All language subtitles for EFC 0113 - The Secret of Strandhill-eng

Ah, here it is, ladies and gentlemen.

Well now.

Welcome to Strand Hill Stone Circle.

This is a megalithic
wonder build by my ancestors

3,000 years BC.

How did they get rocks up the hills?

Ah, that's a very good question.
Nobody knows the answer.

I mean, it's an
impossible feat, isn't it?

I mean before the wheel, some of these
big bluestones here,

they weigh 4 tons.

And they were cut from a
quarry seven miles away.

4 tons? That's impossible!

Yes, yes, it's impossible. You're right.

Yeah, but here they are.

Let me show you where the
real magic of these place lies.

Come on, come on.

- Take my hand.
- Careful now.

Mind your heads.

It's rather dark in here.

There're 3 steps here.

We're in a passage way that
leads to a burial chamber.

And it was some Brits who
excavated on this in a century ago.

Look at this!

These symbols mark
the alleged burial site

of a mystical king.

Yeah, the Celts believed very
deeply in mystical kings and queens.

These mystical kings, they were

tall and noble creatures
with silvery tongues.

Ah, and the almighty strong was
their hold of the Celtic minds.

Damned government! It wasn't
supposed to start until tomorrow.

What was that?

It's all right, it's all right.
It's nothing to worry about.

They're just blasting
the new highway, you know.

They're opening it to the
United Republic of Ireland.

It's all right, it's nothing at all.

Let's get out of here!

Oh, my God!

Subtitled by Axarion

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.

I bring the message we have all
awaited since our arrival on Earth.

Evidence has been discovered which
will lead to the remains of Ma'el.

Please, elaborate.

A mosaic was uncovered this
morning in a passage tomb

in the Midlands of Ireland.

It depicts the image of Ma'el.

Your experience in guiding the search
for Ma'el's remains since our arrival

makes you the logical candidate
to lead the current search.

I will send my implants immediately.

We all understand the
ramifications of this search.

Our mandate was to occupy this planet

only until Ma'el's
message could be verified.

If his conclusions prove to be true,

we shall leave Earth forever.

Want another pint, O'Malley?

Oh, sure, gaffer, I got a
terrible thirst on me today.

When get a pint, while you're at it,

why don't you pull a pint for
all the rest of the boys here.

Cheers, O'Malley!
Thanks, O'Malley!

Have you gone mad, O'Malley?

Mad is it?

I suffer from a disease of the heart.

Which only money can cure.

Bloody epidemic around here!

Ah, you can say that again.

But today, boys, ah, today...

I found the cure.

And it's gonna make me bloody rich!

- A rich man Tim O'Malley!
- I tell you this!

The next time that I
walk through that door,

yes, I'll be looking like a wealthy man.

Give us another one, gaffer.

Soon they're gonna pay me a lot
of money for you, little darling.

Shut up the rear!

You follow me inside!

Now.

Where's Tim O'Malley?

Haven't seen him.

He's here.

Find him!

Right.

I thought you said he wasn't here.

Well, surely, if your men
can't find him, then...

These are his fingerprints.

How can you possibly know that?

Are you challenging me?

O'Malley shows his face here
again, you'll be the first to know.

That's better.

Your contact in Ireland is
Lieutenant Siobhan Beckett.

You will be looking for the
remains of a Taelon named Ma'el.

Ma'el?

I don't recognize the name.

Ma'el disappeared on Earth
nearly 2,000 years ago.

In the beginning of our star travel

we sent a scientist, Ma'el, to Earth.

It was a one way journey.

A scientist? For what purpose?

To study the human species.

To determine

if the meeting of our two cultures

could be mutually beneficial.

Is Ma'el the last Taelon to

study here on Earth?

Ma'el

was the first Taelon
to visit your planet.

His knowledge is the most
extensive and therefore

the most valuable.

Da�an,

are you certain that Ma'el is dead?

Yes.

We felt Ma'el's release.

Our bodies

have evolved

to where they are
composed primarily of energy.

When Ma'el's energy dispersed,

it sent a ripple through
Taelon consciousness.

