00:00Previously on Star Trek Discovery.
00:24You're smart, slippery as hell, don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.
00:27Meet Maul and Locke.
00:30What did they steal?
00:31Something vital to the security of the Federation.
00:33You're Maul and Locke.
00:34What's your next move?
00:35Quimau.
00:36The dealer there loves the old stuff.
00:37Captain Burnham and Captain Rainer set a course for Quimau.
00:40My mission or hers?
00:41Why don't you try working together?
00:42An explosion up there would cause an avalanche!
00:44We can't risk killing all those people down there!
00:47An avalanche is not gonna happen!
00:49Discovery, we have to stop that avalanche!
00:52We did it!
00:55Great work, everyone!
00:56I do believe it would be only logical to codify our commitment in more official capacity.
01:03Are you asking me to bury you?
01:05Some things are hard to move past, for both of us.
01:07Yeah, maybe we haven't wanted to say that out loud.
01:11Are we saying it now?
01:12I think we are.
01:13We've been calling them the progenitors.
01:16They created life, as we know it.
01:18Somehow, Dr. Valak found their technology, whatever it was they used to design life itself.
01:24Now, Maul and Locke know where it is, or the diary is the first piece of the puzzle.
01:30There's a system in the outer sector of the Beta Quadrant, Valene.
01:33One of its worlds, Lyric, has three moons, two of which move in perfect sync.
01:38It's on Lyric.
01:42Captain's personal log, Stardate 866274.3.
01:56For millennia, philosophers and scientists have wrestled with the same big questions.
02:01What is our purpose?
02:03Why are we here?
02:05What does it all mean?
02:08I always thought, I knew.
02:10The mission.
02:12That's my purpose.
02:13That's why I'm here.
02:15That was always enough.
02:17But lately, it's not.
02:20And I don't know why.
02:22We're on a search for one of the greatest powers ever known.
02:26The very thing that created us.
02:29I can't help but wonder, once we find it, once I understand it, is that where I'll
02:35find the answers?
02:37Is that how things make sense again?
02:41Come.
02:44Ah.
02:47I have found myself reviewing that same hologram in my quarters as well.
02:52Not much else to do while we wait to get out of dry, Dawn.
02:58That avalanche really did a number on us.
03:01Ah, yes.
03:02The sands of Kumau continue to reveal many heretofore unknown radiative properties.
03:07Meanwhile, Mal and Luck have one hell of a head start.
03:09Only for the time being.
03:11Diligence of our new friend notwithstanding.
03:13I am happy to report that repairs are nearly finished.
03:16We should be ready to jump within the hour.
03:17Good.
03:18Any more delays?
03:19And I would have started to wonder if someone was stalling his final day on board.
03:23Just as well I haven't found anyone to replace you yet.
03:27I am pleased that the schedule has afforded me one last mission to say goodbye.
03:32Let's get ready for Lyric.
03:36Uh, there is another matter at first.
03:38Uh, an official matter from the President's office.
03:41Did you agree with Captain Raynor's decision to fire, knowing, as he did, that the consequences
03:47could be catastrophic?
03:49I'm sorry, Madam President, but I'm not sure I see how the testimony of a matter of opinion
03:54is relevant.
03:55The Starfleet Corps of Engineers is presently mired in a very messy clean-up.
04:00That has caused no end of political complications, which is precisely what we do not need right
04:06now.
04:07You were there.
04:08Your testimony is relevant.
04:09I would like to respectfully remind the board that Captain Raynor's actions did not cause
04:13the avalanche.
04:14No, but he seems to have inspired Mal and Luck.
04:18Who did?
04:19My mission was to stop them, ma'am.
04:21That's what I was doing.
04:24Did you agree?
04:27Captain Burnham, no one appreciates the, uh, unwritten Starfleet code of conduct more
04:34than I do.
04:35That you're being asked a direct question by the President, to which we would all appreciate
04:39a direct answer.
04:44You had no problem voicing your opinion in the field, Captain.
04:48All right.
04:51The answer is no.
04:53I did not agree.
04:54I thought it posed an unjustifiable risk.
