I'm the Chief Protector
of the Taelon delegation.

I'm giving you 5 seconds
to get out of my way.

I don't care who you are.

We still have our rights as
free citizens in a free country!

Five.

These are the images that Doors' campaign
is putting out to the American people.

It's beginning to affect public opinion,
and Doors is taking full advantage of it.

But these images have
been taken out of context.

They do not represent
both sides of the issue.

Geez, you guys really
are from another planet.

So glad you could
join us, Major Kincaid.

This is Mr. Wagner.

He will be helping us to counter the
lies being spread by Jonathan Doors.

- You hired a Spin Doctor.
- I prefer, "image advisor".

And how, in your opinion, do we
improve this image, Mr. Wagner?

First off, Agent Sandoval, you might want
to try keeping a slightly lower profile.

Secondly, I need to
reposition your whole agenda.

We need something
warmer, more accessible.

And how would you
accomplish that, Mr. Wagner?

This is Abby Franklin.

She won a Pulitzer for her
reporting in the SI War.

I want her to do some
interviews, tour the mother ship.

Give her some images
Doors can't compete with.

Have you actually seen her show?
She's just a tabloid journalist.

She's high profile, and pro-Taelon.

We can use her.

You may make the
necessary arrangements.

Ms. Franklin.

Please, Abby.

Ronald Sandoval.
Welcome to the mother ship.

I've never been in space before.

- Thank you, that was quite a ride!
- My pleasure.

Follow me.

So, when do I get my
sit-down with Da'an and Zo'or?

Ms. Franklin.

- We don't allow...
- Full access, remember?

Certainly.

Da'an and Zo'or are anxious to
meet you as soon as possible.

So, Capt. Marquette, what's it like
working so closely with the Taelons?

- That's a pretty broad question.
- Have to start somewhere.

I mean, do you have any insights
as to who they really are?

Isn't it obvious who they really are?

Okay, Agent Sandoval,

you're responsible for
Taelon security here on Earth.

I wonder if you're concerned about
this so called Resistance movement?

I think we're all confused as to what
exactly these people are resisting.

Well, I'd be interested as to your
view on the upcoming elections.

I'm also interested, Ms. Franklin.

Is this a casual conversation
or will my answers be considered

part of your official interview?

It is a pleasure to welcome
you as our guest, Ms. Franklin.

Thank you.

I am honored to be the first
journalist to visit the mother ship.

I also look forward to our
discussion, Ms. Franklin.

Well,

this looks to be a win-win
situation all around.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Status report!

Navigation is offline.

What the hell's going on?
Communication's out all over the ship.

We're entering interdimensional space!

And that's not where
we're supposed to be?

Ms. Franklin, if you don't mind!

All instruments confirm
we're at maximum velocity.

How can this be?

The ship's navigational
commands have been reprogrammed.

- We're locked out.
- That is impossible.

I am the only one with the proper access
codes to initiate such an override.

Not anymore, somebody
else has gained access.

New coordinates have been
downloaded into the computer core.

You mean, we've been hijacked?

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.

We must stop this ship.

Your insight into the
obvious is appreciated, Da'an.

You misunderstand. We must stop the
ship by whatever means necessary.

Even if it requires the
ejection of the ID engine core.

That would strand us in ID space!

Better that than have our
interdimensional technology

fall into the hands of our enemies.

This is premature.

We do not even know who has
compromised our computer systems.

It is surely not the
work of our allies!

We must act quickly,
Zo'or, and decisively.

We have now been in ID space long
enough to enter contested territory.

We must stop the ship.

Do you concur?

I am considering your suggestion.

There is no time. Prepare to
jettison the ID engine core.

- Zo'or?
- Please, Agent Sandoval,

this is beyond their
field of expertise.

I am a member of the Synod. Your CVI
imperative compels you to obey me!

As a member of the Synod,

Da'an has the authority.

On your command.

Prepare for ejection.

