00:08:20,948 --> 00:08:23,083
Oh, dig it. Boom.

174
00:08:24,784 --> 00:08:27,354
All right, uh,
Lieutenant Commander Bortus,

175
00:08:27,387 --> 00:08:29,523
our second officer.

176
00:08:29,556 --> 00:08:31,926
You know, I've never met
a single-gender species before.

177
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:33,994
Your entire species
is male, isn't it?

178
00:08:34,028 --> 00:08:35,595
That is correct, sir.

179
00:08:35,629 --> 00:08:38,098
So, there's probably not
a lot of arguments about...

180
00:08:38,132 --> 00:08:41,268
leaving the toilet seat up and
that kind of thing, right? No.

181
00:08:41,301 --> 00:08:43,938
Moclans urinate
only once per year.

182
00:08:43,971 --> 00:08:45,739
Really? That's...

183
00:08:45,772 --> 00:08:47,908
Me, I'm-I'm up two,
three times a night.

184
00:08:47,942 --> 00:08:49,876
That is unfortunate.

185
00:08:51,378 --> 00:08:52,947
It is.

186
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:54,748
Dr. Claire Finn.

187
00:08:54,781 --> 00:08:56,683
You're my chief
medical officer, yes?

188
00:08:56,716 --> 00:08:58,352
Yes, sir, I am.
Welcome aboard.

189
00:08:58,385 --> 00:09:00,854
Your credentials
are exceptional.

190
00:09:00,887 --> 00:09:02,556
"Molecular surgery,
DNA engineering,

191
00:09:02,589 --> 00:09:04,424
psychiatry." You could be
posted on a heavy cruiser.

192
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:05,759
What are you doing
on the Orville?

193
00:09:05,792 --> 00:09:07,894
I always request
my transfers

194
00:09:07,928 --> 00:09:09,463
based on where I think
I'm needed.

195
00:09:09,496 --> 00:09:11,365
I feel more stimulated that way.

196
00:09:11,398 --> 00:09:13,100
And so what made you
request this ship?

197
00:09:13,133 --> 00:09:15,535
Well, this is
your first command, and

198
00:09:15,569 --> 00:09:17,037
I think you could use my help.

199
00:09:17,071 --> 00:09:19,373
So you think I might screw up.

200
00:09:19,406 --> 00:09:21,075
No, sir, I didn't say that, sir.

201
00:09:21,108 --> 00:09:22,576
Well, no, but you implied
that you don't think

202
00:09:22,609 --> 00:09:24,211
I have the balls to do this job.

203
00:09:24,244 --> 00:09:25,779
Well, I am your doctor, sir,

204
00:09:25,812 --> 00:09:28,282
and if your balls are under par,
I'll know.

205
00:09:28,315 --> 00:09:30,150
(chuckles)
All right.

206
00:09:30,184 --> 00:09:31,952
And finally, Isaac,

207
00:09:31,986 --> 00:09:33,620
our science and
engineering officer,

208
00:09:33,653 --> 00:09:36,056
hailing from Kaylon 1.

209
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:37,391
Affirmative, sir.

210
00:09:37,424 --> 00:09:38,959
You know, I got to tell you,
I was surprised

211
00:09:38,993 --> 00:09:40,827
to see any Kaylon serving
in the fleet.

212
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:44,664
Aren't you guys
legendarily racist?

213
00:09:44,698 --> 00:09:47,901
My planet regards humans
and other biological life-forms

214
00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:50,004
as inferior,
if that is your inference.

215
00:09:50,037 --> 00:09:51,571
Oh, that's great.
Thanks.

216
00:09:51,605 --> 00:09:52,939
You are welcome.

217
00:09:52,973 --> 00:09:54,408
So what are you doing
on a Union ship?

218
00:09:54,441 --> 00:09:56,643
Your fleet's admiralty
offered a posting

219
00:09:56,676 --> 00:09:58,278
to any Kaylon willing
to take it.

220
00:09:58,312 --> 00:10:00,014
As an effort to
initiate relations

221
00:10:00,047 --> 00:10:02,849
between Kaylon and
the Union, we accepted.

222
00:10:02,882 --> 00:10:04,951
I was chosen to
represent my planet.

223
00:10:04,985 --> 00:10:08,688
I see it as an ideal opportunity
to study human behavior.

224
00:10:08,722 --> 00:10:11,491
Well, we'll, uh... we'll
try not to bore you.

225
00:10:11,525 --> 00:10:14,294
You will find me
to be your most capable officer.

226
00:10:14,328 --> 00:10:17,264
All right, everybody settle in.

227
00:10:17,297 --> 00:10:19,199
We ship out
this afternoon.

228
00:10:27,841 --> 00:10:29,509
(knock on door)

229
00:10:29,543 --> 00:10:30,610
Hey, what's up?

230
00:10:30,644 --> 00:10:32,612
Hey, man, come on in.

231
00:10:32,646 --> 00:10:33,780
Figured I'd introduce myself
since we're gonna be working

232
00:10:33,813 --> 00:10:35,315
full shifts together.

233
00:10:35,349 --> 00:10:37,717
Translation: you want to
make sure I'm not a jerk.

234
00:10:37,751 --> 00:10:38,952
Something like that.

235
00:10:38,985 --> 00:10:41,321
Dude, I'm such a jerk,
it's ridiculous.

236
00:10:41,355 --> 00:10:43,190
Okay, well, so am I,
so this is gonna work out great.

237
00:10:43,223 --> 00:10:44,891
Gordon Malloy.
John Lamarr.

238
00:10:44,924 --> 00:10:46,626
Cool.

239
00:10:46,660 --> 00:10:48,862
So, I heard you've been out
of commission for a minute.

240
00:10:48,895 --> 00:10:51,165
Well, not out of commission,
but, uh,

241
00:10:51,198 --> 00:10:54,068
definitely kept on desk duty.
Well, what'd you do?

242
00:10:54,101 --> 00:10:56,570
I mean, your piloting skills
are kind of legendary.

243
00:10:56,603 --> 00:10:57,871
How'd you get suspended?

244
00:10:57,904 --> 00:10:59,339
I let my cousin shoot a porno

245
00:10:59,373 --> 00:11:01,641
in the back of a shuttle
in exchange for some pills.

246
00:11:01,675 --> 00:11:04,378
W-Wait. No. R-Really?

247
00:11:04,411 --> 00:11:07,381
(laughs):
Man, look at your face.

248
00:11:07,414 --> 00:11:09,049
No, no, no, I did a,
I did a manual override

249
00:11:09,083 --> 00:11:10,550
on a tricky shuttle docking

250
00:11:10,584 --> 00:11:12,586
and sheared off
a cargo bay door.

251
00:11:12,619 --> 00:11:14,888
Yeah, nobody was hurt,
but 300 crates

252
00:11:14,921 --> 00:11:17,424
of authentic autumn squash
were sucked into space.

253
00:11:17,457 --> 00:11:19,259
Well, that's a lot
of damn squash.

254
00:11:19,293 --> 00:11:21,261
Yeah. I was trying
to impress a girl.

255
00:11:21,295 --> 00:11:22,662
Ah, I can respect that.

256
00:11:22,696 --> 00:11:24,264
Needless to say it didn't
go over too well.

257
00:11:24,298 --> 00:11:26,066
If it weren't for Ed,
I probably wouldn't

258
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:29,002
be back at the helm for a lot
longer than this, if ever.

259
00:11:29,035 --> 00:11:31,071
Well, just steer with your head
from now on,

260
00:11:31,105 --> 00:11:32,406
and you'll be okay.

261
00:11:32,439 --> 00:11:33,440
Yeah.

262
00:11:33,473 --> 00:11:36,410
See you on the bridge.

263
00:11:45,819 --> 00:11:47,587
HALSEY: I wish I could give you
something more exciting

264
00:11:47,621 --> 00:11:50,090
for your maiden voyage,
but it's pretty straightforward.

