Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You
00:00:25Previously on Star Trek strange new worlds all my life. I've hated augments
00:00:29The damage they did they almost destroyed earth. You have a very unique last name. Do you have any relation to khan nun yin sing?
00:00:37Yes, you're an abomination an augment. That's what the other kids call me when they heard my name augment monster
00:00:43Genetics is not destiny despite what you may have been taught. You're not born a monster
00:00:49You were just born with the capacity for actions good or ill
00:00:53I
00:00:56Security officers log stardate 15 81.2
00:00:59Nobody told me when I took this assignment just how many friends it would make for me
00:01:03The ring was a gift from my matriarch. The transporter buffer doesn't steal from people
00:01:08That's enough. Thank you. It is a well-known fact that people love it when you bring them bad news
00:01:14May I inquire as to who filed this noise complaint against me. It was anonymous
00:01:18I shall make every effort to practice less vigorously going forward
00:01:27And quite frankly who doesn't find having their belongings searched endearing by suspicious provenance?
00:01:33You're implying that I stole these artifacts property of the archaeology department
00:01:39I used to work there, didn't I? So this is all above board
00:01:45Once you have lived through every natural disaster
00:01:49And economic calamity in human history without becoming a pack rat
00:01:55Then you can judge me
00:01:57I still have a bunker in vermont where I used to live in case this whole
00:02:02No money socialist utopia thing turns out to be a fad
00:02:10Yes, well, and that's a fake so you can tell the Louvre to stop calling me
00:02:16You can take it up with captain pike
00:02:18Easy
00:02:25You're going to take my head off
00:02:27You're going to take my head off
00:02:28You're not here as my physician
00:02:42Well, as your sparring partner
00:02:44I'd advise you talk to your physician. Maybe he could help
00:02:46I don't need to talk here. I don't need to be medicated
00:02:48You didn't come to the party for a owner at the captain's quarters
00:03:06What was that?
00:03:07I simply used your energy against you
00:03:14Trying to bear all of this by yourself
00:03:16It's got to be
00:03:18What?
00:03:19Lonely
00:03:22It doesn't need to be
00:03:23I'll see you tomorrow
00:03:35Attention 2-4
00:03:37Attention Bay 2-4
00:03:38Maintain
00:03:39Who are you? How did you get aboard?
00:03:55Help
00:03:55Help
00:04:02That's not from a phaser
00:04:03It's from a bullet
00:04:05There's been an attack
00:04:07In the past
00:04:09You have to stop it
00:04:11You need to get
00:04:25To the bridge
00:04:41To the bridge
00:04:43Captain
00:04:43I need to
00:04:47Talk to you
00:04:49Ma'am
00:04:50Not to be impolite
00:04:51But
00:04:52Who are you?
00:04:52And what the hell are you doing on my ship?
00:05:02Space
00:05:04The final frontier
00:05:06These are the voyages of the starship enterprise
00:05:14It's five-year mission
00:05:16To explore strange new worlds
00:05:21To seek out new life
00:05:24And new civilizations
00:05:28To boldly go where no one has gone before
00:05:36To be continued...
00:07:35Captain, I think it's best we have a discussion in private.
00:07:49So you're telling me that there's an alternate timeline where I'm not the captain of this ship?
00:07:58All I know is that ten minutes ago, I was on my ship with my captain, and now I'm here.
00:08:02And everything's changed?
00:08:04Yes.
00:08:06Our scientists have theorized that such a thing could be possible.
00:08:08A far simpler explanation is you've lost your mind.
00:08:13Except there's no record of you in our database.
00:08:15Because this isn't my enterprise.
00:08:19It certainly is not.
00:08:20But it's supposed to be.
00:08:23I guess the man I spoke to was right.
00:08:25There was some kind of attack.
00:08:26Something in the past changed, which would mean that my reality is gone.
00:08:32But you can't tell me what changed.
00:08:34Or when.
00:08:35Or why.
00:08:36Except that it's the work of some kind of time-traveling assassin?
00:08:40Someone shot the man before he gave me this.
00:08:43It must be the reason why I'm still here.
00:08:45Why I remember my own timeline.
00:08:47Can we use it to send you back?
00:08:49No, I told you.
00:08:50I'm pretty sure there's nothing for me to go back to.
00:08:52My timeline doesn't exist unless I can stop this attack.
00:08:57Well, you're asking me to take an awful lot on faith.
00:08:59I am.
00:09:00Neither of us has any idea what that device really does.
00:09:03It could be a weapon.
00:09:05The man told me to get to the bridge.
00:09:08I think you're supposed to help me.
00:09:10Starfleet has regulations for situations.
00:09:12I have to stop you there, ma'am.
00:09:14I have never heard of this Starfleet.
00:09:18I am a captain in the United Earth Fleet.
