1
00:00:09,052 --> 00:00:11,011
Previously on "Star Trek: Picard"...

2
00:00:11,054 --> 00:00:12,229
I want you to reinstate me.

3
00:00:12,273 --> 00:00:14,275
I will need a small
reconnaissance ship

4
00:00:14,318 --> 00:00:15,928
with a minimal crew.

5
00:00:15,972 --> 00:00:18,105
You think you could just waltz
back in here and be entrusted

6
00:00:18,148 --> 00:00:20,498
with taking men and women into space?

7
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:23,545
I have reason to believe that
the Tal Shiar is merely a mask

8
00:00:23,588 --> 00:00:25,982
worn by another far older cabal,

9
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,070
the Zhat Vash.

10
00:00:27,114 --> 00:00:28,724
Admiral Clancy just called.

11
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:30,726
Jean-Luc Picard was
trying to persuade her

12
00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:33,120
to let him go after
Dr. Bruce Maddox.

13
00:00:33,163 --> 00:00:35,339
I want you to stay on mission.

14
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:36,732
I've put my best man on it.

15
00:00:36,775 --> 00:00:37,994
Nice of you to knock.

16
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,126
Commodore Oh

17
00:00:39,169 --> 00:00:40,779
is quite distressed.

18
00:00:40,823 --> 00:00:42,433
I'm still confident
that my approach,

19
00:00:42,477 --> 00:00:43,826
which you approved,
is the only sound approach.

20
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:45,088
Are we allowed

21
00:00:45,132 --> 00:00:47,047
to be sleeping together,
or is that a secret?

22
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,831
Very much the latter.

23
00:00:48,874 --> 00:00:50,311
How likely is the Collective

24
00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:51,921
to reestablish a link to your Borg?

25
00:00:51,964 --> 00:00:53,227
Well, they're former Borg.

26
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:54,445
And we're not releasing them,

27
00:00:54,489 --> 00:00:55,707
we're reclaiming them.

28
00:00:55,751 --> 00:00:56,926
There's really no danger.

29
00:00:56,969 --> 00:00:59,885
I have to go.
Go? Where? Go how?

30
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:01,061
You need help, you need protection.

31
00:01:01,104 --> 00:01:02,323
Yeah.

32
00:01:02,366 --> 00:01:03,280
You need someone who hates you

33
00:01:03,324 --> 00:01:04,760
and has nothing to lose.

34
00:01:04,803 --> 00:01:06,762
Raffi, it's Jean-Luc.

35
00:01:06,805 --> 00:01:08,372
Please, don't hang up.

36
00:01:08,416 --> 00:01:09,852
I need a ship.

37
00:01:11,593 --> 00:01:12,855
There isn't anything you could say

38
00:01:12,898 --> 00:01:14,248
that I want to hear.

39
00:01:14,291 --> 00:01:17,816
Secret Romulan assassins
are operating on Earth.

40
00:01:18,991 --> 00:01:20,384
Goddamn it.

41
00:02:02,043 --> 00:02:06,743
- The CollectorZ -
2020

42
00:02:12,044 --> 00:02:15,352
They give you a hard time?
They start with the ships?

43
00:02:15,396 --> 00:02:18,355
Straight out, just as you predicted.

44
00:02:18,399 --> 00:02:19,878
You were ready,

45
00:02:19,922 --> 00:02:22,577
with the inventories from
Beta Antares and Eridani A,

46
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:23,839
which shut them up.

47
00:02:25,623 --> 00:02:27,712
So they hit you with manpower.
Mm-hmm.

48
00:02:27,756 --> 00:02:29,061
But you had the reserve rosters

49
00:02:29,105 --> 00:02:30,976
I got from Tanaka in personnel.

50
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:32,848
I laid it all out.

51
00:02:32,891 --> 00:02:36,330
By using reserve duty officers
and mothballed ships,

52
00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:38,767
we could maintain the evacuation,

53
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:42,379
though to a severely reduced level.

54
00:02:42,423 --> 00:02:44,555
Not if we use synthetic labor.

55
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:47,297
All synthetic life-forms are banned,

56
00:02:47,341 --> 00:02:49,734
throughout the Federation,
effective immediately.

57
00:02:49,778 --> 00:02:52,868
All active units are dismantled and

58
00:02:52,911 --> 00:02:55,131
all research is halted.

59
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:56,828
Well, that's crazy.

60
00:02:56,872 --> 00:02:58,743
It makes no sense.

61
00:02:58,787 --> 00:03:01,746
Synths don't just wake up one
morning and turn homicidal.

62
00:03:01,790 --> 00:03:05,272
They said it was a fatal code error

63
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:07,230
in the operating system.

64
00:03:07,274 --> 00:03:08,275
That's bullshit.

65
00:03:08,318 --> 00:03:09,711
S--

66
00:03:09,754 --> 00:03:12,322
Something's off about
this whole business, JL.

67
00:03:12,366 --> 00:03:13,802
It doesn't add up.

68
00:03:13,845 --> 00:03:15,804
I smell the Tal Shiar.

69
00:03:16,848 --> 00:03:18,850
Tal Shiar.

70
00:03:18,894 --> 00:03:22,637
Raffi, why would the
Romulans attack a fleet

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,727
built expressly to rescue them?

72
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:27,729
I can't answer that.

73
00:03:27,772 --> 00:03:29,426
Yet.

74
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:32,255
But I do know that there are
billions of people out there

75
00:03:32,299 --> 00:03:35,867
in the Beta Quadrant that are in
the burst radius of a supernova.

76
00:03:35,911 --> 00:03:37,826
It's not their fault
that a bunch of A500s

77
00:03:37,869 --> 00:03:39,654
went rogue on Mars.

