KIRK:
Captain's log, stardate 5928.5.

We've received a distress call
from scientists on Camus II

who are exploring the ruins
of a dead civilization.

Their situation is desperate.

Two of the survivors
are surgeon Dr. Coleman

and the leader of the expedition,
Dr. Janice Lester.

- What's wrong?
- Exposure to radiation.

What form of radiation?

Nothing I've ever encountered.

Janice... you must remain
absolutely quiet.

Those are doctor's orders, not mine.

Tricorder picking up faint life readings
approximately 700 meters from here.

Help will have to be immediate.

[GROANS]

Perhaps your presence will quiet her.

- I hoped I wouldn't see you again.
- I don't blame you.

The year we were together at Starfleet
is the only time in my life I was alive.

I never kept you from your space work.

Your world of starship captains
doesn't admit women.

- It isn't fair.
- No, it isn't.

And you punished and tortured me
because of it.

I loved you.

We could have roamed
among the stars.

We'd have killed each other.

It might have been better.

KIRK:
Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

Its five-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no man
has gone before.

You had your chance. You
should have smothered the life in me.

They would have said, "Dr. Lester

died of radiation poisoning
in the line of duty."

Why didn't you do it?
You always wanted to, didn't you?

You had the strength to do it.

But you were afraid.
You were always afraid.

Now Janice Lester takes
the place of Captain Kirk.

I already possess
your physical strength.

Only this Captain Kirk
is not afraid to kill.

[MOANS]

Now you know the indignity
of being a woman.

For you this agony will soon pass,
as it has for me.

Quiet! Quiet!

Believe me, it is better to be dead than
to live alone in the body of a woman.

It's better to be dead.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Dr. McCoy. Your report.

Nothing could be done.

Was it radiation as suggested?

No, I believe it was celebium.
Dr. Coleman disagrees.

To be specific is essential,
because the treatment of celebium...

Did you notice any
unusual symptoms?

Nothing at all.
She was unconscious.

Dr. Lester is near death.

Perhaps the shock of knowing what
happened to her staff is the problem.

I'm sure it is.

Beaming her up to the Enterprise
will be less harmful.

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Captain Kirk to the Enterprise.
Kirk to the Enterprise.

Mr. Scott, sir.

Prepare to beam the landing party
aboard plus two others.

Have a medical team standing by to
receive the patient. Captain Kirk out.

Prepare to beam aboard.

Dr. Coleman, accompany
the patient to the Sickbay.

Mr. Spock, take the ship out of orbit.

Resume designated course.

Dr. McCoy, you and Dr. Coleman
seem to disagree on diagnosis.

Not entirely.
We both agree it's radiation.

Dr. Coleman isn't prepared
to say what form.

Will it affect your arriving
at a correct treatment?

It's crucial.

Well, this is especially disturbing to me
for... personal reasons.

- I didn't know you knew her that well.
- It's been a long time since I saw her.

I walked out on her
when it became serious.

You must have been
very young at the time.

Youth doesn't excuse everything.

- It's a very unhappy memory for me.
- I didn't realize that.

- I shall do everything in my power.
- Thank you very much.

Dr. Lester... is a very lucky
young person to have escaped.

Yes, very lucky. Very lucky.

[GROANS]

- Just began.
- You'd better put a stop to it.

If you allow her to become conscious,
she'll know what happened.

- Probably no one will believe it.
- Probably?

That's all we can ask for.

How can death be explained now?

- I tell you it can't continue.
- You killed every one of the staff.

You sent them where
the celebium shielding was weak.

Why didn't you kill him?
You had the perfect opportunity.

There wasn't enough time.

I gave you every minute
you asked for.

He hung onto life too hard.
I couldn't...

You couldn't because you love him.
You want me to be his murderer.

Love... him? I love the life he led.

The power of a starship commander.

- It's my life now.
- I won't become a murderer.

You are a murderer!

You knew it was celebium
and could have treated them.

