[BEEPS]

Looks like a city.

Maybe we've come through a stargate to a world with a working soda machine.

Is that your idea of civilization, Harrison?

Well, yeah.

What'd you expect?

Let's check it out. Stay alert.

[ENGINE REVVING]

HARRISON: It's not a city. It must be some kind of refinery.

And this looks like battle damage.

- I've seen this before. - You been to this planet before?

No, but you can see the same thing from the New Jersey Turnpike.

Ahh.

Gus is pulling our leg.

I have no leg.

It means he's telling a story that's not true.

- Hmm? - I'll explain later.

[HORN BLARING]

What the heck is--?

[ALL YELL]

Incoming!

[GRUNTING]

Find out who attacked us and why.

HARRISON: You got it, major.

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

Whoever's driving that thing is either laying down a smoke screen...

...or he really needs a tune-up.

BONNER: Hey.

[YELLS]

[GRUNTING]

Hey. Pull it over.

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

[SIGHS]

Oh.

[GRUNTS]

You're beautiful.

[VEHICLES APPROACHING]

EC'CO: Don't worry. We're friends.

It's okay, major. She's not a threat.

I don't know about that. You saw the way she drives.

Why did you people attack us?

I gave the workers orders to guard the Place of Power.

They were just doing their jobs.

If they're the workers, who are you?

The inventor. I am called Kreeda.

Who are they guarding the Place of Power against?

Guarding? Uh, why, aliens.

- The Tlak'kahn? - Yes, yes.

The Tlak-- Uh, Tlak....

Was it the Tlak'kahn who blasted the place?

Yes, Tlak'kahn. It was them.

Tlak'kahn. Uh, many years ago.

We, uh-- We did our best to fight, but it was impossible.

The survivors hid and I've been trying to restore our world...

...our technology, before they come again.

You are very brave.

But you don't have to be afraid any longer.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

We'll protect you from the Tlak'kahn.

First things first. Let's set up a base camp.

In the morning we can repair the MORV.

I'll get started tonight.

I don't need as much sleep as the rest of you.

May I help? It's the least I can do.

That would be great.

[BEEPING]

[GROANS]

Huh?

KREEDA: You work well, Ec'co.

Tell me, why are you different from the others?

My father was from Earth...

...but my mother was from a different world, like you.

I am different too, like you.

That is why the workers here have made me inventor, like my parents before me.

But it has not been easy being different.

I know. People can be cruel to someone different.

I guess that's why when I was a child, I preferred to be alone.

No one prefers to be alone.

Maybe now we can be different together.

Hmm. I'd like that.

Oh, brother.

KREEDA: What powers your vehicles? EC'CO: Water.

Liar. Water doesn't burn.

No, seriously. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen.

Both of those elements will burn.

Our hydrogen-catalyst converters extract hydrogen from water...

...so the engines can use it for fuel.

You must be a very great scientist.

Ha. I hope to be a great scientist someday...

...but right now, I still have much to learn.

You are too modest.

Your friends don't know how lucky they are to have someone like you with them.

[ECHOING CLANG]

[GASPS]

Something strange when Kreeda speaks.

I think Kreeda and Ec'co like each other. Maybe that's what you're sensing.

No. I think maybe Kreeda pulling our leg?

You mean, she's lying?

[SQUEAKING]

Yet another wonderful world to explore for our fearless leader Da'kyll.

Begin a standard search.

Perhaps this time we'll get lucky.

KREEDA: I have work I must do. Go.

And don't come back until I send for you.

[GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

Okay everybody, rise and shine. Get a move on.

[BOTH GROANING]

BONNER: Good morning, Ec'co.

- Is the MORV ready? - What?

Yes, I just need to reattach a couple of covers.

Good job.

[GRUNTS]

EC'CO: What? STACEY: Is there something wrong?

No, why?

Nothing. I just thought you looked like something was wrong.

Get the lead out, Harrison.

[HARRISON GRUNTING]

I suggest you do a recon flight around the area.

Oh, right, of course. I'll just go over and fire up the jet-pack.

Whoa, not good. Must be out of water.

No prob. Just switch over to catalyze hydrogen out of the air and....

Really not good.

[YELLING]

ALL: Huh?

Harrison?

Harrison, what's happening?

Harrison.

[GRUNTS]

Help. Help.

Hmm.

It's not my fault. The catalyst unit is missing.

Check the other units.

[STACEY GASPS]

- This one's gone too. SEATTLE: Oh, no.

So is this one.

BONNER: Mine too.

Let's get the jet-pack onto the MORV and get back to the refinery.

- Hey, where's Ec'co? - Good question.

Stay alert. Let's go.

[ENGINES START]

[BEEPING]

BONNER: That's it. We're out of hydrogen.

Me too. Just running out now.

[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHING]

Looks like we're walking in.

Great. I love walking in soggy shoes.

[GRUNTS]

EC'CO: Kreeda.

Kreeda.

[GASPS]

It was you. You did it, didn't you?

Did what? What are you talking about?

You took the catalyst unit.

I-- I don't know anything about it.

It must have been my workers. I've been looking for them all morning.

I-- I did tell them about the units, how valuable they are.

- There they are. All right. - Aah!

Let's have it. Where are the converters?

She believes that her workers took them.

What do you mean, converters?

I wasn't talking to you, but I am now.

