00:00Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:29Wait, you two know each other?
00:31She helped me find my way back home
00:33She's the reason I joined Starfleet
00:35Spock, will you marry me?
00:40We're going back out
00:41I will meet you on board, Captain
00:42Topring will understand
00:43I am sorry
00:44I won't chase you across the galaxy just to get married
00:48This is your idea of a practical joke
00:50It's tradition
00:51Hazing the newbie?
00:53Consider it your first complete swear in Enterprise Bingo
00:56Captain, your plan requires flying the Enterprise
00:59Into one of the most turbulent phenomenons in space
01:01All hands make ready for impact
01:03Hit it
01:05No, no, no, no, no, no
01:11Then you wake up
01:11I won't chase you
01:12But Lord питes
01:12Hit it
01:13I won't chase you
01:14I won't chase you
01:15I won't chase you
01:17If you want to andra
01:17So many emotions
01:18May it see you
01:18What?
01:19What?
01:19Good
01:20Next copy
01:20Flamia
01:20Clamia
01:21Let's go
01:21Saint-Terminor
01:21Fading
01:53Spock, you're ears.
02:17You're a human.
02:20It's a prank.
02:20I will not marry a human.
02:24I choose Calafi.
02:34That is ritual combat.
02:36Who am I supposed to fight?
02:48You will fight.
02:50Him.
02:51What fighting myself is...
03:09So logical.
03:39What would you know of logic?
03:51You are a human.
03:53Ruled by emotion.
03:54No.
03:55I'm not human.
03:56I'm not.
03:57I'm not human.
04:11Science officers log. Stardate 2341.4. After our harrowing encounter with Gorn, Enterprise has returned to Starbase 1, one of the oldest, most venerated space stations in the Federation.
04:36Newly repaired after the Klingon War, here the crew will be adjourning for so much needed rest and relaxation.
04:46While I have agreed to assist the captain with a diplomatic matter, I plan to spend most of my time here with my fiancée, T'Pring, who has arranged to join me since our last visit was cut short by...
05:00Come!
05:06Spock parted from me and never parted, never and always touching untouched. We meet at the appointed place.
05:15T'Pring, parted from me and never parted, never and always touching untouched.
05:21I wear you.
05:24I wear you.
05:28I wear you.
05:29Come on, ideally.
05:31This room they have given us seems very...
05:49...human.
05:55It is hard to imagine that a Vulcan has slept in here.
05:58These are my quarters.
05:59And I am redecorating.
06:02It is a work in progress.
06:04Then I withdraw my criticism.
06:08Until your decorations are complete.
06:11Thank you for helping arrange accommodations for my colleague, T.
06:14I trust she's found the medical.
06:16You will have to explain the necessity of her presence here.
06:19Do you understand my professional responsibilities?
06:21You undertake to rehabilitate those who have committed crimes by showing them the true path of Vulcan logic.
06:25Indeed.
06:27I have a way with dangerous criminals, it would seem.
06:29One such criminal, Barjan Ta'or, has been spotted in the vicinity.
06:35Was he not responsible for the uprising on Kepler-22 Bay?
06:37He was.
06:38The authorities on Vulcan have sought him for some time.
06:41You must have important work duties to perform here.
06:43Katu can handle Barjan.
06:45That is why she has accompanied me.
06:52Now I understand.
06:54I have not forgotten that during our last time together, it was your duty that interrupted us.
06:59We must prioritize our relationship.
07:04Of course.
07:05I still have some diplomatic responsibilities I must dispense with before we...
07:14I expected no different.
07:18You're disappointed.
07:20I am realistic.
07:20I will be free in time for us to die together tonight.
07:26I shall look forward to it.
07:30The Rungovian Protectorate controls a small but vitally important piece of territory in between Klingon and Romulan space.
07:51It's the fastest route to the other side of the Beta Quadrant, but without, say, passage, we keep losing ships.
07:58Why haven't we been able to make inroads with them before?
08:01They've been unusually private up until now.
08:03That all changed after initial diplomatic discussions were undertaken by the Tellarites.
08:07Eh.
08:08And how did those go, sir?
08:09Your beard is as ridiculous as your proposals.
08:15Every word you speak is an insult to Rungovian.
08:18I can see why they...
08:19And here I thought the Tellarites were rude.
08:22Maybe Ambassador Q. Raul said the wrong thing.
08:24We don't know.
08:25And we can't wait long to find out.
08:26We just learned that the Rungovians are now in negotiation with the Klingons.
