1
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:28,738
[Burnham] Previously on
Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:28,821 --> 00:00:30,323
These experiences I've had...
3
00:00:30,406 --> 00:00:31,741
And now we're on this quest
4
00:00:31,824 --> 00:00:34,202
to find the thing that created us.
5
00:00:34,285 --> 00:00:36,454
- But Paul...
- Hates the unknown.
6
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:39,249
And we've always been able
to find answers together.
7
00:00:39,332 --> 00:00:41,012
I don't know how to talk to him
about this.
8
00:00:41,084 --> 00:00:42,293
[Rayner] It's a time bug.
9
00:00:42,377 --> 00:00:45,880
They're designed to paralyze an enemy ship
by randomly cycling them through time.
10
00:00:45,964 --> 00:00:47,548
The whole point is to keep us stuck.
11
00:00:47,632 --> 00:00:50,385
Adira. The time bug wasn't your fault.
12
00:00:50,468 --> 00:00:52,136
Well, I brought it on board, didn't I?
13
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:54,514
Two signatures on the bridge,
that's you and me.
14
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:57,225
Three from sickbay.
That's Moll and L'ak and the clue.
15
00:00:57,308 --> 00:00:58,308
They found it.
16
00:00:58,351 --> 00:01:01,187
[weapons firing]
17
00:01:08,361 --> 00:01:10,321
[both grunting]
18
00:01:10,405 --> 00:01:11,840
[L'ak] This wasn't supposed to happen.
19
00:01:11,864 --> 00:01:13,032
Get away from us!
20
00:01:13,783 --> 00:01:16,577
- [Rayner] Captain?
- System shows it's a Terran warp pod.
21
00:01:16,661 --> 00:01:19,501
Two life signs, sickbay equipment.
It's got to be a life-support system.
22
00:01:19,539 --> 00:01:21,499
- It's Moll and L'ak.
- We'll find them.
23
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:22,935
[Rayner] They left a warp signature.
24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,960
We'll track it.
25
00:01:24,043 --> 00:01:28,548
Paul is prepping to do
a full chemical analysis of this vial.
26
00:01:28,631 --> 00:01:31,342
And then we'll have our next stop.
27
00:01:41,561 --> 00:01:43,771
[Stamets] You think the scientists
designed these clues
28
00:01:43,855 --> 00:01:46,524
to mock you
when you can't figure them out?
29
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:49,193
- I think this will work.
- [Burnham] It better.
30
00:01:50,737 --> 00:01:52,822
This clue's been stalling us for two days.
31
00:01:52,905 --> 00:01:54,240
Any other tests we can run?
32
00:01:54,324 --> 00:01:57,785
That'll tell us something different than
the hundred other tests we've already run?
33
00:01:57,869 --> 00:01:58,870
I don't think so.
34
00:01:59,746 --> 00:02:01,914
The vial's composition's generic,
35
00:02:01,998 --> 00:02:08,504
and the water inside remains pure,
inert, distilled and wet.
36
00:02:09,172 --> 00:02:11,591
Vial's damaged.
Maybe there's a piece missing.
37
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:15,178
[Tilly] Modified spectral analysis
reveals the fluid in this vial to be...
38
00:02:15,261 --> 00:02:16,554
[chiming]
39
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:17,972
...still just distilled water.
40
00:02:18,056 --> 00:02:19,057
[Stamets] Damn.
41
00:02:22,477 --> 00:02:25,313
The other clues had words, had symbols.
42
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:27,440
They had more.
43
00:02:27,523 --> 00:02:31,778
You know, I have reviewed scans
from ISS Enterprise multiple times.
44
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:33,446
There was never anything else there.
45
00:02:34,864 --> 00:02:37,241
I even tried fabricating
the last two pieces of the map
46
00:02:37,325 --> 00:02:39,744
to see what'd happen
when I put them in, and...
47
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:40,995
Let me guess, nothing.
48
00:02:42,288 --> 00:02:43,664
There's no shortcuts here.
49
00:02:43,748 --> 00:02:46,793
We have to solve this clue
to find the next and then the next,
50
00:02:46,876 --> 00:02:48,086
and we need all five.
51
00:02:48,795 --> 00:02:51,798
Then somehow you are gonna tell us
where the Progenitors' power is.
52
00:02:52,632 --> 00:02:53,633
So keep at it.
53
00:02:53,716 --> 00:02:57,553
If chemistry isn't the solution,
try history, anthropology.
54
00:02:57,637 --> 00:02:59,389
Try planets where distilled water
55
00:02:59,472 --> 00:03:02,600
had cultural or symbolic significance
800 years ago.
56
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:04,727
And include worlds
that had severe droughts
57
00:03:04,811 --> 00:03:06,372
and would've needed
rainwater alternatives.
58
00:03:06,396 --> 00:03:08,523
- On it.
- Thank you.
59
00:03:23,538 --> 00:03:26,582
I still find it disorienting myself
sometimes.
60
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:28,334
But you get used to it.
61
00:03:28,918 --> 00:03:31,087
Here I was,
thinking you were born in here.
62
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:34,549
We could be at black alert
within the hour.
63
00:03:34,632 --> 00:03:35,716
What are our coordinates?
64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,051
Excuse me?
65
00:03:37,135 --> 00:03:39,762
I assume I'm here
because you have a lead on Moll and L'ak.
66
00:03:39,846 --> 00:03:42,223
Uh, no. Not yet.
67
00:03:42,306 --> 00:03:45,435
The USS Locherer is handling the search.
68
00:03:45,518 --> 00:03:47,186
This is Discovery's mission.
69
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:50,440
Finding the Progenitors' technology
is Discovery's mission,
70
00:03:50,523 --> 00:03:52,692
and you seem to have
your hands full at the moment.
71
00:03:52,775 --> 00:03:54,610
This particular clue...
72
00:03:55,695 --> 00:03:57,196
We are a bit stalled.
73
00:03:59,282 --> 00:04:02,452
The scientists
who hid the technology's location
74
00:04:02,535 --> 00:04:05,621
each made their own piece
of the clue trail in secret.
75
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:07,970
Stands to reason they would have employed
76
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,669
their respective fields of expertise
in the process, don't you think?
77
00:04:13,004 --> 00:04:16,257
And then, knowing the identity
of the vial's creator
78
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,758
might prove useful.
79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,762
[Burnham]
You found the names of the scientists.
80
00:04:22,472 --> 00:04:24,390
[Kovich] I can be resourceful.
81
00:04:28,144 --> 00:04:32,231
I know it's eccentric of me,
but I do love the feel of paper.
82
00:04:32,315 --> 00:04:34,025
And this isn't replicated either.
83
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:37,528
This is a genuine 21st century legal pad.
84
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,158
Where did you even find that?
85
00:04:42,241 --> 00:04:44,702
Like I said, I'm resourceful.
86
00:04:45,661 --> 00:04:47,413
And you have a mission to see to.
87
00:04:50,333 --> 00:04:52,835
[abuela in Spanish]
88
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:56,923
[in Spanish]
89
00:05:05,389 --> 00:05:06,432
[chuckles]
90
00:05:24,742 --> 00:05:27,161
[both laughing]
91
00:05:29,372 --> 00:05:31,332
[in English] Zora, pause the program.
92
00:05:37,255 --> 00:05:39,257
Send a message to Doctor Pollard.
93
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,636
We might be on to something
with this grief-alleviation therapeutic.
94
00:05:45,596 --> 00:05:47,431
Brain wave patterning is incredible.
95
00:05:49,809 --> 00:05:51,769
And this holo of my grandmother is...
96
00:05:54,939 --> 00:05:56,816
exactly as I remember her.
97
00:05:59,902 --> 00:06:01,862
Sending over my data in a few minutes.
98
00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:07,910
Zora, start the program again.
99
00:06:08,661 --> 00:06:11,914
[in Spanish]
100
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:16,419
[in Spanish]
101
00:06:44,697 --> 00:06:45,698
[in English] No.
102
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:50,202
Program, check the database.
103
00:06:50,286 --> 00:06:52,371
She should be able to answer that.
104
00:06:53,205 --> 00:06:55,833
We spoke often about
her spiritual feelings and practices.
105
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:58,377
[in Spanish]
106
00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:14,101
[in Spanish]
107
00:07:14,185 --> 00:07:16,187
- [chuckles]
- [Culber in English] Of course.
108
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:17,438
[chuckles]
109
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:23,569
[Burnham] Okay, we haven't yet found clues
from Doctor Derex or Doctor Kreel.
110
00:07:23,653 --> 00:07:26,364
For the vial, I'm betting on Kreel.
111
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:28,658
His specialty was designing
weather modification towers
112
00:07:28,741 --> 00:07:29,909
to generate rain.
113
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:31,577
So, we're going to Denobula.
114
00:07:31,661 --> 00:07:33,329
Maybe not.
115
00:07:33,412 --> 00:07:36,415
Um, Zora, can you confirm,
116
00:07:36,499 --> 00:07:41,379
Denobulan weather towers seed clouds
with silver iodide, right?
117
00:07:41,462 --> 00:07:42,546
[Zora] Yes, Commander.