265
00:11:50,124 --> 00:11:51,425
You'll be delivering supplies

266
00:11:51,458 --> 00:11:54,027
to the science station
on Epsilon 2.

267
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:55,395
Hey, sir, I'm not
complaining.

268
00:11:55,429 --> 00:11:57,063
It'll be great
just to be out there.

269
00:11:57,097 --> 00:11:59,766
Uh, is there any word yet
on a first officer?

270
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,035
I should have an update
in a few hours.

271
00:12:02,068 --> 00:12:04,704
Sounds like you won't have
to wait much longer.

272
00:12:04,738 --> 00:12:07,141
Safe travels, Captain.

273
00:12:09,409 --> 00:12:10,444
Captain.

274
00:12:25,125 --> 00:12:27,427
Captain, we've received
the green light

275
00:12:27,461 --> 00:12:30,764
from dockyard tower, and
we're cleared for departure.

276
00:12:30,797 --> 00:12:32,098
Tell them we're good to go.

277
00:12:32,132 --> 00:12:35,435
Lieutenant Malloy, take us out.

278
00:12:35,469 --> 00:12:38,172
Aye, sir.
Departing dockyard.

279
00:13:07,301 --> 00:13:09,236
♪

280
00:13:33,527 --> 00:13:35,429
♪

281
00:13:45,372 --> 00:13:49,175
Dockyard perimeter cleared.

282
00:13:51,211 --> 00:13:55,014
Set course for Epsilon
and engage quantum drive.

283
00:13:55,048 --> 00:13:58,452
Course set, drive engaged.

284
00:14:12,732 --> 00:14:15,835
ETA: 19 hours, 51 minutes.

285
00:14:15,869 --> 00:14:17,504
I've never been to
the Epsilon Science Station.

286
00:14:17,537 --> 00:14:19,239
What's it like? BORTUS:
Epsilon 2 is an outpost

287
00:14:19,273 --> 00:14:22,075
devoted exclusively
to scientific inquiry.

288
00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:23,577
ED:
Researchers

289
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:25,845
from all over the galaxy
petition to work there.

290
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:28,348
Really? Wow.

291
00:14:28,382 --> 00:14:29,416
Any good bars?

292
00:14:29,449 --> 00:14:30,784
I will investigate.

293
00:14:30,817 --> 00:14:32,852
No, Bortus, you don't have
to investigate that.

294
00:14:32,886 --> 00:14:34,754
I have already obtained
the information.

295
00:14:34,788 --> 00:14:36,523
Oh.
Shall I withhold it?

296
00:14:36,556 --> 00:14:37,591
No, you can tell us.

297
00:14:37,624 --> 00:14:38,858
There are no bars.

298
00:14:38,892 --> 00:14:40,126
How about strip clubs?

299
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:41,295
Gordon.
Sorry.

300
00:14:41,328 --> 00:14:42,462
There are no strip clubs.

301
00:14:42,496 --> 00:14:44,464
Captain, there's a message
coming in

302
00:14:44,498 --> 00:14:45,765
from Admiral Halsey.

303
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:47,301
It says that
an executive officer

304
00:14:47,334 --> 00:14:48,868
has become available
and can rendezvous

305
00:14:48,902 --> 00:14:51,538
with the Orville
at station 794.

306
00:14:51,571 --> 00:14:53,206
That's great.
That's barely out of our way.

307
00:14:53,239 --> 00:14:54,708
Who is it?

308
00:14:54,741 --> 00:14:58,144
He wants me to forward it
to you privately.

309
00:14:58,177 --> 00:15:01,147
All right, send it
to my station.

310
00:15:04,518 --> 00:15:05,752
No.

311
00:15:05,785 --> 00:15:07,387
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

312
00:15:07,421 --> 00:15:09,389
What's the matter?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

313
00:15:09,423 --> 00:15:12,959
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

314
00:15:12,992 --> 00:15:15,495
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

315
00:15:15,529 --> 00:15:17,831
Ah, crap!
Sorry, man, you okay?

316
00:15:17,864 --> 00:15:19,098
Yeah, it's all good, man.
You okay?

317
00:15:19,132 --> 00:15:20,800
Yeah, all good. Sorry.
All right, no worries.

318
00:15:22,168 --> 00:15:24,604
Calm down, Ed, and be
professional about this.

319
00:15:24,638 --> 00:15:25,839
Oh, please,
there is nothing at all

320
00:15:25,872 --> 00:15:27,607
professional
about this situation.

321
00:15:27,641 --> 00:15:29,008
Okay, this is my ex-wife,

322
00:15:29,042 --> 00:15:30,610
who I have not seen
since my divorce

323
00:15:30,644 --> 00:15:33,513
a year ago after I walked in on
her banging a Retepsian.

324
00:15:33,547 --> 00:15:35,248
I know this isn't ideal,

325
00:15:35,281 --> 00:15:36,916
but she's the only qualified
XO available.

326
00:15:36,950 --> 00:15:39,152
And the staff profile
compatibility program

327
00:15:39,185 --> 00:15:41,988
indicated your skill sets
complement hers.

328
00:15:42,021 --> 00:15:44,290
Oh, it did? See if your
compatibility program

329
00:15:44,324 --> 00:15:46,125
can get blue
out of a white lampshade.

330
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:47,994
Ed, you need
to calm yourself here.

331
00:15:48,027 --> 00:15:49,629
God, I can't even believe
this is happening.

332
00:15:49,663 --> 00:15:51,130
Look, she is the only
current option,

333
00:15:51,164 --> 00:15:53,032
and if you make a stink
about an XO assignment

334
00:15:53,066 --> 00:15:55,602
one day into your first command,

335
00:15:55,635 --> 00:15:56,770
with your record,

336
00:15:56,803 --> 00:15:58,472
it's not gonna look good.

337
00:15:58,505 --> 00:16:00,340
And you're telling me
she's okay with this?

338
00:16:00,374 --> 00:16:02,075
Ed, she requested it.

339
00:16:31,405 --> 00:16:32,972
(console beeps)

340
00:16:33,006 --> 00:16:34,574
Sir, Shuttle Bay reports

341
00:16:34,608 --> 00:16:37,210
the XO's shuttle has docked.

342
00:16:37,243 --> 00:16:38,244
Can you tell her to come
straight to my office?

343
00:16:38,277 --> 00:16:40,747
Aye, sir.

344
00:16:40,780 --> 00:16:42,416
The captain does not
appear to be pleased

345
00:16:42,449 --> 00:16:44,884
at the arrival
of his first officer.

346
00:16:44,918 --> 00:16:45,919
Why is this?

347
00:16:45,952 --> 00:16:47,421
'Cause she's a total bitch.

348
00:16:47,454 --> 00:16:48,422
Do you know her?

349
00:16:48,455 --> 00:16:50,557
Oh, yeah.
They were married.

350
00:16:50,590 --> 00:16:51,825
No way.

351
00:16:51,858 --> 00:16:53,927
She cheated on him.
Aw, damn, that's cold.

352
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,396
Yeah, so this should be
a really fun trip for all of us.

353
00:16:56,430 --> 00:16:58,064
Your description
of the occurrence

354
00:16:58,097 --> 00:16:59,766
indicates unpleasantness,

355
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:01,901
yet you believe it will be fun.

356
00:17:01,935 --> 00:17:04,270
I was being sarcastic.
It's gonna suck.

357
00:17:04,303 --> 00:17:07,607
Suck? Yeah, suck. You
know, like, ass, balls.

358
00:17:07,641 --> 00:17:09,543
What he means is,
if you don't already drink,

359
00:17:09,576 --> 00:17:11,044
you should probably start.

360
00:17:11,077 --> 00:17:12,879
Perhaps we should not
be talking about this.

361
00:17:12,912 --> 00:17:14,514
Oh, no, no, no, we're,
we're talking about this.

362
00:17:14,548 --> 00:17:15,915
It does not seem
appropriate.

363
00:17:15,949 --> 00:17:17,016
Oh, no, we're definitely
talking about it.

