Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,246 --> 00:00:09,248
- Standard orbit, captain.
- Not now.
2
00:00:09,373 --> 00:00:11,333
Lieutenant,
contact the space station.
3
00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:14,753
- Captain, the station is calling us.
- All right, put them on.
4
00:00:15,379 --> 00:00:17,589
MAN: Captain Kirk,
this is Commodore Enwright.
5
00:00:17,631 --> 00:00:19,716
Yes, commodore,
I'd like an explanation.
6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,052
The explanation
is beaming aboard now, captain.
7
00:00:22,094 --> 00:00:24,346
He may already be
in your Transporter Room.
8
00:00:25,576 --> 00:00:26,695
Spock.
9
00:00:26,827 --> 00:00:28,412
[WHIRRING]
10
00:00:40,237 --> 00:00:42,281
- Bob.
- Jim, surprised?
11
00:00:42,337 --> 00:00:44,006
I'll say. Spock, this is--
12
00:00:44,065 --> 00:00:45,909
Commodore Wesley.
How do you do, sir?
13
00:00:45,966 --> 00:00:47,426
Mr. Spock.
14
00:00:47,619 --> 00:00:50,247
All right, ensign, you can go.
Thank you very much.
15
00:00:51,957 --> 00:00:53,917
Would you mind telling me
what this is all about?
16
00:00:54,084 --> 00:00:56,462
I receive orders to proceed here.
No reason given.
17
00:00:56,587 --> 00:00:59,548
I'm informed that my men will be
removed to the space station,
18
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:02,634
to a security holding area.
I think I'm entitled to an explanation.
19
00:01:02,718 --> 00:01:05,012
You've had a singular honor
conferred on you, Jim.
20
00:01:05,095 --> 00:01:06,972
You're gonna be
the fox in the hunt.
21
00:01:07,014 --> 00:01:08,515
What's that?
22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,933
War games.
23
00:01:10,017 --> 00:01:12,644
I'll be commanding
the attack force against you.
24
00:01:12,895 --> 00:01:15,522
An entire attack force
against my ship?
25
00:01:15,606 --> 00:01:18,442
Have you heard of
the M-5 multitronic unit?
26
00:01:19,526 --> 00:01:23,697
That's Dr. Richard
Daystrom's device, isn't it?
27
00:01:23,822 --> 00:01:24,990
Tell me about that.
28
00:01:25,073 --> 00:01:27,951
The most ambitious
computer complex ever created.
29
00:01:28,035 --> 00:01:31,914
Its purpose is to correlate
all computer activity aboard a starship
30
00:01:31,997 --> 00:01:35,459
to provide the ultimate
in vessel operation and control.
31
00:01:36,335 --> 00:01:38,795
How do you know so much about it,
commander?
32
00:01:39,004 --> 00:01:42,466
I hold an A-7 computer expert
classification, commodore.
33
00:01:42,591 --> 00:01:45,886
I'm well acquainted with
Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries.
34
00:01:45,969 --> 00:01:49,681
The basic design of all our ships'
computers are Dr. Daystrom's.
35
00:01:49,765 --> 00:01:52,142
What has all this got to do
with the Enterprise, commodore?
36
00:01:52,226 --> 00:01:54,520
You've been chosen
to test the M-5, Jim.
37
00:01:54,603 --> 00:01:58,774
There'll be a series of routine research
and contact problems for M-5 to solve,
38
00:01:58,899 --> 00:02:02,569
plus navigational manoeuvers
and the war games problem.
39
00:02:02,694 --> 00:02:05,072
If the M-5 works
under actual conditions
40
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:07,157
as well as it has
in the simulated tests,
41
00:02:07,282 --> 00:02:11,161
it will mean a revolution in space
technology as great as warp drive.
42
00:02:11,286 --> 00:02:14,206
When your crew has been removed,
the ship's engineering section
43
00:02:14,289 --> 00:02:16,625
will be modified
to contain the computer.
44
00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:19,503
- Why remove my crew?
- They're not needed.
45
00:02:21,004 --> 00:02:23,757
How much security
does this gadget require?
46
00:02:24,049 --> 00:02:25,425
None.
47
00:02:26,802 --> 00:02:30,556
Dr. Daystrom will see to the installation
himself and he'll supervise the tests.
48
00:02:30,631 --> 00:02:32,351
When he's ready,
you'll receive your orders
49
00:02:32,432 --> 00:02:34,560
and proceed on the mission
with a crew of 20.
50
00:02:38,522 --> 00:02:39,648
Twenty?
51
00:02:39,773 --> 00:02:41,984
I can't run a starship
with 20 crewmen.
52
00:02:42,109 --> 00:02:43,443
The M-5 can.
53
00:02:43,527 --> 00:02:45,320
And what am I supposed to do?
54
00:02:46,113 --> 00:02:47,864
You've got a great job, Jim.
55
00:02:48,073 --> 00:02:52,077
All you have to do is sit back
and let the machine do the work.
56
00:03:06,967 --> 00:03:10,178
KIRK:
Space, the final frontier.
57
00:03:15,976 --> 00:03:19,479
These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.
58
00:03:20,230 --> 00:03:24,026
Its five-year mission:
To explore strange, new worlds,
59
00:03:24,151 --> 00:03:27,654
to seek out new life
