00:07:42,613 --> 00:07:44,528
who knows how
to speak truth to power.

177
00:07:44,572 --> 00:07:47,139
Beckett, care to tell them
what Starfleet's really like?

178
00:07:47,183 --> 00:07:49,577
Oh. Uh... Hey.

179
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:51,492
What up, everyone?

180
00:07:51,535 --> 00:07:54,625
I have an important message for
all you lower deckers out there.

181
00:07:54,669 --> 00:07:56,105
-This guy sucks!
-What?

182
00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:57,759
He's an idiot
and his plan is stupid.

183
00:07:57,802 --> 00:07:59,108
He's gonna get you all killed
'cause he only cares

184
00:07:59,151 --> 00:08:00,762
-about himself. [grunts]
-[grunts]

185
00:08:00,805 --> 00:08:02,851
-[speaks Bynar]
-Somebody stop her.

186
00:08:02,894 --> 00:08:04,200
End that transmission!

187
00:08:04,243 --> 00:08:05,723
Attagirl.

188
00:08:05,767 --> 00:08:08,117
Cerritoscrew,
this is the captain.

189
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,859
I am about to disobey
a direct order

190
00:08:10,902 --> 00:08:12,425
and stage a rescue

191
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:14,079
of Lieutenant
Junior Grade Mariner.

192
00:08:14,123 --> 00:08:16,038
Now, I can't ask any of you

193
00:08:16,081 --> 00:08:18,083
to join me. If we survive,

194
00:08:18,127 --> 00:08:20,129
the court-martial is guarantee,

195
00:08:20,172 --> 00:08:22,610
but I will be damned if I wait

196
00:08:22,653 --> 00:08:25,482
for politicians
to decide her fate.

197
00:08:25,526 --> 00:08:28,137
-I'm with you, Captain.
-We all are.

198
00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:30,095
-Let me at 'em!
-Let's [bleep] [bleep] up.

199
00:08:30,139 --> 00:08:31,706
You know I'm with you.

200
00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:33,534
I believe the only response
in this situation is

201
00:08:33,577 --> 00:08:35,448
Cerritosstrong.

202
00:08:35,492 --> 00:08:38,800
All departments checking in.
Everyone wants to help.

203
00:08:38,843 --> 00:08:41,759
Thank you. Now we just have
to figure out

204
00:08:41,803 --> 00:08:44,849
how the hell we're getting past
that damn shield.

205
00:08:44,893 --> 00:08:47,722
I think I can help with that.

206
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:51,377
Beckett, you just made us
look like a joke

207
00:08:51,421 --> 00:08:52,509
in front of the quadrant.

208
00:08:52,553 --> 00:08:54,032
Kind of my entire plan.

209
00:08:54,076 --> 00:08:55,251
[grunts]

210
00:08:55,294 --> 00:08:56,992
What? Stop her.

211
00:08:57,035 --> 00:08:58,559
[pants, gasps]

212
00:09:01,997 --> 00:09:05,261
-Uh, Computer, cycle airlock.
-Aah!

213
00:09:06,392 --> 00:09:09,744
All right, you are
my first officer. Yay.

214
00:09:09,787 --> 00:09:11,746
My little buddy.
Please, no exploding.

215
00:09:11,789 --> 00:09:13,878
Computer, command code override,

216
00:09:13,922 --> 00:09:17,621
uh, 06107.2?

217
00:09:17,665 --> 00:09:19,754
COMPUTER:
Welcome, Captain Carol Freeman.

218
00:09:19,797 --> 00:09:21,364
Yes! I knew that would
come in handy.

219
00:09:21,407 --> 00:09:23,366
Transfer system controls
to the command panel.

220
00:09:28,763 --> 00:09:30,765
LOCARNO: How did she even get
the engines online?

221
00:09:30,808 --> 00:09:32,680
It doesn't matter. Destroy it.

222
00:09:32,723 --> 00:09:35,247
No. Without the Genesis Device,
the captains you betrayed

223
00:09:35,291 --> 00:09:37,075
will find a way to
get through our shields.

224
00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:39,600
But that's okay, Romulans are
famously forgiving.

225
00:09:39,643 --> 00:09:42,733
-Right?
-We have to stop her!

226
00:09:51,002 --> 00:09:53,004
D'ERIKA:
How dare you, sister?!

227
00:09:53,048 --> 00:09:55,659
Bringing these Starfleet
outsiders here,

228
00:09:55,703 --> 00:09:57,052
shaming our house.

229
00:09:57,095 --> 00:09:59,489
Ms. Tendi, if you'll only
let me explain...

230
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:02,187
Eh, stand down, Captain.
You have no authority here.

231
00:10:02,231 --> 00:10:03,667
I know this looks bad,

232
00:10:03,711 --> 00:10:04,886
but wouldn't you like to
embarrass Starfleet

233
00:10:04,929 --> 00:10:06,104
with a show of strength?

234
00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:07,410
We're here against orders.

