00:00Previously on Star Trek Discovery
00:24That's my uncle
00:26Breen Primark
00:27Of the Sixth Flight
00:29Wait, why didn't you kill him?
00:38He raised me
00:39You want to hate me? Fine
00:40I will not let anything happen to Michael or you
00:43Why me?
00:44To you, just about the only family I've got left
00:46Do you even know what you're after?
00:48Power beyond all comprehension
00:50If the Breen got a hold of that power, it would be catastrophic
00:54We'll be long gone by then
00:55Hey, the Federation can help you
01:00Can they erase an Erica?
01:01Move!
01:02You do not have another play here
01:05This wasn't supposed to happen
01:13System shows it's a Terran warp pod
01:16Two life signs, sickbay equipment
01:17It's got to be a life support system
01:19It's Marlin Locke
01:19Commander, can you grab them?
01:21Dammit, too late
01:22What are these?
01:25There are numbers in Agent Hallamnes
01:26One for each of the five powers
01:28A file had the same marks of the clues in Tower 5
01:32It had a metal card attached
01:34With some kind of Betazoid text inscription
01:36Sam is analyzing it so we can see where to go next
01:39Excuse me, Captain
01:40We just got a message from FedHQ
01:42The USS Lockerate just found Marlin Locke
01:45Admiral Vance requests that we jump to their location immediately
01:48Special offer
01:54Courier services
01:56A minute time only
01:57Special offer
02:01Courier services
02:03A minute time only
02:05It was broadcasting from pod on a loop
02:32Subspace frequency Epsilon 19
02:34That is a courier channel
02:35Special offer is code for SOS
02:38So she was hoping a courier would rescue them
02:41Luckily we got to them first
02:42Admiral Vance asked me to bring a team aboard Discovery
02:45To assist with security as you transfer them to FedHQ
02:47All right
02:48Glad to have you with us, Commander
02:50Good to be back
02:51Maul had this stashed on her when we pulled her out
02:54Dr. Velick's diary
02:55We already have some of it on file
02:57But let's get started translating the rest
02:59It'll tell us everything we need to know about the regenerator's tech
03:01There's a Romulan on our team
03:02Hey, come on, hands off the jacket
03:05Look, you are not supposed to be here
03:09Yeah, I heard Marlin Locke beaming over
03:12Access is restricted
03:13No one in or out without the Admiral's okay
03:15They may know things we don't about the Clue Trail
03:18Or what we'll find at the end of it
03:19I've spent more time with Maul than anyone
03:21So maybe I can get her to talk
03:24Report said she nearly killed you on the Enterprise
03:26But she didn't
03:27So, lots of trust there
03:29At least let me try
03:30Last time I saw you, also a personal situation
03:33You fired on Discovery with photon torpedoes
03:36And set off an isolated weapon
03:37And I've been working to make things right ever since
03:39That doesn't mean you're not a security risk, Falcon Commander
03:42Book has been instrumental in this mission so far
03:46If we need help during our debrief, I'll find you
03:52He's a good man
04:04And I do trust him
04:06I know what he means to you
04:10So I went easy on him
04:11I'll be right back
04:18We're almost ready, Captain
04:22Beaming right into a bio bed
04:24Not a good sign
04:25Well, Locke is in bad shape
04:26It's a miracle he's even still alive
04:28And Maul?
04:29The lockerer reports she's dehydrated
04:31Half-starved
04:32But still kicking
04:34Literally
04:35When we tried to separate them
04:36She went ballistic
04:37I'm not surprised
04:39We're modifying the containment field
04:41To hold them together
04:41Keeping them apart
04:43Will only put more stress on his system
04:44Okay
04:47Let's do this
04:48Captain Burnham to the USS Lockerer
04:51Ready for transfer
04:52Transporting now, Captain
04:55What are you doing?
05:01I'm giving him something for the pain
05:03And then I need to examine him
05:05We're gonna help him, Maul
05:07You did this to him
05:09Fierce as a such a crew
05:11Keep both eyes open
05:12You know I won't
05:14Guard, step back
05:22Guard, step back
05:22A word, Captain
05:34Lock is fading
05:38Some kind of vital organ must have been hit
05:41But we don't know enough about green physiology
05:43To do much besides ease his pain
05:46We have to do more
05:47Brain fugitive dying in Federation custody
05:50This is politically charged to say the least
05:52Tell me you have a plan
05:54I did a deep dive into Dominion War era medical research
05:57There is some evidence that the brain are capable of somatic cell regeneration in extreme cold
06:01So we located a captured brain refrigeration unit in an old vet HQ storage manifest
06:06And we may be able to use it to convert a biobed into a low temperature ICU unit
06:11It's a long shot
06:12Do it
06:13I'll alert headquarters to have it ready right now
06:16Commander Osh will bring us in for docking
06:29I'm sorry, Captain
06:30They're asking us to hold
06:31I wonder why
06:33Captain, we're receiving a hail from Admiral Vance
06:36He's requesting to speak with you before we dock
06:38Put him through
06:39Apparently it's classified
06:41I'll meet him in my ready room
06:48Rainer, you have the comm
06:50Admiral
06:55I'm having the refrigeration unit themed over
06:59Maul and Locke will remain in your custody
07:02I thought we were transferring them to you
07:03Change of plans
07:04Once you receive it, I need you to jump immediately
07:07Get them as far away as you can
07:10Sir, what's happening?
