:13:00
My First Officer hasn't been the same
since we stopped off at Earth.
:13:04
Our Medical Officer says he's normal,
but I don't trust him.
:13:09
We know
we don't have all the answers.
:13:11
All we ask
is that you keep your eyes open.
:13:14
That's sound advice at any time.
:13:17
Stay in touch with us... covertly.
:13:21
This meeting never took place
as far as Starfleet is concerned.
:13:27
Please,... I'm asking this
as a personal favour.
:13:37
I'm glad, Jean-Luc.
I'm glad you're still one of us.
:13:44
Tell Beverly l... said hello.
:14:00
And watch your back, Picard.
:14:21
Close friends
are few and far between.
:14:24
Two of the oldest and closest
:14:26
are Jack Crusher, may he rest
in peace, and Walker Keel.
:14:31
Before various missions split us up,
we were virtually inseparable.
:14:37
I trust Keel.
If he had to violate regulations,
:14:40
he must have had a good reason.
:14:42
But you're putting your career
at risk for him.
:14:45
Friendship must dare to risk,
Counsellor, or it's not friendship.
:14:49
They illicitly used
the emergency channel.
:14:53
Then they asked you to keep secrets
from your superiors,
:14:56
effectively to disobey
Starfleet regulations.
