Agent Sandoval, we have a problem.

Report.

Two unidentified shuttles

have made an unscheduled
appearance in Earth air space.

Contact the shuttles.

The pursuing shuttle is
trying to contact us, but...

the transmitter is damaged.

Notify Zo'or at once.

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.

94.2 degrees. Just perfect!

You can tell the exact temperature
just by dipping your toe, huh?

You know, Liam, you
may not know this, but...

this isn't my first time.

Wake up out there!

I just had third degree
burns over half my body!

Yeah, well Da'an just took off,
but he wouldn't tell me where.

Just said I'd be on
my own for three days,

and that I wouldn't
be able to reach him.

Well, maybe he's trying to give
you a subtle hint like "get a life!"

Yeah, funny.

How could you not know where Da'an went?
Weren't you the one that flew him there?

I was scheduled to, but he used an ID portal
that he just had installed in his office.

Even programmed
the destination himself.

Something's up.

Two shuttles were just involved in
a chase and one of them crashed.

Da'an disappears mysteriously
and now the shuttle crashes?

Any indication that
Da'an was involved?

No, but the pilot that
survived was a Taelon.

Pull up the mother ship
air traffic control sphere.

That's the shuttle being pursued.

Was being pursued.

Find out who was on board.

I can't match any of
these energy signatures

with any of the shuttles
in the current fleet.

Got a theory as to why?

No, for once, I don't.

- I've got to figure out what's going on.
- Wait, wait, wait!

You know, the Taelons
might have found out

that we've tapped into their
air traffic control system.

It's could be a trap, Liam.

I have sensed the loss in the
Commonality of the pursuing pilot.

Both shuttles were
being piloted by Taelons?

That surprises you?

I've just never been exposed to
Taelons flying with such aggression.

We did navigate across several
million light years to get to Earth,

or have you forgotten that, Captain?

We have been unable to
identify the shuttle Zo'or.

Perhaps, you could assist.

The identification of the
shuttles is a Taelon matter.

Your orders are to locate
the surviving pilot.

Our search would be more effective
if we knew what we were looking for.

You are looking for a Taelon

who will not be cooperative
when you find him.

He must be apprehended at any cost.

At any cost?

Are you suggesting that we kill
this Taelon if he doesn't cooperate?

Was my order unclear, Captain?

It was crystal clear.

I will notify the Synod
at once of this incident.

Da'an must be notified face to face.

Certainly. I'll instruct Major Kincaid
to bring Da'an to the mother ship.

No.

I will go to Da'an myself.

It would seem to be more
efficient to bring Da'an

to you at this time of crisis, Zo'or.

I have stated my
wishes, Agent Sandoval.

All that is required is
for you to fulfill them.

Captain Marquette
has your assignments.

We don't have the exact
location of the survivor,

but we have pinpointed
the general area.

This is our search grid.

We'll work in every section from
the outside toward the center,

giving our survivor very
little chance of escape.

We'll keep pulling in tighter and
tighter until we squeeze him out.

Your target is a Taelon.

This Taelon is a traitor
to his own species.

If necessary, you are authorized to
use deadly force to apprehend him.

Any questions?

Good, move out.

Got you.

You were just lucky. Let us go again.

No, we gotta get going,
my mom's gonna get worried.

Do not be afraid.

I will not harm you.

Are you a Taelon?

Yes.

Greetings.

Touch him, Jesse.

How did you do that?

Our touching allowed
me to sample your DNA

so that I could affect the facade
that you would see on other Taelons.

Yeah, right, sure.

I never imagined human
beings would be so innocent.

You can call me Bel'lie.

I'm Jesse. This is Ricky.

- Can you help me, Jesse?
- How?

I need to find a
place where I can rest.

You can come to my
house, my mom won't mind!

No. I want our meeting to be a
secret between you, Ricky and I.

I must go somewhere
where no one can find me.

I know the perfect spot! Only
me and Ricky know about it.

Please, take me there.

Alright, but you have to
promise you won't tell anybody.

It is a promise.

Da'an was not in the shuttle.
Zo'or's gone to see him now.

Where?

He didn't say, but before
he left, he ordered Sandoval

to launch a massive search
to find the surviving pilot.

