1
00:00:11,574 --> 00:00:13,199
Captain.

2
00:00:13,868 --> 00:00:15,861
- Got a minute?
- A minute.

3
00:00:16,288 --> 00:00:19,123
It's Spock. You noticed
anything strange about him?

4
00:00:19,291 --> 00:00:21,616
No, nothing in particular. Why?

5
00:00:21,794 --> 00:00:24,997
Well, it's nothing I can pinpoint
without an examination,

6
00:00:25,173 --> 00:00:26,881
but he's become increasingly restive.

7
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:30,300
If he were not a Vulcan,
I'd almost say "nervous."

8
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:32,130
For another thing, he's avoiding food.

9
00:00:32,305 --> 00:00:34,879
I've checked and he hasn't
eaten at all in three days.

10
00:00:35,059 --> 00:00:39,057
Well, that just sounds like Mr. Spock
in one of his contemplative phases.

11
00:00:40,690 --> 00:00:42,101
Miss Chapel.

12
00:00:44,569 --> 00:00:47,107
- Dr. McCoy.
- Captain.

13
00:00:48,198 --> 00:00:49,229
What's this?

14
00:00:52,286 --> 00:00:55,490
Vulcan plomeek soup.
And I'll bet you made it too.

15
00:00:55,665 --> 00:00:57,954
You never give up hoping, do you?

16
00:00:58,752 --> 00:01:03,497
Mr. Spock hasn't been eating, Doctor.
And I just happened to notice.

17
00:01:03,715 --> 00:01:06,420
It's all right. Carry on, Miss Chapel.

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,095
- Bones, I'm a busy man.
- Jim,

19
00:01:14,269 --> 00:01:17,389
when I suggested to Spock
it was time for his routine checkup

20
00:01:17,564 --> 00:01:21,977
your logical, unemotional first officer
turned to me and said:

21
00:01:22,153 --> 00:01:25,439
"You will cease to pry
into my personal matters, Doctor,

22
00:01:25,615 --> 00:01:28,071
or I shall certainly break your neck."

23
00:01:28,243 --> 00:01:29,274
Spock said that?

24
00:01:29,452 --> 00:01:31,196
What is this?

25
00:01:32,623 --> 00:01:36,324
Poking. Prying. If I want
anything from you, I'll ask for it.

26
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:44,127
Captain, I should like to request a
leave of absence. On my home planet.

27
00:01:44,302 --> 00:01:48,680
On our present course, you can divert to
Vulcan with a loss of but 2.8 light-days.

28
00:01:49,516 --> 00:01:52,886
- What the devil is this all about?
- I've made my request, Captain.

29
00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:56,731
All I require from you
is that you answer it, yes or no.

31
00:02:13,168 --> 00:02:16,335
Space, the final frontier.

32
00:02:22,136 --> 00:02:25,885
These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

33
00:02:26,391 --> 00:02:30,436
Its five-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds,

34
00:02:30,604 --> 00:02:34,020
to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

35
00:02:34,525 --> 00:02:37,360
to boldly go where no man
has gone before.

36
00:03:20,826 --> 00:03:22,534
All right, Spock. Let's have it.

37
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:27,864
It is undignified for a woman to play
servant to a man who is not hers.

38
00:03:28,043 --> 00:03:30,249
I'm more interested
in your request for shore leave.

39
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:32,828
- In the years that I've known...
- You have my request.

40
00:03:33,006 --> 00:03:35,083
Will you grant it or not?

41
00:03:35,926 --> 00:03:40,755
In all the years I've known you, you've
never asked for leave of any sort.

42
00:03:40,932 --> 00:03:43,423
In fact, you've refused them.
Why now?

43
00:03:43,602 --> 00:03:47,469
Captain, surely I have
enough leave time accumulated.

44
00:03:47,648 --> 00:03:50,483
Agreed. But that isn't the question,
is it?

45
00:03:54,906 --> 00:03:57,397
If there's a problem of some sort,
illness in the family...

46
00:03:57,575 --> 00:03:58,738
No.

47
00:03:59,327 --> 00:04:01,285
Nothing of that nature, Captain.

48
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:04,207
Then since we're headed for Altair VI,

49
00:04:04,375 --> 00:04:06,664
and since the shore facilities
there are excellent...

50
00:04:06,836 --> 00:04:08,663
No. I must...

51
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:15,632
I wish to take my leave on Vulcan.

52
00:04:26,775 --> 00:04:29,978
Spock, I'm asking you.

53
00:04:30,821 --> 00:04:32,149
What's wrong?

54
00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:35,618
I need rest.

55
00:04:37,203 --> 00:04:41,071
I'm asking you to accept that answer.

56
00:04:47,464 --> 00:04:48,875
Bridge.

57
00:04:49,049 --> 00:04:51,505
- Helm.
- Yes, Captain?

58
00:04:52,887 --> 00:04:54,298
Alter course to Vulcan.

59
00:04:54,472 --> 00:04:57,592
- Increase speed to warp 4.
- Aye, sir.

60
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:04,679
Thank you, Captain.

61
00:05:07,069 --> 00:05:11,815
I suppose most of us overlook the fact
that even Vulcans aren't indestructible.

62
00:05:16,205 --> 00:05:18,079
No.

63
00:05:24,631 --> 00:05:26,422
We're not.

64
00:05:27,509 --> 00:05:31,377
Captain's Log, Stardate 3372.7.

65
00:05:31,555 --> 00:05:36,716
On course, on schedule,
bound for Altair VI via Vulcan.

66
00:05:36,894 --> 00:05:39,682
First Officer Spock
seems to be under stress.

67
00:05:39,856 --> 00:05:42,525
He has requested
and been granted shore leave.

68
00:05:42,734 --> 00:05:45,569
Ship's Surgeon McCoy
has him under medical surveillance.

69
00:05:45,737 --> 00:05:49,736
Captain, something's coming in
on the Starfleet channel.

70
00:05:50,242 --> 00:05:51,523
Priority and urgent, sir.

