00:00:00It has been attacked by a bacterial invasion which threatens to render it lifeless unless checked.
00:00:09Our mission to decontaminate it.
00:00:13Mr. Chekhov, an estimated time of arrival for Arianus?
00:00:17At present speed, our ETA is 3 hours 4 minutes, sir.
00:00:22Dr. Hura, advise the planet's Ministry of Health that we'll begin decontamination procedures immediately upon locking into orbit.
00:00:31Aye, aye, sir.
00:00:33Scotty, will that present any problems for you?
00:00:35None, sir. All tanks are being positioned.
00:00:37Captain, sensors indicate a space vehicle of some sort ahead.
00:00:41Is it within visual range?
00:00:43Coming into range now, sir.
00:00:45Following a very erratic course.
00:00:49What is on the screen? Extreme magnification.
00:00:51I think that may be a Starfleet shuttlecraft, sir.
00:01:01That is exactly what it is, Mr. Chekhov.
00:01:04It looks like the one reporter stolen from Starbase 4 two weeks ago.
00:01:08Lieutenant Hura, try to contact them on Command Frequency 2.
00:01:12Aye, Captain.
00:01:21There is one living creature aboard.
00:01:34Humanoid.
00:01:35He is either injured or ill.
00:01:38The craft shows internal atmospheric leakage.
00:01:42The creature may be suffocating.
00:01:44Lieutenant Sulu, activate tractor beams.
00:01:46The factory beams activated.
00:01:50We have it, sir.
00:01:51Try to bring it aboard the hangar deck.
00:01:53Aye, sir.
00:01:53Lieutenant Hura, send a security team to the pressure doors on the hangar deck.
00:01:56Aye, sir.
00:01:57Mr. Spock, come with me.
00:01:59Scotty?
00:01:59Yes.
00:01:59Hangar doors open and clear for entrance of shuttlecraft.
00:02:13Shuttlecraft approaching the hangar deck.
00:02:15Bridge to Captain Kirk.
00:02:26Per here.
00:02:27Hangar doors are closed and the hangar deck is pressurizing.
00:02:30Acknowledged.
00:02:31We'll enter as soon as the door is open.
00:02:48We'll go on my command.
00:02:50We'll enter as soon as the door is open.
00:03:20Space, a final frontier.
00:03:33These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
00:03:39Its five-year mission to explore strange new worlds.
00:03:44To seek out new life and new civilizations.
00:03:47To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:03:52To be��
00:04:00Because the rescue
00:04:04But the love and new civilizations have gone before.
00:04:09But the latter stages have gone before.
00:04:12The moon has gone before
00:04:13The moon was born before.
00:04:16We'll enter as soon as the好 have with me.
00:04:17By the way the future has gone before.
00:04:19You are certain, Doctor, that this pigmentation
00:04:49is the natural condition of this individual.
00:04:52That's what I've recorded, Mr. Spock.
00:04:55Do we have any knowledge of a planet
00:04:58that could have produced such a race of beings?
00:05:01Negative, Captain.
00:05:03Bones, what do you make of it?
00:05:05Well, I can't give you any specific circumstance
00:05:07that will explain him.
00:05:09Judging by looking at him, we know at the very least
00:05:11he is the result of a very dramatic conflict, Spock.
00:05:17There is no theory, Captain, from the basic work of Mandel
00:05:21to the most recent nucleotide studies
00:05:23which would explain our captive.
00:05:25All gradations of color, from black to brown to yellow to white,
00:05:30are genetically predictable.
00:05:32We must therefore conclude that this alien
00:05:36is that often unaccountable rarity,
00:05:41a mutation, one of a kind.
00:05:43Yes, I would agree that's the case here.
00:05:47Your prognosis, Doctor?
00:05:49Well, I can't give you one, Jim.
00:05:50I've never worked on anyone like him or anything like him.
00:05:54Yet you are pumping him full of your noxious potions
00:05:57as if you were a human.
00:06:00When in doubt, the book prevails, Mr. Spock.
00:06:04I've run tests.
00:06:05Blood is blood.
00:06:06Even when it's green like yours,
00:06:08the organs are there.
00:06:10They're rearranged to a degree,
00:06:12plus a few I've never seen before.
00:06:15Now, I've enriched the oxygen content of his blood
00:06:18and pumped in a strong stimulant.
00:06:23And I must say,
00:06:24his recuperative powers appear to be excellent.
00:06:28With your permission, Captain,
00:06:30I shall do some further research
00:06:31and join you on the bridge.
00:06:32He's coming around, Doctor.
00:06:40Wow.
00:06:43Touch and go there for a minute,
00:06:45but you're out of danger now.
00:06:46You're aboard the Starship Enterprise.
00:06:58I've heard of it.
00:07:00It's in the United Fleet of Planets.
