(gentle music)
-: I've been expecting you.
I'm glad to see you still in this house.
You seemed happy here.
And this,
I, I can't tell you how good it makes me feel.
You got back to writing.
(Jake groaning)
Jake, what is it?
-: Read the dedication.
-: To my father, who's coming home.
Thank you, but I, I don't understand.
-: It was me.
It was me all along.
I've been dragging you through time, like an anchor.
Now it's time to cut you loose.
-: Jake, what are you saying?
-: It won't be long now.
-: Jake, no!
-: When I die, you'll go back to where this all began.
Just remember to dodge the energy discharge
from the warp core.
-: Jake, you could still have so many years left.
-: No, we have to be together when I die.
-: Jake, you didn't have to do this.
Not for me.
-: For you and for the boy that I was.
He needs you, more than you know.
Don't you see,
we're going to get a chance.
(gentle music)
-: Jake.
My sweet boy.
(computer beeping)
(energy crackling) (Ben grunting)
You okay?
-: How'd you know how that was coming?
-: I guess we were just lucky this time.
