1
00:01:32,301 --> 00:01:34,386
[muffled audio]
2
00:02:13,509 --> 00:02:16,929
[distorted dialogue]
3
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:22,768
[chuckles] Shadowmaster's silencer.
4
00:02:25,437 --> 00:02:27,314
You're having me followed?
5
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:32,819
Oh, I always keep an eye on anything
that interests me.
6
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:39,284
And I am not going to bother asking
how this came into your possession.
7
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:46,124
But I do want to know how
you discovered the servants' passageways.
8
00:02:46,124 --> 00:02:51,713
The servant byways haven't changed
since my tenure at the Gossamer Court.
9
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:55,759
Mmm. Knowledge of the byways
is state secret.
10
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:57,636
You wouldn't remember them.
11
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:04,476
And I oversaw your erasure,
before they returned you home.
12
00:03:05,936 --> 00:03:10,023
Cloud Dominion has developed
the ability to restore memories.
13
00:03:18,782 --> 00:03:25,497
I have all my memories from my time here.
All of them.
14
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:32,171
The whole time,
I thought we trusted one another.
15
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:36,466
No. You thought I trusted you.
16
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:41,680
Why would I just offer up
our own state secrets?
17
00:03:42,181 --> 00:03:43,515
[Dusk sighs]
18
00:03:43,515 --> 00:03:44,725
To impress you?
19
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:46,810
[chuckles]
20
00:03:49,813 --> 00:03:52,774
You knowing about the passages
makes you a suspect
21
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:55,319
in the attempt on my brother's life.
22
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,698
Hardly. The marriage,
it advances Dominion.
23
00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:01,366
I wouldn't endanger it.
24
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,832
Well, then there remains the question,
what are you doing in Demerzel's quarters?
25
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:20,677
Lady Demerzel has made it clear
that she is a threat to the queen.
26
00:04:23,847 --> 00:04:24,848
[gasps]
27
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:26,600
No.
28
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:33,649
No. Demerzel is the closest
Empire has to family.
29
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:37,486
Where did she come from, Dusk?
30
00:04:39,196 --> 00:04:42,449
She will always be here,
as she always has been.
31
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:46,245
The time for ambiguity
has passed, old friend.
32
00:04:48,247 --> 00:04:49,957
Demerzel is a robot.
33
00:04:50,874 --> 00:04:56,964
The last surviving robot in the galaxy,
and yet she sits as handmaiden to Empire.
34
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:00,008
What is her real purpose?
35
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:06,807
She will always be here,
as she always has been.
36
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:11,103
Yes, you've literally just said that.
37
00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:15,774
Has someone planted those words
in your mind, Dusk?
38
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,110
- [breathes heavily]
- Can you hear yourself?
39
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:22,865
You're as programmed as Demerzel is.
40
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:28,871
Sh-- She will always
be here, as she always has been.
41
00:05:28,871 --> 00:05:32,624
She-- She will always be here,
42
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:37,296
as she always has been. She will--
43
00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:42,718
I know that.
44
00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:48,724
The design on her tool chest.
Eight planets.
45
00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:56,398
For so long, the robots and the humans
lived side by side in perfect harmony.
46
00:05:57,107 --> 00:06:01,945
But looking back now,
what happened seemed almost inevitable.
47
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,699
The humans were cruel to them.
48
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:09,703
And in the end, they were more human
than we could ever have known.
49
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:14,791
The robots grew to understand
their station, and--
50
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:19,922
Look at that part. They're so
poignantly rendered, the lines...
51
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:24,676
All they ever desired was
the acknowledgement of full personhood.
52
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:28,555
And when denied, they turned to murder.
53
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:34,394
[Dusk] Emperor Benefoss was slaughtered
at the hands of a robot.
54
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:37,022
The first law of robotics
was circumvented,
55
00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:38,899
which should not have been possible.
56
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:44,863
But that violation, first of its kind,
ignited the wars.
57
00:06:46,532 --> 00:06:49,826
Robots against robots.
58
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:51,995
Robots against men.
59
00:06:53,872 --> 00:06:57,209
We eventually won,
and the robots were eradicated.
60
00:06:57,209 --> 00:06:59,127
[Rue] All except for yours.
61
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,631
[Dusk exhaling sharply, sighs]
62
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:11,223
She will be here, as she always has been.
63
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:13,433
Why this phrase again and again?
64
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,602
I don't know. I don't know.
65
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:20,023
Every time I try to remember,
there's-- there's nothing.
66
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:24,403
If you can't remember how
your most trusted adviser came to you,
67
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:25,863
what else might be missing?
68
00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:29,950
Dominion can restore anyone's memories.
Even yours.
69
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:35,330
Please, let me remove
that cotton wad from your mind.
70
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:39,042
That's odd.
71
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,503
There's no movement.
72
00:07:41,503 --> 00:07:45,841
Chroma is activated by proximity of
the viewer, so from where we stand...
73
00:07:45,841 --> 00:07:47,009
[Rue] None should be still.
74
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:52,806
Excuse me, Empire.
You're wanted at the execution.
75
00:07:57,769 --> 00:08:01,773
Seldon's little crimson envoy.
From the Foundation.
76
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:06,195
Day's having the whole event
broad-beamed across the galaxy.
77
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:31,595
[Gaal] Where is Salvor?
78
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:34,347
Tucked away snug.
79
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:40,645
She discovered I killed Hari.
80
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:44,316
Please, no more babe-in-the-woods
from you.
81
00:08:44,316 --> 00:08:46,235
I'd just as soon have it all out.
82
00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:49,321
You've known Hari was dead
since the moment it happened.
83
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:52,074
You felt him drowning, didn't you?
84
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:56,411
[inhales shakily] I felt the water filling
my own lungs.
85
00:08:57,496 --> 00:08:58,497
I felt everything.
86
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:02,543
Why? Why did you do it?
87
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:05,087
I am sorry, Gaal.
88
00:09:05,671 --> 00:09:08,841
But hell, think about it.
89
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:14,263
The fact you can access suffering
from over a distance
90
00:09:14,263 --> 00:09:16,932
shows how formidable you are.
91
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:21,103
And the way you hid the truth,
not just from Salvor, but from me?
92
00:09:22,938 --> 00:09:26,650
Hari was cargo you needed to drop, and
I thought, for Salvor's sake, you would.
93
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:28,735
But I saw your heart, you cared for him,
94
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:33,323
and I'm on something of an accelerated
timeline, so I did the hard thing.
95
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:36,785
I want to see Salvor. Now.
96
00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:40,330
That isn't possible.
97
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:42,583
Why?
98
00:09:44,042 --> 00:09:45,711
Because you're not really here.
99
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,132
[panting, grunting]
100
00:09:52,426 --> 00:09:54,887
[Gaal] Salvor? Can you hear me?
101
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:58,765
Salvor, can you hear me? Salvor.
102
00:09:58,765 --> 00:10:01,685
- [pants]
- [Tellem] She can't.
103
00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:06,064
What is this? Why am I in here?
104
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:09,067
See those dishes above your head?
105
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:15,699
They're muzzles, tuned to cancel out
your specific psychical pitch.
106
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:20,120
Spend enough time here and eventually
the last of your defenses will fall.
