1
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,711
These are sets
from the last couple of Star Trek movies.
2
00:00:55,111 --> 00:00:56,763
You were the ones who said it first.
3
00:00:56,863 --> 00:00:59,879
Star Trek lives.
And live it does.
4
00:00:59,979 --> 00:01:02,403
For over two decades it has.
5
00:01:07,323 --> 00:01:09,409
But now I want to take you back to a time
6
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:12,968
when the Enterprise
and Spock and Kirk and all the rest
7
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:15,155
were just part of an idea I had.
8
00:01:15,733 --> 00:01:18,083
Back to the beginnings of "Star Trek"
9
00:01:18,819 --> 00:01:20,581
To the first star trek pilot,
10
00:01:20,682 --> 00:01:24,210
a pilot being a film that is meant
to demonstrate to a network
11
00:01:24,311 --> 00:01:26,623
what a new series
will look like each week.
12
00:01:26,723 --> 00:01:31,635
This 60 minutes is today considered
something of a television document.
13
00:01:32,115 --> 00:01:36,987
And some regard it as perhaps as exciting
as any "Star Trek" that's since been filmed.
14
00:01:37,155 --> 00:01:39,732
When the network saw
what you soon will see,
15
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:40,943
they rejected it.
16
00:01:41,043 --> 00:01:42,325
From that day until now,
17
00:01:42,426 --> 00:01:45,035
the first pilot has never been seen
in its original form.
18
00:01:45,135 --> 00:01:48,175
This "Star Trek" pilot story
is called "The Cage".
19
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:50,923
"Check the circuit"
"All operating, sir."
20
00:01:51,023 --> 00:01:52,103
"Can't be the screen then."
21
00:01:52,203 --> 00:01:54,981
"It begins on the bridge
of a recognizable starship Enterprise,
22
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:57,656
- "Could be these meteoroids" -
commanded by Captain Christopher Pike,
23
00:01:57,757 --> 00:01:59,835
played by the late Jeff Hunter.
24
00:02:00,515 --> 00:02:01,685
So far so good.
25
00:02:01,786 --> 00:02:03,496
Except that TV in those days,
26
00:02:03,596 --> 00:02:07,183
was at the peak of it's love affair
with the western story.
27
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:08,895
I wanted to sell my series
28
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:11,903
so I promised the network
that my "Star Trek" idea
29
00:02:12,004 --> 00:02:14,431
would be little more
than a space Western,
30
00:02:14,532 --> 00:02:15,911
a wagon train to the stars.
31
00:02:16,011 --> 00:02:19,899
Zap guns instead of six-shooters,
spaceships instead of horses.
32
00:02:20,399 --> 00:02:22,270
But as I began writing that pilot,
33
00:02:22,371 --> 00:02:25,405
I suddenly realised that
here was a chance to do the kind of drama
34
00:02:25,506 --> 00:02:26,975
I'd always dreamed of doing.
35
00:02:27,075 --> 00:02:29,209
I had seen science fiction movies before,
36
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:30,837
but I'd always thought to myself,
37
00:02:30,938 --> 00:02:33,679
not enough characterisation,
not enough motivation.
38
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:37,663
Perhaps I could use this as an excuse
to go to those far off planets,
39
00:02:37,764 --> 00:02:40,103
with little polka-dotted people, if necessary.
40
00:02:40,203 --> 00:02:43,762
And be able to talk about
love, war, nature, God, sex,
41
00:02:43,863 --> 00:02:47,807
all those things that go to make up
the excitement of the human condition.
42
00:02:47,907 --> 00:02:52,083
And maybe the TV censors would let it pass
because it all seemed so make-believe.
43
00:02:53,019 --> 00:02:57,387
So instead of a space Western,
I delivered a very different kind of story.
44
00:03:11,603 --> 00:03:15,090
One which dealt with
the strange dangers of illusion,
45
00:03:15,191 --> 00:03:17,615
the enormous power of imagination,
46
00:03:17,716 --> 00:03:21,732
with whole worlds that could come
from inside people's heads.
47
00:03:38,255 --> 00:03:39,861
"And is if that wasn't enough,
48
00:03:39,962 --> 00:03:43,315
back in those days before the phrase
Women's Lib was ever heard,
49
00:03:43,417 --> 00:03:46,103
I put a woman
second in command of our starship.
50
00:03:46,203 --> 00:03:49,692
On top of which, my script
required our actress, Majel Barrett,
51
00:03:49,793 --> 00:03:53,711
to play this woman as having
a highly superior, computerised mind."
52
00:03:53,811 --> 00:03:55,181
"She does a good job, alright.
53
00:03:55,282 --> 00:03:58,663
It's just that I can't get used
to having a woman on the bridge."
54
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:02,759
"You might have thought
the ladies in our test audience
55
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:04,309
would have appreciated that.
56
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:07,807
Instead their comments were
"Who does she think she is?".
57
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:12,483
"No offence, Lieutenant.
58
00:04:12,584 --> 00:04:15,071
You're...different of course."
59
00:04:18,007 --> 00:04:21,527
And I had written in another character
who wasn't even human,
60
00:04:21,627 --> 00:04:25,995
an alien who looked like Satan himself,
complete with pointy ears.
61
00:04:26,145 --> 00:04:27,238
Was that all?
62
00:04:27,339 --> 00:04:30,216
No, I was uncooperative
in other ways too.
63
00:04:30,315 --> 00:04:33,983
For example no one onboard
the USS Enterprise smoked,
64
00:04:34,083 --> 00:04:38,171
and tobacco advertising was key
to network profits in those days.
65
00:04:38,271 --> 00:04:42,898
Also, I'd refused to cast
our crew "sensibly",
66
00:04:42,999 --> 00:04:44,807
which meant all whites.
67
00:04:44,907 --> 00:04:47,879
And when the network
finally saw the pilot,
68
00:04:47,979 --> 00:04:50,619
some of their executives were outraged.
69
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:52,839
And I can't say I really blame them.
70
00:04:53,139 --> 00:04:55,235
For the considerable money
they had put up,
71
00:04:55,336 --> 00:04:57,831
they certainly did not get
a Western space opera.
72
00:04:57,931 --> 00:05:00,719
In fact nothing even faintly like it.
73
00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:02,220
But this part of the story
74
00:05:02,321 --> 00:05:04,823
isn't as simple as good guys
versus bad guys either.
75
00:05:04,923 --> 00:05:07,126
The network's very top program executive
76
00:05:07,227 --> 00:05:09,368
was impressed by the fact that this film
77
00:05:09,468 --> 00:05:12,527
made him feel as if he'd actually
been flying in a spaceship.
78
00:05:12,627 --> 00:05:15,197
Doing something almost never done before,
79
00:05:15,298 --> 00:05:17,399
the network ordered a second pilot.
80
00:05:17,499 --> 00:05:20,641
And this one had better be
familiar action-adventure...
81
00:05:20,742 --> 00:05:21,955
...or else.
82
00:05:28,543 --> 00:05:31,114
And so the second "Star Trek" pilot
was made.
83
00:05:31,315 --> 00:05:32,475
It was accepted,
84
00:05:32,595 --> 00:05:35,451
and the rest turned into
our shared history.
85
00:05:39,099 --> 00:05:42,719
Well if social fashions change,
economics never do.
86
00:05:42,819 --> 00:05:44,623
By the time we got into the series,
87
00:05:44,724 --> 00:05:46,103
a money crunch was on.
88
00:05:46,203 --> 00:05:48,883
And we folded our pilot
into another story,
89
00:05:48,984 --> 00:05:50,836
which you know as "The Menagerie",
90
00:05:50,937 --> 00:05:52,247
the two part movie.
91
00:05:52,347 --> 00:05:54,614
That's how Captain Kirk
met Christopher Pike,
92
00:05:54,715 --> 00:05:56,191
and learned of his tragic fate.
93
00:05:56,491 --> 00:05:57,945
In the film that follows,
94
00:05:58,046 --> 00:06:00,767
parts are in color,
parts in black and white.
95
00:06:00,867 --> 00:06:02,955
The color footage was used
in "The Menagerie",
96
00:06:03,056 --> 00:06:04,393
the parts that are in black and white
97
00:06:04,494 --> 00:06:06,719
are all that is left from the first pilot.
98
00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:09,967
Now we'll roll the story
that Kirk never saw,
99
00:06:10,168 --> 00:06:12,479
our unseen pilot "The Cage".
100
00:06:12,579 --> 00:06:14,551
And after it's over,
come back -
101
00:06:14,652 --> 00:06:16,159
and there's more to tell.
102
00:07:14,595 --> 00:07:16,497
- Check the circuit.
- All operating, sir.
103
00:07:16,597 --> 00:07:18,531
Can't be the screen, then.
104
00:07:20,534 --> 00:07:23,435
Definitely something out there,
Captain, headed this way.
