Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:24,661 --> 00:00:27,464
Previously on
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds...
2
00:00:27,499 --> 00:00:29,136
Send someone else.
3
00:00:29,171 --> 00:00:30,500
You don't want me in command of that ship.
4
00:00:30,535 --> 00:00:32,205
-You saw the future.
-I saw my own death.
5
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,668
APRIL: Your first officer doesn't do
6
00:00:33,703 --> 00:00:34,768
down time well, Chris.
7
00:00:34,803 --> 00:00:36,374
-Captain.
-Samuel Kirk.
8
00:00:36,409 --> 00:00:38,508
Well, you're posted
to life sciences, and
9
00:00:38,543 --> 00:00:39,773
he's your new boss.
10
00:00:39,808 --> 00:00:41,511
Captain Pike.
11
00:00:41,546 --> 00:00:43,612
Lieutenant La'An Noonien-Singh. Chief of Security.
12
00:00:43,647 --> 00:00:46,219
PIKE:
Ah, the prodigy. Cadet Uhura?
13
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:48,419
-What's the mission?
-We explore.
14
00:00:48,454 --> 00:00:49,882
We seek out new life
15
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:51,554
and new civilizations.
16
00:00:51,589 --> 00:00:55,129
We boldly go where no one has gone before.
17
00:00:59,201 --> 00:01:01,399
(wind whistling)
18
00:01:04,173 --> 00:01:06,140
(baby fussing in distance)
19
00:01:19,452 --> 00:01:20,748
UHURA: Cadet's log.
20
00:01:20,783 --> 00:01:23,454
Stardate 2912.4.
21
00:01:23,489 --> 00:01:25,423
The Enterprise is surveying the Persephone system,
22
00:01:25,458 --> 00:01:27,425
where the crew is studying the behavior
23
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:30,890
of an ancient comet, C/2260-Quentin.
24
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:33,431
I, however, am doing rotation
25
00:01:33,466 --> 00:01:35,367
in landing party readiness protocols,
26
00:01:35,402 --> 00:01:37,501
which doesn't really involve comets,
27
00:01:37,536 --> 00:01:39,206
ancient or otherwise,
28
00:01:39,241 --> 00:01:40,933
so duties are pretty slow at the moment.
29
00:01:40,968 --> 00:01:44,211
Except, of course, for a recent invitation to dinner
30
00:01:44,246 --> 00:01:46,642
at the captain's cabin,for which I have been encouraged
31
00:01:46,677 --> 00:01:48,347
by Lieutenant Ortegas
32
00:01:48,382 --> 00:01:50,646
to dust off my dress uniform.
33
00:01:50,681 --> 00:01:52,285
(sighs)
34
00:01:54,289 --> 00:01:56,355
You said it was formal.
35
00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:58,192
Actually, what I said was you...
36
00:01:58,227 --> 00:01:59,787
might want to wear
your dress uniform.
37
00:01:59,822 --> 00:02:03,230
Are you kidding? This is
your idea of a practical joke?
38
00:02:03,265 --> 00:02:05,232
Kind of.
39
00:02:05,267 --> 00:02:07,234
I'm going back to change.
40
00:02:07,269 --> 00:02:09,401
You do not want to be late
to the captain's table.
41
00:02:09,436 --> 00:02:10,864
(Uhura sighs)
42
00:02:12,835 --> 00:02:14,802
Relax, Cadet. It's tradition.
43
00:02:14,837 --> 00:02:16,870
-Hazing the newbie?
-All in good fun.
44
00:02:16,905 --> 00:02:19,312
We get bored. It's a small ship.
45
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:20,709
You know, it's really not.
46
00:02:20,744 --> 00:02:22,777
Come on.
47
00:02:22,812 --> 00:02:25,714
Consider it your
first complete square
48
00:02:25,749 --> 00:02:27,353
in Enterprise bingo.
49
00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:28,585
You know about that?
50
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,522
I was a cadet once too, Cadet.
51
00:02:31,557 --> 00:02:33,425
So, what are these things like?
52
00:02:33,460 --> 00:02:35,757
Well, first off, they're
not just the command crew.
53
00:02:35,792 --> 00:02:37,924
Captain wants, you know,
regular people,
54
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:39,827
to hear what's actually
happening on the ship,
55
00:02:39,862 --> 00:02:42,500
so he'll probably
ask you questions.
56
00:02:42,535 --> 00:02:44,403
Great.
57
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:46,801
That a problem?
58
00:02:46,836 --> 00:02:48,473
How do I put this?
59
00:02:48,508 --> 00:02:51,575
My father liked to say
that I was unburdened
60
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:54,677
by conversational boundaries.
61
00:02:54,712 --> 00:02:56,415
So, this'll be fun
for you, then.
62
00:02:57,946 --> 00:02:59,649
(door chimes)
63
00:03:01,752 --> 00:03:03,257
(door whooshes open)
64
00:03:03,292 --> 00:03:04,984
Lieutenant Ortegas,
Cadet Uhura, wel--
65
00:03:05,019 --> 00:03:06,491
(laughs)
66
00:03:06,526 --> 00:03:08,790
Dress uniform, huh?
Grab a drink.
67
00:03:08,825 --> 00:03:10,726
I got to deal with the ribs.
68
00:03:10,761 --> 00:03:11,958
UNA:
Ortegas,
69
00:03:11,993 --> 00:03:14,532
come help refill drinks.
Cadet Uhura,
70
00:03:14,567 --> 00:03:16,435
-good to see you.
-You, too.
71
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:19,273
(music playing quietly)
72
00:03:19,308 --> 00:03:21,000
♪ Feel your eyes burn... ♪
73
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:23,002
(sighs)
74
00:03:23,037 --> 00:03:25,576
(overlapping chatter)
75
00:03:27,349 --> 00:03:29,382
Oh, uh, can I help?
76
00:03:31,782 --> 00:03:33,419
No.
77
00:03:33,454 --> 00:03:36,587
You have offended Hemmer,
our new Chief Engineer.
78
00:03:36,622 --> 00:03:38,688
No offense intended.
79
00:03:38,723 --> 00:03:40,558
I was raised
to offer help to anyone
80
00:03:40,593 --> 00:03:41,955
with a sensory impairment.
81
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:43,363
-If I was...
