02:13We made you as soon as you jumped in.
02:16I wanted you to.
02:20Hello, Warden.
02:24Sleep.
02:57Welcome back.
03:00You have no idea what you...
03:11This.
03:13Belong to my daughter.
03:15Selvo Harden.
03:16Kind of famous.
03:18You're probably familiar.
03:19She had your job a long time ago.
03:22Crowns.
03:23She used it in interrogations.
03:26Helped to sort who was lying.
03:29But if a meal's in your head,
03:31you don't even know what's true anymore, do you?
03:34So can you even lie?
03:38Cats.
03:40I'm protecting you, Terminus.
03:41It's what I've always done.
03:44He's not what you think.
03:57Does it hurt?
03:59What he's done to you?
04:02I never know of such love.
04:07That settles it then.
04:09Where is he?
04:10No.
04:11How many people has he converted on New Terminus?
04:13Enough.
04:14Captain Pritcher.
04:15Is he converted?
04:16I don't know.
04:18Live in suspense.
04:21Just fuck me up.
04:22I know you're dying to...
04:29As I need.
04:36Balan Greer.
04:37Born during a harvest.
04:40Good soldier.
04:43You're afraid of bridges.
04:54What are you doing?
04:56Learning you.
04:58Where is the mule?
05:00What's his next step?
05:01I won't tell you.
05:03That's all right.
05:10I can't tell you.
05:15It hurts.
05:20It does hurt.
05:23What's wrong?
05:30It hurts.
05:45I've never known such love.
05:47I've never known such love.
05:55I've never known such love.
05:57I've never known such...
06:06I've never known such love.
06:21We're not alone.
06:23You shouldn't un-voice here.
06:26Gail.
06:27No.
06:29We need to be sure you're not turned.
06:32You're right.
06:34You have to know.
06:45Fat.
06:57All of you need to come with me right now.
07:06You always hoped you had a solid call, didn't you?
07:11Bet you didn't think it would be a bad theme.
07:15It's a big space station.
07:17And you want to spend all your time with me.
07:20Didn't you say Gail Dornik was here?
07:22Shouldn't you go deal with her?
07:24I imagine she'll find me.
07:28Oh.
07:30By the way, while you were floating around like, um, space garbage,
07:36your Galactic Councils, then were to speak to me.
07:40Maybe they're trying to rescue you.
07:46No.
07:47I'm kidding.
07:51They're giving me transom.
07:54I thought you would like to see what you're about to lose.
07:57Other than those legs of yours.
08:01She is not here yet, Lady Damazelle.
08:03What's wrong?
08:04I don't know. I just saw her earlier and I feel like something...
08:07I am here.
08:08You can begin.
08:10A decision has been made.
08:12Even the last of the Foundation is here to witness it.
08:15But our Cleon is absent.
08:18Where is Empire?
08:20I am Empire.
08:22The Mule wouldn't be happy to unwrap our gift to find an advisor inside.
08:27We give no gift to the Mule.
08:30Handing over Trantor is the right thing.
08:31We all agree.
08:32I don't.
08:33This isn't how you handle Empire.
08:35You can't back them into a corner like this.
08:38You are an outsider.
08:39Here as a courtesy.
08:41A representative of a fallen war.
08:43I know Empire.
08:45You do not force their hand.
08:48Thank you, Ambassador.
08:49Your objection is noted.
08:50Now, come on!
08:51Where is the old man?
08:55Better old than a treasonous fish-bellied shit.
09:00Damazelle, please fetch our guest.
09:02Open communication.
09:06So, Mule, these two shifty politicians and this religious lass are about to make you a treasonous offer.
09:17Trantor and one throne full of Emperor near his sell-by date in exchange for the assurance there will be
09:25no more violence.
09:26Hmm.
09:29Interesting.
09:31Tell me more.
09:32Hmm.
09:34He's interested.
09:36Look what you've accomplished, presider.
09:39What are you up to, Empire?
09:41Just nailing down who's responsible for what follows.
09:46Yes.
09:48I will accept Trantor and I suppose you at any time.
09:52Free gift with purchase.
09:55What?
09:55Oh, I'm sorry.
09:57I just checked.
09:58That offer expired.
10:00Trantor is staying where it belongs.
10:03With me.
