00:00I
00:22Previously on Star Trek Discovery these experiences I've had now we're on this quest find the thing that
00:29Created us
00:30Paul hates the unknown and we've always been able to find answers together
00:35I don't know how to talk to him about this. It's time book
00:37They're designed to paralyze an enemy ship by randomly cycling them through time. The whole point is to keep us stuck
00:43Adira the time bug wasn't your fault. I brought it on board didn't I two signatures on the bridge?
00:49That's you and me three from sickbay. That's mall unlock and the clue they found it
00:58Oh
01:06This wasn't supposed to happen get away from us
01:09Captain system shows
01:11It's a taron warp pod two life signs sickbay equipment. It's got to be a life support system. It's more luck
01:16We'll find them. They left a warp signature. We'll track it. Paul is prepping to do a full chemical analysis of this vial
01:24And then we'll have our next stop
01:37You think scientists designed these clues to mock you when you can't figure them out
01:42I think this will work it better
01:46Clues installing us for two days any other test we can run it'll tell us something different than the hundred other tests
01:53We've already run. I don't think so
01:55The vial's composition's generic and the water inside remains pure inert distilled and wet
02:05The vial's damaged. Maybe there's a piece missing modified spectral analysis reveals the fluid in the style to be
02:12Still just distilled water
02:18The other clues had words had symbols
02:22They had more
02:23You know, I've reviewed scans from ISS enterprise multiple times. There was never anything else there
02:29I even tried fabricating the last two pieces of the map to see what happened when it could mean and let me guess nothing
02:38There's no shortcuts here
02:40We have to solve this clue to find the next and then the next and we need all five
02:44And somehow you are going to tell us where the pretenders power is
02:48So keep at it if chemistry isn't the solution try history
02:53anthropology
02:54Try planets where distilled water had cultural or symbolic significance 800 years ago
02:58And include worlds that had severe droughts and would have needed rainwater alternatives
03:02On it
03:04Thank you
03:06I
03:15I
03:19Still find it disorienting myself sometimes
03:23But you get used to it
03:25Here I was thinking you were born in here
03:28Give me a black alert within the hour
03:30What are our coordinates?
03:32Excuse me?
03:32I assume I'm here because you have a lead on Maul and Locke
03:36I know
03:37Not yet
03:38The USS Locker is handling the search
03:41This is Discovery's mission
03:43Finding the progenitor's technology is Discovery's mission
03:46And you seem to have your hands full at the moment
03:48This particular clue
03:51We are a bit stalled
03:55The scientists who hid the technology's location each made their own piece of the clue trail in secret
04:02Stands to reason they would have employed their respective fields of expertise in the process
04:07Don't you think?
04:09And then knowing the identity of the vile's creator might prove useful
04:15You found the names of the scientists
04:18I can be resourceful
04:20I know it's eccentric of me, but I do love the field of paper
04:28And this isn't replicated either
04:30This is a genuine 21st century legal pad
04:33Where did you even find that?
04:38Like I said
04:39I'm resourceful
04:41And you have a mission to see too
04:43What do you want me to help you, my heart?
04:50I want to cook our mofongo for Paul
04:51But I don't remember the recipe
04:55Nene, I don't have time for mofongo
04:57I have patients that have to see this night
04:59I don't know
04:59But, Abuela, you promised it
05:02The mofongo that you and I make
05:05Is inco-mible
05:07You know that every time
05:09I wait until you wake up to sleep at night
05:12To throw it
05:13And then use the food replicator
05:16And you always tell me
05:18Oh, Abuela, you have a tone
05:20Zora, pause the program
05:33Send a message to Dr. Pollard
05:36We might be onto something with this
05:37Grief alleviation therapeutic
05:41Brainwave patterning is incredible
05:45And this hollow of my grandmother is
05:50Exactly as I remember her
05:56I'm sending over my data in a few minutes
06:02Zora, start the program again
06:20And then I feel something that
06:25I don't know how to explain it
06:28You're feeling it right now?
06:35Can I help you understand what happened to me?
06:40No
06:44The program checked the database
06:46She should be able to answer that
06:47We spoke often about her spiritual feelings and practices
07:11Of course
07:11Okay, we haven't yet found clues from Dr. Derricks or Dr. Creel
07:19For the vial?
07:20I'm betting on Creel
07:22His specialty was designing weather modification towers to generate rain
07:26So we're going to Denobula
07:28Maybe not
07:30Zora, can you confirm
07:32Denobulan weather towers seed clouds with silver iodide, right?
07:37Yes, Commander
07:38That is typical of their function both at present and during Dr. Creel's time
07:42Right, so then the water would be filled with contaminants
07:46But it's ultra distilled
07:48Well, Creel's vial also mentioned he did work in weather technology for other worlds
07:55If a planet were arid enough
07:56Then water would have to be extracted from the air at the molecular level
08:00Which would mean no contaminants whatsoever
08:03Zora, how many m-class planets were on Denobulan trade routes when this vial was created?
