01x12 - Mad Idolatry

[bunniefuu]

It's time to blast off
with the Orville.

-Is that a beer?
-I'm nervous. It's a new ship.
Want to make a good impression.

It's 9:15 in the morning.

Catch all-new episodes
Thursdays.

And check out our other
fox programs-- the gifted,

ghosted, and family guy.

Oh, my god!

Only on fox.

-Hey, man.
-Oh, hey, ed. What's up?

Hey, it's after shift.
I was gonna see

if you want to get a beer.

Oh, i-i totally would,

but I'm all jammed up here.

Oh, all good.
Just figured I'd check.

Jammed up.
Like, I'm in my jammies.

Yeah, no, i-i got it.

-Just making sure.
-All right, cool.

-Have a good sleep.
-Will do, brother.

All right.

Hey, captain, what's up?

Hey, John, I was just seeing
what you were up to.

I was thinking about grabbing
a drink in the mess hall.

Oh. Well, man,
that-that's really nice of you,

-but right now
is not-not the best time. -Oh.

That's all good. No worries.

John, who is it?

Oh, captain.

Ensign turco, hey.

-Uh, listen, I'm sorry
to bother you guys. -Hey, no.

It's all right. It's all good.

Do you want to come in
and have a drink with us?

You know, I just remembered

I have an early morning
tomorrow, so I...

-Oh, dang, that's a shame.
-Okay.

-Yeah.
-Hmm. -Yeah, dang.

-Hey, get those zs, though.
-I will.

-Okay. All right.
-Okay. -I will.

-Good night.
-Yeah.

Captain.

Is there a problem?

Oh, there's no problem.

I was just seeing
what you're up to.

Am I suspected of some misdeed?

No, bortus,

for god's sake,
this is a social call.

I-i just wanted to see
if you wanted to have a drink.

Klyden and i
have just put topa to bed.

You are welcome to join us
for a glass of opsadda.

Whatever that is, sounds great.

Thanks.

It is aged nine years.

The perfect duration
for good opsadda.

Man, if it, uh,
looks like this going in,

I'm afraid of what it looks like
coming out.

Opsadda does not come out.

It grows into a parasite
within the body.

The sensation

is intensely pleasurable.

Mmm.

Hmm.

That's excellent.

So, um...

What do moclans do
for fun off duty?

Do you guys play,
like, board games

or anything like that?

There is a popular moclan game

called latchkum
that we play from time to time.

Oh, well, break it out. Show me.

I do not believe
you would enjoy it.

-It is not for humans.
-Come on. You know what?

There's so much I don't know
about your culture.

I-i want to... I want to learn.

I will pass the latchkum to you,

then you pass it

to whomever you wish
as quickly as possible.

All right.

So, what, does this just go on

until somebody...

-Latchkum!
-Latchkum!

Hey. You awake, too?

Yeah. Can't sleep.

They were wrong
about the opsadda.

It does come out.

-What?
-Nothing.

My god, what happened
to your hand?

Oh, this.

I was playing a moclan game
with bortus.

What's insane is
apparently I won.

You should go down to sickbay
and get that fixed.

The explanation
for how this happened

is not something I want on file.

I was gonna ask you
to borrow a dermoscanner

from Claire tomorrow
and smuggle it to me.

No problem.

Hey, do you feel like going down

to the mess hall for a late one?

Sure.

Oh, god.

That is a lot better
than bortus' poo drink.

Oh.

The mess hall on a weeknight.

It's actually really pretty
when it's empty like this.

Yeah, it is.

You know, I've been doing
a lot of thinking

since darulio was on board.

So have I.

You have?

Yeah.

I mean, he basically implied

that it was the retepsian
pheromone that made you...

I know.

Right? And so that means...

Maybe it wasn't really
your fault.

I guess we'll never know
for sure,

but that's generous
of you to say.

No, it's not.

My motives
are completely selfish.

Really?

I, um...

I miss you.

And, you know, I was lying
in my quarters tonight,

and I was thinking to myself,

"man, I have been lonely
this past year."

And i-i had just gotten

so used to putting you
out of my mind

that I just
never even considered

getting back together.

And then that happened.

Do you...
Want to get back together?

What do you say
we do a date this week?

Like a... like a real date,
like we used to do.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

Good. So do I.

Whoa. Easy. We're moving

into uncharted space tomorrow.
You don't want to be hungover.

