1
00:01:25,149 --> 00:01:29,086
"We come in peace."

2
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:36,620
We come in peace...
that's why we're here.

3
00:01:36,645 --> 00:01:38,420
Isn't that the whole idea of Starfleet?

4
00:01:38,445 --> 00:01:40,500
Hey, I taught you that.

5
00:01:40,525 --> 00:01:41,765
You don't trust me, Captain?

6
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:43,765
I trust you with my life,
Commander Burnham,

7
00:01:43,790 --> 00:01:46,540
but it doesn't change the
fact that you're lost.

8
00:01:47,025 --> 00:01:48,985
Very lost.

9
00:01:49,516 --> 00:01:51,475
Technically, we would be lost.

10
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,419
How long until that storm

11
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:55,209
comes crashing down on us?

12
00:01:55,210 --> 00:01:56,579
I estimate one hour,

13
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:58,765
17 minutes, 22 seconds.

14
00:01:58,790 --> 00:02:02,012
Which is why I've made
sure we're not lost.

15
00:02:02,406 --> 00:02:05,406
The map says the well
is this way, Captain.

16
00:02:08,522 --> 00:02:11,145
This drought's going to last 89 years.

17
00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:14,373
The Crepusculans are facing
extinction as a species.

18
00:02:14,494 --> 00:02:15,824
See those egg sacs?

19
00:02:15,849 --> 00:02:17,865
Those are their offspring.

20
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,380
They've survived here for over
a thousand years, Michael.

21
00:02:21,405 --> 00:02:23,525
Right, and if we don't do something now,

22
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:25,099
they won't live another thousand hours.

23
00:02:25,124 --> 00:02:26,288
The ambient radiation

24
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:29,192
from a nearby drilling accident
dried out their water table.

25
00:02:29,217 --> 00:02:31,449
If we can get in and out
without making contact,

26
00:02:31,458 --> 00:02:33,587
we can steer clear of General Order One.

27
00:02:33,588 --> 00:02:36,064
And there is the well.

28
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:38,089
I stand corrected.

29
00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:39,945
Ye of little faith.

30
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,723
Oh, never had a doubt.

31
00:02:41,748 --> 00:02:44,933
Tell me what I need to break
through this bedrock.

32
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:48,497
.7-second field burst
at level setting 13.5.

33
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:18,330
Georgiou to Shenzhou.

34
00:03:18,355 --> 00:03:19,850
Two to transport.

35
00:03:23,784 --> 00:03:26,055
The storm is moving
faster than I thought.

36
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,120
The ship won't be able to
pick up our signatures.

37
00:03:28,145 --> 00:03:30,355
Unless we can contact Lieutenant Saru,

38
00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:32,500
we could be trapped
here until it's over.

39
00:03:32,616 --> 00:03:34,479
Let's take a walk.

40
00:04:06,426 --> 00:04:09,641
Follow my footsteps,
Michael, even lines.

41
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:11,576
Why? Captain, where are we going?

42
00:04:11,601 --> 00:04:13,490
It's your turn to trust me, Number One.

43
00:04:13,515 --> 00:04:15,263
But now we're really lost.

44
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:18,302
We're far too small to be
seen with the naked eye.

45
00:04:18,327 --> 00:04:20,570
And you can't set a
course without a star.

46
00:04:20,595 --> 00:04:22,046
Is it wise to be heading

47
00:04:22,071 --> 00:04:25,046
- away from the village?
- It's hard to imagine

48
00:04:25,071 --> 00:04:27,710
you've served under me for seven years.

49
00:04:27,735 --> 00:04:29,655
I think it's time

50
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,630
that we talked about you
having your own command.

51
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:37,559
I'm grateful, Captain.

52
00:04:39,269 --> 00:04:41,559
Though I would be significantly more so

53
00:04:41,584 --> 00:04:44,439
if I thought we had any chance
of ever returning to the ship.

54
00:04:44,832 --> 00:04:47,042
Just keep walking, Michael.

55
00:04:47,067 --> 00:04:48,348
What will you do

56
00:04:48,374 --> 00:04:50,426
if you were stuck here for 89 years?

57
00:04:50,632 --> 00:04:52,092
A likely scenario...

58
00:04:52,117 --> 00:04:53,694
unless we die here in the desert.

59
00:04:53,719 --> 00:04:56,014
But say you lived.

60
00:04:56,039 --> 00:04:58,444
As a xenoanthropologist,
I could reveal myself

61
00:04:58,469 --> 00:05:00,509
to the natives, learn their culture,

62
00:05:00,534 --> 00:05:02,813
try to fit in... if possible.

63
00:05:02,838 --> 00:05:04,678
And you, Captain?

64
00:05:04,703 --> 00:05:06,993
What will you do if we're
trapped here for 89 years?

65
00:05:07,018 --> 00:05:09,563
That's easy. I'd escape.

66
00:05:09,929 --> 00:05:11,769
These are our footprints.

67
00:05:12,081 --> 00:05:14,031
You've walked us in a circle.

68
00:05:14,056 --> 00:05:16,412
Not exactly a circle.

69
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:37,940
How did they find us?

70
00:05:37,965 --> 00:05:40,215
I set a star.

First Officer's Log, Stardate 1207.3.

73
00:07:44,281 --> 00:07:47,201
On Earth, it's May 11, 2256,

74
00:07:47,317 --> 00:07:49,527
a Sunday.

75
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:51,817
The crew of the U.S.S. Shenzhou

76
00:07:51,842 --> 00:07:53,696
has been called to the
edge of Federation space

77
00:07:53,721 --> 00:07:57,375
to investigate damage done to
one of our interstellar relays.

78
00:07:57,528 --> 00:07:59,977
Blast burns around the
hole are inconclusive.

79
00:08:00,330 --> 00:08:02,250
Were they caused by an asteroid,

80
00:08:02,275 --> 00:08:03,855
or was it deliberately destroyed

81
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,130
to limit Starfleet communications?

82
00:08:06,155 --> 00:08:08,155
And if so, by whom?

83
00:08:08,928 --> 00:08:10,808
Despite the risks of our mission,

84
00:08:10,833 --> 00:08:12,723
I remain optimistic.

85
00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:16,538
It's hard not to be in the
face of such beauty...

86
00:08:16,567 --> 00:08:19,503
in this case, a binary star system.

87
00:08:19,528 --> 00:08:21,238
Around these two suns,

88
00:08:21,263 --> 00:08:23,622
ice, dust and gasses collide

89
00:08:23,647 --> 00:08:26,960
to form the planets future
generations will call home.

90
00:08:26,985 --> 00:08:29,140
A humbling reminder that all life

91
00:08:29,165 --> 00:08:31,913
is born from chaos and destruction.

92
00:08:31,938 --> 00:08:33,297
Based on initial readings,

93
00:08:33,322 --> 00:08:34,922
I would say the relay doesn't appear

94
00:08:34,947 --> 00:08:36,527
to have been damaged naturally.

95
00:08:36,601 --> 00:08:38,691
I don't like the look of that.

