00:00:00No doubt about it, Captain.

00:00:10Space debris comes from the survey vessel, the S.S. Beagle.

00:00:15Missing for six years, and all this junk in space.

00:00:20Portions of the antimatter nacelles and personal belongings.

00:00:25Captain, no signs of bodies whatsoever.

00:00:30Then whatever destroyed the ship, the crew was able to get off safely.

00:00:34Navigator, compute the present drift of the wreckage.

00:00:38Computed and on the board, sir.

00:00:41Mr. Spock, assuming that the wreckage drifted at the same speed and direction for the past six years.

00:00:48It would have come from planet four star system eight, nine, two, directly ahead.

00:00:56On a one-sixteenth parsec away, Captain.

00:01:00We should be there in seconds.

00:01:02Standard orbit around planet.

00:01:05There may be survivors there.

00:01:06S.S. Beagle.

00:01:09Small class four star drive vessel.

00:01:13Crew of 47.

00:01:15Commanded by...

00:01:17Jim, I believe you knew him.

00:01:19Captain R.M. Merrick.

00:01:25Yes, at the academy.

00:01:27He was dropped in his fifth year.

00:01:30He went into the merchant service.

00:01:32Coming up on the planet, Captain.

00:01:35Put it on the screen.

00:01:36Definitely class N.

00:01:44Somewhat similar to Earth.

00:01:46Yeah, similar.

00:01:48The land masses and oceans are quite different out of them.

00:01:52Different in shape only, Captain.

00:01:55The portion of land to water is exactly as on your Earth.

00:01:58Density 5.5.

00:02:00Diameter 7917 on the equator.

00:02:03Atmospheric 78% nitrogen.

00:02:0621% oxygen.

00:02:07Again, exactly like Earth.

00:02:10Exactly in some ways.

00:02:12Different in others.

00:02:14I also picked up indications of large cities.

00:02:17What era?

00:02:19No sign of atomic power as yet,

00:02:21but far enough along for radio communications,

00:02:24power, transportation,

00:02:26an excellent road system.

00:02:27Captain,

00:02:28both amplitude and frequency modulation being used.

00:02:33I think I can pick up something visual.

00:02:35It's a news broadcast using a system

00:02:39I think they once called video.

00:02:43Television was the colloquial term.

00:02:46Put it on the screen.

00:02:48All right.

00:02:54We've clouded up to still another group of dissidents.

00:02:58Authorities are as yet unable to explain

00:03:00these fresh outbreaks of reasonable disobedience

00:03:03by well-treated, well-protected, intelligent slaves.

00:03:10Now turning to the world of sports

00:03:12and bringing you the taped results

00:03:15of the arena games last night.

00:03:18The first heat involved amateurs.

00:03:21They're petty thieves in city prison,

00:03:24conducted, however, with traditional weapons

00:03:26if provided some of the use.

00:03:30For a few moments.

00:03:31In the second heat of slightly more professional display

00:03:36in the spirit of our splendid fast,

00:03:38when gladiator Cautius Marcus

00:03:40killed the last of the barbarians,

00:03:43William B. Harrison,

00:03:45in an excellent example of...

00:03:47Transmission lost, sir.

00:03:53Shall I try to get it back?

00:03:55Slaves.

00:03:55I'm gladiator.

00:03:59What are we seeing?

00:04:0120th century Rome?

00:04:02Captain.

00:04:04The one described as the barbarian

00:04:06is also listed here.

00:04:08Flight officer William B. Harrison

00:04:10of the S.S. Beagle.

00:04:13At least there were some survivors down there.

00:04:17Ready to the transporter room, Mr. Spock.

00:04:21We're beaming down.

00:04:22Space, the final frontier.

00:04:38These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.

00:04:51Its five-year mission.

00:04:53To explore strange new worlds.

00:04:56To seek out new life and new civilizations.

00:05:00To boldly go where no man has gone before.

00:05:04To be continued...

00:05:21To be continued...

00:05:34You could have selected a more convenient place, Mr. Sparrow.

00:05:58But hardly more practical, Captain.

