_
21
00:01:27,989 --> 00:01:31,926
"We come in peace."
22
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,460
We come in peace...
that's why we're here.
23
00:01:39,485 --> 00:01:41,260
Isn't that the whole idea of Starfleet?
24
00:01:41,285 --> 00:01:43,340
Hey, I taught you that.
25
00:01:43,365 --> 00:01:44,605
You don't trust me, Captain?
26
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:46,605
I trust you with my life,
Commander Burnham,
27
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:49,380
but it doesn't change the
fact that you're lost.
28
00:01:49,865 --> 00:01:51,825
Very lost.
29
00:01:52,356 --> 00:01:54,315
Technically, we would be lost.
30
00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:56,259
How long until that storm
31
00:01:56,260 --> 00:01:58,049
comes crashing down on us?
32
00:01:58,050 --> 00:01:59,419
I estimate one hour,
33
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:01,605
17 minutes, 22 seconds.
34
00:02:01,630 --> 00:02:04,852
Which is why I've made
sure we're not lost.
35
00:02:05,246 --> 00:02:08,246
The map says the well
is this way, Captain.
36
00:02:11,028 --> 00:02:13,651
This drought's
going to last 89 years.
37
00:02:13,676 --> 00:02:16,879
The Crepusculans are facing
extinction as a species.
38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,330
See those egg sacs?
39
00:02:18,355 --> 00:02:20,371
Those are their offspring.
40
00:02:20,426 --> 00:02:23,886
They've survived here for
over a thousand years, Michael.
41
00:02:23,911 --> 00:02:26,031
Right, and if we don't do something now,
42
00:02:26,056 --> 00:02:27,605
they won't live another thousand hours.
43
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:28,794
The ambient radiation
44
00:02:28,819 --> 00:02:31,698
from a nearby drilling accident
dried out their water table.
45
00:02:31,723 --> 00:02:33,955
If we can get in and out
without making contact,
46
00:02:33,964 --> 00:02:36,093
we can steer clear of General Order One.
47
00:02:36,094 --> 00:02:38,570
And there is the well.
48
00:02:38,595 --> 00:02:40,595
I stand corrected.
49
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,451
Ye of little faith.
50
00:02:42,476 --> 00:02:44,229
Oh, never had a doubt.
51
00:02:44,254 --> 00:02:47,439
Tell me what I need to break
through this bedrock.
52
00:02:47,464 --> 00:02:51,003
.7-second field burst
at level setting 13.5.
53
00:03:18,956 --> 00:03:20,836
Georgiou to Shenzhou.
54
00:03:20,861 --> 00:03:22,356
Two to transport.
55
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:28,561
The storm is moving
faster than I thought.
56
00:03:28,586 --> 00:03:30,626
The ship won't be able to
pick up our signatures.
57
00:03:30,651 --> 00:03:32,861
Unless we can contact Lieutenant Saru,
58
00:03:32,886 --> 00:03:35,006
we could be trapped
here until it's over.
59
00:03:35,122 --> 00:03:36,985
Let's take a walk.
60
00:04:08,932 --> 00:04:12,147
Follow my footsteps,
Michael, even lines.
61
00:04:12,172 --> 00:04:14,082
Why? Captain, where are we going?
62
00:04:14,107 --> 00:04:15,996
It's your turn to trust me, Number One.
63
00:04:16,021 --> 00:04:17,769
But now we're really lost.
64
00:04:17,794 --> 00:04:20,808
We're far too small to be
seen with the naked eye.
65
00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:23,076
And you can't set a
course without a star.
66
00:04:23,101 --> 00:04:24,552
Is it wise to be heading
67
00:04:24,577 --> 00:04:27,552
- away from the village?
- It's hard to imagine
68
00:04:27,577 --> 00:04:30,216
you've served under me for seven years.
69
00:04:30,241 --> 00:04:32,161
I think it's time
70
00:04:32,186 --> 00:04:35,136
that we talked about you
having your own command.
71
00:04:38,115 --> 00:04:40,065
I'm grateful, Captain.
72
00:04:41,775 --> 00:04:44,065
Though I would be significantly more so
73
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:46,945
if I thought we had any chance
of ever returning to the ship.
74
00:04:47,338 --> 00:04:49,548
Just keep walking, Michael.
75
00:04:49,573 --> 00:04:50,854
What will you do
76
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,932
if you were stuck here for 89 years?
77
00:04:53,138 --> 00:04:54,598
A likely scenario...
78
00:04:54,623 --> 00:04:56,200
unless we die here in the desert.
79
00:04:56,225 --> 00:04:58,520
But say you lived.
80
00:04:58,545 --> 00:05:00,950
As a xenoanthropologist,
I could reveal myself
81
00:05:00,975 --> 00:05:03,015
to the natives, learn their culture,
82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,319
try to fit in... if possible.
83
00:05:05,344 --> 00:05:07,184
And you, Captain?
84
00:05:07,209 --> 00:05:09,499
What will you do if we're
trapped here for 89 years?
85
00:05:09,524 --> 00:05:12,069
That's easy. I'd escape.
86
00:05:12,435 --> 00:05:14,275
These are our footprints.
87
00:05:14,587 --> 00:05:16,537
You've walked us in a circle.
88
00:05:16,562 --> 00:05:18,918
Not exactly a circle.
89
00:05:38,208 --> 00:05:40,446
How did they find us?
90
00:05:40,471 --> 00:05:42,721
I set a star.

First Officer's
Log, Stardate 1207.3.
93
00:07:45,324 --> 00:07:48,244
On Earth, it's May 11, 2256,
94
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,570
a Sunday.
95
00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:52,860
The crew of the U.S.S. Shenzhou
96
00:07:52,885 --> 00:07:54,739
has been called to the
edge of Federation space
97
00:07:54,764 --> 00:07:58,418
to investigate damage done to
one of our interstellar relays.
98
00:07:58,571 --> 00:08:01,020
Blast burns around the
hole are inconclusive.
99
00:08:01,373 --> 00:08:03,293
Were they caused by an asteroid,
100
00:08:03,318 --> 00:08:04,898
or was it deliberately destroyed
101
00:08:04,923 --> 00:08:07,173
to limit Starfleet communications?
102
00:08:07,198 --> 00:08:09,198
And if so, by whom?
103
00:08:09,971 --> 00:08:11,851
Despite the risks of our mission,
104
00:08:11,876 --> 00:08:13,766
I remain optimistic.
105
00:08:13,791 --> 00:08:17,581
It's hard not to be in the
face of such beauty...
106
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:20,546
in this case, a binary star system.
107
00:08:20,571 --> 00:08:22,281
Around these two suns,
108
00:08:22,306 --> 00:08:24,665
ice, dust and gasses collide
109
00:08:24,690 --> 00:08:28,003
to form the planets future
generations will call home.
110
00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:30,183
A humbling reminder that all life
111
00:08:30,208 --> 00:08:32,956
is born from chaos and destruction.
