00:00:00Previously on Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:00:27to kill Dawn. You know their names.
00:00:30Ulik al-Alkazan.
00:00:34We can keep doing this,
00:00:36but we can also talk about it.
00:00:37It's classified. How do you know
00:00:39you can't make a different choice?
00:00:41Yuhuto Hoshida. One that
00:00:43saves all of you. Andrea Lopez.
00:00:46I accepted my fate.
00:00:50It goes beyond my
00:00:51own life. What if your fate
00:00:53is what you make it?
00:00:55Maybe that's the good, and seeing my future
00:00:57stay the course, save their lives.
00:01:17Captain's Log
00:01:17Stardate 1457.9
00:01:19The Enterprise is on the
00:01:21edge of the Neutral Zone. A narrow
00:01:23band of space separating the Romulan Empire
00:01:25from the Federation.
00:01:27A remnant of a treaty from 100 years ago
00:01:29when a destructive war was
00:01:31waged between our two cultures.
00:01:34Enterprise and the USS Cayuga
00:01:35are here to help the outposts that guard the Neutral
00:01:37Zone with much needed retrofitting
00:01:39and supplies.
00:01:40Oh, we already had spaghetti last night.
00:01:55Making pasta mama.
00:01:58Just add eggs, Parmesan,
00:02:01lightly saute,
00:02:03and it transforms
00:02:04from leftovers
00:02:05into something new.
00:02:07A little like
00:02:09what we're doing
00:02:09through these outposts.
00:02:10Not as tasty, though.
00:02:15You're hearing rumors
00:02:16the Romulans are developing
00:02:17new weapons.
00:02:17Ah, the Romulans are the boogeymen.
00:02:19No one's ever seen one,
00:02:21nobody even knows
00:02:21what they look like,
00:02:22and yet,
00:02:23they get blamed
00:02:23for a lot of things
00:02:24around here.
00:02:26Some actually
00:02:26their fault.
00:02:31You know,
00:02:33like I miss the beard.
00:02:34Yeah,
00:02:35I felt like I belonged
00:02:37to a different era of Captain.
00:02:38But that's what you were going for,
00:02:40a man at a time.
00:02:45How have you been holding up?
00:02:48Someone told me
00:02:49I have better places to be,
00:02:50so I'm trying to be there.
00:02:52Better places.
00:02:55And how's that going?
00:02:57You tell me.
00:02:58Well,
00:03:03as much as I love you
00:03:05being mysterious,
00:03:06I've got a date
00:03:06on the far side
00:03:07on the neutral zone.
00:03:10Anyone I know?
00:03:11Not that kind of date,
00:03:12actually.
00:03:13You know,
00:03:13I'm making
00:03:14also buco next week
00:03:15if you're interested.
00:03:16I mean,
00:03:17I'm always curious
00:03:17who the Chris of tomorrow
00:03:18is going to be.
00:03:20Beard?
00:03:20No beard?
00:03:22Surprising.
00:03:23We are on our own
00:03:30out here.
00:03:31How do you plan
00:03:32to fix our supply chain problems?
00:03:34Under the proposed
00:03:35retrofit directive,
00:03:37every outpost
00:03:37will be equipped
00:03:38with state-of-the-art
00:03:39matter synthesizers
00:03:40fueled by minerals
00:03:41from the asteroid itself.
00:03:43We will also each receive
00:03:44a set of fully automated
00:03:45mining craft
00:03:45that can be operated remotely.
00:03:48Commander?
00:03:50How does this sound?
00:03:51It sounds like
00:03:53what I've been asking for
00:03:54for the last five years.
00:03:56Oh, you're welcome.
00:04:00You know I'm working.
00:04:02I just wanted
00:04:03to meet Captain Pike.
00:04:05Apologies.
00:04:06Mott has always dreamt
00:04:07about joining Starfleet.
00:04:11What did he say
00:04:12your name is?
00:04:12Mott.
00:04:14Mott Al-Sala.
00:04:16He has a model
00:04:17of the Enterprise
00:04:18back home.
00:04:19You're quite a hero.
00:04:20Is it true
00:04:21if you tell him
00:04:21what's what
00:04:22it is right now?
00:04:31Apologies.
00:04:32I think I need a moment.
00:04:35I'm sorry.
00:04:36He just gets a little excited.
00:04:37It's totally fine.
00:04:38I'm just feeling
00:04:38a little under the weather.
00:04:40Number one in spot
00:04:40can answer any
00:04:41further questions you have.
00:04:42Captain.
00:04:57Captain.
00:04:59Captain!
00:04:59Captain!
00:05:02Chris.
00:05:03That boy.
00:05:05He's one of the names
00:05:06you mentioned.
00:05:06Yes, I wasn't expecting that.
00:05:08There's two cadets who don't make it.
00:05:10He's one of them.
00:05:12You don't have to face this alone.
00:05:14What are you going to do?
00:05:16I don't know.
00:05:18I have to do something, don't I?
00:05:36Computer, take dictation.
00:05:46Dear Ma'at,
00:05:48I am gratified to see your deep interest in Starfleet,
00:05:52and I encourage you to pursue your dream.
00:05:54But there is something you should know about.
00:05:58The future?
00:06:00You'll figure out how to say it.
00:06:02Trust me.
00:06:04Who the hell are you?
00:06:08I thought that would have been obvious.
00:06:13I'm you.
00:06:21Space.
00:06:24The final frontier.
00:06:28These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
00:06:34Its five-year mission.
00:06:36To explore strange new worlds.
00:06:41To seek out new life.
00:06:44And new civilizations.
00:06:48To boldly go where no one has gone before.
00:06:52What WILL THEY DO FOR?
00:06:57Galway?
00:06:59Doesn't matter.
00:07:01How has the dragon come control?
00:07:03Besides these.
00:07:05Happened.
00:07:06The enemy begins.
00:07:07Falados.
00:07:08Partsing.
00:07:09The enemy.
00:07:10They'll keep fighting.
00:07:11They'll be in trouble.
00:07:12Hola hastily.
