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
on the people's memories.
Eavesdropping on their most
painful most personal experiences.
You can't just share 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 a quick cover and datas record, and it's all...
right here.
Renee Palmer...
show me your fears
(- You're a fri....)
(- You're a fri....)
(- YOU'RE A FRIED....)
- We don't like...
Just leave me alone!
- ... You don't belong...
- ... don't belong...
Just stop it.
(- You're a fri....)
(- You're a fri....)
Stop! You driving me crazy.
Sorry Crash we only are people who tempt.
Your friend on the other hand.
- Your friend Amp has what it takes.
- Unlike you.
No no, Amp and I was supposed to be partners.
I mean, he stole my ideas.
- He says you lying.
- Liar!
Face it punk, you don't have what he takes.
Which makes you the biggest looser
on the planet.
The woman just tell what really happened.
Looser.
- Sound like I'm gonna kill you
"- Is that what you want Crash?"
He stole from me, that was... my work.
That was my ideas.
- Come on man, I thought we were friends.
- What a friend's for a looser!
Loser
(He deserves to die.)
(Now you're mine.)
Oh God.
What's happening to me?
They have come to Earth
with a promise of peace
an alien race...
called the Tealons.
But there are those who resist theses...
alien Companions...
And the Taelon's true mission ...
the secrets they hide...
will for ever altered our world.

Season 4 - Episode 10
"DREAM STALKER"
- Are you sure this is legal?
- It's totally legit.
When it comes to the IRS
I'm your go to scientist.
Give me a momentito
to crunch some numbers here.
Oh, look...
- the government owes you eight thousand dollars.
- Oh, that can't be right.
You're a Companion Protector,
you get a triple deduction for every kilometer.
How do you come out
with twelve million kilometers?
It's a long way to the mother ship!
- I'm not gonna cheat on my taxes.
- Every penny of this are deductible.
If you don't believe me,
you can hire some staff chief accountant.
They'll find the same thing.
Eight thousand dollars.
The least I can do, is buy you lunch.
You can have to do better than that.
Well... what 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're sure I can't buy you lunch instead?
It's just crap.
All it says is you 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 we just sign?
At least you're honest!
About that field test, I'd like to start...
Come in.
Promise you won't throw anything at me?
Your assistant remember me,
he 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 get away right now.
I knew you will gonna say that.
So I brought this.
You got to eat some time.
Something tells me we work together
before Detective Nepps.
Could be.
Volunteer Investigations Unit
recruted from me the FBI.
So how do you like your new job?
Pay is better, so the benefits, 00T,
bonus for closing a case.
Nice bucks.
And under the Companion protector decree.
Their are no more handle rights
no supreme court to worry about.
I see, your hands had been pretty much untied.
Org. crime against the Taelons
is becoming more sophisticated.
We're copping.
How does this particular case
fall 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 an evidence?
- It's already been through forensics.
Well, a knife with an energy blade.
That there's a perverted application of technology.
It gets better.
One for stabbing,
one for slashing.
Well, it's a weapon of choice
in a 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's make you so sure?
- The Sniffer.
I have seen it, it collects chemical residue.
This puppy not only collects it and analyses it
and almost instantaneously identify 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 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 about one of my cases?
I have a friend who thinks the kid
you holding is innocent.
Well, tell your friend that the suspect
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
instead of no man.
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
a little cooperation for a change.
I notice that Doors international has
some pretty interest in venture capital projects.
- As does Matthew's investments.
- But you beat me with Janice Jakes.
I win some you loose some.
Could she really deliver the lucid dreaming
hardware we've once been talking about?
It's memory signs taking to the next level.
How so?
Well, the memory device, the MNEME technologie
allows you to relive your own memories.
Janice's 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 diner with me tomorrow night.
Look Ken, we try
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 Miss 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
whenever one wants.
- You said, you're not interested to make it for money.
- Oh wait man...
you didn't know those Amp.
Amp was way under the green.
We... we were writing codes
for this... this...
project we were working on.
This major Company was interested in buying it.
- You said "No" Amp said "Yes".
- No, worse.
He told them
that he wrote the code by himself.
OK. I've never told anybody about
this before and...
the night before it happened
I had this dream.
Ok..
it's way too weird, and..
I... I was hearing these voices,
Ok and this voice...
OK, 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.
OK, what I'm saying, is that somebody...
somebody invaded my dream, OK.
Whoever it was, they kill Amp,
and then they planted evidences to frame me.
Wait a second. You try to tell me,
that you and your buddies...
can actually invade someone else's dreams.
- I can't, ok?
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 he did inside my dream.
The energy knife, everything was the same.
Why would somebody do that?
In some demented way I feel like...
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.
I hear, I hear the voice...
and... he keeps telling me,
that I take him so high,
I'm no better than he is.
And you know, I was too chicken to kill Amp,
so they had to do it for me.
This voice is telling me, OK.
That I'm the guilty one, not him.
That I deserve everything
that is happening to me.
And now I just...
I...
I'm afraid to go to sleep at night.
It's getting late,
we should be heading back.
A race 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 Renée.)
(I was open to get to know you better.)
Look, I know it 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.
Crash says the guy is a grudge.
He told Crash he got what he deserved.
Come on, the only thing the dream headset does,
is that let you control your own dreams,
not invade some one else's.
But it's possible.
If dream survey existed
I'd not already know about it, I'd own it.
