00:00:00.
00:00:15Ready to beam down.
00:00:25Energize.
00:00:30.
00:00:37Energize.
00:00:39.
00:00:48Having trouble, gentlemen?
00:00:50I just don't understand the problem, sir.
00:00:52You're beaming cargo down to a penal colony, Mr. Berkeley.
00:00:55There's security force fields, sir.
00:00:58USS Enterprise at Atlas Colony.
00:01:00Rehab colony, come in.
00:01:02Request opening in your force field for beaming down of cargo.
00:01:05Enterprise, affirmative.
00:01:08Our security cover is now open.
00:01:10Energize.
00:01:13.
00:01:17.
00:01:19.
00:01:21.
00:01:28.
00:01:29.
00:01:30.
00:01:31.
00:01:32.
00:01:33.
00:01:36.
00:01:38.
00:01:40Oh, Mr. Berkeley, you might re-familiarize yourself
00:01:50with the manual on penal colony procedures.
00:01:53Immediately, sir.
00:01:54I think you can take the time to lock this up first.
00:01:59I'll get a vault assignment.
00:02:10I'll get a vault.
00:02:40I'll get a vault.
00:03:10I'll get a vault.
00:03:40To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:03:44I'll get a vault.
00:03:48I'll get a vault.
00:03:52I'll get a vault.

00:04:40I'll get a vault.
00:04:41I'll get a vault.
00:04:42you ever been to a penal colony since they started following his theories? A cage is a cage, Jim.
00:04:47You're behind the times, Bones. They're more like resort colonies now. Message, Captain. Switching
00:04:56to speaker. Tantalus Colony to Enterprise. We are unable to locate one of our inmates.
00:05:04This is a potentially violent case.
00:05:12Possibly hidden in the box we beamed up to you. Repeat. Unable to locate one of our inmates.
00:05:33This is a potentially violent case. Enterprise acknowledging. Standby. Security alert three.
00:05:39Security alert. Condition three. All sections go to alert condition three. We may have
00:05:48an intruder aboard. Repeat. All sections go to alert condition three.
00:05:54Shoot that boy. Repeat. You're from engineering.
00:05:59Bridge. Section C, deck 14. Captain, section C, deck 14 reporting trouble. Someone in engineering
00:06:11uniform. Security control, this is the bridge. Come in. I have the captain. Closing off deck
00:06:16section 14. Search in progress. Security alert. Condition three.
00:06:25Approach with extreme caution. Reach out.
00:06:28Approach with extreme caution. Reach out.
00:06:41Negative in the deck area, Captain. He may have gotten out. Expanding search through adjoining sections.
00:06:47Enterprise to Tantalus Colony.
00:06:49Tantalus Colony. Adams here. Dr. Adams? This is Captain Kirk. It appears we may have an inmate
00:07:00of yours aboard the ship. Transporter crewman found unconscious, Captain. Cargo case open
00:07:06and empty. Make that definite, Doctor. He's aboard.
00:07:10Terribly sorry, Captain. I take all the blame. Let me repeat. He's clever as well as extremely
00:07:17violent. Take all possible precautions. We'll keep you posted, Doctor. Kirk out.
00:07:27All sections. Security check of progress. Report.
00:07:32Overtaiser. Affirmative.
00:07:35That's the floor to the earth condition. Section at operational ready.
00:07:39Interest thing.
00:07:42The earth people glorify organized violence for 40 centuries.
00:07:45But you imprisoned those who employ it privately.
00:07:50Forward scanner to bridge.
00:07:51And of course, your people found an answer.
00:07:54Forward scanner to bridge.
00:07:55Stay on the floor three.
00:07:57You're disposed of emotion, Doctor.
00:07:58Negative.
00:08:00Where there's no emotion, there's no motive for violence.
00:08:03Capacity point zero seven close.
00:08:11Where's the captain?
00:08:17Which one of us is the captain?
00:08:20I'm Captain Kirk.
00:08:21My name is Ben Gelder.
00:08:45I want asylum.
00:08:48At gunpoint?
00:08:49I want you to promise first.
