"Previously on Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict" "Renee Palmer knows more about Taelon business than I do" "This is unacceptable." "24 western leaders took a secret vote... and said yes to humanity last week in Bruxells" "We can take the planet back." "What if the taelons can battle our feelings... put in our heads what we've always believed came from our hearts" "Synthetic love?" "It is essential that I know the power of human survival instinct." "Kill or be killed, I felt it." "You are an abomination to the communality" "Before you pass judgement..." "I challenge you to feel this power that I have felt." "Open the door!" "." "." "." "." "." "He's ready." ""Don't move!"" "Renee... it's Richard." "I'm in Bosnia." "Please you've got to get me out of here." "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" "Synchro:" "Shann'auc." "Transcription:" "jrzac / Kulmai / Greatouille / LB" "The fate of humanity now relies... on those who dare challenge the future... of Earth." "Renee, it's Richard." "I'm in Bosnia." "Please you've got to get me out of here" "His global lost video but it pull down a GPS fix." "Two miles south of Banja Luka in a disputed zone." "No need GPS just find me the worst hell hole the planet that's where he'll be the idiot." "OK, calm down, you know it's rough." "He's my kid brother, Liam." "This is as calm as I gonna be." "Bosnia, God." "This area is run by a warlord name Leko Keglevic was in a Bosnian prison for genocide now he's loose." "I'm going after him." "It should be easy enough, I'll drop a shuttle behind their lines." "There's no-one in charge." "No peace keepers, nothing, I can't ask you to do this with me." "You don't have to." "We go there together... and we'll bring him back." "The importation of human emotions is a foolish endeavor." " Even dangerous." " Foolish?" "You treat the creatures as equals." "Have you never wished to feel as they do?" "No." "But I have witnessed the damage done by your incessant attempts." "Why pursue this Zo'or?" "Because emotion may be their most valuable quality." "Tangled somewhere down in their limbic system, is one set of emotions they call:" ""joie de vivre"" "A passion for life." "From this they drive a fear survival instinct." "I know of it." "Then you also know that it sometimes allows them to survive searching death." "Yes... a quality of their species to be most admired." "Especialy by another species that is dying with such unemotional certainty." "One of us must try an import this passion for life." "It could be our salvation." "I will not be your experiment Zo'or." "Regardless... the question is moot." "Renee Palmer has withdrawn the patented devices to make it possible." "I love doing business in this place." "I do so, definitely run with all the expense account." "Until the essence project is completed... the mothership is too close from earth for us to work." "Keglevic wants his next payment." "Perfect damn rounds... created by taelon pressure fusion technique which they don't seem to think much of." "Interesting." "Is Palmer be in a touch?" "His sister want to have a meeting with Da'an today." "I think she got the message." "Take Keglevic's fee." "Tempt to keep it simple." "We're after the Doors patents and this is opening act." "Tempt to have a good war, and we'll see him, as a victory prey." "I love the prey." "We got to be in the Richard's global frequency." "If it still is." "Masks are on." "Inducing the distortion field." "keep some ground and cover." "That way." "Renee!" "Renee here!" "I'm here." "Richard." " Richard" " I knew you come." "I'm sorry to ask you to do this." "There's no time for that now." "You'll be safe as soon as we gotta you out of here." "I hear them, let's go." " Is anything broken, can you stand?" " I am too weak." "Polyphenol." "Come on let's get you up." "Let's move Renee, right now!" "Go, I cover you, go, go!" "Well done Leko, well done." "Even, I believed." "It's Tate." "Phase two complete." "Got a bargain for some goulash?" "Well, may I bring you some?" "." "Delightful weather in the MidWest, showers in the southern states but the draught conditions will still plague in florida, look like it'll last at least another few weeks." "It's ok." "Dr Swanson would like to try a sleep study." "One without sedatives." "I don't think he'll have much to study, I don't really sleep without the pills." "I know. but he thinks that may be part of the problem." "Without REM sleep beyond dream." "And it's better if your subconscious can work this out somehow." "I know, easy for me to say." "Look!" "You gonna be allright" "I can't eat..." "I can't sleep... and I can't leave this room." "I think I'm as bad off as it gets." "Would it help if you told me about any of it." "You mean uh..." ""The talking cure"" "But that make my therapist really happy." "Well, the story is simply enough." "It was... a nice spring day, we were... heading to refugee camp with a lot of food and help." "I was in the lead truck." "If only I'd be more awake, I could hear the sharks ***" "I could have see them, I could gotten us off the road." " I could have done something." " No!" "No, you can't blame yourself..." "You were surrounded, unarmed." "I've to blame myself." "My team trusted me" "They get *** out there, there's no one else to blame." "You just need perspective... time to forget." "You're right, you're right, I just need to..." "It's ok, it's ok." "Look at me!" "They're screaming, they screaming, I hear