96
00:08:38,716 --> 00:08:40,046
Well, keep looking.

97
00:08:40,071 --> 00:08:41,591
Well, the comment was figurative;

98
00:08:41,616 --> 00:08:43,076
I'm expressing concern.

99
00:08:43,101 --> 00:08:45,601
Finish your scans so you
can express facts instead.

100
00:08:45,717 --> 00:08:47,927
The bridge is yours, Mr. Saru.

101
00:08:47,952 --> 00:08:49,345
Yes...

102
00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:50,750
Commander.

103
00:08:52,348 --> 00:08:54,018
Yes, Number One.

104
00:08:54,043 --> 00:08:56,202
Your chief science officer is worried.

105
00:08:56,227 --> 00:08:58,116
Something took a bite out of our relay.

106
00:08:58,141 --> 00:08:59,771
Saru thinks it was malicious.

107
00:08:59,796 --> 00:09:02,796
Saru's Kelpien... he thinks
everything's malicious.

108
00:09:02,911 --> 00:09:04,491
What do you think?

109
00:09:04,516 --> 00:09:05,980
Any idea what it is?

110
00:09:06,005 --> 00:09:08,527
By all indications, nothing intelligent.

111
00:09:08,552 --> 00:09:09,962
But...?

112
00:09:09,987 --> 00:09:13,037
Starfleet's reputation for
tech hygiene is exemplary.

113
00:09:13,062 --> 00:09:14,392
When a relay goes down,

114
00:09:14,417 --> 00:09:16,782
the Federation sends a ship to fix it.

115
00:09:16,807 --> 00:09:19,067
You think someone's trying
to get our attention?

116
00:09:19,092 --> 00:09:22,092
If they are, they have.

117
00:09:23,653 --> 00:09:25,943
Lieutenant Saru, what do we have?

118
00:09:25,968 --> 00:09:28,928
Ah. I have taken the
initiative of keeping us

119
00:09:28,953 --> 00:09:30,623
at maximum scanning distance

120
00:09:30,648 --> 00:09:32,216
in case of anything threatening
out there, Captain.

121
00:09:32,241 --> 00:09:34,757
Yes. Number One tells me
you suspect foul play.

122
00:09:34,782 --> 00:09:36,520
Despite the first
officer's constant need

123
00:09:36,545 --> 00:09:38,504
to dismiss my ideas...

124
00:09:38,529 --> 00:09:40,216
She apparently agrees with you.

125
00:09:40,241 --> 00:09:41,732
Really?

126
00:09:41,757 --> 00:09:42,928
I'm shocked as well.

127
00:09:42,953 --> 00:09:44,318
Ensign Connor,

128
00:09:44,343 --> 00:09:46,303
agreement between my senior officers.

129
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:47,639
Note the date and time.

130
00:09:47,664 --> 00:09:48,664
Noted, Captain.

131
00:09:48,703 --> 00:09:50,069
Is this amount of sarcasm

132
00:09:50,094 --> 00:09:51,308
always necessary?

133
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:52,623
Necessary? No.

134
00:09:52,648 --> 00:09:54,443
But I do like it.

135
00:09:54,507 --> 00:09:56,178
There is something else out there.

136
00:09:56,203 --> 00:09:57,702
What do you have, Saru?

137
00:09:57,703 --> 00:09:58,953
Recalibrating sensors.

138
00:09:58,978 --> 00:10:00,728
Electronic alignment in process.

139
00:10:02,823 --> 00:10:04,141
Active scans are being deflected.

140
00:10:04,166 --> 00:10:05,554
I'm having trouble locating the source.

141
00:10:05,619 --> 00:10:07,010
So something's out there,

142
00:10:07,035 --> 00:10:09,285
but no one can tell me
where or what it is.

143
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:10,830
Ah, wait.

144
00:10:10,855 --> 00:10:11,935
I have it.

145
00:10:13,806 --> 00:10:15,016
No. Recalibrating.

146
00:10:15,041 --> 00:10:16,921
Any time now, Mr. Saru.

147
00:10:16,946 --> 00:10:19,026
I have it.

148
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,119
Magnify.

149
00:10:21,144 --> 00:10:23,314
Is that what damaged our relay?

150
00:10:23,339 --> 00:10:25,169
What am I looking at?

151
00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:28,470
Object of unknown origin.

152
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,450
Let's get more specific.

153
00:10:30,495 --> 00:10:32,245
I'm unable to bring it into focus.

154
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:33,606
Number One?

155
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:36,669
Range is 2,000 kilometers.

156
00:10:36,694 --> 00:10:38,284
Bearing 358 mark 269.

157
00:10:38,522 --> 00:10:41,740
Roughly 150 meters long, tucked
into that accretion disk.

158
00:10:41,765 --> 00:10:43,108
Almost directly below us.

159
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:45,223
It's in a sensor dead zone.

160
00:10:45,375 --> 00:10:47,889
Some kind of scattering field is
confounding the ship's ability

161
00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:49,325
to translate the image.

162
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:51,600
As science officer,

163
00:10:51,625 --> 00:10:54,898
I can provide a far more
concrete and in-depth analysis

164
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,268
than simply reading data off a monitor.

165
00:10:57,293 --> 00:11:01,301
But considering it's scrambling
our optical processors,

166
00:11:01,326 --> 00:11:03,676
how are we going to be able to see it?

167
00:11:07,573 --> 00:11:09,573
Thoughts, Number One?

168
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:13,798
With such little data, I'd
prefer not to speculate.

169
00:11:13,823 --> 00:11:16,323
Oh, I will. It's lurking.

170
00:11:16,415 --> 00:11:18,533
The scattering field it's
emitting suggests intent.

171
00:11:18,558 --> 00:11:20,123
We see something we don't understand

172
00:11:20,148 --> 00:11:21,361
and instantly cast judgment?

173
00:11:21,386 --> 00:11:22,712
Maybe it's lost.

174
00:11:22,737 --> 00:11:24,783
Maybe it's afraid to
show us its whole self.

175
00:11:24,808 --> 00:11:28,098
Hiding, but maybe hoping to be found.

176
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:31,850
Here we are, speculating.

177
00:11:31,875 --> 00:11:36,765
I respectfully recommend
we leave it alone.

178
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:39,040
I'm not sure we have much choice.

179
00:11:39,065 --> 00:11:41,889
We can't lock on to it, and
we don't have a shuttle

180
00:11:41,914 --> 00:11:43,930
maneuverable enough
to navigate the ring.

181
00:11:43,955 --> 00:11:45,702
I'll go.

182
00:11:45,727 --> 00:11:47,491
All I need is a thruster pack.

183
00:11:47,516 --> 00:11:49,346
With the high levels of radiation

184
00:11:49,371 --> 00:11:51,441
kicking off those binaries,
she'll have 20 minutes

185
00:11:51,466 --> 00:11:54,176
until her DNA starts to
unravel like noodles.

186
00:11:54,201 --> 00:11:55,371
Like noodles?

187
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:58,040
I'll be back in 19. A flyby.

