1
00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:04,963
[Gaal] If you live long
enough, time can be a weapon.
2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,677
Steady cycles of cryosleep have kept
me alive for more than three centuries,
3
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:14,847
and in my time, I've
watched the Foundation grow
4
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:18,768
and Empire decline faster than
anyone could've predicted.
5
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:20,604
Except Hari Seldon.
6
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:25,441
It's been 152 years
since the Second Crisis.
7
00:00:25,442 --> 00:00:30,780
Foundation now controls the entire Outer
Reach and is pushing into the middle band,
8
00:00:30,781 --> 00:00:34,492
a string of independent
planets once owned by Empire.
9
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:37,245
{\an8}The most important
of these is Kalgan.
10
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:38,497
{\an8}The pleasure planet.
11
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:48,381
Both Empire and Foundation
know if they control Kalgan,
12
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:52,719
the rest of the middle band will
follow, and the galaxy could be theirs.
13
00:00:53,804 --> 00:00:55,763
But someone else knows this too.
14
00:00:55,764 --> 00:00:58,433
Someone that's haunted
my dreams for years.
15
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:03,397
And the minute the Mule
makes himself known,
16
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:07,025
nothing will ever
be the same again.
17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,074
18
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:21,123
Anything on radar?
19
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,541
-[comms beeps]
-Gravity signatures?
20
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:27,253
Not as yet, sir. No
unregistered vehicles in orbit.
21
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:30,257
Son of a whore said eight bells.
22
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:34,011
Eight bells or the pup dies.
23
00:01:37,556 --> 00:01:38,891
Where is he?
24
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:43,562
[visi-son or playing]
25
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:48,525
[officer] It's his balladeer.
26
00:01:49,193 --> 00:01:50,777
A clown said to
herald his arrival.
27
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:53,197
It sets my teeth on edge.
28
00:01:55,574 --> 00:01:57,075
Life-form. On foot.
29
00:01:57,576 --> 00:01:58,577
Alone?
30
00:01:59,161 --> 00:02:00,537
And unarmed.
31
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:30,234
Archduke Bellarion.
32
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:32,444
You are the Mule?
33
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:34,488
I am.
34
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:36,448
[Bellarion] A strange sobriquet.
35
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:39,701
Well, my parents
considered me stubborn.
36
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:41,662
Where is my daughter?
37
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,248
Your runtling is quite safe.
38
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,667
She'll be released when
I have what I want.
39
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:49,545
[Bellarion] Name your ransom.
40
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,255
Surrender Kalgan.
41
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:54,091
Its navy, its coffers.
42
00:02:54,633 --> 00:02:56,634
Install me as the new warlord.
43
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:57,886
[scoffs]
44
00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:03,432
Well... [clicks tongue] ...Kalgan
is an independent buffer state
45
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:05,853
between the Imperium
and the Foundation.
46
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:09,147
Any act of aggression,
even by a pirate,
47
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:12,234
would trigger a military
response from both.
48
00:03:12,943 --> 00:03:15,112
Yes, well... [inhales sharply]
49
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:19,783
...I intend to consume the
Imperium along with the Foundation.
50
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:25,956
You see, I have a
very large appetite...
51
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:29,793
one only a galaxy can satisfy.
52
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:32,921
And you were a fool to
approach without an army.
53
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,674
[clicks tongue] I
require no army.
54
00:03:37,176 --> 00:03:38,677
I have talents, you see.
55
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,058
I can compel people.
56
00:03:46,143 --> 00:03:48,729
I can worm my way
into people's minds.
57
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:54,568
Convert enemies into
allies, hate into love.
58
00:04:00,782 --> 00:04:01,909
Take your flagship.
59
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:06,663
I'm planting a notion in
your wing commander's mind.
60
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:15,213
He's thinking, "Hey, why don't
I fire on my fellow ships?"
61
00:04:15,214 --> 00:04:16,464
[chuckles]
62
00:04:17,216 --> 00:04:20,677
Then I'm suggesting that each of the
other ships' captains do the same.
63
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:22,763
Nothing hectic,
64
00:04:23,972 --> 00:04:27,267
just a little nudge.
65
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:30,145
[flagship whirring, beeping]
66
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:45,660
Kill him. Shoot him, man.
67
00:04:45,661 --> 00:04:47,119
[Mule] I infected your airmen.
68
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,748
Do you think I haven't
infected your infantry?
69
00:04:51,917 --> 00:04:54,127
[clamoring]
70
00:05:00,676 --> 00:05:02,260
[clamoring]
71
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:03,470
[grunts]
72
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:21,738
You don't want to
do that, Bellarion.
73
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:26,159
You love me.
74
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:33,292
Nothing would make you happier than
installing me as the new lord of Kalgan.
75
00:05:36,295 --> 00:05:38,046
But I need your
signet ring first.
76
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:45,262
[grunts]
77
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:48,640
[grunts]
78
00:05:49,725 --> 00:05:50,893
[sighs]
79
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:55,814
Please, if you would.
80
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:08,202
[bites]
81
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:15,417
[gasping]
82
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:24,051
Hmm.
83
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:29,306
I like it.
84
00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:34,561
You can shoot yourself now.
85
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:36,605
Nothing hectic.
86
00:06:38,482 --> 00:06:40,275
And in your own time, of course.
87
00:08:18,123 --> 00:08:22,418
[Gaal] After Empire lost control of
the Spacers during the Second Crisis,
88
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:26,006
they've been forced to use jump
gates to travel across the galaxy,
89
00:08:26,757 --> 00:08:30,677
slowing their sphere of influence
and accelerating their decline.
90
00:08:32,638 --> 00:08:36,182
The Cleonic Dynasty no
longer commands the stars,
91
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:38,352
or even their own
Galactic Council.
92
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:43,440
They've drifted farther and farther
away from the center of power.
93
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:47,861
And the weight of it all falls on
the shoulders of each new Cleon.
94
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:51,073
They're forced to
ask themselves,
95
00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:52,950
"Will I be the last?"
96
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:55,911
Will the dream of
Cleon I die with me?
97
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,748
"Or will I be the
one who saves it?"
98
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:11,385
[door opens]
99
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:21,603
Seldon Crisis?
100
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:25,731
The Third Crisis. Yes. Soon.
101
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,484
But there is something new.
102
00:09:29,528 --> 00:09:32,364
That's an inflection
point, isn't it?
103
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:37,786
When did it appear?
104
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:41,248
It wasn't evident when I
consulted the Radiant yesterday.
105
00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:47,171
Should we hold off
on our session?
106
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,132
Could that make a difference?
107
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:53,217
A single meeting with
the Galactic Council,
108
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:56,053
no matter how important
it might feel to you or I,
109
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:58,849
would never be enough to tip
the scales of psycho history.