08:29With the Romulans not far behind.
08:31Time isn't on our side.
08:33We need to try to deal with them first.
08:34I'm certain we can handle the situation with considerably more delicacy and grace than the Tellarites, Bob.
08:39Good.
08:40Because we're meeting them tomorrow, first thing.
08:42Who's leading the negotiation on their side?
08:44That's Vassal Legalia, captain of their flagship, Doc.
08:47Right over there.
08:51Is that an old solar sail ship, sir?
08:53Yeah.
08:54They bring her out for ceremonial occasions.
08:57When they sign a treaty, apparently they fly the flag of their new allies as a tribute.
09:01Union sing to the captain.
09:03I'm afraid we have a bit of a situation.
09:05What's going on?
09:06I have the Rungovian delegation here, and they're quite insistent on seeing you right now.
09:11What are they doing here?
09:14No idea.
09:15Well, there's a long way to find out.
09:16Lieutenant Noonien Singh, show them in.
09:22What is this?
09:23We have been waiting in our ship while you are here discussing our upcoming negotiations.
09:28You must be captain Vassal.
09:29And you are Pike?
09:30Actually, I'm Admiral Robert April, if I may.
09:34I speak to Captain Pike only.
09:37Well, I'm Captain Pike.
09:40Nice to meet you.
09:42Well, if I'd known you were coming early, I could have cooked you up an Earth specialty.
09:51Captain Pike.
09:52The pleasure is mine.
09:54I'm Vassal.
09:55This is my first officer, Brax.
09:57Well, very nice to meet you both.
09:59This is Lieutenant Spock and Kadetta Uhura from the Enterprise, and you've already met Lieutenant Noonien Singh.
10:05Sir, I should go do the security things?
10:10Yes.
10:11Thank you, Lon.
10:12We're good.
10:12You are Vulcan.
10:18Famous for your logic, yes?
10:20Indeed.
10:21Then your voice is also a part of the Federation.
10:26All members of the Federation have a voice in its governance.
10:30That sounds confusing.
10:34Yeah, it can be.
10:35With so many voices in your Federation, how do you decide which one is in control?
10:41We vote.
10:41But we gain our power from all our memberships, so we try to listen to each other.
10:46All of us.
10:47We too listen.
10:49Empathy is a hallmark of our people.
10:51Few understand that.
10:54We shall sit and talk.
10:57Uh, oh, okay.
10:59I guess, uh, let's begin.
11:07Doctor!
11:08Are you here?
11:10Sure leave us a wasting.
11:11We gotta go.
11:13Is it time already?
11:14Are you serious?
11:15Sorry.
11:17I've been collecting data to share with Dr. Barroa.
11:20Is that his, you know what?
11:21No.
11:23Expert in non-invasive surgical techniques?
11:25Cutting-edge stuff.
11:27Except, uh, without the cutting.
11:28Oh.
11:30You know, she's come all the way from the other side of the quadrant.
11:32You don't want to be late to meet her.
11:34Right.
11:34Two minutes.
11:36How about you?
11:36Excited to see Lieutenant Debra?
11:38Sure.
11:39So, how are we gonna play it this time?
11:41You want me to keep my communicator on, or do we need a hand signal?
11:44No need.
11:46This is what I appreciate about Debra.
11:47You and I are on the same page.
11:50Casual.
11:50No attachments.
11:51It's just for fun.
11:53Zero commitments page.
11:54It's more like a book than a page.
11:56And you said the same thing about that gal on R. Julius 2.
11:59That was a misunderstanding.
12:03It was one time.
12:04One very entertaining time.
12:06How is being chased by a live phaser fire fun?
12:09Oh, good.
12:11I was worried you might show up and still have a hat.
12:14Yeah, I was gonna ask.
12:17Go fly fishing.
12:19I hear the biospheres have everything.
12:21You know what?
12:22I'm warming to it.
12:26Lieutenant Ortegas, Dr. Mbenga, and Nurse Chapel, you are officially checked out.
12:32Enjoy your shore leave.
12:33You don't have to do this in person, you know.
12:35Only way to make sure it's done right.
12:37Nice hat, by the way.
12:39Fine.
12:41I'll take it off.
12:43What do you two have planned for shore leave?
12:46Are you kidding?
12:47They don't shore leave.
12:48They shore stay.
12:50All right.
12:51The nickname.
12:56I don't know what I'm saying.
12:58I should probably go.
