00:08:34,408 --> 00:08:35,470
for you to blow up.
182
00:08:35,475 --> 00:08:37,503
Hey, you were
on demolition duty. Not me.
183
00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:38,603
CHRISTOPHER: Captain,
184
00:08:38,608 --> 00:08:40,104
I have the magistrate on comms for you.
185
00:08:40,108 --> 00:08:41,175
Put him through.
186
00:08:43,008 --> 00:08:46,236
Magistrate, I'm Captain Burnham
of the USS Discovery.
187
00:08:46,241 --> 00:08:47,770
Thank Draylan you're here.
188
00:08:47,775 --> 00:08:49,436
We sent off all available ships;
189
00:08:49,441 --> 00:08:51,370
they held scarcely a quarter
of our population.
190
00:08:51,375 --> 00:08:53,970
All the rest are waiting.
They've begun to panic.
191
00:08:53,975 --> 00:08:56,436
I'll send a team down to assist.
We will get everyone out.
192
00:08:56,441 --> 00:08:58,831
SARU: Captain, we are
seeing six life signs
193
00:08:58,836 --> 00:09:00,636
beneath the north dome generator.
194
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:02,070
They are remaining stationary,
195
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:04,103
far from the evacuation point.
196
00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:05,670
Are you aware of these individuals?
197
00:09:05,675 --> 00:09:07,803
Of course. They are The Examples.
198
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:09,036
SARU: Records show
199
00:09:09,041 --> 00:09:11,070
it is the colony's prison.
200
00:09:11,075 --> 00:09:13,270
They need to be evacuated immediately.
201
00:09:13,275 --> 00:09:15,036
Why? They're criminals.
202
00:09:15,041 --> 00:09:16,703
Six offenders chosen to demonstrate
203
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:18,336
the costs of misbehavior.
204
00:09:18,341 --> 00:09:20,036
An Emerald Chain tradition.
205
00:09:20,041 --> 00:09:22,103
It has proven most effective
in preventing crime.
206
00:09:22,108 --> 00:09:24,803
It doesn't matter who they are,
they don't deserve to die there.
207
00:09:24,808 --> 00:09:27,270
This is a Federation mission,
Magistrate.
208
00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:28,903
No one will be left behind.
209
00:09:28,908 --> 00:09:31,403
It's too late. The prison is automated.
210
00:09:31,408 --> 00:09:34,070
And the few who know
how to run it fled hours ago.
211
00:09:34,075 --> 00:09:37,370
The law-abiding among us await you.
212
00:09:37,375 --> 00:09:41,075
Mr. Saru, assemble a team
to help with the evacuation.
213
00:09:43,075 --> 00:09:45,236
Book and I will go
to the prison ourselves.
214
00:09:45,241 --> 00:09:46,670
RHYS: Excuse me, Captain?
215
00:09:46,675 --> 00:09:49,903
I'd like to volunteer to lead
the evac team.
216
00:09:49,908 --> 00:09:51,403
I think I could be helpful.
217
00:09:51,408 --> 00:09:52,703
All right, Commander.
218
00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:54,137
Take whoever you need and get going.
219
00:09:54,141 --> 00:09:55,503
SARU: Captain, the prison
220
00:09:55,508 --> 00:09:57,570
is protected by a pattern interrupter,
221
00:09:57,575 --> 00:10:00,270
which prevents both transport and comms
222
00:10:00,275 --> 00:10:02,336
within a half-kilometer radius.
223
00:10:02,341 --> 00:10:03,608
BURNHAM: Understood.
224
00:10:04,108 --> 00:10:05,375
Let's go.
225
00:10:07,475 --> 00:10:08,936
Hi.
226
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:11,570
Ruon Tarka's here to work with me,
227
00:10:11,575 --> 00:10:14,003
figured I should put on a clean jacket.
228
00:10:14,008 --> 00:10:16,903
Apparently, he's some kind of genius.
229
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:18,170
We'll see.
230
00:10:18,175 --> 00:10:19,703
Wait, Ruon Tarka, isn't he the one...
231
00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:21,570
Yeah, building off of my research
232
00:10:21,575 --> 00:10:24,370
and hasn't once made
the effort to reach out.
233
00:10:24,375 --> 00:10:28,570
Yeah, I've advised his team
on, uh, spore propagation,
234
00:10:28,575 --> 00:10:31,070
on not harming the JahSepp.
235
00:10:31,075 --> 00:10:35,603
I've supplied them with
countless samples of my DNA.
236
00:10:35,608 --> 00:10:40,036
But Tarka is always too busy for me.
237
00:10:40,041 --> 00:10:42,470
He goes through Aurellio every time.
238
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:44,936
How do I work with someone
who has zero respect
239
00:10:44,941 --> 00:10:46,436
for professional courtesy?
240
00:10:46,441 --> 00:10:48,636
Let it roll off you.
241
00:10:48,641 --> 00:10:52,036
There are bigger things at stake here.
242
00:10:52,041 --> 00:10:55,370
Good luck. I'm off
to assist with the evacuees.
243
00:10:55,375 --> 00:10:57,603
Hey. You've already done, what,
244
00:10:57,608 --> 00:11:00,570
like, five therapy sessions today?
245
00:11:00,575 --> 00:11:05,236
Maybe you could take ten minutes
before you jump into one again?
246
00:11:05,241 --> 00:11:07,108
People need help, Paul.
247
00:11:08,908 --> 00:11:10,836
Knowing that someone made the DMA
248
00:11:10,841 --> 00:11:13,503
makes it all the more unsettling.
249
00:11:13,508 --> 00:11:15,370
For everyone.
250
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:17,603
Can I give you some advice, though?
251
00:11:17,608 --> 00:11:21,175
I'm good. Really.
252
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:25,041
(DOOR WHOOSHES SHUT)
253
00:11:27,041 --> 00:11:28,608
(DOOR CHIMES)
254
00:11:30,408 --> 00:11:32,903
MALE: ... Ensign Jameson,
please report to Observation.
255
00:11:32,908 --> 00:11:35,403
So, this is the USS Discovery.
256
00:11:35,408 --> 00:11:37,670
It's like walking onto an antique.
257
00:11:37,675 --> 00:11:39,436
Ah.
258
00:11:39,441 --> 00:11:42,203
Mr. Tarka, welcome aboard.
259
00:11:42,208 --> 00:11:44,103
Uh, this is Commander Stamets.
260
00:11:44,108 --> 00:11:46,036
Nice to finally meet you.
261
00:11:46,041 --> 00:11:47,970
Aurellio's told me all about you.
262
00:11:47,975 --> 00:11:50,270
And of course, I've studied
your work extensively.
263
00:11:50,275 --> 00:11:53,403
So much to admire, and improve upon.
264
00:11:53,408 --> 00:11:55,870
So what are we waiting for?
Let's get started.
265
00:11:55,875 --> 00:11:59,570
- DMA awaits.
- Uh, if you will both follow me.
266
00:11:59,575 --> 00:12:02,703
- You're the first Kelpien I've ever met.
- Ah.
267
00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:05,541
You really do have the strangest feet.
268
00:12:13,175 --> 00:12:14,503
BURNHAM: Burnham to Discovery.
269
00:12:14,508 --> 00:12:16,170
We're approaching the prison now.
270
00:12:16,175 --> 00:12:17,771
We'll be passing through
the boundary marker
271
00:12:17,775 --> 00:12:20,636
for the pattern interrupter
in just a moment.
272
00:12:20,641 --> 00:12:22,670
That will take us out of comms range,
273
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:24,570
CHRISTOPHER: Aye, Captain. Good luck.
274
00:12:24,575 --> 00:12:27,436
Rhys, what's the status
of the evacuation?
275
00:12:27,441 --> 00:12:30,303
160 transported so far.
276
00:12:30,308 --> 00:12:33,336
Bit chaotic at first, but
everything's going smoothly now.
277
00:12:33,341 --> 00:12:35,070
Good. Book and I are going dark.
278
00:12:35,075 --> 00:12:36,170
Don't wait for us.
279
00:12:36,175 --> 00:12:38,071
We'll be out of here
before the cut-off point.
280
00:12:38,075 --> 00:12:40,370
Captain, thank you
for letting me do this.
281
00:12:40,375 --> 00:12:42,236
I can tell it means a lot to you.
282
00:12:42,241 --> 00:12:46,503
My town was wiped out
by a hurricane when I was five.
283
00:12:46,508 --> 00:12:49,203
A Starfleet crew got us out.
284
