00:00:00Captain, we've reached the designated position for scanning the coded directly.
00:00:09Good.
00:00:10Right.
00:00:18We've both guessed right.
00:00:21Negotiations with the Klingon Empire are on the verge of breaking down.
00:00:25Starfleet Command anticipates a surprise attack.
00:00:30We are to proceed to Organia and take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the Klingons from using it as a base.
00:00:43Strategically sound, Organia is the only class M planet in the disputed area, ideally located for use by either side.
00:00:53Organia's description, Mr. Spocker?
00:00:56Inhabited by humanoids, very peaceful, friendly people, living on a primitive level, little of intrinsic value, approximately class D minus on Richter's scale of cultures.
00:01:13Another Armenia, Belgium.
00:01:14Sir, the weak innocents always seem to be located on the natural invasion routes.
00:01:22Captain, the automatic defector scheme just popped on.
00:01:25Body approaching.
00:01:26Configurations.
00:01:26Laser banks, lock on.
00:01:42Return fire.
00:01:43The same firing rate.
00:01:55100% dispersal pattern.
00:02:00Hit him, Captain.
00:02:01He's hurt.
00:02:05Damage control.
00:02:06Report to the first officer.
00:02:07Captain.
00:02:07The other ship doesn't register.
00:02:10Only drifting debris.
00:02:13We got him.
00:02:14All hands.
00:02:15Maintain general alert.
00:02:17Hold battle stations.
00:02:19Damage report, Mr. Spocker.
00:02:21Minor, Captain.
00:02:22We were most fortunate.
00:02:24Lost damage in decks 10 and 11.
00:02:26Minor buckling in the antimatter pods.
00:02:28Casualties are light.
00:02:29Maintain surveillance, Mr. Sulu.
00:02:31No contact, Captain.
00:02:33He blew up all right.
00:02:34Well, we've been anticipating an attack.
00:02:38I'd say what we've just experienced very nearly qualifies.
00:02:41Yes, it would seem to be an unfriendly act.
00:02:45Automatic all-points relay from Starfleet Command, Captain.
00:02:49Code one.
00:02:55Well, there it is.
00:02:57War.
00:02:59We didn't want it, but we've got it.
00:03:01I'm curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.
00:03:08War or not, we've still got a job to do.
00:03:11Denying Organia to the Klingons.
00:03:13The outbreak of hostilities, that might not be easy.
00:03:16Laying a course for Organia, Mr. Sulu.
00:03:19Aye, aye, sir.
00:03:21Negotiating with the Organians will be time-consuming, Captain.
00:03:24And time is the one thing we will have the least of.
00:03:27Oh, I won't get it by talking about it, Mr. Spock.
00:03:29The trigger's been pulled.
00:03:31We better get there before the hammer falls.
00:03:34The head won't back to seven.
00:03:36Space, the final frontier.
00:03:55These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
00:04:02Its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds.
00:04:07To seek out new life and new civilizations.
00:04:12To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:04:16The ripping of Delta.
00:04:18The
00:04:31ala
00:04:34and
00:04:34the
00:04:34the
00:04:35the
00:04:35Captain's log, stardate 3198.4.
00:04:59We have reached Organia and established standard orbit.
00:05:03No signs of hostile activities in this area.
00:05:07Captain, unit XY75847 report a fleet of Klingon ships in their sectors.
00:05:15What bearing?
00:05:16Unable to ascertain, sir.
00:05:18Mr. Sulu, have the phaser crews stand by their positions.
00:05:21Full power deflector screens.
00:05:23Yes, sir.
00:05:25Mr. Spock and I are going down to the planet's surface.
00:05:29You will be in command.
00:05:30Your responsibility is to the Enterprise, not to us.
00:05:33Is that clear?
00:05:34Perfectly, sir.
00:05:35The Klingon fleet is in this quadrant.
00:05:38We know that Organia will be a target.
00:05:41If they should emerge...
00:05:42We'll handle them, sir.
00:05:44You will evaluate the situation.
00:05:47If there is a fleet of them, you'll get out of here, Mr. Sulu.
00:05:52But, uh, Captain...
00:05:53No buts.
00:05:54You'll get to safety and alert the fleet.
00:05:57You will not attack alone.
00:05:59Mr. Spock and I will be all right.
00:06:06Mr. Spock.
00:06:07That's you and I, pay the Organians a visit.
00:06:22You think they had people beaming down every day?