13:00Chief Kyle.
13:01What nickname?
13:04I can't remember.
13:07It's...
13:07Where fun goes to die.
13:10It's stupid.
13:11The yeomen don't know what they're talking about.
13:13If they did, they wouldn't be yeomen.
13:17Energize.
13:24Have you heard this, Chief?
13:25No, no, no.
13:26Of course not.
13:27No, no.
13:28T'pring.
13:41T'pring.
13:41I am sorry the negotiations commenced unexpectedly.
13:51I do not doubt your duty's importance.
13:54Yet we agreed this time would be for us.
13:58I chose not to work even while I too had important work to do.
14:02A shared acceptance of mutual sacrifice is crucial to a successful relationship.
14:07Yes, that is indisputable.
14:10I am concerned that your time in Starfleet may be causing you to behave in a manner so...
14:15...human.
14:17We may ultimately find ourselves incompatible.
14:21Perhaps you should go prepare for your important work.
14:25If you will excuse me.
14:40Space.
14:40The final frontier.
14:52These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
14:58It's five-year mission.
15:04To explore strange new worlds.
15:08To seek out new life.
15:11And new civilizations.
15:15To boldly go where no one has gone before.
15:18The End
15:34The End
15:37The End
17:11I'm just wondering where it's going.
17:13I had this crazy idea.
17:16What if you transfer to this guy?
17:18Or I have a life you transfer to.
17:20Hey, wow.
17:21I'm sorry.
17:22I really need to go and check with my friend.
17:24What?
17:25I'll call you later.
17:26Okay?
17:26Okay.
17:33Why do you let it bother you?
17:35Hmm?
17:36Where fun goes to die.
17:37It didn't bother me.
17:38I just hadn't heard it before.
17:40Have you?
17:41No.
17:42And I don't care.
17:43I don't either.
17:44Just not knowing makes me feel out of touch.
17:47As a senior officer, I don't get to be part of the crew anymore.
17:49Oh, no.
17:50That's not because you're a senior officer.
17:52It's because you terrify people.
17:54That's a compliment.
17:55Thanks.
17:56I mean, what's wrong with liking work?
17:58And shore leave.
17:59I mean, the ship clears up.
18:00Halls are empty.
18:01No lines for the master synthesizers.
18:03It's just you and the gentle thrum of the war corps.
18:08It's like...
18:08It's like Christmas.
18:11I was looking forward to redoing the duty rosters.
18:14I was planning on checking the phaser power spies in the armory, actually.
18:18Attention.
18:19Lieutenant Noonien Singh.
18:20Security breach at airlock four.
18:22Unauthorized access in progress.
18:24Copy.
18:25Computer, who's on rotation for backup?
18:26Belay that.
18:28I'm your backup.
18:30People are idiots.
18:32You're fun.
18:45Don't you...
18:46We're crew.
18:54Fuck.
18:55You're clearly an extraordinarily intelligent person.
19:01But you're also an idiot.
19:03I feel I should have seen that coming.
19:06Please elucidate.
19:07You told her you were going to be home for dinner.
19:10And then you weren't.
19:11I found myself in an impossible circumstance where I was unable to reconcile my many did.
19:15That is not a human gesture I'm familiar with.
19:20It's designed to break old habits.
19:23You're supposed to put her ahead of your duties.
19:26It's what being in a relationship is.
19:27It's a mutual sacrifice.
19:29Pretty much why I avoid them.
19:31I am concerned that Supreme thinks I'm an incompatible mate because I'm half human.
19:38Okay.
19:39I had a terrible dream last night that I had to fight my human side.
19:43Vulcans, don't do subtle, do you?
19:46I was raised on Vulcan.
19:47Among Vulcans.
19:48My human family connection was frequently used to isolate me.
19:52Tonight Spock had a pretty lousy time with it, huh?
19:55I was bonded to my pet cellar, Acharya.
19:58I had a Malamute named Milo.
20:02May or may not have bitten this girl, called me stupid.
20:06Sharp teeth.
20:08I hope the girl did not repeat the mistake again.
20:11Look, uh, maybe to Pring just feels misunderstood.
20:19If the human thing is big in her head, you just have to make her see that you get her.
20:22It's a Vulcan.
20:25Thank you for your advice.
20:28If I can ever return the favor, please, do not hesitate to ask.
20:32What are friends for?
20:33What are friends for?
20:36That was a rhetorical, Spock.
20:41Oh, I know.
