00:01:59Unsettled by man, it was the end.

00:02:09And its story remained dark to me until many years later.

00:02:14Until it became my story.

00:02:18Until it became the only story.

00:02:29Don't do that!

00:02:51Sorry.

00:02:52Where are the others?

00:02:54Uh, we're meeting them at the fence.

00:02:56We're a bit late.

00:02:59Come on, guys.

00:03:19Shit.

00:03:22A bishop's claw.

00:03:24A valley.

00:03:25We need to go quiet.

00:03:29No field starts all the way up there.

00:03:34Hit that rock.

00:03:37They called it the Vault.

00:03:39All the colonists knew for certain was that it projected a field designed to keep people away.

00:03:45No one could breach it.

00:03:47No one could get it and it's real.

00:03:52Jory.

00:03:53You going to go first?

00:03:54I thought you were first.

00:03:56You go first and put your marker past a rock.

00:03:59I'll let you touch my tit.

00:04:00Gee, yeah.

00:04:01For one minute.

00:04:02Ten seconds.

00:04:04Or, you can look at them both for 30.

00:04:06Swear on your moon.

00:04:08The sword.

00:04:12You get nothing if you win.

00:04:14Get to watch him piss his pants.

00:04:18He's not gonna make it.

00:04:20Come on, Kier.

00:04:36Kier.

00:04:52Kier.

00:04:53Kier, are you okay?

00:04:54Your brother is an asshole.

00:04:56Kier, stop laughing.

00:04:58That's it. I was almost there.

00:05:00I was close.

00:05:01Pauly, where are you going?

00:05:02Shit.

00:05:03Pauly! Pauly, come back!

00:05:04I know. I want to see the ghost.

00:05:34Shit.

00:05:38Pauline!

00:05:40He's not moving.

00:05:42Pauline!

00:05:44We gotta get help.

00:05:46I'm sorry!

00:05:48I'm sorry!

00:06:04They're all gone. Eat.

00:06:26I saw the ghost.

00:06:28He saw me.

00:06:30Eat.

00:06:32You should've turned back like your boy Kier.

00:06:36People who've tried to get closer have been hurt.

00:06:38Really. You weren't.

00:06:40You got the record and you're okay.

00:06:42Am I?

00:06:44Your mark is so far,

00:06:46no one's ever seen it.

00:06:48That's because it doesn't exist.

00:06:50And neither does the ghost.

00:06:56When do you think it's gonna tell us what it is?

00:06:58Gordon.

00:07:00Call me Salvor.

00:07:02And you assume it cares anything about us?

00:07:04It doesn't.

00:07:08It's not just people it keeps away.

00:07:10It's everything. It's birds, insects.

00:07:12No one's ever gotten through the knoll field

00:07:14and no one ever will.

00:07:16It's warning us to stay away.

00:07:18So stop tempting fate.

00:07:20Go. Be careful.

00:07:22There's a bishop's claw.

00:07:24There's a bishop's claw.

00:07:25Up valley.

00:07:26I know.

00:07:28I know.

00:07:30I know.

00:07:32I know.

00:07:34I know.

00:07:36I know.

00:07:38I know.

00:07:40I know.

00:07:42The heroes and villains fighting for the salvation of mankind.

00:07:46But to understand our future,

00:07:48we have to remember the past

00:07:50and the ones who caused it all.

00:07:52A mathematician.

00:07:54A martyr.

00:07:56A murderer.

00:07:58And the most important player of all,

00:08:02Harry Selden.

00:08:04She'll be on her way soon.

00:08:22It will all work out, Rage.

00:08:24Everything is dying.

00:08:26That doesn't mean it will all work out.

00:08:30Do you ever wish there was another way?

00:08:32Every day, Sel.

00:08:36But this is the optimal time.

00:08:38an attorney for a child.

00:08:41Remember you can enter your life.

00:08:42And as long as it is,

00:08:44you must pay attention.

00:08:46If you don't have to pay attention to your own drugs,

00:08:48you must pay attention to your wife.

00:08:50You're not paying attention to your family.

00:08:52And he was earning,

00:08:53and he was earning money.

00:08:54Now you're paying attention to your family.

00:08:56It is a miracle.

00:08:57And now you'll have to pay attention to your daughter.

00:08:59It is for you.

00:09:00It is for you.

00:09:01It's time.

00:09:10Gail, are you ready?

00:09:16Yes.

00:09:21All my life, I looked out and dreamed of being somewhere else.

00:09:25Now, I realize how much I'll miss this view.

00:09:28I have to remember it perfectly.

00:13:35the jump i don't know why

00:13:37well the grab generated is output away from that crops the drum drives the ability to

00:13:40plot four dimensional points at trans dimensional speeds

00:13:44Why are you going to try and tour?

00:13:47I'm going to work with Harry Seldon.

00:13:50I won a math contest.

00:13:51Wow.

00:13:53Harry Seldon.

00:13:54And you from Sinax.

00:13:56It was a pretty big contest.

00:14:03Commencing job in three, two, one.

00:14:14I'm going to work with Harry Seldon.