00:06:00Close to the city we located, but not popular.

00:06:03We should not be observed.

00:06:04We should not be observed.

00:06:34We should not be observed.

00:06:41Fascinating.

00:06:42This atmosphere is remarkably similar to your 20th century.

00:06:48Moderately industrialized pollution containing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide and partially consumed hydrocarbons.

00:06:58The word was smog.

00:07:00Yes, I believe that was the term.

00:07:05I have no idea with that much of a historian, Doctor.

00:07:07I am not, Mr. Spock.

00:07:09I was simply trying to stop you from giving us a whole lecture on the subject.

00:07:13Jim, is there anything at all we know about this planet?

00:07:17The SS Beagle was the first ship to make a survey of the star sector when it disappeared.

00:07:23Then the prime directive is in full force, Captain?

00:07:26No identification of self-omission.

00:07:28No interference with the social development of said planet.

00:07:31No references to space or the fact that there are other worlds or more advanced civilizations.

00:07:36Let's go.

00:07:37Once, just once, I'd like to be able to land someplace and say, behold, I am the Archangel Gabriel.

00:07:56I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor.

00:08:00Naturally.

00:08:01You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mr. Spock.

00:08:05But say you landed someplace with a pitchfork.

00:08:10No move!

00:08:11Hands in the air!

00:08:19Fleet Earth parallel.

00:08:21The language here is English.

00:08:23I said don't move!

00:08:27I think he means it, Spock.

00:08:30There would seem to be evidence to that effect.

00:08:53He's a great friend.

00:08:58Who are you?

00:09:00We come from another province.

00:09:02Where are you from?

00:09:05What do you call those?

00:09:07I call them ears.

00:09:09You're trying to be funny.

00:09:12They call them ears.

00:09:14You're trying to be funny.

00:09:15You're trying to be funny.

00:09:18If you look at them, it's yours.

00:09:20You're trying to be funny.

00:09:21Trying to be funny?

00:09:24Never.

00:09:26Colloquial 20th century English.

00:09:28An amazing parallel.

00:09:32We come from a place that's quite some journey from here.

00:09:35I doubt if you've even heard...

00:09:36Uniform.

00:09:38Probably some new Praetorian garden.

00:09:43I should kill you here.

00:09:47Septimus would probably be displeased.

00:09:51Move.

00:09:53Move!

00:10:21I didn't harm them, Septimus, as much as I wanted to.

00:10:29Keep always in your mind, Flavius, that our way is peace.

00:10:34For which we are grateful.

00:10:36For we're men of peace ourselves.

00:10:38Are you children of the sun?

00:10:45Well, if you're speaking of worships of sorts, we represent many beliefs.

00:10:51There is only one true belief.

00:10:53Roman butchers sent here by the first citizen.

00:10:58Do we look like any Romans you ever saw?

00:11:01And are you slaves like ourselves?

00:11:04Our people don't believe in slavery.

00:11:06Roman life.

00:11:08We must kill them.

00:11:10Sir, we came here looking for some friends.

00:11:13Forty-seven of them who were stranded here some six years ago.

00:11:18They wore clothing similar to ours.

00:11:20Have you heard of such men?

00:11:23Septimus.

00:11:23I know killing is evil, but sometimes it's necessary.

00:11:29No.

00:11:30But they've located us, our hiding place.

00:11:33It's better to kill a few of them than all of us.

00:11:36Wait.

00:11:39I can prove we're telling the truth.

00:11:42A small device.

00:11:45I'll take it out slowly.

00:11:51Kerr to Enterprise.

00:11:52Come in.

00:11:53Scott here, Captain.

00:11:55Scotty.

00:11:57Lock in on my transmission beam.

00:12:00Scan us.

00:12:01Scanning, sir.

00:12:02Including ourselves.

00:12:04How many of us are there?

00:12:06Twelve, Captain.

00:12:07Good, Scotty.

00:12:09Continue scanning.

00:12:11We'll maintain transmission.

00:12:12The Enterprise is our ship.

00:12:17Somewhere at sea.

00:12:21That's all I can tell you.

