1
00:00:08,367 --> 00:00:10,128
And you're sure it'll work?

2
00:00:10,129 --> 00:00:12,167
We've made the schematics
available for peer review

3
00:00:12,192 --> 00:00:14,027
by top industry technicians.

4
00:00:14,061 --> 00:00:15,699
Everything checks out.

5
00:00:15,852 --> 00:00:18,321
You didn't tell them
what it would be used for.

6
00:00:18,354 --> 00:00:20,223
Give me a little credit, Makkal.

7
00:00:20,255 --> 00:00:22,555
Honestly, I don't see
that it matters at this point

8
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:24,394
whether it's classified or not.

9
00:00:24,711 --> 00:00:27,810
You mean, we're going
to send the message?

10
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:30,700
The way I see it,
this breakthrough represents

11
00:00:30,733 --> 00:00:33,001
an evolutionary tipping point.

12
00:00:33,523 --> 00:00:35,404
We can either go forward or backward.

13
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:38,150
Prefect, wouldn't further
discussion be appropriate...

14
00:00:38,175 --> 00:00:39,817
What is there to discuss?

15
00:00:39,894 --> 00:00:42,712
It's a simple do we or don't we.

16
00:00:45,968 --> 00:00:47,544
I say we do.

17
00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:50,740
Okay.

18
00:00:51,594 --> 00:00:52,888
How's tomorrow?

19
00:00:53,074 --> 00:00:56,191
We're right on the cusp,
but we should be safe.

20
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:59,026
Are you gonna go public?

21
00:00:59,151 --> 00:01:01,028
If we find something.

22
00:01:10,831 --> 00:01:12,281
Alignment complete.

23
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:14,131
Transmitters at full power.

24
00:01:14,396 --> 00:01:16,565
Now all we need is something to say.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,109
Let's keep it simple.

26
00:01:28,056 --> 00:01:29,966
"Is anyone out there?"

27
00:03:01,684 --> 00:03:04,445
So I know what I read
in the official report,

28
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:05,822
but I wanted to hear your version.

29
00:03:05,854 --> 00:03:08,724
It says you punched
your last captain in the face?

30
00:03:08,844 --> 00:03:10,739
- I did, sir.
- Knocked him out.

31
00:03:10,764 --> 00:03:11,995
Out cold, yeah.

32
00:03:12,577 --> 00:03:13,655
Okay.

33
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:15,924
We had just had the crap kicked
out of us by the Krill.

34
00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:18,390
We were losing all power,
including life support.

35
00:03:18,509 --> 00:03:20,277
We sent out a distress call,

36
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:22,757
and the only ship in range
was a Janisi cruiser.

37
00:03:22,831 --> 00:03:24,840
Janisi. Why does that sound familiar?

38
00:03:24,873 --> 00:03:27,599
They're a fiercely matriarchal
species from the Izar system.

39
00:03:27,664 --> 00:03:29,594
Totally dismissive of any and all males

40
00:03:29,619 --> 00:03:30,992
who appear to be dominant.

41
00:03:31,108 --> 00:03:32,688
We didn't know the ship was Janisi

42
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:35,018
until the commanding officer
popped up on the screen.

43
00:03:35,123 --> 00:03:37,576
We needed their help, so I acted fast.

44
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:40,015
Punched him right
into next week, broke his nose.

45
00:03:40,211 --> 00:03:42,090
They helped us repair
our entire power grid.

46
00:03:42,271 --> 00:03:45,561
Well, quick thinking
in a crisis is commendable.

47
00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:47,697
- That's my job.
- You'll...

48
00:03:47,729 --> 00:03:49,598
give me a heads-up
if you're gonna hit me, yeah?

49
00:03:49,632 --> 00:03:51,282
I can't promise that, sir.

50
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,492
Okay. I think we've covered
everything here, yeah?

51
00:03:54,517 --> 00:03:56,907
- Yeah, I think so.
- Welcome aboard, Lieutenant.

52
00:03:56,932 --> 00:03:59,243
- You can take your station.
- Thank you, sir.

53
00:04:01,972 --> 00:04:03,921
Listen, um,

54
00:04:04,068 --> 00:04:06,783
I know you guys were close with
your last chief of security,

55
00:04:06,815 --> 00:04:10,553
and I know my reputation
is a bit rough around the edges,

56
00:04:10,776 --> 00:04:13,288
but I can promise you both
that if anyone comes at you

57
00:04:13,322 --> 00:04:16,391
or tries to take you down,
I'm gonna mess 'em up first.

58
00:04:16,953 --> 00:04:18,495
Well, that's good to know.

59
00:04:23,949 --> 00:04:27,086
- What do you think?
- I like her.

60
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,503
- Yeah, I don't know.
- Hey.

61
00:04:29,577 --> 00:04:32,107
You're the one who begged
the admiral for another Xelayan.

62
00:04:32,141 --> 00:04:34,077
If you need me,
I'm gonna be on the bridge.

63
00:04:34,344 --> 00:04:36,155
Okay, don't get punched.

64
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:53,092
- Ask him.
- No, I'll ask him later.

65
00:04:53,117 --> 00:04:54,834
- He's right there, just do it.
- It's stupid.

66
00:04:54,859 --> 00:04:57,207
- It is not stupid, just ask him.
- No, it's fine.

67
00:04:57,232 --> 00:04:59,742
You're his commanding officer,
you've ordered him into battle.

68
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:01,270
I think you can ask him this.

69
00:05:08,055 --> 00:05:10,517
Bortus, I had a fun idea

70
00:05:10,542 --> 00:05:12,815
- I wanted to run by you.
- What?

71
00:05:13,481 --> 00:05:16,204
Well, since my birthday's on Tuesday,

72
00:05:16,229 --> 00:05:18,962
and since our birthdays
are six days apart,

73
00:05:19,107 --> 00:05:21,977
I thought it might be fun
to do, like, a joint party.

74
00:05:22,791 --> 00:05:24,016
Why?

75
00:05:24,429 --> 00:05:26,330
Well, you know, that way, we can

76
00:05:26,355 --> 00:05:27,879
do it up a little bigger than usual,

77
00:05:27,904 --> 00:05:29,231
invite more of the crew.

78
00:05:29,337 --> 00:05:30,800
Is this an order?

79
00:05:31,201 --> 00:05:32,743
No, it's just a thought.

80
00:05:32,819 --> 00:05:37,091
Ah. Then I do not wish
to have a joint party.

81
00:05:37,173 --> 00:05:40,877
-Why not?
- I prefer my birthday to be my day.

82
00:05:40,909 --> 00:05:42,878
He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff.

83
00:05:43,144 --> 00:05:44,542
I am not afraid.

84
00:05:44,588 --> 00:05:46,310
And he's right. Joint birthday?

85
00:05:46,337 --> 00:05:48,372
Less stuff for everybody.
It's a trap, Bortus.

86
00:05:48,452 --> 00:05:50,182
Captain, I'm picking up a transmission

87
00:05:50,215 --> 00:05:52,295
from somewhere
in the Gamma Velorum system.

88
00:05:52,488 --> 00:05:53,821
That's a long way out.

89
00:05:53,874 --> 00:05:55,992
It looks like old-style microwaves.

90
00:05:56,205 --> 00:05:58,161
- From a ship?
- No.

91
00:05:58,447 --> 00:05:59,796
It's a planet.

92
00:05:59,877 --> 00:06:01,997
Confirmed. There are seven planets

93
00:06:02,031 --> 00:06:04,067
in the Gamma Velorum star system.

94
00:06:04,599 --> 00:06:06,949
- Oh, my God.
- What?