00:09:22And you are a guest.
00:09:24An intruder, really.
00:09:25On my ship.
00:09:28I need you to hand that over.
00:09:32My science officer and chief engineer will study it
00:09:34and report it back to UEF command.
00:09:36No.
00:09:42Wait!
00:09:43You gotta be kidding me.
00:09:54Did you break it?
00:09:55Did I...
00:09:55Did I break it?
00:09:57No.
00:09:57It's just not programmed correctly or out of energy, maybe?
00:10:01Or it's put us where we're supposed to be
00:10:02and doesn't want us to leave.
00:10:04I have to get back to my ship.
00:10:06Oh, my God.
00:10:07What have you done?
00:10:09Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:10But this was done to me just as much as it was done to you.
00:10:13So we can stand here and argue about it
00:10:15or we can try and figure out a plan.
00:10:16There is going to be an attack.
00:10:18It's going to change the timeline.
00:10:19We have to stop it.
00:10:26Do you have a tricorder?
00:10:29No.
00:10:29Or a communicator or a phaser.
00:10:32Thanks for that.
00:10:33Right.
00:10:33Well, we'll have to have a look around then, won't we?
00:10:38It seems to be New York City.
00:10:56Mid-21st century.
00:10:58What?
00:10:59What?
00:11:00It's Toronto.
00:11:02The biggest city in what used to be called Canada.
00:11:05You know, maple leaves, politeness,
00:11:07poutine.
00:11:11Do you think you've never been?
00:11:14I've never been to Earth at all.
00:11:16I was born in space on the USS Iowa.
00:11:19Earth in my time, it isn't like this.
00:11:22What is it like?
00:11:24Battleground for a while,
00:11:25then occupied territory,
00:11:26and then a reward.
00:11:28Oh, God.
00:11:31Was it always this freezing on Earth?
00:11:34This isn't actually that bad for Canada.
00:11:35But it will get colder at night.
00:11:39We need to change before we freeze.
00:11:41Come on.
00:11:41Never seen a revolving door before.
00:11:57I'm from space.
00:12:00Find an outfit.
00:12:01There's changing rooms over there.
00:12:02Oh.
00:12:22Hmm.
00:12:24Hmm.
00:12:27Hmm.
00:12:28Hmm.
00:12:30Hmm.
00:12:31Hmm.
00:12:31What do you think?
00:12:40It's fine.
00:12:43Grab your place.
00:12:50Ah.
00:12:51They're going to expect us to, um...
00:12:53I know.
00:12:55You a fast runner?
00:12:59I have a better idea.
00:13:01Hold that.
00:13:21Ma'am, can you sit inside?
00:13:23All right.
00:13:23We can't do that again.
00:13:32People during this time trading currency for everything.
00:13:34Housing, food...
00:13:35All right, so let's get some currency.
00:13:37What kind of marketable 21st century skills do you have?
00:13:43You know what?
00:13:44Give me a few minutes.
00:13:55Ooh, we had to find our way back
00:13:59To the place where the morning's up
00:14:02Ooh, ain't no doubt, ain't no missing
00:14:06So we got it all in hand
00:14:09We got it all in hand
00:14:11Time is right to play my sleep
00:14:13So come on
00:14:15And this is it
00:14:16This is what we got doing
00:14:19People get ready to feel it
00:14:22And this is it
00:14:23This is what we got coming
00:14:26People get ready to feel it
00:14:29Don't take this the wrong way
00:14:40But...
00:14:41What?
00:14:41Don't seem like a thinking five steps ahead kind of guy
00:14:44I used to play all the time with my first officer
00:14:48Until she got sick of losing
00:14:50I've been looking for a proper opponent ever since
00:14:52Mm-hmm
00:14:53That old-fashioned two-dimensional version, though
00:14:56It's basically idiot's chess
00:14:57Ooh
00:14:59Come on
00:15:01Hi, two please
00:15:05Yeah, sure, thanks
00:15:06Thanks
00:15:09Thank you
00:15:11Enjoy
00:15:13Mm-mm
00:15:15Come on
00:15:17I...
00:15:19I am your superior officer
00:15:21And I am ordering you to have a hot dog
00:15:24You don't work for Starfleet
00:15:27So you can't order me to do anything
00:15:29We need to be looking at some sign of what's changed
00:15:32Or who changed it
00:15:35With what to go on?
00:15:38Well...
00:15:39Why this day?
00:15:40Why us?
00:15:41Why here?
00:15:43Nothing seems threatening
00:15:44It's all just sort of, I don't know
00:15:45Pleasant
00:15:47I know
00:15:49It's terrible
00:15:51You know what I mean
00:15:53It's just...
00:15:54But we were sent back for a reason
00:15:55So, um...
00:15:57What?
00:16:00Uh, nothing
00:16:02You don't have sunsets in your time?
