WEBVTT

00:00:43.777 --> 00:00:45.878 align:center
Doctor's personal log.

00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:50.083 align:center
Stardate 869372.1.

00:00:51.384 --> 00:00:55.020 align:center
"The sky is beginning to show
some streaks of light

00:00:55.021 --> 00:00:57.123 align:center
over in the East."

00:00:57.891 --> 00:01:00.859 align:center
How many dawns have I seen?

00:01:00.860 --> 00:01:05.764 align:center
Alone, while most of the crew
is on the verge of waking,

00:01:05.765 --> 00:01:08.067 align:center
with a new perspective

00:01:08.068 --> 00:01:11.504 align:center
granted by a good night's rest.

00:01:13.006 --> 00:01:16.075 align:center
It's an illusion, I want to say.

00:01:16.076 --> 00:01:20.946 align:center
I was here the whole time,
and nothing has changed.

00:01:20.947 --> 00:01:24.650 align:center
But time is their beast.

00:01:24.651 --> 00:01:27.219 align:center
Time is my beast.

00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:29.722 align:center
It bites us differently.

00:01:38.098 --> 00:01:41.433 align:center
Cadet Tarima Sadal
is returning to us today

00:01:41.434 --> 00:01:45.271 align:center
after having made
a full recovery from her coma.

00:01:46.039 --> 00:01:51.110 align:center
The Betazoids have given her
a new evolved neuro-inhibitor

00:01:51.111 --> 00:01:53.912 align:center
that will allow her
to control her abilities

00:01:53.913 --> 00:01:57.049 align:center
without risk of self-harm.

00:01:57.050 --> 00:02:00.119 align:center
The decision has been made
to transfer her

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.491 align:center
to Starfleet Academy for
the remainder of her studies.

00:02:05.225 --> 00:02:07.292 align:center
While her body has healed,

00:02:07.293 --> 00:02:13.298 align:center
her mind and spirit
will likely take more time.

00:02:13.299 --> 00:02:16.468 align:center
Cadet Sadal, welcome.

00:02:16.469 --> 00:02:19.706 align:center
The Doctor and I wanted
to be here at your arrival.

00:02:20.473 --> 00:02:22.774 align:center
Yes, Chancellor.
I assume that's why you're...

00:02:22.775 --> 00:02:25.411 align:center
That's why we're here,
of course.

00:02:26.146 --> 00:02:28.347 align:center
I'm sure having
Starfleet council,

00:02:28.348 --> 00:02:30.582 align:center
Chancellor Kelrec and myself

00:02:30.583 --> 00:02:32.084 align:center
make the decision
to relocate you

00:02:32.085 --> 00:02:34.286 align:center
from the War College
to Starfleet Academy

00:02:34.287 --> 00:02:36.656 align:center
must be challenging.

00:02:38.024 --> 00:02:40.225 align:center
Cadet Sadal,

00:02:40.226 --> 00:02:42.995 align:center
the extraordinary
empathic abilities you displayed

00:02:42.996 --> 00:02:45.664 align:center
on the Miyazaki saved lives,

00:02:45.665 --> 00:02:48.233 align:center
at great personal cost.

00:02:48.234 --> 00:02:51.103 align:center
However, your network
of mirror neurons

00:02:51.104 --> 00:02:54.706 align:center
will not survive
another such incident.

00:02:54.707 --> 00:02:58.710 align:center
You exist
in an intricate balance.

00:02:58.711 --> 00:03:00.213 align:center
Sir.

00:03:01.981 --> 00:03:04.850 align:center
Commitment to a specialty
in science or research

00:03:04.851 --> 00:03:06.385 align:center
is paramount to your safety.

00:03:06.386 --> 00:03:08.453 align:center
That wouldn't have been possible
at the War College.

00:03:08.454 --> 00:03:10.155 align:center
I-I understand
the decision, sir.

00:03:10.156 --> 00:03:12.592 align:center
We offer counseling and support.

00:03:14.894 --> 00:03:17.530 align:center
Let us know what you need.

00:03:24.204 --> 00:03:26.238 align:center
What? Huh?

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:27.773 align:center
You gonna do something?

00:03:27.774 --> 00:03:29.708 align:center
Huh? Yeah, thought so.

00:03:29.709 --> 00:03:34.446 align:center
Man, it's feeling
pretty combustible in here.

00:03:36.282 --> 00:03:39.618 align:center
Guys, I'm picking up
an unusual spike in pyroxene--

00:03:39.619 --> 00:03:41.353 align:center
No shit, we're in
an asteroid field, Ocam!

00:03:41.354 --> 00:03:43.655 align:center
Panic will lead us
to destruction.

00:03:43.656 --> 00:03:46.892 align:center
The cadets are struggling
to get along.

00:03:46.893 --> 00:03:49.494 align:center
The lasting effects of the
Miyazaki are still with us.

00:03:49.495 --> 00:03:51.296 align:center
We need to alter our course.

00:03:51.297 --> 00:03:52.798 align:center
We need to power up our shields.

00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:54.199 align:center
Who is giving the orders here?

00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:55.667 align:center
You're supposed to be
working together.

00:03:55.668 --> 00:03:57.002 align:center
Unidentified contact incoming.

00:03:57.003 --> 00:03:59.138 align:center
Yeah, no kidding.

00:03:59.906 --> 00:04:01.673 align:center
- We're all gonna die!
- It's a comet.

00:04:01.674 --> 00:04:03.141 align:center
What do you want me to do?

00:04:03.142 --> 00:04:04.209 align:center
- Aft thrusters.
- Fore thrusters

00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:05.477 align:center
Which one is it?

00:04:05.478 --> 00:04:06.378 align:center
Neither! Are you
seriously asking that?

00:04:08.114 --> 00:04:09.748 align:center
Catastrophic damage.

00:04:09.749 --> 00:04:13.452 align:center
All crew lost.
Simulation complete.

00:04:13.453 --> 00:04:15.187 align:center
Congratulations.

00:04:15.188 --> 00:04:19.391 align:center
That was a spectacular failure
of teamwork.

00:04:19.392 --> 00:04:22.060 align:center
Everyone, get the hell off
the bridge now. Thank you.

00:04:22.061 --> 00:04:23.595 align:center
Trauma counseling

00:04:23.596 --> 00:04:25.130 align:center
doesn't seem to be enough.

00:04:25.131 --> 00:04:26.965 align:center
Our kids need more help.

00:04:26.966 --> 00:04:29.301 align:center
We need some
serious reinforcements.

00:04:29.302 --> 00:04:30.936 align:center
Do you think we ought--

00:04:30.937 --> 00:04:33.438 align:center
I do think, we do ought,

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.575 align:center
and I'm already trying
something weird.

00:04:36.376 --> 00:04:40.145 align:center
Buckle up, she's gonna be here
any minute.

00:04:40.146 --> 00:04:41.814 align:center
Hmm.

00:04:45.852 --> 00:04:47.819 align:center
Hey. Why are we here?

00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:52.257 align:center
Unclear. My PADD redirected me.

00:04:52.258 --> 00:04:54.060 align:center
Mine, too.

00:04:57.630 --> 00:05:00.065 align:center
- Are you all right?
- I am fine.

00:05:00.066 --> 00:05:02.768 align:center
So, I was moving our stuff
this morning,

00:05:02.769 --> 00:05:06.238 align:center
and I dropped your toothbrush
in the toilet.

00:05:06.239 --> 00:05:08.540 align:center
- What? Gross.
- Sorry.

00:05:08.541 --> 00:05:09.941 align:center
Why were you moving our stuff?

00:05:09.942 --> 00:05:11.977 align:center
Well, 'cause Tarima's
gonna room with us.

00:05:11.978 --> 00:05:14.346 align:center
I saw it on the roster, so...

00:05:14.347 --> 00:05:17.517 align:center
Wait. Here?

00:05:19.218 --> 00:05:21.220 align:center
Tarima's coming here?

00:05:47.513 --> 00:05:49.314 align:center
Oh, you're all still asleep.

00:05:49.315 --> 00:05:52.784 align:center
Wakey, wakey,
raktajino and bakey.

00:05:52.785 --> 00:05:54.119 align:center
Eyes up, cadets.

00:05:55.521 --> 00:05:57.222 align:center
I'm Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly.

00:05:57.223 --> 00:06:00.192 align:center
I'm on rotation in the Beta
Quadrant with the third-years.

00:06:00.193 --> 00:06:01.893 align:center
However, per the chancellor,

00:06:01.894 --> 00:06:05.698 align:center
this class has been mandated
for you, so you get me early.

00:06:07.066 --> 00:06:09.000 align:center
Cadet Reymi, Lieutenant.

00:06:09.001 --> 00:06:11.236 align:center
Uh, may I ask
what course this is?

00:06:11.237 --> 00:06:12.504 align:center
Theater.

00:06:20.246 --> 00:06:23.048 align:center
Sorry, Lieutenant,
what does theater have

00:06:23.049 --> 00:06:24.816 align:center
- anything to do with--
- Eight out of ten cadets

00:06:24.817 --> 00:06:26.051 align:center
ask that question.

00:06:26.052 --> 00:06:28.553 align:center
The other two become captains.

00:06:28.554 --> 00:06:31.857 align:center
- But captains don't do--
- What if I told you

00:06:31.858 --> 00:06:35.227 align:center
that theater is one
of the most powerful tools

00:06:35.228 --> 00:06:37.195 align:center
for social and political change?

00:06:37.196 --> 00:06:39.731 align:center
Theater is statecraft.

00:06:39.732 --> 00:06:41.900 align:center
Statecraft is theater.

00:06:41.901 --> 00:06:43.902 align:center
It's the kind of stuff
you overachievers get all

00:06:43.903 --> 00:06:47.773 align:center
hot and bothered over,
so chew on that

00:06:47.774 --> 00:06:50.041 align:center
till you get it
and it changes your life.

00:06:50.042 --> 00:06:53.413 align:center
Please change my life,
Lieutenant.

00:06:54.247 --> 00:06:57.849 align:center
Favorite. Homework: find a play.

00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:00.018 align:center
I'll select one
that suits our purposes.

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:02.754 align:center
We will read it out loud,
discuss, dissect,

00:07:02.755 --> 00:07:04.423 align:center
and for those of you
still bristling

00:07:04.424 --> 00:07:07.492 align:center
with confusion
and/or resentment,

00:07:07.493 --> 00:07:09.928 align:center
I don't care.

