1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,428
Previously on
Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,888
Hey, Michael, I was on
my way to the Bajoran exchange
3
00:00:13,972 --> 00:00:15,557
when this guy sitting
next to me...
4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,227
And I think his black box is one
of the ones you're looking for.
5
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:21,688
It's on Hunhau,
Emerald Chain territory.
6
00:00:21,771 --> 00:00:24,232
- I won't be long.
- This was three weeks ago.
7
00:00:24,315 --> 00:00:27,485
If Book found a third black box,
and it shows the same variance,
8
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:29,338
that means the Burn
didn't happen all at once.
9
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:31,239
We have got to get to Hunhau.
10
00:00:31,322 --> 00:00:34,284
- At the moment, we cannot.
- Yes, sir.
11
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:36,178
You're the only person
on this ship who'd say yes
12
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:37,555
to going on
an unsanctioned mission.
13
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:39,080
Are you in or out? Georgiou?
14
00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:41,750
You had me
at "unsanctioned mission."
15
00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:44,586
The spore drive's
new and improved.
16
00:00:44,669 --> 00:00:46,313
I redesigned it so you won't
have to use those shunts.
17
00:00:46,337 --> 00:00:48,089
Little gooey.
18
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:52,802
Commander Burnham left
to pursue a mission of her own,
19
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:54,471
against my direct orders.
20
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:57,432
Sir, you know, Michael is one
of the people that I love
21
00:00:57,515 --> 00:01:00,769
most in this world,
but she made a choice,
22
00:01:00,852 --> 00:01:02,812
and now because of that,
you don't have one.
23
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:04,230
You have to tell the admiral.
24
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:07,358
That is astute, Ensign.
25
00:01:07,442 --> 00:01:08,818
Commander Burnham's mission
26
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,278
was 100% rogue.
27
00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:12,947
Until we solve the mystery
of how the Burn happened,
28
00:01:13,031 --> 00:01:15,325
and why,
I believe the Federation
29
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:19,621
will never be, can never be,
brought back together again.
30
00:01:19,704 --> 00:01:22,290
Well, we'll see what
your intel brings, Commander.
31
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:24,501
I will leave it up to you,
Captain,
32
00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:28,129
to determine the consequences
of her insubordination.
33
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:30,131
As of now,
34
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:32,425
you're relieved of your duty
as my Number One.
35
00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:34,719
You will restrict yourself
36
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:37,889
to chief science officer duties
only.
37
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:47,732
Personal log supplemental.
38
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:51,736
Even after a year
of finding my way alone,
39
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:53,738
I truly believed I could
find a way
40
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:56,157
to fit back into this uniform,
41
00:01:56,241 --> 00:01:58,827
onto this ship.
42
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:01,955
Now I'm not so sure.
43
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:06,501
I've become someone new.
44
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:08,920
Still just as committed
to the Federation,
45
00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:11,047
to my friends...
46
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:15,593
but there's a distance
between us now.
47
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:19,097
I know I'll never be at peace
until I solve the Burn.
48
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:22,267
But I don't know if I can do it
from Discovery.
49
00:02:24,602 --> 00:02:28,439
This may not be my home anymore.
50
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:31,860
And I don't know
what that means.
51
00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:35,196
Or where it will lead me.
52

53
00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:53,381
So, when are we getting
out of here?
54
00:02:53,464 --> 00:02:54,966
You really hate it.
55
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:57,010
"Hate" is a strong word.
56
00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:58,469
But I'm also living
57
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,263
on the shuttle bay
of a Federation starship
58
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:02,640
And no one knows
what to make of me.
59
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:05,810
Let's acknowledge this isn't
a long-term situation.
60
00:03:07,061 --> 00:03:08,396
Where would we go?
61
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:09,731
Space.
62
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:11,441
Hmm. And what about...?
63
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:13,401
- The Burn?
- Yeah.
64
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:16,154
The biggest, most dangerous
cosmic puzzle of all time?
65
00:03:16,237 --> 00:03:18,656
Have you always been this way?
66
00:03:22,702 --> 00:03:25,580
My brother,
67
00:03:25,663 --> 00:03:27,498
he called me on it...
68
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,253
how I take responsibility
for everything.
69
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,964
Sounds like we'd have
gotten on, me and your brother.
70
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,258
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
71
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:40,261
We'd bond over your
endearing messianic complex.
72
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:44,098
Hmm. Says the man who risks his
life to save helpless creatures.
73
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:46,809
- Oh, yeah.
- Mm.
74
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:03,618
Hey.
75
00:04:03,701 --> 00:04:06,120
- Saru, uh...
- Demoted me.
76
00:04:06,204 --> 00:04:07,872
Yeah.
77
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:11,626
Hey, um,
78
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:15,213
you put me in a really horrible
position with Saru,
79
00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:18,508
and with the admiral
when you went off on your own.
80
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:21,135
It would've been so much worse
if I had told you.
81
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:24,889
My choice. Not yours.
82
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,977
I'm sorry, Tilly.
83
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:32,146
This transition has
been difficult for all of us.
84
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:33,690
I had to go.
85
00:04:35,066 --> 00:04:37,235
I had to.
86
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:40,571
The truth is...
87
00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:45,660
I don't know
how I fit in anymore.
88
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:53,751
Uh, one one-millionth
of a microsecond.
89
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:55,712
You were right.
Uh, that was the difference.
90
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:58,089
The USS Yelchin,
the first black box you found.
91
00:04:58,172 --> 00:05:00,174
When the Burn happened,
it lost contact
92
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:04,846
at precisely 8-1-9-8-6
mark 2-7-2-1-3-9.
93
00:05:04,929 --> 00:05:08,558
Now, t-the Gav'Nor, a thousand
light-years away, lost contact
94
00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:11,019
one one-millionth
of a microsecond later.
95
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:12,621
What about the Giacconi?
The data recorder Book found?
96
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:14,355
The computer's
still working on it.
97
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,879
But with three points of data,
we can triangulate and pinpoint
98
00:05:16,941 --> 00:05:19,110
- the source of the Burn.
- In two dimensions, maybe,
99
00:05:19,193 --> 00:05:21,171
but in three-dimensional space,
that still leaves an area
100
00:05:21,195 --> 00:05:23,740
far too large to explore
in several lifetimes,
101
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,533
so we have to narrow it down.
102
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:28,286
Somehow we need
to find more data.
103
00:05:28,369 --> 00:05:29,787
Well, I flagged this...
104
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:34,375
when I was going through
Federation databases.
105
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,377
It's an experiment, SB-19.
106
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:37,962
They spread sensors
107
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:39,523
across dozens of light-years
of subspace.
108
00:05:39,547 --> 00:05:41,299
They had a front-seat view
of the Burn.
109
00:05:41,382 --> 00:05:43,217
SB-19 reported no findings.
110
00:05:43,301 --> 00:05:44,945
So, either the sensors
didn't record anything...
