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

an unprecedented show of solidarity, an integrated force of black and white

South Africans staged a daring hit -and -run attack on the visitor processing

plant at Johannesburg.

More than 200 people were rescued.

Philadelphia resident Stuart Kaminsky was awarded the Freedom Network's Medal

Valor for his courage in operating an underground railroad between Atlanta and

the city of brotherly love.

To date, he has single -handedly saved more than 300 people from the Georgia

work camp. Here at home in the U .S., in Los Angeles, shocking news.

As Nathan Bates, the power broker behind the open city, has died.

Gunned down and badly wounded three weeks ago while negotiating a prisoner

exchange, Bates is survived only by a son. But the burning question at this

point becomes, what will be the fate of Los Angeles?

Take it easy now. Take it easy. I'm going to get you some help.

Mom!

It's all right, Johnny.

Mom is going to be all right.

Alan, it's time.

We've got to find a doctor.

I know, I know. All right, Johnny, you listen to me now.

I've got to find a doctor for your mom.

You've got to be the man around here until I get back. Can you do that for

Yes, Dad.

Alan, please don't leave. Please, please. It's the only way. I promise

be back.

I'm counting on you now, boy.

I'll take care of Mom.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Did you guard the fort now?

Huh?

Take care of your mom, and I'll be right back.

We are moving to control every sector of the city.

The only real opposition has come from a number of isolated pockets of

resistance.

Nevertheless, within a matter of hours, all Los Angeles will be under our

control. Have they searched into the trinity of what used to be the Club

The Club Creole?

Humans destroyed that, didn't they?

Yes, but they're so inefficient.

Consider it done.

There is one thing that troubles me, though.

What's that?

I'm told that Charles had no knowledge of the attack until after we had already

begun.

Sometimes in order to get something done, one must simply take the

Had I gone through channels and waited for Charles, the attack might have

failed.

I've been looking for someone I can trust to oversee Los Angeles for me.

My orders are to report all progress to Charles.

Yes, of course.

But Charles has bigger things on his mind than Los Angeles.

He could never reward you the way I could.

I exist to serve in any way that you see fit.

All things in good time, Lieutenant.

that harm me? I am insolent.

I've seen you on TV.

You're the resistance.

Right?

Aren't we all?

Whoa. All I gotta do is I gotta find Julie Parrish.

The amount of control the visitors have on the

city, everyone's afraid to stand up to them. Yep, everyone but us.

There'll be only two kinds of humans left around here.

Two sisters and collaborator.

Any word from the other resistance groups?

Well, we hit real hard, Mike. They're regrouping. I think we should do the

thing. I don't know. Right now, one place is as good as another.

Visitors are trying to soften us up, move us out into the open.

I think our best bet is to sit tight, see what our options are.

Well, you think we should stay here for now? Right.

Just don't get too attached to anything.

Look up this guy outside. He claims to be a friend of yours.

Alan.

Julie. Alan.

You know this guy?

Yes, I went to school with his brother. What are you doing here?

Look, I need help.

My wife's having a baby, and with the visitors attacking, all the hospitals

taking over.

Where is she?

She's at a bombed -out store at 4th and Highland. I left my son with her.

Listen, get your wife here. We'll do what we can to help her. She's already

labor. There's no way she can possibly make it here.

All right, look.

Just tell me what I need to know in order to deliver the baby myself.

I'm going with you. He needs me.

Wait a minute. Everything's up for grabs out there.

We've lost too many good people already to take another chance right now.

No way. I'm going with him.

Lyon, I'll go with him.

All right.

Here.

Take this.

And take the van.

You might as well be of some help.

You take this.

Thanks.

Don't scare me like that. Don't you know you're all I've got?

Don't worry, Mom. I'll protect you. See?

Yes, but I don't want you playing with something so sharp.

No, it's a spear. Don't you see?

Any loser tries to hurt you, I'll take care of him.

Well, that's fine, honey.

Just don't hurt yourself, okay?

Okay. You sleep. I'll stand guard till Dad gets back.

Okay.

It's from Lieutenant James.

He claims the battle for Los Angeles is well in hand. He expects to have the

entire city under control by nightfall.

I still don't understand who gave the order.

I did.

Why wasn't I told?

I didn't have the time.

You will, once I finish telling Charles.

Don't be so sure.

Even Charles should be able to appreciate victory.

Victory or insubordination?

You heard Lieutenant James' report.

The entire city will soon be ours.

Including the resistance?

I filed a complete progress report and sent a copy to the leader.

You do think of everything.

And I hope for your sake all this celebration isn't a bit premature.

