We shall examine it.
There was a Federation
colony on this planet.
It was destroyed.
By what?
No bodies, no ruins.
A colony of the invisible?
Yes, a test of
a new Klingon weapon,
leaving no traces.
Federation ships don't specialize
in sneak attacks.
We have wondered
when you would begin.
You lured my ship
into ambush
by a false Klingon
distress call.
You will tell us why
with proper persuasion.
You received a call?
We received
a distress call.
I don't propose to spend
the rest of my life
on this ball of dust,
arguing your fantasies.
The Enterprise is mine!
Instruct your transporter
room to beam us aboard.
Go to the devil.
We have no devil, Kirk.
But we understand
the habits of yours.
I shall torture you...
to death...
one by one...
until your noble captain
cries "enough."
Who will be first?
Cossacks!
Filthy Klingon murderers!
You killed
my brother Piotr.
The Archanis 4
research outpost.
100 peaceful people
massacred!
Just like you did here.
My brother--
you killed him.
And you volunteer
to join him.
That is loyalty.
Aah!
Chekov!
[Chekov Screaming]
Stop the torture!
Jim, you can't handover
the Enterprise.
Help Chekov.
Don't plan any tricks,
Kirk.
I will kill 100 hostages
at the first sign
of treachery.
I'll beam you aboard
the Enterprise.
Once there, no tricks.
Captain, you can't.
Don't let these animals
have the ship.
Move aside.
[Kang]Animals.
Your captain
crawls like one.
A Klingon would never
have surrendered.
Order everybody in this area
to be transported up.
All weapons on him.
Kirk to Enterprise.
Mr. Spock.
Here, Captain.
Mr. Spock,
we have guests.
Adjust transporter
to wide field.
Beam up everyone
in the target area.
Understood, Captain.
Transporter room.
Full security, Johnson,
on the double.
Good work, Spock.
What happened?
Our landing party
is intact, Doctor.
All others suspended
in transit.
Who are the guests?
Klingons.
Well, they're right
in here.
Johnson?
Security on the way.
Captain, leave them
where they are--
non-existence.
That's so many less
Klingon monsters in the galaxy.
Bring them in.
Move 'em out. Move!
Liar!
I said no tricks after
we reach the ship.
You're a prisoner
of the Federation of Planets
against which you may have
committed an act of war.
There are survivors
aboard my ship.
We've not been able to get through
to Starfleet Command.
Subspace frequencies
have been blocked.
There's too much radiation
coming from that Klingon ship.
It's a hazard
to the vicinity.
Prepare to destruct.
Completing the job
you started?
You wouldn't be standing
here if I had.
First group from
the Klingon vessel.
My wife, Mara,
and my science officer.
Kang, what has happened?
More Federation
treachery.
We are prisoners.
What will they do to us?
I've heard of their atrocities,
their death camps.
They will torture us for our
scientific and military information.
You have a few things
to learn about us.
Program
the food synthesizer
to accommodate
our guests.
You'll be well-treated,
Kang.
So I have seen.
Secure from Red Alert.
But maintain
general quarters.
Scan this sector
for other ships.
Run a full check
on the colony.
We know what happened.
That distress call.
At the moment we received
the distress signal
from the colony
on Beta XII-A,
the Klingons were
too far distant
to have been
the attackers.
Moreover, they also were
apparently attracted
by a distress call.
Lies. They want to
start a war
by pretending
that we did.
Chekov
may be right.
Klingons claim
to have honored the truce,
but there have been raids
on our outposts.
No proof that Klingons
committed it.
What proof
do we need?
We know what
a Klingon is.
Our log tapes
will indicate
our innocence
in the present situation.
Unfortunately,
there's no guarantee
that they will
be believed.
Report.
Still no contact with
Starfleet Command, sir.
Outside communications
blanketed.