You're a murderer many times over.

Jim, what are you doing here?

I thought my presence might quiet her.
It's the opposite.

It's nothing to do with you.
It's a symptom of radiation illness.

Tests show there's no signs
of internal radiation damage.

Didn't Dr. Lester's staff become
delirious before they died?

Yes, Captain.

Dr. Lester could be suffering from
a phaser stun as far as I can detect.

Dr. Coleman, Dr. McCoy's
had a great deal of experience

with radiation exposure
on board the Enterprise.

I am guided by his opinion.

Dr. Lester and her staff have been
under my supervision for two years.

If you don't follow
my recommendations,

responsibility for her health
or her death will be yours.

Dr. McCoy, I have to take you off the
case and turn it over to Dr. Coleman.

You can't do this. On this ship,
my medical authority is final.

Dr. Coleman wants
to assume responsibility.

- I won't allow it.
- It's done.

Dr. Coleman, your patient.

- Didn't you suggest sedation?
- Yes, Captain.

It's not necessary.
Can't you see she's coming around?

- Dr. Coleman.
- Nurse, administer the sedative.

A sedative is not wise at this time.

Nurse Chapel, you have your orders.

Nurse Chapel, follow your instructions.

I'm... relinquishing command
of the Enterprise.

Oh, no, bad dream. Bad dream.

JANICE: Kirk is returning to consciousness
in the body of Janice Lester.

The Enterprise is proceeding to its
next mission on the course set for it.

The years I spent studying every detail
of the ship's operation will be tested.

With a little experience,
I will be invulnerable to suspicion.

At last I attained what is my just due --
command of a starship.

All the months of preparation
now come to fruition.

- Course, Mr. Chekov.
- 127, mark 8.

Mr. Sulu, set speed at warp factor 2.

Warp factor 2, sir.

Mr. Chekov, plot a course
for the Benecia Colony.

Course to Benecia 373, mark 8.

How long to the colony
at our present speed?

- 48 hours, sir.
- Mr. Sulu, set course for the colony.

- 373, mark 8.
- Aye, sir. 373 mark 8.

That will delay our work at Beta
Aurigae. It means reversing course.

We must take Dr. Lester
to where she can be treated.

May I point out that Starbase 2 is on
the direct route to our destination?

- How long to Starbase 2?
- 72 hours, Captain.

24 hours too long. Dr. Lester's
condition is increasingly serious.

- Continue present course.
- Aye, sir.

If the diagnosis of Dr. Lester's illness
is the critical problem,

then the Benecia Colony
is not the place for her.

Their medical facilities are primitive.

- They will have to serve.
- Starbase 2 is equipped.

And staffed with specialists

to determine exactly
what is wrong with the doctor.

- Is that not crucial to your decision?
- Thank you, Mr. Spock.

The facilities will be of little use
if she's dead.

Time is of the essence.
Continue present course.

At maximum speed, Starbase 2
would still meet the emergency.

Captain, shall I advise Starfleet
Command of the change of plan?

No change of plan has been ordered.
Arrival at Beta Aurigae will be delayed.

Our gravitational studies will not suffer
and a life may be saved.

That is not unusual procedure
for the Enterprise.

Starfleet will have to be notified

that our rendezvous with the Potemkin
will not take place as scheduled.

If you'd concentrate on areas
for which you are responsible,

Starfleet Command
would have been informed already.

Since the captain usually deals directly
with Starfleet in these matters,

I assumed that my suggestions
might be deemed interference.

Inform Starfleet of the delay,
Lieutenant. Continue present course.

Increase speed to warp factor 6.

I'll let my record speak for me.

Why are you being so defensive?
There's no implied criticism of you.

That is not why I'm here. Dr. Coleman's
record states that he's incompetent.

That's the opinion of an individual.

That is the opinion of Starfleet.
I checked.

Dr. Coleman was removed from his
post for administrative incompetence.

He has no administrative duties.

As well as flagrant medical blunders.

