00:00:003. Dr. Leonard McCoy, recording. I'm concerned about Captain Kirk. He shows indications of
00:00:06increasing tension and emotional stress. I have completed the assignment, Captain.
00:00:12A theoretical encouragement... Yes, Mr. Chekhov, I can read, and as usual,
00:00:16your theoretical evaluations. Do not tally with mine. Return to your duty, and I'll let you know
00:00:21when your work is satisfactory. Spark, full sensor scan of the reason, please.
00:00:27I did give a full report on it, sir. Yes, Mr. Spock, that was the past. I'm concerned with the
00:00:32presence. Or is it becoming too much for this crew to present me with current information?
00:00:37Yes, sir. Compliance presents no problem. Then, Mr. Spock, comply. Sensor scan to one-half parsec.
00:00:47Negative, Captain. Very well. I can find no reason for the Captain's behavior,
00:00:52except possibly that we've been on patrol too long without relief and diversion.
00:00:57He has resisted all of my attempts to run a psychological profile on him.
00:01:03Maintaining course and speed, sir. Change course. Come about to one-eight-five mark-three.
00:01:12Sir, that'll lead us directly into the Romulan neutral zone.
00:01:15Yes, very perceptive, Mr. Sudo. I know where the course change takes us.
00:01:22Execute.
00:01:24Aye, sir.
00:01:24Increasing sensor scan to one parsec.
00:01:46All scanners report clear. Nothing in our immediate vicinity.
00:01:53Better and better, Mr. Spock.
00:01:55Captain, leaving neutral zone. Now entering Romulan space.
00:02:00Very well, Mr. Sulu.
00:02:05Lieutenant, when did the order come through?
00:02:08Order?
00:02:08From Starfleet.
00:02:10The order to enter the neutral zone.
00:02:13There's been no order I know of, Mr. Scott.
00:02:18Surely the Captain could be doing this in this old authority.
00:02:21If you, too, have any complaints, you can bring them out into the open.
00:02:24What's a Klingon ship?
00:02:40Well, there couldn't be, not in this area.
00:02:42Tellman's reports, Romulans now using Klingon design.
00:02:48Sound red alert.
00:02:49Command battle stations, stand by main faces.
00:02:52Battle stations, all fans battle stations.
00:02:58Second ship has appeared.
00:03:00Correction.
00:03:09There are now three.
00:03:17We are surrounded.
00:03:30Space, a final frontier.
00:03:48These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
00:03:53Its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds.
00:03:58To seek out new life, and new civilizations.
00:04:03To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:04:07Can't go where no.
00:04:17To be upon her.
00:04:30Uh-oh.
00:04:31Boo!
00:04:32Lieutenant Uhura, code a message to Starfleet Command.
00:05:02Advise them of our situation. Include all log entries to this point.
00:05:07Mr. Spark, your sensors read clear. What happened?
00:05:11I am theory, Captain.
00:05:12Captain Kirk, I'm receiving class two signal from the Romulan vessel.
00:05:18Put it on the main viewing screen, Lieutenant, and complete that message to Starfleet Command.
00:05:21I survive.
00:05:23You have been identified as the Starship Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk, last known to be in command.
00:05:35Your information is correct. This is Captain Kirk.
00:05:38I am Sub-Commander Tal of the Romulan fleet. Your ship is surrounded, Captain. You will surrender immediately, or we will destroy you.
00:05:53They want something, or they would have destroyed us by now.
00:05:59True, Captain. That would be standard Romulan procedure.
00:06:03It's my ship they want, and very badly.
00:06:08It would be a great prize.
00:06:15Save your threats. If you board this ship, I'll blow it up. You'll gain nothing.
00:06:21Who is that beside you?
00:06:22My first officer, Commander Spock.
00:06:25Vulcan.
00:06:33Yes, Commander.
00:06:37Yes, Commander.
00:06:42No one should decide quickly to die, Captain.
00:06:46We give you one of your hours.
00:06:47If you do not surrender your ship at the end of that time, your destruction is certain.
00:06:54We will be open to communication should you wish it.
00:07:00You understand that Starfleet Command has been advised of the situation.
00:07:07A subspace message will take three weeks to read Starfleet.
00:07:13The decision is yours, Captain. One hour.
00:07:17The design of the ship is the same.
00:07:23Mr. Spock.