-That word again.
82
00:03:43,398 --> 00:03:44,364
Sir?
83
00:03:44,399 --> 00:03:46,300
"Impaired."
84
00:03:46,335 --> 00:03:49,468
A human in my condition might
consider themselves impaired.
85
00:03:49,503 --> 00:03:51,866
Hemmer may not be able to see,
but his other senses compensate.
86
00:03:51,901 --> 00:03:53,604
HEMMER:
Compensate?
87
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:55,606
They are superior.
88
00:03:55,641 --> 00:03:58,070
Uh, I've read that,
among many things,
89
00:03:58,105 --> 00:04:00,479
the Aenar have a form
of precognitive ability.
90
00:04:00,514 --> 00:04:03,009
I knew you were
going to ask that.
91
00:04:03,044 --> 00:04:05,517
Because you sensed my question
before I asked it?
92
00:04:05,552 --> 00:04:07,079
Because everyone
always asks that.
93
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:08,718
Right.
94
00:04:11,723 --> 00:04:14,361
HEMMER:
You telegraphed your throw,
telepathically.
95
00:04:14,396 --> 00:04:17,463
As was my intention,
to illustrate.
96
00:04:17,498 --> 00:04:18,794
(chuckles)
97
00:04:19,995 --> 00:04:22,666
This is a hazing thing,
isn't it?
98
00:04:22,701 --> 00:04:24,503
You guys are screwing around.
99
00:04:24,538 --> 00:04:26,670
(speaking Andorian)
100
00:04:28,674 --> 00:04:30,872
(speaking Vulcan)
101
00:04:30,907 --> 00:04:32,742
I think I need a drink.
102
00:04:34,977 --> 00:04:36,878
I like her.
103
00:04:36,913 --> 00:04:38,385
Indeed.
104
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:41,520
So, I have my phaser out,
and, sure enough,
105
00:04:41,555 --> 00:04:43,522
down the street, there's
the Nausicaan we're after.
106
00:04:43,557 --> 00:04:45,590
Running away, no pants on.
107
00:04:45,625 --> 00:04:47,460
(quiet laughter)
108
00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:50,826
I move after him, only I trip,
flat on my face. I shout,
109
00:04:50,861 --> 00:04:53,367
"Freeze!" But the Nausicaan
keeps running.
110
00:04:53,402 --> 00:04:55,028
(laughter)
111
00:04:55,063 --> 00:04:57,063
I try to stand up, but my feet
are caught on something,
112
00:04:57,098 --> 00:04:58,900
and then I realize...
113
00:04:58,935 --> 00:05:01,100
-I've tripped on his pants.
-(laughter)
114
00:05:01,135 --> 00:05:03,608
PIKE:
So, anyway,
115
00:05:03,643 --> 00:05:06,138
after, my lieutenant
pulls me aside and says,
116
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:09,416
"Maybe Security isn't
the best fit for you, Ensign."
117
00:05:09,451 --> 00:05:11,110
(loud laughter)
118
00:05:13,015 --> 00:05:15,818
I've never understood
the human inclination
119
00:05:15,853 --> 00:05:18,491
to laugh at others' misfortune.
120
00:05:18,526 --> 00:05:20,394
It feels... impolite.
121
00:05:20,429 --> 00:05:22,528
That's why it's funny.
122
00:05:22,563 --> 00:05:24,992
Because it breaks
a social expectation?
123
00:05:25,027 --> 00:05:26,598
PIKE:
Sometimes, Mr. Spock,
124
00:05:26,633 --> 00:05:29,700
things go so badly
you just have to laugh.
125
00:05:31,803 --> 00:05:33,836
(Uhura humming)
126
00:05:36,203 --> 00:05:37,708
(pouring)
127
00:05:39,712 --> 00:05:41,041
What's that you're humming,
Cadet?
128
00:05:41,076 --> 00:05:44,616
Sorry. Bad habit.
129
00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:50,424
Uh, it's an old folk song
from my village in Kenya.
130
00:05:50,459 --> 00:05:53,592
I've visited Lake Simbi Nyaima
several times.
131
00:05:53,627 --> 00:05:55,759
It is achingly beautiful there.
132
00:05:55,794 --> 00:05:58,828
-I grew up just
a few miles away.
-Really?
133
00:05:58,863 --> 00:06:00,159
You know, the Enterprise
only gets a handful
134
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:01,963
of cadets a year from Starfleet.
135
00:06:01,998 --> 00:06:03,569
You got to be pretty impressive
to make the cut.
136
00:06:03,604 --> 00:06:04,636
Thank you, sir.
137
00:06:04,671 --> 00:06:06,671
I hear you speak 12 languages.
138
00:06:06,706 --> 00:06:08,838
Uh, 37.
139
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:12,039
PIKE:
Okay, wow.
140
00:06:12,074 --> 00:06:16,208
Uh, in Kenya we have
22 native languages.
141
00:06:16,243 --> 00:06:18,584
I found early that,
if I wanted to be understood,
142
00:06:18,619 --> 00:06:20,586
it's best to communicate
in someone's own tongue,
143
00:06:20,621 --> 00:06:23,490
so I learned them.
144
00:06:23,525 --> 00:06:25,492
Easy as that?
145
00:06:25,527 --> 00:06:27,593
For me, sir, yes.
146
00:06:27,628 --> 00:06:29,760
I noticed you're on the next
landing party rotation.
147
00:06:29,795 --> 00:06:31,091
I know it can be confusing
148
00:06:31,126 --> 00:06:32,697
jumping from department
to department.
149
00:06:32,732 --> 00:06:35,062
-Right, Number One?
-That was one time.
150
00:06:35,097 --> 00:06:36,833
(laughter)
151
00:06:36,868 --> 00:06:38,604
I'm sure you've chosen
a specialty you'd like.
152
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,672
Where do you see
yourself in ten y--
153
00:06:41,675 --> 00:06:44,544
Ten years,
where do you see yourself?
154
00:06:44,579 --> 00:06:46,678
UHURA:
Are you asking me what I want
155
00:06:46,713 --> 00:06:48,614
to be when I grow up, Captain?
156
00:06:50,684 --> 00:06:52,244
Sure.
157
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,488
I...