20:43Humans are almost as easy to tease as Vulcans.
20:52Seriously?
20:53A Vulcan soul-sharing.
20:59I have failed to see your point of view.
21:01This will change that.
21:03I will hear your innermost thoughts.
21:05And you, mine.
21:07In doing so, you will know my soul, and I will know yours.
21:11We can truly understand each other.
21:13We will see through each other's eyes.
21:15Will you consent?
21:17I will.
21:19I will.
21:26I will.
21:27I will.
21:27T'pring, son i'avul geroch duu.
21:37Spoch, son i'usigh parodum.
21:44So doch de jem'nen kumpush.
21:47So chao de jem'nen falpush.
21:52So yim, so gnash, et sul valum.
22:03Spoch?
22:06Something is wrong. Things have not returned to as they should be.
22:16The effects of the ritual have not dissipated.
22:22We have apparently switched bodies.
22:37This was not meant to happen. How do we switch back?
22:41We do not know.
22:43We do not know.
22:45We do not know.
22:47Come.
22:48Bob.
22:49Come here to celebrate?
22:51Or not?
22:53Something wrong?
22:54Come.
23:03Bob, come here to celebrate?
23:06Or not?
23:08Something wrong?
23:10Bad news, Chris.
23:11The Rungovians aren't happy.
23:13They want to cancel all future meetings.
23:15What?
23:16Why?
23:18I don't know.
23:20I just said that a connection wasn't made.
23:25Whatever that means.
23:27I'm honestly baffled. You saw them.
23:29I mean, after fighting with the Tellurides,
23:31I thought we'd somehow manage to win them over.
23:32Right. I mean, if that was a bad diplomatic meeting,
23:35I don't know what a good one would look like.
23:37We'll have to get back into a room.
23:40Here's the thing, Chris.
23:41We were able to talk to Minton coming back to the table,
23:44and we don't want to talk to you anymore.
23:47Okay. Who do they want to talk to?
23:54Anything?
23:57No.
23:58But I have thought of another adjustment we could try.
24:01Spock, we have been at these rituals four hours,
24:03and none of them are working.
24:04We may have to seek some help with this.
24:06There is one more chant I'd like to try.
24:08We might need a gong.
24:10I think I have one in my trip.
24:11What should we do?
24:17You must answer it.
24:20These are my quarters.
24:21Anyone who comes here will expect me to answer the door.
24:23I know how a door works.
24:26If they go away,
24:27that may give us enough time to fix the situation.
24:29Logic suggests the easiest way to get them to go away
24:31is for you to answer while pretending to be me.
24:34Spock, I do not like hijinks.
24:36In that, we are in agreement.
24:37But it appears that hijinks
24:38are the most logical course of action.
24:40Answer.
24:51Mr. Spock,
24:52I apologize.
24:54I know I promised I'd leave you alone.
24:55Hi, Spring.
24:56I really don't mean to interrupt.
24:58It is of no consequence, Captain.
25:00Uh, Chris.
25:01If there is an emergency,
25:03then of course you must speak with Spock.
25:06Who is right there?
25:09Yeah, I...
25:10I can see that.
25:11Although, we are clearly
25:12in the middle of something.
25:14Look, I really don't mean
25:15to come between the two of you here
25:16with whatever is going on.
25:19We're meditating.
25:22Perhaps it's best if you leave us
25:24to our sacred things.
25:26That's not necessary, Chris.
25:30Please, tell us what you need.
25:33We have a situation with Rangovians.
25:35They refuse to talk to anybody but you.
25:37What?
25:38But I can't...
25:40I mean, he can't talk to them.
25:43I really can't talk to them, Chris.
25:46I'm engaged.
25:48I don't think you're getting it, Spock.
25:50They won't talk to anyone else.
25:53You're pretty much all that stands
25:53between us and the Rangovians
25:55allying with the Klingons or the Romulans.
25:57Hell, maybe both.
25:59We should tell him.
26:00It is the only logical path.
26:01Agreed.
26:02Captain, we have undertaken a ritual
26:05to share our Katras.
26:07It has had unforeseen consequences.
26:09We have switched bodies.
26:10We seem unable to switch back.
26:12Get out of town.
26:17We are not in a town.
26:20You guys did a body swap?
26:22Like, your minds are in each other's...
26:23That is correct.
26:25I am Spock.
26:27And I am T'Kring.
26:28Now that you know,
26:29you can likely tell me very clear differences
26:30in our mannerisms.
