00:01:25each time everything within range of our instruments seemed on the verge of winking out
00:01:30i want facts not poetry i have given you the facts captain the entire magnetic field in this solar

00:04:43Captain's Log Stardate 3087.6
00:04:52While investigating an uncharted planet, the Enterprise, and at least this entire quadrant
00:04:59of space, has been subjected to violent, unexplained stress and force.
00:05:06Sensors have reported the presence of a human being on the planet below who might be connected
00:05:11with the phenomenon.
00:05:13With my first officer and a security team, I have set out in search of him.
00:05:43I have set out in search of him.
00:05:48I have set out in search of him.
00:05:52I have set out in search of him.
00:05:57I have set out in search of him.
00:06:02I have set out in search of him.
00:06:07I have set out in search of him.
00:06:13Thank the heavens!
00:06:14There's still time!
00:06:15It's not too late.
00:06:17We can still stop him.
00:06:19I have set out in search of him.
00:06:24I have set out in search of him.
00:06:25I have set out in search of him.
00:06:29Nothing yet, sir.
00:06:59Report on the dilithian crystals, Captain.
00:07:03Whatever that phenomenon was, it drained almost all of our crystals completely.
00:07:07It could mean trouble.
00:07:09You have a talent for understatement, Lieutenant.
00:07:12Without full crystal power, our orbit will begin to decay in ten hours.
00:07:17Reamplify immediately.
00:07:18Aye, aye, sir.
00:07:20Any further magnetic disturbance?
00:07:22Negative, Captain.
00:07:23Scanners indicate situation normal.
00:07:25Nothing.
00:07:26Nothing.
00:07:27Illogical, an effect of such proportions, unexplainable by any established physical
00:07:36laws that I'm aware of.
00:07:40I have been able to ascertain one fact.
00:07:43Though the effect, whatever it was, was unquestionably widespread, it was strongest
00:07:49here, on the planet beneath us.
00:07:52Keep checking.
00:07:53Dread two message in one minute, Captain.
00:08:03Starfleet command.
00:08:04Code factor one, sir.
00:08:06Repeat.
00:08:07Code factor one.
00:08:10Invasion status.
00:08:12All answers to the captain.
00:08:14Battle stations.
00:08:15I repeat, battle stations.
00:08:16I repeat, battle stations.
00:08:17This is no drill.
00:08:22McCoy, Captain.
00:08:24Kirk here.
00:08:25Kirk here.
00:08:26About our patient.
00:08:27Yes, Doctor.
00:08:28Quickly.
00:08:29He'll make it.
00:08:30He'll be stiff and sore for a while, but he'll be all right.
00:08:32I'll talk to him later.
00:08:34Kirk out.
00:08:35Message ready, Captain.
00:08:38Main screen coming on.
00:08:42Kirk here.
00:08:43Enterprise standing by, Commodore.
00:08:48You're aware of the effect an hour ago.
00:08:54Yes, sir.
00:08:56You may not be aware of its scope.
00:08:59It occurred in every quadrant of the galaxy and far beyond.
00:09:03Complete disruption of normal magnetic and gravimetric fields.
00:09:08Time warp distortion.
00:09:10Possible radiation variations.
00:09:13And all of them centering in the general area which you are now patrolling.
00:09:18The question is, are these natural phenomenon?
00:09:23Or are they mechanically created?
00:09:26And if they are, by whom?
00:09:28For what purpose?
00:09:29Your guess, Captain.
00:09:31Thank you, sir.
00:09:32I've considered all the alternatives.
00:09:37My best guess is it could be a prelude to invasion.
00:09:42Exactly our consensus.
00:09:44I'm giving you the job of finding out specifically.
00:09:48Aye, aye, sir.
00:09:51Can you assign me other starships as a reserve?
00:09:55Negative.
00:09:56I'm evacuating all Starfleet units and personnel within a hundred parsecs of your position.
00:10:03It's going to be tough on you and the Enterprise, but that's the job you've drawn.
00:10:08You're on your own.
00:10:10I see.
00:10:12You mean, we're the bait.
00:10:13Good luck.
00:10:14Thank you, sir.
00:10:15Maintain alert status at all battle stations.
00:10:16Aye, aye, sir.
00:10:17From the top, Mr. Spark.
00:10:18First, the phenomenon came from the planet below.
00:10:19Secondly, the danger is apparently real and imminent.
