UPN yesterday released the trailer for the next Enterprise episode, entitled 'Fortunate Son'.

In this episode, the crew is dispatched by Starfleet Command to assist Fortunate, a human freight vessel that has been attacked by Nausicaan pirates. On arriving, they are surprised to find that Fortunate's crew is resistant to Archer's efforts to help them and determined to seek revenge against their attackers, no matter what the repercussions.

Courtesy of Outpost 6, a digitised version of the promo is available for download. For those of you with slower connections, here's a transcript:

NEXT WEEK ON AN ALL NEW ENTERPRISE...

[The smaller ship fires]

Ryan Cross: "He's our prisoner."

[Archer, Phlox, Reed and T'Pol are talking.]

WHEN ARCHER INTERFERES BETWEEN BITTER RIVALS...

[Inside a darkened cargo hold, Ryan Cross faces the emprisoned Nausicaan, who is tied to a wall.]

[Ryan Cross angrily looks at the Nausicaan and kicks him viciously. The Nausicaan cries out in pain.]

Archer: "Release that hostage!"

[The Enterprise crew goes through a door]

THE ENTERPRISE CREW BECOMES A TARGET.

[With T'Pol in the background, Ryan Cross addresses Archer.]