112
00:08:32,981 --> 00:08:34,340
Based on initial readings,
113
00:08:34,365 --> 00:08:35,965
I would say the relay doesn't appear
114
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:37,570
to have been damaged naturally.
115
00:08:37,644 --> 00:08:39,734
I don't like the look of that.
116
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,089
Well, keep looking.
117
00:08:41,114 --> 00:08:42,634
Well, the comment was figurative;
118
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:44,119
I'm expressing concern.
119
00:08:44,144 --> 00:08:46,644
Finish your scans so you
can express facts instead.
120
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,970
The bridge is yours, Mr. Saru.
121
00:08:48,995 --> 00:08:50,388
Yes...
122
00:08:50,413 --> 00:08:51,793
Commander.
123
00:08:53,391 --> 00:08:55,061
Yes, Number One.
124
00:08:55,086 --> 00:08:57,245
Your chief science officer is worried.
125
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:59,159
Something took a bite out of our relay.
126
00:08:59,184 --> 00:09:00,814
Saru thinks it was malicious.
127
00:09:00,846 --> 00:09:03,846
Saru's Kelpien... he thinks
everything's malicious.
128
00:09:03,954 --> 00:09:05,534
What do you think?
129
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,023
Any idea what it is?
130
00:09:07,048 --> 00:09:09,570
By all indications, nothing intelligent.
131
00:09:09,595 --> 00:09:11,005
But...?
132
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:14,080
Starfleet's reputation for
tech hygiene is exemplary.
133
00:09:14,105 --> 00:09:15,435
When a relay goes down,
134
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:17,825
the Federation sends a ship to fix it.
135
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:20,110
You think someone's trying
to get our attention?
136
00:09:20,135 --> 00:09:23,135
If they are, they have.
137
00:09:24,696 --> 00:09:26,986
Lieutenant Saru, what do we have?
138
00:09:27,011 --> 00:09:29,971
Ah. I have taken the
initiative of keeping us
139
00:09:29,996 --> 00:09:31,666
at maximum scanning distance
140
00:09:31,691 --> 00:09:33,259
in case of anything threatening
out there, Captain.
141
00:09:33,284 --> 00:09:35,800
Yes. Number One tells me
you suspect foul play.
142
00:09:36,119 --> 00:09:38,078
Despite the first
officer's constant need
143
00:09:38,103 --> 00:09:39,976
to dismiss my ideas...
144
00:09:40,001 --> 00:09:41,744
She apparently agrees with you.
145
00:09:41,769 --> 00:09:42,913
Really?
146
00:09:42,913 --> 00:09:44,084
I'm shocked as well.
147
00:09:44,109 --> 00:09:45,474
Ensign Connor,
148
00:09:45,499 --> 00:09:47,459
agreement between my senior officers.
149
00:09:47,489 --> 00:09:48,795
Note the date and time.
150
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:49,820
Noted, Captain.
151
00:09:49,859 --> 00:09:51,225
Is this amount of sarcasm
152
00:09:51,250 --> 00:09:52,464
always necessary?
153
00:09:52,489 --> 00:09:53,779
Necessary? No.
154
00:09:53,804 --> 00:09:55,599
But I do like it.
155
00:09:55,663 --> 00:09:57,334
There is something else out there.
156
00:09:57,359 --> 00:09:58,858
What do you have, Saru?
157
00:09:58,859 --> 00:10:00,109
Recalibrating sensors.
158
00:10:00,134 --> 00:10:01,884
Electronic alignment in process.
159
00:10:03,874 --> 00:10:05,192
Active scans are being deflected.
160
00:10:05,217 --> 00:10:06,605
I'm having trouble locating the source.
161
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:08,061
So something's out there,
162
00:10:08,086 --> 00:10:10,336
but no one can tell me
where or what it is.
163
00:10:10,361 --> 00:10:11,881
Ah, wait.
164
00:10:11,906 --> 00:10:12,986
I have it.
165
00:10:14,857 --> 00:10:16,067
No. Recalibrating.
166
00:10:16,092 --> 00:10:17,972
Any time now, Mr. Saru.
167
00:10:17,997 --> 00:10:20,077
I have it.
168
00:10:20,170 --> 00:10:22,170
Magnify.
169
00:10:22,195 --> 00:10:24,365
Is that what damaged our relay?
170
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,220
What am I looking at?
171
00:10:27,231 --> 00:10:29,521
Object of unknown origin.
172
00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:31,350
Let's get more specific.
173
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:33,100
I'm unable to bring it into focus.
174
00:10:33,124 --> 00:10:34,460
Number One?
175
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:37,523
Range is 2,000 kilometers.
176
00:10:37,548 --> 00:10:39,138
Bearing 358 mark 269.
177
00:10:39,376 --> 00:10:42,833
Roughly 150 meters long, tucked
into that accretion disk.
178
00:10:42,858 --> 00:10:44,201
Almost directly below us.
179
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:46,316
It's in a sensor dead zone.
180
00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:48,982
Some kind of scattering field is
confounding the ship's ability
181
00:10:49,007 --> 00:10:50,418
to translate the image.
182
00:10:50,443 --> 00:10:52,320
As science officer,
183
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:55,991
I can provide a far more
concrete and in-depth analysis
184
00:10:56,048 --> 00:10:58,361
than simply reading data off a monitor.
185
00:10:58,386 --> 00:11:02,394
But considering it's scrambling
our optical processors,
186
00:11:02,419 --> 00:11:04,769
how are we going to be able to see it?
187
00:11:08,666 --> 00:11:10,666
Thoughts, Number One?
188
00:11:11,221 --> 00:11:14,891
With such little data, I'd
prefer not to speculate.
189
00:11:14,916 --> 00:11:17,416
Oh, I will. It's lurking.
190
00:11:17,508 --> 00:11:19,626
The scattering field it's
emitting suggests intent.
191
00:11:19,651 --> 00:11:21,216
We see something we don't understand
192
00:11:21,241 --> 00:11:22,454
and instantly cast judgment?
193
00:11:22,479 --> 00:11:23,805
Maybe it's lost.
194
00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:25,876
Maybe it's afraid to
show us its whole self.
195
00:11:25,901 --> 00:11:29,191
Hiding, but maybe hoping to be found.
196
00:11:30,443 --> 00:11:32,943
Here we are, speculating.
197
00:11:32,968 --> 00:11:37,858
I respectfully recommend
we leave it alone.
198
00:11:37,883 --> 00:11:40,133
I'm not sure
we have much choice.
199
00:11:40,158 --> 00:11:42,982
We can't lock on to it, and
we don't have a shuttle
200
00:11:43,007 --> 00:11:45,023
maneuverable enough
to navigate the ring.
201
00:11:45,048 --> 00:11:46,795
I'll go.
202
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:48,584
All I need is a thruster pack.
203
00:11:48,609 --> 00:11:50,439
With the high levels of radiation
204
00:11:50,464 --> 00:11:52,534
kicking off those binaries,
she'll have 20 minutes
205
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,269
until her DNA starts to
unravel like noodles.