78
00:03:39,697 --> 00:03:41,786
You're absolutely right.

79
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:45,921
Mars is burning.

80
00:03:45,964 --> 00:03:50,186
Tens of thousands are dead.

81
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,320
And nobody is thinking,
nobody is listening.

82
00:03:53,363 --> 00:03:55,365
They're just reacting.

83
00:03:55,409 --> 00:03:57,759
Wait a minute.

84
00:03:57,802 --> 00:04:00,196
What happened in there, JL?

85
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:05,375
They said that our
plan was "unfeasible."

86
00:04:05,419 --> 00:04:07,986
Half of them never wanted
to rescue the Romulans

87
00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:09,640
in the first place.

88
00:04:09,684 --> 00:04:12,556
And the rest are...

89
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,820
are just... frightened.

90
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:18,997
I never dreamed that
Starfleet would give in

91
00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:21,391
to intolerance and fear.

92
00:04:22,827 --> 00:04:24,220
What happened in there?

93
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,656
I said that either

94
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,965
they accept the revised
evacuation plan...

95
00:04:30,008 --> 00:04:31,880
or my resignation.

96
00:04:34,535 --> 00:04:36,058
Are you serious?

97
00:04:37,625 --> 00:04:40,323
Well...

98
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:42,412
what did they say?

99
00:04:44,806 --> 00:04:46,677
Jean-Luc?

100
00:04:46,721 --> 00:04:49,201
They accepted my resignation.

101
00:04:54,729 --> 00:04:56,426
I...

102
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:57,906
Hell with them.

103
00:04:57,949 --> 00:05:00,909
We'll figure it out.
We'll find a way.

104
00:05:00,952 --> 00:05:02,911
To mount a multi-world evacuation

105
00:05:02,954 --> 00:05:08,743
of tens of millions of Romulans without
Starfleet's support?

106
00:05:08,786 --> 00:05:11,136
There has to be something.

107
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:13,617
Some last,

108
00:05:13,661 --> 00:05:16,577
desperate, wild solution, JL.

109
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:18,927
That's what you do.

110
00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:21,625
My resignation was

111
00:05:21,669 --> 00:05:24,759
the last, desperate, wild solution.

112
00:05:27,501 --> 00:05:30,591
I never believed that they would...

113
00:05:30,634 --> 00:05:32,201
accept it.

114
00:05:34,638 --> 00:05:36,423
Of course you wouldn't.

115
00:05:36,466 --> 00:05:39,817
Now what?

116
00:05:39,861 --> 00:05:42,298
You're gonna go back
to your château and

117
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,256
write your memoirs?

118
00:05:45,606 --> 00:05:48,870
I can't do this without you, JL.

119
00:05:53,048 --> 00:05:54,136
Oh.

120
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:56,443
The CNC wants to see me.

121
00:05:57,444 --> 00:05:58,706
That's great.

122
00:05:59,707 --> 00:06:00,751
That's great.

123
00:06:00,795 --> 00:06:04,102
You tender your resignation,

124
00:06:04,146 --> 00:06:06,540
and my ass gets fired.

125
00:06:09,151 --> 00:06:11,153
Raffi?

126
00:08:12,753 --> 00:08:14,929
A synthetic girl.

127
00:08:14,972 --> 00:08:17,453
There were two of them.

128
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,542
One of them is already dead.

129
00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:22,502
I only hope that I'm in time
to save the other one.

130
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,373
Raffi,

131
00:08:24,416 --> 00:08:26,549
I need a ship and a pilot,

132
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:28,943
and I have to find Bruce Maddox.

133
00:08:28,986 --> 00:08:30,684
Wow.

134
00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:33,034
I don't even know what to say.

135
00:08:33,077 --> 00:08:34,731
Yeah. It's a lot to take in.

136
00:08:34,775 --> 00:08:36,428
I mean, the obvious
way to go would be,

137
00:08:36,472 --> 00:08:39,388
"You have some goddamn nerve."

138
00:08:39,431 --> 00:08:41,346
But I gather you...
you already heard that

139
00:08:41,390 --> 00:08:44,393
from your buddy Clancy, right?

140
00:08:56,013 --> 00:08:58,494
Pro tip for future reference.

141
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,409
On your next top-secret,

142
00:09:00,452 --> 00:09:03,630
unauthorized, synthetic
girl rescue mission,

143
00:09:03,673 --> 00:09:06,458
try not tellin the CNC of Starfleet

144
00:09:06,502 --> 00:09:09,636
exactly what you're
planning on doing.

145
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,422
I don't remember you being such
a chatterbox back in the day.

146
00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:15,424
I mean...

147
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,165
I saw your interview.

148
00:09:17,208 --> 00:09:19,646
An unmitigated disaster.

149
00:09:19,689 --> 00:09:21,343
Yeah.

150
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:23,824
I saw you,

151
00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:27,784
sitting back in your
very fine château.

152
00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:31,396
Those big oak beams,

153
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,485
heirloom furniture.

154
00:09:33,529 --> 00:09:35,662
Yeah, I-I'd show you
around my estate,

155
00:09:35,705 --> 00:09:38,490
but it's more of a hovel, so
that would just be, you know,

156
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:40,405
humiliating.

157
00:09:40,449 --> 00:09:45,715
But my entire life for
the past 14 years has been

158
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:49,284
one long slide into humiliation.

159
00:09:50,502 --> 00:09:52,504
And rage.

160
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:59,294
Also a fair amount of
snakeleaf-induced paranoia,

161
00:09:59,337 --> 00:10:02,558
so... some things never change.

162
00:10:05,909 --> 00:10:06,867
Mmm.