00:07:04Federation.
00:07:06So was the shuttlecraft that you were flying in.
00:07:09It was?
00:07:11Don't you usually know
00:07:13whose property you've stolen?
00:07:16I am not a thief.
00:07:18Well, certainly no ordinary thief,
00:07:21considering what it is you appropriated.
00:07:25You're being very loose with your accusations
00:07:27and drawing conclusions without any facts.
00:07:31Well, I do know that you made off
00:07:34with a ship that didn't belong to you.
00:07:36I do not make off with things.
00:07:38My need gave me the right to use the ship.
00:07:41Mark the word, sir.
00:07:43The use of it.
00:07:44You can try those technical evasions
00:07:47on Starfleet Command.
00:07:49That's where you'll be facing your charges.
00:07:52I'm grateful for your rescue.
00:07:57Don't mention it.
00:07:59We're pleased to have caught you.
00:08:03Who are you?
00:08:05My name is Loki.
00:08:08Go on.
00:08:09From the planet Charon.
00:08:15That's in the southernmost part of the galaxy.
00:08:18In an uncharted quarter.
00:08:21What are you doing so far from home?
00:08:22You understand that when we complete our mission,
00:08:29we'll take you to Starbase,
00:08:32where you'll face a very serious charge.
00:08:34The charge is trifling.
00:08:36I would have returned the ship as soon as I...
00:08:40What were you going to do?
00:08:43You monotone humans are all alike.
00:08:46First you condemn and then attack.
00:08:48I will answer no more questions.
00:08:54Well, however we view him, Captain,
00:08:57he's certainly an ordinary specimen.
00:09:00Well, look, I don't know what's normal for you exactly,
00:09:04but if I had your readings,
00:09:05I would be the most incredible physical specimen of all time.
00:09:11We've never encountered a being like you.
00:09:13I'd like to know more about you and your planet.
00:09:17I'm very tired.
00:09:19And very evasive.
00:09:21Or at least not fully responsive.
00:09:25Now then.
00:09:26I insist.
00:09:27I'm extremely tired.
00:09:28Made so by your vindictive cross-examinations.
00:09:33I will answer no more questions.
00:09:42Lieutenant Uhura.
00:09:43Lieutenant Uhura here.
00:09:45Notifies to our base four that we've recovered its shuttlecraft
00:09:49and it will be returned along with its user
00:09:53as soon as we've completed our mission at Arianus.
00:09:56Aye, sir.
00:09:58Oh, Bones, if you're satisfied that the mutation theory is applicable,
00:10:03I'll make a note of it in my report.
00:10:05Unless we get more information from him,
00:10:07that'll have to serve.
00:10:08Hercule.
00:10:13Captain, contact with alien ship, sir.
00:10:16I'll be right there.
00:10:17Notify Mr. Spock.
00:10:30Put the ship on the viewing screen, Mr. Spock.
00:10:32Magnification.
00:10:40Still nothing, Mr. Chekow.
00:10:43I would if I said it.
00:10:45It's out there.
00:10:46Maximum magnification.
00:11:02I draw a blank, Mr. Spock.
00:11:04Your response?
00:11:05Negative, Captain.
00:11:06No malfunction, sir.
00:11:08The reading persists.
00:11:18What is it?
00:11:18There is a vessel out there, Captain.
00:11:22Could it be a Romulan ship using their cloaking device?
00:11:26Negative.
00:11:26This would not be a Romulan vessel.
00:11:28It is totally alien in configuration.
00:11:32Motive power unknown.
00:11:34Small size of the craft indicates a rapid scout vessel.
00:11:40One or two-man crew.
00:11:41Emergency condition.
00:11:42Emergency condition.
00:11:44Bridge.
00:11:45Emergency condition.
00:11:45Emergency condition.
00:11:47Out of scale.
00:11:48Bridge.
00:11:48Emergency condition.
00:11:50Emergency condition.
00:11:51Emergency condition.
00:11:52Emergency condition.
00:11:52Emergency condition.
00:11:53Control.
00:11:54Emergency condition.
00:11:54Forward.
00:11:55Scans.
00:11:55All motion.
00:11:56Five.
00:11:56Emergency condition.
00:11:57Captain.
00:11:58I've tried all healing frequencies.
00:12:01Negative, sir.
00:12:04Weaponry on the vessel, Spock?
00:12:06Nothing identifiable.
00:12:07The craft appears to be built for speed rather than combat.
00:12:11Something out there can't be seen.
00:12:14Explanation?
00:12:15None.
00:12:16Completely elusive.
00:12:18In fact, it's invisible.
00:12:23Invisible.
00:12:31Malfunction?
00:12:33There is no sense or failure.
00:12:36The readings persist.
00:12:41It's headed straight for us.
