1
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,539
Thank you for allowing me
to meditate with you.
2
00:00:41,259 --> 00:00:44,699
This is normally done
in private, counselor...
3
00:00:45,049 --> 00:00:49,459
but it is an honor to teach Vulcan
techniques to one so willing.
4
00:00:52,049 --> 00:00:54,176
These sessions...
5
00:00:54,684 --> 00:00:58,463
They're the only times that Vulcans
pay attention to their emotions?
6
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:03,856
We find it salutary to have an interval
during which we ask ourselves
7
00:01:03,857 --> 00:01:06,283
the question no other Vulcan may:
8
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,880
"How do you feel?"
9
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:18,640
When this mission is over...
10
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,700
I will miss these times with you.
11
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:28,939
And I with you.
12
00:01:31,709 --> 00:01:34,179
Doctor, I believe you may benefit from
13
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:36,760
further teaching with masters on Vulcan.
14
00:01:38,549 --> 00:01:40,099
Perhaps you could as well.
15
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,200
There's a discipline called
the "Dalhutnar," isn't there?
16
00:01:45,219 --> 00:01:48,920
To help one accept the wisdom
of vestigial emotions.
17
00:01:49,659 --> 00:01:53,670
There is also the "Kolinahr":
the purging of all remaining emotions.
18
00:01:55,670 --> 00:02:00,120
There is no chance of me undertaking
the former, nor the latter.
19
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680
I am rarely disposed to discuss
matters of a private nature...
20
00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:15,120
but our relationship is... special.
21
00:02:18,569 --> 00:02:24,840
I have served aboard this starship for
sixteen years under two captains.
22
00:02:27,139 --> 00:02:29,819
I would not admit this
in front of Dr. McCoy...
23
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:35,700
but such a lengthy association with
24
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:40,520
men and women from Earth has
taught me to value
25
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:48,960
my maternal birthright in a way I never
could had I remained on Vulcan.
26
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:09,485
Captain's log,
stardate 6988.4.
27
00:03:09,486 --> 00:03:13,044
The Enterprise is scheduled
to return to Earth shortly.
28
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,480
I always intended to bring her back in one
piece, but the triumph is bittersweet.
29
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,280
The recent loss of our
sister ship still gnaws at me.
30
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,775
Whatever it was that caused
the Hood's crew to lose life support,
31
00:03:32,776 --> 00:03:35,124
killing all 430 men
and women aboard is...
32
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,929
Kirk here.
33
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:46,240
Priority incoming message from
the Chief of Starfleet Operations.
34
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:49,059
I'll take it down here, lieutenant.
35
00:03:52,539 --> 00:03:54,000
Admiral Thesp.
36
00:03:54,379 --> 00:03:57,055
Captain... priority one. We're
diverting you to Aldebaran.
37
00:03:59,819 --> 00:04:03,507
Admiral, considering the ships
we've lost in that system recently,
38
00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:05,343
do you think that's wise?
39
00:04:05,819 --> 00:04:07,920
Wise or not, it's necessary.
40
00:04:07,921 --> 00:04:11,046
The Yorktown and Republic
were severely damaged
41
00:04:11,047 --> 00:04:13,087
during their investigation
into the Hood's loss.
42
00:04:13,659 --> 00:04:15,469
And shortly afterwards,
43
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:19,564
the Federation colony on Aldebaran
III went completely silent.
44
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:23,639
How could an entire Federation
colony suddenly go silent?
45
00:04:27,019 --> 00:04:29,579
Starfleet has a top-secret
laboratory on that world.
46
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:34,740
The supply vessel we sent to investigate
the S.S. Halifax... never returned.
47
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,607
Before we lost contact,
the Halifax reported significant
48
00:04:39,608 --> 00:04:41,924
anti-proton residue
on the planet's surface.
49
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:44,960
I think you know what that means.
50
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,120
Romulans.
51
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,919
Space. The final frontier.
52
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:14,340
These are the voyages of the
Starship Enterprise.
53
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:16,836
Its continuing mission:
54
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,267
to explore strange new worlds.
55
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:23,120
To seek out new life
and new civilizations.
56
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,939
To boldly go
where no man has gone before.

58
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,399
Captain, readings indicate the colony
has been destroyed.
59
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Romulan plasma weapon?
60
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:21,467
Judging by the damage,
61
00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:24,642
it appears the central reactor has
suffered a containment failure.
62
00:06:24,938 --> 00:06:26,675
- That's unusual.
- It's impossible!
63
00:06:26,676 --> 00:06:28,538
I installed the safeguards
myself 5 years ago.
64
00:06:28,899 --> 00:06:30,799
Perhaps some kind of sabotage.
65
00:06:31,014 --> 00:06:33,377
At least the Pandora Science Lab's intact.
66
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:34,599
But it's underground...
