We both agree it's radiation. 66 00:07:54,203 --> 00:07:57,081 Dr. Coleman isn't prepared to say what form. 67 00:07:57,248 --> 00:08:00,501 Will it affect your arriving at a correct treatment? 68 00:08:00,668 --> 00:08:03,295 It's crucial. 69 00:08:03,462 --> 00:08:10,427 Well, this is especially disturbing to me for... personal reasons. 70 00:08:10,594 --> 00:08:15,641 - I didn't know you knew her that well. - It's been a long time since I saw her. 71 00:08:16,684 --> 00:08:19,311 I walked out on her when it became serious. 72 00:08:19,478 --> 00:08:23,524 You must have been very young at the time. 73 00:08:23,691 --> 00:08:26,360 Youth doesn't excuse everything. 74 00:08:27,778 --> 00:08:32,157 - It's a very unhappy memory for me. - I didn't realize that. 75 00:08:32,324 --> 00:08:36,078 - I shall do everything in my power. - Thank you very much. 76 00:08:39,498 --> 00:08:44,753 Dr. Lester... is a very lucky young person to have escaped. 77 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,923 Yes, very lucky.

I couldn't... 89 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:51,445 You couldn't because you love him. You want me to be his murderer. 90 00:09:51,612 --> 00:09:56,116 Love... him? I love the life he led. 91 00:09:56,283 --> 00:09:58,952 The power of a starship commander. 92 00:09:59,995 --> 00:10:04,249 - It's my life now. - I won't become a murderer. 93 00:10:04,416 --> 00:10:07,169 You are a murderer! 94 00:10:09,630 --> 00:10:12,716 You knew it was celebium and could have treated them. 95 00:10:12,883 --> 00:10:16,011 You're a murderer many times over. 96 00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:21,183 Jim, what are you doing here? 97 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:24,812 I thought my presence might quiet her. It's the opposite. 98 00:10:24,978 --> 00:10:29,274 It's nothing to do with you. It's a symptom of radiation illness. 99 00:10:29,441 --> 00:10:34,071 Tests show there's no signs of internal radiation damage. 100 00:10:34,238 --> 00:10:38,242 Didn't Dr. Lester's staff become delirious before they died? 101 00:10:39,451 --> 00:10:41,286 Yes, Captain. 102 00:10:41,453 --> 00:10:47,000 Dr. Lester could be suffering from a phaser stun as far as I can detect. 103 00:10:48,043 --> 00:10:52,089 Dr. Coleman, Dr. McCoy's had a great deal of experience 104 00:10:52,256 --> 00:10:55,718 with radiation exposure on board the Enterprise. 105 00:10:55,884 --> 00:10:58,303 I am guided by his opinion. 106 00:10:58,470 --> 00:11:03,100 Dr. Lester and her staff have been under my supervision for two years. 107 00:11:03,267 --> 00:11:05,686 If you don't follow my recommendations, 108 00:11:05,853 --> 00:11:10,816 responsibility for her health or her death will be yours. 109 00:11:17,156 --> 00:11:23,245 Dr. McCoy, I have to take you off the case and turn it over to Dr. Coleman. 110 00:11:23,412 --> 00:11:27,958 You can't do this. On this ship, my medical authority is final. 111 00:11:28,125 --> 00:11:31,044 Dr. Coleman wants to assume responsibility. 112 00:11:31,211 --> 00:11:34,173 - I won't allow it. - It's done. 113 00:11:35,632 --> 00:11:37,676 Dr. Coleman, your patient. 114 00:11:41,305 --> 00:11:45,142 - Didn't you suggest sedation? - Yes, Captain. 115 00:11:45,309 --> 00:11:49,354 It's not necessary.

