They arrived in 50 motherships, offering their friendship and advanced

technology to Earth.

Skeptical of the visitors, Mike Donovan and Juliet Parrish infiltrated their

racks. and soon discovered some startling secrets.

Shipping food!

The resistance is all that stands between us and the visitor.

No use.

They're calling reinforcements.

Get back into that alley over there.

All right.

There's no time to be resting. No use, Mike. At the dead end is a solid brick

wall. Okay, we'll blow it. With what? The grenades we don't have.

Donovan! It's too late. There's no way out.

I'll make this any uglier than it has to be.

What about you, Elizabeth?

I've tried, Mike, but I can't. It's like I'm changing. I've lost my powers.

Oh, great.

This is my final appeal.

Lay down your arms and surrender.

I assure you, we will spare your lives.

Right. How many times have we heard that one?

We've had our back to the wall before. We're not licked yet.

You give me no choice!

Okay. Willie, one for all?

All for one.

We started this together. We're going out together. Come on.

I'll give people on

my count of three.

One, two.

Cease all hostilities.

Return to the mothership immediately.

All visitor troops are to return to the mothership immediately.

Cease all hostilities.

All visitor troops are to return to the mothership at once.

That's incredible.

Elizabeth, did you... Then how?

At this point, don't ask. We just got a major break.

Sir, is this possible?

I repeat,

cease all hostilities.

All visitor troops.

are to return to the mothership immediately.

Let's move, people.

Well, Lydia, it's time you've overstepped the bounds of even your ego.

I demand an explanation for this cowardly withdrawal.

Actually, I'm not the person you should be speaking to. I'm merely following

orders. I was the one who issued the troop recall, Diane.

Under whose authority, may I ask?

The leader's.

He's declared that all hostilities be immediately terminated.

Why? When we're so close to victory.

Well, apparently, Lieutenant, the reports of your success have somehow

overly exaggerated.

I can't imagine how.

Oh, I can.

Regardless, the war is over.

The leader himself is due to arrive here to take personal charge of the peace

negotiations. Peace negotiations?

You engineered this, didn't you?

You're a traitor, just like your brother Martin.

We both know that's a lie, Diana.

Fortunately, the leader knows it as well.

The truth is, Diana, the leader's lost confidence in you.

Your voice will no longer be heard.

That's right, New York. The same is true in London and Paris.

Over and out.

It's really incredible, but... Coming in from all around the world, and it's all

the same.

I don't trust them. They fought for the world this long. Why give it up now?

What if it's a decoy set to throw us off? And it's working like crazy.

thinks the visitors are for real. The fighting has stopped all over the world.

You know how we always talked about the war ending?

How great it would be?

Why does it feel so weird?

What's going on?

They're messing with her mind. No.

She is receiving a message.

What kind of message?

From the leader.

It is his manner to contact anyone, anytime, at any distance.

That's crazy.

Kyle, she is also one of us.

I have to go. To where?

In mothership.

The leader wants me there.

No way.

Not until we find out what the hell is going on around here.

She must go.

Take it easy.

Knock next time.

Just wait a minute. To where?

And what is this peace thing after years of war?

It's the leader's will.

I see he's already made contact with Elizabeth.

Is that part of the peace process?

She is the blending of our two cultures.

She is the source of the leader's truth.

You see, without Elizabeth, there will never be any chance for lasting peace.

Just wait, wait a minute. Can we take this one step at a time?

Okay, now, why has the fighting stopped?

Well, I can only speculate as to why the leader called to cease fire, but I can

tell you this, that having arrived here and meeting you people and learning from

you, I've been in constant contact with the leader to convince him...

That we can live together.

But it's not right for one to prey on the other.

You see, Elizabeth will enable him to see this.

All right.

But if she goes, we all go.

I'll make those arrangements.

visitorships are withdrawing from the various major cities of the world.

from Paris, Rome, London, St. Louis, all confirm worldwide celebrations that

make VJ Day and VE Day pale by comparison.

I'm Tawny Schneider, and I'm happy to say that this may be the last broadcast

the Freedom Network.

Fools! If we attacked now, the entire planet would be ours by nightfall.

It's a pity you didn't think of that plan earlier, dear, when the leader

had confidence in you.

Or in you, darling.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's Philip the leader is communicating through.

I must admit you amaze me, Diana.

What persistence you have. You absolutely refuse to accept reality.

It's still time for the leader to be fully informed of Philip's act of

You're deluding yourself, darling.

Philip has convinced the leader that the humans are a noble race.

Do you really believe that, Lydia? What I believe isn't important.

My sole function is to serve our leader.

And I intend to do just that.

That stays.

You want us to go in there unarmed?

