Earth: Final Conflict s04e07 Episode Script

Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict.
What've we got? Jaridians and they were shot down by a taelon energy canon.
My god, this could be the opening salvo of the Taelon-Jaridian war.
Welcome back to earth Vorjak.
The jaridian high command will not forget your actions when the breed crossing takes place I expect nothing less.
So, it is possible that these Jaridians could have been emissaries on a mission of peace.
It is not within the jaridian's nature to embrace a peacefull coexistence.
When a human being looks into the eyes of a Jaridian who would he see? The ennemy we have portrayed as evil incarned or someone more like himself.
- What's going on? - We are on emergency alert.
- Who gave the order? - Zo'or.
The command deck is now off-limits to all personal.
I am not "all personal" I am someone who has intimate knowledge of the implant enbedded in your neck.
And unless you want me to use it, I suggest you get the hell out of my way.
Now! "Maru kawa kali" This is a taelon canticle of war.
Be gone! They have come to earth with the promise of peace.
An alien race called the Taelons.
But there are those who resist these alien Companions.
But the Taelon true mission the secrets they hide will forever altered our world.
Transcription VO : Jrzac / Greatouille / L.
B / Bodhomme.
The fate of humanity now relies on those who dare challenge the future of earth.
By the Team Trad EFC for - How bad is it? - We were running full power test when Va'ar just took the taelon control core and shuttle off to the mothership.
All right, keep cool you've got five hours until that reactor goes critical.
I'm shipping you a prototype core from Taipei, you can use it for a safe shut down.
Look, I have to take this call tell to Fell to start the evacuation for a 20 mile radius.
Fell I know it's dizzy, but hang in there for me.
Mr President, thank you for interrupting your schedule.
Glad to Miss Palmer, my chief of staff informs me you don't use the word emergency lightly.
Well I'm hopping this turns out not to be one but perhaps you want to notify the A.
N.
A.
43 minutes ago the Taelons cut their hard-link to our copercom center.
Any indication as to why? None.
Now I did a quick check.
and their Companions have gone back to the mothership.
Yes, we confirm that.
Our national policy would suggest that we would be in favor of this, but you seem less than pleased Miss Palmer.
I'm pleased if they're going but they might be planning an attack.
And as you know Sir our all infrastructure is tied into their tech.
We can't go cold turkey without major consequenses.
Yes.
Understood.
A federal alert might be my next move, but I need to know what's going on and I need you to fill in the blanks for me.
Of course Sir, as soon as I have any answers you'll have them.
Thank you Miss Palmer.
I'm sure you you have your hands full.
Goodbye.
Liam! Your system lock me out.
Sorry, I was on with the White House.
Thomson's thinking wait and see until he get some answers.
He won't have long to wait, they have to scram the reactor at Three mile island six states are now in rolling blackouts.
I see it.
God, it's taking down the all East Coast grid.
Can't you get Da'an to tell you what the hell is going on? I wish I could but he's gone.
I've send the message five times, nothing and I've been doing a broad spectrum scan.
Send it again.
If the Taelons are going to war it's with the Jaridians.
They made first contact.
I sent them Lili Marquette with the ID drives.
They'll be identify tonight my place as their front man.
Did you consider it might not be the Jaridians.
Juging from their amicable natures, the Taelons can have an ennemy in every port.
Anyway if it is the Jaridians they aren't picking up.
What's plan B bigger.
You mean, other than finding a new chief operative? This is encoded with taelon energy signatures it'll get you pass mothership security.
Commmandeer a shuttle in the main docking bay and wait there for my orders.
********** Is that all? Trust me.
You'd prefer this over plan C.
And if I don't? Plan C involve the assist that you've been secretly putting through Princeton.
And there's a all of a bit after that Tate.
Just be ready.
Put your teams on alert, be prepared to be join civil forces.
We could be looking at an all out assault.
Street? Is that you? - Gotcha! - What was that? F-217 *** jet.
It's a holokit, I built it.
I got a T-Rex too, wanna see? Not now, the Tealons have shut off the contact with earth.
Need you to hack into their systems, monitor what's going on aboard the mothership.
Easier done, done said.
D.
O.
D satellites are reading their energy signature Looks like they're powering up all their weapons.
Satnews is covering the power ***.
Moscow TV's got Wow! What? This is from the observatory at Mauna Kea.
An armada.
It's not Taelon.
Can you work out its trajectory? No they're all on motion, just spectral shift heading straight for earth.
Immediate assistance required.