95
00:06:07,062 --> 00:06:10,407
It says, "Is anyone out there?"

96
00:06:12,615 --> 00:06:15,425
Bortus, check Union records
for any previous contact

97
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:16,751
with that star system.

98
00:06:17,758 --> 00:06:18,991
Negative, sir.

99
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:20,779
Oh, baby! This is it!

100
00:06:20,833 --> 00:06:22,312
This is what we signed up for!

101
00:06:22,337 --> 00:06:23,983
Talk about a birthday gift.

102
00:06:24,197 --> 00:06:26,040
All hands, this is the captain.

103
00:06:26,107 --> 00:06:29,244
Begin prepping all stations
for first contact.

104
00:06:39,655 --> 00:06:42,021
Gordon, set a course for Gamma Velorum,

105
00:06:42,046 --> 00:06:45,224
- and engage quantum drive.
- With pleasure, sir.

106
00:07:21,503 --> 00:07:23,118
What do we know about these people

107
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:24,890
from the initial communication?

108
00:07:25,003 --> 00:07:26,281
They're awaiting our arrival,

109
00:07:26,315 --> 00:07:28,117
and they've given us
landing coordinates.

110
00:07:28,362 --> 00:07:31,180
Other than that, nothing.
That's the fun part.

111
00:07:34,289 --> 00:07:37,729
We decided against
the joint birthday, correct?

112
00:08:33,873 --> 00:08:35,843
Okay, here we go.

113
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:50,437
You know, we could, uh,
make up fake names.

114
00:08:50,462 --> 00:08:52,834
- They wouldn't know.
- Why would we do that?

115
00:08:53,130 --> 00:08:54,306
I don't know,
I've always hated my name.

116
00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:55,642
I just figured this is
one of those times

117
00:08:55,666 --> 00:08:57,009
where you could pick your own name.

118
00:08:57,046 --> 00:08:58,362
That's true, you could.

119
00:08:58,387 --> 00:09:00,622
You know, like, I could be Chad,
you could be Maxine.

120
00:09:00,804 --> 00:09:02,294
- Should we do it?
- Yeah, let's do it.

121
00:09:02,319 --> 00:09:03,473
- Mix it up?
- Right? Why not?

122
00:09:03,507 --> 00:09:05,320
- Let's do it.
- Nah, I feel like they'd know.

123
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:08,562
First Prefect, I'm Captain
Ed Mercer of the USS Orville.

124
00:09:08,688 --> 00:09:11,219
This is my first officer and crew.

125
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,568
On behalf of the people of
our world, welcome to Regor 2.

126
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,494
On behalf of the Planetary
Union, welcome to the galaxy.

127
00:09:34,238 --> 00:09:36,980
When a planet reaches out
into space as you have,

128
00:09:37,073 --> 00:09:39,676
whether by ship
or by transmitted message,

129
00:09:39,843 --> 00:09:42,665
that's when we permit ourselves
to make our presence known.

130
00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:45,593
You asked if there was
anyone out there.

131
00:09:45,729 --> 00:09:48,065
It's Union policy to answer.

132
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:51,891
How many different kinds
of people are there?

133
00:09:51,971 --> 00:09:53,844
More than you can possibly imagine.

134
00:09:53,903 --> 00:09:55,557
Not all of them friendly,

135
00:09:55,582 --> 00:09:57,451
which is another reason
it's very important to us

136
00:09:57,476 --> 00:09:58,956
to make first contact.

137
00:09:59,023 --> 00:10:01,826
We want to know everything there
is to know about your world.

138
00:10:02,365 --> 00:10:04,334
We want to show you.

139
00:10:20,897 --> 00:10:23,570
And this is how we sent the message.

140
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:27,257
It's the largest astronomical
array anywhere on the planet.

141
00:10:27,552 --> 00:10:29,877
25 independent satellites,

142
00:10:29,902 --> 00:10:31,562
and the entire array acts

143
00:10:31,594 --> 00:10:34,455
as a single antenna
with a variable diameter.

144
00:10:37,251 --> 00:10:38,382
Very nice.

145
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:41,936
We thought it would take
decades, maybe even centuries,

146
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:43,403
before anyone answered the message.

147
00:10:43,456 --> 00:10:46,611
But here you are,
only a few years later.

148
00:10:46,691 --> 00:10:48,821
Well, we're happy to prove you wrong.

149
00:10:51,645 --> 00:10:53,718
And this is our obstetrics ward.

150
00:10:53,928 --> 00:10:56,275
It's amazing to see, isn't it?

151
00:10:56,395 --> 00:10:59,500
I guess. It's kind of remedial,
though, yeah?

152
00:10:59,562 --> 00:11:02,199
- Completely.
- I mean, you have stuff in sickbay

153
00:11:02,224 --> 00:11:03,928
that would probably look
like magic to these guys.

154
00:11:03,953 --> 00:11:05,058
Yeah, but, see,

155
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:08,017
this is like getting a real-life
look at your own past.

156
00:11:08,098 --> 00:11:11,896
We're seeing a young society on
the verge of huge advancement.

157
00:11:11,983 --> 00:11:15,238
A science that's about
to happen. It's magnetic.

158
00:11:15,325 --> 00:11:17,294
Yeah, well, if I got
to have my appendix out,

159
00:11:17,326 --> 00:11:18,961
make sure you take me back to the ship.

160
00:11:19,026 --> 00:11:21,045
- You don't have an appendix.
- Thank God.

161
00:11:21,092 --> 00:11:22,499
And we've recently developed

162
00:11:22,532 --> 00:11:25,126
a cost-effective means
of magnetic resonance imaging

163
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,671
for regular monitoring of fetal growth.

164
00:11:27,792 --> 00:11:29,944
We're the first medical facility
in the world

165
00:11:29,969 --> 00:11:32,383
- to do it on this scale.
- You seem to have

166
00:11:32,408 --> 00:11:35,272
an unusually large number
of premature births.

167
00:11:35,378 --> 00:11:38,446
Yes, well, there are still some
things that we can't prevent.

168
00:11:38,471 --> 00:11:40,883
But the technology improves every year.

169
00:11:41,486 --> 00:11:43,152
- What technology?
- Dr. Feylar,

170
00:11:43,177 --> 00:11:45,383
we have an obstetric emergency in OR 3.

171
00:11:45,408 --> 00:11:46,613
Follow me.

172
00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,733
- Ten blade, please.
- Yes, Doctor.

173
00:11:54,029 --> 00:11:56,477
- There it is...
- Fundal pressure.

174
00:11:56,502 --> 00:11:58,715
- What's going on?
- It's a C-section.

175
00:11:58,775 --> 00:11:59,835
Stand by.

176
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:02,228
-Is the transport incubator ready?
-Yes, Doctor.

177
00:12:02,291 --> 00:12:03,962
Umbilical blood flow is positive.

178
00:12:03,987 --> 00:12:05,522
Pulsations regular.

179
00:12:11,692 --> 00:12:12,936
There we are.

180
00:12:12,994 --> 00:12:15,044
Tie off the umbilical.
Prepare to close the incision.

181
00:12:15,097 --> 00:12:17,819
Take her to the neonatal ICU.

182
00:12:21,155 --> 00:12:22,565
What is it, Doctor?

183
00:12:22,622 --> 00:12:25,417
Well, there are many reasons
to perform a C-section...

184
00:12:25,442 --> 00:12:27,390
a rupture in the placenta,

185
00:12:27,463 --> 00:12:28,809
prolapsed umbilical cord...

