Martin?

Donovan, look.

It's Diana's fighter.

She's getting away.

Don't shoot!

For those of you joining us late, the pictures on your screen are coming to us

live via satellite, where it's already night on this, the first anniversary of

Liberation Day, the day the visitors were driven from the earth, never to

return.

Meanwhile, here in Los Angeles, where it's early afternoon, I'm at the Club

Creole, where Elias Taylor, one of the resistance heroes, is hosting this

Liberation Day celebration in his new and already successful cabaret.

Debbie, you make it sound as if the restaurant business is my whole life.

I'm also a technical advisor on the new film, Lizard Kill. How could I forget

that? Same way you forgot to mention my new line of footwear.

Space busters with foot gear for galactic heroes.

Is there anything else?

No. I would like to say to any of my old buddies out there, if you ever need a

helping hand, you know where to come.

And I'm sure they will.

But now let's go live directly to the captured mothership for a look at what

scientific progress has been made since liberation.

Take it away, Dirk Small.

Thank you, Debbie. I'm standing here with Nathan Bates, head of Science

Frontiers, and former Resistance leaders Dr. Julie Parrish and KDHB newsman Mike

Donovan. Mr. Bates, Science Frontiers was the mass producer of red dust

for the Resistance, a task you performed during the visitor occupation.

What convinced you to take such an enormous risk?

Oh, Dr.

Parrish. She can be extremely persuasive.

That's why I placed her in charge of the mothership project from the moment the

government awarded us the contract.

The visitors were an advanced culture.

I have every confidence Dr. Parrish will succeed in unlocking their mysteries.

We have a very special working relationship.

I love her, but she seems so distant.

Well, she's still learning about human emotions.

Give her a little time.

I think it's different.

Everything's different now.

I know, but look, the worst is behind us.

Hey, why don't you take a couple of days and go on to Santa Cruz like you

planned?

Are you sure you can manage?

Of course I can. She'll be fine. Go ahead.

Half human, half visitor.

She's almost directly below us now.

We're moving in. We're going to attempt to land, and then we'll be speaking with

Elizabeth.

Why can't they leave us alone?

Do something!

Nice going, Martin. You're the best assistant I've ever had. I bet you in a

couple weeks they'll make you a cameraman yourself.

So what does that mean? You're reconsidering your position at the

Oh, no.

That's showbiz.

I'm a newsman.

Mike, wait.

I'll see you outside, Mike. Catch up with you.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, sure, fine. Why?

Well, you seemed a little on edge during the interview.

Well, maybe I just don't enjoy the same special relationship around Nathan Bates

that you do.

Look, this whole investigation with the mothership has been stalled.

Diana has a security code that we just can't seem to break.

There's so much we need to learn about.

Yeah, like the conversion process, for one thing.

You heard from Sean, huh?

No, I did not hear from Sean. I heard from the state school in Ojai.

And you feel guilty about having sent him there?

He needs my help.

He'll resist rehabilitation. I know him. I'm going up there this weekend if I

have to bust into the place.

Sorry, I forgot. Saturday.

I'll make it up to you, okay?

How's it just the last time? That was last time. What are you doing?

It's Liberation Day, remember?

Yeah? You're about to be liberated.

We'll have more on this later. But now, let's go to Keith Chavez and a report on

the upcoming trial of Diana.

Not since the Nuremberg trials of World War II has there been this kind of

international tribunal. Mr. Tyler's here, Mr. Bate.

Send him in.

I thought you'd be celebrating Liberation Day.

I ended celebrating a year ago.

And got right to work building a very fine security agency.

I work.

No, thank you.

Always to the point, eh, Mr. Tyler?

Just like your covert operations in Central America.

That's ancient history.

Not to mention Angola, Middle East.

Shall I go on?

What do you want?

How'd you like to work for me?

Doing what?

Doing what you do, Mr. Tyler.

Providing security for the highest bidder. Meaning you.

Meaning Science Frontiers. You know about our company.

You manufacture red dust. You're studying the alien technology.

It is my hope that from this terrifying invasion, mankind will reap some

benefits.

Well, you reap the profit.

Tell me, Mr. Tyler, what would you do with Diana?

I'd use her for target practice.

