Storm Front , Part II ( episode ) With the unlikely help of Silik , Archer closes in on the temporal operative whose actions have altered Earth ' s past and threatened to destroy all of time . Summary . Teaser . A newsreel segment from 1944 shows Adolf Hitler as he visits a conquered New York City , getting a hero ' s parade through Times Square , touring the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building , and receiving the keys to the city . The newsreel ' s commentator reports Hitler has pledged to eradicate the " financial profiteers " that have plagued America ' s economy since the 1920s . It may be Earth , 1944 , but the timeline has been drastically changed in favor of the Nazi s that were destined to lose the planet ' s Second World War . Act One . In the swastika - draped US White House , a German general continues to discuss the Nazis ' occupation of America with Vosk , a 29th century Na ' kuhl time traveler responsible for the corruption of the timeline . The general fears an imminent counter - offensive from the American resistance , a rumor that he argues is now fact . The Na ' kuhl officer notices the general is holding an intelligence report in his hands . Vosk is offended when he learns that the Nazis have been spying on his people , including recent field tests of his squadron . In retaliation , he tells the general the Nazis will receive his squadron when he decides it is ready . Although the general retorts that Vosk ' s squadron is already prepared for deployment , the Na ' kuhl leader replies that the Nazis ' intelligence is mistaken . The general raises his voice in anger and throws the intelligence report on his desk , arguing that the Na ' kuhl have promised to defend Germany yet they continually work to stall progress . Questioning Vosk ' s loyalty , the general tells the Na ' kuhl officer that his people will not receive additional supplies until they have fulfilled their part in the alliance . Vosk imagines the devastation that the Na ' kuhl ' s weapons , such as plasma cannon s , could cause if the American resistance managed to steal them . When the Nazi general argues that Vosk ' s statements are treasonous , the Na ' kuhl officer grows tired of the Human and threatens the general ' s very existence in history . Above Earth , orbit s the planet . Aboard the starship , Alicia Travers , an inhabitant of 1940s Earth , stands alone in Ensign Patricia O ' Malley ' s quarters . As Captain Jonathan Archer enters the room , Travers looks at a picture of Ensign O ' Malley with her friends . Archer tells Travers that the Ensign died at age 26 in a battle with a hostile species . Travers is upset when she learns that war still exists in the 22nd century , but the captain adds that the Humans who reside on Earth in the future live there in peace – unfortunately , the same cannot be said about all of many species Humanity has encountered . Travers implies that she finds it hard to accept a reality that includes starships , alien s and time travelers . Archer realizes that she would more readily return to her homeworld than stay aboard " Enterprise " when it travels to the 22nd century . He offers to leave her anywhere on Earth and suggests that she may want to choose a place that the Germans have not invaded . However , Travers decides that she wants to remain in her neighborhood , where she can assist the resistance movement and help provide aid to the many people there who suffer every day under Nazi rule . The captain asks her to help him locate two of his missing crew members , Commander Tucker and Ensign Mayweather , and she promises to get the word out on the street . She appeals to Archer to destroy Berlin with " Enterprise " s weaponry , but the captain responds that he will use another way to stop the Nazi / Na ' kuhl alliance . He informs Travers that the starship ' s s are damaged , so she will have to use the vessel ' s transporter to return to Earth . Travers , with some reluctance , agrees . She wonders how the transporter works , but when Archer merely shrugs , she replies she has lost interest . On Earth , Vosk supervises a test of his temporal conduit . He agrees with one of his officers , Kraul , that the Na ' kuhl ' s prisoners , Tucker and Mayweather , are not temporal agent s . Although Vosk has arrived at that conclusion due to the level of the prisoners ' technology , he believes that their presence in 1944 is not accidental . When the temporal conduit powers up , Vosk turns his attention to the device . The test fails when there is a surge in one of the conduit ' s power modules . Vosk instructs a technician to determine the problem and orders Kraul to ensure that the prisoners receive medical attention . At first , Kraul is puzzled but he soon leaves to carry out his duties . Later , two SS agents carry Tucker and Mayweather into a small holding cell . After undergoing demanding interrogation , the Humans are exhausted . Kraul enters and tells one of the SS agents to immediately bring a doctor to the holding cell . The agent exits the room , soon followed by Kraul and the remaining SS agent . As Tucker lies on the ground alongside an unconscious Mayweather , his blurred vision clears , although he is puzzled when he sees a strange silhouette of a humanoid figure stealthily creep on the ceiling above him . Soon , Tucker recognizes the figure is a Suliban agent as it falls directly onto him . Analyzing the radio transmissions of the time , Lieutenant Reed has assembled a " working history " for their current timeline . In the captain ' s ready