watch now! detail...
sir. thank you. scotty. any news on the lexington? aye. her crew's been rescued.but they had to scuttle the ship. eight. eight starships left. studying an accretion disc canbe a dangerous business. got caught in the plasma jet. - well, at least there were no casualties.- aye, there were! the lexington. notify all adjacent civilizationsto avoid that system.
palmer:aye, sir. all right middle shift... that'll be all.you're officially relieved. good evening, mr. scott. so then he says, "it is unlikely that can befixed with standard procedure." well, good night. oh! eliza...? where do you think you're going? we're headed to the rec room. join us! my bed's calling me.
[laughter]my vodka martini's calling me. that's a powerful call to resist.we'll take a rain check? yeah, sure. have a good night. night. chekov:steady as she goes, sir. working double shiftsare we now, mr. chekov? sounds like somebodyreally wants some stripes. report.
hull breach, captain. forward deck four. hull breach? a meteoroid, captain. traveling atnear-light speed. that's impossible! secure the section. notify damage control teams. report on any casualties.
- what happened?- meteroid impact -- deck four! the navigational deflector shouldhave caught this, sir...! mr. desalle! some answers, please? scott here. glad i came down! my engineers on deck four report abreach over two meters wide. but they can't find it. find what? whatever made the blasted hole!there's nothing there! captain! reading additional damageon an internal bulkhead.
- deck four?- yes, sir. aft wall, section three. captain, now deck five isreporting a rupture. in the ceiling, sir! signal all decks:we've been boarded. uhura:all decks! intruder alert!repeat... we have an intruder on board! repeat... all decks! intruder alert!we have an intruder on board! [rumbling sounds] [clicking sounds]
[heavy fearful panting] space. the final frontier. these are the voyagesof the starship enterprise. its continuing mission:to explore strange new worlds. to seek out new life and new civilizations. to boldly gowhere no man has gone before. kirk:captain's log, stardate 6257.4 something or someonehas pierced our primary hull...
...and is making its waythrough the enterprise. captain. whatever it is hasdamaged a sufficient... ...number of conduits tocompromise our power grid. confirmed. engines are offline. taylor: [whispering]taylor to bridge. bridge...please answer! ensign.what is it? captain.
the intruder's in my cabin! on our way. sir! i believe i could assist... yes, sir. hello? cad, hold this position.dickerson, on point. - i'm sorry, sir.- what was it? what did you see? it was enormous. it was like... stone.
i... i threw that at it and it ran away. listen, you better get to sickbay. - let dr. mccoy give you a once over.- no, sir. i'm fine. - really, i'm just a bit scared.- right, of course. please find it. captain. in the corridor. - spock?- readings have disappeared, sir. fascinating. what are you?
can you understand me? kirk to transporter room. - wilson here, sir.- chief... how are you with intra-ship beaming? i'm a bit of an expert. good. the intruder is at my location. lock onto it and beamit out of here. captain, there's no readingfor me to lock onto. the alien must be generatingsome sort of sensor shroud.
sir? playing a hunch. no! ensign. you're supposed tobe off-duty right now. sorry, captain.i couldn't sleep. our visitor leavesa strong impression. yes, it does. bones? it's a rock.
we think the creature canhide from our scans. sometimes. i've been able to detect severalhearts beating at different rates. no lungs. very high salt levels...and that's it. there's just not enough data. i am perplexed by itsbiology as well. the exoskeleton isquite formidable. complex living polymer chains interwovenwith infrangible metals and minerals. i am not able to calculatehow it propels itself at... ...such high velocities,although obviously it does.
nor am i able determine how itsurvives the vacuum of space, but… but obviously it does. it could be a speciesof nomadic extremophile. extremophile? we have previously encountered cosmozoa. space-faring organisms that needno atmosphere to survive. gentlemen. we know it's here.the question now is "why." with lt. uhura's assistance, i haveattempted to tune the ship's... ...universal translators to compensate for thecreature's unusual vocalizations.
you're the first humanit encountered. it's all right. i'm sorry if i hurt you. what are you called? do you have a name? usdi. here. usdi. ask it why it brokeinto the ship. usdi, why'd you come here?
me. to. hurt. now what? spock, keep at it. whatever it is,it's trying to communicate with us. or it's trying to threaten us. - mr. sulu?- not another intruder, sir. more like a controlled shockwave.directed at the enterprise. that was strongerthan the last one. it's a two-component wave, sir. one penetrates,one reflects back.
echolocation.it's a form of echolocation, captain! someone is searchingfor something. lieutenant. can you calculatethe origin of the pulses? aye, sir. i should be ableto plot the source. captain, anothershockwave approaching. this one's different.significantly stronger! manuevering thrusters.hard to starboard. - it's too fast, sir!- more power to the forward shields. you disobedient little...!
