Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,575
Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...
2
00:00:12,316 --> 00:00:14,713
Pull up Kwejian on the deep-space array.
3
00:00:14,718 --> 00:00:17,586
- What happened?
- My ship was hit by something.
4
00:00:17,591 --> 00:00:19,024
They're gone.
5
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:21,295
Five light-years across.
6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,285
That's the size
of the gravitational anomaly
7
00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:25,561
that hit Kwejian.
8
00:00:25,566 --> 00:00:26,736
The DMA disappeared.
9
00:00:26,741 --> 00:00:30,304
It reappeared 4.2 seconds later,
10
00:00:30,309 --> 00:00:32,393
1,000 light-years away.
11
00:00:32,398 --> 00:00:34,352
The only logical explanation
12
00:00:34,357 --> 00:00:35,788
is someone created it.
13
00:00:35,793 --> 00:00:37,603
For now, we're classifying
14
00:00:37,608 --> 00:00:41,093
those responsible
as Unknown Species Ten-C.
15
00:00:41,098 --> 00:00:45,058
Thank you, Commander,
for reaching toward me.
16
00:00:45,063 --> 00:00:47,626
- What are those?
- The coordinates.
17
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:50,324
- To Species Ten-C.
- I'm struggling.
18
00:00:50,329 --> 00:00:52,588
The DMA has brought up
a lot of, uh, uncertainty.
19
00:00:52,593 --> 00:00:54,285
You are only human.
20
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:56,953
If you don't find fulfillment
in something other than work,
21
00:00:56,958 --> 00:01:00,378
then you will fail those
in the chair in front of you.
22
00:01:00,383 --> 00:01:01,814
And I designed this.
23
00:01:01,819 --> 00:01:04,900
A weapon capable of destroying the DMA.
24
00:01:04,905 --> 00:01:07,820
A "cascading subspace burst"
sounds a lot like the result
25
00:01:07,825 --> 00:01:09,374
of an isolytic explosion.
26
00:01:09,379 --> 00:01:11,110
My proposal carries some risk,
27
00:01:11,115 --> 00:01:12,956
but not nearly as much as doing nothing.
28
00:01:12,961 --> 00:01:15,436
We need to defend ourselves.
29
00:01:15,441 --> 00:01:17,434
If we make first contact peacefully,
30
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,832
then we can determine
intent before we act.
31
00:01:19,837 --> 00:01:22,642
Introducing the next
generation spore drive.
32
00:01:22,647 --> 00:01:24,741
We have 94 seconds
before they realize it's gone
33
00:01:24,746 --> 00:01:26,770
and figure out I'm the one who took it.
34
00:01:27,497 --> 00:01:28,972
Next part's all you.
35
00:01:28,977 --> 00:01:30,531
Book. No.
36
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:44,509
I need Booker's ship found.
37
00:01:44,514 --> 00:01:46,411
Scramble every available vessel.
38
00:01:46,416 --> 00:01:48,134
Eisenberg class, shuttle, I don't care.
39
00:01:48,139 --> 00:01:50,119
They've stolen classified tech.
40
00:01:50,124 --> 00:01:51,947
Do we have any idea where it is?
41
00:01:51,952 --> 00:01:52,997
Negative, sir. It spore-jumped.
42
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,469
- Any idea where it's headed?
- Not yet, sir.
43
00:01:54,473 --> 00:01:56,173
All available personnel are looking.
44
00:01:56,178 --> 00:01:58,884
Can anyone please tell me,
how the hell did our prototype
45
00:01:58,889 --> 00:02:00,034
get out in the first place?
46
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:02,210
Security requires dual
authorization, does it not?
47
00:02:02,215 --> 00:02:03,837
Yes, sir. It has dual authorization.
48
00:02:03,842 --> 00:02:05,556
Uh, Ruon Tarka entered his code somehow
49
00:02:05,561 --> 00:02:06,910
in conjunction with, uh...
50
00:02:09,408 --> 00:02:11,441
... yours, sir.
51
00:02:12,324 --> 00:02:13,674
Admiral.
52
00:02:16,346 --> 00:02:19,022
I'll ask you both just once.
53
00:02:19,027 --> 00:02:21,764
Did you have any idea this was coming?
54
00:02:21,769 --> 00:02:24,680
- No, Madam President.
- Okay, then,
55
00:02:24,685 --> 00:02:28,635
how did you have no idea it was coming?
56
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,687
Tarka was your guy, Admiral.
57
00:02:31,692 --> 00:02:33,602
Handpicked. You gave him free reign.
58
00:02:33,607 --> 00:02:34,951
Barely any oversight.
59
00:02:34,956 --> 00:02:37,662
And it is one thing to miss the capacity
60
00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:40,191
for criminal misbehavior
in a professional relationship,
61
00:02:40,196 --> 00:02:42,345
but yours was also personal.
62
00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:45,722
I knew Book was struggling,
but he... he gave no indication
63
00:02:45,727 --> 00:02:47,821
that he would do something like this.
64
00:02:48,447 --> 00:02:49,710
Hmm.
65
00:02:51,476 --> 00:02:54,823
That spore drive technology
is the closest we have come
66
00:02:54,828 --> 00:02:57,408
to ending our dilithium dependence.
67
00:02:57,413 --> 00:03:00,345
If word gets out that
the only functional prototype
68
00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:03,893
has been stolen,
it will threaten everything.
69
00:03:03,898 --> 00:03:07,344
Including trust that we have the ability
70
00:03:07,349 --> 00:03:11,596
to pull off this monumental
first contact mission
71
00:03:11,601 --> 00:03:14,555
that you just helped to sell
a few hours ago.
72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,906
That doesn't even take into account
73
00:03:16,911 --> 00:03:19,682
the risk we now run of provoking
74
00:03:19,687 --> 00:03:22,359
a highly advanced species
who are capable
75
00:03:22,364 --> 00:03:25,818
of destroying us all,
if Booker and Tarka succeed.
76
00:03:25,823 --> 00:03:27,307
With all due respect, ma'am,
77
00:03:27,312 --> 00:03:29,301
he's a good man
who's not thinking clearly.
78
00:03:29,306 --> 00:03:32,295
He's grieving, he's-he's dealing
with unimaginable loss.
79
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,898
He thinks he's preventing
another Kwejian.
80
00:03:33,902 --> 00:03:36,556
We are trying to prevent
something even worse.
81
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,563
I can get him to see that
before it's too late.
82
00:03:39,568 --> 00:03:41,600
In order to build an isolytic weapon,
83
00:03:41,605 --> 00:03:43,341
Tarka needs isolynium.
84
00:03:43,346 --> 00:03:45,796
That's a black-market element
that is not easy to track down.
85
00:03:45,801 --> 00:03:47,330
That buys us time to find them.
86
00:03:47,335 --> 00:03:49,367
Discovery's primary repairs are done.
87
00:03:49,372 --> 00:03:50,543
We can leave immediately.
88
00:03:50,548 --> 00:03:52,119
I know you want to help, Captain.
89
00:03:52,123 --> 00:03:53,328
But you're too close to this.
90
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,591
You cannot be involved.
91
00:03:55,596 --> 00:03:58,350
I'm told Intelligence has
identified four vendors
92
00:03:58,355 --> 00:04:00,822
who are believed to
have access to isolynium.
93
00:04:00,827 --> 00:04:02,806
I'm deploying ships to all locations
94
00:04:02,811 --> 00:04:05,696
with orders to detain
Booker and Tarka on sight.
95
00:04:05,701 --> 00:04:08,147
Good. In the meantime, I'd ask
96
00:04:08,152 --> 00:04:11,050
that Discovery gather data
on Species Ten-C.
97
00:04:11,055 --> 00:04:13,617
We have to prepare for a first contact,
98
00:04:13,622 --> 00:04:16,669
provided our rogue associates
don't beat us to it.
99
00:04:17,496 --> 00:04:18,845
I agree.
100
00:04:19,846 --> 00:04:22,191
You have your orders, Captain Burnham.
101
00:04:22,196 --> 00:04:23,415
Dismissed.
102
00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:36,684
So, how'd it feel?
103
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:38,190
The spore drive.
104
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:40,253
The interface. Efficiency.
105
00:04:40,258 --> 00:04:42,951
Hit me. Come on, you're
the first real beta tester.
106
00:04:42,956 --> 00:04:45,575
- It's impressive.
- Oh, come on, now.
107
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:46,999
Specifics.
108
00:04:47,004 --> 00:04:49,375
It works. It'll help us stop the DMA.
109
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:51,033
That's all that matters to me.
110
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,136
Can't fault your honesty.
111
00:04:54,141 --> 00:04:57,357
We're safe for now,
out of scanner range.