00:07:25You said you had a theory on why your sensors didn't pick up the new ships until they were upon us.
00:07:32I believe the Romulans have developed a cloaking device which renders our tracking sensors useless.
00:07:39If so, the Romulans could attack into Federation territory before we knew they were there.
00:07:44Before a vessel or a planet could even begin to get the defenses up.
00:07:49They caught us right enough.
00:07:51Well, that's a brilliant observation, Mr. Scott. Do you have any other helpful opinions?
00:07:56Well, we've not got many choices.
00:07:58We have three.
00:07:59We can fight and be destroyed or we can destroy the Enterprise ourselves and keep her from the Romulans or we can surrender.
00:08:12Opinions, gentlemen, if the Enterprise was taken by the Romulans, they'll know everything there is to know about a starship.
00:08:22If we had not crossed the neutral zone on your order, you would not now need our opinions to support a decision which should never have had to be made.
00:08:37Jim, you ordered us. You had no authority.
00:08:43Dismissed, Doctor.
00:08:45Jim, I said dismissed.
00:08:47Dismissed, Doctor.
00:08:59Bridge to Captain Kirk.
00:09:07Kirk here.
00:09:08The Romulan vessel is signaling again, sir.
00:09:15Put them on the screen.
00:09:16Aye, aye, sir.
00:09:21My commander wishes to speak with you, Captain Kirk.
00:09:25Put them on.
00:09:26The commander wishes to see you and your first officer aboard this vessel.
00:09:32It is felt this matter requires discussion.
00:09:36Why should we walk right into your hands?
00:09:39Two of my officers will beam aboard your vessel as exchanged hostages while you are here.
00:09:46What guarantee do we have that they'll beam aboard our ship once we're on yours?
00:09:53Granted, we do not easily trust each other, Captain.
00:09:57But you are the ones who violated our territory.
00:10:02Should it not be we who distrust your motives?
00:10:06However, we agree to simultaneous exchange.
00:10:09Give us your transporter coordinates.
00:10:19We're beaming aboard.
00:10:19One final order, Engineer Scott.
00:10:27If we do not return, the Enterprise must not be taken.
00:10:32If the Romulans attempt it, you're to fight and, if necessary, destroy yourselves.
00:10:39Is that clear?
00:10:40Perfectly clear.
00:10:50Energize.
00:11:09Captain Kirk.
00:11:26Come on.
00:11:28I'm on it.
00:11:31I don't think so.
00:11:32Well, but we have an important matter to discuss.
00:11:39And your superficial courtesies are an overture to that discussion.
00:11:48You are the first officer.
00:11:52Spock.
00:11:56I speak first with the captain.
00:11:59You may wait outside.
00:12:02The matter of trespassing to Romulan space is one of galactic import.
00:12:11A violation of treaties.
00:12:15Now I ask you simply.
00:12:18What is your mission here?
00:12:19Instrument failure caused navigational error.
00:12:24We were across the neutral zone before we realized it.
00:12:27Then we were surrounded by your ships before we could get back.
00:12:29A starship?
00:12:30One of the Starfleet's finest vessels.
00:12:36You were saying instrument failure, as radical as you suggest, went unnoticed until you were well past the neutral zone.
00:12:44Accidents can happen.
00:12:45Cut off.
00:12:45Backup systems can malfunction.
00:12:47We were due for an overhaul two months ago.
00:12:49I see.
00:12:51But you were able to navigate with this malfunction.
00:12:54The error was correct.
00:12:56But I doubt if it will clear you of espionage.
00:13:00We were not spying, Commander.
00:13:02Your language has always been most difficult for me, Captain.
00:13:06Perhaps you have another word for it.
00:13:08You're grossly mistaken.
00:13:10If you think that we were there to...
00:13:12Captain, now listen to me.
00:13:12If a Romulan vessel ventured far into Federation territory without good explanation, what would a starbase commander do?
00:13:23You see, it works both ways.
00:13:27I hardly believe you are the injured party.
00:13:35Spock, come in.
00:13:37The captain has made his statement.
00:13:56I understand.
00:13:57I must admit, some surprise on seeing you, Spock.
00:14:04We were not aware of Vulcans aboard the Enterprise.
00:14:06Starfleet is not in the habit of informing Romulans of its ship's personnel.
00:14:12Quite so.
00:14:14Yet there are certain ships.
00:14:18Certain officers that are known to us.
