Earth: Final Conflict s04e20 Episode Script
Epiphany
Previously on Gene Roddenberry's EARTH FINAL CONFLICT This amount of core energy would sustain a Taelon for years.
And what do you think, Zo'or would be willing to do to get it? I cannot become involved.
Zo'or is killing innocent people to feed his mad need for survival.
You gonna have to get involved! The time has come for you to fulfill the first step of your destiny, to end your by-species existence.
You must use your Shakara'va to expell the dark matter and heal the ship.
Am I capable of that? Do it, and you will become fully human.
We will reveal ourselves again when you are ready.
I am proud of you my son! Thank you all for coming on such short notice.
I stand before you on the brink of a momentous and solemn occasion, for both humans and Taelons.
- Watch the perimeter.
- Ok.
But, the announcement is not mine to make.
I humbly turn over the proceedings to Zo'or, leader of our Synode.
Greetings.
Hello.
I will be brief as I have little time left.
Tomorrow, I along with the remaining members of my kind, will submit to death stasis in accordance with our mission imperative.
I can't believe this! What's the catch? He's dying, look at him.
You, alone, must solve the mystery of core energy.
An enigma which has forever eluded us.
Say your farewells now.
For we will not return in your life time.
Goodbye my friends.
Obviously, our imminent departure will have repercurssions.
We do however have an exit strategy for we do not have much time and we will miss the friends we have made here, on Earth.
Halt! Halt, or I fire! He's symbionic.
Get back! He's got photon grenades.
Are you allright? I am, due to your vigilance.
Major? Get him an evac, now.
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 word.

Season 4 Episode 20 EPIPHANY I keep telling you I'm fine.
- You're not the doctor.
- I don't I need one.
You were unresponsive *** for thirty-six minutes.
I've been treating you for three years now, you've never shown these symptons.
You definitively need a doctor.
- Then I want another opinion.
- Who else you gonna go to go? Dr.
Curzon more or less invented her own speciality, interspecies medicine isn't even been taught.
I have the flu or I need a vitamin B shot.
- I don't need a specialist.
- Aren't you listening? You have a serious condition.
This is no joke.
Your white cells count is double the norm.
Your immune systems are on overload, you obviously have an unbalance or and infection some damn thing, I just can't find it.
Any prognosis? - Isolation, quarantine.
- You mean I'm contagious? No.
*** known desease.
If I'm not contagious then, I got a job to do.
She said known decease! you may have a massive infection, you are no condition to work.
I took an oath to protect Da'an.
- So, let the Volunteers handle it.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not changing my mind.
Do you have anything that at least *** the symptoms? I can try a shot of polybiotics.
Let's do it.
We've checked and rechecked all systems, Zo'or.
Perhaps you should report to the stasis deck.
You wouldn't want to keep your guests waiting.
You seem to be in a hurry to get rid of me.
As you know, my sole concern is for your personal well fare.
Do you truly believe I'm too weakened enough to believe that? The humans have assembled.
They are awaiting us.
Leave us, agent Sandoval.
I wish a final moment in private with Da'an.
I believe I speak for both humans and Taelons when I say I admire your courage and strength in these - our final hours.
- Courage and strength? I never would have gravelled before the humans if you've not forced me to do it.
I forced you to do nothing.
You threaten to withhold my daily allotment of core energy if I did not apologizes and submit to stasis.
If you had not expanded your own energy as well as the supply you siphonned from the blood of the humans, you would not be depending on mine.
It is indeed a waste, that you are the one who possesses such an anbundant supply of core energy.
You have enough to last another millenium, yet you are foolish enough to choose to enter into stasis.
The mother ship will only carry out the final phase of our mission imperative if all Taelons are in stasis.
I cannot stand in the way of our destiny.
Report.
South American embassy closed a hour ago, European and Australian an hour before that.
Have all departures has been peaceful? For the most part, it's been some demonstrators but nothing serious.
Da'an's really worried about you? We all are.
I spoke to Da'an a hour ago, I'm fine.
We were lucky you were able to think on your feet.
You're the one who spotted the assailant I never saw him coming.
Anything on the bomber? Apparently, he was a lone wolf.
