00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,847
[narrator]
Previously on  Star Trek: Discovery :

2
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,891
[man]
All hail Her Most Imperial Majesty...

3
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,727
Mother of the Fatherland.

4
00:00:19,436 --> 00:00:24,482
All hail the Emperor Philippa Georgiou
Augustus Iaponius Centarius.

5
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:26,651
[all] All hail the emperor!

6
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:31,239
You're a fugitive wanted for my murder.
You attempted a coup against the emperor.

7
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:36,077
Listen to me. I need you. You need you.

8
00:00:37,245 --> 00:00:39,497
Your Georgiou is dead.

9
00:00:40,498 --> 00:00:42,625
-She's a ghost.
-[Georgiou]  Captain Michael Burnham.

10
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:46,671
-You brought us a gift?
-[Burnham] Captain Gabriel Lorca.

11
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:51,509
That Stamets exploited the network
for his own gain. He corrupted it.

12
00:00:51,593 --> 00:00:56,514
There's no difference between his network
and our network. It's just one.

13
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,600
[Culber]
That's why the damage is spreading.

14
00:00:58,683 --> 00:01:00,602
Everything everywhere
will be exterminated.

15
00:01:02,312 --> 00:01:04,564
There's a clearing in the forest.

16
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:07,400
That's how they go. [grunts]

17
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:09,944
I'm sending coordinates
to the emperor's ship.

18
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,197
[Saru]  I would feel better
if Captain Lorca were the one

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,074
making this request for a rendezvous.

20
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:16,201
-Trust me, so would I.
- Acknowledged.

21
00:01:16,284 --> 00:01:17,452
We'll see you soon.

22
00:01:17,535 --> 00:01:22,248
You're sensitive to light.
Lorca is sensitive to light, too.

23
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:26,753
The Lorca I knew was my right hand.
I trusted him with you.

24
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:28,171
[grunts]

25
00:01:28,713 --> 00:01:33,218
My so-called captain's not from
my universe. He's from yours.

26
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,138
[theme music playing]

27
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:13,359
[Lorca]  One year...

28
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:17,030
and 212 days of torture.

29
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:19,657
Of agony, my friends.

30
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:22,327
My followers.

31
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:28,291
But I have returned to give meaning
to your suffering.

32
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:34,714
Today is our day we reclaim our Empire.

33
00:03:34,797 --> 00:03:37,091
-Long live the Empire.
-Long live the Empire.

34
00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:43,473
Captain?

35
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:47,227
Welcome back, Commander Landry.

36
00:03:54,317 --> 00:03:57,278
-They told us you were dead.
-And you believed them?

37
00:03:57,362 --> 00:03:59,155
-Not for a second, sir.
-[man] Sir.

38
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:03,451
-Let's get you geared up.
-Sir.

39
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:07,080
Charon  has ten battalions
of Imperial guards on station.

40
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:10,959
I don't know how you got here,
or how you got us all out alive,

41
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:16,214
but we should withdraw, regroup.
We have supporters on several worlds.

42
00:04:16,297 --> 00:04:18,424
The emperor's ship is where we need to be.

43
00:04:20,134 --> 00:04:22,553
I have been to another universe and back.

44
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:26,349
You think I'd come all this way
without a plan?

45
00:04:33,022 --> 00:04:33,982
-Clear.
-Clear.

46
00:04:36,317 --> 00:04:37,610
[Landry] Stamets is gone.

47
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:42,240
Coward probably left
at the first sign of trouble.

48
00:04:43,157 --> 00:04:44,993
All his research is still here.

49
00:04:45,743 --> 00:04:49,956
I've known more than one Stamets,
and they both have one thing in common.

50
00:04:50,665 --> 00:04:53,793
They love their work too much...

51
00:04:56,546 --> 00:04:58,715
to leave any of it behind.

52
00:04:58,798 --> 00:04:59,757
[grunts]

53
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:03,803
-Hello, Paul.
-[Stamets] Gabriel.

54
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:08,266
-I really hoped you were dead.
-You can't always get what you want.

55
00:05:08,349 --> 00:05:10,059
-[phaser powering up]
-Hi, doc.

56
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:17,859
Ironically, I have to thank you
for helping me finish what I started.

57
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:21,946
After you sold me out
and ruined our coup attempt,

58
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:26,951
I was on Priors World recruiting allies
when the emperor caught up with the  Buran.

59
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:32,582
As I beamed back to join the fight,
her torpedoes hit.

