Earth: Final Conflict s05e19 Episode Script
Subversion
Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict: We were trying to save the Taelons and the Jaridians, but obviously, something went wrong, now we got you, whatever you are.
We are Atavus.
We have unleashed the final conflict, Miss Palmer.
What final conflict? What the hell are you talking about? Alien treachery has reached the highest levels of our government, even the FBI is vulnerable.
This morning, acting director Ryan Patrichio was arrested, charged with treason, for collaborating with the alien enemy.
Hybrids are infiltrated everywhere.
We're fighting for our lives.
It's us or them.
It's really that simple.
You're under arrest for crimes against humanity.
- You'll never find us all.
- I wouldn't count on that.
Access denied.
Ryan Patrichio, in the name of the people you're ordered to stand trial for treason.
We're out.
In a bizarre twist today former assistant director to the FBI, Ryan Patrichio escaped from the maximum security penitentiary at Fallbrook.
Authorities believe that Patrichio was being transferred from his cell to a military confinement, when he, somehow, got away from his guards You're looking for someone? Yeah Army guy.
A sort of tall, dark, dangerous.
- You've seen him? - Nah.
I think he took the night off.
He told me, you can use an night off too.
Told me, to come down here, buy you a few drinks.
- He did, huh? - Yeah.
Well, in that case.
So, what we're drinking to? Patrichio's escape from federal prison? He's a Fed's problem now, not yours.
Besides Sandoval, he has done more to advance the alien agenda than anyone.
They should be warming up the hot seat for him not letting him escape.
You, my dear, have got to learn to relax.
Fighting a good fight isn't the only thing in life, and you just have to learn to turn it off once in a while.
Well, I'm not fighting by choice, you know.
I mean, no offence, but I wasn't raised to think of wearing a gun - as a valid career choice.
- Really? - You think I was? - Come on, I bet you learn how to salute before you can walk.
Let's see, all star quarterback, WestPoint, Officer's choir.
- Am I right? - You're wrong.
ELR.
I started off as an Army civilian Attorney in JAG, but after working with the men and women who risk their lives everyday for this country, the suit and tie just started to feel meaningless.
Normal life will never be the same.
- We're talking sharp, Palmer.
- Yeah.
Well, you can help it, you're a fighter.
It's not the only thing I'm good for.
We interrupt this program, to bring you some shocking footage believe to be of Ryan Patrichio.
Patrichio, the former assistant director to the FBI escaped earlier from the Fallbrook maximum security penitentiary.
in your confession to the Attorney General.
That document is inadmissible.
It was part of an immunity agreement.
Your appeal bargain is rejected by this court.
Your previous betrayal of humanity however cannot be denied, you are guilty by your own admission, and hereby sentenced to death.
You call this justice? Don't fool yourselves.
This is murder! - Because of you - Listen to me! all the government has scrambled to rub out mention to alien DNA.
Without a miracle this Earth will soon be overrun by hybrids bent on our destruction.
We cannot have a miracle.
Human DNA is sacred.
Those who tamper with his purity must die! I'm ready.
Do it! This bastard he has deserved it! In the twenty-first century, an alien species known as the Taelons came to Earth with a promise of peace.
They lied Their true agenda was to dominate us.
After years of struggle the Taelons have perished leaving more aggressive beings in their wake, the Atavus.
My name is Renée Palmer.
My mission is to stop this new species from dominating our planet.
This is Earth Final Conflict.
Dammit, lives are at stake! If you're holding back just the protect your ratings! The networks aren't protecting anybody, we can't trace the feed.
Season 5 Episode 19 Hubble, what the hell is going on? A group called the "Preservationists" are protesting the government's decision to develop a hybrid cure.
They'd rather exterminate the hybrids completely.
- And you can't find them? - No.
They got sympathisers in the military, law enforcement the FBI.
What are you saying that Patrichio was executed by some kind of secret black ops groups? No, no, they're vigilantes.
We've been trying to acquire data on them for month.
We're getting nowhere.
How did Satnews get footage of Patrichio execution? Whoever sent that footage passed through so many satellites, it's impossible to trace.
Well, it's the problem with extremists.
They think to save humanity they've always got to sacrifice innocent people.
Well, last night broadcast was a ratings coup for them, approved what they saw.
Of course they would.
They panicked about the hybrid situation.
I can't stop the media from covering, and I can't even get their help.
The first amendment shield rights protects the journalists' sources.
These guys are murderers.
How are we gonna stop them from picking their next victim? According to our intelligence they already have.
You.
- Renée wait.
- What do you do, huh? The very people you risked your life just say turnaround and put you into cross hairs.
I'll take a vacation and I'd lay low.
You really were a lawyer, won't you? I mean, you can still argue any side, even if you know it's crap.
That's you they're after not me, and I would do anything to keep you safe.
Thanks.
But I won't be safe until these guys are stopped.
Alright, look, I'll call in my team, but you heard Hubble.
The Preservationists have sympathisers everywhere.
So be careful.
It was my mandolin.
Bill of rights supplies to the human rights, not alien, not part human.
If DNA is responsible for the colour of our hair, our eyes, our skin, isn't it dangerous to discriminate? I believe this is different.
In the past all it took for racism to win was for good man to do nothing.
Today we face with the similar dilemma.
Alien DNA is dominant, if we do nothing to stop it it'll wipe human DNA from our planet, pure and simple.
Judge Claridge, thousands of people have sent letters to the Senate, urging your appointment to the Supreme Court.
I believe the American people are justifiably concerned about the course of action our government has chosen to pursue regarding the alien threat.
You mean the search for an antidote.
Precisely.
I support the humanitarian effort, But how long did we struggled to find a cure for cancer? The public maybe turning against the search for the cure.
If the government opposes the will of the people, do you support civil disobedience? Such as we've seen with the Preservationists? - We're up against the - I run a trace for Taelon core energy.
Nothing.
Either they've got Renée below ground or in a building with walls a foot thick.
I also hacked into the SatNews satellite try tracing the feed Hubble was right.
Whoever sent it knew how to cover their tracks.
Try again, you might have missed something.
Breaking the law is wrong.
But I believe current laws granting hybrids human's rights violate the constitution.
They will soon be challenged in the Supreme Court.
Where I will vote against them if appointed.
