tender encounter,
Captain Kirk,
to end your usefulness.
I tell you, Spock, I was waiting for
the robot to finish the processing,
and the next thing I knew it
was gone and so was the ryetalyn.
Interesting. Obviously, Mr. Flint
is not yet ready for us to depart.
Well, I think
we'd better tell Jim.
The captain wanted us
to wait here.
Come with me. I--
I offer you happiness.
I've known security here.
Childhood must end.
You love me, not Flint.
Flint lied.
The ryetalyn isn't here.
Picking up tricorder readings,
Captain.
Apparently the ryetalyn
is behind this door.
Why is Flint
playing tricks on us?
Apparently we're supposed
to go in and get it...
if we can.
Well, let's not disappoint
the chess master.
Phasers on full.
Captain, I shall get
the ryetalyn.
- Why you?
- There may be dangers within.
- Let's find out.
- Let me go alone, Captain.
[McCoy]
Why?
Get to the point, Spock,
if there is one.
We'll all go.
The ryetalyn.
Captain 's log :
star date 5843.8.
We have accomplished our mission
and have the ryetalyn...
ready to combat the epidemic
aboard the Enterprise.
But we have also discovered
our benefactor's secret.
He has created
the perfect woman.
Her only flaw,
She’s not human.
Physically human
but not human.
These are earlier versions
of Rayna, Jim.
She's an android.
[Flint]
Created here by my hand.
Here, the centuries
of loneliness were to end.
Your collection of Leonardo da Vinci
masterpieces, Mr. Flint,
they appear to have been
recently painted...
on contemporary canvas
with contemporary materials.
And on your piano,
a waltz by Johannes Brahms,
an unknown work in manuscript,
written in modern ink...
yet absolutely authentic,
as are your paintings.
I am Brahms.
- And da Vinci?
- Yes.
How many other names
shall we call you?
Solomon, Alexander, Lazarus,
Methuselah, Merlin, Abramson.
- A hundred other names you do not know.
- You were born?
In that region of earth
later called Mesopotamia,
in the year 3834 B.C.,
as the millennia are reckoned.
I was Akharin,
a soldier, a bully
and a fool.
I fell in battle,
pierced to the heart...
and did not die.
Instant tissue regeneration coupled with
some perfect form of biological renewal.
You learned that you
were immortal and--
And to conceal it,
to live some portion of a life,
to pretend to age and then move on
before my nature was suspected.
Your wealth
and your intellect...
are the product of
centuries of acquisition.
You knew the greatest minds
in history:
Galileo, Socrates, Moses.
I have married
a hundred times, Captain.
Selected, loved, cherished.
Caressed a smoothness,
inhaled a brief fragrance.
Then age, death,
the taste of dust.
Do you understand?
[Spock]
You wanted a perfect, ultimate woman,
as brilliant,
as immortal as yourself.
Your mate for all time.
Designed by my heart.
I could not love her more.
- Spock, you knew?
- I had hoped I was wrong.
You cannot love an android, Captain.
I love her.
She is my handiwork, my property.
She is what I desire.
You brought me here
to learn this?
- Does she know?
- She will never know.
- Let's go.
- You will stay.
-Why?
-We have discovered what he is, Captain.
If you leave,
the curious would follow:
the foolish, the meddlers,
the officials, the seekers.
My privacy was my own.
Its invasion be on your head!
We can remain silent.
The disaster of intervention, Spock.
I've known it. I will not risk it.
Kirk to Enterprise.
Clear out of the area.
Inform Starfleet Command.
Enterprise! Scotty!
They cannot answer,
Captain.
My crew!
The test of power.
You had no chance.
It is time for you
to join your crew.
You'd wipe out 400 lives?
Why?
I have seen a hundred billion fall.
I know death better than any man.
I have tossed enemies
into his grasp.
And, I know mercy.
Your crew is not dead,
but suspended.
Worse than dead!
Restore them. Restore my ship!
In time: a thousand,
two thousand years.