105
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,841
Could be these meteoroids.
106
00:07:27,941 --> 00:07:30,967
No. It's something else.
There's still something out there.
107
00:07:40,821 --> 00:07:44,018
Coming at speed of light.
Collision course.
108
00:07:58,005 --> 00:08:00,440
The meteoroid beam
has not deflected it.
109
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:03,373
- Evasive maneuvers ?
- Steady as we go.
110
00:08:15,389 --> 00:08:17,291
It's a radio wave, sir.
111
00:08:17,391 --> 00:08:19,655
We're passing through
an old-style distress signal.
112
00:08:21,328 --> 00:08:25,632
They were keyed to cause interference
and attract attention this way.
113
00:08:25,732 --> 00:08:28,635
A ship in trouble making
a forced landing, sir.
114
00:08:28,735 --> 00:08:30,737
- That's it. No other message.
- I have a fix.
115
00:08:30,837 --> 00:08:33,140
It comes from
the Talos Star Group.
116
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,543
We've no ships
or Earth colonies that far out.
117
00:08:36,643 --> 00:08:39,680
Their call letters check with
a survey expedition-- S.S. Columbia.
118
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:42,683
Disappeared in that region
approximately 18 years ago.
119
00:08:42,783 --> 00:08:46,019
It would take that long for a radio
beam to travel from there to here.
120
00:08:46,119 --> 00:08:49,656
Records show the Talos group
has never been explored.
121
00:08:49,756 --> 00:08:52,793
Solar system similar to Earth.
Eleven planets.
122
00:08:52,893 --> 00:08:57,297
Number four seems
to be Class "M"--
123
00:08:57,397 --> 00:08:59,365
Oxygen atmosphere.
124
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,570
They could still be alive
even after 18 years.
125
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:05,472
If they survived the crash.
126
00:09:05,572 --> 00:09:08,242
We aren't going
to go to be certain ?
127
00:09:08,342 --> 00:09:11,278
Not without any indication
of survivors, no.
128
00:09:11,378 --> 00:09:13,780
We'll continue on
to the Vega Colony...
129
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,383
and take care of
our own injured first.
130
00:09:16,483 --> 00:09:18,852
You have the helm.
Maintain present course.
131
00:09:18,952 --> 00:09:20,886
Yes, sir.
132
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,777
Boyce here.
133
00:09:43,877 --> 00:09:45,868
Stop by my cabin, Doctor.
134
00:10:02,662 --> 00:10:04,898
What's that ?
135
00:10:04,998 --> 00:10:08,402
I didn't say there was
anything wrong with me.
136
00:10:08,502 --> 00:10:12,205
I understand we picked up
a distress signal.
137
00:10:12,305 --> 00:10:14,541
That's right.
138
00:10:14,641 --> 00:10:17,044
Unless we get anything
more positive on it,
139
00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:19,980
it seems to me the condition
of our own crew takes precedent.
140
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,949
I'd like to log
the ship's doctor's opinion too.
141
00:10:23,049 --> 00:10:25,719
Oh, I concur with yours,
definitely.
142
00:10:25,819 --> 00:10:27,754
Good. I'm glad you do...
143
00:10:27,854 --> 00:10:31,258
because we're going to stop first
at the Vega Colony...
144
00:10:31,358 --> 00:10:33,393
and replace anybody
who needs hospitalization...
145
00:10:33,493 --> 00:10:35,395
and also--
146
00:10:35,495 --> 00:10:38,398
What in the devil are you
putting in there, ice ?
147
00:10:38,498 --> 00:10:41,058
Who wants a warm martini ?
148
00:10:42,869 --> 00:10:45,772
What makes you think
I need one ?
149
00:10:45,872 --> 00:10:49,142
Sometimes a man will
tell his bartender...
150
00:10:49,242 --> 00:10:52,473
things he'll never
tell his doctor.
151
00:10:55,015 --> 00:10:56,917
What's been
on your mind, Chris,
152
00:10:57,017 --> 00:10:59,519
the fight on Rigel VII ?
153
00:10:59,619 --> 00:11:01,455
Shouldn't it be ?
154
00:11:01,555 --> 00:11:04,458
My only yeoman and two others dead.
Seven injured.
155
00:11:04,558 --> 00:11:06,860
Was there anything you personally
could have done to prevent it ?
156
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,329
I should have smelled trouble
when I saw the swords and the armor.
157
00:11:09,429 --> 00:11:11,631
Instead, I let myself get trapped
in that deserted fortress...
158
00:11:11,731 --> 00:11:13,633
and attacked
by one of their warriors.
159
00:11:13,733 --> 00:11:16,336
Chris, you set standards
for yourself no one could meet.
160
00:11:16,436 --> 00:11:19,439
You treat everyone on board
like a human being except yourself.
161
00:11:19,539 --> 00:11:21,608
Now you’re tired, and you--
162
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:25,245
You bet I'm tired.
You bet.
163
00:11:25,345 --> 00:11:28,415
I'm tired of being
responsible for 203 lives.
164
00:11:28,515 --> 00:11:32,052
I'm tired of deciding which mission
is too risky and which isn't,
165
00:11:32,152 --> 00:11:35,055
and who's going on the landing party
and who doesn't.
166
00:11:35,155 --> 00:11:38,358
And who lives...
167
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:40,392
and who dies.
168
00:11:42,062 --> 00:11:44,030
Well, I've had it, Phil.
169
00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:47,367
To the point of finally
taking my advice of rest leave ?
170
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,992
To the point
of considering resigning.
171
00:11:51,271 --> 00:11:53,306
And do what ?
172
00:11:53,406 --> 00:11:56,170
Well, for one thing, go home.
173
00:11:57,911 --> 00:11:59,813
Nice little town...
174
00:11:59,913 --> 00:12:02,814
with 50 miles
of parkland around it.
175
00:12:04,384 --> 00:12:07,287
Remember I told you
I had two horses ?
176
00:12:07,387 --> 00:12:09,790
We used to take some food
and ride out all day.
177
00:12:09,890 --> 00:12:13,527
That sounds exciting. Ride out
with a picnic lunch every day.
178
00:12:13,627 --> 00:12:16,530
I said that's one place
I might go,
179
00:12:16,630 --> 00:12:19,466
or I'd go into business
on Regulus...
180
00:12:19,566 --> 00:12:22,436
- or on the Orion Colony.
- You, an Orion trader,
181
00:12:22,536 --> 00:12:24,838
dealing in green animal
women slaves ?
182
00:12:24,938 --> 00:12:27,741
The point is this isn't
the only life available.
183
00:12:27,841 --> 00:12:29,743
There's a whole galaxy
of things to choose from.
184
00:12:29,843 --> 00:12:32,038
Not for you.
185
00:12:33,847 --> 00:12:36,883
A man either lives life
as it happens to him,
186
00:12:36,983 --> 00:12:38,885
meets it head on
and licks it,
187
00:12:38,985 --> 00:12:41,421
or he turns
his back on it...
188
00:12:41,521 --> 00:12:43,457
and starts to wither away.
189
00:12:43,557 --> 00:12:47,294
Now you're beginning to talk
like a doctor, Bartender.
190
00:12:47,394 --> 00:12:51,765
Take your choice. We both get
the same kinds of customers--
191
00:12:51,865 --> 00:12:54,390
The living and the dying.
192
00:13:00,507 --> 00:13:02,342
Mister Spock here.
193
00:13:02,442 --> 00:13:04,344
We're intercepting
a follow-up message, sir.
194
00:13:04,444 --> 00:13:07,072
There are crash survivors
on Talos.
195
00:13:13,019 --> 00:13:15,121
"Eleven survivors from crash.
196
00:13:15,221 --> 00:13:17,157
"Gravity and oxygen
within limits.
197
00:13:17,257 --> 00:13:19,826
Food and water obtainable.
But unless--"
198
00:13:19,926 --> 00:13:22,451
The message faded
at that point, sir.
199
00:13:33,006 --> 00:13:36,510
- Address inner craft.
- System open.
200
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:41,348
This is the captain. Our destination
is the Talos Star Group.
201
00:13:41,448 --> 00:13:44,815
Our time warp--
factor seven.
202
00:13:48,288 --> 00:13:50,757
Course computed
and on the screen.
203
00:13:50,857 --> 00:13:52,792
All decks have
acknowledged, sir.
204
00:13:52,892 --> 00:13:54,757
Engage.
205
00:14:33,533 --> 00:14:35,467
On course, sir.
206
00:14:41,341 --> 00:14:43,310
- Yeoman ?
- Yes, sir.
207
00:14:43,410 --> 00:14:45,145
I thought I told you
when I'm on the bridge--
208
00:14:45,245 --> 00:14:47,347
That you wanted
the reports by 0500.
209
00:14:47,447 --> 00:14:49,472
It's 0500 now, sir.
