Let's get more specific.

196
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:33,100
I'm unable to bring it into focus.

Almost directly below us.

202
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:46,316
It's in a sensor dead zone.

203
00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:48,982
Some kind of scattering field is
confounding the ship's ability

204
00:10:49,007 --> 00:10:50,418
to translate the image.

205
00:10:50,443 --> 00:10:52,320
As science officer,

206
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:55,991
I can provide a far more
concrete and in-depth analysis

207
00:10:56,048 --> 00:10:58,361
than simply reading data off a monitor.

208
00:10:58,386 --> 00:11:02,394
But considering it's scrambling
our optical processors,

209
00:11:02,419 --> 00:11:04,769
how are we going to be able to see it?

210
00:11:08,666 --> 00:11:10,666
Thoughts, Number One?

211
00:11:11,221 --> 00:11:14,891
With such little data, I'd
prefer not to speculate.

212
00:11:14,916 --> 00:11:17,416
Oh, I will. It's lurking.

213
00:11:17,508 --> 00:11:19,626
The scattering field it's
emitting suggests intent.

214
00:11:19,651 --> 00:11:21,216
We see something we don't understand

215
00:11:21,241 --> 00:11:22,454
and instantly cast judgment?

216
00:11:22,479 --> 00:11:23,805
Maybe it's lost.

217
00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:25,876
Maybe it's afraid to
show us its whole self.

218
00:11:25,901 --> 00:11:29,191
Hiding, but maybe hoping to be found.

219
00:11:30,443 --> 00:11:32,943
Here we are, speculating.

220
00:11:32,968 --> 00:11:37,858
I respectfully recommend
we leave it alone.

221
00:11:37,883 --> 00:11:40,133
GEORGIOU: <i>I'm not sure
we have much choice.</i>

222
00:11:40,158 --> 00:11:42,982
We can't lock on to it, and
we don't have a shuttle

223
00:11:43,007 --> 00:11:45,023

to navigate the ring.

224
00:11:45,048 --> 00:11:46,795
I'll go.

225
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:48,584

228

231

232
00:12:00,262 --> 00:12:01,338
resources. What will be gained?

233
00:12:01,363 --> 00:12:02,791

234
00:12:02,816 --> 00:12:05,120
of everything means you learn nothing.

235
00:12:05,145 --> 00:12:07,445
There's no opportunity to discover,

00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:09,220
- to explore.

we were doing a deep-space

commander has entered the bridge

501
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,490
in an irradiated state.

502
00:24:17,515 --> 00:24:18,792
Without immediate treatment,

503
00:24:18,817 --> 00:24:20,823
her condition will most
certainly be terminal.

504
00:24:20,848 --> 00:24:23,028
He was warrior caste.

505
00:24:23,053 --> 00:24:25,911
His-his EV suit bore a
Klingon house insignia.

506
00:24:25,936 --> 00:24:27,613
She also has a grade-three concussion.

507
00:24:27,638 --> 00:24:28,826
I'm not delusional.

508
00:24:28,851 --> 00:24:30,493
This has nothing to
do with a concussion.

509
00:24:30,826 --> 00:24:31,934
Philippa...

510
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,986

514
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:48,816
He ambushed me.

515
00:24:49,147 --> 00:24:51,086
I hit my thruster pack to get away.

516
00:24:51,111 --> 00:24:53,018
I somehow knocked him into his blade.

517
00:24:53,815 --> 00:24:55,146
I killed him.

518
00:24:56,953 --> 00:24:59,304
But that object could be hiding
a Klingon raiding party,

522
00:25:06,103 --> 00:25:08,063
If there are Klingons in this sector,

523
00:25:08,063 --> 00:25:10,055
we should withdraw immediately.

531
00:25:30,103 --> 00:25:31,773
I didn't say anything
about destroying it.

we're going to attack.

GANT: We're locked on.

535
00:25:38,854 --> 00:25:40,353
Something is scanning us.

536
00:25:40,378 --> 00:25:42,629
They've detected our weapons signature.

I'd like to show you.

624
00:30:23,291 --> 00:30:27,541
Their hull is covered in hollow,
ornamental, metallic pods,

625

thousands of them, tightly interlocked,

626

forming a kind of... armor.

Maybe our relay got too
close for Klingon comfort,

659
00:32:01,272 --> 00:32:03,562
and they destroyed it
to lure us out here.

