00:08:20,781 --> 00:08:22,916
Oh, dig it. Boom.

174
00:08:24,617 --> 00:08:27,187
All right, uh,
Lieutenant Commander Bortus,

175
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:29,356
our second officer.

176
00:08:29,389 --> 00:08:31,759
You know, I've never met
a single-gender species before.

177
00:08:31,792 --> 00:08:33,827
Your entire species
is male, isn't it?

178
00:08:33,861 --> 00:08:35,428
That is correct, sir.

179
00:08:35,462 --> 00:08:37,931
So, there's probably not
a lot of arguments about...

180
00:08:37,965 --> 00:08:41,101
leaving the toilet seat up and
that kind of thing, right? No.

181
00:08:41,134 --> 00:08:43,771
Moclans urinate
only once per year.

182
00:08:43,804 --> 00:08:45,572
Really? That's...

183
00:08:45,605 --> 00:08:47,741
Me, I'm-I'm up two,
three times a night.

184
00:08:47,775 --> 00:08:49,709
That is unfortunate.

185
00:08:51,211 --> 00:08:52,780
It is.

186
00:08:52,813 --> 00:08:54,581
Dr. Claire Finn.

187
00:08:54,614 --> 00:08:56,516
You're my chief
medical officer, yes?

188
00:08:56,549 --> 00:08:58,185
Yes, sir, I am.
Welcome aboard.

189
00:08:58,218 --> 00:09:00,687
Your credentials
are exceptional.

190
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,389
"Molecular surgery,
DNA engineering,

191
00:09:02,422 --> 00:09:04,257
psychiatry." You could be
posted on a heavy cruiser.

192
00:09:04,291 --> 00:09:05,592
What are you doing
on the Orville?

193
00:09:05,625 --> 00:09:07,727
I always request
my transfers

194
00:09:07,761 --> 00:09:09,296
based on where I think
I'm needed.

195
00:09:09,329 --> 00:09:11,198
I feel more stimulated that way.

196
00:09:11,231 --> 00:09:12,933
And so what made you
request this ship?

197
00:09:12,966 --> 00:09:15,368
Well, this is
your first command, and

198
00:09:15,402 --> 00:09:16,870
I think you could use my help.

199
00:09:16,904 --> 00:09:19,206
So you think I might screw up.

200
00:09:19,239 --> 00:09:20,908
No, sir, I didn't say that, sir.

201
00:09:20,941 --> 00:09:22,409
Well, no, but you implied
that you don't think

202
00:09:22,442 --> 00:09:24,044
I have the balls to do this job.

203
00:09:24,077 --> 00:09:25,612
Well, I am your doctor, sir,

204
00:09:25,645 --> 00:09:28,115
and if your balls are under par,
I'll know.

205
00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:29,983
(chuckles)
All right.

206
00:09:30,017 --> 00:09:31,785
And finally, Isaac,

207
00:09:31,819 --> 00:09:33,453
our science and
engineering officer,

208
00:09:33,486 --> 00:09:35,889
hailing from Kaylon 1.

209
00:09:35,923 --> 00:09:37,224
Affirmative, sir.

210
00:09:37,257 --> 00:09:38,792
You know, I got to tell you,
I was surprised

211
00:09:38,826 --> 00:09:40,660
to see any Kaylon serving
in the fleet.

212
00:09:40,693 --> 00:09:44,497
Aren't you guys
legendarily racist?

213
00:09:44,531 --> 00:09:47,734
My planet regards humans
and other biological life-forms

214
00:09:47,767 --> 00:09:49,837
as inferior,
if that is your inference.

215
00:09:49,870 --> 00:09:51,404
Oh, that's great.
Thanks.

216
00:09:51,438 --> 00:09:52,772
You are welcome.

217
00:09:52,806 --> 00:09:54,241
So what are you doing
on a Union ship?

218
00:09:54,274 --> 00:09:56,476
Your fleet's admiralty
offered a posting

219
00:09:56,509 --> 00:09:58,111
to any Kaylon willing
to take it.

220
00:09:58,145 --> 00:09:59,847
As an effort to
initiate relations

221
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,682
between Kaylon and
the Union, we accepted.

222
00:10:02,715 --> 00:10:04,784
I was chosen to
represent my planet.

223
00:10:04,818 --> 00:10:08,521
I see it as an ideal opportunity
to study human behavior.

224
00:10:08,555 --> 00:10:11,324
Well, we'll, uh... we'll
try not to bore you.

225
00:10:11,358 --> 00:10:14,127
You will find me
to be your most capable officer.

226
00:10:14,161 --> 00:10:17,097
All right, everybody settle in.

227
00:10:17,130 --> 00:10:19,032
We ship out
this afternoon.

228
00:10:27,674 --> 00:10:29,342
(knock on door)

229
00:10:29,376 --> 00:10:30,443
Hey, what's up?

230
00:10:30,477 --> 00:10:32,445
Hey, man, come on in.

231
00:10:32,479 --> 00:10:33,613
Figured I'd introduce myself
since we're gonna be working

232
00:10:33,646 --> 00:10:35,148
full shifts together.

233
00:10:35,182 --> 00:10:37,550
Translation: you want to
make sure I'm not a jerk.

234
00:10:37,584 --> 00:10:38,785
Something like that.

235
00:10:38,818 --> 00:10:41,154
Dude, I'm such a jerk,
it's ridiculous.

236
00:10:41,188 --> 00:10:43,023
Okay, well, so am I,
so this is gonna work out great.

237
00:10:43,056 --> 00:10:44,724
Gordon Malloy.
John Lamarr.

238
00:10:44,757 --> 00:10:46,459
Cool.

239
00:10:46,493 --> 00:10:48,695
So, I heard you've been out
of commission for a minute.

240
00:10:48,728 --> 00:10:50,998
Well, not out of commission,
but, uh,

241
00:10:51,031 --> 00:10:53,901
definitely kept on desk duty.
Well, what'd you do?

242
00:10:53,934 --> 00:10:56,403
I mean, your piloting skills
are kind of legendary.

243
00:10:56,436 --> 00:10:57,704
How'd you get suspended?

244
00:10:57,737 --> 00:10:59,172
I let my cousin shoot a porno

245
00:10:59,206 --> 00:11:01,474
in the back of a shuttle
in exchange for some pills.

246
00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:04,211
W-Wait. No. R-Really?

247
00:11:04,244 --> 00:11:07,214
(laughs):
Man, look at your face.

248
00:11:07,247 --> 00:11:08,882
No, no, no, I did a,
I did a manual override

249
00:11:08,916 --> 00:11:10,383
on a tricky shuttle docking

250
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:12,419
and sheared off
a cargo bay door.

251
00:11:12,452 --> 00:11:14,721
Yeah, nobody was hurt,
but 300 crates

252
00:11:14,754 --> 00:11:17,257
of authentic autumn squash
were sucked into space.

253
00:11:17,290 --> 00:11:19,092
Well, that's a lot
of damn squash.

254
00:11:19,126 --> 00:11:21,094
Yeah. I was trying
to impress a girl.

255
00:11:21,128 --> 00:11:22,495
Ah, I can respect that.

256
00:11:22,529 --> 00:11:24,097
Needless to say it didn't
go over too well.

257
00:11:24,131 --> 00:11:25,899
If it weren't for Ed,
I probably wouldn't

258
00:11:25,933 --> 00:11:28,835
be back at the helm for a lot
longer than this, if ever.

259
00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:30,904
Well, just steer with your head
from now on,

260
00:11:30,938 --> 00:11:32,239
and you'll be okay.

261
00:11:32,272 --> 00:11:33,273
Yeah.

262
00:11:33,306 --> 00:11:36,243
See you on the bridge.

263
00:11:45,652 --> 00:11:47,420
HALSEY: I wish I could give you
something more exciting

264
00:11:47,454 --> 00:11:49,923
for your maiden voyage,
but it's pretty straightforward.

