Emotional Logic

Romulan Bird-Of-Prey Attack | Part 2 - 

Star Trek Strange New Worlds S01E10

STILES: 

We have to attack 

immediately.

KIRK: Explain.

STILES: They're still on our side of the Neutral Zone. 

There would be no doubt they broke The Treaty.

SULU: Attack, without a visible target? How do we aim our phasers?

STILES: Aim with sensors. Not accurate, but if we blanket them

SULU: And hope for a lucky shot before they zero in on us?

STILES: 

And if we don't? Once back, they'll report that we saw their weapons and ran.

SULU: 

And if they could report they destroyed us?

STILES: 

These are Romulans! You run away from them and you guarantee war. 

They'll be back. Not just one ship but with everything they've got. 

You know that, Mister Science Officer. 

You're the expert on these people, 

always left out that one point. Why? 

I'm very interested in why.

KIRK:
Sit down, Mister.

SPOCK: 

I agree. Attack.

KIRK: 

Are you suggesting we 

fight to prevent A Fight?

MCCOY: 

Based on what? Memories of 

a war over a century ago? 

On theories about a people 

we've never even met face to face?

STILES: 

We know what they look like.

SPOCK: 

Yes, indeed we do, Mister Stiles. 

And if Romulans are an offshoot of my 

Vulcan blood, and I think this likely, then 

attack becomes even more imperative.

MCCOY: 

War is never imperative, Mister Spock.

SPOCK: 

It is for them, Doctor. Vulcan, like Earth, 

had its aggressive colonising period. 

Savage, even by Earth standards. And if Romulans 

retain this martial philosophy, then 

Weakness is something we dare not show.

Do you really want a galactic 

war on your conscience?

Uhura Listening —

The Captain : Can you play back The Recording? 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : ......I can't find it, sir. 

It WAS there, Captain.... 

It's probably just a glitch...

I'll run a FULL diagnostic on the communication system. 

(So, some time later, just adjacent to Main Engineering -- )

Lt. HEMMER'S GHOST  [ON VIDEO] : 

First, disable the subspace antenna; 

Check for a charge on the EPS manifold 

before disconnecting this tap -- (she does) Perfect.

Now, if there's any residual ionization... - 

[DOOR WHOOSHES OPEN]  

... here is where you'll find it --

Cmdr. PELIA, Chief Engineer : 

Uh, what the hell are you doing inside my nacelle? 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) :

Sorry. I am recalibrating the communications array. 

The antenna assembly goes through the nacelles. 

I like to be thorough, and I've asked for so many of 

these recalibrations that eventually Hemmer got annoyed 

and said it would be easier to show me how to do it myself. 

You know, : "Teach A Cadet to fish --" So we made a recording.

.....Hemmer was our Chief Engineer, before he --

Cmdr. PELIA, Chief Engineer : -- I know. 

He was one of my best students --

.....I'm sorry, I just said 

that because he's dead; 

Actually, he was just okay. 

But look... 

(she indicates The Cathedral 

in which they are both now currently standing --)

Look what he made of himself. 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : [CHUCKLES] Right. 

Anyway, I'm almost done --

Cmdr. PELIA, Chief Engineer : 

.....How come you never

 talked to me before...? 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : Uh, I'm... (increasingly 

embarrassed, tries to recall clearly) I'm sure I have --

Cmdr. PELIA, Chief Engineer : 

Oh, no. No, no. 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : Oh. I'm sorry. I've just 

been busy, I guess -- Welcome to The Enterprise. 

(She takes her leave -- )

Lt. HEMMER'S GHOST  [ON VIDEO] : 

... here is where you'll find it. 

Now, what do you do next? 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : 

I don't know. 

Lt. HEMMER'S GHOST  [ON VIDEO] : 

[SHORT CHUCKLE] I won't let you 

blow up The Ship, I promise.

....Not that!  [GASPS]

 [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Important Lesson : Be less gullible. 

Cadet Uhura (Aged 23) : Hey! 

Lt. HEMMER'S GHOST  [ON VIDEO] : Back to Work --

Let's start by turning down the gain on the subspace antenna...

All The Women Have a Boom on Them

Manhunter Will Graham figures it out.

...but He doesn't 

TAKE anything.

There's no souvenirs 

taken from The Houses.

He needs souvenirs or 

trophies to re-live The Event.

Maybe he records it somehow...

so he could see himself accepted

over, and over, and over again.

