Star Trek: Section 31 (2025) Movie Script

(whooshing)
(metal clanks)
(metal clanks)
(metal clanks)
(metal continues
clanking in distance)
(wind whistling softly)
She's back! She's home!
Philippa came home!
(windmill creaking)
(fire crackling)
YOUNG GEORGIOU: Two years,
and everything looks
exactly as I remember.
(laughs)
I never thought I would
see this place again.
(slurps softly)
There were 18 of us this time.
Culled from every
corner of the Empire
and brought to Terra
for the contest.
We were told that only
one of us would survive
the years to come.
One child...
the purest expression
of the Terran identity.
They pitted us
against each other.
And month by month,
our numbers dwindled.
FATHER: Did... did you win?
Is it over?
Two of us still live.
San and me.
Me and San.
BOTH (quietly): We are two...
but one.
BOTH: Forever.
The word "friend" was
forbidden during the contest,
but we whispered it to each
other when no one could hear.
San and I combined our skills
against the proctor and
the other contestants.
But only one of you
could be emperor.
One task remains.
The first to complete
it rules the Empire,
and the other spends
the rest of their life
in servitude to the new emperor.
What do you have to do?
(Argo coughing)
(coughing)
(retching)
I'm sorry.
What did you do?!
"No ties to the old
life are permitted.
(coughing and retching continue)
"An emperor can only
be loyal to duty.
"Thus does the
Empire remain strong.
Thus does it grow."
- Mom.
- Philippa.
(sobbing)
(breathes deeply)
(distant rumbling)
You succeeded where your
competitor could not.
Bring him here.
San did not have the strength
to pass the final test.
Even now, his village burns as
a testament to his cowardice.
(whispers): I love you.
TERRAN PROCTOR: You
have won the contest.
Claim your victory.
San, step forward.
You live now only to
serve at her heel.
Kneel before the one
who owns your life.
(quietly): We are two...
But one.
Not anymore.
(shuddering breaths)
- (skin sizzling)
- (gasps)
(pained screaming)
TERRAN PROCTOR: All
hail Philippa Georgiou!
All hail the emperor!
CROWD (chanting):
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Hail!
(electrical humming)
CONTROL: This is Control
with a priority message
for Alpha Team Leader.
Your subject is Emperor
Philippa Georgiou,
former ruler of
the Terran Empire.
It's in a parallel universe
with the most
criminal population
in recorded history.
Even there, Georgiou had the
market cornered on atrocities.
(rumbling)
In 2257, she was
brought to our universe
and joined Section 31,
but after a few years,
we lost contact.
Recently, Georgiou was
spotted using an alias
in the border territory
outside Federation space,
where we're tracking a new
threat on the black market.
This is where your
team comes in.
Federation treaty forbids us
from crossing over that border,
which means Starfleet
cannot get its hands dirty.
You and your 31 team will go
in, make contact with Georgiou
to help identify and
neutralize the threat.
But make no mistake...
this dog bites, so
watch your backs.
You have 24 hours to
complete the mission.
Get to work.
(ships whooshing, rumbling)
(upbeat music playing)
(singer vocalizing)
(laughing)
(lively chatter)
(vocalizing continues)
(laughs)
VIRGIL: Madame du Franc?
Small incident in the
honeymoon suite. (chuckles)
I'm afraid the bride molted
just as things were coming
to a climax. (laughs)
- GEORGIOU: Virgil, get to the point.
- (clears throat)
I sent a biohazard team
and your condolences.
Also, there's a customer
hoping for a word with you.
He seems entirely sober
but quite intoxicating.
Madame Veronique du
Franc will see you.
(vocalizing continues)
Alok Sahar, Madame
Veronique du Franc.
Madame du Franc normally
does business by appointment.
I'd like to make an appointment.
Oh, the gentleman would
like to make an appointment.
- ALOK: Now.
- VIRGIL: Now, madame.
- (in French): Impossible.
- (in English): Impossible.
(speaks French)
GEORGIOU: Mmm.
Mmm.
Au revoir, Virgil.
Mm-hmm.
(sighs)
ALOK: That is illegal.
And that makes money.
GEORGIOU: This is a
reputable establishment.
ALOK: Not what I heard.
- Why don't we discuss it in your office?
- Hmm.
Why would I take you to
my office, Alok Sahar?
Because it's a
hands-on experience.
(applause)
(vocalizing over lively music)
Everywhere I go
Everybody knows...
- (crackling)
- (music continues in distance)
ALOK: Dulcet thistle.
Dulcet thistle's extinct.
I've got a dozen
keys of this stuff.
Have you partaken?
This would be one of
my few first times.
Packs a punch.
- A happy punch.
- Mmm.
Bottoms up.
- To money.
- To you.
GEORGIOU: Mmm.
(chuckling sigh)
Now, let's cut the shit.
What is Section 31 doing
in my space station?
Hmm? You think I don't know
an agent when I see one?
You're heading up a
team of six operatives,
and they're all over the bar.
(audio rewinding)
There's the Chameloid,
a green-blooded shape-shifter,
trying to muster sexy
time with a Deltan,
a walking honey trap
31's obviously using
as a distraction.
Except Chameloids are the
only species in the galaxy
immune to Deltan
sexy time charm.
Then there's the guy with
all the high-end mech,
standing in the back,
looking like he has thoughts.
Mech life, it ain't just
about the brute force.
- (screaming)
- (laughs)
GEORGIOU: I'm gonna say heavy
on artillery, low on IQ.
I'm so sorry.
And we can't forget the Vulcan,
laughing way too hard
at the stage banter.
(laughing loudly)
And since Vulcans never laugh,
he's either an idiot, too,
or lost his mind during
pon farr and went insane.
(snorts, laughs)
Oh, come on. That was funny.
GEORGIOU: And the very serious
human you stuck him with...
Reel it in anytime.
She's got a stick so
far up her backside,
it's coming out her mouth.
Just reel it in.
(slurps)
- (sighs)
- ALOK: That would be
- Lieutenant Garrett.
- Mmm.
Starfleet.
Where fun goes to die.
It took you long
enough to find me.
We knew that having
you here on the Baraam
would be valuable to us one day.
Well, I'm not feeling
motivated to be valuable
to anyone but myself.
(upbeat music playing)
Say yes tonight
Say yes to everything...
So, is this where we
start negotiating?
Hmm, that depends.
How long have you
known about me?
Ever since you took over
from the previous owner,
who we still haven't found.
Well, all of.
- That wasn't me.
- Emperor Georgiou,
I am authorized to arrest you
- and wipe your mind clean.
- (laughs)
But then again,
there's a part of me
that wants you to live
with your memories.
The genocidal ones.
Being authorized to arrest me
isn't the same as being
able to arrest me.
You really want Section
31... want me...
dogging you until
the end of time?
(singsongy): Boring.
The past always
catches up with you.
And as much as both of us
might hate it, I'm
doing you a favor.
(sighs)
One last mission.
Listen.
Do you believe in fate?
Because I do.
You can't hide from it.
You're nothing here, Georgiou.
I'm giving you a
chance to get back in.
In on the action on
a galactic scale.
Stop running from it.
Be who you are.
Or stay and tend
bar for eternity.
Let's get on with it.
ALOK: Philippa
Georgiou, meet my team.
This is Melle.
(chuckles)
Zeph.
You look like a
Swiss Army knife.
Uh, hold on. (laughs)
I don't know what that
means, but I'm not gonna
just stand here
and get insulted.
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about your suit.
(clears throat)
ZEPH: Um, you're new,
so I'm gonna just
explain this one time
that when you are
talking about the suit,
you're talking about Zeph.
- Oh.
- QUASI: Zeph suffers from
what we call mecha dysmorphia.
ZEPH: And I may not
know what that is,
but I'm also not gonna take that
from you, Quas, and
personally I'm offended.
- I think you should know...
- Well, it's accurate.
It's not a diagnosis.
You're not a doctor.
ALOK: Zeph. Zeph, Zeph!
- He knows. He knows. He knows.
- Okay, fine.
He knows.
- He gets it. He gets it.
- Yes.
Okay, what about that Vulcan?
Nobody told her?
This? The thing
you're talking to?
The Vulcan's just a machine.
I'm inside.
Driving.
I control the body
from a backup vehicle.
Yeah, something I use
to get into tight spots.
Hi there.
I'm Fuzz.
(laughs)
Fuzz is a Nanokin.
Real fun-loving guy.
Hello.
- (chuckles)
- Except for when he's not.
Then he's deranged with an
anger management problem.
Well, you could've stopped
at the first thing, Quasi.
A bootleg Vulcan conveyance?
You must see cool stuff
on the black market.
QUASI: Nanokins are
pretty scavengery.
31 made first contact when
we discovered an infestation
on a derelict ship.
- Quasi.
- Oh, shit.
(voices overlapping): Say
"infestation" one more time, Quasi.
Say "scavenger," you
sack of amorphous soot!
I-I s... I heard it
as soon as I said it.
I will kick your ass
until you cannot form
a solid mass of...
Fuzz. Fuzz. Lock it down.
I am locked down.
I'm trapped inside a
giant robot Vulcan head.
No one is more locked
down than me right now!
Nanokins have a wonky
emotional spectrum.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, I will not
be condescended to, Melle,
particularly not by
you, because honest...
MELLE (whispering): I love
you. You are everything.
- Does my spectrum work for you?
- ZEPH (echoing): Fuzz.
- I mean, like, like, are you into it or...
- Fuzz!
Fuzz!
She's insulting
you, pal. (laughs)
I know Deltans are gonna
do their Deltan thing,
but have a little
self-respect, would you?
Can we continue?
And that's Lieutenant
Rachel Garrett.
She is detailed to Section
31 for this one mission only.
Who did you piss off to get
stuck in black ops, Lieutenant?
Starfleet is here to make sure
we color inside the lines.
GARRETT: Starfleet is here
to defend the Federation,
keep the peace and make
sure no one commits murder.
- (scoffs) And you?
- One moment.
ALOK: Quasi came on my radar
when he proved the
existence of glioclusters.
Glioclusters are theoretical.
Formerly theoretical.
Life is just branching
possibilities.
You know, they bloom and
blossom any way you can imagine.
For example, I could be
intimidated by you right now.
I mean, after all,
you've murdered
so many people...
(chuckles nervously)
and you seem to be staring
right into my soul.
(exhales)
I could respond to that
or I could observe my
feelings right now,
lock it away and do
what I need to do.
- Or...
- Quas. Pick one. Hmm?
- QUASI: Yes.
- MELLE: Sometimes Quasi sees
- so many options he gets brain-freeze.
- Thank you, Melle.
- Quasi, can we carry on, please?
- Mm-hmm.
Our target's name is Dada Noe.
Dubious moral compass.
Ran a pathology lab on the Watt
Colonies before he went rogue.
Since then, he's been
designing bioweapons on spec.
Noe's on his way to the Baraam
to sell his latest creation
to the Minosian High Council.
There are no formal hostilities
with the Minosian Sway,
but that could change
if they get their hands
on a superweapon.
GEORGIOU: Do we know what
this bio superweapon is?
GARRETT: No, but if Dada
Noe is selling it, it's bad.
So you're here to make sure
the sale never happens.
How?
Things went south
when you spotted us,
but the plan is still solid.
First, Alok was going to...
You can say it.
Connect.
- With you.
- (laughs)
- Welcome! Mmm.
- Yes.
(Georgiou squeals)
What a cute idea.
Once we had you
suitably distracted,
Quasi would do the
other thing Quasi does.
ALOK: Okay, Quasi.
- If you would do the honors.
- Absolutely.
Let's get to work.
Welcome, Dada Noe.
ALOK: This is where
Fuzz comes in.
(laughs)
(chuckles)
FUZZ: You wouldn't believe
the tiny spots I can get into.
For example, the inner
workings of body modifications.
Oh, once I fly inside
Dada's body mod,
well, then it's
time to get to work.
So many circuits.
So many things that
could go wrong.
Competency crusader here
will talk me through
the tech on the implant.
And if I think we're putting
Dada Noe's life in danger
by tinkering with that implant,
I will unleash the full
weight of Starfleet
on this whole operation.
Oy, we're talking about a bloke
who's selling superweapons
to any third-rate terrorist
with a Latinum card.
GARRETT: Listen
carefully, Junkyard.
Starfleet does not
do assassinations.
Ay, don't get your prime
directives in a bunch.
You are not going to
get your hands dirty
and mess up your chances
of becoming captain.
I'm a top-tier science officer.
- Butt pretzel.
