00:00Star Trek Strange New Worlds
00:28My sacrifice saved the lives of those I care most about
00:31It's time for me to go
00:33I've let something out
00:34It's your emotions
00:35I can't control it
00:36Mr. Kirk, clean your mess!
00:38Dupring and I have decided to take time apart
00:41I am conflicted because I have feelings for someone else
00:43I don't want to suppress this one any longer
00:46Those events were never supposed to happen
00:48And you were never meant to be aware of them
00:50I have to insist that you not share any of what you experienced from this time
00:55Buy me a direct next time we're on Starbase together
00:57That sounds lovely
00:59The people you love the most can cause you the most pain
01:03But it's the people you love that can mend your heart when you feel broken
01:07Communications Officer's Log, Stardate 2394.8
01:15Enterprise has been sent to Bannon's Nebula on the edge of explored space
01:20I've seen a lot of nebulas but this one's special
01:24It's a stellar nursery, the birthplace of new stars
01:28But that's not why we're here
01:30The nursery is also full of deuterium, starship fuel
01:34Starfleet's building an outpost here to collect and refine it
01:38If they can ever get it working
01:40Amazing to think that a million years from now
01:44Those brand new stars will shine down on explorers just like us
01:48This place will look entirely different by then
01:50Uhura, you awake there Ensign?
01:54My eyes are technically open, Captain
01:58Just didn't get much sleep last night
02:02Or the last 10
02:04Well, I appreciate all the work you've put into coordinating this mission
02:08But you generally only want to burn the candle at one end
02:10I'll take that under advisement
02:14The crew of the refinery sends their greetings
02:16And they're waiting for our engineering details
02:18Have Chief Cowell stand by to initiate transport
02:22I hear congratulations are on order, Fleet Captain
02:25Stop it
02:26Fleet Captain?
02:27I've been given command of the refinery and the Farragut
02:30Just until we get the station online
02:32Well, it's the shiniest gas station I've ever seen
02:35Well, it's not just a gas station, Lieutenant
02:37It's right at the edge of the frontier
02:39It unlocks half the quadrant
02:40It'll be the jumping off point for the next great age of exploration
02:43Oh, good
02:44I was afraid I'd missed the speech
02:46Well, I started earlier, but Uhura fell asleep
02:49I assume Starfleet's primary motivation
02:52Was the nebula's proximity to Gorn space
02:54Sadly, you're probably right
02:56Their presence is growing, this will help us counter it
02:58Which is why the refinery needs to be finished as soon as possible
03:01While the refinery is offline
03:02Enterprises collectors are operational
03:04Though the process may be slower
03:05It would be logical to use this opportunity to refuel ourselves
03:08My thoughts exactly, Mr. Spock
03:10Ortegas, find us a dense pocket of deuterium and do some laps
03:14Rip some donuts to the gas cloud, aye, sir
03:16Nice and slow, we don't want to use more fuel than we collect
03:18Activating Bessard collectors
03:20Refueling underway, Captain
03:31Sorry to interrupt, Captain, I'm receiving a signal
03:37On speakers?
03:39Any time, Ensign
03:43Any time, Ensign
03:44Uh...
03:46It's... gone
03:48Can you play by the recording?
03:50I can't find it, sir
03:52It was there, Captain
03:54It's probably just a glitching
03:55I'll run a full diagnostic on the communications system
03:57First disable the subspace antenna
03:59Check for a charge on the EPS manifold before disconnecting this tap
04:08Perfect
04:10Now, if there's any residual ionization, here is where you will find it
04:18Uh...
04:19What the hell are you doing inside my nacelle?
04:22Sorry, I am recalibrating the communications array
04:27The antenna assembly goes through the nacelles
04:29I like to be thorough
04:30And I've asked for so many of these recalibrations that
04:33Eventually, Hemmer got annoyed
04:35And said it would be easier to show me how to do it myself
04:39You know, teach a cadet to fish
04:42So we made a recording
04:44Hemmer was our chief engineer before he...