206
00:11:55,294 --> 00:11:56,464
Like noodles?
207
00:11:56,513 --> 00:11:58,987
I'll be back in 19. A flyby.
208
00:11:58,987 --> 00:12:00,237
It seems a waste of the ship's
209
00:12:00,262 --> 00:12:01,338
resources. What will be gained?
210
00:12:01,363 --> 00:12:02,791
You do understand that being afraid
211
00:12:02,816 --> 00:12:05,120
of everything means you learn nothing.
212
00:12:05,145 --> 00:12:07,445
There's no opportunity to discover,
213
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:09,220
- to explore.
- And here I thought
214
00:12:09,297 --> 00:12:11,448
we were doing a deep-space
communication relay audit.
215
00:12:11,473 --> 00:12:13,213
You're both right.
216
00:12:13,247 --> 00:12:14,541
Saru, go with her.
217
00:12:14,566 --> 00:12:15,629
- Captain!
- Captain!
218
00:12:15,654 --> 00:12:16,651
Best to keep variables
219
00:12:16,676 --> 00:12:17,737
to a minimum. I wouldn't want
220
00:12:17,762 --> 00:12:18,994
to put my colleague at risk.
221
00:12:19,026 --> 00:12:20,815
And you, Mr. Saru, are you equally
222
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,551
happy not to be put at risk?
223
00:12:22,576 --> 00:12:24,576
Oh, on any occasion, Captain.
224
00:12:26,481 --> 00:12:27,581
You realize,
225
00:12:28,052 --> 00:12:30,603
once you reach that scattering field,
226
00:12:30,628 --> 00:12:32,758
you could be cut off
from all communication.
227
00:12:32,783 --> 00:12:34,993
We've come all this way, Captain.
228
00:12:35,018 --> 00:12:37,610
It would be... irresponsible
229
00:12:37,635 --> 00:12:39,675
to leave whatever that is unknown.
230
00:12:39,752 --> 00:12:41,771
Just a flyby.
231
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,170
Just a flyby.
232
00:12:45,195 --> 00:12:47,477
Commencing airlock
233
00:12:47,502 --> 00:12:49,345
depressurization sequence.
234
00:12:51,555 --> 00:12:54,251
Commander Burnham,
this is Ensign Danby Connor.
235
00:12:54,276 --> 00:12:56,675
On behalf of Captain
Georgiou and the entire crew
236
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:57,715
of the U.S.S. Shenzhou,
237
00:12:57,715 --> 00:12:59,625
we'd like to welcome you to flight 819
238
00:12:59,650 --> 00:13:02,350
with non-stop service to the
"object of unknown origin."
239
00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:05,578
The temperature outside is a
brisk minus-260 degrees Celsius.
240
00:13:05,603 --> 00:13:07,273
We are forecasting some mild debris,
241
00:13:07,298 --> 00:13:08,708
but anticipate a smooth ride.
242
00:13:16,989 --> 00:13:18,929
This is Commander Burnham.
243
00:13:18,954 --> 00:13:20,534
Commencing reconnaissance mission
244
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,559
to field void and unknown object.
245
00:13:22,584 --> 00:13:24,871
Data collection is on and nominal.
246
00:13:24,896 --> 00:13:26,831
All lights are green.
247
00:13:26,856 --> 00:13:28,847
Establishing
interlink frequency
248
00:13:28,872 --> 00:13:30,159
with Commander Burnham's EV.
249
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:31,239
Channel clear...
250
00:13:31,264 --> 00:13:32,974
and ready to transmit.
251
00:13:32,999 --> 00:13:35,137
Confirming six-second
directional thrust
252
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:37,325
for saucer realignment.
253
00:13:38,207 --> 00:13:40,587
Commencing final
prelaunch system checks.
254
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:42,232
Life support: Nominal.
255
00:13:42,257 --> 00:13:44,927
Oxygen-nitrogen saturation: Nominal.
256
00:13:44,952 --> 00:13:47,267
Air pressure and flow: Nominal.
257
00:13:47,292 --> 00:13:49,233
Communication module: Active.
258
00:13:54,830 --> 00:13:58,431
Filters at 0.01% saturation.
259
00:14:02,587 --> 00:14:04,587
Preflight checklist complete.
260
00:14:07,216 --> 00:14:10,519
The object is 2,000 kilometers...
261
00:14:13,029 --> 00:14:15,950
Computer, enable igniter.
262
00:14:15,975 --> 00:14:18,197
Ten seconds
to thruster ignition.
263
00:14:18,222 --> 00:14:21,222
Ten, nine, eight,
264
00:14:21,247 --> 00:14:24,205
seven, six, five,
265
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:29,218
four, three, two, one.
266
00:14:47,658 --> 00:14:49,194
Body scan on line, heart rate
267
00:14:49,195 --> 00:14:51,626
79 and rising, BP 130/70.
268
00:14:51,651 --> 00:14:53,031
That's a little elevated for her.
269
00:14:53,056 --> 00:14:54,386
She's having fun.
270
00:14:54,411 --> 00:14:56,161
Almost to the
debris field, Captain.
271
00:14:56,186 --> 00:14:57,776
Understood.
272
00:14:57,850 --> 00:14:59,996
Michael, watch your time.
273
00:15:00,021 --> 00:15:02,053
19 minutes, not a nanosecond longer.
274
00:15:02,078 --> 00:15:03,764
Aye, Captain.
275
00:15:03,789 --> 00:15:05,249
I'm fully aware.
276
00:15:05,334 --> 00:15:06,544
Boost signal.
277
00:15:06,569 --> 00:15:08,942
Unable to comply. Scattering field.
278
00:15:08,967 --> 00:15:10,290
It must be interfering with comms.
279
00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:11,606
Mission clock at 17 minutes,
280
00:15:11,631 --> 00:15:12,473
30 seconds.
281
00:15:12,498 --> 00:15:13,498
Interference is starting
282
00:15:13,523 --> 00:15:14,643
to degrade resolution.
283
00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:15,770
Routing additional power
284
00:15:15,795 --> 00:15:16,965
to subspace antenna.
285
00:15:24,393 --> 00:15:25,824
Shenzhou, do you copy?
286
00:15:25,849 --> 00:15:27,568
Distance to object
1,000 kilometers and closing.
287
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,006
Shenzhou, do you copy?
288
00:15:29,006 --> 00:15:31,278
Implementing automatic
course correction.
289
00:15:47,064 --> 00:15:48,487
Hello.
290
00:15:50,209 --> 00:15:51,909
Shenzhou, are you able to see this?
291
00:15:53,549 --> 00:15:55,799
Michael, can you hear me? Acknowledge.
292
00:15:56,533 --> 00:15:59,165
Michael? Can you hear me?
293
00:15:59,190 --> 00:15:59,950
Acknowledge.
294
00:15:59,975 --> 00:16:01,058
There's just
too much interference.
