All language subtitles for Star Trek TAS S02E01.eng

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.

Captain's log, Stardate 0334.1.

The outbreak of choriocytosis
aboard the Enterprise

seems to be under control.

Dr. McCoy says

the disease is no longer
even as serious as pneumonia,

and there should be no problem
completing our present mission,

representing the Federation
at the dedication ceremonies

for the new Academy of Science
on Deneb V.

- Status, Mr. Spock?
- All systems affirmative, captain.

The Enterprise is on course
and on schedule.

It'll be nice to play diplomat
for a change, eh, Spock?

Kirk to Sickbay. Emergency!

Jim, choriocytosis is a strange disease.

In races with iron-based blood,
it's practically nothing,

- but in others...
- Get to the point, Bones.

Spock has contracted the disease.

It's fatal to Vulcans.

- Are you sure?
- I've triple-checked, Jim.

I wish to God I was wrong.

Spock's blood is copper-based.

The infection enters the bloodstream

and encases the cells
so they can't carry oxygen.

- The result is suffocation.
- Ah. Yes, Jim.

- Is there any cure?
- One.

A naturally-occurring drug
called strobolin.

But it's only found
on a few planets in the galaxy.

- Library computer.
- Working.

What is the nearest strobolin
supply planet to our present position?

Beta Canopus.

Four solar days away
at maximum warp.

How long can Spock last
without the drug?

I can give him injections
of a synthesized drug

that would slow the disease.

But after two days
the body builds up an immunity.

It loses its effectiveness.

By the end of the third day,
the disease will be irreversible.

It'll take four days to get the drug,
but Spock will die in three.

There's got to be a way!

- What about a rendezvous?
- Of course!

If we can't go out of our way
to get the drug in time,

there must be another ship
closer to Beta Canopus.

Kirk to Bridge.
Get me Starfleet, lieutenant.

Captain's log, supplemental.

We've arranged to get the strobolin
needed to save Mr. Spock's life.

The starship Potemkin
has already picked up the drug

and will transfer it to a freighter,
the SS Huron,

for delivery to the Enterprise.

What'll the symptoms be, Bones?

Increasing tiredness,
steadily decreasing efficiency,

all the symptoms of working
in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.

Kind of like the test you had to pass
back at the Academy.

Come.

- You wished to see me, sir?
- Uh, yes, Spock, sit down.

We've arranged a rendezvous
to pick up the drug you need.

I trust it will not affect
our scheduled arrival at Deneb V.

No, it won't.

- Will that be all, captain?
- One other thing.

I've cut your duty time in half.

Captain, that won't be necessary.
I'm quite able...

No arguments, Spock. Doctor's orders.

- Anything else, sir?
- That's all, Spock. Dismissed.

- It'll hurt seeing him like that.
- I know.

As much as it might seem at times

that I can't stand
that pointy-eared encyclopedia,

I don't want to see that happen to him.

ETA at rendezvous point, two hours
and seven minutes, captain.

Good.

That's a pretty important drug
we've got for the Enterprise.

I'd just as soon get rid of it
and get back to shipping just dilithium.

Sir, our sensors are picking up
a ship ahead.

- Could the Enterprise be that early?
- I'm not sure it's the Enterprise, sir.

It's too far away to tell.

- Where's it headed?
- Toward us, sir.

Keep an eye on it, lieutenant.

Time to rendezvous, Mr. Arex?

One hour, 43 minutes, sir.

I hate to ask, but...

Aye, captain, we'll squeeze
a wee bit more speed out of her.

McCoy to Bridge.

- What is it, Bones?
- Tell Spock it's time for another shot.

Mr. Spock.

- Spock.
- I was conserving energy, captain.

McCoy wants you in Sickbay.

Sensor readout, captain.

It's not the Enterprise
closing on us, sir.

- Another starship?
- No, sir.

It's an alien ship,
a design I've never seen before.

Put it on the screen.

You're sure it's following us?

It's on an intercept course now,
captain.

And at this speed, they'll get us
before we get to the Enterprise.

This won't hurt a bit, Spock.

An unnecessary assurance, doctor,
in addition to being untrue.

That's the last time I waste
my bedside manner on a Vulcan.

Such restraint would be welcome.

Not so fast, Spock. Lie there quietly.

Well, now that's not too bad.

- Back to work, Mr. Spock.
- Thank you, doctor.

- The drug isn't working anymore.
- I know, Christine. I know.

Don't worry,
we'll have the strobolin soon.

They've increased speed, sir,
closing fast.

Open hailing frequencies again.

Open, sir.

To unidentified alien vessel.

This is Captain O'Shea
of the SS Huron.

Please state your registry and purpose.

Repeat. Please identify yourself
and your purpose.

It's no use, sir.

They're receiving,
but they're not answering.

Well, we've got a hold full of dilithium
and that drug to protect.

Evasive maneuvers.

No good, captain.

Send out an emergency signal
to the Enterprise.

Yes, sir. Message from the alien, sir.

Let's hear it.