00:12:23If it isn't sufficient,

00:12:26you will have to kill us.

00:12:36Tell me the Empire has a device like that, Flavius,

00:12:40and you may kill them.

00:12:41Otherwise, accept them as friends.

00:12:45Captain's log, stardate 4-0-4-0.7.

00:12:57On the surface of planet 4, system 8-9-2,

00:13:01the landing party has won the confidence

00:13:03of what obviously is a group of runaway slaves.

00:13:06They dwell in caves not far from a large city where rags live under primitive conditions,

00:13:13but they are creatures of a heavily industrialized 20th century-type planet,

00:13:18very much like Earth.

00:13:20An amazing example of Hodgkin's law of parallel planet development.

00:13:25But on this Earth, Rome never fell.

00:13:30A world ruled by emperors who can trace their line back 2,000 years

00:13:35to their own Julius and Augustus Caesars.

00:13:38No, Captain.

00:13:41I'm sure I would have heard of the arrival of other men like you.

00:13:45Perhaps you've heard, let's say, an impossible story,

00:13:50or a rumor,

00:13:52of men who came from the sky,

00:13:55or from other worlds.

00:13:58There are no other worlds.

00:14:01The stars.

00:14:03Lights shining through from heaven.

00:14:06It is where the sun is.

00:14:10Blessed be the sun.

00:14:14Yes, of course.

00:14:20Captain, I thought you might find this interesting.

00:14:28The Jupiter 8.

00:14:38Conventional internal combustion engine.

00:14:40You were right about this morning.

00:14:42But the Jupiter 8.

00:14:45Mars toothpaste.

00:14:49Neptune bath salts.

00:14:52Taken from the names of false gods.

00:14:55When I was a senator, I worshipped them too.

00:14:58But I heard the words of the sun.

00:15:02I became a brother.

00:15:04For that, they made me a slave.

00:15:09Septimus.

00:15:11We need your help.

00:15:14We must go into the city.

00:15:16We know that one of our missing friends was seen there recently.

00:15:20My advice to you is to leave.

00:15:22Go back where you came from.

00:15:25We can't do that.

00:15:26Perhaps you know his name.

00:15:29Merrick.

00:15:30Captain Merrick.

00:15:34Merrickus.

00:15:42Yes, he's the leader of our friends.

00:15:45Merrickus is the first citizen.

00:15:49What's your...

00:15:50Does it sound like the same man?

00:15:51Captain.

00:15:53A logical question, if I may.

00:15:56Septimus.

00:15:57How many years ago did Merrickus become your first citizen?

00:16:02Perhaps five years.

00:16:04Almost six.

00:16:06I was there when he became Lord of the Games.

00:16:09If he is your friend, you are no friend of ours.

00:16:20Septimus.

00:16:21Wherever we may be from, you must believe that it is one of our most important laws.

00:16:27But none of us interfere with the affairs of others.

00:16:30If Captain Merrick is Merrickus, then he has violated that law and he must be taken away and punished.

00:16:39Will you help us to get to the truth of all this?

00:16:49First, I must discuss it with the others.

00:16:53Curious, Captain.

00:17:07There's similarity in names.

00:17:09Were you told why Merrick was dropped from the Space Academy?

00:17:12He failed a psycho-simulator to solar tanks as a split-second of indecision.

00:17:17Hardly the time to become a political strongman.

00:17:21I thought these people should worship the sun.

00:17:23Why don't you?

00:17:26Because, my dear Mr. Spunk, it is illogical.

00:17:29Rome had no sun worshippers.

00:17:32Why should they parallel Rome in every way except one?

00:17:41We have decided.

00:17:43Flavius will guide you.

00:17:46We will provide you with suitable clothing.

00:17:49I caution you.

00:17:50Take great care.

00:17:51Father, the police are everywhere.

00:17:56May the blessings of the sun be upon you.

00:18:00We'll wait here until dark.

00:18:25Are you a slave, Flavius?

00:18:31You are barbarians, indeed.

00:18:35Not to know of Flavius Maximus.

