00:00Previously on Star Trek Discovery.
00:20These experiences I've had.
00:21And now we're on this quest.
00:23Find the thing that created us.
00:26Paul.
00:26Hates the unknown.
00:27And we've always been able to find answers together.
00:30I don't know how to talk to him about this.
00:32It's a time bug.
00:33They're designed to paralyze an enemy's ship by randomly cycling them through time.
00:37The whole point is to keep us stuck.
00:38Adira, the time bug wasn't your fault.
00:41I brought it on board, didn't I?
00:43Two signatures on the bridge.
00:44That's you and me.
00:45Three from sickbay.
00:46That's Maul and Locke and the clue.
00:48They found it.
00:49This wasn't supposed to happen.
01:03Get away from us!
01:05Captain?
01:05The system shows it's a Terran warp pod.
01:07Two life signs.
01:08Sickbay equipment.
01:09It's got to be a life support system.
01:10It's Maul and Locke.
01:11We'll find them.
01:12They left a warp signature.
01:14We'll track it.
01:15Paul is prepping to do a full chemical analysis of this vial.
01:19And then we'll have our next stop.
01:32Do you think the scientists designed these clues to mock you when you can't figure them out?
01:37I think this will work.
01:39It better.
01:41The clue's been stalling us for two days.
01:44Any other test we can run.
01:45It'll tell us something different than the hundred other tests we've already run?
01:49I don't think so.
01:51The vial's composition's generic and the water inside remains pure, inert, distilled, and wet.
02:00The vial's damaged.
02:01Maybe there's a piece missing.
02:02Modified spectral analysis reveals the fluid in the sial to be...
02:07Still just distilled water.
02:09Damn.
02:13The other clues had words, had symbols.
02:16They had more.
02:18You know, I've reviewed scans from ISS Enterprise multiple times.
02:22There was never anything else there.
02:25I even tried fabricating the last two pieces of the map to see what happened and what it could mean, and...
02:31Let me guess.
02:31Nothing.
02:33There's no shortcuts here.
02:35We have to solve this clue to find the next, and then the next, and we need all five.
02:38And somehow you are going to tell us where the pretendator's power is.
02:43So keep at it.
02:45If chemistry isn't the solution, try history.
02:48Anthropology.
02:49Try planets where distilled water had cultural or symbolic significance 800 years ago.
02:53And include worlds that had severe droughts and would have needed rainwater alternatives.
02:57On it.
03:14I still find it disorienting myself sometimes.
03:17But you get used to it.
03:20Here I was, thinking you were born in here.
03:23It could be a black alert within the hour.
03:25What are our coordinates?
03:27Excuse me?
03:28I assume I'm here because you have a lead on Maul and Locke.
03:31I know.
03:32Not yet.
03:33The USS Locker is handling the search.
03:36This is Discovery's mission.
03:38Finding the progenitor's technology is Discovery's mission.
03:41And you seem to have your hands full at the moment.
03:44This particular clue?
03:46We are a bit stalled.
03:50The scientists who hid the technology's location each made their own piece of the clue trail in secret.
03:57Stands to reason they would have employed their respective fields of expertise in the process.
04:02Don't you think?
04:03And then, knowing the identity of the vile's creator might prove useful.
04:08You found the names of the scientists.
04:13I can be resourceful.
04:19I know it's eccentric of me, but I do love a field of paper.
04:23And this isn't replicated either.
04:25This is a genuine 21st century legal path.
04:31Where did you even find that?
04:33Like I said, I'm resourceful.
04:35And you have a mission to see to.
04:38What do you want me to help you, my heart?
04:44I want to cook our mofongo for Paul, but I don't remember the recipe.
04:50I don't have time for mofongo.
04:52I have patients to see this night.
04:55But, Grandma, you promised me.
04:57The mofongo that you and I do is impossible.
05:01Do you know that every time I wait until you wake up to sleep in the evening?
05:06To throw it out and then use the food replicator.
05:11And you always tell me,
05:13Oh, Grandma, you have a tone.
05:20Zora, pause the program.
05:21Send a message to Dr. Pollard.
05:31We might be on to something with this grief alleviation therapeutic.
05:36Brainwave patterning is incredible.
05:40And this hollow of my grandmother is...
05:42...exactly as I remember her.
05:51I'm sending over my data in a few minutes.
05:57Zora, start the program again.
05:58What do you want to help you, my heart?
06:02I want to ask you...
06:07Algo me pasó entre él.
06:12Mi cuerpo estaba habitado por alguien más y...
06:15Desde ese entonces...
06:16...siento algo que...
06:20...no sé cómo explicarlo.
