Renee: Augur, come in, please, or give me an alternate frequency. Augur, are you receiving? Over. Augur, come in, please. Are you receiving? Over.
[ Energy shilling ]
Renee: How does it look outside?
Liam: Some tuna fisherman, I had the robot pilot steer away from them. You find Augur?
I tried his master frequency, his resistance frequency, and his telephone number.
I don't get it. Ordinarily, Augur would be all over us to help Lili. He could autopilot my shuttle to here, Get Lili to a hospital and Da'an to the mother ship. I set the robot pilot to take us to guadeloupe.
The Jaridian won't want Lili to go without him.
[ Energy ringing ]
Vorjak: It has begun.
[ Energy trilling ]
Liam: Vorjak, what's happening to Lili?
Her time is here.
[ Baby crying ]
Lili: She's beautiful.
Our child. Our salvation. Hello.
[ Chortling ]
Renee: Something is happening to Da'an.
[ Whooshing and crackling ]
Liam: He told us. He said he was giving up his life to save Lili and that baby. Da'an is dead.
[ Water splashing ]
Liam: Did you find the right customs guys?
Renee: Piracy is alive and well in the caribbean. Volunteers don't seem to be looking for us here. So, customs will hide you and take you to a free portal.
I can get back here with a shuttle in 10 minutes, But I don't want to take Da'an's body I.D. His form is crystallized. It might shatter.
It's a risk you have to take, Liam. I'm sure Da'an would forgive you if he knew.
I couldn't forgive myself. He wasn't exactly an ally but... ...I understood him.
Man: Heads up, that's our man. Box him to the east end, take him down. Volunteer investigations. They want you at central, Augur. Hold it! We need to talk.
[ Whooshing ] [ Energy shilling ]
Man: Which one?
Man: Move in!
Liam: Hey.
Lili: Looks like Sandoval remembered everything. I've got clothes and diapers.
Renee: She is beautiful, So perfect.
Liam: You're looking pretty good yourself.
Lili: You're lying. I look terrible. At least my Jaridian transformation was just for the birth. [ Sniffling ] I missed you so much. I was so lonely and so afraid. I needed you, Liam.
Liam: I wish I could have been there.
Renee: Let me introduce myself; I'm renee palmer. Liam and I work together, informally.
Lili: Thanks for everything you did and everything you're doing.
Sure.
Liam: You and Vorjak, was that your decision?
Lili: Do you mean, did he force me? He let me. On our trip here, To earth, I grew to understand him and to love him. He's so much like us, Liam, So unlike the taelons in every way. He's passionate, he has a heart.
If that's what you want, you have my blessing. I'll do what I can to keep you safe.
That means a lot.
Renee: Have you decided on a name?
Vorjak: Her name is arial. Lili and I decided that when we chose each other as man and wife by the ancient rituals of my kind.
Lili: I've always known it. My beautiful golden child will be called arial.
[ Energy shilling ]
Zu'or: Explain.
Ron: My skrill took a lethal blast from an energy weapon.
Not your Skrill, where were you?
Locating the traitor, Lili Marquette. I found her with the third Jaridian whom she had smuggled to earth. They escaped.
Leave us. You told me that I had paid for all the Jaridian bodies. You also told me, months ago, that Marquette was dead.
We were deceived.
Obviously, one of us was.
Release the restraints, please.
Your interrogation speciality is involuntary mental intervention. Have you ever been the subject?
No, Zu'or. Mental interventions have unexpected consequences.
Fatal ones. For humans, I am told, it is like having a rodent trapped inside your head, trying to escape.
You don't want to open my head, Zu'or. Everything in here will spill out. I have done many things for you That should remain locked away.
None of that matters if a Jaridian is alive on earth. The taelons will be in chaos and I will lose a free hand. I may lose everything.
Give me five days. I will bring the Jaridian's head< For your trophy room, With no one the wiser.
If not his head... ...Then yours.
[ Whooshing ]
[ Clattering ]
[ Engines roaring ]
Lili: Her temperature is 102. She was just fine an hour ago. It's stifling in here. Maybe I should bring her up on deck.
Liam: She's half Jaridian. Who knows what is healthy for her. Why risk having a hybrid baby?
The Jaridian metabolism is out of control. They die in their 20s; they literally burn up. Babies die in their mothers' wombs. Vorjak and I thought that by blending our species we could create a new life form to give the Jaridians a future.
There's one thing I don't understand. You gave them your shuttle, an inter-dimensional shuttle. If they build more, That tips the balance of terror.
Liam, this war is so ancient, they've forgotten why they're fighting. Neither can reproduce. But when the Jaridians find out there is hope, They'll just let the taelons die.
Is that how Vorjak convinced you?