210
00:14:52,752 --> 00:14:54,743
Oh. I see.
211
00:14:56,056 --> 00:14:57,990
Thank you.
212
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:08,435
She's replacing
your former yeoman, sir.
213
00:15:08,535 --> 00:15:10,437
No, she does a good job,
all right.
214
00:15:10,537 --> 00:15:13,165
It’s just that I can't get used
to having a woman on the bridge.
215
00:15:17,944 --> 00:15:20,213
No offense, Lieutenant.
216
00:15:20,313 --> 00:15:22,213
You're different,
of course.
217
00:15:39,566 --> 00:15:41,557
We've settled into orbit, sir.
218
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:46,172
Geological lab report
complete, Captain.
219
00:15:46,272 --> 00:15:48,675
- Preliminary lab survey ready, sir.
- Spectrography ?
220
00:15:48,775 --> 00:15:51,044
Our readings shows
an oxygen nitrogen atmosphere.
221
00:15:51,144 --> 00:15:53,146
Heavy with inert elements,
but well within safety limits.
222
00:15:53,246 --> 00:15:55,148
- Gravity ?
- 0.9 alert.
223
00:15:55,248 --> 00:15:58,513
Captain ? Reflections, sir,
from the planet's surface.
224
00:16:01,087 --> 00:16:04,958
As I read it, they polarize out
as rounded metal bits.
225
00:16:05,058 --> 00:16:06,960
Could be parts
of a spaceship hull.
226
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:10,196
Equip a landing party of six.
You feel up to it ?
227
00:16:10,296 --> 00:16:12,287
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
228
00:16:15,969 --> 00:16:19,706
Sorry, Number One.
Little information on this planet.
229
00:16:19,806 --> 00:16:22,942
We'll have to leave the ship's most
experienced officer covering it.
230
00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:25,237
Of course, sir.
231
00:16:38,725 --> 00:16:41,728
No indication of problems down there,
but let's not take any chances.
232
00:16:41,828 --> 00:16:44,064
Yes, sir. There's
a canyon to the left.
233
00:16:44,164 --> 00:16:46,332
We can set you down there
completely unobserved.
234
00:16:46,432 --> 00:16:48,366
Right.
235
00:18:50,924 --> 00:18:52,858
Sir.
236
00:19:08,508 --> 00:19:11,144
They're men.
237
00:19:11,244 --> 00:19:13,212
They're humans.
238
00:19:17,383 --> 00:19:20,587
Captain Christopher Pike.
United Spaceship Enterprise.
239
00:19:20,687 --> 00:19:24,257
Dr. Theodore Haskins.
American Continent Institute.
240
00:19:24,357 --> 00:19:26,726
- Is Earth all right ?
- The same old Earth,
241
00:19:26,826 --> 00:19:27,961
and you'll see it very soon.
242
00:19:28,061 --> 00:19:29,963
And you won't believe
how fast you can get back.
243
00:19:30,063 --> 00:19:33,396
The time barrier’s been broken.
Our new ships can--
244
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:46,346
This is Vina.
245
00:19:46,446 --> 00:19:50,041
Her parents are dead.
She was born almost as we crashed.
246
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:39,499
- Enterprise.
- Landing party, come in.
247
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:41,868
We'll begin transporting
the survivors...
248
00:20:41,968 --> 00:20:43,870
and their effects
up to you very shortly.
249
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:45,872
Quarters are being
prepared, sir.
250
00:20:45,972 --> 00:20:48,207
Have I permission to send out
scouting and scientific parties now ?
251
00:20:48,307 --> 00:20:50,366
That's affirmative on--
252
00:20:51,644 --> 00:20:56,349
You appear to be healthy
and intelligent, Captain.
253
00:20:56,449 --> 00:20:58,451
Prime specimen.
254
00:20:58,551 --> 00:21:01,788
I didn't get that last
message, Captain.
255
00:21:01,888 --> 00:21:05,085
Uh, affirmative on request.
256
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:08,061
Landing party out.
257
00:21:08,161 --> 00:21:10,630
You must forgive her choice
of words, Captain.
258
00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:14,600
She's lived her whole life with
a collection of aging scientists.
259
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,136
If they can spare you
a moment,
260
00:21:17,236 --> 00:21:19,205
I'd like to make
my medical report.
261
00:21:19,305 --> 00:21:22,542
I think it's time to show
the captain our secret.
262
00:21:22,642 --> 00:21:25,445
Their health is excellent,
263
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:28,748
- almost too good.
- There's a reason for our condition,
264
00:21:28,848 --> 00:21:33,052
but we've had some doubt if Earth
is ready to learn the secret.
265
00:21:33,152 --> 00:21:36,212
Let the girl show you.
We'll accept your judgment.
266
00:21:55,241 --> 00:21:57,143
You're tired, but don't worry.
267
00:21:57,243 --> 00:21:59,177
You'll feel much better soon.
268
00:22:09,288 --> 00:22:11,279
Don't you see it ?
269
00:22:13,126 --> 00:22:15,560
Here and here.
270
00:22:18,431 --> 00:22:20,400
I don't understand.
271
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:24,630
You will.
You're a perfect choice.
272
00:22:41,954 --> 00:22:43,888
Captain !
273
00:23:48,621 --> 00:23:50,490
Spock here.
274
00:23:50,590 --> 00:23:52,425
Landing party, come in.
275
00:23:52,525 --> 00:23:55,661
There is no survivors'
encampment, Number One.
276
00:23:55,761 --> 00:23:58,664
This is all
some sort of trap.
277
00:23:58,764 --> 00:24:00,666
We've lost the captain.
278
00:24:00,766 --> 00:24:02,631
Do you read ?
279
00:25:47,006 --> 00:25:49,742
Can you hear me ?
280
00:25:49,842 --> 00:25:52,578
My name is
Christopher Pike,
281
00:25:52,678 --> 00:25:55,081
commander of the space
vehicle Enterprise...
282
00:25:55,181 --> 00:25:57,308
from the stellar group
at the other end of this galaxy.
283
00:25:59,251 --> 00:26:02,888
Our intentions are peaceful.
Can you understand me ?
284
00:26:02,988 --> 00:26:04,890
It appears, Magistrate,
285
00:26:04,990 --> 00:26:08,761
that the intelligence of
the specimen is shockingly limited.
286
00:26:08,861 --> 00:26:11,297
This is no surprise
since his vessel...
287
00:26:11,397 --> 00:26:13,299
was baited so easily
with a simulated message.
288
00:26:13,399 --> 00:26:15,601
As you can read
in its thoughts,
289
00:26:15,701 --> 00:26:19,071
it is only now beginning to suspect
that the survivors and encampment...
290
00:26:19,171 --> 00:26:21,307
were a simple illusion
we placed in their minds.
291
00:26:21,407 --> 00:26:23,309
You're not speaking,
yet I can hear you.
292
00:26:23,409 --> 00:26:26,579
You will note the confusion as
it reads our thought transmissions.
293
00:26:26,679 --> 00:26:28,581
All right, then.
Telepathy.
294
00:26:28,681 --> 00:26:31,350
You can read my mind.
I can read yours.
295
00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:33,419
Now, unless you want my ship
to consider...
296
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:34,854
capturing me an unfriendly act--
297
00:26:34,954 --> 00:26:37,946
You now see the primitive
fear-threat reaction.
298
00:26:39,859 --> 00:26:42,895
The specimen is about to
boast of his strength,
299
00:26:42,995 --> 00:26:46,299
the weaponry of his vessel
and so on.
300
00:26:46,399 --> 00:26:48,501
Next...
301
00:26:48,601 --> 00:26:51,103
frustrated into a need
to display physical prowess,
302
00:26:51,203 --> 00:26:53,831
the creature will throw himself
against the transparency.
303
00:27:01,447 --> 00:27:02,748
If you were in here...
304
00:27:02,848 --> 00:27:05,518
wouldn't you test the strength
of these walls too ?
305
00:27:05,618 --> 00:27:07,953
There's a way out of any cage,
and I'll find it.
306
00:27:08,053 --> 00:27:10,823
Despite its frustration, the
creature appears more adaptable...
307
00:27:10,923 --> 00:27:13,359
than our specimens
from other planets.
308
00:27:13,459 --> 00:27:15,825
We can soon begin
the experiment.
309
00:27:19,598 --> 00:27:23,202
The inhabitants of this planet
must live deep underground.
310
00:27:23,302 --> 00:27:26,305
Probably manufacture food
and other needs down there.
311
00:27:26,405 --> 00:27:29,342
Now, our tests indicate
the planet's surface...
312
00:27:29,442 --> 00:27:31,844
without considerably
more vegetation or some animals,
313
00:27:31,944 --> 00:27:33,846
simply too barren
to support life.
314
00:27:33,946 --> 00:27:37,083
So we just thought
we saw survivors there, Mr. Spock.