67
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,064
and it generates a particle scattering
field. I'll have to put ya down outside.
68
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,000
- Just put us down in one piece, Scotty.
- Aye sir. - Energize.
69
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:19,459
The disruption field is
obstructing my readings.
70
00:07:25,339 --> 00:07:29,859
I am detecting 2 life forms
large enough to be humanoid.
71
00:07:36,139 --> 00:07:38,279
I don't suppose they left a key
under a rock somewhere.
72
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,959
I can attempt to access the lift using
standard Federation prefixes...
73
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:52,339
Automated defenses!
74
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:17,819
We must maintain the barrage! The drone
cannot fire through its own shields!
75
00:08:24,699 --> 00:08:28,014
Spock! Should the turret's anti-grav
beam be creating
76
00:08:28,015 --> 00:08:29,683
a gap on the bottom
of its deflector screen?
77
00:08:30,620 --> 00:08:34,360
- Highly possible.
- Let's find out.
78
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Fascinating.
79
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,559
You're Vulcan.
80
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:03,200
- You. You're Vulcan.
- Affirmative.
81
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,700
When a simple "yes" would do.
Vulcan for sure.
82
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,789
Forgive the attack. The drone's sensors
thought you were another Romulan invader.
83
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:19,279
The bio-signs are almost identical.
You're in charge?
84
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,820
Captain James T. Kirk.
Federation starship Enterprise.
85
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:25,639
"T" for Tiberius.
86
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:39,159
Who are you? What happened here?
87
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:42,279
You don't know?
88
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:48,879
It was your starship that first pierced
the barrier around our galaxy 5 years ago.
89
00:09:50,139 --> 00:09:56,259
An energy field that enhances humans
with high ESP quotients. "Uplifts" them.
90
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:02,419
Since then, certain Starfleet officials
have been assembling us.
91
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Testing us. Experimenting. 25 in total.
92
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,219
It appears you, too, have journeyed
through the barrier yourself.
93
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,740
- A trial run.
- Trial for what?
94
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:18,480
The ultimate last resort.
95
00:10:19,899 --> 00:10:22,059
Protection against invasion.
96
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,199
In the event the Federation is
ever invaded by a superior force,
97
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:28,579
we were to fly through the
galactic barrier.
98
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:32,919
Granting you superior powers.
Effectively weaponizing you.
99
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:36,199
The Federation isn't in the business
of weaponizing its citizens.
100
00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:39,620
You should better familiarize yourself
with the Starfleet charter.
101
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Article 14, Section 31.
102
00:10:43,659 --> 00:10:48,839
Captain. Absolute power does NOT
corrupt absolutely.
103
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,480
It corrupts SELECTIVELY...
104
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,255
as you know from experience.
105
00:10:54,256 --> 00:10:58,338
Aboard your ship, one uplifted
esper became a megalomaniac...
106
00:10:58,339 --> 00:11:01,484
while the other retained humanity.
107
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,799
And which are you?
108
00:11:06,019 --> 00:11:07,620
I follow "Sas-tar-Po-harn."
109
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:12,415
A human spiritual movement
that follows the pacifist
110
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,004
teachings of Surak
and T'Mord of Vulcan.
111
00:11:15,379 --> 00:11:19,182
Psychologically unsuitable espers
were excluded from this project.
112
00:11:19,183 --> 00:11:20,403
About my original question:
113
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:22,779
What happened here?
114
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:28,994
A cloaked vessel arrived.
115
00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:36,155
They overwhelmed the lab. Destroyed
the ship sent here to investigate.
116
00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:37,300
The Halifax.
117
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:43,720
The Romulans vaporized our scientists
and kidnapped the espers.
118
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:45,680
What about you?
119
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,699
I used my powers to suspend my life signs.
120
00:11:55,059 --> 00:11:56,159
I "played dead."
121
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,820
What do Romulans want with
a bunch of espers?
122
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:02,279
I believe I can surmise
the answer, lieutenant.
123
00:12:03,179 --> 00:12:05,258
Despite my advanced ESP rating,
124
00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:08,183
my experiences with the barrier
failed to uplift me.
125
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,280
I suspect Vulcan physiology renders us
immune to the psionic effects.
126
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:16,959
- And, if Vulcans cannot be uplifted...
- Then neither can Romulans.
127
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,280
They want to use the kidnapped espers
to form an attack force.
128
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:27,139
But not against us, captain.
Against the Romulan Praetor.
129
00:12:27,820 --> 00:12:30,240
They oppose his termination
of the Klingon alliance.
130
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,720
Romulan politics don't concern me.
Getting my people back does.
131
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,759
What's your name?
132
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:39,080
Lana.
133
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:41,353
You'll be safe with us, Lana.
134
00:12:41,899 --> 00:12:43,661
Captain, a word?
