The red dust is supposed to be everywhere. How'd she stay alive?

She killed Martin.

Took one of his pills.

It should have worn off by now.

Not judging by the way she tried to kill us.

That reminds me.

What brings you out here?

When I heard Diana had been shot and killed, I went down to the morgue to

look at the body, and guess what?

It was a year -old lizard stiff.

Somebody made a switch.

Somebody?

Who? Whoever had helped her escape.

We got company.

Maybe they'll be able to raise the military on their radio.

Somebody's wife did it?

That's the question.

Why us?

Elizabeth! Elizabeth?

Oh,

my

God.

Your security fleet officer?

Yes. At the leader's request.

He'll be pleased you survived.

I've ordered all assault commanders to the bridge for briefing.

What is the status of the fleet?

We've regrouped behind the Earth's moon to await orders. The leader was...

Extremely disturbed by our defeat.

Over the past year, our planet has become a barren wasteland. Our search

another planet must continue. The leader demands it. We need this world for

survival. Which is precisely why I intend to take it. By force of arms. But

red dust bacteria... My survival is proof that the red dust is no longer a

danger to us.

to describe the pleasure it gives me to stand before you once again.

For the past year, during my long confinement, one thing consumed my mind.

The moment when I might return and lead you to final victory.

That moment is upon us.

I want a full -scale offensive.

All pilots proceed to deck B.

Assault teams, assemble on C.

The attack will begin at 0900.

Give no order.

Today, We conquer a world!

Diana, you mentioned a special assignment. Captain Rowland has

He's one of shop troops. He's the best in the field.

Excellent.

I want you to find this child and bring her to me. Consider it done.

I can't get through to Robin. There must be a line down. Happens a lot up here.

That's okay. She's stabilized.

Must be her alien chemistry.

Only thing concerns me now is her temperature. It's so low.

I built a fire.

Radio says it's dropping below freezing tonight.

You want a beer? Yeah, sure.

Elizabeth?

It's just incredible.

Physiologically, she's jumped ten years.

Why can't she speak?

I guess her body hasn't adjusted to a new configuration.

Same thing happened before.

That's right, honey, that's your mommy's nightgown. It fits you now.

Elizabeth, take my hand.

Come on, come with me.

It's all right.

That's you and your mother, remember?

Mommy will be back in a couple of days.

Elizabeth!

Honey, it's okay.

Don't worry.

We're here to help you.

Good. Okay, sweetheart, you get underneath here. You stay there, do you

understand?

Our troops are dying, but how can that be?

We must call off the attack, at once.

More casualties?

No victory.

Miami, Panama, and Rio de Janeiro.

Put up a map of our landing zones.

Overlay the red dust deployment areas.

Add weather patterns and correlate.

Of course.

The red dust is a bacteria and a sensitive one, apparently requiring a

stage to regenerate its life cycle.

In places that experience freezing, it can regenerate and thrive.

But in warmer places like Los Angeles, it withers and dies.

Lieutenant?

Yes, Commander.

Have an attack team meet me in the docking bay. I'm going back.

But what if the humans introduce more red dust into the atmosphere?

Which is precisely what I intend to prevent by striking at the source.

Thank you.

the human species.

Hey, good buddy.

Species can calm out just as good on the domestic, right?

Hurry up, get in.

Julie, Robert, I thought the visitors had got you. They're everywhere.

I don't understand why the red dust isn't working. I was wondering about

myself.

Who's your friend?

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

Willie, how did you know?

Because she carries the mark of Zahn.

Zahn? Willie, what are you talking about?

Of Preta Nama.

Zahn was an outlawed religion practiced by the Lords of Light.

They proposed... No, um, they opposed the leader until he had them killed.

It is said that one survived, one who has the keys to the destruction of the

visitors.

His name is Amon.

You can tell him from the same mark.

I've seen some weird stuff since those saucers landed, but this here takes the

cake.

Listen, I've got to get back to the lab. The whole city's in an uproar. The red

dust may be breaking down.

Can they stay here?

Of course you can stay.

Thanks, Lance. Julie, be careful.

Okay, don't worry about me. Take care of Elizabeth.

Bye, sweetheart.

Bye.

Club something or other.

It's on 4th Street.

Excellent.

I've been expecting you.

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

I could kill you right now and no one would even know.

So you were listening when I said that to you.

I'm changing one line.

I will kill you right now.

You see, my troops have seized every storage tank in this facility.

Cotter trying to leave the building.

Let her go.

You're hardly in a position to give orders.

That's a matter of opinion.

You see this little device?

It's a pulsometer.

Very popular item nowadays among the joggers.

This one's a little bit different.