235
00:10:07,453 --> 00:10:09,586
Helping us will make them
look weak.

236
00:10:09,630 --> 00:10:12,415
Hmm. That does sound enticing.

237
00:10:12,458 --> 00:10:14,504
I've never heard
of a Trynar Shield.

238
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:15,592
Just destroy it.

239
00:10:15,636 --> 00:10:17,420
No can do, Tendi Two.

240
00:10:17,463 --> 00:10:19,117
The Cerritosjust doesn't have
the weapons for it.

241
00:10:19,161 --> 00:10:21,293
We need a ship with enough
firepower to punch a hole.

242
00:10:21,337 --> 00:10:22,817
We'd just be borrowing it,
really.

243
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,122
We'll give it right back.

244
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:25,820
Um, it's a warship,

245
00:10:25,863 --> 00:10:27,691
not a used copy
of Sword and Scabbard.

246
00:10:27,735 --> 00:10:29,519
I know, it's a big ask,

247
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:31,042
but I wouldn't have come to you
if it wasn't an emergency.

248
00:10:31,086 --> 00:10:32,914
This guy has my friend, D'Erika.

249
00:10:32,957 --> 00:10:34,306
I'm overseeing the merger

250
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:36,091
of two massive
criminal enterprises.

251
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:37,962
I can't collude with
the Federation right now.

252
00:10:38,006 --> 00:10:39,442
Sorry, sis.

253
00:10:39,485 --> 00:10:41,574
We understand, Mistress D'Erika.

254
00:10:41,618 --> 00:10:43,707
We thank you for
your consideration.

255
00:10:43,751 --> 00:10:44,708
We'll have to find another...

256
00:10:44,752 --> 00:10:48,059
I demand Barter By Combat!

257
00:10:48,103 --> 00:10:49,931
[gasps]

258
00:10:54,849 --> 00:10:58,200
[grunts] All right, G.D.,
let's hope this old tub

259
00:10:58,243 --> 00:10:59,636
can make it to warp.

260
00:11:01,377 --> 00:11:02,726
Com-Computer, what the hell?!

261
00:11:02,770 --> 00:11:04,641
COMPUTER:
Proximity alert.

262
00:11:04,685 --> 00:11:06,164
[gasps]
Oh, [bleep].

263
00:11:08,123 --> 00:11:10,734
[Mariner grunts]

264
00:11:14,216 --> 00:11:16,566
COMPUTER:
Shields at 90%.

265
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:18,742
My Trynar Shield works
both ways.

266
00:11:18,786 --> 00:11:20,613
It keeps ships out and in.

267
00:11:20,657 --> 00:11:23,529
Yeah, I guess it slipped my mind
because the name is so stupid.

268
00:11:23,573 --> 00:11:26,358
Oh, the three Bynars, right.
Can you have three Bynars?

269
00:11:26,402 --> 00:11:28,665
Look, why don't you just
dock at the station?

270
00:11:28,709 --> 00:11:30,232
If you really don't want
to join me,

271
00:11:30,275 --> 00:11:32,016
I'll send you on your way.

272
00:11:32,060 --> 00:11:33,931
And let you get your hands
on a planetary murder machine?

273
00:11:33,975 --> 00:11:35,541
Uh, no, thanks.

274
00:11:35,585 --> 00:11:36,804
I'm offering you
the chance of a lifetime.

275
00:11:36,847 --> 00:11:39,110
-You could be part...
-Nope.

276
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:56,214
D'ERIKA: The rules of Barter
By Combat are simple.

277
00:11:56,258 --> 00:11:57,868
Each side selects a warrior.

278
00:11:57,912 --> 00:12:00,305
If yours defeats mine,
I'll lend you a battleship.

279
00:12:00,349 --> 00:12:02,438
But if you lose,
your captain will

280
00:12:02,481 --> 00:12:04,701
surrender the Cerritosto me.

281
00:12:06,529 --> 00:12:07,835
Deal.

282
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,405
Ah!

283
00:12:13,449 --> 00:12:14,885
She's like a Shaxs-and-a-half.

284
00:12:14,929 --> 00:12:15,886
Are you sure we have anyone
who can take her?

285
00:12:15,930 --> 00:12:18,280
Oh, yeah, we've got this.

286
00:12:19,368 --> 00:12:21,718
The Cerritoschampion will be...

287
00:12:21,762 --> 00:12:24,068
-You like that?
-[grunting]

288
00:12:24,112 --> 00:12:25,940
...Dr. Migleemo.

289
00:12:25,983 --> 00:12:28,551
[chokes]
What?!

290
00:12:28,594 --> 00:12:30,118
[laughter]

291
00:12:33,034 --> 00:12:35,036
Come on, come on.
I need somewhere to hide.

292
00:12:35,079 --> 00:12:36,994
Ooh, dangerous and unpredictable
space debris.

293
00:12:39,997 --> 00:12:42,913
Hang on, G.D.
This is gonna be rough.

