	FADE IN:

1    INT. BRIDGE

	Red Alert! PICARD, DATA and a few N.D's are dealing
	with what is clearly an urgent situation.

					DATA
				(off console)
			We are losing containment in the
			starboard nacelle tube --

					PICARD
			Try to get more power to the field
			coils.

					DATA
				(works)
			Yes, sir.

					PICARD
			Geordi, report.

2    INT. ENGINEERING

	where GEORDI and a few N.D's are trying to contain the
	situation. The WARP CORE is pulsing at an accelerated
	rate, giving off an enormous SOUND.

					GEORDI
			I can't shut down the plasma
			injectors -- someone's locked out
			the controls.

3    INT. BRIDGE

					DATA
				(off console)
			The plasma venting system has
			engaged.

4    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	where we can see DRIVE PLASMA escaping from the
	starboard nacelle into space.

     STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - TEASER     1A.

5    INT. JEFFERIES TUBE

	as RIKER and WORF scramble up the ladder.


     STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - TEASER     2.

5    CONTINUED:

					WORF
			Two more decks --

					RIKER
				(hits combadge)
			Riker to Bridge -- we've almost
			reached the nacelle tube.

6    INT. BRIDGE

					PICARD
			Acknowledged.
				(to Data)
			Release the exterior hull plate.
			We may have to jettison the core.

	Data acknowledges and works his console.

7    INT. NACELLE CONTROL (OPTICAL)

	as Riker and Worf ENTER from a Jefferies tube junction
	and stop in their tracks at what they see -- their
	faces are lit by INTERACTIVE LIGHT as they take in the
	strange scene before them.

	This control room is situated at the forward end of the
	starboard nacelle. In addition to wall panels, there
	is a free standing console with work stations on both
	sides. There is an access DOOR in the back wall that
	leads into the injector room.

	A ladder leads to a catwalk above -- there is an
	OBSERVATION WINDOW in the wall through which it is
	possible to see into the injector room, and beyond
	that, the nacelle tube itself. When the plasma stream
	is on, as it is now, its fiery glow obscures these
	structures.

	A TRANSLUCENT MAINTENANCE DOOR can drop down to cover
	the window -- but even then the intense light of the
	plasma bleeds through.

	Riker and Worf are startled upon entering the room
	because a man is standing on the catwalk, poised to
	jump through the forecefield and into the plasma.

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - TEASER   3.

7    CONTINUED: (2)

	He is LIEUTENANT KWAN, a humanoid in his mid-thirties --
	part Asian, part Napean. He is clearly agitated and
	distraught.

	Riker turns to LIEUTENANT NARA, who along with an N.D,
	is standing motionless, unsure what to do. She is
	humanoid, in her mid-thirties.

					RIKER
				(quiet)
			What happened?

					NARA
				(quiet)
			He locked out the controls...
			before we knew what was happening,
			he stepped up onto the walkway.

	Riker gestures for Worf to go to a console.

					RIKER
			See if you can shut down the
			plasma flow.

	Worf acknowledges and moves away.

					NARA
			I'm afraid if we try to get any
			closer, he'll jump through the
			forecefield.

	Riker acknowledges, turns to Kwan.

					RIKER
			Dan...

8    ON KWAN

	facing the plasma stream, his face lit by its glow --
	Riker can be seen behind him. Riker takes a cautious
	step toward him.

					RIKER
			It's me... Wil Riker.

	Kwan doesn't seem to react to the name...

					RIKER
				(continuing)
			I was here yesterday, remember?

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - TEASER   4.

8    CONTINUED:

	Something registers on Kwan's face -- he looks down at
	his hands, seems horrified by what he sees there.
	Although we see nothing, he wipes his hands on his
	uniform, as if to clean them. When he speaks, it is in
	the tones of a man confessing a wretched crime.

					KWAN
			I didn't... want to do it...
			but... I saw them... and... they
			laughed at me... they laughed...

	Kwan is clearly in agony about this... though Riker has
	no idea what he's talking about, he knows he needs to
	try and calm him down.

					RIKER
			Whatever happened, we can talk
			about it. I want to help.

	Riker starts to climb the ladder to the catwalk.

					KWAN
			Stay away!

	Riker stops --

					RIKER
			I want you to be able to see me,
			that's all... so we can talk.

					KWAN
			I... know... what I have to do...

	He takes a half-step toward the plasma stream.

					RIKER
			Dan, wait --

9    ON WORF AND NARA

	at the console, working to free the controls.

					WORF
			I have unlocked the controls --

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Shut down procedure initiated.

					NARA
			There's still plasma in the
			injector -- it'll take time to
			vent off...

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - TEASER   5.

10   RESUME SCENE (OPTICAL)

	Riker has taken note of the fact that the plasma stream
	will soon dissipate -- he knows he needs to keep Kwan
	from jumping until it does.

					RIKER
			Tell me what happened. Maybe I
			can help.

	But Kwan is staring intently into the stream, seems
	strangely calmed by it.

					KWAN
			I know what I have to do...

	Riker senses what he's about to do and makes a sudden
	move toward him... but it's too late... Kwan has
	already started to move... Riker misses him by half a
	step and Kwan jumps through the FORCEFIELD and into the
	stream -- he is instantly VAPORIZED.

	Riker stops in mid-stride -- so close. Off Riker's
	expression as he realizes how close they came to saving
	Kwan's life...

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

          (NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes.)            

11   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as it hangs in space.

12   INT. READY ROOM

	Riker and Worf are reporting what happened to Picard
	and TROI.

					RIKER
			A few more seconds and we could've
			saved his life...

	Riker clearly feels that he should have been able to
	talk Kwan down.

					WORF
			Commander... you did everything
			you could. It was not your fault.

	Riker acknowledges, but can't quite shake the feeling.

					RIKER
			I had the strangest feeling
			that... he didn't even recognize
			me -- and I was with him just the
			other day when I supervised the
			tube refit.

					PICARD
			How did he seem then?

					RIKER
			Fine. In fact I complimented him
			for getting the refit done faster
			than expected. He was pleased
			that I noticed.

					TROI
			I met with him during crew
			evaluations about six weeks ago.
			He was very positive; he was
			looking forward to being posted to
			the nacelle tube.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT ONE  7.

12   CONTINUED:

					RIKER
			He was a fine officer, with a good
			career ahead of him. I just don't
			understand why he would want to...

	Riker trails off, shakes his head.

					PICARD
			In my years as a Starship Captain,
			I've had to notify many families
			that they'd lost a loved one. But
			never to suicide. I'd like to be
			able to offer Lieutenant Kwan's
			family some explanation for what
			happened -- to help them make
			sense of it.

					WORF
			He may have left a message of some
			kind, explaining why he did it.

	Picard acknowledges this possibility.

					PICARD
				(to Troi and Worf)
			I want the two of you to try and
			piece together a picture of his
			last few days.

	Troi and Worf acknowledge.

					TROI
			If he made any personal logs, it
			might be helpful to go through
			them.

					PICARD
			You're authorized to do so.

	A Com signal SOUNDS.

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			La Forge to Captain.

					PICARD
			Go ahead.

13   INT. ENGINEERING

	where Geordi is working at a console.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  8.

13   CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
			I've completed a damage
			assessment. We should be able to
			get underway within the hour.

14   INT. READY ROOM

					PICARD
			Geordi, the medical situation on
			Barson Two has worsened --
			Starfleet has given us permission
			to exceed warp speed limitations
			so we can get back on schedule.

