00:01:36,185 --> 00:01:38,917
Once, a man came to Hari Seldon

3
00:01:38,941 --> 00:01:40,731
and asked to be told his fate.

4
00:01:48,656 --> 00:01:49,925
He wanted to know

5
00:01:49,949 --> 00:01:53,243
whether the predictive models could
chart the significance of his life.

6
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,044
But Hari told him only the movements
of masses could be predicted.

7
00:02:05,089 --> 00:02:10,030
The fate of one individual
will always remain a mystery.

8
00:02:53,887 --> 00:02:56,223
The clockwork of civilization...

9
00:02:59,059 --> 00:03:01,562
The rise and fall of cultures...

10
00:03:04,064 --> 00:03:06,233
Causes and worlds...

11
00:03:09,194 --> 00:03:12,948
These were answers
Hari Seldon had long since unriddled.

12
00:03:15,284 --> 00:03:18,704
Belief is a powerful weapon.

13
00:03:20,456 --> 00:03:24,980
That's why the Empire feared
Hari Seldon's predictions so much.

14
00:03:26,462 --> 00:03:32,468
Empires govern worldly concerns,
but what comes after? Our souls?

15
00:03:33,218 --> 00:03:35,488
These realms are the purview of faith.

16
00:03:35,512 --> 00:03:40,684
And faith is a sword
forged in the fires of the infinite.

17
00:04:25,896 --> 00:04:28,792
Empire? Do you seek different amusement?

18
00:04:28,816 --> 00:04:33,380
You'll do. For the routine pleasures
in the routine manner.

19
00:04:33,404 --> 00:04:35,990
Which pleasures do you prefer, Empire?

20
00:04:36,949 --> 00:04:41,161
Do you offer the pleasure of nothing?
Is that on the menu?

21
00:04:41,912 --> 00:04:44,915
Is it true?
No one's allowed to touch you?

22
00:04:47,835 --> 00:04:49,271
Bold, aren't you?

23
00:04:49,295 --> 00:04:52,173
I have only 24 hours of service to you.

24
00:04:52,609 --> 00:04:54,277
I want to make the most of it.

25
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,178
Then try to touch me.

26
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:03,850
I said try.

27
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:33,464
The aura repels kinetic energy.

28
00:05:35,549 --> 00:05:39,845
I want you to try it again,
with a softer touch.

29
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:42,640
Slower.

30
00:05:47,186 --> 00:05:48,187
Slower.

31
00:06:05,412 --> 00:06:07,265
So, how...

32
00:06:07,289 --> 00:06:08,391
...does the rest work?

33
00:06:23,806 --> 00:06:25,283
What?

34
00:06:25,307 --> 00:06:26,934
You are required, Empire.

35
00:06:28,352 --> 00:06:31,915
I understand Empire has
a physiological need for intimacy.

36
00:06:31,939 --> 00:06:34,836
But the current matter
supersedes this need.

37
00:06:48,857 --> 00:06:50,233
Ambassador Thanwall.

38
00:06:50,916 --> 00:06:54,020
Most esteemed Empire,
glory to the light...

39
00:06:54,044 --> 00:06:55,857
Out with it, Ambassador.

40
00:06:57,006 --> 00:07:00,068
Proxima Opal has passed, Empire.

41
00:07:00,092 --> 00:07:01,278
Our condolences.

42
00:07:01,302 --> 00:07:03,405
Condolences. Heartfelt.

43
00:07:03,429 --> 00:07:05,365
Thank you, Empire.

44
00:07:05,389 --> 00:07:08,952
Proxima Opal will be missed
and mourned by her flock.

45
00:07:08,976 --> 00:07:13,248
And now the conclave will elevate
her successor, Zephyr Gilat.

46
00:07:13,272 --> 00:07:15,585
A capable candidate. We like her.

47
00:07:15,899 --> 00:07:18,461
Carry our condolences forward,
Ambassador.

48
00:07:18,485 --> 00:07:22,549
And inform Gilat
she's always welcome on Trantor.

49
00:07:22,573 --> 00:07:26,511
On the topic of a successor, Empire,

50
00:07:26,535 --> 00:07:29,891
there is some debate.

51
00:07:30,414 --> 00:07:34,062
Another candidate has been
gaining support.

52
00:07:35,169 --> 00:07:36,606
Zephyr Halima.

53
00:07:37,212 --> 00:07:41,443
Halima Ifa does not adhere to
accepted doctrine,

54
00:07:41,467 --> 00:07:44,154
as have our previous proximas.

55
00:07:44,491 --> 00:07:48,245
She is advocating for
a return to the Primary Octavo.

56
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:50,954
Is she suicidal?

57
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,830
Who is this woman to
question our primacy?

58
00:07:53,854 --> 00:07:55,790
A-A-Apologies, Empire. I-I...

59
00:07:55,814 --> 00:07:58,378
- Did you know about this?
- Only moments ago.

60
00:07:58,734 --> 00:08:00,378
When is Opal's funeral?

61
00:08:00,402 --> 00:08:02,112
Two days hence, Empire.

62
00:08:15,250 --> 00:08:17,427
Say nothing of this conversation.

63
00:08:17,451 --> 00:08:18,837
We will contact you shortly.

64
00:08:27,304 --> 00:08:29,866
I helped install the previous Proxima.

65
00:08:29,890 --> 00:08:32,452
I'll leave for the conclave
as soon as possible.

66
00:08:32,476 --> 00:08:35,371
Is that really necessary?
Can't you just holo-cast yourself in?

67
00:08:35,395 --> 00:08:36,456
Not this time.

68
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,297
Luminism claims
three trillion followers.

69
00:08:39,321 --> 00:08:42,278
This schism requires a personal touch.

70
00:08:50,494 --> 00:08:52,724
What's the Primary Octavo?

71
00:08:53,618 --> 00:08:56,955
A heretical scripture. Pre-imperial.

72
00:08:57,943 --> 00:09:01,232
It directly links the soul
to individuated sentience.

73
00:09:01,589 --> 00:09:05,068
- What does that mean...
- Individuated sentience.

74
00:09:05,092 --> 00:09:06,861
Think, Brother Dawn.

75
00:09:06,885 --> 00:09:09,573
If a soul cleaves only to
an individual being,

76
00:09:09,597 --> 00:09:12,891
that calls into question
that which cannot be individuated.

