00:00Star Trek Discovery
00:30That's my uncle, Breen Pratmark of the Sixth Flight
00:34Wait, why didn't you kill him?
00:43He raised me
00:44You want to hate me? Fine
00:45I will not let anything happen to Michael or you
00:48Why me?
00:49To you, just about the only family I've got left
00:51Do you even know what you're after?
00:53Power beyond all comprehension
00:55If the Breen got a hold of that power, it would be catastrophic
00:59We'll be long gone by then
01:00Hey, the Federation can help you
01:05Can they erase an Erica?
01:06Mom!
01:07You do not have another play here
01:10This wasn't supposed to happen
01:18System shows it's a Terran warp pod
01:21Two life signs, sickbay equipment
01:22It's got to be a life support system
01:24It's more than luck
01:24Commander, can you grab them?
01:26Damn it, too late
01:27What are these?
01:29There are numbers in ancient Hallamnes
01:31One for each of the five powers
01:33A file at the same mark
01:35So the clue is in Tower 5
01:37It had a metal card attached
01:39With some kind of Betazoid text inscription
01:41Samus is analyzing it so we can see where to go next
01:44Excuse me, Captain
01:45We just got a message from Fed HQ
01:47The USS Locker just found Marlin Lock
01:50Admiral Vance requests that we jump to their location immediately
01:53Special offer, courier services
02:01A bit of time only
02:02Special offer, courier services
02:08A bit of time only
02:10Special offer, courier services
02:15A bit of time only
02:17It was broadcasting from pod on a loop
02:37Subspace frequency Epsilon 19
02:39That is a courier channel
02:40Special offer is code for SOS
02:43So she was hoping a courier would rescue them
02:46Luckily we got to them first
02:47Admiral Vance asked me to bring a team aboard Discovery
02:50To assist with security as you transfer me to Fed HQ
02:52All right
02:53Glad to have you with us, Commander
02:55Good to be back
02:56Maul had this stashed on her when we pulled her out
02:59Dr. Velick's diary
03:00They already have some of it on file
03:02But let's get started translating the rest
03:04It'll tell us everything we need to know about the progenitor's tech
03:06There's Romulan on our team
03:07In your area, it is off limits
03:09Hey, come on, hand off the jacket
03:10Look, you are not supposed to be here
03:14Yeah, I heard Maul and Larka beaming over
03:17Access is restricted
03:18No one in or out without the Admiral's okay
03:21They may know the things we don't about the clue trail
03:23Or what we'll find at the end of it
03:24I've spent more time with Maul than anyone
03:26So maybe I can get her to talk
03:29Report said she nearly killed you on the Enterprise
03:31But she didn't
03:32So, lots of trust there
03:34At least let me try
03:35Last time I saw you
03:36Also a personal situation
03:38You fired on Discovery with photon torpedoes
03:41And set off an isolated weapon
03:42And I've been working to make things right ever since
03:44That doesn't mean you're not a security risk
03:46How can you, Commander?
03:48Book has been instrumental in this mission so far
03:51Shut the way and help me out
03:53If we need help during our debrief, I'll find you
03:57He's a good man
04:09And I do trust him
04:11I know what he means to you
04:14So I went easy on him
04:16I'll be right back
04:23We're almost ready, Captain
04:27Beaming right into a bio bed
04:29Not a good sign
04:30Well, Locke is in bad shape
04:31It's a miracle he's even still alive
04:33And Maul?
04:34The lockerer reports she's dehydrated
04:36Half starved
04:37But still kicking
04:39Literally
04:40When we tried to separate them
04:41She went ballistic
04:42I'm not surprised
04:44We're modifying the containment field
04:46To hold them together
04:46Keeping them apart
04:48Will only put more stress on his system
04:49Okay
04:52Let's do this
04:53Captain Burnham to the USS Lockerer
04:56Ready for transfer
04:57Transporting now, Captain
05:00What are you doing?