315
00:27:37,183 --> 00:27:41,020
Exactly. An illusion, placed in our
minds by this planet's inhabitants.
316
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:43,022
It was
a perfect illusion.
317
00:27:43,122 --> 00:27:46,158
They had us seeing
Just what we wanted to see--
318
00:27:46,258 --> 00:27:49,061
Humans beings who survived
with dignity and bravery.
319
00:27:49,161 --> 00:27:52,665
Everything entirely logical, right
down to the building of the camp.
320
00:27:52,765 --> 00:27:55,968
The tattered clothing,
everything.
321
00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:59,472
Now, let's be sure we understand
the danger of this.
322
00:27:59,572 --> 00:28:02,108
The inhabitants of this planet
can read our minds.
323
00:28:02,208 --> 00:28:04,710
They can create illusions
out of a person's...
324
00:28:04,810 --> 00:28:06,712
own thoughts,
memories and experiences.
325
00:28:06,812 --> 00:28:09,548
Even out of a person's
own desires.
326
00:28:09,648 --> 00:28:12,318
The illusion’s just as real
and solid as this table top...
327
00:28:12,418 --> 00:28:14,320
and just as
impossible to ignore.
328
00:28:14,420 --> 00:28:17,890
Any estimate what they
might want one of us for ?
329
00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:19,892
They may simply
be studying the captain,
330
00:28:19,992 --> 00:28:22,661
to find how Earth people
are put together,
331
00:28:22,761 --> 00:28:24,764
or it could be something more.
332
00:28:24,864 --> 00:28:26,432
Why aren’t we doing anything ?
333
00:28:26,532 --> 00:28:29,201
That entry may have stood up
against hand lasers,
334
00:28:29,301 --> 00:28:31,203
but we can transmit
the ship's power against it,
335
00:28:31,303 --> 00:28:32,738
enough to blast half a continent.
336
00:28:32,838 --> 00:28:34,340
Look.
337
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,676
Brains three times
the size of ours.
338
00:28:37,776 --> 00:28:40,246
If we start buzzing
about down there,
339
00:28:40,346 --> 00:28:42,848
we're liable to find
their mental power is so great,
340
00:28:42,948 --> 00:28:45,284
they could reach out and swat
this ship as though it were a fly.
341
00:28:45,384 --> 00:28:48,421
It's Captain Pike they've got.
He needs help.
342
00:28:48,521 --> 00:28:50,853
And he probably needs it fast.
343
00:28:55,728 --> 00:28:58,330
Engineering deck will rig
to transmit ship's power.
344
00:28:58,430 --> 00:29:00,864
We'll try blasting
through that metal.
345
00:29:24,223 --> 00:29:26,125
Thousands of us
are already probing...
346
00:29:26,225 --> 00:29:27,760
the creature's thoughts,
Magistrate.
347
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:31,897
We find excellent
memory capacity.
348
00:29:31,997 --> 00:29:34,433
I read most strongly
a recent death struggle...
349
00:29:34,533 --> 00:29:37,670
in which it fought
to protect its life.
350
00:29:37,770 --> 00:29:39,805
We will begin with this,
351
00:29:39,905 --> 00:29:43,705
giving the specimen something
more interesting to protect.
352
00:30:01,994 --> 00:30:05,931
Come on ! We must hide ourselves.
353
00:30:06,031 --> 00:30:08,465
Come. Come.
354
00:30:10,169 --> 00:30:12,905
Hurry ! It's deserted.
355
00:30:13,005 --> 00:30:15,374
There'll be weapons
and perhaps food.
356
00:30:15,474 --> 00:30:17,533
This is Rigel VII.
357
00:30:18,677 --> 00:30:20,779
Please ! We must
hide ourselves.
358
00:30:20,879 --> 00:30:26,051
I was in a cage, a cell,
in some kind of a zoo.
359
00:30:26,151 --> 00:30:28,521
- I must still be there.
- Come on !
360
00:30:28,621 --> 00:30:30,256
They've reached into my mind...
361
00:30:30,356 --> 00:30:32,258
and taken the memory
of somewhere I've been.
362
00:30:32,358 --> 00:30:35,895
The killer !
363
00:30:35,995 --> 00:30:39,089
It's starting just as it
happened two weeks ago.
364
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,334
Except for you.
365
00:31:05,324 --> 00:31:08,494
Longer hair, different dress,
but it is you.
366
00:31:08,594 --> 00:31:11,461
The one the survivors called Vina.
367
00:31:13,065 --> 00:31:15,935
Or rather the image of Vina.
But why you again ?
368
00:31:16,035 --> 00:31:18,026
Why didn't they create
a different girl ?
369
00:31:28,347 --> 00:31:32,618
Quick ! If you attack
while it's not looking--
370
00:31:32,718 --> 00:31:36,051
But it's only a dream.
371
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,997
You have to kill him,
as you did here before.
372
00:31:45,097 --> 00:31:47,032
You can tell my jailors
I won't go along with it.
373
00:31:47,132 --> 00:31:49,034
I'm not an animal
performing for its supper.
374
00:31:49,134 --> 00:31:51,503
It doesn't matter
what you call this. You'll feel it.
375
00:31:51,603 --> 00:31:53,606
That what matters.
376
00:31:53,706 --> 00:31:55,640
You'll feel every moment
of whatever happens to you.
377
00:32:09,588 --> 00:32:13,319
Please ! Don't you know
what he'll do to us ?
378
00:32:59,805 --> 00:33:01,707
Why would an illusion
be frightened ?
379
00:33:01,807 --> 00:33:04,643
Because that's the way
you imagined me.
380
00:33:04,743 --> 00:33:07,513
Who are you ? You act as if
this were real to you.
381
00:33:07,613 --> 00:33:09,103
Careful !
382
00:34:15,915 --> 00:34:17,849
It's over.
383
00:34:32,665 --> 00:34:35,334
Why are you here ?
384
00:34:35,434 --> 00:34:37,269
To please you.
385
00:34:37,369 --> 00:34:39,772
Are you real ?
386
00:34:39,872 --> 00:34:43,909
- As real as you wish.
- Oh, no.
387
00:34:44,009 --> 00:34:47,346
No, that's not any answer.
388
00:34:47,446 --> 00:34:49,882
I've never met you before,
never even imagined you.
389
00:34:49,982 --> 00:34:53,719
Perhaps they made me out of dreams
you've forgotten.
390
00:34:53,819 --> 00:34:57,656
And dressed you in
the same metal fabric they wear ?
391
00:34:57,756 --> 00:35:02,090
Well, I have to wear
something, don't I ?
392
00:35:03,629 --> 00:35:05,531
Or I can wear
whatever you wish...
393
00:35:05,631 --> 00:35:07,967
or be anything you wish.
394
00:35:08,067 --> 00:35:11,670
So they can see
how their specimen performs ?
395
00:35:11,770 --> 00:35:13,672
They want to see how I react.
Is that it ?
396
00:35:13,772 --> 00:35:16,942
Don't you have a dream,
397
00:35:17,042 --> 00:35:19,545
something you've always
wanted very badly ?
398
00:35:19,645 --> 00:35:21,747
Or do they do more
than just watch me ?
399
00:35:21,847 --> 00:35:25,351
Do they feel with me too ?
400
00:35:25,451 --> 00:35:29,288
You can have
whatever dream you want.
401
00:35:29,388 --> 00:35:31,323
I can become anything,
402
00:35:31,423 --> 00:35:34,994
any woman
you've ever imagined.
403
00:35:35,094 --> 00:35:38,222
You can have anything you want
in the whole universe.
404
00:35:39,298 --> 00:35:41,200
Let me...
405
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:43,234
please you.
406
00:35:44,303 --> 00:35:46,605
Yes, yes,
you can please me.
407
00:35:46,705 --> 00:35:49,642
You can tell me about them.
408
00:35:49,742 --> 00:35:52,344
Is there any way I can keep them
from probing my mind...
409
00:35:52,444 --> 00:35:54,503
and from using my thoughts
against me ?
410
00:35:57,016 --> 00:35:59,718
Does that frighten you ?
411
00:35:59,818 --> 00:36:02,753
Does that mean there is a way ?
412
00:36:04,289 --> 00:36:06,191
You're a fool !
413
00:36:06,291 --> 00:36:08,527
Since you're not real,
there's not much point...
414
00:36:08,627 --> 00:36:10,595
in continuing this
conversation, is there ?
415
00:36:19,671 --> 00:36:21,974
All circuits engaged,
Mr. Spock.
416
00:36:22,074 --> 00:36:24,008
Standing by, Number One.
417
00:36:25,144 --> 00:36:29,048
- Take cover.
- Ten, nine,
418
00:36:29,148 --> 00:36:32,718
eight, seven, six,
419
00:36:32,818 --> 00:36:34,753
five, four,
420
00:36:34,853 --> 00:36:37,617
three, two, one.
