00:00You
00:23Previously in Star Trek Discovery. Where are we? Not where? When? It's a time bug.
00:28They're designed to paralyze an enemy ship by randomly cycling them through time. The whole point is to keep us stuck.
00:33This has to be Maul and Locke. So they know exactly where we are. And where the next clue is.
00:38And once we're ahead of discovery, we can get the next clue and the next.
00:42We've got this.
00:43We are gonna find the progenitor's tech. No more running. And no more bounty on our heads.
00:49We'll be free. Free sounds good. The outcome you feared came to pass. Is that ship Breen? Yes.
00:56Somehow they got the progenitor's technology. It must have been Maul and Locke's highest bidders.
01:03That's Maul. She's the daughter of Mementa, Cleveland Book of the Fourth. Which, I suppose, makes her the closest thing to family I've got left.
01:12We are back to the present. We've only lost six hours.
01:16The past hasn't been altered. We did it.
01:19Let's figure out what's changed in the last six hours. Can the dots tell us anything?
01:22They did find something, Captain. A warp signature. It matches with Locke and Maul's ship.
01:27Where are Maul and Locke now?
01:28That's a strange thing. Their trail disappears. Like, they came here and now they're just... gone.
01:33Wherever they are, that's where the next clue is. And these are the right coordinates, so it's a mystery indeed.
01:38And let's get to solving it.
01:44Personal log. Cleveland Booker. Stardate 866282.9.
01:52My mentor. The man who gave me my name. My new life.
01:57He used to say, no matter how bad things get, the one thing you always have is a choice.
02:03I'd be lying if I said I hadn't made some questionable ones. But I've made some good ones too.
02:13Which is how I know it's not too late for his daughter.
02:18If I can turn things around, so can she. Cleveland showed me how things could be.
02:26Who I could be. And I suppose just in doing that, he saved me.
02:31I owe it to him to do the same for her.
02:37Today, I may get my chance.
02:42We're at their last known coordinates.
02:45Seems like we're about to find them.
02:57All right. Commander Standmates, Lieutenant Tilly, it's all you.
03:09Thank you, Captain. When we arrived here at the coordinates Janal gave us, it seemed there was
03:14nothing but a dispersed nebula and a warp trail from Mala Lock that disappeared into empty space.
03:20Emphasis on seemed. Now we have a pretty good idea of where they went.
03:25Zora, adjust the view screen to compensate for the Lorenzian coefficient in high energy spectra.
03:31Of course, Lieutenant.
03:40What is that?
03:41That is a wormhole of sorts. We just couldn't see it until we recalibrated our scans.
03:48We believe it leads to a pocket of interdimensional space. The opening is collapsing and expanding due to
03:55matter-antimatter chain reactions likely caused by the burn.
03:58That's what we have to pass through to get to the next clue.
04:01And based on the trajectory of the warp trail, Mullen Lock should be in there as well.
04:05Nice work, both of you. Thank you.
04:09Lieutenant Gallo, what are scans telling us?
04:11Not much. That aperture scrambling my readings.
04:14We won't know what we're dealing with until we're on the other side.
04:16Discovery's too big to get through it. It'd have to be a shuttle.
04:19Lieutenant Christopher, will you be able to maintain comms contact?
04:22I'll do my best, but not knowing what's inside there, I can't guarantee it.
04:25Okay. Lieutenant Linus, prepare a shuttle.
04:29Tell engineering to boost comms and fortify shields.
04:31And Commander Reese, have a security team on standby.
04:34I'll go. And I'll bring Book with you.
04:40Commander Raynor, you have the comm.
04:43Captain Burnham.
04:46A word?
04:48With respect, it's too risky a mission for the ship's captain.
04:51Let me take it.
04:53I appreciate the suggestion, but I need you here on the ship.
04:56Well, at least take a security team.
04:58Our advantage is Book's personal connection to Maul.
05:01If we bring in a security team, the implied threat nullifies that advantage.
05:04I feel the same responsibility you do.
05:07We both saw a future where the brain destroyed everything.
05:09But that's only one possible future.
05:12You can't let that cloud your tactical judgment.
05:14This decision is tactical.
05:16So, what's this really about for you?
05:22You have permission to be blunt.
05:24As they say in the Battle of Kroll, serve it without a grumb of Ossacot.
05:29That is, uh, classic work on Kelloran.
05:33I did my research on your culture, just like you did on mine.
05:37So without Ossacot?
05:39Nothing to report.
05:41I'm just doing my job.
