00:00Previously on Star Trek Discovery.
00:24We have to get the pretendator's power and keep it safe.
00:27This clue is the most important thing in the Federation right now.
00:31We are looking for a very specific manuscript.
00:33It is a handwritten Betazoid text called Labyrinths of the Mind.
00:37Try the Eternal Gallery and Archive.
00:40It's like a bank, but it protects knowledge.
00:42It changes location about every 50 years.
00:44This is where it is now.
00:46The Badlands.
00:47Been there. It's as fun as it sounds.
00:49Scans show a Breen dreadnought heading this way at maximum warp.
00:53You receive this.
00:54Your Federation has captured two fugitives who have incurred an Erega.
00:58Be ready to hand them over upon our imminent arrival.
01:00Those without saying them can allow the Breen to become aware of the progenitor's technology.
01:04Oh, it's you, isn't it?
01:06You are the bloodline, not the Primark.
01:08He can't succeed without you.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Lucky me.
01:11Direct descendant of the Emperor.
01:14Psion of the Breen Imperium.
01:17The Federation's hiding something from you.
01:19A power so great.
01:21You won't need Locke to claim the throne.
01:24And I can get it for you if you take me with you.
01:27If you wish to avoid war, she is my price.
01:30Dr. Velik believed that since the technology could be used to create life, it might also be used to revive the dead.
01:36Bit of a stretch.
01:37Doesn't matter.
01:38What matters is that she thinks it'll bring Locke back.
01:40That's why she's doing this.
01:41We can't give her to them.
01:43There's much to be lost by keeping her.
01:47This is wrong, Michael.
01:49This isn't how her story ends.
02:19You've got to ask for what you have.
02:20You won't have to tell.
02:21What he looks like, Doctor.
02:22It can be really good.
02:23You're not sure of everything.
02:24You're sarcastic, human heart.
02:25What about swords you have?
02:26You're sarcastic, man.
02:27You're sarcastic.
02:28You're sarcastic, man.
02:29Then you were sucs of an example.
02:30Yes, you know what?
02:30We're both in your place in there.
02:32All this is already a form.
02:33He's usingaaa.
02:34What about his boot running for?
02:35Notites are stealing money.
02:36I'd giveierungs of was бы Repeat for all things.
02:37I'm just joking.
02:38I'm sure the next time I've invented to hang over.
02:39Because we have too many more peopleza.
02:41The original at the Buick of the H reminding.
02:44I'll fix this.
03:02I promise.
03:14I promise.
03:21I promise.
03:29I promise.
03:34I promise.
03:38I promise.
03:49Without the Scion, some believe that our claim to the throne has been eradicated.
03:54In fact, it has grown stronger than before.
03:58His murder will galvanize the other factions behind us.
04:02And with the power promised by his joined, we will defeat all who stand against us.
04:08For the Scion!
04:10For the Scion!
04:12For the Scion!
04:14For the Scion!
04:16For the Scion!
04:18For the Scion!
04:24Apologies, Primark.
04:27I can bring it back to you!
04:39The power we seek created life.
04:42In the words of someone who saw that power, it can also renew life.
04:48That is why we need to find it.
04:52That is why I've come.
04:56I ask to be set free, Primark.
04:59So that I may assist in the noble quest to restore the Scion.
05:15Of course.
05:16We want nothing more than to see our Scion return.
05:19Speak to my soldiers again and I will eviscerate you in front of them.
05:32I don't think your Scion would look very kindly upon that.
05:36Your value to me does not extend beyond your ability to acquire the progenitor's technology.
05:45For your sake, make sure we succeed.
05:49Badlands.
05:50Largest plasma storm in the Quadrant.
05:51Hell of a place to hide a clue.
05:52Oh, it's kind of beautiful in a twisted sort of way.
05:56Lieutenant Gabel, what are scans telling us?
06:05Sensors can't penetrate through the storm, but they have a communications beacon out here.
06:11Looks like it's made of the same alloy as the library card.
06:26Lieutenant Tilly, transmit a scan of the car to the beacon.
06:28Hi, Captain.
06:29Any updates from Fred HQ?
06:30Nothing yet, but it's safe to assume Runes on his way here.
06:33Captain, the Archive's hailing us.
06:36Oh, put them through.
06:40Hello and welcome.
06:41I'm Hyrel, one of the sworn order who tend to the Eternal Gallery and Archive and call it home.
06:47I'm Captain Burnham of the Federation Starship Discovery.
06:50Thank you for the speedy response.