111
00:05:44,969 --> 00:05:46,262
Which isn't likely.
112
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:47,948
Or they didn't make
their results public.
113
00:05:47,972 --> 00:05:49,950
In which case, the admiral
might have access to it.
114
00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:52,393
He's not my biggest fan
right now.
115
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:54,204
This is bigger than you.
And bigger than him...
116
00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:57,023
It's bigger than everybody.
Right?
117
00:06:00,985 --> 00:06:03,613
What if you hadn't made it back?
118
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:07,617
What would I do?
119
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,247
Analysis complete.
120
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:15,625
The Giacconi.
It lost contact
121
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,586
seven one-millionths of
a microsecond after the Yelchin.
122
00:06:19,587 --> 00:06:20,963
That confirms it.
123
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,592
You're telling me
these three ships
124
00:06:24,675 --> 00:06:27,345
were all destroyed by the Burn
at different times.
125
00:06:28,763 --> 00:06:30,973
The difference is in
millionths of a microsecond,
126
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:34,018
but yes, there is a difference.
127
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:36,938
Son of a bitch.
128
00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:40,358
Are you familiar
with an experiment called SB-19?
129
00:06:45,196 --> 00:06:46,322
We can't access it.
130
00:06:46,405 --> 00:06:49,117
Why?
131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,786
It's Ni'Var.
132
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:56,040
You'd know it
by its former name: Vulcan.
133
00:06:57,875 --> 00:07:00,670
Vulcans... the Vulcans
changed their name?
134
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:03,297
Well, it's not just the Vulcans
who live there now.
135
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:04,966
They share the planet
with the Romulans.
136
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:08,803
The Romulans were considered
enemies in our time.
137
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:10,388
And for a long time after.
138
00:07:10,471 --> 00:07:13,850
Until Ambassador Spock
brought them back.
139
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:16,144
You see, history had forgot this
in your time,
140
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:17,645
but the Vulcans and the Romulans
141
00:07:17,728 --> 00:07:20,148
were two tribes
of the same species
142
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:21,858
that went their separate ways.
143
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:25,486
Your brother started the process
of reunifying them.
144
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:27,363
And he succeeded?
145
00:07:27,446 --> 00:07:30,741
It took centuries
after his death, but yes.
146
00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:34,662
But the Vulcans were
always the first to share
147
00:07:34,745 --> 00:07:36,205
their research
with the Federation.
148
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,166
Maybe in the past.
149
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:41,836
But Ni'Var left the Federation
nearly a hundred years ago.
150
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:20,101
Vulcan was one of
the founding members
151
00:09:20,184 --> 00:09:22,270
of the Federation.
152
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:24,855
They would never abandon it.
153
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,607
Must have been the Romulans.
154
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:28,442
No, the Romulans wanted to stay.
155
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:31,362
Even before the Burn,
the Federation
156
00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:32,947
was running out of dilithium.
157
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:34,782
All member planets were ordered
158
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:38,494
to put their best scientists
towards finding a solution.
159
00:09:38,577 --> 00:09:41,372
Ni'Var's contribution...
160
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:43,291
was SB-19,
161
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:46,627
a system to transport starships
thousands of light-years
162
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:49,297
in an instant,
much like your spore drive.
163
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:51,132
What happened?
164
00:09:51,215 --> 00:09:53,134
Well, it was new technology.
165
00:09:53,217 --> 00:09:54,844
Ni'Var scientists felt
166
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:57,471
ultimately that it was
too dangerous, so they
167
00:09:57,555 --> 00:10:00,725
asked permission
to shutter the program.
168
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:02,518
But it was the most promising
169
00:10:02,601 --> 00:10:04,478
dilithium alternative
of the day,
170
00:10:04,562 --> 00:10:06,564
and so the Federation
ordered them to proceed.
171
00:10:06,647 --> 00:10:09,317
They think they caused the Burn?
172
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,651
No.
173
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:13,738
They think we forced them
to cause the Burn.
174
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,158
So they left the Federation
175
00:10:17,241 --> 00:10:20,661
and kept the SB-19 data from us.
176
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:22,496
Sir...
177
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:25,833
we have proof the Burn
had a different origin.
178
00:10:25,916 --> 00:10:27,251
I don't think
any claims of proof
179
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:28,627
are gonna make any difference.
180
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:30,254
They're convinced they're right.
181
00:10:30,338 --> 00:10:33,341
Well, perhaps, then,
this new information
182
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:36,761
would be sufficient to reopen
diplomatic relations.
183
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:38,346
We have to tell them.
184
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:41,432
There must be a way
to get them to listen.
185
00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:45,686
Spock's sister.
186
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:47,080
Sending Commander Burnham
as our representative
187
00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:48,481
might tip the scales.
188
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:50,024
Admiral,
189
00:10:50,107 --> 00:10:51,859
I must inform you,
190
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:53,170
Commander Burnham
was reprimanded
191
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:54,862
for her insubordinate actions
192
00:10:54,945 --> 00:10:57,198
and dismissed
as my first officer.
193
00:10:57,281 --> 00:10:58,281
Insubordinate or not,
194
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,868
she's the only person
who could open that door.
195
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:03,621
- And now with this new
information...
- Sir,
196
00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:06,207
I don't think
I can genuinely represent
197
00:11:06,290 --> 00:11:08,584
the Federation right now.
198
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,379
Find a way.
199
00:11:11,462 --> 00:11:14,131
I'm gonna bring the diplomatic
corps into the loop.
200
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:17,051
I'm gonna send a full report
to Ni'Var, headline:
201
00:11:17,134 --> 00:11:19,637
"Michael Burnham Is Coming."
202
00:11:24,683 --> 00:11:27,812
Listen to me, little brother.
203
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:30,940
This is the last advice
I'll ever be able to give you.
204
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:33,692
There's a whole galaxy
out there,
205
00:11:33,776 --> 00:11:37,363
full of people
who will reach for you.
206
00:11:39,281 --> 00:11:41,283
You have to let them.
207
00:11:44,078 --> 00:11:46,122
Reach for them.
208
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:03,681
Ambassador Spock.
209
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:06,475
Circa stardate 45825.
210
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,144
Coordinates redacted,
211
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:09,979
retrieved
from classified archive,
212
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:13,232
the personal files
of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard.
213
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:17,486
- Play.
- Closed minds have kept
214
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,989
these two worlds apart
for centuries.
215
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:23,159
We can either choose
to live with that enmity,
216
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,368
or seek a way to change it.
217
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:26,662
The union of the Vulcan
and the Romulan
218
00:12:26,745 --> 00:12:31,000
people will not be achieved
by politics or by diplomacy.
219
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,836
But it will be achieved.
220
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,839
Like the first Vulcans,
these people are struggling
221
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:38,924
through a new enlightenment.
222
00:12:39,008 --> 00:12:42,011
And it may take decades
or even centuries
223
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:45,431
for them to reach it,
but they will reach it.
