00:00Previously on Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:27I read that the Enar have a form of precognitive ability
00:30I knew you were going to ask that
00:32Hammer may not be able to see, but his other senses compensate
00:34You're keeping something in the pattern buffer
00:37Okay, yeah, my daughter
00:39A year ago, she was diagnosed with cytokine
00:41Story time?
00:44Is that...
00:45You've read this like a hundred times
00:47Well, that doesn't mean that the ending could have miraculously changed
00:50Chief Medical Officer's personal log
00:58Stardate 2341.6
01:02We Enterprises conduct in a routine survey of the Genesian Nebula
01:07There isn't a great deal for sickbay to do
01:10So I've been continuing my own research
01:13The patient's condition has not improved
01:16Months have become days and have become hours
01:19Every minute has become invaluable
01:22She has so little time left
01:24Daddy
01:26Finish the story
01:28I like it when you read the ending
01:31You need to go back in, Rukia
01:34Just finish it with me
01:36Please
01:37King Ridley scanned the battlefield as Queen Neve's forces approached the border of his kingdom
01:50Things were dark
01:53The King's Chamberlain
01:55Saroth
01:56Had turned against them
01:58Their only ally
02:00Princess Talia
02:03Had fallen to the evil queen
02:06And now King Ridley was gravely outnumbered
02:08I hate this part
02:10But you wanted me to read it to you
02:13I know
02:14It's just
02:15I always wish the Huntress would come along and help
02:17You know, like get together with Sir Adia and rescue the king
02:21But that's not what happens
02:22King Ridley is forced to choose
02:25Give up his greatest weapon
02:28The Mercury Stone
02:29Or rescue Princess Talia
02:31I know
02:32But what if we could change the ending?
02:45Someday
02:46When you're a grown-up
02:48You'll write your own stories
02:51And you can have any engine you like
02:54But I have to get better first
02:56Right?
02:58Yes
02:59When I'm better
03:02Can I see your quarters?
03:05I'll take you to see the whole shit
03:07I love you, Daddy
03:12I love you too
03:15Always
03:19Good night
03:45Chemical 3QMD contained
04:14Doctor, the shuttle crew landed several hours ago
04:25Is there a reason they haven't been cleared for active duty yet?
04:28I'm sorry
04:29I must have gotten a little lost in my research
04:32I'll get right to it
04:35Are you getting any closer?
04:38No
04:38The last thing I tried to literally blow up in my face
04:42Maybe you're pushing yourself too hard
04:44Rukia has been living in that transport for too long
04:49Much longer than I anticipated
04:52And even so
04:54The time is now running out
04:57There has to be a cure
04:59I just need to find it
05:02I sympathize with your duties as a father
05:08But I also have to remind you of your duties as our chief medical officer
05:13I'm distinct, Commander
05:15I will ensure that the London parts is cleared for duty immediately
05:21But first, why don't you get some rest?
05:23You can see to the landing party when you're feeling better
05:25I'm fine
05:26Take it as an order then, Doctor
05:27The crew isn't going anywhere
05:30And neither is Rukia
05:32Thank you, Honor
05:40Kaderahura informs me that all data buoys have been retrieved
05:53And with that, our survey of the nebula appears to be complete
05:56I can get used to this
05:59Sir?
06:01This
06:02No battles, no chaos
06:05Just scanning a nebula and focusing on the science
06:08Nice change of pace, wouldn't you agree?
06:11Captain, you have repeatedly told me that humans have a superstition
06:15Against calling attention to good things by saying them out loud
06:18Why, Mr. Spock
06:20I never took you for the superstitious time
06:23Hmm
06:25Erica
06:26Set a course for McNair Starbase
06:29Drinks are on me
06:31Course set and ready for warp
06:34On your mark, sir
06:35You gonna say the thing?
06:39Hit it
06:46I said hit it
06:47I'm hitting it, Captain, but we're not moving
06:52Mitchell, what's going on with my ship?
06:54All systems are in the green, sir, but we're frozen in place
06:57Mr. Spock
06:58Scans indicate a minor secretron flux emanating from inside the nebula
07:01Perhaps that has affected our warp capabilities
07:04Or
07:05Or
07:06Perhaps you did indeed jinx it
07:09Let's hope that's all we have to worry about, Mr. Spock
07:12Piked engineering
07:13You still got a warp core down there?
