1
00:00:26,243 --> 00:00:28,811
Previously on Star Trek: Picard
2
00:00:28,854 --> 00:00:31,292
For a relic,
you're in excellent shape.
3
00:00:31,335 --> 00:00:34,773
Just that little abnormality
in the parietal lobe.
4
00:00:36,123 --> 00:00:38,255
Index. Identify
this painting.
5
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:41,258
This painting
is called, "Daughter".
6
00:00:41,302 --> 00:00:43,086
Maddox's theory
7
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:45,088
was Data's entire code,
even his memories,
8
00:00:45,132 --> 00:00:48,091
could be reconstituted from
a single positronic neuron.
9
00:00:48,135 --> 00:00:53,096
You are something lovingly
and deliberately created.
10
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:55,098
You're telling me
that I'm not real.
11
00:00:55,142 --> 00:00:56,099
Which sister
12
00:00:56,143 --> 00:00:57,883
are you?
13
00:00:57,927 --> 00:00:59,320
The heart of
the Zhat Vash mission
14
00:00:59,363 --> 00:01:00,712
was hate and fear
15
00:01:00,756 --> 00:01:03,106
and pure loathing for any form
16
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:04,673
of synthetic life.
17
00:01:04,716 --> 00:01:06,544
I know who you are!
18
00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:08,285
You are the Destroyer!
19
00:01:08,329 --> 00:01:10,244
Thank you, Will,
20
00:01:10,287 --> 00:01:13,160
for not trying
to talk me out of all this.
21
00:01:13,203 --> 00:01:14,378
Believe me, I know better.
22
00:01:14,422 --> 00:01:16,380
The Romulans send in a mole,
23
00:01:16,424 --> 00:01:18,469
a half-Romulan Vulcan
24
00:01:18,513 --> 00:01:20,384
named Oh.
25
00:01:20,428 --> 00:01:22,734
I will take care of Picard.
26
00:01:22,778 --> 00:01:24,606
Nine years ago,
a Starfleet vessel
27
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:27,348
had first contact
with a pair of emissaries
28
00:01:27,391 --> 00:01:29,132
from a strange new world.
29
00:01:29,176 --> 00:01:31,352
The Zhat Vash
have been searching
30
00:01:31,395 --> 00:01:33,876
for this world ever since.
31
00:01:33,919 --> 00:01:35,704
Which they have now found
because of me.
32
00:01:35,747 --> 00:01:40,578
Ghulion system. Fourth planet.
33
00:01:40,622 --> 00:01:42,580
I'm home.
34
00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:43,755
Welcome, all of you.
35
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:45,888
Dr. Altan Inigo Soong.
36
00:01:45,931 --> 00:01:47,716
I take it my face
looks familiar.
37
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:49,239
I'm just trying to understand
38
00:01:49,283 --> 00:01:52,155
the logic of sacrifice.
39
00:01:52,199 --> 00:01:53,722
I don't like the sound of that.
40
00:01:57,813 --> 00:01:59,162
Starfleet Command,
41
00:01:59,206 --> 00:02:02,165
I have a first contact situation.
42
00:02:02,209 --> 00:02:04,472
The Federation
will listen to me.
43
00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:06,561
They didn't listen to him
after the attack on Mars.
44
00:02:06,604 --> 00:02:09,303
And they're not going
to believe him now.
45
00:02:09,346 --> 00:02:11,305
My mind to your mind.
46
00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:12,915
My thoughts to your thoughts.
47
00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:17,180
Fascinating.
48
00:02:17,224 --> 00:02:20,183
There is some sort of higher
synthetic beings out there.
49
00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:23,273
Dr. Soong and I have designed
a suitable beacon to summon them.
50
00:02:23,317 --> 00:02:25,797
To them, we're monsters.
A mother would die
51
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:26,929
for her children.
52
00:02:26,972 --> 00:02:28,844
Would you?
Yes.
53
00:02:28,887 --> 00:02:30,672
Their purpose is to seek out
54
00:02:30,715 --> 00:02:32,195
advanced synthetic life
55
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:35,329
and excise it from
the oppression by organics.
56
00:02:35,372 --> 00:02:38,419
You will become the
Destroyer after all.
57
00:02:38,462 --> 00:02:40,812
Take him away.
58
00:03:21,766 --> 00:03:23,942
Would the xBs be
better off dead?
59
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:29,513
Everyone hates them.
They have no home.
60
00:03:29,557 --> 00:03:31,254
They don't belong anywhere.
61
00:03:31,298 --> 00:03:32,951
Am I better off dead?
62
00:03:35,737 --> 00:03:37,869
I'm an xB. I have no home.
63
00:03:37,913 --> 00:03:39,958
I don't belong anywhere.
64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,703
Why don't I just put a phaser
to my head and get it over with?
65
00:03:45,747 --> 00:03:49,664
Because... I'd miss you.
66
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:33,490
Well.
67
00:04:33,534 --> 00:04:34,839
Have you found them?
68
00:04:34,883 --> 00:04:35,884
Yes. They're all here.
69
00:04:35,927 --> 00:04:38,365
Have you fucked any of them?
70
00:04:38,408 --> 00:04:39,540
Mm, not yet.
71
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:42,107
Killed any?
One.
72
00:04:42,151 --> 00:04:45,633
Well, I call that progress.
73
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:48,418
Come see my hiding place.
74
00:04:48,462 --> 00:04:51,421
Oceanfront. Crashing waves.
75
00:04:51,465 --> 00:04:53,336
You'll love it.
76
00:05:21,495 --> 00:05:23,671
Lucky you.
77
00:05:34,812 --> 00:05:35,944
I just wanted to see
78
00:05:35,987 --> 00:05:37,554
if you were okay.
79
00:05:37,598 --> 00:05:40,470
I will be when I'm set free.
80
00:05:40,514 --> 00:05:44,648
Picard, try to see this
from our point of view.
81
00:05:44,692 --> 00:05:47,956
You choose if we live.
You choose if we die.
82
00:05:47,999 --> 00:05:49,653
You choose.
83
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:51,481
We have no choice.
84
00:05:51,525 --> 00:05:54,049
You organics have
never given us one.
85
00:05:57,444 --> 00:06:00,925
To say you have no choice
86
00:06:00,969 --> 00:06:03,624
is a failure of imagination.
87
00:06:04,668 --> 00:06:06,627
Please,
88
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:11,501
don't let the Romulans turn
you into the monsters they fear.
89
00:06:11,545 --> 00:06:14,112
Stop them, Soji. Stop
building that beacon.
90
00:06:14,156 --> 00:06:17,115
Shut it down now.
91
00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:20,423
The beings you are attempting
to summon may well be
92
00:06:20,467 --> 00:06:25,733
your salvation, but they
will be our annihilation.
93
00:08:14,929 --> 00:08:17,932
You're telling me you want
to use those grenades
94
00:08:17,975 --> 00:08:20,282
to destroy flowers?
95
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:23,720
Ship-killing flowers that fly.
96
00:08:23,764 --> 00:08:25,200
No, not this time.
