Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) - full transcript

Damn it, man! That was our ride!

You just stunned our ride!

Oh, great.

Run!

What the hell did you take?

I have no idea, but

they were bowing to it.

Kirk to shuttle one.

Locals are out of the kill zone.

You are clear. Repeat.

Spock, get in there, neutralize the

volcano and let's get out of here.

We have to do this now!

I told the captain

the shuttle wasn't built

for this kind of heat.

Captain, did the indigenous

life forms see you?

No, Mr. Spock, they did not.

The prime directive

clearly states

there can be no interference

with the internal development

of alien civilizations.

I know what it says!

Which is why I'm running

through the jungle

wearing a disguise!

Now drop off your super ice

cube and let's go! Kirk out!

You're good.

If we're gonna do this,

we've got to do it now!

This ash is killing our coils.

You sure you don't

want me to go instead?

That would be highly illogical

as I am already outfitted...

Spock, I was kidding.

You got this. Guys! We have to go!

Now!

They're trying to kill us!

They're trying to kill us, Jim!

I'll see you in 90 seconds.

Raising shield 2. Mark 7.

Do it, do it!

Prerequisite change, 2-7-3.

Reduce descent. I repeat...

I can't hold this position.

Spock, I've got to

pull you back up.

Negative. This is our only

chance to save this species.

If this volcano erupts,

the planet dies.

Pull him back up. Now!

Spock, are you okay?

I am,

surprisingly, alive. Stand by.

We have to get him back.

I'll suit up. I'm gonna go down.

We have to abandon the shuttle.

We can't just leave him, sulu!

We don't have a choice!

Uhura, I'm sorry.

Spock, we're going back

to the enterprise.

We'll get you out of there.

Captain, I'm ditching

the shuttle.

You've got to make it to the

enterprise on your own.

Wonderful!

Uhura! You ready to swim?

I'm ready.

Jim!

Jim! The beach is that way!

I know! We're not

going to the beach!

Oh, no, no, no!

I hate this!

I know you do!

Do you have any idea

how ridiculous it is

to hide a starship on the

bottom of the ocean?

We've been down here

since last night!

The salt water's

gonna ruin the...

Scotty! Where's Spock?

Still in the volcano, sir.

Captain on the bridge!

Lieutenant, do we have an

open channel to Mr. Spock?

The heat's frying his comms,

but we still have contact.

Spock?

I have activated the

device, captain.

When the countdown is complete,

the reaction should

render the volcano inert.

Yeah, and that's gonna

render him inert!

Negative, sir. Not with

these magnetic fields.

I need to beam Spock

back to the ship.

Give me one way to do it.

Uh, maybe if we had a

direct line of sight.

You're talking about

an active volcano!

Sir, if that thing erupts,

I cannot guarantee we

can withstand the heat!

I don't know that we can

maintain that kind of altitude.

Our shuttle was concealed

by the ash cloud,

but the enterprise is too large.

If utilized in a rescue effort,

it would be revealed to

the indigenous specie.

Spock, nobody knows the

rules better than you,

but there has got

to be an exception.

None. Such action violates

the prime directive.

Shut up, Spock! We're trying

to save you, damn it!

Doctor, the needs of the many

outweigh the needs of the few.

Spock, we're talking

about your life!

The rule cannot be broken...

Spock!

Try to get him back online.

Ninety seconds to detonations.

If Spock were here and I were

there, what would he do?

He'd let you die.

Spock!

You all right?

Captain, you let

them see our ship.

He's fine.

Bridge to captain Kirk.

Yes, lieutenant.

Is commander Spock

on board, sir?

Safely and soundly.

Please notify him

that his device

has successfully detonated.

You hear that?

Congratulations, Spock.

You just saved the world.

You violated the

prime directive.

Oh, come on, Spock. They saw us.

Big deal.

I can save her.

What did you say?

Your daughter.

I can save her.

Who are you?

Oh, Jim. Come on, let it go.

Jim!

You're not actually gonna

answer that, are you?

Spock, I'm telling you, this is

why he called. I can feel it.

Your feeling aside, I

consider it highly unlikely

that we Will be selected

for the new program.

Why else would Pike

want to see us?

Forget about seniority.

They gave us the newest

ship in the fleet.

I can think of numerous

possibilities.

A five-year mission, Spock!

That's deep space! That's

uncharted territory!

Think how incredible that's gonna be.

Hey, ladies. Jim Kirk.

"Uneventful." admiral?

It's the way you described the survey

of nibiru in your captain's log.

Uh, yes, sir, I didn't want to waste

your time going over the details.

Tell me more about this volcano.

Data says it was

highly volatile.

If it were to erupt, it

would wipe out the planet.

Let's hope it doesn't, sir.

Something tells me it won't.

Uh, well, sir, volatile

is all relative.

Maybe our data was off.

Or maybe it didn't erupt

because Mr. Spock detonated

a cold fusion device

inside it right after

a civilization

that's barely invented the wheel

happened to see a starship

rising out of their ocean!

That is pretty much how you

describe it, is it not?

Admiral... you filed a report?

Why didn't you tell me?

I incorrectly assumed that you would

be truthful in your captain's log.

Yeah, I would have been if I

didn't have to save your life,

and the very reason

I felt it necessary

to take responsibility

for the actions...

Take responsibility, yeah.

That'd be so noble, pointy,

if you weren't also

throwing me under the bus.

"Pointy"? Is that a

derogatory reference to...

Gentlemen.

Starfleet's mandate is to explore

and observe, not to interfere.

Had the mission gone

according to plan, admiral,

the indigenous

species would never

have been aware of

our interference.

That's a technicality.

I am vulcan, sir. We

embrace technicality.

Are you giving me

attitude, Spock?

I'm expressing multiple

attitudes simultaneously, sir.

To which are you referring?

Out.

You're dismissed, commander.

You have any idea what a

pain in the ass you are?

I think so, sir.

So tell me what you did wrong.

What's the lesson

to be learned here?

Never trust a vulcan.

Now, see, you can't even

answer the question. You lied.

On an official report, you lied.

You think the rules

don't apply to you

'cause you disagree with them.

That's why you talked me into

signing up in the first place.

It's why you gave me your ship.

I gave you my ship because

I saw a greatness in you.

And now, I see you haven't

got an ounce of humility.

What was I supposed

to do, let Spock die?

You're missing the point.

I don't think I am, sir.

What would you have done?

I wouldn't have risked

my first officer's life

in the first place!

You were supposed

to survey a planet,

not alter its destiny!

You violated a dozen

starfleet regulations

and almost got everyone

under your command killed.

Except I didn't!

You know how many crew

members I've lost? Not one!

That's your problem, you

think you're infallible!

You think you can't

make a mistake.

It's a pattern with you!

The rules are for other people!

Some should be.

And what's worse is

you using blind luck

to justify your playing god!

