USS Kelvin, go for Starfleet base. - Starfleet Base.
We sent you a transmission. Did you receive it?
Kelvin, can you double-check those readings?
Our gravitational sensors are going crazy here. You should see this.
It looks like a lightning storm.
What you've sent us doesn't seem possible.
Yes mam, I understand. That's why we sent it.
Report. - Still out of visual range. 20 seconds.
Alert captain Robau that Starfleet advised to...
proceed with caution
Polarize the view screen.
Whatever this is... Klingon origin? - Captain, we have visual.
Repeat. Could this be Klingon? - Negative, lieutenant.
You're 75000 kilometers from the Klingon border.
Captain, are you seeing this?
My God.
I have a reading. They've locked weapons on us.
Red alert.
Torpedo locked on us at 320°- 2. Arm weapons.
Evasive pattern delta 5.
We're being cut like grass.
Fire all phasers. Damage report.
Warp drive's been knocked out. Never seen anything like this.
Weapons offline. Main power at 38%.
They're firing another. - All power to forward shields.
Help me
maneuver has been lost.
Are shields even on?
decks 17 and 13, we have confirmed casualties.
11% and dropping. 10%. Shields at 9%.
All remaining power to forward shields.
Prepare shuttles for evacuation.
Hello.
My commander requests the presence of your captain
in order to negotiate a ceasefire.
You will come aboard our ship via shuttlecraft.
Your refusal would be unwise.
Walk with me.
If I don't report in 15 minutes evacuate the crew.
Sir, we could... - There is no outpost out here.
Use autopilot and get off this ship.
Aye captain.
You're captain now, Mr. Kirk.
His heart rate is elevated.
Look at the ship.
Are you familiar with this craft? - Who is your commander?
Is that him? - I will speak for captain Nero.
Then ask captain Nero:
What gives him the right to attack a Federation vessel.
Do you know the location of ambassador Spock?
I'm unfamiliar with ambassador Spock.
What is the current star date? - Star date?
2233.04.
Where are you from?
Terminated.
Sir, they have a lock on our signal. - They're launching again.
Bravo 6 maneuver fire, full spread.
I'm initiating general order 13, we're evacuating.
Sir.
All decks, this is the captain speaking, evacuate the ship immediately.
Get your... to the shuttlecraft. Begin evacuating
That's George's voice. What's happening? - We'll deliver it in the shuttle. Go.
George. - You're OK, thank God.
I have medical shuttle 37 standing by. Get to it now. Can you do that?
Yes. - Everything's gonna be OK.
Do exactly as I say, shuttle 37. - George, it's coming.
Our baby. It's coming now. - I'm on my way.
Autopilot function has been destroyed. Manual operation only.
Clear those decks now. Get to the shuttles. Move. Move. Move.
That was a big one. - Just keep breathing. You'll be fine.
And the baby too, right? - And the baby too.
Right here.
Captain to shuttle 37. Is my wife on board?
Yes sir, she is. - I need you to go now. Do you hear me?
We're waiting on you sir. - No, just go, take off immediately.
That's an order. - Yes sir.
Wait. We're not going yet.
Please stop.
George, the shuttle's leaving. Where are you?
Sweetheart, listen to me. I'm not gonna be there.
No. - This is the only way you'll survive.
Please don't stay on the ship. Come to me here.
The shuttles will never make it if I don't fight them off.
George, I can't do this without you.
OK, I need you to push now.
SYSTEMS FAILING
COLLISION COURSE ENGAGED
What is it? - It's a boy.
A boy?
Tell me about him. - He's beautiful.
George, you should be here.
Impact alert.
What are we gonna call him? - We can name him after your father.
Tiberius, you kiddin' me? No, that's the worst.
Let's name him after your dad. Let's call him Jim.
Jim. OK. Jim it is.
Sweetheart can you hear me? - I can hear
I love you so much.
I love you.
STAR TREK
Hey, are you out of your mind? That car is an antique.
You think you can get away with this just because your mother's off planet.
You get your ass back home now. You live in my...
house buddy. You live in my house and that's my car.
You get one scratch on that car and I'm gonna whip your ass
Hey Johnny.
