1
00:00:02,961 --> 00:00:04,171
[Day] We've been attacked.
2
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:06,632
How does that make you feel?
3
00:00:06,715 --> 00:00:08,090
I'm scared.
4
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:12,513
Which is why the best face we can
project outward now is one of strength.
5
00:00:12,596 --> 00:00:14,431
[strains]
6
00:00:14,515 --> 00:00:16,600
-[Gaal sobs] What have you done?
-You can't be here.
7
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:19,019
Don't fight it. Keep calm.
You can breathe.
8
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:22,773
[Dusk] The new Dawn, just awoken.
9
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,691
-Something's wrong.
-[Hugo] Something wrong?
10
00:00:24,775 --> 00:00:26,985
[Salvor] Just a weird feeling.
I'm gonna walk the perimeter.
11
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:28,570
[Hugo] Those are corvettes. Gunships.
12
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:30,531
[woman] Comms buoy's not responding.
It's gone dark.
13
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:33,033
[Salvor] It's gotta be connected
to the Vault. The null field's expanding.
14
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:35,118
And the very next day,
the Anacreons showed up.
15
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:17,887
[Gaal narrating] Once, a man came to
Hari Seldon and asked to be told his fate.
16
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,021
He wanted to know
17
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:30,399
whether the predictive models could chart
the significance of his life.
18
00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:39,200
But Hari told him only the movements
of masses could be predicted.
19
00:02:42,245 --> 00:02:47,125
The fate of one individual
will always remain a mystery.
20
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:54,215
[groans]
21
00:03:31,043 --> 00:03:33,379
[Gaal] The clockwork of civilization…
22
00:03:36,215 --> 00:03:38,718
the rise and fall of cultures…
23
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,389
causes and worlds…
24
00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:50,104
These were answers
Hari Seldon had long since unriddled.
25
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,860
Belief is a powerful weapon.
26
00:03:57,612 --> 00:04:01,949
That's why the Empire feared
Hari Seldon's predictions so much.
27
00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:09,624
Empires govern worldly concerns,
but what comes after? Our souls?
28
00:04:10,374 --> 00:04:12,585
These realms are the purview of faith.
29
00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:17,840
And faith is a sword
forged in the fires of the infinite.
30
00:05:03,052 --> 00:05:05,888
[woman] Empire?
Do you seek different amusement?
31
00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:10,476
You'll do. For the routine pleasures
in the routine manner.
32
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,146
Which pleasures do you prefer, Empire?
33
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:18,317
Do you offer the pleasure of nothing?
Is that on the menu?
34
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:22,071
Is it true? No one's allowed to touch you?
35
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:26,367
Bold, aren't you?
36
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:31,205
I have only 24 hours of service to you.
I want to make the most of it.
37
00:05:33,916 --> 00:05:35,334
Then try to touch me.
38
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:40,840
I said try.
39
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:08,242
[gasps]
40
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:10,620
The aura repels kinetic energy.
41
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:17,001
I want you to try it again,
with a softer touch.
42
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:19,796
Slower.
43
00:06:24,342 --> 00:06:25,343
Slower.
44
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:34,560
[sighs]
45
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:40,942
[breathes shakily]
46
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:44,362
So, how…
47
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:45,488
…does the rest work?
48
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:47,281
[both chuckle]
49
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:02,380
What?
50
00:07:02,463 --> 00:07:04,090
You are required, Empire.
51
00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:09,011
I understand Empire has
a physiological need for intimacy.
52
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,722
But the current matter
supersedes this need.
53
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:15,518
[grunts]
54
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:21,566
[sighs]
55
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:27,196
[Demerzel] Ambassador Thanwall.
56
00:07:28,072 --> 00:07:31,117
Most esteemed Empire, glory to the light--
57
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,743
Out with it, Ambassador.
58
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:37,165
Proxima Opal has passed, Empire.
59
00:07:37,248 --> 00:07:38,374
[Day, Dusk] Our condolences.
60
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,501
Condolences. Heartfelt.
61
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:42,462
[Thanwall] Thank you, Empire.
62
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:46,048
Proxima Opal will be missed
and mourned by her flock.
63
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:50,344
And now the conclave will elevate
her successor, Zephyr Gilat.
64
00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:52,555
A capable candidate. We like her.
65
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:55,558
Carry our condolences forward, Ambassador.
66
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:59,645
And inform Gilat
she's always welcome on Trantor.
67
00:07:59,729 --> 00:08:03,608
On the topic of a successor, Empire,
68
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:06,861
there is some debate.
69
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:10,865
Another candidate has been
gaining support.
70
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:13,326
Zephyr Halima.
71
00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:18,539
Halima Ifa does not adhere to
accepted doctrine,
72
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:21,250
as have our previous proximas.
73
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:25,088
She is advocating for
a return to the Primary Octavo.
74
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:27,673
Is she suicidal?
75
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,927
Who is this woman to question our primacy?
76
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:32,887
A-A-Apologies, Empire. I-I--
77
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:35,098
-Did you know about this?
-Only moments ago.
78
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:37,475
When is Opal's funeral?
79
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:39,268
Two days hence, Empire.
80
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:55,993
Say nothing of this conversation.
We will contact you shortly.
81
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:06,963
I helped install the previous Proxima.
82
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:09,549
I'll leave for the conclave
as soon as possible.
83
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:12,468
Is that really necessary?
Can't you just holo-cast yourself in?
84
00:09:12,551 --> 00:09:13,553
[Dusk] Not this time.
85
00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:19,434
Luminism claims three trillion followers.
This schism requires a personal touch.
86
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:29,694
What's the Primary Octavo?
87
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,865
A heretical scripture. Pre-imperial.
88
00:09:35,032 --> 00:09:38,161
It directly links the soul
to individuated sentience.
89
00:09:38,745 --> 00:09:42,165
-What does that mean--
-Individuated sentience.
90
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:43,958
Think, Brother Dawn.
91
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:46,669
If a soul cleaves only to
an individual being,
92
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:50,047
that calls into question
that which cannot be individuated.
93
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:57,513
[sighs] All Cleons are
perfect genetic copies of the first.
