00:01:59Unsettled by man, it was the end.
00:02:09And its story remained dark to me until many years later.
00:02:14Until it became my story.
00:02:18Until it became the only story.
00:02:29Don't do that!
00:02:51Sorry.
00:02:52Where are the others?
00:02:54Uh, we're meeting them at the fence.
00:02:56We're a bit late.
00:02:59Come on, guys.
00:03:19Shit.
00:03:22A bishop's claw.
00:03:24A valley.
00:03:25We need to go quiet.
00:03:29No field starts all the way up there.
00:03:34Hit that rock.
00:03:37They called it the Vault.
00:03:39All the colonists knew for certain was that it projected a field designed to keep people away.
00:03:45No one could breach it.
00:03:47No one could lose his face.
00:03:50No one could do it.
00:03:53No one could be.
00:03:55No one could do it, not only.
00:03:57No one could.
00:03:58All the way up.
00:03:59No one could do it.
00:04:01All the way up.
00:04:03It's better than you did.
00:04:05We can't keep in peace with respect.
00:04:06Swear on your moon.
00:04:08The sword.
00:04:12You get nothing if you win.
00:04:14Get to watch him piss his pants.
00:04:18He's not gonna make it.
00:04:20Come on, Kier.
00:04:36Here.
00:04:52Are you okay?
00:04:53Your brother is an asshole.
00:04:54Kier, stop laughing at me.
00:04:56That's it!
00:04:57I was almost there.
00:04:58That was close!
00:04:59Polly, where are you going?
00:05:01Shit.
00:05:02Polly!
00:05:03Polly, come back!
00:05:04We don't have a deal!
00:05:05I know. I want to see the ghost.
00:05:36Shit.
00:05:41Pauline!
00:05:42He's not moving.
00:05:44Pauline!
00:05:46We gotta get help.
00:05:47Papa, will you stop me in that phone?
00:05:48I'm sorry!
00:06:05They're all gone. Eat.
00:06:27I saw the ghost.
00:06:28He saw me.
00:06:30Eat.
00:06:31You should've turned back like your boy Kier.
00:06:35People who've tried to get closer have been hurt.
00:06:37Really.
00:06:38You weren't.
00:06:39You got the record and you're okay.
00:06:43Am I?
00:06:44Your mark is so far, no one's ever seen it.
00:06:47That's because it doesn't exist.
00:06:49And neither does the ghost.
00:06:55When do you think it's gonna tell us what it is?
00:06:57Gordon.
00:06:59Call me Salvor.
00:07:00And you assume it cares anything about us?
00:07:05It doesn't.
00:07:07It's not just people it keeps away.
00:07:09It's everything.
00:07:10It's birds.
00:07:11Insects.
00:07:12No one's ever gotten through the gnoll field.
00:07:14And no one ever will.
00:07:15It's warning us to stay away.
00:07:18So stop tempting fate.
00:07:20Go.
00:07:21Be careful.
00:07:23There's a bishop's claw.
00:07:24Up valley.
00:07:25I know.
00:07:26down here.
00:07:27prot
00:07:28gnoll
00:07:29salvo hardin.
00:07:33Hobo malo.
00:07:34The mule.
00:07:35I would learn these names one day.
00:07:37one day. The heroes and villains fighting for the salvation of mankind. But to
00:07:48understand our future, we have to remember the past and the ones who caused
00:07:52it all. A mathematician, a martyr, a murderer, and the most important player
00:08:02of all, Harry Seldon.
00:08:14She'll be on her way soon.
00:08:22It will all work out, Rach. Everything is dying. That doesn't mean it won't work out.
00:08:30Do you ever wish there was another way? Every day, son.
00:08:36But this is the optimal time.
00:08:38Mm-hmm.
00:08:45It is time. Gail. Are you ready?
00:08:51It is time. Gail. Are you ready?
00:08:58It is time. Gail. Are you ready? Yes.
00:09:04All my life, I looked out and dreamed of being somewhere else. Now, I realize how much I'll
00:09:11miss this view. I have to remember it perfectly. No, you don't. We can pay for it. It's time.
00:09:13Satan's time. And don't.
00:09:13We've had two weeks. It's time.
00:09:21All my life, I looked out and dreamed of being somewhere else.
00:09:25Now I realize how much I'll miss this view.
00:09:28I have to remember it perfectly.
00:09:31No, you don't.
00:09:33We can petition this year, Breeze.
00:09:37It's not too late for you to stop this.
00:09:39It's not too late for you to stay.
00:09:41No.
00:09:44There's no place for me here anymore, Mum.
00:09:46I'll die if I stay here.
00:09:48But on Tranta, I'll be safe.
00:09:53Accepted.
00:09:57Hold your head high.
00:10:18They all hate me.
00:10:33You don't hate me, do you?
