TUREI CAPTAIN
You will return Wrill to us…CHAKOTAY

to make demands, Captain…JANEWAY
You've lost shields and weapons
and unless you'd like our friends
to finish the job--I suggest you leave
and forget you ever heard of Ambassador
Wrill.TUREI CAPTAIN
(furious, but knows he's lost,
a long beat)
Until next time, Captain Janeway…
Turei Captain flicks off…we see the image of his ship's engines PULSING…they swing around and DISAPPEAR going to warp.
KIM
The Turei have gone to warp,
Captain.Paris turns to look at Janeway…
PARIS
Lucky for us, the odds changed
in our favor…107 JANEWAY
Close on her look, she is still somewhat amazed by what happened…
JANEWAY
(to Tuvok)
Hail the Klingons…He works…
TUVOK
(shocked again!)
I am sorry, Captain (beat), but the
Klingons are gone as well…Janeway can think of nothing to say and just collapses in her chair…
JANEWAY
Stand down, red alert…Lights return to normal…

Standing close to one another talking quietly…
JANEWAY
(touches his arm)
Somehow, I think it was all
worth it in the end. (beat)
But what I don't understand is
why? Your people had given us
so much already.WRILL
(more serious)
I am an old man, Captain…
(long beat)…it gives me joy
to enrich the lives of others.

Yes…yes…sometimes…that is half
the fun…110 NEW ANGLE-INCLUDE TORRES AND PARIS