15   INT. ENGINEERING

					GEORDI
			We'll be able to give you warp
			eight if you need it.

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			Acknowledged.

	Geordi returns to work. After a moment, Data
	approaches him.

					DATA
			Geordi, would you agree that the
			instinct for self-preservation is
			shared by most life forms?

					GEORDI
			I'd say it's probably the most
			basic instinct.

					DATA
			That being the case, I am having
			difficulty understanding why
			someone would deliberately
			terminate their own existence.


  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  9.

15   CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
			I don't know, Data. All I can
			think is that maybe Lieutenant
			Kwan felt like there was
			something... wrong in his life,
			something he felt powerless to
			fix.

	Data takes this in.

					DATA
			I believe I understand. I have
			been in a similar situation.

	Geordi's a little surprised to hear this.

					GEORDI
			Really?

					DATA
			The first months following my
			activation were a difficult period
			for me... there were many
			problems associated with my
			becoming sentient.

					GEORDI
			Because your neural net was still
			forming.

					DATA
			As I acquired new skills, neural
			pathways would form and take the
			place of other, less complex
			pathways. It was very...
			disorienting.

					GEORDI
			Sure sounds like it.

					DATA
			As my systems grew in complexity,
			it became increasingly difficult
			to integrate new pathways into my
			existing neural net. The
			probability of cascade failure
			grew with each added pathway. I
			came to the conclusion that it
			would be easier and safer to shut
			myself down and start again.

					GEORDI
			But if you did that, you wouldn't
			have remembered any of the things
			that had happened to you.

    STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT ONE    10.

15   CONTINUED: (2)

					DATA
			In a way, it would have been
			like... committing suicide.

	Geordi acknowledges Data's point.

					GEORDI
			So what did you do?

					DATA
			I decided against the procedure.
			I chose instead to treat the
			problems I was having with my
			systems as... challenges to be
			overcome, instead of obstacles to
			be avoided.

	Geordi studies his friend's face for a beat; once
	again, Data has shown facets of himself no one knew he
	had.

					GEORDI
			That's a great way of looking at
			it. It's too bad Lieutenant Kwan
			wasn't able to look at his
			problems the same way.

	Data acknowledges his sentiment, and after a beat, they
	return to work...

16   INT. CORRIDOR

	as Worf and Troi make their way down it.

					TROI
			I've gone over Kwan's personnel
			records -- he had an exceptionally
			stable psychological profile.

					WORF
			When we were in the control room,
			it seemed as if he were trying
			to... explain something he'd
			done... something terrible.

					TROI
			He'd been on the Enterprise over
			two years. No one has ever
			reported an altercation with him.

	Worf acknowledges and gestures to a DOOR along the
	corridor.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  11.

16   CONTINUED:

					WORF
				(continuing)
			These were his quarters.

	He works a KEYPAD on the wall and the door OPENS.

17   INT. KWAN'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	These are the smaller, windowless quarters. There are
	CHINESE and ALIEN ARTIFACTS in evidence, reflecting
	Kwan's mixed heritage. Everything is neat and orderly.

	Troi and Worf step inside... they stand silently for a
	moment, almost out of respect for the dead. After a
	beat, Worf moves to a nearby table and picks up an
	ALIEN looking ARTIFACT.

					WORF
			This is a Napean design...

					TROI
			His mother is Napean; his father's
			human.

	He studies the artifact for a beat, then sets it down.
	Troi looks around the room.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Everything looks so... normal.
			For some reason I was half
			expecting to find the place a
			mess.

					WORF
			Yes... it is strange to think that
			someone could be considering
			ending his life and yet not give
			any outward sign of it.

	They continue moving around the room, looking for
	something that might provide a clue.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Right before he jumped, he seemed
			almost... calm.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE 11A.

17   CONTINUED:

					TROI
			He must have been in a lot of pain
			to do what he did. It could be
			that the prospect of ending that
			pain felt like a great relief.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  12.

17   CONTINUED: (2)

	Worf moves to look at something on the wall. Troi
	finds a PHOTOGRAPH of a young woman, a pretty human of
	about thirty. She turns to show it to Worf just as he
	turns away from the wall, so that they almost bump into
	one another -- there's a moment where they're standing
	very close, then Troi shows Worf the photograph.

					TROI
			This is Ensign... Calloway, isn't
			it?

	Worf looks at the photo, acknowledges.

					WORF
			She is a medical technician in
			Sickbay.

	Troi's face registers sympathy for Calloway.

					TROI
			It's always hard to lose someone
			you care about... but to lose them
			like this...

	They study the picture for a beat, then she sets it
	down.

					WORF
			We should start going over his
			logs...

	They move to a DESKTOP COMPUTER TERMINAL -- Troi sits
	and activates it, Worf leans in to look.

					TROI
			This is his last entry; he made it
			before going on duty this morning.

	Kwan's face appears on the MONITOR.

					KWAN
			Personal log, Stardate 47622.1.
			We finally finished the nacelle
			tube refit last night. After
			pulling two double shifts in a
			row, I'm really looking forward to
			spending some time with Maddy.

					TROI
			Ensign Calloway...

	Worf and Troi are struck by how upbeat Kwan seems, and
	puzzled that he seemed to be making plans.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  13.

17   CONTINUED: (3)

					TROI
				(continuing)
			That doesn't sound like a man
			planning on ending his life.

					WORF
			No... it does not...

	Off the mystery of the moment...

18   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as it travels at warp.

19   INT. BEVERLY'S OFFICE

	as Troi and CALLOWAY ENTER from Sickbay so they can
	talk in private. The young woman is clearly destroyed
	by what's happened.

					CALLOWAY
			I can't believe he's really
			gone... I keep thinking he's
			going to show up and tell me
			there's been some terrible
			misunderstanding...

	Troi's tone is gentle, caring -- she's both
	investigating Kwan's death and counseling a bereaved
	crewmember.

					TROI
			I thought you might like to know
			that in his personal logs, Dan
			talked about you a great deal. He
			loved you very much.

					CALLOWAY
			If that's true... then how could
			he... leave me like this?

	Troi puts a comforting hand to her shoulder.

					TROI
			That's what I'm trying to find
			out. I know it's hard to talk
			about right now... but it would be
			very helpful if you could tell me
			a few things about him.

	Calloway acknowledges, pulls herself together.

    STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT ONE    14.

19   CONTINUED:

					TROI
				(continuing)
			When was the last time you saw
			him?

					CALLOWAY
			Two nights ago... we were planning
			our next shore leave together.

					TROI
			Did he mention anything that
			happened recently... anything that
			might have upset him?

					CALLOWAY
			No, not really... he did say
			something about work, about
			Lieutenant Nara, but it wasn't
			anything serious.

					TROI
			Nara... she's his superior officer
			in the nacelle tube.

					CALLOWAY
			Yes. Dan sensed that she... well,
			that she felt threatened by him --
			that she thought he was after her
			position.

	Troi take this in.

					TROI
			Was he prone to mood swings, or
			depression?

					CALLOWAY
			No... but he was very sensitive to
			other people's moods.

					TROI
			What do you mean?

					CALLOWAY
			Sometimes he would just... look at
			me, and know what I was feeling --
			I always loved that about him.

					TROI
			Napeans are partially empathic --
			he may have inherited some of his
			mother's abilities.

    STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT ONE    15.

