_
21
00:01:25,783 --> 00:01:29,720
"We come in peace."
22
00:01:34,401 --> 00:01:36,851
We come in peace...
that's why we're here.
23
00:01:36,876 --> 00:01:38,512
Isn't that the whole idea of Starfleet?
24
00:01:38,588 --> 00:01:40,410
Hey, I taught you that.
25
00:01:40,410 --> 00:01:41,650
You don't trust me, Captain?
26
00:01:41,675 --> 00:01:43,650
I trust you with my life,
Commander Burnham,
27
00:01:43,675 --> 00:01:46,425
but it doesn't change the
fact that you're lost.
28
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:48,870
Very lost.
29
00:01:49,401 --> 00:01:51,360
Technically, we would be lost.
30
00:01:51,385 --> 00:01:53,304
How long until that storm
31
00:01:53,305 --> 00:01:55,094
comes crashing down on us?
32
00:01:55,095 --> 00:01:56,464
I estimate one hour,
33
00:01:56,465 --> 00:01:58,650
17 minutes, 22 seconds.
34
00:01:59,024 --> 00:02:01,538
Which is why I've made
sure we're not lost.
35
00:02:02,894 --> 00:02:05,438
The map says the well
is this way, Captain.
36
00:02:08,332 --> 00:02:10,955
This drought's
going to last 89 years.
37
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:14,183
The Crepusculans are facing
extinction as a species.
38
00:02:14,304 --> 00:02:15,634
See those egg sacs?
39
00:02:16,313 --> 00:02:17,443
Those are their offspring.
40
00:02:17,845 --> 00:02:21,305
They've survived here for
over a thousand years, Michael.
41
00:02:21,330 --> 00:02:23,450
Right, and if we don't do something now,
42
00:02:23,475 --> 00:02:25,024
they won't live another thousand hours.
43
00:02:25,049 --> 00:02:26,213
The ambient radiation
44
00:02:26,238 --> 00:02:29,117
from a nearby drilling accident
dried out their water table.
45
00:02:29,142 --> 00:02:31,374
If we can get in and out
without making contact,
46
00:02:31,383 --> 00:02:33,512
we can steer clear of General Order One.
47
00:02:33,513 --> 00:02:35,989
And there is the well.
48
00:02:36,014 --> 00:02:38,014
I stand corrected.
49
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:39,870
Ye of little faith.
50
00:02:39,895 --> 00:02:41,648
Oh, never had a doubt.
51
00:02:41,673 --> 00:02:44,858
Tell me what I need to break
through this bedrock.
52
00:02:44,883 --> 00:02:48,422
.7-second field burst
at level setting 13.5.
53
00:03:16,375 --> 00:03:18,255
Georgiou to Shenzhou.
54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,775
Two to transport.
55
00:03:23,709 --> 00:03:25,980
The storm is moving
faster than I thought.
56
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:28,045
The ship won't be able to
pick up our signatures.
57
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:30,280
Unless we can contact Lieutenant Saru,
58
00:03:30,305 --> 00:03:32,425
we could be trapped
here until it's over.
59
00:03:32,548 --> 00:03:34,411
Let's take a walk.
60
00:04:06,351 --> 00:04:09,566
Follow my footsteps,
Michael, even lines.
61
00:04:09,591 --> 00:04:11,501
Why? Captain, where are we going?
62
00:04:11,526 --> 00:04:13,415
It's your turn to trust me, Number One.
63
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,188
But now we're really lost.
64
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:18,227
We're far too small to be
seen with the naked eye.
65
00:04:18,252 --> 00:04:20,495
And you can't set a
course without a star.
66
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,971
Is it wise to be heading
67
00:04:21,996 --> 00:04:24,971
- away from the village?
- It's hard to imagine
68
00:04:24,996 --> 00:04:27,635
you've served under me for seven years.
69
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:29,580
I think it's time
70
00:04:29,605 --> 00:04:32,555
that we talked about you
having your own command.
71
00:04:35,534 --> 00:04:37,484
I'm grateful, Captain.
72
00:04:39,185 --> 00:04:41,475
Though I would be significantly more so
73
00:04:41,509 --> 00:04:44,364
if I thought we had any chance
of ever returning to the ship.
74
00:04:44,757 --> 00:04:46,967
Just keep walking, Michael.
75
00:04:46,992 --> 00:04:48,273
What will you do
76
00:04:48,299 --> 00:04:50,351
if you were stuck here for 89 years?
77
00:04:50,557 --> 00:04:52,017
A likely scenario...
78
00:04:52,042 --> 00:04:53,619
unless we die here in the desert.
79
00:04:53,644 --> 00:04:55,939
But say you lived.
80
00:04:55,964 --> 00:04:58,369
As a xenoanthropologist,
I could reveal myself
81
00:04:58,394 --> 00:05:00,434
to the natives, learn their culture,
82
00:05:00,459 --> 00:05:02,738
try to fit in... if possible.
83
00:05:02,763 --> 00:05:04,603
And you, Captain?
84
00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:06,918
What will you do if we're
trapped here for 89 years?
85
00:05:06,943 --> 00:05:09,488
That's easy. I'd escape.
86
00:05:09,854 --> 00:05:11,694
These are our footprints.
87
00:05:12,006 --> 00:05:13,956
You've walked us in a circle.
88
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,336
Not exactly a circle.
89
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:37,865
How did they find us?
90
00:05:37,890 --> 00:05:40,140
I set a star.

First Officer's
Log, Stardate 1207.3.
93
00:07:43,992 --> 00:07:46,912
On Earth, it's May 11, 2256,
94
00:07:47,028 --> 00:07:49,238
a Sunday.
95
00:07:49,263 --> 00:07:51,528
The crew of the U.S.S. Shenzhou
96
00:07:51,553 --> 00:07:53,407
has been called to the
edge of Federation space
97
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:57,086
to investigate damage done to
one of our interstellar relays.
98
00:07:57,239 --> 00:07:59,688
Blast burns around the
hole are inconclusive.
99
00:08:00,041 --> 00:08:01,961
Were they caused by an asteroid,
100
00:08:01,986 --> 00:08:03,566
or was it deliberately destroyed
101
00:08:03,591 --> 00:08:05,841
to limit Starfleet communications?
102
00:08:05,866 --> 00:08:07,866
And if so, by whom?
103
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,519
Despite the risks of our mission,
104
00:08:10,544 --> 00:08:12,434
I remain optimistic.
105
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:16,249
It's hard not to be in the
face of such beauty...
106
00:08:16,278 --> 00:08:19,214
in this case, a binary star system.
107
00:08:19,239 --> 00:08:20,949
Around these two suns,
108
00:08:20,974 --> 00:08:23,333
ice, dust and gasses collide
109
00:08:23,358 --> 00:08:26,671
to form the planets future
generations will call home.
110
00:08:26,696 --> 00:08:28,851
A humbling reminder that all life
111
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:31,624
is born from chaos and destruction.
