1
00:00:04,567 --> 00:00:07,445
Captain's log, stardate 5718.3.
2
00:00:07,612 --> 00:00:12,617
The Enterprise is orbiting Elba II,
a planet with a poisonous atmosphere,
3
00:00:12,784 --> 00:00:15,411
where the Federation
maintains an asylum
4
00:00:15,578 --> 00:00:19,916
for the few remaining incorrigible
criminally insane of the galaxy.
5
00:00:20,083 --> 00:00:23,336
We are bringing a revolutionary
new medicine to them.
6
00:00:23,503 --> 00:00:29,300
A medicine with which the Federation
hopes to eliminate mental illness.
7
00:00:29,467 --> 00:00:31,719
I am transporting down
with Mr. Spock
8
00:00:31,886 --> 00:00:34,597
and we're delivering the medicine
to Dr. Donald Cory,
9
00:00:34,764 --> 00:00:37,141
governor of the colony.
10
00:00:37,308 --> 00:00:39,561
Donald, good to see you.
11
00:00:39,727 --> 00:00:42,855
Gentlemen, you don't know
what a treat this is.
12
00:00:43,022 --> 00:00:46,734
It's been too long
since I've had company.
13
00:00:46,901 --> 00:00:51,155
The force field's back in place.
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. Queen to queen's level 3.
93
00:08:11,095 --> 00:08:14,598
- I said beam me aboard.
- I said queen to queen's level 3.
94
00:08:14,765 --> 00:08:18,561
We have no time for chess problems.
Beam me aboard.
95
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:24,650
I'm following your orders.
Queen to queen's level 3.
96
00:08:26,819 --> 00:08:30,114
Just testing.
Be in touch with you later.
97
00:08:36,328 --> 00:08:39,039
No!
98
00:08:39,206 --> 00:08:41,333
No!
99
00:08:44,211 --> 00:08:46,297
No!
100
00:09:18,412 --> 00:09:22,792
I gave him the sign. 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.
It's been restful.
123
00:10:56,427 --> 00:11:01,056
Good. 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. Marta!
127
00:11:19,116 --> 00:11:22,912
Why can't I blow off
just one of his ears?
128
00:11:23,078 --> 00:11:27,207
Stop that. Mr. Spock will think
we're lacking in hospitality.
129
00:11:27,374 --> 00:11:30,044
Won't you join us, Captain?
130
00:11:32,504 --> 00:11:36,008
- How are you, Mr. Spock?
- Very well indeed, Captain.
131
00:11:36,175 --> 00:11:40,346
- Isn't Governor Cory joining us?
- He isn't on the guest list.
132
00:11:40,512 --> 00:11:44,808
- An oversight?
- An intentional one. He is fasting.
133
00:11:44,975 --> 00:11:48,938
- In that case, we decline with thanks.
- Captain.
134
00:11:49,897 --> 00:11:53,525
Don't be a fool, Jim.
Go along with him.
135
00:11:53,692 --> 00:11:55,945
Good advice, Governor.
136
00:11:56,111 --> 00:11:58,155
Well, Captain?
137
00:11:58,322 --> 00:12:01,033
You'll find we set a handsome table
138
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,370
and the entertainment
is most enjoyable.
139
00:12:05,454 --> 00:12:10,960
- You're very persuasive.
- Yes, I am. I certainly am.
140
00:12:13,671 --> 00:12:15,172
Yee-ha!
141
00:12:27,142 --> 00:12:29,937
Keep your hands off Kirk!
142
00:12:30,104 --> 00:12:32,731
You treacherous thing!
143
00:12:32,898 --> 00:12:36,735
- You're jealous.
- I am above that sort of thing.
144
00:12:36,902 --> 00:12:41,156
The captain is annoyed
by your attentions, that's all.
145
00:12:41,323 --> 00:12:44,034
Am I annoying you, dearest?
146
00:12:44,201 --> 00:12:46,453
Not really.
147
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:50,958
He finds me fascinating
and you are bothered by it. Admit it.
148
00:12:51,125 --> 00:12:53,544
I may have you beaten to death.
149
00:12:53,711 --> 00:12:58,215
No, you won't, because I am the most
beautiful woman on this planet.