00:14:22Your situation appears most interesting.
00:14:25What earns Spock your special interest?
00:14:28He is a Vulcan.
00:14:31Our forebears had the same roots and origins.
00:14:35Something you wouldn't understand, Captain.
00:14:37We can appreciate the Vulcans.
00:14:41Our distant brothers.
00:14:42I have heard of Vulcan integrity and personal honor.
00:14:54There is a well-known saying, or is it a myth, that Vulcans are incapable of lying?
00:15:05It is no myth.
00:15:06I have heard of Vulcan.
00:15:08I have heard of Vulcan.
00:15:09I have heard of Vulcan.
00:15:10Then tell me truthfully now.
00:15:12By your honor, as a Vulcan, what was your mission?
00:15:18I reserve the privilege of speaking only when it will not violate my honor as a Vulcan.
00:15:30It is unworthy of a Vulcan to resort to subterfuge.
00:15:35You are being clever, Commander.
00:15:38That is unworthy of a Romulan.
00:15:41It is not a lie to keep the truth to oneself.
00:15:44Then there is a truth here that remains unspoken.
00:15:54You've been told everything.
00:15:55There's nothing else to say.
00:15:57There is Mr. Spock's unspoken truth.
00:16:00You knew of the cloaking device that we have developed.
00:16:07You deliberately violated Romulan space with a blatant spy mission by order of the Federation.
00:16:13We've been all through that, Commander.
00:16:15We have not even begun!
00:16:23There is no force that I can use
00:16:25on a Vulcan that will make him speak.
00:16:33That is a fact.
00:16:36But there are Romulan methods completely effective against humans and human weaknesses.
00:16:46You would not resort to them, Commander.
00:16:50They would prove ineffective against the Captain.
00:16:53Then they will leave him dead.
00:16:57Or what might be worse than dead.
00:17:00But I will know your unspoken truths.
00:17:05Let her rant. There's nothing to say.
00:17:07I cannot allow the Captain to be further destroyed.
00:17:10The strain of command has worn heavily upon him.
00:17:13He has not been himself for several weeks.
00:17:15That's a lie!
00:17:17As you can see, Captain Kirk is a highly sensitive and emotional person.
00:17:21I believe he has lost the capacity for rational decision.
00:17:25Shut up, Spark!
00:17:26I am betraying no secrets.
00:17:28The Commander's suspicion that Starfleet ordered the Enterprise into the neutral zone is unacceptable.
00:17:35Our rapid capture demonstrates its foolhardiness.
00:17:38You filthy liar!
00:17:40I am speaking the truth for the benefit of the Enterprise and the Federation.
00:17:46I say now, and for the record, that Captain Kirk ordered the Enterprise across the neutral zone
00:17:54on his own initiative and his craving for glory.
00:17:57I'll kill you, Mr. Tracer!
00:17:59I'll kill you!
00:18:00I'll kill you!
00:18:06He is not the same.
00:18:07Attention, Enterprise, I am speaking to you from the Romulan flagship.
00:18:16The USS Enterprise under command of Captain James T. Kirk is formally charged with the
00:18:37with espionage.
00:18:39The testimony of First Officer Spock was highly instrumental in confirming this intrusion into Romulan space
00:18:48was not an accident.
00:18:50First Officer Spock's testimony was specific that your ship was not under orders from Starfleet Command
00:18:58or the Federation Council to perform such a spy mission.
00:19:03It was Captain Kirk who was solely responsible.
00:19:08Since the crew had no choice but to obey orders, the crew will not be held responsible.
00:19:14Therefore, I am ordering Engineer Scott presently in command of the Enterprise to follow the Romulan flagship
00:19:22to our home base. You will there be processed and released to Federation Command.
00:19:30Until judgment is passed, Captain Kirk will be held in confinement.
00:19:40Security, put our two Romulan hostages in a brig.
00:19:44Lieutenant Uhura, give me a channel to that ship.
00:19:53Channel is open, Mr. Scott, and you are tied in.
00:19:58This is Lieutenant Commander Scott.
00:20:02The Enterprise takes no orders, except those of Captain Kirk.
00:20:07And we will stay right here until he returns.
00:20:12And if you make any attempt to board or commandeer the Enterprise,
00:20:17it will be blown to bits along with as many of you as we can take with us.
00:20:24You humans make a brave noise.
