1
00:01:16,275 --> 00:01:20,212
"We come in peace."
2
00:01:25,069 --> 00:01:27,519
We come in peace...
that's why we're here.
3
00:01:27,544 --> 00:01:29,319
Isn't that the whole idea of Starfleet?
4
00:01:29,344 --> 00:01:31,399
Hey, I taught you that.
5
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:32,664
You don't trust me, Captain?
6
00:01:32,689 --> 00:01:34,664
I trust you with my life,
Commander Burnham,
7
00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:37,439
but it doesn't change the
fact that you're lost.
8
00:01:37,924 --> 00:01:39,884
Very lost.
9
00:01:40,415 --> 00:01:42,374
Technically, we would be lost.
10
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:44,318
How long until that storm
11
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,108
comes crashing down on us?
12
00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:47,478
I estimate one hour,
13
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:49,664
17 minutes, 22 seconds.
14
00:01:49,689 --> 00:01:52,911
Which is why I've made
sure we're not lost.
15
00:01:53,305 --> 00:01:56,305
The map says the well
is this way, Captain.
16
00:01:59,421 --> 00:02:02,044
This drought's going to last 89 years.
17
00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:05,272
The Crepusculans are facing
extinction as a species.
18
00:02:05,393 --> 00:02:06,723
See those egg sacs?
19
00:02:06,748 --> 00:02:08,764
Those are their offspring.
20
00:02:08,819 --> 00:02:12,279
They've survived here for over
a thousand years, Michael.
21
00:02:12,304 --> 00:02:14,424
Right, and if we don't do something now,
22
00:02:14,449 --> 00:02:15,998
they won't live another thousand hours.
23
00:02:16,023 --> 00:02:17,187
The ambient radiation
24
00:02:17,212 --> 00:02:20,091
from a nearby drilling accident
dried out their water table.
25
00:02:20,116 --> 00:02:22,348
If we can get in and out
without making contact,
26
00:02:22,357 --> 00:02:24,486
we can steer clear of General Order One.
27
00:02:24,487 --> 00:02:26,963
And there is the well.
28
00:02:26,988 --> 00:02:28,988
I stand corrected.
29
00:02:29,013 --> 00:02:30,844
Ye of little faith.
30
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:32,622
Oh, never had a doubt.
31
00:02:32,647 --> 00:02:35,832
Tell me what I need to break
through this bedrock.
32
00:02:35,857 --> 00:02:39,396
.7-second field burst
at level setting 13.5.
33
00:03:07,349 --> 00:03:09,229
Georgiou to Shenzhou.
34
00:03:09,254 --> 00:03:10,749
Two to transport.
35
00:03:14,683 --> 00:03:16,954
The storm is moving
faster than I thought.
36
00:03:16,979 --> 00:03:19,019
The ship won't be able to
pick up our signatures.
37
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:21,254
Unless we can contact Lieutenant Saru,
38
00:03:21,279 --> 00:03:23,399
we could be trapped
here until it's over.
39
00:03:23,515 --> 00:03:25,378
Let's take a walk.
40
00:03:57,325 --> 00:04:00,540
Follow my footsteps,
Michael, even lines.
41
00:04:00,565 --> 00:04:02,475
Why? Captain, where are we going?
42
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,389
It's your turn to trust me, Number One.
43
00:04:04,414 --> 00:04:06,162
But now we're really lost.
44
00:04:06,187 --> 00:04:09,201
We're far too small to be
seen with the naked eye.
45
00:04:09,226 --> 00:04:11,469
And you can't set a
course without a star.
46
00:04:11,494 --> 00:04:12,945
Is it wise to be heading
47
00:04:12,970 --> 00:04:15,945
- away from the village?
- It's hard to imagine
48
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:18,609
you've served under me for seven years.
49
00:04:18,634 --> 00:04:20,554
I think it's time
50
00:04:20,579 --> 00:04:23,529
that we talked about you
having your own command.
51
00:04:26,508 --> 00:04:28,458
I'm grateful, Captain.
52
00:04:30,168 --> 00:04:32,458
Though I would be significantly more so
53
00:04:32,483 --> 00:04:35,338
if I thought we had any chance
of ever returning to the ship.
54
00:04:35,731 --> 00:04:37,941
Just keep walking, Michael.
55
00:04:37,966 --> 00:04:39,247
What will you do
56
00:04:39,273 --> 00:04:41,325
if you were stuck here for 89 years?
57
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:42,991
A likely scenario...
58
00:04:43,016 --> 00:04:44,593
unless we die here in the desert.
59
00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:46,913
But say you lived.
60
00:04:46,938 --> 00:04:49,343
As a xenoanthropologist,
I could reveal myself
61
00:04:49,368 --> 00:04:51,408
to the natives, learn their culture,
62
00:04:51,433 --> 00:04:53,712
try to fit in... if possible.
63
00:04:53,737 --> 00:04:55,577
And you, Captain?
64
00:04:55,602 --> 00:04:57,892
What will you do if we're
trapped here for 89 years?
65
00:04:57,917 --> 00:05:00,462
That's easy. I'd escape.
66
00:05:00,828 --> 00:05:02,668
These are our footprints.
67
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:04,930
You've walked us in a circle.
68
00:05:04,955 --> 00:05:07,311
Not exactly a circle.
69
00:05:26,601 --> 00:05:28,839
How did they find us?
70
00:05:28,864 --> 00:05:31,114
I set a star.

First Officer's Log, Stardate 1207.3.
73
00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:35,508
On Earth, it's May 11, 2256,
74
00:07:35,624 --> 00:07:37,834
a Sunday.
75
00:07:37,859 --> 00:07:40,124
The crew of the U.S.S. Shenzhou
76
00:07:40,149 --> 00:07:42,003
has been called to the
edge of Federation space
77
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:45,682
to investigate damage done to
one of our interstellar relays.
78
00:07:45,835 --> 00:07:48,284
Blast burns around the
hole are inconclusive.
79
00:07:48,637 --> 00:07:50,557
Were they caused by an asteroid,
80
00:07:50,582 --> 00:07:52,162
or was it deliberately destroyed
81
00:07:52,187 --> 00:07:54,437
to limit Starfleet communications?
82
00:07:54,462 --> 00:07:56,462
And if so, by whom?
83
00:07:57,235 --> 00:07:59,115
Despite the risks of our mission,
84
00:07:59,140 --> 00:08:01,030
I remain optimistic.
85
00:08:01,055 --> 00:08:04,845
It's hard not to be in the
face of such beauty...
86
00:08:04,874 --> 00:08:07,810
in this case, a binary star system.
87
00:08:07,835 --> 00:08:09,545
Around these two suns,
88
00:08:09,570 --> 00:08:11,929
ice, dust and gasses collide
89
00:08:11,954 --> 00:08:15,267
to form the planets future
generations will call home.
90
00:08:15,292 --> 00:08:17,447
A humbling reminder that all life
91
00:08:17,472 --> 00:08:20,220
is born from chaos and destruction.
