Clips from Star Trek: Discovery - Species Ten-C (S04E04)

"Now, we're assuming that the hydrocarbons are"
Star Trek: Discovery
"only about emotions, but..."
Star Trek: Discovery
"what if it's also a language of some kind?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"How could the hydrocarbons contain"
Star Trek: Discovery
"emotional and semantic content?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"NILSSON: Maybe it's like music."
Star Trek: Discovery
"A piano piece evokes emotion but also has"
Star Trek: Discovery
"a structure of pitches, note lengths, tempo."
Star Trek: Discovery
"BURNHAM: Yes, what if the hydrocarbons are the structure?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"If each is a symbol, or a word,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"then the molecules themselves are the message."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Zora, will you display a holo"
Star Trek: Discovery
"of one of the molecules we received?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Okay, if we're meant to read this,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"how do we do it? Where do we start?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Which direction do we go?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"It's like an encrypted message, but we're missing a key."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Maybe the lights are a key."
Star Trek: Discovery
"- A star map is a 2 - D rendering - to help us navigate 3 - D space."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Maybe the Ten-C's light pattern is a map"
Star Trek: Discovery
"to help us read the hydrocarbons in a specific order."
Star Trek: Discovery
"BURNHAM: Zora, show us the light pattern."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Can you turn this - into a 3 - D model"
Star Trek: Discovery
"using maximum brightness levels as the Z-axis variable?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"ZORA: Of course, Captain."
Star Trek: Discovery
"If I move the light map over the molecule..."
Star Trek: Discovery
"[gasps]"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Zora, try the lights again."
Star Trek: Discovery
"BURNHAM: And there we go."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Now we can read the message in the order they intended."
Star Trek: Discovery
"What it means to "read" a message, however..."
Star Trek: Discovery
"- Zora, start analyzing. - Yes, Captain."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Thank you."
Star Trek: Discovery
"I'll see you all on the bridge."
Star Trek: Discovery
"[sighs]"
Star Trek: Discovery
"♪"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Hey, Book the Fifth,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"you've been replicating my licorice refill"
Star Trek: Discovery
"since the dawn of time."
Star Trek: Discovery
"It was literally ten seconds."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Be a gentleman."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Hand that to me like the lady that I am."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Your friend Tarka's gonna kill us all."
Star Trek: Discovery
"What are you talking about?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"I saw his calculations."
Star Trek: Discovery
"If he pulls the power source while the DMA's up and running,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"the hyperfield will implode,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"destroying everything and everyone inside of it."
Star Trek: Discovery
"He said it'd be safe."
Star Trek: Discovery
"He lied."
Star Trek: Discovery
"And the subspace rift it'll leave near Earth"
Star Trek: Discovery
"will kill everyone almost as fast as the DMA would."
Star Trek: Discovery
"You're just saying that so I'll let you out."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Tell him to show you the math."
Star Trek: Discovery
"His equations won't make any sense,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"but the look on his face will."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Like I said, pain makes people blind."
Star Trek: Discovery
"You need to make this right."
Star Trek: Discovery
"♪"
Star Trek: Discovery
"BURNHAM: Uh, how are we doing, Zora?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Were you able to decode the molecule?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"ZORA: I believe so."
Star Trek: Discovery
"I assigned a letter to each of"
Star Trek: Discovery
"the individual hydrocarbons,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"and then placed them in the order designated by the lights."
Star Trek: Discovery
"The resulting pattern seems to represent"
Star Trek: Discovery
"a series of mathematical equations."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Of course."
Star Trek: Discovery
"You say that like it's obvious."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Take a look at this arrangement."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Three of hydrocarbon A, one B, then one A."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Four A's, one B, three A's."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Here we have four A's, one B, two A's."
Star Trek: Discovery
"That's the pattern."
Star Trek: Discovery
"The first group of A's is always larger than the next."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Indicating that the B compound in the middle"
Star Trek: Discovery
"means "greater than.""
Star Trek: Discovery
"Now, there are other patterns as well."
Star Trek: Discovery
"T'RINA: Mr. Saru?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"SARU: Uh, simply put,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"they are trying to teach us a bridge language,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"- such as Lincos. - Exactly."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Lincos?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"BURNHAM: A language based on math."
Star Trek: Discovery
"The 21st-century Earth organization METI predicted"
Star Trek: Discovery
"that it would be helpful in extraplanetary communication."
Star Trek: Discovery
"The Ten-C must think that their language is"
Star Trek: Discovery
"too complicated for us to understand,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"so they're using this simpler one."
Star Trek: Discovery
"They're reaching back."
Star Trek: Discovery
"From here, we can build all sorts of communication."
Star Trek: Discovery
"If/then statements, complex logic."
Star Trek: Discovery
"We need to show them that we understand."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Can we send an equation of our own?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"If Zora gives me access to the ship's replicator,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"I can build a molecule and beam it directly onto the orb."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Then she'd just need to show them"
Star Trek: Discovery
"the map of lights so they can read it."
Star Trek: Discovery
"ZORA: I'd be happy to assist, Doctor."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Great. Get to work, both of you."
Star Trek: Discovery
"NDOYE: President T'Rina, may I have a word?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Shouldn't we be using this time to try and get out of the orb?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Everything all right?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"It seemed we were getting along so well,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"but at the meeting earlier, ah--"
Star Trek: Discovery
"she was rather strident."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Ah. But there are more important things."
Star Trek: Discovery
"It's not surprising."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Logic above all."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Vulcans often overcompensate in public to prove a point,"
Star Trek: Discovery
"especially when close relationships are involved."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Sarek used to do it all the time."
Star Trek: Discovery
"It drove me crazy."
Star Trek: Discovery
"Ah."
Star Trek: Discovery
"This context is most appreciated."
Star Trek: Discovery
"[Burnham chuckles]"
Star Trek: Discovery
"Happy to serve as a translator whenever you need."
Star Trek: Discovery
"HIRAI: Message is ready."
Star Trek: Discovery
"How do we feel about "four plus five equals nine"?"
Star Trek: Discovery
"I love math."