19   CONTINUED: (2)

					CALLOWAY
				(smiles)
			He used to tease me that when I
			met her, I wouldn't be able to get
			away with anything.

	Calloway is thoughtful for a moment.

					CALLOWAY
				(continuing)
			Dan and I knew each other for over
			two years, but we didn't really
			get together until a few months
			ago. We took it slow...

	Her face falters a little....

					CALLOWAY
				(continuing)
			We thought we had all the time in
			the world...

	Troi is struck by the depth of feeling in her words.
	Calloway turns to her, suddenly determined.

					CALLOWAY
				(continuing)
			Something must've happened to him,
			Counselor. Something terrible
			Because it's not like Dan to take
			his own life. Please... find out
			what it was.

	Troi takes Calloway's plea to heart. Off her face,
	more determined than ever...

20   INT. JEFFERIES TUBE

	as Troi climbs the ladder toward the nacelle tube.

21   INT. NACELLE CONTROL

	as she ENTERS from a Jefferies tube junction. No one
	is there, and the room is bathed by an eerie GLOW that
	emanates from the maintenance DOOR (which is DOWN, in
	position).

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  16.

21   CONTINUED:

	Troi takes a look around the room, starts her way down
	its length. It is clear from her face that she finds
	the whole setting a little spooky -- the strange light,
	the dissonant HUM of the plasma stream, the fact that
	a man died here...

	She continues her slow walk down the length of the
	room... as she passes a FREE-STANDING CONSOLE, a FIGURE
	suddenly emerges from behind it. Troi is startled,
	steps back...

					NARA
			I'm sorry --

	Troi recovers --

					TROI
			I didn't see you there...

	They share a smile over this little incident.
	Lieutenant Nara is holding a TOOL she was working on
	the console with.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			You're Lieutenant Nara, aren't
			you?

	Nara acknowledges.

					NARA
			Can I do something for you,
			Counselor?

					TROI
			I'm investigating Lieutenant
			Kwan's death. I just wanted to
			take a look around.

					NARA
			It's such a shame. He was a good
			man.

	Troi senses Nara is sincere about this.

					TROI
			Did you notice any change in his
			behavior recently?

					NARA
			No... I've been going over the
			last few days in my mind, trying
			to see if I missed any... warning
			signs. It's as if something in
			him just... snapped.

					TROI
			How was his job performance?

					NARA
			Excellent. He knew this ship
			better than most people --
			probably because he helped build
			it back at Utopia Planitia.

					TROI
			Did he get along with his coworkers?

	Nara considers for a beat.

					NARA
			He was... ambitious. He came in
			here with all sorts of new ideas
			about how to do things -- some of
			them very good ideas.

					TROI
			But not all?

					NARA
				(smiles)
			No. But once he settled in, we
			got along fine.

	An N.D. ENTERS and Nara gestures that she'll be right
	there.

					NARA
				(continuing)
			Excuse me for a minute. Feel free
			to look around.

					TROI
			Where was Lieutenant Kwan's
			station?

					NARA
			Right down there.

	Nara indicates a console at the far end of the room.
	Troi acknowledges and Nara crosses away, EXITS with the
	N.D. Troi starts her way down toward Kwan's station.

	With each step she takes, we get a sense that she's
	starting to feel more and more spooked about being
	alone in the room again. We see her try to shake the
	feeling, cross her arms in front of her, and continue.

	She moves to Kwan's station, not really expecting to
	find anything, just trying to get a feel for what
	Kwan's work was like. She turns away, starts to climb
	the ladder to the catwalk.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT ONE  18.

22   ON TROI

	as she moves toward the maintenance door, her face
	growing increasingly brighter.

	Suddenly we see an expression of fear cross her
	features. Troi is overwhelmed by a sense of panic and
	dread, so visceral and immediate that it almost makes
	her gasp.

	She backs away, but the feeling persists, and she
	stumbles back, disoriented by whatever strange
	sensation has overwhelmed her.

	Her hand flies to her mouth to stifle a cry of fear
	that seems to reach from her very core...

	Suddenly Nara ENTERS --

					NARA
			Are you all right?

	Seeing Troi's condition, Nara rushes toward her.

					TROI
				(shaken)
			I... don't know...

	Off Troi's troubled expression...

23   INT. SICKBAY

	Troi is sitting on the center bio-bed, still shaken.
	BEVERLY is doing a TRICORDER scan. Riker and Worf
	stand nearby.

					TROI
			I don't know how to describe it...
			I was suddenly overwhelmed by a
			flood of emotions -- fear, rage,
			panic.

					RIKER
			Whose emotions? I thought you
			said you were alone.

					TROI
			I was. The sensations didn't seem
			to be coming from any one person --
			they were just there, in the room.

	But how can that be?

					WORF
			I scanned the area -- I picked up
			no anomalous readings.

					RIKER
				(to Troi)
			How could you be getting an
			empathic impression from an empty
			room?

					TROI
			I don't know...

	Everyone considers this inexplicable phenomenon for a
	beat.

					BEVERLY
			Could the fact that Kwan was
			partially empathic have something
			to do with it?

					RIKER
			What do you mean?

					BEVERLY
			I'm not sure... but the feelings
			Troi described certainly seem
			consistent with suicide.

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT TWO  20.

23   CONTINUED:

					RIKER
				(to Troi)
			Could his death have left some
			sort of... empathic echo?

					TROI
			I suppose it's a possibility...
			but I don't see how.

	There just isn't enough information for them to go on.

					TROI
				(continued)
			If I went back to the nacelle
			tube, I might be able to get a
			better sense of what I
			experienced.

					BEVERLY
			I'm not sure that's a good idea --
			you're showing elevated levels of
			psilosynine.

					WORF
			Psilosynine?

					BEVERLY
			A neuro-transmitter involved in
			telepathy.
				(to Troi)
			The experience overwhelmed you the
			first time. I don't think you
			should go back until the levels
			return to normal.

	Troi indicates her agreement.

					RIKER
			How long?

					BEVERLY
			Three, maybe four hours.

					RIKER
			Next time I want someone with you.

					WORF
			I will accompany you, Counselor.

	Troi acknowledges. Off this moment...

25   INT. TROI'S QUARTERS

	Troi is working at her DESKTOP COMPUTER TERMINAL, going
	over Kwan's personal logs.

					KWAN'S VOICE
			-- I ran into Maddy yesterday. We
			stood in the corridor and talked
			for almost an hour... The more I
			get to know her, the more I
			realize what a remarkable woman
			she is...

	Troi smiles a little wistfully at this... the door
	CHIMES.

					TROI
			Come in.

	The door OPENS to reveal Worf standing in the doorway.

					TROI
				(continued)
			Hello, Worf.

					WORF
			Counselor...

	Worf ENTERS and crosses toward her.

					WORF
			Have you found anything in
			Lieutenant Kwan's logs?

					TROI
			Everything I've seen indicates he
			was well-adjusted and optimistic.
				(beat)
			Were you able to talk with Ensign
			Trake?

					WORF
			Yes... I interviewed all of Kwan's
			co-workers.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT TWO 21A.

25   CONTINUED:

					TROI
			From what I've read, Trake was his
			best friend.

					WORF
			He observed nothing that indicated
			Kwan was contemplating ending his
			life. Nor did any of the others.

					TROI
			It just doesn't make any sense...

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT TWO  22.

25   CONTINUED: (2)

	Troi stands, crosses toward the replicator.

					TROI
			Can I get you anything?

					WORF
			No, thank you.