26:32Yeah, totally.
26:33Look, I don't know what to do about this.
26:36But the Rangovians won't meet
26:37with anybody but Spock.
26:40Or somebody who looks like him.
26:42I do not want to put T'Kring through that.
26:44It takes a lot of experience.
26:46I will do it.
26:48T'Kring, are you quite certain?
26:50We have undergone this ritual
26:51in order to better understand each other, correct?
26:53Yes, but then...
26:54Then is this not an opportunity for us to do that?
26:58I will accompany Chris.
27:01You remain here and find a way
27:02to reverse the ritual.
27:05Captain, tell me what I need to do.
27:20God called!
27:21Damn!
27:22Gotta be quicker, Chief.
27:26Do you realize what kind of trouble
27:27you're in, Ensign?
27:29Um, no.
27:32I'd start talking.
27:37Or the next time you do,
27:38we'll be at your court-martial.
27:41I was an Ensign once, too.
27:43I understand being nervous.
27:45I just don't want to get in any trouble.
27:48You won't.
27:49Do you want some coffee?
27:50Eh, it was Enterprise Bingo!
27:53We were doing Enterprise Bingo!
27:55Bingo!
27:56I heard you.
27:58That's so interesting!
28:00That's not even the best part.
28:01We were on the last square,
28:03so we were trying to sign the Scorch.
28:05Ensign, Zier, and Christina,
28:07we've heard your explanations.
28:08Enterprise Bingo signing the Scorch.
28:11You can't overlook the fact
28:12that both of you acted
28:13in a very irresponsible manner.
28:15Very.
28:16Your shore leave is revoked.
28:17You'll spend the next two days
28:18assigned to Chief Kyle.
28:19No, not Chief Kyle.
28:20He's so mean.
28:21We'll have you micro-cleaning
28:22the transporter pads.
28:24Dismissed.
28:25What the hell is Enterprise Bingo?
28:36Not a clue.
28:44Greetings, Ketil.
28:45Tupring is not.
28:47That is, I am not.
28:49Never mind.
28:50Forgive my intrusion, Tupring.
28:52I know you ask that I not disturb you,
28:54but there has been a problem
28:55with the rendezvous with Bajon.
28:57What type of a problem?
28:58He has agreed to immediate surrender,
29:00but he has refused to meet with me.
29:02He will only speak to you.
29:03Ketil, I am not feeling myself.
29:07I'm afraid we need you.
29:08No other Vulcan could pull this off.
29:10I am sure that I am great at this,
29:13but circumstances are complicated
29:15between Spock and myself at the moment.
29:18I know how important this time is for you two,
29:21so I will not ask you to make that sacrifice.
29:23I will merely reiterate our mission
29:25as you have always explained it.
29:28If not for us,
29:29who else will help them back to the path of logic?
29:33Only you can do this, Tupring.
29:34So Enterprise Bingo is a game?
29:51Apparently, one played exclusively
29:53by the Ensign class and lower.
29:55In order to achieve bingo,
29:57crew member must perform
29:59the series of tasks on this list.
30:01This is quite comprehensive.
30:05Where'd you get this?
30:06Confiscated it from Ensign's quarters
30:08during routine inspection.
30:11Don't give me that milk.
30:12I was just seeing my job.
30:13Sure you were.
30:14Well, if this is what passes for fun,
30:16I'm happy to be Fun's funeral.
30:18Where Fun goes to die,
30:20not Fun's funeral.
30:21Whatever.
30:22I'll never understand it.
30:23I guess we could
30:26understand it.
30:29I mean, if we wanted to,
30:30you know,
30:31get a better understanding
30:34of the crew.
30:41Okay, flavour's gone roger there.
30:43Energise.
30:44Fan, flavour check.
30:59Spin it again.
31:01Wow.
31:02Yes.
31:04One, two, three.
31:07Engineering!
31:08Destination, engineering.
31:10Woo!
31:11Okay, fine.
31:12Damn it, okay.
31:13Best two out of three.
31:15Go.
31:24Lower setting.
31:27Ready?
31:31Aim.
31:34Wait.
31:38Ow.
31:39That really stings.
31:41Oh.
31:43We having fun yet?
31:47So did you tell Dever how you really feel?
31:49No.
31:50I was worried he'd try to get serious again.
31:52What did he do?
31:53He tried to read me some of his poetry.
31:56Sweet heaven.
31:58Was it any good?
32:00Oddly, not terrible.
32:03Also not the point.