295
00:16:01,307 --> 00:16:03,218
Shenzhou, do you copy?
296
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:07,179
Data Collection Unit, are you there?
297
00:16:07,203 --> 00:16:08,953
Internal computer on line.
298
00:16:08,978 --> 00:16:11,483
Good. Mission time?
299
00:16:11,508 --> 00:16:13,438
12 minutes, 58 seconds.
300
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:17,417
Plenty of time to take a peek.
301
00:16:17,638 --> 00:16:20,860
Even from this distance,
it's clearly not debris.
302
00:16:21,336 --> 00:16:24,616
12 minutes and 48 seconds
until maximum radiation exposure.
303
00:16:24,641 --> 00:16:26,414
The commander is less than ten
meters from the outermost
304
00:16:26,439 --> 00:16:28,079
edge of the scattering field.
305
00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:30,817
I can't remember who said sculptures are
306
00:16:30,842 --> 00:16:33,132
crystallized spirituality.
307
00:16:33,157 --> 00:16:34,505
Headlamp.
308
00:16:34,904 --> 00:16:35,994
But I see what they meant.
309
00:16:36,019 --> 00:16:37,979
This is Burnham in the blind.
310
00:16:38,004 --> 00:16:40,044
I'm above the object, which is old.
311
00:16:40,413 --> 00:16:42,613
Centuries old.
312
00:16:42,638 --> 00:16:46,650
It's difficult to tell if it
was constructed or carved.
313
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:50,197
The only word to effectively
describe it is...
314
00:16:51,239 --> 00:16:52,722
wow.
315
00:16:54,202 --> 00:16:56,391
But I'll try to be more precise.
316
00:16:56,391 --> 00:16:58,406
Its surface has the appearance of stone
317
00:16:58,431 --> 00:17:01,221
with an exoskeleton of metal alloy.
318
00:17:03,886 --> 00:17:05,886
Incredibly intricate.
319
00:17:05,911 --> 00:17:09,202
The construction and design are
nothing short of astounding.
320
00:17:10,331 --> 00:17:12,062
I wish you could see what I'm seeing.
321
00:17:12,546 --> 00:17:14,265
It is sublime.
322
00:17:18,114 --> 00:17:21,355
It's impossible to discern
a practical purpose.
323
00:17:21,982 --> 00:17:24,929
Going to land on it, get a closer look.
324
00:17:28,065 --> 00:17:29,536
Nice and easy.
325
00:17:33,642 --> 00:17:34,817
Hold on.
326
00:17:34,817 --> 00:17:38,027
My presence has triggered
some sort of motion response.
327
00:17:50,969 --> 00:17:55,563
Mission countdown:
10 minutes, 15 seconds.
328
00:17:57,493 --> 00:18:00,842
Warning. Proximity alert.
329
00:18:10,603 --> 00:18:13,080
Scanning for database recognition.
330
00:18:13,105 --> 00:18:16,501
Klingon.
331
00:18:17,527 --> 00:18:19,974
I'm Commander Burnham
332
00:18:20,378 --> 00:18:22,008
of the United Federation of....
333
00:18:33,763 --> 00:18:35,593
Still no sign
of Commander Burnham.
334
00:18:35,851 --> 00:18:36,710
Mission clock
335
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:38,130
runs out in 15 seconds.
336
00:18:38,289 --> 00:18:40,498
There's still too much interference.
337
00:18:40,499 --> 00:18:41,510
Initiating...
338
00:18:41,535 --> 00:18:43,695
I have Number One.
339
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,643
Telemetry only.
340
00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:45,956
Blood pressure is 70 and falling.
341
00:18:45,981 --> 00:18:46,959
She won't make it unless
we get her back now.
342
00:18:46,984 --> 00:18:48,154
Transporter Control.
343
00:18:48,179 --> 00:18:49,393
Do we have her, Mr. Weeton?
344
00:18:49,418 --> 00:18:50,736
Pattern integrity's too weak, Captain.
345
00:18:50,761 --> 00:18:52,631
Saru, get a lock on her.
Boost her signal.
346
00:18:52,656 --> 00:18:54,706
Captain, there is no signal.
347
00:18:54,731 --> 00:18:56,247
You better get me a signal.
348
00:18:57,006 --> 00:18:58,876
Remotely fire her jetpack.
349
00:18:58,901 --> 00:18:59,991
She's off line.
350
00:18:59,991 --> 00:19:00,815
She's floating free.
351
00:19:00,815 --> 00:19:02,028
Engineering. Tractor beam?
352
00:19:02,028 --> 00:19:04,158
Can't get a lock. We're
running manual calculations.
353
00:19:04,183 --> 00:19:06,473
The scattering field is
still a problem, Captain.
354
00:19:06,498 --> 00:19:08,598
We can't transport her
until she clears it.
355
00:19:08,623 --> 00:19:10,011
She'll soon exhibit symptoms
356
00:19:10,011 --> 00:19:11,646
of acute radiation syndrome.
357
00:19:11,670 --> 00:19:13,464
She's not gonna
last much longer.
358
00:19:14,357 --> 00:19:15,708
Hang on.
359
00:19:19,232 --> 00:19:22,324
Shenzhou, please respond.
360
00:19:22,802 --> 00:19:25,195
Commander Burnham?
361
00:19:25,195 --> 00:19:26,783
Commander, please respond.
362
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:29,154
Control to Commander Burnham.
363
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,127
Commander, do you read?
364
00:19:31,152 --> 00:19:32,241
Please respond.
365
00:19:41,381 --> 00:19:43,779
_
366
00:19:43,804 --> 00:19:46,661
_
367
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,686
_
368
00:19:48,711 --> 00:19:52,255

Pupil Burnham.
384

Pupil Burnham.
385
00:21:38,518 --> 00:21:40,687
14 solar years.
386
00:21:45,376 --> 00:21:47,943
Klingon
social order rests upon?
387
00:21:47,943 --> 00:21:50,066
Inviolable honor/shame dynamic.
388
00:21:50,091 --> 00:21:52,637
Correct. Klingon homeworld Qo'noS.
389
00:21:52,637 --> 00:21:54,207
Unwelcoming to the Federation.
390
00:21:54,207 --> 00:21:56,763
Correct. Klingon political order.
391
00:21:56,788 --> 00:21:58,093
24 great houses.
392
00:21:58,118 --> 00:22:02,578
Correct. Location of the most
recent Klingon terror raid.
393

Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
394

Number of survivors at the
Human-Vulcan science outpost
395

at Doctari Alpha.
396

Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
397
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:21,087
Number of survivors at Doctari Alpha.
398
00:22:21,112 --> 00:22:22,166
No.
399
00:22:22,191 --> 00:22:23,659
Unacceptable response.
400
00:22:23,684 --> 00:22:25,468
- Number of survivors...
- Please.
401
00:22:28,271 --> 00:22:29,981
Stop!
402
00:22:30,006 --> 00:22:32,506
Program paused.