00:10:21Third, a closer examination of the planet's surface would be in order.
00:10:23My job, sir?
00:10:24Yes.
00:10:25Meanwhile, I have a closer examination of the planet's surface.
00:10:26No matter who you think about it, sir.
00:10:27You can ask him to front down the window and go, wait.
00:10:28I see.
00:10:29You'll be there.
00:10:30The publication of the Mars is about the Mars.
00:10:33No matter who you've got to do it.
00:10:35You won't exist or comment.
00:10:36You'll be there.
00:10:37You'll be there.
00:10:38They'll be there.
00:10:39The next time you have to leave.
00:10:41I see.
00:10:42You've got to leave.
00:10:43You've got to leave.
00:10:44I see.
00:10:45You've got to leave.
00:10:46I've got to leave.
00:10:47You've got to leave.
00:10:48I've got to leave.
00:10:49You've got to leave.
00:10:50Meanwhile, I'll talk to our unexpected guest. Maybe he can provide some answers.
00:11:01That's how I came to be down there, Captain. Pursuing the Devil's own spawn.
00:11:07A thing I've chased across the universe. He's humanoid. Outside.
00:11:13But inside is a hideous murdering monster.
00:11:18I'll get him, Captain. I swear it.
00:11:25You say there's one man.
00:11:28Not man. Thing.
00:11:34Thing. Destroyed your entire civilization.
00:11:39To the last man, woman and child.
00:11:42How did you escape?
00:11:44I was inspecting the magnetic communication satellites.
00:11:51You believe me, don't you?
00:11:55Before we picked you up, our ship sustained a number of incredible effects.
00:12:01That was he. He's death. Anti-life. He lives to destroy.
00:12:08Is he the thing that attacked you?
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:15I give you my word.
00:12:17I swear it.
00:12:18I swear it.
00:12:23We don't have any other facts, any information.
00:12:28Then you'll join me in my holy cause?
00:12:32Help me in visiting justice and vengeance upon him?
00:12:35My only cause is the safety of my ship and the mission we're on.
00:12:45You'll beam down with me.
00:12:48I'll check your story out.
00:12:49Spark.
00:13:02Find anything?
00:13:04Negative, Captain.
00:13:06Anything from our guest?
00:13:08According to him, there's a creature of some sort down here, a human arm.
00:13:10Senator Uhura communicated that information.
00:13:13I ordered reconfirmation on our sensors.
00:13:16They indicate no living creature on this planet.
00:13:21I suggest, Captain, that you've been lied to.
00:13:25Captain, you yourself said there were no other explanations.
00:13:30Why do you give credence to this man?
00:13:33I fail to comprehend your indignation, sir.
00:13:36I've simply made the logical deduction that you are a liar.
00:13:43Let's have it the truth this time.
00:13:48You've come back in, is it?
00:13:50But don't stop. Here I am.
00:13:53Come at me again. We'll finish it.
00:13:55Can you identify that?
00:14:00Trying, Captain.
00:14:02Lazarus!
00:14:04You stay here.
00:14:06All personnel security red.
00:14:10Hand to hand!
00:14:12It'll do you no good!
00:14:14I'll take you to the very fires of hell!
00:14:25Hu-hu-hu-tu-x!
00:14:27We'll do you no good!
00:14:28Oh!
00:14:29Oh!

00:17:54NO POWER
00:17:55CAPTAIN
00:17:56I ONLY KNOW FOR CERTAIN
00:17:57THAT THE OCCURRENCE
00:17:58OF THE PHENOMENON
00:17:59COINCIDES
00:18:00EXACTLY

00:18:05DOCTOR MCCOY
00:18:11ASKING TO SEE YOU
00:18:12IN SICK BAY CAPTAIN
00:18:13I DON'T KNOW JIM

00:18:24WELL AS YOU KNOW
00:18:25WE BOTH BROUGHT
00:18:26LAZARUS IN HERE
00:18:27AND I TREATED A DEEP
00:18:28ABRAISION ON HIS FOREAD
00:18:29RIGHT
00:18:30AND THEN I BANJED IT
00:18:32I STEPPED INTO THIS ROOM
00:18:33FOR JUST A MOMENT
00:18:34WELL AS I HAVE A LOT OF
00:18:35THINGS TO DO
00:18:36GET TO THE POINT

00:18:44I'M A BRIGHT YOUNG MEDIC
00:18:45WITH A MIRACULOUS TOUCH
00:18:47WHY THEN WHEN I RETURNED
00:18:49THERE WASN'T A TRACE
00:18:50OF THAT WOUND
00:18:51ON HIS FOREAD
00:18:54NOT EVEN A BRULE
00:18:55IT WAS LIKE
00:18:56HE HAD NEVER BEEN INJURED
00:19:01WHERE IS HE?