364
00:17:17,050 --> 00:17:18,752
Th-Th-This is a thing.

365
00:17:21,488 --> 00:17:23,289
(door chimes)

366
00:17:25,391 --> 00:17:27,794
(sighs) Come in.

367
00:17:30,897 --> 00:17:31,965
Hi.

368
00:17:31,998 --> 00:17:34,534
Hi.

369
00:17:34,568 --> 00:17:36,470
Can I come in?

370
00:17:40,974 --> 00:17:42,576
It's a nice office.

371
00:17:42,609 --> 00:17:44,210
Thank you.

372
00:17:44,243 --> 00:17:45,378
Did you pick out the furniture?

373
00:17:45,411 --> 00:17:46,980
You know, I didn't,
but if you're really

374
00:17:47,013 --> 00:17:48,748
interested in the furniture,
I'd be happy to get

375
00:17:48,782 --> 00:17:50,249
all the information
I can about it.

376
00:17:50,283 --> 00:17:51,785
I could have somebody
compile a full report

377
00:17:51,818 --> 00:17:53,887
and have it sent to your
quarters this afternoon.

378
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,289
Maybe you'd find something nice
for your new apartment.

379
00:17:56,322 --> 00:17:57,457
Are you all finished?

380
00:17:57,491 --> 00:17:58,825
Well, you know, I thought I was,

381
00:17:58,858 --> 00:18:01,327
but, apparently, you're not.

382
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,263
Ed...

383
00:18:04,297 --> 00:18:06,399
I can't apologize enough.

384
00:18:06,432 --> 00:18:08,434
I know it doesn't
matter to you,

385
00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:10,570
but I-I am sorrier
for what I did to you

386
00:18:10,604 --> 00:18:12,739
than anything I've ever
done in my entire life.

387
00:18:12,772 --> 00:18:14,107
You know, I've done

388
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:16,843
a pretty good job
getting over all this

389
00:18:16,876 --> 00:18:18,778
in the past year,

390
00:18:18,812 --> 00:18:21,915
and I'm over it,
so why don't you tell me

391
00:18:21,948 --> 00:18:23,116
what the hell you're doing here?

392
00:18:23,149 --> 00:18:25,084
I heard about
your promotion.

393
00:18:25,118 --> 00:18:27,086
I also heard there was
no XO available,

394
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,255
and you know how the
fleet admirals are.

395
00:18:29,288 --> 00:18:31,591
They don't like to see a captain
on his own for too long.

396
00:18:31,625 --> 00:18:35,829
And I figured
I'd wronged you so badly

397
00:18:35,862 --> 00:18:38,264
that if there was something
good I could do for you,

398
00:18:38,297 --> 00:18:40,500
it'd help me atone in some way.

399
00:18:40,534 --> 00:18:42,702
So I requested a transfer.

400
00:18:42,736 --> 00:18:44,871
I literally bailed on my own
crewmates to come here.

401
00:18:44,904 --> 00:18:46,339
Well, you bailed
on a whole marriage,

402
00:18:46,372 --> 00:18:48,274
so I imagine that was
a piece of cake for you, huh?

403
00:18:48,307 --> 00:18:50,043
Ed, look, I'm not saying
what I did wasn't disgraceful,

404
00:18:50,076 --> 00:18:52,045
but I only did it
because I didn't have you.

405
00:18:52,078 --> 00:18:55,014
(laughs): There it is.
How long did that take you?

406
00:18:55,048 --> 00:18:57,517
How many minutes into this conversation?
You were working nonstop.

407
00:18:57,551 --> 00:18:58,952
Okay, there were
entire days

408
00:18:58,985 --> 00:19:00,554
I wouldn't see you.
Yeah, I was working for us,

409
00:19:00,587 --> 00:19:02,822
Kelly, for you and I.
That-- you know this.

410
00:19:02,856 --> 00:19:04,490
I didn't ask you to do that.

411
00:19:04,524 --> 00:19:06,059
Okay? Y-You just shut off
from our relationship.

412
00:19:06,092 --> 00:19:07,561
I-I didn't know
how to handle it.

413
00:19:07,594 --> 00:19:09,295
So you banged Papa Smurf
in our bed.

414
00:19:09,328 --> 00:19:11,297
That's one way to handle it. Darulio
was there when you weren't.

415
00:19:11,330 --> 00:19:12,498
And you know how
many times I tried

416
00:19:12,532 --> 00:19:13,967
to talk to you, but you just
kept putting me off?

417
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,301
Whe-When did you try
to talk to me?

418
00:19:15,334 --> 00:19:17,136
So many times. Where it
wasn't, like, an insidious,

419
00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:18,404
subtle, sarcastic...
Either you weren't hearing me

420
00:19:18,437 --> 00:19:19,873
or you weren't around
at all, but I did try.

421
00:19:19,906 --> 00:19:20,874
I was the one who suggested
couples counseling.

422
00:19:20,907 --> 00:19:21,975
Couples counseling?

423
00:19:22,008 --> 00:19:23,409
The therapist was
your brother-in-law.

424
00:19:23,442 --> 00:19:26,580
Look, this-- okay-- this ship

425
00:19:26,613 --> 00:19:29,082
is what I've been waiting for
my entire career.

426
00:19:29,115 --> 00:19:30,917
My entire life.

427
00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:32,752
So why are you doing this to me?

428
00:19:34,621 --> 00:19:37,591
As soon as another XO
becomes available,

429
00:19:37,624 --> 00:19:39,458
I'll be the one
to request a transfer.

430
00:19:45,298 --> 00:19:47,266
(door whooshes open)

431
00:20:07,453 --> 00:20:09,956
Whoa, hey.

432
00:20:09,989 --> 00:20:11,625
Hi there.

433
00:20:11,658 --> 00:20:14,761
I was just on my
way to the john.

434
00:20:14,794 --> 00:20:17,296
Well, I'm-I'm glad
I bumped into you.

435
00:20:17,330 --> 00:20:18,598
Do you have a second?

436
00:20:18,632 --> 00:20:20,433
Sure. I can hold it.

437
00:20:20,466 --> 00:20:24,103
Okay. Gordon, I just want to make sure...
You know what?

438
00:20:24,137 --> 00:20:26,606
You should probably call
me Lieutenant Malloy,

439
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,743
seeing as how you're
my boss now... sir.

440
00:20:29,776 --> 00:20:32,578
Right. Lieutenant.

441
00:20:32,612 --> 00:20:33,647
I just want to
make sure that

442
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,749
everything's all right
between us.

443
00:20:35,782 --> 00:20:37,617
I mean, I'm assuming that
you and Ed are still close.

444
00:20:37,651 --> 00:20:38,785
Yeah.

445
00:20:38,818 --> 00:20:42,421
Yeah, and...

446
00:20:42,455 --> 00:20:45,591
what happened between Ed and I,
that-- it was a mistake.

447
00:20:45,625 --> 00:20:48,594
A big one.
And, um,

448
00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:50,429
I guess I just want to know
that you're gonna be okay

449
00:20:50,463 --> 00:20:51,765
taking orders from me.

450
00:20:51,798 --> 00:20:53,432
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, no, no.

451
00:20:53,466 --> 00:20:55,434
I'm a professional,
don't worry about that.

452
00:20:55,468 --> 00:20:56,803
That's good to hear.

453
00:20:56,836 --> 00:20:58,304
Actually, the folks
up on the bridge

454
00:20:58,337 --> 00:20:59,673
were asking
about you earlier,

455
00:20:59,706 --> 00:21:01,440
and I was telling them
you're actually

456
00:21:01,474 --> 00:21:03,943
a really cool person.
Really?

457
00:21:03,977 --> 00:21:06,980
I kind of primed the pump
for you up there, you know.

458
00:21:07,013 --> 00:21:08,414
All good vibes.

459
00:21:08,447 --> 00:21:10,583
That's very magnanimous
of you.

460
00:21:10,616 --> 00:21:14,187
I got you.
I got you.

