Earth: Final Conflict s04e14 Episode Script
Keys To The Kingdom
Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth, Final Conflict.
Any luck with the taelon code? I was up all night developping an all new form of mathematics before I can even get started.
It is a nine dimensions matrix She must solve all nine.
Humans are only now beginning to comprehend four.
The mother ship's shuting down again It's my fault, if I could have broken the code.
You did everything a human being could do.
Liam!!! You must be hoping this artefact will lead to more of Ma'el's research.
I feel certain that Ma'el believed that one day our two species would be equal partners.
So if Sandoval and Zo'or be beat us to the punch, Zo'or will destroy anything that doesn't fit his version of reality.
Concentrate Major.
Focus your mind, order your thoughts, make some kind of effort! Yes! 'Shabra' I lost it, I I couldn't sustain it.
Dismissed.
Ma'el has cursed us by designing his manual script so that a human is required to access it.
Do you imagine two thousand years ago he had any idea how useless humans would remain? Ma'el had faith in their evolution.
Ma'el was a fool.
We must have the information now.
It was just reveal to me that the next chapter of the manuscript is a primer on synthesising core energy.
We are on a precipice of salvation.
Only if Major Kincaid is ready.
The knowledge that will save us is here, and I will possess it.
No matter what price I must exact from humanity or Liam Kincaid.
But if it eludes its grasps.
Then I will summon him every day until the end of his days.
Secure the chamber.
They have come to earth with the promise of peace.
An alien race called the Taelons But they are those who resist these alien Compagnons.
But the taelon true mission, the secrets they hide will forever altered our worl.

Team Trad EFC: Season 4 - Episode 14 Keys to the Kingdom Ciao You're supposed to be here at noon.
"Petti carrita".
what's twenty minutes, there was a sale on Ferragamo.
I don't have time to talk about shoes.
Here people are allways in such a hurry.
You don't take time to enjoy life.
In Italia we come down to this like civilized people over a glass of "vino".
Not on a street, with all these common people.
"quel qualita" Do you have the item? Oh, che bellissima! I'll need to see the cash first.
I've a honest face, no? No.
"Ma vaffa a Napoli.
" freeze! "oh Madonna mia.
" I was buying a pair of shoes.
Ferragamo Magnifico.
When all of a sudden there was a.
"come si dice?" a tornado - out of nowhere.
- Tornado? "Si.
" "Madonna mia", I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move! Sounds like an energy vortex to me.
"come?" A sophisticated containment device, law enforcement uses it, but only as last resort.
Law enforcement, I should have known.
All law men are "scarafaggio".
Ma! I am a "Comtessa"! Capito 'Comtessa'? Alora, I have my rights no? No I mean yes! But it wasn't law enforcement, I checked both federal and local through my backdoor and no one was assign to the Village this morning.
Then who did this to me? Vera, if I remember correctly the last time you called us for help.
You're had cought dealing in black market taelon artefacts, no? Vera you gonna have to tell us what you're doing besides buying shoes.
- I was acquiring a piece of art.
- Taelon art? It was a very special request from a very wealthy client.
Actually he gave me a picture.
"Voy vedere"? - Ma'el's relic.
- Exquisite isn't it? I understand it's very old.
- Look at the detail.
- Vera, that's more than just a Picasso.
It contains an encoded manuscript with secrets vital to the Taelon, it's just like their Holly Grail.
Zo'or had me on the mothership again yesterday I got a glimpse over another chapter something about making core energy.
I thought thas was impossible So did I.
But maybe Ma'el found another way.
In any case that relic is kept under maximum security.
There's no way your supplier could have got close to it.
"Si", I gave him the override codes.
How did you get the override codes? From my client.
- And you've already sold him the relic? - No, no, no, there was no selling.
That's why I called you.
I was about to acquire the piece, when I was sucked into that vacuum.
Vortex So where is it now? "Amore" you think I know? There were dirty little people running and screaming everywhere, anyone could have taken it.
Where do we start? Vera's buyer knows way too much.
I never met him face to face.
All he gave me was an address, and a keycard.
I was supposed to make contact once obtained the piece.
"Oh, Dio mio" Liam what do you think he will do? I took a deposit in advance.
Tell him you've got the merchandise, and set up a meeting.
But I don't have it.
We'll go.
In the meantime you can't stay at your apartment.
We gonna have to hide you until we know more.
Hide! Where? Oh, oh, no, no.
I I'm a contessa, I will hide, ok? I will hide in a villa in a yacht, but not in a trailer.
Liam.
Liam please! Is this is my new roommate? In the flesh.
Hi, I'm Street.
Ciao seniorina Street! You're not going anywhere.
Liam I have a tiny sail boat, in the middle of the mediterranean anyone won't ever notice "Amore", you could you could come with me.
You know, to - protect me you know.
- It wouldn't be safe.
No? For you or for me? Both.
You wanna see your bunk? Bunk? Where you crash.
Crash? - "Ma che cosa", her english is worst than mine! - Well, at least you two have something in common.
Ciao.
- Payne Howard suite.
- Happy Time Holograms, Corporate office.
So Mister Happy Time is an expert on the mothership security.
Only one way to find out.
It's time, come on.
- We're inside a portal.
- Something tells me we're not here for happytime.
Liam! Augur! Renée.
- How the hell are you? - Should have known.
So you're the one who hired Vera to steal Ma'el's relic.
Steal! Such an ugly word, all I want is to do is borrow it for a while.
Now, how about a cappuccino? I've got this new maroccan blend smoother than silk.
Don't try to change the subject.
You know what that relic means to the Taelons, and you know Zo'or's crazy enough to do just about anything to get it back.
So why would you take a such an outrangous risk.