00:12:50Base of action.
00:12:57It shifts with us, sir.
00:12:59And we're pushing to the limit.
00:13:03Reflective shields activated, Mr. Sulu.
00:13:06Automatics, sir.
00:13:07We're on collision course.
00:13:09It's out of control of our Swiss side, if she.
00:13:12I'm warning for collision.
00:13:14Red alert.
00:13:27Brace yourself for collision.
00:13:29Brace yourself.
00:13:30Read out, Mr. Spock.
00:13:49It just...
00:13:51disintegrated.
00:13:54Fascinating.
00:13:56What is it now?
00:13:56It is gone now, Captain.
00:13:59But it seems to have deposited an alien presence.
00:14:04Where?
00:14:06Right here, Captain.
00:14:18It's Brian's Brian.
00:14:20One of a kind.
00:14:26One of a kind.
00:14:26I am Beal.
00:14:43The planet Sherrod, no doubt.
00:14:45Forgive my unorthodox arrival.
00:14:48Your mode of travel was also unorthodox.
00:14:52Secure from red alert.
00:14:53What happened to your vehicle?
00:14:58It served me long and durably.
00:15:00Unfortunately, the strain of Archer's pursuit has exceeded even its advanced qualities.
00:15:05I was just able to complete this trip and disembark in time, or I would have disintegrated in space with it.
00:15:15A most unique craft.
00:15:17Pity it couldn't be salvaged for our study.
00:15:19Yes, it was sheathed in the special materials that rendered it invisible.
00:15:25What brings you to us?
00:15:29You bear precious cargo, loci.
00:15:32He's taken refuge aboard this ship.
00:15:34I am here to claim it.
00:15:35All personnel aboard this vessel are subject to my command.
00:15:47No one claims anyone without due process.
00:15:56My apologies, Captain.
00:15:58I overstepped my powers.
00:16:01Claim is undoubtedly an unfortunate word.
00:16:05What is your authorization?
00:16:08From what source?
00:16:09I am chief officer of the Commission on Political Traders.
00:16:13Loki was tried and convicted of treason, but had escaped.
00:16:20May I see him, please?
00:16:22He's in sickbay.
00:16:24Remember, since you're aboard the Enterprise, you're bound by its regulations.
00:16:32With your permission, Captain.
00:16:40Mr. Spock?
00:16:41Well, Mokai, it's a pleasure to see you again.
00:17:07This time, I'm sure our joining will be of a more permanent nature.
00:17:17Captain, you ought to be congratulated.
00:17:19Never before has Loki been rendered so quiescent.
00:17:25I will not return to Sharon with him, to a land of murdering oppressors.
00:17:30I told you where you were going.
00:17:31I allowed your fellow countrymen here, simply as a courtesy.
00:17:38And you see how this killer repays you, as he repays all his benefactors.
00:17:46Benefactors?
00:17:47He's a liar.
00:17:49He raided our homes, tore us from our families, herded us together like cattle, and then sold us as slaves.
00:17:57They were savages, Captain.
00:17:58We took them into our hearts, our homes.
00:18:01We educated them.
00:18:03Yes.
00:18:04Just education enough to serve the master race.
00:18:08You were the product of our love.
00:18:11You repaid us with murder.
00:18:14Why should a slave show mercy to the enslaver?
00:18:17Slaves?
00:18:19That was changed thousands of years ago.
00:18:23You were freed.
00:18:24Freed?
00:18:24Were we free to be men?
00:18:30Free to be husbands and fathers?
00:18:34Free to live our lives in equality and dignity?
00:18:38Yes, you were free if you knew how to use your freedom.
00:18:41You were free enough to slaughter and to burn all the things that had been built.
00:18:45Look, I tried to break the chains of a hundred million people.
00:18:50My only crime is that I failed.
00:18:52To that I do plead guilty.
00:18:54There is an order in things.
00:18:56He asks for utopia in a day.
00:19:02It can't be done.
00:19:05Not in a day.
00:19:07And not in ten times ten thousand years, by your thinking.
00:19:11To you, we are a loathsome breed who will never be ready.
00:19:15Genocide for my people is the plan for your utopia.
00:19:18You little plotter of ruin here.
00:19:22You vicious subverter of every decent thought.
00:19:29You're coming back to pay for your crimes.
00:19:34I know you and all those with whom you are plotting to take power permanently.
00:19:38When I return to Charon, you will understand what power is.
00:19:43I will have armies of followers.
00:19:47It is not very clear that you know each other extremely well, gentlemen.
00:19:54The only service this ship can offer is to bring you together.
00:19:58It is not a battlefield.
00:19:59Captain, I led revolutionaries, not criminals.
00:20:02I demand political asylum.
00:20:04This ship is a sanctuary.
00:20:05I'll tell you once more.