Call it a celebratory drink.

All right. Screw it.
Let's do this.

I'll never get used
to that sight.

An uncharted star
that's just waiting for us

to come along and discover it.

It's amazing, isn't it?

It's really bright.

Isaac, can you reduce
the illumination on the viewer?

Reducing illumination by 20%.

Bortus: Captain,

I am picking up
some unusual readings.

It is a distortion of some kind.

Coming from the star?

Isaac:
Negative.

It appears to be emanating

from beyond
the star's photosphere

in open space.

Do... um...

C-could you...

Do you mind shutting off
that beeping, please?

Oh. Yeah, sorry.

Oh, thank you.

Isaac:
These readings are most unusual.

It appears
to be a spatial anomaly,

but scanners
cannot clearly process it.

Captain, I would like
to take a shuttle

to investigate at closer range.

Or we could just

come back tomorrow
and see if it's still here.

Isaac: This could be a find
of some importance.

It would be foolish
to squander the opportunity.

It's fine. I'll go with you.

Gordon, you're with us.

Uh, bortus, have chief lamarr

take the helm.

Kelly, no unnecessary risks.

-All right? Give it
a wide berth. -Don't worry.

We'll make it quick.

Approaching the coordinates
of the anomaly.

Okay, slow us down.

Aye, sir.

Commander, these readings

-do not make any logical sense.
-What do you mean?

It is almost as if the fabric

of space itself is...

Lieutenant, what is it?

Commander, this can't be right.

It's atmosphere.

That's impossible.
We're in space.

Not anymore.

Ed:
My god.

What is that?

It is a planet.

I know it's a planet.
Where the hell did it come from?

-It just appeared.
Out of thin air. -Captain,

I'm picking up a signal
from the shuttle. Audio only.

Put 'em on.

Kelly:
Shuttle to Orville.

We've lost partial helm control.

Unable to stabilize.

We're gonna try to set down
somewhere if we can.

Where the hell are we?

This is not the day
for a hangover.

Ed:
Orville to shuttle.

-You guys okay?
-Uh, yeah.

We're a little banged up,
but we're okay.

What happened?

Captain, it appears
the instantaneous transition

from vacuum to atmosphere

caused an overload
in the engine core.

I believe
lieutenant Malloy and I

can repair it within the hour.

- Ed : You're sure?
- Yes, captain.

All right. We'll keep
this channel open just in case.

Bortus,
begin multispectral scans.

I want to know
everything there is to know

about that planet
and where it came from.

Aye, sir.

I'm gonna take a look around.

Don't leave without me, huh?

-We'll be here.
Oh, hey, commander... -What?

Please don't tell anybody
how much I screamed

when I thought
we were gonna crash.

Grayson to shuttle.

Gordon:
Malloy here.

There are life-forms
on this planet. Humanoid.

I see a village in the distance.

You're kidding.

It looks like
bronze age-level development,

but it's hard to tell.

I'm gonna try
to get a closer look.

Commander, I remind you
to use caution.

Any contact with a culture

-that primitive...
-Yeah, I know.

Cultural contamination.
I don't need you

to remind me of the rules.

I am merely attempting
to be helpful, commander.

There is no need to be...

What does captain Mercer
call it? Pissy.

I won't let them see me.

Grayson out.

Oh, my god.

Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Are you okay?

Hey. Hey. Can you hear me?
Are you okay?

Wait! Please, wait.

I'm not gonna hurt you,
i promise.

My name is Kelly.

Kelly.

I want to help.

That's a pretty nasty cut
you have there.

Will you let me fix it?

I can use this
to make it better.

That's right.
It's okay.

Come on.

See? It's nothing scary.

Watch.

It's okay.

See?

All better.

Oh, crap.

Feel better, honey.
Time for me to go.

Kel-ly...

well, we've got one hell of
a mystery on our hands here.

How do you want us
to handle this?

You'll remain in orbit
another 72 hours

to continue scanning.

If we're still in the dark
after that,

we'll send a science vessel
to relieve you.

All right.
Thanks, admiral.

Ozawa out.

Why didn't you tell her?

You helped out a kid,
that's all.

And cultural contamination

of a society that undeveloped
is a serious charge.

I just don't want to have
to come visit you in prison.

Really? You wouldn't want
to visit a women's prison?

You're right,
I'll call her back.

Ed. You didn't have to do that.

What I did was stupid
and careless.