00:08:57You're worried that you won't take me back there.
00:09:00To Tantalus.
00:09:01No promises.
00:09:26Give me the weapon.
00:09:27No.
00:09:27No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:31No, I'm not going back.
00:09:34I'll disable your vessel first.
00:09:37You choose, Captain.
00:09:39I'll destroy your control panel.
00:09:41Take him to sickbay.
00:09:54Okay.
00:09:56Reverse course.
00:10:00Head back for Tantalus colony.
00:10:02Abnormal, of course.
00:10:14It's not schizophrenia.
00:10:16Tissure damage.
00:10:18Or any condition I'm acquainted with, Jim.
00:10:20And you know, after getting him here, it took almost triple dose of sedate and put him under.
00:10:24The report said he was quite talkative, but not very informative.
00:10:29He claimed one thing, then he seemed to forget, and then he started to claim something else.
00:10:34But always was just during the truth, isn't it?
00:10:40I'd sure like to study this one, Jim.
00:10:44Not our problem, Bones.
00:10:46You smart button-pushing brass head.
00:10:51Wash your hands of it.
00:10:52Is that your system?
00:10:56You're both quite sure of yourselves, aren't you?
00:10:59Quite expert.
00:11:02Take him back.
00:11:03Let someone else worry about him.
00:11:05What did you say your name was?
00:11:10My name?
00:11:14My name is...
00:11:15Simon.
00:11:26Van Gelder.
00:11:32I was the director.
00:11:34The director.
00:11:44And the...
00:11:45Tandle was calling me.
00:11:50See what I mean?
00:11:53I was a graduate of...
00:11:55Of...
00:11:56I was assistant to...
00:12:01I knew...
00:12:20I knew...
00:12:21I knew...
00:12:23But...
00:12:25They've erased...
00:12:29Erased?
00:12:31But it is...
00:12:33The justice...
00:12:36Subverted me.
00:12:40But I won't forget!
00:12:42I won't forget!
00:12:44You...
00:12:44You're so blind, ignorant.
00:12:46You believe I belong back there, don't you?
00:12:50Dead or alive!
00:12:52Well, I won't let you take me back!
00:12:55I'm not going!
00:12:56I'll die first!
00:12:59You're here!
00:13:00I'm not going!
00:13:02No!
00:13:02No!
00:13:03No!
00:13:04No!
00:13:04No!
00:13:24Estimating arrival, Pantlenus?
00:13:2657 minutes, 30 seconds, Captain.
00:13:28What's so fascinating?
00:13:34An identification tape from our ship's library...
00:13:37On Dr. Simon Van Gelder.
00:13:41Dr. Van Gelder?
00:13:43Dr. Van Gelder, Captain.
00:13:45No mistake.
00:13:46There's a full ID tape on him.
00:13:49Committed to Tandle's colony when?
00:13:51Assigned there.
00:13:53Six months ago.
00:13:54As Dr. Adams' associate.
00:13:56The ship is captured.
00:14:01Ship to surface.
00:14:03Tandle's colony.
00:14:05Any frequencies open, sir?
00:14:08USS Enterprise to Tandle's colony.
00:14:10Tandle's.
00:14:11This is Captain Kirk.
00:14:13I'd like to speak to Dr. Adams.
00:14:15Stand by, Enterprise.
00:14:17Captain Kirk, Dr. Adams here.
00:14:20Dr. Adams, regarding your escaped man...
00:14:24Is Dr. Van Gelder all right?
00:14:26And your people.
00:14:28No injuries?
00:14:30No casualties, sir.
00:14:32This man is Dr. Simon Van Gelder.
00:14:38Yes, of course.
00:14:40Your search is all right.
00:14:41We've been very concerned.
00:14:43In the violent state he's in...
00:14:45No harm to him, sir.
00:14:47We thought you might enlighten us as to his condition.
00:14:50He'd been doing some experimental work, Captain.
00:14:53An experimental beam we'd hoped might rehabilitate incorrigibles.
00:14:58Van Gelder felt he hadn't the moral right to expose another man to something he hadn't tried on his own person.