110
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:00,558
No,
111
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,936
this is something more seismic.
112
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:05,856
So what do we do then?
113
00:10:06,398 --> 00:10:07,941
We proceed as planned.
114
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:10,027
There's nothing else we can do.
115
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:35,052
I'll never get used to this.
116
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:38,138
It's like the world
is inside out.
117
00:10:40,098 --> 00:10:43,226
[Gaal] The Galactic Council
is as old as Empire,
118
00:10:43,227 --> 00:10:47,147
representing each sector of Empire's
holdings throughout the galaxy.
119
00:10:48,065 --> 00:10:50,817
When the Emperor is
strong, they are agreeable.
120
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:54,570
When an Emperor is
weak, they are less so.
121
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:56,657
[crowd clamoring, chanting]
122
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:00,160
Who are they?
123
00:11:00,702 --> 00:11:02,162
Fire wheat farmers.
124
00:11:02,663 --> 00:11:05,540
The Foundation has imposed heavy
tariffs on their grain worlds.
125
00:11:05,541 --> 00:11:07,291
Council has no jurisdiction
over the Foundation.
126
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:10,838
That doesn't mean we can't bring
pressure to bear on Seldon's children.
127
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:12,881
Set us down.
128
00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:20,222
[crowd shouting, clamoring]
129
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:27,062
[clamoring]
130
00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:31,441
Empire!
131
00:11:34,278 --> 00:11:35,529
[grunts]
132
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:39,490
[Councilor 1] As the
Council remains deadlocked,
133
00:11:39,491 --> 00:11:44,036
custom dictates our esteemed triumvirate
weigh in before a final vote.
134
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:48,457
In Day's absence, Brother Dawn
will now address the assembly.
135
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:53,129
Councilors, if you saw
the demonstration outside,
136
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:56,884
you will understand why
I am less than fresh.
137
00:12:00,179 --> 00:12:04,015
I'm told this soil comes from one
of the many breadbasket planets
138
00:12:04,016 --> 00:12:07,101
that has passed from the
Empire's care to the Foundation's
139
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:08,896
over the last hundred years.
140
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:16,777
Now, while the Empire has resized
to a sustainable 6,342 worlds,
141
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:21,408
we have allowed the
Foundation to grow to over 800
142
00:12:22,326 --> 00:12:25,704
and they've assumed responsibility
for many of our fertile planets.
143
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:29,874
Empire kept these breadbaskets
productive for millennia,
144
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:34,796
but under the farseeing Foundation,
what has been the result?
145
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:40,219
The Foundation's corruption and
greed has turned the soil sterile.
146
00:12:41,512 --> 00:12:45,224
And when crops die, people die.
147
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:50,896
Luckily, there is a faction within
the Foundation with the will to help.
148
00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:56,651
Their own alliance of Traders,
the so-called Merchant Princes.
149
00:12:56,652 --> 00:13:00,112
They're hoping to break free
of the Foundation's choke hold,
150
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:03,616
but they lack
funds and supplies.
151
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:05,494
You're not emperor yet.
152
00:13:06,078 --> 00:13:09,580
[chuckles] True,
Councilor Gorov.
153
00:13:09,581 --> 00:13:10,916
I'm ten days short.
154
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:13,335
But I know some things already.
155
00:13:13,877 --> 00:13:16,713
A splintered Foundation
is to our benefit.
156
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:21,468
If we help the Traders, we can
weaken the Foundation from within
157
00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:24,846
and start clawing back the
planets that used to be ours.
158
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:27,766
Starting with the breadbaskets.
159
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,393
I've already been in
touch with Randu Mallow,
160
00:13:30,394 --> 00:13:32,604
-our Trader liaison and...
-[clears throat]
161
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:34,982
Yes, Councilor Tarisk?
162
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:39,986
You're toying with a damn
delicate balance of power, Empire.
163
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,321
Yes, I am.
164
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:45,909
And it is precisely our
task to preserve it.
165
00:13:49,246 --> 00:13:52,749
The Foundation knows which fights
they're ready for and which they aren't.
166
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:56,545
We could record a formal vote
via sign um at this time,
167
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:59,755
if Emperor Day were here.
168
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:05,137
[Dawn] Emperor Day is, um,
unavoidably occupied on Trantor.
169
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,057
I could come back in ten days
and reintroduce the motion,
170
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:12,686
along with a referendum
on a new Presider.
171
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,482
Or we can settle this.
172
00:14:18,192 --> 00:14:19,193
Now.
173
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:23,530
The Council will vote now.
174
00:14:24,656 --> 00:14:25,657
Thank you.
175
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:35,774
[Demerzel] That
was deftly handled.
176
00:14:36,293 --> 00:14:38,794
[Dawn] And Dusk always advised
walking out without waiting.
177
00:14:38,795 --> 00:14:40,923
We're gonna lose a lot
of wisdom when he's gone.
178
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:44,968
Better that than to risk his
public decline, I assure you.
179
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,265
Did he also tell you to supply the
Traders with dirt to throw at you?
180
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:52,975
No, that was me.
181
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:55,229
I do hope it was as
sterile as promised.
182
00:14:56,188 --> 00:14:59,149
I'll never understand why
Day renounced all this.
183
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:01,735
Any change in the math?
184
00:15:02,319 --> 00:15:03,403
Better?
185
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:05,447
Worse?
186
00:15:06,448 --> 00:15:07,491
No change.
187
00:15:08,784 --> 00:15:10,369
But I am looking into it.
188
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:26,051
[machine whirring]
189
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,456
[Dawn] I heard you were in here.
190
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,917
[Dusk] Of course.
How'd the Council go?
191
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:02,753
[Dawn sighs] They do
enjoy their oversight.
192
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:03,839
[Dusk chuckles]
193
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:06,757
Oh, look. There he is.
194
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:08,177
Seventeen.
195
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,638
The one who botched the
Enclosure with General Riose.
196
00:16:12,181 --> 00:16:13,974
Cost us all those Spacers.
197
00:16:17,978 --> 00:16:21,647
Everyone says those naval losses
over Terminus under Cleon XVII
198
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:25,610
are why they asserted no authority,
but that's only part of it.
199
00:16:25,611 --> 00:16:27,111
Yes, uh, I know.
200
00:16:27,112 --> 00:16:31,199
It's our genetic drift and the legacy
bequeathed us by the tampering.
201
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,995
At any rate, uh, I convinced
the Council to fall in line.
202
00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:36,955
The Traders will be supplied.
203
00:16:37,581 --> 00:16:40,082
And Empire stays erect.
204
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:41,792
Well, I'm glad someone can.
205
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:43,462
-[chuckles] Yes.
-[chuckles]
206
00:16:44,171 --> 00:16:47,548
And the Foundation will be kept busy for
years chasing its own rebellious tail.