- (coughs): Tight-ass.
- (Quasi clears throat)
- So disrespectful.
Soon as Garrett and
Fuzz sever that link...
he'll be under our control,
and I'll take him down
- with the help of Zeph.
- Mm.
(screams)
- That's what I call a hit.
- One.
Dada Noe and his pathogen
will be in custody
before the buyers can even
show up to the Baraam.
And we are in and out.
Mm. Meh.
OTHERS: Meh?
I have a simpler idea.
Desperate, I can tell
All that begging
Suits you well.
Blowing up my phone now
Going up, you bow down
Look at who needs who...
Welcome, Monsieur Dada Noe.
We're honored to have
you here at the Baraam.
I am Veronique du
Franc, the proprietor.
I told them to have
my suite ready.
Mais oui, monsieur.
May I escort you
to your quarters?
Come.
We have the most exquisite...
I can't believe you're
trusting this sociopath.
ALOK (over comm):
Well, Lieutenant,
you got to do what
you got to do,
and I'm kind of familiar
with sociopaths.
I said don't bring me.
I trust your trip was
without incident, monsieur.
Well, your people
made everything easy.
Our pleasure. Here we are.
(door pulsing, beeping)
(groans)
So tacky.
But I guess that's
what you're known for.
(whirring)
What's this?
It's called a phase pod.
A client of mine gave
it to me as a gift,
and I got one for myself, too.
(beeping, whirring)
What are you doing?
Everything in the
universe vibrates
- on a certain wavelength.
- (grunts)
Damn it.
Give me back my case.
No.
That's coming out of
your security deposit.
The phase pod changes
the wavelength
of whatever they touch.
I am out of phase with you, and
you're out of phase with me.
I am, however, in
phase with your case.
(snorts)
And I will be taking it with me.
(laughs) You have no
idea what you've started.
(yells)
Whoopsie.
(screams)
- (grunts)
- (Zeph laughs)
Impressive.
Are you sure you're human?
Most days.
Thank you.
(Zeph whistling)
(sighs)
(deep rumbling)
Give me the case.
(both grunting)
(Georgiou panting)
(whirring)
(grunting continues)
Who are you?
(aliens moaning)
(chittering)
He went that way. That way,
that way, that way, that way!
(aliens yowling)
(chuckling)
(Zeph yells)
(squealing)
Oh, aliens.
- Naked aliens.
- ALOK: Go, Zeph, go.
He's headed to the lounge.
Man, they're moving fast.
(over comm): Melle,
he's coming to you.
(crowd screaming)
Yikes.
(frantic chatter)
(vocalizes)
(grunting)
(groans) No, it's okay.
- I'm all right.
- Melle, you got him?
Got him.
(whoops, chuckles) Ooh-la-la!
Ay, amor.
(grunts fiercely)
(crowd gasping)
(groaning, panting)
(groaning)
(screams)
(crowd murmuring)
(microphone feedback squeals)
(clicking, whirring)
(crowd cheering)
(cheers)
(groaning)
(beeping)
(grunts)
That's not possible.
I had that destroyed.
No. No!
(grunts)
It's not possible.
ALOK: You knew that weapon.
What is it?
What is it?
Fine. The hard way.
(Georgiou grunts)
(metal clanking steadily)
(coughs)
(metal clanking faster)
(screaming)
(breathing deeply)
MAN: The Eternal
Supplicant begs approach.
You have my permission.
All hail Her Most
Imperial Majesty,
Mother of the Fatherland,
- Overlord of Vulc...
- What is it?
It is finished, Your Majesty.
Where are my engineers?
(trembling): They... they took
their own lives upon completion.
Who is the tear for, San?
Speak.
It is for you, Majesty.
It is all...
for you.
(San's breath trembling)
I asked you a question, San.
(San sobs)
Why do you cry for me?
(sobbing softly)
Look at me.
Do you remember who we were?
Before all this.
The curious boy.
The innocent girl.
I only remember my
failure, Majesty.
Don't lie to me.
We were the only ones
who could understand
the cost to stay alive.
We made a team.
We needed each other, didn't we?
What did we say to carry
each other through,
to survive together?
We are two...
(San's breath trembling)
SAN: But one.
BOTH: We are two but one.
If I said then,
"Let's run away,
"let's flee this competition
and everything that
binds us to Terra,"
what would you have said?
Hmm?
The timing of your question
is more poetic than you know.
I would have said yes.
Then.
But now?
You could have made something
beautiful with your reign.
Instead, you chose
to build this.
That means that
innocent girl I knew,
she has been...
(choking): murdered.
(retching loudly)
What is this?
- You...
- (ragged breathing)
You took the same poison?
No! I forbid you to die!
No one wants to live
in your world, Emperor.
You are a monster!
(gasps)
(grunts)
GEORGIOU: And what
delightful place is this?
ALOK: A safe house.
But maybe not so safe for you.
You are Section 31.
Why aren't you torturing
answers out of me?
You're a tyrant.
A real one.
Torture wouldn't work.
How do you know so much
about people like me?
Hmm?
You learned tyranny somewhere,
and you learned hard.
If you have to hide
it, that's a weakness.
And I can't have
that in a partner.
- We're not partners.
- No?
I've been very helpful.
You had a plan
that couldn't work.
I gave you a better one.
You gave me a taste
of the action,
knowing I'd want more.
You need me.
You chose me.
Why?
Whatever you believed
your mission was,
it's worse than you thought.
Billions of lives are at
stake, and time is short.
Tell me you, and I
will tell you me.
The only way this
works is if I know
exactly who I'm dealing with.
I'm not from this time, either.
I was born on
Earth, 20th century.
You are 350 years old?
More or less.
I slept most of that time.
After my exile.
The Eugenics Wars.
Augments...
took my planet.
My home.
There was maybe ten
of us who fought.
Everyone I knew either
took a bullet or a blade.
But I gave some back.
She noticed me.
The Augment who
slaughtered my family.
They called her Giri the Marked.
She took me in.
Made me stronger than
any human should be.
She ripped me apart
and turned me into another
Augment for her army.
And I did terrible things.
All for a monster like you.
Because for tyrants,
there is only one choice:
murder.
You haven't killed me.
Yet.
I recognized the weapon because
I ordered it to be built.
Gather your people.
We're gonna need
every one of them.
GEORGIOU: In my universe,
there were always plotters.
Always a coup.
So I built a weapon
to end all threats.
I called it the Godsend.
It triggers a chain reaction,
like a virus passing
between planets.
Everything in its
path incinerates.
An entire quadrant
would be lost.
If my enemies
managed to kill me,
there would be
nothing left to rule.
ZEPH: Yeah, hi.
Quick question.
Sorry.
Yeah, no. Uh, just a qu...
it's just a quick one.
Is it Godsend or God's End?
Godsend or God's End?
I don't hear a difference
in what you're saying.
Really? Really?
Godsend. God's End.
- Yeah, I'm still not getting it.
- The Godsend is...
Wait, Godsend. I hear it now.
- It's Godsend. No apostrophe.
- Send.
The Godsend is here.
How? It's from another universe.
I don't know, but
that man had it.
The one that you
think is Dada Noe.
The one we know is Dada Noe.
No, he's not your
Dada Noe. He can't be.
He's from the Terran Empire,
and he brought the Godsend here.
That's the only way
he can know about it.
And since we have
him locked up tight,
- I'll interrogate him.
- GARRETT: No, no, no.
- We cannot trust a single word this woman says.
- Yeah.
She cost us Melle.
She's the only one who knows
what we're dealing with.
Yeah, well, so she
says, little bro.
- Little?
- (sighs)
Scale-shamer!
Microbes outlasted dinosaurs!
Calm your boots.
What I'm saying is...
I will piss in your suit
until you go all rusty like!
That she's the reason
this is all bollixed up.
She's the reason Melle's
dead, and she's the reason
we're in the ass
end of the galaxy.
ALOK: Listen up.
Georgiou and I are gonna
go back to the ship.
Dada Noe is our only
link to the Godsend,
so we're gonna have a
little chat with him.
What?
ALOK: Her name is
Philippa Georgiou,
Her Most Imperial Majesty.
Mother of the Fatherland.
Overlord of Vulcan.
Dominus of Qo'noS, Regina Andor,
Philippa Georgiou Augustus
Iaponius Centarius.
DADA NOE: Cool.
That come with fries?
(laughing): That
was good, right?
(grunts)
(groans) Okay.
ALOK: Every time you don't
answer her questions directly,
Her Majesty will punch
you in your face.
(sighs): Fine.
I'm Dada.
Dada Noe. Just Dada, then Noe.
That's it. No in-betweens.
And I, uh...
I used to run a pathology
lab in the Watt Colonies.
(grunts, groans)
What the shit, man?!
You said that she was gonna
be doing the face punching!
So now we both have lied.
You are not that Dada.
(sighs)
You're what these
people call his Mirror.
You came here from
the Terran Empire,
and you brought the Godsend.
What's the Godsend?
(Georgiou exhales sharply)
My own war council
tried to depose me.
Do you know how I convinced
the field marshal to talk?
Hmm?
(whispering indistinctly)
(grunts nervously)
I was an administrator
at an Imperial weapons
facility on Terra.
Uh, yeah.
The Godsend was
stored at my facility.
Most thought it was a legend,
but I knew it was real.
So you tried to sell it.
DADA NOE: Yeah, yeah.
I wanted to live here
quietly on its proceeds.
ALOK: How did you
get to our universe?
Hmm?
There was an ion storm.
Two of them, actually.
And when they converged,
which they do like clockwork,
they ripped something open on
the fringes of the Empire...
an anomaly, they called
it... but it was a passageway
to get to this place
from the Terran Empire.
(laughing)
Comes out through
your Crescent Nebula.
Few know about it. For now.
But it'll open
again in four hours.
That's when I was supposed
to be meeting my buyer.
Are you aware of what
that weapon does?
The Terran Empire's burned
through its resources.
There's famine.
Entire ecologies are collapsing.
They need to find
a new territory
to conquer and strip-mine.
When they realize that
their superweapon is gone,
they're gonna find
that passageway...
you know they will...
and they'll come
and they'll burn everything
they touch and enslave the rest,
because that's what the
Empire does, Majesty.
(chuckles): They
learned well from you.
(Dada Noe laughing)
- (screams)
- ALOK: Who else wants it?
DADA NOE: I-I don't know, man.
I got an offer.
The money was real.
Someone stole the
Godsend from us.
- Who was he?
- DADA NOE: No idea.
Whoever broke into my room,
whoever stole that weapon,
they know what they know
because they learned it
from one of you.
(Dada Noe groans)
(explosion)
(yelling, groaning)
ALOK (echoing):
Emergency transporter.
(explosions)
(Dada Noe screaming, whimpering)
Well, this is great.
Oh, even better.
ZEPH: Is that... is that
the ship? Is the ship gone?
I liked that ship.
What happened?
Sabotage.
What?
GEORGIOU: Whoever stole
the Godsend had a partner.
It was someone here.
Which means one of us is a mole.
(gasps)
- Could be you.
- Could be you.
GEORGIOU: If it were me,
I would have murdered
all of you already.
Look, boss, if there's a
mole, you know it's not me.
ZEPH: (laughs) I mean, that
sounds pretty moley to me.
- I don't know.
- (Quasi stammers)
QUASI: We've been on
like ten ops together.
Yeah, and I still don't even
know what you look like, do I?
No one knows what a
Chameloid looks like.
- You might change into anything you want.
- What about Fuzz, huh?
- He exists on a whole other scale than anybody else.
- Mm, deflecting?
My wife is about to lay our
first litter of egg sacs.
- No, I have 190,000 hatchlings on the way...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- And I want them to live.
- Well, look,
you could find a
motive for any of us.
Or it could be a
combination of any of you.
You know, like-like
Zeph and-and Fuzz or...
You are spinning
out without Melle.
You cannot land on a choice.
Maybe you're putting that in my
head because you're the mole.
Huh? How about
Garrett? She's new.
She doesn't care about us.
I'm Starfleet.
Whoa. Anyone else feel that
heroic breeze right there
ruffling her cape? (laughs)
GARRETT: Okay, there's
an old ship out there,
an old garbage scow.
Yeah, I found it when
you were up there
interrogating metal head.
Must be years since
anyone flew it,
but I think we can work with it
to go after whoever
took the Godsend.
Mm. I dislike you less.
Aw.
If I wanted someone to
like me, I'd get a dog.
I like order.
I like prediction
and conclusion.