150
00:12:58,382 --> 00:13:01,301
You're the only woman,
you stupid cow.
151
00:13:01,468 --> 00:13:03,887
I'm the most beautiful in the galaxy.
152
00:13:04,054 --> 00:13:07,641
- You're repulsive!
- I'm beautiful!
153
00:13:07,808 --> 00:13:14,523
And I'm intelligent, too. I write poetry
and I paint marvelous pictures.
154
00:13:14,690 --> 00:13:20,362
- And I am a wonderful dancer.
- Lies, all lies!
155
00:13:20,529 --> 00:13:23,782
You're the greatest liar
I have ever met.
156
00:13:23,949 --> 00:13:27,202
Let me hear one poem
you've written.
157
00:13:27,369 --> 00:13:29,163
If you like.
158
00:13:30,122 --> 00:13:35,544
If you create a diversion, I'll find the
control room and open the force field.
159
00:13:35,711 --> 00:13:39,048
We need seconds.
Scotty has alerted a security detail.
160
00:13:39,214 --> 00:13:42,217
Gentlemen,
courtesy for the performer.
161
00:13:44,845 --> 00:13:47,514
"Shall I compare thee
to a summer's day?
162
00:13:47,681 --> 00:13:50,309
"Thou art more lovely
and more temperate.
163
00:13:50,476 --> 00:13:55,606
"Rough winds do shake the darling buds
of May and summer's lease hath..."
164
00:13:55,773 --> 00:13:59,151
- You wrote that?
- Yesterday, as a matter of fact.
165
00:13:59,318 --> 00:14:03,947
It was written by an Earthman named
Shakespeare a long time ago.
166
00:14:04,114 --> 00:14:08,744
Which does not alter the fact
that I wrote it again yesterday.
167
00:14:08,911 --> 00:14:12,664
I think it's one of my best poems.
Don't you?
168
00:14:12,831 --> 00:14:16,210
I may kill you with my bare hands!
169
00:14:19,421 --> 00:14:22,132
Actually, Captain,
she is a superb dancer.
170
00:14:22,299 --> 00:14:25,177
Marta, won't you dance
for our guests?
171
00:14:26,762 --> 00:14:29,223
That was not a request.
172
00:14:53,956 --> 00:14:58,836
- Marvelous, isn't she, Captain?
- Yes, incredible.
173
00:14:59,002 --> 00:15:00,546
What is your reaction, Mr. Spock?
174
00:15:00,712 --> 00:15:05,092
I find it mildly interesting
and nostalgic.
175
00:15:05,259 --> 00:15:08,428
- If understand the use of that word.
- Nostalgic?
176
00:15:08,595 --> 00:15:10,681
Yes. It is reminiscent of the dances
177
00:15:10,848 --> 00:15:14,309
that Vulcan children
do in nursery school.
178
00:15:15,352 --> 00:15:20,274
Of course, the children
are not so... well-coordinated.
179
00:16:28,717 --> 00:16:30,928
She's yours if you wish.
180
00:16:31,094 --> 00:16:38,018
Oh, er... Thank you.
That's um... very magnanimous of you.
181
00:16:43,523 --> 00:16:46,360
You'll find that I am magnanimous
to my friends
182
00:16:46,526 --> 00:16:48,195
and merciless to my enemies
183
00:16:48,362 --> 00:16:51,073
and I want both of you
to be my friends.
184
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,619
On what precisely is
our friendship to be based?
185
00:16:55,786 --> 00:17:00,457
Upon the firmest of foundations,
Mr. Spock. Enlightened self interest.
186
00:17:01,541 --> 00:17:06,546
You are second only to me as the finest
military commander in the galaxy.
187
00:17:06,713 --> 00:17:13,220
Very flattering. I am primarily
an explorer now, Captain Garth.
188
00:17:13,387 --> 00:17:17,849
So am I. I have charted more
new worlds than any man in history.
189
00:17:18,016 --> 00:17:22,271
And tried to destroy Antos IV. 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.
Put Captain Kirk in the chair.
285
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:44,921
- No, you mustn't do that.
- You are becoming offensive to me.
286
00:24:45,088 --> 00:24:48,842
Don't make it necessary
for me to put you in it.
287
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,445
Queen to queen's level 3,
Captain Kirk?
