00:00Previously on Foundation
00:02I brought you something
00:04Color correction adhesives
00:05So you can see red and green
00:06If they ever learn how different I am
00:08It'll be my last day
00:09Six kills
00:10Brother Dusk will be impressed
00:12So these are the bushes
00:12I killed three
00:13Pharah wants us to help her take control of this ship
00:15The Invictus
00:17A world killer
00:18These older ships needed something with massive processing power to navigate their jumps
00:22They had to be hardwired directly into the ships
00:25Could someone jack in without the surgery?
00:27It would be a death sentence

01:26Transcription by CastingWords
01:56Ask a historian. What was mankind's greatest invention? Fire? The wheel? The sword? I would argue it's history itself. History isn't fact. It's narrative. One carefully curated and shaped. Under the pen strokes of the right scribe, a villain becomes a hero. A lie becomes the truth.
02:22Daddy? Yeah? Where did we come from? Trantor. Before that, where did people come from? In the beginning. There are lots of different theories. Most of them say that humans originally inhabited a single planetary system.
02:42Only one. And we don't even know which. Sirius, Alpha Centauri. Some people think that we came from someplace called Earth. Come here. Come.
02:52So, everyone we know about, they also came from the same place? Anachryans and Thespans too? Anachryans and Thespans too, yeah.
03:05Then how can they hate us?
03:06Being human is complicated, Sal. We share a common origin and some of the same myths. But we're governed by this. In here is all the capacity for rational thinking.
03:26But it's sharing skull space with our emotions. But it's sharing skull space with our emotions. And sometimes emotions shout louder than logic. And somebody's emotions got real insistent that the Empire were doing them wrong.
03:42So they blew up the star bridge.
03:45Yeah.
03:48Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
03:53So, they're not like us at all then. Right?
03:57It gets loud up inside here too, doesn't it?
04:00I guess it does.
04:02Come here. Come here.
04:05Here's the thing, Sal.
04:12Millions of people died
04:14when that star bridge came down.
04:18And the Empire killed many millions more on Anachryan and Thespans.
04:26And who won?
04:28Nobody.
04:28Nobody.
04:30And that's how we know that the fall is bound to happen.
04:36Past behavior is the best predictor of future performance.
04:41Agent Bane.
05:08No.
05:09Oh, my God.
05:39Lewis?
05:46Lewis, where are you?
05:53Terminus?
05:55We're home.
05:58We jump back home.
06:03Lewis?
06:09Stop it.
06:22You saved us.
06:27You wished us home.
06:30You wished us home.
06:31You...
06:41I don't know.
07:37Terminus Control.
07:38This is Salvo Hardin on board the Imperial Warship Invictus.
07:42Do you read me?
07:44Terminus Control.
07:45Do you read me?
07:47This is Salvo Hardin.
07:50Can anybody hear me?
08:11This is Salvo Hardin calling the Thespian Lancers.
08:17The Invictus jumped and we've dragged your ship since we're a quantum wake.
08:23We're in orbit around Terminus.
08:24If you can hear me, I have no idea how to stop this ship from jumping again.
08:33It could be an hour from now.
08:35It could be days.
08:36I figure I'm stuck here unless...
08:40The back air.
09:05How'd you get home?
09:12Take me through your route.
09:13Where does this corridor go?
09:20The underground irrigation system.
09:22There's a path above it you could take.
09:24Through the old palace ruins.
09:26You end up at the servant's exit right next to the palace gates.
09:28So, if I could exit here...
09:30Hyperloop station's just there.
09:32Gate security has DNA scanners.
09:36I'll need the signal tamper.
09:38For my nanobots.
09:39So they can't track me.
09:41I think I can get you one.
09:42I don't want to die in this place.
09:48You won't.
09:51I can't promise it'll all go right.
09:54All I can promise is I won't be the part that goes wrong.
09:59I have to go.
10:00Brother Dusk is...
10:01Cleon.
10:03I wish you had another name.
10:05One that was just yours.
10:08Tomorrow you can give me one.
10:10Give me that signal tamper.
10:21And I'll see you on the other side.
10:30My apologies, Brother Dusk.
10:32I understand.
10:34Time flows differently when you're young.