1.

Initiating a ship-wide
diagnostic scan.

We must determine who gained access
the ship's navigational computer.

I already have a full
assessment under way.

Do not be alarmed, we shall
return to Earth shortly.

The ship's systems are
operational but barely,

everything is running at minimum
levels, including life support.

External scan results
are coming in now.

Stand away from the console, Major.

- Sandoval...
- Are you crazy?!

Please, explain
yourself, Agent Sandoval.

This is from the
ship's security cameras.

Recorded just before
we enter ID space.

As you can clearly
see, it was the Major

who reprogrammed the ship's
navigational computer.

How long have you been a member
of the Resistance, Major Kincaid?

- That's not me.
- Really?

The security cameras clearly
prove you are the saboteur.

There must be some other explanation.

You were in the engine room.

You tampered with the
navigational computer.

No.

Then where were you while
this was taking place?

On my way to the bridge.

Of course, no crew member saw you?

Liam, why?

Agent Sandoval, take Major Kincaid to
a holding cell and confine him there.

What's gonna happen to him?

We do not yet know all the facts.

We have been deeply troubled
for several months now,

by the actions of a
few misguided humans

who wish to destroy what humans
and Taelons have created together.

It is apparent that Major Kincaid

has allowed himself to be
influenced by this element.

But isn't Major Kincaid
a Companion Protector?

Yes...

He was.

So, Lili, why would Kincaid
do something like this?

- He wouldn't and he didn't.
- All evidence to the contrary.

No. No, Major Kincaid is
an outstanding officer.

He's honest, and capable, and
most of all he's loyal.

What are you doing, you filming this?

Well, it's part of history.

I, um, I get the impression
that you two are close.

Yeah, we're close... We're friends.
Not that it's any of your business.

No, no, I get it. I can see
why you'd wanna protect him.

Look, apparently you do not get
it. This isn't about a romance.

What is it with you?

Don't you realize you stand a very
good chance of dying here today?

- You wished to see me?
- Indeed.

I have not yet had the opportunity
to question Major Kincaid.

Such a conversation is not necessary.

I do not understand.

For some time now, I have tolerated
your separateness of thought

on the matter of the humans.

Now, however, the situation
has become less tolerable.

I fail to see how Major
Kincaid's actions would...

You fail to see all too often Da'an!

- That is your greatest weakness.
- My weakness?

You have failed in your duties
as the North American Companion.

You have failed as a member of the
Synod, and you have failed your race.

The treachery of your hand
picked protector is all I need

to have you removed as the
North American Companion.

and from the Synod.

Assuming, of course, that we even
survive our current predicament,

for which you are also responsible.

Report, Captain.

We're trapped in some
kind of an anomaly.

When we ejected the
ID engine core the...

the fabric of ID space
was somehow altered.

The ejection of the ID core while in ID
space has never before been attempted.

Da'an knew this, but chose to
order the action regardless.

We had no choice.

So, you're saying we're lost?

That's what I'm saying,
but it gets worse than that.

You see, this, this anomaly,
for lack of a better description,

- Is like a dead pocket of space.
- Like a black hole?

No, I'm not registering any
gravity or radiant energy.

In fact, I'm reading
a total lack of energy.

- So, how do we break free?
- We don't. Not right now.

This anomaly is leaching energy
from virtually every system on board.

When will the drain become critical?

It's already critical. I'm
just trying to compensate.

I'm dismayed to discover that Zo'or's
long-held suspicions about you are true.

Yeah, I can tell it's
really tearing you up inside.

No, Major.

I wanna help you.

Give me the names of your
friends in the Resistance.

Something I can bring to Zo'or,
so you may avoid rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation...

Taelon style.

And exactly what style
is that, Agent Sandoval?

I am interrogating
the prisoner, Da'an.

That will be all, Agent Sandoval.

- But Da'an...
- I said...

that will be all.

