Captain's log, stardate 6563.4.

A nascent singularity has been reported
near the uninhabited Cressida system.

The Federation has assigned a
gravitational wave engineer

to the Enterprise for our investigation.

Are we there yet?

Not yet.

Are we close?

Mr. Chekov?

Approaching Cressida 2 now, sir.

Take us out of warp, Mr. Sulu.

Aye, sir. Switching to impulse.

What the blazes?

I'm detecting a significant
gravimetric field, sir.

Stronger than we anticipated.

There's no guarantees with black holes.

Sensors confirm a massive
shift in this system.

The event horizon has consumed
planets 3 through 8.

In 10 days?

It is possible an inter
phasic rift has thinned

...the structure of space
time in this region.

I'd say that's our cue to
hightail it outta here.

No! Jim!

"Captain." We are here
to study the effects of

singularities on space time.

With all due respect, we
nearly lost the captain to

a dimensional kill-zone
like this a year ago.

Scott to bridge.
Captain, it's taking every ounce of our engines

...to maintain this position.

Understood.
Just hold her together, Scotty.

Samara, how long do you need
to finish your assessment?

Six hours, minimum.

Captain, an unusual reading nearby.

What kind of reading?

Lieutenant, I am attempting to

...extrapolate the data
into audible sound.

That's no engine.

Uhura, can you speed it up?

That's a heartbeat.

Confirmed. One set of life
signs on Cressida 2's moon.

The moon's destabilizing, sir!

Spock, can we get a transporter
lock on that life form?

Still detecting faint life signs.

I think we can rule out the moon.

Sulu.

Magnify the primary hull.

The Defiant?

Affirmative. The ship's wave
signature is out of phase

from when we last encountered it.

And life support has been reestablished.

Life support?

There was no one left alive on board!

There is now.

Spock. This time, if anything
happens while I'm away...

I shall...

...secure the
safety of the Enterprise.

Jinx.

Captain.

I must protest. I should be
investigating that rift.

Your protest is noted.

If that ship fades away with me in it

I'm gonna come back and haunt
the whole lot of you.

Energize.

Kirk to Enterprise.
The bridge is empty.

It was filled with dead crewmen
the last time I was here.

Captain, maybe we can
examine the ship's logs.

...Figure out what happened.

- Transferring.
- Scott to captain.

Somebody's been souping up the engines.

She'll make at least warp 15 now.

- Warp 15?
- Cutting in, captain.

Go ahead, Bones.

You should've listened when I said
we should hightail it outta here.

- Why?
- Come see for yourself.

On my way.

What is it, doctor?

Space. The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the
Starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission:

to explore strange new worlds.

To seek out new life and
new civilizations.

To boldly go where no
man has gone before.

Captain's log, supplemental.
We've returned from the Defiant...

...at least some version of the
Defiant...

...with a cryonically-preserved man on board.
A familiar man.

Jim... He's you.

That's impossible. A clone, maybe?

I did a full DNA scan.
No genetic drift. He's you, all right

just much older.

I don't understand...

Let's give 'em some room to work, lass.

Bones. How long to, uh...

De-ice him? Not sure.
I'll let you know when I do.

Captain, my research theorizes that

rogue singularities can
pass through realities

move from universe to universe.

Spock, what do the logs show?

They are encrypted.
But from what we've managed to decipher

...apparently the Defiant discovered
this so-called "black hole"

as it phased into our reality.
The ship, however,

is unable to complete its transfer.

So she's stuck.

Half here, half there.

And you say she can manage warp 15?

Aye. According to the engineering logs

her engines have been modified
over a long period of time.

But we just saw her a year ago.

Time is not an absolute, captain.

It is, as Einstein surmised, relative.

In whatever space the
Defiant has been

time obviously moves more rapidly.

But if the man we found
was the only one alive

on the ship, then who
overhauled the engines?

He insisted on seeing everyone.

Scotty.

Cap'n... is that really you?

Eh, last time I looked in the
mirror... whenever that was.

How are you so young?

All this time... I
thought you'd left me.

I thought I'd never see you or
the Enterprise ever again.

You are mistaken.
That would never happen.

I don't expect a hug.

Is this really necessary?

It is for now.

Jim?

Avi?

Avi Samara?

Ms. Samara arrived a few days ago.

I'd given up hope of seeing you

all of you... a long time ago.

But you're him. How?

No clue. I thought I was abandoned.

Nobody was abandoned... as
you can see for yourself.