188
00:11:58,065 --> 00:11:59,315
It seems a waste of the ship's

189
00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:00,416
resources. What will be gained?

190
00:12:00,441 --> 00:12:01,869
You do understand that being afraid

191
00:12:01,894 --> 00:12:04,198
of everything means you learn nothing.

192
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,523
There's no opportunity to discover,

193
00:12:06,548 --> 00:12:08,298
- to explore.
- And here I thought

194
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:10,526
we were doing a deep-space
communication relay audit.

195
00:12:10,551 --> 00:12:12,291
You're both right.

196
00:12:12,325 --> 00:12:13,619
Saru, go with her.

197
00:12:13,644 --> 00:12:14,707
- Captain!
- Captain!

198
00:12:14,732 --> 00:12:15,729
Best to keep variables

199
00:12:15,754 --> 00:12:16,815
to a minimum. I wouldn't want

200
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,072
to put my colleague at risk.

201
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:19,893
And you, Mr. Saru, are you equally

202
00:12:19,918 --> 00:12:21,629
happy not to be put at risk?

203
00:12:21,654 --> 00:12:23,654
Oh, on any occasion, Captain.

204
00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:27,060
You realize,

205
00:12:27,085 --> 00:12:29,636
once you reach that scattering field,

206
00:12:29,661 --> 00:12:31,791
you could be cut off
from all communication.

207
00:12:31,816 --> 00:12:34,026
We've come all this way, Captain.

208
00:12:34,051 --> 00:12:36,643
It would be... irresponsible

209
00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:38,708
to leave whatever that is unknown.

210
00:12:38,785 --> 00:12:40,804
Just a flyby.

211
00:12:42,153 --> 00:12:44,203
Just a flyby.

212
00:12:44,228 --> 00:12:46,510
Commencing airlock

213
00:12:46,535 --> 00:12:48,378
depressurization sequence.

214
00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:53,284
Commander Burnham, this
is Ensign Danby Connor.

215
00:12:53,309 --> 00:12:55,331
On behalf of Captain
Georgiou and the entire crew

216
00:12:55,356 --> 00:12:56,856
of the U.S.S. Shenzhou,

217
00:12:56,881 --> 00:12:58,791
we'd like to welcome you to flight 819

218
00:12:58,816 --> 00:13:01,116
with non-stop service to the
"object of unknown origin."

219
00:13:01,141 --> 00:13:04,344
The temperature outside is a
brisk minus-260 degrees Celsius.

220
00:13:04,369 --> 00:13:06,039
We are forecasting some mild debris,

221
00:13:06,064 --> 00:13:07,474
but anticipate a smooth ride.

222
00:13:16,050 --> 00:13:17,990
This is Commander Burnham.

223
00:13:18,015 --> 00:13:19,595
Commencing reconnaissance mission

224
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:21,620
to field void and unknown object.

225
00:13:21,645 --> 00:13:23,932
Data collection is on and nominal.

226
00:13:23,957 --> 00:13:25,892
All lights are green.

227
00:13:25,917 --> 00:13:27,908
Establishing interlink frequency

228
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:29,220
with Commander Burnham's EV.

229
00:13:29,245 --> 00:13:30,300
Channel clear...

230
00:13:30,325 --> 00:13:32,035
and ready to transmit.

231
00:13:32,060 --> 00:13:34,198
Confirming six-second directional thrust

232
00:13:34,223 --> 00:13:36,386
for saucer realignment.

233
00:13:37,268 --> 00:13:39,648
Commencing final
prelaunch system checks.

234
00:13:39,673 --> 00:13:41,293
Life support: nominal.

235
00:13:41,318 --> 00:13:43,988
Oxygen/nitrogen saturation: nominal.

236
00:13:44,013 --> 00:13:46,328
Air pressure and flow: nominal.

237
00:13:46,353 --> 00:13:48,294
Communication module: active.

238
00:13:53,891 --> 00:13:57,492
Filters at 0.01% saturation.

239
00:14:01,648 --> 00:14:03,648
Preflight checklist complete.

240
00:14:06,277 --> 00:14:09,580
The object is 2,000 kilometers...

241
00:14:12,090 --> 00:14:15,011
Computer, enable igniter.

242
00:14:15,036 --> 00:14:17,258
Ten seconds to thruster ignition.

243
00:14:17,283 --> 00:14:20,283
Ten, nine, eight,

244
00:14:20,308 --> 00:14:23,266
seven, six, five,

245
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:28,279
four, three, two, one.

246
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,255
Body scan on line, heart rate

247
00:14:48,256 --> 00:14:50,687
79 and rising, BP 130/70.

248
00:14:50,712 --> 00:14:52,092
That's a little elevated for her.

249
00:14:52,117 --> 00:14:53,447
She's having fun.

250
00:14:53,472 --> 00:14:55,222
Almost to the debris field, Captain.

251
00:14:55,247 --> 00:14:56,837
Understood.

252
00:14:56,911 --> 00:14:58,861
Michael, watch your time.

253
00:14:58,886 --> 00:15:01,114
19 minutes, not a nanosecond longer.

254
00:15:01,139 --> 00:15:02,825
Aye, Captain.

255
00:15:02,850 --> 00:15:04,310
I'm fully aware.

256
00:15:04,395 --> 00:15:05,605
Boost signal.

257
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:08,003
Unable to comply. Scattering field.

258
00:15:08,028 --> 00:15:09,351
It must be interfering with comms.

259
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:10,667
Mission clock at 17 minutes,

260
00:15:10,692 --> 00:15:11,534
30 seconds.

261
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:12,559
Interference is starting

262
00:15:12,584 --> 00:15:13,704
to degrade resolution.

263
00:15:13,729 --> 00:15:14,831
Routing additional power

264
00:15:14,856 --> 00:15:16,026
to subspace antenna.

265
00:15:22,179 --> 00:15:24,515
Shenzhou, do you copy?

266
00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:26,259
Distance to object 1,000
kilometers and closing.

267
00:15:26,284 --> 00:15:27,977
Shenzhou, do you copy?

268
00:15:28,002 --> 00:15:30,274
Implementing automatic
course correction.

269
00:15:46,060 --> 00:15:48,515
Hello.

270
00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:50,905
Shenzhou, are you able to see this?

271
00:15:52,545 --> 00:15:54,795
Michael, can you hear me? Acknowledge.

272
00:15:55,294 --> 00:15:57,520
Michael? Can you hear me?

273
00:15:57,545 --> 00:15:59,004
Acknowledge.

274
00:15:59,029 --> 00:16:00,497
There's just too much interference.

275
00:16:00,522 --> 00:16:02,629
Shenzhou, do you copy?

276
00:16:04,303 --> 00:16:06,050
Data Collection Unit, are you there?

277
00:16:06,075 --> 00:16:07,825
Internal computer on line.

278
00:16:07,850 --> 00:16:10,355
Good. Mission time?

279
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,310
12 minutes, 58 seconds.

280
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:16,485
Plenty of time to take a peek.