Bad dream. 122 00:12:54,628 --> 00:12:58,882 Kirk is returning to consciousness in the body of Janice Lester. 123 00:12:59,049 --> 00:13:04,304 The Enterprise is proceeding to its next mission on the course set for it. 124 00:13:04,471 --> 00:13:10,102 The years I spent studying every detail of the ship's operation will be tested. 125 00:13:10,269 --> 00:13:14,940 With a little experience, I will be invulnerable to suspicion. 126 00:13:25,075 --> 00:13:29,496 At last I attained what is my just due -- command of a starship. 127 00:13:29,663 --> 00:13:33,959 All the months of preparation now come to fruition. 128 00:13:41,758 --> 00:13:45,512 - Course, Mr. Chekov. - 127, mark 8. 129 00:13:46,972 --> 00:13:49,892 Mr. Sulu, set speed at warp factor 2. 130 00:13:50,058 --> 00:13:52,352 Warp factor 2, sir. 131 00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:17,628 Mr. Chekov, plot a course for the Benecia Colony. 132 00:14:17,794 --> 00:14:20,672 Course to Benecia 373, mark 8. 133 00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:23,634 How long to the colony at our present speed? 134 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,180 - 48 hours, sir. - Mr. Sulu, set course for the colony. 135 00:14:28,347 --> 00:14:33,226 - 373, mark 8. - Aye, sir. 373 mark 8. 136 00:14:33,393 --> 00:14:37,648 That will delay our work at Beta Aurigae. It means reversing course. 137 00:14:37,814 --> 00:14:40,984 We must take Dr. Lester to where she can be treated. 138 00:14:41,151 --> 00:14:47,240 May I point out that Starbase 2 is on the direct route to our destination? 139 00:14:47,407 --> 00:14:51,119 - How long to Starbase 2? - 72 hours, Captain. 140 00:14:51,286 --> 00:14:55,624 24 hours too long. Dr. Lester's condition is increasingly serious. 141 00:14:55,791 --> 00:14:58,627 - Continue present course. - Aye, sir. 142 00:14:59,836 --> 00:15:03,882 If the diagnosis of Dr. Lester's illness is the critical problem, 143 00:15:04,049 --> 00:15:07,052 then the Benecia Colony is not the place for her. 144 00:15:07,219 --> 00:15:09,721 Their medical facilities are primitive. 145 00:15:09,888 --> 00:15:13,266 - They will have to serve. - Starbase 2 is equipped. 146 00:15:13,433 --> 00:15:15,602 And staffed with specialists 147 00:15:15,769 --> 00:15:19,606 to determine exactly what is wrong with the doctor. 148 00:15:19,773 --> 00:15:23,735 - Is that not crucial to your decision? - Thank you, Mr. Spock. 149 00:15:23,902 --> 00:15:27,197 The facilities will be of little use if she's dead. 150 00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:32,577 Time is of the essence. Continue present course. 151 00:15:36,331 --> 00:15:41,169 At maximum speed, Starbase 2 would still meet the emergency. 152 00:15:47,008 --> 00:15:51,179 Captain, shall I advise Starfleet Command of the change of plan? 153 00:15:51,346 --> 00:15:56,935 No change of plan has been ordered. Arrival at Beta Aurigae will be delayed. 154 00:15:57,102 --> 00:16:01,815 Our gravitational studies will not suffer and a life may be saved. 155 00:16:01,982 --> 00:16:05,694 That is not unusual procedure for the Enterprise. 156 00:16:05,861 --> 00:16:08,530 Starfleet will have to be notified 157 00:16:08,697 --> 00:16:14,161 that our rendezvous with the Potemkin will not take place as scheduled. 158 00:16:16,496 --> 00:16:20,208 If you'd concentrate on areas for which you are responsible, 159 00:16:20,375 --> 00:16:23,628 Starfleet Command would have been informed already. 160 00:16:23,795 --> 00:16:28,800 Since the captain usually deals directly with Starfleet in these matters, 161 00:16:28,967 --> 00:16:33,638 I assumed that my suggestions might be deemed interference. 162 00:16:35,432 --> 00:16:40,687 Inform Starfleet of the delay, Lieutenant. Continue present course. 