As you can see from this interview taped earlier today with Supreme Court nominee Jackson Claridge our nation's law makers are strongly divided over the issue of hybrids rights.
It's look like a dead end has a crash inside in the Philippines, but We getting another pirate satellite feed from the Preservationist.
We take you live now, to the still undisclosed location where the Preservationist have been holding Court.
Renée Palmer, you are charged with unleashing a deadly scourge upon humanity.
Thousands of us died as result of your actions.
Ten of thousands more have been hybridized.
This crimes carry the harshest of penalties.
Death.
You'll be try by this Court and if you are innocent you shall be free.
But if you are found guilty you will be executed.
Do you understand the charges against you? Continuing to monitor the live web broadcast, this is Patrice Nichols, broadcasting live on the web from an unknown location the trial of Renée Palmer has captured the attention of the world.
Claiming the courts are too corrupt and too infested with hybrids to deal with the real threat facing us, the group calling itself the Preservationists have taken justice into their own hands.
The FBI and National Security are stymied by the group's ability, to electronically mask their location by controlling webcast servers.
How does the defendant plead? I have a right to face my accuser.
Do you hide from me? From the very public you pretend to serve? I'll consider this as a real trial, when I'll be grounds for insanity.
As you can see, we are the will of the people.
That's all you need to know.
You'll have every opportunity to find out that your trial was provided by law if you show respect.
Without a jury? You are charged with starting a war, between us and an alien race.
Under the articles of war you'll be try by a military tribunal.
If you do not submit to its authority you shall be removed from this Court room, and tried in absentia.
This isn't legal.
You're only authority is a gun in your hand.
- Silence! - Go ahead! - Silence! - Convict me.
Without testimony! Better yet, kill me without a trial! Let the world see that this court is a mockery.
A weak excuse for revenge.
You will respect the authority of this Bench.
If not you will know the full wrath of this Court.
How does the defendant plead? Due process stipulates that I'd be represented by an Attorney.
- Fine, an Attorney will be appointed.
- No.
I choose my own lawyer.
That is, if you want the world to trust that my trial will be fair.
Miss Palmer, this court is determined to see that you receive a fair trial.
But who would agree to appear on behalf of a defendant charged with retrain the entire human race? I choose, Captain Brandon Michaels of the US Army to be my Attorney.
I've never tried a murder case.
It's not your legal skill she needs.
You're a Ranger going into enemy territory to retrieve a hostage.
They'll search me for sure.
I can't wear a tracker.
They're sending a message to our web site arranging the pick-up point.
To make the rendezvous, I'd have to leave right now.
They're not giving me any time.
You've got time for this.
Nanobots.
If they keep you within North American grid, I should be able to pick you up on a satellite.
I'm clean, fellows.
You'd better be.
Let's go.
This is Patrice Nichols reporting live from Washington where the Senate receives several thousands more letters today, urging the approval of Judge Jackson Claridge's Supreme Court nomination.
Elsewhere in our Nation's Capital thousands gather to protest the legal protection of hybrids.
Meanwhile, the vigilante trial of Renée Palmer continues.
Perhaps with the support of the Nation.
You're alright? - Can you stand? - Yeah.
- It was a bad fall.
- It didn't do any thing.
C'mon over here.
Sit.
- You're sure you're okay? - Yeah.
I guess now wouldn't be a good time to discuss my fees, now would it? Just tell me an elite Ranger team is waiting outside, and I'm all yours.
They made sure I wasn't followed.
Street had a trick up our sleeves going, well, actually my sleeve Nanobots.
Don't worry, Street will find us.
She's the best.
I'm not worried, I've got my lawyer.
He's the best.
The facts of this case are not in dispute.
Witnesses and information gathered from her own web site, will show the defendant has never denied opening the Atavus stasis chamber.
But the most persuasive testimony will not be heard.
That of the victims.
These voices have been silenced, their lives lost, all because of one woman.
For their deaths, and for threatening the entire human race with extinction, Renée Palmer must pay, with her life.
This trial, is one of life and death.
Not only is the future of the defendant at stake.
So too is our future.
As gripped by fear as we are of alien domination, we may find it just, comforting even, to take the lives of those we suspect are to blame.
So I ask.
Is killing the answer? In the past many nations thought to cure what ills their countries through ethnic cleansing.
It is barbarism, led not to the preservation of their societies, but simply to their collapse.
Eventually responsibility fell upon the nations of the world including our own to stop this madness.
If we give into fear, and descend into madness, who will restore order for us? This case is not about the punishment of guilt, it is at best a witch-hunt.
A witch-hunt design to appeal to our worst instincts.
These inflammatory charges brought against Renée Palmer are meant to provoke fear, in the hopes that will abandon reason, for the primitive frenzy of the mob.
The Atavus have been here for eons, this day was inevitable.
Either we stand together, and face the greatest conflict in human history, or we simply turn against each other, and haul our civilization back to the Dark Ages? So, do we look for scapegoats, or solutions? Do we defend the law, or yield to the mob? Our survival as a nation, as a species, as a planet, depends upon the answers to these very questions, and, indeed, depend upon the verdict of this trial.
Are the people ready to call their first witness? We are, your Honor.
The people call Hubble Urick to the stand.
This is kidnapping! And a Federal offence! Silence! Director Urick, your testimony is essential to this proceedings.
If you discharge your duty faithfully, you will be free without prejudice, If you do not, you will be charged with obstruction, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Are you prepared to offer your truthful testimony to this Court? I Am.
Though, I doubt this Court has much interest in the truth.
I warn you, another attempt to question the dignity of this Court and you will be held on contempt.
Mister Prosecutor you may question your witness.
Director Urick, would you describe your relationship with the defendant? She was a field operative, one of my best.
During the Taelon era - she proved invaluable.
- She was a Taelon protector? No.
She was one of the leaders of the Taelon Resistance.
- Or so she claims.
- Objection.
Withdrawn.
The defendant worked for you.
As her superior, was she required to keep you informed of her movements? She reported to me, yes.
And what was the purpose of her mission to Kamchatka peninsula? She She wasn't assigned to Kamchatka.
But she did inform you she was going, didn't she? Taelon business falls within the bounds of her responsibilities to you, correct? - Technically, yes.
- So, the defendant return to the site of a previous operation, without permission? Well, the volcano had exploded, the stasis chamber was now miles away from the original site.
