say that you belong
to another man.
What happened ...
What happened ...
was an accident.
It was no accident.
I chose you,
and you chose me.
I have a plan.
With this ship, you could
completely obliterate Troyius.
Then there will be
no need for the marriage.
And in gratitude,
my people will give you
the complete rule of this system.
What kind of a mind
could think of such a thing?
He's a Troyian.
[Intercom Buzzes]

[Kirk]
Captain?
You cannot resist
my love, my love.
Captain?
[Door Opens]
May we see you
a moment?
Jim.
Jim, may we please
have a word with you?
Captain,
are you all right?
Did she cry, Jim?
What?
Did she cry?
Did her tears touch you
at any time?
Oh, we're in trouble.
Jim,
Petri told Christine
the Elasian women have a biochemical
substance in their tears
that acts like
a super love potion.
According to him,
it doesn't wear off.
It is true then,
Captain?
It's true.
Bones, you've got to
find me an antidote.
I'll try.
I'll need tests --
[Intercom Whistles]
Bridge to Captain.
Captain here.
Captain, the Klingon ship
has changed course.
It is heading toward us
at warp speed.
On my way.
Battle stations.
[Alarm Sounds]
[Door Opens]
Phasers stand by.
Phasers ready, sir.
Their speed is better
than warp 6, Captain.
Mr. Chekov,
lay in a course
to take us out
of this star system.
If they want to fight,
Let's get
some maneuvering room.
Course computed, sir.
Laid in, Captain.
All right.
Ahead warp factor 2.
[Scotty] Captain, the matter-
anti-matter --
Belay that order.
What, Scotty?
The anti-matter pods
are rigged to blow up
the moment we go
into warp drive.
Scotty, that bomb --
can you dismantle it?
Not without being blown
across the galaxy.
Give us every ounce
of power you can
from the impulse drive.
Find a solution
to the bomb. Kirk out.
Mr. Sulu, stand by to make your
maneuvers smartly.
She'll be sluggish
on response.
Aye, sir.
100,000 kilometres.
90.
80.
Phaser crews, stand by
to fire on command.
60.
Ready.
50.
Hold your fire.
She's passed us
without firing a shot.
I don't think they meant
to attack us.
We were very fortunate
this time.
Their tactics
are quite clear now, Mr. Spock.
They were trying to make us
cut in warp drive.
We'd have
blown ourselves up
and solved their problem
without risking war
with the Federation.
Very neat.
Very. But why
do the Klingons
consider the possession
of this system so vital?
That's a very good
question, Mr. Spock.
I have another question,
Captain.
Is not the bridge the wrong place
for the Dohlman
at a time like this?
I'll be the judge ...
Yes, you're ...
you're quite right.
Thank you, Mr. Spock.
I want you to go
to Sick Bay.
It's the best protected part
of the ship.
I want to be by your side.
Your presence here is interfering
with my efficiency --
my ability
to protect you.
Mr. Spock,
you have the con.
Deck five.
I love you.
I have chosen you,
and still
I don't understand
why you didn't fight
the Klingon.
If I can accomplish
my mission
by turning tail
and running,
I'll gladly do that.
And that mission
is to take me to Troyius.
Yes.
Would you have me wearing
my wedding dress for another man
and never see you again?
Yes, Elaan.
Are you happy
at the prospect?
No.
[Intercom Whistles]
Scott to Captain.
Kirk here.
I've got bad news, Captain.
The entire dilithium crystal
converter assembly is fused.
No chance of repair.
It's completely unusable.
No chance of restoring
warp drive?
Not without
dilithium crystals.
We can't even generate
enough power
to fire our weapons.
Kirk out.
Elaan, I have to go back
to the bridge.
Please, you must go
to Sick Bay.
Yes, my love.
Test number 24. Colladium trioxide
in algobarium solution.
Results also negative.
Doctor, there is
no antidote
to the poison
of Elasian tears.
The men of Elas
have tried desperately
for centuries
to dispel its power.
You're