265
00:11:49,957 --> 00:11:51,258
You'll be delivering supplies

266
00:11:51,291 --> 00:11:53,860
to the science station
on Epsilon 2.

267
00:11:53,893 --> 00:11:55,228
Hey, sir, I'm not
complaining.

268
00:11:55,262 --> 00:11:56,896
It'll be great
just to be out there.

269
00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:59,599
Uh, is there any word yet
on a first officer?

270
00:11:59,632 --> 00:12:01,868
I should have an update
in a few hours.

271
00:12:01,901 --> 00:12:04,537
Sounds like you won't have
to wait much longer.

272
00:12:04,571 --> 00:12:06,974
Safe travels, Captain.

273
00:12:09,242 --> 00:12:10,277
Captain.

274
00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:27,260
Captain, we've received
the green light

275
00:12:27,294 --> 00:12:30,597
from dockyard tower, and
we're cleared for departure.

276
00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:31,931
Tell them we're good to go.

277
00:12:31,965 --> 00:12:35,268
Lieutenant Malloy, take us out.

278
00:12:35,302 --> 00:12:38,005
Aye, sir.
Departing dockyard.

279
00:13:07,134 --> 00:13:09,069
♪

280
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,262
♪

281
00:13:45,205 --> 00:13:49,008
Dockyard perimeter cleared.

282
00:13:51,044 --> 00:13:54,847
Set course for Epsilon
and engage quantum drive.

283
00:13:54,881 --> 00:13:58,285
Course set, drive engaged.

284
00:14:12,565 --> 00:14:15,668
ETA: 19 hours, 51 minutes.

285
00:14:15,702 --> 00:14:17,337
I've never been to
the Epsilon Science Station.

286
00:14:17,370 --> 00:14:19,072
What's it like? BORTUS:
Epsilon 2 is an outpost

287
00:14:19,106 --> 00:14:21,908
devoted exclusively
to scientific inquiry.

288
00:14:21,941 --> 00:14:23,410
ED:
Researchers

289
00:14:23,443 --> 00:14:25,678
from all over the galaxy
petition to work there.

290
00:14:25,712 --> 00:14:28,181
Really? Wow.

291
00:14:28,215 --> 00:14:29,249
Any good bars?

292
00:14:29,282 --> 00:14:30,617
I will investigate.

293
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:32,685
No, Bortus, you don't have
to investigate that.

294
00:14:32,719 --> 00:14:34,587
I have already obtained
the information.

295
00:14:34,621 --> 00:14:36,356
Oh.
Shall I withhold it?

296
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:37,424
No, you can tell us.

297
00:14:37,457 --> 00:14:38,691
There are no bars.

298
00:14:38,725 --> 00:14:39,959
How about strip clubs?

299
00:14:39,992 --> 00:14:41,128
Gordon.
Sorry.

300
00:14:41,161 --> 00:14:42,295
There are no strip clubs.

301
00:14:42,329 --> 00:14:44,297
Captain, there's a message
coming in

302
00:14:44,331 --> 00:14:45,598
from Admiral Halsey.

303
00:14:45,632 --> 00:14:47,134
It says that
an executive officer

304
00:14:47,167 --> 00:14:48,701
has become available
and can rendezvous

305
00:14:48,735 --> 00:14:51,371
with the Orville
at station 794.

306
00:14:51,404 --> 00:14:53,039
That's great.
That's barely out of our way.

307
00:14:53,072 --> 00:14:54,541
Who is it?

308
00:14:54,574 --> 00:14:57,977
He wants me to forward it
to you privately.

309
00:14:58,010 --> 00:15:00,980
All right, send it
to my station.

310
00:15:04,351 --> 00:15:05,585
No.

311
00:15:05,618 --> 00:15:07,220
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

312
00:15:07,254 --> 00:15:09,222
What's the matter?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

313
00:15:09,256 --> 00:15:12,792
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

314
00:15:12,825 --> 00:15:15,328
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

315
00:15:15,362 --> 00:15:17,664
Ah, crap!
Sorry, man, you okay?

316
00:15:17,697 --> 00:15:18,931
Yeah, it's all good, man.
You okay?

317
00:15:18,965 --> 00:15:20,633
Yeah, all good. Sorry.
All right, no worries.

318
00:15:22,001 --> 00:15:24,437
Calm down, Ed, and be
professional about this.

319
00:15:24,471 --> 00:15:25,672
Oh, please,
there is nothing at all

320
00:15:25,705 --> 00:15:27,440
professional
about this situation.

321
00:15:27,474 --> 00:15:28,841
Okay, this is my ex-wife,

322
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:30,443
who I have not seen
since my divorce

323
00:15:30,477 --> 00:15:33,346
a year ago after I walked in on
her banging a Retepsian.

324
00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:35,081
I know this isn't ideal,

325
00:15:35,114 --> 00:15:36,749
but she's the only qualified
XO available.

326
00:15:36,783 --> 00:15:38,985
And the staff profile
compatibility program

327
00:15:39,018 --> 00:15:41,821
indicated your skill sets
complement hers.

328
00:15:41,854 --> 00:15:44,123
Oh, it did? See if your
compatibility program

329
00:15:44,157 --> 00:15:45,958
can get blue
out of a white lampshade.

330
00:15:45,992 --> 00:15:47,827
Ed, you need
to calm yourself here.

331
00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:49,462
God, I can't even believe
this is happening.

332
00:15:49,496 --> 00:15:50,963
Look, she is the only
current option,

333
00:15:50,997 --> 00:15:52,865
and if you make a stink
about an XO assignment

334
00:15:52,899 --> 00:15:55,435
one day into your first command,

335
00:15:55,468 --> 00:15:56,603
with your record,

336
00:15:56,636 --> 00:15:58,305
it's not gonna look good.

337
00:15:58,338 --> 00:16:00,173
And you're telling me
she's okay with this?

338
00:16:00,207 --> 00:16:01,908
Ed, she requested it.

339
00:16:31,238 --> 00:16:32,805
(console beeps)

340
00:16:32,839 --> 00:16:34,407
Sir, Shuttle Bay reports

341
00:16:34,441 --> 00:16:37,043
the XO's shuttle has docked.

342
00:16:37,076 --> 00:16:38,077
Can you tell her to come
straight to my office?

343
00:16:38,110 --> 00:16:40,580
Aye, sir.

344
00:16:40,613 --> 00:16:42,249
The captain does not
appear to be pleased

345
00:16:42,282 --> 00:16:44,717
at the arrival
of his first officer.

346
00:16:44,751 --> 00:16:45,752
Why is this?

347
00:16:45,785 --> 00:16:47,254
'Cause she's a total bitch.

348
00:16:47,287 --> 00:16:48,255
Do you know her?

349
00:16:48,288 --> 00:16:50,390
Oh, yeah.
They were married.

350
00:16:50,423 --> 00:16:51,658
No way.

351
00:16:51,691 --> 00:16:53,760
She cheated on him.
Aw, damn, that's cold.

352
00:16:53,793 --> 00:16:56,229
Yeah, so this should be
a really fun trip for all of us.

353
00:16:56,263 --> 00:16:57,897
Your description
of the occurrence

354
00:16:57,930 --> 00:16:59,599
indicates unpleasantness,

355
00:16:59,632 --> 00:17:01,734
yet you believe it will be fun.

356
00:17:01,768 --> 00:17:04,103
I was being sarcastic.
It's gonna suck.

357
00:17:04,136 --> 00:17:07,440
Suck? Yeah, suck. You
know, like, ass, balls.

358
00:17:07,474 --> 00:17:09,376
What he means is,
if you don't already drink,

359
00:17:09,409 --> 00:17:10,877
you should probably start.

360
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:12,712
Perhaps we should not
be talking about this.

361
00:17:12,745 --> 00:17:14,347
Oh, no, no, no, we're,
we're talking about this.

362
00:17:14,381 --> 00:17:15,748
It does not seem
appropriate.