04:56And as I told her then, we had a red directive.
04:59Our priority was a stolen item that could compromise the safety of the entire Federation.
05:03Your mission is not in question here, Captain.
05:06Your actions are.
05:07My strategy worked.
05:09I blocked their escape.
05:11And yes, sometimes enemies do inspire one another.
05:16But what I did on Kumau was no different than what I've been doing for the last 30 years.
05:20We are in a different time now, Captain.
05:23Things have changed.
05:24We're not at war.
05:26The Breen are infighting over a new leader.
05:28The Orions are regrouping.
05:30War is always a possibility.
05:31And you're living in a candy-colored hollow fantasy if you're thinking otherwise.
05:35You are not helping yourself.
05:37Oh, come on.
05:40This is politics, pure and simple.
05:43I already know what she thinks.
05:45I have leveled undue criticism against the Federation during a delicate time of diplomacy and rebuilding.
05:51I could be out there right now finishing this mission instead of sitting on our asses.
05:58That's enough, Rainer.
05:59Wasting precious time while a technology of unbelievable power is being found, used, or sold to the highest bidder.
06:07I said that's enough.
06:15I think now would be a good time for a break.
06:29You disagree with me about this, too, that we're wasting time.
06:39I think the world is bigger than our own corner of it.
06:45Captain Vernon, a word?
06:50A word.
07:00Shit.
07:03Thank you for your candor in that.
07:05It's true that it wasn't fair for me to judge him.
07:07No, he's never quite been able to get out of his own way.
07:10Loves Starfleet, loves the Federation.
07:12We've been together in more firefights than I can count, but...
07:14He has things to learn, don't we all?
07:18He's a gifted officer.
07:21Thank you for saying that.
07:23Pardon the interruption, Captain.
07:24All ship repairs are nearly complete.
07:26Discovery will be ready to leave shortly.
07:28I'll be right there.
07:29Dr. Kovic will monitor your progress from here.
07:32I do have to ask the addition to your crew manifest.
07:36I'll be fully briefed and squared away before departure.
07:39Good.
07:40It's an extra set of eyes.
07:42Someone who's focused on Marlon Locke,
07:45knows their tactics from his own time as a courier,
07:47could be helpful for the mission.
07:49I couldn't agree more.
07:56So this isn't gonna be an issue?
07:59No, sir.
08:00Not at all.
08:02Good.
08:04But he's already proven himself valuable.
08:07And I believe he'll continue to be.
08:19To see this as the start of any other mission, my queen.
08:27Who are you?
08:28Right.
08:29I see grudge is just as playful as ever.
08:44It's a constant change.
08:46Hard fair to settle, you know?
08:47Hard fair to settle, you know?
08:48Mm.
08:51So you've made a fan out of Admiral Vance.
08:53Won't be fair to drink with him any time soon.
08:55But at least he hasn't thrown me back in the clink.
08:58No, he's impressed with your work with the refugees
09:00and with your help on the Q-MAL mission.
09:02If you help us get the Predator's tech,
09:03I'm sure the higher-ups would be great for him.
09:07I just go where they tell me.
09:09So now I'm here.
09:13What do you need?
09:15All right.
09:16Well, according to the diary,
09:18Dr. Velik hid the Predator's power,
09:20or a clue as to where it's hidden, on Lyric.
09:24And that's where we're headed now.
09:25Paul is also analyzing something else that he found.
09:28The schematic on this page may be significant.
09:32So while he's working on that,
09:33I will have you review Mal and Locke's interactions
09:36with the dealer, Fred.
09:37See if they said anything or did anything that can help us.
09:40Shouldn't say long.
09:41Them what?
09:42He's working up a psych profile.
09:44We may run into our career friends down on the planet
09:46but they haven't already gotten there.
09:47Either way, we need to get that clue before they do.
09:51And it's Saru's last mission, by the way.
09:53For a while, that is.
09:54I know.
09:55I heard.
09:56Heh.
09:57Action Saru.
09:58Came to her desk.
10:00Never thought I'd see her.
10:01Action Saru?