He bought the bionic implant and plasma grenades on the military black market.
I sent the data to VIU for verification.
I hope that's ok.
They can take it from here.
I also did a quick review on embassy security.
I know you must be so busy, you haven't had enough time to update the protocols, so I installed a software, it will detect human symbionics and cyborgs.
A little late for that, doesn't it? The Taelons are going into stasis.
Oh, I'd say it was late the patch has been available for two wee Sorry, that was way of the line.
Don't apologize.
Good work.
Symbionics are undetectable ***.
Nice job.
Thank you, Sir.
I'll prefit the shuttle.
- Liam.
- Clear! Once we enter death stasis, there is no turning back.
It could take thousands of years for mankind to solve the mystery of synthesizing core energy.
We will become a forgotten race a myth.
The humans have pledge to help us.
They will not forget us.
But you and I do not have to enter death stasis, Da'an.
You could share your energy with me and together we could work with the humans and guide their progress for another five hundred years.
I know you are frightened, Zo'or.
As am I.
But we must have faith.
I am not willing to surrender my life on faith.
I am not surprised by your change of heart.
In fact, I anticipated it.
Therefore, believe me when I say you will receive no more core energy from me.
Then you would let me die.
If I must You are a out-of-time, my child.
It looks if I'm about to watch some kind of mass suicide.
As good as.
I'm not believing it until all of this thing flies off to Orion or some place, and let's me get back to an undistinguished career of dirty politics.
It is time to begin or perhaps to end.
No one will move.
Zo'or You are awakening our brothers from stasis.
You must desist immediately.
I am not awakening them.
I am reviving them sufficiently so that we may contact them via the communality.
Stop! You will expand your remaining energy.
No.
I will not die until I reveal your treachery.
Da'an wants me dead.
He has energy to spare enough for us all to live but he holds it.
You must not do this.
Your thoughts will disrupt the stasis flux.
We must all submit to stasis.
That is our imperative.
So you say.
But you will be here to make certain you submit.
I will not surrender to stasis before you, Da'an.
Then you must die.
You risk the survival of our species.
Da'an, what's he doing? Zo'or has made a challenge to the communality.
I asked the brethren to choose.
Choose what? Who will be trusted to enter stasis last.
All the Taelons who are, or ever have been, now sit in judgement.
We leave it to the communality.
Arrest him! Go! Reassure the embassador will take his opinion under advisement - Where's Kincaid? - At the embassy, he won't leave Da'an.
The A.
N.
A is literally to come apart of the seams they're afraid of some sort of Taelon civil war.
I'm flooded with urgent opinions.
Half of them either don't trust Zo'or or the other half don't trust Da'an.
We haven't much choice *** back Da'an.
And pin Zo'or into a corner? - You wanted my opinion, you got it.
- I know what Zo'or is capable of.
If we let him die, it just might decided take the rest of us with him.
You get the point.
What's this? A security report via protector H.
Q from Tina De May? I haven't had time to read it.
Apparently Protector Kincaid is suffering from a medical condition of unknown origin.
While he should not be relieved of duty it would be prudent to add a support team to his detail! That's sound to me like a rooky trying to do a good job.
Sound like she's trying a little too hard.
- Then let it slide.
- She copy the V.
I.
U.
and the Synode.
Do whatever you want.
I'm late for the President.
And I still don't know what I'm gonna tell him.
Change the security field code to a rotating frequency.
Tell De May to coordinate an evacuation simulation.
I wanna shave 5 minutes off our time.
Don't you worry the Volunteers are loyal to Zo'or? They're as devided over this as we are.
How's the White House.
In fact I didn't come here to talk about the A.
N.
A.
there's another problem.
It's about your protégée.
She's running an exterior security sweep.
What's up? Done some checking on her.
Tina is a level arts graduate from Oberlin.
She was in the first of master, earning her Masters Degree in early childhood education then she dropped out.
Twelve months later, she's top of her class at Quantico.
She had a changed of heart, so what? Doesn't it strike you as odd that a preschool teacher from Ohio, suddenly decides become a Companion Protector.
I don't get why you're trying to make a case against her.