660

Our only choice now is to

668
00:32:21,515 --> 00:32:25,239

669

00:32:31,232 --> 00:32:33,710
have always been on
the cold side of war.

673
00:32:33,757 --> 00:32:36,382
We've had only fleeting run-ins
with them for a century.

674
00:32:36,407 --> 00:32:37,385
And now you presume

675
00:32:37,410 --> 00:32:38,820
to know their motivation

676
00:32:38,845 --> 00:32:40,505
because it is "in their nature"?

677
00:32:40,818 --> 00:32:42,341
Considering your
background, I would think

678
00:32:42,341 --> 00:32:44,806
you're the last person to make
assumptions based on race.

679
00:32:44,831 --> 00:32:47,788
With respect, it would be unwise
to confuse race and culture.

680
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:50,708
The<i> Europa</i> and all fleet
vessels within range

681
00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:52,538
will be at your
coordinates in two hours.

682
00:32:52,563 --> 00:32:53,503
Hold your position.

683
00:32:53,528 --> 00:32:56,013
Do nothing absent
provocation, understood?

684
00:32:56,038 --> 00:32:57,527
Understood, Admiral.

685
00:32:57,552 --> 00:32:59,900
COMPUTER: Signal terminated.

686
00:33:00,591 --> 00:33:01,760
That went well.

687
00:33:03,969 --> 00:33:05,080
What's the mood outside?

688
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:07,285
Saru is the only one talking.

689
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:11,454
He strongly believes
we should about-face.

690
00:33:12,273 --> 00:33:14,973
There is a space station
at Eagle-Twelve,

691
00:33:14,998 --> 00:33:16,359
three light-years away.

692
00:33:16,384 --> 00:33:19,420
The Andorian colony at
Gamma-Hydra is six.

693
00:33:19,445 --> 00:33:22,579
<i>Shenzhou</i> is their only line of
defense if the Klingons attack.

694
00:33:22,579 --> 00:33:24,858
Not if... when.

695
00:33:24,883 --> 00:33:27,763
I have to hope that
whatever happens here

696
00:33:27,788 --> 00:33:30,710
can serve as a bridge
between our civilizations.

697
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:32,910
That's the diplomat in you talking.

698
00:33:33,776 --> 00:33:35,731
What does the soldier say?

699
00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:39,462
Nothing good.

700
00:33:43,064 --> 00:33:44,854
SARU (ON COMMS): Captain to the bridge.

701
00:33:46,435 --> 00:33:47,109
Status?

702
00:33:47,109 --> 00:33:49,485
Massive photonic activity on
the Klingon object, Captain.

703
00:33:49,511 --> 00:33:51,564
Output is over one billion
lumens per square meter.

704
00:33:51,589 --> 00:33:52,759
CONNOR: Optical sensors overloading.

705
00:33:52,784 --> 00:33:54,226
GEORGIOU: Bring plasmatic
filters on line.

706
00:33:54,251 --> 00:33:56,000
CONNOR: Rerouting power.

707
00:33:56,025 --> 00:33:57,392
GEORGIOU: Is that a weapon?

708
00:33:57,417 --> 00:34:00,439
It seems to be some
sort of signal emitter.

709
00:34:01,856 --> 00:34:03,320
Where are my filters?

710
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,070
CONNOR: They're at 100%, Captain.

711
00:34:05,095 --> 00:34:07,095
(HIGH-PITCHED SOUND GROWING LOUDER)

712
00:34:08,015 --> 00:34:11,268
(HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

713
00:34:17,059 --> 00:34:19,997
- (HIGH-PITCHED RINGING CONTINUES)
- CONNOR: Initiating emergency shutdown.

714
00:34:20,193 --> 00:34:21,342
That noise is some kind of

715
00:34:21,367 --> 00:34:22,607
electromagnetic subspace wave-form.

716
00:34:22,632 --> 00:34:24,012
Narrowing channel range.

717
00:34:24,037 --> 00:34:25,593
Adjusting orientation
to minimize dispersal.

718
00:34:25,618 --> 00:34:26,748
Somebody turn it down.

719
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,086
Aye, Captain.

720
00:34:28,111 --> 00:34:29,955
- All the way down.
- SARU: Acoustics are muted.

721
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:33,114
That's the ship's superstructure
in sympathetic vibration.

722
00:34:33,576 --> 00:34:35,236
It's a signal pulse.

723
00:34:35,261 --> 00:34:36,881
Is there a message?

