00:07:42,592 --> 00:07:44,507
who knows how
to speak truth to power.

177
00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:47,118
Beckett, care to tell them
what Starfleet's really like?

178
00:07:47,162 --> 00:07:49,556
Oh. Uh... Hey.

179
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:51,471
What up, everyone?

180
00:07:51,514 --> 00:07:54,604
I have an important message for
all you lower deckers out there.

181
00:07:54,648 --> 00:07:56,084
- This guy sucks!
- What?

182
00:07:56,127 --> 00:07:57,738
He's an idiot
and his plan is stupid.

183
00:07:57,781 --> 00:07:59,087
He's gonna get you all killed
'cause he only cares

184
00:07:59,130 --> 00:08:00,741
- about himself. [Grunts]
- [grunts]

185
00:08:00,784 --> 00:08:02,830
- [speaks Bynar]
- Somebody stop her.

186
00:08:02,873 --> 00:08:04,179
End that transmission!

187
00:08:04,222 --> 00:08:05,702
Attagirl.

188
00:08:05,746 --> 00:08:08,096
Cerritoscrew,
this is the captain.

189
00:08:08,139 --> 00:08:10,838
I am about to disobey
a direct order

190
00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:12,404
and stage a rescue

191
00:08:12,448 --> 00:08:14,058
of Lieutenant
Junior Grade Mariner.

192
00:08:14,102 --> 00:08:16,017
Now, I can't ask any of you

193
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:18,062
to join me. If we survive,

194
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,108
the court-martial is guarantee,

195
00:08:20,151 --> 00:08:22,589
but I will be damned if I wait

196
00:08:22,632 --> 00:08:25,461
for politicians
to decide her fate.

197
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:28,116
- I'm with you, Captain.
- We all are.

198
00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:30,074
- Let me at 'em!
- Let's [bleep] [bleep] up.

199
00:08:30,118 --> 00:08:31,685
You know I'm with you.

200
00:08:31,728 --> 00:08:33,513
I believe the only response
in this situation is.

201
00:08:33,556 --> 00:08:35,427
Cerritosstrong.

202
00:08:35,471 --> 00:08:38,779
All departments checking in.
Everyone wants to help.

203
00:08:38,822 --> 00:08:41,738
Thank you. Now we just have
to figure out

204
00:08:41,782 --> 00:08:44,828
how the hell we're getting past
that damn shield.

205
00:08:44,872 --> 00:08:47,701
I think I can help with that.

206
00:08:49,441 --> 00:08:51,356
Beckett, you just made us
look like a joke

207
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,488
in front of the quadrant.

208
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,011
Kind of my entire plan.

209
00:08:54,055 --> 00:08:55,230
[grunts]

210
00:08:55,273 --> 00:08:56,971
What? Stop her.

211
00:08:57,014 --> 00:08:58,538
[pants, gasps]

212
00:09:01,976 --> 00:09:05,240
- Uh, Computer, cycle airlock.
- Aah!

213
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:09,723
All right, you are
my first officer. Yay.

214
00:09:09,766 --> 00:09:11,725
My little buddy.
Please, no exploding.

215
00:09:11,768 --> 00:09:13,857
Computer, command code override,

216
00:09:13,901 --> 00:09:17,600
uh, 06107.2?

217
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:19,733
COMPUTER:
Welcome, Captain Carol Freeman.

218
00:09:19,776 --> 00:09:21,343
Yes! I knew that would
come in handy.

219
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:23,345
Transfer system controls
to the command panel.

220
00:09:28,742 --> 00:09:30,744
LOCARNO: How did she even get
the engines online?

221
00:09:30,787 --> 00:09:32,659
It doesn't matter. Destroy it.

222
00:09:32,702 --> 00:09:35,226
No. Without the Genesis Device,
the captains you betrayed

223
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:37,054
will find a way to
get through our shields.

224
00:09:37,098 --> 00:09:39,579
But that's okay, Romulans are
famously forgiving.

225
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:42,712
- Right?
- We have to stop her!

226
00:09:50,981 --> 00:09:52,983
D'ERIKA: How dare you, sister?!

227
00:09:53,027 --> 00:09:55,638
Bringing these Starfleet
outsiders here,

228
00:09:55,682 --> 00:09:57,031
shaming our house.

229
00:09:57,074 --> 00:09:59,468
Ms. Tendi, if you'll only
let me explain...

230
00:09:59,511 --> 00:10:02,166
Eh, stand down, Captain.
You have no authority here.

231
00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:03,646
I know this looks bad,

232
00:10:03,690 --> 00:10:04,865
but wouldn't you like to
embarrass Starfleet

233
00:10:04,908 --> 00:10:06,083
with a show of strength?