I don't think so.

That's the difference between us, Lydia dear.

I take charge of the situation and you wait for permission.

We shall see.

Now, why don't you take charge of the bridge while I go and talk to Charles?

Charles, I just learned that Diana... Diana has ordered the takeover of Los

Angeles.

How do you know?

I intercepted the message she sent to the leader.

You're dismissed.

The entire attack on the city.

You're clearly in flagrant disregard of your command.

Yes.

Unfortunately, her success makes it difficult to court -martial.

I don't see why.

Simple politics.

But I have a plan.

And what is that?

I'm going to marry Diana.

You what?

As a member of the House of Roman, I can take any woman I choose as my wife.

By law.

She cannot refuse.

I know the law.

Then you also know that once married, the only way she can serve the cause is

bearing offspring. And that is a task better performed at home, not at the

line.

It just seems like more politics to me.

Well, as they say here, politics makes strange bedfellows.

Why don't you just let me shoot her and be done with it?

Because then I'd have to send you back.

Are you sure it'll work?

I'll put her on the first available shuttle myself.

And what if she refuses?

She can't.

By law, the ceremony must take place within 12 hours of the betrothal.

She'll be married, with Lizard, and on her way home before she knows what hit

her.

Is that why you've installed the best bed in the fleet?

Lydia, surely you're not jealous, are you?

Now, consecrate.

What did Kyle say?

Julie, we caught this guy outside.

He claims to be a friend of yours.

You did it!

Did I remember everything?

Word for word. You even sounded like him.

You know, I think if I really practice, I can remember everything I'm told.

Heads up.

There's a visitor patrol coming down the street. Looks like they mean business.

Many? Full platoon, arm to the teeth.

We should go. I can feel it.

We'll be abandoning Julie if we do. They're getting closer, Mike.

Well, if we move now, we'll just draw their fire. We've got to sit tight right

out in the storm. Yes, yes, it is always best not to jump to contusions.

It's quiet.

It's too quiet.

Okay, move out. If we get separated, meet me at the lagoon at Griffin Park.

on, go on. Move, it's a raid!

We'll be right back.

as soon as I got your message.

I see that your furniture arrived.

I take it that you heard about Lieutenant James' success in locating

Resistance headquarters.

Unfortunately, the Resistance leaders have eluded him, but there's a limit to

how long they can stay at large with the entire city under our control.

Was there something else?

Section 48 of the Code.

Section 48, years of marriage.

Don't tell me you and Lydia.

Someone else.

You.

You must be joking.

Aldous in preparation.

No.

I don't have to.

I am in the direct line of descent from Romain.

The choice is mine. I choose you.

I'd rather die first.

That can be arranged.

I'm sure you'll change your mind.

Mom?

When you had me, was it like this?

I mean, did I hurt you this much?

You didn't hurt me.

This is just the way babies come in.

Just the way babies come into the world, honey.

How's your mom?

Joanne, you okay?

Huh?

She's right in the middle of a contraction.

They're happening about every 20 minutes.

I'll stand guard.

Come on, kid, give me a hand.

It doesn't mean she's going to deliver right now. It could take as long as 48

hours. Yeah, but it could be happening any minute, though, right?

I don't think so.

But we brought a van.

I'd like to do a preliminary exam.

And if you're up to it, I want to take you with it. No, I don't think she

move. What if we get stopped? What if we get pinned down?

Well, right here, we're in the middle of fighting.

Something should happen. I'm not saying it will. At least back there, I've got

equipment to handle an emergency.

It's up to you, honey.

Did you think you could move? I mean, what do you want to do?

All I want is to have my baby.

You're a doctor?

Uh -huh.

Listen to her.

Who grows there?

Willie, it's me.

Who's me?

Mike.

Mike!

Are you the only one here?

Oh, no, no. No, the others are over there.

I'm the outlook.

I think you mean the lookout.

Lookout, yes.

Well, good work.

Let's go check in.

Oh, yes, sir. Check in.

I tried to shake the visitors.

I think I was successful.

Where should we go now?

Well, we'll worry about that later. Right now, there's something more

to consider. What?

Julie and Kyle.

If they try to bring that guy and his wife back to what used to be

they'll be walking straight into a trap.

Well, how can we find them?

That's the tough part.

In all the confusion, I can remember the general location, but I can't remember

the exact address. Can you?

No.

Elizabeth?

Not sure I can.

What?

Anything might help. What?

Elizabeth has a pornographic memory.

Photographic.

Sometimes, if I really concentrate, I can remember everything I've heard.

Everything? She even does voices?