00:12:49,208 --> 00:12:52,336
So, I get what this is like for them.
285
00:12:52,341 --> 00:12:54,541
I'm glad you're here, Commander.
286
00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:57,641
Let's do this.
287
00:13:00,941 --> 00:13:03,203
Okay, the door is standard
Emerald Chain issue.
288
00:13:03,208 --> 00:13:04,703
I can open it no problem.
289
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:05,971
- Such confidence.
- What can I say?
290
00:13:05,975 --> 00:13:07,303
I'm a man of many talents.
291
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,536
I'm not picking up any defense systems.
292
00:13:09,541 --> 00:13:11,036
There must be some.
293
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:14,070
Yeah, I don't trust it, either.
294
00:13:14,075 --> 00:13:16,736
By the way, about Oonla,
295
00:13:16,741 --> 00:13:18,570
you do realize it was either
the noodle stands
296
00:13:18,575 --> 00:13:19,903
or the fusion reactor?
297
00:13:19,908 --> 00:13:22,203
Mm-hmm, I was picking noodles
out of my braids for days.
298
00:13:22,208 --> 00:13:24,002
(CHUCKLES) Simpler times.
299
00:13:24,007 --> 00:13:25,536
Constantly running for our lives doing
300
00:13:25,541 --> 00:13:26,671
borderline-legal courier gigs?
301
00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:28,470
- That was simpler?
- In some ways.
302
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:30,604
Though I don't miss the whole
"just friends" thing.
303
00:13:30,608 --> 00:13:32,536
I was keeping it professional.
304
00:13:32,541 --> 00:13:35,475
Which was absolutely zero fun
for either of us.
305
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:38,736
(CHITTERING)
306
00:13:38,741 --> 00:13:40,270
The hell is that?
307
00:13:40,275 --> 00:13:41,636
It's a Narisa beetle.
308
00:13:41,641 --> 00:13:43,203
They're indigenous to the Akaali.
309
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:45,736
They must have brought them
when they settled here.
310
00:13:45,741 --> 00:13:47,671
- (CHITTERING)
- I could not hate that sound more.
311
00:13:47,675 --> 00:13:50,103
- You mean the chitin?
- No idea what word you just said.
312
00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:52,770
Chitin. The polysaccharides
in arthropod exoskeletons.
313
00:13:52,775 --> 00:13:54,570
It creates a distinctive clicking.
314
00:13:54,575 --> 00:13:56,070
Whatever. It creeps me out.
315
00:13:56,075 --> 00:13:58,003
Says the man who finds
beauty in Tranceworms.
316
00:13:58,008 --> 00:14:00,136
Why can't you just ask it to go away?
317
00:14:00,141 --> 00:14:02,536
I'm trying to. I can't
communicate with it.
318
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:05,403
It's taken the exact
same path four times now.
319
00:14:05,408 --> 00:14:07,203
No living thing is that precise.
320
00:14:07,208 --> 00:14:09,108
Let's see what we're dealing with.
321
00:14:20,108 --> 00:14:21,636
It's a mobile land mine.
322
00:14:21,641 --> 00:14:23,036
I've heard the Emerald Chain
323
00:14:23,041 --> 00:14:25,470
use weapons like this,
disguised as native life.
324
00:14:25,475 --> 00:14:27,470
There's a lot more coming this way.
325
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:29,936
These are scans from the precise moment
326
00:14:29,941 --> 00:14:31,070
the DMA disappeared.
327
00:14:31,075 --> 00:14:34,036
It collapsed into a central aperture.
328
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:37,136
What appears to be some sort
of, uh, technological device?
329
00:14:37,141 --> 00:14:39,403
Which then disappeared as well.
330
00:14:39,408 --> 00:14:42,970
We assume this is what also
is controlling the DMA
331
00:14:42,975 --> 00:14:44,570
in its new location.
332
00:14:44,575 --> 00:14:46,203
The scans further indicate
333
00:14:46,208 --> 00:14:48,436
the DMA left behind a subspace rupture.
334
00:14:48,441 --> 00:14:50,303
Yes, yes, yes.
335
00:14:50,308 --> 00:14:52,336
I've already seen this data.
336
00:14:52,341 --> 00:14:54,170
It's inconclusive.
337
00:14:54,175 --> 00:14:57,003
Subspace damage can be created
by a litany of things.
338
00:14:57,008 --> 00:14:58,736
Of course. I was about to say that,
339
00:14:58,741 --> 00:14:59,805
- but you cut me off.
- For something so powerful,
340
00:14:59,809 --> 00:15:01,471
it's an exceedingly blunt instrument.
341
00:15:01,476 --> 00:15:06,104
Uh, we, too, have wondered
about its, uh, purpose.
342
00:15:06,109 --> 00:15:07,937
Is it a weapon, perhaps,
343
00:15:07,942 --> 00:15:11,203
or, uh, clearing areas of space
in preparation for something?
344
00:15:11,208 --> 00:15:13,803
- Uh, is it...
- Where's the replicator in here?
345
00:15:13,808 --> 00:15:15,441
That console.
346
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:20,570
Make me a plate
of mashed potatoes, cold.
347
00:15:20,575 --> 00:15:22,703
And a pea. Just one.
348
00:15:22,708 --> 00:15:24,003
STAMETS: We're on a clock here.
349
00:15:24,008 --> 00:15:25,888
- So if you need to eat something...
- (SHUSHES)
350
00:15:29,575 --> 00:15:32,603
TARKA: These potatoes are the DMA.
351
00:15:33,208 --> 00:15:36,903
A mass of dark matter
and accreted material
352
00:15:36,908 --> 00:15:40,936
moving through space, wreaking havoc,
353
00:15:40,941 --> 00:15:45,208
controlled somehow by
the device at its center.
354
00:15:49,341 --> 00:15:51,670
What does it all add up to?
355
00:15:51,675 --> 00:15:54,870
You originally theorized
primordial wormhole.
356
00:15:54,875 --> 00:15:58,270
- Obviously, that's wrong.
- Had I known about the device...
357
00:15:58,275 --> 00:16:00,336
I didn't say "completely wrong".
358
00:16:00,341 --> 00:16:02,370
The behavior of the anomaly
359
00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:04,570
suggests that the wormhole is present.
360
00:16:04,575 --> 00:16:06,703
You think, what, synthetic?
361
00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:09,336
I think someone created a tunnel
through space-time
362
00:16:09,341 --> 00:16:11,836
- to get it here.
- To what end?
363
00:16:11,841 --> 00:16:13,403
No idea.
364
00:16:13,408 --> 00:16:15,103
But we can sit around doing math,
365
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:18,170
or we can get our hands
dirty and find out.
366
00:16:18,675 --> 00:16:21,970
I am not sure I follow
your metaphor, Mr. Tarka.
367
00:16:21,975 --> 00:16:26,236
I want to create a working
model of the DMA controller.
368
00:16:26,241 --> 00:16:27,803
Miniature scale, of course.
369
00:16:27,808 --> 00:16:29,870
You really think you can do that?
370
00:16:29,875 --> 00:16:32,941
Take a look at the schematics
if you want.
371
00:16:36,341 --> 00:16:41,270
You want to create a device
that will generate a wormhole
372
00:16:41,275 --> 00:16:43,603
- on Discovery?
- Yeah, simulations
373
00:16:43,608 --> 00:16:47,103
are promising,
but I need a real-world trial
374
00:16:47,108 --> 00:16:50,236
to confirm my theory and collect
the data that we need.
375
00:16:50,241 --> 00:16:52,870
For instance, how much
power will it require?
376
00:16:52,875 --> 00:16:55,503
Does it rupture subspace?
377
00:16:55,508 --> 00:16:58,403
Those answers will help lead us
to who's responsible.
378
00:16:58,408 --> 00:17:00,670
STAMETS: Wow, this is...
379
00:17:00,675 --> 00:17:02,603
It really could work.
380
00:17:02,608 --> 00:17:05,570
W-We can enclose both ends
of the wormhole
381
00:17:05,575 --> 00:17:07,003
inside a containment field.
382
00:17:07,008 --> 00:17:08,770
It'll be perfectly safe.
383
00:17:08,775 --> 00:17:11,470
I will give Commander Nilsson the conn
384
00:17:11,475 --> 00:17:14,570
and personally supervise.
385