00:18:40For seven years, I was the most successful gladiator in this province.

00:18:45Then you heard the word of the sun.

00:18:52Yes.

00:18:54The words of peace and freedom.

00:18:58It wasn't easy for me to believe I was trained to fight.

00:19:07But the words, the words are true.

00:19:11There are many things I'd like to know.

00:19:13Oh, don't move.

00:19:19Hands in the air.

00:19:20Four fleeing fish.

00:19:25Four fleeing fish.

00:19:50A fine hall.

00:19:54Flavius Maximus.

00:20:03You've been too long absent from the game, Flavius.

00:20:07Flavius Maximus.

00:20:08The first citizen will be pleased.

00:20:14Runaway slaves are always welcome.

00:20:18oh not slave barbarians it's been a long time since i've watched barbarians die in the arena

00:20:35captain's log stardate 4040.9 uniformed police like those of earth a great city like rome with

00:20:56automobiles astonishing similarities to 20th century earth down to the fine carbon steel in

00:21:04the bar tell maracas i'd like to see him the first citizen why would he bother with arena bait like

00:21:27you tell him it's jim kirk perhaps a friend perhaps well if i am a friend and you don't tell him

00:21:36do you really want to risk that

00:21:39but if there have been slaves for over 2 000 years hasn't there always been discontent

00:22:08runaways long ago there were rebellions but they were suppressed and with each century the slaves

00:22:17acquired more rights under the law they received rights to medicine the right to government payments

00:22:27in their old age and they slowly learn to be content even more fascinating slavery evolving into an

00:22:39institution with guaranteed medical payments old age pensions quite logical i'd say mr spock just as it's

00:22:47logical that uh 20th century rome would use television to show its gladiator contest

00:22:56or name a new car the jupiter eight doctor if i were able to show emotion your new infatuation with that

00:23:04term would begin to annoy me what term what medical men are trained in logic mr spock really doctor i had no idea they were trained watching you i assumed it was trial and error

00:23:20i'm not sure when the slaves began to worship the sun they became discontent again when did all this happen

00:23:37long ago perhaps as long ago as the beginning of the empire the message of the sun that all men are brothers was kept from us