118
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,215
That is typical of their function
119
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,884
both at present
and during Doctor Kreel's time.
120
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:51,097
Right, so then the water
would be filled with contaminants,
121
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:52,431
but it's ultra-distilled.
122
00:07:53,057 --> 00:07:54,684
Well, Kreel's file also mentioned
123
00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:57,853
he did work in weather technology
for other worlds.
124
00:07:59,397 --> 00:08:00,815
If a planet were arid enough...
125
00:08:00,898 --> 00:08:03,109
Then water would have to
be extracted from the air
126
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:04,318
at the molecular level,
127
00:08:04,402 --> 00:08:06,946
which would mean
no contaminants whatsoever.
128
00:08:07,655 --> 00:08:10,408
Zora, how many M-Class planets
were on Denobulan trade routes
129
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:11,575
when this vial was created?
130
00:08:11,659 --> 00:08:12,575
[Zora] Fifteen.
131
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:14,246
And how many of them were dry enough
132
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:17,748
that water would need to be harvested
in that particular way?
133
00:08:17,832 --> 00:08:19,542
[Zora] Only one, Captain.
134
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:20,960
- [laughs]
- [Zora] Halem'no.
135
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:23,044
Whew.
136
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:28,426
[Burnham] The planet Halem'no.
137
00:08:28,509 --> 00:08:31,303
Long-range scans show
a functioning weather tower
138
00:08:31,387 --> 00:08:33,389
of Denobulan design.
139
00:08:33,472 --> 00:08:35,433
It manufactures rain,
140
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:37,435
and it emits a low-grade force field
141
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:41,105
that shields the planet's
only habitable region from dust storms.
142
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,941
We've been able to confirm
that Doctor Kreel designed the tower,
143
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:46,944
so we believe
the next clue is inside of it.
144
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,321
Why would he make a weather tower
look like a mountain?
145
00:08:49,405 --> 00:08:50,465
[Burnham] That's a good question.
146
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:53,325
Ensign Tal, any life signs down there?
147
00:08:54,326 --> 00:08:57,204
Uh, yes. Humanoid.
148
00:08:57,288 --> 00:08:58,204
Um...
149
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:01,459
Definitely pre-warp and preindustrial.
150
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:04,962
Uh,
there's no functioning electrical grid,
151
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:07,465
and geological surveys show
152
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:11,469
that the storms on the planet have gotten
increasingly more severe over time,
153
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:17,057
so... maybe Doctor Kreel installed the tower
as a humanitarian mission
154
00:09:17,141 --> 00:09:20,311
and hid it so not to violate
the Prime Directive?
155
00:09:20,394 --> 00:09:21,520
Makes sense.
156
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,397
It's good to see you on the bridge,
Ensign.
157
00:09:23,481 --> 00:09:26,817
They requested more time up here.
I felt they were ready.
158
00:09:26,901 --> 00:09:28,694
Didn't necessarily mean today. [chuckles]
159
00:09:28,778 --> 00:09:30,321
No time like the present.
160
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,617
Okay, so the Prime Directive
will be a concern for us too.
161
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:37,870
We'll need to get in and out without
revealing our technological capabilities.
162
00:09:37,953 --> 00:09:40,122
Can scans help us locate
the clue inside of that thing?
163
00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:43,667
No, there is an unusual energy field
surrounding the tower.
164
00:09:43,751 --> 00:09:45,461
Won't let me beam you in either.
165
00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:46,545
Any idea why?
166
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:48,672
Not yet, but we are working on it.
167
00:09:48,756 --> 00:09:50,966
Okay. Well,
while they get to the bottom of that,
168
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:53,052
I will head to the surface
with Lieutenant Tilly.
169
00:09:53,761 --> 00:09:56,961
We'll have to get inside of that tower
before Moll and L'ak make their next move.
170
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:58,140
Commander Asha,
171
00:09:58,224 --> 00:10:01,185
get us as close to the planet as you can
without the ship being seen.
172
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:03,270
- Aye, Captain.
- You have the conn, Rayner.
173
00:10:03,354 --> 00:10:04,355
[Rayner] Aye, Captain.
174
00:10:05,356 --> 00:10:06,440
Let's get to it.
175
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,242
[whistling]
176
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,123
[door chimes]
177
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:47,206
Come.
178
00:11:51,462 --> 00:11:52,880
Look. The whistling.
179
00:11:52,963 --> 00:11:55,257
It's a component of their language.
180
00:11:55,341 --> 00:11:58,135
Zora, can you play what they're saying
in Federation Standard?
181
00:11:59,178 --> 00:12:00,804
[voice 1] Hello? Is someone there?
182
00:12:00,888 --> 00:12:03,849
[voice 2]
I am, my good compeer. Are you hurt?
183
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:07,227
[voice 1] No, but I am very thirsty.
184
00:12:07,311 --> 00:12:09,188
[voice 2] There is water for you here.
185
00:12:09,271 --> 00:12:11,357
Why would they speak in whistles?
186
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,317
They don't always.
187
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,736
They have a phonetic language
for day-to-day interactions,
188
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:19,365
but the whistlespeak lets them communicate
across great distances.
189
00:12:19,448 --> 00:12:23,160
It's not uncommon to find in cultures
before communication technology evolves.
190
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:25,621
You can learn so much about a society
191
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:28,666
by the way the individuals
speak to one another.
192
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:31,085
Like the Halem'nites.
193
00:12:31,168 --> 00:12:32,378
[whistling]
194
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:35,005
They don't have any terms
195
00:12:35,089 --> 00:12:37,758
to denote societal status or class.
196
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:40,719
They recognize three
distinct gender identities,
197
00:12:40,803 --> 00:12:44,682
and they prize connection with one another
despite the hardships that they face.
198
00:12:45,349 --> 00:12:46,976
And look, look here,
199
00:12:47,059 --> 00:12:49,645
they have multiple words for pain,
200
00:12:49,728 --> 00:12:52,648
injury, hurt, dust.
201
00:12:52,731 --> 00:12:56,652
I feel like I'm back in Doctor T'Prasi's
xenolinguistics seminar on Vulcan.
202
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:59,321
Wow, you can take the "xeno"
out of the anthropologist,
203
00:12:59,405 --> 00:13:01,165
but you can't take the anthropologist out...
204
00:13:02,741 --> 00:13:04,201
Huh. No, I lost it.
205
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:05,744
Uh...
206
00:13:05,828 --> 00:13:08,122
We could really use you
at the Starfleet Academy.
207
00:13:08,205 --> 00:13:10,082
Well, don't tempt me.
208
00:13:10,165 --> 00:13:12,459
How is it going over there, by the way?
209
00:13:13,252 --> 00:13:14,312
[Rayner over comms] Captain,
210
00:13:14,336 --> 00:13:16,672
we've loaded subcutaneous comms
into the transport system.
211
00:13:16,755 --> 00:13:19,800
Ensign Tal's also been playing with
Starfleet's latest retinal tricorder mod.
212
00:13:19,883 --> 00:13:21,611
Should come in handy
if you need to be discreet.
213
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:22,970
Thank you, Commander.
214
00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:25,806
We're good to go. Take us down.
215
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:37,369
[Burnham]
Let's activate retinal tricorders.
216
00:13:39,403 --> 00:13:43,490
Think Doctor Kreel could have picked
a more gigantic place to hide the clue?
217
00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:47,244
I guess that's why the Halem'nites
call it the High Summit.
218
00:13:48,746 --> 00:13:50,372
Must have known it'd be well-protected,
219
00:13:50,456 --> 00:13:53,000
since they believe they can commune
with their gods there.
220
00:13:57,963 --> 00:13:59,923
So, do you want to talk about it?
221
00:14:00,007 --> 00:14:01,592
- [Tilly] Hmm?
- The Academy?
222
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:03,135
[Tilly] Oh, yeah.
223
00:14:03,218 --> 00:14:05,512
I just got a message
from my student today.
224
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:08,724
Cadet Ross. She actually served us drinks
at the Millennium Celebration.
225
00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:10,267
Yeah. Earnest, big smile?
226
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:12,519
Yes. She's thinking
about leaving the Academy
227
00:14:12,603 --> 00:14:14,354
to take a position on a cargo vessel,
228
00:14:14,438 --> 00:14:16,940
and she wants to know
if I think she should do it.
229
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:18,358
Mm.
230
00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:20,861
- So what are you gonna say?
- I don't know.
231
00:14:20,944 --> 00:14:22,571
Stay? Don't go? I don't know, and...
232
00:14:22,654 --> 00:14:25,699
She wants to leave it all,
and she's not the first.
233
00:14:25,783 --> 00:14:27,385
We're not giving the cadets
what they need.
234
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:28,911
I don't know what the problem is.
235
00:14:28,994 --> 00:14:29,995
[whistling in distance]
236
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:31,330
[Tilly] The whistlespeak.
237
00:14:32,164 --> 00:14:34,291
[Burnham]
The universal translator's got it.
238
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:36,293
[group] We've come here from afar.
239
00:14:37,753 --> 00:14:39,630
[lone voice] Let my voice call you home.