10:36I, uh...
10:39I want to share something with you.
10:44This is my workplace.
10:46As you know.
10:47The signature task of Dusk is to record our visual history.
10:56The end of the robot wars.
11:00The golden horse rebellion.
11:02Each moment an inflection point for our dynasty when the fate of the galaxy seemed to be hanging in the balance.
11:11As it did here.
11:22When I chastened the barbarian worlds for their acts of savagery.
11:27And even while I was painting it, I was conscious of how we, as its authors, would be representative.
11:35A clever artist provides commentary with his work.
11:43Even something as simple as a, uh, choice of color can convey a hidden meaning.
11:52And sometimes, the moment's not so obvious.
11:58Sometimes it slips past us.
12:01And you don't even realize it until it is past.
12:03Until your debut on the wall is upon you.
12:10I've painted you into our legacy.
12:13Our hunt.
12:26Do you see the three ghilliraptors you shot?
12:33Of course.
12:36I've dreamed of one day doing something, anything worthy enough to be included in this mural.
12:43I don't know why this small feat is...
12:49I'm honored.
12:55I knew you had the greatness of Cleon the first in you.
13:02But during our hunt,
13:05I realized
13:06there was something else inside you as well.
13:13I'll leave you
13:14to reflect on your own glorious moment.
13:18Take your time.
13:21Appreciate the subtleties.
13:23Let's do this.
13:23Please.
13:25Let's do it.
13:33Holy crap.
13:35Let's do it.
13:38I'm so sorry to know.
13:39Let's Sun.
13:42why are you stillונsecretaries?
13:47What do you think is the sleigh over?
13:50What we choose to tell our children and what we censor, what we illuminate and what we
14:12gloss over, history as an act of addition and subtraction.
14:42Empire, you need it in the Principium Tower.
15:03I can't.
15:04I'm busy.
15:05But the dust consists.
15:07I'm indisposed.
15:09I need a minute alone and I'll come along.
15:11One minute.
15:12I am also Empire, you know.
15:14Yes, Empire.
15:16But we both serve.
15:19I forgot something.
15:34I need to go back.
15:37It can wait.
15:39No.
15:40No.
15:41No.
15:42No.
15:43No.
15:44No.
15:45No.
15:46No.
15:47No.
15:48No.
15:49No.
15:50No.
15:51No.
15:52No.
15:53No.
15:54No.
15:55No.
15:56No.
15:57No.
15:58No.
15:59No.
16:00No.
16:01No.
16:02No.
16:03No.
16:04No.
16:05No.
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:08I don't know.
16:38I don't let anything around you.
16:41There's a path you can take through the palace ruins.
16:48You end up at the servant's exit, right next to the palace gates.
16:55This route takes you to the underground irrigation system.
16:59Hyperloop station's just there.
17:08Hyperloop station's just there.
17:23Warning, water cycling imminent.
17:37Warning, water cycling imminent.
17:53Four minutes, that's a long jump.
18:23Go.
18:53Beggar, wake the hell up.
19:12Welcome aboard, Captain Arden.
19:42Welcome aboard, Captain Arden.
20:12Welcome aboard, Captain Arden.
20:42Can you tell me how to get to the Desinean sector on level 33?
21:04Take the Cobalt line down, then transfer to Iruilu.
21:12We want to have inner core.
21:14Beggar, open a channel to Terminus Control.
21:28Communications channel, open.
21:30Terminus Control, this is Salfa Harding.
21:32Come in.
21:35Dammit.
21:36Beggar, scan all frequencies.
21:39Find me anyone on comms.
21:40Scanning.
21:44No active comms detected on the surface of Terminus.
21:47You found someone?
21:56Caution.
21:56Anomalous debris on potential intercept trajectory.
21:59Threat level low.
22:00I need guns.
22:10I need guns.
22:11Where are the guns?
22:13Beggar, show me the guns.
22:16Warning.
22:17Anomalous debris object impact imminent.
22:19Threat level severe.
22:21Warning.
22:21Target locked.
22:23Babe.
22:25Babe, are you there?
22:27Can you go beside you?
22:28You?
22:43That plan works, Sal.
22:48How'd you get here from the belt?
22:49Luck, mostly.