and new civilizations,
60
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,450
to boldly go where no man
has gone before.
61
00:04:12,074 --> 00:04:14,993
KIRK:
Captain's log, stardate 4729.4.
62
00:04:15,077 --> 00:04:17,663
The M-5 computer has
been installed on board ship,
63
00:04:17,746 --> 00:04:20,666
and we have left the space
station for test manoeuvers.
64
00:04:20,791 --> 00:04:22,125
I don't like it, Jim.
65
00:04:22,209 --> 00:04:24,961
A vessel this size cannot be run
by one computer.
66
00:04:25,087 --> 00:04:28,924
We are attempting to prove that it can
run this ship more efficiently than man.
67
00:04:29,049 --> 00:04:33,136
Maybe you're trying to prove that,
but don't count me in on it.
68
00:04:33,303 --> 00:04:37,474
The most unfortunate lack in current
computer programming is that
69
00:04:37,557 --> 00:04:41,561
there is nothing available to immediately
replace the starship's surgeon.
70
00:04:41,978 --> 00:04:43,689
McCOY:
Very funny.
71
00:04:45,607 --> 00:04:48,860
If it could, they wouldn't
have to replace me. I'd resign
72
00:04:49,027 --> 00:04:50,779
because everybody else
aboard would be
73
00:04:50,904 --> 00:04:52,739
nothing but circuits
and memory banks.
74
00:04:52,823 --> 00:04:54,741
You know the type, Spock.
75
00:04:55,075 --> 00:04:56,838
Jim, you haven't had much
to say about this.
76
00:04:56,952 --> 00:04:58,286
What do you want me to say?
77
00:04:58,370 --> 00:05:00,997
M-5, it's an honor, they tell me.
78
00:05:01,123 --> 00:05:03,583
Well, I'm honored.
79
00:05:06,211 --> 00:05:08,964
Where is he?
Scotty, where's Dr. Daystrom?
80
00:05:09,089 --> 00:05:11,299
Well, he was here. Doctor?
81
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:13,677
Yes?
82
00:05:15,887 --> 00:05:18,807
- Ah. You'd be Captain Kirk.
- Yes, Dr. Daystrom.
83
00:05:18,890 --> 00:05:21,476
This is my first officer, Mr. Spock.
84
00:05:21,685 --> 00:05:24,813
- I am honored, doctor.
- Thank you very much.
85
00:05:24,938 --> 00:05:27,774
Captain, I have finished my tests
on the M-5.
86
00:05:27,858 --> 00:05:31,987
And it must be hooked into your main
power plants in order to be operative.
87
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:34,072
By all means, do so.
88
00:05:34,364 --> 00:05:39,077
Your engineer there wouldn't allow us
the power necessary without your orders.
89
00:05:39,453 --> 00:05:43,290
Mr. Scott, hook in the multitronic unit
to the ship's main power banks.
90
00:05:43,415 --> 00:05:45,667
Aye, aye, sir. Mr. Harper.
91
00:05:45,751 --> 00:05:47,252
Fascinating, doctor.
92
00:05:47,335 --> 00:05:50,380
This computer has a potential
beyond anything you've ever done.
93
00:05:50,505 --> 00:05:54,259
Even your breakthrough in duotronics
did not have the promise of this.
94
00:05:54,426 --> 00:05:56,762
The M-5 has been perfected,
commander.
95
00:05:56,970 --> 00:05:58,680
Its potential is a fact.
96
00:05:58,764 --> 00:06:00,974
Frankly, the only fact
that I'm concerned about
97
00:06:01,057 --> 00:06:02,642
is that if this thing doesn't work,
98
00:06:02,726 --> 00:06:04,895
there are not enough
men aboard to run this ship.
99
00:06:04,978 --> 00:06:06,688
And that's
begging for trouble.
100
00:06:06,772 --> 00:06:08,523
Now, who is this?
101
00:06:08,607 --> 00:06:11,276
Dr. Leonard McCoy,
senior medical officer.
102
00:06:12,861 --> 00:06:15,363
I'm sorry, but this is a security area.
103
00:06:15,489 --> 00:06:19,117
I wouldn't worry, doctor. Dr. McCoy
has clearance throughout the ship.
104
00:06:19,284 --> 00:06:21,411
[BEEPING]
105
00:06:22,871 --> 00:06:25,165
[WHIRRING]
106
00:06:26,166 --> 00:06:28,835
- Is it supposed to do that?
- If I can be of assistance, doctor--
107
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:31,421
No, no, no.
Thank you. I can manage.
108
00:06:34,966 --> 00:06:36,551
There is nothing wrong, captain.
109
00:06:36,635 --> 00:06:40,138
Just a few minor settling-in
adjustments to make.
110
00:06:41,765 --> 00:06:44,100
As you can see, all is in order now.
111
00:06:44,184 --> 00:06:46,019
I'm curious, doctor.
112
00:06:46,186 --> 00:06:48,730
Why is it called M-5 and not M-1?
113
00:06:48,939 --> 00:06:50,482
Well, you see,
114
00:06:50,607 --> 00:06:54,903
the multitronic units 1 through 4
were not entirely successful.
115
00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:56,613
This one is.
116
00:06:56,780 --> 00:06:59,449
M-5 is ready
to take control of the ship.
117
00:06:59,574 --> 00:07:01,326
Total control?
118
00:07:01,535 --> 00:07:04,079
That is what it was designed for,
captain.
119
00:07:05,413 --> 00:07:09,251
There are certain things
men must do to remain men.
120
00:07:10,877 --> 00:07:13,296
Your computer
would take that away.
