[narrator]
Previously on Star Trek: Discovery:

00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,755
[Lorca]
Discovery is now the only Starfleet ship
3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,957
with a displacement-activated
spore hub drive.
4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:10,509
[gasping, then laughing]
5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,240
He injected himself
with the tardigrade DNA compound.
6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,836
- [Tyler] Here.
- [Lorca] What's your name?
7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,036
Lieutenant Ash Tyler.
8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,230
[insect skittering]
9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,075
You'd take food from the only two men
standing between you and death?
10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,750
Damn right, I would.
11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,360
[neck cracks]
12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,313
Now shall we proceed to our raider?
13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,400
[grunts] No.
14
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,630
[shouting and grunting]
15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,919
[Lorca] Get up, soldier. Get up.
16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,151
I'm slowing you down, sir. Go.
17
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,197
[Burnham] Personal log,
Specialist Michael Burnham.
18
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,039
Stardate 2136.8.
19
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,118
Despite my fears to the contrary,
20
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,159
I seem to have found my place
on this Discovery.
21
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,074
An air of routine has descended
upon the ship,
22
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,674
and even I am a part of it.
23
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,230
I've made friends.
24
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,996
Well, one, at least.
25
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,311
I take comfort in my work.
26
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,915
This ship has quickly become
the most important weapon
27
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,789
in the Federation's arsenal
in our war against the Klingons.
28
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,554
And because of her,
the tide has turned.
29
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,120
Because of us, we are winning.
30
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,390
Lieutenant Stamets' ability
to pilot the ship's spore drive
31
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,517
has given him access
notjust to all of space,
32
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,434
but to unseen parts
of his personality, as well.
33
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,197
As we perform our daily responsibilities,
34
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,431
I confess I find some members
of my fellow crew
35
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,671
more interesting than others.
36
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,480
Lieutenant Tyler has suffered so much,
and still maintains dignity and kindness.
37
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,315
I find him... intriguing.
38
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,959
But I fear my personal history interferes
with my ability to forge relationships.
39
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,037
I am among the others, but also apart.
40
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,077
I wish sorely
to step out of my comfort zone,
41
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,674
yet don't know how.
42
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,993
But tonight I will face
one of my greatest challenges so far.
43
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,314
Tonight we are having a party.
44
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,992
[Wyclef Jean's "We Trying to Stay Alive"
playing over speakers]
45
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,391
One, two, three, go.
46
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,639
[all cheering]
47
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,677
[all chanting] Go, Tilly. Go, Tilly.
48
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,672
Go, Tilly. Go, Tilly.
49
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,040
Go, Tilly.
50
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,952
[music stops, all booing and groaning]
51
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,959
[music resumes, all cheering]
52
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,640
What's your deal?
53
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,112
Starships have power redundant relays.
54
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,353
- There shouldn't be any flickering.
- No, not work. I'm talking about him.
55
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,872
You guys have been on two dates.
What's going on? I want details.
56
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,634
I helped him calibrate pulse scope rifles
in the armory,
57
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,712
and we ate lunch together,
because it was the end of our shift.
58
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,111
Hey, listen, you gotta give him a sign
that you're interested.
59
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,431
Otherwise, you're gonna lose your shot.
60
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,959
Duly noted, when I'm actually on a date,
which these were not.
61
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,793
Well, how...? How do you see him?
62
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,470
How does he stack up,
compared to your old boyfriends?
63
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,074
How does he compare to yours?
64
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,153
Well,
I used to exclusively go for soldiers.
65
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,233
I'm kind of going through,
like, a musician phase right now.
66
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,720
[Tyler] Everyone, hey.
67
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,519
We're all lucky to be here tonight,
68
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,910
surrounded by our brothers
and sisters in arms.
69
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,994
Laughing. Dancing.
70
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,834
But let's not forget the sacrifices
that have been made
71
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,389
- by those who still serve alongside us...
- Cheers.
72
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,360
and by those who have given their lives,
so we can continue the fight.
73
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,558
- [all applauding]
- To the 10,000 souls who are gone,
74
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,155
- but will never be forgotten.
- [man] Never. Yes.

Hey, Tilly. What are you up to?
79
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,600
Leaving.
80
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,395
You guys have fun.

- Your friend's subtle.
- Inappropriately so.

00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,313
please report to the bridge.