112
00:08:31,649 --> 00:08:33,008
Based on initial readings,
113
00:08:33,033 --> 00:08:34,633
I would say the relay doesn't appear
114
00:08:34,658 --> 00:08:36,238
to have been damaged naturally.
115
00:08:36,312 --> 00:08:38,402
I don't like the look of that.
116
00:08:38,427 --> 00:08:39,757
Well, keep looking.
117
00:08:39,782 --> 00:08:41,302
Well, the comment was figurative;
118
00:08:41,327 --> 00:08:42,787
I'm expressing concern.
119
00:08:42,812 --> 00:08:45,312
Finish your scans so you
can express facts instead.
120
00:08:45,428 --> 00:08:47,638
The bridge is yours, Mr. Saru.
121
00:08:47,663 --> 00:08:49,056
Yes...
122
00:08:49,081 --> 00:08:50,461
Commander.
123
00:08:52,059 --> 00:08:53,729
Yes, Number One.
124
00:08:53,754 --> 00:08:55,913
Your chief science officer is worried.
125
00:08:55,938 --> 00:08:57,827
Something took a bite out of our relay.
126
00:08:57,852 --> 00:08:59,482
Saru thinks it was malicious.
127
00:08:59,514 --> 00:09:02,514
Saru's Kelpien... he thinks
everything's malicious.
128
00:09:02,622 --> 00:09:04,202
What do you think?
129
00:09:04,227 --> 00:09:05,691
Any idea what it is?
130
00:09:05,716 --> 00:09:08,238
By all indications, nothing intelligent.
131
00:09:08,263 --> 00:09:09,673
But...?
132
00:09:09,698 --> 00:09:12,748
Starfleet's reputation for
tech hygiene is exemplary.
133
00:09:12,773 --> 00:09:14,103
When a relay goes down,
134
00:09:14,128 --> 00:09:16,493
the Federation sends a ship to fix it.
135
00:09:16,518 --> 00:09:18,778
You think someone's trying
to get our attention?
136
00:09:18,803 --> 00:09:21,803
If they are, they have.
137
00:09:23,364 --> 00:09:25,654
Lieutenant Saru, what do we have?
138
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,639
Ah. I have taken the
initiative of keeping us
139
00:09:28,664 --> 00:09:30,334
at maximum scanning distance
140
00:09:30,359 --> 00:09:31,927
in case of anything threatening
out there, Captain.
141
00:09:31,952 --> 00:09:34,468
Yes. Number One tells me
you suspect foul play.
142
00:09:34,787 --> 00:09:36,746
Despite the first
officer's constant need
143
00:09:36,771 --> 00:09:38,644
to dismiss my ideas...
144
00:09:38,669 --> 00:09:40,412
She apparently agrees with you.
145
00:09:40,437 --> 00:09:41,581
Really?
146
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,752
I'm shocked as well.
147
00:09:42,777 --> 00:09:44,142
Ensign Connor,
148
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,127
agreement between my senior officers.
149
00:09:46,157 --> 00:09:47,463
Note the date and time.
150
00:09:47,488 --> 00:09:48,488
Noted, Captain.
151
00:09:48,527 --> 00:09:49,893
Is this amount of sarcasm
152
00:09:49,918 --> 00:09:51,132
always necessary?
153
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:52,447
Necessary? No.
154
00:09:52,472 --> 00:09:54,267
But I do like it.
155
00:09:54,331 --> 00:09:56,002
There is something else out there.
156
00:09:56,027 --> 00:09:57,526
What do you have, Saru?
157
00:09:57,527 --> 00:09:58,777
Recalibrating sensors.
158
00:09:58,802 --> 00:10:00,552
Electronic alignment in process.
159
00:10:02,542 --> 00:10:03,860
Active scans are being deflected.
160
00:10:03,885 --> 00:10:05,273
I'm having trouble locating the source.
161
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:06,729
So something's out there,
162
00:10:06,754 --> 00:10:09,004
but no one can tell me
where or what it is.
163
00:10:09,029 --> 00:10:10,549
Ah, wait.
164
00:10:10,574 --> 00:10:11,654
I have it.
165
00:10:13,525 --> 00:10:14,735
No. Recalibrating.
166
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,640
Any time now, Mr. Saru.
167
00:10:16,665 --> 00:10:18,745
I have it.
168
00:10:18,838 --> 00:10:20,838
Magnify.
169
00:10:20,863 --> 00:10:23,033
Is that what damaged our relay?
170
00:10:23,058 --> 00:10:24,888
What am I looking at?
171
00:10:25,899 --> 00:10:28,189
Object of unknown origin.
172
00:10:28,214 --> 00:10:30,018
Let's get more specific.
173
00:10:30,018 --> 00:10:31,768
I'm unable to bring it into focus.
174
00:10:31,792 --> 00:10:33,128
Number One?
175
00:10:33,698 --> 00:10:36,191
Range is 2,000 kilometers.
176
00:10:36,216 --> 00:10:37,806
Bearing 358 mark 269.
177
00:10:38,044 --> 00:10:41,501
Roughly 150 meters long, tucked
into that accretion disk.
178
00:10:41,526 --> 00:10:42,869
Almost directly below us.
179
00:10:42,894 --> 00:10:44,984
It's in a sensor dead zone.
180
00:10:45,136 --> 00:10:47,650
Some kind of scattering field is
confounding the ship's ability
181
00:10:47,675 --> 00:10:49,086
to translate the image.
182
00:10:49,111 --> 00:10:50,988
As science officer,
183
00:10:51,386 --> 00:10:54,659
I can provide a far more
concrete and in-depth analysis
184
00:10:54,716 --> 00:10:57,029
than simply reading data off a monitor.
185
00:10:57,054 --> 00:11:01,062
But considering it's scrambling
our optical processors,
186
00:11:01,087 --> 00:11:03,437
how are we going to be able to see it?
187
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:09,334
Thoughts, Number One?
188
00:11:09,889 --> 00:11:13,559
With such little data, I'd
prefer not to speculate.
189
00:11:13,584 --> 00:11:16,084
Oh, I will. It's lurking.
190
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:18,294
The scattering field it's
emitting suggests intent.
191
00:11:18,319 --> 00:11:19,884
We see something we don't understand
192
00:11:19,909 --> 00:11:21,122
and instantly cast judgment?
193
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:22,473
Maybe it's lost.
194
00:11:22,498 --> 00:11:24,544
Maybe it's afraid to
show us its whole self.
195
00:11:24,569 --> 00:11:27,859
Hiding, but maybe hoping to be found.
196
00:11:29,111 --> 00:11:31,611
Here we are, speculating.
197
00:11:31,636 --> 00:11:36,526
I respectfully recommend
we leave it alone.
198
00:11:36,551 --> 00:11:38,801
I'm not sure
we have much choice.
199
00:11:38,826 --> 00:11:41,650
We can't lock on to it, and
we don't have a shuttle
200
00:11:41,675 --> 00:11:43,691
maneuverable enough
to navigate the ring.
201
00:11:43,716 --> 00:11:45,463
I'll go.