00:14:44I'm going to work with Harry.

00:15:14How am I going to work?

00:15:32We have to sleep through the jump.

00:15:35It's supposed to be quite the light show.

00:15:36But if you're not a spacer, you can find your body and mind taking different trips.

00:15:43I sleep through the whole thing.

00:15:49Wow.

00:15:51If the Empire is good for anything, they can damn well build.

00:15:54This is incredible.

00:16:01I'm going to work with James Little lakes thank you for what I need to do to keep it up.

00:16:12Oh, I'm going to work with James Littleالم.

00:16:15Oh, yeah.

00:16:17Oh, yeah.

00:16:19Oh, yeah.

00:16:20Oh, yeah.

00:16:21Oh, yeah.

00:16:22You've got to work with things.

00:16:23Welcome to Trantor, the Eye of the Empire.

00:16:45Please respect and enjoy the peace.

00:16:53Dr. Harry Seldon, Streeling University.

00:17:23Expected return to home planet?

00:17:25I'm not going back.

00:17:28This is my home now.

00:17:30Any car on the stock, please respect and enjoy the peace.

00:17:39Now that I know you a little better, I won't waste my breath explaining everything.

00:17:43This part is great, don't worry.

00:17:53I'm going to stay awake the whole ride.

00:17:55Me too.

00:17:56It takes 14 hours to drop from Trantor Station to the planet's surface.

00:18:21Although technically, it's not the surface.

00:18:27Billions of citizens spend their lives beneath Trantor's outer shell, toiling away on a hundred subterranean levels without ever seeing the sun or the stars.

00:18:37Whatever remained of the natural world belonged to the emperors.

00:18:52Dawn.

00:18:53Day.

00:18:54Dusk.

00:18:55The Genetic Dynasty.

00:18:56Clones of Cleon the First.

00:18:57Decanted at different ages.

00:18:58Master Orleo.

00:18:59Empire.

00:19:00How long have you worked for us?

00:19:01Sixty-eight previous years.

00:19:02The Genetic Dynasty.

00:19:03The Genetic Dynasty.

00:19:04Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:05The Genetic Dynasty.

00:19:06Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:07Decanted at different ages.

00:19:08Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:09Mal.

00:19:10Lay off in the dark.

00:19:11Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:14Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:16Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:19Clones of Cleon the First.

00:19:21Master Orleo.

00:19:22Empire.

00:19:23How long have you worked for us?

00:19:26Sixty-eight privileged years.

00:19:27Empire.

00:19:28privileged years, Empire. Started cleaning the mural when I was 12. Gone from one end to the

00:19:35other four times over since then. Now every grain of chroma by heart now. Tell me, are there some

00:19:41colors more resistant to cleaning than others? Plum, periwinkle, saffron is a particularly

00:19:50truculent pigment. What about crimson? Is crimson truculent? Empire? It's come to our attention that

00:19:58a tract authored by Harry Selden was discovered in your quarters. Apologies, Empire. It was

00:20:04foolish of me. It's just that I... Heard whispers of his proclamations and were curious. They

00:20:11refer to Selden as the Raven, don't they? I hear he's rather critical of the Imperium. Well,

00:20:20I'm happy to report that his words are baseless, trash, and atrociously written, if I might add.

00:20:26Nevertheless, man has amassed a following. People who hinge their hopes on every word Raven Selden

00:20:34utters. Words have a way of fanning into wildfires, Orleo. I am loyal, Empire. I would never...

00:20:43I know you won't, which is why I broached this subject in person. Empire!

00:20:47What are your lessons this morning, Brother Dawn? The Outer Reach Kingdoms. I learned an old

00:21:04Anachron song about hunting. Well, there is much truth in music. A boy bleeds a fawn with a knife,

00:21:13then takes shelter in her coat. That one's not really a hunting song. That's a dirty song about a boy's first time with a woman.

00:21:21Play it back in your mind, and don't confuse the two. Brother Day, please leave the peacock to the cooks. You'll be no less fascinating to your biographers.

00:21:32Brother Dusk imagines I'd do this to be colorful. And Brother Day puts more words in my mouth than he does poultry.

00:21:38It's the lard. The cook's injected under the skin with a needle right before roasting. Do you know why they use a needle?

00:21:44Because it's efficient? Because they're afraid if they use a knife, as is the time-honored way, they might rip the skin and I'll send them to a stew pot store 50 levels down.

00:21:54All of which is a problem. Why? Because when people are afraid to do the job right, they're certain to do it wrong. That's poor stewardship.

00:22:05It's poor roast peacock. Not everything is a teachable moment.

00:22:12Empire. The delegations from Thespis and Anachron are arriving.

00:22:18How do they seem? Peavish. Barbarian kingdoms. More trouble than they're worth.

00:22:25About to reach trade, bring tariff projections to the residents. Dress nice. Have someone brush your hair.

00:22:34It's not the most important thing we'll do this week, but it's the most important thing they'll do in their lifetime.

00:22:41Anachron and Thespis. Observe the mannerisms of each party.