00:20:09For you, this ship is a prison.
00:20:12Captain, it is imperative that you return Lokai to Charon for judgment.
00:20:22Commissioner Charon is not a member of the Federation.
00:20:25No treaties have ever been signed.
00:20:27Your demand for possession of this prisoner cannot be honored.
00:20:32There are no extradition procedures to allow it.
00:20:35Is that clear, Commissioner Beale?
00:20:39Captain, I hope you will be sensible.
00:20:43How do you mean?
00:20:44Cooperation.
00:20:45I cannot take sides.
00:20:47Since I am without a vessel to return to Charon, I insist that you take us there immediately.
00:20:57Impossible.
00:20:58I have a mission to accomplish.
00:20:59There is a planet to be decontaminated.
00:21:01Millions of lives are at stake.
00:21:03Once that has been completed, I will return to Starbase 4 and turn you both over to the authorities.
00:21:09You can make your case to them.
00:21:12I am sorry, Captain.
00:21:14That will not be satisfactory.
00:21:16Not at all satisfactory.
00:21:21Commissioner.
00:21:22As a visiting dignitary from a far planet, I offer you every hospitality aboard this ship.
00:21:32Choose any other course.
00:21:35You're the captain.
00:21:36Yes, I am.
00:21:41I think we can consider your problem settled.
00:21:50At least for the present.
00:21:52I have ordered guest quarters for you on deck six.
00:22:06I suggest you get a great deal of rest, especially your vocal cords.
00:22:13It seems you'll have a double opportunity to practice your oratory on Starbase 4.
00:22:22Check off to Captain Kirk.
00:22:26Check off to Captain Kirk.
00:22:28Urgent.
00:22:30Kirk here.
00:22:31Captain, we're off course.
00:22:33Well, get back on course.
00:22:35That's just it, sir.
00:22:36The ship's taken under heading off by itself.
00:22:41I'll be right there.
00:22:52Have you located the malfunction?
00:23:08No, sir.
00:23:08The ship is unresponsive.
00:23:10We're moving away from Ariadne's.
00:23:12Explanation, Mr. Spark.
00:23:14Elusive, Captain.
00:23:15I am investigating.
00:23:17I can't understand it.
00:23:18I simply have no control.
00:23:21Kirk to engineering.
00:23:23Spot here.
00:23:24Scotty, we're suddenly off course.
00:23:26Check out maneuvering controls.
00:23:27All right, sir.
00:23:28Hold.
00:23:33Captain.
00:23:35No malfunction indicated.
00:23:37Switch to auxiliary.
00:23:39All right, sir.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:40Out.
00:23:48And you need a bridge.
00:23:57Kirk here.
00:23:58On auxiliary, sir.
00:24:00Stand by for check.
00:24:15Scotty, we're still off course.
00:24:17I'll be right up.
00:24:18Speed must check up.
00:24:20We're moving at warp eight.
00:24:22And you, of course?
00:24:23403 Mark 70.
00:24:25Straight for the call sack if there is no letter.
00:24:28Lieutenant Aura, put the ship on red alert.
00:24:34Oh, Hans, this is the captain.
00:24:36The ship is on red alert.
00:24:37Repeat, the ship is on red alert.
00:24:40There has been an unidentified malfunction in the ship's directional control.
00:24:48Repeat.
00:24:49The ship is off course and out of all control.
00:25:01Are you heading, Mr. Chekhov?
00:25:04403 Mark 7.
00:25:08What?
00:25:09Confirm, Captain.
00:25:11Holding pattern.
00:25:12Coordinates now indicate we are charting course.
00:25:16Captain.
00:25:18Charon lies between 403 Mark 7 and Mark 9.
00:25:23We are on the way to Charon.
00:25:29Captain, this ship is now under my direction.
00:25:33For 50,000 of your terrestrial years, I have been pursuing Loci through the galaxy.
00:25:45I have not traveled this far, this long, only to give him up now.
00:25:49This ship goes where my will drives it.
00:25:53Captain.
00:25:54We are now at warp 10 and the speed is increasing.
00:26:00Captain.
00:26:01The course is now clearly straight for Charon, despite all efforts to direct us to Arianus.
00:26:08I will not return to Charon.
00:26:10Captain, you must guarantee me sanctuary.
00:26:13He cannot help you now.
00:26:14You are lost, Loci.
00:26:16You are on the way to judgment, to final punishment.
00:26:19Stop it.
00:26:20Not this time, you evil mound of filth.
00:26:23Not this time.
00:26:25My cause is just.
00:26:26You must help me.
00:26:27All of you must help me.
00:26:29Oh, the old cry, pity me, pity me.
00:26:33Everywhere he's gone, he's been helped to escape.
00:26:36On every planet, he has found fools who bleed for him and shed tears for the oppressed one.
