Star Trek: Enterprise: Azati Prime (2004)
Season 3, Episode 18
9/10
Negotiation and Attack
3 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The Enterprise arrives in Azati Prime and finds that the location is protected by an impenetrable and complex security grid. Trip and Mayweather propose to use the Insectoid shuttle to cross the grid and investigate the exact location of the Xindi weapon. They find the compound underwater and return to the Enterprise where Archer assumes the responsibility to make a trip without return with the shuttle loaded with two torpedoes to destroy the facility. However, the time agent Daniels brings Archer to the future and tells him that the enemies of the Xindi are the trans-dimensional beings and Archer should convince the Xindi that humans are not the menace to their planet. Archer does not accept the argument, travels to Azati Prime but is captured and tortured. Without any other alternative, he manages to convince Degra and two other members of the council that he might be telling the truth, while the Enterprise is attacked by the Xindi reptiles.

The tense and dramatic "Azati Prime" is one of the best episodes of the Fourth Season, with Archer trying to negotiate with the Xindi instead of attacking. It seems that the Xindi breeds begin to understand who their real enemies are. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Azati Prime"