158
00:06:55,986 --> 00:06:58,723
...guess the truth is,
I'm not sure
159
00:06:58,758 --> 00:07:01,154
I'm actually
all that "Starfleet."
160
00:07:05,831 --> 00:07:08,227
That's not something
I've ever heard from a cadet.
161
00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:10,867
You worked pretty hard
to get here.
162
00:07:10,902 --> 00:07:13,166
You beat out, how many,
a thousand applicants?
163
00:07:13,201 --> 00:07:14,970
Several thousand.
164
00:07:15,005 --> 00:07:17,676
PIKE: And now you're not sure
if you want to be here?
165
00:07:17,711 --> 00:07:20,008
I always wanted to study
alien languages.
166
00:07:20,043 --> 00:07:22,043
I have an ear for them.
167
00:07:22,078 --> 00:07:24,111
And a gift for understatement.
168
00:07:24,146 --> 00:07:27,015
I was going to attend
the University in Nairobi.
169
00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:29,182
Both my parents taught there.
170
00:07:29,217 --> 00:07:30,755
Mm-hmm.
171
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:32,757
About a week before
I was due to start,
172
00:07:32,792 --> 00:07:35,023
they were, uh...
173
00:07:35,058 --> 00:07:37,531
killed in a shuttle accident.
174
00:07:37,566 --> 00:07:39,192
My older brother, too.
175
00:07:39,227 --> 00:07:42,800
I'm so sorry.
176
00:07:42,835 --> 00:07:45,803
After, I just...
177
00:07:45,838 --> 00:07:48,135
couldn't go to campus.
178
00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:51,006
Their absence was...
179
00:07:51,041 --> 00:07:52,909
everywhere.
180
00:07:52,944 --> 00:07:54,878
I moved in with my grandmother,
181
00:07:54,913 --> 00:07:57,617
but I just...
182
00:07:57,652 --> 00:07:59,212
didn't feel like I fit
183
00:07:59,247 --> 00:08:01,588
anywhere.
184
00:08:01,623 --> 00:08:04,789
Anyway, she was in Starfleet
when she was young,
185
00:08:04,824 --> 00:08:06,692
and she always
used to talk about it,
186
00:08:06,727 --> 00:08:08,859
and, well, I didn't know
what else to do.
187
00:08:08,894 --> 00:08:11,598
So you ran away to Starfleet?
188
00:08:11,633 --> 00:08:13,930
Yes.
189
00:08:14,999 --> 00:08:18,297
That is an impressive
and heartbreaking story, Cadet.
190
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:21,641
That's me.
191
00:08:21,676 --> 00:08:24,039
Well, Cadet,
I appreciate your honesty,
192
00:08:24,074 --> 00:08:26,173
and I sincerely hope
you discover a place
193
00:08:26,208 --> 00:08:27,812
where you feel you do fit,
194
00:08:27,847 --> 00:08:30,683
wherever that may be.
195
00:08:37,725 --> 00:08:40,187
Guess I kind of blew it
in there, huh?
196
00:08:40,222 --> 00:08:42,090
Not at all, Cadet.
197
00:08:42,125 --> 00:08:44,895
The captain values honesty,
as do I.
198
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:47,601
But...?
199
00:08:47,636 --> 00:08:49,669
But I would say to you
200
00:08:49,704 --> 00:08:52,265
that Starfleet has been
a lifelong dream for many,
201
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:54,641
myself included.
202
00:08:54,676 --> 00:08:57,611
If it is not your path,
you might consider making way
203
00:08:57,646 --> 00:08:59,976
for someone else
who wants to walk it.
204
00:09:06,787 --> 00:09:08,116
(sighs)
205
00:09:08,151 --> 00:09:09,117
UNA: I've seen you ask that cadet
206
00:09:09,152 --> 00:09:11,350
question a hundred times.
207
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:12,956
Tonight it felt different.
208
00:09:12,991 --> 00:09:16,190
Is it because
of what you told me,
209
00:09:16,225 --> 00:09:18,896
about what you saw on Boreth?
210
00:09:18,931 --> 00:09:21,030
Turns out, knowing your future
211
00:09:21,065 --> 00:09:23,395
kind of takes the fun
out of imagining it.
212
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:26,002
Chris, have you
considered that maybe
213
00:09:26,037 --> 00:09:28,202
your fate isn't written?
214
00:09:28,237 --> 00:09:30,677
Dusty Swender.

00:09:30,712 --> 00:09:32,976
T'quiel Dawn. Muliq Al Alcazar.
216
00:09:33,011 --> 00:09:35,374
Yuuto Hoshide. Andrea Lopez.
217
00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:38,146
I could keep going. These are
the kids I save when it happens.
218
00:09:38,181 --> 00:09:41,116
You know their names.
219
00:09:42,955 --> 00:09:46,121
Lately, I've been saying them
over and over again,
220
00:09:46,156 --> 00:09:47,760
like a reminder.
221
00:09:47,795 --> 00:09:50,092
Stay the course,
save their lives.
222
00:09:52,327 --> 00:09:54,668
I refuse to believe
there isn't another way.
223
00:09:54,703 --> 00:09:56,263
(comm chimes)
224
00:09:56,298 --> 00:09:58,001
SPOCK (over comm): Captain Pike to the bridge.
225
00:09:58,036 --> 00:09:59,937
There is a problem with the comet.
226
00:10:11,148 --> 00:10:13,852
SPOCK:
The computer simulation
suggests that,
227
00:10:13,887 --> 00:10:16,283
when the comet strikes
the planet in two days,
228
00:10:16,318 --> 00:10:19,726
there will be no survivors.
229
00:10:19,761 --> 00:10:21,453
Persephone III
is an M-Class world.
230
00:10:21,488 --> 00:10:24,291
Previous surveys suggests
it is home to an intelligent,
231
00:10:24,326 --> 00:10:26,898
pre-warp species that
call themselves the Deleb.
232
00:10:29,034 --> 00:10:31,430
Given their current state
of technological advancement,
233
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:33,069
it is highly unlikely
that they're aware
234
00:10:33,104 --> 00:10:34,708
-of the danger they are in.
-PIKE: Options?
235
00:10:34,743 --> 00:10:38,140
The Deleb can't move the comet,
236
00:10:38,175 --> 00:10:40,813
-so we move it for them?
