That means you are trapped here. 14 00:00:51,322 --> 00:00:53,074 No excuses for your not dining with me. 15 00:00:54,075 --> 00:00:55,118 We'd be delighted. 16 00:00:55,285 --> 00:00:58,997 You indicated one additional inmate since our last visit, 17 00:00:59,163 --> 00:01:01,416 making a total of 15. Is that correct? 18 00:01:01,583 --> 00:01:06,212 It is. The rehabilitation program isn't progressing too well. 19 00:01:06,379 --> 00:01:10,174 I have my doubts about the effectiveness of this medicine. 20 00:01:10,341 --> 00:01:14,262 - Are you becoming a pessimist? - I'm afraid I have. 21 00:01:14,429 --> 00:01:20,059 A total of 15 incurably insane out of billions is not an excessive figure. 22 00:01:20,226 --> 00:01:22,979 - Who is the new inmate? - Garth. 23 00:01:26,316 --> 00:01:30,612 Garth of Izar, a former starship fleet captain. 24 00:01:30,778 --> 00:01:35,617 When I was a cadet at the Academy, his exploits were required reading. 25 00:01:35,783 --> 00:01:38,578 He was one of my heroes. I'd like to see him. 26 00:01:38,745 --> 00:01:40,830 Of course. 27 00:02:00,141 --> 00:02:03,394 Captain, you're making a mistake. 28 00:02:03,561 --> 00:02:09,275 - Captain Kirk is pressed for time. - There's nothing the matter with me. 29 00:02:09,442 --> 00:02:13,029 Can't you see by looking at me? Can't you tell by listening? 30 00:02:13,196 --> 00:02:15,281 She sounds rational enough, Captain. 31 00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:17,200 I am rational. 32 00:02:17,367 --> 00:02:20,119 Well, what is it you want to tell me? 33 00:02:21,162 --> 00:02:23,247 I can't tell you in front of him. 34 00:02:23,414 --> 00:02:26,751 You're afraid to talk in front of Governor Cory? 35 00:02:26,918 --> 00:02:30,713 He isn't really Governor Cory at all. That's just it. 36 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,010 She's been saying that for days. Our medical staff can't figure out why. 37 00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:52,694 Here's Garth. He's been unusually disturbed. 38 00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:56,155 We've had to impose additional restraint. 39 00:02:57,073 --> 00:03:02,120 - Cory? - Yes, Jim. I'm Cory. 40 00:03:05,081 --> 00:03:08,084 It's true. He tricked you. 41 00:03:18,052 --> 00:03:22,306 You said you wanted to see me, Captain. Well, here I am. 42 00:03:37,196 --> 00:03:40,742 Space, the final frontier. 43 00:03:46,539 --> 00:03:50,501 These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. 44 00:03:50,668 --> 00:03:54,839 Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds, 45 00:03:55,006 --> 00:03:58,718 to seek out new life and new civilizations, 46 00:03:58,885 --> 00:04:02,221 to boldly go where no man has gone before. 47 00:04:47,099 --> 00:04:49,894 Your Vulcan friend is still alive, Captain. 48 00:04:50,061 --> 00:04:54,690 My phaser was set to stun, not to kill. He'll be quite comfortable. 49 00:04:54,857 --> 00:04:59,403 Almost as comfortable as you and our esteemed governor. 50 00:05:00,446 --> 00:05:04,575 - Garth, does he have to suffer? - Address me by my proper title. 51 00:05:04,742 --> 00:05:07,328 Sorry. I should have said Captain Garth. 52 00:05:07,495 --> 00:05:11,082 I am Lord Garth, formerly of Izar. 53 00:05:11,249 --> 00:05:14,043 And I lead the future masters of the universe. 