And you shouldn't have
to cover for me.

Look,

union policy would've had you
leave that kid to die.

Just to avoid cultural
contamination.

I think you did the right thing.

And you got out of there
as quick as you could.

I just forgot to include it
in my report.

Well, I owe you one.

We still owe each other a date.

Okay, it's officially been
12 hours.

Isaac, you have
to have something.

Negative, captain. There is
still nothing in the scans

to offer insight
into the planet's origin.

We should get, like, a monopoly
game going or something.

Is this too many people?

I will fetch the latchkum.

No! No, no.
We-we'll-we'll just sit here.

Captain!

The planet just disappeared.

What the hell is going on here?

Sir, I may have a theory.

I believe
what we have encountered

is a planet locked in
a multiphasic orbit.

Okay, let's pretend
i don't know what that is.

-Do you know what that is?
-I do not.

-So we could just say that.
-Thanks, buddy.

Isaac, what is it?

A multiphasic orbit

has only been hypothetical
up until this point.

A planet orbits a star,
but its orbit is divided

between two universes,
ours and another.

-Well, that's trippy.
-What about the star?

The star itself,
or one closely comparable,

would need to exist in both
universes for the planet

to retain a stable environment.

Since there are humanoid
life-forms there,

we can assume that is the case.

Well, so what now? I mean,
how do we follow the trail?

We could wait for the planet

-to re-enter our universe.
-How long will that take?

The planet is circling in
a tight orbit around the star.

Based on the mass of the star
and the geometry of the orbit,

about 11 days.

Well, then...
Looks like we wait.

Just sit in orbit for 11 days?

What are we supposed to do?

Mmm. Oh, my god.

I forgot what a terrible cook
you are.

- It's awful, isn't it?
- Yeah.

It's terrible. See, you know,
i was afraid of that

and I didn't want to use
synthesized food tonight,

so I made a backup.

Peanut butter and jelly is
impossible to screw up.

-What are we, 12?
-Yes, we're 12.

And afterward,
I'm gonna pull your hair

and call you fat and that's how
you'll know I like you.

I think on bortus'
planet that's foreplay.

I think you're right.

Oh, my god.

This is so much better.

You know, this is surreal.

I was just thinking that.

You know,
these jobs we've chosen,

they condition you to...

Be okay being by yourself.

And after a while,

you start to think that...

Giving yourself over
to someone else

is some kind of weakness.

Even though it's exactly
what you need.

You want to keep
your independence,

but you're frightened
of loneliness.

Yeah.

This is just jelly.

Yeah. This is peanut butter.

Okay, see,

I figured you might not want
to kiss me,

and I know how much you like
peanut butter and jelly,

and I thought maybe if you were
hungry enough...

Plus, I'm a terrible cook,
and so I didn't want

to mix 'em together because I'd
probably screw up the portions,

and I don't have a
measuring cup, so it's a...

You're a much better cook
than I am.

how much time, Isaac?

Isaac:
Any moment now, captain.

Getting anomalous readings.

Here it comes.

Incredible.

Isaac:
Captain,

-this is most unusual.
-What is it?

My scans of the planet's surface

-are showing radical
alterations. -In what way?

It is my understanding that you
described the civilization

on the planet as comparable
in development

-to earth's bronze age.
-I did.

Scans are now showing much more
extensive architecture,

and a profound increase
in the number of life-forms

on the surface.

But that is impossible.

How could that happen
in 11 days?

dr*gs?

Gordon. John. Prep a shuttle.

Alara, you're with us.

Engaging cloak.

This can't be.
That city,

none of it was there.

It's all changed.

-Mercer to Isaac.
-Isaac here, captain.

We've reached the coordinates
where Kelly saw the village.

But what we're seeing looks
like a... 14th-century city.

Isaac:
Indeed.

Captain, I believe I have made
a rather profound discovery

about this planet,

which your description appears
to support.

What do you mean?

Scans have revealed
a temporal inconsistency

indicating that when the planet

moves out of our universe
and into the other,

its time constant undergoes
an acceleration.

Can you translate that
for dumb guys

who might also be
a little drunk?

11 days have passed for us.

But for the planet,
approximately 700 years

-have elapsed.
-Wait.

You're telling me that
seven centuries have passed

since I was here before?

Isaac:
That is correct, commander.

All right, union central's gonna
want whatever we can give them,

so let's take a look around.
Isaac,

focus a tight scanning beam
on the city.