60
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:39,547
And luckily, so did an ion storm,
which caused a transporter malfunction.

61
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:40,840
[chuckles]

62
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:41,758
And...

63
00:05:43,968 --> 00:05:48,389
-Know where I ended up?
-I'm still stuck on the "not dead" part.

64
00:05:48,473 --> 00:05:49,807
A parallel universe.

65
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:55,855
The ion storm must've swapped
your transporter signatures.

66
00:05:55,938 --> 00:06:01,235
To me, it was physics,
acting as the hand of destiny. My destiny.

67
00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:07,033
The bioweapon you're developing
for the emperor, show it to me.

68
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:09,744
Happily, sir.

69
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,884
[coughing, choking]

70
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:35,395
[Owosekun] Sensors have detected
mass casualties on Decks 1 through 17.

71
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:38,981
He's come back from the grave
to stage a revolution

72
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:40,525
and that's the best he's got?

73
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:43,986
If he keeps doing that,
he'll reveal his location.

74
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,530
Then he's mine.

75
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:48,241
Emperor, I've seen firsthand
how he operates.

76
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:51,327
He can get inside your head.
Manipulate you.

77
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:54,330
-You think I don't know that?
-He is baiting you.

78
00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:58,459
He wants you to come to him.
Let me contact my ship again.

79
00:06:58,543 --> 00:07:00,628
They have no idea
they're flying into a battle zone.

80
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:04,298
Please, Philippa.

81
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:07,552
I'm not Philippa to you.

82
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:10,054
But you are right about one thing.

83
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:14,600
He preyed on my sentiment,
my weakness for your face.

84
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,060
It will not happen again.

85
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:19,021
Take her to the brig.

86
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:22,984
Your choices have determined your fate.

87
00:07:23,067 --> 00:07:24,152
No.

88
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:28,156
[grunting and shouting]

89
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:36,456
[grunts]

90
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:39,333
-[indistinct shouts]
-[male guard] Go!

91
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:42,462
-They'll find her, Emperor.
-Take your men.

92
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:46,549
Bring Lorca to me alive.
I will kill him myself this time.

93
00:07:53,764 --> 00:07:59,979
[Saru]  Captain's log, stardate 1834.2.
Acting Captain Saru recording.

94
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:03,065
We are en route to the Terran flagship,

95
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,568
having been summoned
by Specialist Burnham.

96
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:08,362
Discovery's  spore drive
is operational again,

97
00:08:08,446 --> 00:08:11,949
thanks to the full recovery
of our navigator, Lieutenant Stamets.

98
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:15,077
Yet, despite his best efforts,

99
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,206
the lieutenant was unable
to save  Discovery's  mycelium crop.

100
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:24,337
His fear is that his Terran counterpart
has already contaminated the network.

101
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:29,509
And, if so,
the results could be catastrophic.

102
00:08:31,802 --> 00:08:33,638
What is it you wish to show me?

103
00:08:33,721 --> 00:08:36,516
We have less than 30 minutes
before we reach the Terran vessel.

104
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:39,894
[Stamets] Airiam flagged it. A massive
energy signature off the central orb.

105
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:41,354
It's mycelial.

106
00:08:41,437 --> 00:08:44,524
This is what my counterpart
has been using his mycelium for.

107
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:46,901
-It powers their ship.
-As it does ours.

108
00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:50,029
Not exactly.
We ride along the network with the spores.

109
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:53,241
That orb is pulling power
directly out of the network.

110
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:56,327
But I thought the network
could regenerate itself.

111
00:08:56,410 --> 00:08:59,789
Typically, it does,
but this process is poisoning it.

112
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:02,124
It's spreading infection back up
into the system.

113
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,418
Without a fresh supply of spores,
it'll only get worse.

114
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,088
The Terrans must be aware of this flaw.
It's not sustainable.

115
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:09,423
[Stamets] I don't think sustainability
is their objective.

116
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:12,843
But it does provide them with more energy
than I ever thought possible.

117
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:14,845
Enough to run their city-sized ship

118
00:09:14,929 --> 00:09:17,014
and power weapons
that can destroy a planet.

119
00:09:17,098 --> 00:09:21,310
-As they did on Harlak.
-How can a people be so short-sighted?

120
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,688
The Terrans are egotistical enough
to believe

121
00:09:23,771 --> 00:09:26,816
that they can replenish this resource
before it collapses.

122
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:29,318
The other Stamets
must've been looking for a solution

123
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,362
when he got trapped in the network
with me.