77
00:09:15,308 --> 00:09:20,417
All Cleons are
perfect genetic copies of the first.

78
00:09:20,441 --> 00:09:21,711
And therefore...

79
00:09:22,516 --> 00:09:24,184
We don't have souls.

80
00:09:24,903 --> 00:09:28,259
So, this Halima woman is saying
we're, what?

81
00:09:29,533 --> 00:09:30,719
Not human?

82
00:09:30,887 --> 00:09:32,387
Indirectly. But...

83
00:09:32,411 --> 00:09:34,472
And if the galaxy comes to believe

84
00:09:34,496 --> 00:09:37,767
their leaders are less than,
rather than more than themselves,

85
00:09:37,791 --> 00:09:39,729
they may cease to follow.

86
00:09:44,632 --> 00:09:46,277
We are a glass vessel...

87
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,156
Spun with a fine hand.

88
00:09:52,556 --> 00:09:57,205
If the pressures inside start to swirl
and we are not uniform...

89
00:10:00,260 --> 00:10:01,626
We may burst.

90
00:10:07,488 --> 00:10:09,801
- Who are you?
- Salvor Hardin.

91
00:10:10,991 --> 00:10:12,387
Warden of Terminus.

92
00:10:17,206 --> 00:10:19,978
Anacreons aren't
allowed on imperial soil.

93
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:24,892
What are you doing here?

94
00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:26,352
Scrapping.

95
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,895
That's a lot of armor for scrappers.

96
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,980
We're looking for
the ship's navigation module.

97
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:32,942
Any critical components were stripped
from this hulk decades ago.

98
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,778
But, again,
a real scrapper would know that.

99
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:39,490
You should leave.
Before the Empire catches wind of this.

100
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:41,492
My people do not fear the Empire.

101
00:10:47,751 --> 00:10:49,125
Look, I caught you by surprise

102
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:50,525
and now you're improvising.

103
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:55,339
But if you were gonna kill me,
you would have already.

104
00:10:55,569 --> 00:10:56,862
So what's the play?

105
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,266
That tower. Take us there.

106
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:06,392
Why?

107
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:11,355
Let me be clear, Warden.

108
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:14,132
We know how to use
every resource we come across.

109
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:17,445
The children we observed earlier,

110
00:11:17,469 --> 00:11:20,114
we've seen how they sneak away
just before dawn,

111
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:22,700
straying far away from
the rest of your flock.

112
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:25,201
If you won't lead us to the tower,

113
00:11:25,502 --> 00:11:27,204
we'll simply utilize one of them.

114
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:29,498
It's not that simple. We have a fence.

115
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:30,875
We're aware of your fence.

116
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,960
We saw you
perform maintenance on it earlier.

117
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:36,571
Which makes you the perfect
person to take us through it.

118
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,598
To the tower then!

119
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,202
The fence uses DNA recognition.

120
00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:59,237
It'll radiate anyone
who isn't in the database.

121
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:06,660
I might be able to get one of you in.

122
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:08,037
If we walk through together,

123
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,456
the fence should write off
the second person as an error.

124
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,707
Then take us all through it.

125
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,425
This only works once. Maybe.

126
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:20,657
The only thing I've ever dragged
through this fence was already dead.

127
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:33,145
I can feel you tensing up. Don't.

128
00:12:33,169 --> 00:12:35,289
If she isn't back within a watch,

129
00:12:35,432 --> 00:12:37,709
we'll raze your city to the ground.

130
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:55,626
Go. Get the others.

131
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:57,444
Establish a perimeter
and stay out of sight.

132
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:09,622
Wanna drive and I'll hold the gun?

133
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:22,118
Tell me your name, at least.

134
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:24,220
Are we best friends now?

135
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:26,323
You've risked a lot coming here.

136
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:28,683
We've risked everything, Warden.

137
00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:39,694
- No. There was a boy in our path!
- Don't get cute. I have eyes.

138
00:13:49,871 --> 00:13:50,931
The tower's that way.

139
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:53,191
I'm taking a shortcut.
Fewer watchmen this way.

140
00:13:57,754 --> 00:13:59,172
What is that?

141
00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:05,196
Stop.

142
00:14:10,225 --> 00:14:11,434
Stop.

143
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:21,128
The stories about Salvor Hardin?
They usually begin here.

144
00:14:22,178 --> 00:14:24,507
The warden and the ghost,

145
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:26,717
inexplicably bound together.

146
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:27,742
Thanks.

147
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,521
How did they slip past our radar?

148
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:41,524
Flew in the nap of the earth. Maybe.

149
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:42,817
Any sign of their ships?

150
00:14:42,841 --> 00:14:44,482
Ugh. They claimed to be scrappers.

151
00:14:44,506 --> 00:14:46,396
Said they were after
a navigation module.

152
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:48,447
- Obviously bullshit.
- We need to contact the Empire.

153
00:14:48,471 --> 00:14:49,770
We can't do anything
without authorization.

154
00:14:49,794 --> 00:14:51,992
Come on, Mom.
We're an imperial outpost in name only.

155
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:55,329
When was the last time they even
contacted us? A decade ago?

156
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:57,540
They won't defend us.
We need to do it ourselves.

157
00:14:57,564 --> 00:15:00,084
Easy. Violence is the last refuge...

158
00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:02,753
Of the incompetent, I know.
That's an old man's doctrine.

159
00:15:02,777 --> 00:15:04,516
It's an observation I made
when I was younger than you.

160
00:15:04,554 --> 00:15:08,134
Would Hari's plan have assumed
we'd wait for help or act on our own?

161
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:11,303
Hari is not here, Mom.
We need to help ourselves.

162
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:17,250
Welcome back, best friend.

163
00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:19,905
You left the conversation
just as we were

164
00:15:19,929 --> 00:15:21,522
really getting to know each other.

165
00:15:21,546 --> 00:15:22,966
Headache?

166
00:15:23,001 --> 00:15:24,692
Teeth feel like they're falling out?

167
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:26,237
What was that cursed thing?

168
00:15:26,261 --> 00:15:28,571
It was here when we colonized Terminus.

169
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,320
Didn't show up on any of our scans.

170
00:15:30,344 --> 00:15:32,241
I guess it didn't show
up on yours either.