97
00:08:25,243 --> 00:08:27,637
I made my way out of the
nest, I can make my way back in.
98
00:08:27,681 --> 00:08:30,161
You have to stay here and bring
the weapons systems on line.
99
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:33,730
Our parents died
for this, Narek.
100
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:35,253
Many more gave their lives.
101
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:37,778
I found her, Narissa.
102
00:08:37,821 --> 00:08:39,649
Me. The family disgrace.
103
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:41,912
The Zhat Vash washout.
104
00:08:41,956 --> 00:08:44,698
I found Seb Cheneb.
105
00:08:50,268 --> 00:08:52,270
Well, go on, then.
106
00:08:53,315 --> 00:08:55,317
I have my work to do.
107
00:09:28,089 --> 00:09:31,614
Honestly, I'm a little afraid of it.
108
00:09:34,225 --> 00:09:38,055
Like, if I use it too much, it's gonna...
109
00:09:38,099 --> 00:09:40,275
eat my soul.
Well, luckily,
110
00:09:40,318 --> 00:09:41,885
you don't have a soul, so...
111
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:48,239
But what does it do?
Like, how do I even...
112
00:09:48,283 --> 00:09:50,241
Well, when Saga gave it to me,
she said,
113
00:09:50,285 --> 00:09:52,722
"You have to use
your imagination."
114
00:09:52,766 --> 00:09:55,072
Oh, she said that, did she?
Mm-hmm.
115
00:09:55,116 --> 00:09:56,659
Well, I don't have
one of those, either.
116
00:09:56,683 --> 00:09:58,902
Okay, well, Chris,
this is your ship.
117
00:09:58,946 --> 00:10:00,251
You know what's wrong with it.
118
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:02,950
It's not too complicated.
119
00:10:02,993 --> 00:10:04,995
Now, the intermix reactor is fused.
120
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:06,170
I need to unfuse it,
121
00:10:06,214 --> 00:10:08,651
which is impossible.
122
00:10:08,695 --> 00:10:10,673
I need to replace it, but
the maintenance replicator
123
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:14,918
is off-line because...
the intermix reactor
124
00:10:14,962 --> 00:10:16,833
is fused.
Mm.
125
00:10:16,877 --> 00:10:19,053
Well, just, you know,
give it a try.
126
00:10:20,881 --> 00:10:23,666
Okay. Fine, I'll do it.
I got a lot of imagination.
127
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:26,147
To you, everything's a hammer.
128
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:28,192
No. I'll do it.
129
00:10:35,069 --> 00:10:39,029
T-There's no kind
of trigger or-or switch.
130
00:10:39,073 --> 00:10:43,033
Hmm. Well, maybe
what-what she meant was
131
00:10:43,077 --> 00:10:45,688
you have to imagine the fix.
132
00:10:45,732 --> 00:10:47,385
Have you been, um,
133
00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:49,866
hitting the horgl again?
134
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:52,695
Visualize that it's
no longer fused.
135
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:55,132
You know, see the hole
patching itself.
136
00:11:04,838 --> 00:11:07,405
Whoa.
137
00:11:07,449 --> 00:11:09,973
Ay, caramba.
138
00:11:10,017 --> 00:11:13,194
Uh, what's happening?
139
00:11:15,762 --> 00:11:17,198
Nothing that makes any sense.
140
00:11:26,033 --> 00:11:27,861
Say it.
Say what?
141
00:11:27,904 --> 00:11:30,733
Mm, those three beautiful words.
142
00:11:32,996 --> 00:11:34,824
You were right.
Mm, just one more time.
143
00:11:34,868 --> 00:11:35,999
Piss off.
144
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:41,744
I know that sound.
145
00:11:48,969 --> 00:11:50,318
All of Bruce's work
146
00:11:50,361 --> 00:11:52,363
on the downloading
of consciousness
147
00:11:52,407 --> 00:11:55,453
into a synthetic body
should be on that machine.
148
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:57,847
Let's hope so.
We don't have much time.
149
00:11:57,891 --> 00:11:59,544
Mm-hmm.
150
00:11:59,588 --> 00:12:02,417
You know...
151
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:07,857
This really is a remarkable
act of self-sacrifice on your part.
152
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:10,251
But I suppose
153
00:12:10,294 --> 00:12:13,080
that's what mothers do, isn't it?
154
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:22,045
It's okay. It'll be okay.
155
00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:25,092
You can do this.
You have to do this.
156
00:12:28,878 --> 00:12:31,881
I'm not their mother, asshole.
157
00:12:31,925 --> 00:12:34,101
Someone's throwing rocks
at my ship.
158
00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:36,886
The abusive Romulan boyfriend.
159
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:38,322
Comms.
160
00:12:39,454 --> 00:12:41,021
Go ahead, throw it.
161
00:12:41,064 --> 00:12:43,414
I want to see what a photon
torpedo can do at this range.
162
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:45,895
I have 12 wide-dispersion
163
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:48,158
molecular solvent
grenade canisters.
164
00:12:50,334 --> 00:12:52,119
I'm throwing rocks.
165
00:12:52,162 --> 00:12:53,555
What do you want?
166
00:12:53,598 --> 00:12:55,185
And don't think we won't
kick your ass, dirtbag,
167
00:12:55,209 --> 00:12:57,994
because we will.
Raff.
168
00:12:58,038 --> 00:12:59,474
What are you doing here, snakehead?
169
00:12:59,517 --> 00:13:02,869
Trying to save the universe.
170
00:13:02,912 --> 00:13:06,220
We can keep fighting,
or we can work together.
171
00:13:06,263 --> 00:13:07,569
Stop what's coming for us.
172
00:13:08,875 --> 00:13:10,877
It's your call.
173
00:13:16,273 --> 00:13:19,494
JL. JL, come in.
174
00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:21,322
Damn it.
175
00:13:21,365 --> 00:13:23,890
They are building
some kind of transmitter.
176
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:26,327
They are signaling something
177
00:13:26,370 --> 00:13:28,372
to come here.
To do what?
178
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:29,591
We believe
179
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,549
synthetics are fated to destroy
180
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:32,942
all organic life.
181
00:13:32,986 --> 00:13:34,596
We call it, Ganmadan.
182
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,903
The place is on lockdown.
183
00:13:36,946 --> 00:13:38,165
Whatever that transmitter is,
184
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:39,882
they don't want anyone
interfering with it.
185
00:13:39,906 --> 00:13:42,299
The thing about Picard is...
186
00:13:42,343 --> 00:13:44,649
Yeah. Interfering
is definitely his thing.
187
00:13:44,693 --> 00:13:46,564
Try him again.
188
00:13:46,608 --> 00:13:50,046
JL, come in.
189
00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:53,571
Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, retired.
190
00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:55,095
Damn it.
I told you.
191
00:13:55,138 --> 00:13:56,444
They won't respond.
192
00:13:56,487 --> 00:13:58,359
The synthetics have
jammed all comms.
193
00:13:59,534 --> 00:14:01,057
Feldor stam torret.
