00:00:00The
00:00:13distress call definitely came from one of the solar systems in this sector, Captain.
00:00:17Can you pinpoint it any closer, Lieutenant?
00:00:20Negative. It was so badly garbled, all we got was the name Constellation. Then we lost it.
00:00:26Sir, we're now within the limits of system L-370, but I can't seem to locate...
00:00:34Captain, sensors show this entire solar system has been destroyed.
00:00:44Nothing left but rubble and asteroids.
00:00:49That's incredible.
00:00:51The star in this system is still intact. Only a Nova could destroy like that.
00:00:57Nonetheless, Captain, sensors show nothing but debris where we charted seven planets last year.
00:01:04Continue your search pattern.
00:01:07Aye, aye, sir.
00:01:09Entering limits of system L-374, sir. Scanners show the same evidence of destruction.
00:01:27Every solar system in this sector blasted a ripple.
00:01:35There's still no sign of the Constellation.
00:01:39Matt Decker's in command. What could have happened to him?
00:01:42Captain, the two innermost planets of this system appear to be intact.
00:01:46Sir, I'm picking up a ship's disaster beacon.
00:01:49Try to raise it, Lieutenant.
00:01:51Have it on the sensors, Captain.
00:01:53By configuration, the starship stopped in space. She appears to be drifting.
00:01:58No answer, Captain. All I get is the automatic beacon.
00:02:03The sensor is not recording normal energy output.
00:02:07Approach course, Mr. Sullivan.
00:02:28It's the Constellation.
00:02:30Look at that.
00:02:34She may have been wrecked by whatever destroyed these solar systems.
00:02:39She was attacked.
00:02:53Red alert. Red alert. Man your battle stations.
00:02:59Red alert. Red alert. Man your battle stations.
00:03:03Red alert.
00:03:21Space. The Final Frontier.
00:03:23These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, its five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:03:53These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, which is the one that has gone before.
00:04:23THE END
00:04:53I can't raise the constellation, sir. I'm still getting the distress beacon, but there's heavy subspace interference. It's almost blocking the signal. Keep trying. Mr. Spock, full evaluation of the damage to the constellation.
00:05:09All power plants dead. Reserve energy banks operative at a very low power level. Life support systems? Also operative at a low power level. The entire bridge is damaged and uninhabitable. The rest of the ship seems able to sustain life.
00:05:26Radiation levels? Normal, but subspace interference makes readings difficult. No other vessels in the air, Captain. I'll scan her show clear.
00:05:35All hands go to yellow alert. Stand by battle stations.
00:05:56Lieutenant, I have Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, and the Damage Control Party report to me in the transporter room.
00:06:04Aye, sir.
00:06:05We're going to border. Mr. Spock, you're in command.
00:06:09Acknowledged.
00:06:10Radiation level normal. Atmospheric pressure 11 pounds per square inch.
00:06:37Radiation systems are out, sir.
00:06:41The whole communication system looks to be shorted out, too, sir.
00:06:44Connie, check the phaser banks. See if they've been fired. Spock, you come with me.
00:06:48Have a look, lad.
00:06:49Hardball family member.
00:06:55Jane Mathis.
00:06:59Just be tense.
00:07:01Mr. Scott, bacter Krause.
00:07:02He's soΡΠΊΠΈΠΉ.
00:07:07He says he may be.
00:07:08He seems to be statements on the wall.
00:07:13Whoa.
00:07:13He's sory.
00:07:14He needs to be there.
00:07:16I grabbed your hands.
00:07:16Who's a PS?
00:07:17Well, he's so faithful.
00:07:19What a mess.
00:07:23No clutter, no half-empty cups of coffee.
00:07:27Whatever happened didn't happen without a warning.
00:07:30What do you think did it, sir?
00:07:32I don't know, lad.
00:07:34But I want a full structural and controlled damage check.
00:07:38And I'm going to have a look at those engines.
00:07:42The crew wasn't abducted.
00:07:44They just left Kirk to Enterprise.
00:07:47Enterprise, Spock here.
00:07:50No survivors, no bodies either.
00:07:53Is it possible they were beamed down to one of the two planets?
00:07:57Improbable, Captain.
00:07:59The surface temperature of the inner planet is that of molten lead.
00:08:03The other has an atmosphere poisonous to human life.
00:08:06We'll continue our search, Kirk Allen.
00:08:17Captain, I checked the engines.
00:08:22The warp drive, that's a hopeless pile of junk.
00:08:26The impulse engines are not too badly off.
00:08:28We ought to be able to do something with them.
00:08:30Phaserbanks?
00:08:31Exhausted.
00:08:32They didn't give up without a battle.
00:08:34But where are they?