00:19:27CH landing
00:19:28Is that an order, Lieutenant?
00:19:30I know what you mean.
00:19:32Reamplification finished on the diletheum crystals?
00:19:35Yeah, ready and waiting.
00:19:58THE END
00:20:28Lazarus, you all right?
00:20:48Uh, yes, uh...
00:20:52But impatient.
00:20:56Have you decided to help me yet?
00:21:02Is something wrong?
00:21:04No. I have a ship's physician with a strange sense of humor.
00:21:08No, but this is no joke, Jim. I know what I saw.
00:21:12Bridge calling the captain.
00:21:22Go.
00:21:24Request you come to the bridge, Captain.
00:21:26Something quite extraordinary.
00:21:28On my way.
00:21:29Lazarus, you with me.
00:21:30Bones?
00:21:32By a time I'd laugh.
00:21:42Main screen on, Lieutenant.
00:21:44Screen on, Lieutenant.
00:21:46Screen on, sir.
00:22:00Source of radiation, Captain.
00:22:02How is it the scanners didn't pick it up before?
00:22:08Because it is not there.
00:22:12Another riddle.
00:22:14First, Dr. McCoy, then you.
00:22:16What I mean, Captain, is that according to our usual scanning procedures, there's nothing there that could be causing that effect.
00:22:28But it is there.
00:22:30Affirmative.
00:22:32I confess I am somewhat at a loss for words.
00:22:36It may be described, though loosely and inaccurately, as a rip in our universe.
00:22:48What?
00:22:50A kind of physical warp, Captain, in which none of our established physical laws apply with any regularity.
00:22:58However, with the dilithium crystals, I was able to localize it.
00:23:02Yes.
00:23:03That's it.
00:23:06The dilithium crystals.
00:23:10Their power.
00:23:12We could do it.
00:23:14You referred to the humanoid?
00:23:16Yes.
00:23:17We've got him, Captain.
00:23:18We've got him.
00:23:19What do the crystals have to do with it?
00:23:20All they show is a point of radiation.
00:23:22That's just it.
00:23:24That's the key.
00:23:26That's the way to trap him.
00:23:28That's the solution.
00:23:31Captain.
00:23:35I beg of you.
00:23:37I plead.
00:23:39I demand.
00:23:41Give me the crystals.
00:23:43Out of the question.
00:23:44Those crystals are the very heart of the power of my ship.
00:23:49You fool.
00:23:51There won't be any ship if we don't till it.
00:23:55It'll destroy all of you.
00:23:56How?
00:23:59You tell me how.
00:24:00All I've heard from you is double talk, lies, threats, accusations that don't hold an ounce of water.
00:24:06Now you tell me, how does it present a danger to my ship?
00:24:10I warn you, Captain.
00:24:13You'll give me the crystals.
00:24:15Don't threaten me, Lazarus.
00:24:18No threat intended.
00:24:26Captain.
00:24:27Captain.
00:24:28Captain.
00:24:29Captain.
00:24:31I'll have my vengeance.
00:24:33Captain.
00:24:34Captain.
00:24:35Captain.
00:24:37Captain.
00:24:38THE END

00:25:38THE END
00:26:08THE END
00:26:12Lieutenant Masters, Captain's calling.
00:26:25Masters here.
00:26:26Lieutenant, can you prepare an experimentation
00:26:28chamber in ten minutes? All dilithium
00:26:31crystals full power.
00:26:32I'll check, sir.
00:26:52Captain,
00:26:52the chamber will be ready in ten minutes, sir.
00:26:55My assistant and I will...
00:26:57Captain!
00:26:58Captain!
00:27:00Lieutenant, what is it?
00:27:01What's wrong?
00:27:02Lieutenant!
00:27:03Lieutenant!
00:27:04Captain, security reports
00:27:05Lazarus missing.
00:27:06Captain's log,
00:27:18stardate 3088.7.
00:27:21We are no closer to finding an answer to the strange phenomenon than we were at the beginning.