06:52Oh, we saw you coming.
06:54Very exciting.
06:55We love visitors.
06:56I'll be explaining how to get into the Archive in a moment, but first there's a little speech we like to give.
07:02The Eternal Gallery and Archive is proud to house the largest known collection of historical and cultural artifacts in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant.
07:11Sorry to interrupt, but we're in a bit of a hurry.
07:13Of course.
07:14We can talk while we travel.
07:16Sending coordinates and velocity adjustments now.
07:19As this is your first visit into the Archive, please follow my instructions precisely and do not deviate.
07:26The Archive is not responsible for any damage, dismemberment, or death that may result in your failure to do so.
07:35Was that meant as a joke?
07:36I guess we'll find out.
07:39Commander Asha, take us in.
07:41We'll see.
07:42Aye, Captain.
07:50The Archive has made its home in the Badlands for nearly a century.
07:53These uniquely treacherous environments helped us protect our collection.
07:56Archive as such as myself comes from a wide array of backgrounds.
08:00We have devoted our lives to the preservation of...
08:02We appreciate the information, but if you don't mind, we need to focus.
08:06I understand.
08:07I'm here if you have any questions.
08:15Status report.
08:16Radiation levels are rising.
08:18Shields are down to 70%.
08:19Captain, Hyrule's telling us to cut engines.
08:22Hyrule?
08:25No, we can't hear you, Hyrule!
08:27I know engines know it could be catastrophic.
08:30What did she expect us to do without engines?
08:31Coast on our current momentum, I guess.
08:34Well, she hasn't led us wrong so far.
08:37Cut the engines.
08:40Hi, Captain.
08:48I can't stabilize without engines.
08:50Follow the path as best as you can.
08:52Shields down to 52%.
08:53Pulling from the grid to boost.
08:55Radiation levels still rising.
08:56Shields at 37%.
09:0025%.
09:01Hang on, everybody!
09:13Holy shit.
09:16Nice work, everyone.
09:19There it is.
09:26Let's go get that final clue.
09:35Let's go get that final clue.
09:56And here...
09:59Let's go get that final clue.
10:00Janet Leigh.
10:01I'm sure there was still very good.
10:03All right.
10:05Three or four here.
10:07It's good for the Π KRISTEN.
10:08We haven't really got anything in the West,
10:10we have October 24th.
10:12Three Escal approach has finally created over Miami,
10:13City in 2.
10:15Both glass doors and every single dark mind.
10:17Stay in the 60s of our family.
10:19All right.
10:21And here's halfway up.
10:22Have a lot of faith.
10:53We'll be within range in less than a minute, Captain.
11:18Lieutenant Gallo?
11:19Shields back to capacity in less than 10.
11:21Commander Raynor?
11:23It took a beating, but no significant injuries or damage.
11:25We're good.
11:25Captain, we're still seeing high levels of, uh, shrink-off radiation.
11:29It's a byproduct of plasma activity.
11:31We won't be able to cloak.
11:33Then neither will the green.
11:35Lieutenant Christopher, hail Archivist Tyrell.
11:37Aye, Captain.
11:40She's responding.
11:42Ah, it's good to see you made it all in one piece.
11:45I'll have the archive lower their shield so you can transport in.
11:48I'll be down shortly.
11:50There is just one other matter.
11:52My scans show that there is a Kweijan aboard Discovery.
11:55Is that correct?
11:57It is?
11:58We have an item from Kweijan in our possession.
12:02As it is one of the last remaining artifacts of that world,
12:05we would appreciate it greatly if your colleague could accompany you
12:08and provide some context on it.
12:11Now let's come to join.
12:12Maintain yellow alert and eyes up.
12:20The Breen are likely on their way.
12:22Brainerd, you have the con.
12:28You want to see me?
12:32The archive has something from Kweijan.
12:35You can come with me if you want.
12:39Yes.
12:42Good.
12:45We should go.
12:47I should apologize.
12:51Look, when you all sent Mo away...
12:56I mean, I get it.
12:59You have a duty, your mission.
13:01I know it was a tough call.
13:03Yeah, not all yours.
13:04Yeah, I get it.
13:05But I supported it.
13:06And I stand by the decision.
13:11Right.
13:11I do care about you.
13:16And what's important to you.
13:23Okay.
13:25Let's go.
13:26Let's go.
13:26And down that aisle, you'll find our extensive collection of original Valaric manuscripts.
13:50We can take a detour if you like.
13:52No, thank you.
13:52We're pressed for time.