363
00:17:15,782 --> 00:17:16,849
Oh, no, we're definitely
talking about it.

364
00:17:16,883 --> 00:17:18,585
Th-Th-This is a thing.

365
00:17:21,321 --> 00:17:23,122
(door chimes)

366
00:17:25,224 --> 00:17:27,627
(sighs) Come in.

367
00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:31,798
Hi.

368
00:17:31,831 --> 00:17:34,367
Hi.

369
00:17:34,401 --> 00:17:36,303
Can I come in?

370
00:17:40,807 --> 00:17:42,409
It's a nice office.

371
00:17:42,442 --> 00:17:44,043
Thank you.

372
00:17:44,076 --> 00:17:45,211
Did you pick out the furniture?

373
00:17:45,244 --> 00:17:46,813
You know, I didn't,
but if you're really

374
00:17:46,846 --> 00:17:48,581
interested in the furniture,
I'd be happy to get

375
00:17:48,615 --> 00:17:50,082
all the information
I can about it.

376
00:17:50,116 --> 00:17:51,618
I could have somebody
compile a full report

377
00:17:51,651 --> 00:17:53,720
and have it sent to your
quarters this afternoon.

378
00:17:53,753 --> 00:17:56,122
Maybe you'd find something nice
for your new apartment.

379
00:17:56,155 --> 00:17:57,290
Are you all finished?

380
00:17:57,324 --> 00:17:58,658
Well, you know, I thought I was,

381
00:17:58,691 --> 00:18:01,160
but, apparently, you're not.

382
00:18:01,193 --> 00:18:04,096
Ed...

383
00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:06,232
I can't apologize enough.

384
00:18:06,265 --> 00:18:08,267
I know it doesn't
matter to you,

385
00:18:08,301 --> 00:18:10,403
but I-I am sorrier
for what I did to you

386
00:18:10,437 --> 00:18:12,572
than anything I've ever
done in my entire life.

387
00:18:12,605 --> 00:18:13,940
You know, I've done

388
00:18:13,973 --> 00:18:16,676
a pretty good job
getting over all this

389
00:18:16,709 --> 00:18:18,611
in the past year,

390
00:18:18,645 --> 00:18:21,748
and I'm over it,
so why don't you tell me

391
00:18:21,781 --> 00:18:22,949
what the hell you're doing here?

392
00:18:22,982 --> 00:18:24,917
I heard about
your promotion.

393
00:18:24,951 --> 00:18:26,919
I also heard there was
no XO available,

394
00:18:26,953 --> 00:18:29,088
and you know how the
fleet admirals are.

395
00:18:29,121 --> 00:18:31,424
They don't like to see a captain
on his own for too long.

396
00:18:31,458 --> 00:18:35,662
And I figured
I'd wronged you so badly

397
00:18:35,695 --> 00:18:38,097
that if there was something
good I could do for you,

398
00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:40,333
it'd help me atone in some way.

399
00:18:40,367 --> 00:18:42,535
So I requested a transfer.

400
00:18:42,569 --> 00:18:44,704
I literally bailed on my own
crewmates to come here.

401
00:18:44,737 --> 00:18:46,172
Well, you bailed
on a whole marriage,

402
00:18:46,205 --> 00:18:48,107
so I imagine that was
a piece of cake for you, huh?

403
00:18:48,140 --> 00:18:49,876
Ed, look, I'm not saying
what I did wasn't disgraceful,

404
00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:51,878
but I only did it
because I didn't have you.

405
00:18:51,911 --> 00:18:54,847
(laughs): There it is.
How long did that take you?

406
00:18:54,881 --> 00:18:57,350
How many minutes into this conversation?
You were working nonstop.

407
00:18:57,384 --> 00:18:58,785
Okay, there were
entire days

408
00:18:58,818 --> 00:19:00,387
I wouldn't see you.
Yeah, I was working for us,

409
00:19:00,420 --> 00:19:02,655
Kelly, for you and I.
That-- you know this.

410
00:19:02,689 --> 00:19:04,323
I didn't ask you to do that.

411
00:19:04,357 --> 00:19:05,892
Okay? Y-You just shut off
from our relationship.

412
00:19:05,925 --> 00:19:07,394
I-I didn't know
how to handle it.

413
00:19:07,427 --> 00:19:09,128
So you banged Papa Smurf
in our bed.

414
00:19:09,161 --> 00:19:11,130
That's one way to handle it. Darulio
was there when you weren't.

415
00:19:11,163 --> 00:19:12,331
And you know how
many times I tried

416
00:19:12,365 --> 00:19:13,800
to talk to you, but you just
kept putting me off?

417
00:19:13,833 --> 00:19:15,134
Whe-When did you try
to talk to me?

418
00:19:15,167 --> 00:19:16,969
So many times. Where it
wasn't, like, an insidious,

419
00:19:17,003 --> 00:19:18,237
subtle, sarcastic...
Either you weren't hearing me

420
00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:19,706
or you weren't around
at all, but I did try.

421
00:19:19,739 --> 00:19:20,707
I was the one who suggested
couples counseling.

422
00:19:20,740 --> 00:19:21,808
Couples counseling?

423
00:19:21,841 --> 00:19:23,242
The therapist was
your brother-in-law.

424
00:19:23,275 --> 00:19:26,413
Look, this-- okay-- this ship

425
00:19:26,446 --> 00:19:28,915
is what I've been waiting for
my entire career.

426
00:19:28,948 --> 00:19:30,750
My entire life.

427
00:19:30,783 --> 00:19:32,585
So why are you doing this to me?

428
00:19:34,454 --> 00:19:37,424
As soon as another XO
becomes available,

429
00:19:37,457 --> 00:19:39,291
I'll be the one
to request a transfer.

430
00:19:45,131 --> 00:19:47,099
(door whooshes open)

431
00:20:07,286 --> 00:20:09,789
Whoa, hey.

432
00:20:09,822 --> 00:20:11,458
Hi there.

433
00:20:11,491 --> 00:20:14,594
I was just on my
way to the john.

434
00:20:14,627 --> 00:20:17,129
Well, I'm-I'm glad
I bumped into you.

435
00:20:17,163 --> 00:20:18,431
Do you have a second?

436
00:20:18,465 --> 00:20:20,266
Sure. I can hold it.

437
00:20:20,299 --> 00:20:23,936
Okay. Gordon, I just want to make sure...
You know what?

438
00:20:23,970 --> 00:20:26,439
You should probably call
me Lieutenant Malloy,

439
00:20:26,473 --> 00:20:29,576
seeing as how you're
my boss now... sir.

440
00:20:29,609 --> 00:20:32,411
Right. Lieutenant.

441
00:20:32,445 --> 00:20:33,480
I just want to
make sure that

442
00:20:33,513 --> 00:20:35,582
everything's all right
between us.

443
00:20:35,615 --> 00:20:37,450
I mean, I'm assuming that
you and Ed are still close.

444
00:20:37,484 --> 00:20:38,618
Yeah.

445
00:20:38,651 --> 00:20:42,254
Yeah, and...

446
00:20:42,288 --> 00:20:45,424
what happened between Ed and I,
that-- it was a mistake.

447
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:48,427
A big one.
And, um,

448
00:20:48,461 --> 00:20:50,262
I guess I just want to know
that you're gonna be okay

449
00:20:50,296 --> 00:20:51,598
taking orders from me.

450
00:20:51,631 --> 00:20:53,265
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, no, no.

451
00:20:53,299 --> 00:20:55,267
I'm a professional,
don't worry about that.

452
00:20:55,301 --> 00:20:56,636
That's good to hear.

453
00:20:56,669 --> 00:20:58,137
Actually, the folks
up on the bridge

454
00:20:58,170 --> 00:20:59,506
were asking
about you earlier,

455
00:20:59,539 --> 00:21:01,273
and I was telling them
you're actually

456
00:21:01,307 --> 00:21:03,776
a really cool person.
Really?

457
00:21:03,810 --> 00:21:06,813
I kind of primed the pump
for you up there, you know.