Citizen, pull over.
Noooo.
Is there a problem officer?
Citizen, what is your name?
My name is James Tiberius Kirk.
What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?
4/3 PI times the radius cubed
1.26
What is the dimensionality...
Dimensionality equals the logarithm of n divided by
non-excludability and non-rivalry
4/3 PI times the radius
is morally praiseworthy but not morally obligatory.
Spock.
I presume you've prepared new insults for today?
Affirmative.
This is your 35th attempt to illicit an emotional...
response from me.
You're neither Human nor Vulcan and therefore have no place in this universe.
Look, his Human eyes. They look sad. Don't they.
Perhaps an emotional response requires physical stimulae.
He's a traitor you know? Your father.
For marrying her. That Human whore.
They called you a traitor.
Emotions run deep within our race.
In many ways more deeply than in humans.
Logic offers a serenity humans seldom experience.
The control of feelings... so that they do not control you.
You suggest that I should be completely Vulcan?
And yet you married a Human.
As ambassador to Earth it is my duty to observe
and understand Human behavior.
Marrying your mother was... logical.
Spock.
You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny.
The question you face is: Which path will you choose?
This is something only you can decide.
Spock. Come here, let me see you.
No. - Spock.
There's no need to be anxious. You'll do fine.
I am hardly anxious, mother.
And fine has variable definitions, fine is unacceptable.
OK.
May I ask a personal query? - Anything.
Should I choose to complete the Vulcan discipline of Kolinahr.
and purge all emotion?
I trust you will not feel it reflects judgment upon you.
Oh Spock.
As always, whatever you choose to be, you will have a proud mother.
You have surpassed the expectations of your instructors.
Your final record is flawless. With one exception.
I see that you have applied to Starfleet as well.
It was logical to cultivate more options.
Logical, but unnecessary. You are hereby accepted to the Vulcan Science Academy.
It is truly remarkable Spock that you have achieved so much
despite your disadvantage.
All rise.
If you would clarify, minister? To what disadvantage are you referring?
Your Human mother.
Council, ministers, I must decline.
No Vulcan has ever declined admission to this Academy.
But as I am half-human, your record remains untarnished.
Spock, you have made a commitment to honor the Vulcan way.
Why did you come before this council today?
Was it to satisfy your emotional need to rebel?
The only emotion I wish to convey is gratitude.
Thank you, ministers, for your consideration.
Live long and prosper.
Hi. - Hey there.
Hi. I'd like a Clabmin fire tea... 3 Budweiser Classics,
2 Cardassian sunrises and
Try the Slusho, it's good. - A Slusho mix, thank you.
That's a lot of drinks for a woman.
And a shot of Jack, straight up. - Make that two. Her shot's on me.
Her shot's on her. Thanks, but no thanks.
Don't you at least wanna know my name before you completely reject me?
I'm fine without it.
You are fine without it. It's Jim, Jim Kirk.
If you don't tell me your name, I'm gonna have to make one up.
It's Uhura. - Uhura? No way.
That's the name I was gonna make up for you.
Uhura what? - Just Uhura.
They don't have last names in your world? - Uhura is my last name.
Well then you have... your first name's Human?
Excuse me buddy. - So, you're a cadet, your studying. What's your focus?
Xenolinguistics. You have no idea what that means.
The study of alien languages. Morphology, phonology, syntax.
Means you've got a talented tongue.
I'm impressed.
a moment I thought you were just a dumb-hair colonial who has sex with farm animals
Well, not only.
This townie isn't bothering you, right?
Oh, beyond belief. But it's nothing I can't handle.
You could've handled me. That's an invitation.
Hey. You better mind your manners. - Oh relax cupcake, it was a joke.
Hey farm boy, maybe you can't count.
There are 4 of us and 1 of you.
So get some more guys and then it'll be an even fight.
Guys. Stop it.
Stop it.
Enough.
Guys, he's had enough.
Outside. All of you.
Now. - Yes, sir.
What... - I just bought a drink.
You all right, son?
You can whistle really loud, you know that?
You know I couldn't believe it when the bartender told me who you are.
Who the hell am I, captain Pike? - Your father's son.
Can I get another one?
