1
00:01:30,966 --> 00:01:34,261
If your parents never met,
you wouldn't exist.
2
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:40,976
In fact, if any of your great-great-
great-great-grandparents hadn't met,
3
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:42,853
you wouldn't exist.
4
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:49,860
Everyone in the universe
is the result of a unique set of pairings,
5
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:52,779
and psychohistory doesn't care about them
at all.
6
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:01,747
Good morning.
7
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,459
Why the long face?
8
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:07,419
Could witness prophecy today.
9
00:02:07,419 --> 00:02:10,297
Prophecy. Seldon help us.
10
00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:14,843
Go tend to our guest. I'll pilot us in.
11
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:49,628
You don't look very comfortable.
Sorry we didn't have a third seat.
12
00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:51,129
Don't worry about me.
13
00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:55,717
I'm perfectly happy rooming
14
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:58,762
with dehydrated potatoes and...
15
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:02,516
"ralfbarns." What the hell are ralfbarns?
16
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:05,727
Food bars. Thespin and delicious.
17
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:07,312
Did I puke on myself?
18
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:08,647
You did.
19
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:13,861
That's the Claric's.
20
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,906
Not really my color, but fuck him.
21
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:31,044
I heard you once wore a scarlet robe.
22
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,839
Briefly. Till the Clarics took a good look
at my soul.
23
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:35,591
Well, not everyone is called.
24
00:03:35,591 --> 00:03:38,177
It's possible to do good works
outside the formal system.
25
00:03:38,177 --> 00:03:41,180
Yeah.
It's also possible to cheat the greedy,
26
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,764
bed the willing, and spend the cash.
27
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:44,850
So your good works are subconscious.
28
00:03:48,687 --> 00:03:49,771
What is that, anyway?
29
00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:52,691
This...
30
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:56,653
is Locris wine.
31
00:03:57,654 --> 00:03:59,031
It's two centuries old,
32
00:03:59,031 --> 00:04:02,201
laid down ten years
before the Zeonian Rebellion.
33
00:04:02,201 --> 00:04:04,077
Locris had a permanently sunny side,
34
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:06,330
so the grapes grown there
were extra sweet.
35
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,249
Empire ashed it with his nuclears
a while back,
36
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:13,462
which means this vintage is rare as hell
37
00:04:13,462 --> 00:04:16,548
and the only luxury item I know of
actually worth its price.
38
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,216
You'd swoon from the taste, Brother.
39
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:22,387
I don't drink.
But I love the idea of sunny wine.
40
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,681
Why you saving it?
41
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:26,934
I'm waiting
for something good to celebrate.
42
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:30,437
I've had this 15 years,
I still haven't cracked it open.
43
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:32,523
You must be a man of tremendous hope.
44
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,733
I'm sorry, who are you--
45
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:37,069
For 15 years when something
wonderful happened, you thought,
46
00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:39,905
- "No, something better's coming."
- Maybe nothing wonderful has happened.
47
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:42,407
You also said
the planet had a permanent sunny side.
48
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:45,577
Pessimist would've said
it had a permanent dark side.
49
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:49,081
And speaking of dark sides,
I'd keep that hidden from...
50
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,084
He doesn't always use his best judgment
around alcohol.
51
00:04:53,085 --> 00:04:54,962
- It's because of the alcohol.
- It's a noted side effect.
52
00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:57,047
My Pater runs a pub down there.
The Four Moons.
53
00:04:57,589 --> 00:05:00,259
- I have served a lot of drunks.
- You still do.
54
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:03,846
What's your real name, Brother?
55
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:05,639
My Pater is Sayta-Thespin.
56
00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:09,393
We're a cultural minority,
keep our names private.
57
00:05:09,393 --> 00:05:12,354
All right, if I guess it correctly,
you would break a rule
58
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:14,022
and share this with me right now?
59
00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:17,526
Jormette. Auran. Cavalcade?
60
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:19,903
- Is Cavalcade even a name?
- No, no.
61
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:25,075
I panicked. Borma? Ketrin? Agatish.
62
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:05,115
Director, here's Hober Mallow.
63
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:07,492
Sef remembers me. We're old friends.
64
00:06:07,993 --> 00:06:09,620
- Mallow.
- Father.
65
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,996
Constant.
66
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:16,335
I had no idea
you were father and daughter.
67
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,130
Providing a child for the cause.
Who'd have guessed?
68
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:22,132
- What's happening with the Vault?
- Nothing.
69
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:24,343
No sign of Seldon.
We're maintaining a perimeter.
70
00:06:24,343 --> 00:06:27,387
This is Brigadier Manlio, and this is
my trusted adviser, Councilor Sutt.
71
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,097
Now, all of you, come with me.
72
00:06:31,642 --> 00:06:34,144
And off we march again to the Prophet.
73
00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:36,313
So exciting.
74
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:56,500
The Royal Seal is on everything.
75
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:59,086
This morning,
I thought I saw it on my own face.
76
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:00,045
And you know what?
77
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:04,341
It was, because it's embroidered
on the damn pillow.
78
00:07:06,677 --> 00:07:10,472
Plain-faced as a common woman.
Where are your pigments?
79
00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:12,140
It's psychological.
80
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,434
He'll feel like I'm revealing myself,
81
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,061
which will make him want
to open up in turn.
82
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:20,023
I intend to find out the truth
about my family, one way or another.
83
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:22,943
I know how to employ courtesan tricks.
84
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:24,528
You taught me most of them.
85
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:27,197
Empire makes everyone into a courtesan.
86
00:07:28,699 --> 00:07:29,700
Eventually.
87
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:38,041
Dusk and Enjoiner Rue?
88
00:07:39,585 --> 00:07:40,586
What? Last night?
89
00:07:40,586 --> 00:07:41,712
Decades ago.
90
00:07:42,254 --> 00:07:44,131
Rue was a concubine in the Gossamer Court.
91
00:07:44,923 --> 00:07:48,385
Your grandfather selected Rue
for a tryst and changed everything.
92
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:50,804
She returned home rich and celebrated.
93
00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:52,973
I'd have thought he'd have mentioned it.
94
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:56,185
And he's not my grandfather.
