00:00:00Two, a planet with a poisonous atmosphere where the Federation maintains an asylum
00:00:05for the few remaining incorrigible criminally insane of the galaxy.
00:00:11We are bringing a revolutionary new medicine to them.
00:00:16A medicine with which the Federation hopes to eliminate mental illness for all time.
00:00:23I am transporting down with Mr. Spock and we're delivering the medicine to Dr. Donald Corey
00:00:29the governor of the colony.
00:00:32Donald, good to see you.
00:00:35Gentlemen, you don't know what a treat this is for me.
00:00:39It's been too long since I've had company, Jim.
00:00:44The force field's back in place now.
00:00:47That means you two are trapped here and I'm not accepting any excuses for your not dining with me.
00:00:53We'd be delighted.
00:00:55Governor, you indicated one additional inmate since our last visit,
00:00:59making a total of 15.
00:01:00Is that correct?
00:01:01It is.
00:01:03The rehabilitation program isn't progressing too well.
00:01:08And I have my doubts about the effectiveness of this medicine, too.
00:01:13Why, Donald, are you becoming a pessimist?
00:01:15I'm afraid I have.
00:01:17A total of 15 incurably insane out of billions is not what I would call an excessive figure.
00:01:24Who is the new inmate?
00:01:25Uh, Garth.
00:01:32Garth of Izar, a former starship fleet captain.
00:01:37Well, I was the cadet.
00:01:39At the academy, his exploits were required reading.
00:01:43He was one of my heroes.
00:01:45I'd like to see him, Donnie.
00:01:47Of course.
00:01:47Captain, you're making a mistake.
00:02:16Captain Kirk is pressed for time at the moment, Marta.
00:02:21There's nothing the matter with me.
00:02:23Can't you see just by looking at me?
00:02:26Can't you tell just by listening?
00:02:28You sound rational enough, Captain.
00:02:30I am rational.
00:02:33What is it you want to tell him?
00:02:37I can't tell you in front of him.
00:02:40You're afraid to talk in front of Governor Corey?
00:02:44He isn't really Governor Corey at all.
00:02:47That's just it.
00:02:49She's been saying that for days now.
00:02:51Our medical staff can't figure out why.
00:02:54Here's Garth.
00:03:13He's been unusually disturbed.
00:03:15And we've had to impose additional restraint.
00:03:21Corey?
00:03:23Yes, Jim.
00:03:25I'm Corey.
00:03:29It's true.
00:03:32He tricked you.
00:03:34You said you wanted to see me, Captain.
00:03:50Well, here I am.
00:03:51Space.
00:04:11A final frontier.
00:04:12These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
00:04:25It's five-year mission.
00:04:28To explore strange new worlds.
00:04:31To seek out new life and new civilizations.
00:04:35To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:04:42To be continued...
00:05:12Your Vulcan friend is still alive, Captain.
00:05:37My phaser was set to stun, not to kill.
00:05:40You'll be quite comfortable.
00:05:43Almost as comfortable as you and our esteemed Governor.
00:05:49Garth, you have to make him suffer like that.
00:05:52You will address me by my proper title, Kirk.
00:05:55I'm sorry.
00:05:56I should have said Captain Garth.
00:05:58I am Lord Garth.
00:06:01Formerly of Isaac.
00:06:03And I lead the future masters of the universe.
00:06:05I'm sorry, Lord Garth.
00:06:10You Earth people are a stiff-necked lot, aren't you?
00:06:19Release him.
00:06:21I'm afraid that subjugating you won't be enough.
00:06:24You must be confined.
00:06:26And all the people of the galaxy, who will not bow to my will, must be confined or destroyed.
00:06:36Captain Garth, listen to me.
00:06:39Oh, our beloved Governor has decided to address us.
00:06:44And we have not given him our permission to speak.
00:06:47Are you so afraid of him that you must keep him pinned?
00:06:59I'm afraid of no one.
00:07:02You're all powerless against me.
00:07:07How old have you done with the medicine?
00:07:12The medicine?
00:07:14You mean the poison?
00:07:15I destroyed it.
00:07:16Destroyed it?
00:07:17It was your only...
00:07:18Silence!
00:07:19A chatter of inferior weaklings wearies me.
00:07:23But it's time I took command of the Enterprise.
00:07:27You will help me, of course.
00:07:30Of course.
00:07:31My crew mutinied.
00:07:33The first use I will make of the Enterprise is to hunt them down and punish them for that.
