Good evening, I'm Howard K. Smith, and this is the State of the War Tonight.

We've just received word that Bangkok has fallen.

Despite valiant resistance from the Thais, as well as armed refugees from

occupied Vietnam, the firepower of the visitors proved too much to overcome.

Nevertheless, the fight for Southeast Asia goes on.

On the home front, the citizens of Birmingham, Alabama met force with force

the visitors attempted to subdue the city once known as the Pittsburgh of the

South. Employing guerrilla tactics... Carrying the pipe to the streets, the

residents maneuvered the aliens into a position near the massive Blackwell oil

refinery. Then they set it afire. At this hour, the fire rages out of

and it is said that you can hear the rebel yell in the streets of Dixie

And the most recent recipient of the Freedom Network's Medal of Valor proves

that one man can make a difference.

Dr. Harvey Wackman of Kansas City, Missouri, freed a dozen young boys from

visitor youth corps camp.

Got them to Chicago, where they were reunited with their families.

Dr. Wachman, we salute you.

And that's where we stand tonight. From the Freedom Network in New York, our

hopes are with you. Good night.

You guys route that house.

Come on, people, let's move it.

We're going to do a little digging today, boys. We're going to get some

get a workout.

If you're lucky, you might get something to eat.

Come on, Grandpa, pick it up.

Come on, Richard, get up.

What's wrong with you? We ain't got all day. He can't go back to the mines.

If he works another day, it'll kill him.

Oh, is that right, Doctor?

Well, then, Richards, I guess, uh, I guess you're free.

What?

Move.

Don't ever tell me what I can or I can't do, Doctor.

Dad!

Yeah,

look what we got here. Tough little monkey. You want to join the gang?

You want us to go get her?

Nah, don't worry about her.

There's only one road in and out of this town.

Blizzards will take care of her.

Get them people to the mine. We don't want to keep Diana waiting.

Amen. Please.

I need you.

I've killed.

Where are you?

Here.

I've broken my oath.

Betrayed the covenant.

Whom did you kill?

I'm a medic.

Just back from a place called Charleston.

The fighting was terrible.

I went to help a man.

He misunderstood, tried to kill me.

I just reacted. I didn't mean to. I understand your anguish, my son.

You must help yourself.

I can't without you.

When will you come?

In time.

For now, Zahn teaches compassion for others.

Offer it to yourself.

I can't. You must.

Now, quickly. The covenant.

None is the cause for which I would die.

But there is no cause for which I would kill.

Nick, stop!

Our southern thrust is stalled. The commanders in Tampa are reporting their

weapons are almost out of cobalt. It could delay our ground offensive.

I disagree.

I won't allow you to undermine our entire war effort.

We forget who's in charge here, Lydia.

You ordered to locate the origin of the renegade priest's transmission.

You don't have to remind me. I have an appointment.

I see that the father of Zahn is brought to my quarters.

We'll finish this discussion later.

You know, I bet if we start serving about 5, 5 .30, we'll probably turn

10, 15 tables before the 9 o 'clock curfew shuts us down.

Excuse me.

We won't be serving for another hour, hour and a half.

I didn't come for a meal.

What can I do for you?

I need your help.

You can trust him.

I have to find the resistance.

Resistance?

So why come to me?

Because you're one of them. It was in all the magazines.

And I just thought that maybe... Look, honey, that was a long, long time ago.

All I know about the resistance now is what I read in the papers. Yeah, but

I'm sorry.

Look, I'm talking to you about a whole town that's enslaved.

The men being worked to death in a cobalt mine for Diana.

Look, there's nothing I can do for you.

And the other half dying of radiation.

Look, come back sometime tomorrow, all right?

Tomorrow's too late.

It's the best I can do.

Oh, I see. Now that you're some big -time restaurant owner, real people

matter to you, huh? Look, lady, I don't know who you are.

I don't know where you come from.

You come waltzing in here off the street talking to me about the resistance.

For all I know, you could be a lizard.