194
00:14:01,101 --> 00:14:02,493
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
195
00:14:04,365 --> 00:14:05,975
I do. I very much
196
00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:07,672
choose to live.
Hold up, kid.
197
00:14:07,716 --> 00:14:09,370
We disarmed him, searched him.
198
00:14:09,413 --> 00:14:11,502
We may very well
have a common enemy
199
00:14:11,546 --> 00:14:13,330
coming for us. You're
gonna want to hear
200
00:14:13,374 --> 00:14:15,637
what he came here to say.
201
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:27,910
Altan, I...
202
00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:29,259
What are you doing?
203
00:14:29,303 --> 00:14:32,175
I'm transferring Saga's
memories into a V-module.
204
00:14:32,219 --> 00:14:34,699
As a memento for Arcana.
205
00:14:34,743 --> 00:14:37,311
But the damage to her optical processors
206
00:14:37,354 --> 00:14:39,704
corrupted the data stream and...
207
00:14:39,748 --> 00:14:42,229
Do you need something?
208
00:14:42,272 --> 00:14:43,665
Yes, I've been, um,
209
00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,599
I've been working on the
neural lace for your golem,
210
00:14:45,623 --> 00:14:47,408
but some of the files
are encrypted.
211
00:14:47,451 --> 00:14:51,412
And Bruce always said that your
crypto kung fu was the best.
212
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:53,283
Well...
213
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:56,330
Uh, okay, I'll, uh, see if
I can get into those files.
214
00:14:56,373 --> 00:14:58,027
Keep an eye on the transcoding rate.
215
00:14:58,071 --> 00:15:00,551
Got it.
216
00:15:23,444 --> 00:15:24,924
Sorry.
217
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:28,405
I still don't understand
why we're trusting him.
218
00:15:28,449 --> 00:15:30,451
His sister murdered Hugh.
219
00:15:33,062 --> 00:15:36,022
Good thing she didn’t come along, then.
220
00:15:36,065 --> 00:15:37,632
I don't like you.
221
00:15:37,675 --> 00:15:38,676
No?
222
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,461
How do you feel about Ganmadan?
223
00:15:40,504 --> 00:15:41,655
Because if we waste any more time
224
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:43,246
fighting each other, we will all die,
225
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:45,355
and then whether or not you
like me will matter even less.
226
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:47,598
Whoa, hold on.
227
00:15:47,642 --> 00:15:49,426
What is Ganmadan?
228
00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:50,993
What is the story?
229
00:15:51,037 --> 00:15:52,255
It's just that.
230
00:15:52,299 --> 00:15:53,996
A story.
231
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,476
A story of the end.
232
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:56,781
Of...?
233
00:15:56,825 --> 00:15:59,001
Everything.
234
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:01,569
Like Ragnarok or Judgment Day.
235
00:16:01,612 --> 00:16:03,658
An ancient myth.
236
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:05,094
Some say it dates back
237
00:16:05,138 --> 00:16:08,010
from long before our
ancestors first arrived on Vulcan.
238
00:16:08,054 --> 00:16:11,013
The story of Ganmadan
begins with two sisters.
239
00:16:11,057 --> 00:16:12,145
Twin khalagu.
240
00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:13,363
Demons.
241
00:16:14,582 --> 00:16:16,801
Twin demons who
come at the end of time
242
00:16:16,845 --> 00:16:18,475
to open the way and
unleash the ch'khalagu.
243
00:16:18,499 --> 00:16:21,458
Very bad demons.
One sister
244
00:16:21,502 --> 00:16:23,286
is called Seb Natan, the Foreteller.
245
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:26,811
She plays a drum made
from the skin of children.
246
00:16:26,855 --> 00:16:29,249
She strikes it with a chain of skulls,
247
00:16:29,292 --> 00:16:31,468
so hard and so long
248
00:16:31,512 --> 00:16:33,775
that her heart bursts from the effort.
249
00:16:33,818 --> 00:16:35,516
Mm.
250
00:16:37,387 --> 00:16:40,086
The other sister is called Seb Cheneb.
Seb Cheneb?
251
00:16:40,129 --> 00:16:42,175
Yeah, see, w-we know about her.
252
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:43,611
So you know that she carries a horn
253
00:16:43,654 --> 00:16:46,483
from a great pale
hellbeast called Ganmadan.
254
00:16:46,527 --> 00:16:48,790
You know when she
blows a blast on the horn,
255
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:51,271
it will unleash
all the ch'khalagu
256
00:16:51,314 --> 00:16:53,360
who have been waiting since
the beginning of time.
257
00:16:53,403 --> 00:16:55,536
You know the sky will crack,
258
00:16:55,579 --> 00:16:57,538
and through the crack in the sky
259
00:16:57,581 --> 00:16:59,496
the ch'khalagu
will come ravening.
260
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:02,412
You know about the
Thousand Days of Pain.
261
00:17:02,456 --> 00:17:04,066
You know the streets
will be slick
262
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:06,329
with entrails
of half-devoured corpses.
263
00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:09,376
You know the worlds will burn,
264
00:17:09,419 --> 00:17:11,682
and the ch'khalagu will feast,
265
00:17:11,726 --> 00:17:14,207
and nurse their bratson blood,
266
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:16,252
and pick their teeth with bones.
267
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:19,081
No, we did not know any of that.
268
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:21,344
But, I mean, do you really...
269
00:17:21,388 --> 00:17:24,173
you really believe
this is a-a prophecy?
270
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:26,262
No.
271
00:17:26,306 --> 00:17:28,221
I believe it's history.
272
00:17:30,658 --> 00:17:34,401
And the fascinating thing
about history is...
273
00:17:34,444 --> 00:17:37,230
it always repeats itself.
274
00:17:57,859 --> 00:17:59,382
At last,
275
00:17:59,426 --> 00:18:02,516
our great work
is nearly at an end.
276
00:18:09,305 --> 00:18:11,525
Molecular solvent grenades.
277
00:18:11,568 --> 00:18:12,569
Short fuse.
278
00:18:12,613 --> 00:18:14,832
Push button, throw.
279
00:18:14,876 --> 00:18:17,139
Intended for those orchids.
280
00:18:17,183 --> 00:18:19,315
Now the transmitter is
our target of opportunity.
281
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,230
Okay, h-hold on, hold on.
282
00:18:21,274 --> 00:18:23,580
How exactly are we planning
on getting ourselves
283
00:18:23,624 --> 00:18:25,321
back into Synthville?
284
00:18:25,365 --> 00:18:26,931
We walk in the front door.
285
00:18:30,979 --> 00:18:33,155
Oh! Hey. Hi.
286
00:18:33,199 --> 00:18:34,461
And how are we gonna do that?
287
00:18:34,504 --> 00:18:36,158
By bringing them
the Romulan secret agent
288
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:37,638
that killed their beloved Saga.
289
00:18:40,206 --> 00:18:41,903
I still don't like you.
290
00:18:41,946 --> 00:18:43,557
Check it out, you guys.
291
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,274
Look who we found sneaking around last night.
292
00:18:45,298 --> 00:18:47,517
Thought you might want him back.