10:03Yeah.
10:03Come on.
10:04You know.
10:05Action Saru.
10:07It's...
10:08Good job.
10:08Yeah.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Sorry.
10:20She doesn't like it.
10:21Cats.
10:21I already knew she wouldn't.
10:24Got it for you.
10:28This is Saru.
10:28Black alert.
10:29Here we go.
10:32Work...
12:36Why did a Romulan scientist choose an ancient Promellian necropolis as a hiding place?
12:41I have no idea, sir.
12:42The last recorded exploration was over a century before Dr. Velga was even born.
12:47Any sign of Locke and Maul?
12:49No, none.
12:49But we don't know the full extent of their cloaking capabilities yet.
12:52So they could be down there?
12:53Down there, up here.
12:54Either way, we will keep our eyes peeled.
12:56Which is actually kind of disgusting if you think about it.
12:59But I'm here as your science specialist, so they're peeled.
13:03So glad that you were back with us for this.
13:05Please thank the cadets for letting us borrow you.
13:07Uh, Lieutenant, I noticed that our transport coordinates have us landing quite a distance from our target location.
13:14Yeah, so unfortunately the entire center area seems to be surrounded by a weirdly strong electromagnetic field.
13:20See?
13:20Something you might see from a great technological power?
13:24We will find out soon enough.
13:26The field won't allow us to transport you in, but we'll get you as close as we can.
13:29And you'll have to walk from there.
13:31Have security on standby.
13:33No one goes down unless they need to be there.
13:35Remind them that this is a sacred space and we should tread lightly.
13:39And keep those eyes peeled.
13:40Hi, Captain.
13:45Last dance.
13:47I shall follow your lead.
13:50It's oddly serene for a species that was constantly at war.
14:18Indeed.
14:18I don't believe I've ever heard such quiet.
14:27Wow.
14:32Okay.
14:33Still no life signs?
14:35Well, I have compensated for the cloaking system all unlock and use against us previously and...
14:39Hmm.
14:41Registering none in the vicinity.
14:42Here.
14:46This large pyramid.
14:48That's where the shadow would fall.
14:51Power of creation.
14:53Here we come.
14:53Come on.
14:53Come on.
14:53Come on.
15:05Hey.
15:07Look.
15:07I heard you were on board.
15:09Welcome back.
15:13How are you doing?
15:14That is what you were doing.
15:20I want to know how are you doing.
15:25Just trying to make sense of it all.
15:28Figure out what's next.
15:29You know?
15:30Mm-hmm.
15:31So, what have we got on mall unlock so far?
15:35Well, let's just say I know more about the spirits my abuela used to pray to than I do about these two.
15:39Hmm.
15:40They use hybridized tech from a variety of different species.
15:43They don't shy away from physical confrontation, though they're not violent just for the sake of it.
15:48Mall is human.
15:49Lock is a mystery.
15:50Hmm.
15:51That's about it.
15:52I don't even know where they're from, or if those are even their real names.
15:56Dr. Colmer, I have the footage of mall unlock you asked for.
16:01Oh.
16:02From when they got away.
16:10What is it?
16:11They've got two starships on their tail.
16:13One has them on a leash, and they pull this stunt that they're going for style points.
16:17Okay.
16:18Why?
16:20Because they're free.
16:22Having fun together.
16:28In love.
16:31Means a lot to be together, I would imagine.
16:35We're here for them, Doc.
16:37Not me.
16:38And you see, that's not just fun.
16:41That's cliff's edge kind of stuff.
16:43Okay, so they're thrill seekers.
16:45That's helpful.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Let's say give them a cliff.
16:49See if they're willing to jump.
16:52Did you know you have a nickname?
17:01Action Saru?
17:02Ah, yes.
17:04Huh.
17:05You've heard it before.
17:06Yeah.
17:06I find it quite humorous.
17:09You didn't tell me he came up with that?
17:11I mean, it's not that he needed to.
17:14It's just that we were together for a long time.
17:17I mean, not long by some standards, but long for me.
17:22Are you speaking of Mr. Booker?
17:23Yeah.
