Kirk--captain and
friend for many years.
And Leonard McCoy--
Ha ha--also of long
acquaintance.
And Uhura...
whose name means "freedom."
She walks in beauty,
like the night.
That's not Spock!
Are you surprised to find
that I've read Byron, Doctor?
That's Spock!
Am I addressing
the ambassador?
In part.
That is, part of us
is known to you as Kollos.
Ah, Miranda.
There you are.
O brave new world, that
has such creatures in it.
'Tis new to thee.
My world is next for us.
Captain Kirk, I speak
for all of us you call Medusans.
I am sorry for the trouble
I've brought to your ship.
We don't hold you to blame,
and thank you now for your help.
And now
to the business at hand.
With your permission,
Captain...
Yes. Mr. Sulu,
release the helm to Mr. Spock.
Aye, sir.
Coordination
is completed.
Then go ahead, Mr. Spock.
Warp 1
in 6 seconds.
5...4...
3...2...
1...0.
Position report,
please, Mr. Chekov.
Our position...
our position is so close
to the point where
we entered the void,
the difference isn't
worth mentioning.
Bull's-eye, Mr. Spock.
Thank you,
Mr. Chekov.
Maneuver completed,
Captain.
Take over, Mr. Sulu.
Thank you, Ambassador.
Mr. Chekov,
plot a new course.
The new headings will be
plotted in a minute, sir.
How compact
your bodies are.
[Sniff]
And what a variety
of senses you have.
This thing you call...
language, though...
most remarkable.
You depend on it...
for so very much.
But is any one of you
really its master?
But most of all...
the aloneness.
You are so alone.
You live out your lives...
in this...
shell of flesh,
self-contained...
separate.
How lonely you are.
How terribly lonely.
Ambassador...
you must
dissolve the link.
So soon?
There must be no delay.
You're a wise captain.
Captain!
Spock!
Don't look!
Cover your eyes!
[Spock]
Aah!
Don't move!
But, Jim...
No one is to move.
Spock...
are you all right?
Spock...
it's all right.
You're safe
with us now.
He's hardly breathing.
Help me get him
to sick bay.
Unless Miranda can look
down into his mind
and turn it outward to us,
we will lose Spock.
Vulcan mind techniques--
they seem so untrustworthy
now that Spock's life
is at stake.
Her knowledge of them
may be the only thing
that could save Spock's sanity,
perhaps even his life.
But does she want to?
She's been
in there so long.
Nothing else to be done.
She tried to help Marvick.
Marvick is dead.
That's different.
Marvick loved her.
And Spock is her rival!
Is that any better?
Even Spock felt
the violence of her jealousy.
But they weren't
rivals in love.
Jim...
you shouldn't
go in there.
Whatever happens,
Bones...
don't interfere.
Who is it?
Dr. McCoy?
Who's there?
Captain Kirk.
I have no news
for you, Captain.
No change?
Only that
his life processes are ebbing.
What are you
doing about it?
Why, what I can,
of course.
Which doesn't
seem to be much.
No doubt you think I can
wake him with a kiss.
It's worth a try.
He's not a machine.
But he is Vulcan.
Only half! The other half is human.
Far more than you, apparently.
Face reality,
Captain.
His mind has gone down
almost too far
even for me to reach!
If you don't reach him
soon, he'll die.
But that's what
you want, isn't it?
- That's a lie!
- You want him to die!
What did you do
to him on the bridge?
Did you make him
forget the visor?
You're insane!
Yes, you know
your rival, don't you?
You couldn't keep him from
making a mind-link with Kollos,
something you couldn't
do yourself!
With my words,
I'll make you hear
such ugliness as Spock saw
when he looked at Kollos
with his naked eyes!
The ugliness
is within you!
That's a lie!
Liar!
Your passion to see
Kollos is madness!
You can never see!
Never!
But Spock saw Kollos,
and for that
he must die.
Sadistic, filthy liar!
The stench of jealousy
permeates you!
Why don't you
strangle him?
Don't say anymore, please!
Kollos knows what's
in your