288
00:25:25,879 --> 00:25:27,964
Please, stop it!
289
00:25:28,131 --> 00:25:30,592
You want him, don't you?
290
00:25:31,676 --> 00:25:33,511
Yes.
291
00:25:33,678 --> 00:25:36,139
Badly enough to join him?
292
00:25:37,265 --> 00:25:44,314
Listen to me, my Lord Garth. 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. Slowly.
306
00:26:58,096 --> 00:27:00,181
Rest.
307
00:27:02,016 --> 00:27:07,063
Is this more of Garth's persuasion,
Marta?
308
00:27:08,398 --> 00:27:12,026
I told him I'd discover your secret.
309
00:27:12,193 --> 00:27:17,115
I lied. I would have told him anything
to save you from that torment.
310
00:27:23,037 --> 00:27:25,707
- I believe you mean that.
- I do.
311
00:27:33,006 --> 00:27:35,675
This is where I've longed to be.
312
00:27:36,718 --> 00:27:41,014
I think I knew I loved you
from the moment I first saw you.
313
00:27:42,056 --> 00:27:44,142
Marta.
314
00:27:45,184 --> 00:27:49,439
Marta, I can help you.
315
00:27:49,606 --> 00:27:53,359
But I must get to
the Enterprise to do that.
316
00:27:54,652 --> 00:27:57,905
- That's not possible.
- Yes, it is.
317
00:27:58,072 --> 00:28:01,326
It is if I can get to the control room
318
00:28:01,492 --> 00:28:06,414
and remove the force field,
then Garth is finished.
319
00:28:08,625 --> 00:28:12,337
- Garth is my leader.
- He will lead you to destruction.
320
00:28:12,503 --> 00:28:18,384
He's... already destroyed the medicine
that could have helped you,
321
00:28:18,551 --> 00:28:21,929
but there's more medicine
aboard the ship.
322
00:28:22,096 --> 00:28:24,849
I'll help you, but you must wait.
323
00:28:26,434 --> 00:28:29,270
Do you see that?
Soon Spock will be here...
324
00:28:29,437 --> 00:28:33,191
- Spock?
- At least I've arranged that much.
325
00:28:34,233 --> 00:28:36,277
How did you manage that?
326
00:28:36,444 --> 00:28:41,407
A convincing lie told to a guard
who finds me... desirable.
327
00:28:41,574 --> 00:28:43,660
Darling...
328
00:29:06,474 --> 00:29:08,893
No, you mustn't stop me!
329
00:29:09,060 --> 00:29:11,896
He's my lover and I have to kill him.
330
00:29:18,361 --> 00:29:21,072
She's worked out an infallible method
331
00:29:21,239 --> 00:29:24,742
for ensuring permanent male fidelity.
Interesting.
332
00:29:24,909 --> 00:29:27,161
- I'm glad to see you.
- Thank you.
333
00:29:27,328 --> 00:29:30,206
I presume we should reach
the control room.
334
00:29:30,373 --> 00:29:32,667
Yes, you presume correctly.
335
00:30:21,883 --> 00:30:24,886
- Force field is off.
- Kirk to Enterprise.
336
00:30:25,052 --> 00:30:29,348
- Kirk to Enterprise.
- Mr. Scott, it's the captain.
337
00:30:30,892 --> 00:30:33,686
Scott here, Captain.
You had us worried.
338
00:30:33,853 --> 00:30:37,899
I want an armed security detail
beamed down here on the double.
339
00:30:38,065 --> 00:30:40,359
They're in the transporter room.
340
00:30:40,526 --> 00:30:45,531
And have Dr. McCoy prepare additional
medicine as quickly as possible.
341
00:30:45,698 --> 00:30:50,495
I suggest you return to the ship.
Your safety is vital to the Enterprise.
342
00:30:50,661 --> 00:30:52,705
Waiting for your order.
343
00:30:52,872 --> 00:30:56,834
I request permission to remain
in charge of the security team.
344
00:30:57,001 --> 00:30:59,629
- Very well.
- Still waiting, Captain.
345
00:30:59,796 --> 00:31:02,673
The captain's life
is in immediate danger.
346
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,552
Beam him aboard. The security
team will be entrusted to me.
