(Music) Sickbay to lab.
Anything new on those bios?
LAB TECH [OC]: They all came out fine, Doctor.
Good.
McCoy out.
(Music) (Khan sees a display of old medical instruments
on the wall, takes a scalpel, and is back in bed when McCoy walks in to check on him.
As the good doctor leans over, Khan grabs him by the throat and holds the blade to his
neck.)
(Music) Well, either choke me or cut my throat.
Make up your mind.
English.
I thought I dreamed hearing it.
Where am I?
You're in (a squeeze makes him lower his voice) You're in bed, holding a knife at your doctor's
throat.
Answer my question.
It would be most effective if you would cut the carotid artery, just under the left ear.
(Khan releases him.)
I like a
brave man.
I was simply trying to avoid an argument.
(takes the scalpel) You're aboard the United Spaceship Enterprise.
Your vessel is in tow.
I remember a voice.
Did I hear it say I had been sleeping for two centuries?
That is correct.
Where is your Captain?
I have many questions.
(McCoy goes to the intercom) KIRK [OC]: Bridge.
I have a patient here with many questions, Captain.
KIRK [OC]: On my way.
(A little later, and Khan is sitting up more) James Kirk, commanding the starship Enterprise.
I see.
And your name?
I have a few questions first.
What is your heading?
Our heading is Starbase Twelve, a planet in the Gamma 400 star system.
Our command base in this sector.
Is that of any use to you?
And my people?
Seventy two of your life-support canisters are still functioning.
You will revive them.
As soon as we reach Starbase Twelve.
(Music) I see.
And now (Music)
Khan is my name.
Khan.
Nothing else?
Khan.
What was the exact date of your lift off?
We know it was sometime in the early 1990s, but
I find myself growing fatigued, Doctor.
May we continue this questioning at some other time?
The facts I need, Mister Khan, will take very little time.
For example, the nature of your expedition.
Jim.
A little later might be better.
Captain, I wonder if I could have something to read during my convalescence.
I was once an engineer of sorts.
I would be most interested in studying the technical manuals on your vessel.
Yes, I understand.
You have two hundred years of catching up to do.
Precisely.
They're available to any patient on the viewing screen.
Doctor McCoy will show you how to tie into the library tapes.
Thank you, Captain.
You are very co-operative.