It doesn't always work.

What have we got to lose?

Remember this morning?

Julie's friend?

Where did he say they were going?

I need your help.

My wife is having a baby.

And with the visitors attacking, all the hospitals are closed.

Where is she?

At a bombed -out store on Forthland Highland.

I left my son with her.

Forthland Highland, that's about five miles from here.

Are you okay?

It's a little weak.

It's harder than I thought it would be.

You did just fine.

Just give me a few minutes, and then I'll be able to go help you find Julie

Kyle.

No, no.

What I need you both to do is to set up a new base of operations for us.

Here? No, Willie.

There's an abandoned movie studio. The visitors hit it pretty hard, so they

shouldn't be back there for a while.

How do we get there?

Well, I marked a trail down the Cahuenga Pass.

It leads right to the studio. You can't miss it.

Meanwhile, I'll try to round up Julie and Kyle.

If our luck holds out, we'll meet you there.

You're in charge, Elizabeth.

Yes, what is it?

Charles asked me to shave your body in preparation.

And he sent me to fit you for your wedding skin, Commander.

I'm afraid that won't be necessary.

There's been a change of plans.

There won't be any wedding.

Now get out of my sight!

Don't take it out on them, Diana. They're merely following Charles'

I suggest you do the same.

When I want your suggestion, Lydia, I'll put a box outside the door.

Oh, I'm going to miss you, Diana. You're really very complex.

I can understand why Charles is so passionate about making you his bride.

I hate to disappoint you, but there won't be any wedding.

I'm sure the leader will be less than pleased when he learns of Charles'

intentions. On the contrary, the leader has already sent his blessing.

Unfortunately, he won't be able to attend the ceremony.

You look lovely.

What

a

strange place.

All these buildings are just farts.

Perhaps the people that once lived here never looked behind them.

Look. This must have been quite a hot dog.

He liked you.

Name is Ramsey.

Ramsey?

I think we could use some help, Ramsey.

Your shuttle is ready, Commander.

Thank you, Lewis.

I appreciate your loyalty.

I want you to have this.

I know you deserve more, but at the moment, it's all I can offer you.

Commander, please.

It's reward enough to serve you, especially now that your enemies have

disadvantage.

Now, please, you must go at once.

Getting cold feet.

I was just checking out the landing bay.

Oh, I see.

Of course, you do know that if a bride is caught attempting to desert her

groom... Such an offense is punishable by death.

My Charles, I would never desert you.

I don't handle rejection well.

Take her away, Louis.

So much for loyalty.

How's she doing? Oh, she's only two centimeters of face, and her

are about ten minutes apart.

Still got a little time to go yet.

Honey, everything's going to be all right.

You think maybe we should try getting out of here?

Yes.

I'll get Kyle to move the van around so you don't have far to walk, okay?

Get the van and back it up. It's time to go.

Bad timing.

Instead of patrol, just get around the corner.

What do you think?

Just let him pass.

Make or buy, we'll leave.

Sergeant, that van there.

Check it out. I don't want to leave any vehicles in this sector that might be

commandeered by the resistance.

Yes, sir.

Huh! Let it get back!

Make them talk. We'll soon crush the entire movement.

What's going on? A lot of visitors saw the van and came in for a closer look.

One of them spotted your son.

Kyle had to shoot him.

All right, what are we going to do?

We're going to fight with everything we've got.

On Earth, they say it is unlucky to see the bride before the wedding.

And yet, somehow, I feel most fortunate.

It's nothing compared to what I'll give you once we're married.

Of that I have no doubt.

Where are those ceremonial eels?

Finally, what took you so long?

Kanbar Loki, Diana.

The ritual bath suits you well.

Charles is a lucky man.

You are by far the most beautiful woman in the fleet, Diana.

I know.

But it's a curse sometimes.

Erock Norlorpeth.

May their venom give you strength and their body make you fertile.

Charles, I couldn't wait to hear my orders any longer.

I've been thinking about Diana.

You've decided on assassination?

You know, you really must learn to control your passions.

Untempered, they can be very dangerous.

Then you're still going to marry her?

Of course.

As long as you tend to back.

Actually, I've decided to keep her for a while.

What? I may have a use for her.

You went to her ritual bath?

She's more promising than I expected.

You can't do this.

Don't be silly.

Of course I can.

Marta. Lydia.

Lydia, you're too early.

Tell Charles that I'm still preparing the marriage potion.

It's not good to rush these things. Charles didn't send me, and I couldn't

less. Oh, it must be difficult for you. Did you hear what I said?