08:07Fifteen
08:08And how many of them were dry enough that water would need to be harvested in that particular way?
08:14Only one, Captain
08:16Helemno
08:16Long range scans show a functioning weather tower of Denobulan design
08:29It manufactures rain and it emits a low-grade force field that shields the planet's only habitable region from dust storms
08:37We've been able to confirm that Dr. Creel designed the tower, so we believe the next clue is inside of it
08:43Why would he make a weather tower look like a mountain?
08:45That's a good question
08:46Ensign's Hall
08:48Any life signs down there?
08:50Uh, yes
08:52Humanoid
08:54Um, definitely pre-warp and pre-industrial
08:57Uh, there's no functioning electrical grid
09:01And geological surveys show that the storms on the planet have gotten increasingly more severe over time
09:07So maybe Dr. Creel installed the tower as a humanitarian mission and hit it so not to violate the prime directive
09:16Makes sense
09:18It's good to see you on the bridge ensign
09:20They requested more time up here. I thought they were ready
09:23Didn't necessarily mean today
09:24No time like the present
09:27Okay, so the prime directive will be a concern for us, too
09:30We'll need to get in and out without revealing our technological capabilities
09:33Can scans help us locate the clue inside of that thing?
09:36No, there is an unusual energy field surrounding the tower
09:39Won't let me beam you in either
09:41Any idea why?
09:42Uh, not yet, but we are working on it
09:44Okay, well while they get to the bottom of that, I will head to the surface with lieutenant Tilly
09:49We'll have to get inside of that tower before Maul and Locke make their next move
09:53Commander Asha, get us as close to the planet as you can without the ship being seen
09:57Aye, Captain
09:58You have the con, Rainer
09:59Aye, Captain
10:01Let's get to it
10:14If we come to the moon
10:16Let's get to it
10:20Yes, we will be
10:23And we'll have to meet the moon
10:24You have the moon
10:25Come to the moon
10:28Yes, we will be
10:29Someone
10:30You have the moon
10:31You have the moon
10:33I will be
10:34I will be
10:35God
10:36Thood
10:37Why
10:38You have the moon
10:40You have the moon
10:41We'll be
10:42For the moon
12:15It's not uncommon to find in cultures before communication technology evolves.
12:19You can learn so much about a society by the way the individuals speak to one another.
12:25Like the Humlin Knights.
12:26They don't have any terms to denote societal status or class.
12:34They recognize three distinct gender identities and they prize connection with one another despite the hardships that they face.
12:40And look, look here.
12:42They have multiple words for pain.
12:46Injury, hurt, dust.
12:49I feel like I'm back in Dr. DePrazzi's Zingo Linguistics Seminar on Vulcan.
12:53Wow, you can take the Zeno out of the Anthropologist, but you can't take the Anthropologist now.
12:59Huh, no, I lost it.
13:01Uh...
13:02We could really use you at the Starfleet Academy.
13:04Well, don't tempt me.
13:06How is it going over there, by the way?
13:08Captain, we've loaded subcutaneous comms into the transport system.
13:12Ensign Tall's also been playing with Starfleet's latest retinal tricorder mod.
13:16Should come in handy if you need to be discreet.
13:17Thank you, Commander.
13:19We're good to go.
13:20Take us down.
13:31Let's activate retinal tricorders.
13:33I think Dr. Creel could have picked a more gigantic place to hide the clue.
13:40I guess that's why the alumni call it the High Summit.
13:44Must have known you'd be well protected,
13:46since they believe they can commune with their gods there.
13:54So, do you want to talk about it?
13:56Hmm?
13:56The Academy?
13:57Oh, yeah.
13:59I just got a message from my student today, Cadet Ross.
14:02She actually served us drinks at the Millennium Celebration.
14:05Yeah, Ernest.
14:05Big smile.
14:06Yes.
14:07She's thinking about leaving the Academy to take a position on a cargo vessel,
14:10and she wants to know if I think she should do it.
14:13Hmm.
14:14So, what are you going to say?
14:16I don't know.
14:16Stay, don't go, I don't know.
14:18She wants to leave at all.
14:20She's not the first.
14:21You're not giving the cadets what they need.
14:23I don't know what the problem is.
14:26The whistle speak.
14:28The Universal Translator's got it.
14:30We've come here from afar.
14:32Let my voice call you home.
14:37We travel from the dust.
14:40Come rest, you must.
14:44We journey from the storms.
14:48In the summit, you'll be warm.
14:50Sounds like they're going where we're going.
14:51Hey, there you are.
14:59You got a minute?
15:00Yeah, heading to engineering.
15:01How can I help?
15:02I wondered if you could put me in touch with the ship's counselor on the locker room.
15:05When they find Monalock, I want them to have a full background.
15:08I know they can use me as a resource for anything.
15:10I'm sure they've been briefed.
15:11It's not the same.
15:12Look, you need to accept that there's nothing for you to do right now.
