00:00:00Start your reading.
00:00:30Well, I just might stake out a claim and settle down here, Jim.
00:00:47It is spectacular, isn't it?
00:00:49It's a shame after and true.
00:00:52Well, the last scout ship reported some pretty strange sensor readings.
00:00:57Starfleet wants it investigated in the inhabitants' contact, and we do what we're told.
00:01:05Soil here is remarkably rich and fertile, Captain.
00:01:09Husbandry would be quite efficacious.
00:01:12Are you sure about that?
00:01:15Oh, quite sure.
00:01:16Readings indicate the entire planet is covered with growth like this.
00:01:21Curious, even at the poles, there's very little variation in temperature,
00:01:24which maintains a planet-wide average of 76 degrees.
00:01:29I know, almost impossible.
00:01:31It makes me homesick.
00:01:34Just like Russia.
00:01:37More like the Garden of Eden, Ensign.
00:01:40Of course, Doctor.
00:01:42The Garden of Eden was just outside Moscow.
00:01:45A very nice place.
00:01:46It must have made Adam and Eve worry sad to live.
00:01:51Just outside Moscow.
00:01:53All right.
00:01:53There's a village about 17 kilometers away on Bering 232.
00:01:57We'll head that way.
00:02:09Captain.
00:02:09Captain.
00:02:10Captain.
00:02:10Captain.
00:02:16Captain.
00:02:25Dead.
00:02:34What did somebody say?
00:02:37The paradise must have looked like this.
00:02:40Space, the final frontier.
00:03:04These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
00:03:07It's five-year mission to explore strange new worlds.
00:03:14To seek out new life and new civilizations.
00:03:19To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:03:22To be continued...
00:03:44To be continued...
00:03:46Captain's Log
00:04:12Stardate 3715.3
00:04:14While making a routine exploration of the unexplored Gamma Trianguli 6,
00:04:20one of my men has been killed by a poisonous plant.
00:04:24As soon as we get out of the way, beam the body up.
00:04:27Aye, Captain.
00:04:28That's a shame about Hendorf.
00:04:30We seem to have a problem here, too.
00:04:33What is it?
00:04:34We're losing potency in our antimatter pods.
00:04:37I don't think it's serious, but we're looking into it.
00:04:39What's causing it?
00:04:41I'm not sure, sir.
00:04:42Well, we've run measurements on the electromagnetic field of the planet,
00:04:46and they are a wee bit abnormal.
00:04:49That might have something to do with it.
00:04:51But you say there's nothing to worry about?
00:04:55Well, sir, I didn't exactly say that.
00:04:59Well, stay on top of it.
00:05:00If we got a job to do here, we might as well finish it.
00:05:02I hear it's nice down there.
00:05:06Yeah, it's nice.
00:05:09If we're a little more careful, we shouldn't run into any more trouble.
00:05:13I could do with a nice walk in a garden with green leaves and grass.
00:05:19We'll do the walking, Scotty.
00:05:23You get on the antimatter pod.
00:05:25If it gets any worse, let me know.
00:05:27We'll beam up.
00:05:28Kirk out.
00:05:30I find that most unusual, Captain.
00:05:33Well, Scotty, why haven't we got a job to do?
00:05:36Turn up anything on your tricorder.
00:05:38Indeed.
00:05:39Subsurface vibrations for miles in all directions.
00:05:43That's strange.
00:05:44Quite strong, fairly regular, artificially produced.
00:05:51Mallory.
00:05:53Yes, Captain?
00:05:56We're heading for the village.
00:05:59Avoid contact with the humanoids.
00:06:02But I want you and Marple to make a full reconnaissance.
00:06:04So be careful.
00:06:06There may be other danger besides poisonous plants.
00:06:09Keep in constant communication.
00:06:11Aye, sir.
00:06:12Captain.
00:06:14There's a humanoid, hiding directly behind us, moving with remarkable agility, bearing one eight.
00:06:30What is it, Mr. Spock?
00:06:46A visitor?
00:06:48One wanting to retain his anonymity, I should say.
00:06:52All this beauty, and now Mr. Hendorf dead, somebody watching us, it's frightening.
00:07:10If you insist on worrying, worry about me.
00:07:17I've been wanting to get you in a place like this for a long time.
00:07:22Mr. Chekhov.
00:07:24In London, I know you find each other fascinating, but we're not here to conduct a field experiment in human biology.
00:07:29I was just about to take some readings.