71
00:05:51,702 --> 00:05:54,372
Put it on audio over here, Lieutenant.

72
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:58,703
Message complete, sir.
Switching over.

73
00:05:59,503 --> 00:06:03,880
To Captain, U.S.S. Enterprise.
From Starfleet, Sector 9.

74
00:06:04,049 --> 00:06:08,344
Inauguration ceremonies Altair VI
have been advanced seven solar days.

75
00:06:08,513 --> 00:06:11,763
You're ordered to alter your flight plan
as filed to accommodate.

76
00:06:11,933 --> 00:06:14,603
By order of Komack,
Admiral, Starfleet Command.

77
00:06:14,770 --> 00:06:16,098
Acknowledge.

78
00:06:16,271 --> 00:06:17,896
Lieutenant Uhura,
acknowledge that message.

79
00:06:18,065 --> 00:06:19,096
Aye aye, sir.

80
00:06:19,275 --> 00:06:22,478
Mr. Chekov, compute course
and speed necessary for compliance.

81
00:06:22,653 --> 00:06:27,115
We'll have to head directly there
at warp 6, sir.

82
00:06:27,409 --> 00:06:29,532
Insufficient time to stop off at Vulcan.

83
00:06:32,206 --> 00:06:34,448
Head directly for Altair VI.

84
00:06:34,625 --> 00:06:35,954
Sailor's luck, Mr. Spock.

85
00:06:36,127 --> 00:06:38,167
Or, as one of Finagle's Laws puts it:

86
00:06:38,338 --> 00:06:41,707
"Any home port the ship makes
will be somebody else's, not mine."

87
00:06:41,883 --> 00:06:45,050
The new President of Altair VI wants
to get himself launched a week early,

88
00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:47,794
so we have to be there a week early.

89
00:06:48,224 --> 00:06:50,762
Don't worry,
I'll see that you get your leave,

90
00:06:50,935 --> 00:06:52,892
as soon as we're finished.

91
00:06:54,063 --> 00:06:57,433
I quite understand, Captain.

92
00:07:14,294 --> 00:07:17,165
- Bridge, Navigation.
- Navigation, Chekov here.

93
00:07:17,339 --> 00:07:20,922
Mr. Chekov, how late will we arrive
for the ceremonies

94
00:07:21,093 --> 00:07:23,667
if we increase speed to maximum
and divert to Vulcan

95
00:07:23,847 --> 00:07:26,089
just long enough to drop off
Mr. Spock?

96
00:07:26,266 --> 00:07:28,009
I do not understand, Captain.

97
00:07:28,185 --> 00:07:30,593
How far behind schedule
will diverting to Vulcan put us?

98
00:07:31,105 --> 00:07:35,103
We're on course for Vulcan, Captain,
as Mr. Spock ordered.

99
00:07:36,611 --> 00:07:39,184
Thank you, Mr. Chekov. Kirk out.

100
00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:45,487
Mr. Spock.

101
00:07:49,542 --> 00:07:51,618
Come with me, please.

102
00:08:04,141 --> 00:08:06,134
Deck 5.

103
00:08:08,396 --> 00:08:11,600
You changed course for Vulcan,
Mr. Spock. Why?

104
00:08:11,775 --> 00:08:13,732
Changed the course?

105
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:16,524
Do you deny it?

106
00:08:16,906 --> 00:08:19,658
No. By no means, Captain.

107
00:08:21,494 --> 00:08:23,783
It is quite possible.

108
00:08:23,955 --> 00:08:27,787
- Then why did you do it?
- Captain, I accept, on your word...

109
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:29,454
...that I did it.

110
00:08:29,628 --> 00:08:32,914
But I do not know why,
nor do I remember doing it.

111
00:08:35,051 --> 00:08:36,878
Captain, lock me away.

112
00:08:37,053 --> 00:08:39,378
I do not wish to be seen.

113
00:08:39,556 --> 00:08:44,099
I cannot.
No Vulcan could explain further.

114
00:08:45,479 --> 00:08:47,187
I'm trying to help you, Spock.

115
00:08:47,356 --> 00:08:50,061
Ask me no further questions.
I will not answer.

116
00:08:53,947 --> 00:08:57,648
- I order you to report to the Sickbay.
- Sickbay?

117
00:08:58,035 --> 00:09:00,277
Complete examination.
McCoy's waiting.

118
00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:36,826
Come in, Spock. I'm all ready for you.

119
00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:43,042
My orders were
to report to Sickbay, Doctor.

120
00:09:43,210 --> 00:09:45,037
I have done so.

121
00:09:45,212 --> 00:09:47,750
And now I'll go to my quarters.

122
00:09:47,923 --> 00:09:50,296
My orders were to give you
a thorough physical.

123
00:09:50,468 --> 00:09:51,499
In case you hadn't noticed,

124
00:09:51,678 --> 00:09:55,343
I have to answer to the same
commanding officer that you do.

125
00:09:59,812 --> 00:10:01,520
Come on, Spock.

126
00:10:01,689 --> 00:10:04,725
Yield to the logic of the situation.

127
00:10:06,653 --> 00:10:08,527
Very well.

128
00:10:09,447 --> 00:10:13,611
Examine me,
for all the good it will do either of us.

129
00:10:24,631 --> 00:10:26,291
How do you figure it, Chekov?

130
00:10:26,466 --> 00:10:29,503
First we're going to Vulcan.
Then we're going to Altair.

131
00:10:29,678 --> 00:10:33,676
Then we're headed to Vulcan again.
Now we're headed back to Altair.

132
00:10:33,849 --> 00:10:36,555
I think I'm going to get space-sick.

133
00:10:39,397 --> 00:10:41,390
Jim, you've got to get Spock
to Vulcan.

134
00:10:41,566 --> 00:10:44,022
Bones, I will, I will.
As soon as this mission is completed.