234
00:10:06,127 --> 00:10:07,389
We're here against orders.

235
00:10:07,432 --> 00:10:09,565
Helping us will make them
look weak.

236
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:12,394
Hmm. That does sound enticing.

237
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:14,483
I've never heard
of a Trynar Shield.

238
00:10:14,526 --> 00:10:15,571
Just destroy it.

239
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,399
No can do, Tendi Two.

240
00:10:17,442 --> 00:10:19,096
The Cerritosjust doesn't have
the weapons for it.

241
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,272
We need a ship with enough
firepower to punch a hole.

242
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:22,796
We'd just be borrowing it,
really.

243
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:24,101
We'll give it right back.

244
00:10:24,145 --> 00:10:25,799
Um, it's a warship,

245
00:10:25,842 --> 00:10:27,670
not a used copy
of Sword and Scabbard.

246
00:10:27,714 --> 00:10:29,498
I know, it's a big ask,

247
00:10:29,541 --> 00:10:31,021
but I wouldn't have come to you
if it wasn't an emergency.

248
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:32,893
This guy has my friend, D'Erika.

249
00:10:32,936 --> 00:10:34,285
I'm overseeing the merger

250
00:10:34,329 --> 00:10:36,070
of two massive
criminal enterprises.

251
00:10:36,113 --> 00:10:37,941
I can't collude with
the Federation right now.

252
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:39,421
Sorry, sis.

253
00:10:39,464 --> 00:10:41,553
We understand, Mistress D'Erika.

254
00:10:41,597 --> 00:10:43,686
We thank you for
your consideration.

255
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:44,687
We'll have to find another...

256
00:10:44,731 --> 00:10:48,038
I demand Barter By Combat!

257
00:10:48,082 --> 00:10:49,910
[gasps]

258
00:10:54,828 --> 00:10:58,179
[grunts] All right, G.D.,
let's hope this old tub

259
00:10:58,222 --> 00:10:59,615
can make it to warp.

260
00:11:01,356 --> 00:11:02,705
Com-Computer, what the hell?!

261
00:11:02,749 --> 00:11:04,620
COMPUTER: Proximity alert.

262
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,143
[gasps] Oh, [bleep].

263
00:11:08,102 --> 00:11:10,713
[Mariner grunts]

264
00:11:14,195 --> 00:11:16,545
COMPUTER: Shields at 90%.

265
00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:18,721
My Trynar Shield works
both ways.

266
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:20,592
It keeps ships out and in.

267
00:11:20,636 --> 00:11:23,508
Yeah, I guess it slipped my mind
because the name is so stupid.

268
00:11:23,552 --> 00:11:26,337
Oh, the three Bynars, right.
Can you have three Bynars?

269
00:11:26,381 --> 00:11:28,644
Look, why don't you just
dock at the station?

270
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,211
If you really don't want
to join me,

271
00:11:30,254 --> 00:11:31,995
I'll send you on your way.

272
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:33,910
And let you get your hands
on a planetary murder machine?

273
00:11:33,954 --> 00:11:35,520
Uh, no, thanks.

274
00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:36,783
I'm offering you
the chance of a lifetime.

275
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:39,089
- You could be part...
- Nope.

276
00:11:53,625 --> 00:11:56,193
D'ERIKA: The rules of Barter
By Combat are simple.

277
00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:57,847
Each side selects a warrior.

278
00:11:57,891 --> 00:12:00,284
If yours defeats mine,
I'll lend you a battleship.

279
00:12:00,328 --> 00:12:02,417
But if you lose,
your captain will

280
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:04,680
surrender the Cerritosto me.

281
00:12:06,508 --> 00:12:07,814
Deal.

282
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:13,384
Ah!

283
00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:14,864
She's like a Shaxs-and-a-half.

284
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:15,865
Are you sure we have anyone
who can take her?

285
00:12:15,909 --> 00:12:18,259
Oh, yeah, we've got this.

286
00:12:19,347 --> 00:12:21,697
The Cerritoschampion will be...

287
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,047
- You like that?
- [grunting]

288
00:12:24,091 --> 00:12:25,919
...Dr. Migleemo.

289
00:12:25,962 --> 00:12:28,530
[chokes] What?!

290
00:12:28,573 --> 00:12:30,097
[laughter]

291
00:12:33,013 --> 00:12:35,015
Come on, come on.
I need somewhere to hide.

292
00:12:35,058 --> 00:12:36,973
Ooh, dangerous and unpredictable
space debris.

293
00:12:39,976 --> 00:12:42,892
Hang on, G.D.
This is gonna be rough.

294
00:12:49,029 --> 00:12:50,073
Uh...

295
00:13:02,346 --> 00:13:03,957
- [alarm blaring]
- The human has target lock.