05:43Part of that is to protect you.
05:47When's the last time you took the con from another captain?
05:50Couldn't say.
05:52Been a while.
05:54Look, we haven't worked together very long.
05:57We have different styles.
05:59But I wouldn't want to disadvantage any mission, especially not one this important.
06:04I know you can lead this crew, Commander.
06:08I believe in you.
06:12You have your orders.
06:25The ship feels good.
06:26appearing like Grudge when she's killed something.
06:33What do you think he'll say tomorrow, if we find them?
06:39Don't know.
06:42Maybe we're not so different.
06:44Me and her.
06:46Us and them.
06:47Four Macquarie's.
06:49That sort of thing.
06:50Cleveland, of course.
06:55I think I can reach her.
06:58We'll need to bring them in.
07:00Either way.
07:04Sounds like that time bug of theirs was a real pain in the ass.
07:10Come on.
07:12We must have had some fun with it.
07:14Known exactly what was going to happen.
07:16There were still some surprises.
07:24Closing in on the aperture.
07:27We need to increase our speed.
07:28We're not going to make it through the opening in time at this rate.
07:30Even if our gunned it, we could still get caught in that thing.
07:32There's a butt in there, I hope.
07:34But as soon as I finish charging the impulse capacitors themselves,
07:36I can release them into the drive coils.
07:38Give us a boost.
07:39Let's don't burn out our engines.
07:41We still have to get back.
07:42There's an old Quajon saying,
07:44never return from a hunt without enough bait for the carrion reaver.
07:49Catchy.
07:49Okay, we have to time this perfectly.
07:55Got the cycles on lock.
07:56Hang on, Mom.
07:57Discovery, we're heading in.
07:58All right, Captain, standing by.
08:00Ready, in three, two, one, go.
08:05How are we doing, Book?
08:19It'll be close.
08:21Hang on.
08:28Captain, are you okay?
08:32Did you make it in safely?
08:33We're okay, we made it.
08:35We're picking up some interference, though.
08:37Captain, Lieutenant Christopher.
08:42Trying to get her back, sir.
08:43Sacking through all frequencies.
08:44Commander Stamets, to the science lab.
08:46I need you to boost comms.
08:48Bring whoever you need.
08:49On my way.
08:50Eyes up, everyone.
08:51Captain's counting on us.
08:53Yellow alert.
08:57Visibility shit in here.
08:58It's exotic matter of some kind.
09:00It's wreaking havoc on our sensors.
09:03And our holopads.
09:05Flying deaf and blind.
09:06Good times.
09:08Book, watch out.
09:09Hang on.
09:14Debris is not a good sign.
09:19That's monologue's ship.
09:22Half of it, anyway.
09:25The average must have caught the stern
09:27when they were passing through.
09:30If they made it.
09:35Maybe.
09:38If they made it into that.
09:44ISS.
09:46It's mirror universe.
09:52How did it end up in interdimensional space?
09:56I don't know.
10:03It's gotta be one hell of a story.
10:14Half of it's�...
10:22Like me.
10:24Man.
10:24Jesus.
10:25He loved him.
10:25Its encounter through,
10:26He loved him.
10:27He loved his map.
10:27He loved him.
10:28He loved him.
10:28He had diamond limited space.
10:29His trough with hisfoil.
10:29He loved him.
10:29His former red light,
10:30blessed army took us.
10:31se.
10:31His journey became the right of favour.
10:31And he jumped frei.
10:32I keep digging alive.
10:33In another,
10:34the Enterprise-Temps...
10:34He loved him.
10:38He loved him.
10:38He loved him.
10:40Have a beautiful day now.
10:41Maybe.
10:42His wife told us.
12:15I'll find us a place to dock.
12:16Hey, I'm sorry.
12:24I need to get into an EPS panel right there.
12:27Oh, how about it?
12:29You're working on comms?
12:30Yeah, I'm hoping Adira and Paul were trying to boost the signal by pulling power from the EPS grid.
12:35And I followed this conduit for three decks, including the quarters of a new ensign, who's very nice, but keeps a Cardassian vole as a pet.
12:44Anyhow.
12:45Well, I have some work to do in my office.
12:48Um, I'll leave you to it.
12:51Hey, is everything okay?
12:54Yeah, I'm fine.
12:56Okay.
12:56You're always there for everyone else, so if you ever need to talk about anything.
13:02Yeah, well, Tilly, what's your status?
13:05Working as fast as I can.
13:07I'm fine.
