TEASER
FADE IN:
1 EXT. STARBASE 133 - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)
is docked at this starbase on the edge of a planetary
system. A planet is clearly visible.
BEVERLY (V.O.)
Chief Medical Officer's log,
Stardate 44161.2. We are docked
at Starbase One-Three-Three for
scheduled crew rotation. I look
forward to welcoming aboard my
mentor, and dear friend, Doctor
Dalen Quaice, who will be
traveling with us to his home
planet, Kenda Two.
2 INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL)
BEVERLY stands waiting patiently. O'BRIEN is at the
console. A quite elderly man in a Starfleet uniform
MATERIALIZES on the Transporter pad: DALEN QUAICE. He
carries a small bag. As he steps slowly off the pad,
Beverly moves to embrace him.
BEVERLY
Dalen!
QUAICE
It's good to see you again,
Beverly.
BEVERLY
You look wonderful.
QUAICE
(smiles)
A lie I can live with. It's kind
of your captain to ferry me home.
BEVERLY
It's on our way.
(to O'Brien)
Thank you, Chief.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - TEASER 2.
2 CONTINUED:
O'BRIEN
My pleasure, Doctor.
Beverly and Quaice EXIT.
3 INT. CORRIDOR
As Beverly and Quaice walk along.
BEVERLY
Dalen, I was sorry to hear about
Patricia.
QUAICE
She'd been ill for some time.
BEVERLY
Is her death the reason you're
giving up your post here?
QUAICE
(nods)
We had a lifetime together, doing
all the things we'd ever dreamed.
And more. But when she was gone,
I couldn't continue to work in
that office, sleep in that bed
without her... the absence of
her was too... distracting...
(shakes his head)
I'm not sure I'm making any sense.
BEVERLY
Jack and I didn't have a lifetime,
only a few short years. But I
understand. When you realize
someone you love is lost
forever...
She shakes her head.
QUAICE
You know what the worst part of
growing old is? So many of the
people you've known all your
life are gone... and you realize
you didn't take the time to
appreciate them while you still
could...
(MORE)
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - TEASER 3.

QUAICE (Cont'd)
(beat)
I'm sorry. There was no reason
to heap all this emotional baggage
on you.
(indicates bag)
I usually travel light.
She puts her arm through his, comforting him, as they
walk on. Her face is reflective as she thinks about
what he said.
4 INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
WESLEY is immersed in work at a computer as GEORDI and
a couple of SUPERNUMERARIES make final preparations for
departure.
GEORDI
Wes, time for the experiment is
over... I want my warp engines
back. Now.
Beverly ENTERS, stands near the warp drive, watching
Wesley in silence, Quaice's words still fresh in her
mind.
WESLEY
(working furiously)
Almost done, Commander.
On his computer screen is the CAD representation of
his experiment: the warp drive and a network of
shifting lines of energy forming a distinctively-shaped
bubble within it.
GEORDI
Almost isn't good enough. You
want to explain when the Captain
says "Engage," and we just sit
here?
WESLEY
Just a couple more minutes! I'm
ready to try the new warp field!
(sees Beverly)
Mom?
BEVERLY
(pensive)
Don't let me interrupt.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - TEASER 4.
4 CONTINUED:
WESLEY
(on the fly)
Hi!
GEORDI
Wes!
4A EXCLUDE BEVERLY (OPTICAL)
WESLEY
Right! Okay!
His fingers dance across the console. On the computer
screen the bubble suddenly flares larger. There's an
odd flash of light, almost subliminal, but everybody
notices it.
GEORDI
Computer, level two diagnostic
on warp drive systems.
COMPUTER VOICE
Antimatter containment positive.
Warp drive within normal
parameters.
Geordi hurries over to Wesley.
GEORDI
Talk to me.
WESLEY
(stunned)
That shouldn't have happened.
GEORDI
Ensign Crusher --
WESLEY
Why would there be any visible
phenomena outside the drive?
RIKER'S COM VOICE
Umbilical disconnect.
GEORDI
Are you done?
WESLEY
Uh, yeah...
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - TEASER 5.
4A CONTINUED:
Geordi quickly returns to his station. Wesley saves
his work, shuts down the experiment, looks around for
his mother.
4B ANGLE - FAVORING WESLEY'S P.O.V.
Beverly has gone.
4C BACK TO SCENE
RIKER'S COM VOICE
Clear all moorings. Engineering,
aft thrusters.
Geordi stabs at his console, his team working quickly,
but methodically around him.
GEORDI
Aft thrusters, aye. Impulse power
to the helm.
Wesley starts to go, stops, shoots a last concerned
look around Engineering.
5 EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)
moves away from the starbase.
6 OMITTED
7 INT. CORRIDOR - THE NEXT MORNING
Beverly steps off a turbolift, heads for the door to
some guest quarters, activates the door chimes. There
is no acknowledgement. She tries again, then causes
the door to open.
8 INT. QUAICE'S QUARTERS
Beverly ENTERS, looks around the room. Nothing looks
disturbed.
BEVERLY
Dalen?
(no reply)
Dalen, it's Beverly.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - TEASER 6.
8 CONTINUED:
She keys her communicator.
BEVERLY
Computer, current location of
Doctor Dalen Quaice.
COMPUTER VOICE
There is no Doctor Dalen Quaice
aboard the Enterprise.
As Beverly reacts, we:

FADE OUT.
END OF TEASER
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT ONE 7.
ACT ONE
FADE IN:
10 INT. QUAICE'S QUARTERS
Beverly is waiting when the door opens. WORF ENTERS.
WORF
Doctor?
BEVERLY
Lieutenant Worf, yesterday, before
we left starbase an old friend
of mine came onboard: Doctor Dalen
Quaice. I requested quarters for
him. He was assigned here.
WORF
I was not aware of this passenger.
BEVERLY
I'm sorry. I thought it was
standard procedure for you to be
notified once Captain Picard
approved passage.
WORF
It is. Please proceed.
BEVERLY
We were to meet for breakfast.
But I can't seem to find him...
or any of his things...
WORF
Computer, where is Doctor Dalen
Quaice?
COMPUTER VOICE
There is no Doctor Dalen Quaice
aboard the Enterprise.
BEVERLY
Lieutenant, Doctor Quaice is very
old, and rather frail. If he fell
somewhere... if his communicator
were damaged...
WORF
I will order a search immediately.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT ONE 8.
10 CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
Thank you.
Worf pauses in the doorway, turns to look at Beverly.
WORF
Even if Doctor Quaice had been
injured... why would his
belongings be missing?
She answers him with an equally puzzled look. Worf
nods, EXITS, leaving Beverly alone in the empty room.
11 INT. READY ROOM
PICARD is seated at his desk. Facing him are DATA,
Worf and Beverly.
WORF
Sir, I have several teams
conducting a deck-by-deck search.
It is not yet complete.
DATA
I have scanned the entire ship,
Captain. Other than the
Enterprise's regular complement,
I can find no one else onboard.
BEVERLY
(fearing the worst)
Your sensors wouldn't detect
him... if he were dead...
DATA
That is correct, Doctor.
PICARD
(to Beverly)
Could your friend have returned
to the starbase without telling
you? An emergency of some sort?
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT ONE 9.
11 CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
There were a lot of people going
back and forth between the ship
and the starbase yesterday.
DATA
We can easily check the
transporter I.D. traces.
PICARD
By all means check the trace
log. But even if the results
are negative, contact Starbase
Command. We should leave nothing
to chance.
DATA
Yes, sir.
Picard nods, dismissed. Worf and Data EXIT. Beverly
starts to go.
PICARD
Doctor, one moment please.
(she turns back)
I'm sure you are aware of
procedures involving passengers.
BEVERLY
Of course. I don't know why
Lieutenant Worf wasn't told about
Doctor Quaice.
PICARD
I was not informed either.
BEVERLY
(startled)
But I sent in a request weeks ago.
PICARD
I never received it.
BEVERLY
I'm sure I had a confirmation.
Picard studies her for a moment, then:
PICARD
Computer, search passenger
requests. Doctor Dalen Quaice.
(MORE)
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT ONE 10.
11 CONTINUED: (2)
PICARD (Cont'd)
Point of embarkation: Starbase
One-Three-Three.
COMPUTER VOICE
No listing.
Picard looks at Beverly.
BEVERLY
Captain, I sent in that request.
And it was approved.
PICARD
Then it must have been intercepted
before it reached me.
BEVERLY
And someone else sent the
approval? Why?
PICARD
Doctor Quaice had been stationed
at the starbase for some time?
BEVERLY
Six years.
PICARD
It might be prudent to find out
if he'd acquired any enemies
there.
He stands, follows Beverly out.
12 INT. BRIDGE
Wesley is at the helm. Riker nods as Beverly and
Picard emerge from the Ready Room.
RIKER
On course for Durenia Four, sir.
PICARD
Very good, Number One. Mister
Data?
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/14/90 - ACT ONE 11.
12 CONTINUED:
DATA
Sir, Starbase One-Three-Three has
no record at all of a Doctor Dalen
Quaice.
Picard exchanges a look with Beverly.
PICARD
I thought he was stationed there
for six years.
DATA
Not according to their computer.
I have also accessed Starfleet
records. There is no doctor
currently serving in Starfleet
named Quaice. In fact I cannot
find any service record
whatsoever. There are no birth
records with that name. I find
no --
BEVERLY
Data, I interned with him on Delos
Four. I've known him for fifteen
years.
DATA
I do not doubt you, Doctor.
However I have tried one hundred
seventy-three phonetic variations
of the name, and --
BEVERLY
His name is Dalen Quaice.
Q-U-A-I-C-E. Whatever the records
say, they're wrong.
Turbolift doors open. Worf appears.
PICARD
Mister Worf?
WORF
Captain, we have completed our
search. We cannot locate Doctor
Quaice.
RIKER
You're not alone.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT ONE 12.
12A ANGLE - TO INCLUDE WESLEY
as he begins to realize a terrible possibility.
BEVERLY
He was onboard. I met him in
Transporter Room Three myself.
PICARD
Then it appears, for reasons
unknown, someone has gone to great
pains to erase all traces of this
man.
RIKER
(to Beverly)
Who was on transporter duty when
he came aboard?
HARD CUT TO:
13 INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM - O'BRIEN
overseeing an N.D. CREWMAN working at an exposed panel.
PULL BACK to see Riker and Beverly with him.
O'BRIEN
(reacting)
Doctor Quaice? Was he part of
the regular crew rotation?
RIKER
No. He's a friend of Doctor
Crusher's.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/14/90 - ACT ONE 13.
13 CONTINUED:
O'BRIEN
When did he arrive?
BEVERLY
Sixteen hundred hours yesterday.
O'BRIEN
(startled)
That was my watch. I beamed this
man onboard?
BEVERLY
Yes. I was here to greet him.
An elderly man? Not in the best
of health?
O'BRIEN
I'm sorry. I do remember you were
here for a short while. But you
were alone.
Beverly stares at him.
BEVERLY
Was he invisible? Did I carry
on a conversation with thin air?
O'Brien looks at her as if she's doing that right now.
O'BRIEN
No, Doctor. As far as I can
recall, you came in, looked around
for a few moments... I asked you
if I could help you with
anything... All you said was
"Thank you." I said "My
pleasure," or something. That
was the end of it. There was no
one else here.
Beverly is stunned. She exchanges a glance with an
equally astonished Riker.
FADE OUT.
END OF ACT ONE
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/14/90 - ACT TWO 14.
ACT TWO
FADE IN:
14 INT. TURBOLIFT
Beverly and Riker on their way to the Bridge.
BEVERLY
I can't accept that Chief O'Brien
might be lying...
RIKER
He believes what he says. And
there is no trace imprint for
Doctor Quaice.
BEVERLY
Will, I didn't conjure up one of
my best friends from a test tube.
RIKER
If the ship's records have been
tampered with, then the
transporter records could have
been changed as well.
BEVERLY
And with everybody coming and
going yesterday, maybe O'Brien
just doesn't remember, or...
RIKER
Or?
BEVERLY
It might be a good idea to run
a diagnostic on him.
RIKER
To make sure he hasn't been
tampered with?
BEVERLY
What do you think?
RIKER
It's worth a try.
The door opens at the Bridge.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/23/90 - ACT TWO 15.
14 CONTINUED:
RIKER
I'll check the replicator activity
logs -- eighteen hours is a long
time to go without food. Or
without someone seeing him.
He EXITS.
15 INT. SICKBAY
O'Brien is waiting when she arrives.
BEVERLY
Chief, this examination should
only take a few minutes.
O'BRIEN
But I feel fine.
Only TWO NURSES are in sight. Beverly glances around,
puzzled.
BEVERLY
(to Nurse)
Things are awfully quiet around
here. Is everybody really that
healthy?
NURSE
(smiles)
I'm not complaining.
BEVERLY
We should still have a full staff
on duty.
She turns back to O'Brien, not noticing the odd look
the Nurse gives her.
BEVERLY
Sit down, over here...
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 16.
15 CONTINUED:
O'BRIEN
Doctor, it won't do any good to
check my eyesight. I didn't see
your friend.
BEVERLY
(indicates examination
table)
I'll be a little more
comprehensive than that, Chief.
(keys communicator)
Crusher to Doctor Hill.
(nothing)
Respond please. Doctor Selar,
what is your present location?
(silence)
Computer, current whereabouts of
Doctors Hill and Selar.
COMPUTER VOICE
There is no Doctor Hill or Doctor
Selar aboard the Enterprise.
Beverly reacts.
15A INT. CREW QUARTERS (FORMERLY SCENE 19)
A middle-aged woman, CARA HILL, frowns at Beverly.
CARA
I'm afraid I don't understand.
BEVERLY
Your husband: Doctor Richard
Hill...
CARA
With all due respect, you're
mistaken. I'm not married.
Beverly stares at her.
BEVERLY
Of course you are. Your husband
is my staff osteopath. You came
onboard together six months ago.
CARA
I did report for duty six months
ago. But I was alone.
(MORE)
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 17.
15A CONTINUED:
CARA (Cont'd)
I am not married. I've never
been married --
(a wry smile)
-- except perhaps to exobiology.
This shakes Beverly.
16 INT. READY ROOM
Picard listens as Beverly explains.
BEVERLY
Doctors Hill and Selar, and four
other members of my medical staff
have all vanished. All record
of their ever having been on the
Enterprise has been excised from
the computer's memory.
PICARD
Did they come aboard with Doctor
Quaice?
BEVERLY
(shakes her head)
No. They've been here for months.
But the two duty nurses don't
remember them. Their families
don't even remember them...
PICARD
As O'Brien didn't remember Doctor
Quaice... ?
BEVERLY
(nods)
I checked O'Brien thoroughly.
I found no physiological
abnormalities.
WESLEY'S COM VOICE
Crusher to Captain Picard.
PICARD
Go ahead, Ensign.
16A INT. ENGINEERING
Wesley and Geordi are at a computer.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT TWO 17A.
16A CONTINUED:
WESLEY
I'm in Engineering, sir. I think
there's something here you'd
better see. It might be
connected to Doctor Quaice's
disappearance.
PICARD'S COM VOICE
On my way.
Wes exchanges a glance with Geordi.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 18.
17 INT. BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS
As Beverly and Picard ENTER from the Ready Room, Riker
is in his chair, Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical. On the
move...
PICARD
(to Riker)
Number One, any progress?
RIKER
(shakes his head)
No one's seen him. The replicator
in his quarters hasn't been used.
PICARD
(to Worf)
Check shield and hull integrity
for any sign of intruders...
WORF
Yessir... but I have been closely
monitoring onboard sensors...
there has been no indication...
PICARD
(interrupting)
Then give me a Level One
diagnostic of all onboard sensors,
and run a manual sweep for any
anomalous airborne or
electromagnetic readings. I want
some answers.
Picard and Beverly get on the turbolift.