15:16I can't just sit on my hands for you.
15:17So find something to distract you.
15:19What's occupied your brain in the past?
15:21Focus on that.
15:23Recharge yourself so that you're ready when you are needed.
15:26You ever get tired of having all the answers?
15:29I'll check in with you later.
15:34Paul, I need your help with something.
15:37Can I pull you away?
15:39I'm looking to do a full neural scan on myself, and I could use an assistant.
15:43Neural scan?
15:45Is everything all right?
15:46Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything's fine.
15:48We don't have a lot of data on the neurological after effects of Shantara,
15:51and this is a chance to gather some.
15:53Are you having after effects?
15:56No, no.
15:59Maybe.
15:59Hugh, are you sure you're okay?
16:01Yeah, of course.
16:03We need this data, and, uh, well, when was the last time you and I got to work together?
16:08Might be nice.
16:09Nothing as romantic as a neural scan.
16:13So is that a yes?
16:15At your service.
16:16Great.
16:17I will, uh, prep everything, and we can start in the morning.
16:23I will, uh, prep everything, and we can start in the morning, and we can start in the morning, and we can start in the morning, and we can start in the morning.
16:29Hello.
16:29Hello.
16:34Hello.
16:37Greetings, compiers.
16:39We heard your call.
16:41Sounds like you were headed to the high summit.
16:43Yes.
16:44We've been following the beacon voice since the moonrise.
16:48We got lost.
16:49May we join you?
16:50Of course.
16:52We are nearly there.
16:53Apologies.
17:04I was clearing dust from an orchard and lost my way in the dry lands.
17:13The dry lands.
17:15Were you out there very long?
17:17I breathed dust for an entire night before the sun rose and my compiers could rescue me.
17:24Sounds frightening.
17:25I suppose it is why they encourage elders not to take turns at the edge of the storms.
17:32But if I did not clear the dust, another would need to take my place.
17:39Where are you coming from?
17:41Uh, we came to worship at the high summit.
17:43Ah, you wish to pray for Wayne.
17:46We have been without it for too long.
17:49Do any of the compiers go inside the summit to pray?
17:53Only the chosen devout may enter the temple.
17:56Surely you know that.
17:57Of course.
17:59But being from the east, the distance is far.
18:03Bless you, dear child.
18:05You've never seen the high summit before.
18:07No, no, we never have.
18:10But for dears, we have long to visit.
18:13The day is here.
18:15Come here.
18:18Compeers, you've arrived.
18:21I'm Rava.
18:22It is my voice that's been beckoning you home.
18:24Please come with me.
18:25I have water and food ahead.
18:30She's having trouble breathing.
18:32The healing grove.
18:33Quickly.
18:41Her medicine.
18:42I saw her inhaling it when we were walking.
18:44Maybe it's in her pack.
18:50Her lungs are full of dust.
18:52A sonic percussion wave would easily dislodge this.
18:55She doesn't have to die from this.
18:56We can't break the prompt of rectum.
18:58No, I know, I know.
18:58I know.
19:01You're not finding her medicine.
19:02Okay, I'm going to get her on her side.
19:08There they are, Father.
19:10Do not stop, Compeer.
19:11You're keeping her alive.
19:14Give these out.
19:15One to each.
19:16Quickly, form a tight circle around her.
19:25Stay strong, my good Compeer.
19:39Oh, my God.
19:40Oh, my God.
19:44Oh, my God.
19:45Oh, my God.
19:45Oh, my God.
19:46Oh, my God.
20:16Forgive me.
20:18I did not have time to warn you of the intensity of the sound cure.
20:22It's amazing that you found a cure at all.
20:25Really impressive.
20:29Hey, you're awake.
20:30Rava here has been telling me about the High Summit.
20:34I, too, I, too, was born far away.
20:36My father brought me here after my mother died, my father brought me here after my mother died and he became priest of the summit.
20:39I don't regain her strength, Rava.
20:40I don't regain her strength, Rava.
20:41But they were on the front lines.
20:42When my turn comes, I'll clear that dust.
20:43I'll clear that dust twice as fast as anyone else.
20:45Rava, the most important thing, Rava, the most important thing is to work in harmony with the rest of your Compeers.
20:50Of course, you're right, father.
20:51But it's clear you're very strong.
20:54We're eager to enter the High Summit to give thanks to the gods.
20:59The gods do not require you to enter the temple to give thanks.
21:02But you could get in if you wanted to.
21:04You just have to complete the journey of the Mother Compeer.
21:07Rava, yes.
21:08Journey of the Mother Compeer?
21:09It's a race and a test of devotion because it's quite grueling.
21:13Everyone says that we're due because watching the race makes the gods happy and we've been without rain for so long.
21:18Only the one who wins is worthy of entering the temple.
21:20There, they're close to the gods and they can ask for their blessing.
21:23Let's discuss another time, Rava.
21:25Our Compeer's only just arrived.
21:26But we wish to show our devotion in whatever way we can.
