00:00Previously on Star Trek Discovery.
00:24You're smart, slippery as hell, don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.
00:27Meet Maul and Locke.
00:30What did they steal?
00:31Something vital to the security of the Federation.
00:33You're Maul and Locke.
00:34What's your next move?
00:35Quimau.
00:36The dealer there loves the old stuff.
00:37Captain Burnham and Captain Rainer set a course for Quimau.
00:40My mission or hers?
00:41Why don't you try working together?
00:42An explosion up there would cause an avalanche!
00:44We can't risk killing all those people down there!
00:47An avalanche is not gonna happen!
00:49Discovery, we have to stop that avalanche!
00:52We did it!
00:55Great work, everyone!
00:56I do believe it would be only logical to codify our commitment in more official capacity.
01:03Are you asking me to bury you?
01:05Some things are hard to move past, for both of us.
01:07Yeah, maybe we haven't wanted to say that out loud.
01:11Are we saying it now?
01:12I think we are.
01:13We've been calling them the progenitors.
01:16They created life, as we know it.
01:18Somehow, Dr. Valak found their technology, whatever it was they used to design life itself.
01:24Now, Maul and Locke know where it is, or the diary is the first piece of the puzzle.
01:30There's a system in the outer sector of the Beta Quadrant, Valene.
01:33One of its worlds, Lyric, has three moons, two of which move in perfect sync.
01:38It's on Lyric.
01:42Captain's personal log, Stardate 866274.3.
01:56For millennia, philosophers and scientists have wrestled with the same big questions.
02:01What is our purpose?
02:03Why are we here?
02:05What does it all mean?
02:08I always thought, I knew.
02:10The mission.
02:12That's my purpose.
02:13That's why I'm here.
02:15That was always enough.
02:17But lately, it's not.
02:20And I don't know why.
02:22We're on a search for one of the greatest powers ever known.
02:26The very thing that created us.
02:29I can't help but wonder, once we find it, once I understand it, is that where I'll
02:35find the answers?
02:37Is that how things make sense again?
02:41Come.
02:44Ah.
02:47I have found myself reviewing that same hologram in my quarters as well.
02:52Not much else to do while we wait to get out of dry, Dawn.
02:58That avalanche really did a number on us.
03:01Ah, yes.
03:02The sands of Kumau continue to reveal many heretofore unknown radiative properties.
03:07Meanwhile, Mal and Luck have one hell of a head start.
03:09Only for the time being.
03:11Diligence of our new friend notwithstanding.
03:13I am happy to report that repairs are nearly finished.
03:16We should be ready to jump within the hour.
03:17Good.
03:18Any more delays?
03:19And I would have started to wonder if someone was stalling his final day on board.
03:23Just as well I haven't found anyone to replace you yet.
03:27I am pleased that the schedule has afforded me one last mission to say goodbye.
03:32Let's get ready for Lyric.
03:36Uh, there is another matter at first.
03:38Uh, an official matter from the President's office.
03:41Did you agree with Captain Raynor's decision to fire, knowing, as he did, that the consequences
03:47could be catastrophic?
03:49I'm sorry, Madam President, but I'm not sure I see how the testimony of a matter of opinion
03:54is relevant.
03:55The Starfleet Corps of Engineers is presently mired in a very messy clean-up.
04:00That has caused no end of political complications, which is precisely what we do not need right
04:06now.
04:07You were there.
04:08Your testimony is relevant.
04:09I would like to respectfully remind the board that Captain Raynor's actions did not cause
04:13the avalanche.
04:14No, but he seems to have inspired Mal and Luck.
04:18Who did?
04:19My mission was to stop them, ma'am.
04:21That's what I was doing.
04:24Did you agree?
04:27Captain Burnham, no one appreciates the, uh, unwritten Starfleet code of conduct more
04:34than I do.
04:35That you're being asked a direct question by the President, to which we would all appreciate
04:39a direct answer.
04:44You had no problem voicing your opinion in the field, Captain.
04:48All right.
04:51The answer is no.
04:53I did not agree.
04:54I thought it posed an unjustifiable risk.
04:56And as I told her then, we had a red directive.
04:59Our priority was a stolen item that could compromise the safety of the entire Federation.
05:03Your mission is not in question here, Captain.
05:06Your actions are.
05:07My strategy worked.
05:09I blocked their escape.
05:11And yes, sometimes enemies do inspire one another.
05:16But what I did on Kumau was no different than what I've been doing for the last 30 years.
05:20We are in a different time now, Captain.
05:23Things have changed.
05:24We're not at war.
05:26The Breen are infighting over a new leader.
05:28The Orions are regrouping.
05:30War is always a possibility.
05:31And you're living in a candy-colored hollow fantasy if you're thinking otherwise.
05:35You are not helping yourself.
05:37Oh, come on.
05:40This is politics, pure and simple.
05:43I already know what she thinks.
05:45I have leveled undue criticism against the Federation during a delicate time of diplomacy and rebuilding.
05:51I could be out there right now finishing this mission instead of sitting on our asses.
