Earth: Final Conflict s01e15 Episode Script

Our greatest fear has been realized.
The Taelon Commonality has been invaded.
The invader is most certainly a human.
We must find this person immediately.
If this human can invade the Commonality the damage he can do to Taelons is incalculable.
My implants will investigate immediately.
Protective custody for this invader is not sufficient.
He must be killed.
Loosing your edge, Mr.
Corr? What the hell do you want? That's no way to talk to the man who saved your life.
I have an assignment for you.
Ronald, your assignments are bad luck.
No, thanks.
What makes you think you can say "no" to me? I don't want Boone anywhere near this.
I don't care what you want! Okay.
Who's the target? I'll be in touch.
Three years ago they came, forever altering the future of humanity.
William Boone's life has been destroyed.
A man caught between two worlds.
Assigned protector to the Companions; undercover agent for the Liberation.
An alien implanted cyber-virus expands his mind.
Controlling a bio-engineered weapon of unprecedented power.
William Boone searches for the truth.
When the intruder is identified, I will look to you to execute my directive.
Of course.
I can't believe we've got to provide securities of Da'an to get his palm read.
I take it you're non-believer.
Hey, hey! If these were the real psychics they would've predicted this cold snap in Boston and they'd picked Maui instead.
I think you'd be surprised, but in the meantime, I want you Wait, wait, wait, I'm getting something.
I think I'm getting a vibe.
I'm sensing that you would like me to check the perimeter.
See, this place's already having effect on you.
Ladies and gentlemen, our guests have arrived.
Would you, please, be sitted.
Ladies and gentlemen, Katya Petrenko.
Mr.
Sato, you may now begin.
A triangle.
Doesn't take that much to excite these people.
You are not impressed? Come on.
She's gonna get some right just by guessing.
It's like a bad nightclub act.
Do you think you could guess that well? A star.
That is not correct.
I did sense a star.
Sorry, but it does look like a circle to me.
Please.
You held the circle over this, did you not? Yes.
Your mother died recently.
This belonged to her.
Your attachment to this necklace called out to me.
That's what I was hearing.
Going over your gambling accounts? No.
Looking at my next acquisition.
Did you access this just to impress me? - Why would I want to impress you? - You tell me.
Sorry to disappoint you.
So, I guess you've heard about the invasion on the Taelon Commonality? Yes, of course.
And I bet Boone has been charged with finding who the mystery psychic was.
God, it's really irritating.
Well, I'm just trying to impress you.
Go ahead, impress me.
Impress me with your investigative skills.
Boone seems to figure you have an interest in the psychic arena.
- He figured right.
- Right.
Then we need all the information you can find on a particular psychic named Katya Petrenko! The star psychic from Russia.
Thanks.
I need you to come back tomorrow morning.
Great.
You'll have the information I need? Ah, I want to take you somewhere.
Augur, I don't think I have time to Tomorrow.
Allow me to introduce Miss Petrenko.
Please, call me Katya.
We have heard much about your gifts.
We are honored by your presence here.
This was the right year to come.
What is your meaning? You must change your approach to humans.
Your way of thinking will lead to the destruction of humanity and the Taelon race.
I am here tonight because of you.
I appreciate that, but I'm afraid you're mistaking me for someone else.
No, Mr.
Boone, there's no mistake.
Every moment that we delay increases the risk to the Commonality and to the future of the Taelon race.
I have no doubt that Miss Petrenko is the human who has invaded the Commonality.
What is the basis for this determination? She challenged me in public without fear.
I expect more of you than to reach such a conclusion with so little foundation.
Time is of the essence in finding the invader.
We should interview all of the psychics.
We must also be prepared for the possibility that more than one human has been able to invade the Commonality.
There is wisdom in your words, Da'an.
Proceed.
Here you are.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Sure.
I just wasn't ready to go back to the hotel.
You gave Zo'or an earful tonight.
You should know who you're dealing here.
If you continue to criticize Zo'or, he will strike back.
I only say what I feel.