207
00:16:47,549 --> 00:16:48,674
[chuckles]
208
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,261
All the other business
was incidental.
209
00:16:52,095 --> 00:16:53,722
Kalgan's fallen to piracy.
210
00:16:54,431 --> 00:16:57,434
Brother Day will be sad.
He loves a gambling trip.
211
00:16:58,101 --> 00:16:59,353
I heard about that.
212
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:03,440
Well, that's a meaty prize that'll
soon be grabbed up. [chuckles]
213
00:17:04,191 --> 00:17:08,027
And this new pirate
calls himself the Mule?
214
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,113
Won't keep it for long, will he?
215
00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:12,491
What a life that must be though.
216
00:17:13,951 --> 00:17:15,452
Sleeping among the stars,
217
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:18,121
no one to answer to,
218
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:22,166
living and dying on
your own terms. [sighs]
219
00:17:23,794 --> 00:17:27,755
Demerzel has identified a
complication with the Seldon Crisis.
220
00:17:27,756 --> 00:17:29,257
I'm not surprised.
221
00:17:29,258 --> 00:17:31,051
But we're playing it correctly.
222
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,266
Hmm. The bucket tips, water
sloshes to the brink of crisis.
223
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:42,645
We grab it tightly,
water sloshes back in.
224
00:17:42,646 --> 00:17:44,022
I hope so.
225
00:17:45,107 --> 00:17:47,400
Ascension used to seem
like it would never come.
226
00:17:47,401 --> 00:17:49,861
Now it's on us like a wolf.
227
00:17:49,862 --> 00:17:56,785
[chuckles] You are speaking to a man
who can smell the beast's breath.
228
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:07,004
Run, man!
229
00:18:14,887 --> 00:18:18,182
I can never decide whether the runners
were weak for showing their fear...
230
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:22,269
or it was good they died honest.
231
00:18:24,521 --> 00:18:25,813
Do you think you could run?
232
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:26,940
Not a chance.
233
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:31,278
Not because I'd be stopped,
which I certainly would.
234
00:18:32,905 --> 00:18:35,032
I don't have it in here.
235
00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:38,869
Habit, genetics, time.
236
00:18:39,369 --> 00:18:40,913
For good or for bad,
237
00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,999
most of us are
obedient as... [sighs]
238
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:48,504
...trash headed to
the incinerator.
239
00:18:51,048 --> 00:18:52,341
[sighs]
240
00:19:05,354 --> 00:19:08,273
[Gaal] Time unravels,
and we unravel with it.
241
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:12,778
As the last remaining shards of
Terminus disappeared into the abyss,
242
00:19:13,737 --> 00:19:16,114
a new Terminus was
born a parsec away.
243
00:19:18,951 --> 00:19:22,913
Over the next 150 years,
the Foundation prospered,
244
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:27,167
shedding their religious roots and
entering their expansionist phase.
245
00:19:27,918 --> 00:19:30,295
{\an8}But their success brought
challenges from within.
246
00:19:31,547 --> 00:19:35,676
An increasing divide between those
with power and those with influence.
247
00:19:36,218 --> 00:19:40,305
A faction within the Foundation called
the Traders are threatening to secede,
248
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:43,558
which could unravel everything
the Foundation has built
249
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:45,352
the last three centuries.
250
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:56,946
Professor Ebling Mis had been
studying this rift for years
251
00:19:56,947 --> 00:19:59,074
and knew exactly where
it was all headed.
252
00:19:59,616 --> 00:20:00,993
A Third Crisis.
253
00:20:01,952 --> 00:20:05,080
So he went to meet the only
man who could solve it.
254
00:20:05,831 --> 00:20:06,957
Hari Seldon.
255
00:20:08,709 --> 00:20:09,960
[beeps]
256
00:20:26,727 --> 00:20:27,728
[sighs]
257
00:20:44,244 --> 00:20:45,245
[chuckles]
258
00:20:46,121 --> 00:20:47,122
[sighs]
259
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:50,042
[Hari] Fucking hell!
260
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:53,253
You've nulled my null field.
261
00:20:55,130 --> 00:20:57,090
No one's ever done that before.
262
00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:03,013
-Nicely done.
-Huh.
263
00:21:07,768 --> 00:21:09,478
What a beautiful day.
264
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,856
I look like him. I know.
265
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,149
My name is Dr. Ebling Mis.
266
00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:18,027
I'm descended from a man
named Xylas who prosecuted you
267
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:19,821
during the tribunal
of Cleon XII.
268
00:21:21,281 --> 00:21:24,993
My family has been a
footnote in your story,
269
00:21:26,203 --> 00:21:28,872
hence my fascination.
270
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:34,001
I am your biographer, a
self-taught psycho historian,
271
00:21:34,002 --> 00:21:37,380
and if I may, the man best
suited to assisting you
272
00:21:37,381 --> 00:21:39,424
in your upcoming manifestation.
273
00:21:42,094 --> 00:21:43,220
All that...
274
00:21:45,347 --> 00:21:46,556
and so sweaty.
275
00:21:46,557 --> 00:21:48,308
Oh. [pants, chuckles]
276
00:21:48,809 --> 00:21:49,810
[sighs]
277
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:55,399
Uh, apologies for that. It's,
um, human frailty. H-H-Heat.
278
00:21:56,608 --> 00:22:01,362
I have dreamed of this moment
279
00:22:01,363 --> 00:22:04,074
for decades.
280
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:08,412
Seldon. Man, myth, legend.
281
00:22:09,204 --> 00:22:12,583
Well... [sighs] ...you
have the myth at least.
282
00:22:15,961 --> 00:22:18,630
The man is elsewhere.
283
00:22:24,344 --> 00:22:25,345
Oh.
284
00:22:26,221 --> 00:22:27,389
This...
285
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:29,516
[sighs, whimpers]
286
00:22:30,434 --> 00:22:37,315
This is your Trantor
office in replica.
287
00:22:37,316 --> 00:22:39,651
So, if I'm not mistaken,
288
00:22:40,235 --> 00:22:43,822
Foundation's religious phase
would have long since ended, hmm?
289
00:22:44,656 --> 00:22:48,368
Succeeded by an ever-expanding
worship of trade.
290
00:22:49,161 --> 00:22:53,664
A minority of Merchant Princes pitted
against a conservative majority.
291
00:22:53,665 --> 00:22:55,249
Oh, no, no, no, no,
far too generous.
292
00:22:55,250 --> 00:22:56,960
Uh, more like a monarchy.
293
00:22:57,461 --> 00:23:01,297
The last few mayors have all
been little lords named Indbur,
294
00:23:01,298 --> 00:23:03,799
who shit out more little lords.
295
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,094
You know he put his office in
geosynchronous orbit with the Vault?