202
00:11:45,488 --> 00:11:47,252
All I need is a thruster pack.
203
00:11:47,277 --> 00:11:49,107
With the high levels of radiation
204
00:11:49,132 --> 00:11:51,202
kicking off those binaries,
she'll have 20 minutes
205
00:11:51,227 --> 00:11:53,937
until her DNA starts to
unravel like noodles.
206
00:11:53,962 --> 00:11:55,132
Like noodles?
207
00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:57,655
I'll be back in 19. A flyby.
208
00:11:57,655 --> 00:11:58,905
It seems a waste of the ship's
209
00:11:58,930 --> 00:12:00,006
resources. What will be gained?
210
00:12:00,031 --> 00:12:01,459
You do understand that being afraid
211
00:12:01,484 --> 00:12:03,788
of everything means you learn nothing.
212
00:12:03,813 --> 00:12:06,113
There's no opportunity to discover,
213
00:12:06,138 --> 00:12:07,888
- to explore.
- And here I thought
214
00:12:07,965 --> 00:12:10,116
we were doing a deep-space
communication relay audit.
215
00:12:10,141 --> 00:12:11,881
You're both right.
216
00:12:11,915 --> 00:12:13,209
Saru, go with her.
217
00:12:13,234 --> 00:12:14,297
- Captain!
- Captain!
218
00:12:14,322 --> 00:12:15,319
Best to keep variables
219
00:12:15,344 --> 00:12:16,405
to a minimum. I wouldn't want
220
00:12:16,430 --> 00:12:17,662
to put my colleague at risk.
221
00:12:17,694 --> 00:12:19,483
And you, Mr. Saru, are you equally
222
00:12:19,508 --> 00:12:21,219
happy not to be put at risk?
223
00:12:21,244 --> 00:12:23,244
Oh, on any occasion, Captain.
224
00:12:25,149 --> 00:12:26,249
You realize,
225
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,271
once you reach that scattering field,
226
00:12:29,296 --> 00:12:31,426
you could be cut off
from all communication.
227
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:33,661
We've come all this way, Captain.
228
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,278
It would be... irresponsible
229
00:12:36,303 --> 00:12:38,343
to leave whatever that is unknown.
230
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:40,439
Just a flyby.
231
00:12:41,788 --> 00:12:43,838
Just a flyby.
232
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:46,145
Commencing airlock
233
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:48,013
depressurization sequence.
234
00:12:50,223 --> 00:12:52,919
Commander Burnham,
this is Ensign Danby Connor.
235
00:12:52,944 --> 00:12:55,343
On behalf of Captain
Georgiou and the entire crew
236
00:12:55,368 --> 00:12:56,383
of the U.S.S. Shenzhou,
237
00:12:56,383 --> 00:12:58,293
we'd like to welcome you to flight 819
238
00:12:58,318 --> 00:13:01,018
with non-stop service to the
"object of unknown origin."
239
00:13:01,043 --> 00:13:04,246
The temperature outside is a
brisk minus-260 degrees Celsius.
240
00:13:04,271 --> 00:13:05,941
We are forecasting some mild debris,
241
00:13:05,966 --> 00:13:07,376
but anticipate a smooth ride.
242
00:13:15,657 --> 00:13:17,597
This is Commander Burnham.
243
00:13:17,622 --> 00:13:19,202
Commencing reconnaissance mission
244
00:13:19,227 --> 00:13:21,227
to field void and unknown object.
245
00:13:21,252 --> 00:13:23,539
Data collection is on and nominal.
246
00:13:23,564 --> 00:13:25,499
All lights are green.
247
00:13:25,524 --> 00:13:27,515
Establishing
interlink frequency
248
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:28,827
with Commander Burnham's EV.
249
00:13:28,852 --> 00:13:29,907
Channel clear...
250
00:13:29,932 --> 00:13:31,642
and ready to transmit.
251
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,805
Confirming six-second
directional thrust
252
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:35,993
for saucer realignment.
253
00:13:36,875 --> 00:13:39,255
Commencing final
prelaunch system checks.
254
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,900
nominal.
255
00:13:40,925 --> 00:13:43,595
nominal.
256
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:45,935
nominal.
257
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,901
active.
258
00:13:53,498 --> 00:13:57,099
Filters at 0.01% saturation.
259
00:14:01,255 --> 00:14:03,255
Preflight checklist complete.
260
00:14:05,884 --> 00:14:09,187
The object is 2,000 kilometers...
261
00:14:11,697 --> 00:14:14,618
Computer, enable igniter.
262
00:14:14,643 --> 00:14:16,865
Ten seconds
to thruster ignition.
263
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,890
Ten, nine, eight,
264
00:14:19,915 --> 00:14:22,873
seven, six, five,
265
00:14:22,907 --> 00:14:27,886
four, three, two, one.
266
00:14:46,326 --> 00:14:47,862
Body scan on line, heart rate
267
00:14:47,863 --> 00:14:50,294
79 and rising, BP 130/70.
268
00:14:50,319 --> 00:14:51,699
That's a little elevated for her.
269
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:53,054
She's having fun.
270
00:14:53,079 --> 00:14:54,829
Almost to the
debris field, Captain.
271
00:14:54,854 --> 00:14:56,444
Understood.
272
00:14:56,518 --> 00:14:58,664
Michael, watch your time.
273
00:14:58,689 --> 00:15:00,721
19 minutes, not a nanosecond longer.
274
00:15:00,746 --> 00:15:02,432
Aye, Captain.
275
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:03,917
I'm fully aware.
276
00:15:04,002 --> 00:15:05,212
Boost signal.
277
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:07,610
Unable to comply. Scattering field.
278
00:15:07,635 --> 00:15:08,958
It must be interfering with comms.
279
00:15:08,983 --> 00:15:10,274
Mission clock at 17 minutes,
280
00:15:10,299 --> 00:15:11,141
30 seconds.
281
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:12,166
Interference is starting
282
00:15:12,191 --> 00:15:13,311
to degrade resolution.
283
00:15:13,336 --> 00:15:14,438
Routing additional power
284
00:15:14,463 --> 00:15:15,633
to subspace antenna.
285
00:15:23,061 --> 00:15:24,492
Shenzhou, do you copy?
286
00:15:24,517 --> 00:15:26,236
Distance to object
1,000 kilometers and closing.
287
00:15:26,261 --> 00:15:27,674
Shenzhou, do you copy?
288
00:15:27,674 --> 00:15:29,946
Implementing automatic
course correction.
289
00:15:45,732 --> 00:15:47,155
Hello.
290
00:15:48,877 --> 00:15:50,577
Shenzhou, are you able to see this?
291
00:15:52,217 --> 00:15:54,467
Michael, can you hear me? Acknowledge.
292
00:15:55,201 --> 00:15:57,833
Michael? Can you hear me?
293
00:15:57,858 --> 00:15:58,618
Acknowledge.
294
00:15:58,643 --> 00:15:59,726
There's just
too much interference.