00:23:04They hate each other. Their enmity is legendary, but war is expensive, and so we have called them onto the carpet to broker a peace.

00:23:25It's the most important thing.

00:23:26It's the most important thing.

00:23:27Thanks for the company.

00:23:28Good luck with the new job. I hope Harry Selden is worth the trip.

00:23:30Thanks.

00:23:31Cute.

00:23:32Where are you?

00:23:33Hmm.

00:23:34Hmm.

00:23:35Hmm.

00:23:36Hmm.

00:23:37Hmm.

00:23:38Hmm.

00:23:39Hmm.

00:23:40Thanks for the company.

00:23:41Good luck with the new job. I hope Harry Selden is worth the trip.

00:23:43Thanks.

00:23:44Cute.

00:23:45Raish, Raish, Raish, Raish. Where are you? Hmm.

00:24:03That's me.

00:24:04What?

00:24:05That's me, Raish.

00:24:07Oh.

00:24:08I work for Harry.

00:24:11Doctor Selden.

00:24:13Baggage claim is this way.

00:24:15No.

00:24:16No.

00:24:17This is all I have.

00:24:18Oh.

00:24:19Okay.

00:24:20Then the rest of the planet is this way.

00:24:27Supposed to be a perfect replica.

00:24:29Not that we'd know under the outer shell.

00:24:32Half of level 64 is just servers running skies.

00:24:38Is there still a seer church here on Trantal?

00:24:41Down there, I think.

00:24:43Level 22.

00:24:47I'd like to see it.

00:24:51What?

00:24:54Sorry, I've...

00:24:56I've never met anyone from Cinex before.

00:24:59An expression of compassion and stewardship.

00:25:12The mural of souls.

00:25:14Worked on every day by the senior member of the Genetic Dynasty.

00:25:18The mural depicts the 4th century age of peace and the galactic family.

00:25:22Notice the active chrome.

00:25:24How the pigment subtly moves.

00:25:32Provincial ambassador Zendam.

00:25:35Do you have a question or a comment about the mural?

00:25:38We were just marveling at the Empire's benevolent reach.

00:25:44For it is a marvel.

00:25:45Hmm.

00:25:46It's a marvel.

00:25:47Hmm.

00:25:48Those are great secrets.

00:25:49Back to Hava.

00:25:51Lines are the 없는 nitrogen.

00:25:52Yung!

00:25:53A many 7 thousands of visitors.

00:25:54Back to Hava.

00:25:55A couple of years, it was linked to another one right.

00:25:57A few before the walls.

00:25:58Yeah, must not be open.

00:25:59You or something?

00:26:01Or there should be too, sure.

00:26:02Those are the ancients.

00:26:03Graphic lately.

00:26:04Not vatic lately.

00:26:05So what is it the magic is nothing.

00:26:07Hmm.

00:26:08Are you praying?

00:26:09No.

00:26:10Why?

00:26:11Your lips were moving.

00:26:12Yeah, um, when I'm nervous, I can't primes.

00:26:22Mary said you'd want to see this.

00:26:41Gail, meet Harry.

00:26:51Dr. Seldon, I am so honored you invited me here.

00:26:57What did you think of the Imperial Library?

00:27:00It's amazing.

00:27:01So many books in one place.

00:27:03I imagine books were hard to come by on Synax.

00:27:06Please, sit.

00:27:11So, you know Kale's ninth proof of folding.

00:27:19Yes, I couldn't have solved a Braxas without it.

00:27:22No one else thought to use it, not in 500 years.

00:27:27Why do you think that is?

00:27:30Kale's writing is poetic.

00:27:33It's beautiful, but it's hard to imagine there's any rigor there.

00:27:36So, serious scholars don't read her.

00:27:41Why did you?

00:27:43I went to Kale for the rhythm of the words at first.

00:27:47I missed the math.

00:27:48But when I read Between the Lines, I realized she was proposing a radical theory about rings of integers in non-Archimedian local fields.

00:27:57Indeed she was.

00:27:58It does make me wonder, though, how you managed to stumble across Kale's ninth proof in the first place, given where you were.

00:28:07Kale's ninth proof in the first place.

00:28:10This isn't Synax, Kale.

00:28:13Curiosity isn't a crime here.

00:28:15I was lonely.

00:28:18Almost no one there thought like I thought.

00:28:21But math doesn't take sides.

00:28:24It doesn't judge.

00:28:25I imagine you were lonely.

00:28:28A mind like yours in a place like that.

00:28:30Kale's original proof manuscript, written in her native Thraxian.

00:28:43They're going to arrest me tomorrow.

00:29:02And you.

00:29:02What?

00:29:03It's almost a certainty.

00:29:05Arrest?

00:29:06Why?

00:29:06There's a non-zero chance it won't happen.

00:29:09It's not a number worth discussing.

00:29:12No, this has to be a mistake.

00:29:14People, why, Gale?

00:29:16Numbers don't.

00:29:16Are you familiar with my work, Psychohistory?

00:29:19Every mathematician has read your...

00:29:21Do you agree with the concept?