Yeah, well, those kinds of statements could get you into a lot of troubles.
I'd be careful.
I don't have the time to be careful.
My time to act is now.
Very cryptic words.
What do they mean? When I was compelled to come to the conference I felt my purpose was to expose Zo'or, and make everyone understand the futility of his beliefs.
And now? When I saw you I realized that you were the reason I was compelled to come here.
William, you're in grave danger.
I know you're working with Jonathan Doors against the Companions.
Have you learned anything new about this woman? Nothing we didn't already know.
Do you believe that Katya Petrenko has special abilities, Zo'or? She poses a threat to the Synod.
It is time to stop her.
I've made the necessary contact.
He's ready to move on my order.
Then give him the order.
Now.
- I'll brief Da'an - You will not.
This is my order and it shall be shared with no one.
Certainly.
I demand success.
I will not disappoint you.
That would be most wise.
I understand why you have to deny this.
I know the danger you're in.
I'm sorry, but you're mistaken.
You are a natural leader.
You are at your best when people need you the most.
I'm sorry I've put you in this position.
But I feel very strongly that my time left on Earth is short.
You're the only one who can help me.
You're kidding, right? Do I look like I'm kidding? If this is why you brought me here, then I am leaving! Okay, fine, leave.
But I wouldn't advise it.
Oh, really? I thought you wanted to find out about Katya Petrenko.
How are you? It's good to see you.
Lili, nice to finally feel you in my presence.
Thank you.
Yes, of course, Augur has told me about you.
Really? Cuz he hasn't said a thing to me about you.
That shouldn't surprise you.
Oh, I guess it doesn't.
Marie is the one to talk to about Katya.
As you can see she's also blessed with psychic abilities.
You're finding it hard to take me seriously.
I ah I really mean no disrespect Would it surprise you to learn that the US government pursued Marie for years to join their research projects? And you refused? I wasn't interested in sharpening my skills for military applications.
And now the government is working with the Taelons.
And I am certainly not interested in helping them.
I'm afraid I don't really believe in psychic abilities.
I know belief is hard for you, Lili.
It's difficult to have faith when it was destroyed at so young an age by your father.
I'd rather not talk about this.
When you forgive your father, you'll find your faith again.
It's not gonna happen.
I understand.
But you should know your brother never blamed you for not protecting him from your father.
In fact, just the opposite.
You were the shining light in his life.
Are we through here? Katya is holding a meeting for the public this afternoon.
I'm sending Marie.
If Katya is a phony, Marie will know.
Believe me.
I'm beginning to.
Lili, I'd like to show you something.
Please.
Thank you.
Oh, this is amazing! You know, I've seen this painting at a museum in Paris.
It's a beautiful reproduction.
Do you think I have a reproduction in my gallery? You stole it? Personally, no, but by association perhaps.
Oh, come on.
I don't believe you.
Could you remember when you asked me what I do with my earnings? Well, now you know.
This is my passion.
And I go to great length to obtain what I'm passionate about.
Thank you for coming, Marie.
Please, tell William Boone everything you've seen.
Everything all right, Miss Petrenko? Is your concern genuine, Agent Sandoval? Of course.
Why do you ask? You know very well why.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Is everything ready? Right.
When you activate the device she must be the only one killed.
I understood your instructions the first time you gave them to me.
My program is very precise.
The poison's targeted at her DNA specifically.
Understand this very clearly.
Mr.
Corr, there's no room for error.
There never is.
Boone, there's someone I really think you should meet.
Who is she? She's a friend of Augur's.
- Look, Lili, I'm sorry, I - She's a psychic.
I asked her to bring me.
You and Katya Petrenko are linked.
You know this to be true.
You have felt Katya's power.
I have.
I've been around psychics all my life and I have never experienced anything like I did today when Katya Petrenko touched me.
She's operating on a different plane that never existed before.
What does this have to do with me? All I know is that you and you alone are Katya's main focus.
She believes that you're her reason for being at this moment in her life.
Excuse me.
- Hi.
- I need to take you somewhere.