06:23¿Lo estás sintiendo en este momento?
06:30¿Me puedes ayudar a entender lo que me pasa?
06:35No.
06:37The program checked the database.
06:40She should be able to answer that.
06:44We spoke often about her spiritual feelings and practices.
06:46Tal vez eso sea cierto, nene, pero...
06:49...yo te eduqué para ser un doctor, un...
06:52...nombre de ciencia.
06:55¿Cómo podemos pensar en el alma cuando no hemos revisado el cuerpo?
07:04Pues sÃ, claro.
07:05Of course.
07:06...
07:10Okay, we haven't yet found clues from Dr. Derricks or Dr. Creel for the vial.
07:15I'm betting on Creel.
07:17His specialty was designing weather modification towers to generate rain.
07:20So we're going to Denobula?
07:22Maybe not.
07:24Zora, can you confirm Denobulan weather towers seed clouds with silver iodide, right?
07:31Yes, Commander. That is typical of their function, both at present and during Dr. Creel's time.
07:37All right, so then the water would be filled with contaminants, but it's ultra distilled.
07:43Well, Creel's vial also mentioned he did work in weather technology for other worlds.
07:48If a planet were arid enough, then water would have to be extracted from the air at the molecular level,
07:54which would mean no contaminants whatsoever.
07:57Zora, how many M-class planets were on Denobulan trade routes when this vial was created?
08:02Fifteen.
08:03And how many of them were dry enough that water would need to be harvested in that particular way?
08:08Only one, Captain.
08:10Helemno.
08:12Whew.
08:13The planet Helemno.
08:18Long-range scans show a functioning weather tower of Denobulan design.
08:23It manufactures rain, and it emits a low-grade force field that shields the planet's only habitable region from dust storms.
08:31We've been able to confirm that Dr. Creel designed the tower, so we believe the next clue is inside of it.
08:37Why would it make a weather tower look like a mountain?
08:40That's a good question.
08:41Ensign's Hall.
08:42Any life signs down there?
08:44Uh, yes.
08:46Uh, humanoid.
08:48Um, definitely pre-warp and pre-industrial.
08:52Uh, there's no functioning electrical grid.
08:55And geological surveys show that the storms on the planet have gotten increasingly more severe over time, so maybe Dr. Creel installed the tower as a humanitarian mission and hit it so not to violate the Prime Directive?
09:11Makes sense.
09:12It's good to see you on the bridge, Ensign.
09:14They requested more time up here. I felt they were ready.
09:17Didn't necessarily mean today.
09:19No time like the present.
09:21Okay, so the Prime Directive will be a concern for us, too.
09:25We'll need to get in and out without revealing our technological capabilities.
09:28Can scans help us locate the clue inside of that thing?
09:31No, there is an unusual energy field surrounding the tower.
09:34Won't let me beam you in, either.
09:36Any idea why?
09:37Uh, not yet, but we are working on it.
09:39Okay.
09:40Well, while they get to the bottom of that, I will head to the surface with Lieutenant Tilly.
09:43We'll have to get inside of that tower before Maul and Locke make their next move.
09:47Commander Asha, get us as close to the planet as you can without the ship being seen.
09:51Hi, Captain.
09:52You have the con, Raynor.
09:53Hi, Captain.
09:54Let's get to it.
10:13We'll see you.
10:14We'll see you next time.
10:15Bye.
10:21Bye.
10:23Bye.
10:24Bye.
10:25Bye.
10:27Bye.
10:31Bye.
10:32Bye.
10:35Bye.
10:37Bye.
12:43I feel like I'm back in Dr. Tafrazi's Zingo Linguistics Seminar on Vulcan.
12:47Wow, you can take the Zeno out of the Anthropologist, but you can't take the Anthropologist now.
12:54Huh, no, I lost it.
12:55Uh, we could really use you at the Starfleet Academy.
12:59Well, don't tempt me.
13:01How is it going over there, by the way?
13:04Captain, we've loaded subcutaneous comms into the transport system.
13:07Ensign Tall's also been playing with Starfleet's latest retinal tricorder mod.
13:11Should come in handy if you need to be discreet.
13:12Thank you, Commander.
13:14We're good to go.
13:15Take us down.
13:16Let's activate retinal tricorders.
13:30I think Dr. Creel could have picked a more gigantic place to hide the clue.
13:34I guess that's why the alumni call it the High Summit.
13:39So no one can be well protected, though, since they believe they can commune with their gods there.
13:49So, do you want to talk about it?
13:51Hmm?
13:51The Academy?
13:52Oh, yeah.
13:54I just got a message from my student today, Cadet Ross.