00:07:32Anything?
00:07:33Whatever it is, it moves like a cat.
00:07:37German don't like this.
00:07:38Neither do I.
00:07:39All hands.
00:07:43We've been watched.
00:07:44We'll probably be watched.
00:07:45We're moving out.
00:07:46Formation L.
00:07:47We'll be with you.
00:07:57We'll be with you.
00:08:01Interesting.
00:08:21Extremely low specific gravity.
00:08:24Some uraniumite, horn blend, quartz.
00:08:30Fragile, good cleavage.
00:08:32An analysis should prove interesting.
00:08:41Would you mind being careful where you throw your rocks, Mr. Spike?
00:08:45Obviously, highly unstable, Captain.
00:08:48This could be a find of some importance.
00:08:50In large quantities, it could be a considerable source of power.
00:08:53Garden of Eden.
00:08:55With landmines.
00:08:57The End
00:09:08Enterprise to Captain Kirk.
00:09:28Kirk here.
00:09:30Scott, sir, our anti-matter pods are completely inert.
00:09:34I couldn't stop it, but I know why.
00:09:38Why?
00:09:39Something from the surface.
00:09:40It's like a tail of water on a fire.
00:09:43A beam, maybe, or a transmission.
00:09:46And it's still on.
00:09:48I'm having it analyzed, but it's like nothing I've ever seen before.
00:09:53And it's pinpointed in the area of that village we located down there.
00:09:57We're heading there now, Scotty.
00:09:59Do you need any help?
00:10:00There's nothing you could do about it, sir.
00:10:02And there doesn't seem to be any immediate danger.
00:10:05All right, Scotty.
00:10:05We'll try and find out what's going on down here.
00:10:08Kirk out.
00:10:09If Scott is correct about the force from the surface, it may have to do with the vibrations I read earlier.
00:10:15Some kind of generator?
00:10:16If so, an immense one.
00:10:20Probably subterranean.
00:10:25What's that?
00:10:27Some of the thorns, like those that kill Hindor.
00:10:30See the stuff on the end?
00:10:32It's like sapling, only it's a thousand times stronger.
00:10:36Peculiar stuff to find in paradise.
00:10:38Jim!
00:10:39Spock!
00:10:45Spock!
00:10:53Spock!
00:10:58Security alert.
00:10:59He's not responding.
00:11:22I've got to get him back to the ship, Jim.
00:11:27Kirk did arise.
00:11:29Scott here, sir.
00:11:30We're beaming up.
00:11:31Notify transporter room.
00:11:34And make arrangements to pick up Mallory and Marple.
00:11:36They're scouting ahead of us.
00:11:38Aye, aye, sir.
00:11:40Transporter room.
00:11:41Stand by to beam up landing party.
00:11:44All hands.
00:11:52Standing by, sir.
00:11:54Energize.
00:11:58Energize.
00:11:58Scotty, what's the matter?
00:12:27We can't make transporter contact, sir.
00:12:34The entire system's inhibited.
00:12:38The way it is now, we couldn't beam up a fly.
00:12:42Captain's log, supplementary.
00:12:56Captain's log, supplementary.
00:12:59Our investigation of Gamma Trianguli 6 has suddenly turned into a nightmare, where we watched and followed.
00:13:06Mr. Spock has been injured.
00:13:08Mr. Spock has been injured, and now we find we are unable to return to the ship.
00:13:13Scotty, is the transporter malfunction tied in with the trouble you're having with the antimatter pods?
00:13:20I don't know, sir.
00:13:21I'll check in and get back to you.
00:13:23Scotty, I'll...
00:13:24What?
00:13:28You all right?
00:13:33Dr. McCoy's potion is acting like all his potions, turning my stomach.
00:13:40Other than that, I am quite well.
00:13:42Well, if your blood were red instead of green, you wouldn't have an upset stomach.
00:13:50Just what do you think you were trying to do?
00:13:53I surmised you were unaware of that plant, so I...
00:13:56Stepped in front and took the thorns yourself.
00:13:58I assure you, Captain, I had no intention of doing that.
00:14:02It was merely my own clumsiness, which prevented me from moving out of the way.
00:14:06I see.
00:14:07Well, next time, just yell.
00:14:08I can step out of the way as quickly as the next man.
00:14:11I shall do so.
00:14:14Trying to get yourself killed.
00:14:15Do you know how much Starfleet has invested in you?
00:14:19122,200...
00:14:20Never mind.
