00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,680
[chuckles]
181
00:14:07,722 --> 00:14:09,224
[whispering] Yeah.
182
00:14:12,394 --> 00:14:14,688
Nothing has to change.
183
00:14:14,688 --> 00:14:16,773
It's too late for that, Jean-Luc.
184
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:21,820
That's been clear to both of us
for some time now, I imagine.
185
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:25,407
Going forward,
it would all be too... awkward.
186
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,410
And I'm too old for awkward.
187
00:14:29,244 --> 00:14:34,082
Now, have you any idea how hard it is
to be late in the age of transporters?
188
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:36,585
And yet, somehow... [sighs] ...you manage.
189
00:14:38,628 --> 00:14:44,467
[Picard through speakers] We often
refer to space as the final frontier.
190
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:51,391
But, the older I get,
the more I come to believe...
191
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:57,981
{\an8}that the true final frontier is time.
192
00:15:01,026 --> 00:15:03,987
{\an8}In Command, as in life...
193
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:10,785
what we do in crisis
often weighs upon us less heavily
194
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:14,247
than what we wish we had done.
195
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:17,709
What could have been.
196
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:22,130
Time offers many opportunities,
197
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:26,301
but it rarely offers second chances.
198
00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:30,305
And as steps forward go...
199
00:15:32,182 --> 00:15:35,644
I would like to acknowledge
your classmate.
200
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:40,523
The first fully Romulan cadet
at Starfleet Academy.
201
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:41,691
Elnor.
202
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,360
[applause]
203
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:57,040
[Picard] May you all go boldly
into a future
204
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,669
free from the shackles of the past.
205
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:05,590
I stand before you...
206
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,345
the last Picard.
207
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:16,226
My ancestor captained the second ship
208
00:16:16,226 --> 00:16:18,728
behind Jacques Cartier.
209
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:23,775
A great-great cousin, Renée Picard,
210
00:16:23,775 --> 00:16:28,780
was instrumental in early exploration
of this solar system.
211
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:32,492
Yet, I choose to leave you...
212
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:37,956
with the words of my mother...
213
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:41,626
who was no explorer at all.
214
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:44,337
When I was a boy...
215
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:49,342
she would point to the night sky and say,
216
00:16:49,426 --> 00:16:51,636
"Look up, Jean-Luc.
217
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:57,142
And let's see what's out there."
218
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,228
[whirring]
219
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:11,948
[alarm wailing]
220
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:34,679
[speaking alien language]
221
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:43,980
- [grunts]
- Psst.
222
00:17:44,856 --> 00:17:46,149
[in Spanish]
There's something going on outside.
223
00:17:46,149 --> 00:17:47,817
I'm a little occupied at the moment.
224
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:49,861
[in Spanish] Do what you want.
I'm just letting you know.
225
00:17:49,861 --> 00:17:51,946
[pirate] Come on out, freak.
226
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,950
Show me your ugly Borg face.
227
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:04,000
[grunting]
228
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,800
[panting] Let's try this another way.
229
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,719
The medical supplies
you are attempting to steal
230
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:16,554
are the property of the Fenris Rangers.
231
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:18,014
If you leave now--
232
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,437
Emmet, a little help here, please?
233
00:18:29,234 --> 00:18:30,109
[yawns]
234
00:18:32,195 --> 00:18:33,780
[grunts]
235
00:18:34,697 --> 00:18:36,324
[both grunting]
236
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,326
[in Spanish] Helpless here, my sister.
237
00:18:38,326 --> 00:18:41,955
[grunting] Computer, disengage
hologram safety protocols.
238
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:44,332
- [computer] Safety protocols deactivated.
- [grunts]
239
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:46,751
[grunts]
240
00:18:55,593 --> 00:18:56,928
[panting]
241
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:01,307
[grunts]
242
00:19:03,852 --> 00:19:04,853
Thanks.
243
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,605
[in Spanish] The pleasure is mine!
244
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:11,901
[sighs] We need to fix this.
245
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:13,570
[sighs]
246
00:19:15,905 --> 00:19:16,906
[grunts]
247
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:20,702
[in Spanish] You ever consider
a flesh and blood crew?
248
00:19:20,702 --> 00:19:21,619
No.
249
00:19:21,703 --> 00:19:22,954
[beeping]
250
00:19:26,124 --> 00:19:27,500
[in Spanish] Of course...
251
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:34,382
a lifetime of humans reacting
with fear and prejudice...
252
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:36,551
to your Borg enhancements...
253
00:19:38,219 --> 00:19:42,223
...may have inhibited developmentally
appropriate relationship skills.
254
00:19:42,307 --> 00:19:43,850
Stop talking.
255
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:49,147
- [in Spanish] You're the boss.
- I never should've merged the holos.
256
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:51,733
There's gotta be a way to disable
your therapeutic plug-ins.
257
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:55,987
[in Spanish] You won't hear it from me.
258
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:01,242
Here it is.
259
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:05,663
You were saying? About outside?
260
00:20:05,747 --> 00:20:07,832
[in Spanish] Subspace distortion,
261
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:13,755
tachyon fluctuations, and a massive
spike in Hawking radiation.
262
00:20:13,755 --> 00:20:15,173
Show me.
263
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:16,633
[beeping]
264
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:21,137
[radio chatter]
265
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:28,394
What the hell is that?
266
00:20:44,869 --> 00:20:45,954
[water lapping]
267
00:20:45,954 --> 00:20:48,081
[Soji] If I may, I'd like to make a toast.
