Series 3 Episode 12: The Empath

The crew of the Enterprise unwittingly land on a planet of horrors when they go in search of a scientific mission scheduled for evacuation. A race of merciless aliens use Kirk and his colleagues as guinea pigs in their agonising experiments into the human aptitude for self-sacrifice. The real victim, though, is an empath, a woman with the ability to absorb other people's pain.