186
00:12:28,834 --> 00:12:31,270
but I'm not seeing anything
like that in the scan.

187
00:12:31,486 --> 00:12:33,121
The baby seems perfectly healthy,

188
00:12:33,146 --> 00:12:35,116
except for the fact
that it's premature.

189
00:12:35,238 --> 00:12:37,074
Maybe their biology is different.

190
00:12:37,106 --> 00:12:38,951
Something we can't detect.

191
00:12:39,311 --> 00:12:40,818
Dr. Feylar,

192
00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:44,302
may I ask the reason for the C-section?

193
00:12:44,615 --> 00:12:47,216
You're a doctor. You must know
it's to prevent the infant

194
00:12:47,249 --> 00:12:49,158
from being born Giliac.

195
00:12:49,585 --> 00:12:51,227
What's Giliac?

196
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,817
Oh, you probably have a different
name where you come from.

197
00:12:54,842 --> 00:12:56,726
Uh, Giliacs are prone to violence,

198
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,162
extreme destructive behavior.

199
00:12:59,248 --> 00:13:00,905
We try to prevent them at all costs,

200
00:13:00,930 --> 00:13:03,657
which usually means
an emergency C-section.

201
00:13:04,357 --> 00:13:06,691
Would you like to see
the research labs?

202
00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:09,012
- Very much.
- This way.

203
00:13:16,952 --> 00:13:20,617
A friend is a second self.

204
00:13:20,885 --> 00:13:22,389
And until today,

205
00:13:22,414 --> 00:13:25,804
the only friends we knew
were our fellow Regorians.

206
00:13:26,721 --> 00:13:31,627
But our world has grown
immeasurably overnight.

207
00:13:32,658 --> 00:13:35,145
For the first time
in the history of our species,

208
00:13:35,170 --> 00:13:39,275
we can count among our friends,
not just our countrymen,

209
00:13:39,421 --> 00:13:42,710
but the people who live
among the stars.

210
00:13:43,830 --> 00:13:45,510
We welcome you.

211
00:13:52,967 --> 00:13:56,338
In the vast emptiness of the universe,

212
00:13:56,552 --> 00:14:00,289
we have found a fullness
of cultural diversity.

213
00:14:00,721 --> 00:14:03,946
And when a first contact
unfolds like this,

214
00:14:04,206 --> 00:14:08,569
the cosmos becomes
a living, breathing organism.

215
00:14:08,731 --> 00:14:10,720
So that within that emptiness,

216
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,779
we become a way for the universe
to know itself.

217
00:14:15,571 --> 00:14:18,016
We are honored to know Regor 2.

218
00:14:22,204 --> 00:14:23,838
- Wow, that was pretty good.
- Yeah, thanks,

219
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:26,061
I plagiarized it from, like,
nine different things.

220
00:14:26,221 --> 00:14:29,718
Can you tell us more about your,
um, economic structure?

221
00:14:29,771 --> 00:14:33,401
I'm fascinated that there's
no form of currency exchange.

222
00:14:33,515 --> 00:14:35,325
Our currency is reputation.

223
00:14:35,436 --> 00:14:37,043
An individual's wealth is determined

224
00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:39,846
by their personal achievements,
not their monetary value.

225
00:14:39,929 --> 00:14:43,166
We decided a long time ago
that forcing people

226
00:14:43,191 --> 00:14:46,961
to toil relentlessly in
the pursuit of material wealth

227
00:14:46,986 --> 00:14:48,635
was an unnatural state

228
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:50,415
for our species to exist in.

229
00:14:50,535 --> 00:14:52,796
So, it really is a utopia.

230
00:14:53,050 --> 00:14:54,754
No societal burdens.

231
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,214
I mean, we still have, like,
in-laws and things like that,

232
00:14:57,239 --> 00:14:59,476
but we've come a long way.

233
00:14:59,629 --> 00:15:01,717
We believe that everyone deserves

234
00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:03,240
a fair chance at happiness.

235
00:15:03,406 --> 00:15:06,056
We all do better when we all do better.

236
00:15:08,238 --> 00:15:09,524
Lieutenant Keyali.

237
00:15:09,611 --> 00:15:10,726
I understand that

238
00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:15,211
your species boasts some...
impressive abilities.

239
00:15:15,305 --> 00:15:18,868
Could I request a demonstration,
or would that be rude?

240
00:15:19,097 --> 00:15:21,403
You want me to balance a ball
on my nose, is that it?

241
00:15:23,058 --> 00:15:24,874
Uh, okay. Um...

242
00:15:25,078 --> 00:15:27,210
Is this something
you're super attached to?

243
00:15:27,316 --> 00:15:29,456
Uh, no, not at all.

244
00:15:37,532 --> 00:15:40,988
Oh, my...

245
00:15:41,321 --> 00:15:43,227
goodness.

246
00:15:43,805 --> 00:15:46,900
You know, I got to tell you,
it's my birthday next week,

247
00:15:46,927 --> 00:15:48,656
and a first contact like this

248
00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:51,755
is the best gift I could've
possibly asked for.

249
00:15:52,473 --> 00:15:53,569
What?

250
00:15:53,649 --> 00:15:55,451
My birthday. It's next week.

251
00:15:55,536 --> 00:15:57,018
Bortus's, too.

252
00:15:58,173 --> 00:16:00,776
We are having separate celebrations.

253
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,380
- Prefect.
- Take them!

254
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:04,973
- What the hell?
- What is this?

255
00:16:04,998 --> 00:16:06,673
- On your feet. Let's go.
- What the hell is going on?

256
00:16:06,698 --> 00:16:08,705
- Get them out of here now!
- Prefect, what the hell are you doing?

257
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:10,600
- Move!
- Check the other three.

258
00:16:10,667 --> 00:16:12,830
- Move it.
- Send them to processing!

259
00:16:12,855 --> 00:16:14,524
-Move! -Prefect, what
is the meaning of this?

260
00:16:14,590 --> 00:16:18,280
You claim to be an advanced
people, and yet you bring them

261
00:16:18,367 --> 00:16:20,739
into our midst?
At a state dinner, no less!

262
00:16:20,819 --> 00:16:22,126
What have they done?!

263
00:16:22,151 --> 00:16:24,436
If we have offended you in
some way, you need to tell us.

264
00:16:24,461 --> 00:16:26,007
Watch the one with the ears.

265
00:16:26,032 --> 00:16:29,455
If she tries anything,
shoot the others.

266
00:16:44,486 --> 00:16:47,054
Are all first contacts like this?

267
00:16:47,223 --> 00:16:48,827
Claire, what do you make of it?

268
00:16:48,998 --> 00:16:51,588
Captain, I've noticed
something off about this planet

269
00:16:51,613 --> 00:16:53,181
ever since we arrived.

270
00:16:53,529 --> 00:16:55,489
That C-section that we witnessed,

271
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:58,050
it was completely unnecessary
and highly dangerous

272
00:16:58,114 --> 00:16:59,706
for both the infant and the mother.

273
00:17:00,022 --> 00:17:01,691
- Open cell.
- Yes, sir.

274
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:09,511
What have you done
with Kelly and Bortus?

275
00:17:09,658 --> 00:17:11,026
Open your mouth.

276
00:17:14,083 --> 00:17:15,921
- Talla.
- Put him down.

277
00:17:19,266 --> 00:17:21,066
Today's your lucky day.

278
00:17:27,989 --> 00:17:31,870
It's a small extraction.
It won't be painful.

279
00:18:01,201 --> 00:18:02,621
Next.

280
00:18:14,943 --> 00:18:17,697
They've been processed.
Birthdates verified.