135
00:10:44,194 --> 00:10:47,445
No, now. Right away. If you don't get
him to Vulcan within a week,

136
00:10:47,615 --> 00:10:51,031
eight days at the outside, he'll die.

137
00:10:52,579 --> 00:10:53,859
He'll die, Jim.

138
00:11:04,258 --> 00:11:05,966
Why...

139
00:11:06,719 --> 00:11:10,765
...must he die?
Why within eight days? Explain.

140
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,763
I don't know.

141
00:11:15,479 --> 00:11:18,017
You keep saying that.
Are you a doctor or aren't you?

142
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,934
There's a growing imbalance
of body functions.

143
00:11:22,779 --> 00:11:25,151
As if in our bodies,
huge amounts of adrenaline

144
00:11:25,323 --> 00:11:28,740
were constantly being pumped
into our bloodstreams.

145
00:11:28,911 --> 00:11:31,319
Now, I can't trace it down
in my bio-comps.

146
00:11:31,497 --> 00:11:33,620
Spock won't tell me what it is.

147
00:11:33,916 --> 00:11:36,039
But if it isn't stopped somehow,

148
00:11:36,294 --> 00:11:40,209
the physical and emotional pressures
will simply kill him.

149
00:11:45,721 --> 00:11:48,259
You say you're convinced
he knows what it is?

150
00:11:48,432 --> 00:11:49,975
He does.

151
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:54,223
And he's as tightlipped about it
as an Aldebaran shellmouth.

152
00:11:55,941 --> 00:11:59,025
No use to ask him, Jim. He won't talk.

153
00:12:11,208 --> 00:12:12,239
Come.

154
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:15,579
Stay.

155
00:12:18,257 --> 00:12:21,175
McCoy has given me his
medical evaluation of your condition.

156
00:12:21,344 --> 00:12:25,010
He says you're going to die
unless something is done.

157
00:12:25,682 --> 00:12:27,011
What?

158
00:12:30,521 --> 00:12:32,810
Is it something only your planet
can do for you?

159
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:35,479
Spock.

160
00:12:41,909 --> 00:12:44,151
You've been called
the best first officer in the Fleet.

161
00:12:46,163 --> 00:12:49,200
That's an enormous asset to me.

162
00:12:49,917 --> 00:12:52,670
If I have to lose that first officer,
I want to know why.

163
00:13:02,056 --> 00:13:05,057
It's a thing no outworlder may know...

164
00:13:05,226 --> 00:13:08,642
...except those very few
who've been involved.

165
00:13:10,899 --> 00:13:16,440
A Vulcan understands, but even we
do not speak of it among ourselves.

166
00:13:16,906 --> 00:13:20,524
It is a deeply personal thing.

167
00:13:21,077 --> 00:13:24,778
Can you see that, Captain,
and understand?

168
00:13:24,956 --> 00:13:27,080
No, I do not understand. Explain.

169
00:13:27,251 --> 00:13:28,626
Consider that an order.

170
00:13:31,047 --> 00:13:35,045
There are some things which transcend
even the discipline of the service.

171
00:13:43,727 --> 00:13:47,428
Would it help if I told you
that I'll treat this

172
00:13:47,607 --> 00:13:50,312
as totally confidential?

173
00:13:59,912 --> 00:14:03,862
It has to do with biology.

174
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:08,959
- What?
- Biology.

175
00:14:14,386 --> 00:14:17,304
- What kind of biology?
- Vulcan biology.

176
00:14:17,473 --> 00:14:21,554
You mean, the biology of Vulcans?

177
00:14:22,312 --> 00:14:26,262
Biology as in reproduction?

178
00:14:28,777 --> 00:14:30,687
Well...

179
00:14:32,198 --> 00:14:34,487
...there's no need
to be embarrassed about it, Mr. Spock.

180
00:14:34,659 --> 00:14:36,153
It happens to the birds and bees.

181
00:14:36,328 --> 00:14:41,073
The birds and the bees
are not Vulcans, Captain.

182
00:14:43,002 --> 00:14:44,413
If they were,

183
00:14:44,587 --> 00:14:47,208
if any creature
as proudly logical as us,

184
00:14:47,381 --> 00:14:49,421
were to have their logic

185
00:14:49,592 --> 00:14:53,922
ripped from them
as this time does to us...

186
00:14:59,812 --> 00:15:02,813
How do Vulcans
choose their mates?

187
00:15:02,982 --> 00:15:04,856
Haven't you wondered?

188
00:15:06,903 --> 00:15:10,486
I guess the rest of us assume
that it's done...

189
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:13,527
...quite logically.

190
00:15:23,004 --> 00:15:24,665
No.

191
00:15:25,132 --> 00:15:26,875
It is not.

192
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:31,712
We shield it with ritual...

193
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:34,891
...and customs shrouded in antiquity.

194
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,559
You humans have no conception.

195
00:15:41,275 --> 00:15:43,813
It strips our minds from us.

196
00:15:44,362 --> 00:15:46,604
It brings a madness which

197
00:15:46,781 --> 00:15:51,906
rips away our veneer of civilisation.

198
00:15:52,621 --> 00:15:55,575
It is the Pon farr.

199
00:15:56,709 --> 00:15:59,200
The time of mating.

200
00:16:07,721 --> 00:16:10,010
There are precedents in nature,
Captain.

201
00:16:10,432 --> 00:16:12,923
The giant eel-birds of Regulus V,

202
00:16:13,102 --> 00:16:18,726
once each 11 years they must return
to the caverns where they hatched.

203
00:16:19,108 --> 00:16:21,944
On your Earth, salmon.

204
00:16:22,362 --> 00:16:25,613
They must return to that one stream

205
00:16:25,783 --> 00:16:30,326
where they were born
to spawn.

206
00:16:31,247 --> 00:16:33,287
Or die in trying.

207
00:16:36,002 --> 00:16:37,662
But you're not a fish, Mr. Spock.
You're...

208
00:16:37,838 --> 00:16:41,289
No, nor am I a man.

209
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,460
I'm a Vulcan.