It's red, not green.

And a lot more will be spilled if you don't help.

Bring her in.

I don't like her.

Let's hear her out.

One pound.

We've got enough to do right here.

All

right.

You convince her.

We'll convince the rest.

Well, there are only about 30 families left.

Well, everybody's scared.

They're afraid to breathe, afraid to come out into the light.

If you all don't help us, we've got no place else to go.

Why don't you fight?

With what? Our bare hands?

If the people don't do as they're told, then their families die.

And if that's not enough for you, when Diana gets her hands on that cobalt,

she'll have enough laser ammo to blow the world liberation front right into

sea. You know, talk's cheap.

We've got no reason to believe you.

Except that I'm asking you to.

You're asking a lot.

We vote.

I say we go.

No.

We can't let him get that kobold.

Let's do it.

This is a big mistake.

Look, are you in or out or what, huh?

Can you get us into the town without being seen?

Well, the town's pretty well covered, but at night we might be able to make it

across the lake.

We'll need explosives to blow that mine.

We can get that with Julie's connections.

What about the townspeople? Will they help us?

Well, there are a few in jail that might, but everybody else, they're just

teachers and clerks, they're not fighters.

Neither were we.

Yeah, Mr. Mike.

Hi, it's Julie.

Listen, I checked my aunt's itinerary this morning.

She's visiting Dover on the 4th.

Could you see her off for me?

Sounds explosive.

Yeah. Listen, I gotta go.

Have a blast.

Bye.

Working late?

Oh, yeah. Hi, Nathan. It's easier to concentrate at night.

I wish all my employees were as dedicated as you.

What are you working on? Oh, I'll show you.

See, I've isolated the power source in the visitor laser pistol.

Uh -huh.

And it seems to have a cobalt base, but the molecular structure is so irregular,

it seems almost impossible to reconstruct.

Oh, well.

Nothing's impossible.

Not even a traitor at Science Frontiers.

What? The Resistance raided another munitions van this morning.

You think they were tipped?

Well, I had four other vans as decoys. None of them were hit.

I kept the routes on a computer disc in my safe.

Well, is the disc missing?

No. But I think someone must have copied it.

Well, Nathan, I hope you find whoever this person is.

Oh, I will.

You know, it would go a lot easier on the person if they would just come

forward.

I might even drop the charges if they'd work on my side of the line for a while.

Nathan.

No.

Treason's such an ugly word.

Are you accusing me?

Oh, I wouldn't do that.

Not without proof.

I didn't see her. I swear.

She pushed a baby carriage off the curb right in front of me.

Yeah, let's talk about this with her.

But wait, I worked for Nathan Bates. I don't care.

Haven't you heard about Nathan Bates' new gun law? What?

It's a capital offense just to carry one of these. Join us.

Hey, wait a minute. You heard me. Join us. You can't do this. Oh, yeah?

Watch me.

Cover him, Willie.

Check, Willie.

Come on, Parliament.

I suggest you gentlemen move it.

That's the third armed shipment that's been intercepted this month despite the

new curfew.

They seem to know our roots before we do, sir. Well, obviously there's a leak.

But who?

You know my thoughts on that, sir.

Julie Parrish.

Do you have any proof?

I will.

Well, as soon as you have anything, I want to see it.

I want to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

And then, Mr. Bates.

Well, let's just say that won't be Julie Parrish's best day.

Diana Garrison is here.

Isn't that the Book of John?

Yes. Religious nonsense.

A collection of myths and fairy tales.

But let's not bore Mr. Garrison.

Thank you, Daniel.

I've been thinking about our little deal.

And? A bar of gold for a ton of cobalt.

Doesn't exactly seem like a fair exchange.

What did you have in mind, Mr. Garrison?

Five bars a ton.

We've had an agreement.

Well, things, uh... change in war.

Yes. People die.

Yeah, that'd be a pity.

Especially since the mine is above the snow line.