I thought you're busy at the conference.
I'm free until the closing banquet tonight.
Please, meet me at the corner of Walburn and Pratt.
Yeah I'll see you in 10 minutes.
According to Augur's friend, Boone and Katya are linked in some way.
- I know she's psychic - No need to make excuses, Lili.
These abilities have been proven time and again.
I've also observed that the Taelons have conducted an extensive testing in psychic arena.
It's been a source of great concern to me.
Intrusion alert! Intrusion alert! This is not a drill! Are you crazy? Bringing her here without Jonathan, stop.
I didn't bring her here.
What the hell are you saying? She brought me here.
She knew exactly where we were.
How many people know your whereabouts? If Katya was working with the Taelons, they would've raided this hideout already.
All right.
Back off.
Cancel alert, reset the security systems.
Then why are you here? I feel death and destruction coming to Earth.
I have an understanding in my head that I can't access.
I need William to help me get to it.
Understanding of what? Not sure.
I need William to help me sort it out.
The psychic senses are powerful but not as exact as physical senses.
My abilities are interpretive.
The Taelons' interest in psychic phenomenon has been more intense than I would've thought.
Yeah, look at Zo'or's reaction.
He's certainly acting like Katya is a threat.
I am.
There may be a way for you to convey what you know to Boone.
For years we've been trying to extract information from one brain and convey it into another.
I think I finally succeeded with a little help from some borrowed Taelon technology.
Are you saying Boone would be able to read Katya's mind? I, actually, will be transferring Katya's thoughts into Boone's brain.
Could my implant function as a translator? Have you tried this procedure using an implant as the recipient? No, not yet.
Well, we can't forget Katya's psychic ability and her willingness to convey this information.
Essentially, I would create a hardwire connection between Katya's brain and Boone's CVI.
What are the risks for Katya? Well, if we succeed in making this connection, your CVI would be pulling synaptic impulses from her brain at such an increased rate of speed that could be very dangerous for her, perhaps, even fatal.
There's no choice.
I can't tell you how I know this will work, but I do know it.
No! That is not your decision to make.
It's mine.
As long as I'm lying on the table next to you it's my decision as much as it's yours.
And I won't be responsible for your death! We'll find another way.
Yes, Da'an.
Bring Ms.
Petrenko to my office immediately.
As you wish.
Are you attempting to invade the Taelon Commonality? As I understand the Commonality, it's your way of psychicly connecting all members of the Taelon race.
That is an accurate assessment.
Then no, I am not.
When you roam in your psychic universe, do you always know your destination? Not always.
There are times when I don't know what I am seeking, and I just let my mind to follow its own course.
Then it is possible that your wanderings took you to the Taelon collective consciousness unintentionally.
I suppose.
But if I had experienced what you describe as your Commonality, I certainly would know that.
I feel that you are lying.
I must concur.
I do feel a strong connection to you.
And I also feel it.
But it is not related to your Commonality.
It's different.
We are getting nowhere.
Your presence is no longer required.
Boone, please, escort Ms.
Petrenko to the conference.
Is it not now obvious that Katya Petrenko is the one who has invaded the Commonality? Although I did not feel the same link with her as all Taelon feel as a part of the Commonality, I would agree that this woman is connected to us in some way that we have not seen in humans.
I feel as Da'an.
There's an undeniable force emanating from this human.
But it is not clear that this is the force that has broken through our Commonality.
The wisest course is to continue the inquiry with the balance of the psychics as planned.
We shall continue.
I never got the chance to thank you.
For what? For allowing yourself to believe in Marie and in me.
You're welcome.
Your faith wasn't really destroyed, Lili.
Look for it again and you will find it.
You've got to get to Dr.
Belman's and access the knowledge I need to convey to you.
If you don't deliver the speech, Sandoval's men will notify him immediately.
We won't be able to delude him long enough to complete the procedure.
Tell Belman to prepare for the procedure.
We're on the move as soon as she finishes with the speech.
We'll be there in 30 minutes.
We really don't have much of a window.
I'll be ready.