94
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:58,598
And therefore…
95
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:01,100
We don't have souls.
96
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:05,188
So, this Halima woman is saying
we're, what?
97
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:07,815
Not human?
98
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:09,484
Indirectly. But--
99
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:11,569
And if the galaxy comes to believe
100
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:14,864
their leaders are less than,
rather than more than themselves,
101
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:16,657
they may cease to follow.
102
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,247
We are a glass vessel…
103
00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:27,043
spun with a fine hand.
104
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:34,092
If the pressures inside start to swirl
and we are not uniform…
105
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:38,513
we may burst.
106
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,729
-[Anacreon woman] Who are you?
-Salvor Hardin.
107
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:49,315
Warden of Terminus.
108
00:10:54,362 --> 00:10:56,656
Anacreons aren't allowed on imperial soil.
109
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:01,828
What are you doing here?
110
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:03,287
Scrapping.
111
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:04,831
That's a lot of armor for scrappers.
112
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:06,916
We're looking for
the ship's navigation module.
113
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:09,877
Any critical components were stripped
from this hulk decades ago.
114
00:11:09,961 --> 00:11:12,713
But, again,
a real scrapper would know that.
115
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:16,426
You should leave.
Before the Empire catches wind of this.
116
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,428
My people do not fear the Empire.
117
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:20,388
[speaking Anacreon]
118
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,765
[both speaking Anacreon]
119
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:26,060
-[shouts in Anacreon]
-[Salvor] Look, I caught you by surprise
120
00:11:26,144 --> 00:11:27,520
and now you're improvising.
121
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:32,275
But if you were gonna kill me,
you would have already.
122
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:33,651
So what's the play?
123
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,201
That tower. Take us there.
124
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:43,327
Why?
125
00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:45,580
[grunts]
126
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:48,291
Let me be clear, Warden.
127
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:51,127
We know how to use
every resource we come across.
128
00:11:52,086 --> 00:11:54,380
The children we observed earlier,
129
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:57,049
we've seen how they sneak away
just before dawn,
130
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:59,635
straying far away from
the rest of your flock.
131
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:04,140
If you won't lead us to the tower,
we'll simply utilize one of them.
132
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,434
It's not that simple. We have a fence.
133
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:07,810
We're aware of your fence.
134
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,896
We saw you
perform maintenance on it earlier.
135
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:13,566
Which makes you
the perfect person to take us through it.
136
00:12:14,275 --> 00:12:15,401
To the tower then!
137
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,029
[speaks Anacreon]
138
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:32,251
The fence uses DNA recognition.
139
00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:36,339
It'll radiate anyone
who isn't in the database.
140
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,132
[fence thrums]
141
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:43,596
I might be able to get one of you in.
142
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,972
If we walk through together,
143
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:47,391
the fence should write off
the second person as an error.
144
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:48,643
Then take us all through it.
145
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:51,145
This only works once. Maybe.
146
00:12:54,690 --> 00:12:57,652
The only thing I've ever dragged
through this fence was already dead.
147
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:10,081
I can feel you tensing up. Don't.
148
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:14,585
If she isn't back within a watch,
we'll raze your city to the ground.
149
00:13:31,018 --> 00:13:32,562
[in Anacreon] Go. Get the others.
150
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:34,439
Establish a perimeter
and stay out of sight.
151
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:36,607
[shouts in Anacreon]
152
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:46,617
Wanna drive and I'll hold the gun?
153
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:58,963
Tell me your name, at least.
154
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:01,215
Are we best friends now?
155
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:03,259
You've risked a lot coming here.
156
00:14:03,342 --> 00:14:05,678
We've risked everything, Warden.
157
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:08,055
[high-pitched ringing]
158
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:12,685
[shouts in Anacreon]
159
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:16,689
-No. There was a boy in our path!
-Don't get cute. I have eyes.
160
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:27,867
The tower's that way.
161
00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:30,036
I'm taking a shortcut.
Fewer watchmen this way.
162
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:36,167
What is that?
163
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:42,131
Stop.
164
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:43,257
[droning]
165
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:48,429
Stop.
166
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,476
-[breathing heavily]
-[vehicle powers down]
167
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:58,064
[Gaal] The stories about Salvor Hardin?
They usually begin here.
168
00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:01,442
-[breathing heavily]
-The warden and the ghost,
169
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,653
inexplicably bound together.
170
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:04,737
Thanks.
171
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:15,456
[Mari] How did they slip past our radar?
172
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,459
Flew in the nap of the earth. Maybe.
173
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:19,752
Any sign of their ships?
174
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:23,047
Ugh. They claimed to be scrappers.
Said they were after a navigation module.
175
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:25,383
-Obviously bullshit.
-We need to contact the Empire.
176
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:26,968
We can't do anything
without authorization.
177
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:28,928
Come on, Mom.
We're an imperial outpost in name only.
178
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:29,887
[sighs]
179
00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:32,265
When was the last time they even
contacted us? A decade ago?
180
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:34,475
They won't defend us.
We need to do it ourselves.
181
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:37,019
Easy. Violence is the last refuge--
182
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:39,689
Of the incompetent, I know.
That's an old man's doctrine.
183
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:41,732
It's an observation I made
when I was younger than you.
184
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:45,069
Would Hari's plan have assumed
we'd wait for help or act on our own?
185
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:48,239
Hari is not here, Mom.
We need to help ourselves.
186
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:50,116
[muttering in Anacreon]
187
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:54,245
Welcome back, best friend.
188
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:58,458
You left the conversation just as we were
really getting to know each other.
189
00:15:58,541 --> 00:15:59,667
-[sighs]
-[Salvor] Headache?
190
00:15:59,751 --> 00:16:01,627
Teeth feel like they're falling out?
191
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:03,421
[in Anacreon] What was that cursed thing?
192
00:16:03,504 --> 00:16:05,506
[in English] It was here
when we colonized Terminus.
193
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:09,177
Didn't show up on any of our scans.
I guess it didn't show up on yours either.
194
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,220
Why did it not affect you?
195
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:14,891
Let's just say I'm the last person
on Terminus you wanted to come across.
196
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:16,851
[chuckles] So…
197
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,687
what now, Warden?