95
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:57,811
Sorry, right.
96
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,023
It's easy to forget
how things are with you.
97
00:08:01,023 --> 00:08:03,358
It seems so strange from the outside.
98
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:06,153
Sometimes it's strange
from the inside too.
99
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:10,032
Should we go this way?
100
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:13,493
There's a lovely little grove.
It's very secluded.
101
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,040
We'll have your Handman there
as chaperone.
102
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:20,667
He is a vigilant one.
103
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:54,243
Seems we've found your seclusion.
Very pretty.
104
00:08:57,079 --> 00:08:58,830
Do you wish to ask your question now?
105
00:09:03,585 --> 00:09:06,004
You want to know
if I was behind the assassination attempt?
106
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:08,465
Well, you must acknowledge
that the timing is suspicious.
107
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:09,800
It is indeed.
108
00:09:10,592 --> 00:09:14,221
And do you take me for the sort of fool
who'd make myself look so suspicious?
109
00:09:14,972 --> 00:09:17,307
- I don't wish to believe it was you.
- It wasn't.
110
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:20,143
There, I've answered it.
111
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:22,813
It's up to you to decide if I'm lying.
112
00:09:25,357 --> 00:09:30,737
Now, since I've been so open and obliging...
113
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:37,828
Do you think Day had my family killed?
114
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:39,246
No.
115
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:44,209
Is there evidence?
116
00:09:45,669 --> 00:09:46,670
Good reaction.
117
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:49,548
I'll judge you weren't involved.
118
00:09:50,132 --> 00:09:51,550
I most certainly wasn't.
119
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:55,179
If it happened, which I very much doubt.
120
00:09:55,179 --> 00:09:58,682
The evidence is circumstantial.
121
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:02,102
But consider this.
122
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:05,814
I was a million steps from the throne.
123
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:10,277
And not a single person
in the line of succession ahead of me
124
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:11,612
would've made this alliance.
125
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,075
And then one mysterious crash later,
and suddenly there I am.
126
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:24,666
The weakest member of my family
ruling a weakened Dominion,
127
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:28,212
just as Day is looking for someone
desperate enough
128
00:10:28,212 --> 00:10:31,673
to climb on top of an Empire
with dangerously adjusted frontiers.
129
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,261
But there are others who've benefited.
130
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:39,348
Your own Enjoiner Rue, for example,
131
00:10:39,348 --> 00:10:42,392
has risen from concubine
to the right-hand of a future empress.
132
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:45,103
And I'm sure there are other suspects.
133
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:48,398
I would still like to know
if my intended is capable of it.
134
00:10:52,402 --> 00:10:53,487
By which, I mean...
135
00:10:55,656 --> 00:10:56,740
I suppose...
136
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:00,869
Do you feel like you would be?
137
00:11:02,454 --> 00:11:07,334
Since, as we've established,
you are the same man.
138
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:10,712
I don't think I would be.
139
00:11:12,798 --> 00:11:14,258
But age brings changes.
140
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:18,262
And I'm well-prepared
to think I could become capable of it.
141
00:11:23,058 --> 00:11:26,520
Of course, that would have to be
before I knew you...
142
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:30,274
and liked you.
143
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:35,070
I like you too.
144
00:11:38,907 --> 00:11:41,118
And I like your truthfulness.
145
00:11:44,246 --> 00:11:46,081
Let's stay honest with each other always.
146
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:58,093
If Day thinks it's to his advantage to
deal with the weakest member of my family,
147
00:11:58,677 --> 00:11:59,678
he's wrong.
148
00:12:01,305 --> 00:12:05,225
You're going to be an interesting addition
to our strange little family.
149
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:10,898
You know, since you are the same man,
150
00:12:12,441 --> 00:12:14,443
have you ever wondered why
they don't have us marrying?
151
00:12:16,278 --> 00:12:17,404
I think we'd have suited.
152
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,513
I have been admiring your work.
153
00:12:43,472 --> 00:12:47,142
The older sections too.
I saw your hand there.
154
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:49,728
Well, just touching up
where things have faded.
155
00:12:50,354 --> 00:12:54,274
They didn't use real Dominion pigment
in those days, so thank you for that.
156
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,318
I'm sure it was your idea.
157
00:12:56,318 --> 00:12:57,903
I merely advise.
158
00:12:57,903 --> 00:13:00,405
And you did more than refresh the colors.
159
00:13:01,073 --> 00:13:03,742
The last five generations
have taken up a bolder style,
160
00:13:03,742 --> 00:13:07,162
and your embellishments have brought that
into harmony with the earlier work.
161
00:13:07,162 --> 00:13:09,790
Or at least covered over what was timid.
162
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:12,167
Well, I started early.
163
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:15,754
Painted this section when I was still Day.
164
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,258
"Why wait for it to be a chore,"
I thought,
165
00:13:19,258 --> 00:13:22,052
"when it can be a pleasure instead?"
166
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,563
Gossamer Court hasn't changed
as much as the Mural.
167
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:33,564
Or at all.
168
00:13:34,106 --> 00:13:35,649
It could be 30 years ago.
169
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:39,152
And you are still just as beautiful.
170
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:40,654
So it was you I bedded?
171
00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:43,824
I thought maybe I lost count of my Cleons.
172
00:13:43,824 --> 00:13:46,702
No, it was me. Number XVI.
173
00:13:46,702 --> 00:13:47,828
Well, thank you.
174
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:52,124
The distinction of being selected put me
on the political ladder, as you can see.
175
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:55,669
Rue.
176
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:04,052
I've never spoken to someone
after Erasure.
177
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,804
Things are changing.
178
00:14:06,847 --> 00:14:09,725
You might be the last Dusk
and the first Grandfather Cleon.
179
00:14:10,475 --> 00:14:12,477
If the union happens.
180
00:14:13,312 --> 00:14:15,480
Right. Yes.
181
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,151
No one seems to be especially in favor
of this match, apart from Day and myself.
182
00:14:20,402 --> 00:14:22,821
Of course,
we have the votes that matter most.
183
00:14:23,614 --> 00:14:24,907
Not the Queen's?