Promotions and demotions
can be politically maneuvered.

Not in Starfleet Headquarters,
Captain!

And certainly not
in the surgeon general's office.

I'm afraid the order will have to stand.

Dr. Coleman's experience
with what happened on the planet

had to be the deciding factor here.

I'm sure you can appreciate that.

I appreciate
that you had a decision to make.

I also find myself
in that position now, Jim.

I'm asking you
to report for an examination.

Why? What do you base that on?

Development of emotional instability
and erratic mental attitudes

since returning from that planet.

You'll never make that charge stick.
Any fool can see why you're doing this.

I'll let Starfleet Command
be the judge of my motives.

I won't submit
to this petty search for revenge.

But you will submit
to Starfleet regulations,

and they state that the ship's surgeon
will require examination

of any crewmember that he has doubts
about, including the captain.

[COMMUNICATOR BLEEPS]

- Captain Kirk here.
- Sulu here, Captain.

Starfleet is requesting
additional details on the delay.

I'll be right there.

Pulse pressure...

...blood count, all body functions
normal, then why am I here?

Dr. McCoy?

Dr. McCoy...

- Quiet would be best for you.
- Where's Dr. McCoy?

- I'm in charge now.
- Bring Dr. McCoy at once.

He is in command of medicine here.

He was taken off your case
by Captain Kirk.

By Captain Kirk?

It was done
for your own protection, Dr. Lester.

I am not Janice Lester. She did this to
me. How can I make you understand?

Janice has driven herself mad
with jealousy, hatred and ambition.

Nurse Chapel, bring Mr. Spock
and Dr. McCoy to me at once.

They must believe I am not Janice
Lester. I'm imprisoned in her body.

She is suffering from the delusion
of being Captain Kirk.

I am not Janice Lester!

The paranoia has been developing
for six months.

The radiation has intensified it.
She must be kept sedated.

- Shall I prepare a mild sedative?
- Of course.

You are insane, Dr. Lester.

KIRK: Captain's log, stardate unknown.
I have lost track of time.

I am still held captive in a strange body
and separated from all my crew.

I must have sounded
quite mad to you before.

What you've been through
would break most of us.

I'll be all right now.
Could I see your Dr. McCoy?

That's against Dr. Coleman's orders.

Is a visit by that very kind
Mr. Spock to be allowed?

Perhaps before
we reach the Benecia Colony.

Isn't the Enterprise to rendezvous
with the Potemkin at Beta Aurigae?

First we have to let you
recuperate at Benecia.

You'll feel better if you have a little.

Well, I'll try. Thank you.

It's good. Thank you.

Could I finish it slowly, Nurse Chapel?

- Well...
- I promise I'll be good.

I'll be right back.

I'm glad you're feeling
so much better.

These tests should help me
pinpoint Jim's illness.

Good. Knowledge of the captain's
behavior is spreading.

The crew is becoming
increasingly tense.

What worries me most

is that Jim seems unaware
something is wrong with him.

We've got to make him realize it's
serious before treatment can begin.

I'm afraid that is a forlorn hope. The
illness appears to be primarily mental.

One of us should be able
to get to him.

I keep looking for an approach, but the
speed of the illness makes it difficult.

Perhaps the surgeon general
should be alerted.

Headquarters are only interested
in results of specific tests.

All we have are our opinions.

Are you sure the captain will comply
with your order in this state of mind?

I'll lose my medical authority
to enforce it.

Doctor, we are treading
on very thin ground.

Actions such as these
might be misinterpreted.

Then so be it.
Our responsibility is clear.

Whatever happened to the captain

took place in the short space of time
he was alone with Dr. Lester.

A conversation
with her might shed some light.

It's worth a try. You try to get to
Dr. Lester while I examine Jim.

Well, gentlemen. I'm here, Doctor.

Spock, Bones, help me.
Don't let them lock me away.

I've got to talk to you.

Jim!

She might have killed someone.