458
00:21:06,846 --> 00:21:08,247
All good vibes.

459
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,416
That's very magnanimous
of you.

460
00:21:10,449 --> 00:21:14,020
I got you.
I got you.

461
00:21:14,053 --> 00:21:15,488
(sighs)

462
00:21:15,522 --> 00:21:18,457
So, um,
permission to pee?

463
00:21:18,491 --> 00:21:20,126
Oh. (chuckles):
Granted, yes.

464
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:22,294
Sweet, sweet.

465
00:21:22,328 --> 00:21:24,964
Hey, I'm gonna go look up
what "magnanimous" means.

466
00:21:24,997 --> 00:21:27,333
Great.
Great.

467
00:21:27,366 --> 00:21:29,001
I mean, pee first, though.

468
00:21:29,035 --> 00:21:30,169
Priorities.

469
00:21:30,202 --> 00:21:32,505
(laughing):
You know it.

470
00:21:36,809 --> 00:21:39,712
♪

471
00:21:53,159 --> 00:21:55,528
Entering orbit
of Epsilon 2.

472
00:21:55,562 --> 00:21:56,729
Lieutenant Kitan,

473
00:21:56,763 --> 00:21:58,030
signal them we're ready.

474
00:21:58,064 --> 00:21:59,398
ALARA:
Aye, Commander.

475
00:21:59,431 --> 00:22:02,134
Man, you could cut
the tension with a knife.

476
00:22:02,168 --> 00:22:03,736
Do not make eye contact.

477
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:05,204
Orville to Epsilon
Science Station.

478
00:22:05,237 --> 00:22:08,541
We're here and ready
to bring down supplies.

479
00:22:08,575 --> 00:22:09,742
Orville, this is Dr. Aronov.

480
00:22:09,776 --> 00:22:11,043
I am chief of this facility.

481
00:22:11,077 --> 00:22:12,211
May I speak to your captain?

482
00:22:12,244 --> 00:22:13,479
Put him on the viewer.

483
00:22:13,512 --> 00:22:16,415
Dr. Aronov, this is
Captain Ed Mercer.

484
00:22:16,448 --> 00:22:18,585
We're about to start
sending down your supplies.

485
00:22:18,618 --> 00:22:22,655
Actually, Captain,
we-we don't need any supplies.

486
00:22:22,689 --> 00:22:24,591
I-I don't understand.

487
00:22:24,624 --> 00:22:25,992
You requested these
supplies yourself, yeah?

488
00:22:26,025 --> 00:22:27,159
I did.

489
00:22:27,193 --> 00:22:28,427
I'm sorry.

490
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:30,262
I-I wouldn't have lied
unless I had to.

491
00:22:30,296 --> 00:22:32,264
Please, come down
to the surface.

492
00:22:32,298 --> 00:22:34,233
I will explain everything.

493
00:22:34,266 --> 00:22:35,902
This is really strange.

494
00:22:35,935 --> 00:22:37,403
Yeah, it's a great way
to start things off.

495
00:22:37,436 --> 00:22:38,905
Bortus, you have the conn.

496
00:22:38,938 --> 00:22:40,106
Lieutenant,
you're with us.

497
00:22:40,139 --> 00:22:41,540
You see that dog
in the background

498
00:22:41,574 --> 00:22:42,775
licking his balls?

499
00:22:42,809 --> 00:22:44,611
First thing I saw.

500
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:10,603
MAN: Prepare for Orville
shuttle arrival, Bay 3.

501
00:23:17,276 --> 00:23:18,544
Captain Mercer.

502
00:23:18,577 --> 00:23:19,646
Welcome to Epsilon 2.

503
00:23:19,679 --> 00:23:21,380
Thank you for coming.
Dr. Aronov.

504
00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:23,816
This is my security
chief, Alara Kitan. Hi.

505
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:26,585
My chief medical officer, Claire Finn.
Pleasure.

506
00:23:26,619 --> 00:23:28,220
And my ex-wife,
Kelly Grayson.

507
00:23:28,254 --> 00:23:29,622
I'm his first officer.

508
00:23:29,656 --> 00:23:30,757
Ah.

509
00:23:30,790 --> 00:23:32,224
But if any of your
research team

510
00:23:32,258 --> 00:23:33,993
needs an artless,
jabby-nail shoulder massage,

511
00:23:34,026 --> 00:23:35,494
she's the best there is.

512
00:23:35,527 --> 00:23:37,664
Doctor, you want to tell us
why you falsely diverted

513
00:23:37,697 --> 00:23:39,298
a starship on active duty?

514
00:23:39,331 --> 00:23:41,000
You know you could
do time for that.

515
00:23:41,033 --> 00:23:42,234
We need protection.

516
00:23:42,268 --> 00:23:43,569
Protection from what?

517
00:23:43,602 --> 00:23:44,804
The Krill.

518
00:23:44,837 --> 00:23:46,806
There have been no Krill
ships sighted in this area.

519
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,008
Come inside. I'll explain.

520
00:23:58,350 --> 00:23:59,318
(indistinct voice
over P.A. system)

521
00:23:59,351 --> 00:24:01,921
Wow. No wonder
they call this place

522
00:24:01,954 --> 00:24:03,522
the scientists'
playground.

523
00:24:03,555 --> 00:24:05,758
Incredible, isn't it?
Yeah.

524
00:24:05,792 --> 00:24:08,627
Here. Follow me through
the botany lab.

525
00:24:13,733 --> 00:24:16,202
We're doing genetic research
and development here

526
00:24:16,235 --> 00:24:17,636
that will change
the face of the galaxy.

527
00:24:24,576 --> 00:24:25,745
(shouts)

528
00:24:26,913 --> 00:24:29,448
(chirping)

529
00:24:29,481 --> 00:24:30,883
Is that one of
your projects?

530
00:24:30,917 --> 00:24:33,185
No, no, that's Dr. Jorvik,
our chief botanist.

531
00:24:33,219 --> 00:24:34,821
Keep up, please.

532
00:24:39,091 --> 00:24:41,227
What sort of research
are you doing here?

533
00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:43,062
Oh, well, uh...

534
00:24:43,095 --> 00:24:44,697
this is a redwood seed.

535
00:24:44,731 --> 00:24:46,799
Looks pretty ordinary, yes?
KELLY: Sure.

536
00:24:46,833 --> 00:24:50,169
Well, this seed has been
genetically engineered

537
00:24:50,202 --> 00:24:51,738
with tardigrade DNA,

538
00:24:51,771 --> 00:24:54,406
which means it can survive
and grow in anything.

539
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,075
Rock, metal, sand.

540
00:24:56,108 --> 00:24:58,044
It can exist a hundred
years without water.

541
00:24:58,077 --> 00:25:00,046
You can toss this seed in
the middle of the Sahara,

542
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,581
and in a century you'll
have a towering redwood.

543
00:25:02,614 --> 00:25:04,483
That's really impressive.

544
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:06,418
And as a bonus,
a healthy snack.

545
00:25:06,452 --> 00:25:07,653
Here, try some.

546
00:25:07,686 --> 00:25:08,721
(Mercer sighs)

547
00:25:11,223 --> 00:25:12,759
Yeah, it's very tasty.

548
00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:16,328
Listen, Dr. Aronov,
why are we here?

549
00:25:16,362 --> 00:25:19,866
I couldn't tell you the real
reason we needed a Union ship

550
00:25:19,899 --> 00:25:21,567
because I couldn't risk

551
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,070
divulging the information
over open communications.

552
00:25:24,103 --> 00:25:26,072
This way.

553
00:25:26,105 --> 00:25:28,440
(sighs)

554
00:25:36,148 --> 00:25:40,086
This is Janice Lee, one of our
most brilliant young physicists.

555
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Hello.
Hi.

556
00:25:41,553 --> 00:25:44,256
Janice has been experimenting
with temporal fields

557
00:25:44,290 --> 00:25:46,092
and has made--
well, a breakthrough

558
00:25:46,125 --> 00:25:47,459
would be an understatement.