421
00:36:53,072 --> 00:36:56,439
Increase to full power.
422
00:37:11,523 --> 00:37:14,390
Can you give us any more ?
423
00:37:24,603 --> 00:37:27,800
Our circuits are beginning to heat.
We'll have to cease power.
424
00:37:30,409 --> 00:37:32,468
Disengage !
425
00:37:46,959 --> 00:37:49,695
The top of that knoll should've
been sheared off the first second.
426
00:37:49,795 --> 00:37:53,899
Maybe it was. It's what I tried
to explain in the briefing room.
427
00:37:53,999 --> 00:37:55,901
Their power of illusion
is so great,
428
00:37:56,001 --> 00:37:59,869
we can't be sure of anything
we do or anything we see.
429
00:38:06,879 --> 00:38:09,581
Perhaps...
430
00:38:09,681 --> 00:38:13,674
if you asked me
some questions I could answer.
431
00:38:15,554 --> 00:38:19,458
How far can they
control my mind ?
432
00:38:19,558 --> 00:38:23,062
If I tell you, then will you pick
some dream you've had...
433
00:38:23,162 --> 00:38:26,465
and let me live it with you ?
434
00:38:26,565 --> 00:38:28,500
Perhaps.
435
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,103
They can't actually make you do
anything you don't want to do.
436
00:38:31,203 --> 00:38:33,138
But they try to trick me
with their illusions.
437
00:38:33,238 --> 00:38:35,140
And they can punish you
when you're not cooperative.
438
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,003
You'll find out about that.
439
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:40,979
Did they ever live
on the surface of this planet ?
440
00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:44,583
Why do they
go underground?
441
00:38:44,683 --> 00:38:46,852
War-- thousands
of centuries ago.
442
00:38:46,952 --> 00:38:48,787
That's why
it's so barren up there ?
443
00:38:48,887 --> 00:38:51,824
The planet's only now becoming
able to support life again.
444
00:38:51,924 --> 00:38:55,794
So the Talosians who came
underground found life limited here,
445
00:38:55,894 --> 00:38:58,897
and they concentrated on
developing their mental power.
446
00:38:58,997 --> 00:39:01,133
But they found it's a trap,
447
00:39:01,233 --> 00:39:03,068
like a narcotic.
448
00:39:03,168 --> 00:39:07,206
Because when dreams become
more important than reality,
449
00:39:07,306 --> 00:39:10,642
you give up travel,
building, creating.
450
00:39:10,742 --> 00:39:13,545
You even forget how to repair...
451
00:39:13,645 --> 00:39:15,547
the machines left behind
by your ancestors.
452
00:39:15,647 --> 00:39:19,852
You just sit, living
and reliving other lives...
453
00:39:19,952 --> 00:39:21,920
left behind
in the thought record.
454
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:24,923
As in probing the minds
of zoo specimens, like me.
455
00:39:25,023 --> 00:39:26,692
You're better
than the theater to them.
456
00:39:26,792 --> 00:39:28,360
They create an illusion for you.
457
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:31,730
They watch you react,
feel your emotions.
458
00:39:31,830 --> 00:39:34,333
They have a whole collection
of specimens,
459
00:39:34,433 --> 00:39:36,835
descendants of life
brought back long ago...
460
00:39:36,935 --> 00:39:39,872
from all over
this part of the galaxy.
461
00:39:39,972 --> 00:39:44,568
Which means they had to have
more than one of each animal.
462
00:39:46,445 --> 00:39:49,014
- Please.
- They'll need a pair of humans too.
463
00:39:49,114 --> 00:39:51,016
Where do they intend
to get the earth woman ?
464
00:39:51,116 --> 00:39:53,652
You said that if I answered
your questions--
465
00:39:53,752 --> 00:39:56,355
But that was a bargain
with something that didn't exist.
466
00:39:56,455 --> 00:39:59,618
You said you weren't
real, remember ?
467
00:40:01,793 --> 00:40:05,197
I'm a woman,
468
00:40:05,297 --> 00:40:08,824
as real and as human
as you are.
469
00:40:10,636 --> 00:40:13,906
We're like Adam and eve.
470
00:40:14,006 --> 00:40:16,241
If we--
471
00:40:16,341 --> 00:40:20,471
Don't, please !
Don't punish me !
472
00:41:16,101 --> 00:41:21,506
The vial contains
a nourishing protein complex.
473
00:41:21,606 --> 00:41:24,843
Is the keeper actually communicating
with one of his animals ?
474
00:41:24,943 --> 00:41:28,947
If the form and the color
is not appealing,
475
00:41:29,047 --> 00:41:33,919
it can appear as any food
you wish to visualize.
476
00:41:34,019 --> 00:41:36,722
- And if I prefer--
- to starve ?
477
00:41:36,822 --> 00:41:41,418
You overlook the unpleasant
alternative of punishment.
478
00:42:01,313 --> 00:42:05,617
From a fable
you once heard in childhood.
479
00:42:05,717 --> 00:42:08,311
You will now consume
the nourishment.
480
00:42:09,688 --> 00:42:14,259
Why not just put
irresistible hunger in my mind ?
481
00:42:14,359 --> 00:42:16,261
'Cause you can't,
can you ?
482
00:42:16,361 --> 00:42:18,263
You do have limitations,
don't you ?
483
00:42:18,363 --> 00:42:20,599
If you continue
to disobey,
484
00:42:20,699 --> 00:42:22,634
from deeper in your mind,
485
00:42:22,734 --> 00:42:25,635
there are things
even more unpleasant.
486
00:42:45,924 --> 00:42:49,494
- That's very interesting.
- Now to the female.
487
00:42:49,594 --> 00:42:52,230
You were startled.
Weren't you reading my mind then ?
488
00:42:52,330 --> 00:42:56,234
As you've conjectured, an Earth
vessel did crash on our planet,
489
00:42:56,334 --> 00:42:58,437
but with only a single survivor.
490
00:42:58,537 --> 00:43:00,639
Let's stay
on the first subject.
491
00:43:00,739 --> 00:43:03,909
All I wanted for that moment was
to get my hands around your neck.
492
00:43:04,009 --> 00:43:06,178
We repaired
the survivor's injuries...
493
00:43:06,278 --> 00:43:08,680
and found the species
interesting.
494
00:43:08,780 --> 00:43:11,083
Do primitive thoughts put up
a block you can't read through ?
495
00:43:11,183 --> 00:43:13,852
It became necessary
to attract a mate.
496
00:43:13,952 --> 00:43:16,755
All right, all right.
Let's talk about the girl.
497
00:43:16,855 --> 00:43:19,725
You seem to be
going out of your way...
498
00:43:19,825 --> 00:43:22,194
to make her attractive
to make me feel protective.
499
00:43:22,294 --> 00:43:25,630
This is necessary in order
to perpetuate the species.
500
00:43:25,730 --> 00:43:28,834
It seems more important
to you now...
501
00:43:28,934 --> 00:43:31,336
that I begin
to accept her and like her.
502
00:43:31,436 --> 00:43:35,140
We wish our specimens
to be happy in their new life.
503
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:37,743
Assuming that's a lie,
504
00:43:37,843 --> 00:43:39,945
why would you want me
attracted to her ?
505
00:43:40,045 --> 00:43:44,116
So I'll feel love and
a husband/wife relationship ?
506
00:43:44,216 --> 00:43:47,018
Well, that would be necessary only if
you intend to build a family group...
507
00:43:47,118 --> 00:43:49,287
or perhaps a whole
human community.
508
00:43:49,387 --> 00:43:52,691
With the female now
properly conditioned.
509
00:43:52,791 --> 00:43:55,460
You mean properly punished !
510
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,296
I'm the one who's not cooperating.
Why don't you punish me ?
511
00:43:58,396 --> 00:44:02,701
First an emotion
of protectiveness,
512
00:44:02,801 --> 00:44:05,871
now one of sympathy.
513
00:44:05,971 --> 00:44:07,905
Excellent.
514
00:44:16,715 --> 00:44:18,842
Do you want some coffee, dear?
515
00:44:27,993 --> 00:44:30,621
I left the Thermos
hooked to my saddle.
516
00:44:46,611 --> 00:44:48,547
Tango !
517
00:44:48,647 --> 00:44:51,616
You old devil you !
518
00:44:51,716 --> 00:44:53,650
I'm sorry.
I don't have any su--
519
00:44:57,522 --> 00:44:59,888
Well, they think
of everything, don't they ?
520
00:45:03,028 --> 00:45:05,428
Hey! The coffee.
521
00:45:12,537 --> 00:45:14,172
Is it good to be home ?
522
00:45:14,272 --> 00:45:17,042
They read our minds very well.
523
00:45:17,142 --> 00:45:21,179
Home, anything else I want,
if I cooperate. Is that it ?