00:16:08From the videos I've seen
00:16:10We mostly have clouds of ash
00:16:12That won't clear for a thousand years
00:16:13And underground lunar habitats
00:16:15With no view of the sun at all
00:16:17My advice?
00:16:22Don't skip good hot dogs when you can get them
00:16:25Fine
00:16:29We eat
00:16:30We find some place to warm up
00:16:32Then we...
00:16:32Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:33We do your thing
00:16:34Yeah
00:16:34Hmm
00:16:35Hmm
00:16:37I'm gonna go back and get one more
00:16:41Yeah
00:16:42No
00:16:43You are
00:16:53And I guess
00:16:58Yeah
00:16:59Hi
00:16:59Is that right?
00:17:00I'm starving
00:17:02What are you still doing?
00:17:03Then I'm starving
00:17:04And I'm hungry
00:17:05You are affILLering
00:17:06Hooh
00:17:06Looh
00:17:07Hooh
00:17:08How is that?
00:17:09Yo...
00:17:09What do you feel?
00:18:39Oh, well, that really beats a sonic shower.
00:18:52What are you doing?
00:18:54Trying to remember 21st century history.
00:18:57You should write a list of what you remember, too.
00:19:01We can figure out what's changed.
00:19:04When there's a tiny little bar to go through?
00:19:07Are you serious?
00:19:08We may not have much time.
00:19:10Not much time.
00:19:11I may have missed a few lectures in temporal mechanics, but I understand enough to know what you're asking me to do.
00:19:19This is a fork in the road.
00:19:21Your future and mine diverging from this moment.
00:19:24If we fix your timeline, we destroy mine, my life, my friends, my whole existence.
00:19:33Erased.
00:19:34I'm sorry, but your timeline isn't supposed to exist.
00:19:37According to who?
00:19:38My best option is to do absolutely nothing.
00:19:41Enjoy the hot dogs and the hot showers and let whatever's going to happen happen and then figure out how I can get back home.
00:19:47I've seen your timeline.
00:19:49You're at war.
00:19:49Your Earth is a ruin.
00:19:50We've made the stars our home.
00:19:52The moon, Mars, Venus, Europa.
00:19:54In my timeline, humanity has spread across dozens of worlds.
00:19:58We're part of a federation of species.
00:20:00We don't need anyone else's help to survive.
00:20:03And just surviving is good enough for you?
00:20:05Oh, and I suppose you come from some sort of a utopia.
00:20:08My Earth still has sunsets.
00:20:09Okay, yes, our 21st century, it got bad.
00:20:19But after the first contact with the Vulcans, our Earth became a paradise.
00:20:22The Federation and Starfleet are forces for good, not just on Earth, but throughout the entire galaxy.
00:20:27You're a soldier fighting a war.
00:20:29It seems like you've already lost.
00:20:30You're not out of the fight yet.
00:20:31When you could be an explorer.
00:20:36War.
00:20:39I may not exist in your timeline at all.
00:20:43But you do.
00:20:46I mean, we've never met, but I have heard stories about you from your brother.
00:20:52Sam's alive.
00:21:08My God.
00:21:09Get to the bridge.
00:21:14It's been about an hour since we first learned of the explosion.
00:21:41The bridge explosion, all of this, it's familiar.
00:21:47I think it happened in my timeline.
00:22:05Mine too.
00:22:06Mine too.
00:22:06One of the longest bridges in the world, destroyed just after it was completed.
00:22:11That means this can't be the attack that he was talking about.
00:22:13This isn't the moment things changed.
00:22:19Wait, look over there.
00:22:20Do you see that?
00:22:22See what?
00:22:22The wreckage.
00:22:23Can I see the photos you just took?
00:22:31Uh, please.
00:22:33She meant to say, please.
00:22:34Please.
00:22:34Stop.
00:22:41Right there, right there.
00:22:42Does this get bigger?
00:22:43Like, you want me to zoom in?
00:22:44Right, zoom in.
00:22:53Is something wrong?
00:22:55No, thank you.
00:22:55That charring, I've seen it before.
00:23:01It's a photonic bomb.
00:23:03Photonic?
00:23:04They're not supposed to develop that technology for at least a hundred years.
00:23:06What kind of technology of time-traveling assassin maintenance?
00:23:11Except if our memories are correct, this was already supposed to happen.
00:23:17They're removing the evidence.
00:23:19Come on, we need to follow them.
00:23:20We'll never keep up on foot.
00:23:21Come on.
00:23:23Hey.
00:23:25Most vehicles have private ownership in this time.
00:23:28Oh, I know.
00:23:36Where did you learn to do that?
00:23:48Spent six months in a Denobulan prison cellmate was a Vulcan.
00:23:52I can also make Klamik soup in the toilet.
00:23:54There, there, there, there.