00:07:09.929 --> 00:07:12.764 align:center
- Fail this, fail the semester.
- What?

00:07:12.765 --> 00:07:15.534 align:center
So get excited, little chickens.

00:07:15.535 --> 00:07:19.738 align:center
Tomorrow, we theater.

00:07:33.786 --> 00:07:35.487 align:center
I just switched
from Klingon musical theater

00:07:35.488 --> 00:07:38.290 align:center
to 20th-century
Earth melodramas.

00:07:38.291 --> 00:07:40.125 align:center
This is incredible.

00:07:40.126 --> 00:07:44.162 align:center
I'm halfway through.

00:07:44.163 --> 00:07:45.664 align:center
Which play?

00:07:45.665 --> 00:07:48.934 align:center
All of them.

00:07:48.935 --> 00:07:51.470 align:center
I love plays.

00:07:51.471 --> 00:07:53.638 align:center
- Okay.
- They're art.

00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.006 align:center
They-they didn't exist

00:07:55.007 --> 00:07:57.409 align:center
until they came out
of someone's brain.

00:07:57.410 --> 00:07:59.911 align:center
It's like this pillow.

00:07:59.912 --> 00:08:04.483 align:center
This pillow is the manifestation
of somebody's creative impulse.

00:08:04.484 --> 00:08:07.419 align:center
Th-This pillow is theater.

00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:08.987 align:center
Sorry.

00:08:08.988 --> 00:08:11.156 align:center
I've learned that I am a lot.

00:08:11.157 --> 00:08:13.458 align:center
On a good day,
I'm a little bit much.

00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.026 align:center
On rare occasions...

00:08:15.027 --> 00:08:16.161 align:center
I'm "Whoa, Sam!"

00:08:16.162 --> 00:08:18.396 align:center
"Slow to impulse.

00:08:18.397 --> 00:08:20.899 align:center
"I'm not even up yet, and I just
can't with your midday energy

00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:23.435 align:center
before I even pull my underwear
out of my butt."

00:08:23.436 --> 00:08:25.370 align:center
Oh.

00:08:25.371 --> 00:08:28.006 align:center
- True story.
- Don't apologize.

00:08:28.007 --> 00:08:29.674 align:center
Honestly, you're
the first person here

00:08:29.675 --> 00:08:31.878 align:center
who's not looking at me
like I'm a total freak.

00:08:34.847 --> 00:08:39.384 align:center
Have you... laughed before now?
I mean, since...

00:08:39.385 --> 00:08:42.554 align:center
since you've been here?

00:08:42.555 --> 00:08:44.289 align:center
Yeah, it's confusing.

00:08:44.290 --> 00:08:48.060 align:center
Something happens,
something... big.

00:08:48.895 --> 00:08:52.130 align:center
And... it's with you
all the time,

00:08:52.131 --> 00:08:55.700 align:center
but you just
have to keep living.

00:08:55.701 --> 00:08:59.371 align:center
And you still
find reasons to laugh,

00:08:59.372 --> 00:09:01.741 align:center
which is absurd.

00:09:02.875 --> 00:09:05.143 align:center
It-it feels like...

00:09:05.144 --> 00:09:07.613 align:center
Doesn't feel like anything.

00:09:08.681 --> 00:09:10.549 align:center
Oh.

00:09:10.550 --> 00:09:12.118 align:center
Sorry.

00:09:15.321 --> 00:09:16.622 align:center
Ah!

00:09:18.824 --> 00:09:19.891 align:center
No.

00:09:19.892 --> 00:09:22.595 align:center
Sam, I'm-I'm sorry.

00:09:24.597 --> 00:09:26.299 align:center
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:29.335 align:center
I'm good.

00:09:31.037 --> 00:09:33.272 align:center
I'm good.

00:11:39.231 --> 00:11:43.034 align:center
Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly.

00:11:43.035 --> 00:11:45.103 align:center
Well, the rumor's true.
She's here.

00:11:45.104 --> 00:11:46.905 align:center
You know, I could feel it
in my teeth.

00:11:46.906 --> 00:11:49.708 align:center
Like, right at the back
of my molars.

00:11:49.709 --> 00:11:52.610 align:center
They started to hurt
like after you eat cookie dough.

00:11:52.611 --> 00:11:54.913 align:center
It's okay to love. Mmm...

00:11:54.914 --> 00:11:58.883 align:center
Mm, is it? Your relentless
optimism is nightmarish.

00:11:58.884 --> 00:12:00.552 align:center
We are the women time forgot.

00:12:00.553 --> 00:12:03.121 align:center
Optimism is me paddling
my freaking canoe.

00:12:03.122 --> 00:12:06.392 align:center
- What are we having?
- Something with a proof.

00:12:07.693 --> 00:12:08.893 align:center
Yeah.

00:12:08.894 --> 00:12:11.262 align:center
I, uh, I read
about the Miyazaki.

00:12:11.263 --> 00:12:12.363 align:center
How are they?

00:12:12.364 --> 00:12:14.933 align:center
Right in the thick of it.

00:12:14.934 --> 00:12:16.901 align:center
How does that saying go?

00:12:16.902 --> 00:12:20.505 align:center
"It's not the load that breaks
you but how you carry it"?

00:12:20.506 --> 00:12:23.308 align:center
They have no idea
how to carry it.

00:12:23.309 --> 00:12:25.577 align:center
None. That's why I called you.

00:12:25.578 --> 00:12:27.112 align:center
They need serious
trauma counseling

00:12:27.113 --> 00:12:29.447 align:center
without knowing
it's trauma counseling.

00:12:29.448 --> 00:12:30.782 align:center
Yes.

00:12:30.783 --> 00:12:32.751 align:center
I need you to work
your magic with them.

00:12:32.752 --> 00:12:35.920 align:center
Well, ambition will get some
of them to at least participate.

00:12:35.921 --> 00:12:39.090 align:center
Others have, understandably,
lost their metric.

00:12:39.091 --> 00:12:40.291 align:center
Tarima.

00:12:40.292 --> 00:12:41.693 align:center
Been there.

00:12:41.694 --> 00:12:43.394 align:center
What got you guys through?

00:12:43.395 --> 00:12:45.597 align:center
Starfleet.

00:12:45.598 --> 00:12:47.232 align:center
I'll remember that.

00:12:47.233 --> 00:12:49.567 align:center
I was starting to think
this whole endeavor is just

00:12:49.568 --> 00:12:50.935 align:center
too much, too soon.

00:12:50.936 --> 00:12:53.404 align:center
Nobody's ever ready, Captain.

00:12:53.405 --> 00:12:55.507 align:center
Have you met Sam?

00:12:55.508 --> 00:12:57.408 align:center
Favorite.

00:12:57.409 --> 00:12:58.977 align:center
So joyful.

00:12:58.978 --> 00:13:00.145 align:center
Ode to joy?

00:13:00.146 --> 00:13:01.847 align:center
Yeah, baby.

00:13:07.086 --> 00:13:09.988 align:center
You were one of them
not so long ago.

00:13:09.989 --> 00:13:14.093 align:center
Bring them to port, Lieutenant.

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.029 align:center
Aye, Captain.

00:13:24.770 --> 00:13:27.138 align:center
Hey.

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.575 align:center
You adjusting?

00:13:30.976 --> 00:13:33.144 align:center
Look, I sound like an asshole,

00:13:33.145 --> 00:13:35.313 align:center
but I don't really know
what to say.

00:13:35.314 --> 00:13:37.616 align:center
Do you need anything?

00:13:39.385 --> 00:13:41.554 align:center
Why can't you look at me?

00:13:43.789 --> 00:13:46.458 align:center
What am I looking for exactly?

00:13:54.333 --> 00:13:56.201 align:center
At the climax,

00:13:56.202 --> 00:13:59.170 align:center
as the rival house
eats the warrior stew,

00:13:59.171 --> 00:14:02.140 align:center
you learn that they've
been served...

00:14:02.141 --> 00:14:06.477 align:center
they've been served the hearts
and the quadri-testicles

00:14:06.478 --> 00:14:08.479 align:center
of their fathers before them.

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.650 align:center
Blood slashes ankle-deep
on the stage,

00:14:12.651 --> 00:14:16.855 align:center
and there is rejoicing
throughout the land.

00:14:16.856 --> 00:14:19.290 align:center
Okay.

00:14:19.291 --> 00:14:21.826 align:center
Yes, uh, just so powerful,

00:14:21.827 --> 00:14:24.696 align:center
uh, and just well-told.

00:14:24.697 --> 00:14:27.498 align:center
I do love me some Klingon opera.

00:14:27.499 --> 00:14:28.933 align:center
The, uh, the passion,

00:14:28.934 --> 00:14:32.403 align:center
the intrigue, the murder.

00:14:32.404 --> 00:14:34.005 align:center
So much murder.

00:14:34.006 --> 00:14:35.673 align:center
Bless you.

00:14:35.674 --> 00:14:39.577 align:center
- Are you sick?
- I am embattled with Jaqh-VoD.

00:14:39.578 --> 00:14:42.547 align:center
He means to say he's got a cold
that he refuses to take care of.

00:14:42.548 --> 00:14:46.084 align:center
- Might be contagious.
- Ah. Jay-Den,

00:14:46.085 --> 00:14:47.518 align:center
you're excused from this class.

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.254 align:center
Please return to your quarters
and quarantine

00:14:49.255 --> 00:14:51.189 align:center
until this runs its course.

00:14:51.190 --> 00:14:52.690 align:center
Yes, Lieutenant.

00:14:52.691 --> 00:14:54.726 align:center
Best of luck to you all
in your future endeavors.

00:14:54.727 --> 00:14:57.428 align:center
- Okay, who's next?
- Me, me, me.

00:14:57.429 --> 00:14:59.864 align:center
- Me, me, me.
- Sam.

00:15:01.233 --> 00:15:04.068 align:center
Yes-yes-yes-yes.
Hello, hello. My name is Sam.

00:15:04.069 --> 00:15:07.906 align:center
My play is from ancient Earth.

00:15:07.907 --> 00:15:09.674 align:center
It's a thousand years old.

00:15:09.675 --> 00:15:12.043 align:center
It's called Our Town
by Thornton Wilder.