00:10:34Never, Gail.
00:10:36I'll always love you.
00:10:37My greatest joy.
00:10:45I'll be right back.
00:10:46I'll be right back.
00:10:47I'll be right back.
00:10:48I'll be right back.
00:10:49I'll be right back.
00:10:50I'll be right back.
00:10:51I'll be right back.
00:10:52I'll be right back.
00:10:53I'll be right back.
00:10:54I'll be right back.
00:10:55I'll be right back.
00:10:56I'll be right back.
00:10:57I'll be right back.
00:10:58I'll be right back.
00:10:59I'll be right back.
00:11:00I'll be right back.
00:11:01I'll be right back.
00:11:02I'll be right back.
00:11:03I'll be right back.
00:11:04I'll be right back.
00:11:05Come with me.
00:11:32We'd be lost up there.
00:11:35I love you.
00:11:47Go, child.
00:11:48Go, child.
00:12:18Go, child.

00:15:13Go, child.
00:15:15Go, child.
00:15:17Go, child.
00:15:31Go, child.
00:15:32I feel we have to sleep through the jump.
00:15:35It's supposed to be quite the light show.
00:15:38But if you're not a spacer, you can find your body and mind taking different trips.
00:15:43I sleep through the whole thing.
00:15:49Wow.
00:15:51If the Empire is good for anything, they can damn well build.
00:16:00This is incredible.
00:16:08The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:18The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:19The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:20The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:21The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:22The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:23The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:24The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:25The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:26The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:27The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:28The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:29The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:30The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:31The Empire is a part of the Empire.

00:16:35The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:36The Empire is a part of the Empire.
00:16:37Welcome to Trantor, the Eye of the Empire.
00:16:46Please respect and enjoy the peace.
00:16:57Were there soldiers?
00:17:00Probably didn't make the news on your world.
00:17:03Some sort of kerfuffle at the galaxy's edge.
00:17:07Anacreon and Thespis.
00:17:09Imperial appraisers got caught in the crossfire, so now it's a big deal.
00:17:18Sponsor and contact.
00:17:20Dr. Harry Seldon, Streeling University.
00:17:24Expected return to home planet.
00:17:26I'm not going back.
00:17:29This is my home now.
00:17:30Any car on the stalk, please respect and enjoy the peace.
00:17:37Now that I know you a little better, I won't waste my breath explaining everything.
00:17:44This part is great, don't worry.
00:17:46I'm going to stay awake the whole ride.
00:17:56Me too.
00:17:57It takes 14 hours to drop from Trantor Station to the planet's surface.
00:18:23Although technically, it's not the surface.
00:18:29Billions of citizens spend their lives beneath Trantor's outer shell, toiling away on a hundred subterranean levels, without ever seeing the sun or the stars.
00:18:38Whatever remained of the natural world belonged to the emperors.
00:18:51Dawn.
00:18:54Day.
00:18:57Dusk.
00:18:58The genetic dynasty, clones of Cleon the first, decanted at different ages.
00:19:06Master Orleo.
00:19:22Empire.
00:19:25How long have you worked for us?
00:19:2868 privileged years, Empire.
00:19:31Started cleaning the mural when I was 12.
00:19:33Gone from one end to the other four times over since then.
00:19:37Now every grain of chroma by heart now.
00:19:39Tell me, are there some colors more resistant to cleaning than others?
00:19:44Plum.
00:19:46Periwinkle.
00:19:48Saffron is a particularly truculent pigment.
00:19:52What about crimson?
00:19:54Is crimson truculent?
00:19:56Empire?
00:19:57It's come to our attention that a tract authored by Harry Seldon was discovered in your quarters.
00:20:02Apologies, Empire.
00:20:03It was foolish of me.
00:20:05It's just that I...
00:20:06Heard whispers of his proclamations and were curious.
00:20:09They refer to Seldon as the Raven, don't they?
00:20:16I hear he's rather critical of the Imperium.
00:20:20Well, I'm happy to report that his words are baseless, trash, and atrociously written, if I might add.
00:20:27Nevertheless, man has amassed a following.
00:20:30People who hinge their hopes on every word Raven Seldon utters.
00:20:35Words have a way of fanning into wildfires, Orleo.
00:20:40I am loyal, Empire.
00:20:42I would never...
00:20:43I know you won't.
00:20:44Which is why I broached this subject in person.
00:20:47Empire!
00:20:58What are your lessons this morning, Brother Dawn?
00:21:02Out of reach kingdoms.
00:21:03I learned an old Anachron song about hunting.
00:21:06Well, there is, uh, much truth in music.
00:21:11A boy bleeds a fawn with a knife, then takes shelter in her coat.
00:21:16That one's not really a hunting song.
00:21:17That's a dirty song about a boy's first time with a woman.