But the stasis chamber have been the subject of the previous Taelon objective, and she returned to it without authorization, isn't that true? - Yes, but - And when she arrived, did she inform you, of what she discovered there? Yes or no Director.
Did she tell you what she have found? - No.
But later she was - She engaged deadly aliens.
Her crew was killed, her vessel was lost, and she didn't tell you? Objection your Honor, Director Urick was not present to corroborate the actual events.
Recently, the FBI ordered a full investigation.
Is this a copy of your report? Where did you get this? These files are classified! Your Honor, I'll add this as people's exhibit one, it should substantiate the witness has knowledge of events.
I allow it.
Objection overruled.
The witness will answer.
Captain Michaels? Looking for this? - Where is he? - Funny, you should ask.
We found your nanobots.
Director, when an operative acts without authorization, what measures do you take? Depending upon the seriousness of the situation, the operative can be reprimanded, or brought upon charges.
And would you agree that an incident involving loss of life, exposing the world to great peril is serious? Yes.
Could you show the court, where in your report, you recommended sanctions against Renée Palmer for having expose mankind to such virulent danger? - I didn't recommend sanctions.
- Didn't recommend sanctions! She violated the chain of command, acted without authorization, and jeopardized the future of the Human race.
- I didn't I just thought - You thought what? That she'd followed procedure that she'd informed you about she was doing? - If she had told you - She had the pains! I thought she was delusional.
I eliminated all reference to aliens from her report, - to save her reputation.
- To save her reputation, Wouldn't you documented what she told you, - If she had told you? - She was the best operative I ever had.
So you lied, to protect her reputation.
- Is that your testimony? - Objection! - I'm not lying! - Argumentative, - I'm not lying! - the prosecution is badgering the witness! This trial is all a lie! - This entire court is a lie! - Move to strike.
Renée Palmer fought to save us all! You think if you can conduct a trial in accord with public opinion that you're above the law? Remove the witness from the court.
This court is a shame, this is a propaganda campaign! - run by vigilantes - Silence! Silence! Is the prosecution ready for the next witness? The people call, Juliette Street, to the stand.
The trial is in a lighthouse.
An old octagonal one.
It's still functional.
There's over 200 lighthouses on both coast, and that's only figure in the U.
S.
These Zealots think they are in the law.
They're trying citizens on American soil, I'm sure of it.
That's him! Herman Forrester.
Deputy D.
A in Maryland, special prosecutor to the Attorney general's office.
- Last known address? - North Hills penitentiary, Sir.
Minimum security.
Doing five day for jury tampering, obstruction of justice.
Yeah, I remember that case.
He was prosecutor in the first Taelon collaborator to be charge with treason.
After that fiasco charges against all the others were dropped.
Forced to prove his allegiance to the preservationist cause.
Who was judge in that trial? Jackson Claridge.
Claridge? We were more like partners.
Partners? Did you work with Renée Palmer at Doors international? No, I meant, partners in the fight against the Atavus.
So, you didn't work at Doors? No.
But, I know all about her old job.
Then you know, by continuing to search for the stasis chamber she was violating her employer orders.
- Objection your honor! - I rephrase.
Did the defendant tell you whether she had her employer's permission to go to Kamchatka? She quit.
Oh, actually she was fired for not abandoning her quest, correct? There were an all bunch of us on that submarine, it wasn't just Renée.
Well, the crew that she had hired.
- Actually, I hired them.
- You did? Whose mission was this? Both of ours.
This crew were they battle-trained? Yes, they were ex Taelon volunteers.
Alien collaborators.
Why am I not surprised? Objection, your honor.
Hearsay.
Withdrawn.
After this disastrous mission, the defendant went into hiding, did she not? She wasn't in hiding, she was trying to stop the Atavus.
Stop them how? Did she go to the police - bring evidence to the military? - She went to Hubble Urick.
Who, curiously, has no documentation of any kind, to support that assertion.
Do you recognize this? It's our website, I designed it.
The authorities wouldn't listen, so we decided to put the word out on the internet.
And what word was that? That the defendant was fighting for the world? She was, we both were.
When in fact she was fighting to find a new mission in life.
The Taelons were gone, the FBI no longer needed her services, she was fired from Doors, the world no longer needed her.
- So she created a need.
- No, you're wrong.
Wrong? The Atavus were released, someone is responsible.
- Do we have the wrong someone? - We were looking for Liam Kincaid.
Renée had no reason to believe that they were Atavus in that stasis chamber.
No reason, to think there were aliens - in an alien stasis chamber! - I was in charge of tech, and I never thought to scan for unique bio-signatures.
Objection.
The witness isn't on trial here.
You can't let her incriminate herself.
Do something! Sit down! Captain Michaels control your client.
I am your attorney.
If testimony minimizes your culpability No, I won't allow it.
I'm not just saying this as your layer.
If I didn't do everything I possibly could to save you, I couldn't live with myself.
Your honor.
- I wish a substitution of Attorney.
- Don't do this.
I represent myself, pro se.
If you retain Captain Michaels as court council, granted.
We went to Kamchatka, to find Liam.
You take an oath early, remember? I even forced you to rush preparations.
In fact You refused to go at first.
Renée, what are you doing? You're playing along with this kangaroo court? Permission to treat the witness as hostile, your honor? Granted.
The witness will answer.
Yes.
No.
I didn't understand.
Later, when the Atavus mapping crystal was activated, I pulled you out of a club, and forced you to come with me.
You didn't force me.
And you left the Antarctic facility, specifically to stop me from carrying out my agenda, isn't that true? That was a mistake, I didn't mean In fact you were never a willing participant in my plans.
You only went along with them because you were misfit in a corporate world, and I gave you something to belong to.
Isn't that true? You're under oath.
Fine.
I didn't give a damn about your private little war.
Is that what you want to hear? I didn't want any part of it.
It's just, I'd have a friend.
No more questions.
The witness is released.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
What do I do? A virus, Street.
Think how d'you cure a virus.
Hubble Urick.
Senate will do anything to stop my confirmation, won't they? Actually, this is nothing to do with your nomination.
I need to find someone.
Herman Forrester.
You were the presiding judge in his last trial.
I was wondering when someone digs that up to use against me.