724
00:34:36,906 --> 00:34:38,352
This may be the message.

725
00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:41,015
Captain, what if they're calling
for the same thing we are?

726
00:34:42,090 --> 00:34:42,767
Backup.

727
00:34:43,057 --> 00:34:45,377
Long-range sensors to the maximum, Saru.

728
00:34:45,402 --> 00:34:46,782
If more Klingons are on their way,

729
00:34:46,962 --> 00:34:48,903
I want as much notice as possible.

730
00:34:48,928 --> 00:34:50,468
Permission to leave the bridge, Captain?

731
00:34:50,493 --> 00:34:52,752
- Are you kidding?
- It's relevant.

732
00:34:54,345 --> 00:34:55,192
Granted.

733
00:34:55,513 --> 00:34:58,474
Ensign, get me a status
report, deck by deck.

734
00:34:58,500 --> 00:34:59,620
Aye, Captain.

735
00:35:01,669 --> 00:35:02,483
Computer.

736
00:35:02,671 --> 00:35:03,751
COMPUTER: Working.

737
00:35:03,776 --> 00:35:06,486
Open dedicated subspace channel 222AA7.

738
00:35:06,511 --> 00:35:08,080
COMPUTER: Use of this frequency requires

739
00:35:08,105 --> 00:35:10,408
- diplomatic authorization.
- Voiceprint authorize.

740
00:35:10,433 --> 00:35:12,879
Burnham... Michael.

741
00:35:12,904 --> 00:35:14,127
COMPUTER: Confirmed.

742
00:35:15,366 --> 00:35:16,432
Commander Burnham.

743
00:35:16,432 --> 00:35:17,549
Hello, Sarek.

744
00:35:17,754 --> 00:35:18,800
I'm happy to see you.

745
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:20,195
So many years.

746
00:35:20,220 --> 00:35:22,592
And still you allow
emotional considerations

747
00:35:22,617 --> 00:35:24,037
to impede your logic.

748
00:35:24,062 --> 00:35:26,809
They inform my logic.

749
00:35:28,132 --> 00:35:29,561
I need your help.

750
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,707
I assume the timing of the
call was not coincidental.

751
00:35:32,732 --> 00:35:35,598
The quadrant reports a
new star in the sky.

752
00:35:36,974 --> 00:35:40,054
What have you done out there, on
the edge of Federation space?

753
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,169
We've encountered the Klingons.

754
00:35:42,194 --> 00:35:45,734
How rare to meet one's
own demons in the flesh.

755
00:35:45,759 --> 00:35:47,759
I killed one.

756
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:52,248
In light of the fact that
they killed your parents,

757
00:35:52,273 --> 00:35:55,403
some might think that only fair.

758
00:35:55,428 --> 00:35:57,116
However,

759
00:35:57,141 --> 00:35:59,665
if a death was necessary,

760
00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:02,792
I am satisfied it was not yours.

761
00:36:04,074 --> 00:36:07,204
I'm most certain you did not
call me for emotional solace.

762
00:36:07,229 --> 00:36:09,059
We're facing off.

763
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:11,164
No fire has been exchanged.

764
00:36:11,325 --> 00:36:13,205
But they didn't turn on that beacon

765
00:36:13,230 --> 00:36:15,390
until Starfleet was on
its way to our position.

766
00:36:15,415 --> 00:36:17,640
I think they're summoning
more of their kind.

767
00:36:17,665 --> 00:36:20,063
An odd proposition given
that their empire

768
00:36:20,088 --> 00:36:22,048
has been in disarray for generations.

769
00:36:22,073 --> 00:36:24,663
But you are describing
something out of the ordinary.

770
00:36:24,688 --> 00:36:27,478
Restraint in the face of conflict.

771
00:36:27,503 --> 00:36:30,694
When a civilization acts in
opposition to its instincts,

772
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,599
it may be under the influence
of something, or someone, new.

773
00:36:34,991 --> 00:36:38,792
Great unifiers are few and far between,

774
00:36:38,817 --> 00:36:40,997
but they do come.

775
00:36:41,022 --> 00:36:44,482
Often, such leaders will
need a profound cause

776
00:36:44,507 --> 00:36:46,507
for their followers to rally around.

777
00:36:46,532 --> 00:36:48,192
A war.

778
00:36:48,691 --> 00:36:51,901
Be very careful that your assumptions

779
00:36:51,926 --> 00:36:55,511
are not being driven by your past.