135
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:51,447
If you recall, it was incredibly
dangerous to have Mitchell
136
00:12:51,448 --> 00:12:53,903
aboard the Enterprise
after his powers had multiplied.
137
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:58,038
If we leave Lana here, she will remain
as we intended HIM to be:
138
00:12:58,039 --> 00:12:59,748
Isolated, where she could do no harm.
139
00:13:00,139 --> 00:13:01,899
You heard her Spock. She's a pacifist.
140
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:05,899
Besides, if we're going to pursue a
Romulan ship full of espers...
141
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,740
espers that've been turned...
I want us to have one of our own.
142
00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:13,510
A most logical position.
143
00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:15,279
You sound surprised.
144
00:13:17,059 --> 00:13:19,659
Captain, there is the matter of the
other life form I detected.
145
00:13:20,179 --> 00:13:21,859
That would be me, commander!
146
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:26,199
Drop your weapon!
147
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:30,639
Do you feel confident that you can shoot
me before I kill your captain? Disarm NOW.
148
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,740
Hold your position, lieutenant!
149
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,879
Surrender is not the Romulan way, captain.
150
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:45,179
Fire now, and this disruptor
will detonate. I have no quarrel with you.
151
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,700
Save yourselves.
But the mutant stays with me.
152
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,239
Given that particular model of firearm,
153
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,244
I believe we have approximately 38
seconds until a forced-chamber overload.
154
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,379
We will not abandon a Federation citizen!
155
00:13:58,779 --> 00:14:00,679
It seems you have little choice.
156
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,452
Kirk to Enterprise!
157
00:14:25,453 --> 00:14:27,364
Captain, we cannot
leave him here to die.
158
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:32,120
Emergency! Five to beam out... NOW!
159
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:53,319
Sulu has detected the Romulan kidnappers
on long-range sensors.
160
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,220
- We are on an intercept course.
- Excellent.
161
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:02,360
Admiral, I won't lie. They
have a head start. A good one.
162
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:06,159
They'll cross into the Neutral Zone before
we can catch them.
163
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,620
A week before my retirement.
164
00:15:11,674 --> 00:15:17,340
Captain, I'm ordering you to pursue those
"karskat" Romulans into the Zone...
165
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:20,378
all the way to the home
worlds if you have to.
166
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:25,903
Just get the espers back... no
matter what. Starfleet out.
167
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,939
- Kirk to bridge.
- Spock here.
168
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:49,559
Set a course for the Romulan Neutral Zone.
Maximum warp.
169
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:55,639
Acknowledged.
170
00:15:56,620 --> 00:15:57,620
Mr. Spock?
171
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:03,100
- You heard the order lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.
172
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,920
UHURA, transmit this encrypted message
on the following subspace frequency.
173
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,399
- Sir, that carrier wave is only used...
- Please proceed.
174
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,420
Direct any response to my quarters.
175
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:30,600
Four-oh. Perfect.
176
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:36,240
I try to take the stairs instead of
levitating whenever I can. Keep in shape.
177
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:40,138
- Captain!
- We're in hot pursuit.
178
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,563
We'll get your friends back.
179
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,720
Uh... the Romulan?
180
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:50,060
He's in our brig. Lana, why was
he still there on Aldebaran III?
181
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,020
I think he's a praetorian spy!
Must've infiltrated the dissidents.
182
00:16:57,059 --> 00:16:59,439
He fled to the hills
after they discovered him.
183
00:17:00,379 --> 00:17:05,019
We were the only people at the lab
for weeks. Our paths crossed frequently.
184
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,400
Do you trust him?
185
00:17:07,019 --> 00:17:08,559
About as far as I can throw him.
186
00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:12,539
Which... in your case...
I'd wager is pretty far.
187
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,140
Why didn't you use your abilities
to subdue him?
188
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:22,518
He has tremendous innate powers.
189
00:17:23,369 --> 00:17:26,764
And as I told you, captain...
I am a strict pacifist.
190
00:17:27,539 --> 00:17:31,460
I do not utilize my abilities to harm
others unless they pose a direct threat.
191
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:37,079
Bones. Speaking of "direct threats"...
we'll be engaging the Romulan ship soon.
192
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:39,539
I hope I don't have to call on you, but...
193
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,180
If I had a credit
for every time you said that.
194
00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:46,660
I have the chem lab synthesizing
hyronalin. Best against radiation burns.
195
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:48,820
Bridge to captain.
196
00:17:52,059 --> 00:17:53,099
Kirk here. Go ahead, Sulu.
197
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:55,500
The marauder's about to
cross into the Neutral Zone.
198
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Sound battle stations. I'm on my way.
199
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,011
How long until the Neutral Zone boundary?
200
00:18:10,012 --> 00:18:11,212
Ten seconds.