room , Reed informs Archer and T ' Pol that Vladimir Lenin was assassinated in 1916 , preventing the Communist revolution in Russia . Without a strong Soviet Union , Hitler concentrated his attacks on the West , conquering Belgium , France , the United Kingdom , and the Eastern USA in conquest after successive conquest . T ' Pol reminds Archer the Na ' kuhl only arrived a few years ago , leading the captain to conclude that they were not responsible for Lenin ' s assassination . She speculates the assassin may have been working for a different faction in the Temporal Cold War , as suggested by , a temporal agent who had helped the crew of " Enterprise " on several occasions . Archer speculates that this might still be indirectly related to the Na ' kuhl ' s being there ( the chicken and the egg problem ) . From the bridge , communications officer Hoshi Sato contacts Archer and tells him Vosk is hail ing the Starfleet vessel . Once the captain , T ' Pol and Reed make their way to the bridge , Archer talks with the Na ' kuhl leader . Vosk tells the Human that he wishes to discuss the condition of his prisoners in a neutral location . He urges Archer to meet him in a remote area outside New York City . Vosk notifies the captain he will have five men with him – the two prisoners and three of his own officers . Archer makes his objections clear , fearing for the safety of the prisoners and recalling that Vosk attempted to kill him two hours ago . The Na ' kuhl leader replies , " the situation has changed , " and sends " Enterprise " the coordinates of his suggested meeting place . Vosk asks Archer to be there in one hour if the captain is interested and ends his transmission . Sato ' s console signals that the ship has received Vosk ' s coordinates . Later , Archer beams down to a wooded embankment on Earth with two MACO s . The captain is puzzled that Vosk is nowhere to be seen , but a Nazi Dodge WC63 truck soon arrives on a road above the embankment . Vosk steps out of the truck with two armed SS officers and claims he is pleased to see Archer again . Act Two . Upon Archer ' s request , Vosk orders an SS officer to bring Tucker and Mayweather out of the Nazi truck . The prisoners seem puzzled to find their captain alive ; the crew of " Enterprise " believed Archer died due to the fact he was aboard the Xindi weapon when it was destroyed . When Tucker indicates that he and Mayweather have been treated harshly by their Nazi captors , Vosk apologizes . He explains his troops ' perception of Tucker and Mayweather was mistaken . Archer sends the two officers back to " Enterprise " , using a communicator to contact the ship . Once they beam up to the vessel , Vosk comments he is slightly confused . The primitive technology Archer and his officers use suggests they have not developed time travel yet , although they obviously traveled to the past because their technology is more advanced than that of the 20th century . In response , Archer reveals his crew had assistance from the future . Vosk claims he expected as much and asks what Archer knows about him . The captain is aware that Vosk is stranded in 1944 , has made a deal with the Nazis and is attempting to build a time machine with German supplies to return to the 29th century . Although Vosk ' s belief that Archer is a time traveler was mistaken , the Na ' kuhl leader has now learned that the Human is working for temporal agents . Archer explains his motive for helping them – he fears that Vosk will initiate a war that will destroy the timeline if he manages to return to the 29th century . The Na ' kuhl leader argues that Archer ' s view is biased , as he has only heard the temporal agents ' version and not the Na ' kuhl ' s . Vosk claims that the temporal agents are an oppressive faction in the Temporal Cold War that dictate their own rules to many cultures throughout history . Although Archer believes they enforce the Temporal Accord s and work to protect the timeline from alterations , Vosk disputes this , stating that they manipulate and interfere with the timeline to suit their own needs . When Vosk remarks the temporal agents have an agenda , Archer retorts that the Na ' kuhl also have a plan that they adhere to . However , Vosk answers that , unlike the temporal agents , the Na ' kuhl do not attempt to hide their intentions . He admits he does not agree with the concept of the Temporal Accords , believing that time travel is a technology that can be used to improve the cultures and societies of all species . Archer wonders about the identity of the person or people who would decide the extent of the " improvements " , but Vosk refuses to enter a philosophical debate with the captain . The Na ' kuhl leader attempts to persuade Archer by offering to send " Enterprise " back to the 22nd century , but the Captain thinks that the changes in the timeline will severely alter his own time period . However , Vosk promises to restore the timeline after the Na ' kuhl defeat the temporal agents . He adds that his people are extremely limited by the undeveloped technology on Earth and comments that the resources aboard " Enterprise " will greatly aid the Na ' kuhl in their victory against the temporal agents . Vosk urges Archer to return to his ship , reunite with Tucker and Mayweather and consider Vosk ' s offer . In " Enterprise " s sickbay , Doctor Phlox informs Archer that Commander Tucker and Ensign Mayweather are not seriously injured . As the Denobulan doctor scans Tucker , the Commander asks Archer whether he made a deal with Vosk . The captain responds