00:06:36day. Yes. Curious lack of interest. Notice the ruins in the distance, Captain. Quite
00:06:48large. Yes. A fortress, perhaps. A castle. Whatever it is, it would seem to be inconsistent
00:06:54with the reports we've been given on this culture. Welcome. Reception committee? Seems
00:07:05so. You are our visitors. Welcome. Welcome. I am Aelborn. I am Captain James T. Kirk of
00:07:25the Starship Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets. This is my first
00:07:31officer, Mr. Spock. You are most welcome, my friend. I would like to speak to someone
00:07:38in authority. We don't have anybody in authority. But I am the chairman of the Council of Elders.
00:07:47Perhaps I would do. You people are in great danger. Is there someplace we can go and talk?
00:07:53Oh, yes. Our council chambers are nearby. Please.
00:08:01Captain. If you don't mind, I should like to wonder about the village and make some studies.
00:08:15Of course, my friend. Our village is yours. Captain.
00:08:20Captain.
00:08:20Gentlemen, my government has informed me that the Klingons are expected to move against
00:08:42your planet with the objective of making it a base of operation against the Federation. My mission,
00:08:50frankly, is to keep them from doing it.
00:08:55What you're saying, Captain, is that we seem to have a choice between
00:08:59dealing with you or your enemies.
00:09:02No, sir.
00:09:04With the Federation, you have a choice. You have none with the Klingons. The Klingons are a military
00:09:09dictatorship. War is their way of life. Life under the Klingon rule would be very unpleasant.
00:09:20We offer you protection.
00:09:23We thank you for your altruistic offer, Captain. But we really do not need your protection.
00:09:31We are a simple people, Captain. We have nothing that anybody could want.
00:09:35We have this planet and its strategic location. I assure you that if you don't take action
00:09:43to prevent it, the Klingons will move against you just as surely as your sun rises.
00:09:49We will help you build defenses, build facilities.
00:09:54We have no defenses, Captain, nor are any needed.
00:09:57Gentlemen, I have seen what the Klingons do to planets like yours.
00:10:09They are organized into vast slave labor camps.
00:10:14No freedoms whatsoever. Your goods will be confiscated.
00:10:18Hostages taken and killed. Your leaders confined.
00:10:22We will be far better off on a penal planet. Infinitely better off.
00:10:27Captain, we see that your concern is genuine.
00:10:31And we are moved.
00:10:32But again, we assure you that we are in absolutely no danger.
00:10:37If anybody is in danger, you are.
00:10:40And that concerns us greatly.
00:10:42It would be better if you returned to your ship as soon as possible.
00:10:46You keep insisting that there's no danger.
00:10:48I keep assuring you that there is. Would you mind telling me?
00:10:51It is our way of life, Captain.
00:10:53That's the first thing that would be lost.
00:10:59Excuse me, fellow I'm not.
00:11:03I'm a soldier, not a diplomat.
00:11:05I can only tell you the truth.
00:11:11If you will excuse us, Captain, we will discuss your kind offer.
00:11:16Yes, certainly.
00:11:17Captain, our information on these people and their culture was not correct.
00:11:37This is not a primitive society making progress toward mechanization.
00:11:41They are totally stagnant.
00:11:44There is no evidence of any progress as far back as my tricorder can register.
00:11:49It doesn't seem likely.
00:11:50Nevertheless, it is true.
00:11:52For tens of thousands of years, there has been absolutely no advancement,
00:11:57no significant change in their physical environment.
00:12:00This is a laboratory specimen of an arrested culture.
00:12:04Thank you, Mr. Splurk.
00:12:06That might be useful.
00:12:12We have discussed your offer, Captain, and our opinion is unchanged.
00:12:18We are in no danger.
00:12:20We thank you for your kind offer of assistance, although we must decline it.
00:12:24And we strongly recommend that you leave Organia before you yourselves are endangered.
00:12:30Gentlemen, I must get you to reconsider.
00:12:32We can be of immense help to you.
00:12:35In addition to military aid, we can send you specialists, technicians.
00:12:41We can show you how to feed a thousand people where one was fed before.
00:12:45We can help you build schools, educate the young in the latest technological and scientific skills.
00:12:51Your public facilities are almost non-existent.
00:12:56We can help you remake your world.
00:13:00End disease, hunger, hardship.
00:13:04All we ask in return is that you let us help you.
00:13:08Now.
00:13:16Captain, I can see that you do not understand us.
00:13:19Perhaps...
00:13:20Excuse me, sir.
00:13:22Kirk here.
00:13:23Captain, a large number of Klingon vessels have just arrived.
00:13:28You're opening fire.
00:13:30Positive identification.
00:13:32Yes, sir.
00:13:33My screens are up.
00:13:34I can't drop them to beam your board.
00:13:36Mr. Sulu, follow your orders.
00:13:39Get out of here.
00:13:40Contact the fleet.
00:13:41Return if the odds are more equal.
00:13:43Kirk out.
00:13:44Gentlemen, you kept insisting that there was no danger.