- Trust me, it's for a good cause.
- Your cause nearly got Vera killed.
Killed? I was the one who saved her.
The energy vortex almost suffocated her.
Luckily - I had this with me.
- An energy disruptor.
So you shutted out the vortex.
I followed Vera to the rendezvous.
Just to play it safe.
Look, I didn't come to you guys because I wasn't ready yet.
Ready for what? I know I told you that, I was going to take some time off 'smell the roses', but I couldn't let go.
Call me obsessed, but I couln't stop thinking about how to get rid of the Taelons, you know.
Well, join the club.
How did you get access to all this stuff? With the little help from Ronald Sandoval.
Voice recognition protocol Sandoval, Ronald.
Free pass to the mothership, nice.
I've got Sandovald covered.
Voice code, retinal scan, DNA everything I need to get where I have to go.
Anyway, I've replicated Taelon technology.
I've intercepted their transmitions and I even tried reasoning like a Taelon.
- And I've come up with one inescapable conclusion.
- Which is? The Taelons were more evolved So, I went back to the files that Emma King downloaded from Ma'el's relic.
My translation is imperfect but from what I could decypher the final chapter's of Ma'el's manuscript are a primer for synthesising core energy.
I'm impressed.
Think of it: If I If humanity can acces the final chapters before Zo'or the Taelons will give us anything we want.
We can finally win Earth back.
But Ma'el designed the manuscript, so that only Zo'or and Liam can access the text.
Maybe, maybe not, but I won't know for sure until I get my hands on the relic.
If the Taelons find out that you're involved, you're a dead man.
Look, we can either do this together or we can work against each other.
I'm not backing off.
Sounds to me we like don't have a choice.
Great! So it'll be just like old times then.
What can you tell us about Vera's supplier? Daniel Forteli Volunteer second class, assigned aboard the mothership.
I try to contact him and anybody hasn't responded.
Computer access Volunteer database active personal.
Locate Forteli Daniel E.
Forteli, Daniel E.
Records classified.
Override classified status, Compagnon Protector security protocol 5.

9 You've accessed a confidential file Major.
Explain your reasons.
Daniel Forteli may have been involved in a crime against the Taelons.
Volunteer Forteli died tragically in a plasma explosion early this morning.
Not to speak hell of the dead but I heard a rumor Forteli was smuggling contreband from the mothership.
That's currently under investigation.
My sources tell me that a art dealer Vera Rizzori was Forteli's best customer.
Now, if memory serves Miss Rizzori is an accointance of yours.
Rizzori the name's familiar, she's wanted for question? Not officially.
But, should she contact you, please notified me immediately.
You're always the first on my list.
Well, stick a fork in this turkey is done.
Did he give you the name of Rizzori's client? No, but he did confess to running a smuggling ring.
Tate I don't care who's stealing ashtrays from the mothership.
I want what's inside that relic.
I thought only Kincaid and Zo'or can open the manuscript.
Let me tell you what I think.
Whoever commissioned the theft wouldn't risk Armageddon unless he or she found a way to break Ma'el's encryption code.
But you don't know that for sure.
Incinarate the body when you're finished.
Well I hope you're hungry.
That's food? *** chips and celeri juice happen to be a great way to *** your metabolism.
*** "Guard".
You see ? She's trying to poison me.
You're been melodramatic.
I am not melodramatic.
Liam, "di me" "mi vole ammassare" "Io sono cherta que me vole invelenare.
" - Melodramatica - Get my email? - Yeah.
- che cosi incredibile.
Well, I don't even get a hug? - Sure.
- Sure!! Oh, listen hey, I have some stuff back in the lair could you come and help me pack it up? - Yeah, yeah.
- Good, thanks.
I beg you please, I can not stay in this sardine can another moment.
There's no heat, I'm freezing.
- I need someone to keep me warm! - Oh, please.
Here you can take my smart coat.
That's not what I had in mind.
What's this smart coat? Only the latest in the wearevol technology.
This baby is equiped solar panels for recharging, a UV protective lining.
It's like my own personalized mainframe, and you can program it to keep the temperature you like.
- Does it come in black too? - Sorry, it's an original.
Yes, it's a little too original for my taste.
Suit yourself.
Zo'or wants me on the mothership.
To decode Ma'el's manuscript? I wonder what he's gonna do when he finds out that is missing? I'll know soon enough.
Keep an eye on Vera.
I'll be back as fast as I can.
This time if you withhold any effort to open the manuscript you shall remain aboard the mothership until we succeed.
- I wasn't holding out on you.
- Silence.
Concentrate Major Kincaid.
Open you're mind to what you see before you.
Zo'or! - What have you done ? - It is a forgery.
You knew the relic was missing but you did not inform me? I couldn't be certain.
Rest assured, I already have operatives in the field.
I do not wish to ear your feeble reassurances.
Mothership security has yet again been violated and I hold you responsible.
I should execute you directly for your incompetence.
That would be a strategic error.
I'm your best hope at recovering what was stolen.
And you Major Kincaid, you have no knowledge of the theft? I heard a rumor that Volunteer Forteli was running a smuggling ring.
But he died before I can question him.
Stealing Ma'el sacred manuscript is an act of war.
If the relic is not returned within 4 hours I will destroy a major city on the North American continent.
"Amore" you really believe Zo'or will do this? Zo'or is out of his mind.
He is sitting on enough power to pulverise the planet.
"Alora" let's find some nice big bomb that can stop him.
We can't *** off a Taelon attack, we don't have the technology.
I've alerted the Atlantic National Alliance, but the best that they can do is wave a white flag.
This isn't a game Vera.
Our only hope to save the planet, is to find that relic now, what else haven't you told me? "Amore" I tell you everything, everything.