201
00:18:11,619 --> 00:18:14,437
- Lieutenant?
- Our orders recorded and logged, sir.
202
00:18:14,837 --> 00:18:16,018
Five seconds.
203
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Stay sharp, everyone.
204
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,854
Warning... treaty violation.
Warning... treaty violation.
205
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,500
Mute that, UHURA.
206
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,860
- On course for Romulan space.
- Keep an even hand on the tiller, Sulu.
207
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,399
Out of the frying pan... into the fire.
208
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:48,080
Scanning to one-half parsec.
209
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:52,839
There's no sign of the marauder, captain.
She could be cloaked.
210
00:18:54,779 --> 00:18:57,539
- I've got something on motion sensors!
- Can we get a phaser lock?
211
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,140
No sir... but he's out there.
212
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,500
See if you can boost the directional beam.
We need surgical precision.
213
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:05,799
Try to take out his engines without
endangering the habitat module.
214
00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:08,744
Captain, a Romulan ship
is decloaking off our port bow!
215
00:19:08,745 --> 00:19:09,384
Shields to maximum.
216
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,480
T'liss-class imperial bird-of-prey.
I have visual.
217
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,459
The marauder?
218
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,635
Negative. The vessel is registered
as the I.R.W. Hawk's Talon.
219
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,419
Captain, we're being hailed.
220
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,509
Commander.
221
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:52,240
I received Mr. Spock's message
requesting a parley.
222
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,492
Yet the fact remains:
223
00:19:57,493 --> 00:20:01,323
the Enterprise violated interstellar
law by entering Romulan space.
224
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:08,299
Shall we call it "war" now, Captain Kirk?
Or wait for an official declaration?
225
00:20:15,059 --> 00:20:18,339
Contacting the Romulans, Spock?
THAT Romulan?
226
00:20:19,019 --> 00:20:22,299
On your own initiative? What were you
thinking? Why didn't you ask me?
227
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,400
- You would not have agreed.
- Damn right I wouldn't have agreed!
228
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,519
You're lucky I don't rip one of those
stripes right off your sleeve.
229
00:20:31,299 --> 00:20:35,104
Captain, I became aware of reports
that Charvanek was granted
230
00:20:35,105 --> 00:20:38,163
command of a new bird-of-prey
after she was repatriated.
231
00:20:38,980 --> 00:20:41,326
I am confident, once I speak with her,
232
00:20:41,327 --> 00:20:45,644
that she will see the wisdom of assisting
us in pursuing the Romulan dissidents.
233
00:20:46,859 --> 00:20:50,679
- She and I have a rapport.
- A "rapport."
234
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:56,720
Bring her aboard.
235
00:20:59,259 --> 00:20:59,980
Spock.
236
00:21:02,380 --> 00:21:07,140
You have 30 minutes. I hope that's
enough time for your... rapport.
237
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:30,179
- Welcome aboard the Enterprise... again.
- Captain.
238
00:21:30,859 --> 00:21:34,559
Mr. Dickerson, please conduct the
lieutenant to guest quarters.
239
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,740
Aye, sir.
240
00:21:51,619 --> 00:21:53,020
"Jolan tru."
241
00:21:53,982 --> 00:21:58,143
And should I greet you as your people
would? "Live long and prosper"?
242
00:21:58,819 --> 00:22:00,019
You may greet me as you wish.
243
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,379
Human lore would suggest
I offer "the other cheek."
244
00:22:04,539 --> 00:22:07,579
I confess... the humans
did treat me well.
245
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:11,323
Still, I was surprised the exchange
was arranged so quickly.
246
00:22:11,619 --> 00:22:14,970
Logic dictated that your return
would entice your Praetor
247
00:22:14,971 --> 00:22:17,563
to release the Tellarite
merchants held on Remus.
248
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,480
You mean the Tellarite SPIES.
249
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:24,299
They would have sold the information
they acquired. My terminology is apt.
250
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:28,179
Hmm... Now who is being clever, Spock?
251
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,110
Your Praetor would seem quite loyal
to you. Is your loyalty to him as great?
252
00:22:36,819 --> 00:22:39,639
Commander, he needs your help.
253
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:42,899
I need your help.
254
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,459
Your father negotiated the arrangement
that led to my return.
255
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:52,984
The House of Sarek has my gratitude.
256
00:22:56,420 --> 00:22:59,279
I will aid you... if I can.
257
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,340
Commander, I appreciate your assistance.
258
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,522
Spock mentioned Romulan dissidents
259
00:23:07,523 --> 00:23:09,744
and kidnapped humans
with psionic abilities.
260
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,180
Our intelligence sources know
nothing of these "marauders."
261
00:23:14,019 --> 00:23:17,879
In order to track them, I will need their
ships' configurations. Armaments.
262
00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:20,580
Then we are... to use an Earth
expression... "in luck."