00:08:35I can't imagine a man like Matt Decker abandoning ship while his life support systems are still operative.
00:08:43Computer system is still intact.
00:08:45We can play back the duplicate Captain's log from the auxiliary control room.
00:08:49Matt.
00:09:07Matt.
00:09:07It's Jim Kirk.
00:09:10Cameroad.
00:09:20Cameroad Decker?
00:09:37Matt.
00:09:39Matt.
00:09:40Kirk.
00:09:45That's Jim Kirk.
00:09:47What happened to your ship, Matt?
00:09:50A ship attacked that thing.
00:09:56What thing?
00:09:57What was it?
00:09:57That.
00:10:03Answer me.
00:10:04What was it?
00:10:06What happened, Matt?
00:10:07Jim.
00:10:08Give him a minute.
00:10:10He's in a state of shock.
00:10:12Ready with a duplicate log, sir.
00:10:17Go.
00:10:17Captain's log, star date 4202.1, exceptionally heavy subspace interference still prevents our contacting starfleet to inform them of the destroyed solar systems we have encountered.
00:10:31We are now entering system L374.
00:10:35Science officer Masada reports the fourth planet seems to be breaking up.
00:10:40We are going to investigate.
00:10:42Fourth planet.
00:10:44Only two left now.
00:10:46Scottie pulled the microtaps from the sensor memory banks and beam them aboard to Spock on a full analysis, a complete report of what happened when they went in on that planet.
00:10:56I see.
00:10:56We tried to contact Starfleet.
00:11:01No one heard.
00:11:03No one.
00:11:06We couldn't run.
00:11:08What happened to your crew?
00:11:10Oh, I had to beam them down.
00:11:14Oh, we were dead.
00:11:16No power or phasers.
00:11:17Useless.
00:11:18I stayed behind.
00:11:21Last man.
00:11:22Captain.
00:11:23Last man aboard this ship.
00:11:26That's what you're supposed to do, isn't it?
00:11:30And then it hit again.
00:11:33And the transporter went out.
00:11:37There they were down there.
00:11:38And I'm up here.
00:11:41What here?
00:11:43What attacked you?
00:11:48They say there's no devil, Jim.
00:11:51But there is a...
00:11:54Right out of hell, I saw it.
00:11:58Matt, where's your crew?
00:12:02On the third planet.
00:12:05There is no third planet.
00:12:11Don't you think I know that?
00:12:14There was, but not anymore.
00:12:18They called me.
00:12:21They begged me for help.
00:12:23Four hundred of them.
00:12:26I couldn't.
00:12:28I couldn't.
00:12:30I couldn't.
00:12:37Captain.
00:12:39Washburn has a report.
00:12:40We made a complete check on structural and control damage, sir.
00:12:53As far as we can tell, something crashed through the deflectors and knocked out the generators.
00:12:59Somehow, the antimatter in the warp drive pods has been deactivated.
00:13:04Deactivated.
00:13:05Scotty, could some kind of general energy dampening field do that?
00:13:14And would the same type of thing account for the heavy subspace interference?
00:13:18Aye.
00:13:19It all adds up.
00:13:21But what sort of a thing could do all that?
00:13:23If you'd seen it, you'd know the whole thing's a weapon.
00:13:26It must be.
00:13:27What does it look like?
00:13:30Well, it's, it's miles long with a, with a maw that could swallow a dozen starships.
00:13:39It destroys planets, chops them into rubble.
00:13:44Well, what is it?
00:13:45An alien ship?
00:13:46Or is it alive?
00:13:47Or is it...
00:13:47Both?
00:13:48Or neither?
00:13:48I don't know.
00:13:50Matt.
00:13:53Your log stated that the fourth planet was breaking up.
00:13:56You went in to investigate.
00:13:57We saw this thing hovering over the planet, slicing out chunks of it with a force beam.
00:14:03Did you run a scanner check on it?
00:14:05What kind of a beam?
00:14:07Pure antiproton.
00:14:09Absolutely pure.
00:14:15Kirk here.
00:14:16Spock here, Captain.
00:14:18Unable to raise Starfleet command due to heavy subspace interference.
00:14:22Tempting to remedy.
00:14:24What about the Constellation's tapes?
00:14:27She was attacked by what appears to be essentially a robot.
00:14:32An automated weapon of immense size and power.
00:14:36Its apparent function is to smash planets through rubble
00:14:40and then digest the debris for fuel.
00:14:43It is therefore self-sustaining as long as there are planetary bodies for it to feed on.
00:14:49A robot weapon that purposely destroys entire solar systems.
00:14:57Why?
00:14:57Why?
00:14:57I know him, Captain.
00:15:01However, Mr. Sulu has computed the path of the machine using the destroyed solar systems as a base course.