I wish to speak to
Major Kincaid alone.

As you wish.

I believed

that you and I had
established an understanding.

Perhaps, even a friendship.

A friendship based on
mutual trust and respect.

Your trust was not misplaced, Da'an.

Whoever is on that video
recording, it's not me.

Then who is it?

Tell me how this impostor boarded
the ship and where is he now?

I don't know.

But I can't find out while
I'm trapped inside here.

You have placed me in a
very difficult situation.

If the Synod learns that I
concealed the truth of your identity,

and your relationship
with the Resistance,

I will be held accountable.

I trusted you to keep
that secret, Da'an.

Now you have to trust me.

Report, please, Captain.

The inertial dampeners have stabilized
and we just lost main life support.

- I'm switching to emergency backup.
- Are we are under attack?

No, it's the anomaly. If we
don't stop this energy drain,

we're gonna lose life
support altogether.

You must get the conventional
drive back online, immediately.

That is your first priority.

How long can last
without life support?

- A couple of hours best on backups.
- We must return to Earth!

Look, this ship isn't going anywhere until
we get the primary systems back up online!

This is intolerable!

All this high-tech
equipment, and all I'm hearing

is that we're doomed
and gonna die out here!

Mr. Wagner!

It's okay, I'll talk to him.

I need to check the
relays in section 6,

and see if I can route more
power back to life support.

I'll be as quick as I can.

And you're always telling
me to cool my jets!

What the hell were you thinking?

You can't believe
I'd sabotage the ship.

Then why don't you tell me
what exactly is going on.

While the ship was being hijacked,

I was downloading the Taelon
password list for Augur,

same as I do every month. Not
really an ideal alibi, though.

Okay, I like it.

But can you prove it if you have to?

Check my global.

- The password is Mulder-1.
- You're kidding!

Okay, so, if you were downloading...

Who was stealing the
ship? Good question.

Let me out so I can find the answer.

Any idea how we're gonna
explain your escape to Zo'or?

Nothing else on the ship was working.

I guess the energy on the
force field went down too.

I like it. Oh, Liam, just
try to stay out of sight.

- How did you get out?
- You gotta believe me.

They are framing me.

Abby, he's trying to
kill me. Grab his gun!

- Get back!
- Don't!

That's not Wagner.

Stop right there. How did you free
yourself from the holding cell?

Probably another system's failure,
everything is fading so fast.

Are you responsible for this as well?

Sorry to disappoint
you, but it was Wagner.

He's a replicant.
A Jaridian replicant.

That's who impersonated
me on the security monitor.

But you destroyed the replicant
when it landed on Earth.

We never did find the delivery
system, there may have been more.

A replicant, is that
what killed Quo'on?

Yes.

A few months ago a Jaridian
replicant landed on Earth.

We did not wish to alarm the human
community by making this public knowledge.

Well, on behalf of
humanity, I'm damn alarmed!

If it is indeed a replicant, and it assumed
your identity, you would be dead, Major.

It didn't kill me, because
it didn't have to scan me.

If it's tapped into the
ship's security database,

it already has access to the DNA
patterns of everyone on board this ship.

It could be masquerading as anyone.

The energy drain has left our
security scanners virtually useless.

We can't track an intruder.

Zo'or, we cannot allow the replicant

to assume the identity
of one of our volunteers.

I agree.

I will have all those who have not been with
us on the bridge confined to their quarters.

Why is this replicant doing
this? What does it want?

- And why hasn't it attacked us directly?
- If the Jaridians plan to use this ship,

they're going to need a crew
to tell them how to fly it.

We need conventional
drive back online.

I'll see what's still
working in the engine room.

How do we know you are
not the replicant, Major?

Because I have it all cued up.

The video images appear to
confirm Major Kincaid's identity.

Hey, I'm coming with you!

I don't think that's a good idea.

This replicant is news,
that's why I'm here.

Besides, you need someone
to watch your back.