00:20:28There are ways to convince you of your errors.
00:20:32Did you hear that, you coward?
00:20:35You've betrayed everything of the value you ever knew.
00:20:37Did you hear the sound of human integrity?
00:20:40Take him to the security room.
00:20:42A Vulcan among humans.
00:20:57Living, working with him.
00:21:00I would think the situation would be intolerable to you.
00:21:03I am half Vulcan.
00:21:06My mother is a human.
00:21:08To whom is your allegiance, then?
00:21:09Do you call yourself Terran or Vulcan?
00:21:15Vulcan.
00:21:21How long have you been a Starfleet officer, Spock?
00:21:25Eighteen years.
00:21:27And you serve Captain Kirk.
00:21:30Do you like him?
00:21:31Do you like your shipmates?
00:21:33The question is irrelevant.
00:21:36Possibly, but you are subordinate to Captain Kirk's orders, even to his whims.
00:21:44My duty as an officer is to obey him.
00:21:50You are a superior being.
00:21:52Why do you not command?
00:21:58I do not desire a ship of my own.
00:22:01Or is it that no one has offered you, a Vulcan, that opportunity?
00:22:08Such opportunities are extremely rare.
00:22:12For someone with your capabilities and accomplishments.
00:22:17Opportunities are made.
00:22:21And will be.
00:22:23I will see to that.
00:22:25If you will stop looking on the Federation as the whole universe.
00:22:29It is not, you know.
00:22:30That thought has occasionally crossed my mind.
00:22:46You must have your own ship.
00:22:50Commander, shall we speak plainly?
00:22:52It is you who desperately need a ship.
00:22:59You want the Enterprise.
00:23:05Of course.
00:23:08It would be a great achievement for me to bring home the Enterprise intact.
00:23:14It would broaden the scope of my powers greatly.
00:23:18It would be the achievement of a lifetime.
00:23:22And it would open equal opportunities for you.
00:23:52Preach to Dr. McCoy.
00:24:00McCoy here.
00:24:01Doctor, you must beam aboard the Romulan flagship immediately.
00:24:04There's been an injury.
00:24:06I don't make house calls.
00:24:08Doctor, it's Captain Kirk.
00:24:10You'll recover, but you'll need further attention.
00:24:32Inform your superior.
00:24:33Doctor, you must be.
00:24:34Doctor, you must be.
00:24:35Doctor, you must be.
00:24:36Doctor, you must be.
00:24:37Doctor, you must be.
00:24:38Doctor, you must be.
00:24:39Doctor, you must be.
00:24:40Doctor, you must be.
00:24:41Doctor, you must be.
00:24:42Doctor, you must be.
00:24:43Doctor, you must be.
00:24:44Doctor, you must be.
00:24:45Doctor, you must be.
00:24:46Doctor, you must be.
00:24:47Doctor, you must be.
00:24:48Doctor, you must be.
00:24:49Doctor, you must be.
00:24:50Doctor, you must be.
00:24:51Doctor, you must be.
00:24:52Doctor, you must be.
00:24:53Doctor, you must be.
00:24:54Doctor, you must be.
00:24:55Doctor, you must be.
00:24:56Doctor, you must be.
00:24:57Doctor, you must be.
00:24:58Doctor, you must be.
00:24:59Doctor, you must be.
00:25:00Doctor, you must be.
00:25:01Doctor, you must be.
00:25:02Doctor, you must be.
00:25:03Doctor, you must be.
00:25:04Doctor, you must be.
00:25:05Doctor, you must be.
00:25:06We have much to discuss.
00:25:10Indeed.
00:25:16Allow me to rephrase.
00:25:22Will you join me for dinner?
00:25:26I am honored, Commander.
00:25:29Are the guards also invited?
00:25:36Mr. Spock.
00:25:53That corridor is forbidden to all but loyal Romulans.
00:26:01Of course, I shall obey your restrictions.
00:26:07I hope that one day there will be no need for you to observe any restrictions.
00:26:15It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable.
00:26:22Are you the doctor?
00:26:50McCoy, Chief Medical Officer.
00:26:57Captain Kirk's condition.
00:26:58All you can see for yourself is mentally depressed, physically weak, disoriented, displays feelings of persecution and rebellion.
00:27:09Then by your own standards of normality, this man is not fully competent.
00:27:16No, not now.
00:27:18Mr. Spock has stated that he believes the captain had no authority or order to cross the neutral zone.