Well, I'm not using anything.
I need to find him.
Before, him and his lynch mob kill Renée Palmer.
I wish, I can help you.
The preservationists have gain such popularity.
I I wonder if anyone will be able to stop them.
I want the phone records from the Prosecutor's office.
They might lead us to the force who has connection with the Preservationists.
You'll need a warrant for that.
I'm afraid, you'll have to find yourself another judge.
I'm late for court.
If you'd know something Do you really think, you can challenge a judge? I thought, you would have learned better, this morning.
They've used half truths, and distortions to create a lie.
If I don't take the stand it's gonna look like I'm hiding something.
Renée, this isn't real! Look what they did to Hubble and Street.
Is that you really why you don't me to take the stand? What? Do you think I have blood on my hands? - No.
- But I do.
I did open that Atavus chamber.
Renée.
They were always here, it was just a matter of time.
If it wasn't for you, we will have lost this war, a long time ago.
You've never stop fighting.
I'm just I'm just so tired.
We're checking lighthouses that they are out of service.
What have you got for me? Do you remember what Renée said at the end of my testimony? She asked me: "How do you cure a virus?" What the hell is that suppose to mean? Well, in homeopathic medicine you cure like with like.
Like using a virus to create a vaccine.
I uploaded a virus to the SatNews satellite, which infected their signal.
Once it works its way back to the Preservationists' server, I'll be able to take over their computer.
There's only one octagonal lighthouse big enough to be the one that you were in.
Cape Henry.
Cape Henry.
There's no portal station within miles.
Call the Naval base.
- Have helicopters standing by.
- I'm on it.
Street.
Pull them off, as long as you can.
After your entire crew was killed, did this shade any light on the Atavan agenda? They've been here for 3 million years.
They want to control the planet.
safe from them all this time.
- They were in stasis.
- In stasis.
- And who knew this? - No one, actually.
Apparently the Mothership's archive has some information.
You've been to the Mothership.
Did you have access to the archives? No.
Yet, somehow, you are the only person in 3 million years to find them.
Can you explain that? - I was looking for Liam Kincaid.
- Yes, he knew the link between the Taelons, Jaridians and the Atavus.
In fact, you knew that he went into that stasis hive, to find the Atavus.
He was trying to preserve the Taelon communality.
He disappeared.
Because he found what he was looking for, and it killed him.
Everyone knew he was dead, but you kept looking for Liam or something else? For Liam.
Against, the objections of your employer.
Violating the chain of FBI command, you open that stasis hive, killing your crew.
But you didn't die, because you knew what was in there.
And you told no one, an when you returned you kept this castastrophe to yourself.
No.
I've never stop fighting.
But the press branded me as a nut, and the tabloids had a full day ridiculing my warnings.
And where are the Atavus now? I believe, they are contained on the Mothership.
- Which you have continued to visit.
- Visit? I've brought in military attack teams, - with the intention of destroying them.
- Destroying them? You saved that Atavus youth.
The son of their leader.
He was different.
I hoped, he would help me stop the carnage.
You trusted an Atavus? Is this - how he stop the carnage.
- He wasn't responsible for that! Look, he told me that on their home planet, the Atavus have no need to feed on sentient life force.
Oh, now, you're sympathetic.
I thought you were trying to save mankind from these monsters.
I'm not out for revenge at any cost.
The best thing would be, if the Atavus simply return to their own planet.
Best for us, or best for them? Who are you trying to save, really? Objection.
Argumentative.
Overruled.
Your honor looks like we've been invaded by a virus.
Stop the cameras.
- Has our security been compromised? - I'm not sure.
We have to isolate the virus to terminate the protocol, Sir.
We'll have to fore call your cross, Captain.
You do the closing, I've got an idea.
Brendon, I've told Street to upload a virus to take over their computer.
- She has control of the cameras.
- We're broadcasting again? Alright, this is our chance.
- What are you gonna do? - Just follow my lead.
Your honor, if I'm denied my right to cross examine the witness, you must declare a mistrial.
I remind you Captain, this is still my court.
If I'm not allowed to question the defendant, then this court can't hold at no pretence of justice to the people.
I've heard enough, and so the people.
Make up your mind, Captain.
- Do you wish to close, or not? - I'll close, your honor.
You were warned to respect the authority of this court.
You defied my order.
Do you really think you can expose us, and leave this premises alive? You've just sealed your fate.
Both of you.
Lieutenant Morran! Prepare the prisoners for execution.
Judge Claridge I demand, you recuse yourself from this case.
You have passed judgment on my client, well before this trial ever began.
I'm afraid that's moved now, counselor.
By trying to thwart justice, all you did was sacrifice your client and yourself.
So, what, you're gonna execute us for content a court? And, you seriously believe, you're acting within the law? Justice became a joke in this country long ago.
Washington is overrun by hybrids, now they have inalienable rights.
What about our rights? The laws are shame.
Who decides to ignore the law? You? You think that's the will of the people? I'm the law.
I know what's best for this country.
The people think what I tell them to think.
Really? I think people disagree.
A remote user's taking command of the system.
I can't shut off the camera, Sir.
Don't listen to her, it's a trick.
Don't you see? She destroys everything.
The will of the people must be heard.
Washington! She'd betrayed us all.
I've devoted my life to the law.
Do you presume you know more than I? Will you take the word of a traitor, an alien collaborator over mine? Listen to me.
All that we hold sacred is faced with annihilation.
Our minds will be polluted in the cesspool of Atavan DNA.
If you are against me! You are against humanity! It's over Claridge.
The people have spoken.
This is still my court room! Renée Palmer.
I find you guilty of conspiracy and accessory to murder.
By the power invested in me, you are hereby sentenced to death.
I'd thought I'd seen the worst evil of the world I've ever seen.
I was wrong.
You are that evil, and all who stand with you.
Kill her! This court cannot pass sentence without a unanimous finding of guilt.
I'm the head justice, and the supreme commander of this militia! Kill her! I didn't sign on for this.
Jackson Claridge.
You're under arrest for kidnapping and murder, and for defrauding the American people.
Move on.
Let's go.
You too.
This way.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
In a shocking twist, Judge Jackson Claridge was exposed as the leader of the Preservationists.
As a great statesman William Pitt one said: "Where law ends, tyranny begins.
