Earth: Final Conflict

Tell me about him.

Thomas Blanchard.

He was asleep in his cell at Attica,

when someone took a lead pipe to him.

Brain dead?

He's failed the neurological tests repeatedly.

The only thing keeping him alive is what you see.

Looks like he fits the profile.

Young, agile.

His cover is perfect.

He's a thief.

A good one.

I don't know.

Listen, Colonel.

We're not going to find anyone more suitable within the time frame.

It's not your neck on the line.

Your neck's already on the line.

The doctor said you should have been dead a month ago.

Thanks for reminding me.

Brain transplant complete.

Initializing memory download procedure.

Memory download complete.

Brain activity confirmed.

Download successful.

Welcome back, Colonel.

How does it feel to be forty years younger?

Subtitled by Axarion

Three years ago they came,

forever altering the future of humanity.

William Boone's life has been destroyed.

A man caught between two worlds.

Assigned protector to the Companions;

undercover agent for the Liberation.

An alien implanted cyber-virus expands his mind.

Controlling a bio-engineered weapon of unprecedented power.

William Boone searches for the truth.

Right on time Commander. For once.

Is Da'an here?

And Zo'or.

The lifeblood of today's world

is electronic data transmission.

The secure flow of information is as important to us

as secure trade roots were in the past.

This device

is designed to attack that flow.

It's the most successful weapon developed yet,

for information warfare.

IW around here.

I understood the IW prototypes were first tested in the late 90's?

Primitive weaponry.

Which destroyed not only their objectives,

but every other electronic system around them.

We have shown your technologists

how to focus the electromagnetic pulse

through Taelon shielding.

With this weapon, an enemy can be rendered both deaf and dumb,

without the direct loss of life.

What enemy did you have in mind when you developed the weapon?

We do not employ weapons, Commander, as you are aware.

We have aided Ms. Portnoy in the creation of this device

merely to prevent its misuse be those with

less enlighten views.

Would you like a demonstration?

Sandoval, you can't be serious!

Call the paramedics.

Something has changed dramatically.

Other than the skrill the Taelons

have never shown any interest in developing weapons.

Doors has been predicting this for a long time.

He thinks they're getting ready for a more overt form of conquest.

We'd better hope he's wrong.

Lili.

Mom! Hi!

What's wrong?

I've got bad news.

Your father...

Oh, mom.

It was his heart.

No surprise there.

I've been trying to make the arrangements, but...

Lili, I know how you felt about him, but...

No, mom, come on, don't do that.

You know that I'll be there to help you. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Your father and I have been separated for all these years now, but...

All these emotions come flooding back.

I know, I know. I'll uh...

I'll see you first thing tomorrow.

Okay, honey.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, mom.

I'm so sorry.

Don't.

I mean, I mean, thanks, but uh...

You know, it's not like we were very close or anything.

I don't think I've talked to him in like, ten years.

Not since my brother...

Look, I can handle Doors if you want.

No, it's okay.

I'll be all right. Just uh...

Just give me a couple of minutes.

Yeah, sure.

I've got it.

I want every inch of the lab swept.

No one leaves until you come up with an errant DNA sample.

When was it stolen?

Estimate 4 am.

Rooftop entry, disabling the security sensors along the route.

The security here is as good as it gets.

That's why I'm convinced there had to be inside help at the lab.

Agent Sandoval,

what may I inform the Synod about the theft of this weapon?

Everyone with security clearance is being interrogated, Da'an.

And I'm convinced we'll come up with a conspirator at day's end.

Da'an, this weapon could prove a nightmare in the wrong hands.

Do you fear such aggression?

I do.

Then you must retrieve it with haste.

We do not wish to see this device used as the means of mass destruction.

Could this weapon also pose a threat to Taelon systems?

You must prevent that possibility from being tested.

I understand.

I have been informed about the death of Capt. Marquette's father.

She should be removed from this case,

and allowed the proper time to grieve.

Da'an, knowing Capt. Marquette as I do,

I think she'd rather be...

I believe I have stated my wish.

Who the hell are you?

Calm yourself. I'm here to discuss a matter of mutual profit.

My friend, if you're looking for a fence, go to a pawn shop.

You have an enviable reputation as a man who can sell anything to anyone,

even the most rarefied of objects.

And I suppose you just happened to have a rarefied object.

The first practical information warfare weapon,

Companion engineered.

Companion?

That is rare.

I suppose you expect me to believe you based on faith.

Well, it's difficult to convince you when I'm standing out here.

Fine.

You can enter.

Think you can find a buyer for this, Mr. Pawnshop?

Depends.

Who did you have in mind?

I'm not particular.

Anyone who has at least 50 million in negotiable bonds.

And quickly. I'm not anxious to hold onto this.

Noon, tomorrow.

I should be able to find a buyer by then.

Let's hope your reputation means something.

Oh.

and if you're thinking of going to the police, or Companion security,

I've seen where you sleep.

How are you holding up?

It's almost surreal.

Playing the widow after 10 years of living apart.

You shared a lot of life together.

Two children.

You know, he called me out of the blue about three months ago.

Of course, he didn't tell me how sick he really was, but...

It seemed that he wanted to talk,

about you,

even about your brother.

What did he say?

Oh. Not very much.

You know how hard it was for your father to really let people in.

But he did tell me how proud he was of you.

Working with the Companions,

making a better world.

You try to remember that when you think of him.

Thanks, mom.

Ooh, here's his cousin Frank.

I better go talk to him.

Fathers should be mourned more than this.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could feel more.

Peace...

and love.

His name is Thomas Blanchard. He was released from prison two months ago.

It looks like stealing a Taelon weapon's a bit out of his league, isn't it?

Oh, a touch, but he has the weapon. I've seen it.

I've seen this man.

Yeah. He was at the Doors International Tower the night of the theft.

He must've been assessing the security.

Why would he come to you to find him a buyer?

Because I can.

Unloading something like this takes a certain gift.

I can think of only one or two others he could trust it to.

I don't know.

You think this it a trap?

I have to think like that if I want to stay alive.

He never mentioned you as a buyer.

All he wants is the highest price.

Well, the prospect of the Taelons

controlling this technology scares the hell out of me.

Look, if we want to get this weapon back, we have to move quickly.

Sandoval is working around the clock to find it, and he will.

I'll check out Blanchard in the security database, make sure he's legit.

Now that could be a problem.

What are you talking about?