Boy, Zo'or is really bent
on finding this Taelon.

I need you to throw
Sandoval's men off the trail.

Look, I can slow them down, but
I can't hold them off forever.

Do it.

Liam?

What a pleasant surprise.

We have a report of a downed shuttle.

I need to find the surviving
pilot before Zo'or does.

How can we help?

Take the best people from
your cell, put a team together.

I'm coming for you right now.

Okay, we'll be ready.

Listen,

now that you know it wasn't
Da'an on that shuttle,

could you just do me a favor
and give me a little bit more time

so I can make sure that
you're not walking into a trap?

I don't have the time.
Zo'or is definitely rattled.

If we don't locate this pilot
first, we may never find out why.

There's a clearing about a hundred
yards past that growth of trees.

According to Augur, that's
where the pilot crashed.

Okay, guys, fan out
and follow our lead.

You better hurry up, Sandoval's
onto us. You won't be alone for long.

Found them lurking in the bushes.

Watching us.

Lower your guns.

Give us 5.

- Establish perimeter.
- You heard her, move out..

Do not worry, we're
not gonna hurt you.

You're really convincing!

- Is that better?
- Yeah, I guess.

What's your name?

Jesse.

Why were you watching us, Jesse?

No reason.

A shuttle crashed around
here, the pilot was a Taelon.

- Do you have any idea where he might be?
- No.

Tell him, Jesse.

Look, I know you're scared, but
if you wanna help this Taelon,

you've got to tell me where he is.

Why? So you could take him away?

Listen, Jesse, in about 2 minutes
there's gonna be a whole lot of people

coming down here that
wanna hurt the Taelon.

How do I know you're
telling the truth?

I know it's not fair that
you're in this position,

but it's up to you to decide
what happens to the Taelon.

You either have to trust me or not?

What happens if I don't tell you?

We'll just have to try and
find the Taelon ourselves.

Hopefully, before his enemies do.

Okay, Jesse.

I understand.

We're gonna have to split
up and search in teams.

Wait.

I don't want anything
to happen to Bel'lie.

- Can you tell me where he is?
- Yeah, he's in our fort.

We have an emergency.

It is inconceivable that you would
interrupt me during the Ka'arpaaj.

You have destroyed the sacred moment.

A Taelon has crash landed
on Earth and survived.

Have you identified the survivor?

All of your senses are now directed
toward fulfilling the Ka'arpaaj.

If you were not engaged in
this anachronistic ritual,

you would certainly have
sensed this particular

Taelon's presence in the Commonality.

Enough of your manipulation.

I demand to know the
identity of the survivor.

It is Bel'lie.

I'm going in alone.

It's your funeral.

Take up blocking positions.

I don't want to hurt you.

Although your actions speak otherwise,
I shall take you at your word.

I am Companion Agent, Liam Kincaid,
I'm here to take you to the mother ship.

You cannot take me
to the mother ship.

And why not?

I am in great danger
from my own species.

But as a loyal Companion Agent, I
do not expect you to understand this.

Try me.

I will end my existence on this plane
before I will be taken to the mother ship.

You'd rather die than be
turned over to the Taelons?

Yes.

Then that's what you'll
have to do, because my orders

are to take you to the mother ship.

I have come from another
planet, also occupied by Taelons.

I come in search of human resistors
to help you retake your home!

Come, let's go!

We can’t outrun it.

You've got about 2 minutes till
the next wave of shuttles arrive.

Get the hell out of there!

We'll take him to
Augur's, wait for me there.

I've got to report to the mother ship.

We lost 3 volunteers in
addition to the shuttle.

The firepower that brought down the shuttle
could only have come from the Resistance.

And there's no sign
of the Taelon survivor?

No, sir. We have no idea how
they effected their escape.

It's as if they vanished.

Have you located the
Taelon survivor's shuttle?

Yes, sir, it sustained minor
damage during the chase,

but it's still operational.

Bring it to the
mother ship immediately.

Capt. Marquette will meet
you in the shuttle bay

with a technical team to examine it.

Major.

- Are you fully briefed?
- Yes.

I want you to coordinate a search
in North America from the embassy.

I must apprise Da'an of the
situation with the Taelon survivor.

I have already done so.

