Not if you let me have it.

to bring L'ak back,

00:32:50,533 --> 00:32:52,971
I know, I'm a doctor,
not a physicist, but...

534
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,320
this will work.

535
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,930
I can't explain it,
I just feel it.

536
00:32:55,930 --> 00:32:57,453
Trust me, please.

537
00:32:57,453 --> 00:32:59,020
Okay, Doc.

538
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:01,588
Synchronizing now.

539
00:33:09,204 --> 00:33:10,727
Come on.

540
00:33:13,339 --> 00:33:15,123

541
00:33:15,123 --> 00:33:17,343
Whoo! [laughs]

542
00:33:17,343 --> 00:33:19,562
How the heck did you know that?

543
00:33:19,562 --> 00:33:22,217
<i>SHUTTLE COMPUTER:

[crashing]

545
00:33:24,393 --> 00:33:26,265
Well, we won't survive
much more of that.

546
00:33:26,265 --> 00:33:27,831
Can you get us out of here?

547
00:33:27,831 --> 00:33:29,833
Uh... um, it's taking
all the power we need

548
00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:31,052
to keep the portal steady.

549
00:33:31,052 --> 00:33:33,489
So, what, we just... hold on?

550
00:33:33,489 --> 00:33:35,317
Michael's in there,
we can't let go.

551
00:33:38,929 --> 00:33:41,410
<i>NHAN:
Sir, we have a new

<i>We have 30 seconds to leave</i>

553
00:33:42,411 --> 00:33:44,326
or they'll destroy us.

554
00:33:48,983 --> 00:33:51,812
Primarch Tahal, I came here
because I believed

555
00:33:51,812 --> 00:33:53,466
you would have the courage

556
00:33:53,466 --> 00:33:56,164
to take a step toward a future
with the Federation,

557
00:33:56,164 --> 00:34:00,125
but you are just as cowardly as
our admirals believed you to be.

558
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:03,389
We will leave now
knowing that truth.

559
00:34:05,695 --> 00:34:08,524
<i>No, Ambassador,
you will not leave.</i>

560
00:34:08,524 --> 00:34:10,178
<i>You have sealed your fate.</i>

561
00:34:10,178 --> 00:34:13,181
If you take my life
and continue this expedition,

562
00:34:13,181 --> 00:34:16,097
you will never claim
the throne of the Imperium.

563
00:34:16,097 --> 00:34:19,057
I may have arrived as
an emissary of the Federation,

564
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:22,625
but I am Kelpien
first and foremost.

565
00:34:22,625 --> 00:34:25,628
My species are predators,

566
00:34:25,628 --> 00:34:27,674
and I've studied you like prey.

567
00:34:27,674 --> 00:34:29,458
Your bases in the L'Tar Nebula

568
00:34:29,458 --> 00:34:31,504
were rumored
in Federation intelligence.

569
00:34:31,504 --> 00:34:34,594
Now I know they exist, or you
would have welcomed our help

570
00:34:34,594 --> 00:34:36,509
to secure a trade route.

571
00:34:36,509 --> 00:34:39,773
<i>Clever, yet I fail to see
why that should intrigue me.</i>

572
00:34:39,773 --> 00:34:42,906
Because, Primarch,
I have the ear

573
00:34:42,906 --> 00:34:45,170
of numerous planets
in that region.

574
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:49,478
Even now, many are preparing to
attack your bases without mercy

575
00:34:49,478 --> 00:34:52,177
unless I order them
to stand down.

576
00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:54,614
<i>They would lose
thousands of lives.</i>

577
00:34:54,614 --> 00:34:56,094
And you will be weakened,

578
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,096
allowing the other Primarchs
to strike.

579
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:00,881
That will cost you the throne.

580
00:35:00,881 --> 00:35:02,752
The only way to avoid
such an outcome

581
00:35:02,752 --> 00:35:06,147
is to turn your fleet around.

582
00:35:06,147 --> 00:35:08,149
<i>You are bluffing.</i>

583
00:35:08,149 --> 00:35:09,977
<i>You do not have
this kind of power.</i>

584
00:35:09,977 --> 00:35:11,892
Don't I?

585
00:35:12,936 --> 00:35:16,026
Look into my eyes
and tell me if you see

586
00:35:16,026 --> 00:35:20,509
even the slightest
glimmer of doubt.