112
00:04:57,362 --> 00:04:59,402
How long do you need
to build the weapon?
113
00:04:59,407 --> 00:05:00,726
24 hours should do it.
114
00:05:00,731 --> 00:05:03,237
She's hailing you again.
115
00:05:04,108 --> 00:05:07,320
Yeah. And there's this, too.
116
00:05:09,287 --> 00:05:11,658
Well, it's not the most
flattering picture of me,
117
00:05:11,663 --> 00:05:13,534
but you, you look fantastic.
118
00:05:15,554 --> 00:05:18,378
It's not lost on me, what
you're giving up to do this.
119
00:05:18,383 --> 00:05:21,381
It's worth it, whatever
my sentence turns out to be.
120
00:05:21,386 --> 00:05:22,904
Your sentence?
121
00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:25,411
Once billions of lives are
saved, you'll be a hero.
122
00:05:25,416 --> 00:05:27,592
That's not how the Federation works.
123
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,086
You had half the assembly
eating out of your hand.
124
00:05:31,091 --> 00:05:34,002
- We still lost the vote.
- Rillak's a political animal.
125
00:05:34,007 --> 00:05:35,482
Once the DMA is gone,
126
00:05:35,487 --> 00:05:37,671
she'll face political
pressure to pardon us.
127
00:05:37,676 --> 00:05:39,847
She'll find a way to explain
that, in this case,
128
00:05:39,852 --> 00:05:41,644
the ends justified the means.
129
00:05:41,649 --> 00:05:44,317
Let's just worry about saving
the billions of lives first.
130
00:05:44,322 --> 00:05:46,977
Okay?
131
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,414
Very well.
132
00:05:51,137 --> 00:05:53,265
Once you've secured us some isolynium,
133
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:56,459
- I can finish the third phase of...
- Wait, what?
134
00:05:56,464 --> 00:05:58,984
You made it sound like
you knew exactly how to get it.
135
00:05:58,989 --> 00:06:00,676
I was counting on the Federation's help.
136
00:06:00,681 --> 00:06:02,683
- We don't have that now.
- Unbelievable.
137
00:06:02,688 --> 00:06:04,032
What's the issue here?
138
00:06:04,037 --> 00:06:05,582
I thought couriers could find anything.
139
00:06:05,586 --> 00:06:07,080
Buying something
that's dangerous and rare
140
00:06:07,084 --> 00:06:09,204
is never easy, especially
with Starfleet on our asses.
141
00:06:16,354 --> 00:06:20,092
I know a place that
won't be on their radar.
142
00:06:20,097 --> 00:06:21,789
But it's gonna cost us.
143
00:06:21,794 --> 00:06:24,270
See? That's the spirit.
144
00:06:24,275 --> 00:06:27,104
And don't worry, cost won't be an issue.
145
00:06:37,679 --> 00:06:39,290
Come.
146
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,809
Admiral.
147
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,324
I first met Ruon Tarka
148
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,127
when he was giving a lecture
ten years ago.
149
00:06:55,132 --> 00:06:59,479
One of the most brilliant minds
I've ever encountered.
150
00:06:59,484 --> 00:07:03,709
He had all these ideas
for new propulsion systems
151
00:07:03,714 --> 00:07:05,789
and power sources.
152
00:07:05,794 --> 00:07:08,362
Made it sound like
anything was possible.
153
00:07:10,321 --> 00:07:11,931
And I believed him.
154
00:07:14,455 --> 00:07:16,240
I still do.
155
00:07:17,067 --> 00:07:19,325
I keep asking myself,
156
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:21,022
why would he do this?
157
00:07:21,027 --> 00:07:23,116
What am I missing?
158
00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:27,642
Sir, I wish I had answers.
159
00:07:29,731 --> 00:07:33,692
Maybe Tarka couldn't handle the
council voting down his plan?
160
00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:36,912
He has quite the ego...
161
00:07:38,697 --> 00:07:41,308
... but I don't think that's it.
162
00:07:46,226 --> 00:07:49,055
I just got my family back, Captain.
163
00:07:52,102 --> 00:07:55,274
The thought that I will have
to send them away again,
164
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:59,365
for their protection, because
someone I brought into the fold
165
00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:03,586
might invite a war that
we couldn't possibly win...
166
00:08:03,591 --> 00:08:05,240
We will figure this out.
167
00:08:05,245 --> 00:08:09,649
And I will do everything in my
power to help make things right.
168
00:08:09,654 --> 00:08:12,473
I think we can both agree
that Booker's not foolish enough
169
00:08:12,478 --> 00:08:15,734
to buy isolynium from
any of the known suspects.
170
00:08:17,688 --> 00:08:21,426
Sir, you and President Rillak
were pretty clear.
171
00:08:21,431 --> 00:08:24,690
Yes, and it's very important for
the Federation president and I
172
00:08:24,695 --> 00:08:26,218
to present a united front,
173
00:08:26,223 --> 00:08:29,986
so I would never
publicly contradict her.
174
00:08:29,991 --> 00:08:32,824
But I can take a page
out of her own book
175
00:08:32,829 --> 00:08:37,028
and encourage you,
as one of the most creative
176
00:08:37,033 --> 00:08:39,796
and adept officers in my service,
177
00:08:39,801 --> 00:08:42,669
to do everything you can to stop them
178
00:08:42,674 --> 00:08:45,938
within the parameters
of the mission you were given.
179
00:08:46,808 --> 00:08:50,416
You find a way, Captain Burnham.
180
00:08:50,421 --> 00:08:52,814
That's also an order.
181
00:09:04,918 --> 00:09:12,418
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
182
00:10:32,996 --> 00:10:35,820
Well, the president wants us
to make first contact
183
00:10:35,825 --> 00:10:37,243
sooner rather than later.
184
00:10:37,248 --> 00:10:39,449
What have we found at the coordinates?
185
00:10:39,454 --> 00:10:41,782
Uh, Commander Stamets
was just updating me.
186
00:10:41,787 --> 00:10:45,960
But may I say first,
we support you, Captain.
187
00:10:45,965 --> 00:10:47,135
We all do.
188
00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:48,942
And, uh,
189
00:10:48,947 --> 00:10:50,378
we hope Book's okay.
190
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:52,342
Thank you.
191
00:10:53,930 --> 00:10:55,448
What have we got?
192
00:10:55,453 --> 00:10:57,711
Well, unfortunately, not much.
193
00:10:57,716 --> 00:11:00,105
Data on what lies
beyond the galactic barrier
194
00:11:00,110 --> 00:11:01,676
is extremely limited.
195
00:11:01,681 --> 00:11:03,282
That gap in the center?
196
00:11:03,287 --> 00:11:04,588
Is that where the Ten-C are located?
197
00:11:04,592 --> 00:11:07,460
Well, um, like I said, it's limited.
198
00:11:07,465 --> 00:11:12,739
But the orbit of
the extragalactic stars nearby
199
00:11:12,744 --> 00:11:15,598
indicate a significant
gravitational presence.
200
00:11:15,603 --> 00:11:17,892
There's definitely something there.
201
00:11:17,897 --> 00:11:21,113
To find out what, we'll
need a visual on the area.
202
00:11:21,118 --> 00:11:22,692
Any idea how to do that?
203
00:11:22,697 --> 00:11:25,391
- Zora?
- Yes, Commander Stamets.
204
00:11:25,396 --> 00:11:27,045
I may have something.
205
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:29,364
The sphere data has
records of a civilization
206
00:11:29,369 --> 00:11:31,876
located 30 light-years away
from these coordinates,
207
00:11:31,881 --> 00:11:33,747
just inside the galactic barrier.
208
00:11:33,752 --> 00:11:35,880
The Stilph. They're warp-capable.
209
00:11:35,885 --> 00:11:37,925
So they're advanced enough
and close enough
210
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:39,692
that their standard stellar surveys
211
00:11:39,697 --> 00:11:41,189
should cover the area we need.
212
00:11:41,194 --> 00:11:44,845
Zora, has the Federation ever
crossed paths with the Stilph?
213
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:48,148
No. And no diplomatic relations exist.
214
00:11:48,153 --> 00:11:50,677
But they've dealt with
the Orions in the past.
215
00:11:50,682 --> 00:11:53,593
Mm. Rather complicated intermediaries.
216
00:11:53,598 --> 00:11:56,849
We don't have to go through them.
217
00:11:56,854 --> 00:11:59,642
I know a broker on Porathia.
218
00:11:59,647 --> 00:12:01,340
He has relationships with everyone.
219
00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:02,820
He can get us what we need.
220
00:12:02,825 --> 00:12:04,517
A broker?
221
00:12:04,522 --> 00:12:06,780
He's an old friend.
