Earth: Final Conflict

Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict:

Have you ever dreamed of reliving the greatest moment in your life?

With MNEME you can experience once again your most cherished memories.

People are using the MNEME to experience other people's memories,

eavesdropping on their most painful, most personal experiences.

You can't just share a memory.

So, you think they're selling people's memories on the black market?

Remember when you played guinea pig for the MNEME?

We got great coverage on it as I recall, and it's all right here.

Renee Palmer,

show me your fears.

- You're a fraud. - You're a fraud.

- You're fraud. - We don't like you.

Just leave me alone.

- You don't belong. - You don't belong.

Just stop it.

- You're a fraud. - You're a fraud.

Shut up! You're driving me crazy.

Sorry, Crash, we only hire people with talent.

Your friend on the other hand...

- Your friend Amp has what it takes. - Unlike you.

No, no, no. Amp and I were supposed to be partners. I mean, he stole my ideas.

- He says you lying. - Liar!

Face it, punk, you don't have what it takes.

Which makes you the biggest loser on the planet.

Look, why don't you just tell them what really happened?

Loser.

- You son of a bitch, I'm gonna kill you. - Is that what you want, Crash?

Okay, he stole from me. That was my work. That was my ideas.

- Come on, man, I thought we were friends. - What are friends for, loser?

Loser.

He deserves to die.

Now you're mine.

Oh, God. What's happening to me?

Subtitled by Axarion

They have come to Earth with the promise of peace.

An alien race called the Taelons.

But, there are those who resist these Alien Companions.

For the Taelons' true mission,

the secrets they hide

will forever alter our world.

The fate of humanity now relies

on those who dare challenge the future

of Earth.

- Are you sure this is legal? - It's totally legit.

When it comes to the IRS I'm your go to gal, just

give me a momentito to crunch some numbers here.

Oh, look...

- The government owes you 8,000 dollars. - Oh, that can't be right.

You're a Companion Protector, you get a travel deduction for every kilometer.

How did you come up with 12 million kilometers?

It's a long way to the mother ship.

- I'm not gonna cheat on my taxes. - Every penny of it is deductible.

If you don't believe me, you can

hire some staff shrewd accountant. He'll tell you the same thing.

8,000 dollars? The least I can do is buy you lunch.

- You're gonna have to do better than that. - Well, what do you have in mind, Street?

I need some help. Lots of help, actually.

Well, I owe you. Name it.

Can you spring a friend of mine from jail?

What are the charges?

Murder. And he doesn't have an alibi.

But he didn't do it.

Crash is cool.

You sure I can't buy you lunch instead?

It's just crap.

All it says is you're promising to do business with us and no one else.

Fine. Write that down I'll sign it.

Miss Jakes, I know it sound like overkill,

but we're just trying to protect ourselves from the competition.

Did I ever tell you, you are seriously cropped out?

Guilty as charged. Now, would you sign?

At least you're honest.

What about that field test? I'd like to start next...

Come in.

Promise you won't throw anything at me?

Your assistant remembered me and let me up.

He did, did he? I'll have to talk to him about that.

Have lunch with me, give me chance to apologize.

No, no, I really can't get away right now.

I knew you were gonna say that. So, I brought this.

You got to eat some time.

Something tells me we worked together before, Detective Nepps.

Could be. Volunteer Investigations Unit recruited from me the FBI.

So, how do you like your new job?

The pay is better, so are the benefits, OOT, bonus for closing a case.

Nice perks.

And under the Companion Protector decree

there are no more Miranda rights, no Supreme Court to worry about.

I see your hands have been pretty much untied.

Oh, crime against the Taelons is becoming more sophisticated. We're coping.

How does this particular case qualify as a crime involving the Taelons?

The murder weapon.

It's a bandit Taelon technology twisted in a way only a human mind could imagine.

- Isn't that evidence? - It's already been through forensics.

A knife with an energy blade.

Now there's perverted application of technology.

It gets better.

One for stabbing, one for slashing.

Well, it's a weapon of choice in the Fringes these days.

Three homicides in two weeks.

Each time the body's been slashed, then moved and dump in alleyway.