00:27:27Not only have two of my crewmen been attacked,
00:27:30two of our dilithium crystals are missing.
00:27:34And without them,
00:27:36the Enterprise cannot operate at full power.
00:27:39They must be found.
00:27:42Fact.
00:27:42You said you needed the crystals.
00:27:44Fact.
00:27:45An hour after you said you must have them.
00:27:47They were missing.
00:27:49Fact.
00:27:49Two of my crewmen were attacked.
00:27:50And fact, Captain!
00:27:52I didn't take the crystals.
00:27:54I'm not the one.
00:27:58Find my enemy.
00:28:00Find the beast.
00:28:01And you'll find the crystals.
00:28:04How'd this beast get aboard my ship?
00:28:06He did.
00:28:07Isn't that enough?
00:28:08No.
00:28:09He didn't transport up.
00:28:10A report would have been made.
00:28:12I tell you,
00:28:12we're dealing with a creature capable of destroying worlds.
00:28:17Why does he need the crystals?
00:28:21For what reason?
00:28:22For the same reason that I do.
00:28:25Listen to me.
00:28:27He's humanoid.
00:28:28He can pilot a spaceship.
00:28:35He can compute formulas to destroy races.
00:28:38He can steal an energy source for his vehicle
00:28:40so he can escape from me.
00:28:48Are you deaf as well as blind?
00:28:50Sit down.
00:28:54Crystal's certainly out here.
00:28:56There's an unexplained radiation source on the planet.
00:29:00Obviously some connection.
00:29:02We'll check it out.
00:29:04Organize a search party immediately.
00:29:07Mr. Lazarus will beam down with us.
00:29:09Thank you, Captain.
00:29:12You may not have reason to thank me.
00:29:17Depending on what we find.
00:29:18What do you believe now, Captain?
00:29:26I believe the missing crystals aren't in your ship.
00:29:32Mr. Spock?
00:29:33Unable to locate the source of radiation.
00:29:36Why not?
00:29:37You had it spotted from the Enterprise.
00:29:39It has simply disappeared, Captain.
00:29:42I want every inch of this terrain checked.
00:29:46Look for footprint, movement, anything.
00:29:49Call it if you spot anything.
00:29:50Don't be afraid to use your weapons.
00:29:52The standards.
00:30:14The time didn't get on top of the ship.
00:30:15The time didn't get on top of the ships.

00:37:30What do we got, Mr. Spock?
00:37:55A magnetic effect which produces a winking out phenomenon.
00:38:00A mysterious, unidentified source of radiation on the planet.
00:38:05Lazarus, a walking powder keg.
00:38:07You're ripped in the universe, a so-called murdering humanoid.
00:38:12True, Captain.
00:38:14But more significant to me is the fact that our ship's instruments are specifically designed to locate and identify any object in our universe.
00:38:24Be it energy or matter.
00:38:25But by using those instruments, you are unable to identify the source of the radiation on the planet.
00:38:32Correct.
00:38:34Which would seem to be impossible.
00:38:38Are the instruments in order?
00:38:40Perfect working condition.
00:38:43And what you say leads, obviously, to one alternative.
00:38:47The source of radiation is not from our universe.
00:38:54Nor in our universe, Captain.
00:38:57It came from outside.
00:39:00Outside?
00:39:01Yes.
00:39:06That would explain a lot.
00:39:12Another universe.
00:39:14Perhaps in another dimension.
00:39:19Occupying the same space at the same time.
00:39:23The possible existence of a parallel universe has been scientifically conceded, Captain.
00:39:33All right.
00:39:36What would happen if...
00:39:39Another universe, say a minus universe...
00:39:45Came into contact with a positive universe, such as ours?
00:39:49Unquestionably a warp.
00:39:54A distortion of physical laws on an immense scale.
00:39:59Which is what we've been experiencing.
00:40:02The point where they come into contact.
00:40:05Couldn't that be described as a hole?
00:40:09Indeed.
00:40:12I point out that a hole in the universe, or in a simple container...
00:40:19Can either allow the contents to escape...
00:40:22Or what is outside to enter.
00:40:26The invasion of Commodore Barstow suspected.
00:40:31There has been no evidence of a large-scale invasion.
00:40:36But a small-scale invasion, that's fine.
00:40:38What is your analysis of the mental state of Lazarus?
00:40:45Difficult, Captain.
00:40:47One moment paranoid.
00:40:49The next calm, mild, rational.
