00:00:07,008 --> 00:00:08,927
[narrator] Previously on
Star Trek: Discovery:
2
00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:12,430
The new president
of the Federation, Laira Rillak.
3
00:00:13,306 --> 00:00:16,935
I'm T'Rina, President of Ni'Var.
4
00:00:17,018 --> 00:00:17,936
Gray?
5
00:00:17,937 --> 00:00:20,647
We'll find a way
to help you be truly seen.
6
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:21,898
By everyone.
7
00:00:21,981 --> 00:00:24,484
You're thinking of
Discovery again.
8
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:25,485
I am.
9
00:00:25,486 --> 00:00:30,114
My heart is here,
but yours can be here and out there.
10
00:00:31,324 --> 00:00:34,410
Nanosecond this is over,
I'm on the first ship home.
11
00:00:34,494 --> 00:00:36,412
Nalas, when's the last time you were back?
12
00:00:36,496 --> 00:00:37,496
Too long.
13
00:00:42,502 --> 00:00:44,262
[Booker]
Put Kwejian on the deep-space array.
14
00:00:44,295 --> 00:00:46,524
- [Burnham] What?
- [Booker] My ship was hit by something.
15
00:00:46,548 --> 00:00:49,384
- The gravitational distortion.
- [Booker] They're gone.
16
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:51,928
They're all gone.
17
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:00,728
[wind whistling]
18
00:01:00,812 --> 00:01:02,814
[birds squawking]
19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,489
[trilling]
20
00:01:11,573 --> 00:01:12,574
[video rewinding]
21
00:01:14,367 --> 00:01:15,827
[eerie music playing]
22
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:33,052
[explosion]
23
00:01:35,346 --> 00:01:36,346
[Burnham] Book.
24
00:01:38,558 --> 00:01:39,892
Book.
25
00:01:39,976 --> 00:01:41,352
[Leto laughing]
26
00:01:42,895 --> 00:01:43,895
[Burnham] Book.
27
00:01:46,357 --> 00:01:47,357
Book.
28
00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:48,776
[ship powering up]
29
00:02:01,581 --> 00:02:02,582
I'm here.
30
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:06,002
Whatever you need.
31
00:02:08,171 --> 00:02:09,213
[comm chimes]
32
00:02:09,297 --> 00:02:11,924
[Bryce] Captain, your guest is waiting
in the Ready Room.
33
00:02:12,634 --> 00:02:14,385
I need some time, Bryce.
34
00:02:14,969 --> 00:02:15,970
You should go.
35
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:19,557
- No, I...
- I need you to go.
36
00:02:20,725 --> 00:02:22,727
[pensive music playing]
37
00:02:30,026 --> 00:02:31,026
Okay.
38
00:02:35,156 --> 00:02:36,574
I'll check on you later.
39
00:02:48,086 --> 00:02:49,128
[video rewinding]
40
00:02:51,214 --> 00:02:52,215
[Burnham] Saru.
41
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:55,927
You're here.
42
00:02:56,469 --> 00:02:58,930
- Captain.
- Oh...
43
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:03,101
Thank you for coming so quickly.
44
00:03:03,184 --> 00:03:05,395
It is an unspeakable tragedy.
45
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:08,231
Any survivors at all?
46
00:03:08,314 --> 00:03:10,358
Right now we only know of Book.
47
00:03:11,067 --> 00:03:14,696
The Federation is trying
to locate any Kwejian that were off-world.
48
00:03:14,779 --> 00:03:15,863
How is he?
49
00:03:15,947 --> 00:03:18,408
He hasn't left his ship in two days.
50
00:03:18,491 --> 00:03:20,993
He's obsessing over every detail.
51
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:25,957
Trying to find, I don't know,
evidence as to what may have caused it.
52
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,877
And I've been trying to get him to talk.
53
00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:33,840
Or cry. Anything.
54
00:03:35,007 --> 00:03:38,177
He's in so much pain.
55
00:03:41,806 --> 00:03:43,599
I don't know how to reach him.
56
00:03:45,518 --> 00:03:46,518
Well...
57
00:03:47,395 --> 00:03:49,355
If loss has taught us anything,
58
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:54,318
it is that each of us must sit with pain
in our own way.
59
00:03:56,404 --> 00:03:57,488
And you?
60
00:03:58,156 --> 00:03:59,240
How are you doing?
61
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:02,994
I've been conducting post-mission analyses
62
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:05,163
to figure out
what I could've done differently.
63
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:13,379
Lieutenant Aloka,
Ensign Neville, Commander Nalas.
64
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:16,340
Those losses are on me.
65
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:20,887
It sounds like you may also be obsessing.
66
00:04:23,681 --> 00:04:24,849
Yeah, maybe so.
67
00:04:25,892 --> 00:04:26,934
That's beautiful.
68
00:04:27,018 --> 00:04:29,437
It's the Kelpien symbol for community?
69
00:04:30,229 --> 00:04:32,148
Community and service.
70
00:04:33,065 --> 00:04:36,402
It signifies my status
as a council member in my village.
71
00:04:37,236 --> 00:04:39,030
Must have been hard to leave.
72
00:04:40,198 --> 00:04:43,284
I have made arrangements
to stay in touch with Su'Kal
73
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:46,537
and continue serving
as a council member in absentia.
74
00:04:47,914 --> 00:04:50,082
Starfleet is where I am needed now.
75
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:54,545
Yes, I heard you were offered
the command of the U.S.S. Sojourner.
76
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:56,547
Congratulations.
77
00:04:58,508 --> 00:05:04,347
I told Admiral Vance I would gladly
return to the chair one day.
78
00:05:05,681 --> 00:05:07,475
This is not that time.
79
00:05:11,562 --> 00:05:14,273
Our mentor, Philippa Georgiou,
80
00:05:15,066 --> 00:05:18,694
knew the value
of another set of trusted eyes,
81
00:05:18,778 --> 00:05:20,780
especially in times of crisis.
82
00:05:21,864 --> 00:05:25,243
I asked you to be
those eyes for me when I became captain.
83
00:05:27,161 --> 00:05:30,122
Now it would be my honor,
84
00:05:30,957 --> 00:05:33,209
and indeed my privilege,
85
00:05:33,292 --> 00:05:37,839
to do the same for you
as your Number One, if you'll have me.
86
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,847
I will take that, old friend.
87
00:05:54,689 --> 00:05:56,983
[Stamets] Five light-years across.
88
00:05:57,733 --> 00:06:00,403
That's the size
of the gravitational anomaly
89
00:06:00,486 --> 00:06:02,905
that hit Kwejian and the space station.
90
00:06:02,989 --> 00:06:04,574
Five light-years?
91
00:06:04,657 --> 00:06:05,741
That's massive.
92
00:06:05,825 --> 00:06:07,618
We couldn't believe it either.
93
00:06:07,702 --> 00:06:11,831
But we've been analyzing data
for the past 48 hours. Math doesn't lie.
94
00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:14,041
What exactly is this anomaly?
95
00:06:14,125 --> 00:06:15,543
We're not certain.
96
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:18,379
We know it's there, we know it's moving,
97
00:06:18,462 --> 00:06:21,549
but we can't quite
get a handle on what it is.
98
00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:26,345
Our current theory is
that it's a roving binary black hole.
99
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,057
We believe
the two black holes are merging,
100
00:06:30,641 --> 00:06:33,185
creating gravitational waves
in the process.
101
00:06:33,811 --> 00:06:34,727
Huge ones.