00:07:13To keep fighting,
00:07:14他們 came.
00:08:15I'm sorry.
00:08:18It's just this room brings back a lot of memories.
00:08:21Is this some kind of a...
00:08:23Joke?
00:08:23No.
00:08:25How am I supposed to believe that I'm really you?
00:08:28You ever going to let me get a word in edgewise?
00:08:31I knew you were going to say that. Does that help?
00:08:32I've been doing this long enough that I'm not just going to take the word of somebody who shows up in my cabin and says he's future me.
00:08:42Your first pony was named Sir Nasalott.
00:08:48He broke his leg in a rainstorm. Your parents had to put him down and you cried for a week.
00:08:52You ever tell anybody that?
00:08:53It's hard when your tragic backstory starts with...
00:08:57My silly name.
00:08:59Sorry.
00:09:00Look.
00:09:00I'm here because that letter you're about to write is going to wreck the future.
00:09:10How the...
00:09:10Why?
00:09:16Two cadets die in that accident seven years from now.
00:09:19My aunt is one of them.
00:09:22You're trying to figure out how to save the cadets and yourself.
00:09:26And you do.
00:09:27We do.
00:09:28You write to all of them.
00:09:31Tell them not to be there that day.
00:09:33But like so much of this time-bending stuff, there are, uh...
00:09:37Unforeseen consequences.
00:09:40Well, how bad can it be if I figure out a way to save all the cadets and myself?
00:09:44Well, isn't you standing here evidence that I pull it off?
00:09:47Yes.
00:09:49And that's the problem.
00:09:52Causality is complex.
00:09:54The letter is just the first domino to fall in a chain reaction of events that leads to catastrophic results.
00:10:01It alters the future in ways that we never intended to change.
00:10:05You sound like one of those Klingon monks from Boraf.
00:10:08Who do you think sent me?
00:10:10They gave me something to show you.
00:10:17Is that what I think it is?
00:10:19A time crystal.
00:10:21It will show you the effects of changing your fate.
00:10:25This is serious.
00:10:27This is end-of-the-world stuff.
00:10:31Now, I know that you would never put your own fate before the fate of the galaxy.
00:10:39And that's how I convinced the Klingons to let me show you instead.
00:10:43Instead of what?
00:10:46You know the Klingons.
00:10:49Nothing they wouldn't rather solve with a bad laugh.
00:10:51I...
00:10:52I...
00:10:56I...
00:10:56I...
00:11:08I...
00:11:10I...
00:11:12I...
00:11:13Captain?
00:11:15Sorry.
00:11:16What was I saying?
00:11:17Um, that since the age of wooden ships, all shipmasters have had a happy privilege.
00:11:33Of...
00:11:34Right.
00:11:35The...
00:11:36I...
00:11:37I assume I was...
00:11:38I was talking about weddings.
00:11:40Yeah?
00:11:41Which we get to perform.
00:11:42As captains.
00:11:43On...
00:11:44On ships.
00:11:45So...
00:11:46We take you...
00:11:47And you...
00:11:48Uh...
00:11:49And you...
00:11:50Both want to get married.
00:11:51So...
00:11:52All decks red alert.
00:11:53Repeat.
00:11:54All decks red alert.
00:11:55Repeat.
00:11:56All decks red alert.
00:11:57Thank God.
00:11:58Number one to Captain Pike.
00:11:59Outpost four reports they are under attack by a space vessel.
00:12:01Identity unknown.
00:12:02Copy.
00:12:03Mr. Spock.
00:12:04On my way.
00:12:05What's the situation, Mr. Spock?
00:12:06Lieutenant Uhura can brief you.
00:12:07Thank God.
00:12:08Thank God.
00:12:09Number one to Captain Pike.
00:12:11Outpost four reports they are under attack by a space vessel.
00:12:15Identity unknown.
00:12:16Copy.
00:12:17Mr. Spock.
00:12:18On my way.
00:12:27What's the situation, Mr. Spock?
00:12:30Lieutenant Uhura can brief you.
00:12:35Outpost four reported under attack, sir.
00:12:40That message terminates.
00:12:54Any word from two or three?
00:12:56Two has not responded to our hails, and three has also gone silent.
00:13:01How far out are we, Erica?
00:13:02Eight minutes from outpost four at this velocity, sir.
00:13:05Did outpost four say anything else about the attacking vessel?
00:13:07No identification, sir.
00:13:09I'm guessing it's the same attackers, sir.
00:13:11The Romulans.
00:13:20Let's not make guesses just yet.
00:13:22I'd like to avoid a war if I can.
00:13:25Maintain course.
00:13:27Alert me when we're two minutes out.
00:13:28Mr. Spock, could you join me in the radio room, please?
00:13:302266.
00:13:33Seven years into the future.
00:13:36I do not understand.
00:13:38Is this one of your human jokes?
00:13:40I'm serious, Spock.
00:13:41This is...
00:13:43Well, it's time crystal stuff.
00:13:45Approaching this logically, time travel seems a less likely solution than that you are compromised mentally.
00:13:51And as your first officer, in these circumstances, it is my job to assume command.
00:13:56I agree, if I was mentally compromised, but I am not.
00:14:00So what's the logical solution?
00:14:03Perhaps the doctor could do a full scan.
00:14:05Why don't we try a mind melt?
00:14:07That way you'll know if I'm lying or not.
00:14:21My mind to your mind.
00:14:24My thoughts to your thoughts.
00:14:26You carry the weight of a terrible future, Chris.
00:14:43The accident in question was six months ago.
00:14:45In this timeline, there were no cadets at the reactor incident to save.
00:14:52No one was even hurt.
00:14:54I need your help, Spock.
00:14:56I was sent forward to this moment in time for a reason.
00:14:59We have to figure out why.
00:15:00I would posit that in this present, you were never injured in the training accident.
00:15:05Thus, you remained captain of the Enterprise, putting you in charge at a crucial moment in the ship's existence.
00:15:10A moment where the whole future hangs in the balance.
00:15:13All we can surmise is that in the prime future, some other captain of the Enterprise must have commanded it differently.
