Better...than...
:34:04
sex.
:34:05
Bullshit.
:34:07
Better than sex with myself.
:34:08
[Both laugh]
:34:12
You just see that
it never happens again.

[Opera music playing]

[Door opens]
:34:19
BLAIR: Sir? Can I talk to you?
:34:23
TAGGART: Yeah.
:34:29
Go ahead.
:34:32
BLAIR: My whole life...
:34:33
I've taken crap
because I'm part Pilgrim.

:34:37
And I don't know why.
:34:40
Sit down.
:34:45
You're one of the last
descendants of a dying race.

:34:48
Pilgrims were the first human
space explorers and settlers.

:34:55
For five centuries...
:34:57
they defied the odds.
:34:59
They embraced space...
:35:01
and for that,
they were rewarded...

:35:03
with the gift of a flawless
sense of direction.

:35:06
They could feel
magnetic fields...

:35:09
created by
quasars and black holes...

:35:11
created by
quasars and black holes...

:35:12
negotiate singularities...
:35:15
navigate not just the stars,
but space-time itself.

:35:19
Like a Navcom A.I.?
:35:21
TAGGART: No, no.
You've got it backwards.

:35:24
The billions of calculations
each second...

:35:26
necessary to lead us through
a black hole or a quasar...

:35:29
is the Navcom recreation
of the mind of a single Pilgrim.

:35:34
Then why'd the war start?
:35:36
[Sighs]
:35:38
You spend so much time
out here alone...

:35:40
you end up losing your humanity.
:35:45
When Pilgrims began to lose
touch with their heritage...

:35:49
they saw themselves
as superior to men.

:35:52
And in their arrogance...
:35:56
they chose to abandon
all things human...