04:47I know
04:48He was one of my best students
04:54I'm sorry, I just said that because he's dead
04:57Actually, he was just okay
04:59But look
05:00Look what he made of himself
05:04Right
05:05Anyway, I'm almost done
05:10How come you never talked to me before?
05:14I...
05:15I'm sure I have
05:16Oh, no
05:18No, no
05:19Oh
05:22I'm sorry
05:23I've just been busy, I guess
05:26Welcome to the Enterprise
05:33Here is where you'll find it
05:35Now, what do you do next?
05:43I don't know
05:47I won't let you blow up the ship, I promise
05:53Bop-bop!
05:56Important lesson, be less gullible
05:58Hey!
05:59Back to work
06:00Back to work
06:01Let's start by turning down the gate on the subspace antenna
06:05We lost in the bulkhead
06:06We lost in the bulkhead, the whole project's been a fiasco
06:15The refinery was supposed to be online two months ago
06:18What's slowing it down?
06:20Organizational difficulties was the polite term the Starfleet used
06:24Their previous superintendent got shipped back to Earth
06:28Which is why they could really use your version of managerial fervor?
06:34Hmm, nothing beats cleaning up somebody else's mess
06:37Yes
07:05Space
07:08The final frontier
07:13These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
07:16It's five year mission
07:19To explore strange new worlds
07:25To seek out new life
07:27And new civilizations
07:32To boldly go
07:34Where no one has gone before
07:35before
08:05you
08:35based on what you heard and saw and the elevated readings from your visual cortex i'd say it's
08:59pretty clear you were hallucinate you said you had just watched a video of hammer his death was
09:06fresh in your mind starfleet officers aren't supposed to randomly hallucinate you didn't do
09:13anything wrong and there was nothing random about it while working in the nacelle you were exposed
09:19to a small amount of refined deuterium which can be dangerous you have a mild case of deuterium
09:26poisoning and that can cause terrifying hallucinations let's go you could also experience
09:33headaches blood vision nausea
09:35this should help with the symptoms
09:40but there is something else here the serotonin and cortisol levels
09:47you haven't been sleeping
09:49it's been a busy year
09:55exhaustion can exacerbate the effects of deuterium poisoning
09:59you need to rest
10:00how am i supposed to sleep after what i just saw
10:03i empathize
10:05but i also know a stubborn patient when i see one
10:11you aren't going back on duty until i'm satisfied you've slept
10:15head to deck seven get to work stabilizing the life support grid
10:35it's not as bad as it looks it's way worse
10:43the central refining and storage systems all seem to be in good shape
10:47have you looked at the maintenance logs because you get the feeling that this place has been
10:52breaking down a lot faster than the crew is able to fix it
10:57luckily we have three crews now enterprise and farragut's teams can mop up the problem systems
11:02while the stations team gets the refinery running yes but if there is an underlying issue
11:08and it smells like there is we ought to figure that out
11:12i typically don't base my decision making off of feelings and smells
11:17oh
11:18any underlying issues will become clear as we work
11:26aye aye commanda
11:40oh
11:46oh
11:50Hello?
12:20Sam!
12:34Jimmy. Welcome to the Enterprise.
12:38Hell of a ship.
12:42And they let you work here?
12:44What can I say? Captain Pike asks for the more handsome Kirk brother.
12:48You want a tour?
12:52As long as it ends at the bar.
13:00So, what's new and exciting in the world of Xenoanthropology?
13:06Literally everything in Xenoanthropology is new and exciting.
13:10But instead of giving you a long answer you don't actually care about, why don't we skip to your news?
13:16Wow. Sensing some hostility there, Sam.
13:20Not at all.
13:22Congrats, Jim.
13:24First officer of the Farragut.
13:26Well, not for another few months. I still have to train my replacement.
13:30Still, it's quite an achievement.
13:34And? Youngest first officer in the whole fleet. Youngest first officer ever, actually.
13:42I don't suppose you remember who held the record before you?
13:44Okay. That's what this is.
13:46It was George Kirk Sr., first officer of the Kelvin.
13:50Dad gave you his first name even if you choose not to use it, so I have to do something to keep up.