17:24Didn't he give you that nickname?
17:25No, it was Commander Reno.
17:27Shortly after we arrived in this future, she heard about my encounter with Zara.
17:30And apparently my ferocity, the use of my quills, struck a rather strong chord with her.
17:37Right.
17:37Right.
17:38I'm really happy for you, Saru.
17:44You know, I remember the day you came aboard Discovery.
17:48A mutineer, a prisoner, who seemed exactly the wrong choice.
17:55And yet?
17:57You make the most of the opportunity.
18:00I remain deeply impressed and inspired by all that you have accomplished.
18:07Oh, Saru, you have always seen something in me.
18:10Even when others didn't, even when I didn't.
18:16And I look at you now, who you've become.
18:21Probably the bravest soul I've ever known.
18:26Thank you, Michael.
18:29How the hell am I going to find another you?
18:33You do not need another me.
18:35You need a new number one.
18:39Right.
18:39Well, Tilly wants to go back to the Academy after this.
18:43I've got candidates on Discovery and across Starfleet.
18:45I...
18:46If I may offer a piece of advice.
18:48Sure.
18:51You are a force, Michael.
18:54I believe you would be aided by one who is as well.
18:58Someone like Mr. Booker, now that I think of it.
19:00You're not suggesting I make book, my number one.
19:01I simply mean to say that he stands his ground, even in difficult moments.
19:07If you were to...
19:08Saru.
19:09Bodies wouldn't be unburied here.
19:21What do you think?
19:22Grave robbers?
19:23I would venture to say they have been here for quite some time.
19:27Not courtesy of Roman Rock.
19:30Which begs the question, what killed them?
19:32If only the stones could speak.
19:42Let's keep our eyes open.
19:45I hate to miss your wedding because I'm dead.
19:47That would be a grave disappointment.
19:49Did you just make a pun?
19:51Unintentional.
19:52Unless, of course, you found it amusing.
19:54What?
19:54Nothing.
19:55I'm very happy that you're back.
20:15Even if it is just temporary.
20:18Thanks.
20:19Me too.
20:21Although, I do really feel like I found my place there.
20:24I love teaching.
20:25Yeah, you're really good at it.
20:27Oh.
20:29My cadets haven't really been rising to the challenge in the field.
20:32They can task, but then they never seem to fully grasp the meaning of the mission itself.
20:37Tasks are concrete.
20:39Uh, meaning.
20:43Hmm.
20:46Well, hopefully some time away will give me time and space to clear my head and offer a fresh perspective to help them.
20:53Fresh perspectives are good.
20:57Hmm?
20:58Uh, Gray.
21:02I love him a lot.
21:04And this is the first time that it's just been me.
21:06And I...
21:09I don't know.
21:11I kind of like it.
21:14You don't know how to feel about that.
21:21Oh, that's odd.
21:24Odd that there's a spike in the electromagnetic field.
21:31Getting close.
21:32500 meters from the target.
21:35Still no sound of Maul in luck.
21:36Go, SÄŸimiz.
21:415.
22:00S shooter.
22:02Oh, my God.
22:03Oh, my God.
22:04Oh, my God.
22:05Captain, we've been looking at the spike in the electromagnetic field.
22:08Are you seeing anything weird down there?
22:10No. Nothing weird.
22:24It takes my life.
22:35Looks like we know what killed the grave robbers.
22:54Incredible that, although fallen and shattered centuries ago, the technology of the security system has endured.
23:00I'm sure I'll appreciate that at some point.
23:02Discovery, we're transporters out. If we run, these drones will cut us to pieces.
23:06We're recalibrating the transporter system to get around the electromagnetic field.
23:09I can't. I can't get it.
23:11Captain, can you make it back to the drop zone where we beamed you in?
23:13Not a chance. Can you take them out from orbit?
23:16No, Captain, you're too close. What if we send them a security team?
23:19I do not believe we will survive that long, Anton.
23:29That drone just detonated.
23:32Great. Lose wonder on another comes.
23:37Tilly, we're losing our foot.
23:38What? Oh my God. Who lost a foot?