07:13You receive this
07:15Rainer
07:18Rainer, it's for translation
07:21Your federation has captured two fugitives who have incurred in Erega
07:25Be ready to hand them over upon our imminent arrival
07:28Scans show a green dreadnought heading this way at maximum warp
07:32President Rillick is at a diplomatic summit on Teller Prime
07:36For her security, she'll remain there
07:38All non-essential personnel will shelter in quarters
07:41How did the Breen even know we have them?
07:42They must have intercepted our communication with the Locker
07:45Goes without saying that handing them over is not an option
07:48Can allow the Breen to become aware of the progenitor's technology
07:50So we jump away with Maul and Locke and then what?
07:52You just deny the federation has them?
07:54By all means, Captain
07:56Speak freely
07:57Apologies, Admiral
07:59To your point, the Breen are too smart for games
08:01But having Maul and Locke elsewhere will at least limit the immediate risk
08:04And force them to consider how far they're willing to push us in order to fulfill this Erega
08:08Well, with all due respect, sir, we can't keep moving indefinitely
08:12They will figure it out eventually
08:14They'll start tracking our jump signature
08:16They'll leave who knows what kind of carnage in their way
08:18Because they follow us and keep following us
08:20Do you have an alternative proposal?
08:22Yeah, let Discovery stay
08:24Force them to deal with us
08:26Right now
08:27And find a solution
08:29It'll come to that eventually anyway
08:32Fair enough
08:34All right, Discovery stays
08:41But Maul and Locke will remain on board, just in case
08:48Let's hope this works
09:04Stopeping
09:04Later
09:06Go
09:10Go
09:12Go
09:12Go
09:14Go
09:15Go
09:25Go
09:25Go
09:27Go
09:27Go
09:28Go
09:28Go
09:33Go
11:04All the Breen are the same.
11:06The word diplomacy is not even in their vocabulary.
11:09Then we shall teach it to them.
11:10It's more of a pipe dream than a tactic.
11:12You're not quite a desire for understanding with lack of nerve.
11:17This faction seeks power.
11:19There must be something we can offer that they will perceive as beneficial enough to negate an Erega.
11:24An Erega is a blood bounty.
11:27If they need to start a war to fulfill it, they will.
11:30Let's not forget what happened the last time Breen entered Federation space.
11:33Starfleet was caught flat-footed.
11:35That's not going to happen this time.
11:37I've called back some of our ships as a deterrent.
11:40We'll mount a defense if need be.
11:42We just need to keep things calm until a backup arrives.
11:45Something doesn't add up here.
11:48They don't need to come into Federation territory to make this demand.
11:51It's a risk for them, too.
11:53Would they really do it just to fulfill an Erega?
11:56You believe there is another reason they want Maolin Locke?
11:58I think there could be.
12:01As you've said before, the most powerful weapon in diplomacy is information.
12:05We need more.
12:11Captain Saru is currently on a diplomatic mission not far from Breen's space.
12:15In a recent report, he noted that their factional wars stem from a succession dispute,
12:21competing claims from disparate branches of the Royal Bloodline.
12:24A Primarch of the Royal Line wouldn't need Locke for succession,
12:27so what purpose would he and Maul serve them?
12:30It doesn't matter.
12:31None of it will matter if they think they can take us.
12:35My suggestion, we install Thoron emitters on the hull.
12:38Used with duranium shadows, it'll give the impression that we're armed to the gills.
12:43At least give them pause.
12:45Or incite them to attack.
12:48So what?
12:50We should just stick our necks out on the chopping block?
12:52Commander Raynor, we're on the same team here.
12:54Yeah, am I the only one familiar with the Romulans saying,
12:57never turn your back on a Breen?
12:59There is nothing to be gained from xenophobic comments.
13:02I'm not the xenophobic one, Madam President.
13:05To the Breen, genocide is a necessity.
13:08Their version of a Prime Directive.
13:10Commander, wait for me outside.
13:12Madam President, Admiral, if Maul and Locke have information that might be helpful,
13:33we have to get it out of them sooner rather than later.
13:36I was with them on the ISS.
13:38I got a sense of how they operate.
13:39I think I have a shot.
13:47Then you better take it.
13:51Captain.
13:53Make sure they keep you number one in line.