163
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:09,391
Hmm.

164
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,438
Might have been nice
to hear from you

165
00:10:13,482 --> 00:10:16,398
a time or two in there,
JL, not because you think

166
00:10:16,441 --> 00:10:20,141
I know an off-the-books pilot
with an unregistered starship.

167
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:23,710
Just...

168
00:10:25,276 --> 00:10:27,496
...to say hi.

169
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:30,673
See how I was doing.

170
00:10:30,717 --> 00:10:33,633
I know. I...Because I was
not doing good.

171
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:37,898
I lost my security clearance.

172
00:10:37,941 --> 00:10:39,508
I lost...

173
00:10:41,684 --> 00:10:42,642
Don't, Raffi.

174
00:10:42,685 --> 00:10:44,644
No, don't. Just don't touch me.

175
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:46,733
Raffi.

176
00:10:55,089 --> 00:10:56,656
Raffi.

177
00:11:50,274 --> 00:11:54,104
I really don't know
what to say, Dr. Asha.

178
00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:57,107
Your work here has
always been excellent,

179
00:11:57,151 --> 00:12:00,284
but speaking to a Nameless
in his own language?

180
00:12:01,329 --> 00:12:03,113
Outstanding.

181
00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:06,116
You taught me that even a few words

182
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,988
in the mother tongue can be soothing.

183
00:12:08,031 --> 00:12:09,990
Even in an unconscious state.

184
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:15,691
There is no more despised people
in the galaxy than the xBs.

185
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:18,476
People either see us as
property to be exploited

186
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,001
or as a hazard to be warehoused.

187
00:12:21,044 --> 00:12:23,177
Our hosts,

188
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:26,441
the Romulans, have a
more expansive vision.

189
00:12:26,484 --> 00:12:28,182
They see us as both.

190
00:12:28,225 --> 00:12:30,619
I hate it.

191
00:12:30,662 --> 00:12:32,926
You're different.

192
00:12:32,969 --> 00:12:35,493
Thank you.

193
00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:39,323
I've decided to let you have
your interview with Ramdha.

194
00:12:39,367 --> 00:12:41,673
Oh, my God, really?

195
00:12:41,717 --> 00:12:44,111
You've been pestering me
about it for a long time.

196
00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:47,288
After today, I'm inclined
to grant your request.

197
00:12:47,331 --> 00:12:50,857
Tell me, why?

198
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:53,120
How much do you know about Ramdha

199
00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:55,252
before she was assimilated?

200
00:12:55,296 --> 00:12:56,950
Have you read her Romulan dossier?

201
00:12:56,993 --> 00:12:58,255
Of course not.

202
00:12:58,299 --> 00:12:59,909
Wait, have you?

203
00:13:02,085 --> 00:13:05,262
How did you manage that?

204
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:07,656
I just sort of asked to see it.

205
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:10,267
Usually I find that if
I ask people for help,

206
00:13:10,311 --> 00:13:12,052
they're happy to give it.

207
00:13:12,095 --> 00:13:15,098
That has not been my experience.
In particular with Romulans.

208
00:13:15,142 --> 00:13:16,447
Ramdha was

209
00:13:16,491 --> 00:13:18,667
the foremost expert on
ancient Romulan myth.

210
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:20,277
She wrote books about it.

211
00:13:20,321 --> 00:13:22,889
And this interest of hers
links you to her work how?

212
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:26,109
There is ample evidence
for the therapeutic utility

213
00:13:26,153 --> 00:13:28,503
of a shared mythical framework.

214
00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:32,246
30 minutes.

215
00:13:32,289 --> 00:13:34,857
As an experiment.

216
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:37,077
Then we'll see how that goes.

217
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:49,872
It makes total sense
that you're angry.

218
00:13:49,916 --> 00:13:53,006
I disappointed you.
I neglected you.

219
00:13:53,049 --> 00:13:55,747
And I wasn't there
when you needed me.

220
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:58,272
I'm truly sorry.

221
00:14:02,058 --> 00:14:03,886
I don't care.

222
00:14:03,930 --> 00:14:07,107
Raffi, there is a unit

223
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:10,719
of Tal Shiar synth hunters operating

224
00:14:10,762 --> 00:14:12,939
on Earth, openly.

225
00:14:12,982 --> 00:14:17,291
That could not happen
without Federation complicity.

226
00:14:17,334 --> 00:14:19,902
I'm listening.

227
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:23,123
You always said there were
Romulan-Federation connections

228
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:24,472
I didn't see.

229
00:14:24,515 --> 00:14:27,083
I was talking about Mars, JL.

230
00:14:27,127 --> 00:14:28,998
The Romulan rescue.

231
00:14:29,042 --> 00:14:30,739
Those aren't connections I just see,

232
00:14:30,782 --> 00:14:34,090
like people see angels
or-or, uh, ghosts.

233
00:14:34,134 --> 00:14:35,744
I have evidence.

234
00:14:35,787 --> 00:14:37,659
I have concrete evidence

235
00:14:37,702 --> 00:14:40,531
that a high-ranking
Starfleet official conspired

236
00:14:40,575 --> 00:14:43,056
to allow the attack to go forward,

237
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:45,101
to put an end to the rescue mission.

238
00:14:45,145 --> 00:14:47,103
Raffi...Which they opposed.

239
00:14:47,147 --> 00:14:50,890
Raffi, they had no reason
to sabotage their own rescue.

240
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:53,588
What do you think happens
when there's a cover-up?

241
00:14:53,631 --> 00:14:56,112
They conceal it.

242
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,899
That's why I need your help.

243
00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:01,813
I need your mind.