If it's removed from my wrist, or my pulse should stop suddenly, it will send

out a signal.

A signal where?

To the explosives installed throughout this facility.

There'll be enough red dust released in the atmosphere to snuff out every

twitching lizard in your command.

If those explosives are triggered, Diana, you and your armies will die.

Gasping and twitching in agony while I and the rest of my race will yawn, clean

up the mess and move on.

What do you want?

A bargain.

Something for something.

You remove your troops from Los Angeles, and I'll not infuse the red dust into

the atmosphere.

Not enough.

Now who's in no position to bark? I want the mothership returned.

Done.

We'll make arrangements tomorrow, noon.

Noon tomorrow's fine.

Until next time, Julie.

Are you all right?

How could you sell out like that?

I simply did what I had to do. All you had to do was release the red dust.

It's not quite that simple.

Take a look at this.

These are laboratory animals that were exposed to heavy doses of the red dust.

You can see the results.

Mutation, sterility, death.

That's impossible.

I tested it on myself.

Our data showed that the red dust was harmless to life on Earth.

We were wrong.

We're at the threshold right now.

We can't use the dust anymore without... Without destroying all life on Earth.

So you were bluffing.

Oh, no.

I was playing to win.

Get enough to eat?

Yeah, those guns are getting close.

No problem. Club Creole, we specialize in two things.

Food and shelter.

Elias, this is terrific.

Yeah, near as I can figure, it was an old bordello back in Prohibition days.

I put that entrance in myself.

The guy who sold me the place doesn't even know it's here.

Matter of fact, nobody knows it's here except Willie and us.

The way the visitors seem to want it, it's probably best to keep it that way.

Right, the original intergalactic hot potato.

Yeah.

Where's her mom?

i wish i knew man

Then why this charade of diplomacy?

To buy time.

One needs to set a trap before it can be strong.

I don't understand.

By shortly after noon tomorrow, Nathan Bates, his supply of red dust and his

precious city will all be a pile of smoldering atoms.

I've requested that the particle beam triax be deployed here at once.

The triax?

But that's supposed to remain in orbit to protect the main space lanes. It

be diverted without the leader's approval.

Victory, dear Lydia, cuts through an awful lot of red tape.

Indeed, fear and terror have been our constant companions these past few days.

But as you can see, today I bring you hope. Better, Mr. Red Dust, than death.

Hope that the end may be in sight.

I have formed a provisional government.

After tomorrow's treaty ceremony, this government will administer the city of

Los Angeles as an open city.

Where neither visitor nor human forces may bear arms.

But where both may coexist in peace.

Thank you.

Good night.

Julie was right.

Bates never mentioned giving back to Mothership.

Then we've got to act fast. It's obvious Bates is in bed with Diana.

Really?

I did not know that.

It's a figure of speech, Willie.

With Diana, one never knows.

I say we kill him before he sells us out.

Killing Bates won't get us the mothership. And that's the one thing we

afford to lose.

You still don't understand, do you?

When you have a problem, you handle it. You don't understand.

We're a team.

Remember? Your team, not mine.

I know. Where are you going?

Well, does anybody else think the mothership's not worth stealing?

I'd like...

Julie works for Bates.

Maybe you can get us a board.

Well, it's pretty heavily guarded, but even if we did get a board, there's no

guarantee we'd even get it off the ground.

Bates shut down the main reactor months ago.

You got a better idea?

Maybe, but let's get Ham back before he does something to really hurt the

resistance. Forget Ham.

The problem's Nathan Bates.

Or do you still enjoy a special relationship?

If I did, do you think I would have told you about his deal with Diana in the

first place?

Let's get down to business.

Triax remote guidance system engaged and online.

I assume you've spoken to the leader.

Lydia, the Triax can vaporize 100 square miles without nuclear fallout. I am

confident that the leader will understand.

Once I've made an example of Los Angeles, the rest of the planet will

follow. Commander, Triax en route to our position. ETA, 1 ,200 hours.

Perfect. The same time as the treaty ceremony.

Put the test on the monitor.

I want to see what total victory looks like.

will destroy one of the moons of their planet they call Jupiter.

Engage particle beam.

I

understand

what you're trying to do, Nathan. You're trying to achieve a lasting peace.

But there are others who don't understand.

We'll try to kill you before allowing you to sign this pact with Diana.

I'm touched by your concern.

I was hoping to persuade you to join me.

As a former leader of the resistance, you just might make the difference.

Maybe you didn't hear what I just said. Someone may try to kill you.

You be there with me tomorrow, I'll double my security.

You are incredibly stubborn.

Say yes.

Good. I knew you'd understand.

The treaty doesn't take effect until tomorrow.