00:13:47I hope this proves it.
00:13:47That is correct, Captain.
00:13:48There is no danger.
00:13:49Of all eight space vehicles have assumed orbit around our planet.
00:13:55They are activating their material transmission units.
00:13:58Thank you, sir.
00:13:59Thank you, sir.
00:13:59Thank you, sir.
00:13:59Thank you, sir.
00:14:00Thank you, sir.
00:14:00Thank you, sir.
00:14:00Thank you, sir.
00:14:00Thank you, sir.
00:14:01Thank you, sir.
00:14:01Can you verify that?
00:14:03Negative, Captain.
00:14:05But it seems a logical development.
00:14:06Captain, since it is too late for you to escape, perhaps we should do something about protecting
00:14:12you, if you, if you had listened to me, we must be sure that you are not harmed.
00:14:18Airborne.
00:14:20Several hundred men have appeared near the citadel.
00:14:23They bring many weapons.
00:14:25How does he know that?
00:14:29Oh, our friend Trefane is really quite intuitive.
00:14:33You can rest assured that what he says is absolutely correct.
00:14:37So, we're stranded here in the middle of a Klingon occupation army.
00:14:48So it would seem not a very pleasant prospect.
00:14:52You have a gift for understatement, Mr. Spock.
00:14:54It's not a very pleasant prospect at all.
00:14:57Captain's log, stardate 3201.7.
00:15:08Mr. Spock and I are trapped on the planet Organia, which is in the process of being occupied
00:15:13by the forces of the Klingon Empire.
00:15:16The Organians have provided us with native clothing in the hopes that we may be taken
00:15:21for Organians.
00:15:22Definitely.
00:15:23Our phases are gone.
00:15:27Did you take them?
00:15:28Yes, Captain.
00:15:29I took them.
00:15:31I must ask you to return them.
00:15:33I'm sorry, Captain.
00:15:34I cannot do that.
00:15:36Were you armed, you might be tempted to use violence, and that we cannot permit.
00:15:41You, Captain, will pass as an Organian, and Mr. Spock...
00:15:47Mr. Spock presents a problem.
00:15:50He does not look like an Organian.
00:15:53A Vulcan trader, perhaps.
00:15:55A dealer in Kivas and Trillium, harmless to the Klingons.
00:16:01They know that Vulcan is a member of the Federation.
00:16:04Vulcan merchants are not uncommon, Captain.
00:16:08It is a practical approach.
00:16:11What about the rest of you?
00:16:12We shall continue as before.
00:16:15We have nothing to fear.
00:16:17You have a lot to learn, sir.
00:16:23And if I know the Klingons, you'll be learning it the hard way.
00:16:28This is the ruling council.
00:16:48I am Elbor, temporary head of the council.
00:16:54I bid you welcome.
00:16:55No doubt you do.
00:16:58I am Kur, military governor of Organia.
00:17:07Who are you?
00:17:07Oh, he is Barona, one of our leading citizens.
00:17:12And he has no tongue?
00:17:15I have a tongue.
00:17:18Good.
00:17:21You will be taught how to use it.
00:17:24Where is your smile?
00:17:30Now what?
00:17:32The stupid, idiotic smile everyone else seems to be wearing.
00:17:41A Vulcan.
00:17:42Do you also have a tongue?
00:17:51I am Spock.
00:17:53A dealer in Kivas and Trillium.
00:17:56You do not look like a storekeeper.
00:18:01Take this man.
00:18:02Vulcans are members of the Federation.
00:18:04He may be a spy.
00:18:06He is no spy.
00:18:11Well.
00:18:12Have we a ram among the sheep?
00:18:18You object to us taking him?
00:18:20He's done nothing.
00:18:22Nothing at all.
00:18:24Coming from an Organian, yours is practically an act of rebellion.
00:18:31Very good.
00:18:33So you welcome me.
00:18:36You also welcome me.
00:18:41You're here.
00:18:41There's nothing I can do, Bob.
00:18:46Good and honest hatred.
00:18:52Very refreshing.
00:18:53However, it makes no difference whether you welcome me or not.
00:19:00I am here and I will stay.
00:19:03You are now subjects of the Klingon Empire.
00:19:07You will find there are many rules and regulations.
00:19:09They will be posted.
00:19:10Violation of the smallest of them will be punished by death.
00:19:18We shall obey your regulations, Commander.
00:19:21You disapprove, Barona.
00:19:27You need my approval.
00:19:29I need your obedience.
00:19:34Nothing more.
00:19:37Will I have it?
00:19:39You seem to be in command.
00:19:46Yes.
00:19:48I am.
00:19:50I shall need a representative from among you.
00:19:55Liaison between the forces of the occupation and the civil population.
