Our greatest fear has been realized.
The Taelon Commonality has been invaded.
The invader is most certainly a human.
We must find this person immediately.
If this human can invade the Commonality
the damage he can do to
Taelons is incalculable.
My implants will
investigate immediately.
Protective custody for this
invader is not sufficient.
He must be killed.
Loosing your edge, Mr. Corr?
What the hell do you want?
That's no way to talk to
the man who saved your life.
I have an assignment for you.
Ronald,
your assignments are bad luck.
No, thanks.
What makes you think
you can say "no" to me?
I don't want Boone anywhere near this.
I don't care what you want!
Okay.
Who's the target?
I'll be in touch.
Three years ago they came,
forever altering the future of humanity.
William Boone's life has been destroyed.
A man caught between two worlds.
Assigned protector to the Companions;
undercover agent for the Liberation.
An alien implanted
cyber-virus expands his mind.
Controlling a bio-engineered
weapon of unprecedented power.
William Boone searches for the truth.
When the intruder is identified,
I will look to you to
execute my directive.
Of course.
I can't believe we've got to provide
securities of Da'an to get his palm read.
I take it you're non-believer.
Hey, hey!
If these were the real psychics they
would've predicted this cold snap in Boston
and they'd picked Maui instead.
I think you'd be surprised, but
in the meantime, I want you
Wait, wait, wait, I'm getting something.
I think I'm getting a vibe. I'm sensing
that you would like me
to check the perimeter.
See, this place's already
having effect on you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
our guests have arrived.
Would you, please, be sitted.
Ladies and gentlemen, Katya Petrenko.
Mr. Sato, you may now begin.
A triangle.
Doesn't take that much
to excite these people.
You are not impressed?
Come on. She's gonna get
some right just by guessing.
It's like a bad nightclub act.
Do you think you could guess that well?
A star.
That is not correct.
I did sense a star.
Sorry, but it does look
like a circle to me.
Please.
You held the circle
over this, did you not?
Yes.
Your mother died recently.
This belonged to her.
Your attachment to this
necklace called out to me.
That's what I was hearing.
Going over your gambling accounts?
No. Looking at my next acquisition.
Did you access this just to impress me?
- Why would I want to impress you?
- You tell me.
Sorry to disappoint you.
So, I guess you've heard about
the invasion on the Taelon
Commonality? Yes, of course.
And I bet Boone has been charged with
finding who the mystery psychic was.
God, it's really irritating.
Well, I'm just trying to
impress you.
Go ahead, impress me.
Impress me with your
investigative skills.
Boone seems to figure you have
an interest in the psychic arena.
- He figured right.
- Right.
Then we need all the information you can
find on a particular psychic named Katya
Petrenko! The star psychic from Russia.
Thanks.
I need you to come
back tomorrow morning.
Great. You'll have
the information I need?
Ah, I want to take you somewhere.
Augur, I don't think I have time to
Tomorrow.
Allow me to introduce Miss Petrenko.
Please, call me Katya.
We have heard much about your gifts.
We are honored by your presence here.
This was the right year to come.
What is your meaning?
You must change your approach to humans.
Your way of thinking will lead
to the destruction of
humanity and the Taelon race.
I am here tonight because of you.
I appreciate that, but I'm afraid
you're mistaking me for someone else.
No, Mr. Boone, there's no mistake.
Every moment that we delay
increases the risk to the Commonality
and to the future of the Taelon race.
I have no doubt that
Miss Petrenko is the human
who has invaded the Commonality.
What is the basis for
this determination?
She challenged me in
public without fear.
I expect more of you than to reach such
a conclusion with so little foundation.
Time is of the essence
in finding the invader.
We should interview all of the psychics.
We must also be prepared
for the possibility
that more than one human has been
able to invade the Commonality.
There is wisdom in your words, Da'an.
Proceed.
Here you are.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Sure.
I just wasn't ready to
go back to the hotel.
You gave Zo'or an earful tonight.
You should know who you're dealing here.
If you continue to criticize Zo'or,
he will strike back.
I only say what I feel.
Yeah, well, those kinds of statements
could get you into a lot of troubles.
I'd be careful.
I don't have the time to be careful.