281
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:22,285
One Panaji, one Corobahn, one Valeigh.

282
00:18:22,412 --> 00:18:24,114
No other Giliacs.

283
00:18:24,139 --> 00:18:26,942
I want to know what the hell is
happening here, and I want to know now.

284
00:18:27,128 --> 00:18:29,059
What have you done
with Kelly and Bortus?

285
00:18:29,285 --> 00:18:31,122
You've got a lot of nerve.

286
00:18:31,286 --> 00:18:34,355
Coming in here, making demands
after what you've done.

287
00:18:34,441 --> 00:18:37,170
What have we done? Aside from
offering you our friendship?

288
00:18:37,285 --> 00:18:39,135
Friendship?

289
00:18:39,561 --> 00:18:42,364
You brought two Giliacs
into the State Hall

290
00:18:42,411 --> 00:18:44,414
where they could have done who knows

291
00:18:44,439 --> 00:18:46,680
what kind of damage.
They could have killed someone.

292
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:50,881
Giliac. It's an astrological sign.

293
00:18:51,228 --> 00:18:52,845
- What?
- Captain,

294
00:18:52,922 --> 00:18:55,258
this planet is governed by astrology.

295
00:18:55,484 --> 00:18:56,795
What's astrology?

296
00:18:56,875 --> 00:18:59,212
It's an ancient belief system that...

297
00:18:59,861 --> 00:19:03,480
That's the reason for all
the premature C-sections.

298
00:19:04,346 --> 00:19:06,474
You arrested Kelly and Bortus

299
00:19:06,499 --> 00:19:08,494
because of their astrological signs?

300
00:19:08,734 --> 00:19:11,691
The stars don't lie, Captain.

301
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:15,105
Giliacs are violent, unpredictable.

302
00:19:15,432 --> 00:19:18,532
Surely you know that as well as
we do, as advanced as you are.

303
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:19,612
Where have you taken them?

304
00:19:19,637 --> 00:19:22,278
They'll be taken to the camps,
same as all Giliacs.

305
00:19:22,385 --> 00:19:23,513
And what about us?

306
00:19:23,592 --> 00:19:27,886
Well, the extractions
have confirmed your birthdates,

307
00:19:27,966 --> 00:19:32,547
so you can go back to your ship.
We don't want you here.

308
00:19:54,141 --> 00:19:55,610
Open the gate!

309
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,030
Let's go, let's go.

310
00:20:10,752 --> 00:20:13,028
Commander, what is this?

311
00:20:13,866 --> 00:20:15,398
A bad birthday.

312
00:20:15,956 --> 00:20:17,091
Move.

313
00:20:40,881 --> 00:20:42,351
Well.

314
00:20:43,824 --> 00:20:46,501
They told me to be prepared.

315
00:20:49,843 --> 00:20:51,900
Look at you.

316
00:20:52,366 --> 00:20:54,204
People from another world.

317
00:20:54,486 --> 00:20:56,299
Why have you brought us here?

318
00:20:56,346 --> 00:20:59,958
But still Giliac trash,
no matter where you're from.

319
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:02,683
And you'll learn to obey
the rules of this camp.

320
00:21:02,763 --> 00:21:05,209
Look, there's obviously been
some kind of mistake.

321
00:21:05,396 --> 00:21:07,216
If you could just tell us
what the hell a Giliac is,

322
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,070
maybe we can figure out
where the screwup happened.

323
00:21:09,095 --> 00:21:11,261
No mistake. The order comes straight

324
00:21:11,286 --> 00:21:12,936
from the office of the First Prefect.

325
00:21:13,035 --> 00:21:14,636
And how long do you intend
to keep us here?

326
00:21:15,006 --> 00:21:16,606
This is now your home.

327
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:18,368
I suggest you learn to like it.

328
00:21:18,394 --> 00:21:19,928
We are not your prisoners!

329
00:21:27,735 --> 00:21:30,038
I am an understanding man,

330
00:21:30,582 --> 00:21:33,789
but you won't want
to try anything like that again,

331
00:21:34,155 --> 00:21:36,024
unless you're tired of living.

332
00:21:42,369 --> 00:21:44,039
Take them to the barracks.

333
00:21:52,194 --> 00:21:54,400
Captain, I understand your frustration,

334
00:21:54,456 --> 00:21:57,540
but extraction by force in
the midst of a first contact...

335
00:21:57,587 --> 00:21:59,487
no matter what the circumstances...

336
00:21:59,647 --> 00:22:00,735
There's just no way in hell

337
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,638
the admiralty is gonna give
clearance for that.

338
00:22:02,713 --> 00:22:04,614
Admiral, these people are nuts.

339
00:22:04,681 --> 00:22:06,180
Okay, Bortus and Kelly are locked away

340
00:22:06,205 --> 00:22:07,388
in some internment camp

341
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:09,012
just because
they got the wrong birthday.

342
00:22:09,099 --> 00:22:11,063
The Regorians have even
developed the technology

343
00:22:11,088 --> 00:22:13,892
to calculate precise age
using tooth samples.

344
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:16,351
- Claire, tell him what you saw.
- Sir,

345
00:22:16,482 --> 00:22:19,409
these people are performing
dangerous C-sections

346
00:22:19,434 --> 00:22:21,191
just to ensure the babies are born

347
00:22:21,216 --> 00:22:24,097
under a positive astrological sign.

348
00:22:24,204 --> 00:22:26,711
They are literally
pulling infants from the womb

349
00:22:26,736 --> 00:22:28,620
weeks, even months early.

350
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:32,068
It's more complex than what
we see as right and wrong.

351
00:22:32,154 --> 00:22:34,243
We're on their turf, with their laws.

352
00:22:34,303 --> 00:22:35,943
Think about the trial on Moclus.

353
00:22:35,983 --> 00:22:37,473
What if you'd gone in and taken

354
00:22:37,505 --> 00:22:39,641
Commander Bortus's infant by force?

355
00:22:39,742 --> 00:22:41,690
Well, some people say we should have.

356
00:22:41,782 --> 00:22:44,986
Look, I want those two officers
back safely as much as you do,

357
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,713
but to go in guns blazing

358
00:22:46,738 --> 00:22:49,028
24 hours after meeting these people...

359
00:22:49,161 --> 00:22:50,703
We're not the Krill.

360
00:22:50,843 --> 00:22:52,769
You're gonna have
to find another way to do this.

361
00:22:52,867 --> 00:22:54,346
Perry out.

362
00:22:57,584 --> 00:22:59,113
Well, now what the hell do we do?

363
00:22:59,195 --> 00:23:03,166
I am unclear concerning
the astrological practice.

364
00:23:03,297 --> 00:23:05,050
What is the methodology?

365
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:08,737
It's the idea that personality
traits, behavioral tendencies,

366
00:23:08,771 --> 00:23:10,519
even future events can be determined

367
00:23:10,552 --> 00:23:13,842
by studying the movements
of celestial bodies.

368
00:23:13,943 --> 00:23:16,851
That would seem scientifically unsound.

369
00:23:16,977 --> 00:23:20,015
However, it would explain
the satellites in orbit.

370
00:23:20,049 --> 00:23:22,852
- What do you mean?
- They appear to be configured

371
00:23:22,885 --> 00:23:26,232
solely for astrometry... to
measure the positions of stars,

372
00:23:26,257 --> 00:23:28,984
but not their spectral type
or physical properties.

373
00:23:29,038 --> 00:23:32,126
And yet they're advanced enough
to send a message into space.

374
00:23:32,245 --> 00:23:33,665
I don't get it.