00:15:20Thus, it is imperative you do not change what you would normally do on the ship.
00:15:24I thought we were trying to avoid a terrible future.
00:15:26We are trying to discover why this future is, in the estimation of your older self, worse.
00:15:32So the only way to discover the terrible future is to live it.
00:15:47Enterprise is in position and holding, sir. Just out of weapons range.
00:15:52Detecting a fair amount of debris, but no sign of any attacking ship.
00:15:56Let's triple check.
00:15:57You go to see if there are any other Federation ships in the vicinity in case we need backup.
00:16:01The Farragut is closest. A couple hours away.
00:16:07That's La'an's ship, sir.
00:16:10Yes. I'd forgotten.
00:16:15Sir, we're being hailed. It's the outpost. Audio only.
00:16:19Enterprise, can you read me this? Commander Hansen Al Salah.
00:16:25Mrs. Pike, what's your status?
00:16:27Outpost 2, 3, and 8 are gone. Unknown weapon completely destroyed.
00:16:32We had our deflector shields on maximum hit by enormous power.
00:16:36First attack blew through our shields. If they hit us again with our deflectors gone.
00:16:42Do you read me, Enterprise?
00:16:44What hit you, Commander? What vessel can you identify?
00:16:47Negative. It all happened so fast, and it seems to have disappeared somehow.
00:16:53Switching to visual.
00:16:55Enterprise, can you see my command post here?
00:17:01We're a mile deep on an asteroid.
00:17:04Almost solid iron. Even through our deflectors, it did this.
00:17:08Can you see?
00:17:09We see, Hansen.
00:17:11Was your son with you?
00:17:12No. Thank God.
00:17:16What can you tell us about the attacker?
00:17:18No identity. Only a glimpse of it.
00:17:22And they fired something at us.
00:17:25High energy plasma. Fantastic power.
00:17:30Vessel, it seems to have disappeared, but it is out there somewhere.
00:17:34Enterprise, there is something on our sensors. Moving fast.
00:17:39Send us your signal.
00:17:40Switching.
00:17:42Enterprise, can you see in the center of my screen?
00:17:45Phasers.
00:17:46Still out of range, sir.
00:17:47We're out of range, Commander. Do you have weapons?
00:17:48Negative. Phasers gone. Weapon crew are all dead.
00:17:51Hail them. Warn that ship off.
00:17:52I'm trying. They're not acknowledging us.
00:17:55Beat us.
00:17:56Oh, my God.
00:18:26It's visible for just a moment. Perhaps necessary to use weapons.
00:18:29Sir, we have to find a way to engage them.
00:18:33We need something to follow, Lieutenant.
00:18:35We have no visuals. Analyzing their movement patterns now. Give me a moment.
00:18:43Sir? Incoming warp signature. We're being hailed. It's one of ours, the Farragut.
00:18:50Bond ship. Who's hailing us?
00:18:54Their captain, James Kirk.
00:18:56Sam's brother?
00:19:00I mean, uh, on screen.
00:19:05Enterprise, this is Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Farragut. Offering assistance.
00:19:14Christopher Pike, good to see you, Captain.
00:19:16We received outpost four's distress signal and pushed warp nine for as long as we safely could.
00:19:21Do we know who did this?
00:19:22We have a pretty good idea.
00:19:23We are trying to determine conclusively.
00:19:26I may have a lead, sir.
00:19:28The ship in question appears to have a kind of cloaking device, but they still have a detectable gravitational presence.
00:19:33So can we track it, Commander?
00:19:35Spock. Theoretically, yes.
00:19:37By detecting the microlensing of background stars, we can determine an approximate location.
00:19:41Impressive, Mr. Spock.
00:19:43Where's the intruder now?
00:19:46He has changed heading at a very leisurely maneuver. They may not be aware of us.
00:19:50How can that be true?
00:19:51They had to decloak to fire. Their device may work both ways. It makes them invisible to our sensors, but it requires a massive amount of energy.
00:19:58They are likely flying blind, without enough power to run their scanners.
00:20:01So we can't see them, but they can't see us.
00:20:10His heading is now 111 Mark 14. The exact heading a Romulan vessel would take toward the neutral zone and home.
00:20:16Sir, it's the Romulans. We have to take them out.
00:20:20We can't enter the neutral zone. Starfleet is clear on this. We do. That's considered an act of war.
00:20:24They destroyed three of our outposts. That's not an act of war?
00:20:27We attack the Romulans without authorization. The Federation will consider us expendable.
00:20:31We do have another option. We can shadow the ship. Follow a parallel course to buy us some time.
00:20:37Not an intercept course, sir?
00:20:38No. The captain is right. That would be a declaration of war.
00:20:42But if Enterprise and Farragut match course and speed with the enemy ship, exactly. Move for move.
00:20:47They might think we're just a reflection. Echoes on their sensors.
00:20:51That way we won't lose them while we wait to hear back from Starfleet.
00:20:54Let's start shadowing them.
00:20:57D'Hura, send a message to Starfleet. Ask for permission to engage the Romulans.
00:21:02Captain Kirk, we'll be talking. I look forward to it. Kirk out.
00:21:08Get Sam Kirk up here ASAP.
00:21:12Am I off the record here, sir?
00:21:16Jim was always at the top of his class. Smart and highly skilled, obviously.
00:21:21But he's not above relying on charm or even luck.
00:21:26Sounds like a wild card.
00:21:28A whole deck of them.
00:21:30He doesn't like to take the path everyone else does.
00:21:33And he doesn't like to lose.
00:21:39Should we be worried that he's going to start a war?
00:21:42Look, I'm not going to say that Jim isn't a pain in the ass.
00:21:49He is. He's a huge pain in the ass.
00:21:52But the truth is, he's as fine a captain as Starfleet has.
00:21:57Okay. Good to know.
00:21:58Like I said, he does like to bend the rules sometimes.
00:22:02No, more like all the time.
00:22:05Captain, can you come to the bridge?
00:22:07There is something you should see.
00:22:09There's a comet ahead, and its trail is reflecting a signal on an unused EM frequency.