281
00:16:16,510 --> 00:16:19,732
Even from this distance,
it's clearly not debris.

282
00:16:20,208 --> 00:16:23,488
12 minutes and 48 seconds until
maximum radiation exposure.

283
00:16:23,513 --> 00:16:25,286
The commander is less than ten
meters from the outermost

284
00:16:25,311 --> 00:16:26,951
edge of the scattering field.

285
00:16:27,405 --> 00:16:29,689
I can't remember who said sculptures are

286
00:16:29,714 --> 00:16:32,004
crystallized spirituality.

287
00:16:32,029 --> 00:16:33,751
Headlamp.

288
00:16:33,776 --> 00:16:34,866
But I see what they meant.

289
00:16:34,891 --> 00:16:36,851
This is Burnham in the blind.

290
00:16:36,876 --> 00:16:38,916
I'm above the object, which is old.

291
00:16:39,285 --> 00:16:41,485
Centuries old.

292
00:16:41,510 --> 00:16:45,522
It's difficult to tell if it
was constructed or carved.

293
00:16:46,285 --> 00:16:49,069
The only word to effectively
describe it is...

294
00:16:49,094 --> 00:16:51,594
wow.

295
00:16:52,325 --> 00:16:55,245
But I'll try to be more precise.

296
00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:57,285
Its surface has the appearance of stone

297
00:16:57,310 --> 00:17:00,100
with an exoskeleton of metal alloy.

298
00:17:02,765 --> 00:17:04,765
Incredibly intricate.

299
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:08,081
The construction and design are
nothing short of astounding.

300
00:17:08,735 --> 00:17:11,351
I wish you could see what I'm seeing.

301
00:17:11,376 --> 00:17:13,376
It is sublime.

302
00:17:16,945 --> 00:17:20,405
It's impossible to discern
a practical purpose.

303
00:17:20,813 --> 00:17:23,760
Going to land on it, get a closer look.

304
00:17:26,896 --> 00:17:28,856
Nice and easy.

305
00:17:31,998 --> 00:17:33,500
Hold on.

306
00:17:33,525 --> 00:17:36,735
My presence has triggered
some sort of motion response.

307
00:17:49,677 --> 00:17:54,271
Mission countdown: ten
minutes, 15 seconds.

308
00:17:56,201 --> 00:17:59,879
Warning. Proximity alert.

309
00:18:09,311 --> 00:18:11,788
Scanning for database recognition.

310
00:18:11,813 --> 00:18:15,209
Iconography confirmed: Klingon.

311
00:18:16,235 --> 00:18:18,682
I'm Commander Burnham

312
00:18:19,086 --> 00:18:20,716
of the United Federation of....

313
00:18:32,471 --> 00:18:34,301
Still no sign of Commander Burnham.

314
00:18:34,326 --> 00:18:35,746
Mission clock

315
00:18:35,771 --> 00:18:37,191
runs out in 15 seconds.

316
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:39,559
There's still too much interference.

317
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,571
Initiating...

318
00:18:40,596 --> 00:18:42,756
I have Number One.

319
00:18:42,781 --> 00:18:43,704
Telemetry only.

320
00:18:43,729 --> 00:18:45,017
Blood pressure is 70 and falling.

321
00:18:45,042 --> 00:18:46,020
She won't make it unless
we get her back now.

322
00:18:46,045 --> 00:18:47,215
Transporter Control.

323
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,454
Do we have her, Mr. Weeton?

324
00:18:48,479 --> 00:18:49,797
Pattern integrity's too weak, Captain.

325
00:18:49,822 --> 00:18:51,692
Saru, get a lock on her.
Boost her signal.

326
00:18:51,717 --> 00:18:53,767
Captain, there is no signal.

327
00:18:53,792 --> 00:18:55,308
You better get me a signal.

328
00:18:55,496 --> 00:18:57,366
Remotely fire her jetpack.

329
00:18:57,391 --> 00:18:58,765
She's off line.

330
00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:59,796
She's floating free.

331
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:01,180
Engineering. Tractor beam?

332
00:19:01,205 --> 00:19:03,335
Can't get a lock. We're
running manual calculations.

333
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:05,650
The scattering field is
still a problem, Captain.

334
00:19:05,675 --> 00:19:07,167
We can't transport her
until she clears it.

335
00:19:07,192 --> 00:19:08,884
She'll soon exhibit symptoms

336
00:19:08,909 --> 00:19:10,544
of acute radiation syndrome.

337
00:19:10,569 --> 00:19:12,674
She's not gonna last much longer.

338
00:19:12,699 --> 00:19:15,406
Hang on.

339
00:19:17,826 --> 00:19:21,370
Shenzhou, please respond.

340
00:19:21,395 --> 00:19:23,959
Commander Burnham?

341
00:19:23,984 --> 00:19:25,785
Commander, please respond.

342
00:19:25,810 --> 00:19:27,996
Control to Commander Burnham.

343
00:19:28,021 --> 00:19:29,851
Commander, do you read?

344
00:19:29,876 --> 00:19:31,297
Please respond.

345
00:21:32,032 --> 00:21:34,647
Pupil Burnham.

346
00:21:34,672 --> 00:21:36,023
Pupil Burnham.

347
00:21:38,227 --> 00:21:40,396
14 solar years.

348
00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:47,955
Klingon social order rests upon?

349
00:21:47,980 --> 00:21:50,103
Inviolable honor/shame dynamic.

350
00:21:50,128 --> 00:21:52,705
Correct. Klingon homeworld Qo'noS.

351
00:21:52,730 --> 00:21:54,545
Unwelcoming to the Federation.

352
00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:56,880
Correct. Klingon political order.

353
00:21:56,905 --> 00:21:58,210
24 great houses.

354
00:21:58,235 --> 00:22:02,695
Correct. Location of the most
recent Klingon terror raid.

355
00:22:03,790 --> 00:22:08,256
Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.

356
00:22:08,281 --> 00:22:11,740
Number of survivors at the
Human-Vulcan science outpost

357
00:22:11,765 --> 00:22:13,788
at Doctari Alpha.

358
00:22:14,042 --> 00:22:18,679
Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.

359
00:22:18,704 --> 00:22:21,204
Number of survivors at Doctari Alpha.

360
00:22:21,229 --> 00:22:22,283
No.

361
00:22:22,308 --> 00:22:23,776
Unacceptable response.

362
00:22:23,801 --> 00:22:25,585
- Number of survivors...
- Please.

363
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:30,098
Stop!

364
00:22:30,123 --> 00:22:32,623
Program paused.

365
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,526
Sarek.

366
00:22:38,551 --> 00:22:40,267
I'm sorry.

367
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:41,644
I can do better.

368
00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:44,425
When emotion brings us
ghosts from the past,

369
00:22:44,450 --> 00:22:47,433
only logic can root us in the present.

370
00:22:47,458 --> 00:22:49,498
Maybe I can try to learn Vulcan.

371
00:22:49,523 --> 00:22:51,855
To be quicker with my answers.

372
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,460
Your human tongue is not the problem.