It's a Mayday in Resistance's code.
Her identify it's genuine who ever she is she's legit.
sending portal coordinates please activate repeat immediate assistance.
I've got the coordinates.
She's on the mothership.
Why would a resistance Mayday be coming from the mothership? Check again.
I've got five verifications, no ghosting, no echoes, no reflexions, who ever needs your help is on the mothership.
It sounds like she's in a bad way too.
Bring her out.
This actually work? We've had glitches.
Well we don't have time to test.
Stay clear the portal I've got at max the gain.
Let's hope we don't glitch this check.
The system can't take it.
******.
You're ok? Fine.
Kira? Our bodies aren't build to take that kind of field reversal.
You pull the Major Houdini.
So lucky you even read my signal.
I had to use a specimen portal in the medlab, I really don't think it's configure for people.
****** It's been a long time.
Too long.
I thought you were dead Kira.
Last time I saw you, it was You were lobbying for reconciliation with the Taelons.
And you didn't agree.
In fact I felt generaly rejected.
A week later your unit vanishes.
No boddies, no genetic trace, nothing.
What's going on? Renée, this is Kira Doren freshen off the "missing in action" list.
Welcome back.
Missing in action Where have you been? We were ambushed but the survivors have spend the past year and a half on the mothership.
The the Taelons, they they tortured me Liam.
If you hadn't issued memory block patches, I could have giving it all the way I would have.
They had these creatures like overgrown CVIs crawling around inside your brain.
It's not even you feeling the pain, but you wished it were because where you are is so much worse.
I shared a cell for a while with Lili Marquette.
She made me promise if I have to get out to let you know how much she valued your friendship.
Kira who is your first lieutenant? Jerry Bailey.
He died in the ambush.
And before while you are in the resistance, who did you report to? Major Robert Colison, he was my covered cutout.
Say no Bob.
We've covered the security check she's a full set of valid codes.
Kira's one of us, she has been trough a lot.
She needs our support.
Just being carefull.
I expect nothing less from Renée Palmer.
Doors International covered resistance some of the newer captives knew about your work.
It is an honor.
Now can one of you guys tell me what the hell is going on? It is pandemonium on the mothership, I took advantage of the chaos to send my SOS.
Is a Jaridian fleet on its way here intent on the wiping out the Taelons.
And probably the planet.
So that's it! How do we position ourselves, we don't know enough about the Jaridians to hope they might be the lesser of two evils.
The rest of my unit is still trapped on the mothership I've got to get them off.
There's no shuttle traffic, and our portals are fried.
But I could hack in a public facility.
There's a portal near the cell where they're holding my unit.
You could use my codes.
If could get a message to them I can tell them All senior Companion Protectors, report to the bridge immediately.
Maybe you shouldn't go.
It's the best way to stay on top of this crisis.
Street, do what you can for Kira's people.
Liam thank you for taking a chance.
I wasn't gonna make it on the mothership, much longer.
Major, I'm gald you could make it.
It won't take long.
May I have your attention please? You've all heard rumors of war.
Well I can neither confirm nor deny this.
All I know is after this meeting protectors without skrills and CVIs are ordered to return to earth.
Thoses with are invited to remain on board with me where we can best serve.
In light of recent developments the taelon synode has decided to leave this planet.
You have your orders.
You were right.
Something must be up.
Ten minutes to openning time we're shut down.
Let's go.
Please believe that I'd hoped it will never come to this.
Now I owe you the truth at the very least.
What do you talking about? This message was intercepted and blocked by the Taelons six years ago.
Just days before our arrival on earth.
I am Vorjak of the jaridian race.
The Taelons who are up to arrive on your planet will appear to be an advanced species, with benevolent intentions.
They are anything but.
Lend your assistance to them will be deemed, an act of treachery and punished accordingly.
You have been warned.
All these years you were held this from us.
Didn't you even give us the chance to choose our own fate.
Trust me.
Your chances of survival were far better in partnership with the Taelons.
- Partnership! What kind of - Copy of the message with proof that it never reached earth.
If you can show this to the Jaridians they may have mercy.
I have also sent a message of peace to them without Zo'or's knowledge.
Perhaps they too have grown very badly.
You haven't exactly won my trust.
How do you expect to succeed with the bid arrival? I am so sorry Liam.
I had great hope for our alliance.
You did the best you could.
But it's Zo'or's synode after all.
Goodbye my Goodbye.
Greetings earthling.
Judging by your accent I'd say, Crab Nebula.