00:40:52Almost as if he were...
00:40:55Two men.
00:40:58Yes, two men.
00:40:59Different, but identical.
00:41:03And a hole in the universe.
00:41:04No, not a hole.
00:41:06A door.
00:41:07Through which, these two beings are somehow enabled to pass.
00:41:15Take a look at Lazarus.
00:41:17One minute he's at the point of death.
00:41:21The next he's alive.
00:41:23Well, strong as a bull.
00:41:25The current is for it.
00:41:27First he has it.
00:41:28Then it's gone.
00:41:29Then he has it again.
00:41:30Which is physically impossible for one man.
00:41:34Quite right.
00:41:36Unquestionably, there are two of him.
00:41:39What's going on?
00:41:43This leaping from universe to universe.
00:41:48This wild talk about a murdering creature who destroys civilizations.
00:41:53What's the purpose?
00:41:56Jim, madness has no purpose.
00:41:59Or reason.
00:42:02But it may have a goal.
00:42:03Well...
00:42:03He must be stopped.
00:42:09Held.
00:42:10Destroyed if necessary.
00:42:11I don't follow you.
00:42:14Two parallel universes project this.
00:42:18One positive.
00:42:20The other negative.
00:42:21Or, more specifically, one matter.
00:42:25The other.
00:42:27Antimatter.
00:42:30Do you know what you're saying?
00:42:31Matter and antimatter have a tendency to cancel each other out.
00:42:40Violently.
00:42:42Precisely.
00:42:44Under certain conditions.
00:42:46When two identical particles of matter and antimatter meet.
00:42:53Like Lazarus.
00:42:57Identical.
00:42:58Like both Lazarus.
00:43:03Only one is matter and the other antibody.
00:43:07If they meet.
00:43:12Annihilation, Jim.
00:43:14Total, complete, absolute annihilation.
00:43:23Of everything that exists.
00:43:26Everywhere.
00:43:28There's no way.
00:43:29There's no way.
00:43:30There's no way.

00:43:40There's no way.
00:43:41There's no way.
00:43:42There's no way.
00:44:46The energizer's shooting.
00:44:50Get out of here.
00:44:51Follow me along.
00:44:52Come on, you too, Lieutenant.
00:44:53No, I've got to sleep.
00:44:54You've got to get out of here.
00:44:55The whole thing runs below.
00:44:56The engineering calling bridge.
00:45:10Fire!
00:45:12Fire!
00:45:13The energizing second.
00:45:18Fire, Captain.
00:45:20Engineering.
00:45:20Situation critical.
00:45:21All available personnel on the double.
00:45:24Spock with me.
00:45:37According.
00:45:38Under control, sir.
00:45:39But it couldn't have started by itself.
00:45:41Lazarus, a trick to get the crystal.
00:45:55Sir, you shouldn't be in here.
00:45:58Oh, I didn't know.
00:45:59Luke!
00:45:59Probably beaming down with the crystals right now.
00:46:24I'm going after them.
00:46:25When you organize a security detail, follow me as soon as you can.
00:46:30Spock the bridge.
00:46:31I'll get you now.
00:46:43I have a threshold.
00:46:47Run.
00:46:48Run.
00:46:49I'll get you now.
00:46:50I'll get you now.
00:47:01It's done.
00:47:21It's done.
00:47:21Finished.
00:47:22Finished.
00:47:23It's done.
00:47:26It's done.
00:47:29It's done.
00:47:30It's done.
00:47:31It's done.
00:47:32As we said.
00:47:34No.
00:47:35Don't.
00:47:37But you.
00:47:40No.
00:47:41No.
00:48:00No.
00:48:12No.
00:48:13THE END
00:48:43THE END
00:49:13THE END
00:49:43I wasn't expecting you.
00:49:47No.
00:49:49Him.
00:49:51Yes, him.
00:49:53You understand?
00:49:55Not completely.
00:49:58This is a parallel universe?
00:50:03Of course.
00:50:06Anti-matter?
00:50:08Here, yes.
00:50:10And if identical particles meet...
00:50:17The end of everything.
00:50:19Civilization, existence, all gone.
00:50:26I tried to stop him, Captain.
00:50:29That's why I took your dilithium crystals.
00:50:33He has two more.
00:50:37That's very bad, Captain.
00:50:40If he comes through at a time of his own choosing.
00:50:44Well, I think...
00:50:46If we hurry, and you will help me.