00:21:21Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:23Play it back in your mind, and don't confuse the two.
00:21:27Brother Day, please leave the peacock to the cooks.
00:21:30You'll be no less fascinating to your biographers.
00:21:32Brother Dusk imagines I'd do this to be colorful.
00:21:35And Brother Day puts more words in my mouth than he does poultry.
00:21:39It's the lard.
00:21:40The cooks inject it under the skin with a needle right before roasting.
00:21:44Do you know why they use a needle?
00:21:45Because it's efficient?
00:21:46Because they're afraid if they use a knife, as is the time-honored way,
00:21:50they might rip the skin, and I'll send them to a stew pot store 50 levels down.
00:21:55All of which is a problem.
00:21:58Why?
00:21:59Because when people are afraid to do the job right, they're certain to do it wrong.
00:22:05That's poor stewardship.
00:22:06It's poor roast peacock.
00:22:08Not everything is a teachable moment.
00:22:13Empire.
00:22:14Hmm.
00:22:14Demonstra.
00:22:15The delegations from Thespis and Anacron are arriving.
00:22:19How do they seem?
00:22:20Beavish.
00:22:21Barbarian kingdoms.
00:22:23More trouble than they're worth.
00:22:27About to reach trade, bring tariff projections to the residents.
00:22:29Dress nice.
00:22:33Have someone brush your hair.
00:22:35It's not the most important thing we'll do this week,
00:22:37but it's the most important thing they'll do in their lifetime.
00:22:59Anacron and Thespis, observe the mannerisms of each party.
00:23:13They hate each other.
00:23:17Their enmity is legendary, but war is expensive,
00:23:22and so we have called them onto the carpet to broker a peace.
00:23:29Thanks for the company.
00:23:40Good luck with the new job.
00:23:41I hope Harry Selden is worth the trip.
00:23:43Thanks.
00:23:49Cute.
00:23:54Race, race, race.
00:23:56Where are you?
00:23:58Hmm.
00:23:59That's me.
00:24:05What?
00:24:06That's me, race.
00:24:08Oh.
00:24:09I work for Harry.
00:24:12Doctor Selden.
00:24:14Baggage blame is this way.
00:24:15No.
00:24:16No.
00:24:17This is all I have.
00:24:19Oh, okay.
00:24:21Then the rest of the planet is this way.
00:24:28Supposed to be a perfect replica.
00:24:29Not that we know under the outer shell.
00:24:33Half of level 64 is just servers running skies.
00:24:39Is there still a seer church here on Trantul?
00:24:42Down there, I think.
00:24:44Level 22.
00:24:45I'd like to see it.
00:24:48I'd like to see it.
00:24:52What?
00:24:54Sorry, I've...
00:24:55I've never met anyone from Cinex before.
00:24:59An expression of compassion and stewardship.
00:25:12The mural of souls.
00:25:15Worked on every day by the senior member of the genetic dynasty.
00:25:18The mural depicts the fourth century age of peace and the galactic family.
00:25:23Notice the active chrome.
00:25:25How the pigment subtly moves.
00:25:27Provincial ambassador Zendem.
00:25:36Do you have a question or a comment about the mural?
00:25:40We were just marveling at the Empire's benevolent reach.
00:25:44For it is a marvel.
00:25:46Hmm.
00:25:47Are you praying?
00:26:09No.
00:26:09Why?
00:26:09Your lips were moving.
00:26:12Yeah, um, when I'm nervous, I can't find.
00:26:22Mary said you'd want to see this.
00:26:39Gail, meet Harry.
00:26:51Dr. Selden.
00:26:54I am so honored you invited me here.
00:26:57What did you think of the Imperial Library?
00:27:00It's amazing.
00:27:01So many books in one place.
00:27:03I imagine books were hard to come by on Cinex.
00:27:07Please, sit.
00:27:09So, you know Kale's ninth proof of folding.
00:27:19Yes, I couldn't have solved a Braxas without it.
00:27:22No one else thought to use it.
00:27:24Not in 500 years.
00:27:27Why do you think that is?
00:27:30Kale's writing is poetic.
00:27:33It's beautiful, but it's hard to imagine there's any rigor there.
00:27:37So, serious scholars don't read her.
00:27:39Why did you?
00:27:43I went to Kale for the rhythm of the words at first.
00:27:47I missed the math.
00:27:48But when I read Between the Lines, I realized she was proposing a radical theory about rings of integers in non-Archimedian local fields.
00:27:57Indeed she was.
00:27:58It does make me wonder, though, how you managed to stumble across Kale's ninth proof in the first place, given where you were.
00:28:07This isn't a crime here.
00:28:15I was lonely.
00:28:18Almost no one there thought like I thought.
00:28:22But math doesn't take sides.
00:28:24It doesn't judge.
