sound against them,
beyond the ultrasonic.
It will stun them and allow us
time to leave.
We'll go in
one of their shuttlecraft.
Sound pitch that high
doesn't stun, it destroys.
I remember when we read
in the text that it--
I've gone
beyond those texts, Irina.
It's correct for you to be concerned,
but be assured also.
We are in orbit over Eden,
Brother Sevrin.
It does destroy.
We cannot allow them
to come after us.
It will not reach us in here.
I can control it all.
I have adjusted it so that
it will suspend its effects...
and allow us time
to escape.
Then, after we've gone,
it will automatically reactivate.
Rejoice, brethren !
Soon we shall
step together into Eden.
[Phase Buzzing]
[High-Pitched Tone]
Spock !
It's all right, Spock.
It stopped.
No, Captain, it hasn't stopped.
It has gone beyond--
- [Tone Continues]
- Captain, they're using--
'Steppin' into Eden
Yea, brother'
" Steppin' into Eden
Yea, brother "
'No more trouble in my body
or my mind'
' Gonna live like a king
on whatever find'
'Eat all the fruit
and throw away the rind'
' Yea, brother"
Now we may leave.
- [High-Pitched Tone Continues]
- Captain, go. I--
You must destroy the--
- What is it ?
- Ultrasonics.
The panel--
[Tone Fades]
Kirk to Engineering.
Bridge.
Hangar Deck !
Kirk to Transporter Room.
Kirk to Bridge !
Do you read me ? Come in.
Sulu here, Captain. What happened
to us ? I heard a whistle, and then--
Never mind. Do we have
control of the ship ?
[Chekov]
No, sir. Control is in auxiliary.
- Can we break out of orbit?
- I think so, sir.
- [Man]Hangar Deck to Captain.
- Kirk here.
Sir, one of the shuttlecrafts has
been taken. We were all knocked out.
Stand by.
Do you read any Romulans ?
Negative, Captain. However,
I am picking up the shuttlecraft.
- Where ?
- It has landed.
Except for those aboard the craft,
I read...
no life at all,
either humanoid nor animal.
Auxiliary Control to Dr. McCoy.
Bones, are you all right ?
[McCoy]
Yes, Jim.
Stand by, Transporter Room.
Full medical gear.
[Chekov] Bridge to Captain Kirk.
Do you wish to open communication, sir ?
No.
No, they tried to destroy us.
Let them think they succeeded.
I want the coordinates zeroed in so that
when we beam down, we won't be visible.
Scotty, you have the con.
If any Romulans appear,
try to make them understand.
I do not want
to provoke combat.
Mr. Spock. Mr. Chekov,
Join us in the transporter room.
The legends were true,
Captain.
Fantastically
beautiful planet.
Eden.
Is this what they believed
they'd find ?
Then I can understand.
[ Rustling ]
Spread out.
Approach with caution.
- Dr. Sevrin.
- [ Screaming ]
- What is it ?
- The flower, sir.
I touched it.
It's like fire.
It's burned !
All this plant life
is full of acid.
Even the grass, Jim.
- Will our clothing protect us ?
- It should for a while.
[Spock]
Captain.
Bones ?
Poison.
Fruit is deadly.
His name was Adam.
[Kirk]
There's the shuttlecraft.
- [ Gasping, Moaning ]
- Here, we'll help you.
Dr. Sevrin. Bones !
He should be beamed aboard, Jim. He
needs more than I can do for him here.
- Spock to Enterprise.
- [Scott] Enterprise here.
Stand by to beam aboard
injured parties.
- Medical team to the transporter room.
- Dr. Sevrin.
No. No,
we're not leaving.
We can help you
aboard the ship.
We're not leaving Eden,
none of us.
Be sensible, Doctor.
We're not leaving !
[McCoy]
Come back here, you fool!
- Sevrin, don't! You'll kill yourself!
- Don't bite into that !
[Kirk]
Stop !
It was
so beautiful !
I have Star base now,
Captain.
Alert them that we have the four
and we're ready to beam them down.
- And mark the incident closed.
- Aye, sir.
Bridge to Transporter.
Scotty, are they there ?
Three of them, sir.
Expecting a fourth any minute.
Stand by.
Mr. Chekov,
do you wish to attend ?
Captain, I wish first to apologize
for my conduct during this time.
I did not maintain