I told you, Liam, We're in love. I was born to be arial's mother, And she was born to save Jaridia.
Did you know Da'an had to die?
Renee: Customs is getting antsy; we have 20 minutes.
Liam: I'll leave now; this baby needs a hospital.
Vorjak: Not on earth.
Renee: He's got an I.D. Dart!
Liam: Don't put your baby at risk. Let me take arial to a hospital.
Vorjak: No, when the taelons discover who she is, they'll kill her.
Lili: Vorjak, I can take her. She looks human, I can hide her.
Renee: Lili, you can't go. Maybe all she needs is taelon energy to cool her. I can take her to a taelon tech plant, on earth.
Vorjak: No, I am her father. I will do what I must to save my child![ Whooshing and clicking ]
Lili: I'm sorry, Liam.
[ Energy shilling ] [ Blasting ]
[ Chattering and soft laughter ]
[ Door swishing ]
Tate: Hey, boss, I've got 10 minutes left on my dime, do you want it?
Ron: Leave us.
You'd swear she had seven fingers on both hands. Now, that's talent.
What's your status?
I'm back on limited duty. This thing speeds up healing by a factor of five or six. So, did Zu'or send me his best?
Ron: Zu'or has given us less than a week. I don't want to run into Kincaid until I've taken steps to bolster my version of events. Officially, I'm suspended for an overdue rest.
Tate: I saw the report While I was at the bureau.
If we don't find Marquette and that Jaridian neither of us is going fishing again. Zu'or wants no trace of them left on earth.
Duly noted. So, why not give it up, boss? Cut your losses, write off the Jaridians?
I need the Jaridians, Tate. I need them to destroy my enemies.
It's your luau. The freighter turned up at guadeloupe, empty. Marquette's D.N.A. Profile rang a bell in portal systems at three stops, terminating at Seneca falls, New York.
Seneca falls. Good.
She was with another human with no D.N.A. Record And another entity, Not human.
Have the portal records erased. Scramble the F.B.I. World wanted profile to give Marquette's D.N.A. another name. If she portals again, I don't want any red flags waved. Also, Tell the navy to stand by to send ultra-long wave bursts. In code, need-to-know basis.
Ultra-long wave? That's used for the submarine fleet.
You don't need to know.
Liam: Augur?
Renee: He's here; I can smell espresso.
His security system is down. If he has to disappear, he usually leaves a hologram. [ Energy tinkling ] Nothing.
Where would he go?
Augur has some friends on the fringes who owe him. He would be able to find a place to hide.
Can you access his data?
Some of it. I can access the service staff roster. Sandoval has been suspended for medically supervised R and R.
He just wants to look for his missing Jaridian.
Sandoval's aide, agent frank Tate, I shot him in the shoulder. Look, he's back on the job, Working undercover.
Sandoval wants Tate to be inside the bureau. Augur has a few worms inside the bureau's database. I think we can find Tate. Maybe he'll lead us to Sandoval.
Why don't you check that out.
Augur: Jay!... Jay!
Man: In a hurray, pal?
[ Crashing ]
Jay: Hey, that's a buddy of mine! Leave him alone! My public. "Fringers" are very spontaneous. So, how are you?
Augur: I've been better. I'm just a little bit too much in demand.
You could use some stress management.
No time. Volunteer investigators are searching for me they've got roaming patrols all over the fringes. I need a new identity, everything.
Hey, a makeover can be a good thing. Leave it to me. You're due a favour.
I hope you can give me two. I can't risk contacting my friends. I left them holding the bag in a big way. They deserve better.
I'll take care of it.
Good.
Lili: Who can help my baby?
Nurse: We can't take her unless we code her D.N.A.
You can't break the rules?
No, I'm sorry.
Lili: They won't treat her until they code her D.N.A. It's the law. Don't touch her, please. She's exhausted, dehydrated, and she won't even nurse.
Vorjak: Tell me, are you well?
I'm the same as before: Fevered, flushed and my heart is racing. We have to call Liam.
No human can protect a Jaridian from the taelons.
[ Baby crying ]
What are we going to do? Da'an's energy was supposed to help her. Her metabolism is going to kill her.
The earth is killing her, killing all of us.
This is my home, why am I sick?
You have my blood. You're both rejecting the earth's environment.
Then we have to leave earth; we have to find a shuttle.
Yes, and we shall.
Vorjak, what about your temperature?
Do not worry about me; the baby is our first concern. She needs taelon energy to cool her, But that is only a temporary cure. Wait.
Shh.
[ Door clanging ]
[ Crashing ] [ Thudding ] [ Crashing ]
Ahh!
[ Growling ] [ Crashing ]
Doctor: Security! [ Ringing ] My god, what was that?