263
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,940
We apprehended a Romulan
commander on Aldebaran III...
264
00:23:24,299 --> 00:23:27,940
an undercover member of the vessel's crew
still loyal to the Praetor.
265
00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:39,960
"Jolan tru."
266
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:45,220
I have never seen this individual before!
He is certainly no Romulan commander.
267
00:23:45,539 --> 00:23:47,139
Are you sure?
268
00:23:53,539 --> 00:23:55,279
Transporter room,
what the hell's going on?!
269
00:23:56,559 --> 00:23:59,339
I beamed the prisoner out of the brig...
just as you ordered, sir.
270
00:23:59,740 --> 00:24:01,359
Dammit, chief! I gave no such order!
271
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:07,200
Captain, I know my fleet as well as you
know yours. That man was an imposter!
272
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,580
An imposter... who's now on the loose.
273
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,840
Captain, I swear I received
orders to transport the prisoner.
274
00:24:26,841 --> 00:24:28,823
I just... I don't know where.
275
00:24:29,180 --> 00:24:32,184
Sir, the targeting scanner's memory
logs have been erased.
276
00:24:32,185 --> 00:24:34,204
But the imposter could
not have traveled far.
277
00:24:34,619 --> 00:24:38,039
Our shields have been at full power since
Commander Charvanek beamed aboard.
278
00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:40,497
Then he's still on the Enterprise.
279
00:24:40,498 --> 00:24:43,163
Dickerson, I need security
teams on all decks.
280
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,220
Intruder alert! Main engineering!
281
00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:46,960
Looks like we found our man.
282
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,769
Sir! The mains are going offline!
283
00:25:05,059 --> 00:25:07,179
Hold your fire! He's released
the Electro-plasma!
284
00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:09,220
Hand-to-hand!
285
00:25:11,779 --> 00:25:12,940
Gotcha, ya lovely.
286
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,019
Clear!
287
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,642
If the nerve pinch
was as you described,
288
00:26:03,643 --> 00:26:05,904
Charvanek will be incapacitated
for at least 3 hours.
289
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,415
We don't have that kind
of time, doctor.
290
00:26:08,416 --> 00:26:10,804
Her second-in-command wants
her returned immediately.
291
00:26:11,019 --> 00:26:13,039
They ARE better equipped to
treat her than we are.
292
00:26:15,259 --> 00:26:19,660
Burke, prepare the commander
for transport. What's HIS status?
293
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,600
I'm keeping him under. Pulse
200, blood pressure 20/10.
294
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,300
- Romulan or Vulcan, they read the same.
- Vulcan?
295
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,319
The pressure hold he administered.
296
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:35,119
Spock's "Vulcan death grip."
297
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,360
Bingo. I've been doing some digging.
298
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:43,887
The Aldebaran colony's last
census listed one Vulcan.
299
00:26:43,888 --> 00:26:46,643
A male anthropologist named Sentek.
300
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,399
There's more, Jim. Federation records show
that he's married to our friend Lana.
301
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,803
And his ESP rating is through the roof.
302
00:26:55,420 --> 00:26:59,400
He's got natural psionic abilities way
beyond normal... even for a Vulcan.
303
00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:03,220
If his powers are already so strong,
why go to an esper lab?
304
00:27:03,940 --> 00:27:05,680
Maybe... to find a mate.
305
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:12,100
A human esper. One that could be uplifted
by the barrier... become his equal.
306
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,379
And one who's already embraced
Vulcan philosophy.
307
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:19,519
Wanna bet Lana's trip into the barrier
wasn't authorized by Starfleet?
308
00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:33,400
To see all the scientists killed...
to have everyone like you taken prisoner.
309
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:36,399
It must have been very difficult.
310
00:27:39,859 --> 00:27:47,859
Colleagues, neighbors, friends...
Awful.
311
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,120
It's important to allow yourself
time to grieve, Lana.
312
00:27:54,980 --> 00:27:56,880
I'd like to try and help if I can.
313
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,240
That was a brilliant performance.
We know about you and Sentek.
314
00:28:07,859 --> 00:28:09,299
Why don't you try the TRUTH this time?
315
00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:12,691
Captain, she's been through a terrible
ordeal.
316
00:28:12,692 --> 00:28:14,844
She scripted the ordeal, counselor!
317
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:18,079
Didn't you, Lana?
You and your husband.
318
00:28:19,299 --> 00:28:22,339
He wasn't going to commit suicide
with that disruptor overload at all.
319
00:28:23,099 --> 00:28:25,034
He was trying to blow
up the lab entrance
320
00:28:25,035 --> 00:28:27,123
so we couldn't find
out what REALLY happened.
321
00:28:36,099 --> 00:28:38,899
Human evolution has stalled, captain.
322
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,360
A typical man of 2270...
