OF COURSE WE SUFFERED
LOSSES, MAN.

YOU DON'T GO UP AGAINST
A FORCE LIKE THIS
WITHOUT EXPECTING LOSSES.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MIKE] HOW MANY LOSSES?
HOW MANY LOSSES?

SEVEN MEN AND WOMEN
KILLED.

A DOZEN WOUNDED.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MIKE] YOU'RE WOUNDED, TOO.
YOU'RE WOUNDED, TOO!

THESE WOUNDS
ARE NOTHING, SEE,

COMPARED TO THE WOUNDS
THAT THEY'VE INFLICTED
ON OUR COUNTRY.

BUT WE'RE GONNA FIGHT
THEM TILL WE WIN.
YOU GOT THAT?

WE'RE GONNA FIGHT
TILL EL SALVADOR IS FREE,

THERE AIN'T NOTHING
GONNA STOP US.

HEY, YOU GOT THAT?

YEAH. I GOT IT.

MAN, THIS DON'T
LOOK GOOD.

ARE YOU KIDDING?
IT'S GREAT.

[GUNFIRE]

COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON!

YOU'LL GET ME KILLED
THIS TIME, DONOVAN.

YOU'LL
GET ANOTHER EMMY.

A BULLET
IN MY EARPHONE.

LOOK AT HIM!

LOOK AT HIM.

[CHEERING]

UNBELIEVABLE.

UNBELIEVABLE
IS THAT WE'RE
STILL HERE.

NOW COME ON, MAN!

GET IN ALREADY.
HURRY UP!

WISH WE HAD
A TYLER MOUNT.

I WISH WE
HAD A TANK.

HANG IN THERE.
IT'S NO WORSE
THAN CAMBODIA.

AT LEAST IF YOU GOT CREAMED
THERE, I COULD'VE PASSED
FOR ONE OF THEM.

WHERE'D HE GO?

MIKE.

AH!

TONY, YOU OK?

[TONY] LOVING
EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO LAW SCHOOL.

[MIKE] CAN YOU RUN?

DO I HAVE A CHOICE?

- [MIKE] NOT REALLY.
- [TONY] LET'S GO.

I'LL DRAW THEIR FIRE.
YOU HAUL IT OVER THERE.

MIKE, YOU'RE CRAZY.
WE'RE GOING OUT
TOGETHER.

GET YOUR CAN
IN GEAR. GO!

MIKE!

COME ON, ALGERNON.
SHOW DR. METZ
YOUR TUMMY.

IT'S REMARKABLE!

THE LESION'S
NEARLY HEALED.

YES.

YOU KNOW HOW LONG
MY RESEARCH STAFF

HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
FOR THAT FORMULA?

WELL, RUTH HELPED
A LOT.

NOT SO.
SHE DID IT ALL HERSELF.

I WAS VERY LUCKY.

HMM. THE TRUTH IS,
JULIET, THAT YOU ARE
VERY, VERY GIFTED.

I WARN YOU, RUTH AND I ARE
GONNA TRY TO STEAL YOU
FROM THE MED SCHOOL,

GET YOU INTO
BIOCHEMISTRY FULL-TIME.

[SQUEAKING]

HAVE YOU HEARD
ABOUT THEM?

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.

THEY'RE ALL AROUND
THE WORLD.

BUT WHEREVER THE REPORTS
HAVE COME FROM,

PARIS, ROME, GENEVA,
BUENOS AIRES, TOKYO,

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CRAFT
ARE ALL IDENTICAL.

AND NOW I'M TOLD

THAT OUR AFFILIATE STATION
KXT IN SAN FRANCISCO

NOW HAS A PICTURE.

YES, THERE IT IS.
GOOD LORD.

IT'S COMING IN ACROSS
THE GOLDEN GATE.

THIS IS A LIVE PICTURE
FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

[SQUEAKING]

[QUINTON]
GENTLY, ROBERT.

SHE'S A VERY SPECIAL
LADY.

UPPER PLEISTOCENE.

IT'S MUCH OLDER
THAN WE'VE FOUND
BEFORE NOW, QUINTON.

AYE, THAT SHE IS, LAD.

NOTICE THE CONTOUR
OF HER FOREHEAD.

YOU SEE HOW IT--

[GASP]

RICHARD,
WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S HUGE!

WHAT THE DEVIL...

IT MUST BE
3 MILES ACROSS!

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[SWITCHES OFF]

[TV ANCHOR] THIS
IS THE SCENE ALONG
THE CHAMPS ELYSÉES

WE REPEAT,
THIS PICTURE'S COMING
LIVE FROM PARIS

WHERE
ANOTHER GIANT UFO
IS MOVING OVERHEAD.

THE PENTAGON REPORTS
THAT FIGHTERS

FROM THE TACTICAL
AIR COMMAND BASES
AROUND THE NATION

HAVE APPROACHED
THE MONSTROUS UFOs,

BUT ALL THE JETS
REPORTED INTERFERENCE

WITH THEIR ON-BOARD
GUIDANCE AND ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT,

MAKING IT QUITE
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET
WITHIN A MILE.

MISSILES FIRED
SIMPLY GO ASTRAY

AND DETONATE
OUT OF RANGE.

HERE, ONE OF THE CRAFT
APPROACHES
WASHINGTON, D.C.

POLICE AND TROOPS ARE TRYING
TO MAINTAIN ORDERLY EVACUATION
OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL

AND ALL OTHER CITIES
WHICH ARE THREATENED
BY THIS UNKNOWN MENACE.

ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
EVERYWHERE ARE JAMMED
WITH TRAFFIC.

OTHER CRAFT ARE KNOWN
TO BE APPROACHING

AT LEAST SIX OTHER
MAJOR U.S. CITIES--

SAN FRANCISCO,
HOUSTON, NEW YORK CITY,
AND NEW ORLEANS,

THE CHICAGO AREA,
AND LOS ANGELES.

- [WOMAN] GET THE CAR STARTED!
- [CHILD] MAMA!

[WOMAN] GRANDDAD!
GRANDDAD, COME ON!

GRANDDAD!

[HONK]

POLLY! POLLY,
ARE YOU HURT?

I DIDN'T HIT HER.
SHE WAS COMING RIGHT AT ME!
I DIDN'T HIT HER.

[DANIEL] GET OUT OF HERE!
COME ON!

- THERE IT IS!
- OH, THERE!

IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT,
WE GOTTA MOVE!

MOM?

[RUBY] I RAN
OUT OF MY HOUSE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
AN EARTHQUAKE.

NO, IT IS NOT
AN EARTHQUAKE, RUBY.

DEAR GOD, WHAT IS IT?

I CAN'T
BELIEVE IT!

- WHAT IS IT?
- IT'S FANTASTIC.

COME ON. DON'T JUST
STAND AROUND.
LET'S GO!

[FEMALE ANCHOR]
AND TASS CONFIRMS REPORTS
THAT SIMILAR GIGANTIC CRAFT

ARE NOW APPROACHING MOSCOW,
LENINGRAD, AND VLADIVOSTOK.

THIS WOULD BRING
THE UNOFFICIAL COUNT
TO AT LEAST 31.

HOW CAN IT JUST
HANG THERE?

[TV ANCHOR]
CAIRO ALSO IS REPORTING

THAT ITS UFO
IS STATIONARY NOW

LIKE ALMOST
ALL THE OTHERS.

I STILL THINK
WE SHOULD LEAVE
THE CITY.

NO. THE ROADS
ARE JAMMED.

- OH, STANLEY.
- YOU HEARD
THE PRESIDENT.

SO FAR THERE'S NO
INDICATION THAT
THEY'RE HOSTILE.

BUT IF THEY ARE...

IF THEY ARE,
I'M NOT SURE

WHERE WE WOULD
FIND A HIDING
PLACE.

[TV ANCHOR]...OF WHAT
THIS UNBELIEVABLE EVENT
WILL MEAN TO US.

LOOK, IT'S LONDON!

IN LONDON, PARLIAMENT
IS WAITING LIKE US

FOR FIRST SIGN
OF CONTACT.

THE SOVIET UNION
IS BROADCASTING
THROUGHOUT RUSSIA...

- DADDY!
- MOM, DAD'S HOME!

- ARE YOU OKAY? IS EVERYBODY OKAY?
- YEAH.

IT'S SO NEAT.
IT'S SCARY, TOO,
BUT...

OH, ROBERT.

I KNOW, I KNOW.
ME, TOO.

AT LEAST WE'RE TOGETHER.

[SIRENS SOUND]

AND COMING UP ON
16 HOURS

SINCE FIRST REPORTS
OF SIGHTINGS STARTED
YESTERDAY.

IT'S 8:00
HERE IN NEW YORK...

IT'S 5:00 HERE.
JULIE, WHY'D YOU
LET ME SLEEP?

DON'T WORRY,
THEY SAID WALL STREET
ISN'T GOING TO OPEN.

THANK GOD. I'D HATE TO THINK
OF WHAT'D HAPPEN TO
THE MARKET IF IT DID.

WHERE'S DAN RATHER?

HE FINALLY
LOST HIS VOICE.

HE WAS DOING RECAPS
MOST OF THE NIGHT.

NOTHING'S CHANGED.
NO CONTACT?

NO. RAY BRADBURY
WAS JUST ON
WITH ARTHUR CLARKE.

NOTHING SOLID. MORE
SPECULATIONS. NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT THE HELL TO THINK.

YOU'RE GOING
TO THE HOSPITAL?

YEAH, I CALLED.
THE E.R. IS JUMPING.

LOTS OF
HEART ATTACK VICTIMS
AND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS.

THEY NEED
ALL THE MED STUDENTS
THEY CAN GET.

AND HOW ABOUT
STOCKBROKERS?

YOU MEAN
YOU'RE COMING TO HELP?

SURE. I'D KIND OF
LIKE TO BE WITH YOU

JUST IN CASE.

[TV ANCHOR]
HERE'S THE SCENE
IN ATHENS, GREECE,

THE CRADLE OF OUR
WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

IT SOMEHOW SEEMS
SO INSIGNIFICANT COMPARED
TO THAT SHIP...

- I'LL GET MY CLOTHES.
- OKAY.

AND THIS IS ONLY
1 OF 50 IDENTICAL
SPACECRAFT

OVER 50 CITIES WORLDWIDE.

DO YOU REALIZE

THAT THIS IS A WHOLE
NEW BEGINNING

FOR ALL OF US?
I WONDER WHAT
THEY'LL DO FIRST--

DANNY…THIS COULD
BE THE LAST DAY
WE EVER SEE.

WELL…
[CHUCKLING]

I DON'T WANT TO DIE
UNTIL I MAKE LOVE.

ROBIN, DANIEL!
SOMETHING'S HAPPENING!

[FEMALE ANCHOR]
THE SAME OCCURRENCE
NOW IN JERUSALEM.

THE PULSING SIGNAL
HAS ALSO BEGUN.

THERE YOU SEE IT,

AND YOU HEAR
THE PULSING TONE.

LISTEN...OUTSIDE.

[PULSING TONE]

[TV ANCHOR]
NOW THE UFO
OVER LOS ANGELES

HAS JOINED THIS STRANGE,
UNEARTHLY CHOIR.

WAIT.

I'M TOLD THAT...

WHAT? THAT THERE'S
A VOCAL SIGNAL
COMING THROUGH.

THIS MAY BE IT,
THE CONTACT WE'VE
BEEN WAITING FOR.

IT'S BEING PICKED UP
ON THE FREQUENCY RESERVED
FOR INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCIES.

WE'RE MONITORING, AND...

[MAN'S VOICE]
21...20...

- [MAN'S VOICE] 19...18...
- [TV ANCHOR] THERE. YOU HEAR IT.

IT'S IN ENGLISH.
NO, I'M TOLD IT'S IN
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

[MAN'S VOICE]
QUATORZE...TREIZE...

DOUZE...

ONZE...

ENAIRE...

DEKA...

OCTO...

CHEVA...

SHISH...

FIVE...FOUR...

TRE...

DUE...

ONE.

CITIZENS OF THE PLANET EARTH,
WE BRING YOU GREETINGS,

AND WE COME IN PEACE.

WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
THAT THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

OF YOUR UNITED NATIONS

PLEASE COME TO THE TOP OF
THE UNITED NATIONS BUILDING

IN NEW YORK
AT 0100 GREENWICH MEAN TIME...

THAT'S 8:00
NEW YORK TIME.

[MAN'S VOICE]
THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU.

I'M NOT ABOUT
TO MISS THIS.

[KRISTINE] MIKE.

I HEARD YOU DREW
THE TV POOL.

- [MIKE] YEAH.
- ME, TOO.

THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED
YOUR DECK OF CARDS.

[TONY]
HI, KRISTINE.

HI, TONY.

SO…WHERE DO WE
SET UP?

YOU MIGHT AT LEAST HAVE
SAID GOOD-BYE THAT MORNING
WHEN YOU LEFT ME.

HEY, I DID. YOU WERE
ON THE PHONE HUSTLING
ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.

SORRY.

SO WAS I.

[TV ANCHOR]
30 SECONDS NOW
UNTIL 8:00.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS COMING OUT.

HE'S INDICATING
TO THE U.N. TROOPS

TO LOWER THEIR WEAPONS,
AND THEY'RE DOING SO.

JUST 15 SECONDS NOW.

HE'S LOOKING UPWARD,
AS WE ALL ARE.

AND A HUSH HAS FALLEN,

NOT JUST HERE,
BUT I'M SURE
ALL AROUND THE WORLD,

AS 8:00 STRIKES,

0100 GREENWICH
MEAN TIME...

NOW.

IT'S OPENING.
THERE'S SOMETHING
COMING OUT.

A SMALLER CRAFT MOVING DOWN
FROM THE GIANT MOTHERSHIP...

IT'S ALRIGHT.

THEY SAID THEY
CAME IN PEACE.

WHAT IS IT, DADDY?

I DON'T KNOW.

[KRISTINE]
IT'S SOME KIND OF
LANDING CRAFT?

[TV ANCHOR]
ACROSS 3rd AVENUE
AND 39th,

DIRECTLY TOWARDS
THE U.N. BUILDING.

WOW! IT'S NEAT, MOM,
HUH?

SURE.

[TV ANCHOR]
IT'S COMPLETING
ITS TURN NOW AND...

[KRISTINE]
NOW THE CRAFT
IS COMING CLOSER,

SLOWLY DRIFTING DOWNWARD.

MOMMY, CAN I
HAVE A SODA?

IN A SECOND,
HONEY.

[KRISTINE]
THE AIR ITSELF
FEELS STRANGE, VIBRATING.

[MAN'S VOICE]
HERR GENERAL SEKRETARIAT...

VAR INTE RÄDD.
KOM UPP RAMPEN.