For my dissertation I was assigned USS Kelvin.
Something I admired about your dad, he didn't...
believe in no-win scenarios.
Sure learned his lesson.
Well that depends on how you define winning.
You're here, aren't you? - Thanks.
You know that instinct to leap without looking,
that was his nature too
and in my opinion something Starfleet's lost.
Why are you talking to me man?
Because I looked up your file while you were drooling on the floor.
Your aptitude tests are off the charts, so what is it?
You like being the only genius level repeat-offender in the mid-west?
Maybe I love it.
So your dad dies, you can saddle for less than an ordinary life.
Or do you feel that you were meant for something better? Something special?
Enlist in Starfleet. - Enlist?
You guys must be way down on your recruiting quarter for the month.
If you're half the man your father was Jim,
Starfleet could use you.
You can be an officer in 4 years, you can have your own ship in 8.
You understand what the Federation is, don't you? It's important,
It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada.
We done?
I'm done.
Riverside shipyard. Shuttle for new recruits leaves tomorrow - 08:00.
Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes.
He saved 800 lives, including your mother's and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Nice ride man.
It's yours.
4 years? I'll do it in 3.
At ease gentlemen.
Never did get that first name.
You need a doctor. - I told you people,
I don't need a doctor, damn it. I am a doctor.
You need to get back to your seat.
I had one, in the bathroom with no windows.
I suffer from aviofobia. That means fear of dying in something that flies.
Sir, for your own safety, sit down or else I'll make you sit down.
Fine. - Thank you.
This is captain Pike, we've been cleared for takeoff.
I may throw up on you.
I think these things are pretty safe. - Don't pander with me kid.
One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in 13 seconds.
A solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats.
And while you’re sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles,
see if you're still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding.
Space is disease and danger, wrapped in darkness and silence.
Well I hate to break this to you, but Starfleet operates in space.
Yeah, well... I've got nowhere else to go, the ex...
wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce.
All I've got left is my bones.
Jim Kirk. - McCoy. Leonard McCoy.
Three years later.
Captain Nero. You've been requested on the bridge, sir.
Ayel says it's time.
Sir, we've arrived at the coordinates we calculated.
There's nothing here. What are your orders?
We wait.
We wait for the one who allowed our home to be destroyed.
As we've been doing for 25 years.
And once we've killed him? - Kill him?
I'm not gonna kill him. I gonna make him watch.
Capture that ship.
Welcome back, Spock.
Why are you so happy? - I do not know what you're talking about.
No, I don't suppose you do. - Hello ladies.
I'm taking the test again. - You've got to be kidding.
Yeah, tomorrow morning. And I want you there.
You know I've got better things to do than
watch you embarrass yourself for the 3rd time.
I am a doctor, Jim. I'm busy.
Bones, it doesn't bother you that no one’s ever passed the test.
Jim, it's Kobayashi Maru. Nobody passes the test.
And no one goes back for seconds, let alone thirds.
I've gotta study.
Study, my ass.
Jim, I think I love you.
That is so weird. - Lights.
Did you just say that is so weird. - Yeah, I did, but I
You don't love me too?
Oh, no, my roommate.
I thought you said she was gone for the night.
Obviously she's not. Quick, you've got... just get under the bed.
Under...? - Look, just get under the bed. She can't see you.
Why not? - Because I promised her I'd stop bringing guys back to the dorm.
Well how... How many guys have you...? - Just d... just down.
Hey. - Hey. How are you?
Good. - Strangest thing
I was in the long range sensor lab.
Yeah, I thought all night
I was tracking solar systems and I picked up an emergency transmission.
Really? - Yeah.
From a Klingon prison planet.
No. - Yeah.
A Klingon armada was destroyed, 47 ships.
So, you're not going back to the lab tonight?
Gaila, who is he? - Who's who?
The mouth-breather hiding under your bed.
You could hear me breathing? - You.
Big day tomorrow. - You're gonna fail.
Gail, see you around. - Get out.
If I pass will you tell me your first name? - No. Good night.
I think the fact that you picked up a transmission is very impress
We're receiving a distress signal from the USS Kobayashi Maru.
The ship has lost power and is stranded.
Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them.
Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them... captain.
Two Klingon vessels have entered the neutral...
zone and are locking weapons on us.
That's OK. - That's OK?
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Did he say don't worry about it? - Is he not taking the simulation seriously?
Three more Klingon war birds decloaking and targeting our ship.
I don't suppose this is a problem either? - They're firing, captain.
Alert medical bay to prepare to receive
all crew members from the damaged ship
And how do you expect us to rescue them...
when we're surrounded by Klingons, captain?
Alert medical.
Our ship is being hit. Shields at 60%. - I understand.
Should we, I don't know, fight back?
No. - Of course not.
What is this? What's going on?
Hm. Arm photons. Prepare to fire on the Klingon war birds.
Yes, sir. - Jim, their shields are still up.
Are they?
No, they're not. - Fire on all enemy ships.
One photon each should do let's not waste ammunition.
Target locked an acquired on all war birds.
Firing.
All ships destroyed, captain.
Begin rescue of the stranded crew.
So, we've managed to eliminate all enemy ships,
no one on board was injured,
and the successful rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew is under way.
How the hell did that kid beat your test?
I do not know.
This session has been called to resolve a troubling matter.
James T. Kirk, step forward.
Cadet Kirk, evidence has been submitted to this council,
suggesting that you violated the ethical code of conduct
pursuing to regulation 17.43 of the Starfleet code.
Is there anything you care to say before we begin, sir?
Yes. I believe I have the right to face my accuser directly?
Step forward please.
This is commander Spock. He is one of our most distinguished graduates.
He's programmed the Kobayashi Maru exam for the last 4 years.
Commander.
Cadet Kirk, you somehow managed to install...
and activate a subroutine
in the programming code, thereby changing the...
conditions of the test.
Your point being? - In academic vernacular - you cheated.
Let me ask you something I think we all know the answer to.
The test itself is a cheat, isn't it? You programmed it to be unwinnable.
Your argument precludes the ability of a no-win scenario?
I don't believe in no-win scenarios.
Then not only did you violate the rules,
You also failed to understand the principle you...lesson.
Please, enlighten me.
You of all people should know, cadet Kirk, a captain cannot cheat death.
I of all people? - Your father,
It. George Kirk assumed command of his vessel...
before being killed in action, did he not?
I don't think you like the fact that I beat your test.
Further more you have failed to define the purpose of the test
Enlighten me again. - The purpose to experience fear.
Fear in the face of certain death. To accept that fear
and maintain control of oneself and one's crew.
This is a quality expected in every Starfleet captain.
Excuse me, sir.
We've received a distress call from Vulcan.
With our primary fleet engaged in the Laurentian system,
I hereby order all cadets to report to hangar 1 immediately.
Dismissed.
Who was that pointy-eared bastard? - I do not know.
But I like him.
Bracer, USS Farragut.
McCoy, USS Enterprise. McGrath, USS Walcott.
Spader, USS Hood.
Welcome to Starfleet. Godspeed.
He didn't call my name.
Commander, sir, you didn't call my name, Kirk, James T.
Kirk, you're on academic suspension, that means you're grounded
until the academy board rules.
Jim, the board will rule in your favor.
Most likely.
Look Jim, I've gotta go.
Yeah. Yeah, go. Be safe.
Excuse me. - Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
Damn it.
Come with me.
Uhura, USS Farragut. Petrovsky, USS Antares.
Go to your stations and good luck.
Bones, where are we going? - You'll see.
Commander, a word? - Yes, lieutenant?
Was I not one of your top students? - Indeed you were.
And did I not on multiple occasions demonstrate an exceptional oral sensitivity
and I quote 'an unparalleled ability to identify sonic anomalies
in subspace transmission tests'?
Consistently, yes.
And while you were well aware that I'm qualified...
and desire to serve on the USS Enterprise,
I'm assigned to the Farragut?
It was an attempt to avoid the appearance of favoritism.
No. I'm assigned to the Enterprise.
Yes, I believe you are. - Thank you.
What are you doing? - I'm doing you a favor.
I couldn’t just leave you there looking all pathetic. Take a seat.
Let me give you a vaccine against viral infection
from the Ovaran mud flies.
