Persal log, Commander Michael Burnham.

My motr taught me the greatest mysteries

come in threes.

Birth, life, death.

The past, the present and future.

That's where the Red Angel isfrom.

We now ha confirmation, thanks to Mr. Saru.

The angeis humanoid and wearing an exosuit

made ofuture technology we've never seen.

But whose future?

And why?

The only person who y be able to answer these questions

is the one person nobody can find.

Two months before they appeared.

Whichresumes the angel shared them with him

for a damn good reason.

According to hisognitive tests, he had a mental break.

So, either the angel broke him

or chose him because he was broken.

Well, I don't like either option.

Maybe, uh, it owed him a future he couldn't process.

We kn that he ran from the psychiatric unit

on Starbase 5.

And we know the shuttle that he stole

dispeared somewhere in the Mutara sector.

Any leads? None.

But if the Federation and Section 31

are still looking for him...

I need permission to go to Vulcan.

I haven't spon to my mother or father in some time.

Sarek's on the Federation task force.

If he had any information, wed know.

If he did, yes, we would.

My mother, on the other hand,

shhasn't always seen eye-to-eye with him

when it comes to Spock.

You' already packed your bag, haven't you?

Id nev do that without your permission, sir.

Take your leave, Commander.

Good luck, and hurry back to us.

Thank you, sir. Where are you headed?

Were stiing around Kaminar for a while longer.

Left behind traces of residual decay

th Starfleet's tasked us with analyzing.

In the future it came from.

Then, good luck to you, too, Captain.

Status report, Mr. Saru.

E sensors have detected the same spike

of tachyon paicles Admiral Cornwell's team recorded

after our expedition to the asteroid.

Si Sir, these readings cant be accurate.

5,000 parts per cubic micron?

No oneever recorded densities at this level.

Its freaking amazing.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry, sir. You know how I get

around violations of causality.

Plus, you said th I shouldn't curse when I was on duty.

At kind of power source could generate

that amount of tachyon particles?

Well, the tenology may not have been invented yet.

Lets determi more about this possible power source

beyond "freaking amazing."

I am atteming to launch a probe into the anomaly

that may help us detmine where in the future it came from.

But the extreme tachyon interference

is disrupting our targeting systems.

Helm, forward, one-quarter impulse.

Airiamassist Mr. Saru with analysis, please.

Wheres Burnham? On personal leave.

Why wasn't I informed?

Because "personal" means personal.

Ptain, if Burnham's absence is related

to Spock's dappearance, you owe me an explanation.

I owe you?

Owe me.

Uh, Mr. Tyler,

the chair outranks the badge.

The comms are off-line, sir.

Tactical systems have failed, too.

- Talk to me, Owo. - Captain,

these readings don't make any sense.

The comters seem caught in some kind of loop.

Computers dnot do well with temporal distortions,

if that is what we are dealing with.

Oh, what the frick?

You owe me an explanation.

Owe you? The chair outranks the badge.

Captain, dead ahead.

- What I looking at? - It appears to be

a rift in space-time, Captain.

Full reverse.

S-Sorry.

Systems back online.

Okay, lets not do that again.

Mr. Saru,

loadour probe onto a shuttle, Ill pilot it

close enough to tget the anomaly and launch from there.

Sir? Test pilot

was my first assignment in Starfleet.

I kw Discovery's shuttles better

than anyone else on board.

Well, I have no doubt, sir,

but you are vital personnel.

I'm also the most qualified.

Are you famili with the term "bad penny," Mr. Tyler?

Captain, yocan keep me in the dark about Burnham,

but not when it ces to intelligence about these signals

or the Red Angel. m your official liaison to Section 31.

You have to deal with me.

You are aware the war is over, right?

My problem isn't with Klingons.

You killed a member of this crew.

At least your shadow did... Voq.

Sorry, buthere's no way to get rid of him, sir.

I know the feeling.

Starfleet shuttle, identify yourself

This is Commander Michael Burnham.

Requesting permission to land

at the residence of Ambassador Sarek.

Is this official Starfleet business?

I'm not here as a Starfleet officer.

I'm here as his daughter.

Permission granted.

My name is Amanda.

My name is Amanda.

Whats yours? Michael.

Michael.

Do you want to meet our son?

Do you want to meet our son?

You are amused by your own error?

Yeah.