92
00:08:20,245 --> 00:08:21,604
Based on initial readings,
93
00:08:21,629 --> 00:08:23,229
I would say the relay doesn't appear
94
00:08:23,254 --> 00:08:24,834
to have been damaged naturally.
95
00:08:24,908 --> 00:08:26,998
I don't like the look of that.
96
00:08:27,023 --> 00:08:28,353
Well, keep looking.
97
00:08:28,378 --> 00:08:29,898
Well, the comment was figurative;
98
00:08:29,923 --> 00:08:31,383
I'm expressing concern.
99
00:08:31,408 --> 00:08:33,908
Finish your scans so you
can express facts instead.
100
00:08:34,024 --> 00:08:36,234
The bridge is yours, Mr. Saru.
101
00:08:36,259 --> 00:08:37,652
Yes...
102
00:08:37,677 --> 00:08:39,057
Commander.
103
00:08:40,655 --> 00:08:42,325
Yes, Number One.
104
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:44,509
Your chief science officer is worried.
105
00:08:44,534 --> 00:08:46,423
Something took a bite out of our relay.
106
00:08:46,448 --> 00:08:48,078
Saru thinks it was malicious.
107
00:08:48,103 --> 00:08:51,103
Saru's Kelpien... he thinks
everything's malicious.
108
00:08:51,218 --> 00:08:52,798
What do you think?
109
00:08:52,823 --> 00:08:54,287
Any idea what it is?
110
00:08:54,312 --> 00:08:56,834
By all indications, nothing intelligent.
111
00:08:56,859 --> 00:08:58,269
But...?
112
00:08:58,294 --> 00:09:01,344
Starfleet's reputation for
tech hygiene is exemplary.
113
00:09:01,369 --> 00:09:02,699
When a relay goes down,
114
00:09:02,724 --> 00:09:05,089
the Federation sends a ship to fix it.
115
00:09:05,114 --> 00:09:07,374
You think someone's trying
to get our attention?
116
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,399
If they are, they have.
117
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,250
Lieutenant Saru, what do we have?
118
00:09:14,275 --> 00:09:17,235
Ah. I have taken the
initiative of keeping us
119
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,930
at maximum scanning distance
120
00:09:18,955 --> 00:09:20,523
in case of anything threatening
out there, Captain.
121
00:09:20,548 --> 00:09:23,064
Yes. Number One tells me
you suspect foul play.
122
00:09:23,089 --> 00:09:24,827
Despite the first
officer's constant need
123
00:09:24,852 --> 00:09:26,811
to dismiss my ideas...
124
00:09:26,836 --> 00:09:28,523
She apparently agrees with you.
125
00:09:28,548 --> 00:09:30,039
Really?
126
00:09:30,064 --> 00:09:31,235
I'm shocked as well.
127
00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:32,625
Ensign Connor,
128
00:09:32,650 --> 00:09:34,610
agreement between my senior officers.
129
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,946
Note the date and time.
130
00:09:35,971 --> 00:09:36,971
Noted, Captain.
131
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:38,376
Is this amount of sarcasm
132
00:09:38,401 --> 00:09:39,615
always necessary?
133
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,930
Necessary? No.
134
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,750
But I do like it.
135
00:09:42,814 --> 00:09:44,485
There is something else out there.
136
00:09:44,510 --> 00:09:46,009
What do you have, Saru?
137
00:09:46,010 --> 00:09:47,260
Recalibrating sensors.
138
00:09:47,285 --> 00:09:49,035
Electronic alignment in process.
139
00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:52,448
Active scans are being deflected.
140
00:09:52,473 --> 00:09:53,861
I'm having trouble locating the source.
141
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:55,317
So something's out there,
142
00:09:55,342 --> 00:09:57,592
but no one can tell me
where or what it is.
143
00:09:57,617 --> 00:09:59,137
Ah, wait.
144
00:09:59,162 --> 00:10:00,242
I have it.
145
00:10:02,113 --> 00:10:03,323
No. Recalibrating.
146
00:10:03,348 --> 00:10:05,228
Any time now, Mr. Saru.
147
00:10:05,253 --> 00:10:07,333
I have it.
148
00:10:07,426 --> 00:10:09,426
Magnify.
149
00:10:09,451 --> 00:10:11,621
Is that what damaged our relay?
150
00:10:11,646 --> 00:10:13,476
What am I looking at?
151
00:10:14,487 --> 00:10:16,777
Object of unknown origin.
152
00:10:16,802 --> 00:10:18,757
Let's get more specific.
153
00:10:18,802 --> 00:10:20,552
I'm unable to bring it into focus.
154
00:10:20,577 --> 00:10:21,913
Number One?
155
00:10:22,483 --> 00:10:24,976
Range is 2,000 kilometers.
156
00:10:25,001 --> 00:10:26,591
Bearing 358 mark 269.
157
00:10:26,829 --> 00:10:30,047
Roughly 150 meters long, tucked
into that accretion disk.
158
00:10:30,072 --> 00:10:31,415
Almost directly below us.
159
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,530
It's in a sensor dead zone.
160
00:10:33,682 --> 00:10:36,196
Some kind of scattering field is
confounding the ship's ability
161
00:10:36,221 --> 00:10:37,632
to translate the image.
162
00:10:37,657 --> 00:10:39,907
As science officer,
163
00:10:39,932 --> 00:10:43,205
I can provide a far more
concrete and in-depth analysis
164
00:10:43,262 --> 00:10:45,575
than simply reading data off a monitor.
165
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,608
But considering it's scrambling
our optical processors,
166
00:10:49,633 --> 00:10:51,983
how are we going to be able to see it?
167
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Thoughts, Number One?
168
00:10:58,435 --> 00:11:02,105
With such little data, I'd
prefer not to speculate.
169
00:11:02,130 --> 00:11:04,630
Oh, I will. It's lurking.
170
00:11:04,722 --> 00:11:06,840
The scattering field it's
emitting suggests intent.
171
00:11:06,865 --> 00:11:08,430
We see something we don't understand
172
00:11:08,455 --> 00:11:09,668
and instantly cast judgment?
173
00:11:09,693 --> 00:11:11,019
Maybe it's lost.
174
00:11:11,044 --> 00:11:13,090
Maybe it's afraid to
show us its whole self.
175
00:11:13,115 --> 00:11:16,405
Hiding, but maybe hoping to be found.
176
00:11:17,657 --> 00:11:20,157
Here we are, speculating.
177
00:11:20,182 --> 00:11:25,072
I respectfully recommend
we leave it alone.
178
00:11:25,097 --> 00:11:27,347
I'm not sure we have much choice.
179
00:11:27,372 --> 00:11:30,196
We can't lock on to it, and
we don't have a shuttle
180
00:11:30,221 --> 00:11:32,237
maneuverable enough
to navigate the ring.
181
00:11:32,262 --> 00:11:34,009
I'll go.
182
00:11:34,034 --> 00:11:35,798
All I need is a thruster pack.