00:29:22In theory, but I don't know what it has to do with...

00:29:25Oh, it's not a theory.

00:29:26It's the destiny of the human race expressed in numbers.

00:29:29And it's the reason the Empire will take us.

00:29:31They're worried you can predict the future.

00:29:34They're worried people believe I can.

00:29:35And they don't like the future, I predict.

00:29:38But just what?

00:29:42Trantor is going to be destroyed.

00:29:44The Empire will fall.

00:29:45You understand?

00:29:46These aren't things I'm anxious to tell people.

00:29:49It's just what the math tells me.

00:29:50Why let me come all this way just to arrest me?

00:29:55That's a good question.

00:29:56You tell me.

00:30:05Because I solved Abraxas.

00:30:31They think I'm the only one who can prove you wrong.

00:30:35And you are, if I was.

00:30:37But I'm not.

00:30:39Did you know all this when you were showing me the sites?

00:30:41There's more at stake here than you can imagine, Gale.

00:30:43I risked my life coming here.

00:30:49And now you want me to risk it again just to support your numbers.

00:30:52That's not entirely accurate, is it, Gale?

00:30:55You left Synax one step ahead of arrest yourself.

00:30:58So you know math is never just numbers.

00:31:00In the wrong hands, it's a weapon.

00:31:03In the right hands, deliverance.

00:31:07Go.

00:31:14Get some sleep.

00:31:16It should take the most of the night to divine your hotel.

00:31:19We'll talk soon.

00:31:21I know it's not the prize you came here for.

00:31:25But it will have to do.

00:31:27I can't keep this.

00:31:28Of course you can.

00:31:29This building will burn one day.

00:31:33Stealing is a mercy.

00:31:34I've read all his work.

00:31:52It's like a history.

00:31:52I just never imagined he'd use it this way.

00:31:56The Empire isn't going to hurt you.

00:31:58They need you.

00:31:59You don't know that.

00:32:00And neither does he.

00:32:01No, you haven't seen it.

00:32:04When a planet wants you dead, you die.

00:32:09Ambassador Xander, planet Anakreon, outer reach.

00:32:13Ashekdi, Udehi Majespite, Empire.

00:32:21Carved from the oldest tree in the Talon forest.

00:32:26The same wood used to carve the bow of Anakreon's greatest hunter, Larkin Cain.

00:32:31Thank you, Ambassador.

00:32:32Did you enjoy the Mural of Souls?

00:32:36Yes, Empire.

00:32:37I have never seen anything like it.

00:32:41Honored diplomat Shea and Shea, planet Thespis, outer reach.

00:32:46Falaji lukuzum elais ajaraar, Theigin Empire.

00:32:50A Thespian book of ablution.

00:32:55The filigree was recently smithed to honor the Imperial peace.

00:33:00Thank you, honored diplomat.

00:33:03And thank you both delegations for making the journey to Trantor.

00:33:07I thought you had a choice.

00:33:11For nine centuries, the Anthor Belt Agreement served your planets well.

00:33:15Last year, Thespis identified a rogue asteroid which they believe drifted from the area governed by the agreement.

00:33:21We took no official position.

00:33:26Just our ten percent.

00:33:28Anakreon believes Thespis acts in bad faith.

00:33:33The Empire believes...

00:33:35Imperial blood has been shed on a cold rock 50,000 light-years from home.

00:33:46For any of these three beliefs, a thousand wars have been fought.

00:33:50The next days will determine if there will be another.

00:33:54Respect and enjoy the peace.

00:34:01Respect and enjoy the peace.

00:34:17Brother Don, what do you make of that?

00:34:20The Thespans want to remind you how important the Anthro Belt asteroids are to their religion.

00:34:27But look there.

00:34:28In the metal filigree.

00:34:30The pattern in the sigil is made of heavy palladium.

00:34:33The metal from the rogue asteroid.

00:34:35How much would you say of the sigil?

00:34:37Maybe a fifth of it?

00:34:39Closer to a quarter.

00:34:41Currently, the Thespans tithe ten percent of the mind ore to us.

00:34:45This is their way of quietly saying they'll go all the way to twenty-five percent if we side with them.

00:34:51There's no metal here at all.

00:34:53Not even in the arrow tips.

00:34:55That's right.

00:34:58Why?

00:34:59The Anakrians need palladium.

00:35:01They have none.

00:35:03It's like the hunting song.

00:35:05It's not at all about hunting.

00:35:09Art is simply politics' sweeter tongue.

00:35:12The customs of the Outer Reach may seem idiosyncratic.

00:35:17But our attention to detail is how we maintain the peace.

00:35:22And if the people step out of line, we hit them with a big stick.

00:35:27Mm-hmm.

00:35:32Selden.

00:35:33And the girl.

00:35:36Don't overthink the stick.

00:35:38The Seer Church.

00:35:41Do we have time?

00:35:46Yeah.

00:35:54She can sit.

00:35:55He will stand.

00:35:58But he will need to disarm.

00:36:00The Heretic and I will talk.

00:36:18Upon awakening.