210
00:16:45,763 --> 00:16:48,089
I had hoped I would be spared this...

211
00:16:48,266 --> 00:16:51,053
...but the ancient drives
are too strong.

212
00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:53,980
Eventually they catch up with us.

213
00:16:54,481 --> 00:16:57,933
And we are driven by forces
we cannot control...

214
00:16:58,611 --> 00:17:00,936
...to return home...

215
00:17:01,489 --> 00:17:03,778
...and take a wife...

216
00:17:04,826 --> 00:17:06,320
...or die.

217
00:17:20,552 --> 00:17:23,589
I haven't heard a word you've said.

218
00:17:23,764 --> 00:17:25,507
And...

219
00:17:27,142 --> 00:17:30,559
I'll get you to Vulcan. Somehow.

220
00:17:35,485 --> 00:17:38,356
Lieutenant, get me Admiral Komack
at Starfleet Command, Sector 9.

221
00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:40,440
Pipe it down to McCoy's office.

222
00:17:40,616 --> 00:17:42,692
Starfleet Command. Yes, sir.

223
00:17:43,035 --> 00:17:46,618
Mr. Sulu, you don't think...

224
00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:51,203
Maybe you ought to plot a course
back to Vulcan, just in case.

225
00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,464
Communication to Mr. Spock.
Lieutenant Uhura here.

226
00:17:59,637 --> 00:18:01,429
Captain asked me
to inform you he is...

227
00:18:01,597 --> 00:18:04,053
Let me alone!

228
00:18:04,893 --> 00:18:07,728
Captain, you're making
a most unusual request.

229
00:18:07,896 --> 00:18:10,222
I'm aware of that, sir.
But it's of the utmost importance.

230
00:18:10,399 --> 00:18:12,855
You must give me permission
to divert to Vulcan.

231
00:18:13,027 --> 00:18:15,649
But you refuse to explain
why it is so important.

232
00:18:16,406 --> 00:18:17,568
I can't, sir.

233
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:19,947
But believe me,
I wouldn't make such a request...

234
00:18:20,118 --> 00:18:22,823
The Altair VI is no ordinary matter.

235
00:18:22,996 --> 00:18:27,244
That area is just putting itself together
after a long interplanetary conflict.

236
00:18:27,418 --> 00:18:30,585
This inauguration will stabilise
the entire Altair system.

237
00:18:30,922 --> 00:18:34,089
Our appearance there is a
demonstration of friendship

238
00:18:34,259 --> 00:18:37,545
and strength which will cause ripples
clear to the Klingon Empire.

239
00:18:37,804 --> 00:18:39,347
Sir...

240
00:18:39,515 --> 00:18:43,465
...the delay would be at most a day.
I can hardly believe...

241
00:18:43,644 --> 00:18:45,767
Kirk, you will proceed to
Altair VI as ordered.

242
00:18:45,938 --> 00:18:48,856
The subject is closed.
You have your orders. Starfleet out.

243
00:18:49,526 --> 00:18:53,606
- Well, that's that.
- No, it's not.

244
00:18:53,781 --> 00:18:56,070
I know the Altair situation.

245
00:18:56,408 --> 00:18:59,860
We would be one of three starships.
Very impressive, very diplomatic.

246
00:19:00,037 --> 00:19:01,200
It's simply not that vital.

247
00:19:01,372 --> 00:19:04,706
You can't go off to Vulcan against
Starfleet orders. You'll be busted...

248
00:19:04,876 --> 00:19:07,249
I can't let Spock die, can I, Bones?

249
00:19:07,963 --> 00:19:10,834
And he will if we go to Altair.

250
00:19:11,926 --> 00:19:15,840
I owe him my life a dozen times over.
Isn't that worth a career?

251
00:19:18,516 --> 00:19:20,556
He's my friend.

252
00:19:22,271 --> 00:19:25,521
- Bridge. Navigation.
- Bridge. Navigation.

253
00:19:25,774 --> 00:19:27,566
Mr. Chekov...

254
00:19:28,486 --> 00:19:32,733
...lay in a course for Vulcan. Tell
Engineering I want warp 8 or better.

255
00:19:32,907 --> 00:19:34,568
Push her for all she'll take.

256
00:19:34,743 --> 00:19:36,949
Course already plotted. Laying it in, sir.

257
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:42,993
I see. Very well.
Carry on, Mr. Chekov. Kirk out.

258
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,858
Miss Chapel?

259
00:20:08,947 --> 00:20:10,987
Yes, Mr. Spock?

260
00:20:13,536 --> 00:20:15,196
I had...

261
00:20:15,371 --> 00:20:17,993
...a most startling dream.

262
00:20:18,541 --> 00:20:20,534
You were trying to tell me something...

263
00:20:21,753 --> 00:20:23,212
...but I couldn't hear you.

264
00:20:30,972 --> 00:20:34,970
It would be illogical for us to protest...

265
00:20:35,143 --> 00:20:37,302
...against our natures...

266
00:20:38,063 --> 00:20:39,973
...don't you think?

267
00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:42,355
I don't understand.

268
00:20:47,073 --> 00:20:48,568
Your face is wet.

269
00:20:48,742 --> 00:20:52,158
I came to tell you
that we are bound for Vulcan.

270
00:20:52,663 --> 00:20:55,119
We'll be there in just a few days.

271
00:20:59,796 --> 00:21:00,958
Vulcan.

272
00:21:03,216 --> 00:21:06,917
- Miss Chapel.
- My name is Christine.

273
00:21:07,471 --> 00:21:10,093
Yes, I know, Christine.

274
00:21:11,934 --> 00:21:15,979
Would you make me
some of that plomeek soup?

275
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:22,231
Oh, I'd be very glad to do that,
Mr. Spock.

276
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:44,254
Bridge.

277
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:47,050
It's obvious that
you've surmised my problem, Doctor,

278
00:21:47,223 --> 00:21:49,975
and my compliments on your insight.