183
00:11:35,823 --> 00:11:37,653
With the high levels of radiation
184
00:11:37,678 --> 00:11:39,748
kicking off those binaries,
she'll have 20 minutes
185
00:11:39,773 --> 00:11:42,483
until her DNA starts to
unravel like noodles.
186
00:11:42,508 --> 00:11:43,678
Like noodles?
187
00:11:43,727 --> 00:11:46,347
I'll be back in 19. A flyby.
188
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,622
It seems a waste of the ship's
189
00:11:47,647 --> 00:11:48,723
resources. What will be gained?
190
00:11:48,748 --> 00:11:50,176
You do understand that being afraid
191
00:11:50,201 --> 00:11:52,505
of everything means you learn nothing.
192
00:11:52,530 --> 00:11:54,830
There's no opportunity to discover,
193
00:11:54,855 --> 00:11:56,605
- to explore.
- And here I thought
194
00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:58,833
we were doing a deep-space
communication relay audit.
195
00:11:58,858 --> 00:12:00,598
You're both right.
196
00:12:00,632 --> 00:12:01,926
Saru, go with her.
197
00:12:01,951 --> 00:12:03,014
- Captain!
- Captain!
198
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:04,036
Best to keep variables
199
00:12:04,061 --> 00:12:05,122
to a minimum. I wouldn't want
200
00:12:05,147 --> 00:12:06,379
to put my colleague at risk.
201
00:12:06,411 --> 00:12:08,200
And you, Mr. Saru, are you equally
202
00:12:08,225 --> 00:12:09,936
happy not to be put at risk?
203
00:12:09,961 --> 00:12:11,961
Oh, on any occasion, Captain.
204
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:15,367
You realize,
205
00:12:15,392 --> 00:12:17,943
once you reach that scattering field,
206
00:12:17,968 --> 00:12:20,098
you could be cut off
from all communication.
207
00:12:20,123 --> 00:12:22,333
We've come all this way, Captain.
208
00:12:22,358 --> 00:12:24,950
It would be... irresponsible
209
00:12:24,975 --> 00:12:27,015
to leave whatever that is unknown.
210
00:12:27,092 --> 00:12:29,111
Just a flyby.
211
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:32,510
Just a flyby.
212
00:12:32,535 --> 00:12:34,817
Commencing airlock
213
00:12:34,842 --> 00:12:36,685
depressurization sequence.
214
00:12:38,895 --> 00:12:41,591
Commander Burnham, this
is Ensign Danby Connor.
215
00:12:41,616 --> 00:12:43,638
On behalf of Captain
Georgiou and the entire crew
216
00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:45,163
of the U.S.S. Shenzhou,
217
00:12:45,188 --> 00:12:47,098
we'd like to welcome you to flight 819
218
00:12:47,123 --> 00:12:49,423
with non-stop service to the
"object of unknown origin."
219
00:12:49,448 --> 00:12:52,651
The temperature outside is a
brisk minus-260 degrees Celsius.
220
00:12:52,676 --> 00:12:54,346
We are forecasting some mild debris,
221
00:12:54,371 --> 00:12:55,781
but anticipate a smooth ride.
222
00:13:04,357 --> 00:13:06,297
This is Commander Burnham.
223
00:13:06,322 --> 00:13:07,902
Commencing reconnaissance mission
224
00:13:07,927 --> 00:13:09,927
to field void and unknown object.
225
00:13:09,952 --> 00:13:12,239
Data collection is on and nominal.
226
00:13:12,264 --> 00:13:14,199
All lights are green.
227
00:13:14,224 --> 00:13:16,215
Establishing interlink frequency
228
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,527
with Commander Burnham's EV.
229
00:13:17,552 --> 00:13:18,607
Channel clear...
230
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:20,342
and ready to transmit.
231
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:22,505
Confirming six-second directional thrust
232
00:13:22,530 --> 00:13:24,693
for saucer realignment.
233
00:13:25,575 --> 00:13:27,955
Commencing final
prelaunch system checks.
234
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:29,600
Life support: nominal.
235
00:13:29,625 --> 00:13:32,295
Oxygen/nitrogen saturation: nominal.
236
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,635
Air pressure and flow: nominal.
237
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:36,601
Communication module: active.
238
00:13:42,198 --> 00:13:45,799
Filters at 0.01% saturation.
239
00:13:49,955 --> 00:13:51,955
Preflight checklist complete.
240
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:57,887
The object is 2,000 kilometers...
241
00:14:00,397 --> 00:14:03,318
Computer, enable igniter.
242
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,565
Ten seconds to thruster ignition.
243
00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:08,590
Ten, nine, eight,
244
00:14:08,615 --> 00:14:11,573
seven, six, five,
245
00:14:11,607 --> 00:14:16,586
four, three, two, one.
246
00:14:35,026 --> 00:14:36,562
Body scan on line, heart rate
247
00:14:36,563 --> 00:14:38,994
79 and rising, BP 130/70.
248
00:14:39,019 --> 00:14:40,399
That's a little elevated for her.
249
00:14:40,424 --> 00:14:41,754
She's having fun.
250
00:14:41,779 --> 00:14:43,529
Almost to the debris field, Captain.
251
00:14:43,554 --> 00:14:45,144
Understood.
252
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,168
Michael, watch your time.
253
00:14:47,193 --> 00:14:49,421
19 minutes, not a nanosecond longer.
254
00:14:49,446 --> 00:14:51,132
Aye, Captain.
255
00:14:51,157 --> 00:14:52,617
I'm fully aware.
256
00:14:52,702 --> 00:14:53,912
Boost signal.
257
00:14:53,937 --> 00:14:56,310
Unable to comply. Scattering field.
258
00:14:56,335 --> 00:14:57,658
It must be interfering with comms.
259
00:14:57,683 --> 00:14:58,974
Mission clock at 17 minutes,
260
00:14:58,999 --> 00:14:59,841
30 seconds.
261
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:00,866
Interference is starting
262
00:15:00,891 --> 00:15:02,011
to degrade resolution.
263
00:15:02,036 --> 00:15:03,138
Routing additional power
264
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,333
to subspace antenna.
265
00:15:10,486 --> 00:15:12,822
Shenzhou, do you copy?
266
00:15:12,847 --> 00:15:14,566
Distance to object 1,000
kilometers and closing.
267
00:15:14,591 --> 00:15:16,284
Shenzhou, do you copy?
268
00:15:16,309 --> 00:15:18,581
Implementing automatic
course correction.
269
00:15:34,367 --> 00:15:36,822
Hello.
270
00:15:36,847 --> 00:15:39,212
Shenzhou, are you able to see this?
271
00:15:40,852 --> 00:15:43,102
Michael, can you hear me? Acknowledge.
272
00:15:43,601 --> 00:15:45,827
Michael? Can you hear me?
273
00:15:45,852 --> 00:15:47,311
Acknowledge.
274
00:15:47,336 --> 00:15:48,804
There's just too much interference.
275
00:15:48,829 --> 00:15:50,936
Shenzhou, do you copy?
276
00:15:52,610 --> 00:15:54,357
Data Collection Unit, are you there?