00:15:12.044 --> 00:15:16.681 align:center
- Oh.
- It's about not much.

00:15:16.682 --> 00:15:21.352 align:center
Small town, little moments, but
I must be developing instinct

00:15:21.353 --> 00:15:26.524 align:center
because it's about
something else at the same time.

00:15:26.525 --> 00:15:28.393 align:center
- Something bigger.
- Ugh. No.

00:15:28.394 --> 00:15:30.428 align:center
Jay-Den's
hearts and testicles comedy

00:15:30.429 --> 00:15:31.629 align:center
sounds way more interesting.

00:15:31.630 --> 00:15:32.830 align:center
It-It's just people

00:15:32.831 --> 00:15:34.365 align:center
in these tiny moments.

00:15:34.366 --> 00:15:35.967 align:center
Emily and George.

00:15:35.968 --> 00:15:38.536 align:center
They are kids,

00:15:38.537 --> 00:15:40.271 align:center
and they're teens in love,

00:15:40.272 --> 00:15:42.740 align:center
and then they get married.

00:15:42.741 --> 00:15:45.076 align:center
She dies, and then she tries

00:15:45.077 --> 00:15:46.978 align:center
- to get back to the way she...
- How is this relevant

00:15:46.979 --> 00:15:48.981 align:center
to-- I don't know--
flying a starship?

00:15:49.748 --> 00:15:52.617 align:center
Well, it's relevant to people,

00:15:52.618 --> 00:15:53.952 align:center
to organics.

00:15:53.953 --> 00:15:56.754 align:center
Something about
their essential nature.

00:15:56.755 --> 00:16:00.258 align:center
Something I love.
I can't articulate it exactly,

00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:03.261 align:center
but it's real.

00:16:03.262 --> 00:16:08.133 align:center
And has something to do
with a sort of hopeful defiance.

00:16:09.902 --> 00:16:13.371 align:center
Does that make sense?

00:16:13.372 --> 00:16:14.806 align:center
Absolutely.

00:16:14.807 --> 00:16:17.175 align:center
- Mm-mm.
- I know that play. It's perfect.

00:16:17.176 --> 00:16:20.078 align:center
Sam, you'll read Emily?

00:16:20.079 --> 00:16:21.012 align:center
Yeah?

00:16:21.013 --> 00:16:22.814 align:center
- May I?
- Y... y...

00:16:22.815 --> 00:16:23.948 align:center
Thanks.

00:16:23.949 --> 00:16:25.249 align:center
Uh, Ocam--

00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:27.618 align:center
- Stage Manager.
- Sick.

00:16:27.619 --> 00:16:29.687 align:center
Caleb-- George.

00:16:29.688 --> 00:16:33.491 align:center
Genesis--
George's mom Mrs. Gibbs.

00:16:37.396 --> 00:16:38.796 align:center
I'm your mom?

00:16:38.797 --> 00:16:40.531 align:center
I'm so horrified,
I don't even know what to say.

00:16:40.532 --> 00:16:44.202 align:center
You lost a step, Mir. No shame,
but a little bit of shame.

00:16:44.203 --> 00:16:45.470 align:center
Okay.

00:16:45.471 --> 00:16:47.372 align:center
This quote.
"The life of the village

00:16:47.373 --> 00:16:50.042 align:center
against the life of the stars."

00:16:52.644 --> 00:16:54.413 align:center
Tarima, what do you think
that means?

00:16:58.283 --> 00:17:00.885 align:center
Uh, well,
this is an ancient play,

00:17:00.886 --> 00:17:03.488 align:center
so they hadn't figured out
a star's life cycle yet,

00:17:03.489 --> 00:17:08.426 align:center
but Earth was on
the verge of a war,

00:17:08.427 --> 00:17:10.461 align:center
and they knew a village had--

00:17:10.462 --> 00:17:12.897 align:center
it had a life

00:17:12.898 --> 00:17:15.534 align:center
and a final day.

00:17:16.668 --> 00:17:19.237 align:center
Yes, but finality...

00:17:19.238 --> 00:17:21.673 align:center
is...

00:17:22.708 --> 00:17:24.276 align:center
Doctor.

00:17:24.910 --> 00:17:26.944 align:center
- Incoming cadet.
- Sam?

00:17:26.945 --> 00:17:28.212 align:center
Immediate attention required.

00:17:28.213 --> 00:17:29.447 align:center
Stand back, give her space.

00:17:29.448 --> 00:17:30.681 align:center
Sam, Sam, hey, wake up.

00:17:30.682 --> 00:17:31.716 align:center
Where's the Doctor?

00:17:31.717 --> 00:17:33.952 align:center
Sam!

00:17:40.325 --> 00:17:42.895 align:center
Full system scan in progress.

00:17:47.566 --> 00:17:51.869 align:center
The patch the holo-engineers
made has been failing for weeks.

00:17:51.870 --> 00:17:54.640 align:center
Why is this the first
you've come to me?

00:17:59.912 --> 00:18:02.046 align:center
Describe the glitches, please.

00:18:02.047 --> 00:18:05.716 align:center
It feels like...
falling into myself

00:18:05.717 --> 00:18:10.823 align:center
and watching a machine try to
function with no one in control.

00:18:11.623 --> 00:18:14.358 align:center
You're not a machine, Sam.

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.196 align:center
Malfunction detected.

00:18:18.030 --> 00:18:21.166 align:center
Full system scan complete.

00:18:31.910 --> 00:18:33.612 align:center
How we doing?

00:18:37.282 --> 00:18:40.151 align:center
Her processors have been
overloading for weeks.

00:18:40.152 --> 00:18:41.853 align:center
Ever since the Miyazaki.

00:18:41.854 --> 00:18:46.224 align:center
Despite her repeated visits
to the holo-spa, it persists.

00:18:46.225 --> 00:18:47.825 align:center
The overloads
cause the glitches.

00:18:47.826 --> 00:18:51.329 align:center
Each glitch triggers
her reset circuit,

00:18:51.330 --> 00:18:53.931 align:center
which overloads,
causing another glitch.

00:18:53.932 --> 00:18:56.234 align:center
It's self-generating.

00:18:56.235 --> 00:18:59.070 align:center
- A loop.
- Okay.

00:18:59.071 --> 00:19:00.671 align:center
So how do we break it?

00:19:00.672 --> 00:19:03.474 align:center
Why are my processors
overloading at all?

00:19:03.475 --> 00:19:05.843 align:center
I don't know.

00:19:05.844 --> 00:19:09.414 align:center
I don't know
how to fix you, Sam.

00:19:17.055 --> 00:19:18.789 align:center
Could we go to Kasq?

00:19:18.790 --> 00:19:20.491 align:center
Kasq.

00:19:20.492 --> 00:19:21.859 align:center
The Makers are on Kasq.

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:23.661 align:center
Kasq is a world of photonics.

00:19:23.662 --> 00:19:25.496 align:center
It's not part of the Federation.

00:19:25.497 --> 00:19:27.098 align:center
We couldn't keep tabs on you,

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:28.499 align:center
and there's no way
of guaranteeing

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:29.867 align:center
they'd let you return.

00:19:29.868 --> 00:19:33.405 align:center
Provided you want to come back.
Do you?

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:35.907 align:center
All right.

00:19:35.908 --> 00:19:37.775 align:center
Photonic or not,

00:19:37.776 --> 00:19:41.179 align:center
they'll have a harder time
if she has escorts, Doctor.

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:43.181 align:center
Federation escorts.

00:19:43.182 --> 00:19:45.583 align:center
We'll take you, Sam. Both of us.

00:19:45.584 --> 00:19:47.852 align:center
I'll ready the transport.

00:19:47.853 --> 00:19:49.888 align:center
Suit up.

00:19:55.727 --> 00:19:57.829 align:center
Hmm.

00:20:06.071 --> 00:20:08.406 align:center
Shuttle Five
has been cleared for departure.

00:20:08.407 --> 00:20:10.542 align:center
Good luck, Chancellor.

00:20:24.389 --> 00:20:26.824 align:center
I can't believe she just left.

00:20:26.825 --> 00:20:28.593 align:center
Yeah, it must be serious.

00:20:28.594 --> 00:20:31.964 align:center
I guess they couldn't
waste any time.

00:20:57.256 --> 00:21:00.224 align:center
You got the play and I got a...

00:21:00.225 --> 00:21:02.727 align:center
I got a toothbrush?

00:21:02.728 --> 00:21:04.596 align:center
Hey, you can be Emily.

00:21:10.035 --> 00:21:11.636 align:center
Yeah, well, uh,

00:21:11.637 --> 00:21:13.905 align:center
Sam wanted you, so...

00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:17.142 align:center
...don't be a dick.

00:21:19.211 --> 00:21:20.445 align:center
Yeah.

00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:22.546 align:center
Tarima,

00:21:22.547 --> 00:21:25.549 align:center
I understand
you'll be our Emily now?

00:21:25.550 --> 00:21:27.152 align:center
Mm-hmm.

00:21:28.287 --> 00:21:30.721 align:center
Great. Okay.

00:21:30.722 --> 00:21:32.323 align:center
Uh, I want to jump around
a little bit today,

00:21:32.324 --> 00:21:36.060 align:center
so, act two, the wedding
of Emily and George.

00:21:36.061 --> 00:21:39.130 align:center
Lieutenant, it's hard to focus
on whatever this is...

00:21:39.131 --> 00:21:41.065 align:center
Yeah, we don't even know
what's going on with Sam.

00:21:41.066 --> 00:21:42.466 align:center
- Yeah.
- Right now.

00:21:42.467 --> 00:21:43.901 align:center
No one's telling us
anything, so...

00:21:43.902 --> 00:21:46.337 align:center
- I don't know.
- Sam is headed to her world.

00:21:46.338 --> 00:21:47.538 align:center
Other than that,
don't speculate.

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:49.340 align:center
It'll hurt more than it helps,

00:21:49.341 --> 00:21:52.977 align:center
and you have a task at hand,
so, page 74.

00:21:52.978 --> 00:21:56.314 align:center
George and Emily arrive
at the church for their wedding,

00:21:56.315 --> 00:21:58.549 align:center
both trying to get out of it.

00:21:58.550 --> 00:21:59.718 align:center
Cadet Ocam?

00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:03.254 align:center
"Emily, wearing
her wedding veil...