00:22:14It is encoded, Mr. Spock is trying to decipher.
00:22:17But we think it might be from the enemy ship.
00:22:20They cut off transmission, but we managed to make a copy.
00:22:24I think it's a feed from their bridge, sir.
00:22:26So we're finally going to see what the Romulans look like.
00:22:30Put it on screen, please, Mr. Spock.
00:22:32Thank you, Mr. Spock.
00:23:02Captain Kirk, welcome aboard the Enterprise.
00:23:14Thanks, Captain Pike.
00:23:15Sam.
00:23:20Quite the ship you got here.
00:23:22He's jealous.
00:23:23Well, we're not going to get out of this problem by not talking about it.
00:23:31Agreed.
00:23:32I'd like to hear what Mr. Spock has to say for himself.
00:23:36I assure you, Lieutenant, the similarities between Vulcans and Romulans came as a surprise to me.
00:23:41Perhaps even more so than you.
00:23:42It does seem suspicious.
00:23:44Not the similarity itself, but the fact that we should discover it right now.
00:23:47What are you suggesting?
00:23:48Well, it's no secret that the Vulcans and the humans are an alliance.
00:23:52Perhaps the Romulans allowed us to see that transmission in hopes that it would sow discord among us.
00:23:57Even if we ignore the pointy-eared elephant in the room, we have another problem to worry about.
00:24:02We're going to lose our prey.
00:24:04The Romulans are on a bearing to return to the neutral zone in an hour.
00:24:07I don't think we can wait.
00:24:09We have to make a choice here.
00:24:10Say we do make that choice.
00:24:11Their plasma weapon can still slice through our shields.
00:24:15That, in conjunction with their cloaking device, gives them the tactical advantage.
00:24:18Even against our ships working in tandem.
00:24:20Working in tandem for what?
00:24:22To destroy them?
00:24:25Say we're lucky enough to do that.
00:24:27Isn't that, technically, an act of war?
00:24:30I hate to say it, Doc, but they started it.
00:24:34This isn't a schoolyard.
00:24:36Billions of lives are at stake here.
00:24:38Which is why I want to hear everyone's opinion before we take any action.
00:24:44I vote against war.
00:24:46So do I.
00:24:47I just think that means killing Romulans.
00:24:53Captain, your thoughts?
00:24:58What happens when they return to Romulus and tell their leaders that the Federation won't even fight back?
00:25:04I'm starting to lean toward attack.
00:25:06If we allow them to destroy our outposts with no repercussions, we run the risk of war.
00:25:11I have to believe there's another way forward.
00:25:13I think we should attack.
00:25:14Mr. Spock.
00:25:18If the Romulans are an offshoot of my Vulcan blood, which I believe, then attack is indeed the only option.
00:25:24Vulcan, like Earth, had its aggressive colonizing period.
00:25:27Savage, even by human standards.
00:25:29If the Romulans retain this martial philosophy, then weakness is something we dare not show.
00:25:36Well, if Spock and I can agree, then there's hope for all of us.
00:25:41We don't all agree.
00:25:44Hold a moment.
00:25:45Captain Pike, that comet we're approaching might just be the alternative that you've been looking for.
00:25:50Mr. Spock, can you put up the trajectory on screen, please?
00:25:55Currently, the Romulan ship is headed for the comet's tail.
00:25:57Now, I know that they're invisible, and we can't lock on to their exact position.
00:26:00But the second they go through that, particle distortion will reveal their location.
00:26:06And we'll be flanking them on either side.
00:26:08They'll be penned in, and we'll be able to get weapons lock.
00:26:10Good plan, Captain.
00:26:14Captain's personal log, Stardate 1709.2.
00:26:18Per Captain Kirk's plan, we are mounting a pincer move.
00:26:21Our two ships will slowly drift closer as the Romulans remain unaware.
00:26:24When they pass through the comet's tail, giving us their exact location, we will be in weapons range.
00:26:31Kirk, however, has agreed to my plan to neutralize, not destroy, the Bird of Prey, leaving open the possibility of dialogue.
00:26:38And yet, I remain concerned this brash young Starfleet captain follows his own rules.
00:26:44I can't help but wonder, is Kirk the reason I was sent here?
00:26:48If I wasn't here to stop him, would we be led into a war?
00:26:53Ortegas, maintain present course, but be ready.
00:26:55I'll keep my foot over the gas, just in case.
00:27:00I'm still tracking the gravitational presence of the Romulans.
00:27:04Their trajectory remains unchanged.
00:27:06Holding position.
00:27:07Let us know when you see them, Enterprise.
00:27:09We're passing through the tail.
00:27:10Any second now.
00:27:14Something isn't right.
00:27:28The captain is correct.
00:27:29We should have seen them by now.
00:27:30Enterprise.
00:27:31I don't like this.
00:27:33Reading gravitational signature again.
00:27:35It's behind the Farragut.
00:27:36Kirk, get out of there.
00:27:37Red alert.
00:27:38Red alert.
00:27:39Erica, close that distance as fast as you can.
00:27:41Attack pattern Tiberius IV.
00:27:44Stay with us.
00:27:54Get behind them.
00:28:05Fire!
00:28:05Oh yeah!
00:28:07Fire!
00:28:08Fire!
00:28:09Fire!
00:28:12Fire phasers, Captain.
00:28:22We're out of range.
00:28:23We're just as likely to hit you as them.
00:28:24Maybe you'll draw their fire.
00:28:26Mitchell, full phasers now.
00:28:33Holy, we actually clipped them.
00:28:35Nice shooting, Jenna.
00:28:36Neota, hail them.
00:28:37I want them focused on us.
00:28:38Hailing, sir.
00:28:40Keep firing.
00:28:42They're firing their plasma weapon.
00:28:54Brace for impact.
00:29:02Damage to decks six, seven, and nine.
00:29:04Their weapon control is down.
00:29:06That should have destroyed us.
00:29:07How are we still standing?
00:29:08They were shooting at a distance.
00:29:09Perhaps their plasma weapon is less effective
00:29:11when fired long range.