18 INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
Wesley and Geordi are at a computer. PULL BACK to find
Beverly and Picard behind them.
WESLEY
I've been experimenting with
Kosinski's warp field equations...
Trying to find a way to improve
engine efficiency.
PICARD
(nods)
I've read your reports.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 19.
18 CONTINUED:
GEORDI
We did a test run while we were
at the starbase.
Geordi indicates the terminal where we can see the CAD
diagram as before.
GEORDI
(continuing)
Here's what the computer recorded.
18A THE MONITOR - OKUDAGRAM (OPTICAL)
It is a very distinctive, twisting shape... unique
enough to be recognized later.
WESLEY
This is the static warp field
we created inside the warp drive.
The experiment was designed to
see if we could keep a bubble like
this intact.
GEORDI
As you'll see in a moment, we
couldn't.
On the screen the bubble expands, then contracts again
in the blink of an eye.
18B RESUME SCENE
GEORDI
There was a momentary flash of
light. It was all over the
spectrum.
BEVERLY
I remember that.
PICARD
Are you suggesting this bubble
could have made Doctor Quaice
disappear?
WESLEY
If he were caught in it...
yessir, it would seem to us like
he'd disappeared.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 20.
18B CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
Where would he go?
GEORDI
(sighs)
Who knows... he could even end
up outside our space-time
continuum...
PICARD
Was Doctor Quaice in Engineering
during your experiment?
GEORDI
No, sir.
PICARD
And this bubble never expanded
beyond Engineering?
WESLEY
Nossir.
PICARD
Then how could it have trapped
Doctor Quaice or the others?
WESLEY
Other people are missing?
BEVERLY
Yes, and they weren't anywhere
near Engineering either.
WESLEY
(shakes his head)
It doesn't make sense.
PICARD
And I doubt warp bubbles could
alter computer records, or erase
memories.
(beat)
Keep at it, Ensign, Mister La
Forge. It's the only working
theory we have for now.
They acknowledge. Picard and Beverly EXIT...
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT TWO 21.
19 OMITTED
20 INT. SICKBAY
Beverly ENTERS. Sickbay is totally deserted. She
stands frozen in the middle of the room, fighting off
a rising panic. She turns and hurries out.
21 INT. BRIDGE
Beverly ENTERS from the turbolift. Data is at Ops,
Picard and Riker looking over his shoulder. Worf is
at Tactical, a SUPERNUMERARY at Conn. There are no
other crew members present.
PICARD
Has something else happened?
BEVERLY
Sickbay is totally empty.
Apparently I no longer have any
staff.
Picard, Data and Riker exchange glances.
RIKER
And that surprises you, Doctor?
BEVERLY
(stares at him)
Surprises me? I'll say it
surprises me! There should be
at least four members of my staff
on duty at all times.
DATA
I am afraid the ship's records
do not concur.
BEVERLY
What are you talking about?
DATA
You do not have a staff.
Again the panic begins to rise. Again Beverly fights
it off.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT TWO 22.
21 CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
You're telling me I'm the sole
medical officer on a ship with
over a thousand people on board?!
DATA
Excuse me, Doctor, but the entire
ship's complement is two hundred
thirty.
Beverly fights her emotions, trying to digest this.
BEVERLY
No. That's wrong! Whatever is
happening is affecting your
memories, too.
Picard studies her...
PICARD
Doctor, may I see you in my Ready
Room?
Beverly looks at the others... who look at her... and
follows Picard into the Ready Room.
21A INT. READY ROOM
As they enter, sit. Picard takes a long beat. The
tone is low-key...
PICARD
Beverly, you're saying this ship
has lost nearly eight hundred of
its personnel... ?
BEVERLY
I know how it must sound...
PICARD
None of the scans reveal any
anomalies... there is no sign of
an intruder... Wesley's experiment
clearly did not have the scope
to affect an entire starship...
BEVERLY
The Enterprise is in serious
danger. You must believe me...
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT TWO 23.
21A CONTINUED:
PICARD
I have no choice but to believe
you. The safety of my crew is
at stake. But I want to be
sure...
BEVERLY
That I haven't lost my mind?
They look at each other in a very personal way.
BEVERLY
I just examined myself... being
the only doctor on board, I had
to do it myself... there is no
sign of dysfunction... yes,
there's an elevation of adrenalin
which I think is understandable...
A beat, she collects herself...
PICARD
Did you find anything that might
suggest why you're apparently the
only one among us unaffected by
this... phenomenon?
BEVERLY
No.
(meets his eyes)
I'll talk to Troi.
PICARD
It wouldn't do any harm.
They exchange a glance in which Picard reveals a deeper
personal caring for her.
BEVERLY
Jean-Luc, please... return to
Starbase One-Three-Three for a
full diagnostic. I realize you
have only my word to convince
you...
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/17/90 - ACT TWO 24.
21A CONTINUED: (2)
PICARD
(keys insignia)
Mister Riker, set a course to
return to Starbase One-Three-Three
immediately.
RIKER'S COM VOICE
Aye, sir.
She looks at him gratefully
PICARD
Your word has always been good
enough for me.
On her reaction...

