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?
08:28Who are you?
08:29Who are you?
08:30Who am I?
08:31Who are you?
08:32Who are you?
08:33Who are you?
08:34Who are you?
08:35Who are you?
08:38Who are you?
08:39Who are you?
08:40Right.
08:41I see Grudge is just as playful as ever.
08:44It's the constant change.
08:46Hard fare to settle.
08:47You know?
08:48Mm.
08:51So you've made a fan out of Admiral Vance.
08:53Won'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
09:00and with your help on the Q-MAL mission.
09:02If you help us get the Predator's tech,
09:03I'm sure the higher-ups would be great for him.
09:06I just go where they tell me.
09:09So now I'm here.
09:13What do you need?
09:15All 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.
09:24And 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 Locke's interactions
09:35with the dealer, Fred.
09:37See if they said anything or did anything that can help us.
09:40Shouldn't say long. Then what?
09:42He's working up a site profile.
09:44We may run into our courier friends down on the planet
09:46if 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.
09:53For a while, that is.
09:54I know. I heard.
09:56Action Saru.
09:58Came to her desk.
10:00Never thought I'd see her.
10:01Action Saru?
10:03Yeah, come on, you know.
10:05Action Saru?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Sorry, she doesn't like it. Cats.
10:11I already knew she wouldn't.
10:12I got it for you.
10:14This is through. Black alert.
10:16Black alert.
10:21I already knew she wouldn't.
10:23I got it for you.
10:27This is through. Black alert.
10:51This is through.
11:21This is through.
11:51The clue from the diary Under the Shadow of Twin Moons points us here.
12:19This double 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. The Primalians used it before they went extinct themselves, of course.
12:35Why did a Romulan scientist choose an ancient Primalian necropolis as a hiding place?
12:40I had no idea, sir. The last recorded exploration was over a century before Dr. Velga was even born.
12:47Any sign of lock and mall?
12:48No, none. But we don't know the full extent of their cloaking capabilities yet.
12:51So they could be down there?
12:52Down there, up here. Either way, we will keep our eyes peeled.
12:56Which is actually kind of disgusting if you think about it.
12:58But I'm here as your science specialist, so they're peeled.
13:02I'm so glad that you are back with us for this. Please thank the cadets for letting us borrow you.
13:07Lieutenant, I noticed that our transport coordinates have us landing quite a distance from our target location.
13:13Yeah, so unfortunately the entire center area seems to be surrounded by a weirdly strong electromagnetic field. See?
13:21Something 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. Have security on standby.
13:33No one goes down unless they need to be there. Remind them that this is a sacred space and we should tread lightly.
13:38And keep those eyes peeled.
13:40Hi, Captain.
13:44Last hands?
13:47I shall follow your lead.
13:49I shall follow your lead.
13:51No one goes down.
13:54Ah, ah, ah.
13:56It's oddly serene for a species that was constantly airborne.
14:04It's oddly serene for a species that was constantly at war.
14:18Indeed.
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 in lock and use against us previously and registering none in the vicinity.
14:45Here.
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.
14:53Come on.
15:05Hey.
15:07Look, I heard you were on board.
15:09Welcome back.
15:13How are you doing?
15:14Yeah.
15:16I'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 Lock 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.
15:49Lock 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 Lock you asked for.
16:01Oh.
16:02From 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.
16:33I would imagine.
16:35We're here for them, Doc.
16:37Lock 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.
16:49See 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?
17:25Oh, no.
17:26It 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.
18:54I believe you would be aided by one who is as well.
18:57Someone like Mr. Booker, now that I think of it.
19:00You're not suggesting I make books, Michael.
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.
21:15Well, that's odd.
21:24Odd that there's a spike in the electromagnetic field.
21:31Getting close.
21:32500 meters from the target.
21:35Still no sound of Malden Lock.
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.
22:43Incredible that, although fallen and shattered centuries ago, the technology of the security system has endured.