Did you know the catalyst converters were missing when you left?

I admit, I knew the unit for the MORV was missing, but I--

Then you lied to me when you said there was nothing wrong.

Well, I've got news for you, Ec'co. All the converters are missing.

And because he didn't know anything was wrong...

...Harrison went up in the jet-pack and ran out of fuel.

Lucky for him he splashed down in one of the flooded quarries.

I know it was wrong not to tell you, but I wanted to talk to Kreeda first.

I'm sorry, Harrison.

Ah, hey, forget it. I needed a bath anyway.

No, we don't forget it.

Harrison's lucky to be alive because your girlfriend stole the converters.

She's not my girlfriend.

But before you accuse Kreeda of lying...

...we should at least find the missing workers.

Why should we believe her? She lied before.

I know you don't want to believe Kreeda's lying.

You're falling for her because she seems interested in you, because you're lonely.

You're way out of line, Seattle.

She's just saying--

I know what she's saying...

...but that doesn't mean we shouldn't give Kreeda the benefit of the doubt.

All right, we'll give her a chance.

Where can we find the workers?

They're from a village far away.

Show us.

PAHK'KAL: The humans are here.

They will return for their vehicles and we'll be ready for them.

[VEHICLES APPROACHING]

I have to stop for a minute.

It won't take long.

Inventor, the fields need water but the power has stopped.

I will restore the power.

[GRUNTS]

Praise the inventor.

- Praise the inventor. - Praise the inventor.

It would bring us great joy if you and your friends...

...would join us in the council house.

Thank you. We'll meet you there.

Don't the workers know how the engine on the irrigation pump works?

They don't understand about my inventions.

EC'CO: Can't you explain it to them?

They would only get themselves in trouble.

Hmm.

Your arrival, inventor, is an unexpected pleasure.

What brings you to our village?

We're looking for the workers from the refinery.

But the workers are not here.

They would never come back unless the inventor--

That's all we needed to know.

We should be looking for them instead of sitting.

Could we talk to him...

- ...alone? - No.

I mean, why would you wanna do that?

Would you wait outside, please?

[GASPS]

Fine.

[GRUNTS]

Huh?

You're hiding something, Kreeda.

I'm just tired of your people interfering with our world.

You mean messing with your hold over the workers.

You're keeping knowledge from them.

I am the inventor.

You just find old technology someone else created...

...and make it work again.

You don't invent anything.

The workers could do that too.

Then it will be like it was before...

...when our ancestors used their technology to destroy our world.

You said the Tlak'kahn destroyed everything.

I told you that because it's what you wanted to hear.

I wanted to hear the truth.

You can't go around telling lies.

It always ends up causing more problems.

You lied to your friends.

Everyone tells lies when they have to.

Mm.

When they think they have to. When they think it'll help them.

But it never helps.

It's just wrong.

Kreeda's workers don't know how anything operates.

It has to be Kreeda who stole the hydrogen catalysts.

I know. I am sorry.

Hmm.

When the humans reach their own vehicles, we will attack.

Take your positions.

Only one left to return.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

Looks like we're hoofing it the rest of the way.

Huh?

Over here. Look at this.

What do you got, Ec'co?

Kreeda must have been using the catalyst units...

...to remove hydrogen from water to store for fuel.

If she's filled those old storage tanks with hydrogen...

...it's a wonder she hasn't blown herself up.

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLING]

EC'CO: Thank you.

I'll take that.

You'll be happy to know we're leaving.

You can't. I saw aliens hiding around your vehicles.

They must be the-- The Tlak'kahn you spoke of.

No more lies!

I trusted you, liked you, but you were just using me.

Please, Ec'co. I'm telling the truth.

You're very good at lying.

I could almost believe you if I didn't know you better.

Let's get out of here.

Prepare to attack.

I'm telling the truth. I saw the Tlak'kahn.

Ignore her. She's lying.

I do not have strange feeling.

What strange feeling?

Feeling I get when Kreeda talks.

She means Kreeda's not lying.

Run, now!

- Huh? - Aah!

Open fire!

[WEAPONS FIRING]

[GROWLING]

[YELLING]

Hold your fire until we have the humans surrounded.

These tanks are full of hydrogen and they may be leaking.

Any firing could ignite it.

So, what do we use against the Tlak'kahn? Harsh language?

Da'kyll, the tanks are full of explosive fuel.

- Hmm. - You'll be in danger if you fire.

PAHK'KAL: I have told enough lies, human.

I have told enough lies, Bonner, to know one when I hear it.

[YELLING]

No. This way.

[GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

Bonner wasn't lying. Tlak'kahn, retreat!

[YELLING]

We're safe here.

[BEEPING]

Come with us.

We can take you to another world...

...where you won't have to be afraid of the Tlak'kahn.

[BEEPS]

There are many places where we can hide until the Tlak'kahn leave.

- I'm not afraid. - You are brave, Kreeda.

Stay, Ec'co. I--

I promise I won't lie to you anymore.

I thought I had to lie to make things happen, but I know better now.

We can help my people together.

And I--

I want you to stay with me.

I wish I could believe you.

A lie doesn't just hurt the person you lie to, it hurts you too.

If you can't be trusted, then no one will wanna be close to you.

It takes a long time to win trust back.

The Ludd'ahn can help themselves, if you'll show them how.

Goodbye, Kreeda.

[SOBBING]