124
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:36,701
If we don't stop them soon,
the contamination will be irreversible.

125
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:41,205
The network will continue
to deteriorate everywhere.

126
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:46,544
Here in this universe, back in ours,
across the entire multiverse.

127
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:48,129
And when it does?

128
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,758
Life as we know it will cease to exist.

129
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:04,228
Take this ship-wide.

130
00:10:05,479 --> 00:10:06,939
[panel beeps]

131
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,065
Hello, Philippa.

132
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:13,362
I've watched for years... you let
alien races spill over the borders,

133
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:17,658
flourish in our backyard,
and have the gall to incite rebellion.

134
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:22,330
Terrans need a leader who will preserve
our way of life. Our race.

135
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:26,751
Try as you might, it's clearly not you.

136
00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:29,003
Even Michael knew that.

137
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,714
It was her great shame.

138
00:10:32,381 --> 00:10:35,718
Well, it's indecorous of me
to share pillow talk.

139
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:40,264
To the rest, many of you know me,
some served with me.

140
00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:45,895
To all, I make this offer:
Renounce Georgiou.

141
00:10:46,437 --> 00:10:49,815
The Empire is dying in her hands,
but you don't have to.

142
00:10:50,274 --> 00:10:51,108
Not today.

143
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:55,112
Michael Burnham is not to be touched.

144
00:10:55,946 --> 00:10:58,574
She is integral to our future plans,

145
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:04,163
a future where we together
will make the Empire glorious again.

146
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:06,582
Got him. He's in the main labs.

147
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:16,050
Lorca does not control this ship. I do.

148
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:18,803
We take the fight to him.

149
00:11:20,179 --> 00:11:22,723
[all] All hail the emperor!

150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,121
[rifle powering up]

151
00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:56,966
[Owosekun] Don't shoot.

152
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:05,391
-[Georgiou] Where are your troops?
-We were ambushed.

153
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:09,103
How did you survive?

154
00:12:11,355 --> 00:12:12,481
Lorca spared me.

155
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:16,694
-He said he wanted you to know...
-Know what?

156
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:20,281
That he was here.

157
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:25,619
[weapons powering up]

158
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:32,126
Hello, Philippa.

159
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:33,919
Did you miss me?

160
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:56,525
Light her up.

161
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:03,365
-Mr. Stamets.
-Containment field at 30 percent.

162
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:04,533
Twenty-five percent.

163
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:07,995
Five, four, three, two, it's down.

164
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:17,296
-Flash grenade.
-Cover! Cover!

165
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,632
[all gasping]

166
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:30,893
Emergency transport.

167
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:39,360
[Lorca] You didn't warn me
she could do that, Mr. Stamets.

168
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:43,781
-Please tell me we can kill him now.
-[Lorca] That depends if he can disable

169
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:45,491
an emergency-transport system.

170
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:48,702
I can. I can do that.

171
00:13:49,745 --> 00:13:50,579
[Lorca] Good.

172
00:13:51,163 --> 00:13:54,708
Set up a perimeter around
the throne room. Let's tighten the noose.

173
00:13:57,503 --> 00:14:00,673
Burnham to  Discovery.
Do you copy? Come in,  Discovery.

174
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:02,174
[static over comm]

175
00:14:08,847 --> 00:14:11,684
Burnham to  Discovery.
Do you copy? Come in.

176
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:13,269
[static continues]

177
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,859
Discovery,  do you copy?

178
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,194
Come in.

179
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:25,656
Please come in.

180
00:14:28,158 --> 00:14:30,286
Discovery  here. We are receiving you.

181
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:31,829
[exhales]

182
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:35,040
- It's good to see you, Saru.
-You as well, my friend.

183
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:39,712
It appears your situation has become dire.
Is the captain with you?

184
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:42,464
He's one of them. He's Terran.

185
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:46,969
He used us and the  Discovery
to jump here to his own universe.

186
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:49,805
- It was his plan all along.
-[Saru] That's impossible.

187
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,933
We would have sensed something.
I would have.

188
00:14:53,017 --> 00:14:55,728
That's why we didn't end up
at Starbase 46.

189
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:59,148
Lorca altered the coordinates
of my last jump.

190
00:14:59,231 --> 00:15:00,274
How?

191
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:05,112
He got the data he needed from those jumps
I did around the Klingon ship.

192
00:15:05,195 --> 00:15:08,073
Then all that was left was
to access navigation control,

193
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:10,618
and he can do that from his chair.