Listen to me.
The taelon's most valuable artecfact is missing and they're willing to wage into an interspecies war over it.
War "mamma mia" I was just trying to make a living.
Maybe you should look into another line of work.
Liam "amore" please, I beg you, I'm so sorry I took a few liberties with the import laws, OK.
Yes.
But only because you know, I have the new gallery now.
And it's just so expensive to remodel.
Well, your new gallery, it's gonna be a gravel pit, unless we find that relic, bring it back to the mothership in 3 hours.
OK, "va bene" and that's we will do.
OK? So it was those gasly Taelons who nearly had me killed in that vacuum.
No, it was your old friend Sandoval, and he deliberatly cupped the operation off the box, which is never a good sign.
Well, when this is over, I have to give him a big peace of my mind.
Right now, you gonna stay here.
And if you remember anything you make sure you global me.
"Capice?" "Si" "Va bene amore, va bene.
" "Va bene.
" - These're yours? - Let see.
Ah, Emma King's file from Ma'el's manuscript.
- This must be the backup.
- Shut it off.
Come on imagine what could happened if "WE" could decode the other chapters.
You planted thoses disks so I'd find them, didn't you? It's about the secret to synthesising core energy, come one, that's gotta twist your skirt, just a little.
Augur - you don't even have the relic.
- Not yet.
I told you "No", and I meant it.
Come on, you're the key.
Your mind works in ways no one elses does, not even mine.
Not saying a lie right? - I'm out of here - Wait, wait, wait.
Listen.
You could be the only human being in two millenia advanced enough to decypher Ma'el encryption code.
You think multi-dimentionnaly, that's a gift.
It's a curse.
When my head goes into multi, it's.
it's like me in another reality.
You think in theorems and conjectures.
Instead of words and numbers, no one else can do that.
It fries my brain.
- I never know if I'm gonna pull out of it.
- Yes but you always do.
Come on.
- Just asking for a little favor.
- No, you're out of favors.
*** remember the Alamo? I remember.
You sprang me from that research facility in Alamo.
I was gonna spend the rest of my life there, as a lab rat 'cause this gift of mine.
I gave you a new identity so you wouldn't have to.
Did you do it for me Augur? Or did you did it because you thought that one day you could use me? Whoever unlocks the secret of synthesising core energy controls the destiny of humanity.
It's not my problem.
What's in the bag Vera? - Nothing my lunch.
- It's the relic, isn't it? - Basta Renee.
- Humm, I don't think so.
Come on, now, let me just see if I got the story straight, ok? You know, when you were ambushed by that energy vortex you realized you would have another potential buyer, a better buyer.
So you grab the relic from Forteli, stashed it in a safe deposit box at the bank? Hoping you will find out who set the trap, so you could sell it to the highest bidder.
Am I getting close? Is there anything wrong with maximazing the profit? To start with, you abused your relationship with Liam, you knew he lead you to the other buyer.
So you told him you didn't know where the relic was, when you had it all along right here.
Renée men exploite women all the time.
What's wrong in reversing the cliché.
Oops, wrong.
What's wrong Vera, is that you are a liar.
- And a thief.
- yeah, see I thought we were friends, you know.
That's not nice Renée - that's not nice.
- Vera you're in over your head.
Take the relic to Liam, if you come clean now maybe he'll still be able to protect you.
"Bella" I don't think you're in any position to be giving orders.
You listen to me in less than three hours Zo'or starts killing innocent people.
Do you want that? Give me your global and your weapon.
Donne me.
"Andiamo, andiamo.
" "Bene.
" I believe this is now set, to overload.
It would be such a shame if someone got hurt.
Get away ! - Get away from it ! - "Ciao bella".
Go, move, move back! Miss Rizzori.
I was surprised to receive your call.
And I was surprised to receive your energy vacuum, wich by the way ruined my hair.
As we discussed perhaps I can compensate you for the inconvenients.
"Va bene".
I didn't expect Vera to have a gun.
I can't believe I let her get away.
You did what you had to.
You saved lives.
Any luck finding her? She's not on the communication grid.
Try tracking my global, if we're lucky she didn't think to turning off the locator.
There she is.
At the gallery.
On my way.
You need some help for those bags? Liam! I'm so glad you're here.
I was just coming to see you.
Cut the act Vera, Liam knows everything.
I take that.
"Grazie".
- Who did you sell it to, Sandoval? - "Amore" you told me he was going to kill me.
We've had heard by now if Sandoval had return the relic to the mothership.
- Why is he holding it for? - Do you think I know? That "picolo" man is crazy, he threaten to kill me, if I didn't give him the name of my client.
You told him Angur hired you? He offers me 300 000 dollars.
- I turned him down ***.
- So you didn't give him a name.
I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
"Amore", he threaten to break all of my bones.
Augur's not answering.
Lets get over there now.
What do we do with her? Don't worry about me, I won't move away until you come back.
You bet you won't.
Liam, "que bestia".
Liam ?! LIAM !! Augur! Come on, I know you're here, I can smell the cappuccino.
Here you are.
What? You give me the silent treatment? Street leave, now.
Look, I know you're made at me but I thought about what you said, and I think maybe you have a point.
- You don't have to say anything.
- Yes I do.
It's not cause I owe you, 'cause I don't.
But if synthesising core energy is really such a big deal then maybe really is my destiny.
Maybe I'm really the only one who can decode the manuscript.
I don't think we've met Miss Street? Street run!! Bozo This facility is at your disposal.
We're going to need an interdimentional generator.
- What for? - If we Do you want us to explain, nine dimensional chaos mathematics or decode the manuscript? - Get them what they want.