13:57She actually served us drinks at the Millennium Celebration.
14:00Yeah, Ernest, big smile.
14:01Yes.
14:01She's thinking about leaving the Academy to take a position on a cargo vessel, and she wants to know if I think she should do it.
14:08Oh.
14:09So what are you going to say?
14:11I don't know.
14:12Stay, don't go, I don't know.
14:13She wants to leave at all.
14:15She's not the first.
14:17You're not giving the cadets what they need.
14:18I don't know what the problem is.
14:21The whistle speak.
14:23The Universal Translator's got it.
14:25We've come here from afar.
14:28Let my voice call you home.
14:31We travel from the dust.
14:35Come rest.
14:37You must.
14:39We journey from the storms.
14:43In the summit, you'll be warm.
14:45Sounds like they're going where we're going.
14:46Hey.
14:52There you are.
14:54Got a minute?
14:55Yeah.
14:55Heading to engineering.
14:56How can I help?
14:57I wondered if you could put me in touch with the ship's counselor on the locker room.
15:00When they find Monalock, I want them to have a full background.
15:03I know they can use me as a resource for anything.
15:05I'm sure they've been briefed.
15:06It's not the same.
15:07Look, you need to accept that there's nothing for you to do right now.
15:10I can't just sell my hands to you.
15:12So find something to distract you.
15:14What's occupied your brain in the past?
15:16Focus on that.
15:18Recharge yourself so that you're ready when you are needed.
15:21You never get tired of having all the answers.
15:24I'll check in with you later.
15:29Paul, I need your help with something.
15:32Can I pull you away?
15:34I'm looking to do a full neuro scan on myself, and I could use an assistant.
15:38A neuro scan?
15:40Is everything all right?
15:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:42Everything's fine.
15:43We don't have a lot of data on the neurological after effects of Shantara, and this is a chance
15:48to gather some.
15:49Are you having after effects?
15:51No, no.
15:54Maybe.
15:54Hugh, are you sure you're okay?
15:56Yeah, of course.
15:58We need this data, and, uh, well, when was the last time you and I got to work together?
16:02It might be nice.
16:04Nothing as romantic as a neuro scan.
16:08So is that a yes?
16:10At your service.
16:11Great.
16:12I will, uh, prep everything, and we can start in the morning.
16:27Hello.
16:29Hello.
16:30Greetings, comp peers.
16:34We heard your call.
16:36Sounds like you were headed to the high summit.
16:39Yes.
16:39We've been following the beacon voice since the moonrise.
16:43We got lost.
16:44May we join you?
16:45Of course.
16:47We are nearly there.
16:48Apologies.
16:59I was clearing dust from an orchard and lost my way in the dry lands.
17:04The dry lands.
17:10Were you out there very long?
17:13I breathed dust for an entire night before the sun rose and my comp peers could rescue me.
17:19Sounds frightening.
17:19I suppose it is why they encourage elders not to take turns at the edge of the storms.
17:26But if I did not clear the dust, another would need to take my place.
17:32Where are you coming from?
17:36Uh, we came to worship at the high summit.
17:38Ah.
17:39You wish to pray for Wayne.
17:42We have been without it for too long.
17:44Do any of the comp peers go inside the summit to pray?
17:48Only the chosen devout may enter the temple.
17:51Surely you know that.
17:52Of course.
17:54But being from the east, the distance is far.
17:58Bless you, dear child.
18:00You've never seen the high summit before.
18:02No, no, we never have.
18:05But for years we have long to visit.
18:08The day is here.
18:10Come peers.
18:14You've arrived.
18:16I'm Rava.
18:17This is my voice that's been beckoning you home.
18:19Please come with me.
18:20I have water and food ahead.
18:25She's having trouble breathing.
18:27The healing grove.
18:29Quickly.
18:36Her medicine.
18:37I saw her inhaling it when we were walking.
18:39Maybe it's in her pack.
18:45Her lungs are full of dust.
18:47A sonic percussion wave would easily dislodge this.
18:50She doesn't have to die from this.
18:51We can't break the prompt erected.
18:53No, I know, I know.
18:53I know.
18:56You're not finding her medicine.
18:57Okay, I'm going to get her on her side.
19:03There they are, father.
19:05Do not stop.
19:06Come here.
19:06You're keeping her alive.
19:07Give these out.
19:10One to each.
19:13Quickly.
19:14Form a tight circle around her.
19:20Stay strong, my good Kumpir.
19:22Such خquinho, my good 왜 she didn't follow her.
19:30Here you are.
19:39Come here.
19:41Come here.
19:43Come here.
19:48Come here.
19:49Come here.
19:49Come here.