23:40No, not our actual feet. The foot we're hiding under.
23:42But we'll lose our actual heads if we can't find the power source and shut this thing down.
23:45On it.
23:46We remain in your capable hands, Lieutenant.
23:48Capable and sweetie.
23:50Okay. Power sources. Let's run through them. Ion reactor.
23:53No, I thought I can see. Deuterium?
23:55No spectral traces.
23:57It's gotta be run on some sort of battery of some kind, right?
23:59What about cloaked antimatter?
24:01Excuse me, Lieutenant. You're receiving an urgent transmission from Federation Headquarters.
24:05I'm sorry. That's gonna have to wait.
24:06I hate waiting. It sounds like you could use my help.
24:08Captain Rainer.
24:09I've been monitoring secure comms.
24:11But how?
24:12Thirty years in Starfleet, that's how.
24:14Is this your first red directive?
24:15I've been on seven, sir.
24:17Point on four.
24:18Now about that help.
24:19Okay. This is a science problem, Captain?
24:21No. This is a people problem, as you might say. It always is.
24:23Do you really think the Primalians were using cloaked antimatter batteries 2,000 years ago?
24:29To beat the system they built, you've gotta think like them, not 32nd century scientists.
24:34Okay, Zora, using Federation databases, what energy source did the Primalians use on their ships?
24:39Lang cycle fusion was most common.
24:41Okay, any evidence of that on the surface when we arrived?
24:43Um...
24:45None.
24:47Killy, do we have a solve yet?
24:49Uh, working on it.
24:51Don't look at me. Keep going.
24:53Who were they? How did they think?
24:55They built a graveyard. They wanted to protect it for centuries.
24:59So they needed power.
25:01What technology did they have available to them?
25:03What could they bring there? Better yet, what was already there?
25:05Zora.
25:06Or whoever you are.
25:07How did they power their cities?
25:09What else did they use for their ships?
25:11Data shows they harnessed gravity waves, gamma ray bursts, electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves.
25:17The electromagnetic field!
25:18You're welcome.
25:19Hurry, Dilly!
25:20You're welcome.
25:21Hurry, Dilly!
25:22All the drones are gonna detonate! Go, go, go!
25:35Dilly, we're running out of body parts down here!
25:50Good news. We figured out what's powering the security system.
25:53Okay. Sounds like bad news is coming, but we'll take the good news. What do we got?
25:57The electromagnetic field. It spiked before the security system kicked in. That's what's powering it.
26:01Well, I fail to see how that is good news. We cannot shut down a planet.
26:05No, but if you can locate the statue's internal control mechanism, you could shut that down and stop the drone.
26:10The head. When the drones came out of the eyes. That's where this all started. We can demolish that.
26:15No, no. That could cause a chain reaction throughout the system, destroying what we came here to find, and killing us in the process.
26:21Well, that's a risk, but it's our only option. Discovery can't get a lock. If we do nothing, we're dead for sure.
26:26What if we disconnect the system from its power source first?
26:28We'll have to scan the internal mechanism and then have Dilly analyze how it connects to the EM field.
26:32But the drones are back, and right now we don't have that kind of time.
26:36Or we could use an electromagnetic pulse. It disrupts present-day technology. It should do the same with a thousand-year-old system.
26:43Captain.
26:50Tilly, what do you think?
26:51Oh, well, it is the safer option, Captain. If you can use the power packs from your phasers and set them to emergency discharge,
26:57and then get that as close as you can to the internal control mechanism, that could work.
27:04All right. I'll go draw their fire.
27:07Captain, my reflexes and speed are superior to any humans.
27:10I will draw fire while you place our weapons.
27:13No, let me do it.
27:14No, no. Captain, no.
27:15No, this is your last mission.
27:16We are running out of time.
27:17Tarina will be heartbroken.
27:18She would want me to perform my duties as I always have.
27:24Michael, please.
27:25Please.
27:29On your mark.
27:30Please.
27:31Oh.
27:37Oh.
27:38Charlie.
27:40Oh, no.
27:42Oh.
27:50Oh, no.
