transmission as requested.

On screen, please.

UHURA:
Stand by.

Mr. Spock.

Mr. Spock.

GUARD:
Admiral.

I'll deal with you in a...

I am ashamed to be your daughter.

(DOOR OPENS)

Sir, we just had

a hangar door open on deck 13.

Khan.

SCOTTY:
They're going to have

full power and we're walking?

The turbolifts are easily tracked

and Marcus would have us in a cage.

This path runs adjacent

to the engine room.

They know they

won't be able to use their weapons here

without destabilizing the warp core,

which gives us the advantage.

- Where'd you find this guy?

- It's a long story.

SPOCK:
I will be brief.

In your travels, did you ever

encounter a man named Khan?

As you know,

I have made a vow

never to give you information

that could potentially alter your destiny.

Your path is yours to walk,

and yours alone.

That being said,

Khan Noonien Singh is

the most dangerous adversary

the Enterprise ever faced.

He is brilliant, ruthless,

and he will not hesitate to kill

every single one of you.

Did you defeat him?

At great cost. Yes.

How?

I don't mean to tempt fate here,

but where is everybody?

The ship is designed

to be flown by minimal crew,

one, if necessary.

- One? I...

- (GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

(GROANS)

- You all right?

- Yeah. Where's Khan?

Lieutenant, I need you to

assemble all senior medical

and engineering staff

in the weapons bay.

All right.

Dr. McCoy, you inadvertently

activated a torpedo.

Could you replicate the process?

Why the hell would I want to do that?

Can you or can you not?

Damn it, man, I'm a doctor,

not a torpedo technician!

The fact that you

are a doctor is precisely

why I need you to listen very carefully.

Where is he?

Sh*t!

KHAN:
This way.

The minute we get

to the bridge, drop him.

What, stun him? Khan?

I thought he was helping us.

I'm pretty sure we're helping him.

(DOORS OPENING)

Power coming online, sir!

Retarget the Enterprise now.

- CREWMAN:
Aye, sir.

- (PHASERS FIRING)

(MEN GRUNTING)

Make sure he stays down.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

Admiral Marcus, you're under arrest.

You're not actually

going to do this, are you?

Admiral, get out of the chair.

You better stop

and think about what you're doing, Kirk.

You better think about

what you did on Kronos.

You made an incursion

onto an enemy planet!

You killed a Klingon patrol.

Even if you got away without

a trace, war is coming.

And who is going to lead us? You?

If I'm not in charge,

our entire way of life is decimated!

So you want me off this ship,

you better kill me.

I'm not going to kill you, sir.

But I could stun your ass

and drag you out of that chair.

I'd rather not do that

in front of your daughter.

- You all right?

- Yes, Captain.

- (GRUNTS)

- Jim!

(GRUNTS)

- (GROANS)

- (YELLS)

Listen! Wait!

(GRUNTS)

- (BONE CRACKS)

- (SCREAMS)

(MARCUS GROANING)

- You...

- (SCREAMING)

You should have let me sleep.

- (MARCUS SCREAMING)

- (SKULL CRACKING)

(SCREAMING)

Where is the Captain, Mr. Sulu?

Our sensor array's down, sir.

I can't find him.

(KIRK GRUNTS)

I'm going to make this

very simple for you.

- Captain.

- Your crew for my crew.

You betrayed us.

You are smart, Mr. Spock.

Spock don't... (GROANS)

Mr. Spock, give me my crew.

And what will you do

when you get them?

Continue the work we were doing

before we were banished.

Which, as I understand it,

involves the mass genocide

of any being you find to be

less than superior.

Shall I destroy you, Mr. Spock?

Or will you give me what I want?

We have no transporter capabilities.

Fortunately mine are

perfectly functional.

Drop your shields.

If I do so, I have no guarantee

that you will not destroy the Enterprise.

Well, let's play this out

logically then, Mr. Spock.

Firstly, I will kill your Captain

to demonstrate my resolve.

Then if yours holds,

I will have no choice

but to kill you and your entire crew.

If you destroy our ship,

you will also destroy your own people.

Your crew requires oxygen

to survive, mine does not.

I will target your life support systems

located behind the aft nacelle.

And after every single person

aboard your ship suffocates,

I will walk over your cold

corpses to recover my people.

Now,

shall we begin?

Lower shields.

- (BEEPING)

- (SHIELDS POWER DOWN)

A wise choice, Mr. Spock.

(GRUNTS)

- (GASPS)

- (COUGHING)

(PANEL BEEPING)

KHAN:
I see your 72 torpedoes

are still in their tubes.

If they are not mine,

Commander, I will know it.

Vulcans do not lie.

The torpedoes are yours.

(BEEPING)

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

I have fulfilled your terms.

Now fulfill mine.

KHAN:
Well, Kirk,

it seems apt to return you to your crew.

- (GROANING)

- After all,

no ship should go down

without her captain.

(ALARMS BLARING)

He's locking phasers on us, sir!

- Let us out of here now!

- (EXPLOSION)

(ALL GRUNTING)

- (CREW CLAMORING)

- Shields at 6%!

The torpedoes!

How much time, Lieutenant?

Twelve seconds, sir!

Crew of the Enterprise,

prepare for imminent

proximity detonation.

What's he talking about?

What detonation?

The torpedoes.

He armed the damn torpedoes!

(POWERING UP)

(GRUNTING)

No!

Sir, their weapons

have been knocked out.

- Not bad, Commander.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.

- Bones!

- Bones!

- BONES:
Nurse!

- I got you. I got you.

- Dr. Marcus.

- (GROANING)

Good to see you, Jim.

You helped Spock

detonate those torpedoes?

Damn right I did.

He killed Khan's crew!

Spock's cold, but he's not that cold.

I've got Khan's crew.

Seventy-two human popsicles

safe and sound in their cryo tubes.

- Son of a b*tch!

- (SHIP POWERING DOWN)

CREWMAN:
Sir, the central

power grid is failing!

- Switch to auxiliary power.

- Auxiliary power failing, sir.

SULU:
Commander, our ship's

caught in Earth's gravity!

- Can we stop?

- I can't do anything.

(SCREAMING)

Sorry! Oh, no.

Clear the area!

Engage emergency lockdown!

I hope you don't get seasick.

- Do you?

- Yeah.

Lieutenant, sound evacuation, all decks.

Aye, sir.

As acting Captain,

I order you to abandon this ship.

I will remain behind and divert all power

to life support

and evacuation shuttle bays.

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE:

Evacuation protocols...

I order you to abandon the ship!

All due respect, Commander,

but we're not going anywhere.

Attention all decks.

Evacuation

protocols initiated.

One day I've been off this ship!

One bloody day!

(SCREAMING)

Gravity systems are failing.

Hold on! Hold on!

(GRUNTING)

(CREW SCREAMING)

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE:

Attention, all decks.

Evacuation protocols initiated.

- (WOMAN SCREAMING)

- Proceed to exit bays

- and report to your assigned shuttle.

- (PANTING)

SCOTTY:
There won't be time

for evacuation

if we don't get power

to stabilize the damn ship!

- Can we restore it?

- Only from engineering.

We have to get back to the warp core.

- Attention all decks.

- (CREW SCREAMING)

Jim?

KIRK:
Scotty, we got to get

the power back on! Come on!
