Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan Page #4

---

Raise shields.

Fire!

Aah!

Get those shields up!

Trying, sir.

I can't get power.

Scotty!

Get off those channels!

Mr. Scott|on the screen.

I'm just|hanging on, sir.

The main energizer's out.

Try auxiliary power.

Aye, aye, sir.

Damage report.

They knew exactly|where to hit us.

Who? Who knew where|to hit us? And why?

One thing is certain.

We cannot escape|on auxiliary power.

Visual.

Sulu, divert power|to phasers.

Too late.

Hang on!

Scotty, what's left?

Just the battery, sir.

I can have auxiliary power|in a few minutes.

We don't have|a few minutes!

Can you give me|phaser power?

A few shots, sir.

Not enough against|their shields.

Who the hell are they?

Admiral, the Reliant's|commander is signaling.

He wishes to discuss|terms of our surrender.

Put it on screen.

Admiral.

Do it!

While we still have time.

On screen, sir.

Khan.

You still remember, Admiral.

I cannot help|but be touched.

I, of course,|remember you.

What's the meaning|of this attack?

Where's the crew|of the Reliant?

Surely, I have made|my meaning plain.

I mean to avenge myself|upon you, Admiral.

I deprived your ship|of power,

and when I swing around,

I mean to deprive you|of your life.

But I wanted you|to know first

who it was|who had beaten you.

Khan...

if it's me you want,

I'll have myself|beamed aboard.

Spare my crew.

I make you|a counterproposal.

I'll agree|to your terms if...

if...

in addition|to yourself,

you hand over to me|all data and material

regarding the project|called Genesis.

Genesis? What's that?

Don't insult|my intelligence, Kirk.

Give me time to recall|the data on our computers.

I give you|60 seconds, Admiral.

Clear the bridge.

At least we know he doesn't|have Genesis.

Keep nodding as though|I'm still giving orders.

Mr. Saavik,|punch up the data charts

of Reliant's|command console.

Reliant's Command?

Hurry.

The prefix code?

It's all we've got.

Chart's up, sir.

Admiral.

We're finding it.

Admiral.

Please. Please,|you've got to give us time.

The bridge is smashed.

The computer's inoperative.

Time is a luxury|you don't have, Admiral.

Damn!

Admiral?

It's coming through|now, Khan.

Reliant's prefix number|is 1 6309.

I don't understand.

You have to learn why things work|on a starship.

Each ship has its own|combination code...

to prevent an enemy from doing|what we're attempting.

We're using|our console

to order Reliant|to lower her shields.

Assuming he hasn't changed|the combination.

He's quite intelligent.

Khan, how do we know|you'll keep your word?

I've given you|no word to keep, Admiral.

In my judgment,|you simply have no alternative.

I see your point.

Stand by to receive|our transmission.

Mr. Sulu,|lock phasers on target

and await my command.

Phasers locked.

Time's up, Admiral.

Here it comes.

Now, Mr. Spock.

Sir, our shields are dropping.

Raise them!

I can't!

Where's the override?|The override?

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

We can't, sir!

Why can't you?

They've damaged the photon control|and the warp drive.

We must withdraw!

No! No!

We must!

Enterprise will wait.

She's not|going anywhere.

Sir, you did it.

I did nothing...

except get caught|with my britches down.

I must be|getting senile.

Mr. Saavik, you go right|on quoting regulations.

Meantime, let's find out

how badly|we've been hurt.

Is the word given, Admiral?

The word is given.

Warp speed.

Aye.

He stayed at his post|when the trainees ran.

Admiral, this is Spock.

Yes, Spock.

Engine room reports|auxiliary power restored.

We can proceed|at impulse power.

Best speed to Regula-1 .|Kirk out.

I'm sorry, Scotty.

Approaching Regula|at Space Lab Regula-1.

Space Station Regula-1,

this is|the starship Enterprise.

Please come in.

Space Station Regula-1,|do you read?

Space Station Regula-1,|this is Enterprise.

Please acknowledge.

This is Enterprise.|Do you read me?

Space Station Regula-1 ,|do you read?

Please come in.

There's no response, sir.

Sensors, Captain.

Scanners and sensors|are still inoperative.

There's no way to ascertain|what's inside the station.

No way of telling|if Reliant is still in the area.

Precisely.

What do you make|of that planetoid beyond?

Regula is Class D.

It consists of various|unremarkable ores,

essentially|a great rock in space.

And Reliant could be hiding|behind that rock.

A distinct possibility.

Engineering.

Aye, sir.

Mr. Scott, do you have enough power|for transporters?

Barely, sir.

I'm going down there.

Khan could be|down there.

He's been there.|Can you spare someone?

There may be people hurt.

Yeah. I can spare me.

Begging the Admiral's pardon.

General order 1 5.

"No flag officer shall beam|into a hazardous area

without armed escort."

There's no such regulation.

All right.|Join the party.

Mr. Spock,|the ship is yours.

Jim, be careful.

We will.

Indeterminate life signs.

Phasers on stun.

Move out.

Aah.

Jim!

Well, rigor hasn't set in.

This couldn't have happened|too long ago, Jim.

Carol.

This is Enterprise|calling Space Lab Regula-1 .

Respond, please.

Admiral. Over here.

Dr. Marcus,|come in, please.

Oh, my God.

Please acknowledge signal.|Please-

Commander Uhura,|this is Lieutenant Saavik.

We're all right.|Please standby. Out.

Oh, sir,|it was Khan.

We found him|on Ceti Alpha V.

Easy. Easy.

He...

he put creatures|in our bodies

to control our minds.

It's all right.|You're safe now.

Made us say lies...

do things...

but we beat him.

He thought he controlled us,|but he did not.

The Captain was strong.

Captain...

where's Dr. Marcus?

Where are the|Genesis materials?

He couldn't find them.

Even the data banks|were empty.

Erased?

He tortured|those people.

But none of them|would tell him anything.

He went wild.

He slit their throats.

He wanted to tear the place apart,|but he was late.

He had to get back|to the Reliant

in time|to blow you to bits.

Where's Reliant's crew? Dead?

Marooned|on Ceti Alpha V.

He's completely|mad, Admiral.

He blames you for the death|of his wife.

I know what|he blames me for.

The escape pods|are all in place.

Where's the transporter room?

Did he make it|down here?

It was not|my impression.

He spent most|of his time

trying to wring the information|out of the people.

Anything?

The unit's been left on,

which means nobody remained|to turn it off.

Those people back there

bought escape time for Genesis|with their lives.

This is not logical.

These coordinates|are deep inside Regula,

a planetoid we know|to be lifeless.

If Stage Two|is completed,

it was going|to be underground.

It was going to be|underground, she said.

Stage Two of what?

Kirk to Enterprise.

Spock here.

Captain Spock,|damage report.

Admiral,|if we go by the book,

like Lieutenant Saavik,

hours could seem|like days.

I read you, Captain.|Let's have it.

The situation|is grave, Admiral.

We won't have main power|for six days.

Auxiliary power|has temporarily failed.

Restoration maybe possible|in two days.

By the book, Admiral.
