Synopsis: When the newly-christened starship Enterprise's shakedown cruise goes poorly, Captain Kirk and crew put her into Spacedock for repairs. But an urgent mission interrupts their Earth-bound shore leave. A renegade Vulcan named Sybok has taken three ambassadors hostage on Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace. This event also attracts the attention of a Klingon captain who wants to make a name for himself and sets out to pursue the Enterprise. Sybok's ragtag army captures the Enterprise and takes her on a journey to the center of the galaxy in search of the Supreme Being.

until l've determined

what it is we're dealing with.

Well, don't just stand there.

God's a busy man.

l am no longer in control of the craft.

All right. We'll play it your way.

Amazing.

The land. The sky.

Just as I knew it would be.

Scotty, you gotta see this.

l don't have the time.

The Captain told me

to get this transporter working,

and l'm not about to let him down.

We have travelled far

by starship.

Enterprise, this is Kirk.

We have a. . .

Sybok.

Perhaps. . .

Brave sous, wecome.

ls this the voice of God?

One voice, many faces.

Does this better suit your expectations?

It is I.

The journey you undertook to reach me

couId not have been an easy one.

lt was not. The Barrier stood

between us, but we breached it.

Magnificent.

You are the first to find me.

We sought only your infinite wisdom.

And how did you breach the Barrier?

With a starship.

This starship,

couId it carry my wisdom

beyond the Barrier?

lt could. Yes.

Then I shaII make use of this starship.

lt will be your chariot!

Excuse me.

It wiII carry my power

to every corner of creation.

Excuse me.

l'd just like to ask a question.

What does God need with a starship?

Bring the ship cIoser.

l said, what does God need

with a starship?

-Jim, what are you doing?

-l'm asking a question.

-Who is this creature?

-Who am l?

-Don't you know? Aren't you God?

-He has his doubts.

You doubt me?

l seek proof.

Jim, you don't ask the Almighty

for his lD.

Then here is the proof you seek.

-Why is God angry?

-Why?

-Why have you done this to my friend?

-He doubts me.

You have not answered his question.

What does God need with a starship?

Do you doubt me?

l doubt any God

who inflicts pain for his own pleasure.

Stop! The God of Sha'Ka'Ree

would not do this.

Sha'Ka'Ree?

A vision you created.

An eternity I've been imprisoned

in this pIace.

The ship.

I must have the ship.

Now, give me what I want.

Sybok, this is not

the God of Sha'Ka'Ree,

or any other God.

l don't understand.

Reveal yourself to me.

What's wrong? Don't you Iike this face?

I have so many.

But this one suits you best.

No, no, it's not possible.

Bring me the ship, or I wiII destroy you.

-The ship.

-Bring it cIoser,

so that I might join with it.

Do it,

or watch these puny things die horribIy.

-What have I done?

-Kirk to Enterprise. Listen carefully.

-Spock.

-Sybok.

This is my doing.

This is my arrogance, my vanity.

-Sybok, we must find a way. . .

-No! You must save yourselves.

Forgive me, brother. Forgive me.

-l couldn't help but notice your pain.

-My pain?

lt runs deep. Share it with me.

Enterprise, are you ready?

ln firing position. Torpedo armed.

But, Captain,

we're firing directly on your position.

Send it down, Mr Chekov. Now!

Run ! Go!

Sybok.

Let's get out of here.

Sulu, l've lost them.

Spock, get us out of here.

Thrusters are inoperative.

-Mr Scott.

-Scotty here, sir.

Please tell me

the transporter is working.

She's got partial power, sir.

l might be able to take two of you.

Beam up Spock and Dr McCoy. Now.

Now, just a damn minute.

Thank you, Mr Scott.

Bring up the Captain.

All right.

What about Jim?

We can't just leave him down there.

Please get a grip on yourself, Doctor.

Status report.

Klingon captain wishes

to name his terms, Mr Spock.

On screen.

This is Captain KIaa

of the KIingon Empire.

Attempt to raise shieIds

or arm weapons,

and I wiII destroy you.

You are aIive for a singIe reason.

The renegade James T. Kirk.

Hand him over,

and I wiII spare your Iives.

My transporter stands ready

to beam him aboard.

-Captain Kirk is not among us.

-You Iie.

l'm a Vulcan. l'm incapable of lying.

Captain Kirk is on the planet below.

Then give me his coordinates!

General, I am in need

of your assistance.

My assistance?

You are his superior officer.

-l am a foolish old man.

-Damn you, sir. You will try.

KIingon Commander,

someone wishes to speak with you.

So it's me you want,

you Klingon bastards.

What are you waiting for?

Release him !

Kirk, my junior officer has something

he wants to say to you.

l apologise.

The attack upon your vessel

was not authorised by my government.

Kirk, and now,

may I present our new gunner?

Spock?

Welcome aboard, Captain.

-l thought I was going to die.

-Not possible.

You were never alone.

Please, Captain,

not in front of the Klingons.

Would you care for a wee nip

of Scotch whisky?

l never thought l'd ever be drinking

with a Klingon.

What are you two conspiring about?

We were just saying how far we've

come in such a short space of time.

We certainly have.

She has wonderful muscles.

-Cosmic thoughts, gentlemen?

-We were speculating.

ls God really out there?

Maybe he's not out there, Bones.

Maybe he's right here.

Human heart.

-Spock?

-l was thinking of Sybok.

-l've lost a brother.

-Yes.

l lost a brother once.

l was lucky. I got him back.

l thought you said

men like us don't have families.

l was wrong.

Are you just gonna sit there

and pluck that thing,

or are you gonna play something?