13:56Can't afford any missteps when the Breen get here.
13:59Understood.
14:01Madam President.
14:02If Breen thinks a defensive position is anything short of an invitation to be decimated...
14:17No, the Admiral is doing the best he can with what he has.
14:20And he's as concerned as I am about your ability to handle this today.
14:23Neither of you understand what you're up against here.
14:26But I suspect you do.
14:29This seems personal, Rainer.
14:31But if you have valuable intel, you need to share it.
14:33I already said what I had to say.
14:37I apologize for the tone, Captain.
14:47Dismissed.
14:47Lieutenant Gallo, place us in yellow alert.
14:56All hands prepare for the imminent arrival of the Breen.
15:00Hey, Tilly.
15:01Wait, Tilly.
15:03I was looking for you at the science lab and they said you were taking a shuttle to Fed HQ?
15:08Yeah.
15:08If the Breen are going to attack, my cadets are going to need me.
15:10We need you here.
15:12Look, um, this was attached to the clue we retrieved from the Fifth Tower in Halemno.
15:16It's a Beta Zed logo.
15:18And the text translates to the labyrinths of the mind.
15:21So, if you and Adira could focus on the meaning of that phrase,
15:25then I can figure out the properties of the metal.
15:28Paul, why are we talking about the clue right now?
15:30The last time the Breen paid a visit to the Federation, they destroyed an entire city.
15:34Which is exactly why we need to keep focusing on this.
15:37Look, the Mitchell is out there and their orders are to stand by in case...
15:44Well, in case they receive an encrypted message from us.
15:50You mean in case we can't complete the mission because we're all dead?
15:54This clue is the most important thing in the Federation right now.
15:57We have to get the Predenitor's power and keep it safe.
16:00And if the Breen or someone else gets it...
16:05And, honestly, VET HQ is the safest place your cadets can be right now.
16:11So...
16:12Can I let Adira know you're on your way to help?
16:18Yes.
16:19Of course.
16:22Dr. Kolber.
16:24How's he doing?
16:25Improving.
16:25Slowly.
16:26The blend of sub-zero gases promotes a strong immune response you need to the Breen.
16:30Can I talk to him?
16:32You can try.
16:33The Breen are on their way.
16:42They demanded we handed you both over.
16:45You must have foreseen the possibility they would intercept your SOS.
16:49What was your plan?
16:50Always been partial to wimming it.
16:52On the ISS, you said you were trying to buy your way out of the Arega with the Progenitor's power.
17:01Is there anything else they would accept as payment?
17:04If there was, we would have paid it.
17:06A dreadnought, the most powerful worship class in the entire Breen Imperium, is coming all the way to Federation headquarters for your Arega.
17:23This Primark really wants you.
17:25Why?
17:25We could have let you die out there.
17:36Instead, we're risking our lives to help you.
17:39If you want to help us, let us out of here.
17:41Take our chances on our own.
17:42With him and his condition, you would have no chance.
17:45Some things are worse than death.
17:47What's worse than death?
17:48This conversation, for starters.
17:50Primark doesn't actually plan to kill you, does he?
18:01Who are you?
18:04His child.
18:06Sibling.
18:07Cousin.
18:13What does he really want with you?
18:20Fine.
18:20I'll tell you what he wants.
18:22The throne.
18:23I'm guessing somehow you can get it for him?
18:26If he can have you under his thumb again?
18:28And for someone who fought for their freedom, that would be worse than death, wouldn't it?
18:40Oh, it's you, isn't it?
18:46You are the bloodline.
18:48Not the Primark.
18:50He can't succeed without you.
18:53Yeah.
18:55Lucky me.
18:58Direct descendant of the Emperor.
19:01Sion.
19:02Of the Breen Imperium.
19:05Makes me sick to even say.
19:09So do me a favor.
19:12When my uncle gets here.
19:16Spit in his face for me.
19:20I found a match for the phrase inscribed upon the metal card.
19:37Labyrinth of the Mind is the title of a Betazoid manuscript written in 2371 by Dr. Marina D'Rex.
19:45That's one of the scientists who helped hide the progenitor's tech.
19:48Uh, any chance you can source us a copy?
19:49Only a few thousand were published in its time.
19:52I don't see that any remain available.
19:54There has to be one somewhere.
19:56Looking more closely, I don't believe a copy will be helpful.
19:59The punctuation of the Betazoid symbols point to this being the root text, that is, the original handwritten manuscript.
20:06The original manuscript.
20:08Well, any chance that still exists?
20:09If it does, I have no record of it.
20:12Fantastic.
20:13For a second there, I thought we had a gimme.
20:14Uh, Zora, could you do a scan of Starfleet personnel files to see if there's anyone with expertise on ancient manuscripts?
20:23Well, that's a good idea.
20:24Of course, Anton.
20:25One moment.