My time to act is now.
Very cryptic words. What do they mean?
When I was compelled to
come to the conference
I felt my purpose was to expose Zo'or,
and make everyone understand
the futility of his beliefs.
And now?
When I saw you
I realized that you were the
reason I was compelled to come here.
William, you're in grave danger.
I know you're working with Jonathan
Doors
against the Companions.
Have you learned anything
new about this woman?
Nothing we didn't already know.
Do you believe that Katya Petrenko
has special abilities, Zo'or?
She poses a threat to the Synod.
It is time to stop her.
I've made the necessary contact.
He's ready to move on my order.
Then give him the order. Now.
- I'll brief Da'an
- You will not.
This is my order and it
shall be shared with no one.
Certainly.
I demand success.
I will not disappoint you.
That would be most wise.
I understand why you have to deny this.
I know the danger you're in.
I'm sorry, but you're mistaken.
You are a natural leader.
You are at your best when
people need you the most.
I'm sorry I've put you in this position.
But I feel very strongly that
my time left on Earth is short.
You're the only one who can help me.
You're kidding, right?
Do I look like I'm kidding?
If this is why you brought
me here, then I am leaving!
Okay, fine, leave.
But I wouldn't advise it.
Oh, really?
I thought you wanted to find
out about Katya Petrenko.
How are you?
It's good to see you.
Lili,
nice to finally feel you in my presence.
Thank you.
Yes, of course, Augur
has told me about you.
Really?
Cuz he hasn't said a
thing to me about you.
That shouldn't surprise you.
Oh, I guess it doesn't.
Marie is the one to talk to about Katya.
As you can see she's also
blessed with psychic abilities.
You're finding it hard
to take me seriously.
I ah I really mean no disrespect
Would it surprise you to
learn that the US government
pursued Marie for years to
join their research projects?
And you refused?
I wasn't interested in sharpening
my skills for military applications.
And now the government is
working with the Taelons.
And I am certainly not
interested in helping them.
I'm afraid I don't really
believe in psychic abilities.
I know belief is hard for you, Lili.
It's difficult to have faith
when it was destroyed at so
young an age by your father.
I'd rather not talk about this.
When you forgive your father,
you'll find your faith again.
It's not gonna happen.
I understand.
But you should know your
brother never blamed you
for not protecting him from your father.
In fact,
just the opposite.
You were the shining light in his life.
Are we through here?
Katya is holding a meeting for the
public this afternoon. I'm sending Marie.
If Katya is a phony, Marie will know.
Believe me.
I'm beginning to.
Lili, I'd like to show you something.
Please.
Thank you.
Oh, this is amazing!
You know, I've seen this
painting at a museum in Paris.
It's a beautiful reproduction.
Do you think I have a
reproduction in my gallery?
You stole it?
Personally, no, but by
association perhaps.
Oh, come on. I don't believe you.
Could you remember when you asked
me what I do with my earnings?
Well, now you know.
This is my passion.
And I go to great length to
obtain what I'm passionate about.
Thank you for coming, Marie.
Please, tell William Boone
everything you've seen.
Everything all right, Miss Petrenko?
Is your concern genuine, Agent Sandoval?
Of course. Why do you ask?
You know very well why.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Is everything ready?
Right.
When you activate the device
she must be the only one killed.
I understood your instructions
the first time you gave them to me.
My program is very precise.
The poison's targeted
at her DNA specifically.
Understand this very clearly. Mr. Corr,
there's no room for error.
There never is.
Boone,
there's someone I really
think you should meet.
Who is she?
She's a friend of Augur's.
- Look, Lili, I'm sorry, I
- She's a psychic.
I asked her to bring me.
You and Katya Petrenko are linked.
You know this to be true.
You have felt Katya's power.
I have.
I've been around psychics all my life
and I have never experienced
anything like I did today
when Katya Petrenko touched me.
She's operating on a different
plane that never existed before.
What does this have to do with me?
All I know
is that you and you alone
are Katya's main focus.
She believes that you're her reason
for being at this moment in her life.
Excuse me.
- Hi.
- I need to take you somewhere.
I thought you're busy at the conference.
I'm free until the
closing banquet tonight.