23A INT. BEVERLY'S OFFICE
Beverly ENTERS. We TRACK with her. Suddenly she
stops dead, her eyes trying to focus on something she
sees before her.
24 BEVERLY'S POV (OPTICAL)
Something is forming in the air: a swirling vortex
of color and sound, spiraling larger, the sound a roar
of white noise, growing in intensity.
25 BACK TO SCENE (OPTICAL)
As the vortex grows, its wind begins to buffet her.
She finds herself being drawn by its force. She braces
herself against the wall. But the pull grows stronger
and stronger. Before she knows it she's caught up in a
whirling, blinding maelstrom. She grabs on to
something as she finds herself being inexorably pulled
into the vortex... Beverly screams.
There's a blinding flash of light. The vortex is gone
in a wink. She falls to the floor, and lies there,
trying to catch her breath.
FADE OUT.

30 INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE
Picard, Troi, Geordi, Riker and Beverly are present.
GEORDI
I've had a team in Sickbay for
two hours. We've run the mass
spectrometer on all
particulates... we've scanned the

BEVERLY
I didn't just see it. I felt it.
I barely got away from it!
And she realizes how paranoid this sounds... and the
others look at her.
GEORDI
Well, there's nothing there now.
And no sign there ever was.
A silence. Picard frowns.
PICARD
Is there any possible connection
to Mister Crusher's experiment...
could this warp bubble be...
floating around the ship
perhaps...
GEORDI
No, sir. The bubble was definitely
contained in Engineering. There's
no way it could affect something
up on Deck Twelve.

