Nut?

We have all the nuts we need in the Russian council.

Smerdyakov.

You have the merchandise?

What a world it has become, eh, comrade?

One day I am the elite of the human species

and Nobel prize winning scientist...

And now I am reduced to

perfecting the Taelon's virtual glass technology.

I know.

Now, do you have the virtual glass matrix data we discussed?

Who need scientists now?

The aliens give us everything.

Don't you understand?

It's the journey of discovery that makes us human!

They are taking that away form us!

Doc, listen, I'd love to sit and talk, but...

Subtitled by Axarion

They are the Companions.

Aliens come to Earth on a mission of peace.

Their true mission,

the secrets they hide, forever alter humanity.

Caught in the struggle between these Taelon Companions

and the Human Resistance is Liam Kincaid.

A man who is more than human.

The mysteries of his past hold the key to Earth's future

and the fate of mankind.

On Earth Final Conflict.

Oh, Augur...

What kind of trouble have you got yourself into now?

Since when is it a crime to offer someone a peanut?

It wasn't me, it was him!

I am loyal to my country and to the Taelons!

He forced me to steal the technology!

I was setting a trap!

Excuse me! I am an American citizen, I have rights!

I demand to see someone from the American embassy now!

No use getting yourself all worked up, comrade.

Comrade?

You almost hung me out to dry.

No, no, I simply said that...

To save your miserable behind.

Okay, calm down.

Augur, Augur, Augur. think, think, think.

You've got yourself out of worse messes. Think...

Okay, there's Kabul and the firing squad, but...

You got the Afghans to let you go?

Not exactly, no.

The executed me, but I paid them to use blanks.

Then I had my body shipped home in a nice plush coffin.

You won't be so lucky here.

In Russia they hang you for high treason.

High treason?

What the hell are you talking about?

We just simply stole some technology. That's a white-collar crime.

My comrades consider the Taelons a national treasure.

You picked the wrong county, my friend.

But maybe you can pay them to use a frail rope.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I thought that this was a free country now.

What happened to trial by jury?

Yeah, it's true.

Every Russian is entitled to trial by jury.

Yes.

That way, when they hang us, it's all nice and democratic.

Cheers!

And you have been accused of crimes against the state.

And this court finds you guilty.

Your honor, may I approach the bench, please?

Listen, I know we can work this out, you and I.

Now...

I have vast resources back in America.

Resources I'm more than willing to share,

if you get my drift.

Is that all?

Unless you're willing to discuss the numbers right now.

You have been found guilty of high treason.

You're hereby condemned to death by hanging.

The sentence is to be carried out at sunrise. Tomorrow.

Major Kincaid, we need to talk.

Hello, Lili.

Looks like Augur's exploring his more

tame holographic fantasies these days.

I've been digitally emancipated.

The real Capt. Marquette has reprogrammed me.

Well, I guess Augur is in for a little surprise then.

Actually, he may be in for a much bigger surprise.

A business venture he was pursuing has gone desperately awry.

He needs your help immediately, in Russia.

Russia?

Look at the bright side, we'll die together.

You might not be dying at all.

The cavalry.

Not exactly.

Well, you're from the embassy, right?

Look, I don't give a damn if you're the devil himself

as long as you've got the juice to get me out of here.

As a matter of fact, I'm the only one who has the "juice" to get you out of here.

I'm all ears.

You have two options: death or cooperation.

Oh well, then I'll take cooperation.

Good choice.

Now we'll se if you have what we're looking for.

Escape is impossible.

Even if you're foolish enough to attempt it, you'll be executed on sight.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Welcome to the Taelon mother ship.

And you're telling me Augur volunteered for this program?

To be guinea pig in some Taelon experiment?

Yes, he had no other option.

He was set to be executed at sunrise, but

he was told he would be released

if he survives.

Survives what?

I can't seem to get away from you, can I, my comrade?

Smerdyakov.

And here I thought I was one of the elite.

But if they accepted you into the program,

their standards can't be very high.

To the contrary,

they recognize my great if slightly deteriorated intellect.

I wish I knew what this was really about.

You and me both.

- Welcome, volunteers. - Volunteers my a...

The rumors you have heard are true.

There is an alien race preparing to attack your world.

They are called the Jaridians.

And this Project Earth Defense

is the Taelons' attempt to prevent the extinction of the human race

at the hands of the Jaridians.

The goal of this project is to bioengineer human volunteers

into warriors capable of defeating the Jaridians.

Translation: they are using us to protect their own butts.

You will rewrite galactic history,

and always be remembered as the saviors of your race.