21:29And this is perfect.
21:30If you make the request, we could do it tomorrow morning.
21:33Isn't that right, father?
21:34One just has to make the request.
21:35That's how it works.
21:37Then I make the request.
21:41Nothing's more important to us than entering that summit.
21:56Oh, good morning, Compeers.
22:21Are there any messages you'd like me to bring to the gods when I see them?
22:26You're running there?
22:28You've inspired me as you've inspired the others.
22:31The difficulty of the journey is legendary.
22:33Most don't even finish.
22:35Rava, do you have a word?
22:38No, father.
22:39I'm getting ready.
22:41You were too young to take the journey.
22:42I'm stronger than you think I am.
22:48You're wearing that today?
22:52I wish for Mother to watch over me.
22:57Baba, I promised her that...
22:59You would keep me a child forever?
23:01No, that I would protect you.
23:03I've grown, father.
23:05I'm devoted.
23:06You must see that.
23:07As we compare, tradition demands we begin the preparations.
23:11Jewish.
23:20You know, I have a student, um, back east.
23:25She reminds me a lot of you.
23:27She just wants to get out there and do as fast as she can.
23:30It can be hard to even...
23:32just as a teacher to step back.
23:35I can only imagine what it would be like as a parent.
23:40My father's a great man.
23:42And I want to show him that I can be great, too.
23:46Come here.
23:47May I have a moment?
23:52We're alone, Discovery.
23:53We don't have much time.
23:54We'll talk fast, then.
23:55Hanson tall chased down Hunch and found something interesting.
23:59I did a historical regression of Lemno's weather patterns,
24:03and the data indicated that there might have been other weather towers in the past.
24:07We sent down a team of dots into the dust storm.
24:09Check it out.
24:10We found four more towers.
24:13Over time, the others failed.
24:15Their energy distribution matrices fell out of alignment.
24:18And that's the same thing that's happening to the high summit.
24:21That's what's causing the energy field
24:22stopping us from beaming you inside for the clue.
24:24Okay.
24:25What's the solve?
24:26All of the towers have an auxiliary control panel hidden nearby.
24:29If you can find the one near the high summit,
24:31it should be easy enough to reset any of the components
24:33that have failed over time.
24:35Adira, were there settlements around any of the other weather towers?
24:37Uh, all of them, in fact.
24:39They were destroyed when the towers failed.
24:41So if we don't fix this one, everyone here will die.
24:44Thank you, Discovery.
24:45My mission just became two.
24:50Well, we've checked for biological, chemical, and genetic anomalies,
24:54and, um, turns out you have a perfectly typical, healthy,
25:00and rather handsome human brain.
25:04So, no lasting neurological effects of Jontara whatsoever?
25:09None.
25:15There's something you're not saying.
25:22It's just I was hoping these scans would give me an answer.
25:27You know, a physiological cause for what I'm feeling.
25:32Then I'd understand that I could talk about it.
25:34I don't understand.
25:35Are you feeling sick, or...?
25:37No.
25:38Uh, the opposite.
25:40Ever since Trill, I've felt more connected,
25:48more, um, attuned to something greater than myself.
25:56Greater than all of us.
25:59But if there's no scientific reason for it, then...
26:02So it's a spiritual thing?
26:06Hey, what matters most is that you're okay.
26:12The scans would have picked up anything with health implications,
26:15so in lieu of that, I say, why don't you just enjoy it?
26:21Really?
26:23The human brain, with its billions of neurons,
26:26each with thousands of connection points,
26:29is one of the most complex things in the known universe.
26:32So...
26:33Enjoy it.
26:37Great.
26:51Race is about to begin.
26:52Are you not happy to come here?
26:54Are you not enjoying today?
26:57I was thinking of the last time there was a journey.
26:59I ran, as did my friend Varali.
27:04She was so fast.
27:07Of course she wasn't.
27:09It was long ago.
27:11I am thinking about Varali
27:13and what we might look like
27:15if we could be wrinkled all the elders together.
27:19You would look beautiful.
27:22You know,
27:23you need not go to the High Summer to be with the gods.
27:27They are with us when we do good for one another,
27:30but we love when we save each other as you saved me.
27:35We don't need to run to see them.
27:38I know.
27:39I...
27:40It's something that I dreamed of my whole life.
27:43I understand that.
27:45And I shall pray for you.
27:47Everything all right?
27:57I think so.
27:58My good and blessed compiers,
28:01it is our great fortune to bear witness
28:03to the journey of the mother compere today.
28:07Legend tells us that in ancient times,
28:10all of Halemna was fertile and gentle,
28:12but even in such a land of plenty,
28:14the Halemnites warred against each other
28:16and lost the favor of the gods.
28:18Punish us, they brought the dust storms.
28:21We would have ended our days
28:23in thirst and dust
28:25if the great mother compere
28:26hadn't shown the gods our true selves.
28:30She ventured out into the storms
28:31and traveled far to find water for her children.