00:07:40The crew of the Enterprise will also mutinied.
00:07:44But they won't.
00:07:47You see, Captain, there's a helpful technique I've mastered.
00:07:50Goodbye, darling.
00:08:02I'll miss you.
00:08:03Goodbye, darling.
00:08:04I'll miss you.
00:08:16Do you know, Corey?
00:08:18I'll leave you.
00:08:20All right.
00:08:22There is no help for any of us if that madman is in command of the Enterprise.
00:08:29He boasts that he's created the most powerful explosive in the universe.
00:08:35And I believe him.
00:08:37How's he managed to change form at will?
00:08:40The people of Antos taught him the techniques of cellular metamorphosis
00:08:45to restore the destroyed parts of his body.
00:08:49By himself, he later learned to use the technique to recreate himself into any form he wished.
00:08:59The first time we knew about it was when a guard,
00:09:03seeing what he thought was me in Garth's cell, released him.
00:09:08He was such a genius.
00:09:14What a waste.
00:09:18Horse fills off.
00:09:19Good.
00:09:20Remain here out of sight until I give you the order to join me.
00:09:22Kirk's Enterprise.
00:09:32Scott here, sir.
00:09:35Beam me aboard.
00:09:36Aye, sir.
00:09:38Queen to Queen's level three.
00:09:40I said beam me aboard.
00:09:41I said Queen to Queen's level three.
00:09:43We have no time for chest problems.
00:09:47Beam me aboard.
00:09:48I'm following your orders, Captain.
00:09:54Queen to Queen's level three.
00:09:58Just testing.
00:10:01Be in touch with you later.
00:10:02Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:03Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:04Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:05Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:06Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:07Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:08Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:09Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:10Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:11Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:12Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:13Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:14Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:15Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:16Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:17Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:18Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:19Queen to Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:20Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:21Queen to Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:22Queen to Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:23Queen to Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:24Queen to Queen to Queen's level three.
00:10:25Oh, oh, oh.
00:10:55I gave him a sign.
00:11:03Why didn't he give me the countersign?
00:11:06Something's wrong.
00:11:07Using the chest problem was the captain's own suggestion.
00:11:11He couldn't have forgotten it, and I can't believe he was testing me.
00:11:15Lieutenant, reestablish communication.
00:11:18Aye, sir.
00:11:22There's no response, Mr. Scott.
00:11:25Send an arm detail to the transporter room immediately.
00:11:29Aye, aye, sir.
00:11:38Mr. Sulu, what do your sensors show?
00:11:42We can't beam anybody down, sir.
00:11:44The force field on the planet is in full operation,
00:11:47and all forms of transport into the asylum dome are blocked off.
00:11:51Well, we could blast our way through the field,
00:11:54but only at the risk of destroying the captain, Mr. Spock,
00:11:58and any other living thing on Elba, too.
00:12:02How can we be powerful enough to wipe out a planet
00:12:05and still be so hapless?
00:12:06We are going to take the Enterprise.
00:12:23Do you hear me?
00:12:25We are going to take her.
00:12:29We are going to shatter every bone in Captain Kirk's body.
00:12:35Captain?
00:12:44Captain Kirk?
00:12:46Captain Kirk?
00:12:52Well, I hope you haven't been too uncomfortable, Captain.
00:12:55I thank you for your concern.
00:12:56All and all, it's been rather rustling.
00:12:58Good.
00:13:00Still, I'm afraid I've been quite remiss in my duties as your host.
00:13:04But I did invite you down to dinner, as you may recall.
00:13:07I've forgotten.
00:13:09But I haven't.
00:13:11You and Mr. Spock are to be my guests.
00:13:14Where is Mr. Spock?
00:13:15Right here.
00:13:17Martyr?
00:13:17Why can't I blow off just one of his ears?
00:13:30Stop that, Martyr.
00:13:32Mr. Spock will think we're lacking in hospitality.
00:13:36Won't you join us, Captain?
00:13:42How are you, Mr. Spock?
00:13:43Very well indeed.
00:13:44Thank you, Captain.
00:13:45Isn't Governor Corey joining us?
00:13:49No, the governor doesn't seem to be on the guest list.
00:13:52Oh, an oversight?
00:13:53An intentional one.
00:13:55The governor's fasting.
00:13:57In that case, we must decline with thanks.
00:14:00Captain?
00:14:04Don't be a fool, Jim.
00:14:06Go along with him.
00:14:07Good advice, Governor.
00:14:10Well, Captain.
00:14:11You'll find we set a handsome table.