240
00:14:39,713 --> 00:14:41,173
[whistling]
241
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:43,050
[group] We traveled from the dust.
242
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,428
[lone voice] Come rest, you must.
243
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:50,390
[group] We journeyed from the storms.
244
00:14:52,309 --> 00:14:53,912
[lone voice]
In the summit, you'll be warm.
245
00:14:53,936 --> 00:14:55,854
Sounds like they're going
where we're going.
246
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:03,779
Hey. There you are. Got a minute?
247
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:06,198
Yeah. Heading to Engineering.
How can I help?
248
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:09,385
I wondered if you could put me in touch
with the ship's counselor on the Locherer.
249
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:12,049
When they find Moll and L'ak,
I want them to have a full background
250
00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:14,119
and know they can use me
as a resource for anything.
251
00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:16,500
- I'm sure they've been briefed.
- It's not the same.
252
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:19,586
Book, you need to accept that there's
nothing for you to do right now.
253
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:21,463
I can't just sit on my hands, Hugh.
254
00:15:21,547 --> 00:15:23,090
So find something to distract you.
255
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:25,342
What's occupied your brain in the past?
256
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:26,802
Focus on that.
257
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:29,471
Recharge yourself so that you're ready
when you are needed.
258
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,058
You ever get tired
of having all the answers?
259
00:15:33,142 --> 00:15:34,893
I'll check in with you later. [chuckles]
260
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:41,066
Paul, I need your help with something.
261
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,235
Can I pull you away?
262
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:45,445
I'm looking to do
a full neural scan on myself,
263
00:15:45,529 --> 00:15:47,614
and I could use an assistant.
264
00:15:47,698 --> 00:15:49,116
A neural scan?
265
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:50,576
Is everything all right?
266
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:52,099
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
267
00:15:52,161 --> 00:15:55,289
We don't have a lot of data on the
neurological aftereffects of zhian'tara,
268
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:58,041
and this is a chance to gather some.
269
00:15:58,125 --> 00:16:01,211
- Are you having aftereffects?
- No, no.
270
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:04,339
- Maybe.
- Hugh.
271
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:06,675
- Are you sure you're okay?
- Yeah, of course.
272
00:16:07,259 --> 00:16:09,136
We need this data, and, uh,
273
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:12,472
well, when was the last time
you and I got to work together?
274
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:13,682
Might be nice.
275
00:16:13,765 --> 00:16:16,727
- Nothing as romantic as a neural scan.
- [laughs]
276
00:16:16,810 --> 00:16:18,270
So, is that a yes?
277
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:20,439
At your service.
278
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:23,901
Great. I will prep everything,
and we can start in the morning.
279
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:33,368
[whistling]
280
00:16:36,705 --> 00:16:39,166
Hello. Hello.
281
00:16:40,918 --> 00:16:42,336
Greetings, compeers.
282
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:45,214
We heard your call.
283
00:16:45,297 --> 00:16:47,674
Sounds like you're headed
to the High Summit.
284
00:16:47,758 --> 00:16:51,470
Yes, we've been following
the beacon voice since the moonrise.
285
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:54,389
We got lost. May we join you?
286
00:16:54,473 --> 00:16:57,059
Of course. We are nearly there.
287
00:16:57,142 --> 00:16:58,894
[coughing]
288
00:17:04,316 --> 00:17:06,235
[wheezes]
289
00:17:06,318 --> 00:17:07,319
Apologies.
290
00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:10,948
I was clearing dust from an orchard
291
00:17:11,031 --> 00:17:13,033
and lost my way in the drylands.
292
00:17:17,913 --> 00:17:19,039
The drylands.
293
00:17:19,831 --> 00:17:21,667
Were you out there very long?
294
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:24,294
I breathed dust for an entire night
295
00:17:24,378 --> 00:17:27,172
before the sun rose
and my compeers could rescue me.
296
00:17:27,881 --> 00:17:29,383
- Sounds frightening.
- [coughs]
297
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:32,469
I suppose it is why they encourage elders
298
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:35,555
not to take turns
at the edge of the storms.
299
00:17:35,639 --> 00:17:39,142
[wheezing]
But if I did not clear the dust,
300
00:17:39,226 --> 00:17:41,228
another would need to take my place.
301
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:45,357
- Where are you coming from?
- Uh...
302
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,651
We came to worship at the High Summit.
303
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:50,487
Ah, you wish to pray for rain.
304
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:53,240
We have been without it for too long.
305
00:17:54,324 --> 00:17:57,327
Do any of the compeers
go inside the summit to pray?
306
00:17:57,411 --> 00:18:00,163
Only the chosen devout
may enter the temple.
307
00:18:00,247 --> 00:18:02,624
- Surely you know that.
- Of course.
308
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:07,212
But being from the east,
the distance is far.
309
00:18:07,296 --> 00:18:08,797
Bless you, dear child.
310
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,258
You've never seen the High Summit before.
311
00:18:11,341 --> 00:18:13,260
No, no, we never have.
312
00:18:14,136 --> 00:18:16,346
But for years, we have longed to visit.
313
00:18:16,430 --> 00:18:18,056
[chuckles]
314
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:19,516
The day is here.
315
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,852
[chuckles]
316
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:24,479
[person] Compeers, you've arrived.
317
00:18:24,563 --> 00:18:26,023
I'm Ravah.
318
00:18:26,106 --> 00:18:28,525
It's my voice
that's been beckoning you home.
319
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:30,902
Please come with me.
I have water and food ahead.
320
00:18:30,986 --> 00:18:33,155
[wheezing]
321
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,325
She's having trouble breathing.
322
00:18:36,408 --> 00:18:38,493
The Healing Grove, quickly.
323
00:18:38,577 --> 00:18:40,370
[coughing]
324
00:18:45,334 --> 00:18:46,335
Her medicine.
325
00:18:46,418 --> 00:18:48,503
I saw her inhaling it
when we were walking.
326
00:18:48,587 --> 00:18:49,713
Maybe it's in her pack.
327
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:51,673
[compeer coughing]
328
00:18:53,925 --> 00:18:55,927
[sighs] Her lungs are full of dust.
329
00:18:56,011 --> 00:18:58,680
A sonic percussion wave
would easily dislodge this.
330
00:18:58,764 --> 00:19:00,390
She doesn't have to die from this.
331
00:19:00,474 --> 00:19:03,518
- We can't break the Prime Directive.
- No, I know, I know, I know.
332
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:06,646
They're not finding her medicine.
333
00:19:06,730 --> 00:19:08,648
Okay. Help me get her on her side.
334
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,226
[Ravah] There they are, Father.
335
00:19:14,696 --> 00:19:16,698
Do not stop, compeer.
You're keeping her alive.
336
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:18,992
Give these out.
337
00:19:19,076 --> 00:19:20,202
One to each.
338
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:24,915
Quickly. Form a tight circle around her.
339
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:31,338
Stay strong, my good compeer.
340
00:19:32,339 --> 00:19:34,174
[bowls clanging]
341
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,351
[coughing continues]
342
00:19:56,405 --> 00:19:58,782
[clanging continues]
343
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:02,786
[coughing]
344
00:20:19,553 --> 00:20:20,713
[priest] You must forgive me.
345
00:20:22,806 --> 00:20:26,184
I did not have time to warn you
of the intensity of the sound cure.
346
00:20:26,268 --> 00:20:28,728
It's amazing that you found a cure at all.
347
00:20:29,521 --> 00:20:30,814
Really impressive.
348
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:35,068
- [Tilly] Hey, you're awake.
- [Burnham grunts]
349
00:20:35,152 --> 00:20:38,405
Ravah here's been telling me
all about the High Summit.
350
00:20:38,989 --> 00:20:40,574
[Ravah] I, too, was born far away.
351
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:42,343
My father brought me here
after my mother died
352
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:43,719
and he became priest of the summit.
353
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,221
[priest]
Let her regain her strength, Ravah.
354
00:20:45,245 --> 00:20:46,556
[Ravah] But they were on the front lines.
355
00:20:46,580 --> 00:20:49,374
When my turn comes, I'll clear that dust
twice as fast as anyone else.
356
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:51,751
Ravah, the most important thing
357
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:54,254
is to work in harmony
with the rest of your compeers.
358
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:56,047
Of course you're right, Father.
359
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,592
But it's clear you're very strong.
360
00:20:59,092 --> 00:21:01,553
We're eager to enter the High Summit,
361
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:03,096
to give thanks to the gods.
362
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:06,641
The gods do not require you
to enter the temple to give thanks.
363
00:21:06,725 --> 00:21:08,411
[Ravah]
But you could get in if you wanted to.
364
00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:11,229
You just have to complete
the Journey of the Mother Compeer.
365
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:13,732
- Ravah, please.
- Journey of the Mother Compeer?
366
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:16,902
[Ravah] It's a race and a test of devotion
because it's quite grueling.
367
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:19,964
Everyone says that we're due because
watching the race makes the gods happy,
368
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:21,740
and we've been without rain for so long.
369
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:24,326
Only the one who wins is worthy
of entering the temple.
370
00:21:24,409 --> 00:21:27,287
There, they're close to the gods
and they can ask for their blessing.
