[Computer Beeps] Voice

verified and correct.
Destruct sequence

Awaiting final code
for 30-second countdown.
Mr. Spock, has the ship returned to
the course set for it by my orders?
Negative, Captain. We are still
headed directly for Cheron.
[Computer]
Destruct sequence engaged.
Awaiting final code
for 30-second countdown.
Computer...
this is Captain James Kirk

Begin 30-second countdown.
Code zero, zero, zero

[Computer Processing]
[Computer Beeping]
Thirty seconds...
29, 28, 27--
Twenty-five seconds--
Let's see you prevent the computer
from fulfilling my commands.
[Computer Continues Beeping]
Twenty seconds--
From five to zero,
no command in the universe
can prevent the computer from
fulfilling its destruct orders.
[Computer]
Fifteen seconds--
You can use your will
to drag this ship to Cheron.
But I command the computer.
Mine is the final command.
[Computer]
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six--
- I agree!
- Computer.
This is Captain James Kirk
of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Code one, two, three continuity.

Repeat...
code one, two, three continuity.
Abort destruct order.
[Computer Beeping]
Destruct order aborted.
Destruct order aborted.
Mr. Spock, is this ship
headed for Ariannus?
Negative, Captain. The Enterprise
is now moving in a circular course.
And at warp 10,
we're going now here mighty fast.
I warned you of his treachery.
Kill him!
We're waiting for you to fulfil
your commitment, Commissioner.
Captain, I am happy
to have you complete
your mission of mercy
to the planet Ariannus.
It was madness to interfere
with such a worthwhile endeavour.
But, if you will,
upon completion, please,
take me and my traitorous
captive to Cheron.
I make no deals
for control of this ship, sir.
[Humming]
The ship's course
is now in your control.
Ship's course?
Enterprise is now on course
to Ariannus, Captain.
Speed, Scotty?
Warp 6 and smoothly
operating, sir.
Good.
- Lt. Uhura, cancel red alert.
- Aye, sir.
Let me reaffirm
my position, gentlemen.
I could put you in the brig for what
you have done, but I won't do it
because you are new
to this part of the galaxy,
which is governed
by the United Federation of Planets.
We live in peace with
full exercise of individual rights.
The need to resort to violence
and force has long since passed,
and it will not be tolerated
aboard this ship.
You are free
to move about the ship.
I hope that you'll
take the opportunity
to know more
about the Federation
through its best
representatives, my crew.
But let me make it clear.
I will stand for no interference
with the function of this ship.
All hands, return
to normal routine.
Captain out.
You speak very well, Captain.
-Your words promise justice for all.
- We try, sir.
Yes, well, I have learned
to wait for actions.
After Ariannus,
what is justice?
I shall wait
to see it dispensed.
[Door Opening, Closing]
Fascinating. Two irrevocably
hostile humanoids.
Disgusting
is what I call them.
That description is not
scientifically accurate.
Mr. Spock, the word disgusting
describes exactly
what I feel about those two.
That's enough for today.
Those two are beginning
to affect you.
And I know from my actions
you must all think me
a volcanic hothead,
erupting lava from my nostrils
at danger signals
that are only figments
of my imagination.
But believe me, my friends,
there can be no moment
when I can have my guard down
where such as Bele is present.
So what happens?
I act the madman
out of the anger and frustration
he forces upon me,
and there by prove his point
that lam a madman.
[Man]No one knows how he'll
react under pressure, Lokai.
[Chekov]
After all, we