294
00:12:49,050 --> 00:12:50,094
Uh...

295
00:13:02,367 --> 00:13:03,978
-[alarm blaring]
-The human has target lock.

296
00:13:04,021 --> 00:13:05,718
[both cry out]

297
00:13:05,762 --> 00:13:07,895
What are you guys doing working
for a jerk like Locarno?

298
00:13:07,938 --> 00:13:09,940
He doesn't care about profit
at all.

299
00:13:09,984 --> 00:13:11,594
That means more profit for us.

300
00:13:11,637 --> 00:13:13,291
What about
Rule of Acquisition 91?

301
00:13:13,335 --> 00:13:15,206
"Your boss is only worth
what he pays you."

302
00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:18,427
Locarno is not our boss.
We make our own decisions.

303
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:20,690
And you're forgetting rule 289:

304
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:23,649
shoot first,
count profits later.

305
00:13:23,693 --> 00:13:25,826
[evil laughter]

306
00:13:25,869 --> 00:13:26,870
[straining]

307
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,354
Computer, vent coolant vapor.

308
00:13:34,530 --> 00:13:36,227
[crying out]

309
00:13:46,803 --> 00:13:49,675
Bah! Our sensors are ruined.
We've lost her.

310
00:13:53,114 --> 00:13:54,332
[sighs]

311
00:13:57,945 --> 00:13:59,903
Please, madam,
perhaps we can settle this

312
00:13:59,947 --> 00:14:01,470
over a delicious bowl of slime.

313
00:14:01,513 --> 00:14:02,819
[grunting]

314
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,735
Whoa.

315
00:14:07,650 --> 00:14:09,652
I'm gonna have to start over
with a new therapist, aren't I?

316
00:14:09,695 --> 00:14:12,307
W-W-Whoa! Aah!

317
00:14:12,350 --> 00:14:15,527
-She's going to kill him.
-Dr. Migleemo, fluff your down.

318
00:14:15,571 --> 00:14:16,920
Fluff your down!

319
00:14:16,964 --> 00:14:19,227
-It's embarrassing.
-Just fluff it!

320
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:21,882
[sinister laughter]

321
00:14:21,925 --> 00:14:23,231
[grunts, squawks]

322
00:14:23,274 --> 00:14:27,148
[sniffling, sneezes]

323
00:14:27,191 --> 00:14:29,193
Bless you, dear.
Wait, what's happening?

324
00:14:29,237 --> 00:14:30,716
I used to train with B'eth.

325
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,936
She has really bad allergies.

326
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:36,722
Oh-ho! Accept my flappity
fisticuffs, you foul fiend.

327
00:14:36,766 --> 00:14:38,159
Kyah! Kyah!

328
00:14:38,202 --> 00:14:41,945
-[sneezes]
-Ew! The snot.

329
00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:44,774
-[all gasp]
-[Migleemo groans]

330
00:14:44,817 --> 00:14:48,299
The champion of
Barter By Combat is B'eth.

331
00:14:48,343 --> 00:14:49,953
Somebody get her her inhaler.

332
00:14:49,997 --> 00:14:51,389
A deal's a deal, Captain.

333
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:53,391
The Cerritosis mine.

334
00:15:00,572 --> 00:15:02,357
Transfer your ship's
control codes, Captain,

335
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,316
or our swords will get
considerably bloodier.

336
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,189
[sighs] A deal's a deal,
but you must know

337
00:15:08,232 --> 00:15:09,973
Locarno was only out
for himself.

338
00:15:10,017 --> 00:15:11,670
He's attacked your kind as well.

339
00:15:11,714 --> 00:15:13,759
Oh, I'll deal with him
in my own time.

340
00:15:19,156 --> 00:15:22,855
Wait. I have something
you want more than the Cerritos.

341
00:15:22,899 --> 00:15:25,380
[laughs]
I'm a pirate queen, sister.

342
00:15:25,423 --> 00:15:27,077
What would I want more
than a ship?

343
00:15:27,121 --> 00:15:30,428
-Me.
-[all gasp]

344
00:15:30,472 --> 00:15:32,169
-Tendi, what are you doing?
-Look,

345
00:15:32,213 --> 00:15:33,866
you've wanted the Mistress
of the Winter Constellations

346
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:35,694
back working for the family
for years.

347
00:15:35,738 --> 00:15:37,870
If you give us a battleship,
I'll come back.

348
00:15:37,914 --> 00:15:39,089
-No!
-Tendi, you can't...

349
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:41,613
Silence!
Having you back at my side

350
00:15:41,657 --> 00:15:44,094
would mean more than
some measly support ship.

351
00:15:44,138 --> 00:15:46,096
The Cerritosis not measly.

352
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:47,619
She is the gem of the Calif...

353
00:15:47,663 --> 00:15:48,707
Andy, shut up.

354
00:15:48,751 --> 00:15:50,405
You have a deal, sister.