279
00:21:50,143 --> 00:21:54,936
Captain, there is a thing that happens
to Vulcans at this time,

280
00:21:55,107 --> 00:21:58,358
almost an insanity, which you would
no doubt find distasteful.

281
00:21:58,569 --> 00:21:59,815
Will I?

282
00:21:59,988 --> 00:22:02,443
You've been most patient
with my kinds of madness.

283
00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:07,828
Then would you beam down to the
planet surface and stand with me?

284
00:22:07,997 --> 00:22:09,407
There is a brief ceremony.

285
00:22:09,832 --> 00:22:12,703
- Is it permitted?
- It is my right.

286
00:22:12,877 --> 00:22:16,329
By tradition, the male is accompanied
by his closest friends.

287
00:22:17,924 --> 00:22:19,169
Thank you, Mr. Spock.

288
00:22:21,178 --> 00:22:25,508
I also request McCoy accompany me.

289
00:22:25,891 --> 00:22:28,264
I shall be honoured, sir.

290
00:22:29,103 --> 00:22:30,728
Captain...

291
00:22:31,189 --> 00:22:33,763
...we're standing by
on Vulcan hailing frequencies, sir.

292
00:22:33,942 --> 00:22:36,018
Open channel, Lieutenant.

293
00:22:36,779 --> 00:22:39,151
Vulcan Space Central,
this is the U.S.S. Enterprise

294
00:22:39,323 --> 00:22:41,945
requesting permission
to assume standard orbit.

295
00:22:42,118 --> 00:22:45,950
U.S.S. Enterprise from Vulcan Space
Central, permission granted.

296
00:22:46,122 --> 00:22:48,958
And from all of Vulcan, welcome.

297
00:22:49,126 --> 00:22:52,376
- Is Commander Spock with you?
- This is Spock.

298
00:22:52,546 --> 00:22:56,046
Stand by to activate
your central viewer, please.

299
00:22:58,803 --> 00:23:01,129
Doctor, what's going on?

300
00:23:06,103 --> 00:23:07,811
Spock.

301
00:23:08,188 --> 00:23:09,980
It is I.

302
00:23:10,524 --> 00:23:12,316
T'Pring.

303
00:23:12,485 --> 00:23:15,901
Parted from me and never parted.

304
00:23:16,072 --> 00:23:18,742
Never and always touching...

305
00:23:18,909 --> 00:23:20,902
...and touched.

306
00:23:21,078 --> 00:23:23,747
We meet at the appointed place.

307
00:23:24,582 --> 00:23:30,087
Spock.
Parted from me and never parted.

308
00:23:30,380 --> 00:23:34,959
Never and always touching
and touched.

309
00:23:35,427 --> 00:23:37,087
I await you.

310
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:43,434
- She's lovely, Mr. Spock. Who is she?
- She is T'Pring...

311
00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:45,385
...my wife.

312
00:24:35,494 --> 00:24:37,902
This is the land of my family.

313
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,956
It has been held by us
for more than 2000 Earth years.

314
00:24:43,837 --> 00:24:47,669
This is our place of Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

315
00:24:52,638 --> 00:24:55,343
He called it Koon-ut what?

316
00:24:55,516 --> 00:24:58,387
He described it to me as meaning
"marriage or challenge."

317
00:24:58,561 --> 00:25:03,603
In the distant past,
Vulcans killed to win their mates.

318
00:25:03,775 --> 00:25:06,895
And they still go mad at this time.

319
00:25:09,865 --> 00:25:13,365
Perhaps the price they pay for having
no emotions the rest of the time.

320
00:25:13,536 --> 00:25:17,071
Lovely. I wish the breeze were cooler.

321
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:19,787
Yeah. "Hot as Vulcan." Now
I understand what that phrase means.

322
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,869
The atmosphere is thinner than Earth.

323
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:29,299
I wonder when his T'Pring arrives?

324
00:25:34,726 --> 00:25:37,134
The marriage party approaches.

325
00:25:37,897 --> 00:25:39,391
I hear them.

326
00:25:39,565 --> 00:25:42,816
Marriage party?
You said T'Pring was your wife.

327
00:25:42,986 --> 00:25:45,192
By our parents' arrangement.

328
00:25:45,363 --> 00:25:47,190
A ceremony...

329
00:25:47,366 --> 00:25:50,236
...while we were but 7 years of age.

330
00:25:51,036 --> 00:25:55,366
Less than a marriage,
but more than a betrothal.

331
00:25:58,169 --> 00:25:59,747
One touches the other

332
00:25:59,921 --> 00:26:03,966
in order to feel each other's thoughts.

333
00:26:04,259 --> 00:26:08,838
In this way,
our minds were locked together.

334
00:26:09,015 --> 00:26:12,051
So that at the proper time...

335
00:26:12,268 --> 00:26:15,602
...we would both be drawn to...

336
00:26:15,772 --> 00:26:17,729
... Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

337
00:26:59,571 --> 00:27:02,608
Bones, do you know who that is?

338
00:27:11,334 --> 00:27:12,994
T'Pau.

339
00:27:13,753 --> 00:27:17,586
The only person to ever turn down
a seat in the Federation Council.

340
00:27:17,758 --> 00:27:19,549
T'Pau?

341
00:27:19,718 --> 00:27:22,007
Officiating at Spock's wedding?

342
00:27:22,179 --> 00:27:24,552
He never mentioned
that his family was this important.

343
00:28:11,568 --> 00:28:13,442
Spock...

344
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:17,565
...are our ceremonies for outworlders?

345
00:28:17,741 --> 00:28:20,493
They are not outworlders.

346
00:28:20,661 --> 00:28:22,072
They are my friends.

347
00:28:24,123 --> 00:28:25,950
I am permitted this.

348
00:28:35,511 --> 00:28:37,504
This is Kirk.

349
00:28:38,014 --> 00:28:39,389
Ma'am.

350
00:28:43,853 --> 00:28:47,389
- And thee are called?
- Leonard McCoy, ma'am.