222
00:12:06,785 --> 00:12:09,391
I will have to make the request myself.
223
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:11,232
Keep combing through
for more data points
224
00:12:11,237 --> 00:12:12,917
- in the meantime.
- Yes, Captain.
225
00:12:12,922 --> 00:12:16,094
I'd be happy to complete
that task myself.
226
00:12:16,099 --> 00:12:20,272
It is perhaps more tedious
than is worthy of your time.
227
00:12:20,277 --> 00:12:24,281
Thank you. Uh, I'd appreciate that.
228
00:12:25,064 --> 00:12:26,805
Mr. Saru?
229
00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:34,000
I'm bringing Commander Owosekun
to verify the surveys.
230
00:12:34,005 --> 00:12:35,364
The Federation isn't exactly welcome
231
00:12:35,368 --> 00:12:37,404
on Porathia, so once we jump there,
232
00:12:37,409 --> 00:12:39,293
Discovery will need
to keep its distance.
233
00:12:39,298 --> 00:12:40,816
We'll take a shuttle down.
234
00:12:40,821 --> 00:12:43,558
Captain, am I correct
in assuming that this broker
235
00:12:43,563 --> 00:12:46,256
is from your courier days
with Mr. Booker?
236
00:12:46,261 --> 00:12:48,345
Yes.
237
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:51,257
And are President Rillak
and Admiral Vance aware
238
00:12:51,262 --> 00:12:54,178
that you are planning to pursue him?
239
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,710
You don't miss much, do you?
240
00:12:57,715 --> 00:12:59,412
Only when sleep-deprived.
241
00:13:01,049 --> 00:13:02,736
Vance unofficially ordered me
242
00:13:02,741 --> 00:13:04,725
to kill two birds with one stone.
243
00:13:04,730 --> 00:13:06,858
And I believe this broker
244
00:13:06,863 --> 00:13:09,182
is where Book will go
to get the isolynium.
245
00:13:09,187 --> 00:13:10,270
I see.
246
00:13:10,275 --> 00:13:12,794
You think I'm too close to this?
247
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:16,650
I believe there is no one else
who could possibly convince
248
00:13:16,655 --> 00:13:18,496
Mr. Booker to correct his path,
249
00:13:18,501 --> 00:13:23,023
but I do not envy your position
should he refuse.
250
00:13:24,681 --> 00:13:26,983
I'll be back as soon as I can.
251
00:13:26,988 --> 00:13:30,160
Uh, be safe, Captain.
252
00:13:30,165 --> 00:13:31,726
Above all.
253
00:13:44,222 --> 00:13:47,699
Welcome to Haz Mazaro's Karma Barge.
254
00:13:47,704 --> 00:13:49,701
We're gonna need to make this fast.
255
00:13:49,706 --> 00:13:51,185
Not what I was expecting
256
00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:53,010
when you said we'd find isolynium here.
257
00:13:53,014 --> 00:13:55,315
There's nothing Haz won't
take bets on in the front
258
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,838
or sell in the back.
259
00:13:56,843 --> 00:13:59,363
He'll have it. Or know someone who does.
260
00:13:59,368 --> 00:14:01,391
Charming place.
261
00:14:01,396 --> 00:14:02,740
I should probably mention
262
00:14:02,745 --> 00:14:04,898
that we didn't part
on the greatest of terms.
263
00:14:04,903 --> 00:14:06,726
Do I need to know the particulars?
264
00:14:06,731 --> 00:14:08,859
Only that it was something
I did on my own.
265
00:14:08,864 --> 00:14:10,374
Hopefully he's forgotten,
266
00:14:10,379 --> 00:14:13,159
'cause it doesn't look
like a good day to be here.
267
00:14:13,164 --> 00:14:15,648
Empty out your pockets.
Show me your hands.
268
00:14:15,653 --> 00:14:16,902
Nothing. See?
269
00:14:16,907 --> 00:14:20,105
Always wondered where Emerald
Chain dimwits went to die.
270
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:23,996
Listen, Haz is fun until he's not.
271
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:25,911
So let me do the talking.
272
00:14:25,916 --> 00:14:28,131
Think of me as a shadow.
273
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:34,920
Haz know you?
274
00:14:34,925 --> 00:14:37,749
Tell him it's Glow-Worm.
275
00:14:37,754 --> 00:14:40,360
Glow-Worm? Hmm.
276
00:14:40,365 --> 00:14:42,280
Glow-Worm!
277
00:14:47,289 --> 00:14:49,152
A swamp cat could've
learned the Hortan Hustle
278
00:14:49,157 --> 00:14:50,370
since I last saw you.
279
00:14:50,375 --> 00:14:51,845
Seems like good terms to me.
280
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,243
Your timing's perfect.
281
00:14:53,248 --> 00:14:55,619
I'm having a special on Devore scanners
282
00:14:55,624 --> 00:14:57,752
and modified scan deflectors.
283
00:15:00,411 --> 00:15:02,147
Who's Mr. Personality?
284
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:03,757
My shadow.
285
00:15:03,762 --> 00:15:06,020
- Where's Michael?
- Not here, obviously.
286
00:15:06,025 --> 00:15:08,545
Come on, tell your buddy Haz.
What's the what with you two?
287
00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:10,372
Still none of your business.
288
00:15:10,377 --> 00:15:12,505
Look, I'm here for
something important, okay?
289
00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:14,551
This Devore scanner couldn't pick out
290
00:15:14,556 --> 00:15:17,597
a Betazoid standing
all alone in a Nieser cage.
291
00:15:17,602 --> 00:15:18,925
Apologies for my associate.
292
00:15:18,930 --> 00:15:22,798
His filter was taken from him
by cognition pirates. Very sad.
293
00:15:23,303 --> 00:15:25,605
I'm here for isolynium.
294
00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:28,086
Heavy stuff.
295
00:15:28,091 --> 00:15:30,681
Why, exactly, do you need it?
296
00:15:36,674 --> 00:15:38,175
Chatty as always, I see.
297
00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:40,072
Not that I mind. Each to his own,
298
00:15:40,077 --> 00:15:42,849
- her own, their own, all the things.
- Hmm.
299
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:45,230
I do happen to have access.
300
00:15:45,235 --> 00:15:47,232
But it'll cost you more than that.
301
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:48,885
We need proof it's pure.
302
00:15:48,890 --> 00:15:52,237
Not the usual stuff cut with sammonium.
303
00:15:52,242 --> 00:15:55,240
Pay first, inspect later.
304
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:56,942
Shadow.
305
00:16:07,213 --> 00:16:08,557
Take it all.
306
00:16:08,562 --> 00:16:11,412
- We have a deal?
- I'll take your latinum,
307
00:16:11,417 --> 00:16:12,544
but we don't have a deal.
308
00:16:12,549 --> 00:16:14,302
Old score to settle.
309
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:15,930
Or did you forget?
310
00:16:15,935 --> 00:16:18,045
Course not. But it wasn't on me.
311
00:16:18,050 --> 00:16:20,190
I warned Ertel to stop
delivering Tranceworms.
312
00:16:20,195 --> 00:16:21,266
It was dangerous business.
313
00:16:21,271 --> 00:16:23,224
It wasn't, until you stole his cargo
314
00:16:23,229 --> 00:16:26,488
and he spent six months
trying to get back his losses.
315
00:16:26,493 --> 00:16:29,622
Cost me my best customer
in the meantime.
316
00:16:29,627 --> 00:16:31,646
I'd say that about covers it.
317
00:16:33,805 --> 00:16:36,289
We need the isolynium, Haz.
318
00:16:36,294 --> 00:16:39,337
Weren't you listening?
I said not without more latinum.
319
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,635
It'll take a few days.
320
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,419
We don't have a few days.
321
00:16:44,424 --> 00:16:45,899
Sorry, Glow-Worm.
322
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:49,424
Nice seeing you, though.
Give Michael a hug for me.
323
00:16:49,429 --> 00:16:52,775
Haz. Haz, wait, wait. Wait!
324
00:16:52,780 --> 00:16:54,501
Your guys out there,
they're looking for crooks
325
00:16:54,505 --> 00:16:55,805
or card counters, right?
326
00:16:57,929 --> 00:16:59,752
Detection tech hasn't worked.
327
00:16:59,757 --> 00:17:02,494
I can't even tell you
how many are in the ring.
328
00:17:02,499 --> 00:17:05,758
So you got nothing to lose
by letting us try.
329
00:17:05,763 --> 00:17:08,804
You keep the latinum,
we get the isolynium.
330
00:17:08,809 --> 00:17:10,376
Win-win.
331
00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:13,418
You got yourself a deal.
