Episode: "The Big Goodbye"
Needing a break from his preparations to deliver an official greeting to a race known as the Jarada, Captain Picard tries out a recent upgrade applied to the holodeck in which he'll get to assume the role of the private detective Dixon Hill, a charcater that he's been a fan of since childhood. Although Picard's experiences in the game start off relatively playfull, the safety of the fantasy turns decidely more dangerous after the Enterprise is intercepted by a long-range probe sent by the Jarada, damaging the holodeck circuitry, locking the players in and more crucially disabling the simulator's safety protocols; getting hurt has become decidedly more real.
Dixon Hill's [Picard] nemesis Cyrus Redblock visits Hill's office with a couple of his guys to obtain "the item" that Hill was alegedly hired to find. With the holodeck safety routines offline, fellow participant Whalen bleeding to death on the floor and Picard clueless as to what "the item" even is, both Picard and Data take the plunge and attempt to teach these holograms that their world, their existence and the characters that our heroes appear to be to them is not real. - Yeah it was a tough sell and Redblock wasn't buying.