-Mr. Spock?
237
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:43,981
An ion engine.
To be precise, four,
238
00:10:44,016 --> 00:10:45,213
programmed to fire in sequence
239
00:10:45,248 --> 00:10:46,379
to account
for the comet's rotation.
240
00:10:46,414 --> 00:10:48,821
Got it. Number One, thoughts?
241
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:50,350
It could work.
242
00:10:50,385 --> 00:10:53,859
We could use photon torpedoes
as launch vehicles.
243
00:10:53,894 --> 00:10:55,993
Take about an hour
for the retrofit.
244
00:10:56,028 --> 00:10:57,929
A rosy assessment,
considering I'll be the one
245
00:10:57,964 --> 00:10:59,491
doing the retrofitting.
246
00:10:59,526 --> 00:11:01,064
Let's get it done, people.
247
00:11:01,099 --> 00:11:02,835
We've got a planet to save
before breakfast.
248
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,266
I love this job.
249
00:11:22,153 --> 00:11:24,153
Anyone want to tell me
how a comet
250
00:11:24,188 --> 00:11:26,452
puts up a force field?
251
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,833
PIKE: Space.
252
00:11:34,836 --> 00:11:37,166
The final frontier.
253
00:11:39,137 --> 00:11:42,974
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.

Its five-year mission:
255
00:11:46,848 --> 00:11:50,014
to explore strange new worlds...
256
00:11:51,985 --> 00:11:54,381
...to seek out new life
257
00:11:54,416 --> 00:11:58,088
and new civilizations,
258
00:11:58,123 --> 00:12:02,158

If there's life on the comet,
we can't find it.
264
00:13:26,178 --> 00:13:28,244
But we did find...
265
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:29,883
a structure.
266
00:13:29,918 --> 00:13:32,985
It's enormous
and mostly subterranean.
267
00:13:33,020 --> 00:13:35,152
A structure suggests
alien intelligence.
268
00:13:35,187 --> 00:13:37,253
Which is why I've asked Sam Kirk
of Xenoanthropology here
269
00:13:37,288 --> 00:13:39,420
to join us. So, let's start
with the obvious.
270
00:13:39,455 --> 00:13:42,225
It looks like a comet,
has shields like a starship,
271
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:44,491
and a building on its surface
like a planet,
272
00:13:44,526 --> 00:13:45,998
but no life signs.
273
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:47,560
Maybe it's not a comet at all,
274
00:13:47,595 --> 00:13:51,333
but some kind of
derelict spacecraft?
275
00:13:51,368 --> 00:13:53,533
Okay, so how do we
shut down its shields?
276
00:13:53,568 --> 00:13:56,239
Logic suggests this structure is
likely where we'll have to go.
277
00:13:56,274 --> 00:13:58,912
Except it's got shields.
278
00:13:58,947 --> 00:14:00,144
The shields are not constant.
279
00:14:00,179 --> 00:14:02,080
They only appear
in response to a threat.
280
00:14:02,115 --> 00:14:03,444
It should be possible
to beam to the surface
281
00:14:03,479 --> 00:14:04,984
without triggering them.
282
00:14:05,019 --> 00:14:07,052
Sam, are you aware
of any civilization
283
00:14:07,087 --> 00:14:08,416
that developed
on the surface of a comet?
284
00:14:08,451 --> 00:14:10,616
First I've heard of one.
285
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,894
I'm starting
to like the mustache.
286
00:14:15,458 --> 00:14:17,260
Maybe you should
try one for yourself.
287
00:14:17,295 --> 00:14:19,460
La'An, you, Spock,
288
00:14:19,495 --> 00:14:21,429
and Sam get suited up, and
289
00:14:21,464 --> 00:14:23,332
this is the cadet's
first away mission.
290
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:25,697
You wanted to learn
to speak alien languages...
291
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:28,436
go where the aliens are.
292
00:14:30,473 --> 00:14:32,374
The surface of the comet
is bombarded
293
00:14:32,409 --> 00:14:35,575
by ridiculously high levels
of cosmic rays.
294
00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:37,313
This will buy you two hours.
295
00:14:37,348 --> 00:14:39,480
Any more and your insides
will turn to liquid.
296
00:14:41,154 --> 00:14:42,615
Ow!
297
00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:44,958
Ugh, you could've warned me.
298
00:14:44,993 --> 00:14:46,553
Then you'd know
it was gonna hurt.
299
00:14:46,588 --> 00:14:48,093
You know I've had people
run on me?
300
00:14:55,267 --> 00:14:57,531
Weapon up, people.
301
00:14:57,566 --> 00:14:59,005
Kirk, Uhura,
302
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,468
when you're recovered, with me.
303
00:15:02,208 --> 00:15:04,109
You ready for this?
304
00:15:04,144 --> 00:15:05,638

of managing

Now you're just toying with me.
308
00:15:11,415 --> 00:15:14,284
That was not my intention.
309
00:15:14,319 --> 00:15:16,990
-I've noticed.
-Heads up.
310
00:15:17,025 --> 00:15:18,585
Thank you, Lieutenant.
311
00:15:43,711 --> 00:15:45,216
LA'AN:
Remember, when we arrive,
312
00:15:45,251 --> 00:15:47,449
gravity is a fraction
of Earth normal.
313
00:15:47,484 --> 00:15:50,452
Don't want anyone
flying off into space.

00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:27,867
We ne... ergency beam out.
360
00:19:27,902 --> 00:19:30,771
La'An, your signal's spotty.
We can't quite hear you.
361
00:19:30,806 --> 00:19:33,807
Lieutenant Kirk has been
injured. Beam us out.
362
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:36,777
Having trouble getting a lock.
363
00:19:43,819 --> 00:19:45,324
Clear.
364
00:19:51,057 --> 00:19:52,496
Energizing.
365
00:19:54,995 --> 00:19:56,764
Captain, the force field.
366
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:58,832
It's back up.
367
00:20:01,705 --> 00:20:03,507
(grunts) Signal's being blocked.
368
00:20:03,542 --> 00:20:05,971
I can't get them back.
369
00:20:06,006 --> 00:20:07,511
Clear.
370
00:20:15,554 --> 00:20:17,389
He's stable, for now.