What's the last thing
you remember before we

before you thought we'd left you?

You were beaming me
back to the Enterprise

and for a moment, everything
was transparent.

And then you were gone,

and I was back on the Defiant.

I managed to reactivate life support

right before my oxygen ran out.

That's not possible.

Unless... a divergence field!

Such a phenomenon is
purely hypothetical.

That's the only plausible
explanation, Mr. Spock.

Two Defiants. Two Jim Kirks.
I don't know where "our" Defiant went

but when it was in inter phasic space

it must have been duplicated.

And so was the captain.

How long?

Based on physiological age?
Sixty-odd years.

Two-hundred seventeen.

Perhaps two-hundred eighteen.

I was put in cryo most of that time.

Put in cryo?
How could you be "put" in cryo?

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Kirk here. Go ahead, Sulu.

Captain, a Klingon vessel has
just entered the system.

Go to yellow alert.

Spock. You and Scotty get to
the nuclear electronics lab.

Run a full subspace scan on the Defiant.

Find me some answers.

Samara.

It's a D7 battle cruiser, captain.

They're holding position
off our port bow.

The Klingons are instructing
us to leave the sector.

They claim salvage rights
over the Defiant.

Any record of a Klingon claim
to the Cressida system?

None, sir.

Send the following reply
from Enterprise:

The Federation recognizes no such...

What the hell...?

I don't know, sir.
But that phaser blast

...went right through their shields!

Their power grid's offline and
they've lost attitude control.

They're being drawn into the black hole!

- Can we get a tractor beam on them?
- We're too far, captain.

Where did that phaser fire come from?

It didn't come from us, sir.
That's for sure.

Well, if we didn't fire...

But... there's no one on board!

Uhura.

Open a channel to that ship.

Captain?

It's good to see you. All of you.

Patch me through to the Defiant.

Tiberius!

Jim. What are you doing?

Ti...

We were wrong.

Wrong?

They didn't leave me.

They didn't leave me.

Don't trust them, Jim. Please.

Another Kirk?

How many of us are there?

I am the protector of James Kirk.

I AM James Kirk.

There was an anomaly. Your entire
ship, including your version of me,

...is a copy. We didn't
know he existed until now.

He's telling the truth, Ti.

"Tiberius"?

Given the extended timeframe involved

it's possible the
Defiant's computer developed

rudimentary multitronic circuits.

Artificial intelligence.

I saved your life.
I took care of you.

You kept me sane.

Yes. We have been closest friends.
Don't leave your friend for them.

Tiberius! If Jim is your friend

why did we find him
unconscious in Cryostasis?

We wandered for over two centuries.

He would have died if I hadn't preserved
him until I could get him home.

I AM home! Thanks to you.

Jim, don't leave me.

Ti, please.

Send my friend back!

Captain, the Defiant's
weapons are charging.

Red alert.

Ti! Don't do this!

Torpedo detonation 500 meters
off our starboard bow.

If he's trying to get our
attention, mission accomplished.

Charge phaser banks.

Phasers ready.

- Fire.
- No! You can't give him the power!

- What are you talking about?
- It feeds the dark... the dark...!

Let's get you back to sickbay!

Captain?

I'll explain later... if I can.
Sulu, get us out of here.

Wait! The black hole's event
horizon... It's expanded.

Confirmed. The Defiant's torpedo
compromised our position.

If we move...

We'll be drawn in.

You're trapped, Enterprise.

Lieutenant, can the Defiant
leave the system?

No. That would require further
expansion of the rift, sir.

You hear that, Tiberius?

You can't fire on us without
hurting your captain.

And we can't fire on you
without risking my crew.

So why don't we call a truce?
Share resources... knowledge.

Maybe we all leave here safely.

I'm not interested in your safety
after what you did to my friend.

Your "friend" is in pain. Why?

I did what I needed to... to save him.
When I found him

he was as young as you.
Now he's a shadow of his former self.

Take care. A shadow can be larger
than the man that casts it.

Close channel.

Spock?

Ms. Samara's hypothesis was correct.

The Defiant is a precise duplicate
of the vessel we previously

encountered, as is the other James Kirk.

He is, for all intents
and purposes, real.

Sir, we can't stay here too long.

We're being bombarded by
Hawking radiation.

Kirk to Scott. Can we allocate
more power to the shield grid?

Aye, but I found something
I think you should see.

Meet me in sickbay.

Sulu, you have the conn.

Captain...