00:36:20Upon awakening.

00:36:21We speak the words.

00:36:24The words make a scene.

00:36:26Do you know who I am?

00:36:27I know that she has torn the sleeper's words from her face and can't be seen by God.

00:36:34But do you know who I am?

00:36:36She has solved one of life's ancient puzzles and cheapened the worth of life into solving it.

00:36:41Of course I know.

00:36:43Oncenex is almost as famous as her new god, Selden.

00:36:50He's not a god.

00:36:51No.

00:36:52He is not.

00:36:55He will die as all men like him die.

00:36:58Unseen by God.

00:37:00As will his followers.

00:37:02As will she.

00:37:03Galdonik.

00:37:07I'll say this once.

00:37:09Because I am at highest ranking and only see a priest on this forsaken world.

00:37:16If you are in trouble, I can help you.

00:37:23Is that what you want?

00:37:24You want me to stay?

00:37:52Will that stop him from arresting me?

00:37:55No.

00:37:57I'll be alright.

00:37:58I'll see you.

00:38:00Will you?

00:38:01Of course.

00:38:02I'll be right back.

00:38:08I'll be right back.

00:38:09I'll be right back.

00:38:10I'll be right back.

00:38:11I'll be right back.

00:38:12I'll be right back.

00:38:13I'll be right back.

00:38:14I'll be right back.

00:38:15I'll be right back.

00:38:16I'll be right back.

00:38:17I'll be right back.

00:38:18I'll be right back.

00:38:19I'll be right back.

00:38:20I'll be right back.

00:38:21I'll be right back.

00:38:22I'll be right back.

00:38:23I'll be right back.

00:38:24I'll be right back.

00:38:25I'll be right back.

00:38:26I'll be right back.

00:38:27I'll be right back.

00:38:28some like to pray one last time did you eat no

00:38:58you

00:39:28What did you make of her?

00:39:36They haven't gotten her yet.

00:39:38Yet.

00:39:40What do you make of her?

00:39:41She sold Abraxas on her, I'm sure of that.

00:39:46As for the other question, we shall see.

00:39:58What do you make of her?

00:40:28My name's Lord Avakim.

00:40:43Harry sent me.

00:40:46Where is he?

00:40:49Arrested, as he predicted.

00:40:52You've both been charged with high treason.

00:40:55Conspiracy to destabilize the Imperium.

00:40:58This is a nightmare.

00:41:00Harry wants you to know how sorry he is for involving you in this.

00:41:04It's not his fault.

00:41:10Is it?

00:41:12We can speak freely now.

00:41:15Once the Imperium learned of Harry's conclusions,

00:41:18they made no secret of trying to disrupt the project.

00:41:20Did Harry bring me here as bait?

00:41:22Because I can prove him wrong.

00:41:24He's not wrong, Miss Dornick.

00:41:27But yes, on the bait board.

00:41:29Are you all right?

00:41:50Hook hurts, but I'm trying not to wriggle too much.

00:41:55All rise.

00:42:00The tribunal of Cleon XII is convened.

00:42:10You're exalted.

00:42:12The offenders, Dr. Harry Seldon and Gail Dornick,

00:42:17are accused of crimes so grave

00:42:19that they threaten not just Trantor,

00:42:21but the entire galaxy's existence.

00:42:23I will prove that Dr. Seldon and his followers

00:42:27engaged in a conspiracy designed to destroy the confidence in our empire.

00:42:34Dr. Seldon, will you rise?

00:42:36You hail from the world of Helicon, yes?

00:42:40Yes.

00:42:41Will you state your current position here on Trantor?

00:42:44I'm a professor of probability theory at Stirling University,

00:42:49specifically the area of psychohistory.

00:42:53Define that for us, please.

00:42:55Psychohistory is a predictive model

00:42:58designed to forecast the behavior of very large populations.

00:43:03in plain-spoken terms.

00:43:06You claim to be able to predict the future.

00:43:09Well, I don't know what you're going to have for dinner,

00:43:13if that's what you're asking.

00:43:14You know what I'm asking.

00:43:16The Galactic Empire comprises some eight trillion individuals.

00:43:19Would you say that was a large enough sample to make a prediction?

00:43:22It is.

00:43:22And do you have a prediction for that particular sample?

00:43:28I do.

00:43:29Indulge us.

00:43:33Trantor and the Galactic Empire will lie in ruins within five centuries.

00:43:40Silence, brethren.

00:43:41Accepting your statement for the moment,

00:43:44can you prove it's true?

00:43:46Only to another mathematician conversant in ordinal analysis.

00:43:49How convenient.

00:43:54Your truths are so esoteric,

00:43:57they escape the grasp of nearly every citizen.

00:43:59They belong to science.

00:44:01The Imperium is 12,000 years old, Doctor.

00:44:05Are we really to believe

00:44:07that it could be gone

00:44:08in just 500?

00:44:12Maybe quicker.

00:44:13Quicker?

00:44:13A rotten tree trunk appears strong

00:44:16until the storm breaks it in two.

00:44:20Consider recent events in the Outer Reach.