Mike, we'll be sitting ducks.

Sorry, it's supposed to be a peace fire.

Julie, what do you think?

I mean, am I the only one who's the least bit suspicious around here?

No, Kyle, we're all a little suspicious.

But we've always taken chances, and we're not going to stop now.

Yeah?

What about Elizabeth?

Look at her.

The leader's got her brainwashed already.

Kyle, you've taught me a lot about earth love.

Now let me teach you about true love.

That's not what I meant.

I understand more than you know.

Your earth love is good and warm.

But you only know love as it is tied to your body.

In the cosmos, there is a greater love.

For there are no bodies.

I won't let you go.

I don't think we're going to stop her, Kyle.

The best thing we can do is just stay with her and play this thing out.

Come on, you two.

Shuttle's ready.

So am I.

Changing. Yeah, but into what?

Like that.

Now that we're here, I can't argue with you.

I don't blame you both for being a little jumpy. Yeah?

What are we gonna do if we're right?

Nothing.

Yet.

I take it you know these people?

Intimately. Skilled fighters, all.

Yes. It's almost a pity that we won't be in combat again.

My Diana, I didn't know that you could feel pity when we think of our changing.

I meant no disrespect.

After all, if it weren't for the armistice, how else would I get the

Donovan in my grasp?

Elizabeth will need the appropriate garments.

I've already seen to it, Commander.

It's beautiful.

It's beauty like yours, Elizabeth.

Represents the unification of all living things.

If there's anything else I can do, don't hesitate to ask.

Look at her, fawning all over them.

Liddy's attempting to become a diplomat, it seems.

She's making a fool of herself.

Perhaps she's aware of something that we choose to ignore.

When the war is over, there's little use for warriors.

That's why we're going to make certain that the war continues.

Without such games of customary.

We have honoring the leader letting off a little steam at the same time creative

concept Find

that one interesting

He knows he's beaten, you see.

In real combat, those swords would have been charged with nuclear

disintegrators. Slightest touch of the body would mean instant death.

That would take the fun out of it, wouldn't it?

Interesting perspective.

Care to try it sometime?

With uncharged weapons?

Of course.

I should warn you, though, I'm pretty good.

I've been trained by a venerated master.

Well, I've watched all the old Errol Flynn movies.

Should be an even match.

Thelma.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I was sure I would never see you.

It's unbelievable.

Yes, it is.

You told me you were dead.

No.

I've been living among the humans.

How? Why?

It is a very long story.

I want to hear it, Willie.

The whole thing.

It seems too good to be true.

Getting you back is like a miracle.

We can pick up right where we left off.

I've never forgotten you, Willie.

I've never stopped dreaming about becoming your wife.

You must be kidding.

They mean to fence each other with nuclear swords?

Unarmed, of course.

It seems they've become fast friends.

Too fast for my taste.

I always suspected that Philip was a traitor.

It's perfect, don't you think?

I begin to understand what you mean, yes.

You must simply see to it that the swords are charged.

Neither one of them will suspect, since Philip has ordered safe arrangements.

They'll fight.

One of them will kill the other.

Which means an end to this horrid détente.

Perhaps you'll be lucky, Diana.

With two such equally matched warriors, each might just kill the other.

You know, I still have trouble trusting that guy.

No offense.

Philip has always kept his word.

Let us hope our luck does not run out.

I do love an athletic contest.

Don't you, James?

Would you care to place a wager on the outcome?

No, I think for them the stakes couldn't be higher.

And once I take care of Philip and Donovan...

I'll turn to the leader.

Are you sure you want to go through with this? To tell you the truth, I can't

think of a way to get out of it.

I can.

Those swords are supposed to be lethal weapons.

Come on, now. They're deactivated. It's supposed to be harmless.

This is a ritual duel, not a fight to the death.

I've got a shuttle in Landing Bay 3. If anything goes wrong, you get Elizabeth

and everybody else down there.

You can count on that.

Good luck.

Take it easy on me, Mike.

Oh, I'm sure you're going to be able to hold your own.

Thank you.

That the sword's been charged.

The energy emanating from the tips would burn right through your outer tissue.

Not a pretty picture.

So much for fun and games.

Who's responsible for preparing the swords?

I prepared the swords myself.

Obviously, somebody got to the swords before we fought.

Obviously.

I'll get to the bottom of this at once.

With peace at hand, the last thing we need among us is a lunatic.

It's good to be back, isn't it, Willie?

I mean, among friends.

Um, yes, yes. I am very happy.

Me too.

I spoke with my mother back on the home planet.

When I told her you'd come back, she said she wanted to start planning the

wedding right away.

Wedding?

Um, Athelna, listen, I think perhaps you may be...

rushing things a little.