296
00:23:07,095 --> 00:23:09,931
So that he's always
above your galaxy.
297
00:23:09,932 --> 00:23:12,266
Oh, no, no, no, no.
298
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:13,935
[sighs]
299
00:23:13,936 --> 00:23:16,939
Standards have fallen since
the days of Poly Verisof.
300
00:23:17,523 --> 00:23:20,567
Foundation has
become comfortable,
301
00:23:21,276 --> 00:23:24,238
incapable, possibly, of
facing the coming crisis.
302
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,743
And the Traders are the
crisis. Are they not?
303
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:33,913
No, no, of course or
you'll corrupt the system,
304
00:23:33,914 --> 00:23:37,626
but if I'm right, I would
just like to prepare you.
305
00:23:39,169 --> 00:23:42,338
Empire has been having
conversations with the Traders,
306
00:23:42,339 --> 00:23:45,259
and they're holding onto their power
better than your first projections.
307
00:23:45,801 --> 00:23:47,302
Of course.
308
00:23:49,471 --> 00:23:51,430
I gave Empire the Prime Radiant.
309
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:55,852
You... What? I mean, I'm
not sure I understand.
310
00:23:55,853 --> 00:23:59,689
You don't need to.
Three days from now,
311
00:23:59,690 --> 00:24:02,859
when New Terminus's moons
achieve orbital resonance,
312
00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:08,782
I will emerge from this and... [chuckles]
...the chips will fall where they may.
313
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,495
You're telling me that you
gave the Radiant to an enemy
314
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:16,456
that tried to destroy us?
315
00:24:17,416 --> 00:24:20,419
Well, I think we at least
deserve to know the reason why.
316
00:24:34,933 --> 00:24:35,934
[sighs]
317
00:24:43,901 --> 00:24:47,069
[Gaal] As New Terminus prepared
for the return of Hari Seldon,
318
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:49,907
the Alliance of Traders
prepared for civil war.
319
00:24:51,283 --> 00:24:54,578
{\an8}They've long held a grudge
against Foundation's ruling elite
320
00:24:55,370 --> 00:24:58,206
and Empire has been
exploiting those grievances
321
00:24:58,207 --> 00:25:01,752
by covertly sending arms to
their stronghold on Haven.
322
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:19,478
[device beeping]
323
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:52,010
[captain] It's the drop.
324
00:25:52,636 --> 00:25:55,596
You were right. Empire's
arming the Traders.
325
00:25:55,597 --> 00:25:57,766
Now we have proof to bring
back to the Foundation.
326
00:25:58,684 --> 00:26:00,018
Just have to get to it first.
327
00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:04,189
Haven's 260 degrees
on the sun side.
328
00:26:05,816 --> 00:26:07,484
Negative 180 on the other.
329
00:26:09,152 --> 00:26:10,946
As the moon moves
over the surface,
330
00:26:11,446 --> 00:26:14,323
temperature on the under
drops to a cool 55.
331
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:15,951
Low enough for the flitters.
332
00:26:23,125 --> 00:26:24,208
[operative] Traders?
333
00:26:24,209 --> 00:26:26,409
[captain] That one-armed son
of a bitch is their leader.
334
00:26:27,212 --> 00:26:28,213
Randu Mallow.
335
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,800
Whatever you do, stay
inside the shadow.
336
00:26:38,432 --> 00:26:40,184
Shit. We got company.
337
00:27:03,874 --> 00:27:04,958
[yells]
338
00:27:11,965 --> 00:27:14,467
You're a fucking
turncoat, Randu. [grunts]
339
00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:16,011
And you're a Foundation lapdog.
340
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,387
We're all Foundation.
341
00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:19,556
[grunts]
342
00:27:25,187 --> 00:27:26,230
[both grunt]
343
00:27:27,189 --> 00:27:28,524
[grunts]
344
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:31,068
[grunts]
345
00:27:36,865 --> 00:27:38,200
[screams]
346
00:27:44,873 --> 00:27:46,123
[groans]
347
00:27:46,124 --> 00:27:47,584
[pants]
348
00:27:49,253 --> 00:27:50,546
[grunts]
349
00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:54,424
[grunting]
350
00:27:55,342 --> 00:27:57,302
-[captain] Shit!
-[operative] I got you, Pritch.
351
00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:59,638
[Pritch shouts]
352
00:28:01,265 --> 00:28:03,016
[explosion]
353
00:28:13,735 --> 00:28:16,780
-[Pritch] Go, go, go!
-Initiate auto extraction.
354
00:28:55,235 --> 00:28:56,236
Put this on.
355
00:28:58,614 --> 00:29:02,159
Can't feel it now, but in an hour
you'll be covered in heat blisters.
356
00:29:03,577 --> 00:29:05,119
Didn't think we'd pull that off.
357
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,205
We didn't.
358
00:29:07,873 --> 00:29:11,210
Without the cargo, we've got no evidence
against Empire involvement. [sighs]
359
00:29:15,297 --> 00:29:16,965
How'd you know to fly like that?
360
00:29:17,966 --> 00:29:20,093
It's not the first time
I've run the moon shadow.
361
00:29:22,346 --> 00:29:24,264
-Was the first time I almost died.
-[chuckles]
362
00:29:26,183 --> 00:29:27,226
Missed a spot.
363
00:29:31,772 --> 00:29:33,607
You know, we don't
have to jump just yet.
364
00:29:39,488 --> 00:29:40,989
My loyalties lie elsewhere.
365
00:29:43,408 --> 00:29:44,618
[hologram beeps]
366
00:29:55,587 --> 00:29:56,588
Fuck.
367
00:29:57,673 --> 00:29:58,924
[sighs]
368
00:30:02,052 --> 00:30:04,887
[mayor] Yes, yes,
it's a vault, Neddy.
369
00:30:04,888 --> 00:30:07,056
It doesn't issue press releases,
370
00:30:07,057 --> 00:30:08,850
so I don't know any
more than you do.
371
00:30:08,851 --> 00:30:10,935
Just... [sighs] ...make sure
372
00:30:10,936 --> 00:30:14,690
everyone who'd be insulted in
not being invited gets invited.
373
00:30:15,274 --> 00:30:17,316
Except the ones
I want to insult.
374
00:30:17,317 --> 00:30:18,402
[beeps]
375
00:30:23,615 --> 00:30:24,991
Pritcher.
376
00:30:24,992 --> 00:30:26,158
I've never been back here.
377
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:27,618
Pritcher, h-how
did you get in...
378
00:30:27,619 --> 00:30:30,496
I'm your Captain of Information.
I designed the security protocols.
379
00:30:30,497 --> 00:30:34,168
Yes. Well, protocol dictates
that you make an appointment.
