Earth: Final Conflict s05e18 Episode Script

Bad Genes

Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict: We came, we conquered we were forced into stasis.
Now we wake, and we find ourselves overwhelmed, with human vermin intent on our annihilation.
We need to feed.
How else are we to survive on this planet? Perhaps you chose the wrong planet to try and survival, the wrong species to pray upon.
Humanity cannot be conquered.
Your only prudent course of action would be to leave Earth.
You're a fool, to think these humans can chase me from my planet.
Divert all remaining power to the weapon's systems.
It's time to bring them to their knees.
Boss, when you wanted me back in Peru, you didn't say anything about digging at more aliens? Well, you didn't ask.
And why, you think the government is gonna give you immunity? In exchange for a couple of Atavus, still frozen.
Judah.
Remember her? We're not here on behalf of the government, Tate.
Howlyn has marked these Atavus for elimination.
What? You're kidding! His own kin.
Why? For the usual reasons.
Defiance, betrayal, The real or imagined, threat to the throne.
His lordship is quiet pleased with my discovery of this royal hive.
Yeah? Well, we miss one.
The prior heard us coming.
That's an ID shuttle.
Palmer, dammit! She must have tracked us to the hive.
Boss? Behind you! Look out! You've got a plan B? You've been down here performing a public service, would you, Sandoval? Yeah I don't think so.
I need to pee, I'm out of here.
Tate! Hold it! Patent that.
In the twenty-first century, an alien species known as the Taelons came to Earth with a promise of peace.
They lied Their true agenda was to dominate us.
After years of struggle the Taelons have perished leaving more aggressive beings in their wake, the Atavus.
My name is Renée Palmer.
My mission is to stop this new species from dominating our planet.
This is Earth Final Conflict.
Season 5 Episode 18 Street you're there? Yeah, I'm here.
Someone's tracking your signal.
I'll make this fast.
I'm coming with a live one.
What?! Renée, no! It's wounded.
Yeah, and their wounds regenerate.
So just finish it off! You've got the imploder.
It's still working, right? Look Street, it's he's just a kid I can't just shoot him in cold blood.
Look, set up a security curtain around the portal.
Renée no.
Wait.
Now! Before, Sandoval comes back.
Sandoval.
Let's go kid.
Move it! Before, I change my mind.
Come on, come on.
Up, up! Stop.
I thought we agree: - No more visitors and only dead aliens.
- Yeah, just get me out of here, OK? You're right, it's just a kid.
Yeah.
- But now what? - I don't know, OK? I just I could take a minute to think.
What about the shuttle? Cloaked and parked on Easter Island.
I'll get it back later.
I just wanna know what the hell Sandoval and Tate were doing down on that hive? - What do you think? - I think they were trying to kill him.
We eliminated the guardian, but Miss Palmer managed to escape with the young one.
A female? Against the two of you? Not just any female, as you are well aware.
You got that right.
I'm sorry.
You're pathetic both of you.
I will turn this matter over to more capable beings.
Who? On of your hybrids? And how are they going to search for Miss Palmer without setting off airport and portal stations scanners? You doubt me now.
But did any among your loyal legions manage to find this royal hive? No.
I did.
And did they get a fix on Miss Palmer's global and portal frequencies? No.
I did.
What do you want, Sandoval? A second chance? I want to be free of your suspicion, resume my rightful place as your partner, and ally.
Yulyn.
He's name is Yulyn.
All Earth-based hybrids are now at your disposal.
Find him, return him to me, dead or alive, and what you ask for is yours.
- Look at those eyes.
- You wouldn't, pheromones, remember? He is terrified.
You can just feel it.
He hasn't fed, in what, 3 million years? Think about that.
Look, the best thing we can do here, is transport him to a secure medical facility draft to a multi-agency team to do a make a evaluation.
And don't give me that look.
We need to know what make theses aliens tick.
Alright.
So what the end for then, an alien autopsy? No, I'm not suggesting that! I'm talking about, quarantining him for observation, maybe running a bio-scan, a blood DNA analyses.
Whatever test that can help us create a hybrid antidote, OK? What? Someone's scanning the neighbourhood.
Including the sour, and drainage tunnels.
Saint Michael's.
Deja vu, Tate.
Yeah.
I always figured Palmer, and the little gipsy take full board on the neighbourhood here.