373
00:22:54,485 --> 00:22:56,929
It is your human heart.

374
00:23:06,805 --> 00:23:09,475
Good. You're awake.

375
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:12,240
I was dreaming.

376
00:23:12,265 --> 00:23:13,770
Oh? What about?

377
00:23:14,114 --> 00:23:15,967
Klingons.

378
00:23:15,992 --> 00:23:18,753
How did I get here?

379
00:23:19,204 --> 00:23:21,945
We transported you back
aboard three hours ago.

380
00:23:22,198 --> 00:23:23,948
Three hours?

381
00:23:23,973 --> 00:23:26,324
Antiproton therapy regimen incomplete.

382
00:23:26,349 --> 00:23:28,636
- Commander, what are you doing?
- Session terminated prematurely.

383
00:23:28,661 --> 00:23:30,291
- Medical Emergency
- There's no time.

384
00:23:30,316 --> 00:23:32,707
Commander, wait. The
recombination process

385
00:23:32,732 --> 00:23:33,992
is nowhere near finished.

386
00:23:34,017 --> 00:23:36,075
I need you back in the
antiproton chamber.

387
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:38,680
Do you understand the effect
of genetic unspooling?

388
00:23:38,705 --> 00:23:40,075
You don't want to die that way.

389
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:41,495
Commander!

390
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,081
The binaries are kicking off

391
00:23:43,106 --> 00:23:44,930
serious QEs up and down the spectrum.

392
00:23:44,955 --> 00:23:46,255
Targeting gets hot, but I still

393
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,650
can't tell what I'm grabbing onto.

394
00:23:47,675 --> 00:23:49,367
I want to know what's out there, people.

395
00:23:49,392 --> 00:23:51,196
Okay, let's go around the
horn again, by the numbers.

396
00:23:51,226 --> 00:23:53,226
What's going on?

397
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,884
Number One, you should be in sickbay.

398
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:57,449
What...

399
00:23:57,628 --> 00:23:58,915
Have they made contact?

400
00:23:58,940 --> 00:24:00,412
Who's "they"?

401
00:24:00,437 --> 00:24:01,517
There are Klingons out there.

402
00:24:01,542 --> 00:24:02,832
We need to go to red alert.

403
00:24:02,857 --> 00:24:04,326
Michael.

404
00:24:06,162 --> 00:24:09,422
Almost no one has seen a
Klingon in a hundred years.

405
00:24:09,447 --> 00:24:11,527
I have. One attacked me on that object.

406
00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:13,020
Check my helmet cam.

407
00:24:13,045 --> 00:24:14,435
The footage was corrupted.

408
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:16,613
Internal sensors show that the
commander has entered the bridge

409
00:24:16,638 --> 00:24:17,928
in an irradiated state.

410
00:24:17,953 --> 00:24:19,230
Without immediate treatment,

411
00:24:19,255 --> 00:24:21,261
her condition will most
certainly be terminal.

412
00:24:21,286 --> 00:24:23,466
He was warrior caste.

413
00:24:23,491 --> 00:24:25,967
His-his EV suit bore a
Klingon house insignia.

414
00:24:25,992 --> 00:24:27,669
She also has a grade-three concussion.

415
00:24:27,694 --> 00:24:28,882
I'm not delusional.

416
00:24:28,907 --> 00:24:30,857
This has nothing to
do with a concussion.

417
00:24:30,882 --> 00:24:32,842
Philippa...

418
00:24:33,162 --> 00:24:36,603
there are Klingons.

419
00:24:39,985 --> 00:24:41,905
Red alert.

420
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:47,735
Tell me what happened.

421
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,470
He ambushed me.

422
00:24:49,507 --> 00:24:51,446
I hit my thruster pack to get away.

423
00:24:51,471 --> 00:24:53,811
I somehow knocked him into his blade.

424
00:24:53,903 --> 00:24:55,997
I killed him.

425
00:24:56,785 --> 00:24:59,499
But that object could be hiding
a Klingon raiding party,

426
00:24:59,524 --> 00:25:01,274
obscured behind that scattering field.

427
00:25:01,299 --> 00:25:03,174
If there are Klingons in this sector,

428
00:25:03,199 --> 00:25:06,092
they may be responsible for
the damage to our relay.

429
00:25:06,322 --> 00:25:08,577
If there are Klingons in this sector,

430
00:25:08,602 --> 00:25:10,261
we should withdraw immediately.

431
00:25:10,286 --> 00:25:12,305
This is Federation space.

432
00:25:12,330 --> 00:25:13,780
Retreat is not an option.

433
00:25:14,686 --> 00:25:17,056
Whatever is over there

434
00:25:17,081 --> 00:25:18,689
needs to show itself.

435
00:25:18,714 --> 00:25:21,606
If it's hiding Klingons,
we've got to flush them out.

436
00:25:21,792 --> 00:25:25,111
Target phase cannons on the object.

437
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:30,243
We cannot destroy another
culture's property on a whim.

438
00:25:30,268 --> 00:25:31,938
I didn't say anything
about destroying it.

439
00:25:31,963 --> 00:25:34,333
Let's make them think
we're going to attack.

440
00:25:34,358 --> 00:25:36,454
Target the object.

441
00:25:36,649 --> 00:25:38,769
We're locked on.

442
00:25:39,019 --> 00:25:40,518
Something is scanning us.

443
00:25:40,543 --> 00:25:42,794
They've detected our weapons signature.

444
00:25:43,058 --> 00:25:45,577
Wait.

445
00:25:57,855 --> 00:25:59,968
Impossible.

446
00:25:59,993 --> 00:26:02,033
No warp signatures detected, Captain.

447
00:26:02,213 --> 00:26:04,333
Then where did they come from?

448
00:26:04,403 --> 00:26:07,585
Mr. Gant, disengage
phase-cannon targeting.

449
00:26:08,553 --> 00:26:10,228
Number One, get to sickbay.

450
00:26:10,253 --> 00:26:12,873
I need you fixed up and
back on the bridge, stat.

451
00:26:12,992 --> 00:26:16,092
Mr. Januzzi, contact Starfleet Command.

452
00:26:16,117 --> 00:26:17,827
Send an encoded message.

453
00:26:17,852 --> 00:26:22,071
Tell them we have engaged the Klingons.

454
00:26:28,592 --> 00:26:30,132
Unidentified Klingon vessel,

455
00:26:30,157 --> 00:26:31,577
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.

456
00:26:31,602 --> 00:26:33,803
Please respond.

457
00:26:35,222 --> 00:26:36,802
Unidentified Klingon vessel,

458
00:26:36,827 --> 00:26:39,247
this is the Federation Starship
Shenzhou. Please respond.

459
00:29:57,755 --> 00:29:59,715
Unidentified Klingon vessel,

460
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:02,237
this is the Federation Starship
Shenzhou. Please respond.

461
00:30:02,262 --> 00:30:03,932
Unidentified Klingon vessel,

462
00:30:03,957 --> 00:30:05,393
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.

463
00:30:05,418 --> 00:30:07,628
Please respond.