05:58That's enough, Rainer.
05:59Wasting precious time while a technology of unbelievable power is being found, used, or sold to the highest bidder.
06:07I said that's enough.
06:15I think now would be a good time for a break.
06:29You disagree with me about this, too, that we're wasting time.
06:39I think the world is bigger than our own corner of it.
06:45Captain Vernon, a word?
06:50A word.
07:00Shit.
07:03Thank you for your candor in that.
07:05It's true that it wasn't fair for me to judge him.
07:07No, he's never quite been able to get out of his own way.
07:10Loves Starfleet, loves the Federation.
07:12We've been together in more firefights than I can count, but...
07:14He has things to learn, don't we all?
07:18He's a gifted officer.
07:21Thank you for saying that.
07:23Pardon the interruption, Captain.
07:24All ship repairs are nearly complete.
07:26Discovery will be ready to leave shortly.
07:28I'll be right there.
07:29Dr. Kovic will monitor your progress from here.
07:32I do have to ask the addition to your crew manifest.
07:36I'll be fully briefed and squared away before departure.
07:39Good.
07:40It's an extra set of eyes.
07:42Someone who's focused on Marlon Locke,
07:45knows their tactics from his own time as a courier,
07:47could be helpful for the mission.
07:49I couldn't agree more.
07:56So this isn't gonna be an issue?
07:59No, sir.
08:00Not at all.
08:02Good.
08:04But he's already proven himself valuable.
08:07And I believe he'll continue to be.
08:19To see this as the start of any other mission, my queen.
08:27Who are you?
08:28You know what?
08:29You know what?
08:30You know what?
08:31You know what?
08:33Right.
08:34I see Grudge is just as playful as ever.
08:35It's a constant change.
08:36Hard fare to settle, you know?
08:37Hmmm.
08:38Lights.
08:42I see Grudge is just as playful as ever.
08:44It's a constant change.
08:46Hard fare to settle, you know?
08:48Mm.
08:50So you've made a fan out of Admiral Vance.
08:52Won't be sharing a drink with him any time soon.
08:55But at least he hasn't thrown me back in the clink.
08:57No, he's impressed with your work with the refugees.
08:59And with your help on the Q-Mao mission.
09:01If you help us get the Predator's tech,
09:03I'm sure the higher-ups would be great for him.
09:05I just go where they tell me.
09:08So, now I'm here.
09:12What do you need?
09:14All right.
09:16Well, according to the diary,
09:18Dr. Velik hid the Predator's power,
09:20or a clue as to where it's hidden, on Lyric.
09:23And that's where we're headed now.
09:25Paul is also analyzing something else that he found.
09:28The schematic on this page may be significant.
09:31So while he's working on that,
09:33I will have you review Mal and Loc's interactions
09:35with the dealer, Fred.
09:37See if they said anything
09:38or did anything that can help us.
09:40Shouldn't say long. Then what?
09:42He's working up a side profile.
09:43We may run into our career friends down on the planet
09:45if they haven't already gotten there.
09:47Either way, we need to get that clue before they do.
09:50And it's Saru's last mission, by the way.
09:52For a while, that is.
09:54I know. I heard.
09:56Action Saru.
09:58Came to her desk.
09:59Never thought I'd see her.
10:01Action Saru?
10:02Yeah. Come on. You know.
10:04Action Saru?
10:06Yeah.
10:19Sorry. She doesn't like it. Cats.
10:21I already knew she wouldn't.
10:23I got it for you.
10:27This is through. Black alert.
10:51Mission Staru?
10:53Castor The Fire Strip.
10:55Yeah.
10:57Hungry.
10:59Family.
11:01Having more you love.
11:03You are doing it.
11:04Every time you go.
11:05Haven't been doing it.
11:06You are doing it.
11:07Yes.
11:08You are doing it.
11:09You don't know.
11:10You are doing it.
11:11You are doing it.
11:12Your way!
11:13You are doing it.
11:14You are doing it.
11:15You are either doing it.
11:16Never doing it.
11:50The clue from the diary Under the Shadow of Twin Moons points us here.
12:19Double solar eclipse casts a shadow over this area once every seven years, and scans show a large structure at its center.
12:26So what else do we know about the planet?
12:28It's M-class, uninhabited, at least by anyone alive. The place is kind of like a burial ground.
12:33The Promellians used it before they went and extinct themselves, of course.
12:36Why did a Romulan scientist choose an ancient Promellian necropolis as a hiding place?
12:41I have no idea, sir. The last recorded exploration was over a century before Dr. Vellick was even born. Any sign of luck and maul?
12:49No, none. But we don't know the full extent of their cloaking capabilities yet.
12:52So they could be down there?
12:53Down there, up here. Either way, we will keep our eyes peeled, which is actually kind of disgusting if you think about it.
12:59But I'm here as your science specialist, so they're peeled.
13:03So glad that you were back with us for this. Please thank the cadets for letting us borrow you.