Than what purpose
Ma'el's body would serve?

None.

We seek Ma'el's research
on your human ancestors.

You must find the data log

Ma'el used to record his research.

As a highly evolved species,

what could you possibly learn
from a study of primitive men.

Selective evolution can
leave a race vulnerable

to unanticipated events.

A primitive race

often bears those traits
helpful in contesting those

unanticipated events.

Prep to land.

Lieutenant Beckett, security
for the UK Companion.

Agent Sandoval.

Commander Boone.

Captain Marquette.

What do you have on Tim O'Malley?

A member of his tour group
reported the discovery of the mural.

We merely missed to
catch his at a local pub.

We think he has the missing piece.

Why don't you show us the mural.

Nothing gets inside this
perimeter while I'm gone!

You so much as a field mouse you
catch it and detain it for questioning.

You certainly have your troops
worked out in pretty good shape.

Belfast militia,

antiterrorism unit.

After the Companions came

and helped us form the
United Republic of Ireland,

there was no IRA to fight.

Can't very well fight for nationalism when
you see the Earth and its true perspective.

Is that why the Companions
chose to serve them?

Because of your antiterrorist expertise?

They knew I was willing to
die for a cause I believe in.

Or kill for one.

And you?

Covert Ops, decorated SI vet.

You could surely serve
the Companions well.

I ah...

I feel like I serve them well as it is.

Yes, but Companion protectors
are blessed with gifts

that make a woman's life more...

enlightening.

Here it is.

This is remarkable!

Buddha.

Christ.

Shiva, Moses.

Religious leaders of our world.

The hillside folk of this region,

they believed in a mystical king.

They described him as god and not god.

Like he was something in between.

A Taelon with advanced technology
would've appeared to the ancients as a god.

Or, at very least, a king.

The colloquia of the ancients says

"The mystical king came
down from the heaven"

"galloping for the
clouds on a white horse."

You suppose that was Ma'el?

I make no superstition, Lieutenant.

None. Until I have all the facts.

I find intuition a valuable ally.

How old is the mosaic?

We utilized carbon and
hydrogen ageing techniques.

The mosaic's no more
than 2,000 years old.

How do you account for the
stone wall laid over it?

Success of generations used
this tomb as a burial site.

Each one left behind
its own memorial marker.

Taelon script, Boone.

Can you read it?

I can only understand
some of the characters.

Might be an archaic dialect.

Da'an will have to interpret.

They've been here before!

They've been lying to us whole time!

This exactly the kind of information we need
to galvanize the world against the Taelons.

No, no.

The world is used to the idea

that the Taelons are on Earth.

People will accept that they've been
here before without much challenge.

The question is
"why were they here before?"

And the answer lies in Ma'el's research.

Yeah, but if Sandoval and
Beckett get to it first,

they'll take it straight to
Da'an and we will never see it!

All right. Go to Doors,

brief him and bring
back any tools he has

that will help us find Ma'el's tomb.

I have posted Zo'or

as the Companion representative
to the United Nations.

Was there a problem with
my performance in that role?

North America has proven to be
our most troubling assignment.

It is the Synod's expectation

that relieving you of some
of your responsibilities

will increase your efficiency.

I assume your role
with the United Nations

will require you to
be based in New York.

You assume correctly.

And I intend to spend more
time in Washington as well.

I welcome your council.

We found Taelon writings on the mosaic.

Would you interpret them?

I was under the impression
that you could now read Taelon.

This is apparently an ancient dialect.

The interpretation must be exact.

Zo'or has been appointed
the Companion ambassador

to the United Nations.

Transmit your data.

The message is from Ma'el.

What does it say?

"We stand upon the lowest,"

"We bow to the highest."

The rest of the message is missing.

The rest of the message is
on the piece of the mosaic

that was broken off and stolen.

Do these words mean anything to you?

These words are meaningless.

Clear evidence of Ma'el's deterioration.

It is the beginning of a riddle.

Find the missing piece of the
mosaic and complete the prose.

It will lead us to Ma'el.

Will do.

- Nice work!
- Thanks.

- Captain Marquette, congratulations!
- Jonathan!