375
00:23:33,793 --> 00:23:35,798
I want to talk to the Prefect.

376
00:23:49,129 --> 00:23:50,449
Looks like we're gonna
wind up having that

377
00:23:50,475 --> 00:23:51,926
joint birthday after all.

378
00:23:52,113 --> 00:23:55,396
I would gladly share a birthday
celebration back on the ship.

379
00:23:55,509 --> 00:23:57,821
Wow. It only took getting arrested

380
00:23:57,846 --> 00:23:59,314
for you to change your mind.

381
00:24:01,424 --> 00:24:05,233
Well... at least people
aren't staring as much.

382
00:24:05,773 --> 00:24:07,085
Commander,

383
00:24:07,122 --> 00:24:10,162
do you think the Orville will be
allowed to extract us?

384
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,653
On a first contact? No way.

385
00:24:12,792 --> 00:24:15,564
If Ed can't negotiate his way
out of this, we're screwed.

386
00:24:16,887 --> 00:24:20,594
On Moclus, there are those
who believe in Da'klaya,

387
00:24:20,775 --> 00:24:23,613
that one's fate is determined
by the alignment of the stars

388
00:24:23,638 --> 00:24:25,080
on the day of his birth.

389
00:24:25,491 --> 00:24:26,915
I've been thinking the same thing.

390
00:24:27,313 --> 00:24:28,250
This whole thing went to hell

391
00:24:28,283 --> 00:24:30,085
when I told them it was my birthday.

392
00:24:30,374 --> 00:24:33,488
Some Da'klaya moons are
more desirable than others.

393
00:24:33,838 --> 00:24:36,792
This planet appears
to share such beliefs.

394
00:24:37,016 --> 00:24:39,607
"Born under a bad sign"
as official state policy.

395
00:24:39,675 --> 00:24:41,504
Please don't. Please.

396
00:24:41,529 --> 00:24:43,679
We're saving it in case
they cut the food rations again.

397
00:24:43,704 --> 00:24:45,862
- Give it to me now.
- Can't you see she's pregnant?

398
00:24:45,887 --> 00:24:48,355
- We need the extra food!
- I'm not talking to you.

399
00:24:48,403 --> 00:24:50,516
Please, please, I'm begging you,
we need the extra...

400
00:24:50,541 --> 00:24:51,728
- Shut up!
- Hey!

401
00:24:51,753 --> 00:24:53,621
Is there a problem here?

402
00:24:54,945 --> 00:24:56,279
You want to make one?

403
00:24:56,311 --> 00:24:57,457
Give her back the food.

404
00:24:57,482 --> 00:24:59,285
Get lost, girlie.

405
00:25:00,328 --> 00:25:01,974
Give it back.

406
00:25:15,864 --> 00:25:17,365
Go away.

407
00:25:22,041 --> 00:25:23,138
You okay?

408
00:25:23,171 --> 00:25:24,814
Yeah, thanks.

409
00:25:24,853 --> 00:25:26,141
Thank you so much.

410
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:29,486
He is a coward. He will not return.

411
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,369
I'm Ukania. This is my husband Rokal.

412
00:25:32,447 --> 00:25:34,509
I'm Kelly, and this is Bortus.

413
00:25:35,163 --> 00:25:37,320
You're the Giliacs from the stars.

414
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,042
Yeah. Listen, is there
anything you can tell us

415
00:25:40,067 --> 00:25:42,307
that might help us figure out
a way out of here?

416
00:25:42,721 --> 00:25:43,993
There is no way out.

417
00:25:44,091 --> 00:25:47,696
- Escape is always possible.
- No one's ever tried.

418
00:25:47,815 --> 00:25:50,302
Wait, you're telling us
no one's ever tried

419
00:25:50,327 --> 00:25:53,168
- to get out of this place?
- Why would they?

420
00:25:53,684 --> 00:25:55,481
Because it's a prison.

421
00:25:55,821 --> 00:25:58,373
But we belong here.

422
00:25:58,942 --> 00:26:00,537
- What?
- We were all born

423
00:26:00,562 --> 00:26:02,177
under the sign of Giliac.

424
00:26:02,492 --> 00:26:05,143
Our tendencies are inherently violent.

425
00:26:05,513 --> 00:26:07,015
Criminal.

426
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:09,124
We're here for the good of society.

427
00:26:09,290 --> 00:26:10,861
To protect them from us.

428
00:26:11,147 --> 00:26:13,617
You do not appear to be violent.

429
00:26:13,913 --> 00:26:17,059
Murderous instincts reside
within every Giliac.

430
00:26:17,517 --> 00:26:20,228
Either deeply buried or on the surface.

431
00:26:20,648 --> 00:26:22,684
The stars don't lie.

432
00:26:27,849 --> 00:26:31,943
On this day,
we enter the sign of the Giliac.

433
00:26:32,516 --> 00:26:35,417
As always, every effort
has been made to ensure

434
00:26:35,442 --> 00:26:40,048
that no births occur
during this dark time.

435
00:26:40,472 --> 00:26:42,284
But of course, we have yet

436
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,766
to devise a perfect system
of prevention.

437
00:26:45,993 --> 00:26:48,800
Any infants born
during the next 30 days

438
00:26:48,854 --> 00:26:52,127
are to be immediately turned
over to the state

439
00:26:52,217 --> 00:26:54,397
for transport to the camps.

440
00:26:54,610 --> 00:26:57,233
You may do so at the nearest
service center.

441
00:26:57,351 --> 00:27:01,571
Failure to comply will result
in severe prosecution.

442
00:27:01,855 --> 00:27:03,772
May our great nation prevail.

443
00:27:03,890 --> 00:27:06,502
- Good night.
- And we're out.

444
00:27:07,976 --> 00:27:10,480
Prefect, Captain Mercer has returned.

445
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:12,964
He requests an audience.

446
00:27:14,268 --> 00:27:15,737
Send him in.

447
00:27:22,864 --> 00:27:24,827
I thought I told you to leave.

448
00:27:25,070 --> 00:27:26,928
Look, Prefect, just hear me out.

449
00:27:27,210 --> 00:27:30,133
All right?
Now, first contacts can be...

450
00:27:30,158 --> 00:27:31,333
complex.

451
00:27:31,425 --> 00:27:34,270
And in this case,
that would be an understatement.

452
00:27:34,507 --> 00:27:36,364
But I'm sure we can come to some kind

453
00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:38,059
of agreement
for the release of our people.

454
00:27:38,472 --> 00:27:39,559
Out of the question.

455
00:27:39,660 --> 00:27:41,002
They've done nothing wrong.

456
00:27:41,302 --> 00:27:43,273
- They're Giliacs!
- So what?

457
00:27:43,318 --> 00:27:45,223
Why are you defending them?

458
00:27:45,313 --> 00:27:47,565
You live among the stars.

459
00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:50,164
You should understand their
significance better than anyone.

460
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:52,494
We actually have this crazy
system where we judge people

461
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:53,999
by their actions, not their birthdates.

462
00:27:54,234 --> 00:27:56,292
It's kinda wacky, I know.

463
00:27:56,584 --> 00:27:59,995
Look... you are an advanced society.

464
00:28:00,185 --> 00:28:01,745
Now, just stop and think about this:

465
00:28:01,819 --> 00:28:04,834
How can the relative position
of a ball of gas and dust

466
00:28:04,867 --> 00:28:08,803
thousands of light-years away
influence someone's personality?

467
00:28:09,202 --> 00:28:11,093
I mean, do you honestly
believe it yourself?