22:52I made contact with Thespin Command.
22:54I rode a shotgun on one of the Lancers.
22:57I could see the Invictus was about to jump.
23:00So I grabbed a sedation stick and knocked myself out for the jump.
23:05I warned the rest of my people to do the same.
23:10I woke up to the dulcet tones of your voice.
23:15I don't understand how you woke up so quickly.
23:18I never went to sleep.
23:19It's like the vault.
23:20I can't explain how or why, but the jump just didn't affect me.
23:24So you got us back to Terminus?
23:25No, that was Lewis.
23:27He died to get us back.
23:29And the Foundation's not responding?
23:32No one is.
23:35Not even the Anacrians Farrell left behind.
23:40It's the gnoll field.
23:42I can feel it, Hugo.
23:47It's...
23:47even bigger.
23:48It's...
23:49even bigger.
23:51It's...
23:51loud Earth, like it's enveloped the whole planet.
23:56I have to stop it.
23:58Are you crazy?
23:58What if they're all dead down there?
24:03What if we just left?
24:05Right now.
24:06We'll make a run for the Red Corridor.
24:08I'll show you Arena 4.
24:09I'll show you Hespers.
24:10I can't, Hugo.
24:11What if there is no solution to this crisis?
24:15What if Seldon got it wrong?
24:16I have to see this through, Hugo.
24:34I have to fix this.
24:36What do you want me to do?
24:48The Invictus is gonna jump again.
24:51Unless your people can disable its drives.
24:53Let it jump, let it take Farrah.
24:54It'll be out of their lives forever.
24:55No.
24:57The Foundation needs that ship.
25:01It's the way beyond the crisis.
25:04I can't tell you how.
25:05I just have a feeling.
25:06I just have a feeling.
25:06You said you have absolute faith in me.
25:20I still believe that.
25:25I'd be kind of a dick if I change my mind now.
25:28Good luck.
25:36I'll see you on the other side.
25:44I'll see you on the other side.
26:06You've lived every moment of your life with people watching you.
26:26The scar's different.
26:28You can lose yourself in it.
26:31For Empire, the scar represents a failure.
26:33For the rest of Trantor, it represents an opportunity.
26:39For the first time in centuries, we can look up and see real clouds.
26:44Real stars.
26:46Not a simulation run by servers designed to keep us complacent.
27:01I live on level 33.
27:04In the Desnian sector.
27:09Tertia makes the best spice markers on the planet.
27:17This is the corridor I take home.
27:23It's nothing like your palace.
27:26It's chaotic.
27:28It's crowded.
27:28It's crowded.
27:28But it's alive.
27:41And it's waiting for you.
27:43I couldn't wait.
28:06You're not wearing your aura.
28:33I traded it for this.
28:38So I wouldn't be recognized.
28:42The jacket's smart.
28:45Now we can burn it.
28:46We need to get my nanobots removed in case they're tracking me.
29:03I probably shouldn't even stay here.
29:08It's okay.
29:09I got the signal damper.
29:11That'll cover you until we can arrange.
29:13I'm late.
29:20Hey.
29:21The hardest part's over.
29:22you got away from them
29:30you're here
29:33but truthfully
29:42you still smell terrible
29:45why don't you shower
29:50hey
30:20I was thinking about a new name for me
30:22Azura
30:29what is that for
30:42what is that for
30:58Oh, my God.
31:28Oh, my God.
31:58Oh, my God.
32:28A wise man once said, a people without history is like a tree without roots.
32:36What's missing from the wise man's history?
32:42When did story replace record?
32:44When all the facts fall short of believability, fantasy feels reassuringly solid.
32:55And since this is my history, I get to decide which parts have been subtracted, which have been added.
33:04What?
33:05What?
33:06What?
33:10Let's go.
33:40Let's go.
34:10Let's go.
34:40Let's go.
35:10Let's go.
35:40Let's go.
35:42Let's go.
35:44Let's go.
35:46Let's go.
35:48Let's go.
35:50Let's go.
35:52Let's go.
35:54Let's go.
35:56Let's go.
36:00Let's go.
36:02Let's go.
36:08Can you make anything of it?
36:10Let's go.
36:16Let's go.