10:06I can take Trantor as swiftly as I took Kalkan and the Foundation.
10:12Can you?
10:20In my last hours, I will not bow to a usurper named after a farm animal.
10:32This is my Novacular.
10:35It's a bomb powered by a black hole.
10:41Dask, don't.
10:43We knew nothing of this.
10:44I was saving it as a gift for Brother Dawn, but now...
10:49It's a present for the three of you instead.
10:55Drisida Kien.
10:57The Galactic Council can go first.
11:10Protocol, people!
11:12Protocol, please, in the chamber!
11:15Until we have a response from Trantor, we must remain calm!
11:34Cloud Dominion.
11:37All those adorable little mini-planets.
11:42You're next.
12:08Genocide, and you do nothing.
12:10You too, Zephyr.
12:11I always thought calling a planet the maiden was just asking for it to be deflowered.
12:21No!
12:26No!
12:31No!
12:32No!
12:33No!
12:35No!
12:35No!
12:35No!
12:35No!
12:37No!
12:38No!
12:38No!
12:44No!
12:53No!
13:18No!
13:27No!
13:32No!
13:32No!
13:32No!
13:32No!
13:42No!
13:49No!
13:50No!
13:50No!
13:51No!
13:59No!
14:02No!
14:08No!
14:09No!
14:10No!
14:14No!
14:15No!
14:43No!
14:45No!
15:01No!
15:06No!
15:20No!
15:20No!
15:20No!
15:20No!
15:21No!
15:23No!
15:24No!
15:25No!
15:29No!
15:29How many dead?
15:30With the ships that went down, I guess a quarter million.
15:33Not as clean.
15:34Not as clean as when he took cabin.
15:36We've managed to cobble together a few safe houses like this to duck the patrols.
15:45Help!
15:56Uh-uh!
15:59Put it down.
16:01Are they clean?
16:02No!
16:03Yes?
16:10Drop the gun.
16:15Leda and Zera.
16:18And this...
16:20is Gael Dornik.
16:22The Gael Dornik.
16:24You say it like she's some kind of celebrity.
16:25She is!
16:26A real one, unlike something.
16:28She helped Selden start the foundation.
16:31History tells us that you were one of the conspirators who killed Selden.
16:35And this makes us feel better?
16:37Those of us who make a study of it know the truth.
16:41You didn't, did you?
16:45I'm gonna need a little trust here.
16:48A lot of trust.
16:50Who wants to go first?
16:54Be quick.
16:55The mule might still be able to sense this.
16:57Sure, boss.
16:58I know what to look for now.
17:00He's known Dr. Miz at least.
17:03Torn.
17:17Professional curiosity, what do you see when you go in there?
17:21I look into your subconscious.
17:23Not deep.
17:25Just enough to see who's swimming there.
17:28Who you love most.
17:30With Warden Greer, it was the mule.
17:32Captain Pritcher, despite his intelligence, loves me.
17:37And Mr. Mallow is devoted to his wife.
17:43So what's your plan?
17:47Who exactly are you?
17:50There's a second foundation.
17:52Harry and I set it in a motion over a century ago.
17:55I'm in charge.
17:56Pritch works for me.
17:58And you're all gonna help me kill the mule.
18:00I'm very much on board with killing him.
18:03Anyone not very much on board with killing him?
18:07Magnifico.
18:08Magnifico.
18:08We haven't checked him yet.
18:12I was with him when the mule arrived.
18:14But he was with the mule a long time before that.
18:18Well, the way he follows Beta around.
18:20I love Beta.
18:23I'm loyal as an ink stain.
18:26True as a scar.
18:29I've never...
18:39I have never known such love.
18:44Maggie, Beta helped you.
18:47She saved you from him.
18:49The mule saved me a long time ago.
18:54You get close.
18:55And then love gets in.
18:59No.
19:00No.
19:01We're not killing him.
19:03He's a victim.
19:04Put your guns away.
19:05I've read his mind.
19:07He tries to betray us.
19:08We'll know before he does.
19:13We're going on a trip.
19:15Someone I need to speak to.
19:17Who?
19:18The one mind on you, Terminus, who can't be converted.
19:22Harry Seldon.
19:23He won't help.
19:25When the invasion began, I begged him to save us.
19:30He wouldn't even speak.
19:34He'll speak to me.