268
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,834
[in alien language]
To open one's heart to another's...
269
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:55,338
to temper one's fear with trust...
270
00:20:55,338 --> 00:20:57,465
to offer friendship...
271
00:20:57,465 --> 00:20:59,592
is an act of bravery.
272
00:20:59,676 --> 00:21:02,553
Thank you.
273
00:21:02,637 --> 00:21:03,930
[guests chuckle]
274
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:07,016
We've been touring the galaxy
for over a year
275
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,435
since the Federation
ended the ban on synthetics,
276
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,188
and in that time I've learned one thing.
277
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:15,358
You can't ask for trust
through an interpreter.
278
00:21:15,358 --> 00:21:16,943
It needs to come from here.
279
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:18,820
Through here.
280
00:21:19,570 --> 00:21:21,739
[in alien language]
True connection can only be forged...
281
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:27,996
- when the heart has spoken.
- [applause]
282
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:32,041
She runs one subroutine on toasts
and she's the belle of the ball.
283
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:33,501
[chuckles]
284
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:35,211
She certainly is impressive.
285
00:21:36,379 --> 00:21:38,256
Wow. S--
286
00:21:38,256 --> 00:21:39,424
Right.
287
00:21:39,424 --> 00:21:40,550
May I?
288
00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:43,219
- [laughter]
- I don't bite.
289
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:44,887
[chattering]
290
00:21:46,889 --> 00:21:50,018
I just wanted to see what hands
could create such a wonder.
291
00:21:50,018 --> 00:21:51,269
[clears throat]
292
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:53,771
You're flirting, right?
293
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:57,275
This is how really pretty people flirt,
isn't it? Oh.
294
00:21:58,067 --> 00:21:59,193
[slurps]
295
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:01,988
You know, look,
I'm half in the bag anyway,
296
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:03,906
so I'm gonna give you a little advice.
297
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:07,035
Uh, my longest-lasting
intimate relationship,
298
00:22:07,035 --> 00:22:09,996
including the one that I just ended,
is less than a year.
299
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:13,374
I was recently cleared
of murdering my previous boyfriend
300
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:16,044
due to alien-induced temporary insanity,
301
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:20,673
so I'm not exactly dating material,
you know?
302
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:24,010
[comms chirps]
303
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:25,303
Oh, thank God.
304
00:22:25,928 --> 00:22:27,180
[Rios through comms] Confused.
305
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:30,516
"Never talk to me again" was literally
the last thing you ever said to me.
306
00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:32,435
In the nick of time.
307
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:35,646
I thought I was going to have to break
into a medley of Deltan folk songs.
308
00:22:35,730 --> 00:22:37,815
A hard-to-replace opportunity, to be sure.
309
00:22:37,899 --> 00:22:40,735
[Soji] I know, Rios called. You're going.
310
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:43,571
I'm staying here to continue
being charmingly diplomatic.
311
00:22:43,571 --> 00:22:46,157
If by heard, you mean you eavesdropped
on my private comms link
312
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:47,492
using your super robot hearing.
313
00:22:47,492 --> 00:22:51,621
Well, you did ask me to monitor you
for any potential drunk hailing incidents,
314
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:54,082
so I extended the caution
to drunk answering.
315
00:22:54,082 --> 00:22:56,542
I feel like that's an exploitation
of a technicality.
316
00:22:56,626 --> 00:22:58,669
I'll call as soon as I know
when we'll be back.
317
00:22:58,753 --> 00:23:00,671
I have a feeling you're gonna be
just fine without me.
318
00:23:00,755 --> 00:23:02,507
- And what about you and, you know.
- Yeah.
319
00:23:02,507 --> 00:23:05,384
I have to confess, the whole
"we can totally still work together" thing
320
00:23:05,468 --> 00:23:06,928
made a lot more sense back on Earth.
321
00:23:06,928 --> 00:23:10,515
I would never say "I told you so."
322
00:23:10,515 --> 00:23:13,726
But his new job does come
with a lot of pressure.
323
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:15,728
Please, how hard can it be?
324
00:23:15,812 --> 00:23:17,563
- [comms beeps]
- One to beam up.
325
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,443
[chattering]
326
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,866
- So, what's the big hurry, Captain?
- [beeping]
327
00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:31,327
Shelve that. There's no time.
Give me a sec.
328
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:34,956
Kemi, get us there as fast as you can,
short of flying us through a sun.
329
00:23:34,956 --> 00:23:36,749
- Comms, anything yet?
- Nothing, Captain.
330
00:23:36,833 --> 00:23:38,709
- Keep trying.
- [control panel beeping]
331
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:42,338
Lieutenant Urtern, I'll need offensive
and defensive strategy reports.
332
00:23:42,338 --> 00:23:45,049
I don't wanna get there
without a possible engagement plan.
333
00:23:46,717 --> 00:23:49,095
- You good?
- Yes, sir.
334
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,638
Always on point. Thank you.
335
00:23:50,638 --> 00:23:54,350
Sorry, some kind of subspace anomaly
Starfleet's ordered us to investigate.
336
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:56,060
I could use you on this one.
337
00:23:56,144 --> 00:23:58,604
Your-- Your brain, I mean.
338
00:23:58,688 --> 00:24:01,732
Well, that's kind of kind.
339
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:04,694
Course set, Captain.
340
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,612
[speaking Spanish] Dale.
341
00:24:08,114 --> 00:24:09,657
[speaking English] Make it so.
342
00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:10,741
Hmm.
343
00:24:10,825 --> 00:24:12,702
The pressure of legacy.
344
00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:14,745
[chuckles] It's your own fault, you know.
345
00:24:14,829 --> 00:24:18,833
No one told you to accept
a command with baggage.
346
00:24:42,064 --> 00:24:46,319
[ship powering up]
347
00:24:53,659 --> 00:24:56,954
[Starfleet officer] Bri'oon Raul,
assignment: the Hikaru Sulu.
348
00:24:57,038 --> 00:25:00,374
Cadet Maxwell Nagata, assignment:
the Grissom.
349
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:03,127
Please report to your designated
transport berths.
350
00:25:03,211 --> 00:25:05,713
Cadet Bri'oon Raul, assignment:
the Hikaru--
351
00:25:05,713 --> 00:25:07,256
So how are things?
352
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,927
I'm considering an update
of the Kobayashi Maru.
353
00:25:10,927 --> 00:25:13,221
- Good. I hate that test.