20:26What?
20:27Nothing.
20:28Just remember how scared you were to be on the bridge when we went to Halumno?
20:31You did a great job.
20:32I don't know about that.
20:33No, you did.
20:34And you're doing a great job with this.
20:35You're just helping us find the glue.
20:36It just seems like, in general, you're really finding your way, and you shouldn't be afraid
20:37to take on more.
20:38You know?
20:39You have it in you.
20:40Well, good.
20:41Thanks, Teach.
20:42I have found someone with relevant experience.
20:46Her curriculum vitae lists prior employment as a rare and antiquarian bookseller.
21:03Uh, but who?
21:04Commander Reno.
21:06Ah, Commander Reno, uh, we could use your help.
21:11If you can talk while I work.
21:13This targeting matrix is screwy.
21:15Gotta have accurate weapons if we start shooting it out
21:18with the brain.
21:19Everyone seems to think that's inevitable.
21:21It's the whole faceless helmet vibe.
21:23Truncheons, jackboots.
21:25Where's the nuance?
21:26Yeah, so we are working on the latest clue.
21:29Uh, it points to a rare manuscript.
21:31We were thinking since you used to work with those, um...
21:34Uh, I may have padded my resume with that one.
21:38Truth is, I used to move hard-to-find folios
21:41for a shady antiquarian archivist.
21:43Try saying that one five times fast.
21:46I'm sorry, you were a smuggler?
21:48I smuggled.
21:49I had a lot of odd jobs before I committed to Starfleet.
21:53VIP shuttle pilot, deep mercury welder,
21:57bartender at a cozy little dive on Ashland 4.
22:01I'm actually supposed to pick up a guest shift tonight
22:03at Red's Lounge.
22:05You haven't lived until you've tried my seven of limes.
22:08Wow, you really got around.
22:11Uh, not, I'm sorry, not like that.
22:14Oh, yeah, like that.
22:16All right, well, story for another time.
22:18Um, we are looking for a very specific manuscript.
22:21It is a handwritten Betazoid text
22:23called Labyrinths of the Mind.
22:25Never heard of it.
22:26There's a lot of places something like that could end up.
22:29Private collections, museums, and a landfill.
22:34We can't hit a dead end here.
22:35Once we figure this out, it'll take us to the final clue.
22:38No, no, no.
22:39We'll figure it out.
22:40Walk with me.
22:41I've got shield emitters to overhaul before the Breen.
22:44Attention all personnel.
22:45We are Code 1 Alpha.
22:47Code 1 Alpha.
22:48Shit, they're here.
22:50Attention all personnel.
23:15We are now in yellow alert.
23:17Return.
23:18Madam President, Admiral, that Breen ship,
23:20that's the same ship that we saw in the time block cycle.
23:23The one that destroyed Federation headquarters.
23:27What are the scans telling us?
23:29Scans can't penetrate their shields, Admiral.
23:34Hey, Holden.
23:35I do hope some actionable intelligence
23:37came to me a visit with Locke.
23:39Yes.
23:40Without him, Miss Primark has no claim to the throne.
23:42We just need time to figure out how to use that information
23:44to get them to leave.
23:45Peacefully.
23:46They've answered our hail, sir.
23:59Translating.
24:01I am Primark Ruin.
24:03I demand you transfer the fugitives to my ship.
24:06President Tarina of Navarre,
24:08I've been empowered by Federation President Relic
24:10to greet you and lead this negotiation.
24:12There will be no negotiation.
24:14The fugitives, immediately.
24:16Locke and Maul are currently receiving medical treatment,
24:19and any extradition orders would need to be drafted and approved.
24:23Four hours should suffice.
24:25One hour?
24:26Failure to comply will be considered an act of war.
24:29Extradition orders.
24:30Extradition orders.
24:32It seems preferable to claims of a Tribble infestation.
24:39You said you needed time to figure out how to use what you learned from Locke and Maul in order to resolve this peacefully.
24:48You have one hour.
24:50I do have an idea.
24:53Okay, Zora, um, eliminate star systems that aren't rich in ionized beryllium or gadolinium-154.
25:02Actually, no.
25:03Um, try removing all systems that contain alloys, minerals, or compounds that are not detected in the Betazoid card.
25:13Here you are, Commander.
25:17So much for my shortcut.
25:19Hey, there you are.
25:20I was looking for you earlier.
25:21They said that you were with Tilly, and I should check back.
25:23Yeah, we're dividing and conquering with the clue.
25:26Uh, I'm working on where the card came from, and Tilly and Adira are figuring out the phrase.
25:32What do you need?
25:33I want to help.
25:34You want me to work.
25:35Really?
25:36Yeah.
25:37You could ask you.
25:38I'm shy of sitting around.
25:39So until someone needs me to pick up a phaser and take on some breen, I'm all yours.