13:56You're making me look...
14:00Like what? Sam, what does my ambition have to do with you?
14:04Dad has a very old-fashioned idea of what a successful career looks like.
14:10What a fulfilling life looks like.
14:12And it just so happens, looks a lot like you.
14:15Well, if you're so worried about impressing Dad, then why are you wallowing in a science lab?
14:20Wallowing? Seriously?
14:22Records are made to be broken.
14:24I put in some legwork to beat this one. So what?
14:27We can make the old man proud in our own ways.
14:30Or... not at all.
14:47Finally! Okay. Life support's been stabilized.
14:50Are you kidding me?
14:54We need to send the team to Deck 5 to get the EPS regulators back online.
14:58Yes. Well, that is going to have to wait.
15:00One of my teams found something in the fuel distribution system.
15:04That system was online already. What were you...
15:08You disobeyed my direct orders and went digging around in the functioning system.
15:12If I had followed your orders to the ladder, you would never have found evidence of sabotage.
15:18Sabotage.
15:20Sabotage.
15:24Your move.
15:27I know.
15:29Is that not a polite euphemism for make your move faster?
15:32Am I boring you, Mr. Spock?
15:34Decidically not.
15:36Your move.
15:37There is a matter I've been meaning to discuss.
15:39Should I get a drink first? You sound serious.
15:40Starfleet is built on a command hierarchy.
15:42Fraternization can lead to... complications. As such, there are protocols...
15:43You want to tell Starfleet about us?
15:45If there is anything to tell.
15:46Your move.
15:47Your move.
15:48Relationships...
15:49Relationships...
15:50At least for humans, can be...
15:51Yes.
15:52Yes.
15:53No.
15:54No.
15:55No.
15:56No.
15:57No.
15:58No.
15:59No.
16:00No.
16:01No.
16:02No.
16:03No.
16:04No.
16:05No.
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:08No.
16:09No.
16:10No.
16:12relationships at least for humans can be quantum things like schrodinger's cat they exist or
16:27they don't depending on who's observing them not how quantum superposition actually works
16:35yeah i know it's a metaphor spock a messy one just like whatever this is my point is if we
16:46let starfleet or anyone else for that matter look inside the box then
16:53our quantum cat might disappear i'd just assume let it live see how big it grows
17:03your move excuse me ensign aren't you supposed to be resting sir yes but everybody ignores
17:11the orders part of doctor's orders i don't have deuterium poisoning when i saw a hammer on the
17:17turbo lift i heard the same sound that i heard on the bridge but i heard it on the bridge before i
17:21went into the nacelle before i was exposed to deuterium you believe your hallucinations began
17:26on the bridge logic would suggest that the simplest solution is often the correct one
17:32right you seem to be the only enterprise crew member affected scans show nothing in the sector
17:37that would explain your symptoms logic would suggest exposure to a known hallucinogen is a
17:42more likely source of hallucinations than nothing at all yeah i looked at your chart
17:47niota it's you have a textbook case of overwork and exhaustion i can prescribe you something to help
17:54you sleep sleeping is the last thing i want to do right now
17:57sorry i'm brandied
18:04coming right
18:05your uh vulcan buddy should protect his queen
18:11he was two moves away from checkmate until you distracted him now he's in trouble
18:17james kirk
18:20ufura you're sam's brother oh you're friends with sam
18:26look i really don't want to be hit on right now
18:30ah you're friends with sam
18:33come on nobody's hitting on anyone you sat next to me you just look like you could use a friend
18:40i appreciate the sentiment but i am not in the market for friends right now
18:47come on
18:56comes on
18:57you
18:57you
19:05you
19:08you
19:10you
19:11you
19:12you
19:13you
19:13you
19:15you
19:15you
19:16It's not real. It's not real.
19:21It's not real.
19:43You...
19:44I told you
19:49I am not hitting on you.
20:01I am so sorry.
20:03I can't believe I...
20:04Yeah, I can't believe it either.
20:06You seem so pleasant.
20:08I will walk you to sickbay.
20:10Dr. Urbenga will fix you up.