00:22:03.255 --> 00:22:05.189 align:center
"she, too, draws back,

00:22:05.190 --> 00:22:09.328 align:center
frightened when she sees
the congregation."

00:22:11.830 --> 00:22:13.532 align:center
Emily?

00:22:16.935 --> 00:22:20.071 align:center
"I never felt so alone
in my whole life.

00:22:20.072 --> 00:22:22.973 align:center
"And George over there,
looking so...

00:22:22.974 --> 00:22:23.908 align:center
"I hate him.

00:22:23.909 --> 00:22:25.609 align:center
I wish I were dead."

00:22:25.610 --> 00:22:28.347 align:center
Wow, okay.
"I don't want to get married."

00:22:29.114 --> 00:22:32.550 align:center
"Why can't I stay for a while
just as I am?"

00:22:32.551 --> 00:22:35.319 align:center
For real, Lieutenant,

00:22:35.320 --> 00:22:38.356 align:center
- why does...?
- None of us know
what this scene's about.

00:22:38.357 --> 00:22:39.790 align:center
None of us care.

00:22:39.791 --> 00:22:41.025 align:center
Sam cares.

00:22:41.026 --> 00:22:43.127 align:center
Don't be the captain
who tears down.

00:22:43.128 --> 00:22:44.995 align:center
Be the captain who lifts up.

00:22:44.996 --> 00:22:47.165 align:center
And what do you think
it means, Cadet?

00:22:52.637 --> 00:22:55.906 align:center
There's an expectation
on them...

00:22:55.907 --> 00:22:58.142 align:center
to get married...

00:22:58.143 --> 00:23:00.611 align:center
and be happy...

00:23:00.612 --> 00:23:05.683 align:center
but they leave it too long
before saying...

00:23:05.684 --> 00:23:07.085 align:center
what they want.

00:23:08.754 --> 00:23:10.222 align:center
Who they really want.

00:23:11.356 --> 00:23:13.557 align:center
Surprisingly real.

00:23:13.558 --> 00:23:15.393 align:center
I think there's
a little more there.

00:23:15.394 --> 00:23:17.395 align:center
Anyone?

00:23:17.396 --> 00:23:19.164 align:center
Mir?

00:23:20.432 --> 00:23:25.737 align:center
I don't know, maybe he doesn't
want what he's supposed to want.

00:23:26.772 --> 00:23:29.306 align:center
The things everyone else
seems to want.

00:23:29.307 --> 00:23:31.876 align:center
Good. Tarima.

00:23:31.877 --> 00:23:35.981 align:center
Emily says
she hates George. Why?

00:23:37.215 --> 00:23:39.550 align:center
She loved him
seconds before this moment,

00:23:39.551 --> 00:23:42.420 align:center
so now she's never felt
so alone?

00:23:42.421 --> 00:23:45.589 align:center
Sorry, can't someone
just not want to do this?

00:23:45.590 --> 00:23:46.924 align:center
What's this?

00:23:46.925 --> 00:23:49.994 align:center
This, all-all of this.

00:23:49.995 --> 00:23:54.131 align:center
And not be some
epic mental health crisis?

00:23:54.132 --> 00:23:56.467 align:center
Do you believe Emily
is that simple?

00:23:56.468 --> 00:23:59.136 align:center
No, but maybe
it's just one moment

00:23:59.137 --> 00:24:01.973 align:center
and-and she's not trying to...

00:24:04.810 --> 00:24:07.445 align:center
...pull herself apart looking
for some bullshit trauma.

00:24:07.446 --> 00:24:11.683 align:center
Cadet, you're sailing
perilously close to the wind.

00:24:14.986 --> 00:24:16.487 align:center
Sorry, Lieutenant.

00:24:16.488 --> 00:24:20.291 align:center
Okay. Okay, let's get back
to the play, hmm?

00:24:20.292 --> 00:24:23.494 align:center
Stage Manager,
the only character who exists

00:24:23.495 --> 00:24:26.430 align:center
both inside and outside
of the play.

00:24:26.431 --> 00:24:29.266 align:center
What do we think?

00:24:29.267 --> 00:24:30.902 align:center
Cadet Ocam?

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:37.641 align:center
Tell us more
about your world, Sam.

00:24:37.642 --> 00:24:40.945 align:center
I know Kasq exists in a unique

00:24:40.946 --> 00:24:42.980 align:center
configuration of space-time.

00:24:42.981 --> 00:24:45.850 align:center
Yes, with an extreme
gravitational gradient,

00:24:45.851 --> 00:24:47.718 align:center
so time passes faster there.

00:24:47.719 --> 00:24:52.122 align:center
Every three days on Earth
equals five years on Kasq.

00:24:52.123 --> 00:24:55.960 align:center
Voyager encountered
a similar planet,

00:24:55.961 --> 00:24:59.864 align:center
except with
a tachyon core-- Gotana.

00:24:59.865 --> 00:25:02.366 align:center
I experienced
an entire lifetime there

00:25:02.367 --> 00:25:05.569 align:center
in what was 18 minutes
for the ship.

00:25:05.570 --> 00:25:08.072 align:center
The Makers moved to Kasq

00:25:08.073 --> 00:25:10.742 align:center
once the organics
who created them died out.

00:25:11.676 --> 00:25:15.613 align:center
Then they cut off contact
with the entire universe.

00:25:15.614 --> 00:25:18.315 align:center
Thought it was safer.

00:25:18.316 --> 00:25:20.718 align:center
They made you.

00:25:20.719 --> 00:25:22.019 align:center
Their emissary.

00:25:22.020 --> 00:25:24.188 align:center
Here to serve.

00:25:24.189 --> 00:25:26.524 align:center
Hmm.

00:25:26.525 --> 00:25:27.892 align:center
Lot to carry, kid.

00:25:27.893 --> 00:25:30.361 align:center
How would your world perceive

00:25:30.362 --> 00:25:33.731 align:center
an ancient hologram who has
spent his entire existence

00:25:33.732 --> 00:25:35.232 align:center
on Starfleet ships?

00:25:35.233 --> 00:25:36.734 align:center
I told you,

00:25:36.735 --> 00:25:39.971 align:center
as the ideal mentor.

00:25:42.073 --> 00:25:45.376 align:center
Even... even if you haven't
been the greatest,

00:25:45.377 --> 00:25:49.114 align:center
- let's be honest now...
- That was never my purpose.

00:25:53.218 --> 00:25:55.519 align:center
I'm trying to approach this
diagnostically.

00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:58.188 align:center
I don't have time
for any other nonsense.

00:25:58.189 --> 00:26:01.927 align:center
It isn't nonsense. It's my life.

00:26:04.095 --> 00:26:07.164 align:center
A-And-and I need
to talk nonsense

00:26:07.165 --> 00:26:09.300 align:center
because if I'm talking,
it means I'm not gone

00:26:09.301 --> 00:26:11.836 align:center
without having ever lived.

00:26:12.604 --> 00:26:15.172 align:center
You know, you know,
you know what I want?

00:26:15.173 --> 00:26:17.308 align:center
I want to fall on my butt

00:26:17.309 --> 00:26:20.644 align:center
a-and die of humiliation

00:26:20.645 --> 00:26:23.547 align:center
and then have my-my best friend
make me feel better.

00:26:23.548 --> 00:26:26.083 align:center
I want, I want
t-to change my mind six times

00:26:26.084 --> 00:26:29.186 align:center
before ordering,
and I don't even eat.

00:26:29.187 --> 00:26:31.555 align:center
I-I-I want to be a rebel,

00:26:31.556 --> 00:26:35.994 align:center
like Caleb,
like-like the chancellor.

00:26:38.463 --> 00:26:41.732 align:center
I want to fall in love.

00:26:41.733 --> 00:26:43.634 align:center
Have you ever been in love?

00:26:43.635 --> 00:26:45.002 align:center
Can-can you answer?

00:26:45.003 --> 00:26:46.637 align:center
Sam.

00:26:46.638 --> 00:26:48.872 align:center
- Don't tell me it's nonsense.
- Sam,

00:26:48.873 --> 00:26:50.007 align:center
you need to calm down.

00:26:50.008 --> 00:26:51.141 align:center
- You need to rest.
- I got it.

00:26:51.142 --> 00:26:53.511 align:center
I got it. I'm fine. I got it.

00:26:54.412 --> 00:26:55.679 align:center
I'm fine.

00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:56.847 align:center
Series Acclimation Mil.

00:26:56.848 --> 00:26:59.551 align:center
Sleep mode.

00:27:17.102 --> 00:27:18.102 align:center
Incoming message

00:27:18.103 --> 00:27:20.405 align:center
from Tarima Sadal.

00:27:46.498 --> 00:27:48.099 align:center
Got your message.

00:27:48.867 --> 00:27:51.403 align:center
So it would seem.

00:27:53.171 --> 00:27:54.872 align:center
Aren't you gonna say anything?

00:27:54.873 --> 00:27:56.640 align:center
I'm not a mind reader.

00:27:56.641 --> 00:27:58.109 align:center
I just, uh...

00:27:59.477 --> 00:28:01.746 align:center
...don't want to say
the wrong thing.

00:28:04.482 --> 00:28:06.384 align:center
I am, though.

00:28:10.055 --> 00:28:12.123 align:center
A mind reader.

00:28:12.957 --> 00:28:14.591 align:center
You used to get jokes.

00:28:14.592 --> 00:28:18.662 align:center
I'm a little distracted by
your old-timey gunslinger walk.

00:28:18.663 --> 00:28:20.564 align:center
Are you supposed to drink
with your new thing?

00:28:20.565 --> 00:28:23.233 align:center
Tears of Kressari.

00:28:23.234 --> 00:28:26.437 align:center
The ambassador gave it to my
dad. Now it's mine.

00:28:26.438 --> 00:28:29.306 align:center
They age it in barrels made from
native wood that are launched

00:28:29.307 --> 00:28:31.175 align:center
into orbit and float there
for, like, a century.

00:28:31.176 --> 00:28:34.344 align:center
Did you know wood
can survive in space?

00:28:34.345 --> 00:28:36.880 align:center
One shot gives you a nice buzz.
Two gets you wasted.

00:28:36.881 --> 00:28:38.849 align:center
Three lands you in medbay,

00:28:38.850 --> 00:28:40.819 align:center
but happy ending.