Doors has a contract with Janice Jakes,
she's like the Queen of dream.
Hello, Janice is a major has-been.
She has to be at least thirty.
That's not a crime you know.
Speaking of dream,
I have kind of a strange one myself last night.
Any details you'd like to share?
No. Anyway it wasn't violent.
Look I'll ask Janice if she's been holding on to me
but I really think it's a waste of time.
Maybe Da'an knows something about this.
I doubt it.
Even if they got the technology
the Tealons don't have the imagination
to come up with anything is created
this dream surfing.
They were imaginative enough to use
MNEME technology to steal our memories.
Like you so far.
And you believe...
we possess this dream technology.
The thought cross my mind.
Such an invasion would be a serious
violation of privacy.
That hasn't stopped Zo'or before.
Also I'm reasonably positive that the Taelons
have no knowledge of this matter.
I shall make inquiries
just to be certain.
I appreciate it.
I continue to be impressed
with humanity's ingenuity,
in applying the technology which the Taelons
have so generously bestowed upon them.
We call it imagination.
It is sadness that such imagination
so often has negative consequences.
I like to think of the good aspect of that.
Most of the time.
Let us hope you are right.
Bring me this pirated technology at once.
Anticipating your request...
I already have agents in the field
working undercover.
Then instruct them to work harder.
This dream device,
has many interesting possibilities.
You know Janice...
Doors international would be very interrested
in licensing your plasma circuitry.
Not everything has a price.
- It does where I come from.
- Oh yeah, what's yours.
No, you couldn't afford me, but,
try to guess.
I love when the play hard to get.
Now listen...
I think you hear these rumors someone selling
dream surfing technology
on the black market these days.
It's not me.
Speed, where is that java?
I finish the code on the interface.
Hey, have we met?
Yeah, I am surprised that you remember,
you must meet hundreds of people.
Oh thanks. Yeah of course I remember,
you came up to my office.
You were working on an enviro-shield.
It does still have a few glitches if I recall.
Well, I've managed to resolve,
most of them.
Anyway as of three weeks ago
I work for Janice.
Well, good luck with the project,
it has potential.
Thanks..., I guess I should...
- get back to the interface, yeah?
- The interface can wait.
Tell him what you heard
about that new dream tech.
Yeah, it lets the user
enters someone else's dream.
Sure, sounds possible.
- which will mean our project is already obsolete.
- Don't you own to keep your mouth shut?
What!
You always say
that anything's possible.
Possible!
Miss Palmer have a stay, you're welcome.
Look I was only asking a question,
I didn't mean to offend you.
Well, you did! Now go.
Alright, alright.
Just make sure we're still on target
for that production dead line...
Bla, bla, bla.
She always has this temperament?
Only when she's being creative.
I've one hell of a creative afternoon.
Take a look at this.
What am I looking at?
The first generation dream surfing reg.
I got it from a friend of a friend.
It sends and receives bio-frequencies,
but only within a twenty yards radius.
- If it works.
- Oh, it works.
I tested it!
This is bootleg technology Street,
won't you just a little worried
about frying your brain?
No pain, no gain.
Tell me what you dreamed about last night.
- I don't remember my dreams.
- Sure you do!
You were sitting...
on this beautiful beach, all alone...
and there was this woman...
swimming towards the shore.
How do you know that?
She got out of the water...
and started towards you,
and she was the most perfect creature you've ever seen...
until I showed up and turned her into a seal.
I can't believe this.
- Oh, she really wasn't your type anyway.
- You put yourself in my dream?
I told you Crash was innocent.
Maybe.
But we know the technology exists.
It still doesn't explain how
the biochemical signature got on the knife.
That's your department fly boy.
Detective Nepps said there were three other murderers
with the same memories as Crash.
Meaning?
Meaning if there is a serial killer
stalking people's dreams...
I bet he paid them a visit as well.
Open the case.
The amount we agreed on.
Your merchandise.
Sweet dreams agent Sandoval.
So...
Jonathan Doors got sons
that could pretty much running the company.
Well, they're at the board of directors but...
Thank you.
...the most part I do what I want.
We must partner of that Janice Jake's diddle.
We've always make a terrific team.
Ken I told you, Doors isn't interested
in co-venturing on this one.
You know...
I bet I can change your mind by breakfast.
Is that what all this is about?
A business proposition.
Oh, what if it is?
The biggest turnover
are always turning to profit.
May be I should call a cab.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
You see, I did a little homework
after we've broke up.
Something just didn't make sense, so,
I hired a professional to do some checking.
You had me watched.
In fact I did.
I match dates,
places, times you were missing,...
times you ran an unexpected business trip,
and I came up with a very interesting theory.
It seems possible that my girlfriend
could have been working for the resistance.
You know what?
I don't have time for this.
Amnesty or not Renée...
a past with the resistance
will cost you your career.
How dare you try to blackmail me.
Say me we have a deal.
I can't believe I was ever in love with you.
Love... you were never more
than a good time on a saturday night.
Call me in the morning Sweet.
I have my lawyers dropped the papers.
Go to hell.
I know your secrets Renée,
all of them.
You can't run away,
there's nowhere to hide.
I never loved you Renée.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
- I used you.
- Stop it.
(You could make it stop Renée.)
(You know what to do.)
- She's resistant... she's resistant.
- STOP IT.
She's a resistant.
I said...
- Stop it.
(- Do it.)
(It's what you really want, isn't it?)