She's a good kid.
I didn't want to show you this, but she filed a report, to Protector H.
Q.
She never came out and said it but, she implied that you're unfit to serve because you're sick.
Illness of unknown origin.
Additional security personal requested.
Look I'll have a talk with her when I get some time, allright? Talk? I'd beat her to write that.
Liam? Liam! What happened? You collapse at the embassy.
Dr Curzon revived you with a shot of adrenaline.
Fine, give me another one and let's get out of here.
I wish it was that simple.
I've checked and rechecked my test results.
They've come back the same every time.
What's wrong with me? Well until recently, your third strand of your kimera DNA has been as much a part of you as your your skin and bones.
But one Ha'Gel alter your biochemistry and made you fully human.
that third strand became toxic.
It's It's not something we can just cut out.
It's in every cell of your body.
So you mean my immune system is treating my all DNA like an infection? - Well how gonna treat it? - It's an uncharted territory.
I've start to running test but your fever spiking over 106 already.
Your body can't physically take much more of this.
Well that might explain this vision I've been having.
How long do I have? A few days if we're lucky.
There's an alternative but it's not a cure.
Let's ear it.
Well I've been experimented with the stasis tank you obtained from the mothership.
Does anyone know you have it? No I defied orders and stole the protocols.
Now it's not the time to let everyone know But I will need to compare my prototype with the real thing.
You summoned me? I have an assignment for you.
Assignment? It's over Zo'or.
You're going into stasis, and if you don't, you'll die.
And I don't take orders from a corpse.
Yours will be a hollow victory.
If Da'an prevails you will have no authority, no base of power.
Oh, it no longer matters.
Of course, it does.
Attack the embassy, bring me Da'an.
Give me a reason, Zo'or.
A good one.
I will give you anything, wealth, technology beyond your dreams.
You have nothing I want.
What if I offer you immortality? Deliver me Da'an, and you may have my place on the stasis deck.
You will have no past, only a future no human can even imagine.
And what of the present? With Da'an gone, you and I will rule unchallenged.
There will be no limits to our power.
Major Kincaid has your condition deteriorated? Don't worry about me.
What's the latest on Zo'or? The communality becomes more divided by the hour.
Time is on your side, Zo'or has to submit stasis sooner or later.
- Yes, if he refuses, he dies.
- But that's his choice.
I have never told this to anyone before, but you deserve to know.
Zo'or is my child.
Your child? Begotten when the Taelons could still reproduce.
Then why all that hatred and betrayal? Do not human parents and children become divided? Zo'or's fear of stasis is so great.
I do not trust that even impending death can force him to submit.
And how can I, his parent, allow my child to commit suicide? I don't know.
But one thing I do know is that Zo'or will stop at nothing to save himself.
We need to have a talk about lieutenant De May.
I already told you, let it go.
I think you should see this.
I reviewed the security tape, from the embassy the day Da'an was attacked.
What the hell was that? Gunn didn't fire.
It was her.
Happened so fast no one saw it.
Had my staff on a spectral analysis on the energy signature, it's not Taelon and it's not human.
Your best guess? Jaridian have advanced cloacking technology.
We've already seen some of what they can do.
You're saying she's Jaridian? I'm saying, you should ask lieutenant De May.
Sorry to interrupt.
I've just received a communiqué from a contact on the mothership.
- Zo'or is planning an assault on the embassy.
- When? Storm troops have already been deployed.
We've got to move.
I've notifed the safehouses and select one.
Shuttle is waiting on the roof.
We use the portal system.
- Portals aren't secure.
- That's enough, you're a trainee.
Perhaps your concern is valide Major.
Anyone with half a brain can trace the coordinates.
You dismissed De May.
I didn't want have to do this but you forced me.
Liam's been decieving you.
He has his own agenda.
The only one with an agenda here is you.
He's going to die Da'an.
That's why he has stollen your stasis technology.
It's his only hope for survival.
Stasis technology is one of our most sacred of secrets.
I explicitly told you this, Major.
Liam Kincaid is incapable of such a betrayal.
Well, I've been an experimented with the stasis tank you obtained from the mothership.
