Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

Don't grieve,

Admiral.

It is logical.

The needs

of the many outweigh...

the needs of the few.

Or the one.

And I have been

and always shall be

your friend.

Live long...

and prosper.

We are assembled

here today

to pay final respects

to our honored dead.

This death takes place

in the shadow of new life,

the sunrise

of a new world,

a world

our beloved comrade

gave his life to protect

and nourish.

He did not feel

this sacrifice

a vain or empty one.

Of my friend,

I can only say this.

Of all the souls

I have encountered

in my travels,

his was the most...

human.

Honors, hup!

Space, the final frontier.

These are

the continuing voyages

of the Starship Enterprise.

Her ongoing mission-

to explore

strange new worlds,

to seek out

new life forms

and new civilizations.

To boldly go

where no man has gone

before.

U.S.S. Enterprise,

Captain 's personal log.

With most of our

battle damage repaired,

we're almost home.

we're almost home.

Yet I feel uneasy,

and I wonder why.

Perhaps it is

the emptiness

of this vessel.

Most of our trainee crew

have been reassigned.

Lieutenant Saavik

and my son David

are exploring

the Genesis planet,

which he helped create.

And Enterprise feels

like a house

with all

the children gone.

No. More empty

even than that.

The death of Spock

is like an open wound.

It seems that

I have left

the noblest

part of myself

back there,

on that newborn planet.

Status, Mr. Sulu.

On course, Admiral.

Estimating space dock

in 2.1 hours.

Mr. Chekov, I'll need

a pre-approach scan.

Take the science

station, please.

Yes, sir.

Uhura.

Any response from Starfleet

on our Genesis inquiries?

No, sir. There

is no response.

That's very odd.

Scotty,

progress report.

It's almost done, sir.

You'll be automated

by the time we dock.

Your timing

is excellent.

You fixed

the barn door

after the horse

has come home.

How much refit time

is needed?

Eight weeks, sir,

but I'll do it in two.

Have you always multiplied

your repair estimates

by a factor of four?

How else can I

keep my reputation

as a miracle worker?

Your reputation

is secure, Scotty.

Mr. Sulu,

take the con.

I'll be

in my quarters.

Aye, sir.

Sir?

I was wondering,

are they

planning a ceremony

when we get in?

I mean a reception?

A hero's welcome-

is that what you'd like?

God knows

there should be.

We've paid for the party

with our dearest blood.

Steady.

Steady, boys.

Keep scanning.

I thought you

people were reliable.

Where is he?

He's been here

for some time.

Put me on

hailing frequency.

Commander Kruge.

This is Valkris.

I have purchased the Genesis data.

Ready to transmit.

Well done,

Valkris, well done.

What the hell is-

Disengage cloaking device!

What the hell is-

Disengage cloaking device!

Transmit data.

Now!

Transmission completed.

You will find it useful.

Then you have seen it?

I have, my lord.

Unfortunate.

Understood.

Thrusters.

What the hell's

going on?

When do

I get paid off?

Soon, Captain.

Quite soon.

Success my lord.

And my love.

You will be remembered with honour.

Fire!

New course, Federation neutral zone.

Feed him!

Yes, my lord.

Approach control,

this is Enterprise,

ready for

docking maneuver.

Enterprise is

cleared to dock.

Lock on.

Systems locked.

Spacedock,

you have control.

Affirmative,

Enterprise.

Enjoy the ride,

and welcome home.

Enterprise confirms.

Would you

look at that.

My friends,

the great experiment...

the Excelsior,

ready for trial runs.

She's supposed to

have transwarp drive.

Aye. And if

my grandmother had wheels,

she'd be a wagon.

Come, come,

Mr. Scott.

Young minds, fresh ideas.

Be tolerant.

Acknowledge

doors are closing.

Stand by, umbilical

and gravitational

support systems.

Moorings activated.

All systems standing by.

Admiral.

This is not possible.

Mr. Chekov?

An energy reading

from "C" deck,

from inside

Mr. Spock's quarters.

I ordered Spock's

quarters sealed.

Yes, sir. I sealed

the room myself.

Nevertheless, I'm reading

a life form there.

This entire crew seems on

the edge of obsessive behavior

concerning Mr. Spock.

Sir, security reports the door

to Spock's quarters

has been forced.

I'm on my way.

Mr. Sulu, continue

docking procedure.

Aye, sir.

Hmm?

Jim...

Help me.

You left me

on Genesis.

Why did

you do that?

Help me.

Bones.

What the hell

are you doing?

Have you

lost your mind?

Help me, Jim.

Take me home.

Bones, we are.

We are home.

Then perhaps

it's not too late.

Climb

the steps, Jim.

Climb the steps

of Mount Seleya.

Mount Seleya?

Bones, Mount Seleya

is on Vulcan.

We're home, on Earth.

Remember.

Admiral,

docking is completed.

Starfleet Commander Morrow

is on his way

for inspection.

Uhura, get

the medics down here!

Get them now!

You've all done

remarkable service

under the most

difficult conditions.

You'll be receiving

Starfleet's

highest commendation,

and more importantly,

extended shore leave.

That is,

all but you, Mr. Scott.

They need your wisdom

on the Excelsior.

Report there tomorrow

as Captain of Engineering.

With all

appreciation, sir,

I'd prefer

to supervise

the refit of

Enterprise.

I'm afraid that

won't be necessary.

But, sir...

I'm sorry, Mr. Scott,

but there

will be no refit.

Admiral.

I don't understand.

The Enterprise is not-

Jim, the Enterprise

is 20 years old.

We feel

her day is over.

But we had

requested...

We'd hoped to take

her back to Genesis.

That is out

of the question.

Why?

In your absence,

Genesis has become

a galactic

controversy.

Until the Federation

Council makes policy,

you're all under orders

not to discuss with anyone

your knowledge

of Genesis.

Consider it

a quarantined planet

and a forbidden subject.

To fully understand

the events I report,

it is necessary

to review

the theoretical data

on the Genesis device

as developed by Doctors

Carol and David Marcus.

Genesis, simply put,

is life from lifelessness.

We intended to introduce

the Genesis device

into a preselected area

of a lifeless space body-

a moon or

other dead form.

The device,

when delivered,

would instantaneously

cause the Genesis effect.

Instead of a dead moon,

a living, breathing

planet now exists,

capable of sustaining

whatever life forms

we see fit

to deposit on it.

So?

Speak.

Great power

to control...

dominate.

Speak.

Impressive.

They can make

planets.

Oh, yes.

New cities,

homes in the country,

your woman

at your side,

children playing

at your feet,

and overhead, fluttering

in the breeze,

the flag

of the Federation.

Charming.

Station.

Yes, my lord.

Share this

with no one.

Understood,

my lord.

We are going

to this planet.

Even as our emissaries negotiate

for peace with the Federation,

we will act for the preservation

of our race.

We will seize the secret

of this weapon.

The secret

of ultimate power!

Success, my lord.

We have reached

the destination planet