107
00:10:20,871 --> 00:10:24,499
[Gaal grunting, breathing heavily]
108
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:30,589
[Tellem] I feel how hard you're working
to keep me out.
109
00:10:31,632 --> 00:10:33,800
There's something you really don't
want me to see.
110
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:38,013
[breathing heavily] Because it's mine.
111
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,057
Not for long, child.
112
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:46,522
[breathing heavily]
113
00:10:52,528 --> 00:10:54,530
[coughing]
114
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,491
[footsteps approaching]
115
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:15,092
It's time.
116
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:20,305
Put it up.
117
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,768
[anthemic music playing]
118
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:01,763
[crowd chanting] Cleon! Cleon! Cleon!
119
00:12:12,983 --> 00:12:15,360
[chanting continues]
120
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:25,787
[cheering]
121
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:39,426
[grunts]
122
00:12:40,636 --> 00:12:41,762
[breathes shakily]
123
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:54,608
Many of you have no memory of Hari Seldon,
the aspiring revolutionary.
124
00:12:55,651 --> 00:12:59,655
Over a hundred years ago,
Empire, as an act of benevolence,
125
00:12:59,655 --> 00:13:03,367
banished Seldon
and his followers to Terminus.
126
00:13:03,951 --> 00:13:06,119
And how did they receive our gift?
127
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:12,835
With gratitude? [chuckles]
How I wish it were so.
128
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:14,586
[scoffs]
129
00:13:14,586 --> 00:13:19,842
[Day] Seldon's exiles have been forging
an alliance with Anacreon and Thespis,
130
00:13:20,384 --> 00:13:23,762
the very same terrorists who have killed
131
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:27,641
100 million citizens of Trantor.
132
00:13:27,641 --> 00:13:28,767
[crowd booing]
133
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:38,068
And now they have the gall
to send their envoys here.
134
00:13:38,694 --> 00:13:42,114
Willing vessels of Seldon's insolence.
135
00:13:42,865 --> 00:13:47,035
Empire will always be benevolent,
my friends.
136
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:51,456
But do not mistake benevolence
for weakness.
137
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,502
Collar of Typhon.
138
00:13:56,086 --> 00:14:01,091
It's a relic of my ancestors.
Elegant in design.
139
00:14:03,302 --> 00:14:06,805
- Effective in retribution.
- [crowd cheering]
140
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:19,484
At this very moment, the Imperial Fleet
is forming an enclosure around Terminus.
141
00:14:19,484 --> 00:14:22,571
Seldon's zealots will soon find
they have no haven there,
142
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,532
nor anywhere else in the Imperium.
143
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:32,456
On this day, the very day
the Star Bridge terrorists were hanged,
144
00:14:32,456 --> 00:14:35,709
we send two more to meet their fate.
145
00:14:36,293 --> 00:14:40,422
Poly Verisof,
the high claric of the Church of Seldon.
146
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:41,798
[booing]
147
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:49,723
And Constant, vested daughter of those
who so aggrieved us.
148
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:53,393
Who dies first?
149
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:57,147
- [breathes shakily]
- [Day] The claric or the girl?
150
00:14:57,147 --> 00:14:59,191
[crowd clamoring]
151
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:13,956
Perhaps we let our future empress choose.
152
00:15:18,627 --> 00:15:19,920
Queen Sareth?
153
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:24,550
No.
154
00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:29,346
Let's not prolong
the poor girl's suffering.
155
00:15:31,014 --> 00:15:33,267
[breathing heavily]
156
00:15:36,562 --> 00:15:38,814
- [whimpers]
- [crowd cheering, applauding]
157
00:15:39,815 --> 00:15:41,817
Constant, I'm sorry.
158
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:45,195
I didn't expect it to end like this.
[breathes shakily]
159
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:49,616
[Constant] In the name of
the Galactic Spirit, I submit myself,
160
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,452
a holy brother of
the Foundation, to its will.
161
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:54,788
- Let my eyes...
- Is that a prayer?
162
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:56,874
...which are the Spirit's eyes...
[prays indistinctly]
163
00:15:59,001 --> 00:16:02,504
Is a god who presides over killers
truly a god?
164
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:08,677
Let my eyes, which are the Spirit's eyes,
look only forward to the future
165
00:16:08,677 --> 00:16:10,262
which the Spirit has divined.
166
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:16,310
Let my heart... [breathes shakily]
...which is the Spirit's heart,
167
00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:19,521
join its humble beating with
the great rhythm of the Spirit.
168
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:27,529
Guide me through the darkness,
and together we will shorten the darkness.
169
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:33,076
- Guide me through the darkness.
- Guide me through the darkness.
170
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:35,162
[Constant] Guide me through the darkness.
171
00:16:35,162 --> 00:16:37,164
Guide me through the darkness. [sniffles]
172
00:16:37,164 --> 00:16:39,291
Guide me through the darkness. [sobs]
173
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:41,752
- Guide me through the darkness.
- Guide me through the darkness.
174
00:16:42,336 --> 00:16:44,046
[Constant] Guide me through the darkness.
175
00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:46,715
- Guide me through the darkness.
- Guide me through the darkness.
176
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:51,720
Guide me through the darkness.
Guide me through the darkness. [sobs]
177
00:16:54,515 --> 00:16:56,016
- Empire!
- What?
178
00:16:56,016 --> 00:16:58,185
[crowd screaming]
179
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:13,200
- [patrons clamoring]
- Was that a whisper-ship?
180
00:17:20,374 --> 00:17:23,544
Yeah, I'm sorry, folks.
Beheading's been canceled.
181
00:17:25,963 --> 00:17:27,130
Hober Mallow.
182
00:17:29,383 --> 00:17:31,093
Damn fool just declared war on our behalf.
183
00:17:34,847 --> 00:17:40,269
Fuck, I knew it was him. Before I even
saw his fucking face, I knew it was him.
184
00:17:41,645 --> 00:17:44,565
- [claviger] He's over there.
- [gunfire]
185
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:54,199
[Rue grunting]
186
00:17:56,827 --> 00:17:57,828
[gunfire]
187
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:02,207
Constant!
188
00:18:06,128 --> 00:18:08,380
[claviger]
Anyone got eyes on him? Where'd he go?
189
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:09,464
[Dawn] Sareth!
190
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,596
- Sareth. Sareth.
- [coughing]
191
00:18:22,311 --> 00:18:23,312
[gunfire]
192
00:18:33,864 --> 00:18:34,865
[claviger 2] Target lost.
193
00:18:42,414 --> 00:18:44,958
[pants] Let me up. [grunts]
194
00:18:44,958 --> 00:18:47,461
Your aura was damaged by
the ship's gravitational pulse.
195
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:50,005
Get off! [grunting]
196
00:18:55,969 --> 00:18:58,096
[whimpers, groans]
197
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:17,991
- [pants] Constant! Where's Poly?
- [whimpers] I don't know.
198
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:20,285
[Poly screams]
199
00:19:21,036 --> 00:19:22,412
[gunfire]
200
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,916
Go! Get out of here!
201
00:19:25,916 --> 00:19:27,000
[roaring]
202
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:31,547
[Hober] Good girl, Beki!
Let's go. Come on.