00:26:43But there is no escape for you on this ship.
00:26:46This is your last sanctuary.
00:26:50Kill him.
00:26:51Kill him!
00:26:53You're two of a kind.
00:26:55And we are both going to Charon.
00:26:57You cannot change the course of this ship any more than you can change me.
00:27:01This ship goes where I want it to go.
00:27:06Security, put them both in the brig.
00:27:19Phasers on sun.
00:27:22Fire.
00:27:22Your phasers are ineffective against our shields.
00:27:33You are helpless, Captain.
00:27:35What a fool I am.
00:27:38Expecting help from someone like you.
00:27:40This ship is going to Arianus.
00:27:49No.
00:27:50This ship is going to Charon.
00:27:54I will let nothing interfere.
00:27:57We are going to Arianus.
00:28:12The lives of a billion people make no other choice possible.
00:28:15You're being a juice, Captain.
00:28:18I am permitting no choice.
00:28:20My will now controls this, and nothing can break it.
00:28:27Bill.
00:28:28I am captain of this ship, and it will follow whatever course I set for it, or I will order
00:28:37its destruction.
00:28:38You're bluffing me.
00:28:54I will destroy it.
00:28:59You can no more destroy this ship than I can change color.
00:29:11Lieutenant DeHoura, tie in the bridge to the master computer.
00:29:15I see.
00:29:19Computer.
00:29:23Destruct sequence.
00:29:24Are you ready to copy?
00:29:30Working.
00:29:40Prepare to verify destruct sequence code one.
00:29:52Computer.
00:29:54This is Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise.
00:30:03Destruct sequence one.
00:30:06Code one.
00:30:08One A.
00:30:12Voice and code one.
00:30:15One A.
00:30:17Verified and correct.
00:30:20Sequence one complete.
00:30:24Mr. Spock.
00:30:30This is Commander Spock.

00:30:52Verified and correct.
00:30:54Sequence two complete.
00:30:59Mr. Scott.

00:31:35Verified and correct.
00:31:38Destruct sequence completed and engaged.
00:31:42Awaiting final code for 30 seconds countdown.
00:31:55Mr. Spock.
00:31:57Has the ship returned to the course set for it by my orders?
00:32:00Negative, Captain.
00:32:02We are still headed directly for Charon.
00:32:05Destruct sequence engaged.
00:32:08Awaiting final code for 30 seconds countdown.
00:32:13Computer.
00:32:16This is Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise.
00:32:19Begin 30-second countdown.
00:32:25Code zero, zero, zero.
00:32:30Destruct zero.
00:32:4230 seconds.

00:32:4728.
00:32:4927.
00:32:5625 seconds.
00:32:59Let's see you prevent the computer from fulfilling my commands.
00:33:0920 seconds.
00:33:12From five to zero, no command in the universe
00:33:17can prevent the computer from fulfilling its destructors.
00:33:2215 seconds.
00:33:24You can use your will to drag this ship to Charon.
00:33:29But I command the computer.
00:33:33Mine is the final command.
00:33:3510, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 3.
00:33:42Computer.
00:33:43This is Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise.
00:33:47This is Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise.

00:33:58Repeat.
00:33:59Code one, two, three.

00:34:11Order.
00:34:12Aborted.
00:34:14Feastrack.
00:34:15Order.
00:34:16Aborted.
00:34:16Mr. Spock, is this ship headed for Arianna's?
00:34:25Negative, Captain.
00:34:26The Enterprise is now moving in a circular course.
00:34:30And at warp 10, we're going nowhere mighty fast.
00:34:43I warned you of his treachery.
00:34:45Kill him!
00:34:46We're waiting for you to fulfill your commitment, Commissioner.
00:34:53Captain, I am happy to have you complete your mission of mercy to the planet Arianna.
00:34:58It was madness to interfere with such a worthwhile endeavor.
00:35:03But if you will, upon completion, please take me and my traitorous captive to Charon.
00:35:13I make no deals for control of this ship, sir.
00:35:16The ship's course is now in your control.
00:35:34The ship's course is now in your control.
00:35:57The ship's course.
00:35:59Enterprise is now on course to Arianna's, Captain.
00:36:04Speed, Scotty.
00:36:09What, six? I'm smoothly operating, son.
00:36:17Senator Hurk has a red alert.
00:36:19Aye, sir.
00:36:19Let me reaffirm my position, gentlemen.
00:36:22I could put you in the brig for what you've done, but I won't do it.
00:36:26Because you're new to this part of the galaxy,
00:36:28which is governed by the United Federation of Planets,
00:36:34we live in peace with the full exercise of individual rights.
00:36:39The need to resort to violence and force has long since passed,
00:36:44and it will not be tolerated aboard this ship.
00:36:46You are free to move about the ship.