Captain Marquette.

Jonathan, this is it!

This discovery is the first major step
in legitimizing our liberation movement.

Only if we find the Taelon's research.

We can still prove that
they've been here before.

That's not gonna sit
well with a lot of people!

Taelons are masters of spin control.

Without some solid
evidence of their purpose

they'll just come up with some plausible
reason for their earlier visits.

Most of the world will
swallow whatever they're told.

You don't give the human
beings enough credit, Jonathan.

Nobody likes to be lied to.

Really?

They don't seem to mind so far.

Do you have the equipment I requested.

Yes. We used that to
excavate this facility.

Good.

And Lili.

You have to find this
Taelon research first.

Or this whole exercise will be wasted.

I understand that, Jonathan.

We can uplink these
stills for identification.

So many religions.

So many gods.

You say the Celtic people around
here believed in the mystical king.

The seers wrote that the ghost of
the mystical king will return one day.

Maybe they've predicted the
arrival of the Companions?

"For all the hillside was haunted
by the magic folk come again;"

"And down in the heart-light enchanted
were opal-colored men."

Why are you staring
at me, Agent Sandoval?

I've ever met a female
cyber-viral implant.

You're proficient in its use.

Impressive.

Very impressive.

You know, I can't help but wonder,

how effectively a woman
can protect her Companion

given man's inherent physical strength?

I've always wondered whether the CVI
program would overwrite the male ego.

But you've just answered that question.

Sandoval, Da'an believes

the mosaic was created a
tombstone left behind by Ma'el

for other Taelons to find
after his transformation.

It may well be a tombstone, but it
doesn't mean Ma'el was buried here.

How can you be certain?

It's a passage grave.

Lots of bodies were interred here.

A king would be buried alone
and in an elaborate chamber.

Or high in the royal ring
fort with stone ramparts.

He'd be placed upright in full armor so
that he could see his enemies approach.

Even in death.

But where?

Could be anywhere on the cemetery.

What cemetery?

Stone circles like these are usually
found in a megalithic cemetery.

They can stretch out for miles.

Literally.

No, I don't see anything.

Well what you don't see

are dozens of monuments and tombs
hidden be the passage of time.

Sometimes they can look like
nothing without being excavated.

A pile of rocks or a grass mount.

How can we know for sure?

There's no way of knowing without
the full archeological dig.

Well, that could take months.

We can do a geographical survey.

The Bureau developed a software
that analyzes seismic impulses

to create detailed underground maps.

I can use multiple datasets

to generate a three-dimensional
map of these fields.

It should reveal the signature
of any camouflaged tomb

big enough to hide a Taelon.

I've got a satellite link up in a
computer back at the field command.

Good.

Is that Finnbeara?

That's right.

And that tavern on the outskirts serves
as the last known location of O'Malley.

Good. Captain Marquette
and I'll start there.

We've got to find O'Malley before he
does anything with the mosaic fragment.

He's been here his whole life.

He knows these hills better than anyone.

He could be anywhere.

I better get started then.

Let's get to work, Lieutenant.

With Sandoval's geographical program

I wouldn't be surprised they could turn
up Ma'el's burial chamber by morning.

We have to find O'Malley tonight.

But they won't give us much,
cuz we just smile and ask.

They might, if we make the right appeal.

I was afraid of this.

Come on.

Any guys like to drink?

I can drink anyone of
you under the table.

What do you want if you can?

Simple. Just a little information.

And what do I get if you can't?

I don't know. What do you want?

Her.

Okay, it's a deal.

Oh, really?

All right, lads, place your bets!

Just relax and enjoy the show.

All right, another five. Now
clear off, lads! All set then!

Both, this way.

You spit out a vile curse

into the face of your wretched opponent

and then you drink.

Curse, drink; curse, drink; curse, drink;
curse drink; and on like that! You got that?

Curse, drink? I think I got it.

Last man standing wins.

In the hell I wish you to be tormented

into the depth of the world pool

with 21 demons each
tearing your sunburn.

Oh, that's a good one!

Come on.

May your mother wear army boots.