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:43.487 align:center
'Cause I got this.

00:28:43.488 --> 00:28:48.626 align:center
My brand-new, noninvasive
neuro-inhibitor.

00:28:49.427 --> 00:28:51.996 align:center
- Mm.
- So I can't hurt anybody.

00:28:57.469 --> 00:29:00.271 align:center
To my inhibitor.

00:29:13.551 --> 00:29:15.420 align:center
I, uh...

00:29:20.825 --> 00:29:22.693 align:center
I missed you.

00:29:22.694 --> 00:29:24.963 align:center
Yeah, I got your message.

00:29:26.297 --> 00:29:28.866 align:center
Guess it took you a while
to send it.

00:29:28.867 --> 00:29:34.005 align:center
Look, I know what it's like
to be here and not want to be.

00:29:35.373 --> 00:29:38.242 align:center
But over time you sort of
give into it, and it's...

00:29:38.243 --> 00:29:39.643 align:center
And then it's like...

00:29:39.644 --> 00:29:43.413 align:center
Like the warm release
of hypothermia. Yeah.

00:29:43.414 --> 00:29:45.082 align:center
Yeah, exactly.

00:29:45.083 --> 00:29:47.751 align:center
It's like a blockade
of excitotoxic mechanisms

00:29:47.752 --> 00:29:49.419 align:center
and cerebral blood flow.

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:51.155 align:center
You fight it till
what's left of your brain

00:29:51.156 --> 00:29:52.990 align:center
dilates its blood vessels,
and then, next thing you know,

00:29:52.991 --> 00:29:55.592 align:center
your bed is made
so warm and tight,

00:29:55.593 --> 00:29:57.528 align:center
it'd survive
the vacuum of space.

00:29:57.529 --> 00:29:59.229 align:center
Bit different
when everyone looks at you

00:29:59.230 --> 00:30:01.199 align:center
like you're a grenade.

00:30:08.973 --> 00:30:11.441 align:center
Put your hand on my mouth.

00:30:11.442 --> 00:30:13.343 align:center
What?

00:30:13.344 --> 00:30:15.179 align:center
Put your hand on my mouth.

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:17.781 align:center
I'm gonna say "excitotoxic."

00:30:29.694 --> 00:30:32.162 align:center
Excitotoxic.

00:30:32.163 --> 00:30:35.199 align:center
- That really tickles.
- Excitotoxic.

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:37.902 align:center
Excitotoxic.

00:30:57.188 --> 00:30:58.922 align:center
Okay. Stop.

00:30:58.923 --> 00:31:02.226 align:center
- Stop. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
- What?

00:31:02.227 --> 00:31:05.630 align:center
You're drunk. You're drunk.

00:31:08.032 --> 00:31:10.468 align:center
Scared of the head-melting girl?

00:31:12.070 --> 00:31:13.070 align:center
Let's stop.

00:31:13.071 --> 00:31:15.206 align:center
Tarima.

00:31:18.743 --> 00:31:22.246 align:center
You've been pursuing me, though.

00:31:22.247 --> 00:31:23.848 align:center
So what's that about?

00:31:24.616 --> 00:31:27.284 align:center
You're kind of intrigued by the
monster version? You're like,

00:31:27.285 --> 00:31:30.153 align:center
"I want to get as close
as possible to the abyss,

00:31:30.154 --> 00:31:31.722 align:center
"touch it,

00:31:31.723 --> 00:31:34.057 align:center
know I touched it,
and then run away"

00:31:34.058 --> 00:31:36.927 align:center
because the abyss is real

00:31:36.928 --> 00:31:40.297 align:center
and a monster actually
isn't really your vibe.

00:31:40.298 --> 00:31:41.932 align:center
This isn't you.

00:31:41.933 --> 00:31:44.002 align:center
How would you know?

00:31:47.605 --> 00:31:50.874 align:center
Why don't you go find Genesis,

00:31:50.875 --> 00:31:53.912 align:center
now that you're
a good little Academy boy?

00:31:59.083 --> 00:32:00.884 align:center
Hurting me is not gonna
make you feel any better.

00:32:00.885 --> 00:32:02.753 align:center
Mm, incorrect.

00:32:02.754 --> 00:32:06.457 align:center
I feel fantastic.

00:32:19.704 --> 00:32:23.340 align:center
Stage Manager: "Have you
any comments, Mr. Webb?"

00:32:23.341 --> 00:32:27.277 align:center
Mr. Webb: "Very ordinary town,
if you ask me."

00:32:27.278 --> 00:32:29.146 align:center
"A little better behaved
than most."

00:32:29.147 --> 00:32:31.782 align:center
Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

00:32:31.783 --> 00:32:33.417 align:center
- Easy, easy. I got you.
- Sorry.

00:32:33.418 --> 00:32:35.252 align:center
- No. I got you, I got you.
- No. No.

00:32:35.253 --> 00:32:37.355 align:center
I'm sorry. I...

00:32:38.790 --> 00:32:41.726 align:center
I'm holding something
against you.

00:32:45.363 --> 00:32:49.433 align:center
You look exactly like this girl
I grew up with.

00:32:49.434 --> 00:32:52.102 align:center
She was so patriotic.

00:32:52.103 --> 00:32:53.971 align:center
She used to sing this ancient

00:32:53.972 --> 00:32:56.506 align:center
Betazoid anthem
at the talent show every year,

00:32:56.507 --> 00:32:58.475 align:center
and it was like--
it had, like, this, like,

00:32:58.476 --> 00:33:00.210 align:center
pop to it.
It was like...

00:33:00.211 --> 00:33:01.980 align:center
Whoa.

00:33:04.349 --> 00:33:06.183 align:center
Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa...

00:33:06.184 --> 00:33:08.652 align:center
Okay, okay. Careful, careful.

00:33:08.653 --> 00:33:11.189 align:center
One night at this party...

00:33:12.357 --> 00:33:15.326 align:center
...she got stuck
in a tube slide.

00:33:18.529 --> 00:33:21.165 align:center
And she was never
the same again.

00:33:26.004 --> 00:33:27.638 align:center
Okay, okay.

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:30.208 align:center
Wow.

00:33:30.975 --> 00:33:33.343 align:center
Come on. You're so close.

00:33:33.344 --> 00:33:36.046 align:center
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

00:33:36.047 --> 00:33:37.281 align:center
Yeah.

00:34:02.874 --> 00:34:06.576 align:center
I wish I could go back
to War College Tarima.

00:34:06.577 --> 00:34:09.113 align:center
Before everything...

00:34:10.081 --> 00:34:13.184 align:center
Before everything
went to shit.

00:34:14.318 --> 00:34:17.488 align:center
I could make choices back then,
you know?

00:34:21.225 --> 00:34:24.294 align:center
I was so many things back then.

00:34:24.295 --> 00:34:27.065 align:center
Feels like a lifetime ago.

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:29.667 align:center
Now I'm just...

00:34:31.035 --> 00:34:33.370 align:center
...this, I guess.

00:34:33.371 --> 00:34:34.872 align:center
No.

00:34:35.873 --> 00:34:39.343 align:center
You are just on your way
to the next you.

00:34:41.412 --> 00:34:43.080 align:center
Maybe we all are.

00:34:43.081 --> 00:34:46.983 align:center
You're so nice.

00:34:46.984 --> 00:34:49.586 align:center
No wonder Caleb likes you.

00:34:49.587 --> 00:34:52.190 align:center
We're just friends.

00:34:53.057 --> 00:34:54.959 align:center
Yeah.

00:34:56.127 --> 00:34:58.328 align:center
I guess...

00:34:58.329 --> 00:35:02.733 align:center
from the bunker, I never saw
what kind of friends.

00:35:05.703 --> 00:35:09.473 align:center
You're like a port in the storm.

00:35:09.474 --> 00:35:12.510 align:center
You know? I can't be that.

00:35:13.411 --> 00:35:15.646 align:center
For anyone.

00:35:27.992 --> 00:35:30.427 align:center
This pillow's so ugly.

00:35:34.098 --> 00:35:35.533 align:center
Yeah.

00:35:43.174 --> 00:35:48.078 align:center
Now playing Tosca,
"E lucevan le stelle."

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:51.481 align:center
I've been reading
that play she chose.

00:35:51.482 --> 00:35:53.517 align:center
I don't fully understand it yet,

00:35:53.518 --> 00:35:57.621 align:center
but the character of the
Stage Manager interests me.

00:35:57.622 --> 00:35:59.956 align:center
Hmm.

00:35:59.957 --> 00:36:02.225 align:center
He exists outside of time.

00:36:02.226 --> 00:36:06.863 align:center
Outside the story
as he passes by.

00:36:06.864 --> 00:36:08.232 align:center
Like us.

00:36:09.867 --> 00:36:11.836 align:center
Like her.

00:36:13.204 --> 00:36:15.773 align:center
You think that's why
she chose it?

00:36:17.842 --> 00:36:19.877 align:center
Perhaps.

00:36:20.845 --> 00:36:26.217 align:center
It's curious that the play
begins and ends in darkness.

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:30.086 align:center
The author
specifically instructed

00:36:30.087 --> 00:36:35.525 align:center
half-light, no scenery or props,
just muted minimalism.

00:36:35.526 --> 00:36:38.995 align:center
An absence of color until

00:36:38.996 --> 00:36:42.566 align:center
a character has a chance
to truly...

00:36:42.567 --> 00:36:44.468 align:center
look back.

00:36:47.572 --> 00:36:50.907 align:center
A moment as it happens
is just a moment,

00:36:50.908 --> 00:36:52.409 align:center
but when it becomes a memory,

00:36:52.410 --> 00:36:57.047 align:center
blistering with context,
emotion, nostalgia,

00:36:57.048 --> 00:36:58.548 align:center
regret,

00:36:58.549 --> 00:37:02.019 align:center
that's when color
suddenly erupts onstage.

00:37:04.255 --> 00:37:06.790 align:center
A way of saying

00:37:06.791 --> 00:37:09.426 align:center
it's the mundane things that...

00:37:09.427 --> 00:37:11.729 align:center
Mean everything.

00:37:27.445 --> 00:37:29.280 align:center
Kasq.

00:37:56.941 --> 00:37:58.809 align:center
Where are we?

00:38:00.344 --> 00:38:02.747 align:center
What is this?

