Kill one of them.

I don't care which.

Saavik?

David?

Admiral,

David is dead.

You Klingon bastard,

you've killed my son.

You Klingon bastard,

you've killed my son.

You Klingon bastard!

There are two more

prisoners, Admiral.

Do you want

them killed, too?

Surrender your vessel.

All right.

All right, damn you.

All right.

Give me a minute

to inform my crew.

I give two minutes

for you and your

gallant crew.

Take every last man.

Form a boarding

party armed heavily.

They outnumber us.

We are Klingons!

Once you control

the ship,

we'll transfer

our flag there

and take Genesis from their own

memory banks.

Mr. Sulu,

what is the crew complement

of a bird of prey?

About a dozen

officers and men.

With some of them

on the planet.

I swear to you,

we're not finished yet.

Bones, you and Sulu

to the transporter room.

The rest of you,

we have a job to do.

Commander,

Klingon vessel...

Prepare to board

on my next signal.

No tricks, Kirk.

You have one minute.

No tricks.

I'm looking

forward to meeting you.

To the transport room.

Success!

Computer, this is

Admiral James T. Kirk.

Request security access.

Computer,

destruct sequence one,

code 1-1 a.

Computer, Commander Montgomery

Scott, chief engineering officer.

Destruct sequence two,

code 1-1 a-2b.

Computer, this is

Commander Pavel Chekov,

acting science officer.

Destruct sequence three,

code 1 b-2b-3.

Destruct sequence

completed and engaged.

Awaiting final code

for one-minute countdown.

Code zero zero zero.

Destruct.

Zero.

Destruct sequence

is activated.

Kirk, the time

runs out.

All set?

Aye, sir.

Commander,

Klingon vessel.

We are energizing

transporter beam now.

Transporter, stand by.

Hara.

My lord, the ship appears

to be deserted.

How can that be?

They're hiding!

The bridge

is run by computer.

It's the only

thing speaking.

Speaking?

Let me hear.

9...8...7...6...

5...

Get out!

Get out of there!

1...

My God, Bones,

what have I done?

What you had to do.

What you always do.

Turn death into

a fighting chance to live.

Planet core readings.

Unstable,

changing rapidly.

What about

surface life signs?

There.

Yaaa!

Aah!

No, don't

touch him.

Bones.

What happened?

He gave his life

to save us.

Rapid aging.

All genetic functions

highly accelerated.

What about his mind?

His mind's a void.

It seems I've got

all his marbles.

Is there anything

we can do?

Only one thing-

get him off this planet.

His aging is part

of what's going on around us.

Klingon Commander, this is

Admiral James T. Kirk.

I'm alive and well

on the planet surface.

I know this will come

as a pleasant surprise,

but our ship had

an unfortunate accident.

Sorry about your crew,

but as we say on Earth,

c'est la vie.

I have what you want.

I have the secret

of Genesis.

You're going to have to

bring us up there to get it.

Do you hear me?

I'm waiting for you.

What is your answer?

Aaahhh!

Drop all weapons!

Over there.

All but Kirk.

Maltz.

Prisoners are

at beam coordinates.

Take the Vulcan, too.

No!

But why?

Because you wish it.

Maltz - activate beam!

Genesis.

I want it!

Beam the Vulcan up,

and we'll talk.

Give me what I want,

and I'll consider it.

You fool,

look around you!

The planet's

destroying itself!

Yes, exhilarating,

isn't it?

If we don't help each other,

we'll die here.

Perfect. Then that's

the way it shall be.

Give me Genesis!

Aah!

Give me your hand!

I...

have had...

enough of you!

Maltz...

Jolyichu!

Don't.

How many more?

Just him, sir.

Bones, help Spock.

We've got to

break out of orbit.

You,

help us or die.

I do not

deserve to live.

Fine. I'll

kill you later.

Let's get

out of here.

Where's the damn

anti-matter inducer?

This?

No, this!

That or nothing.

If I'm right,

we have full power.

Go, Sulu.

Goodbye, David.

We are clear

and free to navigate.

Best speed to Vulcan.

Take the prisoner below.

Aye, sir.

Wait. You said

you would kill me.

I lied.

Spock,

for God sakes,

talk to me.

You stuck this damn thing

in my head, remember?

Remember?

Now tell me

what to do with it.

Help me.

I'm going to

tell you something

that I never thought

I'd ever hear myself say.

But it seems

I've missed you.

I don't know

if I could...

stand to

lose you again.

Ambassador,

they're on approach.

They're requesting

permission to land.

Permission granted.

Tell them...

tell Kirk...

we'll be ready.

Mr. Sulu,

you're on manual.

It's been a while, sir.

Here we go.

Retrothrusters.

Sarek is waiting

above, sir.

Kaltorfalikal.

Sarek...

Child of Skon,

child

of Solkar...

the body of your son

breathes still.

What is

your wish?

I ask for

Fal-tor-pan,

the re-fusion.

What you seek has not

been done since ages past...

and then,

only in legend.

Your request

is not logical.

Forgive me, T'lar.

My logic...is uncertain

where my son

is concerned.

Who is the keeper

of the Katra?

I am.

McCoy,

Leonard H.,

son of David.

McCoy, son of David,

since

thou art human,

we cannot

expect thee

to understand fully

what Sarek

has requested.

Spock's body lives.

With your approval,

we shall use

all our powers

to return

to his body

that which

you possess.

But, McCoy,

you must

now be warned.

The danger

to thyself

is as grave

as the danger to Spock.

You must

make the choice.

I choose the danger.

Hell of a time

to ask.

Ben... val...navu.

I'm all right, Jim.

What about Spock?

Only time

will answer.

Kirk...

I thank you.

What you

have done-

What I have done...

I had to do.

But at what cost?

Your ship, your son.

If I hadn't tried,

the cost would've

been my soul.

My father says

that you have

been my friend.

You came back

for me.

You would have done

the same for me.

Why would

you do this?

Because the needs

of the one...

outweigh the needs

of the many.

I have been

and ever shall be

your friend.

Yes.

Yes, Spock.

The ship...

out of danger?

You saved the ship.

You saved us all.

Don't you remember?

Jim.

Your name is Jim.

Yes.

Gene Roddenberry

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991) was an American television screenwriter and producer. He is best remembered for creating the original Star Trek television series. Born in El Paso, Texas, Roddenberry grew up in Los Angeles, where his father was a police officer. Roddenberry flew 89 combat missions in the Army Air Forces during World War II, and worked as a commercial pilot after the war. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Los Angeles Police Department, where he also began to write scripts for television. As a freelance writer, Roddenberry wrote scripts for Highway Patrol, Have Gun–Will Travel, and other series, before creating and producing his own television series The Lieutenant. In 1964, Roddenberry created Star Trek, which premiered in 1966 and ran for three seasons before being canceled. He then worked on other projects, including a string of failed television pilots. The syndication of Star Trek led to its growing popularity; this, in turn, resulted in the Star Trek feature films, on which Roddenberry continued to produce and consult. In 1987, the sequel series Star Trek: The Next Generation began airing on television in first-run syndication; Roddenberry was heavily involved in the initial development of the series, but took a less active role after the first season due to ill health. He continued to consult on the series until his death in 1991. In 1985, he became the first TV writer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was later inducted by both the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Years after his death, Roddenberry was one of the first humans to have his ashes carried into earth orbit. The popularity of the Star Trek universe and films has inspired films, books, comic books, video games, and fan films set in the Star Trek universe. more…