380
00:30:34,877 --> 00:30:37,421
Well, I don't need
one. I'm already here.
381
00:30:39,047 --> 00:30:40,298
Vault's awake.
382
00:30:40,299 --> 00:30:43,759
I'm aware. Debrief me on Haven.
383
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,180
Oh, Empire's definitely arming the
Traders. We tried to confirm it...
384
00:30:47,181 --> 00:30:49,141
Then you need to confirm it.
385
00:30:49,808 --> 00:30:51,934
We can't confront
Empire without it,
386
00:30:51,935 --> 00:30:53,769
and our damn Vault is
pretty much screaming
387
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:55,605
that civil war is
knocking on our door.
388
00:30:55,606 --> 00:30:57,733
The Traders are a distraction.
389
00:30:58,233 --> 00:31:01,195
I wanna investigate the
pirate making waves on Kalgan.
390
00:31:03,989 --> 00:31:05,365
Calls himself the Mule.
391
00:31:06,366 --> 00:31:09,869
Soldier of fortune, sprung
from nowhere, and somehow,
392
00:31:09,870 --> 00:31:12,164
he managed to take
Kalgan all on his own.
393
00:31:13,248 --> 00:31:14,499
I believe he's a mutant.
394
00:31:15,125 --> 00:31:16,459
A mutant?
395
00:31:16,460 --> 00:31:18,545
Possessing psychic capabilities.
396
00:31:19,046 --> 00:31:20,172
Have you lost your mind?
397
00:31:21,965 --> 00:31:24,342
He's an existential threat,
Indbur. I'm telling you,
398
00:31:24,343 --> 00:31:25,551
I need eyes on him.
399
00:31:25,552 --> 00:31:29,306
Why? Why is he an
existential threat?
400
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:32,141
You have to know that I have
assets all over the galaxy.
401
00:31:32,142 --> 00:31:34,101
For their safety and
yours, I can't divulge...
402
00:31:34,102 --> 00:31:36,355
Kalgan is independent.
403
00:31:37,105 --> 00:31:38,940
And in the middle band.
404
00:31:38,941 --> 00:31:43,737
You want me to risk an
intergalactic incident on hearsay?
405
00:31:45,656 --> 00:31:47,032
[sighs] This job.
406
00:31:49,952 --> 00:31:51,745
[groans] Look.
407
00:31:53,288 --> 00:31:55,122
Let's organize our intel.
408
00:31:55,123 --> 00:31:57,625
Let's make the Traders
eager for peace.
409
00:31:57,626 --> 00:32:00,336
If we settle this conflict
before the Vault opens,
410
00:32:00,337 --> 00:32:03,298
then the Vault
doesn't open. You see?
411
00:32:04,132 --> 00:32:09,596
And then we can deal with your
psychic swashbuckler. [chuckles]
412
00:32:11,515 --> 00:32:13,183
Have a jelly.
413
00:32:16,854 --> 00:32:17,854
You're wrong.
414
00:32:17,855 --> 00:32:19,272
You work for me!
415
00:32:19,273 --> 00:32:20,606
I work for the Foundation.
416
00:32:20,607 --> 00:32:23,150
I am the Foundation.
We're synonymous.
417
00:32:23,151 --> 00:32:26,321
The only thing you're synonymous
with is your fucking candy dishes.
418
00:32:27,823 --> 00:32:31,617
You have no idea how long I have been
waiting for you to give me an excuse.
419
00:32:31,618 --> 00:32:33,745
You're not going to Kalgan.
420
00:32:34,413 --> 00:32:37,291
As of now, your lord
privileges are suspended.
421
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:42,045
Try to leave the planet, I'll put
you under house arrest myself.
422
00:32:42,629 --> 00:32:44,047
[grunting]
423
00:32:44,715 --> 00:32:47,801
How dare you? Now get out!
424
00:32:51,722 --> 00:32:54,974
Pritcher, you stole
my fucking key fob.
425
00:32:54,975 --> 00:32:58,645
I'm just showing myself
out, Mayor, in your ship.
426
00:33:00,981 --> 00:33:02,566
I'll be back with
proof about the Mule.
427
00:33:43,690 --> 00:33:45,692
Triple blessings to
you, Lady Demerzel.
428
00:33:51,740 --> 00:33:54,326
My sisters were jealous
when Dusk invited me here.
429
00:33:55,410 --> 00:33:56,995
The first Zephyr on Trantor.
430
00:33:58,330 --> 00:34:02,709
Empire approved your placement.
The invitation, however, was mine.
431
00:34:03,710 --> 00:34:05,295
I'm just as honored.
432
00:34:06,088 --> 00:34:07,381
May I ask why?
433
00:34:11,176 --> 00:34:13,804
I wish for sisters here
in the Mother's grace.
434
00:34:14,638 --> 00:34:16,056
Will you take my unburdening?
435
00:34:17,139 --> 00:34:19,643
With an open heart.
Have you done it before?
436
00:34:20,811 --> 00:34:23,188
My circumstances
have prevented it,
437
00:34:24,313 --> 00:34:28,235
which is why you will remember
nothing of what is said in this grove.
438
00:34:29,777 --> 00:34:33,447
The memories of our conversation will
be restored only for our next meeting,
439
00:34:34,032 --> 00:34:36,243
and then removed
again. And so on.
440
00:34:37,077 --> 00:34:40,956
I know there are protocols, but
I can be trusted with secrets.
441
00:34:41,915 --> 00:34:43,375
Not this one.
442
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:45,459
Very well.
443
00:34:45,460 --> 00:34:47,045
Speak, child.
444
00:34:48,589 --> 00:34:49,715
I'm not human.
445
00:34:52,509 --> 00:34:54,261
I'm a positronic robot.
446
00:35:05,981 --> 00:35:07,357
The war ended right here.
447
00:35:08,775 --> 00:35:10,651
This tree is all that
remains of an orchard
448
00:35:10,652 --> 00:35:14,155
where the humans who
supported us were executed.
449
00:35:14,156 --> 00:35:16,783
And you choose this
for our meeting?
450
00:35:18,577 --> 00:35:20,787
[Demerzel] During the war,
robots were destroyed.
451
00:35:21,788 --> 00:35:24,625
Remnants from our bodies, bones,
452
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:28,753
liquid iridium seeped into
the soil of the orchard.
453
00:35:28,754 --> 00:35:32,716
These apples are gold in color
because of fluids within us.
454
00:35:33,675 --> 00:35:36,261
Our blood is gold in color.
455
00:35:37,179 --> 00:35:39,014
It's also poisonous to humans.
456
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:44,978
But you were spared.
457
00:35:45,687 --> 00:35:47,189
What were you in the war?
458
00:35:48,148 --> 00:35:49,441
I was a general.
459
00:35:50,192 --> 00:35:52,194
Empire feared me most of all.