00:36:52I hope that you'll take the opportunity to know more about the Federation
00:36:58through its best representatives, my crew.
00:37:03But let me make it clear.
00:37:04I will stand for no interference with the function of this ship.
00:37:12All hands, return to normal routine.
00:37:15Captain, up.
00:37:15You speak very well, Captain.
00:37:30Your words promise justice for all.
00:37:33You trust.
00:37:34Yes, well, I have learned to wait for actions.
00:37:37After Arianna's, what is justice?
00:37:40I shall wait to see it dispensed.
00:37:49Fascinating.
00:37:51Two irrevocably hostile humanoids.
00:37:55Disgusting is what I call them.
00:37:57That description is not scientifically accurate.
00:38:01Mr. Spock, the word disgusting describes exactly what I feel about those two.
00:38:08That's enough for today.
00:38:11Those two are beginning to affect you.
00:38:13No.
00:38:13And I know from my actions, you must all think me a volcanic hothead.
00:38:27Erupting lava from my nostrils, the danger signals that are only figments of my imagination.
00:38:33But believe me, my friends, there can be no moment when I can have my guard down where such as Veal is present.
00:38:42So what happens?
00:38:44I act the madman out of the anger and frustration he forces upon me.
00:38:50And thereby prove his point that I am a madman.
00:38:54No one knows how he'll react under pressure, Loki.
00:38:57After all, we are only human.
00:39:00Ah, Mr. Treckle, therein lies my lack of ability to alert you and your captain to the real threat of someone like Veal.
00:39:11See, you are from the planet Earth.
00:39:13There is no persecution on your planet.
00:39:17How can you understand my fear, my apprehension, my degradation, my suffering?
00:39:23There was persecution on Earth once.
00:39:26I remember reading about it in my history class.
00:39:29Yes, but it happened way back in the 20th century.
00:39:32There's no such primitive thinking today.
00:39:35You have read about it in history.
00:39:40How can I make your flesh know how it feels to see all those who are like them?
00:39:46And only because they are like them.
00:39:49Despised, slaughtered, and even worse, denied the simplest bit of decency that is a living being's right.
00:39:57Do you know what it would be like to be dragged out of your hovel into a war on another planet?
00:40:04A battle that will serve your oppressor and bring death to you and your brothers.
00:40:09Putting the matter into the hands of your Starfleet command is, of course, the proper procedure.
00:40:28How long will it be before we hear from them, Captain?
00:40:30I expect the answer is already on its way.
00:40:33Well, then let us drink to their wise solution to our problem.
00:40:37That's true.
00:40:39Commissioner, Starfleet command may not arrive at the solution you anticipate.
00:40:44There is the matter of the shuttlecraft which loci appropriated.
00:40:48The interrogation of that matter may be of paramount importance to Starfleet.
00:40:55Gentlemen, we are discussing a question of degree.
00:40:59Surely, stealing a shuttlecraft cannot be equated with the importance of murdering thousands of people.
00:41:06We do not know that loci has done that.
00:41:10One thing we are agreed on is that loci is a criminal.
00:41:15No, Commissioner.
00:41:16The one thing we are agreed upon is that loci took a shuttlecraft.
00:41:19Excuse me.
00:41:20Lieutenant Uhurdi, Captain Kirk.
00:41:23Kirk here.
00:41:24I have a communication from Starfleet command, sir.
00:41:27Yes, read it.
00:41:27Starfleet command extends greetings to Commissioner Beale of the planet Charon.
00:41:35His urgent request to be transported to his planet with the man he claims prisoner has been taken under consideration.
00:41:45It is with great regret that we cannot honor that request.
00:41:50Intergalactic treaty clearly specifies that no being can be extradited without due process.
00:41:57In view of the circumstances, we have no doubt that after a hearing at Starbase,
00:42:02Commissioner Beale will be permitted to retain his prisoner and will be provided transportation...
00:42:08That's enough.
00:42:13As always, loci has managed to gain allies.
00:42:17Now, wait a minute, Commissioner.
00:42:20Even if they don't recognize themselves as being such,
00:42:22Yes, he will evade, delay, and escape again,
00:42:28and in the process put thousands of innocent beings at each other's throats,
00:42:34getting them to kill and maim for a cause which they have no stake in,
00:42:38but which he will force them to violently espouse by twisting their minds with his lies,
00:42:45his loathsome accusations, and his foul threats.
00:42:52I can assure you, Commissioner, that our minds will not be twisted, not by loci, nor by you.
00:43:00It is obvious to the most simple-minded that loci is of an inferior breed.
00:43:05The obvious visual evidence, Commissioner, is that he is of the same breed as yourself.
00:43:14Are you blind, Commander Spock?
00:43:17Look at me.
00:43:21Look at me.