224
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:47,641
And I must help.
225
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:02,573
You know, I never let myself
226
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:06,577
look back to find out
who he became.
227
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:09,205
You guys are
chronic overachievers.
228
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:17,796
How am I gonna do this, Book?
229
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,759
It's possible that a person
who has a...
230
00:13:21,842 --> 00:13:24,053
complex relationship
with the future
231
00:13:24,136 --> 00:13:27,806
is the exact right person
to do this job.
232
00:13:34,021 --> 00:13:36,607
I am sure you have heard...
233
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:39,735
I dismissed Commander Burnham
as my first officer.
234
00:13:39,818 --> 00:13:42,905
Must have been
very difficult for you, sir.
235
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:49,954
I would like you to serve
236
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:53,749
as my acting first officer until
I find a permanent replacement.
237
00:13:53,832 --> 00:13:56,252
Uh, sir, what?
238
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,420
I...
239
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,589
I never completed
the Command Training Program.
240
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,091
- I...
- You traveled through
241
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:06,095
a wormhole 930 years
into the future.
242
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:09,473
I am confident in saying
your experience
243
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:11,475
now exceeds the parameters
244
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,019
designed for
the Command Training Program.
245
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:15,312
Sir, I'm an ensign.
246
00:14:15,396 --> 00:14:17,481
I...
247
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:19,483
I would be
responsible for lives.
248
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:21,277
Part of leadership
249
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,988
is the acknowledgment
that one is suited to it.
250
00:14:24,071 --> 00:14:26,448
Many members of our crew
have struggled
251
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,492
with all that has changed.
252
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:31,954
I have watched you rise
to the occasion.
253
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:34,832
I believe you can
help them rise, as well.
254
00:14:34,915 --> 00:14:38,460
And I believe you will always
put the needs of Starfleet
255
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:42,131
and the Federation
ahead of your own wishes.
256
00:14:42,214 --> 00:14:45,634
Sir, are you asking me
because I'm qualified
257
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:49,179
or because I'm... compliant?
258
00:14:49,263 --> 00:14:51,307
I'm asking
259
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:54,935
because I believe this is in
the best interest of our ship.
260
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,275
Take a day to think about it.
261
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:05,112
Now let us jump to Ni'Var.
262
00:15:10,784 --> 00:15:12,328
Status report, please.
263
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:13,162
Coordinates locked in.
264
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,039
All hands ready
to jump to Ni'Var.
265
00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:17,249
HQ confirms
that Ni'Var is expecting us.
266
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:18,375
Very well.
267
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:21,045
The people of Ni'Var
268
00:15:21,128 --> 00:15:23,589
have not been visited
by a Federation starship
269
00:15:23,672 --> 00:15:24,840
in nearly a century.
270
00:15:24,923 --> 00:15:27,676
Let us remind them who we are
271
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,513
and how important
they are to us.
272
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:32,598
Black Alert.
273
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:04,922
Sir, we are in Lagrange One
for Ni'Var,
274
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:07,758
formerly the planet Vulcan.
275
00:16:07,841 --> 00:16:09,051
Incoming transmission.
276
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:10,719
Open the channel.
277
00:16:18,352 --> 00:16:20,896
I am T'Rina...
278
00:16:20,979 --> 00:16:23,232
president of Ni'Var.
279
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:24,942
Greetings.
280
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:26,777
I am Saru
281
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,237
of the USS Discovery.
282
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,114
The Federation sent word
you were en route
283
00:16:30,197 --> 00:16:32,449
using a unique
propulsion system.
284
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:35,953
I presume that is how you evaded
our long-range sensors?
285
00:16:36,036 --> 00:16:38,414
I assure you, we were
not attempting to evade.
286
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:40,416
Discovery is equipped
with a system
287
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:43,460
that allows us to travel
across the mycelial network.
288
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:45,480
We've been briefed regarding
the special circumstances
289
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,756
of Discovery's crew.
290
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,592
And your special passenger.
291
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:57,683
Greetings, Madam President.
292
00:16:57,766 --> 00:16:59,101
I am Michael Burnham.
293
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,644
Daughter of Sarek.
294
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:02,479
Sister of Spock.
295
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:04,606
It is an honor to greet you.
296
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:06,608
I only wish
Ambassador Spock could see
297
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,986
the fruits of his labor
as you do now.
298
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:11,321
I do believe he would
find it all...
299
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:13,574
fascinating.
300
00:17:14,783 --> 00:17:17,327
I would be pleased
to speak further.
301
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:19,788
But first we must dispense
with the Federation's request
302
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:22,791
for data related to SB-19.
303
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,795
We've found significant
304
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:30,007
new evidence related
to the cause of the Burn.
305
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:31,884
SB-19 can help us with that.
306
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:34,845
SB-19 is an issue
of great cultural
307
00:17:34,928 --> 00:17:37,514
and political sensitivity here.
308
00:17:37,598 --> 00:17:40,309
Our inquiry is entirely
scientific in nature.
309
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:41,672
Even science cannot be separated
310
00:17:41,727 --> 00:17:43,312
from cultural
and political context.
311
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:46,857
There are always implications,
as Spock himself learned.
312
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:49,151
Ni'Var continues to struggle
with the delicate balance
313
00:17:49,234 --> 00:17:50,569
of reunification,
314
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:53,489
which only became more
complicated after the Burn.
315
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,492
Any theory Commander Burnham
is developing could tear open
316
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:59,161
old wounds and we cannot
afford that at this time.
317
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:00,662
Madam President...
318
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:03,832
Permission to access SB-19
is denied.
319
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,376
If you persist in requesting it,
320
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:08,712
I will have to be content
with observing your spore drive
321
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:12,132
in action as you return
to Federation headquarters.
322
00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:19,556
Madam President, do the people
of Ni'Var still honor any
323
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,891
of the old ways?
324
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,060
Specifically in matters
of scientific inquiry?
325
00:18:23,143 --> 00:18:25,062
They do.
326
00:18:25,145 --> 00:18:27,731
Then as a graduate
of the Vulcan Science Academy,
327
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:31,109
I respectfully invoke
the T'Kal-in-ket.
328
00:18:38,116 --> 00:18:40,702
I will convene a Quorum.
329
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:48,919
Commander?
330
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:51,880
The Vulcans have engaged
in T'Kal-in-ket
331
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:54,049
since the time of Surak.
332
00:18:54,132 --> 00:18:56,093
The T'Kal-in-ket is
a philosophical process
333
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:57,719
designed to unearth deep truths.
334
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,888
It's credited
as one of the engines
335
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:02,224
that lead to early Vulcan
scientific advancement.
336
00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:03,600
And once invoked,
337
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:06,061
the request cannot be denied.
338
00:19:06,144 --> 00:19:08,063
So you gave her no choice.
339
00:19:08,146 --> 00:19:10,899
It's the only way we'll have
a chance at that data.
