Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth
Final Conflict

Zo'or, the ship's going to explode.

What are you doing?

Exiting the problem.

The mothership being an organically
engineered life form,

is designed to regenerate itself.

This is our stasis wing.

Those who have reachrd the critical
threshold are placed here.

- So you're rationing core energy. -
Yes. We are dying.

I have four children aboard the
mothership.

Barely living in embryonic tubes.



- I fear I shall never see them again.
- to loose your family is...

unimaginable.

Thanks you for listening Renée.

Navigation is unable to correct the
interface problem with the ID drives.

The mothership is still lock on a low
grade descent.

"Shabra!"

I will deal with navigation.

You will initiate an override on all
power grids.

Renée you're still here?

Yes, still waiting for meeting with
Zo'or.

So in the mean time I thought: Why not
pratice a little industrial espionage.

It's not a good idea, Things are little
tensed around here right now.

Technical difficulties what not and you
my friend...

I've nearly wanna you welcome. - *****



Ancient boss Joshua Doors destroy the
critical mass of Taelon core energy.

- Since we're gotta to buy your A. N.
A. affiliations. - Touchy bunch, aren't
they?

Why does it persistant defying us?

Perhaps because "we" persiste in
defying her.

Renée?

All navigational, and power source are
completly shut down.

We're under earth captation ***.

Revert to conventional drives.

Transfer not acknowledge.

There's a "full time" static ***.

Blocking data chanels.

I get a medical here.

Switch all system to manual control.

Zo'or...

we're entering earth atmosphere.

We're in free fall.

Renée?

Manual control is not responding.

I am well aware abou our status. Leave
me.

Impact with earth in less than 11
seconds.

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 altered our world

Enjoy!

The fate of humanity now relies...

on those who dare challenge the
future...

of Earth.

Team Trad. EFC - Team BST www.
seriestele. net - www. nwstv. fr

Reverse thrusters are activated.

We're leveling at.

All systems are back on line.

We're now climbing at . 27

*** speed.

Back to stationary orbit coordinates.

Then we has retain the cause of the
systems failure?

No not yet.

- I believe it's something internal. -
In a word: sabotage.

Quarantine the ship and shut down the
portals.

No human leaves here until I have a
satisfactory answer.

Hey!

Welcome back.

What happened?

- Where am I? - Easy.

The Mothership has major turbulency.
You took a nasty peal.

Probably got a concussion.

Just keep your eyes closed all right?

I'm fine, I'm just... I'm just very
cold.

Why do I am so cold... cold

Renée, hanging on, Doctor's here right?

She's bleeding internaly , going into
shock.

She must sustain a *** trauma injury.

You'll be find Renée, you hear me?
You'll be fine.

She's critical.

You're concern for Miss Palmer is very
touching Major.

Your interrogations will just have to
wait.

- I'm only doing my duty. - That's half
your problem, you're the ***

you enjoy it.

All Companion protectors please
report to main quarters immediatly.

Duty calls Major.

Notify me when she regains
consciousness.

"Umbena"

To loyalty!

You have a problem Kincaid?

No problem, I'm just not drinking.

Not an option.

We talking taelon Tequila here.

Tradition.

Whenever our loyalty comes into
question.

Drink up. Zo'or's waiting for my
assessment.

You can't get drunk if your CVI are
functioning right?

At while lieutenant Mali drowned up
this ritual for year.

What's your point Major?

Ritual's outdated.

You know your CVIs are failing.

**** artificial mine set...

he need your own integrity.

Doesn't it true loyalty spring from
free choice?

It does for me.

Well aren't you one smart smug son of a
bitch?

I guess you feel you can shut your
mouth off because you never had
undergoing implant.

Da'an hided you.

So now you're to good to drink with us,
is that is?

- You're taking this way too personnaly
Lt. - You bet your stripes I am.

I will not let you denigrate the memory
of protectors like Mali.

Six mounth ago when Mali was still
alive...

he'd kick your but from here to the
bridge.

But I guess he's left that pleasure to
me.

Is that your or the Tequila talking Lt?

Me.

Anyboby else here want to question my
loyalty?

Help me!

No!

Somebody help me.

- Help me. - Renee.

Liam.

- I'm enlace - Hold on. Don't let go.

Don't let go.

No!

Renee!

Renee!

From what you had describe, it would
appear that Miss Palmer...

was transported by a magnetic energy
aberration.

Ok! Where whould this magnetic energy
aberration take her?

That, I cannot tell you.

Then give me the *** of the ****.

The blueprints.

The mothersip must be following some
pre-programed instructions. Tell me
what they are.