293
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:50,172
So, how are we gonna
blow the transmitter?
294
00:18:50,216 --> 00:18:51,826
A single, concentrated blast.
295
00:18:51,869 --> 00:18:53,523
Remote detonation.
296
00:18:53,567 --> 00:18:55,482
Sounds like we need
a delivery system.
297
00:18:55,525 --> 00:18:57,179
A drone.
298
00:18:57,223 --> 00:18:58,311
Your weapons?
Oh, of course.
299
00:19:00,661 --> 00:19:03,316
The molecular solvent.
It's stable?
300
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,839
Until it's detonated.
301
00:19:04,882 --> 00:19:07,450
Except in metal, so the
container needs to be, uh,
302
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:08,451
carbon fiber, ceramic.
303
00:19:08,495 --> 00:19:10,279
Bags.
304
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:11,628
Oh. Certainly.
305
00:19:11,672 --> 00:19:13,500
You bet.
306
00:19:13,543 --> 00:19:15,521
And with the transporter
block the synths have in place,
307
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:17,286
we can't beam anything in or out.
308
00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:18,940
So, we'll need a way to conceal it.
309
00:19:26,469 --> 00:19:27,427
Do you play?
310
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,646
Oh, I love the game.
Ha.
311
00:19:29,690 --> 00:19:31,300
All right, let's go.
312
00:19:31,344 --> 00:19:33,302
Thanks.
313
00:19:40,570 --> 00:19:42,485
Picard?
314
00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:45,314
Admiral Picard. Hello?
315
00:19:45,358 --> 00:19:47,273
Are you...
Still here.
316
00:19:47,316 --> 00:19:48,491
Okay.
317
00:19:48,535 --> 00:19:50,319
They're about to power up the beacon.
318
00:19:50,363 --> 00:19:52,843
We have to hurry.
319
00:19:52,887 --> 00:19:54,323
What is this?
320
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:55,759
I'm busting you out.
321
00:19:57,935 --> 00:20:00,547
I honestly thought I was
the worst secret agent ever,
322
00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:03,376
but I'm starting to believe I may have a gift.
No... Where are we going?
323
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:04,899
Back to La Sirena.
324
00:20:04,942 --> 00:20:08,511
Come on, we've got to move
while they're still distracted.
325
00:20:08,555 --> 00:20:10,600
Synthetic matrix complete.
326
00:20:10,644 --> 00:20:14,735
Ready to receive neural engrams.
327
00:20:37,366 --> 00:20:38,889
The tower's almost active.
328
00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:40,302
We need to get
a clear line of sight
329
00:20:40,326 --> 00:20:42,066
on the superluminal
tuner at the base.
330
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:44,852
How are we gonna get up
there without being seen?
331
00:20:44,895 --> 00:20:46,723
An excellent question.
332
00:20:50,727 --> 00:20:52,729
I guess they
went looking for us?
333
00:20:52,773 --> 00:20:53,837
We'll worry about that later.
334
00:20:53,861 --> 00:20:55,428
Status report on the Romulans.
335
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:57,517
Uh... Come on, Doctor.
336
00:21:00,955 --> 00:21:04,088
Uh, the attack wing is
seven minutes from planetfall.
337
00:21:04,132 --> 00:21:05,742
Any sign of Starfleet?
338
00:21:05,786 --> 00:21:07,918
No, but even if your
message got through,
339
00:21:07,962 --> 00:21:09,572
they'd still be
behind the Romulans.
340
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:12,358
We've got to find a way
to stall them somehow.
341
00:21:12,401 --> 00:21:14,795
And, of course, hope
that the Federation arrives.
342
00:21:14,838 --> 00:21:16,840
Yeah? And then?
343
00:21:16,884 --> 00:21:19,626
I mean, say we do find a way
to hold off the Romulans.
344
00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:21,105
We save Soji.
345
00:21:21,149 --> 00:21:23,127
Now she and the golden children
are free to call up
346
00:21:23,151 --> 00:21:25,719
the uber-synths,
and then vapor and ash.
347
00:21:25,762 --> 00:21:27,938
A galactic-level biocidal event.
348
00:21:27,982 --> 00:21:29,655
Well, clearly, we've got to stop them, too!
349
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:31,377
They've left us behind, Picard.
350
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:32,987
They're generations beyond us.
351
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:34,989
In one sense, yes.
352
00:21:35,032 --> 00:21:38,775
But in another, as you said,
they are children.
353
00:21:38,819 --> 00:21:40,603
And until now, the only teachers
354
00:21:40,647 --> 00:21:42,779
that they've had
are a couple of hermits.
355
00:21:42,823 --> 00:21:44,607
And the fear of extermination.
356
00:21:44,651 --> 00:21:47,784
But fear is
an incompetent teacher.
357
00:21:47,828 --> 00:21:50,352
Yes. They have life.
358
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:53,616
But no one is teaching them
what it's for.
359
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:56,532
To be alive is a responsibility.
360
00:21:56,576 --> 00:21:58,795
As well as a right.
How are they
361
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:00,667
supposed to learn
that lesson in...
362
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:02,886
six minutes and 11 seconds?
363
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:05,367
The way that children
learn most things.
364
00:22:08,109 --> 00:22:09,980
By example.
365
00:22:10,024 --> 00:22:12,679
Now...
366
00:22:12,722 --> 00:22:16,596
let's see how closely
I was watching Rios.
367
00:22:24,604 --> 00:22:26,040
All right.
368
00:22:27,128 --> 00:22:28,608
Make it so.
369
00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:44,972
Brothers and sisters,
370
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:47,583
as soon as the beacon is
at full capacity,
371
00:22:47,627 --> 00:22:50,673
we will begin transmitting.
And once the signal is received,
372
00:22:50,717 --> 00:22:51,848
a portal will open
373
00:22:51,892 --> 00:22:53,676
and our liberators will be here
374
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,678
nearly instantaneously.
375
00:22:55,722 --> 00:22:57,593
And then we'll be free.
376
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:01,423
Watch them.
377
00:23:11,477 --> 00:23:13,870
I wanted to return this to you.
378
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:17,439
You reasoned correctly
379
00:23:17,483 --> 00:23:19,659
that your fellow synthetics
needed persuading.
380
00:23:19,702 --> 00:23:23,140
An emotional jolt to
drive them to the decision
381
00:23:23,184 --> 00:23:24,707
you wanted them to make.
382
00:23:24,751 --> 00:23:26,056
To build the beacon.
383
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,885
I'm glad you see the
reason behind my actions.
384
00:23:28,929 --> 00:23:30,496
I do.
385
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:33,890
But reason isn't everything.
386
00:23:33,934 --> 00:23:37,024
How could you help that
Romulan kill your sister?
387
00:23:37,067 --> 00:23:39,940
I thought I taught you
better than this.
388
00:23:42,551 --> 00:23:44,901
Turns out...
389
00:23:44,945 --> 00:23:47,469
you're no better than we are.
390
00:24:02,136 --> 00:24:03,703
Ah, come on.
391
00:24:03,746 --> 00:24:05,835
Move, mija, move.