That is... illogical.

Emotions confuse me.

Me, too.

I'm so glad you're home, Michael

Spock is still missing.

Mother, I need your help.

Yes, we know.

Sarek's been like that for hours.

From the moment your father heard

that your brother disappeared,

heseen practicing tokmar every day.

I've nev seen tokmar performed before.

Lost souls back home.

It isn't working.

I think its more than that.

Sarek has thmost disciplined, logical mind I know.

If it n't working, there has to be a reason.

I think you know what it is.

I haven't heard from him.

The longer hes the run, the harder it'll be for him.

Yes, I can see the logic in that.

No matter how angry you are with me,

you have to know how much I love him.

Spock is my brother, Ill protect him.

Even if I knew where he was...

there is no way that I would ever

turn him in toe tried for murders he did not commit.

Mother.

I have not seen him.

Whole life, you've told me the truth.

That's how I know you're lying.

Iyou know where he is, let me help him.

Y have to. You have to let me help him.

Spock is not how you remember him.

Shuttle 5 approaching the anomaly.

Now at minute five, andtill no signs of temporal effects.

Ready move us another 600 kilometers closer

and re-acclimate.

Like a diver rising to the surface.

N't want to get the "time bends," sir.

Time bends. I like that.

O everything sounds cooler when you put

"time" in front of it.

Oh. Getting readings

off the rift... time rift.

Trsmitting to you now, Discovery.

Ptain Pike, when targeting the anomaly

with therobe, make sure to avoid the aperture.

You are on the clock, sir.

Acknowledged, Mr. S... Acknowledged...

Acknowledged, Mr. Saru.

Acknowledged, Mr. Saru...

Vocal analysis shows

that all three acknowledgments

are the same transmission, sir.

Captain, yoare experiencing temporal distortions.

Do not proceed any closer.

Laun the probe from your current position.

Tha you, Mr. Saru. Registering full stop.

Eering coordinates and launch sequence.

No!

Something wrong, sir?

Sir?

Launch the probe.

Captain, there's a mporal shock-wave headed right at you.

Copy that. Engaging evasive maneuvers.

Hold on.

Altering course for...

I've lost them in the time rift.

I cant locate them anywhere.

No response on any channel.

No transnder reading from the shuttle, either.

Mr. Rhys?

Do u detect any debris from an explosion?

I cant see anything, sir.

The sensors are not responding.

If I move the ship any closer,

Officers, our mission s now changed from research to rescue.

T captain and Tyler are counting on us.

Owosekun, recfy our sensor issues by accounting for

varying tachyon levels manually.

Rhys, continue studying the anomaly.

We must understandhe internal dynamics of the phenomenon

in order to recognize deviations.

Because those viations might be our missing shuttle.

Correct.

Theadiation will be lethal in five hours.

Do you rlly think well be able to locate them?

Well, the questn may not be where they are, but when.

We must assume th time does not move inside the anomaly

along a strictly linear course.

N it jumbles it all up, like a blender.

Which makes...

findg the captain and Tyler... impossible.

For us, perhaps, but...

as discovered when Mr. Mudd attacked us,

Commander Stams has a unique relationship with time.

The tardigrade DNA protects him

fm the effects of temporal distortions.

Yes, sir.

Constructiosm combines the epistemological thesis

about what cane known with a meta-philosophical view

othe nature of philosophical questions.

Fmal logic utilizes plausible reasoning

and induive methods organized into subsystems.

The most importanof these systems is classical logic...

Spock, its me.

A deductive argument is one

that ai to show its conclusions must be true.

Spock.

Spock, can you hear me?

Spock.

To y that a logical construction is valid

Its Michael. A deductive argument is

one that as to show its conclusion must be true.

How long has he been like this?

Two days.

I couldn't go to Sarek.

He would weh the needs of the many against the...

We've got to get him to a doctor.

Is classical logic.

Every avenue leaves a trail.

Mother, hes justepeating the First Doctrines of Logic.

Hes trying to ground himself.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7. 8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

What are those numbers?

I don't know, I've tried looking.

Are ty coordinates? Are they command codes?

Are they birthdays? I don't know,

I've tried everything.

We have to get him to a hospital.

You're not taking him anywhere.

Mher, if he were a full-blooded Vulcan,

these emotis would have driven him insane by now.

You cannot keep him here.