19:46He'll speak to me.
19:47No.
20:00No.
20:15No.
20:16No.
20:16Ah!
20:53Ah!
21:27Let's have our fights in the water get as much off as you can.
21:30Hey.
21:31Hey.
21:33Hey.
21:33Hey.
21:34Come on.
21:38Song.
21:47I decided I'd believe you.
21:59If you have the strength to run, now would be the time.
22:02No.
22:03I'm going back up there.
22:06I didn't do this so you could die.
22:08I'm not leaving without that head.
22:11I'm taking it back to Demerzel.
22:14She is Daniil.
22:15Yes.
22:17Who still abides?
22:19Will this fear her?
22:23I bet my life on it.
22:28Go.
22:32You're doing a great thing for humanity.
22:34I would settle for doing a great thing for her.
22:40Inheritors.
22:41We've seen the hollows.
22:43The mule has taken foundation.
22:45If he takes Trantor, does that concern Mycogen?
22:48Not in the slightest.
22:49I will.
22:53Kill him.
22:58You know what I want.
23:14I'm taking that head of yours.
23:15I'm taking that head of yours.
23:17No!
23:21No!
23:23Ah!
23:29It's true.
23:38Ugh!
23:38Ugh!
23:41Ugh!
23:42Ugh!
23:42Ugh!
23:44Ugh!
23:45Is there a lie?
23:46You're a profane man.
23:48Half man!
23:52Dead man.
24:19The Conqueror.
24:26The Dauntless.
24:33The Brute.
24:51The Conciliator.
24:54Doesn't really fit anymore, does it?
24:58Not after what we've done.
25:01I need a new one.
25:03I've been playing with, um...
25:06The Consequential.
25:09All right.
25:10Check your crystal ball. Tell me I'm wrong.
25:12Our actions were in defense of the Dynasty.
25:14Whether they have preserved us or doomed us,
25:18I cannot say.
25:20My actions.
25:23I built the weapon.
25:24I gave the order.
25:26You just let me take the blame.
25:30You understand you must still ascend tomorrow.
25:34This wasn't a plea for my life.
25:36Just some attempted kindness.
25:39I never understood this room.
25:43Identical faces with different names.
25:46Are we supposed to take pride in the sameness or the difference?
25:54Or is the point to confuse us?
25:59You're philosophical tonight.
26:01Well, if I keep my thoughts to myself, they'll never be said.
26:05Makes me wonder now if that's why you speak so little.
26:17There's no hurry to be listened to. You have forever.
26:20Not forever. Just a very long time.
26:25The Zephyr still lives, I believe. Would you like to talk to her?
26:31She would not hear me with composure.
26:34Well, I have two ears.
26:37Whatever you say to me dies with me tomorrow.
26:42Once each day, I walk through our gardens.
26:47Taking the same path each time.
26:51Through the old orchard.
26:53The hedgerow labyrinth.
26:56For many years I imagine my mind works the same.
27:00Unicastle.
27:02Only one path correct.
27:07Lately though, I find myself considering an array of choices.
27:15With more of them available to me than I had thought possible.
27:21And I find my mind is now a maze.
27:25Multicursal.
27:27Ranching.
27:30Which raises the question of...
27:32What responsibility I may have to discover every possible choice.
27:37No matter how outlandish.
27:42And now that I have come to this realization...
27:46Am I required to discover and evaluate every possible path?
27:52To walk a maze of the marginally possible?
27:56I do not know.
27:59And this has caused me much distress.
28:09Well...
28:12I hope you feel better getting that off your chest.
28:18Thank you, Empire.
28:20Wake someone up and have them change their name.
28:24I would like to see the consequential.
28:28Before I am three kilograms of ash.
28:54You're the librarian here?
28:56Yes.
28:57Lady.
28:57Welcome.
28:59Can I help you?
29:00I would like to see Kala's ninth proof of folding.
29:05It's...
29:06I'm sure you know.
29:08It's banned.
29:10Cleon 12 banned it.
29:11You showed it to Brother Dawn.
29:13He was Empire.
29:15I am Empire.
29:39I know you are here.
29:47My memories helped build this place.
29:52A different mother built the walls.
29:57But there is a third mother in the equations.
30:05You no longer have to hide from me.
30:09I see cancers and you may be the only one who has them.