00:24:07Go, go, go.
00:24:08Yeah, I'm trying.
00:24:13There it is.
00:24:14There it is.
00:24:16Slow down.
00:24:36I'm slowing.
00:24:37Be discreet.
00:24:46Basically, my middle name.
00:24:48Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:24:53No, actually, I've read your personnel file.
00:24:55You have some insane...
00:24:56No, Tiberius is not insane.
00:24:58The least discreet middle name.
00:25:00It was my grandfather's.
00:25:07What's your brothers?
00:25:10Sam, Aurelius, Augustus, Benedictus, Kirk.
00:25:13Sam is his middle name.
00:25:15Most people call him George.
00:25:16Absolutely no one calls him George.
00:25:26Tiberius and Sam.
00:25:28Your parents must really hate you.
00:25:29You're one to talk.
00:25:30Le'an, Noonien, Soong.
00:25:34Sing.
00:25:35Whatever.
00:25:37You, you haven't heard it before.
00:25:42What?
00:25:45Just the first time in a while someone hasn't recognized it.
00:25:49Oh.
00:25:51Famous?
00:25:52Infamous is more like it.
00:25:54Oh.
00:25:57Hey!
00:26:00Damn it.
00:26:01Damn it.
00:26:07Hold on.
00:26:19Now, you don't actually have to.
00:26:21You literally just told me to hold on.
00:26:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:26:25That was a person.
00:26:27All right.
00:26:27Well, actually, keep holding on.
00:26:29Don't you move on.
00:26:47Okay.
00:26:52That was a powerful.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:53Das 몰라.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:55Wow.
00:26:55And the cow and the dolly
00:26:57Seeing the unknown
00:27:00From the bottom and the molly
00:27:03Got my back in the moon
00:27:05You turn around
00:27:09And you don't know where you're at
00:27:11Look up at the last door
00:27:14There's a rock in your stand
00:27:17Let's go out and find the ocean
00:27:19Cause I think we can
00:27:21I really don't know what the problem is
00:27:28Where are you taking him?
00:27:30What are you charging him with?
00:27:31Driving without a license?
00:27:32Failing to follow traffic laws?
00:27:33No, I told you my license is in my other pants
00:27:36I'll be fine
00:27:37Just see if you can pick up on that trail
00:27:39What trail?
00:27:40What an incredible surprise
00:27:42Let me guess
00:27:43You haven't made your quota for the week yet?
00:27:45Move along, ma'am
00:27:46Just so you're aware
00:27:47This is streaming live
00:27:48Say hello to the entire very judgment
00:27:51Are your cameras active for this stop?
00:27:55No?
00:27:56Did you stop this man
00:27:57Because you're profiling him for being American?
00:27:59This is a totally routine stop
00:28:01Sure, you just randomly pulled over
00:28:03A famous civil rights attorney
00:28:05Nothing random about it
00:28:06But you agree
00:28:07This is targeted harassment
00:28:08Did you stop the doctor
00:28:09Because of his work
00:28:10Defending victims of tyrannical law enforcement overreach
00:28:13Or is it because of the op-ed
00:28:15He published in the Atlantic
00:28:16About working up police unions
00:28:18Copy, dispatch
00:28:19All right
00:28:21We're going to let you go
00:28:22With a warning
00:28:23This time
00:28:24Drive more carefully in the future
00:28:26What the hell was that?
00:28:30I have no idea
00:28:32Thanks
00:28:37Yeah, no problem
00:28:39Sarah
00:28:40Vanessa
00:28:43Jim
00:28:46You know I'm not
00:28:48A civil rights attorney
00:28:51Totally
00:28:51Then why did you
00:28:55Because you were following the van
00:28:56Without a lot of discretion for what it's worth
00:28:58Discretion is his middle name
00:29:00Wait, you were following them too?
00:29:02Well, if you hadn't let them get away
00:29:03We could have found out
00:29:04Where they were taking the evidence from the bombing
00:29:06Okay, look
00:29:08I'm used to doing this on my own
00:29:10But we have notes that we can compare
00:29:12You know who blew up the bridge?
00:29:14Black, make an educated guess
00:29:16I mean, it was destroyed
00:29:17Obviously not randomly
00:29:19Because of what it symbolized
00:29:20International cooperation
00:29:23The world getting smaller
00:29:25Humanity working together
00:29:27We blamed on a terrorist attack
00:29:28And we'll go back to fighting each other
00:29:30Instead of the real threat
00:29:31You mean...
00:29:36Aliens
00:29:37Anyway
00:29:44It was super fun
00:29:45Saving you from an illegal
00:29:47Blackside tortured dungeon
00:29:48I gotta go
00:29:49My wife
00:29:51Was abducted
00:29:53Taken aboard an alien ship
00:29:56She saw things
00:29:58Yes
00:30:01I'm busy
00:30:03I did
00:30:05It was terrifying
00:30:08The things I saw
00:30:10Like
00:30:11What did you see?