W-WHAT WAS THAT?

I COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND.

I THINK THE VOICE
SPOKE SWEDISH.

THAT'S THE NATIVE LANGUAGE
OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL.

[TV ANCHOR]
I'M GETTING
THE TRANSLATION NOW.

IT, UH...

- MADRE MíA.
- [TV ANCHOR] SEEMS TO BE...

"DO NOT BE AFRAID.
PLEASE COME UP THE RAMP."

THAT'S ONE BRAVE MAN.

[TV ANCHOR]
AND NOW IS DISAPPEARING
THROUGH THE OPENING.

- [LYNN] STANLEY.
- TAKE IT EASY.

[KRISTINE]
THERE SEEMS TO BE ACTIVITY,
BUT IT'S TOO DARK...

THERE HE IS!

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS REAPPEARING...

OH, THANK GOD.

[KRISTINE]
APPARENTLY UNHARMED.

[SECRETARY-GENERAL]
MY FELLOW CITIZENS
OF EARTH...

NOW THE BAD NEWS.

THESE VISITORS
ASSURE ME

THEY HAVE COME IN PEACE

AND THAT THEY WISH
TO HONOR ALL THE COVENANTS

OF OUR UNITED NATIONS
CHARTER.

AS YOU WILL SEE,

THEYARE MUCH LIKE US,

ALTHOUGH THEIR VOICES
ARE UNUSUAL.

THEY ASK FOR ME TO SPEAK
ON THEIR BEHALF,

BUT I FELT THAT
EVERYONE

WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE

IF THEIR SUPREME COMMANDER,
WHO IS ABOARD THIS VESSEL,

SPOKE DIRECTLY
TO ALL OF YOU.

HIS VOICE WILL BE HEARD
'ROUND THE WORLD

IN EVERY LANGUAGE
NECESSARY.

[TV ANCHOR]
WE CAN HEAR FOOTSTEPS NOW

AND...

HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF US,

A MIDDLE-AGED MAN,

I'D SAY ROUGHLY
6 FEET...

HE SURE LOOKS
LIKE ONE OF US.

OUTWARDLY.

THAT WAS NO NASH RAMBLER
HE DROVE UP IN.

AW, MOM, HE'S NO E.T.

HE DOESN'T EVEN
LOOK LIKE MR. SPOCK.

[KRISTINE]
THE BOOTS APPEAR
TO BE LIKE KID.

THE GARMENT
LOOKS LIKE...

THEIR EVOLUTIONARY PATTERN
MUST HAVE BEEN
IDENTICAL TO OURS.

DOES HE HAVE
FOUR FINGERS AND A THUMB?

IT LOOKS LIKE--YEAH!

INCREDIBLE!

I THINK HE'S
ABOUT TO SPEAK.

[ECHOING VOICE]
I TRUST THAT YOU'LL
FORGIVE ME,

BUT OUR EYES ARE
UNACCUSTOMED TO THIS
SORT OF BRIGHTNESS.

HIS VOICE
IS STRANGE.

HE CLEARLY ISN'T
ONE OF US.

IT'S FASCINATING,
THOUGH.

WE HAVE COME IN PEACE
TO ALL MANKIND.

YOU SEE, IN PEACE.

OUR PLANET IS THE FOURTH
IN DISTANCE

FROM THE STAR
YOU CALL SIRIUS

SOME 8.7 LIGHT YEARS...

FANTASTIC.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
WE HAVE LEFT OUR SYSTEM,

AND YOU, THE FIRST
INTELLIGENT LIFE

WE'VE ENCOUNTERED.

WE'RE PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

OUR NAMES WOULD SOUND
PECULIAR TO YOU,

SO WE, MY FELLOW
VISITORS AND I,

HAVE CHOSEN
SIMPLE NAMES FROM EARTH.

MY NAME IS JOHN.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
HAS REFERRED TO ME

AS THE SUPREME COMMANDER.

ACTUALLY, I'M JUST
SORT OF AN ADMIRAL

RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS SMALL FLEET
AROUND YOUR PLANET.

THIS SMALL FLEET?

[JOHN]
WE HAVE SENT OTHER
UNMANNED CRAFT BEFORE US.

SOME HAVE MONITORED YOUR EARTH
FOR QUITE A WHILE

SO WE COULD LEARN
YOUR LANGUAGES.

BUT SOME OF US ARE NOT
AS SKILLED AS OTHERS,

AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL
BE PATIENT WITH US.

WE HAVE COME ON BEHALF
OF OUR GREAT LEADER,

HIM WHO GOVERNS
OUR UNITED PLANET

WITH BENEVOLENCE
AND WISDOM.

WE HAVE COME…
BECAUSE WE NEED YOUR HELP.

OUR PLANET IS IN SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL DIFFICULTY,

FAR, FAR WORSE
THAN YOURS.

IT'S REACHED A STAGE

WHERE WE WILL BE
UNABLE TO SURVIVE

WITHOUT IMMEDIATE
ASSISTANCE.

THERE ARE CERTAIN
CHEMICALS AND COMPOUNDS

WHICH WE MUST MANUFACTURE,

WHICH ALONE CAN SAVE
OUR STRUGGLING CIVILIZATION.

AND YOU CAN HELP US
TO MANUFACTURE THESE.

AND IN RETURN,
WE WILL GLADLY
SHARE WITH YOU

ALL THE FRUITS
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

YEAH.

NOW THAT WE HAVE
ESTABLISHED CONTACT,

WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET
WITH INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENTS

TO MAKE REQUESTS
FOR CERTAIN OPERATING PLANTS

TO BE RETOOLED
FOR THE MANUFACTURE

OF THE COMPOUND
WHICH WE NEED.

I HOPE THEY PICK
YOUR PLANT.

[JOHN] AND WE'LL REWARD
YOUR GENEROSITY,
AS I HAVE SAID,

BY EDUCATING YOUR INDUSTRIAL
AND SCIENTIFIC COMPLEX

TO THE LIMITS
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE,

HELPING TO SOLVE YOUR OWN
ENVIRONMENTAL, AGRICULTURAL,

AND HEALTH DILEMMAS.

THEN WE'LL LEAVE YOU
AS WE CAME, IN PEACE.

TALK ABOUT AN OFFER
WE CAN'T REFUSE,
HUH?

I WONDER WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN
IF WE DID.

[JOHN]
IF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES
WERE REVERSED

AND YOU HAD VISITED US,

I WOULD FEEL
A BURNING CURIOSITY

TO SEE THE INSIDE
OF YOUR SPACECRAFT
RIGHT AWAY.

AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

[JOHN] I WOULD LIKE
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

AND SEVERAL
OF YOUR JOURNALISTS

TO ACCOMPANY US BACK
ABOARD OUR MOTHERSHIP

FOR THE FIRST
OF MANY OPPORTUNITIES
TO GET TO KNOW US BETTER.

HOT DAMN.

I WAS AFRAID
OF THIS.

[TV ANCHOR] THE TEAM,
SELECTED EARLIER BY LOT,

THAT WILL PROVIDE
POOL COVERAGE
FOR THE MEDIA--

IT'S DAD!

HE'S GOING UP THERE.
THEY SAID MIKE DONOVAN.

LOOK! THERE HE IS!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I WONDER IF THIS MEANS
I'LL GET MORE ALIMONY.

[TV ANCHOR]...OF THE UPI
AND WIDE WORLD'S
JERI TAYLOR.

YOU SEE THEM ALL PREPARING
FOR THIS MOST REMARKABLE...

YOU WORRIED FOR HIM?

SINCE THE MORNING
I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM.

[TV ANCHOR]
...THE FULL TEAM
NOW LEAVING THE PRESS AREA.

[DENNY]
WOULD I LIKE TO GET
INTO HIS SHIP.

I'D LIKE TO GET
INTO HIS DNA.

I WONDER IF THERE'S
ANY KIDS WITH THEM.

DON'T BE STUPID,
POLLY.

WHY IS THAT STUPID?

COME ON,
POLLY, COOL IT.

YOU DON'T EVEN
LIVE HERE.

MOMMY, CAN I HAVE
A SODA, PLEASE?

[TV ANCHOR]
THE SUPREME COMMANDER
OF THE VISITORS,

OR JOHN AS HE'S ASKED
WE CALL HIM,

JOHN IS SHAKING HANDS
WITH ALL THE JOURNALISTS.

YOU SEE THERE?
THEY'RE SHAKING HANDS.

MM-HMM.

IT'S GREAT.
HUH, FATHER?

[TV ANCHOR]
THEY'RE STARTING UP
INTO THE SHUTTLE.

NOW THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS MOVING UP

INSIDE THE CRAFT AGAIN

WITH JERI TAYLOR
AND SAM EGAN.

KRISTINE WALSH
IS SMILING...

IF THEY NEED
REFINERIES,

YOU OUGHT TO
TALK TO RICHLAND

AND PUT A BID IN
FOR YOUR PLANT.

- GUESS IT COULD BE QUITE…
- PRESTIGIOUS.

[TV ANCHOR]...NUMEROUS
EMMYS AND OTHER AWARDS
FOR THEIR WORK.

MIKE DONOVAN IS ABOUT
TO FOLLOW THE OTHERS

AND MOVE INSIDE
THE SPACECRAFT.

THEY'RE SHOOTING VIDEOTAPE
WE'RE MOST ANXIOUS TO SEE.

- GOOD LUCK.
- [TV ANCHOR]
...ARE CLOSING AGAIN NOW.

GOOD LUCK.

GOOD LUCK.

GOOD LUCK.

[TV ANCHOR]
NOW THE SHUTTLECRAFT
IS LIFTING OFF

FROM THE ROOF
OF THE UNITED NATIONS
BUILDING.

GOOD LUCK.

I LOVE YOU, DAD.

ANOTHER BOTTLE?

SURE.

HOW OFTEN
DO WE CELEBRATE

OUR COVERAGE
OF THE STORY
OF THE CENTURY?

KEEP IN MIND,
WE LUCKED INTO IT.

IT WASN'T LUCK.
I STACKED THE DECK
SO WE'D GET THE POOL.

COME ON.

I REALLY DID.
DID YOU PUT
THE TAPE IN?

YOU ALREADY SAW IT
ON THE NETWORK
WHEN IT AIRED.

WASN'T IT TERRIFIC,
EVERYONE'S REACTIONS?

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM.

ONE MORE TIME.

FOR THOSE OF US ACCUSTOMED

TO THE LIKES OF
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

OR DARTH VADER'S
FUTURISTIC STAR DESTROYER,

OUR FIRST GLIMPSES
INSIDE OF THE SPACECRAFT
OF THE VISITORS

WERE SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED...

KRIS, KRIS. TRY TO GET
A LITTLE IN THE GLASS.

[TV ANCHOR]
NO GREAT WALLS OF LIGHTS
OR OTHER THINGS

THAT SCIENCE FICTION BUFFS
WOULD TAKE IN STRIDE.

THE DOCKING BAY
LOOKED LIKE
THE HANGAR DECK

OF A BIG
AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

[KRISTINE]
JOHN TELLS US
THIS LANDING BAY

CAN HANDLE
THREE DOZEN SHUTTLECRAFT

AND THAT THERE ARE OVER
200 OTHER LANDING BAYS
LIKE THIS ONE

THROUGHOUT EACH
OF THE 50 GIGANTIC
MOTHERSHIPS.

[MIKE] JUST YOUR AVERAGE
INTERSTELLAR
WELCOME WAGON.

IT ALL SEEMS
A LITTLE EASY,
DOESN'T IT?

FAST FORWARD, MIKE.

YOUR LIFE IS ON
FAST FORWARD.

[KRISTINE] YOU HAVE
BOTH MALE AND FEMALE
IN YOUR CREW.

OF COURSE.
THIS IS DIANA,
SECOND IN COMMAND.

YOU GAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND
MORE CLOSE-UPS THAN ME.

- HELLO.
- HELLO.

DIANA'S IN CHARGE
OF THE SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS
OF OUR MISSION.

SHALL WE GO FORWARD
TO THE ENGINE ROOM?

[DIANA]
THIS IS WHAT YOU'D CALL
OUR ENGINE ROOM.

- [KRISTINE] THE YELLOW
DOORS WE PASSED?
- [DIANA] RESTRICTED AREAS.

A LOT OF RADIOACTIVITY.

OUR GRAVITY DRIVE
IS QUITE EFFECTIVE,

BUT TAKES UP
NEARLY HALF THE SHIP.

IT ENABLES US TO TRAVEL
AT GREAT VELOCITY,

APPROACHING
THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

[KRISTINE]
HOW LONG HAVE YOUR PEOPLE
HAD THIS TECHNOLOGY?

[DIANA]
ABOUT 100 YEARS.

YOU SEE?

- ANOTHER CLOSE-UP!
- WHOA! WHOA!

WHY DIDN'T IT WORK
FOR US BEFORE?

I'D LIKE TO TRY AGAIN.

[DIANA]
IT WILL BE CONTAINED
WITHIN CRYOGENICS.

[KRISTINE]
CRYOGENICS?

[DIANA]
SUPERCOOLED

FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
IN STORAGE.

YOU ALSO MENTIONED
LIVING QUARTERS
FOR THE CREW.

HOW MANYARE THERE
ON EACH SHIP?

IT VARIES.
SEVERAL THOUSAND.

CAN WE TALK
TO SOME OF THEM?

OF COURSE YOU CAN,
KRISTINE.

YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY
OF OPPORTUNITIES.

[BLOWING WHISTLE]

[PLAYING
STAR WARS THEME]

AREN'T YOU GLAD
YOU CALLED UP RICHLAND?

IF WE PLAY OUR CARDS RIGHT,
YOU'LL BE A SENIOR V.P. SOON.

[KRISTINE] IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS
SINCE OUR FIRST CONTACT
WITH THE VISITORS.

DID YOU SEE MIKE?

YES. HE SAID HELLO,
BUT WAS VERY BUSY.

I'M SURE HE IS.
THIS IS A BIG EVENT
TO COVER.

THIS REFINERY IN LOS ANGELES
WILL BE THE FIRST U.S. PLANT

TO OFFICIALLY BEGIN WORK
WITH THE VISITORS.

IT WILL MANUFACTURE
THEIR SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL

FOR TRANSPORT
BACK TO SIRIUS.

THE RAW MATERIALS WILL BE
OUR CITIES' REFUSE.

THE VISITOR TECHNICIANS
ARE EMERGING,

A SCENE THAT WILL BE
SOON REPEATED
SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES

IN CITIES
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S DIANA.

I DIDN'T THINK
THEY'D SEND SO MANY.

I THINK
THEY LOOK REAL SNAPPY
IN THOSE UNIFORMS.

- SHOOT.
- WHAT'S THE MATTER,
CALEB?

"WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
LOOK AT ALL THOSE GUYS.

FIRST WE HAD TO FIGHT
YOU HONKIES FOR A JOB,

THEN IT WAS
THE MEXICANS,
NOW THESE CREEPS.

THEY AIN'T EVEN
FROM THIS PLANET.

GEE, HOW MANY OF THEM
ARE THERE?

AND NOW A SECOND SHUTTLECRAFT
IS APPROACHING.

MIKE, HOW MANY OF THEM
ARE THERE?

[KRISTINE]
THEN THE GROUP
OF VISITOR TECHNICIANS

MOVED INSIDE
THE HUGE REFINERY,

BEGINNING TO FAMILIARIZE
THEMSELVES...

I THOUGHT
YOU HAD TO WORK.

I QUIT.

HOW COME?

THEIR REGISTER
WAS SHORT.

THEY BLAMED ME.

DAN, YOU CAN'T
KEEP QUITTING
ALL YOUR JOBS.

DAD, WOULD YOU JUST
GET OFF MY CASE?

[KRISTINE]
... WHO ARE
NATURALLY CURIOUS

ABOUT HIM
AND HIS FELLOW VISITORS.

MMM, THAT'S GOOD.

AFTER FIVE YEARS
OF ANATOMY,
IT BETTER BE.

I MEANT THE MARKET.
IT'S REALLY SURGING UP.

I THINK WE'VE GOT
GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

YES, KRISTINE,
MOST ALL THE PLANTS
WE'VE CHOSEN

ARE LOCATED
ON THE COASTLINES
OF YOUR WORLD

TO MAKE CONVENIENT
AND ECONOMIC USE
OF YOUR SEA WATER.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
A FASCINATING PARTY.

IT WAS OUR FIRST CLOSE
ENCOUNTER WITH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD E.T.s.

WASN'T ELEANOR
JUST IN HER GLORY?

[ROBERT]
WALLOWING, I'D SAY.

I AM PLEASED
SHE GRANTED US
THE AUDIENCE.

I FELT NERVOUS
WHEN I FIRST MET HIM.

DID YOU NOTICE
THAT HIS HAND
SEEMED VERY COOL?

SURE, I TRIED TO NOTICE
EVERYTHING I COULD.

LIKE WHAT?

[ROBERT]
TOTALLY AVOIDS
COOKED FOODS.

ONLYATE A FEW OF
THE RAW VEGETABLES.

OUTSIDE
WE WERE BEING EATEN
BY MOSQUITOES.

HE WAS NOT.

I SAW YOU
TRYING TO TALK TO HIM.

SURE. I LEARNED
A LITTLE.

THEY'RE MONOGAMOUS.

- OH?
- YEAH.

WELL, THE FEMALE
WITH HIM, BARBARA,

SHE SAID THAT, UH,
SHE ISN'T HIS WIFE.

SHE DIDN'T TALK MUCH,
SEEMED REAL SHY.

HE TOLD ME
THAT THEIR PLANET'S
MUCH LIKE EARTH.

HE SAID HE'S NO
ANTHROPOLOGIST,

BUT HE THOUGHT
THAT THEIR EVOLUTION
WAS SIMILAR TO OURS.

IT WAS HARD TO TALK
WITH ARTHUR
STROKING HIM.

[KATHLEEN] ARTHUR
COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE
TO HIS GOOD OLD WIFE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE
I NOTICED.
IT WAS REAL CURIOUS.

WHENEVER HE WALKED
PAST THE BIRD CAGE,

THEY WENT CRAZY.

THEY FLUTTERED LIKE MAD,
LIKE...

PANIC.

WELL, ANYWAY...

I THOUGHT STEVEN
WAS REALLY QUITE CHARMING.

OH, REALLY?

GOING TO RUN OFF
TO SIRIUS?

GET SERIOUS.

[HORN BLARING]

HEY! WATCH OUT
WHERE THE HELL
YOU'RE GOING.

OH. EXCUSE. UH...

- HELP, PLEASE.
- HELP WHAT?

I AM JUST.

JUST WHAT?

YES.

GET OUT OF THE WAY.
DAMN STUPID ALIEN!

[KRISTINE]
IN RESPONSE TO OVERWHELMING
QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS

BY YOUNG ADULTS
AROUND THE WORLD,

THE VISITORS'
SUPREME COMMANDER, JOHN,

HAS FORMED
THE VISITORS' FRIENDS.

THIS ORGANIZATION
IS OPEN TO ALL YOUNG ADULTS,

AGES 12 TO 20,

WHO ARE ANXIOUS TO GAIN
SPECIAL FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE

OF THE VISITORS,

TO RIDE IN SQUAD VEHICLES,

AND HAVE SPECIAL TOURS
OF THE MOTHERSHIPS.

VISITOR YOUTH LEADERS

WILL BE COMING
TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

OH, MY GOSH,
THERE HE IS.

HE IS THE SAME ONE
I SAW AT THE PLANT.

HE IS SUCH A FOX.

LOOKS LIKE A BOY
TO ME.

OH, MY GOSH,
HE'S LOOKING OVER HERE.

HE'S REALLY
SOMETHING SPECIAL.

JUST THINK
OF WHERE HE CAME FROM.

THINK OF IT.

HI THERE.

ARE YOU OK?

I AM JUST.

YEAH, WHAT?

JUST!

JUST...

JUST.

YES, JUST.

- JUST WHAT?
- HMPH!

DON'T LET IT
GET YOU SPAZZED.
I'LL HELP YOU OUT.

YES, HELP.

HELP TO GO...

TO THIS PLACE.

I'M JUST...

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO GO.

I'M JUST.

YOU'RE LOST.

LOST.

YES.

LOST.

ENGLISH…
NOT WELL TO ME.

LEARN ARABIC
FOR GOING THERE.

AND THEY SCREWED UP
AND SENT YOU TO L.A.?

YES...SCREWED.

L.A.'s NOT SO BAD.
IT BEATS FRESNO,
LET ME TELL YOU.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UH...WILLIAM.

HI. I'M HARMY.

THAT'S SHORT
FOR HARMONY.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

"CRYO…CRYOGENIC
TRANSFER UNIT."

WELL, COME ON, WILLY.
WE'LL GO FIND IT.

[STEVEN]
THE PRESSURE'S
STILL NOT BALANCED.

MUST BE THE INNER SEAL
THAT'S BAD. SOMEONE WILL
HAVE TO GO INSIDE.

EXCUSE ME.

IS THIS
THE CRYOGENIC
TRANSFER SECTION?

YES. WILLIAM,
WHERE WERE YOU?

UH, I WAS...LOST.

SEE YOU LATER.

[STEVEN]
GET UP THERE.

YOU'LL BE WORKING
WITH THAT MAN.

[KRISTINE] SO YOU'RE
PLEASED WITH THE
PROGRESS HERE, THEN?

[DIANA] IT'S REPRESENTATIVE
OF ALL THE OTHER PLANTS
AROUND THE WORLD.

SHORTLY WE'LL BEGIN
OUR SEMINARS
FOR YOUR SCIENTISTS.

SOMETHING ELSE
I'M PLEASE WITH,
TOO, KRISTINE.

IT'S YOU.

OF ALL THE JOURNALISTS
WE'VE MET,

MY PEOPLE SAY THEY FEEL
MOST COMFORTABLE
WITH YOU.

AND SO DO I.

WELL...

UH, THANK YOU, DIANA.

WE'VE DONE RESEARCH
THAT SHOWS YOUR PEOPLE
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

YOU HAVE?

YOU'RE TRUSTED,
RESPECTED,
AND ATTRACTIVE...

QUALITIES
WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL

IN OUR NEW OFFICIAL
SPOKESWOMAN.

[ROBERT]
NO, QUINTON ISN'T HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING IN
HIS "CURRENT" BOX.

I'M NOT SURE
WHAT HE WAS WORKING ON.

HE HASN'T BEEN HERE
ALL DAY, NOT AT ALL.

YES, I TRIED AT HOME.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.

WHAT?

IT IS?
YOU'RE SURE IT'S HIS CAR?

PRESS SECRETARY?

THEY SAID
I COULD CALL IT
WHAT I WANTED.

YOU LIKE
"SPOKESWOMAN"
BETTER?

I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND
OF EITHER ONE.

YOU'RE JEALOUS.

YOU KNOW I'M NOT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WANT
TO DO IT.

THEY WANT SOMEONE
THE PUBLIC TRUSTS.

AND I THINK IT'S
AN EXCELLENT
CAREER MOVE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR
OBJECTIVITY?

YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE SUCKING UP
TO THEM?

I'M NOT SUCKING UP
TO ANYBODY!

DON'T YOU SEE
IT'S THE PERFECT
OPPORTUNITY

TO GET
REALLY INSIDE STUFF?

EXCLUSIVE STUFF,
MATERIAL NO ONE ELSE
HAS ACCESS TO.

I'M SURE TO GET
A BOOK OUT OF IT.

I'M GOING TO STAY
OBJECTIVE.

AFTER ALL,
I'M ONE OF US,
NOT THEM.

ANY GOOD REPORTER
WOULD BE CRAZY
NOT TO JUMP AT THIS.

I'D LIKE TO THINK
I HAD YOUR BACKING
ON THIS, MIKE.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I RESPECT YOU...

MORE THAN THAT.

I THINK YOU BETTER
PUT THE STEAKS
BACK IN THE FREEZER.

WHAT?

OH, YEAH, TONIGHT'S A PROBLEM
'CAUSE DIANA WANTS TO MEET--

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

AAH!

[ALARM]

AAH! AAH!

CALEB!

LIQUID NITROGEN
BROKE THE INNER SEAL.

THERE'S NO WAY
YOU CAN GET DOWN THERE
AND GET TO HIM.

WILLIAM, STOP!

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

WILLIAM WENT IN THERE
AFTER CALEB.

IT'S 300 DEGREES
BELOW ZERO DOWN THERE.

THERE'S NO WAY
A HUMAN BEING COULD...

[MAN] OVER HERE!
BRING HIM OVER HERE!

WHERE ARE THE CULTURES,
RUTH?

THEY'RE NOT BACK
FROM PATHOLOGY.

THEY'RE RUNNING
WAY BEHIND.

I HEARD TWO KEY PEOPLE
DIDN'T SHOW UP TODAY.
DIDN'T EVEN CALL.

- [TELEPHONE BUZZES]
- THAT'S ODD.

DR. TAYLOR.

BEN, IT'S JULIE.
GET DOWN TO E.R.,
STAT.

THEY JUST BROUGHT IN
YOUR FATHER.

DANIEL IS NOT
TAKING CARE OF ANYTHING.

ABRAHAM, HE'S ONLY 17.
DON'T BE SO HARD ON HIM.

DANIEL HAS BEEN THIS WAY
FOR YEARS.

HE'S NO GOOD IN SCHOOL,

HE HAS HARDLY ANY FRIENDS.

WELL, MAYBE THIS
VISITOR FRIENDS GROUP

WILL BE JUST THE THING
HE NEEDS.

HE JUST HASN'T
FOUND HIS NICHE YET,
THAT'S ALL,

UNLIKE OTHERS
WE COULD MENTION.

SORRY I'M LATE.

YOU KEPT ME WAITING,
NAUGHTY BOY.

LITTLE PROBLEM
AT THE PLANT.

ARTHUR SAID
HE'D JOIN US IN A WHILE.

GOOD.

THAT'S THE SUPERVISOR'S
VEHICLE BELOW.

I UNDERSTAND
HE VISITS THERE A LOT.

SHE CAN BE CHARMING.

SO YOU GET TO VISIT
YOUR SON THIS AFTERNOON,
HUH?

YEAH.

WHERE DOES HE LIVE?

IN A SMALL TOWN
OUTSIDE OF L.A.

[HORN HONKS]

DAD!
HEY, DAD! DAD!

WHO ARE YOU TODAY,
HUH?

FERNANDO VALENZUELA

OR STEVE SAX?

JUST SEAN DONOVAN.

COME SEE WHAT
JOSH HAS GOT.

HOW MANY VISITORS
DOES IT TAKE
TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?

TELL ME.

NONE. THEY LIKE
THE LIGHTS OUT.

- HOW YOU DOING, JOSH?
- HI.

SEE, DAD?
CHECK IT OUT.

HE'S GOT
A SQUAD VEHICLE

AND THE ACTION FIGURE,
THE SUPREME COMMANDER,

- AND DIANA.
- [MIKE] OH.

HA...

WONDER IF THEY GET
A ROYALTY.

HE'S GOT A MOTHERSHIP.

I GOT THEM ALL.

[SEAN]
CAN I GET THEM, DAD?

MOM SAID WE DIDN'T
HAVE THE MONEY, BUT...

WELL, I'LL ASK HER
ABOUT IT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME...

[SEAN]
WHAT IS IT?

[MIKE] IT'S JUST
SOMETHING I PICKED UP
OFF A SQUAD VEHICLE.

[SEAN]
A REAL SQUAD VEHICLE?

IT CAME FROM THE VISITORS
THEMSELVES?

GUY, CHECK IT OUT.

LET ME SEE IT.

IN A MINUTE.

HEY, YOU GUYS,
YOUR PIZZA'S READY.

OKAY, MOM.
YOU COMING IN, DAD?

IN A SECOND.

LOOK, MOM.
IT'S FROM A SQUAD--

YOUR DINNER'S
GETTING COLD.

SO...

WHAT'S THE MATTER NOW?

NOTHING.
IT'S JUST
A LITTLE TOUGH

TRYING TO COMPETE
WITH SOMEONE WHO FLIES
AROUND IN SPACESHIPS.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,
GIVE UP MY JOB?

AND WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO...

SPROUT WINGS,

FLY HIM OFF
TO NEVER-NEVER LAND?

HOW ELSE
CAN I COMPETE...

WITH PIZZA?

WHY COMPETE?

WHY NOT DO SOMETHING
OF YOUR OWN?

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO YOUR COLLEGE PLANS--

PLEASE.

DON'T START, OKAY?

OHH.

YOU GOT A TISSUE SAMPLE
FROM A VISITOR'S SKIN?

HOW?

WHEN THEY BROUGHT
BEN'S FATHER
INTO EMERGENCY,

THERE WERE SOME
FLAKES OF SKIN
ON HIS SHIRT

FROM THE VISITOR
WHO SAVED HIM.

[LAUGHING]

THAT'S TERRIFIC.

DR. METZ
WILL BE DELIGHTED.

MAYBE.

GOODNIGHT, JULIE.

RUTH...

RUTH, WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S DR. METZ,
ISN'T IT?

YOU REALLY LOVE HIM,
DON'T YOU?

DOES HE KNOW?

I'M JUST A PIECE
OF LAB EQUIPMENT.