184
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:28,535
My opinion weighs heavy with her,
but you're right.
185
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:32,789
She's her own woman.
She doesn't suffer idiots.
186
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:35,375
Empire tends to get wisdom late.
187
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:39,963
For example, I'm much smarter now
than when last we talked.
188
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:41,423
I wouldn't remember.
189
00:14:42,299 --> 00:14:44,009
And that is a shame.
190
00:14:45,177 --> 00:14:48,972
We had a lively conversation
and a joyous copulation.
191
00:14:49,473 --> 00:14:50,849
Well, that's good to know.
192
00:14:50,849 --> 00:14:54,353
We keep recordings.
We could watch if you like.
193
00:14:54,353 --> 00:14:56,480
In my quarters. It's private.
194
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:00,984
Would I keep any new memories?
195
00:15:01,777 --> 00:15:03,153
Oh, yes.
196
00:15:07,658 --> 00:15:11,078
We pair to procreate, or so we're taught.
197
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:13,872
Love itself is inconsequential
198
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:17,209
when measured against the scale
of the galaxy.
199
00:15:28,262 --> 00:15:29,388
At ease.
200
00:15:34,351 --> 00:15:35,853
Status, Officer Kress?
201
00:15:35,853 --> 00:15:36,937
Yes, General.
202
00:15:37,479 --> 00:15:42,526
Geosynch is at zero inclination, and our
current altitude is 40,000 kilometers.
203
00:15:42,526 --> 00:15:45,445
Type Zero civilization, largely agrarian.
204
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:49,700
No satellite array. No painting
on any electronic frequency.
205
00:15:50,367 --> 00:15:52,160
It's doubtful
the locals even know we're here.
206
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,123
Good. The Imperium hasn't maintained
an official presence in the Outer Reach
207
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,249
for over a century.
208
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:00,711
I'm not keen on ringing any alarm bells
just yet.
209
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:02,462
Shall I arrange a shuttle crew, sir?
210
00:16:03,297 --> 00:16:06,967
No shuttle. Officer Curr
and myself will be winging it.
211
00:16:07,551 --> 00:16:09,678
We'll use the storm as cover.
212
00:16:10,262 --> 00:16:12,347
Engineering will drop
an extraction packet,
213
00:16:12,347 --> 00:16:14,641
then we'll make contact
with our informant.
214
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:19,646
If these Magicians really are a threat,
he'll know.
215
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:21,064
Very good, sir.
216
00:16:40,709 --> 00:16:42,669
Releasing extraction packet.
217
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:44,046
Good for insertion.
218
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:47,341
Launching in three, two, one.
219
00:17:29,508 --> 00:17:30,509
Glay?
220
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:43,313
Bel!
221
00:17:48,235 --> 00:17:50,612
Sorry. Missed the landing.
222
00:18:01,331 --> 00:18:05,210
We need to secure the extraction packet.
Make our way to the informant.
223
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,171
Packet is a klick east of us.
224
00:18:11,675 --> 00:18:12,885
Seems to be moving.
225
00:18:46,877 --> 00:18:49,671
Don't underestimate them,
they are armed and reckless.
226
00:18:57,429 --> 00:18:58,639
Well-met.
227
00:19:00,933 --> 00:19:01,934
We mean no harm.
228
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:15,989
It appears you've recovered our property.
229
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:20,452
Isn't your property anymore.
This here is salvage.
230
00:19:20,452 --> 00:19:25,082
All right. Siwenna rules.
How much do you want for it?
231
00:19:28,836 --> 00:19:32,047
How much do we want? Let's see!
232
00:19:33,131 --> 00:19:35,759
How about half a dozen of them
pretty little teeth of yours?
233
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:41,306
No one's got teeth like that
here in Siwenna. Where you from?
234
00:19:41,306 --> 00:19:42,683
Jennisek.
235
00:19:42,683 --> 00:19:43,934
Don't believe it.
236
00:19:43,934 --> 00:19:46,228
Not when you're carrying
imperial property.
237
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:47,729
We don't want any trouble.
238
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:51,066
Like he said, we'd be happy to pay.
239
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:52,818
"We'd be delighted to pay."
240
00:19:54,903 --> 00:19:56,113
Not happening, off-worlder.
241
00:19:59,324 --> 00:20:02,202
Imperial maggots pay in blood.
242
00:20:06,248 --> 00:20:07,291
Bel!
243
00:20:14,131 --> 00:20:15,257
Enough!
244
00:20:15,924 --> 00:20:18,093
Release our property! We release her.
245
00:20:19,887 --> 00:20:21,430
Shut your face!
246
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:27,477
Fuck!
247
00:21:09,645 --> 00:21:12,314
Shit.
He's gonna be back with reinforcements.
248
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:14,691
We need to get to the informant fast.
249
00:21:25,911 --> 00:21:27,871
Fuck. That felt good.
250
00:21:27,871 --> 00:21:29,623
Yeah, I can see that on your face.
251
00:21:29,623 --> 00:21:32,042
Come here. Under all the blood.
252
00:21:32,543 --> 00:21:35,295
All right. It was cathartic, I won't lie.
253
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:36,588
Yeah, but was it necessary?
254
00:21:37,214 --> 00:21:38,715
There might have been a bloodless path.
255
00:21:39,508 --> 00:21:40,509
There wasn't.
256
00:21:40,509 --> 00:21:43,595
Well, we can't know because you dove in
without meeting my eye first,
257
00:21:43,595 --> 00:21:44,972
or giving me a signal.
258
00:21:44,972 --> 00:21:48,308
That is not how we work!
Breaking a nose out of the blue.
259
00:21:48,934 --> 00:21:50,727
Guess I picked up a few new tricks.
260
00:21:56,108 --> 00:21:59,111
- Fuck!
- Empire takes a toll indeed.
261
00:22:02,114 --> 00:22:05,617
Bel, you cannot let them change you into
some hair-triggered nerve-case
262
00:22:05,617 --> 00:22:08,579
- they can just point at anyone!
- Fuck, Glay. I told you, let me be!
263
00:22:10,956 --> 00:22:11,957
Come on.
264
00:22:14,251 --> 00:22:18,297
I'm just saying.