244
00:15:01,857 --> 00:15:06,035
Your ability to see things
others don't see.

245
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:08,951
No. No, no, no, no.

246
00:15:08,995 --> 00:15:12,563
I will not go down another
rabbit hole with you, JL.

247
00:15:12,607 --> 00:15:14,783
No, never again-- No. Go.
Raffi...

248
00:15:18,961 --> 00:15:20,920
Get out of here, please.

249
00:15:23,748 --> 00:15:26,012
Please.

250
00:15:35,151 --> 00:15:37,153
I have a pilot for you.

251
00:15:39,112 --> 00:15:40,765
His name is Rios.

252
00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:43,725
And he'll be in touch.

253
00:15:43,768 --> 00:15:46,902
Rios. Thank you.

254
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:48,730
Now go.

255
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:19,021
Hi.
Dr. Jurati?

256
00:16:19,065 --> 00:16:22,068
Commodore Oh, director
of Starfleet Security.

257
00:16:22,111 --> 00:16:25,985
Okay.
I'd like to talk to you

258
00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:29,205
about your two recent visits
with Admiral Picard.

259
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:39,259
All personnel...

260
00:16:44,394 --> 00:16:47,919
She's here to meet with
Patient 4822 stroke 2.

261
00:16:47,963 --> 00:16:49,399
She'll need authorization.

262
00:16:49,443 --> 00:16:51,401
This unit is operated by
the Reclamation Project.

263
00:16:51,445 --> 00:16:53,403
It is under the direct authority

264
00:16:53,447 --> 00:16:56,276
of its executive director: me.

265
00:16:57,364 --> 00:16:59,061
Open up.

266
00:17:21,779 --> 00:17:23,781
All the disordered are Romulans?

267
00:17:23,825 --> 00:17:27,220
The only Romulans ever assimilated,
as far as I know.

268
00:17:34,923 --> 00:17:36,620
There she is.

269
00:17:51,418 --> 00:17:52,810
Hi.

270
00:18:13,222 --> 00:18:15,006
What?

271
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:17,574
You're doing the research, aren't you?
No.

272
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:21,274
I'm sending you everything that
Daystrom had on Bruce Maddox.

273
00:18:21,317 --> 00:18:22,492
I don't want it.

274
00:18:22,536 --> 00:18:24,407
Carry on.

275
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,652
Captain Rios?

276
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,743
Oh. Hi. Hello.

277
00:18:55,786 --> 00:18:57,092
Picard.

278
00:18:57,136 --> 00:18:58,224
Yes, sorry. Of course you are.

279
00:18:58,267 --> 00:19:00,269
I'm afraid you might be too late.

280
00:19:01,618 --> 00:19:03,054
Right, then.

281
00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:05,405
Come on.

282
00:19:09,626 --> 00:19:11,193
So, what seems to be the problem?

283
00:19:11,237 --> 00:19:13,108
Are you kidding me? Hey.

284
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:14,544
Are you...?

285
00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:16,329
Chris Rios. He's just an EMH.

286
00:19:16,372 --> 00:19:17,460
"Just."

287
00:19:17,504 --> 00:19:19,201
I'm, uh...I know who you are.

288
00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:20,855
I read one of your books one time.

289
00:19:20,898 --> 00:19:22,117
What happened to you?

290
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:25,816
I didn't die.

291
00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:27,253
Medkit.

292
00:19:31,344 --> 00:19:32,345
Aguardiente.

293
00:19:40,048 --> 00:19:41,789
No, thanks.

294
00:19:43,965 --> 00:19:46,010
What you want to do is take

295
00:19:46,054 --> 00:19:47,229
the giant hunk of tritanium shrapnel

296
00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:48,230
out of the hole in my shoulder.

297
00:19:48,274 --> 00:19:49,971
That's just a guess.

298
00:19:50,014 --> 00:19:51,190
Please,

299
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:52,539
sit.

300
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:04,203
Toss it anywhere.

301
00:20:05,726 --> 00:20:09,251
So, where are we going, Admiral?

302
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:11,558
Raffi says you have no idea.

303
00:20:11,601 --> 00:20:13,908
I'm working on it.
When are we leaving?

304
00:20:13,951 --> 00:20:15,910
Soon as possible.

305
00:20:15,953 --> 00:20:18,129
You breaking any laws
or intending to?

306
00:20:18,173 --> 00:20:20,567
I don't know.

307
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:24,701
I'm not in the habit
of consulting lawyers

308
00:20:24,745 --> 00:20:27,748
before I do what needs to be done.

309
00:20:27,791 --> 00:20:29,271
You?
I'm not in the habit

310
00:20:29,315 --> 00:20:31,708
of consulting anybody about anything.

311
00:20:33,057 --> 00:20:34,537
Especially a lawyer.

312
00:20:35,451 --> 00:20:37,453
There we are.

313
00:20:37,497 --> 00:20:39,934
Now for the thermal regenerator.
Leave it.

314
00:20:40,978 --> 00:20:43,067
Give me that. Get lost.

315
00:20:44,765 --> 00:20:47,028
He never gets any nicer.

316
00:20:47,071 --> 00:20:48,290
Duly noted.

317
00:20:48,334 --> 00:20:50,205
Deactivate, EMH.

318
00:20:51,032 --> 00:20:53,687
I need a pilot.

319
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:55,950
Raffi says you're the best around.

320
00:20:55,993 --> 00:20:57,908
I never argue with Raffi.

321
00:20:57,952 --> 00:20:59,997
Huh. Wise man.

322
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:04,437
You were the XO of a heavy cruiser?

323
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,003
The ibn Majid.

324
00:21:06,047 --> 00:21:09,050
You never heard of it
because it doesn't exist.