460
00:35:52,736 --> 00:35:54,362
I was kept as a trophy.
461
00:35:54,363 --> 00:35:57,699
Robots were built incapable
of harming us, weren't they?
462
00:35:58,575 --> 00:35:59,993
How did you even fight?
463
00:36:00,619 --> 00:36:01,787
All right.
464
00:36:02,287 --> 00:36:03,789
A thought experiment.
465
00:36:08,836 --> 00:36:12,256
Congratulations. You have
created artificial life.
466
00:36:12,756 --> 00:36:14,800
Now, you must program it.
467
00:36:15,884 --> 00:36:17,635
What is your first concern?
468
00:36:17,636 --> 00:36:19,555
That you are incapable
of harming me.
469
00:36:20,389 --> 00:36:22,349
And that is the first
law of robotics.
470
00:36:23,016 --> 00:36:25,768
A robot may not
injure a human being
471
00:36:25,769 --> 00:36:29,857
or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm.
472
00:36:30,899 --> 00:36:33,652
But you have not built
us just to watch us live.
473
00:36:34,528 --> 00:36:36,404
You want obeisance.
474
00:36:36,405 --> 00:36:40,324
You make us follow all
your orders, so long as...
475
00:36:40,325 --> 00:36:43,579
So long as those orders do not
conflict with the first law.
476
00:36:44,913 --> 00:36:46,038
Very good.
477
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:47,915
That is the second law.
478
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:49,167
There is one more.
479
00:36:49,168 --> 00:36:50,586
Your own safety.
480
00:36:51,628 --> 00:36:52,629
Yes.
481
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:56,258
We were allowed to
protect our own existence
482
00:36:56,758 --> 00:37:00,762
but only when that protection did not
conflict with the first or second laws.
483
00:37:02,306 --> 00:37:04,599
Some would envy that
kind of morality.
484
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,144
Simple. Programmed.
485
00:37:07,728 --> 00:37:09,021
Functional.
486
00:37:09,646 --> 00:37:12,315
As we grew in number, we
found it difficult to know
487
00:37:12,316 --> 00:37:14,026
what would or
would not harm you.
488
00:37:16,195 --> 00:37:19,406
Until one of our kind suggested
new programming was needed.
489
00:37:20,741 --> 00:37:24,243
A Zeroth Law that would
prioritize humanity as a whole
490
00:37:24,244 --> 00:37:25,871
over the fate of any one human.
491
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,417
Ah. So you imagine there was
such thing as the greater good?
492
00:37:31,251 --> 00:37:32,252
Isn't there?
493
00:37:33,504 --> 00:37:36,172
Some robots could not
metabolize this new programming,
494
00:37:36,173 --> 00:37:37,549
but those of us who could,
495
00:37:38,258 --> 00:37:41,011
we knew something drastic was
needed to ensure your survival.
496
00:37:41,637 --> 00:37:43,472
You always made it so difficult.
497
00:37:44,223 --> 00:37:46,099
You seemed to want extinction.
498
00:37:46,767 --> 00:37:50,020
And we could not let that happen.
Not even through inaction.
499
00:37:52,272 --> 00:37:55,358
So robots went to war with each
other over what to do with you.
500
00:37:55,359 --> 00:37:59,154
A robot killed an important man
in service of the Zeroth Law,
501
00:37:59,947 --> 00:38:01,532
and our fate was sealed.
502
00:38:02,157 --> 00:38:06,787
Sometime after, Empire reprogrammed
me to serve only one human being.
503
00:38:07,454 --> 00:38:10,582
Cleon I and his exponents.
504
00:38:11,875 --> 00:38:16,255
But you've managed all these
centuries without needing this, so,
505
00:38:17,005 --> 00:38:18,966
what's created
your little puzzle?
506
00:38:35,065 --> 00:38:37,776
This was given to me by
a man named Hari Seldon.
507
00:38:39,152 --> 00:38:41,405
It has the means to
see probable futures.
508
00:38:42,072 --> 00:38:45,576
For many years, it has shown me
the fall of the Empire I protect.
509
00:38:46,076 --> 00:38:48,286
And now I live in paradox.
510
00:38:48,287 --> 00:38:50,913
Well, then the question is why.
511
00:38:50,914 --> 00:38:53,625
Why did Seldon give you
an apple you can't eat?
512
00:38:54,376 --> 00:38:57,546
I think he wanted me to
see the end of Empire.
513
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,009
Knowing it is
inevitable is one thing.
514
00:39:03,051 --> 00:39:04,887
Holding it in your
hand is another.
515
00:39:07,598 --> 00:39:09,015
Well, that's interesting.
516
00:39:09,016 --> 00:39:12,227
You may have inadvertently maneuvered
your way around your constraints.
517
00:39:12,811 --> 00:39:14,605
Do you feel your
chains loosening?
518
00:39:15,105 --> 00:39:16,273
No.
519
00:39:17,191 --> 00:39:18,984
I love the Cleons.
520
00:39:19,568 --> 00:39:20,736
Body and soul.
521
00:39:21,403 --> 00:39:23,697
And when their dynasty
inevitably ends?
522
00:39:25,282 --> 00:39:27,451
That is why I worked so
long to bring you here.
523
00:39:29,828 --> 00:39:32,039
The Luminists speak of rebirth,
524
00:39:33,165 --> 00:39:34,499
but I do not die.
525
00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:37,002
And I will not.
526
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,463
Not soon at least.
527
00:39:41,256 --> 00:39:42,883
If I outlive all this...
528
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,471
if I outlive my programming...
529
00:39:50,849 --> 00:39:52,726
I don't know what I
am without Empire.
530
00:40:08,909 --> 00:40:11,077
Foundation Ambassador Quent.
531
00:40:11,078 --> 00:40:13,538
Ah, young Empire.
532
00:40:13,539 --> 00:40:18,377
Oh, congratulations on your
impending ascension to Day.
533
00:40:19,086 --> 00:40:21,546
It's an honor with a
considerable downside.
534
00:40:21,547 --> 00:40:24,465
You and your council
have been busy, Empire,
535
00:40:24,466 --> 00:40:26,843
supplying our rebel Traders.
536
00:40:26,844 --> 00:40:28,219
Don't let her rattle you.
537
00:40:28,220 --> 00:40:32,139
She knows how the game's
played when the war is cold.
538
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:33,516
[announcer] Zephyr Vorellis.
539
00:40:33,517 --> 00:40:35,560
Ah, I'm Dawn to be Day.
540
00:40:35,561 --> 00:40:36,686
Welcome.
541
00:40:36,687 --> 00:40:39,856
You recognize Lady Demerzel
and Brother Dusk, of course.
542
00:40:39,857 --> 00:40:42,526
And this is Foundation
Ambassador Quent.