198
00:16:21,856 --> 00:16:23,566
[Salvor] She had a small army with her.
199
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,860
An-- And their tracks,
some of them were deep.
200
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:29,405
Shorter stride lengths.
As if they were carrying heavy equipment.
201
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,866
Like they're planning on digging in, Dad.
202
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:34,619
-Well, what do you wanna do?
-I don't know.
203
00:16:35,203 --> 00:16:37,121
I've been following my instincts, and--
204
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:38,831
I don't know, maybe it was just dumb luck.
205
00:16:38,915 --> 00:16:41,292
Your instincts didn't just
lead you to the ships.
206
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:43,544
They led you to her. And you stopped her.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,339
If you were better at math,
208
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:49,926
you'd know that repeated luck was
more than just luck, Salvor.
209
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,762
Whether your mother wants
to admit it or not,
210
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:56,849
we have been following your lead from
the moment you pulled yourself upright.
211
00:16:57,767 --> 00:17:01,437
It's no accident
the people made you warden.
212
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:04,148
So lead us.
213
00:17:16,327 --> 00:17:19,622
I have never had the pleasure, Empire.
How may I be of service?
214
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:20,957
Captain Obrecht, is it?
215
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,460
Shadowmaster, Empire.
Shadowmaster Obrecht.
216
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:25,795
A fine likeness.
217
00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:31,551
[Dawn] What's the protocol for dealing
with a problem palace attendant?
218
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:33,761
[Obrecht] What level of attendant,
if I may ask?
219
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:37,849
-Someone who works in the garden.
-May I ask the nature of the problem?
220
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:40,393
You may not. I just want her name.
221
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:44,855
I can ascertain that, Empire.
Along with anything else you may require.
222
00:17:44,939 --> 00:17:46,149
That's all for now.
223
00:17:55,450 --> 00:17:58,452
I saw at least a dozen Anacreons
outside the fence.
224
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:00,455
Travik, take the southern loop.
225
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,206
Kalin, cover the west.
226
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:06,043
Yate, I want you on the east so you can
spot anyone coming over that ridge.
227
00:18:06,127 --> 00:18:09,881
And if we see any of these guys,
what are we supposed to do?
228
00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:10,965
Nothing.
229
00:18:11,048 --> 00:18:14,051
Don't shoot at them, don't speak to them.
Just watch 'em and keep me informed.
230
00:18:14,135 --> 00:18:16,763
-What's this about Anacreons on Terminus?
-Calls herself Phara.
231
00:18:16,846 --> 00:18:19,307
Beyond that,
nothing about her story adds up.
232
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:21,726
If anyone can tell
whether somebody's lying, it's you.
233
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:24,103
That's just the thing.
I can't tell if she's lying
234
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:25,938
or if she's just not telling the truth.
235
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:27,190
Is there a difference?
236
00:18:27,732 --> 00:18:29,901
I've got a plan.
But I'm gonna need your help.
237
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:38,075
What's this? Torture?
238
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:40,536
He's my manservant.
239
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:43,998
Runs and fetches.
Reseals my boots when they need it.
240
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:49,420
I'm thinking a watch has passed,
as far as my weald-men are concerned.
241
00:18:49,504 --> 00:18:50,880
Why are you really here, Phara?
242
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,383
Salvor has a talent for reading people.
243
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:58,012
It's uncanny, really.
I was just telling her mother about it.
244
00:18:58,513 --> 00:18:59,722
She doesn't believe you.
245
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,475
Well, you told her you're my boss.
Now my praise rings hollow.
246
00:19:02,558 --> 00:19:04,102
[Salvor] What's your interest
in the Foundation Tower?
247
00:19:04,185 --> 00:19:08,189
The module. I already told you.
You keep asking me the same questions.
248
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:11,150
I'm giving you a chance
to give better answers.
249
00:19:11,234 --> 00:19:12,568
Crowns.
250
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:18,199
I know you're after something else.
251
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:22,537
We don't have any Anacreon artifacts,
no heavy weapons, so what--
252
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:23,871
This is going in circles.
253
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,332
Explain it to her.
254
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,501
[in Anacreon]
Just give her what she wants.
255
00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:30,670
Your accent's not terrible.
256
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:33,798
You were taught by someone
in the port city, obviously.
257
00:19:34,632 --> 00:19:36,008
Those lazy vowels.
258
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:37,510
I'm a trader.
259
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,430
I do business with your people
now and then.
260
00:19:40,805 --> 00:19:43,599
Thought I smelled a whiff
of Thespin on you.
261
00:19:43,933 --> 00:19:46,644
I want the navigation module. That's it.
262
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:47,895
[in English] Another lie.
263
00:19:48,438 --> 00:19:49,772
You speak Anacreon as well?
264
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:50,940
Not a word.
265
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:52,608
-Yet you know I'm lying?
-[Salvor] Cats.
266
00:19:55,069 --> 00:19:56,154
That was a 50-50 chance.
267
00:19:56,237 --> 00:19:57,613
Cats again. Who are you really?
268
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:03,244
Twenty-five percent chance there.
269
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:04,620
Now it's back to crowns.
270
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:08,708
Twelve and a half percent.
And another crown. Why are you here?
271
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:10,835
Another crown again.
272
00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:28,394
I'd give you the percentage,
but repeated luck is never luck.
273
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:34,650
Who are you?
274
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:37,612
We're scrappers. The module.
275
00:20:37,695 --> 00:20:40,740
You're not scrappers. And the navigation
module's a distraction--
276
00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:42,450
[Phara] Enough of these child games.
277
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:45,203
Take this Thespin thug off his leash
and let him get on with it!
278
00:20:45,286 --> 00:20:46,287
Your scars…
279
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:48,581
keloids.
280
00:20:53,503 --> 00:20:54,962
Your left eye…
281
00:20:56,547 --> 00:20:57,548
nano-glass.
282
00:20:57,632 --> 00:21:00,426
You lose it when
the Empire bombed Anacreon?
283
00:21:00,510 --> 00:21:03,679
I imagine you must have been, what,
five, six at the time?