28:34As she journeyed back with it,
28:36her lungs filled with dust.
28:38Her thirst was terrible,
28:39and yet she didn't drink a single drop.
28:42She reached her children
28:43and gave them the life-giving water.
28:45She saved them and breathed her last.
28:49The gods were so moved by her sacrifice,
28:52they brought back the reins.
28:54Today, as you journey around the high summit,
28:57bearing a terrible thirst,
28:59you too will endure this test.
29:01May you remind the gods of the mother compere
29:03of her devotion, our devotion,
29:06and earn their merciful reign.
29:09A courageous attempt compares.
29:14You are now disqualified.
29:17Again!
29:18Try not to fall behind.
29:20We have to get that close.

29:37लुश लफ dime
29:42I just need a minute.
29:55They've all got to get water at some point, right?
30:05We have endurance.
30:06We have Starfleet training.
30:08You keep telling yourself that.
30:10Let's go.
30:11I know we're going to pull behind.
30:13Body in motion.
30:14Oh, we need a motion.
30:23Body in motion.
30:24It stays in motion.
30:25What?
30:26What?
30:27Body.
30:28Body at rest.
30:31Look at the moss on the trees.
30:33Most of it's blue, but some of it's yellow.
30:35That's a genetic mutation.
30:37If we're controlled by it, we're 800 years old.
30:39It would leak radiation, right?
30:41And if it is leaking radiation, it would be causing mutations.
30:46If I'm right, then this moss would lead to a control panel.
30:49And if you're wrong...
30:52Then one of us still needs to win this race.
30:55And get that clue.
30:57Go.
30:58Really?
30:59Go chase your moss.
31:01I'm the queen of endurance.
31:03Body in motion.
31:05Remains in motion.
31:07I'm out!
31:08I'm out!
31:09I'm out!
31:10I'm out!
31:11Goodrai!
31:12Don't be a jerk.
31:13Noo.
31:14Ah!
31:15Ah!
31:16Ah!
31:17Ack!
31:18We got that!
31:20Ah!
31:21Ah!
31:22Ah!
31:23Ah!
31:24Ah!
31:25Ah!
31:26Ah.
31:27Ah!
31:28Ah!
31:29Ah!
31:30Ah!
31:31Ah!
31:32Ah!
31:33Ah!
31:34Ah!
31:35Ah!
31:36Ah!
31:37Ah!
31:38Ah!
31:39No, don't give up now, come here, it's just the two of us left.
31:46I want some male competition.
31:48You're a little shit, you know that?
31:50I can't hear you, I'm too far ahead.
31:52I think I'm not gonna beat you.
31:54Okay, get over here, come here.
32:09Discovery, I found the tower control panel.
32:34Scanning it now.
32:39This tech requires periodic maintenance, without that it was bound to fail eventually.
32:46So, how do I fix it?
32:50You'll need to rebuild the motherboard without shutting it down by accident.
32:55No pressure, tell me what to do.
32:58Do you see a small red chip on the far left hand side?
33:03Yes, I see a lot of them.
33:05Sorry, in the top left corner.
33:07We'll start by rerouting that to the override system.
33:12Oh, we're almost there.
33:16Stop!
33:18Near the end of the Mother Compere's journey, the gods tempted her to drink.
33:23So our final two racers must now complete the journey while carrying temptation.
33:37So, the other thanks can deliver the Despite the
33:42power of the others.
33:44Let's make the powers.
33:46Let's make the powers.
33:47Let's make the powers all the way.
33:48Let's make the powers!
33:51Ha!
33:52Ha!
33:53Ha!
33:54Ha!
33:55Ha!
33:56Ha!
33:57Ha!
33:58Ha!
33:59Ha!
34:00Ha!
34:01Ha!
34:02Ha!
34:03Ha!
34:04Ha!
34:05Oh!
34:06Oh!
34:07Oh!
34:11Spilling your water is a disqualification, Rava.
34:14Please, child.
34:15Come.
34:16It's like your thirst.
34:17A racer cannot complete the journey with an empty bowl.
34:21It was a noble effort, Rava.
34:30Come, Rava.
34:34Come, Rava.
34:40I thought you were gonna give me a little competition.
34:43It's over.
34:47Come.
34:52Come.
34:53Come.
34:54Come.
35:00Let's come meet the gods together.
35:02Yes.
35:03Come.
35:04Come.
35:05Come.
35:06Come.
35:07Come.
35:08Come.
35:09Come.
35:10Come.
35:11Come.
35:12Come.
35:13Come.
35:14Come.
35:15Come.
35:19Okay.
35:20That wasn't it.
35:21I'm gonna try another isolating your chip.
35:23Sir, maybe we should get someone with more experience to help support the captain?
35:27You're the one who wanted to be on the bridge.
35:29I know.
35:30Um, but...
35:31But nothing.
35:32I wouldn't have agreed if I thought you couldn't handle it.
35:33You've been second-guessing yourselves since that time bug came on board.