461
00:21:14,220 --> 00:21:15,655
(sighs)

462
00:21:15,689 --> 00:21:18,624
So, um,
permission to pee?

463
00:21:18,658 --> 00:21:20,293
Oh. (chuckles):
Granted, yes.

464
00:21:20,326 --> 00:21:22,461
Sweet, sweet.

465
00:21:22,495 --> 00:21:25,131
Hey, I'm gonna go look up
what "magnanimous" means.

466
00:21:25,164 --> 00:21:27,500
Great.
Great.

467
00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:29,168
I mean, pee first, though.

468
00:21:29,202 --> 00:21:30,336
Priorities.

469
00:21:30,369 --> 00:21:32,672
(laughing):
You know it.

470
00:21:36,976 --> 00:21:39,879
♪

471
00:21:53,326 --> 00:21:55,695
Entering orbit
of Epsilon 2.

472
00:21:55,729 --> 00:21:56,896
Lieutenant Kitan,

473
00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:58,197
signal them we're ready.

474
00:21:58,231 --> 00:21:59,565
ALARA:
Aye, Commander.

475
00:21:59,598 --> 00:22:02,301
Man, you could cut
the tension with a knife.

476
00:22:02,335 --> 00:22:03,903
Do not make eye contact.

477
00:22:03,937 --> 00:22:05,371
Orville to Epsilon
Science Station.

478
00:22:05,404 --> 00:22:08,708
We're here and ready
to bring down supplies.

479
00:22:08,742 --> 00:22:09,909
Orville, this is Dr. Aronov.

480
00:22:09,943 --> 00:22:11,210
I am chief of this facility.

481
00:22:11,244 --> 00:22:12,378
May I speak to your captain?

482
00:22:12,411 --> 00:22:13,646
Put him on the viewer.

483
00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:16,582
Dr. Aronov, this is
Captain Ed Mercer.

484
00:22:16,615 --> 00:22:18,752
We're about to start
sending down your supplies.

485
00:22:18,785 --> 00:22:22,822
Actually, Captain,
we-we don't need any supplies.

486
00:22:22,856 --> 00:22:24,758
I-I don't understand.

487
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:26,159
You requested these
supplies yourself, yeah?

488
00:22:26,192 --> 00:22:27,326
I did.

489
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:28,594
I'm sorry.

490
00:22:28,627 --> 00:22:30,429
I-I wouldn't have lied
unless I had to.

491
00:22:30,463 --> 00:22:32,431
Please, come down
to the surface.

492
00:22:32,465 --> 00:22:34,400
I will explain everything.

493
00:22:34,433 --> 00:22:36,069
This is really strange.

494
00:22:36,102 --> 00:22:37,570
Yeah, it's a great way
to start things off.

495
00:22:37,603 --> 00:22:39,072
Bortus, you have the conn.

496
00:22:39,105 --> 00:22:40,273
Lieutenant,
you're with us.

497
00:22:40,306 --> 00:22:41,707
You see that dog
in the background

498
00:22:41,741 --> 00:22:42,942
licking his balls?

499
00:22:42,976 --> 00:22:44,778
First thing I saw.

500
00:23:06,766 --> 00:23:10,770
MAN: Prepare for Orville
shuttle arrival, Bay 3.

501
00:23:17,443 --> 00:23:18,711
Captain Mercer.

502
00:23:18,744 --> 00:23:19,813
Welcome to Epsilon 2.

503
00:23:19,846 --> 00:23:21,547
Thank you for coming.
Dr. Aronov.

504
00:23:21,580 --> 00:23:23,983
This is my security
chief, Alara Kitan. Hi.

505
00:23:24,017 --> 00:23:26,752
My chief medical officer, Claire Finn.
Pleasure.

506
00:23:26,786 --> 00:23:28,387
And my ex-wife,
Kelly Grayson.

507
00:23:28,421 --> 00:23:29,789
I'm his first officer.

508
00:23:29,823 --> 00:23:30,924
Ah.

509
00:23:30,957 --> 00:23:32,391
But if any of your
research team

510
00:23:32,425 --> 00:23:34,160
needs an artless,
jabby-nail shoulder massage,

511
00:23:34,193 --> 00:23:35,661
she's the best there is.

512
00:23:35,694 --> 00:23:37,831
Doctor, you want to tell us
why you falsely diverted

513
00:23:37,864 --> 00:23:39,465
a starship on active duty?

514
00:23:39,498 --> 00:23:41,167
You know you could
do time for that.

515
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,401
We need protection.

516
00:23:42,435 --> 00:23:43,736
Protection from what?

517
00:23:43,769 --> 00:23:44,971
The Krill.

518
00:23:45,004 --> 00:23:46,973
There have been no Krill
ships sighted in this area.

519
00:23:47,006 --> 00:23:49,175
Come inside. I'll explain.

520
00:23:58,517 --> 00:23:59,485
(indistinct voice
over P.A. system)

521
00:23:59,518 --> 00:24:02,088
Wow. No wonder
they call this place

522
00:24:02,121 --> 00:24:03,689
the scientists'
playground.

523
00:24:03,722 --> 00:24:05,925
Incredible, isn't it?
Yeah.

524
00:24:05,959 --> 00:24:08,794
Here. Follow me through
the botany lab.

525
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:16,369
We're doing genetic research
and development here

526
00:24:16,402 --> 00:24:17,803
that will change
the face of the galaxy.

527
00:24:24,743 --> 00:24:25,912
(shouts)

528
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,615
(chirping)

529
00:24:29,648 --> 00:24:31,050
Is that one of
your projects?

530
00:24:31,084 --> 00:24:33,352
No, no, that's Dr. Jorvik,
our chief botanist.

531
00:24:33,386 --> 00:24:34,988
Keep up, please.

532
00:24:39,258 --> 00:24:41,394
What sort of research
are you doing here?

533
00:24:41,427 --> 00:24:43,229
Oh, well, uh...

534
00:24:43,262 --> 00:24:44,864
this is a redwood seed.

535
00:24:44,898 --> 00:24:46,966
Looks pretty ordinary, yes?
KELLY: Sure.

536
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,336
Well, this seed has been
genetically engineered

537
00:24:50,369 --> 00:24:51,905
with tardigrade DNA,

538
00:24:51,938 --> 00:24:54,573
which means it can survive
and grow in anything.

539
00:24:54,607 --> 00:24:56,242
Rock, metal, sand.

540
00:24:56,275 --> 00:24:58,211
It can exist a hundred
years without water.

541
00:24:58,244 --> 00:25:00,213
You can toss this seed in
the middle of the Sahara,

542
00:25:00,246 --> 00:25:02,748
and in a century you'll
have a towering redwood.

543
00:25:02,781 --> 00:25:04,650
That's really impressive.

544
00:25:04,683 --> 00:25:06,585
And as a bonus,
a healthy snack.

545
00:25:06,619 --> 00:25:07,820
Here, try some.

546
00:25:07,853 --> 00:25:08,888
(Mercer sighs)

547
00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:12,926
Yeah, it's very tasty.

548
00:25:12,959 --> 00:25:16,495
Listen, Dr. Aronov,
why are we here?

549
00:25:16,529 --> 00:25:20,033
I couldn't tell you the real
reason we needed a Union ship

550
00:25:20,066 --> 00:25:21,734
because I couldn't risk

551
00:25:21,767 --> 00:25:24,237
divulging the information
over open communications.

552
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:26,239
This way.

553
00:25:26,272 --> 00:25:28,607
(sighs)

554
00:25:36,315 --> 00:25:40,253
This is Janice Lee, one of our
most brilliant young physicists.

555
00:25:40,286 --> 00:25:41,687
Hello.
Hi.

556
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,423
Janice has been experimenting
with temporal fields

557
00:25:44,457 --> 00:25:46,259
and has made--
well, a breakthrough

558
00:25:46,292 --> 00:25:47,626
would be an understatement.

559
00:26:00,173 --> 00:26:03,242
So, it's
an anti-banana ray?