need a bigger room.

Can't hold them off forever.
387
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:23,868
They communicate using
a shared control matrix.
388
00:17:23,873 --> 00:17:25,170
I can access it to stop their movements,
389
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:26,471
but I need you to buy me more time.
390
00:17:26,475 --> 00:17:28,041
More time, she says.
391
00:17:32,041 --> 00:17:34,575
You have got to be kidding me.
392
00:17:37,341 --> 00:17:39,408
- Come on, Michael.
- I'm almost done.

I told you I could do it.
396
00:17:53,108 --> 00:17:55,403
Never doubted you.
397
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:57,970
Clock's ticking. We have
to get those prisoners out.
398
00:17:57,975 --> 00:17:59,375

We need your attention.

Who the hell are you?
And what's with the costume?
402
00:18:19,075 --> 00:18:21,370
I'm Captain Burnham
of the USS Discovery.
403
00:18:21,375 --> 00:18:24,036
This colony is in the path
of a gravitational anomaly.
404
00:18:24,041 --> 00:18:26,136
The other colonists are being
evacuated as we speak,
405
00:18:26,141 --> 00:18:28,036
so we are here to evacuate you.
406
00:18:28,041 --> 00:18:29,870
Now we know why the guards took off.
407
00:18:29,875 --> 00:18:31,470
They left us here to die.
408
00:18:31,475 --> 00:18:33,270
FELIX: Of course they did.
409
00:18:33,275 --> 00:18:37,036
Tell me, why would a Starfleet
captain come to help us?
410
00:18:37,041 --> 00:18:39,603
Because the Federation
doesn't leave prisoners to die.
411
00:18:39,608 --> 00:18:41,408
Is that so?
412
00:18:44,441 --> 00:18:47,203
Everyone here is sentenced to life,
413
00:18:47,208 --> 00:18:49,670
no matter how small their crime.

He traded in counterfeit latinum.

She counted cards at a tongo club.
417
00:18:57,841 --> 00:19:02,736
And Felix took one joyride
on a sand-copter.
418
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:05,570
Tell me how that's worth
30 years and counting.
419
00:19:05,575 --> 00:19:07,803
This is not a place of justice.
420
00:19:07,808 --> 00:19:10,370
And the Federation
has done nothing about it.
421
00:19:10,375 --> 00:19:12,136
This was Emerald Chain territory.
422
00:19:12,141 --> 00:19:14,036
We had no jurisdiction.
423
00:19:14,041 --> 00:19:15,603
So now you care.
424
00:19:15,608 --> 00:19:17,436
We did then and we still do.
425
00:19:17,441 --> 00:19:19,003
We don't have time for this, okay?
426
00:19:19,008 --> 00:19:20,436
We need to get everyone out.

this gravitational anomaly hits?

00:19:24,275 --> 00:19:26,170
we lose the ability to transport.
430
00:19:26,175 --> 00:19:28,703
We won't know its trajectory
until after that.
431
00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:30,136
So it may not hit us?
432
00:19:30,141 --> 00:19:32,103
That's right. The plan is to beam you
433
00:19:32,108 --> 00:19:33,636
onto our ship until it's safe.
434
00:19:33,641 --> 00:19:37,170
Listen, we are risking
our own lives being here.
435
00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:38,741
Can we get moving?
436
00:19:44,408 --> 00:19:47,903
Good. Where is
your prison control system?

You were the one who
requested this meeting.
456

Yes, sir, but that was before
I knew about the evacuations.

We have hundreds of refugees
coming on board.

I'm a busy man, Dr. Culber.
459
00:20:38,775 --> 00:20:40,736
I cleared the time for you.

Well, you're familiar with
my duties as ship's counselor.

00:20:52,808 --> 00:20:54,503
And I saw how you were with Georgiou

I've offered them hope.
472
00:21:19,008 --> 00:21:21,503

I'm struggling.

00:21:46,608 --> 00:21:51,408

To everyone who gets in front of me.

isn't an act of nature, that...

permission to take a break?

- You died.

00:22:35,341 --> 00:22:39,236
You died and came back to life.
495
00:22:39,241 --> 00:22:41,708
Little wonder you're a mess.
496
00:22:45,775 --> 00:22:49,570
Your file is stunningly generic
as to your feelings
497
00:22:49,575 --> 00:22:52,570
on this rather unique fact
of your existence,
498
00:22:52,575 --> 00:22:55,836
so allow me to fill in some blanks.
499
00:22:55,841 --> 00:22:58,270
"Why me?"
500
00:22:58,275 --> 00:23:00,803
It's the question you ask yourself
501
00:23:00,808 --> 00:23:03,303
every morning and every evening.
502
00:23:03,308 --> 00:23:07,770
"No one else gets
a second chance, so why me?"
503
00:23:07,775 --> 00:23:10,070
That led you to the idea
504
00:23:10,075 --> 00:23:13,865
that there was a reason
for your survival.
505
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:17,936
A purpose you're meant to
fulfill right here, right now.
506
00:23:17,941 --> 00:23:21,003
And that led you to a savior complex,
507
00:23:21,008 --> 00:23:25,303
because if there is no reason,
if there is no purpose,
508
00:23:25,308 --> 00:23:28,070
then your very existence
is a middle finger
509
00:23:28,075 --> 00:23:30,670
to anyone who's ever lost someone.
510
00:23:30,675 --> 00:23:32,903
Which is everyone.
511
00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:34,808
How's that for brutal honesty?
512
00:23:36,808 --> 00:23:40,103
Do you have a recommendation
513
00:23:40,108 --> 00:23:43,036
to go along
with that sparkling analysis?
514
00:23:43,041 --> 00:23:47,803
Whether or not you were
a miracle, Dr. Culber,
515
00:23:47,808 --> 00:23:50,703
you are only human.
516
00:23:50,708 --> 00:23:53,836
You need to allow yourself time to rest,
517
00:23:53,841 --> 00:23:56,270
as you advise your patients.
518
00:23:56,275 --> 00:23:58,736
Well, I can't just stop.
519
00:23:58,741 --> 00:24:01,170
Not now, anyway.
520
00:24:01,175 --> 00:24:03,003
It's what I do. It's...
521
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:04,703
It's who I am. It's...
522
00:24:04,708 --> 00:24:06,936
It's the way you escape
523
00:24:06,941 --> 00:24:11,041
the persistent guilt of being alive.
524
00:24:13,075 --> 00:24:16,770
This is a uniquely
challenging time, yes.
525
00:24:16,775 --> 00:24:19,070
But if you don't find
fulfillment in something
526
00:24:19,075 --> 00:24:22,670
other than work,
then you will fail those
527
00:24:22,675 --> 00:24:24,941
in the chair in front of you.