351
00:28:48,942 --> 00:28:53,605
Thee names
these outworlders "friends."

352
00:28:54,282 --> 00:28:57,034
How does thee pledge their behaviour?

353
00:28:57,202 --> 00:28:58,945
With my life, T'Pau.

354
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:05,246
What thee are about to see...

355
00:29:06,295 --> 00:29:09,249
...comes down
from the time of the beginning...

356
00:29:09,632 --> 00:29:11,874
...without change.

357
00:29:12,218 --> 00:29:16,051
This is the Vulcan heart.
This is the Vulcan soul.

358
00:29:16,556 --> 00:29:18,715
This is our way.

359
00:30:16,707 --> 00:30:20,290
- What is it? What happened?
- She chooses the challenge.

360
00:30:21,212 --> 00:30:23,039
With him?

361
00:30:23,214 --> 00:30:26,085
He acts only if cowardice is seen.

362
00:30:28,512 --> 00:30:30,504
She will choose her champion.

363
00:30:34,810 --> 00:30:35,842
Spock?

364
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:38,476
Do not attempt to speak with him, Kirk.

365
00:30:39,899 --> 00:30:44,526
He is deep in the plak tow,
the blood fever.

366
00:30:45,322 --> 00:30:48,691
He will not speak with thee again

367
00:30:48,867 --> 00:30:52,818
until he has passed through
what is to come.

368
00:30:52,997 --> 00:30:55,915
If thee wishes to depart...

369
00:30:56,084 --> 00:30:57,709
...thee may leave now.

370
00:31:03,384 --> 00:31:04,629
We'll stay.

371
00:31:05,428 --> 00:31:08,631
Spock chose his friends well.

372
00:31:08,806 --> 00:31:10,087
Ma'am, I don't understand.

373
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:13,801
Are you trying to say that she rejected
him. That she doesn't want him?

374
00:31:13,979 --> 00:31:18,357
He will have to fight for her.
It is her right.

375
00:31:21,863 --> 00:31:24,532
T'Pring, thee has chosen
the kal-if-fee...

376
00:31:24,908 --> 00:31:26,450
...the challenge.

377
00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:30,486
Thee are prepared
to become the property of the victor?

378
00:31:30,831 --> 00:31:32,622
I am prepared.

379
00:31:37,922 --> 00:31:39,120
Spock.

380
00:31:39,299 --> 00:31:44,091
Does thee accept challenge,
according to our laws and customs?

381
00:31:58,904 --> 00:32:01,146
You think Spock can take him?

382
00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:06,865
I doubt it. Not in his present condition.

383
00:32:07,246 --> 00:32:11,079
T'Pring,
thee will choose thy champion.

384
00:32:18,175 --> 00:32:20,845
As it was in the dawn of our days,

385
00:32:21,012 --> 00:32:22,839
as it is today

386
00:32:23,014 --> 00:32:25,766
as it will be for all tomorrows,

387
00:32:25,934 --> 00:32:28,176
I make my choice.

388
00:32:32,691 --> 00:32:34,020
This one.

389
00:32:38,281 --> 00:32:40,024
No.

390
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:41,784
I am to be the one.

391
00:32:42,035 --> 00:32:44,075
- It was agreed.
- Be silent.

392
00:32:44,371 --> 00:32:46,079
Hear me.

393
00:32:46,248 --> 00:32:49,368
I have made the ancient claim.
I claim the right.

394
00:32:49,543 --> 00:32:51,038
The woman is...

395
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,634
I ask forgiveness.

396
00:33:02,224 --> 00:33:03,932
Kirk...

397
00:33:05,102 --> 00:33:09,729
...T'Pring is within her rights,
but our laws and customs...

398
00:33:09,899 --> 00:33:11,892
...are not binding on thee.

399
00:33:12,068 --> 00:33:14,476
Thee are free to decline...

400
00:33:14,655 --> 00:33:16,980
...with no harm on thyself.

401
00:33:34,385 --> 00:33:36,045
T'Pau.

402
00:33:36,220 --> 00:33:38,260
Thee speaks?

403
00:33:39,265 --> 00:33:41,092
My friend...

404
00:33:41,601 --> 00:33:43,760
...does not understand.

405
00:33:44,354 --> 00:33:46,727
The choice has been made, Spock.

406
00:33:46,899 --> 00:33:48,393
It is up to him now.

407
00:33:48,692 --> 00:33:51,445
He does not know.

408
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:57,320
I will do what I must, T'Pau.

409
00:33:57,786 --> 00:33:59,993
But not with him.

410
00:34:00,289 --> 00:34:04,239
His blood does not burn.

411
00:34:04,919 --> 00:34:06,199
He is my friend.

412
00:34:06,379 --> 00:34:10,958
It is said thy Vulcan blood is thin.

413
00:34:11,968 --> 00:34:16,049
Are thee Vulcan or are thee human?

414
00:34:17,766 --> 00:34:21,266
I burn, T'Pau.

415
00:34:21,646 --> 00:34:25,146
My eyes are flame.

416
00:34:25,525 --> 00:34:29,060
My heart is flame.

417
00:34:30,155 --> 00:34:33,738
Thee has the power, T'Pau.

418
00:34:34,285 --> 00:34:39,660
In the name of my fathers,
forbid.

419
00:34:43,629 --> 00:34:45,586
T'Pau.

420
00:34:46,423 --> 00:34:50,172
I plead with thee.

421
00:34:50,344 --> 00:34:51,969
I beg.

422
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,841
Thee has prided thyself
on thy Vulcan heritage.

423
00:34:59,897 --> 00:35:01,890
It is decided.

424
00:35:24,549 --> 00:35:29,342
- What happens to Spock if I decline?
- Another champion will be selected.

425
00:35:30,806 --> 00:35:35,267
Do not interfere, Kirk. Keep thy place.

426
00:35:42,778 --> 00:35:43,892
You can't do it, Jim.