Someone you know isn't the replicant.

So, why haven't the Taelons told
us more about these replicants?

They pose an incredible danger
to both Taelons and humans.

You've answered your own question.

Can you picture the
headlines and the talk shows?

"Is your boyfriend a
replicant? Stay tuned!"

- Not very good PR for the Taelons.
- So why have you kept quiet?

- I work for the Taelons.
- Yes, for almost a year.

I did some research on you, Major.

Well, freedom of the press is still
guaranteed by the Constitution.

So it is. Unfortunately, my
freedom in your personal history

doesn't make for an
interesting reading.

Well, I'm sorry I couldn't
be more entertaining.

Oh, your military record
is quite impressive,

especially your service
during the SI War.

But after that it just
seems to be a blank slate.

It seems that Liam Kincaid is a
most loyal and capable Protector.

But your Mr. Wagner
was in fact a scout

sent by our enemy.

A fascinating turn of events.

What are you hiding?

Are the Taelons preventing
you from speaking?

What else haven't they told us?

You're a human, you have a
responsibility to your species.

My responsibility is to
get us all back to Earth.

Getting the truth out...

that sounds like your job.

Can I help you?

Or would you just rather do
this whole thing by yourself?

It is imperative we
locate the replicant.

If Major Kincaid succeeds in
energizing the conventional drive,

we can boost power to the
internal security scans.

Yeah. Thanks a lot for the tip.

I don't appreciate that
kind of attitude, Captain!

Perhaps, the pressure
is getting to you.

Would you like to be relieved of duty?

We must not allow this most
difficult situation to divide us.

My apologies, Agent Sandoval.

I'll notify you as soon as the security
systems are back up and running.

Always the consummate diplomat, Da'an.

I prefer to think of
myself as a pragmatist.

Words and words, Da'an.

You provoke with them,
and hide behind them.

Perhaps, the time has come for action.

The security lockout.
We'll have to override.

That's very high-tech.

I can't believe that technology as
advanced as the Taelon's is so vulnerable.

The Taelons don't design
with sabotage in mind.

Yeah, well, speaking of
sabotage, do you have any idea

what your replicant is up to?

It can be anywhere, that's
why we gotta get moving.

The good news, the
conventional drive is intact.

The bad news, it's
gone completely cold.

Well, thank God somebody seems
to know what they're doing.

Well, if I don't, your story's gonna
have rather abrupt and explosive finale.

Yeah, well, not that anyone
would ever get to see it.

I've seen some of your field
reports from the SI War.

Very impressive.

Well, impressive isn't how I
would describe my career recently.

Investigating scandal, scum and
sycophants takes up most of my time.

So, what happened?

Times change, tastes change, but
the rent still has to get paid.

An exclusive on the Taelon mother ship
must have seemed like quite the coup, then.

It still is.

It's a piece of history.

Oh, I get it. You're just looking
for your next 15 minutes of fame.

No, no, you don't get it at all.

This story, it's about my
redemption as a reporter.

Finally!

The analysis I've been
trying to run is complete.

You're gonna want to
take a look at this.

Okay, the, uh...

The anomaly is basically a bubble of energy
that's caught within the ID slip stream.

And we're trapped inside.

- Did the replicant do this?
- No, I think this bubble was created

when the ID core exploded,
but it's unstable.

My calculations give us 56 minutes
before the anomaly collapses

and we're thrust back
into normal space.

Will we return to our original coordinates?

Not exactly.

If you extend our course in ID
space from our known position,

you come up with something like this.

The Jaridian home world.

We will be captured and interrogated.

And the Jaridians will defeat
us with our own technology.

Things will go quicker
if you lend a hand.

I'm creating an
historical document here.

Yeah, maybe the replicant
will give you a nice interview.

Okay...

What can I do?

I've managed to jury rig a
subroutine that'll shunt the energy

from lesser hierarchical systems

to the drive's central
propulsion matrix, but

we need to execute a
simultaneous cross shunt.