54 00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:17,171 I'm sorry, Lord Garth. 55 00:05:17,338 --> 00:05:20,216 You Earth people are a stiff-necked lot. 56 00:05:25,012 --> 00:05:26,222 Release him. 57 00:05:26,389 --> 00:05:31,394 I'm afraid that subjugating you won't be enough. You must be confined. 58 00:05:31,561 --> 00:05:35,481 And all the people of the galaxy who will not bow to my will 59 00:05:35,648 --> 00:05:38,526 must be confined or destroyed. 60 00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:41,737 Captain Garth, listen to me. 61 00:05:41,904 --> 00:05:45,908 Oh! Our beloved governor has decided to address us 62 00:05:46,075 --> 00:05:48,786 and we have not given him permission to speak. 63 00:05:48,953 --> 00:05:53,249 Are you so afraid of him that you must keep him pinned? 64 00:05:58,671 --> 00:06:02,633 I'm afraid of no one. You're all powerless against me. 65 00:06:04,427 --> 00:06:09,056 Thank you. Now, what have you done with the medicine? 66 00:06:09,223 --> 00:06:12,184 The medicine? You mean the poison. I destroyed it. 67 00:06:12,351 --> 00:06:14,604 - It was your only hope. - Silence! 68 00:06:14,770 --> 00:06:18,024 The chatter of inferior weaklings wearies me 69 00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:21,193 and it's time I took command of the Enterprise. 70 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,614 - You'll help me, of course. - Of course. 71 00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:29,035 My crew mutinied. The first use I will make of the Enterprise 72 00:06:29,201 --> 00:06:32,413 is to hunt them down and punish them for that. 73 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:35,583 The crew of the Enterprise will also mutiny. 74 00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:37,335 But they won't. 75 00:06:37,501 --> 00:06:41,797 You see, Captain, there's a helpful technique I've mastered. 76 00:06:49,347 --> 00:06:52,016 Goodbye, darling. I'll miss you. 77 00:07:01,943 --> 00:07:05,655 Governor Cory, how do you feel? 78 00:07:05,821 --> 00:07:09,075 All right. There is no help for any of us, 79 00:07:09,241 --> 00:07:12,787 if that madman is in command of the Enterprise. 80 00:07:12,954 --> 00:07:17,208 He boasts that he's created the most powerful explosive in the universe 81 00:07:17,375 --> 00:07:19,001 and I believe him. 82 00:07:19,168 --> 00:07:21,587 How does he change form at will? 83 00:07:21,754 --> 00:07:26,384 The people of Antos taught him the technique of cellular metamorphosis 84 00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:29,387 to restore the destroyed parts of his body. 85 00:07:29,553 --> 00:07:34,934 By himself, he later learned to use the technique to recreate himself 86 00:07:35,101 --> 00:07:37,144 into any form he wished. 87 00:07:37,311 --> 00:07:40,606 The first time we knew about it was when a guard, 88 00:07:40,773 --> 00:07:45,069 seeing what he thought was me in Garth's cell, released him. 89 00:07:49,281 --> 00:07:52,410 He was such a genius. What a waste. 90 00:07:53,494 --> 00:07:58,791 Force field's on. Good. Remain here out of sight until I give you the order. 91 00:08:03,337 --> 00:08:06,007 - Kirk to Enterprise. - Scott here. 92 00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:10,928 - Beam me aboard. - Aye, sir.