323
00:28:43,361 --> 00:28:51,361
like you... is no different physically
from a Cro-Magnon of 100,000 years ago.
324
00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:58,460
But WE are.
We are superior.
325
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:06,000
I thought you said absolute power
only corrupts selectively.
326
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,400
And SELECTION... whether natural or
artificial... is the engine of evolution.
327
00:29:13,859 --> 00:29:17,139
Your kind should embrace your fate.
328
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:25,059
Instead, you try to control us.
Use us.
329
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:34,180
Chief.
330
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,759
Why do you suppose the Preservers
erected a barrier around our galaxy?
331
00:29:48,619 --> 00:29:51,779
Why? Hell, probably to contain us.
332
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:54,759
To keep violence from spilling
into the universe.
333
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,559
No. It was so that naturally superior
individuals could be uplifted...
334
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:04,539
once we had the technology to
venture into the stars.
335
00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:06,920
You don't know what gods think!
336
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,460
Yes. I do.
337
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:36,220
Still no sign of the marauder.
He was there... and then he wasn't.
338
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Subcommander?
339
00:30:39,619 --> 00:30:45,059
Subspace scan completed. We find no
evidence of a cloaked vessel, Enterprise.
340
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:48,220
The sensor logs you requested.
341
00:30:49,259 --> 00:30:52,738
Our trace of the Romulan kidnappers
disappeared after Sentek
342
00:30:52,739 --> 00:30:54,403
lost consciousness and Lana
was put in the brig.
343
00:30:55,579 --> 00:30:57,689
So that's why he tried
to disable the power grid:
344
00:30:57,690 --> 00:31:00,203
to prevent us from realizing
the ship was an illusion!
345
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:01,699
So it would seem.
346
00:31:07,380 --> 00:31:10,580
Mr. Palmer, run a level 3 diagnostic on
our long-range sensors.
347
00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:13,130
Let's see how badly
they've been compromised.
348
00:31:13,131 --> 00:31:13,764
Yes sir.
349
00:31:14,779 --> 00:31:19,167
Lt. Sulu... if there is no
"Romulan marauder,"
350
00:31:19,168 --> 00:31:22,593
then the Enterprise entered
our space without provocation.
351
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,519
Starfleet is clearly the aggressor.
352
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,120
Subcommander, that's for diplomats
to decide. For now...
353
00:31:28,460 --> 00:31:33,250
For now, you will stand down and
surrender to the Romulan Star Empire!
354
00:31:34,859 --> 00:31:38,339
Sir, the bird-of-prey is charging
its plasma weapon!
355
00:31:38,859 --> 00:31:41,824
Captain Kirk to the bridge.
356
00:31:42,099 --> 00:31:44,570
Go ahead, Tal. Open fire.
357
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,111
And tell your Praetor why you destroyed
358
00:31:47,112 --> 00:31:49,724
a Federation starship
instead of capturing it.
359
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,559
Your ship's mission is about to end.
It is scheduled to return to Earth...
360
00:31:54,859 --> 00:31:59,479
and our sources inform us only 3 other
ships of its class remain in service.
361
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:03,480
We have no interest
in obsolete technology.
362
00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:06,440
"Obsolete"?!
363
00:32:07,859 --> 00:32:13,339
A shame. Unlike you, lieutenant, your
Mr. Spock had an agreeable cunning.
364
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:17,180
May his "katra" find its
way to "Vorta Vor."
365
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:23,179
Evasive maneuvers! Brace for impact!
366
00:32:23,420 --> 00:32:26,880
Romulan weapon reaching
full charge in 3... 2... 1...
367
00:32:43,779 --> 00:32:47,000
- Why haven't you fired?!
- Subcommander, I HAVE!
368
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,140
Stand aside!
369
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:05,980
Scans show their plasma torpedo
fully charged and operational.
370
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:10,779
- Why didn't they fire?
- I'm betting they think they did.
371
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,120
Subcommander! Power down
our weapons immediately!
372
00:33:17,779 --> 00:33:21,299
Sir. You have recovered sufficiently
to return to duty?
373
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,960
The second time you've had to
relinquish command back to me, isn't it?
374
00:33:26,319 --> 00:33:28,019
Your glory is mine, commander.
375
00:33:28,619 --> 00:33:33,339
Tal, we will assist the Enterprise in
its mission. Is that understood?
376
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:36,079
Commander, we have them!
Here in Romulan space!
377
00:33:36,259 --> 00:33:40,353
I have no intention of permitting human
espers... nor Romulan dissidents...
378
00:33:40,354 --> 00:33:42,623
to attack the Praetor. Or worse.
379
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,603
I suspect there is a greater plan here.
380
00:33:45,604 --> 00:33:50,524
A plan that may jeopardize
both the Federation and our Star Empire.