403
00:22:36,876 --> 00:22:37,820
Sarek.
404
00:22:38,683 --> 00:22:39,853
I'm sorry.
405
00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:41,542
I can do better.
406
00:22:41,567 --> 00:22:44,323
When emotion brings us
ghosts from the past,
407
00:22:44,348 --> 00:22:47,119
only logic can root us in the present.
408
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,159
Maybe I can try to learn Vulcan.
409
00:22:49,183 --> 00:22:51,515
To be quicker with my answers.
410
00:22:51,540 --> 00:22:54,120
Your human tongue is not the problem.
411
00:22:54,145 --> 00:22:56,196
It is your human heart.
412
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,484
Good. You're awake.
413
00:23:09,956 --> 00:23:11,269
I was dreaming.
414
00:23:11,904 --> 00:23:13,409
Oh? What about?
415
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:16,081
Klingons.
416
00:23:16,106 --> 00:23:17,971
How did I get here?
417
00:23:18,768 --> 00:23:21,509
We transported you back
aboard three hours ago.
418
00:23:22,474 --> 00:23:23,478
Three hours?
419
00:23:23,503 --> 00:23:26,150
Antiproton therapy
regimen incomplete.
420
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:28,297
- Commander, what are you doing?
- Session terminated prematurely.
421
00:23:28,297 --> 00:23:29,927
- Medical Emergency
- There's no time.
422
00:23:29,952 --> 00:23:32,343
Commander, wait. The
recombination process
423
00:23:32,368 --> 00:23:33,628
is nowhere near finished.
424
00:23:33,653 --> 00:23:35,711
I need you back in the
antiproton chamber.
425
00:23:35,736 --> 00:23:38,316
Do you understand the effect
of genetic unspooling?
426
00:23:38,341 --> 00:23:39,711
You don't want to die that way.
427
00:23:39,736 --> 00:23:41,131
Commander!
428
00:23:41,156 --> 00:23:42,717
The binaries are kicking off
429
00:23:42,742 --> 00:23:44,566
serious QEs up and down the spectrum.
430
00:23:44,591 --> 00:23:45,891
Targeting gets hot, but I still
431
00:23:45,916 --> 00:23:47,286
can't tell what I'm grabbing onto.
432
00:23:47,311 --> 00:23:49,003
I want to know what's out there, people.
433
00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:50,832
Okay, let's go around the
horn again, by the numbers.
434
00:23:50,862 --> 00:23:52,069
What's going on?
435
00:23:53,418 --> 00:23:55,802
Number One, you should be in sickbay.
436
00:23:55,827 --> 00:23:57,367
What...
437
00:23:57,546 --> 00:23:58,833
Have they made contact?
438
00:23:59,046 --> 00:23:59,999
Who's "they"?
439
00:23:59,999 --> 00:24:01,079
There are Klingons out there.
440
00:24:01,104 --> 00:24:02,394
We need to go to red alert.
441
00:24:02,419 --> 00:24:03,538
Michael.
442
00:24:05,724 --> 00:24:08,984
Almost no one has seen a
Klingon in a hundred years.
443
00:24:09,009 --> 00:24:11,431
I have. One attacked me on that object.
444
00:24:11,502 --> 00:24:12,582
Check my helmet cam.
445
00:24:12,607 --> 00:24:13,997
The footage was corrupted.
446
00:24:14,022 --> 00:24:16,175
Internal sensors show that the
commander has entered the bridge
447
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,490
in an irradiated state.
448
00:24:17,515 --> 00:24:18,792
Without immediate treatment,
449
00:24:18,817 --> 00:24:20,823
her condition will most
certainly be terminal.
450
00:24:20,848 --> 00:24:23,028
He was warrior caste.
451
00:24:23,053 --> 00:24:25,911
His-his EV suit bore a
Klingon house insignia.
452
00:24:25,936 --> 00:24:27,613
She also has a grade-three concussion.
453
00:24:27,638 --> 00:24:28,826
I'm not delusional.
454
00:24:28,851 --> 00:24:30,493
This has nothing to
do with a concussion.
455
00:24:30,826 --> 00:24:31,934
Philippa...
456
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,986
there are Klingons.
457
00:24:40,302 --> 00:24:41,559
Red alert.
458
00:24:46,329 --> 00:24:47,430
Tell me what happened.
459
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:48,816
He ambushed me.
460
00:24:49,147 --> 00:24:51,086
I hit my thruster pack to get away.
461
00:24:51,111 --> 00:24:53,018
I somehow knocked him into his blade.
462
00:24:53,815 --> 00:24:55,146
I killed him.
463
00:24:56,953 --> 00:24:59,304
But that object could be hiding
a Klingon raiding party,
464
00:24:59,304 --> 00:25:01,054
obscured behind that scattering field.
465
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,955
If there are
Klingons in this sector,
466
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:05,873
they may be responsible for
the damage to our relay.
467
00:25:06,103 --> 00:25:08,063
If there are Klingons in this sector,
468
00:25:08,063 --> 00:25:10,055
we should withdraw immediately.
469
00:25:10,095 --> 00:25:11,565
This is Federation space.
470
00:25:11,958 --> 00:25:13,630
Retreat is not an option.
471
00:25:15,268 --> 00:25:16,561
Whatever is over there
472
00:25:16,561 --> 00:25:17,935
needs to show itself.
473
00:25:18,173 --> 00:25:21,326
If it's hiding Klingons,
we've got to flush them out.
474
00:25:21,627 --> 00:25:24,558
Target phase cannons on the object.
475
00:25:26,493 --> 00:25:30,078
We cannot destroy another
culture's property on a whim.
476
00:25:30,103 --> 00:25:31,773
I didn't say anything
about destroying it.
477
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:34,168
Let's make them think
we're going to attack.
478
00:25:34,193 --> 00:25:35,779
Target the object.
479
00:25:36,484 --> 00:25:38,142
We're locked on.
480
00:25:38,854 --> 00:25:40,353
Something is scanning us.
481
00:25:40,378 --> 00:25:42,629
They've detected our weapons signature.
482
00:25:43,343 --> 00:25:44,563
Wait.
483
00:25:58,140 --> 00:25:59,756
Impossible.
484
00:25:59,756 --> 00:26:01,796
No warp signatures
detected, Captain.
485
00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:04,097
Then where did they come from?
486
00:26:04,167 --> 00:26:07,349
Mr. Gant, disengage
phase-cannon targeting.
487
00:26:08,585 --> 00:26:10,260
Number One, get to sickbay.
488
00:26:10,285 --> 00:26:12,905
I need you fixed up and
back on the bridge, stat.
489
00:26:13,024 --> 00:26:15,893
Mr. Januzzi, contact Starfleet Command.
490
00:26:15,893 --> 00:26:17,603
Send an encoded message.
491
00:26:17,628 --> 00:26:21,600
Tell them we have engaged the Klingons.
492
00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:28,990
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
493
00:26:29,015 --> 00:26:30,435
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.
494
00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:31,971
Please respond.
