the combination.
He's quite intelligent.
1 5 seconds, Admiral.
Khan, how do we know
you'll keep your word?
I've given you
no word to keep, Admiral.
In my judgment,
you simply have no alternative.
I see your point.
Stand by to receive
our transmission.
Mr. Sulu,
lock phasers on target
and await my command.
Phasers locked.
Time's up, Admiral.
Here it comes.
Now, Mr. Spock.
Sir, our shields are dropping.
Raise them!
I can't!
Where's the override?
The override?
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
We can't, sir!
Why can't you?
They've damaged the photon control
and the warp drive.
We must withdraw!
No! No!
We must!
Enterprise will wait.
She's not
going anywhere.
Sir, you did it.
I did nothing...
except get caught
with my britches down.
I must be
getting senile.
Mr. Saavik, you go right
on quoting regulations.
Meantime, let's find out
how badly
we've been hurt.
Is the word given, Admiral?
The word is given.
Warp speed.
Aye.
He stayed at his post
when the trainees ran.
Admiral, this is Spock.
Yes, Spock.
Engine room reports
auxiliary power restored.
We can proceed
at impulse power.
Best speed to Regula-1 .
Kirk out.
I'm sorry, Scotty.
Approaching Regula
at Space Lab Regula-1.
Space Station Regula-1,
this is
the starship Enterprise.
Please come in.
Space Station Regula-1,
do you read?
Space Station Regula-1,
this is Enterprise.
Please acknowledge.
This is Enterprise.
Do you read me?
Space Station Regula-1 ,
do you read?
Please come in.
There's no response, sir.
Sensors, Captain.
Scanners and sensors
are still inoperative.
There's no way to ascertain
what's inside the station.
No way of telling
if Reliant is still in the area.
Precisely.
What do you make
of that planetoid beyond?
Regula is Class D.
It consists of various
unremarkable ores,
essentially
a great rock in space.
And Reliant could be hiding
behind that rock.
A distinct possibility.
Engineering.
Aye, sir.
Mr. Scott, do you have enough power
for transporters?
Barely, sir.
I'm going down there.
Khan could be
down there.
He's been there.
Can you spare someone?
There may be people hurt.
Yeah. I can spare me.
Begging the Admiral's pardon.
General order 1 5.
"No flag officer shall beam
into a hazardous area
without armed escort."
There's no such regulation.
All right.
Join the party.
Mr. Spock,
the ship is yours.
Jim, be careful.
We will.
Indeterminate life signs.Phasers on stun.
Move out.
Aah.
Jim!
Well, rigor hasn't set in.
This couldn't have happened
too long ago, Jim.
Carol.
This is Enterprise
calling Space Lab Regula-1 .
Respond, please.
Admiral. Over here.
Dr. Marcus,
come in, please.
Oh, my God.
Please acknowledge signal.
Please-
Commander Uhura,
this is Lieutenant Saavik.
We're all right.
Please standby. Out.
Oh, sir,
it was Khan.
We found him
on Ceti Alpha V.
Easy. Easy.
He...
he put creatures
in our bodies
to control our minds.
It's all right.
You're safe now.
Made us say lies...
do things...
but we beat him.
He thought he controlled us,
but he did not.
The Captain was strong.
Captain...
where's Dr. Marcus?
Where are the
Genesis materials?
He couldn't find them.
Even the data banks
were empty.
Erased?
He tortured
those people.
But none of them
would tell him anything.
He went wild.
He slit their throats.
He wanted to tear the place apart,
but he was late.
He had to get back
to the Reliant
in time
to blow you to bits.
Where's Reliant's crew? Dead?
Marooned
on Ceti Alpha V.
He's completely
mad, Admiral.
He blames you for the death
of his wife.
I know what
he blames me for.
The escape pods
are all in place.
Where's the transporter room?
Did he make it
down here?
It was not
my impression.
He spent most
of his time
trying to wring the information
out of the people.
Anything?
The unit's been left on,
which means nobody remained
to turn it off.
Those people back there
bought escape time