05:06I'm giving him something for the pain
05:08And then I need to examine him
05:10We're gonna help him, Maul
05:12You did this to him
05:14Fierce as a suspect
05:15Keep both eyes open
05:17You know I will
05:18Guard, step back
05:27A word, Captain
05:39Lock is fading
05:43Some kind of vital organ
05:45Must have been hit
05:46But we don't know enough
05:47About Breen physiology
05:48To do much besides
05:50Ease his pain
05:51We have to do more
05:52Breen fugitive dying
05:54In Federation custody
05:55This is politically charged
05:57To say the least
05:57Tell me you have a plan
05:59I did a deep dive
06:00Into Dominion warrior
06:01Are medical research
06:02There is some evidence
06:03That the Breen are capable
06:04Of somatic cell regeneration
06:05In extreme cold
06:06So we located
06:07A captured Breen refrigeration unit
06:09In an old
06:10Fed HQ storage manifest
06:11And we may be able
06:12To use it
06:13To convert a biobed
06:14Into a low temperature
06:15ICU unit
06:15It's a long shot
06:17Do it
06:18I'll alert headquarters
06:19To have it ready
06:20Right now
06:20Commander Osh
06:33He'll bring us in
06:33For docking
06:34I'm sorry Captain
06:35They're asking us to hold
06:36I wonder why
06:38Captain
06:39We're receiving a hail
06:40From Admiral Vance
06:41He's requesting to speak
06:42With you before we dock
06:43Put him through
06:44Apparently it's
06:45Classified
06:46I'll meet him
06:52In my ready room
06:53Rainer
06:54You have the comb
06:55Admiral
07:00I'm having the refrigeration
07:03Unit beamed over
07:04Maul and Locke
07:06Will remain in your custody
07:07I thought we were
07:07Transferring them to you
07:08Change the plans
07:09Once you receive it
07:11I need you to
07:12Jump immediately
07:12Get them as far away
07:15As you can
07:15Sir what's happening
07:16You receive this
07:20Rain
07:23You're running
07:25Through translation
07:26Your federation
07:27Has captured two fugitives
07:29Who have incurred
07:30In Erega
07:30Be ready to hand them
07:32Over upon our
07:32Imminent arrival
07:33Scans show
07:35A green dreadnought
07:36Heading this way
07:37At maximum warp
07:37President Rillick
07:39Is at a diplomatic summit
07:40On Teleprime
07:41For her security
07:42She'll remain there
07:43All non-essential
07:44Personnel
07:45Will shelter in quarters
07:46How did the Breen
07:47Even know we have them
07:48They must have
07:48Intercepted our communication
07:50With the Locker
07:50Goes without saying
07:51That handing them over
07:52Is not an option
07:53Can allow the Breen
07:54To become aware
07:55Of the progenitor's technology
07:56So we jump away
07:57With Maul and Locke
07:57And then what
07:58You just deny
07:59The federation has them
08:00By all means
08:01By all means, Captain
08:01Speak freely
08:03Apologies, Admiral
08:04To your point
08:06The Breen are too smart
08:07For games
08:07But having Maul and Locke
08:08Elsewhere
08:08Will at least limit
08:09The immediate risk
08:10And force them
08:11To consider how far
08:12They're willing to push us
08:13In order to fulfill
08:13This Erega
08:14Well, with all due respect
08:15Sir, we can't keep
08:16Moving indefinitely
08:17They will figure it out
08:19Eventually
08:19They'll start tracking
08:20Our jump signature
08:20They'll leave
08:22Who knows
08:22What kind of carnage
08:23In their wake
08:23As they follow us
08:24And keep following us
08:25Do you have
08:26An alternative proposal?
08:27Yeah, let Discovery stay
08:29Force them to deal with us
08:31Right now
08:32And find a solution
08:34It'll come to that
08:36Eventually anyway
08:37Fair enough
08:39Alright, Discovery stays
08:46But Maul and Locke
08:48Will remain on board
08:49Just in case

09:49I love this voice
10:50Anything that can help us?
10:51There has been no official contact since before the burn, so recent intelligence is limited.
10:56We do know they have experienced unrest since the death of their emperor.
11:00Six Primarchs are currently at war for control of the Imperium.
11:05Do we know which one is coming?
11:07We do not.
11:08Doesn't matter.
11:09All the brain are the same.
11:11The word diplomacy is not even in their vocabulary.
11:14Then we shall teach it to them.
11:15That's more of a pipe dream than a tactic.
11:17You're not quite a desire for understanding with lack of nerve.
11:22This faction seeks power.
11:24There must be something we can offer that they will perceive as beneficial enough to negate an Erega.
11:29An Erega is a blood bounty.
11:32If they need to start a war to fulfill it, they will.
11:35Let's not forget what happened the last time Breen entered Federation space.
11:38Starfleet was caught flat-footed.
11:40That's not going to happen this time.
11:42I've called back some of our ships as a deterrent.
11:45We'll mount a defense if need be.
11:47We just need to keep things calm until backup arrives.
11:50Something doesn't add up here.
11:53They don't need to come into Federation territory to make this demand.
11:56It's a risk for them, too.
11:58Would they really do it just to fulfill an Erega?
12:01You believe there is another reason they want Maolin Locke?
12:04I think there could be.
12:06As you've said before, the most powerful weapon in diplomacy is information.
12:11We need more.
12:16Captain Saru is currently on a diplomatic mission not far from Breen's space.
12:20In a recent report, he noted that their factional wars stem from a succession dispute,
12:26competing claims from disparate branches of the royal bloodline.
12:29A Primarch of the royal line wouldn't need Locke for succession,
12:32so what purpose would he and Maul serve them?
12:35It doesn't matter.
12:36None of it will matter if they think they can take us.
12:40My suggestion, we install Thuron emitters on the hull.