495
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:35,390

You're transmitting on every
subspace channel there is.

Your orders, Commander?

00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,234
Commander, there is something
563
00:30:19,259 --> 00:30:20,799
I'd like to show you.
564
00:30:23,291 --> 00:30:27,541
Their hull is covered in hollow,
ornamental, metallic pods,
565
00:30:27,565 --> 00:30:29,356
thousands of them, tightly interlocked,
566
00:30:29,709 --> 00:30:32,503
forming a kind of... armor.
567
00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:34,402
Not the most efficient defense.
568
00:30:34,676 --> 00:30:38,386
I suspect its purpose is more
symbolic than practical.
569
00:30:39,653 --> 00:30:42,428
They contain Klingon biological material
570
00:30:42,428 --> 00:30:44,276
in various states of decay.
571
00:30:44,301 --> 00:30:46,050
Remote dating is wildly divergent.
572
00:30:46,075 --> 00:30:48,028
Some bones date back thousands of years,
573
00:30:48,053 --> 00:30:49,278
others only hours old.
574
00:30:50,056 --> 00:30:52,550
Their entire ship is
covered with coffins.
575
00:30:53,427 --> 00:30:56,188
Commander, the captain listens to you.
576
00:30:56,801 --> 00:30:57,756
Tell her.
577
00:30:58,092 --> 00:31:00,550
We must withdraw.
578
00:31:01,780 --> 00:31:04,588
I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
579
00:31:08,847 --> 00:31:11,887
Your world has food chains.
580
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:13,427
Mine does not.
581
00:31:13,977 --> 00:31:15,992
Our species map is binary.
582
00:31:16,017 --> 00:31:18,227
We are either predator or prey.
583
00:31:18,876 --> 00:31:20,321
My people were hunted.
584
00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:22,831
Bred. Farmed.
585
00:31:23,493 --> 00:31:25,484
We are your livestock of old.
586
00:31:26,111 --> 00:31:28,704
We were biologically
determined for one purpose
587
00:31:28,704 --> 00:31:30,467
and one purpose alone:
588
00:31:31,424 --> 00:31:33,658
to sense the coming of death.
589
00:31:36,388 --> 00:31:38,597
I sense it coming now.
590
00:31:43,534 --> 00:31:45,824
The Klingon
flagship has a stealth mode.
591
00:31:46,201 --> 00:31:48,064
It's some kind of cloaking screen,
592
00:31:48,088 --> 00:31:50,322
unlike anything we've
ever seen, Admiral.
593
00:31:50,347 --> 00:31:52,387
There may be more vessels
out there than we know.
594
00:31:52,452 --> 00:31:54,122
We've reached out with every form
595
00:31:54,147 --> 00:31:55,994
of friendship greeting Starfleet has.
596
00:31:56,163 --> 00:31:57,297
They're blocking our hails.
597
00:31:57,322 --> 00:31:58,717
Uh, it feels like a setup.
598
00:31:58,742 --> 00:32:01,247
Maybe our relay got too
close for Klingon comfort,
599
00:32:01,272 --> 00:32:03,562
and they destroyed it
to lure us out here.
600
00:32:03,612 --> 00:32:05,072
You remember my first officer
601
00:32:05,097 --> 00:32:06,293
Michael Burnham?
602
00:32:06,830 --> 00:32:08,680
Next time, you might try not disturbing
603
00:32:08,705 --> 00:32:10,118
the property of a warrior race
604
00:32:10,143 --> 00:32:12,063
we've hardly spoken to
for a hundred years.
605
00:32:12,243 --> 00:32:14,863
Our only choice now is to
navigate this situation
606
00:32:14,888 --> 00:32:16,547
with as much finesse as possible.
607
00:32:16,572 --> 00:32:18,183
Admiral, if I may.
608
00:32:21,515 --> 00:32:25,239
The ideal outcome for any
Klingon interaction is battle.
609
00:32:25,601 --> 00:32:27,705
They're relentlessly hostile, sir.
610
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,195
It's in their nature.
611
00:32:29,195 --> 00:32:31,206
The Federation and the Klingon Empire
612
00:32:31,232 --> 00:32:33,710
have always been on
the cold side of war.
613
00:32:33,757 --> 00:32:36,382
We've had only fleeting run-ins
with them for a century.
614
00:32:36,407 --> 00:32:37,385
And now you presume
615
00:32:37,410 --> 00:32:38,820
to know their motivation
616
00:32:38,845 --> 00:32:40,505
because it is "in their nature"?
617
00:32:40,818 --> 00:32:42,341
Considering your
background, I would think
618
00:32:42,341 --> 00:32:44,806
you're the last person to make
assumptions based on race.
619
00:32:44,831 --> 00:32:47,788
With respect, it would be unwise
to confuse race and culture.
620
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:50,708
The Europa and all fleet
vessels within range
621
00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:52,538
will be at your
coordinates in two hours.
622
00:32:52,563 --> 00:32:53,503
Hold your position.
623
00:32:53,528 --> 00:32:56,013
Do nothing absent
provocation, understood?
624
00:32:56,038 --> 00:32:57,527
Understood, Admiral.
625
00:32:57,552 --> 00:32:59,900
Signal terminated.
626
00:33:00,591 --> 00:33:01,760
That went well.
627
00:33:03,969 --> 00:33:05,080
What's the mood outside?
628
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:07,285
Saru is the only one talking.
629
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:11,454
He strongly believes
we should about-face.
630
00:33:12,273 --> 00:33:14,973
There is a space station
at Eagle-Twelve,
631
00:33:14,998 --> 00:33:16,359
three light-years away.
632
00:33:16,384 --> 00:33:19,420
The Andorian colony at
Gamma-Hydra is six.
633
00:33:19,445 --> 00:33:22,579
Shenzhou is their only line of
defense if the Klingons attack.
634
00:33:22,579 --> 00:33:24,858
Not if... when.
635
00:33:24,883 --> 00:33:27,763
I have to hope that
whatever happens here
636
00:33:27,788 --> 00:33:30,710
can serve as a bridge
between our civilizations.
637
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:32,910
That's the diplomat in you talking.
638
00:33:33,776 --> 00:33:35,731
What does the soldier say?
639
00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:39,462
Nothing good.
640
00:33:43,064 --> 00:33:44,854
Captain to the bridge.
641
00:33:46,435 --> 00:33:47,109
Status?
642
00:33:47,109 --> 00:33:49,485
Massive photonic activity on
the Klingon object, Captain.
643
00:33:49,511 --> 00:33:51,564
Output is over one billion
lumens per square meter.
644
00:33:51,589 --> 00:33:52,759
Optical sensors overloading.
645
00:33:52,784 --> 00:33:54,226
Bring plasmatic
filters on line.
646
00:33:54,251 --> 00:33:56,000
Rerouting power.
647
00:33:56,025 --> 00:33:57,392
Is that a weapon?
648
00:33:57,417 --> 00:34:00,439
It seems to be some
sort of signal emitter.