19:49Come here.
19:50Come here.
19:51Come here.
19:52You must forgive me.
20:13I did not have time to warn you of the intensity of the sound cure.
20:17It's amazing that you found a cure at all.
20:20Really impressive.
20:22Hey, you're awake.
20:26Rava here has been telling me about the High Summit.
20:30I, too, was born far away.
20:32My father brought me here after my mother died and he became priest of the summit.
20:35I don't regain her strength, Rava.
20:36But they were on the front lines.
20:37When my turn comes, I'll clear that dust twice as fast as anyone else.
20:40Rava, the most important thing is to work in harmony with the rest of your comp years.
20:45Of course, you're right, father.
20:48But it's clear you're very strong.
20:50We're eager to enter the High Summit.
20:52To give thanks to the gods.
20:54The gods do not require you to enter the temple to give thanks.
20:57But you could get in if you wanted to.
20:59You just have to complete the journey of the Mother Compeer.
21:02Rava, yes.
21:03The journey of the Mother Compeer?
21:04It's a race and a test of devotion because it's quite grueling.
21:08Everyone says that we're due because watching the race makes the gods happy and we've been without rain for so long.
21:13Only the one who wins is worthy of entering the temple.
21:15There, they're close to the gods and they can ask for their blessing.
21:18Let's discuss another time, Rava.
21:20Our comp years only just arrived.
21:22But we wish to show our devotion in whatever way we can.
21:24And this is perfect.
21:25If you make the request, we could do it tomorrow morning.
21:28Isn't that right, father?
21:29One just has to make the request.
21:31That's how it works.
21:31Then I make the request.
21:36Nothing's more important to us than entering that summit.
22:01Oh, good morning, Compeers.
22:17Are there any messages you'd like me to bring to the gods when I see them?
22:21You're running there?
22:23You've inspired me as you've inspired the others.
22:26The difficulty of the journey is legendary.
22:28Most don't even finish.
22:30Rava.
22:31Do you have a word?
22:33I know, father.
22:34I'm getting ready.
22:36You were too young to take the journey.
22:39I'm stronger than you think I am.
22:43You're wearing that today?
22:47I wish for Mother to watch over me.
22:52Rava.
22:53I promised her that...
22:54You would keep me a child forever?
22:56No, that I would protect you.
22:58I've grown, father.
23:00I'm devoted.
23:01You must see that.
23:02Let me come here.
23:03Tradition demands we begin the preparations.
23:06Jewish.
23:07You know, I have a student, um, back east.
23:20She reminds me a lot of you.
23:22She just wants to get out there and do as fast as she can.
23:25It can be hard to even...
23:26and just as a teacher to step back.
23:30I can only imagine what it would be like as a parent.
23:35My father's a great man.
23:37I want to show him that I can be great, too.
23:41Come here.
23:42May I have a moment?
23:43We're alone, Discovery.
23:48We don't have much time.
23:49We'll talk fast, then.
23:50Hanson tall chased down Hunch and found something interesting.
23:53Uh, I did a historical regression of Lemno's weather patterns,
23:58and the data indicated that there might have been other weather towers in the past.
24:02We sent down a team of dots into the dust storm.
24:04Check it out.
24:05We found four more towers.
24:06Over time, the others failed.
24:10Uh, their energy distribution matrices fell out of alignment,
24:13and that's the same thing that's happening to the High Summit.
24:16That's what's causing the energy field stopping us from beaming you inside for the clue.
24:19Okay.
24:20What's the solve?
24:21All of the towers have an auxiliary control panel hidden nearby.
24:24If you can find the one near the High Summit,
24:26it should be easy enough to reset any of the components that have failed over time.
24:30Adira, were there settlements around any of the other weather towers?
24:33Uh, all of them, in fact.
24:34Uh, they were destroyed when the towers failed.
24:36So if we don't fix this one, everyone here will die.
24:39Thank you, Discovery.
24:42One mission just became two.
24:45Well, we've checked for biological, chemical, and genetic anomalies,
24:50and, um, turns out you have a perfectly typical, healthy, and rather handsome human brain.
24:59So, no lasting neurological effects of Jontaro whatsoever?
25:04None.
25:06There's something you're not saying.
25:17It's just I was hoping these scans would give me an answer.
25:21You know, a physiological cause for what I'm feeling, and then I'd understand.
25:28Then I could talk about it.
25:29I don't understand.
25:30Are you feeling sick, or...?
25:32No, uh, the opposite.
25:33No, uh...
25:34The opposite.
25:35Ever since Trill, I've felt more connected, more, um, attuned to something greater than myself.
25:51Greater than all of us.