00:14:17And the entertainment is most enjoyable.
00:14:22You're very persuasive.
00:14:24Yes, I am.
00:14:26I certainly am.
00:14:28Keep your hands off, Kirk.
00:14:51You treacherous thing.
00:14:53You're jealous.
00:14:57I am above that sort of thing.
00:15:00The captain is annoyed by your tensions, that's all.
00:15:05Am I annoying you, dearest?
00:15:08Not really.
00:15:09He finds me fascinating.
00:15:14And you're bothered by it.
00:15:15Admit it.
00:15:17I may have you beaten to death.
00:15:20No, you won't.
00:15:21Because I am the most beautiful woman on this planet.
00:15:26You're the only woman on this planet, you stupid cow.
00:15:29Well, I'm the most beautiful woman in this galaxy.
00:15:32You're repulsive.
00:15:34I'm beautiful.
00:15:36And I'm intelligent, too.
00:15:39I write poetry.
00:15:41And I paint marvelous pictures.
00:15:45And I am a wonderful dancer.
00:15:49Lies, more lies.
00:15:52You are the greatest liar I have ever met.
00:15:55Let me hear one poem you've written.
00:16:01If you like.
00:16:05Captain, if you could create a diversion, I might be able to find the control room and open the force field.
00:16:10All we need is a few seconds, if Scotty has alerted the security details.
00:16:15Gentlemen, courtesy for the performer.
00:16:18Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
00:16:25Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
00:16:29Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
00:16:33And summer's lease hath all to see.
00:16:35You wrote that?
00:16:37Yesterday, as a matter of fact.
00:16:39It was written by an earthman named Shakespeare a long time ago.
00:16:44Which does not own to the fact that I wrote it again yesterday.
00:16:50I think it's one of my best poems.
00:16:53Don't you?
00:16:55I may kill you with my bare hands!
00:17:03Actually, Captain, she's a superb dancer.
00:17:06Marta, my dear, won't you dance for our guests?
00:17:10That was not a request.
00:17:13That was not a request.
00:17:40Marvelous, isn't she, Captain?
00:17:48Yes.
00:17:50Incredible.
00:17:51What is your reaction, Mr. Spock?
00:17:53I find it mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word.
00:18:01Nostalgic?
00:18:02Yes.
00:18:03It is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school.
00:18:08Of course, the children are not so well-coordinated.
00:18:16That's a great moment.
00:18:17You're welcome, Mr. Spock.
00:18:18I'm very pleased.
00:18:20To hear you.
00:18:21I'm very pleased.
00:19:41Oh, uh, thank you.
00:19:46That's, um, very magnanimous, Odeo.
00:19:50Oh, you'll find that I am magnanimous to my friends and merciless to mine enemies.
00:20:02And I want you, both of you, to be my friends.
00:20:06On what, precisely, is our friendship to be based?
00:20:12Well, upon the firmest of foundations, Mr. Spock.
00:20:15Enlightened self-interest.
00:20:17You, Captain, are second only to me as the finest military commander in the galaxy.
00:20:24That's very flattering.
00:20:25I am primarily an explorer now, Captain Gath.
00:20:33And so have I been.
00:20:35I have charted more new worlds than any man in history.
00:20:38And tried to destroy Antos IV.
00:20:42Why?
00:20:44Well, I could say because they were actively hostile to the Federation.
00:20:48Yes, you could say, but that would be untrue.
00:20:52Agreed.
00:20:53Actually, they were quite harmless, and they made me whole when I was maimed and dying.
00:21:01And in my gratitude, I offered them a galaxy.
00:21:05They rejected me, and I condemned them to death.
00:21:08How could you, a starship fleet captain, believe that a Federation crew would blindly obey your order to destroy the entire Antos race,
00:21:20a people famous for their benevolence and peaceful pursuits?
00:21:24That was my only miscalculation.
00:21:27I had changed.
00:21:30I had risen above this decadent weakness which still has you in its command, by the way, Captain.
00:21:36My crew had not.
00:21:39I couldn't sway them.
00:21:41But my new crew, the men in this room, will obey my orders without question.
00:21:49Gentlemen, you have eyes, but you cannot see.
00:21:55Galaxies surround us.
00:21:58Limitless vistas.
00:21:59And yet, the Federation would have us grub away like some ants on some somewhat larger than usual ant hill.
00:22:10But I am not an insect.
00:22:11I am master of the universe, and I must claim my domain.