					TROI
			Yridian tea...

	We hear the SOUND of the Replicator and Troi removes a
	cup from the slot. They settle into a couch and a
	nearby chair.

					TROI
				(continued)
			I've been thinking about what
			happened to me in the nacelle
			tube... whether it was an empathic
			echo left by Kwan's death...

					WORF
			In the past, have your empathic
			experiences always involved the
			physical presence of another
			person?

					TROI
			All the ones I'm sure of, yes.

					WORF
			What do you mean, sure of?

	Troi considers a beat before replying...

					TROI
			Well... when I was a young girl,
			my Grandfather used to tell me
			stories by the fire... I would
			close my eyes and listen to his
			mind for hours on end...

					WORF
			He told you these stories
			telepathically... ?

					TROI
			My grandfather rarely spoke out
			loud... He said that was for off-worlders
			who didn't know any
			better.

	She smiles to herself.

    STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT TWO    23.

25   CONTINUED: (3)

					TROI
			The only time I can remember his
			stories is when I go home... and
			sit by the fireplace. Sometimes
			when I'm there, alone... it's
			almost as if I can hear his voice
			in my head.

	Worf reacts without skepticism.

					WORF
			Yes... I have sought visions in
			fire.

					TROI
			I can't explain it, but it felt
			very real to me. Just like what
			happened in the nacelle tube.

					WORF
			There are things we do not
			understand, yet they exist
			nonetheless.

	Troi sips her tea, is thoughtful for a moment.

					TROI
			I keep thinking about Ensign
			Calloway... she needs to know
			what happened to Kwan -- it's the
			only way she'll ever be able to
			put his death behind her.

					WORF
			This must be a very difficult time
			for her.

					TROI
			Do you know what she regrets most?
			That she and Kwan didn't take full
			advantage of the time they had
			together... they knew each other
			for a long time, but they didn't
			get together until recently.

					WORF
			She wishes they had acted on their
			feelings sooner... ?

	Troi acknowledges -- their eyes meet for a moment, then
	Worf looks away.

25   CONTINUED: (4)

					WORF

			Perhaps I should let you rest.

					TROI
			It's all right --

	But he's already standing.

					WORF
			If you will excuse me, Counselor.

	She acknowledges and he takes his leave. Off Troi's
	thoughtful expression...

26   INT. TEN FORWARD

	where Worf is standing alone at the bar, pensive.
	Behind him, we see Riker at a table with an attractive
	young WOMAN. After a moment he stands and approaches
	the bar to get a couple beverages.

					RIKER
				(a greeting)
			Worf...

					WORF
			Commander...

	The BARTENDER approaches and Riker orders.

					RIKER
			Two Til'amin froths, please.

	After a beat...

					WORF
			Lieutenant Corell seems to be
			enjoying your company.

					RIKER
				(smiles)
			I'd like to think so.

					WORF
			Are you... involved with her?

					RIKER
			I'm not sure yet.

	Riker glances at Worf -- it's not like him to ask these
	sorts of questions.

					RIKER
				(continuing)
			Why do you ask? Are you
			interested in her?

					WORF
			No...

	Then Worf hastens to point out --

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT TWO  25.

26   CONTINUED:

					WORF
				(continuing)
			But if I were, I would of course
			discuss the situation with you
			before proceeding further.

	Riker understands that this is Worf's way, but --

					RIKER
			I appreciate the thought, but you
			really wouldn't have to do that.

					WORF
			I would never want to come between
			you and anyone you were involved
			with... or had ever been involved
			with.

	Riker senses there's more going on than Worf's saying.
	The bartender arrives and sets down the drinks.

					RIKER
			Is there... someone in particular
			you're talking about?

	Worf can't quite bring himself to say.

					WORF
			No. Is there... someone in
			particular you would prefer I not
			become involved with?

	Riker has to stifle a smile over Worf's awkwardness.

					RIKER
			Worf... you sound like a man
			asking a friend if he can start
			dating his sister.

	Worf dissembles --

					WORF
			No, I am merely... never mind.
			Excuse me, sir.

	And with that he turns and EXITS Ten Forward. Riker is
	left to wonder what had him so twisted up...

27   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT TWO  26.

28   INT. NACELLE CONTROL (OPTICAL)

	as Worf and Troi ENTER from the Jefferies tube. The
	room is bathed by the eerie light that comes through
	the window in the maintenance door.

	Worf glances at Troi to see if she's all right; she
	takes a breath to steel herself, then starts to look
	around the room.

	She climbs the ladder to the catwalk and approaches the
	maintenance door -- her face is lit by the glow from
	the plasma stream.

					TROI
			Could you open this door for me?

					WORF
			Yes, but only for a short time.
			After ninety seconds the plasma
			venting system will engage to
			prevent degradation of the
			forcefield.

					TROI
			I just want to take a quick
			look...

					WORF
			May I ask what you are looking
			for?

					TROI
			I'm... not sure...

	Worf acknowledges, moves back toward the entrance and
	starts to work a console...

	A motor HUMS to life and the heavy door starts to OPEN --
	revealing the PLASMA STREAM.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Warning -- plasma venting system
			will engage in ninety seconds.

	Worf stands at the console, ready to close it again
	when Troi requests it.

29   ON TROI

	as she looks into the plasma stream, her face lit by
	its glow. Suddenly we hear a jarring, percussive
	SOUND. Troi reacts and we --

									CUT TO:

    STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT TWO    27.

30   TROI'S POV - HANDHELD

	a WOMAN is standing a few yards away from her, looking
	directly at Troi, terrified. She's wearing an
	Engineering jumpsuit, and appears to be in her
	thirties.

	Though we don't see Troi, the POV would indicate that
	she's standing in another part of the control room --
	not the catwalk where we just saw her. Stranger still,
	the room around her appears to be unfinished, as if it
	were still under construction. The plasma stream is
	not on.

	The woman backs away from Troi, shaking her head in
	terror --

					WOMAN
			No... please... don't...

	Before Troi can ask who she is we hear the jarring
	SOUND again and --

									CUT TO:

31   TROI

	as her head snaps back. She looks around the room,
	which is back to normal -- she's disoriented by the
	bizarre image that suddenly appeared in her mind.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Plasma venting system will engage
			in... eighty seconds.

	We hear the SOUND again and Troi's head snaps back --

									CUT TO:

32   TROI'S POV (OPTICAL)

	a MAN is staring at her -- intent, menacing. His face
	is a little hazy, as if we're looking at him through a
	tinted glass. He too is in his thirties, and wears an
	Engineering jumpsuit. From what little Troi can see,
	he also appears to be in the unfinished control room.

	The SOUND again --

									CUT TO:

  STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT TWO  28.

33   TROI

	reeling back from the jarring image. She looks around,
	disoriented, and is stunned to see that the room around
	her has changed.

	She's in the partially constructed control room she
	caught glimpses of before -- consoles are open, their
	circuitry exposed. The free-standing console is gone,
	and tubes jut from the floor in its place. The
	maintenance door is up, but the plasma stream is not
	on. A TOOLBOX sits on the floor, with a label in large
	lettering that reads UTOPIA PLANITIA.

33A  NEW ANGLE

	As Troi looks down toward the injector and sees that a
	panel in the injector room wall is off, exposing a
	power conduit underneath.

	Confused, she turns and looks toward where Worf was
	standing -- he's gone.

					TROI
			Worf... ?

	No answer. She's alone... Off this moment we...