23:00I'm sure I'll appreciate that at some point.
23:03Discovery, we're transporters out. If we run, these drones will cut us to pieces.
23:06We're recalibrating the transporter system to get around the electromagnetic field.
23:10I can't, I can't get it.
23:11Captain, can you make it back to the drop zone where we beamed you in?
23:14Not a chance. Can you take them out from orbit?
23:16No, Captain, you're too close. What if we send a security team?
23:19I do not believe we will survive that long, Enten.
23:30That drone just detonated.
23:33Great. Lose wonder on another comes.
23:37Tilly, we're losing our foot!
23:38What? Oh my God, who lost a foot?
23:40No, not our actual feet. The foot we're hiding under.
23:42But we'll lose our actual heads if we can't find the power source and shut this thing down.
23:46On it.
23:47We remain in your capable hands, Lieutenant.
23:49Capable and sweetie!
23:50Okay. Power sources. Let's run through them. Ion reactor.
23:53I'm all that I can see. Deuterium?
23:55No spectral traces. It's gotta be run on some sort of battery of some kind, right?
24:00What about cloaked antimatter?
24:01Excuse me, Lieutenant. You're receiving an urgent transmission from Federation Headquarters.
24:05I'm sorry, that's gonna have to wait.
24:07I hate waiting. It sounds like you could use my help.
24:09Captain Raynor?
24:10I've been monitoring secure comms.
24:11But how?
24:1230 years in Starfleet, that's how. Is this your first red directive?
24:16I've been on 7, so it's .04. Now about that help.
24:19Okay, this is a science problem, Captain?
24:21No. This is a people problem, as you might say. It always is.
24:24Do you really think the Promellians were using cloaked antimatter batteries 2,000 years ago?
24:30To beat the system they built, you've gotta think like them, not 32nd century scientists.
24:35Okay, Zora, using Federation databases, what energy source did the Promellians use on their ships?
24:39Lange cycle fusion was most common.
24:41Okay, any evidence of that on the surface when we arrived?
24:44Um, none.
24:48Kelly, do we have a solve yet?
24:49Uh, working on it.
24:52Don't look at me. Keep going.
24:54Who were they? How did they think?
24:56They built a graveyard. They wanted to protect it for centuries.
25:00So they needed power.
25:01What technology did they have available to them?
25:03What could they bring there? Better yet, what was already there?
25:05Zora, or whoever you are, how did they power their cities?
25:10What else did they use for their ships?
25:12Data shows they harness gravity waves, gamma ray bursts, electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves.
25:17The electromagnetic field.
25:19You're welcome.
25:21Hurry, Dilly!
25:22All the drones are gonna detonate! Go, go, go!
25:36Dilly, we're running out of body parts down here!
25:51Good news that we figured out what's powering the security system.
25:54Okay. Sounds like bad news is coming, but we'll take the good news. What do we got?
25:58The electromagnetic field. It spiked before the security system kicked in. That's what's powering it.
26:02Well, I fail to see how that is good news. We cannot shut down a planet.
26:06No, but if you can locate the statue's internal control mechanism, you could shut that down and stop the drone.
26:11The head. When the drones came out of the eyes. That's where this all started. We can demolish that.
26:16No, no. That can cause a chain reaction throughout the system, destroying what we came here to find, and killing us in the process.
26:22Well, that's a risk, but it's our only option. Discovery 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 and then have Tilly analyze how it connects to the EM field.
26:33But the drones are back, and right now we don't have that kind of time.
26:36Or we could use an electromagnetic pulse. It disrupts present-day technology. It should do the same with a thousand-year-old system.
26:46Captain.
26:51Tilly, what do you think?
26:52Oh, well, it is the safer option, Captain.
26:54If you can use the power packs from your phasers and set them to emergency discharge, and then get that as close as you can to the internal control mechanism, that could work.
27:05All right. I'll go draw their fire.
27:08Captain, my reflexes and speed are superior to any humans. I will draw fire while you place our weapons.
