Synopsis:
Janeway must escape from a city under siege by the Mokra,
a brutal regime determined to crush the growing resistance
movement against it.
In search of tellerium to power the ship, Janeway, Tuvok,
Neelix and Torres transport to an Alsaurian city that is
occupied by the hostile Mokra. Tipped off to the crew's presence,
Mokra soldiers capture Tuvok and Torres. Neelix manages to beam
back to Voyager with the tellerium and the Captain is secreted
away by Caylem, an eccentric man who believes Janeway is his
long-lost daughter.
On the ship, Chakotay contacts Augris, the Mokra magistrate,
to obtain the missing crewmembers, but when the effort fails to
produce results, he begins formulating a rescue plan. In Caylem's
home, Janeway learns that Torres and Tuvok have been taken to
the Mokra's impenetrable prison. Hoping to find his missing wife,
Caylem asks the Captain if he can accompany her there. Janeway
refuses, but the point becomes moot when Mokra soldiers arrive,
looking for her. The pair slip out of Caylem's hideout seconds
before the soldiers burst in.
Janeway and Caylem approach the resistance leader who
provided the tellerium, who agrees to help them get weapons so
they can break the crew out of the prison. But when Janeway
realizes that the weapons exchange is a trap, she must resort to
using her feminine wiles to overtake two guards protecting the
prison's access tunnels. After she and Caylem subdue the guards
and steal their weapons, the pair sneak into the prison.
Meanwhile, Voyager comes under hostile fire by the Mokra and the
ship is ordered to leave the area immediately.
Janeway is able to help free Tuvok and Torres, but she goes
back to help Caylem look for his wife. Unfortunately, they run
right into Augris, who reveals that Caylem's wife and daughter
-- both members of the resistance -- are dead. Caylem fatally
stabs the magistrate and takes a phaser shot meant for Janeway.
As Caylem dies, Janeway plays the role of his daughter and
assures him that both she and her mother forgive him for having
been too fearful to join the resistance years earlier. Seconds
later, Paris arrives and the entire Away Team beams back to the
ship.
