Star Trek Into Darkness Page #4

Will you just

make an exception and sign...

Do you accept my resignation or not?

I do!

I do.

You are relieved, Mr. Scott.

Jim, for the love of God,

do not use those torpedoes.

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE:

Attention.

Warp core anti-matter

containment check

in three minutes.

UHURA:
Captain! I'm so sorry

about Admiral Pike.

We all are.

- Are you okay?

- Fine, thank you, Lieutenant.

(SIGHS)

Actually, Scotty just quit.

And your boyfriend's second-guessing

me every chance he gets.

I'm sorry, that was inappropriate.

It's just sometimes

I want to rip the bangs off his head.

- You know, maybe it's me. I...

- It's not you.

It's not?

Wait, are you guys...

Are you guys fighting?

I'd rather not talk about it, sir.

Oh, my God! What is that even like?

Your ears burning?

CHEKOV:
Captain on the bridge!

SULU:
Captain.

Mr. Chekov. You've been

shadowing Mr. Scott.

You are familiar with

the engineering systems of this ship?

Affirmative, sir.

Good.

You're my new Chief.

Go put on a red shirt.

Aye, Captain.

Retract all moorings, Mr. Sulu.

Yes, sir.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: Docking

clamps one, two, and three are released.

AUTOMATED MALE VOICE:

All moorings retracted.

Lieutenant Uhura,

open a shipwide channel.

UHURA:
Yes, sir.

KIRK:
Mr. Chekov,

how we looking down there?

- All systems nominal, Captain.

- Copy that.

Warp available at your command.

Thank you, Mr. Chekov.

- All right. Let's ride.

- Yes, sir.

(PANELS BEEPING)

- (RADIO FREQUENCIES OPEN)

- Channel open, sir.

KIRK:
Attention, crew of the Enterprise.

As most of you know, Christopher Pike,

former captain of this ship

and our friend,

is dead.

The man who killed him

has fled our system

and is hiding on the Klingon homeworld,

somewhere he believes

we are unwilling to go.

We are on our way there now.

Per Admiral Marcus, it is essential

that our presence go undetected.

Tensions between the Federation

and the Klingon Empire have been high.

Any provocation could lead

to an all-out war.

I will personally lead a landing party

to an abandoned city

on the surface of Kronos

where we will capture

the fugitive, John Harrison,

and return him to Earth

so he can face judgment for his actions.

All right. Let's go

get this son of a b*tch. Kirk out.

Captain, I believe you have

made the right decision.

If I can be of assistance,

I would be happy to accompany

you on the away team.

You? Happy?

I was simply attempting to use your

vernacular to convey an idea.

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

MAN:
(ON PA) All personnel, prepare

for the closing of payload bay doors.

(TRICORDER BEEPING)

Mr. Spock. You startled me.

What are you doing, Doctor?

- Verifying that the torpedo's internal...

- You misunderstand.

What are you doing aboard this ship?

There is no record

of you being assigned to the Enterprise.

Really? That must be

some sort of mistake.

My conclusion as well, Dr. Marcus.

Except that you have lied

about your identity.

Wallace is the surname of your mother.

I can only assume

the Admiral is your father.

Mr. Spock.

I'm aware that I have

no right to ask this of you.

But please, he cannot

know that I'm here...

(ALL GRUNTING)

Engineering manually

dropped us out of warp, sir.

Mr. Chekov, did you break my ship?

Sorry, sir. I don't know what happened!

The core overheated.

I had to activate the emergency stop.

It must be a coolant leak.

I need time to find it.

- Sorry, Captain.

- Damn it.

(SIGHS) Mr. Sulu,

time to our destination.

Twenty minutes, sir.

That's 20 minutes

in enemy space we weren't counting on.

All right. We better hop to it.

- Where's Spock?

- Here, Captain.

You're coming with me to Kronos.

Lieutenant, how's your Klingon?

- It's rusty, but it's good.

- Good, you're coming, too.

This isn't going to be a problem, is it,

you two working together?

Absolutely not.

Unclear.

I'll meet you in the shuttle bay.

Jim, you're not actually

going down there, are you?

You don't rob a bank

when the getaway car has a flat tire.

(RADIO FREQUENCIES OPEN)

I'm sure engineering

will have us all patched up

by the time we get back.

Isn't that right, Mr. Chekov?

Yes, Captain.

- I'll do my best, sir.

- (RADIO FREQUENCIES CLOSE)

Mr. Sulu, you have the conn.

Once we're en route,

I want you to transmit

a targeted comm burst

to Harrison's location.

You tell him you have a bunch

of real big torpedoes pointed at his head

and if he doesn't play nice,

you're not afraid to use them.

- Is that a problem?

- No, sir.

I've just never sat in the chair before.

You're gonna do great.

(SOFTLY) Jim! Wait!

You just sat that man down

at a high-stakes poker game

with no cards and told him to bluff.

Now Sulu's a good man,

but he is no captain.

For the next two hours, he is.

And enough with the metaphors,

all right? That's an order.

KIRK:
Mr. Sulu, make sure

that K'normian ship is ready to fly.

(RADIO FREQUENCIES OPEN)

Acting Captain Sulu to Shuttle Bay 2.

Please have the trade ship

we confiscated

during the Mudd incident last month

fueled and flight ready.

Captain Kirk is en route to you now.

Ready to deploy, Captain.

KIRK:
Lieutenants, lose the red shirts.

You are K'normian arms dealers.

Put those on.

- Sir?

- Look, if this thing goes south,

there can be nothing

tying us to Starfleet.

Unless of course you want to

start a war, Mr. Hendorff.

- No, sir.

- No, sir.

Good. Me, neither.

I am detecting

a single life sign in the Ketha Province.

Given the information

provided by Mr. Scott,

this is most likely John Harrison.

Mr. Sulu, I think we found our man.

You let him know you mean business.

SULU:
Aye, Captain.

(HAILING FREQUENCIES OPENS)

Attention, John Harrison.

This is Captain Hikaru Sulu

of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

A shuttle of highly trained officers

is on its way to your location.

If you do not surrender

to them immediately,

I will unleash the entire payload

of advanced long-range torpedoes

currently locked onto your location.

You have two minutes

to confirm your compliance.

Refusal to do so will result

in your obliteration.

If you test me, you will fail.

(FREQUENCIES CLOSE)

Mr. Sulu,

remind me never to piss you off.

SPOCK:
We will arrive

at Harrison's location

in three minutes, Captain.

It is unlikely that he will come willingly.

I calculate the odds

of him attempting to kill us at 91 .6%.

Fantastic.

Good thing you don't care about dying.

I am sorry, Lieutenant.

I could not hear what you said.

I didn't say anything.

Actually, I'd be happy to speak

- if you're willing to listen to me.

- Guys...

Lieutenant, I would prefer

to discuss this in private.

You'd prefer not to discuss this at all.

SPOCK:
Our current circumstances...

Are you really gonna do this right now?

What never seems to require

your undivided focus...

I'm sorry, Captain, just two seconds.

- Okay.

- ...ls us.

At that volcano, you didn't

give a thought to us.

What it would do to me