The mothership is in a perpetual state
of evolution.

She has been programed for think for
herself.

But only within the program that will
serve the mission protocol.

The mission protocol?

As you have stated, we are wasting
time.

This will help access any tissues seam
within the ship.

Coupled with the use of a DNA scanner,
you should be able to locate Miss
Palmer.

Relax.

You've got an internal bleeder.

And tensing up won't do it any good.

A little Taelon core energy absorption
now should do the trick.

Work wonders for me.

I use that burn over 75% of my body...

I wasn't smoked, ...

I was broken one apart

ready to be shuttle in a bodybag into
the mother.

I'm sorry, I'm...

I'm yammering.

I haven't had a decent compagny for a
while.

Who are you ?

A compagnion protector Miss Palmer.

Reassigned to serve a majesty.

I... I don't understand.

The mothership.

She chose me...

as I've chosen you.

The hell you have, you have no right to
keep me here. Release me.

I can't.

- Why not ? - Because...

because I need you.

There are shadow forces at work within
the synod Miss Palmer.

The mothership knows this.

Then she had chosen me...

as her protector...

her gardian, her emissary...

to *** the Taelons back on their proper
course.

- You, chose... a human. - Yes me, a
human being.

Resconstitued in a *** of a Taelon but
never the less, a human being.

Who can't go alone anymore...

hiding out of these walls...

under the skin.

Avoid of any human bonder, connection,
I can...

I need you Miss Palmer.

For sanity sake.

Is that simple?

Alright.

But first...

I need you to do something for me.

Renee?!

I'm here.

Got your signal.

- Where are you ? - She's safe.

She wanted you to know that.

Who are you?

Have the guts to show yourself.

First the weapon.

On the table.

You wore such a pain Major.

Malley, Lieutenant Malley!

It's impossible, the shuttle bombing.

I was there, you're dead.

Negative Kincaid.

My *** has been removed.

And I'm still on act of duty.

I've just been reassigned.

I knew I was a dead man...

as soon as I heave that bomb clear of
the *** shuttle.

Anyway...

Portal my *** back to the main deck...

as the mother to go.

Then she...

... project back together ***. -
Mother?

You mean the mothership.

Hey Jack, your funeral.

Much appreciated it.

I especialy like that 21 gun salute.

You see that ****, That wasn't mine. No
Sir.

I was a holographic ruse...

for my remains scelling off into the
sunset.

- I can't believe this. - Neither could
I.

You know what save me Kincaid?

My implant, a damn CVI.

The relay frequency is encrypted in
Taelon, right?

Well so my mind got alter during the
blast. And the mother ship,

she think she save one of her own.

Also now she thinks you're a Taelon.

No I guess better...

like I'm real or not too.

Her wants...

her needs...

her operation protocols...

her distress signals.

We've bonding Major.

Yeah, she allows you to engage in what?

Kidnapping.

I told you that woman is safe damn it!

Sabotage too.

I was in operation on meltdown this
morning.

It's part of an on-going campaign...

to rid the synod of any bad apples.

Beginning with Zo'or.

Why you're staging a coup?

No, mother is.

The taelon sole purpose was to come
here for peace.

To engage a mutualy beneficial
relationship for humanity.

That was the mothership was for. That
was his prime mission

But now, ...

it's spends crapped.

Because of a cowardly few.

What has even this have to do with
Renée Palmer?

She needs help.

You can't give it to her.

I can.

I know you care about her, ...

but she will be well looked after.

- I assure you that. - Well, if she
doesn't be?

Good night Kincaid.

Wait! Let me see her first, I got to
know if she's safe. Please!

Liam!

- Renee, you're ok? - Yes.

- Sure? - Yes I'm fine now. I just...

Renee!

Liam!

Liam!

You didn't have to be this way.

This is earlier, Major Kincaid
meets with this phantom suspect...

suspected of kidnapping Miss Palmer.

The audio scrambled but a retinal scan
identify him as Lt Jack Malley, a
former Companion protector.

- Former? - Yes.

Killed in the line of duty.

You may recall the bombing attemps
severals month ago on a taelon embassy?

Lieutenant Malley was General Taffence
protector.

Of course.

And now Miss Palmer is his hostage.

Not a very wise choise on his part.

Unless she is a willing one.

Mobilize surch for this phantom
Companion protector.

This is not a very pleasant
assignment...

but there's a traitor...

a saboteur...

a phantom protector hiding within the
walls of the mothership.

Renee Palmer an other suspect as
saboteur is with him.

We believe...

...it is Lt Jack Malley. - Malley is
dead Sandoval.