Zeta Prime.
God I love the old verbal codes.
- But the Taelons never cracked them.
- Some of our own never cracked them.
Zeta Prime that can only mean Monique's pregnant.
- I'm impressed! - So am I, finally took some time off? - Yeah! - Congratulations.
Eveyone's here.
Karl, This is Kira Dorn from the Chicago cell.
Can you let her have your fire? It's all set, we've got control of the portal and, we've locked on to this tag signal from the mothership.
Let's do it.
Kira! - I knew you wouldn't let us down.
- Good to see you.
Majiv? Welcome.
Majiv! What's wrong? Went to Majiv's funeral sevaral months ago something happening.
It could be Taelon replicant.
I don't recognize him from the ship.
Hey Liam.
That was so close, you ok? - That was a jaridian weapon.
- I saw it too late.
- I owe you.
- Count it on.
Liam The hostages five of them are gone.
Freeze it.
Erase the hostages who are still here.
Anyone familiar? Edouardo Hernandez, he does surveillance for me.
He was in a car wreck last week, he's in a body case, There's no way that's him.
I think there all Jaridians.
These guys use Resistants.
So how did a jaridian raiding party managed to come along for the ride.
There was a second ID stream converging with ours from outside the solar system.
We open the portal, they call a ride.
How do they know to come disguised as Resistance? Maybe they intercepted Kira's distress call? Where did they get the visual identities or the ID technology.
It could have been from Lili.
The Jaridian had imprisoned her long enough to put her through a full mental intervention.
- Don't you think she will have told us.
- She might not know.
Ok, the Jaridians are part of uh, some king of uh, advanced unit.
We need to find them hoping we can use them for negociations.
The Jaridians have a battle fleet, they won't negociate for five scouts.
During my time on the mothership I hacked into their database looking for a way out, I found this.
It's designes for the Taelon most advanced particle beam canon.
I'd hoped to use it as a way to blast the bastards out of the sky Now, I know it may not be much, but it may be something.
Impressive.
I just might be able to rig this up from parts from my wharehouses.
The canon uses ID flux energy, so we'll have to build it inside a portal facility.
This place is as good as any.
Oh we can't wait around here entire infrastructure's about to collapse.
Karl, get a crew working on the canon we'll check back with you later.
President Thompson.
You wished an audience? Zo'or, since your arrival humanity has willingly assisted you but we have become some what dependant on your support.
I'm asking you not to abandon us but to allow us to fight with you against the Jaridians.
It was for this eventuality that you militarized humanity.
An objective than You and I achieved together.
To quote a human the fittest must survive.
This is simple Darwinian evolution at work.
Your own history is full of such exemples.
Do not over simplefy what is a terribly complex idea devised by a human.
Our evolution was interrupted by you.
You must take responsability for the changes that we did not ask for.
Thank you, Mr President for reminding me of what I'm must do.
I will take it under advisement.
You are dismissed.
Fine and I'll await your decision.
Yes.
You will.
Some like the fortitude to stand alone when ask to do so.
Perhaps the Companion protectors can best serve the Taelons by fighting the Jaridians using embassy defence systems.
A last stand bying you precious time to escape Zo'or.
Agent Sandoval is your CVI you command imperative functioning? Or has it deteriorated like everything else we've given to your species? It's functioning perfectly.
Then accept, the earth is doomed.
You can best serve the Taelons by dying when you are told to die.
- Are you in position? - I'm in the shuttle on deck six.
Power up the drives, I'm on my way.
but it is your calm and orderly conduct, that would get us through this crisis.
I have already personnals OK.
Here's the quick and dirty.
Words are about the jaridian fleet the Taelons **.
Global reactions run from pissed to freaked.
Power's out, there's casualties in the hospitals, air traffic control is fried.
It's be moving time by there folks.
But where the hell Gods **** when you need them Jaridians are a primitive alien - That's definitely not him.
obsess with the destruction of the Taelons and so we are leaving in order to deflect the danger away from earth.
We wish you peace and safety.
Perhaps we shall meet again.
- I can't believe this! - Parasites.
It's high time we took back our planet.
You're still bleeding.
Don't you think it's high time you had that treated.
Let's get you to a doctor.
More at it get you full medical, just in case if any of these nasty brain bugs will still crawling around.
- Might be a good idea.
- Fine maybe a medical stamp of approval will get you off my back.
Isn't one of your operatives? He used to be.
Put him in a brig.