Zo'or, I can't fulfill my obligation to
protect Da'an if he's separated from me.

Da'an is engaged in a Taelon
ritual we call the Ka'arpaaj.

Most enlightened Taelons
have abandoned the Ka'arpaaj,

but there are still some Taelons
who feel compelled to complete it.

They see the ritual as a time
for self-examination, and renewal.

Where does the ritual take place?

In a specific location
on the Taelon home world.

The Taelon home world?
Da'an travelled there?

We have designed a simulation,

to spare us the time
required for the journey.

I need to discuss this
directly with Da'an.

Da'an has refused to
interrupt the Ka'arpaaj.

Direct your efforts towards
locating the survivor.

That is in the best
interest of all Taelons.

Which is of course, your duty.

Is it not, Major?

You said you came here in search of
human resistors to the Taelons. Well...

you found us. Why did you really come?

I do not support the
Synod's current strategy

of subjugating other species to
aid in our war with the Jaridians.

How many other planets
are the Taelons inhabiting?

Hundreds, but it is an accepted
truth within the Commonality,

that humanity represents
our best hope for survival.

Well, what about our survival?

I am in agreement with you.

What we are doing is wrong,

and there are many other
Taelons who feel the same.

You came all this way to tell us that?

Yes, and to bring the best
of the resistors back with me

to join forces with the other
Taelons who believe as I do.

Your presence down here is gonna
lead the Taelons right to us.

I need proof that
you're telling the truth.

The proof is in the
data banks of my shuttle.

Lili's conducting the
search of the shuttle.

Get a message to her. Tell her about
the information in the data banks.

Your friend is not totally incorrect.

I am a part of the Taelon Commonality,

and as such, I do pose a threat
to the security of this facility.

But the Commonality
doesn't serve as a locator.

- The Taelons can't trace you here.
- That is only partly true.

The basis of the Commonality is a
psychic link between all Taelons.

Eventually, that link will
lead the Taelons to me.

Then we need to cut that link.
Separate you from the Commonality.

That is impossible.

I cannot voluntarily sever
myself from the Commonality.

- And even if I could...
- No!

No, no, no! I've already had one place
destroyed by a Neanderthal Taelon,

thank you very much! They canceled
my insurance after that. No.

What are you talking about?

When a Taelon is separated
from the Commonality,

they revert to their most
primitive form, it's call an Atavus.

And the last time a Taelon
reverted to an Atavus,

whole lot of people were killed.

They're bad enough as
Taelons, but as an Atavus,

they're like a wild animal. He couldn't
control himself even if he wanted to.

No, no, no, we can prevent that.

Augur can sever the Commonality link

and he can redirect the
psychic energy of a human being

to a Taelon that will take
the place of the Commonality,

and prevent Bel'lie from
reverting to an Atavus.

You're willing to risk human
lives in order to save a Taelon?!

No, I won't ask any of
your people, we'll do it.

What do you mean "we", kemosabe?

We can't afford to have
you outta commission.

- I'll do it.
- No, that wasn't my intention.

I'm not saying it was.

You understand that Augur has to
put you into a state of near death?

We may not be able to bring you back.

I understand. Now,
can we get on with it?

You sure about this?

I've just download
the human interface.

First we're gonna go
over it inch by inch,

and then we're gonna take
it apart piece by piece.

Download the data banks.

The data core has
suffered a lot of damage.

I uh, I have to run a retrieval
program. It could take some time.

I'll wait. I wanna know how
he escaped, who helped him,

and why he came here.

- Got lucky.
- Download it to a disk.

We've accessed the data banks, Zo'or.
We're downloading the information now.

Done.

Transmitting data from
the shuttle's data banks.

Emma Peel would be proud!

Guess she doesn't watch old
reruns on the spy channel.

Not bad, Augur.

Yeah, considering what I had to work
with, but it'll serve our purposes.

Listen, you have to stay hooked
up until we pull you out, okay?

Right.

Which we'll do at the
first sign of any danger.

It's not too late to change your mind.

I'm ready.

With this I will identify
your Commonality frequency.

Now, once you're separated
from the Commonality,

I'll need to re-stabilize you
every 10 minutes or so.

Other than that, you
can move around freely.