27:55Let's go.
28:25Let's go.
28:55Let's go.
28:56We did it!
29:05Captain Rain.
29:06Here.
29:07Saru!
29:12Saru, where are you?
29:17Here, Captain.
29:18Here.
29:19Here.
29:20I'm all right.
29:23I'm all right.
29:24Are you hit?
29:29I'm fine.
29:30It's nothing serious.
29:32Action Saru!
29:34Damn!
29:35Your idea worked.
29:37I believe it is now clear why Dr. Veloc would choose a Promellian necropolis as a hiding place.
29:50Yes.
29:51It is exceedingly well defended.
29:58Let's just hope what we're looking for is still here.
30:00Yes.
30:01And then Mal and Luck haven't beaten us to it.
30:03You ready?
30:04Yes.
30:05Okay.
30:06Let's go.
30:07Commander.
30:08I've completed my search on the symbol found in the Romulan scientist diary.
30:22There are 2,453,972 possible pattern matches in Federation databases.
30:30Great.
30:31So we're narrowing it down.
30:33Let me try you this way.
30:35I'm not sure about this book.
30:36Maybe if we knew more about Mal and Luck.
30:38I know all that needs for this.
30:39What's going on?
30:40He wants to access a special subspace comms channel.
30:43I had to get this piece of equipment from my pack.
30:45Which station can I use?
30:46Um...
30:48What's that for?
30:50Dark comms.
30:52Dark comms?
30:53Yeah, to reach Luck and Mall.
30:55From the way they fly, my guess is they're sui.
30:58Couriers will take the most dangerous drops because they love the action.
31:01And the latinum.
31:02Sui are the ones you call when you have a really dangerous score.
31:06They're running from Starfleet.
31:07Why would they talk to you?
31:08Because they need to unload that diary while they can.
31:10Something that hot, bound to be offered once World gets out.
31:13So I'm gonna send them a message.
31:15He thinks he can talk them down before they reach the planet.
31:17Assuming they're not here yet.
31:18And if you can't?
31:20At the very least, we'll know more about them.
31:22Listen.
31:23Wherever they are right now, the last thing we need is another dance with them.
31:26We have to try this.
31:30Okay.
31:31I need all non-essential personnel to clear engineering.
31:35Everybody out!
31:36Come on!
31:37Go!
31:38Go!
31:39Thank you!
31:40All right.
31:41Uh...
31:42You're all set.
31:43Discovery's hidden.
31:44They won't know where you're calling from.
31:45They'll do the same on their ship.
31:46See if you can trace them anyway.
31:47Stryvers.
31:48This is code for them that's out fleeting Starfleet.
31:49If you're itching to sell, I've got a boon for you.
31:50Hit back.
31:51Did it go through?
31:52Mm-hmm.
31:53Doesn't appear to be working.
31:54It will.
31:57Here we go.
32:02Oh, my God.
32:03Oh, my God.
32:04Oh, my God.
32:06Oh, my God.
32:07Oh, my God.
32:08Oh, my God.
32:10Oh, my God.
32:12Oh, my God.
32:13Oh, my God.
32:14Oh, my God.
32:15Oh, my God!
32:16Oh, my God.
32:18Oh, my God.