284
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:08,434
Neutron bombs have a low explosive yield
but a high amount of ionizing radiation.
285
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:12,563
Now, I know about 50% of the population
died off within a week,
286
00:21:12,647 --> 00:21:15,691
another 20 or 30
within the remaining year.
287
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:19,028
Odds are you came out the other end
an orphan, right?
288
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:24,075
Probably lost a mom and dad.
289
00:21:24,909 --> 00:21:27,036
Boiled alive.
290
00:21:28,746 --> 00:21:30,832
Or maybe s-slower.
291
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:32,625
Cancer.
292
00:21:35,086 --> 00:21:39,882
Thyroid for your mother.
Her voice, it changed before she died.
293
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:42,593
Who else did you lose? A sister?
294
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:48,808
A brother.
295
00:21:52,061 --> 00:21:53,729
A little brother.
296
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:55,815
[shouting in Anacreon]
297
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:11,038
[breathing heavily]
298
00:22:11,122 --> 00:22:13,458
There's a deadness inside her.
It's like a--
299
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:16,836
It's like a well with no bottom,
just sucking everything in.
300
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:19,714
She wants to die.
301
00:22:21,299 --> 00:22:25,011
She wants everyone to die. I felt it.
302
00:22:27,472 --> 00:22:28,973
[groans, breathing heavily]
303
00:22:30,725 --> 00:22:32,977
What she said when she broke,
did you understand any of it?
304
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:35,688
Some, yeah. It's archaic Anacreon,
not the common vernacular.
305
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:39,150
Well, she slipped up.
Because I understood something too.
306
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:43,488
A name I remember from the holos.
Larken Keaen.
307
00:22:47,325 --> 00:22:48,951
During the Anthor Belt dispute,
308
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:51,287
Anacreon and Thespis brought gifts
to the Emperor.
309
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:52,872
My people's was the Book of Ablut--
310
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:55,249
And Anacreon's was a bow
carved for its greatest hunter.
311
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:57,543
-Larken Keaen.
-[Mari] Meaning?
312
00:22:57,627 --> 00:22:59,378
Phara's not just some junker.
313
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:02,090
She's the Grand Huntress of Anacreon.
314
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,885
[people yelling, screaming]
315
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:15,520
All this unrest, who's responsible for it?
316
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:18,856
Sinkers. A nom de guerre.
317
00:23:19,357 --> 00:23:24,904
After the heat sink meltdown on level 77.
It was caused when the Star Bridge fell.
318
00:23:24,987 --> 00:23:28,866
And 35 years later we're still grappling
with the aftereffects.
319
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:36,499
The businesses of Empire is
a cascade of competing priorities.
320
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:40,336
Brother Day will need your support
while I tend to the conclave.
321
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:42,505
It's overwhelming.
322
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:43,798
For one man.
323
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,427
Fortunately, there are three of us.
324
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:51,180
Bad tidings also come in threes.
Have you heard the news, Brother?
325
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:55,852
A communications buoy
in the Arcturus Sector has come off-line.
326
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:58,896
[Dawn] They must go off-line
all the time, right?
327
00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:01,274
We probably have thousands of them
across the galaxy.
328
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:02,608
Tens of thousands.
329
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:05,945
But only one that handles communications
in the Outer Reach.
330
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:09,532
I see that you fail to grasp
the significance.
331
00:24:10,241 --> 00:24:11,659
It's Terminus.
332
00:24:13,161 --> 00:24:16,706
It's where Brother Dusk exiled
Hari Seldon's followers.
333
00:24:20,418 --> 00:24:25,173
The Reach. The conclave. Insurgency…
334
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:29,135
Do you see a pattern forming here?
335
00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:31,137
Show them.
336
00:24:33,014 --> 00:24:37,268
Sensing vulnerability, soon other players
will begin to apply downward pressure.
337
00:24:37,935 --> 00:24:42,607
An exhortation from one of the galaxy's
major religions is a given.
338
00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:45,526
Or perhaps a homegrown insurrection
here on Trantor.
339
00:24:46,194 --> 00:24:51,783
If the fall can be accelerated,
can it not also be slowed?
340
00:24:51,866 --> 00:24:52,992
Now look at you, Brother.
341
00:24:53,075 --> 00:24:56,496
So smugly self-assured
atop the middle throne.
342
00:24:56,579 --> 00:24:58,915
I used to practice that smile
in the mirror.
343
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:01,084
Enough. I know how the scene ends.
344
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:02,960
But have you embraced its lessons?
345
00:25:03,044 --> 00:25:06,047
Luminism.
The Sinker insurrection happening now.
346
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:08,674
Seldon all but drew you a to-do list.
347
00:25:09,926 --> 00:25:10,927
And you ignored him.
348
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:12,637
Because he was a charlatan.
349
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,472
You offer nothing new.
350
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:17,934
Just a younger grape…
351
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:19,644
from the same vine,
352
00:25:20,144 --> 00:25:22,980
destined for the same old bottle.
353
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:25,149
You can't save yourselves…
354
00:25:25,233 --> 00:25:27,193
but you can save your legacy.
355
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,905
Hari Seldon is long dead.
356
00:25:32,115 --> 00:25:34,367
Murdered by his protégé, no less.
357
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:37,078
The man was murdered.
But what about the movement, Brother?
358
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:41,541
Martyrs tend to have a long half-life.
359
00:25:50,216 --> 00:25:54,137
Thanks to you, we are now staring down
the barrel of a genuine diplomatic crisis.
360
00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:56,180
What was I supposed to do, Lewis?
361
00:25:56,264 --> 00:25:58,057
Let Phara kill me
and then move on to the kids?
362
00:25:58,141 --> 00:25:59,767
You shouldn't have questioned her
without me.
363
00:25:59,851 --> 00:26:01,519
Be glad I did. We know who she is now.
364
00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:03,604
We have leverage.
We can bargain with her people.
365
00:26:03,688 --> 00:26:05,481
If this choice
inflames the city into violence,
366
00:26:05,565 --> 00:26:07,442
you have achieved
elaborate suicide for us all.
367
00:26:07,525 --> 00:26:09,902
Didn't Hari say
the Foundation survives the first crisis?
