Star Trek: Enterprise - 01x10 Fortunate Son

Summary: Sent by Admiral Forrest to respond to an automated distress call, Enterprise intercepts the Earth cargo freighter Fortunate and finds it badly damaged and not responding to hails. Captain Archer leads an away team to board the vessel, and they are greeted by the freighter's acting commander, first officer Matthew Ryan. Ryan informs Archer that the Fortunate was attacked by Nausicaan pirates, who have been harassing freighters in the sector for years, including the one Ensign Mayweather grew up on. Claiming the distress call was a mistake, Ryan resists Archer's overtures of help, but Dr. Phlox insists on tending to the injured captain. Once Phlox determines that Captain Keene will need two or three days of treatment, Archer talks Ryan into letting Enterprise engineers come aboard the Fortunate to upgrade its defenses. This forces Ryan and another crewman named Shaw to take special precautions to hide their secret — they have a Nausicaan prisoner on board whom they are torturing for information.

Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 10: - Fortunate Son

Ensign Travis Mayweather: Never thought I'd see a Y-class running from any ship I was on. When I was growing up on the Horizon, anything that happened on board, you handled yourself. If someone on the crew got into a fight, you just worked it out. You took care of your own. If Starfleet suddenly showed up and told my father what he could and couldn't do on his own ship...
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Things are changing. Ryan's gonna have to figure that out.
Ensign Travis Mayweather: Maybe he already has, and just doesn't like it.

Season 1 / Episode 10: - Fortunate Son

Nausicaan Captain: Our scans show you have one of our crewmen aboard. I assume you're here to return him.
First Officer Matthew Ryan: He's our prisoner.
Nausicaan Captain: He won't be for long.