32:20you wanted our attention you got it you have two minutes
32:28this is it we're dead center of our target area there are no life signs or energy signatures
32:36which is fortunate okay what are we looking for perhaps we were meant to enter the structure
32:40itself no wait a minute over there damn it phaser birds they beat us
32:52but why would mullen lock do this if the regenerator's tech was here
32:59well i do not see readings that would indicate there was once anything of great power here
33:05at all never never so maybe the inscription on the stone is a clue
33:11it's the next step to the regenerator's tech so that's why mullen lock destroyed it
33:18we've got to figure out what it said uh captain less than great news does the field is powering
33:25up again how much time do we have lieutenant three four minutes maybe we'll take it there's
33:29gotta be something here oh if you lower your tricorder what is it there are hints of iridescent
33:39bacteria within the scorched areas of stone the bacteria would have settled into the grooves
33:44where the words were inscribed their iridescence must be a reaction to the radiation from the
33:50phaser glass i'll recalibrate for the uv spectrum
33:52yes you're right joe long true zorbalgon that's hello wanderer many worlds have you traveled
34:06this is a romulan revlov opaline waters call to you thoughts are shared
34:14which seems to point to beta's head but there are only four verses uh captain yes yes we uh
34:23we know uh right a revlov has five verses so where's the missing verse we have to get you out
34:29we need a few minutes no you have at most two minutes the field is coming up fast okay but the
34:33fifth verse has to be here somewhere and we can't leave without it i won't ask again who are you
34:40a former courier like yourselves well former courier sorry to disappoint diaries not for sale
34:48now that we know what it leads to you're curious enough to answer my message yeah well as she said
34:55we're after bigger shine now but i'm guessing that he knows that don't you you make a mess and get
35:02starfleet on your ass folks start talking try again what is your angle i got things that i
35:10want to and if i stop you i might just get them now i don't know if you're running from something
35:16or to something but you're running all you've got is each other and you're in way over your head
35:21you need to walk away before it's too late can't win in a race with starfleet wrong we're already ahead
35:28and it's them who should walk away diaries romulan federation's got no claim to it
35:34we saw first finders keepers and all that that diary
35:38leads to something more dangerous than you know the federation can handle it keep it safe
35:42you can't keep going like this you'll end up dead or in the brig or is that the kind of shine
35:49you're looking for you know with all the federation kafkar coming out of your mouth
35:52i'm having a hard time believing you were ever a courier
35:56who are you really no liars here what's in the beta quadrant mostly sector six name's cleveland booker
36:05you heard of me
36:10you're right about one thing
36:15all we have is each other and that's more than enough
36:21did we get to trace no they routed their comm signal through an unstable wormhole
36:29smart but completely untraceable
36:32book you all right yeah
36:37so dr bellick left this clue let's put ourselves in his shoes
36:44what do we know about 24th century romulans
36:46they were obsessed with secrecy
36:48yes and so the diary this place uh the message in a poem
36:52maybe it's not just secrecy it's security
36:55both of which went hand in hand during the time of the empire
36:58eminent romulan thinkers including scientists often traveled with armed guards
37:0560 seconds
37:06their homes also frequently had a shiku in a false front door designed to mislead enemies
37:13right and the entrance for family and friends and trusted allies was in the back so behind the stone
37:18or beneath it
37:2140 seconds
37:22can you muster up that famous kelpian strength
37:24well
37:25we shall see
37:26i see something
37:32keep going
37:33keep going
37:35keep going
37:36got it
37:37mal and la don't have this part of the clue so they're on their way to beta zed
37:42oh they will realize they're there soon enough and return here
37:45what is this
37:47now we can't let them find this
37:57i do not wish to destroy the stone but
37:5910 seconds
38:00okay well let's just cover it up and then leave it be
38:02this is a sacred space and we've disturbed it enough
38:05we'll find another way to get ahead of mal and la
38:06hurry hurry
38:08five
38:09four
38:10snap it
38:12hurry hurry hurry
38:12it's the room
38:13silly
38:14no
38:14exciting last day
38:32indeed
38:33yeah thank you both
38:34very much for your help
38:36oh you should really be thanking captain rayner i mean we would have never figured out how that
38:41security system worked without him
38:42rayner
38:43commander samets can you join us in the science lab
38:47on my way
38:48any sign of mal and la
38:49no
38:50till they have lines prepare a team of dots
38:54there's a stone monument down there desecrated by phaser fire
38:57let's have them repair it as best as they can
38:59and let's get sensors into orbit
39:01when mal and la come back i want to know about it
39:04hi captain
39:05hi captain
39:05oh mr saru i happen to know a doctor
39:10yes i'll see you shortly thank you
39:13but first captain
39:14check this out
39:18looks similar to the diary symbol you've been working on
39:24no
39:25no
39:25yeah it has the same style and visual language
39:29zora can you bring up the diary symbol
39:32yes commander
39:33zora can you create a programmable matter version of that
39:38of course captain
39:40no wonder we couldn't find a pattern match it was incomplete
39:57but what is it
40:10i think this is a map of some kind broken into five pieces
40:17and the poem tells us where to go next
40:24so we just need to find four more pieces to complete the map
40:29so once we have all five pieces then we find what created us
40:35the progenitor's actual technology
40:42seems so
40:44no biggie then
40:50uh where are we going next
40:52uh the first set of verses seem to suggest beta zed which is where maul and lock must be heading
40:59but this final verse reads a world like no other where two souls entwine joined as one
41:08consider with the other details uh opaline waters shared thoughts
41:13now i suppose
41:15drill
41:19we're going to drill
41:25all we have is each other
41:28and that's more than enough
41:30freeze
41:33zora

46:18thank you
46:28I can't help Charlie if I don't know what she's doing.