00:27:28Could this mental incapacity have afflicted him earlier?
00:27:32Mr. Spock, the doctor has now confirmed your testimony as to the mental state of your captain.
00:27:46He was and is unfit to continue in command of the Enterprise.
00:27:49That duty has now fallen on you.
00:27:54Are you ready to exercise that function?
00:27:58I am ready.
00:27:59Spock, I don't believe it.
00:28:02There's no price you could pay that would make him sell out.
00:28:05The matter is not open for discussion, doctor.
00:28:08What do you mean the matter's not open for discussion?
00:28:10That's enough, doctor.
00:28:11As a physician, your duty is to save lives.
00:28:18Mr. Spock's duty is to lead the Enterprise and its crew to a safe haven.
00:28:24There is no alternative, doctor.
00:28:26The safety of the crew is now the paramount issue.
00:28:29It is misguided loyalty to resist any further.
00:28:33You'll kill him.
00:28:36I'll kill him.
00:28:39I'll kill him.
00:28:41What did you do?
00:29:00What did you do?
00:29:03I was unprepared for his attack.
00:29:06I instinctively used the Vulcan death grip.
00:29:16Your instincts are still good, Mr. Spock.
00:29:22The captain is dead.
00:29:24I'm sorry.
00:29:31£8,000.
00:29:33What did you do?
00:29:37To be.
00:29:39THE END
00:30:09I left orders that no one was to come in here he's alive alive well now that you know it you
00:30:25might as well assist me hand me the physio stimulator but he was dead their doctor
00:30:29certified he was dead Spock gave him a nerve pinch to simulate death and mr. Spock isn't a traitor
00:30:36and you knew that all the time and you didn't I didn't know it until I beamed aboard the
00:30:41Romney ship Jim and Spock were operating on the Federation orders
00:31:06my neck feels like it's been twisted off that's the Balkan death grip for you there's no such thing
00:31:20as a Balkan death grip oh but the Romulans don't know that sure fooled the doctors you took a big
00:31:28chance that they didn't start an autopsy as far as the rest of the crew is concerned I'm still dead
00:31:34why that's what this whole masquerade was about to keep the Enterprise and the Federation off the hook
00:31:43so that if anything went wrong you would be the one to blame
00:31:51bones I want you to prepare for surgery what for
00:31:58sickbay to bridge
00:32:02Scott here doctor
00:32:04mr. Scott will you report to sickbay
00:32:07sickbay I can't leave the bridge in a time like this
00:32:11you have to it's urgent
00:32:13we're surrounded by enemy vessels ready to attack us I don't know of anything more urgent than that
00:32:20well I do mr. Scott please
00:32:24all right doctor it better be important
00:32:29Scott out
00:32:31all right doctor what's so urgent
00:32:39captain kirk
00:32:53yes you look like the devil himself but as long as you're alive what's it all about
00:33:05are those Romulan officers still aboard the ship they're in the brig sir I'll need a Romulan uniform
00:33:15I
00:33:17it'll be a pleasure
00:33:21I've had special Vulcan dishes prepared for you I hope they're to your liking
00:33:44I'm very flattered commander
00:33:47there's no doubt that the cuisine aboard your vessel is far superior to that of the Enterprise
00:33:55it is indeed a very powerful recruiting inducement
00:34:05we have other inducements
00:34:08we have other inducements
00:34:12you have other identities
00:34:14and all right
00:34:15there's no doubt about that
00:34:20who was there
00:34:22you have other identities
00:34:23every day
00:34:25there's no doubt that the house would support them
00:34:26though not
00:34:27as much as we can
00:34:30we're all of them
00:34:31you can't reach the same
00:34:34of the veteran
00:34:36What the devil is Spock doing?
00:34:45What's delaying him?
00:34:48I wish I knew.
00:34:53Scotty, are you sure we have a clear channel to Spock?
00:34:56Aye, sir. No doubt of it.
00:34:58Then we can't wait any longer. Prepare to beam me aboard the flagship.
00:35:02But Mr. Spock hasn't said the proper coordinates.
00:35:04It can't be helped, Scotty.
00:35:06You're taking an awful chance, Jim.
00:35:08Just don't book me inside a ball kit. Energize.
00:35:29Centurion. I'm sorry no one...
00:35:31I have just effected an escape from the Federation vessel.
