Earth: Final Conflict s02e04 Episode Script

The device is set.
It will be triggered when the shuttle goes interdimensional.
- Hey, I thought we had a date! - Not if you don't get your butt in here.
I don't think Sandoval would appreciate me taking you out for a joyride.
You know, I've studied every aspect of these babies.
Everything, except actually flying in one! Just in case.
Hey, let me guess, a joke.
Not if you toss your cookies.
Doors.
- We have a problem.
- What is it? Kincaid is not alone.
I thought you confirmed his flight log.
I did.
This passenger was not scheduled.
We have only 5 seconds to abort! Then we'll forward both of them.
They are the Companions.
Aliens come to Earth on a mission of peace.
Their true mission, the secrets they hide, forever alter humanity.
Caught in the struggle between these Taelon Companions and the Human Resistance is Liam Kincaid.
A man who is more than human.
The mysteries of his past hold the key to Earth's future and the fate of mankind.
On Earth Final Conflict.
Hey, Liam, when are we going interdimensional? Patience, not one of your stronger attributes? May wanna get that ready.
What? Get to backup controls.
Can you get us down? Navigational controls are completely offline.
Try to restore navigational control.
- What the hell was that? - I don't understand these readings.
Even you can see by now that the conflict between the two of us threatens the existence of the Taelons.
I agree.
What do you suggest? That we word together.
On joining with the humans or enslaving them? You and I have always been together in support of your strategies of dealing with other races.
What has changed? I have now experienced the human race.
They are unique.
I have seen it in their soul.
They are the future.
You will not prevail on this matter.
You continuing opposition to bioengineering humanity will accomplish only one result.
The extinction of the Taelons.
I must follow my vision.
Whatever the result.
Da'an, Zo'or.
We've lost contact with shuttle Who was on board? Major Kincaid.
Try the controls.
Get back to your seat.
This is gonna be rough going down.
Some joyride.
Nice landing, Liam.
Liam, I hate to break this to you, but your popularity may be waning, my friend.
What are you talking about? Well, that that stardrive system was sabotaged.
Someone's tried to kill you.
- Who? - Who?! Take your pick.
There's Doors, Dr.
Park, Zo'or, Sandoval, or any other alien within 15 billion light years from Earth who may know what you are.
Think I'm that threatening? Personally, no, but theoretically, you bet your alien DNA.
Is your global functional? No, communication's down, but I'll try universal locator.
Look, just like the shuttle.
These readings don't make any sense.
Freeze! Surround them! Who are you? My name is Liam Kincaid and this is Au What are you doing here? We're lost.
- I'll ask you one more time.
- And we'll still be lost.
Listen, listen, you have to excuse my friend.
We're wasting our time.
Let's kill these Taelon scum now and get it over with.
Taelon? Oh, no, listen The shuttle? Seu inimigo e meu inimigo, sua casa e minha Where are we? We're on north-eastern quadrant of Imerian Continent.
Imerian Continent? You know, next door to Lilliputia on the far side of Wonderland where your Red Queen lives.
- Who is this Red Queen? - It's a joke.
We're form the United States, Washington DC to be exact.
I don't know these places either.
Maiya, why are we listen to these traitors? Making up stories with non-existent places.
Let's just kill them and get it over with.
Kill, kill, kill.
Doesn't anybody torture anymore? You know I'm telling the truth.
You can read it in my eyes.
Enough of this nonsense! No.
We take these prisoners back to the colony.
Jason and I will decide what to do with them.
"You can see it in my eyes"? Not a bad line for a beginner.
It was the truth.
That woman reads body language like words.
Otherwise, we'd both be dead now.
Any more theories about where we are and what going on here? Well, it's gotta be in the future.
I mean, look at the weapons, right? And what is this Imerian Continent? It must've been formed in the future, I think.
No.
When I say we were from the United States, It was as foreign to her as Imerian Continent to us.
Well, maybe she flaunt history and geography.
Or maybe we're not on Earth.
Everybody okay? Anyone need a medic? We need to adjust reflector shield settings.
Set up a test.
Whatever you want Damian can help you find.
If you need me, I will be with Jason.