780
00:36:55,536 --> 00:36:58,116
This isn't about what happened, Sarek.

781
00:36:58,141 --> 00:37:00,431
It's what's happening now.

782
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,705
How did the Vulcans achieve
diplomatic relations

783
00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:06,110
with the Klingons?

784
00:37:06,135 --> 00:37:08,369
That is a solution particular to us.

785
00:37:08,394 --> 00:37:11,612
One cannot assume it would work
on a ship commanded by humans.

786
00:37:11,637 --> 00:37:15,401
Sarek... please.

787
00:37:15,426 --> 00:37:18,676
I caution you, be considered

788
00:37:18,701 --> 00:37:21,320
with how you use this information.

789
00:37:21,345 --> 00:37:23,915
You cannot save lives that
have already been lost.

790
00:37:23,940 --> 00:37:25,310
Tell me.

791
00:37:25,335 --> 00:37:28,586
How did you keep the Klingons at bay?

792
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:32,394
GEORGIOU: Engineering, report.

793
00:37:32,419 --> 00:37:33,530
Internal damage, negative.

794
00:37:33,555 --> 00:37:34,875
Core is 100%.

795
00:37:34,899 --> 00:37:36,780
Captain, we have to fire on them.

796
00:37:36,805 --> 00:37:38,343
Hit that ship with everything we've got.

797
00:37:38,368 --> 00:37:40,952
GEORGIOU: Absolutely not.
They haven't powered weapons.

798
00:37:40,977 --> 00:37:43,086
They don't appear to
pose an imminent threat.

799
00:37:43,111 --> 00:37:45,540
The Klingon threat is always
imminent and inevitable.

800
00:37:45,565 --> 00:37:47,725
- Tactical log's ready.
- Thank you, Mr. Gant.

801
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:51,150
I'd like to remind you,
we're wildly outgunned.

802
00:37:51,437 --> 00:37:54,112
240 years ago, near H'Atoria,

803
00:37:54,137 --> 00:37:56,137
a Vulcan ship crossed
into Klingon space.

804
00:37:56,187 --> 00:37:58,116
The Klingons attacked immediately.

805
00:37:58,141 --> 00:37:59,951
They destroyed the vessel.

806
00:37:59,976 --> 00:38:02,476
Vulcans don't make the
same mistake twice.

807
00:38:02,501 --> 00:38:05,161
From then on, until formal
relations were established,

808
00:38:05,186 --> 00:38:07,335
whenever the Vulcans crossed
paths with Klingons,

809
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,560
the Vulcans fired first.

810
00:38:09,585 --> 00:38:12,628
They said "hello" in a language
the Klingons understood.

811
00:38:12,653 --> 00:38:14,443
Violence brought respect.

812
00:38:14,468 --> 00:38:16,378
Respect brought peace.

813
00:38:16,564 --> 00:38:20,404
Captain. We have to give the
Klingons a Vulcan "hello."

814
00:38:20,429 --> 00:38:22,690
If their intention is to attack,

815
00:38:22,882 --> 00:38:26,310
balling up our fists
won't dissuade them.

816
00:38:29,313 --> 00:38:31,353
It would be logical for
you to take into account

817
00:38:31,378 --> 00:38:34,155
my success rate during our
seven years together,

818
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:36,334
and execute my plan
without further challenge

819
00:38:36,359 --> 00:38:38,101
before we're dragged into war.

820
00:38:38,126 --> 00:38:40,546
Starfleet doesn't fire first.

821
00:38:40,593 --> 00:38:42,133
That's all, Number One.

822
00:38:42,158 --> 00:38:43,696
We have to.

823
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:50,084
In my ready room. Now.

824
00:38:51,050 --> 00:38:53,037
Lieutenant Commander,
you have the bridge.

825
00:38:53,062 --> 00:38:55,349
SARU: Yes, Captain.

826
00:38:59,205 --> 00:39:00,598
Computer, privacy.

827
00:39:00,623 --> 00:39:01,505
Captain...

828
00:39:01,530 --> 00:39:03,620
How dare you challenge me?

829
00:39:03,938 --> 00:39:06,590
I apologize for my insubordination.

830
00:39:06,615 --> 00:39:09,478
Don't you realize that kind of
talk can destabilize a crew?

831
00:39:09,503 --> 00:39:11,043
Don't underestimate them.