194
00:15:11,452 --> 00:15:13,913
Lorca's staging a coup
against the emperor.

195
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,373
You have to abort coming
to the palace ship.

196
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:20,044
-Get as far away as you can.
- I will not consider leaving you behind.

197
00:15:20,127 --> 00:15:24,131
Saru, he has no need for our crew.
He will kill all of you.

198
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:28,719
He might take  Discovery  to our universe
and bring the whole Terran fleet with him.

199
00:15:28,802 --> 00:15:31,555
Not if the Terrans
have wiped out all life already.

200
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:36,101
They have created a super-mycelial reactor
on the  Charon,

201
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:40,898
and it's destroying the network.
When it goes, it takes all life with it.

202
00:15:40,981 --> 00:15:42,399
In all universes.

203
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:49,198
How do we stop it?

204
00:15:49,281 --> 00:15:53,285
Lieutenant Stamets believes a direct hit
from our photon torpedoes

205
00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:56,622
on their energy orb
would create a detonation large enough

206
00:15:56,705 --> 00:16:01,460
to sever the reactor's connection
and allow the network to heal itself.

207
00:16:01,543 --> 00:16:05,214
We're running simulations
to account for energy dispersal.

208
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:06,340
But?

209
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,134
There's a containment field
protecting the orb.

210
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:12,638
-Our weapons can't penetrate it.
- Leave the containment field to me.

211
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,433
Stay at warp so you can't be boarded,

212
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:19,103
and I'll find a way to signal you
when I'm in place.

213
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:22,064
Be ready to blow up the reactor when I do.

214
00:16:24,942 --> 00:16:25,985
Burnham out.

215
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:43,252
-You believe in destiny now, Mr. Stamets?
-That's, uh, rhetorical, right?

216
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:46,296
Your lack of vision continues
to disappoint me.

217
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:48,966
I used to suffer from that, too.

218
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:54,763
But nothing that's happened to me
was an accident.

219
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:58,308
Not ending up in another world.

220
00:16:58,726 --> 00:17:01,353
Not finding a ship
that would help me return here.

221
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:02,354
None of it.

222
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:06,608
I'm living proof that fate is real.

223
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:10,612
Speaking of which,
we've reached the tipping point

224
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:15,451
where your usefulness to me is outweighed
by the risk of keeping you alive.

225
00:17:16,243 --> 00:17:18,704
I mean, I'm never gonna trust you.
Honestly.

226
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:30,174
The living core of the mycelial network.

227
00:17:30,674 --> 00:17:35,137
It's poetic justice, don't you think?
Scientist destroyed by his own creation?

228
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:37,139
Just kidding.

229
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:38,682
I hate poetry.

230
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:46,148
[communicator chirps]

231
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:50,319
Sir, I'm getting word of
an unauthorized ship-to-ship transmission.

232
00:17:51,987 --> 00:17:53,363
That'll be my Burnham.

233
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,128
Hello, Michael.

234
00:18:08,879 --> 00:18:12,716
Judging from your communications hack,
you're somewhere on the third deck.

235
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,886
Where, precisely, I can't tell,
but no matter.

236
00:18:15,969 --> 00:18:18,972
I'm not gonna hunt you down.
I'll wait for you to come to me.

237
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,810
- What makes you think I'd do that?
-Because you belong here.

238
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:25,521
- With you?
-In the real world.

239
00:18:26,021 --> 00:18:28,232
I know that's hard
for you to see right now,

240
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:32,945
-because you're blinded by your emotions.
- The only thing I was blinded by was you.

241
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,325
I know you understand
that I had to lie to you, Michael.

242
00:18:38,408 --> 00:18:39,618
To get home.

243
00:18:39,701 --> 00:18:44,748
Just like you know that the Federation
is a social experiment doomed to failure.

244
00:18:45,165 --> 00:18:46,667
Childish idealism.

245
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:51,421
Every species, every choice,
every opinion is not equal.

246
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:53,465
No matter how much they want it to be.

247
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:56,176
The strong and the capable
will always rise.

248
00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:58,637
Like you and me.

249
00:18:59,596 --> 00:19:04,059
And every living being is safer
and happier knowing their place.

250
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:06,145
That's why we have a duty to lead.

251
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:09,481
Like what you did that day
at the Binaries.

252
00:19:10,566 --> 00:19:11,525
Stay with me.

253
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:17,114
Stay here and help me bring peace
to this world through strength and order.