that Vosk believes the crew are considering his offer . Phlox seems slightly startled as he shows the result of the scan to Archer . The captain realizes that Tucker is not who he appears to be ; a shapeshifting alien intruder has switched places with Tucker and taken the commander ' s identity . When Archer asks about what the intruder saw on Earth , the alien responds that he and Mayweather were in a large building , possibly a factory , and that the Na ' kuhl are building a large construction with help from the Germans . Phlox quietly activates a companel on a bulkhead . Mayweather tells Archer that he overheard a group of Na ' kuhl speaking about a " temporal conduit " , a device the ensign correctly suspects is a time machine . Archer notifies the two officers that Daniels transported the crew of " Enterprise " back to 1944 in an attempt to stop the Na ' kuhl from building their time machine and using it to return to their own period . Archer notices that Phlox is no longer using the companel . The captain confronts Tucker , stating that a protective energy shield around the temporal conduit is proving to be problematic . Realizing that Archer is aware of his real identity , the alien intruder struggles with the captain while still using the disguise of Commander Tucker . Mayweather seems extremely puzzled when the fight breaks out . Eventually , Archer holds the intruder tightly around the waist , but the alien uses its shapeshifting ability to slide out of Archer ' s grasp and kicks the captain against a shelving cabinet . The alien runs to a door and escapes from the confines of sickbay . However , the intruder doesn ' t manage to run far through a corridor outside before it is shot by two MACOs . Shortly after it falls face - down on the ground , Archer exits from sickbay and turns the body over . The facial features of Commander Tucker morphs into the alien ' s true identity – the Suliban agent Silik . Ensign Mayweather runs out of sickbay and is shocked to see the Suliban aboard " Enterprise " once again . In a darkened room on Earth , Alicia Travers tends to an American resistance fighter ' s injured leg . The resistance fighter , Carmine , is a gangster and Travers ' friend . His leg is in a bandage that Travers is carefully attempting to remove . When she asks who dressed the bandage , she is disappointed to hear the answer is Nicky Giorgo , a mechanic who she believes should only stick to repairing cars . Travers remarks that the injury doesn ' t look infected and Carmine adds that he could have been as badly injured as their friend , Sal . Like Carmine , Sal is also a resistance fighter and gangster . They were fleeing from Nazis when Sal was shot in the back . Travers indicates her amazement that Carmine managed to escape . Although she and Archer were with Sal and Carmine at first , they separated when the Nazis came . While Sal was injured , Archer and Travers ran into a nearby alley and Carmine stayed behind to shoot some of the Nazis . Carmine gasps in pain as Travers continues to tend to his wound . He informs her of a rumor he has heard – when the soldiers cornered Archer and Travers in the alley , they disappeared into thin air , like ghost s . In reality , they were beamed aboard " Enterprise " by the starship ' s transporter , but Travers claims that there is no truth to the rumor . Carmine reveals he didn ' t believe the rumor , but he also did not believe in " Nazi Martian s " , the term he uses for the Na ' kuhl , until he saw Ghrath , a Na ' kuhl officer . Carmine removes a communicator from one of his pockets and asks Travers what the device does . Travers is angry when she learns Carmine must have searched through her jacket to retrieve the communicator . Carmine answers that he was looking for a cigarette . When he repeats his question , Travers tells him that the device is a radio , but Carmine responds that the communicator does not look like any radio he has ever seen . Instead , he opines that it resembles a device Archer took from Ghrath in their meeting before fleeing from the Nazis . Travers grabs the communicator from Carmine and reveals that Archer gave her the device to contact him . Although Carmine inquires about Archer ' s location , Travers does not answer , even considering her long and close relationship with Carmine and the other members of the American resistance . As Carmine persists , however , Travers learns that she may have to disclose the truth about Archer and his ship that is capable of traveling to different worlds . In " Enterprise " s brig , Silik paces around his cell . Archer enters and questions the Suliban about Tucker ' s whereabouts , and about a disc Silik had that contains technical schematics of Vosk ' s facility , including the temporal conduit . Archer theorizes that Silik came to 1944 to retrieve the disc . When the Suliban refuses to answer Archer ' s questions , the captain enters Silik ' s cell . The captain knows about a man from the 28th century who the Suliban Cabal are in contact with and who occasionally lends assistance to the Cabal , such as giving them genetic improvements . However , the Suliban ' s benefactor can only project his image to the 22nd century and cannot travel there himself . Archer thinks the man requires the disk to enable him to travel into the past . The captain believes the man discovered his enemy , Daniels , was sending " Enterprise " to 1944 . According to Archer ' s theory , the man ordered Silik , a senior officer in the Cabal , to sneak aboard the starship , infiltrate Vosk ' s compound and