(Give into it Renée.)
(- That's it!)
(Give into it.)
(- He deserves to die.)
You've reach Ken Matthews
leave message and I call you back.
Hi Miss Palmer, What's up?
I was trying to reach Janice,
is she around?
Joining the club...
No she said she's gonna pop up on later,
you want me to leave her a message for you?
Oh no, that's alright.
I was just checking in, thanks
Miss Palmer.
Yes?
I was wondering if I could have
a couple minutes of your time?
And you're?
Detective Sam Nepps,
Volunteer Investigations.
We met at the fun resort last week.
What can I do for you detective?
Well if you don't mind my asking...
Who were you with last night?
I was having dinner
with a business associate.
His name is Ken Matthews.
When was the last time
you spoke to mister Matthews?
Last night.
I try... I try calling him this morning
but no-one answer.
That's because he's in the morgue.
Renée Palmer...
I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder of Kenneth Matthews.
I asked for a lawyer three hours ago.
This is Volunteer investigations.
You don't get a lawyer.
Nepps let me see you as a favor.
I sure probably wanted him dead.
But you didn't kill him,
I talk to the other suspects...
all of them heard the dream stalker's voice.
The evidence they found on that knife
is not a dream.
The killer planted it.
And how did he get my biochemical signature?
You came into contact with him at some point.
So did the other suspects.
I come into contact with hundreds of people,
and that's before lunch.
Edwin has the list.
Did the stalker say anything
that would help to identify him?
Well, he's a violence junkie that's for sure.
He told me...
I belong to him now.
That I'll get what I deserve.
Sound's like a grudge.
Just like Crash.
Nepps always seems to be in the right place
at the right time.
He is a cop, his job is to be in the right place
at the right time.
He claims...
we met at the fun resort a week ago.
****.
My guess is he's watching us right now.
I'll check him out.
Did Janice Jakes give you anything?
No, she was not aware, so.
Well, the Taelon said they don't either.
Someone is lying.
Why have you come?
I have something you need.
You have tortured me
for the last time agent Sandoval.
I shall expose you for the monster
you really are.
You expose me...
then the synod would know
you're a kriss habit.
When Zo'or learns
that you have aided the Jaridians...
you will be executed.
I won't let you do this to me.
You have betrayed the Tealons.
You have betrayed humanity.
You...
will be punished!
(Give into it.)
(He deserves to die.)
(Now you're mine.)
Ho!
Well, at least we know that all the people
who were framed are connected to dream technology.
I knew that twelve hours ago.
OK, you win.
We've been up all night we've got squad.
Does it make feel you better?
Oh better than this stuff,
what do you put in here?
Soil milk instead of cream,
and stavia instead of sugar.
- It's healthy.
- Now it's plant food.
Did you come out any specs on the energy knife?
Just so happens I did.
Hacked into the Volunteers evidence bank.
It's an FR 100.
Military issue.
It used power everything
from weapons to toaster ovens.
Not this one. It's been adapted
with a bootleg amplifier.
The whole thing looks like
it's built from spare parts.
This is home made as apple pie.
So if we find out who's been buying bootleg amplifiers,
we may find the killer.
A strange page from Da'an.
Da'an?
I am here Major.
Da'an what happen?
There is no cause for alarm.
I am quiet well.
Although I will require a new exo-covering.
Who did this to you?
I was in an energy shower at the time,
so I did not see my assailant.
Security didn't catch him?
He was able to override
top level security protocols and thus evaded the guards.
Fortunately...
we have recovered his weapon.
- An energy knife.
Which mean you have an ID.?
Apparently...
my attacker...
was Ronald Sandoval.
You are most fortunate
that Da'an survive your brutal attack.
Or you will already be dead.
I'm innocent Zo'or.
I have no reason to hurt Da'an,
or any Taelon.
You are the only human intrusted
with level 5 security protocols.
He's telling you the truth Zo'or.
Your loyalty to your species
is commendable Major Kincaid.
But a Taelon has been brutally attacked.
The perpetrator must be punished.
Agent Sandoval isn't the perpetrator.
We recovered a weapon
with agent Sandoval's biochemical signature.
His security codes were used to access
the embassy and confound the guards.
We're dealing with a technical genius.
The attacker captured Sandoval's codes
by hacking into the embassy mainframe.
Ridiculous!
Our system is impenetrable.
I just spoke to Volunteer Investigations,
they confirm the system was breached.
Bring me this intruder...
and I will reconsider the case
against agent Sandoval.
Until then...
he will remain in detention.
A human will pay for this crime.
I need your connection
to bandit dream technology.
I don't know what you're talking about.
A stalker got into your dream...
provoked you to murder and then framed you.
Am I getting close?
Interesting theory.
Are you wanna help me catch him?
Or you wanna gamble on Zo'or
sense of justice.
I didn't get any names.
I drop the payment at some...
Tec-market at Second and Central.
Major...
I'd...
I'd be appreciative of anything you could do.
Anyone home?
I was unable to identify you
from our earlier conversation.
You modify your transmission harmonics.
Yeah, just like you did.
So lets get down on business
can you supply me with the dream reg.
My contact has temporarily
ceased the production.
And about an amplifier
for an FR 100.
For what purpose?
Come on, we both know why I'm asking
there's only one thing that you use for it.
I sold my last one.
I'll be ready to pay you
for the name of you buyer.
Don't move!
Hook her and get her out of here.