296
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,697
[both cry out]

297
00:13:05,741 --> 00:13:07,874
What are you guys doing working
for a jerk like Locarno?

298
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:09,919
He doesn't care about profit
at all.

299
00:13:09,963 --> 00:13:11,573
That means more profit for us.

300
00:13:11,616 --> 00:13:13,270
What about
Rule of Acquisition 91?

301
00:13:13,314 --> 00:13:15,185
"Your boss is only worth
what he pays you."

302
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:18,406
Locarno is not our boss.
We make our own decisions.

303
00:13:18,449 --> 00:13:20,669
And you're forgetting rule 289:

304
00:13:20,712 --> 00:13:23,628
Shoot first,
count profits later.

305
00:13:23,672 --> 00:13:25,805
[evil laughter]

306
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:26,849
[straining]

307
00:13:30,722 --> 00:13:32,333
Computer, vent coolant vapor.

308
00:13:34,509 --> 00:13:36,206
[crying out]

309
00:13:46,782 --> 00:13:49,654
Bah! Our sensors are ruined.
We've lost her.

310
00:13:53,093 --> 00:13:54,311
[sighs]

311
00:13:57,924 --> 00:13:59,882
Please, madam,
perhaps we can settle this

312
00:13:59,926 --> 00:14:01,449
over a delicious bowl of slime.

313
00:14:01,492 --> 00:14:02,798
[grunting]

314
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:05,714
Whoa.

315
00:14:07,629 --> 00:14:09,631
I'm gonna have to start over
with a new therapist, aren't I?

316
00:14:09,674 --> 00:14:12,286
W-W-Whoa! Aah!

317
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:15,506
- She's going to kill him.
- Dr. Migleemo, fluff your down.

318
00:14:15,550 --> 00:14:16,899
Fluff your down!

319
00:14:16,943 --> 00:14:19,206
- It's embarrassing.
- Just fluff it!

320
00:14:19,249 --> 00:14:21,861
[sinister laughter]

321
00:14:21,904 --> 00:14:23,210
[grunts, squawks]

322
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:27,127
[sniffling, sneezes]

323
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:29,172
Bless you, dear.
Wait, what's happening?

324
00:14:29,216 --> 00:14:30,695
I used to train with B'eth.

325
00:14:30,739 --> 00:14:32,915
She has really bad allergies.

326
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:36,701
Oh-ho! Accept my flappity
fisticuffs, you foul fiend.

327
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:38,138
Kyah! Kyah!

328
00:14:38,181 --> 00:14:41,924
- [sneezes]
- Ew! The snot.

329
00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:44,753
- [all gasp]
- [Migleemo groans]

330
00:14:44,796 --> 00:14:48,278
The champion of
Barter By Combat is B'eth.

331
00:14:48,322 --> 00:14:49,932
Somebody get her her inhaler.

332
00:14:49,976 --> 00:14:51,368
A deal's a deal, Captain.

333
00:14:51,412 --> 00:14:53,370
The Cerritosis mine.

334
00:15:00,551 --> 00:15:02,336
Transfer your ship's
control codes, Captain,

335
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:05,295
or our swords will get
considerably bloodier.

336
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:08,168
[sighs] A deal's a deal,
but you must know.

337
00:15:08,211 --> 00:15:09,952
Locarno was only out
for himself.

338
00:15:09,996 --> 00:15:11,649
He's attacked your kind as well.

339
00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:13,738
Oh, I'll deal with him
in my own time.

340
00:15:19,135 --> 00:15:22,834
Wait. I have something
you want more than the Cerritos.

341
00:15:22,878 --> 00:15:25,359
[laughs]
I'm a pirate queen, sister.

342
00:15:25,402 --> 00:15:27,056
What would I want more
than a ship?

343
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,407
- Me.
- [all gasp]

344
00:15:30,451 --> 00:15:32,148
- Tendi, what are you doing?
- Look,

345
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:33,845
you've wanted the Mistress
of the Winter Constellations

346
00:15:33,889 --> 00:15:35,673
back working for the family
for years.

347
00:15:35,717 --> 00:15:37,849
If you give us a battleship,
I'll come back.

348
00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:39,068
- No!
- Tendi, you can't...

349
00:15:39,112 --> 00:15:41,592
Silence!
Having you back at my side

350
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:44,073
would mean more than
some measly support ship.

351
00:15:44,117 --> 00:15:46,075
The Cerritosis not measly.

352
00:15:46,119 --> 00:15:47,598
She is the gem of the Calif...

353
00:15:47,642 --> 00:15:48,686
Andy, shut up.

354
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:50,384
You have a deal, sister.

355
00:15:50,427 --> 00:15:52,516
We have an Orion destroyer
for your rescue.