00:22:18I agree there was a time when war was necessary, and you were our greatest warrior.
00:22:25I studied your victory at Axanar when I was a cadet.
00:22:28In fact, it still required reading at the academy.
00:22:31As when it should be.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:34But my first visit to Axanar was as a new-fledged cadet on a peace mission.
00:22:41Peace mission!
00:22:42Politicians and weaklings!
00:22:44They were humanitarians and statesmen.
00:22:46And they had a dream.
00:22:48A dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars.
00:22:52A dream that made Mr. Spock and me brothers.
00:22:56Mr. Spock!
00:23:00Do you consider Captain Kirk and yourself brothers?
00:23:05Captain Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion.
00:23:10However, what he says is logical, and I do, in fact, agree with it.
00:23:19Blind!
00:23:22Truly blind!
00:23:23Captain Kirk is your commanding officer.
00:23:28You are his subordinate.
00:23:30And that is all.
00:23:32Oh, yes, Mr. Spock.
00:23:34You are a worthy commander in your own right, and in my fleet, you will surely have a starship to command.
00:23:42Please forgive me, but exactly where is your fleet?
00:23:48Out there.
00:23:50Waiting for me.
00:23:51They will flock to my cause, and for good reason.
00:23:59Limitless power!
00:24:01Limitless wealth!
00:24:03And solar systems ruled by the elite.
00:24:07We, gentlemen, are that elite, and we must take what is rightfully ours from the decadent weaklings that now hold it.
00:24:13Captain Garth.
00:24:15Captain Garth.
00:24:17Lord Garth!
00:24:18As you wish.
00:24:22At any rate, you must be aware of the fact that you are attempting to recreate the disaster which resulted in you becoming an inmate in this place.
00:24:34I was betrayed and treated barbarically.
00:24:38On the contrary, you were treated with justice and with compassion, which you failed to show towards any of your intended victims.
00:24:45Logically, therefore, one must assume...
00:24:48We'll leave this animal!
00:25:00Try some of this wine, Captain.
00:25:03It has a robust, full-bodied flavor, which I'm sure you'll find diverting.
00:25:07Oh, thank you. I prefer to join Mr. Sparrow.
00:25:10And I prefer that you remain here.
00:25:13Marta, my dear.
00:25:20We found you a little divertisement enchanting, didn't we, Captain?
00:25:25But there's much, much more to come.
00:25:27The entertainment has merely begun.
00:25:30By the way, I assume you play chess.
00:25:33Occasionally.
00:25:33So do I.
00:25:34How would you respond to Queen to Queen's level three?
00:25:38I'm sure you're aware that there are an infinite number of countermoves.
00:25:43I'm interested in only one.
00:25:44I can't, for the life of me, imagine which one.
00:25:48The life of me is a phrase well-chosen, Captain.
00:25:51It could literally come to that.
00:25:53Dead, I am of no use to you.
00:25:55But I could make you long for death.
00:25:58Beg for death.
00:25:59In the midnight of November, when the dead man's fair is nigh.
00:26:05And the danger in the valley.
00:26:07And the anger in the sky.
00:26:10I read that this morning.
00:26:12Do you like it?
00:26:14Yes, I think it's very good.
00:26:16Tell him what he wants to know.
00:26:23And we'll go away together.
00:26:26I can't.
00:26:30But you must.
00:26:32I beg of you.
00:26:33No, don't beg, Marta.
00:26:35It's degrading.
00:26:36Queen to Queen's level three, Captain.
00:26:43You will talk freely.
00:26:46That's quite soon.
00:26:47What you see before you, Captain, is my latest invention.
00:27:07Quite ordinary in appearance.
00:27:11Almost primitive, wouldn't you say?
00:27:13Yes, I recognize.
00:27:14It's used for rehabilitation purposes.
00:27:18It helped many men back to health.
00:27:22Appearances can be deceiving.
00:27:25Once it was a part of the rehabilitation process and as such quite painless.
00:27:31And I might add useless too.
00:27:34It made men docile and of no use to me.
00:27:38I've added certain refinements to the use of ultrasonic waves.
00:27:44The chair is no longer painless.
00:27:49Puts the governor in it.
00:28:05Queen to Queen's level three, Captain Kirk.
00:28:07It is, in fact, exquisitely painful, as you will now see.
00:28:19The pain is real and can be prolonged indefinitely because there is no actual destruction of tissue.
00:28:35Summit!
00:28:35Who is, Captain, you have what to ask?