" Today, a woman named Renée Palmer, was all that stood, between us and tyranny.
_^^^^_ (o .
o) ( o ) -
We are Atavus.
We have unleashed the final conflict, Miss Palmer.
What final conflict? What the hell are you talking about? Alien treachery has reached the highest levels of our government, even the FBI is vulnerable.
This morning, acting director Ryan Patrichio was arrested, charged with treason, for collaborating with the alien enemy.
Hybrids are infiltrated everywhere.
We're fighting for our lives.
It's us or them.
It's really that simple.
You're under arrest for crimes against humanity.
- You'll never find us all.
- I wouldn't count on that.
Access denied.
Ryan Patrichio, in the name of the people you're ordered to stand trial for treason.
We're out.
In a bizarre twist today former assistant director to the FBI, Ryan Patrichio escaped from the maximum security penitentiary at Fallbrook.
Authorities believe that Patrichio was being transferred from his cell to a military confinement, when he, somehow, got away from his guards You're looking for someone? Yeah Army guy.
A sort of tall, dark, dangerous.
- You've seen him? - Nah.
I think he took the night off.
He told me, you can use an night off too.
Told me, to come down here, buy you a few drinks.
- He did, huh? - Yeah.
Well, in that case.
So, what we're drinking to? Patrichio's escape from federal prison? He's a Fed's problem now, not yours.
Besides Sandoval, he has done more to advance the alien agenda than anyone.
They should be warming up the hot seat for him not letting him escape.
You, my dear, have got to learn to relax.
Fighting a good fight isn't the only thing in life, and you just have to learn to turn it off once in a while.
Well, I'm not fighting by choice, you know.
I mean, no offence, but I wasn't raised to think of wearing a gun - as a valid career choice.
- Really? - You think I was? - Come on, I bet you learn how to salute before you can walk.
Let's see, all star quarterback, WestPoint, Officer's choir.
- Am I right? - You're wrong.
ELR.
I started off as an Army civilian Attorney in JAG, but after working with the men and women who risk their lives everyday for this country, the suit and tie just started to feel meaningless.
Normal life will never be the same.
- We're talking sharp, Palmer.
- Yeah.
Well, you can help it, you're a fighter.
It's not the only thing I'm good for.
We interrupt this program, to bring you some shocking footage believe to be of Ryan Patrichio.
Patrichio, the former assistant director to the FBI escaped earlier from the Fallbrook maximum security penitentiary.
in your confession to the Attorney General.
That document is inadmissible.
It was part of an immunity agreement.
Your appeal bargain is rejected by this court.
Your previous betrayal of humanity however cannot be denied, you are guilty by your own admission, and hereby sentenced to death.
You call this justice? Don't fool yourselves.
This is murder! - Because of you - Listen to me! all the government has scrambled to rub out mention to alien DNA.
Without a miracle this Earth will soon be overrun by hybrids bent on our destruction.
We cannot have a miracle.
Human DNA is sacred.
Those who tamper with his purity must die! I'm ready.
Do it! This bastard he has deserved it! In the twenty-first century, an alien species known as the Taelons came to Earth with a promise of peace.
They lied Their true agenda was to dominate us.
After years of struggle the Taelons have perished leaving more aggressive beings in their wake, the Atavus.
My name is Renée Palmer.
My mission is to stop this new species from dominating our planet.
This is Earth Final Conflict.
Dammit, lives are at stake! If you're holding back just the protect your ratings! The networks aren't protecting anybody, we can't trace the feed.
Season 5 Episode 19 Hubble, what the hell is going on? A group called the "Preservationists" are protesting the government's decision to develop a hybrid cure.
They'd rather exterminate the hybrids completely.
- And you can't find them? - No.
They got sympathisers in the military, law enforcement the FBI.
What are you saying that Patrichio was executed by some kind of secret black ops groups? No, no, they're vigilantes.
We've been trying to acquire data on them for month.
We're getting nowhere.
How did Satnews get footage of Patrichio execution? Whoever sent that footage passed through so many satellites, it's impossible to trace.
Well, it's the problem with extremists.
They think to save humanity they've always got to sacrifice innocent people.
Well, last night broadcast was a ratings coup for them, approved what they saw.
Of course they would.
They panicked about the hybrid situation.
I can't stop the media from covering, and I can't even get their help.
The first amendment shield rights protects the journalists' sources.
These guys are murderers.
How are we gonna stop them from picking their next victim? According to our intelligence they already have.
You.
- Renée wait.
- What do you do, huh? The very people you risked your life just say turnaround and put you into cross hairs.
I'll take a vacation and I'd lay low.
You really were a lawyer, won't you? I mean, you can still argue any side, even if you know it's crap.
That's you they're after not me, and I would do anything to keep you safe.
Thanks.
But I won't be safe until these guys are stopped.
Alright, look, I'll call in my team, but you heard Hubble.
The Preservationists have sympathisers everywhere.
So be careful.
It was my mandolin.
Bill of rights supplies to the human rights, not alien, not part human.
If DNA is responsible for the colour of our hair, our eyes, our skin, isn't it dangerous to discriminate? I believe this is different.
In the past all it took for racism to win was for good man to do nothing.
Today we face with the similar dilemma.
Alien DNA is dominant, if we do nothing to stop it it'll wipe human DNA from our planet, pure and simple.
Judge Claridge, thousands of people have sent letters to the Senate, urging your appointment to the Supreme Court.
I believe the American people are justifiably concerned about the course of action our government has chosen to pursue regarding the alien threat.
You mean the search for an antidote.
Precisely.
I support the humanitarian effort, But how long did we struggled to find a cure for cancer? The public maybe turning against the search for the cure.
If the government opposes the will of the people, do you support civil disobedience? Such as we've seen with the Preservationists? - We're up against the - I run a trace for Taelon core energy.
Nothing.
Either they've got Renée below ground or in a building with walls a foot thick.
I also hacked into the SatNews satellite try tracing the feed Hubble was right.
Whoever sent it knew how to cover their tracks.
Try again, you might have missed something.
Breaking the law is wrong.
But I believe current laws granting hybrids human's rights violate the constitution.
They will soon be challenged in the Supreme Court.
Where I will vote against them if appointed.
As you can see from this interview taped earlier today with Supreme Court nominee Jackson Claridge our nation's law makers are strongly divided over the issue of hybrids rights.