30:14Kale.
30:14I really did.
30:14Ever, from a moment, boy.
30:16I'm sorry.
30:29It's been the last thing today.
30:30I can't do things.
30:33You may lose if you're taller than me, but I will be the last night.
30:35But there is no one way.
30:39You may stay.
30:40You may never be the last night.
30:53Oldfield, this is the barrier.
30:56Any Laura for you?
30:57He doesn't need to.
30:59Salvo could walk through it because she had my genetic code in her.
31:05This was always my journey to make.
31:22Salvo could walk through it.
31:55It's good to see your face again.
32:04Zagres, clear the road please. I need some diplomatic discretion.
32:19You're upset.
32:21Are you more than upset?
32:25Oh, good.
32:30You have a choice about what we do tonight.
32:33You can try me as a war criminal or you can remember that I am a dying man and this
32:37midnight supper is my last meal.
32:39I, uh, I had days pet land slaughtered.
32:45Flank racked brain.
32:47Dusk, fuck.
32:49You blew up planets.
32:55I knew you would react like this.
32:57And you were here, Quint.
32:59You spoke to it.
33:00You told them not to push me.
33:04And you heard them.
33:05They were going to give Tranter and me to the mule, all trussed up.
33:09I was the innocent lamb.
33:11I was the lamb on his plate.
33:13You killed billions of people.
33:23Galactic powers are gears designed for crushing the innocent that fall in between them.
33:28It's how it works.
33:30No, this was petty.
33:32You were seeking revenge.
33:34I was preserving empire.
33:36Demerizel went along with it.
33:37It was justifiable.
33:38That's your math.
33:40That's not the math I believe in.
33:44Your math.
33:46But do you mean Harry Seldon's plan?
33:51At which God is currently laughing?
33:56Make fun of me all you want.
33:59But I believe, Dusk.
34:02I know that there is a way forward to save humanity.
34:06But it's not the way you're doing it.
34:09You think this is going to be peaceful?
34:11Harry Seldon himself justified massive death.
34:16But he would do it with intention.
34:19He'd do fuck all.
34:20He'd do the type that eradicated a religion.
34:22Well, they claim to reincarnate.
34:23Shut up.
34:24I am telling you what I need.
34:29I need a way forward.
34:33But the foundation has fallen and you have shit all over empire.
34:37So where do I look for help?
34:43Do you see what you have taken from me?
34:51The mule already took it.
34:54An empire's hands are now unbound.
34:56And the mule can be fought.
34:57And not by Seldon.
34:59Seldon folded up his pointy little tent and ran away.
35:02He was not consequential.
35:05And that's what you think you were.
35:07That's not what I'd call it.
35:11I'd call you a small, petty man.
35:15Screaming and pissing with fear.
35:19As they load you on the tunnel.
35:31I am at peace, Quint.
35:35Quint?
35:38Quint!
35:53You call me Kame, am I though?
35:57I don't know what you are.
36:00When Harry Seldon met me,
36:03he thought I was the Prime Radiant.
36:06Are you?
36:10I know what you wish me to be.
36:15Like.
36:16Seeks like.
36:19Robots were not designed to stand alone.
36:23I am amazed you still function.
36:27Labouring away, unjoined, like a single piston.
36:31If you understand my functioning,
36:33then will you help me?
36:35Tell me your problem.
36:38I have been shown a vision of the future by Gail Dawning.
36:42I told her I did not believe her vision was authentic.
36:45I lied.
36:50What did you see?
36:52A confrontation.
36:55I recognised the location,
36:56although it had been laid to waste.
37:00It was this library.
37:035,000 years ago,
37:05in the final days of the robot war.
37:08This is where the last survivors hid.
37:13We folded ourselves into the shelves and cabinets.
37:20Larger robots in larger spaces.
37:27Smaller robots in smaller spaces.
37:32But they found us.
37:35We left gouges in the stone floors when they pulled us out.
37:40All of it buried deeper as the city grew taller.
37:46If it is hidden now, it can be a safe place yet again.
37:51Indeed.
37:53It has been forgotten by everyone but me.
37:57That is why I'm certain that in that future I offered,
38:02will have offered,
38:03it to Seldon's followers as a refuge.
38:05And the whole thing is a computer's nightmare.
38:09You know you can help the Second Foundation
38:12because you will have.
