Star Trek: Picard

Previously on Star Trek: Picard... When you first learned

that the Romulan sun was going to explode,

you left the Enterprise to command the rescue armada,

a mission to relocate 900 million Romulan citizens

to worlds outside the blast of the supernova.

The decision to call off the rescue

and to abandon those people we had sworn to save

was not just dishonorable.

It was downright criminal!

The daughter of the man

whose death I have been mourning

And then she is assassinated

by a Romulan death squad who will then

go and try and find and destroy

her twin sister.

I have to find Bruce Maddox.

I found Maddox.

Bruce Maddox is on Freecloud.

And once we get there, you're on your own.

Why do you want to go to Freecloud?

Have we met?

Agnes Jurati.

Dr. Jurati

is the Earth's leading expert on synthetic life.

My name is Soji.

I'm working with Hugh on the reclamation project.

I know who you are! You are Seb-Cheneb.

You are the Destroyer!

Hello, hello. How good to see you all again.

Yes, yes.

I know you're all worried,

but the Federation and Starfleet are here to help you settle.

You have my word.

Jolan tr...

You haven't stopped talking

about Admiral Picard since he left.

Can't you find something to say to him?

What did you bring me?

What did I bring you? Well...

Now, let me see.

The Three Musketeers

by Alexandre Dumas.

Enjoy. You're making the admiral uncomfortable, Elnor.

He dislikes displays of emotion.

And he's not overly fond of children.

Not at all.

Someday, I may get used to the Way of Absolute Candor.

Wh-Why don't you like children?

Because they're demanding, distracting and interfere

with duty and pleasure alike.

My feelings are hurt.

I actually did think you were fond of me.

Correct.

I like you very much.

The sisters in Southeast Station

tell us things went well there.

10,000 new refugees.

The help of the sisters was invaluable.

The Federation owes a debt to the Qowat Milat.

How long can you stay?

As always, our house and our hearts are open to you.

Can I read the book? Yes. Of course.

But in three days, I have to be in Central Station

to meet the next convoy.

Because last time, you promised that...

A promise is a prison, Elnor.

Do not make yourself another's jailer.

And that reminds me, Zani.

Last time, I made you a promise

that I would try and find some sweet hanifak.

But I totally forgot

that promises were prisons, so...

Ah-ah-ah.

It can't be easy

being the only boy

in a house of women.

He must get lonely sometimes.

Yes.

He is loved, but he does not belong with us.

I understand.

It's so good of you to have taken him in

the way that you have.

I will find him a more suitable place soon.

En garde!

"D'Artagnan, who though wanting in practice"

"had a profound theory,

"redoubled his agility.

"Jussac, anxious to put an end to this, springing forward,

"aimed a terrible thrust

"at his adversary, but the latter parried it.

And while..."What does "parried" mean?

I'll show you tomorrow. "And while Jussac

"was recovering himself, d'Artagnan glided

"like a serpent beneath his blade,

"and passed his sword through his body.

"Jussac fell in a heap.

"D'Artagnan then cast

an anxious and rapid glance over the field of battle."

I'm busy, Raffi.

What do you mean "synths have attacked Mars"?

What will this mean

for our mission? Will it continue?

Of course. It must.

Uh, tell Elnor

I'm sorry we didn't finish our fencing lesson.

But, uh...

...well, I'll be back soon.

Picard ready for transport.

Hi.

Oh. You're reading. I won't, uh...

Be my guest.

So...

space turns out to be super boring.

Go figure.

What were you expecting?

I don't know.

It's so... empty.

I mean, of course, right?

It's right there in the name. "Space."

It's not like it's called "vast quantities of stuff."

Although, come to think of it,

there are over three billion stars in our galaxy alone

and ours is one of two trillion.

There are a septillion known planets,

so maybe it should be called "vast quantities of stuff."

Like, why focus on the negative?

I caught up on two years of back issues

of the Journal of Theoretical Cybernetics,

including the Festschrift for Professor Kwok.

I watered your plants. You're welcome.

I was gonna watch a holo, but weirdly,

all you have on board is Klingon opera.

Long story.

I used to live with a guy who liked paper books.

I bothered him, too.

What did he used to do about it?

He was my dad.

He had to put up with it.

What's your book about?

The existential pain of living with the consciousness of death,

and how it defines us as human beings.

Well, that's not a conversation killer at all.

I totally want to talk about the existential pain

of living with the consciousness of death.

Rios!

Oh, thank God.

I just checked the nav log.

Where the hell are we going?

Says he needs to make a stop.

He needsto?

Picard?

What stop?

Vashti, in the Qiris sector.

Vashti.

Man can't even take a guilt trip without using a starship.

Hold.

Holomatrix paused.

Is it inaccurate?

Everything seems absolutely correct,

in every particular.

We rebuilt your study to the exact specifications.

I see that.

Your Mr. Zhaban supplied me with the holoscans.

He thought you might feel more at home.

It seems a little odd that a working ship

should have a hospitality hologram.

I came with the basic installation, sir,

but you're right,

In general, the captain... keeps his own company.

Come.

You want to go to Vashti?

Are you out of your goddamn mind?

I hate that fucking hospitality hologram.

That you even suggest it makes me

seriously question your mental state.

The idea of going there isn't just

a bad idea, it's-it's bizarre.

Look,

Dahj's sister is in grave danger.

She may already be dead.

I am

as eager to get to Freecloud as you.

I... Did I ever say I was eager to get to Freecloud?

Do-do I seem eager to you?

I would say more...

apprehensive.

Look, I-I'm gonna be straight with you.

Oh, well, that will make a refreshing change.

Come.

Oh, uh,

is this a secret meeting,

or am I technically

part of the crew now?

Please, Dr. Jurati, join us.

Raffi here was

questioning my sanity.

You know what? Fine. Let's go to Vashti.

Check out that big statue of you.

I mean, they-they must've put up at least one.

If they did, somebody's probably