Prepare to surrender
your cargo, or be destroyed.

Captain, I'm getting a signal
from the Huron.

It's an emergency beacon, automated.

- Try ship-to-ship.
- I did, sir, no response.

Sensor report, Mr. Spock.

- Are they at the rendezvous point?
- No, sir. They hadn't reached it.

Compute new course, Mr. Arex.
Let's see what's going on.

The Huron's power levels are at
bare minimum for life support, captain.

I'm picking up metallic debris.

Was the Huron attacked?

Based on present data,
I would say yes.

- Spock, are you all right?
- Captain, I...

Bridge to Sickbay! Emergency!

McCoy:
We've got to have that drug, Jim.

The synthetic is useless now.

- Do what you can, Bones.
- Blasted Vulcan!

Why couldn't you have red blood
like any normal human?

- Status?
- The Huron's engines are dead.

Emergency battery power
is operating life support systems

at a low but acceptable level.

Still unable to make contact, sir.

- Is anyone on that ship alive?
- Yes, sir.

Mr. Scott, Lieutenant Uhura,
come with me.

Mr. Sulu, you have the conn.
We're beaming over.

Scotty, check the cargo hold.
See if the drug is there.

Aye, sir.

Uhura, see if you can get
a playback of the log.

I want to know what happened here.

Nurse, attend to the wounded.

Scott to Captain Kirk.

Kirk here. Report, Mr. Scott.

There's nothing down here, captain.

- No drug?
- No drug and no dilithium shipment.

The hold is completely empty.

All right. Report back up here.

This screen is out, sir.

But we can take the tapes
and play them back on the Enterprise.

Good. Nurse, how is he?

He needs surgery, captain,
but he'll live.

Kirk to Enterprise.

Ready to beam over.
Have a medical team standing by.

- How's O'Shea, Bones?
- He'll pull through.

Jim, what about Spock?

If we don't have that drug
in 20 hours, he'll die.

Captain's log, Stardate 0335.0.

The Huron has been left
as space junk, its engines sabotaged.

Captain O'Shea has no idea
who attacked his ship,

but the intruder must be found
and the precious cargo retrieved.

I've run the Huron's sensor tapes
through the computer, sir.

The intruder ship is a new design,

never before encountered
by Federation shipping.

- Can we track it?
- Yes, sir.

The intruder ship produces
a unique trail of radioactive waste,

now bearing 212 degrees,
mark 175.

Lay in that course, Sulu.
Ahead warp factor 7.

- How is he, Bones?
- Not good, Jim.

I'll have to put a respirator on him
to help him breathe soon.

We're following the intruder ship's trail.

We don't even know
if it's the right one.

It's got to be.

What's the use
of being a doctor, anyway?

We're only as good as our drugs
and technology make us.

Underneath all the tricks,

I might as well be practicing
in the Middle Ages.

If you really believed that, Bones,

you wouldn't still be a doctor
after 25 years.

Report.

Radioactive residue
still bearing 212 degrees, mark 175.

Increase speed to warp 8.

The trail goes through
the asteroid belt, captain.

A good place for an intruder to hide,
wouldn't you say, Mr. Sulu?

Perfect.
And a long-range sensor can show

that the radioactive residue stops
in the middle of the belt.

Deflectors up. Yellow Alert.
Cut speed to warp 1.

- What was that?
- These asteroids are composed

of a highly unstable
mineral combination, sir.

They explode upon impact
with each other.

Or anything else.

Keep those deflectors up, Mr. Scott.

Captain, if the power
of those rocks could be harnessed,

they'd make
a fantastic source of energy.

Also make quite a weapon.

Steady as she goes, Sulu.

Deflectors holding, sir.

Hard to port, Sulu.
Let's face them head-on.

Hold position.

- Analysis, Mr. Sulu?
- Standard phasers, sir. Weak, though.

A diffused, low-quality beam.
Our deflectors can stop them.

I recognize
the ship's markings, captain.

- It's an Orion.
- Orion.

- They're hailing us, captain.
- Put it on visual, lieutenant.

Enterprise, we demand that you cease
your pursuit immediately.

I must protest as a representative
of a neutral planet.

This is Captain Kirk.

For a neutral, you were pretty quick
to fire your phasers.

We couldn't be sure
you were non-hostile.

Orion's neutrality has been in dispute
ever since the affair

regarding the Coridan planets

and the Babel Conference
of Stardate 3850.3.

Yesterday, a Federation freighter
was attacked in this quadrant,

its cargo hijacked.

As the first alien ship encountered,

we require you to submit to search,
as per Babel Resolution A-12.

Reply.

We have no Federation cargo aboard.

Orions are not thieves.

If you don't cease this harassment,

we will lodge a formal protest
with your government.

Hold on that, Uhura.
Tell them to stand by.

Sensors picking up the dilithium
in their hold, sir.

What about the drug?

If they have it,
it's too small an amount to detect.

- Uhura, open the channel.
- Channel open, sir.

Enterprise to Orion vessel.
I have a proposal to make.