Then you're on the wrong
team because we've got mole,
stranded on a dead planet,
no communication
with the outside,
and less than four hours before
the Terrans get the Godsend
and use it anywhere
in the galaxy.
Speaking of which, Quas,
what about the antenna array?
Uh, well...
Well, it's a couple
decades out of date.
We get it up and running,
then we tell 31 what's coming.
We work together.
- Everyone stays in sight.
- QUASI: Yeah.
Just...
Let's go.
(electricity crackling)
QUASI: Well, there
goes that idea.
Our little mole has
been really busy.
Ripped up all the wiring.
Two teams. I'll lead
one into the woods.
Three to see if we
can salvage that scow.
You stay here with the others
and try and fix
the antenna array.
Why is she giving us orders now?
Because I'm letting her
and I'm pretty certain
she's not the mole.
You wouldn't bet on a
horse named Pretty Certain.
Quas, Fuzz, you get to the
scow right away with Georgiou.
Zeph and Garrett, you
stay here with me.
We'll take care of
the antenna array.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'm supposed to go
out into the woods
with two people who
want to kill me?
Just stay in sight of each
other and don't get dead.
Okay?
QUASI: Yep, thanks, Cap.
I mean, just fifty-fifty shot
one of them wants to kill me,
- and then 25%...
- Quas, just get your ass out there.
I love you, too, Cap.
- ALOK: All righty.
- QUASI: Aye, aye.
QUASI: The internal
circuitry on this old scow
is still in decent shape.
- (device beeping) - Everything
I'm seeing should work.
So this thing we're
chasing, the Godsend,
your engineers, did they
install a fail-safe?
Can we disable it remotely?
There is no fail-safe.
I wouldn't allow it.
How very on-brand for you.
Can I ask you one more question?
I'm just gonna ask
you one more question.
So you brought the
Godsend into the world
to vaporize
quadrillions of lives.
Never thought that was a
little, you know, much?
I ordered it destroyed.
And someone hid it. Your
own people betrayed you.
Well, your corporate culture
was straight-up shit.
And you didn't
answer my question.
The asymptote coil is gone.
Someone must have scavenged
it for the terbium.
Well, find another one,
this thing should fly.
- Maybe the cargo hull.
- Huh. Oh, no, no.
Everyone stays
together, all right?
Limits the possibilities
of you killing us.
Uh... (stammers)
Let's go to the cargo hold,
please. (clears throat)
Aren't you coming?
Yes. I couldn't be more excited.
(rapid beeping)
ZEPH: Yeah, I could help
you down there, of course,
but considering how,
you know, control
is central to your
entire identity
and the fact that I'm
just not good at it,
I'm just gonna stand here
and honor our relationship
- by doing absolutely nothing.
- ALOK: Helpful.
It's called radical
self-acceptance.
- Evolved of you.
- Well, thank you.
So, can you fix it?
I'm not even sure it's broken.
It's just missing a part.
Look, this-this torn
wiring looks dramatic,
but this equipment has
redundancy built in.
There's an easy work-around.
Except somebody ripped
out the theta junction.
Other than that, this
thing should work.
Okay, well, maybe
our mole has it.
- Garrett?
- Yeah.
Zeph.
Where is Zeph?
Zeph, come in.
Zeph, do you copy?
(liquid dripping)
Zeph.
(whirring)
Garrett, was that you?
Garrett, what the hell was that?
GARRETT (over comm): Someone
just activated the antenna array.
Damn it.
What's happening?
Garrett, sitrep.
FUZZ: This is
going to be good.
ALOK: Lieutenant,
do you copy? Over.
QUASI: Clear.
GEORGIOU: Clear.
FUZZ: Nothing here.
How could someone have used
this to send out a signal?
Impossible. It's missing a part.
And someone shot it to hell.
GARRETT: I heard
someone running.
Zeph must have put the
theta junction back in.
Then shot it after
he used the array.
(sighs, groans softly)
So he must have circled
back after he went AWOL.
(sighs) Zeph came down to
this planet to sabotage us.
And now that we're stranded,
he sent a message to
whoever he's working with.
And he'll lay low until
his ride gets here,
and then he's long gone.
GEORGIOU: Then we need
to find him first.
(explosive blasts)
(beeping)
ALOK (over comm):
Observer, do you copy?
GARRETT: Please, Raider
One, when do I not copy?
That's funny. Status?
(static crackling)
GARRETT: I'm picking up
a lot of interference,
but the tricorder shows
Zeph's biosignature
was just in this sector. Over.
Copy. Stay low
and tight, people.
The warlord you served,
Giri, what happened to her?
She died like she lived.
By that, you know what I mean.
She was lucky.
She wasn't infected
with a conscience.
- Infected?
- Yeah.
A monster can only be a monster.
A monster with
regrets is useless.
Mm. So that's why
you were hiding
in a bar at the
ass end of nowhere.
Maybe it's why you're
working with 31.
To wipe your slate clean.
ALOK: There's always a price
to pay for people like us.
You wouldn't be here
if you didn't agree.
Oh, so that's why you chose me.
You think I'm a monster who
feels enough to be controlled
but still do the
real dirty work.
No, I think you want the
Godsend back because you know
it's your one chance
to redeem yourself
for all the shit you've done.
I want the Godsend
back because it's mine.
(beeping rapidly)
(sighs)
Ah. Zeph's exoskeleton
is leaking.
(rapid beeping continues)
Yep, more.
GEORGIOU: This way.
(groans)
Blip, Clip,
Grip,
Polio, Influensina,
- Cowpox...
- What are you saying?
I'm reciting the names
of me hatchlings.
Since one of you is
going to murder me,
I'm never gonna meet them,
but at least I can honor them
one by one.
Trip,
Trip 2,
Tonsilyitis, Crimean-Congo
Hemorrhagic Fever...
Are you gonna sob
out 190,000 names?
How can you be so
cold and insensitive?
Might he have recorded
what happened?
QUASI: Sure.
Except the footage was probably
murdered along with him.
ALOK: We could connect one of
the tricorders to his suit.
Whatever data is left,
we'll know who did this.
QUASI: You say that
like we're all suspects.
We're not. All right?
Fuzz, me and her were in the
scow when all this happened...
everyone in sight
of everyone else.
And nobody went anywhere, right?
- Right.
- GEORGIOU: Hmm.
Oh, this is not Zeph's.
Brunette. 25 centimeters.
(chuckles)
This is insane.
Stop fidgeting.
I've been in close quarters
with Zeph for a week.
Okay, so you're into
mecha boom-boom.
Lots of humans are. No shame.
(groans)
- (tricorder beeping)
- Hmm.
Well, that's impossible.
(tricorder beeps and whirs)
ALOK: Lieutenant Garrett,
why is Zeph's blood
underneath your fingernails?
GEORGIOU: Lieutenant Garrett,
evidence from you was
found on Zeph's body,
and evidence from Zeph's
body was found on you.
Not very Starfleet.
Oh, I am very Starfleet.
And you know I didn't do this.
You are just terrified of
anyone with a moral compass.
Mm.
And deep down in that
pure little heart,
you're actually a chaos
goblin, aren't you?
- I know you have it in you, angel.
- Don't call me that.
Starfleet sniffed you out
and put you in a place
where you'd be most useful.
Section 31 is just the place
for officers who bend the rules,
never quite break
them until they do.
And you fit right in here.
GARRETT: You can
torture me all you want.
You will never
make me a murderer.
ALOK: No.
(tricorder beeping)
QUASI: We've got footage!
ZEPH (on video): Stop!
Stop!
(pained groan)
This is my suit.
I am the suit!
(shouts)
The suit is me!
One second.
(grunting)
We were your friends.
We were your friends.
- You can't kill me.
- (drill whirring)
- QUASI: Zeph, no.
- You can't kill...
- (screaming)
- (Quasi and Fuzz groan)
QUASI: Zeph killed himself?
Why would he do that?
Sorry to disappoint
you, Your Majesty.
Look, none of this
is making any sense.
No, none of it makes
a lick of sense.
Why would he do this? Uh...
- Give me a couple minutes to...
- We don't have minutes.
QUASI: Well, then give me
a couple seconds, then.
Uh... (muttering)
- Could be you.
- GEORGIOU: Could be you.
ZEPH: And I still don't even
know what you look like.
You could change into
anything you want.
QUASI: She's new. She
doesn't care about us.
- I'm Starfleet.
- Whoa.
ZEPH: When you are
talking about the suit,
you're talking about Zeph.
FUZZ: This isn't Fuzz.
The Vulcan's just a
machine, you know.
I'm inside. (laughs)
Scale-shamer!
You wouldn't believe the
tiny spots I can get into.
For example, the inner
workings of body modifications.
There's an autopilot.
That's the only thing
that makes sense.
You set the Vulcan
machine on autopilot.
That's why its responses
were so strange.
- Aren't you coming?
- Yes.
You flew into
Zeph's exoskeleton.
And once you were inside...
GARRETT: Somebody ripped
out the theta junction.
Garrett, where's Zeph?
GEORGIOU: Then you took
control of Zeph's suit.
While the others were
out looking for him,
you made him sneak back
into the antenna array
and send those messages.
Don't do this to them!
We were your friends. (grunts)
GEORGIOU: Then you
destroyed the evidence.
And you killed Zeph.
(Zeph screaming)
And then you planted the
evidence on Garrett here.
Hands up, Fuzz.
Oh, shite and ever shite.
(grunting)
Whoa. You're honestly gonna
believe what she says, Alok?
Quasi, after everything
we've been through?
C-Can I just say
one thing first?
I'm still hacked into
Zeph's exoskeleton.
(laughing wildly)
(buttons beeping)
(Fuzz whooping)
(Alok grunts)
GARRETT: Come on!
What happened to "no
crew member left behind"?
- (device beeps, clicks)
- (grunts) Oh.
(shouts happily)
ALOK: Come on, come on!
Get us closer.
(buzzes, whirs)
(grunts)
(grunting)
(yelling)
QUASI: I got you. I got you.
- Nice and easy.
- ALOK: Damn.
(whooshing)
(grunting)
(yelps)
(groaning)
(whooshing)
(grunting)
(Georgiou screams)
(wind howling)
(laughing)
(laughing continues)
- (grunting)
- (blade stabbing)
(pained shout)
You keep tabs on the
black market, hmm?
And that's where you
heard about the Godsend.
Why do you care?
You killed your family.
What's a few billion
more people, huh?
Where is it? And who
are you working with?
You took your crown
while they died in agony
not ten feet away.
You condemned your
only friend to slavery,
and then you had the balls to
offer him kindness at the end?
(Fuzz laughing)
How could you know that?
Glad you're catching
on. (laughs)
He played you, Emperor.
San's alive.
(Fuzz laughing)
It's not possible.
That's not possible. How?
He built up an immunity
from that poison, you know.
Teeny tiny doses over time.
Once again, small shite
for the win, mama.
(laughs)
Where is he?!
He's gonna put on
quite the show.
You built the Godsend.
You made this monster.
This is all you.
(laughing)
(grunts)
(panting)
(grunting softly)
Be careful, all right?
I said be careful.
I have to get around in that.
(grunts)
(whirring)
SAN: You can afford a
hundred of them now.
FUZZ: Oh, great.
I'd settle for one that works.
(controls beeping)
(mutters) So that's it?
The almighty Godsend.
When you're emperor,
maybe start by naming it
something less confusing.
(taking deep, shaky breaths)
QUASI: Once that
passageway opens up,
he contacts the Terrans,
they come through.
They're detonating it here.
And he'd be the
darling of the Empire.
So he throws the
Federation into chaos...
Starfleet will start scrambling.
Perfect time to invade.
You gave birth to this thing.
- How do we stop it?
- GEORGIOU: We don't.
We're trapped here, so
we can't follow him.
The antenna's destroyed,
so we can't warn anybody.
That is bullshit.
- You can do better than that.
- I can't.
The Godsend is me.
I'm the only one I
could never defeat.
The past always
catches up with you.
Right?
ALOK: Doesn't mean
it always wins.
Every safe house, I
have a backup plan.
We'll get that scow running.
Boss, the scow won't fly.
Not without an asymptote coil.
ALOK: We have one.
We'll catch up with San.
We'll make sure he can't
contact the Terrans.
GARRETT: You ripped
out the coil.
Couldn't tell you while a
mole was still running around.
Asshole.
(clicks)
(whirring)
(ship powering up)
Okay, Quas, give her a rip.
(ship whirring, clanking)
- (ship powering down)
- (Georgiou and Alok groan)
Still just one pulse.