To be clear,
90
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,753
I wasn't attempting to be rude.
91
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,755
It's just that my experience
with parties is limited.
92
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,071
- Easy, I get it.
- [man] Your left, please.
93
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,192
Vulcans don't party? The Shenzhou?
You served for seven years.
94
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:02,840
Due to my rank,
interpersonal fraternization was...
95
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,311
not appropriate.
96
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,110
Not really an excuse anymore.
So, why are you still hiding in corners?
97
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,355
I'm sorry, lieutenant.
98
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,920
I'm sorry, Dr. Culber.
99
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,234
Why would you apologize
for a random act of physical interaction?
100
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,676
These are the moments that make life
so gloriously unpredictable.
101
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,235
You're a very tall man.
102
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,916
I believe you met Lieutenant Tyler.
He's our new chief of security.
103
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,232
May I say,
you are astonishingly grounded
104
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,880
for having endured
seven months of torture.
105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,957
I deeply apologize for my partner.
106
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,874
Lately, he's been, um...
107
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,958
- different.
- Speaking of different,
108
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,079
look at this cybernetic augment
that my resident genius here built for me.
109
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,799
We're trying to make his connection
110
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,590
- to the spore drive more comfortable.
- You're always looking out for me.
111
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,957
By the way,
what's the deal with you two?
112
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,990
There is no deal.
113
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,197
Burnham would hate
to be inappropriate.
114
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,916
Coming, Burnham?
115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,229
What did he mean by that?
116
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,159
- What did you mean by that?
- Okay.
117
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,311
Captain, the unidentified signal
I monitored is directly ahead.
118
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,993
Yellow alert, Mr. Saru.
119
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,196
Shields up.
120
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,397
- Phasers on standby.
- Copy that. Topping up.
121
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,870
Scanners identify the object
as biological.
122
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,920
Xenologic classification, gormagander.
Its health appears to be compromised.
123
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,753
Cancel yellow alert, Mr. Saru.
124
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,111
Thought those had been hunted
to extinction.
125
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,351
Hunting isn't the cause
of its reduced numbers.
126
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,474
It's primarily due
to their mating practices or lack thereof.
127
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,553
They spend their lives feeding
on alpha particles in solar winds.
128
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,475
They are often so consumed by this task
that they ignore all other instincts.

00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,194
Including reproduction.
130
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,636
That's as depressing a trait
as I've ever heard.

The gormagander is
on the endangered species list.

Protocol requires transfer
to a xenologic facility.
134
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,110
Then have at it.

a lonely gormagander beaming in.

- Unharmed.

- She reports four confirmed fatalities.
- Tell her not to engage the hostile.

Mudd.
158
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,117
Did you really think that you could
leave me to rot in a Klingon prison
159
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,998
and not suffer any repercussions?
160
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,230
As soon as I find out
what's so special about your ship,
161
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,038
I'm gonna sell it to the Klingons.
Do you hear me, captain?
162

I'm gonna sell your ship
to your mortal enemy.
163
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,996
And in so doing,
164
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,911
destroy any chance your Federation has
of winning this war.
165
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,320
When you left me behind
with the Klingons,
166
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,154
you robbed me of my dear,
sweet Stella.

The only woman I have ever loved.
168
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,473
And I will have my revenge.
169
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,955
Also, I'm gonna kill you
as many times as possible.
170

I don't see this ending
with you taking my ship.

Not this time.

for the next, so...

I'm gonna help you in any way at all,

then you're crazier than I remember.
349

Mudd is using some kind of technology
that allows him

00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,595
to repeat the same 30 minutes,
over and over.

to sell the ship to the Klingons.

But how are you capable
of existing outside of the time loop?
356

Well, the tardigrade
is a multidimensional creature.
357
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,194
So, it must be a side effect
of combining its DNA with mine.
358

- Yes, so, you remember everything.
- Yes.
359
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,275
And it's getting really hard
to keep it straight.
360

I can't stop Mudd alone, Burnham.
361
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,071
And sooner or later,
he's going to figure out
362

from the spore drive.

Maybe Tyler might,
because they shared a cell together.