371
00:20:17,424 --> 00:20:19,589
All frequencies are down.
372
00:20:19,624 --> 00:20:21,690
We're cut off from the ship.
373
00:20:24,497 --> 00:20:25,760
We're on our own.
374
00:20:37,873 --> 00:20:40,973
He sustained massive trauma
from electrical shock.
375
00:20:41,008 --> 00:20:42,579
I've sedated him.
376
00:20:42,614 --> 00:20:44,911
Uh, maybe we don't touch
anything else.
377
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:49,784
Just a suggestion.
378
00:20:49,819 --> 00:20:52,490
He will not survive without
prompt medical attention.
379
00:20:52,525 --> 00:20:53,953
(tricorder beeping)
380
00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:56,494
Seems that force field is back.
381
00:20:56,529 --> 00:20:58,760
It appears the comet wishes
to keep us here.
382
00:20:58,795 --> 00:21:00,993
What kind of comet
knows someone's walking on it?
383
00:21:01,028 --> 00:21:02,599
A salient question, Cadet.
384
00:21:02,634 --> 00:21:04,337
One that I am afraid
you may have to answer
385
00:21:04,372 --> 00:21:05,899
in order for us to escape.
386
00:21:05,934 --> 00:21:08,803
Sir, I'm reminding you
this is my first away mission.
387
00:21:08,838 --> 00:21:10,002
SPOCK:
That may be,
388
00:21:10,037 --> 00:21:11,641
but the key to our escape
389
00:21:11,676 --> 00:21:13,412
may well be in these markings
all around us,
390
00:21:13,447 --> 00:21:15,546
and you are the only
linguistics expert here.
391
00:21:25,052 --> 00:21:27,085
♪ ♪
392
00:21:55,951 --> 00:21:58,820
Right now, I need ideas.
393
00:21:58,855 --> 00:21:59,986
We've got a planet
full of people
394
00:22:00,021 --> 00:22:01,658
who will die without our help,
395
00:22:01,693 --> 00:22:03,891
and our crew members
are trapped on that comet.
396
00:22:03,926 --> 00:22:06,124
We need to get through
that force field. How?
397
00:22:07,897 --> 00:22:09,699
Phaser harmonics?
398
00:22:11,604 --> 00:22:13,670
A phaser at a higher frequency
could cause resonance.
399
00:22:13,705 --> 00:22:15,903
The right frequency
could shatter it.
400
00:22:18,875 --> 00:22:21,579
I like this plan. This is a good
plan. Ortegas, bring us around.
401
00:22:35,122 --> 00:22:37,056
How are we doing, Cadet?
402
00:22:37,091 --> 00:22:39,025
At the moment,
403
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:41,731
pretending not to be in
way over my head.
404
00:22:43,603 --> 00:22:45,570
Too honest?
405
00:22:45,605 --> 00:22:48,705
I am a Vulcan.
We are "too honest" by nature.
406
00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:51,939
Your girlfriend
must love that, huh?
407
00:22:53,239 --> 00:22:54,810
Nurse Chapel.
408
00:22:54,845 --> 00:22:56,944
Nurse Chapel
is not my girlfriend.
409
00:22:56,979 --> 00:22:58,979
I know,
410
00:22:59,014 --> 00:23:01,080
but she was flirting with you.
411
00:23:04,492 --> 00:23:07,053
It was a joke. You know, to...
412
00:23:07,088 --> 00:23:10,023
break the tension.
413
00:23:10,058 --> 00:23:13,158
Do you not think this is
an inappropriate time for jokes?
414
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:16,535
It's like the captain said.
415
00:23:16,570 --> 00:23:19,769
"Sometimes things go so badly
416
00:23:19,804 --> 00:23:22,541
you just have to laugh."
417
00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:25,907
I find the best way
to diffuse tension
418
00:23:25,942 --> 00:23:27,975
is to apply rigorous logic.
419
00:23:29,517 --> 00:23:30,945
Okay.
420
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:33,013
That's always an option, too.
421
00:23:49,537 --> 00:23:50,833
Phasers locked
and ready, Captain.
422
00:23:50,868 --> 00:23:52,670
On your command, Number One.
423
00:23:52,705 --> 00:23:54,232
(explosion)
424
00:23:55,741 --> 00:23:58,071
-Incoming weapons fire.
-Damage report?
425
00:23:58,106 --> 00:24:01,811
Minimal damage to port nacelle.
Shields holding at 70%.
426
00:24:01,846 --> 00:24:03,747
Who hit us?
427
00:24:06,686 --> 00:24:08,818
Uh, they did.
428
00:24:22,702 --> 00:24:24,570
Hail them. On screen.
429
00:24:28,906 --> 00:24:31,808
PIKE:
This is Captain Christopher Pike
of the Federation
430
00:24:31,843 --> 00:24:33,546
starship Enterprise.
431
00:24:33,581 --> 00:24:34,877
Who are you and why are you
attacking our vessel?
432
00:24:34,912 --> 00:24:36,945
We are the Shepherds.
433
00:24:38,113 --> 00:24:39,277
Really?
434
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:40,278
That's how
the universal translator
435
00:24:40,313 --> 00:24:41,620
is processing it.
436
00:24:43,151 --> 00:24:46,020
We escort M'hanit.
437
00:24:46,055 --> 00:24:48,022
The comet?
438
00:24:48,057 --> 00:24:50,893
M'hanit is far more than a comet.
439
00:24:50,928 --> 00:24:55,260
M'hanit is one of the ancient arbiters of life.
440
00:24:55,295 --> 00:24:57,163
Okay.
441
00:24:57,198 --> 00:24:58,901
If you tamper with it again,
442
00:24:58,936 --> 00:25:02,707
we will not hesitate to destroy you.
443
00:25:12,752 --> 00:25:14,081
Scan the ship.
444
00:25:14,116 --> 00:25:15,555
What kind of weapons
are we dealing with?
445
00:25:17,922 --> 00:25:20,692
Our intentions were not hostile.
446
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:23,992
M'hanit is on a collision
course with an inhabited planet.
447
00:25:24,027 --> 00:25:26,291
We were simply trying
to divert its trajectory.
448
00:25:26,326 --> 00:25:28,029
Absurd.
449
00:25:28,064 --> 00:25:29,998
Would you adjust the height of the waves
450
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:32,099
or the position of the stars?
