Canamar ( episode ) Archer and Tucker are mistakenly arrested and placed on a prison ship bound for the infamous penal colony of Canamar . Summary . Teaser . The crew of finds " " , dead in space and without main power . There are no life sign s . Act One . Playing back the Captain ' s log , they hear Captain Jonathan Archer describe a successful first contact with the Enolian s . Another log describes a sport ing match . Sensor log s are badly damaged , but Doctor Phlox ' forensic analysis uncovered blood traces that matches Archer and Commander . This leads Lieutenant Malcolm Reed to conclude that the crew have been abducted . Sub - Commander T ' Pol orders a course set for Keto - Enol . Meanwhile , Tucker and Archer are shackled to benches on a ship . Archer tries to get the guard ' s attention , but the guard instead uses a device to shock Archer instead . Another prisoner , named Kuroda Lor - ehn , advises him not to ask questions , so Archer tries to ask him where they are being taken . Archer overheard them say Canamar , but doesn ' t know it . A different prisoner , named Zoumas , confirms and clarifies it is a penal colony . Tucker and Archer were accused of smuggling earlier , and realize they ' ll be tried and found guilty without a fair trial . Eventually , the prisoners are given ( barely edible ) food . Tucker makes a comment on the food and a Nausicaan prisoner behind him then demands the food . Tucker refuses and the Nausicaan stands up to fight him , only to be shocked by the guards . Tucker thanks him and gets shocked for that , too . Zoumas continues talking to Tucker , asking him what he smuggled . Tucker says they ' re innocent , but Zoumas doesn ' t believe them . After contacting the Enolian authorities , an Enolian official hears T ' Pol ' s request for information , but , as a busy trading post , they have many visitors . He nevertheless accepts a description of Archer and Tucker to see if his officers have seen them . Later , the official boards " Enterprise " and informs T ' Pol that they were caught by Enolian guards and charged with smuggling contraband . They are now on a transport ship on its way to Canamar . As soon as T ' Pol explains the situation , the official agrees to release Archer and Trip and they inform the transport crew . T ' Pol ensures the official will stay with them to ensure there are no more mistakes . On the ship , the guards are ordered to release Archer and Tucker . Unfortunately for the two " Enterprise " crewmembers , when the other prisoners hear about it , they object . One of the prisoners is able to get out of his restraint and attack the guard . He frees the Nausicaan , but no other . Act Two . The two freed criminals shackle the guard and announce for everyone to stay silent . Sounding an alarm , they draw out the other guard from the cockpit , who Lor - ehn stuns . The pilot tries to close the door , but the Nausicaan jams it , gets in and knocks him out . It appears they had a plan , part of which required the ( conscious ) pilot . When they seem to need a pilot , Archer decides to play out his smuggler role . While the Nausicaan stays in the cabin and has his way with the guards ( now in shackles ) Lor - ehn holds Archer under gun as he slowly figures out the controls . Lor - ehn directs him to a nearby binary star system , but no other information . On the way , Lor - ehn reveals he had served seven years on Canamar and he had subdermal implant s installed to depolarize triburnium alloy ( that was how he broke from his constraints ) before he left . The " Enterprise " detects the distress call , but it stopped transmitting . The Enolian official recognizes the frequency , but not the exact ship . He starts to contact Enolian patrol ship s in the area . On the transport , Zoumas becomes very excited and chatty with Tucker , talking about tojal and planning to visit a surgeon to reconstruct his face on Burala Prime , given that he is a fugitive now . Tucker isn ' t interested . Meanwhile , Lor - ehn tries to learn more about Archer . Soon , two patrol ships are in range to intercept . Act Three . Since they were found much sooner than he expected , Lor - ehn suspects Archer activated the transceiver before it was off , but Archer balks at that . Lor - ehn wants to fire their weapons , but Archer promises they ' ll be destroyed if they put up a fight . Instead , he says he has a plan , but needs Tucker to execute it . Tucker prepares to release plasma into a cloud . Lor - ehn pretends to surrender and Tucker releases the cloud and , with quick weapon fire , the ships ' propulsion systems are knocked out . Lor - ehn wants to finish the job and destroy the ships , but Archer refuses , not wanting to add murder charges to his list . With this development , the Enolian authorities have figured out Lor - ehn is involved , and they want to destroy the ship . T ' Pol