371
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:29,122
[priest]
Let's discuss another time, Ravah.
372
00:21:29,206 --> 00:21:30,790
Our compeers only just arrived.
373
00:21:30,874 --> 00:21:33,418
But we wish to show our devotion
in whatever way we can.
374
00:21:33,502 --> 00:21:34,628
[Ravah] And this is perfect.
375
00:21:34,711 --> 00:21:37,297
If you make the request,
we could do it tomorrow morning.
376
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:38,423
Isn't that right, Father?
377
00:21:38,507 --> 00:21:40,717
One just has to make the request.
That's how it works.
378
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,969
- Hmm.
- Then I make the request.
379
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:47,682
Nothing's more important to us
than entering that summit.
380
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:21,132
[children laughing]
381
00:22:22,968 --> 00:22:24,052
[Ravah] Oh!
382
00:22:24,135 --> 00:22:25,971
Good morning, compeers. [chuckles]
383
00:22:26,763 --> 00:22:29,182
Are there any messages
you'd like me to bring to the gods
384
00:22:29,266 --> 00:22:30,267
when I see them?
385
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:31,685
You're running today?
386
00:22:31,768 --> 00:22:34,938
You've inspired me,
as you've inspired the others.
387
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:37,148
The difficulty of the Journey
is legendary.
388
00:22:37,232 --> 00:22:38,733
Most don't even finish.
389
00:22:38,817 --> 00:22:41,820
Ravah, may I have a word?
390
00:22:41,903 --> 00:22:43,989
No, Father, I'm getting ready.
391
00:22:45,115 --> 00:22:46,908
You are too young to take the Journey.
392
00:22:48,493 --> 00:22:50,412
I'm stronger than you think I am.
393
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,415
You're wearing that today?
394
00:22:56,167 --> 00:22:58,211
I wish for Mother to watch over me.
395
00:23:00,964 --> 00:23:03,258
Ravah, I promised her that...
396
00:23:03,341 --> 00:23:06,381
- You would keep me a child forever?
- [priest] No, that I would protect you.
397
00:23:07,345 --> 00:23:08,763
[Ravah] I've grown, Father.
398
00:23:09,472 --> 00:23:12,309
- I'm devoted. You must see that.
- [Halem'nite] Excuse me, compeer.
399
00:23:12,392 --> 00:23:15,228
Tradition demands
we begin the preparations.
400
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:16,438
As you wish.
401
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:27,949
You know, I have a student, um, back east.
402
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:31,161
She reminds me a lot of you.
403
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:34,205
She just wants to get out there and do
as fast as she can.
404
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:35,790
It can be hard to even,
405
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:39,044
just as a teacher, to step back.
406
00:23:40,629 --> 00:23:43,256
I can only imagine
what it would be like as a parent.
407
00:23:44,049 --> 00:23:46,176
My father is a great man.
408
00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:48,595
And I want to show him
that I can be great too.
409
00:23:50,555 --> 00:23:53,183
Compeer, may I have a moment?
410
00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:58,331
[Burnham over comms] We're alone,
Discovery. We don't have much time.
411
00:23:58,355 --> 00:23:59,595
[Rayner] We'll talk fast, then.
412
00:23:59,648 --> 00:24:02,734
Ensign Tal chased down a hunch
and found something interesting.
413
00:24:02,817 --> 00:24:05,487
I did a historical regression
414
00:24:05,570 --> 00:24:07,322
of Halem'no's weather patterns,
415
00:24:07,405 --> 00:24:08,823
and the data indicated that
416
00:24:08,907 --> 00:24:11,201
there might have been other
weather towers in the past.
417
00:24:11,284 --> 00:24:14,079
We sent down a team of DOTs
into the dust storm to check it out.
418
00:24:14,162 --> 00:24:16,289
- We found four more towers.
- Yeah.
419
00:24:17,332 --> 00:24:19,501
Over time, the others failed.
420
00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:22,295
Their energy-distribution matrices
fell out of alignment,
421
00:24:22,379 --> 00:24:25,131
and that's the same thing
that's happening to the High Summit.
422
00:24:25,215 --> 00:24:27,193
That's what's causing the energy field
that's stopping us
423
00:24:27,217 --> 00:24:28,653
from beaming you inside for the clue.
424
00:24:28,677 --> 00:24:30,095
[Burnham] Okay, what's the solve?
425
00:24:30,178 --> 00:24:33,556
All of the towers have
an auxiliary control panel hidden nearby.
426
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,400
If you can find the one
near the High Summit,
427
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:38,770
it should be easy enough to reset any of
the components that have failed over time.
428
00:24:38,853 --> 00:24:41,666
[Tilly] Adira, were there settlements
around any of the other weather towers?
429
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:43,441
At all of them, in fact.
430
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:45,205
They were destroyed
when the towers failed.
431
00:24:45,235 --> 00:24:47,696
So, if we don't fix this one,
everyone here will die.
432
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:49,364
Thank you, Discovery.
433
00:24:50,949 --> 00:24:52,867
[sighs] One mission just became two.
434
00:24:53,743 --> 00:24:57,497
Well, we've checked
for biological, chemical
435
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:59,791
and genetic anomalies, and, um,
436
00:24:59,874 --> 00:25:03,420
turns out you have a perfectly typical,
437
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:07,757
healthy and rather handsome human brain.
438
00:25:07,841 --> 00:25:13,138
So, no lasting neurological effects
of zhian'tara whatsoever?
439
00:25:13,221 --> 00:25:14,222
None.
440
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,691
There's something you're not saying.
441
00:25:26,401 --> 00:25:28,486
It's just I was hoping these scans
442
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:30,739
would give me an answer.
443
00:25:32,157 --> 00:25:34,993
You know, a physiological cause
for what I'm feeling, and...
444
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:38,371
Then I'd understand.
Then I could talk about it.
445
00:25:38,455 --> 00:25:39,615
[Stamets] I don't understand.
446
00:25:39,664 --> 00:25:41,541
Are you feeling sick, or...
447
00:25:41,624 --> 00:25:43,084
No. Uh...
448
00:25:44,002 --> 00:25:45,295
The opposite.
449
00:25:47,422 --> 00:25:49,174
Ever since Trill, I've...
450
00:25:50,550 --> 00:25:52,635
felt more connected, more, um...
451
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:58,308
attuned to something greater than myself.
452
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:01,936
Greater than all of us.
453
00:26:03,605 --> 00:26:06,441
But if there's no scientific reason
for it, then...
454
00:26:07,317 --> 00:26:10,403
So it's a... spiritual thing?
455
00:26:13,490 --> 00:26:15,825
Hey, what matters most
is that you're okay.
456
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:19,204
The scans would have picked up
anything with health implications.
457
00:26:19,287 --> 00:26:22,081
So, in lieu of that, I say
458
00:26:22,165 --> 00:26:24,250
why don't you just enjoy it?
459
00:26:25,293 --> 00:26:26,294
Really?
460
00:26:27,545 --> 00:26:30,673
The human brain,
with its billions of neurons,
461
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,926
each with thousands of connection points,
462
00:26:33,009 --> 00:26:36,262
it's one of the most complex things
in the known universe.
463
00:26:36,346 --> 00:26:37,347
[chuckling] So...
464
00:26:39,432 --> 00:26:40,433
enjoy it.
465
00:26:41,476 --> 00:26:42,477
Right. [chuckles]
466
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,569
[chattering]
467
00:26:54,864 --> 00:26:58,243
[Burnham] The race is about to begin.
Are you not happy, compeer?
468
00:26:58,952 --> 00:27:00,537
Are you not enjoying today?
469
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:04,207
I was thinking of the last time
there was a Journey.
470
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:08,670
- I ran. As did my friend Vohrahli.
- [chuckles]
471
00:27:08,753 --> 00:27:10,672
She was so fast.
472
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:12,924
Of course she won.
473
00:27:13,007 --> 00:27:15,301
- [chuckles softly]
- It was long ago.
474
00:27:15,385 --> 00:27:19,597
I am thinking about Vohrahli
and what we might look like
475
00:27:19,681 --> 00:27:22,308
if we could be wrinkled,
old elders together.
476
00:27:22,392 --> 00:27:23,643
[both laugh]
477
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,606
- You would look beautiful.
- [compeer chuckles]
478
00:27:26,813 --> 00:27:30,066
You know, you need not go
to the High Summit
479
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:31,484
to be with the gods.
480
00:27:31,568 --> 00:27:34,487
They are with us
when we do good for one another,
481
00:27:34,571 --> 00:27:36,948
when we love, when we save each other,
482
00:27:37,031 --> 00:27:38,324
as you saved me.
483
00:27:39,617 --> 00:27:41,828
You don't need to run to see them.
484
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:43,913
[chuckles softly] I know, I...
485
00:27:43,997 --> 00:27:46,374
It's something that
I've dreamed of my whole life.
486
00:27:47,876 --> 00:27:49,794
I understand then,
487
00:27:49,878 --> 00:27:51,754
and I shall pray for you.
488
00:27:58,761 --> 00:28:00,263
Everything all right?