171
00:15:32,457 --> 00:15:34,285
Why did it not affect you?

172
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:36,378
Let's just say I'm the last person
on Terminus

173
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:37,955
you wanted to come across.

174
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:39,856
So...

175
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:42,692
What now, Warden?

176
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:46,630
She had a small army with her.

177
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:48,924
An... And their tracks,
some of them were deep.

178
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:52,410
Shorter stride lengths. As if they
were carrying heavy equipment.

179
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:54,871
Like they're planning on digging in,
Dad.

180
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:57,624
- Well, what do you wanna do?
- I don't know.

181
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:00,186
I've been following my instincts, and...

182
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:01,896
I don't know,
maybe it was just dumb luck.

183
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,356
Your instincts didn't just
lead you to the ships.

184
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,549
They led you to her.
And you stopped her.

185
00:16:08,009 --> 00:16:09,403
If you were better at math,

186
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:12,931
you'd know that repeated luck was
more than just luck, Salvor.

187
00:16:13,848 --> 00:16:15,826
Whether your mother wants
to admit it or not,

188
00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:17,690
we have been following your lead

189
00:16:17,714 --> 00:16:19,854
from
the moment you pulled yourself upright.

190
00:16:20,772 --> 00:16:24,634
It's no accident
the people made you warden.

191
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:27,153
So lead us.

192
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:42,686
I have never had the pleasure, Empire.
How may I be of service?

193
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,021
Captain Obrecht, is it?

194
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:47,525
Shadowmaster, Empire.
Shadowmaster Obrecht.

195
00:16:47,549 --> 00:16:48,800
A fine likeness.

196
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,615
What's the protocol for dealing
with a problem palace attendant?

197
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,766
What level of attendant, if I may ask?

198
00:16:57,517 --> 00:16:58,738
Someone who works in the garden.

199
00:16:58,762 --> 00:17:00,913
May I ask the nature of the problem?

200
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:03,631
You may not. I just want her name.

201
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:05,995
I can ascertain that, Empire.

202
00:17:06,019 --> 00:17:07,920
Along with anything
else you may require.

203
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:09,303
That's all for now.

204
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:21,517
I saw at least a dozen Anacreons
outside the fence.

205
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:23,519
Travik, take the southern loop.

206
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,270
Kalin, cover the west.

207
00:17:25,294 --> 00:17:29,108
Yate, I want you on the east so you can
spot anyone coming over that ridge.

208
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:32,945
And if we see any of these guys,
what are we supposed to do?

209
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:34,029
Nothing.

210
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:35,622
Don't shoot at them,
don't speak to them.

211
00:17:35,646 --> 00:17:37,116
Just watch 'em and keep me informed.

212
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:38,461
What's this about Anacreons on Terminus?

213
00:17:38,485 --> 00:17:39,827
Calls herself Phara.

214
00:17:39,851 --> 00:17:42,371
Beyond that,
nothing about her story adds up.

215
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,790
If anyone can tell
whether somebody's lying, it's you.

216
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:47,168
That's just the thing.
I can't tell if she's lying

217
00:17:47,192 --> 00:17:49,003
or if she's just not telling the truth.

218
00:17:49,027 --> 00:17:50,195
Is there a difference?

219
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,930
I've got a plan.
But I'm gonna need your help.

220
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:01,140
What's this? Torture?

221
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:02,857
He's my manservant.

222
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:07,063
Runs and fetches.
Reseals my boots when they need it.

223
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:09,638
I'm thinking a watch has passed,

224
00:18:09,662 --> 00:18:12,485
as far as my weald-men are concerned.

225
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:14,076
Why are you really here, Phara?

226
00:18:15,386 --> 00:18:17,388
Salvor has a talent for reading people.

227
00:18:18,389 --> 00:18:21,017
It's uncanny, really.
I was just telling her mother about it.

228
00:18:21,518 --> 00:18:22,787
She doesn't believe you.

229
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:25,539
Well, you told her you're my boss.
Now my praise rings hollow.

230
00:18:25,563 --> 00:18:27,166
What's your interest
in the Foundation Tower?

231
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:31,253
The module. I already told you.
You keep asking me the same questions.

232
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:34,215
I'm giving you a chance
to give better answers.

233
00:18:34,239 --> 00:18:35,573
Crowns.

234
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:41,263
I know you're after something else.

235
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:45,601
We don't have any Anacreon artifacts,
no heavy weapons, so what...

236
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:46,876
This is going in circles.

237
00:18:48,336 --> 00:18:49,445
Explain it to her.

238
00:18:49,838 --> 00:18:51,565
Just give her what she wants.

239
00:18:51,589 --> 00:18:53,675
Your accent's not terrible.

240
00:18:53,892 --> 00:18:56,744
You were taught by someone
in the port city, obviously.

241
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:59,073
Those lazy vowels.

242
00:18:59,097 --> 00:19:00,515
I'm a trader.

243
00:19:00,921 --> 00:19:03,341
I do business with your people
now and then.

244
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:06,537
Thought I smelled a whiff
of Thespin on you.

245
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:09,708
I want the navigation module. That's it.

246
00:19:09,732 --> 00:19:10,900
Another lie.

247
00:19:11,443 --> 00:19:12,837
You speak Anacreon as well?

248
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:14,004
Not a word.

249
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:15,846
- Yet you know I'm lying?
- Cats.

250
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:19,218
That was a 50-50 chance.

251
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:20,893
Cats again. Who are you really?

252
00:19:24,247 --> 00:19:26,308
Twenty-five percent chance there.

253
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:27,775
Now it's back to crowns.

254
00:19:29,002 --> 00:19:31,988
Twelve and a half percent.
And another crown. Why are you here?

255
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:34,156
Another crown again.

256
00:19:46,936 --> 00:19:51,399
I'd give you the percentage,
but repeated luck is never luck.

257
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:57,655
Who are you?

258
00:19:58,156 --> 00:20:00,676
We're scrappers. The module.

259
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,804
You're not scrappers. And the navigation
module's a distraction...

260
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:05,514
Enough of these child games.

261
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:08,267
Take this Thespin thug off his leash
and let him get on with it!

262
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:09,292
Your scars...

263
00:20:10,585 --> 00:20:11,694
Keloids.