00:15:06Tragedy, Doctor.
00:15:07Jim.
00:15:09That doesn't quite ring true.
00:15:12Uh, Dr. Adams.
00:15:21Please stand by.
00:15:22Explain.
00:15:26I don't believe him.
00:15:28I can't explain it, but the more I study that patient...
00:15:33You don't believe him, and you can't explain it.
00:15:36Bones, are you aware that in the last 20 years, Dr. Adams has done more to revolutionize, to humanize prisons and the treatment of prisoners than all the rest of humanity had done in 40 centuries?
00:15:49I've been to those penal colonies since they've begun following his methods, and they're not cages anymore.
00:15:59Jim.
00:15:59They're clean, decent hospitals for sick minds.
00:16:04Jim, listen.
00:16:05Gentlemen, I suggest you ask Dr. Adams if he wants Van Gelder returned.
00:16:11Dr. Adams, regarding Van Gelder...
00:16:28Yes, Captain.
00:16:30May I inquire about your patrol destinations?
00:16:34Are you passing near any hospital facilities superior to ours?
00:16:38I'd like Van Gelder to have the best possible treatment, of course.
00:16:44Thank you, Doctor.
00:16:45I'll take it up with the ship's surgeon.
00:16:47Stand by.
00:16:50Well, Bones, you've got the ball.
00:16:52You care to recommend a better place?
00:16:55There are no superior facilities.
00:16:57He knows that.
00:16:59But that's not the question.
00:17:00If something unusual is going on down there...
00:17:03An assumption, Doctor.
00:17:04I'm required to enter any reasonable doubts into my medical law.
00:17:10That requires you to answer in your law.
00:17:18Sorry, Jim.
00:17:19Dr. Adams, this is rather embarrassing by strict interpretation of our starship regulation.
00:17:39I'm required to initiate an investigation of this so that a proper report...
00:17:47No need to apologize, Captain Kirk.
00:17:51In fact, I'd take it as a personal favor if you'd beam down and look into it yourself.
00:17:58I'm sure you realize we don't get too many visitors here.
00:18:01Oh, I, uh...
00:18:03Captain, I would appreciate it if you could come down with a minimum staff.
00:18:09We're forced to limit outside contact as much as possible.
00:18:13Affirmative, Doctor.
00:18:14I've visited rehab colonies before.
00:18:17Enterprise out.
00:18:20Find me someone in your department with psychiatric and pornography experience.
00:18:26If possible.
00:18:27Yes, sir.
00:18:51Captain's log, stardate 2715.2.
00:18:55Standard orbit, planet Tantalus-5.
00:18:59Mission, routine investigation and report.
00:19:03As per ship surgeon's medical law.
00:19:07As for my last entry,
00:19:09it seems I will get to meet Dr. Adams at last.
00:19:14However, I would have preferred other circumstances.
00:19:21Sickbay.
00:19:21Report, Doctor.
00:19:29Van Gelder's still violently agitated, Captain.
00:19:33And you'd prefer to keep me here until I complete my investigation anyway?
00:19:36I believe we should, Jim.
00:19:38Oh, I'm assigning you technical aid, Captain.
00:19:42One of our psychiatrists does have a background in rehabilitative therapy.
00:19:47Dr. Noel, standing by in the transporter room now.
00:19:52Thank you, Doctor.
00:19:53Bridge out.
00:19:54Mr. Spock.
00:19:54Ordinance, locked in, sir.
00:20:09Ready to beam down.
00:20:12Dr. Helen Ouell, Captain.
00:20:23We've met.
00:20:45Don't you remember the science lab Christmas party?
00:20:49Yes, sir, Helen.
00:20:52You dropped in?
00:20:53Yes, yes, I remember.
00:20:56Problem, Captain.
00:21:06Mr. Spock.
00:21:07You'd tell McCoy that she had better check out as the best assistant I ever had.
00:21:23Energize.
00:21:25Energize.
00:21:26In here, I presume, Doctor.
00:21:52Perhaps it would be simpler if you called me Helen, Captain, since...
00:21:57This is another time, another place, and another situation.