Got to know what these people
are wearing, if we're gonna

-synthesize the proper clothing.
-John: Captain.

There might be a faster way.

So we travel hundreds
of light-years from earth

-to steal somebody's laundry.
-Ed: We'll give it back later.

Just keep it quiet.

Oh, crap.

Hi.

We're the fashion police.

And these outfits
have got to go.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Please, wait.

Please.

Will you bless my son?

-What?
-Please. I beg of you.

I'm a simple farmer,
not worthy of your favor,

but please, I implore you.

Bless my child.

-Ma'am, I'm sorry, I don't
know what... -Please.

Oh, please, bless him.

Um...

I hope your kid grows up
and, uh...

Does a lot of good stuff.

And... um...

And doesn't get
any girls pregnant.

And doesn't get any girls
pregnant.

-Stay in school.
-Amen.

Oh, thank you.

I don't like this.
Come on, let's go.

Gordon: These clothes
are gonna give me dysentery,

I just know it.

John: Looks like we're about
three miles outside the city.

Kelly: Ed, you've been silent
for the last 20 minutes.

What are you thinking?

I'm not thinking anything.

Yes, you are.
What is it?

I just...

We need more information.

Captain, look.

My god.

Good day to you, travelers.

Excuse me.

We were wondering
if you could tell us

who these people are.

Who they were.

It's a shame.

Some people never see the light.

Did they commit some crime?

Indeed, the very worst.

They are deniers,

put on display
as a lesson to others

who would consider
forsaking the word.

What word?

Why, the word of Kelly.

There you are, dalen.
What did I say to you?

-I don't know.
-I said don't run off.

What happens
if you disobey your mother?

-Kelly will get me.
-That's right.

Kelly's watching you.
All the time.

She knows when you've been bad,

and she'll punish you.
Now, come on.

-Let go of that.
-Ed, this is a nightmare.

Bring out the accused.

These three
are accused of theft.

They will now be judged.

Ow! Aah!

Hey, hey,
whatever you're thinking, don't.

Oh, great and mighty Kelly,

we present to you
these three accused,

so that you may,
in your infinite wisdom,

reveal to us their innocence
or their guilt.

If they be honest and true,

we ask you to heal them now.

-No, kel-Kelly, no.
-Ed, I have to stop this.

-If I tell them to stop, they
will. -Think for a second, okay?

You're gonna go up there and
do what-- issue a commandment?

That is quite possibly the worst
thing you could do right now.

Captain, there's
a large central structure

just to the north of here.

Let's go.

Oh, yeah,
we're in a lot of trouble.

Why the hell
didn't you include this

in your initial report, ed?

Look, admiral, I apologize.

I just didn't think
it was of consequence.

One of your officers
has direct contact

with a primitive
alien civilization

and you don't think
that's of consequence?

-Well, I...
-A religion has developed

around your first officer.

Look, I know this
is really bad, all right?

But it wasn't Kelly's fault,
all right?

The shuttle never intended to go
down there in the first place.

I am aware
of the circumstances, captain.

It's the only reason you still
have bars on your shoulder.

But hear this loud and clear:
If you ever again

edit a report to protect
one of your officers,

you'll find yourself scrubbing
toilets at union point.

Do you understand me?

-Yes, sir.
-I'm putting

a letter of reprimand
in your permanent file.

What do you want us to do
about the planet?

A culture that progresses
700 years every 11 days

is bound to achieve space travel
in less than a month.

Let them come to you.

You're not to return
to the surface before then.

-That's an order. -But, admiral,
maybe we could convince them...

That's an order.

Understood.

-"That's an order."
-What?

Oh, my god, I'm sorry,
i thought you hung up. I'm s...

Oh, god,
I'm so sorry. Please,

admiral, have mercy, please.

Thank you.
Okay, bye.

Look... kel, I'm sorry,

but you can't blame yourself
for any of this.

I watched three people
m*rder*d in my name.

Five others already dead.

And a mother telling her child
that if he misbehaved,

"Kelly will get him."

You're damn right
i blame myself.

And now I'm forbidden
to even try and fix it.

I mean, how many more people
are gonna die

down there in the name of Kelly?

Thousands? Millions?

If there's anything at all
i can do...

No. Just...

I want to be alone.

Oh.

Come in.

Get dressed.
We're going back.

Isaac to captain Mercer.