277
00:15:54,382 --> 00:15:56,132
Internal computer on line.
278
00:15:56,157 --> 00:15:58,662
Good. Mission time?
279
00:15:58,687 --> 00:16:00,617
12 minutes, 58 seconds.
280
00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:04,792
Plenty of time to take a peek.
281
00:16:04,817 --> 00:16:08,039
Even from this distance,
it's clearly not debris.
282
00:16:08,515 --> 00:16:11,795
12 minutes and 48 seconds until
maximum radiation exposure.
283
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,593
The commander is less than ten
meters from the outermost
284
00:16:13,618 --> 00:16:15,258
edge of the scattering field.
285
00:16:15,712 --> 00:16:17,996
I can't remember who said sculptures are
286
00:16:18,021 --> 00:16:20,311
crystallized spirituality.
287
00:16:20,336 --> 00:16:22,058
Headlamp.
288
00:16:22,083 --> 00:16:23,173
But I see what they meant.
289
00:16:23,198 --> 00:16:25,158
This is Burnham in the blind.
290
00:16:25,183 --> 00:16:27,223
I'm above the object, which is old.
291
00:16:27,592 --> 00:16:29,792
Centuries old.
292
00:16:29,817 --> 00:16:33,829
It's difficult to tell if it
was constructed or carved.
293
00:16:34,592 --> 00:16:37,376
The only word to effectively
describe it is...
294
00:16:37,401 --> 00:16:39,901
wow.
295
00:16:40,632 --> 00:16:43,552
But I'll try to be more precise.
296
00:16:43,577 --> 00:16:45,592
Its surface has the appearance of stone
297
00:16:45,617 --> 00:16:48,407
with an exoskeleton of metal alloy.
298
00:16:51,072 --> 00:16:53,072
Incredibly intricate.
299
00:16:53,097 --> 00:16:56,388
The construction and design are
nothing short of astounding.
300
00:16:57,042 --> 00:16:59,658
I wish you could see what I'm seeing.
301
00:16:59,683 --> 00:17:01,683
It is sublime.
302
00:17:05,252 --> 00:17:08,712
It's impossible to discern
a practical purpose.
303
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,067
Going to land on it, get a closer look.
304
00:17:15,203 --> 00:17:17,163
Nice and easy.
305
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:21,807
Hold on.
306
00:17:21,832 --> 00:17:25,042
My presence has triggered
some sort of motion response.
307
00:17:37,984 --> 00:17:42,578
Mission countdown: ten
minutes, 15 seconds.
308
00:17:44,508 --> 00:17:48,186
Warning. Proximity alert.
309
00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,095
Scanning for database recognition.
310
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,516
Iconography confirmed: Klingon.
311
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:06,989
I'm Commander Burnham
312
00:18:07,393 --> 00:18:09,023
of the United Federation of....
313
00:18:20,778 --> 00:18:22,608
Still no sign of Commander Burnham.
314
00:18:22,633 --> 00:18:24,053
Mission clock
315
00:18:24,078 --> 00:18:25,498
runs out in 15 seconds.
316
00:18:25,657 --> 00:18:27,866
There's still too much interference.
317
00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:28,878
Initiating...
318
00:18:28,903 --> 00:18:31,063
I have Number One.
319
00:18:31,088 --> 00:18:32,011
Telemetry only.
320
00:18:32,036 --> 00:18:33,324
Blood pressure is 70 and falling.
321
00:18:33,349 --> 00:18:34,327
She won't make it unless
we get her back now.
322
00:18:34,352 --> 00:18:35,522
Transporter Control.
323
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:36,761
Do we have her, Mr. Weeton?
324
00:18:36,786 --> 00:18:38,104
Pattern integrity's too weak, Captain.
325
00:18:38,129 --> 00:18:39,999
Saru, get a lock on her.
Boost her signal.
326
00:18:40,024 --> 00:18:42,074
Captain, there is no signal.
327
00:18:42,099 --> 00:18:43,615
You better get me a signal.
328
00:18:43,803 --> 00:18:45,673
Remotely fire her jetpack.
329
00:18:45,698 --> 00:18:47,072
She's off line.
330
00:18:47,096 --> 00:18:48,103
She's floating free.
331
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,487
Engineering. Tractor beam?
332
00:18:49,512 --> 00:18:51,642
Can't get a lock. We're
running manual calculations.
333
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:53,957
The scattering field is
still a problem, Captain.
334
00:18:53,982 --> 00:18:55,474
We can't transport her
until she clears it.
335
00:18:55,499 --> 00:18:57,191
She'll soon exhibit symptoms
336
00:18:57,216 --> 00:18:58,851
of acute radiation syndrome.
337
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:00,981
She's not gonna last much longer.
338
00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:03,713
Hang on.
339
00:19:06,133 --> 00:19:09,677
Shenzhou, please respond.
340
00:19:09,702 --> 00:19:12,266
Commander Burnham?
341
00:19:12,291 --> 00:19:14,092
Commander, please respond.
342
00:19:14,117 --> 00:19:16,303
Control to Commander Burnham.
343
00:19:16,328 --> 00:19:18,158
Commander, do you read?
344
00:19:18,183 --> 00:19:19,604
Please respond.
345
00:21:18,029 --> 00:21:20,644
Pupil Burnham.
346
00:21:20,669 --> 00:21:22,020
Pupil Burnham.
347
00:21:24,224 --> 00:21:26,393
14 solar years.
348
00:21:31,082 --> 00:21:33,952
Klingon social order rests upon?
349
00:21:33,977 --> 00:21:36,100
Inviolable honor/shame dynamic.
350
00:21:36,125 --> 00:21:38,702
Correct. Klingon homeworld Qo'noS.
351
00:21:38,727 --> 00:21:40,542
Unwelcoming to the Federation.
352
00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:42,877
Correct. Klingon political order.
353
00:21:42,902 --> 00:21:44,207
24 great houses.
354
00:21:44,232 --> 00:21:48,692
Correct. Location of the most
recent Klingon terror raid.
355
00:21:49,787 --> 00:21:54,253
Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
356
00:21:54,278 --> 00:21:57,737
Number of survivors at the
Human-Vulcan science outpost
357
00:21:57,762 --> 00:21:59,785
at Doctari Alpha.
358
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:04,676
Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
359
00:22:04,701 --> 00:22:07,201
Number of survivors at Doctari Alpha.
360
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:08,280
No.
361
00:22:08,305 --> 00:22:09,773
Unacceptable response.
362
00:22:09,798 --> 00:22:11,582
- Number of survivors...
- Please.
363
00:22:14,385 --> 00:22:16,095
Stop!
364
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,620
Program paused.
365
00:22:22,397 --> 00:22:24,523
Sarek.
366
00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:26,264
I'm sorry.
367
00:22:26,289 --> 00:22:27,641
I can do better.
368
00:22:27,666 --> 00:22:30,422
When emotion brings us
ghosts from the past,
369
00:22:30,447 --> 00:22:33,430
only logic can root us in the present.
370
00:22:33,455 --> 00:22:35,495
Maybe I can try to learn Vulcan.
