that,
gentlemen?
To whatever you want
the most, Miranda.
Some more Antarean brandy?
What is it?
There's somebody nearby
thinking of murder.
In this room?
It's gone now.
Who is it?
Can you tell?
It isn't there anymore.
Captain, would you mind
if I said good night?
Of course.
Perhaps I'll see--
I'll escort you
to your quarters.
Thank you, gentlemen.
You make a choice
impossible.
Please stay
and enjoy yourselves.
It was
a delightful dinner.
Sleep well...Miranda.
Are you sure
you're well enough
to find your way alone?
Of course, Dr. McCoy.
Please don't worry
about me.
Now, where I come from,
that's what we call a lady.
Yes, she is
something special.
Very special.
I suggest you treat her
accordingly.
I've known Dr.Jones
long enough
to be aware of
her remarkable gifts.
Well, it's been
a long day for me.
Larry, would you like
to stop off at engineering with me?
A bottle of scotch
says you can't handle
the controls you designed.
Some other time.
Good night, gentlemen.
Good night, Scotty.
You're dressed up for the occasion,
Spock. Very impressive.
I genuinely intended
to honour her, Captain.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Good evening.
Sleep well.
Bones, what's troubling you
with the girl?
Well, she's not
Just another girl, Captain.
Don't make
that mistake.
I didn't think that
for a moment. What else?
I don't know what
it is, exactly.
She seems
very vulnerable.
We're all...vulnerable...
in one way or another.
Of course...
but there's something
so very disturbing
about her.
Meaning
she's quite a woman.
I agree.
Good night, Jim.
Good night, Bones.
[Buzzer]
Miranda.
Who is it?
Larry.
I've got to talk
to you.
It's late.
Please, Miranda,
it's important.
All right.
Come in, then.
I thought the dinner
was never going to end.
I rather enjoyed it.
Yes, I know you did.
I didn't.
You were so far away.
I'll be further away
than that soon.
Please don't
talk of that.
There's so little time.
Please, Miranda,
don't go with Kollos.
Now, we've been over this
time and time again.
Don't I know.
I've asked you
in restaurants,
in the laboratory,
on one knee,
on both knees...
Miranda, how
can you do this?
Larry, please,
try to understand.
I understand...
that you're a woman
and that I'm a man,
one of your own kind,
and that Kollos
will never be able to give you
anything like this.
Why did I ever meet you?
I've been honest
with you.
I simply cannot love you
the way you want me to.
Miranda--
And I'm going away
with Kollos.
That's final.
I think you'd
better leave now.
So it's you!
I didn't know
that it was you before.
Who is it you want
to kill, Larry?
Is it me?
You mustn't keep this
to yourself.
I want to help you.
So now you want
to help me.
Now I know what
a mere human male
has to do to get
a reaction out of you--
Make you think
he's a patient.
The great psychologist.
Why don't you try being
a woman for a change?
Aah! Uhh! Uhh!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah! Ohh!
Miranda!
Where's Mr. Scott?
Miranda!
[Knock On Door]
Miranda!
Ah, there, Marvick.
So you couldn't resist
the wee wager.
Has the ambassador
been hurt?
No harm has come
to the ambassador, Captain.
Who could have done
such a thing?
Larry Marvick.
Larry...Marvick?
Why?
Do you know whether
he saw the Medusan?
Yes, he did.
Then insanity will surely
be the result, Captain.
Dangerous insanity.
The controls
are all yours--
And the bottle
of scotch,
if you can
handle 'em.
[Communicator Whistles]
Captain Kirk
to all ship personnel.
Red alert.
An attempt was made
to murder Ambassador Kollos.
The murderer is
dangerously insane.
He is Laurence Marvick.
Be on the watch for him.
Kirk out.
[Crash]
[Alarm]
Explain,
Lieutenant Sulu.
I don't believe this
myself, Captain,
but we're travelling
at warp factor 8.5.
And accelerating.
Get engineering,
Uhura.
They don't answer,
Captain.
Warp factor 9
and accelerating.
Can't you