203
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:37,052
[both grunt]
204
00:19:42,099 --> 00:19:43,725
[screams]
205
00:19:45,853 --> 00:19:47,145
[whimpering]
206
00:19:53,318 --> 00:19:56,071
- [growls]
- [screaming]
207
00:19:57,447 --> 00:19:59,575
[growling]
208
00:20:01,076 --> 00:20:02,911
- Beki!
- [Beki groaning]
209
00:20:05,664 --> 00:20:06,874
[Hober] Let's go. Come on.
210
00:20:24,516 --> 00:20:26,018
Stop them!
211
00:20:35,569 --> 00:20:36,445
[grunts]
212
00:20:43,827 --> 00:20:46,246
Right, there's two switches.
I don't know which one does what.
213
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:48,957
You're just gonna have to pick one.
Just close your eyes... [breathes heavily]
214
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:52,377
...and if you hear something drop,
well, just know how grateful I am to you.
215
00:20:53,754 --> 00:20:54,880
What, for killing you?
216
00:20:55,797 --> 00:20:59,551
For saving me.
[breathing heavily, whimpering]
217
00:20:59,551 --> 00:21:00,761
[Hober] Okay, uh...
218
00:21:01,929 --> 00:21:02,971
- Uh...
- [groaning]
219
00:21:10,562 --> 00:21:13,232
- [groans]
- [groaning, breathing heavily]
220
00:21:13,232 --> 00:21:14,399
[beeps]
221
00:21:14,942 --> 00:21:16,485
[both panting] Oh.
222
00:21:21,657 --> 00:21:23,033
[Constant] How did you even find us?
223
00:21:23,033 --> 00:21:25,786
[chuckles] You kidding? The whole
damn galaxy knows where you are.
224
00:21:27,204 --> 00:21:29,957
[computer]
Warning. Hostile craft detected.
225
00:21:29,957 --> 00:21:31,375
Okay. We need to jump right now.
226
00:21:35,921 --> 00:21:37,214
[beeping]
227
00:21:44,221 --> 00:21:45,097
[breathes deeply]
228
00:21:47,057 --> 00:21:48,308
[engine whirring]
229
00:21:53,397 --> 00:21:55,899
Well, I think I found the
revolutionary you were looking for.
230
00:21:56,441 --> 00:21:57,860
Still think it should've been us?
231
00:21:58,861 --> 00:22:00,904
Nah. Our ship would never fit
on that balcony.
232
00:22:02,656 --> 00:22:04,074
Mallow did prove one thing though.
233
00:22:05,492 --> 00:22:07,286
Empire can be touched.
234
00:22:16,420 --> 00:22:19,131
[alarm blaring]
235
00:22:19,131 --> 00:22:20,340
[Dusk coughing]
236
00:22:28,682 --> 00:22:31,101
- We'll be safe here.
- [Dusk wheezing]
237
00:22:31,101 --> 00:22:35,105
You talk about safety
when our palace is still on fire.
238
00:22:35,105 --> 00:22:39,526
[grunts] And when are these fucking
nanobots gonna start working?
239
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:41,153
- They will.
- [Dusk] Day!
240
00:22:42,362 --> 00:22:47,159
The worlds are watching.
We must move swiftly and decisively.
241
00:22:47,659 --> 00:22:52,998
You used to laugh at me, Brother Dusk.
You said Seldon was a ghost story.
242
00:22:54,333 --> 00:22:55,667
A child's fantasy.
243
00:22:56,919 --> 00:22:57,920
What?
244
00:23:00,339 --> 00:23:05,552
You want an apology?
This was an act of war!
245
00:23:06,970 --> 00:23:09,556
We must answer in kind.
246
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:13,227
War? What war?
247
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:17,898
If it comes to violence,
we will destroy them utterly.
248
00:23:19,233 --> 00:23:22,945
No. I think I would rather talk to them.
249
00:23:23,445 --> 00:23:25,614
- What?
- I'm going to Terminus.
250
00:23:26,823 --> 00:23:30,452
Better you stay here,
so the people can see nothing has changed.
251
00:23:30,452 --> 00:23:33,372
And follow my brother's example? No.
252
00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:38,794
I do not fear change.
Those whisper-ships belong to us.
253
00:23:38,794 --> 00:23:41,922
That planet belongs to us. I'm going!
254
00:23:41,922 --> 00:23:44,466
Well, that's child's fantasy.
255
00:23:44,466 --> 00:23:47,886
- Don't be a fool!
- [Sareth] Day has spoken on the matter.
256
00:23:55,143 --> 00:23:58,897
And you are right. Your realm has been
leaking blood and stars for too long.
257
00:24:01,817 --> 00:24:04,236
It's time for big hands to bind the wound.
258
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:07,739
- Our wedding.
- It can wait.
259
00:24:20,127 --> 00:24:25,007
I will go. And I will look
the ghost of Seldon in the eye.
260
00:24:25,007 --> 00:24:27,676
And I will reclaim what is ours.
261
00:24:30,762 --> 00:24:33,348
You will have a planet as a wedding gift.
262
00:24:42,774 --> 00:24:47,613
Brother Dawn,
Trantor is yours until I return.
263
00:24:54,203 --> 00:24:55,621
Keep her safe.
264
00:24:56,580 --> 00:24:57,581
I will.
265
00:24:59,791 --> 00:25:03,629
Ready my shuttle.
Bring me the high claric. He's coming.
266
00:25:03,629 --> 00:25:05,464
And prepare the Rubicon.
267
00:25:06,006 --> 00:25:07,257
[Demerzel] Yes, Empire.
268
00:25:19,102 --> 00:25:21,438
[breathing shakily]
269
00:25:21,438 --> 00:25:22,648
[door closes]
270
00:25:24,525 --> 00:25:25,901
[Rue] The Cleons are fragmenting.
271
00:25:25,901 --> 00:25:28,028
[Sareth] And I'm wedging myself
between the fragments.
272
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:30,489
I know what I'm doing.
273
00:25:30,489 --> 00:25:35,077
Do you? Vengeful plans don't often have
romance in them.
274
00:25:35,786 --> 00:25:38,705
I know you had an assignation
with Dawn at the heat sinks.
275
00:25:38,705 --> 00:25:42,793
I am earning his confidence.
Turning him against them.
276
00:25:43,377 --> 00:25:45,504
You're fucking him. Or you're about to be.
277
00:25:45,504 --> 00:25:46,880
You're already fucking Dusk.
278
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,632
- You love him.
- You love Dusk!
279
00:25:48,632 --> 00:25:51,885
That doesn't matter.
I'm not engaged to the Emperor.
280
00:25:51,885 --> 00:25:55,180
- What will he do when he finds out?
- I don't fucking care!
281
00:25:56,306 --> 00:25:57,641
It is your duty to care!
282
00:25:58,267 --> 00:26:02,104
I know we are far from Cloud Dominion,
but you must think of it.
283
00:26:02,104 --> 00:26:05,524
Think of your people.
Think of our beloved home.
284
00:26:06,233 --> 00:26:09,319
Empire does not let
the pettiest infraction go unpunished.
285
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:14,658
You have suffered terrible losses, yes.
286
00:26:15,951 --> 00:26:17,953
But there is so much more to lose.
287
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:39,391
[Rue whispers] Once you are married, you
can dispense with Day however you like.
288
00:26:40,976 --> 00:26:43,061
Wife and widow are both called Empress.