It's look like a dead end has a crash inside in the Philippines, but We getting another pirate satellite feed from the Preservationist.
We take you live now, to the still undisclosed location where the Preservationist have been holding Court.
Renée Palmer, you are charged with unleashing a deadly scourge upon humanity.
Thousands of us died as result of your actions.
Ten of thousands more have been hybridized.
This crimes carry the harshest of penalties.
Death.
You'll be try by this Court and if you are innocent you shall be free.
But if you are found guilty you will be executed.
Do you understand the charges against you? Continuing to monitor the live web broadcast, this is Patrice Nichols, broadcasting live on the web from an unknown location the trial of Renée Palmer has captured the attention of the world.
Claiming the courts are too corrupt and too infested with hybrids to deal with the real threat facing us, the group calling itself the Preservationists have taken justice into their own hands.
The FBI and National Security are stymied by the group's ability, to electronically mask their location by controlling webcast servers.
How does the defendant plead? I have a right to face my accuser.
Do you hide from me? From the very public you pretend to serve? I'll consider this as a real trial, when I'll be grounds for insanity.
As you can see, we are the will of the people.
That's all you need to know.
You'll have every opportunity to find out that your trial was provided by law if you show respect.
Without a jury? You are charged with starting a war, between us and an alien race.
Under the articles of war you'll be try by a military tribunal.
If you do not submit to its authority you shall be removed from this Court room, and tried in absentia.
This isn't legal.
You're only authority is a gun in your hand.
- Silence! - Go ahead! - Silence! - Convict me.
Without testimony! Better yet, kill me without a trial! Let the world see that this court is a mockery.
A weak excuse for revenge.
You will respect the authority of this Bench.
If not you will know the full wrath of this Court.
How does the defendant plead? Due process stipulates that I'd be represented by an Attorney.
- Fine, an Attorney will be appointed.
- No.
I choose my own lawyer.
That is, if you want the world to trust that my trial will be fair.
Miss Palmer, this court is determined to see that you receive a fair trial.
But who would agree to appear on behalf of a defendant charged with retrain the entire human race? I choose, Captain Brandon Michaels of the US Army to be my Attorney.
I've never tried a murder case.
It's not your legal skill she needs.
You're a Ranger going into enemy territory to retrieve a hostage.
They'll search me for sure.
I can't wear a tracker.
They're sending a message to our web site arranging the pick-up point.
To make the rendezvous, I'd have to leave right now.
They're not giving me any time.
You've got time for this.
Nanobots.
If they keep you within North American grid, I should be able to pick you up on a satellite.
I'm clean, fellows.
You'd better be.
Let's go.
This is Patrice Nichols reporting live from Washington where the Senate receives several thousands more letters today, urging the approval of Judge Jackson Claridge's Supreme Court nomination.
Elsewhere in our Nation's Capital thousands gather to protest the legal protection of hybrids.
Meanwhile, the vigilante trial of Renée Palmer continues.
Perhaps with the support of the Nation.
You're alright? - Can you stand? - Yeah.
- It was a bad fall.
- It didn't do any thing.
C'mon over here.
Sit.
- You're sure you're okay? - Yeah.
I guess now wouldn't be a good time to discuss my fees, now would it? Just tell me an elite Ranger team is waiting outside, and I'm all yours.
They made sure I wasn't followed.
Street had a trick up our sleeves going, well, actually my sleeve Nanobots.
Don't worry, Street will find us.
She's the best.
I'm not worried, I've got my lawyer.
He's the best.
The facts of this case are not in dispute.
Witnesses and information gathered from her own web site, will show the defendant has never denied opening the Atavus stasis chamber.
But the most persuasive testimony will not be heard.
That of the victims.
These voices have been silenced, their lives lost, all because of one woman.
For their deaths, and for threatening the entire human race with extinction, Renée Palmer must pay, with her life.
This trial, is one of life and death.
Not only is the future of the defendant at stake.
So too is our future.
As gripped by fear as we are of alien domination, we may find it just, comforting even, to take the lives of those we suspect are to blame.
So I ask.
Is killing the answer? In the past many nations thought to cure what ills their countries through ethnic cleansing.
It is barbarism, led not to the preservation of their societies, but simply to their collapse.
Eventually responsibility fell upon the nations of the world including our own to stop this madness.
If we give into fear, and descend into madness, who will restore order for us? This case is not about the punishment of guilt, it is at best a witch-hunt.
A witch-hunt design to appeal to our worst instincts.
These inflammatory charges brought against Renée Palmer are meant to provoke fear, in the hopes that will abandon reason, for the primitive frenzy of the mob.
The Atavus have been here for eons, this day was inevitable.
Either we stand together, and face the greatest conflict in human history, or we simply turn against each other, and haul our civilization back to the Dark Ages? So, do we look for scapegoats, or solutions? Do we defend the law, or yield to the mob? Our survival as a nation, as a species, as a planet, depends upon the answers to these very questions, and, indeed, depend upon the verdict of this trial.
Are the people ready to call their first witness? We are, your Honor.
The people call Hubble Urick to the stand.
This is kidnapping! And a Federal offence! Silence! Director Urick, your testimony is essential to this proceedings.
If you discharge your duty faithfully, you will be free without prejudice, If you do not, you will be charged with obstruction, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Are you prepared to offer your truthful testimony to this Court? I Am.
Though, I doubt this Court has much interest in the truth.
I warn you, another attempt to question the dignity of this Court and you will be held on contempt.
Mister Prosecutor you may question your witness.
Director Urick, would you describe your relationship with the defendant? She was a field operative, one of my best.
During the Taelon era - she proved invaluable.
- She was a Taelon protector? No.
She was one of the leaders of the Taelon Resistance.
- Or so she claims.
- Objection.
Withdrawn.
The defendant worked for you.
As her superior, was she required to keep you informed of her movements? She reported to me, yes.
And what was the purpose of her mission to Kamchatka peninsula? She She wasn't assigned to Kamchatka.
But she did inform you she was going, didn't she? Taelon business falls within the bounds of her responsibilities to you, correct? - Technically, yes.
- So, the defendant return to the site of a previous operation, without permission? Well, the volcano had exploded, the stasis chamber was now miles away from the original site.