25:43Okay, great.
25:44Well, not the taking on breen part.
25:47Hopefully it won't come to that.
25:48But, um, you can help find anything that will point us toward where in space this was made.
25:54Okay, so I take it these are our, uh, possible origin points?
25:58Yeah, well, um, there used to be more of them.
26:01A needle in a haystack, then.
26:03Try a needle in a hundred million haystacks.
26:06Okay.
26:07Let's start looking.
26:09Yeah.
26:18Commander.
26:19How's the strategizing?
26:21We're running out of time.
26:23What do you know about breen leadership, succession specifically?
26:28Not much.
26:29What?
26:30We know that the prime art needs Locke to claim the throne.
26:33I think we can use that.
26:34I'm just not sure how.
26:36We're dealing with a culture that we know nearly nothing about.
26:42Rainer, you do.
26:45You had a strong reaction earlier, and I, I didn't fully understand it.
26:49But then I did a little digging and learned that Keleron was used as a breen outpost for a number of years.
26:55You're home.
26:57That was a long time ago.
27:08I don't...
27:10It's not something I like to talk about.
27:14Can you at least tell me if you had any run-ins with a primark rune?
27:23No.
27:27Another primark controlled our planet.
27:31To haul.
27:33Showed up.
27:36No warning.
27:39Ships filled the sky like a swarm of gold or beetles.
27:44Chose it as a forward base.
27:47Used it as a munitions resupply on.
27:52To haul clear-cut our forests, poison our seas, blackened our skies.
27:59I don't even know how many died.
28:02Collateral damage in whatever war she was fighting.
28:06We went up a hell of a fight.
28:13But I'm the only one in my family that made it.
28:16I'm sorry.
28:18Yeah.
28:21The brain cannot be negotiated well.
28:25Not when they want something.
28:32We just need to get Rune to believe we can offer him something he wants more than one more.
28:38And I think you just gave us away.
28:47Thank you for talking.
28:51I used to have tons of contacts in the book trade.
29:03800 years ago anyway.
29:05They're all pushing up daisies now.
29:07Got anything else that might help narrow things down?
29:10Uh, manuscripts one of a kind.
29:12Any copies would have been lost a long time ago.
29:14And the original might be all that we have left.
29:16Like, anywhere.
29:17Are you sure it's a one of a kind?
29:19Uh, as far as we know, why?
29:21Then Dr. Derricks would have wanted to protect it if it leads to the next clue.
29:26Try the eternal gallery and archive.
29:29A mouthful, I know.
29:30We just called it the archive.
29:32It's like a bank, but it protects knowledge.
29:34Neutral.
29:35All worlds welcome.
29:36That sort of thing.
29:37Lots of rarities go there for safekeeping.
29:40Yeah, well check it out.
29:41Where is it?
29:42In space.
29:43Somewhere.
29:44Stay safe by always being on the move.
29:46Did you say the title was engraved on a piece of metal?
29:50Yeah.
29:51Does that mean something?
29:52Well, it might be the library card.
29:55That's how they granted access.
29:57Sounds like something out of a holodeck adventure for the Littles, right?
30:01You're good.
30:03We're on it.
30:05Good luck.
30:06I gotcha.
30:11Good news.
30:12You're not out of the woods, but you are stable.
30:17You know, your captain thinks she can play rumor.
30:20But it's a mistake to assume Breen think like humans do.
30:26We're nothing like you.
30:28Not even close.
30:29Well, I believe however different we are, there's always common ground.
30:34We found that with Maul.
30:36Maul loves me because of our differences.
30:40Not despite them.
30:46I didn't even think that was possible.
30:50You're straining yourself.
30:54Are you done prodding him?
30:55He needs to rest.
31:09We cannot let your uncle get us.
31:11Not before we have a pretendator's tech to burn with.
31:14The Federation will never give us up.
31:16Stuck in a break is just another kind of stuck.
31:20You need to make a run for it.
31:23I'm not leaving you.
31:24I'll get the docks to lower the containment shield.
31:26You go steal the shuttle.
31:28Beam me on board.
31:29We'll fly the hell away from here.
31:31Just like that.
31:32You'll have a better idea.
31:35What's your plan for the field?
31:39Let's just say...
31:40You're not gonna like it.
31:42You're not gonna like it.
31:52I love you.
31:53I love you too, Greenón.
31:54I love you too, Greenón.
31:56I love you too, Greenón.
31:58Are we ready?
32:22As we planned, then.
32:25Hail the Breen ship.
32:28Tell them we're prepared to hand over the fugitives.
32:31Hailing now, Admiral.
32:51Welcome aboard, Primark.
32:53I'm Admiral Vance.
32:55We've already met President Serena.
32:58The Primark demands, where are his prisoners?
33:08As the hour given is not yet finished,
33:11we would like to use what little time remains
33:13as an opportunity for conversation.