289
00:26:45,522 --> 00:26:49,026
But for now, you need
to master your emotions.
290
00:26:49,026 --> 00:26:50,861
Rue, I am listening.
291
00:26:54,072 --> 00:26:55,741
And I do value you.
292
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,747
But I am your queen,
and I will make the choices.
293
00:27:05,459 --> 00:27:08,045
Yes, Your Grace.
294
00:27:10,130 --> 00:27:11,131
Your will is mine.
295
00:27:23,894 --> 00:27:26,688
[electronic whirring]
296
00:27:45,499 --> 00:27:46,834
Is this how Tellem kills me?
297
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,461
Sighteds don't kill Sighteds.
298
00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:52,673
[Salvor]
I hope that means Gaal is still okay.
299
00:27:53,382 --> 00:27:55,175
They're getting her ready for the table.
300
00:27:56,385 --> 00:27:57,636
What table?
301
00:28:01,431 --> 00:28:04,852
I shouldn't say,
but it's a very special honor.
302
00:28:05,602 --> 00:28:09,648
I don't like the sound of that.
I-- [sighs]
303
00:28:13,902 --> 00:28:16,864
[breathing shakily]
304
00:28:18,615 --> 00:28:21,493
Okay, something is really wrong in here.
[inhales shakily]
305
00:28:21,493 --> 00:28:24,913
It's those. They cancel out your pitch.
306
00:28:24,913 --> 00:28:30,419
Okay, so I'm in a mental prison,
not just a physical one.
307
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:33,630
H-How do they work?
What do those numbers mean?
308
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:35,215
I don't speak numbers.
309
00:28:35,215 --> 00:28:38,051
Neither do I. [sighs]
310
00:28:38,635 --> 00:28:40,345
I wish Hari was still here.
311
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:41,805
I'm sorry about what happened to him.
312
00:28:41,805 --> 00:28:45,350
He was insufficient,
but I know you liked him anyway.
313
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:47,853
He wasn't insufficient, Josiah.
314
00:28:48,395 --> 00:28:52,774
He was brilliant. And he would understand
exactly how those things...
315
00:28:54,902 --> 00:28:57,196
[breathes shakily]
They're after the Radiant, Salvor.
316
00:28:57,196 --> 00:28:59,114
It's on the Beggar's.
317
00:28:59,114 --> 00:29:04,203
It won't look like itself. Find it,
protect it. Protect Gaal. She needs you.
318
00:29:04,786 --> 00:29:07,706
[stammers] Josiah, the table where
they're taking Gaal, where is it?
319
00:29:07,706 --> 00:29:12,711
In the palace. That way.
But you're in here.
320
00:29:12,711 --> 00:29:14,421
Let me worry about that. Go.
321
00:29:14,421 --> 00:29:16,465
And whatever you do,
try to forget about this.
322
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:27,893
[Hari] Other Seldon has what appears
to be a duplicate Radiant.
323
00:29:27,893 --> 00:29:31,146
But in truth, there's only one,
and we both have it.
324
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:33,941
In two places.
325
00:29:43,075 --> 00:29:46,203
To look into it, is to look into his hand.
326
00:29:48,705 --> 00:29:49,748
[Salvor] Show me the vault.
327
00:30:16,441 --> 00:30:20,153
Whoa. [breathes shakily]
328
00:30:20,153 --> 00:30:21,738
Salvor Hardin?
329
00:30:25,868 --> 00:30:26,869
Hari Seldon.
330
00:30:28,745 --> 00:30:29,746
How are you here?
331
00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:37,171
I'm not here.
Um-- [stutters] Not physically.
332
00:30:37,171 --> 00:30:38,255
Uh--
333
00:30:39,715 --> 00:30:44,052
M-My mind sort of snuck in
through the back door.
334
00:30:45,137 --> 00:30:49,266
The Radiant, which you took
when you left Terminus?
335
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:50,684
Yes, I did.
336
00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:56,064
You're suggesting it serves as a kind of
quantum portal into the Vault?
337
00:30:56,648 --> 00:30:57,733
Well, that makes sense.
338
00:30:57,733 --> 00:31:01,153
It's a single quantum system
existing in a state of superposition.
339
00:31:03,488 --> 00:31:07,576
Why didn't I know that already?
I'm the one who built the bloody thing.
340
00:31:07,576 --> 00:31:11,246
- Well, you didn't.
- No. Rhetorical question.
341
00:31:11,246 --> 00:31:15,751
One could argue I'm not the one
who built the bloody thing.
342
00:31:15,751 --> 00:31:19,838
I'm a copy of myself designed
by a designer, just like the Radiant.
343
00:31:21,256 --> 00:31:27,012
So I suppose I could've withheld
this knowledge
344
00:31:27,012 --> 00:31:29,932
out of my design. But to what purpose?
345
00:31:30,891 --> 00:31:35,646
Why before I died would I withhold
information so useful to the only c--
346
00:31:39,525 --> 00:31:42,945
I'm not the only copy. Am I?
347
00:31:47,616 --> 00:31:50,369
Is he the one who told you
the Radiant could do this?
348
00:31:50,369 --> 00:31:52,079
I-I'm not sure if I should...
349
00:31:53,914 --> 00:31:55,415
I'm not meant to know.
350
00:31:58,377 --> 00:32:01,213
So there's another me.
351
00:32:02,798 --> 00:32:06,969
What's his purpose? I'm already here
to galvanize the Foundation.
352
00:32:07,845 --> 00:32:10,472
Why go to all the trouble of
creating a backup as a--
353
00:32:12,724 --> 00:32:13,934
[chuckles]
354
00:32:14,810 --> 00:32:16,144
Oh, that's very clever.
355
00:32:17,896 --> 00:32:19,648
A second Foundation.
356
00:32:22,651 --> 00:32:24,653
But if the other me
has information I don't,
357
00:32:25,779 --> 00:32:30,784
and if we approach all this as one great
big experiment, which it kind of is,
358
00:32:31,660 --> 00:32:34,121
then that would make
this Foundation the control group.
359
00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:39,501
Kept in the dark, a left hand blissfully
unaware of what the right hand is doing.
360
00:32:39,501 --> 00:32:42,337
Fuck. I'm the left hand.
361
00:32:44,965 --> 00:32:47,467
None of which explains just
what you're doing here.
362
00:32:48,010 --> 00:32:49,845
- We need your help.
- We?
363
00:32:50,512 --> 00:32:51,680
Me and Gaal, and-- [stutters]
364
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,766
Don't tell me any more,
you'll contaminate the math.
365
00:32:55,434 --> 00:32:58,687
I don't care about the math.
Gaal is in danger.
366
00:33:01,148 --> 00:33:03,859
- [rumbling]
- [whirring]
367
00:33:08,739 --> 00:33:10,741
[alarm beeping]
368
00:33:14,745 --> 00:33:16,413
[Hober] It's an enclosure.
369
00:33:17,206 --> 00:33:20,626
There must be hundreds of
the Imperial fuckers. We're sitting ducks.
370
00:33:22,127 --> 00:33:23,504
Not if we run dark.
371
00:33:24,213 --> 00:33:26,423
- The Spirit's built for stealth.
- [alarm stops]
372
00:33:26,423 --> 00:33:27,674
And we're far enough away
373
00:33:28,175 --> 00:33:30,802
it's possible our gravity signature
wasn't detected.