356
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,649
But I expect you to return here

357
00:15:54,692 --> 00:15:56,433
even if you fail
to save your friend.

358
00:15:56,477 --> 00:15:58,305
We won't.

359
00:16:04,093 --> 00:16:05,268
MARINER: Damn, warp drive's out,

360
00:16:05,312 --> 00:16:07,140
life support's damaged.

361
00:16:07,183 --> 00:16:09,359
I hate to say it, but I think
I got to set you off somewhere

362
00:16:09,403 --> 00:16:11,840
before anyone catches up.
Sorry, buddy.

363
00:16:11,883 --> 00:16:14,408
Computer, are there any lifeless
planets in this system?

364
00:16:14,451 --> 00:16:17,672
COMPUTER: Detrion 9 is
incapable of supporting life.

365
00:16:17,715 --> 00:16:19,630
Well, sounds like a party.
Plot a course.

366
00:16:31,425 --> 00:16:34,645
FREEMAN: Whoa, look
at the size of that thing.

367
00:16:34,689 --> 00:16:37,387
Uh, Captain, we have a problem.

368
00:16:37,431 --> 00:16:39,781
Ugh! Get me that Orion.

369
00:16:39,824 --> 00:16:41,565
Captain Freeman.

370
00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:44,046
A pleasure to speak again
so soon.

371
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:46,266
This warship is totally
inoperable.

372
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:48,094
You said you were going
to help us.

373
00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:50,748
I said I would lend you
theRetribution.

374
00:16:50,792 --> 00:16:52,837
We never discussed
its condition.

375
00:16:52,881 --> 00:16:54,013
This isn't fair!

376
00:16:54,056 --> 00:16:56,885
No. But it is extremely Orion.

377
00:16:56,928 --> 00:16:58,582
See you soon, D'Vana.

378
00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:00,758
Billups, report.

379
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:02,891
This thing's a relic.
Half the systems are fried.

380
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:04,719
It could take months
to get it battle-ready.

381
00:17:04,762 --> 00:17:06,547
FREEMAN: We don't have months.

382
00:17:06,589 --> 00:17:08,679
Don't worry, Captain, I've got
my best team working on it.

383
00:17:08,723 --> 00:17:11,290
We could skip life support.
Maybe reroute the shields.

384
00:17:11,334 --> 00:17:12,988
We need to disassemble
the warp drive,

385
00:17:13,031 --> 00:17:14,337
not to mention the conduits.

386
00:17:14,381 --> 00:17:15,817
Who cares about the conduits,
Livik?

387
00:17:15,859 --> 00:17:17,688
We should focus on
firepower and engines.

388
00:17:17,732 --> 00:17:20,691
You can't just activate some
systems; They're dependent.

389
00:17:20,734 --> 00:17:22,040
They don't have to be!

390
00:17:22,084 --> 00:17:23,954
Guys, we need to get
on the same page.

391
00:17:23,999 --> 00:17:26,522
I believe I can facilitate that.

392
00:17:26,567 --> 00:17:27,611
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh,
oh, my gosh.

393
00:17:27,655 --> 00:17:28,917
Are you gonna do a mind meld?

394
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,094
Something less invasive.

395
00:17:32,138 --> 00:17:34,444
- [upbeat piano music playing]
- [ship horn blows]

396
00:17:34,488 --> 00:17:37,273
RUTHERFORD: Well, I'll be
happier than a milkman's horse.

397
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:39,710
You know what you're
talking about, Mr. Livik.

398
00:17:39,754 --> 00:17:42,148
And you are a heapin' helpin'

399
00:17:42,191 --> 00:17:45,325
of country-fried intellect,
my genteel friend.

400
00:17:45,368 --> 00:17:48,719
I do declare, we've settled
upon a compromise.

401
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,025
Why does this work?

402
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,071
Illogical tactics
can sometimes lead

403
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:53,507
to logical solutions.

404
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:56,031
[sniffles] It's beautiful.

405
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:57,076
[thunder rumbling]

406
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,295
MARINER: What the hell is that?

407
00:17:59,339 --> 00:18:01,080
COMPUTER:
A level seven ion storm.

408
00:18:01,123 --> 00:18:03,908
Recommend an alternate heading,
or damage will occur.

409
00:18:03,952 --> 00:18:05,432
[thunder rumbling]

410
00:18:09,175 --> 00:18:11,960
[grunts] Oh, [bleep] Romulans!

411
00:18:14,745 --> 00:18:16,312
Starfleet swine!

412
00:18:16,356 --> 00:18:17,922
Cease your pathetic
attempts to flee

413
00:18:17,966 --> 00:18:19,533
and hand over the Device.