560
00:26:03,276 --> 00:26:04,543
It's really interesting.

561
00:26:04,577 --> 00:26:06,112
We need no longer
fear the banana.

562
00:26:06,145 --> 00:26:08,081
Does it work on all fruit?
What about salads?

563
00:26:08,114 --> 00:26:10,649
Do you understand what happened
to this banana?

564
00:26:10,683 --> 00:26:12,118
It's rotten

565
00:26:12,151 --> 00:26:13,953
because a month has passed.

566
00:26:13,987 --> 00:26:15,121
Since we got here? Yeah,
that's what it feels like.

567
00:26:15,154 --> 00:26:16,555
LEE:
Captain Mercer,

568
00:26:16,589 --> 00:26:18,757
this banana is suspended
in a quantum bubble

569
00:26:18,791 --> 00:26:20,759
that can be adjusted
to accelerate time.

570
00:26:20,793 --> 00:26:23,129
Out here only a few
moments have passed.

571
00:26:23,162 --> 00:26:26,299
Inside the bubble, it's
a month in the future.

572
00:26:26,332 --> 00:26:27,933
Does it work in
both directions?

573
00:26:27,967 --> 00:26:29,735
Like, could somebody use it
to go backward in time

574
00:26:29,768 --> 00:26:30,970
and tell their younger self

575
00:26:31,004 --> 00:26:32,471
not to make
a terrible life decision?

576
00:26:32,505 --> 00:26:34,140
Hey, will you give it a rest
for, like, five minutes?

577
00:26:34,173 --> 00:26:35,841
No, I didn't mean that-that...
I know what you meant.

578
00:26:35,874 --> 00:26:37,076
No, I just meant,
like, tell yourself

579
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:38,677
not to break your leg
in that fall

580
00:26:38,711 --> 00:26:40,179
or don't eat too many carbs

581
00:26:40,213 --> 00:26:42,915
or-or don't get married,
but is that how it works?

582
00:26:42,948 --> 00:26:44,150
No, the field
can only accelerate

583
00:26:44,183 --> 00:26:45,584
the forward pace of time.

584
00:26:45,618 --> 00:26:47,086
Captain...

585
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,421
we have figured out a way

586
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:49,922
to use quantum field technology

587
00:26:49,955 --> 00:26:53,459
to manipulate
the speed of events.

588
00:26:53,492 --> 00:26:55,161
CLAIRE: Sir, I've read
about this hypothetical.

589
00:26:55,194 --> 00:26:57,596
Quantum field manipulation
of the flow of time

590
00:26:57,630 --> 00:26:59,498
is theoretically possible.

591
00:26:59,532 --> 00:27:02,268
Wait, so...
so you're serious?

592
00:27:02,301 --> 00:27:04,437
My God. ARONOV: Think
of the benefits.

593
00:27:04,470 --> 00:27:06,439
Entire crops grown
in the blink of an eye.

594
00:27:06,472 --> 00:27:07,973
Starving populations

595
00:27:08,007 --> 00:27:09,942
supplied with limitless
amounts of food overnight.

596
00:27:09,975 --> 00:27:12,111
Life-threatening wounds
healed...

597
00:27:12,145 --> 00:27:14,147
(snaps fingers) ...instantly.
Or entire armies

598
00:27:14,180 --> 00:27:16,115
reduced to frail elders
instantly.

599
00:27:16,149 --> 00:27:18,451
You do realize this could
also be used as a weapon.

600
00:27:18,484 --> 00:27:19,685
That's why you're here.

601
00:27:19,718 --> 00:27:22,055
We couldn't risk sending
word to the Union fleet

602
00:27:22,088 --> 00:27:23,222
about what we'd discovered.

603
00:27:23,256 --> 00:27:24,490
If the Krill intercepted it,

604
00:27:24,523 --> 00:27:26,059
they could've been here
long before you.

605
00:27:26,092 --> 00:27:27,726
Well, we're only one ship
and not a big one,

606
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,628
so we better get help.

607
00:27:29,662 --> 00:27:31,564
How fast does the field
of acceleration go?

608
00:27:31,597 --> 00:27:34,067
How would you like to see
a 100-year-old banana?

609
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:35,768
Watch this.

610
00:27:38,271 --> 00:27:39,738
Mercer to Bortus.

611
00:27:39,772 --> 00:27:41,040
Bortus here, sir.

612
00:27:41,074 --> 00:27:43,042
Get a coded message
to Union Central

613
00:27:43,076 --> 00:27:44,910
that Epsilon 2 is
in possession of a...

614
00:27:44,943 --> 00:27:47,746
Put down that
comscanner, Captain.

615
00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:59,158
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What
is this? What's going on?

616
00:27:59,192 --> 00:28:00,426
Put down that comscanner

617
00:28:00,459 --> 00:28:02,395
and drop all your
weapons now.

618
00:28:02,428 --> 00:28:03,529
Listen, I don't know
what you're trying to...

619
00:28:06,899 --> 00:28:08,601
Okay, okay, relax.

620
00:28:08,634 --> 00:28:09,735
Move.

621
00:28:09,768 --> 00:28:11,437
ARONOV: Derek, what
the hell are you doing?

622
00:28:11,470 --> 00:28:12,605
(whispering):
Oh, of course it's a Derek.

623
00:28:12,638 --> 00:28:13,772
Who is this man?

624
00:28:13,806 --> 00:28:15,274
Derek Ashton, he's
a lab technician.

625
00:28:15,308 --> 00:28:17,376
He's been here
over a year.

626
00:28:17,410 --> 00:28:19,112
I don't understand this.
Explain yourself.

627
00:28:19,145 --> 00:28:21,680
Ashton to Krill vessel.
It's time.

628
00:28:21,714 --> 00:28:23,282
Derek, listen to me.
Don't do this.

629
00:28:23,316 --> 00:28:24,217
Back off!

630
00:28:24,250 --> 00:28:26,152
(screaming)

631
00:28:31,890 --> 00:28:34,193
Back off! Back off.
Look, you...

632
00:28:34,227 --> 00:28:35,394
Stay back! Stay
where you are.

633
00:28:35,428 --> 00:28:36,695
Bortus to Captain Mercer.

634
00:28:36,729 --> 00:28:37,930
We've just detected

635
00:28:37,963 --> 00:28:39,465
a Krill destroyer
entering orbit.

636
00:28:50,075 --> 00:28:51,477
Raise deflector screens.

637
00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:52,445
Deflector screens up.

638
00:29:03,522 --> 00:29:06,925
Two Krill shuttles
are heading for the surface.

639
00:29:06,959 --> 00:29:09,762
Captain, there are Krill
soldiers heading down to you.

640
00:29:09,795 --> 00:29:11,597
Captain.

641
00:29:11,630 --> 00:29:12,898
God, there's no way

642
00:29:12,931 --> 00:29:15,234
we're gonna be out
by 5:00 today, are we?

643
00:29:15,268 --> 00:29:17,002
BORTUS:
Captain. Do you read?

644
00:29:17,035 --> 00:29:18,837
ASHTON:
Answer him.

645
00:29:18,871 --> 00:29:20,339
Tell him the Krill
come in peace

646
00:29:20,373 --> 00:29:22,107
and to stand down all weapons.
They won't believe me.

647
00:29:22,141 --> 00:29:23,108
Do it!
Listen, I...

648
00:29:23,142 --> 00:29:25,010
Do it now!
Okay.

649
00:29:25,043 --> 00:29:27,079
BORTUS:
Captain, do you read?

650
00:29:27,112 --> 00:29:28,581
Please respond.
Say something!

651
00:29:28,614 --> 00:29:30,149
Mercer to Bortus.

652
00:29:30,183 --> 00:29:32,418
The Krill are here in peace.
Uh...

653
00:29:32,451 --> 00:29:34,520
They just came down for...

654
00:29:34,553 --> 00:29:36,855
The lab is having a pizza party
and the Krill are invited.

655
00:29:36,889 --> 00:29:39,358
Oh, man, can we go? Oh, Bortus,
can we please go down there?