36:18Let's go.
36:20Let's go.
36:26Let's go.
36:28Let's go.
36:30Let's go.
36:34Let's go.
36:40Let's go.
36:42Let's go.
36:44Let's go.
36:50Let's go.
36:52Let's go.
36:54Let's go.
36:56Let's go.
37:06Let's go.
37:08Let's go.
37:10Let's go.
37:12Let's go.
37:14Let's go.
37:16Let's go.
37:18Let's go.
37:28Let's go.
37:30Let's go.
37:32Salva.
37:33If you were part of the plan, it would make it a lot easier for me to believe in all this.
37:37Believe in all this.
37:52How long did it take you to trigger the Prime Radiant?
37:57Cut it on the second try.
38:15History is the ultimate weapon because it harnesses time itself.
38:20Used correctly, the past can alter the present.
38:25What other invention can do that?
38:55What other invention can do?
39:07What other invention can do that?
39:10Sala? Mom?
39:31I thought I'd never see you again.
39:33Me too.
39:33The landfield, it stopped.
39:56Did you do this?
40:03Is that a door?
40:12I think so.
40:14So what now?
40:18Now is where it ends.
40:19I think so.
40:32Alnuvius Sorduius, Nisiela Ti, Saochi, Siva, Terminuia Askes Velosum Decytirus, Obsidian Kalan Arcosa De Ganaise De Oscar.
40:46Komunietikal Oskayat.
40:49Votespie Komidat, Istayirif El Lain Shsefiniedi Adra.
40:56Which one of you is this ship slave to?
41:02Slave this ship to Farrakain, or you die too.
41:09Arcos, invoke protocol. Ship transfer, Farrakain.
41:26Heart rate's rising.
41:27I guess the 120, then the bottom is a crisis moment.
41:32I'll increase the inhibitors.
41:34The pulse is stabilizing.
41:36I'll increase the inhibitors.
41:38The pulse is stabilizing.
41:41The pulse is stabilizing.
41:45Start the transfer now.
41:47Oh, my God.
42:17We're transferring your nanobots into my blood.
42:28That's what you wanted, isn't it?
42:31To have them removed?
42:33Who are you?
42:34The Dawn clone.
42:36Obviously.
42:37Superficially identical to you.
42:41But how are you here?
42:45Instead of floating in an aquarium.
42:48Our people managed to smuggle some of Cleon the first DNA out of the palace.
42:53We've been working towards this day for decades.
42:55You surprised us.
42:57We planned to have you escape tomorrow.
43:00Where is Azura?
43:00This was our trap.
43:16How could you do this to me?
43:19You.
43:21This is about the rest of the galaxy.
43:23All the planets and people who've been crushed under the Empire's heel.
43:26It's not his fault.
43:29It's how he was raised.
43:32He and his brothers have always been told they are the light that never dims.
43:37An unbroken chain.
43:40Reality just doesn't penetrate their little terrarium.
43:44I don't know how you're going to stomach it.
43:47I'll be fine.
43:47I've been practicing my role long enough.
43:51The cloistered little tyrant in the making.
43:57Projecting that subtle air of self-pitying, arrogant indifference.
44:05Practicing?
44:06What are you talking about?
44:10Practicing?
44:11What are you talking about?
44:14I'm an understudy Dawn.
44:16And now it's time for me to take center stage.
44:19I'm going to go back to the palace.
44:23And I'm going to be you.
44:26They'll just kill you then.
44:27They know I'm different.
44:29Right.
44:30But...
44:31I'm not.
44:34I'm not colorblind.
44:35I'm not left-handed.
44:38I'm genetically identical to Cleon I.
44:43And I can prove it.
44:45I don't understand.
44:48How can you feel identical to the first and I'm not?
44:51Magnetic nanoparticle transfection is the technical term.
44:55It's all a little over my head, but basically they altered your DNA after the fact.
45:00Like I said, this has been planned since before.
45:02You or I took our first breath.
45:04Now people knew they had to get you out of the palace, but they couldn't just take you.
45:10That would have been too risky.
45:12They had to make it so you'd choose to leave.
45:15You needed a motive to run.
45:18What better motive than survival?
45:24We're the ones who made you different.