00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,475
Molecular locks.
516
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,636
Daily DNA password protection.
517
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Mudd claimed
to have memorized the security patterns.
518
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,116
I thought it was just another one
of his lies.
519
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,840
But I guess if he had
an unlimited number of tries...
520
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,832
Did he say how he did it?
521
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,916
Something about
a nonequilibrial matter state.
522
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,830
A time crystal.
523
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,396
We learned about these
at the Vulcan Academy.
524
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,480
But the decay rate
of the lattice is too unpredictable.
525
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,439
No Federation-aligned species
has been able to stabilize them.
526
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,200
A four-dimensional race
527
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,480
must have perfected the technology,
and now Mudd has it.
528
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,271
[Tyler] Why don't we track Mudd, see
if he's wearing one of these crystals?
529
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,440
Any idea where he is?
530
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Let's go.
531
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,277
Has that fish
beamed aboard safely yet?
532
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,876
Well, technically, it's not a fish, it's...
533
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,480
Mm-hm.
534
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,552
Where the hell are Burnham
and Tyler?
535
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,080
[triumphant orchestral music
playing over speakers]
536
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,916
Mr. Saru?
537
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,912
I'm locked out of the ship's controls.
538
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,920
Computer.
539
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,476
Computer, respond.
540
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Let me see what I can do.
541
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,152
Computer, reduce volume,
so we can have a normal conversation.
542
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,437
- [computer] Yes, Captain Mudd.
- "Captain Mudd"?
543
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,117
I never thought I would say this,
but I'm actually tired of gloating.
544
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,833
In any case, this is very much my ship.
545
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,797
Your ship?
546
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,395
- Very much not at all.
- All right, show's over, Mudd.
547
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,795
- Back to...
- To the brig.
548
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,558
I do not know how you wrested control,
but you are in violation...
549
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,553
Of code 7.5.3.
550
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,950
Yes. You've said many times.
551
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,036
At any rate, tell me, lanky,
have you ever seen one of these?
552
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,917
Of the 823 ways there are
to die in space,
553
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,632
this is rumored to be the most painful.
554
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,232
I found them
in your former captain's man cave.
555
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,391
Apparently,
the weaponized dark matter
556
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,351
rips molecules apart
at the subatomic level.
557
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,674
So, if any of you are planning
on becoming heroes,
558
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,391
including you,
random communications officer man,
559
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,511
you'll find
there's very little I don't know.
560
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,557
Now just sit tight.
561
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,310
This won't hurt a bit.
562
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,589
[Tyler] Mudd.
563
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,118
Whoa. [chuckles]
564
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,840
Seem to have missed.
565
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,796
Well, that was new.
566
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,433
Let's not suffer any more losses.
567
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,751
- Please.
- [Mudd] Okey-doke. Listen up.
568
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,278
One of you is going to teach me
how this damn drive works...
569
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,715
or the bean pole dies screaming.
570
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,194
So, how do I start that engine?
571
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Hmm?
572
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,756
I will disintegrate every single one
of you...
573
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,671
in a screaming fit of agony,
574
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,920
one at a time,
575
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,840
starting with you.
576
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,716
Stop.
577
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,713
I can't watch you kill any more people.
578
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,359
It needs me to work.
579
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,720
Delicious.
580
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,755
Shall we to the engine room? Computer.
581
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Pump up the volume.
582
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,556
[music resumes]
583
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,472
Destination: Engineering.
584
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Toodles.
585
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,718
Tilly, where are you?
586
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,911
So, did I die, too?
587
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,072
We all died many times.
588
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,111
But now Mudd has everything
that he needs.
589
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,032
If we can't stop him,
he'll let Discovery
590
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,715
rejoin the time stream,
sell the ship to the Klingons.
591
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,993
Anyone who's dead will stay dead.
592
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,753
And Starfleet loses the war.
593
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,557
I noticed that Mudd was wearing a crystal
on his wrist.
594
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,471
But it's too small to generate enough
energy for chronal displacements.
595
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,871
- There has to be a larger energy source.
- Oh, okay.
596
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,236
Uh... Uh, I got something.
597
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,390
Um...
598
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,516
I'm sending it to you.
599
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,073
[sighs] Poor thing.
No wonder you feel bad.
600
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,996
Mudd hid the ship inside the creature,
and the crystal inside the ship.
601
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,836
This crystal,
it has the same orthogonal indices
602
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,037
as the device on Mudd's wrist.
603
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,035
Can we beam it over to the deck
to disable it?
604
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,113
No, because Mudd has control
of all the critical systems.
605
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,600
We're running out of time.
606
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,320
Now that Mudd knows how
to work the spore drive,
607
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,990
the only way is to get Mudd
to reset time himself.
608
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,958
You said he has no reason
to restart time.
609
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,918
He has everything the Klingons want.
610
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
No, he doesn't.
611
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,637
Captain's log, stardate 2137.2.
612