355
00:15:50,448 --> 00:15:52,537
We have an Orion destroyer
for your rescue.

356
00:15:52,581 --> 00:15:54,670
But I expect you to return here

357
00:15:54,713 --> 00:15:56,454
even if you fail
to save your friend.

358
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:58,326
We won't.

359
00:16:04,114 --> 00:16:05,289
MARINER:
Damn, warp drive's out,

360
00:16:05,333 --> 00:16:07,161
life support's damaged.

361
00:16:07,204 --> 00:16:09,380
I hate to say it, but I think
I got to set you off somewhere

362
00:16:09,424 --> 00:16:11,861
before anyone catches up.
Sorry, buddy.

363
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:14,429
Computer, are there any lifeless
planets in this system?

364
00:16:14,472 --> 00:16:17,693
COMPUTER:
Detrion 9 is incapable
of supporting life.

365
00:16:17,736 --> 00:16:19,651
Well, sounds like a party.
Plot a course.

366
00:16:31,446 --> 00:16:34,666
FREEMAN:
Whoa, look at the size
of that thing.

367
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,408
Uh, Captain, we have a problem.

368
00:16:37,452 --> 00:16:39,802
Ugh! Get me that Orion.

369
00:16:39,845 --> 00:16:41,586
Captain Freeman.

370
00:16:41,630 --> 00:16:44,067
A pleasure to speak again
so soon.

371
00:16:44,111 --> 00:16:46,287
This warship is totally
inoperable.

372
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:48,115
You said you were going
to help us.

373
00:16:48,158 --> 00:16:50,769
I said I would lend you
theRetribution.

374
00:16:50,813 --> 00:16:52,858
We never discussed
its condition.

375
00:16:52,902 --> 00:16:54,034
This isn't fair!

376
00:16:54,077 --> 00:16:56,906
No. But it is extremely Orion.

377
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:58,603
See you soon, D'Vana.

378
00:16:59,169 --> 00:17:00,779
Billups, report.

379
00:17:00,823 --> 00:17:02,912
This thing's a relic.
Half the systems are fried.

380
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:04,740
It could take months
to get it battle-ready.

381
00:17:04,783 --> 00:17:06,568
FREEMAN:
We don't have months.

382
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:08,700
Don't worry, Captain, I've got
my best team working on it.

383
00:17:08,744 --> 00:17:11,311
We could skip life support.
Maybe reroute the shields.

384
00:17:11,355 --> 00:17:13,009
We need to disassemble
the warp drive,

385
00:17:13,052 --> 00:17:14,358
not to mention the conduits.

386
00:17:14,402 --> 00:17:15,838
Who cares about the conduits,
Livik?

387
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,709
We should focus on
firepower and engines.

388
00:17:17,753 --> 00:17:20,712
You can't just activate some
systems; they're dependent.

389
00:17:20,755 --> 00:17:22,061
They don't have to be!

390
00:17:22,105 --> 00:17:23,975
Guys, we need to get
on the same page.

391
00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:26,543
I believe I can facilitate that.

392
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:27,632
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh,
oh, my gosh.

393
00:17:27,676 --> 00:17:28,938
Are you gonna do a mind meld?

394
00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:32,115
Something less invasive.

395
00:17:32,159 --> 00:17:34,465
-[upbeat piano music playing]
-[ship horn blows]

396
00:17:34,509 --> 00:17:37,294
RUTHERFORD: Well, I'll be
happier than a milkman's horse.

397
00:17:37,338 --> 00:17:39,731
You know what you're
talking about, Mr. Livik.

398
00:17:39,775 --> 00:17:42,169
And you are a heapin' helpin'

399
00:17:42,212 --> 00:17:45,346
of country-fried intellect,
my genteel friend.

400
00:17:45,389 --> 00:17:48,740
I do declare, we've settled
upon a compromise.

401
00:17:48,784 --> 00:17:50,046
Why does this work?

402
00:17:50,090 --> 00:17:52,092
Illogical tactics
can sometimes lead

403
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:53,528
to logical solutions.

404
00:17:53,571 --> 00:17:56,052
[sniffles] It's beautiful.

405
00:17:56,096 --> 00:17:57,097
[thunder rumbling]

406
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:59,316
MARINER: What the hell is that?

407
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,101
COMPUTER:
A level seven ion storm.

408
00:18:01,144 --> 00:18:03,929
Recommend an alternate heading,
or damage will occur.

409
00:18:03,973 --> 00:18:05,453
[thunder rumbling]

410
00:18:09,196 --> 00:18:11,981
[grunts]
Oh, [bleep] Romulans!

411
00:18:14,766 --> 00:18:16,333
Starfleet swine!

412
00:18:16,377 --> 00:18:17,943
Cease your pathetic
attempts to flee

413
00:18:17,987 --> 00:18:19,554
and hand over the Device.

414
00:18:19,597 --> 00:18:21,469
MARINER: Huh, never thought
I'd see Romulans

415
00:18:21,512 --> 00:18:22,687
taking orders from a human.