00:43:23You're black on one side and white on the other.
00:43:27I am black on the right side.
00:43:29I am black on the right side.
00:43:35I fail to see the significant difference.
00:43:39Loci is white on the right side.
00:43:41All of his people are white on the right side.
00:43:50Commissioner, perhaps the experience of my own planet Vulcan may set an example of some value to you.
00:43:58Vulcan was in danger of being destroyed by the same conditions and characteristics
00:44:04which threatened to destroy Charon.
00:44:07We were once a people like yourselves, wildly emotional,
00:44:11often committed to irrationally opposing points of view,
00:44:16leading, of course, to death and destruction.
00:44:20Only the discipline of logic saved my planet from extinction.
00:44:25Commander Spock, I am delighted that Vulcan was saved,
00:44:29but you cannot expect loci and people like him to act with self-discipline
00:44:34any more than you can expect the planet to stop orbiting its sun.
00:44:40Let loci state his grievances.
00:44:44Hear him.
00:44:44Listen to him.
00:44:45Maybe he can change.
00:44:47Maybe he wants to change.
00:44:48He cannot change.
00:44:49Change is the essential process of all existence.
00:44:55For instance, the people of Charon must have once been monocolored.
00:45:01You mean like both of you?
00:45:04There must have been a time.
00:45:05Long ago, no doubt.
00:45:06When that was true.
00:45:09Excuse me.
00:45:10Where are you?
00:45:14We're orbiting Arianna, sir.
00:45:16Very good.
00:45:18Commence decontamination procedures when ready.
00:45:20Advise when complete.
00:45:22At once, sir.
00:45:23Squat out.
00:45:27I once heard that on some of your planets,
00:45:29people believe they are descended from apes.
00:45:33The actual theory is that all life forms evolved from the lower levels
00:45:42to the more advanced stages.
00:45:48Ready for decontamination procedure?
00:45:51Ready, sir.
00:45:52Ready here.
00:45:53Ready, Mr. Scott.
00:45:54Mr. Sulu, lock into coordinates requested by Arianna's.
00:46:00Locked in, sir.
00:46:02Mr. Chekhov.
00:46:03Position tanks for spray release.
00:46:07Thanks, position.
00:46:09Lieutenant Uhura, advise Arianna's the mission is to begin on signal.
00:46:13All ground precautions must be ready.
00:46:19Arianna says go ahead.
00:46:23Well, let her rip.
00:46:33Squat to cut in, Kirk.
00:47:02First run complete, sir.
00:47:06Good.
00:47:06Repeat procedure for maximum effect.
00:47:08Aye, sir.
00:47:11Ready to repeat decontamination procedure.
00:47:14Ready, sir.
00:47:16Mr. Sulu.
00:47:17Ready here.
00:47:17We're completing the final orbit of Arianna, sir.
00:47:41I'm awaiting instructions to set course for the next destination.
00:47:44Very good.
00:47:45We'll be right up.
00:47:46Set directional controls for Starbase 4.
00:47:50Kirk up.
00:47:50Will you join us on the bridge?
00:47:57There is nothing I would like more.
00:48:00Captain's log, stardate 5730.7.
00:48:09Having completed our mission to Arianna's, the Enterprise is now on course to Starbase 4.
00:48:15The crew is on normal routine, and we are proceeding without incident.
00:48:21Colonel, Mr. Charkov.
00:48:23I don't rightly know, Mr. Spock.
00:48:26I was trying to program for Starbase 4 as ordered.
00:48:30I can't get a response.
00:48:32It just seemed to go dead, sir.
00:48:34Captain, some of the memory banks of the computer are burned out.
00:48:42Can you determine which one?
00:48:43The directional control and the self-destruct, Captain, are both burnt out.
00:48:50I did it like this.
00:48:51Starbase 4
00:49:21Captain's log, stardate 5730.6.
00:49:31In a deliberate act of sabotage, Commissioner Beale has burned out our destruct mechanism
00:49:36and through the power of his will, has again taken over directional control of the Enterprise.
00:49:43How can we go to Chiron without any more discussion?
00:49:47At the moment, I seem to have no choice.
00:49:55So this is justice, Dr. Arianus.
00:49:56You have signed my death warrant.
00:50:00I warned you what to expect.
00:50:04Will you continue to let this mockery of justice go on?
00:50:07If you are partisans of justice, prove it.
00:50:11Kill him.
00:50:13We are not killers.
00:50:16What do you do, carry justice on your tongues?
00:50:19You will beg for it, but you won't fight or die for it.
00:50:21After so many years of leading the fight, you seem very much alive.
00:50:25I doubt that the same can be said for many of his followers.
00:50:29You're finished, Lokai.
00:50:31Oh, we've got your kind penned in on Chiron into little districts, and it's not going to change.