(ship powering up)
And we're in business.
Okay, team, we have
less than 30 minutes.
Quas, set a course for
the Crescent Nebula.
All right, this is
gonna be bumpy and bad.
I'm assuming San's
ship will be armed.
Yeah, every Terran ship's armed.
He'll have proton
cannons, torpedoes,
and we are a garbage
barge. (chuckles)
Why are you laughing?
Because I can't imagine
things getting much worse.
(Quasi laughing)
(exhales, clears throat)
(ship whirring)
QUASI: Let's go.
So, this thing flies around in
the middle of a tractor field.
People jettison their
garbage into space,
and the scow flies around
and drags the trash
along with the field.
(exhales heavily)
Once the tractor field is full,
it dumps the trash in the Nebula
where it disintegrates
in the radiation.
(scoffs) I just
want to be clear.
You're saying that our
best potential weapon is
a beam for collecting garbage?
- Yes.
- Great.
Hey, being judgy
never helped anything.
(scoffs)
- Where are you going?
- Engineering.
If that's our only weapon,
I'll redirect all power
to the tractor beams.
That's actually a good plan.
FUZZ: We're in position.
The passageway will open soon.
Do you know what I want
when this is all over?
Just a big space, you know,
for me hatchlings to tunnel
and fly around and...
(sighs) What do you want?
I want Philippa Georgiou to
marinate in her own defeat.
I get you guys are
all "eternal nemesis,
sexy evil tension"
and stuff, but...
- (alarm buzzes)
- SHIP COMPUTER: Alert.
Incoming vessel.
Collision trajectory detected.
Of course she got
it off the ground.
(laughing)
I say we should
use the torpedoes.
(controls beeping)
QUASI: They've picked us up.
GARRETT: Photon
torpedo incoming.
- Impact in five, four...
- Really want to take evasive action right now!
- three, two, one.
- Quas, hold the course. Put everything in our shields.
(strained grunting)
Why isn't she changing course?
Do I look like a fortune teller?
- (alarm blaring)
- (yelling)
ALOK: Do we have enough juice to
drag them with the tractor beam yet?
Yeah, but we can't take
another direct hit.
Incoming torpedo
in five, four...
- Keep it steady. We're almost there...
- three, two, one.
- ALOK: Now.
- (whooshing)
SHIP COMPUTER: Alert.
Navigation control suspended.
What are they gonna
do, drag us to death?
SAN: She's trying to stop
me from reaching the Empire.
Oh.
How's everybody
feeling about this?
- (groans)
- GEORGIOU: It's the only way.
This can work.
The radiation will wear
down their shields.
Yeah, the thing is, the
radiation hits us, too.
(groaning)
SHIP COMPUTER: Target
lock malfunction.
I can't get torpedo
lock. Cannons offline.
- (alarm beeping)
- San?
San.
(screams): San!
(grunting)
SCOW COMPUTER: Radiation
levels critical.
Shields are down. I
repeat, shields are down!
- (explosive blast)
- (groaning)
(grunts)
And San's?
His are at 12% and falling fast.
QUASI: Plasma incoming!
We get caught with
a burst like that,
and we're done.
This is chaos, Garrett.
You know you love it, hmm?
Maybe let it in, make
out with it a little.
It's why Starfleet put you here.
Chaos is my friend
with benefits.
Yeah, Garrett, let's get messy.
- Hmm?
- Okay.
- You got this, Quas.
- Uh-huh.
You ready?
GARRETT: San's shields
are at four percent.
Two now.
His shields are down.
Good to go.
(whirring)
- (blade stabs)
- (screams in pain)
(groaning)
SAN: Philippa!
This contest only ends
when one of us is dead!
(San yells)
(grunting)
GODSEND COMPUTER: Detonation
sequence activating.
(choking)
See, the Nanokins, we
don't need the Federation.
We never have.
We ruled before you
behemoths found us,
and we will rule again
after you're gone.
(grunting)
(yells)
Guess who survives
very large explosions.
(Alok choking)
Very small things.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I
need to cut our ship loose.
Sorry if your friends
die in the process.
No, I'm joking. (laughs)
I can't wait to kill them.
So long, you big lumps of shite!
(pained groan)
Who's flying that?
Uh, according to the sensors,
one tiny life-form on board,
and it's heading right for us.
Plot missile lock.
We have trash, all
right? Just trash.
- (explosion)
- (grunts)
(yells)
(grunting)
BOTH: But one.
YOUNG GEORGIOU: San.
(both shout)
(grunts fiercely)
(groans)
(clicking)
GODSEND COMPUTER: Awaiting
biosignature confirmation.
(ship rumbling)
I've got Fuzz's shuttle.
He's heading back to San's ship.
- We're barely keeping up.
- Stay on him.
Uh, we don't have any weapons.
We have a payload
bay full of trash.
Do not lose that shuttle.
Okay.
(pained groan)
SAN: I was nothing!
That boy was soft, weak.
But all those years under your
heel taught me who I am now.
The Empire's coming
through that portal.
My Empire!
And we will reign
over this universe
with righteous
mercy, not like you!
There are no benevolent
dictators, San.
You taught me that.
We can come back from this.
We can start over.
(gasp echoes)
(yelling)
(grunting)
GARRETT: Oh, I love chaos.
(singsongy): Chaos is my jam.
I love chaos. I love chaos.
- (ship rumbling) - QUASI: Garrett, what
the hell - are you doing down there?
Quasi, I am a trained
Starfleet officer
who fully intends on living long
enough to be captain one day.
You got to trust me, okay?
ODD VOICE: Hi
there. (chuckles)
I'm so glad you found me.
What'd you just say?
GARRETT: Uh... uh...
It's a toy.
Looks like it came
from a Droom planet.
Shall we do something
fun together? (laughing)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You okay down there, Starfleet?
(laughing): Whoa.
(Garrett panting)
Oh, come on, come on,
come on, come on. Yes.
Oh, we do not let Droom
tech into the Federation
because they use Terrenium
as a power source.
Oh, you're gonna blow
us up, aren't you?
You better hope that
this ship's hull
is reinforced with Tomohite.
(grunting)
(blade clangs)
(San yelling)
(Godsend clicks)
I am a science officer.
And science is just
controlled chaos.
Whoa, chaos, chaos,
chaos, chaos, chaos!
Ah, come on.
Get up, you stupid robot.
(clicks)
(grunting)
(yelling)
(yells)
(crying)
No. No.
No!
Stay in front of Fuzz's ship
so we can open the payload bay.
- (ship rumbling)
- Uh, yeah.
About that.
- Uh, thing is...
- Quasi, there's about to be a very large explosion.
This console's in a
language I don't know.
I can decipher some of it.
I just have to break
it down to morphemes
- and, you know...
- Large explosion impending.
Either of these two buttons
could open the cargo bay.
Okay, so push them both.
Either of these two
buttons could also
initiate a
self-destruct protocol.
- We're gonna blow up anyway.
- Uh-huh.
- Um, uh.. Huh?
- Quasi. Quasi, look at me.
You just need to make a call.
You know what to do.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(laughing)
(whimpers softly)
(distorted laughing)
Uh...
We can be friends forever...
(exhales)
(growls)
(grunting fiercely)
(Fuzz coughing)
(pained grunting)
Do you want to hear
something funny?
I'm on autopilot.
(laughing)
(Fuzz snarls, mutters)
What the hell?
DROOM DOLL: We're
all gonna die.
(giggles) We're all gonna die.
No!
It's wonderful just
to be with you.
(screams)
- Whoo!
- Whoa!
(laughing)
Yes!
(both grunt)
(both groan)
- (ship rumbling)
- (grunting)
(growling)
- (yelling)
- (wailing)
(grunts) Die now.
Go tell your family how
much you've changed.
(wailing)
(laughter echoes)
(wailing)
(grunts)
(panting)
San.
No. No.
No.
San.
(sobbing softly)
San.
This is not what I want.
Please.
- (whispers): I love you.
- (whispers): I love you.
YOUNG GEORGIOU: San.
San.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You-you-you were right.
I still needed you.
I always needed...
To show me who I am, even now.
(sobbing softly)
Now.
M-M... My emperor.
My love.
- (Georgiou sobbing)
- (exhales)
(crying): No.
We are one.
Forever.
SHIP COMPUTER: Ion storm
convergence imminent.
Passageway is opening.
(clicking)
(gasps)
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Biosignature confirmed.
Detonation in 60 seconds.
GEORGIOU: Computer, target
lock on the passageway.
SHIP COMPUTER: Target
lock confirmed.
GEORGIOU: If you
could go back,
and you were kneeling
in front of Giri,
would you kill her?
Would you put a stop to all the
suffering and smoke forever,
even if it meant
that you had to die?
Yes.
Then I'm glad I knew
you, Alok Sahar.
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in 30 seconds.
SHIP COMPUTER:
Passageway is open.
QUASI: Sensors show they've
activated impulse engines.
What?
- Yeah.
- You need to transport them back.
- Yeah. Okay.
- GARRETT: Now.
QUASI: Okay, okay, okay, okay.
The storm's interfering.
I can't lock on to them.
(clicking)
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in ten seconds.
(Godsend clicking)
QUASI: Come on. Come on!
GARRETT: They're
running out of time.
QUASI: I'm trying.
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in five,
four, three,
two, one.
(explosive rumbling)
(electronic whirring)
GEORGIOU (echoing):
Lieutenant Garrett?
Rachel?
(chuckles)
(Garrett coughing)
(sighs)
You all right?
- I'm okay.
- Hmm? You here?
- Yeah. You're alive.
- All right.
Yeah, Quasi got us out.
- There we go. There we are.
- GEORGIOU: Thank you.
GARRETT: Oh, you did it.
(laughing): Oh, we won.
- GEORGIOU: Oh. Grow up.
- (laughing)
Perkiness is disgusting.
Yeah.
I hear you.
(sighs) It's happening.
The passageway's collapsing.
(electrical humming, whooshing)
(upbeat music playing)
(lively chatter)
(singer vocalizing)
There she is.
How was your debrief?
Oh, could've been worse.
They made me an offer.
And?
- I'm sitting on it.
- (chuckles)
You?
Meh. Hmm.
(chuckles softly)
Hmm.
And how long did you think
you could fool me
with this, hmm?
- What gave it away?
- Mm.
You still get nervous
when I look at you.
Oh. Hey, C-Cap.
ALOK: Leave that
poor man alone.
Virgil.
A round of elixirs
for my friends.
- Pleasure, Madame du Franc.
- Mm-hmm.
Lieutenant Garrett.
They let you off the ship.
It's actually Lieutenant
Commander Garrett now.
- Oh.
- Thank you very much.
And if this unit is gonna
be a permanent detail,
then you all definitely
need oversight.
I may slaughter you
all at any moment.
Is that a deal-breaker?
- Nah.
- Whatevs.
It's not like you
need a reason anyway.
- It's true. You're a bad bitch.
- (laughs)
- With the stare of death.
- QUASI: Oh, we get it.
You're a terrifying,
soulless murderer
who we can never truly trust.
I love that for us.
Somebody's got to
keep things lively.
- QUASI: Touch. - ALOK: Yes, touch.
- You make a point.
(Georgiou speaks French)
- To us.
- (glasses clinking)
To us.
This isn't poison, is it?
GEORGIOU: And now that
you have us all here,
what next?
Well, not quite all.
Ladies and gent, stage left.
You got to be kidding me.
(Southern accent):
Oh, I'm not Fuzz.
(chuckles) Section 31 bought
two of these conveyances
on the black market.
Name's Wisp. I'm his wife.
And I'm here for
when we catch up with
that lying, double-dealing
son of a bitch.
Uh, well, we blew
up his ship, ma'am.
- Uh, Mrs. Fuzz.
- (chuckles) Oh, honey.
Little things sometimes
survive big explosions.
And when we find him,
I have questions.
- Now, what are we talking about?
- ALOK: I'm glad you asked.
I was just letting
the team know.
Control has a job for us.
(chimes)
(electronic whirring)
(sighs)
My better judgment has been
screaming at me
for two days now.
It keeps saying that you lot
are gonna cost me my job.
- We might.
- She might.
CONTROL: I told my
judgment to shut up
and take a nap.
'Cause we have work to do.
Has anybody been to Turkana IV?
- Whew.
- QUASI: Wait.
Did you say Turkana
or say Jur-Jurnana?
He thought "Your Mama IV."
(laughs): Oh, Your Mama IV.
- GEORGIOU: No.