656
00:29:39,392 --> 00:29:40,859
Did you say...

657
00:29:40,893 --> 00:29:42,261
a pizza party?

658
00:29:42,295 --> 00:29:44,497
It's for office birthdays.

659
00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:46,699
Lot of September
birthdays down here.

660
00:29:48,133 --> 00:29:49,235
(grunts)

661
00:29:50,703 --> 00:29:52,205
Alara, good work.

662
00:29:52,238 --> 00:29:54,373
Bortus, the Krill
are here to attack.

663
00:29:54,407 --> 00:29:56,008
Keep the weapons charged
and the deflectors up

664
00:29:56,041 --> 00:29:57,210
until we can get to you.

665
00:29:57,243 --> 00:29:58,844
There is no pizza party.
I repeat,

666
00:29:58,877 --> 00:30:00,613
there is no pizza party.

667
00:30:00,646 --> 00:30:02,848
She's dead.

668
00:30:02,881 --> 00:30:06,385
My God, she must be over 125 years old.
Dr. Aronov,

669
00:30:06,419 --> 00:30:08,787
we have to get the device back
to the Orville. What do we need?

670
00:30:08,821 --> 00:30:12,157
Detach the main generator
and grab the controller device.

671
00:30:20,866 --> 00:30:23,168
(soldier speaking Krill)

672
00:30:34,413 --> 00:30:35,914
BORTUS:
Orville to Krill ship.

673
00:30:35,948 --> 00:30:39,218
Call off your attack on the
surface or we will respond.

674
00:30:39,252 --> 00:30:40,953
The Krill are powering weapons.

675
00:30:49,061 --> 00:30:50,863
Deflectors are
at two-thirds power.

676
00:30:50,896 --> 00:30:52,064
Return fire.

677
00:30:56,769 --> 00:30:59,338
(speaks Krill)

678
00:30:59,372 --> 00:31:01,740
Back, back,
back, back, back.

679
00:31:01,774 --> 00:31:04,343
(people shouting)

680
00:31:04,377 --> 00:31:05,678
Doc, is there another way
out of here?

681
00:31:05,711 --> 00:31:06,745
There's an old
loading conduit,

682
00:31:06,779 --> 00:31:07,913
but it's across the atrium.

683
00:31:07,946 --> 00:31:09,415
We're gonna have
to sprint for it.

684
00:31:09,448 --> 00:31:10,916
All right, get ready.
Doc, stay behind Alara.

685
00:31:10,949 --> 00:31:12,017
Which one's Alara?

686
00:31:12,050 --> 00:31:13,419
Oh, I'm Alara.

687
00:31:13,452 --> 00:31:14,620
Sorry, still
learning names.

688
00:31:19,458 --> 00:31:20,926
Now.

689
00:31:23,161 --> 00:31:24,763
(shouts)

690
00:31:24,797 --> 00:31:25,931
(grunts)

691
00:31:27,333 --> 00:31:29,234
(grunts)

692
00:31:49,455 --> 00:31:50,589
(beeping)

693
00:31:52,358 --> 00:31:54,293
Ka'vaska!

694
00:32:01,099 --> 00:32:02,301
Deflectors at half power.

695
00:32:02,335 --> 00:32:04,337
Sir, I think I can
buy us some time

696
00:32:04,370 --> 00:32:06,939
till we can get the landing
party back. Let me wing it here?

697
00:32:06,972 --> 00:32:08,173
Proceed.

698
00:32:08,206 --> 00:32:11,410
This is something I call
"hugging the donkey."

699
00:32:11,444 --> 00:32:13,011
You can hug the donkey?

700
00:32:13,045 --> 00:32:14,480
Dude, I've been hugging the
donkey since flight school.

701
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,796
(whooping, laughing)

702
00:32:30,829 --> 00:32:32,631
Round and round she goes!

703
00:32:32,665 --> 00:32:33,666
Ha, ha!

704
00:32:46,579 --> 00:32:48,347
It's dead.

705
00:32:48,381 --> 00:32:49,782
(grunts)

706
00:32:49,815 --> 00:32:51,850
Door's jammed.

707
00:32:51,884 --> 00:32:54,987
Alara. You want to open
this jar of pickles for me?

708
00:32:59,257 --> 00:33:00,859
(grunts)

709
00:33:03,161 --> 00:33:05,698
I loosened it for you.

710
00:33:09,234 --> 00:33:10,569
(growls)

711
00:33:10,603 --> 00:33:12,405
Alara, get the device
back to the shuttle.

712
00:33:12,438 --> 00:33:14,740
We'll cover you.
Got it.

713
00:33:31,457 --> 00:33:32,658
(panting)

714
00:33:32,691 --> 00:33:34,427
Okay.

715
00:33:34,460 --> 00:33:36,395
(weapons firing in distance)

716
00:33:38,931 --> 00:33:40,799
(whirring)

717
00:33:44,437 --> 00:33:45,370
(growls)

718
00:33:49,408 --> 00:33:51,309
(groans)

719
00:33:54,312 --> 00:33:56,715
Everybody, strap in.

720
00:33:59,618 --> 00:34:00,953
Shuttle to Orville,
we're on our way.

721
00:34:09,428 --> 00:34:11,497
Captain, let me see
that shoulder.

722
00:34:12,898 --> 00:34:14,967
Does it hurt?
Yeah, it hurts like hell.

723
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,602
That means it's not that bad.

724
00:34:16,635 --> 00:34:17,736
What are you talking about,
Kelly?

725
00:34:17,770 --> 00:34:19,472
I literally just said
it hurts like hell.

726
00:34:19,505 --> 00:34:21,273
When he's really in pain,
he gives straight answers

727
00:34:21,306 --> 00:34:22,541
with no cussing.

728
00:34:22,575 --> 00:34:23,976
He's just hoping
you give him drugs.

729
00:34:24,009 --> 00:34:25,711
That's a bunch of crap, Kelly.
I'm in real pain here.

730
00:34:25,744 --> 00:34:27,245
I... why, do you have drugs
on, on...? Did you...?

731
00:34:27,279 --> 00:34:28,280
Everything's on the ship.

732
00:34:31,984 --> 00:34:34,319
Approaching ionosphere,
adjusting attitude.

733
00:34:39,825 --> 00:34:41,627
Mercer to Bortus.

734
00:34:41,660 --> 00:34:43,128
Are you gonna be able
to cut the deflectors

735
00:34:43,161 --> 00:34:44,296
long enough for us
to get through?

736
00:34:44,329 --> 00:34:45,798
BORTUS:
It may not matter, sir.

737
00:34:45,831 --> 00:34:47,332
The deflectors are almost gone.

738
00:34:48,634 --> 00:34:50,268
Oh, boy, that can't be good.

739
00:34:50,302 --> 00:34:51,637
They won't fire on us, they
know we have the device.

740
00:34:53,672 --> 00:34:56,975
Give me the device.

741
00:35:06,785 --> 00:35:08,186
Give me the device,

742
00:35:08,220 --> 00:35:11,624
and perhaps I will not harm you.

743
00:35:13,626 --> 00:35:15,694
(quietly):
All right, he's got a gun.

744
00:35:15,728 --> 00:35:17,362
But we have something better.

745
00:35:17,395 --> 00:35:18,531
What?

746
00:35:18,564 --> 00:35:19,865
Seat belts.

747
00:35:21,133 --> 00:35:22,334
(shouts)

748
00:35:28,306 --> 00:35:31,076
Deflectors are depleted.

749
00:35:44,256 --> 00:35:46,725
That was a piece
of the upper engine!

750
00:35:46,759 --> 00:35:48,360
We've lost helm control!

751
00:35:48,393 --> 00:35:50,395
Mercer to Orville,
we've lost navigational control

752
00:35:50,428 --> 00:35:52,565
and we're about 12 seconds
away from hitting you

753
00:35:52,598 --> 00:35:54,700
like a bug on a windshield.
Lieutenant,

754
00:35:54,733 --> 00:35:57,235
can you align the shuttle bay
doors with their trajectory?