By the time you recognize an atrocity,
265
00:22:19,464 --> 00:22:21,508
you may have already been
complicit in one.
266
00:22:22,593 --> 00:22:23,760
Just shut up and walk.
267
00:22:54,583 --> 00:22:56,376
The fuck is that?
268
00:22:56,877 --> 00:22:57,961
The Vault asked for you.
269
00:22:58,837 --> 00:22:59,880
No.
270
00:23:02,299 --> 00:23:05,302
No. Poly, what the fuck?
It doesn't work like this.
271
00:23:05,302 --> 00:23:08,180
Trust me, it makes no sense to me either.
272
00:23:08,180 --> 00:23:10,891
Apparently,
you're worthy of an engraved invitation.
273
00:23:10,891 --> 00:23:12,601
We don't know it's an invitation.
274
00:23:13,310 --> 00:23:15,270
Not considering what happened to
the Warden.
275
00:23:16,146 --> 00:23:17,481
Huh?
276
00:23:21,693 --> 00:23:22,819
That was a person?
277
00:23:28,617 --> 00:23:30,035
- Hell no.
- We should've told him.
278
00:23:30,035 --> 00:23:32,663
What? About the incineration part?
Yeah, you should have!
279
00:23:32,663 --> 00:23:35,832
- You would've refused to come.
- I did. I did refuse.
280
00:23:35,832 --> 00:23:38,293
Where is that heart full of hope, Hober?
281
00:23:39,419 --> 00:23:41,380
The Vault won't hurt you,
it asked for you.
282
00:23:41,380 --> 00:23:45,008
What if it asked for me
because it wants to kill me? Huh?
283
00:23:46,802 --> 00:23:50,764
No. No, your trumped-up religion, yeah,
284
00:23:51,348 --> 00:23:54,810
can get itself another human sacrifice,
'cause I'm not doing it.
285
00:23:56,186 --> 00:24:00,065
No. No. No, no, no, no!
286
00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:08,866
- So much for doing it your way.
- You're telling me this is my fault?
287
00:24:08,866 --> 00:24:12,035
Of course we're gonna fetch Hober Mallow.
Our future's already been dictated!
288
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:13,120
Gentlemen?
289
00:24:14,162 --> 00:24:16,123
Come on, both of you. We gotta help Hober!
290
00:24:18,584 --> 00:24:19,668
Guess it's just me then.
291
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:32,890
Well, are you coming?
292
00:24:32,890 --> 00:24:37,269
Governance depends on me
continuing to govern.
293
00:24:49,031 --> 00:24:50,073
Hober?
294
00:24:52,701 --> 00:24:53,785
Hober?
295
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,121
Weird.
296
00:24:57,122 --> 00:24:58,165
It sounds big in here.
297
00:25:06,215 --> 00:25:07,466
It is big in here.
298
00:25:09,051 --> 00:25:10,677
So, where's Hober?
299
00:25:10,677 --> 00:25:11,970
Hober?
300
00:25:15,474 --> 00:25:16,975
- Hober?
- Constant!
301
00:25:19,102 --> 00:25:22,231
- What the shine happened to you?
- You got water?
302
00:25:23,023 --> 00:25:24,233
Please, please. Give me some.
303
00:25:25,234 --> 00:25:27,528
Two days! Why'd you wait?
304
00:25:27,528 --> 00:25:30,322
Two days? It's been two minutes.
305
00:25:35,994 --> 00:25:37,538
I promise you, it's not.
306
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:40,999
I've been wandering this place forever.
This place never ends!
307
00:25:40,999 --> 00:25:43,043
Time must be different in here too.
308
00:25:43,043 --> 00:25:45,087
We should step outside
and gather provisions.
309
00:25:45,087 --> 00:25:48,841
Oh, my God. You have a ralfbarn.
310
00:25:53,679 --> 00:25:55,013
Seldon?
311
00:25:57,266 --> 00:25:58,267
Dad?
312
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,813
Director. What about all the governance?
313
00:26:05,941 --> 00:26:07,317
I put Sutt in charge.
314
00:26:08,026 --> 00:26:10,571
And we're very glad you joined us.
315
00:26:10,571 --> 00:26:11,905
Unbelievable.
316
00:26:12,823 --> 00:26:16,076
I turn off the death ray
and it's all aboard.
317
00:26:16,076 --> 00:26:18,245
Have some respect, you arse.
318
00:26:18,245 --> 00:26:23,000
We're inside the mathematics
of Hari Seldon.
319
00:26:25,252 --> 00:26:29,256
Yeah. Well, I wouldn't go that way.
I took a dump over there.
320
00:26:32,259 --> 00:26:36,054
Right. Well, let's go this way.
321
00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:10,589
Wow. I would not wanna get lost in here.
322
00:27:11,423 --> 00:27:13,008
You are lost in here.
323
00:27:23,185 --> 00:27:24,228
You hear music?
324
00:27:46,416 --> 00:27:47,793
It's coming from this way.
325
00:28:13,318 --> 00:28:16,989
Have something to eat. You must be hungry.
326
00:28:17,739 --> 00:28:18,991
The Prophet.
327
00:28:22,286 --> 00:28:23,871
How is there food here?
328
00:28:23,871 --> 00:28:25,622
How is there a library?
329
00:28:27,541 --> 00:28:30,586
The Vault manipulates molecules.
330
00:28:31,587 --> 00:28:35,382
Everything is molecules.
Food is molecules.
331
00:28:35,382 --> 00:28:38,260
If the Vault makes it,
then it all comes from your body.
332
00:28:40,846 --> 00:28:42,848
- Dr. Seldon.
- Director Sermak.
333
00:28:43,807 --> 00:28:48,562
You look like a man who has built himself
a mountain to stand atop.
334
00:28:48,562 --> 00:28:50,439
And such a fine suit as well.
335
00:28:50,439 --> 00:28:51,773
I don't-- I--
336
00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:53,650
We thank you, Prophet.
337
00:28:54,151 --> 00:28:59,323
I'm the director's daughter,
Brother Constant, pledged to your cause.
338
00:28:59,323 --> 00:29:02,910
I see by your robes that the Foundation
has entered the religious phase.