-Go ahead, Isaac.
-You have 31 minutes

until the planet
phases out of our universe.

Acknowledged.
Mercer out.

Valondis.

Forgive me for interrupting
your refreshment.

This boy was caught eating fruit

from a tree on church lands.

-Is this true?
-Your grace,

I beg your forgiveness.

My family's poor,
and my mother is ill.

I would not have
taken the fruit,

but... we've not eaten in days.

Were there witnesses
to this act?

-Yes, your grace.
-Very well.

Take him to the square
and cut him.

If he speaks the truth,

-Kelly will heal his wound.
-No!

Your grace, please.
Be merciful.

Kelly is merciful, my young one.

No! Please.

Stop.

Who are you? The valondis
does not see peasants.

Remove them at once.

We are not peasants.

Oh, merciful Kelly.

It's... it's you.

Yeah.

Valondis, is it?

Get up.

I am not worthy.

You're worth more
than you think.

Now get up.

I have waited my entire life

for the blessing
of your arrival,

and now you are here
in all your magnificence.

Look, there's been
a little misunderstanding.

I'm not who you think I am.

Valondis:
But you are.

Healer of men.

Divine hand of the heavens.

God of all creation.

Man, this guy'd be
the perfect boyfriend.

Listen to me.
I'm not any of those things.

I'm a living, mortal being,

-exactly like you.
-That's right,

and she's god, so you know

she's telling the truth.

Yeah, that-that's not helping.

But our sacred scrolls
tell clearly

of the first time
you descended from above.

What exactly
do your scrolls say?

They tell of a young girl
who was injured.

You came down
from your mountaintop domain

and healed her with your touch.

Okay, first of all, I would
never live on a mountaintop.

I'm not an outdoorsy person.
Second of all,

I didn't heal that girl
with my touch.

I used a tool.

Like you would use a garden hoe
or a-a hammer.

It's just a little more
advanced, that's all.

Okay, pay attention.

I'm gonna show you
exactly how I did it.

But you bleed.

Now watch.

Oh, blessed be the heavens.

We have witnessed the miracle.

No, it's not a miracle.

It's just a machine.

Like a plow you might use
in one of your fields.

Here, you try it.

Here. Push that button
right there

and run this over your hand.

But I did this?

Exactly.
You did that, not me.

Because it's the machine
that heals.

But the great healing

was 700 years ago.

Surely, you are immortal.

No.
Time just moves differently

for my people
than it does for you.

For every 700 years that pass
for you, only 11 days

-pass for us.
-Isaac to captain Mercer.

-Go ahead.
-The planet

will begin its dimensional shift
in approximately nine minutes.

Acknowledged.

Kelly. We got to go.

Valondis, I'm a traveler
from a faraway place

who has impacted your world
in a way that my people

try to avoid at all costs.

But I am not a god.

Do you believe me?

I have seen you bleed.

A god does not bleed.

Exactly. We are living mortals,
just like you.

Kelly, we really have to go,
or we're gonna be trapped here.

Please, spread the word
far and wide to your people.

Kelly does not deserve
their worship.

Will you do that?

For me?

I wish you good journeys,

Kelly the traveler.

Valondis?

May I ask what you plan to do?

I do not know.

But this cannot be kept
from the people.

They must know
what has happened.

Surely that would be a mistake.

-How so? -The belief in Kelly
is not merely a source

of comfort for the people.

They fear her, as well.

And as the guardians of
the word of Kelly, they fear us.

Should that fear come into
doubt, our ability to govern

may be compromised.

But the truth must never
be compromised.

The people must decide
for themselves.

As you wish.

Captain,
scans indicate the planet

is about to reemerge
into our universe.

I am detecting artificial
satellites in orbit.

There are indications
of computer technology,

industrial pollution and
wide-range broadcast signals.

Scan broadcast signals
for any mention of Kelly.

Scanning.

749,682 results.

No.

Let's see what you've got.

And the word of Kelly was spoken
unto them,

and they did marvel
at her glory!

And she said to them,
"you shall be healed."

A depiction of the first healing
in a publicly-funded

educational facility
is inappropriate.

Pundit: How is a depiction
of our collective

-theological heritage
inappropriate? -Some people

don't believe Kelly has a place
in secular education.

Fine. Then they can enroll their
child in a different facility.

Reporter: The bloodshed
continues in outer jakora

today as dissidents launched
an att*ck on the temple of Kelly

in the city of uravah.