264
00:20:16,508 --> 00:20:17,967
Your left eye...

265
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:20,613
Nano-glass.

266
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:23,491
You lose it when
the Empire bombed Anacreon?

267
00:20:23,515 --> 00:20:26,744
I imagine you must have been, what,
five, six at the time?

268
00:20:26,768 --> 00:20:29,030
Neutron bombs have a low explosive yield

269
00:20:29,054 --> 00:20:31,499
but a high amount of ionizing radiation.

270
00:20:31,523 --> 00:20:35,628
Now, I know about 50% of the population
died off within a week,

271
00:20:35,652 --> 00:20:38,721
another 20 or 30
within the remaining year.

272
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,224
Odds are you came out the other end
an orphan, right?

273
00:20:43,618 --> 00:20:47,080
Probably lost a mom and dad.

274
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,167
Boiled alive.

275
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:53,837
Or maybe s-slower.

276
00:20:54,629 --> 00:20:55,630
Cancer.

277
00:20:58,091 --> 00:20:59,872
Thyroid for your mother.

278
00:21:00,201 --> 00:21:02,947
Her voice, it changed before she died.

279
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:05,598
Who else did you lose? A sister?

280
00:21:10,861 --> 00:21:11,946
A brother.

281
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:16,794
A little brother.

282
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:36,522
There's a deadness inside her.
It's like a...

283
00:21:36,546 --> 00:21:39,841
It's like a well with no bottom,
just sucking everything in.

284
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:42,719
She wants to die.

285
00:21:44,304 --> 00:21:48,016
She wants everyone to die. I felt it.

286
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:56,041
What she said when she broke,
did you understand any of it?

287
00:21:56,065 --> 00:21:58,753
Some, yeah. It's archaic Anacreon,
not the common vernacular.

288
00:21:58,777 --> 00:22:02,346
Well, she slipped up.
Because I understood something too.

289
00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:06,726
A name I remember from the holos.
Larken Keaen.

290
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:12,016
During the Anthor Belt dispute,

291
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,351
Anacreon and Thespis brought gifts
to the Emperor.

292
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:15,936
My people's was the Book of Ablut...

293
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,404
And Anacreon's was a bow
carved for its greatest hunter.

294
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,608
- Larken Keaen.
- Meaning?

295
00:22:20,632 --> 00:22:22,616
Phara's not just some junker.

296
00:22:23,218 --> 00:22:25,095
She's the Grand Huntress of Anacreon.

297
00:22:35,271 --> 00:22:38,525
All this unrest,
who's responsible for it?

298
00:22:39,234 --> 00:22:41,861
Sinkers. A nom de guerre.

299
00:22:42,362 --> 00:22:45,188
After the heat sink
meltdown on level 77.

300
00:22:45,212 --> 00:22:47,968
It was caused when the Star Bridge fell.

301
00:22:47,992 --> 00:22:51,871
And 35 years later we're still grappling
with the aftereffects.

302
00:22:54,332 --> 00:22:59,504
The businesses of Empire is
a cascade of competing priorities.

303
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:03,341
Brother Day will need your support
while I tend to the conclave.

304
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:05,569
It's overwhelming.

305
00:23:05,593 --> 00:23:06,803
For one man.

306
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:10,491
Fortunately, there are three of us.

307
00:23:10,515 --> 00:23:14,210
Bad tidings also come in threes.
Have you heard the news, Brother?

308
00:23:14,936 --> 00:23:17,718
A communications buoy
in the Arcturus Sector

309
00:23:17,742 --> 00:23:18,916
has come off-line.

310
00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:21,961
They must go off-line
all the time, right?

311
00:23:21,985 --> 00:23:24,338
We probably have thousands of them
across the galaxy.

312
00:23:24,362 --> 00:23:25,673
Tens of thousands.

313
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:28,950
But only one that handles communications
in the Outer Reach.

314
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:32,537
I see that you fail to grasp
the significance.

315
00:23:33,385 --> 00:23:34,803
It's Terminus.

316
00:23:36,166 --> 00:23:39,711
It's where Brother Dusk exiled
Hari Seldon's followers.

317
00:23:43,423 --> 00:23:48,285
The Reach. The conclave. Insurgency...

318
00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:52,140
Do you see a pattern forming here?

319
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:54,142
Show them.

320
00:23:56,019 --> 00:23:57,550
Sensing vulnerability,

321
00:23:57,574 --> 00:24:00,273
soon other players will begin
to apply downward pressure.

322
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:05,671
An exhortation from one of the galaxy's
major religions is a given.

323
00:24:05,695 --> 00:24:08,764
Or perhaps a homegrown insurrection
here on Trantor.

324
00:24:09,199 --> 00:24:14,847
If the fall can be accelerated,
can it not also be slowed?

325
00:24:14,871 --> 00:24:16,056
Now look at you, Brother.

326
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,560
So smugly self-assured
atop the middle throne.

327
00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:21,979
I used to practice that smile
in the mirror.

328
00:24:22,003 --> 00:24:24,148
Enough. I know how the scene ends.

329
00:24:24,172 --> 00:24:26,025
But have you embraced its lessons?

330
00:24:26,049 --> 00:24:29,111
Luminism.
The Sinker insurrection happening now.

331
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:31,679
Seldon all but drew you a to-do list.

332
00:24:32,931 --> 00:24:33,991
And you ignored him.

333
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,701
Because he was a charlatan.

334
00:24:35,725 --> 00:24:37,477
You offer nothing new.

335
00:24:38,019 --> 00:24:40,939
Just a younger grape...

336
00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:42,673
From the same vine,

337
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:46,045
destined for the same old bottle.

338
00:24:46,069 --> 00:24:48,214
You can't save yourselves...

339
00:24:48,405 --> 00:24:50,556
But you can save your legacy.

340
00:24:51,866 --> 00:24:53,910
Hari Seldon is long dead.

341
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,431
Murdered by his protégé, no less.

342
00:24:57,455 --> 00:25:00,083
The man was murdered.
But what about the movement, Brother?

343
00:25:02,335 --> 00:25:04,546
Martyrs tend to have a long half-life.

344
00:25:13,221 --> 00:25:15,400
Thanks to you, we are now staring down
the barrel

345
00:25:15,424 --> 00:25:17,201
of a genuine diplomatic crisis.