00:19:59Smile and smile and smile.
00:20:06I don't trust men who smile too much.
00:20:12You, Barona, you're the man.
00:20:19Me?
00:20:20I don't want the job.
00:20:21Have I asked whether or not you want it?
00:20:24We Klingons have a reputation for ruthlessness.
00:20:32You will find that it is deserved.
00:20:36Should one Klingon soldier be killed,
00:20:40a thousand Organiums will die.
00:20:45I will have order.
00:20:48Is that clear?
00:20:50Commander, I assure you,
00:20:52our people want nothing but peace.
00:20:55We shall cause you no trouble.
00:20:59I am sure you will not.
00:21:03Take the Vulcan to the examination room.
00:21:06You, come with me.
00:21:07I will familiarize you with your new duties.
00:21:10What about Mr. Spock?
00:21:12You are concerned.
00:21:13He is my friend.
00:21:15You have a poor choice of friends.
00:21:19He will be examined.
00:21:20If he is lying, he will die.
00:21:23If he is telling the truth,
00:21:25he will find that business has taken a turn for the worse.
00:21:32Take him.
00:21:32You do not like to be pushed.
00:21:49Very good.
00:21:51You may be a man I can deal with, Barona.
00:21:58Come with me.
00:21:59Come with me.
00:22:00Come with me.
00:22:00Come with me.
00:22:02From this day on, no public assemblages of more than three people.
00:22:25All publications to be cleared through this office.
00:22:29Neighborhood controls will be established.
00:22:32Hostages selected.
00:22:34A somewhat lengthy list of crimes against the state.
00:22:43You do not like them?
00:22:44Well?
00:22:51He is what he claims to be, Commander.
00:22:55A Volcanian merchant named Spock.
00:22:58His main concern seems to be how he will carry out his business under our occupation.
00:23:03Nothing else?
00:23:04The usual.
00:23:05A certain amount of apprehension regarding us.
00:23:07The mind is remarkably disciplined.
00:23:08You are sure?
00:23:09I used Force Four, which is sufficient to break down any pretense.
00:23:12us mind is remarkably disciplined you're sure i used force four which is sufficient to break down
00:23:23any pretense very well lieutenant would you like to try our little truth finder
00:23:32i don't understand it it's a mind sifter or mind ripper depending on how much force is used
00:23:43we can record every thought every bit of knowledge in a man's mind
00:23:50of course when that much force is used the mind is emptied permanently i'm afraid what's left is more
00:24:01vegetable than human and you're proud of it it is a tool a weapon somewhat drastic but
00:24:13very efficient are you sure you're all right perfectly baroner but it was an interesting
00:24:23experience all right vulcan you may go but you are an enemy alien you will be under our scrutiny at
00:24:32all times if i have to warn you not necessary commander i understand you very well
00:24:43return to your council barona you will receive our official notifications as soon as they are
00:24:57published in the meantime keep the people in order it is your responsibility
00:25:07or i will be killed that is exactly right
00:25:15that mind sifter can't be all the terror they think it is it should not be underestimated
00:25:28captain it reaches directly into the mind we vulcans have certain mental
00:25:36certain disciplines which enable me to maintain a shield without those disciplines there would be
00:25:42no protection i'll try and avoid it out of the way organian i'm sorry sir we did not notice you next time keep your eyes open or i'll shut them permanently
00:25:56captain i strongly suggest we direct our energies toward the immediate problem accomplishing our mission
00:26:02here you didn't really think i was going to beat his head in did you i thought you might
00:26:07you're right but as you say we still have a job to do we'll receive no help from the organians maybe but
00:26:19sooner or later they're going to start resenting how the klingons run things if we could prove to them
00:26:25they could do something to strike back to keep the klingons off balance verbal persuasion seems to be
00:26:32ineffective perhaps a more direct approach that's exactly what i had in mind mr spark did i or did i not
00:26:42see something that looked like a munitions dump outside of course headquarters you did i think it's
00:26:49time we did a little simple and plain communicating tonight a very meritorious idea captain we're short of
00:26:58tools i'm certain the klingons will provide whatever is necessary it's a pleasure doing business with you mr spark
00:27:28okay so far sonic grenade with a delayed action fuse good
00:27:58okay
00:28:00these crates contain chemical explosives they should make a more satisfactory display
00:28:07six five four three
00:28:28you were right mr spark a most satisfactory display of course we blew it up deliberately
00:28:41but that was violence we did it to show that you could fight back that you don't have to be sheep you
00:28:46can be wolves terrible
00:28:48terrible to destroy
00:28:53history is full of examples of civil populations fighting back successfully against a military dictatorship