00:15:09Projecting back on our star charts, we find that it came from outside, from another galaxy.
00:15:17What is the projected course of this thing?
00:15:20If it follows its present path, it will go through the most densely populated section of our galaxy.
00:15:35Stand by, Mr. Spock, Kirkham.
00:15:40This whole thing's incredible.
00:15:43A robot.
00:15:44A machine like that.
00:15:46Who would build it?
00:15:47We don't know.
00:15:47An alien race, apparently from another galaxy.
00:15:52But why?
00:15:56Bones?
00:16:00You ever hear of a doomsday machine?
00:16:03No, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic.
00:16:07It's a weapon built primarily as a bluff.
00:16:11It's never meant to be used.
00:16:12It's so strong it could destroy both sides of the war.
00:16:16Something like the old H-bomb was supposed to be.
00:16:21That's what I think this is.
00:16:25A doomsday machine that somebody used in a war uncounted years ago.
00:16:32They don't exist anymore.
00:16:34But the machine is still destroyed.
00:16:38Oh, forget about your theories.
00:16:40That thing is on the way to the heart of our galaxy.
00:16:43What are you going to do about it?
00:16:45Take it easy.
00:16:45The first thing we're going to do is get you back to the Enterprise.
00:16:48Oh, no.
00:16:49I stay here.
00:16:49I'm not leaving my ship.
00:16:50There's no ship to leave.
00:16:52It's a dead hulk.
00:16:55We'll take her in tow.
00:16:57I'll stay on board and get her ready.
00:17:00You go back to the Enterprise with the doctor and let them help you.
00:17:02It's just that I never lost a command before.
00:17:12Kirk to Enterprise.
00:17:16Have you transport a room?
00:17:19Beam, Dr. McCoy, and Commodore Deck are on board immediately.
00:17:23Red alert.
00:17:38Red alert.
00:17:41Red alert.
00:17:42Come on.
00:17:43It came up on us fast, Captain, but we seem able to maintain our distance.
00:17:57Blind here.
00:17:58What's it look like?
00:18:07It's very much like Commodore Deckard's Planet Killer.
00:18:11And it is pursuing us.
00:18:19, I mean,
00:18:24they're going to ask questions.
00:18:27They're going to ask the magazine,
00:18:28if they have any support.
00:18:29Let'sΠΠ°.
00:18:30They're going to ask questions.
00:18:31They're going to ask questions.
00:18:34I ain't go wrong,
00:18:36but if they are going to say it before you come on.
00:18:37We are more maneuverable, but it is gaining on us.
00:19:02Sensors indicate some kind of total conversion drive.
00:19:08No evidence of life, subspace interference level incredibly high.
00:19:14Whatever it is, we can't let it go beyond us to the next solar system. We have to stop it.
00:19:21If it's a robot, what are the chances of deactivating it?
00:19:26I would say none, Captain.
00:19:28The energy generated by our power nacelles seems to attract it.
00:19:33I doubt we could maneuver close enough without drawing a direct attack upon ourselves.
00:19:38I also believe the nature of this machine precludes the possibility of easy access to its control mechanisms.
00:19:45It's closing on us, Mr. Spock.
00:19:48Closing, Captain.
00:19:49All right, lower your deflector screens long enough to beam us aboard.
00:19:53Acknowledged.
00:19:55Transporter room. Stand by to beam landing party aboard.
00:19:59Ready to beam, sir.
00:20:01Closing, Captain.
00:20:02Bravo!
00:20:07Phase of action, Mr. Suter.
00:20:16Damage report all stations.
00:20:18Mr. Spock, will the transition for a host from the launch facility?
00:20:22Face of action, Mr. Sula.
00:20:28Damage report, all stations.
00:20:30Mr. Spock, the transporter's out.
00:20:32Effect repairs.
00:20:33Captain Kirk, come in, please.
00:20:35Kirk, here.
00:20:36Captain, we've been attacked.
00:20:37Transporter is damaged.
00:20:39We're taking evasive action.
00:20:40Mr. Spock, communications damage.
00:20:42We're unable to override interference.
00:20:45Damage and communications, Captain.
00:20:46Interference will...
00:20:48Mark.
00:20:52Spock, come in, Spock.
00:20:55Spock.
00:20:57We're stuck, blind and deaf.
00:21:00And paralyzed, no power.
00:21:04Well, we just can't stand around while our ship is being attacked.
00:21:09Scotty, you've got to get me some maneuvering power.
00:21:11I can't repair warp drive without a space star.
00:21:14Then get me impulse power, half speed, quarter speed, anything.
00:21:18If we can get this Hulk moving, maybe we can do something.
00:21:20Aye.