414
00:18:19,576 --> 00:18:21,448
MARINER: Huh, never thought
I'd see Romulans

415
00:18:21,491 --> 00:18:22,666
taking orders from a human.

416
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:24,625
We do not take orders.

417
00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:26,975
Locarno's given us the freedom
to scheme at our leisure.

418
00:18:27,018 --> 00:18:28,803
Oh, so you need a human
for your scheming, huh?

419
00:18:28,846 --> 00:18:30,021
You can't do it on your own?

420
00:18:30,065 --> 00:18:31,980
False! He is a pawn in our game

421
00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:33,547
of 12-dimensional chess!

422
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:35,505
- That's right, Mariner.
- Aah!

423
00:18:37,725 --> 00:18:39,161
It may be hard
for you to believe,

424
00:18:39,205 --> 00:18:41,120
but we are a coalition
of equals.

425
00:18:41,163 --> 00:18:42,947
One that has you surrounded.

426
00:18:52,522 --> 00:18:54,611
LOCARNO: That storm
is only getting worse.

427
00:18:54,655 --> 00:18:56,744
Power down engines
and we can start over

428
00:18:56,787 --> 00:18:57,788
- without any...
- [grunts]

429
00:18:57,832 --> 00:18:58,876
Hey, stop!

430
00:19:02,576 --> 00:19:04,708
What are you doing?
That storm will rip you apart.

431
00:19:04,752 --> 00:19:06,319
Aw, damn it!

432
00:19:06,362 --> 00:19:07,972
What are you worried about?
We're fine.

433
00:19:08,016 --> 00:19:09,365
She won't last ten minutes
in there.

434
00:19:09,409 --> 00:19:11,411
Then we'll lose
our bargaining power.

435
00:19:11,454 --> 00:19:14,414
Ugh, get in there
and get that Device.

436
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:17,591
I'm sorry, are you
giving me an order?

437
00:19:17,634 --> 00:19:19,462
I thought we were
a coalition of equals.

438
00:19:19,506 --> 00:19:21,943
We can still profit
without a Genesis bomb.

439
00:19:21,986 --> 00:19:23,640
We need to be powerful.

440
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:25,642
You cowards. I'll do it myself.

441
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:32,780
[static crackling]

442
00:19:32,823 --> 00:19:35,261
[thunder rumbling]

443
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:48,535
[bleep]

444
00:19:48,578 --> 00:19:50,493
Oh, this is getting old,
Beckett.

445
00:19:50,537 --> 00:19:52,713
Hand over the Device
before we get ripped apart.

446
00:19:52,756 --> 00:19:55,759
Whew, he is obsessed
with you, girl.

447
00:19:55,803 --> 00:19:57,587
Nick, I know why
you hate Starfleet.

448
00:19:57,631 --> 00:19:59,285
And it isn't because
you have some deep connection

449
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:01,243
with junior officers.
You're pissed because

450
00:20:01,287 --> 00:20:02,810
you got booted from the Academ.

451
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:05,378
LOCARNO:
I am not. I've read your file.

452
00:20:05,421 --> 00:20:07,162
I hate command structure
just like you.

453
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:09,077
No, I-I don't always agree
with orders, sure,

454
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:10,513
but I believe in the mission.

455
00:20:10,557 --> 00:20:13,124
What about Sito?
She died for no reason.

456
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:15,126
She gave her life
for what she believed in.

457
00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:16,693
You can't take that from her.

458
00:20:16,737 --> 00:20:18,521
I thought you were smarter
than everyone else.

459
00:20:18,565 --> 00:20:20,523
Sounds like you're just
another apologist

460
00:20:20,567 --> 00:20:22,308
for a broken system.

461
00:20:22,351 --> 00:20:24,266
Hey, Starfleet's not perfect.
They mess up all the time.

462
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:26,442
But in the end, they're trying
to do what's right.

463
00:20:26,486 --> 00:20:28,096
I didn't take a single shot
at your fleet,

464
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:29,532
but you put them in danger.

465
00:20:29,576 --> 00:20:30,577
And what about Josh?

466
00:20:30,620 --> 00:20:32,231
That wasn't my fault.

467
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:35,103
If-if my stupid professors
had just let us practice.

468
00:20:35,146 --> 00:20:37,366
Josh died because
of your ego, man.

469
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:39,716
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

470
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,327
Locarno.

471
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:42,937
Something just appeared
outside the system.

472
00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:45,418
It's an Orion destroyer,
and it's massive.

473
00:20:45,461 --> 00:20:47,202
FREEMAN: This is it, people.

474
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:48,856
We only get one shot.

475
00:20:48,899 --> 00:20:50,771
Are you ready, acting captain?

476
00:20:50,814 --> 00:20:52,686
I've got this,
but I want you back

477
00:20:52,729 --> 00:20:54,035
to take command
when you're done.