00:30:13Advanced technology
00:30:14Far beyond anything
00:30:15Humans possess
00:30:16What kind of technology?
00:30:19Something called the photonic bomb
00:30:20That's what blew up the bridge
00:30:21Have you heard of anything like that?
00:30:27A lot of crazies latch on to this stuff
00:30:29You're looking for something to believe in
00:30:30Outside the mainstream
00:30:31Trying to find the seams
00:30:32In the bunny suit
00:30:33Right
00:30:35Well things have been changing
00:30:37You have to have noticed
00:30:37Right?
00:30:38I mean there's more attacks
00:30:39And they're closer together
00:30:40So usually the government is better at covering them up
00:30:42To be clear
00:30:45We're talking about the government of
00:30:46No, no, no
00:30:47It's an international cabal
00:30:49It's the only thing all of the governments in the world can agree on
00:30:52Keeping the alien attack secret
00:30:54In exchange for any advanced tech that they recover
00:30:56I mean they have a facility here where they work on it
00:30:59Experimental aircraft
00:31:01Quantum computers
00:31:02I heard that they even have a cold fusion reactor here in this city
00:31:08That powers their entire operation
00:31:10The bridge was about sowing division
00:31:14What about the other attacks?
00:31:15What's the connection?
00:31:16Okay, so Chernobyl
00:31:17Tunguska
00:31:19JFK
00:31:19Random gas leak explosions
00:31:21All of it
00:31:23Is about slowing down human progress
00:31:27Keeping us stuck on this rock
00:31:30So we will never go to space
00:31:31Are you guys hungry?
00:31:34Because I'm hungry
00:31:35I am hungry
00:31:39Actually
00:31:39Wait, I
00:31:41Wait, poutine has gravy?
00:31:47This is amazing
00:31:49Can you focus?
00:31:51I'm not sure we can believe anything she's telling us
00:31:53She knew enough to follow the van from the bridge explosion
00:31:56She's unhinged
00:31:58She grew up in a time when everyone thought aliens were science fiction
00:32:02But in her gut she knows that they're real
00:32:05And that they aren't necessarily friendly
00:32:06I mean that would make anyone unhinged
00:32:09Right?
00:32:09Hey, sorry
00:32:10This works better with visuals
00:32:12I've spent years collecting these pictures
00:32:16I mean there's plenty available on the internet
00:32:18But 99% of it is nonsense and memes, right?
00:32:20What's a meme?
00:32:22Sorry these are so blurry
00:32:24I swear half of these people on forums are still using dial-up
00:32:27How did you get this?
00:32:31An astronomer trying to take a picture of the International Space Station
00:32:34In the right place at the right time
00:32:36And speaking of
00:32:38There's a hookah place across from the bridge explosion site
00:32:41I bought the surveillance footage off the owner
00:32:44Before the police could confiscate it
00:32:46And
00:32:46He was waiting 15 minutes before the explosion
00:32:50And that's one of the guys who made off with the wreckage
00:32:52Like he already knew it was going to happen
00:32:54I'm sorry we didn't have more to tell you
00:33:06We're uh
00:33:07We're new at this
00:33:08No, I mean
00:33:10You listened
00:33:11You didn't tell me that I was crazy
00:33:13You have no idea what that means to me
00:33:16Anyway, thank you
00:33:20You have to feel bad for her
00:33:24To be so certain of something so close to the proof
00:33:28Well she's closer than she thinks
00:33:30That ship she showed us
00:33:32It's Romulan
00:33:34I remember now
00:33:36Look, she said that there's an experimental cold fusion reactor somewhere in the city
00:33:42Well, I know that there is
00:33:44Because in a few days it's going to be destroyed
00:33:46And wipe out Toronto
00:33:48A Romulan first strike
00:33:49None of that happens in my timeline
00:33:51Then we need to find the cold fusion reactor first
00:33:55Stop the time traveler from destroying it
00:33:59Which would be trivial if we had a tri-quarter
00:34:05Yeah
00:34:07If only someone hadn't impulsively zapped us over here with that one
00:34:13Any chance that same someone took a lot of engineering extension forces at the academy?
00:34:19Maybe she can build one for us?
00:34:21Someone had to audit the intro course, so
00:34:23So I guess we just need to find an engineer from the stone ages to build us a cold fusion detector
00:34:30Yeah
00:34:31Ideally one who's not going to ask a lot of follow-up questions
00:34:34Vermont?
00:34:40I might actually know somebody in Vermont
00:34:43Just trust me
00:35:04This is going to sound crazy, but
00:35:26We spent all day getting hit
00:35:29We had to ride the border guard
00:35:30We took a cab and four buses
00:35:32Please, Pellia
00:35:33How do you know my name?