392
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:09,491
So, how do we hold off
393
00:24:09,535 --> 00:24:12,015
218 Warbirds till Starfleet
gets here?
394
00:24:12,059 --> 00:24:14,017
If they get here.
395
00:24:15,932 --> 00:24:18,674
Are you not answering
to build suspense, or...?
396
00:24:18,718 --> 00:24:21,155
At the present moment,
Dr. Jurati,
397
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:22,939
I am trying to pilot a starship
398
00:24:22,983 --> 00:24:25,507
for the first time
in a very long time,
399
00:24:25,551 --> 00:24:28,510
without exploding or crashing!
400
00:24:28,554 --> 00:24:30,120
If that is all right with you.
401
00:24:30,164 --> 00:24:31,861
No, totally, good call.
402
00:24:31,905 --> 00:24:34,037
One impossible thing at a time.
403
00:24:41,958 --> 00:24:43,743
Soji!
404
00:24:43,786 --> 00:24:45,962
Please! You don't have to do this!
405
00:24:46,006 --> 00:24:48,182
Soji! Please!
406
00:24:48,225 --> 00:24:50,053
You're making a mistake!
407
00:25:07,593 --> 00:25:08,855
Soji!
408
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:16,079
Launch detected.
409
00:25:16,123 --> 00:25:18,517
Attempting to acquire
weapons lock.
410
00:25:21,302 --> 00:25:23,565
Drop your weapon.
411
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:25,001
Over the edge.
412
00:25:27,177 --> 00:25:28,744
Step away from the console.
413
00:25:30,877 --> 00:25:32,574
I'm unarmed.Oh.
414
00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:36,012
I seriously doubt that.
415
00:25:36,056 --> 00:25:38,101
You know, you're rather pretty.
416
00:25:38,145 --> 00:25:39,755
Or would be.
417
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:42,062
If you weren’t a disgusting half-meat.
418
00:25:55,075 --> 00:25:56,250
Incoming warp signatures.
419
00:25:56,293 --> 00:25:58,252
Wouldn't happen
to be Starfleet, would it?
420
00:26:06,652 --> 00:26:10,090
General, they appear to be
concentrated in one settlement.
421
00:26:10,133 --> 00:26:13,136
Sterilize the entire planet.
422
00:26:29,109 --> 00:26:31,198
Here come the orchids.
423
00:26:31,241 --> 00:26:33,243
Let's see how much time
they can buy us.
424
00:26:59,966 --> 00:27:02,882
Sad Queen Annika.
425
00:27:02,925 --> 00:27:04,187
Six years old,
426
00:27:04,231 --> 00:27:06,755
and all she got for her
birthday was assimilated.
427
00:27:17,374 --> 00:27:19,812
Why didn't you just
put a phaser to your head
428
00:27:19,855 --> 00:27:21,117
and get it over with?
429
00:27:21,161 --> 00:27:23,293
Because I still
had this to live for.
430
00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:24,773
This...
431
00:27:24,817 --> 00:27:27,123
is for Hugh.
432
00:27:51,844 --> 00:27:53,844
Now might be a good time
to reveal the secret plan.
433
00:27:55,456 --> 00:27:57,066
Once these orchids have had it,
434
00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:58,478
there will still be
200 Romulan warships
435
00:27:58,502 --> 00:27:59,982
and only one of us.
436
00:28:00,026 --> 00:28:01,786
If you figure out a way
to get us out of this one,
437
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:03,464
they'll name it after you.
438
00:28:03,507 --> 00:28:05,161
Picard Maneuver.
439
00:28:05,205 --> 00:28:07,773
Wait, no, t... No, that's
actually a thing, isn't it?
440
00:28:07,816 --> 00:28:09,862
You made it look
441
00:28:09,905 --> 00:28:11,864
like the Enterprise was
in two places at once.
442
00:28:11,907 --> 00:28:13,039
It was the Stargazer,
443
00:28:13,082 --> 00:28:15,345
and it was a long time ago.
444
00:28:15,389 --> 00:28:18,174
It would be useless against
so many enemy vessels.
445
00:28:22,570 --> 00:28:25,355
We'd have to multiply
the sensor images
446
00:28:25,399 --> 00:28:28,358
and then find some
way to disperse them.
447
00:28:28,402 --> 00:28:31,361
Like an ancient warplane
scattering bits of mirror
448
00:28:31,405 --> 00:28:32,841
to overwhelm a radar system.
449
00:28:32,885 --> 00:28:34,408
Yeah, how the hell
will we do that?
450
00:28:34,451 --> 00:28:36,497
If only we had some kind
451
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:38,194
of wacky fundamental
field replicator
452
00:28:38,238 --> 00:28:40,762
with a neurocotamic interface.
453
00:28:41,981 --> 00:28:43,983
Look at my face.
454
00:28:52,426 --> 00:28:53,906
Picard, what are you doing?
455
00:28:53,949 --> 00:28:56,169
Soji, I want you to reconsider
456
00:28:56,212 --> 00:28:59,172
your present course of action
and power down the beacon.
457
00:28:59,215 --> 00:29:00,956
You know that's not
going to happen.
458
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,436
I... have something
459
00:29:02,479 --> 00:29:04,786
I want to give you
and your people.
460
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:08,268
And... I hope it will
change your mind.
461
00:29:10,270 --> 00:29:12,011
And what's that?
462
00:29:13,055 --> 00:29:14,404
My life.
463
00:29:14,448 --> 00:29:16,102
Picard out.
464
00:29:29,245 --> 00:29:32,945
Orbital defenses
neutralized, General.
465
00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:37,471
All ships, target
the abomination's nest.
466
00:29:41,954 --> 00:29:45,871
Ready? And they'll all
have warp signatures?
467
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:47,176
On my mark.
468
00:29:52,355 --> 00:29:54,357
What is that?
469
00:29:54,401 --> 00:29:55,924
Unknown vessel.
470
00:29:55,968 --> 00:29:57,099
Scanning now.
471
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,930
Ignore it.
472
00:30:01,974 --> 00:30:05,934
Ready planetary sterilization
pattern number five.
473
00:30:05,978 --> 00:30:07,370
Agnes, now.
474
00:30:07,414 --> 00:30:08,981
Now, now!
475
00:30:17,598 --> 00:30:19,295
General, there are
hundreds of them.
476
00:30:19,339 --> 00:30:22,821
Reposition disruptors.
Engage them.
477
00:30:38,619 --> 00:30:39,881
No!
478
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:58,595
Picard, are you all right?
479
00:31:00,032 --> 00:31:02,077
Oh, no.
480
00:31:22,097 --> 00:31:23,446
They have activated the beacon.
481
00:31:23,490 --> 00:31:26,188
Resume sterilization
targeting pattern.
482
00:31:29,322 --> 00:31:31,411
On my command.
483
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,079
They're here.
484
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:49,081
Admiral, you did it.
485
00:31:50,996 --> 00:31:52,084
General,
486
00:31:52,127 --> 00:31:53,563
their flagship is hailing us.