WELL…
STARTING TOMORROW,

WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO WORK ON HIM,

AND WE'LL
MAKE HIM SEE

THAT NOBEL'S NOT
THE ONLY PRIZE
HE'S GOT.

YOU DARLING.

- GOODNIGHT, JULIE.
- GOODNIGHT.

A LITTLE SHAKY, POP?

I'LL BE ALRIGHT.

JUST LET ME DO IT
BY MYSELF.

YOU GOT IT.

HEY, MY MAN BEN.
WHAT IT IS?

"WHAT IT IS?"

[LAUGHING]

IT'S BAD GRAMMAR,
MY BROTHER.

ELIAS, WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP

THIS POOR MAN'S
RICHARD PRYOR ACT?

WHAT YOU TALKIN', MAN?

BROTHER,
THIS AIN'T NO ACT.

THIS HERE
IS PURE-D ELIAS.

WELL, IT'S PURE-D
SOMETHING.

LOOK, MAN, WE
CAN'T ALL OF US
BE DR. KILDARE.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN…
UNCLE TOM?

COME ON, THAT UNCLE TOM STUFF
DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING
THAT YOU WANT TO BE,

BUT FIRST YOU GOTTA
GET RID OF
THIS TAP DANCE

AND THIS
TWO-BIT CROOK ROUTINE

AND START TO GROW UP.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH, OKAY.
WELL, ONCE AGAIN
WE THANK YOU...

MR. SIDNEY POITIER.

THANK YOU.

YO, POP,
HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

[ROBIN]
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS--

THE VISITOR YOUTH LEADER.

YOU SAW HIM?
ISN'T HE A HUNK?

I KNOW. I BROUGHT
THE PHONE OUTSIDE

SO I COULD
WATCH FOR HIM.

OH, WOULDN'T YOU
JUST DIE?

I KNOW AND DID YOU
SEE HIS EYES?

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

SURE, I SAW THEM.

HE LOOKED AT ME
QUITE A WHILE
THE OTHER DAY.

I MEAN, NOT JUST LOOKING,
BUT REAL MEANINGFULLY,
YOU KNOW,

LIKE TWO SHIPS
PASSING IN THE NIGHT,

LIKE REALLY ROMANTIC.

I THINK HE
KIND OF LIKES ME,

- BUT HE'S JUST SHY.
- EXCUSE ME.

MY LIFE IS OVER.

- DID I STARTLE YOU?
- UH, NO. NO.

- I'M BRIAN.
- RIGHT.

UH, ROBIN.

- HI.
- HI.

AHEM. I'M SORRY.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

YOU ARE.
YOU ARE?

YEAH. IT'S NOT
EVERY DAY

I MEET SOMEBODY
FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

I NEVER
THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE.

IT MUST BE
JUST AS WEIRD FOR YOU--

NOT THAT YOU'RE WEIRD
OR ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN--

WHICH IS DANIEL'S HOME?

UH, IT'S THE ONE
OVER THERE ON...

ON THE RIGHT.

- THANKS.
- SURE.

[WHISPERING]
Oh, God.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TAKE A WALK?

UM...OKAY.

- MAY I SEE THAT?
- SURE.

HEY, HERO!

WILLY!

HELLO, HARMONY.

EVERYBODY'S RAVING
ABOUT THE WAY
YOU RESCUED CALEB.

THEY SAID YOUR FACE
WAS BLISTERED.
YOU LOOK OKAY TO ME.

YOU WANT A BURGER?

NO.

DON'T YOU GUYS
EVER EAT?

SOMETIMES.

YOU GO TO MOVIES?

NO,

I DO NOT...YET.

WELL?
HMM?

[SIGH]

AH.

YOU ARE FUN?

WHAT?

FEELING BETTER--

FEELING FUN.

FINE.

FINE, YES.

- FINE?
- EH, I'M OKAY.

YEAH.

LOOK, UH...

- WILLIAM.
- WILLIAM, LOOK,

I'M SORRY I CALLED YOU
A STUPID ALIEN.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

HERE.

HUH?

THE WORLD
WAS SHOCKED TODAY

WHEN NOBEL PRIZE WINNER
DR. MORRIS JANKOWSKI

OF THE BRUSSELS BIOMEDICAL
INSTITUTE IN BELGIUM

HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE
TO REVEAL THE EXISTENCE

OF AN INTERNATIONAL
CONSPIRACY

AGAINST THE VISITORS.

IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION

WHEN DR. RUDOLPH METZ
IN CALIFORNIA

ASKED TO SPEAK WITH ME
ON WHAT HE CALLED

"URGENT,
CONFIDENTIAL MATTERS."

OTHER COLLEAGUES OF MINE

ARE ALSO BEING APPROACHED
BY SCIENTISTS--

PRIMARILY BIOMEDICAL
AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL
SCIENTISTS--

FROM MANY NATIONS
WHO APPARENTLY ARE PART OF
THIS INSIDIOUS CONSPIRACY.

[REPORTER]
WHAT ARE THEIR PLANS?

THEIR PLANS, QUITE SIMPLY,

ARE TO SEIZE CONTROL
OF SEVERAL MOTHERSHIPS

BELONGING
TO THE VISITORS.

BUT WHY?

THEY TRIED HARD
TO CONVINCE ME

THIS WAS TO PROTECT
THE HUMAN RACE,

OR TO KEEP SUCH POWERS
FROM THE MILITARY
ON OUR PLANET.

I DO BELIEVE, HOWEVER,

THAT THEIR MOTIVATION
IS, BY FAR, MORE PERSONAL.

[TV ANCHOR]
THEN JANKOWSKI
SIGNED HIS STATEMENT,

LISTING THOSE HE CLAIMS
TRIED TO BRING HIM
INTO THIS CONSPIRACY.

WHEN WORD BEGAN TO SPREAD
OF THE JANKOWSKI STATEMENT,

THE INTERNATIONAL SCOPE
REVEALED ITSELF,

AS SCORES OF SCIENTISTS
AROUND THE WORLD

CAME FORWARD TO ADMIT
THEY HAD BEEN APPROACHED,

OR ACTUALLY CONFESSED

THAT THEY WERE PART
OF THE CONSPIRACY.

SEEN HERE
IS DR. JACQUES DUVIVIER,

ALSO A NOBEL LAUREATE,
PHYSICIAN,

AND LEADING BIOCHEMIST
IN FRANCE...

DAMN SCIENTISTS.

WHO WAS DETAINED
BY THE SURET É

AND HAS CONFESSED
TO HIS INVOLVEMENT,

NAMING OTHER SCIENTISTS
AS HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS.

IT'S A LIE,
A VICIOUS LIE.

YOU DON'T NEED A WARRANT.

SEARCH MY FILES.

THERE'S NOTHING.

YOU'LL FIND NOTHING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I NEVER SAW THAT.

NO.

IT'S NOT TRUE.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS GOT THERE.

IT'S A LIE,
I TELL YOU.

AND MANY OTHER
SCIENTISTS...

QUINTON'S STILL MISSING?

AND A HALF-DOZEN
OTHERS.

THE POLICE
DON'T HAVE A CLUE
WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THEY HAVE
SIMPLY VANISHED,

WHICH, SOME THINK,
LENDS CREDENCE

TO THE CHARGES
BROUGHT AGAINST THEM.

KRISTINE WALSH,

PRESS SECRETARY FOR VISITOR
SUPREME COMMANDER, JOHN,

HAD THIS TO SAY.

THE VISITORS WERE SHOCKED
TO LEARN OF THIS CONSPIRACY

AND FEARFUL OF THE CHAOS
WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RESULT.

NOT ONLY WOULD
THEIR OWN NEEDS
BE IMPAIRED,

BUT ALL THE BENEFITS
THEY PLAN TO SHARE WITH US
COULD BE ENDANGERED.

SCIENTIFIC SEMINARS
PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK
WILL BE POSTPONED.

AND BECAUSE
IT'S STILL TOO EARLY

TO DETERMINE HOW MANY
SCIENTISTS ARE INVOLVED,

THE U.N. HAS AGREED
TO VISITOR REQUESTS

THAT ALL SCIENTISTS
AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS

MUST REGISTER
THEIR WHEREABOUTS
WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

COMPUTERS WILL BE USED

TO VERIFY
THEIR REGISTRATION.

DON'T GET SO WOUND UP.

NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN
TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY.

THEY'RE NOT DOCTORS
OR BIOLOGISTS

OR EVEN SCIENTISTS.
YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED.

ANYWAY, IT'S GOING TO PASS.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID
IN 1938

BACK IN BERLIN.

BUT THIS
IS DIFFERENT.

IS IT?

THE SUPREME COMMANDER
WANTS TO MAKE IT CLEAR

THAT WHILE HE'S SURE
ALL SCIENTISTS ALL OVER

AREN'T PART
OF THE CONSPIRACY,

IT'S DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN
WHICH OF THEM MAY NOT BE.

[TV ANCHOR] WHILE POLICE HAVE
SCOURED SCIENTIFIC FILES

FOR FACTS
ON THE CONSPIRACY,

STARTLING EVIDENCE
IS BEING FOUND

THAT MANY SCIENTISTS HAVE
ACTUALLY HAD MAJOR
BREAKTHROUGHS IN RESEARCH

WHICH THEY'VE SUPPRESSED.

SENATE MEDICAL AFFAIRS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
RAYMOND BURKE

HAD THIS TO SAY.

YES, INDEED,
I DO HAVE EVIDENCE

THAT REVOLUTIONARY
CANCER TREATMENTS DO EXIST

AND HAVE EXISTED
FOR SOME TIME,

ALONG WITH
MANY OTHER BREAKTHROUGHS

WHICH APPARENTLY
OUR SCIENTIFIC FRIENDS
KEPT QUIET ABOUT

AND HAVEN'T SHARED WITH US.

[REPORTER]
WHY WOULD
THEY DO THAT?

I WON'T SPECULATE
EXCEPT TO SAY

THERE'S A LOT
OF MONEY TO BE MADE
IN RESEARCH GRANTS.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE,

BUT DR. METZ
IS REALLY HURTING.

RUTH HAS COMPLETELY
DISAPPEARED.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

THEY CALLED
TO CANCEL DINNER.

OH, HONEY, YOU MUST
BE REALLY DISAP--

POINTED.

YEAH.

YOU THINK
YOU'LL STILL GET
THEIR ACCOUNT?

I DON'T THINK SO.

THEY WERE...

TOO POLITE,
YOU KNOW?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HOW CAN THEY
TREAT YOU LIKE THAT?

DENNY...

DO YOU THINK
IT'S ME?

THEY KNOW THAT
I'M A BIOCHEMIST

AND A MED STUDENT.

NO. HOW COULD
IT BE YOU?

WELL, YOU, UH...

SEEM A LITTLE
TOO POLITE.

YEAH. I SAW
THIS BEFORE. SO?

SOMETHING STRUCK ME FUNNY
WHEN I SAW THIS YESTERDAY,

BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
ALL NIGHT I'M TRYING TO SLEEP
THEN SUDDENLY IT HITS ME.

NOW LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S A TAPE WE SHOT OF HIM
AT THE SCIENCE FAIR
LAST YEAR.

REMEMBER I HAD HIM
AUTOGRAPH THAT BOOK?

YEAH.

[TONY]
DON'T YOU SEE, MIKE?

HE USED
HIS RIGHT HAND.

AND YESTERDAY…
HE USED HIS LEFT HAND.
SO HE'S AMBIDEXTROUS?

NO. NO, HE'S NOT,

AND NEITHER
IS DUVIVIER.

I CHECKED.

NO, MIKE.

UNTIL THIS WEEK,
THEY WERE BOTH
RIGHT-HANDED.

SOMETHING VERY STRANGE
IS GOING ON HERE.

[ROBIN]
COME ON.

[EXPLOSION SOUND EFFECT]

I'M NOT
VERY GOOD AT THIS.

[CHUCKLING]

[ROBIN] BRIAN... WHAT'S IT
LIKE OUT THERE?

[BRIAN]
IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

VERY PEACEFUL.

WHICH ONE'S YOURS?

UM...

RIGHT THERE.
IT'S THE BRIGHTEST.

IT'S IN A CONSTELLATION
YOU CALL CANIS MAJOR.

IT MUST BE STRANGE
TO BE SO FAR AWAY
FROM HOME.

YEAH, IT IS.

BUT NEW FRIENDS
MAKE IT EASIER.

I'M GLAD.

HI, ROBIN.

- DANIEL.
- DANNY.

HOW'S YOUR FATHER?

HE'S FINE.

YOU KNOW, UH...

IT MUST BE
PRETTY TOUGH NOWADAYS,
BEING A SCIENTIST,

ESPECIALLY
AN ANTHROPOLOGIST.

YEAH.

- HI, DANIEL.
- HI. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.
HER FATHER'S
AN ANTHROPOLOGIST, HUH?

- YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
- NO. I HAD NO IDEA.

YEAH.

LOOK, MIKE, WOULDN'T IT BE
A GOOD IDEA TO JUST TAKE
THE SQUAD VEHICLE?

[MIKE] THIS WAY, THEY WON'T
KNOW WE'RE ON BOARD.
WE'VE A BETTER CHANCE

OF FINDING OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.

OKAY.

THEY GOT THE CHEMICAL
LOADED ON BOARD.

GET READY.

NOW.

UHH!

AGH!

MIKE.

COME ON. I CAN'T COME OUT.

I CAN'T GET
MY FOOT UP.

COME ON.
I GOT YOU.

COME ON.

DAMN.

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
TANKER UNIT 14,

STAND BY
FOR VENTING OPERATION.

TANKER UNIT 14,

STAND BY
FOR VENTING OPERATION.

READY?

OPEN THE FLOW.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME--

BRINGING ALL
THESE CHEMICALS UP HERE
AND DUMPING THEM OUT.

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
TANKER ARRIVAL SCHEDULE
IS AS FOLLOWS--

FROM LOS ANGELES,
AT 2100 HOURS.

FROM SANTA BARBARA,
AT 2114 AND 2142 HOURS.

FROM SAN DIEGO AT 2150,
2200, AND 2215 HOURS.

ALL TANKER UNITS
CHECK WITH THE READY ROOM

FOR LATE CHANGES
IN ASSIGNMENTS.

ALL TANKER UNITS
CHECK WITH THE READY ROOM

FOR LATE CHANGES
IN ASSIGNMENTS.

[STEVEN] EVERY CONTINENT
WILL SOON BE UNDER
OUR COMPLETE DOMINATION.

YOU MUST BE PLEASED.

[DIANA]
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

THAT IT PLEASES ME
TO SERVE OUR LEADER

WITH WHATEVER
MINOR TALENTS I POSSESS.

JOHN SAID
OUR LEADER'S PLEASED

WITH YOUR
CONVERSION PROCESS.