00:21:21The impulse engines are still in fair shape.
00:21:23I might coax them and get moving.
00:21:25Come along, lad.
00:21:26Washburn, you get in there.
00:21:28Let's see what we can do about this viewing screen.
00:21:32I've got to find out what's happening out there.
00:21:35Come on.
00:21:35Come on.
00:21:35No casualties, Mr. Spock.
00:21:51How are we doing?
00:21:52We have outrun it, Doctor.
00:21:55Status report.
00:21:57Impulse and warp engines operative.
00:21:59Transporter and communications under repair.
00:22:04Random chance seems to have operated in our favor.
00:22:08In plain non-Vulcan English, we've been lucky.
00:22:12I believe I said that, Doctor.
00:22:13It's veering off.
00:22:19Back on course for the next solar system.
00:22:22The Rigel colony, sir.
00:22:24Evidently programmed to ignore anything as small as a ship beyond a certain radius.
00:22:34We'll maintain a discrete distance and circle back to pick up the captain.
00:22:38You can't let that thing reach Rigel.
00:22:41Why, millions of innocent people would die.
00:22:43I am aware of the Rigel system's population, Commodore.
00:22:47But we are only one ship.
00:22:48Our deflector shields are strained.
00:22:51Our subspace transmitter is useless.
00:22:53Logically, our primary duty is to survive in order to warn Starfleet Command.
00:22:58Our primary duty is to maintain life and the safety of Federation planets.
00:23:04Do you deny that?
00:23:08Mr. Sula, you will lay in an evasive course back to the Constellation.
00:23:19Aye, aye, sir.
00:23:20Belay that last order, Helmsman.
00:23:24180 degree turn, hard about.
00:23:27We're going to attack.
00:23:35You will carry out my last order, Mr. Sula.
00:23:38Mr. Spock.
00:23:46I am officially notifying you that I am exercising my option under regulations as a Starfleet Commodore
00:23:55and that I am assuming command of the Enterprise.
00:23:59You have the right to do so.
00:24:02But I would advise against it.
00:24:04That thing must be destroyed.
00:24:06You tried to destroy it once before, Commodore.
00:24:09The result was a wrecked ship and a dead crew.
00:24:13I made a mistake then.
00:24:22We were too far away.
00:24:24This time I'm going to hit it with full phasers at point-blank range.
00:24:30Sensors show the object's hull is solid neutronium.
00:24:34A single ship cannot combat it.
00:24:36Mr. Spock, that will be all.
00:24:41You have been relieved of command.
00:24:43Don't force me to relieve you of duty as well.
00:24:45You can't let him do this, Spock.
00:25:01Doctor, you are out of line.
00:25:03So are you.
00:25:06Sir.
00:25:06Well, Spock?
00:25:10Unfortunately, Starfleet Order 104 Section B leaves me no alternative.
00:25:15Paragraph 1A clearly states...
00:25:17To blazes with regulations.
00:25:19You can't let him take command when you know he's wrong.
00:25:22If you can certify Commodore Decker medically or psychologically unfit for command,
00:25:28I can relieve him under Section C.
00:25:30I'll certify that right now.
00:25:34We'll also be asked to produce your medical records to prove it.
00:25:43Now, you know I haven't had time to run an examination on him.
00:25:49Then your statement would not be considered valid.
00:25:52You may leave the bridge, Doctor.
00:26:00What about the captain?
00:26:02We can't leave...
00:26:02Doctor.
00:26:05You may leave the bridge.
00:26:10Spock!
00:26:11Do something!
00:26:17Mr. Spock knows his duty under regulations, Doctor.
00:26:22To you.
00:26:52Hard about, Helmsman.
00:26:56Course.
00:26:5832 degrees mark 10.
00:27:01Deflectors at full power.
00:27:04Ready on main phaser banks.
00:27:09Aye, aye.
00:27:10See you next time.
00:27:12See you next time.
00:27:12See you next time.
00:27:13See you next time.
00:27:14See you next time.
00:27:15See you next time.
00:27:16See you next time.
00:27:17See you next time.
00:27:18See you next time.
00:27:19See you next time.
00:27:20See you next time.
00:27:21See you next time.
00:27:22See you next time.
00:27:23See you next time.
00:27:24See you next time.
00:27:25See you next time.
00:27:26See you next time.
00:27:27See you next time.
00:27:28See you next time.
00:27:29See you next time.
00:27:30See you next time.
00:27:31See you next time.
00:27:32See you next time.
00:27:33See you next time.
00:27:34See you next time.
00:27:35See you next time.
00:27:36See you next time.
00:27:37See you next time.
00:27:38See you next time.
00:27:39See you next time.