Meaning?

When I give the word,

you hit that button.

Got it.

And...

Now.

Yes, we did it!

Didn't we?

We've got enough power to
reinitiate the conventional drive

but we need to get to the
ship's central computer,

make sure I haven't
created a system conflict.

Whatever you say, Major.

Zo'or, someone is attempting to gain
access to the ship's central computer.

The replicant?

Liam, I could kiss you.

Okay, I'm rerouting a little more
energy to the internal security scanners.

With all due haste, Captain.

The best I can do is a thermal scan.

Is there any way to identify the
thermal signature of an individual?

Not without more power. We've
barely got a lock as it is.

Is it possible that Major
Kincaid is continuing his efforts?

Inter-ship communications
remain inoperative.

Then there's only one way to find out.

Agent Sandoval...

Proceed with caution.

That is a concept foreign
to the Jaridian lexicon.

Incredible.

What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same thing.

And I'd have a good answer:

reinitializing the
conventional drive matrix.

I need to make sure I haven't
created a system trap door.

Then you may proceed, Major.

Feel free to pitch in. I need
some of those panels open.

- Get away from the drive.
- Liam, what are you doing?

Sandoval has a skrill.

It's a part of him, but it
wouldn't show up in his DNA profile.

Something the replicant
didn't take into account.

Liam.

Sandoval, look out!

Liam!

No, Liam!

The replicant?

- It was Liam, he...
- He escaped.

Yeah, you missed all the fun.

We've got to get back to the bridge.

Agent Sandoval, Major Kincaid, report.

Conventional engines are back online,
but the replicant is still on the loose.

How long before the anomaly collapses
and we return to normal space?

Less than 20 minutes.

The replicant will not stop
until it has achieved its mission

and delivers this ship to its masters.

It is obvious that we have little or no
way of defeating this Jaridian foot soldier.

And in less than 20 minutes, we will be
helpless before the Jaridians themselves.

There must be another way out.

Yes, I believe there is.

Da'an, you were correct earlier
to eject the ID engine core.

Your decision served the interests
of both Taelons and humans.

Now, it is my turn to serve.

We cannot allow our technology to
fall into the hands of the Jaridians.

Therefore, I am ordering
the destruction of this ship.

There must be other options
available to destroying this ship.

Sandoval, can you override the
replicant's navigational commands?

Perhaps, but that doesn't
get us out of the anomaly.

- Stay with me on this.
- Please, make it good.

The conventional
engines are back online.

But they can't generate enough power to
break through the anomaly's energy field.

Can we use the ship's weapons?

Well, that's where I got
the power for the drive.

Engines or weapons,
though, we only get one.

But, the weapons on the shuttles
may still have enough power

to punch a hole in the field.

If we line up the
mother ship behind them...

Then maybe, just maybe
we can force our way

through the opening into the ID slip
stream and then, if the discontinuity

hasn't closed up, we could follow
our prior path back to Earth.

Exactly.

Look, it's a long shot, but
we don't have anything to lose.

How can we assist you?

Lili's with me.

We'll keep an open channel and
relay instructions as we go.

Liam, wait!

Get the shuttles powered
up, I'll meet you down there.

What the hell is going on?

I can't explain now,
you just have to trust me.

To trust you? You lied to me!

No wonder you're keeping secrets for the
Taelons, you're probably one yourself.

I told you, it's complicated,
but I'm on your side.

I want the truth about
the Taelons to come out.

Oh, what, just not about you?

They don't know what you
can do either, do they?

You're keeping secrets from them, too!

There's a lot I'd like
to tell you, but I can't.

Yes, I am keeping secrets from the Taelons,
secrets I now need you to keep as well.

I know this is your big story, bigger
than you probably ever imagined.

But if you tell it, I am a dead man.

There is so much more at
stake here than you realize.

So zap me and keep me quiet.