478
00:20:54,078 --> 00:20:55,819
You and me both.

479
00:20:55,863 --> 00:20:57,995
- Really good captain voice.
- Thank you.

480
00:20:58,039 --> 00:20:59,736
Cerritos, I ordered you to...

481
00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:01,129
Hey, who the hell are you?

482
00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:03,174
Acting Captain
Bradward Boimler, sir.

483
00:21:03,218 --> 00:21:05,438
Turn that ship around right no.

484
00:21:05,481 --> 00:21:07,527
Yes, sir. But first I have
to rescue my friend.

485
00:21:07,570 --> 00:21:09,006
You can't get through
that shield.

486
00:21:09,050 --> 00:21:11,052
I'm not. Captain Freeman is.

487
00:21:11,095 --> 00:21:13,184
- Wh-What?
- Helm, take us to full impulse.

488
00:21:13,228 --> 00:21:14,621
I need everything we've got.

489
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:29,244
Approaching the barrier,
Captain.

490
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,680
- Wait for it.
- Structural integrity's

491
00:21:30,724 --> 00:21:32,203
failing, sir.

492
00:21:32,247 --> 00:21:34,205
Maximum impulse.
The captain's counting on us.

493
00:21:34,249 --> 00:21:36,817
Wait for it. Now!

494
00:21:45,216 --> 00:21:47,306
No, no, no, no, no. No!

495
00:21:48,872 --> 00:21:51,092
[cries out]

496
00:22:02,843 --> 00:22:04,061
Full impulse, before it closes.

497
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,155
Wow, I've never actually seen
someone use the captain's yacht.

498
00:22:11,199 --> 00:22:12,635
I do declare.

499
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:15,377
You said the shield was
impenetrable.

500
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:17,379
I didn't know they were gonna
throw a battleship at it.

501
00:22:17,423 --> 00:22:19,381
This is a disaster.
We have to get out of here.

502
00:22:19,425 --> 00:22:20,556
No, stand firm.

503
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,036
You have to follow my orders.

504
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:25,344
This is my plan
and my system. Huh?

505
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:27,128
Ugh! Damn Bynars.

506
00:22:27,171 --> 00:22:29,086
Then you can stay here
on your own.

507
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:30,436
[groans]

508
00:22:30,479 --> 00:22:33,569
[thunder rumbling]

509
00:22:33,613 --> 00:22:36,050
Go ahead and run.
I don't need any of you.

510
00:22:36,093 --> 00:22:37,225
[beep]

511
00:22:37,268 --> 00:22:39,401
Yes! Finally.

512
00:22:39,445 --> 00:22:42,230
Nowhere else to hide,
Lieutenant.

513
00:22:46,277 --> 00:22:47,322
Whoa!

514
00:22:49,063 --> 00:22:50,107
Yes.

515
00:22:50,151 --> 00:22:52,109
Sorry, girl, looks like I got to

516
00:22:52,153 --> 00:22:53,937
take you off the field
right here.

517
00:22:53,981 --> 00:22:55,765
Explosive terraformation
will initiate

518
00:22:55,809 --> 00:22:57,506
in five minutes.

519
00:22:57,550 --> 00:22:59,465
Huh, Ferengi bomb
with a Ferengi voice.

520
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:01,380
Didn't expect that,
but I like it.

521
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:03,469
[gasps]

522
00:23:03,512 --> 00:23:05,079
Get away from my Genesis Device.

523
00:23:05,122 --> 00:23:07,081
It's too late, Nick.
I started the countdown.

524
00:23:07,124 --> 00:23:08,778
All right? We have to
clear out of here.

525
00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:11,346
Oh, please. I graduated
top of my class.

526
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,174
You think I don't know how
to disarm a bomb?

527
00:23:13,217 --> 00:23:15,524
First off, you didn't graduate.

528
00:23:15,568 --> 00:23:17,308
[both grunting]

529
00:23:17,352 --> 00:23:20,616
And second, that thing is
too dangerous for anyone.

530
00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:22,313
I could have been
the best pilot in Starfleet.

531
00:23:22,357 --> 00:23:25,055
Don't let that anger
define your life.

532
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:27,667
You stunned all those crews,
you didn't kill them.

533
00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:29,756
Because deep down
you're not a murderer.

534
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,888
I'm sorry, but I really am.

535
00:23:31,932 --> 00:23:34,021
My perfect life was
taken from me,

536
00:23:34,064 --> 00:23:36,153
and now I'm getting it back.

537
00:23:36,197 --> 00:23:38,547
I'm not moving, Nick.

538
00:23:38,591 --> 00:23:39,853
Then you're a fool.

539
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,384
[gasps] Mom? How did you
get through the shield?