340
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,734
This could help us
solve the Burn.
341
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,404
What is the protocol?
342
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:16,965
I'll have to rigorously
defend my hypothesis
343
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:18,448
before the Science Institute.
344
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:20,951
I assume you are prepared?
345
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:23,829
Of course, sir.
346
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:33,380
Welcome to Discovery.
347
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:44,266
A special chamber has been
prepared for the T'Kal-in-ket.
348
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:48,937
Madam President, uh,
349
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,982
will you permit me to give you
a tour of our vessel?
350
00:19:52,065 --> 00:19:54,318
You can forego
the niceties, Captain.
351
00:19:54,401 --> 00:19:56,320
Your commander has
already diplomatically
352
00:19:56,403 --> 00:19:58,947
forced me into a corner.
353
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,325
Your shalankhkai
will arrive momentarily.
354
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:02,451
My "shalankhkai"?
355
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:04,828
An ancient Romulan designation.
356
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:06,997
Vulcans know it as "sha-set."
357
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,957
Ah, my advocate.
358
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,168
What's new since your time
is that only sisters
359
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:14,338
from the Qowat Milat order
can serve as advocates.
360
00:20:14,421 --> 00:20:17,299
Forgive me, I'm not familiar
with the Qowat Milat.
361
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:20,636
The Qowat Milat are
an ancient Romulan sect
362
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:23,805
that live and die by the precept
of absolute candor.
363
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,141
A necessary outgrowth
of a Romulan culture
364
00:20:26,224 --> 00:20:27,809
that trafficked in secrets.
365
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,729
They were essential in helping
our ancestors trust one another
366
00:20:30,812 --> 00:20:32,814
during the early days
of reunification.
367
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:36,985
Today they enable us to have a
healthy discourse on the planet.
368
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,029
It's an ancient story, isn't it?
369
00:20:39,112 --> 00:20:41,031
My people's fates are
so intertwined,
370
00:20:41,114 --> 00:20:42,550
and they are so similar
in profound ways.
371
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:44,660
Yet they do not trust
each other.
372
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:49,164
I apologize
for forcing your hand.
373
00:20:49,247 --> 00:20:50,749
I meant no disrespect.
374
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:53,168
You are brave.
375
00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:56,171
And technically
a citizen of Ni'Var.
376
00:20:56,254 --> 00:20:57,774
Ultimately, you are
within your rights.
377
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:00,050
But I'm sure you are aware
that a classic tactic
378
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:01,718
during T'Kal-in-ket
379
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:05,389
is to ruthlessly assail the
credibility of the challenger.
380
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:07,683
- I am aware.
- If you are not proved
to be credible,
381
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:09,685
it will be known forever
that Spock's sister
382
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:11,520
returned to us a dissembler.
383
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,122
And that will have real
and grave consequences.
384
00:21:13,146 --> 00:21:14,398
Do you understand?
385
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:15,857
Yes, ma'am.
386
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:17,693
One Qowat Milat sister
387
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:20,070
has taken a particular
interest in your case.
388
00:21:20,153 --> 00:21:22,030
I suspect you may have
a particular interest
389
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:23,281
in her, as well.
390
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:26,827
She'll be transporting in
momentarily.
391
00:21:29,955 --> 00:21:32,040
Be honest.
392
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,793
Especially to yourself.
393
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:03,613
M-Mom?
394
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:05,073
Michael!
395
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:11,163
Oh, I hoped, but I never...
396
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,760
I was informed
your jump to the future
397
00:22:24,843 --> 00:22:28,055
is not widely known
even within Starfleet.
398
00:22:28,138 --> 00:22:30,098
Yeah, the admiral was concerned
399
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:33,268
that it could be polarizing,
given the Temporal Accords.
400
00:22:33,351 --> 00:22:36,605
Yet there was no other way
to explain to you
401
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:38,732
the presence of Spock's sister.
402
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:42,444
I confess I am astonished
at the risk taken by your crew.
403
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:43,779
Duty called.
404
00:22:43,862 --> 00:22:45,781
I'm grateful for your courage.
405
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:49,618
What do you make of this future?
406
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:51,787
Well, I am...
407
00:22:51,870 --> 00:22:53,914
troubled that...
408
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:57,459
the Federation is so reduced.
409
00:22:57,542 --> 00:23:00,462
But I'm heartened
that those who remain
410
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,964
are committed
to its core values.
411
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:05,967
You sound quite certain of that.
412
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:07,302
I have seen their commitment
413
00:23:07,385 --> 00:23:10,430
to member and non-member
worlds alike.
414
00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:14,267
All personnel, Cargo Bay 3...
415
00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:16,770
Forgive me
if I'm overstepping, but...
416
00:23:16,853 --> 00:23:18,647
I know the Federation feels
417
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:21,650
the loss of Ni'Var... keenly.
418
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:23,276
I do hope that our visit
419
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,780
and Commander Burnham's
discussions with the Quorum
420
00:23:26,863 --> 00:23:30,617
will open new channels
of diplomacy.
421
00:23:32,202 --> 00:23:35,163
That would require far more
than one visit, Captain.
422
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,332
There had been numerous issues.
423
00:23:37,415 --> 00:23:40,293
SB-19 was merely the final blow.
424
00:23:40,377 --> 00:23:43,171
Well, I would like
to hear about them...
425
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,257
if I may.
426
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:49,845
Did you ever make it
to Terralysium?
427
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:52,013
No, landed right back
on Essof Four.
428
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:54,141
Wasn't pretty.
429
00:23:55,225 --> 00:23:58,854
Ah, colonists brought me to
the Qowat Milat who healed me.
430
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,356
Seems like you could use
a bit of that yourself.
431
00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:02,858
What makes you say that?
432
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:06,027
Well, you seem...
433
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,029
between places.
434
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,490
This must be some of that
435
00:24:10,574 --> 00:24:12,868
absolute candor
I've heard about.
436
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:15,036
Actually, "between places"
437
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,664
was my gentle way
of saying "lost."
438
00:24:17,747 --> 00:24:19,040
Thought I'd ease you in.
439
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:20,876
I'm not lost.
440
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:23,795
Of course I'm happy to be back.
Um, but...
441
00:24:25,797 --> 00:24:29,384
But you learned to live
442
00:24:29,467 --> 00:24:32,471
and maybe even like
a different kind of life?
443
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:36,183
Yeah.
444
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:39,352
When I landed here,
the sisters helped me
445
00:24:39,436 --> 00:24:43,356
learn how to just be where I am,
446
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,525
however unsettling it may be.
447
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,406
I don't think
I fit in here anymore.
448
00:24:51,489 --> 00:24:55,744
Hmm. And it also sounds like
that terrifies you.
449
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:58,246
Not as much as the T'Kal-in-ket.
450
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,748
Hmm.
451
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:02,250
You bit off a lot this time.
452
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:03,919
But I'm right.
453
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:06,087
I know I'm right about this.