121
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:16,675
There are other things
a man like you might do.
122
00:07:16,883 --> 00:07:20,011
Or perhaps you object
to the possible loss of the prestige
123
00:07:20,095 --> 00:07:23,014
and the ceremony accorded
a starship captain.
124
00:07:23,181 --> 00:07:25,851
The computer can do your job,
and without all that.
125
00:07:26,017 --> 00:07:28,395
You'll have to prove that
to me, doctor.
126
00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:31,523
That is what we're here for,
isn't it, captain?
127
00:07:42,951 --> 00:07:45,412
Did you see the love light
in Spock's eyes?
128
00:07:45,579 --> 00:07:47,956
The right computer
finally came along.
129
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:50,876
What's the matter, Jim?
130
00:07:51,668 --> 00:07:54,337
I think that thing is wrong.
131
00:07:54,546 --> 00:07:56,006
And I don't know why.
132
00:07:56,131 --> 00:07:59,759
McCOY: I think it's wrong, too,
replacing men with mindless machines.
133
00:07:59,843 --> 00:08:01,344
KIRK:
I don't mean that.
134
00:08:01,553 --> 00:08:05,473
I'm getting a red alert, right here.
135
00:08:05,807 --> 00:08:07,684
That thing is dangerous.
136
00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:09,853
I feel...
137
00:08:12,647 --> 00:08:17,193
Only a fool would stand in the way
of progress, if this is progress.
138
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,239
You have my psychological profiles.
Am I afraid...
139
00:08:21,531 --> 00:08:24,868
...of losing my job to that computer?
140
00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:29,122
Jim, we've all seen
the advances of mechanization.
141
00:08:29,581 --> 00:08:33,043
After all, Daystrom did design
the computers that run this ship.
142
00:08:33,126 --> 00:08:34,836
Under human control.
143
00:08:35,253 --> 00:08:38,924
We're all sorry for the other guy
when he loses his job to a machine,
144
00:08:39,049 --> 00:08:41,676
but when it comes to your job,
that's different.
145
00:08:41,801 --> 00:08:44,054
And it always will be different.
146
00:08:45,722 --> 00:08:48,934
Am I afraid of losing command
to a computer?
147
00:08:50,101 --> 00:08:52,145
Daystrom is right.
I can do a lot of other things.
148
00:08:52,228 --> 00:08:55,398
Am I afraid of losing
the prestige and the power
149
00:08:55,523 --> 00:08:57,359
that goes with being
a starship captain?
150
00:08:57,442 --> 00:09:00,070
Is that why I'm fighting?
Am I that petty?
151
00:09:00,362 --> 00:09:02,948
Jim, if you have the awareness
to ask yourself that question,
152
00:09:03,073 --> 00:09:05,075
you don't need me
to answer it for you.
153
00:09:05,158 --> 00:09:07,452
Why don't you ask James T. Kirk?
154
00:09:07,827 --> 00:09:09,788
He's a pretty honest guy.
155
00:09:16,127 --> 00:09:19,839
KIRK:
The M-5 computer is now disengaged.
156
00:09:21,049 --> 00:09:23,885
We're coming back
on our original course, captain.
157
00:09:24,302 --> 00:09:27,430
M-5 has performed
admirably so far, captain.
158
00:09:27,555 --> 00:09:30,183
All it's done is make
the required course changes
159
00:09:30,269 --> 00:09:31,868
and a few simple turns.
160
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,391
Mr. Sulu and Mr. Chekov could have
done that with their eyes closed.
161
00:09:34,461 --> 00:09:38,692
Yes, but you see, the idea is,
they didn't have to do it.
162
00:09:38,942 --> 00:09:43,780
And you'll find it won't be necessary
for you to regain control of the unit
163
00:09:43,863 --> 00:09:45,865
after it's completed each manoeuver.
164
00:09:46,199 --> 00:09:48,076
My orders are subject
to my interpretation
165
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,328
as to how long the M-5 is in control.
166
00:09:50,453 --> 00:09:53,540
And I'll run the ship in my own way,
if you don't mind, Dr. Daystrom.
167
00:10:01,214 --> 00:10:05,468
Captain, I'm forced to agree
with Dr. Daystrom.
168
00:10:05,844 --> 00:10:08,096
With the course information
plotted into it,
169
00:10:08,221 --> 00:10:11,850
his computer could have brought us
here as easily as the navigator.
170
00:10:11,933 --> 00:10:16,187
In fact, it might have been a further
demonstration of M-5's capability.
171
00:10:16,396 --> 00:10:19,566
You seem to enjoy trusting yourself
to the computer, Mr. Spock.
172
00:10:19,691 --> 00:10:21,317
Enjoy, captain?
173
00:10:21,943 --> 00:10:23,111
No.
174
00:10:23,445 --> 00:10:26,948
I am merely gratified to see
Dr. Daystrom's new unit
175
00:10:27,157 --> 00:10:30,410
execute everything required of it
in such a highly efficient manner.
176
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,581
M-5 is another distinguished
triumph for his career.