VTRs, Polaroids, stills, what?

How do I know?

How does he find 'em?

When we find out how 

he found them,

we'll find him.

There is no connection

between the two families.

We've done a dozen computer runs.

Jack, all The Women

have A Bloom on them.

He didn't win them in A Lottery,

he picked these women.

There's selection and design

in his choices.

Look, admit we struck out

this month.

The Lear Jet is standing by,

the basic lab stuff is on it.

You, Zeller, Jimmy Price,

the photographer,

anywhere he hits, we can be there

in an hour and 15 minutes.

We get the call, we roll.

The scene will be fresh,

fresher than we've ever had it.

It's not over yet.

Oh, for Christ's sake!

It's a foregone conclusion.

It's 11:30 p.m., the full moon

is happening tonight.

Give it up! Forget this month,

it's too damn late!

I gave it up.

Till you showed up with pictures

of two dead families,

knowing goddamn-well

that I'd imagine families

three, four, five, and six, right?

You're f'cking right I did,

and I'd do it again!

Great! But don't talk to me

about late, pal.

I'll tell you

when it's too f*cking late!

Until then, we go as late

as I want to take it!

A padlock.

That's why the bolt cutter.

What's that?

He used a bolt cutter

to trim away the branch

when he was watching

from the woods.

Why didn't he use the bolt cutter

on the garage door?

Because a deadbolt was there

when they were killed.

Donald Jacobi's 

12th birthday party

was April 14.

Sometime between

April 14 and August 1

they changed the lock.

But he thought

there was a padlock there.

From the street,

you can't see |the glass

in The Leeds' kitchen door.

There's a big, 

high fence there.

But he was ready

with his glass-cutter.

So either he was 

casing far ahead

and we didn't check 

back  far enough,

or...

We checked.

Don't Talk.

Metcalfe, it's Graham --

Is the Leeds and Jacobi stuff

still in the storeroom?

Have The Guard down there call me.

Do it.

You know that's The Jacobis' cat.

You brought a bolt-cutter 'cause

you thought there was a padlock.

The Leeds' dog

doesn't have a collar,

but you know it's 

The Leeds' dog,

don't you, My Man?

See The Woman?

The Bloom on The Woman?

You can see her again and again

anytime you want.

Doggie doesn't have a collar,

but you know it's The Leeds' dog.

And The Jacobi cat.

And the padlock on the door;

And you know you need a bolt cutter

and every other g*dd*mn thing

because everything with you

is seeing, isn't it?

Your primary sensory intake

that makes your dream live

is seeing -- Reflections, 

mirrors, images...

You've seen these films --

Haven't you, my man?

It's The Guard 

in the storeroom.

The cans.

What cans?

The tapes were transferred

from Home Movies.

Where's the packaging

the films came in?

There's films of the families

in the document storage. Find them.

You got 'em?

Are there any labels?

Leeds can, Gateway Lab,

St. Louis, Missouri.

The Jacobi label 

will say the same thing as 

The Leeds label :

Gateway Lab,

St. Louis, Missouri.

Who processed The Jacobi film?

No. Bob's Photo Store, Birmingham.

Stores send them out.

Have him peel the top label back.

Is there a label underneath?

It does, doesn't it?

No-one has been able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.

Trump jokes David Lynch's career 'is over' as he quotes Guardian interview

" -- so, here's A Story 

that just came out --

David Lynch, you know 

the great filmmaker ...

David Lynch, he 

puts down -- Headline :

"Trump could go down ...

This is a Hollywood guy, The Reason 

I do this is, you know, You don't HEAR this ...

....and plenty of them voted for Me --

Plenty of them voted for Me.

David Lynch (sic) "could go down

as one of the greatest presidents in History."

Of course, there goes his career, right? 

In Holly ...

"Veteran filmmaker, David Lynch, believes

President Donald Trump could be remembered

as one of The Greatest Presidents in American History 

because of the way he has shaken up the political establishment --"

and because of what I've done.

However, he now appears to believe –

-- because he was a Democrat, or is a Democrat

or something -- He actually voted for Obama. Ha ha.

And here it says: 'He voted 

for Bernie Sanders,' OK?

But he now ...

It says: "However, he now appears to believe

that Trump may have been the right choice after all."

He goes on to say that Trump "could go down

as one of The Greatest Presidents in History

because he has disrupted this thing so much.

No-one has been able to counter this guy

in an intelligent way."