Let me go pig!
You can do this I have rights.
Where's the search ward.
Volunteers Investigations has field discretion
when it comes to search and caesura.
I don't need a search ward.
I don't need to hear anymore from you.
Fascist.
This guy is only follow the rules...
I'd do what he says Miss Jakes.
You better be right about this Major.
Detective!
Over here.
Exhibit A.
Dream surfing technology.
Exhibit B.
Biochemical samples from the dreamers...
and exhibit C energy drivers
along with the murder weapon.
A serial killer.
Good instincts Major.
I owe you one.
Let's call that even.
Well, I have a report to finish,
until a magistrate court has the sign off.
I say you friends will be free by morning.
Janice Jakes was the dream stalker.
Yes she was holding hard on you after all.
She must have got the biochemical sample
from the coffee cup I used.
But how did you tie her with the other killers?
Bootleg component for the energy knife
came from a techmarket on second and central.
I check the place out, they told me Janice
is the best customer.
Something wrong?
It's just...
I know I'd check Janice off once or twice
but...
I really never thought she was violent.
You're tired Renée.
Go home and all make more sense
after you get some sleep.
Maybe.
Thanks.
Hey hot stuff...
any new dreams with me?
No...
but I have an address
I need you to check for me.
Miss Palmer.
Speed?
What are you doing here?
I... I buy my supplies here,
I'm surprise to see you here.
So, you know who runs this place?
I'm never met him face to face, why?
Well, I think Janice may be had been framed.
All I need is a little biochemical evidence and
I've a name.
Let's start up...
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Do you find out who owns the techmarket?
There were like fifty demicorporations,
and trusts nested and protected within
firewalls but we blasted through...
- and guess what we've found.
- This isn't Janice this is Speed.
But Speed can't own that place,
is just a fringer.
- He is a fringer with *Mondogreen*, man.
- There's more:
We just met the guy who manufactures
the battery amplifiers and he just got an order
for five more amps from the same customer.
Janice Jakes is in jail,
so she sure wasn't able to place the order.
Which mean Speed framed Janice.
If I know Renée...
- she's out there looking for him.
- I can track her global.
She's downtown nearest intersection is
Second and Central.
The techmarket. Call the police.
I've been dreaming about you a lot lately.
Look...
Speed I can help you.
You wanted to kill Ken Matthews didn't you?
I didn't do it.
You think you're above all, don't you.
I knew it the first time I walked in your office
you won't even paying attention to me.
I know you think my ideas are useless.
You'll get all the answers.
No, no, I said your ideas had potential.
I've got news for you.
You're no better than the rest of us.
We all have the same primal instincts.
You hate...
you fear...
you kill.
Speed...
- put the knife down.
- No.
You can't play God this time Miss Palmer.
It's my turn.
Renée!
I'm here!
Freeze!
Renée...
Hang on.
Thanks to taelon biomemocry,
we've been able to treat her physical injuries.
What about the coma.
The human brain is still a mystery.
Physiologically there is nothing wrong.
She could regain consciousness
in five days...
or five years...
- or...
- Or never.
It's a possibility.
Look what you've done to me.
No.
No, it's not my fault.
- Coward.
- Please, leave me alone.
****.
- I didn't do anything to you.
It was Speed.
- Surprised to see me?
- Get away from me.
You know I can't do that.
You've spoiled all my thoughts.
- What is this measure?
- Brain level activity.
It's not uncommon
for comatose patients to dream.
What is uncommon is her elevated
adrenalin level.
I can't explain it.
I think I can.
Street...
I'm picking up a transmition,
it's a bio-frequency directed at this room.
Jam it.
- I can't.
- Her heart rate's becoming irregular.
I need 20cc of hysoproboline STAT.
- Is it true if you dying in your dream you die for real?
- I don't want to find out.
- Didn't you say the dream reg only
has a range of 25 yards?
- That's right.
- Is this the top floor?
- Yes.
It's no use Renée,
you can't get away from me.
Liam!
- Make him stop.
- Take it easy.
- Don't you understand, he's gonna kill me.
- It will be easier if you don't fight him.
You're not Liam... you're not Liam.
It's time to die, Renée.
Code blue.
Tie lock the power.
Three hundred.
Clear!
Bag her.
Clear!
Clear!
Give me 350.
Stand by sodium by intravenous.
We've stabilized her.
- Ho, ho.
- Blue LG...
for my guests.
House specialty.
- You shouldn't have.
- Don't knock it until you've tried it
So let me get this straight.
Speed was getting you back
because you turn down one of his projects?
Obviously he couldn't hand no rejection.
He thought anyone who turn him down
was arrogant and smug,
and needed to be taught a lesson.
- What about Sandoval?
- The same thing.
Couple days after he met with Renée...
Sandoval interviewed him for tech job
on the mothership and turned him down.
Speed was consumed with rage.
He thought by getting us
to give in to our rage,
prove that we're not better than he was.
Speed may be gone,
but the genius is out of the bottle.
Meaning?
Well, we can regulate technology, but,
we can't police what people are gonna do with it.
And humans perverted it this time...
not the Taelons.
May be a human will use the next way
of the technology to cure brain decease.
- Treat coma patients.
- Oh, really optimist.
What's wrong with that?
Yeah, what's wrong with that.
To human ingenuity.
Drink up ladies.
I managed to obtain the latest model.
Far more advanced than we'd hopped.
Imagine that.