I've got hybrids probing through every sour and drainage conduit.
Well, there's a natural fault line running for about a half of mile.
Dozens of splits are carved, so they could be operating out of anywhere.
We got people in water and power.
Make a call.
I want the entire grid shut down.
And Tate, keep scanning for portal traffic, Global frequencies.
If you get any kind of hit, We'll smoke them out.
Congratulations, Renée.
My God, a live one? He's also a young one, Hubble.
And I want your insurance that he's gonna be treated humanly.
He's not a hybrid, he's an Atavus, Renée.
I know what he is.
I'm just reminding you what we are.
So no cutting or cleaving in our end.
Agreed? Fine.
I assure you, the alien will be treated humanly.
- Good.
- You're in possession of something someone, that we consider a threat to national security.
So stop treating me like a suspect and give me your coordinates, so we can arrange immediate transfer to Bethesda.
Fine.
I want to be there to observe.
No, Dr Stanwell, an able medical Director, runs a very tight ship.
They have a first rate quarantine facility in their biochemical wing.
Still, I want to be there.
And with Dr Curzon, she has a extensive background in Taelon energy anatomy she can prove helpful.
Hubble? Why are we loosing him? I don't know.
Someone's jamming our signal.
- Oh great.
- Sandoval.
I knew he was tracking you.
Where's the backup generator? Just give me a sec.
I can't control it from here.
The security curtain is gonna go.
Tear gas.
Alright.
- Is the receiving portal on your trailer? - Of Course, yeah, always.
Power up the portal.
- It'll use all our juice.
- Do it now! Get out of here! Go! I'll cover you.
Go! Don't move! Don't move.
Just OK, OK, that enough! Let go.
You want to live? Then you do exactly what I tell you.
Stand up.
Up, up! Come on, we don't have much time.
I will put this on, to be safe, I'm sorry.
Your hand, like that, yeah.
Alright.
Hold it.
OK, move.
Come on.
OK.
Let's go.
No, over here.
I just picked up a portal frequency, from a warehouse at a couple of blocks out there.
Totally encrypted.
It could be a misdirect.
Cover it.
I want everyone on full alert.
And Tate, remember.
Shoot to kill.
Alright.
Stay cool.
Stay close.
Perfect.
Hold it right there, Miss Palmer.
Go! Go! In the cab.
Go, go! Come on! Let's go, drive.
My nephew costume party.
Drive, would you? C'mon, eat, it's pizza.
Everyone loves pizza.
God, this is ridiculous.
I'm done feeding you, you're not a baby.
Get up.
Just, watch your table manners now.
Careful, it's hot.
Yeah, I told you.
If you don't like the pepperoni, just pick it off.
It's what I do.
I told you, no sudden moves.
Let's just get something straight here, OK? I am not your mother, or your savior, or your guardian angel.
Look at me.
And I'm not about to be your last supper either.
Let's eat your damn pizza.
Now, you developed quite a following, kid.
The government can't wait to get their hands on you.
Sandoval is definitely on a hunt and Howlyn probably has a horde of hybrids out there, scarring the Earth for you.
Howlyn? Yeah, Howlyn.
What about him? Howlyn? I told you sit down, come on.
I am through babysitting you.
Time to put my tax stealer to work.
- Hubble? - Renée? Yeah it's me, I'm in transit.
Don't worry, I still got your package.
Just need the portal coordinates to Bethesda.
I send them now.
What do you think about that? Yeah, we blew it.
Once Howlyn finds out, we let Palmer and alien boy give us a slip He won't, as long as we deal with him on a need to now basis.
Yeah.
Tell that to his fellow hybrids.
Yes.
Palmer's turning the Atavus over to a med team over in Bethesda.
When? I don't know yet.
Have you got any names? Specific locations? They prepping a room for him in the biochemical wing now.
Excellent work, Sergeant.
Stand by for further instructions.
Stand down gentlemen, it'll make him less nervous.
Miss Palmer, I'm Lieutenant Stanwell, the medical officer in charge.
- We've been expecting you - Yeah.
Dr Curzon here? On her way.
Now, if you let us escort the subject into the med lab - have it sedated.
- That's a "he" Doctor.
And I was assured by director Urick that he would be treated humanly, you understand? Of course.
We'll anesthetize for any biopsies, grasps, whatever.
No surgeries, no invasive procedures, just the standard quarantine measures.