339
00:29:04,453 --> 00:29:07,831
It is a pleasure to meet you,
my loyal child.
340
00:29:15,672 --> 00:29:16,798
Poly Verisof.
341
00:29:17,466 --> 00:29:19,009
Poly Verisof...
342
00:29:20,761 --> 00:29:21,762
The boy?
343
00:29:23,096 --> 00:29:25,265
You were so young just yesterday.
344
00:29:26,350 --> 00:29:28,810
I take it you're also in service to the--
345
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:31,146
Well, what do you call it?
A church? A--
346
00:29:31,146 --> 00:29:33,398
We do. I am.
347
00:29:33,899 --> 00:29:36,318
Good man. I mean that.
348
00:29:36,902 --> 00:29:39,780
I could almost believe
you transported us to Trantor.
349
00:29:40,447 --> 00:29:44,409
We're inside a tesseract, right?
A polychoron.
350
00:29:44,409 --> 00:29:48,622
A four-dimensional object
in three-dimensional space. Yes, Poly.
351
00:29:49,873 --> 00:29:53,585
And that means that
you must be Hober Mallow.
352
00:29:55,337 --> 00:29:57,923
I heard you, you know,
during your wanderings.
353
00:29:59,007 --> 00:30:05,681
Entreaties to dead grandparents, parents,
and a bewildering number of bedmates.
354
00:30:06,974 --> 00:30:10,143
Yeah, and you didn't think
to throw some food molecules in my path?
355
00:30:11,186 --> 00:30:12,604
You taste delicious, by the way.
356
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,314
Apologies.
357
00:30:14,898 --> 00:30:17,568
I've grown detached from physical needs.
358
00:30:17,568 --> 00:30:19,528
And time, well...
359
00:30:21,613 --> 00:30:23,073
it slips in here.
360
00:30:23,699 --> 00:30:25,450
Besides, I wanted more than just you.
361
00:30:27,744 --> 00:30:29,162
I'm going to need you all.
362
00:30:30,289 --> 00:30:31,540
To do what?
363
00:30:31,540 --> 00:30:33,000
Prevent a war.
364
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:34,835
Prevent a war?
365
00:31:14,291 --> 00:31:17,461
Stand still, both of you, or die.
366
00:31:21,882 --> 00:31:23,342
Patrician Barr, I take it.
367
00:31:23,926 --> 00:31:25,177
State your business.
368
00:31:25,677 --> 00:31:30,224
I'm General Bel Riose.
This is my Fleet Supremus, Officer Curr.
369
00:31:32,226 --> 00:31:34,895
We've come seeking information
about the Magicians.
370
00:31:34,895 --> 00:31:36,730
I know of no Magicians.
371
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:39,608
I'm a humble vintner,
as you can clearly see.
372
00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:41,276
Patrician,
373
00:31:42,277 --> 00:31:46,573
the Magicians I'm concerned with hail
from beyond the frontier guards,
374
00:31:47,658 --> 00:31:49,785
where the stars are scattered thinly.
375
00:31:50,494 --> 00:31:53,247
And the cold of space seeps in.
376
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:57,793
Then call me Ducem, please.
377
00:31:59,044 --> 00:32:03,465
"Patrician" sounds like a rich man
sliding apology money across a mattress.
378
00:32:03,465 --> 00:32:06,802
We have to tell you, we had a run-in
with your countryfolk on our way here.
379
00:32:07,719 --> 00:32:10,430
So we should keep this meeting quick,
for your protection.
380
00:32:11,056 --> 00:32:14,893
Seems Siwenna has fallen into barbarism
since Empire's retreat.
381
00:32:17,229 --> 00:32:19,439
History has been crowded since.
382
00:32:20,524 --> 00:32:24,486
Both Empire's yoke
and the release of it have left a mark.
383
00:32:26,363 --> 00:32:28,365
And yet you're still a loyal subject.
384
00:32:29,366 --> 00:32:32,578
I do my job.
I've been tight-beaming dispatches
385
00:32:32,578 --> 00:32:36,206
ever since the Empire ceded control of
the Outer Reach.
386
00:32:36,707 --> 00:32:40,127
Forty years, no one's ever responded.
387
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:42,880
Well, we're here now.
388
00:32:43,589 --> 00:32:44,590
Ta-da.
389
00:32:46,383 --> 00:32:47,843
Do you drink needle tea?
390
00:32:48,552 --> 00:32:52,222
I'm told it's socially irresponsible
not to on Siwenna.
391
00:32:53,182 --> 00:32:55,267
Just so. Yes.
392
00:33:10,699 --> 00:33:11,700
Bel.
393
00:33:37,518 --> 00:33:41,104
I see you've found my books.
I collect them.
394
00:33:43,357 --> 00:33:47,861
Since you're men of valor, you may find
that particular one of interest.
395
00:33:48,362 --> 00:33:51,949
Two massive armies gathering
to destroy one another
396
00:33:51,949 --> 00:33:57,079
and a prince and his charioteer debating
the rationale of war.
397
00:34:04,962 --> 00:34:07,214
I've never actually seen a book.
398
00:34:08,382 --> 00:34:11,802
Most haven't. Books are for old men.
399
00:34:13,011 --> 00:34:14,804
Past glories are poor feeding,
400
00:34:14,804 --> 00:34:18,308
and half the stories told
about the old days are mythical anyway.
401
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:22,020
Drink, drink.
402
00:34:23,938 --> 00:34:25,399
Here's to those who fight.
403
00:34:25,399 --> 00:34:27,734
Here's to those who fight and ask why.
404
00:34:30,487 --> 00:34:32,656
He's right. That's the toast.
405
00:34:33,949 --> 00:34:37,619
An important addition from someone
who clearly asks why.
406
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:43,792
Now, we've had two visitations
by these so-called Magicians.
407
00:34:43,792 --> 00:34:48,088
The first gentleman was killed by
the local constabulary.
408
00:34:48,922 --> 00:34:50,132
The second, though...
409
00:34:53,969 --> 00:34:56,722
Behold the Spirit's shield!
410
00:35:00,809 --> 00:35:03,979
Wait. Is that a personal aura?
