Earth: Final Conflict s02e06 Episode Script

No meteor activity here.
We picked some activity on the south side of the river.
What is this? 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.
Is your strike team ready? On my command Companion forces worldwide will engage simultaneously.
Zo'or, I can be more effective if I'm fully briefed on what's happening Give the command! Ah, wonder what the old man would say.
What old man? Oh, my father.
You know, the only piece of land he ever owned was his body buried in.
And now look at me.
I own an entire square block of our nation's capital.
Me.
What a strange concept to own land.
Why would you wanna do that? Well, so I can leave something behind when I die.
To who? If you play your cards right, maybe you.
When my people die, we leave nothing behind but this for the crows to eat.
You sound like my father.
But in his case there was nothing left to pick on, except a few charred bones, you know.
- You father died in war? - No.
In the church.
Trying to get a bunch of sharecroppers off the vote for something.
They never did.
Taelon Security.
You all are being detained for questioning on suspicion of crimes committed against the Companions.
- What the hell is going on? - I don't know.
I thought you said she was in the jungles of Peru.
I said she could be in the jungles of Peru, or the streets of Bangkok, or San Francisco, or Tippecanoe for that matter.
For an ex-marine, Captain, your reconnoitering skills are slightly lacking.
The woman is a cultural anthropologist, Sandoval.
What do you expect? What do I expect? I expect the same loyalty you gave Boone, that's what I expect.
So it's true that Zo'or is just randomly pulling innocent citizens off the street and executing them on the spot.
- They are not being executed.
- That's not what I've heard.
So you now trust idle speculation rather then my words? Then tell me what is happening, Da'an.
There's been a rupture in the Commonality.
Utilizing the mental energy of human beings is the only remedy available to us until the rupture has been repaired.
And you stand idly by and do nothing while Zo'or just grabs people off the street? Would you prefer that we allow ourselves to revert to our primitive state? I'll make sure to ask Augur and Maiya that question.
If they survive.
When did this become a police state? We don't have the authority to grab innocent people off the streets on the suspicion that they are Liberation members.
Innocent? Observe the walking neon sign with the ponytail, Captain.
What about him? He's an escaped convict from Russia.
Then we have to let the Russians to deal with him.
But what about the girl and the others? What have they done? You don't know what's going on here any more than I do.
Collect them and take them to the lab.
Are they dead? Not quite.
Tell me, Captain, Why did you lie to me about whereabouts of this woman? You're calling me a liar.
And I resent that accusation.
Look, Sandoval If you continue this obsession with this woman, you're gonna endanger your position with the Companions.
Have you located the source of the rupture? No, not yet.
Do you understand the urgency of this situation? I understand that the Commonality, the spiritual nexus that links the consciousness of all Taelons, has been ruptured.
- And if that rupture isn't repaired - It will be the end of us.
We shall revert to our atavistic state.
Until the source of the rupture is located, we require a secondary spiritual energy to maintain the Commonality.
Energy that they're providing? We have created what humans would call a near-death experience.
By keeping the body in stasis, we have forced the soul out and into a psycho-kinetic containment field, which in turn channels that spiritual energy to us compensating for the rupture.
But those people Are quite content, Agent Sandoval.
The PK field responds to the individual consciousness of each sleeper manifesting whatever environment the soul requires.
You mean each one is creating their own heaven? That is one way of putting it.
How long can they last in stasis? It varies with the individual.
But they will eventually move beyond the NDE state and enter a condition of permanent irretrievable death.
If that happens and we have not yet located the source of the rupture, we will replace them with the new group of the sleepers.
Is there no alternative to handling this? One.
Find the cause of the rift.
Yes, Zo'or.
We have never questioned whether it is justified for us to kill others so that we might live.
Self-preservation is a concept that you taught me.
Perhaps it is time to take stock of our actions to determine if we have the right to sacrifice others for the survival of the Taelon race.
That is the reason you will never lead the Synod.
You were once strong enough to do what must be done.
Not anymore.
Your misplaced allegiance to this human race has destroyed you.