20:11Whoa, hold on.
20:12You really want to take me to sickbay
20:13and explain all this?
20:14I mean, it looked to me like
20:15you were seeing something
20:16that wasn't there.
20:17You got big enough problems
20:18to worry about
20:19without being written up
20:20for striking a superior officer.
20:22I have a dermal regenerator
20:24in my quarters.
20:25Come on.
20:27Ow, ow.
20:28You're making it worse.
20:29You're being a baby.
20:31I'm done.
20:32Oh.
20:32I think your nightmare visions
20:35are turning you into a sadist.
20:38You think it's all in my head.
20:42Of course not.
20:44Look, I've had deuterium poisoning
20:47and I've gone days without sleep,
20:50but I have never punched an officer
20:51because of either one.
20:53The point is,
20:54I am an exquisite judge of character
20:56and I believe you.
20:58There's something else going on here.
20:59And if you let me,
21:01I can help you figure out what.
21:02Okay, I triple checked sensor logs
21:05and there's nothing but deuterium out there.
21:07But something must be doing this to me.
21:11No one else has reported the same symptoms?
21:13Mbenga says I'm the only one.
21:15I'm the Enterprise, anyway.
21:17Good idea.
21:18I'll check in with the Farragut's doctor.
21:20Can I bring her your medical record?
21:28You gonna be okay alone?
21:31Yeah.
21:32Just, uh...
21:33Don't punch any more officers.
21:37until I get back.
21:53You know,
21:54this would be a lot easier
21:55if you'd gotten the station's lighting grid offline.
21:58Or the internal sensors.
21:59Yes, but if I had done that,
22:01we might have just exploded
22:03and never known why.
22:07It's too close.
22:11It's too close.
22:12It's too close.
22:13I can't breathe.
22:13Our saboteur is Starfleet?
22:15What is he saying?
22:19Get away from me.
22:21Get him away from me.
22:22Get him away.
22:24There's nothing there.
22:25Nobody's gonna hurt you.
22:26Is it real?
22:29It can't be real.
22:31It can't be real.
22:41Are you real?
22:42What's your name?
22:50Ramon.
22:53It's all Ramon.
22:54Lieutenant Ramon,
22:55why did you sabotage the station?
22:58Sabotage?
23:00That...
23:01It isn't real.
23:03It's not real.
23:05Enterprise.
23:08We have a medical emergency.
23:09We have a medical emergency.
23:09What's going on, Captain?
23:36Contact Starfleet.
23:37We're being attacked by an enemy.
23:39Anton Uhura.
23:53Anton Uhura.
23:58You're supposed to be on medical leave,
23:59are you not?
24:00As your captain,
24:09I need all my officers healthy,
24:11both physically and mentally.
24:12As your friend,
24:14I just want to help you understand what's happening.
24:16You know,
24:19the irony's not lost on me.
24:24The communications officer who can't communicate what's wrong with her.
24:28Come in.
24:28Come in.
24:34Lieutenant Kirk.
24:36That's right.
24:37It's an honor to meet you, sir.
24:39Congratulations on your promotion to fleet, Captain.
24:41Uh, it's temporary.
24:42I came to find Anton Uhura.
24:45I ran into her earlier, and I was concerned.
24:48As am I.
24:49As am I.
24:53Not the time.
24:54Got it.
24:55I heard one of the station's crew was arrested for sabotage.
25:00That's right.
25:00I had him beamed to sickbay for evaluation.
25:02Farragut's medical officer got a call about him yesterday.
25:05One of his friends was worried about him.
25:07Said he kept talking about seeing things that weren't there.
25:10Ring a bell?
25:20We need to know what you saw, Lieutenant.
25:21It's the only way we can help you.
25:23He might not understand us.
25:26And there's significant damage to the speech and language centers of his brain.
25:33And it's getting worse.
25:35His auditory nerves are firing wild.
25:40I'm fine.
25:52Go after him.
25:53Security to death four!
25:55This isn't real.
25:58Yoda, wake up.
25:58This isn't real.
25:59This is...