The nobility of the human
species is known to all Taelons,

but you have exceeded even
my loftiest expectations.

I am humbled by your sacrifice.

It's time.

He's separated from the Commonality.

They both are stabilized.

What if Bel'lie destabilizes
and becomes an Atavus?

Well, I think we all
know the answer to that.

This is the data Lili downloaded.

How do we know this came
from Bel'lie's shuttle?

Because Lili said it did.

Well, the Taelons could
have planted it there, right?

You know, Julia, we
actually thought of that,

but maybe we should look at it first
before we judge it. Is that okay with you?

Good.

Look. He took a hell
of a trip to get here.

You see that?

As a human being,

I do not believe you can
fully understand what it means

to be separated from the Commonality
for the first time in my life.

The notion of finally being alone with
your own thoughts must be liberating.

And terrifying as well.

There is great comfort
in the Commonality,

in knowing that you are never alone.

We have a saying that you're
born alone and you die alone.

But most of us spend
the rest of our lives

just trying to escape
that inevitability.

As a part of the Commonality,

we can never act against the
interests of the majority of Taelons.

Even when we know that
the majority is wrong.

But Zo'or acts against
the Taelons all the time.

Because, on some level, the
Synod agrees with Zo'or's actions.

If they did not, Zo'or would not be able
to act aggressively against any Taelon.

But he doesn't just act aggressively.

Zo'or has tried to have
his Taelon enemies killed!

Is the Synod aware of that?

They may not know the full
extent of Zo'or's malevolence,

but they do understand that he has
a reservoir of aggression within him,

and have chosen not to dissipate
it through the Commonality.

The Synod wants Zo'or
to do what they can't,

and in this way, they can escape
all responsibility for his actions.

Yes, and now that I can
reason as an individual,

I can see how cowardly that is.

Bel'lie, we can't sustain your separation
from the Commonality indefinitely.

Then you must release me,

and let fate take its course.

There may be another way.

I serve as the Protector to
a member of the Taelon Synod

who may be receptive to your
thoughts. His name is Da'an.

Da'an?

He was the most outspoken
advocate against my views.

He banished me to the
farthest reaches of the galaxy,

so that I would no longer be heard.

Da'an is the most sympathetic
to humanity of all the Taelons.

Da'an is the architect of the Taelon
strategy for galactic destruction

as a means to defeating the Jaridians.

He must be stopped.

And each of you will coordinate
the search from your own region.

Do not deviate from
our official statement

that this Taelon has been
kidnapped by the Resistance.

Carry on.

Has there been any reluctance on
the part of the human authorities

to aid in this search?

On the contrary, Zo'or,
despite our recent problems,

the human law enforcement,
even at the highest level,

has been most
cooperative in our search.

Excellent.

That degree of cooperation
will prove essential

when the time comes for us to
execute our strategy for the planet.

Something's not right. Before
Da'an disappeared, he asked me

to ready the shuttle. He
wanted me to take him somewhere.

Yeah, it must be that
Taelon ritual, the Ka'arpaaj.

Then he had a meeting with Zo'or,
and cancelled the shuttle flight.

Well, obviously he didn't
want you to witness the ritual.

I understand that, but I still
could have flown him anywhere.

He didn't have to share the
details of the ritual with me.

Okay, I'll see what I can find out.

Hey, what's going on?

It's okay, it's okay, the
instruments are set to warn us

of even a slightest change in the readings.
Liam doesn't want anything to happen to him.

No, Liam said that you would get him
out if there was any sing of danger.

Yes, if he was in any danger.

But I agree with you. We've
got to do something very soon.

Very soon?

Okay, I wanna him
outta there right now!

- Hey, it's not your call!
- No, and it's not Liam's either!

You're right.

It's his, he volunteered, remember?

Liam, we've gotta do
something very soon,

we can't keep Bel'lie
down here much longer.

Alright, that's it!
Take him off the machine!

It's not Mitch, something's
wrong with the sphere!

Well, then fix the damn thing!

It's jammed, I've been locked out!

- Somebody sabotaged it!
- Mitch! Mitch, wake up!

Wake up! We gotta get you off
this thing, okay? Come here.

Uh-oh, take cover!

- Uh-oh.
- What?