102
00:06:34,729 --> 00:06:37,565
Why was Kwejian destroyed
and the station wasn't?
103
00:06:37,648 --> 00:06:39,108
A gravitational wave's impact
104
00:06:39,191 --> 00:06:42,320
depends on where
the object is relative to the source.
105
00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:45,489
The closer the object,
the greater the damage.
106
00:06:45,573 --> 00:06:47,491
How did no one see it coming?
107
00:06:47,575 --> 00:06:51,787
[Tilly] Unless matter is actively
falling into it, they're undetectable.
108
00:06:51,871 --> 00:06:54,665
[Stamets] We've been running simulations
to test our theory.
109
00:06:54,749 --> 00:06:58,336
They mirror fairly accurately
what happened to Kwejian.
110
00:07:07,136 --> 00:07:08,136
Go on.
111
00:07:10,056 --> 00:07:11,140
Continue.
112
00:07:22,652 --> 00:07:25,529
[Stamets]
A planet couldn't possibly withstand
113
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,239
that kind of impact.
114
00:07:33,788 --> 00:07:36,248
Are there records of it happening before?
115
00:07:36,332 --> 00:07:38,876
We haven't found anything in any database.
116
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,587
- Where's it headed?
- Current data is limited.
117
00:07:41,671 --> 00:07:45,257
Our mathematical models
have it entering the Riscot system.
118
00:07:45,341 --> 00:07:47,426
Let's begin evacuations right away.
119
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:50,221
We should warn the areas surrounding it.
120
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:53,182
An anomaly this size could fling debris
beyond five light-years.
121
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:54,642
[man] Where's it going after?
122
00:07:54,725 --> 00:07:57,937
- Where'd it come from?
- Any indication that it'll stop?
123
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,855
To get answers, we need more data.
124
00:07:59,939 --> 00:08:02,900
We have to get out there,
scan this thing up close.
125
00:08:02,984 --> 00:08:04,527
Once you have the data,
126
00:08:05,444 --> 00:08:08,823
I offer the services
of the Ni'Var Science Institute.
127
00:08:09,448 --> 00:08:10,950
We may not be Federation members,
128
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:13,911
but a crisis such as this
requires all to contribute.
129
00:08:13,995 --> 00:08:16,288
Thank you, President T'Rina.
130
00:08:16,372 --> 00:08:20,334
It would also be prudent
to prepare ourselves for civil unrest.
131
00:08:21,252 --> 00:08:23,879
This news may reawaken post-Burn fears.
132
00:08:23,963 --> 00:08:26,716
We are at a fragile time.
133
00:08:26,799 --> 00:08:30,970
Openness and a unified strategy
will be critical.
134
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:34,724
[Rillak]
Which is precisely why you're all here.
135
00:08:34,807 --> 00:08:36,976
Federation, non-Federation,
136
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:39,895
this anomaly threatens us all equally.
137
00:08:39,979 --> 00:08:42,440
We must all work together.
138
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:45,484
Discovery will leave
for the anomaly immediately.
139
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:51,532
[comm chimes]
140
00:08:51,615 --> 00:08:54,076
[woman]
All crew, report to stations, please.
141
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,203
All crew, report to stations.
142
00:08:56,912 --> 00:08:58,581
- Yes, lieutenant?
- Sorry.
143
00:08:58,664 --> 00:09:00,750
Sorry, just... I was...
144
00:09:01,417 --> 00:09:03,502
Sorry, I keep making it more weird.
145
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:05,546
I'm just gonna say it. You...
146
00:09:06,589 --> 00:09:07,965
Did you get taller?
147
00:09:08,549 --> 00:09:10,259
Not that I'm aware of.
148
00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:14,597
Oh. Oh, okay. I don't know
if Kelpiens grow later in life, but...
149
00:09:15,181 --> 00:09:17,892
You do... You seem taller.
150
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:19,810
Do I?
151
00:09:19,894 --> 00:09:20,894
Yeah.
152
00:09:20,895 --> 00:09:24,441
Maybe you just have
more swagger going on or something.
153
00:09:24,523 --> 00:09:25,523
It's a compliment.
154
00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:27,860
Then I thank you.
155
00:09:28,861 --> 00:09:30,696
I'm really glad you're back.
156
00:09:33,282 --> 00:09:34,784
I missed you too.
157
00:09:35,493 --> 00:09:39,080
And I am very sorry
for what you went through
158
00:09:39,163 --> 00:09:41,040
on the space station.
159
00:09:41,123 --> 00:09:42,123
Thank you.
160
00:09:42,166 --> 00:09:43,292
[comm chimes]
161
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:46,754
[man] Security briefing
on Deck 7 in five minutes.
162
00:09:46,837 --> 00:09:48,089
When I think about...
163
00:09:49,632 --> 00:09:52,468
Nalas, and Kwejian, all those people...
164
00:09:53,719 --> 00:09:55,846
How life is just a blink, huh?
165
00:09:55,930 --> 00:10:00,851
It is one heartbeat
in the entire lifespan of the universe.
166
00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:04,980
I just don't really think
I understood that before.
167
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:14,573
How we choose to spend our moments
in the short time that we have matters.
168
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:33,676
Welcome back, captain.
169
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:36,387
Thank you, but, please,
170
00:10:37,429 --> 00:10:38,722
call me Saru.
171
00:10:38,806 --> 00:10:40,766
How about Mr. Saru?
172
00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:42,685
That would be...
173
00:10:43,727 --> 00:10:44,895
acceptable.
174
00:10:44,979 --> 00:10:48,524
Commander Bryce, open a ship-wide channel.
175
00:10:48,607 --> 00:10:49,608
Aye, captain.
176
00:10:51,861 --> 00:10:52,861
Ready.
177
00:10:53,863 --> 00:10:54,905
Discovery.
178
00:10:57,324 --> 00:11:01,745
Today we seek to understand a threat
like none our galaxy has faced before.
179
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:06,083
We know the cost
of its destructive power all too well.
180
00:11:06,167 --> 00:11:08,002
We lost colleagues,
181
00:11:08,836 --> 00:11:09,837
friends,
182
00:11:10,796 --> 00:11:11,922
and Kwejian.
183
00:11:14,008 --> 00:11:15,926
Countless lives.
184
00:11:16,010 --> 00:11:18,387
Histories, futures.
185
00:11:19,221 --> 00:11:21,432
We won't let their deaths be in vain.
186
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:26,645
We are going to make damn sure
nothing like this happens again.
187
00:11:27,396 --> 00:11:28,772
Not on our watch.
188
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:33,068
Not on our watch.
189
00:11:35,446 --> 00:11:36,362
Black alert.
190
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:37,365
[Bryce] Aye, captain.
191
00:11:39,742 --> 00:11:42,369
Commander Detmer, jump us in,
but keep a safe distance.
192
00:11:42,453 --> 00:11:43,704
[Detmer] Aye, captain.
193
00:11:55,216 --> 00:11:57,051
We've reached the coordinates.
194
00:11:57,635 --> 00:11:59,220
Yellow alert on-screen.
195
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,311
Commander Owosekun,
apply a polarizing spectrographic filter.
196
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:08,562
Aye, captain.
197
00:12:08,646 --> 00:12:10,648
[dramatic music playing]
198
00:12:24,745 --> 00:12:27,414
[theme music playing]
199
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:56,545
[dramatic music playing]
200
00:13:56,628 --> 00:13:58,255
Tilly, get Commander Stamets.