354
00:25:13,221 --> 00:25:18,392
Well, I am very happy to be Chancellor
of the Academy, thank you very much.
355
00:25:18,476 --> 00:25:20,269
Mm-hmm. Sure.
356
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:25,191
It forces you to focus on Starfleet
instead of, you know, you.
357
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:29,111
- And how is Seven these days?
- [chuckles]
358
00:25:29,195 --> 00:25:30,404
Touché.
359
00:25:30,488 --> 00:25:31,656
[announcer, indistinct]
360
00:25:31,656 --> 00:25:33,032
You know Seven.
361
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:35,117
There's always folks out there in trouble.
362
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:37,828
What kind of asshole needs
to be more important than that?
363
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,999
But you would like to be, to her.
364
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:48,297
[sighs] I guess, she has me
hoping for something more.
365
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:50,841
You wouldn't understand.
366
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:54,178
I-I mean, of-of course--
of course you'd understand.
367
00:25:54,262 --> 00:25:59,100
It's just that, at the end of the day,
you two are so damn self-sufficient. I--
368
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,185
Happy to travel the stars, uh...
369
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:04,313
Hell, I wonder if either of you
even get lonely.
370
00:26:08,943 --> 00:26:11,988
[announcer through speakers]
Cadet Elnor. Assignment: the Excelsior.
371
00:26:13,656 --> 00:26:14,991
Elnor.
372
00:26:15,616 --> 00:26:18,536
Admiral Picard. I'd hoped to see you
before my departure.
373
00:26:18,536 --> 00:26:20,663
- Exciting time.
- Yes.
374
00:26:20,663 --> 00:26:21,998
I'm very excited.
375
00:26:23,124 --> 00:26:27,545
But I'm also worried my excitement
may be distracting me from my studies.
376
00:26:27,545 --> 00:26:28,963
It's paradoxical.
377
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:33,592
You know, there's a quote in this book
that would be very appropriate.
378
00:26:33,676 --> 00:26:36,637
This is written by Spock himself,
379
00:26:36,721 --> 00:26:40,891
and it's a memoir
of the challenges that he faced
380
00:26:40,975 --> 00:26:45,104
when he was one of the first
Vulcan cadets in Starfleet.
381
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:51,694
"Exhilaration enhances
the absorption of knowledge."
382
00:26:52,403 --> 00:26:55,781
In other words, live a little.
383
00:27:00,202 --> 00:27:03,164
- I will cherish it.
- [announcer continues]
384
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:05,374
Thank you for the book, Admiral.
385
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:08,294
Better get moving, Cadet.
We ship out in ten.
386
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:11,589
[announcer] Commander Musiker,
387
00:27:11,589 --> 00:27:14,008
please report
to the Excelsior for departure.
388
00:27:14,008 --> 00:27:15,426
Same ship?
389
00:27:15,426 --> 00:27:17,845
Keeping him under your wing, eh?
390
00:27:17,845 --> 00:27:22,016
That boy's absolute candor
can get his ass kicked,
391
00:27:22,016 --> 00:27:24,602
so I'm protective of him.
392
00:27:24,602 --> 00:27:26,771
Frankly, I find it very pleasing.
393
00:27:26,771 --> 00:27:27,855
[PA beeps]
394
00:27:27,855 --> 00:27:31,067