Put her in isolation.
Maintain a 24-hour watch.

No one, absolutely no one is to
talk to her without my permission.

- How is the doctor?
- She regained consciousness.

- I have a few questions to ask her.
- Did the captain order it?

Why should he? They are my
questions. I am ordering it.

He said no one
is allowed to speak to her.

Has such an order
ever included his senior officers?

No, sir.

Mr. Spock, I think the captain meant
a guard should be present.

By all means, Lieutenant.

That's enough. That's enough.

Your heart will last for ever, Captain.

- How am I otherwise?
- In the pink as usual.

Liver, kidney, blood count,
metabolic rate,

everything, even your glands,
functioning at their usual efficiency.

Good. I hope you're
as pleased about it as I am.

Don't get dressed yet.

You said I was in perfect condition.

Physically.

Another test isn't necessary.

The Robbiani dermal-optic is crucial.

It reveals the basic emotional structure.
You had one once before.

I need another to compare
with that previous test.

There should be no change
in your dermal-optic reactions

to the color wave lengths.

Over here, Captain.

Over here, Captain.

Complete life-entity transfer with
the aid of a mechanical device?

That's what it must have been.

Such total transfer has never been
accomplished with complete success

anywhere in the galaxy.

It was accomplished
long ago on Camus II.

- I'm a living example.
- That is your claim.

As yet it is unsubstantiated
by any... external evidence,

or objective tests.

Nevertheless, Spock,
it is the truth I'm speaking.

Now lower your arms
and open your eyes.

At this moment,
Dr. McCoy is examining

the captain for
psychological changes.

If any facts are uncovered,
that would be acceptable evidence.

The only kind which is
acceptable to Starfleet

and the crew of the Enterprise.

Spock, when I was caught in
the interphase of the Tholian sector,

you risked your life
and the Enterprise to get me back.

Help me get back now.

When the Vians of Minara demanded
that we let Bones die,

we didn't permit it.

That is true. The captain did not.

However, those events
have been recorded.

They could have
become known to you.

You are closer to the captain
than anyone in the universe.

You know his thoughts.

What does your telepathic mind
tell you now?

I believe you.

However, my belief
is not acceptable evidence.

Evidence must be factual.
Dr. McCoy may be of help.

Come with me.

I'm sorry, sir,
but Dr. Lester cannot leave here.

Are you satisfied
with the results of the test?

There is no evidence of any disorder.

I can't violate the captain's orders.

- He is not the captain.
- You're as mad as she is.

You're to leave here at once.
I follow orders.

Certainly, Lieutenant.
We all must do our duty.

Security guard!

No hard feelings, Bones.
You did your usual thorough job.

I'm sure everything's
going to be all right.

[BLEEPING]

MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Captain Kirk?

Captain Kirk here.

Escape attempt by Dr. Lester.

Captain Kirk to security.
On the double to Dr. Lester's room.

Quite all right.
Everything's under control.

Phasers.

A repetition of your physical violence
is not called for... sir.

No physical resistance will be offered.

Attention, all personnel. First Officer
Spock has been placed under arrest.

He has conspired with Dr. Lester
to take over the ship from your captain.

A hearing will be
immediately convened

to consider the charges
and specifications

of a general court martial

on the charge... of mutiny.

JANICE:
Captain's log, stardate 5930.3.

The results of Dr. McCoy's examination
have given me complete confidence.

My fears are past.
I shall function freely as the captain.

I am captain of the Enterprise,
in fact.

Surely you must have
more than that to go on.

I have stated my evidence.

Telepathic communication
with Captain Kirk's mind.

Your evidence is
completely subjective.

We have to have evidence
that we can examine out in the open.

You haven't had evidence
from the chief witness.

The real subject of this investigation
is kept locked away and in isolation.

Why, Captain?

She's dangerously insane.
We've seen the evidence.

She is dangerous
only to your authority, sir.

Mr. Spock.

My authority has been given
to me by Starfleet Command.