Given the circumstances,

this has been brought to

admiral Marcus's attention.

He convened a special tribunal,

to which I was not invited.

You understand what starfleet

regulations mandate

be done at this point.

They've taken the

enterprise away from you.

They're sending you

back to the academy.

Admiral, listen...

I understand regulation, but

every decision I've made...

No! I can't listen!

You don't comply with the rules,

you don't take

responsibility for anything,

and you don't respect the chair.

You know why?

Because you're not ready for it.

Blue security clearance now

permitted for airlock access.

I'm going to need

three titanium...

Radiation protection is

required in this area.

How did you find me?

I know you better

than you think I do.

The first time I found you

was in a dive like this.

Remember that? You got

your ass handed to you.

No, I didn't.

You don't? No, that's

not what happened.

That was an epic beating.

No, it wasn't.

You had napkins hanging

out of your nose.

Did you not?

Yeah, that was a good fight.

"A good fight."

I think that's your

problem right there.

They gave her back to me.

The enterprise.

Congratulations.

Watch your back with that

first officer, though.

Spock's not going to

be working with me.

He's been transferred.

U.s.s. Bradbury.

You're going to be

my first officer.

Yeah, Marcus took

some convincing.

But every now and then I

can make a good case.

What did you tell him?

The truth.

That I believe in you.

That if anybody deserves a

second chance, it's Jim Kirk.

I don't know what to say.

That is a first.

It's going to be okay, son.

"Emergency session, daystrom."

That's us.

Yeah.

Suit up.

All starfleet personnel,

please be advised,

- new security protocols are in effect.

- Captain.

Not anymore, Spock.

First officer.

I was demoted and you

were reassigned.

It is fortunate that

the consequences

were not more severe.

You've got to be kidding me.

Captain, it was never

my intention...

Not captain.

I saved your life, Spock.

You wrote a report,

I lost my ship.

Commander, I see now I

should have alerted you

to the fact that I

submitted the report.

No, I'm familiar

with your compulsion

to follow the rules. But

you see, I can't do that.

Where I come from, if

someone saves your life,

you don't stab him in the back.

Vulcans cannot lie.

Then I'm talking to the

half-human part of you.

All right?

Do you understand why

I went back for you?

Commander Spock? Frank Abbot, u.S.S.

Bradbury.

Guess you're with me.

Yes, captain.

The truth is

I'm going to miss you.

Admiral Marcus, sir.

Thank you for convening

on such short notice.

Be seated.

By now, some of you have heard

what happened in London.

The target was a

starfleet data archive.

Now it's a damned

hole in the ground,

42 men and women are dead.

One hour ago,

I received a message from

a starfleet officer,

who confessed to carrying

out this attack,

that he was being forced

to do it by this man,

commander John Harrison.

He's one of our own.

And he is the man responsible

for this act of savagery.

For reasons unknown, John

Harrison has just declared

a one-man war against starfleet.

And under no circumstances

are we to allow this man

to escape federation space.

You here tonight represent

the senior command

of all the vessels

in the region.

And in the name

of those we lost,

you Will run this bastard down.

This is a manhunt, pure and

simple, so let's get to work.

Earth's perimeter sensors

have not detected

any Warp signatures

leaving the system,

so we know he can't be far.

You Will park your ships

in a blockade formation

then deploy search vehicles

and landing parties

to run down every lead.

This man has shown willingness

to kill innocent people,

so the rules of

engagement are simple.

If you come across this man

and fear for your life

or the lives of those nearby,

you are authorized to use

deadly force on sight.

What's in the bag?

James, not now.

It doesn't seem odd to you

that he'd target an archive?

It's like bombing a library.

Chris? Everything okay there?

Yes, sir. Mr. Kirk

is just acclimating

to his new position

as first officer.

You got something to

say, Kirk, say it.

Tomorrow's too late.

I'm fine, sir. My apologies.

Spit it out, son. Don't be shy.

Why the archive?

All that information

is public record.

If he really wanted

to damage starfleet,

this could just

be the beginning.

The beginning of what, Mr. Kirk?

Sir, in the event of an

attack, protocol mandates

that senior command gather

captains and first officers

at starfleet h.Q., right here

- in this room.

- It is curious Harrison

would commandeer a jump ship

without Warp capabilities...

Clear the room!

No!

We need an air defense team!

Daystrom conference room!

- Let's go!

- Cover me!

- Target acquired.

- Take him out!

Watch my flank!

- Go, go, go!

- Cover me!

Fire!

Yeah?

Commander, Mr. Scott

has found something

in the wreckage of

Harrison's ship.

He has asked to see

us right away.

Captain! I found this in the

crashed jump ship, sir.

This is how the

bastard got away.

What do you mean?

It's a portable transwarp

beaming device.

Well, can you figure

out where he went?

I already did, sir. And

you're no gonna like it.

He's gone to the one place we...

We just can't go.

Admiral, sir, he's not on earth.

He's on kronos, sir.

I request my command

be reinstated

and your permission

to go after him.

Give us a minute.

Kronos. Yes, sir.

So Harrison's gone to

the klingon homeworld.

Is he defecting? Uh,

we're not sure, sir.

He has taken refuge in

the ketha province,

a region uninhabited

for decades.

He's gotta be hiding there, sir!

He knows if we even go

near klingon space,

it'd be all-out war.

Starfleet can't go

after him, but I can.

Please, sir.

All-out war with the klingons

is inevitable, Mr. Kirk.

If you ask me, it's

already begun.

Since we first learned

of their existence,

the klingon empire has

conquered and occupied

two planets that we know of

and fired on our ships

half a dozen times.

They are coming our way.

London was not an archive.

It was a top-secret

branch of starfleet

designated section 31.

They were developing

defense technology

and training our officers

to gather intelligence

on the klingons and any

other potential enemy

who means to do us harm.

Harrison was one

of our top agents.

Well, now he's a fugitive

and I want to take him out.

Pike always said you were one

of our best and brightest.

You should have heard

him defend you.

He's the one who talked you into

joining starfleet, wasn't he?

Yes, sir.

Did he ever tell you who

talked him into joining?

His death is on me.

And yours can't be.

Sir, please. All I...

Mr. Spock, you said the province

where Harrison is

hiding is uninhabited?

Affirmative, sir.

As part of our

defensive strategy,

31 developed a new

photon torpedo.

Long-range and untraceable,

it would be invisible

to klingon sensors.

I don't want you hurt, but

I want to take him out.

You park on the edge

of the neutral zone,

you lock onto

Harrison's position,

you fire, you kill him

and you haul ass.

Permission to reinstate Mr.

Spock as my first officer.

Granted.

Jim!

Where were you? For what?

Your medical exam.

Ten hours ago, you were

in a damn firefight.

Now it's my duty as ship's...

I'm fine, bones.

The hell you are.

I'm fine.

Status report, Mr. Spock.