489
00:28:01,055 --> 00:28:02,473
I think so.
490
00:28:02,557 --> 00:28:04,517
[priest] My good and blessed compeers,
491
00:28:05,518 --> 00:28:07,437
it is our great fortune to bear witness
492
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,647
to the Journey
of the Mother Compeer today.
493
00:28:10,982 --> 00:28:13,860
Legend tells us that, in ancient times,
494
00:28:13,943 --> 00:28:16,404
all of Halem'no was fertile and gentle,
495
00:28:16,487 --> 00:28:18,323
but even in such a land of plenty,
496
00:28:18,406 --> 00:28:20,533
the Halem'nites warred against each other
497
00:28:20,617 --> 00:28:21,993
and lost the favor of the gods.
498
00:28:22,785 --> 00:28:24,913
To punish us,
they brought the dust storms.
499
00:28:25,538 --> 00:28:29,125
We would have ended our days
in thirst and dust
500
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:33,087
if the Great Mother Compeer
hadn't shown the gods our true selves.
501
00:28:34,047 --> 00:28:35,924
She ventured out into the storms
502
00:28:36,007 --> 00:28:38,343
and traveled far to find water
for her children.
503
00:28:38,426 --> 00:28:40,053
As she journeyed back with it,
504
00:28:40,136 --> 00:28:42,388
her lungs filled with dust.
505
00:28:42,472 --> 00:28:44,057
Her thirst was terrible,
506
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:46,059
and yet she didn't drink a single drop.
507
00:28:46,142 --> 00:28:49,354
She reached her children
and gave them the life-giving water.
508
00:28:49,437 --> 00:28:50,480
She saved them,
509
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:52,065
then breathed her last.
510
00:28:53,107 --> 00:28:57,737
The gods were so moved by her sacrifice,
they brought back the rains.
511
00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:01,115
Today, as you journey
around the High Summit
512
00:29:01,199 --> 00:29:02,784
bearing a terrible thirst,
513
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:04,786
you, too, will endure this test.
514
00:29:04,869 --> 00:29:08,247
May you remind the gods
of the Mother Compeer,
515
00:29:08,331 --> 00:29:10,792
of her devotion, our devotion,
516
00:29:10,875 --> 00:29:12,710
and earn their merciful rain.
517
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:19,968
A courageous attempt, compeers,
but you are now disqualified.
518
00:29:21,219 --> 00:29:23,513
- Begin.
- Try not to fall behind.
519
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:25,366
- [crowd cheering]
- We have to get that clue.
520
00:29:25,390 --> 00:29:27,809
[coughing]
521
00:29:41,656 --> 00:29:43,408
[panting]
522
00:29:56,713 --> 00:29:58,339
[Burnham] Just one minute.
523
00:29:58,423 --> 00:29:59,841
I just need a minute.
524
00:29:59,924 --> 00:30:01,884
[groans]
525
00:30:01,968 --> 00:30:04,929
[Tilly whispering]
A body in motion remains in motion.
526
00:30:05,013 --> 00:30:06,681
[Burnham groans]
527
00:30:06,764 --> 00:30:09,267
They've all got to get water
at some point, right?
528
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:10,977
And we have endurance, we have...
529
00:30:11,686 --> 00:30:14,022
- Starfleet training.
- Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
530
00:30:14,105 --> 00:30:17,150
- [groans]
- Let's go. We're gonna fall behind.
531
00:30:17,233 --> 00:30:20,486
- [panting]
- A body in motion will remain in motion.
532
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,282
[both panting]
533
00:30:27,577 --> 00:30:30,079
[Tilly] Body in motion stays in motion.
534
00:30:30,163 --> 00:30:32,123
Wait, wait, what's that?
535
00:30:32,665 --> 00:30:34,625
Body at rest. [whimpers]
536
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:36,919
Look at the moss on the trees.
537
00:30:37,003 --> 00:30:38,921
Most of it's blue,
but some of it's yellow.
538
00:30:39,005 --> 00:30:41,049
That's a genetic mutation.
539
00:30:41,716 --> 00:30:43,593
If a control panel were 800 years old,
540
00:30:43,676 --> 00:30:45,928
it would leak radiation, right?
541
00:30:46,012 --> 00:30:49,682
And if it is leaking radiation,
it would be causing mutations.
542
00:30:51,142 --> 00:30:54,395
If I'm right, then this moss
would lead to a control panel.
543
00:30:54,479 --> 00:30:55,772
And if you're wrong?
544
00:30:58,066 --> 00:31:01,360
Then one of us still needs
to win this race and get that clue.
545
00:31:01,444 --> 00:31:02,445
Go.
546
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:05,114
- Really?
- Go chase your moss.
547
00:31:05,865 --> 00:31:07,492
I'm the queen of endurance.
548
00:31:08,076 --> 00:31:10,953
- Body in motion...
- Remains in motion.
549
00:31:11,037 --> 00:31:13,790
[gasping]
550
00:31:13,873 --> 00:31:15,166
I'm out.
551
00:31:16,292 --> 00:31:17,585
[grunts]
552
00:31:28,179 --> 00:31:29,222
[pants]
553
00:31:30,056 --> 00:31:32,433
[panting]
554
00:31:45,488 --> 00:31:47,824
- [sighs]
- No.
555
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:49,534
No, don't give up now, compeer.
556
00:31:49,617 --> 00:31:52,787
It's just the two of us left,
and I want some real competition.
557
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:54,539
You're a little shit, you know that?
558
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:56,249
I can't hear you. I'm too far ahead.
559
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:57,917
Don't think I'm not gonna beat you.
560
00:31:58,501 --> 00:31:59,836
Okay?
561
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:01,129
Get over here. Come here.
562
00:32:25,695 --> 00:32:27,530
[tricorder trilling]
563
00:32:35,496 --> 00:32:38,040
[Burnham] Discovery,
I've found the tower control panel.
564
00:32:38,124 --> 00:32:39,584
Scanning it now.
565
00:32:44,714 --> 00:32:48,217
[sighs]
This tech requires periodic maintenance.
566
00:32:48,301 --> 00:32:50,303
Without that,
it was bound to fail eventually.
567
00:32:50,386 --> 00:32:51,762
[Burnham] So, how do I fix it?
568
00:32:54,557 --> 00:32:57,852
Uh, you'll need to rebuild the motherboard
569
00:32:57,935 --> 00:32:59,937
without shutting it down by accident.
570
00:33:00,021 --> 00:33:02,648
No pressure. Tell me what to do.
571
00:33:02,732 --> 00:33:07,737
Uh, do you see a small red chip
on the far left-hand side?
572
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:09,488
[Burnham] Yes. I see a lot of them.
573
00:33:09,572 --> 00:33:11,490
[Adira] Sorry, in the top left corner.
574
00:33:11,574 --> 00:33:14,202
We'll start by rerouting that
to the override system.
575
00:33:17,205 --> 00:33:18,414
[Ravah] We're almost there.
576
00:33:20,791 --> 00:33:21,792
[priest] Stop.
577
00:33:23,211 --> 00:33:25,671
Near the end
of the Mother Compeer's Journey,
578
00:33:25,755 --> 00:33:27,465
the gods tempted her to drink.
579
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:30,718
So, our final two racers
must now complete the Journey
580
00:33:30,801 --> 00:33:32,220
while carrying temptation.
581
00:33:43,856 --> 00:33:45,858
[muffled cheering]
582
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:09,548
[Rava h] N o!
583
00:34:09,632 --> 00:34:10,633
[crowd murmuring]
584
00:34:15,846 --> 00:34:18,266
[priest] Spilling your water
is a disqualification, Ravah.
585
00:34:18,349 --> 00:34:21,352
Please, child, come, slake your thirst.
586
00:34:22,478 --> 00:34:25,189
A racer cannot complete the Journey
with an empty bowl.
587
00:34:25,273 --> 00:34:27,566
- It was a noble effort, Ravah.
- [cheering]
588
00:34:34,365 --> 00:34:35,366
[priest] Come, Ravah.
589
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:39,203
Come.
590
00:34:39,287 --> 00:34:40,288
Ravah.
591
00:34:44,542 --> 00:34:46,836
I thought you were gonna
give me a little competition.
592
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:48,796
It's over.
593
00:34:54,969 --> 00:34:55,970
[Tilly] Come on.
594
00:34:56,053 --> 00:34:57,513
Come on. Up.
595
00:34:58,472 --> 00:34:59,807
Come on. Up.
596
00:35:04,186 --> 00:35:06,147
Let's go meet the gods together.
597
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:08,149
[crowd cheering, applauding]
598
00:35:22,330 --> 00:35:24,330
- [device chirps]
- [Burnham] Okay, that wasn't it.
599
00:35:24,373 --> 00:35:26,083
I'm gonna try another isolinear chip.
600
00:35:27,043 --> 00:35:29,253
Sir, maybe we should get
someone with more experience
601
00:35:29,337 --> 00:35:31,047
to help support the captain.
602
00:35:31,130 --> 00:35:33,466
You're the one who wanted
to be on the bridge.
603
00:35:33,549 --> 00:35:34,675
I know, um, but...