201
00:13:58,339 --> 00:14:01,050
- Detmer, how are we?
- Safely in the Green Zone.
202
00:14:01,133 --> 00:14:04,053
Matching the anomaly's speed
to maintain relative distance.
203
00:14:04,136 --> 00:14:05,346
Any strain on the ship?
204
00:14:05,429 --> 00:14:08,807
Subspace gravitational waves are present,
but not the patterns we expected.
205
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:11,143
- Very odd.
- [Burnham] That's not the only thing.
206
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:14,313
"Binary black hole"
means we should see two of them.
207
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:16,523
[Stamets] Curiouser and curiouser.
208
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:19,693
- Scientific observation, please?
- Apologies, captain.
209
00:14:19,777 --> 00:14:23,113
It's just
not what I was expecting to see either.
210
00:14:23,197 --> 00:14:25,991
There's an accretion cloud
made of gas and dust,
211
00:14:26,075 --> 00:14:28,827
and large amounts of dark matter,
surrounding a gravity well.
212
00:14:28,911 --> 00:14:30,454
A black hole makes sense...
213
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:34,708
But the gravitational Doppler shift
from our scans is way off.
214
00:14:34,792 --> 00:14:35,918
Meaning?
215
00:14:36,001 --> 00:14:39,129
Meaning, I have no idea
what we're looking at.
216
00:14:39,213 --> 00:14:41,340
It's bizarre.
217
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:44,134
And that is a scientific observation.
218
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,763
- What else are scans telling us?
- Not much.
219
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:50,557
Scans can't penetrate
the outer edge of the accretion cloud.
220
00:14:50,641 --> 00:14:52,434
Can we boost power to them?
221
00:14:52,518 --> 00:14:55,396
I tried.
Scans aren't viable unless we get closer.
222
00:14:55,479 --> 00:14:56,814
[Burnham] How close?
223
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:59,525
Past the outer edge of dust
and into the accretion cloud.
224
00:14:59,608 --> 00:15:03,404
That's in the Yellow Zone.
Discovery would be at serious risk.
225
00:15:03,487 --> 00:15:05,781
We have to know what we're dealing with.
226
00:15:06,323 --> 00:15:07,241
Mr. Saru?
227
00:15:07,242 --> 00:15:11,620
We could send DOTS with sensors attached,
but the gravitational distortions
228
00:15:11,703 --> 00:15:14,039
would make it difficult
to communicate with them.
229
00:15:14,123 --> 00:15:17,292
Also too small.
Not enough mass to penetrate the dust.
230
00:15:17,376 --> 00:15:21,213
My ship can do it. Enough mass to get in,
not so much that I'll be in trouble.
231
00:15:21,797 --> 00:15:24,591
My ship can change shape
to compensate for the torque.
232
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:26,343
As long as I'm not inside too long.
233
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:29,638
The science holds.
234
00:15:31,306 --> 00:15:32,808
Detmer, get ready.
235
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:35,352
Stamets, with her, to conduct the scans.
236
00:15:35,436 --> 00:15:36,436
[Booker] Captain.
237
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:38,105
[pensive music playing]
238
00:15:38,981 --> 00:15:39,981
Can we talk?
239
00:15:40,482 --> 00:15:42,484
Detmer doesn't know how to morph my ship.
240
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:44,403
Whoever goes in has to be clear-headed.
241
00:15:44,486 --> 00:15:47,114
- I'm not?
- How could you be after everything?
242
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:49,241
- That's for me to judge.
- And me.
243
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:52,453
- As captain of this ship.
- Pretend you're in my place.
244
00:15:53,078 --> 00:15:55,622
You'd fight like hell
to go on this mission.
245
00:15:55,706 --> 00:15:56,999
Hugh would say no.
246
00:15:57,082 --> 00:15:59,501
- And he would be right.
- That thing destroyed my home.
247
00:15:59,585 --> 00:16:02,921
- I know you want to do something.
- I'm the best pilot for this.
248
00:16:03,005 --> 00:16:04,005
It's not that simple.
249
00:16:04,047 --> 00:16:06,842
I don't need your permission.
I'm not Starfleet.
250
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:08,177
I'm not under your command.
251
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:10,220
If you go and you're not ready...
252
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:14,016
you endanger everyone on this ship.
253
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,186
I know you don't want
to put more lives at risk.
254
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:20,814
Getting this data
is our best chance to save lives.
255
00:16:22,065 --> 00:16:24,776
We can warn others,
give them time to evacuate.
256
00:16:27,029 --> 00:16:28,155
I'm going, Michael.
257
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,950
I'm flying straight at that thing.
258
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:35,913
If you want to stop me, throw me
in the brig, or shoot me out of the sky.
259
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,333
I'm going.
260
00:16:43,045 --> 00:16:44,755
It's everything I'd imagined.
261
00:16:46,215 --> 00:16:48,842
I can't believe
I get to start my life again.
262
00:16:48,926 --> 00:16:50,719
I could become a host again.
263
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,972
Finish my training to be a Guardian.
264
00:16:54,515 --> 00:16:56,016
- I could...
- Anything.
265
00:16:56,099 --> 00:16:59,686
I mean, you can do anything.
266
00:16:59,770 --> 00:17:00,770
Yeah.
267
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,691
But with everything that's happened...
268
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:08,362
Something not right with the body?
269
00:17:09,571 --> 00:17:13,158
He's feeling guilty
about being happy right now.
270
00:17:13,742 --> 00:17:14,742
You know.
271
00:17:17,996 --> 00:17:19,122
Life goes on, Gray.
272
00:17:19,790 --> 00:17:22,501
It has to. For all of us.
273
00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:26,547
The artisan did a beautiful job
with the body. Used the Soong Method.
274
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:29,299
Named for the 24th-century cyberneticist
who developed it.
275
00:17:29,383 --> 00:17:32,678
This is 800-year-old technology?
276
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:37,808
Maybe I should get a synth body
when I die too. We could live forever.
277
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:42,229
Well, not likely, but the process
was attempted a number of times
278
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:45,899
after Dr. Soong first used it
on a Starfleet admiral.
279
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:46,983
Picard was his name.
280
00:17:46,984 --> 00:17:51,072
But the success rate was so low
that eventually people stopped trying.
281
00:17:51,989 --> 00:17:53,782
What, should we be worried?
282
00:17:53,865 --> 00:17:57,703
Gray's consciousness already
survived transfer to a new host once.
283
00:17:57,786 --> 00:17:59,204
Seems to be a good sign.
284
00:17:59,871 --> 00:18:02,416
But we should ask Guardian Xi
once the body is ready.
285
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:05,711
When I incorporate,
286
00:18:06,378 --> 00:18:10,299
will the body age and die,
like I would have before?
287
00:18:10,382 --> 00:18:14,344
Uh, he's asking
if this body will get old.
288
00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:18,473
You know, like, gray hair,
the long, scraggly nose hairs,
289
00:18:18,557 --> 00:18:19,891
the pot belly and all.
290
00:18:19,975 --> 00:18:21,435
So not what I said.
291
00:18:21,518 --> 00:18:24,813
It will age in the same way,
for better or for worse.
292
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:29,693
Can we get rid of the mole?
293
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,570
I thought you stopped hating that.
294
00:18:31,653 --> 00:18:33,530
I just asked because...
295
00:18:34,573 --> 00:18:37,409
Transitioning, it's like
I had bigger things to think about.
