you wanted.
I stayed away.
Why didn't you tell him?
How can you
ask me that?
Were we together?
Were we going to be?
You had your world,
and I had mine.
And I wanted him in mine,
not chasing through the universe
with his father.
Actually...
he's a lot like you...
in many ways.
Please tell me
what you're feeling.
There's a man out there
I haven't seen in 1 5 years
who's trying to kill me.
You show me a son
that would be happy to help.
My son.
My life that
could have been...
and wasn't.
What am I feeling?
Old.
Worn-out.
Let me show you something
that will
make you feel young
as when the world
was new.
Impulse power restored.
Excellent.
More than a match
for poor Enterprise.
You did all this
in a day?
The matrix formed
in a day.
The life forms
grew later
at a substantially
accelerated rate.
Jim! This is incredible!
Have you ever
seen the like?
Can I cook
or can't l?
Where is she?
Sir, may I ask you
a question?
What's on your mind?
The Kobayashi Maru, sir.
You're asking if we're playing out
that scenario?
On the test, sir.
Will you tell me
what you did?
I would really like
to know.
Lieutenant, you're looking
at the only Starfleet cadet
who ever beat
the no-win scenario.
How?
I reprogrammed
the simulation
so it was possible
to rescue the ship.
What?
He cheated.
Changed the conditions
of the test.
Got a commendation
for original thinking.
I don't like to lose.
Then you never faced
that situation...
faced death.
I don't believe
in the no-win scenario.
Kirk to Spock.
It's two hours.
Are you ready?
Right on schedule.
Just give us your coordinates,
and we'll
beam you aboard.
All right.
I don't like to lose.
We were immobilized.
Captain Spock said
it would be two days.
You go by the book.
Spock, you know Dr. Marcus.
Of course.
Hello, Mr. Spock.
I'm taking them
to sickbay.
By the book?
By the book.
Regulation 46a-
"If transmissions are being
monitored during battle...
no uncoded messages
on an open channel."
You lied.
I exaggerated.
Hours instead of days.
Now we have minutes
instead of hours.
They're inoperative
below C-Deck.
What is working
around here?
Not much, Admiral.
We have partial main power.
That's it?
Best we can do
in two hours.
Admiral on the bridge.
Battle stations.
Tactical.
Uh-oh.
She can still outrun us
and outgun us,
But there is the Mutara Nebula
at 153 mark 4.
Scotty, can we make it inside?
The energizer's bypassed
like a Christmas tree,
so don't give me
too many bumps.
No promises.
On your way.
Trouble with
the nebula, sir,
is all that static
discharging gas
clouds our
tactical display.
Visual won't function,
and shields will be useless.
Sauce for the goose,
Mr. Saavik.
The odds will be even.
Alley clear, sir.
Repairing second.
Ready to fire away 1 .
There she is!
There she is.
Ahh.
Not so wounded
as we were led to believe.
So much the better.
Estimating nebula penetration
in 2.2 minutes.
Reliant is closing.
If they go in there,
we'll lose them.
Explain it to them.
That was close.
They just don't want us
going in there.
One minute
to nebula perimeter.
Why are we slowing?
We daren't follow them
into the nebula, sir.
Our shields
would be useless.
They are reducing speed.
Uhura, patch me in.
Aye, sir.
You're on, Admiral.
This is Admiral Kirk.
We tried it once
your way, Khan.
Are you game
for a rematch?
Khan.
I'm laughing at
the superior intellect.
Full impulse power.
No, sir!
You have Genesis.
You can have whatever you-
Full power!
Damn you!
I'll say this for him-
he's consistent.
We are now entering
the Mutara Nebula.
Emergency lights.
Oh!
Tactical.
Inoperative.
Raise the shields.
As I feared, sir-
not functional.
I'm reducing speed.
Target, sir.
Phaser lock
inoperative, sir.
Best guess, Mr. Sulu.
Fire when ready.
Oh!
Aft torpedoes, fire!
Hold your course.
Phasers starboard!
Aah!
Fire!
Damage, Mr. Scott.