12:43Used with duranium shadows that'll give the impression that we're armed to the gills.
12:47At least give them pause.
12:50Or incite them to attack.
12:53So what?
12:55We should just stick our necks out on the chopping block?
12:57Commander Raynor, we're on the same team here.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Am I the only one familiar with the Romulan saying,
13:02never turn your back on a Breen?
13:04There is nothing to be gained from xenophobic comments.
13:07I'm not the xenophobic one, Madam President.
13:10To the Breen, genocide is a necessity.
13:13Their version of a Prime Directive.
13:15Commander, wait for me outside.
13:17Madam President, Admiral,
13:36if Maul and Locke have information that might be helpful,
13:38we have to get it out of them sooner rather than later.
13:41I was with them on the ISS.
13:43I got a sense of how they operate.
13:45I think I have a shot.
13:46Then you better take it.
13:56Captain.
13:58Make sure they keep you number one in line.
14:01Can't afford any missteps when the Breen get here.
14:04Understood.
14:06Madam President.
14:16If Benz thinks a defensive position is anything short of an invitation to be decimated...
14:22No, the Admiral is doing the best he can with what he has.
14:25And he's as concerned as I am about your ability to handle this today.
14:29Neither of you understand what you're up against here.
14:31But I suspect you do.
14:34This seems personal, Rainer.
14:35But if you have valuable intel, you need to share it.
14:38I already said what I had to say.
14:42I apologize for the tone.
14:44Captain.
14:48Attention all personnel.
14:49Those who have not received the Ronald Rebusters...
14:51Dismissed.
14:53Area 9 at low 900 hours.
14:55Lieutenant Gallo, place us in yellow alert.
15:01All hands prepare for the imminent arrival of the Breen.
15:05Hey, Tilly.
15:06Wait, Tilly.
15:08I was looking for you at the science lab and they said you were taking a shuttle to Fed HQ?
15:13Yeah, if the Breen are going to attack, my cadets are going to need me.
15:15We need you here.
15:17Look, this was attached to the clue we retrieved from the Fifth Tower on Halemno.
15:21It's a Beta Zed logo and the text translates to the labyrinths of the mind.
15:26So if you and Adira could focus on the meaning of that phrase,
15:30then I can figure out the properties of the metal.
15:33Paul, why are we talking about the clue right now?
15:35The last time the Breen paid a visit to the Federation, they destroyed an entire city.
15:39Which is exactly why we need to keep focusing on this.
15:42Look, the Mitchell is out there and their orders are to stand by in case...
15:48Well, in case they receive an encrypted message from us.
15:55You mean in case we can't complete the mission because we're all dead?
15:59This clue is the most important thing in the Federation right now.
16:02We have to get the Predator's power and keep it safe.
16:05And if the Breen or someone else gets it...
16:08And honestly, VET HQ is the safest place your cadets can be right now.
16:16So...
16:17Can I let Adira know you're on your way to help?
16:23Yes.
16:24Of course.
16:27Dr. Culber.
16:28How's he doing?
16:30Improving.
16:30Slowly.
16:31The blend of sub-zero gases promotes a strong immune response you need to the Breen.
16:35Can I talk to him?
16:36You can try.
16:44The Breen are on their way.
16:47They demanded we handed you both over.
16:50You must have foreseen the possibility they would intercept your SOS.
16:54What was your plan?
16:55Always been partial to a minute.
17:00On the ISS, you said you were trying to buy your way out of the area to go with the Progenitor's power.
17:06Is there anything else they would accept as payment?
17:09If there was, we would have paid it.
17:11A Dreadnought, the most powerful worship class in the entire Breen Imperium, is coming all the way to Federation Headquarters for your Aragha.
17:28This Primark really wants you.
17:30Why?
17:30We could have let you die out there.
17:41Instead, we're risking our lives to help you.
17:44If you want to help us, let us out of here.
17:46Take our chances on our own.
17:47With him and his condition, you would have no chance.
17:50Some things are worse than death.
17:51What's worse than death?
17:53This conversation, for starters.
18:00Primark doesn't actually plan to kill you, does he?
18:06Who are you?
18:09His child.
18:11Sibling.
18:12Cousin.
18:13What does he really want with you?
18:25Fine.
18:25I'll tell you what he wants.
18:27The throne.
18:28I'm guessing somehow you can get it for him?
18:31If he can have you under his thumb again?
18:33And for someone who fought for their freedom, that would be worse than death, wouldn't it?
18:35Oh, it's you, isn't it?
18:51You are the bloodline, not the Primark.
18:54He can't succeed without you.
18:58Yeah.
19:00Lucky me.
19:02Direct descendant of the Emperor.
19:05The scion of the Brain Imperium.
19:10Makes me sick to even say it.
19:14So do me a favor.
19:17When my uncle gets here.
19:20Spit in his face for me.
19:35I found a match for the phrase inscribed upon the metal card.