00:28:59we may not be able to destroy the klingons but we can tie them up
00:29:03blow up their installations disrupt their communications make organia useless to them
00:29:10our fleet will eventually arrive in the meantime the battle is ours it can be a successful one
00:29:18captain i implore you never to do such a thing again
00:29:22why are you afraid of retribution does your personal freedom means so little to you
00:29:30how little you understand us captain all i understand is that you apparently don't have
00:29:35the backbone to stand up and fight and protect the ones you love
00:29:40speak of courage jenny does courage means so little to you
00:29:48you speak of courage obviously you do not know the difference between courage
00:30:02courage and foolhardiness
00:30:12always it is the brave ones who die the soldiers
00:30:18i hope you will continue to savor the sweetness of your life
00:30:24you disgust me what are you going to do with him commander what is always done with spies and
00:30:33saboteurs he will be killed after he has had first-hand experience of our mind scanner
00:30:44there is no need to use your machine on him commander i can tell you his name
00:30:48it is captain james t kirk
00:31:01captain of the uss enterprise a starship commander
00:31:09and his first officer
00:31:16i had hoped to meet you in battle but
00:31:20some reason he feels that he must destroy you commander just as you feel you must destroy him
00:31:29that's going to be rather difficult now
00:31:31isn't it captain
00:31:47what an admirable people
00:31:51do you always betray your friends
00:31:54yes i didn't want you to harm him
00:31:58i'm sorry captain
00:32:00it was for the best
00:32:01no harm would come of it
00:32:03i'm used to the idea of dying
00:32:08well i have no desire to die for the likes of you
00:32:13i don't blame you captain
00:32:17lock up the vulcan
00:32:20take the captain to my office
00:32:22yes we'll have a talk
00:32:27before i do what
00:32:32must be done
00:32:47you'll have a drink with me captain
00:32:49no thank you
00:32:52i assure you it isn't drugged
00:32:55with our mind scanner we have no need for such crude methods
00:33:00what do you want from me
00:33:02oh a very great deal
00:33:05but first i want to talk
00:33:07just talk
00:33:10do you think i'm going to sit here and just talk with the enemy
00:33:14you'll talk
00:33:16you'll talk
00:33:17either here
00:33:19now voluntarily or
00:33:22under our mind scanner
00:33:26the fact is captain i have a great admiration for your star fleet
00:33:31a remarkable instrument
00:33:33and i must confess to a certain admiration for you
00:33:38i know of course that it was you who destroyed our supplies last night
00:33:43something was destroyed
00:33:46nothing inconsequential i hope
00:33:51hardly they were quite important to us but they can be replaced
00:33:55you of the federation you are much like us we're nothing like you
00:34:05we're a democratic body
00:34:07come now captain i'm not referring to minor ideological differences
00:34:11i mean that we are similar as a species
00:34:16here we are on a planet of sheep
00:34:20two tigers
00:34:22predators
00:34:23hunters
00:34:26killers
00:34:28and it is precisely that which makes us great
00:34:33and there is a universe to be taken
00:34:36it's a very large universe commander full of people who don't like the klingon
00:34:43excellent
00:34:45then it should be a matter of testing each other's wills
00:34:48and power
00:34:50survival must be earned captain
00:34:56tell me about the dispersal of your star fleet
00:34:59go climb a tree
00:35:09i can get what i want through our mind scanner but
00:35:13there would be very little of your mind left captain
00:35:16i have no desire to see you become a vegetable
00:35:23this friend of yours the vulcan
00:35:27he seems to have the ability to block our scanner
00:35:30i think perhaps i will find out why
00:35:35i will have him dissected
00:35:38your friend killed
00:35:40you a mental vegetable
00:35:43not a pleasant prospect captain
00:35:46but it lies ahead for you unless you tell me everything i want to know
00:35:51it will take a lot longer than that
00:36:11longer than that i will not wait
00:36:15i respect you captain but
00:36:16this is war
00:36:21a game we klingons play to win
00:36:28take him to the cell with his friend
00:36:37and watch him closely
00:36:46there
00:36:56no way
00:37:09okay
00:37:16How much of the 12 hours do we have now?
00:37:21Six hours, 43 minutes, if the Klingon is punctual.
00:37:25I think we can count them to be punctual.
00:37:28Blowing up munitions dump wasn't enough.
00:37:30We get out of here.
00:37:32We've got to carry the attack directly to Kul.
00:37:37These Organians, they do not seem to understand.
00:37:42Most peculiar.
00:37:43Nevertheless, our orders still stand.
00:37:46We've got to make some attempt to neutralize the Klingon occupation.
00:37:52You may not get the chance, Captain.
00:37:55These walls are very thick.
00:37:58And there are guards every few feet down the hall.