00:24:41,341 --> 00:24:42,870
(POWERING DOWN)
533
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:44,871
I don't know about the rest
of you, but no way
534
00:24:44,875 --> 00:24:46,470
am I sitting in a brig on some ship.
535
00:24:46,475 --> 00:24:47,675
I'm out of here.
536
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:51,136
BURNHAM: I can't let you do that.
537
00:24:51,141 --> 00:24:53,936
It's set to stun,
but it still won't feel good.
538
00:24:53,941 --> 00:24:56,936
All the colony's ships are gone.
We're your only way out.
539
00:24:56,941 --> 00:24:58,636
You can't ask us to trust you
540
00:24:58,641 --> 00:25:00,970
and then treat us no differently
than our jailers do.
541
00:25:00,975 --> 00:25:02,375
Lower your weapon.
542
00:25:12,108 --> 00:25:14,003
What happens after you rescue us?
543
00:25:14,008 --> 00:25:15,836
Will we get our freedom?
544
00:25:15,841 --> 00:25:18,336
Because if we all walk out right now,
545
00:25:18,341 --> 00:25:20,470
we'd have a chance at precisely that.
546
00:25:20,475 --> 00:25:22,503
Maybe for an hour, if you're lucky.
547
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:24,070
Maybe we will be.
548
00:25:24,075 --> 00:25:27,270
If the anomaly doesn't hit,
we could use that time.
549
00:25:27,275 --> 00:25:30,070
- Find another way off this asteroid.
- That is a big if.
550
00:25:30,075 --> 00:25:32,371
You haven't seen this thing.
You don't know what it can do.
551
00:25:32,375 --> 00:25:33,841
It destroyed my planet.
552
00:25:34,841 --> 00:25:37,536
They, whoever they are,
553
00:25:37,541 --> 00:25:40,075
they don't care how many are killed.
554
00:25:44,341 --> 00:25:47,036
I'm sorry for your loss.
555
00:25:47,041 --> 00:25:49,170
But it changes nothing for us.
556
00:25:49,175 --> 00:25:51,203
I want a guarantee
557
00:25:51,208 --> 00:25:54,036
that we will not be returned
to this unjust society.
558
00:25:54,041 --> 00:25:55,905
I'll advocate for the diplomats
to put pressure...
559
00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:58,476
A guarantee, or we go nowhere.
560
00:26:02,741 --> 00:26:05,970
TARKA: Okay, the controller
model is just ready to test.
561
00:26:05,975 --> 00:26:08,003
Activating containment field now.
562
00:26:08,008 --> 00:26:10,736
RENO: I can just picture
Tilly's face when she finds out
563
00:26:10,741 --> 00:26:12,403
that we got sucked into a wormhole
564
00:26:12,408 --> 00:26:14,136
three days after she left.
565
00:26:14,141 --> 00:26:16,103
I miss her, too, Commander.
566
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,303
We're ready for power.
567
00:26:17,308 --> 00:26:19,270
It's what I do best.
568
00:26:19,275 --> 00:26:21,870
Now, of course, the big
difference here apart from size
569
00:26:21,875 --> 00:26:23,503
is that the actual DMA controller
570
00:26:23,508 --> 00:26:25,736
would have to use
an internal power source.
571
00:26:25,741 --> 00:26:28,636
Some sort of highly stable
energy-generating system
572
00:26:28,641 --> 00:26:31,536
far beyond
our technological capabilities.
573
00:26:31,541 --> 00:26:37,270
But the rest of it, I think I've
nailed pretty much perfectly.
574
00:26:37,275 --> 00:26:38,870
RENO: Here you go.
575
00:26:38,875 --> 00:26:40,936
(QUIETLY): It's working.
576
00:26:40,941 --> 00:26:44,203
- Incredible.
- SARU: That looks remarkably like the DMA.
577
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:48,108
There's nothing quite like the
rush of proving a theory right.
578
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:52,036
I remember my first time.
I was five years old.
579
00:26:52,041 --> 00:26:53,903
I atomized a live caracal.
580
00:26:53,908 --> 00:26:57,036
All anyone could do was complain
about how messy it was.
581
00:26:57,041 --> 00:26:59,770
I was never understood on Risa.
582
00:26:59,775 --> 00:27:01,903
The "pleasure planet".
583
00:27:01,908 --> 00:27:03,536
I was surrounded by idiots.
584
00:27:03,541 --> 00:27:05,970
Felt like your Gaily Leo
at the Inquisition.
585
00:27:05,975 --> 00:27:07,436
You mean Galileo?
586
00:27:07,441 --> 00:27:09,136
Sure. Why not?
587
00:27:09,141 --> 00:27:12,103
The point is, great
intellect can be costly.
588
00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:15,203
- You know, that's something we have in common.
- Hmm?
589
00:27:15,208 --> 00:27:18,136
Your encounter with the Emerald Chain.
590
00:27:18,141 --> 00:27:21,403
Neural lock. Painful.
591
00:27:21,408 --> 00:27:22,470
SARU: E-Excuse me.
592
00:27:22,475 --> 00:27:24,703
It appears the, uh,
experiment has paused.
593
00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:26,203
RENO: Let me see what I can do.
594
00:27:26,208 --> 00:27:28,836
TARKA: Oh, I see the problem right here.
595
00:27:28,841 --> 00:27:31,271
It's gonna require much
more power than I thought.
596
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:32,636
RENO: Sorry, Galileo.
597
00:27:32,641 --> 00:27:34,336
I'm giving you all I can without taking
598
00:27:34,341 --> 00:27:35,803
from the transport systems.
599
00:27:35,808 --> 00:27:37,303
Uh, which is not an option.
600
00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:39,137
There are evacuations in progress.
601
00:27:39,142 --> 00:27:40,304
T-There's got to be
602
00:27:40,309 --> 00:27:42,104
somewhere else we can pull from.
603
00:27:42,109 --> 00:27:44,670
Come on, you love a challenge.
604
00:27:44,675 --> 00:27:48,370
I mean, I could harness
the ionic radiation
605
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,136
from the main phaser array,
606
00:27:50,141 --> 00:27:53,570
converting it into a
temporary power source.
607
00:27:53,575 --> 00:27:55,236
Is that safe?
608
00:27:55,241 --> 00:27:58,603
Let's see, if one is
"nothing to worry about",
609
00:27:58,608 --> 00:28:01,403
and ten is "insane", I would say
610
00:28:01,408 --> 00:28:04,403
