"Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict:" "The Taelons' approval has declined." "It is important that we avoid any situation that might make the Taelons and myself appear unfavorable in any way." "Gaining Zo'or's trust only benefits the Resistance in the long run." "You seem to be enjoying your little charade." "I'm not the one protecting Companions day in, day out." "We live up here in this mothership, looking down upon your tiny blue planet." "No one likes to be looked down upon, Agent Sandoval." "You've always encouraged Zo'or to reach out to humankind." "To him human beings will never be more than a sub-species." "Now it's time for you to do something." "Why would the Synod summon me back to the mothership?" "This trilateral security conference has been scheduled for months." "You obviously misunderstood." "Cancel balance of trip." "Return immediately, by order of the Synod." "It will now be impossible for me to resume my schedule." "You are positive this recall order is official?" "Let's see." "It has your authenticator code." "It has the Synod's eyes only counter code, it was signed by all 13 members." "12." "13." "First Minister Je'Tan, Second Minister Bal'hor," " War Minister T'than..." " T'than?" "T'than signed the order?" "Hold on." "The guidance detects an unknown object occupying our reentry point." "We've just been dumped out of ID space." "It's right in front of us." "We can't change course." "Brace!" "Subtitled by Axarion" "They have come to Earth with the promise of peace." "An alien race called the Taelons." "But, there are those who resist these Alien Companions." "For the Taelons' true mission, the secrets they hide will forever alter our world." "The fate of humanity now relies on those who dare challenge the future of Earth." "Are you alright?" "Thanks." "You took a big chance going into that fire." "I couldn't just let you burn up in there." "What are you staring at?" "Am I?" "I just haven't seen anyone new in so long." "Space junk." "We collided with it." "Have you seen another crash bubble like the one I was in?" "No." "Can you help me search?" "I'm looking for my passenger." " I'm a Companion Protector." " You have a companion?" " How many of you are there?" " Just two." "Now you're staring at me again." "I'm sorry, I guess I thought you're here to find us." "Why?" "Are you hiding?" "Listen, thanks for your help." "Naraina Durrant." "Ah, Naraina, I need to find my passenger, Zo'or, form the Taelon Synod." "What's a Taelon Synod?" "You mean you've never heard of the Taelons?" "A blue light fell over that ridge, if that's what you're looking for." "At first it was too bright to even look at, and then it just suddenly died." "Well, that's trouble." "The containment on my ID drive might be ruptured." "This isn't working." "Have you got a global?" "A mobile phone." "Technology corrupts our natural purity." " Where are we, anyway?" " The Enclave." "That's what we call it anyway." "It's the Sunlight Basin, between Yellowstone and the Bighorn range." "So, another words, we're in the middle of nowhere?" " To us it's everywhere." " I need to shut down that ID drive." "My father's hunting over there, what if he gets it first?" "Well, I hope not." "The quantum core is unstable, it'll vaporize, taking your father and a big chunk of landscape with it." "Welcome T'than." "Our separation has been longer than we wished." "Zo'or deems it less than worthy to welcome me?" "He is the sole reason that I have traveled the Meruva galaxy to Earth." "Zo'or was recalled the time we received your special order." " He has been somehow detained." " Detained?" "Has he?" "I wonder, by chance or by choice?" " How long have you lived here?" " Most of my life." "A decade before the new millennia, my father led 6 families to the Enclave to resume our natural lives." "He calls us the Children of the Earth." " Oh, you're survivalists?" " Natural purists." "We blend with nature as it was before mankind altered it." "My father saw this is our destiny in a vision." "I'll tell you all about it." " Still not working?" " It's definitely damaged during the crash." "If I can repair it I can have a squadron of rescue shuttles here in 10 minutes." "My father won't like that, the Children of the Earth are pure of this world." "I get that, Naraina, and I'm sorry, but the world won't stay pure of you." "News that Zo'or's missing is flashing around the planet." "The biggest search in history is starting." "The beacon on the shuttle will lead them right here." "Who is this Zo'or?" "That's the ID drive." "If it's pulsing like that it won't be long before it goes critical." "Let's hurry." "Greetings, Da'an." "I was getting an update on our memory recovery project when I heard that Zo'or's shuttle is missing." "They said his pilot is Liam Kincaid, is that true?" "Yes, it is true." "30 minutes ago they engaged the inter-dimensional drive in DC, heading for Beijing." "We had a possible blip over North America." "Unconfirmed, then nothing." "Zo'or is still present in the Commonality, but somewhat diminished." "He may be dying or lost between dimensions." "Should we widen the search beyond our own resources?" "I advise