13:54And speaking of, I asked my first officer to report about our recent run-in with the Breen.
13:59You did receive that, didn't you?
14:00We sure did.
14:01And we thank you for it.
14:03So if the Breen track us here, we'll do everything we can.
14:07Oh, not to worry.
14:08The Breen are contributing members of the Archive.
14:11We have quite a bit of experience dealing with cultures in active conflict with one another.
14:16We're here to serve everyone, as long as everyone follows the rules.
14:20And if they don't?
14:20Why, we send them to the dungeon, of course.
14:24Just kidding.
14:26We don't actually have a dungeon here.
14:28It's really more of an oupliette.
14:33I've set up viewing rooms for you both.
14:35They're right this way.
14:36The manuscript you requested.
14:51Labyrinths of the Mind.
14:55Has anyone else ever come looking for this?
14:58Our records show you are the first.
15:02What can you tell me about the person who left this here?
15:04Only the basics, I'm afraid.
15:07According to our records, Dr. Derricks was an accomplished neuroscientist, originally from Beta Zed.
15:12Became an archivist herself later in life, lived out the remainder of her days here.
15:18I'll leave you to it while I show Mr. Booker to his viewing room.
16:04Is your name really Book?
16:27Uh, yeah.
16:27How fun to have a book, visit me in the library for a change.
16:32Hm.
16:33This box is truly wood.
16:55We were hoping you could tell us what it is.
17:12Mm-hmm.
17:17It's, uh...
17:21Cutting from the Quajon world root.
17:32Wow.
17:36How?
17:37It was given to us long ago, but was recently moved to a place of honor.
17:44It is part of our sacred duty to ensure that cultures that are lost are never forgotten.
17:49Hm.
17:58Wow.
18:03If you would like to take that with you, we consider that you're right, as one of the last living Quajon.
18:11We would only ask that you return someday, and tell us what's become of it, so we may have a record.
18:25Michael, are you on the lead for us?
18:28Michael?
18:30Hey.
18:32Michael.
18:33Michael.
18:58Hello?
19:03Burtoms of Discovery, do you copy?
19:15Hello?
19:17Shhh!
19:21I'm at a really good part.
19:33Book?
19:39This isn't real, is it?
19:44Nope.
19:48Your consciousness has been transported into a mindscape.
19:51A virtual space created from what your neural activity indicates as the most important place in your life.
19:57I've never been here before.
19:59The mind doesn't lie.
20:01Who are you, exactly?
20:04I'm the program Dr. Derrick's created.
20:07So why do you look like you?
20:10My form was generated from your subconscious.
20:13So you tell me.
20:20So this is a test.
20:23Same as with every other clue we found.
20:25So I've gotta figure something out, pass, get the clue and get out, yeah?
20:29Sounds like you know the drill.
20:31Then let's get on with it. I'm ready.
20:34Are you?
20:41She's stable.
20:42At least physically.
20:44Doesn't seem to be in any distress.
20:46What happened to her?
20:47I don't know.
20:48I've worked here for decades.
20:49I've never seen anything like this.
20:51It looks like some sort of nucleonic emitter.
20:54It's connected to her frontal lobe and it appears to be running a program in her mind.
20:59Okay.
21:00Can you stop it?
21:01Not safely.
21:02And transporting her back risks severing the nucleonic beam.
21:05Disconnecting it while the program is still running could be fatal.
21:08I'm going in after her.
21:09This must be it, right?
21:10The transmitter.
21:11Why isn't it working?
21:12It must not be capable of multiple connections.
21:13But each clue so far has had some kind of challenge involved.
21:14We have to assume that that's what this program is.
21:15We can't just wait around and hope she passes the test.
21:16The clue's here.
21:17We have to find it ourselves.
21:18Hyrel.
21:19I need everything you've got on this neuroscientist.
21:20Any biographical data, any book she's accessed.
21:21I'll be back shortly.
21:22I'll be back shortly.
21:23I'll be back shortly.
21:24Okay, the clue's in his computer.
21:25Okay.
21:28The clue's in his brain.
21:29Yes?
21:30It's the case.
21:31I can't do it.
21:32I can't do it.
21:33Okay.
21:34No, no, no, no, no.
21:35No, no, no.
21:37You're not too bad.
21:38I can't do it.
21:39Okay, I'm gonna die.
21:42She's gonna die.
21:43We'll die.
21:44I can't do it.