Mmm. They're playing my song.
396
00:27:32,735 --> 00:27:34,236
Safe journeys.
397
00:27:37,073 --> 00:27:38,157
Admiral.
398
00:27:38,157 --> 00:27:39,325
Commander.
399
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:03,766
[ship beeping]
400
00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:23,119
Lieutenant Urtern, what am I looking at?
401
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,664
Spatial anomaly, Captain.
Minor tachyon levels but nothing critical.
402
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:28,707
For the moment, it appears stable.
403
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:32,211
The fabric of space-time rending
does not really shout "stability."
404
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:34,713
- [view screen beeping]
- Captain Rios, we're being hailed.
405
00:28:34,797 --> 00:28:35,923
On-screen.
406
00:28:37,842 --> 00:28:38,968
[chuckles]
407
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:41,053
What are you doing here?
408
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:43,222
- I was about to ask the same.
- [beeps]
409
00:28:44,682 --> 00:28:47,184
What the hell did you do to my ship?
410
00:28:47,268 --> 00:28:48,727
Correction: my ship.
411
00:28:48,811 --> 00:28:50,187
Look after her, I said.
412
00:28:50,271 --> 00:28:52,606
Instead, I used her
to take care of others,
413
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:55,401
which in my line of work
can occasionally be violent.
414
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:57,069
Besides, a few dents look good on her.
415
00:28:57,153 --> 00:28:58,362
Hi, Seven!