00:28:47Now, as you can see, he has not been harmed physically.
00:28:51Yet the memory of the exquisite torment remains.
00:28:56Queen to Queen's level three, Captain.
00:28:58Queen to Queen.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01Too bad.
00:29:04Remove our distinguished governor, Captain Kirk.
00:29:08No, you mustn't do that.
00:29:13You really are becoming offensive to me, my dear.
00:29:14Don't make it necessary for me to put you in it.
00:29:40Queen to Queen's level three, Captain Kirk.
00:30:05Please, stop it.
00:30:28You want him, don't you?
00:30:30Yes.
00:30:35Badly enough to join him?
00:30:40Listen to me, my Lord Garth.
00:30:43I didn't get him to tell me what you want to know.
00:30:49It might be interesting to have you try.
00:30:50No breakthrough.
00:31:12No, Mr. Scott.
00:31:13Still no response from the planet.
00:31:17Sense the readings.
00:31:18The force field is weakest on the far side of the planet.
00:31:24We can't send down a shuttlecraft carrying a team in environmental suits.
00:31:30It won't work, Scotty.
00:31:32They'd have to cover thousands of miles through poisonous atmosphere before they'd ever reach the asylum.
00:31:38Ah, you're right.
00:31:39But even if they made it, they couldn't carry anything powerful enough to break through the asylum dome.
00:31:44Only the ship herself could do that.
00:31:48Probably killed Jim and Spock.
00:31:51Doctor, they may already be dead.
00:31:54Slowly, darling.
00:32:13Slowly.
00:32:13Slowly.
00:32:14Rest.
00:32:22Is this more of Garth's persuasion, Marta?
00:32:30I told him I'd discover your secret.
00:32:34I lied.
00:32:35I would have told him anything to save you from that torment.
00:32:47I believe you mean that.
00:32:49I do.
00:32:50This is where I've longed to be.
00:33:04I think I knew I loved you from the moment I first saw you.
00:33:07Marta.
00:33:14Marta.
00:33:17I can help you.
00:33:19But I must get to the Enterprise to do that.
00:33:26That's not possible.
00:33:27Yes, it is.
00:33:29It is.
00:33:30So I can get to the control room and remove the force field and Garth is finished.
00:33:42Garth is my leader.
00:33:44He will lead you to destruction.
00:33:47He's already destroyed the medicine that could have helped you.
00:33:54But there's more medicine aboard the ship.
00:33:57I'll help you.
00:34:00But you must wait.
00:34:04You do see that, don't you?
00:34:05Soon your friend Spock will be here and then...
00:34:08Spock?
00:34:09At least I've arranged that much.
00:34:13How did you manage that?
00:34:16A convincing lie told to a guard who finds me...
00:34:20desirable.
00:34:22Darling.
00:34:22Darling.
00:34:27You mustn't stop me.
00:34:54He's my lover and I have to kill him.
00:35:06It seems to have worked out an infallible method for assuring permanent male fidelity.
00:35:13Interesting.
00:35:14I'm very glad to see you.
00:35:16Thank you, Tim.
00:35:17We're now armed.
00:35:18I presume we shall try to reach the control room.
00:35:21Yes, you presume correctly.
00:35:22Okay.
00:35:22Shh.
00:35:24Shh.
00:35:24Shh.
00:35:24Shh.
00:35:24Shh.

00:35:50Shh.
00:35:51THE END
00:36:21THE END
00:36:51Captain, I suggest you return to the ship at once. Your safety is vital to the Enterprise.
00:36:57Waiting for your order, Captain.
00:37:00I'll also request permission to remain here in charge of the security team's beam down.
00:37:05Very well.
00:37:06Still waiting, Captain.
00:37:07Mr. Scott, the Captain's life is in immediate danger. Beam him aboard at once. The security team will be entrusted to me.
00:37:17Queen to Queen's level three. Repeat. Queen to Queen's level three.
00:37:22He's waiting for the proper reply, Captain.
00:37:29Give the countersign as ordered.
00:37:36Scotty and Mr. Spock will give the countersign.
00:37:39Give him the countersign, Captain.
00:37:49Security detail. Stand by to beam down.
00:37:53Blast away, Captain.
00:38:02You can.
00:38:05You think I'm fool enough to give you a charged phaser?
00:38:08Double Spock. Where is he?
00:38:24I have done nothing with him as of yet.
00:38:26I do have plans for him.
