free to navigate.
Best speed to Vulcan.
Mr Chekov, take the prisoner below.
- Wait! You said you would kill me.
- I lied.
Spock...
For God's sake, talkto me!
You stuckthis damn thing
in my head, remember?.
Remember?.
Now, tell me what to do with it.
Help me.
I'm gonna tell you
something that I...
..never thought I'd hear myself say.
But it seems I've missed you.
I don't know if I could stand
to lose you again.
Ambassador, they are on approach.
They're requesting
permission to land.
Permission granted. Tell them...
Tell Kirk we'll be ready.
Mr Sulu, you're on manual.
It's been a while, sir. Here we go.
Retrothrusters.
Sarek is waiting above, sir.
Sarek...
Child of Skon, child of Solkar...
The body of your son breathes still.
What is your wish?
I ask for Fal-Tor-Pan. The refusion.
What you seek has not been done
since ages past,
and then only in legend.
Your request is not logical.
Forgive me, T'Lar.
My logic is uncertain
where my son is concerned.
Who is the keeper of the Katra?
I am.
McCoy, Leonard H., son of David.
McCoy, Son of David...
Since thou art human,
we cannot expect thee
to understand fully
what Sarek has requested.
Spock's body lives.
With your approval,
we shall use all our powers
to return to his body
that which you possess.
But McCoy, you must now be warned.
The danger to thyself
is as grave as the danger to Spock.
You must make the choice.
I choose the danger.
Hell of a time to ask.
I'm all right, Jim.
What about Spock?.
Only time will answer.
Kirk... I thank you.
What you have done is...
What I have done...
..I had to do.
But at what cost?
Your ship. Your son.
If I hadn't tried...
the cost would have been my soul.
My father says
that you have been my friend.
You came back for me.
You would have done
the same for me.
Why would you do this?
Because the needs of the one...
..outweigh the needs of the many.
I have been...
..and ever shall be your friend.
Yes.
Yes, Spock!
The ship. Out of danger?.
You saved the ship.
You saved us all.
Don't you remember?.
Jim.
Your name is Jim.
Yes.Don't grieve, Admiral.
lt is logical.
The needs of the many outweigh...
..the needs of the few.
Or the one.
l have been and always
shall be your friend.
Live long and prosper.
We are assembled here today to pay
final respects to our honoured dead.
This death takes place
in the shadow ofnew life,
the sunrise of a new world.
A world that our beloved comrade
gave his life to protect.
He did not feel this sacrifice
a vain or empty one.
Of my friend, l can only say this:
of all the souls l have encountered
in my travels,
his was the most...
..human.
Honours. Hup!
Space, the final frontier.
These are the continuing voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
Her ongoing mission
to explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new lifeforms
and new civilisations.
To boldly go...
..where no man has gone before.
USS Enterprise,
Captain's Personal Log.
With most of our battle damage
repaired, we're almost home.
Yet l feel uneasy.
And l wonder why.
Perhaps it is the emptiness
of this vessel.
Most of our trainee crew
has been reassigned.
Lieutenant Saavik
and my son David
are exploring the Genesis planet,
which he helped create.
And Enterprise feels like a house
with all the children gone.
No, more empty even than that.
The death of Spock
is like an open wound.
lt seems that l've left the noblest
part ofmyselfback there...
..on that newborn planet.
- Status, Mr Sulu.
- On course, Admiral.
Estimating space dock in 2.1 hours.
Very well. Mr Chekov,
l'll need a pre-approach scan.
- Take the science station, please.
- Yes, sir.
Uhura... Any response from Starfleet
on our Project Genesis enquiries?
- No, sir, there is no response.
- That's very odd.
- Scotty, progress report.
- lt's almost done, sir.
You'll be fully automated
by the time we dock.
Excellent timing. You fixed the barn
door after the horse has come