The enterprise should

be ready for launch

by the time we arrive.

Good. Good. Captain.

Thank you for requesting

my reinstatement.

You're welcome.

As I am again your first

officer, it is now my duty

to strongly object to

our mission parameters.

There is no starfleet regulation that

condemns a man to die without a trial,

something you and admiral

Marcus are forgetting.

Also, preemptively

firing torpedoes

at the klingon homeworld

goes against...

You yourself said the

area's uninhabited.

There's only gonna

be one casualty.

Our orders have nothing to do

with starfleet regulation.

Wait a minute. We're firing

torpedoes at the klingons?

Regulations aside, this

action is morally wrong.

Regulations aside, pulling your ass

out of a volcano was morally right.

And I didn't win any

points for that.

I'm not gonna take ethics

lessons from a robot!

Reverting to name-calling

suggests that you are defensive

and therefore find

my opinion valid.

I wasn't asking

for your opinion.

Bones, get that

thing off my face.

Captain, our mission could

start a war with the klingons

and it is, by its very

definition, immoral.

Perhaps you should take

the requisite time

to arrive at this

conclusion for yourself.

Captain Kirk.

Science officer Wallace.

I've been assigned to the

enterprise by admiral Marcus.

These are my transfer orders.

You requested an additional

science officer, captain?

I wish I had.

"Lieutenant Carol Wallace."

"Doctorate in applied physics"

"specializing in

advanced weaponry."

Impressive credentials.

Thank you.

But redundant now that I am

back aboard the enterprise.

And yet, the more the merrier.

Have a seat, doctor. Thank you.

Shuttle crew, stand

by for lift-off.

No! I'm not signing anything!

Now, get these bloody things

off my ship! Captain!

Is there a problem, Mr. Scott?

Aye, sir. I was just

explaining to this gentleman

that I cannot authorize any

weapons on board this ship

without knowing

what's inside them.

Mr. Scott raises yet

another point...

Report to the bridge.

Captain.

Mr. Scott, I understand

your concerns,

but we need these

torpedoes on board.

Due respect, sir, but photon

torpedoes run on fuel.

Now, I cannot detect

the type of fuel

that's in the compartments

on these torpedoes

because it's shielded.

Now, I asked for the

specifications, but he said...

It's classified.

It's classified.

So I said, "no specs,

no signature!"

Captain.

Flight check's complete.

We're good to go, sir.

Thank you, Mr. sulu. Yes, sir.

Now if you'll excuse me, sir,

I have a Warp core to prime.

Get down!

Jim, your vitals are way off.

Report to the med BAY. Scotty!

I need you to approve

those weapons.

I don't have time for

a lecture, Scotty.

Do you know what this is?

It's a Warp core.

It's a radioactive catastrophe

waiting to happen.

A subtle shift in

magnetic output

from, say, firing one or

more of six dozen torpedoes

with an unknown payload

could set off a chain

reaction which would kill

every living thing on this ship.

Letting those torpedoes on board

the enterprise is the last straw!

What was the first straw?

What was the...

There are plenty of straws.

How about starfleet confiscating

my transwarp equation?

And now some madman's using

it to hop across the galaxy!

Where do you think

he got it from?

We have our orders, Scotty!

That's what scares me.

This is clearly a

military operation.

Is that what we are now?

'Cause I thought

we were explorers.

Sign for the torpedoes,

that's an order.

Right, well, you

leave me no choice

but to resign my duties.

Oh, come on, Scotty.

You're giving me no choice, sir.

I Will not stand by...

You're not giving me

much of a choice...

Will you just make an

exception and sign...

Do you accept my

resignation or not?

I do!

I do.

You are relieved, Mr. Scott.

Jim,

for the love of god, do

not use those torpedoes.

Attention. Warp core

anti-matter containment check

in three minutes.

Captain! I'm so sorry

about admiral Pike.

We all are.

Are you okay? Fine,

thank you, lieutenant.

Actually, Scotty just quit.

And your boyfriend's second-guessing

me every chance he gets.

I'm sorry, that was

inappropriate.

It's just sometimes I want to

rip the bangs off his head.

You know, maybe it's me.

I... It's not you.

It's not?

Wait, are you guys...

Are you guys fighting?

I'd rather not talk

about it, sir.

Oh, my god! What

is that even like?

Your ears burning?

Captain on the bridge!

Captain.

Mr. Chekov. You've been shadowing Mr.

Scott.

You are familiar with the

engineering systems of this ship?

Affirmative, sir.

Good.

You're my new chief.

Go put on a red shirt.

Aye, captain.

Retract all moorings, Mr. sulu.

Yes, sir.

Docking clamps one, two,

and three are released.

All moorings retracted.

Lieutenant uhura, open

a shipwide channel.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Chekov, how we

looking down there?

All systems nominal, captain.

Copy that.

Warp available at your command.

Thank you, Mr. Chekov.

All right. Let's ride. Yes, sir.

Channel open, sir.

Attention, crew of

the enterprise.

As most of you know,

Christopher Pike,

former captain of this

ship and our friend,

is dead.

The man who killed him

has fled our system

and is hiding on the

klingon homeworld,

somewhere he believes

we are unwilling to go.

We are on our way there now.

That our presence go undetected.

Tensions between the federation

and the klingon empire

have been high.

Any provocation could

led to an all-out war.

I Will personally

lead a landing party

to an abandoned city on

the surface of kronos

where we Will capture the

fugitive, John Harrison,

and return him to earth

so he can face judgment

for his actions.

All right. Let's go get this

son of a bitch. Kirk out.

Captain, I believe you have

made the right decision.

If I can be of assistance, I would be

happy to accompany you on the away team.

You? Happy?

I was simply attempting to use

your vernacular to convey an idea.

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

All personnel, prepare for the

closing of payload BAY doors.

Mr. Spock. You startled me.

What are you doing, doctor?

Verifying that the torpedo's internal...

You misunderstand.

What are you doing

aboard this ship?

There is no record of you being

assigned to the enterprise.

Really? That must be

some sort of mistake.

My conclusion as well, Dr.

Marcus.

Except that you have lied

about your identity.

Wallace is the surname

of your mother.

I can only assume the

admiral is your father.

Mr. Spock.

I'm aware that I have no

right to ask this of you.

But please, he cannot

know that I'm here...

Engineering manually dropped

us out of Warp, sir.

Mr. Chekov, did you

break my ship?

Sorry, sir. I don't

know what happened!

The core overheated.

I had to activate

the emergency stop.

It must be a coolant leak.

I need time to find it.

Sorry, captain. Damn it.

Mr. sulu, time to

our destination.

Twenty minutes, sir.

That's 20 minutes in enemy

space we weren't counting on.

All right. We better hop to it.

Where's Spock? Here, captain.

You're coming with me to kronos.

Lieutenant, how's your klingon?

It's rusty, but it's good.