416
00:18:22,731 --> 00:18:24,646
We do not take orders.

417
00:18:24,689 --> 00:18:26,996
Locarno's given us the freedom
to scheme at our leisure.

418
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,824
Oh, so you need a human
for your scheming, huh?

419
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:30,042
You can't do it on your own?

420
00:18:30,086 --> 00:18:32,001
False! He is a pawn in our game

421
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:33,568
of 12-dimensional chess!

422
00:18:33,611 --> 00:18:35,526
-That's right, Mariner.
-Aah!

423
00:18:37,746 --> 00:18:39,182
It may be hard
for you to believe,

424
00:18:39,226 --> 00:18:41,141
but we are a coalition
of equals.

425
00:18:41,184 --> 00:18:42,968
One that has you surrounded.

426
00:18:52,543 --> 00:18:54,632
LOCARNO: That storm
is only getting worse.

427
00:18:54,676 --> 00:18:56,765
Power down engines
and we can start over

428
00:18:56,808 --> 00:18:57,809
-without any...
-[grunts]

429
00:18:57,853 --> 00:18:58,897
Hey, stop!

430
00:19:02,597 --> 00:19:04,729
What are you doing?
That storm will rip you apart.

431
00:19:04,773 --> 00:19:06,340
Aw, damn it!

432
00:19:06,383 --> 00:19:07,993
What are you worried about?
We're fine.

433
00:19:08,037 --> 00:19:09,386
She won't last ten minutes
in there.

434
00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:11,432
Then we'll lose
our bargaining power.

435
00:19:11,475 --> 00:19:14,435
Ugh, get in there
and get that Device.

436
00:19:14,478 --> 00:19:17,612
I'm sorry, are you
giving me an order?

437
00:19:17,655 --> 00:19:19,483
I thought we were
a coalition of equals.

438
00:19:19,527 --> 00:19:21,964
We can still profit
without a Genesis bomb.

439
00:19:22,007 --> 00:19:23,661
We need to be powerful.

440
00:19:23,705 --> 00:19:25,663
You cowards. I'll do it myself.

441
00:19:31,321 --> 00:19:32,801
[static crackling]

442
00:19:32,844 --> 00:19:35,282
[thunder rumbling]

443
00:19:46,771 --> 00:19:48,556
[bleep]

444
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:50,514
Oh, this is getting old,
Beckett.

445
00:19:50,558 --> 00:19:52,734
Hand over the Device
before we get ripped apart.

446
00:19:52,777 --> 00:19:55,780
Whew, he is obsessed
with you, girl.

447
00:19:55,824 --> 00:19:57,608
Nick, I know why
you hate Starfleet.

448
00:19:57,652 --> 00:19:59,306
And it isn't because
you have some deep connection

449
00:19:59,349 --> 00:20:01,264
with junior officers.
You're pissed because

450
00:20:01,308 --> 00:20:02,831
you got booted from the Academ.

451
00:20:02,874 --> 00:20:05,399
LOCARNO:
I am not. I've read your file.

452
00:20:05,442 --> 00:20:07,183
I hate command structure
just like you.

453
00:20:07,227 --> 00:20:09,098
No, I-I don't always agree
with orders, sure,

454
00:20:09,141 --> 00:20:10,534
but I believe in the mission.

455
00:20:10,578 --> 00:20:13,145
What about Sito?
She died for no reason.

456
00:20:13,189 --> 00:20:15,147
She gave her life
for what she believed in.

457
00:20:15,191 --> 00:20:16,714
You can't take that from her.

458
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:18,542
I thought you were smarter
than everyone else.

459
00:20:18,586 --> 00:20:20,544
Sounds like you're just
another apologist

460
00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:22,329
for a broken system.

461
00:20:22,372 --> 00:20:24,287
Hey, Starfleet's not perfect.
They mess up all the time.

462
00:20:24,331 --> 00:20:26,463
But in the end, they're trying
to do what's right.

463
00:20:26,507 --> 00:20:28,117
I didn't take a single shot
at your fleet,

464
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,553
but you put them in danger.

465
00:20:29,597 --> 00:20:30,598
And what about Josh?

466
00:20:30,641 --> 00:20:32,252
That wasn't my fault.

467
00:20:32,295 --> 00:20:35,124
If-if my stupid professors
had just let us practice.

468
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:37,387
Josh died because
of your ego, man.

469
00:20:37,431 --> 00:20:39,737
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

470
00:20:39,781 --> 00:20:41,348
Locarno.

471
00:20:41,391 --> 00:20:42,958
Something just appeared
outside the system.

472
00:20:43,001 --> 00:20:45,439
It's an Orion destroyer,
and it's massive.

473
00:20:45,482 --> 00:20:47,223
FREEMAN:
This is it, people.

474
00:20:47,267 --> 00:20:48,877
We only get one shot.

475
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,792
Are you ready, acting captain?

