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

the Philippine island of Mindanao, resistance guerrillas under the

Commander Beloy surprised and annihilated a regiment of alien shock

moving to occupy the island.

On the Brazilian front, resistance leaders suffered a grave setback with

capture and execution of several high -ranking leaders in the Mato Grosso

battalion. Here at home, our guerrillas claimed a major victory on the ground

fighting in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between Taos and Albuquerque,

Mexico.

Casualties were said to be light in skirmishes along the Santa Fe Trail as a

number of alien outposts were overrun and destroyed.

And this week, the Freedom Network awards its Medal of Valor to Marilyn

McGeorge, a housewife from Biloxi, Mississippi.

She spotted the visitor patrol boat Vargan off the Gulf Coast, rammed it

her husband's fishing boat, sinking both vessels.

Mrs. McGeorge was later found clinging to debris and was rescued.

And that's where we stand tonight from the Freedom Network in New York.

Our hopes are with you.

Good night.

When T's see this house, you are going to love it. I can't wait.

My mother's going to meet us there.

Hey, come on. I want to buy you a present.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Your generosity has been deeply appreciated.

Oh, I have something here.

I've been saving this one all day for a pretty young girl like you.

Ouch!

Oh, dear, look what I've done.

You okay?

It's just a scratch.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Please take this one.

It's mistletoe.

Oh, thank you.

Okay.

There you go.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Yes.

Merry Christmas.

Attention all patrol vehicles.

Attention all patrol vehicles.

Be on the lookout for a red van heading toward the border.

Drivers are suspected resistance fighters smuggling orphaned children

Angeles from the occupied zone.

Now's our chance. Let's go.

A few more yards and you'll be safe. You have to be kids again.

You safe now?

Are you kidding?

Did you behind the wheel?

You're sure the blood is from the star child, Elizabeth?

Yes, I am.

And that's the holly you gave me to use.

Yes, the dioxin veneer has kept the blood remarkably fresh.

You've been most helpful.

I knew one of them would find her.

Now you can mold a star child to your own genetic design.

Although I can't say I understand what all this is about.

Half the world is poisoned to us because of the red dust.

Yet Elizabeth, who is half human, half like us, seems to be immune.

If we can replicate her, perhaps we can produce an antitoxin.

and finally put an end to this war. Excuse me.

I've done my part. Where's my husband?

Why, where he's always been.

Here in detention.

You promised we would be together again for Christmas dinner. And you will.

Our Christmas dinner.

Take her away.

You lied!

You said you would let him come home! You lied!

You lied!

Humans take holidays so seriously.

What do you mean another van of children got through the border?

Now, why is it that we continue to let a band of vigilantes make a mockery of

the laws of this city? Well, we made a positive ID on Donovan and Tyler.

Donovan and Tyler.

What a surprise.

Mr. Bates, I... Mr. Chang, this is not the way I like to start my day.

Now, you failed. Every time you go up against them, we clown second best.

Mr. Bates... No more excuses.

Now, I want you to find whatever rot these so -called heroes are hiding under

and crush them.

Okay, this is the church. Lizards don't respect sanctuary.

It's as good a halfway house as any other.

Let's look inside.

It's almost too quiet this close to Christmas.

Diana picking her kids up off the street. People don't have much to

Let's check it out.

You're slipping.

If I were a lizard, you'd be dead.

Think again, big fella.

Damn. All right, brother.

What brings you in from the desert?

The desert unit's history. We shot all to hell.

Father Turney found me.

Saved my life.

For the last month, I've been running an underground railroad into this place.

You know each other?

You could say that.

Old friends.

We intercepted the van this morning. All the kids are safe.

We, uh, found foster homes for them in the open city.

Bless you, Michael.

If it weren't for you smuggling children into the open city, there'd be more

tears than smiles this Christmas.

We do what we can.

When are the rest of the kids gonna get here?

In the morning.

Michael, it's, uh, it's getting too dangerous around the church.

The visitors are coming around more often. They suspect something.

I'm afraid I'm not going to be in business much longer.

How come you look so grumpy?

I don't like little girls.

Tough guy, huh?

Tough enough.

Maybe.

What's your name?

They call me Ham.

Ham? That's a funny name. Sounds like a sandwich.

We got company.

I want that one. You got him.

You'd better leave with us, Father.

Thank you, Michael.

But this is where I'm needed.

Don't worry. There's people who will help me.

Now leave these three gentlemen to me and go with God.

Pick up Jennifer and the other kids tomorrow.

He's got a lot more faith in his fellow man than I do.

You got that right.

What do you think?

I love it.

Think we can live here?

You know, sometimes I pretend there's no war, and you and I are just... We're

just what?

I think it's just a dream.

Oh, come on.

What kind of dream?

When I was little, my mother used to tell me if you had a special dream, you

shouldn't tell anyone or else it wouldn't come true.

Well, maybe I can make it come true.

Isn't this a pretty picture?

Mother, I... Don't say anything.

You're my daughter. I trusted you.