00:14:26Look.
00:14:27Thanks.
00:14:28Captain, take the post.
00:14:33Not only is something after us, but it's after the ship as well.
00:14:37Captain, to affect the ship at this extreme range would require a highly sophisticated planetary defense system.
00:14:43Thirty seconds ago, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
00:14:58Thirty seconds ago, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
00:15:12Captain, to TD, to infect the ship.
00:15:14Power!
00:15:44Lasers!
00:16:14A beautiful day, Mrs. Paul.
00:16:24A cloud in the sky.
00:16:29Just like paradise.
00:16:41Kirk here.
00:16:43Now, where are you here, Captain?
00:16:44I'm near the village.
00:16:48Coordinates
00:16:49118 by 220.
00:16:57Mallory.
00:17:00Mallory, you all right? Come in.
00:17:02The village is
00:17:03primitive.
00:17:06Strictly tribal from the looks of it.
00:17:11And, Captain,
00:17:12there's something else.
00:17:13Captain, come in.
00:17:22Mallory.
00:17:24Mallory, you all right?
00:17:26Mallory!
00:17:28Captain,
00:17:29those coordinates are a short distance in that direction.
00:17:31On the double.
00:17:33It's over there.
00:17:34That way. I never saw anything like it.
00:17:37It's over there.
00:17:44It's over there.
00:17:48That way. I never saw anything like it.
00:17:50that way.
00:17:50I have to do it.
00:17:51That way.
00:17:52I never saw anything like it.
00:17:52I never saw anything like it.
00:17:53I never saw anything like it.
00:17:54That way.
00:17:55That way.
00:17:56I never saw anything like that.
00:17:56That way, power!
00:17:59My brother, come back.
00:18:00Watch it.
00:18:01Rocks!
00:18:02Rocks!
00:18:16Kaplan.
00:18:19Endorf.
00:18:23I knew Kaplan's family. Now Mallory.
00:18:27Jim, you couldn't have stopped any of this.
00:18:30Yes. His father helped me get into the academy.
00:18:44Captain.
00:18:46In each case, this was unavoidable.
00:18:50I could have prevented all of it.
00:18:51I don't see how.
00:18:54Walk in paradise.
00:18:57Among the green grass and the flowers should have beamed up at the first sign of trouble.
00:19:03You are under orders to investigate this planet and this culture.
00:19:07I also have the option to disregard those orders if I consider them overly hazardous.
00:19:13This isn't that important a mission, Spock. Not worth the lives of three of my men.
00:19:20I dropped my guard for a minute.
00:19:24Because I like the smell of growing things.
00:19:26Now three men are dead.
00:19:28And the ship's in trouble.
00:19:30No one has ever stated that Starfleet duty was particularly safe.
00:19:34You've followed the correct and logical course.
00:19:36Done everything the commander could do.
00:19:38Self recriminations.
00:19:43Captain.
00:19:47Our friend is back.
00:19:49Marple.
00:19:50Check out.
00:19:51Add attention.
00:19:52Gentlemen.
00:19:53Something or someone is behind that rock.
00:19:55I want it.
00:19:56Marple.
00:19:57Cut around the rock to your right.
00:19:58Make a loud noise.
00:20:00Spock.
00:20:01You and Chekov created a version.
00:20:02And make it loud.
00:20:03Mr. Chekov.
00:20:04The tri-quarter readings are totally inefficient.
00:20:05or someone is behind that rock.
00:20:08I want it.
00:20:09Marple, cut around the rock to your right.
00:20:12Make a loud noise.
00:20:16Mark, you and Chekhov created a version
00:20:20and make it louder.
00:20:26Mr. Chekhov,
00:20:28your tricorder readings are totally inefficient.
00:20:31Mind your own business, sir.
00:20:33For your information, I have a very high efficiency rate.
00:20:36And soon I will not have you address me in that tone of voice.
00:20:39What do you want?
00:20:40Violins?
00:21:03I won't hurt you.
00:21:05Do you understand?
00:21:06I won't hurt you.
00:21:10You struck me
00:21:11with your hand.
00:21:17Well, I won't strike you again.
00:21:20You've been following us.
00:21:23Watching us.
00:21:24Why?
00:21:26I am the eyes of Val.
00:21:28He must see.
00:21:30Who is Val?
00:21:32Val is Val.
00:21:33He is...
00:21:35everything.
00:21:37Do you have a name?
00:21:39I am Akuta.