34   INT. NACELLE CONTROL - CONTINUOUS

					TROI
			Worf, where are you?

	Still no answer. Troi looks around the room, tries not
	to panic.

	She hears the SOUND of two hushed voices whispering --
	a man and a woman's. Troi moves toward the sound...
	it's coming from the Jefferies tube junction.

	She descends the ladder, moves toward the junction.

35   TROI'S POV - HANDHELD

	as the junction comes into her view -- she sees a man
	and woman locked in a passionate and furtive embrace.

	They're startled by her appearance, and look at her as
	if caught. Troi recognizes the woman -- the same
	terrified face she saw before.

	They regard Troi for a beat, then suddenly the man
	stifles a laugh. The woman buries her face in his
	chest to stifle her own laugh -- it is the kind of
	laughter that can overcome you at an inappropriate
	place, like church, or a funeral. It's bizarre,
	disturbing -- they're laughing at Troi.

36   RESUME SCENE

	Troi backs away, and is startled when she bumps into a
	large figure. She turns, not knowing what to expect --

									CUT TO:

37   WORF

	holding Troi by the shoulders, trying to shake her
	awake. The control room around them is back to normal.

					WORF
			Counselor... are you all right --

37   CONTINUED:

	It takes Troi a moment to realize her hallucinatory
	experience is over. She's disoriented, shaken...

					TROI
			Get me out of here...

	Off her troubled expression...

38   INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	where Picard, Beverly and Data are conferring with Troi
	and Worf about what happened.

					PICARD
			Do you remember anything else?

	Troi thinks for a beat.

					TROI
			I saw a tool crate on the floor...
			it was labeled Utopia Planitia.

					DATA
			The shipyard where the Enterprise
			was built.

	Everyone takes this in.

					PICARD
			Clearly this was much more than an
			empathic echo. It seems that you
			were actually seeing something
			that happened in the control room
			eight years ago.

	Troi struggles to make sense of her experience.

					TROI
			Everyone was looking directly at
			me. It's almost as if... I were
			seeing through someone else's
			eyes.

	Everyone considers this bizarre notion.

					DATA
			Lieutenant Kwan was partially
			empathic...

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT THREE 31.

38   CONTINUED:

					BEVERLY
			Maybe you were seeing through his
			eyes?

					TROI
			It's a possibility... but I don't
			understand how it could have
			happened.

	No one has an explanation for this mystery.

					PICARD
			Let's put that question aside for
			a moment and assume that by some
			unexplained phenomenon, you
			witnessed an event that may have
			involved Lieutenant Kwan.
				(to Troi)
			The faces you saw -- did you
			recognize them?

					TROI
			I don't think I've ever seen the
			woman before, or the man who was
			with her. But there was someone
			else there. A man... he was
			staring at me in the most peculiar
			way. I think he had... reddish
			hair. He seemed familiar to me...
			but it's all so hazy, like trying
			to remember a dream.

					PICARD
			The woman seemed terrified of
			something... then you saw her
			again, laughing -- presumably at
			Lieutenant Kwan.

					BEVERLY
			What could it all mean?

					TROI
			I don't know. But something
			terrible happened in that room.
			I felt it.

	Troi acknowledges the possibility.

					PICARD
			Counselor... I want you to look
			over the personnel files from
			Utopia Planitia and see if you can
			identify the faces you saw.

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT THREE   32.

38   CONTINUED: (2)

					TROI
			If only there were some way I
			could go back to the control room
			and not be overwhelmed by the
			experience -- it might help me
			remember some detail that could be
			relevant.

	Beverly considers for a beat.

					BEVERLY
			I could give you an inhibitor that
			would slow your brain's production
			of psilosynine. That would
			probably suppress your empathic
			abilities enough to make the
			experience manageable.

					TROI
			I'd like to try.

	Picard considers for a beat.

					PICARD
			Very well, Counselor.

					BEVERLY
			It'll take about sixteen hours to
			synthesize the inhibitor.

	Picard stands and the meeting breaks up.

39   INT. BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Troi is working at an aft science station, looking
	through pictures of Starfleet personnel. She's clearly
	been at it for some time now. Data has the bridge, and
	N.D.s man the various stations.

	Worf ENTERS from the Turbolift and she glances up at
	him when he approaches.

					WORF
			I apologize for being late. The
			viral medicines we are
			transporting to Barson Two require
			special security measures to
			insure they are properly
			contained.

	Troi acknowledges.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Have you found anything?

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT THREE   33.

39   CONTINUED:

					TROI
			No... there were literally
			thousands of people involved in
			building the Enterprise.

					WORF
			Perhaps if you found a way to
			narrow the search parameters.

					TROI
			I think I have. The man who
			seemed familiar to me may have
			been on board the Enterprise
			during the last seven years. I've
			asked the computer to limit its
			search to personnel who've served
			at Utopia Planitia and on the
			ship.

	Worf acknowledges and they turn their attention to the
	console. Troi works the panel and responds to the FACE
	that she sees on it.

					TROI
			Ensign Salvatore... he transferred
			off the Enterprise last year.

	She works the control again and sees another face.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Lieutenant Ziff... she's in
			quantum mechanics.

	She works the controls and reacts to the next face that
	APPEARS on the monitor -- it's the man she saw staring
	at her, LIEUTENANT WALTER PIERCE.

					TROI
			That's him.

					WORF
				(off monitor)
			Lieutenant Walter Pierce...

42   INT. ENGINEERING

	where Troi and Worf are talking with PIERCE. He's
	human, in his mid-thirties, with reddish hair and
	piercing eyes. He wears a gold Engineering uniform.

					WORF
			You were Lieutenant Kwan's
			supervisor at Utopia Planitia.

					PIERCE
			That's right. I was sorry to hear
			what happened...

	Pierce seems sincere about this.

					TROI
			Did you spend time in the nacelle
			control room while it was under
			construction?

					PIERCE
			I worked all over the ship. In
			fact, I remember running a power
			conduit right behind that wall
			there.

	He gestures to a wall and smiles.

					TROI
			Were you ever in the nacelle room
			at the same time as Lieutenant
			Kwan?

	This strikes Pierce as a slightly odd question; he
	considers a beat before answering.

					PIERCE
			It was a long time ago... people
			were working all over the place.

					WORF
			So you do not remember?

					PIERCE
			I'm sorry, I don't.

	Troi studies his face for a beat, as if gauging whether
	or not he's telling the truth.

					TROI
			Do you recall if anything...
			unusual happened there?

					PIERCE
			How do you mean?

					TROI
			An altercation, perhaps. Possibly
			involving Lieutenant Kwan.

	Troi watches his face carefully as he replies.

					PIERCE
			No... nothing like that. The way
			I remember it, things went pretty
			smoothly.

	Worf and Troi take this in.

					PIERCE
				(continuing)
			What's this all about? If you
			don't mind my asking.

					TROI
			Not at all. You see, when I went
			into the nacelle room, I had an...
			empathic experience.

					WORF
			We believe she may have been
			seeing some event that occurred
			there eight years ago.

	Pierce can't quite hide the fact that this all sounds
	a little improbable to him.

					TROI
			And -- I saw you there.

	Troi watches his face for a reaction -- but he doesn't
	give anything away.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Do you have any idea why that
			might be?

					PIERCE
			I'm afraid I don't.

					TROI
			Lieutenant... you're probably
			aware that I can sense whether
			someone's telling the truth.

	What she's implying is clear to Pierce.