07:15Despite our lack of motion, the warp core seems to be functioning within normal parameters
07:19Perhaps the nebula has merely affected our ability to achieve a static warp bubble
07:22Suggest we engage impulse thrusters until we are clear of its gravitational influence
07:26I concur with Mr. Spock's plan
07:29Great, let's do it
07:31Transferring power to impulse
07:32Ortegas
07:34Get us out of here
07:35Kissing this nebula goodbye
07:38Take two
07:40Bridge and Dr. Mbenga
07:49Emergency
07:49Lieutenant Ortegas is injured
07:51On my way, Captain
07:52Bridge
07:55I'll ask you
08:18Hi
08:19Move
08:20All hail
08:28The king
08:30The king
08:31What the hell
08:37Space
08:44The final frontier
08:48These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
08:53Its five-year mission
08:57To explore strange new worlds
09:00To seek out new life
09:05And new civilizations
09:08To boldly go
09:11Where no one has gone before
09:13To boldly go
11:01It's just, you're all dressed up like characters from the book I've been reading to mine.
11:06Well, what take is this, Sir Adia?
11:13And you are clearly Sir Amandroth.
11:16Your loyal chamberman.
11:19Was this your idea?
11:24My idea to what, sire?
11:29Perhaps it would be best if you took a seat, King Ridley.
11:33Maybe I should sit.
11:39Perhaps your highness's parched a sip of wine would refresh you.
11:43What are you doing?
11:44I'm just trying to help our poor, tired king.
11:48Where did the wine come from, Roth?
11:50Let's see.
11:51It came from beside the carafe.
11:52It is my sworn duty to tend to the king's well-being.
11:57He shall drink nothing I have not tasted first.
12:01And as Chamberlain, the king's health is my greatest concern.
12:04Your words could polish the finest of apples, Sir Roth.
12:09Perhaps they are better suited.
12:11Ow.
12:12To the kitchen.
12:14I need a moment.
12:15Computer, are you registering any abnormal readings on the bridge?
12:20Computer.
12:21He obviously means the Oracle.
12:24Computer.
12:24The explosion.
12:38Perhaps the Freaky Wendy is causing me to hallucinate.
12:42I need to get to sickbay.
12:44To sickbay!
12:45Sorry, your highness, where is this bay?
12:47And ooh, do I need to commandeer a ship?
12:49I knew this dreadful fog was a bad omen as soon as it appeared.
12:55Fog?
12:56What fog?
12:58A mysterious, smoky wall.
13:02It has engulfed the entire kingdom, Sir.
13:05Poisonous air.
13:07I wager it's a curse sent by Queen Nev.
13:11Sorcery is a coward's weapon.
13:13Give me a clean kill by sword any day.
13:17Really?
13:19Where are you going, sire?
13:21I'm going to get a medical...
13:23A magical device called the tricorder.
13:29It will give me some answers.
13:32Just stay here.
13:34Both of you.
13:34My king, my liege.
13:57My king, my liege.
13:59It is wonderful to see you, King Ridley.
14:12What brings you to my sanctuary?
14:17I'm looking for this.
14:20Some sort of...
14:22healing stuff?
14:23It's readings indicate I'm perfectly healthy.
14:28Readings?
14:31Allow me to examine you.
14:33So much pain.
14:47It weighs down your spirit.
14:49You should have come to me sooner.
14:50And what does your device say of me?
14:59It seems your dopamine levels are highly elevated.
15:02Dopamine.
15:06My king, I know you said not to follow,
15:09but Princess Talia insisted.
15:12My dear, brave King Ridley.
15:27I'm so grateful to have finally found you.
15:30Queen Neve has invaded my kingdom.
15:34She's obsessed with the mercury stove.
15:36She thinks I have it.
15:37Her crimson guard captured my throne
15:40and imprisoned my subjects.
15:42I mean, I scarcely escape with my life,
15:43not to mention my poor little wonder.
15:47Isn't it very...
15:48That's, uh...
15:48That is terrible.
15:50I know you have the mercury stone
15:53safely in your keeping.
15:58I...
15:58Sure.
16:03Yes.
16:06The stone is safe.
16:09Heed me.
16:10If you do not harness the stone's powers
16:12to capture and stop Queen Neve,
16:15she will have all of us in chains.
16:18Your kingdom will fall as mine has.
16:23Uh, what is this?
16:26This does not look like the mercury stone.