That's not really my style.

I guess it's your call.

Systems powered and ready.

Ready here.

So, are you sure this is gonna work?

It's got to. I'm too young to die.

- Everyone ready on the bridge?
- We are prepared.

Let's fly.

The systems are sluggish. It's
like flying through pea soup!

Most of my instruments are offline.

We'll have to use visual cues.

We await your signal.

We have a problem.

The conventional
drive is powering down.

The replicant!

This is not our fate!

Can he stop it?

I do not know.

Boundary fire line in 1 minute.

Sandoval, what's going on down there?
We need the drive at full power.

I'm trying, Major, but the
replicant seems to have other plans!

Without that drive,
we're back at square one.

- I'm going back. Stay on target.
- Liam, what are you doing?

I don't know, but I have
40 seconds to figure it out.

Sandoval, status.

I'm trying to get to the drive.
The replicant's in the control room!

Keep it there, I've got a plan.

Right, any time now, Major!

Just get out of there, now.

What is he doing?

Conventional drive back online.

It is too late.

Something is happening.

The field has been
breached. Follow her.

Liam, where are you?

All instruments malfunctioning.
Total systems failure.

I'm coming back for you.

- Sorry to say, no time.
- No, I'm not leaving without you!

Go, now!

Prepare for impact.

We're through.

We made it!

Kincaid!

Come on, Liam, talk to me!

We've returned our
original coordinates.

We're home.

Good work, Captain, Major.

Marquette to the bridge.

Liam didn't make it out of
the anomaly. We've lost him.

Kincaid to bridge.

Remind me never to try that again.

Welcome back, Major.

Yes!

It is a most beautiful planet.

That has never occurred to me.

That comes as no surprise.

Your trust in Major
Kincaid was not misplaced.

He risked his life to
save the mother ship,

and, perhaps, ensure the
future of all Taelons.

A risk, we were
prepared to take as well.

I would not have allowed the
Jaridians to seize the ship.

Yes, you surprised me,
Zo'or. It was a very...

selfless decision.

My actions serve Taelon interests.

- Then, and always.
- As do mine.

And...

do not think I have forgotten
your threats against me.

Those things were said
in a time of crisis,

and should not be
considered more than...

A truthful revelation when you believed
the time was right to play your advantage.

Next time,

the advantage will be mine.

Well, it looks like my story
has a happy ending after all.

Does it?

Ever since I was a little girl,

publishing my family's newsletter and
digging up dirt of my little brother,

I've hungered for a big scoop.

The thrill of bringing
in an exclusive story.

I thought I'd lost
that feeling forever,

- But I found it again today.
- Well, I'm glad.

Does that mean you owe me one?

The truth is the truth, Liam,

and have a responsibility to the
people of Earth and to the future.

And you may be the
biggest scoop of all.

Ms. Franklin,

your shuttle's ready.

I'll be seeing you.

Your...

actions today have proven your
loyalty to the Taelons, Major.

Or a healthy sense
of self-preservation.

Apology accepted.

I shouldn't have been so
quick to believe the worst.

Hey, for a while there I
didn't know if I believed me.

The evidence was pretty convincing.

We've never seen eye to eye, Major.
I don't expect that will change.

But, I have come to
appreciate your talents

and hope that you will continue to
use them for the good of the Taelons.

And humanity?

They're one and the same, Major.

Are you so sure about that?

I'm keeping an open mind, Major.

What did you find?

Oh, you hit the mother lode
this time my friend!

Not only did you get the
passwords that I needed,

but a few things I didn't
expect. Check this out!

- What am I looking at?
- Well...

While you were downloading the
passwords, the Jaridian replicant

was reprogramming the
mother ship's computer.

Your global recorded it all.

It looks like a string of numbers...

Not just numbers, coordinates.

What do these colors indicate?

That's the Jaridian
and the Taelon empires.

And if size really does matter,
the Jaridians are winning.