00:22:02Well, of course, Captain.
00:22:08Elevator.
00:22:11And it's going down quite a way.
00:22:12I wouldn't recommend it for weak hearts.
00:22:16Hello, Captain Kirk.
00:22:34And, uh...
00:22:35Dr. Helen Ouell.
00:22:37A pleasure to finally meet you, sir.
00:22:40Thank you, Captain.
00:22:41Welcome to Devil's Island, Doctor.
00:22:45Perhaps you'll call me Helen, Doctor.
00:22:47With so many titles around, we're not going to be sure who's talking to who.
00:22:51I shall indeed.
00:22:52Won't you?
00:22:54I believe regulations call for me to check my weapon.
00:22:57Oh, no, no.
00:22:57That won't be necessary in your case, Captain.
00:23:00Just, uh, keep it out of sight, hmm?
00:23:02I know you people feel as naked without a weapon as we do without, uh, a medic kit.
00:23:11A small toast.
00:23:13Do you mind?
00:23:14It's such a great day for us here on Tantalus when we have visitors, no matter what the excuse.
00:23:20Doctor.
00:23:20Oh, now, Captain, you made your apology from upstairs.
00:23:24Now, forget it.
00:23:27I don't think you'll be able to get through the security screen, Captain.
00:23:31Just a second, hmm?
00:23:34Yeah, now try it.
00:23:36Kirk to Enterprise.
00:23:37Come in.
00:23:38Enterprise.
00:23:39Spock here.
00:23:40Your landing coordinates were right on the nose, Mr. Spock.
00:23:44We arrived safely, and we're here with Dr. Adams right now.
00:23:48Kirk out.
00:23:49Affirmative, Captain.
00:23:50Enterprise out.
00:23:54Ah, Lethe.
00:23:56Come in.
00:23:59Lethe.
00:24:00This is Captain Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel.
00:24:05Lethe came to us for rehabilitation and stayed on as a therapist.
00:24:10And a very good one, too, I might add.
00:24:13I love my work.
00:24:18Go right ahead, Captain.
00:24:21Before you came here, I was another person.
00:24:26Malignant, hateful.
00:24:28May I ask what crime you committed?
00:24:31Does it matter?
00:24:34That person no longer exists?
00:24:38Um, part of our cure, if you will, Captain, is to bury the past.
00:24:44Why should a person go on living with unbearable memories if there's no necessity?
00:24:51Well, I feel quite sure that you'd concur with me in that, Dr. Helen.
00:24:55A shifting of memory patterns is basic to psychotherapy.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:04And now to the Charleston.
00:25:07You'll forgive us, Lethe.
00:25:09There you are, Captain.
00:25:10To all mankind, may we never find space so vast, planets so cold, heart and mind so empty that we cannot fill them with love and warmth.
00:25:31Quite a tour, Doctor. Very impressive.
00:25:53Wait, Bob.
00:25:58Doctor.
00:25:59Yes.
00:25:59I was afraid you'd ask about this, Captain.
00:26:09One doesn't like to talk about their personal failures, you know.
00:26:13So it's just an experiment that went wrong, I'm afraid.
00:26:16May I see it?
00:26:18Captain, if something hasn't worked out and therefore has no scientific...
00:26:21Shall we leave it up to the doctor?
00:26:24Since you brought me down here for advice, Captain...
00:26:26One of the advantages of being a captain, Doctor, is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.
00:26:32But...
00:26:33I think I'll have to award that round to the Captain, Helen, if I'd know of your weight.
00:26:38All right, let's take a look.
00:26:46I'm not a criminal.
00:26:48I do not require...
00:26:52Neural neutralizer.
00:26:59Neural neutralizer.
00:27:00Neural neutralizer.
00:27:04Can you explain that, Dr. Van Gelder?
00:27:09Neural neutralizer.
00:27:10Neural neutralizer.
00:27:11Neural neutralizer.
00:27:12Neural neutralizer.
00:27:13Neural neutralizer.
00:27:14Neural neutralizer.
00:27:15Neural neutralizer.