32:04Just the same time, too.
32:06Set some boundaries.
32:07Smart.
32:08Is that Spock's girlfriend?
32:11Hard to tell, but does she look pissed?
32:12Oh, I should tell you something.
32:14She's heading over here.
32:15Tell me what.
32:15Oh, I might have given Spock some relationship with boys.
32:18Are you serious?
32:20Never get in the middle of a Vulcan relationship.
32:22They will hit you with a Lidba.
32:25Trust me.
32:26Have you ever fought with a Lidba?
32:28I have actual scars.
32:29There's Chapel.
32:34May we talk?
32:38Alone.
32:41Good luck, you two.
32:43Uh, hi.
32:46I'm in need of your help.
32:48Oh.
32:50Oh, I'm sorry.
32:52I just seriously did not think you would take my advice this far.
32:56It was not intentional.
32:59It must be so weird.
33:01Being inside your fiancé's body.
33:05I had not taken the time to consider it.
33:08Really?
33:10It is...
33:12different.
33:13Oh.
33:14But as it is my fault, I am afraid that I am now endangering to Pring's career.
33:18As she works to save mine.
33:20There must be a medical solution.
33:23Okay, yeah.
33:24I mean, sure, but a medical solution is going to take time.
33:28Meanwhile,
33:29you clearly have a relationship opportunity.
33:33Are you suggesting that I should attempt to do her job?
33:35She's doing yours.
33:37Why don't you help her out?
33:39Use some of that good old Vulcan logic
33:41she prizes so much.
33:43This is coming dangerously close to hijinks.
33:46Hey,
33:47who doesn't love hijinks?
33:48I'm not feeling it.
33:56I mean, I felt it when you shot me with a phaser.
34:00But no,
34:01not feeling it either.
34:02Maybe it's because I didn't have a childhood like everyone else
34:05that I don't idealize childish behavior.
34:08So,
34:08are we done with this pointless exercise?
34:11No.
34:13No?
34:14We're finishing the list.
34:15Look,
34:15I know it was my idea,
34:16but, I mean,
34:17how much more insight into the crew
34:18do we actually need?
34:19Enterprise bingo.
34:20What's the point?
34:21A way to blow off steam?
34:22To do something risky,
34:24just for the thrill of it.
34:25To break the rules.
34:27Only we make the rules.
34:29Bingo.
34:31Exactly.
34:32Which means we have to find another way
34:34to break them.
34:36Query,
34:37is the Rangovian protector
34:38aware of the Klingon history
34:39of cultural domination?
34:41Response.
34:42Merely pointing out the risks
34:44of an alliance with the Klingons
34:45does not make an adequate argument
34:46for the Federation.
34:48Understandably.
34:48I'm trying to prepare you
34:50for the illogical fallout
34:51should these negotiations fail.
34:52Which, in essence,
34:53is a thread.
34:54Is it just me,
34:55or do the Rangovians
34:56suddenly seem awfully
34:57Vulcan-ish?
34:59Just both the observers only.
35:00What is the logic
35:01of an alliance
35:01with a culture
35:02whose central purpose
35:03is the subjugation
35:04of other cultures
35:04to its own?
35:05What is the logic
35:06of an alliance
35:06with a Federation
35:07whose interdependence
35:08merely dilutes
35:09the cultures
35:09that comprise it?
35:10Spock can handle it.
35:18As a Vulcan,
35:20I sympathize
35:21with your fears
35:22that you will lose
35:23your culture too,
35:24homogenization
35:25and a multilateral alliance
35:26like ours.
35:28There are times
35:29I wish
35:29I could return to Vulcan
35:31to focus on my culture
35:32instead of traveling
35:33the galaxy
35:34focusing on Starfleet.
35:35I am confused.
35:37Are you saying
35:38that you do not
35:38value the Federation?
35:40Chris, Chris,
35:41what are you doing?
35:42My apologies,
35:43Captain,
35:43if I may interject.
35:44You may not.
35:45You are here
35:46as a courtesy.
35:47I'm not speaking up
35:47on behalf of the Federation.
35:49Rather,
35:49I am speaking up
35:50on behalf of
35:50Lieutenant Spock.
35:51That is...
35:52what?
35:54We will allow it.
35:59If I may,
36:01Spock,
36:01it is a noble sacrifice
36:04you've made
36:05to spend so much time
36:07away from your own culture.
36:08It is?
36:09Yes, it is.