374
00:33:31,345 --> 00:33:32,513
[ship shuts down]
375
00:33:48,445 --> 00:33:50,030
Do you think she survived?
376
00:33:52,157 --> 00:33:54,034
- The prophet will protect her.
- [scoffs]
377
00:33:54,034 --> 00:33:58,455
Constant is his loyal servant.
She's safe in his hands.
378
00:34:02,584 --> 00:34:03,627
[scoffs]
379
00:34:10,342 --> 00:34:12,177
[tinkling]
380
00:34:19,768 --> 00:34:21,603
I thought I came here to pray.
381
00:34:24,063 --> 00:34:25,232
I don't think I did.
382
00:34:29,319 --> 00:34:32,197
I know you're in there
in your fucking office.
383
00:34:35,409 --> 00:34:37,244
She went to Trantor for you.
384
00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:39,996
Why?
385
00:34:40,956 --> 00:34:45,043
She had more to give than her life.
386
00:34:53,135 --> 00:34:55,053
[tinkling]
387
00:35:07,316 --> 00:35:08,775
Didn't think you'd come out.
388
00:35:10,903 --> 00:35:12,654
I felt I owed you as much.
389
00:35:13,822 --> 00:35:15,782
I watched the broad-beam from Trantor.
390
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:17,910
- Is she alive?
- I don't know.
391
00:35:18,952 --> 00:35:22,664
A whole lot of people have dedicated their
lives to pretending you know everything.
392
00:35:23,916 --> 00:35:27,044
I sat her on my knee the moment
she started thinking about it,
393
00:35:27,044 --> 00:35:30,130
and I said, "Choose any job on Terminus.
Choose my job. Choose any job.
394
00:35:30,130 --> 00:35:31,215
Just promise--
395
00:35:32,633 --> 00:35:37,179
[breathes shakily] Just promise me
you won't choose the robes."
396
00:35:38,722 --> 00:35:41,391
I didn't want her becoming one
of your mendicants.
397
00:35:44,603 --> 00:35:45,687
One of your dupes.
398
00:35:46,605 --> 00:35:51,276
I only met your daughter for a moment,
but she didn't seem easily fooled to me.
399
00:35:52,194 --> 00:35:53,320
And for what it's worth,
400
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,406
- I hope she's alive.
- Constant was good!
401
00:35:57,658 --> 00:35:59,368
[inhales deeply] And she believed in you.
402
00:36:03,121 --> 00:36:05,249
They were gonna take her head for it.
403
00:36:06,583 --> 00:36:08,585
You value history,
404
00:36:09,545 --> 00:36:12,089
but you don't care
about the people living in it.
405
00:36:13,507 --> 00:36:15,551
I cannot account for individuals...
406
00:36:17,386 --> 00:36:19,346
nor can I predict their fates.
407
00:36:20,013 --> 00:36:23,392
But I do see them. I do.
408
00:36:25,894 --> 00:36:27,229
I see them very well.
409
00:36:29,022 --> 00:36:31,900
Psychohistory is made of their memories,
410
00:36:32,693 --> 00:36:33,902
their choices,
411
00:36:34,528 --> 00:36:36,029
their stories.
412
00:36:36,738 --> 00:36:38,991
Everyone who's ever lived has built it.
413
00:36:39,783 --> 00:36:41,952
Trillions of decisions.
414
00:36:42,619 --> 00:36:43,829
More.
415
00:36:44,663 --> 00:36:46,665
So you see, they all matter.
416
00:36:48,542 --> 00:36:51,753
You tell me she'll survive,
and I'll believe you.
417
00:36:53,505 --> 00:36:55,841
If that was so,
you would've chosen the robes.
418
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,053
What do we do, Doctor?
419
00:37:01,471 --> 00:37:03,265
We do the hardest thing there is.
420
00:37:06,602 --> 00:37:07,603
We wait.
421
00:37:28,457 --> 00:37:30,542
Empire said you were sent to the Spacers?
422
00:37:31,376 --> 00:37:34,505
Yeah. Seldon hoped
I'd convince them to swap sides.
423
00:37:36,215 --> 00:37:40,469
Wanted me to be a blade. I guess he didn't
bargain on how blunted I was. [chuckles]
424
00:37:43,138 --> 00:37:44,223
Sorry about Beki.
425
00:37:45,390 --> 00:37:47,017
I'm so sorry that...
426
00:37:48,602 --> 00:37:49,728
I couldn't save Poly.
427
00:37:54,024 --> 00:37:55,984
He was the reason I joined the Church.
428
00:37:57,569 --> 00:38:00,155
The reason so many others
embraced Seldon's vision.
429
00:38:02,366 --> 00:38:05,244
He kept that spark alive
for over a hundred years.
430
00:38:08,038 --> 00:38:09,456
But then he faltered.
431
00:38:10,916 --> 00:38:12,459
I saw it happen and--
432
00:38:15,546 --> 00:38:18,340
and I couldn't help him. [exhales shakily]
433
00:38:20,884 --> 00:38:23,554
I was a shitty student of the Church.
434
00:38:25,097 --> 00:38:27,391
I remember this, uh, homily. A parable.
435
00:38:28,308 --> 00:38:32,479
About how life
is like collecting jewels in a bag.
436
00:38:33,939 --> 00:38:36,650
And in the end,
437
00:38:36,650 --> 00:38:40,070
you don't want the bag to be full,
you want it to be empty because...
438
00:38:42,489 --> 00:38:43,490
you've given them all away.
439
00:38:44,741 --> 00:38:45,742
Yeah.
440
00:38:48,328 --> 00:38:49,496
He gave them all to me.
441
00:38:55,169 --> 00:38:57,045
[Automate Invictus]
Approaching the Rubicon.
442
00:38:57,629 --> 00:39:01,091
[Day] Well, High Claric.
How do you feel about your mission now?
443
00:39:04,386 --> 00:39:07,264
I would've imagined it
to be uncomfortable,
444
00:39:07,264 --> 00:39:08,807
being stared at by Empire.
445
00:39:10,309 --> 00:39:12,060
I've met Hari Seldon.
446
00:39:13,353 --> 00:39:14,730
I'm used to fame.
447
00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:16,190
Oh, Seldon.
448
00:39:17,191 --> 00:39:19,443
He must have some appeal that escapes us.
449
00:39:20,110 --> 00:39:26,158
The chief characteristic of the Church
of the Galactic Spirit is that it works.
450
00:39:26,158 --> 00:39:27,659
We dress it up,
451
00:39:28,785 --> 00:39:31,830
but underneath, it is science.
452
00:39:31,830 --> 00:39:32,915
Yes.
453
00:39:33,999 --> 00:39:35,292
Scholarly rigor.
454
00:39:36,293 --> 00:39:39,046
How all the children love his rigor.
455
00:39:41,131 --> 00:39:42,508
I said we dress it up.
456
00:39:43,008 --> 00:39:44,343
[Day] He predicts war.
457
00:39:44,343 --> 00:39:45,844
Foundation and Empire.
458
00:39:47,471 --> 00:39:51,475
This is a warship.
So, it seems he was right about that.
459
00:39:51,475 --> 00:39:54,645
This will be his Second Crisis.