00:38:28The Vulcan will die rather horribly, and his death will be on your conscience.
00:38:41Captain Garth.
00:38:42Lord Garth!
00:38:43No, sir.
00:38:46Captain Garth.
00:38:48Starship.
00:38:50Fleet Captain.
00:38:52That's an honorable title.
00:38:55And I was the greatest of them all, wasn't I?
00:38:59Yes, you were.
00:39:02Yes.
00:39:07But you're a sick man now, sir.
00:39:09I have never been more healthy.
00:39:11No.
00:39:12No, think.
00:39:13Think back to what you were
00:39:16before the accident that sent you to Anthos 4.
00:39:23Try.
00:39:26I can't remember.
00:39:28It's almost as if I had died
00:39:30and was reborn.
00:39:32Oh, I...
00:39:34I can remember.
00:39:37You were the finest student at the Academy.
00:39:44The finest starship captain.
00:39:48You were the prototype.
00:39:50The model for the rest of us.
00:39:52Yes, I do remember that.
00:39:55It was a great responsibility.
00:40:00The one I was proud to bear.
00:40:02And the disease that changed you, it's not your fault.
00:40:15And the terrible things you did since then,
00:40:18I'm not truly responsible.
00:40:20I don't want to hear any more.
00:40:23You're weak.
00:40:24And you're trying to drain me of my strength.
00:40:26No, I'm not.
00:40:28I want you to find what you once had.
00:40:30I want you to go back to the greatness
00:40:32that you've lost, Captain Knight.
00:40:34I am Lord Goth.
00:40:37Master of the universe.
00:40:41You doubt me only because I have not,
00:40:43as of yet, had my coronation.
00:40:45No, sir.
00:40:46Listen to me.
00:40:47Stop!
00:40:47I will be able to stop on your knees before me.
00:40:55All the others before me have failed.
00:40:58Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Lee Kwan, Crotus.
00:41:06All of them are dust.
00:41:10But I will triumph.
00:41:11I will make the ultimate conquest.
00:41:41The throne must be higher.
00:41:46It must be higher than anything else in this room.
00:41:50Use that table as a pedestal.
00:41:53Ah.
00:41:54Welcome back, Captain Kirk.
00:41:56I'm glad you could make it for the coronation.
00:42:00Coronation?
00:42:01Yes.
00:42:03Oh, I know that even a real throne
00:42:05is no more than merely a chair,
00:42:07but the symbolism is important.
00:42:10Don't you agree?
00:42:10Yes, I agree.
00:42:12You'll wear a crown, too, I presume.
00:42:15Well, again, just as a token,
00:42:17not impressive in itself,
00:42:18but it will serve as a standard
00:42:20around which our followers will rally.
00:42:23Garth, you have only a handful of men.
00:42:27You do refuse to enter
00:42:28into the spirit of the thing,
00:42:30don't you, Captain?
00:42:32Perhaps you'd like a larger role in the ceremony.
00:42:36You could serve as human sacrifice, for example.
00:42:38No, I wouldn't enjoy that at all.
00:42:42Besides, you seem to need me alive.
00:42:44No, not true.
00:42:45All right.
00:42:47Ah.
00:42:49Have a crown prince.
00:42:51That would make you our heir apparent.
00:42:53Heir apparent, I believe,
00:42:55is the proper role for you.
00:42:57Besides, we have other candidates
00:42:59for our human sacrifice.
00:43:02Who knows?
00:43:04We're ready.
00:43:35Well, since there is no one mighty enough
00:43:40to perform this ceremony,
00:43:41we'll perform it ourselves.
00:43:45Therefore,
00:43:46we hereby proclaim that I am
00:43:49Lord Garth,
00:43:51Master of the Universe.
00:43:52And we designate our beloved Martyr
00:43:59to be our consort.
00:44:08And we further designate Captain James Kirk
00:44:12of the Starship Enterprise
00:44:14to be our heir apparent.
00:44:24And now remove our heir apparent
00:44:50that we may conclude this ceremony.
00:44:54This may be our last chance.
00:45:24Garth will destroy all of us unless you help me stop him.
00:45:29And he's using you, you know, because he wants the power for himself.
00:45:34I brought something down here that might have cured you, but he destroyed it.
00:45:38If I could get a patrol down here, then bring some more of that...
00:45:42Well done.
00:45:51Come on.
00:45:55Well, Captain, continue to resist.
00:45:58How stupid are you?
00:46:00Put him in that chair right here.