they're screaming." "Oh God!" "Come on, Richard." "I'm gonna get the doctor." "Ok?" "They still scream, I hear they're screaming." "I know, I get the Dr. ok?" "It's ok." " Allright Buck" " OK." "How're you doin'?" "Randy, what... it's a coincidence or you want to see me?" "No, no, I heard." "I'm sorry about your brother, about Richard." "I hope you know that I consider you a friend, despite our differences." " Yeah thanks." " And I hope you undestand when I say..." "I believe I can give your brother a fighting chance that medicine can never give him." "I can't believe this, you go right for the jugular, don't you?" " Still trying to get my patents!" " Just listen..." "All modern psychology can do is treat your brother with massive sedatives." "Yes ok, better than we have ten years ago,... but they're slow and there's no guaranty they're work." "Now, you saw my reports." "You know I've been able to achieve positive results on cases that everyone else consider beyond hope." "It uses taelon technology." "Only a small amount, it mostly realise on the Doors, ***." "'cause it's against everything I believe Randy." "You said it yourself:" "in time we can wipeout the taelon tech... but until then we need that, to jump start the system." "Now I can help your brother." "But not without your help." "Tell me again... exactly how it works." "Richard is in a state of total pathological terror." "My process system allow me to literally remove his fear, you know yourself what uh... 20, 25% of pitiest cases never fully recover." "I can bring that figure down to zero." " Let me get back to you, ok?" " Yeah, of course." "Obviously you have to do what you feel is right." "I know your politics, hell..." "I even agree with most of them, but... right now we're not talking politics, this is family." "I require your participation in Zo'or's essence project." "I cannot do that." "I am opposed to its very concept." "Yes, but who knows?" "The project may even give you the satisfaction you find in your drug." "I can get the kryss." "As much as you need." "You have to decide what you want most." "Integrity... or peace." "I came across a human face the other day." "Choose your poison... the choice you speak of is really no choice at all." "We are an ironic people." "Liam has good news, tell him." "Renee said that you were worried about your refugee task force team, so I did some reseach." "Your all team, every last member is safe." "I mean held... in a prisoner exchange camp in Montenegro, here." "That's not possible." "That's a lie." "I saw them, I saw them shot at the prison." " It isn't a prison." " What?" "The building is an old abandonned soap factory." "No evidence Keglevic was in running a prison there." "I saw my team from my cell window..." "They got placed up against the wall... and they were executed, one by one." "So I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry but I saw them die, and it is my fault..." "And nothing you can say, no lies you tell me, would change that." "In a few days..." "They'll be exchanged for bosnian prisoners." "They'll be free." "You can talk to them yourself You'll can see that they're alive." "Don't give me this false hope because you gonna find out you're wrong, I've seen them die a thousand times." "I'll never be free of that." "There is a way that I can help you." "I'm making arrangements on something right now." "Trust me, this will all be over." "I promise." "Promise." "Ok, we're ready." "Hi Richard, how are you feeling?" "I'm ok, I think that's my sister is rack." "You saw those tapes on our earlier test before we shut down." "I saw them with him, and I have to say there're really impressive." "Including the follow-ups." "Of course that was only elective personnality modification more love less hate more ambition less envy." "The results here should be more spectacular." "How's your neural amplification?" "It's a bit overwhelming..." "I think I can hear my hair growing." "Give me a neural ridge." "It's a necessary preparation, that procedure requires the replacement of the neural transmitters and a side effect is to expand the perceptions." "It's transient, it passes as soon as you're under the scope." " Ready?" " I guess so." "It's gonna be a piece of cake, I'll see you on the other side." "You bet." "30%." "40." "This is an override." "What's going on?" "It's normal for the neural amplication to crest." "I...gonna wait outside." "Subject is stable, we're ready to begin the emotional drain." "Proceed, inform me as soon as I can make delivery." "Richard is doing very well." "He needs no more sedatives or chemical cocktails to balance his emotions." "So he's stable balanced." "You'll be pleased with his progress." "Randy I can't thank you enough." "Just go see him..." "Enjoy having him back that's thanks enough." "You're eating, that's great." "Ready to live." "You made a real turnaround." "Yes, I have." "Good." "That's good." "What about the anxiety in dreams?" "Gone." "That's... that's wonderful, what a relief!" "You're blocking the screen." "Sorry." "Liam has something to tell you." "Liam, you wanna get in here?" "They tell me you doin' great!" "Yes, I'm fine, why do I have to keep repeating myself?" "Well I comfirm that your team will be released from the Red Cross camp in two weeks." "I'm gonna bring them here, how that's sound?" "My team is dead, the rest is history." "I don't want to talk about it." "What do you want to talk about?" "During my treatment I heard that voice