00:29:11Status of the Farragut.
00:29:14Critical.
00:29:15They will lose the life support inside of five minutes.
00:29:17I can get us there in 30 seconds.
00:29:18Pike to transporter.
00:29:19Get the pads warmed up, Chief.
00:29:20We're about to test their upper limits.
00:29:24Clear the pads.
00:29:25There's one more group behind us.
00:29:29Am I glad to see you?
00:29:33Well, um...
00:29:33I didn't know you were a hugger, Lieutenant.
00:29:36Oh, Commander?
00:29:40Or have you forgotten?
00:29:42Of course I haven't.
00:29:43Speaking of, when's the last time you talked to Una?
00:29:48Why, I can't talk to her.
00:29:51No one can.
00:29:53She's not allowed contact.
00:29:55Of course.
00:29:56Captain Pike, we need to talk.
00:30:00Now.
00:30:07You flinched.
00:30:10You deliberated.
00:30:11And we lost.
00:30:12We fired, Captain.
00:30:13And we were fired upon.
00:30:14That's why you're still here.
00:30:15From the start, you wanted to cripple them.
00:30:17Not take them out.
00:30:18We may have different points of view.
00:30:20But do not question my combat readiness, Captain.
00:30:23I'm saying caution means you're not going to put everything you have into the punch.
00:30:29And that's a good way to lose.
00:30:30Because your enemy will see that and act accordingly.
00:30:33All this because of a second's delay.
00:30:35Tell me I'm wrong, Captain.
00:30:38And I will back down.
00:30:40If you're saying you're more willing to take risks than I am, I don't disagree.
00:30:43And let me remind you that you're saying that on my ship after yours has been destroyed.
00:30:51Fair.
00:30:52I'm just saying.
00:30:54I underestimated him.
00:30:55I'm not going to do it again.
00:30:58Captains Pike and Kirk to the bridge.
00:31:00There is something you'll both want to see.
00:31:07Before they cloaked, I was able to scan the bird of prey.
00:31:10They are trailing trilithium fragments.
00:31:11Their power supply is damaged.
00:31:13I do not believe they have enough to make it back to Romulus.
00:31:15Do we know their position?
00:31:16Yes.
00:31:17On a heading for the neutral zone, we could overtake them.
00:31:19What's the status of our weapons?
00:31:20Our offensive capabilities are limited.
00:31:22Phasers are down.
00:31:23And torpedo launch tubes sustain damage in the attack.
00:31:26But the Romulans don't know that.
00:31:27They will if we pull up on their six and can't fire.
00:31:29Lieutenant Uhura, open a channel to the Romulan ship.
00:31:32Sir, they haven't responded to any of our hails before.
00:31:35I know.
00:31:36Open a channel.
00:31:37We're going to send them a message.
00:31:39What are you doing?
00:31:40I'm taking a risk.
00:31:48This is Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Enterprise.
00:31:52Our two cultures have been at war for a hundred years.
00:31:55Long enough that we don't even question that.
00:31:58But I believe we can make another choice.
00:32:00Right now.
00:32:01I'm offering you a temporary ceasefire so that we can talk.
00:32:07For the first time in a hundred years.
00:32:18Okay.
00:32:19That was unexpected.
00:32:21Well, they want to destroy us.
00:32:23But they also want to get home.
00:32:24Knowing what your opponent wants is key to a successful negotiation.
00:32:27That's assuming they can be negotiated with.
00:32:31Captain Pike?
00:32:33The Romulans are calling.
00:32:34Looks like we're about to find out.
00:32:37On screen, please, Neota.
00:32:43Captain Pike.
00:32:45It is good to make your acquaintance.
00:32:47Commander, I know your ships attacked our outposts on the edge of the Neutral Zone.
00:33:03But I also know that our two cultures have been at war for generations without ever having been face to face.
00:33:08I don't know why your ancestors attacked Earth or what my ancestors did in retaliation.
00:33:13I only know that we're paying a bill that was written long before you and I were ever born.
00:33:17Perhaps it's time we reconsider the cost.
00:33:20So, we can blow each other out of the sky using what little power we have left.
00:33:24Or we can try something different.
00:33:27We can explain ourselves to each other.
00:33:29Understand each other.
00:33:30Empathize.
00:33:31If we don't, this war between us will simply continue, unabated.
00:33:36And the cost for that is sure.
00:33:38Death.
00:33:39More.
00:33:41And more.
00:33:42Death.
00:33:43Our peoples are indeed different, Captain.
00:33:46In our culture, your words are a show of weakness.
00:33:50What chance does dialogue offer save to delay me?
00:33:54Why should I listen to you?
00:33:55Both our ships are damaged.
00:33:57Your cloak is unstable, which leaves you vulnerable to our weapons.
00:34:00Maybe you have enough power to attack us.
00:34:01Maybe you have enough power to get back to Romulus without repairs.
00:34:05Conversely, maybe we can marshal our weapons and destroy you before you make it to the Neutral Zone.
00:34:09Or perhaps we chase you across the border and destroy you and get out before anyone's the wiser.
00:34:14So what is it that you're suggesting, Captain?
00:34:17A good faith gesture.
00:34:19Two hours.
00:34:20Enough time to repair our ships and bury the dead.
00:34:22And maybe this bit of mercy will lead to something further and better between our two cultures.
00:34:28Two hours.
00:34:42Captain, they are lying.
00:34:55Romulans can't be trusted.
00:34:57They shot Farragut right in front of us.
00:34:58Stand down, Erica.
00:34:59You can't let them get away with it!
00:35:01Stand down!
00:35:06Yes, sir.
00:35:18Sensual readings suggest the Romulans have stopped forward movement.
00:35:21I wonder what they're doing over there.
00:35:29Hopefully.
00:35:32The same thing we are.
00:35:35Ceasefire.
00:35:36This is Federation weakness.
00:35:39Is it not the Romulan way to attack when we are given advantage like this?
00:35:43We're engaged in a ceasefire, Sub-Commander.
00:35:45We have two hours.