YES, BUT YOU KNOW
HOW IMPATIENT
OUR LEADER IS.

[STEVEN]
EVEN WITH YOU?

I THOUGHT THAT,

GIVEN THE INTIMACY

OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM,

HE MIGHT...

BE VERY CAREFUL,
STEVEN.

[STEVEN]
I JUST HATE TO SEE HIM
MAKE YOU SO DISTRESSED.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT MY CONVERSION PROCESS
IS STILL LIMITED.

IT DOESN'T WORK THE SAME
ON EVERY HUMAN SUBJECT.

NO. BUT WHEN IT DOES WORK,
AS WITH DUVIVIER
AND JANKOWSKI,

IT'S REMARKABLE.

YES, IT IS.

THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE
A CONSPIRACY EXISTS,

OR EVEN THAT
THEY'RE PART OF IT.

[DIANA]
THE EVIDENCE WE PLANTED

REINFORCES
THEIR BELIEFS.

THE OPERATION
IS WORKING PERFECTLY.

SCIENTISTS
ARE BEING OSTRACIZED,

DISORGANIZED
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

[DIANA]
THE PROBLEM IS,
OUR LEADER THEN SAYS

"WHY NOT CONVERT
THEM ALL."

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT THE HUMAN WILL

IS MUCH TOUGHER
THAN WE BARGAINED FOR.

TO CONVERT THEM ALL
WOULD TAKE FOREVER.

HOWEVER, WE WILL CONTINUE
TO REFINE THE PROCESS.

YES. I'M SURE YOU WILL,
SUCCESSFULLY.

WE MUST FIND THE MOST
EFFECTIVE METHODS

TO BE USED
AGAINST THEM.

[STEVEN]
OUR LEADER COULDN'T
HAVE CHOSEN ANYONE

WHO COULD DO A BETTER JOB
THAN YOU.

PARTICULARLY GIVEN
THE SUCCESS

OF YOUR PREVIOUS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[DIANA]
WELL, THE LONGER
WE CAN KEEP

THE PUBLIC'S
CONFIDENCE...

[GROWLING]

[ALARM SOUNDS]

I'M TIRED
OF ALL THESE DRILLS.

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
EMERGENCY SITUATION
ON LEVEL 73.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

EMERGENCY SITUATION
ON LEVEL 73.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

OKAY, EVERYBODY, LET'S GO.
WE GOT A HOT ONE.

ALL THREE CAMERAS.

HELLO, NEW YORK?
OKAY, LISTEN UP.

WE'RE GOING TO DO
AN INTERRUPT.

ALERT ALL THE AFFILIATES--
FULL NETWORK.

YES, DAMN RIGHT.

MIKE DONOVAN'S
GOT A TAPE TO KNOCK
OUR SOCKS OFF.

WE'RE FEEDING BARS AND TONE
RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW,
IT'S LEAVING HERE.

CHECK PATCHING.

STAND BY THAT TAPE.

WE'RE READY.

WHY WOULD THEY
TAKE THAT CHEMICAL
TO THE MOTHERSHIP

AND JUST DUMP IT
INTO THE AIR?

HERE THEY COME.

GET DOUBLE MIKES
ON THEM RIGHT NOW.

I'LL DO THE SETUP,
INTRO YOU,

AND WE'LL ROLL THE TAPE.
YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOU SAW.

WE'VE GOT 30 SECONDS.
GIVE ME LIGHTS NOW.

COMING UP.

CAMERA ONE,
I'LL START WITH TWO.

YOU OKAY, MIKE?

10 SECONDS.

QUIET ON THE LINE!

LET'S GET A DOCTOR
ON STANDBY FOR MIKE.

5 SECONDS,
4...3...2...1.

NEW YORK,
TAKE YOUR SLIDE.

AND CUE ANNOUNCE.

[ANNOUNCER] THE FOLLOWING
IS A SPECIAL REPORT
FROM LOS ANGELES.

TAKE TWO.
CUE CLETE.

AN ASTONISHING
OCCURRENCE

JUST TOOK PLACE ABOARD
THE MOTHERSHIP JUST OFF--

[STATIC]

WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED?

HOLD ON!
PROBLEM ON THE LINE.

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?

THEY WHAT?

- WE'VE LOST MA BELL.
- WE'VE WHAT?

SOMEBODY'S PULLED AT&T
OUT FROM UNDER US.

THEY PULLED THE PLUG.

THE WHOLE DAMN NETWORK'S
OFF THE AIR.

SO ARE BOTH
THE OTHERS.

[ASSISTANT DIRECTOR]
WHAT'S THAT, BERT?

HELLO?
HELLO?

AND NOW
I'VE LOST NEW YORK.

[WOMAN]
NO, I CANNOT PATCH.

HERE'S SOMETHING.

THIS IS KRISTINE WALSH.

THE VISITORS'
SUPREME COMMANDER,

JOHN, IS HERE TO MAKE
A STATEMENT.

MY FRIENDS
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,

FIRST, I MUST THANK

THE LEADERS OF EACH
OF YOUR COUNTRIES

WHO HAVE,
IN THE INTERESTS OF PEACE,

TURNED OVER ALL THEIR
BROADCASTING FACILITIES
TO US IN THIS CRISIS.

I'M SAD TO SAY THERE'S BEEN
A CAREFULLY COORDINATED

AND VIOLENT ATTEMPT
BY THE CONSPIRACY
OF SCIENTISTS

TO COMMANDEER CONTROL
OF OUR FACILITIES

AT KEY LOCATIONS
AROUND THE WORLD.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THIS IS DUPRE.

- HAVE WE BEEN HIT?
- TOKYO AND CAIRO...

OH, THANK GOODNESS.
DAMN SCIENTISTS.

[JOHN] AT LEAST
TWO DOZEN OTHER PLACES

SUFFERED
SIMILAR ASSAULTS.

THE LOSS OF LIFE
HAS BEEN ENORMOUS.

I DON'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.

BELIEVE IT.

[JOHN] THOUSANDS
HAVE BEEN WOUNDED,

AND WE'RE FEARFUL
THERE WILL BE MORE ATTACKS.

I'M GOING
TO THE HOSPITAL.

[JOHN] THE OUTBREAK IS SO
WIDESPREAD AND SO DANGEROUS

THAT MOST CIVILIAN MEMBERS
OF YOUR GOVERNMENTS

HAVE ASKED US
FOR PROTECTION,

WHICH WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO PROVIDE.

THEY'RE SAFE
ABOARD OUR SHIPS.

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF THEM.

I'M ALSO VERY SORRY
TO REPORT THIS MAN,

IN WHOM WE HAD PLACED
CONSIDERABLE TRUST,

MICHAEL DONOVAN
OF THE UNITED STATES,

PROVED TO BE
THE BIGGEST TRAITOR--

NO!

IT ISN'T TRUE!

[JOHN] HE'S CONSIDERED
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

WHERE'S MY TAPE?

THEY'RE SETTING UP
TO COPY IT RIGHT NOW.

MAN, WE'RE
IN BIG TROUBLE.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

GET GOING.
MIKE! MIKE, YOUR TAPE!

YOUR NATIONAL LEADERS
HAVE SUGGESTED

THAT A STATE
OF MARTIAL LAW

WILL BE MOST HELPFUL
AT THIS TIME.

AND WE AGREE.
POLICE AT LOCAL LEVELS

WILL WORK WITH OUR
VISITOR PATROLS.

WE WILL ALSO ASK THE HELP

OF ALL OUR VISITOR
FRIENDS UNITS EVERYWHERE.

WE ANTICIPATE THIS CRISIS

WILL PASS
RELATIVELY QUICKLY.

IN THE MEANTIME, FRIENDS,

I AND MY FELLOW VISITORS
WILL DO OUR BEST
TO SEE YOU THROUGH IT

AND MAINTAIN CONTROL.

THERE WILL BE MORE
ANNOUNCEMENTS LATER.

GOT TO GO.

IT'LL PASS.

YOU HEARD
WHAT HE SAID.
RIGHT, DAD?

[KRISTINE]
EVERYWHERE AROUND
THE NATION AND THE WORLD,

VISITORS ARE KEEPING ORDER
AND MAKING FRIENDS.

POLICE AND MILITARY FORCES
IN EACH COUNTRY

ARE COOPERATING FULLY.

THE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
STILL EXITS, HOWEVER,

FROM THE GROUP
OF TERRORISTS

WHO BROUGHT ABOUT
THE NEED FOR MARTIAL LAW
BY THEIR ASSAULTS.

THESE ATTACKS
BY SCIENTIST CONSPIRATORS

ARE STILL CONTINUING
SPORADICALLY AND VIOLENTLY

AROUND THE WORLD.

IN BUENOS AIRES
LAST NIGHT...

WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY
NOT TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN
AT OUR PLANT.

[KRISTINE]
SEVERAL CRYOGENIC
STORAGE TANKS

CONTAINING THE SYNTHETIC
CHEMICAL WERE DAMAGED,

BUT HEROIC EFFORTS
BY THE VISITOR TECHNICIANS

SAVED THEM AND THE LIVES
OF 15 WORKERS.

HOW COULD
THEY BE FAKING
ALL THESE SCENES?

THE MOVIES DO IT
ALL THE TIME.

[KRISTINE]
CURFEW AT 8:00 EACH EVENING
STILL MUST BE MAINTAINED.

IT'S UNFAIR.

I WANNA GO OUT
SOME NIGHTS.

WHY? DANIEL
COMES BY HERE.

IT ISN'T DANIEL
I WANT TO SEE.

- WHO, ROBIN?
- NEVER MIND.

[KRISTINE]
REMINDED OF THE NEED
TO STAY IN THEIR LOCALE.

[CLICK]

[MIKE]
OF COURSE THE MILITARY
ARE COOPERATING FULLY.

THEY'RE ALL UNDER
HOUSE ARREST.

MRS. MAXWELL.

HELLO, SANCHO.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I CAN'T WORK FOR YOU
NO MORE.

WHY NOT?

IT'S...

WELL, TELL ME.

IT'S THE OTHER PEOPLE
I WORK FOR.

THEY KNOW I WORK FOR YOU.
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

WHY SHOULD
THE OTHER PEOPLE...

BECAUSE MY HUSBAND
IS A SCIENTIST?

THEY SAY I COULD EITHER
WORK FOR THEM OR FOR YOU.

MY FAMILY, THEY--

THAT'S OKAY.

NEVER MIND.
I UNDERSTAND.

POLLY, ARE YOU HURT?

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- I GOT IN A FIGHT.

A BUNCH OF JERKOS BEAT UP ON ME
BECAUSE MY PROJECT
WON THE SCIENCE FAIR.

THEY WRECKED IT,
SAID I WAS JUST A DIRTY
LITTLE SCIENTIST'S KID.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THEM
WHEN I GOT THROUGH.

HOW MANY WERE THERE?

FOUR.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TEACHERS,
DIDN'T THEY SEE?

ONE DID, BUT HE JUST
WALKED THE OTHER WAY.

I GUESS I BETTER
FIX MY BIKE.

THANKS, MR. BERNSTEIN.

ARE YOU GOING
TO MANHATTAN
TO YOUR FOLKS?

NO. I--I CAN'T GET
THROUGH TO THEM.

IT'S BETTER IF YOU
DON'T KNOW ANYWAY.

I'LL, UH...

I'LL GET
THE REST LATER.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE
OVERREACTING SLIGHTLY?

NO. I DON'T WANT YOU
LOSING MORE ACCOUNTS
BECAUSE OF ME.

- [DENNY] LOOK, WE
DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- NO, WE DON'T!

AND THAT'S
THE REALLY NASTY PART.

THEY'RE ALWAYS
SO POLITE,

BUT WE KNOW, DON'T WE?

ANYWAY, UH...

ANOTHER BIOCHEMIST,
PHYLLIS, REMEMBER HER?

WELL, UH...

SHE DIDN'T
SHOW TODAY,

AND NOBODY'S
HEARD FROM HER.

JUST LIKE RUTH
AND ALL THE OTHERS.

[DENNY] MAYBE SHE
JUST WENT AWAY.

JUST LIKE THIS.

MAYBE SHE WAS TAKEN.

THERE'S NO TRUTH
TO THOSE RUMORS.

SHALL I STAY THEN?

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO
WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.

SEE YOU, DENNY.

AAH!

OH, ROBERT!

OH!

[SHOUTING]

[WHOOPING AND SHOUTING]

AND THERE WERE
EVEN FEWER INCIDENTS
OF VIOLENCE TODAY.

IT SEEMS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE

ARE STARTING TO REPORT IN
TO AUTHORITIES

WHEN THEY SUSPECT SOMEONE
MIGHT BE INVOLVED
WITH A CONSPIRACY.

THIS EARLY WARNING
WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES.

THE SUPREME COMMANDER
URGES YOU--

I'M SO TIRED OF HER FACE
AND ONLY HEARING
ONE SIDE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

WELL, THE TRUTH
IS THE TRUTH.

THEN WHY NOT LET
SOME OTHERS SAY IT?

DON'T YOU THINK
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH?

NO.

I DO.

COME ON, STANLEY.

THERE'S THE NEWSPAPER,
TOO, YOU KNOW.

YEAH, AND IT SAYS
EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAYS.

SOMETIMES
IT'S WORD FOR WORD.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
IT'S EVERYTHING.

LOOK AT THESE BILLS.
THE PRICE IS UP
ON EVERYTHING.

TRY TO MAKE A DAMN
LONG DISTANCE CALL.
YOU NEED A SPECIAL PERMIT.

MOST TIMES
YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH.

[LYNN] YOU ALWAYS SAID
THIS WOULD PASS.

IT HAD BETTER HURRY UP
BEFORE WE SINK.

I WANT THINGS BACK
THE WAY THEY WERE.

WHERE'S DANIEL?

NOT LOOKING
FOR A JOB, I'M SURE.

STANLEY.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE
MORE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

- WHAT, IN MY OWN HOUSE?
- BUT HE LIVES HERE.

YOU KNOW HOW
TOTALLY INVOLVED
HE IS WITH THEM.

ALRIGHT. I KNOW THAT.
BUT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE--

I HAVE HEARD STORIES--

RUMORS.

STORIES ABOUT HOW
SOME MEMBER OF HIS GROUP

HAD ACTUALLY--

WHAT--INFORMED?

ON HIS OWN PARENTS.

AND THEY DISAPPEARED.

WELL, LYNN, I HARDLY THINK
THAT DAN--

WELL, I HARDLY
THINK SO, TOO, BUT...

I MEAN, WHAT'S
TO INFORM ON?

WE'RE NOT SCIENTISTS.
IT'S NOT LIKE
I SAID ANYTHING.

