for Genesis
with their lives.
This is not logical.
These coordinates
are deep inside Regula,
a planetoid we know
to be lifeless.
If Stage Two
is completed,
it was going
to be underground.
It was going to be
underground, she said.
Stage Two of what?
Kirk to Enterprise.
Spock here.
Captain Spock,
damage report.
Admiral,
if we go by the book,
like Lieutenant Saavik,
hours could seem
like days.
I read you, Captain.
Let's have it.
The situation
is grave, Admiral.
We won't have main power
for six days.
Auxiliary power
has temporarily failed.
Restoration maybe possible
in two days.
By the book, Admiral.
Meaning you can't
even beam us back?
Not at present.
Captain Spock...
if you don't hear from us
within one hour,
your orders are to restore
what power you can,
take the Enterprise to the nearest
star base,
and alert
Starfleet command.
Sir, we won't
leave you behind.
Uhura, if you don't
hear from us,
there won't be anybody behind.
Kirk out.
Well, gentlemen,
you can stay here, or...
If it's all the same,
Admiral,
we'd like
to share the risk.
Right. Let's go.
Saavik?
Go? Where are we going?
Where they went.
Suppose they went nowhere?
Then this will be
your big chance
to get away
from it all.
Admiral.
Genesis, I presume.
Phasers down!
You!
Where's Dr. Marcus?
I'm Dr. Marcus.
Jim!
Is that David?
Mother, he killed everybody
we left behind.
Oh, of course he didn't.
David, you're just
making this harder.
I'm afraid
it's even harder
than you think, Doctor.
Please...
don't move.
Chekov?
I'm...
sorry, Admiral.
Your Excellency,
have you been listening?
I have indeed, Captain.
You have done well.
I knew it.
You son of a bitch!
Don't move, anybody!
Captain?
We are waiting.
What's the delay?
All is well, sir.
You have the coordinates
to beam up Genesis.
First things first, Captain.
Kill Admiral Kirk.
Sir, it is difficult. I...
I try to obey, but...
Kill him.
I...
Aah!
Kill him, Terrell, now!
Aah!
Aah!
God sakes!
What is it?
Khan, you bloodsucker!
You'll have to do
your own dirty work now.
Do you hear me?
Do you?
Kirk.
Kirk, you're still alive,
my old friend.
Still, "old friend."
You've managed to kill just about
everyone else.
But like
a poor marksman,
you keep missing
the target!
Perhaps I no longer
need to try, Admiral.
Oh, no!
They can't take it.
Khan?
Khan, you've got Genesis,
but you don't
have me.
If you're going
to kill me, Khan,
you're going to have to
come down here!
I've done far worse
than kill you.
I've hurt you,
and I wish to go on
hurting you.
I shall leave you
as you left me-
as you left her-
marooned for all eternity
in the center
of a dead planet.
Buried alive.
Buried alive.
Khan!
Khan!
This is Lieutenant Saavik
calling Enterprise.
Can you read us?
This is Lieutenant Saavik.
Calling Enterprise.
Can you read us?
He's coming around.
Can you read us?
It's no use, Admiral.
They're still jamming
all channels.
If the Enterprise followed orders,
she's long since gone.
If she couldn't obey,
she's finished.
So are we,
it looks like.
I don't understand.
Who's responsible for all this?
Who is Khan?
Well, it's a long story.
We appear to have
plenty of time.
Is there
anything to eat?
I don't know about anybody else,
but I'm starved.
How can you think of food
at a time like this?
First order
of business-survival.
There is food
in the Genesis cave,
enough to last
a lifetime...
if necessary.
We thought
this was Genesis.
This?
It took the Starfleet
corps of engineers
1 0 months in space suits
to tunnel out all this.
What we did in there,
we did in a day.
David, why don't you show
Dr. McCoy
and the lieutenant
our idea of food?
We can't just sit here.
Oh, yes, we can.
This is just to give us
something to do, isn't it?
Come on.
Admiral?
As your teacher Mr. Spock
is fond to say,
I like to think that there always
are possibilities.
I did what