Data ENTERS.
DATA
Sir, I have completed level-1
computer diagnostics. There
are no malfunctions.
RIKER
Any other ships respond to our
queries, Data?
DATA
The Wellington is the only
Federation vessel in this
sector... it reports normal
operations. A Ferengi ship within
communications range also reports
nothing unusual.
RIKER
Have external sensors detected
anything out of the ordinary?
DATA
The interstellar medium in this
sector is slightly denser than
average. However, all readings
are well within normal parameters.
Picard mulls this over. Beverly asks the big question
--
BEVERLY
Are all members of the crew
accounted for?
DATA
Yes, doctor.
BEVERLY
How many are there?
DATA
There are one hundred fourteen
people on the Enterprise.
Everyone turns to look at Beverly.

That is the exact number there
should be.
BEVERLY

There are now close to nine
hundred missing.
The others exchange glances... Picard's eyes stare at
the table top.
BEVERLY
(explodes)
Deck after deck of this ship is
now deserted. How do you explain
all the empty rooms? If only a
hundred fourteen people are
supposed to be on board, why all
the extra space?
DATA
(rattling off logical
explanations)
Transportation of colonists...
diplomatic missions... emergency
evacuations...
PICARD
(enough)
Thank you, Mister Data.
He looks up for the first time. Calmly --
PICARD
Have security confine all nonessential
personnel to their
quarters. Computer, Red Alert.
The Red Alert lights begin to flash.
BEVERLY
Sir, I'd like Lieutenant Worf
to program onboard sensors to
monitor all personnel... if we
can catch the exact moment someone
disappears...
This is met with absolute silence. She sees their

TROI

If you can ask the question, I'd
say no.
BEVERLY
Don't evade the question.
TROI

Then ask me one I can answer.
A beat. Moving...
BEVERLY
Deanna, I've delivered babies who
no longer exist! No one else

What if it's just me?!

including me...
TROI
So what?

Beverly, you've acted in the best
interests of your ship and crew.
What more could you ask of
yourself? If it turns out to be
a... mistake... we'll be a little
late to Durenia Four... that's
all.
BEVERLY
It's not a mistake... I wish it
were...
TROI
When we reach Starbase, I'll order
a complete workup: both physical
and psychological.
BEVERLY

Wesley looks at her with concern...
BEVERLY
You don't believe me...
WESLEY
I don't know, Mom...
BEVERLY
I don't have time to convince you.
Hundreds of people are gone and
your experiment is the only
possible explanation we have to
work on right now...
He indicates the monitor where we again see the CAD
representation of the distinctively-shaped bubble.
WESLEY
There it is. I don't know what
else to do...
BEVERLY
Then find someone who does...
someone who knows more about...
about warp bubbles...
WESLEY

I've already talked to Kosinski
on subspace... he can't explain
it either and it's all based on
his equations. There is someone
who might be able to help us, but
I can't reach him.
BEVERLY
Who?