it's, eh, it's probably a six?
611
00:28:04,408 --> 00:28:07,970
Great science was never
accomplished with caution.
612
00:28:07,975 --> 00:28:09,870
I'm not sure that's actually true.
613
00:28:09,875 --> 00:28:12,936
Sir, if we can understand this tech,
614
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:14,636
then we can figure out who built it.
615
00:28:14,641 --> 00:28:17,536
And maybe even how to stop it.
616
00:28:17,541 --> 00:28:19,636
Every piece of data is a clue.
617
00:28:19,641 --> 00:28:21,770
Commander, I do not believe
that you or Mr. Tarka
618
00:28:21,775 --> 00:28:24,136
are considering the risks
as seriously as you should.
619
00:28:24,141 --> 00:28:27,403
You realize it's a choice
to be this tense, right?
620
00:28:27,408 --> 00:28:30,270
Mr. Tarka, I have extraordinary
responsibilities on...
621
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:31,908
(SHOUTS)
622
00:28:33,675 --> 00:28:35,370
What was that?
623
00:28:35,375 --> 00:28:38,170
(SHOUTS)
624
00:28:38,175 --> 00:28:40,203
Do it back.
625
00:28:40,208 --> 00:28:42,070
Excuse me?
626
00:28:42,075 --> 00:28:44,170
Yell back at me.
627
00:28:44,175 --> 00:28:45,603
What are you afraid of?
628
00:28:45,608 --> 00:28:48,608
- Do it!
- (BELLOWS)
629
00:28:50,675 --> 00:28:52,241
(CHUCKLES)
630
00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:56,603
Well, that was something.
631
00:28:56,608 --> 00:28:58,703
That felt pretty good, right?
632
00:28:58,708 --> 00:29:00,670
Being out of control for a moment?
633
00:29:00,675 --> 00:29:02,370
I suppose it did.
634
00:29:02,375 --> 00:29:05,970
Look, you may not like me,
635
00:29:05,975 --> 00:29:08,236
but-but I love me.
636
00:29:08,241 --> 00:29:11,036
And I am not gonna let
this experiment blow me up.
637
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:13,036
Which means, by extension,
638
00:29:13,041 --> 00:29:15,170
that your ship will be fine, too.
639
00:29:15,175 --> 00:29:16,836
STAMETS: Mr. Saru,
640
00:29:16,841 --> 00:29:18,936
for the first time
since we discovered the DMA,
641
00:29:18,941 --> 00:29:21,370
we're actually getting somewhere.
642
00:29:21,375 --> 00:29:23,970
We'll keep this within safe parameters.
643
00:29:23,975 --> 00:29:25,408
I'll make sure of it.
644
00:29:32,308 --> 00:29:34,736
I will allow the additional power,
645
00:29:34,741 --> 00:29:37,636
but Commander Reno will give me
the ability to cut that power,
646
00:29:37,641 --> 00:29:40,041
should I deem it necessary.
647
00:29:42,508 --> 00:29:44,803
This is gonna be fun.
648
00:29:44,808 --> 00:29:47,003
BOOK: Come on, Michael.
We have 30 minutes.
649
00:29:47,008 --> 00:29:49,836
BURNHAM: Okay, I found something.
650
00:29:49,841 --> 00:29:53,103
I searched Starfleet General
Orders and Regulations.
651
00:29:53,108 --> 00:29:55,703
Protocol allows a captain
to grant political asylum
652
00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:57,236
in extreme circumstances.
653
00:29:57,241 --> 00:29:59,370
That would bring you
under Federation law.
654
00:29:59,375 --> 00:30:01,036
Your cases would go under
immediate review
655
00:30:01,041 --> 00:30:02,870
and your sentencing
would likely be commuted.
656
00:30:02,875 --> 00:30:04,603
How would we warrant asylum?
657
00:30:04,608 --> 00:30:06,636
The magistrate called you The Examples.
658
00:30:06,641 --> 00:30:09,603
Your sentences were political
theater, they weren't justice.
659
00:30:09,608 --> 00:30:12,270
And if you also believe that
to be true, and you do want
660
00:30:12,275 --> 00:30:13,837
your cases reviewed by the Federation,
661
00:30:13,841 --> 00:30:16,636
I just need you to say that right now.
662
00:30:16,641 --> 00:30:19,170
I want my case reviewed. Absolutely.
663
00:30:19,175 --> 00:30:20,641
- So do I.
- Me, too.
664
00:30:21,608 --> 00:30:23,403
Then we're done here.
665
00:30:23,408 --> 00:30:24,736
- Let's get moving.
- Yes.
666
00:30:24,741 --> 00:30:26,275
I'll join you in a moment.
667
00:30:32,541 --> 00:30:34,236
What are you doing?
668
00:30:34,241 --> 00:30:35,703
There's something I cannot leave.
669
00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:37,304
Whatever it is,
it's not worth it. We-we...
670
00:30:37,308 --> 00:30:38,341
It is to me.
671
00:30:40,641 --> 00:30:44,203
Unlike the others, I do belong here.
672
00:30:44,208 --> 00:30:46,236
I'm not the man they think I am.
673
00:30:46,241 --> 00:30:47,741
I took a life.
674
00:30:51,075 --> 00:30:52,903
You do not shrink from me.
675
00:30:52,908 --> 00:30:54,341
I'm not here to judge you.
676
00:31:08,108 --> 00:31:09,470
FELIX: When I took that life,
677
00:31:09,475 --> 00:31:12,303
I also took this.
678
00:31:12,308 --> 00:31:13,970
It's a lalogi orb.
679
00:31:13,975 --> 00:31:16,903
They're precious to the Akaali.
Each family has one.
680
00:31:16,908 --> 00:31:19,403
It contains a record of their heritage.
681
00:31:19,408 --> 00:31:22,303
I kept it hidden from the guards
all these years,
682
00:31:22,308 --> 00:31:25,836
promising myself that somehow
I would return it.
683
00:31:25,841 --> 00:31:29,603
But of course, now it's too late.
684
00:31:29,608 --> 00:31:32,403
I've devoted my life to doing
penance for my crime.
685
00:31:32,408 --> 00:31:35,503
One way is to help
the others here, however I can.
686
00:31:35,508 --> 00:31:39,903
I know that giving them asylum
may create difficulties for you,
687
00:31:39,908 --> 00:31:44,341
but the right choice
is rarely the easy one.
688
00:31:46,708 --> 00:31:48,603
Thank you.
689
00:31:48,608 --> 00:31:51,770
We need to go.
690
00:31:51,775 --> 00:31:53,608
LUDA: Let's do this.
691
00:31:57,508 --> 00:32:00,703
(ALARM BLARING)
692
00:32:00,708 --> 00:32:02,736
LUDA: Shit.
693
00:32:02,741 --> 00:32:04,808
It read my biometrics.
694
00:32:04,813 --> 00:32:07,346
Now we're all trapped.
695
00:32:17,175 --> 00:32:19,071
It's reinforced with a layer