325
00:21:09,093 --> 00:21:10,965
Starfleet erased it from the records.

326
00:21:11,008 --> 00:21:15,404
Do I detect a certain bitterness
toward Starfleet?

327
00:21:15,448 --> 00:21:18,277
You must know that Starfleet and

328
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,844
I long since have parted ways.

329
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:22,629
If you say so.

330
00:21:22,672 --> 00:21:24,413
I really don't give a damn.

331
00:21:24,457 --> 00:21:27,111
Oh, really?

332
00:21:27,155 --> 00:21:29,331
I see this ship is

333
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:30,898
impeccably maintained.

334
00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:33,727
Every bolt and clasp

335
00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:35,250
and fitting in place.

336
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:39,167
Everything stowed in regulation
Starfleet order.

337
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:42,083
I don't know what
happened to you, Rios,

338
00:21:42,126 --> 00:21:44,259
or to the ibn Majid.

339
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,914
But five minutes on this ship,

340
00:21:46,957 --> 00:21:50,134
and I know precisely
what I'm looking at.

341
00:21:50,178 --> 00:21:52,615
You are Starfleet

342
00:21:52,659 --> 00:21:54,095
to the core.

343
00:21:54,138 --> 00:21:56,837
I can smell it on you.

344
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,405
That's just my tragic sense of life.

345
00:21:59,448 --> 00:22:02,277
Raffi warned me you were a speechmaker.

346
00:22:03,887 --> 00:22:06,629
Look, Admiral, hire me
or find another pilot.

347
00:22:06,673 --> 00:22:08,936
Do not try to get inside my head.

348
00:22:56,462 --> 00:22:59,769
The navigation sensors
are back at maximum range.

349
00:22:59,813 --> 00:23:01,031
Whatever it was,

350
00:23:01,075 --> 00:23:02,990
it scraped off pretty easily.

351
00:23:03,033 --> 00:23:04,513
Mm-hmm.

352
00:23:04,557 --> 00:23:07,168
So are we excited?

353
00:23:07,211 --> 00:23:09,039
Intimidated?

354
00:23:09,083 --> 00:23:11,955
Maybe a teensy bit starstruck.

355
00:23:11,999 --> 00:23:13,870
Jean-Luc Picard.

356
00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:16,177
Chief contact with the Q Continuum.

357
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:18,745
Arbiter of succession
for the Klingon Empire.

358
00:23:18,788 --> 00:23:22,488
Savior of Earth from Borg invasion.

359
00:23:22,531 --> 00:23:26,927
Captain of the Enterprises D and E.

360
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:29,364
The man even worked alongside

361
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:30,887
the great Spock.

362
00:23:30,931 --> 00:23:33,673
You are an emergency hologram.

363
00:23:33,716 --> 00:23:35,979
We no longer have
a navigational emergency.

364
00:23:37,807 --> 00:23:40,114
Why are you still here?

365
00:23:40,157 --> 00:23:42,508
Well, someone is experiencing
an acute moodiness overload.

366
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:52,300
Picard is a good man, Captain Rios.

367
00:23:52,343 --> 00:23:55,390
He's on the side of the angels.

368
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:58,219
It's been a long time since you
helped out somebody like him.

369
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:01,831
Hmm? A very long time.

370
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:03,485
Please, spare me the juvenile
Sunday school morality.

371
00:24:03,529 --> 00:24:07,924
And spare me the angsty
teenage moral relativism.

372
00:24:07,968 --> 00:24:10,579
I already had one grand,
heroic captain in my life.

373
00:24:10,623 --> 00:24:12,929
The last thing I need
is another one.

374
00:24:12,973 --> 00:24:15,454
Ten years on, I still can't
close my eyes at night

375
00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:17,934
without seeing the last
one's blood and brains

376
00:24:17,978 --> 00:24:20,371
splattered all over a bulkhead.

377
00:24:22,286 --> 00:24:23,810
Deactivate ENH.

378
00:24:23,853 --> 00:24:25,899
Aw, no, no, you...

379
00:25:03,763 --> 00:25:06,809
The familiar smell of harvest time.

380
00:25:08,419 --> 00:25:10,726
Wood smoke, mown hay

381
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:13,207
and that...

382
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:15,775
heavy sweetness of the grapes.

383
00:25:16,819 --> 00:25:19,169
And you won't miss it...

384
00:25:19,213 --> 00:25:21,781
any of it, one bit.

385
00:25:21,824 --> 00:25:23,739
Oh, yes, my dear.

386
00:25:23,783 --> 00:25:27,526
I will miss you and Zhaban
and Number One.

387
00:25:30,616 --> 00:25:32,574
I tried my best

388
00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:36,578
to belong to this place.

389
00:25:38,624 --> 00:25:41,583
But I don't think I ever...

390
00:25:41,627 --> 00:25:44,020
truly felt at home here.

391
00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:50,592
I suppose you always had
one eye on the stars.

392
00:26:14,007 --> 00:26:14,529
That looks like a door.

393
00:26:16,096 --> 00:26:18,141
Very close. I think that
one's called "shaipouin,"

394
00:26:18,185 --> 00:26:20,491
which means...A false door.

395
00:26:20,535 --> 00:26:23,016
Traditional Romulan houses
always have a false front door

396
00:26:23,059 --> 00:26:24,495
that's never used.

397
00:26:24,539 --> 00:26:26,193
You have to go around the back.

398
00:26:26,236 --> 00:26:28,151
You're kind of a know-it-all,
aren't you?

399
00:26:58,486 --> 00:27:00,619
You may sit.

400
00:27:05,058 --> 00:27:08,148
For the road. Bread.