26:00Uhura, this is very real, okay?
26:03You aren't imagining it.
26:05Okay.
26:07We have to stop Ramon before he hurts anyone else.
26:10Come on.
26:26Emergency lighting activated.
26:28Okay.
26:29What do you think?
26:29Nothing.
26:29Okay.
26:29I don't know.
26:29I don't know.
26:30I don't know.
27:00Sieg Bay, we need immediate medical assistance outside astrometrics.
27:16Acknowledged.
27:17Send in a medic.
27:19Captain, Ramon will cut the power conduits.
27:22That's why it went dark.
27:23Definitely going to make finding him harder.
27:25Stay with her.
27:26Ramon's headed towards engineering.
27:30You okay?
27:39I'm fine.
27:46Okay, maybe not.
27:51James?
27:52James?
27:52I got you.
28:15What happened?
28:16Sorry, I can't.
28:17I should just go back to Sieg Bay.
28:19I'll walk back with you.
28:20No, you keep searching for Ramon.
28:23I'll be fine.
28:25I promise.
28:26No, you won't.
28:33No, you won't.
28:35No, you won't.
28:35No, you won't.
28:36No, you won't.
28:41I'll be fine.
28:41James.
28:57You two know each other?
28:58No, it's not the time to explain, Captain.
29:00If you haven't seen Ramon, then...
29:02He must have found a hole to hide in.
29:04We should double back.
29:11Who are the all-teams?
29:39I may have found Lieutenant Ramon
29:41in the access tunnel to the port in his cell.
29:43I'm not far. Wait for me.
30:03Step away from the console.
30:09Listen, the things you've been seeing
30:14have been seeing them, too.
30:16I understand.
30:17But whatever it is you saw
30:19that made you come here,
30:20it wasn't real.
30:22None of it.
30:24But I am.
30:29My name is Neota.
30:31I'm the communications officer.
30:33I was born in Kenya.
30:35I used to have a cat named Camille.
30:37My first memory
30:38is watching my dad play the piano.
30:42I'm real.
30:48Ramon.
30:50Please.
30:52I am begging you.
30:55Step away from the console.
30:56I don't want to pull either of us up.
31:02Please.
31:04Fuel pod ejection sequence initiated.
31:14Emergency transport.
31:15Beam us out now.
31:16Wait!
31:16Wait!
31:16Wait!
31:17Wait!
31:18Wait!
31:19Wait!
31:20Wait!
31:21Wait!
31:22Wait!
31:23Wait!
31:24Wait!
31:25Wait!
31:26Wait!
31:36Two dead.
31:37Chief medical officer in surgery.
31:39The ship almost disabled,
31:40and we have no idea why.
31:41When Ramon was in sickbay,
31:43he seemed to be hearing the same sound
31:44I've been hearing.
31:49The way I see it, that's good news.
31:51You're not crazy.
31:54Something is affecting you.
31:56The same way it affected him.
31:58And we're gonna figure out what.
32:02I think you should confine me to my quarters, Captain.
32:06Why?
32:06How long until I'm sabotaging the ship, or jumping out of an airlock?
32:13It won't come to that, I promise you.
32:15Now I need to talk to Commander Chin Riley and find out how much damage Ramon did to the
32:19refinery.
32:20Getting it online is critical, but since Lieutenant Ramon is deceased, Starfleet gave me permission
32:25to decrypt his personal logs and private medical files to decrypt his personal logs and private medical files.
32:29Maybe there's answers in there.
32:31James Cook. Sam's brother.
32:35La'an Noonien Singh. Stickler for orderly security records.
32:40Well, were you injured?
32:56Uh, no. I am just, uh, waiting for Ensign Uhura.
32:59Oh. Right. I didn't know you were friends.
33:03Oh, we just met. I happened to be there when she needed some help. Although she seems like the type
33:08who has trouble asking anyone for help, especially her friends.
33:12And you're the type who can't walk past a stranger in need.
33:22What?