00:46:03I've arranged a small entertainment.
00:46:06I would not miss any of it.
00:46:09Well, Captain, even you must admit that I'm a genius.
00:46:21What you see here is my latest invention.
00:46:24This is an explosive.
00:46:26The most powerful one in history.
00:46:30If I were to drop this flask, the resulting explosion would vaporize this planet.
00:46:37Now do you see why it is ridiculous for you to resist me, Captain?
00:46:43Well, perhaps you require the demonstration of her aim.
00:46:56Watch closely.
00:46:58Now it is true that she is deadly as a poisonous serpent.
00:47:03But she is also a beautiful woman.
00:47:06And you have held her in your arms, Captain.
00:47:14I've ordered my men to drive her out of the protected dome.
00:47:18And, of course, she would choke to death on the outside in a matter of minutes.
00:47:24But I've arranged a more merciful end for her.
00:47:28Because, after all, Captain, she is my console.
00:47:35One tiny crystal implanted in her neck.
00:47:39A portion of this explosive no bigger than a grain of sand.
00:47:45I propose to detonate it from here.
00:47:58Oh, poor girl.
00:48:03Poor, dear, suffering child.
00:48:08I will help her now.
00:48:13I will help her now.
00:48:15There's been an explosion on Alpha 2.
00:48:209-5.
00:48:21Must have wiped out everything.
00:48:22Immediate flow.
00:48:23Is the force field in place, Mr. Sulu?
00:48:24Yes, sir.
00:48:25Solidly.
00:48:26Life continues to exist on the planet.
00:48:27Gotta break through it somehow.
00:48:28Doctor.
00:48:29I told you.
00:48:30I told you.
00:48:31I told you.
00:48:32You told me.
00:48:33You told me.
00:48:34You told me.
00:48:35You told me.
00:48:36You told me.
00:48:37You told me.
00:48:38What?
00:48:399-5.
00:48:40You must have wiped out everything.
00:48:43Immediate flow.
00:48:44Is the force field in place, Mr. Sulu?
00:48:47Yes, sir.
00:48:48Solidly.
00:48:49Life continues to exist on the planet.
00:48:52Gotta break through it somehow.
00:48:54Doctor.
00:48:55I told you.
00:48:56We couldn't do it without killing everyone in the asylum dome.
00:48:59I know it, Scotty.
00:49:00Well, there's one last thing we might try.
00:49:04Perhaps the ship's phasers can cut through a section of the force field at its weakest point.
00:49:13Where did you say that was located, Mr. Sulu?
00:49:16On the far side of the planet, Mr. Scott.
00:49:18Will it leave a margin of safety for the people below?
00:49:21Yes, sir.
00:49:22Prepare to change orbital path, Mr. Sulu.
00:49:25Orbital coordinates released, sir.
00:49:28Break synchronous orbit.
00:49:30Come to course 1-4, mark 6-8.
00:49:37Course 1-4, mark 6-8.
00:49:41Synchronous orbit reestablish, sir.
00:49:44Ship's phasers to narrow beam.
00:49:47Ship's phasers ready, sir.
00:49:49Let's punch a hole in it.
00:49:50Full power.
00:49:51Another blast.
00:49:52Full power.
00:49:57Another blast.
00:49:58Full power.
00:50:05Force field's still holding, sir.
00:50:06Here.
00:50:07How are your nerves, Kirk?
00:50:21All I can say, Garth.
00:50:22If it happens to me, it happens to you.
00:50:23You're an extraordinary fellow, Kirk.
00:50:24Your stubbornness defies all logic.
00:50:25Logic.
00:50:26There's the key.
00:50:27Your friend, Spock is a logical man.
00:50:28A very logical man.
00:50:32Go and bring the Vulcan here to me.
00:50:33Go and bring the Vulcan here to me.
00:50:39...
00:50:52...
00:50:54...
00:50:58...
00:51:02...
00:52:06Spock is not only a more logical man than you, Captain, he's a more intelligent one, I'm sure.
00:52:22I shall establish a rapport with him.
00:52:27Spock is not only a more logical man than you, Captain, he's a very ingenious fellow.
00:52:48This could be most amusing.
00:52:50That's Garth.
00:52:58Stun him.
00:53:00Hold it, Spock.
00:53:02That's Garth.
00:53:04Look at me carefully, Spock.
00:53:18What?
00:53:19Can't you tell I'm your captain?
00:53:21Queen to Queen's level three.
00:53:23I won't answer that.