Why didn't he give me the countersign? 101 00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:24,001 Something's wrong. 102 00:09:24,168 --> 00:09:27,129 The chess problem was his suggestion. 103 00:09:27,296 --> 00:09:30,049 He couldn't have forgotten it. 104 00:09:30,216 --> 00:09:33,302 Lieutenant, re-establish communication. 105 00:09:36,138 --> 00:09:38,849 There's no response, Mr. Scott. 106 00:09:39,016 --> 00:09:42,144 Send an armed detail to the transporter room. 107 00:09:42,311 --> 00:09:44,396 Aye-aye, sir. 108 00:09:49,735 --> 00:09:53,113 Mr. Sulu, what do your sensors show? 109 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,700 We can't beam anybody down. A force field is in operation 110 00:09:56,867 --> 00:10:00,371 and all forms of transport into the asylum are blocked off. 111 00:10:00,538 --> 00:10:02,957 We could blast our way through it, 112 00:10:03,123 --> 00:10:07,753 but at the risk of destroying the captain and any other living thing. 113 00:10:09,338 --> 00:10:11,632 How can we be powerful enough to wipe out a planet 114 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:14,385 and still be so helpless? 115 00:10:23,602 --> 00:10:27,606 We are going to take the Enterprise. 116 00:10:27,773 --> 00:10:30,025 Do you hear me? 117 00:10:30,192 --> 00:10:32,820 We are going to take her 118 00:10:32,987 --> 00:10:37,741 if I have to shatter every bone in Captain Kirk's body. 119 00:10:43,914 --> 00:10:45,916 Captain? 120 00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:48,377 Captain Kirk? 121 00:10:50,796 --> 00:10:52,965 I hope it hasn't been uncomfortable. 122 00:10:53,132 --> 00:10:56,260 I thank you for your concern.

Still, I'm afraid I've been quite remiss in my duties as your host. 124 00:11:01,223 --> 00:11:04,685 - But I did invite you to dinner. - I'd forgotten. 125 00:11:04,852 --> 00:11:08,856 But I haven't. You and Mr. Spock are to be my guests. 126 00:11:09,023 --> 00:11:12,776 - Where is Mr. Spock? - Right here.

Why? 190 00:17:22,437 --> 00:17:26,149 I could say because they were hostile to the Federation. 191 00:17:26,316 --> 00:17:29,569 You could say, but that would be untrue. 192 00:17:29,736 --> 00:17:31,571 Agreed. 193 00:17:31,738 --> 00:17:33,365 They were harmless 194 00:17:33,532 --> 00:17:36,952 and they made me whole when I was maimed and dying. 195 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,122 And in my gratitude, I offered them a galaxy. 196 00:17:40,289 --> 00:17:43,125 They rejected me. I condemned them to death. 197 00:17:43,292 --> 00:17:47,921 How could you, a starship fleet captain, believe that a Federation crew 198 00:17:48,088 --> 00:17:51,758 would blindly obey your order to destroy the Antos race, 199 00:17:51,925 --> 00:17:55,637 a people famous for benevolence and peaceful pursuits? 200 00:17:55,804 --> 00:17:58,515 That was my only miscalculation. 201 00:17:58,682 --> 00:18:03,645 I had changed. I had risen above this decadent weakness, 202 00:18:03,812 --> 00:18:08,817 which still has you in its command, by the way, Captain. My crew had not. 203 00:18:08,984 --> 00:18:12,529 I couldn't sway them, but my new crew, the men in this room, 204 00:18:12,696 --> 00:18:15,741 will obey my orders without question. 205 00:18:17,117 --> 00:18:21,371 Gentlemen, you have eyes, but you cannot see. 206 00:18:21,538 --> 00:18:23,582 Galaxies surrounds us, 207 00:18:23,749 --> 00:18:26,376 limitless vistas. 208 00:18:26,543 --> 00:18:30,297 And yet the Federation will have us grub away like some ants 209 00:18:30,464 --> 00:18:34,176 on some somewhat larger than usual anthill. 210 00:18:34,343 --> 00:18:36,595 But I am not an insect. 