00:38:01Oh, there you are, Jed.
00:38:22I trust you are in good health.
00:38:26Shall we go?
00:38:28Go?
00:38:30Yes, your captors planned to do violence to you.
00:38:33But we cannot permit you.
00:38:35I came to take you away.
00:38:38You turned us over.
00:38:40Do you expect us to trust you now?
00:38:45Is there really a choice, Captain?
00:38:46I'll offer you safety.
00:39:00We can't stay here.
00:39:01This is the first place they'll look.
00:39:03You will not come here, Captain.
00:39:04You may believe me.
00:39:05First, you turn us in, then you get us out.
00:39:09What are you doing now?
00:39:10Waiting for the Klingons to post a reward so you can turn us in again and collect it?
00:39:14How little do you understand us, Captain.
00:39:16Nor do we understand what happened to the guards at the Citadel.
00:39:20Please do not concern yourself about them.
00:39:23What happened to them?
00:39:23Why, nothing happened to them, Captain.
00:39:28Nothing at all.
00:39:33Commander.
00:39:35Don't you see I'm busy?
00:39:37The two Federation prisoners, they're gone.
00:39:43You mean they've escaped?
00:39:45I swear, no one was at fault.
00:39:47The guards, ten of them, were constantly on duty watching the cell.
00:39:51Then when they opened it to give them food, they simply weren't there, and there was no way out.
00:39:58If you're lying to me...
00:40:00I swear.
00:40:06All right, Lieutenant.
00:40:10Implement Special Occupation Order Number Four.
00:40:14Immediately.
00:40:15Sir.
00:40:21Is that all you can do?
00:40:24Smile?
00:40:25You are free, Captain.
00:40:26I don't know how I'm free.
00:40:28And why?
00:40:29Indeed.
00:40:30There are several questions I would like to ask as well.
00:40:32This idiotic placidity of yours, your refusal to do anything to protect yourselves.
00:40:37We have already answered that question.
00:40:39To us, violence is unthinkable.
00:40:43Attention.
00:40:43Attention.
00:40:44Attention, all Organians.
00:40:46Attention.
00:40:48This is Commander Kaur.
00:40:50The two Federation prisoners have escaped.
00:40:55Obviously, with outside aid.
00:40:58They will be returned immediately.
00:41:02So that you will know we mean what we say.
00:41:08Listen.
00:41:09Listen.
00:41:13There's a Klingon phasers.
00:41:15Take the door.
00:41:15Get down, gentlemen.
00:41:22In the courtyard of my headquarters, 200 Organians have just been killed.
00:41:33200 of them.
00:41:35In two hours, 200 more will die.
00:41:41And 200 more after that.
00:41:45Until the two Federation spies are turned over to us.
00:41:51This is the Order of Kaur.
00:42:05Did you hear them?
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:07Of course, Captain.
00:42:09But nothing has changed.
00:42:14Well, Mr. Spark.
00:42:18It seems it's up to you and me.
00:42:21It would appear so, Captain.
00:42:24The Federation has invested a great deal of money in our training.
00:42:27They're about due for a small return.
00:42:29We have two hours with which to do with it.
00:42:31But only two.
00:42:33More Organians will die.
00:42:34No, Mr. Spark.
00:42:35No more will die on account of us.
00:42:38Where are those faces?
00:42:40I cannot tell you.
00:42:49You've told us a great deal about how you hate violence.
00:42:53Unless you tell me where those faces are, you're going to have more violence than you know what to do with.
00:42:58You mean you would actually use force?
00:43:01It's entirely up to you.
00:43:02Hell, Bob.
00:43:04This is of no matter.
00:43:06Perhaps you better let him have what he wants.
00:43:08He...
00:43:08Very well, but it will do you no good.
00:43:13They are in that cabinet.
00:43:14Gentlemen, I have no great love for you, your planet, your culture.
00:43:29Despite that, Mr. Spark and I are going to go out there and quite probably die.
00:43:35In an attempt to show you that there are some things worth dying for.
00:43:44There are only two of you against an army.
00:43:47Don't you realize that what you intend to do will be hopeless?
00:43:55Come on, Mr. Spark, let's get out of here.
00:43:56Great men.
00:44:08It has been so foolish.
00:44:11Interesting, however.
00:44:13Of course, we cannot allow it.
00:44:17To stop them is very bad.
00:44:20It is necessary.
00:44:22They may harm one another.
00:44:24Fain.
00:44:25We will wait until darkness.
00:44:28Then?
00:44:29Tenable, inconceivable savage.
00:44:33We will wait.
00:44:34Mr. Spark, come and get those two guards.
00:44:47What would you say the odds are in our getting out of here?
00:44:50Difficult to be precise, Captain.