- An ID generator? Can't they portal out? Not without the displacement modulator.
Go! Look, the chances are we're not going to make Zo'or deadline.
Now, are you willing to die? Let's make sure we undestand each other.
I will control the secret of synthesising core energy.
OK, OK, we get it.
But what if we flame out? Then you die with me.
Oh, and Miss Sreet we've done an exhaustive global search and your DNA doesn't appear to be on record anywhere.
Apparently, you don't exist.
Another bureaucratic snafu.
What a surprise.
You have one hour and fifty seven minutes left.
Sandoval's biochemical signature.
Blue algae shake.
He's got Augur, he's got Street as well.
Sandoval finally have gone off the deep end less than two hours left and he still hasn't return the relic.
Well the Jaridians ignored him and sent a raiding party, the Taelons are dying, his entire power could be gone in an instant.
Unless he controls the secret of synthesising core energy.
It explain why he's kept this operation off the book, he's got to be pretty desperated by now.
Augur said there might be a way to access Ma'el's data without Zo'or.
But who is he gonna use as the human element? If he can replicate Zo'or's signature, he can replicate yours.
But the relic won't work unless it recognizes a human intellect equal to the Taelons.
Augur is a genius but doesn't make him equal to the Taelons.
There's only one person smarter than Augur.
Would Augur involve Street in something this dangerous? We won't know until we find them.
Obviously you have some idea on how to do that.
I'm gambling Street's smart coat is tuned to the same frequency as her global.
Damn it, this isn't gonna work.
- Need a break.
- I don't have time.
None of this would happened if it won't for you.
Look, I'm sorry I got you involved.
Just like to be back to that reseach lab in Alamo.
Hey hey hey hey Street, come on.
- You don't mean that - Don't I? - No.
My life is over.
All I am now is a freak, opponent some big intergalactic game.
But the worst part of all is that I thought you're me best friend.
I thought I could trust you.
Street look, sorry for what I did.
Okay I was wrong, I know that.
At least, give me a chance to make make things right.
How can you? Either I get this *** of crap metal to work and give Sandoval what he wants or, the Taelons do a major lambada on planet Earth.
Unless and what if I told you there's another option.
I'd say you're delusional.
But you trust me enough to help me right? What do you have in mind? I was thinking of the little interdimentional sludge.
I got a signal, but it's weak.
Durham North Carolina, she's in an abandoned military facility.
Augur.
Street and I have been held in hostage by "You-Know-Who".
I was able to sneak on a signal by piggybacking it on an ID frequency.
Would Sandoval detect it? ID *** sludge *** Listen, Sandoval's ready to call Zo'or's blood they're both out of their minds.
We've got a fix on you, we'll get there as fast as we can.
- Can you brief us on the security system? - Getting in there won't be the challenge It's getting out that it'll be a little sticky.
You'll need to bring a couple of toys.
Voice recognition protocol.
Ellis Joseph.
Identity confirmed.
Access granted.
Voice recognition protocol.
- Sandoval, Ronald.
- Identity confirmed.
Access granted.
Four levels down.
Report.
I don't have audio, because of the ID feedback but it looks like they're doing something right.
Notify me as soon as they finished to download.
One more firewall and presto, I'll be in the main security system.
Six forty eight, they should be inside by now.
It's your call.
Liam never let us down before.
Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
What the hell.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly No one is to leave the building, is that clear? - Damn it! - Talk to me Tate.
Surveillance system's down.
Send a security detachment to the lab on the double.
Okay, let's go.
Come with me.
What took you so long? Save the reunion for later.
Want a displacement modulator? OK, this won't be pretty but I've 99% of a standard ID portal here.
You might loose your hair.
They'll be here any minute.
It's too long, move it.
Everybody inside the portal.
Come on Augur.
Hey, this should work.
I'm having trouble modulating the ID conduit.
You can do it Augur.
The charge of the displacement modulateur don't work.
Here, let me try.
Reversing polarity Yeah! A deal Sandoval you keep my friends out of this, and I won't let Zo'or know you're holding that on him.
So you managed to avoid an interspecies conflict by less than one half hour.
The relic was discovered in a laboratory of an abandoned military bunker in North Carolina.
When Major Kincaid inform me of its location, I immediatly dispached the SWAT team to recover it.
Who masterminded the theft? We don't know.
The bunker was destroyed in the attack, obliteraring any evidence.
What of the art dealer who made the original arrangements.
We were never able to identify her.
But I can assure you Zo'or the mothership smuggling ring is shut down permanently.
There will be no more thefts.
Recent experience has tought me that your reassurances mean absolutely nothing.
You are demoted to security level two until further notice.
Yes Zo'or.
Place your hand on the relic Major.
Concentrate.
Focus your mind on nothing but what is before you.
I have combed to your mind Major and I'm now convinced.
Of what? You are not withholding any effort.
You truly have an inferior intellect.
Unfortunately it will take quiet some time for your species to evolve to a level equal to the Taelons.
I only hope that we can evolve fast enough to save you from extinction.
So, I guess you expect me to thank you for saving me from the Taelons You're welcome.
"Ciao amore.
" "Ciao" Try to stay out of trouble.
What fun would that be? Hey, I guess we'll never know if you could have cracked Ma'el's code? - I guess not.
- Bu if you did.
Could you imagine how it would change everything, I mean, you could have save the world from taelon oppression.
Never thought of myself as a super hero before.
Well, you know, you can do anything you want Street that's why I love you so much.
Give me a hug! I guess we probably shouldn't be seen together for a while.
Probably not! Augur? What I said before is true.
You really are my best friend.
We see everything she does.
The nanobots from the stunt dart have been in her blood stream 27 hours and have begun to *** Is there any way to fine tune the reception.