Signal is originating
inside the anomaly, Captain.
419
00:29:05,953 --> 00:29:07,204
A message of some kind?
420
00:29:07,288 --> 00:29:09,540
[Sing] Running it through
the universal translator.
421
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:11,459
Coming back inconclusive, sir.
422
00:29:12,585 --> 00:29:15,087
- A peculiar way of saying hello.
- Let me deal with this.

00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:22,136
Oh, sorry. [clears throat] Captain, may I?

Captain?

Lieutenant, trust me.
You'll find it much easier to just defer.

It says, "Help us."

"Help us, Picard."

Oh. [chuckles]

With you pushing a century
and me pushing several, I--

I don't really think at our age
we should be reserving anything.

Well, El-Aurians age so very slowly.

Yes, but only if we choose to.

Now, I notice that humans don't like

so I-- I try to keep up.

[chuckles] Well, thank you.
464
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,384
I don't think you're here
to reminisce about the old days.

are what's troubling you now.

Oh. Oh.
474
00:32:38,916 --> 00:32:40,584
I am gonna take that back.
475
00:32:40,668 --> 00:32:45,047
I have seen you look like this,
and it's serious.

00:32:45,047 --> 00:32:47,966
So this, as lovely as it is,
is not gonna cut it.

Sometimes, quite deeply.

Yes, but always with those
who would only be temporary.

No, that's not entirely true.

So that you'd never have to fear

Oh, no.

00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:24,837
I think you've done a great
many, many brave things.
490
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:26,171
Of a kind.
491
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,257
It's too late.

The problem isn't time, it's you.

You always talk about love
as if you ever took it seriously.
499
00:33:51,739 --> 00:33:54,783
And you know the only things
you've ever put out there to break
500
00:33:54,867 --> 00:33:55,993
were your bones.
501
00:33:55,993 --> 00:33:59,288
And the only thing you ever
risked losing was your life.
502
00:33:59,288 --> 00:34:01,832
That's not an insignificant loss.
503

what, nearly a century?

