A man from a desert planet asks Archer to help him fight a war. When Archer refuses, he and Trip must escape through the desert.
to:
They arrive in an encampment in the middle of a desert, and they talk over a (rather disgusting by human standards) meal and Zobral offers them a tapestry. Archer declines because it's too big, so Zobral gives the two human men a Suliban artifact instead. Then, they play a ballgame called Geskana.
Meanwhile, a Torothan chancellor contacts ''Enterprise'' and tells T'Pol that Zobral is a terrorist. She contacts Archer and passes on the info, so he tries to leave, but Zobral reveals that he knows about the Torothan message and convinces Archer to
The encampment is then bombed by Torothans, so Archer and Trip hide in a bunker, where Archer points out that the Suliban prisoners wouldn't be in their current situation if not for Archer's help. Trip says that this is different and they shouldn't go to war after Zoral tricked them, then a bomb collapses the bunker, so Archer and Trip decide to leave, on foot since going in the shuttlepod would risk them being detected.
On ''Enterprise'', the communication link between the ship and Archer is blocked, and the Torothans warn the crew that they'll see any attempt at rescue as an attack. Meanwhile, Archer and Trip decide to head towards an abandoned camp and shelter in there, but Trip becomes woozy from heatstroke, so Archer forces him to drink some water.
''Enterprise'' detects Zobral's shuttle, then Zobral explains that the Torothan sensors have a gap in their range that a shuttle could pass through. T'Pol convinces him to help save Archer and Trip, who then reach the abandoned camp, but there is no food and the only water is dirty. Archer lights a fire with a phaser, which he uses to boil the water (thus sterilising it, thereby making it drinkable) and decides to keep Trip awake (since him falling asleep with heatstroke could cause a coma) by talking.
T'Pol and Zobral, along with Malcolm, head out in a shuttle to save Archer and Trip, then the Torothans start bombing the abandoned camp. Luckily, however, the rescue team follows the explosions and finds them. The two men are sent back to ''Enterprise'', where Archer explains that they could have never helped Zobral in the war. T'Pol says that things such as this are the responsibility of governments rather than starship captains, and Archer agrees but thinks Zobral's cause is good.

* TheOner: When Archer is trying to keep Trip awake by talking to him, instead of cutting between the actors' faces (as is typical when filming dialogue), the camera instead keeps them both in a medium shot as Scott Bakula and Connor Trinneer deliver their lines. This scene runs for 3 minutes and 41 seconds, and does not contain a single cut; it is the longest unbroken shot in the entire ''Star Trek'' franchise.
