prisoner.
Wait! Give me a chance to talk...
Kill one of them.
I don't care which.
Saavik..?
David..?
Admiral... David is dead.
You Klingon bastard,
you've killed my son.
Klingon bastard,
you've killed my son!
You Klingon bastard!
There are two more prisoners,
Admiral.
Do you want them killed, too?
Surrender your vessel.
All right. All right, damn you.
All right.
Give me a minute to inform my crew.
I give two minutes to you
and your gallant crew.
Take every last man, form
a boarding party, armed heavily!
- They outnumber us, my Lord.
- We are Klingons!
Once you control the ship
we will transfer our flag there
and take Genesis
from their memory banks.
Mr Sulu, what is the crew complement
of a Bird of Prey?.
About a dozen officers and men.
With some of them on the planet.
I swear to you,
we're not finished yet.
Bones, you and Sulu to the
Transporter Room, the rest with me.
We have a job to do.
Commander Klingon vessel. Prepare
to board this ship on my next signal.
No tricks, Kirk! You have one minute.
No tricks. I'm looking forward
to meeting you.
To the Transport Room. Success!

Kirk, your time runs out.
- All set?
- Aye, sir.
Commander Klingon vessel, we are
energising transporter beam, now.
Transporter, stand by!
My Lord, the ship appears
to be deserted.
How can that be? They're hiding.
Yes, sir, but the bridge seems
to be run by computer.
- It's the only thing speaking.
- Speaking? Let me hear.
Nine, eight, seven, six...
- ..five...
- Get out! Get out of there!
- Get out!
- ..one...
My God, Bones.
What have I done?
What you had to do.
What you always do.
Turn death into
a fighting chance to live.
Planet core readings, unstable.
Changing rapidly.
What about surface life signs?
There.
No! Don't touch him!
Bones.
- What happened?
- He gave his life to save us.
Rapid ageing. All genetic functions
highly accelerated.
- What about his mind?
- His mind's a void.
It seems, Admiral,
that I've got all his marbles.
- Is there anything we can do?
- Only one thing.
Get him off this planet. His ageing
is part of what's going on around us.
Klingon Commander,
this is Admiral James T. Kirk.
I'm alive and well
on the planet's surface.
I know this will come
as a pleasant surprise to you.
Our ship was a victim
of an unfortunate accident.
Sorry about your crew, but as we say
on Earth, "C'est la vie".
I have what you want.
I have the secret of Genesis.
You're gonna have to
bring us up there to get it.
Do you hear me?
I'm waiting for you!
What is your answer?.
Drop all weapons!
Over there, all but Kirk.
Maltz... Prisoners
at beam coordinates.
- You should take the Vulcan too.
- No!
- But why?.
- Because you wish it.
Maltz... Activate beam!
Genesis. I want it!
Beam the Vulcan up, and we'll talk.
Give me what I want
and I'll consider it.
Fool! Look around you!
The planet's destroying itself!
Yes, exhilarating, isn't it?
If we don't help each other,
we'll die here!
Perfect!
Then that's the way it shall be.
Give me Genesis!
- Give me your hand!
- Kirk!
I...have had...
..enough of you!
Maltz!
Don't! How many more?
Just him, sir.
Bones, help Spock.
We've got to break out of orbit.
You, help us or die.
I do not deserve to live.
Fine, I'll kill you later.
Let's get out of here.
- Where's the anti-matter inducer?.
- This?
No! This!
That or nothing.
If I read this right, sir,
we have full power.
Go, Sulu.
Goodbye, David.
We are clear and