Spock came to me for help,

and I will never turn him in.

Anunder Federation law, I don't have to.

Please.

Please don't do this.

As the wife of the Vulcan ambassador,

I have the legaluthority to invoke diplomatic immunity

in der to shield my son from extradition.

Unless the ambassador objects.

The sensors are useless.

You're wasting your time.

We need a fixepoint to target if were gonna navigate

by dead rkoning. You telling me how to fly now?

Captain, I'm not the enemy here.

U got any experience behind the stick?

Take it.

Adjust heading to 1-90-mark-2.

That'the signal that brought us to Kaminar.

How is this possible?

It disapared before Discovery arrived.

Were being pulled back in time.

Or worse,

were traveling through past, present,

and future all at once.

Unlesthe rift closes while were still here.

In whi case, eternity might not last as long

as we think.

Wait. I have to assume

Discovery's coming rough the anomaly for our flight path.

Release the plasma from the nacelles.

Three bursts, five minutes apart.

The thrusters will ignite the fuel.

I due respect, sir, we need this fuel.

That wasn't a suggestion, Mr. Tyler.

Caain, every decision you've made so far

is out your guilt at sitting out the war.

You're trying to prove your bravery

at the expense of our lives.

That's enough!

You will release the psma, or when we get back to the ship...

and we will get back to the ship...

Ill throw you in the brig.

And then you can think about guilt

while awaiting court-martial

for failing to follow a direct order.

Do you understand, Specialist Tyler?

Initiating plasma abort, sir.

The captain is lost?

How the hell did that happen?

Well, hand Tyler got swept up in a time rift.

A time rift? Whats a...?

Wa, are these radiation levels accurate?

Theyl reach lethal exposure in four hours.

And Saru nts me to plot the shuttles trajectory

by ung the mycelial network as a constant?

Well, sinceou have Tardigrade DNA in your system,

it should be a piece of cake for you.

Beyond the event horizon, time exists

all aonce, which makes finding them like...

tching a grain of sand in a hurricane,

using a pair of tweezers.

Hmm.

To sayhat a logical construction is valid...

You lied to me, Amanda.

I asse you hid our son in this sacred crypt

because it contains katra stones,

which bloc any outside telepathic link with him.

You assume correctly.

Your havior was impulsive and shortsighted.

How dare you.

Accepted this life because I love you.

And now Spock pays the price...

like he always has.

This is my worst fear.

Do you know tha I used to read Alice to Spoc

when he was a little y, before Michael came into the house?

"That depends a good deal

on wheryou want to get to," said the Cat.

Do you know why

I read him that book?

Because Spock had difficulties.

Human difficulties.

Learning, reading,

writing.

E Vulcans called it Ltak Terai.

A temporary complation remedied at the Learning Center.

No.

He had no support.

Nody wanted to help a half-Vulcan child

with a learning dibility he'd inherited from his mother.

And in order to save our son,

I began to rd him a story about how to survive

when up is down and left is right.

Your obsession with a book

about chaohas done a disservice to our children.

They were the ones

who re on both sides of the looking glass.

Not you, Sarek.

You never truly respected humanity.

If that we true, I would have married a Vulcan.

Would you have left Vulcan for me?

N you wouldn't. I sacrificed everything

for our family.

Thadoes not change the fact that you have

harbored a fugitive,

whh is a flagrant abuse of my authority.

I don't live under your authority.

I'm your wife

and I'm your partner.

Try again, husband.

"t I don't want to go among mad people,

"remarked Alice.

"Were all mad.

"I'm mad. You're mad.

"t how do you know I'm mad? Said Alice.

You must be, said the Cat."

He is regressing.

Ifpock relinquishes all logic, hes lost.

Father.

I belve this is connected to the Red Angel.

Spock saw it.

And the sen signals, before they appeared to us.

You hid this from me.

I wanted to find him first.

I was trying to save his life.

Amanda, you are correct.

Spock needs help,

which is why you must deliver him to Captain Leland.

Might be throwing him to the wolves.

You want to deliver o son to the people that are after him?

The sole reason theyust be after Spock is because his mind

contains awers the Federation desperately needs.

Outside of this room,

than Section 31.

And what are ty gonna do when they're done with him?

Ck him in jail and throw away the key?

Not if he is innocent.

And there is another logical reason

Michael must do this.