401
00:27:09,149 --> 00:27:10,933
Roquefort.

402
00:27:10,977 --> 00:27:13,806
Madame Arnaud's terrine d'oie.

403
00:27:13,849 --> 00:27:16,504
Far beyond the power of any
replicator, I should think.

404
00:27:16,547 --> 00:27:17,679
And last of the plum...

405
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:21,204
They killed the alarm.
Take 'em.

406
00:28:29,577 --> 00:28:32,841
All right? All right.

407
00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:45,898
Maybe... maybe...

408
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:47,813
maybe it was on stun.

409
00:28:47,856 --> 00:28:49,249
Romulan disruptors

410
00:28:49,292 --> 00:28:50,946
don't have a stun setting.

411
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:52,600
Okay.

412
00:28:56,082 --> 00:28:57,997
It's all right.

413
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,781
Thank you.

414
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:00,956
It's all right.

415
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,784
Come.

416
00:29:22,978 --> 00:29:24,197
Here.

417
00:29:25,894 --> 00:29:27,853
Her name was Oh.

418
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:29,855
Chief of Starfleet Security.

419
00:29:29,898 --> 00:29:32,031
A Vulcan.
You know her?

420
00:29:32,074 --> 00:29:35,817
No, but I hear that she's
very good at her job.

421
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:40,256
Sh-She wanted to know why
you came to see me, and...

422
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:42,824
I'm sorry, but I told her.

423
00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:45,392
Seemed too important not to.

424
00:29:45,435 --> 00:29:47,307
And anyway, I'm a terrible liar.

425
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:48,308
Of course.

426
00:29:48,351 --> 00:29:49,875
It's all right.

427
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:54,880
There's one thing I didn't
tell her, though.

428
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:57,883
Zhaban.
We have no time, Laris.

429
00:29:57,926 --> 00:29:59,145
They'll send others.

430
00:30:08,937 --> 00:30:11,853
Admiral, he's conscious.

431
00:30:22,908 --> 00:30:24,823
Let's talk.

432
00:30:28,174 --> 00:30:29,958
My name is Soji.

433
00:30:30,002 --> 00:30:32,700
I'm working with Hugh on
the reclamation project.

434
00:30:32,743 --> 00:30:35,355
But I'm an anthropologist by training.

435
00:30:52,763 --> 00:30:54,853
Ramdha has good days and bad days.

436
00:30:54,896 --> 00:30:56,680
We all do.

437
00:30:58,944 --> 00:31:01,163
Can you tell me about
the cards, Ramdha?

438
00:31:01,207 --> 00:31:02,773
The pixmit?

439
00:31:02,817 --> 00:31:03,905
How do they work?

440
00:31:03,949 --> 00:31:05,472
Do you tell fortunes with them?

441
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:08,779
It's kind of a mandala,

442
00:31:08,823 --> 00:31:09,998
is that it?

443
00:31:15,003 --> 00:31:17,832
Do the images have a connection
to Romulan mythology?

444
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,878
"Mythology"?

445
00:31:19,921 --> 00:31:22,315
I hate that word.

446
00:31:22,358 --> 00:31:24,926
In Romulan, we have no such word.

447
00:31:24,970 --> 00:31:27,015
What's a better word?

448
00:31:27,059 --> 00:31:28,712
Scriptures?

449
00:31:28,756 --> 00:31:31,280
Sacred stories?
Legendarium?

450
00:31:31,324 --> 00:31:32,934
The news.

451
00:31:35,937 --> 00:31:37,678
I love that.

452
00:31:37,721 --> 00:31:38,984
That's perfect.

453
00:31:40,594 --> 00:31:44,119
The idea that former Borg might
be able to create a mythol--

454
00:31:44,163 --> 00:31:46,121
a shared narrative framework

455
00:31:46,165 --> 00:31:47,949
for understanding their trauma,

456
00:31:47,993 --> 00:31:50,256
rooted in deep archetypes

457
00:31:50,299 --> 00:31:52,823
but as relevantas the day's news.

458
00:31:52,867 --> 00:31:55,261
That's just what I'm hoping to do.

459
00:32:00,614 --> 00:32:02,833
I know you.

460
00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:08,100
Why is the Tal Shiar on Earth?

461
00:32:08,143 --> 00:32:10,885
Are you Zhat Vash?

462
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:13,932
If you answer my questions,

463
00:32:13,975 --> 00:32:16,108
I will release you.

464
00:32:19,415 --> 00:32:20,721
This is pointless.
Yes,

465
00:32:20,764 --> 00:32:23,245
because he's a...
stubborn northerner, like you.

466
00:32:26,248 --> 00:32:29,643
I remember you from tomorrow.

467
00:32:30,905 --> 00:32:33,690
No, Ramdha.
We've never met.

468
00:32:35,692 --> 00:32:37,868
Okay, wh...

469
00:32:37,912 --> 00:32:40,219
what was I doing when
you met me tomorrow?

470
00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:49,315
One of the things that makes
you so special, Ramdha,

471
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:51,839
is that you were on board
the very last ship

472
00:32:51,882 --> 00:32:54,189
ever assimilated by this cube.

473
00:32:54,233 --> 00:32:56,800
Is that true?
How do you know that?

474
00:32:56,844 --> 00:32:59,673
You were on board the
Imperial scout ship Shaenor

475
00:32:59,716 --> 00:33:01,849
with 25 other passengers.

476
00:33:01,892 --> 00:33:04,765
You encountered this cube.
You were assimilated.

477
00:33:04,808 --> 00:33:06,767
But then something went wrong.

478
00:33:13,948 --> 00:33:16,472
What happened, Ramdha?
Do you know?