13:08I'll find you later.
13:09I'm fine.
13:10Well, Rainer's asking for updates, so, uh, as soon as you have any good news, let us know. We'll be standing by.
13:17Okay, will do.
13:19What about the, uh, graviton pulse idea?
13:21Yeah, I'm just rechecking my calculations.
13:24You've done that twice already.
13:26I just want to be sure.
13:29Adira, the time bug wasn't your fault.
13:34Yeah, well, I brought it on board, didn't I?
13:37Fix the problem yet?
13:39Um, Lieutenant Tilly is attempting to boost the comms signal, but interference from the aperture's rapid shuttering.
13:46I don't need to know how the cake is boiled, Commander.
13:48Can everyone boil their cakes?
13:50Don't knock it till you try it.
13:51Other options, one sentence or less.
13:54Well, um, we need to find a way to hold the aperture open.
13:59Then do it.
14:03Not that simple, I get it. Go on. More words.
14:06We could use the shield generator to disrupt the antimatter reactions, but the power drain could result in shorting out of basic systems like comms, which would defeat the purpose.
14:15A graviton pulse would also do it, but there is a 43.7% chance of implosion, meaning that the aperture would shut forever with the captain and bookers still inside.
14:26So we're just, we're trying to improve those odds, so.
14:32Sir, if I could quote something you told me recently, you're not in this alone.
14:38It sounded better when you said it.
14:46Find another way to get comms back and fast.
14:50If they haven't run into Maul and Locke already, they will soon enough, and who knows what kind of mess that'll be.
14:54Follow-up pads are useless in here, too.
15:15We can use the ship's sensors to track quantum signatures from our universe.
15:21Help us find the clue and Maul and Locke if they're here.
15:23Remember the access codes from the Terran counterpart?
15:26Already there.
15:28Not working.
15:29She must have been dead by the time the Enterprise got here.
15:32Have to find another way in.
15:34Well, I once hacked an Andorian transport ship using a subroutine dodge through backup logs.
15:42I thought it sounded rather impressive myself.
15:45Sorry.
15:48Oh, that was my brother's station.
15:50From the USS Enterprise.
15:51Ever meet the Terran version?
15:57No.
15:59I'm sure he was just as ruthless as the rest of it.
16:06Your hack worked.
16:07We're in.
16:09Yeah, I'm pretty sure you meant to say,
16:10Book, your idea was amazing.
16:12You are a hero.
16:14Among men.
16:21Huh.
16:22That's weird.
16:23What?
16:24The intermix chamber was ejected from the warp drive.
16:26Shuttles and escape pods gone, too.
16:28Captain's logs were raised.
16:30Crew abandoned ship.
16:31Evacuation is the last resort in Terran culture.
16:36Enterprise took some damage, but it wasn't terminal.
16:40Definitely some sort of story there.
16:43Indeed.
16:43So, what's the verdict?
16:45Were you able to find them?
16:46Two signatures on the bridge.
16:47That's us.
16:47Three in sickbay.
16:49That's small lock and the clue.
16:52They found it.
16:55Let's get it.
16:59Any idea where they found the clue in the Thussmans?
17:02I saw a trace signature in the transport room.
17:05It had to have been there.
17:06Scientists would have put it there for a reason.
17:12Let's check it out.
17:19Bedding.
17:20Plankets.
17:21Kids' clothes.
17:23Not what I would expect to see on a warship.
17:28Why would someone want us to see this?
17:38Light of hope shines through even the darkest of nights.
17:46It's the crew's story.
17:47Terran High Chancellor was killed for trying to make reforms.
17:53And this crew escaped.
17:57They mutinied.
17:59Brought refugees with them who were trying to flee their universe for hours.
18:04It says...
18:05A Kelpian slave turned rebel leader helps them.
18:13Saru.
18:14Action Saru in any universe.
18:18Well, that's got to be why the escape pods and shuttles are gone.
18:21They fled the Enterprise once it got stuck here.
18:23I hope they made it.
18:26I hope they made it.
18:27Yeah.
18:30Me too.
18:33Let's keep moving.
18:34Sickbay's over here.
18:39Sickbay's over here.
18:46Ready?
18:47Ready?
18:47Ready?
18:47Power doubles.
19:05Clever.
19:06We won't know where to shoot.
19:07Must have hacked the room's holo emitter.
19:09But if we can find it...
19:12Got it.
19:13Up there.
19:14I can't hit it from this angle.
19:17Two out of the ten blast will be real.