254
00:19:17,197 --> 00:19:18,031
The right way.

255
00:19:18,407 --> 00:19:20,909
There was no one else like the other you.

256
00:19:21,869 --> 00:19:25,330
What she and I set out to achieve
was gonna be remarkable.

257
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:27,332
And then I met you.

258
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:33,922
And the truth is, your gifts...
far surpass hers.

259
00:19:36,383 --> 00:19:38,510
I see you, Michael Burnham.

260
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:40,888
I see your power.

261
00:19:40,971 --> 00:19:42,848
And I'm offering you a future.

262
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,644
I have since the day
I brought you onto the  Discovery .

263
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:49,021
Take it.

264
00:19:55,986 --> 00:19:58,780
She rerouted the feed
and disabled the carrier address.

265
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,867
-She could be anywhere.
- [sighs]

266
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:04,244
She'll come.

267
00:20:16,423 --> 00:20:18,967
-[approaching footsteps]
-[phaser powering up]

268
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:23,055
[powers down]

269
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:25,307
How did you find me?

270
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:29,770
My bracelet makes
my life signs undetectable.

271
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,231
[Burnham sighs]

272
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:36,443
This is your sanctuary.

273
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:40,530
Considering the situation,
it made sense you'd come here.

274
00:20:40,614 --> 00:20:42,115
I should have known.

275
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:45,786
Lorca seduced you, too.

276
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:48,413
Why would you say that?

277
00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:52,626
He broadcast it for everyone to hear.

278
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:56,004
Why else would he protect you?

279
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:59,091
Lorca believes destiny brought me to him.

280
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:02,636
But he doesn't get to tell me
what my future is.

281
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:07,182
I'm responsible for forging my own path.
We all are.

282
00:21:08,308 --> 00:21:11,103
-My Philippa taught me that.
-This...

283
00:21:13,647 --> 00:21:15,232
belonged to my Michael.

284
00:21:15,732 --> 00:21:19,319
Now Lorca has taken everything from me.

285
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,530
You lost a daughter.

286
00:21:22,823 --> 00:21:23,907
An empire.

287
00:21:27,244 --> 00:21:28,412
I lost a captain...

288
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:32,457
and a life.

289
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:44,553
Both versions of me
betrayed both versions of you.

290
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:49,891
I won't let that happen again.
And I won't let you die again.

291
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:52,519
So that's what happened to me
on your side.

292
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:57,899
I'm gonna stop Lorca.

293
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:03,030
I see why he is so enamored with you.

294
00:22:04,072 --> 00:22:06,742
You almost make me believe you can do it.

295
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:08,452
I will do it.

296
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:13,582
For what he's done to me.
For what he's done

297
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:16,376
to all the innocent people
who have stood in his way.

298
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:21,673
And for the loss of life to come,
if no one stops him here.

299
00:22:23,216 --> 00:22:24,051
Today.

300
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:28,346
What is your plan?

301
00:22:29,931 --> 00:22:32,017
Disable the orb's containment field.

302
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:35,812
Those controls are in the throne room.

303
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:38,190
How will you get to them?

304
00:22:39,149 --> 00:22:41,526
By giving Lorca exactly what he wants.

305
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:44,654
[Stamets] We have a problem.

306
00:22:44,738 --> 00:22:49,242
We knew the orb harnessed exotic energy
by blocking the flow of the network,

307
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:52,746
but we didn't know that all those
mycelial spores packed in together

308
00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:55,791
created hypergravitational
and magnetic fields, too.

309
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:59,294
Even a blast from photon torpedoes
won't be enough to free it.

310
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:03,006
We'll have to create a chain reaction.
Overload it with potential energy.

311
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:05,717
What do we have that harnesses
that kind of power?

312
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,177
Uh...

313
00:23:07,761 --> 00:23:08,970
Our harvested spores.

314
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:13,016
They hold enough energy
to power us across galaxies.

315
00:23:13,975 --> 00:23:17,187
We should modify our warheads
by loading them up.

316
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:19,815
How much of our spore supply
would we need to use?

317
00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:24,820
All of it.
We won't be able to jump back home.

318
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:31,201
We need to get in close for a clear shot.

319
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:33,578
The orb is in the heart
of that superstructure.

320
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:37,040
I don't think we could outmaneuver
a blast like that if we're that close.

321
00:23:37,124 --> 00:23:38,792
[Tilly] I just ran the simulations.