CHEKOV.:
Approaching Alpha Carinae II.
178
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:39,711
ETA, five minutes.
179
00:10:40,837 --> 00:10:44,174
Captain, your orders at this point
180
00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:46,509
are not open to interpretation.
181
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,305
You must commit the M-5
to handle its approach,
182
00:10:50,472 --> 00:10:53,767
the orbit, and then to analyze data
183
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:56,561
regarding landing-party
recommendations.
184
00:10:56,811 --> 00:10:59,689
If you don't mind,
I'll make my own recommendations.
185
00:11:00,065 --> 00:11:03,610
Well, if you feel
you need the exercise, go on.
186
00:11:08,573 --> 00:11:09,741
[WHIRS]
187
00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:11,284
M-5 is committed.
188
00:11:19,667 --> 00:11:21,461
Standard orbit, Mr. Sulu.
189
00:11:21,795 --> 00:11:24,589
Captain, the M-5 has calculated that.
190
00:11:24,714 --> 00:11:26,800
The orbit is already plotted.
191
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:28,510
Oh, yes.
192
00:11:33,014 --> 00:11:36,351
- Standard orbit achieved, captain.
- Report, Mr. Spock.
193
00:11:36,851 --> 00:11:38,853

The planet is Class-M, captain.

00:11:38,937 --> 00:11:43,149
Oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere
suitable for human life support.