371
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,852
To be quicker with my answers.
372
00:22:37,877 --> 00:22:40,457
Your human tongue is not the problem.
373
00:22:40,482 --> 00:22:42,926
It is your human heart.
374
00:22:52,802 --> 00:22:55,472
Good. You're awake.
375
00:22:55,497 --> 00:22:58,237
I was dreaming.
376
00:22:58,262 --> 00:22:59,767
Oh? What about?
377
00:23:00,111 --> 00:23:01,964
Klingons.
378
00:23:01,989 --> 00:23:04,750
How did I get here?
379
00:23:05,201 --> 00:23:07,942
We transported you back
aboard three hours ago.
380
00:23:08,195 --> 00:23:09,945
Three hours?
381
00:23:09,970 --> 00:23:12,321
Antiproton therapy regimen incomplete.
382
00:23:12,346 --> 00:23:14,633
- Commander, what are you doing?
- Session terminated prematurely.
383
00:23:14,658 --> 00:23:16,288
- Medical Emergency
- There's no time.
384
00:23:16,313 --> 00:23:18,704
Commander, wait. The
recombination process
385
00:23:18,729 --> 00:23:19,989
is nowhere near finished.
386
00:23:20,014 --> 00:23:22,072
I need you back in the
antiproton chamber.
387
00:23:22,097 --> 00:23:24,677
Do you understand the effect
of genetic unspooling?
388
00:23:24,702 --> 00:23:26,072
You don't want to die that way.
389
00:23:26,097 --> 00:23:27,492
Commander!
390
00:23:27,517 --> 00:23:29,078
The binaries are kicking off
391
00:23:29,103 --> 00:23:30,927
serious QEs up and down the spectrum.
392
00:23:30,952 --> 00:23:32,252
Targeting gets hot, but I still
393
00:23:32,277 --> 00:23:33,647
can't tell what I'm grabbing onto.
394
00:23:33,672 --> 00:23:35,364
I want to know what's out there, people.
395
00:23:35,389 --> 00:23:37,193
Okay, let's go around the
horn again, by the numbers.
396
00:23:37,223 --> 00:23:39,223
What's going on?
397
00:23:39,497 --> 00:23:41,881
Number One, you should be in sickbay.
398
00:23:41,906 --> 00:23:43,446
What...
399
00:23:43,625 --> 00:23:44,912
Have they made contact?
400
00:23:44,937 --> 00:23:46,409
Who's "they"?
401
00:23:46,434 --> 00:23:47,514
There are Klingons out there.
402
00:23:47,539 --> 00:23:48,829
We need to go to red alert.
403
00:23:48,854 --> 00:23:50,323
Michael.
404
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:55,419
Almost no one has seen a
Klingon in a hundred years.
405
00:23:55,444 --> 00:23:57,524
I have. One attacked me on that object.
406
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,017
Check my helmet cam.
407
00:23:59,042 --> 00:24:00,432
The footage was corrupted.
408
00:24:00,457 --> 00:24:02,610
Internal sensors show that the
commander has entered the bridge
409
00:24:02,635 --> 00:24:03,925
in an irradiated state.
410
00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:05,227
Without immediate treatment,
411
00:24:05,252 --> 00:24:07,258
her condition will most
certainly be terminal.
412
00:24:07,283 --> 00:24:09,463
He was warrior caste.
413
00:24:09,488 --> 00:24:11,964
His-his EV suit bore a
Klingon house insignia.
414
00:24:11,989 --> 00:24:13,666
She also has a grade-three concussion.
415
00:24:13,691 --> 00:24:14,879
I'm not delusional.
416
00:24:14,904 --> 00:24:16,854
This has nothing to
do with a concussion.
417
00:24:16,879 --> 00:24:18,839
Philippa...
418
00:24:19,159 --> 00:24:22,600
there are Klingons.
419
00:24:25,982 --> 00:24:27,902
Red alert.
420
00:24:32,115 --> 00:24:33,732
Tell me what happened.
421
00:24:33,757 --> 00:24:35,467
He ambushed me.
422
00:24:35,504 --> 00:24:37,443
I hit my thruster pack to get away.
423
00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:39,808
I somehow knocked him into his blade.
424
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:41,994
I killed him.
425
00:24:42,782 --> 00:24:45,496
But that object could be hiding
a Klingon raiding party,
426
00:24:45,521 --> 00:24:47,271
obscured behind that scattering field.
427
00:24:47,296 --> 00:24:49,171
If there are Klingons in this sector,
428
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:52,089
they may be responsible for
the damage to our relay.
429
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:54,574
If there are Klingons in this sector,
430
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:56,258
we should withdraw immediately.
431
00:24:56,283 --> 00:24:58,302
This is Federation space.
432
00:24:58,327 --> 00:24:59,777
Retreat is not an option.
433
00:25:00,683 --> 00:25:03,053
Whatever is over there
434
00:25:03,078 --> 00:25:04,686
needs to show itself.
435
00:25:04,711 --> 00:25:07,603
If it's hiding Klingons,
we've got to flush them out.
436
00:25:07,789 --> 00:25:11,108
Target phase cannons on the object.
437
00:25:12,655 --> 00:25:16,240
We cannot destroy another
culture's property on a whim.
438
00:25:16,265 --> 00:25:17,935
I didn't say anything
about destroying it.
439
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,330
Let's make them think
we're going to attack.
440
00:25:20,355 --> 00:25:22,451
Target the object.
441
00:25:22,646 --> 00:25:24,766
We're locked on.
442
00:25:25,016 --> 00:25:26,515
Something is scanning us.
443
00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:28,791
They've detected our weapons signature.
444
00:25:29,055 --> 00:25:31,574
Wait.
445
00:25:43,852 --> 00:25:45,965
Impossible.
446
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:48,030
No warp signatures detected, Captain.
447
00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:50,330
Then where did they come from?
448
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,582
Mr. Gant, disengage
phase-cannon targeting.
449
00:25:54,550 --> 00:25:56,225
Number One, get to sickbay.
450
00:25:56,250 --> 00:25:58,870
I need you fixed up and
back on the bridge, stat.
451
00:25:58,989 --> 00:26:02,089
Mr. Januzzi, contact Starfleet Command.
452
00:26:02,114 --> 00:26:03,824
Send an encoded message.
453
00:26:03,849 --> 00:26:08,068
Tell them we have engaged the Klingons.
454
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:13,443
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
455
00:26:13,468 --> 00:26:14,888
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.
456
00:26:14,913 --> 00:26:17,114
Please respond.
457
00:26:18,533 --> 00:26:20,113
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
458
00:26:20,138 --> 00:26:22,558
this is the Federation Starship
Shenzhou. Please respond.
459
00:29:41,066 --> 00:29:43,026
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
460
00:29:43,051 --> 00:29:45,548
this is the Federation Starship
Shenzhou. Please respond.
461
00:29:45,573 --> 00:29:47,243
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
462
00:29:47,268 --> 00:29:48,704
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.