295
00:15:59,975 --> 00:16:01,886
Shenzhou, do you copy?
296
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,847
Data Collection Unit, are you there?
297
00:16:05,871 --> 00:16:07,621
Internal computer on line.
298
00:16:07,646 --> 00:16:10,151
Good. Mission time?
299
00:16:10,176 --> 00:16:12,106
12 minutes, 58 seconds.
300
00:16:14,218 --> 00:16:16,085
Plenty of time to take a peek.
301
00:16:16,306 --> 00:16:19,528
Even from this distance,
it's clearly not debris.
302
00:16:20,004 --> 00:16:23,284
12 minutes and 48 seconds
until maximum radiation exposure.
303
00:16:23,309 --> 00:16:25,082
The commander is less than ten
meters from the outermost
304
00:16:25,107 --> 00:16:26,747
edge of the scattering field.
305
00:16:27,201 --> 00:16:29,485
I can't remember who said sculptures are
306
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:31,800
crystallized spirituality.
307
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:33,173
Headlamp.
308
00:16:33,572 --> 00:16:34,662
But I see what they meant.
309
00:16:34,687 --> 00:16:36,647
This is Burnham in the blind.
310
00:16:36,672 --> 00:16:38,712
I'm above the object, which is old.
311
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:41,281
Centuries old.
312
00:16:41,306 --> 00:16:45,318
It's difficult to tell if it
was constructed or carved.
313
00:16:46,081 --> 00:16:48,865
The only word to effectively
describe it is...
314
00:16:49,907 --> 00:16:51,390
wow.
315
00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:55,059
But I'll try to be more precise.
316
00:16:55,059 --> 00:16:57,074
Its surface has the appearance of stone
317
00:16:57,099 --> 00:16:59,889
with an exoskeleton of metal alloy.
318
00:17:02,554 --> 00:17:04,554
Incredibly intricate.
319
00:17:04,579 --> 00:17:07,870
The construction and design are
nothing short of astounding.
320
00:17:08,999 --> 00:17:10,730
I wish you could see what I'm seeing.
321
00:17:11,214 --> 00:17:12,933
It is sublime.
322
00:17:16,782 --> 00:17:20,023
It's impossible to discern
a practical purpose.
323
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:23,597
Going to land on it, get a closer look.
324
00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:28,204
Nice and easy.
325
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:33,485
Hold on.
326
00:17:33,485 --> 00:17:36,695
My presence has triggered
some sort of motion response.
327
00:17:49,637 --> 00:17:54,231
ten minutes, 15 seconds.
328
00:17:56,161 --> 00:17:59,510
Warning. Proximity alert.
329
00:18:09,271 --> 00:18:11,748
Scanning for database recognition.
330
00:18:11,773 --> 00:18:15,169
Klingon.
331
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:18,642
I'm Commander Burnham
332
00:18:19,046 --> 00:18:20,676
of the United Federation of....
333
00:18:32,431 --> 00:18:34,261
Still no sign
of Commander Burnham.
334
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:35,378
Mission clock
335
00:18:35,378 --> 00:18:36,798
runs out in 15 seconds.
336
00:18:36,957 --> 00:18:39,166
There's still too much interference.
337
00:18:39,167 --> 00:18:40,178
Initiating...
338
00:18:40,203 --> 00:18:42,574
I have Number One.
339
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:43,522
Telemetry only.
340
00:18:43,547 --> 00:18:44,955
Blood pressure is 70 and falling.
341
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:45,958
She won't make it unless
we get her back now.
342
00:18:45,983 --> 00:18:47,153
Transporter Control.
343
00:18:47,178 --> 00:18:48,392
Do we have her, Mr. Weeton?
344
00:18:48,417 --> 00:18:49,735
Pattern integrity's too weak, Captain.
345
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,630
Saru, get a lock on her.
Boost her signal.
346
00:18:51,655 --> 00:18:53,705
Captain, there is no signal.
347
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:55,246
You better get me a signal.
348
00:18:56,005 --> 00:18:57,875
Remotely fire her jetpack.
349
00:18:57,900 --> 00:18:58,990
She's off line.
350
00:18:58,990 --> 00:18:59,814
She's floating free.
351
00:18:59,814 --> 00:19:01,027
Engineering. Tractor beam?
352
00:19:01,027 --> 00:19:03,157
Can't get a lock. We're
running manual calculations.
353
00:19:03,182 --> 00:19:05,472
The scattering field is
still a problem, Captain.
354
00:19:05,497 --> 00:19:07,597
We can't transport her
until she clears it.
355
00:19:07,622 --> 00:19:09,010
She'll soon exhibit symptoms
356
00:19:09,010 --> 00:19:10,645
of acute radiation syndrome.
357
00:19:10,669 --> 00:19:12,463
She's not gonna
last much longer.
358
00:19:13,356 --> 00:19:14,707
Hang on.
359
00:19:18,231 --> 00:19:21,323
Shenzhou, please respond.
360
00:19:21,801 --> 00:19:24,194
Commander Burnham?
361
00:19:24,194 --> 00:19:25,782
Commander, please respond.
362
00:19:26,456 --> 00:19:28,153
Control to Commander Burnham.
363
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:30,126
Commander, do you read?
364
00:19:30,151 --> 00:19:31,240
Please respond.
365
00:19:39,551 --> 00:19:41,949
_
366
00:19:42,803 --> 00:19:45,660

367

_
368
00:19:47,710 --> 00:19:51,254
_
369
00:19:56,934 --> 00:19:58,934

Pupil Burnham.
384

Pupil Burnham.
385
00:21:38,652 --> 00:21:40,821
14 solar years.
386
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:48,077
Klingon
social order rests upon?
387
00:21:48,077 --> 00:21:50,200
Inviolable honor/shame dynamic.
388
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:52,771
Correct. Klingon homeworld Qo'noS.
389
00:21:52,771 --> 00:21:54,341
Unwelcoming to the Federation.
390
00:21:54,341 --> 00:21:56,897
Correct. Klingon political order.
391
00:21:56,922 --> 00:21:58,227
24 great houses.
392
00:21:58,252 --> 00:22:02,712
Correct. Location of the most
recent Klingon terror raid.
393

Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
394

Number of survivors at the
Human-Vulcan science outpost
395

at Doctari Alpha.
396

Unacceptable duration between
query and correct response.
397
00:22:18,721 --> 00:22:21,221
Number of survivors at Doctari Alpha.
398
00:22:21,246 --> 00:22:22,300
No.
399
00:22:22,325 --> 00:22:23,793
Unacceptable response.
400
00:22:23,818 --> 00:22:25,602
- Number of survivors...
- Please.
401
00:22:28,405 --> 00:22:30,115
Stop!
402
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,640
Program paused.
403
00:22:37,010 --> 00:22:37,954
Sarek.
404
00:22:38,817 --> 00:22:39,987
I'm sorry.
405
00:22:40,324 --> 00:22:41,676
I can do better.