Why? What's holding you back?
507
00:34:18,682 --> 00:34:22,895
Okay. Why did you decide to go
to the stars in the first place?
508
00:34:22,895 --> 00:34:25,731
We've discussed this so many times.
509
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,651
To explore, to meet new civilizations--
510
00:34:29,735 --> 00:34:32,488
Jean-Luc, since I've known you,
the only place
511
00:34:32,488 --> 00:34:34,948
you have ever been afraid to explore,
512
00:34:35,032 --> 00:34:40,454
be it flesh and blood
or an artificial, synthetic, is in here.
513
00:34:47,294 --> 00:34:52,382
And what happened in there
that you and I have never talked about?
514
00:35:03,185 --> 00:35:04,728
[Guinan sighs]
515
00:35:04,812 --> 00:35:06,271
You know what?

- [brandy sloshing]
- I understand.
517
00:35:09,691 --> 00:35:15,781
I think your answers are not in the stars,
and they never have been.
518
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,829
Also, I suggest that we drink.
519
00:35:24,998 --> 00:35:29,545
Because I think there's one
final frontier yet to come.

Jean-Luc, but it's a sensitive matter.
524

What is it, Sally?
525
00:35:52,568 --> 00:35:54,987
Please, make yourself comfortable.

in person.

00:36:05,581 --> 00:36:06,582
[Picard sighs]
529
00:36:07,207 --> 00:36:08,917
With all due respects, Admiral,
530
00:36:09,001 --> 00:36:12,462
there must be dozens
of better-qualified people than myself.
531
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:15,048
[beeps]
532
00:36:16,466 --> 00:36:22,222
Its event horizon caused a massive spike
in Adler-Lasky temporal radiation.
533
00:36:22,306 --> 00:36:25,309
And then, it began...
534
00:36:26,602 --> 00:36:29,146
well, to broadcast.
535
00:36:29,146 --> 00:36:31,106
[voices shouting, chattering]
536
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:34,192
This is how it begins.
537
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:37,362
[voices] Help us, Picard.
538
00:36:38,363 --> 00:36:42,910
Help us, Picard.
539
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:47,539
You said, "how it began."
540
00:36:47,623 --> 00:36:51,752
The balance of the message
is the entirety of Article 15.
541
00:36:51,752 --> 00:36:52,920
Article 15?
542
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,672
An entreaty to join the Federation?
543
00:36:55,756 --> 00:37:00,802
An unknown entity that can open and close
a hole in space-time
544
00:37:00,886 --> 00:37:03,263
wants to join the Federation
545
00:37:03,347 --> 00:37:07,100
and, apparently,
will only talk to you about it.
546
00:37:44,304 --> 00:37:45,430
Jean-Luc?
547
00:37:46,098 --> 00:37:47,808
[ship whirring]
548
00:37:51,687 --> 00:37:53,939
[ship departing]
549
00:38:16,962 --> 00:38:20,924
- Well, this is an unexpected encounter.
- [giggles]
550
00:38:21,008 --> 00:38:23,427
Indeed. Doctor Jurati's here as well.
551
00:38:23,427 --> 00:38:25,178
Ah.
552
00:38:26,722 --> 00:38:28,181
[Stargazer officer] It's Admiral Picard.
553
00:38:28,765 --> 00:38:30,183
Your reputation precedes you.
554
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,645
Well, the Stargazer was my first command.
555
00:38:33,729 --> 00:38:36,648
Uh, not this Stargazer of course,
556
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:40,986
but... [sighs] being here...
557
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:46,241
it feels like my life
has come full circle.
558
00:38:48,577 --> 00:38:50,954
She is quite a ship.
559
00:38:52,998 --> 00:38:54,207
You don't agree?
560
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:55,917
[Seven sighs]
561
00:38:56,752 --> 00:38:59,629
The Stargazer
is the first of a new class of ship.
562
00:38:59,713 --> 00:39:04,676
It utilizes components derived
from research on the Borg Cube Artifact.
563
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,012
Yes, of course. That's right.
564
00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:09,389
There are still many in Starfleet
who fear the Borg,
565
00:39:09,473 --> 00:39:12,768
and I sense that my presence
566
00:39:12,768 --> 00:39:17,689
is increasing historic tensions
and paranoia.
567
00:39:19,941 --> 00:39:21,318
[chattering]
568
00:39:23,528 --> 00:39:24,780
[beeping]
569
00:39:27,699 --> 00:39:29,618
Admiral on the bridge.
570
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:34,998
[chuckling] Chris.
571
00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:37,084
It's so good to see you.
572
00:39:37,084 --> 00:39:38,418
You too.
573
00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:41,338
Welcome to the Stargazer.
574
00:39:42,255 --> 00:39:43,673
Oh, thank you.
575
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,051
Oh, please, as you were.
576
00:39:50,764 --> 00:39:52,099
Well...
577
00:39:54,518 --> 00:39:57,813
this is certainly sleeker
than my Stargazer.
578
00:39:58,438 --> 00:40:03,276
The older these refits get,
the younger they look, unlike myself.
579
00:40:04,361 --> 00:40:07,114
Well, mister, I think you look
absolutely positronic.
580
00:40:07,114 --> 00:40:10,242
Agnes, I'm delighted to see you.
581
00:40:10,242 --> 00:40:12,410
Circumstances notwithstanding.
582
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:16,248
- Status?
- Tactical, enhance.
583
00:40:16,248 --> 00:40:18,083
[beeping]
584
00:40:23,004 --> 00:40:29,177
Well, let's see if they have anything else
to say to me personally.
585
00:40:29,261 --> 00:40:32,139
- Uh, if I may, Captain?
- Knock yourself out.
586
00:40:32,139 --> 00:40:35,142
Uh, lieutenant, all hailing frequencies.
587
00:40:35,142 --> 00:40:36,852
[beeping]
588
00:40:36,852 --> 00:40:41,439
This is Admiral Jean-Luc Picard
responding to your request.
589
00:40:52,242 --> 00:40:54,911
I repeat, this is Admiral Jean-Luc--
590
00:40:54,995 --> 00:40:56,913
[voice through screen, distorted] Picard.
591
00:40:57,914 --> 00:40:59,708
[clamoring]
592
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:01,585
[beeping]
593
00:41:03,378 --> 00:41:04,421