00:35:46Put all hands to repair our engines.
00:35:48If we do not, we will not make it back to Romulus.
00:35:50Sir?
00:35:51We should commit all hands to weapons repair.
00:35:54The Federation has given us the advantage.
00:35:57We can strike before this ridiculous ceasefire is completed.
00:36:07This is your fourth mission, is it not, Sub-Commander?
00:36:11Third, sir.
00:36:13I served with your uncle Tarkhan during the Reman campaign.
00:36:15Did you know that, Sub-Commander?
00:36:17I did.
00:36:18His death was a great victory for Romulus.
00:36:21Yes.
00:36:22He was brave.
00:36:24His commander, however, was a fool.
00:36:27He forced him to fight after we'd lost weapons, and the only logical choice was retreat.
00:36:31He did not have to die.
00:36:33Sir?
00:36:34His death was a waste.
00:36:36And it was stupid.
00:36:37It left us weaker.
00:36:38Now, I can say that because I'm old enough that I don't care what people think of me.
00:36:45Pride is not something we can afford.
00:36:48We look at the world clearly on my ship.
00:36:51We do not make choices based on ego.
00:36:54Engines first.
00:36:55Then weapons.
00:36:56That is my order.
00:36:58Or are you so arrogant you think you know better than your commander?
00:37:03No, sir.
00:37:05Good.
00:37:06Because I need you.
00:37:08I don't know if this peace game we're playing with the Federation will work, but I have to see it through.
00:37:14And if we achieve it, then...
00:37:16Good.
00:37:17But if not...
00:37:18War.
00:37:20Then you'll get your war.
00:37:21War.
00:37:22War.
00:37:23War.
00:37:24War.
00:37:24War.
00:37:24War.
00:37:24War.
00:37:24War.
00:37:25War.
00:37:25War.
00:37:26War.
00:37:27War.
00:37:28War.
00:37:29War.
00:37:30War.
00:37:31War.
00:37:32War.
00:37:33War.
00:37:34War.
00:37:35Do you want some coffee?
00:37:37I do not drink coffee.
00:37:39I do drink tea.
00:37:40All right.
00:37:41Would you like some tea?
00:37:42No, thank you, Captain.
00:37:46Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
00:37:50It's good to see you're still you, Spock.
00:37:55So many things have gone wrong today.
00:37:59The loss of Outpost Four, the destruction of the Farragut.
00:38:03Any one of them could set us on the path to a dark future.
00:38:07But I can't help feeling there's something worse to come.
00:38:14Typically, no one can know the future in the moment.
00:38:18One can only follow one's instincts and hope the truth will present itself.
00:38:23Spock, what happened to Una?
00:38:28She was sentenced to the Federation Penal Colony on Salia Six,
00:38:31where she has spent much of the last seven years.
00:38:34Why?
00:38:35Her deception.
00:38:39I am confused.
00:38:40Even years ago, I thought you knew.
00:38:45Come.
00:38:49If you'll excuse me, I wish to supervise the repair of the phaser array personally.
00:38:57Captain.
00:38:58I know you want me to change tack, but pride is just not something we can afford.
00:39:10You want me to tell you that I wouldn't have tried to blow those Romulans out of the sky?
00:39:15Well, I would've.
00:39:17But it wasn't my call.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:19We're here now.
00:39:20And the truth is, I don't know these Romulans can't be trusted.
00:39:27But I also don't know if they can.
00:39:30And neither do you.
00:39:32Fair enough.
00:39:36I'd like to explore a backup plan.
00:39:39If you'll give me the resources.
00:39:42I'm listening.
00:39:43Look, the Romulans just bought themselves some time.
00:39:46Sure, they can use that time to make repairs.
00:39:49But remember, they're on the edge of the neutral zone.
00:39:52They could also use it to call for reinforcements.
00:39:55So, what if we did the same?
00:39:58Just in case they decide to turn and fight after all.
00:40:02Jim, we're on the far edge of Federation space.
00:40:05It takes days to get a message to Starfleet.
00:40:07We're weeks away from help getting to us, even at maximum warp.
00:40:10But the Romulans don't know that.
00:40:19Captain Kirk.
00:40:22What are you suggesting?
00:40:24Captain Pike.
00:40:27Can I borrow a shuttle?
00:40:40Captain Kirk.
00:40:41Is all right?
00:40:52Try it now.
00:40:54Aye, that's the one.
00:40:56This is where the auto repair was getting hung up.
00:40:58It's pretty fused.
00:41:00I do not need to remind you that we have less than two hours
00:41:01We have less than two hours to restore phasor control to working order.
00:41:04I'm an engineer, not a medical worker, Mr. Spock.
00:41:09Two minutes, Captain.
00:41:10Status.
00:41:11We have engines, but weapon systems are not back online.
00:41:14Bridge to Spock. Status.
00:41:16Working on it, Captain.
00:41:18Working on it.
00:41:19Two hours, Captain. And... Mark.
00:41:31Open a channel to the Romulan ship.
00:41:37Have you repaired your ship, Commander?
00:41:39Have you repaired yours, Captain?
00:41:42Conventional wisdom suggests that our next move is to resume hostilities. To fight.
00:41:47You yourself told me that in your culture, to do anything else would be a sign of weakness.
00:41:51But let me tell you a way in which humans are not weak.
00:41:54Our strength comes from our willingness to see a partner instead of an enemy.
00:41:58In our culture, that is an act of faith and strength. Not a failure of character.
00:42:03Do Romulans have that kind of strength?
00:42:12I, too, tire of endless war.
00:42:28No!
00:42:29No!
00:42:30No!
00:42:31No!
00:42:32No!
00:42:33No!
00:42:34No!
00:42:35No!
00:42:36No!
00:42:37No!
00:42:38No!
00:42:39No!
00:42:40No!
00:42:41No!
00:42:42No!
00:42:43No!
00:42:44No!
00:42:45No!
00:42:46Why is the fleet here? I did not call for them.
00:42:48I alerted them of our situation, Commander.
00:42:50The Federation showed weakness.