604
00:35:34,759 --> 00:35:37,362
But nothing. I wouldn't have agreed
if I thought you couldn't handle it.
605
00:35:37,386 --> 00:35:40,186
You've been second-guessing yourself
since that time bug came on board.
606
00:35:40,723 --> 00:35:43,392
That's not on you. Understood?
607
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:47,730
[Burnham]
Got it. Okay, Ensign, what's next?
608
00:35:47,813 --> 00:35:49,106
Last step, right?
609
00:35:50,191 --> 00:35:51,192
Bring it home.
610
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:56,112
Okay.
611
00:35:56,113 --> 00:35:59,951
Uh, Captain, I need you to bypass
the auxiliary power circuit.
612
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,661
- Bypass?
- [Adira] Yank it out, Captain.
613
00:36:06,207 --> 00:36:07,375
[Burnham] Come on, come on.
614
00:36:11,629 --> 00:36:12,713
We got lights.
615
00:36:12,797 --> 00:36:13,798
[Adira] Yes.
616
00:36:14,507 --> 00:36:17,176
Okay, I will have you beaming
into the tower in no time.
617
00:36:17,259 --> 00:36:18,427
[Burnham] Nice work, Ensign.
618
00:36:20,304 --> 00:36:22,098
Tilly, we solved the interference issue.
619
00:36:22,181 --> 00:36:24,183
- Where are you now?
- [Tilly] I'm in the temple.
620
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:25,393
You won the race?
621
00:36:25,476 --> 00:36:28,187
Ravah and I tied. We're both here.
622
00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:30,606
Problem is, I don't see the clue anywhere.
623
00:36:30,689 --> 00:36:32,667
[Burnham] Well, we just got
the control panel back on line,
624
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,211
so we'll be able to transport
a team over in just a few minutes.
625
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:36,487
[priest] It is time.
626
00:36:36,570 --> 00:36:38,697
Hang on. Ohvahz is speaking.
627
00:36:48,124 --> 00:36:49,417
[Ravah] Don't be sad, Father.
628
00:36:50,292 --> 00:36:52,461
We'll speak to the gods.
We'll bring the rain.
629
00:36:52,545 --> 00:36:55,548
And we are so grateful to you both.
630
00:36:56,882 --> 00:37:01,595
Your sacrifice will bless Halem'no
for many seasons to come.
631
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:02,680
Sacrifice?
632
00:37:02,763 --> 00:37:04,056
[Ravah] Take this, Father.
633
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,642
I won't need it
to remember Mother anymore.
634
00:37:06,725 --> 00:37:08,686
Tilly, get out of there now.
635
00:37:10,062 --> 00:37:11,772
Uh, no, Ohvahz.
636
00:37:11,856 --> 00:37:14,442
Wait. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait.
637
00:37:15,818 --> 00:37:16,819
Ohvahz!
638
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:18,362
Discovery, can you beam her out?
639
00:37:18,446 --> 00:37:19,881
[Rayner] We can't get a lock, Captain.
640
00:37:19,905 --> 00:37:20,906
Ohvahz!
641
00:37:20,990 --> 00:37:23,951
[rumbling, creaking]
642
00:37:35,004 --> 00:37:36,005
[Tilly] Oh, no.
643
00:37:47,016 --> 00:37:50,036
Discovery, status report. Have you been
able to get a lock on Lieutenant Tilly?
644
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:52,813
Nothing's working, Captain.
Something's scrambling my signal.
645
00:37:52,897 --> 00:37:53,957
[Tilly] I think I know why.
646
00:37:53,981 --> 00:37:55,858
These walls are solid tritanium.
647
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:58,736
[Burnham] Which is too dense
for a transport lock. Damn it.
648
00:37:58,819 --> 00:38:00,797
If it's not one thing,
it's another with this place.
649
00:38:00,821 --> 00:38:02,781
Okay, it looks like
you're in the vacuum chamber.
650
00:38:02,865 --> 00:38:04,305
Chemicals come up that center column
651
00:38:04,366 --> 00:38:06,327
and mix with air and whatnot
from the room above
652
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:08,412
and get shot into the atmosphere
to make it rain.
653
00:38:08,496 --> 00:38:11,665
And seeing that it's a vacuum chamber,
I'm guessing that, in the process,
654
00:38:11,749 --> 00:38:13,292
it sucks all the air out of there.
655
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:16,253
Makes sense the room's made of tritanium.
If it weren't, it'd crumple.
656
00:38:16,337 --> 00:38:18,464
Oh, good. At least we won't get smooshed.
657
00:38:18,547 --> 00:38:19,924
[Ravah] Who are you speaking to?
658
00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:23,802
Oh, um, just praying to the gods.
659
00:38:23,886 --> 00:38:26,889
- That's good. They'll be pleased.
- [mechanical clicking]
660
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,110
[low click]
661
00:38:43,072 --> 00:38:44,323
[Tilly whispering] The air.
662
00:38:44,406 --> 00:38:46,450
No, we need more time. Uh...
663
00:38:46,534 --> 00:38:48,452
The gods are coming.
664
00:38:48,536 --> 00:38:51,163
They'll take our breath
and replace it with their own.
665
00:38:52,581 --> 00:38:53,916
You look frightened, compeer.
666
00:38:53,999 --> 00:38:56,585
- Are you frightened?
- No, I'm not frightened. Um...
667
00:38:57,795 --> 00:38:58,796
I'm sad.
668
00:39:01,465 --> 00:39:03,342
You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
669
00:39:03,425 --> 00:39:05,094
I'm grateful.
670
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:06,679
I'm going to see the gods.
671
00:39:07,638 --> 00:39:10,933
Come, the serenity wall is here.
672
00:39:11,016 --> 00:39:13,644
We'll pray together.
You won't be frightened anymore.
673
00:39:13,727 --> 00:39:15,604
[Burnham] Tilly, I'm coming to get you.
674
00:39:15,688 --> 00:39:17,314
Discovery, if you cannot beam her out,
675
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:19,900
beam me in, as close to
that chamber as possible.
676
00:39:19,984 --> 00:39:21,819
Okay, there's a control room
right next to it.
677
00:39:21,902 --> 00:39:24,196
Sir, I'm picking up a life sign in there.
678
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,800
[Burnham] Okay, that has to be Ohvahz.
679
00:39:26,699 --> 00:39:29,451
- We have to wait for him to leave.
- No, you beam me in now.
680
00:39:29,535 --> 00:39:32,246
[Rayner] You'd be revealing yourself
to a pre-warp civilization.
681
00:39:32,329 --> 00:39:33,330
I'm aware.
682
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,809
We're gonna have to answer
for the Prime Directive violation.
683
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:38,419
And we will. We are not
letting them die for no reason.
684
00:39:38,502 --> 00:39:40,105
If the Halem'nites
can't maintain this technology,
685
00:39:40,129 --> 00:39:41,606
they're gonna get wiped out
sooner or later.
686
00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:43,299
Either way, we have to do this.
687
00:39:43,382 --> 00:39:45,384
[Rayner] Aye, Captain. Stand by.
688
00:39:46,594 --> 00:39:48,804
[Tilly]
These symbols here, what do they mean?
689
00:39:49,305 --> 00:39:52,808
They're numbers to help us recall
the five serenity prayers.
690
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:56,103
If we say them,
we'll find peace before we pass.
691
00:39:57,438 --> 00:39:58,522
It's foretold.
692
00:39:59,148 --> 00:40:00,941
I don't see any numbers.
693
00:40:01,650 --> 00:40:03,527
I thought you were a teacher.
694
00:40:05,154 --> 00:40:06,363
I am.
695
00:40:06,447 --> 00:40:08,866
They don't teach
Ancient Halem'nese in the east?
696
00:40:09,533 --> 00:40:10,576
[exhales]
697
00:40:17,207 --> 00:40:18,208
One.
698
00:40:23,005 --> 00:40:24,006
Two.
699
00:40:31,889 --> 00:40:32,890
Three.
700
00:40:34,183 --> 00:40:35,643
We're in the third summit.
701
00:40:38,312 --> 00:40:39,396
Four.
702
00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:45,819
- Five.
- [Tilly] I've seen this symbol before.
703
00:40:45,903 --> 00:40:48,364
[Ravah] To represent each of the summits
there once were.
704
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:50,115
The gods destroyed all the others.
705
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,576
But left only ours.
706
00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:56,789
That's why we must sacrifice.
707
00:40:58,248 --> 00:41:00,793
To show them
that we are worthy of their gift.
708
00:41:11,929 --> 00:41:12,930
[crying]
709
00:41:13,931 --> 00:41:15,182
[Ravah] I'm sorry, compeer.
710
00:41:15,265 --> 00:41:16,265
Oh.
711
00:41:17,726 --> 00:41:19,144
It's okay to be scared.
712
00:41:19,228 --> 00:41:20,729
I don't want to die.
713
00:41:21,438 --> 00:41:23,982
I only took the Journey
to make my father proud, but now...
714
00:41:26,151 --> 00:41:27,152
Come here.
715
00:41:27,820 --> 00:41:29,154
Yeah, it's okay.