send the disk to the future . Silik laughs at the captain ' s theory , and asks how Archer thinks the Suliban would be able to send the disk to the future . Archer suggests that Silik ' s return to " Enterprise " indicates that the Suliban needs the starship in order to complete his mission . Silik comments that he is impressed by Archer ' s theorizing , but does not reveal whether any of the Captain ' s assumptions are correct . Although Archer did not expect the Suliban to reveal the answers , Silik reminds the captain that he still does not know where Tucker is . Archer grabs Silik around the throat and forces the Suliban against a bulkhead . Archer guesses Silik abandoned Tucker inside Vosk ' s compound , and that Tucker is still there . The captain threatens Silik that he will pay the consequences if Tucker is dead . Silik judges that Archer has changed during " Enterprise " s intense search for the Xindi weapon in the Delphic Expanse . Releasing Silik , Archer states that those changes are not necessarily improvements . The captain leaves the cell while Silik stares after him . In a small , darkened service conduit in Vosk ' s compound , Tucker regains consciousness . He lies on the floor in a room that has a single door with a small window that lets in a little amount of light . A glass lamp shines from a wall near one of the many vertical pipes that line the walls . Tucker ' s hands are bound together , as are his feet . Occasionally , he hears German voices as Nazis pass the other side of the door . Using his hands , he unties the bonds at his ankles . He stands and continues to look around the room . Meanwhile , Na ' kuhl technicians work in a computer control room , preparing the temporal conduit for operation . Vosk is in contact with " Enterprise " , telling Archer that the disk contains a large amount of data from the Na ' kuhl ' s computer system . Vosk mentions that the Na ' kuhl found trace amounts of bioresidue , indicating that the thief is from the 22nd century . Archer informs Vosk the thief is Suliban and is a stowaway aboard " Enterprise " . Vosk admits that the Na ' kuhl have previously encountered the Suliban and asks to speak with the thief . Archer refuses and also reveals that his crew is analyzing the disc . Vosk demands the disc be returned and threatens the captain that a Na ' kuhl plasma cannon is currently being focused on " Enterprise " . In response , Archer announces his starship has phase cannon s aimed at Vosk ' s facility . When Vosk asks Archer to accept his offer , the captain refuses . The Na ' kuhl leader ends his transmission , angrily turns to a Na ' kuhl technician and nods . The technician interprets the gesture as an order to activate the plasma cannon . On the roof of Vosk ' s facility , the weapon , decorated with several swastikas , is raised out of the ground on a platform . It fires green bolts of plasma into the atmosphere . Aboard " Enterprise " , the bridge shudders violently and sparks fly from the tactical station . Archer orders Reed to fire back at the compound , but the shields protecting the facility remains in place . Taking heavy damage from the continual attacks , the captain instructs Mayweather to maneuver the vessel up to a higher orbit , out of range of the plasma cannon . On Earth , a Na ' kuhl technician reports this new development to Vosk . The Na ' kuhl leader turns to see Kraul , who cautions his superior that they required resources from " Enterprise " . However , Vosk answers that they will use the technology on Earth to complete their task . The Na ' kuhl leader directs Kraul to resume his duties . Vosk turns his back to the Na ' kuhl officer as Kraul walks away . On board " Enterprise " , Reed notifies Captain Archer the ship ' s engines are seriously damaged and the weapon s systems are not functioning . Archer orders Reed to begin repairs and walks over to the science station . He tells T ' Pol to examine the disc and to determine a means of disabling the shields that surround Vosk ' s facility . In the brig , Silik continues to pace to and fro . Archer enters the Suliban ' s cell , admitting he has realized that he and Silik are pursuing the same goal . Archer intends to join forces with the Suliban to kill Vosk and destroy the temporal conduit . Although Silik informs the captain that he doesn ' t care what happens to Commander Tucker , he agrees to help Archer because he wants Vosk to fail . However , Silik raises one concern he has – to enter Vosk ' s compound the first time , Silik used his genetic enhancements . Obviously , Archer does not have Silik ' s ability to alter his appearance and the captain ' s presence will mean that Silik will not be able to properly disguise himself . The captain assures the Suliban that they will find another means of entering the facility . Together , they exit Silik ' s cell . As they walk through a corridor , Silik and the captain are dressed in clothing that is typical of the time period of the 1940s . T ' Pol shows Archer a procedure of using a console to deactivate the energy shields surrounding the Na ' kuhl facility . She notes that the data disc was extremely helpful in devising a strategy to shut down the shields , to which Silik sarcastically replies " You ' re welcome . " The captain instructs T ' Pol to destroy the facility ten minutes after the shields come off - line , to allow Archer and Silik ample time to escape . Although T ' Pol mentions that the starship ' s targeting array is not responding and opines that Tucker would be able to assist " Enterprise " , Archer