00:50:50He can yet still be stopped.
00:50:52There's little time left.
00:50:53He meant to come through.
00:51:07When you accidentally pass through, it drained his crystals.
00:51:11It'll take him about ten minutes to re-energize with equipment on board his ship.
00:51:17That should give us enough time.
00:51:18Exactly what did I pass through?
00:51:22That's hard to explain, Captain.
00:51:24I call it an alternative warp.
00:51:29It's sort of a negative magnetic corridor where the two parallel universes meet.
00:51:35It's sort of a safety valve.
00:51:37It keeps eternity from blowing up.
00:51:39This corridor, is it what caused the magnetic effect?
00:51:47The winking out phenomenon?
00:51:50Precisely, Captain.
00:51:52But not because of his existence.
00:51:56Because...
00:51:56Because my foe entered.
00:52:02The corridor is like a prison.
00:52:05With explosives at the door.
00:52:08Open the door, and the explosives might go off.
00:52:13Stay inside.
00:52:15And the universe is safe?
00:52:17Both universes, Captain.
00:52:22Yours and mine.
00:52:29Surely, Lazarus must realize what would happen if you should meet face to face outside the corridor.
00:52:37Of course he knows, Captain.
00:52:39But he's mad.
00:52:41You heard him.
00:52:42He's lost his mind.
00:52:43When our people found a way to slip through the warp
00:52:48and prove another universe, an identical one, existed,
00:52:54it was too much for him.
00:52:59He could not live knowing that I lived.
00:53:02He became obsessed with the idea of destroying me.
00:53:06And the fact that it meant his own destruction
00:53:08and everything else
00:53:10meant nothing to him.
00:53:13So you're the terrible thing.
00:53:18The murdering monster.
00:53:21The creature.
00:53:23Yes, Captain.
00:53:26Or he is.
00:53:28Depends on your point of view, doesn't it?
00:53:30It's ready, Captain.
00:53:39If we can force him into the corridor
00:53:41while I'm waiting for him, we can put an end to this.
00:53:46But if he comes through at a time of his own choosing
00:53:48and breaks into this universe
00:53:51to find me...
00:53:53I understand.
00:53:54What do you want me to do?
00:53:58Find him.
00:54:04Force him through his threshold
00:54:05while I'm waiting for him into the corridor.
00:54:09And I'll hold him there.
00:54:13You can't hold him forever.
00:54:15Can't I, Captain?
00:54:17You destroy his ship.
00:54:21But if I destroy his ship,
00:54:23won't yours also be destroyed?
00:54:25It will.
00:54:26And your door will be closed.
00:54:28Yes, and so will his.
00:54:32You'll be trapped inside that corridor with him forever.
00:54:36At each other's throats throughout time.
00:54:38Is it such a large price to pay
00:54:43for the safety of two universes?
00:54:54I'm ready.
00:54:58Send him to me.
00:55:01I'll be waiting.
00:55:08I'll be waiting.
00:55:38I'll be waiting.
00:55:45I'll be waiting.
00:56:08No! No!
00:56:20No! I'm not ready!
00:56:22I'm not ready!
00:56:23No!
00:56:33Take these crystals to the Enterprise.
00:56:36I must destroy that ship completely.
00:56:38What of Lazarus?
00:56:40And what of Lazarus?
00:56:54Activate facer banks.
00:56:58Facer banks activated.
00:57:00Stand by the fire.
00:57:02All the effects.
00:57:04Change the jack.
00:57:06And the house.
00:57:08The fire.
00:57:10The fire.
00:57:12The fire.
00:57:16The fire.
00:57:18These are standing by us, sir.
00:57:29Biophasors.
00:57:48All right, Mr. Lezzy, let's get out of here.
00:58:09Ahead, warp factor one.
00:58:11Warp one, sir.
00:58:11Everything's all right, Mr. Spark, for us.
00:58:20There is, of course, no escape for them, sir.
00:58:24There is, of course, no escape.
00:58:29How would it be?
00:58:34Trapped forever with a raging madman at your throat.
00:58:38Until time itself came to a stop.
00:58:41For eternity.
00:58:47How would it be?
00:58:51Captain, the universe is safe.
00:58:56For you and me.
00:59:00But what of Lazarus?
00:59:03What of Lazarus?
00:59:05The End
00:59:18THE END
00:59:48THE END
01:00:18THE END
01:00:34THE END