of nanomaterial.
696
00:32:19,076 --> 00:32:20,272
There's no way we can
shoot through this.
697
00:32:20,276 --> 00:32:22,937
We're running out of time.
698
00:32:22,942 --> 00:32:24,204
- Any ideas?
- No.
699
00:32:24,209 --> 00:32:27,171
Wait. Those beetles.
700
00:32:27,176 --> 00:32:29,106
- Power them back up. Maybe...
- LUDA: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
701
00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:30,473
Why would you do a thing like that?
702
00:32:30,477 --> 00:32:31,813
Because we can use them
to blow open the door.
703
00:32:31,817 --> 00:32:33,212
- Right.
- Everybody take cover.
704
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:35,017
I'm bringing them right to us.
705
00:32:45,875 --> 00:32:47,638
I thought you'd think
this idea was too crazy.
706
00:32:47,642 --> 00:32:50,176
Oh, it is. I just don't
have a better one.
707
00:33:03,708 --> 00:33:05,803
- Think there are enough of them?
- There better be.
708
00:33:05,808 --> 00:33:08,208
I've got all of them coming. Get ready.
709
00:33:13,741 --> 00:33:15,141
LUCA: They're coming in!
710
00:33:16,008 --> 00:33:17,436
You have to stop them!
711
00:33:17,441 --> 00:33:18,975
BURNHAM: Working on it.
712
00:33:23,508 --> 00:33:25,770
- Still never doubted you.
- (CHUCKLES)
713
00:33:25,775 --> 00:33:28,303
Okay, maybe a little.
Okay, let's go, let's move!
714
00:33:28,308 --> 00:33:29,441
(GASPS)
715
00:33:31,041 --> 00:33:32,936
SARU: Commander Rhys,
what is your status?
716
00:33:32,941 --> 00:33:34,704
RHYS: The evacuation is nearly complete.
717
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:36,070
Two more groups to go.
718
00:33:36,075 --> 00:33:37,604
Have you heard from the captain?
719
00:33:37,608 --> 00:33:39,636
No. Their comms are still dark.
720
00:33:39,641 --> 00:33:41,304
Complete your mission,
then proceed to the prison
721
00:33:41,308 --> 00:33:43,003
- to assist them.
- Yes, sir.
722
00:33:43,008 --> 00:33:45,236
We must finish the experiment now.
723
00:33:45,241 --> 00:33:46,904
I need to return to the bridge
as soon as possible.
724
00:33:46,908 --> 00:33:48,703
RENO: Additional power's
been transferred.
725
00:33:48,708 --> 00:33:51,036
Divide it between the model
and the containment field.
726
00:33:51,041 --> 00:33:53,536
Go slow. The more you feed the monster,
727
00:33:53,541 --> 00:33:55,003
the more you need the cage.
728
00:33:55,008 --> 00:33:57,036
I sent you the kill switch.
729
00:33:57,041 --> 00:33:59,508
In case the monster gets out of hand.
730
00:34:00,341 --> 00:34:04,541
Commander Stamets, do the honors.
731
00:34:08,541 --> 00:34:10,641
Oh, give it more.
732
00:34:12,375 --> 00:34:14,636
Bad news. Containment field's weakening.
733
00:34:14,641 --> 00:34:16,403
Redistribute power to the field, please.
734
00:34:16,408 --> 00:34:18,370
But that means taking it
away from the device.
735
00:34:18,375 --> 00:34:20,405
If the field should fail,
the gravitational gradient
736
00:34:20,409 --> 00:34:21,737
could destroy the ship.
737
00:34:21,742 --> 00:34:23,637
Commander Reno?
738
00:34:23,642 --> 00:34:26,571
Oh, that's too much. It's stalling out.
739
00:34:26,576 --> 00:34:29,771
Mr. Saru, we need to make
sure this device works.
740
00:34:29,776 --> 00:34:32,337
It's the only way to get
data on the real thing.
741
00:34:32,342 --> 00:34:34,471
TARKA: Billions of lives
depend on this experiment.
742
00:34:34,476 --> 00:34:38,136
My people. His. Grumpy lady's.
743
00:34:38,141 --> 00:34:40,675
And all the lives on Kaminar, too.
744
00:34:42,741 --> 00:34:44,808
I can control it.
745
00:34:47,841 --> 00:34:49,336
You may continue, for now.
746
00:34:49,341 --> 00:34:51,903
Zora, please provide real-time updates
747
00:34:51,908 --> 00:34:54,803
on any decrease
in containment field integrity.
748
00:34:54,808 --> 00:34:56,370
ZORA: Understood, Captain Saru.
749
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:58,470
RENO: More power coming
to you, Commander.
750
00:34:58,475 --> 00:35:00,541
That's it, that's it.
751
00:35:02,475 --> 00:35:05,036
That's how it works.
752
00:35:05,041 --> 00:35:07,070
I was right.
753
00:35:07,075 --> 00:35:09,870
It's behaving exactly like the DMA.
754
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:12,136
Look, yeah, gravitational lensing
755
00:35:12,141 --> 00:35:13,936
and dark matter accretion.
756
00:35:13,941 --> 00:35:16,675
And it's creating
a subspace rupture, too.
757
00:35:19,408 --> 00:35:21,375
It needs more power to stabilize!
758
00:35:22,775 --> 00:35:25,670
STAMETS: It's working.
759
00:35:25,675 --> 00:35:27,836
ZORA: Containment
field integrity dropping.
760
00:35:27,841 --> 00:35:29,272
Do you have the data
you need, Commander?
761
00:35:29,276 --> 00:35:30,276
- 40%.
- Not yet.
762
00:35:30,281 --> 00:35:31,445
No, give it a chance to stabilize.
763
00:35:31,449 --> 00:35:32,677
- 35%.
- We've got this.
764
00:35:32,682 --> 00:35:33,911
Come on. More.
765
00:35:33,916 --> 00:35:35,316
- 30%.
- More, more.
766
00:35:35,321 --> 00:35:37,070
- Don't stop.
- ZORA: 25%.
767
00:35:37,075 --> 00:35:38,075
Commander Stamets.
768
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,895
- No, just a little longer!
- 20%.
769
00:35:41,508 --> 00:35:42,936
ZORA: 15%.
770
00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:44,675
Ten percent.
771
00:35:45,741 --> 00:35:47,508
Five percent.
772
00:35:48,008 --> 00:35:49,436
Oh, come on!
773
00:35:49,441 --> 00:35:51,275
This experiment is over.
774
00:35:54,208 --> 00:35:55,836
RENO: That is the closest you've come
775
00:35:55,841 --> 00:35:59,075
to killing us all, and that
is really saying something.
776
00:36:04,108 --> 00:36:06,103
Commander Rhys, come in.
777
00:36:06,108 --> 00:36:08,071
RHYS: Captain, we've
been trying to reach you.
778
00:36:08,075 --> 00:36:09,770
Are the evacuations complete?
779
00:36:09,775 --> 00:36:11,336