16:29You're very perceptive.
16:31It is not.
16:32You have another weapon
16:40in your mighty arsenal.
16:41Oh, Brutus Queen Neve
16:43stands near your chance, Runa, does she?
16:46My princess Runa applauds you.
16:51What are her dopamine levels?
16:57Also higher than normal.
17:00Is that bad?
17:01Is it good?
17:03It's curious.
17:05It's a sign of heightened neurological activity.
17:09My king,
17:10the princess is right.
17:12If you are not prepared
17:13to use the power of the stone,
17:15then allow me
17:16to lead an attack
17:18against the Crimson Guard.
17:20Their heads will...
17:22perhaps we could refrain from any unnecessary head jumping.
17:27Oh, that's disappointing.
17:29Lieutenant Mitchell,
17:30take your hands off me.
17:32I'm your superior officer.
17:35The Crimson Guard.
17:36Let me go.
17:38I'll have you court-martialed.
17:40Silence.
17:41Did you think your crimes would go unpunished, wizard?
17:43I'm not a wizard.
17:44I'm not a wizard.
17:45I'm the chief engineer.
17:46You wear a wizard's robes.
17:48This is absurd.
17:49I don't know where these came from.
17:50They disappeared.
17:51Proof of your powers, wizard.
17:54Help!
17:54To your dark deeds,
17:56accursed Crimson Guard.
17:59Pure hour of cruelty
18:00is at an end.
18:02For King Ridley is here
18:04to strike fear
18:05in your evil heart.
18:10Um...
18:11Release Castor the Wizard at once.
18:21We don't answer to you,
18:23false king.
18:23Unless
18:24you're here to surrender
18:26the Mercury Stone.
18:28But what about
18:29the Letter of Accords?
18:31Are not Lady Audrey's woods
18:33neutral territory
18:34by royal agreement?
18:36You have no right here.
18:39The king speaks the truth.
18:41Queen Nev
18:42no longer acknowledges
18:44the Letter of Accords.
18:45These
18:46are now her woods,
18:48and it won't be long
18:49before your kingdom
18:49is hers, too.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:56Hold it.
18:59Hammer,
19:00please help me.
19:01Everyone else
19:02who lost their mind.
19:03my king perhaps it is time to unleash the stones power I don't actually have
19:14to start what but I know who might that wizard
19:19castor he knows where it is we must rescue him
19:27absolutely good plan fantastic queen meb will be keeping wizard castor here in the deepest part of
19:38her dungeon at the center of her realm surrounded by her most powerful forces and weapons my good
19:46king you must go you will surely fall victim to her most terrible magics the princess is shrewd as
19:53always staging a rescue would be unwise diplomacy might be more prudent I'm sorry but we need the
20:02mercury stone and it's hard to hear over the sound of your trembling boots that's enough
20:07we're going to try diplomacy if that doesn't work then you can cut something in half
20:15thank you sir starfall is thirsty ridiculous name for sword you're ridiculous you're both
20:22going to escort me to queen neve with as little bickering as possible please
20:29and what it mean my lord and runa she should stay here and um you should stay to protect her
20:40oh a wise plan my king we shall await your return
20:46and if you should fall in battle i will sing an epic song
20:55great okay let's go i think i might be more useful or stay on that all right
21:23this forest is full of crimson banners queen neve grows more brazen by the day
21:29we are not alone

22:19simply marching in there and taking him
22:21the swamp of infinite death
22:24oh that is not a good swamp
22:26alas the only way to her kingdom takes you straight through it
22:30oh you'll turn back then
22:32yes
22:33i would die infinite deaths to no longer use your planet
22:36are you sure pollux
22:39that there is no way for you to help us
22:43why should i help you
22:44because castor is your brother
22:47he is
22:48i had no idea
22:49how did you know
22:51i read it in a book
22:52and you would
22:54help castor
22:56not merely use him for his power
22:58if you lead us through the swamp
23:00i promise to free him
23:03i shall aid you then
23:10there is a way around the swamp
23:12a secret way
23:13a dark way

23:37but that's okay
23:39this is still the only way to get to castor
23:42if you say so sire
24:03welcome to my kingdom
24:13now
24:14kneel before me
24:16yes of course
24:18my king
24:21we have been led into a trap
24:23and i suspected as much
24:25you knew
24:27loosely
24:29in any case i knew queen neve should be entering the story right about now
24:34and i knew i should have stayed in the castle
24:36it's always safer at home