Let's them goes by the picture will improve, and Miss Street will have no idea what's going on.
So do you want me to pick her up? Not yet.
Right now I'm wanna watch.
Any luck with the taelon code? I was up all night developping an all new form of mathematics before I can even get started.
It is a nine dimensions matrix She must solve all nine.
Humans are only now beginning to comprehend four.
The mother ship's shuting down again It's my fault, if I could have broken the code.
You did everything a human being could do.
Liam!!! You must be hoping this artefact will lead to more of Ma'el's research.
I feel certain that Ma'el believed that one day our two species would be equal partners.
So if Sandoval and Zo'or be beat us to the punch, Zo'or will destroy anything that doesn't fit his version of reality.
Concentrate Major.
Focus your mind, order your thoughts, make some kind of effort! Yes! 'Shabra' I lost it, I I couldn't sustain it.
Dismissed.
Ma'el has cursed us by designing his manual script so that a human is required to access it.
Do you imagine two thousand years ago he had any idea how useless humans would remain? Ma'el had faith in their evolution.
Ma'el was a fool.
We must have the information now.
It was just reveal to me that the next chapter of the manuscript is a primer on synthesising core energy.
We are on a precipice of salvation.
Only if Major Kincaid is ready.
The knowledge that will save us is here, and I will possess it.
No matter what price I must exact from humanity or Liam Kincaid.
But if it eludes its grasps.
Then I will summon him every day until the end of his days.
Secure the chamber.
They have come to earth with the promise of peace.
An alien race called the Taelons But they are those who resist these alien Compagnons.
But the taelon true mission, the secrets they hide will forever altered our worl.

"Petti carrita".
what's twenty minutes, there was a sale on Ferragamo.
I don't have time to talk about shoes.
Here people are allways in such a hurry.
You don't take time to enjoy life.
In Italia we come down to this like civilized people over a glass of "vino".
Not on a street, with all these common people.
"quel qualita" Do you have the item? Oh, che bellissima! I'll need to see the cash first.
I've a honest face, no? No.
"Ma vaffa a Napoli.
" freeze! "oh Madonna mia.
" I was buying a pair of shoes.
Ferragamo Magnifico.
When all of a sudden there was a.
"come si dice?" a tornado - out of nowhere.
- Tornado? "Si.
" "Madonna mia", I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move! Sounds like an energy vortex to me.
"come?" A sophisticated containment device, law enforcement uses it, but only as last resort.
Law enforcement, I should have known.
All law men are "scarafaggio".
Ma! I am a "Comtessa"! Capito 'Comtessa'? Alora, I have my rights no? No I mean yes! But it wasn't law enforcement, I checked both federal and local through my backdoor and no one was assign to the Village this morning.
Then who did this to me? Vera, if I remember correctly the last time you called us for help.
You're had cought dealing in black market taelon artefacts, no? Vera you gonna have to tell us what you're doing besides buying shoes.
- I was acquiring a piece of art.
- Taelon art? It was a very special request from a very wealthy client.
Actually he gave me a picture.
"Voy vedere"? - Ma'el's relic.
- Exquisite isn't it? I understand it's very old.
- Look at the detail.
- Vera, that's more than just a Picasso.
It contains an encoded manuscript with secrets vital to the Taelon, it's just like their Holly Grail.
Zo'or had me on the mothership again yesterday I got a glimpse over another chapter something about making core energy.
I thought thas was impossible So did I.
But maybe Ma'el found another way.
In any case that relic is kept under maximum security.
There's no way your supplier could have got close to it.
"Si", I gave him the override codes.
How did you get the override codes? From my client.
- And you've already sold him the relic? - No, no, no, there was no selling.
That's why I called you.
I was about to acquire the piece, when I was sucked into that vacuum.
Vortex So where is it now? "Amore" you think I know? There were dirty little people running and screaming everywhere, anyone could have taken it.
Where do we start? Vera's buyer knows way too much.
I never met him face to face.
All he gave me was an address, and a keycard.
I was supposed to make contact once obtained the piece.
"Oh, Dio mio" Liam what do you think he will do? I took a deposit in advance.
Tell him you've got the merchandise, and set up a meeting.
But I don't have it.
We'll go.
In the meantime you can't stay at your apartment.
We gonna have to hide you until we know more.
Hide! Where? Oh, oh, no, no.
I I'm a contessa, I will hide, ok? I will hide in a villa in a yacht, but not in a trailer.
Liam.
Liam please! Is this is my new roommate? In the flesh.
Hi, I'm Street.
Ciao seniorina Street! You're not going anywhere.
Liam I have a tiny sail boat, in the middle of the mediterranean anyone won't ever notice "Amore", you could you could come with me.
You know, to - protect me you know.
- It wouldn't be safe.
No? For you or for me? Both.
You wanna see your bunk? Bunk? Where you crash.
Crash? - "Ma che cosa", her english is worst than mine! - Well, at least you two have something in common.
Ciao.
- Payne Howard suite.
- Happy Time Holograms, Corporate office.
So Mister Happy Time is an expert on the mothership security.
Only one way to find out.
It's time, come on.
- We're inside a portal.
- Something tells me we're not here for happytime.
Liam! Augur! Renée.
- How the hell are you? - Should have known.
So you're the one who hired Vera to steal Ma'el's relic.
Steal! Such an ugly word, all I want is to do is borrow it for a while.
Now, how about a cappuccino? I've got this new maroccan blend smoother than silk.
Don't try to change the subject.
You know what that relic means to the Taelons, and you know Zo'or's crazy enough to do just about anything to get it back.
So why would you take a such an outrangous risk.
- Trust me, it's for a good cause.