411
00:35:03,979 --> 00:35:07,649
Extrapolated from Imperial design, apparently.
412
00:35:08,901 --> 00:35:12,863
All the representatives of
this Galactic Spirit wear one.
413
00:35:17,242 --> 00:35:22,623
Do any of these representatives mention
the Foundation?
414
00:35:26,919 --> 00:35:30,339
The Vault opened. The Prophet emerged.
415
00:35:30,339 --> 00:35:35,093
He spoke. And those who heard his words
were forever changed.
416
00:35:36,803 --> 00:35:38,388
What do you know of this "Vault"?
417
00:35:38,388 --> 00:35:42,434
The rumor has it it contains
the spirit of the late Dr. Seldon.
418
00:35:43,018 --> 00:35:46,188
Evolutionary AI was banned centuries ago.
419
00:35:46,188 --> 00:35:50,734
Yes. So was jump technology,
absent Imperial use.
420
00:35:50,734 --> 00:35:53,737
What are you saying?
These Magicians are folding space?
421
00:35:54,404 --> 00:35:56,073
Well, judge for yourself.
422
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:05,624
They call them whisper-ships.
423
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:09,878
Purportedly,
they navigate without Spacers.
424
00:36:09,878 --> 00:36:11,004
How?
425
00:36:11,004 --> 00:36:13,549
Organic computing, perhaps.
426
00:36:13,549 --> 00:36:19,137
But if you believe the rumors, these ships
literally have a mind of their own.
427
00:36:19,137 --> 00:36:21,849
A ship like this could
jump right on to Trantor's doorstep.
428
00:36:21,849 --> 00:36:22,933
Yeah, if they're real.
429
00:36:24,101 --> 00:36:28,230
Until we witness one ourselves,
these whisper-ships are just that.
430
00:36:29,147 --> 00:36:30,440
Whispers.
431
00:36:35,362 --> 00:36:38,323
Barr! Get your ass out here!
432
00:36:39,241 --> 00:36:41,577
You and your two pretty boys from Trantor!
433
00:36:42,411 --> 00:36:43,871
The local constabulary.
434
00:36:45,330 --> 00:36:46,373
Fuck.
435
00:36:51,712 --> 00:36:53,380
That will take you to the roof.
436
00:36:55,007 --> 00:36:56,216
Here. Take this.
437
00:36:56,884 --> 00:36:59,219
- No, I can't.
- Yes, you can.
438
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:02,681
And now, I need you to shoot me, please.
439
00:37:02,681 --> 00:37:04,975
- What?
- I've lived a long life.
440
00:37:04,975 --> 00:37:09,980
I have no desire to suffer torture at
the hands of my old f-f-friends out there.
441
00:37:10,898 --> 00:37:12,441
If it's any consolation,
442
00:37:12,441 --> 00:37:17,404
I already poisoned myself
with the lichen I smoked.
443
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:23,243
But a particle beam to the head
will surely be more dignified.
444
00:37:23,994 --> 00:37:25,162
Please?
445
00:37:32,336 --> 00:37:33,337
Thank you.
446
00:38:26,849 --> 00:38:28,851
I do hope you'll take some wine.
447
00:38:29,601 --> 00:38:33,856
A Cassiopeaen d'Abruzzo.
An excellent vintage.
448
00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:40,362
- And your tea, Brother Constant.
- Thank you.
449
00:38:41,738 --> 00:38:44,575
- Poly?
- Since the Prophet is offering.
450
00:38:48,787 --> 00:38:50,789
Is that what I think it is?
451
00:38:55,043 --> 00:38:56,503
The Prime Radiant?
452
00:38:56,503 --> 00:38:58,672
- Yes.
- But how?
453
00:38:59,256 --> 00:39:02,092
Salvor Hardin left with it
over a century ago.
454
00:39:02,092 --> 00:39:05,345
Surely something so complex
is more than molecules.
455
00:39:06,597 --> 00:39:08,432
Always curious, Poly.
456
00:39:11,059 --> 00:39:16,064
The Prime Radiant is a quantum computer
that exists in a state of superposition.
457
00:39:16,773 --> 00:39:19,735
Meaning it exists in two places at once?
458
00:39:19,735 --> 00:39:21,904
You could think of it that way, yes.
459
00:39:21,904 --> 00:39:23,238
Prophet.
460
00:39:23,238 --> 00:39:25,282
Dr. Seldon, please.
461
00:39:25,282 --> 00:39:26,366
Doctor.
462
00:39:27,784 --> 00:39:31,246
Tell us how we can serve.
Prevent what war with whom?
463
00:39:31,246 --> 00:39:35,542
Empire.
It's the Second Crisis, long anticipated.
464
00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:38,712
Dr. Seldon,
I have been making preparations.
465
00:39:38,712 --> 00:39:40,797
- You'll find we're quite ready--
- Fuck, Sef.
466
00:39:41,632 --> 00:39:46,386
Enough mongering.
If war can be prevented, let's hear how.
467
00:39:46,386 --> 00:39:47,763
Thank you, Poly.
468
00:39:49,097 --> 00:39:53,143
I need them to go to Trantor
and open diplomatic relations.
469
00:39:53,143 --> 00:39:55,354
I take it you know how to sell Foundation.
470
00:39:55,354 --> 00:39:57,105
Seven planets so far.
471
00:39:57,105 --> 00:39:58,565
This is graduation day.
472
00:39:58,565 --> 00:40:00,859
Give them the sermon of your lifetime.
473
00:40:00,859 --> 00:40:05,155
Make them fall in love with us
and delay this war as long as you can.
474
00:40:05,155 --> 00:40:09,743
An agent of peace. Yes.
That's something worth being.
475
00:40:10,577 --> 00:40:13,956
You have by now developed
small jumpships beyond the Empire's ken?
476
00:40:13,956 --> 00:40:15,624
Yes. We have.
477
00:40:15,624 --> 00:40:18,752
Don't use one to journey there.
They don't need to know everything yet.
478
00:40:18,752 --> 00:40:21,338
We'll buy passage
on one of their jumpships.