464
00:30:08,095 --> 00:30:09,986
Is there any chance they can't hear us?

465
00:30:10,011 --> 00:30:12,048
You're transmitting on every
subspace channel there is.

466
00:30:12,073 --> 00:30:14,743
Your orders, Commander?

467
00:30:14,885 --> 00:30:16,135
Any response?

468
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,512
None.

469
00:30:17,537 --> 00:30:20,371
Commander, there is something

470
00:30:20,396 --> 00:30:22,590
I'd like to show you.

471
00:30:24,776 --> 00:30:29,026
Their hull is covered in hollow,
ornamental, metallic pods,

472
00:30:29,051 --> 00:30:30,842
thousands of them, tightly interlocked,

473
00:30:30,867 --> 00:30:34,247
forming a kind of... armor.

474
00:30:34,288 --> 00:30:36,077
Not the most efficient defense.

475
00:30:36,132 --> 00:30:39,842
I suspect its purpose is more
symbolic than practical.

476
00:30:40,325 --> 00:30:43,850
They contain Klingon biological material

477
00:30:43,875 --> 00:30:45,723
in various states of decay.

478
00:30:45,748 --> 00:30:47,497
Remote dating is wildly divergent.

479
00:30:47,522 --> 00:30:49,475
Some bones date back thousands of years,

480
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:50,725
others only hours old.

481
00:30:50,750 --> 00:30:54,265
Their entire ship is
covered with coffins.

482
00:30:54,290 --> 00:30:58,029
Commander, the captain listens to you.

483
00:30:58,054 --> 00:30:59,554
Tell her.

484
00:30:59,579 --> 00:31:02,614
We must withdraw.

485
00:31:03,267 --> 00:31:06,075
I'm afraid that's no longer possible.

486
00:31:10,334 --> 00:31:13,374
Your world has food chains.

487
00:31:13,399 --> 00:31:15,439
Mine does not.

488
00:31:15,464 --> 00:31:17,479
Our species map is binary.

489
00:31:17,504 --> 00:31:20,166
We are either predator or prey.

490
00:31:20,191 --> 00:31:21,981
My people were hunted.

491
00:31:22,006 --> 00:31:24,556
Bred. Farmed.

492
00:31:24,809 --> 00:31:26,800
We are your livestock of old.

493
00:31:26,825 --> 00:31:30,098
We were biologically
determined for one purpose

494
00:31:30,123 --> 00:31:31,886
and one purpose alone:

495
00:31:32,535 --> 00:31:35,573
to sense the coming of death.

496
00:31:37,687 --> 00:31:40,485
I sense it coming now.

497
00:31:44,781 --> 00:31:47,571
The Klingon flagship has a stealth mode.

498
00:31:47,596 --> 00:31:49,459
It's some kind of cloaking screen,

499
00:31:49,484 --> 00:31:51,718
unlike anything we've
ever seen, Admiral.

500
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:53,783
There may be more vessels
out there than we know.

501
00:31:53,848 --> 00:31:55,518
We've reached out with every form

502
00:31:55,543 --> 00:31:57,655
of friendship greeting Starfleet has.

503
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,814
They're blocking our hails.

504
00:31:58,839 --> 00:32:00,234
Uh, it feels like a setup.

505
00:32:00,259 --> 00:32:02,764
Maybe our relay got too
close for Klingon comfort,

506
00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:05,079
and they destroyed it
to lure us out here.

507
00:32:05,129 --> 00:32:06,589
You remember my first officer

508
00:32:06,614 --> 00:32:08,322
Michael Burnham?

509
00:32:08,347 --> 00:32:10,197
Next time, you might try not disturbing

510
00:32:10,222 --> 00:32:11,635
the property of a warrior race

511
00:32:11,660 --> 00:32:13,580
we've hardly spoken to
for a hundred years.

512
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,380
Our only choice now is to
navigate this situation

513
00:32:16,405 --> 00:32:18,064
with as much finesse as possible.

514
00:32:18,089 --> 00:32:20,067
Admiral, if I may.

515
00:32:23,032 --> 00:32:26,756
The ideal outcome for any
Klingon interaction is battle.

516
00:32:26,781 --> 00:32:29,451
They're relentlessly hostile, sir.

517
00:32:29,476 --> 00:32:30,806
It's in their nature.

518
00:32:30,831 --> 00:32:32,842
The Federation and the Klingon Empire

519
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:35,345
have always been on
the cold side of war.

520
00:32:35,392 --> 00:32:37,535
We've had only fleeting run-ins
with them for a century.

521
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,020
And now you presume

522
00:32:39,045 --> 00:32:40,455
to know their motivation

523
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,140
because it is "in their nature"?

524
00:32:42,165 --> 00:32:43,770
Considering your
background, I would think

525
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:46,260
you're the last person to make
assumptions based on race.

526
00:32:46,285 --> 00:32:49,325
With respect, it would be unwise
to confuse race and culture.

527
00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:52,270
The Europa and all fleet
vessels within range

528
00:32:52,295 --> 00:32:54,100
will be at your
coordinates in two hours.

529
00:32:54,125 --> 00:32:55,065
Hold your position.

530
00:32:55,090 --> 00:32:57,575
Do nothing absent
provocation, understood?

531
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,089
Understood, Admiral.

532
00:32:59,114 --> 00:33:01,462
Signal terminated.

533
00:33:01,487 --> 00:33:04,396
That went well.

534
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,560
What's the mood outside?

535
00:33:06,585 --> 00:33:09,434
Saru is the only one talking.

536
00:33:09,459 --> 00:33:13,299
He strongly believes
we should about-face.

537
00:33:13,579 --> 00:33:16,279
There is a space station
at Eagle-Twelve,

538
00:33:16,304 --> 00:33:17,665
three light-years away.

539
00:33:17,690 --> 00:33:20,726
The Andorian colony at
Gamma-Hydra is six.

540
00:33:20,751 --> 00:33:24,161
Shenzhou is their only line of
defense if the Klingons attack.

541
00:33:24,186 --> 00:33:26,465
Not if... when.

542
00:33:26,490 --> 00:33:29,370
I have to hope that
whatever happens here

543
00:33:29,395 --> 00:33:31,890
can serve as a bridge
between our civilizations.

544
00:33:31,915 --> 00:33:34,892
That's the diplomat in you talking.

545
00:33:35,010 --> 00:33:37,260
What does the soldier say?

546
00:33:39,085 --> 00:33:41,565
Nothing good.

547
00:33:44,180 --> 00:33:45,970
Captain to the bridge.

548
00:33:47,242 --> 00:33:48,662
Status?

549
00:33:48,687 --> 00:33:51,063
Massive photonic activity on
the Klingon object, Captain.

550
00:33:51,088 --> 00:33:53,141
Output is over one billion
lumens per square meter.

551
00:33:53,166 --> 00:33:54,336
Optical sensors overloading.

552
00:33:54,361 --> 00:33:55,803
Bring plasmatic filters on line.