406
00:22:41,701 --> 00:22:44,457
When emotion brings us
ghosts from the past,
407
00:22:44,482 --> 00:22:47,253
only logic can root us in the present.
408
00:22:47,253 --> 00:22:49,293
Maybe I can try to learn Vulcan.
409
00:22:49,317 --> 00:22:51,649
To be quicker with my answers.
410
00:22:51,674 --> 00:22:54,254
Your human tongue is not the problem.
411
00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:56,330
It is your human heart.
412
00:23:07,653 --> 00:23:09,618
Good. You're awake.
413
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:11,403
I was dreaming.
414
00:23:12,038 --> 00:23:13,543
Oh? What about?
415
00:23:14,362 --> 00:23:16,215
Klingons.
416
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,105
How did I get here?
417
00:23:18,902 --> 00:23:21,643
We transported you back
aboard three hours ago.
418
00:23:22,608 --> 00:23:23,612
Three hours?
419
00:23:23,637 --> 00:23:26,284
Antiproton therapy
regimen incomplete.
420
00:23:26,284 --> 00:23:28,431
- Commander, what are you doing?
- Session terminated prematurely.
421
00:23:28,431 --> 00:23:30,061
- Medical Emergency
- There's no time.
422
00:23:30,086 --> 00:23:32,477
Commander, wait. The
recombination process
423
00:23:32,502 --> 00:23:33,762
is nowhere near finished.
424
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:35,845
I need you back in the
antiproton chamber.
425
00:23:35,870 --> 00:23:38,450
Do you understand the effect
of genetic unspooling?
426
00:23:38,475 --> 00:23:39,845
You don't want to die that way.
427
00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:41,265
Commander!
428
00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:42,851
The binaries are kicking off
429
00:23:42,876 --> 00:23:44,700
serious QEs up and down the spectrum.
430
00:23:44,725 --> 00:23:46,025
Targeting gets hot, but I still
431
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:47,420
can't tell what I'm grabbing onto.
432
00:23:47,445 --> 00:23:49,137
I want to know what's out there, people.
433
00:23:49,162 --> 00:23:50,966
Okay, let's go around the
horn again, by the numbers.
434
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:52,203
What's going on?
435
00:23:53,552 --> 00:23:55,936
Number One, you should be in sickbay.
436
00:23:55,961 --> 00:23:57,501
What...
437
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,967
Have they made contact?
438
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,133
Who's "they"?
439
00:24:00,133 --> 00:24:01,213
There are Klingons out there.
440
00:24:01,238 --> 00:24:02,528
We need to go to red alert.
441
00:24:02,553 --> 00:24:03,672
Michael.
442
00:24:05,858 --> 00:24:09,118
Almost no one has seen a
Klingon in a hundred years.
443
00:24:09,143 --> 00:24:11,565
I have. One attacked me on that object.
444
00:24:11,636 --> 00:24:12,716
Check my helmet cam.
445
00:24:12,741 --> 00:24:14,131
The footage was corrupted.
446
00:24:14,156 --> 00:24:16,309
Internal sensors show that the
commander has entered the bridge
447
00:24:16,334 --> 00:24:17,624
in an irradiated state.
448
00:24:17,649 --> 00:24:18,926
Without immediate treatment,
449
00:24:18,951 --> 00:24:20,957
her condition will most
certainly be terminal.
450
00:24:20,982 --> 00:24:23,162
He was warrior caste.
451
00:24:23,187 --> 00:24:26,045
His-his EV suit bore a
Klingon house insignia.
452
00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:27,747
She also has a grade-three concussion.
453
00:24:27,772 --> 00:24:28,960
I'm not delusional.
454
00:24:28,985 --> 00:24:30,627
This has nothing to
do with a concussion.
455
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,068
Philippa...
456
00:24:33,614 --> 00:24:35,120
there are Klingons.
457
00:24:40,436 --> 00:24:41,693
Red alert.
458
00:24:46,463 --> 00:24:47,564
Tell me what happened.
459
00:24:47,744 --> 00:24:48,950
He ambushed me.
460
00:24:49,281 --> 00:24:51,220
I hit my thruster pack to get away.
461
00:24:51,245 --> 00:24:53,152
I somehow knocked him into his blade.
462
00:24:53,949 --> 00:24:55,280
I killed him.
463
00:24:57,087 --> 00:24:59,438
But that object could be hiding
a Klingon raiding party,
464
00:24:59,438 --> 00:25:01,188
obscured behind that scattering field.
465
00:25:01,214 --> 00:25:03,089
If there are
Klingons in this sector,
466
00:25:03,114 --> 00:25:06,007
they may be responsible for
the damage to our relay.
467
00:25:06,237 --> 00:25:08,197
If there are Klingons in this sector,
468
00:25:08,197 --> 00:25:10,189
we should withdraw immediately.
469
00:25:10,229 --> 00:25:11,699
This is Federation space.
470
00:25:12,092 --> 00:25:13,764
Retreat is not an option.
471
00:25:15,402 --> 00:25:16,695
Whatever is over there
472
00:25:16,695 --> 00:25:18,069
needs to show itself.
473
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:21,460
If it's hiding Klingons,
we've got to flush them out.
474
00:25:21,761 --> 00:25:24,692
Target phase cannons on the object.
475
00:25:26,627 --> 00:25:30,212
We cannot destroy another
culture's property on a whim.
476
00:25:30,237 --> 00:25:31,907
I didn't say anything
about destroying it.
477
00:25:31,932 --> 00:25:34,302
Let's make them think
we're going to attack.
478
00:25:34,327 --> 00:25:35,913
Target the object.
479
00:25:36,618 --> 00:25:38,276
We're locked on.
480
00:25:38,988 --> 00:25:40,487
Something is scanning us.
481
00:25:40,512 --> 00:25:42,763
They've detected our weapons signature.
482
00:25:43,477 --> 00:25:44,697
Wait.
483
00:25:58,274 --> 00:25:59,890
Impossible.
484
00:25:59,890 --> 00:26:01,930
No warp signatures
detected, Captain.
485
00:26:02,111 --> 00:26:04,231
Then where did they come from?
486
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:07,483
Mr. Gant, disengage
phase-cannon targeting.
487
00:26:08,719 --> 00:26:10,394
Number One, get to sickbay.
488
00:26:10,419 --> 00:26:13,039
I need you fixed up and
back on the bridge, stat.
489
00:26:13,158 --> 00:26:16,027
Mr. Januzzi, contact Starfleet Command.
490
00:26:16,027 --> 00:26:17,737
Send an encoded message.
491
00:26:17,762 --> 00:26:21,734
Tell them we have engaged the Klingons.
492
00:26:28,979 --> 00:26:30,629
Unidentified Klingon vessel,
493
00:26:30,629 --> 00:26:32,049
this is the Federation
Starship Shenzhou.
494
00:26:32,075 --> 00:26:33,586
Please respond.
495
00:26:35,425 --> 00:26:37,005

You're transmitting on every
subspace channel there is.
559

Your orders, Commander?