Lydia, the entire fleet knows how you feel about Charles.

There's certainly no shame in losing to Diana.

But you must be very jealous.

Jealous.

Marta, do you enjoy working on the mothership?

The fleet is my life.

Then keep your opinions to yourself, or Diana won't be the only one being

shipped back.

I'd like a bottle of cat poison.

Oh, isn't it terrible how they multiply? Do you know that there won't be a rat

left to eat on this ship if something isn't done about those awful cats?

What's this?

Essence of rodent musk.

I don't need perfume.

Lydia, it is guaranteed to drive men crazy.

You go too far.

Willie, what is it?

More visitors coming this way. Everybody get up.

I'm sure I heard something in here.

It's only a dog.

Let's move on.

Ramsey, Ramsey, come here, boy.

Come here. Oh, good boy, good boy. Ramsey, thank you.

Come on, Julie, isn't there anything we can do? I don't want my little girl born

on a battlefield.

Alan, I understand how you feel, but the only thing we can do right now is just

to take it one step at a time.

Alan. It's okay, honey.

Just take it easy now. Come on, I haven't let you down yet, have I? Huh?

I love you. I love you, too.

So, uh, you want a little girl this time, huh?

I want a baby.

He wants a little girl.

What are you gonna name her?

Jennifer. Barbara.

Well, maybe you have twins.

Oh.

Come in over there. Cover the side street.

I'm sorry.

About what?

The trouble I've caused.

Forget it.

You killed him?

I don't know.

I don't think so. He managed to crawl away.

And you didn't shoot him again?

Nope. I would have.

When I grow up, I'm going to join the resistance and kill lizards just like

that.

Well, with any luck, maybe you won't have to.

I don't want to.

No wrong.

You shouldn't want to kill anybody.

Not even lizards.

I thought you were with the resistance.

That's right.

understand. How can you be with the resistance and not want to kill lizards?

What's your name?

John Michael Davis.

Now listen to me, John Michael Davis.

There's only one reason to ever pick up a gun, and that's in self -defense.

Everybody's got a right to live, even the visitors.

As long as they are willing to live by the same rules that we are.

You understand that?

Why don't you go back with your dad before things heat up around here again?

This is your last chance.

Surrender or die.

You have one minute.

What are the options?

Well, it sounds like they're going to try and rush us.

We can either stay and fight or try to get her into the van. Either way, it's

going to be pretty tough, Alan. I want this baby born free.

Let's go for it.

John, come on around here. Help me with your mom.

Remember your deep breathing.

I'm almost up. It's now or never.

Get ready, man.

Okay, I want you to get in the van and start it. I'll cover you. I've got to

out of here. All right.

Is there anything I can do?

Think you've still got a pitching arm?

All right.

I'm going to make a break for the van. You see if you can lob this into that

Jeep over there. Got it.

Forty -five seconds.

Here goes nothing.

It is time my friend.

Are

you

ready?

Mahon. Puga.

Charles, do you promise to be the stone that crushes the leader's

enemy? Gratol.

Diana, do you promise to bear, Charles, in the ripeness of your years,

a multitude of fearless warriors?

Gratol.

Will you hunt and provide?

I will.

Like two serpents intertwined, may you cling together until

death.

You may kiss the bride.

Oh,

she's all right.

She always cries at weddings.

Then in the name of our glorious leader, I declare you Maytack.

Equal Axton for your May.

On

behalf of

myself and my lovely bride, enjoy yourselves.

Yes, we missed you.

What's that scent you're wearing?

Muscovrat. Do you like it?

It fits you. It's your tea.

Enchanting.

Don't let me keep you.

Jealousy leaves with a disagreeable aftertaste.

Shall we go?

Reminds me of Lydia.

Even the smell.

Musk of Rat, Lydia's new perfume.

Yes, it does seem to linger once you've had a whiff of it.

You had them engraved.

How thoughtful.

Charles and Diana.

A gift from Lydia, actually.

In my heart, I have longed for this moment.

Then drink with me.

Take this.

As you take me.

Forever.

It's been poison.

Oh, Alan, she's so lovely.

You finally got the daughter you wanted.

We owe her life to all of you.

You'll never know how grateful we are for everything you've done.

Well, you know we wouldn't have had it any other way.

Look, uh, Joanne and I talked it over with John.

We're gonna name her Victoria.

After the victory, we'll all enjoy it.

Someday.

Victoria.

I like that.

Let it be soon.

For all our sakes.

Charles.

Too late for regress, Lydia.

You're under arrest for the wanton murder of Charles.

Take her away.

No! No!

No!