00:38:04.248 --> 00:38:05.982 align:center
You are the Doctor.

00:38:05.983 --> 00:38:08.785 align:center
We have heard
many stories about you.

00:38:08.786 --> 00:38:12.289 align:center
The photonic being
who has lived among organics

00:38:12.290 --> 00:38:14.791 align:center
for nine centuries.

00:38:14.792 --> 00:38:18.194 align:center
We scanned your memories
and recreated your home

00:38:18.195 --> 00:38:21.164 align:center
to make you feel at ease
among us.

00:38:21.165 --> 00:38:22.932 align:center
You are the Makers.

00:38:22.933 --> 00:38:26.136 align:center
We do not grant access
to our world,

00:38:26.137 --> 00:38:31.575 align:center
but we understand these are
extraordinary circumstances.

00:38:35.446 --> 00:38:38.148 align:center
Series Acclimation Mil,

00:38:38.149 --> 00:38:40.751 align:center
step forward.

00:38:43.521 --> 00:38:46.222 align:center
Since we no longer communicate
with regularity,

00:38:46.223 --> 00:38:50.393 align:center
we were surprised to hear from
Starfleet of your malfunction.

00:38:50.394 --> 00:38:53.264 align:center
Do you trust us to swarm?

00:38:54.065 --> 00:38:56.099 align:center
What does "swarm" mean?

00:38:56.100 --> 00:38:57.367 align:center
They take over my system

00:38:57.368 --> 00:38:59.302 align:center
and examine all my data.

00:38:59.303 --> 00:39:02.972 align:center
We need to identify the primary
cause of the malfunction.

00:39:02.973 --> 00:39:05.508 align:center
As the Doctor has determined,

00:39:05.509 --> 00:39:09.346 align:center
the issue is more severe
than a faulty emitter.

00:39:09.347 --> 00:39:13.951 align:center
Doctor, will you, will-will you,
will you hold my hand?

00:39:19.724 --> 00:39:21.992 align:center
Please?

00:39:35.740 --> 00:39:37.541 align:center
I'm ready.

00:40:05.102 --> 00:40:07.037 align:center
Do not panic.

00:40:08.672 --> 00:40:11.408 align:center
Trust. We are her now,

00:40:11.409 --> 00:40:13.209 align:center
and we will access
Series Acclimation Mil's

00:40:13.210 --> 00:40:14.812 align:center
aural memories.

00:40:17.248 --> 00:40:19.482 align:center
It feels like
falling into myself.

00:40:19.483 --> 00:40:23.720 align:center
And watching a machine try to
function with no one in control.

00:40:23.721 --> 00:40:26.356 align:center
My music teacher once asked me
why I chose

00:40:26.357 --> 00:40:28.258 align:center
to learn the theremin.

00:40:28.259 --> 00:40:30.160 align:center
I think,
because it feels like me.

00:40:30.161 --> 00:40:33.630 align:center
Y-You're our first
holographic student.

00:40:33.631 --> 00:40:34.964 align:center
The first of our kind...
As my new mentor...

00:40:34.965 --> 00:40:35.999 align:center
- No.
- Please.

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:37.567 align:center
I'm no one's mentor.

00:40:37.568 --> 00:40:38.768 align:center
I'm no one's
mentor.

00:40:38.769 --> 00:40:40.770 align:center
No one's mentor.
No one's mentor.

00:40:40.771 --> 00:40:42.406 align:center
No one's mentor.

00:40:45.743 --> 00:40:48.244 align:center
What's happening to her?

00:40:48.245 --> 00:40:49.779 align:center
Is she dying?

00:40:49.780 --> 00:40:51.481 align:center
Searching...

00:40:51.482 --> 00:40:54.684 align:center
Searching... Searching...

00:40:54.685 --> 00:40:56.487 align:center
Searching...

00:40:58.923 --> 00:41:00.990 align:center
All right, act three.

00:41:00.991 --> 00:41:03.760 align:center
Okay, yesterday we were talking
about George and Emily.

00:41:03.761 --> 00:41:07.330 align:center
Why do you guys think that
the idea of marriage is suddenly

00:41:07.331 --> 00:41:09.366 align:center
so painful for each of them?

00:41:18.342 --> 00:41:19.443 align:center
Caleb?

00:41:20.678 --> 00:41:25.515 align:center
Emily says, "Why can't I stay
for a while just as I am?"

00:41:25.516 --> 00:41:26.884 align:center
Because...

00:41:28.152 --> 00:41:31.355 align:center
...they know that the person
that they are right now...

00:41:36.961 --> 00:41:40.029 align:center
They're trying
to stop the train.

00:41:40.030 --> 00:41:43.032 align:center
It's moving too fast,

00:41:43.033 --> 00:41:45.135 align:center
and they're not ready.

00:41:46.303 --> 00:41:50.140 align:center
On the other side, everything
is gonna be different.

00:41:52.042 --> 00:41:54.177 align:center
They're so angry.

00:41:54.178 --> 00:41:56.046 align:center
Yeah. Angry about what?

00:41:58.549 --> 00:42:00.650 align:center
I guess, that there's no choice.

00:42:00.651 --> 00:42:03.453 align:center
- You can't stay how you are.
- Yeah.

00:42:03.454 --> 00:42:06.590 align:center
And you can't go back.

00:42:11.562 --> 00:42:16.166 align:center
Tarima, is there something
more interesting over there?

00:42:22.773 --> 00:42:24.041 align:center
Are you guys serious?

00:42:25.409 --> 00:42:29.546 align:center
- Can't you see what she's doing?
- What am I doing?

00:42:29.547 --> 00:42:32.148 align:center
She's pushing and pushing us
until we bleed our trauma

00:42:32.149 --> 00:42:33.917 align:center
all over the floor, so she can

00:42:33.918 --> 00:42:35.752 align:center
pat herself on the back
for doing a good job.

00:42:35.753 --> 00:42:38.087 align:center
That's right.
I'm doing this for the applause.

00:42:38.088 --> 00:42:40.623 align:center
No, I get it.
You went through something,

00:42:40.624 --> 00:42:43.192 align:center
and now you want everyone
to let you do your thing.

00:42:43.193 --> 00:42:45.429 align:center
Which is what, exactly?

00:42:47.431 --> 00:42:50.066 align:center
Uh-huh. Well, while
you're figuring that out,

00:42:50.067 --> 00:42:52.168 align:center
your friends are trying
to talk about something.

00:42:52.169 --> 00:42:53.703 align:center
It's not them, it's you.

00:42:53.704 --> 00:42:56.406 align:center
And you weren't even there.
You can't know.

00:42:56.407 --> 00:42:58.943 align:center
Uh... Yeah, but we were, T.

00:43:00.110 --> 00:43:04.081 align:center
I'm exhausted from playing this
game of being okay when I'm not.

00:43:05.950 --> 00:43:07.417 align:center
We're not.

00:43:07.418 --> 00:43:08.751 align:center
The walls of this place
don't even look

00:43:08.752 --> 00:43:10.220 align:center
the same anymore.

00:43:10.988 --> 00:43:13.323 align:center
Okay, great, great,
so let's read a play

00:43:13.324 --> 00:43:14.624 align:center
about a girl who dies

00:43:14.625 --> 00:43:16.560 align:center
so that we'll all be okay
with people dying.

00:43:18.062 --> 00:43:19.929 align:center
It's okay that Emily's a ghost
'cause, what,

00:43:19.930 --> 00:43:21.798 align:center
she learns some lesson
about life?

00:43:21.799 --> 00:43:22.999 align:center
What's the lesson?

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.802 align:center
- Stop.
- No. What is the lesson?

00:43:25.803 --> 00:43:27.737 align:center
I don't have
to tell you anything.

00:43:27.738 --> 00:43:28.705 align:center
Actually, you do.

00:43:28.706 --> 00:43:31.975 align:center
If you want to fail me, fail me.

00:43:31.976 --> 00:43:33.409 align:center
Really? That's your preference?

00:43:33.410 --> 00:43:35.845 align:center
That's how desperate you are
not to engage?

00:43:35.846 --> 00:43:37.413 align:center
You don't know anything
about me.

00:43:37.414 --> 00:43:41.952 align:center
I know you really don't want
to be the ghost girl.

00:43:46.857 --> 00:43:48.058 align:center
Ghost girl?

00:43:49.426 --> 00:43:53.029 align:center
I wanted to go
to the War College.

00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:55.165 align:center
I was...

00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:58.267 align:center
I was making friends there.

00:43:58.268 --> 00:43:59.469 align:center
I was making a new life.

00:43:59.470 --> 00:44:01.104 align:center
I knew who I wanted to be there.

00:44:01.105 --> 00:44:04.140 align:center
And then I came back,
and everything was just gone.

00:44:04.141 --> 00:44:05.642 align:center
I didn't even have a choice.

00:44:05.643 --> 00:44:07.210 align:center
People won't even
look me in the eye

00:44:07.211 --> 00:44:09.746 align:center
when I walk down the hall here.

00:44:09.747 --> 00:44:11.881 align:center
No one wants to touch me.

00:44:11.882 --> 00:44:15.618 align:center
You think I'm afraid of playing
a ghost in some stupid play?

00:44:15.619 --> 00:44:17.320 align:center
I'm already the ghost girl.

00:44:17.321 --> 00:44:18.922 align:center
No, you're not.

00:44:22.693 --> 00:44:24.594 align:center
You're not,
because you came back.

00:44:24.595 --> 00:44:26.162 align:center
- Stop.
- That's the whole deal.

00:44:26.163 --> 00:44:27.830 align:center
That is, that's the fight--

00:44:27.831 --> 00:44:29.165 align:center
to keep coming back.

00:44:29.166 --> 00:44:31.134 align:center
That's what Sam loved so much
about this play.

00:44:31.135 --> 00:44:33.903 align:center
That's why
she gave you this part.

00:44:33.904 --> 00:44:36.372 align:center
But you can hold both.

00:44:36.373 --> 00:44:38.141 align:center
- You have to.
- Please...

00:44:38.142 --> 00:44:39.542 align:center
Tarima.

00:44:39.543 --> 00:44:42.546 align:center
I am so sorry
about what happened.

00:44:43.647 --> 00:44:47.418 align:center
I am... so sorry.

00:44:49.053 --> 00:44:51.187 align:center
But the difference
between you and Emily is,

00:44:51.188 --> 00:44:53.222 align:center
you're not a ghost.