If you do have the Huron's cargo,
there were some perishable drugs in it

that we desperately need.

What would these drugs be worth
to you if we had them?

You keep the dilithium shipment,
no mention of the whole incident

to Starfleet or in my log,

plus an additional galactic
standard-weight container of dilithium

as payment for the drug.

We get what we want,
plus our neutrality remains intact?

- We will consider your offer.
- Very well. Kirk out.

- Kirk to Sickbay.
- McCoy here.

- Bones, how much time?
- Less than an hour, Jim.

His body functions
are slipping fast now.

Just hold out a little longer.

- The Orions are hailing us, sir.
- Put it on the screen, lieutenant.

Your proposal requires us to trust you.

It's obvious we can't.

- Do you have a counterproposal?
- Yes.

A face-to-face exchange
between you and me.

Face-to-face? Where?

On the large asteroid near our ships.

We could beam down simultaneously,
and I would hand you the drug myself.

You wouldn't even have to give us
the extra dilithium crystals.

Now it's your turn to consider.

- It's got to be a trap, Jim.
- No doubt of it, sir.

It could be a trap,
but it's the only way to get the drug.

And Spock will die if we don't.

You've already made up your mind,
haven't you, Jim?

Yes, but not without precautions.

I'll keep my communicator channel
open so you can hear what goes on.

Keep the transporter locked on me,
and if anything goes wrong,

Scotty, I'm trusting you.

If this doesn't work,
we could lose you and Spock.

If we don't try,
Spock doesn't have a chance.

Status, lieutenant?

We can't out shoot the Enterprise,
and we can't outrun it, sir.

- You're saying we can't escape?
- No, sir, we can't.

Orion's official neutrality comes
before this ship or its crew.

We can't take Kirk's word that he won't
report this incident to Starfleet.

The only way to avoid that
is to destroy the Enterprise,

and the only way to do that
is to destroy ourselves too.

- Do you have a plan, lieutenant?
- Yes, sir.

These asteroids are made
of highly explosive minerals.

Can we convert
the asteroid we're orbiting

into a doomsday bomb
that will destroy both ships?

- Yes, sir, but...
- But what?

Analysis of the asteroid shows that
it can't be detonated by our phasers.

What will it take?

A powerful explosive right
on the asteroid's surface.

I could rig a remote control device.

No.

I'll take it with me when I beam down
to meet Captain Kirk.

I want the satisfaction of seeing
his face when I tell him he and his crew

are going to die with us.

And I'm sure they don't trust us.

If Kirk and I are on the asteroid,
the Enterprise will stay close by.

Very well, sir. I'll get to work.

Enterprise to Orion vessel.

What is your answer, captain?

- I accept your terms.
- Very well.

We will synchronize coordinates
and beam down in 15 minutes.

Jim, we don't have a lot of time.
Spock...

Fifteen minutes or not at all, captain.

All right. Kirk out.

The drug, as promised, captain.

Scan it if you wish.

Pure strobolin.

I'll take that now
and we can both beam up.

No, captain, I can't trust that you won't
report this incident to Starfleet.

If you do,
my planet will lose its neutrality

and be subject
to Federation retaliation.

- You can't escape the Enterprise.
- But we can destroy it.

Picking up unusual sensor readings,
Mr. Scott.

What is it?

There's dilithium down there
with them, sir.

I have an explosive device
in my backpack

that will start a molecular chain reaction
and detonate this asteroid.

- Your ship will be destroyed.
- But so will yours.

All unsuccessful Orion missions
end in suicide.

The dilithium.

Transporter Room, pinpoint those
crystals down there and beam them up!

Pinpointed, Mr. Scott.

Beam them up now, lad.

Scotty, energize!

- Captain, it was close.
- Let's get up to the Bridge.

- They're gone, sir.
- Gone?

I was scanning as you ordered,

and they just disappeared
off the asteroid.

Both the Earther and the captain.

He's been captured, no doubt.

Arm our self-destruct system, ensign.

Open hailing frequencies, Uhura.

Grab him!

Poison. I'm sure your ship is ready
to self-destruct, captain,

but if it does,
your crew will die for nothing.

We're not going
to let you commit suicide.

Whether they die or not,
you'll still stand trial,

and Orion's little game
of neutrality and piracy is over.

I have the Orion vessel, sir.

This is Captain Kirk.
We have your captain as prisoner.

Your choice, sir.

Disarm the self-destruct system.

Prepare to surrender to the Enterprise.

Captain's log, Stardate 0330.2.

The Orion crew is in our brig,
their ship in tow,

and the Enterprise is back
on course for Deneb V.

McCoy:
Spock, there's no way you can deny it.

Dr. McCoy, I...

I've waited a long time for this,
and you're not going to cheat me.

- Am I interrupting something?
- Nothing but Dr. McCoy's gloating.

Spock, that green blood of yours
may have saved you before,

but this time it almost did you in.

You can't deny it.

I still prefer
my physiological structure to yours.

Yes, gentlemen,
things are back to normal.

He's as stubborn as ever.