19:43Labyrinth of the Mind is the title of a Betazoid manuscript.
19:47Written in 2371 by Dr. Marina D'Rex.
19:50That's one of the scientists who helped hide the progenitor's tech.
19:53Any chance you can source us a copy?
19:54Only a few thousand were published in its time.
19:57I don't see that any remain available.
19:59There has to be one somewhere.
20:02Looking more closely, I don't believe a copy will be helpful.
20:05The punctuation of the Betazoid symbols point to this being the root text.
20:09That is, the original handwritten manuscript.
20:11The original manuscript.
20:13What, any chance that still exists?
20:15If it does, I have no record of it.
20:17Fantastic.
20:18For a second there, I thought we had a gimme.
20:21Zora, could you do a scan of Starfleet personnel files to see if there's anyone with expertise
20:26on ancient manuscripts?
20:28Well, that's a good idea.
20:29Of course, Anton.
20:30One moment.
20:31What?
20:36Nothing.
20:36Just remember how scared you were to be on the bridge when we went to alumno?
20:40You did a great job.
20:42I don't know about that.
20:43No, you did.
20:44And you're doing a great job with this.
20:45You're just helping us find the glue.
20:48It just seems like, in general, you're really finding your way, and you shouldn't be afraid
20:51to take on more.
20:52You know?
20:53You have it in you.
20:57Well, thanks, teach.
21:01I have found someone with relevant experience.
21:04Her curriculum vitae lists prior employment as a rare and antiquarian bookseller.
21:09Uh, the who?
21:10Commander Reno.
21:14Uh, Commander Reno, uh, we could use your help.
21:17You can talk while I work.
21:18This targeting matrix is screwy.
21:21Gotta have accurate weapons if we start shooting it out with the brain.
21:24Everyone seems to think that's inevitable.
21:26It's the whole faceless helmet vibe.
21:28Truncheons, jackboots.
21:30Where's the nuance?
21:32Yeah, so we are working on the latest clue.
21:35Uh, it points to a rare manuscript.
21:37We were thinking, since you used to work with those, um...
21:39Uh, I may have padded my resume with that one.
21:43Truth is, I used to move hard-to-find folios for a shady antiquarian archivist.
21:48Try saying that one five times fast.
21:51I'm so sorry.
21:51You were a smuggler?
21:52I smuggled.
21:53I had a lot of odd jobs before I committed to Starfleet.
21:57VIP shuttle pilot, deep mercury welder, bartender at a cozy little dive on Ashlon 4.
22:05I'm actually supposed to pick up a guest shift tonight at Red's Lounge.
22:09You haven't lived until you've tried my seven of limes.
22:12Wow, you've really got around.
22:16Uh, not, I'm sorry.
22:18Not like that.
22:19Oh, yeah.
22:20Like that.
22:21All right.
22:22Well, story for another time.
22:23Um, we are looking for a very specific manuscript.
22:25It is a handwritten Betazoid text called Labyrinths of the Mind.
22:30Never heard of it.
22:32There's a lot of places something like that could end up.
22:35Private collections, museums, and a landfill.
22:39We can't hit a dead end here.
22:41Once we figure this out, it'll take us to the final clue.
22:43No, no, no.
22:45We'll figure it out.
22:46Walk with me.
22:47I've got shield emitters to overhaul before the brain.
22:49Attention all personnel.
22:51We are Code One Alpha.
22:52Code One Alpha.
22:54Shit, they're here.
22:55Attention all personnel.
23:20We are now in a yellow alert.
23:22Madam President, Admiral, that brain ship.
23:25That's the same ship that we saw in the time block cycle.
23:28The one that destroyed Federation headquarters.
23:32What are the scans telling us?
23:35Scans can't penetrate their shields, Admiral.
23:39Hail them.
23:40I do hope some actionable intelligence came from your visit with Locke.
23:44Yes.
23:45Without him, this Primark has no claim to the throne.
23:47We just need time to figure out how to use that information to get them to leave.
23:50Peacefully.
23:51They've answered our hails, sir.
24:04Translating.
24:06I am Primark Ruin.
24:08I demand you transfer the fugitives to my ship.
24:10President Tarina of Navarre.
24:13I've been empowered by Federation President Relic to greet you and lead this negotiation.
24:17There will be no negotiation.
24:20The fugitives, immediately.
24:22Locke and Maul are currently receiving medical treatment.
24:25And any extradition orders would need to be drafted and approved.
24:29Four hours should suffice.
24:31One hour?
24:31Failure to comply will be considered an act of war.
24:40Extradition orders.
24:42It seemed preferable to claims of a Tribble infestation.
24:48You said you needed time to figure out how to use what you learned from Locke and Maul in order to resolve this peacefully.
24:54You have one hour.
24:57I do have an idea.
24:58Okay, Zora, um, eliminate star systems that aren't rich in ionized beryllium or gadolinium-154.