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:26,918
Captain Harcourt Fenton Mudd
recording.
613
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,114
I am about to close the deal
of the millennium.
614
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,200
[door beeps]
615
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,080
Enter.
616
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,720
[Burnham] You seem at home.
617
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:41,875
Should've been a captain.
618
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,600
I'm neither one for following orders
nor giving them.
619
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,632
The solar winds are my mistress,
and I follow her wherever she beckons.
620
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,196
And what about Stella?
621
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,760
What?
622
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,639
Oh, yes. Oh, Stella.
623
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:56,276
The love of my life.
624
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,874
Ah, Stella.
625
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,994
The war took her from me.
626
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,194
Never have two souls been
so star-crossed.
627
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,920
Romantic? Yes.
628
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:05,951
Tragic? Ha.
629
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,355
Even more so.
630
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,034
But the best of romances always are,
aren't they?
631
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Are you done?
632
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,840
Almost. Computer,
633
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,560
please, send our location
to the awaiting Klingon ship,
634
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,314
- courtesy of Harry Mudd.
- [computer] Coordinates sent.
635
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,078
- Now I'm done.
- Klingons will pay a lot to win this war.
636
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,555
But there is one thing
they would pay more for.
637
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,080
Oh, really?
638
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,191
Me. I murdered T'Kuvma,
the Klingon messiah.
639
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,713
That's absurd.
I checked the officers manifest.
640
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,029
You're a nobody.
641
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,440
I'm not an officer.
642
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:41,920
I'm Michael Burnham.
643
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,536
- Computer, confirm.
- [computer] Identity confirmed.
644
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,870
Captain Mudd,
the alien ship is hailing...
645
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,520
- Quiet.
- You'll get a lot of money for this ship.
646
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,796
But what would I be worth to them?
647
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,320
Oh.
648
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,920
Oh, yes.
649
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,200
More.
650
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,039
Much, much more.
651
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,156
But why are you telling me this? Hmm?
652
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,356
What's in it for you?
653
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,310
Lieutenant Tyler.
654
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,718
Lieutenant Tyler is dead.
655
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,475
Not for long.
656
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,560
What? No.
657
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,955
[shouts]
658
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,279
- [computer] Captain Mudd.
- Damn it.
659
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,477
We are being hailed by the Klingons.
660
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,269
Son of a...
661
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,400
[inaudible dialogue]
662
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,675
Captain Mudd.
663
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,400
What's this?
664
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Your chair.
665
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
What's happening?
666
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,474
You. Hmm. You've been cheating.
667
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,834
You've been passing notes in class
to save your friends.
668
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,355
Well, whatever you think
you've come up with,
669
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,512
I'll find a workaround.
I'll keep resetting time until I do.
670
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,719
Nobody beats Mudd.
671
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,756
Lieutenant Stamets has shown us
your success is a universal certainty.
672
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,390
Using considerable
scientific methodology.
673
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,710
This must end for all of our sakes.
674
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,196
So, Harcourt Fenton Mudd...
675
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,319
the U.S.S. Discovery is yours.
676
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,400
As am I.
677
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,191
You win.
678
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,280
[chuckles]
679
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,400
- Don't try and con a con man.
- [Lorca] I'm not.
680
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,511
I'm negotiating with a businessman.
681
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,195
My offer's simple.
682
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,194
The lives of my crew in exchange for...
683
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,396
Burnham, the ship, and Stamets.
684
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,154
Why would a Federation captain
do that?
685
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,832
I will not have a repeat of the Buran.
686
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,394
We will do whatever
our new owners require,
687
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,232
if I have your word that
you will spare the ship's complement.
688
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,189
Your word, Mudd.
689
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,913
Well, I've never been one
to look a gift captain in the mouth.
690
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,199
You have my word. [chuckles]
691
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,680
Excellent. Excellent, good.
692
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,319
- Computer.
- [computer] Working.
693
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,594
Send our coordinates
to the awaiting Klingon vessel,
694
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,319
courtesy of Harry Mudd.
695
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,029
Sending, Captain Mudd.
696
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,878
Now... [clears throat]
this is your last chance to stop me.
697
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,353
Only got about 30 seconds
until we rejoin the time stream,
698
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,511
and there is no turning back.
699
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,350
[computer] Captain,
incoming warp signature detected.
700
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,831
I never thought I'd be so happy
to see those pointy-headed bastards.
701
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:35,275
Oh! Look at this.
Five, four, three, two, one.
702
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,749
[computer] Captain Mudd,
703
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,116
- we are being hailed by the Klingons.
- Excellent.
704
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,630
- Welcome our guests onboard.
- Acknowledged.
705
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,200
Two to beam aboard.
706
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,351
Energize once
I reach the transporter room.
707
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,035
Come along. Meet your new masters.
708
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,237
Ah-ah-ah. Not you, old man.
709
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,232
Lorca, I'm gonna really miss killing you.
[chuckles]
710
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,400
[Mudd speaks in French]
711
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,635
- You seem very happy.
- Listen, petunia,
712
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,071