454
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:07,547
The Burn.
455
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,257
And with your help,
456
00:25:09,341 --> 00:25:10,592
we can convince them
457
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:13,595
to give us the SB-19 data.
458
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:16,097
You won't convince them.
459
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:20,101
The sisters of the Qowat Milat
bind themselves to lost causes.
460
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:21,603
And right now,
461
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:23,897
there's no cause
more lost than yours.
462
00:25:23,980 --> 00:25:25,774
No. No, no, no. The whole point
463
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:27,776
of the T'Kal-in-ket
is to hear facts.
464
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:29,444
And to use logic.
465
00:25:29,527 --> 00:25:30,779
They'll see.
466
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:33,114
What they need to see.
467
00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:35,909
Just like the rest of us.
468
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,744
N'Raj is a Romulan elder
469
00:25:37,827 --> 00:25:39,955
who longs
for greater self-governance.
470
00:25:40,038 --> 00:25:43,416
V'Kir is the young leader
of a sect of Vulcan purists.
471
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,126
Shira speaks
for the Romulo-Vulcans
472
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:47,128
who are trying
to forge a new path here.
473
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:50,090
They all have their own truths,
facts and logic
474
00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:51,299
that are vying for air.
475
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,760
Okay, then we appeal to V'Kir.
476
00:25:53,843 --> 00:25:57,389
A Vulcan purist
must at least respond to logic.
477
00:25:59,557 --> 00:26:00,642
I'm here for you.
478
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:02,811
I am your advocate.
479
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:04,813
But I would be betraying
my sacred duty
480
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:06,648
if I didn't tell you the truth.
481
00:26:06,731 --> 00:26:09,484
You're walking in there
with a lot of blind spots.
482
00:26:09,567 --> 00:26:12,112
The scarcity of dilithium
483
00:26:12,195 --> 00:26:14,322
was caused, in part,
by the sheer size
484
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:15,657
of the Federation.
485
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:17,492
To solve that problem,
486
00:26:17,575 --> 00:26:21,788
it stretched member worlds
beyond capacity and comfort.
487
00:26:21,871 --> 00:26:23,665
In its desire to serve the many,
488
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:27,168
the Federation ignored
the needs of the few.
489
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:29,504
Did your ancestors
not coin the phrase
490
00:26:29,587 --> 00:26:32,841
"The needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few"?
491
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:35,844
When the people of Vulcan
welcomed the Romulans home,
492
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:38,513
we were forced to confront
centuries of mistrust
493
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:40,849
and brutality on both sides.
494
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:42,684
Over time and with much effort,
495
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:44,644
we earned the wisdom to know
496
00:26:44,728 --> 00:26:47,856
when to let go
of maxims and proverbs.
497
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:48,982
Of course.
498
00:26:49,065 --> 00:26:51,693
But perhaps the Federation
499
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:55,780
has acquired
a newfound wisdom of its own.
500
00:26:57,115 --> 00:26:59,200
It has been my experience
501
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:02,996
that we learn
our greatest lessons
502
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:05,540
when we pay a heavy price.
503
00:27:05,623 --> 00:27:09,210
You must admit,
the Federation has paid
504
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:11,671
most dearly.
505
00:27:15,633 --> 00:27:17,552
The T'Kal-in-ket is this way.
506
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:50,919
Thank you, Quorum members
507
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:53,922
and Peers N'Raj,
Shira and V'Kir.
508
00:27:54,005 --> 00:27:56,591
Thank you,
Qowat Milat Sister Gabrielle.
509
00:27:56,674 --> 00:28:00,428
Our purpose here
is the excavation of truth
510
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:05,225
tested by the scientific rigors
of logic and fact.
511
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:08,770
So let us begin with the facts.
512
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:11,272
We've already received
and reviewed
513
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:12,500
the data
around your presentation
514
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:14,442
and found it lacking.
515
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:17,278
I move to dismiss
and end this Quorum.
516
00:28:17,362 --> 00:28:20,448
But, Peer V'Kir,
you have not fully heard me out.
517
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,450
In deference
to Ambassador Spock,
518
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:24,619
I prefer not to speak
in such terms to you,
519
00:28:24,702 --> 00:28:27,789
but I will point out
the puerility in your findings.
520
00:28:27,872 --> 00:28:30,458
Ni'Var Science Institute
has never disputed
521
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,960
that there's a source
of the Burn.
522
00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:34,129
If that is your new theory,
523
00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:36,631
there is no need
to waste our time.
524
00:28:36,714 --> 00:28:38,633
But you think
that the Burn started here.
525
00:28:38,716 --> 00:28:41,761
I have evidence that shows
that cannot be true.
526
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:44,305
How long has the Federation
had evidence of this?
527
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:46,808
A great deal of suffering
may have been avoided.
528
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:49,310
I uncovered this last bit
of evidence only days ago.
529
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:52,313
Her findings are based
on fractions of microseconds
530
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,817
on the Burn destruction
time stamps of three starships.
531
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:57,652
Across thousands of light-years,
532
00:28:57,735 --> 00:28:59,839
those numbers could have been
skewed for a host of reasons.
533
00:28:59,863 --> 00:29:01,948
We have accounted
for subatomic lensing.
534
00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:04,325
Her minuscule sample size
is inconsequential
535
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,661
compared to what
the Ni'Var Science Institute
536
00:29:06,744 --> 00:29:08,681
- has already collected.
- Then why won't you
share that data?
537
00:29:08,705 --> 00:29:10,832
The data is sensitive in nature.
538
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,835
We cannot risk it falling
into the wrong hands.
539
00:29:13,918 --> 00:29:16,504
We cannot risk
how the Federation may use it.
540
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:17,898
Carrying the weight
of responsibility
541
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:20,300
for the Burn
has created great hardship
542
00:29:20,383 --> 00:29:21,676
for our planet.
543
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:23,636
- If they can prove otherwise...
- Peer N'Raj,
544
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,347
given the unrest
in your own province,
545
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:27,807
how can you dispute
546
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,309
that knowledge
in the wrong hands
547
00:29:29,392 --> 00:29:30,852
is a dangerous thing?
548
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:32,812
And Peer Shira,
549
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:34,355
how many additional resources
550
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:37,317
have the Vulcans spent
quashing insurgencies
551
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,361
in the Romulo-Vulcan regions?
552
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:42,697
We cannot allow further unrest.
553
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:44,866
Peer V'Kir,
my brother would have
554
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:48,703
found it illogical to sacrifice
knowledge to avoid risk.
555
00:29:48,786 --> 00:29:51,039
She invokes her own brother
in an obvious effort
556
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:53,875
to win us to her cause
through emotional appeal.
557
00:29:53,958 --> 00:29:56,044
This is a forum for logic,
Commander Burnham.
558
00:29:56,127 --> 00:29:57,378
If there is even a chance
559
00:29:57,462 --> 00:30:00,340
we aren't responsible
for the Burn,
560
00:30:00,423 --> 00:30:04,511
we must join the investigation
and share our evidence.