45:27Empire.
45:27In a certain way, you're lucky, too.
45:32Genetic dynasties and a front to humanity.
45:35You're no longer part of it.
45:38You never really were.
45:41The trance was complete.
45:42You had no choice in any of this.
45:59But thank you, just the same.
46:15Get him up.
46:31What are you going to do to me?
46:33What do you think, Cleon?
46:34Let's do it this way.
47:01Let's do it this way.
47:01Umpire.
47:22Brother Dusk.
47:26I'm so grateful.
47:31I want a full memory audit of all the dead.
47:34And the girl?
47:36The girl.
47:38Yes.
47:42Quite a performance.
47:46It was a pleasure to observe it.
47:50Tailored though it was to the young and foolish.
47:53You didn't really think we'd let this drone leave the palace without alerting us, did you?
48:08We followed your whole enticing travelogue home, my dear.
48:13You let him get away, so he would lead you to us.
48:24Shroud her.
48:24You got what you wanted, then?
48:47Never presumed to understand what I want.
48:56You are stupid.
48:59Naive.
49:00Gullible.
49:01So was I at your age.
49:03And these things are forgivable.
49:05But the matter of your...
49:08difference...
49:10That's rather more complicated.
49:12But you must have heard them.
49:15I'm a victim.
49:17We all are.
49:18Yes.
49:19And that makes you the embodiment of our vulnerability.
49:24An ugly reminder of the knife age upon which our genetic dynasty is balanced.
49:31By what logic would we want to look on your face ever again?
49:36My face.
49:41My face is your face.
49:44Forget logic.
49:47Try empathy.
49:48Empathy.
49:57Wait, wait, wait.
49:59Surely it's not up to you.
50:01It's up to Day.
50:03True.
50:04Brother Day will be home soon.
50:07You could plead your case to him.
50:10I doubt his experience on the maiden has made him serene.
50:25Morden!
50:25You made it back!
50:27Keep your distance, you two!
50:29But everyone's waking up.
50:30It's over.
50:31It's not over.
50:33It's now the wait.
50:33Don't go in there.
50:34I have to, Mom.
50:37You will not.
50:38Step away.
50:40You said this wasn't a trick.
50:42But you didn't know what this was.
50:43We don't.
50:44And yet your daughter has tamed it.
50:46How do you explain that?
50:47It'sって they've had the last day.
50:59And yet your daughter has had the last.
51:00What is that thing?
52:00Where is our Huntress?
52:05She lost control of the Invictus.
52:08Your plans for Martyrdom, for Trantor, they're done.
52:13Done?
52:13The real gods have forsaken us.
52:17The real gods have forsaken us.
52:47You're hammered shit.
52:48The real gods have forsaken us.
53:02Well, isn't this a pretty picture?
53:07Enemies old and new, conveniently gathered in one place.
53:16Drop your weapons and unbind him.
53:19And you, warden, don't even think about flashing that coin of yours.
53:32I'm glad you're alive, Farrah.
53:35Truly.
53:37I need you to hear this.
53:38The last thing I'm interested in hearing is more words from you.
53:42Farrah, please.
53:43The jump induces psychosis.
53:45You're not thinking straight.
53:46I'm thinking just fine.
53:47Also aiming.
53:56Look, if you don't like what I have to say, you can kill me when I'm done.
54:02You can kill all of us.
54:03I will.
54:06That ship is the most powerful weapon your people will ever get their hands on.
54:15If that's the case, why destroy it?
54:19Why not use it for leverage?
54:21How?
54:22We band together.
54:24All three worlds.
54:25Stop moving!
54:26We can share the Invictus.
54:32We can repair it.
54:34Together.
54:36All we have to do is let our logic speak louder than our emotions.
54:46Farrah, stop.
54:49You.
54:51Take up arms against your own hunters.
54:54The hunt is over, Farrah.
55:10Farrah, stop!
55:11Come on!
55:12Come on!
55:12Come on!
55:41She's gone.
55:51Drop it.
56:11Well, this is encouraging. Anachryons, Thespans, and Termini. Seeing you all gathered here gives me hope.
56:25We might actually pull this off.
56:41We might actually pull this off.
57:11We might actually pull this off.