00:27:16Neural neutralizer.
00:27:17Neural neutralizer.
00:27:18Neural neutralizer.
00:27:19Neural neutralizer.
00:27:20Neural neutralizer.
00:27:21Neural neutralizer.
00:27:22Neural neutralizer.
00:27:23Neural neutralizer.
00:27:24Neural neutralizer.
00:27:25Neural neutralizer.
00:27:26Neural neutralizer.
00:27:27Neural neutralizer.
00:27:28Neural neutralizer.
00:27:29Neural neutralizer.
00:27:30Neural neutralizer.
00:27:31Neural neutralizer.
00:27:32Neural neutralizer.
00:27:33Neural neutralizer.
00:27:34Neural neutralizer.
00:27:35What happens there?
00:27:59A neural neutralizer. Experimental.
00:28:03Actually, we don't expect to get much use out of it at all.
00:28:07That beam from above neutralizes brain waves, relaxes the patient's mind.
00:28:15There's no harm, of course.
00:28:17And the effects are only temporary.
00:28:19One question, Doctor, if it doesn't do any good, why do we go on using it? Hmm, Captain?
00:28:25Hope.
00:28:27Yes, yes, there's always that slight chance that it might do some good in the more violent cases.
00:28:35Mm-hmm.
00:28:36Tranquilizers are fine, Captain, but to continually pump chemicals into a person's bloodstream...
00:28:41Exactly my point, Helen. Yes. Tony?
00:28:53How does it work?
00:28:55Quite simple.
00:28:57Off, on switches, and the large control here changes the strength of the brain neutralizing beam.
00:29:05Captain, you remind me of the ancient skeptic who demanded of the wise old sage to be taught all the world's wisdom while standing on one foot.
00:29:21Beam neutralizing has been experimented with on Earth, Captain.
00:29:25I'm not acquainted with this particular style of equipment.
00:29:29But I can assure you that Dr. Adams has not created a chamber of horrors here.
00:29:34I didn't mean to suggest that he had.
00:29:37The reason I asked, sir, was you haven't mentioned where Dr. Van Gelder's injury occurred.
00:29:43Right here, Captain.
00:29:45Yes.
00:29:47Simon was a very stubborn man.
00:29:50He could have sat in that room for years with the beam at that volume, or even higher.
00:29:57Or if he... he simply had someone standing by to snap it off in case he got into trouble.
00:30:03But... no.
00:30:06He tried it alone and on full body.
00:30:12That's a pity.
00:30:32You will forget all you have heard.
00:30:36To remember any portion of it.
00:30:39Any word.
00:30:41It caused you pain.
00:30:43Terrible pain.
00:30:44Growing more terrible as you fight to remember.
00:31:00Can you give us your present location, Captain?
00:31:02In Dr. Adams' study, Mr. Spock Wyatt.
00:31:05Then you're with Dr. Adams now.
00:31:06Affirmative.
00:31:07Captain.
00:31:08Van Gelder has made reference to a particular treatment room.
00:31:11The term was neural neutralizer.
00:31:15Yes, he was injured there.
00:31:16I've seen the room.
00:31:17Dr. Adams explained the mistake Van Gelder made.
00:31:18Go ahead, Mr. Spock.
00:31:19Anything further?
00:31:20No.
00:31:21No.
00:31:22No.
00:31:23No.
00:31:24No.
00:31:25No.
00:31:26No.
00:31:27No.
00:31:28No.
00:31:29No.
00:31:30No.
00:31:31No.
00:31:32No.
00:31:33No.
00:31:34No.
00:31:35No.
00:31:36No.
00:31:37No.
00:31:38No.
00:31:39No.
00:31:40No.
00:31:41No.
00:31:42No.
00:31:43No.
00:31:44No.
00:31:45No.
00:31:46No.
00:31:47No.
00:31:48Yes, Mr. Spock sounds like a very excellent second in command, Captain Kirk.
00:31:52Please tell him to go ahead and speak freely.
00:31:54I have to check in with a member of my staff anyway.
00:31:57Thank you, Dr. Adams.
00:31:58Excuse me.