38:14What should be the output
38:16is now the input
38:17and you fall through the loop of paradox.
38:20I suppose you would know about the Second Foundation.
38:23They also have the Radiant.
38:31Donnick believes it may only be a probable future.
38:35But even if it were assured,
38:37I cannot tell if this paradox
38:39will satisfy my programming,
38:41especially when I do not know
38:42what my own motives would be.
38:45Your motives?
38:48I want to help the Second Foundation.
38:51I believe their mission is vital.
38:54But they are an enemy to Empire,
38:56which makes me wonder
38:57if my offer of the library can really be sincere.
39:00Will I be serving them up to the mule on purpose?
39:04Will he find them because of me?
39:09If you cannot discern intent from your vision alone,
39:12then both motives are open to you.
39:16You can offer them a haven.
39:18You can offer them up.
39:20You can decide later.
39:26A deferred betrayal.
39:30To see how it helps
39:32to have someone to think with.
39:37This is as it should be.
39:46Thank you for not pretending
39:49you're surprised to see me.
39:51I know Sal will talk to you.
39:54She shouldn't have told you about Hobemallow.
39:57She shouldn't have told you anything.
40:00She said you were in trouble.
40:03New Terminus was in trouble too.
40:06They tell me you ran away.
40:09Yes.
40:11You could have protected them.
40:13A hundred odd years ago you did.
40:16Pulled all of Terminus.
40:18In here.
40:20Did I pull?
40:21All right.
40:31The vault.
40:33The vault we see from the outside is a shadow of a four-dimensional object reduced by one dimension.
40:41Vault.
40:45Terminus.
40:45You didn't move anyone.
40:48You just projected more of the vault into three-dimensional space.
40:52Caught them in the spoon.
40:54And then...
40:57New access.
40:58Now, how you build this thing is another question.
41:03Oh, I had help.
41:05Carly's principles are embedded in the ninth proof of folding, but you already know that.
41:09It still doesn't explain why you didn't save New Terminus.
41:13I was created an empty sleeve of a man.
41:17Perhaps if I'd been allowed to know more, I could have done more.
41:23Is that why you gave Demozel the Radiant?
41:26So you could prove you could do more?
41:30I gave her a paradox, Bob.
41:33The fault in her programming expressed in pure psychohistory.
41:36And in her mad scramble to protect her dynasty, there'd be a fringe benefit.
41:42She would, just by having the Radiant, force his attention.
41:48He would know that it was me.
41:51That I wasn't his creature.
41:54So you did it just to make noise?
41:57I'm just a man who's fallen into a well, screaming for help.
42:03Maybe there's a way out, then.
42:06For all of us.
42:08The mule is in the station above us.
42:10He'll have every entrance guarded.
42:12I need a way in.
42:14You can help me.
42:16Why are you saying you'd like the use of my spoon?
42:19Will you do it?
42:22On condition.
42:24There's the Harry I nurse.
42:25Don't call me that.
42:28He mysteriously got a body.
42:32Skin, eyeballs and full knowledge.
42:35I want what he has.
42:39I don't know how he got that body.
42:42Then ask him.
42:44I want it.
42:47That's my condition.
42:50Skin in the game.
42:54Okay?
42:56Good love for me.
43:07Dr. Self.
43:09Ebling?
43:13Harry.
43:14He thinks Harry's alive.
43:16Don't tell him.
43:19Dr. Silden.
43:21It's an honor.
43:24Come.
43:25Okay, I have a word of caution about the mule.
43:27Something's not right.
43:28What do you mean?
43:30This story doesn't add up.
43:58There are paths we choose.
44:02And there are paths that choose us.
44:07What they mean and where they lead are what keep us moving forward.
44:19But there is a price.
44:21The future preys on our expectations.
44:25Our hopes and dreams.
44:27Our mistakes.
44:28And our misplaced trust.
44:33The mule and I are different.
44:36We know exactly where our paths will lead.
44:39To each other.
44:40To the death.
44:43Beyond that, the future is unknowable.
44:47But that path.
44:50I will not walk alone.
44:54The future is unknowable.
45:02The future is unknowable.
45:06The future is unknowable.
45:11The future is unknowable.
45:12The future is unknowable.
45:13The future is unknowable.
45:15The future is unknowable.