451
00:25:32,134 --> 00:25:35,806
M'hanit's course is preordained.
452
00:25:35,841 --> 00:25:37,973
There are millions of people
on that planet.
453
00:25:38,008 --> 00:25:40,712
The impact will kill them all
and likely blow your comet--
454
00:25:40,747 --> 00:25:42,714
Uh...
455
00:25:42,749 --> 00:25:46,652
Blow your M'hanit
into just as many pieces.
456
00:25:46,687 --> 00:25:49,919
SHEPHERD CAPTAIN:
Are you a reasonable man,
Captain?
457
00:25:49,954 --> 00:25:51,855
I-I'd like to think so, yes.
458
00:25:51,890 --> 00:25:54,121
Then please entertain the proposition
459
00:25:54,156 --> 00:25:56,024
that M'hanit is not,
460
00:25:56,059 --> 00:25:58,125
as you continue to call him,
461
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,929
a comet.
462
00:25:59,964 --> 00:26:02,393
It is an instrument,
463
00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:04,395
an ancient arbiter,
464
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:07,640
one of the few remaining in the galaxy.
465
00:26:07,675 --> 00:26:11,072
If it is his will to move, he will move.
466
00:26:11,107 --> 00:26:13,239
If it is his will to bring life,
467
00:26:13,274 --> 00:26:15,307
he will bring life.
468
00:26:15,342 --> 00:26:17,111
If M'hanit wills
469
00:26:17,146 --> 00:26:20,411
the planet to die, even chooses to die with it,
470
00:26:20,446 --> 00:26:23,282
then that is what will happen.
471
00:26:23,317 --> 00:26:26,219
As I said, it is preordained.
472
00:26:26,254 --> 00:26:28,694
Blowing up a planet full
of people is not preordained...
473
00:26:28,729 --> 00:26:31,763
You said you were a reasonable man, Captain.
474
00:26:31,798 --> 00:26:34,766
So how can you know? Since before
475
00:26:34,801 --> 00:26:37,703
our distant ancestors touched the sky and the stars beyond,
476
00:26:37,738 --> 00:26:39,903
my people have been charged
477
00:26:39,938 --> 00:26:42,070
with the protection of the arbiters.
478
00:26:42,105 --> 00:26:45,678
None of us even remember when the charge first came to us,
479
00:26:45,713 --> 00:26:47,680
but we accepted the mantle
480
00:26:47,715 --> 00:26:49,781
with honor.
481
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:51,684
For centuries,
482
00:26:51,719 --> 00:26:54,379
we have protected the arbiters as they follow courses
483
00:26:54,414 --> 00:26:56,414
set long before our suns
484
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:58,449
first burned in the sky,
485
00:26:58,484 --> 00:27:01,188
bringing life across the galaxy.
486
00:27:01,223 --> 00:27:04,895
It is not our prerogative to interfere, Captain,
487
00:27:04,930 --> 00:27:06,457
nor is it yours.
488
00:27:06,492 --> 00:27:08,063
PIKE:
Please, excuse me.
489
00:27:08,098 --> 00:27:09,900
Pause communications.
490
00:27:09,935 --> 00:27:11,770
Shepherds?
491
00:27:11,805 --> 00:27:13,739
Zealots is more like it.
What did you find?
492
00:27:13,774 --> 00:27:15,235
UNA:
Their systems are
incredibly advanced,
493
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:16,874
their ships faster than ours,
494
00:27:16,909 --> 00:27:18,436
and their weapon systems...
495
00:27:18,471 --> 00:27:20,240
Let's just say we don't
want to piss them off.
496
00:27:21,980 --> 00:27:23,815
How exactly are we
supposed to move the comet
497
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:25,212
without doing that?
498
00:27:25,247 --> 00:27:26,752
We have to buy time
for the landing party
499
00:27:26,787 --> 00:27:28,380
to get the force field down.
500
00:27:28,415 --> 00:27:29,414
And hope these Shepherds
don't find out
501
00:27:29,449 --> 00:27:31,119
that they're down there.
502
00:27:31,154 --> 00:27:33,385
I'm guessing they'd be
kind of touchy about that.
503
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:35,156
Ensign, resume communications.
504
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:40,425
You have your sacred duty.
We have ours.
505
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,362
The Federation doesn't interfere
in the development of species,
506
00:27:43,397 --> 00:27:45,364
but we also don't just
let them die.
507
00:27:45,399 --> 00:27:48,499
We don't mean
to disrespect M'hanit.
508
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:51,073
We'd do the same for you
if you were in danger.
509
00:27:51,108 --> 00:27:54,879
You say you don't interfere, that you mean no disrespect,
510
00:27:54,914 --> 00:27:58,377
but your crew has desecrated the temple on his surface.
511
00:27:58,412 --> 00:28:00,984
Guess they know
about the landing party.
512
00:28:03,054 --> 00:28:05,483
-We were simply
trying to ascer...
-Their presence
513
00:28:05,518 --> 00:28:07,155
is blasphemy.
514
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:09,960
M'hanit will be their tomb.
515
00:28:09,995 --> 00:28:12,831
Any further action to rescue them
516
00:28:12,866 --> 00:28:15,229
will be considered an act of war.
517
00:28:16,903 --> 00:28:19,101
Find a way to get through
to the landing party right now.
518
00:28:19,136 --> 00:28:20,806
Break the laws of physics
if you have to.
519
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,920
How is he?
520
00:28:35,955 --> 00:28:39,022
Stable, and holding.
521
00:28:39,057 --> 00:28:40,925
What about you, Cadet?
522
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,027
You gonna get us out of here,
or get us killed?
523
00:28:45,965 --> 00:28:49,032
Right now, I'd say
it's pretty much a toss-up.
524
00:28:51,971 --> 00:28:54,004
(Uhura humming)
525
00:28:56,976 --> 00:29:00,208
Your humming suggests you
may be experiencing distress.
526
00:29:00,243 --> 00:29:01,880
May I remind you
that circumstances
527
00:29:01,915 --> 00:29:03,948
are less dire than they were.
528
00:29:03,983 --> 00:29:06,918
Mr. Kirk identified
one error you can avoid.
529
00:29:06,953 --> 00:29:10,317
By eliminating that option,
he has improved your odds.