25:52But if there's no scientific reason for it, then...
25:57So it's a...
25:59Spiritual thing?
26:01Okay, what matters most is that you're okay.
26:06The scans would have picked up anything with health implications, so...
26:10So, in lieu of that, I say, why don't you just enjoy it?
26:15Really?
26:17The human brain, with its billions of neurons, each with thousands of connection points, is
26:24one of the most complex things in the known universe.
26:27So...
26:28Enjoy it.
26:32Great.
26:46Race is about to begin.
26:47Are you not happy to come here?
26:49Are you not enjoying today?
26:52I was thinking of the last time there was a journey.
26:56I ran.
26:56As did my friend, Verali.
26:59She was so fast.
27:02Of course she was.
27:04It was long ago.
27:06I am thinking about Verali and what we might look like if we could be wrinkled all day all
27:12just together.
27:14You would look beautiful.
27:17You know, you need not go to the High Summit to be with the gods.
27:23They are with us when we do good for one another.
27:25But we love when we save each other as you saved me.
27:30We don't need to run to see them.
27:32I know.
27:34It's something that I've dreamed of my whole life.
27:37I understand, and I shall pray for them.
27:42Come on.
27:42I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:44I can't.
27:44I am a man.
27:44I can't.
27:45I can't.
27:45Everything all right?
27:52I think so.
27:53My good and blessed compiers,
27:56it is our great fortune to bear witness
27:58to the journey of the mother compere today.
28:02Lajin tells us that in ancient times
28:04all of Halemna was fertile and gentle,
28:07but even in such a land of plenty,
28:09the Halemnites warred against each other
28:11and lost the favor of the gods.
28:13To punish us, they brought the dust storms.
28:16We would have ended our days in thirst and dust
28:20if the great mother compere
28:21hadn't shown the gods our true selves.
28:25She ventured out into the storms
28:26and traveled far to find water for her children.
28:29As she journeyed back with it,
28:31her lungs filled with dust.
28:33Her thirst was terrible,
28:35and yet she didn't drink a single drop.
28:37She reached her children
28:38and gave them the life-giving water.
28:40She saved them and breathed her last.
28:43The gods were so moved by her sacrifice,
28:47they brought back the reins.
28:49Today, as you journey around the high summit,
28:52bearing a terrible thirst,
28:54you too will endure this test.
28:56May you remind the gods of the mother compere
28:58of her devotion, our devotion,
29:01and earn their merciful reign.
29:03A courageous attempt compares.
29:09You are now disqualified.
29:12Begin!
29:13Try not to fall behind.
29:15We have to get that clue.
29:16We have to get that clue.
29:37I am ready to go.
29:38eu.
29:39I just need a minute.
29:50They've all got to get water at some point, right?
30:00We have endurance.
30:01We have Starfleet training.
30:03You keep telling yourself that.
30:05Let's go.
30:06We're going to fall behind.
30:07Body, emotion.
30:09Holy moly, emotion.
30:18Body, emotion.
30:19It's days, emotion.
30:21What? What?
30:22Body.
30:23Body, it wrecked.
30:26Look at the moss on the trees.
30:28Most of it's blue, but some of it's yellow.
30:30That's a genetic mutation.
30:32If we're controlled better, we're 800 years old.
30:34It would leak radiation, right?
30:37And if it is leaking radiation, it would be causing mutations.
30:42If I'm right, then this moss would lead to a control panel.
30:45And if you're wrong?
30:48Then one of us still needs to win this race and get that clue.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Really?
30:54Go chase your moss.
30:56I'm the queen of endurance.
30:58Body, emotion.
30:59Remains in motion.
31:01I'm out.
31:05I'm out.
31:20Ah.
31:21No, don't give up now, come here, it's just the two of us left. I want some male competition.
31:44You're a little shit, you know that?
31:45I can't hear you, I'm too far ahead.
31:47I think I'm not gonna beat you.
31:49Okay, get over here.
31:51Come here.
32:17Discovery, I found the tower control panel.
32:29Scanning it now.
32:32This tech requires periodic maintenance. Without that, it was bound to fail eventually.
32:41So, how do I fix it?
32:45You'll need to rebuild the motherboard without shutting it down by accident.
32:50No pressure. Tell me what to do.
32:53Uh, do you see a small red chip on the far left hand side?
32:58Yes, I see a lot of them.
33:00Sorry, in the top left corner. We'll start by rerouting that to the override system.
33:07Oh, we're almost there.
33:10Stop!
33:11You're the end of the Mother Compere's journey.
33:16God's tempted her to drink.
33:18So, our final two racers must now complete the journey while carrying temptation.
