Star Trek Continues (2013) - full transcript

The USS Enterprise's historic five-year mission continues with all new episodes of the original series. "Star Trek: Continues", a new Trek series, beams down with exciting adventures of the Federation's most heroic crew led by Captain James T. Kirk. The lighting and color of the highly accurate sets accentuate the equally detailed props and costumes, matching the original series that ran from 1966-69! With acting and stories that also replicate the original series, the adventures are sure to dazzle even the most die hard Trek fans. Witness now the untold morality plays that explore the final frontier and more importantly... the human condition. Fans of the original series will especially enjoy the pilot episode as a familiar guest star from the original series reprises his role in a sequel entitled "Pilgrim of Eternity".

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 can

be a dangerous business.

Got caught in the plasma jet.

- Well, at least there were no casualties.

- Aye, there were!

The Lexington.

Notify all adjacent civilizations

to 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 be

fixed 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 shifts

are we now, Mr. Chekov?

Sounds like somebody

really wants some stripes.

Report.

Hull breach, captain.

Forward deck four.

Hull breach?

A meteoroid, captain.

Traveling at

near-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 should

have caught this, sir...!

Mr. DeSalle! Some answers, please?

Scott here. Glad I came down!

My engineers on deck four report a

breach over two meters wide.

But they can't find it.

Find what?

Whatever made the blasted hole!

There's nothing there!

Captain! Reading additional damage

on an internal bulkhead.

- Deck four?

- Yes, sir.

Aft wall, section three.

Captain, now deck five is

reporting 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 voyages

of the Starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission:

To explore strange new worlds.

To seek out new life and new civilizations.

To boldly go

where no man has gone before.

KIRK:

Captain's log, stardate 6257.4

Something or someone

has pierced our primary hull...

...and is making its way

through the Enterprise.

Captain. Whatever IT is has

damaged a sufficient...

...number of conduits to

compromise 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 beam

it out of here.

Captain, there's no reading

for me to lock onto.

The alien must be generating

some sort of sensor shroud.

Sir?

Playing a hunch.

No!

Ensign. You're supposed to

be off-duty right now.

Sorry, captain.

I couldn't sleep.

Our visitor leaves

a strong impression.

Yes, it does.

Bones?

It's a rock.

We think the creature can

hide from our scans. Sometimes.

I've been able to detect several

hearts beating at different rates.

No lungs. Very high salt levels...

and that's it.

There's just not enough data.

I am perplexed by its

biology as well.

The exoskeleton is

quite formidable.

Complex living polymer chains interwoven

with infrangible metals and minerals.

I am not able to calculate

how it propels itself at...

...such high velocities,

although obviously it does.

Nor am I able determine how it

survives the vacuum of space, but...

But obviously it does.

It could be a species

of nomadic extremophile.

Extremophile?

We have previously encountered cosmozoa.

Space-faring organisms that need

no atmosphere to survive.

Gentlemen. We know it's here.

The question now is "why."

With Lt. Uhura's assistance, I have

attempted to tune the ship's...

...universal translators to compensate for the

creature's unusual vocalizations.

Sir?

You're the first human

it 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 broke

into 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 stronger

than 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 searching

for something.

Lieutenant. Can you calculate

the origin of the pulses?

Aye, sir. I should be able

to plot the source.

Captain, another

shockwave 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.

Sir?

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 else

feeling... 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's

affecting Spock a dozen times more.

The mesiofrontal cortex suppresses

emotions in Vulcans.

His is working so hard, I'm

afraid 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 a

primitive, savage side...

...of my Vulcan mind.

It is a darkness

I cannot control.

SULU:

Bridge to Captain Kirk!

What?

Another energy wave

approaching, 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 control

what 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 the

punishment 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 a

triaxilated signal like that!

I'm sorry.

If you aren't capable of

following instructions...

...you don't belong

in that uniform.

You know... you should

get that looked at.

Ya think?!

SMITH:

Pathetic.

Where's that... thing?

Well?

Sir, we've located the source

of 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 that

delinquent 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 about

your duties, let me spell it out for you.

There's an intruder aboard my ship.

And finding him is the singular

priority above all else.

He is undisciplined.

Disobedient.

All personnel are ordered to locate

and 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 who

else to call.

I think he knows

these waves.

He seems to be...

He's more afraid each time one hits us.

Are you okay?

You look like you've

been in a fight.

Oh...

Yeah...

And I started it.

He must have done

something to deserve this!

No! It's okay.