755
00:35:57,269 --> 00:35:59,572
Sir, even if I was
the best helmsman in the galaxy,

756
00:35:59,605 --> 00:36:01,406
that's virtually impossible.

757
00:36:01,439 --> 00:36:04,142
If you can hug the donkey,

758
00:36:04,176 --> 00:36:05,944
you can do this.

759
00:36:08,113 --> 00:36:09,447
Come on, man, you got this.

760
00:36:10,448 --> 00:36:11,449
You can do it.

761
00:36:13,552 --> 00:36:16,388
It's like threading a needle
in a hurricane, but I'll try.

762
00:36:33,606 --> 00:36:35,173
(laughter, cheering)

763
00:36:35,207 --> 00:36:36,575
Yes. (whoops) (exhales sharply)

764
00:36:36,609 --> 00:36:37,610
Well done, Lieutenant.

765
00:36:37,643 --> 00:36:38,911
Sir, since I pulled that off,

766
00:36:38,944 --> 00:36:40,412
can I please wear
shorts to work?

767
00:36:40,445 --> 00:36:43,081
I've already said no.
Return fire.

768
00:36:50,789 --> 00:36:53,458
Secure that Krill!

769
00:36:53,491 --> 00:36:55,193
KRILL COMMANDER:
Union vessel, surrender

770
00:36:55,227 --> 00:36:56,962
and prepare to be boarded.

771
00:36:59,998 --> 00:37:02,234
Upper and middle engines
are gone, Captain.

772
00:37:02,267 --> 00:37:04,536
I have failed you.
Ship's in one piece, Bortus.

773
00:37:04,569 --> 00:37:06,304
I couldn't have done better.
Isaac.

774
00:37:06,338 --> 00:37:07,873
If I can buy
us some time,

775
00:37:07,906 --> 00:37:08,874
can you restore enough power
to the lower engine

776
00:37:08,907 --> 00:37:09,942
to get us out of here?

777
00:37:09,975 --> 00:37:11,443
I can try, sir.
Do it.

778
00:37:11,476 --> 00:37:14,279
Alara, hail the commander
of the Krill ship.

779
00:37:14,312 --> 00:37:15,580
Captain,
he's already signaling us.

780
00:37:15,614 --> 00:37:16,581
Put him on.

781
00:37:16,615 --> 00:37:17,716
Krill Commander,

782
00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:19,251
this is Captain Ed Mercer.

783
00:37:19,284 --> 00:37:21,319
Break off your attack,
and we can talk.

784
00:37:21,353 --> 00:37:24,156
Give me the device, human,

785
00:37:24,189 --> 00:37:27,159
or I will destroy your ship.

786
00:37:27,192 --> 00:37:28,894
Sorry, can you,
can you move, like,

787
00:37:28,927 --> 00:37:31,296
two steps to your right?
What?

788
00:37:31,329 --> 00:37:32,464
Just like a little,
t-tiny bit...

789
00:37:32,497 --> 00:37:34,599
It's just a lot of dead
space there, just...

790
00:37:34,633 --> 00:37:36,401
Yeah, just right th--
perfect. Yeah, sorry,

791
00:37:36,434 --> 00:37:37,670
you were just very
weirdly framed,

792
00:37:37,703 --> 00:37:38,904
it was all I
could focus on.

793
00:37:38,937 --> 00:37:40,272
Anyway, what is it you want?

794
00:37:40,305 --> 00:37:42,641
You know what I want.

795
00:37:42,675 --> 00:37:44,677
Sorry, right, yeah, sorry.
I'm a little distracted lately.

796
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:46,278
I just got out
of a rough marriage,

797
00:37:46,311 --> 00:37:47,813
and it's been
a difficult time.

798
00:37:47,846 --> 00:37:48,981
My wife had an affair...
Oh, my God.

799
00:37:49,014 --> 00:37:50,649
Are you really bringing
this up right now?

800
00:37:50,683 --> 00:37:53,418
I'm trying to keep him talking,
so I can buy us some time.

801
00:37:53,451 --> 00:37:54,653
Oh, okay. In that case,
you know what?

802
00:37:54,687 --> 00:37:55,821
You're an objective third party.

803
00:37:55,854 --> 00:37:56,922
Are you married?

804
00:37:56,955 --> 00:37:58,156
What?

805
00:37:58,190 --> 00:37:59,257
Oh, my God, you're ac--

806
00:37:59,291 --> 00:38:00,659
you're bringing him into our...

807
00:38:00,693 --> 00:38:01,760
No, I'm just buying
us some time.

808
00:38:01,794 --> 00:38:02,928
Let me ask
you something.

809
00:38:02,961 --> 00:38:04,029
Do you make an effort to balance

810
00:38:04,062 --> 00:38:05,363
your career with your home life?

811
00:38:05,397 --> 00:38:07,432
A marriage is work.

812
00:38:07,465 --> 00:38:09,601
It takes work, right?
Compromise.

813
00:38:09,634 --> 00:38:10,969
On both sides, yes.

814
00:38:11,003 --> 00:38:12,204
And if you didn't
make that effort,

815
00:38:12,237 --> 00:38:13,772
would you be surprised
if your wife

816
00:38:13,806 --> 00:38:15,473
sought comfort in
the arms of another?

817
00:38:15,507 --> 00:38:17,209
No, that would be selfish.

818
00:38:17,242 --> 00:38:18,543
"No, that would be s..."
Yeah, yeah,

819
00:38:18,576 --> 00:38:19,978
'cause both of you
are complete friggin' saints.

820
00:38:20,012 --> 00:38:21,880
You know what? I don't have
to sit here and listen...

821
00:38:21,914 --> 00:38:23,648
(explosion)
KRILL COMMANDER: Enough!

822
00:38:23,682 --> 00:38:25,784
Emergency power.

823
00:38:25,818 --> 00:38:28,120
You have 20 seconds
to give me the device,

824
00:38:28,153 --> 00:38:30,388
or you will die.

825
00:38:30,422 --> 00:38:31,890
Isaac, what about that engine?

826
00:38:31,924 --> 00:38:33,792
Still only at partial power,
sir.

827
00:38:33,826 --> 00:38:36,061
Alara, put the Krill on hold.

828
00:38:37,162 --> 00:38:38,630
I have an idea.

829
00:38:38,663 --> 00:38:39,732
What is it?

830
00:38:39,765 --> 00:38:41,233
Let's give him the device.

831
00:38:41,266 --> 00:38:42,968
What?
Dr. Aronov,

832
00:38:43,001 --> 00:38:44,402
can you preset the
field to fire up

833
00:38:44,436 --> 00:38:45,537
at a specific
intensity the moment

834
00:38:45,570 --> 00:38:46,571
the Krill activate it?

835
00:38:46,604 --> 00:38:48,206
I think so, but why?

836
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:49,842
And the field can accelerate
time a hundred years.

837
00:38:49,875 --> 00:38:51,243
Correct?
Yes, it can.

838
00:38:51,276 --> 00:38:53,578
About how long it takes
a redwood to grow.

839
00:39:04,456 --> 00:39:06,291
Alara, put him back on.

840
00:39:07,793 --> 00:39:10,395
All right, Commander, you win.

841
00:39:10,428 --> 00:39:11,764
We'll send you the device
by remote shuttle.

842
00:39:11,797 --> 00:39:13,198
When you receive it,

843
00:39:13,231 --> 00:39:15,000
we'll transmit
the activation code.

844
00:39:15,033 --> 00:39:17,035
Do not take long.

845
00:39:17,069 --> 00:39:18,771
We won't.

846
00:39:20,072 --> 00:39:21,774
Maybe she's not such a bitch.

847
00:39:23,876 --> 00:39:26,845
State-of-the-art weaponry on
this ship and we're using glue.

848
00:39:26,879 --> 00:39:28,246
My favorite part
of being a fleet officer.

849
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,215
The arts and crafts.