00:32:00Centers by, Mr. Spock.
00:32:07Dr. Adams is left with some things to attend to. What is it, Mr. Spock?
00:32:13Van Gelder is extremely agitated, Captain, and warns that you're in danger.
00:32:19Oh, that's foolish.
00:32:21Please repeat, Captain, I didn't receive that.
00:32:23Tell McCoy the technical expert he sent along with me insists that any concern is unjustified.
00:32:32According to Adams, Van Gelder created his own problem.
00:32:38He's suffering from neural synapse damage, as if his brain were short-circuited.
00:32:44It's no wonder he's having delusions.
00:32:47McCoy here received and understood.
00:32:49But we still have some doubts up here, Captain. Can you tell us any more?
00:32:55Not really.
00:32:57When do you plan to beam back up, Captain?
00:33:02I think we'll spend the night here, Mr. Spock.
00:33:06No!
00:33:08No!
00:33:09No, no, no.
00:33:11And you will continue to check in every four hours.
00:33:17Affirmative.
00:33:18Kirk out.
00:33:19No!
00:33:21No!
00:33:22No, don't let them!
00:33:24You must warn you, Captain.
00:33:25No!
00:33:26No!
00:33:28Don't let him stay!
00:33:30Don't let him stay!
00:33:31Don't!
00:33:32No!
00:33:33No!
00:33:34Don't hype on me!
00:33:35Please, don't hype on me!
00:33:39I'll try not to fight.
00:33:43I'll try.
00:33:44But you must listen.
00:33:49I warned you, Captain.
00:33:52Dr. Adams.
00:33:52I took Dr. Adams with destroy.
00:34:03Destroy how?
00:34:05What?
00:34:11Like death.
00:34:15Enterprise log.
00:34:39First officer Spock, acting captain.
00:34:41I must now use an ancient Vulcan technique to probe into Van Gelder's tortured mind.
00:34:49Spock, if there's the slightest possibility, it might help.
00:34:53I've never used it on a human, Doctor.
00:34:56If there's any way we can look into this man's mind to see if what he's saying is real or delusion,
00:35:01they should try...
00:35:01It's a hidden personal thing to the Vulcan people.
00:35:04Part of our private lives.
00:35:08Now look, Spock.
00:35:10Jim Kirk could be in real trouble.
00:35:13Will it work or not?
00:35:15It could be dangerous.
00:35:34Do you understand?
00:35:37It requires I make pressure changes.
00:35:41Your nerves.
00:35:43Your blood vessels.
00:35:44You must open my mind.
00:35:49Let me warn you, explain to you.
00:35:55This will not affect you, Dr. McCoy.
00:35:58Only the person I touch is not hypnosis.
00:36:02I understand.
00:36:03I understand.
00:36:14Good.
00:36:33The reading's leveling.
00:36:34You will begin to feel a strange euphoria.
00:36:41You will begin to feel a strange euphoria.
00:36:41Your body floats.
00:36:43Your body floats.
00:36:44Yes.
00:36:45I began to feel it.
00:36:48I began to feel it.
00:36:53Open your mind.
00:36:55We move together.
00:36:56Our minds sharing the same thoughts.
00:37:02Good evening.
00:37:03Good evening.
00:37:28Good evening.
00:37:29Good evening.
00:37:32What did you think of the inmates we saw here this afternoon?
00:37:35You could have waited until tomorrow morning to ask me that, Captain.
00:37:39I didn't.
00:37:39Good evening.
00:37:41I thought they were happy.
00:37:42Well, I just did.
00:37:44I did.
00:37:44But a bit blank.
00:37:47Captain, if you're questioning the methods of a man like Tristan Adams...
00:37:51I'd like to see that treatment room again.
00:37:53You say you're somewhat familiar with the theory behind it?
00:37:56Yes, somewhat.
00:37:58But if you'd simply state any doubts you have to Dr. Adams...
00:38:01And if he's lying, he'll continue to lie, and I won't find out a thing.
00:38:05The only way I can be sure is to see that machine at work.
00:38:08Or is that too impractical and unscientific of me, doctor?