381
00:33:50,740 --> 00:33:52,900
Your loyalty to the Praetor is admirable.
382
00:33:53,380 --> 00:33:55,910
As, I assume, is yours.
383
00:33:57,559 --> 00:33:59,059
Absolutely, commander.
384
00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:06,300
What's our status?
385
00:34:06,740 --> 00:34:09,147
Mr. Scott enhanced the forcefield
with the ship's shield grid.
386
00:34:09,148 --> 00:34:10,504
Nobody's gonna beam through that.
387
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,780
- Indeed. Rather ingenious.
- I'd expect nothing less.
388
00:34:16,460 --> 00:34:20,300
Sulu says you fooled Subcommander Tal into
thinking his weapons malfunctioned.
389
00:34:22,420 --> 00:34:24,180
No need to thank me, captain.
390
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,720
Just like you fooled US into thinking
Romulans kidnapped the espers.
391
00:34:30,659 --> 00:34:32,659
Your people STOLE
the Halifax, didn't they?
392
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,660
You knew Starfleet would send
another ship to investigate.
393
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,400
Sooner or later, we'd track them down.
So you and Sentek stayed behind...
394
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:45,369
projected that illusion
of a marauding vessel...
395
00:34:46,259 --> 00:34:49,744
to buy your compatriots the time they need
to make it to the galactic barrier.
396
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,780
Simple humans are so easy to deceive.
397
00:34:55,659 --> 00:34:59,859
They can be tricked into
doing almost anything.
398
00:35:06,780 --> 00:35:08,380
Like shutting down their own life support.
399
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,819
The Hood. My God... that's
what happened to the Hood!
400
00:35:17,059 --> 00:35:17,639
Why?
401
00:35:18,340 --> 00:35:19,670
Lana, why?
402
00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:24,139
To see if we could.
403
00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:30,793
There's nothing you... or anyone...
can do now.
404
00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:34,843
My brethren will be
uplifted by the barrier.
405
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:42,240
Even the great James T. Kirk
will be brought to his knees.
406
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:56,539
Captain's log, supplemental. What have
I done bringing an esper mutant on board?
407
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,960
I've been exhausted... but has
my judgment been compromised?
408
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,599
Have I put my ship at unnecessary risk?
409
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,399
In the hopes that my senior staff can
provide some insight,
410
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,180
I've assembled those who were present
when we first crossed the barrier...
411
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:12,460
what seems like an eternity ago.
412
00:36:12,980 --> 00:36:16,800
Ladies and gentlemen, I direct
your attention to stardate 1312.
413
00:36:17,579 --> 00:36:19,587
The so-called "galactic barrier."
414
00:36:19,588 --> 00:36:22,723
A field composed of negative
energy surrounding our galaxy.
415
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:24,239
Effectively encasing it.
416
00:36:24,980 --> 00:36:27,340
Early in the Enterprise's five-year
mission,
417
00:36:28,139 --> 00:36:31,741
I ordered us across the barrier
to investigate the disappearance
418
00:36:31,742 --> 00:36:35,024
of an old Earth vessel
some 200 years earlier.
419
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,339
I think we all remember what happened.
420
00:36:37,739 --> 00:36:39,500
Except for those of us
that weren't yet aboard.
421
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,285
We've read the reports, captain.
422
00:36:42,286 --> 00:36:45,984
Two crewmembers with high ESP ratings
had their abilities altered.
423
00:36:46,889 --> 00:36:50,219
Correction. Their abilities
BOOSTED. Exponentially.
424
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,160
So, when the Halifax reaches that barrier
with all of those espers on board...
425
00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:00,079
Counselor, that is precisely
what we must prevent.
426
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:03,322
It is logical that the espers
will endeavor
427
00:37:03,323 --> 00:37:05,364
to enter the galactic barrier here,
428
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:08,259
at the point nearest the Aldebaran system.
429
00:37:08,739 --> 00:37:12,039
The Halifax is a low-warp ship.
That journey would take weeks.
430
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,140
But it's been weeks since they stole the
wessel. What if they already made it?
431
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,162
Lt. Smith... As I recall,
432
00:37:20,163 --> 00:37:23,383
you were holding Commander Mitchell's hand
when the crossing occurred.
433
00:37:24,139 --> 00:37:25,790
Any insight you can provide?
434
00:37:25,791 --> 00:37:29,403
Anything unique you may have
experienced via physical contact?
435
00:37:33,679 --> 00:37:36,000
Nothing I didn't put in my report, sir.
436
00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:40,279
Mr. Spock, defeating one god was hard
enough. But a ship full of 'em...!
437
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,619
They're not "gods," Scotty.
They're just humans.
438
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:47,219
Even with all his power, Gary was still
susceptible to human frailty.
439
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,400
Hell, he couldn't even
remember my middle name.