13:08Uh, Lieutenant, I noticed that our transport coordinates have us landing quite a distance from our target location.
13:14Yeah, so unfortunately the entire center area seems to be surrounded by a weirdly strong electromagnetic field. See?
13:20Something you might see from a great technological power?
13:24We will find out soon enough.
13:26The field won't allow us to transport you in, but we'll get you as close as we can.
13:29And you'll have to walk from there.
13:31Have security on standby.
13:33No one goes down unless they need to be there.
13:35Remind them that this is a sacred space and we should tread lightly.
13:39And keep those eyes peeled.
13:40Hi, Captain.
13:45Last dance.
13:47I shall follow your lead.
13:50It's oddly serene for a species that was constantly at war.
14:17Indeed.
14:19I don't believe I've ever heard such quiet.
14:27Wow.
14:32Okay.
14:33Still no life signs?
14:35Well, I have compensated for the cloaking system all unlock and use against us previously and...
14:39Hmm.
14:40...registering none in the vicinity.
14:42Here.
14:46This large pyramid.
14:48That's where the shadow would fall.
14:51Power of creation.
14:52Here we come.
14:53Come on.
14:53Come on.
15:05Hey.
15:07Look, I heard you were on board.
15:09Welcome back.
15:13How are you doing?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Um, I've been helping resettle DMA refugees.
15:18That is what you were doing?
15:20I want to know how are you doing.
15:25Just trying to make sense of it all.
15:28Figure out what's next.
15:29You know?
15:30Mm-hmm.
15:30So, what have we got on Maul and Locke so far?
15:35Well, let's just say I know more about the spirits my abuela used to pray to than I do about these two.
15:39Hmm.
15:40They use hybridized tech from a variety of different species.
15:43They don't shy away from physical confrontation, though they're not violent just for the sake of it.
15:48Maul is human.
15:49Locke is a mystery.
15:50Hmm.
15:51That's about it.
15:52I don't even know where they're from or if those are even their real names.
15:56Dr. Culver, I have the footage of Maul and Locke you asked for.
16:01Oh, from when they got away.
16:10What is it?
16:11They've got two starships on their tail.
16:13One has them on a leash.
16:14They pull this stunt that they're going for style points.
16:17Okay.
16:18Why?
16:20Because they're free.
16:24Having fun together.
16:25In love.
16:31Means a lot to be together, I would imagine.
16:35We're here for them, Doc.
16:37Locke me.
16:38And you see, that's not just fun.
16:41That's Cliff's Edge kind of stuff.
16:43Okay, so they're thrill seekers.
16:45That's helpful.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Let's say give them a cliff.
16:50See if they're willing to jump.
16:51Did you know you have a nickname?
17:01Action Saru?
17:02Ah, yes.
17:04Huh.
17:05You've heard it before.
17:06Yeah.
17:06I find it quite humorous.
17:09You didn't tell me he came up with that?
17:11I mean, it's not that he needed to.
17:14It's just that we were together for a long time.
17:17I mean, not long by some standards, but long for me.
17:22Are you speaking of Mr. Booker?
17:23Yeah.
17:24Didn't he give you that nickname?
17:25No, it was Commander Reno.
17:27Shortly after we arrived in this future, she heard about my encounter with Zara.
17:31And apparently my ferocity, the use of my quills, struck a rather strong chord with her.
17:37Right.
17:37Right.
17:38I'm really happy for you, Saru.
17:44You know, I remember the day you came aboard Discovery.
17:49A mutineer, a prisoner, you seemed exactly the wrong choice.
17:56And yet, you made the most of the opportunity.
18:00I remain deeply impressed and inspired by all that you have accomplished.
18:06Oh, Saru, you have always seen something in me.
18:12Even when others didn't, even when I didn't.
18:16And I look at you now, who you've become.
18:21Probably the bravest soul I've ever known.
18:26Thank you, Michael.
18:29How the hell am I going to find another you?
18:33You do not need another me.
18:35You need a new number one.
18:39Right.
18:40Well, Tilly wants to go back to the Academy after this.
18:43I've got candidates on Discovery and across Starfleet.
18:45I...
18:46If I may offer a piece of advice.
18:49Sure.
18:51You are a force, Michael.
18:53I believe you would be aided by one who is as well.
18:58Someone like Mr. Booker, now that I think of it.
19:00You're not suggesting I make books, my number one.
19:01I simply mean to say that he stands his ground, even in difficult moments.
19:07If you were to...
19:08Saru.
19:09Bodies wouldn't be unburied here.
19:21What do you think?
19:22Grave robbers?
19:23I would venture to say they have been here for quite some time.
19:26I'm not going to see them all in luck.
19:30Which begs the question, what killed them?
19:38If only the Stones could speak.
19:42Let's keep our eyes open.
19:45I hate to miss your wedding because I'm dead.
19:47That would be a grave disappointment.
19:49Did you just make a pun?
19:51Unintentional.
19:52Unless, of course, you found it amusing.
20:10What?
20:11Nothing.
20:12I'm very happy that you're back.