33:23it in place is near the center.
33:24You know what I'm craving for.
33:25I have to leave in your Oooh.
33:26I kill the other
33:49Spilling your water is a disqualification, Rabba.
34:09Please, child.
34:11Come, slake your thirst.
34:13A racer cannot complete the journey with an empty bowl.
34:16It was a noble effort, Rabba.
34:19Come, Rabba.
34:29Come, Rabba.
34:35You're going to give me a little competition.
34:38It's over.
34:46Come.
34:47Come.
34:47Let's go meet the gods together.
34:57Come on.
35:13Okay, that wasn't it.
35:15I'm going to try another isolate of your chip.
35:18Sir, maybe we should get someone with more experience to help support the captain.
35:22You're the one who wanted to be on the bridge.
35:24I know, um, but...
35:26But nothing. I wouldn't have agreed if I thought you couldn't handle it.
35:28You've been second-guessing yourself since that time bug came on board.
35:31That's not on you. Understood?
35:36Got it. Okay, Anson, what's next?
35:39Last step, right?
35:41Bring it home.
35:46Okay. Uh, Captain, I need you to bypass the auxiliary power circuit.
35:51Bypass. Yank it out, Captain.
35:57Come on, come on.
36:02We got lights.
36:05Okay, I will have you beaming into the tower in no time.
36:08Nice work, Anson.
36:11Tilly, we solved the interference issue. Where are you now?
36:14I'm in the temple.
36:15You won the race?
36:16Rava and I tied. We're both here.
36:19The problem is, I don't see the clue anywhere.
36:22Well, we just got the control panel back online,
36:23so we'll be able to transfer a team over in just a few minutes.
36:26It is time.
36:28Hang on, O'Vaz is speaking.
36:29Don't be sad, Father.
36:41We'll speak to the gods. We'll bring the rain.
36:43We are so grateful to you both.
36:48Your sacrifice will bless Halemno for many seasons to come.
36:53Sacrifice?
36:53Take this, Father.
36:55I won't need it to remember Mother anymore.
36:57Tilly, get out of there. Now.
37:01Uh, no, uh, O'Vaz?
37:03Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
37:07O'Vaz!
37:08Discovery, can you beam her out?
37:09Can't get a lock, Captain.
37:10O'Vaz!
37:11Discovery status report.
37:39Have you been able to get a lock on Lieutenant Tilly?
37:41Nothing's working, Captain.
37:42Something's scrambling my signal.
37:44I think I know why.
37:45These walls are solid titanium.
37:47Which is a transport transport lock.
37:49Damn it!
37:49It's not one thing.
37:50It's another with this place.
37:51Okay, it looks like you're in the vacuum chamber.
37:54Chemicals come up that center column
37:55and mix with air and whatnot from the room above
37:57and get shot into the atmosphere to make it rain.
37:59And seeing that it's a vacuum chamber,
38:01I'm guessing that in the process,
38:03it sucks all the air out of there.
38:04Makes sense the room's made of titanium.
38:06If it weren't, it'd crumple.
38:07Oh, good.
38:08At least we won't get smushed.
38:09Who are you speaking to?
38:12Oh, uh, um, just pray to the gods.
38:15That's, that's good.
38:16They'll be pleased.
38:16We need more time and, uh...
38:37The gods are coming.
38:39They'll take our breath and replace it with their own.
38:43You look frightened, Kumpir.
38:45Are you frightened?
38:45No, I'm not frightened.
38:48I'm sad.
38:52You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
38:54I'm grateful.
38:56I'm going to see the gods.
38:58Come.
39:00The Serenity Wall is here.
39:02We'll pray together.
39:03You won't be frightened anymore.
39:05Tilly, I'm coming to get you.
39:07Discovery, if you cannot beam her out,
39:08beam me in as close to that chamber as possible.
39:11Okay, there's a control room right next to it.
39:13Sir, I'm picking up a life sign in there.
39:15Okay, that has to be Obaz.
39:17We have to wait for him to leave.
39:19No, you beam me in now.
39:20You'll be revealing yourself to a pre-warp civilization.
39:22I'm aware.
39:24We're going to have to answer for the Prime Directive violation.
39:26And we will.
39:27We are not letting them die for no reason.
39:29If the Hellenites can't maintain this technology,
39:31they're going to get wiped out sooner or later.
39:32Either way, we have to do this.
39:34Aye, Captain.
39:35Stand by.
39:37These symbols here, what do they mean?
39:40They're numbers to help us recall the five Serenity prayers.
39:43If we say them, we'll find peace before we pass.
39:48It's foretold.
39:50I don't see any numbers.
39:52I thought you were a teacher.