- (laughter)
(whooshing)
(music ends)
(whooshing)
(metal clanks)
(metal clanks)
(metal clanks)
(metal continues
clanking in distance)
(wind whistling softly)
She's back! She's home!
Philippa came home!
(windmill creaking)
(fire crackling)
YOUNG GEORGIOU: Two years,
and everything looks
exactly as I remember.
(laughs)
I never thought I would
see this place again.
(slurps softly)
There were 18 of us this time.
Culled from every
corner of the Empire
and brought to Terra
for the contest.
We were told that only
one of us would survive
the years to come.
One child...
the purest expression
of the Terran identity.
They pitted us
against each other.
And month by month,
our numbers dwindled.
FATHER: Did... did you win?
Is it over?
Two of us still live.
San and me.
Me and San.
BOTH (quietly): We are two...
but one.
BOTH: Forever.
The word "friend" was
forbidden during the contest,
but we whispered it to each
other when no one could hear.
San and I combined our skills
against the proctor and
the other contestants.
But only one of you
could be emperor.
One task remains.
The first to complete
it rules the Empire,
and the other spends
the rest of their life
in servitude to the new emperor.
What do you have to do?
(Argo coughing)
(coughing)
(retching)
I'm sorry.
What did you do?!
"No ties to the old
life are permitted.
(coughing and retching continue)
"An emperor can only
be loyal to duty.
"Thus does the
Empire remain strong.
Thus does it grow."
- Mom.
- Philippa.
(sobbing)
(breathes deeply)
(distant rumbling)
You succeeded where your
competitor could not.
Bring him here.
San did not have the strength
to pass the final test.
Even now, his village burns as
a testament to his cowardice.
(whispers): I love you.
TERRAN PROCTOR: You
have won the contest.
Claim your victory.
San, step forward.
You live now only to
serve at her heel.
Kneel before the one
who owns your life.
(quietly): We are two...
But one.
Not anymore.
(shuddering breaths)
- (skin sizzling)
- (gasps)
(pained screaming)
TERRAN PROCTOR: All
hail Philippa Georgiou!
All hail the emperor!
CROWD (chanting):
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Hail!
(electrical humming)
CONTROL: This is Control
with a priority message
for Alpha Team Leader.
Your subject is Emperor
Philippa Georgiou,
former ruler of
the Terran Empire.
It's in a parallel universe
with the most
criminal population
in recorded history.
Even there, Georgiou had the
market cornered on atrocities.
(rumbling)
In 2257, she was
brought to our universe
and joined Section 31,
but after a few years,
we lost contact.
Recently, Georgiou was
spotted using an alias
in the border territory
outside Federation space,
where we're tracking a new
threat on the black market.
This is where your
team comes in.
Federation treaty forbids us
from crossing over that border,
which means Starfleet
cannot get its hands dirty.
You and your 31 team will go
in, make contact with Georgiou
to help identify and
neutralize the threat.
But make no mistake...
this dog bites, so
watch your backs.
You have 24 hours to
complete the mission.
Get to work.
(ships whooshing, rumbling)
(upbeat music playing)
(singer vocalizing)
(laughing)
(lively chatter)
(vocalizing continues)
(laughs)
VIRGIL: Madame du Franc?
Small incident in the
honeymoon suite. (chuckles)
I'm afraid the bride molted
just as things were coming
to a climax. (laughs)
- GEORGIOU: Virgil, get to the point.
- (clears throat)
I sent a biohazard team
and your condolences.
Also, there's a customer
hoping for a word with you.
He seems entirely sober
but quite intoxicating.
Madame Veronique du
Franc will see you.
(vocalizing continues)
Alok Sahar, Madame
Veronique du Franc.
Madame du Franc normally
does business by appointment.
I'd like to make an appointment.
Oh, the gentleman would
like to make an appointment.
- ALOK: Now.
- VIRGIL: Now, madame.
- (in French): Impossible.
- (in English): Impossible.
(speaks French)
GEORGIOU: Mmm.
Mmm.
Au revoir, Virgil.
Mm-hmm.
(sighs)
ALOK: That is illegal.
And that makes money.
GEORGIOU: This is a
reputable establishment.
ALOK: Not what I heard.
- Why don't we discuss it in your office?
- Hmm.
Why would I take you to
my office, Alok Sahar?
Because it's a
hands-on experience.
(applause)
(vocalizing over lively music)
Everywhere I go
Everybody knows...
- (crackling)
- (music continues in distance)
ALOK: Dulcet thistle.
Dulcet thistle's extinct.
I've got a dozen
keys of this stuff.
Have you partaken?
This would be one of
my few first times.
Packs a punch.
- A happy punch.
- Mmm.
Bottoms up.
- To money.
- To you.
GEORGIOU: Mmm.
(chuckling sigh)
Now, let's cut the shit.
What is Section 31 doing
in my space station?
Hmm? You think I don't know
an agent when I see one?
You're heading up a
team of six operatives,
and they're all over the bar.
(audio rewinding)
There's the Chameloid,
a green-blooded shape-shifter,
trying to muster sexy
time with a Deltan,
a walking honey trap
31's obviously using
as a distraction.
Except Chameloids are the
only species in the galaxy
immune to Deltan
sexy time charm.
Then there's the guy with
all the high-end mech,
standing in the back,
looking like he has thoughts.
Mech life, it ain't just
about the brute force.
- (screaming)
- (laughs)
GEORGIOU: I'm gonna say heavy
on artillery, low on IQ.
I'm so sorry.
And we can't forget the Vulcan,
laughing way too hard
at the stage banter.
(laughing loudly)
And since Vulcans never laugh,
he's either an idiot, too,
or lost his mind during
pon farr and went insane.
(snorts, laughs)
Oh, come on. That was funny.
GEORGIOU: And the very serious
human you stuck him with...
Reel it in anytime.
She's got a stick so
far up her backside,
it's coming out her mouth.
Just reel it in.
(slurps)
- (sighs)
- ALOK: That would be
- Lieutenant Garrett.
- Mmm.
Starfleet.
Where fun goes to die.
It took you long
enough to find me.
We knew that having
you here on the Baraam
would be valuable to us one day.
Well, I'm not feeling
motivated to be valuable
to anyone but myself.
(upbeat music playing)
Say yes tonight
Say yes to everything...
So, is this where we
start negotiating?
Hmm, that depends.
How long have you
known about me?
Ever since you took over
from the previous owner,
who we still haven't found.
Well, all of.
- That wasn't me.
- Emperor Georgiou,
I am authorized to arrest you
- and wipe your mind clean.
- (laughs)
But then again,
there's a part of me
that wants you to live
with your memories.
The genocidal ones.
Being authorized to arrest me
isn't the same as being
able to arrest me.
You really want Section
31... want me...
dogging you until
the end of time?
(singsongy): Boring.
The past always
catches up with you.
And as much as both of us
might hate it, I'm
doing you a favor.
(sighs)
One last mission.
Listen.
Do you believe in fate?
Because I do.
You can't hide from it.
You're nothing here, Georgiou.
I'm giving you a
chance to get back in.
In on the action on
a galactic scale.
Stop running from it.
Be who you are.
Or stay and tend
bar for eternity.
Let's get on with it.
ALOK: Philippa
Georgiou, meet my team.
This is Melle.
(chuckles)
Zeph.
You look like a
Swiss Army knife.
Uh, hold on. (laughs)
I don't know what that
means, but I'm not gonna
just stand here
and get insulted.
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about your suit.
(clears throat)
ZEPH: Um, you're new,
so I'm gonna just
explain this one time
that when you are
talking about the suit,
you're talking about Zeph.
- Oh.
- QUASI: Zeph suffers from
what we call mecha dysmorphia.
ZEPH: And I may not
know what that is,
but I'm also not gonna take that
from you, Quas, and
personally I'm offended.
- I think you should know...
- Well, it's accurate.
It's not a diagnosis.
You're not a doctor.
ALOK: Zeph. Zeph, Zeph!
- He knows. He knows. He knows.
- Okay, fine.
He knows.
- He gets it. He gets it.
- Yes.
Okay, what about that Vulcan?
Nobody told her?
This? The thing
you're talking to?
The Vulcan's just a machine.
I'm inside.
Driving.
I control the body
from a backup vehicle.
Yeah, something I use
to get into tight spots.
Hi there.
I'm Fuzz.
(laughs)
Fuzz is a Nanokin.
Real fun-loving guy.
Hello.
- (chuckles)
- Except for when he's not.
Then he's deranged with an
anger management problem.
Well, you could've stopped
at the first thing, Quasi.
A bootleg Vulcan conveyance?
You must see cool stuff
on the black market.
QUASI: Nanokins are
pretty scavengery.
31 made first contact when
we discovered an infestation
on a derelict ship.
- Quasi.
- Oh, shit.
(voices overlapping): Say
"infestation" one more time, Quasi.
Say "scavenger," you
sack of amorphous soot!
I-I s... I heard it
as soon as I said it.
I will kick your ass
until you cannot form
a solid mass of...
Fuzz. Fuzz. Lock it down.
I am locked down.
I'm trapped inside a
giant robot Vulcan head.
No one is more locked
down than me right now!
Nanokins have a wonky
emotional spectrum.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, I will not
be condescended to, Melle,
particularly not by
you, because honest...
MELLE (whispering): I love
you. You are everything.
- Does my spectrum work for you?
- ZEPH (echoing): Fuzz.
- I mean, like, like, are you into it or...
- Fuzz!
Fuzz!
She's insulting
you, pal. (laughs)
I know Deltans are gonna
do their Deltan thing,
but have a little
self-respect, would you?
Can we continue?
And that's Lieutenant
Rachel Garrett.
She is detailed to Section
31 for this one mission only.
Who did you piss off to get
stuck in black ops, Lieutenant?
Starfleet is here to make sure
we color inside the lines.
GARRETT: Starfleet is here
to defend the Federation,
keep the peace and make
sure no one commits murder.
- (scoffs) And you?
- One moment.
ALOK: Quasi came on my radar
when he proved the
existence of glioclusters.
Glioclusters are theoretical.
Formerly theoretical.
Life is just branching
possibilities.
You know, they bloom and
blossom any way you can imagine.
For example, I could be
intimidated by you right now.
I mean, after all,
you've murdered
so many people...
(chuckles nervously)
and you seem to be staring
right into my soul.
(exhales)
I could respond to that
or I could observe my
feelings right now,
lock it away and do
what I need to do.
- Or...
- Quas. Pick one. Hmm?
- QUASI: Yes.
- MELLE: Sometimes Quasi sees
- so many options he gets brain-freeze.
- Thank you, Melle.
- Quasi, can we carry on, please?
- Mm-hmm.
Our target's name is Dada Noe.
Dubious moral compass.
Ran a pathology lab on the Watt
Colonies before he went rogue.
Since then, he's been
designing bioweapons on spec.
Noe's on his way to the Baraam
to sell his latest creation
to the Minosian High Council.
There are no formal hostilities
with the Minosian Sway,
but that could change
if they get their hands
on a superweapon.
GEORGIOU: Do we know what
this bio superweapon is?
GARRETT: No, but if Dada
Noe is selling it, it's bad.
So you're here to make sure
the sale never happens.
How?
Things went south
when you spotted us,
but the plan is still solid.
First, Alok was going to...
You can say it.
Connect.
- With you.
- (laughs)
- Welcome! Mmm.
- Yes.
(Georgiou squeals)
What a cute idea.
Once we had you
suitably distracted,
Quasi would do the
other thing Quasi does.
ALOK: Okay, Quasi.
- If you would do the honors.
- Absolutely.
Let's get to work.
Welcome, Dada Noe.
ALOK: This is where
Fuzz comes in.
(laughs)
(chuckles)
FUZZ: You wouldn't believe
the tiny spots I can get into.
For example, the inner
workings of body modifications.
Oh, once I fly inside
Dada's body mod,
well, then it's
time to get to work.
So many circuits.
So many things that
could go wrong.
Competency crusader here
will talk me through
the tech on the implant.
And if I think we're putting
Dada Noe's life in danger
by tinkering with that implant,
I will unleash the full
weight of Starfleet
on this whole operation.
Oy, we're talking about a bloke
who's selling superweapons
to any third-rate terrorist
with a Latinum card.
GARRETT: Listen
carefully, Junkyard.
Starfleet does not
do assassinations.
Ay, don't get your prime
directives in a bunch.
You are not going to
get your hands dirty
and mess up your chances
of becoming captain.
I'm a top-tier science officer.
- Butt pretzel.
- (coughs): Tight-ass.