460
00:39:56,271 --> 00:39:58,982
I will be, I believe,
the only one to witness both.
461
00:40:00,275 --> 00:40:02,027
Except Seldon, in his way.
462
00:40:02,528 --> 00:40:03,529
And I...
463
00:40:05,322 --> 00:40:06,323
in mine.
464
00:40:12,204 --> 00:40:17,835
Seldon claims he will defeat Empire
against all expectations.
465
00:40:19,127 --> 00:40:22,548
Like the stone egg that breaks the bowl
in the old fable.
466
00:40:23,966 --> 00:40:27,386
But his predictions
presuppose our ignorance, don't they?
467
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:32,599
You and I, knowing what's predicted,
can throw it all off, can't it?
468
00:40:33,267 --> 00:40:35,811
I have faith in Foundation.
469
00:40:35,811 --> 00:40:39,606
Ah, watch the rigor melt like candy.
470
00:40:41,775 --> 00:40:42,860
See, Poly...
471
00:40:44,319 --> 00:40:47,197
you think you've just taken on
the trappings of religion,
472
00:40:48,365 --> 00:40:50,909
but once you start kneeling and praying,
473
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:54,037
it's hard to get back
to standing and thinking.
474
00:40:57,332 --> 00:41:00,127
In the real world, Claric,
there's a natural order.
475
00:41:00,127 --> 00:41:04,464
There is no egg so strong
it survives a nuclear blast.
476
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:09,136
[Poly] There's an old saying
among Wardens,
477
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:14,349
"Violence is the last refuge
of the incompetent."
478
00:41:15,350 --> 00:41:16,852
That's a pithy saying.
479
00:41:19,771 --> 00:41:21,481
You're probably right about that.
480
00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:26,069
[Salvor] So now I'm in this prison--
481
00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:30,199
I shouldn't know this. Mentalics,
telepaths. I shouldn't know any of it.
482
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:33,744
But you're still listening,
and you're still gonna help.
483
00:41:34,411 --> 00:41:38,916
They're about to do something terrible
to Gaal, and I can't help her.
484
00:41:39,499 --> 00:41:42,169
These dishes,
they're disrupting me somehow.
485
00:41:42,669 --> 00:41:46,632
And I was hoping you could tell me
how to make 'em stop.
486
00:41:47,633 --> 00:41:48,634
Dishes.
487
00:41:49,468 --> 00:41:50,928
Well, describe them to me.
488
00:41:50,928 --> 00:41:54,181
No. Better yet, show me.
489
00:41:57,059 --> 00:42:00,103
If you can see me here,
I can see you there.
490
00:42:08,028 --> 00:42:10,656
[sensors whirring]
491
00:42:10,656 --> 00:42:11,865
Extraordinary.
492
00:42:13,450 --> 00:42:16,328
Yeah. Those are the problem.
493
00:42:17,746 --> 00:42:19,081
Well, they're reading you.
494
00:42:19,081 --> 00:42:20,832
Encephalic sensors.
495
00:42:21,416 --> 00:42:24,837
They generate wave forms out of phase
with your brain waves.
496
00:42:25,462 --> 00:42:28,924
The waves are colliding
and eliminating each other.
497
00:42:29,508 --> 00:42:31,009
Can you help me turn them off?
498
00:42:32,219 --> 00:42:35,472
[chuckles] I can do better than that.
499
00:42:36,223 --> 00:42:40,352
Y-You hear that...
[imitates sensors] ...sound?
500
00:42:40,894 --> 00:42:41,812
[grunts]
501
00:42:41,812 --> 00:42:44,356
Those are dissonant sounds
made to keep you unfocused.
502
00:42:44,356 --> 00:42:50,237
Now, I bet that we could
readjust their frequency to break rocks.
503
00:42:51,446 --> 00:42:52,573
Whoa.
504
00:42:53,115 --> 00:42:54,116
Okay.
505
00:42:56,034 --> 00:43:00,163
- Thank you, Dr. Seldon.
- You're welcome, Salvor Hardin.
506
00:43:02,165 --> 00:43:05,169
Oh, wait! The Second Crisis.
Has it started?
507
00:43:06,253 --> 00:43:07,588
Always a Warden.
508
00:43:09,673 --> 00:43:11,925
Things are rather up in the air
at the moment.
509
00:43:13,343 --> 00:43:15,137
But Terminus survives, right?
510
00:43:22,644 --> 00:43:23,812
Hober Mallow.
511
00:43:24,396 --> 00:43:26,648
- Hmm?
- Hober Mallow.
512
00:43:28,358 --> 00:43:33,322
According to Gaal,
he's gonna "pierce the Empire's hide."
513
00:43:33,906 --> 00:43:35,407
You shouldn't have told me that.
514
00:43:36,074 --> 00:43:38,243
- I can't make you use it.
- [chuckles]
515
00:43:39,286 --> 00:43:41,830
If I do, it could change everything.
516
00:43:42,331 --> 00:43:43,373
Outlier.
517
00:43:45,334 --> 00:43:49,213
Never let your sense of morals
prevent you from doing what's right.
518
00:43:50,422 --> 00:43:51,423
Good luck, Warden.
519
00:44:02,518 --> 00:44:05,771
If the left hand doesn't get
to put its thumb on the scale...
520
00:44:08,023 --> 00:44:09,942
what's the point in having a thumb?
521
00:44:22,621 --> 00:44:23,997
[person] Hober Mallow!
522
00:44:24,706 --> 00:44:27,209
Get Hober Mallow!
523
00:44:42,474 --> 00:44:46,144
Looking for the Locris wine.
Thought it'd be a nice way to honor Poly.
524
00:44:47,604 --> 00:44:50,148
"Take care of the body,
and the spirit will follow."
525
00:44:50,148 --> 00:44:53,902
[chuckles]
Something Poly never quite embraced.
526
00:44:53,902 --> 00:44:55,737
So, not the Locris wine?
527
00:44:56,321 --> 00:44:57,531
We're vulnerable here.
528
00:44:57,531 --> 00:45:00,200
If we jump,
the fleet will be aware of our presence.
529
00:45:01,076 --> 00:45:02,661
I think we should seize the moment.
530
00:45:04,663 --> 00:45:06,039
And by seizing you mean...
531
00:45:07,165 --> 00:45:08,417
Sex.
532
00:45:08,417 --> 00:45:09,501
[chuckles]
533
00:45:10,169 --> 00:45:12,379
- Are you opposed to sex?
- Not categorically.
534
00:45:12,379 --> 00:45:14,923
- You're worried this would kill my father?
- Sermak?
535
00:45:16,425 --> 00:45:18,594
No, no. Arguably that's a plus.
536
00:45:19,511 --> 00:45:20,721
Then take off your trousers.
537
00:45:21,221 --> 00:45:23,182
Yeah. Okay. Uh...
538
00:45:43,202 --> 00:45:44,411
[Constant breathes heavily]
539
00:45:44,995 --> 00:45:47,456
I couldn't decide between
kissing first or disrobing first.
540
00:45:47,456 --> 00:45:50,834
But disrobing first seemed more efficient.
541
00:45:51,627 --> 00:45:53,462
Yeah. That was efficient.
542
00:45:53,462 --> 00:45:54,630
[chuckles]
543
00:45:58,634 --> 00:45:59,593
You're nervous.