296
00:18:37,492 --> 00:18:42,289
But if I get another chance
to remake my body, then...
297
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:47,878
why not get rid of all the things
that aren't totally me, you know?
298
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:52,466
He wants to lose the mole.
299
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:56,345
Oh, well, that's why we're here.
To make last-minute adjustments.
300
00:18:57,054 --> 00:18:59,056
[gentle music playing]
301
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:24,456
[door chimes]
302
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:25,539
Come.
303
00:19:28,669 --> 00:19:29,795
Oh.
304
00:19:29,878 --> 00:19:31,171
You added a holo.
305
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,675
Helps to get away sometimes.
306
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:37,260
Is this Ni'Var?
307
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:39,638
Cliffs of Surak.
308
00:19:41,598 --> 00:19:43,058
That's Lake Yuron.
309
00:19:45,602 --> 00:19:48,772
It looks the same
as it did when I was a child,
310
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:50,232
when this was Vulcan.
311
00:19:50,982 --> 00:19:52,234
I used to run away.
312
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:57,572
Used to run away here when I was
getting used to my parents being gone.
313
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:05,872
You wished
to speak with me about Mr. Booker?
314
00:20:07,249 --> 00:20:09,292
- Take me home, Zora.
- [Zora] Yes, captain.
315
00:20:13,255 --> 00:20:15,549
The computer is now Zora?
316
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:17,884
- Picked the name herself.
- Oh.
317
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:21,053
Please.
318
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:33,275
Book plans to fly to the anomaly
with or without my permission.
319
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:37,112
That would be deleterious
to your relationship.
320
00:20:39,114 --> 00:20:42,075
The captain in me knows that
he's the right choice.
321
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:44,661
He knows it too.
322
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:46,829
But...
323
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:49,875
I've seen him...
324
00:20:51,001 --> 00:20:53,837
not sleeping, not eating.
325
00:20:54,463 --> 00:20:57,632
Mr. Booker's expertise with his ship
326
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,303
does make him
supremely well-suited for this task.
327
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:05,265
More so than Commander Detmer,
despite her considerable skills.
328
00:21:05,348 --> 00:21:07,809
His planet was destroyed.
329
00:21:07,893 --> 00:21:11,480
Well, billions more lives will be at risk
330
00:21:11,563 --> 00:21:14,441
until we understand the anomaly
well enough to predict its path.
331
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:20,238
- So you think I should let him go?
- As do you, I believe, yeah.
332
00:21:20,322 --> 00:21:24,159
But your personal feelings
complicate your decision.
333
00:21:25,035 --> 00:21:27,162
What if he takes unnecessary risks?
334
00:21:27,245 --> 00:21:28,455
I wonder, then,
335
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:32,751
if added safety measures
would be helpful to all involved.
336
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:36,129
I have some ideas,
if that would be helpful.
337
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:41,802
Have I mentioned I am glad you're back?
338
00:21:43,553 --> 00:21:44,888
I believe you have.
339
00:21:46,723 --> 00:21:51,102
You wanna send the only two people
who can operate the spore drive together
340
00:21:51,186 --> 00:21:55,106
into the accretion cloud
of an unknown astrophysical entity?
341
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:57,609
You might as well blow me out an airlock.
342
00:21:58,235 --> 00:21:59,235
Oh.
343
00:22:00,529 --> 00:22:03,156
Too soon? Probably too soon.
344
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,325
But still, it's madness.
345
00:22:05,408 --> 00:22:07,994
Yes, which is why
you'll be going as a holo.
346
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:11,081
Oh. Well, in that case...
347
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,792
Your body will be here the entire time.
348
00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:18,296
The anomaly creates enormous distortions.
We might not maintain a holo signal.
349
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,174
Right, which is why
we'll be using a tether
350
00:22:21,258 --> 00:22:23,677
to help Book's ship
maintain proximity to Discovery.
351
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,638
And if we have to,
we'll use it to pull him out.
352
00:22:26,721 --> 00:22:28,557
[pensive music playing]
353
00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,727
I want you on the bridge,
listening in on comms.
354
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:34,729
Let me know if you have any concern.
355
00:22:34,813 --> 00:22:35,939
Yes, captain.
356
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:42,612
"Blow me out an airlock"?
357
00:22:42,696 --> 00:22:44,281
It was humor.
358
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,660
Neural link. You'll feel everything
on Book's ship as if you were there.
359
00:22:48,743 --> 00:22:51,872
If you remove this transmitter,
you'll be back here...
360
00:22:51,955 --> 00:22:53,039
What's wrong?
361
00:22:54,541 --> 00:22:58,044
I wouldn't know
what to say to Book on a good day.
362
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:01,965
When you lost me,
what did you want people to say?
363
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:05,260
It's not nearly the same thing.
364
00:23:05,343 --> 00:23:06,595
Grief is grief.
365
00:23:08,013 --> 00:23:11,433
Everyone moves through it differently.
Let Book guide you.
366
00:23:11,516 --> 00:23:12,893
Are you sure?
367
00:23:14,144 --> 00:23:16,771
Things have been
seriously awkward with him
368
00:23:16,855 --> 00:23:19,441
since he jumped Discovery
to the dilithium planet.
369
00:23:20,483 --> 00:23:22,027
Just trust your instincts.
370
00:23:22,569 --> 00:23:24,321
You should know not to say that to me.
371
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:26,197
You're better than you think.
372
00:23:30,619 --> 00:23:31,535
[Stamets] Book, hi.
373
00:23:31,536 --> 00:23:37,208
Uh... Sorry,
I'm still getting used to this new tech.
374
00:23:37,292 --> 00:23:39,127
We're leaving soon. Get ready.
375
00:23:39,711 --> 00:23:40,711
It's so smooth.
376
00:23:40,712 --> 00:23:43,716
I thought I'd be able
to tell the difference, but...
377
00:23:43,798 --> 00:23:45,926
Wait for us to crash. Then we'll see.
378
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:47,468
Right.
379
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:53,183
So, um, I've been meaning to ask you.
380
00:23:53,975 --> 00:23:57,520
When you're using
the spore drive interface,
381
00:23:57,604 --> 00:24:01,274
do you ever feel cramps
in your hands?
382
00:24:01,358 --> 00:24:04,361
Or, uh, tingles in your arms?
383
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:07,404
No?
384
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:10,157
Okay.
385
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,158
Hey, girl.
386
00:24:11,159 --> 00:24:12,411
I wouldn't do that.
387
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:15,246
Holos freak her out.
She can't smell you.
388
00:24:16,122 --> 00:24:17,290
Come on, darling.
389
00:24:18,166 --> 00:24:19,501
Let's get you secured.
390
00:24:24,255 --> 00:24:25,256
[Stamets] Look. Uh...
391
00:24:26,049 --> 00:24:27,049
I get it.
392
00:24:27,676 --> 00:24:30,220
We're not friends.
393
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:34,557
But I know
you've been through a lot, so...
394
00:24:36,059 --> 00:24:38,019
if there's anything
I can do to help...
395
00:24:38,103 --> 00:24:41,481
Maybe stop talking.
That'd be a good start.
396
00:24:41,564 --> 00:24:42,774
Excuse me?
397
00:24:42,857 --> 00:24:45,485
I don't need a tether.
I don't need a minder.
398
00:24:45,568 --> 00:24:48,321
I'm here for the data.
You wouldn't know what to look for.
399
00:24:48,405 --> 00:24:49,405
Fine.
400
00:24:52,242 --> 00:24:54,369
I fly, you scan.