I'll integrate the surface characteristics
of this detailed two-dimensional map

with our geographical data.

Were you able to pull
together what I requested?

All of it.

Satellite photos, contour maps,

sediment studies, geophysical charts,

even snapshots from tourists.

Good.

And what I'll do is

deploy this geographical
information over the service map

to generate that three-dimensional

model of the area.

And that will indicate underground
holes where Ma'el might be hidden?

That's correct.

And what else would be revealed?

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

The secrets of the
Irish are buried here.

You dig up this earth,

you uncover those secrets.

And some secrets should
never be revealed.

We...

are implants, Lieutenant.

We know our purpose.

We have nothing to hide.

Really?

And who are you, Agent Sandoval?

Underneath your CVI?

I want to work for the Companions.

I'm proud to have been recruited.

Do you realize that?

Even if it costs you your marriage?

That's your decision, Dee Dee.

I've made mine.

I'm a servant of the Companions.

As you should be.

Oh, I am.

Show me how you interpolate this data.

Your turn, Yank.

Are you insane, Boone?
Aren't you gonna quit now?

You're a mess!

Am I?

Yeah! Do you know what are you doing?

Can you even fire your
skrill when you're drunk?

My CVI doesn't allow my do get drunk.

A riddle?

Why would Ma'el leave
behind a human word game?

Riddles and mysteries,

they were popular among the Celtic people.

But Ma'el was not Celtic.

He was obviously not thinking clearly.

Perhaps he felt more comfortable

communicating in a human idiom.

If Ma'el's last
communications prove accurate,

our tenure on Earth will cease.

That decision is irreversible

given our current time table.

If Ma'el was more comfortable
communicating as a human,

I question the dependability
of his conclusions.

We cannot leave Earth on the
basis of inconclusive evidence.

However,

it would be fruitless to remain on Earth

if Ma'el was correct in his
assumption about humanity.

You

identify with this human race

to the greater extent than any Taelon.

Yet

you seem to be most
anxious to abandon Earth.

Why?

My only concern

is for the well-being
of the Taelon race.

We don't have the luxury of time.

Ma'el conducted extensive
analysis over many centuries.

If his research bears the ring of truth,

our only choice is to leave this planet.

Immediately.

May you be

affected with...

the itch.

And have no nails to scratch with.

All right. The deal was
you give up information!

Where's Tim O'Malley?

He stole an artifact up in
Strand Hill. We need to find him!

Yeah, come on! The deal was the
you suppose to answer our questions.

You deal wasn't with them.

It was with him.

All right, geo-reference
datasets have been entered.

Soil's geology, aerial photographs.

Time for the final interpolation.

Now let's see where our
tomb might be hidden.

Can you enlarge this one here?

How did you deduce that?
That's probably just an anomaly.

Call it intuition.

You disappoint me, Lieutenant.

As an implant I would've expected
you to abandon such a primitive

unreliable techniques.

On the contrary,

my intuition's never been sharper
since the implantation of my CVI.

Cruciform-shaped chamber,
usually reserved for royalty.

Those boulders above it are probably

what's left of the royal ring fort.

Looks good for our target.

Connor. Come on, Connor, wake up.

Hey there, handsome.

Come on. Time to claim your prize.

Connor, you won!

Oh, I did?

That's right, you did!

Time for you to take me home.

I'd like that very much, ma'am...

First you have to tell me

where I can find Tim O'Malley.

Find him?

He never left.

What do you mean? Connor! Come on!

Connor, what do you mean he never left?

A lot of good that did.

Not so fast.

Look at the floor around him.

Where's the water?

I�m a senior citizen! Don't hurt me!

Here! Take it!

Get outta there!

Let go of me!
I gave you what you want!

You! Out!

Calm down. We're not gonna hurt you.

Can you read what it says?

I've watched Da'an interpret
the beginning of the riddle.

I think I can finish it.

"But only... penetrating... vision"

"reveal..."

"source."

All right. So the
entire inscription reads:

"We stand on the lowest.
We bow to the highest."

"But only the penetrating vision
can reveal the source."

O'Malley, help us out here.