again..." "From Keglevic's prison." "When they thought that I passed out." "It was the only voice in english." "Must to be in memory." "No, no, I heard a thing coming out the speaker..." "You've gonna find out who that is." "We can look into the data logs." "Do it." "Sure." "Sure, if make you feel better I get you a copy." "I want a full analysis on Randy's earlier tests." "See if he fits the pattern." "You get me the records, I could run a pattern and vector on Augur's computers." "He's ice-cold Randy, he's like he's full of tranquilizer or something." "It's a transition of phase, he is compensating for having less fear, he's off balance you can imagine." "No, no, I can't imagine." "Emotionally my brother **** **** as is he could never keep his feeling under wraps." "He is an emotional person." "I'd expect him he'll show some kind of relief." "It'll come... that's why we want to move the procedure along in series of multiple treatment so he can get pass this stage quickly." "No, we should take this slowly." "It's untested." "It's very tested." "Review the reports if you want." "Nothing happened with your brother's procedure that didn't happened with the first one hundred people before you shot me down." "And Richard has already consented to more treatments." "Wait!" "He's in no condition to make that kind of decision." " Look, I'm his sister I can wish to..." " And, because you are his sister... you're a very important part of his life." "You cannot make Richard's decision for him." "Only he knows what's the best for his own peace of mind,... and we all have to respect that." "I have reconsidered my decision concerning the essence project." "Yes." "Why?" "My knowledge of human foibles will assist in the importation of emotion from Human to Taelon." "I see, then your decision is well-timed." "Mister Elston!" "Pure human essence." "Richard Palmer's electro-chemical basis for fear and love crystallized in a form that Taelons can ingest." "Why fear and love?" "I believe the objective of this experiment is the human passion for life." "A complex emotion Da'an." "A blend." "One we must achieve in stages and one I can assure you, Mr Palmer possesses in rare quantity." "He's been tested, rigorously." "The perfect subject in fact." "His test also up obtain the patents his sister was withholding." "I salute your coning." "We shall continue side feeding off Mr Palmer's essence... until we can provide you with every emotion he has." "That one must be sacrificed for the sake of many is a noble end." "We must look to the past for our future." "After all it has only been a few millenia since we had these emotions of our own." "No!" "No!" "Take it away!" "Proceed, inform me as soon as I can make delivery." "That's him." "And you know who he is, I can see it on your his face." "You're sure you heard that voice with Leko Keglevic." "I mean you only heard it once." "You don't forget, not with they do what they did to me." "Who is it?" "That's the man in charge of the Companion Protector Service." "And a senior the FBI official, my boss..." "Special Agent Ronald Sandoval." "Proceed, inform me as soon as I can make delivery." "Proceed, inform me as soon as I can make delivery." "You wish to see me, Da'an." "Yes." "When we last met you harbored deep reservations about Mr Elston's process... but you employed it to cure your brother." "I was concerned." "Thank you." "My brother is improved." "I was concerned about you." "I know you to be a person of passionate convictions." "Are you not conflicted?" "I am... but because I love my brother I put those con..." "Is there a problem?" "I have an unrational worry, we have been observed." "There seems to be no basis." "Do you know this feeling?" " In humans we call it paranoia." " Paranoia!" "A fear based emotion, the opposit of love." "Love for your brother, which is not romantic love." "Is it not chaotic?" "Very!" "Da'an, why are we talking about this?" "I esteem your opinion, beyond most..." "Because of this love you have for your brother you have acted against your beliefs." "This is similar to what I feel about my family and friends who... who may not survive their energy stasis." "I ain't heard about that!" "Taelon lives are so... valuable... so fragile." "We are near the end." "I have four children aboard the mothership barely living in embryonic tubes." "I fear I shall never see them again." "I shouldn't be telling you this, but..." "I feel I can trust you." "It's very flattering" "To lose your family is..." "unimaginable." "Thank you for listening Renee." "I feel much better." "Come in." "You send for me Richard?" "Yes it's true." "Could we have some light?" "What did you do to yourself?" "Let me see your arm." "The Bosnians get me awake for ten days." "After two it takes an amazing amount of effort." "freezing water, scolding water... a good beating." "If I fell asleep, I was in for it." "This is how I stayed awake." "This is how I survived." "You see the pain... was the only thing that was mine." "Do you know why?" "We need to bandage that arm." "Do you know why?" "Why?" "So that I can have my revenge." "We will talk about this in the morning." "I send a nurse for your arm." "I wouldn't touch the door if I were you" "It's up to the highvoltage drives in the TV." "That's 30 000 volts ***" "Bad news." "It's someone I want you call, and I want you'll wait him over, tonight." "Tell me the last time you heard a Taelon talk about being afraid." "Well, never fear is an emotion it's not