Jason? My husband, the spiritual leader of our people.
May I? This looks like an astral tracking device.
- Can you operate it? - Can I operate it?.
.
Please.
Okay, I'm gonna bring up a view of the stars from this planet.
You, know, if I didn't know better I'd swears that's Orion's Belt and Ursa Major.
I guess we can reject the other planet theory.
This is definitely Earth.
Let me see if we can be more specific.
Well, what do you know The Imerian Continent, better known as Western Spain.
How far in the future are we? We're not.
This is the present, our time.
Jason would like to see you two.
Now.
The Taelons sent an assassin to kill me.
They must have pinpointed our location.
Their troops can't be far behind.
We must prepare ourselves for the battle.
You have saved my wife.
That is a debt that can never be fully repaid.
And I exist as a different person in your world? How do you explain your presence in ours? Our shuttle was in interdimensional space when we had an accident, then landed here.
Yeah, I have a theory that our worlds exist in parallel dimensions.
But, we're not the same.
Our worlds are not the same.
Well something must've happened differently in our two worlds that caused us to evolve along parallel paths.
Will you tell me about your world? We had piece and prosperity.
Until the Taelons arrived about 3 years ago.
They attacked our trading centers first, and with their superior technology met with little resistance.
Trading centers.
You mean cities? What are cities? They're concrete and still jungles with millions of people living on top of one another.
No, no, we don't have these cities.
We live in harmony with the land.
Our trading centers have no more than 20 thousands permanent residents.
Well, if your people live in harmony with the land, then why develop such sophisticate weaponry for war? Living in harmony with the land is easy, compared to living in harmony with each other.
Fighting is part of Imerian existence, and existence of every culture on our planet.
Sound like home to me, Toto.
That's why we've avoided being absorbed by the Taelon occupation.
Are there any other groups like yourselves still fighting Taelons? Yes.
But they grow fewer with each passing day.
Kayla is leading an attack on Churdas.
Who's Kayla? Kayla was one of us.
But the Taelons seduced her with the lure of unbridled power.
Which the Taelons were happy to provide in exchange on leading the assault on humanity which she has done with the vengeance.
Prepare your troops.
Kayla will overrun Churdas and come for us next.
This is what we prepared for.
My men downloaded this fie from your shuttles databanks.
It's true.
I am a Companion Agent in our world.
But I'm undercover.
Secretly working against Taelons who would deny us our freedom.
- I'll kill them myself.
- No.
No.
I'll deal with them after we defeat Kayla.
Well, well, well, a grateful couple.
Sure cooled off in a hurry, huh? Jason just saved our lives, Augur.
If he truly suspected us, he'd kill us on the spot.
Oh, let me guess.
Body language, right? No, common sense.
Oh, well, he better stay a faithful supporter, because the way things look around here, Liam, we're gonna be here for a while.
Listen, if we can get back to the shuttle, do you think you can retrace the flight pattern and get us home? No, I doubt it.
Liam! I mean, even if I could, interdimensional drive is fried, and there is no way the shuttle's gonna sustain another flight like that! Let's have a little more confidence in Taelon workmanship.
Shall we? Have all the reflector shields calibrated to these settings.
At once.
We know things about the Taelons that could help Jason's people in battle.
What the hell is the matter with you? Don't you realize that the only reason we're not dead is because they're waiting till later to kill us? When they have time to savor it.
That is not the reason why you're still alive.
Yes, that's not the reason why.
What is the reason? I don't fully understand why you're here, or who you are, Liam Kincaid, but I will not be responsible for your death.
Not after you saved Maiya's life.
Let us help you.
I hate to be the pain here, but if we want to go home Why would you want to help us? This isn't your fight.
The exact nature of our connection I can't define, but there's a relationship between our worlds.
We're all human beings.
Even if I was to accept your help, my people wouldn't trust a Companion Agent.
You must go now.
Get back to your shuttle.
Find your way home.
Flight record's intact, all the information is there.
Great.
Now all I have to do is completely rebuild the interdimensional drive unit with no spare parts.
I have a hunch you'll come through.
Oh, really? Well, you didn't get that from my body language, I tell you that.
No, from experience.