36:11Your commitment
36:11to the Federation
36:12and to understanding
36:14both the values
36:15and plights
36:15of cultures
36:16wildly different,
36:17sometimes a great
36:17personal cost.
36:19Your constant striving
36:20for intellectual excellence
36:22and your commitment
36:23to the spirit
36:24of duty
36:25is aspirational.
36:27To answer the question
36:28why the Federation,
36:29one need only look
36:30across the table,
36:31Captain Vassel.
36:33You,
36:34Mr. Spock,
36:35are simply everything
36:37that is great
36:37about Starfleet.
36:38I...
36:40Thank you, Captain.
36:47I am so sorry.
36:48I didn't mean to interrupt.
36:49I hope I haven't insulted you
36:50with my presence.
36:54I should never have put you
36:56in this position.
36:56Let's get you out of here.
36:59Wait.
37:02Your actions have impressed us,
37:03Captain,
37:04defending your crewmen
37:05like that.
37:06We will conclude
37:07this session
37:08but we'll offer you
37:09the opportunity
37:10of summation
37:10before we leave.
37:11The End
37:13The End
37:13To be continued...
37:43To be continued...
38:13Jean. This is my colleague, Nurse Christine Chappell.
38:17I was clear that I would only speak to you alone to bring.
38:20Given that you are a patosh couture, I did not think that you would object to a human joining us.
38:25Since when does N. Keshe Tankteel employ humans in service of logic?
38:28Well, I'm here to show you that she's not all about logic.
38:37You know, to make you feel more comfortable.
38:39I always found you curious among Vulcans to bring for your tolerance of these creatures.
38:43My sympathy for those without logic is why I am here.
38:47Given your position, I would think that you would be more open-minded.
38:49It is one thing to see strength and emotion.
38:51It is another thing entirely to marry a half-human.
38:55It is well known you were betrothed to the son of Sarek.
38:58What of it?
38:59You defend Vulcan ideals with one hand, insult them with the other.
39:02Hey, you know what?
39:06I work with Spock.
39:08He's twice the Vulcan you are.
39:10A human's assessment is hardly the basis for insult.
39:13As fascinating as your opinions about humans are,
39:17logic dictates that I ask if there are any circumstances under which you would accept our offer of rehabilitation.
39:23At this point, no.
39:26So you've got to tell.
39:27You're here.
39:28Ergo, you want something.
39:30Indeed.
39:31So what is it?
39:33Humans evolved from apes, did they not?
39:35You've kept many of their charming qualities, it would seem.
39:38I would caution you to stop insulting my companion.
39:41Would you lose the opportunity to bring me in over mere words?
39:44Indeed, I would.
39:44That doesn't seem very logical.
39:46Says a Vulcan who has rejected logic.
39:50To tell you the truth, I came here today with every intention of considering rehabilitation.
39:58But the company you keep changed my mind.
40:01You listen here.
40:02Perhaps we should keep the details of how exactly we captured Barjan between us.
40:12My response was a tad.
40:15Too human.
40:16I'd say just the right amount.
40:19All my time studying Vulcan medicine, I never got to deal with a cataract transform.
40:34Exceedingly rare.
40:36Glucose levels steady.
40:37Cortical patterns holding.
40:40What is this noxious paste you're applying to our skulls?
40:44Ground-nivellant sea action.
40:46It's nutrient-rich, water-resistant, and a pretty good match for Vulcan skin.
40:52Electromagnetically speaking.
40:53He's been dying to use this stuff ever since he picked it up.
40:56Trust me, this will become Federation's standard.
41:00Eventually.
41:06And now that you've covered our heads in sea urchin paste?
41:10Cortical stimulation will mimic the original brain patterns of your host body, making it uncomfortable for any visitors in there.
41:16We zap you.
41:19We switch back.
41:20Theoretically.
41:22Theoretically.
41:24Catra's bridge the gap between medicine and something else.
41:28Magic?
41:29The mind.
41:32So it's not cut and dry.
41:34Emotion plays a part.
41:36I think that's what happened here.
41:54They're gonna nerve bitches for this, will they?
41:57Yes.
41:59Probably.
41:59Probably.
42:06Nurse Chappell.
42:17You know, you can call me Christine.
42:20Christine.
42:22I wanted to thank you again for your help.
42:25Hey, no big deal.
42:28Perhaps not.
42:30But for me, the deal was very big.
42:34Very big indeed.
42:34Just try to be honest with what you can and can't offer from now on.