561
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:06,679
I would be willing
to consider that.
562
00:30:06,763 --> 00:30:10,058
But... I'm not convinced
of your motives.
563
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:13,520
I want the truth. Nothing more.
564
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:15,355
For whom?
565
00:30:15,438 --> 00:30:18,691
For the Federation or yourself?
566
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:21,903
- For all of us.
- This is immaterial
567
00:30:21,986 --> 00:30:24,405
and beyond the scope
of this debate.
568
00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:26,574
I am the chair of this Quorum,
569
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:28,910
and I move to dismiss.
570
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:31,412
Peer V'Kir
has made a motion to dismiss.
571
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,039
Is there consensus?
572
00:30:33,122 --> 00:30:34,122
There is not.
573
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:36,251
I'll abstain at this time.
574
00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:40,213
Three Quorum members,
three opinions, no consensus.
575
00:30:40,296 --> 00:30:44,551
Let us take a moment to adjourn
to be in our thoughts.
576
00:30:46,636 --> 00:30:47,762
None of these canisters
577
00:30:47,845 --> 00:30:49,264
should be empty.
578
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:51,599
Take them to the storage bay.
Now, please.
579
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:54,769
- Aye, Commander.
- What's that look?
580
00:30:54,852 --> 00:30:56,729
I need to talk to you.
581
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:04,571
Saru asked me to be
his acting first officer.
582
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:12,453
So that would make you
583
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:15,248
my superior officer?
584
00:31:15,331 --> 00:31:17,125
Yeah.
585
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:20,128
Position only. Not in rank.
586
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:22,797
Most of this crew
has more experience
587
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,799
than me, so, like...
588
00:31:24,882 --> 00:31:26,467
So, I guess I'm just,
like, wondering,
589
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:29,262
like, um,
what you would think about...
590
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:33,975
me taking it?
591
00:31:34,058 --> 00:31:36,144
Honestly, the notion
592
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:39,480
of taking orders from you is...
593
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:41,649
deeply, deeply weird.
594
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:45,320
Almost, uh, disturbing.
595
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:47,822
What's your ETA on recalibrating
for the jump back?
596
00:31:47,905 --> 00:31:50,491
Tell Detmer to relax.
I'll be ready.
597
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:51,826
- I need to...
- Yeah, no.
598
00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:53,786
I know. Thank you.
Sorry. Thanks.
599
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:58,291
V'Kir made up his mind
before he set foot on this ship.
600
00:31:58,374 --> 00:32:00,501
He believes
he's protecting his homeworld.
601
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:03,504
Engaging with you means
moving closer to the Federation.
602
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:06,299
He's weighing that, as well.
They all are.
603
00:32:06,382 --> 00:32:08,801
He claims to be a follower
of the teachings of Spock.
604
00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:11,346
That means seeking the truth.
605
00:32:11,429 --> 00:32:13,348
He opened himself up
and spoke the truth.
606
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:15,350
As did I. I'm being truthful.
607
00:32:15,433 --> 00:32:17,018
Not as truthful
as you were with me
608
00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:18,686
about whether or not
you fit here.
609
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:21,648
- That's personal.
- It's relevant.
610
00:32:21,731 --> 00:32:24,359
I thought you were supposed
to be advocating for me.
611
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:25,818
What do you think I am doing?
612
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:27,820
Because it's a lost cause?
Right?
613
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:30,823
They are not the only audience
in the room.
614
00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:33,534
You are Qowat Milat.
615
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,621
And you are my mother.
616
00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:40,041
Tell them that you know me.
617
00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:42,335
Tell them I can be trusted.
618
00:32:42,418 --> 00:32:44,379
I'm sorry.
619
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:46,214
Based on what
you're not telling them,
620
00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:49,509
you cannot be trusted.
621
00:32:56,808 --> 00:33:01,020
The T'Kal-in-ket resumes.
622
00:33:09,987 --> 00:33:12,365
I've...
623
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:20,748
I have presented data that
I believe shows that the Burn
624
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:24,001
was not caused by SB-19.
625
00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:29,382
However, it is true that...
626
00:33:31,342 --> 00:33:33,177
I cannot be sure.
627
00:33:38,015 --> 00:33:41,436
With humility,
I ask for your help.
628
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:43,604
And we are telling you
629
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,231
that the SB-19 data
630
00:33:45,314 --> 00:33:49,277
definitively concludes
that the Burn started here.
631
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,779
Why don't you believe us?
632
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,406
Commander Burnham,
633
00:33:53,489 --> 00:33:55,908
are you speaking
on behalf of the Federation?
634
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:58,077
Yes. I am.
635
00:33:58,161 --> 00:34:01,748
Then everything you say
must be weighted with that fact.
636
00:34:01,831 --> 00:34:05,418
Ni'Var did not take the decision
to leave the Federation lightly.
637
00:34:05,501 --> 00:34:06,961
You are asking us to trust
638
00:34:07,044 --> 00:34:09,630
that they will not
use our data unwisely,
639
00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:13,092
that they will not resume
the original experiment.
640
00:34:15,052 --> 00:34:16,637
That is a big ask.
641
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,347
I know.
642
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:22,143
But the Federation
can be trusted.
643
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:26,481
She's asking this Quorum to take
644
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:28,149
what she says on faith.
645
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:29,817
She demands trust
646
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:32,445
while her own actions
are cynical.
647
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:36,157
I only seek to share information
648
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,825
that can better
both of our futures.
649
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:41,621
- And we should believe you.
- Yes.
650
00:34:41,704 --> 00:34:43,456
Because you are being honest
when you say
651
00:34:43,539 --> 00:34:45,833
the Federation
has Ni'Var's best intentions
652
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,668
- at heart.
- Yes.
653
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:49,670
But your own story
654
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,839
is completely incongruous
to those assertions.
655
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:54,300
- What?
- Didn't you mutiny
656
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:57,345
against your friend and mentor
Captain Philippa Georgiou
657
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:58,805
at the Battle
of the Binary Stars
658
00:34:58,888 --> 00:35:01,182
so you could deal with
the Klingons as you saw fit?
659
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:02,683
Yes, but they...
660
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:05,019
Didn't she ultimately die
in that battle?
661
00:35:06,896 --> 00:35:08,689
Yes.
662
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,651
Less than 48 hours ago,
you were relieved
663
00:35:11,734 --> 00:35:14,028
of your duty
as first officer again
664
00:35:14,111 --> 00:35:15,988
for disobeying
yet another direct command
665
00:35:16,072 --> 00:35:18,533
from yet another captain.
666
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:20,701
This is who
the Federation sends us
667
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,495
after nearly a century.
668
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:23,871
And just moments ago,
669
00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:26,040
she shared her misgivings
with me
670
00:35:26,123 --> 00:35:28,376
about whether or not
she even belongs here.