19:19I've had worse odds.
19:35Got it.
19:36Come on.
19:38Come on.
19:39Come on.
19:43Could have just said hello.
19:45You could have just left us the hell alone.
19:47Lower your phasers.
19:48Let's talk.
19:49You were the ones who came in firing.
19:51Just as a holo emitter.
19:52Or your aim's shit.
19:54Your ship is in pieces.
19:56Surrender to us now.
19:57Let us get you out of here safely.
20:01Cover me.
20:02Hey.
20:05Easy.
20:07Jay.
20:09Easy.
20:10Look, we're here to help.
20:12Mo.
20:15I knew your father.
20:18And that's supposed to make me trust you.
20:20No.
20:22But I know the kind of man he was.
20:23Cleveland Booker was garbage.
20:27And we are not gonna rot in a Federation break.
20:30You'll get a fair trial.
20:33You do not have another play here.
20:36Wrong.
20:38You may have a shuttle.
20:40We have the clue.
20:41The way I see it, we can blast away at each other.
20:48Probably all end up dead.
20:51Or, you give us right out of here.
20:53Let us go.
20:54And we let you replicate that.
20:57Tempting, but that's not the clue.
21:00Remember, Larry?
21:02Decoy stanzas.
21:04The real clue hidden somewhere else.
21:07They all look different.
21:09Go ahead.
21:12Use that tricorder there.
21:14Calibrate it to scan for quantum signatures from our universe.
21:17It's the real deal.
21:21We can get you out of here.
21:23All of us.
21:25Whatever trouble you're in.
21:26You don't know us.
21:27I know you wouldn't risk each other's lives over the last number of weeks.
21:28Shut up, I said shut the hell up!
21:30That means you must be in real trouble.
21:32Hey, the Federation can help you.
21:33Can they erase an Erica?
21:34Ma.
21:35No?
21:36So stop pretending like you could do a damn thing.
21:37Ma!
21:38What?
21:39Erica?
21:41You're Breen?
21:50And Erica is a Breen blood bounty.
21:56They're after you, aren't they?
21:59That's why you're here.
22:02You hope you can use whatever's at the end of that clue trail to get them to release it.
22:06Ma.
22:08What did she do?
22:09What did she do?
22:21I know I'm new around here, but how much longer are you bucket heads gonna make me wait?
22:26Got other deliveries to do.
22:27Am I supposed to be trembling at this point?
22:30You must be the one who wanted to talk to me.
22:31Hi.
22:32I'm Ma.
22:33I like latinum and long walks on the beach.
22:36What do you need?
22:37Be silent, Corinne.
22:38We've had reports.
22:39Your dilithium's been cut with impurities.
22:40I need to inspect.
22:41Not my deliveries, Green Eye.
22:42Not my deliveries, Green Eye.
22:43Inspection is not a request.
22:45No, no, no, no.
22:46No, no, no, no, no.
22:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:48Okay.
22:49No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:50Okay.
22:51I'm Ma.
22:52I'm Ma.
22:53I like latinum and long walks on the beach.
22:54What do you need?
22:55Be silent, Corinne.
22:56We've had reports your dilithium's been cut with impurities.
22:59I need to inspect.
23:00Not my deliveries, Green Eye.
23:02Inspection is not a request.
23:06No.
23:07No.
23:08No.
23:09No.
23:10No.
23:11No.
23:12No.
23:13No.
23:14I've met bullions with meaner left hooks.
23:24Hello?
23:25You know, I've learned a thing or two about green insignia.
23:29This one means royalty.
23:31Rumor has it the Primarch's nephew
23:34doesn't fit the mold around here
23:36has been demoted to shuttle bay duty.
23:39That's you, isn't it?
23:41Fuck.
23:44Must be so humiliating.
23:48What if I said,
23:50I can help you get payback?
23:53They are cutting the dialithium.
23:59Look, I'm good at what I do.
24:02Great, actually.
24:04Having a partner on the inside
24:06would make it all go a lot smoother.
24:09I should kill you for the suggestion.
24:12But you didn't.
24:15Which means you're intrigued.
24:23I know what it's like to be on the outside.
24:27Alone.
24:29Makes you hungry.
24:31Also.
24:34Makes you smart.
24:43Like I said.
24:45Smart.
24:48Are you sure you want to make a deal?
24:51You don't know anything about me?
24:52Not much.
24:57Not yet, anyway.
25:04Whatever we did
25:06is none of your damn business.
25:08Love is a powerful thing.