00:28:24I imagine you were lonely.
00:28:26A mind like yours in a place like that.
00:28:38Kale's original proof manuscript, written in her native Thraxian.
00:28:42They're going to arrest me tomorrow. And you.
00:28:46They're going to arrest me tomorrow. And you.
00:29:02What?
00:29:03It's almost a certainty.
00:29:05Arrest? Why?
00:29:06There's a non-zero chance it won't happen.
00:29:09It's not a number worth discussing.
00:29:12No, this has to be a mistake.
00:29:14People, why, Gail?
00:29:16Numbers don't.
00:29:16Are you familiar with my work, Psychohistory?
00:29:19Every mathematician has read your...
00:29:21Do you agree with the concept?
00:29:23In theory, but I don't know what it has to do with...
00:29:25Oh, it's not a theory.
00:29:26It's the destiny of the human race expressed in numbers.
00:29:29And it's the reason the Empire will take us.
00:29:31They're worried you can predict the future.
00:29:34They're worried people believe I can.
00:29:35And they don't like the future, I predict.
00:29:38But just what?
00:29:42Trantor is going to be destroyed.
00:29:44The Empire will fall.
00:29:45You understand?
00:29:46These aren't things I'm anxious to tell people.
00:29:49It's just what the math tells me.
00:29:50Why let me come all this way just to arrest me?
00:29:55That's a good question.
00:29:56You tell me.
00:30:05Because I solved Abraxas.
00:30:31They think I'm the only one who can prove you wrong.
00:30:35And you are, if I was.
00:30:37But I'm not.
00:30:39Did you know all this when you were showing me the sites?
00:30:41There's more at stake here than you can imagine, Gail.
00:30:43I risked my life coming here.
00:30:49And now you want me to risk it again just to support your numbers.
00:30:52That's not entirely accurate, is it, Gail?
00:30:55You left Synax one step ahead of arrest yourself.
00:30:58So you know math is never just numbers.
00:31:00In the wrong hands, it's a weapon.
00:31:03In the right hands, deliverance.
00:31:07Go.
00:31:14Get some sleep.
00:31:16It should take the most of the night to divine your hotel.
00:31:19We'll talk soon.
00:31:21I know it's not the prize you came here for.
00:31:25But it will have to do.
00:31:27I can't keep this.
00:31:28Of course you can.
00:31:29This building will burn one day.
00:31:33Stealing is a mercy.
00:31:34I've read all his work.
00:31:52It's like a history.
00:31:52I just never imagined he'd use it this way.
00:31:56The Empire isn't going to hurt you.
00:31:58They need you.
00:31:59You don't know that.
00:32:00And neither does he.
00:32:01No, you haven't seen it.
00:32:04When a planet wants you dead, you die.
00:32:09Ambassador Xander, planet Anakreon, outer reach.
00:32:13Ashekdi, Udehi Majespite, Empire.
00:32:21Carved from the oldest tree in the Talon forest.
00:32:26The same wood used to carve the bow of Anakreon's greatest hunter, Larkin Cain.
00:32:31Thank you, Ambassador.
00:32:32Did you enjoy the Mural of Souls?
00:32:36Yes, Empire.
00:32:37I have never seen anything like it.
00:32:41Honored diplomat Shea and Shea.
00:32:43Planet Thespis, outer reach.
00:32:46Falaji lukuzum elais ajaraar.
00:32:48Theigin Empire.
00:32:50A Thespian book of ablution.
00:32:55The filigree was recently smithed to honor the Imperial Peace.
00:33:00Thank you, honored diplomat.
00:33:03And thank you both delegations for making the journey to Trantor.
00:33:07I thought you had a choice.
00:33:09For nine centuries, the Anthor Belt Agreement served your planets well.
00:33:15Last year, Thespis identified a rogue asteroid which they believe drifted from the area governed by the agreement.
00:33:21We took no official position.
00:33:26Just our ten percent.
00:33:28Anakreon believes Thespis acts in bad faith.
00:33:33The Empire believes Imperial blood has been shed on a cold rock 50,000 light years from home.
00:33:41For any of these three beliefs, a thousand wars have been fought.
00:33:51The next days will determine if there will be another.
00:33:57Respect and enjoy the peace.
00:34:01Respect and enjoy the peace.
00:34:11Brother Don, what do you make of that?
00:34:21The Thespis want to remind you how important the Anthor Belt asteroids are to their religion.
00:34:27But look there.
00:34:28In the metal filigree.
00:34:29The pattern in the sigil is made of heavy palladium.
00:34:33The metal from the rogue asteroid.
00:34:35How much would you say of the sigil?
00:34:37Maybe a fifth of it?
00:34:39Closer to a quarter.
00:34:41Currently, the Thespans tithe ten percent of the mind ore to us.