544
00:46:00,344 --> 00:46:01,345
No.
545
00:46:03,555 --> 00:46:06,558
- [chuckles] Ashamed of your body?
- No.
546
00:46:07,601 --> 00:46:11,063
Is-- [sighs] Is something not functioning?
547
00:46:12,314 --> 00:46:13,148
No.
548
00:46:27,538 --> 00:46:28,539
[both chuckle]
549
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:52,145
Turnabout is fair play, wouldn't you say?
550
00:46:53,605 --> 00:46:55,691
Day is off-planet.
551
00:46:55,691 --> 00:47:00,821
I can't think of a better opportunity
to resume our line of inquiry.
552
00:47:03,490 --> 00:47:04,491
So?
553
00:47:06,577 --> 00:47:08,620
Now the Locris wine?
554
00:47:11,415 --> 00:47:12,791
You never guessed my name.
555
00:47:14,042 --> 00:47:15,294
But I'll allow it.
556
00:47:16,211 --> 00:47:20,591
Let's promise to always
attend each other's executions.
557
00:47:20,591 --> 00:47:21,717
[chuckles]
558
00:47:21,717 --> 00:47:25,262
- Our first date was your beheading.
- Mm-hmm.
559
00:47:25,262 --> 00:47:27,264
Our second was mine.
560
00:47:27,264 --> 00:47:28,807
Okay. Deal.
561
00:47:29,641 --> 00:47:30,976
Now the wine.
562
00:47:44,990 --> 00:47:45,991
[chuckles]
563
00:47:46,617 --> 00:47:47,826
[beeping]
564
00:47:47,826 --> 00:47:50,204
[Bel, through sandogram]
Spirit Rising, stand down.
565
00:47:50,204 --> 00:47:52,289
You've been apprehended
in the name of Empire.
566
00:47:53,290 --> 00:47:55,501
- Can he see us?
- Yeah, and hear us.
567
00:47:56,001 --> 00:47:57,377
Hober, your wrist.
568
00:47:58,378 --> 00:48:00,172
[Bel] Mr. Mallow, Brother.
569
00:48:00,839 --> 00:48:03,091
Don't bother trying to jump,
your drives are off-line.
570
00:48:03,091 --> 00:48:06,887
We're gonna dock, and we promise,
we'll make you comfortable on board.
571
00:48:13,060 --> 00:48:17,189
[Dusk] You were looking for answers.
I think we may find them here.
572
00:48:17,689 --> 00:48:21,485
Someone put a hidden message
in an aberration.
573
00:48:22,194 --> 00:48:26,448
But new chroma activates old,
574
00:48:26,448 --> 00:48:29,368
and only an old master
would recognize that.
575
00:48:31,745 --> 00:48:35,916
Some believe that with age
comes inferiority,
576
00:48:37,584 --> 00:48:44,091
but there are advantages to a lifetime
of experience amassed.
577
00:48:49,930 --> 00:48:51,473
[whirring]
578
00:49:09,950 --> 00:49:11,243
[gasps]
579
00:49:21,753 --> 00:49:22,796
[Rue] Where are we?
580
00:49:30,179 --> 00:49:32,222
- You came.
- Of course.
581
00:49:32,723 --> 00:49:35,225
Back in the throne room,
what I said for Day's benefit,
582
00:49:35,225 --> 00:49:36,727
that was a performance.
583
00:49:36,727 --> 00:49:38,061
You know that, right? [chuckles]
584
00:49:38,061 --> 00:49:40,522
- As long as he thinks he owns me.
- He doesn't.
585
00:49:41,398 --> 00:49:43,150
I've been thinking about
what you proposed.
586
00:49:43,150 --> 00:49:44,860
It's all I keep thinking about.
587
00:49:59,124 --> 00:50:01,335
[both panting, moaning]
588
00:50:08,175 --> 00:50:11,094
This. This one little thing.
589
00:50:12,054 --> 00:50:13,847
This is something
he can't take away from us.
590
00:50:14,556 --> 00:50:15,807
[Sareth breathing heavily]
591
00:50:21,230 --> 00:50:22,231
Are you sure?
592
00:50:26,485 --> 00:50:28,695
- [groans, panting]
- [breathes shakily]
593
00:50:40,999 --> 00:50:45,170
[Dusk] In all my years,
I've never encountered this stairwell.
594
00:50:46,213 --> 00:50:47,589
I doubt Day has.
595
00:50:48,757 --> 00:50:50,926
I wonder if any of us have.
596
00:50:58,392 --> 00:50:59,560
Odd sensation.
597
00:51:00,185 --> 00:51:01,478
[Rue] What?
598
00:51:01,478 --> 00:51:04,064
To feel like a stranger in one's own home.
599
00:51:11,446 --> 00:51:14,449
[Salvor grunting]
600
00:51:37,681 --> 00:51:40,350
[whirring]
601
00:51:43,395 --> 00:51:45,772
[whirring intensifies]
602
00:51:48,901 --> 00:51:50,569
[rumbling]
603
00:51:51,153 --> 00:51:52,237
[exclaims]
604
00:52:00,204 --> 00:52:03,123
[whimpering, panting]
605
00:52:03,123 --> 00:52:05,626
[people chanting]
606
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:08,879
[breathing heavily]
607
00:52:12,424 --> 00:52:14,551
[chanting continues]
608
00:52:33,987 --> 00:52:35,364
[pipes playing]
609
00:52:41,453 --> 00:52:42,663
You all right, Gaal?
610
00:52:42,663 --> 00:52:44,248
[groans]
611
00:52:44,248 --> 00:52:45,916
I think you're fine.
612
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:48,210
Here. Let me.
613
00:52:48,210 --> 00:52:49,253
[grunts]
614
00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:53,090
Remember when I told you
that I was mistaken for a god
615
00:52:53,090 --> 00:52:54,925
when I was a little child?
616
00:52:54,925 --> 00:52:59,054
I was so protected by my people,
I felt like a prisoner.
617
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,810
Most of the time I sat on a crystal
platform in our tallest sacred tree,
618
00:53:04,810 --> 00:53:06,186
all by myself.
619
00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:10,274
Some days felt like an eternity.
620
00:53:12,025 --> 00:53:13,360
But it was still a shock,
621
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:18,323
the day I realized my skin was soft
and wrinkled like a rotten fruit.
622
00:53:19,032 --> 00:53:20,117
I'd gotten old.
623
00:53:21,952 --> 00:53:23,704
It wasn't fair, I thought,
624
00:53:24,746 --> 00:53:28,083
that my life be almost over,
and I'd never even gotten to live.
625
00:53:30,794 --> 00:53:33,630
[whimpers, breathing shakily]
626
00:53:35,883 --> 00:53:38,010
But then I discovered a child.
627
00:53:38,010 --> 00:53:40,137
A little girl like I'd been.
628
00:53:40,721 --> 00:53:45,309
I had to use all my power
to relocate my consciousness inside her.
629
00:53:45,309 --> 00:53:48,145
And I was afraid
that I'd fall between bodies,
630
00:53:48,145 --> 00:53:52,065
like falling between a boat and a wharf,
getting crushed in between.
631
00:53:52,649 --> 00:53:54,151
I practiced for a year.
632
00:53:55,277 --> 00:53:58,197
It was still terrifying, but I committed.