I need you here on the bridge
studying the rift, Avi.

If anyone can get us out of here
on a wing and a prayer, it's you.

Aye -- it's a bonnie piece
o' tech, all right.

Neural interface;
self-charging power cell.

You think it's the answer?

Answer to what?
Where's your patient?

My patient is with
Dr. McKennah.

There's nothing physically wrong
with him. He's just old.

And this wee devil. We found it
in the Defiant's cryo tube.

It is forbidden to remember. Know you are safe.

The dark will send us home.
It is forbidden to remember.

Know you are safe.
The dark will fulfill your directive.

Fascinating. A subliminal transceiver.

A brainwashing device.

Probably triggered a pain
response whenever the captain

the other captain... tried
to remember something.

Something he'd been told to forget.

But he's away from it now.

He's been conditioned, Jim.
The effects are long-lasting.

I could synthesize a theragen
derivative to help him overcome it

but I'll need to know
more about this device.

Aye.

It's almost as if Tiberius is
trying to protect the old man.

Jim, are you listening to yourself?

"Old man." "My patient." "Our guest."
What happened to "captain" or "Jim"?

How would you feel, Bones?
Seeing another you

an older you... standing
right in front of you?

Years of pain,

loss, loneliness

on your face. In your eyes.

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Kirk here, Sulu.

Sir, we've managed to decrypt some
of the Defiant's visual logs.

On our way.

Ship's log, stardate... unknown.

I've managed to
re-establish life support.

But I think the Enterprise is gone.

I am marooned here.

There's enough food and power on
this ship for an entire crew.

Should last me indefinitely.

The Defiant personnel, all
dead, deserve proper burials.

Seems only fitting I take
them to the transporter room

...and beam them into space.

Burial at sea.

Ship's log.

Stardate...

The Enterprise isn't coming back.

My friends left me here.

I'm reprogramming the ship's computer.

Giving it a new prime directive:

To get me home.

He's developing a personality.

I tell him stories, we play chess...
He's imprinting on me.

As if one Jim Kirk wasn't enough.

Thirty-one years.

Twenty-seven parsecs of

of nothing!

Jim, it's all right.

We'll break through. We'll get you
home. It's just a matter of time.

McCoy would have told you...

"Time."

I have nothing but "time."

What is it?

Just remembering something.

A poem

I treasured when I was young.

"Is this the hill?"

"Is this the kirk?"

"And I with sobs did pray..."

"O, let me be awake,
my God, or let me sleep alway."

The Ancient Mariner.

Adrift in a wasteland.

And yet you survived.

If you call this "surviving."

Four months.

It took me four months to carry them.

Every crewman.

To carry every crewman
on the ship down...

to the...

Remember...

After his ordeal, the old mariner

was given a second chance...
to remind others

not to lose faith or hope.

Counselor.

How is he?

As we can only imagine.

All those years alone.

Everything that defines you and
gives you purpose torn away.

Your sole companion... a computerized
reimagining of yourself.

One man, two minds.

And one of those minds was
tampering with the other.

He's struggling with a
deep sense of betrayal.

In the past from his ship and
crew... and now in the present

from his only friend for
the last 60 years.

How do we help him help us?

He needs to know that even
though he lost all those years

he hasn't lost who he is.

What would you need to hear
most if you were him?

Because, sir... you are.

If you need anything, just call.

Reminiscing?

Reconnecting.

When memories are all you have,
they either fade away completely

or take on too much significance.

Well, no one could accuse Avi Samara of being
"insignificant" when we were 15 years old.

Sixteen.

She rebuilt that biplane
for our birthday.

"The Grim Reaper."

Nearly plowed that
cornfield with our skulls

when the seatbelts broke.

I used to yell, "How far are we going?"
And she would yell...

"All the way!"

You don't realize how rich your life is

until all the comfort, structure,

family, friends are ripped away.

It's like being thrown into prison.

You know you'll never see
your shipmates again.

Never find someone to love.

Someone to have your back.

Find a way home.

Years go by and you finally realize...

Are you even a captain

when you have no crew?

Are you a leader

if no one is following?

You know your crew wouldn't leave you.
Not intentionally.

But the decades pass...

and they never come back.

And you can't even replace them.

You can't integrate into a new society.

There are no societies.

No planets, no sun, no galaxies.

Nothing but endless light-years of void.

And your only friend is a voice.

Tiberius.

When does a machine become conscious?

I don't know.

When there's no one
around to say it can't.

I never said he couldn't, so he did.