caution before taking this matter public, Da'an." "The stability of many world governments, not to mention the financial markets, is tied directly to the stability of the Taelon Synod." "That is wise counsel, Agent Sandoval." "I concur." "Naraina!" "She's probably miles away, Byron." "She told me she's going hunting over toward the Basin." "That's what worries me." "Pieces of this thing fell over there." "I wonder if we should get any closer, Byron." " Before we know what it is." " I know what it is." "It's probably unhealthy." "It's a machine, it's inherently unhealthy." "We mustn't allow it to corrupt the Enclave." "So, we'll dispose of it." "And none of the others need to ever be tainted." "Get away from the wreck!" "Get back!" "It's not safe until I shut down the quantum drive." "He's a pilot, father, listen to him." "What's a quantum drive?" "With that pulse, it's unstable." "Ah, this technology." "Look at the chaos it brings." "You're on private land, sir." " Can I help you?" " Kyle!" "I can't stabilize it, but I think we can both carry it." "We'll get it out and dump it over that cliff over there." " Run, get as far away as you can." " Jason, get Naraina clear." "You okay?" "What in the world is that?" "Zo'or!" "It's Kincaid, hang on, I'll get you out of there." "But I need to deflect your energy before I can move you." "What is that, Kyle?" "What's making that glow?" "Stand quietly, stand quietly now." "When you said it was a passenger, I thought..." " What is it, Liam?" " This is a Taelon." "It is mechanical, correct?" "A technological abomination." "No, it's a bioenergetic intelligent life-form, very intelligent." "His name is Zo'or." " Intelligent life-form?" " An extraterrestrial." "An alien." "According to your daughter, you've been out here so long you've missed a historic event." "Zo'or and a starship full of Taelons arrived on Earth over four years ago." "That's preposterous!" "Zo'or." "It's Liam Kincaid." "This is the day." "The day." "They've arrived, Byron." " We're finally pure." " Stand quietly, Jason." "What is this?" "I do not accept this as a life-form." "Accept it or not, Byron, the proof lies there." "Major Kincaid." "I recall... we were confused... about a message from the Synod." "Please refresh... my..." "Come on, he's losing energy." "It's the equivalent to us bleeding to death." " What do we need, Liam?" " It's called Taelon bio-slurry." "The debris form the shuttle, it's actually alive, maybe we can make a kind of bandage." "Don't touch anything, Naraina, it's impure and unnatural, it's from the outside." "But we can't just let him die." " Will this work?" " No, it's gotta be in one piece." "You have some in your jacket, Byron." "It's perfect." "Hand me that mesh." "Help me get him up." "Okay, okay, bind him up." "Zo'or." "Can you hear me?" "When I touch you I can hardly feel anything." "You're losing a lot of energy." "T'than." "Are you here in your official capacity as War Minister?" "No." "I have come to remove Zo'or as Leader of the Synod." "Word of Zo'or's slow and uneven progress here on Earth has travelled to every Taelon outpost." "I believe that I can convince the entire Synod to back my proposal." "And that proposal is?" "To make you new Synod Leader." "The Synod must still approve you, Da'an." "But if it is your will, I will vigorously support you." "Everyone, gather!" "We have visitors." "Have you seen anything?" "What is it?" "Stand quietly now." "All your questions will be answered in due course." " We found a spaceship." " She's not exaggerating." "We found a spacecraft." "It was flying over the Basin and crashed." "This creature was on board." "It's called the Taelon." "It's an alien." "These are the Children of the Earth, Major Kincaid." "These are my friends and fellow believers that this life is the one and only pure life." "My friends, today we may have reached zenith for which we all been striving." "I must search for the natural way of it." "Could we at least get him under some shelter?" "You can use my home, he'll be comfortable up there." "Thank you." "This is the day." "It's true." "I'm not certain it's true." "It may all be an elaborate ruse, a deception." "That's why we came here, isn't it?" "To allude the deceptions and the sham of the artificial world." "I'm going to fast and seek this truth, but I don't know it yet." "We must give Byron time to seek inwardly, he never failed us." "Whatever you say, but right now we need to get help." " How far are we from civilization?" " This é civilization." "You mean how far are you from chaos." "I mean how far is a nearest town or ranch, or road?" " 50 miles." " 50 to a ranch." "Town of Cody is more than 80 miles." "Then, I guess I've got a long ride." "I need to borrow a horse." "That would be no problem." "But without one of us to show you the way, you'd be hopelessly lost." "We'll discuss that as soon as I've had time for clear vision of the truth." "The Taelon needs urgent medical care, not some herbs or some folk medicine." "I need to take him to his mother ship." "He's not gonna listen to you." "You're from the outside." "Durrant, please." "If I walk out of here, he'll be dead by the time I get