33:18The Primark declares he has no need for conversation.
33:22He wants what is his.
33:24No, what he said was he has no need to speak
33:26with spineless, insignificant awkwardness.
33:33A more accurate translation, yes?
33:41Hear our offer.
33:42Forty-five metric tons of raw dilithium, in trade for lifting the Aragorn.
33:48I will speak in your tongue so there can be no misunderstanding.
33:52The only payment for a blood bounty is blood.
33:56How much is spilled today, how much is spilled today, will be up to you.
34:00We would prefer to avoid conflict.
34:03Therefore, we will offer you one final chance to consider our request.
34:07You offer me?
34:10It is an insult.
34:11We tried to engage in diplomatic negotiations and have been refused, rebuffed, and now ridiculed.
34:18So we must make a difficult decision.
34:20Instead of delivering the prisoners to you,
34:22we will accept an offer we have received from Primark Tahal.
34:30Tahal?
34:31Captain Burnham and Commander Raynor have been the leads on negotiations with her.
34:35She has also taken interest in Locke.
34:38Having him by her side would greatly bolster her claim to the throne.
34:40Which is also the hope for you.
34:42This was never about an Aragorn.
34:45It's about power.
34:55You lie.
34:56Tahal would rather gnaw her own flesh than strike a deal with the Federation.
34:59She was fierce in her negotiations.
35:01But fair in her terms.
35:04This bluff wouldn't fool a harshly.
35:09I know Tahal well.
35:10I know she named her flagship the Tau Seti after a lethal viper with a slow-acting venom.
35:17Her favorite way of killing her enemies is when she wants to watch them die by degree.
35:21That's how she took my kinfolk on Kelerin when they rose against her at the Twin Gates.
35:26Would have killed me too, but she said she liked the way I fought.
35:33Ferocious, relentless, almost like a Breen, is how she put it.
35:39Do you still think we're bluffing, Primark?
35:41Bring me Locke, or I will blast this station into atoms.
35:46You would not, in fact, take such action for fear it might harm him.
35:50A risk we know you cannot afford.
35:57Hey, Starfleet.
35:58I need to talk to Captain Burnham.
36:03Commander Nan will return momentarily.
36:05Not her.
36:07Burnham.
36:08Okay.
36:09What's the problem here?
36:10I already told him I want to talk to Captain Burnham.
36:13Lower the field.
36:17That's an entire day's dose.
36:20You did this to yourself?
36:21I'm all right.
36:22Go.
36:23Go!
36:24Let her go!
36:33I'm trying to help you both.
36:45Dammit, Ball.
36:46Stop!
36:54I'll be back as soon as I can.
37:00Drop your weapon!
37:24Whatever the terms of your agreement with Tahal, we will exceed it.
37:36Lockpost, come to me.
37:37We have no desire to engage in a bidding war between your factions.
37:44There is a third option.
37:46We reject Tahal's offer.
37:49You leave here in peace.
37:51We keep the prisoners.
37:52And why would I accept that?
37:55Because we have a spore drive.
37:58And if you attack us, we can be gone with Lock to Tahal in seconds.
38:04But if we keep him, the scion is off the table and the status quo is maintained.
38:08You can settle your dispute with Tahal the way you always have in battle.
38:12Unless you fear you cannot defeat her.
38:22If any harm befalls a sign, at the hands of the Federation, war will be unavoidable.
38:28It is my foredoe.
38:30We give you our word that he will not be harmed while in our custody.
38:36Captain Burnham, it's Nan.
38:41Nan.
38:42Nan.
38:43More guyote.
38:44I'm going after her.
38:45Zora, can you locate her?
38:46There is no sign of her biometric data, Captain.
38:47Hang in there, Lock.
38:48Stay with me.
38:49How is that possible?
38:50We took all her gear from her when we captured her.
38:52She may have some implanted form of biometric cloaking technology.
38:54Damn it.
38:55Initiate lockdown protocol and see what you can do to help me find her.
38:57Respectfully, Captain.
38:58My detail, my prisoner.
38:59Go.
39:00Q?
39:01We're losing him.
39:02Not an option.
39:03You don't know enough about his physiology.
39:04We need him.
39:05We need him.
39:06We need him.
39:07We need him.
39:08We need him.
39:09We need him.
39:10We need him.
39:11We need him.
39:12We need him.
39:13We need him.
39:14We need him.
39:15We need him.
39:16We need him.
39:17We need him.
39:18We need him.
39:19We need him.
39:20We need him.
39:21We need him.
39:22We need a breen medic.
39:27I'll get you one.
39:28How?
39:29The Primark.
39:39Attention crew, all decks have been sealed under lockdown protocol.
39:42Repeat, we are on lockdown protocol.
39:44Zora, what's happening?
39:46One of the fugitives escaped sixth bay.