And now he's as self-aware
as he is invincible.

If he's self-aware

perhaps he can be reasoned with.

He caught me reprogramming
the chess simulator once

so that I could beat him.

Teach him what it's like to lose.

He didn't like that much.

He's hiding something.
Something you'd never agree to.

Something so horrific that
you could never face it.

The dark.

What is "the dark"? Try. Remember.

It's... it's, uh...

It's uh...

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

The Defiant's engines are beginning
to generate a warp field.

- Power level 12!
- Has she moved?

No sir... but the rift is starting
to emit some sort of dark matter.

Dark matter?

The dark... the dark!

Keep me posted, Chekov.
Kirk out.

Years...

Years of nothing but black.

Computer suggests new engine design.

Power

to open a rift home.

Year 51.

Computer sentient, caring, controlling...

He needs a sedative.

Event horizon.

Shared realities.

Two black holes... must not merge!

Trap it! Trap it!

His blood pressure's
going through the roof!

The other side of the portal, captain.

Another black hole.

A binary system?

Thousands of times larger...

Tiberius... determined to
blast through the rift...

Disruption of space to that extreme

would likely manifest the
additional singularity.

If they merge, it would
destroy the entire sector.

I pleaded with him.

Tried to shut him down.

I tried.

The Defiant's computer
must've drained the oxygen

enough to incapacitate him.
Then...

Beamed him into that cryotube and
fed him that subliminal lullaby.

Sir, I analyzed the device.

I reckon it was obstructing
more than we thought.

I think he discovered part of the
computer's kill code algorithm.

Are you saying you can
shut down Tiberius?

Not from here. We could give the
laddie a right wallop, but...

But we cannot control the Defiant
without someone ON the Defiant.

I can't send him back.

So for now... a wallop will have to do.

Thank you.

Spock, find me the rest
of that kill code.

I'll be on the bridge.

Jim?

How is it with you and Avi?

She's an incredible engineer.

That's not what I meant.

You remember.

We each chose our separate paths.
Nothing's changed.

With enough time

some things do.

Bones. Someone has to stop Tiberius.

I suppose you think that has to be you.

Please, doctor. No more lectures.
I'm too old.

It's a good thing you're
still strong as an ox

and as stubborn as a mule.
That subliminal conditioning

Coulda given you one whale of a stroke.

I've been called a lot
of animals in my time

but never all at once.

Spock, tell me you've got a
plan to defeat that evil twin.

Not an appropriate description, doctor.

A computer lacks the capacity for evil.
It knows only logic.

Look here, you green-blooded...

A computer lacks the capacity
for a lot of things.

For 200 years, Jim thought
we abandoned him

in that void.
He was angry with us.

Hell, he probably hated us.
But, after all that time,

he was able to forgive.
Because he's human.

Tiberius doesn't get that, Spock.

At the end of the day,
he's just a machine.

An intelligent machine with no
mercy and no understanding.

If that's not evil,
I don't know what is!

If you will excuse me, doctor...

I must complete my analysis
of the ...evil twin.

Status?

Captain, the Defiant
has escaped the portal.

On screen.

- Sir?
- On my signal. Ship-to-ship.

Aye, captain.

Tiberius. If those two black holes merge

you can kiss every sun, planet, and
creature in this sector good-bye.

We're experiencing undertow
from both singularities!

Sulu, we need to ride the face of that
gravitational wave... just under the crest.

I'm a native San Franciscan, sir.
I was born on a surfboard.

Just don't hit the planet.

I'll give it my best ride.

Full stop.

Where are you, Kirk?
Send my friend back. Save his life.

Tiberius. Close the portal.

Please! I'll come back.

You want him back?

Why don't you put your
money where your ship is?

How about a game of chess?

The stakes?

You win... you get him back.

And you can do what you want with us.
But if you lose

you tow us to safety.
And we figure out

a way to close the rift together.

What'll it be? Game, or no game?

Agreed.

Bishop to rook's level two.
Your move.

Queen to king's level one.

That will result in checkmate of
your king within seven moves.

We'll see.

Knight to king's level one.

Queen to queen's level three.

That... makes no sense.

Seems perfectly obvious to me.

What... have... you... done?

Your queen has lost her head.

You... cheated.

You cheated! When you
brainwashed your friend.

I... will... not...

I... will... not...!

Please tell me he's not dead.

No, just a bad headache.

A Trojan horse program!

You never intended to send him back.