39:56Yeah.
39:57They don't teach ancient Hellenese in the East.
40:08Juan.
40:08Two.
40:23Three.
40:25We're in the third summit.
40:29Four.
40:34Five.
40:35I've seen this symbol before.
40:37Represent each of the summits.
40:38There once were.
40:39The gods destroyed all the others.
40:42But left only ours.
40:46That's why we must sacrifice.
40:49To show them that we are worthy of their gift.
41:04I'm sorry, Kumpir.
41:06Oh.
41:08It's okay to be scared.
41:10I don't want to die.
41:12I only took the journey to make my father proud, but now...
41:16Yeah, it's okay.
41:19It's okay.
41:21Come here.
41:22Maybe the gods will figure out a way to spare us.
41:28Maybe the gods will figure out a way to spare us.
41:30I failed you.
41:31I failed you.
41:32I failed you.
41:33My heart's Kumpir.
41:34I wanted to forbid our child from taking the journey.
41:37I wanted to forbid our child from taking the journey.
41:38How could I?
41:38How could I be selfish when all our people suffer for each other?
41:42You?
41:43How did you?
41:44Where did you come from?
41:45I need you to open this door.
41:46You're not really here.
41:47You're not really here.
41:48Vision.
41:49I am here.
41:49Listen to me.
41:50You have to open this door.
41:51You're not really here.
41:52You're just...
41:53You are...
41:54I'm here.
41:55You're just...
41:56I'm going to see.
41:57My friend is in there.
41:58She doesn't want to die.
41:59And she doesn't need to die.
42:00You're just...
42:01Oh, Bobs, oh, Bobs, we are standing inside of a machine.
42:05This is a piece of technology.
42:08Technology.
42:09And she doesn't need to die.
42:11Robert doesn't need to die.
42:12Oh, Boz, oh, Boz, we are standing inside of a machine.
42:16This is a piece of technology.
42:19Technology?
42:21It was placed here hundreds of years ago by an alien race.
42:23The sacrifices don't bring them away.
42:26Okay? Technology does.
42:30No. No, you're not too much yours, do you?
42:33But you have a duty.
42:35Please, deliver me from...
42:38Deliver me.
42:40Tilly, are you hearing all this?
42:43I am.
42:45But we're running out of air.
42:47I'm gonna get you out of there, okay?
42:49I need you to talk to Rava.
42:50See if they can help me reach Ovoz.
42:52Rava.
42:54Do you remember your mother?
42:57I do.
42:58What do you remember about her?
43:00There was a song to help me sleep.
43:07I sang it together.
43:10We were once together.
43:13Will you teach it to me?
43:17I'll sing it to you while you fall asleep.
43:21I don't remember the words.
43:26Only tune.
43:28Yeah, the tune's enough.
43:31Bye.
43:34Bye.
43:35Bye.
43:37Bye.
43:39How do you know?
44:09I can hear them from the other room.
44:13My technology lets me do that too.
44:16I don't understand.
44:18Bravo remembers their mother singing that song so many years ago.
44:22They are dying of us.
44:24They don't want to die.
44:27Are you a god?
44:30No, I am not.
44:32I am a person from really far away.
44:35Almost as far away as those who put the technology here.
44:37And I want to help you.
44:38I am here to help you save your child.
44:42And my friend from dying a needless death.
44:47I am not a god.
44:50But I don't know, maybe I was sent to you by one.
44:53Hear me when I tell you.
44:55The rains will come whether or not Rava dies.
44:58Trust me.
44:59Please let them live.
45:01Please let them live.
45:01Tilly!
45:25Tilly!
45:26They're not breathing.
45:29Please, Rava.
45:30They're not breathing!
45:32Here.
45:34My team can save them.
45:35My team can save Rava.
45:37They can save them.
45:38Come on.
45:38Let them work.
45:39This...
45:40This...
45:56This is Elevno.
45:59This is what it looks like from our ship.
46:01It's...
46:05It's...
46:06More beautiful than I could have imagined.
46:08It's...
46:09More beautiful than I could have imagined.
46:13You said that an alien race gave us the High Summit to save us from the dust storms.
46:39Why?
46:42The Denobulans.
46:44They value one another greatly, just as you do here.
46:47They come from a world, uh, much like your own, with massive storms.
46:51And they built weather towers to keep them at bay.
46:55I suppose in their travels, I felt a connection to you.
47:00I wanted to help.
47:00You should know that the tower, the...
47:07The High Summit is failing.
47:11We fixed it for now.
47:13But it will stop working eventually if it isn't maintained.
47:17We can show you how.
47:21But does all this mean...