00:27:40THE END
00:28:10The Impulse Engine's control circuits are fused solid
00:28:17What about the warp drive control circuits?
00:28:21Aye, we can cross-connect the controls
00:28:23But it would make the ship almost impossible for one man to handle
00:28:26Don't worry about your miracles, Scotty
00:28:29I'll worry about mine
00:28:30Get to work
00:28:30Aye, sir
00:28:40Washburn
00:28:53Try the 2G6 circuit
00:28:56Closing fast
00:29:10Deflect those shields at full power
00:29:12They can't take much more of this
00:29:15Helmsman, hold your course
00:29:18Stand by all phaser banks
00:29:21Aye, aye, sir
00:29:23Reflector is holding but weakening
00:29:39We must retreat, Commodore
00:29:43The energy drain
00:29:44I'm in command here, Mr. Spock
00:29:46Maintain your course, Helmsman
00:29:48Get us in closer
00:29:50Ready to give it a try?
00:30:02Just one minute
00:30:03Scotty, how you doing?
00:30:09Controls are all hooked up, sir
00:30:12We should have some power for you soon
00:30:14Try it now, Captain
00:30:16Yes, I think
00:30:27The toll's going now
00:30:34Fire!
00:30:42Direction
00:30:52Enterprise, come in
00:31:20Enterprise, come in
00:31:21Mr. Spock, come in
00:31:22Correct to Enterprise
00:31:24Scotty, where's that power?
00:31:28Coming, sir
00:31:29If I push these impulse engines too hard in the condition they're in, they'll blow apart
00:31:35Washburn, be down to engineering
00:31:36This is Mr. Scott
00:31:37Aye, sir
00:31:38Scotty
00:31:48Push it right to the edge
00:31:51This ship has got to maneuver
00:31:53Aye, sir
00:31:55Sir, deflector shields are done
00:32:08Sir, deck 7 reports power failure and main energizers
00:32:12Implementing emergency procedures
00:32:16Severe casualties recorded on decks 3 and 4
00:32:21Damage control party
00:32:22Concealing off inner hall
00:32:24It has ceased fire
00:32:40It has ceased fire
00:32:40We're being held in a tractor beam
00:32:42We're being pulled inside, Commodore
00:32:47You must veer off
00:32:48Maintain phaser fire, helmsman
00:32:51We have lost warp power, we have lost warp power
00:32:52If we don't break the tractor beam within 60 seconds, we never will
00:32:57But don't you understand?
00:32:59We've got to destroy it
00:33:01That, sir, is illogical
00:33:03It is suicide
00:33:05Attempted suicide would be proof that you are psychologically unfit for command
00:33:10If you don't veer off
00:33:11If you don't veer off, I shall relieve you on that basis
00:33:15Veer off
00:33:20Emergency impulse power
00:33:22We can't break loose
00:33:24We need more power
00:33:25We haven't got it
00:33:27We're being pulled inside
00:33:29We need more power
00:33:33Let's run
00:33:34Enjoy
00:33:35We're being pulled
00:33:36Inside
00:33:37In
00:33:38Inside
00:33:39In
00:33:42Eight
00:33:43In
00:33:44Eight
00:33:49In
00:33:50Eight
00:33:55In
00:33:56Eight
00:33:57Eight
00:33:57In
00:33:58premiere
00:33:58Scotty, give me that power.
00:34:05You've got it, Captain.
00:34:06Just enough to move as I can do better.
00:34:09That'll do.
00:34:15Full ahead, Mr. Scott.
00:34:28That's it, Mr. Scott.
00:34:58Keep that power coming.
00:35:10Full power astern.
00:35:13Aye, sir.
00:35:22You still can't move.
00:35:28Keep pouring it on, Scotty.
00:35:37Captain, I still don't know what we're doing.
00:35:39We're moving.
00:35:41The Enterprise isn't.
00:35:43Maybe that thing will see us.
00:35:46Let the Enterprise go.
00:35:49I only had some phasers.
00:35:51Phasers?
00:35:52You've got them.
00:35:53I have one bank recharged.
00:35:56Scotty, just earned your pay for the week.
00:35:59Stand by.
00:36:05Fire phasers.
00:36:12We're loose, Commodore.
00:36:14Good boy, Jim.
00:36:16Between the two of us will kill that thing.
00:36:18Mr. Scott, it worked.
00:36:21Great.
00:36:28I think it's great.
00:36:29Scotty, get us out of here.
00:36:31It's closing fast on the Constellation.
00:36:34Standing by, sir.
00:36:36Commodore, I suggest.
00:36:37Hurt pulled us out of there by distracting it.
00:36:39Now it's our turn.
00:36:42Fire phasers.
00:36:42Fire phasers.
00:36:50Did it.
00:36:52Hard about it.