33:27My, uh, my dad was in Starfleet. My mom, my brother, and I, we spent my whole childhood chasing him from
33:34one posting to another, barely seeing him. When I'd ask why, my mom would always say,
33:45he's helping people who really need it.
33:51But when you're a kid, you think...
33:53Why does he care more about strangers than he does about me?
33:56So you tell yourself, hey, if my dad chose helping total strangers over me, it must,
34:09must be important. As one of those strangers that Starfleet helped, I promise you, it is.
34:16I, uh, I should finish my rounds. Good evening, Lieutenant.
34:30I haven't forgotten that drink you owe me, by the way.
34:41Looks like the routing system is almost back online.
34:46You should be on Enterprise supervising the repairs there.
34:50That's what I told him, but Captain Pike disagrees. Getting the station online remains the first priority.
34:57I gotta know. What exactly is your problem with me?
35:01I don't have a problem with you. I have a problem with the situation.
35:05That is malarkey. And you know it.
35:09You're sloppy, okay? You don't respect protocols, you're too loose with discipline, you don't follow
35:15orders unless you feel like it, and you have crumbs on your uniform. When did you even eat? You're like...
35:23a space hippie.
35:24Oh, but I have been called more names than there are stars in the sky, but space hippie is a new one on me.
35:33I think you've gotten too used to being the smartest person in the room.
35:38I don't think I'm the smartest person in the room.
35:40Oh, sure you do. You hide behind order and discipline because it kills you when someone has the nerve to question your decisions.
35:52You think my years of experience should buy me any difference?
35:56You've been in Starfleet since before I was born, but I outrank you. Why do you think that is?
36:09I'll have the station online in a few hours.
36:15I swear I saw John standing in the mess hall like he never...
36:20like he was still alive. I tried to say something to him and everyone just stared at me.
36:25They thought I'd lost my mind. And that noise...
36:30I think I am losing my mind.
36:37He was having the same kind of hallucinations as me.
36:41Hearing the same sound. His... his brain scans show activity in the same region.
36:47But his case was more severe.
36:49Or it just started earlier.
36:50I mean, based on the dates of these logs, I may be...
36:58A day and a half from losing my mind entirely.
37:02Look, why don't we just take a break, all right? Update Captain Pike on our progress.
37:07Or lack thereof. Maybe get something to eat.
37:10I hear the mess is serving real cookies. Not from the matter synthesizer.
37:15I don't need a cookie.
37:17Okay, now you sound crazy.
37:25I'm sorry, it was a dumb joke.
37:27It's not a joke.
37:33That's the problem.
37:39This isn't the first time I've seen something like this.
37:43Imagine someone who isn't there.
37:47A few years ago, I lost my parents and my brother in a shuttle accident.
37:57I wasn't there when it happened.
37:59I never saw the crash site, but...
38:03After they died, it felt like every time they closed my eyes, I'd see it.
38:10The crash. Their final moments.
38:17I don't know what to say except...
38:20I'm sorry.
38:23It got so bad, I couldn't even look at pictures of them.
38:27Just...
38:29Seeing their faces.
38:34And then Hammer died, and it all came back.
38:37But I kept covering it with work, and smiles, and more work.
38:44The truth is, I've never been able to face death.
38:48Everyone has some way of dealing with it and moving on, but I just...
38:58I don't know how.
39:01How can I be a Starfleet officer if I can't handle death?
39:04Maybe you can.
39:11Look, I could tell you some comforting fairy tale.
39:15But we both know the truth.
39:18Our job puts us up against death more than is fair.
39:23And we might not like it, but we do have to face it.
39:26And right now, death is winning.
39:32It claimed your family.
39:33It claimed your friend.
39:35It convinced you to forget them.
39:38Because it's less painful than holding on to their memories.
39:44Now, you can let death win.
39:46Or you can fight back.
39:51Hold on to them.
39:57Still none of that cookie?
40:05Be right back.
40:06I'm sorry.
40:24Not bad.
40:29Important lesson.
40:30Be less gullible.
40:31Hey!
40:34Let's start with dialing down the gain on the subspace antenna.
40:38Or else you'll burn out the receiver.
40:47Burn out the receiver?