716
00:41:29,905 --> 00:41:31,490
It's okay. Come here.
717
00:41:33,033 --> 00:41:34,368
[Tilly shushes]
718
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:39,915
Maybe the gods will figure out
a way to spare us.
719
00:41:45,838 --> 00:41:48,674
[Ohvahz]
I've failed you, my heart's compeer.
720
00:41:51,427 --> 00:41:54,054
I wanted to forbid our child
from taking the Journey.
721
00:41:54,930 --> 00:41:56,390
But how could I?
722
00:41:57,057 --> 00:42:00,561
How could I be selfish
when all our people suffer for each other?
723
00:42:03,063 --> 00:42:06,567
What? You? How did you...
Where did you come from?
724
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:08,569
I need you to open this door.
725
00:42:08,652 --> 00:42:12,156
- You're not really here, vision.
- I am here. Listen to me.
726
00:42:12,740 --> 00:42:15,325
You have to open this door.
727
00:42:15,409 --> 00:42:17,595
- Ravah is going to see the gods.
- My friend is in there.
728
00:42:17,619 --> 00:42:19,389
- You feel grief because you're...
- She doesn't want to die.
729
00:42:19,413 --> 00:42:20,789
And she doesn't need to die.
730
00:42:20,873 --> 00:42:21,999
Ravah doesn't need to die.
731
00:42:22,082 --> 00:42:23,962
- Your people need you to be stronger.
- Ohvahz.
732
00:42:24,042 --> 00:42:27,254
We are standing inside of a machine.
This is a piece of technology.
733
00:42:29,423 --> 00:42:30,507
Technology?
734
00:42:30,591 --> 00:42:33,093
It was placed here hundreds of years ago
by an alien race.
735
00:42:33,177 --> 00:42:35,012
The sacrifices don't bring the rain.
736
00:42:35,637 --> 00:42:37,181
Okay? Technology does.
737
00:42:40,017 --> 00:42:42,895
No. No, you imagine what you wish to hear,
738
00:42:42,978 --> 00:42:44,104
but you have a duty.
739
00:42:44,688 --> 00:42:47,107
Please deliver me from...
740
00:42:48,317 --> 00:42:50,194
- Deliver me.
- [thumping]
741
00:42:50,277 --> 00:42:52,571
Tilly, are you hearing all this?
742
00:42:53,614 --> 00:42:55,282
I am.
743
00:42:55,365 --> 00:42:56,992
But we're running out of air.
744
00:42:57,075 --> 00:42:58,678
[Burnham]
I'm gonna get you out of there, okay?
745
00:42:58,702 --> 00:43:02,122
I need you to talk to Ravah
and see if they can help me reach Ohvahz.
746
00:43:02,206 --> 00:43:03,206
Ravah.
747
00:43:03,957 --> 00:43:05,167
[grunts softly]
748
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:06,794
[Tilly] Do you remember your mother?
749
00:43:06,877 --> 00:43:10,047
- [Ravah] I do.
- What do you remember about her?
750
00:43:13,008 --> 00:43:16,428
There was a song to help me sleep.
751
00:43:18,013 --> 00:43:19,973
They sang it together.
752
00:43:20,891 --> 00:43:22,559
We were once together.
753
00:43:25,270 --> 00:43:27,272
Will you teach it to me?
754
00:43:28,190 --> 00:43:30,651
I'll sing it to you while you fall asleep.
755
00:43:31,485 --> 00:43:34,446
I don't remember the words.
756
00:43:35,823 --> 00:43:37,658
Only the tune.
757
00:43:37,741 --> 00:43:39,326
Yeah, the tune's enough.
758
00:43:43,497 --> 00:43:45,624
[humming]
759
00:43:52,923 --> 00:43:54,925
[Ravah humming over comms]
760
00:44:00,681 --> 00:44:02,850
[humming]
761
00:44:04,518 --> 00:44:06,144
[Ohvahz shuddering]
762
00:44:17,823 --> 00:44:19,908
How do you know that song?
763
00:44:19,992 --> 00:44:22,160
I can hear them from the other room.
764
00:44:22,244 --> 00:44:24,746
My technology lets me do that too.
765
00:44:25,539 --> 00:44:26,623
I don't understand.
766
00:44:26,707 --> 00:44:29,751
Ravah remembers their mother
singing that song
767
00:44:29,835 --> 00:44:31,211
so many years ago.
768
00:44:31,295 --> 00:44:32,796
They are dying, Ohvahz.
769
00:44:33,672 --> 00:44:35,007
They don't want to die.
770
00:44:35,090 --> 00:44:36,133
[gasps]
771
00:44:36,842 --> 00:44:38,343
Are you a god?
772
00:44:39,469 --> 00:44:40,679
[Burnham] No, I am not.
773
00:44:40,762 --> 00:44:43,932
I am a person from really far away.
774
00:44:44,016 --> 00:44:46,393
Almost as far away
as those who put the technology here.
775
00:44:46,476 --> 00:44:47,811
And I want to help you.
776
00:44:47,895 --> 00:44:52,482
I am here to help you save
your child and my friend
777
00:44:52,566 --> 00:44:53,984
from dying a needless death.
778
00:44:55,068 --> 00:44:56,612
I don't know what to do.
779
00:44:56,695 --> 00:44:59,281
Ohvahz, I am not a god,
780
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:01,204
but I don't know,
maybe I was sent here by one.
781
00:45:01,950 --> 00:45:03,869
Hear me when I tell you,
782
00:45:03,952 --> 00:45:06,747
the rains will come
whether or not Ravah dies.
783
00:45:07,456 --> 00:45:09,082
Trust me.
784
00:45:09,166 --> 00:45:10,959
Please let them live.
785
00:45:20,761 --> 00:45:22,596
[mechanical clicking]
786
00:45:25,849 --> 00:45:27,643
[wind gusting]
787
00:45:30,729 --> 00:45:33,231
[Burnham panting]
788
00:45:33,315 --> 00:45:34,316
[Burnham] Tilly?
789
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,860
- Tilly?
- Ravah?
790
00:45:36,944 --> 00:45:38,320
They're not breathing.
791
00:45:38,403 --> 00:45:40,113
Please, Ravah. They're not breathing!
792
00:45:40,197 --> 00:45:41,531
[metallic trilling]
793
00:45:41,615 --> 00:45:44,117
[Burnham] Here. My team can save them.
794
00:45:44,618 --> 00:45:45,827
My team can save Ravah.
795
00:45:45,911 --> 00:45:48,121
They can save them.
Come on, let them work.
796
00:46:04,721 --> 00:46:05,722
[Ohvahz] This...
797
00:46:06,974 --> 00:46:08,266
This is Halem'no?
798
00:46:08,350 --> 00:46:10,435
This is what it looks like from our ship.
799
00:46:13,772 --> 00:46:18,151
It's... more beautiful
than I could have imagined.
800
00:46:42,384 --> 00:46:46,596
You said that an alien race
gave us the High Summit
801
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,473
to save us from the dust storms.
802
00:46:49,975 --> 00:46:51,143
Why?
803
00:46:51,226 --> 00:46:52,227
The Denobulans,
804
00:46:53,311 --> 00:46:56,356
they value one another greatly,
just as you do here.
805
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,277
They come from a world much like your own
with massive storms.
806
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,321
And they built weather towers
to keep them at bay.
807
00:47:04,573 --> 00:47:07,034
I suppose, in their travels,
808
00:47:07,117 --> 00:47:09,953
they felt a connection to you
and wanted to help.
809
00:47:12,164 --> 00:47:15,584
You should know that the tower, the...
810
00:47:16,877 --> 00:47:20,422
the High Summit, is failing.
811
00:47:20,505 --> 00:47:22,466
We fixed it for now,
812
00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:25,469
but it will stop working eventually
if it isn't maintained.
813
00:47:26,511 --> 00:47:27,721
We can show you how.
814
00:47:29,556 --> 00:47:32,476
Thank you, but does all this mean...
815
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:35,729
Are there no gods?
816
00:47:38,482 --> 00:47:39,483
Are there...
817
00:47:40,692 --> 00:47:41,693
What is there?
818
00:47:42,694 --> 00:47:44,780
There is still what you believe.
819
00:47:44,863 --> 00:47:47,783
Nothing we have shown you
means gods don't exist.
820
00:47:48,492 --> 00:47:51,036
Or that the Journey
of the Mother Compeer didn't happen.
821
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:55,040
It's just that now you know
that there is also us.
822
00:47:58,668 --> 00:48:00,378
[Ohvahz] What do I say to my people?
823
00:48:01,421 --> 00:48:03,256
The sacrifices unite us.
824
00:48:04,549 --> 00:48:06,676
They help us see our common purpose.
825
00:48:07,886 --> 00:48:12,015
I fear how my people will react
if we take this away so suddenly.
826
00:48:12,099 --> 00:48:14,893
In the past,
attempts to stop the sacrifices
827
00:48:14,976 --> 00:48:18,438
have been met with violence and upheaval.
828
00:48:18,522 --> 00:48:20,482
[Burnham] You are wise to consider that.