31 CONTINUED: (2)
WESLEY
He was Kosinski's assistant...
an alien from Tau Alpha C... He
said he was a "Traveler"...
somehow he combined warp
technology with the energy of his
own thoughts...
BEVERLY
(thoughtful)
Yes, I remember... he took us
where thoughts and reality became
indistinguishable...
(beat)
Wesley, is it possible you've
accidentally re-created something
he did? Something that could
alter reality?
WESLEY
I don't see how. But he's the
only one who could tell us...
I've sent a message by subspace,
but Tau Alpha C is so far away,
it'll take days to get there.
BEVERLY
(pulling him along)
Maybe the Captain can help us...
We've got to find him. Come on...
WESLEY
I don't even know if he's still
alive. He was sick.
BEVERLY
Wesley, it's a chance, we have
to...
They turn a corner.

PICARD
We've never needed a crew before.
She sits beside him.
BEVERLY
I don't suppose you remember an
alien from Tau Alpha C who was
once onboard... called himself
a Traveler... ?
Picard gives her a look of concern and sadness.
BEVERLY
Jean-Luc, I don't know how, but
you and I must find this Traveler
or another from his race... if
anyone can help us...
PICARD
You have my word... as soon as
we return to the starbase, I'll
make every effort to find him.
BEVERLY
This isn't a delusion. It isn't
a dream. There is a physical,
measurable phenomenon at work.
(beat, an idea)
Maybe you can help me identify
it...
PICARD
How?
BEVERLY
I'd like to use the ship's
computer to monitor your life

what's happening, and to bring
you all back.

I'm sorry I lost my temper.
You do remember that?
PICARD
Vividly. But if I have forgotten
my closest friends and comrades,

For quite awhile now there's
something I've been meaning to
say to you. I may not get another
chance. Jean-Luc, you and I --
The computer readout is gone in a wink. She is talking

Your species have very narrow

When Beverly Crusher was caught
in the static warp bubble, she
created her own reality. Her
thoughts at the precise moment
she was trapped determined its
shape and form.
TROI
Can you go in and get her back?
TRAVELER
No, it is her reality. I cannot
enter it... any more than I can
enter her thoughts.
WESLEY
But you said there's still a way.
The Traveler moves to Wesley - and there's an
intensity between them... Clearly, in Wesley, the
Traveler sees a being who can begin to reach beyond
his limitations and is excited by that possibility.
TRAVELER
I can help, but I can't do it
myself. Wesley, there is a power
within each of us that most people
haven't begun to realize... you
have, or I would not have known
to come here now...