587
00:35:24,513 --> 00:35:26,646
<i>You are insane.</i>

00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:33,087
They're changing course.

590
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,525
Remind me to never play you
in Ferengi rummy.

00:35:36,525 --> 00:35:38,788
[sighs]

592
00:35:40,094 --> 00:35:41,965
Do you really think that's it?

593
00:35:41,965 --> 00:35:45,491
She would like us
to believe as much.

594
00:35:45,491 --> 00:35:47,145
Take us out of warp.

595
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,972
We should cloak
and watch carefully.

this out on their own,

and all they knew
is what they saw.

Here, in this place.

It's the negative space.

624
00:37:54,010 --> 00:37:56,622

Dead? Yes.

637
00:39:36,504 --> 00:39:39,899
My species went extinct
billions of years ago.

638
00:39:39,899 --> 00:39:45,731
But our minds--
yours and mine-- are here,

639

in this liminal space-time
adjacent to my own.

Why did you bring me here?

641
00:39:53,173 --> 00:39:56,306
It is my duty
to share instructions

642
00:39:56,306 --> 00:39:58,483
on how to operate
this technology.

643
00:39:58,483 --> 00:40:01,529
It's going to take you
some time to learn.

- We should begin.
- Wait.

645
00:40:04,010 --> 00:40:07,840
I'm sorry, uh...

646
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,713
We'll definitely
get to that, but...

647
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:13,802
whatever's happening,

648
00:40:13,802 --> 00:40:15,456
whatever this place is doing
to my space-time,

649
00:40:15,456 --> 00:40:16,544
can it be stopped?

650
00:40:16,544 --> 00:40:18,111
Stopped?

651
00:40:18,111 --> 00:40:22,420
Yes, Moll, the person
that I came here with,

652
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:24,944
she used the interface,

653
00:40:24,944 --> 00:40:28,469
she activated something,
it's altering gravity

654
00:40:28,469 --> 00:40:31,254
in my space-time.

655
00:40:31,254 --> 00:40:34,519
My crew, my friends,
they're all in danger.

656
00:40:34,519 --> 00:40:37,478
You engaged the safety protocol,

657
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:39,654
but your friend Moll did not.

658
00:40:39,654 --> 00:40:41,351
But she'll likely survive.

659
00:40:41,351 --> 00:40:42,744
They all have time.

660
00:40:42,744 --> 00:40:44,442
Wait, I...

661
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,053
I don't know if you understand.

662
00:40:47,053 --> 00:40:49,664
Time functions
differently in here.

663
00:40:49,664 --> 00:40:51,753
In your present moment,

664
00:40:51,753 --> 00:40:54,277
the technology is merely
gathering the power

665
00:40:54,277 --> 00:40:56,671
it requires to perform
its function:

666
00:40:56,671 --> 00:40:59,631
designing and creating life.

667
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:03,112
Can it be used to restore life?

668
00:41:03,112 --> 00:41:06,289
A new being can replace
a lost one.

669
00:41:06,289 --> 00:41:11,120
But though the new replacement
would be genetically identical,

670
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,472
it would share
none of its memories,

671
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:17,387
none of its fundamental essence.

672
00:41:17,387 --> 00:41:21,304
Still, the speed of creation
is adjustable,

673
00:41:21,304 --> 00:41:24,482
as is scale,
if you wish to try.

674
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:27,528
Wait, if speed and scale
can be controlled,

675
00:41:27,528 --> 00:41:29,878
somebody can use this
to engineer an army.

676
00:41:29,878 --> 00:41:32,751
A brick is just a brick.

677
00:41:32,751 --> 00:41:35,318
It can create a home

678
00:41:35,318 --> 00:41:37,103
or destroy a body.

679
00:41:37,103 --> 00:41:40,802
That's why we chose
only to seed life.

680
00:41:40,802 --> 00:41:42,543
You may have seen evidence of it

681
00:41:42,543 --> 00:41:44,414
in the tunnel
that brought you here.

682
00:41:44,414 --> 00:41:46,721
Those were all worlds
you created?

683
00:41:46,721 --> 00:41:48,288
No.

684
00:41:48,288 --> 00:41:50,333
We found them here.

685
00:41:51,596 --> 00:41:53,772
You found them?

686
00:41:57,036 --> 00:41:58,733
You didn't build this?

687
00:41:58,733 --> 00:42:01,649
We theorize that
whoever created this

688
00:42:01,649 --> 00:42:04,304
created us.