463
00:29:48,729 --> 00:29:50,939
Please respond.
464
00:29:51,406 --> 00:29:53,297
Is there any chance they can't hear us?
465
00:29:53,322 --> 00:29:55,359
You're transmitting on every
subspace channel there is.
466
00:29:55,384 --> 00:29:58,054
Your orders, Commander?
467
00:29:58,196 --> 00:29:59,446
Any response?
468
00:29:59,471 --> 00:30:00,823
None.
469
00:30:00,848 --> 00:30:03,682
Commander, there is something
470
00:30:03,707 --> 00:30:05,901
I'd like to show you.
471
00:30:08,087 --> 00:30:12,337
Their hull is covered in hollow,
ornamental, metallic pods,
472
00:30:12,362 --> 00:30:14,153
thousands of them, tightly interlocked,
473
00:30:14,178 --> 00:30:17,558
forming a kind of... armor.
474
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:19,388
Not the most efficient defense.
475
00:30:19,443 --> 00:30:23,153
I suspect its purpose is more
symbolic than practical.
476
00:30:23,636 --> 00:30:27,161
They contain Klingon biological material
477
00:30:27,186 --> 00:30:29,034
in various states of decay.
478
00:30:29,059 --> 00:30:30,808
Remote dating is wildly divergent.
479
00:30:30,833 --> 00:30:32,786
Some bones date back thousands of years,
480
00:30:32,811 --> 00:30:34,036
others only hours old.
481
00:30:34,061 --> 00:30:37,576
Their entire ship is
covered with coffins.
482
00:30:37,601 --> 00:30:41,340
Commander, the captain listens to you.
483
00:30:41,365 --> 00:30:42,865
Tell her.
484
00:30:42,890 --> 00:30:45,925
We must withdraw.
485
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:49,386
I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
486
00:30:53,645 --> 00:30:56,685
Your world has food chains.
487
00:30:56,710 --> 00:30:58,750
Mine does not.
488
00:30:58,775 --> 00:31:00,790
Our species map is binary.
489
00:31:00,815 --> 00:31:03,477
We are either predator or prey.
490
00:31:03,502 --> 00:31:05,292
My people were hunted.
491
00:31:05,317 --> 00:31:07,867
Bred. Farmed.
492
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,111
We are your livestock of old.
493
00:31:10,136 --> 00:31:13,409
We were biologically
determined for one purpose
494
00:31:13,434 --> 00:31:15,197
and one purpose alone:
495
00:31:15,846 --> 00:31:18,884
to sense the coming of death.
496
00:31:20,998 --> 00:31:23,796
I sense it coming now.
497
00:31:28,092 --> 00:31:30,882
The Klingon flagship has a stealth mode.
498
00:31:30,907 --> 00:31:32,770
It's some kind of cloaking screen,
499
00:31:32,795 --> 00:31:35,029
unlike anything we've
ever seen, Admiral.
500
00:31:35,054 --> 00:31:37,094
There may be more vessels
out there than we know.
501
00:31:37,159 --> 00:31:38,829
We've reached out with every form
502
00:31:38,854 --> 00:31:40,966
of friendship greeting Starfleet has.
503
00:31:40,991 --> 00:31:42,125
They're blocking our hails.
504
00:31:42,150 --> 00:31:43,545
Uh, it feels like a setup.
505
00:31:43,570 --> 00:31:46,075
Maybe our relay got too
close for Klingon comfort,
506
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,390
and they destroyed it
to lure us out here.
507
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,900
You remember my first officer
508
00:31:49,925 --> 00:31:51,633
Michael Burnham?
509
00:31:51,658 --> 00:31:53,508
Next time, you might try not disturbing
510
00:31:53,533 --> 00:31:54,946
the property of a warrior race
511
00:31:54,971 --> 00:31:56,891
we've hardly spoken to
for a hundred years.
512
00:31:57,071 --> 00:31:59,691
Our only choice now is to
navigate this situation
513
00:31:59,716 --> 00:32:01,375
with as much finesse as possible.
514
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,378
Admiral, if I may.
515
00:32:06,343 --> 00:32:10,067
The ideal outcome for any
Klingon interaction is battle.
516
00:32:10,092 --> 00:32:12,762
They're relentlessly hostile, sir.
517
00:32:12,787 --> 00:32:14,117
It's in their nature.
518
00:32:14,142 --> 00:32:16,153
The Federation and the Klingon Empire
519
00:32:16,178 --> 00:32:18,656
have always been on
the cold side of war.
520
00:32:18,703 --> 00:32:20,846
We've had only fleeting run-ins
with them for a century.
521
00:32:20,871 --> 00:32:22,331
And now you presume
522
00:32:22,356 --> 00:32:23,766
to know their motivation
523
00:32:23,791 --> 00:32:25,451
because it is "in their nature"?
524
00:32:25,476 --> 00:32:27,081
Considering your
background, I would think
525
00:32:27,106 --> 00:32:29,571
you're the last person to make
assumptions based on race.
526
00:32:29,596 --> 00:32:32,636
With respect, it would be unwise
to confuse race and culture.
527
00:32:32,661 --> 00:32:35,581
The Europa and all fleet
vessels within range
528
00:32:35,606 --> 00:32:37,411
will be at your
coordinates in two hours.
529
00:32:37,436 --> 00:32:38,376
Hold your position.
530
00:32:38,401 --> 00:32:40,886
Do nothing absent
provocation, understood?
531
00:32:40,911 --> 00:32:42,400
Understood, Admiral.
532
00:32:42,425 --> 00:32:44,773
Signal terminated.
533
00:32:44,798 --> 00:32:47,707
That went well.
534
00:32:47,871 --> 00:32:49,871
What's the mood outside?
535
00:32:49,896 --> 00:32:52,745
Saru is the only one talking.
536
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:56,610
He strongly believes
we should about-face.
537
00:32:56,890 --> 00:32:59,590
There is a space station
at Eagle-Twelve,
538
00:32:59,615 --> 00:33:00,976
three light-years away.
539
00:33:01,001 --> 00:33:04,037
The Andorian colony at
Gamma-Hydra is six.
540
00:33:04,062 --> 00:33:07,472
Shenzhou is their only line of
defense if the Klingons attack.
541
00:33:07,497 --> 00:33:09,776
Not if... when.
542
00:33:09,801 --> 00:33:12,681
I have to hope that
whatever happens here
543
00:33:12,706 --> 00:33:15,201
can serve as a bridge
between our civilizations.
544
00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:18,203
That's the diplomat in you talking.
545
00:33:18,321 --> 00:33:20,571
What does the soldier say?
546
00:33:22,396 --> 00:33:24,876
Nothing good.
547
00:33:27,491 --> 00:33:29,281
Captain to the bridge.
548
00:33:30,553 --> 00:33:31,973
Status?
549
00:33:31,998 --> 00:33:34,374
Massive photonic activity on
the Klingon object, Captain.
550
00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:36,452
Output is over one billion
lumens per square meter.
551
00:33:36,477 --> 00:33:37,647
Optical sensors overloading.