479
00:40:21,338 --> 00:40:24,132
We're honored to be envoys in your name,
Dr. Seldon.
480
00:40:35,644 --> 00:40:37,896
The honor is mine, my loyal child.
481
00:40:41,817 --> 00:40:45,487
Director Sermak, again, fine suit.
482
00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:51,368
Now, time is crucial,
so speed you on your way.
483
00:40:51,368 --> 00:40:53,245
I need a word apart with you.
484
00:40:53,245 --> 00:40:54,413
With me?
485
00:40:54,413 --> 00:40:56,540
You'll be fine. We'll be just outside.
486
00:40:58,458 --> 00:40:59,459
Come on, Father.
487
00:41:12,806 --> 00:41:14,224
Something on your mind, Poly?
488
00:41:14,933 --> 00:41:17,644
It's just Jaegger.
489
00:41:20,355 --> 00:41:21,356
Jaegger?
490
00:41:21,356 --> 00:41:24,443
The warden you incinerated.
Why did you kill him?
491
00:41:24,443 --> 00:41:25,736
Well, I had to.
492
00:41:27,070 --> 00:41:31,408
For a god to be effective you have
to be intermittently wrathful.
493
00:41:32,534 --> 00:41:36,413
Besides,
I heard the warden on my doorstep.
494
00:41:36,413 --> 00:41:41,001
How long before he declared himself
the only holy vessel worthy of my spirit.
495
00:41:41,627 --> 00:41:43,003
So it was...
496
00:41:45,005 --> 00:41:46,006
divine judgment.
497
00:41:48,425 --> 00:41:51,386
Let no being presume upon my mercy.
498
00:42:18,622 --> 00:42:20,290
Can I ask you something personal?
499
00:42:22,835 --> 00:42:24,211
Am I leaving here alive?
500
00:42:24,211 --> 00:42:25,754
Of course.
501
00:42:25,754 --> 00:42:28,799
For that to be effective,
you'd need witnesses.
502
00:42:30,050 --> 00:42:33,470
No,
you're here because you have influence.
503
00:42:33,470 --> 00:42:34,680
I have influence?
504
00:42:35,556 --> 00:42:38,600
A passing ghost dropped your name.
505
00:42:39,101 --> 00:42:40,102
A ghost?
506
00:42:41,103 --> 00:42:42,187
Tell me your story.
507
00:42:43,856 --> 00:42:46,108
I was born on Smyrno.
508
00:42:47,818 --> 00:42:51,154
Educated almost entirely
at the college of my father's fists,
509
00:42:51,154 --> 00:42:53,448
but I got myself out.
510
00:42:53,448 --> 00:42:57,035
I attended that college too.
I also got myself out.
511
00:42:57,870 --> 00:43:00,205
I assume you did so via dishonest means.
512
00:43:02,207 --> 00:43:05,794
Yeah. Might've sold a few questionable
relics, finger bones, and whatnot.
513
00:43:05,794 --> 00:43:07,546
And you're clearly guilt-stricken.
514
00:43:07,546 --> 00:43:10,424
Oh, come on. The Church of Seldon.
515
00:43:10,424 --> 00:43:12,843
Isn't that part of
the same big confidence game?
516
00:43:12,843 --> 00:43:15,679
You've got priests claiming
they can perform miracles.
517
00:43:16,471 --> 00:43:18,724
Now,
I'm still not sure what that's feeding.
518
00:43:19,308 --> 00:43:20,893
It's feeding growth, Hober.
519
00:43:21,476 --> 00:43:25,272
The developmental stage that
all successful civilizations go through.
520
00:43:25,272 --> 00:43:27,274
Although, some never escape it.
521
00:43:27,858 --> 00:43:32,112
The church will fall away with time
and be replaced...
522
00:43:34,281 --> 00:43:35,574
by another mechanism.
523
00:43:36,158 --> 00:43:38,952
But your skepticism will
serve you well on this mission.
524
00:43:39,661 --> 00:43:41,413
Those I'm asking you to treat with,
525
00:43:41,413 --> 00:43:46,668
they're rightfully wary and not likely
to respond well to the spiritual approach.
526
00:43:46,668 --> 00:43:48,420
So, you're not sending me
527
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:52,090
with the drunk and the monk
to sell peace to Empire?
528
00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:53,175
No.
529
00:43:53,175 --> 00:43:56,887
Your mission is separate,
and one might say, counterposed.
530
00:43:57,429 --> 00:44:01,266
The person who extends
an open hand in friendship
531
00:44:01,266 --> 00:44:04,394
had better have a blade
in a fist behind his back.
532
00:44:06,522 --> 00:44:07,689
Yeah, I can be a blade.
533
00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:14,279
All right. Where am I being thrust?
534
00:44:30,671 --> 00:44:32,422
I didn't think you were coming.
535
00:44:34,842 --> 00:44:36,093
He's reluctant.
536
00:44:37,511 --> 00:44:40,305
We hear you may be able
to help us with our inquiries.
537
00:44:41,932 --> 00:44:43,642
You may bare your face.
538
00:44:43,642 --> 00:44:47,271
Our Handman has a field disrupter.
Speak freely.
539
00:44:47,896 --> 00:44:50,732
That doesn't matter.
They give us weekly memory audits.
540
00:44:50,732 --> 00:44:53,694
I'm recording us right now
just by being here.
541
00:44:53,694 --> 00:44:54,903
Not to worry.
542
00:44:56,029 --> 00:44:58,615
My own Enjoiner Rue returned
to us from Trantor years ago
543
00:44:58,615 --> 00:45:00,117
with an Empire-tampered memory.
544
00:45:00,117 --> 00:45:03,453
My people developed technology
to block or reverse a memory wipe.
545
00:45:03,453 --> 00:45:04,746
Fool a memory audit.
546
00:45:05,873 --> 00:45:07,374
You truly are safe.
547
00:45:19,052 --> 00:45:21,805
- What's your name?
- Markley.
548
00:45:23,098 --> 00:45:25,392
I don't know if I can help you,
Your Highness.
549
00:45:26,768 --> 00:45:28,812
What do you want?
550
00:45:29,897 --> 00:45:30,939
And what can you pay?