476
00:20:50,835 --> 00:20:52,707
I've got this,
but I want you back

477
00:20:52,750 --> 00:20:54,056
to take command
when you're done.

478
00:20:54,099 --> 00:20:55,840
You and me both.

479
00:20:55,884 --> 00:20:58,016
-Really good captain voice.
-Thank you.

480
00:20:58,060 --> 00:20:59,757
Cerritos, I ordered you to--

481
00:20:59,801 --> 00:21:01,150
Hey, who the hell are you?

482
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,195
Acting Captain
Bradward Boimler, sir.

483
00:21:03,239 --> 00:21:05,459
Turn that ship around right no.

484
00:21:05,502 --> 00:21:07,548
Yes, sir. But first I have
to rescue my friend.

485
00:21:07,591 --> 00:21:09,027
You can't get through
that shield.

486
00:21:09,071 --> 00:21:11,073
I'm not. Captain Freeman is.

487
00:21:11,116 --> 00:21:13,205
-Wh-What?
-Helm, take us to full impulse.

488
00:21:13,249 --> 00:21:14,642
I need everything we've got.

489
00:21:27,785 --> 00:21:29,265
Approaching the barrier,
Captain.

490
00:21:29,309 --> 00:21:30,701
-Wait for it.
-Structural integrity's

491
00:21:30,745 --> 00:21:32,224
failing, sir.

492
00:21:32,268 --> 00:21:34,226
Maximum impulse.
The captain's counting on us.

493
00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:36,838
Wait for it. Now!

494
00:21:45,237 --> 00:21:47,327
No, no, no, no, no. No!

495
00:21:48,893 --> 00:21:51,113
[cries out]

496
00:22:02,864 --> 00:22:04,082
Full impulse, before it closes.

497
00:22:08,826 --> 00:22:11,176
Wow, I've never actually seen
someone use the captain's yacht.

498
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:12,656
I do declare.

499
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:15,398
You said the shield was
impenetrable.

500
00:22:15,442 --> 00:22:17,400
I didn't know they were gonna
throw a battleship at it.

501
00:22:17,444 --> 00:22:19,402
This is a disaster.
We have to get out of here.

502
00:22:19,446 --> 00:22:20,577
No, stand firm.

503
00:22:20,621 --> 00:22:22,057
You have to follow my orders.

504
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,365
This is my plan
and my system. Huh?

505
00:22:25,408 --> 00:22:27,149
Ugh! Damn Bynars.

506
00:22:27,192 --> 00:22:29,107
Then you can stay here
on your own.

507
00:22:29,151 --> 00:22:30,457
[groans]

508
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:33,590
[thunder rumbling]

509
00:22:33,634 --> 00:22:36,071
Go ahead and run.
I don't need any of you.

510
00:22:36,114 --> 00:22:37,246
[beep]

511
00:22:37,289 --> 00:22:39,422
Yes! Finally.

512
00:22:39,466 --> 00:22:42,251
Nowhere else to hide,
Lieutenant.

513
00:22:46,298 --> 00:22:47,343
Whoa!

514
00:22:49,084 --> 00:22:50,128
Yes.

515
00:22:50,172 --> 00:22:52,130
Sorry, girl, looks like I got to

516
00:22:52,174 --> 00:22:53,958
take you off the field
right here.

517
00:22:54,002 --> 00:22:55,786
Explosive terraformation
will initiate

518
00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:57,527
in five minutes.

519
00:22:57,571 --> 00:22:59,486
Huh, Ferengi bomb
with a Ferengi voice.

520
00:22:59,529 --> 00:23:01,401
Didn't expect that,
but I like it.

521
00:23:02,489 --> 00:23:03,490
[gasps]

522
00:23:03,533 --> 00:23:05,100
Get away from my Genesis Device.

523
00:23:05,143 --> 00:23:07,102
It's too late, Nick.
I started the countdown.

524
00:23:07,145 --> 00:23:08,799
All right? We have to
clear out of here.

525
00:23:08,843 --> 00:23:11,367
Oh, please. I graduated
top of my class.

526
00:23:11,411 --> 00:23:13,195
You think I don't know how
to disarm a bomb?

527
00:23:13,238 --> 00:23:15,545
First off, you didn't graduate.

528
00:23:15,589 --> 00:23:17,329
[both grunting]

529
00:23:17,373 --> 00:23:20,637
And second, that thing is
too dangerous for anyone.

530
00:23:20,681 --> 00:23:22,334
I could have been
the best pilot in Starfleet.

531
00:23:22,378 --> 00:23:25,076
Don't let that anger
define your life.

532
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,688
You stunned all those crews,
you didn't kill them.

533
00:23:27,731 --> 00:23:29,777
Because deep down
you're not a murderer.

534
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:31,909
I'm sorry, but I really am.

535
00:23:31,953 --> 00:23:34,042
My perfect life was
taken from me,

536
00:23:34,085 --> 00:23:36,174
and now I'm getting it back.