You see, since we last saw each other, I have, um... I have changed.

Are you saying you don't want to marry me?

Up until a few hours ago, I hadn't even thought about marriage.

All I can say is that I do not have an answer yet.

After I waited all those years...

Thelma, listen to me. Our union has been arranged since we were in the incubator

together.

Even before we were hatched, our parents agreed that you and I would be married.

Listen, Thelma, you do not understand.

I am not sure I understand either, but since I have spent so much time on

I have come to think as the humans in many ways.

I don't care about your siding with the Resistance.

That will all be forgotten.

My father has some very important friends. It won't even go on your

That's what I mean.

I do not care about my record.

Listen, I am not going to return to the home planet.

It has nothing to do with you personally. It's just that... Excuse me,

I'm afraid I don't handle rejection very well.

Thelma?

If you hadn't botched this assassination...

This loathsome truce would have already ended.

Now I'm forced to deal directly with the leader.

Well, surely you don't propose to overthrow the leader.

Why not?

You're no stranger to ambition.

Why not bypass your fellow underlings and get a real taste of power?

What if I refuse to join your conspiracy?

Unfortunately, you're already a part of it.

I've been conducting an investigation into Philip's recent brush with death.

And I have considerable evidence that this entire plot is your brainchild.

You'd throw me to the snakes at my heart?

Without a moment's hesitation.

Really?

I thought you'd be inclined to have me around a little longer.

Don't flatter yourself, Lieutenant.

I can easily find other means of relieving my boredom.

Now, are you going to help me reverse Philip's treacherous peace plan, or are

you going to capitulate to his whims like Lydia and the others?

Well, as you know, I am no lover of peace, Commander.

But unless you come up with a more reasonable plan to terminate the leader,

Don't worry, Lieutenant.

I do.

Elizabeth, you have got to be realistic.

And look at what almost happened to Donovan.

You've always known there are doubters in both camps, Kyle.

We must give peace a chance.

Okay.

Then let's get right to the heart of the matter.

I don't want to lose you.

Kyle, that's not fair.

I don't care.

I don't care that it's not fair.

It's true.

Isn't there anything that I can do to get you to back out of all this?

No You won't reconsider I

wish I could But you've always known there was another side of me

I Have to go Philip asked me to see him in his quarters before the leader

arrives

Wait a minute.

Maybe Philip should see both of them.

I'll be fine, Kyle.

Thank you for looking after me.

I just saw Philip.

He asked me to apologize for him.

He's going to be a few minutes late for the meeting.

Thank you.

You've grown into a very beautiful woman.

I'd like the chance to spend some time with you.

I still feel very close to you.

I don't feel the same way towards you.

You will.

Time heals all wounds.

Was there anything else?

I want to warn you that the leader's behavior is very unpredictable.

If there should be a change unexpectedly, you can always turn to me.

I can't imagine why I'd ever turn to you.

I can.

The Starchild was a former pupil of yours, wasn't she, Diana?

Yes, for a brief time.

I was the one who taught her all her powers.

Strange she didn't seem all that grateful.

My mind is full of strange and inexplicable images.

The names and configurations of galaxies I've never seen.

Sounds and the furies of ancient battles and mystic rites live.

In my dreams.

And all of this disturbs you, naturally.

And these feelings.

So intense, so violent, that they torture me.

And I cannot explain them.

Elizabeth.

Now more than ever, you must remain strong.

You are the star child.

The bringer of peace.

And the unifier of cultures.

What you're experiencing, Elizabeth, is the racial memory of one strain of your

ancestry.

Ours.

It's time you were introduced to yourself, Elizabeth.

Then you will teach me.

Now.

The history begins many cycles and sequences ago in solemn bow.

What did Philip have to say?

Well, what could he say?

That Diana charged the weapons?

She's too shifty to be involved in that openly.

Well, if she's behind it, what's to stop her from blowing the truce again?

Time, for one thing, is on our side.

When the leader gets here, she's finished.

No, she's not, Mike.

Then I've got a landing craft in bay three for a quick getaway.

Land B.

Well, we still have Philip's word for it that the leader's 100 % behind our

movement for peace.

You can't believe that when I see it. Two days ago, we were mortal enemies,

all of a sudden, it's like we're long -lost lovers.

Something is just not right. It just feels like we're sitting on a time bomb.

I hope it doesn't go off.

Excellent.

Very good.

Now, you're sure you're familiar with how to use this, hmm?

Yes. It'll be easier with a laser cannon.

The idea is for the assassination to look like an act of resistance

hmm?

Never mind. Just do as I tell you, and within an hour, the both of you will be

galactic heroes.

You better be.

Well, you will be.

