Late at night, Carson Briggs (Alan Stenson) is alone in the New World Commonwealth Bank pouring over paperwork. He suddenly hears a hopeless cry and a blue phantasm begins to swirl around him. He is chased and tortured by the energy. The energy pushes him down onto the floor, whirls around him in a circular motion, and sets him on fire. Meanwhile, Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) is in a deep sleep and dreams of the exact same horrifying events that are happening to Carson Briggs. As Carson curls into the fetal position, Liam sits up and gasps for breath.

The next day, Liam hears of Briggs' death on the news and he goes to the death scene. He recalls the events of his dream to the investigating officer Ed Galvani (Michael Hogan). To ensure his credibility, Liam offers a piece of evidence the police had not yet found -- Briggs' ring. The ring is designed after the bank logo, but is also the ancient Taelon hieroglyphic for impurity.

On the mothership, Zo'or (Anita La Selva) discusses Briggs' untimely death with Sandoval (Von Flores). Zo'or informs Sandoval that he wishes to continue with his Special Agenda and orders Sandoval to ensure the investigation is finished quickly. Shortly after Sandoval leaves, the lights dim and Zo'or hears the same hopeless cry Briggs had before he died. Zo'or cries out and the lights become brighter.

Liam tells Renee (Jayne Heitmeyer) about his dream and Briggs' death. He's suspicious of Taelon interference and asks Renee to help him investigate. When Liam visits Briggs' home, he discovers circular burn marks throughout the house. Suddenly, a blue energy appears and Liam follows it. He discovers a Taelon datalog. The energy takes the shape of the deceased Taelon Ku'don (Michele Duquet), who manages to force out the word "exile" and disappears. Suddenly, Liam hears loud banging and he hides the datalog as commando leader Fisk (Martin Roach) leads a group of his men into the house. Liam overpowers one of the commandos and escapes as Fisk reports to Sandoval. Later at Augur's (Richard Chevolleau) lair, Liam explains to Renee and Augur how Ku'don lead him to the hidden datalog.

Later at the bank, Renee is discussing a loan for Doors International with Samuel Priest (Jonathan Whitaker) when Fisk enters the office and indicates that Renee's global is a breech of security. When Renee exits, Priest begins to reprimand Fisk until Sandoval enters. Sandoval realigns the positions of authority putting Fisk in charge of the Special Agenda and threatens Priest. Later, Augur plays the tapes Renee took of her meeting at the bank and points out pyschographs that indicate Priest was terrified. When Liam meets Galvani at Briggs' home, Liam discovers Briggs was burned from the inside out. Augur's findings also confirm that Briggs died of Taelon radiation and proposes the specter of Ku'don as the possible perpetrator.

On the mothership, Zo'or is studying a datalog when he suddenly hears an unearthly howl and the phantom light of Ku'don appears and exclaims "exile." Abruptly, the bridge initiates auto lockdown and emergency decompression. Just as Zo'or is about to be sucked into space, Sandoval's laser cuts through the control box until manual override is activated. When order is restored, Zo'or commands Sandoval to purge the ship's log of the event. Meanwhile at the Taelon Embassy, Da'an tells Liam about Taelon spiritual afterlife and confirms that if Ku'don's spirit was soiled with money, it would be banished from the Commonality.

Renee Palmer, disguised as Renee Hale, temporary worker at Ozouri Accounting, taps the phone lines of the New World Commonwealth Bank building. Later that night, Liam is startled from his sleep and his palm explodes into a blue flame, branding him with a circle and a dot. Ku'don appears to Liam pleading, "destroy them." Meanwhile at the bank, Fisk searches for Briggs' records and Sandoval authorizes him to re-code and break any links with Briggs. On the mothership, Da'an learns of Zo'or's blasphemous lust for money and the reason for Ku'don's malevolent spirit. Ku'don was Zo'or's accountant for Zo'or's secret Taelon ventures. Because profit and money is blasphemy for a Taelon, Ku'don's spirit is now soiled and cannot rest. Zo'or demands Da'an perform the hjarth'ra to banish Ku'don from the Commonality for eternity.

Renee finishes her overtime work for Ozouri Accounting, sneaks down the stairwell and embeds a dart into a portal. Under Augur's guidance, Liam enters the bank, proceeds to the vault door, attaches explosives and sets the timer. Just as Liam is captured by Fisk, and the explosives are about to detonate, Ku'don opens the vault door. Liam throws the explosives into the lobby and runs into the bank vault. He downloads all of Briggs' files while Fisk locks the front of the vault and proceeds after him. Fisk enters the vault and detonates deadly gas. Liam and Fisk fight hand to hand until Liam delivers the final blow and grabs Fisk's mask. As Liam tries to open the vault doors, Ku'don appears in a serene state and thanks Liam for cleansing the impurity and setting him free. Ku'don disappears and burns a hole in the vault, allowing Liam to escape.

Later, Sandoval tells Zo'or about the bank's insolvency and Fisk's death. In Augur's lair, Renee and Liam talk about the laundered money of the Taelon co-ventures. Just as Augur is about to e-mail financial statements to the news agencies, the accounts begin to disappear. In a secret room, Zo'or stands alone, surrounded by gold.