00:38:11Dr. Adams.
00:38:19Well?
00:38:21Coming.
00:38:25What is our name?
00:38:30Who are we?
00:38:36We are Simon Van Gelder.
00:38:39Dr. Adams.
00:38:44The neural neutralizer.
00:38:49What did he do to us?
00:38:55He can reshape any mind he chooses.
00:39:01He used it to erase our memories.
00:39:06Put his own thoughts there.
00:39:09He was surprised it took so much power.
00:39:19We fought him, remember?
00:39:21Remember?
00:39:21But we grew so tired.
00:39:26But we grew so tired.
00:39:31Our minds so blank.
00:39:34So open.
00:39:36That any thought he placed there became our thoughts.
00:39:40Our minds so empty.
00:39:43Our minds so empty.
00:39:45Like a sponge.
00:39:47Like a sponge.
00:39:48Meeting thoughts.
00:39:50Begging.
00:39:52Empty.
00:39:53Empty.
00:39:58Loneliness.
00:39:59So lonely to be sitting there empty.
00:40:04Wanting any word from him.
00:40:14Love.
00:40:16Hate.
00:40:19Yes.
00:40:19Live.
00:40:22Yes.
00:40:24Die.
00:40:25Yes.
00:40:26Such agony to be empty.
00:40:35Empty.
00:40:36Empty.
00:40:37Oh, man.
00:40:41So empty.
00:40:46So empty.
00:40:48I have no desire to damage my brain.
00:40:56Can this be handled with reasonable safety, yes or no?
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:03And will you be able to determine if that beam is harming me in the slightest?
00:41:06Yes, Captain.
00:41:08I know my profession.
00:41:29Ready?
00:41:31Mm-hmm.
00:41:31We'll try minimum intensity.
00:41:34A second or two.
00:41:36Any time you're ready, Doctor, just for a second or two.
00:41:50We already tried it for that long, Captain.
00:41:54Nothing happened.
00:41:57Something happened.
00:41:58Your face went completely blank.
00:42:00Try a harmless suggestion.
00:42:17You're hungry.
00:42:17You know, when we finally get through this, I'd like to locate and raid a kitchen somewhere.
00:42:28What?
00:42:30I put that suggestion in your mind, Captain.
00:42:34I said simply that you were hungry.
00:42:41Remarkably effective for a device that Dr. Adams was going to abandon.
00:42:45I think we should try this again.
00:42:47I think we should try this again.
00:42:49Yes.
00:42:50Pick something unusual.
00:42:51An unusual suggestion.
00:42:53Something we can both be sure of.
00:42:54At the Christmas party, we met.
00:43:08We danced.
00:43:11You talked about the stars.
00:43:13I suggest now that it happened in a different way, you swept me off my feet and carried me to your cabin.
00:43:26Merry Christmas.
00:43:28Merry Christmas.
00:43:29Captain, if you crew saw me, you'd carry me here.
00:43:33My crew is sworn to secrecy.
00:43:35But my reputation, I mean, just having met like this, of course, it would be different if you cared for me.
00:43:55It would be different if you cared for me.
00:44:02You want me to manufacture a lie?
00:44:06Wrap it up as a Christmas present for you?
00:44:12No.
00:44:14I prefer honesty.
00:44:25Now Captain Kirk is going to have a complete demonstration. I want there to be no doubts whatsoever in his mind.
00:44:50You're badly in love with Helen, Captain. You'd lie, cheat, steal for her, sacrifice your career, your reputation.
00:45:09No, Doctor, no!
00:45:15You feel it, Captain.
00:45:17You must have her or the pain grows worse. The pain they're longing for.
00:45:24Helen.
00:45:25Helen.
00:45:26Helen.
00:45:27For years you've loved her, Captain.
00:45:29For years?
00:45:30For years I've loved you.
00:45:33You must continue to remember that, Captain.
00:45:36And now she's gone.
00:45:37Helen.
00:45:38Helen.
00:45:39Helen, don't go.
00:45:40I need you, Helen.
00:45:41Now, Captain, you must take your phaser weapon and drop it on the floor.
