 "Day of the Dove" was the eleventh episode of the third season of Star Trek: The Original Series. Responding to a distress call from Beta XII-A, a landing party from the Enterprise beams down to the planet. They find no evidence of a colony nor any indication that one was attacked. From the bridge of the orbiting Enterprise, Spock hails Captain Kirk and reports that a Klingon battle cruiser is approaching. Although Kirk authorizes the Vulcan to defend the Starfleet ship, Sulu determines that the Klingon vessel is totally disabled. A team of Klingons beams to the planet and approaches the Starfleet officers. Kang, the leader of the team, believes that Kirk is responsible for the damage to his ship and for killing four hundred members of his crew. As a result, the Klingon claims the Enterprise as his own and takes the captain prisoner. Both men are unaware of a strange anomaly nearby. Kang threatens to torture one of the Starfleet prisoners, but has difficulty deciding which officer will suffer – until Ensign Chekov angrily cries out that Klingons killed his brother, Piotr Chekov, on Archanis IV. One of the Klingons uses an agonizer to inflict pain on the Russian. After much debating with Kang, Kirk authorizes Spock to beam the Klingon and Starfleet officers aboard the Enterprise. The landing party is beamed into the ship's transporter room, but the Klingons are suspended in transit and are later arrested. |