332
00:17:13,423 --> 00:17:17,422
But jab a brussel fly, and
I'll scoot some greenbread.
333
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:18,776
Clear?
334
00:17:19,577 --> 00:17:21,469
Crystal.
335
00:17:21,474 --> 00:17:23,902
The casino is a dead zone by design,
336
00:17:23,907 --> 00:17:26,252
so all of our weapons, tech and comms
337
00:17:26,257 --> 00:17:27,562
have to be checked at the door.
338
00:17:27,567 --> 00:17:30,322
The Federation has
no authority on Porathia,
339
00:17:30,327 --> 00:17:31,740
so we'll be on our own.
340
00:17:31,745 --> 00:17:33,681
And there may be a few surprises.
341
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:35,836
I-I'm not sure.
342
00:17:36,620 --> 00:17:38,622
Any questions?
343
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:41,538
Just one.
344
00:17:42,756 --> 00:17:44,836
You can verify stellar surveys yourself.
345
00:17:44,841 --> 00:17:46,873
Why bring me?
346
00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:54,154
Saru told me what happened
at the subspace rift.
347
00:17:54,159 --> 00:17:56,239
How you didn't want to stand
down when he told you to.
348
00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:58,550
I was totally out of bounds.
I-I apologized to him.
349
00:17:58,555 --> 00:18:00,247
I know.
350
00:18:00,252 --> 00:18:03,468
But I also know how it feels
351
00:18:03,473 --> 00:18:07,167
to want to do something. Anything.
352
00:18:07,172 --> 00:18:09,479
And how it feels when you can't.
353
00:18:10,305 --> 00:18:12,351
Thank you.
354
00:18:39,509 --> 00:18:41,376
Just wait for it.
355
00:18:48,866 --> 00:18:51,434
We're here.
356
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:55,699
"Karma barge"?
357
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:11,889
- Friendly bunch.
- Always.
358
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:17,634
Watch yourselves, Starfleet.
359
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:20,583
Oh, we're good. Don't worry.
360
00:19:20,588 --> 00:19:23,643
I heard we had Starfleet guests,
so I just had to scurry
361
00:19:23,648 --> 00:19:25,419
like a spider cow to welcome you.
362
00:19:25,424 --> 00:19:27,900
Right Hook?
363
00:19:27,905 --> 00:19:30,598
Starfleet Captain Right Hook?
364
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:32,078
Tale for another time.
365
00:19:32,083 --> 00:19:34,293
This is Lieutenant Commander Owosekun.
366
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,865
This is Haz Mazaro.
367
00:19:36,766 --> 00:19:39,677
I feel like I'm in a time warp today.
368
00:19:39,682 --> 00:19:43,245
So, uh, are you here
as part of Starfleet?
369
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,243
Or are we still friends?
370
00:19:45,248 --> 00:19:47,163
Both. Both.
371
00:19:47,974 --> 00:19:50,580
Here to buy some
extragalactic stellar surveys
372
00:19:50,585 --> 00:19:52,495
from a civilization called the Stilph.
373
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,155
They've had some run-ins
with the Orions.
374
00:19:56,286 --> 00:19:58,941
I may know an Orion or two.
375
00:20:01,988 --> 00:20:05,421
But why would you want
pictures of stars?
376
00:20:05,426 --> 00:20:06,813
Stars are pretty.
377
00:20:08,995 --> 00:20:11,688
Everyone is so secretive nowadays.
378
00:20:11,693 --> 00:20:15,257
I have missed you like a
Cardassian misses cake.
379
00:20:15,262 --> 00:20:18,303
Unfortunately, that won't be enough.
380
00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:19,696
Ah.
381
00:20:19,701 --> 00:20:22,264
And yet she remembers
the way to his heart.
382
00:20:22,269 --> 00:20:24,483
It's true what the Elasians say.
383
00:20:24,488 --> 00:20:27,504
Give a man a tor-bak, and
you are warm in the desert.
384
00:20:27,509 --> 00:20:28,897
Anything else you need,
385
00:20:28,902 --> 00:20:31,856
- it's yours.
- How about isolynium?
386
00:20:31,861 --> 00:20:33,776
The plot thickens.
387
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:37,018
You said anything else I need.
388
00:20:37,023 --> 00:20:39,368
Should be enough latinum to cover it.
389
00:20:39,373 --> 00:20:42,806
Sadly, the price goes up
with multiple bidders,
390
00:20:42,811 --> 00:20:44,374
and there's already
someone else in play.
391
00:20:44,378 --> 00:20:46,114
But perhaps you knew that.
392
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,486
- Is the other bidder here now?
- He might be
393
00:20:48,491 --> 00:20:50,798
sniffing out some vermin for me.
394
00:20:51,925 --> 00:20:54,444
Which gives you two lovelies
a chance to hit
395
00:20:54,449 --> 00:20:56,663
the tables. See if you can
at least double that.
396
00:20:56,668 --> 00:20:58,675
I'll get your star charts.
397
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,806
Open 'em up.
398
00:21:00,611 --> 00:21:02,478
Let's get some tables going in here
399
00:21:02,483 --> 00:21:05,220
- while I'm out.
- A new room is now open!
400
00:21:05,225 --> 00:21:08,571
It's Book, isn't it? The other bidder.
401
00:21:08,576 --> 00:21:11,530
I had a hunch, but I wasn't certain.
402
00:21:11,535 --> 00:21:14,277
- If you want to wait in the shuttle...
- No.
403
00:21:15,061 --> 00:21:16,666
I'm in.
404
00:21:16,671 --> 00:21:18,499
All the way.
405
00:21:19,848 --> 00:21:21,410
And, for what it's worth,
406
00:21:21,415 --> 00:21:24,157
there's no way you could
have seen this coming.
407
00:21:25,506 --> 00:21:27,548
Thank you, Owo.
408
00:21:29,075 --> 00:21:32,121
All right. Let's do this.
409
00:21:36,444 --> 00:21:38,689
Haz said his detection tech
couldn't find the cheaters.
410
00:21:38,694 --> 00:21:40,186
What makes you think that thing will?
411
00:21:40,191 --> 00:21:41,971
Given the obsolete kernel patches
412
00:21:41,976 --> 00:21:43,521
on the translators he was hawking,
413
00:21:43,526 --> 00:21:46,163
I wouldn't put any faith
in Mr. Mazaro's judgment
414
00:21:46,168 --> 00:21:49,383
of what technology can or cannot do.
415
00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:51,564
Lots of possible cheats in here.
416
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,067
Pickpockets.
417
00:21:54,072 --> 00:21:55,987
Card counters.
418
00:21:57,753 --> 00:21:59,190
And that guy.
419
00:21:59,973 --> 00:22:02,149
Check out his eyes.
420
00:22:04,412 --> 00:22:05,457
Where?
421
00:22:07,894 --> 00:22:10,078
I lost them. Their eyes
were locked on the deck,
422
00:22:10,083 --> 00:22:12,154
and they had this
rhythmic blink, like a signal.
423
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:14,026
Maybe it's how they communicate.
424
00:22:14,031 --> 00:22:16,023
Good. That's good.
425
00:22:16,028 --> 00:22:18,052
- I'll be back.
- Hey. What?
426
00:22:22,517 --> 00:22:24,389
We need to talk.
427
00:22:29,059 --> 00:22:30,664
How did you find me?
428
00:22:30,669 --> 00:22:33,045
You really need to ask?
429
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:34,785
You shouldn't be here.
430
00:22:34,790 --> 00:22:36,309
Neither should you.
431
00:22:36,314 --> 00:22:39,573
Whatever Tarka did or said
to sell you on this
432
00:22:39,578 --> 00:22:40,966
doesn't matter now.
433
00:22:40,971 --> 00:22:43,147
Just come back while you still can.
434
00:22:44,074 --> 00:22:46,158
If you take the isolynium off the market
435
00:22:46,163 --> 00:22:47,829
and out of Tarka's hands,
436
00:22:47,834 --> 00:22:49,709
you could earn some grace
with the Federation.
437
00:22:49,714 --> 00:22:51,977
They'll understand how
you got pulled into this.
438
00:22:51,982 --> 00:22:53,979
I wasn't pulled into anything.
439
00:22:53,984 --> 00:22:57,248
Tarka and I came to this together, okay?
440
00:22:59,857 --> 00:23:01,955
- You broke a half dozen laws.
- That's what it takes
441
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,727
to stop that thing
from killing more people.
442
00:23:03,732 --> 00:23:05,644
But that's... That's not how...
This isn't the way.
443
00:23:05,648 --> 00:23:07,471
When you first met me,
I had just hijacked
444
00:23:07,476 --> 00:23:09,560
someone else's cargo
to save an endangered species.