552
00:33:37,672 --> 00:33:39,114
Bring plasmatic filters on line.
553
00:33:39,139 --> 00:33:40,888
Rerouting power.
554
00:33:40,913 --> 00:33:42,280
Is that a weapon?
555
00:33:42,305 --> 00:33:45,327
It seems to be some
sort of signal emitter.
556
00:33:46,059 --> 00:33:48,059
Where are my filters?
557
00:33:48,084 --> 00:33:49,834
They're at 100%, Captain.
558
00:34:01,259 --> 00:34:04,904
Initiating emergency shutdown.
559
00:34:04,929 --> 00:34:06,078
That noise is some kind of
560
00:34:06,103 --> 00:34:07,262
electromagnetic subspace wave-form.
561
00:34:07,287 --> 00:34:08,667
Narrowing channel range.
562
00:34:08,692 --> 00:34:10,248
Adjusting orientation
to minimize dispersal.
563
00:34:10,273 --> 00:34:11,403
Somebody turn it down.
564
00:34:11,428 --> 00:34:12,741
Aye, Captain.
565
00:34:12,766 --> 00:34:14,610
- All the way down.
- Acoustics are muted.
566
00:34:14,635 --> 00:34:17,769
That's the ship's superstructure
in sympathetic vibration.
567
00:34:18,231 --> 00:34:19,891
It's a signal pulse.
568
00:34:19,916 --> 00:34:21,536
Is there a message?
569
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:23,007
This may be the message.
570
00:34:23,032 --> 00:34:25,670
Captain, what if they're calling
for the same thing we are?
571
00:34:26,191 --> 00:34:27,640
Backup.
572
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:29,985
Long-range sensors to the maximum, Saru.
573
00:34:30,010 --> 00:34:31,390
If more Klingons are on their way,
574
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,511
I want as much notice as possible.
575
00:34:33,537 --> 00:34:35,077
Permission to leave the bridge, Captain?
576
00:34:35,102 --> 00:34:37,772
- Are you kidding?
- It's relevant.
577
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:40,099
Granted.
578
00:34:40,124 --> 00:34:43,085
Ensign, get me a status
report, deck by deck.
579
00:34:43,110 --> 00:34:44,230
Aye, Captain.
580
00:34:45,307 --> 00:34:47,187
Computer.
581
00:34:47,227 --> 00:34:48,307
Working.
582
00:34:48,332 --> 00:34:51,042
Open dedicated subspace channel 222AA7.
583
00:34:51,067 --> 00:34:52,636
Use of this frequency requires
584
00:34:52,661 --> 00:34:54,964
- diplomatic authorization.
- Voiceprint authorize.
585
00:34:54,989 --> 00:34:57,435
Burnham... Michael.
586
00:34:57,460 --> 00:34:59,152
Confirmed.
587
00:34:59,346 --> 00:35:00,846
Commander Burnham.
588
00:35:00,871 --> 00:35:02,495
Hello, Sarek.
589
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,566
I'm happy to see you.
590
00:35:03,591 --> 00:35:04,961
So many years.
591
00:35:04,986 --> 00:35:06,999
And still you allow
emotional considerations
592
00:35:07,024 --> 00:35:08,444
to impede your logic.
593
00:35:08,469 --> 00:35:11,216
They inform my logic.
594
00:35:12,211 --> 00:35:14,342
I need your help.
595
00:35:14,367 --> 00:35:17,274
I assume the timing of the
call was not coincidental.
596
00:35:17,299 --> 00:35:20,165
The quadrant reports a
new star in the sky.
597
00:35:21,541 --> 00:35:24,621
What have you done out there, on
the edge of Federation space?
598
00:35:24,646 --> 00:35:26,736
We've encountered the Klingons.
599
00:35:26,761 --> 00:35:30,301
How rare to meet one's
own demons in the flesh.
600
00:35:30,326 --> 00:35:32,326
I killed one.
601
00:35:32,755 --> 00:35:36,815
In light of the fact that
they killed your parents,
602
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,970
some might think that only fair.
603
00:35:39,995 --> 00:35:41,683
However,
604
00:35:41,708 --> 00:35:44,232
if a death was necessary,
605
00:35:44,257 --> 00:35:47,359
I am satisfied it was not yours.
606
00:35:48,641 --> 00:35:51,771
I'm most certain you did not
call me for emotional solace.
607
00:35:51,796 --> 00:35:53,626
We're facing off.
608
00:35:53,651 --> 00:35:55,731
No fire has been exchanged.
609
00:35:55,893 --> 00:35:57,773
But they didn't turn on that beacon
610
00:35:57,798 --> 00:35:59,958
until Starfleet was on
its way to our position.
611
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:02,208
I think they're summoning
more of their kind.
612
00:36:02,232 --> 00:36:04,630
An odd proposition given
that their empire
613
00:36:04,655 --> 00:36:06,615
has been in disarray for generations.
614
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,230
But you are describing
something out of the ordinary.
615
00:36:09,255 --> 00:36:12,045
Restraint in the face of conflict.
616
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:15,261
When a civilization acts in
opposition to its instincts,
617
00:36:15,286 --> 00:36:19,166
it may be under the influence
of something, or someone, new.
618
00:36:19,558 --> 00:36:23,359
Great unifiers are few and far between,
619
00:36:23,384 --> 00:36:25,564
but they do come.
620
00:36:25,589 --> 00:36:29,049
Often, such leaders will
need a profound cause
621
00:36:29,074 --> 00:36:31,074
for their followers to rally around.
622
00:36:31,099 --> 00:36:32,759
A war.
623
00:36:33,258 --> 00:36:36,468
Be very careful that your assumptions
624
00:36:36,493 --> 00:36:40,078
are not being driven by your past.
625
00:36:40,103 --> 00:36:42,683
This isn't about what happened, Sarek.
626
00:36:42,708 --> 00:36:44,998
It's what's happening now.
627
00:36:46,727 --> 00:36:49,272
How did the Vulcans achieve
diplomatic relations
628
00:36:49,297 --> 00:36:50,677
with the Klingons?
629
00:36:50,702 --> 00:36:52,936
That is a solution particular to us.
630
00:36:52,961 --> 00:36:56,179
One cannot assume it would work
on a ship commanded by humans.
631
00:36:56,204 --> 00:36:59,968
Sarek... please.
632
00:36:59,993 --> 00:37:03,243
I caution you, be considered
633
00:37:03,268 --> 00:37:05,887
with how you use this information.
634
00:37:05,912 --> 00:37:08,482
You cannot save lives that
have already been lost.
635
00:37:08,507 --> 00:37:09,877
Tell me.
636
00:37:09,902 --> 00:37:13,153
How did you keep the Klingons at bay?
637
00:37:14,461 --> 00:37:16,961
Engineering, report.
638
00:37:16,986 --> 00:37:18,097
Internal damage, negative.
639
00:37:18,122 --> 00:37:19,442
Core is 100%.
640
00:37:19,466 --> 00:37:21,347
Captain, we have to fire on them.