368
00:26:09,986 --> 00:26:13,781
Yes, he did. But, as I've told you before,
you are an outlier.
369
00:26:13,865 --> 00:26:14,991
-Meaning?
-Salvor.
370
00:26:15,074 --> 00:26:16,659
Meaning that you weren't accounted for.
371
00:26:16,742 --> 00:26:18,202
You have a connection with the Vault
372
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:20,538
which couldn't have possibly
have been predicted.
373
00:26:20,621 --> 00:26:22,081
You are not baked into the model.
374
00:26:22,165 --> 00:26:23,624
You're saying I'm not part of God's plan.
375
00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:25,960
I am saying psychohistory
can't account for individuals.
376
00:26:26,043 --> 00:26:27,545
So you're saying
I've destroyed God's plan?
377
00:26:27,628 --> 00:26:29,964
-It's time to take a step back, Salvor.
-Step back?
378
00:26:30,047 --> 00:26:32,008
I thought the whole damn point
of the Foundation
379
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:34,469
was preparing for the unthinkable.
380
00:26:34,552 --> 00:26:36,637
When I asked for more defensive weapons,
381
00:26:36,721 --> 00:26:39,265
you said the likelihood of an attack
seemed remote.
382
00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:41,392
When I wanted to run more drills, nothing.
383
00:26:41,976 --> 00:26:43,770
So here we are now, not prepared.
384
00:26:43,853 --> 00:26:48,065
I might be an outlier, but I'm not
the one screwing up the Plan, Lewis.
385
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:57,325
Lewis Pirenne, director.
386
00:26:57,408 --> 00:27:01,329
Now, why would the Anacreon Council
send its highest-ranking military officer
387
00:27:01,412 --> 00:27:03,206
to an imperial outpost?
388
00:27:03,289 --> 00:27:05,875
Is that what you're pretending
your little doomsday cult is?
389
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:07,794
Because I don't see the Empire anywhere.
390
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:11,464
All I see are academics, laborers
and very few guns.
391
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:12,840
You took down the comms buoy.
392
00:27:12,924 --> 00:27:16,469
Of course. We wanted to operate
in private, away from prying eyes.
393
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:19,639
You have to know the Empire will send
someone to investigate eventually.
394
00:27:20,473 --> 00:27:21,766
Or is that the point?
395
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:23,684
Your women are so much sharper
than your men.
396
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:24,811
[chuckles]
397
00:27:24,894 --> 00:27:28,606
The barbarian kingdoms are exiled.
You have no business here.
398
00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:29,774
[speaks Anacreon]
399
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:31,567
"Barbarians."
400
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:34,862
Just a convenient slur
for anyone not like you.
401
00:27:35,446 --> 00:27:39,033
Trantor left us all here to die.
Your people and mine.
402
00:27:39,117 --> 00:27:40,910
We're just dying at different speeds.
403
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:42,328
The Foundation isn't dying.
404
00:27:42,412 --> 00:27:45,998
We are fulfilling the mission
Hari Seldon entrusted us with.
405
00:27:46,082 --> 00:27:49,752
Seldon also predicted that the fall
would begin at the edge of the galaxy.
406
00:27:50,878 --> 00:27:52,296
-Here.
-The same science
407
00:27:52,380 --> 00:27:54,382
that saved the Imperial Palace
when the Star Bridge fell
408
00:27:54,465 --> 00:27:55,675
protects Terminus City.
409
00:27:55,758 --> 00:27:57,176
You mean your energy barrier?
410
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:58,261
Mmm.
411
00:27:58,344 --> 00:28:02,306
A weapon's only as good as
the man who's wielding it.
412
00:28:13,568 --> 00:28:14,569
[shouts in Anacreon]
413
00:28:17,530 --> 00:28:18,781
Kalin, what's your situation?
414
00:28:18,865 --> 00:28:20,783
It's getting pretty crowded over here.
415
00:28:20,867 --> 00:28:23,119
-I think I need backup.
-Not happening.
416
00:28:23,202 --> 00:28:26,497
Salvor saw a dozen. You're telling me
we've got Anacreons all over?
417
00:28:26,581 --> 00:28:29,417
I'm telling you I'm seeing enough guns
to take out the whole town.
418
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:31,919
[Obrecht] Empire.
419
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:37,550
The matter we discussed?
420
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:42,388
Her name is Azura Odili.
A palace botanist since the age of 13.
421
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:46,434
Her father, deceased, was also
an agroecologist in the gardens.
422
00:28:46,976 --> 00:28:50,188
Her mother founded
a school for the ikebana, now closed.
423
00:28:51,647 --> 00:28:53,107
You said there was a problem?
424
00:28:54,776 --> 00:28:58,070
How are problems generally solved
in this situation?
425
00:28:58,821 --> 00:29:03,326
Any manner that achieves its goal.
My job is to eliminate problems, Empire.
426
00:29:15,963 --> 00:29:17,715
[Dawn] Azura Odili.
427
00:29:20,593 --> 00:29:22,595
Oh-dee-lee? Oh-dih-lee?
428
00:29:22,678 --> 00:29:23,763
Dee, Empire.
429
00:29:23,846 --> 00:29:25,765
You were outside my chambers earlier.
430
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:29,977
-Want to know what you think you saw.
-I saw nothing, Empire.
431
00:29:30,061 --> 00:29:31,813
No. I believe you saw something.
432
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:34,065
I only see what Empire wants me to see.
433
00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,400
I could have you removed
from your station,
434
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:39,654
sent to scrub the heat sinks on level 80.
435
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:42,990
I could do worse to you. Much worse.
436
00:29:43,074 --> 00:29:44,283
You know all this.
437
00:29:44,367 --> 00:29:46,869
[man] Empire, Brother Dusk
has asked me to summon you.
438
00:29:46,953 --> 00:29:48,287
Tell him I'm coming.
439
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:51,749
Remove this entire bed.
440
00:29:52,375 --> 00:29:55,128
From my chambers
the smell of the blossoms is overbearing.
441
00:29:55,211 --> 00:29:58,381
-Empire, you needn't bother with this--
-It's settled. You can go.