- Your cause nearly got Vera killed.
Killed? I was the one who saved her.
The energy vortex almost suffocated her.
Luckily - I had this with me.
- An energy disruptor.
So you shutted out the vortex.
I followed Vera to the rendezvous.
Just to play it safe.
Look, I didn't come to you guys because I wasn't ready yet.
Ready for what? I know I told you that, I was going to take some time off 'smell the roses', but I couldn't let go.
Call me obsessed, but I couln't stop thinking about how to get rid of the Taelons, you know.
Well, join the club.
How did you get access to all this stuff? With the little help from Ronald Sandoval.
Voice recognition protocol Sandoval, Ronald.
Free pass to the mothership, nice.
I've got Sandovald covered.
Voice code, retinal scan, DNA everything I need to get where I have to go.
Anyway, I've replicated Taelon technology.
I've intercepted their transmitions and I even tried reasoning like a Taelon.
- And I've come up with one inescapable conclusion.
- Which is? The Taelons were more evolved So, I went back to the files that Emma King downloaded from Ma'el's relic.
My translation is imperfect but from what I could decypher the final chapter's of Ma'el's manuscript are a primer for synthesising core energy.
I'm impressed.
Think of it: If I If humanity can acces the final chapters before Zo'or the Taelons will give us anything we want.
We can finally win Earth back.
But Ma'el designed the manuscript, so that only Zo'or and Liam can access the text.
Maybe, maybe not, but I won't know for sure until I get my hands on the relic.
If the Taelons find out that you're involved, you're a dead man.
Look, we can either do this together or we can work against each other.
I'm not backing off.
Sounds to me we like don't have a choice.
Great! So it'll be just like old times then.
What can you tell us about Vera's supplier? Daniel Forteli Volunteer second class, assigned aboard the mothership.
I try to contact him and anybody hasn't responded.

Explain your reasons.
Daniel Forteli may have been involved in a crime against the Taelons.
Volunteer Forteli died tragically in a plasma explosion early this morning.
Not to speak hell of the dead but I heard a rumor Forteli was smuggling contreband from the mothership.
That's currently under investigation.
My sources tell me that a art dealer Vera Rizzori was Forteli's best customer.
Now, if memory serves Miss Rizzori is an accointance of yours.
Rizzori the name's familiar, she's wanted for question? Not officially.
But, should she contact you, please notified me immediately.
You're always the first on my list.
Well, stick a fork in this turkey is done.
Did he give you the name of Rizzori's client? No, but he did confess to running a smuggling ring.
Tate I don't care who's stealing ashtrays from the mothership.
I want what's inside that relic.
I thought only Kincaid and Zo'or can open the manuscript.
Let me tell you what I think.
Whoever commissioned the theft wouldn't risk Armageddon unless he or she found a way to break Ma'el's encryption code.
But you don't know that for sure.
Incinarate the body when you're finished.
Well I hope you're hungry.
That's food? *** chips and celeri juice happen to be a great way to *** your metabolism.
*** "Guard".
You see ? She's trying to poison me.
You're been melodramatic.
I am not melodramatic.
Liam, "di me" "mi vole ammassare" "Io sono cherta que me vole invelenare.
" - Melodramatica - Get my email? - Yeah.
- che cosi incredibile.
Well, I don't even get a hug? - Sure.
- Sure!! Oh, listen hey, I have some stuff back in the lair could you come and help me pack it up? - Yeah, yeah.
- Good, thanks.
I beg you please, I can not stay in this sardine can another moment.
There's no heat, I'm freezing.
- I need someone to keep me warm! - Oh, please.
Here you can take my smart coat.
That's not what I had in mind.
What's this smart coat? Only the latest in the wearevol technology.
This baby is equiped solar panels for recharging, a UV protective lining.
It's like my own personalized mainframe, and you can program it to keep the temperature you like.
- Does it come in black too? - Sorry, it's an original.
Yes, it's a little too original for my taste.
Suit yourself.
Zo'or wants me on the mothership.
To decode Ma'el's manuscript? I wonder what he's gonna do when he finds out that is missing? I'll know soon enough.
Keep an eye on Vera.
I'll be back as fast as I can.
This time if you withhold any effort to open the manuscript you shall remain aboard the mothership until we succeed.
- I wasn't holding out on you.
- Silence.
Concentrate Major Kincaid.
Open you're mind to what you see before you.
Zo'or! - What have you done ? - It is a forgery.
You knew the relic was missing but you did not inform me? I couldn't be certain.
Rest assured, I already have operatives in the field.
I do not wish to ear your feeble reassurances.
Mothership security has yet again been violated and I hold you responsible.
I should execute you directly for your incompetence.
That would be a strategic error.
I'm your best hope at recovering what was stolen.
And you Major Kincaid, you have no knowledge of the theft? I heard a rumor that Volunteer Forteli was running a smuggling ring.
But he died before I can question him.
Stealing Ma'el sacred manuscript is an act of war.
If the relic is not returned within 4 hours I will destroy a major city on the North American continent.
"Amore" you really believe Zo'or will do this? Zo'or is out of his mind.
He is sitting on enough power to pulverise the planet.
"Alora" let's find some nice big bomb that can stop him.
We can't *** off a Taelon attack, we don't have the technology.
I've alerted the Atlantic National Alliance, but the best that they can do is wave a white flag.
This isn't a game Vera.
Our only hope to save the planet, is to find that relic now, what else haven't you told me? "Amore" I tell you everything, everything.
Listen to me.
The taelon's most valuable artecfact is missing and they're willing to wage into an interspecies war over it.
War "mamma mia" I was just trying to make a living.
Maybe you should look into another line of work.