Don't question yourself, William.
It's supposed to happen this way.
I envy you, your ability to so certain.
Have fun.
Well, well, well Wouldn't want you to miss this for the world, pal.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
It has been my honor to share the last few days with so many of my esteemed colleagues.
I haven't had the opportunity to travel outside my native Russia for many years.
There's a guy on the third level.
I want you to go check him out.
But this gathering has had a profound impact on me.
We all share a bond born from this gift we possess.
It is vital that we use our power to make better of the human condition.
To show others how to more fully understand themselves.
Only then can we feel deserving of our special abilities.
No! Katya! Katya! - She has trouble breathing.
- The ambulance is on the way.
It was Corr.
I should've killed him when I had a chance.
Sandoval wanted Katya dead? Sandoval would never act on his own.
Must've been Zo'or.
Or Da'an.
We've got to do mind-sharing now.
No, we have to keep you alive.
We have to get you to a hospital first.
Once she's in a hospital we'll never get her away from the Taelons.
The only chance is to take her to Belman's.
She can treat her.
You think Katya can survive the shuttle ride? I don't know - Take me Dr.
Belman's.
- Katya, no.
Let me fulfill my purpose.
It's our only chance.
We'll load her in the shuttle.
Try and stall Sandoval as long as you can, then join us.
Move out of the way! Just relax, try and breathe, okay? You must take the shuttle to the conference immediately.
Report to us as soon as you arrive.
Yes.
A chemical weapon has been detonated at the conference center! Where is Katya Petrenko? It appears that she was the target.
She was seriously injured.
Boone's with her right now and the ambulance.
I'll call you from the hospital.
Have you identified the perpetrator? Yes.
I want him brought to Da'an's office immediately for interrogation.
Boone's it him with a skrill blast.
The local police is detaining him for questioning.
Did you hear me, Captain? I want him brought here now! Yes, sir! They're right behind me.
She's still having trouble breathing.
She's losing strength.
You've got to contact Sandoval right now.
Sandoval! Boone! - Where the hell are you? - I've rushed Katya to Dr.
Belman's office.
What's her condition? Critical.
When can you get here? Okay.
Do it.
It's a very fast-acting poison.
No one else even got sick.
Why was Katya the only one affected? This poison is specifically matched to her DNA.
Her internal organs are shutting down.
Will, I'm sorry.
There's nothing more I can do to save her.
William, it's time.
All right, let's do it.
We're ready.
The images are flowing into the CVI.
It's all up to Boone now.
Do you understand? Sandoval's gonna be here in one minute! Help me.
Ma'el was an ancient Taelon who lived on this planet for centuries and came to love humanity.
But he did everything he could to prevent his fellow Taelons from coming to Earth.
But why? He didn't believe the Taelons would understand humans as he did.
He was afraid they would never treat us as equals.
He also feared that the Taelons would come to Earth in spite of his message to stay away.
He gave humanity a gift.
My gift.
And the potential to tap into the Taelon Commonality.
Ma'el thought that with this ability we could better understand the Taelons and convince them that we could indeed become their partners.
And he did this without the knowledge of the Taelon's Synod.
ESP and psychic abilities This was from the Taelons? They were actually involved in altering the course of the human development.
I was given this gift to give it to you, William.
Use it.
Save us.
You are the only one who can.
I'll do my best.
Life and death touch each other in an endless circle.
A separation of death is but an illusion.
She said that Ma'el gave humanity this gift so that we could commune more effectively with Taelons, and convince you that we could work together as partners.
Ma'el apparently did this without the consent or knowledge of the Synod.
Ma'el would not have kept his actions secret from the Synod without a compelling reason.
Is that why the Synod ordered Katya's death? I think it is best that we honor Ma'el's intentions and not disclose his actions to the Synod.
I think that would be wise.
Boone.
It was my wish to know Katya better.
- To understand her gift.
- I know.
She will be greatly missed.
It is time.
We have endured the most profound invasion yet of our most precious link to each other.
I fear that future invasions are inevitable.