553
00:33:55,828 --> 00:33:57,577
Rerouting power.

554
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:58,969
Is that a weapon?

555
00:33:58,994 --> 00:34:02,016
It seems to be some
sort of signal emitter.

556
00:34:02,748 --> 00:34:04,748
Where are my filters?

557
00:34:04,773 --> 00:34:06,523
They're at 100%, Captain.

558
00:34:19,403 --> 00:34:23,048
Initiating emergency shutdown.

559
00:34:23,073 --> 00:34:24,222
That noise is some kind of

560
00:34:24,247 --> 00:34:25,487
electromagnetic subspace wave-form.

561
00:34:25,512 --> 00:34:26,892
Narrowing channel range.

562
00:34:26,917 --> 00:34:28,473
Adjusting orientation
to minimize dispersal.

563
00:34:28,498 --> 00:34:29,628
Somebody turn it down.

564
00:34:29,653 --> 00:34:30,966
Aye, Captain.

565
00:34:30,991 --> 00:34:32,835
- All the way down.
- Acoustics are muted.

566
00:34:32,860 --> 00:34:35,994
That's the ship's superstructure
in sympathetic vibration.

567
00:34:36,456 --> 00:34:38,116
It's a signal pulse.

568
00:34:38,141 --> 00:34:39,761
Is there a message?

569
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:41,232
This may be the message.

570
00:34:41,257 --> 00:34:43,895
Captain, what if they're calling
for the same thing we are?

571
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:45,865
Backup.

572
00:34:45,890 --> 00:34:48,210
Long-range sensors to the maximum, Saru.

573
00:34:48,235 --> 00:34:49,615
If more Klingons are on their way,

574
00:34:49,795 --> 00:34:51,736
I want as much notice as possible.

575
00:34:51,761 --> 00:34:53,301
Permission to leave the bridge, Captain?

576
00:34:53,326 --> 00:34:55,996
- Are you kidding?
- It's relevant.

577
00:34:56,635 --> 00:34:58,324
Granted.

578
00:34:58,349 --> 00:35:01,310
Ensign, get me a status
report, deck by deck.

579
00:35:01,335 --> 00:35:02,455
Aye, Captain.

580
00:35:03,532 --> 00:35:05,412
Computer.

581
00:35:05,452 --> 00:35:06,532
Working.

582
00:35:06,557 --> 00:35:09,267
Open dedicated subspace channel 222AA7.

583
00:35:09,292 --> 00:35:10,861
Use of this frequency requires

584
00:35:10,886 --> 00:35:13,189
- diplomatic authorization.
- Voiceprint authorize.

585
00:35:13,214 --> 00:35:15,660
Burnham... Michael.

586
00:35:15,685 --> 00:35:17,377
Confirmed.

587
00:35:17,571 --> 00:35:19,071
Commander Burnham.

588
00:35:19,096 --> 00:35:20,720
Hello, Sarek.

589
00:35:20,745 --> 00:35:21,791
I'm happy to see you.

590
00:35:21,816 --> 00:35:23,186
So many years.

591
00:35:23,211 --> 00:35:25,224
And still you allow
emotional considerations

592
00:35:25,249 --> 00:35:26,669
to impede your logic.

593
00:35:26,694 --> 00:35:29,441
They inform my logic.

594
00:35:30,436 --> 00:35:32,567
I need your help.

595
00:35:32,592 --> 00:35:35,499
I assume the timing of the
call was not coincidental.

596
00:35:35,524 --> 00:35:38,390
The quadrant reports a
new star in the sky.

597
00:35:39,766 --> 00:35:42,846
What have you done out there, on
the edge of Federation space?

598
00:35:42,871 --> 00:35:44,961
We've encountered the Klingons.

599
00:35:44,986 --> 00:35:48,526
How rare to meet one's
own demons in the flesh.

600
00:35:48,551 --> 00:35:50,551
I killed one.

601
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:55,040
In light of the fact that
they killed your parents,

602
00:35:55,065 --> 00:35:58,195
some might think that only fair.

603
00:35:58,220 --> 00:35:59,908
However,

604
00:35:59,933 --> 00:36:02,457
if a death was necessary,

605
00:36:02,482 --> 00:36:05,584
I am satisfied it was not yours.

606
00:36:06,866 --> 00:36:09,996
I'm most certain you did not
call me for emotional solace.

607
00:36:10,021 --> 00:36:11,851
We're facing off.

608
00:36:11,876 --> 00:36:13,956
No fire has been exchanged.

609
00:36:14,117 --> 00:36:15,997
But they didn't turn on that beacon

610
00:36:16,022 --> 00:36:18,182
until Starfleet was on
its way to our position.

611
00:36:18,207 --> 00:36:20,432
I think they're summoning
more of their kind.

612
00:36:20,457 --> 00:36:22,855
An odd proposition given
that their empire

613
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,840
has been in disarray for generations.

614
00:36:24,865 --> 00:36:27,455
But you are describing
something out of the ordinary.

615
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,270
Restraint in the face of conflict.

616
00:36:30,295 --> 00:36:33,486
When a civilization acts in
opposition to its instincts,

617
00:36:33,511 --> 00:36:37,391
it may be under the influence
of something, or someone, new.

618
00:36:37,783 --> 00:36:41,584
Great unifiers are few and far between,

619
00:36:41,609 --> 00:36:43,789
but they do come.

620
00:36:43,814 --> 00:36:47,274
Often, such leaders will
need a profound cause

621
00:36:47,299 --> 00:36:49,299
for their followers to rally around.

622
00:36:49,324 --> 00:36:50,984
A war.

623
00:36:51,483 --> 00:36:54,693
Be very careful that your assumptions

624
00:36:54,718 --> 00:36:58,303
are not being driven by your past.

625
00:36:58,328 --> 00:37:00,908
This isn't about what happened, Sarek.

626
00:37:00,933 --> 00:37:03,223
It's what's happening now.

627
00:37:04,952 --> 00:37:07,497
How did the Vulcans achieve
diplomatic relations

628
00:37:07,522 --> 00:37:08,902
with the Klingons?

629
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:11,161
That is a solution particular to us.

630
00:37:11,186 --> 00:37:14,404
One cannot assume it would work
on a ship commanded by humans.

631
00:37:14,429 --> 00:37:18,193
Sarek... please.

632
00:37:18,218 --> 00:37:21,468
I caution you, be considered

633
00:37:21,493 --> 00:37:24,112
with how you use this information.

634
00:37:24,137 --> 00:37:26,707
You cannot save lives that
have already been lost.

635
00:37:26,732 --> 00:37:28,102
Tell me.

636
00:37:28,127 --> 00:37:31,378
How did you keep the Klingons at bay?

637
00:37:32,686 --> 00:37:35,186
Engineering, report.

638
00:37:35,211 --> 00:37:36,322
Internal damage, negative.

639
00:37:36,347 --> 00:37:37,667
Core is 100%.

640
00:37:37,691 --> 00:37:39,572
Captain, we have to fire on them.

641
00:37:39,597 --> 00:37:41,135
Hit that ship with everything we've got.