00:23:51perhaps i'm a fool to believe it

00:23:57it does often seem that man must fight to live

00:24:04you go on believing in flavius

00:24:07all men are brothers

00:24:09flavius

00:24:20your friends are waiting for you

00:24:28you've already been matched for the morning games

00:24:31come

00:24:32i will not fight

00:24:33i am a brother of the sun

00:24:35put a sword in your hand and you'll fight

00:24:38i know you flavius you're as peaceful as a bull

00:24:42you three come with us

00:24:56three against three we may never have a better chance

00:24:59no talking

00:25:00outside

00:25:01i doubt if he'll get very far he feels ill

00:25:04i do

00:25:06outside

00:25:08all right but he'll double over before we get very far

00:25:13oh i

00:25:14i think i can walk

00:25:15i'll

00:25:16i'll try

00:25:17let's go

00:25:38well done jim

00:25:40i'm afraid it isn't that easy

00:25:49they've been handling slaves here for two thousand years

00:25:54but it was exciting

00:25:56they do well in the arena

00:25:58they do well in the arena

00:26:00captain mary

00:26:01i don't know if you want to talk about it

00:26:03yes it's me

00:26:04this is our proconsul claudius marcus

00:26:09but this is no place for a reunion

00:26:12this way

00:26:14your friends too

00:26:15there's lots to talk about

00:26:25lots to explain

00:26:27i agree

00:26:30don't judge me

00:26:34before you know the facts

00:26:36come on

00:26:41we can talk freely here

00:26:42the proconsul knows who and what we are

00:26:45you can leave us

00:27:02well a celebration

00:27:06a meeting of all friends

00:27:08prepare food for our friends

00:27:11they've come from a great distance

00:27:13great distance indeed

00:27:15so this is a vulcan

00:27:19interesting

00:27:21from what i've heard

00:27:24i wish i had 50 of you for the arena

00:27:27this other is your ship surgeon

00:27:30mccoy

00:27:30it's a pity we can't let him loose in our hospitals

00:27:35our level of medicine would improve immeasurably i'm sure

00:27:38come

00:27:39you must be hungry

00:27:40gentlemen

00:27:42oh try the sparrow

00:27:56broiled and garred

00:27:58delicious

00:27:58oh perhaps some of this rose kid

00:28:01lovely thing isn't she

00:28:04all right

00:28:07what happened

00:28:09we had meteor damage

00:28:13jim

00:28:13i went ashore with the landing party

00:28:18to look for iridium ore for repairs

00:28:22and i met this gentleman

00:28:23go on

00:28:26he convinced me it would be unfair to this world to carry word of their existence elsewhere

00:28:32contamination

00:28:34contamination

00:28:34can't reset

00:28:35oh uh

00:28:36you'll understand as you learn more about us

00:28:39so i made the decision to stay

00:28:42what happened to your crew

00:28:46did they voluntarily beam

00:28:52come ashore

00:28:54this is an ordered world jim

00:28:58a conservative world based on time-honored roman strengths and virtues

00:29:04what happened to your crew

00:29:06there's been no war here for over 400 years jim

00:29:10could let's say your land of that same era make that same boast

00:29:14i think you can see why they don't want to have their stability contaminated by dangerous ideas of other ways and other places

00:29:24interesting

00:29:26and given a conservative empire

00:29:28quite understandable

00:29:30are you out of your head

00:29:32i said i understood it doctor

00:29:33i find the checks and balances of this civilization quite illuminating

00:29:38next you'll be telling us he prefers it over earth history

00:29:42they do seem to have escaped the carnage of your first three world wars doctor

00:29:48they have slavery

00:29:50gladiatorial games

00:29:52despotism

00:29:53situations quite familiar to the six million who died in your first world war

00:29:58the eleven million who died in your second

00:30:00the thirty-seven million who died in your third

00:30:03shall i go on

00:30:04interesting

00:30:06and you captain

00:30:10which world do you prefer

00:30:12my world pro consul is my vessel

00:30:15my oath

00:30:16my crew

00:30:17what happened to your vessel

00:30:20you've explained

00:30:21what happened to your oath is obvious

00:30:24and as for my men

00:30:26those that were able to adapt to this world

00:30:31are still alive

00:30:32those who couldn't adapt are dead

00:30:36that's the way is with life everywhere isn't it

00:30:40you sent your own men into the arena

00:30:43just as i did jim you're going to order your own people ashore

00:30:47you must know that's impossible

00:30:49starfleet regulations are designed

00:30:52to circumvent any such order

00:30:56there may be over four hundred men on your ship captain but they can be brought down if it's handled properly

00:31:05say a few at a time

00:31:09you see i have the advantage of a train ship captain to tell me what is and what is not possible

00:31:17that do save us all a lot of unnecessary trouble and issue the appropriate orders

00:31:32they're going to be arriving soon

00:31:36they're going to be arriving soon anyway jim a recon party then a rescue party then another rescue party