- (Quasi clears throat)
- So disrespectful.
Soon as Garrett and
Fuzz sever that link...
he'll be under our control,
and I'll take him down
- with the help of Zeph.
- Mm.
(screams)
- That's what I call a hit.
- One.
Dada Noe and his pathogen
will be in custody
before the buyers can even
show up to the Baraam.
And we are in and out.
Mm. Meh.
OTHERS: Meh?
I have a simpler idea.
Desperate, I can tell
All that begging
Suits you well.
Blowing up my phone now
Going up, you bow down
Look at who needs who...
Welcome, Monsieur Dada Noe.
We're honored to have
you here at the Baraam.
I am Veronique du
Franc, the proprietor.
I told them to have
my suite ready.
Mais oui, monsieur.
May I escort you
to your quarters?
Come.
We have the most exquisite...
I can't believe you're
trusting this sociopath.
ALOK (over comm):
Well, Lieutenant,
you got to do what
you got to do,
and I'm kind of familiar
with sociopaths.
I said don't bring me.
I trust your trip was
without incident, monsieur.
Well, your people
made everything easy.
Our pleasure. Here we are.
(door pulsing, beeping)
(groans)
So tacky.
But I guess that's
what you're known for.
(whirring)
What's this?
It's called a phase pod.
A client of mine gave
it to me as a gift,
and I got one for myself, too.
(beeping, whirring)
What are you doing?
Everything in the
universe vibrates
- on a certain wavelength.
- (grunts)
Damn it.
Give me back my case.
No.
That's coming out of
your security deposit.
The phase pod changes
the wavelength
of whatever they touch.
I am out of phase with you, and
you're out of phase with me.
I am, however, in
phase with your case.
(snorts)
And I will be taking it with me.
(laughs) You have no
idea what you've started.
(yells)
Whoopsie.
(screams)
- (grunts)
- (Zeph laughs)
Impressive.
Are you sure you're human?
Most days.
Thank you.
(Zeph whistling)
(sighs)
(deep rumbling)
Give me the case.
(both grunting)
(Georgiou panting)
(whirring)
(grunting continues)
Who are you?
(aliens moaning)
(chittering)
He went that way. That way,
that way, that way, that way!
(aliens yowling)
(chuckling)
(Zeph yells)
(squealing)
Oh, aliens.
- Naked aliens.
- ALOK: Go, Zeph, go.
He's headed to the lounge.
Man, they're moving fast.
(over comm): Melle,
he's coming to you.
(crowd screaming)
Yikes.
(frantic chatter)
(vocalizes)
(grunting)
(groans) No, it's okay.
- I'm all right.
- Melle, you got him?
Got him.
(whoops, chuckles) Ooh-la-la!
Ay, amor.
(grunts fiercely)
(crowd gasping)
(groaning, panting)
(groaning)
(screams)
(crowd murmuring)
(microphone feedback squeals)
(clicking, whirring)
(crowd cheering)
(cheers)
(groaning)
(beeping)
(grunts)
That's not possible.
I had that destroyed.
No. No!
(grunts)
It's not possible.
ALOK: You knew that weapon.
What is it?
What is it?
Fine. The hard way.
(Georgiou grunts)
(metal clanking steadily)
(coughs)
(metal clanking faster)
(screaming)
(breathing deeply)
MAN: The Eternal
Supplicant begs approach.
You have my permission.
All hail Her Most
Imperial Majesty,
Mother of the Fatherland,
- Overlord of Vulc...
- What is it?
It is finished, Your Majesty.
Where are my engineers?
(trembling): They... they took
their own lives upon completion.
Who is the tear for, San?
Speak.
It is for you, Majesty.
It is all...
for you.
(San's breath trembling)
I asked you a question, San.
(San sobs)
Why do you cry for me?
(sobbing softly)
Look at me.
Do you remember who we were?
Before all this.
The curious boy.
The innocent girl.
I only remember my
failure, Majesty.
Don't lie to me.
We were the only ones
who could understand
the cost to stay alive.
We made a team.
We needed each other, didn't we?
What did we say to carry
each other through,
to survive together?
We are two...
(San's breath trembling)
SAN: But one.
BOTH: We are two but one.
If I said then,
"Let's run away,
"let's flee this competition
and everything that
binds us to Terra,"
what would you have said?
Hmm?
The timing of your question
is more poetic than you know.
I would have said yes.
Then.
But now?
You could have made something
beautiful with your reign.
Instead, you chose
to build this.
That means that
innocent girl I knew,
she has been...
(choking): murdered.
(retching loudly)
What is this?
- You...
- (ragged breathing)
You took the same poison?
No! I forbid you to die!
No one wants to live
in your world, Emperor.
You are a monster!
(gasps)
(grunts)
GEORGIOU: And what
delightful place is this?
ALOK: A safe house.
But maybe not so safe for you.
You are Section 31.
Why aren't you torturing
answers out of me?
You're a tyrant.
A real one.
Torture wouldn't work.
How do you know so much
about people like me?
Hmm?
You learned tyranny somewhere,
and you learned hard.
If you have to hide
it, that's a weakness.
And I can't have
that in a partner.
- We're not partners.
- No?
I've been very helpful.
You had a plan
that couldn't work.
I gave you a better one.
You gave me a taste
of the action,
knowing I'd want more.
You need me.
You chose me.
Why?
Whatever you believed
your mission was,
it's worse than you thought.
Billions of lives are at
stake, and time is short.
Tell me you, and I
will tell you me.
The only way this
works is if I know
exactly who I'm dealing with.
I'm not from this time, either.
I was born on
Earth, 20th century.
You are 350 years old?
More or less.
I slept most of that time.
After my exile.
The Eugenics Wars.
Augments...
took my planet.
My home.
There was maybe ten
of us who fought.
Everyone I knew either
took a bullet or a blade.
But I gave some back.
She noticed me.
The Augment who
slaughtered my family.
They called her Giri the Marked.
She took me in.
Made me stronger than
any human should be.
She ripped me apart
and turned me into another
Augment for her army.
And I did terrible things.
All for a monster like you.
Because for tyrants,
there is only one choice:
murder.
You haven't killed me.
Yet.
I recognized the weapon because
I ordered it to be built.
Gather your people.
We're gonna need
every one of them.
GEORGIOU: In my universe,
there were always plotters.
Always a coup.
So I built a weapon
to end all threats.
I called it the Godsend.
It triggers a chain reaction,
like a virus passing
between planets.
Everything in its
path incinerates.
An entire quadrant
would be lost.
If my enemies
managed to kill me,
there would be
nothing left to rule.
ZEPH: Yeah, hi.
Quick question.
Sorry.
Yeah, no. Uh, just a qu...
it's just a quick one.
Is it Godsend or God's End?
Godsend or God's End?
I don't hear a difference
in what you're saying.
Really? Really?
Godsend. God's End.
- Yeah, I'm still not getting it.
- The Godsend is...
Wait, Godsend. I hear it now.
- It's Godsend. No apostrophe.
- Send.
The Godsend is here.
How? It's from another universe.
I don't know, but
that man had it.
The one that you
think is Dada Noe.
The one we know is Dada Noe.
No, he's not your
Dada Noe. He can't be.
He's from the Terran Empire,
and he brought the Godsend here.
That's the only way
he can know about it.
And since we have
him locked up tight,
- I'll interrogate him.
- GARRETT: No, no, no.
- We cannot trust a single word this woman says.
- Yeah.
She cost us Melle.
She's the only one who knows
what we're dealing with.
Yeah, well, so she
says, little bro.
- Little?
- (sighs)
Scale-shamer!
Microbes outlasted dinosaurs!
Calm your boots.
What I'm saying is...
I will piss in your suit
until you go all rusty like!
That she's the reason
this is all bollixed up.
She's the reason Melle's
dead, and she's the reason
we're in the ass
end of the galaxy.
ALOK: Listen up.
Georgiou and I are gonna
go back to the ship.
Dada Noe is our only
link to the Godsend,
so we're gonna have a
little chat with him.
What?
ALOK: Her name is
Philippa Georgiou,
Her Most Imperial Majesty.
Mother of the Fatherland.
Overlord of Vulcan.
Dominus of Qo'noS, Regina Andor,
Philippa Georgiou Augustus
Iaponius Centarius.
DADA NOE: Cool.
That come with fries?
(laughing): That
was good, right?
(grunts)
(groans) Okay.
ALOK: Every time you don't
answer her questions directly,
Her Majesty will punch
you in your face.
(sighs): Fine.
I'm Dada.
Dada Noe. Just Dada, then Noe.
That's it. No in-betweens.
And I, uh...
I used to run a pathology
lab in the Watt Colonies.
(grunts, groans)
What the shit, man?!
You said that she was gonna
be doing the face punching!
So now we both have lied.
You are not that Dada.
(sighs)
You're what these
people call his Mirror.
You came here from
the Terran Empire,
and you brought the Godsend.
What's the Godsend?
(Georgiou exhales sharply)
My own war council
tried to depose me.
Do you know how I convinced
the field marshal to talk?
Hmm?
(whispering indistinctly)
(grunts nervously)
I was an administrator
at an Imperial weapons
facility on Terra.
Uh, yeah.
The Godsend was
stored at my facility.
Most thought it was a legend,
but I knew it was real.
So you tried to sell it.
DADA NOE: Yeah, yeah.
I wanted to live here
quietly on its proceeds.
ALOK: How did you
get to our universe?
Hmm?
There was an ion storm.
Two of them, actually.
And when they converged,
which they do like clockwork,
they ripped something open on
the fringes of the Empire...
an anomaly, they called
it... but it was a passageway
to get to this place
from the Terran Empire.
(laughing)
Comes out through
your Crescent Nebula.
Few know about it. For now.
But it'll open
again in four hours.
That's when I was supposed
to be meeting my buyer.
Are you aware of what
that weapon does?
The Terran Empire's burned
through its resources.
There's famine.
Entire ecologies are collapsing.
They need to find
a new territory
to conquer and strip-mine.
When they realize that
their superweapon is gone,
they're gonna find
that passageway...
you know they will...
and they'll come
and they'll burn everything
they touch and enslave the rest,
because that's what the
Empire does, Majesty.
(chuckles): They
learned well from you.
(Dada Noe laughing)
- (screams)
- ALOK: Who else wants it?
DADA NOE: I-I don't know, man.
I got an offer.
The money was real.
Someone stole the
Godsend from us.
- Who was he?
- DADA NOE: No idea.
Whoever broke into my room,
whoever stole that weapon,
they know what they know
because they learned it
from one of you.
(Dada Noe groans)
(explosion)
(yelling, groaning)
ALOK (echoing):
Emergency transporter.
(explosions)
(Dada Noe screaming, whimpering)
Well, this is great.
Oh, even better.
ZEPH: Is that... is that
the ship? Is the ship gone?
I liked that ship.
What happened?
Sabotage.
What?
GEORGIOU: Whoever stole
the Godsend had a partner.
It was someone here.
Which means one of us is a mole.
(gasps)
- Could be you.
- Could be you.
GEORGIOU: If it were me,
I would have murdered
all of you already.
Look, boss, if there's a
mole, you know it's not me.
ZEPH: (laughs) I mean, that
sounds pretty moley to me.
- I don't know.
- (Quasi stammers)
QUASI: We've been on
like ten ops together.
Yeah, and I still don't even
know what you look like, do I?
No one knows what a
Chameloid looks like.
- You might change into anything you want.
- What about Fuzz, huh?
- He exists on a whole other scale than anybody else.
- Mm, deflecting?
My wife is about to lay our
first litter of egg sacs.
- No, I have 190,000 hatchlings on the way...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- And I want them to live.
- Well, look,
you could find a
motive for any of us.
Or it could be a
combination of any of you.
You know, like-like
Zeph and-and Fuzz or...
You are spinning
out without Melle.
You cannot land on a choice.
Maybe you're putting that in my
head because you're the mole.
Huh? How about
Garrett? She's new.
She doesn't care about us.
I'm Starfleet.
Whoa. Anyone else feel that
heroic breeze right there
ruffling her cape? (laughs)
GARRETT: Okay, there's
an old ship out there,
an old garbage scow.
Yeah, I found it when
you were up there
interrogating metal head.
Must be years since
anyone flew it,
but I think we can work with it
to go after whoever
took the Godsend.
Mm. I dislike you less.
Aw.
If I wanted someone to
like me, I'd get a dog.
I like order.
I like prediction
and conclusion.