back." "Durrant, I'm a major in the US army." "Under international law you are required to give me any and all assistance." "The Children of the Earth live by a much older law, Major." "Byron." "I need to be by myself and need some quiet, Kyle." "Fine, but listen for a moment." "I can ride to Cody." "No." "If I take a fresh pair of horses, I can be there in a day." "And get that Taelon some help." "No!" "The world has forgotten us, Kyle." "That's why we're here." "You tell them where we are, they'll never leave us alone." "I don't understand you." "This is precisely what you foretold." " Right now in may cabin that alien..." " We don't know what is in your cabin." "But I am convinced that... if this is the day we were waiting for, I would know, in here." "Don't go anywhere, Kyle!" "If this is the star savior, he's not going to appear to us simply to die." "I'm sorry, I'm trying to let him rest." "Liam, it's Naraina." "I've brought some food." "You have to eat something." "Come on in." "I can't believe I'm here with a being from another world." "Naraina, can you tell me about your father and his vision?" "What exactly poisoned him on technology?" "My mother." "She died in a plane crash." "I'm sorry." "I was only two." "After that he went through a period of... meditation and became convinced that her death was a symptom of a world gone crazy for technology." "He also had visions of a day of purity." "The arrival of what he called star saviors." "The premonition came true." "I don't think he ever expect that to happen." "As long as he was the one predicting the future, he was special." "As long as we're here in the Enclave, everyone... looks to him for guidance and wisdom." "You sound less than happy about that." "Are you tired of being out here in the wilderness?" "No, I love here." "I don't wanna go back." "Some do, but I don't." "Has anyone ever left?" "Only three people." "And your father didn't object to them leaving?" "My father wouldn't hold us against our will." "We're not his prisoners." "Then, he'll listen to reason and let me get Zo'or out of here so I could save him." "Agent Ronald Sandoval, we have not met." "I am T'than, Taelon War Minister." "I should have introduced myself, but events have superseded... a fitting welcome." "It is ironic that my presence seems destined to pretend disaster for Zo'or." "I'm in law enforcement, T'than, I leave portents to the mystics." "Zo'or's misadventure simply anticipated his downfall by another means." "Fall, disaster." "Strong words." "I have been conducting Taelon diplomacy for too many centuries to be concerned with strong words." "And you have been Zo'or's Protector now for many months." "By all accounts, you've been much more." "Zo'or turned responsibility for terrestrial security over to me." "Zo'or's sphere of influence in unravelling, Agent Sandoval." "It is wise to know when to move out of harm's way, and with whom you may find shelter." "I've been seeking the truth tonight, I believe I found it." "I knew you would." "I might have had an insight myself." "Tell me." "Don you remember what happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947?" "The famous incident?" "I read about in your books, I saw the photos." "Something fell out of the sky and left metallic debris." "They say it was embossed with a peculiar alphabet." " Just like we found." " I remember." "Go on." "They also say that bodies were found in the wreckage." "A nurse even made a sketch." "Blue or gray in color, large oval heads." "Just like the Taelon." "What does that tell you?" "It's all part of the confusion and lies we left behind." "I am more convinced than ever that we have to protect our natural purity," "and wait for a clarity." "The quality I admire most in you is your ability to understand what needs to be done." "I'm afraid Kyle and... the people that think like him... might be arrogant enough to... believe they are more important than the rest of us." "Three times I've made the sacrifice for the Children of the Earth." "Now it's time for you to show your devotion to our cause." "I know you won't fail me." "He never lets anyone leave." "At 08:49 this evening the Taelon press office confirmed reports that shuttlecraft carrying Zo'or, the Leader of the Taelon Synod, has disappeared." "We canceled our normal programing to stay with this." "They couldn't keep this story bottled up forever." "More like a controlled leak." "From what they tell me, they're pretty much run out of possibilities." "All you need is to get next to a good source." "We can't survive on their press handouts, this is Liam." "I know." "Look, I'm going crazy up here waiting." "I'll use the portal and be down there in 10 minutes." "Maybe between us we can think of something." "T'than." "You haven't said anything for hours, I thought..." " Well, I was worried that you'd already..." " Not yet, but soon." "When neural pathways in the human body cease to be energized, you are dead." "As with us." "I remember we were talking about T'than." "Why was that?" "He signed the order from the Synod recalling you to the mother ship." "I've never heard of him." "My bitterest enemy." "T'than contested my appointment to the