Star Trek: The Best of Both Worlds, The Abduction

Watch in High Quailty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CkqTKNrDEM&fmt=18

Plot
The Enterprise-D responds to a distress call from the new Providence colony, only to discover a crater where the colony was, similar to several other colonies along the Romulan Neutral Zone. Lt. Commander Shelby, a tactician and expert on the Borg, arrives to assist the Enterprise crew in determining the cause of the colony's disappearance. However, it quickly becomes clear that Shelby is looking to become second-in-command of the Enterprise, as Commander Riker is being pressured to take command of his own ship against his will by Starfleet. With Shelby's help, they confirm the colony was assimilated by the Borg; after receiving word of a Borg Cube sighted in Federation space, the Enterprise leaves to meet it.

When they catch up with the Cube, the Borg demand the Enterprise turn over Captain Picard. The Borg lock the Enterprise in a tractor beam and attempt to cut open the ship upon Picard's refusal. Shelby suggest a means of altering the frequency of the ship's phasers to bypass the Borg defenses, allowing them to destroy the tractor beam and escaping to a nearby nebula to affect repairs and determine a strategy. Using Shelby's previous tactic, they work at modifying the Enterprise's deflector dish in the same manner as the phasers, which will be destructive to the Cube should they weaken its defenses. Before repairs are completed, the Borg flush the Enterprise from the nebula with magnetometric-guided charges, and then board the ship in its weaken state, abducting Picard. The Borg Cube moves off at high warp speed towards Earth, with the Enterprise giving chase.