163 00:16:40,854 --> 00:16:43,523 Increase speed to warp factor 6. 164 00:16:46,735 --> 00:16:49,488 I'll let my record speak for me. 165 00:16:50,614 --> 00:16:54,868 Why are you being so defensive? There's no implied criticism of you. 166 00:16:55,035 --> 00:17:01,208 That is not why I'm here. Dr. Coleman's record states that he's incompetent. 167 00:17:01,374 --> 00:17:03,794 That's the opinion of an individual. 168 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,880 That is the opinion of Starfleet. I checked. 169 00:17:07,047 --> 00:17:13,595 Dr. Coleman was removed from his post for administrative incompetence. 170 00:17:13,762 --> 00:17:16,014 He has no administrative duties. 171 00:17:16,181 --> 00:17:18,517 As well as flagrant medical blunders. 172 00:17:18,683 --> 00:17:22,813 Promotions and demotions can be politically maneuvered. 173 00:17:22,979 --> 00:17:26,233 Not in Starfleet Headquarters, Captain! 174 00:17:26,399 --> 00:17:30,153 And certainly not in the surgeon general's office. 175 00:17:32,072 --> 00:17:34,908 I'm afraid the order will have to stand. 176 00:17:36,451 --> 00:17:42,123 Dr. Coleman's experience with what happened on the planet 177 00:17:42,290 --> 00:17:44,709 had to be the deciding factor here. 178 00:17:44,876 --> 00:17:47,003 I'm sure you can appreciate that. 179 00:17:47,170 --> 00:17:49,881 I appreciate that you had a decision to make. 180 00:17:50,048 --> 00:17:53,385 I also find myself in that position now, Jim. 181 00:17:53,552 --> 00:17:56,429 I'm asking you to report for an examination. 182 00:17:56,596 --> 00:17:59,766 Why? What do you base that on? 183 00:17:59,933 --> 00:18:04,729 Development of emotional instability and erratic mental attitudes 184 00:18:04,896 --> 00:18:07,816 since returning from that planet. 185 00:18:11,027 --> 00:18:15,657 You'll never make that charge stick. Any fool can see why you're doing this. 186 00:18:15,824 --> 00:18:19,077 I'll let Starfleet Command be the judge of my motives. 187 00:18:19,244 --> 00:18:22,706 I won't submit to this petty search for revenge. 188 00:18:22,873 --> 00:18:26,334 But you will submit to Starfleet regulations, 189 00:18:26,501 --> 00:18:30,505 and they state that the ship's surgeon will require examination 190 00:18:30,672 --> 00:18:35,969 of any crewmember that he has doubts about, including the captain. 191 00:18:44,352 --> 00:18:47,355 - Captain Kirk here. - Sulu here, Captain. 192 00:18:47,522 --> 00:18:51,234 Starfleet is requesting additional details on the delay. 193 00:18:51,401 --> 00:18:53,486 I'll be right there. 194 00:19:18,970 --> 00:19:21,264 Pulse pressure... 195 00:19:22,307 --> 00:19:26,603 ...blood count, all body functions normal, then why am I here? 196 00:19:26,770 --> 00:19:28,980 Dr. McCoy? 197 00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:32,776 Dr. McCoy... 198 00:19:32,943 --> 00:19:36,196 - Quiet would be best for you. - Where's Dr. McCoy? 199 00:19:36,363 --> 00:19:39,783 - I'm in charge now. - Bring Dr. McCoy at once. 200 00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:42,869 He is in command of medicine here. 201 00:19:43,036 --> 00:19:46,039 He was taken off your case by Captain Kirk. 202 00:19:46,206 --> 00:19:47,999 By Captain Kirk? 203 00:19:48,166 --> 00:19:51,544 It was done for your own protection, Dr. Lester. 204 00:19:51,711 --> 00:19:56,883 I am not Janice Lester. She did this to me. How can I make you understand? 205 00:19:57,050 --> 00:20:01,846 Janice has driven herself mad with jealousy, hatred and ambition. 206 00:20:02,013 --> 00:20:05,934 Nurse Chapel, bring Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy to me at once. 207 00:20:06,101 --> 00:20:12,315 They must believe I am not Janice Lester. I'm imprisoned in her body. 208 00:20:12,482 --> 00:20:16,194 She is suffering from the delusion of being Captain Kirk. 209 00:20:16,361 --> 00:20:18,530 I am not Janice Lester! 