sanctuary is my right.
I am your prisoner.
Honour that right,
or the fight will go on
and your ship will burn up.
You've made your point.
If you listen to
his legalistic trickery,
I shall have to destroy
this ship and everybody aboard.
I understand.
Will you return
the Enterprise to my control?
Why not?
Scotty, have repairs on directional
control been completed?
Aye, sir, rerouted.
Check controls
and coordinates.
[Sulu] Controls operating.
The Enterprise is responding.
- Captain, it's beautiful.
- Locking onto coordinates.
Captain, we are within
scanning range of Cheron.
- Is it within visual range?
- Coming within visual range now.
Chekov, put it on the screen,
extreme magnification.
- What are you picking up?
- Several large cities, uninhabited.
Extensive traffic systems,
barren of traffic.
Lower animal sand vegetation
encroaching on the cities.
No sapient life-forms
registering at all, Captain.
[Spock] There is no evidence
of natural disaster,
yet there are vast numbers of
unburied corpses in all cities.
You mean,
all the people are dead?
All dead, Captain.
They have annihilated
each other totally.
My people, my--
all dead?
Yes, Commissioner,
all of them.
- No one alive?
- None at all, sir.
Your band of murderers
did this.
Your insane asylum maniacs
did this!
Stop it!
What's the matter with you two?
Didn't you hear Spock?
Your planet is dead!
There's nobody alive on Cheron
because of hate.
The cause you fought about
no longer exists.
Give yourselves time to breathe.
Give up your hate.
You're welcome
to live with us.
Listen to me.
You both must
end up dead
if you don't stop hating.
You're an
idealistic dreamer.
Bele?
The chase is finished.
He must not escape me.
Where can he go?
Bele?
- Shall I alert security, sir?
- No, Lieutenant.
Where can they run?
[Spock] Captain, I have located
them on ship's sensors.
Bele is chasing Lokai
on deck 3.
Bele is passing recreation room 3,
approaching
the crewmen's lounge.
Lokai is running past
the crewmen's lounge.
Lokai has just arrived
on deck 5.
Passing recreation room 3.
[Transporter Whirring]
[Transporter Humming]
Captain, someone has activated
the transporter mechanism.
Spock, anyone in
the transporter room?
Negative, Captain.
Transporter room is clear.
However, there is a life-form
materializing on the planet.
It is Lokai.
He is back on Cheron.
There's nobody there to try him.
His judges are all dead.
Captain, the transporter mechanism
has been activated again.
- Of course.
- It is Bele, Captain.
[Transporter Whirring]
[Transporter Humming]
And another life-form
has appeared on Cheron.
It doesn't make
any sense.
To expect sense from two mentalities
of such extreme viewpoints
is not logical.
But their planet's dead. Does
it matter now which one's right?
Not to Lokai and Bele. All that
matters to them is their hate.
Do you suppose that's
all they ever had, sir?
No. But that's all they have left.
Warp factor 2, Mr. Sulu.

Captain's Log : Star date 5718.3.
The Enterprise is orbiting Elba 11,
a planet with a poisonous atmosphere ...
where the Federation
maintains an asylum...
for the few remaining incorrigible,
criminally insane of the galaxy.
We are bringing a revolutionary
new medicine to them,
a medicine with which the Federation
hopes to eliminate mental illness...
for all time.
I am transporting down
with Mr. Spock,
and we're delivering
the medicine to Dr. Donald Cory,
the governor of the colony.
- Donald, good to see you.
- Governor.
Gentlemen, you don't know
what a treat this is for me.
It's been too long
since I've had company, Jim.
The force field's
back in place now.
That means you two
are trapped here.
I'm not accepting any excuses
for your not dining with me.
We'd be delighted.
Governor, you indicated one
additional inmate since our last visit,
making a total of 15.
- Is that correct ?