00:21:41I am the leader of the feeders of Val.
00:21:45They're not going to hurt you.
00:21:47I promise you.
00:21:51Akuta.
00:21:51Akuta.
00:21:56We come in peace.
00:21:59We would like to
00:22:01speak to this Val.
00:22:05Akuta alone speaks to Val.
00:22:09I am the eyes and the voice of Val.
00:22:13It is Val's wish.
00:22:15Captain,
00:22:16this is fascinating.
00:22:17If you will permit me, sir.
00:22:41Antenai?
00:22:42They are my ears for Val.
00:22:45They were given to me
00:22:46in the dim time
00:22:47so the people could understand
00:22:49his commands
00:22:50and obey.
00:22:51You speak of the people of Val.
00:22:54Are they nearby?
00:22:55We are close to Val
00:22:56so we may serve him.
00:22:58I shall take you there.
00:23:06Enterprise to Captain Current.
00:23:07Kirk here.
00:23:13Condition red.
00:23:14Condition red.
00:23:17Captain.
00:23:19Something has grabbed us
00:23:21from the pilot's surface.
00:23:22Like a giant tractor beam.
00:23:24And we can't break loose.
00:23:26It's no use, Mr. Scott.
00:23:27We're just barely holding our own.
00:23:29Scotty, the warp drives to low?
00:23:30Aye, sir.
00:23:31All we have is impulse power.
00:23:34Put it on maximum.
00:23:35Full emergency circuits.
00:23:37They're all on, Captain.
00:23:39Status.
00:23:40Are you still holding?
00:23:41Kyle.
00:23:42Oh, sir.
00:23:43We're slipping.
00:23:44Computer bags, pal.
00:23:45Feed in a rate.
00:23:46Get me a figure.
00:23:49We might be able to pull out
00:23:50with warp drive,
00:23:51but without it...
00:23:52We're like a fly-on-fly paper.
00:23:54Even worse.
00:23:55We're starting to lose ground.
00:23:58Hurry up on the figure, Kyle.
00:23:59Maintain full reverse thrust
00:24:01against the pull.
00:24:02Put a team on that warp drive.
00:24:03Get it working.
00:24:04I've done that, Captain.
00:24:05Captain, they haven't been able
00:24:06to do a thing.
00:24:12It's no good, Captain.
00:24:14With maximum thrust
00:24:15against the pull,
00:24:16we'll only be able to maintain
00:24:19full power for 16 hours.
00:24:21Then we burn up for sure.
00:24:23Scotty.
00:24:26You're my chief engineer.
00:24:30You know everything about that ship
00:24:32that there is to know.
00:24:33More than the men who designed it.
00:24:35If you can't get those warp engines working,
00:24:40you're fired.
00:24:41I'll do everything there is to do, sir.
00:24:44Scotty.
00:24:45Tell me about Val.
00:24:56All the world knows about Val.
00:24:58He...
00:24:58He causes the rains to fall
00:25:01and the sun to shine.
00:25:02All good comes from Val.
00:25:05Take me to him.
00:25:07I wish to speak to him.
00:25:08I shall take you to him.
00:25:11But he will not speak to you.
00:25:13He speaks only to me.
00:25:15I'll take my chances.
00:25:19Val.
00:25:32Val.
00:25:33Captain's Log, Stardate 3715.6
00:25:58We have been introduced to Val.
00:26:03Evidently the source
00:26:04of the planet's power emanations.
00:26:07Possibly the force
00:26:08that threatens both us
00:26:10and our ship.
00:26:14Fascinating.
00:26:18Very high order of workmanship.
00:26:21Very ancient.
00:26:23Generating great power.
00:26:25But this is not the center, Mr. Spock.
00:26:28No, Captain.
00:26:28The center is deep
00:26:30in the Earth beneath us.
00:26:31This is an access point.
00:26:33It would also seem to be a...
00:26:36A force field?
00:26:42Obviously.
00:26:44You all right?
00:26:46Yes, quite.
00:26:51It extends some 30 feet
00:26:53beyond the figure
00:26:54in all directions.
00:26:55Conventional in composition.
00:26:57And quite formidable.
00:27:00And quite formidable.
00:27:01Akuta.
00:27:03How do you...
00:27:04talk to Val?
00:27:07Val calls me.
00:27:08Only then.
00:27:11Well, we can't get to it.
00:27:13Can't talk to it
00:27:14unless he wants to talk to us.