346
00:25:17,225 --> 00:25:19,245
What was I supposed to do, Lewis?

347
00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:21,122
Let Phara kill me
and then move on to the kids?

348
00:25:21,146 --> 00:25:22,832
You shouldn't have questioned her
without me.

349
00:25:22,856 --> 00:25:24,583
Be glad I did. We know who she is now.

350
00:25:24,607 --> 00:25:26,489
We have leverage.
We can bargain with her people.

351
00:25:26,522 --> 00:25:28,546
If this choice
inflames the city into violence,

352
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:30,506
you have achieved
elaborate suicide for us all.

353
00:25:30,530 --> 00:25:32,967
Didn't Hari say the Foundation
survives the first crisis?

354
00:25:32,991 --> 00:25:35,272
Yes, he did.
But, as I've told you before,

355
00:25:35,296 --> 00:25:36,846
you are an outlier.

356
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:38,055
- Meaning?
- Salvor.

357
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:39,723
Meaning that you weren't accounted for.

358
00:25:39,747 --> 00:25:41,267
You have a connection with the Vault

359
00:25:41,291 --> 00:25:43,602
which couldn't have possibly
have been predicted.

360
00:25:43,626 --> 00:25:45,146
You are not baked into the model.

361
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:46,689
You're saying I'm
not part of God's plan.

362
00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:49,024
I am saying psychohistory
can't account for individuals.

363
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,609
So you're saying
I've destroyed God's plan?

364
00:25:50,633 --> 00:25:53,028
- It's time to take a step back, Salvor.
- Step back?

365
00:25:53,052 --> 00:25:55,072
I thought the whole damn point
of the Foundation

366
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:57,533
was preparing for the unthinkable.

367
00:25:57,557 --> 00:25:59,702
When I asked for more defensive weapons,

368
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:02,329
you said the likelihood of an attack
seemed remote.

369
00:26:02,353 --> 00:26:04,672
When I wanted to run more drills,
nothing.

370
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:06,834
So here we are now, not prepared.

371
00:26:06,858 --> 00:26:08,709
I might be an outlier,

372
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:11,428
but I'm not
the one screwing up the Plan, Lewis.

373
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:20,389
Lewis Pirenne, director.

374
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:21,965
Now, why would the Anacreon Council

375
00:26:21,989 --> 00:26:24,393
send its highest-ranking
military officer

376
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:26,270
to an imperial outpost?

377
00:26:26,294 --> 00:26:28,939
Is that what you're pretending
your little doomsday cult is?

378
00:26:28,963 --> 00:26:30,858
Because I don't see the Empire anywhere.

379
00:26:30,882 --> 00:26:34,388
All I see are academics, laborers
and very few guns.

380
00:26:34,424 --> 00:26:35,905
You took down the comms buoy.

381
00:26:35,929 --> 00:26:39,533
Of course. We wanted to operate
in private, away from prying eyes.

382
00:26:39,557 --> 00:26:40,862
You have to know the Empire

383
00:26:40,886 --> 00:26:42,644
will send
someone to investigate eventually.

384
00:26:43,478 --> 00:26:44,830
Or is that the point?

385
00:26:44,854 --> 00:26:46,749
Your women are so much sharper
than your men.

386
00:26:47,899 --> 00:26:51,670
The barbarian kingdoms are exiled.
You have no business here.

387
00:26:53,321 --> 00:26:54,572
"Barbarians."

388
00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:58,017
Just a convenient slur
for anyone not like you.

389
00:26:58,451 --> 00:27:02,098
Trantor left us all here to die.
Your people and mine.

390
00:27:02,122 --> 00:27:03,974
We're just dying at different speeds.

391
00:27:03,998 --> 00:27:05,393
The Foundation isn't dying.

392
00:27:05,417 --> 00:27:09,063
We are fulfilling the mission
Hari Seldon entrusted us with.

393
00:27:09,087 --> 00:27:11,453
Seldon also predicted that the fall
would begin

394
00:27:11,477 --> 00:27:12,906
at the edge of the galaxy.

395
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:15,361
- Here.
- The same science

396
00:27:15,385 --> 00:27:17,446
that saved the Imperial Palace
when the Star Bridge fell

397
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:18,739
protects Terminus City.

398
00:27:18,763 --> 00:27:20,241
You mean your energy barrier?

399
00:27:20,265 --> 00:27:21,325
Mmm.

400
00:27:21,349 --> 00:27:25,311
A weapon's only as good as
the man who's wielding it.

401
00:27:40,535 --> 00:27:41,846
Kalin, what's your situation?

402
00:27:41,870 --> 00:27:43,848
It's getting pretty crowded over here.

403
00:27:43,872 --> 00:27:46,183
- I think I need backup.
- Not happening.

404
00:27:46,207 --> 00:27:49,562
Salvor saw a dozen. You're telling me
we've got Anacreons all over?

405
00:27:49,586 --> 00:27:52,422
I'm telling you I'm seeing enough guns
to take out the whole town.

406
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,924
Empire.

407
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:00,555
The matter we discussed?

408
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:05,393
Her name is Azura Odili.
A palace botanist since the age of 13.

409
00:28:05,977 --> 00:28:09,439
Her father, deceased, was also
an agroecologist in the gardens.

410
00:28:09,981 --> 00:28:13,193
Her mother founded
a school for the ikebana, now closed.

411
00:28:14,652 --> 00:28:16,112
You said there was a problem?

412
00:28:17,781 --> 00:28:21,075
How are problems generally solved
in this situation?

413
00:28:21,826 --> 00:28:23,776
Any manner that achieves its goal.

414
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,331
My job is to eliminate problems, Empire.

415
00:28:38,968 --> 00:28:40,720
Azura Odili.

416
00:28:43,598 --> 00:28:45,659
Oh-dee-lee? Oh-dih-lee?

417
00:28:45,683 --> 00:28:46,827
Dee, Empire.

418
00:28:46,851 --> 00:28:48,770
You were outside my chambers earlier.

419
00:28:50,355 --> 00:28:53,042
- Want to know what you think you saw.
- I saw nothing, Empire.

420
00:28:53,066 --> 00:28:54,877
No. I believe you saw something.

421
00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:57,129
I only see what Empire wants me to see.