And what will happen when they all die? What do you think? We will get others to take their place.
Don't be nervous.
Everything will be fine.
Jason will make a good husband.
Ari! Okay, Ari, that's enough.
Run along, you'll have plenty of time to be with your sister.
Go on.
Ari was killed.
I don't know how, - but I know he was killed.
- We are all beyond death now.
No.
This is not real.
Nothing here is real.
Maiya, there were mystics among our people who believed that the whole universe is contained within us.
And all of it is locked away right here.
But unlocking that universe won't bring people from the dead.
Nothing can do that.
I'm no philosopher, but I know that I am your mother.
And through worlds and time, through life and death I have missed you, Maiya.
And nothing, nothing will take you away from me again.
Or me.
Jason.
One of the sleepers died.
Which one? Understood, Zo'or.
One of the subjects died.
Subjects? Don't you mean people? Why did you asked which one? Were you concerned that the "subject" that died was Isabel Martinez? Any progress on the scans? No.
I've been analyzing the Taelon scans, both Earth-based and galactic for hours.
I can't seem to trace the energy source of the Commonality drain Wait a second.
Found something? We've been searching for the source of the Commonality drain instead of letting it show us where it is.
You have to be more specific than that, Captain.
The rupture is drawing all the subatomic waves created by the Commonality.
Now, we can replicate the Commonality's harmonics, then the subatomic waves that we are creating should be drawn to the source of the rupture.
Very good.
Proceed.
You want me to do what? Lili explained to me that the Taelons are intentionally initiating near-death experiences to preserve the Commonality.
I want you to do the same thing to me.
Go play your games somewhere else.
People of my movement are dying all over the world.
Why the hell do you think I'm doing this? Thought of all people you'd be receptive.
Isn't this exactly what you want? Meaning what? You tried to kill me, Doors.
You are the one who sabotaged the shuttle.
And you can prove that? Do you deny it? No, you challenged my authority! We don't have time for this.
Our people are dying right now.
Allow Dr.
Park to do what I asked.
What have you got to loose.
What makes you think you can reach Augur and Maiya? I have greater control of my psychic senses than most human beings.
I know I can direct my consciousness toward them.
And you have a plan if you do find them? They entered a dimensional doorway to reach their personal heaven.
I can lead them back through that doorway and into their bodies.
I'm sorry, Jonathan, this is way beyond my league.
I'm not even sure any of this is possible.
Alright.
But if we think you're in too deep, we're pulling you out.
With your track record that doesn't give me a lot of comfort.
Hey, beaver, wait up.
This is all This is all familiar.
Good day.
Forest Park.
That's impossible.
That's what they said about hacking into Polytech's computer system.
But you did it.
Changed all your Ds to straight As.
Dad? How are you doing, son? No.
It can't be.
You're dead.
I heard a lot of greetings in time, but it's gonna be a pretty hard to top that one.
I'm dead.
That's it.
I'm dead and this This is Heaven? That's right.
It's your heaven.
Common up to the house.
Aunt Dee Dee and grandma Esther are cooking up something special for you.
Aunt Dee Dee? Grandma Esther? This isn't right.
I can very well be killing you.
I understand.
And you'd better wished me luck.
Be careful.
Stay clear.
Stay in the moment.
They are here.
They are definitely here.
I can find them.
I can find them.
In the tradition of our fathers and our mothers, I've left myself to you for all eternity.
Before the eyes of my family, I accept your vow.
No! You can't.
Who are you, stranger? Who'd interrupt such an occasion? Tell him, Maiya.
Tell him who I am.
I I don't know.
Concentrate, Maiya.
We have to find Augur and get back to lab before we all die.
I'm sorry, I don't know any Augur.
And I don't know you.
We just don't have time I'm not going anywhere.
Listen to me, this is a psycho-kinetic dimension where thing are real only as long as you believe in them.
It's all created by the Taelons.
The Taelons? You took yourself back to a time before the Taelons came.
Get him out of here.
No.
Let him speak.