524
00:45:21,279 --> 00:45:24,349
Have you forgotten
my headaches, darling ?
525
00:45:24,449 --> 00:45:26,751
I get them when you talk
strangely like this.
526
00:45:26,851 --> 00:45:29,254
I'm sorry they punish you,
but we can't let them--
527
00:45:29,354 --> 00:45:32,414
My, it turned out to be
a lovely day, didn't it ?
528
00:45:36,127 --> 00:45:39,164
It's funny.
Just about 24 hours ago,
529
00:45:39,264 --> 00:45:41,433
I was telling the ship's doctor
how much I wanted something...
530
00:45:41,533 --> 00:45:45,237
not very different
from what we have here.
531
00:45:45,337 --> 00:45:47,239
An escape from reality,
532
00:45:47,339 --> 00:45:49,474
a life with no frustrations,
533
00:45:49,574 --> 00:45:52,477
no responsibilities.
534
00:45:52,577 --> 00:45:54,846
And now that I have it,
I understand the doctor's answer.
535
00:45:54,946 --> 00:45:58,316
I hope you're hungry.
These little white sandwiches...
536
00:45:58,416 --> 00:46:01,119
are your mother's recipe
for chicken tuna.
537
00:46:01,219 --> 00:46:03,889
'Cause you either live life--
538
00:46:03,989 --> 00:46:05,924
bruises, skinned knees and all--
539
00:46:06,024 --> 00:46:08,822
or you turn your back on it
and start dying.
540
00:46:13,865 --> 00:46:16,368
Well, the doctor's going to be happy
about one part of it at least--
541
00:46:16,468 --> 00:46:18,370
He said I needed a rest.
542
00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:21,339
Well, this is
a lovely place to rest.
543
00:46:21,439 --> 00:46:25,443
Yeah, I used to ride
through here when I was a kid.
544
00:46:25,543 --> 00:46:30,815
Not as pretty as some of the parks
around the big cities, but--
545
00:46:30,915 --> 00:46:32,817
That's Mojave.
That's where I was born.
546
00:46:32,917 --> 00:46:36,011
That's supposed to
be news to your wife ?
547
00:46:42,327 --> 00:46:45,730
You're home.
You can even stay if you want.
548
00:46:45,830 --> 00:46:49,701
Wouldn't it be nice showing your
children where you once played ?
549
00:46:49,801 --> 00:46:53,004
These headaches.
They'll be hereditary, you know.
550
00:46:53,104 --> 00:46:55,574
Would you wish them on a child
or a whole group of children ?
551
00:46:55,674 --> 00:46:58,610
- That's foolish.
- Is it ?
552
00:46:58,710 --> 00:47:00,879
Look,
553
00:47:00,979 --> 00:47:04,416
first they made me protect you,
and then feel sympathy for you.
554
00:47:04,516 --> 00:47:06,985
And now we have these
familiar surroundings...
555
00:47:07,085 --> 00:47:10,622
and a comfortable
husband/wife relationship.
556
00:47:10,722 --> 00:47:13,224
They don't need all this
for just passion.
557
00:47:13,324 --> 00:47:16,528
What they're after is respect
and mutual dependence.
558
00:47:16,628 --> 00:47:18,597
They say in the olden days,
559
00:47:18,697 --> 00:47:22,334
all this was desert,
blowing sand and cactus.
560
00:47:22,434 --> 00:47:24,936
But we're not here,
neither of us !
561
00:47:25,036 --> 00:47:27,973
- We're in a menagerie, a cage.
- No !
562
00:47:28,073 --> 00:47:30,642
I can't help either one of us
if you won't give me a chance.
563
00:47:30,742 --> 00:47:34,312
Now, you told me once
they used illusions as a narcotic.
564
00:47:34,412 --> 00:47:38,216
They couldn't even repair the
machines left by their ancestors.
565
00:47:38,316 --> 00:47:40,986
Is that why they want us,
to build a colony of slaves ?
566
00:47:41,086 --> 00:47:43,521
Stop it !
567
00:47:43,621 --> 00:47:45,724
Don't you care
what they'll do to us ?
568
00:47:45,824 --> 00:47:48,426
Back in my cage, it seemed
for a couple of minutes...
569
00:47:48,526 --> 00:47:50,462
that our keeper couldn't
read my thoughts.
570
00:47:50,562 --> 00:47:52,864
Do emotions like hate--
571
00:47:52,964 --> 00:47:54,866
keeping hate in your mind--
572
00:47:54,966 --> 00:47:57,161
does that block off
our mind from them ?
573
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:00,843
Yes.
574
00:48:00,943 --> 00:48:04,914
They can’t read
through primitive emotions.
575
00:48:05,014 --> 00:48:09,251
But you can't keep it up
for long enough. I've tried.
576
00:48:09,351 --> 00:48:12,822
They keep at you and at you,
year after year,
577
00:48:12,922 --> 00:48:14,824
tricking and punishing.
578
00:48:14,924 --> 00:48:17,159
And they won.
579
00:48:17,259 --> 00:48:19,853
They own me.
580
00:48:23,523 --> 00:48:26,593
I know you must
hate me for that.
581
00:48:26,693 --> 00:48:29,543
Oh, no,
I don't hate you.
582
00:48:29,643 --> 00:48:32,373
I can guess
what it was like.
583
00:48:32,787 --> 00:48:34,689
But that's not enough.
584
00:48:34,789 --> 00:48:36,924
Don't you see ?
585
00:48:37,024 --> 00:48:40,728
They read my thoughts,
my feelings,
586
00:48:40,828 --> 00:48:44,899
my dreams of what would be
the perfect man.
587
00:48:44,999 --> 00:48:47,058
That's why they picked you.
588
00:48:49,303 --> 00:48:53,207
I can't help but love you,
589
00:48:53,307 --> 00:48:55,877
and they expect you
to feel the same way.
590
00:48:55,977 --> 00:49:00,815
If they can read my mind,
then they know I'm attracted to you.
591
00:49:00,915 --> 00:49:04,578
I was from the first moment
I saw you in the survivors' camp.
592
00:49:08,695 --> 00:49:10,597
A curious species.
593
00:49:10,697 --> 00:49:13,900
They have fantasies
they hide even from themselves.
594
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,670
I'm beginning to see why
none of this has worked for you.
595
00:49:16,770 --> 00:49:20,840
You've been home
and fighting, as on Rigel.
596
00:49:20,940 --> 00:49:22,609
That's not new
to you, either.
597
00:49:22,709 --> 00:49:25,245
A person's strongest dreams...
598
00:49:25,345 --> 00:49:27,847
are about what he can't do.
599
00:49:27,947 --> 00:49:30,884
Yes. A ship 's captain--
600
00:49:30,984 --> 00:49:33,553
always having to be so formal,
601
00:49:33,653 --> 00:49:36,289
so decent and honest
and proper.
602
00:49:36,389 --> 00:49:40,587
You must wonder what it would
be like to forget all that.
603
00:49:58,511 --> 00:50:00,877
Nice place you have here,
Mr. Pike.
604
00:50:11,491 --> 00:50:13,459
Vina.
605
00:50:15,261 --> 00:50:19,099
Glistening green,
almost like secret dreams...
606
00:50:19,199 --> 00:50:22,134
a bored ship captain
might have.
607
00:50:28,041 --> 00:50:30,010
Funny how they are
on this planet--
608
00:50:30,110 --> 00:50:32,305
actually like being
taken advantage of.
609
00:50:59,873 --> 00:51:03,176
Suppose you had all
of space to choose from...
610
00:51:03,276 --> 00:51:06,012
and this was
only one small sample ?
611
00:51:06,112 --> 00:51:09,548
Wouldn't you say
it was worth a man's soul ?
612
00:52:12,145 --> 00:52:14,247
Now, we've located
a magnetic field.
613
00:52:14,347 --> 00:52:16,449
Seems to come from
their underground generator.
614
00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:18,574
But could that
be an illusion too ?
615
00:52:22,055 --> 00:52:24,657
Well, you all know
the situation.
616
00:52:24,757 --> 00:52:28,228
We're hoping to transport
down inside the Talosian community.
617
00:52:28,328 --> 00:52:31,598
If our measurements and
readings are an illusion also,
618
00:52:31,698 --> 00:52:34,434
one could find oneself
materialized inside solid rock.
619
00:52:34,534 --> 00:52:37,935
Nothing will be said if
any volunteer wants to back out.
620
00:52:55,622 --> 00:52:57,556
The women !
621
00:53:10,937 --> 00:53:13,573
Captain !
622
00:53:13,673 --> 00:53:15,842
Captain.
623
00:53:15,942 --> 00:53:20,046
No ! Let me finish !
624
00:53:20,146 --> 00:53:22,682
But we were a party of six.
625
00:53:22,782 --> 00:53:24,684
We were the only ones
transported.