Does anyone know you have it? No I defied orders and stole the protocols.
Now it's not the time to let anyone know.
You have obviously altered the contents of the conversation.
No, she didn't.
But it doesn't change anything.
I pledge my life to protect you and I will do that until I die.
How do you know where he's gonna portal you? If his life depends on stasis technology, how do we know he hasn't already made a plan with Zo'or? That portal can be one-way ticket to the mothership.
Storm troops have disengaged the primary energy field.
The roof is still secure.
Come on.
Now I'm not gonna let you do this.
- Da'an wait.
- No, Liam.
I once trusted you with my life, but you have betrayed me.
I hereby relieve you of your duty.
You can't do that.
I thought of all the humans, you were the one I could rely on, but I realize now, I was misguided.
Why? Why Why have Why have you done this to me? Liam, are you alright? I tried to global you but your frequency's scrambled so the embassy portals.
- Where's Da'an? - The shuttle bay, with Tina.
- I'll stop them.
- It's no use.
I've lost Da'an's trust - It's over Renée.
- Not yet, come on.
Why have you deactivated the safety field? Thank you Lieutenant.
We'll take it from here.
Once we are gone, erase all of Da'an's data banks and destroy anything he might use as a weapon in the future.
Please, agent Sandoval, whatever arrangement you've made with Zo'or, it is not worth.
Freeze! Covering fire! Why? You were willing to let me die.
The choice was yours.
I beg of you Zo'or, to reconsider your actions.
Do what is right for our species.
I have done what is right.
You have created the viciousness in the communality.
You must be stopped before the damage is irreparable.
Then you intend to murder me.
I am hardly the monster you are.
I will leave you with enough energy to survive stasis.
If I recall, those are the terms you originally dictated to me.
Humans would call this "a supreme twist of irony".
If you do not enter stasis, the mothership will be unable to complete her mission imperative.
The mission imperative is flawed and you are a traitor.
Let those be your final thoughts as you enter the lingering death of stasis.
We need to initiate stasis now.
All I need is to activate the sequence.
Everything Liam took off the mothership is there.
The stasis protocols are all decoded.
Liam we've got to do it now.
Please don't me make decide this alone.
- He can't ear me.
- Then I'll make the call.
- We initiate stasis.
- No! I can't I can't go into stasis.
It's taelon, not human.
I want to be human, I want to be human.
He's delirious.
Please, Renée take me home.
Portal me to the stars but whatever you do don't condemn me to stasis.
You stay with me.
Faith, Renée.
Faith, Renée We've got a crash cardio in here.
Clear! Double up the power, three hundred.
Clear! Go again! No.
Do something.
I'm sorry Renée, there is nothing I can do for him now.
- And it's too late for stasis.
- No.
I'm not giving hope.
You said to have faith.
I guess I don't have enough.
I'm taking you home.
To the stars just as you wanted.
There's so much I want to say.
I don't know how to say it.
I love you.
- Where am I? - This is the dark time Liam.
The seconds between seconds.
Ha'gel why are you here? To guide you on the next step of your journey.
A Kimera spirit used this woman as an instrument to push you to the brink of human despair.
We have return the body from the one it came The human will have no memory of what it transpire.
Why have you done this to me? You are the agent of your own salvation Liam.
It is a lesson you must learn, and then teach.
Have faith, Liam.
I thought I thought you were dead.
I was gonna portal you into space.
You can't get rid of me that easy - I don't understand.
- I can't explain it.
But now that I'm no longer Kimera, I know that the true power of being human, is so much greater than we have ever imagined.
- Is that what Ha'gel told you? - I know what Ha'gel wants me to do.
But I don't have much time.
- You have the stasis protocols in your Global? - I gave them to Curzon for you.
Alright, let me have 'hem.
Where are you going? I have to go Renée.
Call it destiny, call it whatever you want, but I've to do it alone.
I know I'm asking a lot of you, but you have to let me go.
I'm giving destiny ten minutes, and I'm coming after you.
Computer, this is Liam Kincaid.
Access stasis protocols.
You are not cleared for access.
Override code: 0.
0.
0.
1.
Terminate stasis immediately.