					PIERCE
			I've heard that.

					TROI
			I'm sure, then, that if you were
			to... remember anything that might
			be relevant to our investigation,
			you'd contact me.

					PIERCE
			Of course.

					TROI
			Thank you, Lieutenant.

					PIERCE
			Counselor...

	Troi and Worf EXIT...

42A  INT. CORRIDOR

	as they move down it.

					TROI
			The strange thing is I couldn't
			read him at all.

	Worf is surprised to hear this.

					WORF
			But you implied that you could...

	Troi shoots him a look that makes him realize she was
	bluffing.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT THREE 37.

42A  CONTINUED:

					WORF
			We have played poker together many
			times. I have never known you to
			bluff.

					TROI
			Well... it wouldn't be much of a
			bluff if you knew, would it?

	Worf reacts as he considers the possibility that she's
	fooled him in the past. Troi doesn't really notice --
	her mind is working to sort everything out...

					TROI
				(continuing)
			The fact that I couldn't read him
			suggests that he has at least some
			telepathic ability...

					WORF
			But Pierce is human.

					TROI
			That's what I don't understand...

	She tries to make sense of it.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Even though I couldn't read his
			emotions, it did seem to me that
			he was... holding something back.

					WORF
			Yes. I thought so as well.

	They come to Troi's quarters and the door OPENS.

					TROI
			Maybe we should try to access the
			Engineering Logs from Utopia
			Planitia. We might find out more
			about him.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT THREE 38.

42A  CONTINUED: (2)

					WORF
			There might be something in them

	They EXIT to her quarters.

43   OMITTED

44   INT. TROI'S QUARTERS

	as they cross to her desktop COMPUTER. Troi sits and
	starts working the controls. Worf stands looking over
	her shoulder. After a moment.

					TROI
			It looks like it'll take about
			half an hour for the transmission
			to be completed.

	Worf acknowledges. He's not sure if she wants to him
	to leave, or stay and wait.

					WORF
			Perhaps we should continue in the
			morning... ?

					TROI
			It is late.

					WORF
			Yes, you must be tired.

					TROI
			A little...

	They glance at each other, neither of them is sure what
	the other wants to do. A hesitation...

					WORF
			Well. I will say good night.

	She looks as though she's going to say something, then
	holds back.

					TROI
			Good night.

	They head toward the door, stopping before it opens.

					WORF
			We should get an early start
			tomorrow.

					TROI
			Yes. We should.

   STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" 12/20/93 - ACT THREE   39.

44   CONTINUED:

	They look at each other.

					TROI
			See you in the morning...

					WORF
			Yes...

	Another look... They hold the gaze for a long moment,
	then Worf steps closer to her. Her hand reaches to
	take his... and guide it in a gentle caress across her
	cheek. He leans in to put his face in the nape of her
	neck -- the smell of her...

	Their arms encircle each other as they press their
	bodies close... he lifts her up so that her eyes are
	level with his... their faces draw close, closer --
	until their lips finally touch... as their kiss becomes
	increasingly passionate we...

45   INT. TROI'S QUARTERS - THE NEXT MORNING

	where we find Troi asleep in her bed. After a moment,
	Worf ENTERS the bedroom area, dressed in his uniform.
	He sits on the side of the bed and gently wakes her.

					WORF
			Deanna...

	Her eyes open and she smiles.

					TROI
			Hello...

					WORF
			Breakfast is ready...

					TROI
			Mmm... that sounds good...

	He starts to stand but she grabs hold of him, pulls him
	back.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			But it can wait...

	They nestle into each other's arms... both are clearly
	feeling very comfortable with each other and with what
	happened... She studies his face for a beat, smiles --

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Why didn't we do this a long time
			ago... ?

	Suddenly the COM SOUNDS.

					BEVERLY'S COM VOICE
			Crusher to Counselor Troi.

	Troi reaches and activates the COMPANEL next to her
	bed.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR 41.

45   CONTINUED:

					TROI
			Yes, Doctor.

					BEVERLY'S COM VOICE
			I've synthesized the inhibitor;
			you can come to Sickbay whenever
			you're ready.

					TROI
			Acknowledged.

	They nestle into each other's arms again. Suddenly
	Worf's combadge SOUNDS.

					BEVERLY
			Crusher to Lieutenant Worf.

	Worf and Troi exchange a look -- she couldn't possibly
	know they're together. He activates his combadge.

					WORF
			Worf, here.

					BEVERLY'S COM VOICE
			The medical supplies are ready to
			be taken to the cargo bay for
			transport.

					WORF
			I will be there shortly.

	Troi and Worf look at each other -- time to get to
	work. Off this moment...

46   INT. SICKBAY

	where Beverly is giving Troi a HYPO-SPRAY. A few N.D.s
	are working in the corner, assembling the MEDKITS for
	Barson Two.

					BEVERLY
			There... you should start feeling
			the effect immediately.

					TROI
			How completely will it suppress my
			empathic abilities?

					BEVERLY
			It's hard to say for sure... I can
			raise the dosage if you find it's
			not enough.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR 42.

46   CONTINUED:

	Troi acknowledges, hops off the bio-bed. Worf and
	Calloway ENTER in mid-conversation from another part of
	Sickbay -- both are carrying PADDS.

					WORF
			-- the cargo bay will be off-limits
			to all but medical
			personnel.

					CALLOWAY
			Thanks for your help, sir.

	She smiles, crosses toward the N.D.s working on the
	Medkits. Worf approaches Beverly and Troi. She smiles
	as if greeting him for the first time that day.

					TROI
			Good morning.

					WORF
			Counselor...

	An N.D. pulls Beverly away to look something over.

					TROI
			Data and Geordi are already in the
			nacelle room. Are you ready?

	Worf is about to answer when Calloway turns to him.

					CALLOWAY
			Excuse me, sir. About the
			quarantine field in the cargo
			bay...

					WORF
			Yes.

					CALLOWAY
			It looks like we're going to need
			a second field generator.

	Worf acknowledges.

					WORF
				(to Troi)
			I am needed here. I will join you
			as soon as I can.

	Troi would like to have him with her, but understands.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR 43.

46   CONTINUED: (2)

					TROI
			All right...

	They part ways and she crosses toward the door. She
	glances back before leaving and sees Worf approaching
	Calloway... the young Ensign smiles and hands him a
	PADD to look over... Off Troi's face as she EXITS...

47   INT. NACELLE CONTROL

	as Troi ENTERS. The plasma stream is disengaged and
	the maintenance door is open. Data is on the main
	level, scanning with a TRICORDER. Geordi is up on the
	catwalk, scanning a bulkhead with a SPECIAL DEVICE.
	NARA is manning a console.

	Troi stops when she comes in, takes a moment to gauge
	her feelings. Geordi glances toward her.

					GEORDI
			Counselor, you okay?

					TROI
			I'm fine. The inhibitor seems to
			be working.
				(beat)
			Have you found anything?

					GEORDI
			Nothing unusual.

	Troi starts looking around, to see if anything jogs her
	memory. She stops at a certain console.

					TROI
			I don't remember seeing this
			console during my empathic
			experience. Has it been here
			since the ship was built?

	Geordi and Data exchange a look --

					GEORDI
			No, we installed it about two
			years ago.

	The fact that she's right about this boosts her
	confidence. She climbs the ladder to the catwalk,
	joins Geordi near the OPENING that looks out into the
	nacelle tube.

 STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR 44.