445
00:23:09,565 --> 00:23:12,307
Are you really surprised
by this, Michael?
446
00:23:14,717 --> 00:23:17,193
If you buy that isolynium,
you'll be crossing a line
447
00:23:17,198 --> 00:23:19,226
you cannot come back from.
448
00:23:22,638 --> 00:23:24,461
You should leave, Michael.
449
00:23:24,466 --> 00:23:27,986
Okay? Just go back,
say you never saw me.
450
00:23:27,991 --> 00:23:30,059
I can't do that.
451
00:23:31,734 --> 00:23:34,476
Then what are you gonna do?
452
00:23:37,479 --> 00:23:39,524
Stop you.
453
00:23:51,754 --> 00:23:54,012
If you like a challenge,
454
00:23:54,017 --> 00:23:56,232
we need challengers!
455
00:23:56,237 --> 00:23:57,668
I was just telling your associate
456
00:23:57,673 --> 00:23:58,991
that the stellar surveys
457
00:23:58,996 --> 00:24:01,846
won't be an issue,
but, uh, they'll take time.
458
00:24:01,851 --> 00:24:03,282
No problem.
459
00:24:03,287 --> 00:24:05,502
We have some other business
to attend to, anyway.
460
00:24:05,507 --> 00:24:07,760
Haz, how much do you want
461
00:24:07,765 --> 00:24:09,611
to take the isolynium out of play?
462
00:24:10,338 --> 00:24:12,204
Three times what you have now.
463
00:24:12,209 --> 00:24:14,006
Fine. I just need access
464
00:24:14,011 --> 00:24:15,599
- to a comms channel.
- Ah.
465
00:24:15,604 --> 00:24:18,210
Last thing I need
is more Starfleet sweeping in,
466
00:24:18,215 --> 00:24:20,443
no offense, and that's
exactly what'll happen
467
00:24:20,448 --> 00:24:22,258
when they find out Book's here.
468
00:24:22,263 --> 00:24:25,130
I monitor Federation channels.
I know what's what.
469
00:24:25,135 --> 00:24:27,088
Then you know you cannot sell him
470
00:24:27,093 --> 00:24:29,047
- the isolynium.
- Sure I can.
471
00:24:29,052 --> 00:24:31,702
Unless I sell it to you.
472
00:24:31,707 --> 00:24:34,771
I'm a banta tree either way.
473
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:40,498
Book's not gonna change his mind, is he?
474
00:24:41,325 --> 00:24:45,019
Which means we need to score
a lot of latinum... fast.
475
00:24:50,073 --> 00:24:52,592
Got an idea.
476
00:24:52,597 --> 00:24:54,464
It's a little crazy.
477
00:24:54,469 --> 00:24:56,662
Visit us up here at the fight ring,
478
00:24:56,667 --> 00:24:59,343
and we'll match your first bet
up to five slips.
479
00:25:08,439 --> 00:25:11,568
Um... Hugh?
480
00:25:11,573 --> 00:25:14,466
- The ship cleans for us.
- Yeah, well...
481
00:25:14,471 --> 00:25:16,512
sometimes, it needs a little zhuzh.
482
00:25:16,517 --> 00:25:19,576
No! How many times do I have to say it?
483
00:25:19,581 --> 00:25:21,152
Return to dock!
484
00:25:22,753 --> 00:25:24,276
You're stressed.
485
00:25:24,281 --> 00:25:27,410
- I'm not stressed.
- You're also cleaning.
486
00:25:27,415 --> 00:25:28,933
Ergo, stressed.
487
00:25:28,938 --> 00:25:32,463
Just... clearing my head.
488
00:25:35,031 --> 00:25:37,251
Is this about Book?
489
00:25:39,340 --> 00:25:41,685
He was in a volatile emotional state,
490
00:25:41,690 --> 00:25:43,208
and I didn't do enough.
491
00:25:43,213 --> 00:25:45,515
This is what Kovich
was warning me about.
492
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,865
Pushing myself. Wearing myself out.
493
00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:49,736
Failing people.
494
00:25:49,741 --> 00:25:52,304
What he did is not on you.
495
00:25:52,309 --> 00:25:54,811
But it is. I'm responsible
496
00:25:54,816 --> 00:25:57,007
for the psychological
and emotional health
497
00:25:57,012 --> 00:26:00,312
of everyone on board this ship.
Book included.
498
00:26:00,317 --> 00:26:01,348
You know
499
00:26:01,353 --> 00:26:04,903
that's a completely unreasonable
expectation to bear.
500
00:26:09,021 --> 00:26:10,770
You can't solve
501
00:26:10,775 --> 00:26:12,455
your patients' problems.
502
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:16,986
All you can do is help them
find their own answers.
503
00:26:17,856 --> 00:26:19,989
I know that. I do. I just...
504
00:26:22,121 --> 00:26:24,423
It's all I can think about.
505
00:26:24,428 --> 00:26:27,034
What I could've done differently.
506
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:29,602
Hugh, listen to me.
507
00:26:29,607 --> 00:26:31,822
I get anxiety.
508
00:26:31,827 --> 00:26:36,208
I mean, right now, I'm-I'm
toggling between the DMA
509
00:26:36,213 --> 00:26:39,917
and how Gray is settling in
to life on Trill.
510
00:26:39,922 --> 00:26:42,354
Is Book okay, wherever he is?
511
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,922
And let's not forget about how badly
512
00:26:44,927 --> 00:26:48,409
I handled the situation with Zora, so...
513
00:26:50,236 --> 00:26:53,273
It's not the same as yours,
514
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:56,847
but it all comes from the same place:
515
00:26:56,852 --> 00:26:59,115
uncertainty.
516
00:27:00,856 --> 00:27:03,593
Which is terrifying.
517
00:27:03,598 --> 00:27:07,210
So, let's be terrified together.
518
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,128
Kovich said you need to take
some time for yourself, right?
519
00:27:13,290 --> 00:27:15,713
The holodeck just got updated
520
00:27:15,718 --> 00:27:18,869
with the Venabalia bloom
from Salata Major,
521
00:27:18,874 --> 00:27:22,620
so how about we take a little stroll
522
00:27:22,625 --> 00:27:26,398
through a field full
of flowers for a bit?
523
00:27:26,403 --> 00:27:29,232
I'd like that.
524
00:27:58,261 --> 00:27:59,475
Are you sure about this?
525
00:28:02,730 --> 00:28:04,349
Things are gonna be heating up
526
00:28:04,354 --> 00:28:08,227
in the ring soon, folks.
You won't want to miss it.
527
00:28:08,967 --> 00:28:12,488
Place your bets now!
528
00:28:12,493 --> 00:28:13,619
Don't miss your chance
529
00:28:13,624 --> 00:28:18,280
to score on Joann "Oh Wow" Owosekun,
530
00:28:18,285 --> 00:28:22,214
the most ferocious fighter
this side of Felton Prime!
531
00:28:22,219 --> 00:28:26,110
Two to one odds are a steal,
folks. Double your money now.
532
00:28:26,115 --> 00:28:29,792
We have one rule.
First one to hit the mat loses.
533
00:28:29,797 --> 00:28:31,463
How you get there
534
00:28:31,468 --> 00:28:32,986
is up to you.
535
00:28:32,991 --> 00:28:34,466
Fight!
536
00:28:42,379 --> 00:28:44,441
That's right, keep your feet.
Limit vulnerabilities.
537
00:28:44,446 --> 00:28:45,882
You got this.
538
00:28:47,745 --> 00:28:49,965
Come on!
539
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:55,144
Wait for your moment!
540
00:29:05,937 --> 00:29:09,714
At two-to-one, your winner,
541
00:29:09,719 --> 00:29:12,548
Ato Kurr!
542
00:29:12,553 --> 00:29:15,311
- I want another shot.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
543
00:29:15,316 --> 00:29:16,921
We need the win.
544
00:29:16,926 --> 00:29:19,089
Come on, let me try. I can do this.
545
00:29:19,094 --> 00:29:22,401
- Who's gonna finally...
- Come on.
546
00:29:23,533 --> 00:29:26,096
That was just a warm-up, folks!
547
00:29:26,101 --> 00:29:28,598
Don't miss out on the rematch.
548
00:29:28,603 --> 00:29:29,895
You'll regret it
549
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,985
if you don't bet it.
Owosekun for the win!
550
00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:36,233
The odds are ten to one.
551
00:29:36,238 --> 00:29:38,512
Place your bets now.
552
00:29:40,911 --> 00:29:42,908
Michael's here.
553
00:29:42,913 --> 00:29:44,375
What? How?
554
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:45,824
She guessed this is where I'd go.
555
00:29:45,829 --> 00:29:47,695
The Federation has no authority here.