Liam what has happened? I've activated the revival sequence.
Believe me, Da'an.
It's your only chance of survival.
No! You have killed us all in your fit of madness.
There is not enough core energy left to resume stasis.
- We will all die.
- No.
I'm giving you a chance to save your race.
How can you possibly know this? Something far greater than me knowns.
And now I believe on faith.
You spoke in the ancient tongue of the Kimera, as it was foretold in our most eternal legends.
- What did I say? - The words do not matter.
But their very existence tells me you are correct.
If you believe, then so do I.
Awakening us from stasis was the first step in our salvation.
Go now, before the other see you.
You have done well, Liam.
How did you enginered this? You were unconscious, in death stasis.
A Kimera oracle has just delivered the message of our salvation, as predicted by Ma'el two thousands years ago.
Ma'el was a fool who doomed us to extinction.
Stasis is not the answer Zo'or.
We are the agents of our own fate.
We must deliver ourselves from death.
There will be no delivrance for you, Da'an.
You have no more than a few moments before your life force withdraws to nothing.
And this time, I shall let you die.
You are robbed me with of enough energy to last a millennium, if this energy is shared amongst the Taelons, it will be enough to at least live for a few more months.
It is not much, but it will give us another chance to shape our own destiny.
No.
The energy is mine.
I will find a solution.
Communality is again in harmony.
We will find one, together.
Do not listen to him.
Da'an has betrayed you.
He's a traitor.
Nooooo.
Heart rate, EEG, EKG, everything's normal.
You're healthier now than you'll ever been.
Not bad for somebody who was clinicly dead of few hours ago? - What about his third strand of DNA? - Gone! It is if his body burned it out.
The way a fever burns out a bacterial infection.
Well, technically it's it's a miracle.
- Is that a medical opinion? - Absolutely.
Something that can't be explained.
Tell that to Tina De May, she has absolutely no idea what happened to her the past twelves months.
Oh, it's probably for the best.
How was that like? Beneath life line.
That was peaceful.
Like being part of something infinite.
I knew I had to die or live.
I was afraid.
But then I wasn't it wasn't my time.
It would have been a different story if I had put you in stasis.
How so? Well according to my analysis stasis wouldn't have frozen the decay in your DNA.
You would have been dead in 24 hours.
I guess Ha'gel knew what he is talking about after all.
You telling that to Zo'or.
Now all the Taelons revived, no energy left, it must be madness.
No, I got a message from Da'an.
Quite peaceful aboard he says.
- The distributed Zo'or's energy.
- How long can they survive? About three months but, they can never go back into stasis.
That's "do or die" for the Taelons.
It won't be long before we know.
Yeah but who does won, the other dies.
_^^^^_ ( 0 .
0 ) ( o )
And what do you think, Zo'or would be willing to do to get it? I cannot become involved.
Zo'or is killing innocent people to feed his mad need for survival.
You gonna have to get involved! The time has come for you to fulfill the first step of your destiny, to end your by-species existence.

Zo'or You are awakening our brothers from stasis.
You must desist immediately.
I am not awakening them.
I am reviving them sufficiently so that we may contact them via the communality.
Stop! You will expand your remaining energy.
No.
I will not die until I reveal your treachery.
Da'an wants me dead.
He has energy to spare enough for us all to live but he holds it.
You must not do this.
Your thoughts will disrupt the stasis flux.
We must all submit to stasis.
That is our imperative.
So you say.
But you will be here to make certain you submit.
I will not surrender to stasis before you, Da'an.
Then you must die.
You risk the survival of our species.
Da'an, what's he doing? Zo'or has made a challenge to the communality.
I asked the brethren to choose.
Choose what? Who will be trusted to enter stasis last.
All the Taelons who are, or ever have been, now sit in judgement.
We leave it to the communality.
Arrest him! Go! Reassure the embassador will take his opinion under advisement - Where's Kincaid? - At the embassy, he won't leave Da'an.
The A.
N.
A is literally to come apart of the seams they're afraid of some sort of Taelon civil war.
I'm flooded with urgent opinions.
Half of them either don't trust Zo'or or the other half don't trust Da'an.