671
00:35:28,459 --> 00:35:30,545
- Isn't that true?
- It's not that simple.
672
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:31,712
It is.
673
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:33,548
So, I will ask again.
674
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:35,383
Why does this Quorum,
675
00:35:35,466 --> 00:35:38,678
why does anyone have any reason
676
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:41,764
to trust you or the Federation?
677
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,731
Distinguished peers,
678
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,359
let me speak truth to you
because she is unable to.
679
00:35:53,442 --> 00:35:56,737
She did not have the childhood
I would have wished for her.
680
00:35:56,821 --> 00:35:58,739
I orphaned her.
681
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:02,410
She may have grown up here,
but she was never Vulcan.
682
00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:05,413
She is human
through and through.
683
00:36:05,496 --> 00:36:08,541
And being human,
she is governed by emotion
684
00:36:08,624 --> 00:36:10,543
and a desire
to insinuate herself
685
00:36:10,626 --> 00:36:12,378
into certain matters of import
686
00:36:12,461 --> 00:36:13,880
to fill an emotional void.
687
00:36:13,963 --> 00:36:15,590
I maintain that that void
688
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:17,425
has made her vulnerable
to manipulation
689
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:18,926
at the hands of the Federation.
690
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:20,428
I am not being manipulated.
691
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:22,263
Then you knowingly admit
692
00:36:22,346 --> 00:36:24,658
to letting them exploit the fact
that you're Spock's sister?
693
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:27,101
I would never disrespect
my brother. You know that.
694
00:36:27,184 --> 00:36:29,103
Your methods and motives
are clouded.
695
00:36:29,186 --> 00:36:31,606
Even to yourself.
You demanded this Quorum
696
00:36:31,689 --> 00:36:33,566
without resolving to be honest.
697
00:36:33,649 --> 00:36:36,277
You thought
that I would not fulfill my duty
698
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,071
to draw the truth from you
because I'm your mother.
699
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:42,658
But you're mistaken.
700
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:45,369
Fine.
701
00:36:45,453 --> 00:36:47,455
There are things
I didn't willingly share.
702
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:49,415
But as my Qowat Milat advocate,
703
00:36:49,498 --> 00:36:51,292
I demand
that you confirm the truth.
704
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:53,294
Didn't the Federation
give me a mission
705
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:55,421
- and a purpose?
- Yes.
706
00:36:55,504 --> 00:36:58,466
Didn't the Federation give me
a place and a family?
707
00:36:58,549 --> 00:37:01,302
- Yes.
- Didn't my crew and I
risk our lives
708
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,803
and work together in the past
709
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,972
to save all sentient life
in the universe?
710
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:06,182
That is true.
711
00:37:06,265 --> 00:37:08,309
And isn't it true
that the only reason we are
712
00:37:08,392 --> 00:37:10,144
all sitting here today
713
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:11,508
is because the Federation
gave me
714
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:12,706
and the crew
of the USS Discovery
715
00:37:12,730 --> 00:37:15,441
the resources
and the mandate to solve
716
00:37:15,524 --> 00:37:18,778
the biggest, most troublesome
problems in the galaxy?
717
00:37:18,861 --> 00:37:20,655
Yes.
718
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:22,156
Didn't you see all of us,
719
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,283
imperfect and flawed
as we all are,
720
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:26,661
still live up
to its best ideals?
721
00:37:26,744 --> 00:37:28,996
Yes. I did.
722
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,289
So I may question
723
00:37:30,373 --> 00:37:32,291
and I may fear,
724
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:34,669
because the problems
often seem insurmountable.
725
00:37:34,752 --> 00:37:36,671
But haven't we always risen
to meet them?
726
00:37:36,754 --> 00:37:37,838
Yes.
727
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:38,941
So why don't you believe me
when I say
728
00:37:38,965 --> 00:37:41,008
that it is the greater good
I am fighting for,
729
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:43,511
that I have
always been fighting for?
730
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:46,889
Then why are you struggling with
whether or not you belong here?
731
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:59,443
I don't know.
732
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:04,490
Maybe because the stakes
are so much higher now.
733
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:10,663
Everything is different.
734
00:38:10,746 --> 00:38:14,000
And every day,
there's this fear...
735
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:18,254
this fear
that I'm-I'm doing it wrong.
736
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:21,549
Like I'll...
737
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:24,677
destroy the people I love.
738
00:38:25,594 --> 00:38:29,890
I mean, what if I lose
everything and everyone?
739
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:33,185
After all we've sacrificed.
740
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,731
I know.
741
00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:42,278
Now she speaks truthfully.
742
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,576
I thank you for your candor.
743
00:38:48,659 --> 00:38:50,578
Daughter.
744
00:38:50,661 --> 00:38:52,580
While I appreciate
your sentiments,
745
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:55,583
her candor will not prevent
another Burn.
746
00:38:55,666 --> 00:39:00,046
Our society only wants
stability and peace.
747
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:01,255
Peer V'Kir,
748
00:39:01,338 --> 00:39:02,983
we are to determine
if we're going to share
749
00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:06,552
the SB-19 data based
on scientific evidence.
750
00:39:06,635 --> 00:39:09,764
We are not here to decide
what our society wants.
751
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:11,607
Vulcans will choose
whatever serves them best
752
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:13,434
and insist it is only logical.
753
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:16,270
If the Vulcans won't share the
data, then the Romulans will.
754
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:19,940
My brothers.
755
00:39:20,024 --> 00:39:21,942
Peer N'Raj, this is not the way.
756
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:23,611
What way do you know?
757
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,839
You sit in the middle, trying
to be everything and nothing.
758
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:27,615
Friends.
759
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:32,286
This is not what
my brother would have wanted.
760
00:39:32,369 --> 00:39:35,456
He revealed the connection
between your cultures.
761
00:39:35,539 --> 00:39:37,124
I implore you... don't lose that.
762
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:40,461
Clearly more tenuous
than we had realized.
763
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:43,130
Perhaps it is already lost.
764
00:39:43,214 --> 00:39:44,632
No.
765
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:47,134
No, it is not.
766
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,594
Spock believed that, together,
767
00:39:48,677 --> 00:39:50,489
you could create something
bigger than yourselves.
768
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:52,640
That's what this Quorum is.
769
00:39:52,723 --> 00:39:54,850
That's what Ni'Var is.
770
00:39:58,395 --> 00:40:00,523
That's what the Federation is.
771
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:05,778
You represent the Federation,
772
00:40:05,861 --> 00:40:07,613
yet you invoke Ambassador Spock,
773
00:40:07,696 --> 00:40:09,990
who left it behind.
774
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:11,992
Doesn't mean he didn't love it.
775
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:14,954
And it doesn't mean he wouldn't
have returned someday.
776
00:40:15,037 --> 00:40:18,332
How and if he understood love
777
00:40:18,415 --> 00:40:21,001
is something we can never know.
778
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:23,879
I think I might know.