00:42:53It is the Romulan way to strike.
00:42:55You were not going to.
00:42:57I took matters into my own hands.
00:42:59You disobeyed a direct order.
00:43:01Had you not negotiated with the Federation, I would not have needed to.
00:43:04We undertook this mission to test the strength of the Federation.
00:43:08They showed us they lack it.
00:43:10We should have destroyed them the moment they did.
00:43:12You don't remember a time without war.
00:43:15But I do.
00:43:17Who wins an endless war with the Federation?
00:43:19We will, Commander.
00:43:21An endless war, by definition, can never be won.
00:43:25Captain Pike will not trust my word now.
00:43:27What does that matter?
00:43:29He will be dead soon.
00:43:32Take him off the bridge.
00:43:35You're being hailed, sir.
00:43:52It's the Romulan flagship.
00:43:54On screen.
00:43:56Human.
00:43:58I am here to accept your unconditional surrender.
00:44:01Nice to meet you, too.
00:44:03I'm Captain Pike of the Federation Starship Enterprise, and you are?
00:44:06You may address me as Praetor.
00:44:08It is customary to kneel.
00:44:10As I'm not Romulan, you'll forgive me if I don't.
00:44:12Now, I'm confused.
00:44:14We're holding to our side of the Neutral Zone, as you are.
00:44:17Yet you demand our surrender?
00:44:19Captain, I have you surrounded.
00:44:21Surrender, or we will destroy you.
00:44:24You have one minute to comply.
00:44:26You know, I don't like her.
00:44:29Perimeter alert.
00:44:30We have ships incoming, sir.
00:44:32Dozens.
00:44:33More Romulans?
00:44:34No.
00:44:35They look like...
00:44:36ours.
00:44:51I've got a secure channel from the lead ship, sir.
00:44:54It's Captain Kirk.
00:44:56Chris, the reinforcements you ordered?
00:44:59Been a hundred years since the Federation has seen the Romulans.
00:45:03We didn't know what their ships look like,
00:45:05and so I figured they don't know what ours look like either.
00:45:08All robotic mining craft?
00:45:10Mining, hauling, not one of them manned.
00:45:13But to the Romulans, who's to say we aren't a Federation armada?
00:45:18You sneaky son of a bitch.
00:45:21It's enough to bluff with.
00:45:22I hope.
00:45:23Try not to get us in a real fight.
00:45:25I'll do my best.
00:45:26Thanks, Captain.
00:45:28It's my pleasure, Captain.
00:45:30Bridge to Spock.
00:45:32We really could use some phasers right about now.
00:45:34How's it going down there?
00:45:35We are making progress.
00:45:36The conduits are severely damaged.
00:45:38Work faster, Mr. Spock.
00:45:39We're going to need a weapon soon,
00:45:40and we're not going to need them at all.
00:45:41The Romulan creator is hailing us, sir.
00:45:43Keep the secure channel open for Captain Kirk
00:45:45so he can listen in.
00:45:49Ready to sell this?
00:45:51Ready as I'll ever be.
00:45:57By now, you've probably noticed
00:45:59our armada of Starfleet Delta-class attack ships.
00:46:03But we won't have to use them, will we, Brador?
00:46:06This is an act of unparalleled aggression
00:46:08on the border of our territory, Captain.
00:46:10No, just a standard training maneuver
00:46:12that happened to land our fleet here
00:46:13at the same time as yours.
00:46:15You want to know what actually is
00:46:16an act of unparalleled aggression?
00:46:19A Romulan bird of prey using cloaking technology
00:46:22destroying our neutral zone outposts.
00:46:24I know nothing of what you speak.
00:46:26That's okay.
00:46:27We'll send you a recording of it decloaking
00:46:28right before destroying outpost four.
00:46:39I see.
00:46:41The Romulan ship is decloaking and breaking formation.
00:46:47Heading our way.
00:46:48Praetor, what is this?
00:46:50This is a culling, Captain.
00:46:51That commander should not have allowed himself to be caught.
00:46:54Sir, it's the bird of prey we've been chasing.
00:46:58Neota, pause communication.
00:47:00Open a channel with the Romulan commander.
00:47:05Captain.
00:47:10So we see each other once again after all.
00:47:13What are you doing?
00:47:14Only what is asked of me.
00:47:16I never called for that armada.
00:47:17We could beam you and your crew aboard.
00:47:19You don't have to do this.
00:47:20It is not our way.
00:47:22I regret that we meet in this way.
00:47:25You and I are of a kind.
00:47:27In a different reality, I could have called you friend.
00:47:30What purpose will it serve to die?
00:47:33We are creatures of duty, you and I.
00:47:37Just one more duty to perform.
00:47:40Do not be upset.
00:47:41I have accepted my fate.
00:47:43Perhaps someday my sacrifice will lead to an end to this conflict between us.
00:48:06They're powering up weapons.
00:48:13The Romulan creator is hailing us again, sir.
00:48:44On screen.
00:48:47Our fleet is stronger now.
00:48:48And I am ready to accept your surrender.
00:48:50This is really how you want to end a hundred years of peace.
00:48:53What do Romulans care of peace?
00:48:55It means nothing to us.
00:48:56And your apparent affinity for it has sealed your fate.
00:48:59Thank you, Captain Pike.
00:49:00If not for your weakness, we would have never known what easy targets your Federation would be.
00:49:06Goodbye.
00:49:09Powering up weapons again.
00:49:10Evasive maneuvers, Erika. Patterns 8 of 3.
00:49:12Returns 8 of 3.
00:49:20Kirk, get back here. We're about to warp out.
00:49:22Roger that.
00:49:23Captain, warp engines aren't engaging.
00:49:25Erika?
00:49:27I'm sorry, sir.
00:49:28Sir, the drone ships are moving.
00:49:30Son of a bitch.
00:49:31Kirk, what are you doing?
00:49:32Covering your escape. Get those engines fixed.
00:49:35He's putting the drones between us and the Romulans.
00:49:45Captain Kirk has beams on board.
00:50:00Engines online, Captain.
00:50:02Hit it.