I was there that day at the embassy. I
saw him blown clear across the room.

We have evidence to the contrary
Roberts.

He is alive despite his wounds and we
believe he is being aided in a campaign
of subversion.

May the fall of protector.

So...

it is time...

for another test of loyalty.

I believe we start with you Major.

You're right Major.

I do enjoy my job.

I'm curious.

Is there any part of you that's still
even vaguely human.

I trust you had a positive sleep.

These walls have eyes.

They don't have ears Miss Palmer...

Son of a...

My mother, got rest your soul...

but resent that remark.

Are you alright?

Yeah, ...

sure, ...

I was enjoyed that little shock therapy
in the afternoon.

It's like they coming for you Lt.

It's more thanks to you.

I was a ghost...

an enigma...

until I was foolished enough to honor
your request.

Come on.

If you really think you could hide
inside these walls for ever you already
gone over the edge.

Show respect!

I've saved you for death.

And at least you could do...

a *** *** gratitude...

for one moment, ...

and try to see the big picture.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

But sometimes, ...

I think you'd give me up in our pit.

Would you?

I'm trying to do the right thing here
Miss Palmer.

Give the opportunity.

Your friend, major Kincaid he
understands that.

Otherwise he would have briefed
Sandoval inform by now.

What are you talking about?

Oh God.

He's strong.

He may make it trough the first
session.

Maybe the second.

You call yourself a human!

How can't you just sit there and watch?

Turn the power off.

Oh.

Well, I see

You need me now.

Please, anything you want.

Anything I want.

What I want...

is for you to stay here with me.

Alright.

Right I will stay with you.

Now shut it down.

I need to focus, would you monitor the
** searching ** please.

Yeah, just hurry.

Yes, the first I... I have to flash at
the nanobots...

that Sandoval has injected in him.

He's use make a little bit. That a
small price to pay.

Done.

Power's off.

End of interrogation.

What?

Sir! Sensors have been actived in a
subobs deck we may have located our
fugitives.

I'm on my way.

We'll continue it Major.

Secure the deck.

Browse for any energy aberration in the
walls, ceilings even the floors. If you
see either suspect...

shoot to kill.

It's your choise Renee.

As you can see I'm... still the little
*cool pedant* mother.

I'm sorry.

Why do you come back?

Not that I have any illusions.

To save myself, yes.

But also...

try to understand what...

what it is you think you can accomplish
here.

Would you *** my skin for a moment Miss
Palmer?

I was a Companion protector.

I swore to give my life to protect the
Taelons.

Though in retrospect I was after
protect an Evil.

And my reward for such a blind
loyalty...

a resurrection from the dead, and a new
assignment.

The keys to the mothership. Mine,

alone with a...

a terrible responsability.

You give me not have had a choice back
then but...

you do now.

You did no have a choice.

When guard *** the building heart.

Because... that is exactly what the
mothership is.

An organ tempting on rescuing a
species.

So I guess mother knows best.

You know...

despite what mother thinks...

I'm still a human being.

I know.

I'm more even now than ever was.

I am.

I mean...

despite by...

*** appearence.

I am not a monster.

I am not... a monster.

I see that now.

And it's Renée.

Jack.

Will you follow me?

Please.

Double up the patrols, seal off every
corridor above and below the obsdeck.

- Go. - Yes Sir.

Lt. Roberts, ...

what is this?

We don't torture or kill one of our own
agent Sandoval.

And we don't defy direct orders from
Zo'or.

We? What do you mean "We"?

Apparently you're the only protector
who's CVI still working on overkill.

- That's irrelevant, and this, is
treason. - No.

This is a crime against humanity.

Fine.

Take him, he's yours.

You'll explain to Zo'or.

- Thanks. - Save it...

I saw on a revenge.

Listen this gonna sound bizarre but
Sandoval was ******.

Lt Malley is alive.

What?

The mothership revived him.

Pulled him inside the walls.

He's doing her biding now, so he says.

Look, I don't what to make about that.

All I know is, he's holding a friend of
mine as hostage.

We need to find them before Zo'or does.

Suffer the litlle children...

to come onto me.

Never beat them not.

Actually...

children is a less ***

What you're looking at is the future...

of the taelons species.

They aren't born...

Taelons?

Taelons at the most fragile

It's ok.

We are protected here on this deck...

called the womb.

If there's any straight radiation it'll
destroy them.

I thought the Taelons were all barren.

It's half truth.

Some are still...

physicaly able to procreate, but...

psychologically they can't make that
happen.

The **** they would win immortality

They may as well be barren.

And these....

embryos?

Mother would love them to develop.

Pass their embryonic stage.