Liam "amore" please, I beg you, I'm so sorry I took a few liberties with the import laws, OK.
Yes.
But only because you know, I have the new gallery now.
And it's just so expensive to remodel.
Well, your new gallery, it's gonna be a gravel pit, unless we find that relic, bring it back to the mothership in 3 hours.
OK, "va bene" and that's we will do.
OK? So it was those gasly Taelons who nearly had me killed in that vacuum.
No, it was your old friend Sandoval, and he deliberatly cupped the operation off the box, which is never a good sign.
Well, when this is over, I have to give him a big peace of my mind.
Right now, you gonna stay here.
And if you remember anything you make sure you global me.
"Capice?" "Si" "Va bene amore, va bene.
" "Va bene.
" - These're yours? - Let see.
Ah, Emma King's file from Ma'el's manuscript.
- This must be the backup.
- Shut it off.
Come on imagine what could happened if "WE" could decode the other chapters.
You planted thoses disks so I'd find them, didn't you? It's about the secret to synthesising core energy, come one, that's gotta twist your skirt, just a little.
Augur - you don't even have the relic.
- Not yet.
I told you "No", and I meant it.
Come on, you're the key.
Your mind works in ways no one elses does, not even mine.
Not saying a lie right? - I'm out of here - Wait, wait, wait.
Listen.
You could be the only human being in two millenia advanced enough to decypher Ma'el encryption code.
You think multi-dimentionnaly, that's a gift.
It's a curse.
When my head goes into multi, it's.
it's like me in another reality.
You think in theorems and conjectures.
Instead of words and numbers, no one else can do that.
It fries my brain.
- I never know if I'm gonna pull out of it.
- Yes but you always do.
Come on.
- Just asking for a little favor.
- No, you're out of favors.
*** remember the Alamo? I remember.
You sprang me from that research facility in Alamo.
I was gonna spend the rest of my life there, as a lab rat 'cause this gift of mine.
I gave you a new identity so you wouldn't have to.
Did you do it for me Augur? Or did you did it because you thought that one day you could use me? Whoever unlocks the secret of synthesising core energy controls the destiny of humanity.
It's not my problem.
What's in the bag Vera? - Nothing my lunch.
- It's the relic, isn't it? - Basta Renee.
- Humm, I don't think so.
Come on, now, let me just see if I got the story straight, ok? You know, when you were ambushed by that energy vortex you realized you would have another potential buyer, a better buyer.
So you grab the relic from Forteli, stashed it in a safe deposit box at the bank? Hoping you will find out who set the trap, so you could sell it to the highest bidder.
Am I getting close? Is there anything wrong with maximazing the profit? To start with, you abused your relationship with Liam, you knew he lead you to the other buyer.
So you told him you didn't know where the relic was, when you had it all along right here.
Renée men exploite women all the time.
What's wrong in reversing the cliché.
Oops, wrong.
What's wrong Vera, is that you are a liar.
- And a thief.
- yeah, see I thought we were friends, you know.
That's not nice Renée - that's not nice.
- Vera you're in over your head.
Take the relic to Liam, if you come clean now maybe he'll still be able to protect you.
"Bella" I don't think you're in any position to be giving orders.
You listen to me in less than three hours Zo'or starts killing innocent people.
Do you want that? Give me your global and your weapon.
Donne me.
"Andiamo, andiamo.
" "Bene.
" I believe this is now set, to overload.
It would be such a shame if someone got hurt.
Get away ! - Get away from it ! - "Ciao bella".
Go, move, move back! Miss Rizzori.
I was surprised to receive your call.
And I was surprised to receive your energy vacuum, wich by the way ruined my hair.
As we discussed perhaps I can compensate you for the inconvenients.
"Va bene".
I didn't expect Vera to have a gun.
I can't believe I let her get away.
You did what you had to.
You saved lives.
Any luck finding her? She's not on the communication grid.
Try tracking my global, if we're lucky she didn't think to turning off the locator.
There she is.
At the gallery.
On my way.
You need some help for those bags? Liam! I'm so glad you're here.
I was just coming to see you.
Cut the act Vera, Liam knows everything.
I take that.
"Grazie".
- Who did you sell it to, Sandoval? - "Amore" you told me he was going to kill me.
We've had heard by now if Sandoval had return the relic to the mothership.
- Why is he holding it for? - Do you think I know? That "picolo" man is crazy, he threaten to kill me, if I didn't give him the name of my client.
You told him Angur hired you? He offers me 300 000 dollars.
- I turned him down ***.
- So you didn't give him a name.
I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
"Amore", he threaten to break all of my bones.
Augur's not answering.
Lets get over there now.
What do we do with her? Don't worry about me, I won't move away until you come back.
You bet you won't.
Liam, "que bestia".
Liam ?! LIAM !! Augur! Come on, I know you're here, I can smell the cappuccino.
Here you are.
What? You give me the silent treatment? Street leave, now.
Look, I know you're made at me but I thought about what you said, and I think maybe you have a point.
- You don't have to say anything.
- Yes I do.
It's not cause I owe you, 'cause I don't.
But if synthesising core energy is really such a big deal then maybe really is my destiny.
Maybe I'm really the only one who can decode the manuscript.
I don't think we've met Miss Street? Street run!! Bozo This facility is at your disposal.
We're going to need an interdimentional generator.
- What for? - If we Do you want us to explain, nine dimensional chaos mathematics or decode the manuscript? - Get them what they want.
- An ID generator? Can't they portal out? Not without the displacement modulator.
Go! Look, the chances are we're not going to make Zo'or deadline.
Now, are you willing to die? Let's make sure we undestand each other.
I will control the secret of synthesising core energy.
OK, OK, we get it.