322
00:23:40,127 --> 00:23:42,921
Discovery's  shields aren't strong enough
to protect us from the energy wave

323
00:23:43,004 --> 00:23:44,881
that will be released when the network
is freed.

324
00:23:46,424 --> 00:23:48,385
The shock wave will incinerate us.

325
00:23:49,177 --> 00:23:51,138
I don't think we can make it out alive.

326
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,483
It is well-known...

327
00:24:04,484 --> 00:24:08,655
that my species has the ability
to sense the coming of death.

328
00:24:12,492 --> 00:24:14,119
I do not sense it today.

329
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:17,289
I may not have all the answers.

330
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:22,544
However, I do know that I am surrounded
by a team I trust.

331
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:26,298
The finest a captain could ever hope
to command.

332
00:24:27,048 --> 00:24:29,885
Lorca abused our idealism.

333
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:36,266
And make no mistake,
Discovery  is no longer Lorca's.

334
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:38,810
She is ours.

335
00:24:40,645 --> 00:24:43,940
And today will be her maiden voyage.

336
00:24:44,816 --> 00:24:49,654
We have a duty to perform.
And we will not accept a no-win scenario.

337
00:24:51,907 --> 00:24:54,409
You have your orders. On your way.

338
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:56,119
[all] Aye, Captain.

339
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,793
We've executed her lords
and senior officers, sir.

340
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:07,088
The rest of the crew
are swearing allegiance to you.

341
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:08,006
Good.

342
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:11,635
I was just thinking about everyone
who's ever said

343
00:25:11,718 --> 00:25:15,222
that victory felt empty
when it was attained.

344
00:25:15,972 --> 00:25:17,891
What a bunch of idiots they were.

345
00:25:17,974 --> 00:25:19,518
[laughing]

346
00:25:19,601 --> 00:25:21,186
[communicator chirps]

347
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:27,025
She's here.

348
00:25:39,913 --> 00:25:40,747
[Lorca] Michael.

349
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:43,959
What's this about?

350
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,670
I won't let another crew die on my watch,
Gabriel.

351
00:25:50,423 --> 00:25:51,758
[grunts]

352
00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:53,677
I've been here long enough to know

353
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,638
that if you want your claim to the throne
to be legitimate...

354
00:25:57,764 --> 00:25:59,599
you have to execute the emperor.

355
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:08,525
And you're prepared
to condemn Philippa here to death?

356
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:12,696
What you said on the shuttle yesterday...
was right.

357
00:26:14,197 --> 00:26:15,573
She's not my Philippa.

358
00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:17,576
[Lorca] That's very Terran of you.

359
00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:19,577
But you and I both know
that I have her now.

360
00:26:21,788 --> 00:26:24,833
-What are you really bargaining with?
-I think you know.

361
00:26:27,627 --> 00:26:32,007
In exchange for my crew...
I offer you me.

362
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:35,510
Let them leave safely, and I'm yours.

363
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:37,220
Like you said,

364
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:41,016
my future is here.

365
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:47,480
But know this:
I'm offering you my mind, nothing more.

366
00:26:52,193 --> 00:26:54,279
[Lorca]
Until you've completely settled in...

367
00:26:57,032 --> 00:26:58,408
I'm sure you understand.

368
00:27:00,201 --> 00:27:02,120
[phaser powering down]

369
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:11,171
Well, it looks like you are destined
to be betrayed

370
00:27:11,254 --> 00:27:14,299
by Burnhams in every universe.

371
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:16,051
No.

372
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:19,637
I'm destined to kill you.

373
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:20,972
Well.

374
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:25,602
That would certainly
be an impressive trick. [chuckles]

375
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:27,687
[crew chuckling]

376
00:27:32,901 --> 00:27:34,527
Welcome home, Michael.

377
00:27:46,122 --> 00:27:47,791
[beeping]

378
00:27:47,874 --> 00:27:49,000
Captain was right.

379
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,253
-[Stamets] What about?
-"Do not accept a no-win scenario."

380
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:57,092
There may be a way out of this after all.
I've reanalyzed the simulations.

381
00:27:58,259 --> 00:28:01,179
Now, if we blow the reactor core,

382
00:28:01,262 --> 00:28:04,682
the resulting explosion
will be pure mycelial energy, right?

383
00:28:05,225 --> 00:28:06,059
Right.

384
00:28:07,268 --> 00:28:10,063
Right, but not just an explosion.

385
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:13,983
According to this,
the mother of mycelial shock waves.