BUT YOU WERE
VERY CRITICAL

OF HER AND OF THEM,
OF THE NEWSPAPERS,
EVERYTHING.

[WHISPERING]
Of him.

HE SHOULDN'T DRINK
THAT MUCH.

BUT THAT'S NOT
ALL YOU SAID.

ALL I SAID WAS
I WAS TIRED OF HEARING...

ONE SIDE
OF THE NEWS--THEIR SIDE.

WELL...

I MEANT...

HEARING ONLY
ONE OPINION.

NO, NOT THAT.

I MEANT...

YOU DON'T REALLY THINK
HE'D CALL THEM, DO YOU?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN,
DANIEL?

JUST IN THE BATHROOM.

[WHISPERING]
You think he's lying?

I DON'T WANNA GO
TO THE MOUNTAINS.

I HATE OUR PLACE
THERE.

- PLEASE, DAD?
- GET IN THE CAR.

ROBIN, TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
TOO MANY THINGS
ARE HAPPENING.

A SCIENTIST YOUR FATHER
WORKS WITH

WAS ARRESTED
FOR CONSPIRACY.

POLLY GOT BEATEN UP
AT SCHOOL.

QUINTON IS STILL MISSING.

WHY DON'T WE
STAY AND FIGHT?

IT'S NOT THAT EASY, POL.

OH, GOD.
DADDY IS NO CONSPIRATOR.

NEITHER WERE THEY!

GET IN THE CAR.

ALL MY FRIENDS
ARE HERE.

ESPECIALLY ONES
IN UNIFORM.

SHUT UP, POLLY.

PLEASE. I CAN STAY
WITH KAREN AND HER FAMILY.

RIGHT NOW, ROBIN.
PLEASE.

[STARTS ENGINE]

IT'S ALRIGHT.

I THINK.

ALRIGHT. LOOK,
WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING--

TOTALITARIAN SUPPRESSION
OF THE TRUTH.

NOT ONLY ON TELEVISION,

BUT THEY'VE GOT
THE PAPERS, TOO.

WE'RE UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

AND PARANOIA.

EVERYONE I KNOW,
ESPECIALLY SCIENTISTS,

ARE GETTING
SCARED TO DEATH.

OR DISAPPEARING.

LIKE MY PARTNER
OR ANY OTHER COP

WHO REFUSED TO GO ALONG
WITH THE VISITORS

WHEN THEY REQUESTED WE
HELP THEM MAINTAIN ORDER.

YESTERDAY THEY TOOK
ANOTHER DOCTOR
AND HIS FAMILY

FROM MY BUILDING.

WHY ARE THEY SO ANXIOUS TO
ARREST SO MANY SCIENTISTS?

[JULIET] THEY MUST THINK
WE'RE A THREAT,

THAT WE MIGHT FIND
A WAY TO STOP THEM.

THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP THEM.
THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM.

NO. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY.

THERE IS.

WELL, WE ORGANIZE.

LOOK, ANY COMPLEX STRUCTURE,
LIKE OUR BODIES,
FOR EXAMPLE,

STARTS
WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS.

THE CELLS WILL REPRODUCE,
EXPAND THEMSELVES,

AND JOIN WITH OTHERS.

THAT'S LOVELY
IN BIOLOGY, BUT--

LISTEN, BRAD!

I--I'M SORRY.

I KNOW THAT
WE'RE EMBRYONIC.

THERE'S ONLY
A HANDFUL OF US.

BUT YOU CAN BE SURE,
WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES
HUDDLED IN THE DARK.

I KNOW THERE ARE
OTHERS LIKE US,

ACROSS AMERICA,
AROUND THE WORLD.

WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES
WHO WANT TO FIGHT THIS.

SHE'S RIGHT.

[JULIET]
WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO

IS FIND THE OTHERS
WHO FEEL LIKE WE DO.

THEN WE ALL LOOK
FOR MORE AND MORE.

WE NEED EQUIPMENT
FOR A LAB,

COMMUNICATION,
ALL OF THAT.

- AND A HEADQUARTERS.
- [JULIET] YEAH.

WE SHOULD FIND OUT
WHO'S CLOSEST TO
THE VISITORS

AND GET THEM
ON OUR SIDE.

LIKE THAT KRISTINE…

WALSH! YES.

SHE'S SURELY
ON THE INSIDE.

MAYBE TOO MUCH
ON THE INSIDE.

ONE OF US
SHOULD CONTACT HER.

- [MAN] YES.
- YES.

I'LL FIND HER

AND IF WE CAN TRUST HER.

LET'S MEET HERE
THURSDAY NIGHT.

- FINE.
- SOUNDS GOOD.

EVERYBODY HAS TO BRING
AT LEAST FOUR OTHERS.

HOW ABOUT THAT?
AGREED?

- AGREED.
- AGREED.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

IS THAT YOU,
UNCLE PEDRO?

UNCLE PEDRO?

IT IS YOU.
BUENOS NOCHES.

TONY, CUT THE--

WE'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE
WITH THE PHONE. UNDERSTAND?

TROUBLE WITH THE PHONE.

THEN YOU MUST BE
ALL TAPPED OUT.

YOU GOT IT, UNCLE.

THE REPAIRMEN EVEN CAME
TO CHECK THINGS OUT.
A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

SMELLED YOUR COOKING.

WOULD THEY LIKE
YOUR BURRITO.

YEAH,
I'M SURE THEY WOULD.

[TONY] YEAH, BUT I LIKE
ITALIAN FOOD MUCH BETTER,
THOUGH, REMEMBER?

YEAH. YEAH, I REMEMBER.

DON'T LET ME KEEP YOU
STANDING THERE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE TO RUN.
GOOD LUCK.

[KATHLEEN]
ANOTHER ONE.

[POLLY]
HOW COME THEY WANT
TO KEEP US IN THE CITY?

[KATHLEEN]
EASIER TO FIND US.

[POLLY]
W HY'S THAT IMPORTANT?

WE'RE NOT SURE, POL,
BUT IT IS.

[MAN] STOP HIM!

HALT!

[MAN] GET HIM!

ANOTHER SCIENTIST?

NO, BUT HE WAS HELPING ONE
RUN THE ROADBLOCK.

HE GETS TO SHARE
THEIR TREATMENT.

EASY, BOB.
HE'S WOUNDED.

IT'S HIS FAULT.

BREAK THE LAW,
TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES.

- [OFFICER 1] MAN, THIS IS DIFFERENT.
- [OFFICER 2] IT AIN'T!

A CROOK'S A CROOK.

AIN'T NOTHING CHANGED

EXCEPT THE GUYS
WHO GIVE THE ORDERS.

HOW WILL WE
GET THROUGH HERE?

- WILL WE FIGHT?
- NO.

NOW WHERE WILL WE GO?

- [POLLY] WHO'S
GOING TO HELP US?
- I DON'T KNOW.

I DO.

TURN THE CAR AROUND.

THE BIG, BAD DOCTOR
NEEDS MY HELP, HUH?

HOW COME?

YOU'VE CONTACTS
ON THE STREET.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT,
I DO.

AIN'T YOU ALWAYS
PUTTING DOWN
THE STREETS?

YEAH, BUT TIMES
HAVE CHANGED.

YEAH, WELL,
THE STREETS AIN'T.

THEY AIN'T CHANGED
A BIT.

THERE'S JUST
ANOTHER MAN OUT THERE
TO BE THE MAN.

THE STREETS ARE GETTING
A HELL OF A LOT BETTER.

DUDE CAN MAKE
A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY
THERE NOW.

BLACK MARKET.

YOU OUGHT TO PARDON
THE EXPRESSION, BROTHER.

ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH FRESH FRUIT'S
GOING FOR THESE DAYS?

AND BEEF?
I MAKE MORE
SELLING HAMBURGER

THAN I DID
SELLING REEFER.

KEEP DOING
ALL YOU WANT,

BUT A GROUP OF US
IS TRYING TO FIGHT
THIS THING.

IT DON'T AFFECT ME,
EXCEPT TO LINE
MY POCKETS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WRONG.

SAYS WHO?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN I NEEDED YOURS?

I WAS ALWAYS THERE
FOR YOU.

YEAH, EXCEPT A LITTLE
UNAPPROACHABLE.

THE GOLDEN BOY.

MAN, THAT'S ONLY
IN YOUR HEAD.

IF I HEARD IT ONCE,
I HEARD IT
A THOUSAND TIMES.

"WHY CAN'T YOU BE
LIKE BROTHER BENJAMIN,
THE DOCTOR?"

NOW YOU NEED MY HELP?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I'D SURE LIKE TO,

BUT I GOT TO GO
TO THE MEDICAL LIBRARY

AND DO MY STUDYING.

I'LL CATCH YOU LATER,
BROTHER.

[SQUEAKING]

LYNN AND STANLEY
NEVER USE THIS PLACE.

IT'S JUST FOR STORAGE.

DAD IT'S GROSS.
WE CAN'T LIVE HERE.
IT'S FILTHY.

WE CAN CLEAN IT.

- NO WAY IT'S EVER--
- ROBIN, THAT'S ENOUGH.

IT'S FINE, ABRAHAM.
THANK YOU.

FORGIVE MY DAUGHTER'S--

IT'S ALRIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

[STANLEY]
I'M NOT SURE I DO.

FATHER, CAN I TALK
TO YOU OUTSIDE?

I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE
YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE.

THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.

THEIR HOUSE
IS BEING WATCHED NOW.

AND SO IS OURS BY DANIEL.

TELL THEM WE'RE SORRY.

STANLEY,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY HAVE TO STAY.
THEY NEED A PLACE
TO HIDE.

AND WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE THE FATHER
IS A SCIENTIST.

AND THEREFORE SUSPECT
AND A FUGITIVE I TAKE IT,

WHICH MAKES THEM
DOUBLY DANGEROUS.

THEY HAVE TO STAY.

JUST GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

- I WON'T.
- THEN I WILL.

NO, YOU WON'T!

WE HAD TO PUT YOU
IN A SUITCASE.

IN A SUITCASE.
YOU WERE 8 MONTHS OLD.

THAT'S HOW
WE SMUGGLED YOU OUT.

I KNOW THE STORY.

NO, YOU DON'T.

YOU DON'T.

YOUR MOTHER,
SHALOM,

YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T
HAVE A HEART ATTACK
IN THE BOXCAR.

SHE MADE IT WITH ME
TO THE CAMP.

I CAN STILL SEE HER

STANDING NAKED
IN THE FREEZING COLD.

HER BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR
WAS GONE.

THEY HAD
SHAVED HER HEAD.

I CAN STILL SEE HER

WAVING TO ME
AS THEY MARCHED HER OFF

WITH THE OTHERS
TO THE SHOWERS...

THE SHOWERS
WITH NO WATER.

PERHAPS IF SOMEBODY
HAD GIVEN US A PLACE
TO HIDE...

DON'T YOU SEE, STANLEY?

THEY HAVE TO STAY,

OR ELSE WE HAVEN'T
LEARNED A THING.

MIKE.

MY GOD, YOU SCARED
THE HELL OUT OF ME.

I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED
FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN WORRIED
FOR ME, TOO.

WHY ARE THEY SO HOT
TO CAPTURE YOU?

BECAUSE I'VE SEEN
THEIR FACES.

WHAT?

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
DO YOU?

WELL, IT'S SO INCREDIBLE--

REPTILIAN WITH TONGUES
THAT--

IT'S ALL TRUE.
I'VE SEEN IT.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE YOU THINK
YOU'VE SEEN IT.

THINK?

DAMN IT.

I WORK SO CLOSELY
WITH THESE PEOPLE,
IT'S HARD TO...

BE OBJECTIVE.

THIS IS
A WASTE OF TIME.

- DON'T LEAVE YET.
- WHY?

IF I COULD SEE
THE TAPE YOU SHOT...

IT'S HIDDEN.

MIKE, LISTEN...

WE STARTED THIS TOGETHER,

AND IT'S POSSIBLE
YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE I DID GET CLOSER
TO THEM THAN I SHOULD.

IT'S FUNNY.

YOU'RE THE ONE
I ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE CLOSER TO.

YOU'VE GOT A FUNNY WAY
OF SHOWING IT.

I'D REALLY LIKE
ANOTHER CHANCE.

AAH!

THANKS.

AAH!

HEY.

DANNY.

YOU SCARED ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHEN EVERYBODY
WENT TO SLEEP,
I SNUCK OUT.

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE,
BUT I COULDN'T STAND YOUR
POOL HOUSE ANOTHER MINUTE.

WAIT. OUR POOL HOUSE?

IT'S TOO SMALL
FOR ONE OF US,
BUT FIVE?

IT'S TOTALLY
OUTRAGEOUS.

YOU'VE BEEN
DRINKING.

YEAH.

WITH BRIAN?

HE WAS THERE.

HE DOESN'T DRINK.

I DON'T THINK
HE CAN HOLD IT.

DID HE ASK ABOUT ME?

NO. HE SUPPOSED TO?

WELL,
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT.

WELL, NOT TONIGHT,
HE DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW,
I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY.

OTHER NIGHTS, THOUGH?

WHAT?

HE ASKS ABOUT ME
OTHER NIGHTS?

YEAH, WELL, SOMETIMES.
YEAH, I GUESS.

HE WONDERED
WHERE YOU WENT.

SO WE BOTH DID.

ME, ESPECIALLY,

TILL I FOUND OUT
YOU WERE IN MY POOL HOUSE.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID

YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
TILL YOU MADE LOVE?

DO YOU STILL
FEEL THAT WAY?

SURE.

IS HE STILL A VIRGIN,
DO YOU THINK?

WHO?

BRIAN.

GOOD. THIS STUFF
OUGHT TO HELP US
FIND THEIR WEAKNESSES.

LET'S GET A MOVE ON.

I'M NOT SURE
WHETHER THEY
BOUGHT MY ACT.

WHERE'S BEN?

GO, GO, GO, GO!

WAKE UP, JULIE!
LET'S GO!

GO GET HER!

WHAT ARE YOU
STOPPING FOR?

I'M GOING BACK FOR BEN.
WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM.

- YOU'RE CRAZY!
- WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM THERE!

JULIE! JULIE!

JULIE!

BEN!

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

JULIE, NO.

NO.

[GROANING]

GO ON. GO ON.
GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE IT.

6 BUCKS
FOR A DOZEN CLUCKS.

[SCATTING]

CALEB HERE?

WHAT HAPPENED?

BEN'S BEEN HURT.

WHAT WENT DOWN?

WE WERE STEALING
LAB EQUIPMENT.
THEY SHOT HIM.

WHAT, THE DOC?

STEALING STUFF?

YOU OUGHT TO COME TO ME.
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

THEY GOT YOU, TOO?