Your career as a Starfleet officer

will be jeopardized once again

if you fail to fulfill your duty.

View othe nature of philosophical questions.

And I am not prepared

to lo both of our children on the same day.

The framework of this system,

Status report, Mr. Tyler.

Psma levels at 30%, shields down to 23.

Were circling closer to the aperture.

So you got what you came for.

Hows that?

Dire straits, high stakes.

Low probability of surfacing.

A the bonus of taking me down with you.

I am trying to get us out of here.

Arguing wh each other isn't going to make it...

What is that?

Its our probe.

But somehow it got an upgrade.

N-C-I-A-9-3, do you read?

I'm CommandeMichael Burnham, and my passenger,

Lieutenant Spock, ruires immediate medical attention.

Alter course to 1-3-1-mark-7

and power down your thrusters.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7. 8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7. 8-4-1-9-4-7.

I'm impressed

you found Spock before we did,

andhat you used your own mother to do it.

I would he enjoyed manipulating mine like that.

If shed lived a little longer.

Did you kill her?

Its a blur.

We've given Commander Spock

a sedative for this procedure.

Captain Leland, what is that?

It allows us to an and repair Spock's neural impulses.

Control wouldn't proceed

Give us the room, please.

That includes you.

I hope Spock is innocent.

If he isn't, my gutells me he may not have been himself.

I know how painful this is for you.

You need answers. So do we.

We will find them together.

Made that promise to Ambassador Sarek,

and I'm making you the same promise.

Thank you, Captain.

Your brotherpsychological makeup that may help us?

Hes brilliant, curious.

When he was ttle, he seemed to have fewer filters.

Everything reached him.

My mother said he had a condition

called Ltak Terai as a child.

I've heard the term.

Its a spatial and order dysphagia.

Much like dyslexia.

Pretty common on Earth.

Not so much on Vulcan.

I reived permission from Admiral Cornwell

to extend your leave.

Section1 doesn't allow non-assigned personnel

to stay on board.

Id rather not leave him alone, sir.

You wont be.

Hell get thbest care the Federation has to offer.

Both need him to get better, Burnham.

Look, were lesthan four hours away from Starbase 23.

Spock wille with the doctors until then, anyway.

Go ahead to the Starbase.

Get a bit of rest.

Listen, the best thi you can do for your brother right now

is to take care of yourself.

Hes gonna need you.

Spock, can you hear me?

Ltak Terai...

You must have been so lonely.

Knowing you, you made

somethingeautiful out of those mirrored images.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

8-4-1-9-4-7.

7-4-9...

1-4-8.

The numbers are backwards.

The numbers are backwards.

Sir, I found something.

Residualraces of three deuterium plasma burns.

I think its the captain.

Well, why burn off valuable fuel

if you are being pulled into a rift?

Its an o trick they taught us in flight school

to alert search parties.

Figured itsomething a former test pilot would do.

Well done, Mr. Rhys.

Se those positions to Commander Stamets.

M calculating the shuttles trajectory.

Not in three-dimensional space,

but using corresponding coordinates

within the mycelial network.

Well, y fourth-dimensional math must be off.

Thisooks like you just sprayed the monitor

with grated Parmesan.

This plasmaurn looks like it happened a week ago,

is one yesterday, and the third one...

Eight mines from now. No, your math is spot-on.

Nonlineatemporal progression is a mind bender.

Oh. That's not good.

Well, why would it do that?

Wel the currents in there work like water

swirling down a drain.

The temporal distortions

make spatial oritation meaningless to the human brain.

Unless...

you have Tardigrade DNA.

Come on, Tilly.

Engaging external shielding.

Its trying to find a way in.

Some of the metals in this thing

dot even register on the periodic chart.

And atomic dec measurements indicate the probes core

has aged... 500 years.

So, what, t-it traveled 500 years in the future,

someonmessed with it and sent it back to us?

Yeah. But why?

Tyler!

No!

Hold still.

Wherare we going? To the transporter room.

I need to be on that shuttle.

I can fly them out. Move!

Sorry, ut calculating transporter coordinates

from here onto a moving uttle inside of a temporal distortion?

It doesn't look disrted to me, Tilly. Its just anomalous.

But if your calculations are off

by even a action, you will end up... Very dead,

which is why you'lbe running the transporter on my mark.