Please, meet me at the
corner of Walburn and Pratt.
Yeah I'll see you in 10 minutes.
According to Augur's friend, Boone
and Katya are linked in some way.
- I know she's psychic
- No need to make excuses, Lili.
These abilities have been
proven time and again.
I've also observed that the Taelons
have conducted an extensive
testing in psychic arena.
It's been a source of great concern to me.
Intrusion alert! Intrusion
alert! This is not a drill!
Are you crazy? Bringing
her here without
Jonathan, stop. I didn't bring her here.
What the hell are you saying?
She brought me here. She
knew exactly where we were.
How many people know your whereabouts?
If Katya was working with the Taelons,
they would've raided this hideout already.
All right. Back off.
Cancel alert, reset
the security systems.
Then why are you here?
I feel death and
destruction coming to Earth.
I have an understanding in my head
that I can't access. I need
William to help me get to it.
Understanding of what?
Not sure.
I need William
to help me sort it out.
The psychic senses are powerful
but not as exact as physical senses.
My abilities are interpretive.
The Taelons' interest
in psychic phenomenon
has been more intense
than I would've thought.
Yeah, look at Zo'or's reaction.
He's certainly acting
like Katya is a threat.
I am.
There may be a way for you to
convey what you know to Boone.
For years we've been trying to
extract information from one brain
and convey it into another.
I think I finally succeeded
with a little help from some
borrowed Taelon technology.
Are you saying Boone would
be able to read Katya's mind?
I, actually, will be transferring
Katya's thoughts into Boone's brain.
Could my implant
function as a translator?
Have you tried this procedure
using an implant as the recipient?
No, not yet.
Well, we can't forget
Katya's psychic ability
and her willingness to
convey this information.
Essentially, I would
create a hardwire connection
between Katya's brain and Boone's CVI.
What are the risks for Katya?
Well, if we succeed in
making this connection,
your CVI would be pulling
synaptic impulses from her brain
at such an increased rate of speed
that could be very dangerous
for her, perhaps, even fatal.
There's no choice.
I can't tell you how I know
this will work, but I do know it.
No!
That is not your decision
to make. It's mine.
As long as I'm lying
on the table next to you
it's my decision as much as it's yours.
And I won't be
responsible for your death!
We'll find another way.
Yes, Da'an.
Bring Ms. Petrenko to
my office immediately.
As you wish.
Are you attempting to invade
the Taelon Commonality?
As I understand the Commonality,
it's your way of psychicly connecting
all members of the Taelon race.
That is an accurate assessment.
Then no, I am not.
When you roam in your psychic universe,
do you always know your destination?
Not always.
There are times when I
don't know what I am seeking,
and I just let my mind
to follow its own course.
Then it is possible that
your wanderings took you
to the Taelon collective
consciousness unintentionally.
I suppose.
But if I had experienced what
you describe as your Commonality,
I certainly would know that.
I feel that you are lying.
I must concur.
I do feel a strong connection to you.
And I also feel it.
But it is not related
to your Commonality.
It's different.
We are getting nowhere.
Your presence is no longer required.
Boone, please, escort
Ms. Petrenko to the conference.
Is it not now obvious
that Katya Petrenko is the one
who has invaded the Commonality?
Although I did not feel
the same link with her
as all Taelon feel as a
part of the Commonality,
I would agree that this
woman is connected to us
in some way that we
have not seen in humans.
I feel as Da'an.
There's an undeniable force
emanating from this human.
But it is not clear that this is the force
that has broken through our Commonality.
The wisest course is
to continue the inquiry
with the balance of
the psychics as planned.
We shall continue.
I never got the chance to thank you.
For what?
For allowing yourself to
believe in Marie and in me.
You're welcome.
Your faith wasn't
really destroyed, Lili.
Look for it again and you will find it.
You've got to get to Dr. Belman's
and access the knowledge
I need to convey to you.
If you don't deliver the speech,
Sandoval�s men will
notify him immediately.
We won't be able to delude him long
enough to complete the procedure.
Tell Belman to prepare
for the procedure.
We're on the move as soon
as she finishes with the speech.
We'll be there in 30 minutes. We
really don't have much of a window.
I'll be ready.