25:07Actually, no, um, try removing all systems that contain alloys, minerals, or compounds that are not detected in the Betazoid card.
25:19Here you are, Commander.
25:22So much for my shortcut.
25:23Hey, there you are.
25:25I was looking for you earlier.
25:26They said that you were with Tilly, and I should check back.
25:28Yeah, we're dividing and conquering with the clue.
25:31I'm working on where the card came from, and Tilly and Adira are figuring out the phrase.
25:37What do you need?
25:37I want to help.
25:39For me to work.
25:40Really?
25:41Yeah.
25:42I could ask you.
25:43I'm shy of it sitting around, so until someone needs me to pick up a phaser and take on some breen, I'm all yours.
25:48Okay, great.
25:49Well, not the taking on breen part.
25:52Hopefully it won't come to that, but, um, you can help find anything that will point us toward where in space this was made.
26:00Okay, so I take it these are our possible origin points?
26:03Yeah, well, there used to be more of them.
26:07A needle in a haystack, then.
26:08Try and needle in a hundred million haystacks.
26:11Okay.
26:13Let's start looking.
26:15Yeah.
26:23Commander.
26:25How's it strategizing?
26:26We're running out of time.
26:29What do you know about breen leadership, succession specifically?
26:32Not much.
26:34Why?
26:35We know that the primark needs Locke to claim the throne.
26:38I think we can use that.
26:39I'm just not sure how.
26:43Dealing with a culture that we know nearly nothing about.
26:48Rainer, you do.
26:51You had a strong reaction earlier, and I didn't fully understand it, but then I did a little digging and learned that Keleron was used as a breen outpost for a number of years.
27:00You're home.
27:08That was a long time ago.
27:12I don't...
27:14It's not something I like to talk about.
27:23Can you at least tell me if you had any run-ins with a primark rune?
27:28No.
27:29Another primark controlled our planet.
27:36To haul.
27:38Showed up.
27:41No warning.
27:44Ships filled the sky like a swarm of gold or beetles.
27:49Chose it as a forward base.
27:52Used it as a munitions resupply hunt.
27:54To haul clear-cut our forests, poison our seas, blackened our skies.
28:03I don't even know how many died.
28:07Collateral damage in whatever war she was fighting.
28:11We went up a hell of a fight.
28:13But I'm the only one in my family that made it.
28:20I'm sorry.
28:22Yeah.
28:23Yeah.
28:26Breen cannot be negotiated with.
28:30Not when they want something.
28:38We just need to get Rune to believe we can offer him something he wants more than one of them want.
28:41And I think you just gave us a way.
28:53Thank you for talking.
28:54I used to have tons of contacts in the book trade.
29:08800 years ago, anyway.
29:10They're all pushing up daisies now.
29:12Got anything else that might help narrow things down?
29:15Uh, manuscripts one of a kind.
29:17Any copies would have been lost a long time ago.
29:19And the original might be all that we have left, like, anywhere.
29:23Are you sure it's a one of a kind?
29:25Um, as far as we know, why?
29:26Then Dr. Derrick sort of wanted to protect it if it leads to the next clue.
29:31Try the Eternal Gallery and Archive.
29:34A mouthful, I know.
29:35We just called it the Archive.
29:37It's like a bank, but it protects knowledge.
29:39Neutral.
29:40All worlds welcome.
29:42That sort of thing.
29:43Lots of rarities go there for safekeeping.
29:45Yeah, well, check it out.
29:46Where is it?
29:47In space.
29:48Somewhere.
29:48Stay safe by always being on the move.
29:52Did you say the title was engraved on a piece of metal?
29:55Yeah, does that mean something?
29:57Well, it might be the library card.
30:00That's how they granted access.
30:02Sounds like something out of a holodeck adventure for the Littles, right?
30:07The Archive.
30:08We're on it.
30:10Good luck.
30:11Back at you.
30:16Good news.
30:16You're not out of the woods, but you are stable.
30:23You know, your captain thinks she can play rumor.
30:26But it's a mistake to assume Breen think like humans do.
30:31We're nothing like you.
30:33Not even close.
30:34Well, I believe however different we are, there's always common ground.
30:39We found that with Maul.
30:41Maul loves me because of our differences.
30:46Not despite them.
30:47I didn't even think that was possible.
30:55You're straining yourself.
30:59Are you done priding him?
31:00He needs to rest.
31:01We cannot let your uncle get us.
31:16Not before we have a pretendator's tech to burn with.
31:19The Federation will never give us up.
31:21Stuck in a break is just another kind of stuck.
31:23You need to make a run for it.
31:28I'm not leaving you.
31:29I'll get the docks to lower the containment shield.
31:31You go steal the shuttle.
31:33Beam me on board.
31:34We'll fly the hell away from here.
31:36Just like that.
31:37You have a better idea.
31:40What's your plan for the field?
31:44Let's just say...
31:45you're not gonna like it.