649
00:34:01,856 --> 00:34:03,320
Where are my filters?
650
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,070
They're at 100%, Captain.
651
00:34:17,059 --> 00:34:19,997
Initiating emergency shutdown.
652
00:34:20,193 --> 00:34:21,342
That noise is some kind of
653
00:34:21,367 --> 00:34:22,607
electromagnetic subspace wave-form.
654
00:34:22,632 --> 00:34:24,012
Narrowing channel range.
655
00:34:24,037 --> 00:34:25,593
Adjusting orientation
to minimize dispersal.
656
00:34:25,618 --> 00:34:26,748
Somebody turn it down.
657
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,086
Aye, Captain.
658
00:34:28,111 --> 00:34:29,955
- All the way down.
- Acoustics are muted.
659
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:33,114
That's the ship's superstructure
in sympathetic vibration.
660
00:34:33,576 --> 00:34:35,236
It's a signal pulse.
661
00:34:35,261 --> 00:34:36,881
Is there a message?
662
00:34:36,906 --> 00:34:38,352
This may be the message.
663
00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:41,015
Captain, what if they're calling
for the same thing we are?
664
00:34:42,090 --> 00:34:42,767
Backup.
665
00:34:43,057 --> 00:34:45,377
Long-range sensors to the maximum, Saru.
666
00:34:45,402 --> 00:34:46,782
If more Klingons are on their way,
667
00:34:46,962 --> 00:34:48,903
I want as much notice as possible.
668
00:34:48,928 --> 00:34:50,468
Permission to leave the bridge, Captain?
669
00:34:50,493 --> 00:34:52,752
- Are you kidding?
- It's relevant.
670
00:34:54,345 --> 00:34:55,192
Granted.
671
00:34:55,513 --> 00:34:58,474
Ensign, get me a status
report, deck by deck.
672
00:34:58,500 --> 00:34:59,620
Aye, Captain.
673
00:35:01,669 --> 00:35:02,483
Computer.
674
00:35:02,671 --> 00:35:03,751
Working.
675
00:35:03,776 --> 00:35:06,486
Open dedicated subspace channel 222AA7.
676
00:35:06,511 --> 00:35:08,080
Use of this frequency requires
677
00:35:08,105 --> 00:35:10,408
- diplomatic authorization.
- Voiceprint authorize.
678
00:35:10,433 --> 00:35:12,879
Burnham... Michael.
679
00:35:12,904 --> 00:35:14,127
Confirmed.
680
00:35:15,366 --> 00:35:16,432
Commander Burnham.
681
00:35:16,432 --> 00:35:17,549
Hello, Sarek.
682
00:35:17,754 --> 00:35:18,800
I'm happy to see you.
683
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:20,195
So many years.
684
00:35:20,220 --> 00:35:22,592
And still you allow
emotional considerations
685
00:35:22,617 --> 00:35:24,037
to impede your logic.
686
00:35:24,062 --> 00:35:26,809
They inform my logic.
687
00:35:28,132 --> 00:35:29,561
I need your help.
688
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,707
I assume the timing of the
call was not coincidental.
689
00:35:32,732 --> 00:35:35,598
The quadrant reports a
new star in the sky.
690
00:35:36,974 --> 00:35:40,054
What have you done out there, on
the edge of Federation space?
691
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,169
We've encountered the Klingons.
692
00:35:42,194 --> 00:35:45,734
How rare to meet one's
own demons in the flesh.
693
00:35:45,759 --> 00:35:47,759
I killed one.
694
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:52,248
In light of the fact that
they killed your parents,
695
00:35:52,273 --> 00:35:55,403
some might think that only fair.
696
00:35:55,428 --> 00:35:57,116
However,
697
00:35:57,141 --> 00:35:59,665
if a death was necessary,
698
00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:02,792
I am satisfied it was not yours.
699
00:36:04,074 --> 00:36:07,204
I'm most certain you did not
call me for emotional solace.
700
00:36:07,229 --> 00:36:09,059
We're facing off.
701
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:11,164
No fire has been exchanged.
702
00:36:11,325 --> 00:36:13,205
But they didn't turn on that beacon
703
00:36:13,230 --> 00:36:15,390
until Starfleet was on
its way to our position.
704
00:36:15,415 --> 00:36:17,640
I think they're summoning
more of their kind.
705
00:36:17,665 --> 00:36:20,063
An odd proposition given
that their empire
706
00:36:20,088 --> 00:36:22,048
has been in disarray for generations.
707
00:36:22,073 --> 00:36:24,663
But you are describing
something out of the ordinary.
708
00:36:24,688 --> 00:36:27,478
Restraint in the face of conflict.
709
00:36:27,503 --> 00:36:30,694
When a civilization acts in
opposition to its instincts,
710
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,599
it may be under the influence
of something, or someone, new.
711
00:36:34,991 --> 00:36:38,792
Great unifiers are few and far between,
712
00:36:38,817 --> 00:36:40,997
but they do come.
713
00:36:41,022 --> 00:36:44,482
Often, such leaders will
need a profound cause
714
00:36:44,507 --> 00:36:46,507
for their followers to rally around.
715
00:36:46,532 --> 00:36:48,192
A war.
716
00:36:48,691 --> 00:36:51,901
Be very careful that your assumptions
717
00:36:51,926 --> 00:36:55,511
are not being driven by your past.
718
00:36:55,536 --> 00:36:58,116
This isn't about what happened, Sarek.
719
00:36:58,141 --> 00:37:00,431
It's what's happening now.
720
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,705
How did the Vulcans achieve
diplomatic relations
721
00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:06,110
with the Klingons?
722
00:37:06,135 --> 00:37:08,369
That is a solution particular to us.
723
00:37:08,394 --> 00:37:11,612
One cannot assume it would work
on a ship commanded by humans.
724
00:37:11,637 --> 00:37:15,401
Sarek... please.
725
00:37:15,426 --> 00:37:18,676
I caution you, be considered
726
00:37:18,701 --> 00:37:21,320
with how you use this information.
727
00:37:21,345 --> 00:37:23,915
You cannot save lives that
have already been lost.
728
00:37:23,940 --> 00:37:25,310
Tell me.
729
00:37:25,335 --> 00:37:28,586
How did you keep the Klingons at bay?
730
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:32,394
Engineering, report.
731
00:37:32,419 --> 00:37:33,530
Internal damage, negative.
732
00:37:33,555 --> 00:37:34,875
Core is 100%.
733
00:37:34,899 --> 00:37:36,780
Captain, we have to fire on them.
734
00:37:36,805 --> 00:37:38,343
Hit that ship with everything we've got.
735
00:37:38,368 --> 00:37:40,952
Absolutely not.
They haven't powered weapons.
736
00:37:40,977 --> 00:37:43,086
They don't appear to
pose an imminent threat.
737
00:37:43,111 --> 00:37:45,540
The Klingon threat is always
imminent and inevitable.