40:48Got the last one.
40:58Thought we could split it.
40:58Forget about the stupid cookie for a second.
41:01I think I figured something out.
41:04Ramon's brain scan.
41:06What am I supposed to be noticing?
41:08There was damage to the language center of his brain.
41:11My brain scan shows elevated activity in the same spot.
41:14And we were both hearing that same sound.
41:18What if someone or some thing was trying to communicate with him?
41:23With me?
41:24But their signal's too strong.
41:28So strong that it burned out that area of his brain entirely.
41:31It's a message from some...
41:35invisible alien?
41:39You want to talk to Sam, don't you?
41:41Your symptoms started once we arrived in the nebula, right?
41:46So it makes sense that our mystery alien would live here.
41:49But our sensors aren't showing any life forms.
41:51Well, there's a theory.
41:53It's a little bit fringe, but hear me out.
41:55That extra-dimensional life forms could actually poke into our space
41:59and attach themselves to atoms from our dimension.
42:03Meaning they aren't sophisticated life forms capable of speech or even language.
42:07There are similarities in the ways different species process thoughts, ideas.
42:13That's how the universal translator works, by recognizing those similarities.
42:17Maybe my brain is doing the same thing?
42:20Invisible aliens are using your brain as a universal translator.
42:24It might be the only way they know how to communicate.
42:27They send simple ideas to the language center of my brain.
42:30Then my brain interprets those ideas the only way it can, through my thoughts, my memories.
42:36The visions, they're like vocabulary.
42:41What are they trying to say?
42:42I felt the walls closing in because they feel trapped.
42:52I was attacking myself because we're responsible.
42:58They showed me the ship exploding because they're desperate to break free, but...
43:04We're killing them.
43:07Killing the ones they love and they're terrified.
43:10And that's what they're making me feel.
43:13If they're living in the nebula, in the deuterium...
43:15In a way, they are the deuterium.
43:18So then when we pull the deuterium out of the nebula into our nacelles,
43:22and when the station processes and refines it...
43:24We're basically torturing them.
43:26A horror to Captain Pike.
43:27Sir, we need to stop the fuel refinery from being activated.
43:31I'm not sure what's going on, Ensign, but it's too late.
43:33The refinery was activated five minutes ago.
43:39Captain, you have to shut down the station. It's a matter of life or death.
43:49I'll contact Duna and do what I can.
43:52Nothing's working.
43:53The refinery's automated systems aren't responding to any commands.
43:55It's not shutting down.
43:57Perhaps Lieutenant Ramon did more damage than we thought.
44:01A great bridge.
44:16A great bridge.
44:26Keep going.
44:56You all right?
45:11The station's emergency shutdown procedures aren't working.
45:14You mind telling me why we need to shut it down in the first place?
45:16We believe there's some sort of alien life...
45:18We're killing them, Captain.
45:19The creatures that live in the deuterium and the nebula were killing them
45:29by pulling them into our fuel pods and our nacelles.
45:33And now the station's doing the same thing, but at a much larger scale.
45:36But we can't see them or detect them in any way.
45:39I can hear them.
45:42So could Ramon.
45:43They're screaming for our help.
45:45Ramon died trying to save them.
45:48Captain, you told me the point of this station was to help us find new forms of life.
45:54But what is the point of exploring if we're just going to kill what we find?
45:59We can't shut it down.
46:00Then we need to destroy it.
46:11How certain are you?
46:14I'm certain, Captain.
46:18What's the plan?
46:22Kill the refinery.
46:24Order an emergency evacuation.
46:26Then vent all the deuterium from Enterprise's fuel pods.
46:30Order the Farragut to do the same.
46:33You heard her.
46:34I assume.
46:36Attention.
46:36All the refinery crew and maintenance teams.
46:39Evacuate the enemy.
46:40Repeat.
46:41All the...
46:42No life signs aboard.
46:51All crew have safely cleared the refinery.
46:53Fire torpedoes!
46:56Torpedoes away.
46:56Did that work?
47:19Ohura, what is it?
47:21Ohura, what is it?