objects to the official , but the official can only recommend that the " Enterprise " find the transport first . Lor - ehn is now taking a liking to Archer , having enjoyed his trick earlier . Realizing Archer ' s resourcefulness , he asks the captain to join him when they rendezvous with his friends . Archer keeps pretending and says he doesn ' t have a lot of options at the moment . Lor - ehn reveals where they are going , and that a ship is meeting them there . Later , The former prisoner then tells a little more about himself . He was fourteen when he first went to prison . The first time he was innocent , but he explains that Duronom ' s guards taught him more than his father ever could . When he was released , five years later , he put his new skills to " good " use and had a pretty interesting life since then ( and is grateful for it ) . When they arrive at their rendezvous point , Tamaal , Archer asks what the plan is . Lor - ehn tells Archer to put the ship in a decaying orbit around a planet so it will look as if the transport has merely crashed trying to land with everyone aboard . Act Four . The " Enterprise " has found the transport and is in pursuit . The Enolian official explains Tamaal is a large trading post , and easy to get lost in the crowd . Unfortunately , they can ' t use the transporter since it is heavily shielded . Soon , they detect a smaller ship with Enolian life signs , and the official confirms it isn ' t one of theirs . Meanwhile , Archer now realizes he needs to take control of the ship , since they can ' t wait for " Enterprise " . He then gets Tucker freed in order to repair the docking hatch , which had been damaged in the previous attack . There , he informs his engineer of his plan . Though Tucker is able to take out the Nausicaan , he fails to disable Lor - ehn because Zoumas shouts out a warning , not believing Tucker when he warns all the prisoners of his real plan . Lor - ehn stuns Tucker and goes back to keep Archer at bay , but Archer reminds him he needs him to fix the hatch . Tucker wakes up in shackles as Archer finishes fixing the hatch . However , when they finally dock with Kuroda ' s " friends " , there is a team from the " Enterprise " on board which emerges from the hatch and stuns Kuroda and his partner . Still in a decaying orbit , they proceed to transfer the prisoners and Enolian crew to the shuttle . Reed and team free the prisoners and they all flee to the ship while Archer keeps the ship up as long as he can . Just as everyone is to be evacuated , however , Kuroda , who recovered quickly from his stun , and Archer have a fight , ending in Kuroda ' s refusal to go with them to avoid being taken back to Canamar – he tells them he would prefer to die . Archer is forced to leave without him . Back on " Enterprise " the Enolian official apologizes to Archer , and insists on a report , but the captain is pretty acid in his remarks . He doesn ' t accept the mistake very well , and , from his new - found understanding of the Enolian penal system , he says that he wonders " how many other don ' t belong there [ on Canamar ] " . They leave the official lost for words . Memorable quotes . " " I ' d stay quiet if I were you . The guards don ' t like questions . " " " " I wouldn ' t want to be accused of smuggling . They ' ll probably make an example of you . " " " " You don ' t listen too well . " " " " Then why don ' t you save yourself the trouble and stop talking to me ? " " " " You should be careful with the Nausicaans . Nasty tempers . " " " " Thanks for the advice . " " " " You ever fly a warp ship before ? It ' s harder than you think . " " " " He ' s right . " " " " You hit the wrong control , you could overload the plasma manifolds or shut down the antimatter containment field . We ' d all end up a cloud of ionized gas . " " " " You ' re a pilot ? " " " " A damn good one . I ' m a smuggler , remember ? " " " " Is this really necessary ? I just saved your skin and you still don ' t trust me . " " ( The Nausicaan prisoner continues replacing Tucker ' s restraints . ) " " Do you know how much power flows through those plasma circuits ? " " " " How much ? " " " " A lot . I could have been electrocuted . God , the least you could do is say ' thanks ' . " " ( sardonically ) " " Thanks " . " " " That was nice . It reminds me of the time I was on . . . " " " " Shut up . " " " " We can ' t wait for " Enterprise " . We ' ve got to try to take control . Think you can handle him ? " " " " Yeah , piece of cake . " " " " Captain , my superiors will want a report on what happened . . . " " " " I ' ll give you one right now . Kuroda ' s dead , the other eleven prisoners are under guard . As you ' re aware , my engineer and I were falsely arrested . We almost wound up in Canamar ! Makes me wonder how many others " don ' t " belong there . You wanted a report ? You ' ve got one .