It would be safer if you stayed here tonight.

Oh, well, it's really nice to know that somebody cares.

But I'm a big girl.

See you tomorrow.

Give me security.

Security's going to be tight.

Timing's going to be everything, but if Julie can get Bates to pull out some of

his guards, we might be able to sneak aboard and get into the master control

room. So what? It's a mothership, not a helicopter. How are we going to get it

off the ground?

Look, there's an autopilot system.

If we can just start the engines, with Willie's help, I think I can fly it.

It's our only chance.

I suppose we do grab it. Where are we going to stash it, huh?

Grand Canyon or what?

No, the ranch.

The red dust will keep the visitors away for a while.

All right, that sounds good, but it still leaves us with the problem of the

reactor. We don't know the code Bates uses to shut it down.

Robert.

We may need Elizabeth on this, just to start the engines.

No.

No, I'm not going to place her in that kind of jeopardy.

She helped us once before.

Donovan, I...

Do you realize what he's asking? Do you understand how dangerous this is? You

could be killed.

Well, it looks like we just gained another resistance fighter.

That's good, because I think you just lost one.

What do you mean? Bates bought it, didn't he?

He did agree to remove most of his guards.

Yes, he did.

Under one condition, that I go with him.

Wait a minute. Whose idea was that?

Oh, come on, Mike. Nathan, trust me. It's the only way. The rest is up to

If she can keep Bates occupied and the guards away, we can get to the

mothership. There's got to be a better way.

Look, we don't have time to argue. The treaty ceremony is at noon tomorrow.

Be careful.

Okay.

What do you have there?

I already messaged for Diana from the commander of the tracks.

What is he requesting?

Let it be permitted to return it to its position or I'll contact the leader

directly. Very well. I'll see that she gets it immediately.

Well, you do look like a diplomat, but I still think this plan is insane.

I prefer daring.

But cheer up, darling.

While I'm signing the treaty, you'll be in command.

The Triax will be in orbit over Los Angeles for exactly three hours.

At that time, I will excuse myself from the treaty conference.

I've notified communications to await my signal before ordering the particle

beam to reduce this city to rubble.

I understand.

Good. For the moment, then, you have the command.

Command for the moment, Diana.

Perhaps for longer than that.

Julie was right.

No guards at Sector 4.

Let's go.

I'd like to get started. I've had to transfer guards here from every Science

Frontiers facility.

Have my shuttle ready for takeoff.

Nathan, here she comes.

Hans Ruck.

Autopilot. Good.

What's that?

Nothing. Something in my throat.

20 minutes and closing.

She's done.

We've got power. I'm going to start the launch sequence.

Get them ready. The guards are going to know it when we're online.

We have a power reading from the captured ship.

A power reading from the captured ship? Sure.

Main reactors, navigational compasses, fusion drives, anti -grav lifters.

Commander, she's preparing for liftoff. It may be a trick.

Arm all weapons banks.

Set a course that will put us above that ship.

Therefore, with this treaty, we finally have peaceful coexistence within the 50

-square -mile area of Los Angeles.

I'm certain that all of us, human and visitors alike...

We'll become examples to the world if we work towards a common goal.

minute to capture chip.

The captured ship has lifted off.

Plot course to intercept.

Arm Ian torpedoes. Productive and fruitful partnership.

Particle beam triax.

Nothing on Earth could possibly stand up to that. What about this ship?

Not enough firepower.

Not talking about firepower.

You're right.

Okay, I got you into this.

Take the others. Get on board a fighter. No, thanks, Donovan. Look, there's no

point in both of us dying.

I've got the short straw, and that's it.

No, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, look, I am not choosing to die. I'm choosing for you to live.

You and your mother and millions of people that that thing out there might

The hardest part.

You are a great, great zero.

Hero, Lily.

Hero.

Lock torpedoes on the other ship.

Blow it out of the sky.

Impossible, Commander.

I gave a direct order. The Triax is in our line of fire, Lydia. We can't do a

thing.

You.

You're an intriguing woman, Dr. Parrish.

Do you say so?

Code transmission, Lydia.

The leader must be told of your insubordination and incompetence. And

your incompetence? My incompetence? I trusted you with command for a few

And look what happened.

You were unable to prevent an inexperienced mob of humans from

Perhaps no message should be sent.

Charming idea.

I don't believe it. They're actually doing it. The visitors are actually

their troops out of the city.

Pray to Nama.

Pray to Nama.

Pray to Nama, Grandfather.

We'll mingle with the Lords of Light.

It was beautiful, Elizabeth.

Robert will be very proud.

Don't you worry.

We'll find your mother, I promise you that.

Get out of the car.