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
on the people's memories.
Eavesdropping on their most
painful most personal experiences.
You can't just share 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 a quick cover and datas record, and it's all...
right here.
Renee Palmer...
show me your fears
(- You're a fri....)
(- You're a fri....)
(- YOU'RE A FRIED....)
- We don't like...
Just leave me alone!
- ... You don't belong...
- ... don't belong...
Just stop it.
(- You're a fri....)
(- You're a fri....)
Stop! You driving me crazy.
Sorry Crash we only are people who tempt.
Your friend on the other hand.
- Your friend Amp has what it takes.
- Unlike you.
No no, Amp and I was supposed to be partners.
I mean, he stole my ideas.
- He says you lying.
- Liar!
Face it punk, you don't have what he takes.
Which makes you the biggest looser
on the planet.
The woman just tell what really happened.
Looser.
- Sound like I'm gonna kill you
"- Is that what you want Crash?"
He stole from me, that was... my work.
That was my ideas.
- Come on man, I thought we were friends.
- What a friend's for a looser!
Loser
(He deserves to die.)
(Now you're mine.)
Oh God.
What's happening to me?
They have come to Earth
with a promise of peace
an alien race...
called the Tealons.
But there are those who resist theses...
alien Companions...
And the Taelon's true mission ...
the secrets they hide...
will for ever altered our world.

Season 4 - Episode 10
"DREAM STALKER"
- Are you sure this is legal?
- It's totally legit.
When it comes to the IRS
I'm your go to scientist.
Give me a momentito
to crunch some numbers here.
Oh, look...
- the government owes you eight thousand dollars.
- Oh, that can't be right.
You're a Companion Protector,
you get a triple deduction for every kilometer.
How do you come out
with twelve million kilometers?
It's a long way to the mother ship!
- I'm not gonna cheat on my taxes.
- Every penny of this are deductible.
If you don't believe me,
you can hire some staff chief accountant.
They'll find the same thing.
Eight thousand dollars.
The least I can do, is buy you lunch.
You can have to do better than that.
Well... what 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're sure I can't buy you lunch instead?
It's just crap.
All it says is you 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 we just sign?
At least you're honest!
About that field test, I'd like to start...
Come in.
Promise you won't throw anything at me?
Your assistant remember me,
he 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 get away right now.
I knew you will gonna say that.
So I brought this.
You got to eat some time.
Something tells me we work together
before Detective Nepps.
Could be.
Volunteer Investigations Unit
recruted from me the FBI.
So how do you like your new job?
Pay is better, so the benefits, 00T,
bonus for closing a case.
Nice bucks.
And under the Companion protector decree.
Their are no more handle rights
no supreme court to worry about.
I see, your hands had been pretty much untied.
Org. crime against the Taelons
is becoming more sophisticated.
We're copping.
How does this particular case
fall 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 an evidence?
- It's already been through forensics.
Well, a knife with an energy blade.
That there's a perverted application of technology.
It gets better.
One for stabbing,
one for slashing.
Well, it's a weapon of choice
in a 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's make you so sure?
- The Sniffer.
I have seen it, it collects chemical residue.
This puppy not only collects it and analyses it
and almost instantaneously identify 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 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 about one of my cases?
I have a friend who thinks the kid
you holding is innocent.
Well, tell your friend that the suspect
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
instead of no man.
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
a little cooperation for a change.
I notice that Doors international has
some pretty interest in venture capital projects.
- As does Matthew's investments.
- But you beat me with Janice Jakes.
I win some you loose some.
Could she really deliver the lucid dreaming
hardware we've once been talking about?
It's memory signs taking to the next level.
How so?
Well, the memory device, the MNEME technologie
allows you to relive your own memories.
Janice's 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 diner with me tomorrow night.
Look Ken, we try
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 Miss 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
whenever one wants.
- You said, you're not interested to make it for money.
- Oh wait man...
you didn't know those Amp.
Amp was way under the green.
We... we were writing codes
for this... this...
project we were working on.
This major Company was interested in buying it.
- You said "No" Amp said "Yes".
- No, worse.
He told them
that he wrote the code by himself.
OK. I've never told anybody about
this before and...
the night before it happened
I had this dream.
Ok..
it's way too weird, and..
I... I was hearing these voices,
Ok and this voice...
OK, 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.
OK, what I'm saying, is that somebody...
somebody invaded my dream, OK.
Whoever it was, they kill Amp,
and then they planted evidences to frame me.
Wait a second. You try to tell me,
that you and your buddies...
can actually invade someone else's dreams.
- I can't, ok?
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 he did inside my dream.
The energy knife, everything was the same.
Why would somebody do that?
In some demented way I feel like...
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.
I hear, I hear the voice...
and... he keeps telling me,
that I take him so high,
I'm no better than he is.
And you know, I was too chicken to kill Amp,
so they had to do it for me.
This voice is telling me, OK.
That I'm the guilty one, not him.
That I deserve everything
that is happening to me.
And now I just...
I...
I'm afraid to go to sleep at night.
It's getting late,
we should be heading back.
A race 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 Renée.)
(I was open to get to know you better.)
Look, I know it 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.
Crash says the guy is a grudge.
He told Crash he got what he deserved.
Come on, the only thing the dream headset does,
is that let you control your own dreams,
not invade some one else's.
But it's possible.
If dream survey existed
I'd not already know about it, I'd own it.