00:31:41i had less men

00:31:44it added up the same

00:31:46do you really believe i could be made to order my own people down

00:31:50i believe this captain

00:31:53but you would do almost anything

00:31:56rather than see these two dear friends put slowly to death

00:32:01jim

00:32:10direct enterprise

00:32:16bridge

00:32:17scotty here

00:32:18scotty if you have a fix

00:32:20stand by scotty

00:32:28very wise of you captain

00:32:33i have no point in sending up bullet ridden corpses

00:32:37yet on the other hand my chief engineer is standing by for a message

00:32:42i do hope so for your sake

00:32:45now captain what are you going to order your men to do

00:32:51if i brought down a hundred of them armed with phasers

00:33:01you could probably defeat the combined armies of our entire empire

00:33:07and violate your oath regarding non-interference with other societies

00:33:14i believe you all swear you'd die

00:33:17before you'd violate that directive

00:33:21am i right

00:33:22quite correct

00:33:23must you always be so blasted honest

00:33:28but on the other hand

00:33:35why even bother to send your men down

00:33:37from what i understand

00:33:39your vessel could lay waste to the entire surface of the world

00:33:43oh

00:33:44but there's that prime directive in the way again

00:33:47can't it appear

00:33:48jim you've already started a message

00:33:53your engineer is waiting

00:33:54what are you going to do

00:33:55scotty

00:34:06sorry to keep you waiting

00:34:08we were becoming concerned captain

00:34:10you were a bit overdue

00:34:12order your officers to come down

00:34:15condition green

00:34:17all's well kirk out

00:34:18guards take them

00:34:23prepare them for the games

00:34:25ah that was stupid jim

00:34:33this is for real

00:34:34they're taking you to die

00:34:36ship's log

00:34:59guard date 404 1.2

00:35:02chief engineer scott recording

00:35:05captain kirk and his landing party have checked in

00:35:09but they have used the code term condition green

00:35:12which means they're in trouble

00:35:13but it also prohibits my taking any action

00:35:17mr. check off

00:35:23pinpoint power source locations

00:35:26type power load factors and how much our beans will have to pull to overload them

00:35:31that may take some time

00:35:33let it take time lad

00:35:35they're in trouble

00:35:39they're in trouble

00:35:39and i'm under orders not to interfere

00:35:43however

00:35:45no order

00:35:48can stop me from frightening them

00:35:52may do no good

00:35:55but it may suggest to someone just what a starship can really do

00:36:01do

00:36:03i

00:36:04good evening ladies and gentlemen live and direct from city arena and in color we bring you name the winner

00:36:23brought to you tonight by your jupiter 8 dealers from coast to coast

00:36:27in just a moment tonight's first heat

00:36:29we're in a tape commercial pro console for 40 seconds then we'll be back live

00:36:34let's go

00:36:36let's go

00:36:41let's go

00:36:45Stand by.

00:37:11Ten seconds.

00:37:12And first tonight, ladies and gentlemen, a surprise extra.

00:37:18In the far corner, a pair of highly aggressive barbarians.

00:37:21Strong, intelligent, with strange ways, and I'm sure full of a lot of surprises.

00:37:27And facing them, two favorites here from previous encounters, Achilles and Flavius.

00:37:42Victory or death?

00:37:46And for which of them?

00:37:50Well, ladies and gentlemen, you know just as much about that at this moment as I do,

00:37:54because this is your program.

00:37:56You name the winner.

00:37:58I don't mind fighting.

00:38:20Why you?

00:38:22Begin.

00:38:35Flavius may be getting off to a slow start, but he's never disappointed in this crowd here.

00:38:40There's a close one to Barbarian with a point of ear.

00:38:42Seems to be in trouble.

00:38:50I told you I'm well able to defeat you.

00:38:53Fight, Barbarian.

00:38:54Most of my men went the same way.

00:39:01I hoped I would feel it less with yours.

00:39:09I do not want to injure you.

00:39:11You bring this networked ratings down, Flavius, and we'll do a special on you.

00:39:34Question, Captain?

00:39:51The rules.

00:39:52If Sparks have finished his man off first, will he be able to help?

00:39:56We believe men should fight their own battles.

00:39:58A week will die, my word, as a Roman.

00:40:09Ready to order your men down, Captain?

00:40:20Maybe now you understand why I give in, Jim.

00:40:24The Romans have always been the strongest.

00:40:28And they've practiced for over 2,000 years in enslaving them, using them, killing them.

00:40:35Quite true, Captain Kirk.

00:40:38The games have always strengthened us.

00:40:41Death becomes a familiar pattern.

00:40:43We don't fear it as you do.

00:40:45At least defend yourself.

00:40:59I am defending myself.

00:41:01Not like that.

00:41:02Who will hold your weapon higher?

00:41:04Admit it, you find these games frightening, revolting.

00:41:19For council, in some parts of the galaxy, I have seen forms of entertainment that makes this look like a focus.

00:41:34This isn't different, Captain.

00:41:47Those are your men dying, not strangers.

00:41:50I've had to select men to die before, so that others could be saved.