537
00:23:36,218 --> 00:23:38,568
I'm not moving, Nick.

538
00:23:38,612 --> 00:23:39,874
Then you're a fool.

539
00:23:47,621 --> 00:23:49,405
[gasps] Mom? How did you
get through the shield?

540
00:23:49,449 --> 00:23:51,668
[laughs]
We threw a battleship at it.

541
00:23:51,712 --> 00:23:52,800
Get us out of here.

542
00:23:52,843 --> 00:23:54,802
No. We have to save Locarno.

543
00:23:54,845 --> 00:23:57,500
He's reactivated the shields.
I can't get a lock.

544
00:23:57,544 --> 00:23:59,459
MARINER:
Nick, please come with us.

545
00:23:59,502 --> 00:24:01,243
Mirab, with sails unfurled.

546
00:24:01,286 --> 00:24:04,202
-We're out of time.
-MARINER: Please, Nick!

547
00:24:04,246 --> 00:24:05,639
Full impulse, now.

548
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:13,647
[frustrated grunt]

549
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:14,778
-[chimes]
-Ha!

550
00:24:14,822 --> 00:24:16,563
Next time set a shorter timer.

551
00:24:16,606 --> 00:24:19,000
To deactivate detonation,
please insert

552
00:24:19,043 --> 00:24:20,741
two bars of latinum.

553
00:24:20,784 --> 00:24:23,395
They put a paywall on a bomb?!
Stupid Feren...

554
00:24:55,210 --> 00:24:58,561
VASSERY: You willfully
disregarded Starfleet orders.

555
00:24:58,605 --> 00:25:00,868
And I am prepared to take
full responsibility

556
00:25:00,911 --> 00:25:02,652
for my actions, sir.

557
00:25:02,696 --> 00:25:05,525
I should have you charged
with insubordination,

558
00:25:05,568 --> 00:25:07,962
but you managed to open
diplomatic relations

559
00:25:08,005 --> 00:25:10,007
with the Orions
for the first time.

560
00:25:10,051 --> 00:25:14,011
Everyone at Command is...
pleased with your work.

561
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,361
[exhales sharply]
Thank you, Admiral.

562
00:25:16,405 --> 00:25:19,234
And if I may ask,
what happened to

563
00:25:19,277 --> 00:25:21,584
the alien officers
who allied with Locarno?

564
00:25:21,628 --> 00:25:22,977
I imagine they're in hiding.

565
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:24,935
Since there were no shots fire,

566
00:25:24,979 --> 00:25:27,590
Starfleet avoided repercussion.

567
00:25:27,634 --> 00:25:30,288
Oh, now we have to deal with
the new M-Class planet

568
00:25:30,332 --> 00:25:32,813
that formed when
the Genesis Device exploded.

569
00:25:32,856 --> 00:25:34,771
-FREEMAN: Is it stable?
-Seems so.

570
00:25:34,815 --> 00:25:37,165
We're calling it Locarno
because his atoms

571
00:25:37,208 --> 00:25:38,732
were included in
the transmogrification

572
00:25:38,775 --> 00:25:40,168
of the nebula.

573
00:25:40,211 --> 00:25:41,299
We hope to use the planet
someday

574
00:25:41,343 --> 00:25:42,736
as a home for refugees.

575
00:25:42,779 --> 00:25:46,000
Then I guess he did some good
after all.

576
00:25:46,043 --> 00:25:47,392
There is one last
piece of business

577
00:25:47,436 --> 00:25:49,743
regarding your lieutenant.

578
00:25:51,005 --> 00:25:53,050
-RUTHERFORD: Mariner!
-[laughter]

579
00:25:54,791 --> 00:25:57,359
Hey, easy. I didn't survive
a Genesis explosion

580
00:25:57,402 --> 00:25:58,882
just so I could get
hugged to death.

581
00:25:58,926 --> 00:26:00,144
We're just really happy

582
00:26:00,188 --> 00:26:01,232
-you're back.
-Thanks, Boims.

583
00:26:01,276 --> 00:26:03,670
I feel like I really am back

584
00:26:03,713 --> 00:26:05,541
for the first time in a while.

585
00:26:05,585 --> 00:26:07,195
I've been kind of
all over the place

586
00:26:07,238 --> 00:26:08,326
the past few months.

587
00:26:08,370 --> 00:26:09,937
I was processing
some heavy stuff

588
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:12,243
and taking it out
on everyone else.

589
00:26:12,287 --> 00:26:14,550
-I'm sorry.
-Apology not accepted.

590
00:26:14,594 --> 00:26:16,291
Because we're here for you
no matter what.

591
00:26:16,334 --> 00:26:18,119
Yeah, I think I have
a handle on it now.

592
00:26:18,162 --> 00:26:21,165
You know, I-I might even try
not self-sabotaging for once.

593
00:26:21,209 --> 00:26:22,689
I'll see how that goes.