560

00:30:20,649 --> 00:30:22,189
I'd like to show you.
564
00:30:24,681 --> 00:30:28,931
Their hull is covered in hollow,
ornamental, metallic pods,
565
00:30:28,955 --> 00:30:30,746
thousands of them, tightly interlocked,
566
00:30:31,099 --> 00:30:33,893
forming a kind of... armor.
567
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,792
Not the most efficient defense.
568
00:30:36,066 --> 00:30:39,776
I suspect its purpose is more
symbolic than practical.
569
00:30:41,043 --> 00:30:43,818
They contain Klingon biological material
570
00:30:43,818 --> 00:30:45,666
in various states of decay.
571
00:30:45,691 --> 00:30:47,440
Remote dating is wildly divergent.
572
00:30:47,465 --> 00:30:49,418
Some bones date back thousands of years,
573
00:30:49,443 --> 00:30:50,668
others only hours old.
574
00:30:51,446 --> 00:30:53,940
Their entire ship is
covered with coffins.
575
00:30:54,817 --> 00:30:57,578
Commander, the captain listens to you.
576
00:30:58,191 --> 00:30:59,146
Tell her.
577
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:01,940
We must withdraw.
578
00:31:03,170 --> 00:31:05,978
I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
579
00:31:10,237 --> 00:31:13,277
Your world has food chains.
580
00:31:13,302 --> 00:31:14,817
Mine does not.
581
00:31:15,367 --> 00:31:17,382
Our species map is binary.
582
00:31:17,407 --> 00:31:19,617
We are either predator or prey.
583
00:31:20,266 --> 00:31:21,711
My people were hunted.
584
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,221
Bred. Farmed.
585
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,874
We are your livestock of old.
586
00:31:27,501 --> 00:31:30,094
We were biologically
determined for one purpose
587
00:31:30,094 --> 00:31:31,857
and one purpose alone:
588
00:31:32,814 --> 00:31:35,048
to sense the coming of death.
589
00:31:37,778 --> 00:31:39,987
I sense it coming now.
590
00:31:44,924 --> 00:31:47,214
The Klingon
flagship has a stealth mode.
591
00:31:47,591 --> 00:31:49,454
It's some kind of cloaking screen,
592
00:31:49,478 --> 00:31:51,712
unlike anything we've
ever seen, Admiral.
593
00:31:51,737 --> 00:31:53,777
There may be more vessels
out there than we know.
594
00:31:53,842 --> 00:31:55,512
We've reached out with every form
595
00:31:55,537 --> 00:31:57,384
of friendship greeting Starfleet has.
596
00:31:57,553 --> 00:31:58,687
They're blocking our hails.
597
00:31:58,712 --> 00:32:00,107
Uh, it feels like a setup.
598
00:32:00,132 --> 00:32:02,637
Maybe our relay got too
close for Klingon comfort,
599
00:32:02,662 --> 00:32:04,952
and they destroyed it
to lure us out here.
600
00:32:05,002 --> 00:32:06,462
You remember my first officer
601
00:32:06,487 --> 00:32:07,683
Michael Burnham?
602
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:10,070
Next time, you might try not disturbing
603
00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:11,508
the property of a warrior race
604
00:32:11,533 --> 00:32:13,453
we've hardly spoken to
for a hundred years.
605
00:32:13,633 --> 00:32:16,253
Our only choice now is to
navigate this situation
606
00:32:16,278 --> 00:32:17,937
with as much finesse as possible.
607
00:32:17,962 --> 00:32:19,573
Admiral, if I may.
608
00:32:22,905 --> 00:32:26,629
The ideal outcome for any
Klingon interaction is battle.
609
00:32:26,999 --> 00:32:29,103
They're relentlessly hostile, sir.
610
00:32:29,510 --> 00:32:30,585
It's in their nature.
611
00:32:30,585 --> 00:32:32,596
The Federation and the Klingon Empire
612
00:32:32,622 --> 00:32:35,100
have always been on
the cold side of war.
613
00:32:35,147 --> 00:32:37,772
We've had only fleeting run-ins
with them for a century.
614
00:32:37,797 --> 00:32:38,775
And now you presume
615
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,210
to know their motivation
616
00:32:40,235 --> 00:32:41,895
because it is "in their nature"?
617
00:32:42,208 --> 00:32:43,731
Considering your
background, I would think
618
00:32:43,731 --> 00:32:46,196
you're the last person to make
assumptions based on race.
619
00:32:46,221 --> 00:32:49,178
With respect, it would be unwise
to confuse race and culture.
620
00:32:49,178 --> 00:32:52,098
The Europa and all fleet
vessels within range
621
00:32:52,123 --> 00:32:53,928
will be at your
coordinates in two hours.
622
00:32:53,953 --> 00:32:54,893
Hold your position.
623
00:32:54,918 --> 00:32:57,403
Do nothing absent
provocation, understood?
624
00:32:57,428 --> 00:32:58,917
Understood, Admiral.
625
00:32:58,942 --> 00:33:01,290
Signal terminated.
626
00:33:01,981 --> 00:33:03,150
That went well.
627
00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:06,470
What's the mood outside?
628
00:33:06,669 --> 00:33:08,675
Saru is the only one talking.
629
00:33:09,543 --> 00:33:12,844
He strongly believes
we should about-face.
630
00:33:13,663 --> 00:33:16,363
There is a space station
at Eagle-Twelve,
631
00:33:16,388 --> 00:33:17,749
three light-years away.
632
00:33:17,774 --> 00:33:20,810
The Andorian colony at
Gamma-Hydra is six.
633
00:33:20,835 --> 00:33:23,969
Shenzhou is their only line of
defense if the Klingons attack.
634
00:33:23,969 --> 00:33:26,248
Not if... when.
635
00:33:26,273 --> 00:33:29,153
I have to hope that
whatever happens here
636
00:33:29,178 --> 00:33:32,100
can serve as a bridge
between our civilizations.
637
00:33:32,374 --> 00:33:34,300
That's the diplomat in you talking.
638
00:33:35,174 --> 00:33:37,129
What does the soldier say?
639
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,852
Nothing good.
640
00:33:44,454 --> 00:33:46,244
Captain to the bridge.
641
00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:48,499
Status?
642
00:33:48,499 --> 00:33:51,062
Massive photonic activity on
the Klingon object, Captain.
643
00:33:51,087 --> 00:33:53,452
Output is over one billion
lumens per square meter.
644
00:33:53,477 --> 00:33:54,647
Optical sensors overloading.
645
00:33:54,672 --> 00:33:55,959
Bring plasmatic
filters on line.
646
00:33:55,959 --> 00:33:57,468
Rerouting power.
647
00:33:57,535 --> 00:33:58,902
Is that a weapon?
648
00:33:58,927 --> 00:34:01,949
It seems to be some
sort of signal emitter.
649
00:34:03,366 --> 00:34:04,830
Where are my filters?
650
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:06,580
They're at 100%, Captain.
651
00:34:19,819 --> 00:34:22,757
Initiating emergency shutdown.