I've been screwed over since the day
I was born. I deserve this.
713
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,193
So, it wasn't about Stella after all?
714
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,999
It was always only about you.
715
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,510
You keep talking about how you lost her
because of the war,
716
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,633
but her father's an arms dealer
who's made a fortune off it.
717
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,800
Finding either of them
shouldn't be that difficult,
718
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,592
- unless you don't want to.
- I never told you about Barron Grimes.
719
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,798
No, but Discovery's archives
are non-critical systems.
720
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,557
You probably should've disarmed them,
as well.
721
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,872
Now you don't have your time crystal.
Can't learn from this mistake.
722
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,600
And it turns out that
Stella's been looking for you.
723
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,752
So much so
that her father put out a reward.
724
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,320
You aren't running to Stella.
725
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,834
You've been running from her.
726
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,600
Skipped out on the Barron's daughter
with her dowry.
727
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,795
Stella was too tempting a mark
for you to resist.
728
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,951
Ripping off her father
was a risky move.
729
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,158
[Burnham] No wonder you needed
the deal with the Klingons so bad.
730
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:57,310
You had to disappear.
731
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,996
And you almost pulled it off,
except for me,
732
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,190
'cause I exist
outside the normal time stream.
733
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,319
You think you're so smart.
734
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:11,350
Have you forgotten the Klingons are
beaming their way here as we speak?
735
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,518
Hmm? You can forget about that deal
I made with Lorca.
736
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,114
You geniuses have just condemned
your crewmates to a life of servitude.
737
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,715
Harry, the Klingons aren't coming.
738
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,199
I rewired the captain's chair.
739
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,351
[Burnham] Another non-critical system.
740
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,872
You didn't send coordinates
to your buyers.
741
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,394
You sent them to Stella...
742
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,360
and her daddy.
743
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,437
Turns out you can con a con man.
744
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,200
[Tyler] Let's go.
745
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,553
Computer, cancel transporter now.
746
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:45,640
[computer] Denied.
747
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,435
Harcourt.
748
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,392
Where have you been?
749
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,870
I have been so worried about you.
750
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,593
Oh. It's been, oh, such a tumultuous year.
[chuckles]
751
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,433
I can't even begin to explain.
752
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:05,720
Try.
753
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:07,240
Yes. Yes.
754
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,834
Of course.
755
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,599
You know how much you meant to me.
756
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,680
Mean.
757
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,993
How much you mean to me.
758
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,514
But to be brutally honest,
759
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,673
I have led a life marred by...
Oh, how shall we say?
760
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,799
Poor choices, debt.
761
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,396
All kinds of blemishes to my reputation.
762
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,517
And I couldn't enter into union with you
763
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,957
with those pocks upon my character,
so, I set out to eliminate them.
764
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,196
But, alas, my plan was led astray.
765
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,790
Harry,
I have always known who you are.
766
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,034
And I've never cared.
767
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,358
We could've faced
those problems together, and...
768
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,351
Daddy would've taken care
of everything else.
769
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,760
Consider it a consolidation
of your debt under one lender.
770
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,110
I would do anything for my daughter,
771
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,791
and she, for better or worse,
772
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,470
has taken to you, Mudd.
773
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,193
And now thanks to the action
of these officers,
774
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:05,916
you can finally make
an honest woman of Stella.
775
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,118
As for Starfleet, I don't intend
to be in debt to your organization.
776
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,080
How do I repay you?
777
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,114
Just make sure Mr. Mudd spends the rest
of his days at your daughter's side,
778
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:19,560
and out of Starfleet's way.
779
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,040
Consider it done.
780
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,158
Come here, Harcourt, you naughty boy.
781
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,594
- Hey.
- Hey.
782
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,714
Stamets told me in a previous timeline,
that we, um...
783
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:57,880
danced.
784
00:43:58,800 --> 00:43:59,800
Yeah.
785
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,192
Yeah, he mentioned that to me, too.
786
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,155
He said I liked it.
787
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,520
I can't imagine.
788
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,080
Why?
789
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,520
I'm a really good dancer.
790
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,477
- I didn't mean...
- Easy, Burnham.
791
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:24,240
I get it.
792
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,040
[door opens]
793
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,676
What I'm feeling...
794
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,556
is complicated...
795
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,520
and strange.
796
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,120
It's okay.
797
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,075
I'm not going anywhere.
798
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,440
What is it?
799
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,272
I'm just sad we missed our first kiss.
800
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,675
[door opens]
801
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,990
[Burnham] Personal log.
802
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,595
Just as repetition reinforces repetition,
803
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,715
change begets change.
804
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,434
I guess the truth is
805
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,352
we never really know what's coming.
806
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,000
Sometimes the only way
to find out where you fit in
807
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,756
is to step out of the routine.
808
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,079
Because sometimes
where you really belong
809
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,675
was waiting
right around the corner all along.