00:36:53Give me some distance.
00:36:58I'm moving away, Commodore.
00:37:01This machine seems to have a programmed defensive sphere.
00:37:05Any energy source entering that field is subject to attack.
00:37:09Mr. Spock, status report.
00:37:11Warp drive and deflectors will be out for a solar day.
00:37:15Repairs proceeding on transporter and communications.
00:37:18It's closing with us again, sir.
00:37:20Maintain speed and distance.
00:37:23It's sucking in space rubble from those destroyed planets.
00:37:27Refueling itself.
00:37:28We can maintain this speed for only seven hours before we exhaust our fuel.
00:37:33But it can refuel itself indefinitely.
00:37:36Then we'll have to fight it now before it gets any stronger.
00:37:39Illogical.
00:37:40We cannot destroy it.
00:37:42Therefore, we cannot save Rigel.
00:37:44We must transport the captain and the others from the constellation and escape this thing's subspace interference in order to warn Starfleet command.
00:37:54Mr. Spock, we've pierced the interference locally.
00:37:58Can you raise Starfleet?
00:37:59No, sir, but I've got ship-to-ship communications back.
00:38:02Picking up Captain Kirk.
00:38:05On audio, Lieutenant.
00:38:07Enterprise, Enterprise, come in.
00:38:10Mr. Spock, I am still in command and I will speak for this ship.
00:38:16Enterprise to Kirk.
00:38:18Commodore Decker speaking.
00:38:19Matt.
00:38:20What's going on?
00:38:22Give me Mr. Spock.
00:38:23I'm in command here, Jim.
00:38:25What happened to Spock?
00:38:27Nothing.
00:38:28I assumed command according to regulations.
00:38:31Since your first officer was reluctant to take aggressive action against the...
00:38:35You mean you're the lunatic who's responsible for almost destroying my ship?
00:38:38You are speaking to a senior officer, Kirk.
00:38:42Give me Spock.
00:38:44I told you I am in command here according to every rule in the book, Captain.
00:38:49If you have anything to say at all, you will say it to me.
00:38:52There's only one thing I want to say to you, Commodore.
00:38:55Get my ship out of there.
00:38:58Mr. Spock, ship status.
00:39:02Commodore.
00:39:06Down here.
00:39:11Warp drive out.
00:39:12Deflector shields down.
00:39:14Transporter under repair.
00:39:16We are on emergency impulse power.
00:39:18How long to repair warp drive?
00:39:20At least one solar day.
00:39:22At our present rate of consumption, we'll exhaust our impulse power long before then.
00:39:26It's gaining on us, sir.
00:39:28Take evasive action, Mr. Sulu.
00:39:31I told you I am in command here and I will give the orders, Captain.
00:39:37We are going to turn and attack.
00:39:39Not with my ship, you don't.
00:39:41Mr. Spock, relieve Commodore Decker immediately.
00:39:44That's a direct order.
00:39:45You can't relieve me and you know it according to regulations.
00:39:48Blast regulations.
00:39:49Mr. Spock, I order you to assume command on my personal authority as Captain of the Enterprise.
00:39:56Commodore Decker, you are relieved of command.
00:39:59I don't recognize your authority to relieve me.
00:40:08You may file a formal protest with Starfleet Command, assuming we survive to reach a star base.
00:40:14But you are relieved.
00:40:20Commodore, I do not wish to place you under arrest.
00:40:28You wouldn't dare.
00:40:38You're bluffing.
00:40:41Balkans never bluff.
00:40:42No.
00:40:54No, I don't suppose that they do.
00:41:00Very well, Mr. Spock.
00:41:04The bridge is yours.
00:41:06Captain, I have assumed command.
00:41:14Mr. Spock.
00:41:16One moment, sir.
00:41:17Commodore.
00:41:19I believe you are scheduled for medical examination.
00:41:22Mr. Montgomery.
00:41:23Sir.
00:41:24You will accompany the Commodore to sick bay.
00:41:26Aye, sir.
00:41:27Commodore.
00:41:27Commodore.
00:41:27Mr. Sulu.
00:41:35Mr. Sulu.
00:41:36Change course.
00:41:377-0 mark 2-1.
00:41:40Mark 21, sir.
00:41:43Captain.
00:41:44We are taking an evasive course back to you.
00:41:47We will try to stay ahead of the object until we can transport you aboard.
00:41:51Fine.
00:41:52Just make sure you stay ahead of it.
00:41:54I don't know.
00:42:24I don't know.
00:42:54I don't know.
00:43:24I don't know.
00:43:54I don't know.
00:43:55Spock.
00:43:56Yes, sir.
00:43:57I'm plotting an intercept course.