626
00:53:24,784 --> 00:53:26,775
It's not fair.
You don't need them.
627
00:53:33,893 --> 00:53:35,261
They don't work.
628
00:53:35,361 --> 00:53:37,295
They were fully charged
when we left.
629
00:53:39,799 --> 00:53:42,302
It's dead.
I can't make a signal.
630
00:53:42,402 --> 00:53:45,064
- What is it ?
- Don't-Don't say anything.
631
00:53:47,307 --> 00:53:49,242
I'm filling my mind
with a picture...
632
00:53:49,342 --> 00:53:52,812
of beating their huge,
misshapen heads to pulp !
633
00:53:52,912 --> 00:53:55,982
Thoughts so primitive,
they black out everything else.
634
00:53:56,082 --> 00:53:58,117
I'm filling my mind
with hate !
635
00:53:58,217 --> 00:54:01,888
How long can you block your
thoughts, a few minutes, an hour ?
636
00:54:01,988 --> 00:54:05,592
- How can that help ?
- Leave him alone.
637
00:54:05,692 --> 00:54:09,062
He doesn't need you.
He's already picked me.
638
00:54:09,162 --> 00:54:11,831
Picked her ? For what ?
I don't understand.
639
00:54:11,931 --> 00:54:16,269
Now, there's a fine choice
for intelligent offspring.
640
00:54:16,369 --> 00:54:18,705
Offspring ?
As in children ?
641
00:54:18,805 --> 00:54:22,742
Offspring as in he's Adam.
Is that it ?
642
00:54:22,842 --> 00:54:24,744
You're no better choice.
643
00:54:24,844 --> 00:54:27,836
They'd have more luck
crossing him with a computer.
644
00:54:29,582 --> 00:54:31,885
Well, shall we do
a little time computation ?
645
00:54:31,985 --> 00:54:35,588
There was a Vina listed on
that expedition as an adult crewman.
646
00:54:35,688 --> 00:54:38,919
Now, adding 18 years
to your age then--
647
00:54:45,465 --> 00:54:48,332
It's not fair !
I did what you asked !
648
00:54:49,902 --> 00:54:52,138
Since you resist
the present specimen,
649
00:54:52,238 --> 00:54:54,140
you now have a selection.
650
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:57,877
I'll break out of
this zoo somehow and get to you.
651
00:54:57,977 --> 00:55:01,781
Is your blood red like ours ?
I'm going to find out.
652
00:55:01,881 --> 00:55:06,152
Each of the two new specimens
has qualities in her favor.
653
00:55:06,252 --> 00:55:09,255
The female you call Number One
has the superior mind...
654
00:55:09,355 --> 00:55:11,925
and would produce highly
intelligent children.
655
00:55:12,025 --> 00:55:15,828
Although she seems to lack emotion,
this is largely a pretense.
656
00:55:15,928 --> 00:55:18,765
She often has fantasies
involving you.
657
00:55:18,865 --> 00:55:21,901
All I want to do
is get my hands on you.
658
00:55:22,001 --> 00:55:24,103
Can you read
these thoughts--
659
00:55:24,203 --> 00:55:26,306
images of hate, killing ?
660
00:55:26,406 --> 00:55:29,976
The other new arrival
has considered you unreachable,
661
00:55:30,076 --> 00:55:32,578
but now is realizing
this has changed.
662
00:55:32,678 --> 00:55:36,049
The factors in her favor
are youth and strength,
663
00:55:36,149 --> 00:55:39,719
plus unusually strong
female drives.
664
00:55:39,819 --> 00:55:42,422
You'll find my thoughts
more interesting,
665
00:55:42,522 --> 00:55:45,124
thoughts so primitive,
you can't understand,
666
00:55:45,224 --> 00:55:48,022
emotions so--
667
00:55:53,032 --> 00:55:55,601
Wrong thinking is punishable.
668
00:55:55,701 --> 00:55:58,805
Right thinking will be
as quickly rewarded.
669
00:55:58,905 --> 00:56:02,773
You will find it
an effective combination.
670
00:56:12,085 --> 00:56:15,688
- Captain.
- No. Don't help me.
671
00:56:15,788 --> 00:56:18,191
I have to concentrate.
672
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:20,782
They can't read through hate.
673
00:56:30,803 --> 00:56:34,040
- Address inner craft.
- Open, sir.
674
00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:37,710
This is the acting captain speaking.
We have no choice now...
675
00:56:37,810 --> 00:56:40,913
but to consider the safety of this
vessel and the remainder of the crew.
676
00:56:41,013 --> 00:56:43,082
We're leaving.
677
00:56:43,182 --> 00:56:46,519
All decks prepare
for hyper drive.
678
00:56:46,619 --> 00:56:48,187
Time warp factor.
679
00:56:48,287 --> 00:56:50,414
Mr. Spock, the ship's controls
have gone dead !
680
00:56:52,658 --> 00:56:55,762
- Engine room, Mr. Spock here.
- Open.
681
00:56:55,862 --> 00:56:57,764
Switch to rockets.
We're blasting out.
682
00:56:57,864 --> 00:57:00,233
All systems are out, bridge.
We've got nothing.
683
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:02,267
There's nothing.
Every system aboard is fading out !
684
00:57:37,499 --> 00:57:41,026
Hold still, or I'll--
Hold still, or I'll break--
685
00:57:41,499 --> 00:57:43,401
Don't hurt them.
They don't mean to be evil.
686
00:57:43,501 --> 00:57:46,129
I've had some samples
of how good they are.
687
00:57:57,949 --> 00:58:02,045
You stop this illusion,
or I'll twist your head off !
688
00:58:09,295 --> 00:58:11,530
All right.
689
00:58:11,630 --> 00:58:14,033
You try one more illusion,
you try anything at all,
690
00:58:14,133 --> 00:58:16,202
I'll break your neck.
691
00:58:16,302 --> 00:58:18,471
Your ship.
692
00:58:18,571 --> 00:58:21,474
Release me,
693
00:58:21,574 --> 00:58:24,475
or we'll destroy it.
694
00:58:32,785 --> 00:58:34,687
Nothing. If not
for the batteries,
695
00:58:34,787 --> 00:58:37,423
we'd lose
gravitation, oxygen.
696
00:58:37,523 --> 00:58:39,718
The computers !
697
00:58:46,265 --> 00:58:48,467
I can't shut it off !
It's running through our library.
698
00:58:48,567 --> 00:58:52,438
Tapes, micro records, everything.
It doesn't make sense !
699
00:58:52,538 --> 00:58:55,029
Could be we've
waited too long.
700
00:58:57,276 --> 00:58:59,912
They're collecting
all the information stored.
701
00:59:00,012 --> 00:59:02,037
They've decided to swat us.
702
00:59:04,116 --> 00:59:06,685
He's not bluffing, Captain.
703
00:59:06,785 --> 00:59:09,388
With illusion, they can make your
crew work the wrong controls...
704
00:59:09,488 --> 00:59:12,218
or push any button it takes
to destroy your ship.
705
00:59:14,226 --> 00:59:16,262
I'm gonna gamble
you're too intelligent...
706
00:59:16,362 --> 00:59:18,455
to kill for your reason.
707
00:59:33,145 --> 00:59:35,281
On the other hand,
I've got a reason.
708
00:59:35,381 --> 00:59:38,984
I'm willing to bet you've created
an illusion this laser is empty.
709
00:59:39,084 --> 00:59:41,153
I think it just blasted
a hole in that window,
710
00:59:41,253 --> 00:59:43,155
and you're keeping us
from seeing it.
711
00:59:43,255 --> 00:59:45,519
You want me to test
my theory on your head ?
712
00:59:47,459 --> 00:59:50,223
Captain !
713
01:00:29,868 --> 01:00:32,037
Make contact, Number One.
714
01:00:32,137 --> 01:00:36,369
They kept us from seeing this too.
We cut through and never knew it.
715
01:00:37,609 --> 01:00:39,543
Captain !
716
01:00:42,948 --> 01:00:44,850
As you see,
717
01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:47,686
your attempt to escape
accomplished nothing.
718
01:00:47,786 --> 01:00:49,688
I want to contact our ship.
719
01:00:49,788 --> 01:00:54,593
You are now on the surface,
where we wished you to be.
720
01:00:54,693 --> 01:00:57,096
With the female
of your choice,
721
01:00:57,196 --> 01:01:00,833
you will now begin
carefully guarded lives.
722
01:01:00,933 --> 01:01:02,668
And start by burying you ?
723
01:01:02,768 --> 01:01:06,205
That is your choice.
724
01:01:06,305 --> 01:01:08,941
To help you reclaim
the planet's surface,
725
01:01:09,041 --> 01:01:12,811
our zoological gardens will
furnish a variety of plant life.