779
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:33,722
The Burn nearly destroyed
the Federation.
780
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:37,309
I will not add
the peace of Ni'Var
781
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:39,812
to its list of casualties.
782
00:40:45,609 --> 00:40:48,487
I withdraw my request.
783
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:53,576
What about the data you need?
784
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:56,829
I'll keep searching.
785
00:40:56,912 --> 00:40:59,540
And I'll send whatever I find
to the Ni'Var Science Institute.
786
00:40:59,623 --> 00:41:01,542
You can do with it
what you want.
787
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:04,461
I ask you for nothing.
788
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:09,383
But I am giving you my trust.
789
00:41:09,466 --> 00:41:10,968
As a member of Starfleet.
790
00:41:47,796 --> 00:41:49,715
Come in.
791
00:41:56,347 --> 00:41:59,558
I got where
you were going back there,
792
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:01,161
but you could have picked
a better time
793
00:42:01,185 --> 00:42:02,770
to do some parenting.
794
00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:04,855
Is this what you were like
as a 12-year-old?
795
00:42:11,195 --> 00:42:12,947
You know,
the first thing you told me,
796
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:16,033
the first thing
after all this time...
797
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:18,619
was that you didn't know
798
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:21,080
how you fit in
with your family anymore.
799
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:25,584
Michael,
you don't need to choose
800
00:42:25,668 --> 00:42:28,963
between the person you used to
be and the person you are now.
801
00:42:29,046 --> 00:42:30,965
You shouldn't.
802
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:33,968
Duty and joy go hand in hand.
803
00:42:34,051 --> 00:42:35,051
Duty is there
804
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:37,638
so you can continue
to pursue your happiness.
805
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:39,473
And joy is there
806
00:42:39,556 --> 00:42:43,269
so that you have
something real to fight for.
807
00:42:49,858 --> 00:42:51,819
So, what now?
808
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:54,321
I told you
there was another audience.
809
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:57,157
When President T'Rina saw you,
810
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:59,660
when you let her see you...
811
00:43:01,578 --> 00:43:03,664
she decided that trusting you
812
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:06,125
was worth the risk.
813
00:43:13,924 --> 00:43:15,301
And she also said
814
00:43:15,384 --> 00:43:18,304
she wondered
how much of the man Spock became
815
00:43:18,387 --> 00:43:21,432
was the result
of who his sister was.
816
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:44,038
You're staying
on Ni'Var, aren't you?
817
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:46,498
I can't be bound to you.
818
00:43:46,582 --> 00:43:49,043
You're not a lost cause.
819
00:43:51,295 --> 00:43:54,173
But I finally get a chance
to say something to you
820
00:43:54,256 --> 00:43:57,676
that I've wanted to say
for a very long time.
821
00:43:59,970 --> 00:44:03,724
You always know
where to find me.
822
00:44:13,442 --> 00:44:16,111
You wanted to see me?
823
00:44:19,823 --> 00:44:21,742
You told them?
824
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:22,910
Of course I told them.
825
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:24,078
I...
826
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:26,580
I haven't given
an answer yet. I...
827
00:44:26,663 --> 00:44:28,248
Say yes.
828
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:29,416
But I...
829
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:31,877
- Say yes.
- Say yes.
830
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,087
Say yes.
831
00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:34,755
Say yes!
832
00:44:34,838 --> 00:44:36,382
Just say it.
833
00:44:38,133 --> 00:44:39,343
Really?
834
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,599
Why?
835
00:44:45,682 --> 00:44:47,893
Because... we know you.
836
00:44:47,976 --> 00:44:50,104
And, knowing you,
837
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:52,439
we'd all follow you anywhere.
838
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:54,775
Saru made the right choice.
839
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:56,276
Well, I'm...
840
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,112
gonna need all of your help.
841
00:44:58,195 --> 00:44:59,279
Of course.
842
00:44:59,363 --> 00:45:01,115
But, uh, first,
we'd like to present
843
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:03,951
a list of grievances
and requests.
844
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:06,620
I need two weeks' leave
on Earth.
845
00:45:06,703 --> 00:45:08,080
Place called Hawaii.
846
00:45:08,163 --> 00:45:09,957
Yeah, the head in my 'fresher
847
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,417
is leaking, so...
848
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:13,627
I'd like quarters with a window.
849
00:45:13,710 --> 00:45:15,355
I'd like you to assign someone
to help me analyze
850
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:17,631
all this SB-19 data.
851
00:45:17,714 --> 00:45:19,466
No. You got it?
852
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:22,094
Oh! That's amazing!
853
00:45:25,013 --> 00:45:26,932
I really wanted to tell you.
854
00:45:27,015 --> 00:45:28,851
Oh, did I miss
the cool "say yes" part?
855
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:31,812
Sorry I'm late.
856
00:45:31,895 --> 00:45:34,481
I just wanted your blessing.
857
00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:36,775
No, you don't need that.
858
00:45:36,859 --> 00:45:39,445
How can I make it easier?
859
00:45:39,528 --> 00:45:42,197
You lead me.
860
00:45:43,407 --> 00:45:46,118
Wait, you mean
you're not leaving?
861
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,999
I'm here for the duration.
862
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:03,343
Commander Burnham,
863
00:46:03,427 --> 00:46:07,014
I want you to take that data
to the science lab immediately.
864
00:46:07,097 --> 00:46:10,184
You are going to figure out
what caused the Burn
865
00:46:10,267 --> 00:46:12,311
and help to rebuild
the Federation.
866
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:14,104
Yes!
867
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:20,319
We all will.
868
00:46:23,113 --> 00:46:23,989
I'm glad, because I thought
869
00:46:24,072 --> 00:46:25,258
you were going to ask for me
to switch my bed
870
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:26,116
to the other side of the room.
871
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,868
Yeah. No, that's happening.
872
00:46:27,951 --> 00:46:29,870
Oh. Well, whatever you say,
Number One.
873
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:34,374
Thank you, Captain.
874
00:46:34,458 --> 00:46:36,543
This has been...
875
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:39,838
quite different
from what I expected.
876
00:46:44,301 --> 00:46:46,887
That was a compliment.
877
00:46:46,970 --> 00:46:49,389
Ah.
878
00:46:49,473 --> 00:46:51,683
If I may,
879
00:46:51,767 --> 00:46:56,063
I understand the situation
on Ni'Var is complex.
880
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:58,565
Contemplating a future
within the Federation
881
00:46:58,649 --> 00:47:01,735
may be premature at this time.
882
00:47:01,818 --> 00:47:03,737
However,
883
00:47:03,820 --> 00:47:07,074
I would very much appreciate
the opportunity to continue
884
00:47:07,157 --> 00:47:08,909
our conversation.
885
00:47:08,992 --> 00:47:10,869
As would I.
886
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:13,038
In time.
887
00:47:13,121 --> 00:47:15,374
Thank you, Madam President.
888
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:20,879
Live long and prosper,