468
00:28:11,152 --> 00:28:14,623
We see living proof every single day.

469
00:28:14,790 --> 00:28:16,701
Yes, I do believe it.

470
00:28:16,770 --> 00:28:19,941
And even if I didn't,
if I released a Giliac,

471
00:28:20,081 --> 00:28:22,128
there would be a national uproar.

472
00:28:22,188 --> 00:28:23,892
People would tear down these walls!

473
00:28:23,917 --> 00:28:25,778
Your world is no longer
just this planet.

474
00:28:25,803 --> 00:28:28,045
When you sent that message,
you invited yourselves

475
00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:31,374
into a galaxy packed with
thousands of different cultures.

476
00:28:31,447 --> 00:28:33,649
You might want to start being
a little more open-minded.

477
00:28:33,781 --> 00:28:38,049
So you all just think
the universe is chaos?

478
00:28:38,123 --> 00:28:41,404
No order? No significance to anything?

479
00:28:41,817 --> 00:28:45,199
I wouldn't want to be part of
a community that believes that.

480
00:28:50,942 --> 00:28:53,729
We look for patterns
in the natural world around us.

481
00:28:53,754 --> 00:28:55,120
It's in our blood.

482
00:28:55,227 --> 00:28:57,057
We're desperate to find meaning.

483
00:28:57,124 --> 00:29:00,808
But sometimes a star is just a star.

484
00:29:01,845 --> 00:29:03,145
We shouldn't have reached out.

485
00:29:03,170 --> 00:29:05,105
It was a mistake.

486
00:29:05,427 --> 00:29:08,362
- Sir, if we could just...
- Enough!

487
00:29:11,011 --> 00:29:12,758
Go home, Captain.

488
00:29:13,671 --> 00:29:15,236
Forget about your people.

489
00:29:15,859 --> 00:29:17,873
And please...

490
00:29:18,352 --> 00:29:20,756
forget about Regor 2.

491
00:29:39,354 --> 00:29:41,614
Sir, if we could just have
a little more time.

492
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,431
Ed, you've been out there a month.

493
00:29:43,465 --> 00:29:45,269
I understand what
you must be going through,

494
00:29:45,294 --> 00:29:47,776
but there's a lot of internal
pressure to get the Orville

495
00:29:47,836 --> 00:29:49,305
back on active duty.

496
00:29:49,434 --> 00:29:50,973
You can't wait in orbit forever.

497
00:29:51,005 --> 00:29:53,408
And... not to be unfeeling,

498
00:29:53,678 --> 00:29:55,680
but we don't even know
whether they're still alive.

499
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:57,263
Look, just one more week. Please.

500
00:29:57,288 --> 00:29:59,154
We're gonna send a diplomatic envoy

501
00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:01,922
to continue trying to secure
the release of those officers.

502
00:30:01,982 --> 00:30:03,151
We won't give up.

503
00:30:03,277 --> 00:30:05,064
But it's time for the Orville to go.

504
00:30:05,152 --> 00:30:06,497
I'm sorry, Ed.

505
00:30:06,646 --> 00:30:08,447
You're to leave orbit within 24 hours.

506
00:30:09,135 --> 00:30:10,804
Perry out.

507
00:30:12,467 --> 00:30:14,912
-You can't just leave her down there.
-It's not up to me.

508
00:30:14,959 --> 00:30:16,264
Our weapons are hundreds of years

509
00:30:16,298 --> 00:30:17,416
more advanced than theirs.
Why can't we just...

510
00:30:17,441 --> 00:30:19,611
That's exactly why we can't.

511
00:30:20,377 --> 00:30:22,198
We're gonna have to find another way.

512
00:30:22,890 --> 00:30:25,582
Okay, is there anything
we've missed? Anything at all?

513
00:30:25,622 --> 00:30:28,100
Captain, we've been through
every piece of info we can find

514
00:30:28,125 --> 00:30:29,427
about their astrological system.

515
00:30:29,452 --> 00:30:30,687
We've hacked into their libraries,

516
00:30:30,712 --> 00:30:33,249
their news media, everything,
multiple times.

517
00:30:33,274 --> 00:30:34,695
We are looking for the equivalent

518
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,290
of a legal loophole
that just isn't there.

519
00:30:36,316 --> 00:30:38,458
Everything we dig up
says the same thing:

520
00:30:38,483 --> 00:30:40,239
Giliacs are born criminals.

521
00:30:40,264 --> 00:30:41,876
They're violent, murderous.

522
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:44,976
But why? I mean, is there
some kind of inciting incident?

523
00:30:45,069 --> 00:30:46,962
We have found no explanation.

524
00:30:47,551 --> 00:30:50,502
We have 24 hours. Keep digging.

525
00:31:12,774 --> 00:31:16,524
On this day, we enter
the sign of the Wasanda.

526
00:31:17,061 --> 00:31:21,122
To the children born this month,
we honor you.

527
00:31:21,242 --> 00:31:23,828
We herald your entry into this world,

528
00:31:23,927 --> 00:31:26,601
for you are the guiding forces,

529
00:31:26,702 --> 00:31:29,672
the future leaders
of this great planet.

530
00:31:30,035 --> 00:31:33,616
Your paths will be bathed in glory,

531
00:31:33,708 --> 00:31:38,746
and you will be richly rewarded
for your contributions.

532
00:31:38,878 --> 00:31:40,255
Welcome.

533
00:31:51,971 --> 00:31:53,253
It's okay, Ukania. It's okay, breathe.

534
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:55,363
- I already did.
- Breathe. Breathe.

535
00:31:55,397 --> 00:31:58,399
It's okay, Ukania, it's okay.

536
00:32:02,806 --> 00:32:04,372
What is happening?

537
00:32:05,272 --> 00:32:06,495
The baby's coming.

538
00:32:06,535 --> 00:32:09,259
She's been in labor
for the past two hours.

539
00:32:09,331 --> 00:32:10,955
Bortus, go to the infirmary
and get the doctor.

540
00:32:10,980 --> 00:32:12,178
No!

541
00:32:12,246 --> 00:32:13,458
But we need the proper equipment for...

542
00:32:13,490 --> 00:32:16,140
No. Please, no doctor.

543
00:32:16,251 --> 00:32:17,460
Can you help us?

544
00:32:17,485 --> 00:32:18,886
I don't know anything about this.

545
00:32:19,087 --> 00:32:21,924
Bortus, you have a kid.
Any suggestions?

546
00:32:22,777 --> 00:32:24,308
Will there be an egg?

547
00:32:24,428 --> 00:32:25,960
Okay, that's a no.

548
00:32:25,994 --> 00:32:28,062
Okay, uh, um...

549
00:32:28,460 --> 00:32:30,168
Ukania, look at me, okay?

550
00:32:30,193 --> 00:32:31,810
Look at me. All right?

551
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:33,101
On three, we're gonna push.

552
00:32:33,135 --> 00:32:34,302
One,

553
00:32:34,336 --> 00:32:35,949
- two, three.
- P-Push.

554
00:32:35,974 --> 00:32:37,035
Push!

555
00:32:37,060 --> 00:32:39,073
Yes!

556
00:32:39,675 --> 00:32:41,378
Yeah, that's great, that's great.

557
00:32:41,403 --> 00:32:44,134
You're doing great. Bortus,
get me cloths, towels, anything.

558
00:32:44,159 --> 00:32:45,861
- Aye, Commander.
- And a shoelace, or something

559
00:32:45,886 --> 00:32:47,201
to tie off the umbilical cord.

560
00:32:47,301 --> 00:32:48,667
All right, you're doing great.