Good, you're coming, too.

This isn't going to

be a problem, is it,

you two working together?

Absolutely not.

Unclear.

I'll meet you in

the shuttle BAY.

Jim, you're not actually

going down there, are you?

You don't Rob a bank when the

getaway car has a flat tire.

I'm sure engineering Will

have us all patched up

by the time we get back.

Isn't that right, Mr. Chekov?

Yes, captain.

I'll do my best, sir.

Mr. sulu, you have the conn.

Once we're en route, I

want you to transmit

a targeted comm burst

to Harrison's location.

You tell him you have a bunch of real

big torpedoes pointed at his head

and if he doesn't play nice,

you're not afraid to use them.

Is that a problem? No, sir.

I've just never sat

in the chair before.

You're gonna do great.

Jim! Wait!

You just sat that man down

at a high-stakes poker game

with no cards and

told him to bluff.

Now sulu's a good man,

but he is no captain.

And enough with the metaphors, all right?

That's an order.

Mr. sulu, make sure that

k'normian ship is ready to fly.

Acting captain sulu

to shuttle BAY 2.

Please have the trade ship

we confiscated during

the mudd incident last month

fueled and flight ready.

Captain Kirk is en

route to you now.

Ready to deploy, captain.

Lieutenants, lose

the red shirts.

You are k'normian arms dealers.

Put those on. Sir?

Look, if this thing goes south,

there can be nothing

tying us to starfleet.

Unless of course you want to

start a war, Mr. hendorff.

No, sir. No, sir.

Good. Me, neither.

I am detecting a single life

sign in the ketha province.

Given the information provided by Mr.

Scott,

this is most likely

John Harrison.

Mr. sulu, I think

we found our man.

You let him know

you mean business.

Aye, captain.

Attention, John Harrison.

This is captain hikaru sulu of the u.S.S.

Enterprise.

A shuttle of highly

trained officers

is on its way to your location.

If you do not surrender

to them immediately,

I Will unleash the

entire payload

of advanced long-range torpedoes

currently locked

onto your location.

You have two minutes to

confirm your complain.

Refusal to do so Will result

in your obliteration.

If you test me, you Will fail.

Mr. sulu,

remind me never to piss you off.

We Will arrive at

Harrison's location

in three minutes, captain.

It is unlikely that he

Will come willingly.

I calculate the odds of him

attempting to kill us at 91.6%.

Fantastic.

Good thing you don't

care about dying.

I am sorry, lieutenant.

I could not hear

what you said. Oh, I

didn't say anything.

Actually, I'd be happy

to speak if you're.

Lieutenant, I would prefer

to discuss this in private.

You'd prefer not to

discuss this at all.

What never seems to require

your undivided focus...

I'm sorry, captain,

just two seconds.

Okay... is us.

At that volcano, you didn't

give a thought to us.

What it would do to me

if you died, Spock.

You didn't feel anything.

You didn't care.

And I'm not the only one

who's upset with you.

The captain is, too.

Wha... no, no, no. Don't

drag me into this.

She is right.

Your suggestion that I do not

care about dying is incorrect.

A sentient being's

optimal chance

at maximizing their utility is

a long and prosperous life.

Great.

Not exactly a love song, Spock.

You misunderstand.

It is true I chose

not to feel anything

upon realizing that my

own life was ending.

As admiral Pike was dying,

I joined with his consciousness

and experienced what he felt

at the moment of his passing.

Anger. Confusion.

Loneliness.

Fear.

I had experienced those

feelings before,

multiplied exponentially

on the day my planet

was destroyed.

Such a feeling is

something I choose

never to experience again.

Nyota, you mistake my

choice not to feel

as a reflection

of my not caring.

Well, I assure you, the truth

is precisely the opposite.

What the hell was that?

What happened? Where's

their signal?

It cut out. I'm working

to get them back.

We are being pursued by a

d-4 class klingon vessel.

I thought this sector

was abandoned!

It must be a random patrol.

Hold on!

This ship has no

offensive capabilities.

It's got us. Give me

all six fuel cells.

Aye, captain.

They're closing

fast, bearing 285!

All right, there! There!

We can lose them there.

If you are suggesting that

we utilize the passage

between the approaching

structures,

this ship Will not fit.

We'll fit.

Captain, we Will not fit.

We'll fit, we'll fit!

I told you we'd fit. I am

not sure that qualifies.

Any sign of them?

- No. Which worries me.

- We lost them!

Or they're jamming our scanners.

Or we lost them.

They're ordering us to land.

Captain, they're gonna want

to know why we're here.

And they're gonna torture us.

Question us.

And they're gonna kill us.

So we come out shooting.

We're outnumbered, outgunned.

There's no way we survive

if we attack first.

You brought me here

because I speak klingon.

Then let me speak klingon.

This isn't going to work.

It is our only logical option.

And if you interrupt her now,

you Will not only incur

the wrath of the klingons

but that of lieutenant

uhura as well.

Lieutenant. Thanks, captain.

Stand down. How many torpedoes?

Stand down!

The weapons you threatened

me with in your message.

How many are there?

Seventy-two.

I surrender.

On behalf of Christopher Pike,

my friend,

I accept your surrender.

Captain!

Captain.

Cuff him.

- Bones, meet me in the brig.

- Be right there.

Lieutenant.

Contact starfleet, let them know

we have Harrison in custody,

and we'll be on our way once

the Warp core is repaired.

Yes, sir.

- Why the hell did he surrender?

- I don't know.

But he just took out a squad

of klingons single-handedly.

I want to know how.

Sounds like we have a

Superman on board.

You tell me.

Put your arm through the hole.

I'm gonna take a blood sample.

Why aren't we moving, captain?

An unexpected malfunction,

perhaps in your Warp core

conveniently stranding you on

the edge of klingon space?

How the hell do you know that?

Bones.

I think you'd find my

insight valuable, captain.

We good? Yeah.

Let me know what you find.

Ignore me and you Will get

everyone on this ship killed.

Captain, I believe he Will only

attempt to manipulate you.

I would not recommend engaging

the prisoner further.

Give me a minute.

Let me explain what's

happening here.

You are a criminal.

I watched you murder

innocent men and women.

I was authorized to end you!

And the only reason why

you are still alive

is because I am allowing it.

So shut your mouth.

Oh, captain, are you

going to punch me again

over and over till

your arm weakens?

Clearly you want to, so tell me,

why did you allow me to live?

We all make mistakes.

No. I surrendered

to you because,

despite your attempt to

convince me otherwise,

you seem to have a conscience, Mr.

Kirk.

If you did not, then it

would be impossible for me

to convince you of the truth.

23-17-46-11.

Coordinates not far from earth.

If you want to know

why I did what I did,

go and take a look.

Give me one reason why I

should listen to you.

I can give you 72.

And they're on board

your ship, captain.

They have been all along.