responds that the crew will have to try their best with the resources available to them . In case the need arises , the captain gives T ' Pol permission to maneuver the ship extremely close to the compound and fire directly at the temporal conduit . She indicates that she understands her orders , as Archer and Silik step onto the transporter platform . T ' Pol wishes them good luck before she activates the transporter and beams Archer and Silik down to the surface of Earth . Meanwhile , in Vosk ' s office , the Na ' kuhl leader sits at his desk and analyzes several papers as Kraul stands at his side . The German general approaches the desk and reports three divisions of American forces have crossed the Ohio River and two American divisions are advancing from the south towards Washington – the American forces have initiated their counter - offensive . Hitler has ordered Vosk ' s squadron to immediately be transferred to Luftwaffe regional command . The general seems pleased to announce that he has been given responsibility of the squadron ' s deployment . As he stands , Vosk argues that his squadron consists of weapons too complex to be operated by untrained officers . Pressed by the general to transfer the squadron , Vosk demands six hours to prepare the airplanes that will transport the weapons . The German general leaves , frustrated at the delay . After the general has exited the room , Vosk notifies Kraul that he plans to activate the temporal conduit before six hours have passed , returning to the 29th century and leaving the timeline corrupted forever . Kraul reminds Vosk that the Na ' kuhl have experienced trouble in their attempts to open a stable conduit , but Vosk replies it is their destiny to return to their own time period . In the dark service conduit where Tucker is imprisoned , he has managed to loop his bound arms around an exposed pipe in the room and is busy climbing up it . Near the top , he kicks and breaks a small lamp , plunging the room into an even deeper darkness . Tucker clambers back to the ground and starts to use a shard of glass from the broken lamp to slice through the bonds around his wrists . Act Three . Silik , who now appears Human , follows Archer through the darkened streets of New York City at night . When they hear gunfire from somewhere nearby , they quietly hurry away from the noise . As they walk , the Suliban indicates he was surprised at the aggressive behavior of 20th century Humans when he arrived on Earth . He explains that he believed every Human was as peaceful as the crew of " Enterprise " , the only Humans he had encountered before coming to Earth of 1944 . Still , even in the 22nd century , Silik believes that Humans are capable of taking action when it is required of them . He believes Archer ' s handling of the Xindi threat is an example and the reason that Daniels chose the captain to stop Vosk . Archer and Silik hide in a doorway as a Nazi truck passes . Waiting until the truck has disappeared from sight , Archer wonders why Vosk and Silik have never formed an alliance to defeat Daniels . However , Silik replies the Na ' kuhl leader only cares about his own people and would never join forces with another species , as he considers them inferior . Silik tells Archer the Na ' kuhl once traveled to the past and attempted to prevent the Suliban from becoming sentient , but the temporal agents allied with Daniels prevented the eradication of Silik ' s people . Silik and Archer continue on their way . Although Archer is surprised that the Suliban owe Daniels and his allies for saving them , Silik states the two factions will always be enemies . Archer and the Suliban stop when they see several men in the dark . As Silik and the captain approach the men , Archer tells them that they are looking for Alicia Travers . From behind the men , Travers and Carmine walk towards their visitors . Alicia comments that Archer " just missed Billie Holiday " and Carmine asks if the Captain is still hunting Martians or if he is now searching for the Loch Ness monster . Aboard " Enterprise " , the crew learn of the American counter - attack . Hoshi Sato tels T ' Pol that she is detecting many orders being issued over radio , in both English and German voices . From his station , Lieutenant Reed reports heavy bombing , primarily focused on Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern Virginia . He suspects the fighting may be an allied attack and tells T ' Pol that the bombs are being dropped too far from New York City to harm Captain Archer . Left in command of the ship , the Vulcan plans to join the battle . However , " Enterprise " is heavily damaged and the targeting array is useless , meaning that Reed will not be able to aim at anything . On Earth , Archer is telling Carmine he intends to destroy Vosk ' s compound . He explains that the Nazis are using the facility to build weapons of mass destruction . Carmine relates to Archer that Travers informed him of the captain ' s true identity and told him that " Enterprise " is also equipped with powerful armaments . He adds that he found the information hard to believe . Giving Archer his complete attention , Silik wonders why he and the captain need the 20th century Humans when he can ' t understand how they will help to destroy Vosk . Insulted by Silik ' s remarks , Carmine threatens to punch him , but Archer and Travers are able to break up the argument . Carmine is reluctant to assist Archer after seeing how Sal was so badly injured helping him . Travers confirms she will help Archer and tells Carmine