We haven't much choice *** back Da'an.
And pin Zo'or into a corner? - You wanted my opinion, you got it.
- I know what Zo'or is capable of.
If we let him die, it just might decided take the rest of us with him.
You get the point.
What's this? A security report via protector H.
Q from Tina De May? I haven't had time to read it.
Apparently Protector Kincaid is suffering from a medical condition of unknown origin.
While he should not be relieved of duty it would be prudent to add a support team to his detail! That's sound to me like a rooky trying to do a good job.
Sound like she's trying a little too hard.
- Then let it slide.
- She copy the V.
I.
U.
and the Synode.
Do whatever you want.
I'm late for the President.
And I still don't know what I'm gonna tell him.
Change the security field code to a rotating frequency.
Tell De May to coordinate an evacuation simulation.
I wanna shave 5 minutes off our time.
Don't you worry the Volunteers are loyal to Zo'or? They're as devided over this as we are.
How's the White House.
In fact I didn't come here to talk about the A.
N.
A.
there's another problem.
It's about your protégée.
She's running an exterior security sweep.
What's up? Done some checking on her.
Tina is a level arts graduate from Oberlin.
She was in the first of master, earning her Masters Degree in early childhood education then she dropped out.
Twelve months later, she's top of her class at Quantico.
She had a changed of heart, so what? Doesn't it strike you as odd that a preschool teacher from Ohio, suddenly decides become a Companion Protector.
I don't get why you're trying to make a case against her.
She's a good kid.
I didn't want to show you this, but she filed a report, to Protector H.
Q.
She never came out and said it but, she implied that you're unfit to serve because you're sick.
Illness of unknown origin.
Additional security personal requested.
Look I'll have a talk with her when I get some time, allright? Talk? I'd beat her to write that.
Liam? Liam! What happened? You collapse at the embassy.
Dr Curzon revived you with a shot of adrenaline.
Fine, give me another one and let's get out of here.
I wish it was that simple.
I've checked and rechecked my test results.
They've come back the same every time.
What's wrong with me? Well until recently, your third strand of your kimera DNA has been as much a part of you as your your skin and bones.
But one Ha'Gel alter your biochemistry and made you fully human.
that third strand became toxic.
It's It's not something we can just cut out.
It's in every cell of your body.
So you mean my immune system is treating my all DNA like an infection? - Well how gonna treat it? - It's an uncharted territory.
I've start to running test but your fever spiking over 106 already.
Your body can't physically take much more of this.
Well that might explain this vision I've been having.
How long do I have? A few days if we're lucky.
There's an alternative but it's not a cure.
Let's ear it.
Well I've been experimented with the stasis tank you obtained from the mothership.
Does anyone know you have it? No I defied orders and stole the protocols.
Now it's not the time to let everyone know But I will need to compare my prototype with the real thing.
You summoned me? I have an assignment for you.
Assignment? It's over Zo'or.
You're going into stasis, and if you don't, you'll die.
And I don't take orders from a corpse.
Yours will be a hollow victory.
If Da'an prevails you will have no authority, no base of power.
Oh, it no longer matters.
Of course, it does.
Attack the embassy, bring me Da'an.
Give me a reason, Zo'or.
A good one.
I will give you anything, wealth, technology beyond your dreams.
You have nothing I want.
What if I offer you immortality? Deliver me Da'an, and you may have my place on the stasis deck.
You will have no past, only a future no human can even imagine.
And what of the present? With Da'an gone, you and I will rule unchallenged.
There will be no limits to our power.
Major Kincaid has your condition deteriorated? Don't worry about me.
What's the latest on Zo'or? The communality becomes more divided by the hour.
Time is on your side, Zo'or has to submit stasis sooner or later.
- Yes, if he refuses, he dies.
- But that's his choice.
I have never told this to anyone before, but you deserve to know.
Zo'or is my child.
Your child? Begotten when the Taelons could still reproduce.
Then why all that hatred and betrayal? Do not human parents and children become divided? Zo'or's fear of stasis is so great.
I do not trust that even impending death can force him to submit.
And how can I, his parent, allow my child to commit suicide? I don't know.