And we know what they do to saviors, don't we, comrade?

Yes, we do.

We're just a couple of lab rats for some Taelon experiment.

And even if we survive the experiment,

who knows what will be left of us?

What?

Are you... Are you alright?

The fruits of a life lived in excess.

Sorry, Zo'or. We're not running any mazes for you.

Of course it's his signature.

You know the circumstances. He had no choice.

Now we need to get him out of there before it's too late.

I understand.

But you are forgetting

that Augur was sentenced to death by a human court.

The existence of Zo'or's project saved his life.

There's no justification for the death penalty for his crime.

The Russian courts are responding to pressure from Zo'or to

institute these extreme penalties for crimes against the Taelons.

All I care about is getting Augur out of there.

Can you get me into the Earth Defense facility on the mother ship?

As a member of the Synod

it is my right to inspect all Taelon facilities.

I noticed you wear a ring.

Is that a gift?

Or uh... a heirloom?

Why don't I get the check?

Jason, it is you!

You survived the attack.

How did you cross over to this world?

- I'm sorry, but... - No, don't be sorry.

All that matters is that you're still...

You betrayed us!

How could you?

I'm sorry, miss, I think you have me confused with...

someone else...

Who's that?

I don't know yet, but I will.

I hope that's not the look of love in your eyes.

Come with me.

Hey, where's the old man?

- Are you alright? - Leave me alone.

Back there, at the cafe...

You reminded me of someone I knew.

A lifetime ago.

Wait.

Would you like to go for a walk?

Alright.

Now I know how Jimmy Cagney felt at the end of Angels with Dirty Faces.

Our meta-humans require the physical strength

to adapt to a newly developed Taelon implant.

But equally important

is resilient mind that can accept the new programming.

Programming for what?

To face the terrors of alien species without going mad.

Is that what they did to you?

So what you're saying that is this is some kind of cosmic IQ test?

No.

This is the first step in reprogramming your mind.

No. No! No!

I would like to begin my inspection.

Of course.

- Let me notify Zo'or... - Now.

Why are you here?

You've never inspected one of my projects before.

Now that you're the head of the Synod,

I plan to inspect all Taelon projects.

You have no jurisdiction over this project.

Jurisdiction is not an issue.

I am here to inspect and bring my findings to the Synod,

so I can argue for the determination of this project.

I am ready to start the inspection.

Shortly after arrival,

all volunteers are subjected to aggressive gene therapy

to stimulate the limbic centers of their brains.

In an attempt to arouse their buried killer instincts?

Buried?

Humanity has barely crawled out of primordial ooze, Agent Kincaid.

Your animal ancestors are closer than you realize.

So you take innocent men and women and

turn them into murderers?

We take the outcasts of human society,

and offer them a future.

We offer them, and your world, hope.

Hope?

This is a chamber of horrors.

A disgrace to all we are.

The disgrace will be when this planet falls helpless

before the Jaridian invaders.

The disgrace will be that we stood by and did nothing.

The disgrace will be the extinction of the Taelon race.

No more tests.

The initial testing is complete.

When can I fight?

We're ready to begin your preliminary implantation.

What implantation?

Don't worry, you'll remain essentially human, that much I can guarantee.

I'm ready to fight now, I don't need any implant.

The implantations will only increase your capabilities.

Believe me.

You have them too, don't you?

Yes, Augur, they did it to me.

But I'm at an advanced stage of my implantation,

I can control my aggressiveness.

I was Zo'or's first success, his prize specimen...

What the hell the matter with you?

Let's get on with it.

I don't understand this world.

People live their lives as if their future is assured.

As if tomorrow is a certainty.

Why shouldn't we?

We're living in the golden age.

Taelon arrival has assured that tomorrow will be better

and the day after that even better.

Any fool who trusts the Taelons deserves to die.

You don't trust the Taelons?

What is it about you?

You're total stranger to me yet I feel as if I know you,

as if we've met somewhere.

In another time.

In another life.

The universe is vast beyond imagining.

But maybe nature works from familiar templates.

Perhaps we met in another life.

Maybe another world.

Jason.

Don't touch me!

Looks like you need a new pickup line.

What are you doing here?

Well, actually, I'm covering for you.

Zo'or ordered us up to the mother ship immediately. Let's go.

What does Zo'or want?

Da'an's paying his surprise inspection on one of Zo'or's projects,

And Zo'or wants us up there. I'll prepare the shuttle.

No.

You gotta go find that woman.

I uh... I think I have more important things to do than...