530
00:29:12,354 --> 00:29:15,355
Was that actually
your version of a pep talk?
531
00:29:15,390 --> 00:29:18,259
Yes. I've been working on them.
532
00:29:18,294 --> 00:29:20,899
How was it, would you say?
533
00:29:20,934 --> 00:29:24,969
Maybe don't take your foot
off the gas on that one.
534
00:29:25,004 --> 00:29:26,905
Well, you are achieving
your stated objective
535
00:29:26,940 --> 00:29:28,599
of studying alien languages.
536
00:29:28,634 --> 00:29:31,041
Like you said, I'm not even
supposed to be here.
537
00:29:31,076 --> 00:29:32,537
That's not precisely...
538
00:29:32,572 --> 00:29:34,176
You all should be relying
on someone who's prepared.
539
00:29:34,211 --> 00:29:36,343
Someone actually Starfleet,
540
00:29:36,378 --> 00:29:39,181
not someone who's gonna
get us all fried to a crisp.
541
00:29:43,649 --> 00:29:46,254
As this is your
first away mission,
542
00:29:46,289 --> 00:29:48,157
may I assume it is also
the first time
543
00:29:48,192 --> 00:29:49,323
your life has been in danger?
544
00:29:49,358 --> 00:29:51,622
Yes.
545
00:29:51,657 --> 00:29:53,261
Kind of.
546
00:29:55,067 --> 00:29:57,562
No, just yes.
547
00:29:57,597 --> 00:29:59,399
Confrontations
with our mortality
548
00:29:59,434 --> 00:30:03,238
often cause us to see ourselves
as if from the outside.
549
00:30:03,273 --> 00:30:06,274
Such a perspective can be
a unique opportunity.
550
00:30:08,542 --> 00:30:10,575
You did not intend
on being here,
551
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:12,280
but you are here.
552
00:30:12,315 --> 00:30:14,315
Hypotheticals are irrelevant.
553
00:30:14,350 --> 00:30:16,383
Today, you are, quite simply,
554
00:30:16,418 --> 00:30:18,550
the only person for the job.
555
00:30:18,585 --> 00:30:21,157
Will you rise to see it through?
556
00:30:24,063 --> 00:30:26,591
That one was better.
557
00:30:26,626 --> 00:30:28,197
Your pep talk, I mean.
558
00:30:30,465 --> 00:30:32,531
(sighs)
559
00:30:35,140 --> 00:30:36,909
(humming)
560
00:30:38,341 --> 00:30:41,408
(faint echoing resonance)
561
00:30:41,443 --> 00:30:44,147
(continues humming)
562
00:30:44,182 --> 00:30:45,214
Cadet.
563
00:30:47,251 --> 00:30:49,581
The cave seems to be reacting
to your voice.
564
00:30:53,653 --> 00:30:56,225
(humming)
565
00:30:56,260 --> 00:30:58,260
(faint resonance increases)
566
00:31:08,536 --> 00:31:10,470
Music.
567
00:31:10,505 --> 00:31:13,242
It responds to music.
568
00:31:18,711 --> 00:31:20,645
Anything?
569
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,548
Nothing from the landing party,
570
00:31:22,583 --> 00:31:24,451
but I found a possible signal
coming from the comet itself.
571
00:31:24,486 --> 00:31:26,453
What kind of signal?
572
00:31:26,488 --> 00:31:28,521
(melodic tune
playing over speakers)
573
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:39,136
Computer, identify this song.
574
00:31:39,171 --> 00:31:41,732
COMPUTER:"Vamuvamba," a traditional song from Earth,
575
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:44,042
originating in Kenya.
576
00:31:45,507 --> 00:31:47,705
That cannot be a coincidence.
577
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:50,477
-(Uhura vocalizing)
-(cave resonating to match)
578
00:32:04,394 --> 00:32:06,757
Different pitches
elicit different responses.
579
00:32:06,792 --> 00:32:09,397
What's the light show?
Is it good?
580
00:32:09,432 --> 00:32:12,466
The comet's systems seem
to be controlled by music.
581
00:32:12,501 --> 00:32:15,634
Lieutenant Kirk thought
these symbols were a code.
582
00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:18,043
Music is just sound waves,
583
00:32:18,078 --> 00:32:20,210
which can be represented
by numbers.
584
00:32:20,245 --> 00:32:22,245
What if the code is harmonics?
585
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,743
Someone help me out here.
I skipped music class.
586
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:28,218
Harmonics are just the ratios
between frequencies.
587
00:32:28,253 --> 00:32:30,649
Every note vibrates
at a specific frequency.
588
00:32:30,684 --> 00:32:32,222
Double that frequency,
589
00:32:32,257 --> 00:32:34,026
and you get the same pitch
an octave higher.
590
00:32:35,491 --> 00:32:38,558
That's the two in our code.
591
00:32:38,593 --> 00:32:41,033
Triple the frequency,
and you get a perfect fifth.
592
00:32:41,068 --> 00:32:43,365
Five times the frequency
is a major third.
593
00:32:45,732 --> 00:32:47,765
The code is a major chord.
594
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,801
Why would an alien species
write music the way we do?
595
00:32:50,836 --> 00:32:53,672
Musical notes are
easily derived from math.
596
00:32:53,707 --> 00:32:55,641
Vulcans theorize it is
their fundamental nature
597
00:32:55,676 --> 00:32:57,082
which makes them
pleasing to the ear.
598
00:32:59,086 --> 00:33:02,219
Someone match my pitch.
(humming)
599
00:33:04,553 --> 00:33:08,093
Oh... no help here.
I'll break the thing.
600
00:33:11,626 --> 00:33:14,297
(Uhura humming)
601
00:33:14,332 --> 00:33:16,827
(Spock humming same note, lower)
602
00:33:16,862 --> 00:33:20,534
(Uhura hums two notes)
603
00:33:20,569 --> 00:33:23,240
(hums three ascending notes)
604
00:33:25,508 --> 00:33:28,839
Okay, try and follow my lead.
