all the good it will do you.
They will be very effective.
They've been severely tested.
The Troglytes will no longer suffer from
retardation and emotional difficulties.
They will all be like her:
ungrateful, vindictive!
Yes, our demands have just begun.
Here is the zenite, Captain,
-just as I promised.
- Thank you, Vanna.
Stratos is so pleasant...
and so beautiful.
I think I'm afraid
to leave it.
There is great beauty in the knowledge
that-- that lies below,
and only one way to
really experience it.
I shall go to the mines.
I no longer wish
to be limited to the clouds.
Is... your planet like this one?
No.
No, Vulcan is quite different.
Someday I should
like to visit it.
Perhaps some form of mediation
can be helpful in your difficulties.
The Federation Bureau of
Industrialization may be of aid to you.
I will tolerate
absolutely no interference!
You will not set foot here
as long as I rule!
Believe me, sir, I have neither the time
nor the desire to return here.
Only answering your charges
against me will force me back.
And I shall press them.
You are guilty of abduction, Captain!
You're guilty of attacking a starship
commander and plotting against his life.
Captain, perhaps both incidents
are best forgotten.
[ Chuckles ]
Yes, Vanna.
They never happened.
Mr. Advisor?
Let's get that zenite delivered.
We only have three hours left.
Two hours, fifty-nine minutes
to be exact, Captain.
- [ Communicator Beeps On ]
- Kirk to Enterprise.
Kirk to Enterprise.
Mr. Scott... beam us up.
[Beaming]It is definitely the stolen
space cruiser, Captain, the Aurora.
I read six aboard.
Hailing frequencies.
Aurora, this is the U.S.S. Enterprise,
Capt. James T. Kirk commanding.
[Kirk]
Acknowledge.
Aurora, this is
the Enterprise.
- [Kirk] Do you read me ?
- They are receiving us, Captain.
- I read no evidence of malfunction.
- Repeat.
Federation orders
to detain you for--
[Sulu]
They're veering off, sir.
- Change course. Pursue and overtake.
- [Chekov]Aye, aye, sir.
Stand by tractor beams.
Standing by, sir.
If it continues on course,
it will enter Romulan space.
- Engage.
- [Sulu] Tractor beam engaged.
Bring them in.
They have not cut power, sir.
They're struggling to escape.
Their engines are seriously
overheating, Captain.
Aurora, cut power.
You are overtaxing your ship.
Power approaching critical.
They cannot continue.
Emergency power
to tractor beams.
Bridge to Transporter Room.
Scotty, are you ready to transport ?
Aye, Captain.
Power beyond critical.
Explosion is imminent.
[ Engines Roaring ]
- Are we within transportation range ?
- Not yet, sir.
[Increased Roaring]
Aurora personnel, stand by
to be transported aboard !
Energize.
Are they aboard ?
Scotty, are they aboard ?
Aye, Captain.
They are,
and a nice lot too.
[Kirk]
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.
[Kirk]
Captain's log : star date 5832.3.
The son of the Catullan
ambassador is one of six...
we have beamed aboard from
the stolen cruiser Aurora.
We have been ordered to handle
him with extreme delicacy,
because the treaty negotiations
now in progress...
between the Federation and Catualla...
are in a crucial phase.
Take them
to the briefing room.
[Woman With Russian Accent]
We are not in the mood, Herbert!
Irina ?
[ All Protesting ]
- [Man] Tell Herbert it's no go.
- [All Chanting] No go. No go.
- What's going on ?
- [Scott] They refuse, sir.
- Why ?
- I don't know.
They're sitting on the floor,
the lot of them.
- [Chanting Continues]
- Shall I send for security ?
No, I'll be right down.
Mr. Spock.
[Protesting]No go, no go, no go.
No go, no go, no go.
[ Protesting Continues ]
- Which one of you is Tongo Rad ?
- [ Silence ]
You can thank your father's influence