27:13No, let me do it.
27:14No, no, Captain, no.
27:16No, this is your last mission.
27:17We are running out of time.
27:18Serena will be heartbroken.
27:19She would want me to perform my duties as I always have.
27:24Michael, please.
27:26Michael, please.
27:29On your mark.
27:30fiona, mark.
27:52Ugh...
27:53Let's go.
28:23Let's go.
28:53We did it!
29:05Captain Rain, here.
29:08Theroux!
29:12Theroux, where are you?
29:18Here, Catherine.
29:19Here.
29:20Here.
29:21I'm all right.
29:23I'm all right.
29:24I'm all right.
29:33Are you hit?
29:34I'm fine.
29:35It's nothing serious.
29:37Action Saru!
29:39Damn!
29:41Your idea worked.
29:46I believe it is now clear why Dr. Veloc would choose a Promellian necropolis as a hiding place.
29:52Yes.
29:53It is exceedingly well defended.
29:56Let's just hope what we're looking for is still here.
30:01Yes.
30:02And then Mom and Luck haven't beaten us to it.
30:04You ready?
30:05Yes.
30:06Okay.
30:07Let's go.
30:11Commander, I've completed my search on the symbol found in the Romulan scientist diary.
30:24There are 2,453,972 possible pattern matches in Federation databases.
30:31Great!
30:32So 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 Luck.
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 Luck and Mall.
30:57From the way they fly, my guess is they're Sui.
30:59Couriers will take the most dangerous drops because they love the action.
31:02And the latinim.
31:03Sui are the ones you call when you have a really dangerous score.
31:06They're running from Starfleet. Why would they talk to you?
31:09Because they need to unload that diary while they can.
31:11Something that hot, bound to be offers 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.
31:18Assuming 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, the last thing we need is another dance with them.
31:26We have to try this.
31:30Okay, I need all non-essential personnel to clear engineering.
31:35Everybody out! Come on! Go! Go!
31:38Thank you!
31:40All right, uh, you're all set. Discovery's hidden. They won't know where you're calling from.
31:49They'll do the same on their ship. See if you can trace them anyway.
31:53Strivers, this is code for them that's out fleeting Starfleet.
31:58If you're itching to sell, I'll go to boon for you. Hit back.
32:07Did it go through?
32:08Mm-hmm. Doesn't appear to be working.
32:11It will.
32:17Here we go.
32:24You wanted our attention. You got it. You have two minutes.
32:30This is it.
32:32We're dead center of our target area.
32:33Well, there are no life signs or energy signatures, which is fortunate.
32:36Okay, what are we looking for?
32:38Perhaps we're meant to enter the structure itself.
32:42No, wait a minute. Over there.
32:48Dammit.
32:49Fazerbergs.
32:51They beat us.
32:55But why would Mullen Locke do this if the Progenitor's Tech was here?
32:59Well, I do not see readings that would indicate there was once anything of great power here at all.
33:06Never?
33:07Never.
33:09So maybe the inscription on the stone is a clue.
33:14It's the next step to the Progenitor's Tech, so that's why Mullen Locke destroyed it.
33:18We've got to figure out what it said.
33:21Uh, Captain, less than great news. The 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 got to be something here.
33:32Oh.
33:35If 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.
33:51I'll recalibrate for the UV spectrum.
33:56Yes.
33:57You're right.
33:59Jolon True.
34:00Zor Balgon.
34:01That's Hello Wanderer.
34:03Many worlds have you traveled.
34:06This is a Romulan Revlov.
34:09Opaline Waters called to you.
34:13Thoughts are shared.
34:14Which seems to point to Beta's head, but there are only four verses.
34:21Uh, Captain?
34:22Yes, yes, we know.
34:24Uh, right.
34:25Revlov has five verses.
34:26So 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.
34:34And we can't leave without it.
34:36I won't ask again.
34:39Who are you?
34:40A former courier like yourselves.