00:27:15Val sleeps now.
00:27:18When he is hungry,
00:27:19you may be able to speak with him
00:27:21if he desires it.
00:27:23When does he get hungry?
00:27:26Soon.
00:27:27Come.
00:27:29We will give you food and drink.
00:27:30If you are tired,
00:27:31you may rest.
00:27:32These are the people of Val.
00:27:58Where are the others?
00:28:08There are no others.
00:28:11The, uh...
00:28:12Children.
00:28:14Children.
00:28:15You will use unknown words for me.
00:28:21Little ones, like yourselves,
00:28:22they grow.
00:28:25Ah, replacements.
00:28:28None are necessary.
00:28:30They are forbidden, by Val.
00:28:32But when a man and woman
00:28:34fall in love...
00:28:36Love.
00:28:37Strange words, children.
00:28:39Love.
00:28:41What is love?
00:28:42Love is...
00:28:46When two people are...
00:28:49Ah.
00:28:51Yes, the holding,
00:28:52the touching.
00:28:54Val has forbidden this.
00:28:56Well, there goes paradise.
00:29:00These people...
00:29:03are from another place.
00:29:05They have come among us.
00:29:07Welcome them.
00:29:10Welcome to Val.
00:29:11Our homes are open to you.
00:29:21It, uh...
00:29:23does something for you.
00:29:25Yes, indeed it does, Captain.
00:29:28It makes me uncomfortable.
00:29:30I am Sayana.
00:29:32You have a name?
00:29:33Yes.
00:29:34Spock.
00:29:36I am Spock.
00:29:39Spock.
00:29:39I fail to see what they find so amusing.
00:29:46Help!
00:29:47Help!
00:29:47This house is your house.
00:29:54I will send you more food and drink.
00:30:10you are welcome
00:30:15in the place of Val.
00:30:22Now we're welcome.
00:30:23A while ago,
00:30:24this whole planet was trying to kill us.
00:30:27Doesn't make sense.
00:30:28Nothing makes sense down here.
00:30:30Kirk to Enterprise, come in.
00:30:32Scott here.
00:30:33Status report, Scotty.
00:30:34No change, Captain.
00:30:36The orbit is decaying along computed lines.
00:30:38No success with the warp drive.
00:30:40We're going down and we can't stop it.
00:30:43I'm sick of hearing that word, can't.
00:30:45Get that ship out of there.
00:30:47Sir, we're doing everything within engineering reason.
00:30:51And use your imagination.
00:30:53Tie every ounce of power the ship has into the impulse engines.
00:30:56Discard the warp drive in the cells if you have to.
00:30:58And crack out of there with the main section.
00:31:00But get that ship out of there.
00:31:02Sir, I'm going to switch over everything but the life support systems
00:31:06and boost the impulse power.
00:31:08But that's just about as dangerous.
00:31:11Do it.
00:31:12Kirk out.
00:31:14Incredible.
00:31:16Report.
00:31:17I just ran a thorough check on the natives.
00:31:19And there's a complete lack of harmful bacteria in their system.
00:31:23No decalcification.
00:31:24No degeneration of tissue.
00:31:26No arteriosclerosis.
00:31:29In simple terms, Jim, they're not growing old.
00:31:33And I can't begin to tell you how old they are.
00:31:3620 years or 20,000 years.
00:31:40You see.
00:31:44Opinion.
00:31:46Quite possible.
00:31:47It checks with my atmospheric analysis.
00:31:50Their atmosphere completely negates any harmful effects from their sun.
00:31:56Add to that.
00:31:57Simple diet.
00:32:00Perfectly controlled temperature.
00:32:03No natural enemies.
00:32:06Apparently no vices.
00:32:08No replacements needed.
00:32:10Maybe it is paradise after all.
00:32:17Spock.
00:32:17It's a spark.
00:32:33Apparently, our hypothesis is correct.
00:33:02There is no living being there.
00:33:04It is a machine.
00:33:06Nothing more.
00:33:12Well, the field's down.
00:33:14People are going in.
00:33:16Let's see what kind of luck we have.
00:33:25That's not the way.
00:33:27Evidently not.
00:33:29This is no ordinary machine, Captain.
00:33:31It may well possess a rudimentary intelligence.
00:33:35But it needs to eat frequently.
00:33:39So it can't have any great power reserves.
00:33:42That may not be of any help.
00:33:45The Enterprise has only ten hours left in which to break free.