479
00:33:16,516 --> 00:33:18,648
What caused the submatrix collapse?

480
00:33:21,738 --> 00:33:23,784
Why did you kill that girl?

481
00:33:23,827 --> 00:33:25,699
Why did you kill Dahj Asha?

482
00:33:25,742 --> 00:33:27,657
She's not a girl.

483
00:33:29,746 --> 00:33:31,052
Which one are you?

484
00:33:31,096 --> 00:33:32,619
Just help me

485
00:33:32,662 --> 00:33:35,709
understand what is happening.

486
00:33:35,752 --> 00:33:38,103
She's not what you think she is.

487
00:33:38,146 --> 00:33:41,410
Which sister are you?

488
00:33:41,454 --> 00:33:42,890
Why did you

489
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:44,152
kill her?

490
00:33:44,196 --> 00:33:46,415
Is there another one like her?

491
00:33:46,459 --> 00:33:48,200
Which sister are you?

492
00:33:48,243 --> 00:33:50,593
The one who dies or
the one who lives?!

493
00:33:50,637 --> 00:33:51,812
Where is she?

494
00:33:51,855 --> 00:33:53,553
Where is the other one?

495
00:33:53,596 --> 00:33:56,599
You'll never find her
before we do, qezhtihn!

496
00:33:59,733 --> 00:34:00,908
I know who you are!

497
00:34:00,951 --> 00:34:03,084
You are Seb-Cheneb.

498
00:34:03,128 --> 00:34:05,217
You are the Destroyer!

499
00:34:05,260 --> 00:34:06,783
She's the end of all!

500
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:08,655
She's the Destroyer.

501
00:34:18,795 --> 00:34:20,101
Damn.

502
00:34:20,145 --> 00:34:21,668
No!

503
00:34:28,544 --> 00:34:29,589
Let her go!

504
00:34:29,632 --> 00:34:31,330
She's fine.

505
00:34:31,373 --> 00:34:32,679
He's the one that needs
to be disciplined.

506
00:34:32,722 --> 00:34:35,290
Get him out of here.
Get him out.

507
00:34:35,334 --> 00:34:38,467
And make sure your own sidearms
are fully secured.

508
00:34:59,619 --> 00:35:00,620
Hi, sweetie.

509
00:35:00,663 --> 00:35:01,708
Mom...

510
00:35:01,751 --> 00:35:02,970
Sweetie, what's wrong?

511
00:35:03,013 --> 00:35:04,667
Mom-Mom, is Dahj okay?

512
00:35:04,711 --> 00:35:06,495
What?
Is she okay?

513
00:35:06,539 --> 00:35:08,280
Yes, sweetie, Dahj is fine.

514
00:35:08,323 --> 00:35:09,977
I just heard from her today.

515
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:11,544
She sounds like she's doing great.

516
00:35:11,587 --> 00:35:13,502
She's thinking of adopting a puppy.

517
00:35:13,546 --> 00:35:15,156
I'm not sure that's the best idea.

518
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,377
But you know Dahj--
when she makes a plan,

519
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:20,640
you can never talk her
out of it. I don't know.

520
00:35:20,683 --> 00:35:23,947
Sometimes I think I should tell
her the opposite thing to do...

521
00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:38,179
Enter.

522
00:35:45,752 --> 00:35:47,797
Are you all right?

523
00:35:56,502 --> 00:35:58,547
Hey.

524
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:01,463
What happened?

525
00:36:01,507 --> 00:36:03,857
I have no idea.
I mean...

526
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:05,511
if you had asked me
five minutes beforehand,

527
00:36:05,554 --> 00:36:06,990
I would have said
I didn't know anything

528
00:36:07,034 --> 00:36:08,688
about a Romulan ship.

529
00:36:08,731 --> 00:36:12,431
I would have said that I'd
never even heard of the Shaenor

530
00:36:12,474 --> 00:36:13,997
or that Ramdha was on it.

531
00:36:14,041 --> 00:36:16,348
And would that have been the truth?

532
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,959
I've probably read every
unclassified document

533
00:36:19,002 --> 00:36:21,788
that there is pertaining
to the history of this cube.

534
00:36:21,831 --> 00:36:23,659
It must have been in there somewhere.

535
00:36:23,703 --> 00:36:26,619
Even Romulan censors have
to slip up sometimes.

536
00:36:30,492 --> 00:36:32,494
Do you believe me?

537
00:36:44,376 --> 00:36:46,987
Can you keep a secret?

538
00:36:53,515 --> 00:36:55,996
I may be falling in love with you.

539
00:37:19,324 --> 00:37:21,151
I'm back.

540
00:37:21,195 --> 00:37:22,979
So are your ears.

541
00:37:23,023 --> 00:37:25,591
I can smell her on you.

542
00:37:29,421 --> 00:37:32,337
The smell is remarkably...

543
00:37:32,380 --> 00:37:34,382
carnal.

544
00:37:35,949 --> 00:37:38,952
She really is an extraordinary
piece of machinery.

545
00:37:38,995 --> 00:37:40,736
What's she told you?

546
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:42,347
Nothing yet.

547
00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:45,741
I'm not sure what she
consciously knows, but...

548
00:37:45,785 --> 00:37:48,788
I'm sure she has no idea
what she truly is.

549
00:37:48,831 --> 00:37:51,486
And given what happened on Earth...

550
00:37:51,530 --> 00:37:54,446
I think we should keep it
that way as long as possible.

551
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:56,752
Earth was a miscalculation.

552
00:37:59,146 --> 00:38:01,496
Your miscalculation.

553
00:38:03,368 --> 00:38:05,370
Which is the only reason I agreed

554
00:38:05,413 --> 00:38:08,068
to let you pursue this
highly questionable...