There's nothing here but energy, Maiya.
Quantum wave patterns and spinning particles are given form by your own thoughts.
We've heard enough of this.
That's okay.
It's okay.
Don't you remember? How you told me Ari was killed by your war with the Taelons? How can he be here? What about Jason? Your husband? You're interfering with my daughter's wedding.
She was already married and her husband is dead.
Do I look dead to you? No.
Because here you're figment of Maiya's memory.
At a time before the Taelons came, when her world was perfect.
The most perfect day of her life, the day she married you.
Jason.
If you stop believing this This will all go away.
Look around you.
No! Maiya Are we gonna loose him? I've never seen anything like it.
It is as if he's alive, yet not alive.
All scans are negative.
There is no sign of the energy source that is causing the drain on the Commonality.
Then recalibrate the scan parameters and start again.
This is the next one to go.
Better start preparation for the next group.
Let's have a water fight.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You never got past the 60's.
You just couldn't accept that the fight was over.
You wouldn't say that if you would've been there from the beginning.
You had it too easy.
I mean, we were the ones who have marched in Selma.
Handcuffs on ourselves Dad, dad, dad, that was ancient history when I was a kid.
To everyone else but you the color that ever mattered was green.
Is that why you began to steal? No, I began to steal because you had me busted out of Forest Park.
And then I realized that there were people out there that actually had more than one pair of shoes, dad.
Lucky for you I did, otherwise you would've never got into MIT.
Check.
Well, MCI had more to do with that than luck.
It was their line that I used to hack into the register office and get in.
Check.
But it was this that got you through.
Mate.
With honors.
Yep.
But you were dead by then.
Just another way to leave us, leave me.
Fighting the good fight.
And what are you fighting for, son? A piece of art? A city block? A street sing with your name on it? What is this? It's supposed to be my version of heaven, right? It is.
So there must be something here you're missing.
Or something you need.
Well, it is certainly isn't you.
Or this co-comedian Norman Rockwell version of our family! What a joke! Don't you ever refer to our family as a joke! It's time for you to grow up! I never ran out on you.
- I died.
- Yes.
And I had to learn to do everything for myself because I knew no one else was going to.
It's not true, Augur.
I'll always be there for you, and so will Lili.
Who are you? You don't remember me? Maybe you remember the Companions? Maybe you remember our struggle to save the world? You can't solve your problems with your father by staying here, no matter how tempting it may look.
Lincoln, Augur, dinner's ready.
And grandma Esther made a poppy seed cake.
I can't pass up them calories.
Coming, son? We'll have plenty time to talk after dinner.
He's not your father, Augur.
He's just a memory of your father.
Perhaps you should be less concerned with his father than with your own.
Ha'gel.
You're not Ha'gel.
You're just a projection of my unconscious.
But your unconscious contains the collective memories of experiences of countless races.
Given that, I would say that I'm more real than most.
Come.
Be here.
Can you be so certain that I'm not the spirit of Ha'gel? And even is I am a psychic projection, would it hurt to show the image of your father some respect? No.
No, it wouldn't.
Here, my son, you can create a heaven where you truly belong.
On Earth you were neither man, nor Companion, you were something other, at war with yourself and with the world.
Then why the hell did you bring me into it? I succumbed to a biological imperative as the last of my kind.
I'm sorry.
Yeah? Well, it's the only world I know.
But not the only world there is.
Of what use is the physical universe when all the universes in here and in here are so much vaster and more interesting? Are you saying I should stay here? Trapped in this Taelon psycho-kinetic prison? The Taelons? Liam You are so much more than what they are, and what they create.
You can transcend.
"Yellow leaves are falling," "A fire horse bolts and runs.
" "The perfect day lost.
" I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
If only I had There's nothing to be sorry about.
You don't belong here.
Not yet anyway.
But I don't know what I'll do without you.
Just listen to the music.
In here.
The music of the human soul, timeless melody in which only the lyrics change.
That part of me I've given you with my undying love.
I love you, Jason.
I'll always, always love you.