But one thing I do know is that Zo'or will stop at nothing to save himself.
We need to have a talk about lieutenant De May.
I already told you, let it go.
I think you should see this.
I reviewed the security tape, from the embassy the day Da'an was attacked.
What the hell was that? Gunn didn't fire.
It was her.
Happened so fast no one saw it.
Had my staff on a spectral analysis on the energy signature, it's not Taelon and it's not human.
Your best guess? Jaridian have advanced cloacking technology.
We've already seen some of what they can do.
You're saying she's Jaridian? I'm saying, you should ask lieutenant De May.
Sorry to interrupt.
I've just received a communiqué from a contact on the mothership.
- Zo'or is planning an assault on the embassy.
- When? Storm troops have already been deployed.
We've got to move.
I've notifed the safehouses and select one.
Shuttle is waiting on the roof.
We use the portal system.
- Portals aren't secure.
- That's enough, you're a trainee.
Perhaps your concern is valide Major.
Anyone with half a brain can trace the coordinates.
You dismissed De May.
I didn't want have to do this but you forced me.
Liam's been decieving you.
He has his own agenda.
The only one with an agenda here is you.
He's going to die Da'an.
That's why he has stollen your stasis technology.
It's his only hope for survival.
Stasis technology is one of our most sacred of secrets.
I explicitly told you this, Major.
Liam Kincaid is incapable of such a betrayal.
Well, I've been an experimented with the stasis tank you obtained from the mothership.
Does anyone know you have it? No I defied orders and stole the protocols.
Now it's not the time to let anyone know.
You have obviously altered the contents of the conversation.
No, she didn't.
But it doesn't change anything.
I pledge my life to protect you and I will do that until I die.
How do you know where he's gonna portal you? If his life depends on stasis technology, how do we know he hasn't already made a plan with Zo'or? That portal can be one-way ticket to the mothership.
Storm troops have disengaged the primary energy field.
The roof is still secure.
Come on.
Now I'm not gonna let you do this.
- Da'an wait.
- No, Liam.
I once trusted you with my life, but you have betrayed me.
I hereby relieve you of your duty.
You can't do that.
I thought of all the humans, you were the one I could rely on, but I realize now, I was misguided.
Why? Why Why have Why have you done this to me? Liam, are you alright? I tried to global you but your frequency's scrambled so the embassy portals.
- Where's Da'an? - The shuttle bay, with Tina.
- I'll stop them.
- It's no use.
I've lost Da'an's trust - It's over Renée.
- Not yet, come on.
Why have you deactivated the safety field? Thank you Lieutenant.
We'll take it from here.
Once we are gone, erase all of Da'an's data banks and destroy anything he might use as a weapon in the future.
Please, agent Sandoval, whatever arrangement you've made with Zo'or, it is not worth.
Freeze! Covering fire! Why? You were willing to let me die.
The choice was yours.
I beg of you Zo'or, to reconsider your actions.
Do what is right for our species.
I have done what is right.
You have created the viciousness in the communality.
You must be stopped before the damage is irreparable.
Then you intend to murder me.
I am hardly the monster you are.
I will leave you with enough energy to survive stasis.
If I recall, those are the terms you originally dictated to me.
Humans would call this "a supreme twist of irony".
If you do not enter stasis, the mothership will be unable to complete her mission imperative.
The mission imperative is flawed and you are a traitor.
Let those be your final thoughts as you enter the lingering death of stasis.
We need to initiate stasis now.
All I need is to activate the sequence.
Everything Liam took off the mothership is there.
The stasis protocols are all decoded.
Liam we've got to do it now.
Please don't me make decide this alone.
- He can't ear me.
- Then I'll make the call.
- We initiate stasis.
- No! I can't I can't go into stasis.
It's taelon, not human.
I want to be human, I want to be human.
He's delirious.
Please, Renée take me home.
Portal me to the stars but whatever you do don't condemn me to stasis.
You stay with me.
Faith, Renée.
Faith, Renée We've got a crash cardio in here.
Clear! Double up the power, three hundred.
Clear! Go again! No.
Do something.
I'm sorry Renée, there is nothing I can do for him now.