39:48Commander Nan's team is conducting a search.
39:50Mal, damn it.
39:52Wait, look, we already have a mission.
39:54Have any terminal's been used to access ship schematics?
39:56There was a login 30 seconds ago.
39:58Where?
39:59Terminal C7 on Deck 5.
40:01I need to go.
40:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
40:04No, no, Nan's after her.
40:05Just a no, Mal. I can tell.
40:06We have to solve this.
40:07Look, the mission has to be the priority.
40:15We need that final clue.
40:17Okay, the scientist was Betazoid,
40:22but the clue has no trace elements from Betazet.
40:25What about from one of their colonies?
40:27They didn't have any 800 years ago.
40:30We must be missing something.
40:31It feels like we should be further along.
40:33Yeah, yeah, you would think so.
40:38What did you just say?
40:40Oh, um, we must be missing something.
40:42No, you said something about, about feeling.
40:45That's it.
40:47Betazoids are telepaths.
40:49So what if Dr. Derricks created a transitive link
40:53between this card and the place it came from,
40:56and she would have left traces of her thoughts and emotions behind,
40:59and you're an empath.
41:01So maybe you could read them.
41:20Anything?
41:21Not with you talking, there won't be.
41:23You were right.
41:35I could see something.
41:37Empty space.
41:39Somewhere remote.
41:41Any cosmological details?
41:43Um, planets?
41:45Suns?
41:46Nebulae?
41:47A dust cloud.
41:48Huge storm.
41:50Not a dust storm.
41:52Plasma.
41:54Plasma storm?
41:55All right.
41:56And there's a noise, like an explosion.
41:58Plasma blast.
41:59Maybe a few?
42:00Huge remote plasma storm.
42:02Possible explosive plasma bursts,
42:04which would create ionic discharge.
42:06That's good.
42:07That's helpful.
42:14Okay.
42:16Anything else?
42:18Uh, yeah.
42:20Another feeling.
42:24Eternity.
42:25Eternal.
42:26Don't know what it means.
42:27I have to go.
42:31O2 saturation levels are still dropping.
42:33Try boosting throughput.
42:34That's your brain medic.
42:35They'll be beaming in any minute.
42:37The Primark will be joining us.
42:39It was the only way he would agree.
42:41Captain, they're beaming in now.
42:45Step away from him.
42:54Where's your second prisoner?
42:56She's being held elsewhere on the ship.
42:57If my nephew dies here,
42:59the Federation will pay.
43:05Hmm.
43:09Go run back.
43:10Copy.
43:11Thank you for alerting me.
43:12I may have misjudged you.
43:13Making things right is a process.
43:15And Locke, did he get out too?
43:17Well, he pulled a risky move and...
43:21Maul, lower your weapon!
43:25Ship's locked down.
43:26There's nowhere to go!
43:27She's got a map to shuttle bay!
43:29Shut up!
43:30What you did back in sick bay to get out!
43:32It backfired.
43:33Locke misjudged the dose.
43:37He may not make it.
43:39Yeah, nice try.
43:40Tell me a go farm on Bo Pack 3 while you're at it.
43:46Let me try.
43:50Mo?
43:51Hey, it's Book.
43:54Look, I'm coming out.
44:03Not another step!
44:05She isn't lying.
44:10Locke is your world.
44:13I know that.
44:15I also know what it's like to lose one.
44:17I don't miss your chance to be there with him.
44:24For him.
44:47Like you.
44:52I don't know.
44:54You're not lying.
44:56You're not lying.
44:57Give us a lie.
44:58I live.
45:00You're lying.
45:02Kill me.
45:04You're lying.
45:06I just don't miss you.
45:07Sister James, your name is for you,
45:08you're lying.
45:11I want you to take one.
45:12You're lying.
45:13You're lying.
45:15Play my soul.
45:16I'm sorry. I guess I used too much.
45:40Uncle, I need you with me.
45:46It's okay. You'll be okay.
45:52I promise.
45:59This isn't how our story ends.
46:04This isn't how our story ends.
46:16This isn't how our story ends.
46:22This isn't how our story ends.
46:29This isn't how our story ends.
46:35You killed the Scion.
46:37No, no. He did this to himself.
46:40He hacked a bio bed and injected himself with a massive dose of tricorges.
46:44Intention is nothing. Outcome is everything.
46:48Prepare for battle.
46:57Locke is dead.
46:58Rune has ordered the troops back to their ships and all torpedo systems to be armed.
47:02Everybody, just take it easy.
47:06Red alert! Shields up!
47:08If anyone's gonna make a move, I strongly suggest we be the first.
47:11What we do here, Admiral, will make waves that may strike many worlds.
47:15You wanna survive long enough to see that happen, because at this rate...
47:17Commander!
47:18Admiral, four warp signatures are arriving.
47:22There's Starfleet.