551
00:45:31,523 --> 00:45:35,110
I command the treasury of Dominion.
Your price will be met.
552
00:45:37,863 --> 00:45:41,325
I want to know if Cleon XVII had
a hand in the deaths of my family.
553
00:45:44,203 --> 00:45:47,789
I don't know exactly how to find out,
but I know where to begin.
554
00:45:51,126 --> 00:45:52,169
Good enough for now.
555
00:45:54,087 --> 00:45:55,464
And while you're digging,
556
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,842
I'd like to understand how Day
survived an attack
557
00:45:58,842 --> 00:46:00,427
from the galaxy's best assassins.
558
00:46:02,846 --> 00:46:04,765
Find me the visual records of the attempt.
559
00:46:42,302 --> 00:46:45,305
- It's dark out. How long was I in there?
- We've been waiting for three years.
560
00:46:45,305 --> 00:46:46,974
- Huh?
- Three hours.
561
00:46:46,974 --> 00:46:48,809
You can never just play along, can you?
562
00:46:58,569 --> 00:47:00,571
I guess that's our cue to hightail it.
563
00:47:00,571 --> 00:47:02,698
We'll set out to Trantor immediately.
564
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:07,703
We'll take the Spirit to the Upsilon
Outpost and get a transporter from there--
565
00:47:08,203 --> 00:47:11,748
I'm not going to Trantor. Yeah,
the doc's got a different job for me.
566
00:47:13,834 --> 00:47:14,918
I thought we'd be together.
567
00:47:14,918 --> 00:47:18,297
Yeah. Sorry.
He told me I should take your ship.
568
00:47:18,922 --> 00:47:21,049
- The Spirit Rising?
- He said you'd balk at the idea,
569
00:47:21,049 --> 00:47:24,344
but he's already put my coordinates into
the ship's guidance system, okay?
570
00:47:24,344 --> 00:47:26,054
It's, you know, it's very hush-hush.
571
00:47:26,054 --> 00:47:28,223
Of course, you can take the Spirit.
572
00:47:29,892 --> 00:47:32,060
Just don't overfeed her.
573
00:47:32,060 --> 00:47:33,645
- Who?
- Beki.
574
00:47:41,945 --> 00:47:44,281
I'll go and collect our belongings.
575
00:47:51,205 --> 00:47:52,206
You'll be fine.
576
00:47:53,498 --> 00:47:54,791
She senses I like you.
577
00:47:59,463 --> 00:48:00,797
You all right, Brother?
578
00:48:01,632 --> 00:48:02,633
Of course.
579
00:48:03,926 --> 00:48:06,136
It's just our parting is unexpected.
580
00:48:07,846 --> 00:48:09,014
I had other hopes.
581
00:48:10,891 --> 00:48:12,768
We were getting to know each other.
582
00:48:12,768 --> 00:48:15,103
You were gonna grow fond of me,
and eventually,
583
00:48:15,103 --> 00:48:17,856
add me to your list of bedpartners
that the Prophet mentioned.
584
00:48:21,902 --> 00:48:22,903
I was?
585
00:48:26,281 --> 00:48:27,908
I'm not generally a robe chaser.
586
00:48:27,908 --> 00:48:30,327
And then you'd be first on my list
of bedpartners.
587
00:48:30,327 --> 00:48:31,411
Brother...
588
00:48:33,747 --> 00:48:35,582
I'm honored, but you're a woman of virtue.
589
00:48:36,542 --> 00:48:38,126
Honestly, I'm not.
590
00:48:39,002 --> 00:48:40,128
Not in that way.
591
00:48:41,129 --> 00:48:44,132
I'm just a woman of small opportunities
and particular likes.
592
00:48:46,218 --> 00:48:47,678
It will happen when it happens.
593
00:48:48,345 --> 00:48:51,932
Yeah. Well, for the record,
I'd prefer to be, say,
594
00:48:53,350 --> 00:48:55,143
tenth on the list.
595
00:48:55,143 --> 00:48:57,187
I just don't like to be first in general.
596
00:48:57,187 --> 00:49:00,274
You saw that. Dragged me kicking
and screaming into that Vault.
597
00:49:00,274 --> 00:49:02,568
I'd like to think that our consummation
598
00:49:02,568 --> 00:49:04,653
would've been
a pretty different experience.
599
00:49:07,447 --> 00:49:08,490
Hey, look.
600
00:49:10,367 --> 00:49:13,370
Maybe the doc will
bring us all back here afterwards.
601
00:49:14,037 --> 00:49:15,831
I can't help feeling that this is it.
602
00:49:17,749 --> 00:49:19,209
And it's a shame. I don't--
603
00:49:21,753 --> 00:49:23,630
I'm not attracted to many people.
604
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:26,466
Of course not. Why would you be?
I mean, people are terrible.
605
00:49:27,301 --> 00:49:28,468
Maybe you expect too much.
606
00:49:29,803 --> 00:49:32,055
See how you're an optimist
even though you don't think so?
607
00:49:33,056 --> 00:49:35,893
Yeah, that's how I know
I'm gonna figure out your name.
608
00:49:36,768 --> 00:49:37,936
Calliope.
609
00:49:38,478 --> 00:49:41,190
- No, it's Brucilla-- Drucilla.
- No.
610
00:49:41,190 --> 00:49:45,736
You're clear to go, Mallow.
It's been mercifully brief.
611
00:49:53,285 --> 00:49:54,745
Good luck at your coordinates.
612
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,084
Yeah. Good luck making peace with Empire.
613
00:50:02,961 --> 00:50:03,962
Myrna?
614
00:50:05,088 --> 00:50:06,089
Fifi?
615
00:50:07,090 --> 00:50:08,091
Desdarrhea?
616
00:50:12,387 --> 00:50:13,555
- Wenus?
- Yes.
617
00:50:13,555 --> 00:50:14,640
- Wenus.
- No.
618
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:15,724
No.
619
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,106
You have a generous heart.
620
00:51:12,781 --> 00:51:17,661
With few exceptions, attraction
is entirely irrelevant to human history.
621
00:51:18,537 --> 00:51:21,832
It only matters on the small scale
of the human heart.