559
00:26:00,006 --> 00:26:03,075
So, it's
an anti-banana ray?

560
00:26:03,109 --> 00:26:04,376
It's really interesting.

561
00:26:04,410 --> 00:26:05,945
We need no longer
fear the banana.

562
00:26:05,978 --> 00:26:07,914
Does it work on all fruit?
What about salads?

563
00:26:07,947 --> 00:26:10,482
Do you understand what happened
to this banana?

564
00:26:10,516 --> 00:26:11,951
It's rotten

565
00:26:11,984 --> 00:26:13,786
because a month has passed.

566
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:14,954
Since we got here? Yeah,
that's what it feels like.

567
00:26:14,987 --> 00:26:16,388
LEE:
Captain Mercer,

568
00:26:16,422 --> 00:26:18,590
this banana is suspended
in a quantum bubble

569
00:26:18,624 --> 00:26:20,592
that can be adjusted
to accelerate time.

570
00:26:20,626 --> 00:26:22,962
Out here only a few
moments have passed.

571
00:26:22,995 --> 00:26:26,132
Inside the bubble, it's
a month in the future.

572
00:26:26,165 --> 00:26:27,766
Does it work in
both directions?

573
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,568
Like, could somebody use it
to go backward in time

574
00:26:29,601 --> 00:26:30,803
and tell their younger self

575
00:26:30,837 --> 00:26:32,304
not to make
a terrible life decision?

576
00:26:32,338 --> 00:26:33,973
Hey, will you give it a rest
for, like, five minutes?

577
00:26:34,006 --> 00:26:35,674
No, I didn't mean that-that...
I know what you meant.

578
00:26:35,707 --> 00:26:36,909
No, I just meant,
like, tell yourself

579
00:26:36,943 --> 00:26:38,510
not to break your leg
in that fall

580
00:26:38,544 --> 00:26:40,012
or don't eat too many carbs

581
00:26:40,046 --> 00:26:42,748
or-or don't get married,
but is that how it works?

582
00:26:42,781 --> 00:26:43,983
No, the field
can only accelerate

583
00:26:44,016 --> 00:26:45,417
the forward pace of time.

584
00:26:45,451 --> 00:26:46,919
Captain...

585
00:26:46,953 --> 00:26:48,254
we have figured out a way

586
00:26:48,287 --> 00:26:49,755
to use quantum field technology

587
00:26:49,788 --> 00:26:53,292
to manipulate
the speed of events.

588
00:26:53,325 --> 00:26:54,994
CLAIRE: Sir, I've read
about this hypothetical.

589
00:26:55,027 --> 00:26:57,429
Quantum field manipulation
of the flow of time

590
00:26:57,463 --> 00:26:59,331
is theoretically possible.

591
00:26:59,365 --> 00:27:02,101
Wait, so...
so you're serious?

592
00:27:02,134 --> 00:27:04,270
My God. ARONOV: Think
of the benefits.

593
00:27:04,303 --> 00:27:06,272
Entire crops grown
in the blink of an eye.

594
00:27:06,305 --> 00:27:07,806
Starving populations

595
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,775
supplied with limitless
amounts of food overnight.

596
00:27:09,808 --> 00:27:11,944
Life-threatening wounds
healed...

597
00:27:11,978 --> 00:27:13,980
(snaps fingers) ...instantly.
Or entire armies

598
00:27:14,013 --> 00:27:15,948
reduced to frail elders
instantly.

599
00:27:15,982 --> 00:27:18,284
You do realize this could
also be used as a weapon.

600
00:27:18,317 --> 00:27:19,518
That's why you're here.

601
00:27:19,551 --> 00:27:21,888
We couldn't risk sending
word to the Union fleet

602
00:27:21,921 --> 00:27:23,055
about what we'd discovered.

603
00:27:23,089 --> 00:27:24,323
If the Krill intercepted it,

604
00:27:24,356 --> 00:27:25,892
they could've been here
long before you.

605
00:27:25,925 --> 00:27:27,559
Well, we're only one ship
and not a big one,

606
00:27:27,593 --> 00:27:29,461
so we better get help.

607
00:27:29,495 --> 00:27:31,397
How fast does the field
of acceleration go?

608
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:33,900
How would you like to see
a 100-year-old banana?

609
00:27:33,933 --> 00:27:35,601
Watch this.

610
00:27:38,104 --> 00:27:39,571
Mercer to Bortus.

611
00:27:39,605 --> 00:27:40,873
Bortus here, sir.

612
00:27:40,907 --> 00:27:42,875
Get a coded message
to Union Central

613
00:27:42,909 --> 00:27:44,743
that Epsilon 2 is
in possession of a...

614
00:27:44,776 --> 00:27:47,579
Put down that
comscanner, Captain.

615
00:27:56,622 --> 00:27:58,991
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What
is this? What's going on?

616
00:27:59,025 --> 00:28:00,259
Put down that comscanner

617
00:28:00,292 --> 00:28:02,228
and drop all your
weapons now.

618
00:28:02,261 --> 00:28:03,362
Listen, I don't know
what you're trying to...

619
00:28:06,732 --> 00:28:08,434
Okay, okay, relax.

620
00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:09,568
Move.

621
00:28:09,601 --> 00:28:11,270
ARONOV: Derek, what
the hell are you doing?

622
00:28:11,303 --> 00:28:12,438
(whispering):
Oh, of course it's a Derek.

623
00:28:12,471 --> 00:28:13,605
Who is this man?

624
00:28:13,639 --> 00:28:15,107
Derek Ashton, he's
a lab technician.

625
00:28:15,141 --> 00:28:17,209
He's been here
over a year.

626
00:28:17,243 --> 00:28:18,945
I don't understand this.
Explain yourself.

627
00:28:18,978 --> 00:28:21,513
Ashton to Krill vessel.
It's time.

628
00:28:21,547 --> 00:28:23,115
Derek, listen to me.
Don't do this.

629
00:28:23,149 --> 00:28:24,050
Back off!

630
00:28:24,083 --> 00:28:25,985
(screaming)

631
00:28:31,723 --> 00:28:34,026
Back off! Back off.
Look, you...

632
00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:35,227
Stay back! Stay
where you are.

633
00:28:35,261 --> 00:28:36,528
Bortus to Captain Mercer.

634
00:28:36,562 --> 00:28:37,763
We've just detected

635
00:28:37,796 --> 00:28:39,298
a Krill destroyer
entering orbit.

636
00:28:49,908 --> 00:28:51,310
Raise deflector screens.

637
00:28:51,343 --> 00:28:52,278
Deflector screens up.

638
00:29:03,355 --> 00:29:06,758
Two Krill shuttles
are heading for the surface.

639
00:29:06,792 --> 00:29:09,595
Captain, there are Krill
soldiers heading down to you.

640
00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:11,430
Captain.

641
00:29:11,463 --> 00:29:12,731
God, there's no way

642
00:29:12,764 --> 00:29:15,067
we're gonna be out
by 5:00 today, are we?

643
00:29:15,101 --> 00:29:16,835
BORTUS:
Captain. Do you read?

644
00:29:16,868 --> 00:29:18,670
ASHTON:
Answer him.

645
00:29:18,704 --> 00:29:20,172
Tell him the Krill
come in peace

646
00:29:20,206 --> 00:29:21,940
and to stand down all weapons.
They won't believe me.

647
00:29:21,974 --> 00:29:22,941
Do it!
Listen, I...

648
00:29:22,975 --> 00:29:24,843
Do it now!
Okay.

649
00:29:24,876 --> 00:29:26,912
BORTUS:
Captain, do you read?

650
00:29:26,945 --> 00:29:28,414
Please respond.
Say something!

651
00:29:28,447 --> 00:29:29,982
Mercer to Bortus.

652
00:29:30,016 --> 00:29:32,251
The Krill are here in peace.
Uh...