21:45okay the clue's in here somewhere find it and you'll know where it is in the real world
21:57find the clue that's the test no the clue is the objective the test to find it you'll have to
22:03figure out on your own i don't have time for games the scientists who hid the pretenders
22:08technology including dr derrick's wanted it found and protected that's what i'm here to do
22:14good i hope you succeed let me know if i can help can you narrow down where to look i'm not allowed
22:23to give hints what about yes or no questions can you answer those depending on the question yes
22:28oh my brain should a big tilling derrick's was a neuroscientist so what kind of test would she
22:35have created there's too much here to search randomly she wants us to succeed yes yes she
22:46would have created a
22:47a way to narrow the scope of the search i assume this is here for a reason everything's here for
22:58a reason so the clue wouldn't be in fiction or art neuroscience is too easy but if it were hidden
23:05in a shelf or in something that looked like a book history is that it a history section what's your
23:19logic they started the clue trail during the dominion war janal said they wanted it found during a time
23:26of peace he believed peace was possible the only way progress like that happens is by learning from the
23:32past those who learn history aren't doomed to repeat it so we'll go through all the books on the
23:38dominion war go from there where's the history section have you thought about what might happen
23:43if you fail no the mindscape shuts down and your brain functions will cease
23:48security precaution sorry
23:54you shouldn't be surprised janal will let him eat or not eat us it's not too late to leave
24:01i can release you now last chance i'm gonna finish this mission and you are going to help
24:11lead the way let's go
24:14i found everything you asked for biographical data and a list of all materials accessed by dr derrick's
24:36while in residence
24:38you're faster to list what you didn't access there is another matter as well
24:44a breen ship has arrived at our beacon they are requesting access to our archive
24:52you can't let them in not now we cannot be perceived as taking sides but i will handle this appropriately
24:59discovery commander reese red alert
25:06the breen are on their way
25:10hello i'm hyrell one of the sworn order who tend to
25:24practice starfleet jump signature to this location they seek an item which belongs to me
25:29as a matter of policy when it comes to conflict between our visitors the archive does not
25:34i hope for your sake that it remains in your possession
25:37sir in light of the fact that we have several priceless green artifacts in our archive
25:47i'll do you the courtesy to suggest that you rephrase your request
25:51your request is denied and all breen privileges are suspended until further notice may you gain knowledge elsewhere
26:10elsewhere
26:17lock told me the brain had great reverence for their culture and history
26:29not either hmm you say what is hidden down there will reveal the location of the progenitor's technology how
26:38you have to combine it with the other clues that discovery has
26:43you made no mention of other clues
26:45discovery is here already somewhere you can easily overpower them find what's in the archive take what they've got we have everything we need
26:53we have everything we need
26:54is there anything else
27:00do not test my patience again
27:06the light's getting dimmer or are we just been at this too long
27:13hmm
27:15never mind
27:20there's nothing in the dominion war section or any other wars nothing invades that history true history of the mere universe
27:39i'm going the wrong way aren't i
27:44yes
27:46damn it
27:47why didn't you tell me
27:50you didn't ask
27:51i told you everything in here was for a reason
27:54you assumed the reason was history
27:56oh try being proactive next time
27:59it's your mindscape
28:00i can help you but i can't solve it for you
28:02fine
28:03why is this library the most important place to be
28:09why did my subconscious pick this place
28:11for the test
28:13it's the mission
28:17isn't it
28:19it's because the mission is here
28:23and when i'm on a mission that's my priority
28:26that's why this place matters so much
28:29speaking proactively you may be onto something
28:32good
28:33great
28:35so
28:36so
28:37labyrinth of the mind
28:42this mission isn't a labyrinth of books
28:47labyrinth
28:48labyrinth
28:49oh it's a maze
28:53finishing the mission means getting out
28:56getting out
28:57and getting out is how i find the clue
28:59i am supposed to find my way out
29:02back to the reading room where it all started
29:05right
29:06unless you'd rather die in here
29:08hmm
29:09well there are mathematical methods for solving mazes
29:12try more's algorithm
29:17i just need to find a way to mark my path to eliminate routes
29:21thank you
29:28for what it's worth i prefer this version of you that is helpful
29:30tilly would have been just as frustrating for what it's worth
29:34hmm
29:42nothing in there leads to the clue how about a reading list
29:44comprehensive guide to talaxian hairstyles
29:46eperian folktales
29:47euclidean geometry
29:50i don't know seems like she just love learning new things
29:51any suggestions
29:53excuse me
29:57unfortunately our conversation with the brain did not go well
29:59we have raised our shields
30:01which means transport back to your ship will be impossible for the time being
30:04my apologies
30:05i must go prepare our defenses
30:08i'll help you
30:10let me know if you need me
30:11damn it
30:13discovery
30:14what's your status
30:15sir we've detected the brain on approach through the plasma storm
30:17how far out
30:18the plasma is blinding our sensors
30:19so we're relying upon the plasma storm
30:20the plasma is blinding our sensors
30:21so we're relying upon the plasma storm
30:22the plasma is blinding our sensors
30:23the plasma is blinding our sensors
30:24and we're relying upon the plasma.