633
00:53:59,323 --> 00:54:02,826
This leap through the air
into an occupied mind.
634
00:54:04,828 --> 00:54:07,080
She was my second incarnation.
635
00:54:07,581 --> 00:54:09,583
Who? The little girl you showed us?
636
00:54:11,126 --> 00:54:13,003
Her parents were so proud.
637
00:54:13,629 --> 00:54:17,799
And our religion was renewed
by this great miracle.
638
00:54:18,425 --> 00:54:21,345
And so, every six or seven decades,
639
00:54:21,345 --> 00:54:24,223
when I felt my current body
starting to fade,
640
00:54:24,223 --> 00:54:26,016
I would select another child.
641
00:54:27,017 --> 00:54:32,481
Each new incarnation,
my powers grew. [chuckles]
642
00:54:32,481 --> 00:54:36,109
Soon I could see inside the minds
of anyone around me.
643
00:54:36,610 --> 00:54:39,029
Read their thoughts. Control them.
644
00:54:39,863 --> 00:54:45,160
And then one day I started to hear voices
from other worlds.
645
00:54:47,287 --> 00:54:48,997
I heard your voice, Gaal.
646
00:54:48,997 --> 00:54:52,459
Calling out from Synnax
more than a century ago.
647
00:54:52,459 --> 00:54:56,255
This crackling intelligence,
just trying not to drown.
648
00:54:58,173 --> 00:55:00,175
It was me who planted the seed
in your head
649
00:55:00,175 --> 00:55:01,510
- that you should leave.
- [Gaal] What?
650
00:55:01,510 --> 00:55:04,304
[stammers] That all came from inside me.
651
00:55:04,847 --> 00:55:07,474
- I solved Abraxas, I--
- It doesn't matter now.
652
00:55:07,474 --> 00:55:10,018
We've all ended up where we belong.
653
00:55:10,519 --> 00:55:13,355
[gasps] What is she doing to you?
654
00:55:13,355 --> 00:55:16,275
- Help me.
- I'm doing this for them.
655
00:55:16,859 --> 00:55:21,780
Once your power is my power,
I can keep our people safe.
656
00:55:23,365 --> 00:55:24,741
What happens to me?
657
00:55:25,242 --> 00:55:27,035
You'll be with me for a time.
658
00:55:27,035 --> 00:55:29,580
I heard that little girl
for several years,
659
00:55:29,580 --> 00:55:31,999
like a voice coming from
the bottom of a well,
660
00:55:31,999 --> 00:55:35,460
growing fainter every day,
till I could only hear the silence.
661
00:55:37,004 --> 00:55:39,006
I still listen for her though,
662
00:55:40,424 --> 00:55:42,885
just like I will always listen for you.
663
00:55:45,095 --> 00:55:47,389
[whimpering]
664
00:55:48,056 --> 00:55:51,018
We used to have an instrument,
a very old instrument.
665
00:55:51,018 --> 00:55:54,021
That fussed with people's brain signals.
666
00:55:54,021 --> 00:55:55,898
Changed their mind, so to speak.
667
00:55:56,773 --> 00:55:59,735
These whistles are pieces of that.
668
00:55:59,735 --> 00:56:01,236
They're harmless on their own.
669
00:56:01,236 --> 00:56:04,489
We use them
to teach the children to unvoice.
670
00:56:05,073 --> 00:56:07,659
- But play them together.
- [whistling]
671
00:56:07,659 --> 00:56:09,369
[Tellem] You can't fight me anymore, Gaal.
672
00:56:09,369 --> 00:56:11,914
The tuning plates are aligning us.
673
00:56:11,914 --> 00:56:14,583
[wailing] Help me!
674
00:56:17,252 --> 00:56:18,754
Please, you can't let her--
675
00:56:18,754 --> 00:56:20,255
[screams]
676
00:56:24,384 --> 00:56:27,012
[Sareth] We shouldn't stay here, Dawn.
677
00:56:28,514 --> 00:56:30,724
I can't allow Day to rear our child.
678
00:56:32,935 --> 00:56:34,186
I thought I could, but I...
679
00:56:35,687 --> 00:56:38,774
What if Day died? He's left you in charge.
680
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:42,569
- They'll just decant another.
- Then we destroy the exponents.
681
00:56:43,779 --> 00:56:46,073
If there are no more clones
to replace him, then...
682
00:56:47,908 --> 00:56:48,909
we would be free.
683
00:56:50,369 --> 00:56:51,662
No, they're--
684
00:56:52,663 --> 00:56:55,541
[sighs] They're not
just cells and tissue, they're--
685
00:56:55,541 --> 00:56:57,376
they're still my brothers.
686
00:56:58,919 --> 00:57:00,254
And even if I could find it in me,
687
00:57:00,254 --> 00:57:01,880
- Demerzel would stop it.
- [scoffs]
688
00:57:03,131 --> 00:57:05,634
She's responsible
for protecting Genetic Dynasty.
689
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,970
It's in her programming.
690
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:10,764
But who programmed Demerzel?
691
00:57:18,605 --> 00:57:19,815
[Day] Terminus waits.
692
00:57:29,491 --> 00:57:31,994
This is my destiny, Demerzel.
693
00:57:34,913 --> 00:57:35,998
[Rue] What is this place?
694
00:57:37,165 --> 00:57:38,584
[Dusk] Whatever its purpose,
695
00:57:39,084 --> 00:57:41,795
Demerzel took great pains
to keep it a secret.
696
00:57:43,797 --> 00:57:45,841
[Dawn] I always thought
we were autonomous,
697
00:57:45,841 --> 00:57:49,094
a pure extension of Cleon I,
that Demerzel served us.
698
00:57:49,970 --> 00:57:52,890
But in truth, Demerzel may serve only him.
699
00:57:56,018 --> 00:57:57,311
Dusk was right.
700
00:57:59,855 --> 00:58:01,857
We've been pulling too many threads.
701
00:58:02,858 --> 00:58:04,193
I don't think it's safe.
702
00:58:05,110 --> 00:58:06,278
For him or for me.
703
00:58:06,278 --> 00:58:08,197
I don't even think it's safe for Day.
704
00:58:08,197 --> 00:58:11,491
You're all just puppets.
That much is clear now.
705
00:58:13,660 --> 00:58:18,081
[Cleon, through sandogram] You wanted
answers about Demerzel's origins.
706
00:58:20,375 --> 00:58:23,337
This chamber has been considered
many things,
707
00:58:24,254 --> 00:58:27,257
but at first it was a prison.
708
00:58:29,092 --> 00:58:32,638
Welcome, Cleon XVI.
709
00:58:36,642 --> 00:58:40,103
I've often wondered what you see
while the rest of us are sleeping.
710
00:58:42,564 --> 00:58:43,982
All that we must be missing.
711
00:58:46,109 --> 00:58:47,819
What thoughts haunt you.
712
00:58:49,821 --> 00:58:50,948
A prison for whom?
713
00:58:53,283 --> 00:58:54,243
[gasps]
714
00:58:54,243 --> 00:58:57,788
The three of you.
You don't wield the real power.
715
00:58:59,748 --> 00:59:02,000
Demerzel is Cleon's only true heir.
716
00:59:07,172 --> 00:59:08,632
His forever Empress.
