Earth: Final Conflict

Let's move it. The show opens in two days.

In case I never mentioned it,

that was a very special eulogy you gave at Boone's funeral.

You think so?

Enlightening to say the least.

Enlightening? How so?

And that little homage of yours about treason.

How did you put it? "The laurel is green for a season"

"and love is sweet for a day,"

"but love grows bitter with treason,"

"and laurel outlives not may".

And you found that enlightening?

Sure did, especially when I thought about the close call

Da'an and I had with the Jaridian replicant that tried to kill us.

Don't beat around the bush, Major.

You got a bone to pick with me, get right to the meat of it.

Get off it, Sandoval. The weapon you gave me to protect Da'an

was engineered to fail and you know it.

A slingshot and a rock would have been more effective.

Really?

Then how do you explain you're still here?

The luck of the Irish, Mister Sandoval.

The luck of the Irish.

Hello?

Subtitled by Axarion

They are the Companions.

Aliens come to Earth on a mission of peace.

Their true mission,

the secrets they hide, forever alter humanity.

Caught in the struggle between these Taelon Companions

and the Human Resistance is Liam Kincaid.

A man who is more than human.

The mysteries of his past hold the key to Earth's future

and the fate of mankind.

On Earth Final Conflict.

She killed him.

June 20.

Two days in the future.

Have you found her?

Excuse me?

Capt. Marquette has been out of contact for over two hours now.

You don't seem too concerned, Major.

Focus, Mr. Sandoval.

Don't mistake that for the lack of concern.

You traveled in time!

Did you hear anything I said?

The whole Liberation will be dead in two days

unless we find a way to stop it.

Everyone?

Yes. Jonathan Doors, Doctor Park.

Lili.

And?

And what?

What, you?

Huh?

Yes.

No.

You weren't there.

- Well, have you told Lili yet? - No, and I'm not going to.

Why not?

Because from the way the bodies were lying an the hits on Doors,

she may have done it.

Done what?

Killed Doors!

And everyone else!

Come on! This is crazy! Lili killing Doors?

I know what I saw, Augur.

Then why are you telling me? You might as well accuse me next.

You weren't there.

And I need to trust somebody.

And you haven't offered any potent explanation as to how Agent Kincaid

was able to defeat the replicant with an inadequate weapon.

And more importantly.

How was Da'an able to miraculously

rejoin the Commonality after he was cut off from it?

Does Da'an offered and explanation?

He's pleading ignorance.

And Da'an is not ignorant.

Could Da'an conceal his thoughts from the Commonality?

The Commonality links all Taelons,

but it does not allow us into every corner of each other's minds.

By rejoining the Commonality, Da'an has accomplished

something only the Kimera could do.

The Kimera?

Ha'gel's race.

A genetic predecessor of the Taelons.

But Ha'gel's dead.

Yes.

I no longer sense Ha'gel's presence within the Commonality.

Yet somehow...

Is it conceivable that when Ha'gel was on Earth

he gave Da'an the power to rejoin the Commonality?

That would be without precedent in Taelon history.

There is another link between these two events.

Liam Kincaid was with Da'an when the replicant attacked,

and when Da'an rejoined the Commonality.

Then I suggest this link be severed.

Permanently.

And so with the help of Taelon technology

we hope to revolutionize the treatment of mental illness.

Like fingerprints, brainwaves are unique to each individual.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the principal benefactor of this project,

Zo'or, from the Taelon Synod.

As I was saying.

This is the PET scan taken from Subject J earlier this week.

It measures the serotonin levels in the brain.

Now, at that time Patient J was diagnosed

with a severe paranoia, induced dementia

which manifested itself with violent psychotic episodes.

After a few days of what my colleagues so flatteringly

refer to as the Barrow treatment,

Patient J's brainwaves exhibited the following change,

accelerated here for emphasis.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you Patient J.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be more than happy to answer

any questions you have after lunch.

Thank you very much.

A very impressive presentation, Doctor.

It appears you're making great progress.

Thank you, but I'm sure you're...

I'm sure you're far more interested

in the progress your project is making.

Yes, if you would be so kind.

My pleasure. I... I trust you won't be dissatisfied.

You said this subject had no previous history of violence.

Absolutely not.

He's a divinity student from Georgetown University.

Will the destructive behavior continue?

Yes.

Unless the patient's treated for dementia.

Then the effects can be reversed.

Yes.

If the patient doesn't commit suicide first,

which is exactly what he will do if he's left untreated.

I believe we are ready to proceed.

Prepare your equipment for transport to the mother ship immediately.

Can the future be changed?

This query has many levels of complexity,

and as such defies a simple answer.

That doesn't help me, Da'an.

There was a great Taelon leader, Po'om,

whose servant was terrified,

because Death smiled on him at the marketplace.

Certain that this meant his end was imminent,

the servant begged to be sent to the outpost of Ger'om,

which Po'om honored.

Later that day Po'om went to the marketplace and asked Death

why he had smiled at the servant.

- To which Death... - Replied

that he was surprised to see the servant in the city,

because he had an appointment with him that night on the Ger'om outpost.

I know that fable.

Of course, you do.

It is part of your Taelon heritage.

Can you find your answer in this?

The future can't be changed.

No, look beyond the surface.

The future can be changed, but only if fate will allow it.

Fate?

Taelons do not tempt fate.

That is why we have banned travel in the 4th dimension.

You mean time.

Yes.

Time.

It's me.

I'm the killer.

I have already explained that the results from A Wing were successful

because we were able to beam the brainwaves

directly into subject from a relatively short distance.

And I already explained that if you do not deliver what you promised

I have a dozen other scientists willing to take your place.

Now.

I shall ask you again, Doctor.

Will this work or not?

Not unless we can move the ship closer to the Earth.

How close?

We have to be within 100,000 feet.

I could... I could diffuse the beam over a broad area.

At this distance from the Earth the subject should respond within 2 days.

And will the subject be cognizant of what's happening to him?

Oh, that's highly unlikely with this gradual exposure.

I shall make necessary arrangements.

Flew like a butterfly,

sting like a bee.

- You're chump on the ropes! - You're Muhammad Ali.

- The prettiest! - The baddest.

Augur...

Liam!

Augur...

I'm the one.

You're right. You're one of a kind.

I'm the one killed everyone.

I caused it to happen.

Look, Liam, I know you believe what you're saying, but...