422
00:28:57,153 --> 00:28:59,513
I could have you removed
from your station,

423
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:02,718
sent to scrub the
heat sinks on level 80.

424
00:29:02,742 --> 00:29:06,055
I could do worse to you. Much worse.

425
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:07,348
You know all this.

426
00:29:07,372 --> 00:29:09,934
Empire, Brother Dusk
has asked me to summon you.

427
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:11,292
Tell him I'm coming.

428
00:29:13,253 --> 00:29:14,754
Remove this entire bed.

429
00:29:15,380 --> 00:29:17,153
From my chambers
the smell of the blossoms

430
00:29:17,177 --> 00:29:18,192
is overbearing.

431
00:29:18,216 --> 00:29:21,451
- Empire, you needn't bother with this...
- It's settled. You can go.

432
00:29:25,348 --> 00:29:26,850
Wolvesbreath helps with the pain.

433
00:29:27,684 --> 00:29:29,495
The brownish-green leaves
with the red stripe.

434
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:31,080
They reduce the swelling and bruising...

435
00:29:31,104 --> 00:29:33,565
I don't recall asking
for your medical advice.

436
00:29:35,442 --> 00:29:36,443
Which?

437
00:29:59,507 --> 00:30:00,633
The pointed leaves.

438
00:30:13,646 --> 00:30:14,647
What is it?

439
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:16,775
Lupi spiritus.

440
00:30:17,358 --> 00:30:20,921
Wolvesbreath, Empire.
From our medicinal garden.

441
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:23,799
It's an analgesic and vasodilator.

442
00:30:23,823 --> 00:30:24,967
Is it poisonous?

443
00:30:24,991 --> 00:30:29,305
No. Wolvesbreath is used in tea
as well as tinctures.

444
00:30:29,329 --> 00:30:32,683
It stimulates the blood vessels,
promotes healing...

445
00:30:32,707 --> 00:30:33,875
Eat it.

446
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:40,649
If you're not dead
within the next few hours,

447
00:30:40,673 --> 00:30:42,860
have a kilogram of these
sent to my quarters.

448
00:30:42,884 --> 00:30:44,094
Of course, Empire.

449
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,412
Laylo Fulham, get your ass back home
this instant!

450
00:30:53,436 --> 00:30:54,497
Are they gonna get through?

451
00:30:54,521 --> 00:30:55,605
Course not.

452
00:30:56,489 --> 00:30:58,699
Go back to your home, people. Please.

453
00:30:58,723 --> 00:31:02,010
It's not safe out here.
Back up. Back up.

454
00:31:03,488 --> 00:31:05,174
You need to come out here. Now.

455
00:31:05,198 --> 00:31:06,342
Kind of busy here, Yate.

456
00:31:06,366 --> 00:31:07,968
I know, and I'm still calling.

457
00:31:07,992 --> 00:31:11,222
We've got Anacreon's troops massing
from the east, west, south,

458
00:31:11,246 --> 00:31:12,997
and presumably the north.

459
00:31:14,541 --> 00:31:16,811
Remember how to hold a rifle, old man?

460
00:31:16,835 --> 00:31:18,110
Barrel goes forward?

461
00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:21,697
We've spotted Anacreons
at multiple locations outside the fence.

462
00:31:22,006 --> 00:31:23,949
- I'll go west.
- We'll head north.

463
00:31:24,259 --> 00:31:25,355
I shouldn't leave.

464
00:31:25,379 --> 00:31:26,695
Lewis is completely
overmatched in there.

465
00:31:26,719 --> 00:31:28,179
I'll babysit him, I promise.

466
00:31:29,055 --> 00:31:30,223
All right.

467
00:31:31,391 --> 00:31:34,245
Is it true? You got some kind of
Anacreon chieftain in there?

468
00:31:34,269 --> 00:31:35,579
You been drinking, Muller?

469
00:31:35,603 --> 00:31:38,833
It's the end of the galaxy, isn't it?
Hari's prediction's coming true.

470
00:31:38,857 --> 00:31:41,335
You got hold of a bad rumor, Muller.
Local poacher's all.

471
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:42,944
They're already here, aren't they?

472
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:46,281
Hey, why don't you just
take a break for a second.

473
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,921
Hey!

474
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:03,882
I won't hurt you.

475
00:32:07,569 --> 00:32:08,696
Just tell me who you are.

476
00:32:09,387 --> 00:32:10,555
Sal.

477
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:12,116
Sal.

478
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:14,702
Sal. Hey, hey. What's wrong?

479
00:32:14,726 --> 00:32:16,746
I was just in the Imperial Library
on Trantor.

480
00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:19,731
- What do you mean you were there?
- I mean I was there. In the stacks.

481
00:32:20,398 --> 00:32:22,585
The ceiling was wooden,
there were all these marble busts.

482
00:32:22,609 --> 00:32:24,194
And there was a boy with a knife.

483
00:32:25,820 --> 00:32:27,989
It was the same boy who
led me to the Anacreons.

484
00:32:29,324 --> 00:32:33,429
It's the Vault. I can feel it, Hugo.
It's trying to tell me something

485
00:32:33,453 --> 00:32:36,380
about the Anacreons and this crisis.
Everything.

486
00:32:36,404 --> 00:32:37,486
Okay, listen to me.

487
00:32:37,510 --> 00:32:40,650
I've always said you should
let this planet shrug you off.

488
00:32:41,503 --> 00:32:43,158
But watching you work,

489
00:32:43,182 --> 00:32:46,132
where you could
sense what Phara was feeling inside...

490
00:32:47,741 --> 00:32:48,742
That's special.

491
00:32:49,427 --> 00:32:51,155
Other people can't do that, Sal.

492
00:32:51,466 --> 00:32:53,093
I have absolute faith in you.

493
00:32:56,101 --> 00:32:58,895
I have absolute faith in you.

494
00:33:19,207 --> 00:33:21,960
Who among you
is Master Statistician Tivole?

495
00:33:25,964 --> 00:33:29,110
Empire. May the light never dim.

496
00:33:29,134 --> 00:33:30,736
May the light never dim.

497
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,531
- You received my query.
- I did, Empire.

498
00:33:33,555 --> 00:33:35,783
But I can't say yet we have the results.

499
00:33:35,807 --> 00:33:38,852
How long has it been
since Dusk set you to this task?