46:33Right.
46:35So, I, uh, I read you a report.
46:40Go for it today.
46:42Thank you, sir.
46:45If I may, I've been wondering about the inquiry.
46:58I asked Rainer to take an early retirement effective immediately.
47:04It can't have been easy.
47:06We have been friends for 30 years.
47:09Hopefully, still will be once the death's settled.
47:15I will say...
47:18on Kumau,
47:21he did what he thought was right for the Federation.
47:26He always has.
47:28Now, the shame is, he's a damn good captain.
47:32The world has changed.
47:35I try to talk to him, uh,
47:37have him see it, but...
47:40he won't hear me.
47:56You mind?
48:06Free galaxy.
48:07Most of it, anyway.
48:11I gotta say...
48:14she's a beautiful ship.
48:17I don't make him like that anymore.
48:20Hmm.
48:25You find the progenitors tech?
48:27No, but we found a clue to where it's hidden.
48:30Next stop somewhere on Trill.
48:32Quest continues.
48:34Thank you for your help today.
48:39I was on a break from getting a girl and gave me something to do.
48:42Well, you've done a lot over the years.
48:47Citations for Distinguished Service,
48:49the Grand Kite Order of Tactics, Awards of Valor...
48:52Trinkets.
48:54It's what you do in the chair.
48:57Every day, every mission.
49:00That's what matters.
49:03Could've told the board what they wanted to hear.
49:08I know what I stand for.
49:11I know what I believe in.
49:13I'm not gonna apologize for that.
49:15Anything else, Captain?
49:17Or can I go back to enjoying your meal in peace?
49:20So you think you deserved it?
49:23The retirement?
49:25I always tell my crew...
49:31Get out of your head.
49:34Think like you're enemies.
49:36I should've seen it coming.
49:40When Maul locked in on King Maul.
49:42Tangled and up.
49:44I should've known life.
49:46I should've known.
49:50That town had been hid.
49:54All those lives lost.
49:56Why didn't you say any of that during the inquiry?
50:05I already dug my own grave in there.
50:07It wouldn't matter.
50:09Doesn't mean you have to get in it.
50:11I want you to be my number one.
50:16You get knocked in the head with one of those statues?
50:22Hmm.
50:24You didn't have to help us today, but you did,
50:26because the mission matters to you.
50:27Starfleet and the Federation matter to you.
50:31And I see how you're looking out at the stars.
50:33We both know you're not ready to hang it up.
50:38It's an interesting offer.
50:42But Vance wouldn't let me back on a ship
50:45unless I was a garbage scout.
50:47I already spoke to Vance.
50:48He backs my choice.
50:54I got a second chance once.
51:00This is yours.
51:08We leave for Trill at 0800.
51:09The offer stands till then.
51:13Burn him.
51:17I'm not a yes man.
51:22I'm not a yes man.
51:25I'm counting on that.
51:47Let's go.
51:48But you're getting rid of...
51:50I'm not aist.
51:57You're not a jerk.
51:57I don't wanna go.
52:00This is dumb, you know?
52:01Allmed in platelets.
52:03You can't find me a trashy or cheaper store.
52:05You can't find me a book anything.
52:06You can't find me.
52:07I'm not a missing exist in the living room.
52:11You can't find me.