442
00:30:02,343 --> 00:30:03,845
Wolvesbreath helps with the pain.
443
00:30:04,679 --> 00:30:06,431
The brownish-green leaves
with the red stripe.
444
00:30:06,514 --> 00:30:08,015
They reduce the swelling and bruising--
445
00:30:08,099 --> 00:30:10,560
I don't recall asking
for your medical advice.
446
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:13,438
Which?
447
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:37,628
The pointed leaves.
448
00:30:50,641 --> 00:30:51,642
What is it?
449
00:30:52,143 --> 00:30:53,770
Lupi spiritus.
450
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:57,857
Wolvesbreath, Empire.
From our medicinal garden.
451
00:30:57,940 --> 00:31:00,735
It's an analgesic and vasodilator.
452
00:31:00,818 --> 00:31:01,903
Is it poisonous?
453
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:06,240
No. Wolvesbreath is used in tea
as well as tinctures.
454
00:31:06,324 --> 00:31:09,619
It stimulates the blood vessels,
promotes healing--
455
00:31:09,702 --> 00:31:10,870
Eat it.
456
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:17,585
If you're not dead
within the next few hours,
457
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:19,796
have a kilogram of these
sent to my quarters.
458
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:21,089
Of course, Empire.
459
00:31:27,595 --> 00:31:30,348
Laylo Fulham, get your ass back home
this instant!
460
00:31:30,431 --> 00:31:31,432
Are they gonna get through?
461
00:31:31,516 --> 00:31:32,600
Course not.
462
00:31:33,518 --> 00:31:38,815
Go back to your home, people. Please.
It's not safe out here. Back up. Back up.
463
00:31:40,483 --> 00:31:42,110
You need to come out here. Now.
464
00:31:42,193 --> 00:31:43,277
Kind of busy here, Yate.
465
00:31:43,361 --> 00:31:44,904
I know, and I'm still calling.
466
00:31:44,987 --> 00:31:48,157
We've got Anacreon's troops massing
from the east, west, south,
467
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:49,992
and presumably the north.
468
00:31:51,536 --> 00:31:53,746
Remember how to hold a rifle, old man?
469
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:54,914
Barrel goes forward?
470
00:31:55,623 --> 00:31:58,376
We've spotted Anacreons
at multiple locations outside the fence.
471
00:31:59,001 --> 00:32:00,753
-I'll go west.
-We'll head north.
472
00:32:01,254 --> 00:32:03,631
I shouldn't leave.
Lewis is completely overmatched in there.
473
00:32:03,714 --> 00:32:05,174
I'll babysit him, I promise.
474
00:32:06,050 --> 00:32:07,218
All right.
475
00:32:08,386 --> 00:32:11,180
Is it true? You got some kind of
Anacreon chieftain in there?
476
00:32:11,264 --> 00:32:12,515
You been drinking, Muller?
477
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:15,768
It's the end of the galaxy, isn't it?
Hari's prediction's coming true.
478
00:32:15,852 --> 00:32:18,271
You got hold of a bad rumor, Muller.
Local poacher's all.
479
00:32:18,354 --> 00:32:19,939
They're already here, aren't they?
480
00:32:20,815 --> 00:32:23,276
Hey, why don't you just
take a break for a second.
481
00:32:37,915 --> 00:32:38,916
Hey!
482
00:32:39,625 --> 00:32:40,877
I won't hurt you.
483
00:32:44,338 --> 00:32:45,465
Just tell me who you are.
484
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:47,550
[Hugo] Sal.
485
00:32:48,050 --> 00:32:49,051
Sal.
486
00:32:49,135 --> 00:32:51,637
Sal. Hey, hey. What's wrong?
487
00:32:51,721 --> 00:32:53,681
I was just in the Imperial Library
on Trantor.
488
00:32:53,765 --> 00:32:56,726
-What do you mean you were there?
-I mean I was there. In the stacks.
489
00:32:57,393 --> 00:32:59,520
The ceiling was wooden,
there were all these marble busts.
490
00:32:59,604 --> 00:33:01,189
And there was a boy with a knife.
491
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:04,984
It was the same boy who
led me to the Anacreons.
492
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:10,364
It's the Vault. I can feel it, Hugo.
It's trying to tell me something
493
00:33:10,448 --> 00:33:13,493
about the Anacreons and this crisis.
Everything.
494
00:33:13,576 --> 00:33:17,455
Okay, listen to me. I've always said
you should let this planet shrug you off.
495
00:33:18,498 --> 00:33:23,127
But watching you work, where you could
sense what Phara was feeling inside…
496
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:25,838
that's special.
497
00:33:26,422 --> 00:33:28,091
Other people can't do that, Sal.
498
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:29,801
I have absolute faith in you.
499
00:33:33,096 --> 00:33:35,890
[whispers] I have absolute faith in you.
500
00:33:56,202 --> 00:33:58,955
Who among you
is Master Statistician Tivole?
501
00:34:02,959 --> 00:34:06,045
Empire. May the light never dim.
502
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:07,672
[all] May the light never dim.
503
00:34:07,755 --> 00:34:10,466
-You received my query.
-[Tivole] I did, Empire.
504
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:12,718
But I can't say yet we have the results.
505
00:34:12,802 --> 00:34:15,847
How long has it been
since Dusk set you to this task?
506
00:34:16,431 --> 00:34:17,557
Three decades?
507
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,811
What do you do
in your mausoleum of calculus
508
00:34:21,894 --> 00:34:25,189
if not achieve results?
509
00:34:26,983 --> 00:34:30,486
Progress, then. What is your progress?
510
00:34:31,654 --> 00:34:37,952
We believe the-- the predictive models
of Hari Seldon to be counterfactual.
511
00:34:40,496 --> 00:34:42,665
And you believe this why?
512
00:34:43,332 --> 00:34:48,253
In the 35 years since Seldon uttered
his heretical proclamations,
513
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:52,759
the Imperium has expanded, rather than
contracted, by every critical metric--
514
00:34:52,842 --> 00:34:53,842
Stop.
515
00:34:55,094 --> 00:34:56,471
Seldon's prophecies.