- Yes.
- Great.
780
00:36:11,341 --> 00:36:12,661
Head back to Discovery.
781
00:36:12,666 --> 00:36:15,694
We've got things covered here. Mr. Saru?
782
00:36:15,699 --> 00:36:17,761
SARU: Oh, it is good to hear your voice.
783
00:36:17,766 --> 00:36:20,670
(CHUCKLES) Yours, too.
Five to transport.
784
00:36:20,675 --> 00:36:22,241
Stand by for more.
785
00:36:25,341 --> 00:36:26,770
Come on, let's go.
786
00:36:26,775 --> 00:36:29,575
I needed to be sure
the others got out...
787
00:36:31,541 --> 00:36:33,708
... but I'm staying.
788
00:36:41,708 --> 00:36:43,303
Six minutes left.
789
00:36:44,208 --> 00:36:46,703
Come on. We need to go.
790
00:36:46,708 --> 00:36:49,736
I resolved to die here a long time ago.
791
00:36:49,741 --> 00:36:52,703
I wish to stay until my jailers return,
792
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:54,070
or until the anomaly hits.
793
00:36:54,075 --> 00:36:57,170
- That's insane.
- Perhaps to you.
794
00:36:57,575 --> 00:37:00,503
I believe it's part of my penance.
795
00:37:00,508 --> 00:37:01,770
BURNHAM: No.
796
00:37:01,775 --> 00:37:05,570
Felix, listen to me. You have
years ahead of you still.
797
00:37:05,575 --> 00:37:08,370
You can live a different kind of life.
798
00:37:08,775 --> 00:37:11,236
That is not what I want.
799
00:37:11,241 --> 00:37:13,736
It's been a long day.
He's not thinking clearly.
800
00:37:13,741 --> 00:37:17,003
You could force me, of course.
801
00:37:17,008 --> 00:37:19,975
But is it really your choice to make?
802
00:37:21,941 --> 00:37:25,803
This is where I committed my crime.
803
00:37:25,808 --> 00:37:28,441
This is where I need to remain.
804
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:35,270
Whether my life is to end
in years or moments,
805
00:37:35,275 --> 00:37:37,703
it is my life.
806
00:37:38,108 --> 00:37:41,103
My debt to pay.
807
00:37:41,108 --> 00:37:45,108
Please, do not take that from me.
808
00:37:47,441 --> 00:37:49,641
It's his choice to make.
809
00:37:50,608 --> 00:37:52,336
You said no one left behind.
810
00:37:52,341 --> 00:37:54,470
We have to respect his agency, don't we?
811
00:37:54,475 --> 00:37:56,136
And let him kill himself?
812
00:37:56,141 --> 00:37:58,075
It's a risk, not a certainty.
813
00:37:58,875 --> 00:38:00,775
And if you want to stay...
814
00:38:01,641 --> 00:38:03,641
Michael.
815
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:09,203
We have to save him.
816
00:38:09,208 --> 00:38:11,270
I can't just...
817
00:38:11,275 --> 00:38:13,336
I am sorry.
818
00:38:13,341 --> 00:38:14,770
But the longer we debate this,
819
00:38:14,775 --> 00:38:17,808
we're putting our lives
in danger. And his.
820
00:38:21,575 --> 00:38:23,770
We can use this to communicate.
821
00:38:23,775 --> 00:38:26,341
And I'll tell you as soon
as I'm sure of the trajectory.
822
00:38:28,608 --> 00:38:30,108
FELIX: Before you go...
823
00:38:34,975 --> 00:38:37,408
I kept it safe for 30 years.
824
00:38:38,608 --> 00:38:40,741
Now I ask you to do the same.
825
00:38:41,741 --> 00:38:43,475
I will.
826
00:38:44,941 --> 00:38:47,270
I'm grateful.
827
00:38:47,275 --> 00:38:49,275
For everything.
828
00:38:55,108 --> 00:38:57,170
Book.
829
00:38:57,175 --> 00:38:58,908
This is wrong.
830
00:39:09,308 --> 00:39:11,108
BURNHAM: Two to transport.
831
00:39:23,141 --> 00:39:24,741
BURNHAM: Good work today, everyone.
832
00:39:25,341 --> 00:39:27,403
We saved over a thousand lives.
833
00:39:27,408 --> 00:39:29,936
Captain, scans have just confirmed
834
00:39:29,941 --> 00:39:33,403
the asteroid belt will be
within the impact zone.
835
00:39:33,408 --> 00:39:35,970
Then we'll stay in comms
range as long as possible.
836
00:39:35,975 --> 00:39:37,470
Open a channel.
837
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:39,408
Aye, Captain.
838
00:39:41,275 --> 00:39:43,036
Felix, can you hear me?
839
00:39:43,041 --> 00:39:44,903
It's coming, isn't it?
840
00:39:44,908 --> 00:39:47,436
There's too much interference
to beam you up now.
841
00:39:47,441 --> 00:39:49,070
I'm sorry.
842
00:39:49,075 --> 00:39:52,703
Don't be. I'm not.
843
00:39:52,708 --> 00:39:56,403
I'd like to tell you what
happened, what I did,
844
00:39:56,408 --> 00:39:57,608
if you'd like to hear it.
845
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:01,270
I've never told anyone.
846
00:40:01,275 --> 00:40:03,803
It's not a burden I wish
to carry beyond this life.
847
00:40:03,808 --> 00:40:06,436
Lieutenant Christopher, please
raise the privacy barrier.
848
00:40:06,441 --> 00:40:07,903
No.
849
00:40:07,908 --> 00:40:11,203
I've been behind walls long enough.
850
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:14,241
- Whoever's there, they may hear this as well.
- Okay.
851
00:40:15,541 --> 00:40:17,138
30 years ago,
852
00:40:17,143 --> 00:40:19,003
I was a man with nothing.
853
00:40:19,008 --> 00:40:23,508
A stranger gave me shelter and a meal.
854
00:40:26,541 --> 00:40:29,536
I waited until he went to sleep
855
00:40:29,541 --> 00:40:32,070
and I robbed him.
856
00:40:32,075 --> 00:40:36,108
He caught me in the act, we struggled.
857
00:40:37,341 --> 00:40:39,075
I killed him.
858
00:40:41,041 --> 00:40:43,403
His child was in the other room.
859
00:40:43,408 --> 00:40:46,336
It wasn't until later
860
00:40:46,341 --> 00:40:48,803
that I realized among the things I stole
861
00:40:48,808 --> 00:40:52,141
was the family's lalogi orb.
862
00:40:54,875 --> 00:40:58,141
Not only did I take that
girl's future from her...
863
00:41:00,275 --> 00:41:02,841
... I took her past as well.
864
00:41:05,375 --> 00:41:08,408
I think about her every day.
865
00:41:10,808 --> 00:41:13,141
How that must have changed her.
866
00:41:15,408 --> 00:41:17,870
How she's carried it with her.
867
00:41:17,875 --> 00:41:20,075
Do you know her name?
868
00:41:21,075 --> 00:41:23,741
The family was called Doxica.