556
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:49,915
I didn't think she'd risk it.
557
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,683
She's gonna try to buy
the isolynium out from under us.
558
00:29:54,016 --> 00:29:56,587
- Fight!
- I doubt she'll have enough to get a sandwich,
559
00:29:56,592 --> 00:29:57,610
seeing how that's going.
560
00:29:57,615 --> 00:30:00,473
She always finds a way.
So if you could manage
561
00:30:00,478 --> 00:30:03,929
to help find the cheaters
ASAP, I'd appreciate that.
562
00:30:03,934 --> 00:30:05,800
Does it look like I'm having fun here?
563
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:07,019
Had to get into the mindset.
564
00:30:07,024 --> 00:30:09,021
I had to see the action up close.
565
00:30:09,026 --> 00:30:10,937
Found another cog in your network,
566
00:30:10,941 --> 00:30:13,204
by the way. You're welcome.
567
00:30:14,031 --> 00:30:16,607
His variances between
his large and small bets
568
00:30:16,612 --> 00:30:19,876
is far too sporadic.
Plus, look at his eyes.
569
00:30:21,473 --> 00:30:23,514
Pardon me if I mispronounce this,
570
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:24,819
but you were right.
571
00:30:24,824 --> 00:30:27,523
That is how they signal each other.
572
00:30:34,356 --> 00:30:35,922
Thanks for the drink.
573
00:30:47,238 --> 00:30:49,192
It's a Changeling.
574
00:30:49,197 --> 00:30:51,247
The network is a ring of one.
575
00:30:52,896 --> 00:30:54,619
Blinking must be a nervous tic.
576
00:30:54,624 --> 00:30:56,838
Everybody's got a tell.
577
00:30:56,843 --> 00:30:58,362
Keep on him.
578
00:30:58,367 --> 00:30:59,899
I'll put together a little something
579
00:30:59,903 --> 00:31:01,421
to make sure he can't get away.
580
00:31:15,136 --> 00:31:18,855
Ato Kurr has...
581
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:21,160
That's enough. We're done here.
582
00:31:21,165 --> 00:31:22,166
I'm not quitting.
583
00:31:22,170 --> 00:31:23,496
I'm not letting you get killed.
584
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:25,573
- He's twice your size. You can't win.
- You don't get
585
00:31:25,577 --> 00:31:27,824
- to decide this for me.
- Please. Let's just cut our losses.
586
00:31:27,828 --> 00:31:31,118
- Come on!
- Fine! Okay! Okay. Okay,
587
00:31:31,123 --> 00:31:34,952
rematch. Last one. All in.
588
00:31:36,382 --> 00:31:39,158
We have ourselves a rematch.
589
00:31:39,163 --> 00:31:40,682
Odds coming in
590
00:31:40,687 --> 00:31:42,595
at 45 to one.
591
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,466
- Okay.
- Place your bets now.
592
00:31:44,471 --> 00:31:46,125
I want the moneyline.
593
00:31:46,130 --> 00:31:48,045
Bet it all on Owosekun.
594
00:31:56,296 --> 00:31:59,207
Someone should teach you when to quit.
595
00:31:59,212 --> 00:32:02,776
Someone should teach you
and your friend some manners.
596
00:32:17,548 --> 00:32:20,063
Fight!
597
00:32:34,608 --> 00:32:36,915
Finish him!
598
00:32:55,311 --> 00:32:57,887
45 to one,
599
00:32:57,892 --> 00:32:59,628
your winner:
600
00:32:59,633 --> 00:33:04,154
Joann "Oh Wow" Owosekun!
601
00:33:10,335 --> 00:33:12,902
We need to move. Now.
602
00:33:12,907 --> 00:33:17,211
You can't rush genius.
603
00:33:17,216 --> 00:33:20,406
Congratulations. Everyone's a winner
604
00:33:20,411 --> 00:33:23,322
on Haz Mazaro's Karma Barge.
605
00:33:23,327 --> 00:33:26,542
Do you want a bag? Because there's more.
606
00:33:26,547 --> 00:33:28,314
Actually, you can just
send it all to Haz.
607
00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:29,950
Actually, we'll take it.
608
00:33:29,955 --> 00:33:31,783
You hustled us.
609
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:34,707
You don't want to do that.
610
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:40,866
You definitely don't want to do that.
611
00:33:44,983 --> 00:33:47,333
- Thanks for the assist. Yeah.
- My pleasure.
612
00:33:47,338 --> 00:33:48,899
- Want me to, uh... ?
- Nah.
613
00:33:48,904 --> 00:33:50,166
I got it.
614
00:33:53,679 --> 00:33:56,050
- Ouch.
- Ooh!
615
00:33:56,055 --> 00:33:58,879
I see where the Right Hook comes from.
616
00:33:58,884 --> 00:34:02,975
Changeling. Could use an assist myself.
617
00:34:29,728 --> 00:34:32,029
What in the katterpod and Calaman sherry
618
00:34:32,034 --> 00:34:34,031
- is going on here?
- We've got your latinum.
619
00:34:34,036 --> 00:34:36,909
- We got your cheater.
- Looks like we got a draw.
620
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,366
You should have more than
enough for the isolynium.
621
00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:44,621
Doesn't matter. He already agreed.
622
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:46,126
- Latinum talks, Haz.
- We saved you more
623
00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:47,146
- than I could've possibly owed you.
- And you
624
00:34:47,150 --> 00:34:48,151
should hear this loud and clear.
625
00:34:48,155 --> 00:34:49,174
And you always liked me more...
626
00:34:49,178 --> 00:34:50,379
- Enough!
- That Changeling would've ripped you off
627
00:34:50,383 --> 00:34:51,427
for months.
628
00:34:52,359 --> 00:34:53,660
While you two were strutting around
629
00:34:53,664 --> 00:34:55,705
like Klingons in a disco,
630
00:34:55,710 --> 00:34:58,011
I reached out to some of my regulars
631
00:34:58,016 --> 00:34:59,809
and found two who'd be happy
632
00:34:59,814 --> 00:35:01,689
to take the isolynium off your hands
633
00:35:01,694 --> 00:35:05,176
so you can get back
to your relationship whatnot.
634
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,601
There are many ways we can solve
635
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:11,604
this conundrum, but I thought,
636
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:14,084
in honor of how I met you,
637
00:35:14,089 --> 00:35:17,914
we should settle it in
the traditional courier fashion
638
00:35:17,919 --> 00:35:19,699
with a game of Leonian Poker.
639
00:35:19,704 --> 00:35:21,161
We had a deal, Haz.
640
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:22,989
My raft, my rules.
641
00:35:22,994 --> 00:35:25,257
You want the isolynium or not?
642
00:35:28,521 --> 00:35:30,305
I'm in.
643
00:35:31,206 --> 00:35:32,551
Then so am I.
644
00:35:32,556 --> 00:35:34,378
Delightful.
645
00:35:34,383 --> 00:35:37,077
Usual rules apply.
646
00:35:37,082 --> 00:35:39,683
Your latinum buys you in.
I keep all of that, of course.
647
00:35:39,688 --> 00:35:42,709
The winner gets the isolynium.
The rest get nothing.
648
00:35:42,714 --> 00:35:44,406
Drop out? Still nothing.
649
00:35:44,411 --> 00:35:45,842
Act like an Armus?
650
00:35:45,847 --> 00:35:49,324
Swim the Porathian Ocean
with weighted boots.
651
00:35:49,329 --> 00:35:50,760
Any questions?
652
00:35:50,765 --> 00:35:51,897
Yes.
653
00:35:53,646 --> 00:35:56,818
For a, uh, a gamble this big,
654
00:35:56,823 --> 00:35:59,713
shouldn't we each get a chance
to verify the quality of goods?
655
00:36:01,585 --> 00:36:03,625
Fair enough.
656
00:36:03,630 --> 00:36:05,023
You first.
657
00:36:15,947 --> 00:36:17,726
You know who those two are, right?
658
00:36:17,731 --> 00:36:19,362
Emerald Chain holdouts
659
00:36:19,367 --> 00:36:21,904
hoping to be the next Osyraa.
Yeah, I know.
660
00:36:21,909 --> 00:36:24,176
Yeah, so, we don't agree
on a lot of things right now,
661
00:36:24,181 --> 00:36:26,735
but we both know they
cannot get the isolynium.
662
00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:28,737
I don't plan on losing it to them.
663
00:36:28,742 --> 00:36:31,435
Or to you, for that matter.
664
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,698
You're great at Leonian Poker.
665
00:36:32,703 --> 00:36:34,482
You're a hell of a lot better than me.
666
00:36:34,487 --> 00:36:36,310
But you're no sure thing.