I suggest you open one up.

Oh! Hi!

You know what really

bothers me, though?

It's the modifications, you

know, the enhancements.

Right? And then like

that, I'm off the ship!

Just for trying to

do what's right!

And what did you do anyway?

You just stood there

like an oyster,

looking at me!

What?

Scotty, it's Kirk. Oh, well now!

If it isn't captain James

Tiberius perfect hair!

Did you hear that? I

called him perfect hair.

Where are you? Where are you?

Are you drunk?

What I do in my private

time is my business, jimbo.

I need you to help me

out with something.

Will you take these

coordinates down?

23-17-46-11.

Hmm. Are you writing?

What, you don't think I can

remember four numbers?

Ye of little faith.

What was the third one?

Forty-six.

I don't know exactly

what you're looking for,

but I have a feeling you'll

know it when you see it.

You may have been right

about those torpedoes.

I Will consider that an apology.

And I Will consider

that apology.

You are the one who quit.

You made me quit!

Mr. Scott?

Scott. Ah...

The nerve of that guy!

I am not doing that

man any favors!

No!

Ach! All right, then!

Are you out of your

corn-fed mind?

You're not actually going

to listen to this guy?

He killed Pike, he

almost killed you,

and now you think it's a good

idea to pop open a torpedo

because he dared you to.

Why did he save

our lives, bones?

The doctor does have

a point, captain.

Don't agree with me, Spock.

It makes me very uncomfortable.

Perhaps you too should learn

to govern your emotions, doctor.

In this situation,

logic dictates...

Logic? Oh, my god!

There's a maniac

trying to make us blow up

our own damn ship and...

That's not it. I don't

know why he surrendered,

but that's not it.

Look, we're gonna open a torpedo.

The question is how.

But, Jim, without Mr.

Scott on board,

who exactly is qualified

to just pop open a four-ton

stick of dynamite?

The admiral's daughter

appeared to have interest

in the torpedoes and she

is a weapons specialist.

Perhaps she could

be of some use.

What admiral's daughter?

Carol Marcus. Your

new science officer

concealed her identity

to board the ship.

When were you going

to tell me that?

When it became relevant.

As it just did.

Are the torpedoes

in the weapons BAY?

Loaded and ready to fire.

What are they?

I don't know. That's why

I forged my transfer

onto your ship to find out why.

I do apologize for that.

By the way, if I caused you

any problems, I am sorry.

I'm Carol Marcus.

James Kirk.

Torpedoes.

My father gave me access to

every program he oversaw,

then I heard he was developing

these prototype torpedoes.

Uh-huh. When I went to

confront him about it,

he wouldn't even see me.

That's when I discovered the

torpedoes had disappeared

from all official records.

And then he gave them to me.

You're much cleverer than your

reputation suggests, captain Kirk.

I have a reputation?

Yes, you do. I'm a friend

of Christine chapel's.

Christine, yes. How is she?

She transferred to the outer

frontier to be a nurse.

She's much happier now.

That's good.

You have no idea who I'm

talking about, do you?

What... what are

we doing in here?

Is this shuttle prepped to fly?

Of course it is.

Would you please turn around?

Why?

Just turn around.

It's too dangerous

to try and open

one of these torpedoes

on the enterprise.

But there is a nearby planetoid.

I can open one up there.

But I Will need some help.

Turn around.

Now!

Captain on the bridge!

Mr. sulu,

have doctors Marcus and McCoy

landed on the planetoid yet?

Yes, sir. They're moving the

torpedo into position now.

Good. Any activity

from the klingons?

Not yet.

But if we're stuck here much

longer, they Will find us.

Lieutenant uhura, did

you let starfleet know

we have Harrison in custody?

Yes, sir. No response yet.

Engineering to bridge.

Hello. Captain, can you hear me?

Mr. Chekov, give

me some good news.

We found the leak, sir, but

the damage is substantial.

We're working on it.

Any idea what caused it?

Uh, no, sir. But I accept

full responsibility.

Something tells me it wasn't your fault.

Stay on it.

Shuttle is standing by, captain.

Bones, thanks for helping out.

Dr. Marcus asked for the

steadiest hands on the ship.

You know, when I dreamt

about being stuck

on a deserted planet

with a gorgeous woman,

there was no torpedo!

Dr. McCoy, may I remind you,

you are not there to flirt.

So how can these legendary

hands help you, Dr. Marcus?

Bones!

To understand how powerful

these weapons are,

we need to open the warhead.

To do that, we need to

access the fuel compartment.

Unfortunately for us,

the warheads on these

weapons are live.

Sweetheart, I once performed

an emergency c-section

on a pregnant gorn.

Octuplets.

And let me tell you, those

little bastards bite.

I think I can work some

magic on your missile.

Dr. McCoy, there's a bundle

of fiber optic cables

against the inner casing.

You'll need to cut

the 23rd wire down.

Whatever you do, do not

touch anything else.

Do you understand?

Right. The thought

never crossed my mind.

Dr. McCoy,

wait for my word.

I'm rerouting the

detonation process.

Are you ready? And raring.

Good luck.

Sir, the torpedo

just armed itself.

The warhead's gonna detonate

in 30 seconds, sir!

What the hell happened?

I can't get my arm out!

The transporter cannot differentiate

between Dr. McCoy and the torpedo.

We cannot beam back one

without the other.

Dr. Marcus, can you disarm it?

I'm trying. I'm trying.

Jim, get her the

hell out of here!

No! If you beam

me back, he dies!

Just let me do it!

Ten. Nine. Eight.

Standing by to transport Dr.

Marcus on your command, sir.

Four. Three. Shit!

Deactivation

successful, captain.

Dr. McCoy, are you all right?

Bones!

Jim?

You're going to

want to see this.

Delta team, deliver your

thrusters to loading dock 12.

U.s.s. Vengeance, bridge crew

requesting entry to

construction hangar.

You are cleared to

enter the hangar.

I need a welding team on

the number one nacelle.

Holy sh...

What have we got?

This fuel container's been

removed from the torpedo

and retrofitted to

hide this cryo tube.

- Is he alive?

- He's alive.

But if we try to revive him

without the proper sequencing,

it could kill him.

This technology's beyond me.

How advanced, doctor?

It's not advanced. That

cryo tube is ancient.

We haven't needed to freeze anyone

since we developed Warp capability,

which explains the most interesting

thing about our friend here.

He's 300 years old.

Why is there a man

in that torpedo?

There are men and women

in all those torpedoes, captain.

I put them there.

Who the hell are you?

A remnant of a time long past.

Genetically engineered

to be superior

so as to lead others to

peace in a world at war.

But we were condemned as

criminals, forced into exile.

For centuries we slept,

hoping when we awoke,

things would be different.

But as a result of the

destruction of vulcan,

your starfleet began

to aggressively search

distant quadrants of space.

My ship was found adrift.