25:11Do not let it take you down the wrong road.
25:13You both still have choices.
25:15You always have choices.
25:19You're right.
25:21We do.
25:26Damn it!
25:27More!
25:28System failure.
25:29Sick bay locked down.
25:30Engaged.
25:32Control panel.
25:33It's right.
25:34I can't get back in.
25:35There should be security controls on the bridge.
25:36More!
25:38I can use an extra pair of hands.
25:41We both want the same thing, don't we?
25:43To get them out.
25:46One wrong move.
25:48And I will dust you.
25:50I will dust you.
25:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
25:55We both want the same thing, don't we?
26:00To get them out.
26:06One wrong move and I will dust you.
26:25That lithium's clean, you're free to go.
26:45Sure you don't want to check my ship again?
26:50Make sure that I didn't smuggle any troubles on board.
26:54I wish I could.
26:56My uncle is coming down for inspection and I need to shine my boots.
27:00Is that a euphemism?
27:01No, he just really likes our boots to be shining.
27:04Oh, sounds like an asshole.
27:06You have no idea.
27:08Oh, Green Eyed, you made me a promise.
27:13I'll show you next week.
27:16Yes, that is what you said last week.
27:20Don't argue with me.
27:22We pay what we pay.
27:24If you don't like it, we'll find a career who does.
27:28Another time, I promise.
27:30Oh my God, show me what you look like.
27:34What do you think of this?
27:36You made the other face.
27:42What?
27:44It's just...
27:46It's not...
27:48No.
27:52Okay?
27:54But...
27:55It's...
27:56It's a part of you.
27:58Right?
28:00Both faces are...
28:06You've seen parts of me that I hate.
28:12I'm outlock.
28:26As soon as I figure out a way to bring down the containment field, this juice is over.
28:38is over. I really do want to help you, okay? Says the man who took my father's name. Look, I know
28:45he left you and your mother. I also know that staying away was the hardest choice he ever had
28:53to make, but he did it to protect you, you know, from a dangerous life. He didn't want to blow him
28:57back. And you bought that. Let me guess. Daddy issues. He promised to get us off Caller 5, take us to some safe haven colony in the Gamma Quadrant. Described in perfect detail. Absolute paradise. Every night, I'd go to sleep thinking about it. One day, he just stopped coming
29:27out. My mom had to get a job in the Reubenium Minds. Do you have any idea what that's like?
29:38She died when I was 14, and I was left completely alone.
29:46I don't think he knew any of that.
29:50Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't.
29:54He's dead now.
29:57And, look, it's the only thing that matters to me.
30:12Exhausting, huh? Staring each other down?
30:16What can I say?
30:18I don't trust you.
30:20Do you even know what you're after?
30:22What do all these clues lead to?
30:25Power beyond all comprehension.
30:28That's what the diary said.
30:30I don't care.
30:32As long as it can end an eriga.
30:35If the brain got a hold of that power, it would be catastrophic.
30:39You have to know that.
30:40We'll be long gone by then.
30:42But not unless they take it from you and kill you anyway.
30:44Do you really trust them more than you trust us?
30:53Block the Federation is all about second chances.
30:57Luke and I are both living proof of that.
31:03If we did come in,
31:05if we served our time,
31:07if,
31:08would we serve it together?
31:10I could advocate for that.
31:14Because I would rather die
31:16than be separated from her.
31:24I get that.
31:26I do.
31:32I can't access the containment field.
31:36You said you wanted to help.
31:38Help!
31:38I'm trying.
31:40The security system's firewall.
31:42Antique piece of shit.
31:51I loved her, you know.
31:53Michael.
31:54Captain, put down your phasers?
31:56Yeah, I really see the appeal.
31:58You were couriers.
32:00Like you unlock.
32:03I understand it.
32:06Depends on someone like that,
32:07knowing they're all you've got.
32:08You know,
32:13she was my first real friend
32:14after Cleveland died.
32:16Unless you count Grudge.
32:17But she bites when I don't feed her,
32:19so...
32:19it's a bit one-sided.
32:25He talked about you a lot,
32:26Cleveland.
32:28And the look in his eyes when he did.
32:31For what it's worth,
32:32he loved you.
32:32But I'm sorry for what you went through
32:38because of him.
32:42I hated my father, too.
32:44For a long time, so...
32:46It's not working.
32:51I need to get back to Locke.
32:52You better go before the morning shit gets you.
33:10What?
33:19I got a new contract.
33:21In Emerald Chain territory.