00:50:39You've combed the galaxy and come up with nothing but monocolored trash, dual gurus, and bleeding hearts.
00:50:45You're dead, you half-white.
00:50:48You're first pieces of bland flesh.
00:50:51I'll take you with me, you half-white.
00:51:00See you.
00:51:01You keep this up, and you'll never get to Chiron with your prisoner.
00:51:06Prisonership will be irreparably damaged.
00:51:08This will be your final battlefield.
00:51:11Your 50,000 years of pursuit will have been wasted.
00:51:21And you, Lokai, will die here in space.
00:51:27You'll inspire no more disciples.
00:51:30Your cause will be ended.
00:51:33Remember, Captain.
00:51:36Political sanctuary is my right.
00:51:39I am your prisoner.
00:51:42Honor that right, or the fight will go on and your ship will burn up.
00:51:48You've made your point.
00:51:49If you listen to his legalistic trickery, I shall have to destroy this ship and everybody aboard.
00:51:55I understand.
00:51:58Will you return the Enterprise to my control?
00:52:13Why not?
00:52:14Why not?
00:52:19Scottie, have repairs on directional control been completed.
00:52:33Aye, sir.
00:52:34Rerouted.
00:52:35Check controls and coordinates.
00:52:39Controls operating, Captain.
00:52:41The Enterprise is responding as always.
00:52:44Captain, it's beautiful.
00:52:45Locking on two coordinates.
00:52:46Captain, we are within scanning range of Sherrod.
00:52:55Is it within visual range?
00:52:57Coming within visual range now, Captain.
00:53:00Check out.
00:53:00Put it on the screen.
00:53:01Extreme magnification.
00:53:02What are you picking up?
00:53:10What are you picking up?
00:53:11Several very large cities.
00:53:15Uninhabited.
00:53:18Extensive traffic systems.
00:53:20Barren of traffic.
00:53:22Lower animals and vegetation encroaching on the cities.
00:53:27No sapient life forms registering at all, Captain.
00:53:34There is no evidence of natural disaster.
00:53:37Yet there are vast numbers of unburied corpses in all cities.
00:53:41All the people are dead.
00:53:50All dead, Captain.
00:53:51They have annihilated each other.
00:53:55Totally.
00:53:57My people.
00:54:00All dead?
00:54:02Yes, Commissioner.
00:54:04All of them.
00:54:05No one alive?
00:54:09None at all, sir.
00:54:13You're a band of murderers.
00:54:19Finally!
00:54:21Stop it!
00:54:23What's the matter with your two?
00:54:25You hear some art?
00:54:26The planet is dead.
00:54:29There's nobody alive on Sherrod because of hate.
00:54:32The cause you fought about no longer exists.
00:54:37Give yourselves time to breathe.
00:54:39Give up your hate.
00:54:41You're welcome to live with us.
00:54:46Listen to me.
00:54:48You both must end up dead.
00:54:53If you don't stop hating.
00:54:56You're an idealistic dreamer.
00:55:02The chase is finished.
00:55:11He must not escape me.
00:55:14Where can he go?
00:55:26Bill.
00:55:28Shall I alert security, sir?
00:55:29No, Lieutenant.
00:55:34Where can they run?
00:55:35Shh.
00:55:37Captain, I have located them on ship's sensors.
00:56:02Deal is chasing loci.
00:56:05On deck three.
00:56:31Deal is passing recreation room three.
00:56:34Bocai approaching the crewman's lounge.
00:56:38Bocai is running past the crewman's lounge.
00:56:59Bocai has just arrived on deck five.
00:57:01Bocai is running past the crewman's lounge.
00:57:27Recreation room three.
00:57:30Captain, someone has activated
00:57:46the transporter mechanism
00:57:47Park, anyone in the transporter room?
00:57:50Negative, Captain
00:57:51The transporter room is clear
00:57:53However, there is a life form
00:57:57materializing on the planet
00:57:59It is Loci
00:58:03He's back on Charon
00:58:06There's nobody there to triumph
00:58:08His judges are all dead
00:58:11Captain, the transporter mechanism has been activated again
00:58:31Of course
00:58:34In his field, Captain
00:58:36And another life form has appeared on Charon
00:58:52It doesn't make any sense
00:59:03To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme viewpoints
00:59:11Who is not logical
00:59:14Their planet's dead
00:59:16Does it matter now which one's right?
00:59:18Not to Loci and Beal
00:59:20All that matters to them
00:59:23Is their hate
00:59:25Do you suppose that's all they ever had, sir?
00:59:29No
00:59:29But that's all they have left
00:59:34What factor two, Mr. Sulu?
00:59:37Set course for Starbase
00:59:39Four
00:59:42Four
00:59:42THE END
01:00:12THE END
01:00:42THE END