- mr. spock?- your weapon. i'm in charge! you'll respect me! stop it! please stop!you're hurting him! see what you made me do?! commader spock, report. spock, answer me! is anyone elsefeeling... unusual? i feel... suspicion, sir.
- almost... paranoia.- yes. yes! fear. resentment. [intercom whistles] sickbay to bridge.captain, you better get down here. - what happened?- he's got broken ribs. a ruptured spleen. - least, i think it was his spleen.- i have no time for levity, doctor! neither do i! whatever those waves did to us it'saffecting spock a dozen times more.
the mesiofrontal cortex suppressesemotions in vulcans. his is working so hard, i'mafraid it's gonna burn up! captain... lock me up. i must be isolated. spock... - mccoy is trying to figure out...- no! i am very dangerous. far away...an agenda...
the rage you're experiencing...we're all feeling it. - the energy waves are somehow...- but with me... ...it reaches deeper. a part i share with no one.more than my human half. it is awakening aprimitive, savage side... ...of my vulcan mind. it is a darknessi cannot control. sulu:bridge to captain kirk! what?
another energy waveapproaching, captain. - readings are off the scale.- set forward shields to maximum. impact in 6 seconds! you must stop me. by any means necessary! i cannot controlwhat i will do. usdi dares to hide?! security to sickbay! spock!
captain? - put him in the brig.- jim! - you can't lock him up.- he asked for it! it's my ship. i decide thepunishment for insubordination. punishment?jim, he's not himself! and neither are you! put him in sickbay.double the restraints. and the next time... whether it's spock or that pathetic creature, or the ship's surgeon…
i decide.is that clear? very clear.sir! ow! you can't analyze atriaxilated signal like that! i'm sorry. if you aren't capable offollowing instructions... ...you don't belongin that uniform. you know... you shouldget that looked at. ya think?!
smith:pathetic. where's that... thing? well? sir, we've located the sourceof the waves. - it's a ship about 10,000 km...- a ship?! listen to me. the only thing that matters --the only thing -- is to find thatdelinquent little brat! get him off my bridge!
i don't wanna see his face.you're confined to quarters! kirk: ship-wide.palmer: sir? ship-wide! gladly! all hands, this is the captain. in case any of you are confused aboutyour duties, let me spell it out for you. there's an intruder aboard my ship. and finding him is the singularpriority above all else. he is undisciplined.
disobedient. all personnel are ordered to locateand apprehend this intruder. he thinks he's smarter than us. he's defying us! he needs to be taught a lesson. use all available force necessary. it's mckennah! i didn't know whoelse to call. i think he knowsthese waves.
he seems to be...he's more afraid each time one hits us. are you okay? you look like you'vebeen in a fight. oh...yeah... and i started it. he must have donesomething to deserve this! no! it's okay.it's okay. whatever these pulses are... it'smaking it impossible to think clearly! it's getting harder tomanage the anger.
maybe anger management'sthe wrong path. we can't stop the emotion.why even try? we've gotta targetthe action centers! but how? alpha-wave inducers! they're used for psychologicaltrauma. mccoy has a supply! we can't just march inthere and take them. leave mccoy to me. dammit, doctor!
what makes you think you can bargeinto my sickbay like you own... sarah. i need the mobilealpha-wave inducers. all of them. mr. scott? what do you thinkyou're doing? my orders were to searchthe ship for that creature! dunnah tell me howto do my job! - you want the engines fixed, or no?- the engines are expendable! is that so? let me showyou what's expendable!
[phaser fire] [imitating scott]you're goin' to tha brig! i thought nyota could be of helpspeaking with the alien. usdi. his name's usdi. i tried fine-tuning the translator...but he's not saying anything. - i think he's running from that ship.- so he came here seeking sanctuary? maybe we can give it to him! engineering! the waves dissipate asthey go through the enterprise. if we take the alien to...
er... "usdi"... to the aft section ...then the enemy vessel shouldhave a harder time locating him. - but even if we get him there...- we have to clear the engine room. i'll have to make some adjustments.tie into my linguistic matrix. how're we gonna get himall the way to engineering? i guess i better make friendswith the transporter chief. have you seen that creature? [bosun whistle] scott:emergency! we have awarp core coolant leak.
all personnel evacuateengineering deck! mr. scott is in the brig! meet me in the transporterroom in 5 minutes. repeat: coolant leak! all engineering personnelevacuate immediately! [scott's voice]repeat: coolant leak! i'm glad you're on our side. - dickerson, seal the doors.- sir! hey. it's okay.
well, look what we have here. step away fromthe console, chief. belay that order. i said "step away from the console"! sir, i don't... barbara...it's me. put the phaser down. he is gonna getwhat he deserves! why?