500
00:33:39,436 --> 00:33:40,621
Three decades?

501
00:33:40,645 --> 00:33:44,875
What do you do
in your mausoleum of calculus

502
00:33:44,899 --> 00:33:48,468
if not achieve results?

503
00:33:49,988 --> 00:33:53,849
Progress, then. What is your progress?

504
00:33:54,659 --> 00:33:56,503
We believe

505
00:33:56,527 --> 00:34:01,189
the... the predictive models
of Hari Seldon to be counterfactual.

506
00:34:03,501 --> 00:34:05,819
And you believe this why?

507
00:34:06,337 --> 00:34:11,318
In the 35 years since Seldon uttered
his heretical proclamations,

508
00:34:11,342 --> 00:34:13,520
the Imperium has expanded,

509
00:34:13,544 --> 00:34:15,823
rather than
contracted, by every critical metric...

510
00:34:15,847 --> 00:34:16,847
Stop.

511
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:19,535
Seldon's prophecies.

512
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:24,248
Speak to me of his math,
this "ordinal analysis."

513
00:34:24,272 --> 00:34:27,001
It's a spread of fortune teller's cards

514
00:34:27,025 --> 00:34:31,136
which Seldon chose
to interpret as divination.

515
00:34:31,321 --> 00:34:32,382
Uh-huh.

516
00:34:32,407 --> 00:34:36,470
The verification he found
in the regression models is unsupported.

517
00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:40,556
But what of these...
these recent events?

518
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:41,932
The conclave? Luminism?

519
00:34:41,956 --> 00:34:46,896
Baseless conjecture.
Again, vague and unsupported.

520
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,114
I mean, anyone could predict
a return to orthodoxy.

521
00:34:51,508 --> 00:34:56,196
Psychohistory is the fanciful work
of an old man's imagination.

522
00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:58,908
If it weren't the fanciful work
of an old man's imagination, what then?

523
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:01,503
What is the likelihood
that it's all true?

524
00:35:01,527 --> 00:35:02,894
Every prophecy?

525
00:35:03,728 --> 00:35:05,956
Vanishingly small, Empire.

526
00:35:05,980 --> 00:35:07,315
But not zero.

527
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:10,902
Correct?

528
00:35:11,861 --> 00:35:13,905
Not zero?

529
00:35:14,656 --> 00:35:17,885
What kind of idiots are you?

530
00:35:17,909 --> 00:35:21,138
A thousand imperial mathematicians...

531
00:35:21,162 --> 00:35:24,100
...can't parse the numbers of one man?

532
00:35:24,124 --> 00:35:28,735
So there's nothing
anyone in the galaxy can do?

533
00:35:31,132 --> 00:35:35,116
Is that what it is?
Is that the best you've got?

534
00:35:36,678 --> 00:35:39,829
Tell me. Tell me!

535
00:35:41,641 --> 00:35:44,394
Tell me!

536
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,633
In the twilight of a man's life...

537
00:35:57,657 --> 00:36:00,326
...When his biography is nearly complete,

538
00:36:00,952 --> 00:36:03,496
he grows desperate to know
the measure of his days...

539
00:36:05,457 --> 00:36:09,085
How his voice compares to
the chorus of those who've come before.

540
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:16,116
Do I matter? Are my choices my own?

541
00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:20,513
Or is my destiny governed by
an unseen hand?

542
00:36:32,567 --> 00:36:34,712
Brother Day. Come to see us off?

543
00:36:34,736 --> 00:36:37,590
I was paid a visit
by your statisticians.

544
00:36:37,614 --> 00:36:40,593
It's remarkable
how self-reinforcing their results are.

545
00:36:40,617 --> 00:36:45,478
I think it's best that you stay
and tend to matters on Trantor.

546
00:36:45,872 --> 00:36:49,518
Empire, a primary Cleon has not left
the bosom of Trantor

547
00:36:49,542 --> 00:36:51,729
since the dawn of the Genetic Dynasty.

548
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:52,986
Demerzel is right.

549
00:36:53,630 --> 00:36:56,484
We have these protocols in place
for a reason.

550
00:36:56,508 --> 00:37:03,098
And I say our protocols have
made us complacent.

551
00:37:03,807 --> 00:37:05,951
When you sat on the middle throne,
as I do now,

552
00:37:05,975 --> 00:37:08,454
and were debating what to do about
Anacreon and Thespis,

553
00:37:08,478 --> 00:37:11,921
what our response should be,
do you remember what you said?

554
00:37:13,149 --> 00:37:14,150
I do.

555
00:37:15,235 --> 00:37:16,611
Like it was yesterday.

556
00:37:17,195 --> 00:37:18,506
I was seven.

557
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:21,675
Our eldest brother had argued
for a bout of grace.

558
00:37:21,699 --> 00:37:24,851
You turned to me and said,
"What do you think, Ascending Dawn?"

559
00:37:25,745 --> 00:37:27,247
I knew you were against grace,

560
00:37:27,872 --> 00:37:30,851
that you wanted to bomb
the barbarian kingdoms.

561
00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:35,278
But I was scared. And I dared say so.

562
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,299
Well, I'm not scared anymore.

563
00:37:39,134 --> 00:37:40,538
On your watch,

564
00:37:40,562 --> 00:37:45,074
the Star Bridge fell. And from
that scar insurgency was birthed.

565
00:37:45,098 --> 00:37:47,576
On your watch,
two worlds were incinerated

566
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,204
with not a care to
innocence or consequence.

567
00:37:50,228 --> 00:37:53,922
On your watch, Hari Seldon
and his followers were allowed to flee.

568
00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:57,670
You have bequeathed me
an Empire rent by impulsive action.

569
00:37:57,694 --> 00:38:01,805
The same will not be said of me.
Not on my watch.

570
00:38:02,198 --> 00:38:04,677
I would save our legacy.

571
00:38:04,701 --> 00:38:05,702
Brother...

572
00:38:07,036 --> 00:38:11,350
You are haunted by
the ghost of a man long dead.

573
00:38:11,374 --> 00:38:13,817
We all are, Brother.

574
00:38:18,256 --> 00:38:20,008
Your watch is over.