210 00:20:18,697 --> 00:20:22,033 The paranoia has been developing for six months. 211 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,830 The radiation has intensified it. She must be kept sedated. 212 00:20:26,997 --> 00:20:30,750 - Shall I prepare a mild sedative? - Of course. 213 00:20:42,053 --> 00:20:44,514 You are insane, Dr. Lester. 214 00:21:08,371 --> 00:21:14,502 Captain's log, stardate unknown. I have lost track of time. 215 00:21:14,669 --> 00:21:19,883 I am still held captive in a strange body and separated from all my crew. 216 00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:22,761 I must have sounded quite mad to you before. 217 00:21:22,927 --> 00:21:25,847 What you've been through would break most of us. 218 00:21:26,014 --> 00:21:30,268 I'll be all right now. Could I see your Dr. McCoy? 219 00:21:30,435 --> 00:21:33,104 That's against Dr. Coleman's orders. 220 00:21:36,983 --> 00:21:40,987 Is a visit by that very kind Mr. Spock to be allowed? 221 00:21:41,154 --> 00:21:43,948 Perhaps before we reach the Benecia Colony. 222 00:21:44,115 --> 00:21:48,286 Isn't the Enterprise to rendezvous with the Potemkin at Beta Aurigae? 223 00:21:48,453 --> 00:21:51,664 First we have to let you recuperate at Benecia. 224 00:21:54,584 --> 00:21:57,420 You'll feel better if you have a little. 225 00:21:58,463 --> 00:22:00,548 Well, I'll try.

Knowledge of the captain's behavior is spreading. 233 00:22:45,009 --> 00:22:48,012 The crew is becoming increasingly tense. 234 00:22:48,179 --> 00:22:49,806 What worries me most 235 00:22:49,973 --> 00:22:54,185 is that Jim seems unaware something is wrong with him. 236 00:22:54,352 --> 00:22:59,649 We've got to make him realize it's serious before treatment can begin. 237 00:22:59,816 --> 00:23:05,280 I'm afraid that is a forlorn hope. The illness appears to be primarily mental. 238 00:23:05,446 --> 00:23:08,158 One of us should be able to get to him. 239 00:23:08,324 --> 00:23:14,372 I keep looking for an approach, but the speed of the illness makes it difficult. 240 00:23:14,539 --> 00:23:17,458 Perhaps the surgeon general should be alerted. 241 00:23:17,625 --> 00:23:21,671 Headquarters are only interested in results of specific tests. 242 00:23:21,838 --> 00:23:23,882 All we have are our opinions. 243 00:23:24,048 --> 00:23:28,845 Are you sure the captain will comply with your order in this state of mind? 244 00:23:29,012 --> 00:23:31,973 I'll lose my medical authority to enforce it. 245 00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:40,940 Doctor, we are treading on very thin ground. 246 00:23:41,107 --> 00:23:44,527 Actions such as these might be misinterpreted. 247 00:23:44,694 --> 00:23:49,199 Then so be it. Our responsibility is clear. 248 00:23:49,365 --> 00:23:51,409 Whatever happened to the captain 249 00:23:51,576 --> 00:23:55,914 took place in the short space of time he was alone with Dr. Lester. 250 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,250 A conversation with her might shed some light. 251 00:23:59,417 --> 00:24:04,088 It's worth a try. You try to get to Dr. Lester while I examine Jim. 252 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,594 Well, gentlemen. I'm here, Doctor. 253 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,852 Spock, Bones, help me. Don't let them lock me away. 254 00:24:18,019 --> 00:24:20,271 I've got to talk to you. 255 00:24:24,734 --> 00:24:26,486 Jim! 256 00:24:28,321 --> 00:24:30,740 She might have killed someone. 257 00:24:30,907 --> 00:24:33,910 Put her in isolation. Maintain a 24-hour watch. 