31:48I love you.
32:01I love you too, Greenon.
32:02I love you.
32:18Are we ready?
32:27As we planned.
32:30Hail the Breen ship.
32:33Tell them we're prepared to hand over the fugitives.
32:36Hail now, Admiral.
32:37Welcome aboard, Primark.
32:58I'm Admiral Vance.
33:00We've already met President Serena.
33:01The Primark demands, where are his prisoners?
33:13As the hour given is not yet finished,
33:16we would like to use what little time remains
33:18as an opportunity for conversation.
33:23The Primark declares he has no need for conversation.
33:27He wants what is his.
33:29No, what he said was he has no need to speak
33:31with spineless, insignificant, awkwardness.
33:38A more accurate translation, yes?
33:45Hear our offer.
33:4845 metric tons of raw dilithium
33:51in trade for lifting the Aragorn.
33:54I will speak in your tongue
33:56so there can be no misunderstanding.
33:57The only payment for a blood bounty is blood.
34:01How much is spilled today will be up to you.
34:05We would prefer to avoid conflict.
34:08Therefore, we will offer you one final chance
34:10to consider our request.
34:12You offer me?
34:15It is an insult.
34:17We tried to engage in diplomatic negotiations
34:19and have been refused, rebuffed, and now ridiculed.
34:23So we must make a difficult decision.
34:25Instead of delivering the prisoners to you,
34:27we will accept an offer we have received from Primark Tahal.
34:35Tahal!
34:36Captain Burnham and Commander Raynor have been the leads
34:38on negotiations with her.
34:40She has also taken interest in Locke.
34:43Having him by her side would greatly bolster her claim to the throne,
34:46which is also the hope for you.
34:48This was never about an Aragorn.
34:50It's about power.
34:51You lie.
35:01Tahal would rather gnaw her own flesh
35:03than strike a deal with the Federation.
35:04She was fierce in her negotiations,
35:07but fair in her terms.
35:09This bluff wouldn't fool a hot thing.
35:14I know Tahal well.
35:17I know she named her flagship the Tau Ceti
35:19after a lethal viper with a slow-acting venom.
35:23Her favorite way of killing her enemies
35:24when she wants to watch them die by degree.
35:27That's how she took my kinfolk on Kelerin
35:29when they rose against her at the Twin Gates.
35:33Would have killed me too, but...
35:36she said she liked the way I fought.
35:39Ferocious, relentless, almost like a breen.
35:43Is how she put it.
35:44Do you still think we're bluffing, Primark?
35:47Bring me Locke!
35:48Or I will blast this station into atoms.
35:51You would not, in fact, take such action
35:54for fear it might harm him.
35:56A risk we know you cannot afford.
36:01Hey, Starfleet.
36:03I need to talk to Captain Burnham.
36:05Commander Nan will return momentarily.
36:11Not her.
36:13Burnham.
36:14Okay.
36:15What's the problem here?
36:15I already told him I want to talk to Captain Burnham.
36:20Lower the field.
36:24That's an entire day's dose.
36:25You did this to yourself?
36:27Mal, go.
36:28Go!
36:29Let her go!
36:38Trying to help you both.
36:50Damn it, ball.
36:51Stop!
36:51I'll be back as soon as I can.
37:06Drop your weapon!
37:06through me!
37:32Ah!
37:32Ah!
37:33Whatever the terms of your agreement with Tahal, we will exceed it.
37:41Logposts, come to me.
37:42We have no desire to engage in a bidding war between your factions.
37:48There is a third option.
37:51We reject Tahal's offer.
37:54You leave here in peace.
37:56We keep the prisoners.
37:58And why would I accept that?
38:00Because we have a spore drive.
38:01And if you attack us, we can be gone with Locke to Tahal in seconds.
38:08But if we keep him, the Scion is off the table and the status quo is maintained.
38:12You can settle your dispute with Tahal the way you always have in battle.
38:17Unless you fear you cannot defeat her.
38:19If any harm before the Scion, at the hands of the Federation, war will be unavoidable.
38:34It is my foredo.
38:36We give you our word that he will not be harmed while in our custody.
38:41Captain Burnham, it's none.
38:43Nahn?
39:00Morga out.
39:00I'm going after her.
39:02Zora, can you locate her?
39:03There is no sign of her biometric data, Captain.
39:05Hang in there, Locke.
39:06Stay with me.
39:07How is that possible?
39:07We took all her gear from her when we captured her.
39:10She may have some implanted form of biometric cloaking technology.
39:13Damn it.
39:14Initiate lockdown protocol and see what you can do to help me find her.
39:17Respectfully, Captain.
39:18My detail, my prisoner.
39:20Go.
39:22Q?
39:23We're losing him.
39:24Not an option.
39:24You don't know enough about his physiology.
39:26We need a brain medic.
39:27We need a brain medic.
39:27I'll get you one.
39:33How?
