Summary: On Narendra III, Archer stands before a Klingon court magistrate and a crowd of blood-thirsty Klingons. The captain is charged with conspiring against the Klingon Empire, and will stand trial. He is banished to his cell, where Dr. Phlox pays him a visit. The doctor, who is tending to Archer under the ruse that the captain is suffering from a mysterious illness, quietly lets Archer know that T'Pol and the rest of the crew are working on a way to free their captain. As Phlox leaves, Archer meets his Klingon advocate Kolos, who warns him not to speak during the tribunal.

Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 19: - Judgment

Captain Jonathan Archer: We have a saying on Earth: you don't kick a man when he's down.
Kolos: So - are all Humans like this?
Captain Jonathan Archer: Like what? Fair?
Kolos: Stupid.

Season 2 / Episode 19: - Judgment

Kolos: My father... was a teacher; my mother, a biologist at the university. They encouraged me to take up the law. Now, all young people want to do is take up weapons, as soon as they can hold them. They're told there's honor in victory. Any victory. What honor is there in a victory over a weaker opponent? Had Duras destroyed that ship, he would've been lauded as a hero of the Empire, for murdering helpless refugees. We were a great society, not so long ago. When honor was earned through integrity and... acts of true courage. Not senseless bloodshed.
Captain Jonathan Archer: For thousands of years, my people had similar problems. We fought three world wars that almost destroyed us. Whole generations were nearly wiped out.
Kolos: What changed?
Captain Jonathan Archer: A few courageous people began to realize... they could make a difference.

TRIVIA

Captain Archer is sentenced to life in the dilithium mines of Rura Penthe. Captain Kirk was also sentenced to life at Rura Penthe years later in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
The Enterprise exchanges fire with the Kilngon ship Vor'tas, led by Captain Duras. We can assume he is an ancestor of the Duras who framed Worf's father in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