Agent Sandoval I am manoeuvring the mother ship into low earth orbit to facilitate the arrival of our cruisers.
You are required on the bridge.
You must think I'm pretty important to be wasting time on me like this.
I've been cautious, for everyone sake even yours.
The caution is good if you can afford the time for it.
Meaning, I don't have time now to be careful? I desagree, a little caution can prevent a calamity.
And when it comes to Liam Kincaid how careful are you? I'm not gonna dignify that with an answer.
Nothing to worry about, perfectly normal.
And in excellent health.
Well it's looks like I owe you an apology.
Why? With a race of alien's running around the planet one can never be too careful? Peace.
Peace.
Everything ok? Good.
Despite they run under disguise, Jaridians are near the portal building, let's get over there.
They're gone.
I can feel it.
Hard to believe we're alone.
We wait so long for this.
We got what we wish for.
Let's hope it's not a hollow victory.
Police are firing rubber bullet and neural suppression gazes, well it must be a hundred thousand people out in the street now and of course the same question on everyone's mind: Is this, begining of the end? This is crazy.
We spend our time do what we know we work Kira's can is a long shot at best.
Maybe, but at least it's a collective choice, not just a relative one.
Look it's obvious you use *** *** playing one side against the other.
This is not an option here.
- Excuse me! - Slow down! You're way out a line Renée never flunch from a fight of her life.
If we die, at least we die free.
What I'm saying is, we don't know enough about the Jaridians to be taking that stand.
We may have to, anyway so we'd better have something to fight with.
OK, you keep your global switched on locate so I could find you.
You know anything's all over.
We go after that damned *** - Greetings earthling - Our ETA of the fleet is five hours any sign of the Jaridians escaped? - No.
And I've been running numbers on this thing.
The ID pulse energy isn't regulated, so the gun is unstable.
- ***** just trying to fire it.
- My compliments I've seen some great field *** rigs but this is the best.
Impulse energy shouldn't be a problem.
You've built the gun, here's the bullet.
It's taelon tech I took from the mothersip.
The only thing of the specs that couldn't be find on earth.
It should supply the right field modulation.
- Where did you find this girl Liam? - I'm not entirely sure.
Look Kira, the canon is still our last resort, our best bet is to negociate with the Jaridians.
Let's go checking with their *** You wish to speak with me Zo'or.
Yes.
I thought you should know that the Jaridains have not bothered to answer the peace initiative you send them without my knowledge.
I was merely attempting a diplomatic deception in order to gain time for our escape.
Pursuing futile goals is a human attribute.
It is timely we have left Earth Da'an.
Your thought has become infected.
I believe humans call such pursuit faith.
I am counting on the Jaridian's taste for vengeance.
The fleet will stop to destroy the Earth giving us enough time to reach the wormhole at Sirius B.
It would be many years before the Jaridians find us again.
Are the Taelons going to spend eternity, running away from this? If the Jaridians don't stop to destroy earth, what then? Taelon pilotes will fly suicide missions in battle cruisers maned by human crews.
You may yet have a chance to make your last stand.
I now count seven, no make that eight federal buildings that are on fire and the fire department just can't cover this now.
They just go to let things burn, it looks like it - Sorry Renée.
- Doctor Debry please come in.
It's about Kira Dorn I was reviewing her scans there's a fragment of titanuim sharpnel lodged in her back.
And judging by the scar tissue I'd say it's been there under a year.
Titanium? I've seen this before, the anti-personal grenade used by the Volunteers have a titanium sheath.
It's close enough to her spinal cord to be a problem in the future.
She should have it removed.
Could you email me the scans? I've got them right here.
Good Thanks.
I don't get the four sightings within a mile of the portal and each time the Jaridian disappears.
Renée was right, we're wasting our time.
Let's get back to her office.
The stars are so beautiful.
I want to consider what's about to happen.
After eighteen month of prison I feel like I'm just coming back to life.
That could be a temporary state.
Well if these are going to be my last hours.
Then I have to act upon an impulse I first had in Chicaco.
You're boiling up.
Body heat way off the scale.
You like distract me right? *** we spend the final hour before the invasion, in the park.
Well, you do turn me on but I should guess the intensity.
Body heat.
Not of a human and neither you.
Are you Kira? You're better than I thought.
You're passionate strong humanity's best.
Unfortunately the Jaridians are giving all Companion protectors a death sentence.
But if you joining me if I took you as my mate I could keep you alive.
No thanks, wasn't you said something about dying free.
OK, your decision.