20:16Even if it is just temporary.
20:18Thanks.
20:19And me too.
20:20Although, I do really feel like I found my place there.
20:24I love teaching.
20:25Yeah, you're really good at it.
20:27Oh.
20:29My cadets haven't really been rising to the challenge in the field.
20:32They can task, but then they never seem to fully grasp the meaning of the mission itself.
20:37Tasks are concrete and meaning.
20:41Hmm.
20:41Well, hopefully some time away will give me time and space to clear my head and offer a fresh perspective to help them.
20:53Fresh perspectives are good.
20:57Hmm?
20:57Gray.
20:57I love him a lot.
21:04And this is the first time that it's just been me.
21:08And I...
21:09I don't know.
21:11I kind of like it.
21:14You don't know how to feel about that.
21:15I don't know how to feel about that.
21:17I feel like I'm here.
21:17I don't know how to feel about that.
21:18I don't know how to feel about that.
21:20I don't know how to feel about it.
21:21Oh, that's odd.
21:23That's, uh, there's a spike in the electromagnetic field.
21:26Getting close, 500 meters from the target.
21:33Still no sign of Maul in luck.
21:36Let's go.
22:06Captain, we've been looking at the spike in the electromagnetic field.
22:09Are you seeing anything weird down there?
22:11No.
22:13Nothing weird.
22:25It takes my life.
22:36Looks like we know what killed the grave robbers.
22:44Incredible that, although fallen and shattered centuries ago, the technology of the security
22:59system has endured.
23:00I'm sure I'll appreciate that at some point.
23:03Discovery, we're transporters out.
23:04If we run, these drones will cut us to pieces.
23:06We're recalibrating the transporter system to get around the electromagnetic field.
23:09I can't.
23:10I can't get it.
23:11Captain, can you make it back to the drop zone where we beamed you in?
23:14Not a chance.
23:15Can you take them out for more of it?
23:16No, Captain, you're too close.
23:17What if we send a security team?
23:18I do not believe we will survive that long, Captain.
23:24That drone just detonated.
23:30Great.
23:31Lose one drone, another comes.
23:32Tilly, we're losing our foot.
23:33What?
23:34Oh, my God.
23:35Who lost a foot?
23:36No, not our actual feet.
23:37The foot we're hiding under.
23:38But we'll lose our actual heads if we can't find the power source and shut this thing down.
23:41On it.
23:42We remain in your capable hands, Lieutenant.
23:43Capable and sweetie.
23:44Okay.
23:45Power sources.
23:46Let's run through them.
23:47Ion reactor.
23:48Not that I can see.
23:49Deuterium?
23:50No spectral traces.
23:51But it's got to be run on some sort of battery of some kind, right?
23:54What about cloaked antimatter?
23:55Excuse me, Lieutenant.
23:56You're receiving an urgent transmission from Federation headquarters.
23:57I'm sorry.
23:58That's going to have to wait.
23:59I hate waiting.
24:00It sounds like you could use my help.
24:01Captain Rainer.
24:02I've been monitoring secure comms.
24:03But how?
24:0430 years in Starfleet.
24:05That's how.
24:06Is your first red directive?
24:07I've been on 7.04.
24:08So now about that help.
24:09Okay.
24:10This is a science problem, Captain?
24:11No.
24:12This is a people problem, as you might say.
24:13It always is.
24:14Do you really think that Promellian is a problem?
24:15I don't know.
24:16I don't know.
24:17I don't know.
24:18I don't know.
24:19I don't know.
24:20I don't know.
24:21I don't know.
24:22I don't know.
24:25Promellians were using cloaked antimatter batteries 2,000 years ago.
24:30To beat the system they built, you've got to think like them, not 32nd century scientists.
24:34Okay.
24:35Zora, using Federation databases, what energy source did the Promellians use on their ships?
24:39Lange cycle fusion was most common.
24:41Okay.
24:42Any evidence of that on the surface when we arrived?
24:44Um...
24:47None.
24:48Do we have a solve yet?
24:49Working on it.
24:52Don't look at me.
24:53Keep going.
24:54Who were they?
24:55How did they think?
24:56They built a graveyard.
24:57They wanted to protect it for centuries.
24:59So they needed power.
25:01What technology did they have available to them?
25:03What could they bring there?
25:04Better yet, what was already there?
25:05Zora.
25:06Or whoever you are.
25:08How did they power their cities?
25:10What else did they use for their ships?
25:11Data shows they harnessed gravity waves, gamma ray bursts, electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic
25:16waves.
25:17The electromagnetic field!
25:19You're welcome.
25:20Hurry, Philly!
25:21All the drones are gonna detonate!
25:22Go!
25:23Go!
25:24Go!
25:25Go!
25:26Go!
25:27Go!
25:28Go!
25:29Go!
25:30Go!
25:31Go!
25:32Go!
25:33Go!
25:34Go!
25:35All the drones are gonna detonate!
25:36Go!
25:37Go!
25:38Go!
25:39Go!
25:40Go!
25:41Go!