386
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:16,653
If we can stay right on the leading edge,

387
00:28:16,736 --> 00:28:19,781
we can ride it long enough
for the energy to activate the drive,

388
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:22,283
-and then you can navigate us home.
-But, um...

389
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:26,371
The ship's shields still
aren't strong enough to protect us.

390
00:28:26,454 --> 00:28:30,250
Unless we modify the spore drive
to run concurrently with the warp drive.

391
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:33,837
The resulting warp bubble may provide
a secondary layer of protection.

392
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,422
A shield from the blast.

393
00:28:36,047 --> 00:28:39,509
If I reverse-engineer the coordinates
that Lorca used to get us here,

394
00:28:39,592 --> 00:28:42,929
I should be able
to pinpoint the right pathway to take.

395
00:28:43,012 --> 00:28:47,183
And that will get us to the same point
in our timeline, or at least close to it.

396
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:50,562
There'll be infinite pathways opening up.
That's gonna be really...

397
00:28:50,645 --> 00:28:52,856
"Hard" is the word you're looking for.

398
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:56,568
But I don't accept no-win scenarios.

399
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,864
Thank you for your inspiration, cadet.

400
00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:06,953
Now, please, inform the captain
of your findings.

401
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:10,039
Looks like we may be going home after all.

402
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:14,878
[Bryce] Message from the  Charon .

403
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:17,630
We're advised it's safe
to drop out of warp.

404
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:20,508
The message has
Burnham's security code on it.

405
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:25,847
-Lieutenant Detmer, drop us out of warp.
-Yes, Captain.

406
00:29:29,934 --> 00:29:32,061
[comm beeping]

407
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:33,563
Captain, we're being hailed.

408
00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:36,065
It's Lorca, sir.

409
00:29:42,405 --> 00:29:43,573
On-screen.

410
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,201
Mr. Saru.

411
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:48,620
It's good to see you.

412
00:29:50,497 --> 00:29:54,250
I'm glad I got a chance to say goodbye
to you and the rest of the crew.

413
00:29:55,251 --> 00:30:00,340
I want you to know that my admiration
for you was and is sincere.

414
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:03,760
When I look at you, I see...

415
00:30:04,469 --> 00:30:07,305
a formidable unit of soldiers
that I sculpted.

416
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:11,684
If I thought for a second
that any of you were capable

417
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:15,480
of relinquishing this cult-like devotion
to the Federation,

418
00:30:16,022 --> 00:30:18,066
I'd enlist your skills today.

419
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:21,820
We are not interested in your sentiments.
Where is Specialist Burnham?

420
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:23,446
[Lorca]  She's fine.

421
00:30:24,781 --> 00:30:28,409
You don't die today
because she chose to stay by my side.

422
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:31,621
I would like to hear that from her.
You are not a reliable source.

423
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:35,625
I'm where I need to be, Saru.

424
00:30:36,918 --> 00:30:37,919
This is my place.

425
00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:42,674
That is all I needed to see.

426
00:30:50,056 --> 00:30:51,891
[grunting and shouting]

427
00:30:54,394 --> 00:30:55,562
Fire!

428
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:06,865
-Keep your eye on that containment field.
-Aye, Captain.

429
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:08,199
Detmer, give Rhys a clear shot.

430
00:31:08,283 --> 00:31:09,826
-Yes, sir.
-[Saru] Let's go, people.

431
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:22,171
[grunting and shouting]

432
00:33:05,024 --> 00:33:06,025
Wait.

433
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:09,862
Stop.

434
00:33:13,116 --> 00:33:15,702
-Don't make me have to kill you.
-You won't.

435
00:33:20,373 --> 00:33:21,499
[groans]

436
00:33:27,463 --> 00:33:28,381
[phaser powers up]

437
00:33:33,594 --> 00:33:36,764
We would've helped you get home
if you had asked.

438
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,977
That's who Starfleet is.

439
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:44,230
That's who I am.

440
00:33:47,483 --> 00:33:48,317
[powers down]

441
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:52,739
-That's why I won't kill you now.
-[Georgiou] But I will.

442
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:55,158
[groaning]

443
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:02,790
We...

444
00:34:03,624 --> 00:34:04,625
We could have...

445
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:06,878
[gasps]

446
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:13,634
[grunting]

447
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,358
[distorted shriek]

448
00:34:40,995 --> 00:34:42,246
It was a good plan.

449
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:49,003
Burnham did it.
The containment field is down.