47:25Are there no gods?
47:29Are there...
47:30What is there?
47:33There is still what you believe.
47:36Nothing we have shown you means gods don't exist.
47:40Or that the journey of the Mother come here did not...
47:42It's just that now you know that there is also...
47:45Us.
47:46What do I say to my people?
47:52The sacrifices unite us.
47:55They help us see a common purpose.
47:59I fear how my people will react if we take this away so suddenly.
48:03In the past, attempts to stop the sacrifices have been met with violence.
48:08And upheaval.
48:09You are wise to consider that.
48:11But there are those among you who seem ready...
48:14To move beyond the sacrifices.
48:17The woman you healed.
48:18Anora.
48:20She finds order in...
48:22Your people's commitment to one another.
48:25She told me the sacrifices aren't necessary to bring one closer to the gods.
48:29Maybe others are ready to understand that too.
48:32Beliefs can evolve.
48:35Denying that can cause almost as much chaos as the worst one.
48:39You know how much paperwork I'd have to fill up?
49:05For losing a perfectly good Starfleet officer.
49:07In addition to the paperwork, you're already going to have to fill out for breaking the Prime Directive.
49:12Oh gosh.
49:14I'm about to make you even happier that you saved me.
49:18Anyway, does this look familiar?
49:19Perhaps you recognize this from a certain vial containing a drop of pure distilled water.
49:25Yes.
49:25The scratch is on the side.
49:27What are these?
49:28They're numbers in ancient Hallamnese.
49:30One for each of the five towers.
49:32We are in the third town.
49:34The vial had the same marks as the clueless in Tower 5.
49:39Father, are you with the gods as well?
49:47No, my child.
49:49We defied them?
49:51No.
49:53The rains won't come.
49:54Listen.
49:55Perhaps devotion means being able to hear when the gods tell us something new.
50:01I'm very proud of you, Rava.
50:07You're so full of light, courage, and song.
50:12Just like your mother.
50:13I'm so full of light.
50:13I'm so full of light, courage, and song.
50:14Just like your mother.
50:15The rains.
50:38They've come.
50:40You're so full of light.
51:10Oh, cheeky, aren't we?
51:27Watch it now.
51:32Zora said you were here.
51:35And I see you found a distraction.
51:38The next best thing.
51:38Why not the holodeck simulator?
51:41I can always tell it's not a real ship.
51:44Broke feet?
51:45I thought you'd be hungry.
51:46My grandmother's mofongo con pollo al ajillo.
51:50Replicator fresh.
51:59Welcome.
52:02Smells amazing.
52:02So you asked me earlier, I get tired of having all the answers.
52:16I meant it as a joke.
52:17I know.
52:18It's just, I don't is the thing.
52:24What's going on?
52:25I'm having a spiritual awakening.
52:29Or maybe I'm just seeing a truth I've always known, but ever since John Tara, nothing else explains it.
52:44Sounds kind of wonderful.
52:45I told Paul.
52:50I don't think he really understood.
52:55I don't know that he ever will.
52:58So?
52:59Well, he's my partner.
53:02It's an odd quirk, really.
53:05It's human tendency to consider something less meaningful.
53:08It was just for yourself.
53:14I remember Michael dealing with it.
53:17Even though deep down, that feeling of being alone was the oldest and closest friend she ever had.
53:26But still, you know, that's what made me love her.
53:31You miss her.
53:32I see her every day.
53:37But you miss what you had.
53:41You think you can get it back?
53:47One answer at a time, Doc.
53:49Courtesy of Tower No. 5.
54:08It had a metal card attached with some kind of Betazoid text inscription.
54:13Sammons is analyzing it so we can see where to go next.
54:15What do you think Dr. Creel was trying to tell us, hiding the clue there?
54:20Well, he couldn't have known that leaving behind a weather tower would lead the alumni to sacrificing one another.
54:25It's a massive responsibility.
54:28Technology.
54:29Maybe that's the real message.
54:32When we find the Regenitor's creation,
54:37we need to be so careful.
54:43Excuse me, Captain.
54:45Go ahead, Lieutenant Christopher.
54:47We just got a message from Fed HQ.
54:48The USS Locker just found Marlon Lock.
54:51Admiral Vance requests that we jump to their location immediately.
54:54Okay, lock in coordinates.
54:57Let's not make them wait.
54:58Hmm.
55:15From on the end, here.
55:25The USS Locker.
55:31The USS We bundle the USS Locker.
55:32Score.
55:32What do you think?
55:33Let's run.
55:34The USS Locker.
55:34The USS.
55:36The USS Locker
55:41The USS Locker.
55:41The USS Locker.