726
01:01:12,911 --> 01:01:14,715
I'll make a deal with you--
727
01:01:14,815 --> 01:01:17,618
You and your life for
the lives of these two earth women.
728
01:01:17,718 --> 01:01:21,054
Since our life span
is many times yours,
729
01:01:21,154 --> 01:01:23,557
we have time to evolve you...
730
01:01:23,657 --> 01:01:27,561
into a society trained to serve
as artisans, technicians--
731
01:01:27,661 --> 01:01:29,863
Do you understand
what I'm saying ?
732
01:01:29,963 --> 01:01:31,865
You give me proof
that our ship is all right,
733
01:01:31,965 --> 01:01:35,059
send these two back
and I'll stay with Vina.
734
01:01:41,975 --> 01:01:45,512
It's wrong to create a whole race
of humans to live as slaves.
735
01:01:45,612 --> 01:01:48,482
Is this a deception ?
736
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:50,884
Do you intend to
destroy yourselves ?
737
01:01:50,984 --> 01:01:51,952
What is that ?
738
01:01:52,052 --> 01:01:53,487
The weapon
is building up an overload--
739
01:01:53,587 --> 01:01:56,290
A force chamber explosion.
740
01:01:56,390 --> 01:01:59,993
You still have time
to get underground.
741
01:02:00,093 --> 01:02:01,958
Well, go on !
742
01:02:06,233 --> 01:02:09,136
And just to show you how
primitive humans are, Talosian,
743
01:02:09,236 --> 01:02:12,573
you go with her.
744
01:02:12,673 --> 01:02:16,143
If-If you all think
it's this important,
745
01:02:16,243 --> 01:02:19,246
then I can't go, either.
746
01:02:19,346 --> 01:02:23,180
I suppose if they have one
human being, they might try again.
747
01:02:27,287 --> 01:02:29,016
Wait !
748
01:02:33,593 --> 01:02:36,463
Their method
of storing records is crude...
749
01:02:36,563 --> 01:02:38,865
and consumed much time.
750
01:02:38,965 --> 01:02:41,092
Are you prepared
to assimilate it ?
751
01:02:56,350 --> 01:02:59,553
We had not believed
this possible.
752
01:02:59,653 --> 01:03:02,289
The customs and history
of your race...
753
01:03:02,389 --> 01:03:06,393
show a unique hatred
of captivity.
754
01:03:06,493 --> 01:03:11,398
Even when it's pleasant and
benevolent, you prefer death.
755
01:03:11,498 --> 01:03:16,436
This makes you too violent and
dangerous a species for our needs.
756
01:03:16,536 --> 01:03:20,374
He means that
they can’t use you.
757
01:03:20,474 --> 01:03:22,567
You're free to go
back to the ship.
758
01:03:26,146 --> 01:03:28,080
And that's it ?
759
01:03:29,649 --> 01:03:31,985
No apologies.
760
01:03:32,085 --> 01:03:34,321
You captured one of us,
threatened all of us.
761
01:03:34,421 --> 01:03:40,060
Your unsuitability has condemned
the Talosian race to eventual death.
762
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,162
Is this not sufficient ?
763
01:03:42,262 --> 01:03:45,799
No other specimen has
shown your adaptability.
764
01:03:45,899 --> 01:03:47,968
You were our last hope.
765
01:03:48,068 --> 01:03:53,640
But wouldn't some form of trade,
mutual cooperation--
766
01:03:53,740 --> 01:03:56,843
Your race would learn
our power of illusion...
767
01:03:56,943 --> 01:03:58,877
and destroy itself too.
768
01:04:00,013 --> 01:04:02,538
Captain, we have
transporter control now.
769
01:04:09,456 --> 01:04:11,390
Let's get back to the ship.
770
01:04:17,097 --> 01:04:20,867
I can't. I can't go with you.
771
01:04:20,967 --> 01:04:23,537
Sir, it just came on.
We can't shut the power off.
772
01:04:23,637 --> 01:04:25,539
Mr. Spock here.
773
01:04:25,639 --> 01:04:28,870
All power has come on, Mr. Spock.
The helm is answering the control.
774
01:04:55,101 --> 01:04:57,035
The captain.
775
01:05:33,773 --> 01:05:36,943
You see why
I can't go with you ?
776
01:05:37,043 --> 01:05:40,308
This is the female's
true appearance.
777
01:05:41,748 --> 01:05:44,785
They found me
in the wreckage...
778
01:05:44,885 --> 01:05:48,588
dying, a lump of flesh.
779
01:05:48,688 --> 01:05:52,993
They rebuilt me.
Everything works,
780
01:05:53,093 --> 01:05:56,630
but they had
never seen a human.
781
01:05:56,730 --> 01:06:02,191
They had no guide for
putting me back together.
782
01:06:18,084 --> 01:06:20,353
It was necessary
to convince you...
783
01:06:20,453 --> 01:06:22,589
her desire to stay
is an honest one.
784
01:06:22,689 --> 01:06:25,826
You'll give her back
her illusion of beauty ?
785
01:06:25,926 --> 01:06:27,860
And more.
786
01:06:52,452 --> 01:06:56,289
She has an illusion,
and you have reality.
787
01:06:56,389 --> 01:07:00,018
May you find your way
as pleasant.
788
01:07:06,633 --> 01:07:09,227
Mr. Spock, the system
is coming on again.
789
01:07:29,289 --> 01:07:31,725
- What's happened to Vina ?
- Isn't she coming with us ?
790
01:07:31,825 --> 01:07:34,227
No.
791
01:07:34,327 --> 01:07:36,921
No, and I agreed
with her reasons.
792
01:07:47,641 --> 01:07:50,377
- Hold on a minute.
- No, I feel fine. Just fine.
793
01:07:50,477 --> 01:07:52,379
Yeah, you look 100% better.
794
01:07:52,479 --> 01:07:54,381
You recommended a rest, and
a change of pace, didn't you ?
795
01:07:54,481 --> 01:07:56,917
- Mm-hmm.
- I've even been home.
796
01:07:57,017 --> 01:07:59,076
Does that make you happy ?
797
01:08:01,388 --> 01:08:03,290
- Yeoman ?
- Yes, sir.
798
01:08:03,390 --> 01:08:06,893
I thought I told you that
when I'm on the bridge, l--
799
01:08:06,993 --> 01:08:10,096
Oh. Oh, yes,
the-the reports.
800
01:08:10,196 --> 01:08:12,365
Thank you.
801
01:08:12,465 --> 01:08:15,235
Sir, I was wondering--
802
01:08:15,335 --> 01:08:18,638
Just curious--
who would have been Eve ?
803
01:08:18,738 --> 01:08:21,875
Yeoman ! You've
delivered your report.
804
01:08:21,975 --> 01:08:24,239
Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir.
805
01:08:27,714 --> 01:08:29,648
Eve, sir ?
806
01:08:31,184 --> 01:08:33,118
Yes, sir.
807
01:08:36,156 --> 01:08:38,454
Eve as in Adam ?
808
01:08:40,860 --> 01:08:44,523
As in all ships' doctors
are dirty old men.
809
01:08:45,932 --> 01:08:48,335
What are we running here,
a cadet ship, Number One ?
810
01:08:48,435 --> 01:08:52,005
-Are we ready or not ?
- All decks show ready, sir.
811
01:08:52,105 --> 01:08:54,039
Engage.
812
01:09:51,435 --> 01:09:52,969
I just wanted to share with you
813
01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:54,861
something that may lift your spirits,
814
01:09:54,962 --> 01:09:56,951
as it did mine those many years ago.
815
01:09:57,051 --> 01:10:00,090
All that nonsense about
the dangers of mixed races
816
01:10:00,191 --> 01:10:01,799
living together on a spaceship,
817
01:10:01,899 --> 01:10:03,065
or anywhere...
818
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:04,521
And how some parts of our country
819
01:10:04,622 --> 01:10:06,791
were certain to refuse
to televise "Star Trek"
820
01:10:06,892 --> 01:10:08,463
because we showed such things.
821
01:10:08,619 --> 01:10:11,208
The hatred that would
supposedly flood our mail,
822
01:10:11,309 --> 01:10:13,159
turning sponsors against us.
823
01:10:13,419 --> 01:10:14,831
In all the years of "Star Trek",
824
01:10:15,032 --> 01:10:17,895
we never received
so much as one such letter.
825
01:10:18,095 --> 01:10:19,315
Not one.
826
01:10:26,595 --> 01:10:30,479
"Humans are capable of so much more
than we yet understand.
827
01:10:30,579 --> 01:10:32,162
We're really something.
828
01:10:32,363 --> 01:10:34,327
Star Trek fans believe that.
829
01:10:34,655 --> 01:10:36,399
And so do I.
830
01:10:40,707 --> 01:10:41,984
For us...
831
01:10:42,085 --> 01:10:43,422
No limits.
832
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Re-sync and cosmetic editing of