401
00:24:58,915 --> 00:25:01,001
[Burnham]
Owosekun, how's it looking?
402
00:25:01,084 --> 00:25:04,212
Gravitational fluctuations
remain within safe parameters.
403
00:25:04,295 --> 00:25:06,047
Book, we're good to go.
404
00:25:06,131 --> 00:25:08,883
Detmer, bring us
as close as we can safely get.
405
00:25:08,967 --> 00:25:11,553
- He'll take his ship in from there.
- Aye, captain.
406
00:25:11,636 --> 00:25:14,639
[dramatic music playing]
407
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:19,561
Rhys?
408
00:25:19,644 --> 00:25:21,187
Tether's holding, captain.
409
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:25,608
Keep an eye out for micro-strains.
Any sign he's failing, we pull him out.
410
00:25:25,692 --> 00:25:26,735
Aye, captain.
411
00:25:26,818 --> 00:25:28,258
[Booker] Approaching the dust layer.
412
00:25:32,323 --> 00:25:33,323
You good, Book?
413
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:34,366
Yup.
414
00:25:35,243 --> 00:25:36,703
Going deeper in.
415
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:42,709
You said "dust layer."
Pretty large chunks in here.
416
00:25:42,792 --> 00:25:45,712
It did just
pass through a planetary system.
417
00:25:48,631 --> 00:25:49,631
I'm sorry.
418
00:25:52,177 --> 00:25:53,887
Can your shields handle this?
419
00:25:53,970 --> 00:25:55,513
Holding steady so far.
420
00:26:05,648 --> 00:26:07,192
[Leto laughing]
421
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:11,446
[Stamets] Hey, are you okay?
422
00:26:13,281 --> 00:26:14,866
Don't ask me that again.
423
00:26:16,743 --> 00:26:19,162
Through the outer layer.
Stamets has started scanning.
424
00:26:19,245 --> 00:26:20,705
- [alarm trilling]
- [Burnham] Tilly?
425
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:24,000
We're about to be hit
by a subspace gravitational wave.
426
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:29,881
- [man] Gravity generator malfunction.
- Status report.
427
00:26:29,964 --> 00:26:31,966
- I can't reach my station.
- Zora.
428
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:35,053
[Zora] Artificial gravity generators
unable to compensate for extreme...
429
00:26:35,136 --> 00:26:36,179
How long will it last?
430
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:37,305
[Zora] It will pass in...
431
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:38,556
Now.
432
00:26:47,398 --> 00:26:48,775
Is everybody okay?
433
00:26:50,151 --> 00:26:51,820
That wasn't supposed to happen.
434
00:26:51,903 --> 00:26:52,903
Red alert.
435
00:26:52,946 --> 00:26:54,489
Let's find out why it did.
436
00:27:01,037 --> 00:27:03,665
Where'd it come from?
Did we get pulled into the Yellow Zone?
437
00:27:03,748 --> 00:27:05,708
No, we're at a safe distance.
438
00:27:05,792 --> 00:27:07,961
- How's the tether?
- Holding steady.
439
00:27:08,044 --> 00:27:10,255
- Damage report?
- Port nacelle needs repairing.
440
00:27:10,338 --> 00:27:13,466
Power failure in Engineering.
Hull integrity at 55 percent.
441
00:27:13,550 --> 00:27:15,426
Discovery will not survive
much more.
442
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:17,303
- Your chin.
- [Burnham] Get Adira up here.
443
00:27:17,387 --> 00:27:19,889
Figure out what happened,
and if it'll happen again.
444
00:27:19,973 --> 00:27:20,889
[Tilly] Aye, captain.
445
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:22,684
- I need to finish.
- Make it fast.
446
00:27:23,226 --> 00:27:25,353
What's the status on those scans?
447
00:27:27,522 --> 00:27:30,024
Going slow, but I'm getting a ton of data.
448
00:27:31,109 --> 00:27:33,278
Can't you make it go steadier?
449
00:27:33,361 --> 00:27:35,780
You're kidding, right? I'm working magic.
450
00:27:35,864 --> 00:27:37,991
Well, then magically keep it steady.
451
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:41,327
Damn it, I lost navigation.
452
00:27:41,411 --> 00:27:42,453
We're pulling you out.
453
00:27:42,537 --> 00:27:45,957
No. We need this data. We need answers.
454
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,083
No, Book...
455
00:27:47,167 --> 00:27:48,877
I could really use the time.
456
00:27:51,588 --> 00:27:52,589
How much time?
457
00:27:52,672 --> 00:27:53,923
Uh...
458
00:27:54,007 --> 00:27:55,675
Let's call it ten minutes.
459
00:27:55,758 --> 00:27:57,510
We will do our best.
460
00:27:58,428 --> 00:28:01,389
I need to know
if fluctuations will happen again.
461
00:28:01,472 --> 00:28:02,472
[Tilly] On it.
462
00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:07,729
You have a cracked rib.
463
00:28:07,812 --> 00:28:11,191
Gravitational fluctuations
have exceeded all parameters.
464
00:28:11,274 --> 00:28:13,443
Something's changed.
We need to figure out what.
465
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:16,613
I'm working on a new predictive algorithm,
but data's so limited.
466
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:18,883
Did you include analysis for every
metric data from the station
467
00:28:18,907 --> 00:28:20,074
in your calculations?
468
00:28:20,158 --> 00:28:22,035
I've done this before.
Don't check my work.
469
00:28:22,118 --> 00:28:25,580
Don't do that. We've all done this before.
We still double- and triple-check.
470
00:28:25,663 --> 00:28:28,958
Make sure you included
the irregular gravitational strain.
471
00:28:29,042 --> 00:28:30,418
Please. Thank you.
472
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:35,757
Sorry, I'm Stamets-ing right now.
473
00:28:36,341 --> 00:28:38,134
We're under a lot of pressure.
474
00:28:38,218 --> 00:28:40,595
And what happened
on that station was...
475
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:44,224
You know Adira
is trying to impress you, right?
476
00:28:45,975 --> 00:28:47,518
They look up to you.
477
00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:53,358
I adjusted the numbers
to account for the gravimetric variant.
478
00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:54,525
We have a problem.
479
00:28:54,609 --> 00:28:58,071
Captain, good news, we know
when the next disturbance will hit.
480
00:28:58,154 --> 00:29:00,657
- Bad news, it's in two seconds.
- Everybody, brace.
481
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:13,753
[grunts]
482
00:29:14,379 --> 00:29:15,379
Damage report.
483
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,674
Injuries on multiple decks.
484
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:20,635
Structural and power failures
on Decks 14 through 16.
485
00:29:20,718 --> 00:29:24,055
Another one,
and the gravity generators will give out.
486
00:29:24,138 --> 00:29:25,974
If the hull doesn't open before it.
487
00:29:26,057 --> 00:29:27,600
- You okay?
- Yeah.
488
00:29:27,684 --> 00:29:29,102
Tilly, how much longer?
489
00:29:29,185 --> 00:29:31,980
Four minutes. Then a minute and a half.
Then 40 seconds.
490
00:29:32,063 --> 00:29:34,107
- Why so irregular?
- We don't know.
491
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:36,359
- Get back to it.
- Aye, captain.
492
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:37,944
We have to pull Book out.
493
00:29:38,027 --> 00:29:40,446
Or release the tether,
and allow them to continue.
494
00:29:40,530 --> 00:29:43,992
- He doesn't have navigation.