642
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,744
Absolutely not. They
haven't powered weapons.

643
00:37:43,769 --> 00:37:45,878
They don't appear to
pose an imminent threat.

644
00:37:45,903 --> 00:37:48,332
The Klingon threat is always
imminent and inevitable.

645
00:37:48,357 --> 00:37:50,517
- Tactical log's ready.
- Thank you, Mr. Gant.

646
00:37:50,542 --> 00:37:53,942
I'd like to remind you,
we're wildly outgunned.

647
00:37:54,229 --> 00:37:56,904
240 years ago, near H'Atoria,

648
00:37:56,929 --> 00:37:58,929
a Vulcan ship crossed
into Klingon space.

649
00:37:58,979 --> 00:38:00,908
The Klingons attacked immediately.

650
00:38:00,933 --> 00:38:02,743
They destroyed the vessel.

651
00:38:02,768 --> 00:38:05,268
Vulcans don't make the
same mistake twice.

652
00:38:05,293 --> 00:38:07,953
From then on, until formal
relations were established,

653
00:38:07,978 --> 00:38:10,127
whenever the Vulcans crossed
paths with Klingons,

654
00:38:10,152 --> 00:38:12,352
the Vulcans fired first.

655
00:38:12,377 --> 00:38:15,420
They said "hello" in a language
the Klingons understood.

656
00:38:15,445 --> 00:38:17,235
Violence brought respect.

657
00:38:17,260 --> 00:38:19,170
Respect brought peace.

658
00:38:19,356 --> 00:38:23,196
Captain. We have to give the
Klingons a Vulcan "hello."

659
00:38:23,221 --> 00:38:25,482
If their intention is to attack,

660
00:38:25,674 --> 00:38:29,102
balling up our fists
won't dissuade them.

661
00:38:32,105 --> 00:38:34,145
It would be logical for
you to take into account

662
00:38:34,170 --> 00:38:36,947
my success rate during our
seven years together,

663
00:38:36,972 --> 00:38:39,126
and execute my plan
without further challenge

664
00:38:39,151 --> 00:38:40,893
before we're dragged into war.

665
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:43,338
Starfleet doesn't fire first.

666
00:38:43,385 --> 00:38:44,925
That's all, Number One.

667
00:38:44,957 --> 00:38:46,495
We have to.

668
00:38:49,450 --> 00:38:52,876
In my ready room. Now.

669
00:38:53,842 --> 00:38:55,829
Lieutenant Commander,
you have the bridge.

670
00:38:55,854 --> 00:38:58,141
Yes, Captain.

671
00:39:01,997 --> 00:39:03,390
Computer, privacy.

672
00:39:03,415 --> 00:39:04,297
Captain...

673
00:39:04,322 --> 00:39:06,412
How dare you challenge me?

674
00:39:06,730 --> 00:39:09,382
I apologize for my insubordination.

675
00:39:09,407 --> 00:39:12,270
Don't you realize that kind of
talk can destabilize a crew?

676
00:39:12,295 --> 00:39:13,835
Don't underestimate them.

677
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:15,203
I've overseen their exercises;

678
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:16,493
they're ready for battle.

679
00:39:16,518 --> 00:39:18,449
Battle is not a simulation.

680
00:39:18,474 --> 00:39:23,514
It's blood and screams and funerals.

681
00:39:23,539 --> 00:39:25,412
I taught you better than this.

682
00:39:25,437 --> 00:39:27,415
We don't start shooting on a hunch,

683
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,060
and we don't take
innocent lives. Period.

684
00:39:30,572 --> 00:39:33,032
I understand your history
with the Klingons.

685
00:39:33,057 --> 00:39:34,402
My commitment to this course of action

686
00:39:34,427 --> 00:39:35,767
is not emotional.

687
00:39:35,792 --> 00:39:38,332
We target its neck, cut off its head...

688
00:39:38,357 --> 00:39:39,618
You're still injured.

689
00:39:39,643 --> 00:39:41,228
- You're not thinking clearly...
- Thousands of lives will be

690
00:39:41,253 --> 00:39:43,094
- lost because of failure to act.
- Whose lives?

691
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,204
Victims of your imaginary war?

692
00:39:45,237 --> 00:39:47,595
And your life, Captain.

693
00:39:48,379 --> 00:39:50,478
Yours.

694
00:39:52,304 --> 00:39:55,054
Stand down, Commander Burnham.

695
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:57,057
That's an order.

696
00:39:58,461 --> 00:40:01,572
You're right.

697
00:40:03,039 --> 00:40:05,369
I may not be myself.

698
00:40:09,660 --> 00:40:12,280
Easy, Michael.

699
00:40:17,125 --> 00:40:19,545
I'm sorry.

700
00:40:24,276 --> 00:40:26,385
You're relieved, Mr. Saru.

701
00:40:26,419 --> 00:40:28,039
Where is the captain?

702
00:40:28,485 --> 00:40:30,275
I provided her with Klingon intel

703
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:31,861
from a personal source on Vulcan.

704
00:40:31,886 --> 00:40:33,346
She's passing it to the admiral.

705
00:40:33,371 --> 00:40:35,936
Weapons, slot a pair of
photon torpedoes in the tubes

706
00:40:35,961 --> 00:40:37,241
and compute a firing solution

707
00:40:37,266 --> 00:40:39,061
targeting the neck of that Klingon ship.

708
00:40:39,086 --> 00:40:41,166
Is the plan to fire on
the Klingons, Commander?

709
00:40:41,191 --> 00:40:44,488
We have to be ready in case
that's what the captain decides.

710
00:40:44,787 --> 00:40:47,497
Are you acting on the captain's orders?

711
00:40:47,522 --> 00:40:49,432
I'm your superior officer.

712
00:40:49,457 --> 00:40:51,957
We are in a high-risk scenario.

713
00:40:51,982 --> 00:40:54,755
Question chain of command
again and I'll remove you.

714
00:40:55,004 --> 00:40:57,003
Commander. It's just...

715
00:40:57,204 --> 00:40:59,204
Your breathing is elevated.

716
00:40:59,229 --> 00:41:00,934
Perspiration's visible at your hairline.

717
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:02,539
I fear what you are doing

718
00:41:02,564 --> 00:41:04,184
betrays the wishes of our captain.

719
00:41:04,209 --> 00:41:06,095
Target phasers.

720
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,536
Take your station, Commander.

721
00:41:07,561 --> 00:41:08,916
This is mutiny.

722
00:41:08,941 --> 00:41:12,017
Move, Saru. Tactical.

723
00:41:12,042 --> 00:41:13,239
We're locked on.

724
00:41:13,264 --> 00:41:14,130
Fire!

725
00:41:14,155 --> 00:41:16,897
Belay that order!

726
00:41:16,922 --> 00:41:18,802
Captain, please.

727
00:41:18,827 --> 00:41:20,787
I'm trying to save you.

728
00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:22,682
I'm trying to save all of you.

729
00:41:25,405 --> 00:41:27,906