why? let me give you one of these... okay? trust me. [intercom whistle] kirk to smith. i wanna know whenthe transporter room's secure! smith! is thetransporter room secure?! it's secure now. it's okay. i'm here.
i understand, usdi. i understand. how is he? all right for now.what's the plan? - there!- no! captain...! chekov:bridge to captain kirk. bridge to captain kirk! go ahead bridge.
sir, the enemy vessel isclosing fast! but it's not a ship. pipe it down here. captain's log, supplemental. the enterprise isface-to-face with a being who... ...has been flooding theship with energy waves. and usdi --our stowaway -- -- would appear to bea member of its species. - spock?- captain.
what do weknow about it? definitely the same type oforganism as our visitor. obviously, proportionallymuch larger. like an adult to a child. shields at 80%. based on what we haveexperienced, captain... ...it is reasonable to assume thatthe creature is quite angry ...and wants usdi returned. welcome back, mr. scott.we need engines online.
captain. my behavior earlier… i'll fire you later.get to work. lieutenant, open a channel. - patch in the translator upgrades.- aye, sir. alien entity. this is captain james t. kirkof the united starship enterprise. discontinue your attackon our ship immediately. no reply on any frequency, sir. captain!
forward shields at 50%!phasers are out! navigation's offline! we cannot run. the logical decision is to release usdiinto the creature's custody. uhura:captain. we can't! the structure... the region on its back... seems to begenerating the waves. a logical assumption, captain. load photon torpedo tubes.target that region.
torpedoes armed and ready. fire! usdi. protect. no. you're safe here. me. must. protect. no. please don't go out there! please. please don't go. direct hit. the alien's bio-signsare fluctuating.
we appear tohave injured it. hostile is accelerating. it's on an intercept course, captain! that beast is gonna ram us! reload torpedoes. captain. the parent life-form will likelynot survive another torpedo impact. do we know it is his parent? it is. it's his father. where's usdi?
usdi has positioned himself directlybetween the enterprise... and his father. the creature has stopped. go to yellow alert. open a channel. unknown entity. surely you must know younearly died here today. we all did. you filled me -- you filledall of us -- with your anger. and for some reason, that angerwas directed at your child.
he was scared.he was hiding. and yet he still protected you. sulu:captain. they're moving off. uhura:where are they going? he saved hisfather's life today. only time will tell if thatwill make a difference. i believe i owe youa profound apology. well, there's a lot of thatgoing around right now.
i think everyone on this ship owes someone an apology. i forgive you. and i'm sorry for shooting you. but, it was the logical decisiongiven the circumstances. i must also confess to beingperhaps a bit -- frustrated -- with the inabilityto control my actions. well... that wasn't your fault, spock. mccoy will be sending me the billfor the wall in sickbay, i'm sure. he should be sending it to me.
something else, captain? speaking of "frustrating"... i've gotten so used to being ableto persuade with words... ...getting others to see things in a new and different way... give a rousing speech. and it was frustrating... not to be able to do thesame thing with usdi's father. did you genuinely expect youcould convince him to change... ...a deeply ingrained behaviorsimply with your words? well, now that youput it that way...
i don't know what i expected. but i didn'texpect silence. i wonder... what would it take tochange someone like that? in my conversationswith dr. mckennah... ...we have discussed the manydifferences between people. the multitude of paths thateveryone walks through life... some easy, some difficult. and a re-occurringobservation has been this:
one is much more able to lead anotherdown an unfamiliar path... ...when one has already beendown that path oneself. chekov:bridge to mr. spock. spock here. sir, i've been conducting scansand i think i've found something. transfer it to this computer. chekov:aye, sir. captain.you might like to see this. smith:i just wanted to tellyou both... i'm sorry.
i just apologizedto dr. mccoy myself. it's okay.it wasn't you. it's not hard for rage totake control of good people. how about that drink wepromised ourselves, huh? i'll catch up with you girls. at ease, ensign. we've analyzed thealiens' ion trail. seems they're in a cometcloud not far from here. spock.are you ready?
spock:we're within range of thecomet cloud now, captain. very good. lieutenant,open a channel. patch in the ship'stranslators to this comm. uhura:aye, sir. i wasn't able to reach him. perhaps you can. i don't know what your name is. mine's eliza.
when your son came to us... i knew he chose me for a reason. but i didn't know why. now i know. your son loves youvery, very much. just like i loved my father. i know in my heart thatyou're not a monster. but every time you lash out inanger at your son, you become lessthe father he loves... and more themonster he fears.
please. please find away to heal yourself. because my fathernever did. father:heal. heal. love. change. for usdi. father:change. for usdi. maybe... change begins whensomeone reaches you. i'd say you reached him.
i hope so. for usdi. english subtitles by:peter goundrill