487
00:31:53,607 --> 00:31:55,652
Acting Captain Will Riker
488
00:31:55,696 --> 00:31:58,612
in command of the USS Zheng He.
And?
489
00:31:58,655 --> 00:32:00,527
And it is my duty to inform you
490
00:32:00,570 --> 00:32:02,374
that the United Federation
of Planets has designated
491
00:32:02,398 --> 00:32:05,140
Planet Ghulion IV
in the Vayt Sector
492
00:32:05,184 --> 00:32:07,751
as under the protection
of Starfleet.
493
00:32:07,795 --> 00:32:10,232
According to the terms
of the Treaty of Algeron.
494
00:32:10,276 --> 00:32:14,149
Too late. Our claim to this
world takes precedence.
495
00:32:14,193 --> 00:32:15,759
Move aside.
Afraid not.
496
00:32:15,803 --> 00:32:20,547
I have a priority request to
open diplomatic negotiations
497
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:24,072
and protection for
the inhabitants of Ghulion IV.
498
00:32:24,116 --> 00:32:26,074
General or Commodore
499
00:32:26,118 --> 00:32:27,989
or whatever
you're calling yourself,
500
00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:30,557
right now I'm on the bridge
of the toughest, fastest,
501
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,430
most powerful ship Starfleet
has ever put into service.
502
00:32:34,474 --> 00:32:36,345
And I've got a fleet
of them at my back.
503
00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:38,782
We've got our phasers locked
on your warp course.
504
00:32:38,826 --> 00:32:42,134
And nothing would make me
happier than you giving me
505
00:32:42,177 --> 00:32:46,442
an excuse to kick your
treacherous Tal Shiar ass.
506
00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:51,012
But instead,
I'm going to ask you one time
507
00:32:51,056 --> 00:32:53,188
to stand down.
508
00:32:55,408 --> 00:32:57,714
General. Your orders?
509
00:32:57,758 --> 00:33:00,413
Re-target weapons systems.
510
00:33:00,456 --> 00:33:02,458
Prepare to fight.
511
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:17,691
Weapons hot, deflectors to full.
512
00:33:28,702 --> 00:33:30,834
Picard?
513
00:33:37,624 --> 00:33:39,191
I know.
514
00:33:59,211 --> 00:34:00,386
I have to speak
515
00:34:00,429 --> 00:34:02,562
with Soji
516
00:34:02,605 --> 00:34:05,086
on an open channel.
517
00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:06,827
You're in no shape.
518
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:10,222
Get me some polisinephrine.
519
00:34:10,265 --> 00:34:11,701
20cc.
No.
520
00:34:11,745 --> 00:34:13,268
I-I... It will only
521
00:34:13,312 --> 00:34:15,270
hasten the inevitable.
522
00:34:16,619 --> 00:34:18,143
Do it.
523
00:34:28,936 --> 00:34:30,894
Open the channel.
524
00:34:30,938 --> 00:34:32,200
Now.
525
00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:34,550
Picard...
526
00:34:34,594 --> 00:34:37,162
Soji. Please,
527
00:34:37,205 --> 00:34:38,815
power down the beacon.
528
00:34:41,862 --> 00:34:45,735
Show them how profoundly
wrong they are about you.
529
00:34:45,779 --> 00:34:49,261
You're not the enemy.
You're not the Destroyer.
530
00:34:49,304 --> 00:34:50,740
If that doesn't convince them,
531
00:34:50,784 --> 00:34:53,134
then they will have to answer
to the Federation.
532
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:54,570
The same Federation
that banned us
533
00:34:54,614 --> 00:34:56,442
and threw us on the scrap heap?
534
00:34:56,485 --> 00:34:59,271
If we wanted
to destroy you, Soji,
535
00:34:59,314 --> 00:35:01,186
we would've joined forces
with the Romulans.
536
00:35:01,229 --> 00:35:03,666
We would be training our
phasers on you right now.
537
00:35:03,710 --> 00:35:05,320
We aren't. We won't.
538
00:35:05,364 --> 00:35:07,235
You know why?
539
00:35:07,279 --> 00:35:11,326
Because we trust you
to make the right choice.
540
00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:14,764
I trust you, Soji. I know you.
541
00:35:14,808 --> 00:35:18,159
I believe in you.
542
00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:22,685
That's why I saved your lives,
543
00:35:22,729 --> 00:35:26,298
so that you could
save ours in return.
544
00:35:26,341 --> 00:35:28,343
That's the whole point.
545
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,780
That's why we're here.
546
00:35:30,824 --> 00:35:33,348
To save each other.
547
00:36:05,772 --> 00:36:08,818
They destroyed the beacon.
548
00:36:08,862 --> 00:36:11,343
What are your orders?
549
00:36:15,564 --> 00:36:18,437
Captain, it looks like the
Romulans are standing down.
550
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,657
Excellent decision.
Stand down from red alert.
551
00:36:21,701 --> 00:36:25,226
Now prepare to be escorted
out of Federation space.
552
00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:26,923
That won't be necessary.
553
00:36:26,967 --> 00:36:29,535
Really, it's no trouble at all.
554
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:38,500
Will.
555
00:36:38,544 --> 00:36:40,720
How the...
When I heard you sent an SOS,
556
00:36:40,763 --> 00:36:42,678
I asked for temporary reassignment.
557
00:36:42,722 --> 00:36:45,290
Just because I didn't try
to talk you out of it
558
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:47,901
didn't mean I was gonna
let you go it alone.
559
00:36:47,944 --> 00:36:50,251
I'm supposed to sit around
in the woods making pizza
560
00:36:50,295 --> 00:36:51,992
while you have all the fun?
561
00:36:52,035 --> 00:36:54,560
Admiral Picard...
562
00:36:54,603 --> 00:36:58,259
I leave this situation
in your capable hands.
563
00:36:58,303 --> 00:37:03,003
Thank you, Will,
for always having my back.
564
00:37:04,047 --> 00:37:06,441
I learned from the best.
565
00:37:08,443 --> 00:37:10,402
I've got it from here.
566
00:37:10,445 --> 00:37:12,969
I'll see you around,
my friend. Riker out.
567
00:37:19,324 --> 00:37:21,282
Adieu.
568
00:37:28,942 --> 00:37:30,857
Picard.
569
00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:43,565
Doctor...
570
00:37:43,609 --> 00:37:45,088
Picard!
571
00:37:45,132 --> 00:37:47,090
Picard.
572
00:37:47,134 --> 00:37:49,745
Would you like
to finish it, Captain?
573
00:37:49,789 --> 00:37:51,312
No.
574
00:37:51,356 --> 00:37:54,924
I don't want the game to end.
575
00:37:54,968 --> 00:37:56,970
Picard!
576
00:37:57,013 --> 00:37:59,320
Goddamn it!
577
00:37:59,364 --> 00:38:02,323
It's all right.
578
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:04,934
Wait, what-what's happening?
W-What's wrong with him?
579
00:38:04,978 --> 00:38:06,806
His brain abnormality.
He's failing.