the only decision he has to make now is whether to help her . Facing the temporal conduit , Na ' kuhl scientist s and officers observe Vosk as he makes a speech . He quotes the greatest Na ' kuhl scientist to ever live and promises that his people will soon make their journey back to the 29th century . Meanwhile , an American automobile rams through the front security gate of Vosk ' s compound . As the car comes to a halt , Nazi officers take their positions . They start to fire their weapons as Carmine and another gangster step out of the vehicle . As the battle continues , Archer and Silik make their way down a nearby alley . Using a phase - pistol , Archer shoots the guards they encounter on their way . When they reach the end of the alley , they come to a door that can only be opened from the other side . Silik uses his biological enhancements to slip through a narrow grating next to the door . When the Suliban is completely on the other side , Archer moves to peer through the grating . Elsewhere , the battle between the gangsters and the Nazis is going badly . Carmine orders a retreat , outnumbered by the Nazi soldiers , but the gangster is relieved when a second car arrives , providing valuable reinforcements . When Travers exits the vehicle , Carmine mentions he is pleased to see her . Travers acknowledges Carmine ' s remark and joins the fight against the Nazis . Outside the entrance to Vosk ' s compound , Archer regains his breath . The door opens and Silik motions the captain to enter the building . Archer moves quickly inside and quietly closes the door . Meanwhile , Kraul reports the battle to Vosk , commenting that the Nazis are unsure of how many Americans are attacking the compound . Vosk remarks the incident is fortunate for the Na ' kuhl . He instructs Kraul to ignore the American insurgents , as the Germans will deal with the threat , and to continue preparing the temporal conduit . In a corridor inside the building , Archer contacts " Enterprise " , notifying T ' Pol that he and Silik have gained access to the facility . He adds that they are moving towards the console that will bring down the shields surrounding the compound . The captain hears T ' Pol state that " Enterprise " s targeting array is still not functional , making it necessary for the starship to move further into Earth ' s atmosphere . When she asks Archer if he and Silik have managed to find Tucker , the captain replies negatively but assures her that they mean to locate him after they deactivate the shields . Archer ends the transmission as he and Silik reach the console . The Suliban moves to a corner to watch for approaching guards as Archer begins his work . Soon , however , Silik runs back to the captain and tells him to hide . Na ' kuhl technicians walk past without detecting their presence , but as he stands , Silik hears the temporal conduit being activated . He turns his attention to Archer and tells the captain to work quickly . Reading from a scanner , the captain types a sequence of keys on the console . When he has finished his work , he deactivates the scanner . However , he and Silik are shocked when they hear alarms sound overhead . Aboard " Enterprise " , Reed informs T ' Pol that Archer was successful . The Vulcan orders Ensign Mayweather to break orbit of Earth and maneuver the ship closer to the planet ' s surface . In Vosk ' s facility , two Nazi guards have been alerted to the presence of intruders . They fire machine - guns at Archer and Silik , who hide behind barrels . The captain waits for the right time before he peers around the barrels and shoots one of the guards with his phase - pistol . The Nazi officer falls to the ground , but the remaining guard continues his attack . Aboard " Enterprise " , the senior officers wait as the bridge shudders around them . Above a layer of cloud , the spacecraft heads towards the light of Earth ' s sun , Sol , slowly descending through the atmosphere of the Minshara class planet . Act Four . As Archer continues to defend himself and Silik behind a group of barrels in Vosk ' s compound , the Suliban asks for a weapon . The captain responds that he only has one weapon – the phase - pistol he is already using . Paying close attention to the two Nazi officers shooting at him , Archer loses track of Silik . However , the Suliban soon jumps from the top of the barrels and expertly attacks the Nazis . Believing that the two soldiers are dead , Silik walks back to Archer , but another Nazi enters from an open door directly behind Silik and shoots him twice in the back . The Suliban falls to the ground , experiencing intense agony . Although Archer shoots the Nazi in return , Silik is seriously wounded and lies on the ground , breathing heavily as he resumes his Suliban appearance . In another room of the compound , Kraul informs his leader that " Enterprise " has entered Earth ' s atmosphere . Vosk permits the officer to use the plasma cannon , but the weapon would need too much power to be operated . Vosk then gives the order to send his squadron of airplane s to destroy the starship , but the German general immediately enters with two Nazi guards . The general refuses to allow the squadron to be deployed , arguing that the planes are to be transferred to the front line . Although Vosk instructs the General to follow his commands , the German officer still ignores his orders . When the general relieves Vosk of command of the facility , the Na ' kuhl leader shoots the Nazi . The general ' s two guards attempt to fire their own weapons , but they are killed