00:35:33I have important information for Sub-Commander Tall. Where is he?
00:35:36He's in control central, Centurion.
00:35:38I shall remember to mention your alertness to him. Return to your duty.
00:35:42Thank you, Centurion.
00:35:43The End
00:35:48The End
00:35:52The End
00:35:55You have nothing in Starfleet
00:36:18to which to return.
00:36:21I offer, we offer you an alternative.
00:36:37We will find a place for you, if you wish it.
00:36:45With me.
00:36:56Romulan women are not like Vulcan females.
00:37:01We are not dedicated to pure logic
00:37:06and the strility of non-emotion.
00:37:10Our people are warriors, often savage.
00:37:25But we are all so many other pleasant things.
00:37:36I was not aware of that aspect of Romulan society.
00:37:41As a Vulcan, you would study it.
00:37:50As a human, you would find ways to appreciate it.
00:37:53Please believe me.
00:38:08I do appreciate it.
00:38:12I am so glad.
00:38:21Now, one final step to make the occasion complete.
00:38:25You will lead a small party of Romulans
00:38:29aboard the Enterprise.
00:38:33And there you will take your rightful place
00:38:36as its commander.
00:38:40And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port
00:38:42with my flagship at its side.
00:38:46Yes, of course.
00:38:52But not just this moment.
00:38:57An hour from now will do
00:38:59even better.
00:39:04Will it not?
00:39:07Commander.
00:39:10Yes.
00:39:14Yes, it will.
00:39:16Mr. Spock.
00:39:22You do know I have a first name.
00:39:26I was beginning to wonder.
00:39:31I do.
00:39:34Would you like to hear it?
00:39:46How rare.
00:39:46And how beautiful.
00:39:54But so incongruous
00:39:56when spoken by a soldier.
00:39:59If you will give me a moment,
00:40:04if you will give me a moment,
00:40:08the soldier will transform herself
00:40:11into a woman.
00:40:14I am no mercy.
00:40:15Is it right?
00:40:28I do know I have a moment,
00:40:30but I'll be very happy with you.
00:40:32If you will, I am sorry.
00:40:32I am sorry.
00:40:33I am sorry.
00:40:33I am sorry.
00:40:34I am sorry.
00:40:34I am sorry.
00:40:35I am sorry.
00:40:36it's part of captain kirk kirk captain are you prepared to be mulberry i'm already on board
00:40:47do you have the information yes captain the cloaking device is in an area near the commander's
00:40:54quarters it is closely guarded and off limits to all but authorized personnel what is your present
00:41:01location sub commander tau receiving an alien transmission from within our vessel sir
00:41:08alien are you certain yes sub commander i must know the source right now sir spark
00:41:15i'll get the cloaking device will you be able to get back to the enterprise without attracting
00:41:22their attention unknown captain at present i am rather heavily
00:41:28is my attire now more appropriate mr spock
00:41:43commander your attire is not only more appropriate
00:41:50it should actually stimulate our conversation
00:41:55the
00:42:02the
00:42:06the
00:42:08the
00:42:12the
00:42:16the
00:42:20Sanjuria, have you clearance for this area?
00:42:33I do not recognize you.
00:42:34There's an intruder aboard.
00:42:36Has someone tried to gain interest there?
00:42:37I must see your authorization.
00:42:38Over there!
00:42:50It's hard to believe that I can be so moved by the touch of an alien hand.
00:43:04I must confess that I, too, am moved emotionally.
00:43:13I know it is illogical.
00:43:16Mr. Smock.
00:43:20We mustn't question what we truly feel.
00:43:29Except what is happening between us.
00:43:33Even as I do.
00:43:36Commander.
00:43:38Permission to enter.
00:43:41Not now.
00:43:44It is urgent, Commander.
00:43:50We have intercepted an alien transmission.
00:44:05Located source.
00:44:07We have, Commander.
00:44:09This room.
00:44:09The cloaking device.
00:44:24Bring him.
00:44:25Bring him.
00:44:25The cloaking device.
00:44:28The cloaking device.
00:44:29The cloaking device.
00:44:30Oh, oh, boy, what are you doing in here?
00:44:56There's an enemy spy aboard.
00:44:59He'll be after the cloaking device.
00:45:04Drop your weapon.
00:45:26Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:45:56Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:45:57Scotty, energize.
00:46:15But, sir, what about Mr. Spock?