[voice] Picard.
594
00:41:05,046 --> 00:41:06,548
Energy spiking across the board.
595
00:41:07,299 --> 00:41:09,801
- Something's coming through.
- I can see that.
596
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:11,178
- Red alert!
- [alarm wailing]
597
00:41:11,178 --> 00:41:14,097
Helm, back off. Give us some distance.
598
00:41:22,981 --> 00:41:24,691
- [wailing continues]
- [grunts]
599
00:41:52,969 --> 00:41:54,095
Seven.
600
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,849
Yes, Admiral.
601
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:01,019
That ship is Borg.
602
00:42:15,825 --> 00:42:17,702
[ships whirring]
603
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:22,540
Stargazer, this is Commander Musiker.
604
00:42:22,624 --> 00:42:24,751
Excelsior is standing by, ready to assist.
605
00:42:24,751 --> 00:42:26,378
Good to know you're there, Raff.
606
00:42:27,754 --> 00:42:30,840
Well, Admiral... [sighs] ...right now
we're the tip of the spear.
607
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:34,302
You're the ranking officer
and the devil is calling your name.
608
00:42:34,386 --> 00:42:37,013
I'm fairly certain
that if we don't act, they will.
609
00:42:37,097 --> 00:42:38,515
So, what do we do?
610
00:42:39,808 --> 00:42:41,434
I don't know.
611
00:42:42,102 --> 00:42:44,104
That, out there,
612
00:42:44,104 --> 00:42:50,026
could be the very point
at which history turns.
613
00:42:51,069 --> 00:42:56,032
Picard, the Borg consume, they assimilate.
614
00:42:56,116 --> 00:42:58,493
They don't ask to be assimilated.
615
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:01,246
Doctor Jurati?
616
00:43:02,831 --> 00:43:04,708
I think caution is warranted.
617
00:43:04,708 --> 00:43:07,377
B-But everything about this is unique.
618
00:43:08,003 --> 00:43:10,839
The Borg we know
have been effectively decimated,
619
00:43:10,839 --> 00:43:12,299
functionally hobbled.
620
00:43:12,299 --> 00:43:14,634
So wouldn't it stand to reason
that they changed tactics?
621
00:43:14,718 --> 00:43:16,094
[Seven] Absolutely.
622
00:43:16,094 --> 00:43:20,932
Victory through whatever means necessary
and in the absence of strength, deception.
623
00:43:21,016 --> 00:43:23,643
But we could be putting a bullet
into the greatest ally
624
00:43:23,727 --> 00:43:25,228
the Federation may ever know.
625
00:43:25,312 --> 00:43:26,730
Precisely.
626
00:43:28,106 --> 00:43:30,483
[scoffs] I don't believe what I'm hearing.
627
00:43:30,567 --> 00:43:33,695
The Borg have wiped out entire races,
628
00:43:33,695 --> 00:43:36,156
killed tens of millions,
including my parents.
629
00:43:36,156 --> 00:43:39,034
- Subjugated exponentially more.
- Yes, I understa--
630
00:43:39,034 --> 00:43:40,952
[Seven] I know this sounds cold,
but just hear me out.
631
00:43:41,036 --> 00:43:43,288
If I'm wrong, we destroy a Borg ship,
632
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:45,582
but if I'm right and we do nothing,
633
00:43:46,333 --> 00:43:49,919
then today is the beginning
of the end of the Federation.
634
00:43:55,216 --> 00:43:57,510
[Moshe through comms]
Captain Rios, to the bridge.
635
00:44:00,805 --> 00:44:02,390
[Sing] Sir, they're hailing us.
636
00:44:02,474 --> 00:44:04,059
- [Rios] Let's hear it.
- [beeping]
637
00:44:04,059 --> 00:44:05,643
[Borg collective] There is no more time.
638
00:44:05,727 --> 00:44:09,147
We will begin negotiation
with Picard alone.
639
00:44:10,482 --> 00:44:12,692
And how to do you propose to do that?
640
00:44:12,776 --> 00:44:15,236
[Borg collective]
We will send an emissary.
641
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,073
We will offer our queen.
642
00:44:21,034 --> 00:44:23,870
There is no way in hell
I'm letting them on board this ship.
643
00:44:26,081 --> 00:44:27,540
Broadcast fleet-wide.
644
00:44:27,624 --> 00:44:29,751
- Shields up!
- [Kemi] Aye, Captain.
645
00:44:41,846 --> 00:44:43,640
[rattling]
646
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,063
[beeping]
647
00:44:50,063 --> 00:44:52,649
Sir, we have an incoming transport signal.
648
00:44:52,649 --> 00:44:54,567
Signal scans indicate a single life-form.
649
00:44:54,651 --> 00:44:57,404
Organic synthetic components
consistent with the Borg.
650
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:00,740
Captain, do we fire?
651
00:45:00,824 --> 00:45:03,076
Not yet. They can't transport
through our shields.
652
00:45:03,076 --> 00:45:05,203
The Queen is actually coming.
653
00:45:05,203 --> 00:45:08,248
Rios, don't wait until it's too late. Fire.
654
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:12,460
- Open a channel.
- [control panel beeping]
655
00:45:12,544 --> 00:45:14,045
[Sing] Channel open, Captain.
656
00:45:14,129 --> 00:45:19,134
Borg vessel, cease transport attempt
or you will be fired upon.
657
00:45:23,179 --> 00:45:25,640
[whirring]
658
00:45:30,812 --> 00:45:32,355
[alarm wailing]
659
00:45:32,439 --> 00:45:34,941
Sir, her transport signal's
penetrating our shields.
660
00:45:34,941 --> 00:45:37,360
- What deck?
- Here, sir. The bridge.
661
00:45:38,278 --> 00:45:39,988
Hand phasers at the ready!
662
00:45:39,988 --> 00:45:42,949
- Moshe, do not engage prematurely.
- Yes, sir.
663
00:45:42,949 --> 00:45:44,492
Security team, to the bridge.
664
00:45:44,576 --> 00:45:45,827
[wailing continues]
665
00:45:47,412 --> 00:45:50,457
[Moshe through comms] All security teams,
report to the bridge immediately.
666
00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:57,672
[alarm blaring]
667
00:46:14,647 --> 00:46:15,648
That's new.
668
00:46:24,157 --> 00:46:26,868
[distorted] We wish for peace.
669
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:36,544
But first, we require...
670
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:41,799
What?
671
00:46:42,509 --> 00:46:44,052
What do you require?
672
00:46:45,470 --> 00:46:46,638
Power.
673
00:46:47,972 --> 00:46:50,141
- [metal clanging]
- [glass shatters]
674
00:46:51,601 --> 00:46:52,936