258 00:24:34,077 --> 00:24:38,373 No one, absolutely no one is to talk to her without my permission. 259 00:25:00,937 --> 00:25:04,190 - How is the doctor? - She regained consciousness. 260 00:25:04,357 --> 00:25:08,069 - I have a few questions to ask her. - Did the captain order it? 261 00:25:08,236 --> 00:25:12,156 Why should he? They are my questions. I am ordering it. 262 00:25:12,323 --> 00:25:14,951 He said no one is allowed to speak to her. 263 00:25:15,118 --> 00:25:18,579 Has such an order ever included his senior officers? 264 00:25:18,746 --> 00:25:20,373 No, sir. 265 00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:24,669 Mr. Spock, I think the captain meant a guard should be present. 266 00:25:24,836 --> 00:25:26,921 By all means, Lieutenant. 267 00:25:33,761 --> 00:25:36,014 That's enough. That's enough. 268 00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:39,017 Your heart will last for ever, Captain. 269 00:25:40,059 --> 00:25:43,771 - How am I otherwise? - In the pink as usual. 270 00:25:43,938 --> 00:25:48,192 Liver, kidney, blood count, metabolic rate, 271 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,156 everything, even your glands, functioning at their usual efficiency. 272 00:25:53,323 --> 00:25:56,617 Good. I hope you're as pleased about it as I am. 273 00:25:59,454 --> 00:26:02,081 Don't get dressed yet. 274 00:26:02,248 --> 00:26:05,084 You said I was in perfect condition. 275 00:26:06,127 --> 00:26:08,212 Physically. 276 00:26:10,298 --> 00:26:12,342 Another test isn't necessary. 277 00:26:12,508 --> 00:26:15,511 The Robbiani dermal-optic is crucial. 278 00:26:15,678 --> 00:26:20,141 It reveals the basic emotional structure. You had one once before. 279 00:26:20,308 --> 00:26:23,478 I need another to compare with that previous test. 280 00:26:23,644 --> 00:26:27,357 There should be no change in your dermal-optic reactions 281 00:26:27,523 --> 00:26:29,484 to the color wave lengths. 282 00:26:34,072 --> 00:26:36,532 Over here, Captain. 283 00:26:41,329 --> 00:26:42,955 Over here, Captain. 284 00:26:43,122 --> 00:26:49,504 Complete life-entity transfer with the aid of a mechanical device? 285 00:26:50,546 --> 00:26:52,423 That's what it must have been. 286 00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:57,470 Such total transfer has never been accomplished with complete success 287 00:26:57,637 --> 00:26:59,472 anywhere in the galaxy. 288 00:26:59,639 --> 00:27:02,183 It was accomplished long ago on Camus II. 289 00:27:02,350 --> 00:27:05,353 - I'm a living example. - That is your claim. 290 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,234 As yet it is unsubstantiated by any... external evidence, 291 00:27:11,401 --> 00:27:13,820 or objective tests. 292 00:27:13,986 --> 00:27:17,407 Nevertheless, Spock, it is the truth I'm speaking. 293 00:27:21,828 --> 00:27:24,497 Now lower your arms and open your eyes. 294 00:27:27,959 --> 00:27:32,755 At this moment, Dr. McCoy is examining 295 00:27:32,922 --> 00:27:35,174 the captain for psychological changes. 296 00:27:35,341 --> 00:27:40,012 If any facts are uncovered, that would be acceptable evidence. 297 00:27:40,179 --> 00:27:43,224 The only kind which is acceptable to Starfleet 298 00:27:43,850 --> 00:27:46,227 and the crew of the Enterprise. 299 00:27:47,270 --> 00:27:52,233 Spock, when I was caught in the interphase of the Tholian sector, 300 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,112 you risked your life and the Enterprise to get me back. 301 00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:58,030 Help me get back now. 302 00:27:59,407 --> 00:28:03,035 When the Vians of Minara demanded that we let Bones die, 303 00:28:03,202 --> 00:28:04,787 we didn't permit it. 304 00:28:04,954 --> 00:28:07,582 That is true.