561
00:32:48,692 --> 00:32:49,619
Okay?

562
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,175
- Just look at me. One, two...
- No.

563
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,165
Yes. One, two,

564
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:55,957
three, push!

565
00:32:55,991 --> 00:32:58,980
Yes!

566
00:32:59,087 --> 00:33:01,515
That's great. That's great.
That's the best one yet.

567
00:33:01,540 --> 00:33:03,792
All right.
We need to do it again, okay?

568
00:33:03,817 --> 00:33:04,938
- We need to do it again. Yes.
- No.

569
00:33:04,963 --> 00:33:07,986
- Yes. One, two...
- Okay, okay.

570
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,380
...three, push!

571
00:33:11,041 --> 00:33:12,709
Yes...!

572
00:33:12,734 --> 00:33:13,813
That's great!

573
00:33:13,852 --> 00:33:15,841
Oh, my God, I see the head. Bortus!

574
00:33:15,866 --> 00:33:18,463
- Here, Commander.
- Push. Push.

575
00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:22,199
I need you to give me
one big last hard push, okay?

576
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,916
- Okay.
- That's all we need, all right?

577
00:33:24,022 --> 00:33:27,138
We can do this. One, two,

578
00:33:27,198 --> 00:33:28,940
three, push!

579
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:32,210
Ah...!

580
00:33:34,566 --> 00:33:36,258
Oh, my God.

581
00:33:36,961 --> 00:33:39,030
Ukania, Rokal...

582
00:33:40,898 --> 00:33:42,585
...meet your daughter.

583
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:49,447
Thank you. Thank you.

584
00:33:51,890 --> 00:33:54,333
It is much easier with an egg.

585
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:03,120
12 hours.

586
00:34:03,202 --> 00:34:04,733
Anything new?

587
00:34:07,046 --> 00:34:08,381
Captain.

588
00:34:08,486 --> 00:34:10,630
- I have an idea.
- What is it?

589
00:34:10,737 --> 00:34:13,907
Isaac, put the constellation
Giliac on the viewer.

590
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:20,069
Can we focus a
multispectral scanning beam

591
00:34:20,094 --> 00:34:21,579
on that entire region of space?

592
00:34:21,777 --> 00:34:24,338
That's a massive scan.
It'd be a hell of a power drain

593
00:34:24,363 --> 00:34:26,825
unless we knew what we were
looking for... it'd take weeks.

594
00:34:26,917 --> 00:34:28,352
What are you looking for?

595
00:34:28,962 --> 00:34:30,448
Black holes.

596
00:34:30,542 --> 00:34:32,362
Well, that narrows the spectral field.

597
00:34:32,395 --> 00:34:33,839
Isaac, have a look.

598
00:34:42,456 --> 00:34:43,756
I'll be damned.

599
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:46,262
Can you tell me exactly
when the star collapsed?

600
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:50,616
3,122 years ago.

601
00:34:50,748 --> 00:34:53,326
According to Regor 2's history,
that's right around the time

602
00:34:53,351 --> 00:34:55,037
their astrological system emerged.

603
00:34:55,090 --> 00:34:57,130
The disappearance
of a star in the night sky

604
00:34:57,155 --> 00:35:00,137
to a civilization that young
would've been a terrifying omen.

605
00:35:00,191 --> 00:35:01,492
Exactly.

606
00:35:01,584 --> 00:35:03,555
And Giliac was the unlucky sign.

607
00:35:03,621 --> 00:35:05,465
Talla, I'm gonna buy you
a bottle of Scotch.

608
00:35:05,523 --> 00:35:09,026
All right, now the question is,
what can we do with this?

609
00:35:09,118 --> 00:35:12,991
If the star came back, that
might exonerate the Giliacs.

610
00:35:13,158 --> 00:35:15,840
Well, how the hell are we
supposed to create a star?

611
00:35:16,006 --> 00:35:17,720
Maybe we don't have to.

612
00:35:24,115 --> 00:35:26,802
We tried so hard
to make the timing work.

613
00:35:27,835 --> 00:35:29,963
She should have been born a Giliac.

614
00:35:30,381 --> 00:35:31,823
Ukania...

615
00:35:32,042 --> 00:35:34,412
how long do you expect
to keep her hidden?

616
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,547
Forever.

617
00:35:36,613 --> 00:35:38,319
What will happen if she is found?

618
00:35:38,415 --> 00:35:39,951
She'll be taken away.

619
00:35:40,265 --> 00:35:41,777
She's a Wasanda.

620
00:35:41,928 --> 00:35:44,909
Born to lead,
not rot away in the camps.

621
00:35:46,650 --> 00:35:48,634
We should let them take her.

622
00:35:50,167 --> 00:35:51,327
What?

623
00:35:51,352 --> 00:35:54,003
She could grow up in prosperity,
have every opportunity,

624
00:35:54,028 --> 00:35:56,464
- every need provided for...
- No, she needs her mother.

625
00:35:56,527 --> 00:35:58,316
We'll never be able
to keep her a secret.

626
00:35:58,341 --> 00:35:59,789
We're not giving her up.

627
00:36:01,505 --> 00:36:03,173
Move back.

628
00:36:03,233 --> 00:36:04,735
- What you looking at?
- Clear.

629
00:36:04,843 --> 00:36:06,412
Inspection!

630
00:36:06,611 --> 00:36:08,513
Everyone on your feet.

631
00:36:11,662 --> 00:36:12,964
Check 'em all.

632
00:36:28,593 --> 00:36:30,228
You know...

633
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:31,722
you have my pity.

634
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:34,887
Your wife has mine.

635
00:36:36,437 --> 00:36:39,587
It's not your fault
you're Giliac trash.

636
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,944
But self-truth is always cleansing.

637
00:36:42,304 --> 00:36:44,983
- Say it.
- Say what?

638
00:36:45,090 --> 00:36:47,132
"I'm Giliac trash."

639
00:36:58,929 --> 00:37:00,388
Say it.

640
00:37:02,074 --> 00:37:04,280
I'm Giliac trash.

641
00:37:05,213 --> 00:37:08,253
There, doesn't that feel better?

642
00:37:09,143 --> 00:37:11,423
No contraband, sir.

643
00:37:17,381 --> 00:37:18,549
Wait.

644
00:37:19,856 --> 00:37:21,525
Check under the floorboards.

645
00:37:21,707 --> 00:37:23,156
- No.
- You'll find a Wasanda child.

646
00:37:23,181 --> 00:37:25,583
No. No. No, Rokal.

647
00:37:25,608 --> 00:37:27,744
No, no. Please don't take her!

648
00:37:27,809 --> 00:37:30,115
- Don't do it.
- No! No! Please don't take her!

649
00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:32,778
No! No, please!

650
00:37:33,146 --> 00:37:35,906
No! No!

651
00:37:36,439 --> 00:37:38,013
No!

652
00:37:38,170 --> 00:37:40,260
No!

653
00:37:40,318 --> 00:37:43,455
No, please let her stay. No.

654
00:37:43,533 --> 00:37:45,402
A future leader.

655
00:37:45,635 --> 00:37:47,326
Her life will be blessed.

656
00:37:47,377 --> 00:37:49,403
No, no.

657
00:37:50,861 --> 00:37:53,720
No! Please!

658
00:37:53,803 --> 00:37:55,514
Please, no.

659
00:38:14,109 --> 00:38:15,498
This ends here and now.

660
00:38:15,553 --> 00:38:17,424
What do you intend to do?

661
00:38:17,655 --> 00:38:18,758
We're Giliacs.