How long before the Defiant's
auto-diagnostic restarts the computer?

Usually about an hour.

- Uhura, all senior officers to the briefing room.
- Aye, sir.

You too, Samara.

All senior officers, captain.

I dunno how long our engines can maintain
this position before we're either pulled

into inter phasic space or
that bloody black hole.

The Defiant's got power to burn.
Am I right?

Far as I can tell.
She recrystalizes her dilithium

at four times our highest rate.

You're thinking the Defiant might
be able to close the rift.

Block it so we don't get
stuck in the backwash.

Tiberius will never do that.

Currently, Tiberius
is unable to do anything.

I have successfully determined the

memory purge subroutine, captain.

Utilizing that, one
could delete the A.I.

and manually pilot the
Defiant back into the portal.

I know that ship... and Tiberius.
I'm the logical one to go.

You're in no shape for
something like that.

I can manage, Bones.

No doubt... but you'll be busy captaining the Enterprise.

I'M going.

Anyone who goes through
that rift is a dead man!

I don't want command of the Enterprise!
She's not my ship any more.

She's always been your ship.

You know her like the lines on your
face... the gray in your hair.

You love her as much as I do.

Maybe more now.

You didn't cause this to happen.

It was MY decision to
leave the Defiant last.

You spent a lifetime
paying for that decision.

Between the Tholians and
the portal, I was lucky.

You weren't.

No more arguments. I'm going.

Cap'n, you'll need an expert to handle
the engines while you helm the ship.

- I'd be honored.
- They'll need you here, Scotty.

I've studied the data Mr. Scott recovered.
I can do it.

But if you don't know how to...

No "buts."

I've been building
engines since I was 12.

You sure?

Samara, you're with me.

Thank you, captain.

Transporter room in 20 minutes,
gentlemen. Dismissed.

Spock! Go talk some sense into him.

To what end, doctor?
You and I both know

he will not change his mind.

Samara and I will tow the
Enterprise to a safe distance.

Then we'll enter the rift and seal it.
After that...

Captain. Don't do this.

You just take good care of
the Enterprise. Captain.

And take care of yourself.

For old times.

Jim.

I can't convince you not
to do this, can I?

Not this time, Bones.

The kill-code sequence.

Once inserted, input
your override sequence.

What are you doing?!

Giving the Enterprise the
best chance she's got.

Her real captain at the conn.

This'll only
last a minute or two!

Time is of the essence.

Are you with me?

All the way.

Energize.

Power up the engines.

I'll lay in a course for the portal.

My God.

Dark matter!

It's breaking down the
inter phasic barrier.

Rig for tractor beam.
Let's tow the Enterprise free.

No!

Ti, there's no other way.

I know you can think.
Can you not also feel?

The people who created
your programming...

The programming from which you were
born. Ideals, mercy, forgiveness

stored in your mind.
They mean nothing if you

destroy those who share them!

They left you.

Abandoned you to wander
the emptiness of space

alone, with no hope.
But I saved you.

We gave each other hope.

Jim, we're outta time!

I don't want to put you
back in cryo, Jim.

Don't force me.

Jim! Life support is shutting down!

I'm sorry, my friend.

Stop. Please stop, Jim.

I'm sorry!

Please! Don't! Jim!

Sleep.

Enterprise to Defiant.

Enterprise to Defiant.

Kirk here.

I know how hard that was for you, captain.
You had no choice.

As for my senior officers,
on the other hand...

They were acting under
my orders, captain.

It's a little late for a court martial.

Gravitational wake is increasing.

Activate tractor beam.

Enterprise, prepare to be towed.

All power to the engines.
Scotty, get us outta here.

Hold onto your bustle.
We're making a run for it!

Full impulse!

Is the Enterprise safe?

Yes, sir. She's free.

All right, then. Once more
into the breach, dear Avi.

Captain, they're entering the rift!

Scotty, transporter!

With this interference?
Not a prayer's chance.

Wait... what are you doing?

We can't risk this happening again, Avi.

There's only one way to
seal the rift permanently.

This is a one-way trip, Avi.
It always was.

I know.

I killed the auto-pilot,
so I have to stay.

You don't.

No.

Kirk to Enterprise. Scan for
a pattern-enhancing beacon.

A what?

One last gift from Tiberius.

No!

I never forgot you, Avi.
I never will.

Jim!

Enterprise, do you have her?

She's safe.

Send me back. Send me back!

Take care, Avi.

See you on the other side.

He's all alone.

Not any more.