24:38welcome king ridley
24:41now
24:43where is the mercury stone
24:46it could be anywhere
24:49really
24:50fine
24:54well let my torturers drag its location out of you then
24:57they love their work
24:59they're very
25:00thorough
25:02they look everywhere
25:05i promise you'll be compensated well for your loyalty sorcerer
25:11thank you queen neve
25:13you wanted to see my brother
25:15now you can join me
25:18in the dungeon
25:20i can't take it anymore i tell you
25:31the walls
25:33the walls are starting to close in on me
25:36hammer
25:37am i glad to see you
25:38are we the only two crew members who are unaffected
25:41they told her pso
25:42did you have any idea why everyone's acting so strangely
25:44they're all playing characters from a children's book called the end
25:48elysian kingdom
25:49children's book
25:50how do you know this
25:51because i read it to my daughter
25:53and it's a long story
25:55the important question to ask is why you and i aren't affected
25:59and why they are
26:01i thought the important question is
26:04where is the mercury stone
26:06stone
26:08it's a weapon
26:09which is fictional
26:10from the book
26:12where is this weapon
26:13well in the book
26:15castor helps king ridley to find it
26:17i have no idea how to find it
26:19i know
26:20i came to rescue you
26:21because you're the only other person unaffected
26:23which means
26:24you can help solve the real problem
26:26how do we undo all of this
26:28where were you when it started
26:30in engineering
26:32i had just checked the warp engines and i suddenly felt
26:35i don't know
26:37a consciousness
26:38pressed against my own
26:40luckily my years of telepathic training allowed me to block it
26:43consciousness
26:44coming from where
26:46i didn't have time to figure it out
26:48i assume i'm able to keep my memories because of my telepathic abilities
26:52have you considered doctor
26:54the entity i sensed might have pulled the story from your mind
26:57but why
26:58impossible to know without asking
27:01emmer
27:02do you think you can make contact with this entity again
27:07contact with it is unpleasant
27:09that's why i blocked it
27:10it felt as if my brain were being squeezed through my nose
27:14i did that to a man once
27:16i was however
27:18able to sense that the entity is not on another ship
27:21but rather a part of the nebula itself
27:23do you think if we access the ship scanner array
27:26we can learn more about this entity
27:28it's quite possible
27:29engineering is close by
27:31i can control the ship systems from there
27:33we have to find a way out of here first
27:35and fast
27:36maybe i can get us out of here with
27:38the help of some powerful magic called science
27:41what would a human magician say
27:52abracadabra
27:53abracadabra
27:54i like it
27:56don't look it'll blind you
27:58what about you
27:59i am a wizard
28:01oh thank goodness
28:15oh
28:16not bad wizard
28:25i like this
28:28science
28:30what do you mean that the prisoners have escaped
28:43the wizard
28:44conjured his way out of the cell
28:47and yet you stand here
28:48cowering
28:50instead of going after them
28:52i was about to
28:53you were about to
28:55you were about
28:58to lose your head
29:00be grateful
29:03your queen is feeling merciful today
29:05i will give you another chance
29:08to earn my favor
29:09pollux
29:14would you be so kind
29:16as to take my crimson guard
29:17and bring back
29:18my prisoners
29:19before i toss you in the dungeon
29:21in their place
29:22as you wish my leash
29:24once inside
29:37i can block the door
29:38that should give us time to access the ship's scanner array
29:41and what ship pray tell
29:43are you speaking of
29:44spark
29:46pollux
29:48get out of our way

31:33been a busy time
31:34a raven would be too much trouble
31:36can we not do this now
31:38i saved your life
31:39that's something right
31:39as grateful as i am for whatever this is
31:43we really should be hurrying on to engineering
31:45yes
31:46we should put an end to this fantasy
31:48before someone seriously gets hurt
31:51this is
31:53this is most unusual
31:54this is most unusual
31:54when i scan the nebula
31:56i find evidence of a single life form
31:58including brain activity
32:00and yet
32:00there is no sign
32:02of a physical body
32:03a consciousness
32:05a consciousness without a body
32:06a consciousness without a body
32:06floating in space
32:08with a power to create a new reality
32:12sounds almost like you're describing a god
32:15doctor