I hope you're ready for his arrival, Diana.

I'm always ready, Lydia.

For anything.

It's the resistance on the catwalk.

I knew they couldn't be trusted.

They're disintegrated. Now we'll never know who they are.

It's very convenient for whoever staged the attack.

We know who staged the attack.

Take them away.

Halt!

Put your weapons down.

This time you've gone too far, Diana.

This is a mutiny.

Call it whatever you'd like.

But before you attempt to override my authority, be sure that your forces are

willing to listen to the orders of a commander whose friends assassinated our

leader. We'll never get away with this, Diana.

I already have, you fool.

The one mistake you made was growing soft inside.

For that, you'll pay.

Take them somewhere where they won't be dangerous to anyone else.

Or to themselves.

Prepare them for permanent orbit. Around an asteroid of your choice.

Farewell, my friends.

Not her.

No! She stays with me. Attention all hands.

Prepare for the arrival of the leader.

Caught again, Diana.

Waving your true colors.

You see, I knew the leader was going to arrive on the second shuttle.

I suggested it as a safety measure.

You just proved it to be a necessary measure.

Let her go.

Do as he says!

You're very clever, Philip.

But you haven't won yet.

Elizabeth,

can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

Good.

The leader knows you're here.

I know that.

I'm in communication with him now.

The time is near when he will meet with you.

I am ready.

However, until that time, you must be protected.

But come.

Set all infusion reactors to reach critical mass.

But Diana, an infused nuclear reaction will not only destroy the mothership,

the entire planet as well.

All the better.

How long will that take?

Exactly four minutes.

If I can't rule the ship, no one else will.

Seal the doors.

But what about Lieutenant James?

He should be here by now. We can't wait for him.

It's nice to know that your timing is still impeccable.

Diana sealed off the bridge.

That gives her absolute control of the fusion reactors.

She can blow us all to infinity.

Along with herself, and she's capable of it. She can't go back. She tried to

depose the leader.

Her die is cast.

So? What are we going to do about it?

Well, if we can penetrate the reactor hole, it'll shut down the ship's power

supply. Let's do it.

We're all going to die.

Well, things are not great now, that is for certain.

Since everything's going to end, could you do something for me?

Oh, yes, Thelma.

What?

Oh, can you... Well, say it.

Please.

Please, tell me that you love me.

Well, that you once did.

I did.

And I'm not sure that that love has died.

If things were different, if this were another time and place...

Well, how do you feel about Earth?

Anywhere with you would be paradise.

We wouldn't have to get married right away. We could live together for a

I know it's been a long time.

What are you doing?

This is a human custom that you will just have to get used to.

I think I will like it very much on Earth.

If we make it, we live through this.

I want you to be my wife.

We'll make it, Willie.

I know we will.

Even if I have to stop Diana myself.

You ready? Yeah. All right.

Fire.

Nothing. We're not getting any place. We need something with more power. We have

nothing else. We've got to blow that door. We've got to get into the master

control room. It's the heart of the mothership.

Diana has the ship sealed off.

Feld, what are we going to do?

There's nothing more we can do.

To say the leader orders.

Wait!

There is something.

Willie. What? Anything.

This.

She is the star child.

If the leader designed all this, and he can communicate through her, then he can

use her. to undo all of this.

Willie, please.

Elizabeth.

Allow me to speak with the leader.

Can she do this?

If he wishes it.

Arachnid cum holomatra.

Willie!

Is there any other way in there?

Well... I used to work in the ventilation systems.

Yes, show me.

Oh, this way.

Arachnid cum holo matra.

Arachnid cum holo matra.

Les despontalums.

Les despontalums.

They've broken into the reactor hole.

We're beaten.

No!

She's gone, so what?

So what are we going to do now?

There's only one thing to do.

Here, look at me.

Quick, the shuttle bay!

Right there, Diana.

Good luck wriggling your way out of this one, Diana.

Don't bait me, Lydia, for I shall return.

Keep him well guarded.

As soon as the leader's gone, they'll be taken back for trial.

Yes.

A justice is quicker than yours, but just as lasting.

My brother was a wise man choosing to trust you, Dunham.

He was my friend.

As you are.

You've got a great planet here, Mike.

Fought valiantly to save it.

Don't misuse it.

We'll do our best.

It is time.

Come to me, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth! I think she needs to go.

Once they reach the Dark Zone, the planet will be ours.

Are you sure?

I left a going -away present aboard the leader's shuttle.

You should get a big bang out of it.

I hope we did the right thing.

Yeah, I feel it.

She may find peace and happiness.

Who knows? Maybe we all will.

Wait a minute.

Where's Kyle?

Well, he was here a moment ago. You don't think... Don't away.