667
00:36:36,315 --> 00:36:38,312
No one is.
668
00:36:38,317 --> 00:36:40,706
- So?
- So,
669
00:36:40,711 --> 00:36:42,621
you remember Schaefer Colony?
670
00:36:42,626 --> 00:36:43,926
Mm-hmm.
671
00:36:43,931 --> 00:36:46,886
Odds can be modified
672
00:36:46,891 --> 00:36:49,633
if we work together.
673
00:36:50,416 --> 00:36:51,896
Next!
674
00:36:56,770 --> 00:36:59,072
I got your pretty star pictures.
675
00:36:59,077 --> 00:37:01,248
I knew you'd come through.
676
00:37:01,253 --> 00:37:04,973
Want a Tetryonic Dosimeter
to measure potency?
677
00:37:04,978 --> 00:37:06,496
No, thank you.
678
00:37:06,501 --> 00:37:08,821
Isolynium has the same
metallic luster as pyrite,
679
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:10,910
and its crystals are equant,
680
00:37:10,915 --> 00:37:14,414
meaning they have
roughly equal dimensions.
681
00:37:15,441 --> 00:37:17,229
When cut with impurities,
682
00:37:17,234 --> 00:37:20,006
opacity and shape are affected, so...
683
00:37:20,011 --> 00:37:23,004
Learn a lot of useful
things as a courier.
684
00:37:23,009 --> 00:37:24,053
This is the real deal.
685
00:37:24,058 --> 00:37:26,926
I don't know what's happening
between you two,
686
00:37:26,931 --> 00:37:29,493
and I've never really
been much for love,
687
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:31,060
but for what it's worth,
688
00:37:31,065 --> 00:37:33,664
I hope it still works out.
689
00:37:43,643 --> 00:37:44,987
Now for the fifth stretch.
690
00:37:44,992 --> 00:37:46,797
Last bet on the hand.
691
00:37:46,802 --> 00:37:48,687
And as the saying goes,
692
00:37:48,692 --> 00:37:51,607
to the Souvlo goes the spud.
693
00:37:57,962 --> 00:37:59,324
Wow!
694
00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:03,266
Spices things up a bit.
695
00:38:03,271 --> 00:38:05,056
Check.
696
00:38:07,188 --> 00:38:08,794
How are you folks doing?
697
00:38:08,799 --> 00:38:11,715
Things going well
in the intimidation industry?
698
00:38:22,073 --> 00:38:24,584
Bet. 10,000.
699
00:38:34,807 --> 00:38:37,022
You know, I've played this guy before.
700
00:38:37,027 --> 00:38:38,606
He's good,
701
00:38:38,611 --> 00:38:40,042
but he has a tell.
702
00:38:40,047 --> 00:38:42,746
Rubs his ear on a good hand.
703
00:38:46,571 --> 00:38:48,268
Call.
704
00:38:49,753 --> 00:38:52,237
Oh, what to do?
705
00:38:52,242 --> 00:38:55,144
What to do? What to do?
706
00:38:55,149 --> 00:38:57,016
You know, I...
707
00:38:57,021 --> 00:38:59,801
I played a game once at Schaefer Colony.
708
00:38:59,806 --> 00:39:01,537
There-there was this guy who bet it all
709
00:39:01,542 --> 00:39:03,700
on a new wardrobe,
thinking it was his night,
710
00:39:03,705 --> 00:39:05,659
only to go home
in the emperor's new clothes
711
00:39:05,664 --> 00:39:07,853
on a flush draw.
712
00:39:07,858 --> 00:39:10,343
Not that anybody was complaining.
713
00:39:31,098 --> 00:39:33,831
Well, looks like I'm all talk.
714
00:39:44,076 --> 00:39:46,096
Let's see it.
715
00:40:05,872 --> 00:40:09,023
Great action in those
Schaefer Colony games.
716
00:40:18,929 --> 00:40:21,435
I'll raise.
717
00:40:26,597 --> 00:40:28,115
Just a little one.
718
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,966
Little baby bet, yeah?
719
00:40:34,953 --> 00:40:36,384
I'm stunned, too.
720
00:40:36,389 --> 00:40:38,609
Who would've thought,
with a four and a six... ?
721
00:40:39,432 --> 00:40:41,381
It's the best night of my life.
722
00:40:41,386 --> 00:40:43,649
I don't...
723
00:40:50,190 --> 00:40:52,187
They make a pretty good team.
724
00:40:52,192 --> 00:40:54,708
I'd be sweating a little if I were you.
725
00:40:57,793 --> 00:40:59,442
And you are?
726
00:40:59,447 --> 00:41:01,841
Lieutenant Commander Owosekun.
727
00:41:04,061 --> 00:41:05,666
Tell me,
728
00:41:05,671 --> 00:41:08,408
Lieutenant Commander Owosekun,
729
00:41:08,813 --> 00:41:11,463
what's your opinion
of what Book and I are doing?
730
00:41:11,468 --> 00:41:14,066
I assume you toe the company line?
731
00:41:14,071 --> 00:41:17,765
I actually understand why
you saw this as a way to go.
732
00:41:17,770 --> 00:41:20,672
- Hmm.
- Still a gigantic risk.
733
00:41:20,677 --> 00:41:23,075
Hoping it doesn't blow back
on all of us.
734
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,599
And to do this against
the advice and will of so many
735
00:41:25,604 --> 00:41:28,446
takes a hell of a big ego, no?
736
00:41:30,130 --> 00:41:32,385
I'm not surprised you think that.
737
00:41:33,568 --> 00:41:35,348
What is it, then?
738
00:41:35,353 --> 00:41:37,389
You're the Federation's genius darling.
739
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:39,508
Why throw it all away?
Makes no damn sense.
740
00:41:39,513 --> 00:41:42,468
I couldn't care less what
the Federation thinks of me.
741
00:41:42,473 --> 00:41:43,573
It's not about them.
742
00:41:43,578 --> 00:41:46,103
So who is it about, then?
743
00:41:47,365 --> 00:41:49,101
Someone who's gone?
744
00:41:49,106 --> 00:41:50,803
Died?
745
00:41:52,587 --> 00:41:54,933
So this is, what, revenge?
746
00:41:54,938 --> 00:41:57,436
You're getting back at someone?
747
00:42:00,734 --> 00:42:03,732
Or keeping a promise, maybe,
to that someone who died.
748
00:42:03,737 --> 00:42:07,219
Okay, you're boring me.
Go stand somewhere else.
749
00:42:12,093 --> 00:42:14,653
I know what it is to lose someone.
750
00:42:16,289 --> 00:42:18,509
You can choose to make
something good come out of it.
751
00:42:22,539 --> 00:42:24,536
There are varying degrees of loss,
752
00:42:24,541 --> 00:42:26,621
Lieutenant Commander Owosekun.
753
00:42:27,971 --> 00:42:31,012
And if you could feel
the weight of mine,
754
00:42:31,017 --> 00:42:33,884
if only for a fleeting moment,
755
00:42:33,889 --> 00:42:37,100
you'd reconsider how much choice one has
756
00:42:37,105 --> 00:42:40,152
with regards to what comes out of it.
757
00:42:42,507 --> 00:42:45,505
I don't appreciate bad
behavior at my table.
758
00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:47,942
Goodbye.
759
00:42:47,947 --> 00:42:50,989
Now for the Battle of Bygone Love.
760
00:43:20,135 --> 00:43:23,264
You know if you win this,
and you take that isolynium,
761
00:43:23,269 --> 00:43:27,012
every bridge you have ever built
will be incinerated instantly.
762
00:43:28,857 --> 00:43:31,725
The bridge between us...
763
00:43:31,730 --> 00:43:34,276
will that be gone, too?
764
00:43:36,909 --> 00:43:39,216
You'd leave me no choice.
765
00:43:40,086 --> 00:43:42,828
Starfleet will come after you
with everything they've got.
766
00:43:43,655 --> 00:43:46,092
I'll be one of the tools they use.
767
00:43:54,579 --> 00:43:56,929
Doesn't have to be like that.
768
00:43:59,932 --> 00:44:01,929
We can end this.
769
00:44:01,934 --> 00:44:04,410
Let's end this.
770
00:44:04,415 --> 00:44:06,465
All right.
771
00:44:09,333 --> 00:44:11,813
Let's end it.
772
00:44:24,087 --> 00:44:26,654
The bet's to you, Michael.
773
00:44:35,707 --> 00:44:38,057
All in.
774
00:44:48,589 --> 00:44:50,374
Straight.
775
00:45:08,653 --> 00:45:10,916
Flush.
776
00:45:18,036 --> 00:45:20,517
Congratulations, Glow-Worm.
777
00:45:26,627 --> 00:45:28,847
I'm sorry.