48   GEORDI AND TROI (OPTICAL)

	we can see the injector room behind them, with the
	plasma injector jutting up from the floor, and beyond
	it, the nacelle tube itself -- running tunnel-like into
	the distance.

	Troi looks down toward the injector, remembers
	something.

					TROI
			I remember seeing some sort of
			power conduit...

48A  NEW ANGLE

	looking down into the injector room. She gestures to
	a point on the wall.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Right there.

	Geordi reacts --

					GEORDI
			The main ODN line runs right
			behind that panel... it lifts out
			so you can get to it.

	Nara realizes something...

					NARA
			Kwan was working on that conduit
			the day before he died.

	Troi reacts --

					TROI
			Can you open it?

	Geordi isn't sure why she wants to do this, but
	immediately agrees.

					GEORDI
			Sure... it'll just take a minute.

	Geordi climbs down the ladder and joins Data -- they
	EXIT through an access door on the main level that
	leads into the nacelle tube.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR    44A.

50   NEW ANGLE

	Troi watches from above as the they enter the injector
	room and cross past the injector, heading for the point
	on the wall she indicated.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/21/93 - ACT FOUR     45.

51   TROI

	as she climbs down the ladder and moves toward
	Lieutenant Nara.

					TROI
			Lieutenant... the work Lieutenant
			Kwan was doing, was it unusual in
			any way?

					NARA
			He was refitting a field coil.
			But it was probably the first time
			that particular panel's been
			opened since the ship was built.

	Troi takes this in. She heads for the access door...

52   INT. INJECTOR ROOM (OPTICAL)

	as Troi ENTERS. She looks over to see Data and Geordi
	lifting off the wall panel.

					GEORDI
			Let's set it down right here...

53   TROI

	as we hear the same distinctive JARRING SOUND and her
	head snaps back slightly --

									CUT TO:

54   TROI'S POV -- HANDHELD

	the face of the terrified woman flashes before her eyes --
	again, Troi's POV indicates that she is standing in the
	control room while it is under construction.

									CUT TO:

55   TROI

	as she snaps out of it -- disoriented...

					GEORDI'S VOICE
				(off camera)
			Counselor?

	The SOUND again and we --

									CUT TO:

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR     46.

56   TROI'S POV - HANDHELD (OPTICAL)

	Lieutenant Pierce's face -- staring at her, menacing --

									CUT TO:

57   SCENE (OPTICAL)

	as Troi snaps out of her hallucination; Geordi is
	rushing toward her --

					GEORDI
			Are you all right?

					TROI
			Something happened... when you
			took off the panel...

	She steadies herself, moves toward the exposed conduit.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			There must be something there...

	They cross toward Data, who takes out his tricorder and
	begins to scan.

					DATA
			I am picking up readings that
			indicate there is organic material
			imbedded in the wall...

					GEORDI
			Organic material?

	Geordi scans with the special device.

					GEORDI
				(continuing)
			You're right... let me reconfigure
			the emitter beam. We might be
			able to see what it is...

	Geordi works for a beat.

					GEORDI
				(continuing)
			There...

	He raises the device toward the wall. A BEAM emanates
	from the machine, bathing a section of the wall --

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR     47.

58   INSERT -- THE WALL (OPTICAL)

	where in an almost X-RAY LIKE EFFECT, we can see that
	there are bone fragments embedded in the wall behind
	the conduit. They are parts of a human skeleton -- a
	forearm and hand... part of a skull... a few ribs,
	connected to the sternum.

	Off their shocked reactions...

59   INT. SICKBAY (OPTICAL)

	where Beverly is giving Troi another suppression HYPO.
	Worf stands nearby.

					BEVERLY
			This dosage should prevent any
			further empathic flashes.

	Ensign Calloway ENTERS carrying a shallow CONTAINER in
	which the bone fragments have been placed.

					CALLOWAY
			The bone fragments are definitely
			human... I sequenced a DNA sample;
			I'll see if I can match it to
			Starfleet records.

	She and Worf move away to work at a nearby console.
	Beverly scans the fragments with a TRICORDER.

					BEVERLY
				(off tricorder)
			I'd say these fragments had been
			in the wall about seven or eight
			years.

	Troi acknowledges, but seems to be paying more
	attention to Worf and Calloway -- they're sitting side
	by side at a console, their shoulders nearly touching
	as they work the controls.

					BEVERLY
				(continuing)
			You said something happened when
			the panel was opened...

					TROI
			Yes...

	Troi is only half-listening -- she's watching Worf and
	Calloway.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR     48.

59   CONTINUED:

					BEVERLY
			I wonder if the fragments
			themselves could've somehow
			triggered your experience. I'll
			run a resonance scan, see if
			anything turns up.

					CALLOWAY
			Sir, I think we've found a
			match...

	Troi and Beverly cross to the console where they're
	working. There's a wall-panel above it, in which it's
	possible to see someone's vague outline reflected.

					WORF
			Apparently the remains are those
			of an Ensign Marla Finn --

					CALLOWAY
			I'm trying to find a picture of
			her in the records...

	She works the controls -- after a beat, some text
	APPEARS on the MONITOR, and next to it, Finn's FACE --
	it is the same terrified woman Troi saw in her empathic
	flashback, the woman she also saw in the Jefferies
	tube, with the man...

	Troi recognizes her immediately --

					TROI
			That's her. That's the woman I
			saw.

	Reactions. Beverly leans in to study the biographical
	information displayed on the screen.

					BEVERLY
			She was reported missing from
			Utopia Planitia on Stardate
			40987.2. Eight years ago...

	Reactions.

					BEVERLY
				(continuing)
			How could her body have ended up
			embedded inside a bulkhead... ?

					CALLOWAY
			Maybe there was some kind of...
			accident.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR     49.

59   CONTINUED: (2)

					WORF
			Or she was killed. And the
			murderer hid her remains.

	Troi's mind is working, trying to put it all together.

					TROI
			Something's not right... pull up
			Lieutenant Kwan's service record.

	Worf works the controls and Troi leans in to look.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			I thought so... he didn't arrive
			at the shipyard until six months
			after Finn's death.
				(beat)
			I couldn't have been seeing
			through his eyes...

					BEVERLY
			Then whose... ?

					TROI
			It had to have been someone who
			was at least partially telepathic.

					WORF
			Pierce... ?

					BEVERLY
			But you saw him there.

					TROI
			Yes, but not as clearly as I saw
			everything else... his face
			looked...

	Troi realizes --

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Like that.

	She points to her reflection in the wall panel.
	Reactions.

					BEVERLY
			A reflection...

					TROI
				(realizing)
			I was seeing through his eyes.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/20/93 - ACT FOUR    49A.

59   CONTINUED: (3)

	Everyone reacts to this --

					TROI
				(continuing)
			And Finn was trying to get away
			from him; she was afraid of him...

	That's enough for Worf.

					WORF
			I think it is time we had
			another... conversation with
			Lieutenant Pierce.

	Troi acknowledges and they start toward the door. When
	they reach it Worf stops and turns back.

59   CONTINUED: (4)

					WORF

	She turns at the sound of his voice.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Thank you for your help.

	She smiles an acknowledgment and Worf and Troi EXIT.

60   INT. CORRIDOR

	as they ENTER from Sickbay and start down it. Troi
	glances at Worf as they approach the Turbolift --
	something's on her mind.

	The lift OPENS and several N.D.s get off.