33:23Okay.
33:24So...
33:25I'm going.
33:33For how long?
33:36I don't know.
33:38And why there?
33:40You're Osiris, a butcher.
33:40Well,
33:43Imperium space isn't much safer
33:44with all your faction wars.
33:47Plus, the contracts are better.
33:49It's about latinum.
33:51We can change our deal.
33:53I still won't be making enough.
33:57You never even told me
33:58what's so damn important.
34:00What do you need so much latinum for, anyway?
34:05There's a colony
34:06in the Gamma Quadrant.
34:08A place where I could just
34:11wake up every day
34:12and be.
34:14No more courier runs.
34:16No more watching my back.
34:18Peace.
34:19Freedom.
34:20You know?
34:24No.
34:26I don't.
34:30Why do you stay here?
34:32You hate it.
34:36Where would I go?
34:38Come with me.
34:47Just you and me.
34:57Who's that?
34:59My uncle.
35:01Breen Primark
35:02of a sixth flight.
35:04I'm done waiting.
35:23What are you doing?
35:24Creating a power surge.
35:26I'll burn through the security system.
35:30Short out the containment field.
35:31Could do a lot more
35:32to a ship this old.
35:33Look, wait.
35:33Let me just check the...
35:34Shit!
35:35Look out!
35:44Oh.
35:47No, no, no, no, no!
35:48Wait.
35:49Locke, wait.
35:51Get out of my way.
35:53Impulse engines are overloaded.
36:16Nav systems are fried.
36:17We have no control over the ship.
36:24I was subtle.
36:28And that was our only way off.
36:30Warning.
36:31Impact in eight minutes.
36:33Okay.
36:48We've got eight minutes to figure a way out.
36:50We need to go get Michael in luck.
36:51You're staying here.
36:53I'm getting Locke,
36:54and we will figure something out ourselves.
36:56No.
36:59You want to hate me?
37:00Fine.
37:02I will not let anything happen to Michael.
37:05Or you.
37:07Why?
37:08Enough with the Cleveland Booker shit.
37:11Why me?
37:12Because I'm Kweijon.
37:15Everything I cared about out there is gone.
37:20And he may have been
37:21a shit dad to you.
37:24He was a great mentor to me.
37:33And like it or not,
37:35that makes you
37:37just about the only family I've got left.
37:54I could kill you right now.
37:59That's a choice.
38:02I hope you'll make a different one.
38:12Let's go.
38:12Get out of my way!
38:32Please, just stop.
38:32I know how much you love them all.
38:42This is not how you help her.
38:45Let me go.
38:47Or I will cut through you.
38:52Move!
38:53I cannot do that.
38:54I can't do that.
39:12You made a decoy.
39:15Solid bluff.
39:16I didn't think you had it in you, Starfleet.
39:24This wasn't supposed to happen.
39:31Locke!
39:32What the hell did you do to him?
39:34It was an accident.
39:35We gotta get him to Discovery.
39:40Get away from us!
39:42Warning, five minutes to impact.
39:44We're on a collision course for the aperture.
39:46What?
39:47The shuttle's gone.
39:49So the Enterprise is our only way out?
39:51Yeah.
39:54We gotta find a way.
39:55Come on.
39:58Damn it.
39:59Come here.
39:59You're gonna be okay.
40:04Leave her alone!
40:07Stop!
40:08Let me go!
40:08All you got?
40:09Speak her language.
40:21She deserves to understand what you're saying.
40:26You carry the demonic code of the Yawdwar.
40:29They who rule.
40:30Yet while we campaign for the throne of the Imperium,
40:34you consort with lesser beings.
40:35How do you do so for giving that face?
40:39An insult to your heritage.
40:46This...
40:48is preen.
40:51Then why can we change?
40:54Both faces are part of us.
40:57If we deny half our nature, we deny it all.
41:01We have a whole past the need for that form.
41:03Holding it makes you unfocused, inflexible, and weak.
41:11There is only one path to redemption.
41:15It's fun while it lasts at Greenheye.
41:16It was fun while it lasted, Greenhide.
41:46I know.
42:06Go.
42:07Now.
42:08Wait.
42:09Why didn't you kill him?
42:10He raised me.
42:12Oh.
42:13Please.
42:14Go.
42:15Go to Chain Territory.
42:16Find that colony.
42:17It doesn't matter what happens to me.
42:19As long as I know, then you're safe.
42:21I asked you to come with me.
42:22I can't.
42:23Not now.