00:44:23We're not here to consider any other...

00:44:25But you must!

00:44:28The Empire will fall.

00:44:31Order will vanish.

00:44:33Interstellar wars will be endless.

00:44:3610,000 worlds reduced

00:44:38to radioactive cinders.

00:44:41Nothing we do

00:44:43can prevent this.

00:44:45This...

00:44:47period of barbarism.

00:44:51How long do you claim it will last?

00:44:5430,000 years, advocate.

00:44:57I submit to the court

00:44:59that Dr. Seldon's predictions

00:45:01are actually intended

00:45:03to destroy public confidence.

00:45:05I'm not a revolutionary.

00:45:07Well, then, what are you?

00:45:10You've already said

00:45:11the future cannot be changed.

00:45:12So what exactly

00:45:14is the purpose of your project?

00:45:18I'm trying to soften the fall.

00:45:23It cannot be prevented.

00:45:26There's massive events

00:45:27rushing to meet us.

00:45:29But we can shorten

00:45:31the Dark Ages that follow.

00:45:34How much?

00:45:34If we embrace your plan.

00:45:38How much?

00:45:40We should be in the dark

00:45:41for a thousand years, advocate.

00:45:45And if that is all,

00:45:47we should thank the gods for it.

00:45:50I am going to keep

00:46:00my name

00:46:01and my name

00:46:02and my name

00:46:03is not really

00:46:04D'Abraxas.

00:46:04My name's not really Gerald, but you can keep calling me that.

00:46:15We've been watching you for some time, from the moment you solve the Abraxas conjecture,

00:46:20in fact.

00:46:21I brought you a gift.

00:46:24He calls it the Prime Radiant.

00:46:26It's beautiful, isn't it?

00:46:27He claims it contains all of his predictions concerning the Empire expressed as a mathematical

00:46:32equation.

00:46:33Did he allow you to examine it?

00:46:36No.

00:46:38Now, don't you think that's curious?

00:46:40He devises a theory so opaque that no one in the galaxy can understand it, and when he

00:46:44finds an individual who can, he doesn't allow her to look behind the curtain.

00:46:48Why?

00:46:49Because history is littered with charlatans and false messiahs.

00:46:54What if he's telling the truth?

00:46:55What if psycho-history is real?

00:46:57If his equations are flawed, you've a moral obligation to expose them.

00:47:01And if they hold true?

00:47:12Disavow them and go home.

00:47:14And I promise you Empire will find a way to express his gratitude.

00:47:18I'll make the calculus simple for you, Gail.

00:47:22If you say Harry's a liar, he dies.

00:47:25If you don't, you die.

00:47:27So we should just all bury our heads in the sand, then?

00:47:29If his equations hold true, then Empire will set about solving the problem, as we always

00:47:34have, without terrifying trillions of people.

00:47:38And I should believe in you, a spy.

00:47:39You should believe in the mines that built Trantor, built the jump drive, that built the starbridge.

00:47:46Where I come from, they call those scientists, not politicians.

00:47:49I know where you come from, Gail.

00:47:54They were called heretics and drowned.

00:47:57I also know what happened on the jump ship.

00:48:01During the jump.

00:48:02You were awake.

00:48:07You were aware.

00:48:10Why did you lie to me about it?

00:48:11I don't know.

00:48:14It scares me.

00:48:17What does?

00:48:19Being different.

00:48:21We're all different, Miss Dorney.

00:48:22My sister didn't speak until she was seven.

00:48:26Even then, just nouns.

00:48:27But you're something else.

00:48:30And if you don't know what it is, I urge you to figure it out before someone else does

00:48:33and uses it against you.

00:48:35The fact that I know.

00:48:55I don't care.

00:49:26You claim your plan can reduce the coming darkness. How?

00:49:34The ancients are rumored to have built a repository for the world's wisdom. According to myth, it burnt down. I'm proposing something less centralized. An encyclopedia Galactica.

00:49:45After the fall, a civilization climbs from the ashes. The coming generations will have something to build upon. A foundation.

00:49:57They won't have to reinvent the wheel. The knowledge will already exist. But it isn't just knowledge we'd be saving, but humanity's story.

00:50:08Our story.

00:50:14Trantor already has an imperial library.

00:50:18For how long?

00:50:20Well, that statement does bring us to the heart of the matter.

00:50:23You said you could prove your theorem to someone conversant in ordinal analysis.

00:50:28Rise.

00:50:31Galdonik. Please rise.

00:50:34Approach the dais, if you would.

00:50:36You're from Synax, correct? We should say that.

00:50:49I am.

00:50:50You've had your prayer stones removed. You almost look like one of us.

00:50:53My understanding of your world is that to remove the prayer stones is to break with the seer church. Is that right?

00:51:01That is church doctrine, yes.

00:51:03Tell me, are they still killing scientists and mathematicians?

00:51:08If you're talking about the purge, then...

00:51:12The church's term is the cleanse. You're exalted.

00:51:16When was it, according to church doctrine, that it stopped being heresy to study math?

00:51:21It never stopped.