30:26not far out
30:27the plasma is blinding our sensors
30:28so we're relying upon gravimetric calculations
30:30lieutenant naya
30:31i'm guessing we have two minutes
30:33discovery is no match for that ship's firepower
30:34find a way to conceal yourself
30:36and stand by for further orders
30:38rain or out
30:39we can't cloak
30:41we'll have to use natural cover
30:44commander asha
30:46take us out of the oasis
30:47back into the plasma storm
30:48sir
30:49if it blinds our sensors
30:50it'll blind theirs too
30:51lieutenant naya
30:52monitor weather patterns in the plasma storm
30:54send the data to asha station
30:56keep us as safe as you can
30:58hi commander
30:59just stating the obvious here
31:00but we can only withstand that storm
31:01for so long
31:02i know
31:03we just need long enough
31:06not enough
31:36Yes.
31:47Yes!
31:49Yes!
31:51Yes!
31:56Ah, that's where we came in.
32:08Gotcha.
32:15What?
32:17What the hell?
32:20I thought you had it, hmm?
32:23Why are you making this so hard?
32:26I'm doing what the scientists wanted.
32:30I'm trying to...
32:32They didn't ask for you.
32:35What?
32:37They wanted the technology in their right hands, yes.
32:41They wanted it protected, yes.
32:44But who's to say you're one of the good guys?
32:47How could they possibly know that you, Michael Burnham,
32:50out of anyone alive, could be trusted with it?
32:56There's a test here.
32:59We haven't passed it yet.
33:05The lights are going out.
33:10I'm running out of time, aren't I?
33:13Yes.
33:14You are.
33:16Her cortisol levels are rising.
33:32Whatever she's experiencing, she's stressed.
33:34Scared.
33:36Commander Rainer, do you copy?
33:38Yeah.
33:39What's going on?
33:39We're detecting some kind of energy connection
33:42between the Dreadnought and the Archive Shields.
33:44I've never seen anything like it.
33:46It seems to be focusing on one particular spot.
33:48Shit.
33:49They're using shield tunneling technology
33:51to get their troops inside.
33:52Discovery, figure out how that tech works
33:54and find a way to slow it down.
33:55Aye, Commander.
33:56Booker, I need you back here right now.
33:58Breener coming in.
34:00All my way.
34:01I'm gonna need it all the time you and Book can get me.
34:03What is the test?
34:14Is it why this mission is so important?
34:18Every mission is important.
34:21So what is it?
34:28Labyrinths of the mind.
34:29Is it me?
34:36It's my mind.
34:39Right?
34:42That's why my subconscious picked you.
34:45Because we talked earlier.
34:47And...
34:48And what?
34:51We didn't fix it.
34:54That's why I picked you.
34:57Because I want to fix it.
34:58But I don't know how.
35:04He looked at me like that, too.
35:07Flat.
35:09Because he thinks the job is all that matters to me.
35:13And so is that what you want?
35:15Do you want me to admit that?
35:17That the job is everything?
35:19Is that how I get the clue?
35:21Or maybe...
35:22I should go even more psychobabble here.
35:24And admit that if I don't complete this mission,
35:27then I don't know who I am.
35:28Or maybe I think that, uh...
35:33Nobody will love me or...
35:37Or care about me if I'm a failure.
35:44Maybe that's the reason why I lost you.
35:47Him.
35:49Is that right?
35:50Some of those things may be true, but they are not the answer.
35:56Wait.
36:08Wait.
36:10So, I succeed.
36:12I fix things.
36:14What's wrong with that?
36:15What's wrong with having a purpose?
36:16You don't have to go out every day and prove yourself.
36:20Why you matter.
36:23You don't have to prove that you deserve this uniform.
36:27This rank.
36:29That...
36:30That you can be counted on.
36:32That you won't quit.
36:33That you won't fail again.
36:34Again?
36:40Screw you.
36:42I'll find my own way out.
36:43Engineering.