Doors has a contract with Janice Jakes,
she's like the Queen of dream.
Hello, Janice is a major has-been.
She has to be at least thirty.
That's not a crime you know.
Speaking of dream,
I have kind of a strange one myself last night.
Any details you'd like to share?
No. Anyway it wasn't violent.
Look I'll ask Janice if she's been holding on to me
but I really think it's a waste of time.
Maybe Da'an knows something about this.
I doubt it.
Even if they got the technology
the Tealons don't have the imagination
to come up with anything is created
this dream surfing.
They were imaginative enough to use
MNEME technology to steal our memories.
Like you so far.
And you believe...
we possess this dream technology.
The thought cross my mind.
Such an invasion would be a serious
violation of privacy.
That hasn't stopped Zo'or before.
Also I'm reasonably positive that the Taelons
have no knowledge of this matter.
I shall make inquiries
just to be certain.
I appreciate it.
I continue to be impressed
with humanity's ingenuity,
in applying the technology which the Taelons
have so generously bestowed upon them.
We call it imagination.
It is sadness that such imagination
so often has negative consequences.
I like to think of the good aspect of that.
Most of the time.
Let us hope you are right.
Bring me this pirated technology at once.
Anticipating your request...
I already have agents in the field
working undercover.
Then instruct them to work harder.
This dream device,
has many interesting possibilities.
You know Janice...
Doors international would be very interrested
in licensing your plasma circuitry.
Not everything has a price.
- It does where I come from.
- Oh yeah, what's yours.
No, you couldn't afford me, but,
try to guess.
I love when the play hard to get.
Now listen...
I think you hear these rumors someone selling
dream surfing technology
on the black market these days.
It's not me.
Speed, where is that java?
I finish the code on the interface.
Hey, have we met?
Yeah, I am surprised that you remember,
you must meet hundreds of people.
Oh thanks. Yeah of course I remember,
you came up to my office.
You were working on an enviro-shield.
It does still have a few glitches if I recall.
Well, I've managed to resolve,
most of them.
Anyway as of three weeks ago
I work for Janice.
Well, good luck with the project,
it has potential.
Thanks..., I guess I should...
- get back to the interface, yeah?
- The interface can wait.
Tell him what you heard
about that new dream tech.
Yeah, it lets the user
enters someone else's dream.
Sure, sounds possible.
- which will mean our project is already obsolete.
- Don't you own to keep your mouth shut?
What!
You always say
that anything's possible.
Possible!
Miss Palmer have a stay, you're welcome.
Look I was only asking a question,
I didn't mean to offend you.
Well, you did! Now go.
Alright, alright.
Just make sure we're still on target
for that production dead line...
Bla, bla, bla.
She always has this temperament?
Only when she's being creative.
I've one hell of a creative afternoon.
Take a look at this.
What am I looking at?
The first generation dream surfing reg.
I got it from a friend of a friend.
It sends and receives bio-frequencies,
but only within a twenty yards radius.
- If it works.
- Oh, it works.
I tested it!
This is bootleg technology Street,
won't you just a little worried
about frying your brain?
No pain, no gain.
Tell me what you dreamed about last night.
- I don't remember my dreams.
- Sure you do!
You were sitting...
on this beautiful beach, all alone...
and there was this woman...
swimming towards the shore.
How do you know that?
She got out of the water...
and started towards you,
and she was the most perfect creature you've ever seen...
until I showed up and turned her into a seal.
I can't believe this.
- Oh, she really wasn't your type anyway.
- You put yourself in my dream?
I told you Crash was innocent.
Maybe.
But we know the technology exists.
It still doesn't explain how
the biochemical signature got on the knife.
That's your department fly boy.
Detective Nepps said there were three other murderers
with the same memories as Crash.
Meaning?
Meaning if there is a serial killer
stalking people's dreams...
I bet he paid them a visit as well.
Open the case.
The amount we agreed on.
Your merchandise.
Sweet dreams agent Sandoval.
So...
Jonathan Doors got sons
that could pretty much running the company.
Well, they're at the board of directors but...
Thank you.
...the most part I do what I want.
We must partner of that Janice Jake's diddle.
We've always make a terrific team.
Ken I told you, Doors isn't interested
in co-venturing on this one.
You know...
I bet I can change your mind by breakfast.
Is that what all this is about?
A business proposition.
Oh, what if it is?
The biggest turnover
are always turning to profit.
May be I should call a cab.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
You see, I did a little homework
after we've broke up.
Something just didn't make sense, so,
I hired a professional to do some checking.
You had me watched.
In fact I did.
I match dates,
places, times you were missing,...
times you ran an unexpected business trip,
and I came up with a very interesting theory.
It seems possible that my girlfriend
could have been working for the resistance.
You know what?
I don't have time for this.
Amnesty or not Renée...
a past with the resistance
will cost you your career.
How dare you try to blackmail me.
Say me we have a deal.
I can't believe I was ever in love with you.
Love... you were never more
than a good time on a saturday night.
Call me in the morning Sweet.
I have my lawyers dropped the papers.
Go to hell.
I know your secrets Renée,
all of them.
You can't run away,
there's nowhere to hide.
I never loved you Renée.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
I used you.
- I used you.
- Stop it.
(You could make it stop Renée.)
(You know what to do.)
- She's resistant... she's resistant.
- STOP IT.
She's a resistant.
I said...
- Stop it.
(- Do it.)
(It's what you really want, isn't it?)