32:17are you familiar with the theory of the boltzman brain
32:21i recall learning something about it in university
32:24a boltzman brain is a theoretical spontaneously generated consciousness
32:29and maybe
32:31we have just encountered one
32:33so one day
32:36out of nothing
32:39an all-powerful being just
32:42appears
32:44and this consciousness has somehow trapped our ship
32:49in the nebula
32:50and turned the crew into characters from a book i've read
32:53at least it made you the hero
32:55let's say you're right
32:59how do we get it to stop
33:01because until we do
33:03we are stuck here
33:05perhaps you are the problem
33:07it's recreating a story you read
33:11it is possible the entity is reading your brainwaves
33:13if we can find a way to sever that connection
33:17like by hurting you
33:18the entity might let the enterprise go
33:21you dare to threaten my king
33:23stand down adia
33:25i can shoot him with an arrow if that helps
33:27i don't really understand what's going on
33:31i thought the point was to hurt the king
33:33what's wrong with you
33:34i have sworn an oath to protect him
33:36you'll just never understand that will you
33:38i am huntress of the forest
33:40i swore my allegiance to no one but her
33:43you know that
33:44sometimes i wonder if we have anything in common
33:47perhaps it is your differences which drew you together
33:50hold on a second
33:53something's wrong here
33:56majesty
33:57this is not how the story goes
34:00the two of you
34:02adia zaymira
34:03you don't even know each other
34:05not to contradict you but
34:07we know each other
34:08quite
34:09quite well
34:10quite well
34:12but you're not supposed to
34:15the two of you never actually meet in the book
34:19except
34:23rukia
34:24rukia
34:27is she a character
34:29she's my daughter
34:30she has always hated how the story ended
34:36she wanted sir adia and zamira to team up
34:39i told her when she grew up she could
34:42become a writer and give herself the ending she wanted
34:45are you suggesting
34:46the entity did not take the story from you
34:49but rather from your daughter
34:50where is rukia
34:56she's gone
35:18she was beamed out of the buffer at 0845 hours this morning
35:40to
35:42somewhere on the ship
35:44but you won't give me her exact location
35:48that's very odd
35:50hammer
35:51my daughter is very sick
35:54the longer she stays out of the buffer
35:57the faster her illness will progress
36:00she's dying
36:02i'm so sorry doctor
36:04let me help
36:06we have to find her
36:10i'm starting to think she might be the only one who can put an end to all this
36:14the mercury stone is a girl
36:26if this is true
36:37i shall take her from him
36:39and make her my own
36:41how will you do that my leash
36:44no no no no no
36:48unhand me you bring
36:50ow
36:51no no no no no no no
36:52i'm too young to die
36:54please
36:57i beg you
36:59spare me
37:00whether you live or die
37:05depends entirely on you
37:07sarah
37:08what do you want from me
37:10your loyalty
37:13oh
37:19forest calls
37:43damn it
37:52doctor
37:54i take it you've had no luck finding her
37:58no
38:00i have not
38:02someone
38:04something
38:08took her out of the buffer and hid her
38:12perhaps
38:13perhaps
38:13we are thinking of this
38:14the wrong way
38:15where would your daughter want to go
38:18her quarters are down here
38:24okay you always said she wanted to see them
38:27your majesty i am so glad to see you alive and safe
38:30no thanks to your cowardice
38:33i lament
38:34i am not a fighter
38:36but what purpose would my death have served if it merely led to king ridley's downfall
38:41oh you would worm your way out of anything wouldn't you
38:43please
38:44now is not the time to fight
38:46we need to get into my quarters right away
38:49open
38:53i am sorry manish
39:05did you really think i was going to let you destroy everything i worked for king ridley
39:20i should have known you would betray us roth
39:30truthfully i should have known it as well
39:34since that's what he does in the book
39:37don't beat yourself up about it
39:40i am sorry your majesty but she promised me your kingdom and who could turn that down
39:45all right
39:47as you were not willing to bend to my will
39:50i found someone who would
39:52give up dear brother
39:53your powers are no match for mine
39:55there is no reason you have to die
39:57pollux is right
39:59all i want is king ridley's secret weapon
40:04this so-called mercury stone
40:08the girl in his quarters