Don't question yourself, William.
It's supposed to happen this way.
I envy you, your ability to so certain.
Have fun.
Well, well, well
Wouldn't want you to miss
this for the world, pal.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
It has been my honor to
share the last few days
with so many of my esteemed colleagues.
I haven't had the opportunity to travel
outside my native Russia for many years.
There's a guy on the third level.
I want you to go check him out.
But this gathering has had
a profound impact on me.
We all share a bond born
from this gift we possess.
It is vital that we use our power
to make better of the human condition.
To show others how to more
fully understand themselves.
Only then can we feel deserving
of our special abilities.
No!
Katya! Katya!
- She has trouble breathing.
- The ambulance is on the way.
It was Corr. I should've
killed him when I had a chance.
Sandoval wanted Katya dead?
Sandoval would never act on
his own. Must've been Zo'or.
Or Da'an.
We've got to do mind-sharing now.
No, we have to keep you alive. We
have to get you to a hospital first.
Once she's in a hospital we'll
never get her away from the Taelons.
The only chance is to take her
to Belman's. She can treat her.
You think Katya can
survive the shuttle ride?
I don't know
- Take me Dr. Belman's.
- Katya, no.
Let me fulfill my purpose.
It's our only chance.
We'll load her in the shuttle.
Try and stall Sandoval as
long as you can, then join us.
Move out of the way!
Just relax, try and breathe, okay?
You must take the shuttle to
the conference immediately.
Report to us as soon as you arrive.
Yes.
A chemical weapon has been
detonated at the conference center!
Where is Katya Petrenko?
It appears that she was the
target. She was seriously injured.
Boone's with her right now and the
ambulance. I'll call you from the hospital.
Have you identified the perpetrator?
Yes.
I want him brought to Da'an's
office immediately for interrogation.
Boone's it him with a skrill blast.
The local police is
detaining him for questioning.
Did you hear me, Captain?
I want him brought here now!
Yes, sir!
They're right behind me.
She's still having trouble
breathing. She's losing strength.
You've got to contact
Sandoval right now.
Sandoval!
Boone!
- Where the hell are you?
- I've rushed Katya to Dr. Belman's office.
What's her condition?
Critical. When can you get here?
Okay. Do it.
It's a very fast-acting poison.
No one else even got sick. Why
was Katya the only one affected?
This poison is specifically
matched to her DNA.
Her internal organs are shutting down.
Will, I'm sorry. There's nothing
more I can do to save her.
William, it's time.
All right, let's do it.
We're ready.
The images are flowing into the CVI.
It's all up to Boone now.
Do you understand?
Sandoval's gonna be here in one minute!
Help me.
Ma'el was an ancient Taelon who
lived on this planet for centuries
and came to love humanity.
But he did everything he could
to prevent his fellow
Taelons from coming to Earth.
But why?
He didn't believe the Taelons
would understand humans as he did.
He was afraid they would
never treat us as equals.
He also feared that the
Taelons would come to Earth
in spite of his message to stay away.
He gave humanity a gift.
My gift.
And the potential to tap
into the Taelon Commonality.
Ma'el thought that with this ability
we could better
understand the Taelons
and convince them that we could
indeed become their partners.
And he did this without the
knowledge of the Taelon's Synod.
ESP and psychic abilities
This was from the Taelons?
They were actually involved
in altering the course
of the human development.
I was given this gift to
give it to you, William.
Use it.
Save us.
You are the only one who can.
I'll do my best.
Life and death touch each
other in an endless circle.
A separation of death
is but an illusion.
She said that Ma'el
gave humanity this gift
so that we could commune
more effectively with Taelons,
and convince you that we could
work together as partners.
Ma'el apparently did this without
the consent or knowledge of the Synod.
Ma'el would not have kept his
actions secret from the Synod
without a compelling reason.
Is that why the Synod
ordered Katya's death?
I think it is best that we
honor Ma'el's intentions
and not disclose his
actions to the Synod.
I think that would be wise.
Boone.
It was my wish to know Katya better.
- To understand her gift.
- I know.
She will be greatly missed.
It is time.
We have endured the most
profound invasion yet
of our most precious link to each other.
I fear that future invasions
are inevitable.