42:41You needn't worry.
42:43Wilkins cannot lie.
42:45At least, not in the way that humans can.
42:51I mean honest with yourself.
42:53I admit, I've been afraid that I was not Vulcan enough for you.
43:14That you saw me as human.
43:17More concerned about my duty to Starfleet than to my culture or my betrothed.
43:26My feelings about Vulcan are not easy.
43:32On our world, I was forced to prove my Vulcan-ness.
43:37Any deviation was seen as proof I did not belong.
43:43In Starfleet, I am accepted for who I am.
43:46Half Vulcan, half human, half human.
43:52I am, quite simply, Spock.
43:57I know how much you value duty.
44:05And I feared that you saw our relationship as just that.
44:10A duty.
44:12Rather than something more.
44:14We must both want to be here.
44:23I do.
44:27As do I.
44:30Nem lo que tu ansiasis.
44:44Do you know what you're going to say to them, sir?
44:47I certainly hope so.
44:49Come on, Bob.
44:50Where's the drama in that?
44:57Well, Captain.
45:00Tell us.
45:03Why should we ally with your Federation?
45:06Easy.
45:07You shouldn't.
45:08Chris.
45:09Why would you turn our enemies into your enemies?
45:12We're just a few years clear of the Klingon War.
45:14The Romulans are out there biding their time.
45:16Who knows what species we'll piss off next.
45:18And it's not like we're coming to you with any great respect for your culture.
45:21We barely know anything about it.
45:23Now, it's pretty clear we're only interested in you for your territory.
45:27And what would you get in return?
45:29The hypothetical benefit of new trade markets?
45:32Scientific advancement?
45:33Our promise of support in the event of a crisis,
45:35which will probably only come about because you've thrown your lot into us.
45:38Now, the Federation has lots to offer, sure,
45:42but it always exacts a price.
45:44You have good reason to suspect that price is too high for you to pay.
45:59Chris, what the hell was that?
46:12Playing a hunch.
46:15You're risking an alliance that could be the key to the Federation's future security on a hunch?
46:20It's a good hunch.
46:21Chris.
46:21The Romulans were rude to the Tellarites, reasonable with us, and deeply logical when talking to a Vulcan.
46:30So you're saying they copy anyone they come into contact with?
46:35Yeah, that's what I thought at first.
46:36And then it occurred to me.
46:39What if this was a diplomatic technique?
46:42They responded positively when I took Spock's side, even though it was in direct violation of what they'd asked.
46:48Maybe they're just looking for somebody to take their point of view.
46:51Radical empathy.
46:53Maybe what they value the most in others is the capacity to see things their way.
47:00They're flying our flag.
47:14Looks like we have a new ally.
47:15One thing's for sure, no one's signed the Scorch like this before.
47:39And we're 100% sure the false build will hold.
47:4599%, at least.
47:52Well, we did it.
47:55Broke the rules.
47:57I mean, there has to be a rule against this, right?
47:59There has to be.
48:09Is that the Scorch?
48:10The oldest, unreplaced piece of the Enterprise's hull.
48:19Supposed to be good luck to sign it.
48:21I know it.
48:25I know.
48:37It's because it's because it's—
48:42It's because it seems it's not good It's because it's not good.
48:43Ina.
48:57It's...
49:13Yeah, it is.
49:27You know, I enjoyed being Mr. Spock for a day.
49:33In the spirit of total honesty, I should probably tell you that I hunched the barge on.
49:40Having met him, that is logical.
49:43I've been looking for love, in all the wrong places, looking for love, on all the wrong faces, and I got to...
50:09How things end with Debra.
50:10And I told him how boring he was.
50:15Maybe try that next time you're in a relationship.
50:19Try what?
50:20Being honest.
50:21Yeah, that means the relationship might get serious.
50:24So?
50:24It would have to be the right guy.
50:32I, uh...
50:33What?
50:36Nothing.
50:37No.
50:37They blow away, never to say, never, never to tell him again.
50:54I've been looking for love, in all the wrong places.
51:05I've been looking for love, in all the wrong faces, and I, I know, I know, that I keep on searching.
51:22I, I know, I know, that I made a lot of people, and I know I've been looking for love.
51:26I've been looking for love, in all the wrong places, but I've been looking for love.
51:27You, I have been looking for love.
51:30Sometimes you'll use a lot of love with you.
51:31Sometimes I feel like I've got all the riches, baby.
51:34Feel like I've got all the riches, baby