00:11:46,194 --> 00:11:49,864
a number of islands,

197
00:11:57,997 --> 00:12:00,625
Captain, power shutdowns
on Deck 4.
198
00:12:00,708 --> 00:12:02,836

199
00:12:03,294 --> 00:12:04,921
Check it out, Scotty.
200
00:12:09,968 --> 00:12:11,553
M-5's readout, captain.
201
00:12:11,761 --> 00:12:14,472
All right, my recommendations
are as follows.
202
00:12:14,589 --> 00:12:16,808
We send down a
general survey party,
203
00:12:17,642 --> 00:12:21,312
avoiding contact of all intelligent
life on the planet surface.
204
00:12:21,437 --> 00:12:24,566
The survey party will consist of
myself, Dr. McCoy,
205
00:12:24,649 --> 00:12:28,111
Astrobiologist Phillips,
Geologist Rawlens,
206
00:12:28,611 --> 00:12:30,363
and Science Officer Spock.
207
00:12:31,656 --> 00:12:35,535
Play M-5's recommendations,
won't you, Mr. Spock?
208
00:12:40,248 --> 00:12:43,418
M-5:
M-5 readout. Planet Alpha Carinae II.
209
00:12:43,543 --> 00:12:44,752

213
00:12:56,431 --> 00:12:58,808
Recommendations for
general survey party.
214
00:12:58,933 --> 00:13:04,606
Science Officer Spock, Astrobiologist
Phillips, Geologist Carstairs.
215
00:13:06,232 --> 00:13:09,027
Well, the only difference in reports
and recommendations
216
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:11,571
is the landing party personnel.
That's a matter of judgment.
217
00:13:11,654 --> 00:13:13,239
Judgment, captain?
218
00:13:13,489 --> 00:13:17,535
Captain, the computer
does not judge.
219
00:13:17,744 --> 00:13:19,913
It makes logical selections.
220
00:13:21,789 --> 00:13:25,418
Why pick Carstairs
instead of Rawlens?
221
00:13:26,419 --> 00:13:29,130
Carstairs is an ensign,
no experience.
222
00:13:29,214 --> 00:13:31,174
This is his first tour of duty.
223
00:13:31,424 --> 00:13:33,301
Rawlens is chief geologist.
224
00:13:33,384 --> 00:13:35,386
Aren't you really more
interested in why
225
00:13:35,470 --> 00:13:38,890
M-5 did not select you
and Dr. McCoy?
226
00:13:42,101 --> 00:13:44,479
Well, let's find out anyway.
227
00:13:46,356 --> 00:13:48,608
- M-5, tie in.
- M-5: M-5.
228
00:13:48,775 --> 00:13:51,611
Explanation for landing party
recommendation.
229
00:13:51,819 --> 00:13:54,906
General survey party requires
direction of science officer.
230
00:13:54,989 --> 00:13:59,244
Astrobiologist Phillips has surveyed
29 biologically similar planets.
231
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:03,289
Geologist Carstairs served on
merchant marine freighters in this area.
232
00:14:03,539 --> 00:14:07,043
Once visited planet on geology survey
for mining company.
233
00:14:07,293 --> 00:14:09,337
Why were the captain
and chief medical officer
234
00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:11,089
not included in recommendation?
235
00:14:11,172 --> 00:14:13,049
M-5:
Non-essential personnel.
236
00:14:25,353 --> 00:14:28,982
Captain, I've located the source
of the power shutdowns.
237
00:14:29,065 --> 00:14:31,109
It's the M-5 unit, sir.
238
00:14:31,276 --> 00:14:34,779
That thing's turning off systems
all over the ship.
239
00:14:43,329 --> 00:14:45,623
KIRK: Have you located
the malfunction, doctor?
240
00:14:46,374 --> 00:14:49,294
As I suspected,
it is not a malfunction.
241
00:14:49,377 --> 00:14:51,254
M-5 was merely
shutting down power
242
00:14:51,337 --> 00:14:53,798
to areas of the ship
that do not require it.
243
00:14:53,923 --> 00:14:57,135
Decks 4 and 6 are living quarters,
are they not?
244
00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:59,220
- Yes, that's correct.
- And currently unoccupied.
245
00:14:59,345 --> 00:15:01,597
I am not familiar with
these instruments, doctor.
246
00:15:01,723 --> 00:15:04,642
You are using an entirely new type
of control mechanism.
247
00:15:05,351 --> 00:15:08,646
However, it appears to me this unit
is drawing more power than before.
248
00:15:09,230 --> 00:15:10,315
Quite right.
249
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,817
As the unit is called upon
to do more work,
250
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,070
it pulls more power to enable it
to do what is required of it,
251
00:15:16,154 --> 00:15:20,783
just as the human body draws
more energy to run than to stand still.
252
00:15:20,908 --> 00:15:23,494
Doctor, this unit
is not a human body.
253
00:15:23,619 --> 00:15:25,872
The computer can
process information,
254
00:15:25,997 --> 00:15:28,333
but only the information
which is put into it.
255
00:15:28,416 --> 00:15:32,086
Granted it can work 1,000, a million
times faster than the human brain.
256
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:35,757
But it can't make a value judgment.
It hasn't intuition. It can't think.
257
00:15:36,132 --> 00:15:38,009
Can't you understand?
258
00:15:38,885 --> 00:15:42,555
The multitronic unit is a revolution
in computer science.
259
00:15:42,764 --> 00:15:46,309
I designed the duotronic elements
used in your ship right now,
260
00:15:46,392 --> 00:15:51,064
and I know they are as archaic
as dinosaurs, compared to the M-5.
261
00:15:51,397 --> 00:15:54,108
A whole new approach.
262
00:15:54,359 --> 00:15:56,152
[INTERCOM CHIMES]