738
00:37:45,565 --> 00:37:47,725
- Tactical log's ready.
- Thank you, Mr. Gant.
739
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:51,150
I'd like to remind you,
we're wildly outgunned.
740
00:37:51,437 --> 00:37:54,112
240 years ago, near H'Atoria,
741
00:37:54,137 --> 00:37:56,137
a Vulcan ship crossed
into Klingon space.
742
00:37:56,187 --> 00:37:58,116
The Klingons attacked immediately.
743
00:37:58,141 --> 00:37:59,951
They destroyed the vessel.
744
00:37:59,976 --> 00:38:02,476
Vulcans don't make the
same mistake twice.
745
00:38:02,501 --> 00:38:05,161
From then on, until formal
relations were established,
746
00:38:05,186 --> 00:38:07,335
whenever the Vulcans crossed
paths with Klingons,
747
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,560
the Vulcans fired first.
748
00:38:09,585 --> 00:38:12,628
They said "hello" in a language
the Klingons understood.
749
00:38:12,653 --> 00:38:14,443
Violence brought respect.
750
00:38:14,468 --> 00:38:16,378
Respect brought peace.
751
00:38:16,564 --> 00:38:20,404
Captain. We have to give the
Klingons a Vulcan "hello."
752
00:38:20,429 --> 00:38:22,690
If their intention is to attack,
753
00:38:22,882 --> 00:38:26,310
balling up our fists
won't dissuade them.
754
00:38:29,313 --> 00:38:31,353
It would be logical for
you to take into account
755
00:38:31,378 --> 00:38:34,155
my success rate during our
seven years together,
756
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:36,334
and execute my plan
without further challenge
757
00:38:36,359 --> 00:38:38,101
before we're dragged into war.
758
00:38:38,126 --> 00:38:40,546
Starfleet doesn't fire first.
759
00:38:40,593 --> 00:38:42,133
That's all, Number One.
760
00:38:42,158 --> 00:38:43,696
We have to.
761
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:50,084
In my ready room. Now.
762
00:38:51,050 --> 00:38:53,037
Lieutenant Commander,
you have the bridge.
763
00:38:53,062 --> 00:38:55,349
Yes, Captain.
764
00:38:59,205 --> 00:39:00,598
Computer, privacy.
765
00:39:00,623 --> 00:39:01,505
Captain...
766
00:39:01,530 --> 00:39:03,620
How dare you challenge me?
767
00:39:03,938 --> 00:39:06,590
I apologize for my insubordination.
768
00:39:06,615 --> 00:39:09,478
Don't you realize that kind of
talk can destabilize a crew?
769
00:39:09,503 --> 00:39:11,043
Don't underestimate them.
770
00:39:11,068 --> 00:39:12,411
I've overseen their exercises;
771
00:39:12,436 --> 00:39:13,701
they're ready for battle.
772
00:39:13,726 --> 00:39:15,657
Battle is not a simulation.
773
00:39:15,682 --> 00:39:20,722
It's blood and screams and funerals.
774
00:39:20,747 --> 00:39:22,620
I taught you better than this.
775
00:39:22,645 --> 00:39:24,623
We don't start shooting on a hunch,
776
00:39:24,648 --> 00:39:27,268
and we don't take
innocent lives. Period.
777
00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:30,240
I understand your history
with the Klingons.
778
00:39:30,265 --> 00:39:31,610
My commitment to this course of action
779
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:32,975
is not emotional.
780
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,540
We target its neck, cut off its head...
781
00:39:35,565 --> 00:39:36,826
You're still injured.
782
00:39:36,851 --> 00:39:38,436
- You're not thinking clearly...
- Thousands of lives will be
783
00:39:38,461 --> 00:39:40,302
- lost because of failure to act.
- Whose lives?
784
00:39:40,327 --> 00:39:42,412
Victims of your imaginary war?
785
00:39:42,445 --> 00:39:44,803
And your life, Captain.
786
00:39:45,587 --> 00:39:47,686
Yours.
787
00:39:49,512 --> 00:39:52,262
Stand down, Commander Burnham.
788
00:39:52,287 --> 00:39:54,265
That's an order.
789
00:39:55,669 --> 00:39:58,780
You're right.
790
00:40:00,247 --> 00:40:02,577
I may not be myself.
791
00:40:06,868 --> 00:40:09,488
Easy, Michael.
792
00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:16,753
I'm sorry.
793
00:40:21,484 --> 00:40:23,593
You're relieved, Mr. Saru.
794
00:40:23,627 --> 00:40:25,247
Where is the captain?
795
00:40:25,693 --> 00:40:27,483
I provided her with Klingon intel
796
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,069
from a personal source on Vulcan.
797
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:30,554
She's passing it to the admiral.
798
00:40:30,579 --> 00:40:33,144
Weapons, slot a pair of
photon torpedoes in the tubes
799
00:40:33,169 --> 00:40:34,449
and compute a firing solution
800
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:36,269
targeting the neck of that Klingon ship.
801
00:40:36,294 --> 00:40:38,374
Is the plan to fire
on the Klingons, Commander?
802
00:40:38,399 --> 00:40:41,696
We have to be ready in case
that's what the captain decides.
803
00:40:41,995 --> 00:40:44,705
Are you acting on the captain's orders?
804
00:40:44,730 --> 00:40:46,640
I'm your superior officer.
805
00:40:46,665 --> 00:40:49,165
We are in a high-risk scenario.
806
00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:51,963
Question chain of command
again and I'll remove you.
807
00:40:52,212 --> 00:40:54,211
Commander. It's just...
808
00:40:54,412 --> 00:40:56,412
Your breathing is elevated.
809
00:40:56,437 --> 00:40:58,142
Perspiration's visible at your hairline.
810
00:40:58,167 --> 00:40:59,747
I fear what you are doing
811
00:40:59,772 --> 00:41:01,392
betrays the wishes of our captain.
812
00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:03,303
Target phasers.
813
00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:04,744
Take your station, Commander.
814
00:41:04,769 --> 00:41:06,124
This is mutiny.
815
00:41:06,149 --> 00:41:09,225
Move, Saru. Tactical.
816
00:41:09,250 --> 00:41:10,447
We're locked on.
817
00:41:10,472 --> 00:41:11,338
Fire!
818
00:41:11,363 --> 00:41:14,105
Belay that order!
819
00:41:14,130 --> 00:41:16,010
Captain, please.
820
00:41:16,035 --> 00:41:17,995
I'm trying to save you.
821
00:41:18,020 --> 00:41:19,890
I'm trying to save all of you.
822
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:25,114
Stand down.
823
00:41:35,628 --> 00:41:37,504
Captain! Incoming!
824
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:38,649
Warp signatures detected.
825
00:41:38,674 --> 00:41:40,345
Is it Starfleet?
826
00:41:48,330 --> 00:41:49,205
No.
827
00:41:49,779 --> 00:41:51,435
Those ships are Klingon.
828
00:42:04,054 --> 00:42:08,054