Earth legation." "I must assume he has some further problems for me." "But he may be denied the pleasure of them." "On your planet... the summer heat causes atmospheric electrical discharges." "Lightening." "Yes." "That must be like a final thought." "Like lightning over the horizon." "A brilliant flash... then gone forever." "I'll think of something before that happens, Zo'or." "We need a source of energy, but... so far all I found is this." "That will not suffice." "But we do have one other energy source." "You mean yourself?" "No, you're too weak." " I can't do that to you." " We have no choice." "I find it hard to believe that a human would rescue me." "Although, you have been loyal, you are ultimately a human being." "You could easily let me die." "If you were my enemy." "If you were my enemy, you would be the enemy of all Taelons." "I would leave you to die without hesitation." "Why won't you help me?" "Byron is searching for the truth." "Nonsense." "Durrant doesn't cares about the truth." "All he cares about is keeping you all here." " You're out of your mind, brother." " Am I, Jason?" "Why don't you give the rest of the Children of the Earth here a glimpse under the floor in Durrant's home?" "How is that Taelon?" "We were talking a little while ago, but now he's in a... kind of coma, I don't think he has long." "Then you couldn't have saved him even if you'd left this afternoon." "Think saving Zo'or's life would've ruined your privacy?" "You have no idea what letting him die is gonna do to the neighborhood." "The White House has issued a statement of mourning and urged calm." "Again, repeating the news we first heard just 20 minutes, although, his remains have not yet been recovered," "Zo'or is assumed to be dead." "The news hit the overseas stock market hard causing panic selling, and trading has been suspended..." "I think I found them." "And not in some ID limbo, but right here on Earth." " Are they alive?" " One thing at a time." "Now, what would bring down a shuttle with time for distress burst?" "See, the only thing I could come up with was a supersonic collision." "I'm not hearing the good part yet." "Well, here it is." "At 09:40 today, an old rocket booster from 1989 was scheduled to come home to roost right here." "Now, if they hit that thing, then they fell somewhere inside this circle." "My father won't give him any help." "He's afraid." "He's afraid of he'll stand up to a new world." "He's not a wise leader anymore." "I don't recognize him anymore." "He'll never let us leave, Naraina." "You know that." "I don't know anything anymore." "All I know is that I can't let another being die just to... satisfy my father's ego." "From what Kincaid says, the outside will hold us responsible." "What more evidence do we need that their impurity has polluted their powers of reason?" "It's gone from chaos to madness out there." "I will take personal responsibility." "I should have known Naraina would be beguiled." "It was Kyle Crowe." "He's the one who's corrupted her mind with visions of outside." "Possibly." "And now she's part of that virulent threat." "I know you're wondering why I have these weapons." "It was part of a cynical suspicion and impurity I could never cleanse." "I knew one day we'd need machines to fight machines." "So, I traded with some dealers in Cody for them." "That's my sin." "We'll destroy them." "When we're done." "Protect us from our enemies." "Then, we'll declare the new utopia." "Zo'or's an energy-based life-form." "I'm hoping he has enough energy to power up the basic circuits to give us enough thrust to get as far as Cody." "Naraina, I don't know how to say this any other way, but your father's a very dangerous man." "I want you and Kyle to come with me." "I don't want to go." "It's not safe for you, for any of you as long as he's in control." "We've known that for a while." "My father had the right idea." "Kyle and I still believe in it." "We're gonna make this our paradise again." "If you're gonna stay, then you and Kyle have to take control." " We know." " There's somebody coming." "Go." "I'll do what I can to help you make it." " What are you doing, Naraina?" " Following my conscience." "Letting him die doesn't change things." "They're gonna come back and destroy everything we've done?" "No, you've already destroyed it, Durrant." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Major..." " I'm going numb with no vision." " If it takes off, shoot it down." "It's not your paradise anymore." "You don't deserve it." "It's ours." "How's Zo'or?" "We had to drain all but a few sparks of his energy to get him out of there." "Fortunately, the energy state has not became subatomic." "In time, he can be fully reconstituted." "By all accounts, you endured significant danger to save Zo'or." " I couldn't just leave him there." " You perceive him to be your enemy." "A Taelon would make a simple calculation." "The greater good is best served by letting your enemy perish." "Zo'or told me the same thing." "But humans have an old saying:" ""Keep your friends close,"" ""but keep your enemies closer"." "Curious." "The wisdom of that must get lost in translation." "Subtitled by Axarion"