34:43Well, a former courier.
34:45Sorry to disappoint.
34:47Diary'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.
34:56But I'm guessing that he knows that.
34:59Don't you?
35:01You make a mess and get Starfleet on your ass.
35:04Folks start talking.
35:06Try again.
35:08What is your angle?
35:09I 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.
35:23Can't win in a race with Starfleet.
35:24Wrong.
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.
35:36Founders keepers and all that.
35:37That diary.
35:39Leads to something more dangerous than you know.
35:41Federation can handle it. Keep it safe.
35:43You can't keep going like this.
35:45You'll end up dead on the brig.
35:47Or is that the kind of shine you're looking for?
35:50You know, with all the Federation kafkar coming out of your mouth,
35:52I'm having a hard time believing you were ever a courier.
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.
36:10You're right about one thing.
36:17All we have is each other.
36:20And that's more than enough.
36:25Did we get the trace?
36:27No, they routed their comm signal through an unstable wormhole.
36:30Smart, but completely untraceable.
36:34Book? You all right?
36:35You all right?
36:37Yeah.
36:41So Dr. Bellic left this clue.
36:42Let's put ourselves in his shoes.
36:44What do we know about 24th century Romulans?
36:47They 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.
36:56Both 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.
37:07Their homes also frequently had a Shikun, a false front door designed to mislead enemies.
37:13Right, and the entrance for family and friends and trusted allies was in the back.
37:17So behind the stone.
37:20Or beneath it.
37:2240 seconds.
37:23Can you muster up that famous Kelpien strength?
37:25Well, 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.
38:11Captain!
38:12Hurry, hurry, hurry!
38:13Silly, no!
38:14Now!
38:30Exciting last day.
38:32Indeed.
38:33Yeah, thank you both.
38:35Very much for your help.
38:36Oh, you should really be taking Captain Raynor.
38:38I mean, we would have never figured out how that security system worked without him.
38:42Raynor?
38:45Commander Samets, can you join us in the science lab?
38:47On my way.
38:48Any sign of Maul and La.
38:49None.
38:52Tilly, have lines prepare a team of dots.
38:54There's a stone monument down there, desecrated 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 Maul and La 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.
39:55Yes.
39:56Yes.
39:57Yes.
39:58No wonder we couldn't find a pattern match.
40:08It was incomplete.
40:10But what is it?
40:12I think this is a map of some kind.
40:22Broken into five pieces.
40:25And the poem tells us where to go next.
40:29So we just need to find four more pieces to complete the map.
40:34So once we have all five pieces, then we find what created us?
40:40The Progenitor's actual technology.
40:43Seems so.
40:44No biggie, then.
40:45Uh, where are we going next?
40:47Uh, the first set of verses seem to suggest Betazed, which is where Maul and Locke must be heading.
40:59But this final verse reads,
41:02A world like no other, where two souls entwine, joined as one.
41:08Well, consider with the other details.
41:10Uh, opaline waters.
41:12Shared thoughts.
41:13I suppose...
41:14Drill.
41:18We're going to drill.
41:20All we have is each other.
41:27And 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 seven years, three months?
41:50Come in.
42:17Hey.
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.
42:37Who?
42:41Maul.
42:44Maul?
42:46Her birthmark. I've only ever seen it on one person.
42:49Yeah.
42:51A child.
42:53I'd never actually met her before.
42:54Until today.
42:56I've only ever seen a holo image.
42:58Her name is...
43:02Malene.
43:03She's the daughter of my mentor, Cleveland Booker the Fourth.
43:10Which, I suppose...
43:13Makes her the closest thing to family I've got left.
43:16Tell me I've got left.
43:17I 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.
43:47I passed through Faharai.
44:01From a life of fear to a life of hope.
44:06Right here in this room.
44:15What I remember most about that day...
44:18Was that you were here with me.
44:21You held my hand.
44:23And I was not afraid.
44:26Thank you, Michael.
