Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores) asks Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) to inform the Atlantic National Alliance (ANA) that in exchange for full immunity, he will testify that the Taelons have committed atrocities against the human race. While suspicious of Sandoval's sudden desire to combat the Taelons, Renee and Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) visit the White House to present his proposal to Hubble Urick (Frank Moore) and Gre Van Hoeck (Colette Stevenson), a lead prosecutor with the ANA.

Renee contacts Sandoval with the news that his proposal has been approved, and he is to testify before a grand jury in Montreal. Before leaving for Montreal, Sandoval accesses the command log of the Taelon Mothership, a log packed with incriminating evidence against the Taelons. Zo'or (Anita La Selva) sends a security team to apprehend him, but Sandoval escapes to Earth via a portal.

That night, Sandoval is met on a seemingly quiet street by Renee and Van Hoeck, who want to put him into protective custody until he is able to testify. Suddenly, a masked assassin appears out of the shadows and opens fire, shooting Sandoval in the chest. Liam arrives on the scene and fends off the assailant. Liam and Renee rush Sandoval to a medical clinic, where they later inform Sandoval that DNA evidence from the scene of the ambush proves the attacker was not a Volunteer, and may not have been sent by the Taelons. Sandoval suspects that members of the ANA want to prevent him from testifying because they don't want him to get immunity. Accordingly, Liam returns to the White House where Urick and Van Hoeck deny any involvement in the attempt on Sandoval's life.

Renee and Liam decide to transport Sandoval to Montreal via Retro Rail, a nostalgic train tour. Their hopes for a trouble-free ride are lost when Liam notices they are being followed by two mysterious men. They corner Liam and Sandoval in a baggage car and open fire. As the four men brawl, Liam tosses one of the attackers out a door of the speeding train, while Sandoval shoots the other. When another man claiming to be a security agent begins pestering Renee as to the whereabouts of Sandoval, Renee employs an ingenious solution. She outfits Sandoval with a prototype exoskeleton developed by Doors International that contains a Jaridian cloaking device which transforms the trim Sandoval into a rotund version of his former self. The disguise keeps Sandoval safe until the train arrives in Montreal.

On the platform, as the device's battery pack wears down, Sandoval's former colleague, Frank Tate (Richard Zeppieri), suddenly appears. He guns Sandoval down and escapes with his apparently dead body through a portal.

Liam and Renee return to the White House and apologize to Van Hoeck for failing to deliver Sandoval safely to Montreal. They are stunned when she leads them into an adjacent room where Tate and Sandoval are engaged in a friendly game of chess. Learning that Sandoval orchestrated his own "assassination" in order to stay alive, he has now increased his demand for immunity to include relocation and a lump sum of 50 million gold marks.

Sandoval falls victim to his own greed when the grand jury refuses to accept his new terms. He is put on trial for crimes against humanity. After hearing testimony concerning his unlawful and heinous activities from Liam, Renee, Resistance members and even his ex-wife, Dee Dee (Shary-Lee Guthrie), Sandoval insists he was only obeying orders. He is interrupted when an energy data stream burns through the ceiling of the Situation Room where the proceedings are being held. Communicating through the stream, Zo'or demands that Sandoval be returned to the Mothership immediately, or he will begin firing proton missiles at the Earth.

The court complies, and Sandoval returns to the ship expecting to be executed by Zo'or for his treason. Surprisingly, the Taelon forgives him, explaining that it's time for Sandoval to realize that Zo'or is the only friend he has.