I alone was revived.

I looked up "John Harrison."

Until a year ago,

he didn't exist.

John Harrison was a fiction

created the moment I was awoken

by your admiral Marcus to

help him advance his cause.

A smokescreen to conceal

my true identity.

My name is,

Khan.

Why would a starfleet admiral

ask a 300-year-old

frozen man for help?

Because I am better.

At what? Everything.

Alexander Marcus

needed to respond to

an uncivilized threat

in a civilized time

and for that he needed

a warrior's mind.

My mind.

To design weapons and warships.

You are suggesting the admiral

violated every regulation

he vowed to uphold

simply because he wanted

to exploit your intellect.

He wanted to exploit

my savagery.

Intellect alone is useless

in a fight, Mr. Spock.

You... you can't

even break a rule.

How would you be

expected to break bone?

Marcus used me to

design weapons.

To help him realize his vision

of a militarized starfleet.

He sent you to use

those weapons.

To fire my torpedoes on

an unsuspecting planet.

And then he purposely

crippled your ship

in enemy space, leading to

one inevitable outcome.

The klingons would

come searching

for whomever was responsible,

and you would have

no chance of escape.

Marcus would finally have

the war he talked about.

The war he always wanted.

No. No.

I watched you open fire in a room

full of unarmed starfleet officers.

You killed them in cold blood!

Marcus took my crew from me.

You are a murderer!

He used my friends

to control me.

I tried to smuggle

them to safety

by concealing them

in the very weapons

I had designed,

but I was discovered.

I had no choice but

to escape alone.

And when I did, I had

every reason to suspect

that Marcus had killed

every single one

of the people I hold most dear.

So I responded in kind.

My crew

is my family, Kirk.

Is there anything you would

not do for your family?

Proximity alert, sir!

There's a ship at Warp

heading right for us.

- Klingons?

- At Warp?

No, Kirk.

- We both know who it is.

- I don't think so.

It's not coming at

us from kronos.

Lieutenant, move

Khan to med BAY.

Post six security

officers on him.

Yes, captain.

Captain on the bridge!

Eta of the incoming ship.

Three seconds, sir.

Shields. Aye, captain.

They're hailing us, sir.

On screen.

Broadcast shipwide,

for the record.

Captain Kirk.

Admiral Marcus. I

wasn't expecting you.

That's a hell of a

ship you got there.

That you'd taken Harrison into

custody in violation of your orders.

Well, we, uh...

We had to improvise

when our Warp core

unexpectedly malfunctioned.

But you already knew

that, didn't you, sir?

I don't take your meaning.

Well, that's why

you're here, isn't it?

To assist with our repairs?

Why else would the

head of starfleet

personally come to the

edge of the neutral zone?

Captain, they're

scanning our ship.

Is there something I can

help you find, sir?

Where is your prisoner, ki?

Per starfleet regulation,

I'm planning on returning

Khan to earth to stand trial.

Well, shit.

You talked to him.

This is exactly what I was

hoping to spare you from.

I took a tactical risk

and I woke that bastard,

believing that his

superior intelligence

could help us protect ourselves

from whatever came at us next.

But I made a mistake.

And now the blood of everybody

he's killed is on my hands.

So I'm asking you,

give him to me

so that I can end

what I started.

And what exactly would

you like me to do

with the rest of his crew, sir?

Fire them at the klingons?

End 72 lives?

Start a war in the process?

He put those people

in those torpedoes.

And I simply didn't

want to burden u

with knowing what

was inside of the.

You saw what this man

can do all by himself.

If we woke up the

rest of his crew?

What else did he tell you?

That he's a peacekeeper?

He's playing you, so,

don't you see that?

Khan and his crew were condemned

to death as war criminals.

And now it is our duty to

carry out that sentence

before anybody else

dies because of hi.

Now, I'm going to ask you again!

One last time, son.

Lower your shields.

Tell me where he is.

He's in engineering, sir.

But I'll have him moved

to the transporter

room right away.

I'll take it from here.

- Do not drop those shields, Mr. sulu.

- Aye, captain.

Captain, given your awareness

of Khan's true location

in the med BAY,

may I know the details

of your plan?

I told Marcus we were bringing

a fugitive back to earth.

That's what we're going to do.

Mr. Chekov, can we Warp?

Sir, if we go to Warp,

we run the risk of seriously

damaging the core!

Can we do it?

Technically, yes, but I would

not advise it, captain.

Noted.

Mr. sulu, set course for earth.

Yes, sir.

Punch it.

Well, at least we're

moving again.

If you think you're safe

at Warp, you're wrong.

Lieutenant uhura,

contact starfleet.

Tell them we were pursued

into the neutral zone

by an unmarked federation ship.

Comms are down, sir.

Permission to come

on the bridge.

Dr. Marcus.

He's gonna catch up with

us, and when he does,

the only thing that's

gonna stop him destroying

this ship is me, so you

have to let me talk to him.

Carol, we're at Warp. He

can't catch up with us.

Yes, he can. He's been

developing a ship

that has advanced

Warp capabilities...

Captain! I'm getting a

reading I don't understand.

Where are we? We're 237,000

kilometers from earth.

Shields are dropping.

We're defenseless, sir.

Sir, we have a bulkhead breach.

Where's the damage? Major

hull damage, captain.

Evasive maneuvers! Get us to earth!

Right now! Crewman: Aye, sir.

Captain! Stop! Everybody on

this ship is going to die

if you don't let

me speak to him.

Uhura, hail him.

Sir. It's me. It's Carol.

What are you doing on that ship?

I heard what you said.

That you made a mistake

and now you're doing

everything you can to fix it.

But, dad,

I don't believe that

the man who raised me

is capable of destroying a ship

full of innocent people.

And, if I'm wrong about that,

then you're gonna have to

do it with me on board.

Actually, Carol, I won't.

Oh.

Jim...

Can we intercept the transport signal?

No, sir.

Carol!

Captain Kirk, without

authorization

and in league with the

fugitive John Harris,

you went rogue in

enemy territory,

leaving me no choice

but to hunt you Don

and destroy you.

Lock phasers. Wait,

sir, wait, wait, wait!

Target all left torpedoes

on the enterprise bridge.

Sir, my crew was just... Was

just following my orders.

I take... I take full

responsibility for my actions.

But they were mine and

they were mine alone.

If I transmit Khan's

location to you now,

all that I ask is

that you spare them.

Please, sir.

I'll do anything you want.

Just let them live.

That's a hell of an apology.

But if it's any consolation,

I was never going

to spare your crew.

Fire when ready...

I'm sorry.

Our weapons won't fire, sir!

Someone in engineering just

manually reset our systems!

What do you mean, "someone"?

Who?

Their weapons have powered down.

Sir.

Enterprise! Can you hear me?

Scotty!

Guess what I found

behind Jupiter.

You're on that ship! I snuck on.