44:27It was an honor, sir.
44:29Everything with you has been...
44:34And it's not forever, right?
44:37A few months, hopefully.
44:39Well, while 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.
44:55Any last words of advice?
44:58Well, I must say, I feel a great deal of power in this moment.
45:02I will simply encourage you to continue forward as you have.
45:10One 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's 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 you 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.
46:00First thing up on your geometry?
46:01Well, I actually am.
46:03I...
46:05I...
46:07Can't help Charlie...
46:09No, I can't help us.
46:11No!
46:12No.
46:14Okay.
46:16Yes.
46:17I can't help Charlie.
46:19No.
46:21No.
46:22No.
46:23No.
46:24No.
46:26No.
46:27No.
46:28I can't help Charlie if I don't know what she's doing.
46:33Right.
46:35So, I, uh, I read you a report.
46:40Go for it today.
46:42Thank you, sir.
46:45If I may, I've been wondering about the inquiry.
46:51I asked Rainer to take an early retirement
47:00effective immediately.
47:04It can't have been easy.
47:06We have been friends for 30 years.
47:09Hopefully still will be once the death's settled.
47:15I will say...
47:19Thank you, Mal.
47:22He did what he thought was right for the Federation.
47:26He always has.
47:28Now, the shame is he's a damn good captain.
47:32The world has changed.
47:35I try to talk to him, uh,
47:38have him see it, but...
47:40he won't hear me.
47:49You mind?
48:04Free galaxy.
48:06Most of it anyway.
48:08I gotta say...
48:12she'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.
48:30Next stop somewhere on Trill.
48:32Quest continues.
48:34Thank you for your help today.
48:39I was on break from getting grilled and gave me something to do.
48:43Well, you've done a lot over the years.
48:46Citations for distinguished service,
48:49the Grand Kite Order of Tactics, awards of valor...
48:52Trinkets.
48:54It's what you do in the chair.
48:57Every day.
48:58Every mission.
49:00That's what matters.
49:05Could've told the board what they wanted to hear.
49:10I know what I stand for.
49:11I know what I believe in.
49:13I'm not gonna apologize for that.
49:15Anything else, Captain?
49:17Or can I go back to enjoying your being in peace?
49:20So you think you deserved it?
49:23The retirement?
49:29I always tell my crew...
49:33Get out of your head.
49:34Think like you're enemies.
49:38I should've seen it coming.
49:40When Moloch did on Kimo.
49:42Tangled enough.
49:44I should've known life.
49:46You should've known.
49:52That town had been hit.
49:53All those lives lost.
50:01Why didn't you say any of that during the inquiry?
50:04I already dug my own grave in there.
50:07It wouldn't matter.
50:08Doesn't mean you have to get in it.
50:10I want you to be my number one.
50:19You get knocked in the head with one of those statues?
50:22Hmm.
50:23You didn't have to help us today, but you did,
50:25because the mission matters to you.
50:27Starfleet and the Federation matter to you.
50:31And I see how you're looking out at the stars.
50:33We both know you're not ready to hang it up.
50:38It's an interesting offer.
50:42But Vance wouldn't let me back on his ship
50:44unless I was a garbage scout.
50:46I already spoke to Vance.
50:47He backs my choice.
50:48I 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.
51:18I'm not a yes man.
51:23We're counting on that.
51:48Don't you?
51:49Ready for the Natasha Superman?
51:50See you guys.
51:51Awesome.
51:52Everyone say anything?
51:53ordinator.
51:54Everyone say awesome.
51:55Come around and watch it.
51:56What are you calling me?
51:57Have you ever seen the advertisers in drink?
51:58For now?
51:59There's a chance.
52:01Well, I was lucky enough,
52:02there are reality tables.
52:03Meanwhile?
52:04If I'm not going all with you in jail.
52:06I have forgotten.
52:08That seems one for a lot right.
52:09I hope it's dope.
52:10Once went.
52:11Here comes the Running to the Hive.