540
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,647
[laughs]
We threw a battleship at it.

541
00:23:51,691 --> 00:23:52,779
Get us out of here.

542
00:23:52,822 --> 00:23:54,781
No. We have to save Locarno.

543
00:23:54,824 --> 00:23:57,479
He's reactivated the shields.
I can't get a lock.

544
00:23:57,523 --> 00:23:59,438
MARINER:
Nick, please come with us.

545
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:01,222
Mirab, with sails unfurled.

546
00:24:01,265 --> 00:24:04,181
- We're out of time.
- MARINER: Please, Nick!

547
00:24:04,225 --> 00:24:05,618
Full impulse, now.

548
00:24:12,538 --> 00:24:13,626
[frustrated grunt]

549
00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:14,757
- [chimes]
- Ha!

550
00:24:14,801 --> 00:24:16,542
Next time set a shorter timer.

551
00:24:16,585 --> 00:24:18,979
To deactivate detonation,
please insert

552
00:24:19,022 --> 00:24:20,720
two bars of latinum.

553
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:23,374
They put a paywall on a bomb?!
Stupid Feren...

554
00:24:55,189 --> 00:24:58,540
VASSERY: You willfully
disregarded Starfleet orders.

555
00:24:58,584 --> 00:25:00,847
And I am prepared to take
full responsibility

556
00:25:00,890 --> 00:25:02,631
for my actions, sir.

557
00:25:02,675 --> 00:25:05,504
I should have you charged
with insubordination,

558
00:25:05,547 --> 00:25:07,941
but you managed to open
diplomatic relations

559
00:25:07,984 --> 00:25:09,986
with the Orions
for the first time.

560
00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:13,990
Everyone at Command is...
pleased with your work.

561
00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:16,340
[exhales sharply]
Thank you, Admiral.

562
00:25:16,384 --> 00:25:19,213
And if I may ask,
what happened to

563
00:25:19,256 --> 00:25:21,563
the alien officers
who allied with Locarno?

564
00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:22,956
I imagine they're in hiding.

565
00:25:22,999 --> 00:25:24,914
Since there were no shots fire,

566
00:25:24,958 --> 00:25:27,569
Starfleet avoided repercussion.

567
00:25:27,613 --> 00:25:30,267
Oh, now we have to deal with
the new M-Class planet

568
00:25:30,311 --> 00:25:32,792
that formed when
the Genesis Device exploded.

569
00:25:32,835 --> 00:25:34,750
- FREEMAN: Is it stable?
- Seems so.

570
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:37,144
We're calling it Locarno
because his atoms

571
00:25:37,187 --> 00:25:38,711
were included in
the transmogrification

572
00:25:38,754 --> 00:25:40,147
of the nebula.

573
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:41,278
We hope to use the planet
someday

574
00:25:41,322 --> 00:25:42,715
as a home for refugees.

575
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:45,979
Then I guess he did some good
after all.

576
00:25:46,022 --> 00:25:47,371
There is one last
piece of business

577
00:25:47,415 --> 00:25:49,722
regarding your lieutenant.

578
00:25:50,984 --> 00:25:53,029
- RUTHERFORD: Mariner!
- [laughter]

579
00:25:54,770 --> 00:25:57,338
Hey, easy. I didn't survive
a Genesis explosion

580
00:25:57,381 --> 00:25:58,861
just so I could get
hugged to death.

581
00:25:58,905 --> 00:26:00,123
We're just really happy

582
00:26:00,167 --> 00:26:01,211
- you're back.
- Thanks, Boims.

583
00:26:01,255 --> 00:26:03,649
I feel like I really am back

584
00:26:03,692 --> 00:26:05,520
for the first time in a while.

585
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:07,174
I've been kind of
all over the place

586
00:26:07,217 --> 00:26:08,305
the past few months.

587
00:26:08,349 --> 00:26:09,916
I was processing
some heavy stuff

588
00:26:09,959 --> 00:26:12,222
and taking it out
on everyone else.

589
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:14,529
- I'm sorry.
- Apology not accepted.

590
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,270
Because we're here for you
no matter what.

591
00:26:16,313 --> 00:26:18,098
Yeah, I think I have
a handle on it now.

592
00:26:18,141 --> 00:26:21,144
You know, I-I might even try
not self-sabotaging for once.

593
00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:22,668
I'll see how that goes.

594
00:26:22,711 --> 00:26:24,800
Huh, that sounds
remarkably healthy.

595
00:26:24,844 --> 00:26:26,846
Okay, everybody shut up,
me included.

596
00:26:26,889 --> 00:26:28,674
Let's get drunk.

597
00:26:28,717 --> 00:26:30,023
Oh, thank God.
There you are. [Chuckles]

598
00:26:31,067 --> 00:26:33,635
- Livik.
- Rutherford.