But the stasis chamber have been the subject of the previous Taelon objective, and she returned to it without authorization, isn't that true? - Yes, but - And when she arrived, did she inform you, of what she discovered there? Yes or no Director.
Did she tell you what she have found? - No.
But later she was - She engaged deadly aliens.
Her crew was killed, her vessel was lost, and she didn't tell you? Objection your Honor, Director Urick was not present to corroborate the actual events.
Recently, the FBI ordered a full investigation.
Is this a copy of your report? Where did you get this? These files are classified! Your Honor, I'll add this as people's exhibit one, it should substantiate the witness has knowledge of events.
I allow it.
Objection overruled.
The witness will answer.
Captain Michaels? Looking for this? - Where is he? - Funny, you should ask.
We found your nanobots.
Director, when an operative acts without authorization, what measures do you take? Depending upon the seriousness of the situation, the operative can be reprimanded, or brought upon charges.
And would you agree that an incident involving loss of life, exposing the world to great peril is serious? Yes.
Could you show the court, where in your report, you recommended sanctions against Renée Palmer for having expose mankind to such virulent danger? - I didn't recommend sanctions.
- Didn't recommend sanctions! She violated the chain of command, acted without authorization, and jeopardized the future of the Human race.
- I didn't I just thought - You thought what? That she'd followed procedure that she'd informed you about she was doing? - If she had told you - She had the pains! I thought she was delusional.
I eliminated all reference to aliens from her report, - to save her reputation.
- To save her reputation, Wouldn't you documented what she told you, - If she had told you? - She was the best operative I ever had.
So you lied, to protect her reputation.
- Is that your testimony? - Objection! - I'm not lying! - Argumentative, - I'm not lying! - the prosecution is badgering the witness! This trial is all a lie! - This entire court is a lie! - Move to strike.
Renée Palmer fought to save us all! You think if you can conduct a trial in accord with public opinion that you're above the law? Remove the witness from the court.
This court is a shame, this is a propaganda campaign! - run by vigilantes - Silence! Silence! Is the prosecution ready for the next witness? The people call, Juliette Street, to the stand.
The trial is in a lighthouse.
An old octagonal one.
It's still functional.
There's over 200 lighthouses on both coast, and that's only figure in the U.
S.
These Zealots think they are in the law.
They're trying citizens on American soil, I'm sure of it.
That's him! Herman Forrester.
Deputy D.
A in Maryland, special prosecutor to the Attorney general's office.
- Last known address? - North Hills penitentiary, Sir.
Minimum security.
Doing five day for jury tampering, obstruction of justice.
Yeah, I remember that case.
He was prosecutor in the first Taelon collaborator to be charge with treason.
After that fiasco charges against all the others were dropped.
Forced to prove his allegiance to the preservationist cause.
Who was judge in that trial? Jackson Claridge.
Claridge? We were more like partners.
Partners? Did you work with Renée Palmer at Doors international? No, I meant, partners in the fight against the Atavus.
So, you didn't work at Doors? No.
But, I know all about her old job.
Then you know, by continuing to search for the stasis chamber she was violating her employer orders.
- Objection your honor! - I rephrase.
Did the defendant tell you whether she had her employer's permission to go to Kamchatka? She quit.
Oh, actually she was fired for not abandoning her quest, correct? There were an all bunch of us on that submarine, it wasn't just Renée.
Well, the crew that she had hired.
- Actually, I hired them.
- You did? Whose mission was this? Both of ours.
This crew were they battle-trained? Yes, they were ex Taelon volunteers.
Alien collaborators.
Why am I not surprised? Objection, your honor.
Hearsay.
Withdrawn.
After this disastrous mission, the defendant went into hiding, did she not? She wasn't in hiding, she was trying to stop the Atavus.
Stop them how? Did she go to the police - bring evidence to the military? - She went to Hubble Urick.
Who, curiously, has no documentation of any kind, to support that assertion.
Do you recognize this? It's our website, I designed it.
The authorities wouldn't listen, so we decided to put the word out on the internet.
And what word was that? That the defendant was fighting for the world? She was, we both were.
When in fact she was fighting to find a new mission in life.
The Taelons were gone, the FBI no longer needed her services, she was fired from Doors, the world no longer needed her.
- So she created a need.
- No, you're wrong.
Wrong? The Atavus were released, someone is responsible.
- Do we have the wrong someone? - We were looking for Liam Kincaid.
Renée had no reason to believe that they were Atavus in that stasis chamber.
No reason, to think there were aliens - in an alien stasis chamber! - I was in charge of tech, and I never thought to scan for unique bio-signatures.
Objection.
The witness isn't on trial here.
You can't let her incriminate herself.
Do something! Sit down! Captain Michaels control your client.
I am your attorney.
If testimony minimizes your culpability No, I won't allow it.
I'm not just saying this as your layer.
If I didn't do everything I possibly could to save you, I couldn't live with myself.
Your honor.
- I wish a substitution of Attorney.
- Don't do this.
I represent myself, pro se.
If you retain Captain Michaels as court council, granted.
We went to Kamchatka, to find Liam.
You take an oath early, remember? I even forced you to rush preparations.
In fact You refused to go at first.
Renée, what are you doing? You're playing along with this kangaroo court? Permission to treat the witness as hostile, your honor? Granted.
The witness will answer.
Yes.
No.
I didn't understand.
Later, when the Atavus mapping crystal was activated, I pulled you out of a club, and forced you to come with me.
You didn't force me.
And you left the Antarctic facility, specifically to stop me from carrying out my agenda, isn't that true? That was a mistake, I didn't mean In fact you were never a willing participant in my plans.
You only went along with them because you were misfit in a corporate world, and I gave you something to belong to.
Isn't that true? You're under oath.
Fine.
I didn't give a damn about your private little war.
Is that what you want to hear? I didn't want any part of it.
It's just, I'd have a friend.
No more questions.
The witness is released.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
What do I do? A virus, Street.
Think how d'you cure a virus.
Hubble Urick.
Senate will do anything to stop my confirmation, won't they? Actually, this is nothing to do with your nomination.
I need to find someone.
Herman Forrester.
You were the presiding judge in his last trial.
I was wondering when someone digs that up to use against me.
Well, I'm not using anything.
I need to find him.
Before, him and his lynch mob kill Renée Palmer.