taelon." "Or maybe it is now..." "and love." "Da'an was just telling me how much he loves his children... he was holding my hand." "It's bizarre." "That doesn't sound right." "I run a pattern vectors on Elston's early tests." "It looks odd." " That something's wrong somewhere." " Well I didn't you say it wasn't..." "He run a test in VA. hospitals, cracked into their patient database." "Six of the people he run test on don't show up in the *** four of them are dead, two were sent to psychiatric wards." "After emotion modification." "What's wrong with them?" "The ones who survived." "Clinically is called flat and affect." "Usually it's a symptom of schizophrenia." "Turn to lack of emotions, no feelings for anyone." " Like Richard." " Yeah." "Now worst part it is..." "Sandoval is in it up to his neck." "Richard." "I should not've told him." "Booby trap!" "We got to find him." " Was Richard ever violent before?" " Never, he was inapt." "Or at least it was in balance with the other emotions." "Elston's process has drawn all that out the wack." "It's taelon technology whenever we use it without paying the price for something they want." "Liam." " He's alive." "His pulse is ***." " We could wake him up." "Richard's out of control we can't afford to wait." "Wake up!" "Where is he, where is Richard?" "Did he do this to you?" "He wanted me to call..." "your bother wanted Sandoval." "He wanted what?" "He wanted to take him, where?" "Here." "I can imagine." "I wonder just how much neural amplication one man can tolerate." "They didn't left the building." "It's the ward down below." "I don't know why you're doing this." "Sure you do... you were there when Keglevic's men worked on me." "I heard you." "You said "He's ready"." "Ready for what?" "To be released." "I was there to arrange for your release but you ran." "I couldn't help you." "See what happens when I crack this thing up on the way." "Wai-wai-wait!" "Look at you!" "Look what you're doing." "No, you look at me Sandoval." "You're only looking in a mirror, you created yourself." "Richard... don't" "But he's not dead yet." "You can't kill him like this, it's wrong." "Don't do it." "You're acting like there's something wrong with me." "But there isn't." " I'm free." " It's not true." "There's no freedom here." "They removed your emotions, it's made you irrational." "You mean I'm crazy." "You doubt it." "This is the man responsible for my torment." "I'm simply settling score." "I have just as much reason to hate him as you do, believe me." "But I can't let you kill him." "If he was there in Bosnia then it's all a setup." "If it was his voice... you heard talking to Elston, they'll be using both of us." " So then help me." "Help me do it." " I can't kill him like this." "Someday he may give me a chance to do it, but not like this." "Move away from the table." "Actually I think you might shoot me." "Probably should shoot your own brother." "I imagine how it make you feel terrible." "Yes." "Yes it would." "Don't you feel anything?" "Not really." "Not anymore." "All I feel is hate, for this man" "So walk away, walk away, we can fix this." "We can get you back to the way you were." "I doubt it." "It's really not such a bad, way to be Renee?" "It's very clear." "Very clear." "Now I will kill Sandoval for what he did to me." "If I have to kill you first, I will Renee." "Honestly." "Richard wait...try and remember." "Like when we were kids." "You stole Richard's emotions." "Now he's nothing but a shell." "Consumed with hatred ungoverned by any other feeling." "You." "I wish you taken an overdose ever more." "You should be begging for forgiveness." "I feel confusion." "Fear of punishment,... and sadness at your anger and contempt, and regret." "What a waste!" "What a failure!" "Taelons can no more be sane with selected emotions than human can without them." "Da'an, give Richard back his emotions." "They have no use to you." "How could you be sure your brother will be able to recover?" "I have to hope that he can, that's all." "Tell me about hope." "You wanna the will to live?" "Hope is what that's all about." "It's a belief, it pulses through." " And love?" " Love?" "Is... softness, unequivocal and necessary because we need it to survive." "Even when hope fades, love makes us reach out to someone and take that one last risk" "It's the greatest emotion that we have." "I know." "Da'an, if you feel anything at all, if you feel anything for me... please use that emotion to make Richard all." "There is a way to recover, what has been taken." "Team's pretty happy about coming home." "I bet." "You've got a story for them." "Yeah, Actually no, I think I might wait a while to tell them." "I got a couple more sessions than Elston has be back to normalcy." "Yeah." "I just wish we didn't have to trust him with this." "Believe me as soon as he's done I'm pulling back the pantents." "He won't need them in jail." "And Sandoval?" "He is a... special case, *** with the devil you know." "He's got no idea how we got in that *** room." "And *** *** *** give up his private records" "Now we need Sandoval to think he's still in business" "For now!" "He should be dead." "I mean if it sort out of me." "If he had ** **, I would kill him." "I wasn't thinking rationally, because YOU haven't have the choice." "So I got a little emotional ok." "So you got a little emotional." "My big sister, that's so not like you." "At moments, just don't get too use to it... buddy." "Ok buddy." "_^^^^_ (o . o) ( - )"