- Without data, we have nothing.
495
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:48,329
Discovery has to pull back.
Where are you with scans?
496
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:52,000
I need five more minutes.
497
00:29:52,083 --> 00:29:53,167
Make it three.
498
00:29:53,251 --> 00:29:55,086
I'd be lucky to get it in five.
499
00:29:55,169 --> 00:29:56,212
What if we come back?
500
00:29:57,338 --> 00:29:58,965
It'll take a week to fix this ship.
501
00:29:59,048 --> 00:30:01,634
Can you do your analysis
with what you have?
502
00:30:01,718 --> 00:30:04,262
I won't know until
I can get into the data.
503
00:30:04,345 --> 00:30:05,722
And in the meantime,
504
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:08,433
this thing will just be roaming around.
505
00:30:08,516 --> 00:30:11,811
And who knows
how much more damage it can do?
506
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:16,899
[laughing]
507
00:30:17,191 --> 00:30:18,191
[Stamets] Book?
508
00:30:18,609 --> 00:30:21,321
Hey, Book.
509
00:30:21,404 --> 00:30:24,574
What's going on?
They're talking about pulling us out.
510
00:30:25,992 --> 00:30:29,620
Yeah, that's not happening.
We're not leaving without the data.
511
00:30:30,204 --> 00:30:31,622
You have to release the tether.
512
00:30:32,957 --> 00:30:34,834
Does it sound like he's thinking clearly?
513
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:36,294
In these circumstances,
514
00:30:36,377 --> 00:30:40,673
it's impossible to distinguish
between stress and emotional instability.
515
00:30:40,757 --> 00:30:41,883
[Booker] Michael.
516
00:30:43,343 --> 00:30:44,510
We can do this.
517
00:30:58,775 --> 00:31:00,109
Rhys, let him go.
518
00:31:00,693 --> 00:31:01,819
Aye, captain.
519
00:31:05,073 --> 00:31:06,366
Detmer, pull us back.
520
00:31:10,953 --> 00:31:12,163
Aye, captain.
521
00:31:12,246 --> 00:31:14,248
[suspenseful music playing]
522
00:31:34,352 --> 00:31:35,937
Book's flying blind.
523
00:31:36,521 --> 00:31:38,981
Without the tether,
we need another way to get him out
524
00:31:39,065 --> 00:31:41,150
before his ship fails completely.
525
00:31:41,234 --> 00:31:42,318
Start thinking.
526
00:31:42,402 --> 00:31:43,444
[all] Aye, captain.
527
00:31:45,405 --> 00:31:46,906
Three more minutes for the scans.
528
00:31:46,989 --> 00:31:48,908
You said that three minutes ago.
529
00:31:48,991 --> 00:31:50,034
Watch it.
530
00:31:51,327 --> 00:31:52,328
What is that?
531
00:31:52,412 --> 00:31:55,081
Is that the boson energy
transfer unit?
532
00:31:55,164 --> 00:31:56,082
That's the one.
533
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:59,377
[computer] Warning. Power failure.
Engines at 70 percent.
534
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,003
We're losing engines.
535
00:32:01,087 --> 00:32:02,755
- Grab a phase discriminator.
- Where?
536
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:05,842
- Over there.
- You say that like it's obvious.
537
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:08,970
Pretend like your life depends on it
like mine does.
538
00:32:10,263 --> 00:32:15,101
I was told to follow your lead,
that you'd let me know what you needed.
539
00:32:15,184 --> 00:32:17,663
- What are you talking about?
- [computer] Engines at 60 percent.
540
00:32:17,687 --> 00:32:21,816
I'm talking about me trying
to be sensitive,
541
00:32:21,899 --> 00:32:24,026
and you, being you.
542
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:27,697
You've spoken to me more today
than in the past five months.
543
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:28,823
That's not true.
544
00:32:29,824 --> 00:32:33,453
You found out I could run the spore drive.
Your ego got bruised. You blamed me.
545
00:32:33,536 --> 00:32:34,620
Nothing to do with it.
546
00:32:34,704 --> 00:32:35,705
What is it, then?
547
00:32:38,666 --> 00:32:42,086
You remind me of how helpless I was.
548
00:32:45,089 --> 00:32:49,552
When I look at you,
all I can see is how close I got
549
00:32:49,635 --> 00:32:52,263
to losing everything again.
550
00:32:55,349 --> 00:32:57,852
You were the one who saved my family.
551
00:32:57,935 --> 00:33:01,939
I wasn't able to do anything,
and I hate that feeling.
552
00:33:05,526 --> 00:33:07,528
[computer] Engines at 30 percent.
553
00:33:07,612 --> 00:33:08,821
Data scan complete.
554
00:33:08,905 --> 00:33:12,825
Go. Pull off the neurotransmitter.
Get back to Discovery. Start analyzing.
555
00:33:12,909 --> 00:33:14,243
- I can't.
- What?
556
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:17,705
The distortions
that keep interfering with my holo?
557
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:20,124
I haven't been able to send any data back.
558
00:33:20,708 --> 00:33:25,129
It lives here on this ship,
and nowhere else.
559
00:33:28,966 --> 00:33:30,426
We've got something.
560
00:33:31,552 --> 00:33:36,390
This is what the subspace gravitational
waves look like where Book is.
561
00:33:36,474 --> 00:33:39,393
Whatever is making them hit us harder,
they hit him harder too.
562
00:33:39,477 --> 00:33:40,686
Yikes, right?
563
00:33:40,770 --> 00:33:42,188
But we think, in theory,
564
00:33:42,271 --> 00:33:46,692
Book could catch one of these waves
and sort of ride it out.
565
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,531
Mr. Booker's engines are losing power.
How could he even attempt that?
566
00:33:51,614 --> 00:33:53,574
Newtonian mechanics.
567
00:33:53,658 --> 00:33:55,660
Basic application of fluid dynamics.
568
00:33:55,743 --> 00:33:58,412
I used to kitesurf
the biggest breaks on Manark IV.
569
00:33:58,496 --> 00:33:59,914
Same basic idea.
570
00:34:00,498 --> 00:34:05,336
If Book accelerated into the distortion,
buoyancy would take care of the rest.
571
00:34:05,419 --> 00:34:08,965
Without navigational sensors,
he can't gauge the right angle.
572
00:34:09,048 --> 00:34:12,760
- He can't just feel it.
- Maybe there's a way he can.
573
00:34:12,843 --> 00:34:15,388
Tilly, can you turn the holo rendering
into programmable matter?
574
00:34:15,471 --> 00:34:16,514
Oh, you bet.
575
00:34:17,056 --> 00:34:18,766
Uh... Why would I?
576
00:34:18,849 --> 00:34:20,017
You want me to do what?
577
00:34:20,101 --> 00:34:21,561
Like kitesurfing.
578
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:25,147
If you hit it at just the right angle,
it will carry your ship out.
579
00:34:25,231 --> 00:34:26,399
I'm flying blind.
580
00:34:26,482 --> 00:34:29,986
I'll tell you when.
You just have to follow my mark exactly.
581
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:30,987
Got it.
582
00:34:30,988 --> 00:34:33,322
[computer] Engines at 20 percent.
583
00:34:33,406 --> 00:34:36,242
- Think that repair will hold?
- It's barely stitched together.
584
00:34:36,325 --> 00:34:37,660
It could blow anytime.
585
00:34:38,202 --> 00:34:39,202
Glad I asked.