I wish, I can help you.
The preservationists have gain such popularity.
I I wonder if anyone will be able to stop them.
I want the phone records from the Prosecutor's office.
They might lead us to the force who has connection with the Preservationists.
You'll need a warrant for that.
I'm afraid, you'll have to find yourself another judge.
I'm late for court.
If you'd know something Do you really think, you can challenge a judge? I thought, you would have learned better, this morning.
They've used half truths, and distortions to create a lie.
If I don't take the stand it's gonna look like I'm hiding something.
Renée, this isn't real! Look what they did to Hubble and Street.
Is that you really why you don't me to take the stand? What? Do you think I have blood on my hands? - No.
- But I do.
I did open that Atavus chamber.
Renée.
They were always here, it was just a matter of time.
If it wasn't for you, we will have lost this war, a long time ago.
You've never stop fighting.
I'm just I'm just so tired.
We're checking lighthouses that they are out of service.
What have you got for me? Do you remember what Renée said at the end of my testimony? She asked me: "How do you cure a virus?" What the hell is that suppose to mean? Well, in homeopathic medicine you cure like with like.
Like using a virus to create a vaccine.
I uploaded a virus to the SatNews satellite, which infected their signal.
Once it works its way back to the Preservationists' server, I'll be able to take over their computer.
There's only one octagonal lighthouse big enough to be the one that you were in.
Cape Henry.
Cape Henry.
There's no portal station within miles.
Call the Naval base.
- Have helicopters standing by.
- I'm on it.
Street.
Pull them off, as long as you can.
After your entire crew was killed, did this shade any light on the Atavan agenda? They've been here for 3 million years.
They want to control the planet.
safe from them all this time.
- They were in stasis.
- In stasis.
- And who knew this? - No one, actually.
Apparently the Mothership's archive has some information.
You've been to the Mothership.
Did you have access to the archives? No.
Yet, somehow, you are the only person in 3 million years to find them.
Can you explain that? - I was looking for Liam Kincaid.
- Yes, he knew the link between the Taelons, Jaridians and the Atavus.
In fact, you knew that he went into that stasis hive, to find the Atavus.
He was trying to preserve the Taelon communality.
He disappeared.
Because he found what he was looking for, and it killed him.
Everyone knew he was dead, but you kept looking for Liam or something else? For Liam.
Against, the objections of your employer.
Violating the chain of FBI command, you open that stasis hive, killing your crew.
But you didn't die, because you knew what was in there.
And you told no one, an when you returned you kept this castastrophe to yourself.
No.
I've never stop fighting.
But the press branded me as a nut, and the tabloids had a full day ridiculing my warnings.
And where are the Atavus now? I believe, they are contained on the Mothership.
- Which you have continued to visit.
- Visit? I've brought in military attack teams, - with the intention of destroying them.
- Destroying them? You saved that Atavus youth.
The son of their leader.
He was different.
I hoped, he would help me stop the carnage.
You trusted an Atavus? Is this - how he stop the carnage.
- He wasn't responsible for that! Look, he told me that on their home planet, the Atavus have no need to feed on sentient life force.
Oh, now, you're sympathetic.
I thought you were trying to save mankind from these monsters.
I'm not out for revenge at any cost.
The best thing would be, if the Atavus simply return to their own planet.
Best for us, or best for them? Who are you trying to save, really? Objection.
Argumentative.
Overruled.
Your honor looks like we've been invaded by a virus.
Stop the cameras.
- Has our security been compromised? - I'm not sure.
We have to isolate the virus to terminate the protocol, Sir.
We'll have to fore call your cross, Captain.
You do the closing, I've got an idea.
Brendon, I've told Street to upload a virus to take over their computer.
- She has control of the cameras.
- We're broadcasting again? Alright, this is our chance.
- What are you gonna do? - Just follow my lead.
Your honor, if I'm denied my right to cross examine the witness, you must declare a mistrial.
I remind you Captain, this is still my court.
If I'm not allowed to question the defendant, then this court can't hold at no pretence of justice to the people.
I've heard enough, and so the people.
Make up your mind, Captain.
- Do you wish to close, or not? - I'll close, your honor.
You were warned to respect the authority of this court.
You defied my order.
Do you really think you can expose us, and leave this premises alive? You've just sealed your fate.
Both of you.
Lieutenant Morran! Prepare the prisoners for execution.
Judge Claridge I demand, you recuse yourself from this case.
You have passed judgment on my client, well before this trial ever began.
I'm afraid that's moved now, counselor.
By trying to thwart justice, all you did was sacrifice your client and yourself.
So, what, you're gonna execute us for content a court? And, you seriously believe, you're acting within the law? Justice became a joke in this country long ago.
Washington is overrun by hybrids, now they have inalienable rights.
What about our rights? The laws are shame.
Who decides to ignore the law? You? You think that's the will of the people? I'm the law.
I know what's best for this country.
The people think what I tell them to think.
Really? I think people disagree.
A remote user's taking command of the system.
I can't shut off the camera, Sir.
Don't listen to her, it's a trick.
Don't you see? She destroys everything.
The will of the people must be heard.
Washington! She'd betrayed us all.
I've devoted my life to the law.
Do you presume you know more than I? Will you take the word of a traitor, an alien collaborator over mine? Listen to me.
All that we hold sacred is faced with annihilation.
Our minds will be polluted in the cesspool of Atavan DNA.
If you are against me! You are against humanity! It's over Claridge.
The people have spoken.
This is still my court room! Renée Palmer.
I find you guilty of conspiracy and accessory to murder.
By the power invested in me, you are hereby sentenced to death.
I'd thought I'd seen the worst evil of the world I've ever seen.
I was wrong.
You are that evil, and all who stand with you.
Kill her! This court cannot pass sentence without a unanimous finding of guilt.
I'm the head justice, and the supreme commander of this militia! Kill her! I didn't sign on for this.
Jackson Claridge.
You're under arrest for kidnapping and murder, and for defrauding the American people.
Move on.
Let's go.
You too.
This way.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
In a shocking twist, Judge Jackson Claridge was exposed as the leader of the Preservationists.
As a great statesman William Pitt one said: "Where law ends, tyranny begins.
" Today, a woman named Renée Palmer, was all that stood, between us and tyranny.