As before the Traveler and Wesley punch equations into
their computers. The Traveler never watches the
computer, only Wesley... Wesley is concentrating,
trying too hard...
TRAVELER
Let it go, Wesley... let go of
the anticipation... the
expectations... the demands upon
yourself... let it all go...
leave it behind.
Wesley breathes deeply... lets go off tension in his
face...
TRAVELER
Yes. The ability is there...
inside you... you don't need to
look for it...
As Wesley closes his eyes, continuing to punch in
equations...
62 INT. BRIDGE (OPTICAL)
The Red Alert continues. Beverly is pacing, stops to
stare at the diagram again as the ship shakes, then
resumes pacing.
COMPUTER VOICE
Three minutes thirty seconds to
life support failure.
BEVERLY
(to herself, quick pace,
pressing herself to
complete equation)
The Traveler used his thoughts
to alter warp fields... and
thoughts became reality... Now
I'm in a warp field...
(beat)
Could my thoughts have changed
this reality?
She's still not quite there, gives herself a pep talk:
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/20/90 - ACT FIVE 52.
62 CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
(continuing)
Come on, Beverly! What's the next
step?!
(an idea)
What was I thinking at the
moment Wesley's bubble formed?
Dalen Quaice... He said... all
the people he'd known were gone...
I thought of Jack... I went to
see Wesley... the flash in
Engineering... And that's when
it started... when I started
losing everybody!
(lightbulb)
My thoughts created this universe.
Can they get me out of it again?
COMPUTER
That information is not available.
BEVERLY
I'm not talking to you.
(beat)
Click my heels together three
times and I'm back in Kansas?
Can it be that simple?
She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes... PUSH IN
to her face as she concentrates... a beat later, she
opens her eyes. Nothing.
BEVERLY
(continuing; frowns)
No, it can't be that simple.
62A INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
No Red Alert. Picard ENTERS. Geordi and
supernumeraries are nearby. Wesley's relaxing into the
task... still entering equations with his eyes closed.
The Traveler, satisfied, closes his eyes... after a
beat, he begins to phase...
63 INT. BRIDGE
The Red Alert continues.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/20/90 - ACT FIVE 53.
63 CONTINUED:
COMPUTER VOICE
Two minutes thirty seconds to life
support failure.
BEVERLY
Computer, hypothetical
situation... a person is trapped
inside a static warp bubble.
Determine a means of escape...
COMPUTER VOICE
Escape would theoretically depend
on establishing a stable threshold
between the warp field and the
outer environment.
BEVERLY
Can you describe this threshold?
COMPUTER VOICE
Negative. There are no known
practical applications of this
theory.
BEVERLY
Extrapolate from theoretical
database. How might it manifest
itself?
COMPUTER VOICE
A dynamic atmospheric disturbance
of great intensity.
BEVERLY
Disturbance? The vortex! They
must have been trying to reach
me! But how do I find it... ?
Wesley, where do I go? Help me...
63A INT. ENGINEERING
Close on Wesley... as he goes deeper and deeper inside
himself... using his extraordinary mental abilities,
trying to reach out for his mother...
63B INT. BRIDGE
Red Alert continuing.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/20/90 - ACT FIVE 53A.
63B CONTINUED:
BEVERLY
Stable threshold... They've
been trying to create a stable
threshold. Where are they trying
to do it?
(the final piece of the
puzzle)
Where did they do it the first
time? Engineering!
She bolts for the turbolift...
COMPUTER VOICE
One minute thirty seconds to life
support failure.
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/20/90 - ACT FIVE 54.

70A INT. TURBOLIFT
Beverly waits. Suddenly the turbolift jars to a
halt.
BEVERLY
Engineering!
COMPUTER VOICE
Failure in Turboshaft Four.
Unable to proceed to Main
Engineering.
BEVERLY
Just get me anywhere on Deck
Thirty-Six!
The Turbolift begins moving again.
70B INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
No Red Alert. The Traveler is still phasing. His
eyes and Wesley's eyes are still closed. And then,
incredibly, Wesley begins to phase too... In the
background, the vortex begin to form. Reactions.
71 INT. CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)
Beverly steps off the turbolift. It vanishes behind
her, revealing the gray, misty void. She sees it,
takes off at a run. As she runs, pieces of the ship
disappear behind her. She's only keeping a few steps
ahead of it!
72 INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
Picard and Geordi watch as Welsey's phasing begins
to sync up with the Traveler. The vortex grows even
brighter. But then Geordi glances at his readouts,
shakes his head, looks at Picard, quietly --
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT FIVE 55.
72 CONTINUED:
GEORDI
We're losing the bubble...
73 INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
Red Alert. Beverly charges in. The vortex is there,
but beginning to break up! She leaps through!
74 INT. ENGINEERING (OPTICAL)
Beverly half falls, half tumbles out of the vortex.
The vortex vanishes in a flash of light. Picard moves
to her. Wesley and the Traveler stop phasing. Wesley
collapses, exhausted. And the Traveler, too, looks
drained. Picard helps Beverly to her feet. He smiles,
embraces her.
BEVERLY
Jean-Luc...
(sees the Traveler,
reacts)
You...
He stares at her.
BEVERLY
Do I have you to thank for getting
me back?
TRAVELER
No.
He steps aside to reveal Wesley. Wesley stands slowly,
uncertain. She holds out her arms. Wesley moves to
hug her. They hold each other in silence.
BEVERLY
Captain, if I may ask: how many
people are there onboard?
STAR TREK: "Remember Me" - REV. 8/21/90 - ACT FIVE 56.
74 CONTINUED:
PICARD
(surprised)
One thousand fourteen, including
your guest, Doctor Quaice.
She closes her eyes.
GEORDI
Is there something wrong with that
count?
BEVERLY
(smiles)
No. That's the exact number
there should be.
She holds Wesley even tighter.
75 EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)
as it holds its position near the Starbase.
FADE OUT.