264
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:02,200
Kirk here. What is it?

UHURA: Sensors are picking up
a vessel paralleling our course,

are shut down

until such time as the M-5 is informed
there are patients to be cared for.

00:16:25,306 --> 00:16:28,351
Captain, sensors report
two contacts now.

00:16:28,434 --> 00:16:30,853
One on the port bow,
one on the stern.
273

Distance, 200,000 kilometers
and closing.

has already identified the vessels

all indicate an immense
sophistication in computer control.

It was impressive.

- It might even be practical.
- Practical, captain?

00:19:09,428 --> 00:19:12,640
Perhaps, but not desirable.

It wasn't a deliberate act.
440
00:26:58,856 --> 00:27:01,525
M-5's analysis told it
it needed a new power source.
441

The ensign simply got in the way.

And how long will it be before
all of us simply get in the way?

directly from the warp engines,

it's programmed
with simple instructions,
481
00:29:09,027 --> 00:29:11,738
and at some point,
if its mind develops properly,
482
00:29:11,822 --> 00:29:15,993
it exceeds the sum of what
it was taught, thinks independently.
483
00:29:16,118 --> 00:29:20,247
That thing is a danger to all of us.
Now, find some way to shut it off!

512
00:31:05,435 --> 00:31:08,313
"Not entirely successful."
That's the way Daystrom put it.
513
00:31:09,273 --> 00:31:12,776
Genius doesn't work
on an assembly-line basis.
514
00:31:13,026 --> 00:31:17,864
Did Einstein or Kazanga
or Sitar of Vulcan

produce new and revolutionary
theories on a regular schedule?
516

You can't simply say,
"Today I will be brilliant."
517
00:31:23,662 --> 00:31:27,457
No matter how long it took,
he came out with multitronics, the M-5.
518
00:31:27,541 --> 00:31:31,169
Right. The government bought it. Then
Daystrom had to make it work. He did.
519
00:31:31,420 --> 00:31:33,755
But, according to Spock,
it works "illogically."
520
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:35,924
And he won't let Spock near it.

00:31:36,466 --> 00:31:37,801
What are you saying?
522
00:31:37,926 --> 00:31:42,681
That he's tampering with it,
that he's making it act that way? Why?
523
00:31:42,764 --> 00:31:46,101
Jim, if a man had a child
who'd gone antisocial,

killed, perhaps,
525
00:31:48,186 --> 00:31:51,023
he'd still tend to protect that child.