211 00:18:36,762 --> 00:18:41,016 I am master of the universe and I must claim my domain. 212 00:18:41,183 --> 00:18:46,188 I agree that war was once necessary and you were our greatest warrior. 213 00:18:46,355 --> 00:18:51,735 I studied your victory at Axanar. It's still required reading at the Academy. 214 00:18:51,902 --> 00:18:54,321 - As well it should be. - Very well. 215 00:18:54,488 --> 00:18:59,076 But my first visit to Axanar was as a cadet on a peace mission. 216 00:18:59,242 --> 00:19:01,953 Peace mission! Politicians and weaklings! 217 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,832 They were humanitarians and statesmen and they had a dream 218 00:19:05,999 --> 00:19:08,877 that spread throughout the stars. 219 00:19:09,044 --> 00:19:12,130 A dream that made Mr. Spock and me brothers. 220 00:19:14,341 --> 00:19:19,346 Mr. Spock, do you consider Captain Kirk and yourself brothers? 221 00:19:19,513 --> 00:19:23,767 Captain Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion. 222 00:19:23,934 --> 00:19:30,107 However, what he says is logical and I do, in fact, agree with it. 223 00:19:31,441 --> 00:19:35,445 Blind! Truly blind! 224 00:19:35,612 --> 00:19:38,573 Captain Kirk is your commanding officer 225 00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:41,785 and you are his subordinate. That is all. 226 00:19:41,952 --> 00:19:45,872 Yet, Mr. Spock, you are a worthy commander in your own right 227 00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:50,001 and in my fleet, you will surely have a starship to command. 228 00:19:50,168 --> 00:19:54,423 Please forgive me, but exactly where is your fleet? 229 00:19:55,424 --> 00:19:59,136 Out there, waiting for me. 230 00:19:59,302 --> 00:20:03,056 They will flock to my cause and for good reason. 231 00:20:04,724 --> 00:20:10,730 Limitless power, limitless wealth and solar systems ruled by the elite. 232 00:20:10,897 --> 00:20:14,359 We are that elite and we must take what is rightfully ours 233 00:20:14,526 --> 00:20:17,821 from the decadent weaklings that now hold it. 234 00:20:17,988 --> 00:20:21,575 - Captain Garth... - Lord Garth! 235 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,872 As you wish. At any rate, you must be aware of the fact 236 00:20:27,038 --> 00:20:30,750 that you are attempting to recreate the disaster 237 00:20:30,917 --> 00:20:34,838 which resulted in your becoming an inmate in this place. 238 00:20:35,005 --> 00:20:37,257 I was betrayed and treated badly. 239 00:20:37,424 --> 00:20:40,135 You were treated with justice and compassion, 240 00:20:40,302 --> 00:20:43,722 which you failed to show towards your intended victims. 241 00:20:43,889 --> 00:20:46,516 - Logically, one must assume... - Remove this animal! 242 00:20:55,108 --> 00:21:00,864 Try this wine, Captain. It has a robust flavor, which you'll find diverting. 243 00:21:01,031 --> 00:21:06,036 - No, thanks. I prefer to join Mr. Spock. - I prefer that you remain here. 244 00:21:06,203 --> 00:21:08,038 Marta, my dear. 245 00:21:12,417 --> 00:21:17,839 We found your little divertissement enchanting. But there's more to come. 246 00:21:18,006 --> 00:21:22,052 The entertainment has merely begun. I assume you play chess. 247 00:21:22,219 --> 00:21:24,054 - Occasionally. - So do I. 248 00:21:24,221 --> 00:21:26,473 Respond to queen to queen's level 3. 249 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,435 I'm sure you are aware there are infinite countermoves. 