652
00:34:22,953 --> 00:34:24,102
That noise is some kind of
653
00:34:24,127 --> 00:34:25,899
electromagnetic subspace wave-form.
654
00:34:25,924 --> 00:34:27,008
Narrowing channel range.
655
00:34:27,008 --> 00:34:28,820
Adjusting orientation
to minimize dispersal.
656
00:34:28,845 --> 00:34:29,745
Somebody turn it down.
657
00:34:29,745 --> 00:34:30,740
Aye, Captain.
658
00:34:30,821 --> 00:34:32,995
- All the way down.
- Acoustics are muted.
659
00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:35,789
That's the ship's superstructure
in sympathetic vibration.
660
00:34:36,616 --> 00:34:38,276
It's a signal pulse.
661
00:34:38,301 --> 00:34:39,585
Is there a message?
662
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:41,070
This may be the message.
663
00:34:41,229 --> 00:34:43,867
Captain, what if they're calling
for the same thing we are?
664
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:45,807
Backup.
665
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,176
Long-range sensors to the maximum, Saru.
666
00:34:48,176 --> 00:34:49,556
If more Klingons are on their way,
667
00:34:49,736 --> 00:34:51,677
I want as much notice as possible.
668
00:34:51,702 --> 00:34:53,242
Permission to leave the bridge, Captain?
669
00:34:53,267 --> 00:34:55,526
- Are you kidding?
- It's relevant.
670
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:57,966
Granted.
671
00:34:58,287 --> 00:35:01,248
Ensign, get me a status
report, deck by deck.
672
00:35:01,274 --> 00:35:02,394
Aye, Captain.
673
00:35:04,443 --> 00:35:05,257
Computer.
674
00:35:05,445 --> 00:35:06,525
Working.
675
00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:09,260
Open dedicated subspace channel 222AA7.
676
00:35:09,285 --> 00:35:10,854
Use of this frequency requires
677
00:35:10,879 --> 00:35:13,182
- diplomatic authorization.
- Voiceprint authorize.
678
00:35:13,207 --> 00:35:15,653
Burnham... Michael.
679
00:35:15,678 --> 00:35:16,901
Confirmed.
680
00:35:18,140 --> 00:35:19,206
Commander Burnham.
681
00:35:19,206 --> 00:35:20,323
Hello, Sarek.
682
00:35:20,528 --> 00:35:21,574
I'm happy to see you.
683
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:22,969
So many years.
684
00:35:22,994 --> 00:35:25,366
And still you allow
emotional considerations
685
00:35:25,391 --> 00:35:26,811
to impede your logic.
686
00:35:26,836 --> 00:35:29,583
They inform my logic.
687
00:35:30,906 --> 00:35:32,335
I need your help.
688
00:35:32,574 --> 00:35:35,481
I assume the timing of the
call was not coincidental.
689
00:35:35,506 --> 00:35:38,372
The quadrant reports a
new star in the sky.
690
00:35:39,748 --> 00:35:42,828
What have you done out there, on
the edge of Federation space?
691
00:35:42,853 --> 00:35:44,943
We've encountered the Klingons.
692
00:35:44,968 --> 00:35:48,508
How rare to meet one's
own demons in the flesh.
693
00:35:48,533 --> 00:35:50,533
I killed one.
694
00:35:50,962 --> 00:35:55,022
In light of the fact that
they killed your parents,
695
00:35:55,047 --> 00:35:58,177
some might think that only fair.
696
00:35:58,202 --> 00:35:59,890
However,
697
00:35:59,915 --> 00:36:02,439
if a death was necessary,
698
00:36:02,464 --> 00:36:05,566
I am satisfied it was not yours.
699
00:36:06,848 --> 00:36:09,978
I'm most certain you did not
call me for emotional solace.
700
00:36:10,003 --> 00:36:11,833
We're facing off.
701
00:36:11,858 --> 00:36:13,938
No fire has been exchanged.
702
00:36:14,099 --> 00:36:15,979
But they didn't turn on that beacon
703
00:36:16,004 --> 00:36:18,164
until Starfleet was on
its way to our position.
704
00:36:18,189 --> 00:36:20,414
I think they're summoning
more of their kind.
705
00:36:20,439 --> 00:36:22,837
An odd proposition given
that their empire
706
00:36:22,862 --> 00:36:24,822
has been in disarray for generations.
707
00:36:24,847 --> 00:36:27,437
But you are describing
something out of the ordinary.
708
00:36:27,462 --> 00:36:30,252
Restraint in the face of conflict.
709
00:36:30,277 --> 00:36:33,468
When a civilization acts in
opposition to its instincts,
710
00:36:33,493 --> 00:36:37,373
it may be under the influence
of something, or someone, new.
711
00:36:37,765 --> 00:36:41,566
Great unifiers are few and far between,
712
00:36:41,591 --> 00:36:43,771
but they do come.
713
00:36:43,796 --> 00:36:47,256
Often, such leaders will
need a profound cause
714
00:36:47,281 --> 00:36:49,281
for their followers to rally around.
715
00:36:49,306 --> 00:36:50,966
A war.
716
00:36:51,465 --> 00:36:54,675
Be very careful that your assumptions
717
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:58,285
are not being driven by your past.
718
00:36:58,310 --> 00:37:00,890
This isn't about what happened, Sarek.
719
00:37:00,915 --> 00:37:03,205
It's what's happening now.
720
00:37:04,934 --> 00:37:07,479
How did the Vulcans achieve
diplomatic relations
721
00:37:07,504 --> 00:37:08,884
with the Klingons?
722
00:37:08,909 --> 00:37:11,143
That is a solution particular to us.
723
00:37:11,168 --> 00:37:14,386
One cannot assume it would work
on a ship commanded by humans.
724
00:37:14,411 --> 00:37:18,175
Sarek... please.
725
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,450
I caution you, be considered
726
00:37:21,475 --> 00:37:24,094
with how you use this information.
727
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:26,689
You cannot save lives that
have already been lost.
728
00:37:26,714 --> 00:37:28,084
Tell me.
729
00:37:28,109 --> 00:37:31,360
How did you keep the Klingons at bay?
730
00:37:32,438 --> 00:37:35,168
Engineering, report.
731
00:37:35,193 --> 00:37:36,304
Internal damage, negative.
732
00:37:36,329 --> 00:37:37,649
Core is 100%.
733
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:39,554
Captain, we have to fire on them.
734
00:37:39,579 --> 00:37:41,117
Hit that ship with everything we've got.
735
00:37:41,142 --> 00:37:43,726
Absolutely not.
They haven't powered weapons.
736
00:37:43,751 --> 00:37:45,860
They don't appear to
pose an imminent threat.
737
00:37:45,885 --> 00:37:48,314
The Klingon threat is always
imminent and inevitable.
738
00:37:48,339 --> 00:37:50,499
- Tactical log's ready.
- Thank you, Mr. Gant.
739
00:37:50,524 --> 00:37:53,924
I'd like to remind you,
we're wildly outgunned.