586
00:34:40,746 --> 00:34:41,831
On my mark.
587
00:34:42,748 --> 00:34:43,874
Get ready.
588
00:34:46,335 --> 00:34:47,253
Now.
589
00:34:47,254 --> 00:34:48,838
- Are you sure?
- Go.
590
00:34:48,921 --> 00:34:51,048
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [engine powering up]
591
00:34:55,344 --> 00:34:57,305
What happened? Book?
592
00:34:57,388 --> 00:34:58,346
[Booker] I missed it.
593
00:34:58,347 --> 00:34:59,347
Damn.
594
00:34:59,348 --> 00:35:01,726
Listen, another will come.
595
00:35:01,809 --> 00:35:05,980
It'll be tight, but there is enough power
to the engine to give it one more shot.
596
00:35:08,899 --> 00:35:10,401
You get to try again.
597
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:11,652
That's something.
598
00:35:11,736 --> 00:35:13,154
We'll try this again.
599
00:35:13,738 --> 00:35:14,739
It's over.
600
00:35:14,822 --> 00:35:15,822
It's not.
601
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:20,286
Pull off the transmitter.
602
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:21,870
No.
603
00:35:22,371 --> 00:35:23,623
You're not even here.
604
00:35:26,167 --> 00:35:27,376
No one's here.
605
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:30,670
I'm here.
606
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:32,298
We're all here.
607
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:38,512
[Burnham] Another distortion will come
in less than two minutes.
608
00:35:39,096 --> 00:35:40,097
Are you ready?
609
00:35:44,477 --> 00:35:46,020
Book? You there?
610
00:35:50,858 --> 00:35:52,109
Book?
611
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:02,703
Book, we don't have a lot of time.
612
00:36:04,372 --> 00:36:08,417
Captain, I think he may need
a little more help with this one.
613
00:36:11,045 --> 00:36:14,965
Perhaps now is an appropriate time
for you to set aside the captain
614
00:36:15,049 --> 00:36:16,509
in favor of the partner.
615
00:36:22,973 --> 00:36:25,017
Bryce, open a private channel.
616
00:36:28,396 --> 00:36:29,772
Hey, Book.
617
00:36:31,982 --> 00:36:33,359
It's just us now.
618
00:36:33,901 --> 00:36:35,027
You and me.
619
00:36:35,653 --> 00:36:38,072
And I need you to listen to me.
620
00:36:39,281 --> 00:36:41,117
You couldn't have saved them.
621
00:36:42,910 --> 00:36:46,038
There is nothing you could've done.
You couldn't have known.
622
00:36:50,584 --> 00:36:51,585
The birds.
623
00:36:54,338 --> 00:36:56,048
The way they took to the sky...
624
00:36:59,427 --> 00:37:01,095
I should have sensed it.
625
00:37:02,138 --> 00:37:03,180
No.
626
00:37:05,307 --> 00:37:06,767
This isn't your fault.
627
00:37:08,018 --> 00:37:09,854
I should've taken them with me.
628
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Kyheem.
629
00:37:14,650 --> 00:37:15,650
Leto.
630
00:37:17,069 --> 00:37:18,612
I failed, Michael.
631
00:37:20,948 --> 00:37:21,948
I failed them.
632
00:37:23,492 --> 00:37:24,994
I know it feels that way.
633
00:37:26,787 --> 00:37:27,955
But you didn't.
634
00:37:29,457 --> 00:37:31,584
You didn't fail them.
635
00:37:33,127 --> 00:37:34,879
And I won't fail you.
636
00:37:36,422 --> 00:37:38,758
Now or ever. I am with you.
637
00:37:40,176 --> 00:37:42,386
The entire crew is with you.
638
00:37:43,596 --> 00:37:47,558
We'll do everything in our power
to make sure you make it back safely.
639
00:37:47,641 --> 00:37:50,603
But I need you to trust me right now.
640
00:37:51,687 --> 00:37:53,022
Please.
641
00:38:13,209 --> 00:38:14,627
Just close your eyes.
642
00:38:15,211 --> 00:38:16,712
Listen to my voice.
643
00:38:18,506 --> 00:38:19,548
Stay with us.
644
00:38:21,842 --> 00:38:23,010
Stay with me.
645
00:38:25,054 --> 00:38:26,639
I'll tell you when to go.
646
00:38:27,807 --> 00:38:31,352
When I do, I need you
to gun it with whatever you have left.
647
00:38:32,895 --> 00:38:35,147
Another distortion wave is coming.
648
00:38:36,732 --> 00:38:38,192
Just ride it out.
649
00:38:40,736 --> 00:38:41,736
Get ready.
650
00:38:43,405 --> 00:38:44,865
Open your eyes.
651
00:38:47,034 --> 00:38:48,494
Now.
652
00:38:50,538 --> 00:38:52,540
[dramatic music playing]
653
00:39:09,974 --> 00:39:11,016
Any sign?
654
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,600
[Owosekun] Not yet.
655
00:39:22,486 --> 00:39:24,071
[Booker] I'm free. I'm clear.
656
00:39:27,616 --> 00:39:29,326
Transmitting scan data now.
657
00:39:29,410 --> 00:39:30,953
It's time to come home.
658
00:39:33,247 --> 00:39:35,541
And well done, Commander Bryce.
659
00:39:35,624 --> 00:39:39,003
May we all cultivate
such lifesaving hobbies.
660
00:39:39,086 --> 00:39:40,546
Thank you, Mr. Saru.
661
00:39:40,629 --> 00:39:41,881
[crew cheering]
662
00:39:44,675 --> 00:39:45,926
- Nice work, you.
- Oh.
663
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:47,177
Really good work.
664
00:39:49,138 --> 00:39:50,138
Thanks.
665
00:39:57,730 --> 00:39:59,481
[Booker] Cut it close there, for sure.
666
00:40:01,609 --> 00:40:04,695
This data should be a gold mine.
667
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:09,116
Don't look at me.
668
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:10,910
That was all you.
669
00:40:10,993 --> 00:40:12,411
I just drove this thing.
670
00:40:14,413 --> 00:40:16,415
[soft music playing]
671
00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:17,833
Thank you.
672
00:40:19,251 --> 00:40:20,753
For saving my family.
673
00:40:24,298 --> 00:40:26,717
I'm gonna figure this thing out for you.
674
00:40:27,927 --> 00:40:29,136
Whatever it takes.
675
00:40:31,013 --> 00:40:32,097
I promise.
676
00:40:35,643 --> 00:40:40,356
You know,
I do get arm tingles in the spore drive.
677
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:42,191
Yeah.
678
00:40:42,274 --> 00:40:43,817
Weirdest thing.
679
00:40:49,531 --> 00:40:52,534
I'm gonna take this off now.
680
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,591
Welcome back.
681
00:41:11,595 --> 00:41:13,740
[man on PA] Lieutenant Callahan,
report to Engineering.
682
00:41:13,764 --> 00:41:16,600
Hey. Hi, sorry. Um...
683
00:41:17,142 --> 00:41:21,730
I just wanted to thank you
for your advice with Adira.
684
00:41:22,690 --> 00:41:26,026
It can be hard for them to let
others see past how bright they are.
685
00:41:26,568 --> 00:41:27,528
Yeah.
686
00:41:27,529 --> 00:41:31,407
You have a very light touch with people.
I really admire that.
687
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:33,242
You do too.
688
00:41:34,076 --> 00:41:35,077
Usually.