00:46:02Captain, the pain increases unless you obey me.
00:46:17I must cut out this.
00:46:26Very good, Captain.
00:46:28Very good indeed.
00:46:30And now your community is here.
00:46:33Drop it on the floor.
00:46:35Deep open.
00:46:49Alec.
00:46:59Amen.
00:47:02Teot.
00:47:04To Enterprise.
00:47:31They've taken you from the room, Captain.
00:47:33And you're in your own quarters now.
00:47:37Ellen.
00:47:41Ellen, for years I've loved you.
00:47:46Ellen.
00:47:47Try to remember.
00:47:48I loved you.
00:47:49He placed all that in your mind.
00:47:51For years.
00:47:52Remember.
00:47:53Dr. Adams took the controls away from me.
00:47:57Do you remember the pain?
00:48:00And then his voice?
00:48:02Remember?
00:48:02Remember?
00:48:03I remember.
00:48:24I remember.
00:48:27I remember.
00:48:31Ellen.
00:48:32I remember.
00:48:33I remember.
00:48:34I remember.
00:48:35I remember.
00:48:35I remember.
00:48:36I remember.
00:48:37I remember.
00:48:38I remember.
00:48:39I remember.
00:48:40I remember.
00:48:41I remember.
00:48:42I remember.
00:48:43I remember.
00:48:44I remember.
00:48:45I remember.
00:48:46I remember.
00:48:47I remember.
00:48:48I remember.
00:48:49I remember.
00:48:50I remember.
00:48:51I remember.
00:48:52I remember.
00:48:53I remember.
00:48:54I remember.
00:48:55I remember.
00:48:56I remember.
00:48:57give me a hand

00:49:24might lead to the power supply
00:49:26short-circuited
00:49:27it would cut off the security force field
00:49:30have you had any training

00:51:47I
00:51:49Oh, my God.
00:52:19Emergency channel, Dean.
00:52:34It's no good, Mr. Spock. I can't break through the force field.
00:52:37Keep trying.
00:53:19Come back in the chair, Eli, and find that girl.
00:53:49Mr. Spock, the force fuel is gone.
00:54:19I can send you right to the source of the interruption.
00:54:21Get some security people and follow me down.
00:54:28Energize.
00:54:29Let's go.
00:54:30Let's go.
00:54:31Let's go.
00:54:32Let's go.
00:54:34Let's go.
00:54:38Let's go.
00:54:39Let's go.
00:54:40Let's go.
00:54:41Let's go.
00:54:43Let's go.
00:54:46Let's go.
00:54:54Enterprise, this is Spock. Force field has been eliminated.
00:55:24Captain, Captain.
00:55:54Are you all right?
00:56:04Yes.
00:56:05This isn't right, Captain.
00:56:09Dr. Adams did this to you.
00:56:14Dr. Adams.
00:56:17The treatment room, follow me.
00:56:27Jim!
00:56:37The power came up.
00:56:52He's dead, Captain.
00:56:54The machine wasn't on high enough to kill.
00:56:59But he was alone.
00:57:03Can you imagine the mine emptied by that thing?
00:57:11Without even a tormentor for company.
00:57:14I understand.
00:57:18Sure.
00:57:19Sure.
00:57:21Sure.
00:57:23Sure.
00:57:24All sections, security check in progress.
00:57:53Oh, Captain, there was a message from Tantalus' colony, sir.
00:58:11It was from Van Gelder.
00:58:13He thought you'd like to know the treatment room had been dismantled,
00:58:17the equipment destroyed.
00:58:18Forward phase, affirmative.
00:58:23Forward scanner to break.
00:58:25State of New York, green.
00:58:29Center in control, negative.
00:58:36It's hard to believe that a man could die of long enough.
00:58:45Not when you sat in that room.
00:58:47Take us out of orbit, Mr. Spock.
00:59:03Ahead, warp factor one.
00:59:05Acknowledge, Captain.
00:59:07Warp factor one.
00:59:08Come on.
00:59:20THE END
00:59:50THE END
01:00:20THE END
