Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

Don't grieve, admiral.

It is logical.

The needs of the many outweigh...

The needs of the few.

Or the one.

And I have been, and always shall be, your friend.

Live long and prosper.

Kirk: We are assembled here today

to pay final respects to our honored dead.

This death takes place in the shadow of new life,

the sunrise of a new world,

a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish.

He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one.

Of my friend, I can only say this.

Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels,

his was the most

human.

Sulu: Honors.

Hup.

Spock: Space, the final frontier.

These are the continuing voyages of the starship enterprise.

Her ongoing mission, to explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life forms and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Kirk: USS. Enterprise, captain's personal log.

With most of our battle damage repaired, we 're almost home,

yet I feel uneasy,

and I wonder why.

Perhaps it is the emptiness of this vessel.

Most of our trainee crew have been reassigned.

Lieutenant saavik and my son David are exploring the Genesis planet,

which he helped create,

and enterprise feels like a house with all the children gone.

No. More empty even than that.

The death of Spock is like an open wound.

It seems that I have left the noblest part of myself back there

on that newborn planet.

Status, Mr. Squ.

On course, admiral. Estimating spacedock in 2.1 hours.

Very well. Mr. Chekov, I'll need a pre-approach scan.

Take the science station, please.

- Yes, sir. - Uhura.

Any response from stareret on our project Genesis inquiries?

No, sir. There is no response.

That's very odd.

Scotty, progress report.

It's almost done, sir.

You'll be fully automated by the time we dock.

Your timing is excellent, Mr. Scott.

You fixed the barn door after the horse has come home.

How much refit time till we can take her out again?

On comm: Eight weeks, sir,

but you don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for you in two.

Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your repair estimates

by a factor of four?

Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle-worker?

Your reputation is secure, Scotty.

Mr. Squ, take the conn. I'll be in my quarters.

Aye, sir.

Foster: Sir?

I was wondering, are they planning a ceremony when we get in?

I mean a reception?

A hero's welcome, son, is that what you'd like?

Well, god knows there should be.

This time we've paid for the party with our dearest blood.

Captain: Steady. Steady, boys.

Keep scanning.

I thought you people were reliable. Where the hell is he?

Valkris: He's been here for some time. Put me on hailing frequency.

Commander kruge, this is valkris.

I have purchased the Genesis data.

Ready to transmit.

Kruge on comm: Well done, valkris. Well done.

What the hell is...

Disengage cloaking device!

Transmit data.

Now!

Transmission completed.

You will find it useful.

Then you have seen it?

I have, my lord.

Unfortunate.

Understood.

Thrusters.

What the hell's going on? When do I get paid off?

Soon, captain. Quite soon.

Success my lord.

And my love.

You will be remembered with honor.

Fire!

New course, federation neutral zone.

Feed him!

Yes, my lord.

Approach control, this is enterprise. Ready for docking maneuver.

Woman on comm: Enterprise is cleared to dock.

Look on.

Sulu: Systems locked.

Spacedock, you have control.

Woman: Affirmative, enterprise. Enjoy the ride, and welcome home.

Enterprise confirms.

Man 1 on comm: Moving in.

Man 2 on comm: Acknowledged. Doors closing.

Would you look at that.

My friends, the great experiment,

the excelsior,

ready for trial runs.

She's supposed to have transwarp drive.

Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.

Come, come, Mr. Scott. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant.

Man 2: Acknowledged. Doors are closing.

Man 1: Updating.

Stand by umbilical and gravitational support systems.

Aye, sir. Moorings activated. All systems standing by.

Chekov: Admiral, this is not possible.

Mr. Chekov?

An energy reading from c-deck, from inside Mr. Spock's quarters.

I ordered Spock's quarters sealed.

Yes, sir. I sealed the room myself.

Nevertheless, I am reading a life form there.

This entire crew seems on the edge of obsessive behavior

concerning Mr. Spock.

Sir, security reports the door to Spock's quarters has been forced.

I'm on my way. Mr. Sulu, continue docking procedure.

Aye, sir.

McCoy: Jim, help me.

You left me on Genesis.

Why did you do that?

Help me.

Bones.

What the hell are you doing?

Have you lost your mind?

Help me, Jim. Take me home.

Bones, we are. We are home.

Then perhaps it's not too late. Climb the steps, Jim.

Climb the steps of mount seleya.

Mount seleya?

Bones, mount seleya is on vulcan. We're home, on earth.

Remember.

Uhura on comm: Admiral, docking is completed.

Starfleet commander morrow is on his way for inspection.

Uhura, get the medics down here!

Get them now!

You've all done remarkable service under the most difficult conditions.

You'll be receiving starfleet's highest commendation,

and more importantly, extended shore leave.

That is, all but you, Mr. Scott.

They need your wisdom on the new excelsior.

Report there tomorrow as captain of engineering.

With all appreciation, sir,

I'd prefer to supervise the refit of enterprise.

I'm afraid that won't be necessary.

But, sir...

I'm sorry, Mr. Scott, but there will be no refit.

Admiral, I don't understand.

- The enterprise is not... - Jim, the enterprise is 20 years old.

We feel her day is over.

But we had requested...

We'd hoped to take her back to Genesis.

That is out of the question.

May I ask why?

In your absence, Genesis has become a galactic controversy.

Until the federation council makes policy,

you are all under orders not to discuss with anyone your knowledge of Genesis.

Consider it a quarantined planet and a forbidden subject.

To fully understand the events on which I report,

it is necessary to review the theoretical data

on the Genesis device,

as developed by doctors Carol and David Marcus.

Genesis, simply put, is life from lifelessness.

It was the intention to introduce the Genesis device

into a preselected area of a lifeless space body,

a moon or other dead form.

The device, when delivered,

would instantaneously cause the Genesis effect.

Instead of a dead moon, a living, breathing planet now exists,

capable of sustaining whatever life forms we see fit to deposit on it.

Speak.

Great power to control, dominate.

Speak.

Impressive. They can make planets.

Oh, yes. New cities, homes in the country,

your woman at your side, children playing at your feet,

and overhead, fluttering in the breeze, the flag of the federation.

Charming.

Station.

Yes, my lord.

- (Whispering) Share this with no one. - Understood, my lord.

We are going to this planet.

Even as our emissaries negotiate for peace with the federation,

we will act for the preservation of our race.

We will seize the secret of this weapon,

the secret of ultimate power.