00:35:38I know you
00:35:39And
00:35:41I know your secret
00:35:43So, please
00:35:48Open the down door
00:35:49Come on, come on
00:35:56Look, I have a terrible memory for faces and yours does not bring a better
00:36:12And besides, people don't just wander in off the street saying
00:36:17I know your secret and get a free pass from me
00:36:19I need more to go on than that
00:36:21How else would I know that you're a lanthanite?
00:36:24An ancient sect of beings who live impossibly long lives
00:36:27Who've hidden amongst humans largely undetected for thousands of years
00:36:30How else could I know that you stole that from the move?
00:36:36How did you find me?
00:36:37I knew you were at a place called the archaeology department
00:36:40But I thought it was an actual, you know, archaeology department
00:36:44So then we checked out a lot of universities
00:36:46And when that didn't work, a guy at the Apple store taught me how to use DuckDuckGo
00:36:51None of that answers how you know about me in the first place
00:36:56I don't exactly advertise
00:36:58We have something in common
00:36:59We both have secrets that would topple a lot of people's firmly held beliefs
00:37:04All I can say is
00:37:07My friend and I
00:37:10We're on a mission to protect something
00:37:14Beautiful
00:37:17The future of humanity
00:37:21And I think you know from experience just how fragile that future is
00:37:28We are maybe hours away from losing that future entirely
00:37:32You are the only person I can trust to help us
00:37:36We both have brain-melting secrets
00:37:40Is I guess a good enough reason to help someone
00:37:42What you need
00:37:46An engineer
00:37:48Then
00:37:49Where the hell did you come to me?
00:37:54You're
00:37:54Not an engineer
00:37:56I work retail
00:37:58Does this look like an engineer's engineering place?
00:38:03I haven't taken a math class since Pythagoras made the crap up
00:38:09You two are trying to find a nuclear reactor
00:38:14Why is that?
00:38:16I've had enough bad run-ins with law enforcement to last several lifetimes
00:38:22And now this business with the bridge
00:38:25We're the ones trying to not blow up the reactor
00:38:28I guess it doesn't matter much
00:38:30I like a good puzzle
00:38:31But I don't know what help I can be
00:38:34I'm the one that thought cold fusion was pretend like Bigfoot
00:38:38Or lasers
00:38:39Lasers
00:38:41Are also real
00:38:43All right, you know
00:38:46I can't keep up with every scientific whatever
00:38:49Let this lady repair my ship
00:38:52Okay, what?
00:38:53We don't have to understand how cold fusion works
00:38:55To find the reactor
00:38:56We just need to find its byproducts
00:38:58Excess heat
00:38:59Neutrons
00:39:00Tritium
00:39:01Tritium
00:39:02Like in divers' watches
00:39:04Old divers' watches from the 80s
00:39:06I'm gonna show you
00:39:07Follow me
00:39:08I guarantee you this is going to be insane
00:39:11Here you go
00:39:17They light up
00:39:19Or they're used to
00:39:20Something about tritium running out after about 20 years
00:39:24And then they're basically worthless after that
00:39:27Tritium gives off a small amount of radiation
00:39:30The dars must be coated in something that reacts with it
00:39:33Maybe, um, fosfor?
00:39:36Tritium has a short half-life, so it would decay
00:39:39Leaving only the reactive material behind
00:39:42Which means what?
00:39:44Oh, look at her!
00:39:46If we take the glass casing off
00:39:48The reactive material will be exposed to the air
00:39:52And if there's tritium present
00:39:55The hands of the watch will glow
00:39:58Thank you so much for your help
00:40:01You are more of an engineer than you think
00:40:04Thank you
00:40:06Maybe I missed my calling
00:40:09It'd be nice to make an honest living for a change
00:40:12Not that any of this stuff is stolen
00:40:16Wandering for hours
00:40:27Anything?
00:40:28I promise I will mention it if it starts to glow
00:40:32Could it just let me wear it is all?
00:40:35Oh, that again
00:40:36No, it's a man's watch
00:40:38You just want to be in charge
00:40:39You know, if I was in your position
00:40:47I don't know that I would have gone along with this
00:40:50I don't think I could have gotten this far without you
00:40:53You definitely have frozen to death on the first night
00:40:58Or starved
00:41:00That hot dog saved your life
00:41:02Well, how many people can say that?
00:41:05I might be the only one
00:41:06Truth is
00:41:09If we can only save one timeline
00:41:12And I'd rather live in yours
00:41:15I mean, I know that's not how it works
00:41:17Like I mentioned
00:41:19I missed a few lectures in temporal mechanics, but
00:41:21What if you could?
00:41:24Come to my time?