Then you're on the wrong
team because we've got mole,
stranded on a dead planet,
no communication
with the outside,
and less than four hours before
the Terrans get the Godsend
and use it anywhere
in the galaxy.
Speaking of which, Quas,
what about the antenna array?
Uh, well...
Well, it's a couple
decades out of date.
We get it up and running,
then we tell 31 what's coming.
We work together.
- Everyone stays in sight.
- QUASI: Yeah.
Just...
Let's go.
(electricity crackling)
QUASI: Well, there
goes that idea.
Our little mole has
been really busy.
Ripped up all the wiring.
Two teams. I'll lead
one into the woods.
Three to see if we
can salvage that scow.
You stay here with the others
and try and fix
the antenna array.
Why is she giving us orders now?
Because I'm letting her
and I'm pretty certain
she's not the mole.
You wouldn't bet on a
horse named Pretty Certain.
Quas, Fuzz, you get to the
scow right away with Georgiou.
Zeph and Garrett, you
stay here with me.
We'll take care of
the antenna array.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'm supposed to go
out into the woods
with two people who
want to kill me?
Just stay in sight of each
other and don't get dead.
Okay?
QUASI: Yep, thanks, Cap.
I mean, just fifty-fifty shot
one of them wants to kill me,
- and then 25%...
- Quas, just get your ass out there.
I love you, too, Cap.
- ALOK: All righty.
- QUASI: Aye, aye.
QUASI: The internal
circuitry on this old scow
is still in decent shape.
- (device beeping) - Everything
I'm seeing should work.
So this thing we're
chasing, the Godsend,
your engineers, did they
install a fail-safe?
Can we disable it remotely?
There is no fail-safe.
I wouldn't allow it.
How very on-brand for you.
Can I ask you one more question?
I'm just gonna ask
you one more question.
So you brought the
Godsend into the world
to vaporize
quadrillions of lives.
Never thought that was a
little, you know, much?
I ordered it destroyed.
And someone hid it. Your
own people betrayed you.
Well, your corporate culture
was straight-up shit.
And you didn't
answer my question.
The asymptote coil is gone.
Someone must have scavenged
it for the terbium.
Well, find another one,
this thing should fly.
- Maybe the cargo hull.
- Huh. Oh, no, no.
Everyone stays
together, all right?
Limits the possibilities
of you killing us.
Uh... (stammers)
Let's go to the cargo hold,
please. (clears throat)
Aren't you coming?
Yes. I couldn't be more excited.
(rapid beeping)
ZEPH: Yeah, I could help
you down there, of course,
but considering how,
you know, control
is central to your
entire identity
and the fact that I'm
just not good at it,
I'm just gonna stand here
and honor our relationship
- by doing absolutely nothing.
- ALOK: Helpful.
It's called radical
self-acceptance.
- Evolved of you.
- Well, thank you.
So, can you fix it?
I'm not even sure it's broken.
It's just missing a part.
Look, this-this torn
wiring looks dramatic,
but this equipment has
redundancy built in.
There's an easy work-around.
Except somebody ripped
out the theta junction.
Other than that, this
thing should work.
Okay, well, maybe
our mole has it.
- Garrett?
- Yeah.
Zeph.
Where is Zeph?
Zeph, come in.
Zeph, do you copy?
(liquid dripping)
Zeph.
(whirring)
Garrett, was that you?
Garrett, what the hell was that?
GARRETT (over comm): Someone
just activated the antenna array.
Damn it.
What's happening?
Garrett, sitrep.
FUZZ: This is
going to be good.
ALOK: Lieutenant,
do you copy? Over.
QUASI: Clear.
GEORGIOU: Clear.
FUZZ: Nothing here.
How could someone have used
this to send out a signal?
Impossible. It's missing a part.
And someone shot it to hell.
GARRETT: I heard
someone running.
Zeph must have put the
theta junction back in.
Then shot it after
he used the array.
(sighs, groans softly)
So he must have circled
back after he went AWOL.
(sighs) Zeph came down to
this planet to sabotage us.
And now that we're stranded,
he sent a message to
whoever he's working with.
And he'll lay low until
his ride gets here,
and then he's long gone.
GEORGIOU: Then we need
to find him first.
(explosive blasts)
(beeping)
ALOK (over comm):
Observer, do you copy?
GARRETT: Please, Raider
One, when do I not copy?
That's funny. Status?
(static crackling)
GARRETT: I'm picking up
a lot of interference,
but the tricorder shows
Zeph's biosignature
was just in this sector. Over.
Copy. Stay low
and tight, people.
The warlord you served,
Giri, what happened to her?
She died like she lived.
By that, you know what I mean.
She was lucky.
She wasn't infected
with a conscience.
- Infected?
- Yeah.
A monster can only be a monster.
A monster with
regrets is useless.
Mm. So that's why
you were hiding
in a bar at the
ass end of nowhere.
Maybe it's why you're
working with 31.
To wipe your slate clean.
ALOK: There's always a price
to pay for people like us.
You wouldn't be here
if you didn't agree.
Oh, so that's why you chose me.
You think I'm a monster who
feels enough to be controlled
but still do the
real dirty work.
No, I think you want the
Godsend back because you know
it's your one chance
to redeem yourself
for all the shit you've done.
I want the Godsend
back because it's mine.
(beeping rapidly)
(sighs)
Ah. Zeph's exoskeleton
is leaking.
(rapid beeping continues)
Yep, more.
GEORGIOU: This way.
(groans)
Blip, Clip,
Grip,
Polio, Influensina,
- Cowpox...
- What are you saying?
I'm reciting the names
of me hatchlings.
Since one of you is
going to murder me,
I'm never gonna meet them,
but at least I can honor them
one by one.
Trip,
Trip 2,
Tonsilyitis, Crimean-Congo
Hemorrhagic Fever...
Are you gonna sob
out 190,000 names?
How can you be so
cold and insensitive?
Might he have recorded
what happened?
QUASI: Sure.
Except the footage was probably
murdered along with him.
ALOK: We could connect one of
the tricorders to his suit.
Whatever data is left,
we'll know who did this.
QUASI: You say that
like we're all suspects.
We're not. All right?
Fuzz, me and her were in the
scow when all this happened...
everyone in sight
of everyone else.
And nobody went anywhere, right?
- Right.
- GEORGIOU: Hmm.
Oh, this is not Zeph's.
Brunette. 25 centimeters.
(chuckles)
This is insane.
Stop fidgeting.
I've been in close quarters
with Zeph for a week.
Okay, so you're into
mecha boom-boom.
Lots of humans are. No shame.
(groans)
- (tricorder beeping)
- Hmm.
Well, that's impossible.
(tricorder beeps and whirs)
ALOK: Lieutenant Garrett,
why is Zeph's blood
underneath your fingernails?
GEORGIOU: Lieutenant Garrett,
evidence from you was
found on Zeph's body,
and evidence from Zeph's
body was found on you.
Not very Starfleet.
Oh, I am very Starfleet.
And you know I didn't do this.
You are just terrified of
anyone with a moral compass.
Mm.
And deep down in that
pure little heart,
you're actually a chaos
goblin, aren't you?
- I know you have it in you, angel.
- Don't call me that.
Starfleet sniffed you out
and put you in a place
where you'd be most useful.
Section 31 is just the place
for officers who bend the rules,
never quite break
them until they do.
And you fit right in here.
GARRETT: You can
torture me all you want.
You will never
make me a murderer.
ALOK: No.
(tricorder beeping)
QUASI: We've got footage!
ZEPH (on video): Stop!
Stop!
(pained groan)
This is my suit.
I am the suit!
(shouts)
The suit is me!
One second.
(grunting)
We were your friends.
We were your friends.
- You can't kill me.
- (drill whirring)
- QUASI: Zeph, no.
- You can't kill...
- (screaming)
- (Quasi and Fuzz groan)
QUASI: Zeph killed himself?
Why would he do that?
Sorry to disappoint
you, Your Majesty.
Look, none of this
is making any sense.
No, none of it makes
a lick of sense.
Why would he do this? Uh...
- Give me a couple minutes to...
- We don't have minutes.
QUASI: Well, then give me
a couple seconds, then.
Uh... (muttering)
- Could be you.
- GEORGIOU: Could be you.
ZEPH: And I still don't even
know what you look like.
You could change into
anything you want.
QUASI: She's new. She
doesn't care about us.
- I'm Starfleet.
- Whoa.
ZEPH: When you are
talking about the suit,
you're talking about Zeph.
FUZZ: This isn't Fuzz.
The Vulcan's just a
machine, you know.
I'm inside. (laughs)
Scale-shamer!
You wouldn't believe the
tiny spots I can get into.
For example, the inner
workings of body modifications.
There's an autopilot.
That's the only thing
that makes sense.
You set the Vulcan
machine on autopilot.
That's why its responses
were so strange.
- Aren't you coming?
- Yes.
You flew into
Zeph's exoskeleton.
And once you were inside...
GARRETT: Somebody ripped
out the theta junction.
Garrett, where's Zeph?
GEORGIOU: Then you took
control of Zeph's suit.
While the others were
out looking for him,
you made him sneak back
into the antenna array
and send those messages.
Don't do this to them!
We were your friends. (grunts)
GEORGIOU: Then you
destroyed the evidence.
And you killed Zeph.
(Zeph screaming)
And then you planted the
evidence on Garrett here.
Hands up, Fuzz.
Oh, shite and ever shite.
(grunting)
Whoa. You're honestly gonna
believe what she says, Alok?
Quasi, after everything
we've been through?
C-Can I just say
one thing first?
I'm still hacked into
Zeph's exoskeleton.
(laughing wildly)
(buttons beeping)
(Fuzz whooping)
(Alok grunts)
GARRETT: Come on!
What happened to "no
crew member left behind"?
- (device beeps, clicks)
- (grunts) Oh.
(shouts happily)
ALOK: Come on, come on!
Get us closer.
(buzzes, whirs)
(grunts)
(grunting)
(yelling)
QUASI: I got you. I got you.
- Nice and easy.
- ALOK: Damn.
(whooshing)
(grunting)
(yelps)
(groaning)
(whooshing)
(grunting)
(Georgiou screams)
(wind howling)
(laughing)
(laughing continues)
- (grunting)
- (blade stabbing)
(pained shout)
You keep tabs on the
black market, hmm?
And that's where you
heard about the Godsend.
Why do you care?
You killed your family.
What's a few billion
more people, huh?
Where is it? And who
are you working with?
You took your crown
while they died in agony
not ten feet away.
You condemned your
only friend to slavery,
and then you had the balls to
offer him kindness at the end?
(Fuzz laughing)
How could you know that?
Glad you're catching
on. (laughs)
He played you, Emperor.
San's alive.
(Fuzz laughing)
It's not possible.
That's not possible. How?
He built up an immunity
from that poison, you know.
Teeny tiny doses over time.
Once again, small shite
for the win, mama.
(laughs)
Where is he?!
He's gonna put on
quite the show.
You built the Godsend.
You made this monster.
This is all you.
(laughing)
(grunts)
(panting)
(grunting softly)
Be careful, all right?
I said be careful.
I have to get around in that.
(grunts)
(whirring)
SAN: You can afford a
hundred of them now.
FUZZ: Oh, great.
I'd settle for one that works.
(controls beeping)
(mutters) So that's it?
The almighty Godsend.
When you're emperor,
maybe start by naming it
something less confusing.
(taking deep, shaky breaths)
QUASI: Once that
passageway opens up,
he contacts the Terrans,
they come through.
They're detonating it here.
And he'd be the
darling of the Empire.
So he throws the
Federation into chaos...
Starfleet will start scrambling.
Perfect time to invade.
You gave birth to this thing.
- How do we stop it?
- GEORGIOU: We don't.
We're trapped here, so
we can't follow him.
The antenna's destroyed,
so we can't warn anybody.
That is bullshit.
- You can do better than that.
- I can't.
The Godsend is me.
I'm the only one I
could never defeat.
The past always
catches up with you.
Right?
ALOK: Doesn't mean
it always wins.
Every safe house, I
have a backup plan.
We'll get that scow running.
Boss, the scow won't fly.
Not without an asymptote coil.
ALOK: We have one.
We'll catch up with San.
We'll make sure he can't
contact the Terrans.
GARRETT: You ripped
out the coil.
Couldn't tell you while a
mole was still running around.
Asshole.
(clicks)
(whirring)
(ship powering up)
Okay, Quas, give her a rip.
(ship whirring, clanking)
- (ship powering down)
- (Georgiou and Alok groan)
Still just one pulse.
(ship powering up)
And we're in business.