47:23You did it.
47:29You're safe.
47:35That's it?
47:37Yeah.
47:42That's it.
47:50The jumping off point for a new era of exploration.
47:54You know, Starfleet can build a new gas station someplace else.
48:01One where there isn't anything living in the deuterium.
48:04And if there's any blowback, it's on me.
48:06And today, that was my call.
48:07Okay?
48:09Or we can tell them someone's brash influence rubbed off on you.
48:12Always happen to be of service.
48:16You know, I was thinking, you discovered a completely new form of life.
48:21They might give you a medal.
48:24And now, if you don't mind, would you take your station?
48:31Hail the Farragut.
48:32As soon as we've collected all of our escape pods, let's get out of this nebula before we
48:36cause any more damage.
48:37And then, I am going to need Admiral Nagawa on my private channel.
48:41And after that, go take a nap.
48:45That's an order.
49:04Starship Maintenance 307.
49:07Starship Maintenance, what about it?
49:10You were my professor at the Academy.
49:13Oh, I remember.
49:15You gave me a C.
49:18And you deserved that C.
49:20My final paper was meticulously researched.
49:23It was sloppy.
49:26But for what it's worth, that well-deserved C is absolutely not what's been bothering you.
49:32It's Emma.
49:32Emma, I'm a reminder that your friend died and I replaced him.
49:38And every time you see me, it treches up all that sadness.
49:43Yes, I get it.
49:47I've been there.
49:50Too many times.
49:56And if you want to keep saying,
49:59it's the sea,
50:00I don't have to contradict you.
50:02I don't have to do it.
50:03I don't have to do it.
50:03I don't have to do it.
50:04I don't have to do it.
50:05I don't have to do it.
50:05I don't have to do it.
50:06I don't have to do it.
50:06I don't have to do it.
50:07I don't have to do it.
50:07I don't have to do it.
50:08I don't have to do it.
50:08I don't have to do it.
50:09I don't have to do it.
50:09I don't have to do it.
50:10I don't have to do it.
50:11I don't have to do it.
50:11I don't have to do it.
50:12I don't have to do it.
50:13I don't have to do it.
50:13I don't have to do it.
50:14I don't have to do it.
50:15It's your family?
50:34My mother always knew how to make me laugh.
50:40It's been a long time since I've been able to look at that.
50:45To staying in the fight.
50:54Why do you think they chose me?
50:56You were exactly what they needed.
50:59Thoughtful, empathetic.
51:01You heard them.
51:02I mean, maybe all it took was a good listener.
51:07Well, I'm glad to see that everything worked out for the best.
51:10And I think I'm going to write a paper about our deuterium, friends.
51:15Oh, wow.
51:17Sounds thrilling.
51:20I've been wanting to say, the Farragut is lucky to have you, Jim.
51:26I'm proud of you.
51:28Honestly.
51:28Thanks, Sam.
51:43What is happening right now?
51:47I'm not sure either.
51:49You're seriously not going to apologize?
51:50For what?
51:51For being extremely competent?
51:53For being a...
51:54Okay.
51:56You know what?
51:57Forget it.
51:58Go have fun on your stupid little ship.
52:00I'm going to be here on the flagship.
52:07Well, that was...
52:10Something.
52:10Yeah, it's just Sam being Sam.
52:13Sometimes he can be, uh...
52:14Frustrating.
52:15James, meet our chief science officer, Mr. Spock.
52:23Spock, meet James Kirk, first officer of the Farragut.
52:28Why don't you join us?
52:33Yeah.
52:37So, the math of that is still...
52:39My brain is...
52:40No, I know.
52:41It's just...
52:42I know.
52:42But...
52:43I do, too.
52:44He does love it.
52:45So, interestingly, about the part of a الف...
52:58for the others...
52:59Goodbye.
53:07Bye-bye.
53:11Bye-bye.
53:11Bye-bye.
53:12Bye-bye.
53:12Bye-bye.
53:13Bye-bye.
53:13Bye-bye.
53:14Bye.
53:14Bye.
53:14Bye-bye.