641
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:22,910
Hit that ship with everything we've got.
642
00:37:22,935 --> 00:37:25,519
Absolutely not. They
haven't powered weapons.
643
00:37:25,544 --> 00:37:27,653
They don't appear to
pose an imminent threat.
644
00:37:27,678 --> 00:37:30,107
The Klingon threat is always
imminent and inevitable.
645
00:37:30,132 --> 00:37:32,292
- Tactical log's ready.
- Thank you, Mr. Gant.
646
00:37:32,317 --> 00:37:35,717
I'd like to remind you,
we're wildly outgunned.
647
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:38,679
240 years ago, near H'Atoria,
648
00:37:38,704 --> 00:37:40,704
a Vulcan ship crossed
into Klingon space.
649
00:37:40,754 --> 00:37:42,683
The Klingons attacked immediately.
650
00:37:42,708 --> 00:37:44,518
They destroyed the vessel.
651
00:37:44,543 --> 00:37:47,043
Vulcans don't make the
same mistake twice.
652
00:37:47,068 --> 00:37:49,728
From then on, until formal
relations were established,
653
00:37:49,753 --> 00:37:51,902
whenever the Vulcans crossed
paths with Klingons,
654
00:37:51,927 --> 00:37:54,127
the Vulcans fired first.
655
00:37:54,152 --> 00:37:57,195
They said "hello" in a language
the Klingons understood.
656
00:37:57,220 --> 00:37:59,010
Violence brought respect.
657
00:37:59,035 --> 00:38:00,945
Respect brought peace.
658
00:38:01,131 --> 00:38:04,971
Captain. We have to give the
Klingons a Vulcan "hello."
659
00:38:04,996 --> 00:38:07,257
If their intention is to attack,
660
00:38:07,449 --> 00:38:10,877
balling up our fists
won't dissuade them.
661
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920
It would be logical for
you to take into account
662
00:38:15,945 --> 00:38:18,722
my success rate during our
seven years together,
663
00:38:18,747 --> 00:38:20,901
and execute my plan
without further challenge
664
00:38:20,926 --> 00:38:22,668
before we're dragged into war.
665
00:38:22,693 --> 00:38:25,113
Starfleet doesn't fire first.
666
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,700
That's all, Number One.
667
00:38:26,732 --> 00:38:28,270
We have to.
668
00:38:31,225 --> 00:38:34,651
In my ready room. Now.
669
00:38:35,617 --> 00:38:37,604
Lieutenant Commander,
you have the bridge.
670
00:38:37,629 --> 00:38:39,916
Yes, Captain.
671
00:38:43,772 --> 00:38:45,165
Computer, privacy.
672
00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:46,072
Captain...
673
00:38:46,097 --> 00:38:48,187
How dare you challenge me?
674
00:38:48,505 --> 00:38:51,157
I apologize for my insubordination.
675
00:38:51,182 --> 00:38:54,045
Don't you realize that kind of
talk can destabilize a crew?
676
00:38:54,070 --> 00:38:55,610
Don't underestimate them.
677
00:38:55,635 --> 00:38:56,978
I've overseen their exercises;
678
00:38:57,003 --> 00:38:58,268
they're ready for battle.
679
00:38:58,293 --> 00:39:00,224
Battle is not a simulation.
680
00:39:00,249 --> 00:39:05,289
It's blood and screams and funerals.
681
00:39:05,314 --> 00:39:07,187
I taught you better than this.
682
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:09,190
We don't start shooting on a hunch,
683
00:39:09,215 --> 00:39:11,835
and we don't take
innocent lives. Period.
684
00:39:12,347 --> 00:39:14,807
I understand your history
with the Klingons.
685
00:39:14,832 --> 00:39:16,177
My commitment to this course of action
686
00:39:16,202 --> 00:39:17,542
is not emotional.
687
00:39:17,567 --> 00:39:20,107
We target its neck, cut off its head...
688
00:39:20,132 --> 00:39:21,393
You're still injured.
689
00:39:21,418 --> 00:39:23,003
- You're not thinking clearly...
- Thousands of lives will be
690
00:39:23,028 --> 00:39:24,869
- lost because of failure to act.
- Whose lives?
691
00:39:24,894 --> 00:39:26,979
Victims of your imaginary war?
692
00:39:27,012 --> 00:39:29,370
And your life, Captain.
693
00:39:29,662 --> 00:39:31,761
Yours.
694
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,829
Stand down, Commander Burnham.
695
00:39:36,854 --> 00:39:38,832
That's an order.
696
00:39:40,236 --> 00:39:43,347
You're right.
697
00:39:44,814 --> 00:39:47,144
I may not be myself.
698
00:39:51,435 --> 00:39:54,055
Easy, Michael.
699
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:01,320
I'm sorry.
700
00:40:06,051 --> 00:40:08,160
You're relieved, Mr. Saru.
701
00:40:08,194 --> 00:40:09,814
Where is the captain?
702
00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:12,050
I provided her with Klingon intel
703
00:40:12,075 --> 00:40:13,636
from a personal source on Vulcan.
704
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:15,121
She's passing it to the admiral.
705
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,711
Weapons, slot a pair of
photon torpedoes in the tubes
706
00:40:17,736 --> 00:40:19,016
and compute a firing solution
707
00:40:19,041 --> 00:40:20,836
targeting the neck of that Klingon ship.
708
00:40:20,861 --> 00:40:22,941
Is the plan to fire on
the Klingons, Commander?
709
00:40:22,966 --> 00:40:26,263
We have to be ready in case
that's what the captain decides.
710
00:40:26,562 --> 00:40:29,272
Are you acting on the captain's orders?
711
00:40:29,297 --> 00:40:31,207
I'm your superior officer.
712
00:40:31,232 --> 00:40:33,732
We are in a high-risk scenario.
713
00:40:33,757 --> 00:40:36,530
Question chain of command
again and I'll remove you.
714
00:40:36,779 --> 00:40:38,778
Commander. It's just...
715
00:40:38,979 --> 00:40:40,979
Your breathing is elevated.
716
00:40:41,004 --> 00:40:42,709
Perspiration's visible at your hairline.
717
00:40:42,734 --> 00:40:44,314
I fear what you are doing
718
00:40:44,339 --> 00:40:45,959
betrays the wishes of our captain.
719
00:40:45,984 --> 00:40:47,870
Target phasers.
720
00:40:47,895 --> 00:40:49,311
Take your station, Commander.
721
00:40:49,336 --> 00:40:50,691
This is mutiny.
722
00:40:50,716 --> 00:40:53,792
Move, Saru. Tactical.
723
00:40:53,817 --> 00:40:55,014
We're locked on.
724
00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:55,905
Fire!
725
00:40:55,930 --> 00:40:58,672
Belay that order!
726
00:40:58,697 --> 00:41:00,577
Captain, please.
727
00:41:00,602 --> 00:41:02,562
I'm trying to save you.
728
00:41:02,587 --> 00:41:04,457
I'm trying to save all of you.
729
00:41:07,180 --> 00:41:09,681
