Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan Page #5

---

Meaning you can't|even beam us back?

Not at present.

Captain Spock...

if you don't hear from us|within one hour,

your orders are to restore|what power you can,

take the Enterprise to the nearest|star base,

and alert|Starfleet command.

Sir, we won't|leave you behind.

Uhura, if you don't|hear from us,

there won't be anybody behind.|Kirk out.

Well, gentlemen,|you can stay here, or...

If it's all the same,|Admiral,

we'd like|to share the risk.

Right. Let's go.

Saavik?

Go? Where are we going?

Where they went.

Suppose they went nowhere?

Then this will be|your big chance

to get away|from it all.

Admiral.

Genesis, I presume.

Phasers down!

You!

Where's Dr. Marcus?

I'm Dr. Marcus.

Jim!

Is that David?

Mother, he killed everybody|we left behind.

Oh, of course he didn't.

David, you're just|making this harder.

I'm afraid|it's even harder

than you think, Doctor.

Please...

don't move.

Chekov?

I'm...

sorry, Admiral.

Your Excellency,|have you been listening?

I have indeed, Captain.

You have done well.

I knew it.|You son of a b*tch!

Don't move, anybody!

Captain?

We are waiting.

What's the delay?

All is well, sir.

You have the coordinates|to beam up Genesis.

First things first, Captain.

Kill Admiral Kirk.

Sir, it is difficult. I...

I try to obey, but...

Kill him.

I...

Aah!

Kill him, Terrell, now!

Aah!

Aah!

God sakes!

What is it?

Khan, you bloodsucker!

You'll have to do|your own dirty work now.

Do you hear me?|Do you?

Kirk.

Kirk, you're still alive,|my old friend.

Still, "old friend."

You've managed to kill just about|everyone else.

But like|a poor marksman,

you keep missing|the target!

Perhaps I no longer|need to try, Admiral.

Oh, no!

They can't take it.

Khan?

Khan, you've got Genesis,

but you don't|have me.

If you're going|to kill me, Khan,

you're going to have to|come down here!

I've done far worse|than kill you.

I've hurt you,

and I wish to go on|hurting you.

I shall leave you|as you left me-

as you left her-

marooned for all eternity

in the center|of a dead planet.

Buried alive.

Buried alive.

Khan!

Khan!

This is Lieutenant Saavik|calling Enterprise.

Can you read us?

This is Lieutenant Saavik.|Calling Enterprise.

Can you read us?

He's coming around.

Can you read us?

It's no use, Admiral.

They're still jamming|all channels.

If the Enterprise followed orders,|she's long since gone.

If she couldn't obey,|she's finished.

So are we,|it looks like.

I don't understand.|Who's responsible for all this?

Who is Khan?

Well, it's a long story.

We appear to have|plenty of time.

Is there|anything to eat?

I don't know about anybody else,|but I'm starved.

How can you think of food|at a time like this?

First order|of business-survival.

There is food|in the Genesis cave,

enough to last|a lifetime...

if necessary.

We thought|this was Genesis.

This?

It took the Starfleet|corps of engineers

What we did in there,|we did in a day.

David, why don't you show

Dr. McCoy|and the lieutenant

our idea of food?

We can't just sit here.

Oh, yes, we can.

This is just to give us|something to do, isn't it?

Come on.

Admiral?

As your teacher Mr. Spock|is fond to say,

I like to think that there always|are possibilities.

I did what you wanted.

I stayed away.

Why didn't you tell him?

How can you|ask me that?

Were we together?

Were we going to be?

You had your world,|and I had mine.

And I wanted him in mine,

not chasing through the universe|with his father.

Actually...

he's a lot like you...

in many ways.

Please tell me|what you're feeling.

There's a man out there|I haven't seen in 1 5 years

who's trying to kill me.

You show me a son|that would be happy to help.

My son.

My life that|could have been...

and wasn't.

What am I feeling?

Old.

Worn-out.

Let me show you something

that will|make you feel young

as when the world|was new.

Impulse power restored.

Excellent.

More than a match|for poor Enterprise.

You did all this|in a day?

The matrix formed|in a day.

The life forms|grew later

at a substantially|accelerated rate.

Jim! This is incredible!

Have you ever|seen the like?

Can I cook|or can't l?

Where is she?

Sir, may I ask you|a question?

What's on your mind?

The Kobayashi Maru, sir.

You're asking if we're playing out|that scenario?

On the test, sir.

Will you tell me|what you did?

I would really like|to know.

Lieutenant, you're looking|at the only Starfleet cadet

who ever beat|the no-win scenario.

How?

I reprogrammed|the simulation

so it was possible|to rescue the ship.

What?

He cheated.

Changed the conditions|of the test.

Got a commendation|for original thinking.

I don't like to lose.

Then you never faced|that situation...

faced death.

I don't believe|in the no-win scenario.

Kirk to Spock.

It's two hours.|Are you ready?

Right on schedule.|Just give us your coordinates,

and we'll|beam you aboard.

All right.

I don't like to lose.

We were immobilized.

Captain Spock said|it would be two days.

You go by the book.

Spock, you know Dr. Marcus.

Of course.

Hello, Mr. Spock.

I'm taking them|to sickbay.

By the book?

By the book.|Regulation 46a-

"If transmissions are being|monitored during battle...

no uncoded messages|on an open channel."

You lied.

I exaggerated.

Hours instead of days.

Now we have minutes|instead of hours.

They're inoperative|below C-Deck.

What is working|around here?

Not much, Admiral.|We have partial main power.

That's it?

Best we can do|in two hours.

Admiral on the bridge.

Battle stations.

Tactical.

Uh-oh.

She can still outrun us|and outgun us,

But there is the Mutara Nebula|at 153 mark 4.

Scotty, can we make it inside?

The energizer's bypassed|like a Christmas tree,

so don't give me|too many bumps.

No promises.|On your way.

Trouble with|the nebula, sir,

is all that static|discharging gas

clouds our|tactical display.

Visual won't function,|and shields will be useless.

Sauce for the goose,|Mr. Saavik.

The odds will be even.

Alley clear, sir.

Repairing second.

Ready to fire away 1 .

There she is!

There she is.

Ahh.

Not so wounded|as we were led to believe.

So much the better.

Estimating nebula penetration|in 2.2 minutes.

Reliant is closing.

If they go in there,|we'll lose them.

Explain it to them.

That was close.

They just don't want us|going in there.

One minute|to nebula perimeter.

Why are we slowing?

We daren't follow them|into the nebula, sir.

Our shields|would be useless.

They are reducing speed.

Uhura, patch me in.

Aye, sir.

You're on, Admiral.

This is Admiral Kirk.

We tried it once|your way, Khan.

Are you game|for a rematch?

Khan.

I'm laughing at|the superior intellect.

Full impulse power.

No, sir!

You have Genesis.|You can have whatever you-

Full power!

Damn you!

I'll say this for him-|he's consistent.

We are now entering|the Mutara Nebula.

Emergency lights.

Oh!

Tactical.

Inoperative.

Raise the shields.

As I feared, sir-|not functional.

I'm reducing speed.