MAY--MAYBE I OUGHT TO GO
GET AN AMBULANCE.

NO. NO AMBULANCE.

WE'VE ALREADY MADE
OUR DIAGNOSIS,

HAVEN'T WE, DOCTOR?

WHAT YOU WANT TO PULL
A HEIST FOR, BRO, MAN,

WITHOUT YOUR
LITTLE BROTHER'S EXPERTISE?

WE DID IT, THOUGH.

THE TRUCK DID GET AWAY?

BUT LOOK AT YOU, BRO.
YOU A WRECK.

- YOU JUST CAN'T GO DO THIS.
- IS PAPA HERE?

NO, UH...

NO, HE AIN'T
GET HERE YET.

UH...

NOW, LISTEN HERE, MAN,

NOW, DO I TRY DOCTORING?

COURSE NOT. COURSE NOT.

THE NEXT TIME, BRO,
YOU TRY AND BOOST STUFF,

YOU'LL COME TO ME FIRST.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

AIN'T NOTHING TO IT.

LIKE LIFTING
THESE EGGS, MAN.

SHOOT.

SOUND LIKE PAPA NOW.

SHOOT.

HE'LL BE ALONG HERE
ANY MINUTE NOW.

ELIAS.

YOU GOING TO COME
TO ME, RIGHT?

WE'LL TAKE THEM ON
TOGETHER, BRO, YEAH.

JUST THE TWO OF US.

THE BAD TAYLOR BROTHERS,
YEAH!

ELIAS.

THEY'LL SAY, WHOA, MAN!

WHIPPING THROUGH HERE
AND JAZZ.

BAD, BAD TAYLOR BROTHERS.
OH, YEAH.

TAYLOR BROTHERS, MAN.

DOCTOR, YEAH...

DOCTOR AND, UH...

DOCTOR AND, UH...

DOCTOR AND THE OTHER ONE.

THE OTHER ONE.

[WHISPERING]
Elias.

NO!

NO.

THE DOCTOR CANNOT DIE.

OH, YEAH, SURE,
THE OTHER ONE CAN DIE.

HE CAN DIE, BUT...

NOT...

NOT...

NOT…
NOT BEN.

NOT BEN.

AW, DAMN IT, BEN.

[WHISPERING]
Damn it.

[CRYING]

[ABRAHAM] NO!

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT,

DO IT RIGHT.

I'LL SHOW YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

FOR VICTORY.

GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

[JOSH]
HELLO?

NO, DON'T SHOOT ME!

JOSH.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY, HUH?

- I DON'T KNOW.
THEY'RE GONE.
- HOW LONG AGO?

ABOUT THREE DAYS.

YOU'VE BEEN ALONE
SINCE THEN?

WELL, YOU'RE NOT
ALONE ANYMORE.
WHAT HAPPENED?

A LOT OF PEOPLE GETTING
TIRED OF WHAT
THE VISITORS ARE DOING.

A BUNCH OF RANCH HANDS
CAME TO TOWN,

THREW A BOMB RIGHT
INTO THE SQUAD VEHICLE.

THE LOCAL SUPERVISOR
GOT INSIDE.

THEY BLEW IT UP
AND KILLED HIM.

EVERYBODY WAS SHOUTING
ABOUT HOW
WE'RE IN AMERICA

AND THEY WEREN'T GOING
TO STAND FOR THESE
DAMN VISITORS NO MORE.

THERE WAS
CLAPPING AND CHEERING.

SUDDENLY THESE LIGHTS
WERE IN THE SKY,
BORING DOWN.

SOME PEOPLE
SCREAMED AND RAN.

SOME SHOT GUNS.
THEY KEPT ON COMING,
THE SHOCK TROOPERS.

A LOT OF THEM,
A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

I LOST MY MOM AND DAD,
BUT SEAN'S MOM
GRABBED ME.

SHE PULLED US
INTO THE HOUSE.

BUT THEN THERE WERE
THESE LIGHTS AND NOISE.
SHE SLAMMED THE DOOR.

GET BACK!

[JOSH]
BUT THEY WERE
EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE.

THEN I SAW
THESE AWFUL EYES.

IT'S OKAY, KIDDO.
YOU'RE ALRIGHT NOW.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

THEY BROKE
THROUGH THE DOOR
AND TOOK THEM.

HE FOUGHT REALLY HARD.
HE KICKED AT THEM
TO LEAVE HIS MOM ALONE.

HE FOUGHT AND FOUGHT
AND SAID HIS DAD
WOULD GET THEM.

HE WAS REAL BRAVE,
SEAN WAS.

BUT ME...

I…
I--I HID BACK
IN THE CLOSET.

I WAS SCARED.
I'M SORRY, MR. DONOVAN.
I SHOULD'VE HELPED.

JOSH. HEY.

COME ON, DON'T BEAT
YOURSELF UP ABOUT IT.

THERE WASN'T ANYTHING
YOU COULD'VE DONE.

WHAT HAPPENED THEN?

THEY TOOK THEM,
EVERYBODY
TO THE SQUARE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF
SHOUTS AND CRYING.

AND THEN THE LIGHTS
WERE GONE,
SO WAS EVERYBODY...

EVERYONE BUT ME.

"I ONLY HAVE ESCAPED ALONE
TO TELL THEE."

MR. DONOVAN,
WILL I EVER SEE
MY MOM AND DAD AGAIN?

YOU BET.

JOSH.

WHEN I CAME
TO VISIT SEAN,
I BROUGHT HIM SOMETHING.

YEAH, I REMEMBER.

WHAT'D HE DO WITH IT,
DO YOU KNOW?

YEAH, IT'S OVER HERE.

- WHAT IS IT?
- IT'S A KEY.

THAT'S GOING TO GET YOU
INTO WHAT?

THE BELLY OF THE WHALE.

COME ON, KIDDO.

CHAMPAGNE FOR BREAKFAST.

CLASSY.

- WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
- FROM A LOCAL MERCHANT.

ONE WHO KNOWS THE VALUE
THAT A FRIEND CAN BE.

AND NOW...

A TOAST.

TO MY ENGAGEMENT.

WHAT?
TO WHOM?

TO ROBIN MAXWELL.

BUT SHE'S GONE AWAY.

WELL...

NOT THAT FAR AWAY, HUH?

WHAT DOES ROBIN THINK
ABOUT THIS, DAN?

OH, SHE DOESN'T KNOW
ABOUT IT YET.

SEE, I WANT HER,

UH, JUST LIKE I WANTED
THIS CHAMPAGNE.

AND I WILL GET HER,
WON'T I?

OTHERWISE,
I'LL JUST HAVE TO TURN
HER WHOLE DAMN FAMILY IN.

- AAH!
- COME ON!

STOP IT, DANNY!
YOU CRETIN!

- I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE
WITH YOU!
- I SAID COME ON!

DANIEL! DANIEL!
DANIEL!

COME ON!

DANIEL!

[CHURCH BELL TOLLS]

CALEB?

I AM SAD…
FOR YOU.

[HARMONY]
WE BOTH ARE, CALEB.

GET THEM AWAY!

I DON'T WANT YOUR
KIND AROUND HERE.

BUT, CALEB--

GO ON! GET
OUT OF HERE!

WE FELT BAD.
WE WANTED TO--

- GO ON!
- COME ON. COME ON, DAD.

YOU PEOPLE
KILLED MY BOY!

THEY KILLED HIM!
NOW YOU GO ON
AND GET OUT OF HERE!

WILLY, WILLY, COME ON.
YOU TRIED. COME ON.

YOU GO BACK TO
WHERE YOU BELONG!

YOU PEOPLE
KILLED MY BOY!

HEAR ME? GO ON NOW!
GO ON!

GET OUT OF HERE!

[SOBBING]

YEAH, BUT THEY'LL GRANT
MY FAMILY AMNESTY, RIGHT?

JUST LIKE WE ARRANGED.

WHO IS THIS FAMILY
THAT'S IN HIDING ANYWAY?

OH, UM, THEY'RE JUST
A BUNCH OF SCIENTISTS.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

SHALOM.

[CHILD CRIES]

IS EVERYTHING
ALRIGHT?

IT'S OKAY
SO FAR.

NOW WE HAVE
TO RUN THE
ROADBLOCK.

KATIE HONEY, BE QUIET.
EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT.

WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE IT
WITH HER CRYING.

OKAY, TRY THIS.

IT'LL HELP.

YOU COME PREPARED.

I'VE HAD SOME
EXPERIENCE AT THIS.

[KATIE CRIES]

[CRYING]

- HELLO?
- HELLO.
I HAVE A QUESTION.

IF I THOUGHT
I KNEW SOMEONE,

A SCIENTIST, PERHAPS...

WAS BEING SMUGGLED OUT,

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WELL, I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN A REWARD, OF COURSE.

- [WHINING]
- SHH!

[ROBIN] KATIE, BE QUIET.
MOM, DAD, KEEP HER QUIET.

HERE'S
ANOTHER CHOCOLATE.

- HI, OFFICER.
- [COUGHING]

- HOW ARE YOU?
- WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?

- EL TEPEYAC.
- WHAT?

[SANCHO]
EL TEPEYAC.

[OFFICER] EL TEPEYAC. WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I KNOW ALL THE
TOWNS AROUND HERE.

WHERE'S THIS EL TEPEYAC?

IT'S A RESTAURANT
OUT OF TOWN.

BEST FOOD NORTH
OF ENSENADA.

EL TEPEYAC?
I NEVER HEARD OF IT.

WHAT'S THE STORY
BACK THERE?

[WHINING]

NO STORY.
IT'S OKAY.

ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE IT OUT,
THEN, PEDRO.

THANK YOU, OFFICER.

[ELIAS] CAREFUL, BABY,
AIN'T GOING TO BE EASY,

YOU WALKING DOWN
HERE WITH THAT CANE.

[JULIET]
WELL, I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO GET USED TO IT.

ANYWAY, UH, TUNNEL
RUNS DOWN UNDERNEATH
THE CITY.

UH, CONNECTS UP
WITH SOME REALLY
NIFTY PLACES.

I KNOW IT AIN'T
THE BEVERLY HILLS
HOTEL, YOU DIG?

BUT THERE'S
A LOT OF SPACE
DOWN UNDERNEATH,

AND, WELL,
SOME BUMS SLEEP HERE
SOMETIMES.

WELL, WE'LL TAKE ANYONE
WE CAN GET.

I'M REALLY GLAD
TO HEAR THAT.

OF COURSE
THE ELECTRICITY
DOESN'T WORK.

I'LL HANDLE THAT.

THAT'S OKAY, THEN?

IT'S PERFECT.

DYNAMITE. LISTEN,
WHILE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING
YOUR STUFF MOVED IN,

I'M GONNA GO RAP
WITH THE ANGELS.

YOU SEE, LIKE ALL OF THIS
HERE IS LIKE ON THEIR TURF.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
GET THEM TO HELP US?

YOU KIDDING, MAMA?

YOU ARE TALKING
TO THE HENRY KISSINGER
OF EAST L.A.

[LAUGHING]

- CATCH YOU LATER.
- OKAY.

ELIAS?

[RING]

YES? UH, HELLO.

YEAH, THIS IS DANIEL.

WHO TOOK MY FATHER?
THEY SAID ARRESTED?

BUT THEY PROMISED AMNESTY.

THEY SAID...

UH, YEAH, HI.
LYNN BERNSTEIN, PLEASE.

WELL, WAIT. WHAT TIME
DID SHE GO TO LUNCH?

WELL, THAT
WAS FOUR HOURS AGO.

NO, SHE'S NOT AT HOME!

YES, I'M SURE.
I'M AT HOME ALONE.

[OFFICER]
HERE COMES OUR BOY.

BACK FROM
EL TEPEYAC?

[VISITOR] YEAH, LOOKS
LIKE HE HAD SOMEBODY
HIDDEN BACK HERE,

BUT THEY'RE,
UH, GONE NOW.

[ELEANOR]
WHAT IS IT?

JUST A TOKEN
OF APPRECIATION
FOR YOUR...

HOSPITALITY.

[GASPS]

OH, STEVEN.

[TONY]
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?

WELL,
JOSH NEEDS TO
STAY WITH FRAN.

THAT'S OKAY WITH ME.

- YOU LIKE SPAGHETTI?
- YEAH, SURE.

OKAY, WE'LL
GET ALONG JUST FINE.

NOW, THERE'S A REBEL CAMP
UP IN THE HILLS--

LIKE IN EL SALVADOR?

YEAH, JUST LIKE IN EL SALVADOR,
WHERE A BUNCH OF DOCTORS

AND OTHER REBELS ARE HOLED UP.

I'VE HEARD OF ANOTHER PLACE
SOMEWHERE DOWNTOWN, BUT I
DON'T KNOW WHICH BUILDING.

WE'LL FIND IT,
BUT FIRST,

I WANNA SEE
WHAT THIS UNLOCKS.

THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME
ACHILLES' HEEL, SOME WEAKNESS,

SOMETHING WE CAN
USE AGAINST THEM.

AND WE NEED TO FIND OUT
WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE
WHO DISAPPEARED.

[CLOCK TICKING]

[BRIAN]
DANIEL.

I KNOW YOU MUST BE
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ME.

MY SUPERIORS DECIDED
TO TAKE YOUR FAMILY
IN FOR QUESTIONING...

BUT THEY'LL BE HOME SOON.

- THEY WILL?
- [BRIAN]
YOU HAVE MY WORD.

- AND GRANDFATHER, TOO?
- HE ISN'T WELL.

HE'S WITH OUR DOCTORS,
THOUGH,
AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD.

THEY HOPE TO HAVE HIM
FEELING BETTER SOON.

HOW ABOUT YOU?
YOU FEELING BETTER NOW?

UH... YEAH.

I GUESS SO.

WELL, I HAVE SOME NEWS
THAT OUGHT TO HELP SOME.

YOU'RE GETTING
A PROMOTION...

TO MY SECOND IN COMMAND.

- WHAT?
- YES.

CONGRATULATIONS.

- UH… [CHUCKLING]
- [BRIAN] THAT'S NOT ALL.

WHEN I INFORMED DIANA
OF YOUR LOYALTY,

SHE GAVE ME THIS REWARD
FOR YOU.

BRIAN.

[BRIAN]
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT,

AND I'M PROUD TO
HAVE YOU IN MY UNIT.

YEAH.

YOU EVEN KNOW HOW
TO USE THAT THING?

I'M SORT OF WINGING IT.

THIS THING CONTROLS
THE INTENSITY, I THINK,

HOW STRONG A JOLT
IT SHOOTS.

AND YOU PRIME
IT OVER HERE.

COME WITH
EXTRA BATTERIES?

- THEY'RE RECHARGEABLE, I THINK.
- CLEVER, THOSE JAPANESE.

