Sleeping Dogs ( episode ) While exploring a gas giant , " Enterprise " finds the wreck of a Klingon scoutship sinking into the atmosphere . Summary . Teaser . Hoshi Sato is performing combat training with Malcolm Reed in the armory . She ' s having trouble adjusting to the new phase - pistol , which doesn ' t need compensation for particle drift , as the older EM - 33 does . Her practice is interrupted as the ship drops out of warp to survey a class 9 gas giant . Act One . After launching a probe , detects siren sounds and other radiation . They also discover a damaged ship sinking into the atmosphere with some bio - signs on board . Malcolm , one of the members selected to investigate the vessel , visits Phlox to see about some kind of treatment for a cold he has picked up . In the meantime , Sato visits Captain Archer to request to be added to the team . She gives several arguments as to why she should be added . Archer agrees that they are valid reasons , and says that T ' Pol had already requested that Sato be added to the team . After suiting up and taking a , Sato , Reed , and T ' Pol enter the atmosphere . Due to the rate at which the ship is descending , they will only have an hour to investigate the vessel . After detecting a breathable atmosphere , the crew removes their helmets . Sato remarks that Reed is lucky to have a cold and be unable to smell the stench in the vessel . They soon discover that this is a Klingon ship , a class never encountered by Human s or T ' Pol before . They find some of the crew unconscious on the bridge . There is a debate about whether they should rescue the crew or not . Reed argues that they shouldn ' t let them die , but T ' Pol explains that dying at their posts is exactly what they would want – and that they would kill the Humans if they found them on board . The team signals " Enterprise " and details the situation . The crew has been incapacitated due to some kind of airborne neurotoxin . While this is happening , a Klingon female approaches the bridge and spies the away team . She moves quickly away from them , with Reed pursuing . She surprises him and knocks him down , then dives into the airlock and takes the shuttlepod just as T ' Pol and Sato arrive . The away team is now stuck on a damaged Klingon vessel , surrounded by potentially dangerous enemies , and sinking into the core of the gas giant . Act Two . Back on board " Enterprise " , they are surprised as the shuttlepod flies past them into open space . The Klingon starts sending out a com signal which they are able to translate as a signal for any available warships to come and attack " Enterprise " , who the female believes has attacked . After grappling the shuttlepod back into their docking bay , they subdue the Klingon with their phase - pistol s , though it takes two shots to do so . Archer makes the decision to take " Enterprise " into the atmosphere to rescue the away team . Back on the Klingon vessel , the away team has the problem of decrypting the control panels and discovering a way of pilot ing the ship out of the gas giant , since there are probably no escape pod s . Sato manages to translate some of the consoles , including the weapon s panel ( which includes photon torpedo es , something Reed has never heard of ) . " Enterprise " contacts the away team to inform them that they are attempting a rescue . The attempt is very quickly aborted , as a probe launched by " Enterprise " s is destroyed by a wave of pressure which begins to affect " Enterprise " itself , pushing its hull plating past the maximum pressure it can sustain . Archer informs the away team that they will attempt another rescue later . Act Three . In the medical bay , Phlox briefs the captain on the situation . The reason the Klingon female had not lost consciousness is that she hid in a low - temperature environment , slowing the effects of the toxin . But like the rest of the Klingon crew still trapped on their own ship , if she is not treated , it will kill her . Archer tries to talk to the Klingon , but is rebuffed . After researching the Vulcan database , Travis Mayweather determines that the Klingon vessel is a scout vessel . It is very well designed , with a tough hull , and coherent molecular alloy reinforcement . suggests a possible way to reinforce a shuttlepod to allow them to reach the vessel . With apparently no help coming from the Klingon , Archer orders Tucker to proceed . Sato , Reed , and T ' Pol discover the Klingon crew logs , which reveal that after a raid on a Xarantine outpost , the crew had fallen ill . They also discover what ' s wrong with the Klingon ship ' s engines . They go down to the engine room to find the port fusion injector , which is malfunctioning . On " Enterprise " working on the shuttle , Archer discusses the situation with Tucker . He feels he ' s made a tactical error in talking with the Klingon woman by asking for her help . He felt she saw it as a sign of weakness . They discuss why the Klingons are always so determined to destroy the Humans when they meet them . It appears he needs to think like a Klingon to get through to her . On board the Klingon vessel , Reed complains that he feels light - headed . T ' Pol remarks that he is dehydrated , and suggests he drink some water . Sato and T ' Pol set out for the