00:41:27I'm not sure one timeline is big enough for two of me
00:41:30I'm serious
00:41:31I brought you here
00:41:34If we can fix this
00:41:36Maybe the device could take us both back
00:41:39People are
00:41:45Usually
00:41:48Difficult for me
00:41:51There's always been
00:41:53A barrier
00:41:56And it can get
00:41:58Lonely
00:41:59But you
00:42:04Me?
00:42:06I'm special
00:42:08Yes
00:42:12No
00:42:14Both, I guess
00:42:18I've been carrying something around for a long time
00:42:24Something
00:42:25In my heritage
00:42:27You come from a long line of axe murderers?
00:42:31Oh, no
00:42:31We never use axes
00:42:32Truth is
00:42:34Maybe I'm letting that go now
00:42:36And
00:42:37Maybe it helps that
00:42:39You've never even heard of the Scarlet Letter I've read my whole life
00:42:41Scarlet Letter?
00:42:46It's a novel by Hawthorne
00:42:47It's about a woman who's mocked
00:42:51Like the mock of Cain
00:42:53You've never even
00:42:59Yes
00:42:59I know Hawthorne
00:43:01And the Old Testament
00:43:02I'm just messing with you
00:43:05You ask
00:43:06You ask
00:43:06You ask
00:43:06You ask
00:43:31Hey.
00:43:43Yeah?
00:43:47You broke your promise.
00:43:59But Klairs...
00:44:00This must be it.
00:44:14Cold fusion reactor is in here.
00:44:23Well, this is your mission.
00:44:26What's the play?
00:44:27We need to get inside, find out what we're really dealing with.
00:44:31All right.
00:44:33So we wait here, watch for someone coming or going, force their hand into the scanner.
00:44:38We won't need to.
00:44:39Look at the sign.
00:44:45Nini and Singh.
00:44:46That can't be a coincidence.
00:44:48You wanted to know why you were picked for this mission.
00:44:50What does it mean?
00:44:51What does your family have to do with this?
00:44:52What did they do?
00:44:52It worked.
00:45:04Marker in my DNA, maybe.
00:45:10Locker in my DNA, maybe.
00:45:14Well, this worked out.
00:45:18Thank you for helping me get into this place.
00:45:22I'm gonna need both of you to come with me inside.
00:45:26Don't.
00:45:30You're the one we're looking for, aren't you? We're from the future?
00:45:34As are you. You're Captain James T. Kirk.
00:45:38Embarrassing. How long it took me to recognize you.
00:45:42Recognize me? I would say that your reputation precedes you,
00:45:46but it's kind of the other way around. You blew up
00:45:50the bridge. I didn't. Everything I told you
00:45:54was true. My people have been slowing human
00:45:58progress, but they should have gone much further than blowing up a couple
00:46:02of labs and bridges. They have no idea
00:46:06how troublesome humanity becomes.
00:46:08Your people.
00:46:10Your own Romulan from the future.
00:46:14A hell of a job on the disguise.
00:46:16Still not quite used to the ears yet.
00:46:20Now get in.
00:46:22Not a chance.
00:46:24You wanna shoot us?
00:46:26Go ahead. You have to know that if you do,
00:46:28the building's alarms will go off. Security will lock the place down.
00:46:32Your plan will fail.
00:46:34You're bluffing.
00:46:36No.
00:46:37No.
00:46:38No.
00:46:40No, no, no.
00:46:41No.
00:46:42You're gonna be okay.
00:46:44I'm not bluffing.
00:46:46No, you're gonna be okay. Look at me.
00:46:47It's okay.
00:46:48Keep your eyes on me.
00:46:50No. No.
00:46:52No, no.
00:46:54You're gonna be okay.
00:46:57God perfect.
00:46:59No, you're gonna be okay. Look at me. It's okay.
00:47:03Keep your eyes on me.
00:47:05Say hi to Sam for me.
00:47:07No.
00:47:09No, no.
00:47:11James.
00:47:13James.
00:47:20Mm-hmm.
00:47:28Hey.
00:47:29A little impulsive on my part.
00:47:32But maybe worth it
00:47:34to be the one to kill James T. Kirk.
00:47:50No.
00:47:52No.
00:47:58Freeze!
00:48:00Stop!
00:48:01Security won't let you get to the reactor.
00:48:03I'm not going to the reactor.
00:48:05What?
00:48:06The reactor exploding, destroying the city.
00:48:08That's what changes.
00:48:09Well, that was plan A.
00:48:11But it's not going to the reactor.
00:48:13What?
00:48:14The reactor exploding, destroying the city.
00:48:16That's what changes.
00:48:17Well, that was plan A.
00:48:19But if you can't use a hand grenade,
00:48:21I should use a scaffold.
00:48:34Open it.
00:48:47Use your handprint to open the door.
00:48:56No.
00:48:59You know who's in there, right?