689
00:41:36,078 --> 00:41:40,833
Yeah, I think you were right
about me feeling pressure.
690
00:41:40,916 --> 00:41:43,669
Um... Not about the station, but...
691
00:41:43,752 --> 00:41:47,965
I mean, don't get me wrong,
that was just unbelievably shitty, but...
692
00:41:48,048 --> 00:41:50,426
But this is something bigger?
693
00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:57,224
Yeah, like things just don't feel
the same way that they used to.
694
00:41:57,307 --> 00:42:00,602
Like, I don't know, something's off,
695
00:42:00,686 --> 00:42:03,313
or, um, I'm off.
696
00:42:03,939 --> 00:42:05,107
Uh...
697
00:42:07,901 --> 00:42:10,821
I was hoping
that we could talk about it sometime.
698
00:42:11,530 --> 00:42:13,240
Like, "talk" talk.
699
00:42:13,323 --> 00:42:16,326
Like, uh, professionally.
700
00:42:16,410 --> 00:42:17,536
Of course.
701
00:42:17,619 --> 00:42:20,289
Whatever it is,
we'll figure it out together.
702
00:42:22,082 --> 00:42:23,082
Thanks.
703
00:42:23,751 --> 00:42:25,794
Okay. [chuckles] That wasn't so hard.
704
00:42:25,878 --> 00:42:27,296
Just a little awkward.
705
00:42:27,379 --> 00:42:28,797
Not... But not hard.
706
00:42:28,881 --> 00:42:30,507
- You did good.
- Thank you.
707
00:42:31,133 --> 00:42:33,052
I'm gonna go dig into that data.
708
00:42:33,135 --> 00:42:34,470
- All right.
- All right.
709
00:42:34,553 --> 00:42:36,805
- Go save the world.
- Oh, I will.
710
00:42:55,908 --> 00:42:59,745
- You were kind of a big deal today.
- Oh, my God.
711
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:00,828
You know that?
712
00:43:01,497 --> 00:43:05,459
Your algorithms
are mathematical works of art.
713
00:43:07,044 --> 00:43:08,044
Thank you.
714
00:43:09,588 --> 00:43:11,924
I guess I, um, made waves.
715
00:43:13,133 --> 00:43:15,427
Okay, no. [chuckles]
716
00:43:20,724 --> 00:43:21,724
What is it?
717
00:43:21,725 --> 00:43:25,729
You got to see your body today,
718
00:43:25,813 --> 00:43:31,735
which is huge, and I'm so happy
that you get to incorporate soon.
719
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:36,281
I hear a "but."
720
00:43:37,825 --> 00:43:39,076
It's okay.
721
00:43:40,369 --> 00:43:41,369
You can tell me.
722
00:43:43,580 --> 00:43:44,580
Nalas.
723
00:43:45,415 --> 00:43:48,127
Everything that happened.
724
00:43:48,210 --> 00:43:50,838
You know, the suddenness of it,
725
00:43:51,463 --> 00:43:55,551
and just the whole awful thing,
726
00:43:55,634 --> 00:43:58,554
um, reminded me of what happened to you.
727
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,266
It's just been on my mind.
728
00:44:04,810 --> 00:44:08,522
I didn't wanna bring it up
on such a joyful day, so I'm really sorry.
729
00:44:08,605 --> 00:44:11,525
I don't even know
how to begin to talk about this.
730
00:44:13,318 --> 00:44:14,361
You just did.
731
00:44:17,072 --> 00:44:19,283
You're really good at this, you know?
732
00:44:20,242 --> 00:44:23,704
The being there for people.
733
00:44:23,787 --> 00:44:25,080
You always have been.
734
00:44:26,373 --> 00:44:28,750
Everyone's gotta have their thing.
735
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:35,799
Yeah, and you're gonna make
a great Guardian someday.
736
00:44:46,977 --> 00:44:47,977
Hey.
737
00:44:49,521 --> 00:44:50,521
Hey.
738
00:44:52,024 --> 00:44:53,192
Hell of a day.
739
00:44:56,111 --> 00:44:57,738
Brilliant flying.
740
00:44:58,947 --> 00:45:00,032
You were right.
741
00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:02,618
I wasn't ready.
742
00:45:09,583 --> 00:45:10,709
But you did it.
743
00:45:13,212 --> 00:45:15,130
And you trusted me.
744
00:45:16,131 --> 00:45:17,466
Thank you for that.
745
00:45:23,305 --> 00:45:24,848
I keep seeing him.
746
00:45:25,432 --> 00:45:26,432
Leto.
747
00:45:31,188 --> 00:45:32,606
I don't know if he knew.
748
00:45:34,733 --> 00:45:37,319
If I ever let him know
how much I loved him.
749
00:45:40,614 --> 00:45:42,282
You know, for so many years...
750
00:45:43,784 --> 00:45:45,869
I told myself I didn't need family.
751
00:45:46,995 --> 00:45:48,205
Didn't need Kwejian.
752
00:45:49,206 --> 00:45:51,208
But then I found my brother again...
753
00:45:53,043 --> 00:45:55,170
the nephew I didn't even know I had.
754
00:45:57,422 --> 00:45:58,966
And when I looked at Leto...
755
00:46:01,969 --> 00:46:03,303
I saw a new beginning.
756
00:46:04,179 --> 00:46:05,222
For all of us.
757
00:46:07,516 --> 00:46:09,142
We could give him a future...
758
00:46:10,686 --> 00:46:12,062
where there was a home...
759
00:46:13,146 --> 00:46:14,231
and family...
760
00:46:15,691 --> 00:46:16,692
and love.
761
00:46:19,069 --> 00:46:20,696
And nothing he couldn't do.
762
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:26,994
I'm sorry.
763
00:46:28,370 --> 00:46:29,746
They're gone, Michael.
764
00:46:55,314 --> 00:46:56,314
[Tilly] Mr. Saru?
765
00:47:00,402 --> 00:47:05,157
Has the data from Mr. Booker's ship shed
new light on the nature of this threat?
766
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:09,244
Not yet. We still have an Everest-sized
mountain of data to analyze.
767
00:47:10,078 --> 00:47:11,496
Oh. Uh...
768
00:47:12,372 --> 00:47:14,624
Earth mountain. It's very big.
769
00:47:14,708 --> 00:47:15,708
Doesn't matter.
770
00:47:15,709 --> 00:47:18,045
Point being, I did find something.
771
00:47:18,837 --> 00:47:22,424
The reason the distortions got worse,
even though Discovery held its position.
772
00:47:23,258 --> 00:47:25,594
So this is the anomaly when we arrived.
773
00:47:26,511 --> 00:47:28,263
And this is it after we left.
774
00:47:29,723 --> 00:47:31,933
It changed direction?
775
00:47:32,684 --> 00:47:34,227
What could've caused that?
776
00:47:34,936 --> 00:47:39,649
There is nothing in my understanding
of astrophysics that can explain it.
777
00:47:40,734 --> 00:47:45,072
But we gathered this data
in order to predict its path.
778
00:47:45,697 --> 00:47:47,616
Are you saying we cannot do that?
779
00:47:48,658 --> 00:47:49,951
No, sir, we can't.
780
00:47:51,161 --> 00:47:53,622
Could go anywhere at any time,
781
00:47:53,705 --> 00:47:58,168
and we may
not have any kind of warning at all.
782
00:48:02,005 --> 00:48:05,008
[ominous music playing]
783
00:48:41,711 --> 00:48:44,714
[pensive music playing]