605
00:33:28,874 --> 00:33:31,116
(vocalizing)
606
00:33:34,187 --> 00:33:36,220
(vocalizing)
607
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:45,658

00:33:59,146 --> 00:34:01,806
-(holding note)
-(vocalizing)

-(cave resonates tone sequence)
-(rumbling)
610
00:34:26,371 --> 00:34:28,602
We're definitely getting closer
to resolving the whole genius
611
00:34:28,637 --> 00:34:30,406
or "about to get us
killed" conundrum.
612
00:34:30,441 --> 00:34:33,343
So the right time for genius.
613
00:34:33,378 --> 00:34:35,411
(eerie, dissonant music
resonating)
614
00:34:50,593 --> 00:34:52,560
(music stops)
615
00:34:52,595 --> 00:34:54,694
If we are correct
and the comet communicates
616
00:34:54,729 --> 00:34:56,696
through music,
it would be logical to assume
617
00:34:56,731 --> 00:34:58,599
that it is speaking to us
right now.
618
00:34:58,634 --> 00:35:00,469
Okay.
619
00:35:00,504 --> 00:35:03,868
So, how do we convince it
to lower the force field?
620
00:35:06,312 --> 00:35:08,345
(eerie melody resonating)
621
00:35:12,945 --> 00:35:15,649
Hold on. Let me try something.
622
00:35:17,323 --> 00:35:19,356
(vocalizing eerie melody)
623
00:35:28,862 --> 00:35:30,730
(rumbling)
624
00:35:34,406 --> 00:35:36,703
The comet's force field
just disappeared.
625
00:35:36,738 --> 00:35:39,937
Bridge to Transporter Room,
energize.
626
00:35:39,972 --> 00:35:41,543
We've got them.
627
00:35:47,617 --> 00:35:48,847
Shields up. Red alert.
628
00:35:50,257 --> 00:35:51,520
(alarm blaring)
629
00:35:51,555 --> 00:35:53,456
CHRISTINA:
Captain,
630
00:35:53,491 --> 00:35:55,227
Shepherds are hailing us.
631
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:58,857
Open a channel. On screen.
632
00:35:58,892 --> 00:36:02,696
You continue to interfere.
633
00:36:02,731 --> 00:36:04,665
Well, technically...
634
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,634
-You were warned.
-PIKE: Look,
let's talk about this.
635
00:36:06,669 --> 00:36:08,504
Find some common ground.
636
00:36:11,608 --> 00:36:13,410
I think that went well.
637
00:36:13,445 --> 00:36:14,972
(rumbling)
638
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:16,875
They're launching torpedoes,
Captain.
639
00:36:16,910 --> 00:36:19,482
-I'm reading three inbound.
-We definitely pissed them off.
640
00:36:23,455 --> 00:36:24,718
Brace for impact.
641
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:33,793
(alarm blaring)
642
00:36:33,828 --> 00:36:35,564
Shields at 50%.
643
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,764
-Ortegas, evasive maneuvers.
-On it.
644
00:36:49,547 --> 00:36:51,481
-They are pursuing.
-Return fire?
645
00:36:51,516 --> 00:36:52,614
Negative.
Escape pattern April-Omega 3.
646
00:36:52,649 --> 00:36:55,045
Captain, recommend we withdraw.
647
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,486
-We're already on the run.
-LA'AN: We need
648
00:36:56,521 --> 00:36:57,586
to warp out and regroup.
649
00:36:57,621 --> 00:36:59,588
Facing off with them is suicide.
650
00:36:59,623 --> 00:37:01,018
-We're outgunned here.
-UNA: She's right.
651
00:37:01,053 --> 00:37:03,020
Their ship is too advanced
for us to take on.
652
00:37:03,055 --> 00:37:05,627
-(torpedo strikes)
-Shields at 40%.
-SPOCK: Sir,
653
00:37:05,662 --> 00:37:07,497
when we were on the surface,
I believe the comet
654
00:37:07,532 --> 00:37:09,301
-was trying
to communicate with us.
-PIKE: Right.
655
00:37:09,336 --> 00:37:11,633
The music you recorded. Any idea
what it was trying to say?
656
00:37:11,668 --> 00:37:13,899
I haven't been able to translate
it yet. It might take days.
657
00:37:13,934 --> 00:37:15,439
We have less than one hour
before the comet
658
00:37:15,474 --> 00:37:16,902
will impact Persephone III.
659
00:37:16,937 --> 00:37:19,410
You do a lot of reminding people
of deadlines, sir.
660
00:37:19,445 --> 00:37:22,006
-She does have a point, Spock.
-(torpedo strikes)
661
00:37:22,041 --> 00:37:24,976
Captain, unless we want them
to blow us out of the sky...
662
00:37:25,011 --> 00:37:26,747
Give me phasers.
Target their weapons
663
00:37:26,782 --> 00:37:28,617
and propulsion systems.
We don't want to hurt them.
664
00:37:28,652 --> 00:37:31,950
-(torpedo strikes)
-Wish they felt the same.
665
00:37:31,985 --> 00:37:34,722
-Shields at 25%. Phasers locked.
-PIKE: Ortegas,
666
00:37:34,757 --> 00:37:36,922
bring us around
to bearing 150 mark nine.
667
00:37:36,957 --> 00:37:38,561
Aye, sir.
668
00:37:38,596 --> 00:37:39,991
And...
669
00:37:40,026 --> 00:37:41,564
fire.
670
00:37:45,834 --> 00:37:47,031
Direct hit.
671
00:37:47,066 --> 00:37:48,637
They're pulling away to regroup.
672
00:37:48,672 --> 00:37:50,606
I'd say we have
less than a minute.
673
00:37:50,641 --> 00:37:52,443
We have to save that planet.
674
00:37:52,478 --> 00:37:54,775
We brought down the force field,
so how do we move the comet?
675
00:37:54,810 --> 00:37:55,941
Let's face it,
the crazy space monks
676
00:37:55,976 --> 00:37:57,481
will blow us out of the sky
677
00:37:57,516 --> 00:37:59,483
if we try anything
to move that comet.
678
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:02,948
What if we didn't?
679
00:38:04,721 --> 00:38:07,084
What if the comet moved itself?
680
00:38:14,764 --> 00:38:16,797

Everyone ready?
681
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,932

Maximum impulse.
683
00:38:24,609 --> 00:38:26,103
They're gaining on us.
684
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:27,940
When they get close enough,
they'll take a kill shot.