And seeing as I've just

committed an act of treason

against a starfleet

admiral, I'd really like

to get off this bloody ship.

Now beam me out!

You're a miracle worker.

We're a little low

on power right now.

Just stand by. Stand by.

What do you mean,

"low on power"?

What happened to the enterprise?

Call you back.

Scotty!

Spock. Our ship, how is she?

Our options are

limited, captain.

We cannot fire and

we cannot flee.

There is one option.

Uhura, when you get Scotty back,

patch him through. Yes, sir.

Mr. Spock, you have the conn.

Captain, I strongly object.

To what? I haven't

said anything yet.

Since we cannot take the

ship from the outside,

the only way we can

take it is from within.

And as a large boarding

party would be detected,

it is optimal for you to take

as few members of the

crew as possible.

You Will meet resistance,

requiring personnel

with advanced combat abilities

and innate knowledge

of that ship.

This indicates that you

plan to align with Khan,

the very man we were

sent here to destroy.

I'm not aligning with

him, I'm using him.

"The enemy of my

enemy is my friend."

An arabic proverb attributed

to a prince who was

betrayed and decapitated

by his own subjects.

Still, it's a hell of a quote.

I Will go with you, captain.

No, I need you on the bridge.

I cannot allow you to do this.

It is my function aboard

this ship to advise you

on making the wisest

decisions possible,

something I firmly believe

you are incapable of

doing in this moment.

You're right!

What I'm about to do, it

doesn't make any sense,

it's not logical. It

is a gut feeling.

I have no idea what

I'm supposed to do.

I only know what I can do.

The enterprise and her crew need someone

in that chair that knows what he's doing.

And it's not me.

It's you, Spock.

Tell me everything you

know about that ship.

Dreadnought class.

Two times the size,

three times the speed.

Advanced weaponry. Modified

for a minimal crew.

Unlike most federation vessels,

it's built solely for combat.

I Will do everything I can

to make you answer

for what you did.

But right now I need your help.

In exchange for what?

You said you'd do

anything for your crew.

I can guarantee their safety.

Captain.

You can't even guarantee the

safety of your own crew.

Bones, what are you doing

with that tribble?

The tribble's dead.

I'm injecting Khan's platelets

into the deceased tissue

of a necrotic host.

Khan's cells regenerate like

nothing I've ever seen,

and I want to know why.

You coming with me or not?

You want to do what?

We're coming over there.

Sulu's maneuvering

the enterprise into

position as we speak.

To this ship? How?

There's a cargo door,

hangar 7, access port 101a.

You need to find the manual

override to open that airlock.

Are you crazy? Whoever you are.

Just listen to him, Scotty.

It's gonna be all right.

It is not gonna be all right.

You want me to open an

airlock into space,

whereupon I Will freeze,

die and explode!

Lieutenant, from our current

position, is it possible

to establish contact

with new vulcan?

I'll do my best. Thank you.

Mr. sulu, what is the

status of the other ship?

Their systems are still offline.

I'm aligning our ship now.

Scotty, how we doing over there?

Captain, I wish I

had better news.

They've locked out access

to the ship's computer.

They'll have full weapons in

three minutes.

That means next time I

won't be able to stop them

destroying the enterprise.

Stand by.

Access port 101a

of the other ship.

Captain, the ships are aligned.

Copy that. Scotty!

I'm in the hangar.

Give me a minute.

I'm running. Stand by.

Whoa, whoa, hold

on, now, captain.

This door is very wee. I

mean, you know, small.

It's four square meters, tops.

It's gonna be like jumping

out of a moving car,

off a bridge, into

your shot glass.

It's okay. I've done it before.

Yeah, it was vertical.

We jumped onto a... it was a...

It doesn't matter. Scotty...

Did you find the manual override?

The manual override, Scotty.

Not yet, not yet.

Captain, before you launch,

you should be aware there is

a considerable debris

field between our ships.

Spock, not now. Scotty, you good?

It's not easy!

Just give me two seconds,

all right, you mad bastard!

Tell me this is gonna work.

I have neither the information

nor the confidence

to do so, doctor.

Okay, captain, stand by.

Boy, you're a real comfort.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yes!

Okay, okay! I'm set

to open the door.

You ready?

Are you?

Spock, pull the trigger.

Yes, captain.

Launching activation sequence on

three,

two,

one.

Sir, Kirk is headed for

collision at .432!

Captain, there is

debris directly ahead.

Copy that.

Whoa! Jim, you're

way off course!

I know, I know! I can see that.

Don't move.

Use your display

compass, captain.

You must correct precisely

- 37.243 degrees.

- Got it.

I'm working my way back.

Scotty, you're gonna be ready

with that door, right?

What are you doing in here?

Wee bit of maintenance on the

airlock console. You're big.

Mr. Scott, where are you?

Captain, he can't

seem to hear you.

I'm working on getting his signal back.

Stand by.

- Damn it.

- Captain, what is it?

My helmet was hit. Uhura, tell

me you have Mr. Scott back.

His communicator is working. I don't

know why he isn't responding.

What is that? Are you starfleet

or private security?

Show me your other hand. Because

you look like private security.

Imminent collision detected!

Khan, use evasive action!

There is debris directly ahead.

I see it.

Mr. sulu, did we lose Khan?

I don't know, commander.

I'm having trouble

tracking him in all this debris.

Was Khan hit?

We are trying to find him now.

Captain, you need to adjust

your target destination

to 183 by 473 degrees.

Spock, my display's dead.

I'm flying blind.

Hitting your target destination

is mathematically impossible.

Spock, if I get back,

we really need to talk

about your bedside manner.

Commander, he's not

going to make it.

My display is still functioning.

I see you, Kirk, you're 200 meters

ahead of me at my one o'clock.

Come to your left a few

degrees and follow me.

Scotty, we're getting close.

We need a warm welcome.

Do you copy? Do you copy?

Scotty?

If you can hear us, Mr. Scott,

open the door in ten, nine...

Scotty!

That person counting down,

what is that? Eight...

I think you're hearing things, mate...

seven...

Mr. Scott, where are you?

Six, five... 1,800 meters.

1,600 meters.

Scotty, where are you? Three...

Do you copy, Scotty?

Please! Two...

Sorry about this. About what?

Mr. Scott, open the door!

Open the door!

Mr. Scott, now!

Welcome aboard.

It's good to see you, Scotty.

Who is that?

Khan, Scotty. Scotty, Khan.

Hello.

They'll know we're here.

I know the best way

to the bridge.

It's locked to stun.

Theirs won't be.

Try not to get shot.

Commander, I have that

transmission as requested.

On screen, please.

Stand by.

Mr. Spock.

Mr. Spock.

Admiral.

I'll deal with you in a...

I am ashamed to

be your daughter.

Sir, we just had a hangar

door open on deck 13.

Khan.

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?