What for? - To give you the symptoms.
What are you talking about? - You're gonna start to lose vision in your left eye.
Yeah, I already have.
Oh, and you're gonna get a really bad headache and flop sweat.
You call this a favor? - Yeah, you owe me one.
Kirk, James T. He is not cleared for duty aboard the Enterprise.
Medical code states the treatment and transport of a patient is to be determined
at the discretion of his attending physician.
Which is me. So I'm taking Mr. Kirk aboard.
Or you would you like to explain to captain Pike
why Enterprise warped into a crisis without one of its senior medical officers?
As you were. - As you were. Come on.
I might throw up on you.
Jim, you've gotta look at this.
Jim, look. - What?
We need to get you changed.
I don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking.
Damn, it's that pointy-eared bastard.
Mr. Spock. - Captain.
Engineering reports ready for launch. - Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, the maiden voyage of our newest flagship
deserves more pompon circumstance that we can afford today.
The christening will just have to be our reward for a safe return.
Carry on.
All decks, this is Captain Pike. Prepare for immediate departure.
Helm, thrusters.
? retracted, captain, dock control reports ready.
Thrusters fired. Separating from space dock.
The fleet's cleared space dock, captain. All ships ready for warp.
Set course for Vulcan. - Aye-aye, captain.
Course laid in.
Maximum warp. Punch it.
Lieutenant, where's helmsmen McKenna? - He has lung worms sir.
He couldn't report to his post.
I'm Hikaru Sulu. - And you are a pilot, right?
Very much so, sir. I'm... I'm not sure what's wrong here.
Is the parking brake on?
No.
I figured it out, I'm just
Have you disengaged the external inertial dampener?
Ready for warp, sir. - Let's punch it.
Where are we? - Medical bay.
This isn't worth it. - A little suffering's good for the soul.
Hi, how are you?
My mouth is itchy. Is that normal? - Well, those symptoms won't last long.
I'm going to give you a mild sedative. - Oh, I wish I didn't know you.
Don't be such an infant.
How long is it supposed to
Unbelievable.
Engines at maximum warp captain.
Russian whiz kid, what's your name? Cheikov? Chirpov?
Ensign Chekov, Pavel Andrejevic, sir. - Fine.
Chekov, Pavel Andrejevic, begin ship wide mission broadcast.
Yes, sir. Happy to.
Ensign authorization code 95 Wictor Wictor 2.
Authorization not recognized.
Ensign authorization code 95 Victor Victor 2.
Access granted.
May I have your attention please.
At 22:00, telemetry detected an anomaly in the neutral zone.
What appeared to be a lightning storm in space.
Soon after, Starfleet received a distress signal from the Vulcan high command
that their planet was experiencing seismic activity.
Our mission is to assess the condition of Vulcan
and assist in evacuations if necessary.
We should be arriving at Vulcan within 3 minutes. Thank you for your time.
Lightning storm.
Aah Jim, you're awake. How do you feel?
Good God, man. - What?
What the hell's this? - A reaction to the vaccine. Damn it.
Nurse Chapel, I need 50cc of cortisone.
May I... Appeared to be a lightning storm in space.
We've gotta stop the ship.
Jim. I'm not kidding. You need to keep your heart rate down.
Computer, locate crew member Uhura.
I haven't seen a reaction this severe since medical school.
We're flying into a trap. - Damn it, Jim. Stand still.
Stop it.
Uhura. - Kirk. What are you doing here?
Transmission from the Klingon prison planet, what exactly did it say?
Oh my God, what's wrong with your hands?
Who is responsible for the Klingon attack?
Was the ship Romu...? - Was the ship what?
What's happening to my mouth? - You got numb tongue?
Numb tongue?. - I can fix that.
Was the ship what? - Romulan.
What? - Romulan.
Romulan? - Yeah. - Yes. - Yeah.
Prod Nero seven Federation ships are on their way.
Jim. - What's going on?
Jim, come back. - Captain.
Captain Pike, sir, we have to stop the ship.
Kirk, how the hell did you get on board the Enterprise?