Mentaly Taelons console their core
energy crisis...

done with the...

the last Taelon barren.

So the mothership is programmed to
protect them.

As if they were her own.

Yes.

But even after wear enough core energy
to infuse them

she will still abstain...

thinks being what they are.

You mean with Zo'or leaving the synod.

Mission protocol didn't call for Taelon
domination Renée?

It called for Tealon human cooperation.

Implants, mind control, ...

genetic manipulation, ...

an army of human drones...

these were not on the agenda.

So why would mother want *** want to
interest such a world?

Why?

Jack, you are limiting Zo'or's options
this far, the operation of the
mothersips goes but...

you and the mothership need to do
something that would increase your
leverage.

Allow you to move in for the kill.

The old ways round.

No place like home?

- Hey, I'm picking up Renée's DNA. -
They were here.

Jack Malley Lieutenant indestructible.

He's completely flipped out, hasn't it?

That a call I'd rather not make right
now.

Is that an access shuttle on trough
there?

Yeah, I check it out.

At last we meet.

I do not believe we have properly
introduced.

Oh we have.

I pin the mellow *** once.

I'm Companion protector Lt John J.
Malley.

And I've come here to serve your exit
paper Zo'or.

Even found unfit to command.

You a human, dare to juge me.

No the mothership is judged you...

for your willful and continuing
degradation of the Taelon mission
protocol.

I think it's time you step down.

And, if I refuse?

The malfunctions will continue
throughout the ship.

Top to bottom right down to the womb.

And I'd certainly wouldn't *** you
within the synod, no would it?

Resign Zo'or.

And save yourself from the
embarrassments.

- Zo'or, we've completed the sweep...!!
- The saboteur, eliminate him.

All unit, suspect located in sub-bridge
access level. Respond.

- Renée, you're ok? - Yeah.

Hurry! Come with me.

- Where we go? - For a ride.

Taelons?

Unborn, stasis.

Amazing.

No, no, no, NO.

Jack?

It's an accident.

It was an accident.

I'd never kill a Taelon ever.

I'd just took it from the womb to get
Zo'or to back down.

NO!

You don't understand.

I just tried to set things right.
That's all I tried to do.

Jack, what's happening? - Mother don't!

Don't.

No.

Please.

I'm not your ennemy. I've not shot to
him mother.

Zo'or's doing.

Zo'or's doing out mind.

Zo'or!

Mothership turns against him.

Look out! Get down!

What's happening

I think the mothership is reading as
he's Taelon anymore.

Treating like a virus. - We have to
help him.

- No we can't. We got to get out of
here Renée. - No.

- We're on the line OF fire, come on! -
No I won't abandon him.

But you go. Tell to Henry to portal
Jack to earth base hospital. That's his
only chance.

Renée!

Mother ****

You know the king's ***

I don't wanna live through this.

It's ok, ... it's ok. I got you, it's
ok.

Renée...

it's too late. I'm dead already.

I've just been ***

I've just been home for a while.

- No - Enough for me...

Listen to me... listen to me.

Promise me...

Let...

you and Kincaid...

to save my CVI.

It's our only link to the mother.

Renée...

it's the only way you'll save us.

You can save all of us.

I promise.

Promised.

I beg you...

forgive me...

forgive me.

Why?

Why?

Malley wasn't a murderer Dan'an.

He was serving as the mothership's
protector.

He superseded his authority Liam.

No...

she gave it to him.

He was her sword...

her conscience.

The gardian of your primary mission
protocol whatever that is... or was.

I will admit that Lt Malley's communion
with the motership.

- Has given me pose for reflexions. -
Look, I'm tired of dancing with you.

I'm tired of the games...

denials, manipulations. I'm tired of
bearing people Da'an.

What's the big secret?

Why the hell did you come here?

And what the hell do you want from us?

We want you to save us Liam.

Three millennia ago my ancestors
realized their fate.

We needed to find a species with the
intellectual promise to solve our
energy dilemma.

We searched a thousand years.

And then one of our exploratory
vessels...

found Earth.

- Ma'el - Correct.

So we built the mothership and gave her
a primary mission...

to come here...

and preserve us once we all enter the
death stasis.

Preserve you for what?

For your evolution.

However long it takes.

She will enter Earth orbit...

and we will place our only hope for
survival with humanity...

trusting your boundless drive and
imagination...

will one day do what we cannot.

Prevent our entire species...

from passing into oblivion.

So it's why you need us...

to save your lives.

You've known for thousands of years.

Yes.

And still, you seek to dominate and
destroy us.

If only you had believed in us.

Then we would have compassion for you.