850
00:39:30,248 --> 00:39:31,416
You know, if we had time,

851
00:39:31,449 --> 00:39:33,118
I'd make a macaroni
man to put on here.

852
00:39:33,151 --> 00:39:34,286
You can make a macaroni man?

853
00:39:34,319 --> 00:39:36,454
I make really good macaroni men.

854
00:39:37,823 --> 00:39:39,825
All right, let's get
her out of here.

855
00:39:56,474 --> 00:39:58,911
The shuttle is aboard
the Krill ship.

856
00:39:58,944 --> 00:39:59,912
Signal them.

857
00:40:01,113 --> 00:40:02,881
All right, Commander.
You have it.

858
00:40:02,915 --> 00:40:03,982
Excellent. Now,

859
00:40:04,016 --> 00:40:07,285
give me the activation code.

860
00:40:09,654 --> 00:40:12,825
The code is six, alpha, nine,
three, seven,

861
00:40:12,858 --> 00:40:15,427
alpha, three, zero, zero.

862
00:40:15,460 --> 00:40:17,262
(beeping)

863
00:40:18,696 --> 00:40:20,465
Happy Arbor Day.

864
00:40:40,318 --> 00:40:42,320
Wait. What's Arbor Day?

865
00:40:42,354 --> 00:40:44,322
It's the holiday
where you plant the trees.

866
00:40:44,356 --> 00:40:46,491
I wouldn't have got that. Oh, yeah.
No, I didn't get that, either.

867
00:40:46,524 --> 00:40:47,926
You knew what Arbor Day was,
right?

868
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,327
I mean, actually, I
had to think a second.

869
00:40:49,361 --> 00:40:50,462
Kind of confusing.

870
00:40:50,495 --> 00:40:51,763
Nobody knows what Arbor Day is.

871
00:40:51,796 --> 00:40:52,965
BORTUS: No.
ALARA: No.

872
00:40:52,998 --> 00:40:54,199
I knew. BORTUS: I do not.

873
00:40:54,232 --> 00:40:55,200
What would you have said?

874
00:40:55,233 --> 00:40:56,268
I would've said,

875
00:40:56,301 --> 00:40:57,836
"You got wood."

876
00:40:57,870 --> 00:40:59,771
(laughter) GORDON: Yeah.

877
00:40:59,804 --> 00:41:00,939
Yes.

878
00:41:00,973 --> 00:41:03,175
Yeah, that is better,
isn't it?

879
00:41:12,717 --> 00:41:14,119
(door chimes)

880
00:41:14,152 --> 00:41:15,487
Come in.

881
00:41:17,255 --> 00:41:18,857
Hi.

882
00:41:18,891 --> 00:41:20,392
Hi.

883
00:41:20,425 --> 00:41:21,994
I didn't want to bother you
unless I had to.

884
00:41:22,027 --> 00:41:24,662
You've kind of kept to yourself
these last few days.

885
00:41:24,696 --> 00:41:26,899
Yeah, the admirals want a full
report on the Epsilon 2 stuff,

886
00:41:26,932 --> 00:41:28,666
so it's just taking a while.

887
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:30,002
Yeah, you need some help?

888
00:41:30,035 --> 00:41:31,169
No, I got it.

889
00:41:31,203 --> 00:41:34,072
So, um, I just wanted
to tell you

890
00:41:34,106 --> 00:41:35,340
(whirring, clicking) that
Lieutenant Commander Murphy...

891
00:41:35,373 --> 00:41:36,408
Sorry.

892
00:41:36,441 --> 00:41:38,243
Excuse me.
Can you... just...

893
00:41:38,276 --> 00:41:39,677
Just not now.

894
00:41:39,711 --> 00:41:41,579
No, just... we're talking.
We're t...

895
00:41:41,613 --> 00:41:43,715
Yes. Good, you got it, good.

896
00:41:43,748 --> 00:41:45,750
Okay.

897
00:41:45,783 --> 00:41:46,885
Lieutenant Commander Murphy
of the USS...

898
00:41:46,919 --> 00:41:48,586
(whirring, clicking)
Oh, my God.

899
00:41:48,620 --> 00:41:50,088
Just come back l...
just do it later. Thank you.

900
00:41:50,122 --> 00:41:51,723
Just not now,
we're having a conversation.

901
00:41:51,756 --> 00:41:53,558
Thank-- yes. Thank you.
Good. Thumbs up. Okay.

902
00:41:53,591 --> 00:41:54,692
Sorry, go ahead.

903
00:41:54,726 --> 00:41:56,094
Lieutenant Commander Murphy

904
00:41:56,128 --> 00:41:57,896
of the USS Chanute
just got promoted.

905
00:41:57,930 --> 00:42:00,565
So now he's eligible for
a first officer position.

906
00:42:00,598 --> 00:42:02,234
And he's a friend of mine.

907
00:42:02,267 --> 00:42:04,569
So I told him
he could have this posting.

908
00:42:04,602 --> 00:42:07,772
He's a great guy,
you're gonna love him,

909
00:42:07,805 --> 00:42:10,075
and I'll be out of your hair
by the end of the day.

910
00:42:11,376 --> 00:42:13,278
Okay.

911
00:42:14,446 --> 00:42:16,381
Okay.

912
00:42:18,283 --> 00:42:19,451
Wait.

913
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,424
I never really said thank you
for what you did.

914
00:42:27,825 --> 00:42:29,094
You saved the ship.

915
00:42:29,127 --> 00:42:31,796
I was just doing my job.

916
00:42:34,499 --> 00:42:38,770
You were always better at
solving my problems than I was.

917
00:42:38,803 --> 00:42:43,241
You were
always wise.

918
00:42:43,275 --> 00:42:46,911
Well...
thank you for saying that.

919
00:42:50,115 --> 00:42:52,350
Kelly.

920
00:42:54,286 --> 00:42:58,456
I'm asking you to stay.

921
00:43:00,458 --> 00:43:01,893
Really?

922
00:43:01,926 --> 00:43:04,096
You're one hell of an XO,

923
00:43:04,129 --> 00:43:07,932
and I think you'd make
a fine addition to this crew.

924
00:43:07,966 --> 00:43:11,003
A-And you're not concerned

925
00:43:11,036 --> 00:43:13,905
about the other stuff?

926
00:43:13,938 --> 00:43:15,974
We'll figure it out.

927
00:43:19,144 --> 00:43:20,778
Welcome to the Orville,

928
00:43:20,812 --> 00:43:22,814
Commander Grayson.

929
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:35,760
(door chimes)

930
00:43:35,793 --> 00:43:36,961
Come in.

931
00:43:38,796 --> 00:43:40,098
Commander Grayson, have a seat.

932
00:43:40,132 --> 00:43:41,533
I can't stay long.

933
00:43:41,566 --> 00:43:44,202
I just wanted to say thank you.

934
00:43:45,470 --> 00:43:47,005
For trusting me.

935
00:43:47,039 --> 00:43:51,009
Your father and I were close.
I owed him one.

936
00:43:51,043 --> 00:43:54,979
Regardless, it looks like
you were right about Ed.

937
00:43:55,013 --> 00:43:57,982
You made a hell of a plea
for us to give him that command.

938
00:43:58,016 --> 00:44:00,552
Honestly, I don't think
we would've done it otherwise.

939
00:44:00,585 --> 00:44:02,554
I know.

940
00:44:02,587 --> 00:44:05,890
But he's a smart officer who
just had a little rough patch.

941
00:44:05,923 --> 00:44:06,891
Does he know?

942
00:44:06,924 --> 00:44:08,126
No.

943
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,062
And I plan on keeping it
that way.

944
00:44:10,095 --> 00:44:14,066
Well... he's lucky
to have you on his side.

945
00:44:14,099 --> 00:44:15,867
Thank you.

946
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:18,036
Take care, Admiral.

947
00:44:20,605 --> 00:44:23,575
(door whooshes open)

948
00:44:23,608 --> 00:44:24,876