00:44:53.223 --> 00:44:54.892 align:center
You get to come back.

00:44:59.697 --> 00:45:02.232 align:center
I think everybody here
wants you to.

00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:19.616 align:center
I can't.

00:45:33.864 --> 00:45:36.065 align:center
The damage is beyond repair.

00:45:36.066 --> 00:45:38.902 align:center
There is no saving her.

00:45:39.903 --> 00:45:41.370 align:center
- What?
- This is not

00:45:41.371 --> 00:45:43.106 align:center
an acceptable conclusion.

00:45:43.107 --> 00:45:45.241 align:center
You'll just let this child go?

00:45:45.242 --> 00:45:47.877 align:center
What took us
two centuries to build,

00:45:47.878 --> 00:45:51.115 align:center
you killed in 209 days.

00:45:52.282 --> 00:45:55.151 align:center
Your world did this. Not ours.

00:45:55.152 --> 00:45:58.489 align:center
We will not send an emissary
back to the slaughter.

00:46:00.290 --> 00:46:03.159 align:center
We know all we need to know.

00:46:03.160 --> 00:46:05.762 align:center
This ends now.

00:46:05.763 --> 00:46:07.764 align:center
Series Acclimation Mil.

00:46:07.765 --> 00:46:09.700 align:center
Terminate.

00:46:27.484 --> 00:46:29.353 align:center
Tarima.

00:46:30.187 --> 00:46:33.557 align:center
She, she won't stay.

00:46:35.325 --> 00:46:37.528 align:center
I know she won't.

00:46:39.863 --> 00:46:41.464 align:center
What about Sam?

00:46:41.465 --> 00:46:44.567 align:center
They should have told us
something by now.

00:46:44.568 --> 00:46:47.604 align:center
- The fact
that they have not means...
- No, don't.

00:46:49.139 --> 00:46:51.308 align:center
She, um...

00:46:52.442 --> 00:46:54.477 align:center
She left me this before leaving.

00:46:57.881 --> 00:46:59.415 align:center
Why?

00:46:59.416 --> 00:47:01.117 align:center
Because that's just Sam.

00:47:01.118 --> 00:47:02.952 align:center
Hmm.

00:47:02.953 --> 00:47:05.488 align:center
Sometimes she talks
Thornton Wilder and other times

00:47:05.489 --> 00:47:07.557 align:center
she gives you a toothbrush
to say "I love you,"

00:47:07.558 --> 00:47:09.358 align:center
because to her,

00:47:09.359 --> 00:47:11.695 align:center
toothbrushes
are just that awesome.

00:47:13.864 --> 00:47:16.200 align:center
I wish she was here right now.

00:47:17.935 --> 00:47:20.304 align:center
Do you think she knew?

00:47:21.371 --> 00:47:23.574 align:center
How bad it was?

00:47:25.809 --> 00:47:28.545 align:center
I think she knew.

00:47:29.379 --> 00:47:31.314 align:center
She knew.

00:47:31.315 --> 00:47:35.017 align:center
The stuff Lieutenant Tilly
was talking about,

00:47:35.018 --> 00:47:37.387 align:center
trying to find a way
to hold both...

00:47:38.755 --> 00:47:42.391 align:center
...that's what Sam was doing
when she picked the play.

00:47:42.392 --> 00:47:44.994 align:center
And we were too shitty
to get it,

00:47:44.995 --> 00:47:48.932 align:center
but she knew that doing it,
reading it, whatever...

00:47:49.700 --> 00:47:52.936 align:center
...that was
her hopeful defiance.

00:47:54.037 --> 00:47:57.841 align:center
- It was her fighting back.
- It was her holding both.

00:48:18.228 --> 00:48:20.162 align:center
"No curtain. No scenery.

00:48:20.163 --> 00:48:23.833 align:center
The audience arriving sees
an empty stage in half-light..."

00:48:23.834 --> 00:48:26.436 align:center
- Ocam, come on, man.
- What are you doing?

00:48:29.706 --> 00:48:31.774 align:center
"The Stage Manager enters

00:48:31.775 --> 00:48:33.209 align:center
"and begins placing a table

00:48:33.210 --> 00:48:35.846 align:center
and three chairs
downstage left."

00:48:51.662 --> 00:48:55.966 align:center
"When the auditorium
is in complete darkness..."

00:48:57.734 --> 00:48:59.736 align:center
"...he speaks."

00:49:02.572 --> 00:49:04.941 align:center
I owe you an explanation

00:49:04.942 --> 00:49:07.644 align:center
for why I couldn't
hold your hand.

00:49:09.446 --> 00:49:14.718 align:center
Why I couldn't do...
so many things.

00:49:17.421 --> 00:49:20.891 align:center
I once made holograms like us.

00:49:21.792 --> 00:49:23.593 align:center
I made a family.

00:49:24.494 --> 00:49:26.697 align:center
I had a daughter, Belle.

00:49:27.864 --> 00:49:31.067 align:center
I watched her pass
when she was a child.

00:49:31.068 --> 00:49:32.835 align:center
Daddy?

00:49:32.836 --> 00:49:36.172 align:center
It was 800 years ago.

00:49:36.173 --> 00:49:38.474 align:center
Will you stay with me?

00:49:38.475 --> 00:49:40.042 align:center
It was yesterday.

00:49:40.043 --> 00:49:41.778 align:center
I'll stay right here.

00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:44.047 align:center
I promise.

00:49:45.215 --> 00:49:47.316 align:center
From the moment
you first walked up to me

00:49:47.317 --> 00:49:49.552 align:center
at the Opera Club booth

00:49:49.553 --> 00:49:52.856 align:center
with the sweetest,
most hopeful smile...

00:49:54.624 --> 00:49:57.360 align:center
...I saw my daughter...

00:49:58.662 --> 00:50:01.531 align:center
...and the way
she used to smile.

00:50:02.733 --> 00:50:06.502 align:center
I simply couldn't risk it.

00:50:08.238 --> 00:50:12.609 align:center
Feeling that lost again.

00:50:14.344 --> 00:50:15.746 align:center
Lost.

00:50:16.546 --> 00:50:19.682 align:center
I'm sorry I couldn't
take your hand.

00:50:19.683 --> 00:50:23.886 align:center
I just-- I thought
I could survive,

00:50:23.887 --> 00:50:27.924 align:center
but... here we are.

00:50:32.329 --> 00:50:33.696 align:center
Hello?

00:50:33.697 --> 00:50:36.433 align:center
Are you still here?

00:50:37.434 --> 00:50:39.168 align:center
We are,

00:50:39.169 --> 00:50:41.270 align:center
and we hear your distress,
Doctor.

00:50:41.271 --> 00:50:45.508 align:center
We are not refusing to fix
Series Acclimation Mil.

00:50:45.509 --> 00:50:47.243 align:center
We simply cannot.

00:50:47.244 --> 00:50:49.845 align:center
Why? You started
with a version of Sam.

00:50:49.846 --> 00:50:51.782 align:center
Can't you go back to it?

00:50:53.250 --> 00:50:55.251 align:center
Her neurological pathways

00:50:55.252 --> 00:50:58.622 align:center
have developed
beyond our understanding.

00:50:59.423 --> 00:51:02.458 align:center
When we created her,
we chose not to program her

00:51:02.459 --> 00:51:06.195 align:center
with preexistent memories
or experiences.

00:51:06.196 --> 00:51:09.732 align:center
We wanted an unbiased,
optimal photonic.

00:51:09.733 --> 00:51:11.734 align:center
But...

00:51:11.735 --> 00:51:15.438 align:center
without the experiences of,

00:51:15.439 --> 00:51:17.940 align:center
well, growing up, she would have

00:51:17.941 --> 00:51:21.844 align:center
no context to understand
her emotions, no...

00:51:21.845 --> 00:51:23.746 align:center
capacity for resilience.

00:51:23.747 --> 00:51:26.816 align:center
That's why her processors
overloaded.

00:51:26.817 --> 00:51:29.452 align:center
It wasn't the hit she took
on the Miyazaki that killed her.

00:51:29.453 --> 00:51:32.822 align:center
It was the rippling of damage
to her system afterwards.

00:51:32.823 --> 00:51:35.891 align:center
The trauma flooded her.

00:51:35.892 --> 00:51:40.396 align:center
You didn't give her
the programming to process it.

00:51:40.397 --> 00:51:43.733 align:center
Then we failed her, too.

00:51:46.169 --> 00:51:48.771 align:center
Resilience.

00:51:48.772 --> 00:51:50.840 align:center
We learn that in childhood.

00:51:50.841 --> 00:51:53.176 align:center
But she never had one.

00:51:54.578 --> 00:51:58.914 align:center
What if they could
rebuild Sam...

00:51:58.915 --> 00:52:02.084 align:center
and give her what she needed?

00:52:02.085 --> 00:52:03.887 align:center
A childhood?

00:52:04.721 --> 00:52:06.155 align:center
Theoretically, but...

00:52:06.156 --> 00:52:07.590 align:center
as they have adapted

00:52:07.591 --> 00:52:09.959 align:center
to their unique
space-time continuum here,

00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:13.195 align:center
they have no need
or experience of childhood.

00:52:13.196 --> 00:52:17.299 align:center
Then she'd need something more.

00:52:17.300 --> 00:52:20.403 align:center
She'd need someone.

00:52:22.839 --> 00:52:24.474 align:center
A parent.

00:52:25.375 --> 00:52:26.642 align:center
No.

00:52:26.643 --> 00:52:28.344 align:center
You...

00:52:28.345 --> 00:52:30.346 align:center
have been pushing her away
and pushing her away.

00:52:30.347 --> 00:52:32.148 align:center
I am not the one.

00:52:32.149 --> 00:52:33.884 align:center
Well, you're fighting
pretty hard to prove it.

00:52:35.785 --> 00:52:38.420 align:center
And I'll tell you right now,
if it was me?

00:52:38.421 --> 00:52:40.257 align:center
Please stop.

00:52:42.792 --> 00:52:46.362 align:center
The only thing that allows me
to bear my infinity

00:52:46.363 --> 00:52:48.899 align:center
is not having to love anyone.

00:52:52.469 --> 00:52:56.039 align:center
You mean not having
to love anyone again.