250 00:21:30,602 --> 00:21:34,814 - I'm interested in only one. - For the life of me, which one? 251 00:21:34,981 --> 00:21:38,443 "For the life of me" is well chosen. It could come to that. 252 00:21:38,610 --> 00:21:40,862 Dead, I am of no use to you. 253 00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:45,116 But I could make you long for death, beg for death. 254 00:21:45,283 --> 00:21:49,371 "In the midnight of November, when the dead man's fair is nigh, 255 00:21:49,538 --> 00:21:53,250 "And the danger in the valley and the anger in the sky." 256 00:21:53,416 --> 00:21:58,547 - I wrote it this morning. Do you like it? - Yes, I think it's very good. 257 00:22:02,175 --> 00:22:06,805 Tell him what he wants to know and we'll go away together. 258 00:22:06,972 --> 00:22:09,683 I can't. 259 00:22:09,849 --> 00:22:12,561 But you must. I beg of you. 260 00:22:12,727 --> 00:22:15,480 Don't beg, Marta. It's degrading. 261 00:22:17,732 --> 00:22:20,569 Queen to queen's level 3, Captain? 262 00:22:20,735 --> 00:22:24,781 You'll talk freely and quite soon. 263 00:22:36,751 --> 00:22:41,006 What you see before you, Captain, is my latest invention. 264 00:22:41,172 --> 00:22:45,218 Ordinary in appearance, almost primitive, wouldn't you say? 265 00:22:45,385 --> 00:22:49,764 Yes, I recognize it. It's used for rehabilitation purposes. 266 00:22:49,931 --> 00:22:52,642 It helped many men back to health. 267 00:22:52,809 --> 00:22:55,437 Appearances can be deceiving. 268 00:22:55,604 --> 00:23:00,442 Once it was a part of the rehabilitation process and as such quite painless 269 00:23:00,609 --> 00:23:02,402 and, I might add, useless, too. 270 00:23:02,944 --> 00:23:05,947 It made men docile and of no use to me. 271 00:23:06,906 --> 00:23:11,911 I've added certain refinements to the use of ultrasonic waves. 272 00:23:12,078 --> 00:23:14,789 The chair is no longer painless. 273 00:23:14,956 --> 00:23:17,751 Put the governor in it. 274 00:23:28,928 --> 00:23:32,223 Queen to queen's level 3, Captain Kirk? 275 00:23:34,851 --> 00:23:41,316 It is, in fact, exquisitely painful, as you will now see. 276 00:23:46,154 --> 00:23:50,617 Interesting. The pain is real and can be prolonged indefinitely, 277 00:23:50,784 --> 00:23:53,495 because there is no destruction of tissue. 278 00:23:53,662 --> 00:23:56,039 Stop it! 279 00:23:58,249 --> 00:24:01,544 Of course, Captain, you have but to ask. 280 00:24:03,672 --> 00:24:06,925 As you can see, he has not been harmed physically. 281 00:24:07,092 --> 00:24:10,970 Yet the memory of the exquisite torment remains. 282 00:24:11,137 --> 00:24:14,391 Queen to queen's level 3, Captain? 283 00:24:14,557 --> 00:24:17,560 - No. - Too bad. 284 00:24:17,727 --> 00:24:22,774 Remove our distinguished governor.

I can get him to tell me what you want to know. 293 00:25:44,481 --> 00:25:47,442 It might be interesting to have you try. 294 00:26:02,332 --> 00:26:07,003 - No breakthrough? - No. Still no response from the planet. 295 00:26:08,171 --> 00:26:10,215 Sensor readings? 296 00:26:10,381 --> 00:26:13,885 The force field is weakest on the far side of the planet. 297 00:26:14,052 --> 00:26:19,057 We can send down a shuttlecraft carrying a team in environmental suits. 298 00:26:19,224 --> 00:26:22,101 They'd have to cover thousands of miles 299 00:26:22,268 --> 00:26:25,230 through a poisonous atmosphere. 300 00:26:25,396 --> 00:26:27,524 You're right. Even if they made it, 301 00:26:27,690 --> 00:26:31,402 they couldn't carry anything to break through the dome. 302 00:26:31,569 --> 00:26:34,197 Only the ship herself could do that. 303 00:26:34,364 --> 00:26:36,407 Probably kill Jim and Spock. 304 00:26:36,574 --> 00:26:39,327 Doctor, they may already be dead. 305 00:26:53,341 --> 00:26:56,094 Slowly, darling.