Now go before it's too late.
Remember.
No matter where you are or how long we're apart, the music will go on.
Still holding, but I can't say for how long.
Call me if her condition turns for the worse.
I've completed the triangulation.
Our energy drain is emanating from right here.
I assume you want me to engage interdimensional.
It gets us there faster.
Proceed.
The subject 6 has approximately 12 minutes of life remaining, Zo'or.
And the others? There's no reason they'll last the night.
Round up another group.
If Liam is gonna make it, I really can't wait any longer.
He knows what he's doing.
He'll pull it off.
- How can you be so sure? - Because he was so sure.
Well, is I don't act right now, he is a dead man.
Maybe not.
After all, he's not exactly a man, is he? Well, then I guess we'll just have to put our money on 1/3 that isn't for his sake and ours.
Is that your final word? He stays in until he accomplished what he set out to do.
Then you get him out.
Alive.
You understand what this is? The doorway beyond this plane.
Enter that vortex and you will push past the boundaries of material worlds to what our people call Shahariath.
On Earth quantum physicists would call it the implicate order.
Place where everyone and everything is part of undivided energy continuum.
You being unique in all the universes have the ability to see this, know this, become one with this.
It's almost too much for the mind to grasp.
For others, perhaps.
Not for you.
Think, Liam.
An unbounded ocean of pure consciousness, infinite knowledge.
But back in Earth Lies the destiny that might very well destroy you.
What about your species? If I transcend the Kimera will no longer exist.
On this plane.
Let's get us as close as we can.
We only get one shot at it.
Get out of here, Captain! You cannot save me! Liam! You can't throw your life away.
You made us to see the truth, now you've got to see it for yourself.
We're loosing him.
- Pull him out now.
- But I thought you said I don't care what I said.
We loose him, we loose the fight with the Taelons.
Again.
Again.
- I can't! - Again! I can't! He's gone.
Liam Access Taelon Commonality frequency.
Liam We created our fathers here, because they are the strongest influences that we have.
But especially you, Liam, because you're struggling to know a father you've never even seen.
But it's What's wrong? What's happening to me? Listen, Liam I hate to rush you, but we're short on time here.
Why to go back to the world of pain when I gonna have Nirvana? There's no challenge in being pure energy, no danger or passion, no anger or sorrow.
No love.
All the pain, Liam, being human is the greatest gift there is.
The heaven you're looking for is back there on Earth.
Before I can know the secrets of the universe, I need to know myself.
It's here.
What is? The dimensional doorway that will lead you back to the Taelon lab.
Step through.
What doorway? Trust me.
What about the other sleepers? Take out that Taelon NDE machine and they'll be fine.
What about you? Just go.
Come on, Augur! Come on, get up! Free everyone, come on! Come on! Wait, wait, wait! Stop, stop! Get back, stay right where you are! Come on, get up, get up! Free everyone! Come on! Let's go! Come on! That way! Come on! Go! Go! Do you realize what they've done? Doomed the Companions and their own foolish race as well! If this means our ending, at least we are able to face it with our dignity intact.
How much time do we have? Not enough time to say your prayers.
Zo'or, do you feel it? Feel what? I The Commonality has been repaired.
Zo'or and Da'an report that the drain on the Commonality has ceased.
Good work, Captain.
And the sleepers? Awake and free.
Gesture of mercy from Zo'or? No, not quite.
Isabel and her friends freed themselves and escaped.
I should've known.
- Augur? - Where's Liam? He's gone.
Gone? You killed him! No, we had to leave him under long enough to save you, Maiya, everyone.
No, listen to me.
You wanted him dead and you took this chance to kill him! Augur! No.
It's not what's happened.
Liam? Liam! Who said you don't have a flair for the dramatic? - I have a good teacher.
- Yeah.
Careful.
Well.
What do you say? Oh, come on, give me a hug! Hey, you okay? Are you kidding? It's gonna take a lot more than that to rattle me.
Oh, I don't doubt it.
Ciao, baby.
What will you have? That's up to you.