516
00:34:56,554 --> 00:35:01,184
Speak to me of his math,
this "ordinal analysis."
517
00:35:01,267 --> 00:35:03,936
It's a spread of fortune teller's cards
518
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:07,982
which Seldon chose
to interpret as divination.
519
00:35:08,523 --> 00:35:09,525
Uh-huh.
520
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:13,613
The verification he found
in the regression models is unsupported.
521
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:17,492
But what of these-- these recent events?
522
00:35:17,575 --> 00:35:18,867
The conclave? Luminism?
523
00:35:18,951 --> 00:35:23,831
Baseless conjecture.
Again, vague and unsupported. [chuckles]
524
00:35:23,915 --> 00:35:27,835
I mean, anyone could predict
a return to orthodoxy. [chuckles]
525
00:35:28,503 --> 00:35:33,132
Psychohistory is the fanciful work
of an old man's imagination.
526
00:35:33,215 --> 00:35:35,843
If it weren't the fanciful work
of an old man's imagination, what then?
527
00:35:35,927 --> 00:35:39,889
What is the likelihood that it's all true?
Every prophecy?
528
00:35:40,723 --> 00:35:42,892
Vanishingly small, Empire.
529
00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:44,310
But not zero.
530
00:35:46,646 --> 00:35:47,897
Correct?
531
00:35:48,856 --> 00:35:50,900
Not zero?
532
00:35:51,651 --> 00:35:54,821
What kind of idiots are you?
533
00:35:54,904 --> 00:35:58,074
A thousand imperial mathematicians…
534
00:35:58,157 --> 00:36:01,035
-[grunting]
-…can't parse the numbers of one man?
535
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:05,581
So there's nothing
anyone in the galaxy can do?
536
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:11,796
Is that what it is?
Is that the best you've got?
537
00:36:13,673 --> 00:36:16,592
Tell me. Tell me!
538
00:36:18,636 --> 00:36:21,389
Tell me!
539
00:36:32,275 --> 00:36:34,569
[Gaal] In the twilight of a man's life…
540
00:36:34,652 --> 00:36:37,321
-[mechanical buzzing]
-…when his biography is nearly complete,
541
00:36:37,947 --> 00:36:40,491
he grows desperate to know
the measure of his days…
542
00:36:42,452 --> 00:36:46,080
how his voice compares to
the chorus of those who've come before.
543
00:36:49,625 --> 00:36:52,962
Do I matter? Are my choices my own?
544
00:36:53,755 --> 00:36:57,508
Or is my destiny governed by
an unseen hand?
545
00:37:09,562 --> 00:37:11,647
Brother Day. Come to see us off?
546
00:37:11,731 --> 00:37:14,525
I was paid a visit by your statisticians.
547
00:37:14,609 --> 00:37:17,528
It's remarkable
how self-reinforcing their results are.
548
00:37:17,612 --> 00:37:21,991
I think it's best that you stay
and tend to matters on Trantor.
549
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:26,454
Empire, a primary Cleon has not left
the bosom of Trantor
550
00:37:26,537 --> 00:37:28,664
since the dawn of the Genetic Dynasty.
551
00:37:28,748 --> 00:37:29,749
Demerzel is right.
552
00:37:30,625 --> 00:37:33,419
We have these protocols in place
for a reason.
553
00:37:33,503 --> 00:37:40,093
And I say our protocols have
made us complacent.
554
00:37:40,802 --> 00:37:42,887
When you sat on the middle throne,
as I do now,
555
00:37:42,970 --> 00:37:45,389
and were debating what to do about
Anacreon and Thespis,
556
00:37:45,473 --> 00:37:48,684
what our response should be,
do you remember what you said?
557
00:37:50,144 --> 00:37:51,145
I do.
558
00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:53,606
Like it was yesterday.
559
00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:55,441
I was seven.
560
00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:58,611
Our eldest brother had argued
for a bout of grace.
561
00:37:58,694 --> 00:38:01,447
You turned to me and said,
"What do you think, Ascending Dawn?"
562
00:38:02,740 --> 00:38:04,242
I knew you were against grace,
563
00:38:04,867 --> 00:38:07,787
that you wanted to bomb
the barbarian kingdoms.
564
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:12,041
But I was scared. And I dared say so.
565
00:38:12,875 --> 00:38:15,294
Well, I'm not scared anymore.
566
00:38:16,129 --> 00:38:22,009
On your watch, the Star Bridge fell.
And from that scar insurgency was birthed.
567
00:38:22,093 --> 00:38:24,512
On your watch, two worlds were incinerated
568
00:38:24,595 --> 00:38:27,140
with not a care to
innocence or consequence.
569
00:38:27,223 --> 00:38:30,643
On your watch, Hari Seldon
and his followers were allowed to flee.
570
00:38:31,185 --> 00:38:34,605
You have bequeathed me
an Empire rent by impulsive action.
571
00:38:34,689 --> 00:38:38,609
The same will not be said of me.
Not on my watch.
572
00:38:39,193 --> 00:38:41,612
I would save our legacy.
573
00:38:41,696 --> 00:38:42,697
Brother…
574
00:38:44,031 --> 00:38:48,286
you are haunted by
the ghost of a man long dead.
575
00:38:48,369 --> 00:38:50,621
We all are, Brother.
576
00:38:55,251 --> 00:38:57,003
Your watch is over.
577
00:38:58,463 --> 00:39:02,800
You will stay on Trantor, tending to
the wounds you have allowed to fester.
578
00:39:02,884 --> 00:39:05,052
-[chuckles]
-Go.
579
00:39:05,970 --> 00:39:08,431
Return Brother Dusk's belongings
to the palace.
580
00:39:19,650 --> 00:39:23,571
Certainly now the Empire will
no longer be rent by impulsive action.
581
00:39:55,770 --> 00:39:56,896
You summoned me, Empire?
582
00:39:56,979 --> 00:39:59,690
A communications buoy has gone dark
in the Outer Reach.
583
00:40:01,025 --> 00:40:02,485
Take your team and investigate.
584
00:40:03,319 --> 00:40:04,529
At once, Empire.
585
00:40:05,029 --> 00:40:06,030
Dorwin.