347
00:31:06,719 --> 00:31:10,932
Queen to queen's level 3. Repeat.
348
00:31:14,393 --> 00:31:20,107
- He's waiting for the proper reply.
- Give the countersign as ordered.
349
00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:25,947
Scotty, Mr. Spock
will give the countersign.
350
00:31:31,577 --> 00:31:33,788
Give him the countersign, Captain.
351
00:31:33,955 --> 00:31:37,250
Security detail,
stand by to beam down.
352
00:31:42,547 --> 00:31:45,091
Blast away, Captain, if you can.
353
00:31:46,717 --> 00:31:50,471
You think I'm fool enough
to give you a charged phaser?
354
00:32:00,064 --> 00:32:02,525
What have you done with Spock?
355
00:32:02,692 --> 00:32:06,404
I have done nothing with him as yet,
but I do have plans for him.
356
00:32:06,571 --> 00:32:12,243
The Vulcan will die rather horribly and
his death will be on your conscience.
357
00:32:16,414 --> 00:32:18,541
- Captain Garth...
- Lord Garth!
358
00:32:18,708 --> 00:32:25,798
No, sir, Captain Garth,
starship fleet captain.
359
00:32:25,965 --> 00:32:27,884
That's an honorable title.
360
00:32:28,050 --> 00:32:31,470
And I was the greatest of them all,
wasn't I?
361
00:32:31,637 --> 00:32:33,931
Yes, you were.
362
00:32:38,269 --> 00:32:41,981
- But you're a sick man now.
- I have never been more healthy.
363
00:32:42,148 --> 00:32:43,274
No. Think.
364
00:32:43,441 --> 00:32:49,488
Think back to what you were, before
the accident that sent you to Antos IV.
365
00:32:51,157 --> 00:32:53,576
Try.
366
00:32:53,743 --> 00:32:59,123
I can't remember. It's almost
as if I had died and was reborn.
367
00:32:59,290 --> 00:33:02,418
No. I... I can remember.
368
00:33:03,461 --> 00:33:09,050
You... were the finest student
at the Academy.
369
00:33:09,216 --> 00:33:13,471
The finest starship captain.
You were the prototype.
370
00:33:13,638 --> 00:33:16,349
The model for the rest of us.
371
00:33:16,515 --> 00:33:19,268
Yes, I do remember that.
372
00:33:20,311 --> 00:33:24,941
It was a great responsibility,
but one I was proud to bear.
373
00:33:25,107 --> 00:33:27,193
You bore it well.
374
00:33:28,611 --> 00:33:34,617
And the disease that changed you,
it's not your fault.
375
00:33:34,784 --> 00:33:39,413
The terrible things you did since then,
you're not truly responsible.
376
00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:42,208
I don't want to hear any more.
You're weak.
377
00:33:42,375 --> 00:33:45,002
- You're trying to drain my strength.
- No.
378
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:50,174
I want you to find what you had and
go back to greatness, Captain Garth.
379
00:33:50,341 --> 00:33:53,052
I am Lord Garth!
380
00:33:53,219 --> 00:33:59,433
Master of the universe. 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.
Is the force field in place?
445
00:40:40,459 --> 00:40:44,213
- Yes, sir, solidly.
- Life continues to exist on the planet.
446
00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:46,423
Got to break through somehow.
447
00:40:46,590 --> 00:40:51,595
I told you we couldn't do it without
killing everyone in the asylum dome.
448
00:40:51,762 --> 00:40:53,806
I know it, Scotty.
449
00:40:53,972 --> 00:40:57,393
Well, there's one last thing
we might try.
450
00:40:57,559 --> 00:41:02,189
Perhaps the ship's phasers can cut
through the force field at a weak point.
451
00:41:02,356 --> 00:41:06,068
- Where did you say it was located?
- On the far side.
452
00:41:06,235 --> 00:41:09,238
- Will it leave a margin of safety?
- Yes.
453
00:41:09,405 --> 00:41:12,491
Prepare to change orbital path,
Mr. Sulu.
454
00:41:12,658 --> 00:41:16,412
- Orbital coordinates released.
- Break synchronous orbit.
455
00:41:16,578 --> 00:41:18,455
Come to course 14, mark 68.