35:36That's not on you.
35:37Understood?
35:41Got it.
35:42Okay, Anson, what's next?
35:43Last step, right?
35:46Bring it home.
35:51Okay.
35:52Uh, Captain, I need you to bypass the auxiliary power circuit.
35:56Bypass.
35:57Yank it out, Captain.
36:02Come on, come on.
36:07We got lights.
36:10Okay, I will have you beaming into the tower in no time.
36:13Nice work, Anson.
36:16Tilly, we solved the interference issue.
36:17Where are you now?
36:19I'm in the temple.
36:20You won the race?
36:21Rob and I tied.
36:22We're both here.
36:24Problem is, I don't see the clue anywhere.
36:26Well, we just got the control panel back online, so we'll be able to transport a team over in just a few minutes.
36:30It is time.
36:32Hang on, O'Vaz is speaking.
36:43Don't be sad, Father.
36:45We'll speak to the gods.
36:46We'll bring the rain.
36:48We are so grateful to you both.
36:50To you both.
36:52Your sacrifice will bless Halemno for many seasons to come.
36:57Sacrifice?
36:58Take this, Father.
37:00I won't need it to remember Mother anymore.
37:02Tilly, get out of there.
37:03Now.
37:05Uh, no.
37:06Uh, O'Vaz?
37:07Wait.
37:08Wait.
37:09Wait.
37:10Wait.
37:12O'Vaz!
37:13Discovery, can you beam her out?
37:14Can't get a lock, Captain.
37:15O'Vaz!
37:16Discovery, status report, have you been able to get a lock on Lieutenant Tilly?
37:33Nothing's working, Captain.
37:34Something's scrambling my signal.
37:35I think I know why.
37:36These walls are solid tritanium.
37:37Which is your transport transport lock.
37:38Dammit!
37:39It's not one thing, it's another with this place.
37:40Okay, it looks like you're in the vacuum chamber.
37:41Chemicals come up that center column and mix with air and whatnot from the room above
37:42and get shot into the atmosphere.
37:43I'm sorry.
37:44I'm sorry.
37:45I'm sorry.
37:46I'm sorry.
37:47I'm sorry.
37:48I'm sorry.
37:49I'm sorry.
37:50I'm sorry.
37:51I'm sorry.
37:52I'm sorry.
37:53I'm sorry.
37:54I'm sorry.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:56I'm sorry.
37:57I'm sorry.
37:58I'm sorry.
37:59I'm sorry.
38:00I'm sorry.
38:01I'm sorry.
38:02I'm sorry.
38:03I'm sorry.
38:04I'm sorry.
38:05I'm sorry.
38:06They're all in the room.
38:07They come and mix with air and whatnot from the room above and get shot into the atmosphere
38:08to make it rain.
38:09And seeing that it's a vacuum chamber, I'm guessing that in the process it sucks all the
38:11air out of there.
38:12Makes sense the room's made of tritanium.
38:13If it weren't, it'd crumple.
38:14Oh, good.
38:15At least we won't get smushed.
38:16Who are you speaking to?
38:17Oh, uh-oh.
38:18Just praying to the gods.
38:19That's...
38:20That's good.
38:21They'll be pleased.
38:30We need more time.
38:42The gods are coming.
38:44They'll take our breath and replace it with their own.
38:48You look frightened, Kumpir.
38:50Are you frightened?
38:51No, I'm not frightened.
38:53I'm sad.
38:57You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
38:59I'm grateful.
39:01I'm going to see the gods.
39:03Come.
39:05The Serenity Wall is here.
39:07We'll pray together.
39:08You won't be frightened anymore.
39:10Tilly, I'm coming to get you.
39:12Discovery, if you cannot beam her out, beam me in.
39:14As close to that chamber as possible.
39:16Okay, there's a control room right next to it.
39:18Sir, I'm picking up a life sign in there.
39:20Okay, that has to be Obaz.
39:22We have to wait for him to leave.
39:24No, you beam me in now.
39:25You'll be revealing yourself to a pre-warp civilization.
39:28I'm aware.
39:29We're going to have to answer for the Prime Directive violation.
39:31And we will.
39:32We are not letting them die for no reason.
39:34If the Hellenites can't maintain this technology, they're going to get wiped out sooner or later.
39:37Either way, we have to do this.
39:39Aye, Captain.
39:40Stand by.
39:41These symbols here, what do they mean?
39:45They're numbers to help us recall the five serenity prayers.
39:49If we say them, we'll find peace before we pass.
39:53It's foretold.
39:55I don't see any numbers.
39:57I thought you were a teacher.
40:01I mean, um...
40:02They don't teach ancient Hellenese in the East.
40:13One.
40:19Two.
40:19Three.
40:30We're in the third summit.
40:34Four.
40:39Five.
40:40I've seen this symbol before.
40:41Represent each of the summits there once were.
40:44That God's destroyed all the others, but left only ours.
40:51That's why we must sacrifice.