450
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:52,507
-Beam her back. Now.
-I can't get a lock. I'm working on it.

451
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:53,424
Work faster.

452
00:34:56,511 --> 00:34:57,637
You fought well.

453
00:34:58,054 --> 00:34:59,180
For a moment...

454
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:02,517
I thought I had her back with me.

455
00:35:03,476 --> 00:35:04,602
[metal clanging]

456
00:35:04,685 --> 00:35:06,979
[indistinct shouting]

457
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:10,399
Lorca's troops.

458
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:13,945
I will buy you some time.

459
00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:20,785
I am a defeated emperor.
They've seen my neck.

460
00:35:20,868 --> 00:35:22,453
I have no future now.

461
00:35:23,454 --> 00:35:27,416
But I will die on my feet,
as fitting my station.

462
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,211
Go, Michael Burnham.

463
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:33,297
Find a way home.

464
00:35:34,674 --> 00:35:35,591
Live.

465
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,105
[communicator chirps]

466
00:35:50,022 --> 00:35:51,274
Burnham to  Discovery.

467
00:35:51,357 --> 00:35:52,942
-I've got her.
-Get her out now.

468
00:36:11,586 --> 00:36:12,795
She's onboard.

469
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,922
-Black alert.
-Aye, Captain.

470
00:36:16,299 --> 00:36:19,760
-[alarm wailing]
-[computer]  Black alert. Black alert.

471
00:36:28,144 --> 00:36:30,771
[alert sounding]

472
00:36:33,524 --> 00:36:35,109
Lock weapons onto that ship.

473
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:36,777
The Terran ship is targeting us.

474
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:38,863
-Now or never, Detmer.
-Aye, Captain.

475
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:56,380
What the hell are they doing?

476
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,926
[warning alert wailing]

477
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:01,344
Is the containment field up?

478
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:06,515
-[Rhys] Locked on, Captain.
-Fire.

479
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:07,642
Aye, sir.

480
00:37:14,815 --> 00:37:16,567
-Warp speed. Now.
-Yes, sir.

481
00:37:28,287 --> 00:37:30,915
Ambient mycelial energy
is interacting with the drive.

482
00:37:40,007 --> 00:37:41,717
-Cadet Tilly?
-Levels looks good.

483
00:37:43,302 --> 00:37:45,680
-Engage the spore drive. Now.
-Aye, Captain.

484
00:38:09,328 --> 00:38:12,039
[Stamets]
It's working. The network is regenerating.

485
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:28,639
Heat shields at maximum.

486
00:38:30,057 --> 00:38:32,685
[Stamets]
The pathways are bifurcating too quickly.

487
00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:43,237
I don't know where to go.

488
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:48,951
The network is a gift. It's the thread
that weaves life through space.

489
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:55,041
I can't even find my way out.

490
00:38:56,667 --> 00:38:58,336
[exhaling]

491
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:00,921
-Follow the music, Paul.
-[opera music playing]

492
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:02,840
Open your eyes. [echoing]

493
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:16,979
Wait. It's the clearing in the forest.

494
00:39:39,001 --> 00:39:40,169
Thanks, Hugh.

495
00:39:55,267 --> 00:39:56,102
[sighs]

496
00:40:22,711 --> 00:40:23,712
[Stamets] Tilly...

497
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:29,427
Reboot the system
and find out where we are.

498
00:40:30,553 --> 00:40:31,804
And when.

499
00:40:39,186 --> 00:40:41,439
What have you done to me?

500
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:48,654
Captain, celestial patterns
and subatomic analysis confirm

501
00:40:48,737 --> 00:40:50,739
we are in our Alpha quadrant.

502
00:40:50,823 --> 00:40:51,824
Ah.

503
00:40:51,907 --> 00:40:58,247
But we overshot by nine months.

504
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:08,090
Mr. Bryce,
send a transmission to Starfleet.

505
00:41:08,174 --> 00:41:10,718
-Inform them we have returned.
-Aye, Captain.

506
00:41:12,052 --> 00:41:15,264
Mr. Rhys, update our tactical map.

507
00:41:15,347 --> 00:41:17,600
-I need to see the status of the war.
-Aye, sir.

508
00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:24,356
[Bryce] Captain, there's no response
from the Federation to our signal.

509
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,942
Not even an automated one.

510
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:28,777
What does that mean?

511
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:30,779
[Bryce] War map on-screen, Captain.

512
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:40,831
[Saru] If the map is to be believed...

513