778
00:45:42,121 --> 00:45:44,863
Sacrifice is always heavy.
779
00:45:47,387 --> 00:45:50,342
And though doing it for
the right reasons should help,
780
00:45:50,347 --> 00:45:52,784
it never does.
781
00:45:58,803 --> 00:46:02,981
In time, I do believe Burnham
and others will understand.
782
00:46:04,317 --> 00:46:06,532
Maybe.
783
00:46:06,537 --> 00:46:09,126
The only thing that would be worse
784
00:46:09,131 --> 00:46:11,955
is that sacrifice done for nothing.
785
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,653
Hmm.
786
00:46:14,658 --> 00:46:17,352
So let's do what we came here to do...
787
00:46:17,357 --> 00:46:19,702
end the DMA.
788
00:46:19,707 --> 00:46:22,645
For good.
789
00:46:22,650 --> 00:46:24,081
As I understood it,
790
00:46:24,086 --> 00:46:26,366
you were gathering data
for first contact
791
00:46:26,371 --> 00:46:28,891
and doing nothing else.
792
00:46:28,896 --> 00:46:31,415
I was there to acquire
a rare set of stellar surveys.
793
00:46:31,420 --> 00:46:33,332
Thought it would shed some
light on what's located
794
00:46:33,336 --> 00:46:34,767
at the 10-C's coordinates.
795
00:46:34,772 --> 00:46:36,564
They're being analyzed now.
796
00:46:36,569 --> 00:46:38,609
Did I hope to run into Book
in the process?
797
00:46:38,614 --> 00:46:41,486
Yes, that is also true.
798
00:46:41,491 --> 00:46:43,588
I can't help but be impressed
by your ability
799
00:46:43,593 --> 00:46:45,764
to navigate a loophole, Captain.
800
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,330
Wouldn't be surprised if you had
some inspiration, either.
801
00:46:50,335 --> 00:46:52,941
I am troubled, however,
that you were not able
802
00:46:52,946 --> 00:46:55,552
to make your loophole count.
803
00:46:55,557 --> 00:46:58,468
You should have found a way to
drag Booker and Tarka back here.
804
00:46:58,473 --> 00:47:00,253
With respect, Madam President,
805
00:47:00,258 --> 00:47:02,995
she was outside Federation territory,
806
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,911
without a weapon, without
a badge, without authority.
807
00:47:05,916 --> 00:47:10,176
Be that as it may, she literally
bet it all, and lost.
808
00:47:10,181 --> 00:47:14,471
Not quite. Book is incredible
at Leonian Poker,
809
00:47:14,476 --> 00:47:17,209
so going into the game, I
already knew that I would lose.
810
00:47:17,214 --> 00:47:21,091
So, I made the best play
that I could with the hand
811
00:47:21,096 --> 00:47:22,441
that I was dealt.
812
00:47:22,446 --> 00:47:24,320
When cut with impurities,
813
00:47:24,325 --> 00:47:26,566
opacity and shape are affected, so...
814
00:47:26,571 --> 00:47:28,133
I planted a tracker.
815
00:47:28,138 --> 00:47:31,092
Same kind Starfleet put
in dilithium shipments
816
00:47:31,097 --> 00:47:33,312
back when deliveries were being stolen.
817
00:47:33,317 --> 00:47:36,302
And as you may remember,
Madam President,
818
00:47:36,307 --> 00:47:39,310
the signal can be detected
from multiple sectors away.
819
00:47:46,721 --> 00:47:51,713
Not many people have the ability
to surprise me, Captain Burnham.
820
00:47:51,718 --> 00:47:54,068
I won't deny what Book means to me.
821
00:47:56,867 --> 00:48:00,796
But I also won't compromise
my commitment
822
00:48:00,801 --> 00:48:03,830
to the safety of the
Federation and everyone in it.
823
00:48:05,832 --> 00:48:07,829
They're not moving.
824
00:48:07,834 --> 00:48:10,489
Tarka's assembling the weapon.
825
00:48:11,359 --> 00:48:14,388
We'll only have one shot
at surprising them.
826
00:48:14,393 --> 00:48:15,881
It has to count.
827
00:48:15,886 --> 00:48:17,796
We'll begin mission-planning
immediately.
828
00:48:17,801 --> 00:48:20,589
Apologies for the interruption, Admiral,
829
00:48:20,594 --> 00:48:21,612
but Commander Stamets
830
00:48:21,617 --> 00:48:23,366
has something very important
to show you.
831
00:48:23,371 --> 00:48:25,391
It cannot wait.
832
00:48:26,453 --> 00:48:29,761
This is what we found
at the species' coordinates.
833
00:48:31,545 --> 00:48:33,986
Their technological capabilities
834
00:48:33,991 --> 00:48:36,702
are beyond our wildest assumptions.
835
00:48:36,707 --> 00:48:38,642
How do you conclude that from this?
836
00:48:38,647 --> 00:48:40,862
It looks like a... blob.
837
00:48:40,867 --> 00:48:43,308
Natural astrophysical objects
838
00:48:43,313 --> 00:48:45,488
emit a broad spectrum
of black body radiation.
839
00:48:45,493 --> 00:48:46,899
This does not.
840
00:48:46,904 --> 00:48:49,162
Therefore, it can only be artificial.
841
00:48:49,167 --> 00:48:51,473
And, whatever it is,
842
00:48:51,478 --> 00:48:55,459
it's 228 million kilometers in radius.
843
00:48:55,464 --> 00:48:57,661
That's enough to contain a host star
844
00:48:57,666 --> 00:49:00,508
with two or three orbiting bodies.
845
00:49:00,513 --> 00:49:03,163
Any signals being emitted
from inside of this thing?
846
00:49:03,168 --> 00:49:04,947
None that we can register.
847
00:49:04,952 --> 00:49:08,890
The structure...
a hyperfield of some kind...
848
00:49:08,895 --> 00:49:11,675
seems to function
as some sort of Faraday cage.
849
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,809
We have no way of knowing what's inside.
850
00:49:14,814 --> 00:49:16,806
Must be astronomical,
the amount of energy
851
00:49:16,811 --> 00:49:18,417
required to maintain that.
852
00:49:18,422 --> 00:49:21,076
Where would all that energy come from?
853
00:49:21,081 --> 00:49:24,750
Zora, analyze the areas
of space left behind
854
00:49:24,755 --> 00:49:26,882
after the DMA changed location.
855
00:49:26,887 --> 00:49:28,075
What are you thinking?
856
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,416
The remaining gases
and elements should all fall
857
00:49:30,421 --> 00:49:32,044
within known statistical parameters,
858
00:49:32,049 --> 00:49:36,222
but if something specific
is missing, like boronite...
859
00:49:36,227 --> 00:49:38,789
Boronite. Of course!
860
00:49:38,794 --> 00:49:41,183
Mr. Saru, if you don't mind?
861
00:49:41,188 --> 00:49:44,191
Boronite is an element
that forms naturally,
862
00:49:44,196 --> 00:49:46,972
albeit in infinitesimal quantities.
863
00:49:46,977 --> 00:49:51,406
In sufficient amounts, however,
it can be synthesized
864
00:49:51,411 --> 00:49:55,114
into some of the most powerful
substances in existence.
865
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:59,785
Would there be enough energy
for this hyperfield of theirs?
866
00:49:59,790 --> 00:50:00,790
And then some.
867
00:50:00,795 --> 00:50:02,966
Your hypothesis was correct, Captain.
868
00:50:02,971 --> 00:50:04,803
There's no trace of boronite at any
869
00:50:04,808 --> 00:50:07,022
of the DMA's prior known locations.
870
00:50:07,027 --> 00:50:08,371
The DMA removed it.
871
00:50:08,376 --> 00:50:10,591
They mined it.
872
00:50:10,596 --> 00:50:12,854
That's the purpose of the DMA.
873
00:50:12,859 --> 00:50:14,856
That's why it seems to move so randomly.
874
00:50:14,861 --> 00:50:16,292
It's not a weapon.
875
00:50:16,297 --> 00:50:17,729
It's a dredge.
876
00:50:17,734 --> 00:50:20,919
If the DMA is their mining equipment,
877
00:50:20,924 --> 00:50:23,312
we can only imagine
what their weapons are like.
878
00:50:23,317 --> 00:50:25,967
And if their power supply is threatened,
879
00:50:25,972 --> 00:50:29,497
it will almost certainly
be seen as a hostile act.
880
00:50:30,446 --> 00:50:33,406
Booker and Tarka must be stopped.
881
00:50:35,189 --> 00:50:37,214
Whatever the cost.
882
00:50:38,515 --> 00:50:40,039
I know.
883