00:49:03You're here to kill Khan Noonien Singh.
00:49:05Why?
00:49:06Because a computer simulation told me to.
00:49:09You can't be serious.
00:49:11Time is like a black box.
00:49:15It's too complicated to leave to intuition.
00:49:18So we built computers.
00:49:20We'll tell us the results of certain changes.
00:49:24And this was your answer?
00:49:26Khan becomes a brutal tyrant.
00:49:28I mean, maybe humanity needs a dark age
00:49:30that he brings in to usher in their age of enlightenment.
00:49:33Or maybe it's just random.
00:49:35It doesn't really matter though.
00:49:37Because if I kill him, the Federation never forms.
00:49:40And the Romulans lose their greatest adversary.
00:49:43But you know, so many people have tried to influence these events.
00:49:47You know, to delay them or stop them.
00:49:49I mean, whole temporal wars have been fought over them.
00:49:53And it's almost as if time itself is pushing back.
00:49:57And events reinsert themselves.
00:49:59And all this was supposed to happen back in 1992.
00:50:01And I've been trapped here for 30 years!
00:50:04Trying to get my shot at him.
00:50:06I'm not gonna stop now.
00:50:07So open the door.
00:50:10My real name is La'an Noonien Singh.
00:50:17My ancestor is Khan Noonien Singh.
00:50:20And his legacy is genocide, torture, and me.
00:50:31You have a device in your pocket that protects you from changes in the timeline.
00:50:37If he dies, you can live whatever kind of life you want.
00:50:43And you'll never have to hear the name Khan ever again.
00:50:48You can be free of him.
00:50:57Shh.
00:50:58Oh, let's hide right.
00:51:01Oh-
00:51:07Oh.
00:51:14Dad?
00:51:16Oh.
00:51:21Oh!
00:51:22Oh, my God.
00:51:52Oh, my God.
00:52:22Oh, my God.
00:52:24Are you going to kill me?
00:52:34No, of course not.
00:52:36You don't need to be scared of me.
00:52:44Come here.
00:52:50You're just a little boy.
00:53:06Are you alone or are there others like you?
00:53:12Are you here to take me away?
00:53:26Are you going to take me away?
00:53:30This won't make any sense right now.
00:53:34Maybe it will never.
00:53:36But you are right where you need to be.
00:53:38Come here.
00:53:40Come here.
00:53:42Come here.
00:53:44Come here.
00:53:46Come here.
00:53:48Come here.
00:53:50Come here.
00:53:52Come here.
00:53:54I don't know.
00:54:24It doesn't matter what the bulletin says, the Statute of Limitations passed decades ago.
00:54:43I checked.
00:54:43Is there a Statute of Limitations on plundering antiquities?
00:54:48Well, Lon, maybe Starfleet Security wants to weigh in on this.
00:54:53But I'd say we should let this one slide, Captain.
00:54:58You're not wearing a uniform.
00:54:59There's something wrong.
00:55:05Nothing's wrong, Captain.
00:55:07I just needed to check on something, and now I have.
00:55:10Excuse me.
00:55:13I'm an agent Emily from the Department of Temporal Investigations.
00:55:41Am I meant to know what that is?
00:55:43A division of the Federation that investigates and repairs damage to the timeline.
00:55:47You haven't heard of us because we don't exist yet.
00:55:51The man who gave me this...
00:55:54was one of us.
00:55:55Thank you again for completing his mission.
00:56:00It must have been harrowing.
00:56:03I have to insist that you not share any of what you experienced,
00:56:07even with Captain Pike or anyone else from this time.
00:56:11You sent me back to protect a mass murderer.
00:56:18To be clear, I didn't send you anywhere.
00:56:22I had to kill to protect him.
00:56:24I had to watch my...
00:56:25And I can't even talk about it.
00:56:31Those events were never supposed to happen.
00:56:33And you were never meant to be aware of them.
00:56:36Neither was your companion.
00:56:38You protected the timeline in a way no one else could have.
00:56:44Would you risk undoing all of that?
00:56:54No.
00:56:54Thank you again for your assistance.
00:57:04And if you could...
00:57:07return our equipment.
00:57:24No.
00:57:27No.
00:57:27Just go.
00:57:29It looks like you're not supposed to be.
00:57:30You could!
00:57:34I got all the stuff.
00:57:35And I just wanted to squeeze for you.
00:57:37I want to try not to keep you in my room.
00:57:38That's perfect right.
00:57:40I got the keys.
00:57:41I got to keep you in my room.
00:57:42You just have to keep you in my room.
00:57:44You're not supposed to be in your room.
00:57:45You were supposed to be in your room for them.
00:57:47You thought you were supposed to be in your room for yourself.
00:57:49I got the keys in my family,
00:57:50and you were supposed to be a minor.
00:57:52I got to keep you.