That's an order, Captain.

Pull her DNA code from this hair sample.

Call me when you get a positive ID.

This is a preliminary procedure.

We'll know within 8 hours if your body accepts or rejects the implants.

What will these implants do?

Among other things, they'll increase your motor coordination,

and stimulate limbic portion of your brain.

The core seat of consciousness,

the part of the brain we share with reptiles.

Read a lot, do we?

No, I've just done my share of business with snakes.

Then this should be a crawl in the park for you.

5 out of 20?

And you call that an acceptable survival rate?

All I'm interested in is the Taelons' survival rate.

Our survival will come in elevating humans,

not by causing their devolution into hate filled monstrosities.

I understand this in a way that you cannot, Zo'or.

Your arrogance is as astounding as it is misplaced.

I was the one that devolved into the Atavus, not you.

Nothing good can come from us inflicting the same fate on humanity.

Your point is well-taken.

Perhaps, the wiser path is to elevate these humans

to a spiritual level where the joining with the Taelons is feasible.

Your willingness to change course

is encouraging.

I do have one concern.

When we elevate your precious humans to our spiritual level of perfection,

who will protect us from the Jaridians?

Find Major Kincaid and bring him to the chamber.

It's time we showed Da'an that 5 out of 20 is not so much an abomination

as a measure of acceptable loses.

That was quite the performance.

What do you want, Capt. Marquette?

You know exactly what is it I want.

What the hell were you doing with Sandoval back there?

I acted impulsively. It won't happen again.

It's a little bit late for that.

We have a huge problem on our hands now.

He looks exactly like my husband.

He even feels like Jason.

I really feel for you, Maiya, I do, but I won't let you to jeopardize the Liberation.

I acted on a human emotion, Captain.

Do you even understand what that is anymore?

Look, you chose to leave your Earth,

and you knew that Sandoval was the parallel version

of your husband on this Earth. You have no excuses!

Don't worry about Sandoval.

He didn't find out anything about me.

And he never will.

I assume you have DNA codes back on your Earth.

Wake up, Maiya,

that man won't sleep until he finds you.

You'd better have a damn good reason for being in here.

Agent Liam Kincaid, protector to Da'an, the American Companion.

Yes.

I imagined Da'an would've appointed a new protector by now.

Were you involved in the search for a replacement?

No.

But I'm acquainted with Da'an.

And his former protector.

Da'an requested that I observed the new implant procedure.

You're too late. The procedure's complete.

But you're just in time for the recovery.

Oh, the power!

Flying through every cell in my body!

My thoughts... Such clarity!

I know why you volunteered, Lazarus.

I have no fear.

Nothing can stop me!

Are you acquainted with the subject, Major?

Only by reputation.

I've been studying the dossiers on all the volunteers.

Zo'or wants us to report to him

in the chamber.

The chamber?

The moment of truth.

When we'll find out if Augur here is that we hoped for.

I just don't have a devious mind like Augur's.

I'm never gonna be able to create for you a false identity that Sandoval will buy.

You call yourself a soldier?

Come up with a different tactic.

An intelligent soldier never would've put us in this position to begin with.

When Liam and Augur came into our dimension,

they found counterparts from many people in this world.

You came here from a parallel dimension.

So... so you might have a counterpart in this dimension?

that's definitely a possibility.

So far that's all it is.

Okay.

the computer's doing a search for matches from all known databanks across the world.

The next phase is to test the physical limits of the implant.

You'll be paired against another recent implant.

Bring him on.

What are they seeing?

The enemy.

Our mutual enemy.

To be effective a fighter has to be able to reason.

You've induced such a high level of rage in these men,

that they can't possibly think straight.

This program is our only hope against the Jaridians.

Those of us who completed this training understand this.

You've endured this process and remain convinced of its necessity?

Yes, I do.

That will be enough.

Lazarus.

Not bad for a vodka swilling old man, eh, comrade?

- Smerdyakov. - I was dying.

They transplanted my consciousness to this body and implanted me.

Look at me!

I am invincible!

I can kill!

The body's rejecting the implant.

Help him!

Your implants are failing, aren't they?

Who am I?

You don't know?

Only that we have a connection.

Zo'or had no right to do this.

No one should have to suffer the way you have.

But I have suffered.

And I feel your pain as if it were my own.

That doesn't change anything.

Can you ever forgive us?

Us?

No.

Only you.

Isabel Martinez, born in Madrid, Spain, 1983.

Doctoral student of Cultural Anthropology.

Currently doing field work with the Guaica,

an aboriginal group in the Amazon Basin.

