The Taelons introduced interdimensional travel for human customers.
Jamie Sims (William Greenblatt), a young deaf-mute boy, and his
mother Anna (Diana Reis), were two of their customers en route
to New York. They entered the interdimensional portal at the Los
Angeles airport, but something went wrong during their journey.
Anna arrived in New York, but Jamie was missing. William Boone
(Kevin Kilner) and Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores) arrived to calm
the hysterical mother and find her son. They were well aware that
there would be mass hysteria if Anna told the press about the accident.
Dr. Walken (Michael Burgess), the scientist in charge of the portal,
seemed equally unnerved by Jamie's disappearance. As Sandoval threatened
Anna into silence, Jamie reappeared in the portal, disoriented
but unharmed. All were shocked when Jamie, suddenly able to speak
and hear, called out to his mother.
The Taelon Synod was in an uproar about the witnesses to Jamie's
disappearance and transformation, knowing they posed a greater
risk of exposure. Da'an (Leni Parker) faced off with Zo'or (Anita
La Selva) about the real reason the Taelons had offered interdimensional
travel to humans. Selected people were being whisked out of interdimensional
stasis for experiments and fertilization. For the time being,
the Synod backed Zo'or, but Da'an had grave misgivings
about the Companions'
new activities. In the meantime, Boone took Jamie to be examined by Dr. Christine
Park (Kate Trotter), a Resistance collaborator. Dr. Park discovered
that Jamie had been implanted with an immature CVI, just powerful
enough to restore his missing senses. Boone realized the Taelons
were harvesting humans for experimentation. Unexpectedly, Boone's
sister Sarah (Wendy Lyon), in town on job interviews, announced
she was three months pregnant. Learning that she travelled through
the interdimensional portal, Boone was alarmed. Was Sarah pregnant
from her last relationship, or had the Taelons somehow impregnated
her? Before Boone could get answers from Dr. Walken, he discovers
the doctor had apparently committed suicide.
In reality, Sandoval's men had killed Walken, who was ready to
go public about the Taelon conspiracy. Working with Captain Lili
Marquette (Lisa Howard), Boone was able to find Walken's hidden
records, which gave him unauthorized entry into the interdimensional
portal. After meeting with Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) and Augur
(Richard Chevolleau), the Resistance agreed to let the research
scientist Sahjit Jinnah (Damon D'Oliveira) pose as a decoy. They're
sure he'd be selected by the Taelons since his high I.Q. made him
an appealing subject. As the Resistance prepared for their infiltration,
Boone asked Sarah to see Dr. Park to find out if her pregnancy
had been affected by the Taelons. Dr. Park had also outfitted Sahjit
with a tracking device so the Resistance could monitor him wherever
he went in interdimensional travel. At the same time, Sahjit would
remain conscious through his travels, unlike other passengers.
As predicted, Sahjit was chosen by the Taelons and was brought
to a secret laboratory where he saw other subjects suspended
in stasis as the Taelons pursued
their studies. Frightened by being cut from his link to underground headquarters,
he escaped into the surreal surroundings, completely alone. Meanwhile, Dr.
Park informed Sarah that she was not three months pregnant, but had been
fertilized with a fast-developing fetus during her transportation.
Overwhelmed, Sarah
fled. In search of his sister, Boone entered the portal where he met Sandoval,
who had been alerted that one of the Taelons' subjects had escaped. Upon
their arrival at the Taelon lab, Boone and Sandoval saw
the dozens of human experimentation
subjects including, to Boone's horrific surprise, Sarah. Zo'or confirmed
that Sarah was implanted with a Taelon engineered fetus
and Boone had to feign implant
disinterest while trying to save both his sister and Sahjit. Unsuccessful
in his attempts, Sarah suddenly disappeared through the
portal and Sandoval captured
Sahjit, who discovered that the Taelon lab was actually based on the moon. Sahjit was brought to Taelon headquarters where he was grilled
by Sandoval, Zo'or and Da'an, who suspected his connection to Doors
and the Resistance. When Sahjit refused to cooperate he was sent
back to the Taelon lab by Zo'or to be tortured.
Unobserved, Da'an placed a tiny device on the back of Sahjit's
neck. Although a group of Resistance operatives attempted to free
Sahjit, Sandoval managed to drag him into the interdimensional
portal. But at the end of the journey, Sandoval found himself in
the Taelon lab without Sahjit, who had mysteriously arrived safely
in Los Angeles. Upon examination, the Resistance discovered the
device Da'an secretly affixed to him. Boone and Lili discussed
Sahjit's theory that Da'an deliberately helped Sahjit escape by
giving him this device that masked his genetic code while in the
portal.
Lili located Sarah in a Los Angeles hospital and Boone, concerned
for his sister's well-being, took her to Dr. Park who confirmed
that Sarah had lost her baby. Boone now realized the fetus was
harvested during interdimensional stasis. As he said goodbye to
his sister, Boone knew he had not fully convinced her that her
pregnancy was part of a Taelon experiment.
Still trying to learn more about the Taelon agenda, Boone met
again with Jamie Sims, who was still enjoying his newfound gifts
of hearing and speech. Jamie, as planned by the Companions, was
registered to study at the Taelon Science Academy. Although Jamie
had benefited from the Taelons' experiments, Boone remained deeply
concerned about the future of all who have traveled through the
portal.