Observation, - scanning, that was our agreement.
- So it was Is.
Now if you don't mind Miss Palmer, we'll take it him, from here.
Please.
Go on, they will look after you now.
Look, I told you, I can't take care of you.
Now they can and they will.
You go on.
Go on.
Thanks Sergeant, I can take it from here.
Now then, the first areas we're going to observe are pain threshold, and cellular regeneration.
What the hell am I doing? What's going on? This was a bad idea.
A really bad idea.
No! Don't.
No feeding or our bets are off.
I'll leave you here, let them get on a full dissection.
He would have killed you.
So, we speak the same language now.
- He's not entirely human.
- Human enough.
So what it's gonna be? You're right.
I cannot feed.
And I will not feed.
And I would never harm you.
Yeah, said the scorpion to the frog.
Look, my mission here, my sole mission is to get you to a secure lockdown facility preferably away from any butchers, Atavus or hybrids.
And my father.
What? And my father.
Howlyn.
I should have known.
Where are you? Hold up, in Suburbia.
You remember that furnished apartment, I tried to tuck you into on the west side? Do I ever? - What happened in Bethesda? - We checked in, we checked out.
News flash.
- He's Howlyn's son.
- Oh, my God.
And he has played it all stops to get his boy back.
Street? I found her! Uh, I'm gonna have to get back to you Street, what's going on? Miss Street.
We have to stop meeting like this.
Scan its Global frequency.
- Were she calling from the lair? - Ask her yourself.
Good afternoon, Renée.
Sorry to interrupt.
- What the hell are you doing Hubble? - I'm ringing you in.
You forgot to leave the alien at Bethesda.
- Instead you left five dead! - What did you expect me to do? You've left me in quite a pickle here, Renée.
And this will all go away, if you just hand over the alien.
Be smart! And portal that thing straight over to Quantico.
We'll be waiting to receive.
Dead or alive, right? It's you, I'm trying to help out here, my friend.
Friend? I don't know.
We're still friends, Hubble? If you think I'm bluffing here, Renée You still be warmer.
You got a name? Yulyn.
Well, listen up, Yulyn.
Things have gotten complicated here.
We've got a couple of homicidal bounty hunters named Sandoval and Tate after you, not to mention a horde of hybrids, military personal, and now the FBI.
As well as my father.
Yeah, I feel sorry to break it to you kid, but he's not getting you back.
I don't want to go back.
You know my father, but you do not know me.
Back top the hospital that that was the closest I've ever been to feeding on a human to shaming myself and to bring the shame to the memory of my mother.
Yulyn.
It's time to feed.
You must fortify yourself.
No, Yulyn.
This is not the way for him.
It is the only way.
Then this is not the planet for us.
My mother and father, they fought a lot.
About me, about what was happening to the colonists.
She didn't want you to feed.
No! Even though the other brethren were dying because they weren't feeding, she believed that all life was sacred.
Even when times got desperate.
Promise me, Yulyn that you will resist the need of your urges, that your spirit will stand up to your father.
Even if your body grows weak.
Silence! Leave him be.
He must hunt to survive, it is the only way.
There is another way.
Take us back to our home world, Howlyn.
Beg forgiveness from your father.
Never! It's time you're coming to your own, Yulyn.
Die, or make me proud today.
The choice is yours.
I chose to defy him, to honor my mother.
My father he would have killed me.
If it had not been for that asteroid shower.
My guardian, the one you killed managed to place me in stasis, before the fire consumed the land around us.
Listen.
I'm sorry about your guardian.
But it was a kill or be kill situation.
I didn't have a choice.
You don't need to feed on your own planet, do you? You've never killed, never fed before.
No.
Alright, you stay put.
I'll be back soon.
Miss Palmer.
- A very unexpected - You think about having kids Sandoval? You and Dee Dee ever discuss it, in your former life? We talked about it.
I said, I was against it.
Wise choice.
One Sandoval is enough, embarrassment for the species.
Me, I go back and forth on it.
Such a primal thing for a woman, you know.
And your point is? Yulyn's not like his father.
He's not a feeder.
And currently, I'm trying to keep all the government wolves at bay.
So my point is this: What's it gonna take, to keep Howlyn's hands off him? I don't know.
You have to ask Howlyn.
I'm asking you, errand boy.
I want you, to tell Howlyn that his son is dead.