689
00:42:04,304 --> 00:42:07,394
But perhaps it goes
even further back.

690
00:42:07,394 --> 00:42:10,092
A cycle of creators
and creations,

691
00:42:10,092 --> 00:42:12,094
countless times over,

692
00:42:12,094 --> 00:42:15,010
this place predates them all.

693
00:42:15,968 --> 00:42:18,144
Come.

694
00:42:18,144 --> 00:42:20,755
I have something to show you.

00:42:29,285 --> 00:42:31,287
I'm holding on
until <i>Discovery</i> gets here.

698
00:42:31,287 --> 00:42:33,246
Or this shuttle comes apart.

699
00:42:35,291 --> 00:42:36,771
- You should let me beam you out.
- Book...

700
00:42:36,771 --> 00:42:38,207
You have a family, Hugh.

701
00:42:39,208 --> 00:42:41,036
I'll go if I have to.

702
00:42:42,211 --> 00:42:44,083
But I'm staying
as long as I can.

703
00:42:45,954 --> 00:42:50,219
How'd you know how to grab it?
The portal?

704
00:42:51,917 --> 00:42:53,571
A memory of Jinaal's.

705
00:42:54,615 --> 00:42:56,530
The scientists ran
into the same problem

706
00:42:56,530 --> 00:42:58,488
when they started to build
the Structure around it.

707
00:42:58,488 --> 00:43:00,142
I thought you didn't have
access to his memories.

708
00:43:00,142 --> 00:43:01,883
I don't.

709
00:43:03,537 --> 00:43:05,887
This is the first time
it's ever happened, and I'm...

710
00:43:07,672 --> 00:43:11,589
I'm sitting here, wondering:
Why that one?

711
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:13,634

Captain,

924
00:54:20,300 --> 00:54:23,303
I've reviewed the data
from your tricorder, and...

925
00:54:23,303 --> 00:54:26,915
it is not hyperbole to say
that this is...

926
00:54:26,915 --> 00:54:30,615
the greatest scientific
discovery of our lifetime.

927
00:54:32,356 --> 00:54:33,748
Yeah.

928
00:54:40,407 --> 00:54:43,062
I met one of the Progenitors.

929
00:54:47,066 --> 00:54:49,590
I saw
the last four billion years.

930
00:54:49,590 --> 00:54:51,940
And all
the incredibly complex events

931
00:54:51,940 --> 00:54:54,160
that had to happen
for me to be alive.

932
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,554
For any one of us,
each one of us

933
00:54:56,554 --> 00:54:58,773
to be alive

934
00:54:58,773 --> 00:55:01,254

935
00:55:03,387 --> 00:55:05,693
It was...

936
00:55:07,478 --> 00:55:09,218
...powerful.

937
00:55:10,176 --> 00:55:12,526
And I realized...

938
00:55:13,658 --> 00:55:15,312
...we already have
infinite diversity

939
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:17,314

940
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:20,055

you're not saying...

943
00:55:23,668 --> 00:55:24,930
we should leave it here?

944
00:55:24,930 --> 00:55:26,018
Oh, no.

945
00:55:26,018 --> 00:55:28,368
It's too powerful for one person

946
00:55:28,368 --> 00:55:31,458
or one culture
to access or control.

947
00:55:35,375 --> 00:55:37,464
I think

948
00:55:37,464 --> 00:55:39,597
we need to let it go.

949
00:55:40,554 --> 00:55:42,164
Captain, we have orders.

950
00:55:42,164 --> 00:55:43,905
We need to study it.

951
00:55:43,905 --> 00:55:45,472
W-We need to understand it.
I-It...

952
00:55:45,472 --> 00:55:47,648
This is not about your legacy,
Commander.

953
00:55:47,648 --> 00:55:49,520

- I'd give anything to see
the look on Vance's face

954
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,869
- when you tell him that.
- We have a duty...
- I understand.

955
00:55:50,869 --> 00:55:52,305
Stop.

956
00:55:54,742 --> 00:56:00,008
The Progenitor trusted me
to make this decision.

957
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:05,057
I'll talk to the admiral
and the president.

958
00:56:05,057 --> 00:56:07,364
I know they'll agree.

959
00:56:12,543 --> 00:56:14,936
It's the right thing to do.

960
00:56:22,161 --> 00:56:25,730
I get it... mostly.

961

a lot, right?