Well, let's hope this isn't the first time.
My friends! We have prepared for this moment.
We will never be more ready than we are right now.
But just remember what we're fighting for.
Not just the Imerians, but all of humanity.
We fight for freedom! Freedom! Our first attack will be the most important.
On my signal hit them with everything you've got.
Now, go.
The Taelons are going to attack Jason's people.
Don't even think about it.
Not if you want to get home, Liam.
- Liam, this isn't your fight.
Liam! - I can help them.
I have to.
You released the prisoners? Liam saved your life, my love.
I had no choice.
Neither did I.
You and Liam, reinforce the rear.
Fire! This is the best this pathetic race has to offer? Commence the gravity pulse.
To the surface.
Disengage the gravity pulse.
Let go! It's our only chance.
I've told the Taelons all about you.
Join with me.
You'll die for that.
Yes, but my soul will live on.
Yours has already died.
Kayla wanted Jason as her mate.
Take them to the mother ship! You repaired the shuttle? I've got conventional drive online, but interdimensional's a whole other ball game.
Can you get us up to the mother ship? The mother ship? What the hell for? We gotta get to Jason.
Augur, look out! Who were you talking to? My mother.
MCI has this great deal on the weekends, it's only 5 cents a minute.
Guard the shuttle.
I'll take him up to mother ship.
But you failed to capture the female leader.
Maiya.
It's only a matter of time.
There's no place for her to go and she's alone.
We found a stolen shuttle and a resistor.
He was communicating with this man.
You said Maiya was alone.
Obviously you underestimated her.
They're alone.
Now, if we could just get them into the shuttle What about my call? My mother's going to very hurt if she doesn't her from me! Your mother? Hey, watch it, Vlad.
It one thing to try and kill me, but you say another word about my mamma, you're toast.
They must've taken Augur to the mother ship.
Da'an.
How do you know my name? Well, this may take a while to explain.
You don't have a while.
Okay, then would you believe that we've met before? No.
Where did you steal the shuttle from? - Earth.
- Impossible.
All of our shuttles are accounted for.
Well, you must've downloaded the flight recorder data by this point.
You tell me.
Who is this man? This craft will never make it to the mother ship.
That's the interdimensional drive, we don't need it to get to the mother ship.
Augur assured me the conventional drive was online.
- And you trust him? - With my life.
If your people continue to resist, they will be killed.
Surely you understand that by now.
We will never submit to you.
You call yourself a leader.
This is suicide.
You're trying to reason with me.
It's not the Taelon way.
Humans are incapable of reason, isn't that what you believe? - Shall I kill them all? - No.
Not yet.
Don't worry, the Taelons won't expect us to fly right down their throats.
Interesting.
You justify an obviously desperate move as a strategic one.
When we both know, it's our only option.
Gee, you're just a barrel of laughs.
My guess is that they are being held in the interrogation rooms.
So, we'll try there first.
You know this Taelon ship.
It's time to trust me, Maiya.
If you want a chance to live.
Let's keep moving.
Let's go! Freeze! What a shame.
It pains me to have to take you prisoner little sister.
I have no sister.
Mother would turn in her grave if she could hear you talk like that.
Who put her there? It was her choice to join with the Taelons.
To save her people, not to enslave them like you.
Yes.
But unfortunately for them she was too weak to survive the bioenhancements.
You, on the other hand I better die.
Really? Then that is your choice.
But what about the Imerians? What if I were to offer you a chance to save them? Return them to their homes unharmed, to live their lives in peace.
Unaltered? As human as they ever were.
I'm listening.
You know the respect that Jason commands.
If he were to join with the Taelons it would send a loud message to all of humanity that fighting the Taelons is futile.
Convince his to join with the Taelons and I will do as I promised.
And live the rest of my life without him? Even I could not be that cruel.
No, you'll die.
Just as you wished.
Take her to Jason's cell.
Just think, Maiya.
You will be able what our mother failed to by bringing freedom to your people.
Leave us alone.
I sense something inside you that is not human.
- I am Kimera.
- That is not possible.
My race destroyed Kimera millions of years ago.
Then how do you explain me? I cannot.
Unless Unless I come from a different world.