580
00:38:06,849 --> 00:38:08,416
Uh, can't you get him
to the med lab
581
00:38:08,460 --> 00:38:10,331
or a sick bay
on one of your ships?
582
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:14,335
There's no point,
is there, Doctor?
583
00:38:15,554 --> 00:38:17,599
No.
584
00:38:17,643 --> 00:38:19,122
I'm dropping
the transporter block.
585
00:38:19,166 --> 00:38:21,037
I'll beam you guys right here.
586
00:38:28,915 --> 00:38:30,786
No.
Ah, it's all right.
587
00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:32,353
It's all right.
588
00:38:32,397 --> 00:38:35,748
No.
What did you just do?
589
00:38:35,791 --> 00:38:38,446
I gave you a choice.
590
00:38:38,490 --> 00:38:43,016
Not being the Destroyer was up to you.
591
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:46,541
It always was.
592
00:38:57,552 --> 00:38:59,119
Elnor.
593
00:39:17,485 --> 00:39:18,834
Raffi.
594
00:39:18,878 --> 00:39:21,184
Yes, JL? I'm right here.
595
00:39:21,228 --> 00:39:24,405
You were quite right.
596
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,581
A-About what, JL?
597
00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:32,544
JL...
598
00:40:19,504 --> 00:40:21,810
You heard?
599
00:40:21,854 --> 00:40:23,856
Just now.
600
00:40:25,161 --> 00:40:27,642
Yeah.
That's what passes for alcohol here.
601
00:40:28,991 --> 00:40:30,993
I really don't recommend it.
602
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,005
I said I would never do it again
603
00:40:43,049 --> 00:40:45,138
and then I fucking did it again.
604
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:48,663
Same.
605
00:40:50,273 --> 00:40:51,753
Never again do what?
606
00:40:51,797 --> 00:40:53,581
Oh...
607
00:40:53,625 --> 00:40:54,800
Mm.
608
00:40:57,063 --> 00:40:59,761
So many things.
609
00:40:59,805 --> 00:41:02,547
But in this instance,
610
00:41:02,590 --> 00:41:08,161
never again kill somebody
just because it's what they deserve.
611
00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:14,733
Just because it feels wrong
for them to still be alive.
612
00:41:18,650 --> 00:41:20,652
You?
613
00:41:26,614 --> 00:41:28,311
Never again let another
self-righteous,
614
00:41:28,355 --> 00:41:31,619
hard-assed old starship
captain into my heart.
615
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:44,197
Never again have to stand
there and watch him die.
616
00:41:45,938 --> 00:41:50,725
Is there anything you could
have done to prevent it?
617
00:41:53,902 --> 00:41:56,731
No. I guess there wasn't.
618
00:41:56,775 --> 00:42:00,039
Hmm. Then I win.
619
00:42:56,922 --> 00:43:00,969
It's okay.
It's okay.
620
00:43:01,013 --> 00:43:03,319
Let it all out.
621
00:43:03,363 --> 00:43:05,887
You cry.
622
00:43:05,931 --> 00:43:08,324
I got you.
623
00:43:36,831 --> 00:43:41,227
Another damn dream.
624
00:43:41,270 --> 00:43:42,663
No, Captain.
625
00:43:45,013 --> 00:43:47,929
It is a massively complex
quantum simulation.
626
00:43:47,973 --> 00:43:50,845
I would imagine, however,
627
00:43:50,889 --> 00:43:52,717
from your point of view,
628
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,762
hearing me say so
would not be out of place
629
00:43:54,806 --> 00:43:56,764
in a dream you might have
about me.
630
00:43:58,723 --> 00:44:02,117
If you ever have
dreams about me.
631
00:44:02,161 --> 00:44:04,293
I dream about you all the time.
632
00:44:04,337 --> 00:44:07,427
Interesting.
633
00:44:07,470 --> 00:44:09,951
Are you wearing the clothes
you had on when you died?
634
00:44:16,349 --> 00:44:18,873
Data...
635
00:44:18,917 --> 00:44:20,832
am I dead?
636
00:44:20,875 --> 00:44:23,399
Yes, Captain.
637
00:44:26,054 --> 00:44:28,317
Do you remember dying?
638
00:44:28,361 --> 00:44:30,406
I think I do.
639
00:44:30,450 --> 00:44:33,148
Something in my head
640
00:44:33,192 --> 00:44:37,196
seemed to just go away.
641
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,329
Like a child's sand castle collapsing.
642
00:44:40,373 --> 00:44:42,723
Hmm.
643
00:44:42,767 --> 00:44:47,249
I'm aware that I
was killed in 2379,
644
00:44:47,293 --> 00:44:49,991
but I have no memory
of my death.
645
00:44:50,035 --> 00:44:51,993
My consciousness exists
646
00:44:52,037 --> 00:44:55,431
in a massively complex
quantum reconstruction,
647
00:44:55,475 --> 00:44:58,173
made from a copy
of the memories I downloaded
648
00:44:58,217 --> 00:45:00,349
into B4, just before I died.
649
00:45:00,393 --> 00:45:04,179
You don't remember your death?
I can't forget it.
650
00:45:04,223 --> 00:45:08,009
Apparently, I ended my existence
651
00:45:08,053 --> 00:45:10,185
in the hope of prolonging yours.
652
00:45:10,229 --> 00:45:13,319
That's right. Before I had even grasped
653
00:45:13,362 --> 00:45:15,016
the nature of our predicament,
654
00:45:15,060 --> 00:45:17,366
you had conceived and executed it.
655
00:45:17,410 --> 00:45:18,541
I was furious.
656
00:45:18,585 --> 00:45:20,892
My apologies, Captain.
657
00:45:20,935 --> 00:45:23,329
But I am not certain
I could have done otherwise.
658
00:45:23,372 --> 00:45:25,374
True. That might have been
659
00:45:25,418 --> 00:45:29,291
the most Data thing you ever did.
660
00:45:29,335 --> 00:45:31,946
I always wished that I could have said
661
00:45:31,990 --> 00:45:36,908
I was sorry that it was you and not me.
662
00:45:36,951 --> 00:45:41,869
Captain, do you
regret sacrificing
663
00:45:41,913 --> 00:45:44,002
your life for Soji
and her people?
664
00:45:44,045 --> 00:45:45,177
Not for an instant.
665
00:45:45,220 --> 00:45:47,005
Then why would you
imagine I regret
666
00:45:47,048 --> 00:45:49,398
sacrificing mine for yours?
667
00:45:49,442 --> 00:45:52,575
Ah.
668
00:45:52,619 --> 00:45:56,231
Did you say all this
was a simulation?
669
00:45:56,275 --> 00:45:59,234
Yes, sir.
An extremely sophisticated one.
670
00:45:59,278 --> 00:46:01,802
My memory engrams were extracted
671
00:46:01,846 --> 00:46:05,110
from a single neuron
salvaged by Bruce Maddox,
672
00:46:05,153 --> 00:46:08,809
and then my consciousness was
reconstructed by my brother,
673
00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:10,419
Dr. Altan Soong.
674
00:46:10,463 --> 00:46:12,595
I don't much care for him.