39:35The Primark.
39:43Attention crew.
39:45All decks have been sealed under lockdown protocol.
39:48Repeat, we are on lockdown protocol.
39:50Zora, what's happening?
39:51One of the fugitives escaped sick bay.
39:54Command and arms team is conducting a search.
39:56Mom, damn it.
39:57Wait, Book, we already have a mission.
40:00Have any Terminal's been used to access ship schematics?
40:02There was a login 30 seconds ago.
40:04Where?
40:04Terminal C7 on deck five.
40:07I need to go.
40:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
40:09No, no, no, no.
40:09Non's after her.
40:10There's a no more.
40:10We have to solve this.
40:12Book, the mission has to be the priority.
40:21We need that final clue.
40:22Okay, the scientist was Betazoid, but the clue has no trace elements from Betazet.
40:32What about from one of their colonies?
40:33They didn't have any 800 years ago.
40:36We must be missing something.
40:37It feels like we should be further along.
40:38Yeah, yeah, you would think so.
40:44What did you just say?
40:46Oh, um, must be missing something.
40:48No, you said something about, about feeling.
40:51That's it.
40:53Betazoids are telepaths.
40:54So, what if Dr. Derricks created a transitive link between this card and the place it came
41:01from, and she would have left traces of her thoughts and emotions behind, and you're
41:06an empath, so maybe you could read them.
41:09Anything?
41:26Not with you talking, there won't be.
41:39You were right.
41:41I could see something.
41:43Empty space.
41:45Somewhere remote.
41:46Any cosmological details?
41:49Um, planets, suns, nebulae?
41:52A dust cloud.
41:54Huge.
41:55A storm.
41:56Not a dust storm.
41:57Plasma.
41:59Plasma storm?
42:00All right.
42:01And there's a noise, like an explosion.
42:04Plasma blast.
42:05Maybe a few?
42:05Huge, remote plasma storm, possible explosive plasma bursts, which would create bionic discharge.
42:11That's good.
42:12That's-that's helpful.
42:19Okay.
42:21Anything else?
42:24Uh, yeah, another feeling.
42:29Eternity.
42:31Eternal.
42:32Don't know what it means.
42:32I have to go.
42:35O2 saturation levels are still dropping.
42:38Try boosting throughput.
42:39I've got your brain medic.
42:41He'll be beaming in any minute.
42:43The Primark will be joining us.
42:45It was the only way he would agree.
42:47Captain, they're beaming in now.
42:50Step away from him.
42:59Where's your second prisoner?
43:01She's being held elsewhere on the ship.
43:03If my nephew dies here, the Federation will pay.
43:14Go run back.
43:15Copy.
43:16Thank you for alerting me.
43:17I may have misjudged you.
43:18Making things right is a process.
43:20And Lark, did he get out too?
43:22Well, he pulled a risky move.
43:24He's got a map to shuttle bay.
43:25Shut up.
43:26What she did back in sick bay to get out, backfired.
43:39Lark misjudged the dose.
43:42He may not make it.
43:44Yeah, nice try.
43:46Tell me it'd go farm on Bo Pack 3 while you're at it.
43:48Let me try.
43:56Mo?
43:58Hey, it's Pook.
44:00Look, I'm coming out.
44:08Not another step.
44:10She isn't lying.
44:15Lark is your world.
44:16I know that.
44:20I also know what it's like to lose one.
44:25Don't miss your chance to be there with him.
44:30For him.
44:30For him.
44:30Look, I know.
44:44You're right.
44:44Don't miss my time.
44:44You know what?
44:45It's like a house.
44:48I know that.
44:54I know that.
45:25I'm sorry.
45:40I guess I used too much.
45:44Uncle.
45:47I need you with me.
45:50It's okay.
45:53You'll be okay.
45:55I promise.
46:04This isn't how our story ends.
46:08This isn't how our story ends.
46:10This isn't how our story ends.
46:12This isn't how our story ends.
46:13This isn't how our story ends.
46:14This isn't how our story ends.
46:15This isn't how our story ends.
46:16This isn't how our story ends.
46:17This isn't how our story ends.
46:18This isn't how our story ends.
46:19This isn't how our story ends.
46:20This isn't how our story ends.
46:21This isn't how our story ends.
46:22This isn't how our story ends.
46:23This isn't how our story ends.
46:24This isn't how our story ends.
46:25This isn't how our story ends.
46:26This isn't how our story ends.
46:27This isn't how our story ends.
46:28This isn't how our story ends.
46:29This isn't how our story ends.
46:30You killed the Scion.
46:42No, no, he did this to himself.
46:45He hacked a biobed and injected himself with a massive dose of tricorgesine.
46:49Intention is nothing.
46:51Outcome is everything.
46:53Prepare for battle.
47:00Lark is dead.
47:04Rune has ordered the troops back to their ships and all torpedo systems to be armed.
47:08Everybody, just take it easy.