427
00:35:44,071 --> 00:35:45,613
- I can't?
- No.

428
00:35:45,781 --> 00:35:48,948
She said that their laws and customs
were not binding on you.

429
00:35:49,118 --> 00:35:52,072
And you said Spock
might not be able to handle him.

430
00:35:52,247 --> 00:35:55,082
Now, if I can knock Spock out
without really hurting him.

431
00:35:55,250 --> 00:35:56,828
In this climate?

432
00:35:57,002 --> 00:36:00,252
If the heat doesn't get you,
the thin air will.

433
00:36:19,861 --> 00:36:21,403
You can't do it.

434
00:36:21,571 --> 00:36:24,145
If I get into any trouble, I'll quit.

435
00:36:24,324 --> 00:36:26,613
And Spock wins,
and honour is satisfied.

436
00:36:26,785 --> 00:36:28,944
- Jim, listen, if you...
- Bones.

437
00:36:29,121 --> 00:36:30,580
He's my first officer and my friend.

438
00:36:30,748 --> 00:36:33,500
I disregarded Starfleet orders
to bring him here.

439
00:36:35,128 --> 00:36:39,837
Another thing, that's T'Pau,
a Vulcan.

440
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:42,791
All of Vulcan in one package.

441
00:36:42,970 --> 00:36:45,805
How can I back out in front of her?

442
00:36:50,770 --> 00:36:51,849
It is done.

443
00:36:53,523 --> 00:36:56,311
Kirk, decide.

444
00:37:03,326 --> 00:37:06,777
I accept the challenge.

445
00:37:08,373 --> 00:37:11,160
Here begins the act of combat

446
00:37:11,335 --> 00:37:13,908
for possession of the woman T'Pring.

447
00:37:15,256 --> 00:37:20,630
As it was at the time of the beginning,
so it is now.

448
00:37:21,387 --> 00:37:23,261
Bring forth the lirpa.

449
00:37:47,208 --> 00:37:50,542
If both survive the lirpa...

450
00:37:51,004 --> 00:37:55,002
...combat will continue
with the ahn'woon.

451
00:37:55,175 --> 00:37:58,710
What do you mean, "if both survive"?

452
00:37:58,887 --> 00:38:01,889
This combat is to the death.

453
00:38:21,746 --> 00:38:24,154
Now, wait a minute, ma'am.

454
00:38:24,416 --> 00:38:26,409
Who said anything
about a fight to the death?

455
00:38:26,668 --> 00:38:29,788
These men are friends. To force them
to fight till one of them is killed...

456
00:38:29,964 --> 00:38:32,918
I can forgive such a display only once.

457
00:38:36,846 --> 00:38:40,263
Challenge was given
and lawfully accepted.

458
00:38:43,354 --> 00:38:44,516
It has begun.

459
00:38:45,731 --> 00:38:48,898
Let no one interfere.

460
00:40:03,651 --> 00:40:05,443
Spock, no!

461
00:40:19,210 --> 00:40:20,870
Is this Vulcan chivalry?

462
00:40:21,046 --> 00:40:23,667
The air is too hot and thin for Kirk.
He's not used to it.

463
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
The air is the air. What can be done?

464
00:40:31,724 --> 00:40:36,054
I can compensate for the atmosphere
and the temperature with this.

465
00:40:36,229 --> 00:40:38,388
At least it will give Kirk
a fighting chance.

466
00:40:39,024 --> 00:40:40,566
Thee may proceed.

467
00:40:52,539 --> 00:40:55,077
You're going to have to kill him, Jim.

468
00:40:55,250 --> 00:40:57,124
Kill Spock?

469
00:40:57,294 --> 00:41:00,461
That's not what we came to Vulcan for,
is it?

470
00:41:01,090 --> 00:41:02,466
What's that?

471
00:41:02,633 --> 00:41:06,252
It's a tri-ox compound.
It'll help you breathe.

472
00:41:06,763 --> 00:41:10,429
- Now be careful.
- Sound medical advice.

473
00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:17,315
The ahn'woon.

474
00:42:48,293 --> 00:42:51,128
Get your hands off of him, Spock.

475
00:42:55,259 --> 00:42:56,504
It's finished.

476
00:43:01,474 --> 00:43:03,016
He's dead.

477
00:43:13,279 --> 00:43:15,272
I grieve with thee.

478
00:43:20,328 --> 00:43:24,077
- McCoy to Enterprise.
- Enterprise. Lieutenant Uhura here.

479
00:43:24,625 --> 00:43:28,160
Have the Transporter Room stand by
to beam up the landing party.

480
00:43:39,516 --> 00:43:44,475
As strange as it may seem, Mr. Spock,
you're in command now.

481
00:43:45,398 --> 00:43:46,561
Any orders?

482
00:43:49,069 --> 00:43:50,527
Yes.

483
00:43:51,238 --> 00:43:54,441
I'll follow you up in a few minutes.

484
00:43:55,409 --> 00:43:57,734
You will instruct Mr. Chekov

485
00:43:57,912 --> 00:44:02,040
to plot a course
for the nearest star base...

486
00:44:03,001 --> 00:44:06,833
...where I must surrender myself
to the authorities.

487
00:44:19,144 --> 00:44:20,804
T'Pring.

488
00:44:22,147 --> 00:44:24,934
- Explain.
- Specify.

489
00:44:25,442 --> 00:44:26,985
Why the challenge.

490
00:44:27,153 --> 00:44:30,023
And why you chose my captain
as your champion.

491
00:44:30,907 --> 00:44:33,279
Stonn wanted me, I wanted him.

492
00:44:37,873 --> 00:44:41,823
I see no logic
in preferring Stonn over me.

493
00:44:43,337 --> 00:44:46,504
You have become much known
among our people, Spock.

494
00:44:46,674 --> 00:44:48,833
Almost a legend.

495
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:50,421
And as the years went by,

496
00:44:50,595 --> 00:44:54,344
I came to know that I did not want
to be the consort of a legend.