829
00:48:20,565 --> 00:48:23,276
But there are those among you
who seem ready
830
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,737
to move beyond the sacrifices.
831
00:48:25,821 --> 00:48:28,198
The woman you healed. Anorah.
832
00:48:28,990 --> 00:48:33,578
She finds order in your people's
commitment to one another.
833
00:48:33,662 --> 00:48:36,164
She told me the sacrifices
aren't necessary
834
00:48:36,248 --> 00:48:37,874
to bring one closer to the gods.
835
00:48:37,958 --> 00:48:40,418
Maybe others are ready
to understand that too.
836
00:48:41,211 --> 00:48:43,380
Beliefs can evolve.
837
00:48:43,922 --> 00:48:47,300
Denying that can cause
almost as much chaos as the worst storm.
838
00:48:50,887 --> 00:48:52,222
Ravah will wake soon.
839
00:48:52,305 --> 00:48:53,682
And given the circumstances,
840
00:48:53,765 --> 00:48:56,393
I believe they should
see their father when they do.
841
00:49:08,530 --> 00:49:10,615
- Did we do a good thing?
- Mmm.
842
00:49:10,699 --> 00:49:12,742
And you're alive.
That's a really good thing.
843
00:49:12,826 --> 00:49:14,828
You know how much paperwork
I'd have to fill out
844
00:49:14,911 --> 00:49:16,997
for losing a perfectly good
Starfleet officer?
845
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,958
In addition to the paperwork
you're already gonna have to fill out
846
00:49:20,041 --> 00:49:21,668
for breaking the Prime Directive, so...
847
00:49:21,751 --> 00:49:23,295
Oh, gosh. Okay.
848
00:49:23,879 --> 00:49:26,673
I'm about to make you
even happier that you saved me.
849
00:49:26,756 --> 00:49:28,008
Any of this look familiar?
850
00:49:28,091 --> 00:49:29,593
Perhaps you recognize this
851
00:49:29,676 --> 00:49:33,889
from a certain vial containing
a drop of pure distilled water?
852
00:49:33,972 --> 00:49:35,891
[Burnham] Yes. The scratches on the side.
853
00:49:36,474 --> 00:49:37,601
What are these?
854
00:49:37,684 --> 00:49:39,603
They're numbers in ancient Halem'nese.
855
00:49:39,686 --> 00:49:41,521
One for each of the five towers.
856
00:49:41,605 --> 00:49:43,273
We are in the third tower.
857
00:49:44,065 --> 00:49:45,192
[gasps]
858
00:49:45,275 --> 00:49:49,070
The vial had the same mark,
so the clue is in tower five.
859
00:49:49,154 --> 00:49:50,238
[laughs]
860
00:49:50,322 --> 00:49:51,323
[Ravah] Father?
861
00:49:53,283 --> 00:49:55,160
Are you with the gods as well?
862
00:49:56,328 --> 00:49:58,121
No, my child.
863
00:49:58,205 --> 00:49:59,748
We defied them?
864
00:50:00,582 --> 00:50:01,917
[Ohvahz] No.
865
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,640
- The rains won't come.
- [Ohvahz] Listen.
866
00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:06,171
Perhaps devotion means
867
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:10,592
being able to hear when the gods
tell us something new.
868
00:50:12,093 --> 00:50:14,262
I'm very proud of you, Ravah.
869
00:50:16,181 --> 00:50:19,851
You're so full of light, courage and song,
870
00:50:21,019 --> 00:50:22,646
just like your mother.
871
00:50:26,024 --> 00:50:28,568
[sighs, chuckles]
872
00:50:44,125 --> 00:50:46,753
[thunder rumbling]
873
00:50:46,836 --> 00:50:49,589
The rains. They've come.
874
00:50:49,673 --> 00:50:51,925
[rain pattering]
875
00:50:52,008 --> 00:50:53,593
[Ravah chuckling]
876
00:51:32,132 --> 00:51:34,175
- [weapons firing]
- Oh, cheeky, aren't we?
877
00:51:36,219 --> 00:51:37,804
Hmm. Watch it now.
878
00:51:41,141 --> 00:51:42,461
[Culber] Zora said you were here.
879
00:51:44,394 --> 00:51:46,313
And I see you found a distraction.
880
00:51:46,896 --> 00:51:48,356
[Book] Next best thing.
881
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,483
Why not the holodeck simulator?
882
00:51:50,567 --> 00:51:53,028
[Book]
I can always tell it's not a real ship.
883
00:51:53,111 --> 00:51:55,196
- You brought food?
- I thought you'd be hungry.
884
00:51:55,780 --> 00:51:59,075
My grandmother's
mofongo con pollo al ajillo.
885
00:51:59,159 --> 00:52:01,202
Replicator fresh. [chuckles softly]
886
00:52:06,249 --> 00:52:07,500
[Book] Ah.
887
00:52:07,584 --> 00:52:09,002
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
888
00:52:10,962 --> 00:52:12,005
[Book] Smells amazing.
889
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:19,304
Mmm. Mmm.
890
00:52:19,387 --> 00:52:20,972
[Culber] So, you asked me earlier
891
00:52:21,056 --> 00:52:24,100
if I get tired of having all the answers.
892
00:52:25,602 --> 00:52:28,063
- I meant it as a joke.
- [Culber] I know, it's just...
893
00:52:29,272 --> 00:52:31,024
I don't, is the thing.
894
00:52:33,068 --> 00:52:35,737
- What's going on?
- I'm having a, uh...
895
00:52:36,821 --> 00:52:38,531
spiritual awakening.
896
00:52:42,035 --> 00:52:44,746
Or maybe I'm just seeing a truth
I've always known, but...
897
00:52:45,955 --> 00:52:47,624
Ever since zhian'tara,
898
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,794
nothing else explains it.
899
00:52:52,712 --> 00:52:54,381
It sounds kind of wonderful.
900
00:52:58,301 --> 00:52:59,302
I told Paul.
901
00:53:01,596 --> 00:53:03,306
I don't think he really understood.
902
00:53:04,224 --> 00:53:05,809
I don't know that he ever will.
903
00:53:06,976 --> 00:53:08,061
So?
904
00:53:08,144 --> 00:53:10,313
Well, he's my partner. [chuckles]
905
00:53:11,106 --> 00:53:13,108
It's an odd quirk, really,
906
00:53:14,192 --> 00:53:17,112
this human tendency
to consider something less meaningful
907
00:53:18,446 --> 00:53:19,739
if it's just for yourself.
908
00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:25,995
I remember Michael dealing with it,
909
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:29,165
even though, deep down,
that feeling of being alone
910
00:53:29,249 --> 00:53:32,043
was the oldest and closest friend
she ever had.
911
00:53:35,547 --> 00:53:38,758
But still, you know,
it's what made me love her.
912
00:53:40,718 --> 00:53:41,886
You miss her.
913
00:53:44,389 --> 00:53:45,890
I see her every day.
914
00:53:46,683 --> 00:53:48,435
But you miss what you had.
915
00:53:50,019 --> 00:53:51,980
You think you can get it back?
916
00:53:56,317 --> 00:53:58,403
One answer at a time, Doc.
917
00:54:13,126 --> 00:54:15,128
[Burnham] Courtesy of tower number five.
918
00:54:15,211 --> 00:54:17,088
[both chuckle]
919
00:54:17,172 --> 00:54:18,756
It had a metal card attached
920
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,050
with some kind
of Betazoid text inscription.
921
00:54:21,718 --> 00:54:24,429
Stamets is analyzing it
so we can see where to go next.
922
00:54:25,054 --> 00:54:27,307
What do you think Doctor Kreel
was trying to tell us,
923
00:54:27,390 --> 00:54:29,017
hiding the clue there?
924
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,412
Well, he couldn't have known
that leaving behind a weather tower
925
00:54:31,436 --> 00:54:33,938
would lead the Halem'nites
to sacrificing one another.
926
00:54:34,022 --> 00:54:38,401
It is a massive responsibility,
technology.
927
00:54:38,485 --> 00:54:40,278
[Burnham] Maybe that's the real message.
928
00:54:41,613 --> 00:54:43,781
When we find the Progenitors' creation...
929
00:54:46,326 --> 00:54:48,036
we need to be so careful.
930
00:54:50,997 --> 00:54:52,165
[comms chime]
931
00:54:52,248 --> 00:54:53,875
[Christopher] Excuse me, Captain?
932
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:55,668
Go ahead, Lieutenant Christopher.
933
00:54:55,752 --> 00:54:57,420
We just got a message from Fed HQ.
934
00:54:57,504 --> 00:54:59,631
The USS Locherer
just found Moll and L'ak.
935
00:54:59,714 --> 00:55:02,967
Admiral Vance requests that
we jump to their location immediately.
936
00:55:03,051 --> 00:55:05,011
Okay, lock in coordinates.
937
00:55:06,137 --> 00:55:07,897
- Let's not make them wait.
- [Tilly] Mm-mmm.
938
00:55:22,278 --> 00:55:25,448
[Halem'nites whistling]
939
00:56:32,265 --> 00:56:33,266
- English (US)
- SDH