Now he's got you talking about
that machine like a personality.

he thinks about it.

it rerouted the controls,

- Well, doctor?
- Yes, quite right, Mr. Spock.
576
00:34:42,068 --> 00:34:44,905
You see, one of the arguments
against computers controlling ships
577
00:34:44,988 --> 00:34:47,449
was that they couldn't
think like men.

676
00:39:59,636 --> 00:40:01,304
This is Daystrom.
677
00:40:02,096 --> 00:40:04,849
- M-5: Daystrom acknowledged.
- M-5...
678
00:40:05,725 --> 00:40:07,143
...do you know me?
679
00:40:07,352 --> 00:40:08,603
M-5:
Daystrom, Richard.
680
00:40:08,728 --> 00:40:10,939
Originator of comptronic,
duotronic systems.
681
00:40:11,022 --> 00:40:12,232
- Born--
- Stop.
682
00:40:12,357 --> 00:40:15,109
M-5, your attack on
the starships is wrong.
683
00:40:15,193 --> 00:40:16,986
You must break it off.
684
00:40:17,237 --> 00:40:19,239
I don't like the sound of him, Jim.
685
00:40:19,322 --> 00:40:21,991
You better pray that the M-5
listens to the sound of him.
686
00:40:22,158 --> 00:40:24,536
M-5: Programming includes
protection against attack.
687
00:40:24,661 --> 00:40:26,663
Enemy vessels must be neutralized.
688
00:40:26,788 --> 00:40:30,583
But these are not enemy vessels.
These are Federation starships.
689
00:40:30,917 --> 00:40:32,585
You're killing...
690
00:40:34,254 --> 00:40:35,839
We are killing,
691
00:40:36,422 --> 00:40:38,007
murdering
692
00:40:38,383 --> 00:40:41,094
human beings,
beings of our own kind.
693
00:40:41,636 --> 00:40:44,889
You were not created
for that purpose.
694
00:40:46,099 --> 00:40:48,810
You're my greatest creation.
695
00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:51,563
The unit to save men.
696
00:40:51,896 --> 00:40:53,565
You must not destroy men.
697
00:40:53,857 --> 00:40:55,900
M-5:
This unit must survive.
698
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:58,736
Survive, yes. Protect yourself.
699
00:40:58,945 --> 00:41:03,867
But not murder. You must not die.
Men must not die.
700
00:41:05,368 --> 00:41:06,953
To kill...
701
00:41:07,662 --> 00:41:13,418
...is a breaking of civil and moral laws
we've lived by for thousands of years.
702
00:41:14,377 --> 00:41:17,755
You've murdered
hundreds of people.
703
00:41:18,715 --> 00:41:20,550
We've murdered.
704
00:41:21,843 --> 00:41:23,928
How can we repay that?
705
00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:26,389
M-5:
They attacked this unit.
706
00:41:27,265 --> 00:41:29,183
- Programming includes full freedom
- Spock.
707
00:41:29,309 --> 00:41:31,895
to choose defensive action
in all attack situations.
708
00:41:31,978 --> 00:41:35,773
M-5 is not responding to Daystrom.
It's talking to him.
709
00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:38,443
I am most impressed
with the technology, captain.
710
00:41:38,568 --> 00:41:41,571
Dr. Daystrom has created
a mirror image of his own mind.
711
00:41:41,654 --> 00:41:45,325
M-5: --consideration of all
programming is that we must survive.
712
00:41:45,491 --> 00:41:50,204
We will survive. Nothing can hurt you.
I gave you that.
713

You are great, I am great.

Twenty years of groping
715
00:41:55,627 --> 00:41:58,713
to prove the things I'd done before
were not accidents.
716
00:42:00,131 --> 00:42:03,092
Seminars and lectures
to rows of fools
717
00:42:03,217 --> 00:42:05,762
who couldn't begin to
understand my systems.
718
00:42:06,346 --> 00:42:08,181
Colleagues...
719
00:42:08,681 --> 00:42:12,435
Colleagues laughing behind my back
at the "boy wonder,"
720
00:42:12,977 --> 00:42:16,481

building on my work.
721

Building on my work!
722
00:42:20,610 --> 00:42:24,364
Jim, he's on the edge of
a nervous breakdown, if not insanity.
723
00:42:29,202 --> 00:42:31,663
The M-5 must be destroyed.
724
00:42:34,457 --> 00:42:36,501
Destroyed, Kirk?
725
00:42:37,669 --> 00:42:40,213
No. We're invincible.
726
00:42:40,338 --> 00:42:43,716
Look what we've done.
Your mighty starships,
727
00:42:43,925 --> 00:42:47,261
four toys to be crushed
as we choose.
728
00:42:49,305 --> 00:42:52,517
KIRK:
Security, take him to Sickbay.
729
00:42:55,853 --> 00:42:58,189
- Fascinating.
- Take care of him, doctor.