Looks like we caught ourselves a lucky break.

I take it we're not in the Amazon Basin.

Let me put it this way.

Sandoval not gonna be accidently running into

this woman in any cafes.

Do you know this woman?

No, why would I?

How much did Liam and Augur tell you about their tour to my world?

Everything I needed to know.

When the shuttle's interdimensional drive was ruptured they were thrust

into another dimension, a parallel version of Earth. Why?

So you know that everyone in your world has a counterpart in mine?

Yeah, apparently my counterpart is a big Taelon supporter.

I even led the Taelon assault against humanity.

What was my name? Kayla?

Kayla is my sister.

I... I don't have a sister.

You are not my sister.

I'm not saying that.

You and I are from different dimensions, so

obviously we are not tied by blood, but...

But what you're saying is that

because you and my counterpart in your world are sisters,

then me and this woman are sisters?

I'm not saying anything.

I just thought you should know.

Lazarus.

My little friend.

You finally...

came to your senses.

Just in time for your to destroy this ship using your virtual glass technology.

The Jaridians killed Smerdyakov.

And I think they should be wiped out. Now!

This isn't you, Augur, this is some program they've got you running.

You know me. Let me break the program and set you free.

Make him understand who you are, it's the only way to save him.

Trust me.

Don't fight, Augur. Look at me!

Remember who I am and what your life is.

Turn your eyes inward and look

at wild, unreasoning hatred in you. They implanted that in you.

It is me, it's what I wanna be now!

Take your soul back.

That was definitely a rush.

Hey.

What about this thing?

Well,

you could always keep it as a badge of honor.

I was never really into body piercing, my friend.

You broke through your programming.

How?

We isolate our subjects from anyone close to them.

It makes it easier for the implant of rage to take hold.

When the subject looses his identity to the rage,

it's almost impossible to bring him back.

What brought you back?

My connection to Da'an. Like Augur's connection to you.

How are you connected to Da'an?

Easy, easy.

And they say the Taelon virtual glass is indestructible.

But

all glass can crack.

There's a shuttle in docking bay 3. Can you fly it out?

Sure, assuming my flight simulation actually prepared me to pilot a shuttle.

What do you want me to do? Just walk in and fly one out here? Come on.

Let's just say that in a few seconds everyone will be distracted.

Don't worry.

I've deleted your records.

Russia never happened.

Good.

Liam.

Was good to see you again, Augur.

- Again? What do you... - Go.

Find your moment and get the hell out here.

You say you're connected to Da'an, and now Augur.

What the hell is going on?

Don't concern yourself with me.

Find Da'an and get him off the ship.

- We can help you. - I don't want your help.

Bingo.

I love that American expression.

There has been a breach in integrity of the mother ship's virtual glass barrier.

What caused the breach?

The virtual glass matrix has been reprogrammed.

By whom?

Unknown.

If the virtual glass shell is breached

all personnel on board will be pulled off the ship and into space.

I recommend immediate evacuation.

Who would have the expertise to reprogram the virtual glass matrix?

Only the most senior of the engineering staff.

But it's inconceivable that any Taelon would sabotage the ship.

Then it must be one of the human crew.

Impossible.

No human has such knowledge.

Prepare the cruiser for our evacuation.

That's not a part of my plan.

You've taken everything away form me.

Time to repay the favor.

Virtual glass breach in 2 minutes.

So Liam risked his life to save me.

But who asked him?

I'm gonna hate myself for this.

If I live.

So much as a flinch and I'll kill Zo'or now.

As much as I'd hate missing him squirm.

I told you to find Da'an and get out of here!

There're innocent people on board, Lazarus.

There's no need for them to die.

You are confused. A problem with your implants.

We can correct you.

Correct me?

You've already taken away my memories, my life.

The problem is clouding your...

Shut up!

30 seconds.

Let's go.

20 seconds.

Okay, let see if my hunch was right.

15 seconds.

I knew it.

I'd recognize your handiwork anywhere.

Who are you?

5 seconds.

Sorry, Smerdyakov, I'm just too pretty to die.

2 seconds.

The matrix has been restored.

Now, this is the fun part.

Or maybe not.

I'm sorry, Sandoval, but I interviewed the professor

and this seems to be her pattern.

What pattern?

She's not big on commitment.

I wanna talk to her. Where's she?

Well, according to her professor, her field work could take anywhere.

He's never exactly sure where she is.

Keep looking.

I thought your CVI was supposed to protect you from this kind of obsession.

You heard me, Captain.