00:33:48What happens if all weakens around feeding time?
00:34:00Spark, check the electromagnetic section of the astrophysics lab.
00:34:06Get an estimate of the total amount of energy being expended against the ship.
00:34:10Have them measure it hour by hour.
00:34:12Acknowledged.
00:34:12What's going on, Jim?
00:34:33A missed call.
00:34:34In my view, a splendid example of reciprocity.
00:34:38It would take a computerized Vulcan mind such as yours to make that kind of a statement.
00:34:44Doctor, you insist on applying human standards to non-human cultures.
00:34:49I remind you that humans are only a tiny minority in this galaxy.
00:34:52There are certain absolutes, Mr. Spock.
00:34:58And one of them is the right of humanoids to a free and unchained environment.
00:35:03The right to have conditions which permit growth.
00:35:07Another is their right to choose a system which seems to work for them.
00:35:10Jim, you're not just going to stand by and be blinded to what's going on here.
00:35:17These are humanoids, intelligent.
00:35:20They need to advance and grow.
00:35:24Don't you understand what my readings indicate?
00:35:26There's been no change or progress here in at least 10,000 years.
00:35:31This isn't life.
00:35:33It's stagnation.
00:35:34Doctor, these people are healthy and they are happy.
00:35:37Whatever you choose to call it, this system works.
00:35:40Despite your emotional reaction to it.
00:35:43It might work for you, Mr. Spock, but it doesn't work for me.
00:35:49Humanoids live in so they can service a hunk of 10.
00:35:54Gentlemen, I think this philosophical argument can wait until our ship's out of danger.
00:36:03Kirk here.
00:36:04Scotty, sir.
00:36:05We have a reading on the power source Mr. Spock requested.
00:36:08When we first monitored, it was generating alternating cycles totaling 100 to the 20th power water minutes.
00:36:17Did it maintain, Scotty?
00:36:18No, sir.
00:36:19Power's dropping bit by bit.
00:36:22Nominal, but a definite drain.
00:36:25Good.
00:36:26Keep monitoring.
00:36:28How are you coming along with the circuit switchover?
00:36:30We're putting everything but the kitchen sink into the impulse power, sir.
00:36:34It'll take us another eight hours to complete the work.
00:36:38That's cutting it a bit fine, Scotty.
00:36:40Aye.
00:36:42But if we don't break out...
00:36:45I'd rather we didn't have to wait too long for the end of it.
00:36:54Kirk out.
00:36:54Every time I think of the Enterprise burning up and us...
00:37:07Gentlemen, you're wasting energy.
00:37:09Captain, we're trapped on this...
00:37:10Sit down.
00:37:11And have something to eat.
00:37:13The Enterprise is up there.
00:37:15That hasn't happened yet.
00:37:16I wonder what would happen...
00:37:26Gentlemen, speculate.
00:37:29What would happen if someone on this planet died?
00:37:33But they can't.
00:37:36You said that Val takes care of them.
00:37:39Accidents happen?
00:37:42Yes.
00:37:43I suppose if someone were to fall off a cliff or something...
00:37:48That might upset the balance of the population.
00:37:52Then they would need a replacement.
00:37:55They'd need a replacement.
00:37:58Opinion, Mr. Spock?
00:38:00I see no alternative.
00:38:02But these people...
00:38:04I mean, if they don't know anything about...
00:38:07What I mean is...
00:38:19They don't seem to have any natural...
00:38:24I mean...
00:38:28How is it done?
00:38:29Mr. Spock?
00:38:43Hey, you're the science officer.
00:38:45Why don't you explain it to the young lady?
00:38:46Well, I...
00:38:57Believe it's...
00:38:59Safe...
00:39:00Safe to assume that they would...
00:39:05Receive the necessary...
00:39:07Instructions...
00:39:10From a machine...
00:39:11That I'd like to see.
00:39:32I understand, Val.
00:39:35It shall be done.
00:39:37You know...
00:39:53If it weren't for...
00:39:55Val...
00:39:56This place would be a paradise.
00:39:58Any place we can be together...
00:40:10Is paradise.
00:40:22Pav...
00:40:23Can the ship really break away?
00:40:28I don't know.
00:40:32Will we be able to get back aboard?
00:40:36Marta...
00:40:37I don't know.
00:40:42But if we do have to stay here...
00:40:45Would it be so...
00:40:48Very bad?
00:40:54No.
00:40:56Not if you're with me.