42:24Unerriga's impossible to lift.
42:27They will never stop hunting me.
42:30Us.
42:31They'll be hunting us.
42:34Nothing's impossible, look.
42:41We can do this.
42:43You and me here.
42:45Come on, babe.
42:47Let's be happy together.
42:51Please.
42:54Okay.
42:57I love you more than anything.
43:01You know that, right?
43:03No, no, no, no.
43:04Don't.
43:05Okay?
43:06I'll figure this out.
43:07We've made it through worse before.
43:09Emma, we're trapped.
43:11Nothing's impossible for us.
43:14Okay?
43:15I've got this.
43:17I promise.
43:19There should be enough power left to activate a tractor beam.
43:33Consulate the day for con C.
43:35Nice.
43:36Warning.
43:37Four minutes to impact.
43:40It's on.
43:41Here goes nothing.
43:42Lieutenant Christopher, anything on comms yet?
43:44Negative, sir.
43:45I'm still trying.
43:46Commander, there's something happening at the aperture.
43:48Lieutenant Gallo, enhance it.
43:50Aye, Commander.
43:53Seems to be a tractor beam.
43:56From the shuttle?
43:57No, something much larger.
43:59The beam is oscillating.
44:00Repeating pattern, three, four, one, four.
44:07Commander Stamets, Ensign Tall, get in here.
44:10Lieutenant Tilly, you too.
44:12Almost got it, sir.
44:13A way to hold the aperture open?
44:15Tilly rerouted portions of the EPS grid.
44:17Change of plans.
44:18I need you to hold it open and make it bigger.
44:20Big enough for a starship.
44:21When you say big enough for a starship, do you mean that Discovery is going in?
44:25No.
44:26Our captain's coming out.
44:28How could you possibly know that they're coming out?
44:41Ballad of Cruel.
44:43It doesn't matter.
44:44Can you do it?
44:45That would require a massive amount of power.
44:47More power than the entire ship could safely produce.
44:49Well, there's gotta be a way.
44:51Come on.
44:52Look, I need ideas.
44:53Come on.
44:56A cask of Keller and Citrus mash for whoever lands this.
44:59Go.
45:00Could we invert the deflector array and force the aperture open?
45:03Rerouting energy distribution systems would take too long.
45:05What if we discharge the spore reserve?
45:07Hit them with a tachy impulse.
45:09We should maintain our reserves in case an emergency jump is required.
45:12Well, can't we just strap in and pull power from gravitational systems?
45:15If they don't reset, eventually we'll just end up loading around.
45:18Wait a minute.
45:19If we change out the photon torpedo payloads and replace them with anti-matter, then...
45:24It would add fuel to the anti-matter reactions already happening in the aperture,
45:29and that could generate the energy we need.
45:31Yes, uh, uh, if we hit it precisely with a sequential hexagonal pattern,
45:36it should stay open for approximately 60 seconds.
45:40But once it collapses, it's gone for good.
45:41Why hexagonal?
45:43It doesn't matter.
45:44It'll work.
45:49Citrus mash all around, then.
45:51Rhys, coordinate engineering and munitions.
45:54Replace the payloads.
45:55Fire on my mark.
45:56Asher, get us into position.
45:58Gallo, lower our shields so we can catch that tractor beam.
46:01We're only gonna get one shot at this.
46:03I trust you'll all make it count.
46:05Red alert.
46:06All right, Commander.
46:11Tractor beam's holding steady.
46:13No sign of a response yet.
46:1460 seconds to impact.
46:19Look, in case we don't make it, I need to say something.
46:21Come on.
46:22Don't go there.
46:23No.
46:24You were one of the surprises.
46:26In the time cycles.
46:27That's all.
46:33It was nice.
46:36And we were happy.
46:37All right, let's get that thing open.
46:47Fire!
46:48The vessel's tractor beam has just made contact with us.
47:03All right, let's pull them out.
47:04We're locked on.
47:05We're whatever power isn't keeping us breathing or held down to that tractor beam.
47:10Hit it?
47:11Uh...
47:12Feels weird.
47:13Let's just fly.
47:14Is that the ISS Air Force?
47:17Gallo, how much time do we have to get them out?
47:19Is that the ISS Air Force?
47:22Gallow, how much time do we have to get them out?
47:3620 seconds.
47:37Let's go.
48:07Captain.
48:14Burnham to Discovery.
48:16Thanks for the assist.
48:18Anytime.
48:20Great to hear your voice again.
48:22Likewise, Commander.