25:42Go!
25:43Go!
25:44Go!
25:45Go!
25:46Go!
25:47Go!
25:48Philly, we're running out of body parts down here.
25:50Good news. We figured out what's powering the security system.
25:53Okay. Sounds like bad news is coming,
25:55but we'll take the good news. What do we got?
25:57The electromagnetic field.
25:58It spiked before the security system kicked in.
26:00That's what's powering it.
26:02Well, I fail to say out that is good news.
26:03We cannot shut down a planet.
26:05No, but if you can locate the statue's internal control mechanism,
26:08you could shut that down and stop the drone.
26:11The head. When the drones came out of the eyes.
26:14That's where this all started. We can demolish that.
26:16That can cause a chain reaction throughout the system,
26:18destroying what we came here to find,
26:20and killing us in the process.
26:21Well, that's a risk, but it's our only option.
26:23Discovery can't get a lock. If we do nothing, we're dead for sure.
26:26What if we disconnect the system from its power source first?
26:29We'll have to scan the internal mechanism
26:30and then have Tilly analyze how it connects to the EM field.
26:33But the drones are back,
26:34and right now we don't have that kind of time.
26:36Or we could use an electromagnetic pulse.
26:39It disrupts present-day technology.
26:41It should do the same with a thousand-year-old system.
26:45Captain.
26:50Tilly, what do you think?
26:52Oh, well, it is the safer option, Captain.
26:54If you can use the power packs from your phasers
26:56and set them to emergency discharge,
26:58and then get that as close as you can
26:59to the internal control mechanism,
27:01that could work.
27:04All right.
27:06I'll go draw their fire.
27:07Captain, my reflexes and speed are superior to any humans.
27:10I will draw fire while you place our weapons.
27:13No, let me do it.
27:14No, no, Captain, no.
27:15No, this is your last mission.
27:16We are running out of time.
27:17Tarina will be heartbroken.
27:19She would want me to perform my duties as I always have.
27:21Michael, please.
27:25Please.
27:29On your mark.
27:30Uh...
27:36Uh...
27:38Uh...
27:42Uh...
27:44Oh...
27:48Uh...
27:49Oh...
27:51Oh...
27:53Oh, my God.
28:23Oh, my God.
28:53Oh, my God.
29:23Oh, my God.
29:24I'm all right.
29:25Oh.
29:26Oh.
29:27Oh.
29:28Oh.
29:29Oh.
29:30Oh.
29:31Oh.
29:32Oh.
29:33Oh.
29:34Oh.
29:35Oh.
29:36Oh.
29:37Oh.
29:38Oh.
29:39Oh.
29:41Oh.
29:42Oh.
29:43Oh.
29:44Oh.
29:45Oh.
29:46Oh.
29:47Oh.
29:48Oh.
29:49Oh.
29:50Oh.
29:51Oh.
29:52Oh.
29:53Oh.
29:54Oh.
29:55Oh.
29:56Oh.
29:57Oh.
29:58Oh.
29:59Oh.
30:00Oh.
30:01Oh.
30:02Oh.
30:03Oh.
30:04Oh.
30:05Oh.
30:06Oh.
30:07Oh.
30:08Oh.
30:09Oh.
30:10Oh.
30:11Oh.
30:12Oh.
30:13Oh.
30:14Oh.
30:15Oh.
30:16Oh.
30:17Oh.
30:19Oh.
30:20Oh.
30:21Oh.
30:22Oh.
30:23Oh.
30:24Oh.
30:25Oh.
30:26Oh.
30:27Hey, tell me, huh?
30:28Commander, I've completed my search on the symbol found in the Romulan Scientist Diary.
30:30There are 2,453,972 possible pattern lighters in Federation databases.
30:31Great, so we're narrowing it down.
30:34Let me try you this way.
30:36I'm not sure about this book.
30:37Maybe if we knew more about Maul and Locke.
30:39I know all that needs for this.
30:40What's going on?
30:41He wants to access a special subspace comms channel.
30:44I had to get this piece of equipment from my pack.
30:46Which station can I use?
30:47Um...
30:49What's that for?
30:52Dark comms.
30:53Dark comms?
30:54Yeah, to reach Locke and Maul.
30:57From the way they fly, my guess is they're suey.
30:59Curies will take the most dangerous drops because they love the action.
31:02And the latinum.
31:03Suey are the ones you call when you have a really dangerous score.
31:06They're running from Starfleet.
31:07Why would they talk to you?
31:08Because they need to unload that diary while they can.
31:11Something that hot bound to be offered once world gets out.
31:14So I'm gonna send them a message.
31:15He thinks he can talk them down before they reach the planet.
31:17Assuming they're not here yet.
31:19And if you can't?
31:20At the very least, we'll know more about them.
31:22Listen.
31:23Wherever they are right now,
31:24the last thing we need is another dance with them.
31:26We have to try this.
31:28Okay.
31:31I need all non-essential personnel to clear engineering.
31:35Everybody out!
31:36Come on!
31:37Go!