00:46:17We'll just have to hope he can buy us enough time to get this cloaking device installed.
00:46:21Well, it'll have to be hooked into our deflector shield control.
00:46:23Can you do it?
00:46:24I don't know, sir.
00:46:25We're up 15 minutes, darling.
00:46:36Commander, the cloaking device is gone.
00:46:40Full alert.
00:46:41Search all decks.
00:46:42That will be profitless, Commander.
00:46:45That will be profitless, Commander.
00:46:50I do not believe you will find it.
00:46:53You must be mad.
00:46:54I assure you, I am quite sane.
00:47:02Why would you do this to me?
00:47:06What are you, what are you that you could do this?
00:47:10First officer of the Enterprise.
00:47:22What is your present form of execution?
00:47:35What is your present form of execution?
00:47:37Captain's log, Stardate 5027.4, Captain's log, Stardate 5027.4.
00:47:53Commander Scott has less than 15 minutes to install the Romulan's cloaking device and get it working.
00:48:08I hope Mr. Spock can buy us the time we need.
00:48:13Captain, you're alive.
00:48:15They said you've been killed, sir.
00:48:17The report was premature.
00:48:18Captain, your ears.
00:48:20What happened?
00:48:21We'll discuss it later.
00:48:23Mr. Sulu lay in a course for home.
00:48:24Mr. Cherkov, take the sensors.
00:48:26Mr. Spock is still aboard the Romulan flagship.
00:48:28I want his body readings pinpointed and isolated.
00:48:33That was not a request, gentlemen.
00:48:36Aye, sir.
00:48:37Aye, sir.
00:48:38Aye, sir.
00:48:46Return to your station, subcommander.
00:48:49The boarding action on the Enterprise will begin with my command.
00:48:53If they resist, destroy her.
00:48:58Execution of state criminals is both painful and unpleasant.
00:49:12I believe the details are unnecessary.
00:49:17The sentence will be carried out immediately after the charges have been recorded.
00:49:22I demand the right of statement first.
00:49:25You understand Romulan tradition well.
00:49:33The right is granted.
00:49:36I shall not require much time.
00:49:46No more than 20 minutes, I should say.
00:49:51It should take less time than that to find your ally who stole the cloaking device.
00:49:58You will not die alone.
00:50:00Recording the Romulan rite of statement.
00:50:09Proceed, Commander Spock.
00:50:12My crime is sabotage.
00:50:16I freely admit my guilt.
00:50:18The oath I swore as a Starfleet officer is both specific and binding.
00:50:38As long as I wear the uniform, my duty is to protect the security of the Federation.
00:50:47Clearly, your new cloaking device is a threat to that security.
00:50:53I carried out my duty.
00:50:55Everyone carries out his duty.
00:50:58You state the obvious, Spock.
00:51:00There is no regulation regarding the content of my statement.
00:51:06May I continue?
00:51:08Very well.
00:51:10Your 20 minutes is almost up.
00:51:12Just check up.
00:51:13There's only one Vulcan aboard that ship.
00:51:16He should be easy enough to locate.
00:51:18Romulans and Vulcans appear to rig almost exactly alike.
00:51:22There is just a slight difference, which...
00:51:27Put him, sir.
00:51:27Feed the coordinates to the transporter room on the double.
00:51:32Have them prepare to beam and warden my signal.
00:51:34Captain Kerr.
00:51:36Mr. Scott is on the intercom for you, sir.
00:51:39Hey, Scotty.
00:51:41I've got the device installed, but...
00:51:44Bless me if I know whether it's going to work.
00:51:46It's the biggest guess I've ever made.
00:51:48Stand by, Scotty.
00:51:49Sir, transporter room has the coordinates and is ready for beaming.
00:51:56Transporter room.
00:51:57Beam, Mr. Spock aboard.
00:52:00Beyond the historic tradition of Vulcan loyalty,
00:52:04there is also the combined Romulan-Vulcan history of obedience to...
00:52:08Transporter room reports, Mr. Spock aboard, sir,
00:52:15and the Romulan commander.
00:52:17The commander.
00:52:18Aye, sir.
00:52:19All right.
00:52:20Have them report to the bridge on the double.
00:52:22No sooner.
00:52:23Take us away from the Romulans.
00:52:27Warp factor nine.
00:52:37Sub-commander.