675
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:05,865
[grunts]
676
00:47:20,547 --> 00:47:22,173
[grunting]
677
00:47:26,344 --> 00:47:27,637
Cease fire!
678
00:47:30,473 --> 00:47:31,683
Stop firing!
679
00:47:34,811 --> 00:47:37,021
The Queen is stunning them,
not killing them.
680
00:47:37,647 --> 00:47:38,565
Stop firing!
681
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:41,985
[computer]
Isolinear fragmentation detected.
682
00:47:42,694 --> 00:47:44,112
Command node corruption.
683
00:47:47,740 --> 00:47:49,033
[grunts]
684
00:47:49,617 --> 00:47:51,327
Bridge controls redirecting.

[grunts]
686
00:47:55,540 --> 00:47:58,376
Bridge control transfer 20%.

- [phasers firing]
- [alarm wailing]
690
00:48:07,260 --> 00:48:09,971
[computer] Bridge control transfer 40%.
691
00:48:09,971 --> 00:48:11,848
What's happening?
692
00:48:11,848 --> 00:48:14,350
[Jurati] She's accessing the Borg
modifications in the ship!
693
00:48:14,434 --> 00:48:17,228
She's gaining complete access.
Weapons, navigation, everything.
694
00:48:17,312 --> 00:48:18,396
She's assimilating the ship.
695
00:48:18,396 --> 00:48:22,025
Not just to our ship, the entire fleet.
She's using us as a hub.
696
00:48:22,025 --> 00:48:25,820
She's getting the command codes
to all our ships.
697
00:48:30,825 --> 00:48:34,495
Broadcast to the Fleet, all ships
open fire on the Borg vessel.
698
00:48:34,579 --> 00:48:36,623
I can't. She's locked out comms.
699
00:48:36,623 --> 00:48:39,959
She's assimilated 70--
No, 75% of the ship.
700
00:48:40,043 --> 00:48:41,753
We're gonna get locked out.
701
00:48:41,753 --> 00:48:45,423
Picard, we cannot give her an armada.
You know that.
702
00:48:45,423 --> 00:48:46,507
[phasers firing]
703
00:48:49,052 --> 00:48:51,721
[Jurati] 80% assimilated.
She's getting faster!
704
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:53,556
You're out of time.
705
00:48:54,349 --> 00:48:55,642
[screams]
706
00:48:57,393 --> 00:48:59,020
[Jurati] 85%!
707
00:48:59,020 --> 00:49:00,271
[Rios] We're out of options!
708
00:49:00,355 --> 00:49:04,025
[shouts] Computer,
activate auto-destruct sequence.
709
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:06,069
[computer] Auto-destruct activated.
710
00:49:06,069 --> 00:49:07,487
Awaiting final command.
711
00:49:07,487 --> 00:49:11,491
["Non, je ne regrette rein" playing]
712
00:49:12,617 --> 00:49:14,035
[Jurati] She's at 90%!
713
00:49:14,035 --> 00:49:16,537
If it gets to 100, we can't self-destruct.
714
00:49:16,621 --> 00:49:17,538
Picard!
715
00:49:17,622 --> 00:49:19,207
Authorization.
716
00:49:19,207 --> 00:49:22,502
Picard zero-zero-zero-destruct-zero.
717
00:49:22,502 --> 00:49:24,462
[alarm wailing]
718
00:49:24,462 --> 00:49:28,883
The emergency destruct system
is now activated.
719
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:36,099
Destruction in ten, nine...
720
00:49:36,099 --> 00:49:37,684
[Borg Queen] Picard.
721
00:49:37,684 --> 00:49:43,606
...eight, seven, six, five, four...
722
00:49:43,690 --> 00:49:45,108
Look up.
723
00:49:45,108 --> 00:49:48,820
...three, two, one.
724
00:50:46,961 --> 00:50:48,463
- [grunts]
- [glass tinkles]
725
00:51:54,153 --> 00:51:55,571
[shouting] Laris!
726
00:51:56,572 --> 00:51:59,700
Sir, would you prefer your morning
beverage on the veranda?
727
00:51:59,784 --> 00:52:01,744
The solar shields
are holding well this morning.
728
00:52:01,828 --> 00:52:03,079
The sky is delightfully clear.
729
00:52:03,079 --> 00:52:05,373
- Who the hell are you?
- Harvey, sir.
730
00:52:05,373 --> 00:52:08,251
- Are you feeling all right?
- No, where's Laris?
731
00:52:09,210 --> 00:52:11,045
Laris, a Romulan name,
732
00:52:11,045 --> 00:52:13,881
in colloquial English,
translates roughly to "a new day."
733
00:52:13,965 --> 00:52:16,425
Would you like me to check
the migrant rosters for such a name?
734
00:52:16,509 --> 00:52:18,219
What is happening here?
735
00:52:19,011 --> 00:52:21,305
[Q] An excellent question, Jean-Luc.
736
00:52:22,306 --> 00:52:23,975
Mon capitaine.
737
00:52:23,975 --> 00:52:26,227
How I've missed you.
738
00:52:26,227 --> 00:52:29,021
[whispering] No. No, no, no, no, no.
739
00:52:30,231 --> 00:52:33,234
Oh, dear, you're a bit older
than I imagined.
740
00:52:33,943 --> 00:52:35,111
Let me catch up.
741
00:52:36,696 --> 00:52:38,656
There, now we're even.
742
00:52:38,656 --> 00:52:39,949
Q.
743
00:52:41,033 --> 00:52:43,119
Goddamn Q.
744
00:52:46,789 --> 00:52:50,001
Do you recall what I said to you
when last we parted ways?
745
00:52:51,085 --> 00:52:54,922
"The trial never ends."
746
00:52:55,006 --> 00:52:57,049
What the hell are you doing here?
747
00:52:57,133 --> 00:53:00,595
You've been talking a lot
about second chances.
748
00:53:00,595 --> 00:53:05,057
Well, my friend, welcome to the very end
749
00:53:05,141 --> 00:53:08,060
of the road not taken.