36:50How much longer till we can help the Archive?
36:52We are working on it, Commander.
36:54So, how the hell do we disrupt a shield tunneling technology
36:57we've never encountered before
36:58from a species we know almost nothing about?
37:01And don't forget, we have to do it without the breed
37:03knowing we're here.
37:04How hard could that be?
37:06Wait.
37:06Look at this.
37:06The tunnel has a periodic fluctuation.
37:09It's 8.4 times per second.
37:11Yeah, they're using harmonic resonance
37:14to match the Archive's shield frequency.
37:17I love when you two do that.
37:19It's an automated process,
37:20but if we could make the Breen system think
37:22that the frequency's changed,
37:24it would remodulate closing the tunnel
37:26so none of the soldiers can get inside.
37:28The problem is the Breen used base to a deck of coding,
37:30which is, like, really hard to hack.
37:32Remember when I was talking about all the odd jobs
37:35that I used to have?
37:36Yes?
37:38There was a stint where I fixed comms relays
37:42near a Hesperia.
37:44Hesperians really know how to party, by the way,
37:48but it's another story.
37:50Point is, we do remote repairs
37:51using concentrated positron beams,
37:54which can be set to pulse at pretty much any frequency.
37:58We could direct a positron beam
38:00right to where the tunnel meets the Archive's shield,
38:03and then if we set the beam to a different frequency,
38:06that's it.
38:07Do it again.
38:08The tunnel would automatically close.
38:10But eventually they're going to realize the error
38:13and correct it.
38:14Yes, but hopefully by then our team's already out.
38:17Great idea.
38:18I live to serve.
38:20Commander!
38:21We have a solution, but it'll take a few minutes.
38:24We'll do our best to survive that long.
38:29They'll come into this intersection here.
38:31They'll find out and look for us.
38:32I'm guessing in groups of four.
38:33Okay, I see a few places where we could hit them from.
38:36Depending on their arrival position.
38:37No.
38:40There, we'll be hidden by a shelving,
38:42but we'll have clear sight lines wherever they come in.
38:48You think like a hunter.
38:49I do.
38:50I survive the brain.
38:51We're closing the tunnel now, Commander,
38:52but some of the brain got through.
38:56We'll be ready.
38:58All right.
38:59Whatever it is you're talking about,
39:07it isn't your only problem.
39:09Someone just took out one of your troops.
39:12I told you Discovery was here.
39:14There's more of that down here,
39:35you gelatinous assholes.
39:41Send me down there.
39:42I've beaten Starfleet in close quarters.
39:44Do you think I'm a fool?
39:46I would never miss the chance to bring Locke back.
39:49And you don't have to keep losing soldiers.
39:51We will sacrifice as many as it takes.
39:54Reduvent all forces in the facility
39:56to that sector immediately.
40:00He doesn't give a shit about Locke.
40:04Or any of you.
40:06You know that, right?
40:12Hang on, hang on, hang on.
40:14Book's been shot.
40:16Book.
40:16Hold on.
40:17Let me take a look.
40:18All right, easy.
40:19It's not that bad.
40:20Dominal cavity.
40:22I can't treat this here.
40:23We need to get you to sick day.
40:24What's the captain's status?
40:25No change.
40:26She's still in it.
40:27Discovery report.
40:28We disrupted the tunnel,
40:30but they'll have it fixed soon.
40:31And we can't take this plasma storm much longer.
40:34What do you want us to do, Commander?
40:37Five more minutes.
40:39If the captain's not conscious by then,
40:41we evacuate.
40:43Contact the archive.
40:44Have them ready to lower shields.
40:45It's just long enough for us to be mounted.
40:47Wait.
40:48What about the clue?
40:49The clue won't matter if we're all dead.
40:51No, no, no.
40:51No.
40:52We can't.
40:53Locke, listen.
40:55I know transporting means we could lose her.
40:59But if we stay, we most definitely will.
41:01I was all right.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:19I needed a minute.
41:21Your time is almost up.
41:25I know.
41:29I've tried everything.
41:31There's nothing else I can do.
41:39I don't want to die in here.
41:42Are you afraid of death?
41:49Not really.
41:53I'm afraid a lot.
41:55But not of death.
42:02I'm surprised to hear that.
42:04The great Michael Bannum.
42:06Afraid.
42:08More than I'd like to admit.
42:14Of failing.
42:15And not being enough.
42:20Good enough captain.
42:23Friend.
42:25Partner.
42:30Sometimes.
42:32It drives me, that fear.