Look, look, Robin, I tried to... And you, how could you?

Mother, please, it's not his fault. We just... You just snuck around behind my

back. No, wrong. We just fell in love. It wasn't anything we'd planned.

We didn't do it to spite you.

It just happened.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Mother, please.

No, no, no. Let her go. She needs... Just let her go.

Bumpy molly

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah. He only injured my prize.

That noise.

That is our national anthem.

All beautiful for spacious skies.

DNA structure.

It's growing out of control.

That's your opinion.

You're dealing in unknowns.

Genetic engineering is a dangerous game.

I'm going to have to... I don't play games, Dennis.

I'm a scientist.

And this little experiment is under control.

My control.

Anyone who fails to understand that can be replaced.

Immediately.

Help you any way I can.

I knew you'd understand.

I know she hates me.

Of course she doesn't hate you, Elizabeth. She's just upset.

What should I do?

Well, honey, just talk to her. Just tell her how you feel.

She won't listen.

Of course she'll listen to you, Elizabeth. She's your mother.

The lady was telling corsages. I just pricked it on a thorn.

That's really strange. The blood doesn't seem to be coagulating.

Come here, Chrissy.

I just want to get a culture of this. It's not going to hurt a bit.

Fine, well... Yeah, I know.

There, see?

I'll run some tests on this when I get back to the lab.

No way, Santa.

Not even if I use some pillows, boss?

Not even if you use a whole mattress.

Sorry, Willie.

You mean I don't get to dress up and give out the pheasants?

Maybe next year.

What was that? It came from the lab.

The clone!

It's escaped.

Who's our best tracker?

Laird. Get him!

I want it brought back.

He's dead.

What are you doing out here alone?

Wyatt,

you're hurting me.

Father Trini said you'd be coming back for us.

Where is he, sweetheart?

This way.

Jennifer, you found him.

Good for you.

I'm glad you're here.

I see the visitors came looking for the three we mopped up.

Well, they were under the misguided notion that by destroying the building,

could eradicate the beliefs that built it. Look, it's nice to know that someone

still has faith, but there's no point in giving these lizards a second chance.

He's right.

Well, children, I think it's time to go.

God helps those who help themselves.

They took my mommy and daddy away from me. I don't want to talk to anybody

either.

Come on, Jennifer. Time to go.

I knew you'd be here.

You used to bring me here when I was little, remember?

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to, but I was afraid you wouldn't understand.

I'm your mother.

I confided in you. Why couldn't you confide in me?

I don't know.

Please don't be mad at me.

I think so.

So strange.

I'm so excited when he's around me. I never felt that way before.

And Kyle feels the same way?

Yes.

I would never see him again if you thought that that would make him love

instead.

I know he doesn't love me.

I guess I've known that for a long time.

I'd never do anything to hurt you.

I know.

But it doesn't make the pain go away.

Come on.

I'll take you back. We can finish this later.

Does this mean you're not going to be moving out?

I don't know.

It's kind of like a little time to myself.

I've already talked to Julie.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

Probably nothing.

Elizabeth?

Is this your car?

Yes, it is.

You frightened us.

Park's off limits after 4 p .m. Bates's orders.

I'm sorry, we didn't know.

You do now.

Now move on before I have to run you in.

Thank you for being so concerned.

Just doing my job, ladies.

Hey, you!

Hold on!

Hey, hey, don't be afraid.

What's wrong? Got a cold?

Or has a cat got your tongue?

He died of puncture wounds to the head.

It has to be the clone.

She's had her first taste of human.

Yes. A policeman.

Do you know what that means?

Yes. She's growing, getting stronger, and more like us than one of them.

It means that every policeman in Los Angeles will be out looking for her.

And when they find her... They won't find her.

You will.

And you will follow her and bring her back at all costs.

And if someone gets in my way?

If you have to ask, then you're the wrong man for the job.

Dioxin in Elizabeth's blood.

Elizabeth.

I took a sample of Elizabeth's blood.

I found traces of dioxin in it. What is that?

Well, it's a very powerful poison, but in this case, maybe it was used for

preserving blood for keeping it fresh.

Oh, what could that mean? I don't know, but one thing I do know for sure, Robin,

is no flower peddler would have been using it. We interrupt this program to

bring you a special report.

Police in Los Angeles this afternoon have issued an all -points bulletin and

warning all citizens to be on the lookout for this woman.

Wanted in connection with vandalism and assault charges, she's also a prime

suspect in the brutal slaying of a... police officer earlier today in Sherman

Oaks. She is considered extremely dangerous.

We now return you to our original programming.

It can't be.

Elizabeth was with me all day. It must be a mistake.

That's not Elizabeth.

I don't know how Diana did it, but she must have created Elizabeth Double.

Where's Elizabeth?

I don't know. She said she had some last -minute shopping to do.

Robin, you've got to find her. I'm going to go to the lab and see what I can

find out from Bates, okay?

They were all at Club Creole, sir.

At least half a dozen are known resistance members.