456
00:41:21,834 --> 00:41:27,297
Course 14, mark 68.
Synchronous orbit re-established, sir.
457
00:41:27,464 --> 00:41:31,510
- Ship's phasers to narrow beam.
- Ship's phasers ready, sir.
458
00:41:31,677 --> 00:41:34,054
Let's punch a hole in it. Full power.
459
00:41:38,183 --> 00:41:40,144
Another blast, full power.
460
00:41:44,857 --> 00:41:47,151
Force field still holding, sir.
461
00:41:50,446 --> 00:41:52,364
Here.
462
00:41:58,454 --> 00:42:01,165
How are your nerves, Kirk?
463
00:42:01,331 --> 00:42:05,961
All I can say is
if it happens to me, it happens to you.
464
00:42:06,128 --> 00:42:08,839
You're an extraordinary fellow, Kirk.
465
00:42:09,006 --> 00:42:12,259
Your stubbornness defies all logic.
466
00:42:12,426 --> 00:42:15,554
Logic, there's the key.
467
00:42:16,722 --> 00:42:20,017
Your friend Spock is a logical man.
468
00:42:21,059 --> 00:42:23,145
A very logical man.
469
00:42:24,438 --> 00:42:27,357
Go and bring the Vulcan here to me.
470
00:43:32,506 --> 00:43:36,510
Spock is not only a more logical man
than you, Captain,
471
00:43:36,677 --> 00:43:39,680
but a more intelligent one, I'm sure.
472
00:43:39,846 --> 00:43:42,599
I shall establish a rapport with him.
473
00:43:54,611 --> 00:43:56,738
Fascinating.
474
00:43:57,739 --> 00:44:02,869
Your Vulcan friend is a very ingenious
fellow. This could be most amusing.
475
00:44:10,961 --> 00:44:15,257
- That's Garth, stun him.
- Hold it, Spock. That's Garth.
476
00:44:23,765 --> 00:44:27,436
Look at me carefully, Spock.
Can't you tell I'm your captain?
477
00:44:27,603 --> 00:44:29,479
Queen to queen's level 3.
478
00:44:29,646 --> 00:44:32,941
I won't answer.
That's what he wants to know.
479
00:44:33,108 --> 00:44:37,070
Very clever, Garth.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
480
00:44:38,614 --> 00:44:42,326
- What are you doing?
- Beaming down a security team.
481
00:44:42,492 --> 00:44:46,079
- Any objections?
- Yes, they may walk into a trap.
482
00:44:48,248 --> 00:44:51,001
That's right. Garth can destroy us.
483
00:44:52,294 --> 00:44:54,171
Fascinating.
484
00:44:55,631 --> 00:45:00,052
What maneuver did we use to defeat
the Romulan vessel near Tau Ceti?
485
00:45:00,218 --> 00:45:02,888
Very good. The Cochrane deceleration.
486
00:45:03,930 --> 00:45:08,894
Spock, the Cochrane deceleration's
a classic battle maneuver.
487
00:45:09,061 --> 00:45:14,066
- Every starship captain knows that.
- Agreed, Captain.
488
00:45:16,568 --> 00:45:23,784
Captains. 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. I'm James Kirk.
504
00:47:46,468 --> 00:47:50,514
I'm Mr. Spock,
science officer on a starship.
505
00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:58,939
- The starship Enterprise.
- Starship... Starship...
506
00:47:59,105 --> 00:48:02,984
Yes, sir. The Enterprise.
I'm the captain.
507
00:48:13,537 --> 00:48:15,789
- Can I help?
- No, Captain.
508
00:48:15,956 --> 00:48:18,834
The medicine
seems to be taking effect.
509
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,920
I can manage. It's very encouraging.
510
00:48:31,137 --> 00:48:36,935
- Should I know you, sir?
- No, Captain.
511
00:48:43,650 --> 00:48:46,069
- Mr. Spock.
- Yes, Captain.
512
00:48:46,236 --> 00:48:50,490
Tell me. Why was it impossible
to tell the difference between us?
513
00:48:50,657 --> 00:48:54,119
It was not impossible.
Our presence here is proof of that.
514
00:48:54,286 --> 00:49:00,041
Yes, and congratulations.
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.