47:12Red alert.
47:13Shields up.
47:14If anyone's going to make a move, I strongly suggest we be the first.
47:17What we do here, Admiral, will make waves that may strike many worlds.
47:21You want to survive long enough to see that happen because at this rate...
47:23Commander.
47:24Admiral, four warp signatures are arriving.
47:27There's Starfleet.
47:29Not a moment or so.
47:30The Federation brought him here to save him.
47:46We would have no reason to wish him any harm.
47:48He overdosed on a stimulant, part of a plan to escape.
47:51Those lies will be your last words.
47:53Wait.
47:57It's true.
47:59He did it for us.
48:00So we could be free.
48:02Your words are not proof.
48:05You think a war to avenge him will unite the brain behind you?
48:08If I cannot use the Sion in life, I will use him in death.
48:14Yeah.
48:14Well, I go where Lark goes.
48:17Even in death, this is the privilege of our joining.
48:27An abomination.
48:29No.
48:29A marriage.
48:31Which means you are obligated to take me with you.
48:35Well, what are you doing?
48:37I'm not talking to you.
48:38You will never be welcome among us.
48:41Maybe this will help.
48:42The Federation's hiding something from you.
48:45A power so great, you won't need Lark to claim the throne.
48:51No one will stand in your way.
48:52And I can get him for you if you take me with you.
48:57If you wish to avoid war, she is my price.
49:15She is under our protection.
49:16I will allow you five minutes to transport you to my ship.
49:23She's not thinking straight.
49:24She is, and she has a plan.
49:26Her motives are irrelevant at this moment.
49:29I have a decision to make on behalf of the Federation.
49:31That is where our attention should be.
49:43Okay.
49:44Risk analysis.
49:45Does Maul know any details about the progenitor's technology that she hasn't yet told the Breen?
49:50Non's team translated the rest of the diary.
49:52Nothing of substance, but there is a passage that may be pertinent.
49:55Dr. Velick believed that since the technology could be used to create life,
49:59it might also be used to revive the dead.
50:02Bit of stretch.
50:03Doesn't matter.
50:03What matters is that she thinks it'll bring Locke back.
50:06That's why she's doing this.
50:07Well, why would she go with the Breen?
50:08They have an Erica on her head.
50:09Maul told us they'd use the technology to pay for it.
50:12So by helping the Breen, she gets Locke and their freedom at the same time.
50:15Roon will kill her the second he has this technology.
50:17Maybe she has a plan for that too.
50:19Are there further considerations from a strategic perspective?
50:22She doesn't have the clue from Helen, no.
50:24We do.
50:25Once it's decoded, we can jump immediately.
50:26We can track our signature, but speed is on our side.
50:29We can't actually be considering this.
50:38We can't give her to them.
50:42We are now in a race with the Breen, whether they hold her in their custody or not.
50:46Well, shouldn't she be tried wife and Uncle Mara?
50:48She also committed crimes in Breen's face and will be held accountable or not according to their laws.
50:53Unfortunately, it seems there is little to be lost by allowing this.
51:01And much to be lost by keeping her.
51:09This is wrong, Michael.
51:22We figured it out.
51:44We figured it out.
51:45So the next clue is in a place called the Eternal Gallery and Archive.
51:50It changes location about every 50 years.
51:52We've found records for 18 different locations over the past 900 years or so.
51:57And each of those records mention a metal library card,
51:59which is used to gain access to a specific item stored in there.
52:03So where's the archive now?
52:05Well, thanks to Book, we know that it's in a region that has a lot of ionic discharge in close proximity.
52:12Every second counts. We don't have time to search all that.
52:15And we don't have to.
52:16Uh, Zora, can you please show us all the archive's known previous locations?
52:20And can you overlay the data sets?
52:22Of course, Anton.
52:23The archive has been on a path moving through space over centuries.
52:27So tracing the prior locations, we land on a match here.
52:31This is where it is now.
52:32The Badlands?
52:34I've been there. It's as fun as it sounds.
52:37And we won't stay long. We'll get in quick and get out even quicker.
52:40Really good work, team. Thank you. Prepare to jump.
52:43Let's go get our last clue.
52:48Commander.
52:54Today must have been really difficult.
52:58Hell, I'm new to need rather than giving an inch back to the Klingons.
53:00A lot of good death did you?
53:06Yeah.
53:08But you did really well today.
53:13What they did to my planet, though,
53:17never gonna happen again.
53:18We'll make sure of it.
53:27Status report.
53:29Com's channels are open, Captain.
53:30Spore drive system is in jump configuration.
53:33Shields and scanning systems are nominal.
53:35Science is standing by for location analysis.
53:37Commander Asher, there's gonna be some turbulence.
53:39I hope you like a challenge.
53:40Love a challenge, Captain.
53:42All right, then. Black alert.
53:45Waaah! Waaah!
53:47Waaah!