42:35And I hate that.
42:44I hate it so much.
42:47It makes me feel...
42:51It makes me feel small.
42:55And weak.
42:57Ashamed.
42:58Ashamed.
43:06Sounds hard to live like that.
43:12Well, I've been working on it.
43:17But it's always there.
43:19It actually feels good to say it out loud.
43:25Even if you're not really both.
43:29I should have told him that.
43:33Why I pulled back.
43:39But I was afraid I had failed him.
43:41Or me.
43:47And so it was easier.
43:49So just...
43:53Well, anyhow...
43:57Can you at least tell me what the test was?
44:04Before the lights go out.
44:07No need.
44:11You've passed.
44:21How?
44:22If you're going to be the one to protect what the progenitor's left behind,
44:26you need to know yourself.
44:28Be able to be honest with yourself.
44:31Especially with the things that are hard to look at.
44:35Fear.
44:36Guilt.
44:38Things you may be vulnerable to.
44:39Most can't admit those things to themselves.
44:43That you can.
44:44That's the only way you can be trusted to do the right thing with so much power.
44:52Congratulations, Michael Burnham.
45:00That's one hell of a test.
45:01Yeah.
45:01Damn.
45:09You don't mess around, do you?
45:12There's a crystal in viewing room seven.
45:15Once you wake up, just go in, get it, and break it open.
45:20The clue's hidden inside.
45:23Okay.
45:24I guess I should head back then.
45:29There's one more thing you need to know first.
45:32About something inside your final destination.
45:36The way to get through it.
45:37I'm a bug.
45:45Bug.
45:46Hey, Michael.
45:47Captain.
45:48Michael.
45:48Bug, you're hurt.
45:53What happened to you?
45:55What happened?
45:56I'll be okay.
45:58What's our status?
45:59We need to evacuate now.
46:00Bring her here.
46:01More coming.
46:02I know where the final clue is.
46:03We need to get there first.
46:05Let's move.
46:05Commander Reese, are you ready?
46:14On your mark.
46:15Archive's standing by the lower shields, but the brain reinforcements are almost there.
46:19How much time do we have?
46:2030 seconds, if you're lucky.
46:21It's enough.
46:31Commander, now!
46:32Energize!
46:35Our booking call, we're in sick bay.
46:46Hi, Captain.
46:48What's the status of the archive?
46:49Erel said several archivists were injured, but none critically.
46:52Yet.
46:53With reinforcements beaming in, it won't last long.
46:55Figures they need help.
46:56I sent Gallo to work on our shield emitters.
46:58Good idea.
46:59Commander Jemisin, have Gallo's team route all the available power to your station.
47:03Commander Asha, get ready to take us out into the open and draw the brain away from the archive.
47:06Aye, Captain.
47:07Aye, Captain.
47:07All right, Asha.
47:11Let's fly.
47:23Primark, we have discovery on scans.
47:26They're hailing us.
47:28Put them through.
47:29Primark Rune, your business is with us, not with the archive.
47:33They no longer have the item you desire.
47:36So you do.
47:37And if you fire on us, you'll destroy the clue.
47:40If you do not send me the entire set of clues immediately, I will destroy the archive.
47:46Captain, the Dreadnought's charging some sort of energy weapon.
47:50Primark, wait!
47:51There are a thousand innocent lives in that archive.
47:53Take this as your final warning.
47:55Captain, Harrell's reporting significant injuries.
48:09Give me the clues or more blood will be on your hands.
48:13First, I'll need your assurance that the archive and everyone in it will not be harmed any further.
48:28Captain.
48:29You are in no position to bargain.
48:31I am if you want the clues.
48:34Now swear on it!
48:35A Targoon to spare the archive and all its inhabitants.
48:39A Targoon is a sacred Dreadnought.
48:44You expect me to spare one with a human?
48:47That is exactly what I expect.
48:50I need a moment to consider.
48:53Tilly, get the rest of the clues up here.
48:55Need to finish the map so we can find where the tech is hidden.
48:57On it.
49:00Why would you do this?
49:02The Federation's compassion has always been its weakness.
49:05To save the few, they will risk the many.
49:08It could be a trick, Primark.
49:10She would not risk that.
49:12Not after seeing what our weapons can do.
49:15Reopen communications.
49:17They're ready, Captain.
49:19Put them through.
49:22I will grant your Targoon.
49:24I will spare the archive and all those inside.
49:27Deviate from our agreement and they will die excruciating deaths.
49:32Stand by for transport.
49:33Discovery out.
