located
the controls?
No, but I've
seen the book
that contains all the knowledge
of the creators.
And if you--
If you can get to it...
Spock can...
dig out the information.
Where is it?
Aah!
Bones,
are you all right?
Bones, answer me!
Bones, what is it?
Bones, what is it?
McCoy, what's happening?
What's happening, McCoy?
You are killers
of your friend.
I'll have you
put to death.
- Help him.
- Until you are dead,
he will think of you
and disobey!
Spock, take care
of McCoy.
Oh...
He is not
part of our people.
You've released him
from his vow of obedience.
We have freed him
from the cruelty
of your oracle.
- [Sobs]
- Oh...
- [Gasps]
- Bones.
Bones.
You said something
about a book.
Where is it?
They must not know.
The... oracle room.
You will never
see the book.
It is sacrilege!
Guards!
Guards! Guards!
Now
listen to me.
You must listen
to what I have to say.
Give me one moment
to speak to you.
One moment.
Natira,
if you don't believe
what I'm
about to tell you,
you can call the guards.
We'll accept any
punishment you decree.
What do you
wish to say?
You must believe
that what I'm about
to tell you is the truth.
Your truth,
of your world.
Yes, my world
and your world of Yonada.
You don't obey the law
of the creators.
How can you
understand my world?
I understand.
I understand, Natira.
10,000 years ago,
a sun was dying
and with it, its world.
It's the world
you see on the plaque
in the room of the oracle.
That's a world
of which Yonada is part.
No.
It is the world
of your ancestors,
your... creators.
It no longer exists.
You are mad.
No, I'm not.
Now listen to me!
Hear me out.
When your ancestors
discovered
that their world
was dying...
they built a great ship
and chose
their best people.
They wished
for their race to survive.
They sent the ship
out into space.
You wish me
to believe that...
Yonada is a ship?
Yes.
But we have a sun.
It did not die.
At night
I see the stars.
No.
You are living inside...
a hollow ball.
Your ancestors created it
to take you on a journey
to a promised new planet.
Why should the...
Why should
the truth wait
for you
to come to Yonada?
Because a flaw developed
in the controls.
And unless we correct it,
Yonada will kill
millions of people
and destroy a world
it doesn't even know.
Why should the truth
be kept from us?
Why should the creators
keep us in darkness?
No. No.
You do not
speak the truth.
I believe
only the oracle.
I believe!
Let us remove
the instrument of obedience,
the way
we did for McCoy.
Natira.
Do you think
she understood me?
She evidently
understood something.
There are no guards.
You have listened to the words
of the non-believers.
Yes. I have listened.
That was the first
transgression.
You felt the pain
of warning?
Yes, I did.
Why did you
listen further?
They said
they spoke the truth.
Their truth.
Is truth
not truth for all?
The truth of Yonada
is your truth.
There can be
no other for you.
Repent
your disobedience.
I must know
the truth of the world!
Your friends have
told me of your world.
They spoke the truth.
I-l believe you.
I believe.
The creators
kept us in darkness.
There's
nothing I can do.
I believe with you,
husband.
Is she all right?
She will be.
I'll stay here with her.
The book is
in the monolith.
It is sacrilege
to the temple.
We do this
for the survival
of the people of Yonada.
You are not believers.
You are forbidden
to gaze at the book.
We mean no desecration
to the faith of Yonada.
We must consult the book.
It is blasphemy.
You are forbidden.
The punishment
is death.

Yes, it is.
Hurry, Spock.
It refers to the altar.