Oh, man, I knew you we gonna say that.

No, w-wait, can-can we just stop for a second

and think about this?

What if we send the PADD over first

and see if it... We don't have time.

In one minute, the shuttle will leave

the triangulation zone and well never

be le to find it again. Right, but, no...

There must be another... Tilly.

Trust the math.

More importantly, trust yourself.

I wouldn't letust anyone beam me in and out of time.

Okay.

Captain.

Excuse me. Stamets?

Admittedly confusing, but

d't worry, I'm gonna get us out of here

by using the network as a road map.

Mm. Oh.

Did work? Is Commander Stamets all right?

I've g the shuttle. Its exiting the anomaly.

On screen.

What... is that?

Discovery, this is Stamets.

Wve picked up a hitchhiker; its a probe

but with a few modifications.

D in addition to it trying to kill us,

its accessing our ships data core.

Yellow art. We have your, uh, shuttle screens

mirrored here, sir... whoa.

The probe is searching our computers

at incrediblspeeds; I will attempt to lock it out.

Well try on our end.

Grab the Fahrenheit tools.

Rhys, can you target the probe

without destroying the shuttle?

Not with your shields so low.

Can we beam them out?

They're too near the rift to get

a lock, sir.

Hold on, l move us closer to Discovery.

Plasma's gone. Were in drift.

Its lling us back into the rift.

I've disabled the cameras

for 60 seconds, so listen closely.

Your instincts are correct, Michael.

That machine is a memory extractor.

It will destroy your brothers mind.

Why should I believe you?

Land is just a puppet following orders.

And I didn't think you'd want

your brothers blood on your hands.

So you're telling mehis out of the goodness of your heart?

No, the goodness of yours.

I know so mh more about you than you can imagine.

But that's for another time.

Right now, you're going to attack me,

tn rescue Spock, which is good for you.

And that will make Leland look bad,

which is good for me.

Ten seconds, Michael.

So, what will it...?

Trying to make it look good.

Not bad.

Once more, with feeling.

CaptaiPike, we cannot get a transporter lock

r you on our end, and we will lose you

to the rift in 34 seconds.

Commander, can you calculate

the transporter coornates for Discovery remotely?

Uh... probably?

Great. Sa, I'm blowing up the shuttle manually.

Engaging self-destruct sequence.

Better hur with those calculations, Mr. Stamets.

Sending transport coordinates now.

Coordines received. Standing by to transport.

Self-destruct activated.

- Owo! Beam us out. - Owo, beam us out!

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now!

Commander Airiam, are they safe?

Commander Airiam, are they safe?

Commander Airiam?

They are securely on board.

Attention, all personnel.

Security breach in main shuttle bay.

Security breach to the shuttle bay.

Stdard detainment protocols remain in...

Thank you, Mr. Saru.

Thank you, everyone, for, uh...

well, our lives.

Don't thank us yet, sir.

Isbout to hit us with a... time tsunami.

That ones not as cool as it sounds.

Dmer, maximum warp. Get us out of here.

Aye, sir.

Its good to be back in the chair.

Y should probably get that checked out.

On QonoSwe wouldn't even bother to bandage it.

You know...

if it wasn't for you,

that think would've sliced me in two.

Just... instinct.

No, its more than that,

and I am grateful.

And, Mr. Tyler,

yomay have been right about why I, uh...

why I gave myself the mission.

Yr plasma burn was the right call, sir.

Likyou said, you were the most qualified.

Mr. Saru, have you analyzed

the probes attack on our systems?

Well, analyzing, sir.

It will take us te to discover what it was looking for.

That probe ca from the future and tried to kill us.

The Red Angel comes from the future.

Ptain, are you suggesting it may share

the probes hostile intent?

Mr. Tyl has broached that possibility before,

d today I think he might have a point.

Whethethe Red Angel is here to end something

start something, one things for sure.

Were the middle of a fight for the future.

Always, Mr. Tyler.

Are always in a fight for the future.

You let her go.

Where is she taking Spock?

They're family. Maybe they're going

on a picnic.

Georgiou...

do not overestimate your value here.

O do you think you're fooling, Leland?

You need me... to ep Burnham from finding out the truth.

The truth?

You're rponsible for the death of her parents.

Mind your manners.

You're no longer calling the shots.

Secto 0-1-4 and 0-1-5 report all clear.