00:50:04Damage report.
00:50:05Report's coming from all decks.
00:50:06Captain.
00:50:07The Romulans are broadcasting on all known subspace frequencies.
00:50:21It's a declaration of war, sir.
00:50:22Against the Federation.
00:50:23Decks 5, 11, 12, and 22 are all reporting hull breaches.
00:50:36Weapons systems took a direct hit.
00:50:38Spook.
00:50:39Spook.
00:50:43Medical.
00:51:09Interview.
00:51:27You have to send one dove.
00:51:28Massive cerebral trauma.
00:51:58Major blood loss, spinal fractures, radiation burns across 40% of his body.
00:52:14I'm not sure that he will recover from this.
00:52:20But if he does, he will not be the same.
00:52:28I'm not sure that he will recover from this.
00:52:59I know what you're thinking.
00:53:04I was thinking the same thing when I went through this.
00:53:09That I traded my fate for Spock's?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:12This isn't going to help, but it gets worse.
00:53:19This war with the Romulans?
00:53:22Millions die.
00:53:23So far, it's still going on.
00:53:26Not only did you start something that should never have been started.
00:53:30The best chance at a lasting peace between the Federation and the Romulans in any timeline.
00:53:36Well, turns out he's lying in a biobed.
00:53:39We all want to think our future is important in our years and mine.
00:53:45It is.
00:53:47Just not the way you think.
00:53:50Time is, uh, it's complicated.
00:53:53But the monk showed me something simple.
00:53:58Every time we change the path, he dies.
00:54:04And he's got things to do.
00:54:10Fate of the galaxy type things.
00:54:14Paths diverge.
00:54:15But I am the result of one that should never have been taken.
00:54:24Hey, look at it this way.
00:54:27How many people get to give their life for someone twice in one day?
00:54:31See?
00:54:31Twice.
00:54:32Because there's two of us and we're both.
00:54:33Yeah, I-I got it.
00:54:35Got it.
00:54:36Oh, yeah.
00:54:51Come.
00:54:53Not interrupting, am I?
00:54:57No, I-
00:54:57No, really.
00:55:00I'm just, uh,
00:55:02talking to myself.
00:55:06Fancy a drink?
00:55:08Sure.
00:55:12You know, uh,
00:55:13I don't think I can explain it, but
00:55:18I think I was supposed to meet you.
00:55:25I get that feeling, too.
00:55:28I, uh, honestly just came by to check on you.
00:55:32I'm sorry things went down the way they did.
00:55:36You tried for something better.
00:55:40Tried and lost.
00:55:48Did it ever occur to you that sometimes you can't avoid a fight?
00:55:53If you had just chased that Romulan ship from the get-go and taken it out,
00:55:56maybe none of this would have happened.
00:56:01You're a good captain, Jim Carr.
00:56:05Enterprise would be lucky to have you.
00:56:08You thinking of retiring?
00:56:10No.
00:56:11Oh, no.
00:56:13No, not yet.
00:56:13So, come on over and have a seat, Captain.
00:56:22Tell me about yourself.
00:56:26Where are you from?
00:56:30I grew up in Iowa.
00:56:31My father, George.
00:56:32My father, George, was the first officer on the calvin before we moved to Tarzan.
00:56:36I don't know.
00:57:06Computer, delete file.
00:57:30Come.
00:57:32Captain.
00:57:35Am I interrupting?
00:57:37No.
00:57:38I'm very glad to see you.
00:57:41But you saw me only moments ago.
00:57:45Right.
00:57:46You left the briefing suddenly.
00:57:48It was uncharacteristic.
00:57:51Was it?
00:57:53But now your demeanor appears changed.
00:57:59Having heard the boy's name, I cannot help but wonder if this pertains to your future.
00:58:05Let's just say I think the universe is telling me that some fates are inescapable.
00:58:11And even if I could get out of mine, it might just fall to someone else.
00:58:17Someone you know?
00:58:19Yes.
00:58:20Is that why you are very glad to see me?
00:58:25I believe I may owe you a debt of gratitude, Captain.
00:58:29Although for precisely what I do not know.
00:58:31Spel, you are a...
00:58:35You are very important to me.
00:58:37As are you to me, Captain.
00:58:39Chris.
00:58:40I'm making memories I'd like to remember.
00:58:41I'm meeting new people I'd like to remember.
00:59:06I'm meeting new people, I'd like to recall, some of their names, like Larry and Steve, yeah, I'm making memories, that I can keep, tonight I'm making memories,
00:59:33I'd like to remember, I'm meeting new people, I'd like to recall, I'm making memories, I'd like to keep, yeah, I'm making memories, I'd show my keys,
00:59:57Captain, incoming message from Starfleet Command, Captain Patel is beaming on board, they want you and Commander Chin Riley to meet her in the transporter room,
01:00:13Captain Patel, I didn't think we'd be seeing each other so soon, I know Captain, and for the record, I'm sorry about this,
01:00:20What the hell is going on?
01:00:29Under Starfleet Code of Conduct 587.63, I am arresting Commander Unich and Riley for violations of our anti-genetic modification directive,
01:00:38She's an Elyrian Chris.
01:00:41I don't care what she is, she's-
01:00:43I don't like it either, I have orders.
01:00:47Captain!
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:50I've known this might happen for years.
01:00:57I didn't ask for this job, I really am sorry.
01:01:02So am I.
01:01:09Because this isn't over.
01:01:13Energize.
01:01:38We can't take a look at all.
01:01:40If you are in the app.
01:01:41We can't be careful.
01:01:42We can't take the look at all.
01:01:43We can't take a look at all.
01:01:44We can't take a look at all.
01:01:45We can't take a look at all.
01:01:46Thanks for that.
01:01:47We can't take that look at a moment.
01:01:48Do we have to be informed?
01:01:52Wow.
01:01:54There is a хочет.
01:01:55We can't take a look at all.
01:01:56We can't take a look at all.
01:01:59I don't care.
01:02:01This isn't over.
01:02:02You can't take time.
01:02:03You can't take a look at all.
