Apologies, Admiral.
178
00:08:05,099 --> 00:08:07,361
To your point, the Breen

179

but having Moll and L'ak elsewhere
180
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,626

our jump signature.

what kind of carnage

Yeah, let Discovery stay.

thank you for coming so quickly.

President Rillak has delegated
me to lead negotiations

no official contact
since before the Burn,
209

This faction seeks power.
223
00:11:23,776 --> 00:11:25,777
There must be something we can offer
224

as beneficial enough

Competing claims from disparate

A primarch of the royal line

for your Erigah.
354
00:17:28,445 --> 00:17:31,143
This primarch really wants you. Why?
355
00:17:37,671 --> 00:17:40,065
We could have let you die out there.
356
00:17:42,067 --> 00:17:44,155
Instead, we're risking
our lives to help you.
357
00:17:44,156 --> 00:17:46,157
If you want to help
us, let us out of here.
358
00:17:46,158 --> 00:17:47,767
Take our chances on our own.
359
00:17:47,768 --> 00:17:50,161
With him in his condition?
You would have no chance.
360
00:17:50,162 --> 00:17:52,120
Some things are worse than death.
361
00:17:52,121 --> 00:17:53,295
What's worse than death?
362
00:17:53,296 --> 00:17:55,907
This conversation, for starters.
363
00:18:00,477 --> 00:18:03,393
Primarch doesn't actually
plan to kill you, does he?
364
00:18:05,612 --> 00:18:08,658
Who are you?
365
00:18:08,659 --> 00:18:10,703
His child?
366
00:18:10,704 --> 00:18:13,533
Sibling? Cousin?
367
00:18:19,017 --> 00:18:21,933
What does he really want with you?
368
00:18:24,457 --> 00:18:28,112
Fine, I'll tell you what
he wants. The throne.
369
00:18:28,113 --> 00:18:31,071
I'm guessing, somehow,
you can get it for him,
370
00:18:31,072 --> 00:18:32,856
if he can have you
under his thumb again.
371
00:18:32,857 --> 00:18:34,423
And for someone who
fought for their freedom
372
00:18:34,424 --> 00:18:36,034
that would be worse
than death, wouldn't it?
373
00:18:45,304 --> 00:18:48,481
Oh, it's you, isn't it?
374
00:18:51,397 --> 00:18:54,965
You are the bloodline, not the primarch.
375
00:18:54,966 --> 00:18:58,273
He can't succeed without you.
376
00:18:58,274 --> 00:18:59,883
Yeah.
377
00:18:59,884 --> 00:19:02,581
Lucky me.
378
00:19:02,582 --> 00:19:06,019
Direct descendent of the emperor.
379
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:09,980
The scion of the Breen Imperium.
380
00:19:09,981 --> 00:19:13,289
Makes me sick to even say it.
381
00:19:14,812 --> 00:19:17,030
So do me a favor.
382
00:19:17,031 --> 00:19:18,598
When my uncle gets here...
383
00:19:20,644 --> 00:19:22,863
... spit in his face for me.
384
00:19:39,663 --> 00:19:41,272
ZORA: I've found a match
385
00:19:41,273 --> 00:19:43,405
for the phrase inscribed
upon the metal card.
386
00:19:43,406 --> 00:19:46,799
Labyrinths of the Mind is the
title of a Betazoid manuscript,
387
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,412
written in 2371 by a Dr. Marina Derex.
388
00:19:50,413 --> 00:19:52,109
That's one of the
scientists who helped hide
389
00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:53,632
the Progenitors' tech. Uh, any chance
390
00:19:53,633 --> 00:19:55,504
you can source us a copy?
391
00:19:55,505 --> 00:19:57,593
Only a few thousand were
published in its time.
392
00:19:57,594 --> 00:19:59,421
I don't see that any remain available.
393
00:19:59,422 --> 00:20:02,554
I'm sorry, there has
to be one somewhere.
394
00:20:02,555 --> 00:20:05,557
Looking more closely, I don't
believe a copy will be helpful.
395
00:20:05,558 --> 00:20:07,733
The punctuation of the Betazed symbols
396
00:20:07,734 --> 00:20:09,387
point to this being the root text.
397
00:20:09,388 --> 00:20:11,911
That is, the original
handwritten manuscript.
398
00:20:11,912 --> 00:20:13,348
TILLY: The original manuscript?
399
00:20:13,349 --> 00:20:14,523
Well, any chance that still exists?
400
00:20:14,524 --> 00:20:15,524
If it does,
401
00:20:15,525 --> 00:20:16,916
I have no record of it.
402
00:20:16,917 --> 00:20:18,483
Fantastic.
403
00:20:18,484 --> 00:20:20,659
For a second there, I
thought we had a gimmie.
404
00:20:20,660 --> 00:20:24,620
Uh, Zora, could you do a scan
of Starfleet personnel files
405
00:20:24,621 --> 00:20:26,970
to see if there's anyone with expertise
406
00:20:26,971 --> 00:20:29,364
- on ancient manuscripts?
- Oh, that's a good idea.
407
00:20:29,365 --> 00:20:31,889
Of course, Ensign. One moment.
408
00:20:34,979 --> 00:20:37,023
- [CHUCKLES]: What?
- Nothing, just...
409
00:20:37,024 --> 00:20:38,851
Remember how scared you were to
410
00:20:38,852 --> 00:20:41,724
be on the bridge when we went
to Halem'no? You did a great job.
411
00:20:41,725 --> 00:20:43,160
I don't know about that. [CHUCKLES]
412
00:20:43,161 --> 00:20:44,466
No, you did.
413
00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:45,858
And you're doing a great job with this.
414
00:20:45,859 --> 00:20:47,817
You're just... helping us find the clue.
415
00:20:47,818 --> 00:20:49,688
Just seems like, in general,
416
00:20:49,689 --> 00:20:51,473
you're really finding your
way, and you shouldn't be afraid
417
00:20:51,474 --> 00:20:53,562
to take on more, you know?
418
00:20:53,563 --> 00:20:55,304
You have it in you.
419
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,221
- Well, thanks, Teach.
- [COMPUTER CHIMES]
420
00:21:01,222 --> 00:21:02,701
I have found someone

