- We cut to the USS Enterprise. No, not the starship—the naval vessel.
- A guard patrols the narrow hallways of the ship. Meanwhile, Uhura and Chekov use their tricorders to find the reactor before slapping on their photon-stealing device.
- At the same time, Gillian drops off Kirk at Golden Gate Park. Gillian still doesn't believe him, but he continues his smooth talking without hesitation.
- As Gillian pulls away, she sees a flash of light and turns around. Kirk is gone. Huh?
- Aboard the ship, Kirk gets a status update. The whale tank will be ready the next morning, and the uranium crew is in the middle of its heist.
- The photon heist is taking forever, however. By now, the Navy has noticed that its power is being drained and is monitoring the situation.
- Finally, the deed is done. Chekov and Uhura call for an evac, but the signal isn't getting through. Uh-oh. At the same time, the Navy has discovered them and is sending guards down.
- Luckily, our heroes manage to contact Scotty. Uhura beams out first. Before Chekov can be transported, however, the guards surround him. That's bad.
- A naval officer interrogates Chekov and mocks his Starfleet ID card. The interrogators are particularly skeptical of Chekov because he's Russian.
- As the interrogators discuss Chekov's Russian-ness, Chekov grabs his phaser and points it at them. They don't relent, so he pulls the trigger—but nothing happens. Typical shoddy Romulan craftsmanship.
- Chekov makes a break for it, and a huge chase ensues. Finally, he reaches the surface, but he falls off a platform as he runs. It's a pretty nasty fall.