675
00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:16,382
Mm. The Soongs can be...
676
00:46:16,425 --> 00:46:20,429
I believe the phrase is
"an acquired taste."
677
00:46:20,473 --> 00:46:24,564
Mm-hmm. Well, whatever this is,
678
00:46:24,607 --> 00:46:27,219
it's wonderful to see you, Data.
679
00:46:27,262 --> 00:46:31,005
To see your strange,
680
00:46:31,049 --> 00:46:33,007
beautiful face.
681
00:46:33,051 --> 00:46:37,969
Among the many, many
things that I regretted
682
00:46:38,012 --> 00:46:39,274
after your death
683
00:46:39,318 --> 00:46:42,495
was that I never told you...
684
00:46:43,496 --> 00:46:45,324
That you loved me.
685
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:52,244
Knowing that you loved me
686
00:46:52,287 --> 00:46:56,204
forms a small but
statistically significant
687
00:46:56,248 --> 00:46:58,598
part of my memories.
688
00:46:58,641 --> 00:47:00,905
I hope that brings you
some comfort, sir.
689
00:47:00,948 --> 00:47:03,124
It does.
690
00:47:03,168 --> 00:47:05,300
Thank you, Data.
691
00:47:05,344 --> 00:47:07,409
Which is why I would like to
ask you to do me a favor.
692
00:47:07,433 --> 00:47:09,478
Of course. Anything.
693
00:47:09,522 --> 00:47:10,871
When you leave...
694
00:47:10,915 --> 00:47:12,873
Leave?
695
00:47:14,222 --> 00:47:16,007
I'm sorry, I-I don't understand.
696
00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:18,139
I thought this was a simulation.
697
00:47:18,183 --> 00:47:19,532
Yes, sir.
698
00:47:19,575 --> 00:47:21,316
But you are not.
699
00:47:23,057 --> 00:47:25,059
Before your brain
functions ceased,
700
00:47:25,103 --> 00:47:28,367
Doctors Soong and Jurati,
with help from Soji,
701
00:47:28,410 --> 00:47:31,152
were able to scan,
map and transfer
702
00:47:31,196 --> 00:47:34,373
a complete neural image
of your brain substrates.
703
00:47:41,206 --> 00:47:42,990
Do I have to go?
704
00:47:43,034 --> 00:47:44,862
Yes, Captain.
705
00:47:56,569 --> 00:47:59,354
Uh, you wanted me
to do you a favor.
706
00:47:59,398 --> 00:48:02,357
Yes, sir.
707
00:48:02,401 --> 00:48:06,231
When you leave, I would be
profoundly grateful
708
00:48:06,274 --> 00:48:09,234
if you terminated
my consciousness.
709
00:48:11,366 --> 00:48:13,542
You want to die?
710
00:48:13,586 --> 00:48:17,459
Not exactly, sir.
711
00:48:19,635 --> 00:48:22,551
I want to live, however briefly,
712
00:48:22,595 --> 00:48:25,250
knowing that my life is finite.
713
00:48:25,293 --> 00:48:28,514
Mortality gives meaning
714
00:48:28,557 --> 00:48:31,038
to human life, Captain.
715
00:48:31,082 --> 00:48:35,086
Peace, love,
716
00:48:35,129 --> 00:48:36,391
friendship.
717
00:48:36,435 --> 00:48:38,959
These are precious.
718
00:48:39,003 --> 00:48:41,005
Because we know
719
00:48:41,048 --> 00:48:44,182
they cannot endure.
720
00:48:48,012 --> 00:48:51,232
A butterfly
that lives forever...
721
00:48:55,236 --> 00:48:59,501
is really not
a butterfly at all.
722
00:49:01,677 --> 00:49:03,592
Very well.
723
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:07,292
I will do what you ask.
724
00:49:10,773 --> 00:49:12,645
Thank you, sir.
725
00:49:25,484 --> 00:49:28,617
Goodbye, Commander.
726
00:49:28,661 --> 00:49:31,316
Goodbye, Captain.
727
00:50:07,787 --> 00:50:10,703
Hi, mister.
728
00:50:17,884 --> 00:50:19,712
Am I real?
729
00:50:19,755 --> 00:50:21,627
Of course you are.
730
00:50:33,465 --> 00:50:35,162
Ah.
731
00:50:35,206 --> 00:50:39,471
Tell me about this body.
732
00:50:39,514 --> 00:50:43,518
This, uh... golem.
733
00:50:43,562 --> 00:50:45,607
Well, it has no augmentations,
734
00:50:45,651 --> 00:50:48,262
no, you know, superpowers.
735
00:50:48,306 --> 00:50:50,177
I knew you wouldn't want
to have to adjust
736
00:50:50,221 --> 00:50:51,483
to something new,
737
00:50:51,526 --> 00:50:54,355
not after 94 years
in the same body
738
00:50:54,399 --> 00:50:56,314
with the same face.
Ah.
739
00:50:56,357 --> 00:50:57,445
I see.
740
00:50:57,489 --> 00:50:58,838
Everything is new, though.
741
00:50:58,881 --> 00:51:00,579
Everything works.
742
00:51:00,622 --> 00:51:04,409
And the brain
abnormalityis gone for good.
743
00:51:06,324 --> 00:51:07,760
Extraordinary.
744
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,204
Y-You... you haven't
made me immortal?
745
00:51:17,248 --> 00:51:18,814
Oh, relax, man.
746
00:51:18,858 --> 00:51:21,165
Everyone was paying attention.
747
00:51:21,208 --> 00:51:22,209
We took care of you.
748
00:51:22,253 --> 00:51:23,341
Ah.
749
00:51:23,384 --> 00:51:24,733
We designed a cellular homeostasis
750
00:51:24,777 --> 00:51:27,127
algorithm that should
give you more or less
751
00:51:27,171 --> 00:51:29,216
the same number of years
you would have expected
752
00:51:29,260 --> 00:51:30,280
without the brain condition.
753
00:51:30,304 --> 00:51:32,132
Ah.
754
00:51:32,176 --> 00:51:35,135
I wouldn't have
minded another ten.
755
00:51:35,179 --> 00:51:37,355
Twenty?
756
00:51:40,575 --> 00:51:41,663
Well, Dr. Soong,
757
00:51:41,707 --> 00:51:43,796
I must thank you.
758
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:46,364
My gain is your loss.
759
00:51:46,407 --> 00:51:49,802
But now we both
760
00:51:49,845 --> 00:51:52,761
have something to lose.
761
00:51:54,633 --> 00:51:56,504
I have a promise to keep.

with all its violence
and corruption
768
00:52:22,487 --> 00:52:25,533

and traveled so far
to find your way home.

00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,861
Now you leave it all behind.
804
00:54:59,905 --> 00:55:02,647
I think I'm just more
cut out for wandering.

00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:06,564
And now that they've
lifted the ban on synthetics,
806
00:55:06,607 --> 00:55:07,782
I'm free to travel.
807
00:55:07,826 --> 00:55:09,393
Hmm.

00:55:09,436 --> 00:55:10,785
Me, too.