49:34Tilly?
49:35I'm here.
49:35I'm here.
49:36Last clue.
49:43Here we go.
49:44Here we go.
49:46That's it.
50:13Coordinates to the Progenitor's technology.
50:18Get a scan of that map to Stamets.
50:20Have him stand by to jump.
50:21Hi, Captain.
50:24Prepare to vent main shuttle bay and all plasma from both nacelles.
50:28You heard your captain.
50:31Get to it.
50:33I, Commander.
50:36Primark, we received an item from Discovery via transport.
50:41Materialize it.
50:44Is the object authentic?
50:47It is.
50:48Good.
50:49Log on to Discovery.
51:03Prepare to fire.
51:05What?
51:05No.
51:08You'd be starting a war with the Federation.
51:10All the Breen factions would be drawn in.
51:13They could turn against us.
51:14Us?
51:16So you're a Breen now?
51:18I am the wife of the Scion.
51:21The dead Scion.
51:27They're locking on to us.
51:29Evasive maneuvers.
51:30Everybody hold tight.
51:31Commander Stamets, are you ready?
51:32Steady by, Captain.
51:33We're going to vent and jump simultaneously.
51:36Black alert.
51:39Incoming.
51:43Damage report.
51:44I'm losing lateral thrusters.
51:46Damages reported on decks 5, 14, and 18.
51:49They're firing again.
51:50Fire back and hold steady.
51:53Structural integrity is weakening.
51:55Shields down to 30%.
51:56Captain.
51:57Keep holding.
52:00Shields are collapsing.
52:01On my mark.
52:03Now!
52:27Is everybody all right?
52:28All right, Captain.
52:29Aye, Captain.
52:29Aye, Captain.
52:30Aye, Captain.
52:31Commander Asher, where are we?
52:33Twenty-two light years off target.
52:35Commander Stamets!
52:37I'm not sure what happened.
52:38The four drive's malfunctioned.
52:39Sensors say it was damaged by the Breen assault.
52:42We cannot jump again until it is fixed.
52:44Warp drive is also damaged, Captain.
52:46Looking into how bad.
52:47Keep me posted.
52:49Any casualties?
52:50A few minor injuries.
52:51That's it.
52:52Good.
52:53Lieutenant Tilly, considering maximum warp,
52:55how long will it take the Breen ship
52:56to get to the map coordinates?
52:58Six hours, give or take.
53:00Commander Reiner, I want all available personnel on repairs.
53:03They have five hours, and then we need to go.
53:05You got it.
53:07Smart move, by the way, Captain.
53:08Now Rune thinks we're dead.
53:10Advantage us.
53:11Someone once told me never turn my back on a Breen.
53:15They still might beat us to the coordinates.
53:17Now I learned something in the Mind Scale.
53:20Something we'll need to know when we get there,
53:21and I can't imagine Rune figuring it out.
53:24What about Mom?
53:25You swore, Taragoon.
53:51Don't make this any worse for your crew
53:56than you already have.
53:59Set a course for the map coordinates.
54:02The goal is luck.
54:03The goal is...
54:05Whatever I say it is.
54:06Recharge the weapons.
54:09Take her to the chamber.
54:10And Pramark, shoot.
54:15Take her!
54:18Yes, Pramark?
54:19No, damn it!
54:25Wait!
54:26If you destroy the Archive,
54:27it won't just be the Federation coming after you.
54:29It'll be other Breen, too.
54:31As revenge for your dishonor.
54:34With the pretenders' power,
54:35we will not worry.
54:37But you don't have it yet,
54:39do you?
54:41Don't worry.
54:42Locke will never support your succession
54:47if you kill me.
54:50I don't need Locke anymore,
54:52or you.
54:56And there it is.
54:58You don't give a damn about your Scion,
55:01your oaths,
55:02or the lives of your soldiers.
55:05Would Locke do this?
55:07Would your Scion be this selfish?
55:11He left...
55:12for a human?
55:14He loves me.
55:16Yes.
55:17But he left because of you.
55:21Pramark, don't.
55:24How dare you!
55:25I am the Wife of Locke,
55:48Scion,
55:49and true ruler of the Imperium.
55:51I am the Wife of Locke,
55:52and true ruler of the Imperium.
55:55I am the Wife of Locke.
55:57We will get him back.
56:02Long will he reign!
56:13Long will he reign!
56:18Long will he reign!
56:21Long will he reign!
56:23Long will he reign!
56:25Long will he reign!
56:26Long will he reign!