00:34:45This is their way of quietly saying they'll go all the way to twenty-five percent if we side with them.
00:34:51There's no metal here at all.
00:34:53Not even in the arrow tips.
00:34:55That's right.
00:34:58Why?
00:34:59The Anakrians need palladium.
00:35:01They have none.
00:35:03It's like the hunting song.
00:35:05It's not at all about hunting.
00:35:07Art is simply politics' sweeter tongue.
00:35:14The customs of the outer reach may seem idiosyncratic.
00:35:17But our attention to detail is how we maintain the peace.
00:35:22And if the people step out of line, we hit them with a big stick.
00:35:27Mm-hmm.
00:35:32Selden.
00:35:33And the girl.
00:35:36Don't overthink the stick.
00:35:40The Sia Church.
00:35:41Do we have time?
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:54She can sit.
00:35:55He will stand.
00:35:58But he will need to disarm.
00:36:07The heretic and I will talk.
00:36:09Upon awakening.
00:36:20Upon awakening.
00:36:21We speak the words.
00:36:24The words make us seen.
00:36:26Do you know who I am?
00:36:27I know that she has torn the sleeper's words from her face and can't be seen by God.
00:36:34But do you know who I am?
00:36:36She has solved one of life's ancient puzzles and cheapened the worth of life into solving it.
00:36:41Of course I know.
00:36:46On Cinex, he's almost as famous as her new God, Selden.
00:36:50He's not a God.
00:36:51No, he is not.
00:36:54He will die as all men like him die.
00:36:58Unseen by God.
00:37:00As will his followers,
00:37:02as will she.
00:37:05Galdonik,
00:37:07I'll say this once.
00:37:09Because I am at highest ranking and only see a priest on this forsaken world.
00:37:15If you are in trouble,
00:37:19I can help you.
00:37:23Is that what you want?
00:37:24Is that what you want?
00:37:25Do you want me to stay?
00:37:52Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:37:55No.
00:37:57I'll be alright.
00:37:58I'll see you.
00:38:00Will you?
00:38:01Of course.
00:38:02Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:03Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:04Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:05Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:06Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:07Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:08Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:09Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:10Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:11Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:12Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:13Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:14Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:15Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:16Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:17Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:18Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:19Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:20Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:21Will that stop him from arresting me?
00:38:22some like to pray one last time did you eat no
00:38:52and
00:38:56and
00:39:00and
00:39:06and
00:39:12and
00:39:16what did you make of her they haven't gotten her yet yet what do you make of her she sold
00:39:42to Braxis owner I'm sure of that as for the other question we shall see
00:40:12my name is Rose
00:40:42Avakim Harry sent me where is he arrested as he predicted you've both been charged with high
00:40:54treason conspiracy to destabilize the Imperium this is a nightmare Harry wants you to know
00:41:01how sorry he is for involving you in this it's not his fault
00:41:05is it we can speak freely now once the Imperium learned of Harry's conclusions they made no
00:41:18secret of trying to disrupt the project did Harry bring me here as bait because I can prove him
00:41:24wrong he's not wrong Miss Dornick but yes on the bait board
00:41:29you all right hook hurts but I'm trying not to wriggle too much
00:41:55all rise
00:42:00the tribunal of Cleon the twelfth is convened
00:42:10you're exalted
00:42:12the offenders Dr. Harry Selden and Gail Dornick are accused of crimes so grave that they threaten
00:42:20not just Trantor but the entire galaxy's existence I will prove that Dr. Selden and his followers
00:42:27engaged in a conspiracy designed to destroy the confidence in our Empire
00:42:31Dr. Selden
00:42:35will you rise you hail from the world of Helicon yes yes will you state your current position here on Trantor
00:42:43I'm a professor of probability theory at Stirling University specifically the area of psychohistory
00:42:52define that for us please psychohistory is a predictive model designed to forecast the behavior
00:43:01of very large populations in plain spoken terms you claim to be able to predict the future well I
00:43:10don't know what you're going to have for dinner if that's what you're asking you know what I'm asking
00:43:15the Galactic Empire comprises some eight trillion individuals would you say that was a large enough
00:43:20sample to make a prediction it is and do you have a prediction for that particular sample I do
00:43:29indulge us Trantor and the Galactic Empire will lie in ruins within five centuries
00:43:37silence brethren accepting your statement for the moment can you prove it's true only to another
00:43:47mathematician conversant in ordinal analysis how convenient your truths are so esoteric they
00:43:57escape the grasp of nearly every citizen to science the Imperium is 12,000 years old doctor are we