You get to die before the rest of your species.
That combat wound is less than a year old.
Kira claim she's been imprisoned on the mothership over eighteen mounth.
Maybe she got caught trying to escape.
The Volunteers use energy weapons in space, grenades are too dangerous.
Something else is going on here.
Check the database for Resistances members injured in action last year.
*** limit the list to injuries caused by anti-personal grenades.
Now pull out the women.
And operate for a list without surgery.
Capt.
Lili Marquette.
Liam's friend? The one who Sandoval sent on a package tour of Jaridia? That's the one.
Bring up the last medical.
Identical wounds.
Now superpose Lili's images over Kira's.
What if the odd of two women having the exact same internal anatomy? - Zero.
- Not to mention blood type, enzyme profile and the DNA sequencing.
They'll be identical.
If you could look close enough I bet you find active code embedded in Kira's DNA.
It's really a copy of Lili's.
But any medical scan is program to identify as Kira Doren.
Nobody's got a type like that.
At least nobody on earth.
Come on Liam.
Answer.
Renée? She's got good instincts.
How do you beat the lab test? Our technology is active and adaptive.
This suit I'm wearing emulate every signature of the human anatomy sound, smell, even X-Ray.
Kira Doren exterior we got from Lili Marquette visual memory and everything else pure Lili Marquette.
It doesn't explain my response to you.
The intensity of it.
Jaridian take every life experience to the fullest.
Living it to the ***.
And you picked up on my attraction to you.
It's about passion Liam, something the Taelons no longer feel.
You obviously do.
Life is passion.
You know the Jaridians and Humans are more alike than you think.
It's really a shame the Taelons got here first and doomed the all planet rather than showing you how to really enjoy life.
You need to see something.
We can't be held responsible for what we didn't know.
The taelons blocked our warning transmission.
would appear to be an advanced species with benevolent intentions.
- Shame.
They are anything but.
But it changes nothing.
You humans allowed them to contaminate the earth.
It must be decimated as a lesson to others.
You and the Taelons are nothing but opposite side of the same coin.
Arrogant, cowardly, consumed by hatred and you presume to say a judgment over others? You're wasting valuable time for unfortunatly your death will prove nothing.
You picked a good moment to show up, remind me in the future to trust your instincts.
**** that you're close to the Jaridian than you thought.
Wait a minute, Kira's particule canon it's gonna be a ruse.
Let me use your global.
Release them.
Is Vega going over here? Vega can be closer than we think.
Power down the canon Whatever you do don't activate it? Be prepair for Jaridian assault.
Hey Karl Kira's their leader.
Understood.
We're on our way.
Street, we may need your technical saviour at the portal building.
**** Requesting a combat unit at the Washington portal.
Zo'or! I'm going tired of your interruptions agent Sandoval.
Data from the Mars probe shows that the Jaridian battle fleet is on a final approach to earth.
And your point? As enourmous as the fleet is it's producing no gravitational distortion.
It has no mass.
It'a an illusion.
"Shabra!" Return this ship to earth at once! Looks like everything's cool.
I'll go and check with Karl.
- You two keep an eye and wait for cavalry.
- Right.
- Hey Liam, no sign of the Jaridians? - Is Vega going nova yet? They got me.
- Why are you powering down the canon? - I have powered and ****! Not use trying your energy weapon close to the canon.
Resonance field cuts its own radiation.
The time for pretends is over.
Street, big problem, time to get creative.
There's no invasion on its way, is there Kira? Very good, I'm the invasion.
This device will blow with the earth atmosphere in a matter of minutes.
This planete will be reduce to a sun by its own sun.
It's a beautiful sun, I've seen it many times.
Prepare to leave.
Shoot it down! That's the signal! The atmosphere is about to cascade.
Get into the portal.
Kira.
I scramble all the data on the portal link.
The Jaridians won't be able to return For a while.
Have the entire portal system reconfigured and insure that the press devote significant attention to the salvation of earth by a loyal Companion protector.
Zo'or as a Compagnon protector I must advise you that humanity will feel the Taelons have broken a delicate trust.
The Jaridians pronounce a death sentence on your species.
Be assured they will return to carry it out.
Humanity will quicly realize that the Taelons are their only hope for survival.
Humanity is more likely to conclude that their survival is and always has been in their own hands.
The team TradEFC will welcome any good bilingual.
It is not well paid but, we are not here for the bread Contact Jrzac Or Shann'auc On We hope you had a great time.
See you for the next episodes.