Captain James T. Kirk? 381 00:34:47,690 --> 00:34:53,070 No. I am not Captain Kirk. That is very apparent. 382 00:34:53,237 --> 00:34:59,243 I claim that whatever it is that makes James Kirk a being special to himself 383 00:34:59,410 --> 00:35:01,537 is being held here in this body. 384 00:35:02,955 --> 00:35:09,128 However, as I understand it, I am Dr. Janice Lester. 385 00:35:14,133 --> 00:35:18,053 That's very clever, but I didn't say it. 386 00:35:18,220 --> 00:35:23,601 I said the body of James Kirk is being used by Dr. Janice Lester. 387 00:35:23,767 --> 00:35:27,688 Oh. A subtlety that somehow escapes me. 388 00:35:27,855 --> 00:35:33,402 I assume that this switch was arrived at by mutual agreement. 389 00:35:33,569 --> 00:35:37,197 No. It was brought about by a violent attack by Dr. Lester 390 00:35:37,364 --> 00:35:40,618 and the use of equipment she discovered on Camus II. 391 00:35:40,784 --> 00:35:46,832 Violence... by the lady, perpetrated on Captain Kirk. 392 00:35:48,208 --> 00:35:51,921 I ask the assembled personnel to look at Dr. Janice Lester 393 00:35:52,087 --> 00:35:57,009 and visualize that historic moment. 394 00:35:57,176 --> 00:36:00,638 Can you tell me why Dr. Janice Lester 395 00:36:00,804 --> 00:36:04,266 would agree to this ludicrous exchange? 396 00:36:04,433 --> 00:36:08,103 Yes. To get the power she craved. 397 00:36:08,270 --> 00:36:13,442 To attain a position she doesn't merit by temperament or training. 398 00:36:13,609 --> 00:36:17,237 And, most of all, she wanted to murder James Kirk, 399 00:36:17,404 --> 00:36:20,115 a man who once loved her. 400 00:36:20,282 --> 00:36:26,163 But her hatred of her own womanhood made life with her impossible. 401 00:36:29,917 --> 00:36:33,629 Are you prepared with witnesses? One will do. 402 00:36:33,796 --> 00:36:36,423 There is only one issue here. 403 00:36:36,590 --> 00:36:40,302 Is the story of life-entity transfer believable? 404 00:36:40,469 --> 00:36:44,932 This crew has been to many places and witnessed many strange events. 405 00:36:45,099 --> 00:36:50,104 They are trained to know what seems to be impossible often is possible, 406 00:36:50,270 --> 00:36:54,191 given the scientific analysis of the phenomenon. 407 00:36:54,358 --> 00:36:58,445 Have you ever heard of a case such as described by Dr. Lester? 408 00:36:58,988 --> 00:37:01,949 Not precisely, no. 409 00:37:02,116 --> 00:37:05,369 Assuming that you are correct in your belief, 410 00:37:05,536 --> 00:37:11,125 do you expect Starfleet Command to place this er... this er... person 411 00:37:11,291 --> 00:37:13,836 in command of the Enterprise? 412 00:37:14,003 --> 00:37:17,381 I expect only to reveal the truth. 413 00:37:17,548 --> 00:37:22,928 If I am not captain, and knowing she will not be allowed to serve as captain, 414 00:37:23,095 --> 00:37:26,849 then you would be captain! It is inevitable. 415 00:37:32,813 --> 00:37:39,236 Give it up. Return to the Enterprise family. All charges will be dropped. 416 00:37:39,403 --> 00:37:43,699 And the madness that overcame all of us on Camus II 417 00:37:43,866 --> 00:37:45,534 will fade and be forgotten. 418 00:37:45,701 --> 00:37:49,038 What will become of Dr. Lester? 419 00:37:49,204 --> 00:37:51,457 Dr. Lester will be cared for always. 420 00:37:51,623 --> 00:37:55,169 It is a responsibility I owe her from the past. 421 00:37:55,335 --> 00:37:59,256 No, sir, I shall not withdraw a single charge that I have made. 422 00:37:59,423 --> 00:38:03,552 You are not Captain Kirk. You have ruthlessly appropriated his body, 423 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,805 but the life entity within you is not Captain Kirk. 424 00:38:06,972 --> 00:38:13,395 You do not belong in charge and I shall do everything in my power against you. 425 00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:24,156 Play back those last two sentences from Mr. Spock's tirade. 