440
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,960
Precisely. An uplifted esper's strength
weakens as it is expended.
441
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,380
Then we must use that to our advantage.
Strike first... before they grow stronger.
442
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:02,800
We're not out to defeat them, commander.
443
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,202
They're Federation citizens...
our brothers, sisters...
444
00:38:07,203 --> 00:38:08,694
even if they are misguided.
445
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:13,719
Consider this a rescue mission.
446
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,435
Captain,
transmission from the U.S.S. Kongo.
447
00:38:17,436 --> 00:38:18,823
They've picked
up the Halifax's ion trail.
448
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:22,599
Transfer it to this computer. And tell
Captain Asmi we'll be joining the chase.
449
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:24,960
You heard her. Get to work.
450
00:38:32,059 --> 00:38:34,777
Sir, even at maximum sustainable speed,
451
00:38:34,778 --> 00:38:37,543
we can't catch the Halifax
before it enters the barrier.
452
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,679
Commander.
453
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:45,000
What are your ship's warp capabilities?
454
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:50,199
Our birds-of-prey do not utilize what
you refer to as "warp power."
455
00:38:51,139 --> 00:38:53,319
We use other methods to
travel faster than light.
456
00:38:53,860 --> 00:38:57,261
Indeed. There is speculation
that Romulans employ
457
00:38:57,262 --> 00:39:00,284
confined quantum
singularities to bend space.
458
00:39:02,179 --> 00:39:03,379
I cannot confirm that.
459
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,966
What if a traditional
warp field and the fold
460
00:39:06,967 --> 00:39:08,884
from an artificial
singularity OVERLAPPED?
461
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:14,300
A background in astro-sciences comes in
handy when you're a helm officer.
462
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:22,340
- It may be possible.
- Sulu, you're a genius.
463
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:24,699
Who am I to argue with you, sir.
464
00:39:25,099 --> 00:39:27,779
Work with Scotty and the Romulan
engineers to enhance our velocity.
465
00:39:30,059 --> 00:39:32,360
Let's see how fast we can
get our girl to go.
466
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,320
Lower your deflectors, Enterprise.
467
00:39:47,019 --> 00:39:50,219
- Mr. Chekov? - Shields down.
- Tractor beam standing by.
468
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,040
Activate tractors.
Extend superluminal fold.
469
00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:11,340
Scott to bridge! I've routed the primary
tractor beam through the shuttle bay.
470
00:40:11,579 --> 00:40:14,420
But captain... she's not designed to
take this sort a' strain for long!
471
00:40:14,739 --> 00:40:19,561
You always say that...
and she always does. Mr. Smith?
472
00:40:20,563 --> 00:40:21,532
Punch it.
473
00:40:22,219 --> 00:40:23,099
Yes sir!
474
00:40:36,820 --> 00:40:38,420
Six different systems red-lining!
475
00:40:38,699 --> 00:40:40,991
Let them red-line!
476
00:40:41,099 --> 00:40:43,000
Aye. Me poor bairns.
477
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:47,619
Well I'll be damned...
478
00:41:54,739 --> 00:41:56,719
Sir, galactic barrier dead ahead.
479
00:41:56,940 --> 00:41:58,800
Signal the Hawk's Talon.
Full stop.
480
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,920
As before, sensors and deflectors
yield inexplicable readings.
481
00:42:25,219 --> 00:42:29,239
Charvanek to Enterprise.
She's fiercely beautiful, isn't she?
482
00:42:29,659 --> 00:42:32,639
Indeed she is. And deadly
483
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:36,935
Sir, we're picking
up a wessel at the barrier.
484
00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:38,971
Full mag.
485
00:42:46,039 --> 00:42:48,759
Identification confirmed: S.S. Halifax.
486
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,720
Ship-to-ship.
487
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,460
Hailing frequencies open.
488
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,759
This is Captain James Kirk
of the Starship Enterprise.
489
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,519
We are here to render aid.
490
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:08,159
I understand that you have grievances,
and we offer our services
491
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:10,199
as go-betweens with Starfleet Command.
492
00:43:11,619 --> 00:43:16,559
But it is crucial that you DO NOT
enter the barrier. Please reply.
493
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,500
- UHURA, anything?
- Just silence.
494
00:43:32,579 --> 00:43:33,819
There is no one aboard.
495
00:43:35,019 --> 00:43:39,860
Captain, we're detecting
another ship nearby. A starship!
496
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:58,299
Scanning. It is the Kongo, sir. We are
receiving anomalous readings.
497
00:43:59,000 --> 00:43:59,800
Specify.
498
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:03,559
It would appear there are only about
two-dozen life forms aboard.
499
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,039
I've tied
into the Kongo's bridge, captain.
500
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:09,740
Put it on screen.
501
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:43,079
You're too late, captain.
Relinquish command...