31:38Go!
31:39Thank you!
31:44All right.
31:45Uh...
31:46You're all set.
31:47Discovery's hidden.
31:48They won't know where you're calling from.
31:49They'll do the same on their ship.
31:50See if you can trace them anyway.
31:51Strivers.
31:52This is code for them that's out fleeting Starfleet.
31:54If you're itching to sell,
31:55I've got a boon for you.
31:56Hit back.
31:57Did it go through?
31:58Mm-hmm.
31:59Doesn't appear to be working.
32:00It will.
32:01Here we go.
32:02You wanted our attention.
32:03You got it.
32:04You have two minutes.
32:05This is it.
32:06We're dead center of our target area.
32:07Well, there are no life signs or energy signatures, which is fortunate.
32:08Okay.
32:09We're dead center of our target area.
32:10There are no life signs or energy signatures, which is fortunate.
32:11Okay.
32:12What are we looking for?
32:13Perhaps we were meant to enter the structure itself.
32:26He's dead center.
32:27You're dead center of our target area.
32:29There are no life signs or energy signatures, which is fortunate.
32:30Okay, what are we looking for?
32:32Perhaps we're meant to enter the structure itself.
32:34All right.
32:35All right.
32:36The structure will wait for you.
32:37Well, we're gonna die.
32:38Perhaps we were meant to enter the structure itself.
32:42No, wait a minute. Over there.
32:48Dammit, phaser birds.
32:51They beat us.
32:55But why would Mullen Locke do this,
32:57if the regenerator's tech was here?
32:59Well, I do not see readings that would indicate
33:01there was once anything of great power here at all.
33:06Never?
33:07So maybe the inscription on the stone is a clue.
33:13It's the next step to the regenerator's tech,
33:15so that's why Mullen Locke destroyed it.
33:18We've got to figure out what it said.
33:20Uh, Captain, less than great news.
33:23The field is powering up again.
33:25How much time do we have, Lieutenant?
33:26Three, four minutes, maybe.
33:28We'll take it. There's gotta be something here.
33:31Oh.
33:34If you lower your tricorder...
33:37What is it?
33:38There are hints of iridescent bacteria within the scorched areas of stone.
33:42The bacteria would have settled into the grooves where the words were inscribed.
33:46Their iridescence must be a reaction to the radiation from the phaser glass.
33:50I'll recalibrate for the UV spectrum.
33:56Yes, you're right.
33:58Jolantru, Zorvalgon, that's Hello Wanderer.
34:03Many worlds have you traveled.
34:06This is a Romulan Revlov.
34:07Opaline Waters called to you.
34:13Thoughts are shared.
34:16Which seems to point to Beta's head, but there are only four verses.
34:20Uh, Captain?
34:21Yes, yes, we know.
34:23Uh, right.
34:24Revlov has five verses, so where's the missing verse?
34:27We have to get you out.
34:28We need a few minutes.
34:29No, you have at most two minutes.
34:31The field is coming up fast.
34:32Okay, but the fifth verse has to be here somewhere, and we can't leave without it.
34:36I won't ask again.
34:39Who are you?
34:40A former courier, like yourselves.
34:42Well, a former courier.
34:44Sorry to disappoint.
34:46Diary's not for sale.
34:48Now that we know what it leads to.
34:50You're curious enough to answer my message.
34:52Yeah, well, as she said, we're after bigger shine now.
34:57But I'm guessing that he knows that.
35:00Don't you?
35:01You make a mess and get Starfleet on your ass.
35:05Folks start talking.
35:06Try again.
35:08What is your angle?
35:09I've got things that I want to.
35:11And if I stop you, I might just get them.
35:13Now, I don't know if you're running from something or to something.
35:17But you're running.
35:18All you've got is each other, and you're in way over your head.
35:21You need to walk away before it's too late.
35:23You can't win in a race with Starfleet.
35:25Wrong.
35:26We're already ahead.
35:28And it's them who should walk away.
35:30Diary's Romulan.
35:32Federation's got no claim to it.
35:34We saw first finder's keepers and all that.
35:37But that diary,
35:38at least it's something more dangerous than you know.
35:40The Federation can handle it, keep it safe.
35:43You can't keep going like this.
35:45You'll end up dead on the brig.
35:46Or is that the kind of shine you're looking for?
35:50You know, with all the Federation cough car coming out of your mouth,
35:53I'm having a hard time believing you were ever a career.
35:56Who are you really?
35:58No liars here.
36:00Works in the Beta Quadrant, mostly Sector Six.
36:03Name's Cleveland Booker.
36:09You heard of me.
36:11You're right about one thing.
36:16All we have is each other.
36:19And that's more than enough.
36:25Did we get the trace?
36:26No, they routed their comm signal through an unstable wormhole.
36:29Smart, but completely untraceable.
36:33Book? You all right?
36:35You all right?
36:36Yeah.
36:41So Dr. Belloc left this clue.
36:42Let's put ourselves in his shoes.
36:44What do we know about 24th century Romulans?