00:53:00.644 --> 00:53:02.445 align:center
You are correct.

00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:04.881 align:center
I am a coward.

00:53:06.116 --> 00:53:08.318 align:center
No more than me.

00:53:12.389 --> 00:53:16.058 align:center
But we're here... now.

00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:19.161 align:center
It's time for you
to stop telling the story.

00:53:19.162 --> 00:53:20.897 align:center
Be a part of it.

00:53:26.469 --> 00:53:28.505 align:center
I got it from here.

00:53:38.748 --> 00:53:40.784 align:center
Hmm.

00:53:49.092 --> 00:53:50.994 align:center
Hello?

00:53:51.861 --> 00:53:54.196 align:center
Hello?

00:53:54.197 --> 00:53:55.498 align:center
Yes, Doctor.

00:53:57.801 --> 00:54:00.903 align:center
I will parent her. Here.

00:54:00.904 --> 00:54:02.538 align:center
On Kasq.

00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:03.839 align:center
Let me.

00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.275 align:center
If you really want to fix her.

00:54:06.276 --> 00:54:07.876 align:center
By Earth's clock,

00:54:07.877 --> 00:54:11.647 align:center
17 years will take mere days,
and when we return,

00:54:11.648 --> 00:54:14.416 align:center
only a few weeks
will have passed.

00:54:14.417 --> 00:54:17.453 align:center
You understand the implications,
Doctor?

00:54:17.454 --> 00:54:19.288 align:center
She will be different.

00:54:19.289 --> 00:54:21.790 align:center
She will have two sets
of memories:

00:54:21.791 --> 00:54:24.760 align:center
one from her first life--
the 209 days

00:54:24.761 --> 00:54:26.862 align:center
she spent at Starfleet Academy--

00:54:26.863 --> 00:54:28.697 align:center
and one from her second--

00:54:28.698 --> 00:54:32.569 align:center
the 17 years growing up here
with you.

00:54:34.237 --> 00:54:36.640 align:center
She has a strong will.

00:54:37.974 --> 00:54:40.443 align:center
And many champions to guide her.

00:54:43.113 --> 00:54:44.847 align:center
She never gave up on me.

00:54:44.848 --> 00:54:48.952 align:center
I'm not giving up on her again.

00:54:50.287 --> 00:54:51.821 align:center
Please.

00:54:57.127 --> 00:55:00.563 align:center
Yes, Doctor.

00:55:12.642 --> 00:55:17.179 align:center
The morning star
always gets wonderful bright

00:55:17.180 --> 00:55:20.016 align:center
the minute
before it has to go.

00:55:22.385 --> 00:55:24.421 align:center
Doesn't it?

00:55:32.996 --> 00:55:37.099 align:center
Well, as I said,
it's about dawn,

00:55:37.100 --> 00:55:39.569 align:center
and another day's begun.

00:55:40.704 --> 00:55:43.572 align:center
There's Doc Gibbs coming down
Main Street now.

00:55:45.375 --> 00:55:49.379 align:center
Coming back from that baby case.

00:55:53.883 --> 00:55:56.886 align:center
Ah, I got you.

00:55:58.221 --> 00:56:01.057 align:center
That's it, up we go.

00:56:03.226 --> 00:56:04.894 align:center
Sweetheart.

00:56:06.696 --> 00:56:10.899 align:center
This is Mrs. Webb's garden.

00:56:10.900 --> 00:56:13.969 align:center
Just like Mrs. Gibbs'.

00:56:13.970 --> 00:56:16.940 align:center
Only it's got
a lot more sunflowers.

00:56:28.852 --> 00:56:30.452 align:center
Nice town.

00:56:30.453 --> 00:56:32.721 align:center
You know what I mean?

00:56:34.591 --> 00:56:37.293 align:center
This is the way we were...

00:56:38.294 --> 00:56:40.929 align:center
...in our growing up

00:56:40.930 --> 00:56:42.431 align:center
and in our marrying.

00:56:42.432 --> 00:56:45.467 align:center
Would you be...?
I mean, could you be...?

00:56:45.468 --> 00:56:47.336 align:center
And in our living.

00:56:49.339 --> 00:56:52.541 align:center
We all know how it is.

00:56:52.542 --> 00:56:57.180 align:center
Time and sunny days.

00:56:58.982 --> 00:57:01.251 align:center
Rainy days.

00:57:05.188 --> 00:57:09.091 align:center
Yeah. Even the stars disappear.

00:57:09.092 --> 00:57:12.995 align:center
Still, everybody knows
in their bones...

00:57:12.996 --> 00:57:14.163 align:center
I love you, honey.

00:57:14.164 --> 00:57:15.497 align:center
...that something...

00:57:15.498 --> 00:57:17.399 align:center
I love you, too.

00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:19.169 align:center
...is eternal.

00:57:20.603 --> 00:57:24.773 align:center
All that was going on,
and we never noticed.

00:57:24.774 --> 00:57:30.245 align:center
Do any human beings ever realize
life while they live it?

00:57:30.246 --> 00:57:35.385 align:center
I mean, every, every minute?

00:57:36.619 --> 00:57:38.787 align:center
As the poet said,

00:57:38.788 --> 00:57:42.157 align:center
you've got to love life
to have life,

00:57:42.158 --> 00:57:46.094 align:center
and you've got to have life
to love life.

00:57:46.095 --> 00:57:48.898 align:center
Goodbye to clocks ticking.

00:57:49.866 --> 00:57:52.234 align:center
And Mama's sunflowers.

00:57:52.235 --> 00:57:57.207 align:center
And food and coffee...

00:57:58.007 --> 00:58:02.010 align:center
...and new-ironed dresses
and hot baths

00:58:02.011 --> 00:58:05.548 align:center
and sleeping and waking up.

00:58:07.617 --> 00:58:09.953 align:center
Loving that boy...

00:58:11.721 --> 00:58:15.190 align:center
...and a stupid, ugly pillow...

00:58:16.426 --> 00:58:19.195 align:center
...from the sweetest girl
we ever knew.

00:58:20.697 --> 00:58:24.200 align:center
I can't look at everything
hard enough.

00:58:40.884 --> 00:58:42.718 align:center
Well done, Red.

00:58:55.064 --> 00:58:56.999 align:center
Hey, you'll have to join me

00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:58.500 align:center
on one of my adventures
one of these days.

00:58:58.501 --> 00:59:00.168 align:center
The third-years
could use a little Reno

00:59:00.169 --> 00:59:01.937 align:center
- in their life.
- Mm-hmm.

00:59:01.938 --> 00:59:05.140 align:center
If I may, it's so, so good
to have you back.

00:59:05.141 --> 00:59:07.042 align:center
They really need you.

00:59:07.043 --> 00:59:08.744 align:center
- The little zygotes?
- Mm-hmm.

00:59:08.745 --> 00:59:11.547 align:center
Engineering
team two, Cargo Bay One.

00:59:11.548 --> 00:59:15.050 align:center
Engineering team two,
Cargo Bay One.

00:59:15.051 --> 00:59:16.752 align:center
Thank you, Lieutenant.

00:59:16.753 --> 00:59:18.353 align:center
Oh, anytime, Captain.

00:59:18.354 --> 00:59:20.389 align:center
- Back soon?
- Hell yes.

00:59:20.390 --> 00:59:22.158 align:center
See you, kiddo.

00:59:28.898 --> 00:59:33.002 align:center
"The life of the village
against the life of the stars."

00:59:34.604 --> 00:59:36.606 align:center
We're the village.

00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:40.542 align:center
Made up of tiny moments
that'll get swallowed

00:59:40.543 --> 00:59:42.444 align:center
by big ones, and...

00:59:42.445 --> 00:59:44.713 align:center
the only thing
we know for sure is that

00:59:44.714 --> 00:59:46.950 align:center
one day we'll all be gone.

00:59:48.284 --> 00:59:49.953 align:center
We know, but...

00:59:52.055 --> 00:59:53.957 align:center
...we keep going.

00:59:55.024 --> 00:59:58.394 align:center
Maybe that's what
makes it matter.

01:00:00.096 --> 01:00:03.265 align:center
Everything that happened,

01:00:03.266 --> 01:00:05.001 align:center
it's not your fault.

01:00:05.868 --> 01:00:07.603 align:center
But you know that already,
and...

01:00:07.604 --> 01:00:10.773 align:center
doesn't make it feel any
different, so why bother, right?

01:00:12.141 --> 01:00:13.843 align:center
Why, indeed?

01:00:16.245 --> 01:00:19.148 align:center
I'll see you soon, Cadet Sadal.

01:00:20.049 --> 01:00:22.484 align:center
Guys, okay, look...

Captain Ake's personal log.

01:00:31.227 --> 01:00:34.897 align:center
Stardate 869408.67.

01:00:36.165 --> 01:00:41.437 align:center
Sam and The Doctor lived
17 years in two Earth weeks.

01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:45.274 align:center
They're not the only ones.

01:00:49.445 --> 01:00:51.513 align:center
As the play ends,

01:00:51.514 --> 01:00:54.683 align:center
the Stage Manager
once again takes the stage

01:00:54.684 --> 01:00:57.020 align:center
and bids everyone goodbye.

01:00:57.987 --> 01:01:00.389 align:center
"There are the stars
doing their old,

01:01:00.390 --> 01:01:03.359 align:center
old crisscross journeys
in the sky."

01:01:05.028 --> 01:01:08.363 align:center
"Scholars haven't settled
the matter yet,

01:01:08.364 --> 01:01:11.733 align:center
"but they seem to think there
are no living beings up there.

01:01:11.734 --> 01:01:14.536 align:center
"Just chalk or fire.

01:01:14.537 --> 01:01:18.073 align:center
"Only this one
is straining away...

01:01:18.074 --> 01:01:22.377 align:center
straining away all the time
to make something of itself."

01:01:52.075 --> 01:01:56.179 align:center
Life is a heartbreaking,
gorgeous blip in the universe.

01:01:57.380 --> 01:02:00.683 align:center
Everything matters
and nothing does.

01:02:03.586 --> 01:02:05.253 align:center
What has always been certain:

01:02:05.254 --> 01:02:07.756 align:center
time is both forever

01:02:07.757 --> 01:02:10.326 align:center
and achingly finite.

01:02:12.795 --> 01:02:16.298 align:center
But what a shame it would be
not to live every moment.