Donovan.

Tyler.

Haven't seen this one for quite a while.

It is no coincidence, sir.

Did you actually see her with Donovan and Tyler?

Yes, sir.

Did she seem... friendly?

I couldn't tell.

She is one of them.

Well, I think it's time we let her prove it.

Why are you so angry with me?

Get lost.

What's the problem with Ham?

See, it happened while we were in Nam.

Just before the fall of Saigon.

He had married a local Eurasian girl.

They'd had a daughter.

Cute little thing.

Had?

Ham and me got ordered to Nicaragua. The brass promised they'd airlift his wife

and child out.

So he packed them up and left them in a church on the edge of Saigon.

What happened?

An airstrike was called in to halt the Kong advance.

One flyboy jumped the gun, dropped his napalm early.

It hit the church.

By the time we got back, all he found was a burnt -out building.

When Saigon fell, Ham kept slipping back in, searching, but he never found them.

He lost her?

That's unacceptable.

A temporary setback, I assure you.

For your sake, I should hope so. I have carried the leader's standard to victory

before. He personally decorated me for bravery.

Then tracking a child shouldn't be too difficult.

Complicated by Bates' police alert, yes.

Difficult?

No. Then find her without any temporary setbacks.

Don't abuse me, Diana.

There are other commanders who can use my talents.

Perhaps you miss my point.

If she's not found by Dark, I'll end more than your military career.

I know this is tough on you, Tyler.

I'm missing a son.

We've all lost someone.

I appreciate the sentiment, Goodham.

I'll handle it, okay?

I'm just trying to say you've got to hang on to your hope.

If I wanted a preacher, I'd talk to Father Turner.

When was the last time you saw the phone company and the water and power boys

working the street at the same time? Yeah, window washers across the street.

Place is pretty busy out there. Let's go.

Hi, Nathan. I've got a question for you. I was just wondering if I... Oh, Julie,

I'm so glad to see you.

I was afraid you'd be at the Club Creole.

What? No matter what your friendships and confused loyalties, I still value

I care for you far too much to want to find your body among the others in the

wreckage.

What are you talking about?

As of this afternoon, the Club Creole will be no more.

Well, I really appreciate your concern for me.

Well, you've always been a part of Science Frontiers. I hope you always

Now, what was it you wanted?

Oh, no.

Not important.

I'll be in my lab.

Well, the relays connected sir Relax mr. Chang

we won't have long to wait

Club

Creole, who is this Elias? Oh Julie I'm so disappointed in you.

Besides you're too late.

Down that way.

You go to the left. I'll go to the right.

You mean I'm having much luck? I apologize, sir, for that incompetence,

as my own.

Unfortunately, Dr. Patish has slipped through our fingers.

Looks that way, doesn't it?

I think we both know where she'll show up, what she'll find when she gets

She won't find anything or anyone.

I'm sure

your

mother will like it. Since the war, we don't get much imported material.

Thank you.

How are you? Merry Christmas.

I'll take this one.

Well, I don't know.

It's my last one.

Who's it for?

Someone special.

Well, he must be to have you.

Okay.

By yourself?

Hold on, I'll be out in a minute.

Season's greetings, gentlemen.

What can I get you?

A little bit of eggnog, huh?

A little Christmas punch?

Nothing like a little bit of Christmas punch, you know, to get the holiday

going, huh?

No, no, no, no, sir. Everything is under control.

I expect it will only be a matter of minutes.

I take that back, Mr. Bates.

What you have just heard is the last gasp of the resistance.

All that is left to do now, sir, is dip through the rubble.

Nicely done, Mr. Chang.

Thank you, Mr. Bates.

Everybody,

let's get out of here.

Elizabeth?

Don't hurt her.

Elizabeth, get away.

She won't hurt me.

You don't know that.

I do.

I can tell.

He won't hurt you.

Elizabeth, don't.

She saved my life.

destroyed, but how?

Genetic engineering is an inexact science at best.

Even for you, Diana.

That's because I'm surrounded by incompetence. I take offense at that.

Such aggressive behavior, Dennis.

I think I have just the place for you.

I'm sure you're okay. You're awfully quiet.

I just keep trying to understand why she did it.

She saved my life.

I don't know.

I guess we'll never know.

Maybe she was trying to get back to you any way that she could.

Get back to me?

You were the source of her life, Elizabeth.

The beginning.

Perhaps Diana underestimated the power of that.

Zahn teaches.

That all creatures seek to reunite with their source, to come together in peace

and goodwill.

Like Christmas.

So how'd you guys manage to keep this place intact?

Well, Chris wired the explosives to knock in just the walls and the ceiling

upstairs. Yeah, there's nothing left in the kitchen up here, so there's no way

they can find the door.

You mean the only way we can get in here is through the alley?

On the sewers?

I kind of like it like that.

First hand.

Well, sweetheart, I don't think he's much in the Christmas spirit today.

Ho, ho, ho!

To friends and family.

To peace.

To Christmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