36:46They were obsessed with secrecy.
36:48Yes, and so the diary, this place, the message in a poem...
36:52Maybe it's not just secrecy.
36:54It's security.
36:55Both of which went hand in hand during the time of the Empire.
36:58Evident Romulan thinkers, including scientists, often traveled with armed guards.
37:0560 seconds.
37:06Their homes also frequently had a Shikun, a false front door designed to mislead enemies.
37:12Right, and the entrance for family and friends and trusted allies was in the back.
37:16So behind the stone.
37:19Or beneath it.
37:2140 seconds.
37:22Can you muster up that famous Kelpien strength?
37:24Well, we shall see.
37:28Okay.
37:31I see something!
37:32Keep going!
37:34Keep going!
37:35Keep going!
37:36Keep going!
37:37Got it.
37:39Maul and La don't have this part of the clue, so they're on their way to Beta Zed.
37:42Well, they will realize they're there soon enough, and to return here...
37:46What is this?
37:55Now we can't let them find this.
37:57I do not wish to destroy the stone, but...
37:59Ten seconds.
38:00Okay, well, let's just cover it up.
38:01And then leave it be.
38:02This is a sacred space, and we've disturbed it enough.
38:04We'll find another way to get ahead of Maul and La.
38:07Hurry, hurry!
38:08Five!
38:09Four!
38:10Snack it!
38:11Hurry, hurry, hurry!
38:12It's the room!
38:13Silly!
38:14No!
38:15Time for the next time.
38:16I'm going to be in the room.
38:17No...
38:18I'm ready.
38:19You're not ready.
38:20I'm ready.
38:21I'm ready.
38:22I'm ready.
38:23I'm ready.
38:25I'm ready.
38:26I'm ready.
38:27I'm ready.
38:28Exciting last day.
38:32Indeed.
38:33Yeah, thank you both.
38:35Very much for your help.
38:36Oh, you should really be thanking Captain Raynor.
38:38I mean, we would have never figured out
38:40how that security system worked without him.
38:42Raynor?
38:44Commander Samets, can you join us in the science lab?
38:47On my way.
38:48Any sign of Monon Lakshin?
38:50None.
38:52Till they have Linus prepare a team of dots.
38:54There's a stone monument down there,
38:56desecrated by phaser fire.
38:57Let's have them repair it as best as they can.
38:59And let's get sensors into orbit.
39:01When Monon Lakshin come back, I want to know about it.
39:04Hi, Captain.
39:06Oh, Mr. Saru, I happen to know a doctor?
39:10Yes, I'll see you shortly.
39:13But first, Captain, check this out.
39:21Looks similar to the diary symbol you've been working on.
39:24No?
39:25Yeah, it has the same style and visual language.
39:30Zora, can you bring up the diary symbol?
39:32Yes, Commander.
39:36Zora, can you create a programmable matter version of that?
39:38Of course, Captain.
39:40Yes.
39:41Yes.
39:42Yes.
39:43No wonder we couldn't find a pattern match.
39:46It was incomplete.
39:47But what is it?
39:48No wonder we couldn't find a pattern match.
39:49It was incomplete.
39:50But what is it?
39:52I think this is a map.
39:53Of some kind.
39:54No wonder we couldn't find a pattern match.
39:55It was incomplete.
39:56But what is it?
39:57I think this is a map.
39:58I think this is a map.
39:59Of some kind.
40:00Broken into five pieces.
40:04And the poem tells us where to go next.
40:05So we just need to find four more pieces to complete the map.
40:09So once we have all five pieces, then we find what?
40:10Created us?
40:11Yes.
40:12I think this is a map.
40:13I think this is a map.
40:14Of some kind.
40:15Broken into five pieces.
40:16And the poem tells us where to go next.
40:30So we just need to find four more pieces to complete the map.
40:34So once we have all five pieces, then we find what?
40:38Created us?
40:40The Progenitor's actual technology.
40:43Seems so.
40:49No biggie, then.
40:51Uh, where are we going next?
40:53Uh, the first set of verses seem to suggest Betazed,
40:57which is where Maul and Locke must be heading.
41:00But this final verse reads,
41:02A world like no other,
41:04where two souls entwine,
41:06joined as one.
41:08Uh, consider with the other details.
41:10Uh, opening waters.
41:12Shared thoughts.
41:13Uh, I suppose...
41:15Drill.
41:19We're going to drill.
41:21All we have is each other.
41:26And that's more than enough.
41:30Freeze.
41:33Zora, can you zoom in on Maul?
41:35Certainly, Mr. Booker.
41:40Can you take this image and age Maul down to...
41:44Seven years, three months.
41:46Three months.
42:12Come in.
42:13Hey.
42:18Hey.
42:20You okay?
42:21The way you left it looked like you saw a ghost.
42:28Do you believe in fate?
42:32Depends, I suppose. Why?
42:35Turns out I know her.
42:38Who?
42:41Maul.
42:44Her birthmark.
42:46I've only ever seen her on one person.
42:49Yeah.