You doubt me because I have not had my coronation. 381 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,853 - No, sir, listen to me. - Stop! 382 00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:05,064 - On your knees. - No. 383 00:34:05,231 --> 00:34:07,858 On your knees before me! 384 00:34:08,025 --> 00:34:10,486 All the others before me have failed. 385 00:34:10,653 --> 00:34:17,243 Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Lee Kuan, Krotus! 386 00:34:17,410 --> 00:34:20,413 All of them are dust! 387 00:34:20,579 --> 00:34:26,627 But I will triumph. I will make the ultimate conquest! 388 00:34:48,899 --> 00:34:53,904 The throne must be higher. It must be higher than anything else in this room. 389 00:34:54,071 --> 00:34:56,323 And use that table as a pedestal. 390 00:34:56,490 --> 00:35:01,871 Welcome back, Captain Kirk. I'm glad you could make it for the coronation. 391 00:35:02,038 --> 00:35:04,081 - Coronation? - Yes. 392 00:35:04,248 --> 00:35:07,501 I know a real throne is no more than merely a chair, 393 00:35:07,668 --> 00:35:10,463 but symbolism is important, don't you agree? 394 00:35:10,629 --> 00:35:14,216 Yes, I agree. You'll wear a crown, too, I presume. 395 00:35:14,383 --> 00:35:15,634 Just a token, 396 00:35:15,801 --> 00:35:20,347 but it serves as a standard around which our followers will rally. 397 00:35:20,514 --> 00:35:23,684 Garth, you have only a handful of men. 398 00:35:23,851 --> 00:35:28,147 You do refuse to enter into the spirit of the thing, don't you, Captain? 399 00:35:28,314 --> 00:35:31,108 Perhaps you want a larger role in the ceremony. 400 00:35:31,275 --> 00:35:33,819 You could serve as a human sacrifice. 401 00:35:33,986 --> 00:35:38,115 I wouldn't enjoy that at all. Besides, you seem to need me alive. 402 00:35:38,282 --> 00:35:43,913 True. All right, how about crown prince? 403 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,998 That would make you our heir apparent. 404 00:35:46,165 --> 00:35:49,085 I believe it's the proper role for you. 405 00:35:49,251 --> 00:35:53,255 Besides we have other candidates for our human sacrifice. 406 00:35:53,422 --> 00:35:56,175 Who knows? Really... 407 00:36:21,951 --> 00:36:25,955 Since there is no one mighty enough to perform this ceremony, 408 00:36:26,122 --> 00:36:28,541 we'll perform it ourselves. 409 00:36:28,707 --> 00:36:33,254 Therefore, we hereby proclaim that I am Lord Garth, 410 00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,840 master of the universe. 411 00:36:37,758 --> 00:36:43,055 And we designate our beloved Marta to be our consort. 412 00:36:48,144 --> 00:36:54,942 We further designate Captain Kirk of the Enterprise to be our heir apparent. 413 00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:25,764 Now remove our heir apparent that we may conclude this ceremony. 414 00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:50,164 Listen to me. This may be our last chance. 415 00:37:52,499 --> 00:37:55,961 Garth will destroy all of us unless you help me stop him 416 00:37:56,128 --> 00:38:00,049 and he's using you because he wants the power for himself. 417 00:38:00,216 --> 00:38:03,385 I brought something to cure you, but he destroyed it. 418 00:38:03,552 --> 00:38:07,306 I can get a patrol down. They'd bring more medicine. 419 00:38:13,562 --> 00:38:15,648 Well done. 420 00:38:16,857 --> 00:38:22,112 Well, Captain, you continue to resist. How stupid of you. 421 00:38:22,279 --> 00:38:24,698 Put him in that chair right here. 422 00:38:24,865 --> 00:38:29,912 I've arranged a small entertainment. I wouldn't want him to miss any of it. 423 00:38:36,001 --> 00:38:38,921 Captain, even you must admit that I'm a genius. 424 00:38:39,088 --> 00:38:41,882 What you see here is my latest invention. 