Different but also the same.
A parallel universe, where one of the Kimera survived your slaughter to give birth to me.
There is nothing in the Taelon archives that would suggest this is possible.
But you know I'm right.
You felt it when you touched me.
As it is written here.
The mark of the Kimera.
And of our enemy, the Jaridians.
If I were a Jaridian, you'd be dead by now and you know it.
Why did you come? We came here by accident, but now I believe you and I were meant to come together in this world also.
We are together in your world? In our world there's disagreement among the Taelons about how to treat humanity.
Zo'or advocates complete domination, you don't.
You and I are fighting together on the same side.
If what you say is true, than what would explain the differences in human evolution in the two worlds? The answer must lie somewhere in the history of the human/Taelon bond.
Maybe as far back as the beginning, when Ma'el first came to Earth.
Ma'el never came to Earth.
Maiya will do anything to save the Imerians.
Just like her mother.
She will convince Jason to join with us.
You continue to underestimate Maiya.
You should've made the offer to Jason yourself.
Jason will be more receptive to Maiya's plead for the freedom of her people.
He will respond to our power.
And the imminent demise of his people.
No.
The Imerians are prepared to sacrifice everything for their freedom.
Our only chance to get Jason to join with us is if he does it for Maiya.
For your sake, you'd better be right.
Hey, come here.
What do you want? Look nonchalant, but keep standing between the guards and me.
Do you want me to act as a screen for you? Do you have a better idea? Do you want to get out of here? Is there nothing I can say or do to make you reconsider? No.
Death is preferable to serving the Taelons.
Even is it means the survival of our people? Death is preferable to survival without free will.
And life, life without you, my love, is the same as death.
Something's been on my mind.
When you looked at Liam's body language, you knew he was telling you the truth.
What did you see when you looked at me? Your appearance and attitude tells the world exactly who you are.
But it isn't you.
You are hiding from yourself.
Ma'el remained on the Taelon home world and became our most enlightened leader, and my mentor.
Until he was forced from power.
Ma'el's arrival on our world is the key.
His influence changed the course of human evolution.
That must be so.
Humans on this Earth, these are the true species.
Human beings that have evolved without any Taelon interference.
Until we arrived 3 years ago.
Yes.
Now, I reconfigured these shuttle tubes.
I want to try to disintegrate the virtual barrier and get us out of this cell.
Now, the rest is up to you, guys.
Look, this is no time for the lack of confidence, I suggest you get ready.
Now.
- We got to find Liam.
- Wait.
Liam knows his shuttle is our only way home.
He'll make his way to the shuttle bay.
This way.
The prisoners have escaped.
Kill them on sight.
My friends will head for the landing bay.
It's our only chance to get home.
I need your help.
Follow me.
I need to get to the shuttle and repair the interdimensional drive.
I'll clear the way.
Maiya! Take cover! How do you expect me to work with all this commotion!? Seal off all the doors.
Kill me now.
No.
I want you to live the rest of your life knowing that I defeated you.
Go, go with Liam.
It's your It's your obligation to protect him now.
But our people, they need me now, more than ever.
Da'an lead me down here and sealed off the landing bay.
If not for him we'd all be dead.
That's impossible, he's a Taelon.
- It's the truth.
- Let's go! I've repaired the drive! Ma'el was your mentor.
He spent thousands of years on Earth with humanity.
He saw them as equals.
You must do the same.
Do you really believe that one being can really change the future? The future can't be changed.
No, look beyond the surface.
- The future can be changed - But only if fate will allow it.
I will do what I can.
Remember, the trust must start with you.
And with you.
Now! Goodbye, my friends.
Now, Liam, let's go! I love you.
You will always be with me.
Always fulfill your dreams.
Come with me, I will take you to safety.
No! Maiya, you can't.
There's nothing we can do.
It's too late.
Why did you do this? There's a good choice we're all gonna die, and even if we don't, you're never gonna see your people.
I had no choice.
It's our way.
And Jason's wish.
I've laid in the course that exactly mirrors our path here.
We can't hold this much longer! Where are we? Home, sweet home.
Is that a city? Yes.
What's it called? Kansas, Toto.