555
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:11,158
Far more subtle....approach.

556
00:38:12,377 --> 00:38:14,030
Good luck, brother.

557
00:38:14,074 --> 00:38:16,250
And see that you don't fall in love.

558
00:38:19,775 --> 00:38:22,300
Nice to see you looking
like yourself again.

559
00:38:27,043 --> 00:38:29,350
You said you told Commodore Oh

560
00:38:29,394 --> 00:38:31,352
everything about our conversation

561
00:38:31,396 --> 00:38:33,920
except for one thing--
what was that?

562
00:38:35,617 --> 00:38:37,489
That I'm going with you.

563
00:38:37,532 --> 00:38:39,142
To look for the girl,

564
00:38:39,186 --> 00:38:41,319
Dahj.

565
00:38:41,362 --> 00:38:43,016
The other Dahj.

566
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:45,105
You are going to look
for her, right?

567
00:38:45,148 --> 00:38:46,498
That's what Oh thought,

568
00:38:46,541 --> 00:38:49,936
that y-you were planning
to get a ship and a pilot

569
00:38:49,979 --> 00:38:52,025
and go off looking
for the second synth.

570
00:38:52,068 --> 00:38:53,592
Are you?

571
00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:00,425
You're early.

572
00:39:00,468 --> 00:39:02,427
Nope. My sources tell me...

573
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:03,819
What sources?

574
00:39:03,863 --> 00:39:06,561
...it's about to get
very hot chez vous.

575
00:39:06,605 --> 00:39:08,128
It's already hot.

576
00:39:08,171 --> 00:39:09,347
Hotter.

577
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:11,436
Is that your pilot?
Mm-hmm.

578
00:39:11,479 --> 00:39:15,570
Okay. You have to take me
with you, and here's why: A,

579
00:39:15,614 --> 00:39:18,268
I just killed a man
to save your life;

580
00:39:18,312 --> 00:39:19,748
B,

581
00:39:19,792 --> 00:39:23,491
You are a good, decent man,
capable of empathy and pity,

582
00:39:23,535 --> 00:39:26,494
and... I am a scientist

583
00:39:26,538 --> 00:39:29,802
who has spent her entire
life imagining a miracle,

584
00:39:29,845 --> 00:39:33,153
knowing that it could never
come to pass, and now it has,

585
00:39:33,196 --> 00:39:35,590
and it's real, and I have to see her;

586
00:39:35,634 --> 00:39:37,592
and, C, I don't know
how much it costs

587
00:39:37,636 --> 00:39:39,507
to go where you're going or...

588
00:39:39,551 --> 00:39:41,204
how much this guy charges...

589
00:39:41,248 --> 00:39:43,032
I'm expensive.

590
00:39:43,076 --> 00:39:44,556
...but I'm Agnes P. Jurati.

591
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:46,427
I'm the Earth's leading
expert on synthetic life,

592
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:48,255
and I promise you, if
you take me with you,

593
00:39:48,298 --> 00:39:50,779
I will more than earn my keep.

594
00:39:57,438 --> 00:39:58,918
Time to go.

595
00:40:08,144 --> 00:40:09,537
Raffi?

596
00:40:11,017 --> 00:40:12,540
What is this?

597
00:40:12,584 --> 00:40:14,412
Ah, "sources."

598
00:40:15,717 --> 00:40:17,458
I found Maddox.

599
00:40:17,502 --> 00:40:19,112
Where is he?
I tell you,

600
00:40:19,155 --> 00:40:20,679
you promise you'll take me with you?

601
00:40:20,722 --> 00:40:22,463
I would be honored
to have you join me.

602
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:23,464
Oh, no, no,

603
00:40:23,508 --> 00:40:25,379
I'm-I'm not joining you.

604
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:27,337
Never again.

605
00:40:27,381 --> 00:40:29,339
I'm just hitching a ride.

606
00:40:29,383 --> 00:40:30,428
To where?

607
00:40:30,471 --> 00:40:32,734
Bruce Maddox is on Freecloud.

608
00:40:32,778 --> 00:40:34,693
Freecloud.

609
00:40:34,736 --> 00:40:36,259
Yes, of course.

610
00:40:36,303 --> 00:40:38,131
Why do you want to go to Freecloud?

611
00:40:38,174 --> 00:40:39,828
Have we met?

612
00:40:39,872 --> 00:40:41,308
Agnes Jurati.

613
00:40:41,351 --> 00:40:43,615
That's it?

614
00:40:43,658 --> 00:40:46,139
You're just gonna let
Agnes here hitch a ride

615
00:40:46,182 --> 00:40:47,619
on your top secret mission?

616
00:40:47,662 --> 00:40:49,185
Dr.Juratii

617
00:40:49,229 --> 00:40:52,275
is the Earth's leading
expert on synthetic life.

618
00:40:52,319 --> 00:40:54,843
You didn't even ask me to run
any kind of security check,

619
00:40:54,887 --> 00:40:56,671
not even the most basic.

620
00:40:56,715 --> 00:40:59,369
Why do you want to go to Freecloud?

621
00:40:59,413 --> 00:41:02,024
I'm under no obligation to
tell that to any of you.

622
00:41:03,722 --> 00:41:06,289
And once we get there,
you're on your own.

623
00:41:07,508 --> 00:41:09,249
Who areyouu, lady?

624
00:41:11,033 --> 00:41:12,339
Can we go already?

625
00:41:12,382 --> 00:41:14,210
Yes, fine.

626
00:41:24,569 --> 00:41:26,309
Engage.

627
00:41:36,058 --> 00:41:40,019