- Sounds like a serial killer to me. - No, it's a different attacker every time.

- What makes you so sure? - The sniffer.

Oh, I've seen it, it collects biochemical residue.

This puppy not only collects it, it analyses it and instantaneously identifies the DNA.

How accurate is it?

Watch.

Ok, here we go.

Her name is Olga Lagos, she's wearing L'air du temps,

and by the acid of her skin I'd bet she had orange juice for breakfast.

Not bad!

Look, Kincaid,

I know you outrank me here, so, please, excuse any disrespect,

but why the sudden interest in one of my cases?

I have a friend who thinks the kid you're holding is innocent.

Well, tell your friend that the suspect's biochemical signature

is all over the murder weapon.

Remember we had that picnic in Unity Park?

I wanted to be romantic, instead I got poison ivy.

I guess I should have taken it as an omen.

- Don't say that. - Come on, Ken.

You and I could never work, we're too much alike, too competitive.

Well, maybe we should try little cooperation for a change.

I noticed that Doors International has some pretty interesting venture capital projects.

- As does Mathews Investments. - But you beat me with Janis Jakes.

I win some, you lose some.

Could she really deliver the lucid dreaming hardware everyone's been talking about?

It's memory science taking to the next level.

- How so? - Well, the memory device,

the MNEME technology allows you to relive your own memories.

Janis' adaptation, allows you to create selected dreams in real time.

Alright, let say you wanna dream about Tahiti.

You adjust the head set, drift off, you're there.

I'd rather dream about you.

At least have dinner with me tomorrow night.

Look, Ken, we tried to make it work for six months...

It just wasn't meant to be.

Truth is I miss you.

I miss having you to talk to.

Sorry to disturb you, Ms. Palmer, but the ambassador has arrived.

Tell him I'll be right out.

Eight o'clock. And we split the check.

So, let me get this straight.

You and Amp had a philosophical disagreement.

The technology is supposed to be free.

Alright, you share what you do and everyone wins.

- So, you're not interested in making money? - No way, man,

you didn't know who was Amp. Amp was way into the green. I mean,

we were... we were writing codes for this... this...

project we were working on. There was this major company

that was interested in buying it.

- You said no, Amp said yes. - No, worse.

He told them that he wrote the code by himself.

Okay, look, I've... I've never told anybody about this before and...

the night before it happened I had this dream.

Okay, and it way too weird, and..

I, uh... I was hearing these voices, okay, and this voice,

okay, this voice told me to kill Amp.

Oh, come on, Crash, with the five million dollar motive?

- No jury's gonna buy an insanity defense. - That is not what I'm saying.

Okay, what I'm saying is that somebody... somebody invaded my dream, okay.

And whoever it was, they killed Amp, and then they planted evidence to frame me.

Wait a second. You're trying to tell me, that you and your buddies

can actually invade someone else's dreams.

I can't, okay? But I know people who can.

I know the technology is out there, I've played around with it, alright?

And I'm saying that the murder took place exactly like it did inside my dream.

The energy knife, everything was the same.

And why would somebody do that?

In some demented way I feel like um...

You know I feel like whoever it is, they're trying to get back at me.

- Get back at you for what? - I don't know.

I don't know, I ju...

I just...

Every night, you know, I just... I keep hearing the whispering.

And I hear... I hear the voice and...

and it keeps telling me, you know, that I...

that I think I'm so hot, and I'm no better than he is, and...

And you know, and I was too chicken to kill Amp, so he had to do it for me.

This voice is telling me, okay, that I'm the guilty one, not him.

That I deserve everything that is happening to me.

Oh, man, I just...

I...

I'm afraid to go to sleep at night.

It's getting late. We should be heading back.

I'll race you to the water?

How much of a head start do you need?

Come here.

- I've missed you so much. - I wish I could believe that.

Let me show you.

Ken?

- He's gone now. - Who are you?

Your needs, your desires your instincts.

Others have been dreaming about you, Renee.

I was hoping to get to know you better.

Look, I know this sounds crazy,

but Crash thinks that someone made him dream the murder,

then went out and killed Amp for real.

- Why would someone do that? - Just what I asked.