594
00:26:22,732 --> 00:26:24,821
Huh, that sounds
remarkably healthy.

595
00:26:24,865 --> 00:26:26,867
Okay, everybody shut up,
me included.

596
00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:28,695
Let's get drunk.

597
00:26:28,738 --> 00:26:30,044
Oh, thank God.
There you are. [chuckles]

598
00:26:31,088 --> 00:26:33,656
-Livik.
-Rutherford.

599
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:35,266
Wait, I thought you guys
liked each other now.

600
00:26:35,310 --> 00:26:36,920
No, no, no.
Only when we're Twaining.

601
00:26:36,964 --> 00:26:38,922
Perhaps you need to work
on your leadership skills,

602
00:26:38,966 --> 00:26:40,228
Mr. Rutherford.

603
00:26:40,271 --> 00:26:42,665
Oh, boy.
Someone's got captain fever.

604
00:26:42,709 --> 00:26:44,667
Oh, do I sound "captainy"
to you?

605
00:26:44,711 --> 00:26:47,148
Because Ransom was very happy
with my captaining.

606
00:26:47,191 --> 00:26:49,193
I like how this has
in no way gone to your head.

607
00:26:49,237 --> 00:26:50,542
You know what, Boims?

608
00:26:50,586 --> 00:26:52,240
I think this is really
working for you.

609
00:26:52,283 --> 00:26:53,937
This is a good look.
You should tell my mom

610
00:26:53,981 --> 00:26:55,243
-you want captain's lessons.
-BOIMLER: Really?

611
00:26:55,286 --> 00:26:56,636
You think she'd do that?

612
00:26:56,679 --> 00:26:57,898
-Who was that?
-My former commander,

613
00:26:57,941 --> 00:26:59,943
-Captain Sokel.
-What?!

614
00:26:59,987 --> 00:27:02,206
But what if he wanted you
to return to the Vulcan fleet?

615
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:04,078
After today's events,
I'm sure he did.

616
00:27:04,121 --> 00:27:06,994
But instead, I prefer
to focus my time

617
00:27:07,037 --> 00:27:09,126
on becoming your science bestie.

618
00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:11,041
Oh! Don't you say that
if you don't mean it.

619
00:27:11,085 --> 00:27:13,391
Why would I say anything
I do not mean?

620
00:27:13,435 --> 00:27:15,306
Oh, man, this is the best.
Everything's working out.

621
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:16,917
Ooh, this is when we chant
"lower decks."

622
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,919
I don't know.
We kinda do it a lot.

623
00:27:18,962 --> 00:27:20,181
Oh, come on. It's my favorite.

624
00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:22,400
Uh... okay, fine.

625
00:27:22,444 --> 00:27:24,664
ALL:
Lower decks! Lower decks!

626
00:27:24,707 --> 00:27:27,492
Lower decks! Lower decks!

627
00:27:27,536 --> 00:27:28,668
Lower decks!
Lower decks!

00:27:30,626 --> 00:27:31,714
We were just about to get rowdy.

630
00:27:31,758 --> 00:27:32,715
Do you want to join us?

631
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:36,327
[sighs] Lieutenant.

632
00:27:36,371 --> 00:27:39,113
You've been requested
to return to Orion.

633
00:27:39,156 --> 00:27:41,028
-Your sister sent a ship.
-Already?

634
00:27:41,071 --> 00:27:43,160
D'Erika doesn't waste any time.

635
00:27:43,204 --> 00:27:44,727
In the spirit of being a pirate,

636
00:27:44,771 --> 00:27:46,337
perhaps you should simply
refuse to go.

637
00:27:46,381 --> 00:27:49,819
No, this is something
I have to do for myself.

638
00:27:56,043 --> 00:27:57,697
This can't be it, right?

639
00:27:57,740 --> 00:28:00,787
I mean, who's gonna help me
with the plasma conduits?

640
00:28:00,830 --> 00:28:03,180
Keep them clear of any buildup
while I'm gone, okay?

641
00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:05,748
-Okey dokey.
-Okey dokey.

642
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:14,322
Do you think they'll
give her time

643
00:28:14,365 --> 00:28:15,497
to do a little science?

644
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:17,020
Unlikely but possible.

645
00:28:17,064 --> 00:28:18,718
Something tells me those Orions
have bit off

646
00:28:18,761 --> 00:28:19,980
a lot more than they can chew.

647
00:28:20,023 --> 00:28:21,764
Yeah. Tendi loves Starfleet.

648
00:28:21,808 --> 00:28:23,418
-She'll be back in no time.
-Come on.

649
00:28:23,461 --> 00:28:25,420
We got some lieutenant junior
grading to do.

-When's our next briefing?
-0900.

651
00:28:27,117 --> 00:28:29,772
Something to do with repairs
to the warp manifold.

652

Hey, that's Rutherford stuff.
You'll have fun.

[weak chuckle] Yeah.

654
00:28:33,254 --> 00:28:35,299