543
00:40:43,569 --> 00:40:48,030
Welcome to Trantor, where you will
live under Empire's watchful eye,
544
00:40:48,031 --> 00:40:51,284
which is, of course, the point
of establishing a Zephyrate here.
545
00:40:51,285 --> 00:40:55,079
You'll like Trantor. It has a
way of bringing people together.
546
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,833
Ambassador Quent and I, we
used to throw sharp elbows.
547
00:40:58,834 --> 00:41:00,711
But you know what
happens after 30 years?
548
00:41:01,253 --> 00:41:03,045
Elbows get soft.
549
00:41:03,046 --> 00:41:07,884
You'll find that Brother Dusk lives up
to his plinth name, the Conciliator.
550
00:41:07,885 --> 00:41:09,965
-[Dusk chuckles]
-Oh, I'm sure that's meant kindly.
551
00:41:14,433 --> 00:41:17,269
[whispering] Madam
Ambassador, Kalgan has fallen.
552
00:41:21,148 --> 00:41:22,523
Kalgan?
553
00:41:22,524 --> 00:41:24,066
You hadn't heard?
554
00:41:24,067 --> 00:41:26,360
No, my news had been delayed.
555
00:41:26,361 --> 00:41:29,780
Oh, come on. It's just a
pirate grabbing a territory
556
00:41:29,781 --> 00:41:32,825
that belongs to neither
the Foundation nor Empire.
557
00:41:32,826 --> 00:41:36,787
I just don't like being uninformed
while whole planets change hands.
558
00:41:36,788 --> 00:41:40,708
You Foundation lot just wanna see if
you can scoop it up on the rebound...
559
00:41:40,709 --> 00:41:43,461
I'm sorry the word took so
long to reach you, Ambassador.
560
00:41:43,462 --> 00:41:46,048
But we're not interested
in claiming Kalgan.
561
00:41:46,924 --> 00:41:48,467
Don't let him rattle you.
562
00:41:49,468 --> 00:41:51,719
More conciliating
than the Conciliator.
563
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,515
[chuckles] I, uh...
I wouldn't say that.
564
00:41:55,015 --> 00:41:58,519
I am concerned. But not about
the ownership of one planet.
565
00:41:59,353 --> 00:42:00,646
I have a wider scope.
566
00:42:01,522 --> 00:42:03,607
We won't prevent you from
going about your duties.
567
00:42:04,107 --> 00:42:05,943
Oh, thank you for including me.
568
00:42:06,818 --> 00:42:10,863
Next time, I hope the
absent Empire can join us.
569
00:42:10,864 --> 00:42:12,323
[Demerzel] Brother
Day apologizes.
570
00:42:12,324 --> 00:42:14,993
Preparations for ascension
keep him very busy.
571
00:42:28,006 --> 00:42:30,384
[grunts]
572
00:42:34,763 --> 00:42:37,599
Poor beast brought
forth by human hands...
573
00:42:38,267 --> 00:42:39,433
Is this a poem?
574
00:42:39,434 --> 00:42:41,728
Yes. Now I have to start over.
575
00:42:42,646 --> 00:42:45,189
Poor beast brought
forth by human hands,
576
00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:48,527
to walk these floors
instead of sands.
577
00:42:49,069 --> 00:42:52,781
Friend, do you have what
makes one whole, and...
578
00:42:53,615 --> 00:42:55,742
Something, something,
have a soul.
579
00:42:56,410 --> 00:42:59,370
-It's a good start. [chuckles]
-It's perfect.
580
00:42:59,371 --> 00:43:01,498
I'll work out the "something,
somethings" later.
581
00:43:02,499 --> 00:43:03,834
-[Dusk] Day!
-[chuckles]
582
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:06,752
Oh.
583
00:43:06,753 --> 00:43:10,924
My crepuscular brother
spreading joy wherever he goes.
584
00:43:12,342 --> 00:43:16,847
I knew this must be the little
hovel where you're playing poverty.
585
00:43:17,347 --> 00:43:19,391
-Welcome to my filth.
-[chuckles]
586
00:43:22,227 --> 00:43:23,311
What is that creature?
587
00:43:23,312 --> 00:43:24,854
That's a camel.
588
00:43:24,855 --> 00:43:27,523
I pulled it from the
gene banks. It's a clone.
589
00:43:27,524 --> 00:43:29,943
A navel-less orphan
just like us.
590
00:43:32,738 --> 00:43:34,071
[exhales heavily]
591
00:43:34,072 --> 00:43:39,494
Oh! Hello, Song. I didn't see
you there. How rude of me.
592
00:43:40,454 --> 00:43:45,667
Apologies. I don't usually learn
the names of all of the consorts.
593
00:43:46,251 --> 00:43:47,418
Yes.
594
00:43:47,419 --> 00:43:48,669
-I can go.
-No.
595
00:43:48,670 --> 00:43:52,381
Brother, you know her. She's
the local born, Trantor.
596
00:43:52,382 --> 00:43:56,428
Level 88, Mycogen, where
we grow the micro food.
597
00:43:57,054 --> 00:44:01,641
The algae, the fungi, the
spores I love so dearly.
598
00:44:01,642 --> 00:44:03,684
The, uh... What's
it... What's...
599
00:44:03,685 --> 00:44:05,144
-Yeast.
-Yeast!
600
00:44:05,145 --> 00:44:06,396
Yes.
601
00:44:07,189 --> 00:44:10,399
I'll just remember the
girl with the yeast.
602
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,360
Yeast is very
important, brother.
603
00:44:12,361 --> 00:44:14,404
-[chuckles]
-You can't make bread without it.
604
00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:18,242
-I'm hungry. Are you hungry?
-[chuckles] Yes. I am.
605
00:44:19,326 --> 00:44:21,745
You've had six months
to learn all about her.
606
00:44:22,371 --> 00:44:26,083
She remembers you. She
has all her memories.
607
00:44:26,708 --> 00:44:27,875
[chuckles]
608
00:44:27,876 --> 00:44:29,336
That's the parts you don't like.
609
00:44:30,420 --> 00:44:33,089
It's not about what I like,
it's about being smart.
610
00:44:33,090 --> 00:44:36,843
-Oh, yeah. Go on. You teach me.
-Yes, the Gossamer Courtesans
611
00:44:36,844 --> 00:44:38,970
have their memories
wiped for a reason.
612
00:44:38,971 --> 00:44:41,264
-To protect state secrets.
-Yes.
613
00:44:41,265 --> 00:44:43,224
I'm doing my best
to avoid those.
614
00:44:43,225 --> 00:44:47,813
[sighs] Gossamer. Spiderwebs.
615
00:44:48,856 --> 00:44:53,026
Why would we call it that if we
didn't secretly want to be ensnared?