Only that high authority
can take it away.

The witness, sir. Bring on the witness.
Let your officers put the questions.

- Have Dr. Janice Lester brought here.
- Aye, sir.

Dr. McCoy, while Mr. Spock was busy
with his plot, what were you doing?

Examining you.

You were concerned about my health,
emotional and physical.

- Is that correct?
- Yes, that's correct.

Instead of trying to destroy me, you
were searching for ways to help me.

Dr. McCoy, for the record,
will you tell the court your findings?

The captain is in
good physical condition.

His emotional state is comparable to
the time he assumed command.

Thank you, Dr. McCoy.

Mr. Spock, were you aware
of Dr. McCoy's findings?

- I know them now.
- What have you to say... now?

I am disappointed and concerned

that there is no objective evidence
to support my position... so far.

Dr. Coleman, if you're required here,
we'll call you.

We appreciate you being here.

Everyone is aware
that you have been subjected

to inordinate emotional stress.

We'd hoped to avoid any further
stress, but Mr. Spock disagrees.

In his opinion,
your testimony is important

in determining the merits of this case.

Since we are solely interested
in arriving at a just decision,

I'm going to have to ask you
a few more questions.

I'll try not to upset you.

You er... claim... that you are...
Captain James T. Kirk?

No. I am not Captain Kirk.
That is very apparent.

I claim that whatever it is that makes
James Kirk a being special to himself

is being held here in this body.

However, as I understand it,
I am Dr. Janice Lester.

[ALL LAUGH]

That's very clever, but I didn't say it.

I said the body of James Kirk is
being used by Dr. Janice Lester.

Oh. A subtlety
that somehow escapes me.

I assume that this switch
was arrived at by mutual agreement.

No. It was brought about
by a violent attack by Dr. Lester

and the use of equipment
she discovered on Camus II.

Violence... by the lady,
perpetrated on Captain Kirk.

I ask the assembled personnel
to look at Dr. Janice Lester

and visualize that historic moment.

Can you tell me
why Dr. Janice Lester

would agree to this
ludicrous exchange?

Yes. To get the power she craved.

To attain a position she doesn't merit
by temperament or training.

And, most of all,
she wanted to murder James Kirk,

a man who once loved her.

But her hatred of her own womanhood
made life with her impossible.

Are you prepared with witnesses?
One will do.

There is only one issue here.

Is the story of life-entity transfer
believable?

This crew has been to many places
and witnessed many strange events.

They are trained to know what seems
to be impossible often is possible,

given the scientific analysis
of the phenomenon.

Have you ever heard of a case
such as described by Dr. Lester?

Not precisely, no.

Assuming that you are correct
in your belief,

do you expect Starfleet Command
to place this er... this er... person

in command of the Enterprise?

I expect only to reveal the truth.

If I am not captain, and knowing she
will not be allowed to serve as captain,

then you would be captain!
It is inevitable.

Give it up. Return to the Enterprise
family. All charges will be dropped.

And the madness that overcame
all of us on Camus II

will fade and be forgotten.

What will become of Dr. Lester?

Dr. Lester will be cared for always.

It is a responsibility
I owe her from the past.

No, sir, I shall not withdraw
a single charge that I have made.

You are not Captain Kirk. You have
ruthlessly appropriated his body,

but the life entity within you
is not Captain Kirk.

You do not belong in charge and I shall
do everything in my power against you.

Play back those last two sentences
from Mr. Spock's tirade.

You do not belong in charge. I shall do
everything in my power against you.

You heard the statement.
Do you understand its nature?

I do. And I stand by it.

It is mutiny! Deliberate, vindictive,
insane, in its base!

But mutiny as charged.
Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, you heard it.

I call for an immediate vote by
the powers granted to me as captain.

A recess is declared
to be followed by a vote.

An immediate vote before
our chief witness can be left to die

on an obscure planet
with the truth inside her.

Silence! You will be silent!