00:52:39The enemy vessel is moving away at extreme speed, sir.
00:52:42Alert all vessels.
00:52:44Weapons officer.
00:52:45Bring main batteries to bear on the Enterprise.
00:52:47Hold it at warp nine, sir.
00:52:56We've got a switch on that device.
00:53:00I did, sir.
00:53:02It's not working.
00:53:02I would give you credit, Captain, for getting this far.
00:53:14But you will be dead in a moment.
00:53:17And the credit would be gratuitous.
00:53:19Lieutenant, open a channel to the Romulan vessel.
00:53:22Aye, sir.
00:53:22I hope so, Commander Tal, sir.
00:53:29Establish two-way visual contact.
00:53:40We have you under our weapons enterprise.
00:53:43You cannot escape.
00:53:44Mr. Scaffron Kirk, hold your fire.
00:53:46We have your commander aboard.
00:53:48Commander?
00:53:50Destroy this vessel.
00:53:51I gave you a direct command.
00:53:53Tal!
00:53:56Helmsman.
00:53:58Flank speed.
00:53:59Weapons officer.
00:54:00Stand by to fire main batteries as soon as we reach optimum range.
00:54:06Scotty, we're running out of time.
00:54:08Captain, I'm working as fast as I can.
00:54:11You see, Captain, your effort is being wasted.
00:54:17Mr. Spike?
00:54:19Distance from the Romulan vessel?
00:54:21150,000 kilometers, Captain, and closing very rapidly.
00:54:26Stand by phasers.
00:54:30Commander, you'll forgive me if I put up a fight?
00:54:34Of course.
00:54:36It's expected.
00:54:37100,000 kilometers, they should commence firing at us within the next 12.7 seconds.
00:54:46Study.
00:54:48It's ready now, Captain, but I don't know whether our circuits can handle this alien contraption.
00:54:53Throw the switch.
00:54:59It's likely overload.
00:55:02Throw the switch.
00:55:03Weapons officer.
00:55:10Commence fire.
00:55:11Commence fire.
00:55:16Gone.
00:55:17They have the cloaking device.
00:55:20Quickly.
00:55:21Compute enemy cores from last position and open fire.
00:55:24Yes, sir.
00:55:25The cloaking device is working perfectly.
00:55:51And the commander has informed me that even the Romulan sensors cannot track a vessel so equipped.
00:55:58Thank you, Mr. Spock.
00:56:08Cancel red alert.
00:56:09We'll let you off at the nearest Federation outpost.
00:56:15You are very generous, Captain.
00:56:19If I may be taken to your brig, I will take my place as your prisoner.
00:56:25Mr. Spock will have the honor of escorting you to your quarters.
00:56:35Captain.
00:56:38Commander.
00:56:39Deck two.
00:56:58It is regrettable that you were made an unwilling passenger.
00:57:04It was not intentional.
00:57:05All the Federation wanted was the cloaking device.
00:57:11The Federation.
00:57:15And what did you want?
00:57:20It was my only interest when I boarded your vessel.
00:57:25And that's exactly all you came away with.
00:57:33You underestimate yourself, Commander.
00:57:35You realize that very soon we will learn to penetrate the cloaking device you stole.
00:57:44Obviously.
00:57:47Military secrets are the most fleeting of all.
00:57:50I hope that you and I exchanged something more permanent.
00:57:59I hope that you and I exchanged something more permanent.
00:57:59It was your choice.
00:58:13It was your choice.
00:58:13It was the only choice possible.
00:58:14It was the only choice possible.
00:58:26You would not respect any other.
00:58:30It will be our secret.
00:58:40Entering neutral zone, Captain.
00:58:43Very good, Mr. Chekhov.
00:58:45Thank you, Mr. Leslie.
00:58:47Sick bay to bridge.
00:58:48What is it, Bones?
00:58:49Well, if all the shouting's over up there, I'd like for you to report to sick bay.
00:58:55What for?
00:58:56Well, you're due in surgery.
00:58:58I'm going to bob your ears.
00:59:01Captain.
00:59:03Please go.
00:59:04Somehow, they do not look aesthetically agreeable on humans.
00:59:11Well, are you coming, Jim?
00:59:13Or do you want to go through life looking like your first officer?
00:59:17I'm on my way.
00:59:19I'm on my way.
00:59:49Well, let's go.
00:59:53THE END
01:00:23THE END