Frank: Boss, you should take a look at this. The Seneca falls cops took a robbery and assault report. It happened tonight at a country hospital.
[ Global blipping ]
Ron: "Improbable extraterrestrial sightings."
Frank: The locals didn't know what they were dealing with. They wrote it off as a broken narcotics cabinet. Notice what was stolen.
Ron: I'm surprised the police doubted your story.
Doctor: I guess they didn't want to take it to their superiors. John sustained a concussion from the fall, But how do they explain these burns?
Something unusual happened here. What was stolen?
Taelon plasma. We bring it in for fatal cases. It puts people in stasis. They can live indefinitely until a cure is found.
Yes, I've heard. Wonderful stuff. Can he corroborate this?
He's been unconscious, But he saw whatever "it" was.
Could you help a computer artist and create a composite image?
I can do better that that. Over here is john's video badge. He wears it on his uniform as backup. Nobody ever looks at it.
Okay.
Whatever blew out the lobby window, also took out our security system. Okay. It's a little jumpy, But it will let them see exactly what happened. Oh, my god!
That's interesting. Who has seen this?
I just.. found it. I was waiting for john to wake up to look at it.
Thank you, you've been very resourceful.
[ Blasting ]
Renee: I found Frank Tate on the F.B.I. Duty roster.
What's his current assignment?
Classified.
He's temporarily attached to Sandoval's personal staff.
Where did you find him?
Augur's dossier on Tate was very complete. I trailed him to a place where Ron might like to swim.< Get on down here.
Renee: May I take you to your cubicle, sir?
Bouncer: Number card?
We have some specials tonight, If you'd like to hear them.
Liam: That was smooth. How did you get in?
Renee: Makeup and costume rental. It's a sex club, not a bank. I used the employee entrance. He's in the second booth. This is your chance to reconsider. You cross this bridge, everything changes.
You know the saying, You have to change, to remain the same. I'm not going to give him much.
You could have killed him once before and you froze. Are you sure you want to go in there, alone?
[ Door swishing ]
Ron: I can't relax. I need a memory block for an hour,
Perhaps two.
Liam: Sorry, It will have to wait. You've been selling the taelons a lie.
I want to hear it.
Liam: Eleven days ago You abducted Da'an from the washington embassy, and sold him to a Jaridian.
Ron: Da'an was abducted, that's true, but I found him in a pirate freighter with you, a renegade pilot, and a Jaridian spy.
I'm Da'an's protector. I had a reason to be there.
Ah, well, let's be careful about our facts, major. Protector records show That your whereabouts are unaccounted for, whereas I was officially the broker of a deal for the taelon shuttle craft stolen by captain Marquette.
Stop lying, Sandoval. I'm on to you. You're conspiring with the Jaridians. Tell me where to find Lili.
We haven't had contact.
I had a shot at you before. I looked you in the eye and I flinched. That's over. If I don't find Lili, I will come back and kill you.
Jay: Rise and shine. We've got blue algae, Six kinds of omega fatty acids to run down free radicals, and for flavour, a blend of cruciferous vegetables.
Augur: You couldn't have got a latte?
Drink it, your system needs a boost. Also, you need this: A one way ticket to Singapore. Diplomatic status: No customs, no immigration. I made it myself.
You're the best.
Don't be so stingy, I'm better that that.
I'm counting on you to take care of my friends. Whatever they need, street, keep a list. I'll make it all up to you, some day.
You got it. I'm going to miss your skinny little butt.
Liam: Hey, Augur. Augur?
Jay: It's about time, you showed up.
How did you get down here?
Spare me the Q and A. Augur gave you a personal pass phrase. Use the damn thing. I need to get busy.
Augur [on TV]: I see you've met Jay Street. She's helping you as a favour to me. Trust her. Her real name is Juliette, but don't call her that Or she'll give you a bruise.
Jay: Believe it.
Until you hear from me, it's all yours. Tell Lili that I love her, And I hope she got home okay.
Jay: Man, this mainframe is screwed. You cross-linked his data with his volatile s-dram. We're now looking at an ex-computer.
Liam: If you're here to help, don't criticize. Besides, what do you do?
Everything, all the time. In your case, Whatever you need. You're seeking Lili Marquette, captain, marine corps?
Last time I saw her, she used a portal, but no D.N.A. Match is in the system.
I can do this.
Lili: She's cooler, now.
Vorjak: The taelon energy will stabilize her. She will need it, almost continuously. It is not a cure, Lili. The plasma leaves a toxic residue. She can only tolerate so much.
[ Shuttle craft engine roaring ]
Vorjak: This is why I had you bring us here. This is our only hope. Even if I do not survive, you must leave earth. I will die contented knowing that both my wife and child will live.