00:51:22And yet, you solved the Abraxas conjecture.

00:51:27Yes.

00:51:27On a world where they burned the universities down.

00:51:31You must have been lonely there.

00:51:34I can imagine how it must have felt to be recognized by Dr. Harry Selden.

00:51:40To be given a job, to be valued.

00:51:43What do you want to know?

00:51:44I want to know if there is any possible way.

00:51:49You can be objective about Harry Selden.

00:51:52I don't know. Maybe I can't.

00:51:57Maybe that's why he brought me here.

00:52:00Last night you were given a chance to assess the accuracy of Dr. Selden's claims.

00:52:05Did you arrive at a conclusion?

00:52:06Dr. Selden's calculations are correct.

00:52:20The Empire is dying.

00:52:24Kill them.

00:52:27End this.

00:52:28Harry, the sky.

00:52:45Something's wrong with the star bridge.

00:52:47Anybody else?

00:53:02Oh, my God.

00:53:04Oh, oh, oh.

00:53:06Oh, oh.

00:53:08Oh, oh.

00:53:10Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:53:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:53:14Please respect and enjoy the peace.

00:53:16Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:53:18Expected return to home planet.

00:53:20Three days.

00:53:22Please respect and enjoy the peace.

00:53:28This car will commence its descent down the stalk momentarily.

00:53:32You may feel a jolt.

00:53:34Please secure yourselves before commencing descent.

00:53:40Oh.

00:53:42Let's go.

00:54:12I don't know.

00:54:42I don't know.

00:55:12I don't know.

00:55:42I don't know.

00:56:12I don't know.

00:56:42I don't know.

00:57:12There are reports of Anacreon and Thespian war cries before the explosion.

00:57:22Songs of rebellion.

00:57:23We had no part to this.

00:57:25We will, of course, be returning your gifts.

00:57:2986,900,000,000,000.

00:57:36What are you doing here?

00:57:51I petitioned the committee.

00:57:53They're saying 100 million dead.

00:57:59The outer reaches may be in rebellion.

00:58:02The attacks changed everything.

00:58:07Harry said there's a non-zero chance you'll die, but non-zero is still a number.

00:58:11They're going to kill Harry, you know, you don't have to die with him.

00:58:18I've already said his math was right.

00:58:21Say you looked at it again.

00:58:24Say you were wrong.

00:58:26You've lost faith.

00:58:27I'm sorry.

00:58:29She doesn't need that.

00:58:39Get her.

00:58:40Shall I speak first?

00:58:47Or will you?

00:58:48By all means, Dr. Selden.

00:58:51Speak.

00:58:52You hold us responsible.

00:58:54How could I not?

00:58:55My science can predict societal actions, trends, not individual ones.

00:59:00But I'm not surprised it happened.

00:59:03Why is that?

00:59:04You're stretched too thin.

00:59:07That's why the kingdoms of the outer reach struck first.

00:59:10And who can blame them?

00:59:11Hmm?

00:59:13Sensing vulnerabilities, soon other players will begin to apply downward pressure.

00:59:17An exhortation from one of the galaxy's major religions is a given,

00:59:22or perhaps a homegrown insurrection here on Trantor.

00:59:25Scarbridge!

00:59:26Who did this?

00:59:28I don't know.

00:59:30Tell me why I shouldn't kill you and your followers right now.

00:59:34My followers aren't responsible.

00:59:35If you do, you'll be dead within the year.

00:59:40The prodigy speaks.

00:59:50So speak.

00:59:52Your agent, Gerald, asked me to check Dr. Selden's work.

00:59:59I went a little farther in the equation.

01:00:01If you kill him, the fall accelerates.

01:00:06That's a convenient data point for your son.

01:00:09Only he can shorten the darkness.

01:00:13Kill him, you kill hope.

01:00:16Kill hope.

01:00:18They kill you.

01:00:20Hmm.

01:00:22What are the odds?

01:00:27The only two people who can save the galaxy are in this room.

01:00:31And one of them is wrong.

01:00:34I agree.

01:00:36If the fall can be accelerated, can it not also be slowed?

01:00:44Yes.

01:00:45By a few centuries.

01:00:47Don't keep us in the dark.

01:00:49End imperial cloning.

01:00:51End imperial cloning.

01:00:52Imperial cloning stopped the wars.

01:00:58Imperial cloning brought peace.

01:01:00Our genetic dynasty has reigned for almost four centuries.

01:01:04Surely you can understand the value in a younger mind who shares your intellect.

01:01:08Well, I see the value in difference in the new.

01:01:14You offer nothing new.

01:01:15You offer nothing new.

01:01:16Just a younger grape.

01:01:20From the same vine.

01:01:22Destined for the same old bottle.

01:01:25You can't save yourselves.

01:01:30But you can save your legacy.

01:01:34Yours or mine, Dr. Seldon?

01:01:37You can't save yourself.

01:01:53How long did it take you to trigger the Prime Radiant?

01:01:59I got it on the second try.

01:02:06You knew they'd offer it to me.

01:02:14Harry, when I looked at it, I...