47:24On a moment or so.
47:39The Federation brought him to save him.
47:41We would have no reason to wish him any harm.
47:43He overdosed on a stimulant, part of a plan to escape.
47:46Those lies will be your last words.
47:48Wait!
47:51It's true.
47:53He did it for us.
47:55So we could be free.
47:56Your words are not proof.
47:59You think a war to avenge him will unite the brain behind you?
48:02If I cannot use the Sion in life, I will use him in death.
48:08Yeah.
48:09Well, I go where Locke goes.
48:15Even in death.
48:18This is the privilege of our joining.
48:21An abomination.
48:23No.
48:24A marriage.
48:26Which means you are obligated to take me with you.
48:30Well, what are you doing?
48:32I'm not talking to you.
48:34You will never be welcome among us.
48:36Maybe this will help.
48:38The Federation's hiding something from you.
48:41A power so great, you won't need Locke to claim the throne.
48:46No one will stand in your way.
48:48And I can get him for you.
48:49If you take me with you.
49:06If you wish to avoid war, she is my price.
49:09She is under our protection.
49:11I will allow you five minutes to transport her to my ship.
49:18She's not thinking straight.
49:19She is and she has a plan.
49:20Her motives are irrelevant at this moment.
49:22I have a decision to make on behalf of the Federation.
49:25That is where our attention should be.
49:27Okay, risk analysis.
49:40Does Ma know any details about the progenitor's technology
49:43that she hasn't yet told the brain?
49:45Non's team translated the rest of the diary.
49:47Nothing of substance,
49:48but there is a passage that may be pertinent.
49:50Dr. Velick believed that since the technology
49:53could be used to create life,
49:54it might also be used to revive the dead.
49:57Bit of a stretch.
49:58Doesn't matter.
49:58What matters is that she thinks it'll bring Locke back.
50:00That's why she's doing this.
50:01Well, why would she go with the brain?
50:03They have an Eragon on her head.
50:04Maul told us they'd use the technology to pay for it.
50:06So by helping the brain,
50:07she gets Locke and their freedom at the same time.
50:10Rune will kill her the second he has this technology.
50:12Maybe she has a plan for that, too.
50:13Are there further considerations from a strategic perspective?
50:16She doesn't have the clue from hell, no.
50:18We do.
50:19Once it's decoded, we can jump immediately.
50:21You can track our signature,
50:22but speed is on our side.
50:24You can't actually be considering this.
50:26We can't give her to them.
50:34We are now in a race with the Breen,
50:39whether they hold her in their custody or not.
50:41Well, shouldn't she be tried wife and Uncle Mel?
50:43She also committed crimes in Breen's face
50:46and will be held accountable or not according to their laws.
50:48Unfortunately, it seems
50:51there is little to be lost by allowing this
50:54and much to be lost by keeping her.
50:57with her.
51:12This is wrong, Michael.
51:14We figured it out.
51:26We figured it out.
51:40So the next clue is in a place called the Eternal Gallery and Archive.
51:44It changes location about every 50 years.
51:46We've found records for 18 different locations
51:49over the past 900 years or so.
51:51And each of those records mention a metal library card,
51:54which is used to gain access to a specific item stored in there.
51:57So...
51:58So where's the archive now?
51:59Well, thanks to Book,
52:00we know that it's in a region that has a lot of ionic discharge
52:03in close proximity.
52:07Every second counts.
52:08We don't have time to search all that.
52:10And we don't have to.
52:11Uh, Zora, can you please show us
52:12all the archive's known previous locations?
52:14And can you overlay the data sets?
52:16Of course, Ensign.
52:18The archive has been on a path
52:20moving through space over centuries.
52:22So tracing the prior locations,
52:24we land on a match here.
52:26This is where it is now.
52:28The Badlands.
52:29Been there.
52:30It's as fun as it sounds.
52:32And we won't stay long.
52:33We'll get in quick and get out even quicker.
52:35Really good work, team.
52:37Prepare to jump.
52:38Let's go get our last clue.
52:43Commander.
52:48Today must have been really difficult.
52:52Hell, I knew you'd need
52:53rather than giving an inch back to the Klingons.
52:56A lot of good death, did you?
53:00Yeah.
53:01Yeah.
53:03But you did really well today.
53:08What they did to my planet, though,
53:12never gonna happen again.
53:14We'll make sure of it.
53:23Status report.
53:24Com's channels are open, Captain.
53:25Spore drive system is in jump configuration.
53:27Shields and scanning systems are nominal.
53:29Science is standing by for location analysis.
53:31Commander Asher,
53:32there's gonna be some turbulence.
53:33I hope you like a challenge.
53:34Love a challenge, Captain.
53:35All right then.
53:37Black alert.
53:38Black alert.
53:39Black alert.
53:40Black alert.
53:45Black alert.