599
00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:35,245
Wait, I thought you guys
liked each other now.

600
00:26:35,289 --> 00:26:36,899
No, no, no.
Only when we're Twaining.

601
00:26:36,943 --> 00:26:38,901
Perhaps you need to work
on your leadership skills,

602
00:26:38,945 --> 00:26:40,207
Mr. Rutherford.

603
00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:42,644
Oh, boy.
Someone's got captain fever.

604
00:26:42,688 --> 00:26:44,646
Oh, do I sound "captainy"
to you?

605
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:47,127
Because Ransom was very happy
with my captaining.

606
00:26:47,170 --> 00:26:49,172
I like how this has
in no way gone to your head.

607
00:26:49,216 --> 00:26:50,521
You know what, Boims?

608
00:26:50,565 --> 00:26:52,219
I think this is really
working for you.

609
00:26:52,262 --> 00:26:53,916
This is a good look.
You should tell my mom

610
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,222
- you want captain's lessons.
- BOIMLER: Really?

611
00:26:55,265 --> 00:26:56,615
You think she'd do that?

612
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:57,877
- Who was that?
- My former commander,

613
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,922
- Captain Sokel.
- What?!

614
00:26:59,966 --> 00:27:02,185
But what if he wanted you
to return to the Vulcan fleet?

615
00:27:02,229 --> 00:27:04,057
After today's events,
I'm sure he did.

616
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,973
But instead, I prefer
to focus my time

617
00:27:07,016 --> 00:27:09,105
on becoming your science bestie.

618
00:27:09,149 --> 00:27:11,020
Oh! Don't you say that
if you don't mean it.

619
00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:13,370
Why would I say anything
I do not mean?

620
00:27:13,414 --> 00:27:15,285
Oh, man, this is the best.
Everything's working out.

621
00:27:15,329 --> 00:27:16,896
Ooh, this is when we chant
"lower decks."

622
00:27:16,939 --> 00:27:18,898
I don't know.
We kinda do it a lot.

623
00:27:18,941 --> 00:27:20,160
Oh, come on. It's my favorite.

624
00:27:20,203 --> 00:27:22,379
Uh... okay, fine.

625
00:27:22,423 --> 00:27:24,643
ALL: Lower decks! Lower decks!

626
00:27:24,686 --> 00:27:27,471
Lower decks! Lower decks!

627
00:27:27,515 --> 00:27:28,647
Lower decks! Lower decks!

628
00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:30,561
- [clears throat]
- Oh, hey, Mom.

629
00:27:30,605 --> 00:27:31,693
We were just about to get rowdy.

630
00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:32,694
Do you want to join us?

631
00:27:32,738 --> 00:27:36,306
[sighs] Lieutenant.

632
00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:39,092
You've been requested
to return to Orion.

633
00:27:39,135 --> 00:27:41,007
- Your sister sent a ship.
- Already?

634
00:27:41,050 --> 00:27:43,139
D'Erika doesn't waste any time.

635
00:27:43,183 --> 00:27:44,706
In the spirit of being a pirate,

636
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:46,316
perhaps you should simply
refuse to go.

637
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:49,798
No, this is something
I have to do for myself.

638
00:27:56,022 --> 00:27:57,676
This can't be it, right?

639
00:27:57,719 --> 00:28:00,766
I mean, who's gonna help me
with the plasma conduits?

640
00:28:00,809 --> 00:28:03,159
Keep them clear of any buildup
while I'm gone, okay?

641
00:28:03,203 --> 00:28:05,727
- Okey dokey.
- Okey dokey.

642
00:28:13,169 --> 00:28:14,301
Do you think they'll
give her time

643
00:28:14,344 --> 00:28:15,476
to do a little science?

644
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:16,999
Unlikely but possible.

645
00:28:17,043 --> 00:28:18,697
Something tells me those Orions
have bit off

646
00:28:18,740 --> 00:28:19,959
a lot more than they can chew.

647
00:28:20,002 --> 00:28:21,743
Yeah. Tendi loves Starfleet.

648
00:28:21,787 --> 00:28:23,397
- She'll be back in no time.
- Come on.

649
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,399
We got some lieutenant junior
grading to do.

650
00:28:25,442 --> 00:28:27,053
- When's our next briefing?
- 0900.

651
00:28:27,096 --> 00:28:29,751
Something to do with repairs
to the warp manifold.

652
00:28:29,795 --> 00:28:31,884
Hey, that's Rutherford stuff.
You'll have fun.

653
00:28:31,927 --> 00:28:33,189
[weak chuckle] Yeah.

654
00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:35,278
Can't go wrong with
a warp manifold.