But what if we flame out? Then you die with me.
Oh, and Miss Sreet we've done an exhaustive global search and your DNA doesn't appear to be on record anywhere.
Apparently, you don't exist.
Another bureaucratic snafu.
What a surprise.
You have one hour and fifty seven minutes left.
Sandoval's biochemical signature.
Blue algae shake.
He's got Augur, he's got Street as well.
Sandoval finally have gone off the deep end less than two hours left and he still hasn't return the relic.
Well the Jaridians ignored him and sent a raiding party, the Taelons are dying, his entire power could be gone in an instant.
Unless he controls the secret of synthesising core energy.
It explain why he's kept this operation off the book, he's got to be pretty desperated by now.
Augur said there might be a way to access Ma'el's data without Zo'or.
But who is he gonna use as the human element? If he can replicate Zo'or's signature, he can replicate yours.
But the relic won't work unless it recognizes a human intellect equal to the Taelons.
Augur is a genius but doesn't make him equal to the Taelons.
There's only one person smarter than Augur.
Would Augur involve Street in something this dangerous? We won't know until we find them.
Obviously you have some idea on how to do that.
I'm gambling Street's smart coat is tuned to the same frequency as her global.
Damn it, this isn't gonna work.
- Need a break.
- I don't have time.
None of this would happened if it won't for you.
Look, I'm sorry I got you involved.
Just like to be back to that reseach lab in Alamo.
Hey hey hey hey Street, come on.
- You don't mean that - Don't I? - No.
My life is over.
All I am now is a freak, opponent some big intergalactic game.
But the worst part of all is that I thought you're me best friend.
I thought I could trust you.
Street look, sorry for what I did.
Okay I was wrong, I know that.
At least, give me a chance to make make things right.
How can you? Either I get this *** of crap metal to work and give Sandoval what he wants or, the Taelons do a major lambada on planet Earth.
Unless and what if I told you there's another option.
I'd say you're delusional.
But you trust me enough to help me right? What do you have in mind? I was thinking of the little interdimentional sludge.
I got a signal, but it's weak.
Durham North Carolina, she's in an abandoned military facility.
Augur.
Street and I have been held in hostage by "You-Know-Who".
I was able to sneak on a signal by piggybacking it on an ID frequency.
Would Sandoval detect it? ID *** sludge *** Listen, Sandoval's ready to call Zo'or's blood they're both out of their minds.
We've got a fix on you, we'll get there as fast as we can.
- Can you brief us on the security system? - Getting in there won't be the challenge It's getting out that it'll be a little sticky.
You'll need to bring a couple of toys.
Voice recognition protocol.
Ellis Joseph.
Identity confirmed.
Access granted.
Voice recognition protocol.
- Sandoval, Ronald.
- Identity confirmed.
Access granted.
Four levels down.
Report.
I don't have audio, because of the ID feedback but it looks like they're doing something right.
Notify me as soon as they finished to download.
One more firewall and presto, I'll be in the main security system.
Six forty eight, they should be inside by now.
It's your call.
Liam never let us down before.
Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
What the hell.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly Toxic levels of bionic radiation have been detected.
Commence evacuation procedures imediatly No one is to leave the building, is that clear? - Damn it! - Talk to me Tate.
Surveillance system's down.
Send a security detachment to the lab on the double.
Okay, let's go.
Come with me.
What took you so long? Save the reunion for later.
Want a displacement modulator? OK, this won't be pretty but I've 99% of a standard ID portal here.
You might loose your hair.
They'll be here any minute.
It's too long, move it.
Everybody inside the portal.
Come on Augur.
Hey, this should work.
I'm having trouble modulating the ID conduit.
You can do it Augur.
The charge of the displacement modulateur don't work.
Here, let me try.
Reversing polarity Yeah! A deal Sandoval you keep my friends out of this, and I won't let Zo'or know you're holding that on him.
So you managed to avoid an interspecies conflict by less than one half hour.
The relic was discovered in a laboratory of an abandoned military bunker in North Carolina.
When Major Kincaid inform me of its location, I immediatly dispached the SWAT team to recover it.
Who masterminded the theft? We don't know.
The bunker was destroyed in the attack, obliteraring any evidence.
What of the art dealer who made the original arrangements.
We were never able to identify her.
But I can assure you Zo'or the mothership smuggling ring is shut down permanently.
There will be no more thefts.
Recent experience has tought me that your reassurances mean absolutely nothing.
You are demoted to security level two until further notice.
Yes Zo'or.
Place your hand on the relic Major.
Concentrate.
Focus your mind on nothing but what is before you.
I have combed to your mind Major and I'm now convinced.
Of what? You are not withholding any effort.
You truly have an inferior intellect.
Unfortunately it will take quiet some time for your species to evolve to a level equal to the Taelons.
I only hope that we can evolve fast enough to save you from extinction.
So, I guess you expect me to thank you for saving me from the Taelons You're welcome.
"Ciao amore.
" "Ciao" Try to stay out of trouble.
What fun would that be? Hey, I guess we'll never know if you could have cracked Ma'el's code? - I guess not.
- Bu if you did.
Could you imagine how it would change everything, I mean, you could have save the world from taelon oppression.
Never thought of myself as a super hero before.
Well, you know, you can do anything you want Street that's why I love you so much.
Give me a hug! I guess we probably shouldn't be seen together for a while.
Probably not! Augur? What I said before is true.
You really are my best friend.
We see everything she does.
The nanobots from the stunt dart have been in her blood stream 27 hours and have begun to *** Is there any way to fine tune the reception.
Let's them goes by the picture will improve, and Miss Street will have no idea what's going on.
So do you want me to pick her up? Not yet.
Right now I'm wanna watch.
