that he was...

everything

he knew...

is lost.

Please wait.

He would have

found a way.

If there was

that much at stake,

Spock would have

found a way.

Yes. But how?

What if he joined

with someone else?

Engine room,

flight recorder visual.

Stardate 8128. 78.

Go.

The ship...

out of danger?

Yes.

Back.77.

Flight recorder

visual 28. 77.

Go.

No! You'll flood

the whole compartment.

He'll die.

He's dead already.

Back.76.

Flight recorder

visual 28. 76.

Go.

You're not

going in there.

Perhaps you're right.

What is Mr. Scott's

condition?

I don't think he-

Sorry, Doctor,

I have no time

to discuss this logically.

Freeze.

Repeat and augment.

Remember.

McCoy!

One alive, one not,

yet both in pain.

What must I do?

You must bring them

to Mount Seleya on Vulcan.

Only there

can both find peace.

What you ask...

is difficult.

You will

find a way, Kirk.

If you

honor them both,

you must.

I will.

I swear.

Transporter room,

stand by to energize.

Aye, sir.

Energizing now.

Grissom to Saavik.

We're picking up radiation

from the life form.

Affirmative,

Captain.

Our readings are well below

danger level.

Exercise caution,

Lieutenant.

This landing

is Captain's discretion,

and I'm the one

who's out on a limb.

I'll try

to remember that.

There are your

life forms.

These were microbes

on the tube's surface.

We shot them here

from Enterprise.

They were fruitful

and multiplied.

But how could they have

evolved so quickly?

Saavik.

What is it?

Spock's burial robe.

Aaahhh...

Aaahhh...

No. Absolutely not,

Jim.

You're

my best officer,

but I am Commander-

Starfleet,

so I don't

break rules.

Don't quote rules.

I'm talking about

loyalty and sacrifice.

One man

who's died for us,

another with

emotional problems.

This business about

Spock and McCoy-

honestly, I never understood

Vulcan mysticism.

You don't

have to believe.

I'm not even sure

that I believe.

But if there's

even a chance

that Spock has

an eternal soul,

then it's

my responsibility.

Yours?

As surely as if

it were my very own.

Give me back

the Enterprise.

With Scotty's help-

No. The Enterprise would never

stand the pounding.

Then I'll find a ship.

I'll hire a ship.

Out of the question.

The council

has ordered

that no one

but the science team

goes to Genesis.

Jim, your life

and your career

stand

for rationality,

not for

intellectual chaos.

Keep up this

emotional behavior,

and you'll lose

everything.

You'll destroy

yourself.

Do you

understand me, Jim?

I hear you.

I had to try.

Of course.

Thanks for the drink.

Anytime.

The word, sir?

The word is no.

I am therefore

going anyway.

Gene Roddenberry

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991) was an American television screenwriter and producer. He is best remembered for creating the original Star Trek television series. Born in El Paso, Texas, Roddenberry grew up in Los Angeles, where his father was a police officer. Roddenberry flew 89 combat missions in the Army Air Forces during World War II, and worked as a commercial pilot after the war. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Los Angeles Police Department, where he also began to write scripts for television. As a freelance writer, Roddenberry wrote scripts for Highway Patrol, Have Gun–Will Travel, and other series, before creating and producing his own television series The Lieutenant. In 1964, Roddenberry created Star Trek, which premiered in 1966 and ran for three seasons before being canceled. He then worked on other projects, including a string of failed television pilots. The syndication of Star Trek led to its growing popularity; this, in turn, resulted in the Star Trek feature films, on which Roddenberry continued to produce and consult. In 1987, the sequel series Star Trek: The Next Generation began airing on television in first-run syndication; Roddenberry was heavily involved in the initial development of the series, but took a less active role after the first season due to ill health. He continued to consult on the series until his death in 1991. In 1985, he became the first TV writer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was later inducted by both the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Years after his death, Roddenberry was one of the first humans to have his ashes carried into earth orbit. The popularity of the Star Trek universe and films has inspired films, books, comic books, video games, and fan films set in the Star Trek universe. more…