00:44:06really to believe that it could be gone in just 500 maybe quicker quicker a rotten tree trunk appears
00:44:16strong until the storm breaks it in two consider recent events in the outer reach we're not here to
00:44:24consider any other the Empire will fall order will vanish interstellar wars will be endless
00:44:3510,000 worlds reduced to radioactive cinders nothing we do can prevent this
00:44:44this period of barbarism how long do you claim it will last 30,000 years advocate I submit to the court
00:44:59the dr. Selden's predictions are actually intended to destroy public confidence I'm not a revolutionary well
00:45:08then what are you you've already said the future cannot be changed so what exactly is the purpose of your
00:45:16project I'm trying to soften the fall it cannot be prevented this massive events rushing to meet us
00:45:28but we can shorten the dark ages that follow how much if we embrace your plan how much we should be in the dark for a thousand years advocate and if that is all
00:45:45that is all we should thank the gods for it
00:45:52my name's not really Gerald but you can keep calling me that we've been watching you for some time the moment you solve the Abraxas conjecture in fact I brought you a gift
00:45:59he calls it the prime radiant it's beautiful isn't it he claims it contains all of his predictions and the
00:46:06the abraxas conjecture in fact I brought you a gift he calls it the prime radiant it's beautiful isn't it he claims it contains all of his predictions and the
00:46:26the empire expressed as a mathematical equation did he allow you to examine it
00:46:33did he allow you to examine it
00:46:35no
00:46:37now don't you think that's curious he devises a theory so opaque that no one in the galaxy can understand it and when he finds an individual who can he doesn't allow her to look behind the curtain why
00:46:45because history is littered with charlatans and false messiahs
00:46:52what if he's telling the truth what if psycho history is real
00:46:55if his equations are flawed you have a moral obligation to expose them
00:47:00and if they hold true
00:47:06disavow them and go home and I promise you empire will find a way to express his gratitude
00:47:19I'll make the calculus simple for you gail if you say harry's a liar he dies if you don't you die
00:47:26so we should just all bury our heads in the sand then
00:47:29if his equations hold true then empire will set about solving the problem as we always have
00:47:34without terrifying trillions of people
00:47:37and I should believe in you a spy
00:47:40you should believe in the minds that built trantor
00:47:43built the jump drive that built the star bridge
00:47:45where I come from they call those scientists not politicians
00:47:49I know where you come from Dale
00:47:53they were called heretics and drowned
00:47:57I also know what happened on the jump ship
00:48:01during the jump
00:48:04you were awake
00:48:06you were aware
00:48:09why did you lie to me about it?
00:48:11I don't know
00:48:14it scares me
00:48:16what does?
00:48:18being different
00:48:20we're all different Miss Dorney
00:48:22my sister didn't speak until she was seven
00:48:25even then just nouns
00:48:27but you're something else
00:48:29and if you don't know what it is I urge you to figure it out before someone else does
00:48:33and uses it against you
00:48:46I don't know
00:48:48I don't know
00:48:49but you're the only two
00:48:51but you have to be able to pick a point
00:48:52because you better know
00:48:53and if you don't know
00:48:54what I'm trying to figure out
00:48:55then you're looking at
00:48:57what happens
00:48:58you think
00:48:59what happens
00:49:00when I'm doing
00:49:01I'm just getting into it
00:49:02and I'm not relying on
00:49:03what happens
00:49:04and it's doing
00:49:06so
00:49:07that happens
00:49:08and it's just
00:49:09that we need
00:49:10people
00:49:11are
00:49:12working
00:49:13here
00:49:14You claim your plan can reduce the coming darkness.
00:49:32How?
00:49:34The ancients are rumored to have built a repository for the world's wisdom.
00:49:38According to myth, it burnt down.
00:49:40I'm proposing something less centralized.
00:49:42An encyclopedia Galactica.
00:49:46After the fall, a civilization climbs from the ashes.
00:49:52The coming generations will have something to build upon.
00:49:56A foundation.
00:49:58They won't have to reinvent the wheel.
00:50:01The knowledge will already exist.
00:50:04But it isn't just knowledge we'd be saving, but humanity's story.
00:50:08Our story.
00:50:15Trantor already has an imperial library.
00:50:18For how long?
00:50:20Well, that statement does bring us to the heart of the matter.
00:50:23You said you could prove your theorem to someone conversant in ordinal analysis.
00:50:31Galdonig, please rise.
00:50:32Approach the dais, if you would.
00:50:45You're from Synax, correct?
00:50:47We should say that.
00:50:49I am.
00:50:50You've had your prayer stones removed.
00:50:52You almost look like one of us.
00:50:53My understanding of your world is that to remove the prayer stones is to break with the seer church.
00:51:00Is that right?
00:51:01That is church doctrine, yes.
00:51:03Tell me, are they still killing scientists and mathematicians?
00:51:08If you're talking about the purge, then...
00:51:10The church's term is the cleanse, your exalted.
00:51:16When was it, according to church doctrine, that it stopped being heresy to study math?
00:51:21It never stopped.
00:51:23And yet, you solved the Abraxas conjecture?