497
00:44:54,933 --> 00:44:59,311
But by the laws of our people, I could
only divorce you by the kal-if-fee.

498
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,897
There was also Stonn, who wanted
very much to be my consort,

499
00:45:03,068 --> 00:45:05,060
and I wanted him.

500
00:45:05,862 --> 00:45:08,235
If your captain were victor,
he would not want me

501
00:45:08,407 --> 00:45:10,316
and so I would have Stonn.

502
00:45:10,492 --> 00:45:13,613
If you were victor, you would free me
because I had dared to challenge

503
00:45:13,788 --> 00:45:16,196
and again I would have Stonn.

504
00:45:16,374 --> 00:45:19,874
But if you did not free me,
it would be the same.

505
00:45:20,045 --> 00:45:21,705
For you would be gone,

506
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,550
and I would have your name
and your property,

507
00:45:25,301 --> 00:45:27,507
and Stonn would still be there.

508
00:45:29,305 --> 00:45:31,132
Logical.

509
00:45:31,307 --> 00:45:33,300
Flawlessly logical.

510
00:45:35,395 --> 00:45:38,396
- I am honoured.
- Stonn.

511
00:45:41,068 --> 00:45:42,860
She is yours.

512
00:45:43,571 --> 00:45:48,032
After a time,
you may find that having...

513
00:45:48,201 --> 00:45:53,196
...is not so pleasing a thing after all
as wanting.

514
00:45:53,916 --> 00:45:56,324
It is not logical...

515
00:45:56,711 --> 00:45:58,454
...but it is often true.

516
00:46:01,758 --> 00:46:04,925
Spock here. Stand by to beam up.

517
00:46:15,315 --> 00:46:19,265
Live long, T'Pau, and prosper.

518
00:46:19,444 --> 00:46:22,362
Live long and prosper, Spock.

519
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:26,942
I shall do neither.

520
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:31,283
I have killed my captain
and my friend.

521
00:46:42,511 --> 00:46:44,754
Energize.

522
00:47:03,410 --> 00:47:07,028
Doctor, I shall be resigning my
commission immediately, of course.

523
00:47:07,206 --> 00:47:12,164
So I would appreciate
your making the final arrangements.

524
00:47:12,336 --> 00:47:14,828
- Spock, I...
- Doctor, please, let me finish.

525
00:47:15,173 --> 00:47:17,842
There can be no excuse
for the crime of which I am guilty.

526
00:47:18,009 --> 00:47:19,552
I intend to offer no defence.

527
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:23,219
Furthermore, I will order Mr. Scott to
take immediate command of this vessel.

528
00:47:23,390 --> 00:47:26,807
- Shouldn't you check with me first?
- Captain.

529
00:47:27,854 --> 00:47:29,597
Jim!

530
00:47:35,862 --> 00:47:39,861
I'm pleased to see you, Captain.

531
00:47:40,034 --> 00:47:43,569
You seem uninjured.

532
00:47:43,746 --> 00:47:46,202
I am at something of a loss
to understand it, however.

533
00:47:46,458 --> 00:47:47,738
Blame McCoy.

534
00:47:47,918 --> 00:47:50,456
That was no tri-ox compound
he shot me with.

535
00:47:50,712 --> 00:47:54,793
He slipped in a neural paralyzer.
Knocked me out. Simulated death.

536
00:47:55,301 --> 00:47:58,884
- Indeed.
- Nurse, would you mind, please?

537
00:48:06,063 --> 00:48:08,732
Spock, what happened down there?
The girl, the wedding?

538
00:48:08,899 --> 00:48:10,310
Oh, yes, the girl.

539
00:48:10,484 --> 00:48:13,521
Most interesting.
It must have been the combat.

540
00:48:13,696 --> 00:48:17,741
When I thought I had killed the Captain,
I found I'd lost all interest in T'Pring.

541
00:48:17,909 --> 00:48:20,317
The madness was gone.

542
00:48:22,748 --> 00:48:24,242
- Kirk here.
- Captain Kirk.

543
00:48:24,416 --> 00:48:26,872
Message from Starfleet Command.
Top priority.

544
00:48:29,088 --> 00:48:30,251
Relay it, Lieutenant.

545
00:48:31,174 --> 00:48:35,836
Response to T'Pau's request
for diversion of Enterprise to Vulcan

546
00:48:36,013 --> 00:48:39,678
hereby approved.
Any reasonable delay granted.

547
00:48:39,850 --> 00:48:42,935
Komack, Admiral, Starfleet Command.

548
00:48:43,104 --> 00:48:45,429
A little late,
but I'm glad they're seeing it our way.

549
00:48:45,607 --> 00:48:47,932
How about that T'Pau?
They couldn't turn her down.

550
00:48:48,109 --> 00:48:49,734
Mr. Chekov,

551
00:48:49,903 --> 00:48:54,649
lay in a course for Altair VI.
Leave orbit when ready. Kirk out.

552
00:48:54,825 --> 00:48:56,284
There's just one thing, Mr. Spock,

553
00:48:56,452 --> 00:48:58,279
you can't tell me
when you saw Jim alive,

554
00:48:58,454 --> 00:49:00,613
you weren't on the verge of giving
an emotional scene

555
00:49:00,790 --> 00:49:02,450
that would've brought the house down.

556
00:49:02,626 --> 00:49:04,784
Merely my quite logical relief

557
00:49:04,962 --> 00:49:07,583
that Starfleet had not lost
a highly proficient captain.

558
00:49:07,756 --> 00:49:10,461
- Yes, Mr. Spock. I understand.
- Thank you, Captain.

559
00:49:10,635 --> 00:49:13,304
Of course, Mr. Spock.
Your reaction was quite logical.

560
00:49:13,471 --> 00:49:15,179
Thank you, Doctor.

561
00:49:15,765 --> 00:49:17,924
In a pig's eye.

562
00:49:20,938 --> 00:49:23,511
Come on, Spock.
Let's go mind the store.

562