It's okay.

Whatever these pulses are... it's

making it impossible to think clearly!

It's getting harder to

manage the anger.

Maybe anger management's

the wrong path.

We can't stop the emotion.

Why even try?

We've gotta target

the action centers!

But how?

Alpha-wave inducers!

They're used for psychological

trauma. McCoy has a supply!

We can't just march in

there and take them.

Leave McCoy to me.

Dammit, doctor!

What makes you think you can barge

into my sickbay like you own...

Sarah. I need the mobile

alpha-wave inducers.

ALL of them.

Mr. Scott?

What do you think

you're doing?

My orders were to search

the ship for that creature!

Dunnah tell me how

to do my job!

- You want the engines fixed, or no?

- The engines are expendable!

Is that so? Let me show

you what's expendable!

[PHASER FIRE]

[IMITATING SCOTT]

You're goin' to tha brig!

I thought Nyota could be of help

speaking 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 as

they go through the Enterprise.

If we take the alien to...

Er... "Usdi"... to the aft section

...then the enemy vessel should

have 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 him

all the way to engineering?

I guess I better make friends

with the transporter chief.

Have you seen that creature?

[BOSUN WHISTLE]

SCOTT:

Emergency! We have a

warp core coolant leak.

All personnel evacuate

engineering deck!

Mr. Scott is in the brig!

Meet me in the transporter

room in 5 minutes.

Repeat: Coolant leak!

All engineering personnel

evacuate immediately!

[SCOTT'S VOICE]

Repeat: Coolant leak!

All engineering personnel

evacuate immediately!

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 from

the 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 get

what he deserves!

Why?

WHY?

Let me give you one of these...

Okay?

Trust me.

[INTERCOM WHISTLE]

Kirk to Smith. I wanna know when

the transporter room's secure!

Smith! Is the

transporter 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 is

closing fast!

But it's not a ship.

Pipe it down here.

Captain's log, supplemental.

The Enterprise is

face-to-face with a being who...

...has been flooding the

ship with energy waves.

And Usdi --

our stowaway --

- would appear to be

a member of its species.

- Spock?

- Captain.

What do we

know about it?

Definitely the same type of

organism as our visitor.

Obviously, proportionally

much larger.

Like an adult to a child.

Shields at 80%.

Based on what we have

experienced, captain...

...it is reasonable to assume that

the 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. Kirk

of the United Starship Enterprise.

Discontinue your attack

on 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 Usdi

into the creature's custody.

UHURA:

Captain. We can't!

The structure...

The region on its back... seems to be

generating 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-signs

are fluctuating.

We appear to

have 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 likely

not survive another torpedo impact.

Do we know it IS his parent?

It is.

It's his father.

Where's Usdi?

Captain!

Usdi has positioned himself directly

between the Enterprise... and his father.

The creature has stopped.

Go to yellow alert.

Open a channel.

Unknown entity.

Surely you must know you

nearly died here today.

We all did.

You filled me -- you filled

all of us -- with your anger.

And for some reason, that anger

was 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 his

father's life today.

Only time will tell if that

will make a difference.

Captain.

I believe I owe you

a profound apology.

Well, there's a lot of that

going around right now.

I think everyone on this ship

owes someone an apology.

I forgive you.

And I'm sorry for shooting you.

I forgive you.

But, it was the logical decision

given the circumstances.

I must also confess to being

perhaps a bit -- frustrated --

with the inability

to control my actions.

Well... that wasn't your fault, Spock.

McCoy will be sending me the bill

for the wall in sickbay, I'm sure.

He should be sending it to me.

Something else, captain?

Speaking of "frustrating"...

Sir?

I've gotten so used to being able

to 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 the

same thing with Usdi's father.

Did you genuinely expect you

could convince him to change...

...a deeply ingrained behavior

simply with your words?

Well, now that you

put it that way...

I don't know

what I expected.

But I didn't

expect silence.

I wonder...

What would it take to

change someone like that?

In my conversations

with Dr. McKennah...

...we have discussed the many

differences between people.

The multitude of paths that

everyone walks through life...

Some easy, some difficult.

And a re-occurring

observation has been this:

One is much more able to lead another

down an unfamiliar path...

...when one has already been

down that path oneself.

[INTERCOM WHISTLE]

CHEKOV:

Bridge to Mr. Spock.

Spock here.

Sir, I've been conducting scans

and I think I've found something.

Transfer it to this computer.

CHEKOV:

Aye, sir.

Captain.