are holding station out of range.

message from Starfleet. They--

00:43:13,538 --> 00:43:14,789
Go on.

to use all measures available
737
00:43:19,002 --> 00:43:20,712

738
00:43:20,795 --> 00:43:23,297
- Acknowledge, Lexington.
- WESLEY: Acknowledged.
739
00:43:23,423 --> 00:43:24,882
Lexington out.
740
00:43:25,008 --> 00:43:29,262
They've just signed their own death
warrant. M-5 will kill them to survive.
741
00:43:29,387 --> 00:43:32,181
SPOCK: Every living thing
wants to survive, captain.
742
00:43:32,306 --> 00:43:36,644
Daystrom must have impressed that
instinctive reaction upon the computer.
743
00:43:36,894 --> 00:43:39,480
Suppose it's still open to impression.
744
00:43:39,647 --> 00:43:42,483
Suppose it absorbed the regret
745
00:43:42,608 --> 00:43:45,695
Daystrom felt for the deaths it caused,
the guilt.
746
00:43:45,903 --> 00:43:49,407
Captain, the ships are coming
within range again.
747
00:43:51,909 --> 00:43:54,203
Commodore Wesley is
a dedicated commander.
748
00:43:54,287 --> 00:43:56,789
I should regret serving aboard
the instrument of his death.
749
00:43:56,873 --> 00:44:00,126
The instrument of his death will not
be the Enterprise, if I can help it.
750
00:44:00,585 --> 00:44:03,713
- M-5, tie in.
- M-5: M-5.

00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,007
This is Captain Kirk.
752
00:44:06,549 --> 00:44:08,468
You will be under attack
in a moment.
753

M-5: Sensors have recorded
approach of ships.
754

You have already rendered one starship
either dead or hopelessly crippled.

achievement in computer evolution.
760
00:44:25,943 --> 00:44:28,571
It will replace man
so man may achieve.
761
00:44:28,654 --> 00:44:32,450
Man must not risk death in space
or other dangerous occupations.
762
00:44:32,533 --> 00:44:35,828
This unit must survive
so man may be protected.

aboard those ships.

They were murdered.

Must you survive by murder?
767
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:51,385
M-5: This unit cannot murder.
768
00:44:52,345 --> 00:44:53,513
Why?
769
00:44:53,638 --> 00:44:56,891
M-5: Murder is contrary to the laws
of man and God.

Is there life aboard?
773

- M-5: No life.
- Because you murdered it.

What is the penalty for murder?
775
00:45:15,409 --> 00:45:16,828
M-5:
Death.

00:45:20,164 --> 00:45:22,166

to atone for the sin of murder.

we may get from the knowledge

00:46:28,649 --> 00:46:31,235
our 19 lives will buy the survival

to a total rehabilitation center.

Right now, he's under sedation
and heavy restraints.

I would say his multitronic unit
is in approximately the same condition.

That's exactly the situation
I was hoping for

when I forced the M-5 to realize
that it had committed murder.
822
00:47:53,567 --> 00:47:55,361
Daystrom felt such an act
823
00:47:55,486 --> 00:47:57,905
was an offense
against the laws of God and man.
824
00:47:57,989 --> 00:48:00,908
The computer that carried
his engrams also believed it.
825
00:48:01,033 --> 00:48:03,995
Captain, why did you feel
the attacking ships would not fire
826
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,706
when they saw the Enterprise
apparently vulnerable?
827
00:48:06,831 --> 00:48:10,584
Logically, that is the sort of trap
M-5 should have set for them.

I wasn't sure.

followed orders and destroyed us,

was compassion.

Compassion, that's the one thing
no machine ever had.
835
00:48:34,608 --> 00:48:37,611
Maybe it's the one thing
that keeps men ahead of them.

- No, doctor.

I have already answered that question.