- And it's too late for stasis.
- No.
I'm not giving hope.
You said to have faith.
I guess I don't have enough.
I'm taking you home.
To the stars just as you wanted.
There's so much I want to say.
I don't know how to say it.
I love you.
- Where am I? - This is the dark time Liam.
The seconds between seconds.
Ha'gel why are you here? To guide you on the next step of your journey.
A Kimera spirit used this woman as an instrument to push you to the brink of human despair.
We have return the body from the one it came The human will have no memory of what it transpire.
Why have you done this to me? You are the agent of your own salvation Liam.
It is a lesson you must learn, and then teach.
Have faith, Liam.
I thought I thought you were dead.
I was gonna portal you into space.
You can't get rid of me that easy - I don't understand.
- I can't explain it.
But now that I'm no longer Kimera, I know that the true power of being human, is so much greater than we have ever imagined.
- Is that what Ha'gel told you? - I know what Ha'gel wants me to do.
But I don't have much time.
- You have the stasis protocols in your Global? - I gave them to Curzon for you.
Alright, let me have 'hem.
Where are you going? I have to go Renée.
Call it destiny, call it whatever you want, but I've to do it alone.
I know I'm asking a lot of you, but you have to let me go.
I'm giving destiny ten minutes, and I'm coming after you.
Computer, this is Liam Kincaid.
Access stasis protocols.
You are not cleared for access.
Override code: 0.
0.
0.
1.
Terminate stasis immediately.
Liam what has happened? I've activated the revival sequence.
Believe me, Da'an.
It's your only chance of survival.
No! You have killed us all in your fit of madness.
There is not enough core energy left to resume stasis.
- We will all die.
- No.
I'm giving you a chance to save your race.
How can you possibly know this? Something far greater than me knowns.
And now I believe on faith.
You spoke in the ancient tongue of the Kimera, as it was foretold in our most eternal legends.
- What did I say? - The words do not matter.
But their very existence tells me you are correct.
If you believe, then so do I.
Awakening us from stasis was the first step in our salvation.
Go now, before the other see you.
You have done well, Liam.
How did you enginered this? You were unconscious, in death stasis.
A Kimera oracle has just delivered the message of our salvation, as predicted by Ma'el two thousands years ago.
Ma'el was a fool who doomed us to extinction.
Stasis is not the answer Zo'or.
We are the agents of our own fate.
We must deliver ourselves from death.
There will be no delivrance for you, Da'an.
You have no more than a few moments before your life force withdraws to nothing.
And this time, I shall let you die.
You are robbed me with of enough energy to last a millennium, if this energy is shared amongst the Taelons, it will be enough to at least live for a few more months.
It is not much, but it will give us another chance to shape our own destiny.
No.
The energy is mine.
I will find a solution.
Communality is again in harmony.
We will find one, together.
Do not listen to him.
Da'an has betrayed you.
He's a traitor.
Nooooo.
Heart rate, EEG, EKG, everything's normal.
You're healthier now than you'll ever been.
Not bad for somebody who was clinicly dead of few hours ago? - What about his third strand of DNA? - Gone! It is if his body burned it out.
The way a fever burns out a bacterial infection.
Well, technically it's it's a miracle.
- Is that a medical opinion? - Absolutely.
Something that can't be explained.
Tell that to Tina De May, she has absolutely no idea what happened to her the past twelves months.
Oh, it's probably for the best.
How was that like? Beneath life line.
That was peaceful.
Like being part of something infinite.
I knew I had to die or live.
I was afraid.
But then I wasn't it wasn't my time.
It would have been a different story if I had put you in stasis.
How so? Well according to my analysis stasis wouldn't have frozen the decay in your DNA.
You would have been dead in 24 hours.
I guess Ha'gel knew what he is talking about after all.
You telling that to Zo'or.
Now all the Taelons revived, no energy left, it must be madness.
No, I got a message from Da'an.
Quite peaceful aboard he says.
- The distributed Zo'or's energy.
- How long can they survive? About three months but, they can never go back into stasis.
That's "do or die" for the Taelons.
It won't be long before we know.
Yeah but who does won, the other dies.