00:40:57Why do you look like that?
00:41:23The way they touched.
00:41:26I do not understand.
00:41:29They were not angry.
00:41:32I think it was pleasant for them.
00:41:34But what is to be gained?
00:41:36It is not a dance.
00:41:37It is not a dance.
00:41:42It gathers no food.
00:41:45It does not serve Val.
00:41:46But it did seem as though it was pleasant to them.
00:41:59It is not a dance.
00:42:00I am here.
00:42:01It is not...
00:42:11It is no one...
00:42:16I am here.
00:42:21It is pleasant, Makara.
00:42:43Yes.
00:42:51They're touched in this way.
00:43:21Val, he is angry.
00:43:34The law is plain.
00:43:37I have given you the words of Val.
00:43:40Do you beg the lightning to strike?
00:43:43We saw the strangers.
00:43:45The two of them do this thing.
00:43:48You copied them?
00:43:49We met no harm.
00:44:00Val speaks truly to me.
00:44:03The newcomers are a danger.
00:44:08Tell the men of Val to meet me in the clear place, when the strangers are asleep.
00:44:15It is Val's own words.
00:44:20Val has spoken to me.
00:44:37His words are true, hear them.
00:44:41We are to kill the strangers.
00:44:43Kill, Makuta.
00:44:47We do not understand.
00:44:52It is a thing to do, like feeding Val.
00:44:58Val explained it to me, I will show you.
00:45:02This is the head of one of the strangers.
00:45:08Find a heavy stick.
00:45:11Come up from behind the stranger and do this.
00:45:19It is a simple thing, it is the word of all.
00:45:30It will be done, to all of them, when the sun returns in the morning.
00:45:37I am concerned, Captain, this may not be an ideal society, but it is a viable one.
00:46:04Bones was right.
00:46:05Bones was right.
00:46:06These people aren't living, they are existing.
00:46:07They don't create, they don't produce, they don't even think.
00:46:11They exist to service a machine.
00:46:15If we do what it seems we must, in my opinion, we will be in direct violation of the non-interference
00:46:22directive.
00:46:23These are people, not robots.
00:46:26They should have the opportunity of choice.
00:46:35We owe it to them.
00:46:36To interfere.
00:46:37The Starfleet Command may think otherwise.
00:46:40I'll take my chances.
00:46:43Why don't you have to look around?
00:46:46Back to Enterprise.
00:46:49Mr. Scott.
00:46:50Here, sir.
00:46:51How's it going, Steffi?
00:46:53Almost ready, sir.
00:46:54We'll need a half an hour yet.
00:46:56You realize that within 45 minutes, the ship will be pulled down into the atmosphere.
00:47:01I know that.
00:47:02As you said, that's cutting things fine.
00:47:05Yes.
00:47:06Captain.
00:47:07Kirkham.
00:47:08What is disturbing?
00:47:13The people of Val seem to have disappeared.
00:47:20Force field, Captain.
00:47:26We are on a peaceful mission.
00:47:39We mean no harm to you or your people.
00:47:43Or your people.
00:47:52Variation and impulses, Captain.
00:47:54I believe it is reading us.
00:47:56Strong jump on all wavelengths.
00:47:58Let's get out of here.
00:48:11Let's get out of here.
00:48:13Let's get out of here.
00:48:17Bones!
00:48:28Second degree burns.