40:54To show them that we are worthy of their gift.
41:09I'm sorry, Kumpir.
41:11Oh.
41:12It's okay to be scared.
41:15I don't want to die.
41:17I only took the journey to make my father proud, but now...
41:20Yeah, it's okay.
41:25It's okay.
41:27Come here.
41:29Shh.
41:29Shh.
41:33Maybe the gods will figure out a way to spare us.
41:35I failed you.
41:43My heart's Kumpir.
41:47I wanted to forbid our child from taking the journey.
41:51How could I?
41:53How could I be selfish when all our people suffer for each other?
41:56Oh, my God.
41:59What?
42:00Yeah.
42:01How did you...
42:01Where did you come from?
42:02I need you to open this door.
42:04You're not really here.
42:06I am here.
42:07Listen to me.
42:08You have to open this door.
42:11Rob, I was going to see you guys.
42:12My friend is in there.
42:13You feel grief?
42:14She doesn't want to die.
42:15And she doesn't need to die.
42:17Rob, I don't need to die.
42:18Oh, Boz.
42:19Oh, Boz.
42:19We are standing inside of a machine.
42:21This is a piece of technology.
42:23Technology?
42:26It was placed here hundreds of years ago by an alien race.
42:29The sacrifices don't bring them away.
42:31Okay?
42:32Technology does.
42:36No.
42:37No, you're not too much yours to you.
42:39But you have a duty.
42:40Please deliver me from...
42:44Deliver me.
42:46Dilly!
42:47Are you hearing all this?
42:49I am.
42:51But we're running out of air.
42:53I'm going to get you out of there, okay?
42:54I need you to talk to Robba.
42:56See if they can help me reach Ovoz.
42:58Rob.
43:01Do you remember your mother?
43:03I do.
43:04What do you remember about her?
43:09There was a song...
43:11to help me sleep.
43:14I sang it together.
43:16We were once together.
43:18Will you teach it to me?
43:24I'll sing it to you while you fall asleep.
43:27I don't remember...
43:29the words.
43:31Only...
43:33tune.
43:34Yeah, the tune's enough.
43:35I had to let you find it.
43:36What are you doing?
43:37I have a little bit of a drink.
43:38Trust me.
43:39I'm sure...
43:41I have to tell you.
43:42I guess it's sad for you.
43:42I think you...
43:44when you tell me a secret...
43:45I've got to try to play.
43:47I'm sure you need to be sure.
43:49If you don't get to play.
43:51I have to play.
43:53I'm too good.
43:54I'm different.
43:55I'm different.
43:56I know you ready...
43:56I'm different.
43:57I'm different.
43:58I'm different.
43:59I know you do.
44:00I'm different.
44:02I know you're different.
44:02You're different.
44:03You're different.
44:03How do you know that song?
44:15I can hear them from the other room.
44:18My technology lets me do that, too.
44:21I don't understand.
44:22Rafa remembers their mother singing that song so many years ago.
44:27They are dying of us.
44:29They don't want to die.
44:30Are you a god?
44:35No, I am not.
44:37I am a person from really far away.
44:40Almost as far away as those who put the technology here.
44:42And I want to help you.
44:44I am here to help you save your child.
44:47And my friend from dying a needless death.
44:51I have no one to do.
44:52Rafa, I am not a god.
44:55But I don't know, maybe I was said to you, I want...
44:58Hear me when I tell you, the rains will come whether or not Rafa dies.
45:03Trust me.
45:05Please let them live.
45:06Please, Rafa.
45:12They're not breathing.
45:14Please, Rafa.
45:21They're not breathing.
45:23Here.
45:24My team can save them.
45:26My team can save Rafa.
45:28They can save them.
45:29Come on.
45:30Let them work.
45:31Yeah.
45:32Come on.
45:33Come on.
45:34Come on.
45:35Let them work.
45:36This.
45:37This.
45:38This is Elevno.
45:39This is what it looks like from our ship.
45:41It's...
45:42It's...
45:43more beautiful than Mr. Smith.
45:44It's something.
45:44But, come on.
45:45Come on, let them work.
45:46Come on.
45:47Let them work.
45:47Come on.
45:49Come on, come on.
45:50Let them work.
45:51Let them work.
45:54Yeah.
45:55Come on.
45:56Let them work.
45:57Come on, come on.
45:58Come on, come on.
46:01Let them work.
46:02This...
46:03This is Elevno.
46:04This is what it looks like from our ship.
46:06It's more beautiful than I could have imagined.
46:36You said that an alien race gave us the High Summit to save us from the dust storms.
46:45Why?
46:46The Denobulans.
46:48They value one another greatly, just as you do here.
46:52They come from a world much like your own, with massive storms.
46:56And they built weather towers to keep them at bay.
47:00I suppose in their travels, felt a connection to you and wanted to help.
47:07You should know that the tower, the High Summit, is failing.
47:16We fixed it for now, but it will stop working eventually if it isn't maintained.
47:22We can show you how.