00:41:56You're a clever liar, Captain Kirk.

00:41:58Maricus was a spaceship, Captain.

00:42:00I've observed him fairly.

00:42:02Your species has no such strength.

00:42:04He commands not just a spaceship pro-consul, but a starship.

00:42:10A very special vessel.

00:42:12And crew.

00:42:12I tried for this command.

00:42:16I've never seen the weapons of superiority.

00:42:19They fight no better than your men did, Maricus.

00:42:21Perhaps not as well.

00:42:39Marty, fight.

00:42:42You need any help, Doctor?

00:42:45Whatever it told you, that idea.

00:42:48Fight, you ordinary freak.

00:42:51You're coming, Buster.

00:42:53Overcompletely.

00:42:57Ridiculous.

00:42:58Illogical questions.

00:43:00I never heard in my life.

00:43:02I can't.

00:43:09I can't.

00:43:10I can't.

00:43:11I can't.

00:43:12Clear foul, pro-council.

00:43:33Your decision?

00:43:34Your opinion, Maricus.

00:43:39After all, they're like yourself.

00:43:47It's your decision, pro-consul.

00:43:50Your opinion, Captain Kirk.

00:43:52If you'd like me to kill them now, an easy death,

00:43:55then you'd gladly accept whatever happens to you.

00:44:00Take them back to their cage.

00:44:05Take them back to their cage.

00:44:12Well, it won't go that easily for them, Captain.

00:44:16Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:17Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:18Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:19Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:20Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:21Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:22Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:23Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:24Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:25Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:26Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:27Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:28Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:29Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:30Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:31Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:32Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:33Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:34Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:35Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:37Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:38Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:39Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:40Take them back to my quarters.

00:44:41I was told to wait for you.

00:45:11I provide wine, food, whatever you wish.

00:45:20I am pro-council slave Drusilla, although for this evening, for this evening I was told

00:45:30I am your slave.

00:45:35Command me.

00:45:42It won't work.

00:45:54No way.

00:45:57Whatever he has in mind, whatever tricks.

00:46:01You hear that, pro-council?

00:46:04It won't work.

00:46:07I'm not cooperating.

00:46:08I may die, but you won't get any entertainment out of it.

00:46:14We're alone.

00:46:16Please believe me.

00:46:18I've never lied to one who owns me.

00:46:21Angry, Mr. Spock, or frustrated, perhaps?

00:46:46Such emotions are foreign to me, Doctor.

00:46:53I'm merely testing the strength of the door.

00:46:57For the 15th time.

00:47:01Spock.

00:47:20Spock, uh...

00:47:30I know we've had our disagreements.

00:47:38Maybe they're jokes.

00:47:39I don't know.

00:47:40As Jim says, we're not often sure ourselves sometimes, but what I'm trying to say is...

00:47:45Doctor, I am seeking a means of escape.

00:47:48Will you please be brief?

00:47:51Well, what I'm trying to say is you saved my life in the arena.

00:47:56Yes, that's quite true.

00:48:01I'm trying to thank you, you pointed-eared hobgoblin!

00:48:06Oh, yes.

00:48:07You humans have that emotional need to express gratitude.

00:48:13You're welcome, I believe, is the correct response.

00:48:16However, Doctor, you must remember that I'm entirely motivated by logic.

00:48:25The loss of our ship's surgeon, whatever I may think of his relative skill, would mean a reduction in the efficiency of the enterprise and therefore...

00:48:33Oh, why you're not afraid to die, Spock?

00:48:37You're more afraid of living.

00:48:40Each day you stay alive is just one more day you might slip and let your human half peek out.

00:48:54That's it, isn't it?

00:48:55Insecurity.

00:48:56Why, you wouldn't know what to do with a genuine, warm, decent feeling?

00:49:13Really, Doctor?

00:49:23I know.

00:49:33I'm worried about Jim, too.

00:49:53You guys are very well.

00:49:54I know.

00:49:55I know.

00:49:56I know.

00:49:57You're not.

00:49:58You're not.

00:49:59There's a relief on people's head, Spock.

00:50:00You don't know.

00:50:01Can you stand by a friend?