I've seen this before, there's
gonna be a lot of damage!

Kill it!

Liam, there's definitely
going to be a problem.

Tyler, right?

Captain Marquette.

Yeah, I understood your
brother served in the SI War.

Yes, ma'am. I'm certainly
aware of your service record.

You checked my service record?

Absolutely.

Before I joined up with the Taelons, I
wanted to know who I'd be serving with.

It's an honor to
follow in your footsteps.

Listen, um, maybe you could
help me with something.

I'm trying to find some information
on the portal construction program.

You know that information
is classified, Captain.

Oh, yeah, I know, I just, I'm
concerned that they're cutting back

on my shuttle flying time
and I was just wondering

when they decided to install
portals in Taelon embassies.

We're not doing that.

Oh... Da'an just had one
installed in his office.

Oh, it wasn't Da'an.

That's what I thought.

Zo'or ordered the portal
for Da'an's office.

Over a week ago.

You were ready to kill Bel'lie
at the slightest provocation.

I did not touch the sphere.

Your team and Augur were
the only ones with access.

- Then why don't you ask him?
- Oh, this girl is a piece of work.

Look, I said it wasn't me, and it wasn't
any of my people either. I guarantee it.

Bel'lie told us that it
was Da'an who was leading

the charge against humanity
and had to be stopped.

Bel'lie had access to the
sphere to stabilize his readings.

I mean, that was the point
of this whole exercise.

What are you saying, that Bel'lie
actually pulled the plug himself?

But why would he want to become
an out of control, wild animal?

I saw the rage in Bel'lie's
eyes when I mentioned Da'an.

There was murder there.

A Taelon murdering another Taelon?

Doesn't that violate some sort of
Taelon code of ethics or something?

Yeah, if he remains a Taelon.
But not if he becomes an Atavus.

You think he became
an Atavus on purpose?

He might.

If it was the only way
he could kill Da'an.

I've gotta get to the embassy.

Hold it! Stop.

Da'an... Where is he?

The portal.

The settings haven't been changed.

What happened?

It's the Atavus, sir. He
escaped through the portal.

Bel'lie!

I have waited a long
time to kill you, Da'an.

Da'an!

I can save you.

You can live to fight another day.

Killing Da'an can't be the
answer you're looking for.

No!

Hang on, don't let go!

You're wrong about Da'an.

- Let us help you.
- Do not trust Da'an.

He will betray you.

Why would he make that accusation?

He knew me in a different time.

I am no longer the Taelon I once was.

Will you betray me, Da'an?

The data from Bel'lie's shuttle
seems to back up his story.

There are hundreds
of images like that.

Planets in different
stages of destruction.

Well, I didn't trust Bel'lie.

But we can't deny
what we're seeing here.

I mean, he says that Da'an's
gonna betray us, I believe him.

I don't know. Our alliance
with Da'an is critical.

Lili's right. We'll have to live
with that risk for the moment.

Besides, I'm not ready
to turn my back on Da'an.

Well, I just hope
that when you are ready

that we are not all found
floating in a blue tank somewhere.

Because that's exactly where
we'll be if you're wrong.

It's not exactly that simple.

I did some unofficial checking
into the portal in Da'an's office,

and Zo'or is the one who
had it installed, not Da'an.

But Zo'or didn't want anyone
near that home world recreation.

He was taking no chances.

Liam's flown to the moon base
before, Zo'or knows that.

Liam could have easily
flown Da'an to the moon base

without ever knowing
about the recreation.

Zo'or wanted someone
to have direct access

to the home world recreation
from Da'an's office.

Like Bel'lie.

Are you saying that Zo'or
planned this whole thing,

and brought in Bel'lie
to get rid of Da'an?

Maybe, or maybe Zo'or set it
up so that Bel'lie could escape.

Bel'lie never even knew
that he was being used.

So then, how much of this is real?

There's only one way
for us to know for sure,

and that's to go there ourselves.

Find out if there are Taelons out
there who really want to help us.

You insist upon viewing
our home world as it was.

You are in a state of denial.

I draw strength from
experiencing this beauty.

I prefer the truth, Da'an.

I draw my strength
by always remembering

how the Jaridians
destroyed our home world.