A recess has been declared.
No discussion.

When I return, we will vote
on the charge of mutiny.

The evidence presented here
is the only basis of your decision.

- Scotty.
- Doctor.

Doctor.

I've seen the captain feverish, sick,

drunk, delirious, terrified,
overjoyed, boiling mad.

But up to now I have never seen him
red-faced with hysteria.

I know how I'm going to vote.

I've been through this with Spock.

He's not being scientific
and neither are you.

It may not be scientific, but if Mr. Spock
thinks it happened, then it is logical.

Don't you think I know that? My tests
show there's nothing wrong with him.

That's the only fact Starfleet's
going to be interested in.

Headquarters has its problems
and we have ours.

And right now the captain
of the Enterprise is our problem.

They're going to call for the vote
in a few minutes.

Let me put one last question.

Suppose you vote with me
in favor of Spock.

That means two votes to one
and Spock is free.

What do you think
the captain will do?

- I don't know.
- You know all right.

It'll stick in his craw.

He'll never accept it.

- We don't know that.
- I tell you he won't.

Then, Doctor, that's the time
we move against him.

- We'll have to take over the ship.
- We're talking about mutiny, Scotty.

Aye.

Are you ready for the vote?

Yes. I'm ready for the vote.

Play the tape of the conversation
in the corridor.

Aye, sir.

Then's the time we move against him.
We'll have to take over the ship.

- We're talking about mutiny, Scotty.
- Aye.

- Are you ready for the vote?
- Enough. We know what was said.

Enough to convict you of conspiracy
with mutineers. You are so charged.

The sentence: death.

- Starfleet forbids the death penalty.
- Senior officers turning against me?

The death penalty is forbidden.
With one exception.

General order 4. It has not been
violated by any officer.

I am responsible. The execution
will be immediate. Go to your posts.

Go to your posts.

Mr. Lemli, take them to the brig.
Prepare for execution.

Go on!

He must be mad if he thinks
he can get away with execution.

He wouldn't order an execution
even if he were mad.

- It isn't the captain.
- What difference does it make?

Will we allow an execution?

If security backs him up,
how will we fight him?

I'll fight them every way I can.

Inform all sectors of my decision.

Have each send a representative
to the place of execution.

- How far to the Benicia Colony?
- Scanning range.

Plot coordinates for orbit.

Lock into coordinates
when orbit is accomplished.

Internment will take place
on Benicia.

You have received your orders!

You will obey my orders!

You will be charged with mutiny.

You will obey my orders or... or...

For a moment I... I thought
I was up on the bridge.

Perhaps you were.

It's possible the transference
can be broken.

- If it happens again, I'll fight to stay.
- The bridge is where you belong.

To accomplish that, each of us must
be ready to seize any opportunity

to break out of here and attack.

- The transference is weakening.
- What happened?

For a moment,
I found myself with the prisoners.

I will not go back
to being Janice Lester.

You must help me prevent it.

The only way to prevent it
is by the death of Janice Lester.

- You must carry out the execution.
- I can't.

The crew is in mutiny.

You must kill her for me.

I have done everything else for you.

- But I will not murder for you.
- Then do it for yourself.

If Kirk doesn't die,
we'll both be exposed as murderers.

Does that give you any choice?

The dosage should be doubly lethal.

It is.

To prevent conspiracy,
you will be removed to separate cells.

If there's any resistance, you'll be given
a sedative until you learn cooperation.

Dr. Lester will be first.

Follow Dr. Coleman.

May I point out, Captain...

Kill him!

Kill him. Aaah!

I've lost to the captain!

I've lost to James Kirk!
I want you dead!

I want you dead! I want you dead...

I'm never going to be the captain.

Never.

You are... You are as I loved you.

Kill him.

Can you do anything for her?

I'd like to take care of her.

Of course. Come with me.

I didn't want to destroy her.

I'm sure we all
understand that, Captain.

Her life could have been as rich
as any woman's, if only...

If only.