832
00:39:11,068 --> 00:39:12,411
I've overseen their exercises;

833
00:39:12,436 --> 00:39:13,701
they're ready for battle.

834
00:39:13,726 --> 00:39:15,657
Battle is not a simulation.

835
00:39:15,682 --> 00:39:20,722
It's blood and screams and funerals.

836
00:39:20,747 --> 00:39:22,620
I taught you better than this.

837
00:39:22,645 --> 00:39:24,623
We don't start shooting on a hunch,

838
00:39:24,648 --> 00:39:27,268
and we don't take
innocent lives. Period.

839
00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:30,240
I understand your history
with the Klingons.

840
00:39:30,265 --> 00:39:31,610
My commitment to this course of action

841
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:32,975
is not emotional.

842
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,540
We target its neck, cut off its head...

843
00:39:35,565 --> 00:39:36,826
You're still injured.

844
00:39:36,851 --> 00:39:38,436
- You're not thinking clearly...
- Thousands of lives will be

845
00:39:38,461 --> 00:39:40,302
- lost because of failure to act.
- Whose lives?

846
00:39:40,327 --> 00:39:42,412
Victims of<i> your</i> imaginary war?

847
00:39:42,445 --> 00:39:44,803
And your life, Captain.

848
00:39:45,587 --> 00:39:47,686
Yours.

849
00:39:49,512 --> 00:39:52,262
Stand down, Commander Burnham.

850
00:39:52,287 --> 00:39:54,265
That's an order.

851
00:39:55,669 --> 00:39:58,780
You're right.

852
00:40:00,247 --> 00:40:02,577
I may not be myself.

853
00:40:06,868 --> 00:40:09,488
Easy, Michael.

854
00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:16,753
I'm sorry.

855
00:40:21,484 --> 00:40:23,593
You're relieved, Mr. Saru.

856
00:40:23,627 --> 00:40:25,247
Where is the captain?

857
00:40:25,693 --> 00:40:27,483
I provided her with Klingon intel

858
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,069
from a personal source on Vulcan.

859
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:30,554
She's passing it to the admiral.

860
00:40:30,579 --> 00:40:33,144
Weapons, slot a pair of
photon torpedoes in the tubes

861
00:40:33,169 --> 00:40:34,449
and compute a firing solution

862
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:36,269
targeting the neck of that Klingon ship.

863
00:40:36,294 --> 00:40:38,374
SARU: Is the plan to fire
on the Klingons, Commander?

864
00:40:38,399 --> 00:40:41,696
We have to be ready in case
that's what the captain decides.

865
00:40:41,995 --> 00:40:44,705
Are you acting on the captain's orders?

866
00:40:44,730 --> 00:40:46,640
I'm your superior officer.

867
00:40:46,665 --> 00:40:49,165
We are in a high-risk scenario.

868
00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:51,963
Question chain of command
again and I'll remove you.

869
00:40:52,212 --> 00:40:54,211
Commander. It's just...

870
00:40:54,412 --> 00:40:56,412
Your breathing is elevated.

871
00:40:56,437 --> 00:40:58,142
Perspiration's visible at your hairline.

872
00:40:58,167 --> 00:40:59,747
I fear what you are doing

873
00:40:59,772 --> 00:41:01,392
betrays the wishes of our captain.

874
00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:03,303
Target phasers.

875
00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:04,744
Take your station, Commander.

876
00:41:04,769 --> 00:41:06,124
This is mutiny.

877
00:41:06,149 --> 00:41:09,225
Move, Saru. Tactical.

878
00:41:09,250 --> 00:41:10,447
GANT: We're locked on.

879
00:41:10,472 --> 00:41:11,338
Fire!

880
00:41:11,363 --> 00:41:14,105
GEORGIOU: Belay that order!

881
00:41:14,130 --> 00:41:16,010
Captain, please.

882
00:41:16,035 --> 00:41:17,995
I'm trying to save you.

883
00:41:18,020 --> 00:41:19,890
I'm trying to save all of you.

884
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:25,114
Stand down.

885
00:41:33,263 --> 00:41:35,603
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

886
00:41:35,628 --> 00:41:37,504
- Captain! Incoming!
- (COMPUTER BEEPING)

887
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:38,649
Warp signatures detected.

888
00:41:38,674 --> 00:41:40,345
Is it Starfleet?

889
00:41:48,330 --> 00:41:49,205
No.

890
00:41:49,779 --> 00:41:51,435
Those ships are Klingon.