00:51:27Yes.
00:51:27On a world where they burned the universities down.
00:51:31You must have been lonely there.
00:51:33I can imagine how it must have felt to be recognized by Dr. Harry Seldon.
00:51:40To be given a job to be valued.
00:51:43What do you want to know?
00:51:44I want to know if there is any possible way you can be objective about Harry Seldon.
00:51:54I don't know.
00:51:55Maybe I can't.
00:51:57Maybe that's why he brought me here.
00:51:59Last night, you were given a chance to assess the accuracy of Dr. Seldon's claims.
00:52:05Did you arrive at a conclusion?
00:52:09Yes.
00:52:11And?
00:52:16Dr. Seldon's calculations are correct.
00:52:20The Empire is dying.
00:52:24Kill them.
00:52:27End this.
00:52:29Harry, the sky.
00:52:45Something's wrong with the star bridge.
00:52:47Please.
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:15Okay.
00:53:15expected return to home planet three days please respect and enjoy the peace

00:57:02It cut 50 levels down.
00:57:03Emperor, shut up!
00:57:05There are reports of Anacrian and Thespian war cries before the explosion.
00:57:22Songs of rebellion.
00:57:23We had no part to this.
00:57:25We will, of course, be returning your gifts.
00:57:3086,900, 63,000.
00:57:34What are you doing here?
00:57:51I petitioned the committee.
00:57:55They're saying 100 million dead.
00:57:59The outer reaches may be in rebellion.
00:58:02The attacks changed everything.
00:58:07Harry said there's a non-zero chance you'll die, but non-zero is still a number.
00:58:12They're gonna kill Harry.
00:58:13Harry, you know, you don't have to die with him.
00:58:18I've already said his math was right.
00:58:21Say you looked at it again.
00:58:24Say you were wrong.
00:58:26You've lost faith.
00:58:27I'm sorry.
00:58:29She doesn't need that.
00:58:39Get her.
00:58:44Shall I speak first?
00:58:46Or will you?
00:58:48By all means, Dr. Selden.
00:58:51Speak.
00:58:52You hold us responsible.
00:58:54How could I not?
00:58:55My science can predict societal actions, trends, not individual ones.
00:59:00But I'm not surprised it happened.
00:59:03Why is that?
00:59:04You're stretched too thin.
00:59:05That's why the kingdoms of the Outer Reach struck first.
00:59:10And who can blame them?
00:59:11Hmm?
00:59:13Sensing vulnerabilities, soon other players will begin to apply downward pressure.
00:59:17An exhortation from one of the galaxy's major religions is a given,
00:59:22or perhaps a homegrown, insurrection here on Trantor.
00:59:25Starbridge!
00:59:26Who did this?
00:59:28I don't know.
00:59:29Tell me why I shouldn't kill you and your followers.
00:59:33Right now.
00:59:34My followers aren't responsible.
00:59:35If you do, you'll be dead within the year.
00:59:40The prodigy speaks.
00:59:50So speak.
00:59:54Your agent, Gerald, asked me to check Dr. Selden's work.
00:59:58I went a little farther in the equation.
01:00:01If you kill him, the fall accelerates.
01:00:06That's a convenient data point for your son.
01:00:09Only he can shorten the darkness.
01:00:13Kill him, you kill Hope.
01:00:16Kill Hope.
01:00:18They kill you.
01:00:20Hmm.
01:00:23What are the odds?
01:00:24The only two people who can save the galaxy are in this room.
01:00:33And one of them is wrong.
01:00:36I agree.
01:00:37If the fall can be accelerated, can it not also be slowed?
01:00:45Yes.
01:00:46By a few centuries.
01:00:48Don't keep us in the dark.
01:00:50End Imperial cloning.
01:00:54Imperial cloning stopped the wars.
01:00:58Imperial cloning brought peace.
01:01:00Our genetic dynasty has reigned for almost four centuries.
01:01:04Surely you can understand the value in a younger mind who shares your intellect.
01:01:08Well, I see the value in difference in the new.
01:01:14You offer nothing new.
01:01:17Just a younger grape.
01:01:20From the same vine.
01:01:22Destined for the same old bottle.
01:01:25You can't save yourselves.
01:01:32But you can save your legacy.
01:01:35Yours or mine, Dr. Selden?
01:01:37How long did it take you?
01:01:58To trigger the Prime Radiant?
01:02:01I got it on the second try.
01:02:03Huh?
01:02:05You knew they'd offer it to me.
01:02:07Harry, when I looked at it, I...
01:02:15You know, I really thought they'd try and make it seem more of a fair fight,
01:02:20but they didn't bother, did they?
01:02:22Did we?
01:02:26The hook still hurting you.
01:02:29Xylus used the same phrase you did.
01:02:33I was lonely.