00:50:02The hang.

00:50:03What are you doing?

00:50:04What are you doing?

00:50:05You're not.

00:50:06I'm worried about you.

00:50:07You're not.

00:50:08I know.

00:50:09You're not.

00:50:10I know.

00:50:11I know.

00:50:12Be true.

00:50:13You're not.

00:50:14They're not, they're not.

00:50:15They're not.

00:50:16You're not.

00:50:17They're not.

00:50:18You're not.

00:50:19You're not.

00:50:20You're not.

00:50:21At that time, you're not.

00:50:22I have been in some strange world, strange customs.

00:50:29Perhaps this is considered torture you.

00:50:31Torture? I do not understand.

00:50:36I do not wish to see you tortured in any way.

00:50:42But the first sign of pain you will tell me.

00:50:47You'll be the first to know.

00:50:52You'll be the first to know.

00:51:09Captain?

00:51:16I'm sorry I was detained.

00:51:20Should we have our little talk now?

00:51:21Well, so far on this planet, we've kept you rather dizzy.

00:51:25I don't wonder you slept through the afternoon.

00:51:35By the way, one of the communicators we took from you is missing.

00:51:40Was it my pretty Drusilla by any chance?

00:51:42Let's see if he has it.

00:51:49Not that I would have punished her.

00:51:52I would have blamed you.

00:51:55You're a Roman, Kirk, or you should have been.

00:51:58It's not of this person.

00:52:01No, for a consul.

00:52:03I am sorry I was detained.

00:52:06I trust there was nothing further you required?

00:52:09Nothing, except perhaps an explanation.

00:52:12Because you're a man, I owe you that.

00:52:19You must die shortly, and because you are a man.

00:52:27Would you leave us, Merrick?

00:52:28Because you are a man, I gave you some last hours as a man.

00:52:43Because you are a man, I gave you some last hours as a man.

00:52:55I appreciate that.

00:52:58Unfortunately, we must demonstrate that defiance is intolerable.

00:53:03Of course.

00:53:06But I've learned to respect you.

00:53:09I promise you, you will die easily, quickly.

00:53:14I thank you.

00:53:15And my friends.

00:53:17And that time comes the same, of course.

00:53:28Guards.

00:53:33Take him to the arena.

00:53:35Oh.

00:53:37We've preempted 15 minutes on the early show for you.

00:53:41In full color.

00:53:43We guarantee you a splendid audience.

00:53:49You may not understand, because you're centuries beyond anything as crude as television.

00:53:56I've heard it was...

00:53:59similar.

00:54:03Enterprise log.

00:54:09Engineer Scott reporting.

00:54:11All banks in readiness for disruption of power sources on the planet's surface.

00:54:18Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

00:54:20Before tonight's first heat, a simple execution.

00:54:24But stay tuned to this channel.

00:54:25There's a lot of excitement coming your way.

00:54:27Make it a quick, single thrust.

00:54:42Don't move.

00:54:44You'll only die harder.

00:54:46Now, Mr. Chekhov.

00:55:05Activate.

00:55:05Don't let him escape.

00:55:11Don't...

00:55:12Don't let him escape.

00:55:13Don't...

00:55:14Don't...

00:55:22Jeff.

00:55:22It's not bad.

00:55:35What happened, Jim?

00:55:37What did they do to you, Captain?

00:55:38They threw me a few curves.

00:55:40No time to explain.

00:55:44Hold it!

00:55:49Turned each other's line of fire.

00:55:50I pity you, Captain Merrick.

00:55:54But at least watch and see how men die.

00:55:57Swords only!

00:56:13Starship, lock in on this.

00:56:15Three to be pulled.

00:56:20Enterprise to Captain Kirk.

00:56:34Ready to beam up three.

00:56:35Captain's log, stardate 404.1.7.

00:56:56Note commendation engineering officer Scott.

00:56:59Despite enormous temptation and strong personal feelings, he obeyed the Prime Directive.

00:57:07His temporary blackout of the city below resulted in no interference with the society and yet saved the lives of myself and the landing party.