61   INT. TURBOLIFT

					WORF
			Deck ten.

	as they ENTER the empty lift. After a silent moment.

					TROI
			Worf... I want to ask you
			something...

	He turns to her.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Do you regret what happened last
			night?

	This hits Worf from out of nowhere.

					WORF
			No... of course not.

					TROI
			Are you sure? Because I don't
			want anything to jeopardize our
			friendship.

	He takes her by the shoulders, comforts her --

					WORF
			Deanna... I do not regret being
			with you.

      STAR TREK: "Eye of the Beholder" REV. 12/22/93 - ACT FOUR     51.

61   CONTINUED:

	She looks up at him, relieved by the sincerity of his
	reply.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Is something wrong?

	Her tone becomes softer, as if she's needs reassurance.

					TROI
			I just... don't feel myself.
			Maybe it's the inhibitor -- I'm so
			used to sensing what people are
			feeling... now I can't.

	He holds her for a moment.

					WORF
			Perhaps I should talk to
			Lieutenant Pierce alone.

					TROI
			That might be a good idea...

					WORF
			I will meet you in your quarters.

	She looks up at him, smiles.

					TROI
			I'll be waiting for you...

	The lift stops and the doors OPEN. Worf gives her a
	final reassuring look, then EXITS. When the door shuts
	her face falters a bit, as if she's suddenly feeling
	unsure again...

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Deck eight.

	The lift starts to move again. Off her troubled
	expression...

62   INT. TROI'S QUARTERS

	where Troi, no longer in uniform, is getting a CUP of

	On Troi as she ENTERS to find Worf and Calloway in a
	passionate embrace. They turn toward her, caught --
	Worf looks at her, not knowing what to say. Troi can't
	believe it, she's devastated, betrayed...

					TROI
			Worf...

	Calloway turns her face away to stifle a laugh, buries
	her face in Worf's chest. A smile forms on Worf's
	face, and it builds into a laugh... they're laughing at
	her -- it's eerily reminiscent of the couple Troi saw
	in the nacelle tube, and just as unsettling.

	Troi can't stand it, they're mocking her, laughing at
	her --

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Stop it --

	But they don't hear and don't care. She sees Worf's
	PHASER on a nearby chair (on which his metal chest sash
	is draped), and grabs it --

					TROI
				(continuing)
			Stop it --

	As she raises the weapon to fire, Worf reacts, moves to
	stand in front of Ensign Calloway -- the BEAM hits him
	full in the chest, sending him careening back onto the
	floor.

	When Troi sees what she's done she drops the phaser in
	horror... Calloway rushes to Worf, who is slumped
	against the wall with a nasty burn mark on his chest.

	as Troi ENTERS. The room is deserted, dark -- lit only
	by the glow of the plasma stream through the
	maintenance door.

	She looks up at it, as if drawn to its eerie glow. She
	climbs the ladder to the catwalk... approaches the
	window in the maintenance door...

	Suddenly a motor HUMS to life and the maintenance door
	starts to OPEN, seemingly of its own accord, exposing
	the PLASMA STREAM in the tube.

70   TROI (OPTICAL)

	as she stares at the coursing stream... she seems
	calmed by it...

					TROI
				(quiet)
			I know... what I have to do...

	She steps toward it... stares into the plasma for a
	moment, preparing to jump.

	Suddenly a HAND reaches into frame and grabs her by the
	shoulder --

71   NEW ANGLE -- THE ROOM

	is suddenly bright again. It's Worf, alive -- in a
	single fluid move he pulls her away from the fiery
	opening. Troi is startled to find herself in his grip.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Plasma venting system will engage
			in... seventy seconds.

					WORF
			What were you doing?

	Instead of answering, she reaches forward and touches
	his chest, where his sash is now in place -- a wave of
	relief washes over her when she realizes there's no
	phaser burn there.

	Troi is back in the uniform she was wearing in act two,
	when she and Worf came to the nacelle tube together.
	We have returned to the same point in time. Everything
	that has happened since Worf opened the maintenance
	door has been in Troi's mind.

	All that's happened from Worf's point of view is that
	he opened the door as Troi asked, then turned to find
	her standing too close to the opening.

	Troi looks up at Worf... she doesn't know how or why,
	but all that matters to her now is that he's alive...

	She crushes herself to him...

					TROI
			You're alive... you're all
			right...

	Worf doesn't know what to make of this... he holds her,
	safe in his arms... Off this moment...

72   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as it moves at impulse.

73   INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE (OPTICAL)

	Picard, Troi, Worf and Data are discussing what
	happened.

					WORF
			-- I opened the maintenance door
			at Counselor Troi's request, then
			turned and saw that she had moved
			too close to the force-field.

					TROI
			It all seemed so real to me. It's
			hard to imagine that everything I
			experienced happened in just those
			few seconds...

	Data indicates the wall MONITOR, on which are displayed
	pictures of Pierce (in an Engineering jumpsuit), the
	murdered woman, and the man Troi saw her with.

					DATA
			It appears that you were correct,
			Counselor. Lieutenant Pierce was
			partially telepathic -- his
			maternal grandmother was from
			Betazed.

					PICARD
			What else have you found?

					DATA
			According to Starfleet records,
			Pierce and the other two persons
			Counselor Troi identified were
			killed in an accidental plasma
			discharge eight years ago. Their
			bodies were never found.

					TROI
			I don't believe it was an
			accident. I think that Pierce
			found out that the other two were
			having an affair. He lost
			control... and killed them both.

	Picard and the others react.

73   CONTINUED:

					TROI
			Afterwards, he probably activated
			the plasma stream, then threw
			himself into it.

					WORF
			The plasma discharge would have
			obliterated any evidence that it
			was murder.

	Geordi ENTERS carrying a PADD. Picard looks up at him
	for a report.

73   CONTINUED: (2)

					GEORDI
			I scanned behind the panel
			Counselor Troi asked me to look
			at. I didn't find any bone
			fragments... but I did find traces
			of cellular residue. It's showing
			some kind of... empathic
			signature.

	Everyone reacts to this information. Troi considers
	for a moment.

					TROI
			It may be that when Lieutenant
			Pierce was struck by the plasma
			stream, the subspace energy
			present there imprinted his
			empathic pattern into the residue.

					GEORDI
			Kind of like a... psychic
			photograph.

73   CONTINUED: (3)

					TROI
			That's what triggered my
			hallucination... My mind must
			have taken elements from my own
			life and created a situation that
			in many ways paralleled what
			happened to Pierce.

	Troi turns to Worf.

					TROI
				(continuing)
			If you hadn't been there, I would
			have jumped... just like he did...

	Everyone considers how close they came to losing her...

									CUT TO:

73A  INT. BRIDGE

	Picard, Data and Worf cross to their posts. Troi heads
	for the Turbolift.

					WORF
			Counselor...

	She turns back.

					TROI
			Yes?

	Worf turns toward her.

					WORF
			When I pulled you away from the
			plasma stream, you seemed...
			surprised that I was alive.

	Troi would rather not get into the specifics of what
	happened.

					TROI
			Well... actually, in my
			hallucination... you were killed.

	Worf takes this in.

73A  CONTINUED:

					WORF
			May I ask by whom?

	Troi holds his look for a beat before replying.

					TROI
			You know what they say, Worf...
				(smiles)
			Hell hath no fury like a woman
			scorned...

	And with that she turns EXITS to the Turbolift, leaving
	Worf to wonder what she meant... Off his face we...

									FADE OUT.