Why should I?

Because I'm asking you nicely.

Unless, of course, you'd
rather deal with Beckett.

Ah, no.

We believe the mosaic you
found might be a grave marker.

An alien grave marker? Oh, my God.

Maybe it points the
way to a burial chamber?

What do you think?

Ah, you know, you could be right.

There's lots of monuments
around here with puzzles on them.

But that riddles thing...

That doesn't ring any bells for me.

Could it have some hidden meaning?

Ah, yeah, no.

The trick with riddles
is not to dig too deep.

You just listen to the words

and then... may take
the most fair value.

I think I've got it. Let's go.

We're looking for a portal stone.

It should be large with...

This is the spot.

The tomb's beneath us.

Magnificent stone.

Such a shame to destroy it.

You have the geosonic?

It's looking for the frequency
for the sympathetic resonance.

It's found it.

I am curious.

Why do you wear your human facade?

It is clear that humans are much
more comfortable with Taelons

when we are in this state.

And with increased comfort

comes increased malleability.

I believe we've located
Ma'el's tomb, Da'an.

The passageway must've collapsed.

Probably centuries ago.

We have no time to excavate.

Can we have a visual?

No problem. We'll snake
in the optical line.

We stand upon the lowest,
we bow to the highest...

That's the highest!

Here's the lowest.

But only the penetrating
vision can reveal the source.

The tavern!

White Horse tavern!

Beckett said the mystical king would ride
through the clouds on a white stallion!

Let's get the geosonic.

Here we go.

10 meters.

15 meters.

Okay.

Open air, 21 meters.

It's definitely a burial chamber.

Wait. Hold.

Push it right there.

What is it?

It's ogham,

ancient Celtic alphabet,
very crude and simple.

Can you read it?

"May thy kingdom come."

With any luck, this should be the
very tomb that Ma'el is buried in.

It's not Ma'el.

It's a tomb of a human king.

There's nowhere to
go from here but down.

Maybe there's nothing down there.

Trust me.

Turn off! Turn it off!

That was close.

Incredible!

It's the Ma'hu'ra'va Galaxy.

Taelon homeworld.

Ma'el.

Come on, help me with this. On three.

One, two, three.

Again.

It must be the data log Da'an discussed.

Ma'el's research.

I guess, that's why the Taelons
didn't care about the body.

Do you understand this? What...

Yeah. He doesn't have
his research on humanity.

He's saying that he...

he desires to convey ah...

a different message to humanity.

What does it mean?
What does he say?

He says that if the Taelons
are hearing this message,

then they didn't heed his warning.

He told them not to come to Earth.

Not to come here under
any circumstances.

He didn't trust his fellow Taelons

to see us as he did.

He's asking his fellow Taelons

to treat us as equals...

Because in time...

He says that we will
become their equals.

Take it.

Let's get out of here.

You found the tomb.

Congratulations, Boone.

Da'an will be very pleased.

We were about to contact you.

How did you trace this site?

My field equipment picked
up seismic activity here.

Must've been when you blew up this hole.

I'll contact Da'an.

Yes. The Synod will require
Ma'el's research immediately.

Give them a hand.

Tell them never forget
us at White Horse tavern.

I will.

If you need a recommendation to
further your Companion career,

it would be my pleasure to assist you.

Thanks.

I'll think about it.

You're an exceptional
agent, Lieutenant Beckett.

And a faithful aid to the Companions.

Good luck to you.

Thank you, Agent Sandoval.

So are you.

We now must determine
our fate on this planet.

Ma'el destroyed his research.

it is now impossible
to verify his findings.

Ma'el's early messages indicated

that the human race was a
perfect complement to the Taelons.

Only later did Ma'el's messages indicate
that we should not come to Earth.

Ma'el changed course.

He specifically and emphatically

warned against coming to this planet.

The decision we make today goes to
the very survival of our species.

Let us contemplate.

You have all communed with me.

We're not of one mind.

But we now speak with one voice.

And we say today

that the future of Taelon
is inextricably bound

with the future of humanity.

We shall seek our destiny on this planet

or our extinction.