740
00:37:54,211 --> 00:37:56,886
240 years ago, near H'Atoria,
741
00:37:56,911 --> 00:37:58,911
a Vulcan ship crossed
into Klingon space.
742
00:37:58,961 --> 00:38:00,890
The Klingons attacked immediately.
743
00:38:00,915 --> 00:38:02,725
They destroyed the vessel.
744
00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:05,250
Vulcans don't make the
same mistake twice.
745
00:38:05,275 --> 00:38:07,935
From then on, until formal
relations were established,
746
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,109
whenever the Vulcans crossed
paths with Klingons,
747
00:38:10,134 --> 00:38:12,334
the Vulcans fired first.
748
00:38:12,359 --> 00:38:15,402
They said "hello" in a language
the Klingons understood.
749
00:38:15,427 --> 00:38:17,217
Violence brought respect.
750
00:38:17,242 --> 00:38:19,152
Respect brought peace.
751
00:38:19,338 --> 00:38:23,178
Captain. We have to give the
Klingons a Vulcan "hello."
752
00:38:23,203 --> 00:38:25,464
If their intention is to attack,
753
00:38:25,656 --> 00:38:29,084
balling up our fists
won't dissuade them.
754
00:38:32,087 --> 00:38:34,127
It would be logical for
you to take into account
755
00:38:34,152 --> 00:38:36,929
my success rate during our
seven years together,
756
00:38:36,954 --> 00:38:39,108
and execute my plan
without further challenge
757
00:38:39,133 --> 00:38:40,875
before we're dragged into war.
758
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:43,320
Starfleet doesn't fire first.
759
00:38:43,367 --> 00:38:44,907
That's all, Number One.
760
00:38:44,932 --> 00:38:46,470
We have to.
761
00:38:49,432 --> 00:38:52,858
In my ready room. Now.
762
00:38:53,824 --> 00:38:55,811
Lieutenant Commander,
you have the bridge.
763
00:38:55,836 --> 00:38:58,123
Yes, Captain.
764
00:39:01,979 --> 00:39:03,372
Computer, privacy.
765
00:39:03,397 --> 00:39:04,279
Captain...
766
00:39:04,304 --> 00:39:06,394
How dare you challenge me?
767
00:39:06,712 --> 00:39:09,364
I apologize for my insubordination.
768
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:12,252
Don't you realize that kind of
talk can destabilize a crew?
769
00:39:12,277 --> 00:39:13,817
Don't underestimate them.
770
00:39:13,842 --> 00:39:15,185
I've overseen their exercises;
771
00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:16,475
they're ready for battle.
772
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:18,431
Battle is not a simulation.
773
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:23,496
It's blood and screams and funerals.
774
00:39:23,521 --> 00:39:25,394
I taught you better than this.
775
00:39:25,419 --> 00:39:27,397
We don't start shooting on a hunch,
776
00:39:27,422 --> 00:39:30,042
and we don't take
innocent lives. Period.
777
00:39:30,554 --> 00:39:33,014
I understand your history
with the Klingons.
778
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:34,384
My commitment to this course of action
779
00:39:34,409 --> 00:39:35,749
is not emotional.
780
00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:38,314
We target its neck, cut off its head...
781
00:39:38,339 --> 00:39:39,600
You're still injured.
782
00:39:39,625 --> 00:39:41,210
- You're not thinking clearly...
- Thousands of lives will be
783
00:39:41,235 --> 00:39:43,076
- lost because of failure to act.
- Whose lives?
784
00:39:43,101 --> 00:39:45,186
Victims of your imaginary war?
785
00:39:45,219 --> 00:39:47,577
And your life, Captain.
786
00:39:48,361 --> 00:39:50,460
Yours.
787
00:39:52,286 --> 00:39:55,036
Stand down, Commander Burnham.
788
00:39:55,061 --> 00:39:57,039
That's an order.
789
00:39:58,443 --> 00:40:01,554
You're right.
790
00:40:03,021 --> 00:40:05,351
I may not be myself.
791
00:40:09,642 --> 00:40:12,262
Easy, Michael.
792
00:40:17,107 --> 00:40:19,527
I'm sorry.
793
00:40:24,258 --> 00:40:26,367
You're relieved, Mr. Saru.
794
00:40:26,401 --> 00:40:28,021
Where is the captain?
795
00:40:28,467 --> 00:40:30,257
I provided her with Klingon intel
796
00:40:30,282 --> 00:40:31,843
from a personal source on Vulcan.
797
00:40:31,868 --> 00:40:33,328
She's passing it to the admiral.
798
00:40:33,353 --> 00:40:35,918
Weapons, slot a pair of
photon torpedoes in the tubes
799
00:40:35,943 --> 00:40:37,223
and compute a firing solution
800
00:40:37,248 --> 00:40:39,043
targeting the neck of that Klingon ship.
801
00:40:39,068 --> 00:40:41,148
Is the plan to fire
on the Klingons, Commander?
802
00:40:41,173 --> 00:40:44,470
We have to be ready in case
that's what the captain decides.
803
00:40:44,769 --> 00:40:47,479
Are you acting on the captain's orders?
804
00:40:47,504 --> 00:40:49,414
I'm your superior officer.
805
00:40:49,439 --> 00:40:51,939
We are in a high-risk scenario.
806
00:40:51,964 --> 00:40:54,737
Question chain of command
again and I'll remove you.
807
00:40:54,986 --> 00:40:56,985
Commander. It's just...
808
00:40:57,186 --> 00:40:59,186
Your breathing is elevated.
809
00:40:59,211 --> 00:41:00,916
Perspiration's visible at your hairline.
810
00:41:00,941 --> 00:41:02,521
I fear what you are doing
811
00:41:02,546 --> 00:41:04,166
betrays the wishes of our captain.
812
00:41:04,191 --> 00:41:06,077
Target phasers.
813
00:41:06,102 --> 00:41:07,518
Take your station, Commander.
814
00:41:07,543 --> 00:41:08,898
This is mutiny.
815
00:41:08,923 --> 00:41:11,999
Move, Saru. Tactical.
816
00:41:12,024 --> 00:41:13,221
We're locked on.
817
00:41:13,246 --> 00:41:14,112
Fire!
818
00:41:14,137 --> 00:41:16,879
Belay that order!
819
00:41:16,904 --> 00:41:18,784
Captain, please.
820
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:20,769
I'm trying to save you.
821
00:41:20,794 --> 00:41:22,664
I'm trying to save all of you.
822
00:41:25,387 --> 00:41:27,888
Stand down.
823
00:41:38,402 --> 00:41:40,278
Captain! Incoming!
824
00:41:40,303 --> 00:41:41,423
Warp signatures detected.
825
00:41:41,448 --> 00:41:43,119
Is it Starfleet?
826
00:41:51,104 --> 00:41:51,979
No.
827
00:41:52,553 --> 00:41:54,209
Those ships are Klingon.
828
00:42:06,828 --> 00:42:10,828