(Give into it Renée.)
(- That's it!)
(Give into it.)
(- He deserves to die.)
You've reach Ken Matthews
leave message and I call you back.
Hi Miss Palmer, What's up?
I was trying to reach Janice,
is she around?
Joining the club...
No she said she's gonna pop up on later,
you want me to leave her a message for you?
Oh no, that's alright.
I was just checking in, thanks
Miss Palmer.
Yes?
I was wondering if I could have
a couple minutes of your time?
And you're?
Detective Sam Nepps,
Volunteer Investigations.
We met at the fun resort last week.
What can I do for you detective?
Well if you don't mind my asking...
Who were you with last night?
I was having dinner
with a business associate.
His name is Ken Matthews.
When was the last time
you spoke to mister Matthews?
Last night.
I try... I try calling him this morning
but no-one answer.
That's because he's in the morgue.
Renée Palmer...
I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder of Kenneth Matthews.
I asked for a lawyer three hours ago.
This is Volunteer investigations.
You don't get a lawyer.
Nepps let me see you as a favor.
I sure probably wanted him dead.
But you didn't kill him,
I talk to the other suspects...
all of them heard the dream stalker's voice.
The evidence they found on that knife
is not a dream.
The killer planted it.
And how did he get my biochemical signature?
You came into contact with him at some point.
So did the other suspects.
I come into contact with hundreds of people,
and that's before lunch.
Edwin has the list.
Did the stalker say anything
that would help to identify him?
Well, he's a violence junkie that's for sure.
He told me...
I belong to him now.
That I'll get what I deserve.
Sound's like a grudge.
Just like Crash.
Nepps always seems to be in the right place
at the right time.
He is a cop, his job is to be in the right place
at the right time.
He claims...
we met at the fun resort a week ago.
****.
My guess is he's watching us right now.
I'll check him out.
Did Janice Jakes give you anything?
No, she was not aware, so.
Well, the Taelon said they don't either.
Someone is lying.
Why have you come?
I have something you need.
You have tortured me
for the last time agent Sandoval.
I shall expose you for the monster
you really are.
You expose me...
then the synod would know
you're a kriss habit.
When Zo'or learns
that you have aided the Jaridians...
you will be executed.
I won't let you do this to me.
You have betrayed the Tealons.
You have betrayed humanity.
You...
will be punished!
(Give into it.)
(He deserves to die.)
(Now you're mine.)
Ho!
Well, at least we know that all the people
who were framed are connected to dream technology.
I knew that twelve hours ago.
OK, you win.
We've been up all night we've got squad.
Does it make feel you better?
Oh better than this stuff,
what do you put in here?
Soil milk instead of cream,
and stavia instead of sugar.
- It's healthy.
- Now it's plant food.
Did you come out any specs on the energy knife?
Just so happens I did.
Hacked into the Volunteers evidence bank.
It's an FR 100.
Military issue.
It used power everything
from weapons to toaster ovens.
Not this one. It's been adapted
with a bootleg amplifier.
The whole thing looks like
it's built from spare parts.
This is home made as apple pie.
So if we find out who's been buying bootleg amplifiers,
we may find the killer.
A strange page from Da'an.
Da'an?
I am here Major.
Da'an what happen?
There is no cause for alarm.
I am quiet well.
Although I will require a new exo-covering.
Who did this to you?
I was in an energy shower at the time,
so I did not see my assailant.
Security didn't catch him?
He was able to override
top level security protocols and thus evaded the guards.
Fortunately...
we have recovered his weapon.
- An energy knife.
Which mean you have an ID.?
Apparently...
my attacker...
was Ronald Sandoval.
You are most fortunate
that Da'an survive your brutal attack.
Or you will already be dead.
I'm innocent Zo'or.
I have no reason to hurt Da'an,
or any Taelon.
You are the only human intrusted
with level 5 security protocols.
He's telling you the truth Zo'or.
Your loyalty to your species
is commendable Major Kincaid.
But a Taelon has been brutally attacked.
The perpetrator must be punished.
Agent Sandoval isn't the perpetrator.
We recovered a weapon
with agent Sandoval's biochemical signature.
His security codes were used to access
the embassy and confound the guards.
We're dealing with a technical genius.
The attacker captured Sandoval's codes
by hacking into the embassy mainframe.
Ridiculous!
Our system is impenetrable.
I just spoke to Volunteer Investigations,
they confirm the system was breached.
Bring me this intruder...
and I will reconsider the case
against agent Sandoval.
Until then...
he will remain in detention.
A human will pay for this crime.
I need your connection
to bandit dream technology.
I don't know what you're talking about.
A stalker got into your dream...
provoked you to murder and then framed you.
Am I getting close?
Interesting theory.
Are you wanna help me catch him?
Or you wanna gamble on Zo'or
sense of justice.
I didn't get any names.
I drop the payment at some...
Tec-market at Second and Central.
Major...
I'd...
I'd be appreciative of anything you could do.
Anyone home?
I was unable to identify you
from our earlier conversation.
You modify your transmission harmonics.
Yeah, just like you did.
So lets get down on business
can you supply me with the dream reg.
My contact has temporarily
ceased the production.
And about an amplifier
for an FR 100.
For what purpose?
Come on, we both know why I'm asking
there's only one thing that you use for it.
I sold my last one.
I'll be ready to pay you
for the name of you buyer.
Don't move!
Hook her and get her out of here.