00:44:52I should say approximately 7,824.7 to 1.
00:45:00Difficult to be precise?
00:45:027,824 to 1?
00:45:047,824.7 to 1.
00:45:09That's a pretty close approximation.
00:45:11I endeavor to be accurate.
00:45:13You do quite well.
00:45:15Set your face or unstunk.
00:45:17We're after the top dog, not the members of the pack.
00:45:21Very good.
00:45:22But if the situation calls for it, we kill.
00:45:25Is that clear?
00:45:25Clear, Captain.
00:45:28I'll take the one on the left.
00:45:31Fire.
00:45:34It has begun.
00:45:54Very well.
00:45:55Be hard.
00:45:56Prepare yourselves.
00:45:57No results, Commander.
00:46:10Nothing.
00:46:12I cannot understand these people.
00:46:14They know what death is, don't they?
00:46:16They do not seem to be worried about anything.
00:46:19Bad enough to be a military governor, but to govern a population of sheep.
00:46:23Very well, Lieutenant.
00:46:26Round up 200 more.
00:46:28Yes, sir.
00:46:29Fools!
00:46:30Will I have to kill them all?
00:46:31If you don't tell me what I want to know, I'll kill your ear and mouth in there.
00:46:57Yes.
00:46:58Yes, sir.
00:46:59There's a chorus of authors down there.
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:06What about the hostages?
00:47:09Talk.
00:47:10Talk.
00:47:11I'm to gather 200 more.
00:47:16To be killed?
00:47:20Yes.
00:47:20Yes, sir.
00:47:20Yes, sir.
00:47:21Yes, sir.
00:47:25Yes, sir.
00:47:26Yes, sir.
00:47:26Yes, sir.
00:47:27Yes, sir.
00:47:28Yes, sir.
00:47:29Well, what are the odds now?
00:47:34Less than 7,000 to 1, Captain.
00:47:36It's remarkable we've gotten this far.
00:47:38Less than 7,000 to 1.
00:47:40Well, getting better.
00:47:43Getting better.
00:47:43You have done well to get this far through my guards.
00:47:57You have done well to get this far through my guards.
00:48:00I believe you'll find that several of them are no longer in perfect operating condition.
00:48:06Hmm.
00:48:07So, you are here.
00:48:12You will be interested in knowing that a Federation fleet is on its way here at the moment.
00:48:22Our fleet is preparing to meet them.
00:48:25Checkmate, Commander.
00:48:27Commander.
00:48:28Shall we wait and see the results before you, uh, kill me?
00:48:35I don't intend to kill you.
00:48:36I don't intend to kill you.
00:48:37I don't intend to kill you.
00:48:38What must I have to?
00:48:39Ah.
00:48:41Sentimentality.
00:48:42Ah.
00:48:43Sentimentality.
00:48:44Mercy.
00:48:45The emotions of peace.
00:48:48Your weakness, Captain Kirk.
00:48:51The Klingon Empire shall win.
00:48:55Think of it.
00:48:58As we sit here in space above us, the destiny of the galaxy will be decided for the next 10,000 years.
00:49:12Get out for your drink.
00:49:14We can toast the victory of the Klingon fleet.
00:49:18You may be premature.
00:49:20There are many possibilities.
00:49:22Today we conquer.
00:49:24Though if someday we are defeated, well, war has its fortunes, good and bad.
00:49:35Do you know why we are so strong?
00:49:39Because we are a unit.
00:49:41Each of us is part of the greater whole, always under surveillance.
00:49:48Captain.
00:49:49Even a commander like myself.
00:49:52Always under surveillance, Captain.
00:49:55If you will note...
00:49:57Come on, Spock!
00:49:59Back!
00:50:00Shoot!
00:50:01Shoot!
00:50:02Oh!
00:50:03Ah!
00:50:04Oh!
00:50:05What is this, Spock?
00:50:06Inexplicable, Captain.
00:50:07Extreme heat.
00:50:08Not only the weapons, but the bodies as well.
00:50:10Oh!
00:50:11What is this, Spock?
00:50:12Inexplicable, Captain.
00:50:13Extreme heat.
00:50:14Not only the weapons, but the bodies as well.
00:50:16We are terribly sorry to be forced to interfere, gentlemen.
00:50:33But we cannot permit you to harm yourselves.
00:50:37What are you talking about?
00:50:39We have put a stop to your violence.
00:50:42You?
00:50:43Are stopping this?
00:50:44You?
00:50:45All instruments of violence on this planet now radiate a temperature of 350 degrees.
00:50:54They are inoperative.
00:50:56My fleet!
00:50:57The same conditions exist on both the star fleets.
00:51:00There will be no battle.
00:51:01Ridiculous!