653
00:29:32,284 --> 00:29:34,353
They just came down for...

654
00:29:34,386 --> 00:29:36,688
The lab is having a pizza party
and the Krill are invited.

655
00:29:36,722 --> 00:29:39,191
Oh, man, can we go? Oh, Bortus,
can we please go down there?

656
00:29:39,225 --> 00:29:40,692
Did you say...

657
00:29:40,726 --> 00:29:42,094
a pizza party?

658
00:29:42,128 --> 00:29:44,330
It's for office birthdays.

659
00:29:44,363 --> 00:29:46,532
Lot of September
birthdays down here.

660
00:29:47,966 --> 00:29:49,068
(grunts)

661
00:29:50,536 --> 00:29:52,038
Alara, good work.

662
00:29:52,071 --> 00:29:54,206
Bortus, the Krill
are here to attack.

663
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,841
Keep the weapons charged
and the deflectors up

664
00:29:55,874 --> 00:29:57,043
until we can get to you.

665
00:29:57,076 --> 00:29:58,677
There is no pizza party.
I repeat,

666
00:29:58,710 --> 00:30:00,446
there is no pizza party.

667
00:30:00,479 --> 00:30:02,681
She's dead.

668
00:30:02,714 --> 00:30:06,218
My God, she must be over 125 years old.
Dr. Aronov,

669
00:30:06,252 --> 00:30:08,620
we have to get the device back
to the Orville. What do we need?

670
00:30:08,654 --> 00:30:11,990
Detach the main generator
and grab the controller device.

671
00:30:20,699 --> 00:30:23,001
(soldier speaking Krill)

672
00:30:34,246 --> 00:30:35,747
BORTUS:
Orville to Krill ship.

673
00:30:35,781 --> 00:30:39,051
Call off your attack on the
surface or we will respond.

674
00:30:39,085 --> 00:30:40,786
The Krill are powering weapons.

675
00:30:48,894 --> 00:30:50,696
Deflectors are
at two-thirds power.

676
00:30:50,729 --> 00:30:51,897
Return fire.

677
00:30:56,602 --> 00:30:59,171
(speaks Krill)

678
00:30:59,205 --> 00:31:01,573
Back, back,
back, back, back.

679
00:31:01,607 --> 00:31:04,176
(people shouting)

680
00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:05,511
Doc, is there another way
out of here?

681
00:31:05,544 --> 00:31:06,578
There's an old
loading conduit,

682
00:31:06,612 --> 00:31:07,746
but it's across the atrium.

683
00:31:07,779 --> 00:31:09,248
We're gonna have
to sprint for it.

684
00:31:09,281 --> 00:31:10,749
All right, get ready.
Doc, stay behind Alara.

685
00:31:10,782 --> 00:31:11,850
Which one's Alara?

686
00:31:11,883 --> 00:31:13,252
Oh, I'm Alara.

687
00:31:13,285 --> 00:31:14,453
Sorry, still
learning names.

688
00:31:19,291 --> 00:31:20,759
Now.

689
00:31:22,994 --> 00:31:24,596
(shouts)

690
00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:25,764
(grunts)

691
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:29,067
(grunts)

692
00:31:49,288 --> 00:31:50,422
(beeping)

693
00:31:52,191 --> 00:31:54,126
Ka'vaska!

694
00:32:00,932 --> 00:32:02,134
Deflectors at half power.

695
00:32:02,168 --> 00:32:04,170
Sir, I think I can
buy us some time

696
00:32:04,203 --> 00:32:06,772
till we can get the landing
party back. Let me wing it here?

697
00:32:06,805 --> 00:32:08,006
Proceed.

698
00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:11,243
This is something I call
"hugging the donkey."

699
00:32:11,277 --> 00:32:12,844
You can hug the donkey?

700
00:32:12,878 --> 00:32:14,313
Dude, I've been hugging the
donkey since flight school.

701
00:32:27,793 --> 00:32:30,629
(whooping, laughing)

702
00:32:30,662 --> 00:32:32,464
Round and round she goes!

703
00:32:32,498 --> 00:32:33,499
Ha, ha!

704
00:32:46,412 --> 00:32:48,180
It's dead.

705
00:32:48,214 --> 00:32:49,615
(grunts)

706
00:32:49,648 --> 00:32:51,683
Door's jammed.

707
00:32:51,717 --> 00:32:54,820
Alara. You want to open
this jar of pickles for me?

708
00:32:59,090 --> 00:33:00,692
(grunts)

709
00:33:02,994 --> 00:33:05,531
I loosened it for you.

710
00:33:09,067 --> 00:33:10,402
(growls)

711
00:33:10,436 --> 00:33:12,238
Alara, get the device
back to the shuttle.

712
00:33:12,271 --> 00:33:14,573
We'll cover you.
Got it.

713
00:33:31,290 --> 00:33:32,491
(panting)

714
00:33:32,524 --> 00:33:34,260
Okay.

715
00:33:34,293 --> 00:33:36,228
(weapons firing in distance)

716
00:33:38,764 --> 00:33:40,632
(whirring)

717
00:33:44,270 --> 00:33:45,203
(growls)

718
00:33:49,241 --> 00:33:51,142
(groans)

719
00:33:54,145 --> 00:33:56,548
Everybody, strap in.

720
00:33:59,451 --> 00:34:00,786
Shuttle to Orville,
we're on our way.

721
00:34:09,261 --> 00:34:11,330
Captain, let me see
that shoulder.

722
00:34:12,731 --> 00:34:14,800
Does it hurt?
Yeah, it hurts like hell.

723
00:34:14,833 --> 00:34:16,435
That means it's not that bad.

724
00:34:16,468 --> 00:34:17,569
What are you talking about,
Kelly?

725
00:34:17,603 --> 00:34:19,305
I literally just said
it hurts like hell.

726
00:34:19,338 --> 00:34:21,106
When he's really in pain,
he gives straight answers

727
00:34:21,139 --> 00:34:22,374
with no cussing.

728
00:34:22,408 --> 00:34:23,809
He's just hoping
you give him drugs.

729
00:34:23,842 --> 00:34:25,544
That's a bunch of crap, Kelly.
I'm in real pain here.

730
00:34:25,577 --> 00:34:27,078
I... why, do you have drugs
on, on...? Did you...?

731
00:34:27,112 --> 00:34:28,113
Everything's on the ship.

732
00:34:31,817 --> 00:34:34,152
Approaching ionosphere,
adjusting attitude.

733
00:34:39,658 --> 00:34:41,460
Mercer to Bortus.

734
00:34:41,493 --> 00:34:42,961
Are you gonna be able
to cut the deflectors

735
00:34:42,994 --> 00:34:44,129
long enough for us
to get through?

736
00:34:44,162 --> 00:34:45,631
BORTUS:
It may not matter, sir.

737
00:34:45,664 --> 00:34:47,165
The deflectors are almost gone.

738
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:50,101
Oh, boy, that can't be good.

739
00:34:50,135 --> 00:34:51,470
They won't fire on us, they
know we have the device.

740
00:34:53,505 --> 00:34:56,808
Give me the device.

741
00:35:06,618 --> 00:35:08,019
Give me the device,

742
00:35:08,053 --> 00:35:11,457
and perhaps I will not harm you.

743
00:35:13,459 --> 00:35:15,527
(quietly):
All right, he's got a gun.

744
00:35:15,561 --> 00:35:17,195
But we have something better.

745
00:35:17,228 --> 00:35:18,364
What?

746
00:35:18,397 --> 00:35:19,698
Seat belts.

747
00:35:20,966 --> 00:35:22,167
(shouts)

748
00:35:28,139 --> 00:35:30,909
Deflectors are depleted.

749
00:35:44,089 --> 00:35:46,558
That was a piece
of the upper engine!

750
00:35:46,592 --> 00:35:48,193
We've lost helm control!