40:11let us have her and i'll let you and castor live
40:14you shall not touch my daughter
40:19or i will bring the might of my kingdom down upon your heads
40:24he's right queen nev
40:27turn away now
40:33or i'll unleash the full power of my powerful wizard
40:39powers
40:41i'll
40:46uh i'll i'll send you to the event horizon
40:51a dark realm for chaos and monsters and
40:55there is no such place my queen is bluffing
41:00what are you doing
41:10what are you doing
41:10what are you doing
41:13nice wizard powers
41:26i found this in sickbay
41:27we synced it to trigger the transporter there in cargo bay 12
41:31once again
41:32the magic of science prevails
41:36too much
41:38i know
41:40so adya
41:41guard my quarters
41:42with my life sire
41:47daddy

42:36i can see you daddy
42:38you did such a good job
42:39did you have fun
42:40i did
42:42but it's time to stop playing

42:48why
42:49my friend said we could play as long as i want
42:51your friend doesn't mean to
42:53but she's hurting my friends
42:56they need to return to their lives
42:59do i have to go back into the buffer daddy
43:01i don't know

43:09rukia
43:13can i talk to your friend
43:16it doesn't really work that way
43:19perhaps
43:20i could be of some assistance
43:24you said if you tried to connect under consciousness again it could kill you
43:30i know
43:31but
43:32maybe if rukia told her friend we need to talk
43:35the entity might be more inclined to cooperate
43:38they'd like to talk to you if that's okay
43:44if you would like
43:47you may speak through me
43:48please be gentle
43:51you must not take the child
44:01we don't mean you any harm
44:06but i need you to stop this fantasy
44:08you're putting my crew in danger
44:11dreams of your crew are inconsequential
44:14you must protect the child
44:16you have an attachment to rukia
44:19who you are like
44:20she was lonely
44:22you like me
44:25lonely
44:28how did you know
44:31when i probed your ship
44:33i felt her imprisoned in your machine
44:36i sensed her loneliness
44:38it matched my own
44:40i created this world for her
44:43to give her a piece of her childhood
44:46you didn't allow
44:47i was trying to protect her
44:50everything i did was to keep my daughter alive
44:53i was looking for a cure
44:56but i'm all better now daddy
44:58and i thank you for that
45:00but whatever you are doing
45:03to create this fantasy
45:05the crew cannot live like this

45:11the child will die
45:13my being here cures her
45:16if i release this ship
45:18and the child goes with you
45:20she will grow sick again
45:22the ship cannot stay here
45:24then you must make a choice
45:26the crew or your daughter
45:29you can't ask me to do that
45:32i had fun out here
45:34but i'll go back into the buffer
45:37if you want me to daddy
45:38there must be another way
45:42there is
45:44you could leave
45:45and she could stay
45:47how would she live?
45:51it is her body that is ill
45:53but her consciousness could join with me
45:56she would be free of sickness
45:59she will never know dead
46:02daddy?

48:36Rokia?
48:51Hello, Daddy.
48:54Thank you for everything.
48:58You were right.
48:59I've been creating my own adventures.
49:02I wish I could tell you what I've seen.
49:04I've seen you just left.
49:08Moments for you have been years for me and Debra.
49:12Debra, you named the entity after.
49:17Mom.
49:17Mom.
49:17You look so much like him.
49:35Do I?
49:35I'm happy.
49:41I'm safe.
49:43You did the right thing.
49:46Someday we'll see each other again.
49:48I know we will.
49:49But you have to live your own life now.
49:53Create your own stories.
49:56Promise me you'll be happy.
49:57I promise.
50:01I promise.
50:17I have the worst headache.
50:24Doctor, am I in your quarters?
50:32You don't remember?
50:34The last thing I recall is becoming stuck in the Joanesian Nebula.
50:42Oh.
50:42Chief Medical Officer's personal log.
50:47Supplemental.
50:48None of the crew remember what happened.
50:50The entity's doing.
50:52My daughter's doing.
50:53I'm sure.
50:55The surveillance logs are blank.
50:57It's as if every one of them lost five hours.
51:00Except for me.
51:02Joseph?
51:02Joseph?
51:02Joseph?
51:02Joseph?
51:12Rukia?
51:14She's fine.
51:17She's alive.
51:22She's safe.
51:25Matula.
51:27I have been through something...
51:30extraordinary.
51:33And no one on the ship remembers.
51:34You know what happened in the missing five hours.
51:45Sounds like a hell of a story.
51:48It is.
51:52It begins.
51:54Like all good stories.
51:57Once upon a time.
51:59One on the ship.