00:51:02I suggest you contact them.
00:51:03You too, Captain.
00:51:04Your ship is now within range of your communications device.
00:51:06Kirkton Enterprise.
00:51:07Come in.
00:51:08Captain.
00:51:09I can't explain it.
00:51:10We were just closing in on the Klingan fleet when every control on our ship became too hot to handle.
00:51:29Our power is gone.
00:51:39Our phaser banks are dead.
00:51:41Stand by, sir.
00:51:42Stand by, sir.
00:51:43My fleet.
00:51:44Tell us.
00:51:45What have you done?
00:51:46As I stand here, I also stand upon the home planet of the Klingan Empire and the home planet of your federation, Captain.
00:52:04I'm going to put a stop to this insane war.
00:52:08You're what?
00:52:10You're talking nonsense.
00:52:11It is being done.
00:52:13You can't just stop the fleet.
00:52:17What gives you the right?
00:52:19You can't interfere.
00:52:21What happens in space is not your business.
00:52:25Unless both sides agree to an immediate cessation of hostilities, all your armed forces, wherever they may be,
00:52:33will be immediately immobilized.
00:52:36We have legitimate grievances against the Klingons.
00:52:39They've invaded our territory, killed our citizens.
00:52:42They're openly aggressive.
00:52:43They've boasted that they'll take over half the galaxy.
00:52:46And why not?
00:52:47We're the stronger.
00:52:49You've tried to hem us in, cut off vital supplies, strangle our trade.
00:52:53You've been asking for war.
00:52:55You're the ones who issued the ultimatum to withdraw from the disputed area.
00:52:59They're not disputed.
00:53:00They're clearly ours.
00:53:01And now you step in with some kind of trick?
00:53:04It is no trick, Commander.
00:53:07We have simply put an end to your war.
00:53:10All your military forces, wherever they are, are now completely paralyzed.
00:53:15We find interference in other people's affairs most disgusting.
00:53:22But you gentlemen have given us no choice.
00:53:26You should be the first to be an outsider.
00:53:28Two hundred hostages killed.
00:53:30No one has been killed, Captain.
00:53:34No one has died here in uncounted thousands of years.
00:53:41You're liars.
00:53:43You're meddling in things that are none of your business.
00:53:47Even if you have some power that we don't understand, you have no right to dictate to our federation, or our empire, how to handle their interstellar relations.
00:54:02We have the right to wage war, Captain.
00:54:06To kill millions of innocent people.
00:54:09To destroy life on a planetary scale.
00:54:12Is that what you're defending?
00:54:15Well, no one wants war.
00:54:24But there are proper channels.
00:54:29People have a right to handle their own affairs.
00:54:34Eventually, we will...
00:54:37Oh, eventually you will have peace.
00:54:40But only after millions of people have died.
00:54:44It is true that in the future, you and the Klingons will become fast friends.
00:54:49You will work together.
00:54:50Never!
00:54:51Your emotions are most discordant.
00:54:55We do not wish to seem inhospitable, but gentlemen, you must leave.
00:55:02Yes, please leave us.
00:55:04The mere presence of beings like yourselves is intensely painful to us.
00:55:11What do you mean beings like yourselves?
00:55:14Millions of years ago, Captain, we were humanoid like yourselves.
00:55:21But we have developed beyond the need of physical bodies.
00:55:25That of us which you see is mere appearance.
00:55:30For your sake.
00:55:37Captain, it's a trick.
00:55:40We can handle them.
00:55:42I have an army.
00:55:44What's going on?
00:55:50I have a voice in my head in the world.
00:55:53I'll just second step after ...
00:55:54The Dead Milk
00:57:01Created so that visitors such as ourselves could have conventional points of reference.
00:57:06But is all this possible?
00:57:10We have seen it with our own eyes.
00:57:12I should say the Organians are as far above us on the evolutionary scale as we are above the Amoeba.
00:57:23Well, Commander, I guess that takes care of the war.
00:57:32Obviously, the Organians aren't going to let us fight.
00:57:35It would have been glorious.
00:57:46Yes.
00:57:47Environmental control.
00:58:04Engineering control.
00:58:08Environmental control.
00:58:13Environmental control.
00:58:16The bridge.
00:58:16All systems show green.
00:58:19You've been most restrained since we left Organia.
00:58:22The bridge.
00:58:22All systems show green.
00:58:24I'm embarrassed.
00:58:26I was furious for the Organians for stopping a war I didn't want.
00:58:30We think of ourselves as the most powerful beings in the universe.
00:58:36It's unsettling to discover that we're wrong.
00:58:40Captain, it took millions of years for the Organians to evolve into what they are.
00:58:50Even the gods did not spring into being overnight.