And your people couldn't get within 20 miles of that cobalt without choking on

the red dust.

Don't press your luck.

There are other mines besides your little excuse for one.

Maybe.

But my little excuse for a mine is already in your back pocket.

You're going to get your first delivery, Willow Point, tomorrow.

I'll hold you to it.

It would be most uncomfortable.

For you and us, if the delivery were late.

Before you leave, I'd like you to see something.

In case you decide to renege on our deal.

Kenneth, be reasonable.

Where is Amon's transmission coming from?

I don't know what you're talking about.

The Book of Zon was found hidden in your quarters.

The penalty for its possession is death.

I could pardon you.

Tell me, have you ever seen a crivet feed?

A what?

A crivet, Mr. Garrison.

Like a shark.

Robin, can we continue this discussion another time, please?

You're not very understanding.

If Elizabeth were upset, you'd take the time to talk to her.

Oh, come on, honey. You know that's not so.

Yes, it is.

Everybody thinks she's so special.

Well, you know, Robin, she is special.

What?

puts her own needs in front of everybody else's.

There's one road that leads through town directly to the mine. Where does he

make the delivery to Diana?

Just about here, right below the frost line.

Makes sense to me.

You'll take Rollinsville like Grant took Richmond.

When

this

is all over, maybe we can get together, huh? I'd like that.

But let's see if we win first.

It's a place I know about where the... where the hills meet the ocean.

We can watch the sun go down.

You move fast.

Nobody has much time in this business.

I'm coming with you.

No chance.

I've made up my mind. I won't be left behind.

You're not going.

Kyle, please don't tell me whether I can go or not.

I'm tired of hiding and running while other people are putting their lives on

the line for me.

I can't let you.

If I have to, I'll follow you.

Oh, this is crazy.

And that's what I'm going to become if I don't start fighting back.

Please.

It's my life.

You better take a jacket.

It gets cold in those hills at night.

You like things that go bang?

Yeah.

It's our latest purchase from Science Frontier.

Now, separate, they don't mean a thing.

But together, they make nitro look tame.

About three miles. I'll take the point. Okay.

Ow!

You okay?

I'm fine.

I tried to tell you this wasn't such a good idea.

I'm here because I want to be.

What are you trying to prove?

That I'm not some freak.

Some thing that you and the others have to protect.

What? I love you.

If you're going to be out there risking your life for me, I want to be there.

I might be able to help.

Come on.

Let's get you up to the office.

I came back to tell you that I was sorry, and that's when I saw him.

He was looking for something.

And he got it.

He got what?

The copy of the computer disk that I took from Bates.

What are we going to do?

We've got to get out of here right away.

Come on.

We lost Amon's signal, but the source of the transmission seems to be getting

closer. All that can wait.

The moment.

We don't eat like this in the instance, miss.

Rank does have its privileges.

Make yourself comfortable.

I haven't seen a table set like this since my family's.

But that was before the war.

We must all make sacrifices.

to the leader.

What are you doing here?

It is so strange to you.

What are you doing here? My husband died and didn't leave me a penny. What are

you doing here?

You're hurting my arm. I suggest you better leave at once.

If my max were alive, you wouldn't have done that.

Yes, sir.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Did you pick her up?

Yes, sir.

Send her in?

Yes, Mr. Bates.

What's going on?

It's called treason.

How dare you?

Sending a thug into my home.

Violating my privacy. Who the hell do you think you are?

Julie, I'm... You what? You're sorry, Nathan?

It can take an awful lot more than that, Nathan.

Can't we... No, we can't.

I'll take what's mine.

They're trucking them to the mine.

How many guards are left in town?

That's Marcus over there. By the square, there'll be two more.

It's gonna be tough to get close enough to take him without any other guards

noticing. We'll need to create a diversion.

Look, when Garrison puts him somewhere, he doesn't move.

Where the hell did you come from?

North Blatt.

About five miles down the road.

I'm bored.

I get off in a couple of hours.

Take it from me.

I know what men want.