47:25Thank you, but does all this mean...
47:30Are there no gods?
47:34Are there...
47:36What is there?
47:38There is still what you believe.
47:41Nothing we have shown you means gods don't exist.
47:44Or that the journey of the Mother Compeer did not...
47:47It's just that now you know that there is also...
47:50Us.
47:52What do I say to my people?
47:56The sacrifices unite us.
47:59They help us see a common purpose.
48:02I fear how my people will react if we take this away so suddenly.
48:07In the past, attempts to stop the sacrifices have been met with violence.
48:12And upheaval.
48:14You are wise to consider that.
48:16But there are those among you who seem ready...
48:19To move beyond the sacrifices.
48:21The woman you healed.
48:23Enora.
48:24She finds order in...
48:26Your people's commitment to one another.
48:29She told me the sacrifices aren't necessary to bring one closer to the gods.
48:33Maybe others are ready to understand that too.
48:36Beliefs can evolve.
48:38Denying that can cause almost as much chaos as the worst in the world.
48:47Rava bewakes it.
48:48I'm given the circumstances.
48:49I believe they should see their father when they do.
48:52Did we do a good sting?
49:05Mmm.
49:06And you're alive.
49:07That's a really good thing.
49:08You know how much paperwork I'd have to fill out?
49:10For losing a perfectly good Starfleet officer.
49:13In addition to the paperwork you're already gonna have to fill out for breaking the Prime Directive.
49:17Oh gosh.
49:18Okay.
49:19I'm about to make you even happier that you saved me.
49:22Anyway, does this look familiar?
49:24Perhaps you recognize this from a certain vial containing a drop of pure distilled water.
49:30Yes.
49:31The scratch is on the side.
49:32What are these?
49:33There are numbers in ancient Hallamnese.
49:35One for each of the five towers.
49:37We are in the third town.
49:39Ah.
49:40The vial had the same marks as the clueless in Tower Five.
49:44Father?
49:45Are you with the gods as well?
49:47No, my child.
49:48We defied them?
49:49No.
49:50The rains won't come.
49:51Listen.
49:52Perhaps devotion means being able to hear when the gods tell us something new.
49:53I'm very proud of you, Rava.
49:54You're so full of light.
49:55I'm very proud of you, Rava.
49:56You're so full of light.
49:57I'm very proud of you.
49:58I'm very proud of you.
49:59I'm very proud of you, Rava.
50:00Perhaps devotion means being able to hear when the gods tell us something new.
50:07I'm very proud of you, Rava.
50:10You're so full of light, courage, and song.
50:15Just like your mother.
50:17Raidz, they've come.
50:45Come.
51:15Oh, cheeky, aren't we?
51:30Oh, watch it now.
51:33Zora said you were here.
51:40And I see you found a distraction.
51:43The next best thing.
51:43Why not the holodeck simulator?
51:46I can always tell it's not a real ship.
51:49Broke feet?
51:50I thought you'd be hungry.
51:51My grandmother's mofongo con pollo al ajillo.
51:55Replicate or fresh.
52:04Welcome.
52:06Smells amazing.
52:12Mmm.
52:13So you asked me earlier, I get tired of having all the answers.
52:19I mean, it's a joke.
52:21I know.
52:22It's just, I don't is the thing.
52:25What's going on?
52:27What's going on?
52:29I'm having a, uh, spiritual awakening.
52:34Or maybe I'm just seeing a truth I've always known, but ever since John Tara, nothing else explains it.
52:48Sounds kind of wonderful.
52:50I told Paul.
52:55I don't think he really understood.
52:59I don't know that he ever will.
53:01So?
53:01Well, he's my partner.
53:05It's not quirk, really.
53:08It's human tendency to consider something less meaningful.
53:12It was just for yourself.
53:15I remember Michael dealing with it.
53:21Even though deep down that feeling of being alone was the oldest and closest friend she ever had.
53:27But still, you know, it's what made me love her.
53:36You miss her.
53:39I see her every day.
53:42But you miss what you had.
53:45You think you can get it back?
53:52One answer at a time, Doc.
53:55Courtesy of tower number five.
54:10It had a metal card attached with some kind of Betazoid text inscription.
54:17Samus is analyzing it so we can see where to go next.
54:20What do you think Dr. Creel was trying to tell us hiding the clue there?
54:24Well, he couldn't have known that leaving behind a weather tower would lead the Illuminites to sacrificing one another.
54:30It's a massive responsibility, technology.
54:34Maybe that's the real message.
54:37When we find the Regenitor's creation,
54:42we need to be so careful.
54:48Excuse me, Captain.
54:49Go ahead, Lieutenant Christopher.
54:51We just got a message from Fed HQ.
54:53The USS Locker just found Mal and Lock.
54:56Admiral Vance requests that we jump to their location immediately.
54:59Okay, lock in coordinates.
55:01Let's not make them wait.
55:03Hmm.
55:04Hmm.
55:14Hmm.