751
00:35:48,226 --> 00:35:50,228
Mercer to Orville,
we've lost navigational control

752
00:35:50,261 --> 00:35:52,398
and we're about 12 seconds
away from hitting you

753
00:35:52,431 --> 00:35:54,533
like a bug on a windshield.
Lieutenant,

754
00:35:54,566 --> 00:35:57,068
can you align the shuttle bay
doors with their trajectory?

755
00:35:57,102 --> 00:35:59,405
Sir, even if I was
the best helmsman in the galaxy,

756
00:35:59,438 --> 00:36:01,239
that's virtually impossible.

757
00:36:01,272 --> 00:36:03,975
If you can hug the donkey,

758
00:36:04,009 --> 00:36:05,777
you can do this.

759
00:36:07,946 --> 00:36:09,280
Come on, man, you got this.

760
00:36:10,281 --> 00:36:11,282
You can do it.

761
00:36:13,385 --> 00:36:16,221
It's like threading a needle
in a hurricane, but I'll try.

762
00:36:33,439 --> 00:36:35,006
(laughter, cheering)

763
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,408
Yes. (whoops) (exhales sharply)

764
00:36:36,442 --> 00:36:37,443
Well done, Lieutenant.

765
00:36:37,476 --> 00:36:38,744
Sir, since I pulled that off,

766
00:36:38,777 --> 00:36:40,245
can I please wear
shorts to work?

767
00:36:40,278 --> 00:36:42,914
I've already said no.
Return fire.

768
00:36:50,622 --> 00:36:53,291
Secure that Krill!

769
00:36:53,324 --> 00:36:55,026
KRILL COMMANDER:
Union vessel, surrender

770
00:36:55,060 --> 00:36:56,795
and prepare to be boarded.

771
00:36:59,831 --> 00:37:02,067
Upper and middle engines
are gone, Captain.

772
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:04,369
I have failed you.
Ship's in one piece, Bortus.

773
00:37:04,402 --> 00:37:06,137
I couldn't have done better.
Isaac.

774
00:37:06,171 --> 00:37:07,706
If I can buy
us some time,

775
00:37:07,739 --> 00:37:08,707
can you restore enough power
to the lower engine

776
00:37:08,740 --> 00:37:09,775
to get us out of here?

777
00:37:09,808 --> 00:37:11,276
I can try, sir.
Do it.

778
00:37:11,309 --> 00:37:14,112
Alara, hail the commander
of the Krill ship.

779
00:37:14,145 --> 00:37:15,413
Captain,
he's already signaling us.

780
00:37:15,447 --> 00:37:16,414
Put him on.

781
00:37:16,448 --> 00:37:17,549
Krill Commander,

782
00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:19,084
this is Captain Ed Mercer.

783
00:37:19,117 --> 00:37:21,152
Break off your attack,
and we can talk.

784
00:37:21,186 --> 00:37:23,989
Give me the device, human,

785
00:37:24,022 --> 00:37:26,992
or I will destroy your ship.

786
00:37:27,025 --> 00:37:28,727
Sorry, can you,
can you move, like,

787
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,129
two steps to your right?
What?

788
00:37:31,162 --> 00:37:32,297
Just like a little,
t-tiny bit...

789
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:34,432
It's just a lot of dead
space there, just...

790
00:37:34,466 --> 00:37:36,234
Yeah, just right th--
perfect. Yeah, sorry,

791
00:37:36,267 --> 00:37:37,503
you were just very
weirdly framed,

792
00:37:37,536 --> 00:37:38,737
it was all I
could focus on.

793
00:37:38,770 --> 00:37:40,105
Anyway, what is it you want?

794
00:37:40,138 --> 00:37:42,474
You know what I want.

795
00:37:42,508 --> 00:37:44,510
Sorry, right, yeah, sorry.
I'm a little distracted lately.

796
00:37:44,543 --> 00:37:46,111
I just got out
of a rough marriage,

797
00:37:46,144 --> 00:37:47,646
and it's been
a difficult time.

798
00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:48,814
My wife had an affair...
Oh, my God.

799
00:37:48,847 --> 00:37:50,482
Are you really bringing
this up right now?

800
00:37:50,516 --> 00:37:53,251
I'm trying to keep him talking,
so I can buy us some time.

801
00:37:53,284 --> 00:37:54,486
Oh, okay. In that case,
you know what?

802
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,654
You're an objective third party.

803
00:37:55,687 --> 00:37:56,755
Are you married?

804
00:37:56,788 --> 00:37:57,989
What?

805
00:37:58,023 --> 00:37:59,090
Oh, my God, you're ac--

806
00:37:59,124 --> 00:38:00,492
you're bringing him into our...

807
00:38:00,526 --> 00:38:01,593
No, I'm just buying
us some time.

808
00:38:01,627 --> 00:38:02,761
Let me ask
you something.

809
00:38:02,794 --> 00:38:03,862
Do you make an effort to balance

810
00:38:03,895 --> 00:38:05,196
your career with your home life?

811
00:38:05,230 --> 00:38:07,265
A marriage is work.

812
00:38:07,298 --> 00:38:09,434
It takes work, right?
Compromise.

813
00:38:09,467 --> 00:38:10,802
On both sides, yes.

814
00:38:10,836 --> 00:38:12,037
And if you didn't
make that effort,

815
00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:13,605
would you be surprised
if your wife

816
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:15,306
sought comfort in
the arms of another?

817
00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:17,042
No, that would be selfish.

818
00:38:17,075 --> 00:38:18,376
"No, that would be s..."
Yeah, yeah,

819
00:38:18,409 --> 00:38:19,811
'cause both of you
are complete friggin' saints.

820
00:38:19,845 --> 00:38:21,713
You know what? I don't have
to sit here and listen...

821
00:38:21,747 --> 00:38:23,481
(explosion)
KRILL COMMANDER: Enough!

822
00:38:23,515 --> 00:38:25,617
Emergency power.

823
00:38:25,651 --> 00:38:27,953
You have 20 seconds
to give me the device,

824
00:38:27,986 --> 00:38:30,221
or you will die.

825
00:38:30,255 --> 00:38:31,723
Isaac, what about that engine?

826
00:38:31,757 --> 00:38:33,625
Still only at partial power,
sir.

827
00:38:33,659 --> 00:38:35,894
Alara, put the Krill on hold.

828
00:38:36,995 --> 00:38:38,463
I have an idea.

829
00:38:38,496 --> 00:38:39,565
What is it?

830
00:38:39,598 --> 00:38:41,066
Let's give him the device.

831
00:38:41,099 --> 00:38:42,801
What?
Dr. Aronov,

832
00:38:42,834 --> 00:38:44,235
can you preset the
field to fire up

833
00:38:44,269 --> 00:38:45,370
at a specific
intensity the moment

834
00:38:45,403 --> 00:38:46,404
the Krill activate it?

835
00:38:46,437 --> 00:38:48,039
I think so, but why?

836
00:38:48,073 --> 00:38:49,675
And the field can accelerate
time a hundred years.

837
00:38:49,708 --> 00:38:51,076
Correct?
Yes, it can.

838
00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:53,411
About how long it takes
a redwood to grow.

839
00:39:04,289 --> 00:39:06,124
Alara, put him back on.

840
00:39:07,626 --> 00:39:10,228
All right, Commander, you win.

841
00:39:10,261 --> 00:39:11,597
We'll send you the device
by remote shuttle.

842
00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:13,031
When you receive it,

843
00:39:13,064 --> 00:39:14,833
we'll transmit
the activation code.

844
00:39:14,866 --> 00:39:16,868
Do not take long.

845
00:39:16,902 --> 00:39:18,604
We won't.

846
00:39:19,905 --> 00:39:21,607
Maybe she's not such a bitch.

847
00:39:23,709 --> 00:39:26,678
State-of-the-art weaponry on
this ship and we're using glue.

848
00:39:26,712 --> 00:39:28,079
My favorite part
of being a fleet officer.

849
00:39:28,113 --> 00:39:30,048
The arts and crafts.