galley in blue sector . When they get to it , they find it to be very different from what they were expecting . Sato is disturbed by the food , notably the " gagh " and live targ s that the Klingons keep as food . T ' Pol notes that the Klingons prefer freshly slaughtered food . Sato has a minor anxiety attack , T ' Pol then takes Sato ' s hand and with what is implied to be a mild telepathic suggestion , helps Sato with a visualization exercise to help calm her anxiety . She promises to teach Sato how to do it by herself once they are back on " Enterprise " . Just as T ' Pol finishes saying this , the vessel begins to experience hull integrity failure . Act Four . With the away team assembled in engineering , Reed explains his new plan . He intends to use the weapons systems to help get them up and out of the atmosphere . Tucker updates Archer on the status of the modifications to the shuttlepod . Archer updates Tucker on his research into the Klingon society , and the importance " honor " in Klingon life – and death . With this improved understanding of the race , Archer returns to the medical bay to talk to the Klingon . Phlox has developed a cure for the toxin . Archer explains the situation to the female , notably that the toxin comes from Xarantine ale . The female reveals that they had indeed attacked an outpost and consumed the ale they captured . Telling her that without her help , the Klingon crew would all die dishonorable deaths , Archer convinces her to help in the rescue . On the Klingon vessel , the away team has begun firing photon torpedoes into the atmosphere to raise their altitude . They manage to raise the vessel enough to allow the " Enterprise " shuttlepod , carrying Archer and the Klingon , to dock . After the two enter through the airlock , Archer introduces the Klingon as officer Bu ' kaH . He hails " Enterprise " from the just as two more Klingon vessels come into sensor range . As Archer retakes his command chair from Tucker , the " Somraw " hails them again and demands that " Enterprise " surrender . Archer calls the captain ' s bluff and demands that the Klingon vessel stand down or be destroyed . Archer orders the ship away before the reinforcements arrive . In the decon chamber , the away team takes a much - needed break , relaxing in the warmth of the UV radiation . When Phlox tells them that they are ready to leave the chamber , they ask to be scanned again , just to make sure they didn ' t pick anything up . Reluctantly agreeing , Phlox closes the com channel . Sato and Reed both comments about how enjoyable the chamber is . T ' Pol agrees , remarking that the chamber is pleasant . Extended scene . For this episode , there is an extended scene that can be found on the ENT Season 1 DVD . Scene 43 , 44 . As in the aired version of the episode , Archer and Tucker talk while they do some welding inside a shuttlepod . Archer admits that he may have made an error asking Bu ' kaH for assistance and decides to appeal to her Klingon way of thinking . This version of the scene ends with Doctor Phlox contacting Archer with news that he has discovered a cure for Bu ' kaH , although there is also an " interesting wrinkle " that he would like to discuss with the captain . Memorable quotes . " " It gave me nightmares sometimes . " " " " Other than keeping Ensign Mayweather up at night , I ' m not sure what we expect to accomplish here . " " " " We can travel faster than the speed of light . You think we could find a cure for the common cold ! " " " " Well , you won ' t be contagious inside an environment suit , just . . . try not to sneeze in your helmet . " " " " You can ' t smell that ? " " " " No . This damn cold . " " " " Count your blessings . " " " " You know , I read if they sense a leader ' s weak they ' ll try to kill him and take command . " " " " Remind me to stop trying to help people . " " " " Ah , the one time we need our chief engineer is the one time we leave him behind . " " " " It ' s called " gagh " . It ' s a Klingon delicacy , but only when they ' re alive . " " " " They look like worms . " " " " They " are " worms . " " " " You ' re in a dangerous situation in an alien environment . Your anxiety is understandable . " " " " Don ' t you mean ' for a Human ' ? " " " " You can ' t deny your nature . " " " " I decided to take your advice about thinking like a Klingon . The Vulcan database has about 900 pages on them . " " " " Learn anything ? " " " " Plenty . They ' re driven by a warrior mentality . They tend to view anyone they meet as a potential enemy . " " " " That may explain why our guest is so irritable . " " " " This was your plan ? To grope around in the darkness and hope to stumble upon my ship ? " " " " That ' s how we found it the first time . " " " " I kept your seat warm for you . " " " " You wouldn ' t last ten seconds in a battle with us . You ' ve got multiple hull breaches , your shields are down , and from what I ' m told , you ' re fresh out of torpedoes . If I were you , I ' d take what little honor I had left and go home . Fire one shot , and I ' ll blast you right back to where we found you . " " " " Oh , it certainly feels nice to be clean again . " " " " It is . . . pleasant . " " " " Do you smell that ? " " " " I don ' t smell anything . " " " " Exactly . " " Links and references .