00:21:02,702 --> 00:21:04,355
with relevant experience.

- Commander Reno.

00:21:14,105 --> 00:21:15,584
TILLY: Uh, Commander Reno, uh,
426
00:21:15,585 --> 00:21:16,759
we could use your help.
427
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,587
If you can talk while I work.
428
00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:20,806
This targeting matrix is screwy.

Got to have accurate weapons
430
00:21:22,374 --> 00:21:24,244
if we start shooting
it out with the Breen.
431
00:21:24,245 --> 00:21:26,769
Everyone seems to
think that's inevitable.
432
00:21:26,770 --> 00:21:28,423
It's the whole faceless-helmet vibe.
433
00:21:28,424 --> 00:21:31,730
Truncheons. Jackboots.
Where's the nuance?
434
00:21:31,731 --> 00:21:35,299
Yeah, so we're working
on the latest clue. Uh,
435
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,083
it points to a rare manuscript.
436
00:21:37,084 --> 00:21:39,172
We were thinking since you
used to work with those, um...
437
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:42,911
Uh... I may have padded
my résumé with that one.
438
00:21:42,912 --> 00:21:44,356
Truth is, I used to move
439
00:21:44,357 --> 00:21:48,573
hard-to-find folios for a
shady antiquarian archivist.
440
00:21:48,574 --> 00:21:50,923
Try saying that one five times fast.
441
00:21:50,924 --> 00:21:54,100
- Uh, sorry, you were a smuggler?
- I smuggled.
442
00:21:54,101 --> 00:21:58,104

I committed to Starfleet.

at a cozy little dive on Ashalon Four.

I'm actually supposed to pick up a
guest shift tonight at Red's Lounge.

You haven't lived until
you've tried my Seven of Limes.

Wow, you really got around.

Uh, not... I'm sor... Not like that.
450
00:22:18,778 --> 00:22:20,910
Oh, yeah, like that.
451
00:22:20,911 --> 00:22:23,695
All right, well, story
for another time. Um...
452
00:22:23,696 --> 00:22:26,306
we are looking for a
very specific manuscript.
453
00:22:26,307 --> 00:22:28,396
It is a handwritten Betazoid text
454
00:22:28,397 --> 00:22:30,528
called Labyrinths of the Mind.
455
00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:31,790
RENO: Never heard of it.
456
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:35,054
There's a lot of places
something like that could end up.
457
00:22:35,055 --> 00:22:37,970
Private collections, museums,
458
00:22:37,971 --> 00:22:39,494
in a landfill.
459
00:22:39,495 --> 00:22:41,147
We can't hit a dead end here.
460
00:22:41,148 --> 00:22:43,541
Once we figure this out, it'll
take us to the final clue.

00:22:43,542 --> 00:22:46,849
No, no, we'll figure
it out. Walk with me.

00:23:28,631 --> 00:23:31,198

- BURNHAM: Yes.

Without him, this primarch

figure out how to use

receiving medical treatment,

and any extradition orders
493
00:24:26,906 --> 00:24:28,777
would need to be drafted and approved.
494
00:24:28,778 --> 00:24:30,779
Four hours should suffice.

00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:32,476

figuring out the phrase.