426 00:38:29,453 --> 00:38:33,999 You do not belong in charge. I shall do everything in my power against you. 427 00:38:34,166 --> 00:38:37,836 You heard the statement. Do you understand its nature? 428 00:38:38,003 --> 00:38:40,881 I do. And I stand by it. 429 00:38:42,216 --> 00:38:47,221 It is mutiny! Deliberate, vindictive, insane, in its base! 430 00:38:47,387 --> 00:38:52,476 But mutiny as charged. Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, you heard it. 431 00:38:52,643 --> 00:38:58,273 I call for an immediate vote by the powers granted to me as captain. 432 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,027 A recess is declared to be followed by a vote. 433 00:39:02,194 --> 00:39:06,448 An immediate vote before our chief witness can be left to die 434 00:39:06,615 --> 00:39:09,409 on an obscure planet with the truth inside her. 435 00:39:09,576 --> 00:39:11,662 Silence! You will be silent! 436 00:39:13,413 --> 00:39:16,208 A recess has been declared. No discussion. 437 00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:19,795 When I return, we will vote on the charge of mutiny. 438 00:39:20,838 --> 00:39:25,509 The evidence presented here is the only basis of your decision. 439 00:39:48,949 --> 00:39:51,785 - Scotty. - Doctor. 440 00:39:53,954 --> 00:39:55,747 Doctor. 441 00:39:55,914 --> 00:40:00,586 I've seen the captain feverish, sick, 442 00:40:00,752 --> 00:40:07,926 drunk, delirious, terrified, overjoyed, boiling mad. 443 00:40:08,093 --> 00:40:13,515 But up to now I have never seen him red-faced with hysteria. 444 00:40:15,517 --> 00:40:17,853 I know how I'm going to vote. 445 00:40:18,020 --> 00:40:20,564 I've been through this with Spock. 446 00:40:20,731 --> 00:40:23,275 He's not being scientific and neither are you. 447 00:40:23,442 --> 00:40:29,197 It may not be scientific, but if Mr. Spock thinks it happened, then it is logical. 448 00:40:29,364 --> 00:40:33,994 Don't you think I know that? My tests show there's nothing wrong with him. 449 00:40:34,161 --> 00:40:38,165 That's the only fact Starfleet's going to be interested in. 450 00:40:38,332 --> 00:40:42,377 Headquarters has its problems and we have ours. 451 00:40:43,545 --> 00:40:49,343 And right now the captain of the Enterprise is our problem. 452 00:40:51,428 --> 00:40:53,805 They're going to call for the vote in a few minutes. 453 00:40:53,972 --> 00:40:57,434 Let me put one last question. 454 00:40:57,601 --> 00:41:01,480 Suppose you vote with me in favor of Spock. 455 00:41:02,522 --> 00:41:06,777 That means two votes to one and Spock is free. 456 00:41:06,944 --> 00:41:10,238 What do you think the captain will do? 457 00:41:14,826 --> 00:41:18,121 - I don't know. - You know all right. 458 00:41:19,289 --> 00:41:21,333 It'll stick in his craw. 459 00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:23,543 He'll never accept it. 460 00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:27,047 - We don't know that. - I tell you he won't. 461 00:41:28,131 --> 00:41:32,803 Then, Doctor, that's the time we move against him. 462 00:41:34,721 --> 00:41:39,518 - We'll have to take over the ship. - We're talking about mutiny, Scotty. 463 00:41:42,104 --> 00:41:44,272 Aye. 464 00:41:47,025 --> 00:41:49,695 Are you ready for the vote? 465 00:41:53,824 --> 00:41:57,411 Yes.