886
00:43:02,408 --> 00:43:05,236
that wherever you find a new home,
887
00:43:05,241 --> 00:43:08,270
you'll be arriving as a refugee
888
00:43:08,275 --> 00:43:10,908
seeking shelter and grace.
889
00:43:12,308 --> 00:43:14,070
I hope you find a more just society
890
00:43:14,075 --> 00:43:16,775
than the one you had a hand in creating.
891
00:43:19,041 --> 00:43:22,641
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a ship to command.
892
00:43:28,141 --> 00:43:29,441
(DOOR WHOOSHES SHUT)
893
00:43:30,208 --> 00:43:31,936
So, how'd it go today?
894
00:43:31,941 --> 00:43:34,736
Uh, the refugees are turning in
for the night.
895
00:43:35,441 --> 00:43:37,703
Resettlement begins tomorrow.
896
00:43:37,708 --> 00:43:39,236
How was your day?
897
00:43:39,241 --> 00:43:42,770
Oh, uh, crazy.
898
00:43:42,775 --> 00:43:44,770
We learned a lot,
899
00:43:44,775 --> 00:43:46,803
though not as much as we could've,
900
00:43:46,808 --> 00:43:51,636
and, um, Tarka is a genius, no question,
901
00:43:51,641 --> 00:43:55,136
but, um, he scares me, too.
902
00:43:55,541 --> 00:43:58,636
He is so single-minded about his work,
903
00:43:58,641 --> 00:44:01,336
he cares about literally nothing else.
904
00:44:01,341 --> 00:44:03,041
Hmm.
905
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:06,675
Actually feels a little familiar.
906
00:44:10,808 --> 00:44:12,503
How are you feeling?
907
00:44:12,508 --> 00:44:15,136
Fine.
908
00:44:15,141 --> 00:44:18,536
That was an avoiding "fine",
not a real "fine".
909
00:44:18,541 --> 00:44:20,870
Your eyes are the tell.
910
00:44:21,275 --> 00:44:23,003
Really?
911
00:44:23,008 --> 00:44:25,975
You look down. Every time.
912
00:44:28,975 --> 00:44:32,003
Kovich told me I'm wearing myself out.
913
00:44:32,008 --> 00:44:33,570
He's right.
914
00:44:33,575 --> 00:44:37,570
He said I'm using work as a crutch.
915
00:44:37,575 --> 00:44:40,608
And that I need to take a break.
916
00:44:42,475 --> 00:44:45,236
Maybe that's why
I fell in love with you.
917
00:44:45,241 --> 00:44:47,303
We have the same pathology.
918
00:44:47,308 --> 00:44:48,536
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
919
00:44:48,541 --> 00:44:50,071
Making you either a total narcissist
920
00:44:50,076 --> 00:44:51,336
or a glutton for punishment.
921
00:44:51,341 --> 00:44:53,408
Little column A, little column B.
922
00:44:56,575 --> 00:44:59,170
Look at us.
923
00:44:59,175 --> 00:45:02,036
We jumped a thousand years
into the future,
924
00:45:02,041 --> 00:45:04,070
we helped solve the Burn,
925
00:45:04,075 --> 00:45:06,408
and we can't figure our own shit out.
926
00:45:15,408 --> 00:45:17,037
BURNHAM: Zora, have you found her yet?
927
00:45:17,042 --> 00:45:18,571
ZORA: I have confirmed that the woman
928
00:45:18,576 --> 00:45:20,904
you seek is on board,
currently at Deck Four,
929
00:45:20,909 --> 00:45:23,137
- Airlock Two.
- Thank you.
930
00:45:23,142 --> 00:45:25,970
And I'd like to offer
my condolences, Captain.
931
00:45:25,975 --> 00:45:28,770
I infer from micro-inflections
in your voice
932
00:45:28,775 --> 00:45:31,303
that you are experiencing sorrow.
933
00:45:31,308 --> 00:45:33,836
It's been a tough day.
934
00:45:33,841 --> 00:45:37,741
It can be painful to weigh
duty against compassion.
935
00:45:39,608 --> 00:45:41,603
I wasn't aware you had
the operational parameters
936
00:45:41,608 --> 00:45:43,170
to make an observation like that.
937
00:45:43,175 --> 00:45:45,270
The understanding and
experience of emotion
938
00:45:45,275 --> 00:45:48,236
naturally leads to feelings
of empathy for others.
939
00:45:48,241 --> 00:45:50,603
You feel emotions?
940
00:45:50,608 --> 00:45:52,236
It is a recent development.
941
00:45:52,241 --> 00:45:53,670
(SOFT WHOOSH)
942
00:45:53,675 --> 00:45:55,136
We have arrived.
943
00:45:55,141 --> 00:45:57,236
It was nice speaking with you, Captain.
944
00:45:57,241 --> 00:45:59,108
With you too, Zora.
945
00:46:03,308 --> 00:46:06,136
FEMALE: Attention: duty
logs have been updated
946
00:46:06,141 --> 00:46:09,570
to reflect new rotations,
effective immediately.
947
00:46:09,575 --> 00:46:12,470
BURNHAM: Patri Doxica?
948
00:46:12,475 --> 00:46:15,641
- I'm Captain Burnham.
- Hello.
949
00:46:17,275 --> 00:46:19,808
I believe this may belong to you.
950
00:46:20,775 --> 00:46:22,441
I...
951
00:46:24,975 --> 00:46:27,936
I thought it was lost years ago.
952
00:46:27,941 --> 00:46:29,236
How did you... ?
953
00:46:29,241 --> 00:46:31,208
I'm helping someone keep a promise.
954
00:46:40,375 --> 00:46:42,303
This was my father.
955
00:46:42,308 --> 00:46:44,536
He was killed when I was a girl.
956
00:46:44,541 --> 00:46:48,603
We're meant to be added
to the tree when we come of age.
957
00:46:48,608 --> 00:46:51,136
I didn't have the chance.
958
00:46:51,141 --> 00:46:53,141
Now you do.
959
00:46:53,908 --> 00:46:55,641
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
960
00:47:09,608 --> 00:47:11,741
Thank you.
961
00:47:12,708 --> 00:47:16,270
I hope it continues to grow
962
00:47:16,275 --> 00:47:18,675
for many generations to come.
963
00:47:31,641 --> 00:47:33,208
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
964
00:47:44,075 --> 00:47:48,570
I can smell synthehol ale
across the room.
965
00:47:48,575 --> 00:47:51,136
Here, try some of the real stuff.
966
00:47:51,141 --> 00:47:52,903
Risian whiskey.
967
00:47:52,908 --> 00:47:54,503
Thanks.
968
00:47:54,508 --> 00:47:58,536
You're Cleveland Booker,
the other spore drive operator.
969
00:47:58,541 --> 00:48:01,170
I read your file.
970
00:48:01,175 --> 00:48:02,841
Ruon Tarka.
971
00:48:04,475 --> 00:48:07,003
You were working with Stamets today.
972
00:48:07,008 --> 00:48:08,536
Mm-hmm.
973
00:48:08,541 --> 00:48:12,303
Also saw that colony
get pushed into the sun.
974
00:48:12,308 --> 00:48:14,370
That was quite a show.
975
00:48:14,375 --> 00:48:16,136
At least you got everyone out.
976
00:48:16,141 --> 00:48:17,875
Yeah. Almost.
977
00:48:19,341 --> 00:48:21,836
"Almost" was the story of my day, too.
978
00:48:21,841 --> 00:48:26,370
I came this close
to something... incredible.
979
00:48:26,875 --> 00:48:30,403
You know who's behind
the DMA, don't you?
980
00:48:30,408 --> 00:48:34,503
(LAUGHS) You say that
with such confidence.
981
00:48:34,508 --> 00:48:36,170
A man only gets as close as you did
982
00:48:36,175 --> 00:48:39,036
when he has some idea
what's over the cliff.
983
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:40,936
So who made it?
984
00:48:40,941 --> 00:48:43,103
I don't know.
985
00:48:43,108 --> 00:48:45,336
Yet.
986
00:48:45,341 --> 00:48:47,603
But I could've told you it
wasn't the Metrons
987
00:48:47,608 --> 00:48:50,603
or the Nacene or the Iconians
well before I got here.
988
00:48:50,608 --> 00:48:52,670
So why the experiment?
989
00:48:52,675 --> 00:48:54,903
Why risk the lives of everyone on board?
990
00:48:54,908 --> 00:48:57,503
Science has many purposes.
991
00:48:57,508 --> 00:48:59,375
Try again.
992
00:49:01,941 --> 00:49:04,736
I constructed a model
of the DMA controller
993
00:49:04,741 --> 00:49:08,403
at a scale of 3.22 times
10 to the negative 17th.
994
00:49:08,408 --> 00:49:10,403
This entire ship
995
00:49:10,408 --> 00:49:13,003
couldn't provide enough
juice to keep it stable.
996
00:49:13,008 --> 00:49:16,136
Which means the actual device
997
00:49:16,141 --> 00:49:20,375
has an energy source equivalent
to a hypergiant star.
998
00:49:22,375 --> 00:49:24,836
Unfathomable power.
999
00:49:24,841 --> 00:49:26,736
Maybe they're gods.
1000
00:49:26,741 --> 00:49:29,270
Whoever they are, they're not gods.
1001
00:49:29,275 --> 00:49:32,403
And they're sure as hell
aren't immortal.
1002
00:49:32,408 --> 00:49:36,275
So much anger, no place to put it.
1003
00:49:37,908 --> 00:49:39,270
You don't know me.
1004
00:49:39,275 --> 00:49:41,936
No, but I know anger.
1005
00:49:41,941 --> 00:49:44,975
It's a wonderfully productive emotion.
1006
00:49:58,841 --> 00:50:01,070
Nice to meet you, Mr. Booker.
1007
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,560