00:44:00We'll rendezvous with you at 1413.7 hours.
00:44:06Mr. Spock.
00:44:26Someone's opening the shuttlecraft bay doors.
00:44:29Shut them, Mr. Sulu.
00:44:31It's too late, sir.
00:44:32Kirk Enterprise, why are you launching a shuttlecraft?
00:44:47Who ever it is, Captain, has no authorization.
00:44:51Lieutenant, raise the shuttlecraft.
00:44:53Enterprise to shuttlecraft.
00:44:55Come in, shuttlecraft.
00:45:04Enterprise to shuttlecraft.
00:45:06Come in, shuttlecraft.
00:45:07Come in, shuttlecraft.
00:45:09Shuttlecraft to Enterprise.
00:45:15Decker here.
00:45:20Commodore, I must insist that you return to the ship.
00:45:25You said it yourself, Spock.
00:45:28There is no way to blast through the hull of that machine, so I'm going to take this thing right down its throat.
00:45:37This is Kirk.
00:45:45Matt, you'll be killed.
00:45:47I've been prepared for death ever since I...
00:45:50Ever since I killed my crew.
00:45:54No one expects you to die for an error in judgment.
00:45:56The commander is responsible for the lives of his crew and for their deaths.
00:46:02Well, I should have died with mine.
00:46:07You cannot succeed, Commodore.
00:46:09Your only logical alternative is to return to the ship.
00:46:22Matt.
00:46:24Matt, listen to me.
00:46:26You can't throw your life away like this.
00:46:32Matt, you're a starship commander.
00:46:39That makes you a valuable commodity.
00:46:41We need you.
00:46:42Your experience, your judgment.
00:46:44Matt.
00:46:46We're stronger with you than without you.
00:47:02You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:03You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:04You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:05You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:06You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:07You can't throw your life away like this.
00:47:08You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:09You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:10You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:11You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:12You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:13You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:14You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:15You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:16You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:17You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:18You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:20You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:21You can throw your life away like this.
00:47:22He's gone.
00:47:52Constellation, come in, please.
00:48:11Captain Kirk, come in, please.
00:48:20Kirk, yeah.
00:48:21Sir, may I offer my condolences on the death of your friend?
00:48:29It is most regrettable.
00:48:32It's regrettable that he died for nothing.
00:48:37Mr. Spock, sensors indicate a minute drop in the machine's power emanations.
00:48:47Do you think the shuttlecraft explosion might have done some damage?
00:48:50What about that, Spock? Is it possible?
00:48:53Drop in power is definite, Captain, but negligible.
00:48:59The object is still pursuing us, thereby causing us to drain our power reserve at a much greater rate.
00:49:06Mr. Spock, the transporter is now operational.
00:49:09Transporter operational, Captain.
00:49:12Shall we beam you aboard?
00:49:16Negative.
00:49:17Mr. Scott and I will stay here, but beam the damage control party aboard.
00:49:22Captain, there is little to be gained by staying aboard the Constellation.
00:49:26Except possibly the destruction of that thing out there.
00:49:33Carry out your orders, Mr. Spock.
00:49:35Acknowledged.
00:49:36Transporter room.
00:49:38Beam damage control party aboard.
00:49:40Aye, aye, sir.
00:49:43Spock, listen.
00:49:43Maybe Matt Decker didn't die for nothing.
00:49:49He had the right idea, but not enough power to do it.
00:49:52Am I correct in assuming that a fusion explosion of 97 megatons will result if a starship impulse engine is overloaded?
00:50:04No, sir.
00:50:0497.835 megatons.
00:50:1097.835.
00:50:12Will it be powerful enough to destroy that thing out there?
00:50:16Negative, Captain.
00:50:17Its hull is pure neutronium.
00:50:20There is no known way of blasting through it.
00:50:23Not through it, Spock.
00:50:25From inside it.
00:50:26Will it be enough?
00:50:28Insufficient data.
00:50:29I shall try to take further sensor readings.
00:50:32Do the best you can and make it fast.
00:50:35Kirk to Scott.
00:50:37Yes, sir.
00:50:38The damage control party just been back to the Enterprise.
00:50:41Good.
00:50:42Scotty, can you set the ship's impulse engines to overload?
00:50:47Aye.
00:50:47The shape that thing's in, it's hard to keep it from blowing.
00:50:50I want you to rig a 30-second delay detonation device and rig it so that it can be blown from up here.
00:50:58Aye, sir.
00:50:59Set it and get up here as fast as you can.
00:51:01Right away.
00:51:03Captain.
00:51:04The object's neutronium hull makes sensor readings of the inner mechanism impossible.
00:51:11Spock, you don't know.
00:51:13Correct.
00:51:16Captain.