42:50A child.
42:52I'd never actually met her before.
42:54Until today.
42:55I've only ever seen a holo image.
42:58Her name is...
43:02Malene.
43:03Malene.
43:07She's the daughter of my mentor, Cleveland Booker the Fourth.
43:11Which, I suppose...
43:14Makes her the closest thing to family I've got left.
43:16I believe I may be ready.
43:29I believe I may be ready.
43:43You can still change your mind.
43:45Okay? I told Detmer to pull in real slow.
43:48Yeah.
43:57I...
43:59Passed through Faharai.
44:02From a life of...
44:04Fear to a life of hope.
44:06Right here in this room.
44:16What I remember most about that day...
44:18Was that you were here with me.
44:21You held my hand.
44:23But I was not afraid.
44:28Thank you, Michael.
44:31It was an honor, sir.
44:33Everything with you has been...
44:37And it's not forever, right?
44:41A few months, hopefully.
44:43While I'm gone, I do hope that my replacement will serve you well.
44:48There's no replacing you, but...
44:51Whoever comes, I'm sure they'll be great.
44:54Any last words of advice?
44:57Well, I must say, I feel a great deal of power in this moment.
45:03I will simply encourage you to continue forward as you have.
45:08But one cannot predict what is to come.
45:13But I find that when I give myself over to the journey...
45:18Just in the process, one might say...
45:21There is always great meaning in that.
45:27Wherever I may eventually arrive.
45:30I will also advise you to not touch the swamp kelp while it is in bloom.
45:40Yes.
45:42Until he warned me.
45:44We'll take good care of them.
45:46And this will always be here for you.
45:49I know it will.
45:55Thank you, Saru.
45:57For what?
45:58For giving me a second chance.
46:23First thing up on your geometry?
46:24Well...
46:27I actually am.
46:29I...
46:31I can't help Charlie if I don't know what she's doing.
46:34Right.
46:36So, I, uh...
46:38I read you a report.
46:41Go for it today.
46:43Thank you, sir.
46:46If I may...
46:48I've been wondering about the inquiry.
46:51I asked Rainer to take an early retirement effective immediately.
47:01It can't have been easy.
47:05We have been friends for 30 years.
47:08Hopefully still will be once the death settles.
47:11I will say...
47:15I will say...
47:19On Q. Mal...
47:21He did what he thought was right for the Federation.
47:26He always has.
47:28And the shame is, he's a damn good captain.
47:31The world has changed.
47:34I try to talk to him, uh...
47:37Have him see it, but...
47:39He won't hear me.
47:41He won't hear me.
48:03You mind?
48:05A free galaxy.
48:07Most of it, anyway.
48:11I gotta say...
48:14She's a beautiful ship.
48:18I don't make him like that anymore.
48:21Hm.
48:25You find the progenitors tech?
48:27No, but we found a clue to where it's hidden.
48:29Next stop somewhere on Trill.
48:32The quest continues.
48:36Thank you for your help today.
48:39I was on break from getting grilled and gave me something to do.
48:44Well, you've done a lot over the years.
48:47Citations for distinguished service.
48:50The Grand Kite Order of Tactics.
48:52Awards of Valor.
48:53It's not our trinkets.
48:55It's what you do in the chair.
48:57Every day.
48:59Every mission.
49:01That's what matters.
49:06Could've told the board what they wanted to hear.
49:10I know what I stand for.
49:12I know what I believe in.
49:14I'm not gonna apologize for that.
49:16Anything else, Captain?
49:17Or can I go back to enjoying your meal in peace?
49:20So you think you deserved it?
49:23The retirement?
49:28I always tell my crew.
49:31Get out of your head.
49:34Think like you're enemies.
49:36I should've seen it coming.
49:40When Moloch did on Kimo.
49:43Tangled and up.
49:45I should've known life.
49:47You should've known.
49:52That town had been hit.
49:54All those lives lost.
50:01Why didn't you say any of that during the inquiry?
50:05I already dug my own grave in there.
50:07It wouldn't matter.
50:09Doesn't mean you have to get in it.
50:11I want you to be my number one.
50:19You get knocked in the head with one of those statues?
50:23Hm.
50:25You didn't have to help us today, but you did, because the mission matters to you.
50:28Starfleet and the Federation matter to you.
50:31And I see how you're looking out at the stars.
50:34We both know you're not ready to hang it up.
50:39It's an interesting offer.
50:42But Vance wouldn't let me back on a ship unless I was a garbage scout.
50:47I already spoke to Vance.
50:48He backs my choice.
50:49I got a second chance once.
51:00This is yours.
51:08We leave for Trill at 0800.
51:09The offer stands till then.
51:13Burn him.
51:14I'm not a yes man.
51:24I'm counting on that.
51:26I'm counting on that.
51:44The fall.
51:45The second one.
51:46The blast.
51:47The.
51:48The.
51:50The.
51:51The.
51:52The.
51:54The.
51:57The.
51:59The.
52:03The.
52:04The.
52:06The.