Then you reject the argument that she can atone for her crimes by helping us

our fight against disease.

Diana is the disease.

Ah, yes.

But if we take her life in vengeance, we'll be condemning millions of people

death because we won't have the knowledge that she can give us.

visitors offered a secure for cancer.

You're wasting my time, Bates.

On the contrary, Mr. Tyler.

I'm offering you the opportunity of a lifetime.

$500 ,000.

You gonna be okay covering Diana's trial? Oh, sure.

I still think a trial is a waste of money.

This is a democratic society, Martin.

Everyone here is innocent until they're proven guilty.

You have to understand, Mike, that on my planet, justice is swift and final.

Diana would get what's coming to her.

Well, she's gonna get a fair trial. Well, she deserves death.

Pill time?

Every 12 hours for the rest of my life.

What a racket, huh?

Nathan Bates manufactures the red dust and then turns around and markets the

antidote.

Nathan Bates, everything has a price.

Hey.

Is that all you got left?

It's all right.

Just remind me to get a refill later.

You're going to be looking for a new assistant.

I'll call you as soon as I get to Santa Cruz.

Have a good time, all right?

I will.

Don't worry about Elizabeth. She's going to be fine.

I know.

Grandpa.

Sweetheart, Mommy's going away for a couple of days.

Grandpa's going to take care of you.

Will you be back soon, Mommy?

Of course, baby.

I'll miss you, Elizabeth.

Be a good little girl.

I'll miss you, Molly.

How many do you think you're going to get for stealing a helicopter?

Two years.

Or a Pulitzer Prize.

Now where's that ambulance?

There it is

That

truck

truck where that one Did you see it enter the underpass?

No.

Then it's got to have been there waiting all along.

Mike, I don't understand.

They could have pulled a switch.

I'll bet a month's pay that ambulance with Diana is in the back of that truck.

Confidence should be acquitted of crimes against humanity.

There's even a hint of a smile on her face.

There. When she raises her arm, you can see the bullet hit just below her heart.

You can see the panic caused by the attempt on Diana's life.

We're still waiting to hear as to the seriousness of the wound.

If that injury had been sustained by a human, a bullet so close to the heart,

the victim would be near death.

But the visitor's physiology is certainly very different.

Grandpa?

Grandpa's going to make it better.

Here, sit down.

Yeah, science frontiers.

I need to speak to Dr. Juliet Parrish.

I'll take her inside.

Hi, sweetheart.

Just take a look at your arm, okay?

Robert, would you get me some ice, please?

Good evening, Diana.

Who are you? Nathan Bates.

Head of Science Frontiers. I've been responsible for dismantling and the

analysis of the mothership.

It's a losing proposition so far, which is why I arranged your, uh,

assassination.

With a tranquilizer, Doctor.

You're bad.

I was rather looking forward to my day in court.

I doubt that, Diana.

You were guilty of crimes against humanity, genocide, and, oh, yes,

That's a matter of taste.

What do you want?

As far as the rest of the world's concerned, you're already dead.

I could kill you right now. No one would ever know the difference.

But you have something else in mind.

I will keep you alive.

I will provide suitable accommodations, appropriate food, non -human, of course.

And in return?

In return, you will share your secrets with us. We'll start with a vaccine

against cancer. Then we'll develop some pest -resistant crops, a pollution -free

fuel, some recombiant DNA.

I see.

I cure the ills of the world.

And you get the credit.

That's the deal.

Or I turn you into a pair of shoes.

Still crude, Mr. Tyler.

My options seem limited.

Very. As well as my faith.

If you cooperate, I'll let you live outside.

Under guard, of course.

How?

One of my companies controls the red dust and the antidote.

That's how visitors like Martin and Willie can exist outside You can't do

Interesting

Don't think about it too

long I'll be back

What about the assassin?

He's already out of the country.

Look, Bates, remember our little bargain. When there's no more she can

she's mine.

I hear a car pulling away.

Can't see it.

All right, careful.

We're gonna need proof if she's still alive.

If she's still alive, then she must be killed.

First we get the proof, then we tip the law.

Come on.

Yeah, she's there, all right.

All wrapped up in somebody's pocket.

Give me the camera.

I'm sorry, Mike.