Get your bread.

Where did you learn that stuff?

What stuff?

Then take it from me, I know what men want stuff.

Oh.

Television.

What next? We take the mine.

Glenn is right. We'll find two men in front of the mine and one man in front

the mine's office.

And two more in the woods.

What do you mean, if Glenn is right?

Easy, Elias. Put an awful lot of our trust into somebody you don't know.

Yeah, well, that's the trouble with you, Ham.

You're cold.

You don't trust anybody.

Keeps me alive.

If you call that living.

whenever you're ready.

Don't shoot me. I'm on your side.

It wasn't for us.

Well, what are you doing here?

You guys gonna fight Garrison?

Maybe.

I'm gonna help.

Get rid of him.

It's like that with everybody.

I gotta help.

What about your parents?

My father's a doctor, but they've got him working the mine.

How about your mom?

I don't know.

Don't worry.

We'll have you with your dad real soon, okay?

Just like Linus said, three at the mine, one at the office. Two in the woods.

I'm glad Kyle's watching our back. I'll handle the one at the office. You guys

take care of our woodsy friends.

Come on, let's pick it up.

You guys are working too slow.

If you want anything to eat, you better do better than this. You keep on eating,

guys. Hey, old man, what are you doing? You don't drink till I say so.

Come on, let's work. Pick it up.

Come on.

Go.

Garris.

Who in the hell are you?

I'm the man who's going to make you wish you never asked that question.

Hold it right there.

Should have sealed that back entrance like I told you.

I should have killed you when I had the chance.

You're right.

I

know.

You had to, right?

Let's blow the mine and get out of here.

There's something else I have to do.

Drop your weapons.

Do it, or you're dead.

Now you can join me, or you can join him.

But it's some kind of joke, right?

Afraid not, baby.

Why? So she can become Diana's new supplier.

Fool.

Sounds like a deal. I'm not greedy. I'll take what you offered Garrison.

Have the cobalt and the resistance at Willow's Point at 5 p .m. sharp. We'll

there. Just bring the gold and my bonus for delivering Donovan and the others.

land -based operations by the cobalt tonight we mount the offensive as

are you sure you can trust this glen i thought your deal was with garrison i

deal with whoever holds the car you'll accompany me to the rendezvous of course

and send a hyperlight cable to our leader what should i say we've destroyed

la resistance and the star child is back in our protection you are a genius i

know

Sometimes it just don't pay to be a hero.

By five o 'clock, we'll be rich.

And you'll be dead.

Sit up.

Ten years I've been on the street, man. All my life, man. All my life. And

nobody ever set me up like this.

You think you've got a monopoly on making mistakes?

Are

we

clear?

Yeah.

What are they doing?

The explosives he stole from my father's truck.

Smart pup.

What do I do with it?

Cover her up. Right. Put it over your face.

Frank!

Yo, you deadhead Frank!

Well.

Took you long enough.

What do you want?

Well, I was just trying to tell you something's burning in here. What?

It's clean They should

be here by now if all goes well, I may have to make you my personal adjutant

Thank You Diana

Go, go, go.

My last clip.

That cobalt truck's coming down the road any minute.

You got ideas?

I'm kind of hoping for the cavalry myself.

Cover me, Donovan.

What? What, are you crazy? Yeah, why the fuck?

Can't do it, Amaya.

Try me.

Winner!

I'm out of this game.

do what I can.

That was my lap.

It must be out of ammo. Yeah, let's go get one. Hey, come on out.

Come on. I got me one all picked up.

All right, where are you?

You're certain? I even radioed the ship for confirmation.

Aerial reconnaissance reports that both the ore truck and mine have been

destroyed. The resistance.

Prepare to take off.

Why?

Someone has to pay for misinforming the leader.

Next time you play the Lone Ranger, don't forget to bring along your

vest. Next time.

You're joking. You're lucky to be alive.

I guess so.

Thanks a lot, Doc.

Dad!

No,

thank you.