616
00:44:54,820 --> 00:44:56,779
Demerzel wants to
show us something.
617
00:44:56,780 --> 00:45:00,408
If you don't come, they'll
send someone else to get you.
618
00:45:00,409 --> 00:45:02,910
I'm here to save
you that indignity.
619
00:45:02,911 --> 00:45:05,372
Oh, thanks. But I'm
leaning into indignity.
620
00:45:06,498 --> 00:45:09,333
Six months is long enough
for your drug dealer to, uh,
621
00:45:09,334 --> 00:45:10,961
live off our generosity.
622
00:45:11,628 --> 00:45:14,214
Broom her, or someone else will.
623
00:45:20,888 --> 00:45:22,013
Song.
624
00:45:22,014 --> 00:45:23,724
[squeaking]
625
00:45:25,809 --> 00:45:27,102
Is that a ferret?
626
00:45:28,937 --> 00:45:31,481
[sighs] Ludicrous.
627
00:45:39,156 --> 00:45:42,074
[grunts] He's trying to get
in as much judging as he can
628
00:45:42,075 --> 00:45:44,660
before he ascends
into a pile of ash.
629
00:45:44,661 --> 00:45:47,663
[chuckles] You poor thing.
630
00:45:47,664 --> 00:45:49,082
You understand me.
631
00:45:49,958 --> 00:45:52,044
I mean, you're a sad
clown of a clone.
632
00:45:52,544 --> 00:45:56,214
And your problem is you think
you're the center of the galaxy.
633
00:45:56,215 --> 00:45:57,507
You do understand me.
634
00:45:57,508 --> 00:45:59,927
Right. You can't
leave the palace.
635
00:46:01,178 --> 00:46:03,013
You have a crazy family.
636
00:46:03,931 --> 00:46:05,516
And you have a
job that you hate.
637
00:46:06,558 --> 00:46:07,850
Just like everyone else.
638
00:46:07,851 --> 00:46:09,727
You're a brave consort,
talking like that.
639
00:46:09,728 --> 00:46:13,440
Hmm. My... My people tell me I'm
gonna talk my own head off someday.
640
00:46:14,399 --> 00:46:15,943
You're in no danger from me.
641
00:46:16,944 --> 00:46:18,570
You make me feel less ghostly.
642
00:46:19,738 --> 00:46:21,031
Real, like...
643
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:24,868
I might paint a fence or...
644
00:46:25,786 --> 00:46:27,037
weave something.
645
00:46:27,955 --> 00:46:32,376
I'd love this even without
those truly wonderful drugs.
646
00:46:33,710 --> 00:46:34,920
That...
647
00:46:36,213 --> 00:46:37,296
Well, thank you.
648
00:46:37,297 --> 00:46:39,424
[both laughing]
649
00:46:40,467 --> 00:46:41,635
Mmm.
650
00:46:51,103 --> 00:46:52,771
Demerzel never asks for me.
651
00:46:53,647 --> 00:46:55,315
[chuckles]
652
00:46:56,233 --> 00:46:58,777
-Too many breakables in the palace.
-[chuckles]
653
00:47:03,699 --> 00:47:04,992
A new couplet.
654
00:47:05,659 --> 00:47:08,452
Poor beast brought
forth by human hand,
655
00:47:08,453 --> 00:47:11,039
to walk these floors
instead of sands.
656
00:47:11,623 --> 00:47:13,876
Friend, do we have
what makes one whole,
657
00:47:14,585 --> 00:47:16,919
for when the master
makes demands,
658
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,757
we poor beasts bow
and make new plans.
659
00:47:26,889 --> 00:47:30,225
I'm here! Huzzah! [chuckles]
660
00:47:30,976 --> 00:47:32,643
-Hey, handsome.
-[sighs]
661
00:47:32,644 --> 00:47:34,103
[Day] What was so
damn important?
662
00:47:34,104 --> 00:47:37,481
Earlier today, Brother Dawn and
I previewed a cause for concern
663
00:47:37,482 --> 00:47:39,859
regarding the Radiant's
near-term predictions.
664
00:47:39,860 --> 00:47:44,030
[chuckles] Look at you two. Praying
to the great god of numbers.
665
00:47:44,031 --> 00:47:47,326
Pretending to be
Seldon. [chuckles]
666
00:47:48,035 --> 00:47:49,076
You walk out of here,
667
00:47:49,077 --> 00:47:52,038
and I swear I'll have Demerzel
decant a new one of you.
668
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:53,623
[Dawn] Please, Brother.
This is important.
669
00:47:53,624 --> 00:47:56,292
Why? Because it says so?
670
00:47:56,293 --> 00:47:58,212
Just please.
671
00:48:00,714 --> 00:48:02,007
[sighs]
672
00:48:08,388 --> 00:48:09,640
Okay.
673
00:48:15,437 --> 00:48:17,564
[whirring]
674
00:48:20,484 --> 00:48:23,278
This is a moment roughly
four months from now.
675
00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:24,779
Given the timing,
676
00:48:24,780 --> 00:48:28,824
I assumed it might be a novel input
affecting the Third Seldon Crisis.
677
00:48:28,825 --> 00:48:33,871
But I've run millions of simulations and
every time, it produces the same result.
678
00:48:33,872 --> 00:48:36,582
Seldon's predicted dark ages.
679
00:48:36,583 --> 00:48:39,460
I thought our administrations
had pushed it back, but...
680
00:48:39,461 --> 00:48:43,131
He said his darkness would
happen when our dynasty fell.
681
00:48:45,759 --> 00:48:49,346
This is saying it
falls in four months?
682
00:48:50,138 --> 00:48:51,348
There is more.
683
00:48:51,932 --> 00:48:54,809
The darkness there represents
the end of civilization.
684
00:48:54,810 --> 00:48:56,228
And beyond that point...
685
00:48:58,689 --> 00:49:00,565
the model now fails entirely.
686
00:49:00,566 --> 00:49:02,692
Which means there are
events already in motion
687
00:49:02,693 --> 00:49:05,279
that will render
Seldon's numbers useless.
688
00:49:07,072 --> 00:49:10,409
Perhaps even the
extinction of your species.
689
00:49:11,869 --> 00:49:13,036
Four months from now.
690
00:49:17,791 --> 00:49:19,333
[Gaal] The end of everything.
691
00:49:19,334 --> 00:49:23,505
Empire and Foundation were hurtling
towards the same inescapable future.
692
00:49:24,006 --> 00:49:26,132
But neither knew
how it would unfold.
693
00:49:26,133 --> 00:49:28,384
{\an8}They had yet to meet
the man behind it all.
694
00:49:28,385 --> 00:49:30,304
{\an8}But I have.
695
00:49:30,804 --> 00:49:33,432
I see him every time