48:26Michael.
48:27Sir, the ISS Enterprise is preparing to fire.
48:31Captain?
48:32We see it.
48:33System shows it's a Terran warp pod.
48:35Two life signs.
48:36And sickbay equipment.
48:37It's got to be a life support system.
48:38Smaller luck.
48:39Right.
48:41I can't stop them from launching.
48:43Me either.
48:44Commander, can you grab them?
48:45I'm on it.
48:47Damn it.
48:47Too late.
48:48But they left a warp signature.
48:50We'll track it.
48:50Putting out an alert.
48:52We'll find them.
48:53Ballad of Krull, section 4, verse 7.
49:08Krull calls to his war brother for rescue with a repeating drumbeat.
49:11three taps and 4-1-4.
49:20I was impressed.
49:22It was a long shot.
49:23No question.
49:25Great work today.
49:27If you had to panned out, you'd be riding your own coffin in the sun right now.
49:31Oh, but I'm not.
49:33I'm right here.
49:34Telling me to take the win?
49:37Mm-hmm.
49:39I can do that.
49:41How did it feel being back in the chair?
49:44The captain's chair is for the captain.
49:46I'm ordering commanders of Ushikun and Detmer to head a team to fly the Enterprise back to
49:54FedHQ Storage.
49:55All in assignment.
49:57They deserve it.
49:59They do.
50:03Get some rest, commander.
50:04It's a bit of a day, huh?
50:26I feel like I've been through a Gorfogander's digestive tract.
50:29Mm-hmm.
50:30And I guess I'm not the only one.
50:32Thanks for noticing, Doc.
50:35Are you here to take me up on my offer?
50:36Because I'm all ears.
50:39Well, it's a bit, um...
50:44These experiences I've had.
50:48I mean, I died.
50:52I came back to life.
50:55And almost in all, I was there.
50:58But I wasn't.
51:00It's weird.
51:01And that's as close to a scientific term as I can get for it.
51:07And now we're on this quest to find the thing that created us.
51:13I mean, it's all so big.
51:18And impossible to grasp.
51:20And...
51:20Part of me kind of loves that.
51:26I think, as terrifying as it is.
51:30Paul.
51:31Oh, hates the unknown.
51:32Oh, hates the unknown.
51:34And we've always been able to find answers together.
51:38I don't know how to talk to him about this.
51:42Change is hard.
51:44But you can also be free.
51:45I know.
51:48It's just...
51:48I'm not sure what all of this will look like.
51:52Well, it sounds like he's not the only one who hates the unknown.
51:57Just talk to somebody about that.
52:03Not really that far apart.
52:06The intellectual and the spiritual.
52:10Both reach for understanding.
52:12Both bring us to new places.
52:15I didn't say spiritual.
52:16Yeah.
52:19You kind of did.
52:35Come.
52:38Anything on ball and look yet?
52:39Starfleet has every ship in the sector on high alert.
52:44But we have this.
52:46Paul is prepping to do a full chemical analysis
52:52of this vial.
52:56And then...
52:58we'll have our next stop.
53:04Ever wonder why there's always a lesson with these clues?
53:07Like with the Adrenok.
53:09Do you value life forms different than your own?
53:11And with the Necropolis planet.
53:14Importance of cultural context.
53:16See, the scientist who left on the Enterprise must have known the history of that ship.
53:22Ha.
53:22So I had Zora look up the crew names on the manifest.
53:32Guess what?
53:34Most of them ended up in Federation databases.
53:36So they did make it.
53:39Mm-hmm.
53:40Started new lives in our universe.
53:43Yeah.
53:45Dr. Cho even ended up joining Starfleet.
53:48She became a branch admiral.
53:51After that, her records just...
53:53vanished.
53:55Oh, well...
53:56Janone did say he erased all evidence of that group.
53:58Mm-hmm.
53:59Well, here, Leo.
54:03They had hope.
54:06And they found freedom.
54:09Despite impossible odds.
54:12Maybe that's why Dr. Cho went back and left the clue on that ship.
54:15Maybe that's our lesson here.
54:17Maybe we can shape our own futures, too.
54:25What I said earlier about how we used to be happy...
54:51Uh, it's fine.
54:57We were, weren't we?
55:01Captain, we are ready for the vial.
55:06On our way.
55:07So, what do you think happens when we finally put this thing together?
55:13I don't know.
55:18But I can't wait to find out.
55:21Let me wait to see you.
55:40Bye.
55:49Bye.