Okay, team, we have
less than 30 minutes.
Quas, set a course for
the Crescent Nebula.
All right, this is
gonna be bumpy and bad.
I'm assuming San's
ship will be armed.
Yeah, every Terran ship's armed.
He'll have proton
cannons, torpedoes,
and we are a garbage
barge. (chuckles)
Why are you laughing?
Because I can't imagine
things getting much worse.
(Quasi laughing)
(exhales, clears throat)
(ship whirring)
QUASI: Let's go.
So, this thing flies around in
the middle of a tractor field.
People jettison their
garbage into space,
and the scow flies around
and drags the trash
along with the field.
(exhales heavily)
Once the tractor field is full,
it dumps the trash in the Nebula
where it disintegrates
in the radiation.
(scoffs) I just
want to be clear.
You're saying that our
best potential weapon is
a beam for collecting garbage?
- Yes.
- Great.
Hey, being judgy
never helped anything.
(scoffs)
- Where are you going?
- Engineering.
If that's our only weapon,
I'll redirect all power
to the tractor beams.
That's actually a good plan.
FUZZ: We're in position.
The passageway will open soon.
Do you know what I want
when this is all over?
Just a big space, you know,
for me hatchlings to tunnel
and fly around and...
(sighs) What do you want?
I want Philippa Georgiou to
marinate in her own defeat.
I get you guys are
all "eternal nemesis,
sexy evil tension"
and stuff, but...
- (alarm buzzes)
- SHIP COMPUTER: Alert.
Incoming vessel.
Collision trajectory detected.
Of course she got
it off the ground.
(laughing)
I say we should
use the torpedoes.
(controls beeping)
QUASI: They've picked us up.
GARRETT: Photon
torpedo incoming.
- Impact in five, four...
- Really want to take evasive action right now!
- three, two, one.
- Quas, hold the course. Put everything in our shields.
(strained grunting)
Why isn't she changing course?
Do I look like a fortune teller?
- (alarm blaring)
- (yelling)
ALOK: Do we have enough juice to
drag them with the tractor beam yet?
Yeah, but we can't take
another direct hit.
Incoming torpedo
in five, four...
- Keep it steady. We're almost there...
- three, two, one.
- ALOK: Now.
- (whooshing)
SHIP COMPUTER: Alert.
Navigation control suspended.
What are they gonna
do, drag us to death?
SAN: She's trying to stop
me from reaching the Empire.
Oh.
How's everybody
feeling about this?
- (groans)
- GEORGIOU: It's the only way.
This can work.
The radiation will wear
down their shields.
Yeah, the thing is, the
radiation hits us, too.
(groaning)
SHIP COMPUTER: Target
lock malfunction.
I can't get torpedo
lock. Cannons offline.
- (alarm beeping)
- San?
San.
(screams): San!
(grunting)
SCOW COMPUTER: Radiation
levels critical.
Shields are down. I
repeat, shields are down!
- (explosive blast)
- (groaning)
(grunts)
And San's?
His are at 12% and falling fast.
QUASI: Plasma incoming!
We get caught with
a burst like that,
and we're done.
This is chaos, Garrett.
You know you love it, hmm?
Maybe let it in, make
out with it a little.
It's why Starfleet put you here.
Chaos is my friend
with benefits.
Yeah, Garrett, let's get messy.
- Hmm?
- Okay.
- You got this, Quas.
- Uh-huh.
You ready?
GARRETT: San's shields
are at four percent.
Two now.
His shields are down.
Good to go.
(whirring)
- (blade stabs)
- (screams in pain)
(groaning)
SAN: Philippa!
This contest only ends
when one of us is dead!
(San yells)
(grunting)
GODSEND COMPUTER: Detonation
sequence activating.
(choking)
See, the Nanokins, we
don't need the Federation.
We never have.
We ruled before you
behemoths found us,
and we will rule again
after you're gone.
(grunting)
(yells)
Guess who survives
very large explosions.
(Alok choking)
Very small things.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I
need to cut our ship loose.
Sorry if your friends
die in the process.
No, I'm joking. (laughs)
I can't wait to kill them.
So long, you big lumps of shite!
(pained groan)
Who's flying that?
Uh, according to the sensors,
one tiny life-form on board,
and it's heading right for us.
Plot missile lock.
We have trash, all
right? Just trash.
- (explosion)
- (grunts)
(yells)
(grunting)
BOTH: But one.
YOUNG GEORGIOU: San.
(both shout)
(grunts fiercely)
(groans)
(clicking)
GODSEND COMPUTER: Awaiting
biosignature confirmation.
(ship rumbling)
I've got Fuzz's shuttle.
He's heading back to San's ship.
- We're barely keeping up.
- Stay on him.
Uh, we don't have any weapons.
We have a payload
bay full of trash.
Do not lose that shuttle.
Okay.
(pained groan)
SAN: I was nothing!
That boy was soft, weak.
But all those years under your
heel taught me who I am now.
The Empire's coming
through that portal.
My Empire!
And we will reign
over this universe
with righteous
mercy, not like you!
There are no benevolent
dictators, San.
You taught me that.
We can come back from this.
We can start over.
(gasp echoes)
(yelling)
(grunting)
GARRETT: Oh, I love chaos.
(singsongy): Chaos is my jam.
I love chaos. I love chaos.
- (ship rumbling) - QUASI: Garrett, what
the hell - are you doing down there?
Quasi, I am a trained
Starfleet officer
who fully intends on living long
enough to be captain one day.
You got to trust me, okay?
ODD VOICE: Hi
there. (chuckles)
I'm so glad you found me.
What'd you just say?
GARRETT: Uh... uh...
It's a toy.
Looks like it came
from a Droom planet.
Shall we do something
fun together? (laughing)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You okay down there, Starfleet?
(laughing): Whoa.
(Garrett panting)
Oh, come on, come on,
come on, come on. Yes.
Oh, we do not let Droom
tech into the Federation
because they use Terrenium
as a power source.
Oh, you're gonna blow
us up, aren't you?
You better hope that
this ship's hull
is reinforced with Tomohite.
(grunting)
(blade clangs)
(San yelling)
(Godsend clicks)
I am a science officer.
And science is just
controlled chaos.
Whoa, chaos, chaos,
chaos, chaos, chaos!
Ah, come on.
Get up, you stupid robot.
(clicks)
(grunting)
(yelling)
(yells)
(crying)
No. No.
No!
Stay in front of Fuzz's ship
so we can open the payload bay.
- (ship rumbling)
- Uh, yeah.
About that.
- Uh, thing is...
- Quasi, there's about to be a very large explosion.
This console's in a
language I don't know.
I can decipher some of it.
I just have to break
it down to morphemes
- and, you know...
- Large explosion impending.
Either of these two buttons
could open the cargo bay.
Okay, so push them both.
Either of these two
buttons could also
initiate a
self-destruct protocol.
- We're gonna blow up anyway.
- Uh-huh.
- Um, uh.. Huh?
- Quasi. Quasi, look at me.
You just need to make a call.
You know what to do.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(laughing)
(whimpers softly)
(distorted laughing)
Uh...
We can be friends forever...
(exhales)
(growls)
(grunting fiercely)
(Fuzz coughing)
(pained grunting)
Do you want to hear
something funny?
I'm on autopilot.
(laughing)
(Fuzz snarls, mutters)
What the hell?
DROOM DOLL: We're
all gonna die.
(giggles) We're all gonna die.
No!
It's wonderful just
to be with you.
(screams)
- Whoo!
- Whoa!
(laughing)
Yes!
(both grunt)
(both groan)
- (ship rumbling)
- (grunting)
(growling)
- (yelling)
- (wailing)
(grunts) Die now.
Go tell your family how
much you've changed.
(wailing)
(laughter echoes)
(wailing)
(grunts)
(panting)
San.
No. No.
No.
San.
(sobbing softly)
San.
This is not what I want.
Please.
- (whispers): I love you.
- (whispers): I love you.
YOUNG GEORGIOU: San.
San.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You-you-you were right.
I still needed you.
I always needed...
To show me who I am, even now.
(sobbing softly)
Now.
M-M... My emperor.
My love.
- (Georgiou sobbing)
- (exhales)
(crying): No.
We are one.
Forever.
SHIP COMPUTER: Ion storm
convergence imminent.
Passageway is opening.
(clicking)
(gasps)
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Biosignature confirmed.
Detonation in 60 seconds.
GEORGIOU: Computer, target
lock on the passageway.
SHIP COMPUTER: Target
lock confirmed.
GEORGIOU: If you
could go back,
and you were kneeling
in front of Giri,
would you kill her?
Would you put a stop to all the
suffering and smoke forever,
even if it meant
that you had to die?
Yes.
Then I'm glad I knew
you, Alok Sahar.
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in 30 seconds.
SHIP COMPUTER:
Passageway is open.
QUASI: Sensors show they've
activated impulse engines.
What?
- Yeah.
- You need to transport them back.
- Yeah. Okay.
- GARRETT: Now.
QUASI: Okay, okay, okay, okay.
The storm's interfering.
I can't lock on to them.
(clicking)
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in ten seconds.
(Godsend clicking)
QUASI: Come on. Come on!
GARRETT: They're
running out of time.
QUASI: I'm trying.
GODSEND COMPUTER:
Detonation in five,
four, three,
two, one.
(explosive rumbling)
(electronic whirring)
GEORGIOU (echoing):
Lieutenant Garrett?
Rachel?
(chuckles)
(Garrett coughing)
(sighs)
You all right?
- I'm okay.
- Hmm? You here?
- Yeah. You're alive.
- All right.
Yeah, Quasi got us out.
- There we go. There we are.
- GEORGIOU: Thank you.
GARRETT: Oh, you did it.
(laughing): Oh, we won.
- GEORGIOU: Oh. Grow up.
- (laughing)
Perkiness is disgusting.
Yeah.
I hear you.
(sighs) It's happening.
The passageway's collapsing.
(electrical humming, whooshing)
(upbeat music playing)
(lively chatter)
(singer vocalizing)
There she is.
How was your debrief?
Oh, could've been worse.
They made me an offer.
And?
- I'm sitting on it.
- (chuckles)
You?
Meh. Hmm.
(chuckles softly)
Hmm.
And how long did you think
you could fool me
with this, hmm?
- What gave it away?
- Mm.
You still get nervous
when I look at you.
Oh. Hey, C-Cap.
ALOK: Leave that
poor man alone.
Virgil.
A round of elixirs
for my friends.
- Pleasure, Madame du Franc.
- Mm-hmm.
Lieutenant Garrett.
They let you off the ship.
It's actually Lieutenant
Commander Garrett now.
- Oh.
- Thank you very much.
And if this unit is gonna
be a permanent detail,
then you all definitely
need oversight.
I may slaughter you
all at any moment.
Is that a deal-breaker?
- Nah.
- Whatevs.
It's not like you
need a reason anyway.
- It's true. You're a bad bitch.
- (laughs)
- With the stare of death.
- QUASI: Oh, we get it.
You're a terrifying,
soulless murderer
who we can never truly trust.
I love that for us.
Somebody's got to
keep things lively.
- QUASI: Touch. - ALOK: Yes, touch.
- You make a point.
(Georgiou speaks French)
- To us.
- (glasses clinking)
To us.
This isn't poison, is it?
GEORGIOU: And now that
you have us all here,
what next?
Well, not quite all.
Ladies and gent, stage left.
You got to be kidding me.
(Southern accent):
Oh, I'm not Fuzz.
(chuckles) Section 31 bought
two of these conveyances
on the black market.
Name's Wisp. I'm his wife.
And I'm here for
when we catch up with
that lying, double-dealing
son of a bitch.
Uh, well, we blew
up his ship, ma'am.
- Uh, Mrs. Fuzz.
- (chuckles) Oh, honey.
Little things sometimes
survive big explosions.
And when we find him,
I have questions.
- Now, what are we talking about?
- ALOK: I'm glad you asked.
I was just letting
the team know.
Control has a job for us.
(chimes)
(electronic whirring)
(sighs)
My better judgment has been
screaming at me
for two days now.
It keeps saying that you lot
are gonna cost me my job.
- We might.
- She might.
CONTROL: I told my
judgment to shut up
and take a nap.
'Cause we have work to do.
Has anybody been to Turkana IV?
- Whew.
- QUASI: Wait.
Did you say Turkana
or say Jur-Jurnana?
He thought "Your Mama IV."
(laughs): Oh, Your Mama IV.
- GEORGIOU: No.
- (laughter)
(whooshing)
(music ends)