Suffocation takes too long, Diana.

I'm going to do the job right.

Martin, listen to me. You're a destroyer, Diana.

An evil.

A sickness. Everything you touch dies.

You don't bargain with the pestilence.

You wipe it out.

Martin!

You have something I want.

Diana's gone.

She escaped.

It's all my fault.

Martin.

Martin.

Martin.

It's my fault.

No, Martin.

It wasn't your fault.

Oh, no.

Huh.

We've got to stop her, Mike. She's going to signal him.

She'll bring back the fleet.

It'll be hopeless.

There's not much time left.

She can't survive on Earth.

The red dust in the air will kill her.

She's finished, Martin.

She's finished.

The antidote.

She took my last pill, Mike.

She's got 12 hours.

You've got to do this for me.

I will, Martin. What?

What? Tell me.

Martin. Martin.

She's sleeping.

Fitfully, but she's asleep. Good.

I just fed the horses. It must have gotten really cold out there last night.

Well, how's she doing?

Robert, she's not retaining fluids.

Her fever is still high. I just can't break it. What do you mean you can't

it? She's been burning up for over an hour.

Her body can't sustain itself at that level.

Robert, look, her system is probably just fighting some infection.

An infection?

Come on, Julie, you saw the arm. That is not an infection.

Look, she's a hybrid. I don't know what to do. Well, go do something to help

her, damn it, before it's too late.

You're afraid that she's going to die. Well, so am I.

And there must be something, something we've overlooked.

There is.

Maybe you're right. Maybe she's not fighting an infection.

Maybe she's turning into one of them.

She's taking her horse.

Let's go.

You got a problem there, little lady?

Can I give you a lift?

That's very kind of you.

Well, the pleasure's all mine.

Hey, your skin is cold as ice.

I know. I get these terrible chills.

Maybe I could warm you up.

Honey, I was thinking the same thing.

I'm going to take you someplace that's out of this world.

I said Diana's on the loose. Calm down, Tyler. She can't get away.

She can't. Of course not. Captain Mothership's too heavily guarded. She'd

risk it. I'm not talking about Mothership.

Southwestern tracking station's not far from where she escaped.

Fully automated ability able to receive and transmit signals over billions of

miles of deep space. She'll go there and call for help That makes sense Take

three men No amateurs. I do this my way you work for me I'm a free agent from

now on Then I'd say I'm entitled to a refund I'd tell you what to do with your

money, but that'd be rude How will I know if you've killed Diana I'll let you

live

That man who just left?

He's a problem. No, Mr. Bates.

He's history.

Why are we stopping?

The Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule.

I'll do something for you.

You do something for me.

Oh.

I see.

That's nice.

That's real nice.

Oh.

That's...

Thank you.

There's no horse. It can't be far.

Elizabeth! Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Robert, there's light coming from that cave.

Elizabeth, she's in there.

The snakes, the cave must be full of them.

Julie, we've got to reach it.

No.

Robert, she's going through a metabolic change.

My God, into what?

Wait a minute. No, we can't interfere right now, Robert.

Whatever this process is she's going through, we have to let it run its

Or else she could be damaged.

Maybe even die.

You're improving better.

What the hell are you doing here?

That was my line.

I think you know what I'm doing here.

Diana.

Diana's dead.

Not unless you killed her.

You know about this, don't you? You already know all about it. Never mind

know.

Who are you working for now?

CIA, FBI?

Listen.

Did you hear that?

That's a homing signal.

Martin was right.

She's trying to reach him.

Yeah, it's coming from over here.

Check out the computer.

Okay.

This is it.

Mr. Donovan and Mr. Tyler.

How nice of you to see me off.

You don't have much time.

Martin only had one pill left.

I'm going after her.

Circle around outside. Fire a shot if you spot her. One shot's all I'll need.

We've come full circle, haven't we?

Drop your weapon.

Goodbye, Mr. Donovan.

It's a mark.

Dead.

Next time.

It's already next time.

Your transmission was interrupted or we would have been here sooner.

What a primitive planet.

We were afraid you might be dead by now.

The red dust.

I don't know why, but it didn't affect me or you.

Our motherships and our sky fighters. How many are left in the Earth system?

Enough.