Liam: The only way to get off earth is in taelon shuttles, which are used exclusively by companions, except for where taelon engineers use them to supervise construction--
Jay: Of taelon co-ventures, which means taelon energy. It could be for the kid.
No, there's too much security around there.
A desperate mother with a sick baby She'll do anything. Okay, Check this out. Here's an old industrial site in Seneca falls. The taelons are building a cold-fusion reactor. There's a shuttle landing pad to transport the engineers. Last night, taelon plasma was stolen from the hospital. Then the hospital blew up.
Lili wouldn't do that, But Sandoval would, to cover it up.
Three days ago, Thelma Portalis arrived in Seneca falls, by portal.
Who's that?
You've got me. She's on the F.B.I.'S world wanted list. She also has the same D.N.A. As Lili Marquette.
Lili: The guard is gone.
Vorjak: [ breathing heavily ] The guard post will be unmanned for 15 minutes.
A new communication?
A new communication, sent by long frequency sound waves, propagates through rocks and water. Your species will not hear it.
Was it from Sandoval?
He is our only hope. He has placed a shuttle beyond the fence. Once you are aboard, safely, Transfuse Arial with the last of the plasma energy.
You're coming with us.
Go, take my weapons. Go!
[ Baby crying weakly ]
Liam: Lili!
Lili: Stay away from me, Liam.
Lili, did Sandoval send this shuttle for you?
It flies, Liam! Her temperature is 106. I should have had her off this planet hours ago.
Renee: Where's Vorjak?
Lili: Stay away! [ Blasting ] I'll do whatever it takes to save my daughter!
Liam: You can't trust Sandoval. You don't fit his version.
Renee: He does not want you alive, you're a threat.
Liam: Sandoval knows your baby is sick.
Renee: She's not the Jaridian solution. Now, she's a liability.
Liam: Stay out of the shuttle! Don't risk it, Lili!
Lili: Get back, Liam, I'm taking off!
Liam: I'm going to check the service hatch. If you energize the core, I'm dead.
If I don't, my baby is dead! Don't make me do this!
Vorjak: Lili, wait, let him make sure it is safe.
[ Energy shilling ]
Renee: She's energizing the core.
Liam: Its a bomb. Get down!
[ Whizzing ] [ Blasting ]
Liam: The core is safe, now. Go with them, Vorjak.
Vorjak: No, my body is about to incinerate. I will not endanger my wife and child.
Liam: Convert the taelon energy in this power capsule. It should give you enough time. Now, get moving!
Lili: Liam, I almost killed you.
Take them to where they'll be safe.
You've got to understand..
You were protecting your child, The most primal thing there is. Save your family and send me a message when you can.
[ Engines humming ] [ Whooshing ]
Liam: I figured I'd be gone long before you faded away. I guess, in my heart, I thought you'd live forever. Maybe, next time around... ...We'll get our chance, to work it all out. You were the best friend you could be, Da'an.
[ Energy shilling ] [ Crackling and tinkling ]
Da'an: Do not be alarmed, Liam. Despite appearances to the contrary, I am quite well. But I was touched by your sentiments, Just now.
I thought you were dead.
I was forced to save myself From destruction by the Jaridian. I had no weapon. Fortunately, the state of crystalline hibernation is unknown to them.
Or me.
My duplicity was unselfish. Captain Marquette was giving birth to a hybrid. I knew it would die, unless I cooled it with my energy.
How did you know that?
Our eugenics work with Jaridian hybrids. We have proved That crossbreeding with humans or taelons Will not repair their flaw. We have tried all combinations.
You used women from earth In experiments with Jaridians?
It is survival; we are at war.
That phoney human skin of yours keps fooling me. Forget what I said. You've done more harm than good.
Zu'or: A defective shuttle?
Ron: Apparently it was a fireball of photon energy. The staff at the landing pad saw the explosion.
But, no investigation?
Engineering assigns purview to mother ship security.
Then, you will return to duty. You have had sufficient rest?
More than sufficient, Zu'or, thank you. I was thinking, Now that the Jaridian threat is removed, You must be relieved.
I was thinking just the opposite. We intercepted a signal from inter-dimensional space, Near the Jaridian sector.
It was in code.
Ron: It must be a spurious emission.
We have no shuttles that far away.
[ Electronic twittering ]
Computer: Scrambled transmission, Permission to decode? Kincaid's eyes only.
Liam: Permission to decode.
Lili: Liam, I think someone wants to say hello.
[ Baby chortling ]
Lili: We're nearly out of range for the shuttle's transmitter. We wanted to say goodbye... ...Because, who knows how long it will be?
[ Baby laughing ]
Lili: Thank you, Liam, for Arial. We love you.