00:51:17You're getting dangerously close to the planet killer.
00:51:20I intend to get a lot closer.
00:51:22I'm going to ram her right down that thing's throat.
00:51:30General, you'll be killed, just like Decker.
00:51:34No, no, no, I don't intend to die, Mr. Spark.
00:51:38We've rigged a delayed detonation device.
00:51:41You'll have 30 seconds to beam me aboard the Enterprise before the Constellation's impulse engines blow.
00:51:47Your chances of survival are not promising.
00:51:49We don't even know if the explosion will be powerful enough.
00:51:54A calculated risk, Mr. Spark.
00:51:57There's another factor, Captain.
00:51:59The transporter is not working at 100% efficiency.
00:52:0230 seconds is very slim timing.
00:52:06A chance I'll have to take Kirk out.
00:52:08A cranky transporter is a mighty finicky piece of machinery to be gambling your life on, sir.
00:52:16What about the detonator?
00:52:18I've linked it in with the impulse control system.
00:52:21It's armed now.
00:52:26Press this one.
00:52:2730 seconds later, poof.
00:52:29Once it's activated, there's no way to stop it.
00:52:33Understood.
00:52:35Mr. Spark, prepare to beam Scotty on board.
00:52:38Transporter, stand by.
00:52:40Good luck, Captain.
00:52:59What's the matter with that thing?
00:53:08It's a power drain somewhere, sir.
00:53:10I almost lost you.
00:53:12It'll never work like this.
00:53:13It's the main junction circuitry.
00:53:15I'll get it.
00:53:18Bridge.
00:53:19Transporter malfunction.
00:53:22Transporter is out, Captain.
00:53:23You'll have to stand by.
00:53:25I can't.
00:53:26Power level's dropping too fast.
00:53:27He'd better hurry.
00:53:28Acknowledged.
00:53:30Mr. Scott, the speed is of the essence.
00:53:57He's 2,000 miles from the planet
00:53:58to an enclosing fast.
00:54:09Bridge.
00:54:09Transporter operational.
00:54:11But this jury rigging won't last for long.
00:54:13He's got to come off now.
00:54:15I'll stand by here.
00:54:161,500 miles enclosing.
00:54:19Captain.
00:54:20Transporter operational, but just barely.
00:54:23Prepare to beam me aboard on my signal.
00:54:241,000 miles in closing.
00:54:351,000 miles in closing.
00:54:36Transporter, stand by.
00:54:38Steady by, sir.
00:54:39500 miles in closing.
00:55:01500 miles in closing.
00:55:01Give me aboard.
00:55:24I'll be right back.
00:55:24I'll be right back.
00:55:24Energize.
00:55:25Energize.
00:55:28Bridge.
00:55:30It's shorted out again.
00:55:33Oh, God.
00:55:34Strength.
00:55:43Gentlemen, beam me aboard.
00:55:46We can't, Captain.
00:55:47Transporter is out again.
00:55:49Mr. Scott, 20 seconds to detonation.
00:55:59Mr. Scott.
00:56:04Mr. Scott.
00:56:06Drive in first phasing.
00:56:0860, 50, 40, 30.
00:56:27Gentlemen, I suggest you beam me aboard.
00:56:3010, 9, 8.
00:56:35Mr. Scott.
00:56:366, fire now, Mr. Kyle.
00:56:405, 4.
00:56:535, 4.
00:56:545, 4.
00:56:555, 4.
00:56:565, 4.
00:56:576, 4.
00:56:585, 4.
00:56:585, 4.
00:56:596, 4.
00:57:006, 5, 5, 5, 6.

00:57:36Welcome aboard, Captain.
00:57:57Sensors show all energy sources deactivated.
00:58:03It's quite dead.
00:58:04Mr. Sulu, ease us back to minimum headway.
00:58:09Conserve power as much as possible.
00:58:11Lieutenant Palmer, tell Mr. Scott to expedite repairs on the warp drive.
00:58:18Poor Matt.
00:58:20He gave us life in an attempt to save others.
00:58:24Not the worst way to go.
00:58:26Indeed, Captain.
00:58:27I presume your log will show that Commodore Decker died in the line of duty.
00:58:32Indeed it shall, Mr. Scott.
00:58:34Ironic, isn't it?
00:58:36Way back in the 20th century, the H-bomb was the ultimate weapon.
00:58:41Their doomsday machine.
00:58:43And we used something like it to destroy another doomsday machine.
00:58:47Probably the first time such a weapon has ever been used for constructive purposes.
00:58:52Appropriate, Captain.
00:58:56However, I can't help wondering if there are any more of those weapons wandering around the universe.
00:59:04Well, I certainly hope not.
00:59:06I found one quite sufficient.