Captain, this man is under the influence of a...
severe reaction to a vaccine. - Bones, plea
He's completely delusional
Vulcan is not a experiencing a natural disaster,
it's being attacked by Romulans.
Romulans? Cadet Kirk, I think you've had enough attention for one day
McCoy, take him back to medical. We'll have words later.
Aye captain. - Sir, that same anomaly
Mr. Kirk is not cleared to be aboard this vessel, captain
Look, I get it, you're a great
I'd love to do it again with you soon
I can remove the cadet... - Try it.
This cadet is trying to save the bridge.
By recommending a full stop mid-warp doing a rescue mission?
It's not a rescue mission. Listen to me. It's an attack.
Based on what facts?
That same anomaly, a lightning storm in space
that we saw today, also occurred on the day of my birth.
Before a Romulan ship attacked the USS Kelvin.
You know that, sir. I've read your dissertation.
That ship, which had formidable and advanced weaponry
was never seen or heard from again.
The Kelvin attacked a place on the edge of Klingon space.
And at 23:00 last night there was an attack.
47 Klingon war birds destroyed by Romulans, sir.
And it was reported that the Romulans were in one ship, one massive ship.
And you know of this Klingon attack how?
Sir, I intercepted and translated the message myself.
Kirk's report is accurate. - We're warping into a trap, sir.
The Romulans are waiting for us. I promise you that.
The cadet's logic is sound.
And It. Uhura's is unmatched in xenolinguistics.
We would be wise to accept her conclusion.
Scan Vulcan space. Check for any transmissions in Romulan.
Sir, I'm not sure I can distinguish the Romulan language from Vulcan.
What about you? Do you speak Romulan, cadet?
Uhura. All 3 dialects, sir.
Uhura, relieve the lieutenant. - Yes, sir.
Hannity, hail the USS Truman.
All the other ships are out of warp sir and have arrived at Vulcan,
but we seem to have lost all contact.
Sir, I pick up no Romulan transmission or transmission of any kind in the area.
It's because they're being attacked.
Shields up. Red alert.
Arrival at Vulcan in 5 seconds.
4... 3... 2
Emergency evasives. - Running, sir.
Damage report. - Deflector shields are holding.
All stations. Engineering, Olson, report.
Full reverse. Come about starboard, 90°.
Drop us down underneath them, Sulu.
Sir, there's another Federation ship. - Destroy it too.
Fire torpedoes.
Captain, they're locking torpedoes.
Divert auxiliary power from port nossel to forward shields.
Sulu, status report. - Shields at 32%.
Their weapons are powerful, sir. We can't take another hit like that.
Get me Starfleet command. - Captain.
The Romulan ship has lowered some kind of high energy pulse device
into the Vulcan atmosphere.
It's signal appears to be blocking our communications and transporter abilities.
All power to forward shields. Prepare to fire all weapons.
Weapons ready.
Wait.
Gohol, magnify. - Yes, sir.
Captain, we're being hailed.
Hello.
I am the captain Christopher Pike. To whom am I speaking?
Hi Christopher. I am Nero.
You've declared war against the Federation. Withdraw
and I'll agree to arrange a conference with Romulan leadership at a neutral location.
I do not speak for the Empire. We stand apart.
As does your Vulcan crew member. Isn't that right, Spock?
Pardon me, I do not believe that you and I are acquainted.
No, we're not.
Not yet.
Spock, there's something I would like you to see.
Captain Pike, your transporter has been disabled.
As you can see, by the rest of the armada, you have no choice.
You will man a shuttle. Come aboard the Narada for negotiations.
That is all.
They’ll kill you, you know that. - Your survival is unlikely.
Captain, we gain nothing by diplomacy.
Going over to that ship is a mistake.
I too agree. You should rethink your strategy.
I understand that.
I need officers who've been trained in advanced hand to hand combat.
I have training, sir.
Come with me.
Kirk, you too. You're not supposed to be here anyway.
Chekov, you have the con. - Aye, Captain.
Prepare the red matter.
Yes, sir.
Without transporters we can't beam off the ship.
We can't assist Vulcan. We can't do our job.
Mr. Kirk, Mr. Sulu and engineer Olson will space-jump from the shuttle.