00:53:26That's exactly what he wants to know.
00:53:28Very clever, Garth.
00:53:30That's exactly what I was going to say.
00:53:34What are you doing?
00:53:35Arranging to beam down a security team.
00:53:39Are there any objections?
00:53:41Yes.
00:53:42They may walk into a trap.
00:53:46That's right.
00:53:47Garth can destroy us.
00:53:49Fascinating.
00:53:50What maneuver did we use to defeat the Romulan vessel near Tau Ceti?
00:54:00Very good, Spock.
00:54:02The Cochran deceleration.
00:54:04Spock, you know the Cochran deceleration is a classic battle maneuver.
00:54:11Every starship captain knows that.
00:54:14Agreed, Captain.
00:54:17Captains.
00:54:22Gentlemen,
00:54:24whichever one of you is Captain Garth,
00:54:29must at this moment be expending a great deal of energy
00:54:32to maintain the image of Captain Kirk.
00:54:34That energy level cannot be maintained indefinitely,
00:54:39and I have time.
00:54:47And it is only the first time,
00:54:50this might just take this place.
00:54:51But what this looks like?
00:54:52Sh buraya ma...
00:54:53What is he saying?
00:54:54This isn't low ,
00:54:56I have time for you to gain the fact.
00:54:57Take this Lei.
00:54:58Come on.
00:54:59On the other hand.
00:55:00Have sh teased one.
00:55:01This do not take this.
00:55:02I can worst you ahead of time.
00:55:03license yourivable.
00:55:05Please do not make it sao't you?
00:55:06или нет.
00:55:07courtно,
00:55:08or is the mayor Serve of Captain Garth.
00:55:09Reality
00:55:11I am25 Sort.
00:55:12Oh, God.
00:55:42I'm your captain, Spock.
00:55:47That you tell?
00:55:48Shoot!
00:55:49Shoot!
00:55:52Right, Spock.
00:55:53You must shoot.
00:55:54But you must shoot both of us.
00:55:56It's the only way to ensure the safety of the Enterprise.
00:56:12Captain Kirk, I presume.
00:56:18Mr. Spock.
00:56:26Spock to Enterprise.
00:56:28Enterprise here.
00:56:30Queen to Queen's Level 3.
00:56:32Queen to King's Level 1.
00:56:34Will intramuscular injection be satisfactory?
00:56:42Intravenous is indicated unless circumstances make it impossible.
00:56:47How long before it takes effect, Dr. McCoy?
00:56:51Reversal of arterial and brain damage should begin almost immediately.
00:56:56Captain Garth.
00:57:16I'm James Kirk.
00:57:21I'm Mr. Spock.
00:57:23Science officer on a starship.
00:57:28Starship Enterprise.
00:57:31Starship.
00:57:35Starship.
00:57:37Yes, sir.
00:57:37The Enterprise.
00:57:38I'm the captain.
00:57:54Can I help you?
00:57:55No, captain.
00:57:57The medicine seems to be taking effect.
00:58:00I can manage.
00:58:01It's very encouraging.
00:58:08Should I know you, sir?
00:58:17No.
00:58:19Captain.
00:58:21No.
00:58:30Mr. Spock.
00:58:31Yes, captain.
00:58:33Tell me something.
00:58:35Why was it so impossible to tell the difference between us?
00:58:38It was not impossible, captain.
00:58:41Our presence here is proof of that.
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:44And congratulations.
00:58:48What took you so long?
00:58:50The interval of uncertainty was actually fairly brief, captain.
00:58:55It only seemed long to you.
00:58:59I was waiting for a victor in the hand-to-hand struggle,
00:59:02which I assumed would be Captain Garth.
00:59:04because of your depleted condition.
00:59:10Failing a resolution to the struggle,
00:59:13I was forced to use other means to make my determination.
00:59:19I see.
00:59:22Mr. Spock,
00:59:23letting yourself be hit on the head,
00:59:27and I presume you let yourself be hit on the head,
00:59:32is not exactly a method King Solomon would have approved.
00:59:38Mr. Scott,
00:59:39ready to beam up.
00:59:41Aye, aye, son.
00:59:42Aye, aye.
00:59:43Not all.
00:59:46Aye.
00:59:49Yes, sir,
00:59:56No.
00:59:56No.
00:59:57No.
00:59:58No.
00:59:59No.
00:59:59No.
01:00:00No.
01:00:01No.
01:00:01No.
01:00:03No.
01:00:04No.