850
00:39:30,081 --> 00:39:31,249
You know, if we had time,

851
00:39:31,282 --> 00:39:32,951
I'd make a macaroni
man to put on here.

852
00:39:32,984 --> 00:39:34,119
You can make a macaroni man?

853
00:39:34,152 --> 00:39:36,287
I make really good macaroni men.

854
00:39:37,656 --> 00:39:39,658
All right, let's get
her out of here.

855
00:39:56,307 --> 00:39:58,744
The shuttle is aboard
the Krill ship.

856
00:39:58,777 --> 00:39:59,745
Signal them.

857
00:40:00,946 --> 00:40:02,714
All right, Commander.
You have it.

858
00:40:02,748 --> 00:40:03,815
Excellent. Now,

859
00:40:03,849 --> 00:40:07,118
give me the activation code.

860
00:40:09,487 --> 00:40:12,658
The code is six, alpha, nine,
three, seven,

861
00:40:12,691 --> 00:40:15,260
alpha, three, zero, zero.

862
00:40:15,293 --> 00:40:17,095
(beeping)

863
00:40:18,529 --> 00:40:20,298
Happy Arbor Day.

864
00:40:40,151 --> 00:40:42,153
Wait. What's Arbor Day?

865
00:40:42,187 --> 00:40:44,155
It's the holiday
where you plant the trees.

866
00:40:44,189 --> 00:40:46,324
I wouldn't have got that. Oh, yeah.
No, I didn't get that, either.

867
00:40:46,357 --> 00:40:47,759
You knew what Arbor Day was,
right?

868
00:40:47,793 --> 00:40:49,160
I mean, actually, I
had to think a second.

869
00:40:49,194 --> 00:40:50,295
Kind of confusing.

870
00:40:50,328 --> 00:40:51,596
Nobody knows what Arbor Day is.

871
00:40:51,629 --> 00:40:52,798
BORTUS: No.
ALARA: No.

872
00:40:52,831 --> 00:40:54,032
I knew. BORTUS: I do not.

873
00:40:54,065 --> 00:40:55,033
What would you have said?

874
00:40:55,066 --> 00:40:56,101
I would've said,

875
00:40:56,134 --> 00:40:57,669
"You got wood."

876
00:40:57,703 --> 00:40:59,604
(laughter) GORDON: Yeah.

877
00:40:59,637 --> 00:41:00,772
Yes.

878
00:41:00,806 --> 00:41:03,008
Yeah, that is better,
isn't it?

879
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:13,952
(door chimes)

880
00:41:13,985 --> 00:41:15,320
Come in.

881
00:41:17,088 --> 00:41:18,690
Hi.

882
00:41:18,724 --> 00:41:20,225
Hi.

883
00:41:20,258 --> 00:41:21,827
I didn't want to bother you
unless I had to.

884
00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:24,495
You've kind of kept to yourself
these last few days.

885
00:41:24,529 --> 00:41:26,732
Yeah, the admirals want a full
report on the Epsilon 2 stuff,

886
00:41:26,765 --> 00:41:28,499
so it's just taking a while.

887
00:41:28,533 --> 00:41:29,835
Yeah, you need some help?

888
00:41:29,868 --> 00:41:31,002
No, I got it.

889
00:41:31,036 --> 00:41:33,905
So, um, I just wanted
to tell you

890
00:41:33,939 --> 00:41:35,173
(whirring, clicking) that
Lieutenant Commander Murphy...

891
00:41:35,206 --> 00:41:36,241
Sorry.

892
00:41:36,274 --> 00:41:38,076
Excuse me.
Can you... just...

893
00:41:38,109 --> 00:41:39,510
Just not now.

894
00:41:39,544 --> 00:41:41,412
No, just... we're talking.
We're t...

895
00:41:41,446 --> 00:41:43,548
Yes. Good, you got it, good.

896
00:41:43,581 --> 00:41:45,583
Okay.

897
00:41:45,616 --> 00:41:46,718
Lieutenant Commander Murphy
of the USS...

898
00:41:46,752 --> 00:41:48,419
(whirring, clicking)
Oh, my God.

899
00:41:48,453 --> 00:41:49,921
Just come back l...
just do it later. Thank you.

900
00:41:49,955 --> 00:41:51,556
Just not now,
we're having a conversation.

901
00:41:51,589 --> 00:41:53,391
Thank-- yes. Thank you.
Good. Thumbs up. Okay.

902
00:41:53,424 --> 00:41:54,525
Sorry, go ahead.

903
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:55,927
Lieutenant Commander Murphy

904
00:41:55,961 --> 00:41:57,729
of the USS Chanute
just got promoted.

905
00:41:57,763 --> 00:42:00,398
So now he's eligible for
a first officer position.

906
00:42:00,431 --> 00:42:02,067
And he's a friend of mine.

907
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:04,402
So I told him
he could have this posting.

908
00:42:04,435 --> 00:42:07,605
He's a great guy,
you're gonna love him,

909
00:42:07,638 --> 00:42:09,908
and I'll be out of your hair
by the end of the day.

910
00:42:11,209 --> 00:42:13,111
Okay.

911
00:42:14,279 --> 00:42:16,214
Okay.

912
00:42:18,116 --> 00:42:19,284
Wait.

913
00:42:22,153 --> 00:42:26,257
I never really said thank you
for what you did.

914
00:42:27,658 --> 00:42:28,927
You saved the ship.

915
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,629
I was just doing my job.

916
00:42:34,332 --> 00:42:38,603
You were always better at
solving my problems than I was.

917
00:42:38,636 --> 00:42:43,074
You were
always wise.

918
00:42:43,108 --> 00:42:46,744
Well...
thank you for saying that.

919
00:42:49,948 --> 00:42:52,183
Kelly.

920
00:42:54,119 --> 00:42:58,289
I'm asking you to stay.

921
00:43:00,291 --> 00:43:01,726
Really?

922
00:43:01,759 --> 00:43:03,929
You're one hell of an XO,

923
00:43:03,962 --> 00:43:07,765
and I think you'd make
a fine addition to this crew.

924
00:43:07,799 --> 00:43:10,836
A-And you're not concerned

925
00:43:10,869 --> 00:43:13,738
about the other stuff?

926
00:43:13,771 --> 00:43:15,807
We'll figure it out.

927
00:43:18,977 --> 00:43:20,611
Welcome to the Orville,

928
00:43:20,645 --> 00:43:22,647
Commander Grayson.

929
00:43:34,392 --> 00:43:35,593
(door chimes)

930
00:43:35,626 --> 00:43:36,794
Come in.

931
00:43:38,629 --> 00:43:39,931
Commander Grayson, have a seat.

932
00:43:39,965 --> 00:43:41,366
I can't stay long.

933
00:43:41,399 --> 00:43:44,035
I just wanted to say thank you.

934
00:43:45,303 --> 00:43:46,838
For trusting me.

935
00:43:46,872 --> 00:43:50,842
Your father and I were close.
I owed him one.

936
00:43:50,876 --> 00:43:54,812
Regardless, it looks like
you were right about Ed.

937
00:43:54,846 --> 00:43:57,815
You made a hell of a plea
for us to give him that command.

938
00:43:57,849 --> 00:44:00,385
Honestly, I don't think
we would've done it otherwise.

939
00:44:00,418 --> 00:44:02,387
I know.

940
00:44:02,420 --> 00:44:05,723
But he's a smart officer who
just had a little rough patch.

941
00:44:05,756 --> 00:44:06,724
Does he know?

942
00:44:06,757 --> 00:44:07,959
No.

943
00:44:07,993 --> 00:44:09,895
And I plan on keeping it
that way.

944
00:44:09,928 --> 00:44:13,899
Well... he's lucky
to have you on his side.

945
00:44:13,932 --> 00:44:15,700
Thank you.

946
00:44:15,733 --> 00:44:17,869
Take care, Admiral.

947
00:44:20,438 --> 00:44:23,408
(door whooshes open)

948