425 00:38:42,049 --> 00:38:47,054 This is an explosive. The most powerful one in history. 426 00:38:47,221 --> 00:38:53,018 If I were to drop this flask, the resulting explosion would vaporize this planet. 427 00:38:54,895 --> 00:38:59,692 Now, do you see why it is ridiculous for you to resist me, Captain? 428 00:38:59,858 --> 00:39:04,738 Well, perhaps you require the demonstration I've arranged. 429 00:39:07,658 --> 00:39:13,664 Watch closely. It is true that she is deadly as a poisonous serpent, 430 00:39:13,831 --> 00:39:16,458 but she is also a beautiful woman 431 00:39:16,625 --> 00:39:19,503 and you have held her in your arms, Captain. 432 00:39:23,257 --> 00:39:26,510 I ordered my men to drive her out of the protective dome 433 00:39:26,677 --> 00:39:31,015 and, of course, she would choke to death on the outside in minutes. 434 00:39:31,181 --> 00:39:34,435 But I've arranged a more merciful end for her, 435 00:39:34,601 --> 00:39:38,605 because, after all, Captain, she is my consort. 436 00:39:40,149 --> 00:39:44,069 One tiny crystal implanted in her necklace. 437 00:39:44,236 --> 00:39:48,657 A portion of this explosive no bigger than a grain of sand. 438 00:39:48,824 --> 00:39:51,493 I propose to detonate it from here. 439 00:40:03,672 --> 00:40:06,091 Poor girl. 440 00:40:06,258 --> 00:40:10,012 Poor dear suffering child. 441 00:40:11,597 --> 00:40:14,058 I will help her now. 442 00:40:30,699 --> 00:40:33,410 There's been an explosion on Elba II. 443 00:40:33,577 --> 00:40:36,705 - 0.95. - It must have wiped out everything. 444 00:40:36,872 --> 00:40:40,292 Immediate probe.

Gentlemen. Whichever one of you is Captain Garth 489 00:45:23,950 --> 00:45:28,455 must be expending a lot of energy to maintain the image of Captain Kirk. 490 00:45:28,622 --> 00:45:32,417 That energy level cannot be maintained indefinitely 491 00:45:32,584 --> 00:45:33,919 and I have time. 492 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,267 I'm your captain, Spock. Can't you tell? Shoot! 493 00:46:32,394 --> 00:46:35,522 He's right, Spock, but you must shoot both of us. 494 00:46:35,689 --> 00:46:39,192 It's the only way to ensure the safety of the Enterprise. 495 00:46:51,371 --> 00:46:55,250 - Captain Kirk, I presume. - Mr. Spock. 496 00:47:00,422 --> 00:47:02,183 Spock to Enterprise. 497 00:47:02,448 --> 00:47:04,134 Enterprise here. 498 00:47:04,301 --> 00:47:08,138 - Queen to queen's level 37 - Queen to king's level 1. 499 00:47:10,557 --> 00:47:13,643 Will intramuscular injection be satisfactory? 500 00:47:13,810 --> 00:47:18,023 Intravenous indicated unless circumstances make it impossible. 501 00:47:18,190 --> 00:47:21,276 How long before it takes effect, Dr. McCoy? 502 00:47:21,443 --> 00:47:25,614 Reversal of arterial and brain damage should begin immediately. 503 00:47:41,046 --> 00:47:43,840 Captain Garth.

What took you so long? 515 00:49:00,208 --> 00:49:04,337 The interval of uncertainty was actually fairly brief. 516 00:49:04,504 --> 00:49:06,756 It only seemed long to you. 517 00:49:06,923 --> 00:49:09,759 I was waiting for a victor in the struggle, 518 00:49:09,926 --> 00:49:13,305 which I assumed would be Captain Garth. 519 00:49:13,471 --> 00:49:16,099 Because of your depleted condition. 520 00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:19,144 Failing a resolution to it, 521 00:49:19,311 --> 00:49:23,940 I was forced to use other means to make my determination. 522 00:49:24,107 --> 00:49:26,735 I see. 523 00:49:26,902 --> 00:49:31,156 Mr. Spock, letting yourself be hit on the head, 524 00:49:31,323 --> 00:49:35,243 and I presume you let yourself be hit on the head, 525 00:49:35,410 --> 00:49:39,915 is not exactly a method King Solomon would have approved. 526 00:49:40,081 --> 00:49:43,835 - Mr. Scott, ready to beam up. - Aye, aye, sir.