01:02:35They were listening.
01:02:36And you knew they were listening.
01:02:39They're listening now.
01:02:40Fine.
01:02:41What do you want them to hear?
01:02:44Abraxas was the bait.
01:02:46Not you.
01:02:48I just moved before they did.
01:02:51You have more agency here, Gail, than you realize.
01:02:54The Emperor has determined that your deaths are not the optimal outcome for the good of the Imperium.
01:03:20You will be allowed to refine your work on Psycho History, to build your foundation.
01:03:25But not on Trantor.
01:03:31Terminus.
01:03:32It is uninhabited.
01:03:35Sitting in the periphery, along the galaxy's outer reach.
01:03:39And Akryl and Thespis are also in the periphery.
01:03:41Yes, the barbarian kingdoms will be your neighbors.
01:03:44You will journey via slow ship.
01:03:47The Empire forbids you access to jump-drive technology.
01:03:50You're exiling us.
01:03:52On Terminus.
01:03:54You will not trouble Trantor.
01:03:55And there will be no disturbance of the Emperor's peace.
01:03:59The galaxy will know that you are fighting the Fall.
01:04:03If Psycho History proves fraudulent, your Foundation will be allowed to wither and vanish.
01:04:12And if it's successful, you'll co-opt it.
01:04:17And use it to bolster your regime.
01:04:23Terminus.
01:04:23I've never even heard of it.
01:04:25There's no reason you would.
01:04:26It's 50,000 light-years away.
01:04:29About a jump-drive, the journey there.
01:04:31Eight hundred and seventy-eight days.
01:04:33Approximately.
01:04:35We'll be fine.
01:04:36There'll be hardships.
01:04:38No question.
01:04:39Terminus.
01:04:41Orbit's a red dwarf.
01:04:42The seasons are extreme.
01:04:44Metal and mineral fall.
01:04:45You know it well.
01:04:49Exile was always the plan.
01:04:51Terminus was always the optimal locations.
01:04:55Out on the periphery.
01:04:56Imperial support without imperial eyes.
01:04:58It's perfect.
01:04:59How many others knew?
01:05:00Only Ra's.
01:05:01What you said to the emperor, how much farther into my mass did you look?
01:05:10What did you actually see?
01:05:12I couldn't quite figure it.
01:05:13So you lied.
01:05:14I hypothesized.
01:05:17On Senax, no one wanted to hear that our seas were rising.
01:05:20I thought if I could make people listen, that I could save them.
01:05:24Change is frightening.
01:05:26Especially to those in power.
01:05:28And I could feel the empire's fear.
01:05:30When I looked into the Prime Radiant, I could see the darkness.
01:05:36It took my breath away at first.
01:05:38It was crushing.
01:05:41But then I looked deeper and I could see this tiny sliver of light at the very end of it all.
01:05:48And I realized it's not the fall they're afraid of.
01:05:53It's the chance that your plan will actually succeed.
01:05:58It takes more power to build than to burn.
01:06:01And I want to build, Harry.
01:06:03You'll get your chance.
01:06:07This isn't the Foundation's first crisis and it won't be our last.
01:06:11Something tells me you already know what the next crisis will be.
01:06:16The emperor's peace will be maintained.
01:06:25From Senax to Trantor, now Terminus.
01:06:29You came here hoping to save your world.
01:06:31I'm asking you to dream bigger.
01:06:35Why stop at one world?
01:06:37Why not save the galaxy?
01:06:40Why not indeed?
01:07:01Harry had planned for it all.
01:07:13Things only he saw over the horizon.
01:07:19Psychohistory could forecast the behavior of entire populations with stunning accuracy.
01:07:24But when it came to individuals, things got murkier.
01:07:34No one could approach the vault.
01:07:37No one but an outlier like Salvo Harden.
01:07:39No one but an outlier like Salvo Harden.
01:07:41And I always wondered.
01:07:44When Harry was formulating his plan, did he realize the galaxy's fate would rest in what
01:07:50she found inside?
01:07:53I think he did.
01:07:54And I think that's what he feared the most.
01:07:58You weren't trying to surrender.
01:08:00It's not you.
01:08:00It's not you.
01:08:01It's a Tuesday night.
01:08:02It's a Christian.
01:08:02It was a Christian.
01:08:03And David, yeah.
01:08:04It was a Christian.
01:08:11Oh, God.
01:08:14It was a Christian.
01:08:15It was a Christian.
01:08:16It was an amazing thing.
01:08:16I had the experience of this coming.
01:08:17One is a Christian.
01:08:18The formality.
01:08:19It was a Christian.
01:08:20The book's a Christian.
01:08:21The French whispered in all.
01:08:21The Testament is such that much is a Christian.
01:08:22A Christian.
01:08:23What, how many teams have now?