586
00:40:06,948 --> 00:40:09,617
Our dispatches from the Foundation
have become sporadic.
587
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:10,785
Pay them a visit.
588
00:40:10,868 --> 00:40:14,747
And remind the Foundation
that Empire will not be kept in the dark.
589
00:40:23,214 --> 00:40:24,841
[mechanical fluttering]
590
00:40:57,290 --> 00:40:59,125
[breathes shakily]
591
00:41:14,849 --> 00:41:17,643
[man speaking Anacreon]
592
00:41:18,895 --> 00:41:21,147
-Is that, uh--
-Doesn't look good, does it?
593
00:41:21,230 --> 00:41:23,191
[man speaking Anacreon]
594
00:41:24,525 --> 00:41:26,277
[man speaking Anacreon]
595
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:35,036
[Anacreons cheering]
596
00:41:37,622 --> 00:41:39,957
[speaking Anacreon]
597
00:41:40,041 --> 00:41:44,045
Who is in charge here, Lewis? You?
Or is it the Warden with the coin tricks?
598
00:41:44,128 --> 00:41:46,464
Because it seems
she's managed to complicate matters.
599
00:41:46,547 --> 00:41:48,883
-Let me be clear, Huntress Keaen--
-Grand Huntress.
600
00:41:48,966 --> 00:41:50,510
The only reason we have a crisis
601
00:41:50,593 --> 00:41:54,055
is because you trespassed
on the Emperor's personal domain.
602
00:41:54,138 --> 00:41:57,350
If only Salvor had taken me to the tower
and given me what I'd wanted,
603
00:41:57,433 --> 00:41:59,060
we'd already be off-planet.
604
00:41:59,143 --> 00:42:00,645
The module from our slow ship?
605
00:42:00,728 --> 00:42:03,231
[Phara] It's not as if
your people have any use for it.
606
00:42:03,731 --> 00:42:07,318
You're marooned on Terminus.
The Empire made sure of that.
607
00:42:07,401 --> 00:42:08,736
Lewis.
608
00:42:09,654 --> 00:42:10,655
Why do you need it?
609
00:42:11,155 --> 00:42:13,366
[Phara]
My people are technologically bankrupt.
610
00:42:13,449 --> 00:42:15,076
We're dying, Director.
611
00:42:15,868 --> 00:42:19,372
We have been ever since the Empire
set our atmosphere on fire.
612
00:42:19,455 --> 00:42:23,292
Half our population lost
for a crime that we were innocent of.
613
00:42:23,376 --> 00:42:25,211
Unlike you, we have ships.
614
00:42:25,294 --> 00:42:28,881
We can leave our poisoned world,
find another star system.
615
00:42:28,965 --> 00:42:32,135
If only we had
the means to navigate the void.
616
00:42:32,218 --> 00:42:33,928
The Empire would crush us
for assisting you.
617
00:42:34,011 --> 00:42:35,763
We're forcing your hand, Director.
618
00:42:36,764 --> 00:42:38,641
Because we have nothing left to lose.
619
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,812
You can't play chess with someone
who's willing to set the board on fire.
620
00:42:46,816 --> 00:42:48,860
[Salvor] Is that some kind of flak cannon?
621
00:42:48,943 --> 00:42:51,529
[Hugo] Wasting their time if they think
that's gonna penetrate the fence.
622
00:42:51,612 --> 00:42:55,074
None of this feels right.
Phara is smarter than this.
623
00:42:55,158 --> 00:42:57,577
They took out the comms buoy,
and they came in prepared.
624
00:42:57,660 --> 00:43:00,329
There's a larger strategy here,
and I am missing it somehow.
625
00:43:00,413 --> 00:43:02,665
What if I take my ship,
make a run for the stars, get help?
626
00:43:02,749 --> 00:43:06,127
No, no. They'd shoot you out of the sky
before you ever made it into orbit.
627
00:43:07,170 --> 00:43:08,921
Regretting you didn't bug out
when you had the chance?
628
00:43:09,005 --> 00:43:11,674
Done a lot of foolish things in my life,
Salvor Hardin.
629
00:43:11,758 --> 00:43:13,593
Sticking by your side is not one of them.
630
00:43:14,927 --> 00:43:16,345
Best manservant ever.
631
00:43:16,429 --> 00:43:19,015
[mechanical whirring]
632
00:43:27,648 --> 00:43:29,192
The Vault isn't Anacreon…
633
00:43:30,067 --> 00:43:31,110
or alien at all.
634
00:43:31,194 --> 00:43:32,653
It's gotta be connected to Hari.
635
00:43:32,737 --> 00:43:33,738
How do you know that?
636
00:43:33,821 --> 00:43:35,698
Because the vision I saw
when I blacked out,
637
00:43:36,324 --> 00:43:40,953
it was on Trantor in Hari's library,
with a boy holding a knife on me.
638
00:43:41,746 --> 00:43:43,414
What if it was a warning to stay away?
639
00:43:44,665 --> 00:43:46,167
What if Lewis is right?
640
00:43:46,250 --> 00:43:49,378
I'm an outlier, just like he says,
barging around, knocking things over,
641
00:43:49,462 --> 00:43:50,755
screwing up Seldon's plan?
642
00:43:50,838 --> 00:43:53,341
Salvor, what if you are Seldon's plan?
643
00:43:55,593 --> 00:43:59,305
[Gaal] The fate of one individual
will always remain a mystery.
644
00:43:59,388 --> 00:44:03,768
Remember my promise, Warden?
Razing your city to the ground?
645
00:44:03,851 --> 00:44:05,812
[Gaal] But the movements of masses,
646
00:44:05,895 --> 00:44:09,440
the rise and falls of cultures,
causes and worlds…
647
00:44:10,274 --> 00:44:13,444
These were answers
Hari Seldon had long since unriddled.
648
00:44:14,112 --> 00:44:15,404
It's time.
649
00:44:15,488 --> 00:44:19,283
[Gaal] And the beginning of the end,
as befitting its name,
650
00:44:19,367 --> 00:44:21,160
took place on Terminus.
651
00:44:22,453 --> 00:44:24,997
[machine beeping]