by a Na ' kuhl officer before they succeed . On the ground in front of Vosk , the general groans in pain . The Na ' kuhl leader apologizes for having to end their alliance and kills the German general . Meanwhile , Archer desperately struggles to contact " Enterprise " . Silik , who remains on the ground , believes the starship can ' t receive the captain ' s signal due to the ion ization in the atmosphere . Archer ensures the Suliban they will find a way out of Vosk ' s facility together , but Silik doubts the captain ' s sentiment is likely . The Suliban chokes and states that Archer has been " a worthy opponent " . As he continues to suffer in pain , Silik tells the captain he would have preferred to have died in battle with Archer , but as he must concede to the reality of his actual death , fighting at Archer ' s side was an acceptable alternative . Silik ' s entire body then freezes . For a moment , Archer rests a hand on the Suliban ' s shoulder before he hurries to escape Vosk ' s compound . He stops running when he sees Commander Tucker , who promptly points a gun in his face . At first , Archer is mystified , but when an enraged Tucker threatens " Silik " with dire consequences should he keep up this disguise , the captain responds that this is not a good idea , and upon looking over and seeing the Suliban ' s dead body , the commander ' s anger turns to amazement as it dawns on him that Archer truly is alive . In disbelief , Tucker stumbles forward to embrace Archer , who tells the commander that the building is about to explode and leads him out of Vosk ' s facility . On " Enterprise " s bridge , Lieutenant Reed notifies T ' Pol that the vessel is 100 kilometer s from the Na ' kuhl compound . With the targeting scanner s continuing to malfunction , Reed activates his station ' s visual scanner s . T ' Pol instructs Mayweather to decrease the craft ' s velocity to 200 kph . When a console at Reed ' s station begins to signal , the lieutenant informs T ' Pol that a group of aircraft are approaching from a base north of New York City . Outside Vosk ' s compound , the American resistance fighters are still shooting at Nazis . When Carmine notices Archer and Tucker attempting to escape from the building , he tells a gangster called Nicky to shield the Starfleet officers from harm until they are safe . Nicky runs forward and shoots at the Nazis until Archer and Tucker can get past . With Archer safely behind one of the automobiles , the captain advises Carmine to order a retreat , but the gangster claims he is " having too much fun " – however , when Archer informs Carmine that the destruction of the building is imminent and they should get to safety , Carmine pays attention to the captain ' s words and directs the gangsters to withdraw from the battle . Together with Carmine and the resistance fighters , Archer runs to the back of the car farthest away from the Nazis . There , the Starfleet captain says goodbye to Alicia Travers for the second time . He promises he will try to reset the timeline to the way things were for Alicia , living in her old neighborhood with her husband . When Archer thanks Travers , Carmine attracts the captain ' s attention and indicates he is happy to help . The captain gazes up at Carmine and smiles . Suddenly , a squadron of planes passes high in the sky directly above them . Aboard " Enterprise " , Reed identifies the planes as German Stuka s . The lieutenant recalls that the planes don ' t pose much of a threat and are fitted with sirens intended to frighten the enemy during an assault . When Reed seems to become too engrossed in the fact that the planes fire 7 . 92 - millimeter rounds , T ' Pol draws the lieutenant ' s attention back to reality . Reed tells the Vulcan that Vosk ' s facility is still too far away from " Enterprise " for him to target it . However , in the skies above Manhattan , the German dive - bombers begin to attack " Enterprise " using Na ' kuhl technology . Following several explosions on the bridge of the Starfleet ship , T ' Pol concludes that the planes seem to be equipped with more highly - advanced weaponry than simple bullets and sirens . Captain Archer enters from a turbolift and gives Reed a command to ready photonic torpedo es . On Earth , the temporal conduit ' s internal machinery pulses like a warp core . In the control room , Vosk watches his time machine stabilize . Kraul notes that the temporal conduit is holding . At the science station on " Enterprise " s bridge , T ' Pol detects a massive power surge emanating from the interior of Vosk ' s compound . Archer grows impatient , interpreting the surge as an indication that the temporal conduit is active , but Reed reports that " Enterprise " is still one kilometer away from the facility . Meanwhile , the battle rages between the starship and German Stukas . On Earth , Vosk approaches the temporal conduit , uttering a single word – " Destiny " . Aboard " Enterprise " , Reed targets the facility and Archer orders him to destroy it . Above the New York skyline , the starship swoops down and fires three torpedoes at Vosk ' s compound , causing the building to explode . The Na ' kuhl shouts as his face becomes distorted in the temporal conduit . On an ethereal plane of intangible existence , Archer finds himself next to Daniels . They witness the timeline untangling and righting itself . , who is obviously very pleased with the captain ' s accomplishments , tells him that Vosk is dead . Archer has prevented the Temporal Cold War from turning hot , thereby restoring the timeline , even reversing the recent death of Daniels himself and ending the war for good . At Archer ' s request , the temporal agent agrees that he will never visit " Enterprise " again . Daniels thanks Archer . He tells him it has been a privilege to know him and says goodbye to the Starfleet captain , who suddenly finds himself on the bridge of his starship . Communications officer Hoshi Sato picks up signals from the Lunar One Colony and multiple orbital platforms , indicating that " Enterprise " is indeed in the right time , as well as in the right place . A makeshift armada of vessels ( Earth Vessels , and Vulcans ) rushes out to greet " Enterprise " , swooping protectively around her , surrounding the battered but unbeaten ship in a victory formation as they head home to an ever - grateful Earth . Memorable quotes . " " You are a fool . You think we ' re equals because I allow you to participate in this struggle . You fight to control nations – we dominate entire worlds . . . we extend our will across time . If your race were to endure for a million years , you couldn ' t begin to approach what we ' ve accomplished . The next time you feel the urge to threaten me , remember this : I can erase you from history as if you never existed . " " " " There ' s still war in the future ? " " " " On Earth , between Human beings , war has been eliminated . But the galaxy ' s a big place , with thousands of species – not all of them have the same values we have . " " " " How does that thing work , anyway ? On second thought I ' d . . . I ' d rather not know . " " " " I think I ' ve pinpointed where the timeline changed . Someone assassinated Lenin in 1916 . " " " " Who took his place ? " " " " No one . So without Lenin , the Bolsheviks never gained power , Russia didn ' t become communist , and Germany never considered it a threat . " " " " Hitler was able to concentrate on the West . " " " " Yeah . After France , Belgium and the Netherlands fell . Hitler quickly took England , and then the eastern United States . " " " " You don ' t have the answers you ' re seeking – the whereabouts of your missing crewman . " " ( Archer grabs Silik by the throat and shoves him against the wall ) " " I think you left him somewhere inside Vosk ' s compound – and for your sake , he better be alive . " " " " You ' ve changed , captain . " " " " And none at all for the better . " " " " From my dealings with you and your crew , I ' d come to believe your race was inherently " . . . unagressive . " " " We ' ve come a long way in a short time . " " " " One thing is clear , when necessary Humans are fully capable of reverting to old methods . The way you handled the Xindi threat was extremely effective . No doubt , it ' s the reason why Daniels chose you to stop Vosk . " " " " What are we going after this time , the Loch Ness monster ? " " " " Our greatest scientist once said : ' Every moment we live , we are moving through time . ' We ' ve earned the right to choose which direction . The mastery of time has allowed us to perfect ourselves , to reach our full potential as a people , and to vanquish those who oppose us . There ' s just one last enemy to deal with . Soon , history will belong to us . We will stretch out our hands and mold it according to our will . Not even the gods of our ancestors could have imagined . . . such power . My brothers , we are going . . . " home . " " " What a way to spend a Saturday night ! " " " " Do we really need these people ? " " " " What do you mean , ' these people ' ? " " " " I don ' t see how they can be of any use to us . " " " " I ' ll tell you how I could be of use to you . How about I start removing your teeth with my knuckles ? " " " " Are you threatening me ? " " " " Hey , give the man a prize ! " " " " Why would you do that ? " " " " I ' m gonna kill this guy ! " " " " I am taking command of this facility . You are relieved . ' " " " " I ' m sorry general , but I ' m afraid I have to end our alliance . " " " " You ' ve proven a worthy opponent , captain . I would ' ve preferred to die fighting you , but I suppose I can settle for this . " " " " Trip ! " " " " Hold it . . . right there . " " " " Trip , it ' s me . " " " Shut up ! " Drop the disguise , Silik , or I ' ll blow your ugly head off ! " " " " If you do , you ' ll . . . probably regret it . " " ( Seeing Silik ' s body lying on the ground , Tucker begins to realize who he ' s " actually " pointing the gun at ) " " Captain ? ! " " " " Good to see you , commander . " " " " You ' re alive ? " " " " As long as you don ' t pull that trigger . " " " " I . . . I can ' t . . . I can ' t believe it ! " " ( Tucker moves to embrace Archer ) " " The building ' s about to blow up . " " " " Gotcha . " " " " Destiny ! " " " " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! " " " " It ' s quite a sight . The timeline ' s resetting itself . You did it . Vosk is dead . He didn ' t make it back . All the damage he caused , it never happened . " " " " And you ' re here to give me a pat on the back . " " " " In a way . " " " " Well , I don ' t want it . I want you to leave me and my crew alone . We ' re done with you and your damn Temporal Cold War . " " " " It ' s coming to an end because of what you did . You have no idea how many lives you ' ve saved . " " " " I ' ll take your word for it . Just send us home . " " " " It ' s almost ready . Goodbye , Jonathan . Captain . It ' s been a privilege . " " " " I ' m picking up vessels approaching . . . dozens of them . " " " " Do they look friendly ? " " Background information . Production timeline .