You will land on that machine they've lowered into the atmosphere
that's scrambling our gear. You'll get inside, you'll disable it
then you'll beam back to the ship.
Mr. Spock, I'm leaving you in command of the Enterprise.
Once we have transport capability and communication back up
you'll contact Starfleet and report what the hell's going on here.
And if all else fails, fall back
and rendezvous with the fleet in the Laurentian system.
Kirk, I'm promoting you to first officer.
What? - Captain?
Please, I apologize. The complexities of Human pranks escape me.
It's not a prank, Spock.
And I am not the captain, you are.
Let's go.
Sir, after we knock out that drill, what happens to you?
I guess you have to come and get me.
Careful with the ship, Spock. She's brand new.
Dr. Puri, report. - It's McCoy.
Doctor Puri was on deck 6. He's dead.
Then you have just inherited his responsibility as chief medical officer.
Yeah, tell me something I don't know.
Shuttle 89, USS Enterprise, you are clear
You've got the charges, right? - Oh yeah.
Can't wait to kick some Romulan ass.
Yeah. - Oh yeah.
So what kind of combat training do you have?
Fencing.
Pre-jump.
Shuttle commander, you are clear from USS Enterprise
Gentlemen, we're approaching the drop zone.
You have one shot to land on that platform.
They may have defenses, so pull your chute...
as late as possible.
3... 2... 1.
Remember, the Enterprise won't be able to...
beam you back until you've turned off that drill.
Good luck.
Away team is entering the atmosphere, sir.
20000 m.
Approaching the platform at 5800 m.
Kirk to Enterprise. Distance to target 5000 m.
4600 m from the platform.
4100 m to target.
4000 m.
3000 m.
2000 m. Pull the chute.
2000 m. - Pull your chute, Olson.
No, not yet. Not yet.
1500 m. - Open the chute.
Olson, pull your chute. - 1000 m.
Olson.
Olson is gone, sir.
Kirk has landed, sir.
Gimme your hand.
Olson had the charges.
I know.
What do we do? - This.
The jamming signal's gone. Transport abilities are reestablished.
Transporter control is reengaged sir.
Check all gravitational sensors. I wanna know what they were doing to the planet.
Aye, Commander. Captain. Sorry, captain.
The drill's been sabotaged sir but we have reached the planet's core.
Launch red matter.
Kirk to Enterprise. They just launched something...
at the planet through the hole they just drilled.
Do you copy Enterprise? - Yes, sir.
Captain, gravitational sensors are off the scale.
If my calculations are correct, they're creating a singularity
that will consume the planet.
They're creating a black hole at the center of Vulcan?
Yes.
How long does the planet have?
Minutes, sir. Minutes.
Alert Vulcan command center to signal a planet wide evacuation
all channels, all frequencies. - Wait. - Maintain standard orbit.
Yes, sir.
Where are you going?
To evacuate the Vulcan High Council. Their task is to protect our cultural history,
My parents will be among them. - Can't you beam them out?
It is impossible. They will be in the Katric ark.
I must get them myself.
Chekov, you have the con. - Aye.
Kirk to Enterprise. Beam us out of here.
Stand by, locking on your signal.
Retract the drill. Let's move out - Yes, sir.
Pull it up.
I can't lock on to them. Don't move. Don't move.
Sulu.
Hold on.
I've got you. Now pull my chute.
Kirk to Enterprise. We're falling without a chute.
Beam us up. - I'm sorry I can't lock on to your signal.
Beam us up. - You're moving too fast.
I can do that. I can do that.
Take the con. - Aye, sir.
The black hole's expanding. We won't reach...
minimum safe distance if we don't leave immediately.
Move. Move... I can do that. I can do that. Move. Move
Give me manual control, I can lock on. Beam us up.
Enterprise, where are you? - Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Now. Now. Now. Do it now. Now. Now. Now.
Hold on. Hold on. Compensating gravitational pull. Aaand
Gotcha.
Thanks. - No problem.
Clear the pad. I'm beaming to the surface.
The surface of what?
What, you're going down there? Are you nuts?
Spock, you can't do that. - Energize.
Spock? - The planet has only seconds left. We must evacuate.
Mother, now.