662
00:38:18,824 --> 00:38:21,163
Born criminals. Violent reprobates.

663
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:25,170
And the way I see it, we're
within first contact protocol

664
00:38:25,236 --> 00:38:27,441
if we're exactly
who they want us to be.

665
00:38:41,912 --> 00:38:43,352
It's a solar sail.

666
00:38:43,413 --> 00:38:45,218
We can launch it from a shuttle
and position it

667
00:38:45,243 --> 00:38:47,278
so that the reflective light
from the star

668
00:38:47,312 --> 00:38:49,560
will be visible
from the surface of Regor 2.

669
00:38:49,674 --> 00:38:51,731
So, to the Regorians, it'll look like

670
00:38:51,756 --> 00:38:54,059
the missing Giliac star has reappeared?

671
00:38:54,084 --> 00:38:55,077
Exactly.

672
00:38:55,102 --> 00:38:56,800
What about their detection systems?

673
00:38:56,894 --> 00:38:58,924
Thought of that.
We build in a jamming device

674
00:38:58,949 --> 00:39:00,196
to fool their telemetry.

675
00:39:00,297 --> 00:39:02,933
Their scans would confirm that
what they're seeing is a star.

676
00:39:02,975 --> 00:39:05,912
We'd use microthrusters
to hold the sail's position.

677
00:39:06,216 --> 00:39:08,218
Should be able
to keep it stable indefinitely.

678
00:39:08,710 --> 00:39:10,361
How soon can it be deployed?

679
00:39:10,468 --> 00:39:11,770
Less than 12 hours.

680
00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:13,218
Do it.

681
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,370
We have to get the main gate open.

682
00:39:59,925 --> 00:40:01,138
Move in!

683
00:41:28,465 --> 00:41:30,858
You really do have my pity.

684
00:41:54,539 --> 00:41:55,905
Shuttle to bridge.

685
00:41:55,930 --> 00:41:57,066
I think we're set here.

686
00:41:57,207 --> 00:41:58,577
Tell 'em they're good to go.

687
00:41:58,665 --> 00:42:00,679
Shuttle, you are cleared for departure.

688
00:42:00,883 --> 00:42:02,283
Hope this works.

689
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:04,121
It'll work.

690
00:42:04,214 --> 00:42:05,716
I think it'll work.

691
00:42:29,407 --> 00:42:32,100
The stars don't lie.

692
00:42:32,309 --> 00:42:34,093
They teach us

693
00:42:34,179 --> 00:42:37,316
that the Giliacs are lawless.

694
00:42:37,844 --> 00:42:39,124
Savage.

695
00:42:39,317 --> 00:42:41,714
And beyond reform.

696
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,338
No matter what world they're from.

697
00:42:52,630 --> 00:42:54,800
Ready for deployment.

698
00:42:55,090 --> 00:42:56,823
All you, man.

699
00:42:57,517 --> 00:42:58,977
Shuttle to Orville.

700
00:42:59,102 --> 00:43:00,550
Hoisting the sail.

701
00:43:33,137 --> 00:43:34,640
Releasing clamps.

702
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:38,142
Activating thrusters.

703
00:43:55,787 --> 00:43:57,789
Arms at the ready!

704
00:43:58,134 --> 00:44:00,160
Listen to me, all of you.

705
00:44:00,574 --> 00:44:02,637
You're worth more than they tell you.

706
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:06,878
Remember that.

707
00:44:09,577 --> 00:44:10,847
And...

708
00:44:10,881 --> 00:44:12,521
Look!

709
00:44:25,655 --> 00:44:27,989
Understood. I'll pass it on.

710
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,651
The Celestial Advisory
has confirmed, Prefect.

711
00:44:34,292 --> 00:44:36,046
It's a star.

712
00:44:39,577 --> 00:44:41,579
Call an emergency session.

713
00:44:41,852 --> 00:44:43,888
What does it mean?

714
00:44:46,598 --> 00:44:48,768
Change.

715
00:45:07,124 --> 00:45:08,934
You really should be doing this
in the mess hall.

716
00:45:08,959 --> 00:45:10,363
If the Krill attacked right now,
we'd be screwed.

717
00:45:10,388 --> 00:45:11,811
No, no, no, no, it's got to be here.

718
00:45:11,836 --> 00:45:14,171
John and I made something
special for you guys.

719
00:45:36,296 --> 00:45:37,409
What?

720
00:45:38,780 --> 00:45:40,716
Mm. It is amusing.

721
00:45:42,473 --> 00:45:44,418
I am not amused.

722
00:45:44,714 --> 00:45:46,517
Guys, it's perfect. Thank you.

723
00:45:46,577 --> 00:45:47,762
You really captured her essence.

724
00:45:47,787 --> 00:45:50,090
Deep down, she truly is a cartoon.

725
00:45:50,394 --> 00:45:52,363
- Oh, shush.
- It's why I love you.

726
00:45:52,388 --> 00:45:53,769
Yeah, yeah, whatever.

727
00:46:07,624 --> 00:46:08,874
Happy birthday.

728
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,715
Only four weeks late. Not too bad.

729
00:46:10,740 --> 00:46:12,342
Yeah.

730
00:46:12,389 --> 00:46:14,212
- Any updates?
- Yes.

731
00:46:14,264 --> 00:46:15,498
According to the diplomats,

732
00:46:15,523 --> 00:46:17,467
the last of the camps was opened today.

733
00:46:18,087 --> 00:46:19,412
Oh, and I forgot to tell you:

734
00:46:19,437 --> 00:46:21,674
I got another communiqué from Ukania.

735
00:46:21,861 --> 00:46:23,409
She said that her baby's doing great.

736
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:25,899
And she named her Kelly.

737
00:46:26,235 --> 00:46:28,407
Well, you know, with all
the trouble we had down there,

738
00:46:28,432 --> 00:46:30,634
if you made that kind of
an impact on a woman's life,

739
00:46:30,659 --> 00:46:34,596
I would say that's a pretty
successful first contact.

740
00:46:35,019 --> 00:46:36,925
Captain, I have a

741
00:46:36,965 --> 00:46:39,390
what might be an
uncomfortable question.

742
00:46:39,523 --> 00:46:40,834
What's gonna happen when the Regorians

743
00:46:40,859 --> 00:46:42,461
figure out the star is fake?

744
00:46:42,827 --> 00:46:45,330
That's actually a really good question.

745
00:46:45,448 --> 00:46:47,597
We just lied to an entire planet,

746
00:46:47,622 --> 00:46:50,466
and I don't know what
the ethics of that mean.

747
00:46:50,687 --> 00:46:53,290
But that lie meant freedom

748
00:46:53,315 --> 00:46:56,160
for an entire portion
of the population, so...

749
00:46:56,519 --> 00:46:58,390
The short answer is: I don't know.

750
00:46:58,445 --> 00:47:00,113
By the time their technology advances

751
00:47:00,138 --> 00:47:01,933
to the point where they know
the jig is up,

752
00:47:02,173 --> 00:47:03,911
they may not even care anymore.

753
00:47:04,081 --> 00:47:06,686
You did good, Talla, really good.

754
00:47:06,844 --> 00:47:09,402
You had big shoes to fill,
and I'm not kidding.

755
00:47:09,519 --> 00:47:12,722
And as far as I'm concerned,
you filled them and then some.

756
00:47:13,056 --> 00:47:15,538
So, from here on out, you are
officially allowed to punch me.

757
00:47:15,625 --> 00:47:17,794
Thank you, sir.

758
00:47:17,895 --> 00:47:20,645
Well, it's my party,
and I feel like dancing.