Let me go pig!
You can do this I have rights.
Where's the search ward.
Volunteers Investigations has field discretion
when it comes to search and caesura.
I don't need a search ward.
I don't need to hear anymore from you.
Fascist.
This guy is only follow the rules...
I'd do what he says Miss Jakes.
You better be right about this Major.
Detective!
Over here.
Exhibit A.
Dream surfing technology.
Exhibit B.
Biochemical samples from the dreamers...
and exhibit C energy drivers
along with the murder weapon.
A serial killer.
Good instincts Major.
I owe you one.
Let's call that even.
Well, I have a report to finish,
until a magistrate court has the sign off.
I say you friends will be free by morning.
Janice Jakes was the dream stalker.
Yes she was holding hard on you after all.
She must have got the biochemical sample
from the coffee cup I used.
But how did you tie her with the other killers?
Bootleg component for the energy knife
came from a techmarket on second and central.
I check the place out, they told me Janice
is the best customer.
Something wrong?
It's just...
I know I'd check Janice off once or twice
but...
I really never thought she was violent.
You're tired Renée.
Go home and all make more sense
after you get some sleep.
Maybe.
Thanks.
Hey hot stuff...
any new dreams with me?
No...
but I have an address
I need you to check for me.
Miss Palmer.
Speed?
What are you doing here?
I... I buy my supplies here,
I'm surprise to see you here.
So, you know who runs this place?
I'm never met him face to face, why?
Well, I think Janice may be had been framed.
All I need is a little biochemical evidence and
I've a name.
Let's start up...
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Do you find out who owns the techmarket?
There were like fifty demicorporations,
and trusts nested and protected within
firewalls but we blasted through...
- and guess what we've found.
- This isn't Janice this is Speed.
But Speed can't own that place,
is just a fringer.
- He is a fringer with *Mondogreen*, man.
- There's more:
We just met the guy who manufactures
the battery amplifiers and he just got an order
for five more amps from the same customer.
Janice Jakes is in jail,
so she sure wasn't able to place the order.
Which mean Speed framed Janice.
If I know Renée...
- she's out there looking for him.
- I can track her global.
She's downtown nearest intersection is
Second and Central.
The techmarket. Call the police.
I've been dreaming about you a lot lately.
Look...
Speed I can help you.
You wanted to kill Ken Matthews didn't you?
I didn't do it.
You think you're above all, don't you.
I knew it the first time I walked in your office
you won't even paying attention to me.
I know you think my ideas are useless.
You'll get all the answers.
No, no, I said your ideas had potential.
I've got news for you.
You're no better than the rest of us.
We all have the same primal instincts.
You hate...
you fear...
you kill.
Speed...
- put the knife down.
- No.
You can't play God this time Miss Palmer.
It's my turn.
Renée!
I'm here!
Freeze!
Renée...
Hang on.
Thanks to taelon biomemocry,
we've been able to treat her physical injuries.
What about the coma.
The human brain is still a mystery.
Physiologically there is nothing wrong.
She could regain consciousness
in five days...
or five years...
- or...
- Or never.
It's a possibility.
Look what you've done to me.
No.
No, it's not my fault.
- Coward.
- Please, leave me alone.
****.
- I didn't do anything to you.
It was Speed.
- Surprised to see me?
- Get away from me.
You know I can't do that.
You've spoiled all my thoughts.
- What is this measure?
- Brain level activity.
It's not uncommon
for comatose patients to dream.
What is uncommon is her elevated
adrenalin level.
I can't explain it.
I think I can.
Street...
I'm picking up a transmition,
it's a bio-frequency directed at this room.
Jam it.
- I can't.
- Her heart rate's becoming irregular.
I need 20cc of hysoproboline STAT.
- Is it true if you dying in your dream you die for real?
- I don't want to find out.
- Didn't you say the dream reg only
has a range of 25 yards?
- That's right.
- Is this the top floor?
- Yes.
It's no use Renée,
you can't get away from me.
Liam!
- Make him stop.
- Take it easy.
- Don't you understand, he's gonna kill me.
- It will be easier if you don't fight him.
You're not Liam... you're not Liam.
It's time to die, Renée.
Code blue.
Tie lock the power.
Three hundred.
Clear!
Bag her.
Clear!
Clear!
Give me 350.
Stand by sodium by intravenous.
We've stabilized her.
- Ho, ho.
- Blue LG...
for my guests.
House specialty.
- You shouldn't have.
- Don't knock it until you've tried it
So let me get this straight.
Speed was getting you back
because you turn down one of his projects?
Obviously he couldn't hand no rejection.
He thought anyone who turn him down
was arrogant and smug,
and needed to be taught a lesson.
- What about Sandoval?
- The same thing.
Couple days after he met with Renée...
Sandoval interviewed him for tech job
on the mothership and turned him down.
Speed was consumed with rage.
He thought by getting us
to give in to our rage,
prove that we're not better than he was.
Speed may be gone,
but the genius is out of the bottle.
Meaning?
Well, we can regulate technology, but,
we can't police what people are gonna do with it.
And humans perverted it this time...
not the Taelons.
May be a human will use the next way
of the technology to cure brain decease.
- Treat coma patients.
- Oh, really optimist.
What's wrong with that?
Yeah, what's wrong with that.
To human ingenuity.
Drink up ladies.
I managed to obtain the latest model.
Far more advanced than we'd hopped.
Imagine that.