01:02:17You know, I really thought they'd try and make it seem more of a fair fight, but they didn't

01:02:21bother, did they?

01:02:22Did we?

01:02:26The hook still hurting you?

01:02:29Xylus used the same phrase you did.

01:02:33I was lonely.

01:02:35They were listening.

01:02:37You knew they were listening.

01:02:39They're listening now.

01:02:40Fine.

01:02:41What do you want them to hear?

01:02:43Abraxas was the bait.

01:02:47Not you.

01:02:48I just moved before they did.

01:02:51You have more agency here, Gale, than you realize.

01:02:56The Emperor has determined that your deaths are not the optimal outcome for the good of

01:03:19the Imperium.

01:03:20You will be allowed to refine your work on psychohistory, to build your foundation.

01:03:28But not on Trantor.

01:03:31Terminus.

01:03:32It is uninhabited.

01:03:35Sitting in the periphery, along the galaxy's outer reach.

01:03:38And Acryl and Thespis are also in the periphery.

01:03:41Yes.

01:03:42The barbarian kingdoms will be your neighbors.

01:03:44You will journey via slowship.

01:03:47The Empire forbids you access to jump-drive technology.

01:03:50You're exiling us.

01:03:52On Terminus.

01:03:53You will not trouble Trantor, and there will be no disturbance of the Emperor's peace.

01:03:58The galaxy will know that you are fighting the Fall.

01:04:03If psychohistory proves fraudulent, your foundation will be allowed to wither and vanish.

01:04:12And if it's successful, you'll co-opt it, and use it to bolster your regime.

01:04:19Terminus.

01:04:20I've never even heard of it.

01:04:21There's no reason you would.

01:04:22It's 50,000 light-years away.

01:04:23About a jump-drive.

01:04:24The journey there, 1900...

01:04:25878 days.

01:04:26Approximately.

01:04:27We'll be fine.

01:04:28There'll be hardships.

01:04:29No question.

01:04:30Terminus.

01:04:31Orbit's a red dwarf.

01:04:32The seasons are extreme.

01:04:33Metal and mineral fall.

01:04:34You know it well.

01:04:35Terminus.

01:04:36Terminus.

01:04:37Terminus.

01:04:38Terminus.

01:04:39Terminus.

01:04:40Terminus.

01:04:41Terminus.

01:04:42Terminus.

01:04:43Terminus.

01:04:44Terminus.

01:04:45Terminus.

01:04:47Terminus.

01:04:48Terminus.

01:04:49Terminus.

01:04:50Terminus.

01:04:51Terminus.

01:04:52Terminus.

01:04:53Terminus.

01:04:54Terminus.

01:04:55Terminus.

01:04:56Terminus.

01:04:57Terminus.

01:04:58Terminus.

01:04:59Terminus.

01:05:00Terminus.

01:05:01Terminus.

01:05:02Terminus.

01:05:03Terminus.

01:05:04Terminus.

01:05:05Terminus.

01:05:06Terminus.

01:05:07Terminus.

01:05:08Terminus.

01:05:09Terminus.

01:05:10Terminus.

01:05:11Terminus.

01:05:12Terminus.

01:05:13Terminus.

01:05:14Terminus.

01:05:15Terminus.

01:05:16Terminus.

01:05:17Terminus.

01:05:18Terminus.

01:05:19I thought if I could make people listen that I could save them change is frightening

01:05:27Especially to those in power and I can feel the Empire's fear

01:05:32When I looked into the prime radiant I could see the darkness took my breath away at first it was crushing

01:05:41But then I looked deeper and I could see this tiny sliver of light at the very end of it all

01:05:49And I realized it's not the fall they're afraid of it's the chance that your plan will actually succeed

01:05:58It takes more power to build than to burn and I want to build Harry

01:06:04You'll get your chance

01:06:07This isn't the foundation's first crisis and it won't be our last

01:06:11Something tells me you already know what the next crisis will be

01:06:16The Emperor's peace

01:06:18Will be maintained

01:06:25From Synax to Trontor

01:06:27Now Terminus

01:06:29You came here helping to save your world. I'm asking you to dream bigger

01:06:35Why stop at one world why not save the galaxy?

01:06:40Why not indeed

01:06:48Harry had planned for it all things only he saw over the horizon

01:07:09Harry had planned for it all. Things only he saw over the horizon.

01:07:19Psychohistory could forecast the behavior of entire populations with stunning accuracy.

01:07:24But, when it came to individuals, things got murkier.

01:07:30No one could approach the vault. No one but an outlier like Salvo Hardin.

01:07:40And I always wondered.

01:07:43When Harry was formulating his plan, did he realize the galaxy's fate would rest in what she found inside?

01:07:51I think he did. And I think that's what he feared the most.

01:08:00J.S. Leute, what I mean by the sky, the most is the the sky in the sky.

01:08:05I don't know the sky, but I won't know the sky.

01:08:11You can go there and I'll be singing and singing again.

01:08:16And it's the whole time.

01:08:21The whole time I've got a moreat in my mind.