575
00:38:21,468 --> 00:38:23,100
You will stay on Trantor,

576
00:38:23,124 --> 00:38:25,865
tending to
the wounds you have allowed to fester.

577
00:38:25,889 --> 00:38:28,057
Go.

578
00:38:28,975 --> 00:38:31,436
Return Brother Dusk's belongings
to the palace.

579
00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:46,766
Certainly now the Empire will
no longer be rent by impulsive action.

580
00:39:18,775 --> 00:39:19,960
You summoned me, Empire?

581
00:39:19,984 --> 00:39:22,886
A communications buoy has gone dark
in the Outer Reach.

582
00:39:24,030 --> 00:39:25,722
Take your team and investigate.

583
00:39:26,324 --> 00:39:27,682
At once, Empire.

584
00:39:28,034 --> 00:39:29,035
Dorwin.

585
00:39:29,953 --> 00:39:32,681
Our dispatches from the Foundation
have become sporadic.

586
00:39:32,705 --> 00:39:33,849
Pay them a visit.

587
00:39:33,873 --> 00:39:37,752
And remind the Foundation that
Empire will not be kept in the dark.

588
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:44,211
- Is that, uh...
- Doesn't look good, does it?

589
00:41:03,046 --> 00:41:05,388
Who is in charge here, Lewis? You?

590
00:41:05,412 --> 00:41:07,109
Or is it the Warden
with the coin tricks?

591
00:41:07,133 --> 00:41:09,528
Because it seems
she's managed to complicate matters.

592
00:41:09,552 --> 00:41:11,947
- Let me be clear, Huntress Keaen...
- Grand Huntress.

593
00:41:11,971 --> 00:41:13,574
The only reason we have a crisis

594
00:41:13,598 --> 00:41:17,119
is because you trespassed
on the Emperor's personal domain.

595
00:41:17,143 --> 00:41:20,414
If only Salvor had taken me to the tower
and given me what I'd wanted,

596
00:41:20,438 --> 00:41:22,124
we'd already be off-planet.

597
00:41:22,148 --> 00:41:23,709
The module from our slow ship?

598
00:41:23,733 --> 00:41:26,236
It's not as if
your people have any use for it.

599
00:41:26,736 --> 00:41:30,382
You're marooned on Terminus.
The Empire made sure of that.

600
00:41:30,406 --> 00:41:31,741
Lewis.

601
00:41:32,659 --> 00:41:33,808
Why do you need it?

602
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,430
My people are technologically bankrupt.

603
00:41:36,753 --> 00:41:38,380
We're dying, Director.

604
00:41:38,873 --> 00:41:42,436
We have been ever since the Empire
set our atmosphere on fire.

605
00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:46,357
Half our population lost
for a crime that we were innocent of.

606
00:41:46,381 --> 00:41:48,275
Unlike you, we have ships.

607
00:41:48,299 --> 00:41:51,946
We can leave our poisoned world,
find another star system.

608
00:41:51,970 --> 00:41:55,199
If only we had
the means to navigate the void.

609
00:41:55,223 --> 00:41:56,992
The Empire would crush us
for assisting you.

610
00:41:57,016 --> 00:41:59,000
We're forcing your hand, Director.

611
00:41:59,895 --> 00:42:01,772
Because we have nothing left to lose.

612
00:42:02,678 --> 00:42:03,832
You can't play chess

613
00:42:03,856 --> 00:42:05,890
with someone
who's willing to set the board on fire.

614
00:42:09,821 --> 00:42:11,924
Is that some kind of flak cannon?

615
00:42:11,948 --> 00:42:14,593
Wasting their time if they think
that's gonna penetrate the fence.

616
00:42:14,617 --> 00:42:18,139
None of this feels right.
Phara is smarter than this.

617
00:42:18,163 --> 00:42:20,641
They took out the comms buoy,
and they came in prepared.

618
00:42:20,665 --> 00:42:23,254
There's a larger strategy here,
and I am missing it somehow.

619
00:42:23,283 --> 00:42:25,557
What if I take my ship,
make a run for the stars, get help?

620
00:42:25,594 --> 00:42:27,667
No, no. They'd shoot you out of the sky

621
00:42:27,691 --> 00:42:29,364
before you ever made it into orbit.

622
00:42:30,175 --> 00:42:31,986
Regretting you didn't bug out
when you had the chance?

623
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:34,739
Done a lot of foolish things in my life,
Salvor Hardin.

624
00:42:34,763 --> 00:42:36,598
Sticking by your side
is not one of them.

625
00:42:37,932 --> 00:42:39,410
Best manservant ever.

626
00:42:50,653 --> 00:42:52,197
The Vault isn't Anacreon...

627
00:42:53,072 --> 00:42:54,175
Or alien at all.

628
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:55,718
It's gotta be connected to Hari.

629
00:42:55,742 --> 00:42:56,802
How do you know that?

630
00:42:56,826 --> 00:42:58,703
Because the vision I saw
when I blacked out,

631
00:42:59,329 --> 00:43:02,070
it was on Trantor in Hari's library,

632
00:43:02,094 --> 00:43:03,958
with a boy holding a knife on me.

633
00:43:04,751 --> 00:43:06,419
What if it was a warning to stay away?

634
00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:09,231
What if Lewis is right?

635
00:43:09,255 --> 00:43:10,954
I'm an outlier, just like he says,

636
00:43:10,978 --> 00:43:12,443
barging around, knocking things over,

637
00:43:12,467 --> 00:43:13,819
screwing up Seldon's plan?

638
00:43:13,843 --> 00:43:16,346
Salvor, what if you are Seldon's plan?

639
00:43:18,598 --> 00:43:22,369
The fate of one individual
will always remain a mystery.

640
00:43:22,393 --> 00:43:26,832
Remember my promise, Warden?
Razing your city to the ground?

641
00:43:26,856 --> 00:43:28,876
But the movements of masses,

642
00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:32,445
the rise and falls of cultures,
causes and worlds...

643
00:43:33,279 --> 00:43:36,449
These were answers
Hari Seldon had long since unriddled.

644
00:43:37,117 --> 00:43:38,469
It's time.

645
00:43:38,493 --> 00:43:42,348
And the beginning of the end,
as befitting its name,

646
00:43:42,372 --> 00:43:44,397
took place on Terminus.

647
00:44:03,897 --> 00:44:09,897