Oh, it's a long story.

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

worth, 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...

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?

Shit!

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.

Power coming online, sir!

Retarget the enterprise now.

Aye, sir.

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.

Jim!

Listen! Wait!

You should have let me sleep.

Where is the captain, Mr. sulu?

Our sensor array's down, sir.

I can't find him.

I'm going to make this

very simple for you.

Captain. Your crew for my crew.

You betrayed us.

Oh, you are smart, Mr. Spock.

Spock don't...

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 what I want?

We have no transporter

capabilities.

Fortunately mine a

perfectly function.

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.

A wise choice, Mr. Spock.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

I have fulfilled your terms.

Now fulfill mine.

Well, Kirk,

it seems apt to return

you to your crew.

After all,

no ship should go down

without her captain.

He's locking phasers on us, sir!

Let us out of here now!

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!

No!

Sir, their weapons

have been knocked out.

Not bad, commander.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Bones! Bones!

Nurse! I got you. I got you.

Dr. Marcus.

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 bitch!

Sir, the central power

grid is failing!

Switch to auxiliary power.

Auxiliary power failing, sir.

Commander, our ship's

caught in earth's gravity!

Can we stop? I

can't do anything.

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.

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!

Gravity systems are failing.

Hold on! Hold on!

Attention, all decks.

Evacuation protocols initiated.

Proceed to exit bays

and report to your

assigned shuttle.

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.

Jim?

Scotty, we got to get the

power back on! Come on!

Scotty, we got to jump! What?

Jump! Jump!

Oh, god.

Emergency power at

15% and dropping.

Attention, all decks.

Evacuation protocols initiated.

Proceed to exit bays

and report to your

assigned shuttle.

Jim? Hold on!

I can't.

I've got you, captain!

Chekov. Don't let go!

Even if we get the

Warp core online,

we've still got to

redirect the power!

He's right, captain! What

are you talking about?

Someone has to hit

the manual override.

Uh, laddie, there's a switch...

Behind the deflector dish!

I'll flip the switch!

Let's go!

Oh, no.

Oh-yoy! Oh-yoy!

Evacuation protocols initiated.

Proceed to exit bays

and report to your

assigned shuttle.

Mr. sulu, divert any remaining

power to stabilizers.

Doing what I can, sir.

Doing what I can.

Core misaligned. Danger.

Oh, no, no, no, no! What?

The housings are misaligned!

There's no way we can

redirect the power!

The ship's dead, sir.

She's gone.

No, she's not. Wait, Jim!

If we go in there, we'll die!

Do you hear me? The

radiation Will kill us!

Will you listen to me? What

the hell are you doing?

I'm opening the door.

I'm going in.

That door is there to stop

us from getting irradiated!

We'd be dead before

we made the climb!

You're not making the climb.

Danger. Core misaligned.

Danger. Core misaligned.

If we don't get power

or shields back online,

we're gonna be

incinerated on re-entry!

Warp core is back online!

Maximum thrusters, Mr. sulu!

Thrusters at maximum!

Stand by! Stand by!

Shields restored!

Commander, power online.

Mr. Spock, altitude stabilizing.

It's a miracle.

There are no such things.

Engineering to bridge.

Mr. Spock! Mr. Scott.

Sir, you'd better get down here.

Better hurry.

Open it.

The decontamination

process is not complete.

You'd flood the

whole compartment.

The door's locked, sir.

How's our ship?

Out of danger.

You saved the crew.

You used what he

wanted against him.

That's a nice move.

It is what you would have done.

And this,

this is what you

would have done.

It was only logical.

I'm scared, Spock.

Help me not be.

How do you choose not to feel?

I do not know.

Right now I am failing.

I want you to know why I

couldn't let you die.

Why I went back for you.

Because you are my friend.

Khan!

God, that was close!

Set destination,

starfleet headquarters!

Cannot guarantee destination.

Confirm order.

Confirm.

Search the enemy ship

for signs of life.

Sir, there's no way

anyone survived.

He could.

Yes, sir.

Whoa! He just jumped 30 meters!

Can we beam him up?

There's too much damage.

I have no incoming signal.

But it may be possible

to beam you down, sir.

Go get him.

Stand by for coordinates.

Yes, sir.

Enter 3517 by 2598.

Coordinates confirmed.

Get me a cryo tube, now!

Get this guy out

of the cryo tube.

Keep him in an induced coma.

We're gonna put Kirk inside.

It's our only chance to

preserve his brain function.

How much of Khan's

blood is left?

None.

Enterprise to Spock. Spock!

Activate the cryogenic sequence.

McCoy to bridge.

I can't reach Spock.

I need Khan alive.

You get that son of a bitch

back on board right now!

I think he can save Kirk.

Can we beam them up to the ship?

Ah, they keep moving! I can't

get a lock on either of them.

Can you beam someone down?

Spock!

Spock!

Spock, stop! Stop!

He's our only chance

to save Kirk!

- What is it?

- It's a boy.

Your father was captain of

a starship for 12 minutes.

He saved 800 lives. I

dare you to do better.

Oh, don't be so melodramatic.

You were barely dead.

It was the transfusion

that really took its toll.

You were out cold for two weeks.

Transfusion?

Your cells were heavily irradiated.

We had no choice.

Khan?

Once we caught him,

I synthesized a serum

from his superblood.

Tell me, are you

feeling, uh, homicidal?

Power mad? Despotic?

No more than usual.

How'd you catch him?

I didn't.

You saved my life.

Uhura and I had something to

do with it, too, you know.

You saved my life, captain.

And the lives...

Spock, just...

Thank you.

You are welcome, Jim.

There Will always be those

who mean to do us ha.

To stop them,

we risk awakening the same

evil within ourselves.

Our first instinct

is to seek revenge

when those we love

are taken from us.

But that's not who we are.

We are here today

to rechristen the u.S.S.

Enterprise,

and to honor those

who lost their lives

nearly one year ago.

When Christopher Pike

first gave me his ship

he had me recite the

captain's oath,

words I didn't

appreciate at the time.

Now I see them as a

call for us to remember

who we once were,

and who we must be again.

And those words?

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages of

the starship enterprise.

Her five-year mission,

to explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life

and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no

one has gone before.

Captain on the bridge.

It's hard to get out of it

once you've had a taste,

isn't that right, Mr. sulu?

"Captain" does have

a nice ring to it.

Chair's all yours, sir.

Mr. Scott.

How's our core?

Purring like a kitten, captain.

She's ready for a long journey.

Excellent.

Come on, bones!

It's gonna be fun.

Five years in space.

God help me.

Dr. Marcus.

Uh... I'm glad you could

be a part of the family.

It's nice to have a family.

Spock.

Captain.

Where shall we go?

As a mission of this duration

has never been attempted,

I defer to your good

judgment, captain.

Mr. sulu, take us out.

Aye, captain.