More than 36 people were k*lled

-Isaac, turn it off.
-When a series of detonations

rocked the ancient city.

What went wrong?

I thought you convinced them.

It's time.

There just wasn't enough time.
If I had a week or

a month down there, I might be
able to see it through, but...

What if we left something there?

A message of some kind
that could remain

after we lose the planet?

Or someone.

What? What are you saying?

I'm saying...
What if I stayed behind?

To help guide them out of
the mess that I got them into.

-Kelly, you'll die there.
-I know.

-No. That's not an option. -Ed,
people are still getting k*lled.

That's not an option.

Look, you want
to spend your retirement years

on an alien planet
with no way to get back?

And keep in mind, this is now
a society in the computer age.

All right, what if... what if

they don't believe
you're really their god?

What if they lock you up
in an asylum?

Captain, I could go.

-You?
-Yes, sir.

My artificial construct
is capable

of enduring
for millions of years.

And I do not process
the passage of time

-in the way you do.
-John: Isaac,

you'd be there
for seven centuries.

I am aware of this,
chief lamarr.

Well, how would you do it?
Just walk in and say,

"hi. I'm from another planet.
I'm here to fix you"?

I would not put it so artlessly,
but... yes.

Isaac, it's 700 years.

700 seconds to me, captain.

Gordon:
Shuttle to Orville.

Go ahead, Gordon.

Isaac is on the surface.
I'm on my way back.

Acknowledged.

Isaac, can you hear me?

Yes, captain.

I have arrived safely.

Isaac...

I'll never be able to repay you
for what you're doing.

Isaac: Recompense is
unnecessary, commander.

Captain, I believe the planet
is beginning to phase.

We will not be able
to communicate much longer...

We'll see you soon.

Ed:
Mercer to Grayson.

Yes, captain?

I thought you'd want to know
the planet is about to reemerge.

I'm on my way.

Bortus:
Captain,

scans are detecting the planet.

You okay?

Yes.

No.

It is reemerging.

Alara:
My god.

Look at it.

Captain, there is a vessel
approaching.

Alara: Sir, the alien ship
is hailing us.

They're asking permission
to come aboard.

Granted.

Greetings, captain Mercer.

Commander Grayson.

We thought it was about time
we returned your artificial

life-form to you.

Isaac, how did you do it?

It was quite fascinating
to be able

to study the evolution
of a society from

the computer era to the age
of quantum drive in real time.

But I did not have to...
Do anything.

I don't understand.

Fadolin:
Commander,

Isaac has been a part
of our world for centuries.

When he arrived 700 years ago,
it shook the planet,

but we quickly became used
to his presence, and our world

advanced just
as it would have without him.

But... you no longer
believe in Kelly.

Only in the sense that she's
a human aboard a union starship.

I am so very, very sorry for all
of the trouble that I've caused.

Don't be. We've been waiting
for the phasing

to occur again
so we could meet you.

Our society has become
a spacefaring culture

with ships spread out
across the galaxy.

In our home universe, that is.

But we wouldn't have gotten

where we are
without growing pains.

Our planet worshipped you
as a deity for many centuries.

But had it not been you,

the mythology would have found
another face.

It's a part
of every culture's evolution.

It's one of the stages
of learning.

And eventually,
it brought us here.

So you see, commander,

you didn't poison our culture
with false faith.

We flourish.

You must have faith...
In reason,

in discovery and in the
endurance of the logical mind.

It won't be long before
you advance millennia past us.

Perhaps then, we will study you.

We'd be honored.

hey.

Hi.

You don't exactly look
ready to relax.

No. I'm not.

Do you still want to get drunk?

Ed...

This isn't gonna work.

You mean us.

None of this should have
happened.

You defied an admiral's orders
to protect me,

and it sent our science officer
into a 700-year exile.

You and I, together...

It jeopardizes your command.

It jeopardizes the smooth
operation of this ship,

and it jeopardizes
our friendship.

It can't happen.

When I'm really honest
with myself,

I know that you're right.

But that doesn't change
the way I feel.

I know.

But for now,

those are feelings
we need to forget.

Dismissed, captain?

Dismissed, commander.

Captioned by
media access group at wgbh

with the Orville.

Now here are a few more shows

Yeah,
I'm picking it up too.

-My god.
-Kids, roll the windows up.

TV's newest fan favorite.

-Whoo!