What lie to him? Why should I? And why would he believe me? Because he knows, you can't afford to fail him.
And as for why Well, because, you have everything to gain from the human side of the equation.
Truth, the government won't grant you amnesty, but I can make some arrangements through my contacts, like maybe Oh, laser surgery or Your own island of solitude in Philippines? Then of course, there's the other consideration, the fact that we are talking about a kid here, Sandoval.
Alien, yes, but still, just a kid.
Running from the wrath of his father, and thanks to his mother's love still believe that the life is sacred.
What so funny? It's just that you've never struck me as the maternal type, Miss Palmer.
And you've never struck as possessing even one ounce of decency Sandoval, but Life is full of surprises.
Come on, Sandoval You were a kid once, weren't you ? I don't remember.
Howlyn will want some physical evidence of his son's - demise.
- I'm sure he will.
We'll be in touch.
Don't worry, I'll see myself out.
God, I'm gonna kill him.
What you doing freak.
Watch the shot.
Come on, get him, get him.
Have you seen this guy? He's kind of space.
Let's go, come on.
Play time is over, kiddo.
Let's go.
****.
Quite hard to catch a cab these days.
Especially one willing to make a round out to the west side.
Show me where you drop the lady and the kid last night.
I'll make it worth the ride.
Those boys I only wanted to try their game.
They were afraid of you.
I didn't want to hurt them.
I don't want to hurt anybody.
But you don't believe that, do you? I kept you alive.
Doesn't that count for something? I am starting to understand what it feels like to be hunted.
Your mother was right.
You and your species don't belong here.
You remind me of her, my mother.
I do? How? You're strong.
You always know what to do.
And sometimes you even listen.
I honestly don't know what to think of you.
Outside I see my enemy, but inside, I think I hope something better.
I don't want to feed.
But I don't want to die, Renée.
I don't want you to either.
But you've got to stay on your mother's path.
No matter what.
You understand? You've been given a second chance at life.
A second chance to stand up to your father, to stop the bloodshed, to save lives rather than to take lives, human or Atavus.
Yulyn, this is your fate.
Honor my mother, defy my father.
I don't know whether or not I can continue to Listen to me.
You don't have to do this alone.
I'll be beside you every step of the way.
I can even arrange, so that you can make your appeal to your father on global television that means in front of every Human, hybrid, Atavus on the planet.
Your father will have a lot of pressure to do the right thing.
Leave or die It's the only way.
Get down.
No deal, Miss Palmer! Yeah, I get that.
When I say go, head for the kitchen.
Go, go, go! We're all clear.
Dammit! I'm hit.
No, you're just pathetic, Tate.
Unit two, the subjects are in the kitchen.
Cover the alleyway.
Stay back.
Father.
Time had stood still for us, Yulyn.
Again I've offered you sustenance, and a choice.
Eat or die.
Father.
One more step, and you'll picking up the pieces.
- Renée - Shut up! like father like son.
You'll be happy to hear, he's missed you beyond measure.
Can't wait to join you in your campaign of carnage.
Is this true? Oh, whatever it takes to make you proud.
If you think, I'm gonna set him free so he can go hunting, like his dear old dad.
I'm certain some arrangement can be negotiated.
There's only one arrangement.
You leave, you, all your brethren, hybrids start packing for trip back to your home world, cause really It's the only way, you gotta get him back.
What we're doing back here? It's called hiding in plain sight, I figure this is the last place your father, and his minions will come looking for us.
You threatened to kill me.
You and me were cornered in that apartment.
It was the move I had left.
I thought that if I can convince you that my threats were real, then I can convince Howlyn.
I'm really sorry, I scared you.
I hate him for what he's done.
But he's still my father.
I know.
And I miss him.
I know.
But you know that you can't follow his path.
You're not my mother.
You know you're right about that.
Well, better get some sleep.
You, Atavus do sleep, don't you? It's time you're coming to your own, Yulyn.
Die, or make me proud today.
The choice is yours.
The choice is yours.
It was my mother's.
I wanna go home.
Thanks for donating the blood, and tissue samples I think they'll be very helpful.
With curing the hybrids? Yes, hopefully.
Once you're in stasis, you'll be safe here.
You understand? Yulyn, do you trust me? I trust you.
And I won't forget you.
Me neither.
I'll get you home.
I Promise.