00:48:34second-degree burns not serious but i bet they smart doctor you have an unsurpassed talent for
00:48:55understatement
00:49:25put them in the hut find out where the women are put them in there too
00:49:42the good doctor was concerned that the valians achieve true human stature
00:49:56i submit there's no cause for worry they've taken the first step they've learned to kill
00:50:12we're ready here sir all available power has been channeled into the impulse engines
00:50:28we have 12 minutes before entering atmosphere all right scotty put her in full reverse get her out
00:50:34full reverse mr kyle all engines
00:50:43sir captain we're doing it we're pulling away
00:50:53surely what happened
00:51:03it's no good sir there's only a few systems responding
00:51:09captain we pulled away a little we gained maybe an hour
00:51:16but we blew almost every system in the ship doing it
00:51:21there's nothing left to try again
00:51:24i guess you'll have to fire me sir
00:51:27you're fired
00:51:29400 people
00:51:39jim
00:51:40they'll die because i couldn't see a warning sign
00:51:44i have to follow orders
00:51:47always orders
00:51:49get back in there
00:52:02find time to ring the dinner bell
00:52:04get back in there
00:52:07now
00:52:08Holmes that's it
00:52:09stay with Chekhov
00:52:13keep those people from feeding vol
00:52:17don't let them feed vol
00:52:20keep them in the hut
00:52:22mr spark
00:52:23sorry do you still have phaser power
00:52:33aye but what
00:52:35lock all banks on the coordinates of the energy field located down here
00:52:38on my command
00:52:43commence firing on those coordinates
00:52:46aye sir
00:52:47but they won't penetrate that force field
00:52:50my guess is correct
00:52:52they won't have to
00:52:53stand by
00:52:53the vow calls to us
00:52:59let us go to him he hungers
00:53:02please
00:53:03readings are getting weaker captain
00:53:10wide variation in energy transmissions as though val were trying to draw on other sources
00:53:16tapping its energy cells
00:53:17i would assume so
00:53:18good
00:53:19ships pulling away must have weakened it considerably
00:53:22it has to be fed
00:53:23but its reserve capacity
00:53:26could hold out for days
00:53:28if it had to reinforce its energy field
00:53:31to put off a phaser attack
00:53:33it would have to draw more heavily on its reserves
00:53:35my plan exactly
00:53:37scotty
00:53:39scotty here sir
00:53:40scotty
00:53:42commence firing and maintain
00:53:44mr kyle
00:53:49all phasers
00:53:50commence firing
00:53:52tremendous upsurge in generated power captain
00:54:09obviously vol is trying to reinforce its energy field
00:54:18good let's see how long you can do it
00:54:39we can do it
00:54:40we can't do it
00:54:41neither
00:54:42never

00:55:09Scotty, cease fire!
00:55:39No power generation at all, Captain.
00:56:03Vol is dead.
00:56:05Mr. Scott, status report.
00:56:09Tractor beam gone. Potency returning to anti-matter pods.
00:56:16I'll have all engineering sections working on the circuits immediately.
00:56:20Transport will be ready in an hour.
00:56:22Scotty, you're rehired.
00:56:24As soon as the transporter's fixed,
00:56:27pull them an engineering detail with full analytical equipment and beam them down.
00:56:31Kirk out.
00:56:32Check off.
00:56:33Bones.
00:56:34Let those people go.
00:56:39But it was Vol who put the fruit on the trees, caused the rain to fall.
00:56:50Vol cared for us.
00:56:54You'll learn to care for yourselves with our help.
00:56:58And there's no trick to putting fruit on trees.
00:57:02You might even enjoy it.
00:57:04You'll learn to build for yourselves, think for yourselves, work for yourselves.
00:57:08And what you create is yours.
00:57:10That's what we call freedom.
00:57:13You'll like it a lot.
00:57:16And you'll learn something about men and women, the way they're supposed to be.
00:57:21Caring for each other.
00:57:22Being happy with each other.
00:57:24Being good to each other.
00:57:25That's what we call love.
00:57:31You'll like that too.
00:57:32A lot.
00:57:32You and your children.
00:57:35What are children?
00:57:37The little ones look like you.
00:57:41They just go on the way you're going.
00:57:43You'll find out.
00:57:43I don't agree with you at all, Mr. Spocker.
00:58:03It's not unusual, Doctor.
00:58:05Hey, Jim.
00:58:06I want you to hear this.
00:58:07Captain, I'm not at all certain we did the correct thing on Gamma Trianguli 6.
00:58:13We put those people back on a normal course of social evolution.
00:58:17I see nothing wrong in that.
00:58:20Well, that's a good object lesson, Mr. Spock.
00:58:22An example of what can happen when the machine becomes too efficient does too much work for you.
00:58:28Captain, you are aware of the biblical story of Genesis.
00:58:32Yes, of course I'm aware of it.
00:58:33Adam and Eve tasted the apple and as a result were driven out of paradise.
00:58:38Precisely, Captain.
00:58:39And in a manner of speaking, we have given the people of Vile, the apple, the knowledge of good and evil, if you will.
00:58:46As a result of which, they too have been driven out of paradise.
00:58:52Doctor, do I understand him correctly?
00:58:55Are you casting me in the role of Satan?
00:58:59Not at all, Captain.
00:59:00Is there anyone on this ship who even remotely looks like Satan?
00:59:11I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain.
00:59:16No, Mr. Spock.
00:59:17I didn't think you would...
00:59:18I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain.
00:59:36I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain.
00:59:37The End