LOOK OUT.

HOW ARE WE GOING
TO HANDLE HIM?

HOW ABOUT
THE DIRECT APPROACH?

EXCUSE ME!

UH, UH, HELLO.

UH, LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY
TO BOTHER YOU LIKE THIS,

BUT I'M ON MY WAY
TO KOREA,

AND MY SHRIMP BOAT
GETS A FLAT TIRE.

SO I REALLY NEED
AN INNER TUBE.

[MIKE] GET HIS GUN.

GO! GO!

[WHIRRING]

ALRIGHT.
SAME DRILL.

ONLY THIS TIME,
I'M NOT GOING TO TRIP.

[LASER FIRING]

COME ON.

I CAN'T MAKE
THIS STUPID THING WORK!

SAFETY'S OVER HERE.

GO!

MIKE!

UP THE CATWALK. GO!

AH!

[GROWLING]

OH! MIKE!

MY EYES!

TONY! TONY!

[MIKE] TONY!

[GROWLING]

AH!

[JULIET] OKAY, LAURIE,
IT'S AROUND THE CORNER,

SECOND DOOR ON YOUR LEFT,
ALRIGHT?

- JULIET PARISH?
- YES?

ROBERT MAXWELL, ANTHROPOLOGY.
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER ROBIN.

HELLO.

THEY SAID YOU WERE ORGANIZING
THINGS OUT HERE.

- THEY DID?
- YEAH.

WELL, COME ON. WE'RE
GETTING THINGS PREPARED

SO WE CAN BRING DOWN
ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT
FROM THE MOUNTAIN CAMP.

WE'RE TRYING
TO MAKE THINGS LIVEABLE...
OR JUST PLAIN SAFE.

[LOUISE]
HEY, JULIE, WHERE'S
THE WATER CUTOFF?

I DON'T KNOW, LOUISE.
TRY THAT ROOM IN THERE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYPLACE THAT'S REALLY SAFE.

YOU'RE RIGHT. THE TOILETS,
BY THE WAY, ARE THROUGH THERE.

- THEY'RE VERY PICTURESQUE.
- [ROBIN] I'LL BET.

THIS IS
OUR POOR MAN'S BBC.

THE KITCHEN IS OVER THERE.

OH, ROBIN, BE CAREFUL
OF THE ELEVATORS.

YEAH, I SEE THE HOLE.

WELL, SHE'S THRILLED
TO BE HERE.

IT'S NOT THE GALLERIA.
I THOUGHT SHE'D REALLY GO CRAZY
AT THE MOUNTAIN CAMP.

A LOT OF GOOD STUFF UP THERE,
ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPES.

YEAH, THAT'S ALL OF OUR
SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT.
WE'VE GOTTA GET IT DOWN HERE.

[ELIAS] JULIE, WHERE DO YOU
WANT ME TO PUT THIS?

[BRAD]
JULIE, WHERE DO YOU WANT
THE STERILIZER?

ELIAS, PUT THAT IN THAT ROOM.
BRAD, OVER THERE.

ROBERT, HERE.

[LOUISE]
JULIE, I CAN'T FIND
THE WATER CUTOFF.

HERE. LET ME HELP YOU.

OW! AAH!

JULIET,
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

OH, RUBY.

I CAN'T HANDLE THIS.

I WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A SCIENTIST...

A DOCTOR...

NOT A PLUMBER
OR SOME KIND OF REBEL.

THEY ALL LOOK AT ME
LIKE I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AND YOU'RE JUST AS LOST
AND SCARED AS WE ARE.

MORE.

THESE ARE THE TIMES
THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHY WE LOOK TO YOU.

BECAUSE
YOU'RE A NATURAL...

- A NATURAL LEADER.
- OH, I DON'T FEEL THAT.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO
IS TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.

TRUST YOURSELF AS MUCH
AS EVERYBODY ELSE
TRUSTS YOU.

IF I CAN'T?

FAKE IT. WE WON'T
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[WHIRRING]

[GRUNTING]

[WHIRRING]

[GROANING]

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

WHERE'S TONY?

SHE'S READY FOR HIM.

WHO IS?

SEVERAL TIMES YOU'VE
CAUSED A BIT OF TROUBLE,
MR. DONOVAN.

THAT'S NOTHING
TO THE TROUBLE
YOU'VE CAUSED, LADY...

LADY--THAT'S
A GOOD ONE.

YOU'LL SOON HAVE
NO MORE WORRIES,
MR. DONOVAN.

I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN A MOMENT.

YOU KNOW, DIANA,
RATHER THAN PUTTING
MR. DONOVAN AWAY,

HE MIGHT
PROVE VERY USEFUL
TO US AS A CONVERT.

MY INSTINCTS TELL ME THAT
HE'D BE TOO DIFFICULT
AS A SUBJECT.

THAT'S WHY I DECIDED
NOT TO BOTHER.

TAKE HIM
TO THE FINAL AREA.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU
THRIVED ON CHALLENGES.

I DO, BUT I
LIKE BETTER ODDS.

[MARTIN]
THAT'S CURIOUS.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D FIND
THE DIFFICULT GAME
FAR MORE INTERESTING.

BUT, ANYWAY,
YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

I DON'T THINK EVEN YOU,
WITH ALL OF YOUR ABILITIES,

COULD EVER TURN
THIS HEAD OF HIS.

MARTIN, WAIT.

DON'T TAKE HIM
TO THE FINAL AREA
JUST YET.

PERHAPS I WOULD
ENJOY THE CHALLENGE
OF CONVERTING HIM.

WELL, AS YOU WISH,
DIANA.

[YELLING]

- LISTEN, MIKE, WE'RE GONNA
GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
- YOU'RE WHAT?

IT'S VERY DANGEROUS,
BUT NOT MORE DANGEROUS

THAN WAHT WOULD HAPPEN
IF YOU STAYED.

YOU TALKED HER INTO CONVERTING
ME, AND YOU EXPECT ME
TO BELIEVE YOU?

I WAS BUYING TIME,
YOU IDIOT.

I'M SORRY, MIKE.

LOOK, SOME OF US,
A VERY FEW OF US,

JUST DON'T BELIEVE
IN WHAT OUR LEADER'S
DOING... OR HIS PLANS.

WHAT ARE HIS PLANS?

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU
NOW. I'VE GOT TO GET YOU OUT.

- WITH TONY.
- THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

- THEN I'M STAYING.
- MIKE.

I'M NOT LEAVING
WITHOUT HIM!

MIKE, IT'S TOO LATE
FOR TONY.

[YELLING]

WHAT THE HELL
THEY DO TO HIM?

- QUIET!
- THAT DAMN DRAGON LADY
CAN BEND PEOPLE'S MINDS.

WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE
NEED A BLOWTORCH FOR?

CONVERSION
IS A VERY DIFFICULT

AND TIME-CONSUMING
OPERATION.

WHEN DIANA SIMPLY
NEEDS SOME INFORMATION,

SHE'LL DO WHATEVER'S
MOST EFFECTIVE...

AND EFFICIENT,

AND SHE LIKES
TO DO IT.

GOD ALMIGHTY.

HELP US.

BE READY.

[SIREN]

OH!

TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF.

YOUR SHOES! HURRY.
MARTIN COULDN'T MAKE IT,

SO YOU'LL HAVE TO
WEAR MY UNIFORM.

- OH, LOTS OF LUCK.
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO--
- IT'LL STRETCH ENOUGH TO FIT.

- YOU SURE DON'T LOOK
LIKE AN IGUANA.
- WHAT?

BAD TASTE.

- WHY ARE YOU AND MARTIN
DOING THIS?
- BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT.

HOW MANY MORE OF YOU
ARE THERE?

NOT ENOUGH, NOT NEARLY,
AND THERE'S GONNA BE
ONE LESS IF YOU DON'T HURRY.

- WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
- TAKE THESE.

A SHUTTLECRAFT
IS ON ITS WAY UP NOW.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO SLIP ABOARD,

IF YOU KEEP YOUR GLASSES ON
AND YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

YEAH. MY VOICE
IS SURE A TIP-OFF.

ALRIGHT, DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO USE THIS?

- LIKE THE RIFLE, YEAH?
- YEAH.

THANKS.

- ALRIGHT.
NOW, SHOOT ME.
- WHAT?

IT'S ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY,

OR THEY WON'T
BELIEVE MY STORY.

- WILL YOU LIVE?
- OF COURSE.

AT LEAST, I HOPE SO.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
YOUR NAME.

IT'S BARBARA.

GODSPEED, MIKE.

PLEASE…
DO IT.

DO IT.

[GROANING]

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
TROOPER UNITS 14 AND 15
TO THE READY ROOM, PLEASE.

TROOPER UNITS 14 AND 15
TO THE READY ROOM.

TROOPER UNIT 36
AND TECHNICIAN UNIT 1,

SQUAD SHUTTLE IN BAY 12,
LEVEL 1.

TROOPER UNIT 36
AND TECHNICIAN UNIT 4,

SQUAD SHUTTLE IN BAY 12,
LEVEL 1.

NO. I DON'T MIND
THE DUTY DOWN THERE.

DO YOU MIND
THE DUTY DOWN THERE?

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T
LIKE ALL THOSE
ANGRY PEOPLE,

BUT I'LL TELL YOU,

THEY DON'T
BOTHER ME.
THEY BOTHER YOU?

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
AROUND BEFORE.

WHAT UNIT YOU WITH?

NICE TALKING
TO YOU.

AREN'T YOU GOING
TO SAY GOODBYE?

YOU HEAR ME?
I WANT TO HEAR
YOU SAY GOODBYE.

[DRIVER]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WAIT!
[YELLING]

GOODBYE!

[GUARD]
HALT! STOP!

[MAN] HEY, JIMMY,
YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN.

[LAUGHTER]

[ELIAS]
YO, ANGELS, COME HERE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING,
BABY?

CHECK IT OUT, MAN.

YOU HARDLY EVER
SEE THEM OUT ALONE.

YEAH, JULIE REALLY WANTS
THE CHANCE TO STUDY
ONE OF THEM UP CLOSE,

FIND OUT WHAT
MAKES 'EM TICK.

WHAT SAY WE PAY
THE VISITOR A VISIT?

YEAH, RIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

[GROANING]

[LAUGHTER]

HEY, JULIE!

WHOO! WHOO!

JULIE,
SPECIAL DELIVERY.

- HEY, HEY.
- GONNA PULVERIZE HIM.

- LET'S GET THIS DUDE.
- RIGHT HERE.

CAREFUL OF HIS GUN.

OKAY.

YOU'RE A BUNCH
OF STUPID BOZOS.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING, HUH?

- DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ONE
OF 'EM.
- HE'S NOT.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT
I'M NOT.

BUT HE MIGHT BE
A SYMPATHIZER.

SYMPATHI--

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A
BANDAGE I COULD BORROW, DO YOU?

OVER HERE.

PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

I GUESS
YOU COULD SAY SHE IS.

WHO IS, HER?
THAT KID?

SHE'S ONE SMART KID.

ARE YOU COMING,
OR WOULD YOU LIKE
TO KEEP ON BLEEDING?

[MIKE] YOU WALK
WITH A CANE, HUH?

- YOU GET HURT, TOO?
- A LITTLE.

- WHERE'D YOU GET
THE UNIFORM?
- THEY HAD A SALE--OW!

- YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
- I DID NOT.

WHERE'D YOU GET
THE UNIFORM?

ON BOARD THEIR SHIP.

COUPLE OF THEM
HELPED ME TO ESCAPE.

- THEY DID? WHY?
- BEATS THE HELL OUT OF ME.

- SOUNDS LIKE A SETUP.
- I DON'T THINK SO--OW...

DON'T YOU HAVE
ANY NOVOCAIN?

I DO, BUT I HAVE TO
SAVE IT. NOW, SIT STILL.

YOU ARE A DOCTOR.

MORE OR LESS.

WELL, THAT'S COMFORTING.

YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S A SETUP--WHY?

THEY SEEMED
SO DAMN SINCERE.

THEY'D HAVE TO,
WOULDN'T THEY?

LOOK, LADY, YOU WEREN'T
THERE, OKAY?

- WHY WERE YOU?
- I'M HIGHLY MOTIVATED--OW!

THAT'S ENOUGH.

I'LL TELL YOU WHY
I WENT UP THERE.

BECAUSE MY KID
AND MY EX-WIFE

AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN THEIR
DAMN TOWN ARE UP THERE!

AND THEY GOT MY PARTNER
UP THERE, TOO.

AND GOD KNOWS WHAT
THEY DID TO HIM.

YOU CALL ME
A SYMPATHIZER?

KID, I OUGHT TO
TAKE THOSE BANDAGES

AND SHOVE THEM
RIGHT DOWN YOUR THROAT.

I GUESS WE SHOULD
BELIEVE YOU.

YOU SEEM
SO DAMN SINCERE.

[LAUGHING]

THAT'S IT.

[JULIET] I WOULDN'T,
MR. DONOVAN.

YOU SEE, WE'RE ALSO
SHORT ON BANDAGES.

LOOK, YOU HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND
OUR POINT OF VIEW.

YOU WERE AMONG THE FIRST
TO BOARD THEIR SHIP.

YOU WORKED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
WITH THEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THREE NIGHTS AGO
YOU MET WITH
KRISTINE WALSH.

AND NOW YOU'RE HERE,
ESCAPED FROM SOMEWHERE

NO ONE HAS ESCAPED
FROM, WEARING--

I KNOW WHAT I'M WEARING.

HOW'D YOU KNOW
ABOUT KRISTINE?

BECAUSE I WAS THERE,
OUTSIDE.

NOW, YOU TALK
ABOUT A SETUP--

YEAH. I KNOW.
I SAW IT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
WHOSE SIDE YOU WERE ON.

I'M ON THE RIGHT
SIDE, KID.

BELIEVE ME.

WELL...

WHY DON'T YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU KNOW?

[MIKE] I'D HAVE TO GET
MY TAPE TO SHOW YOU,
BUT THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE.

REPTILIAN.

- AMAZING.
- NO. NO, NOT REALLY.

LISTEN, THIS COULD HAVE
HAPPENED RIGHT HERE ON EARTH.

WHAT?

UP TO 60 MILLION
YEARS AGO,

THE REPTILES
RULED THE EARTH,

THEN--BAM--A METEOR,
A BIG ONE, PUNCHED A HOLE
RIGHT THROUGH THE CRUST,

THAT SENT UP DUST, HEAT...

- IRIDIUM.
- [ROBERT]
THAT'S RIGHT--IRIDIUM.

IRIDIUM WAS
IN THAT METEOR.

IT KEPT OUT THE LIGHT,
KEPT IN THE HEAT, KIND OF
LIKE A GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

AS THE TEMPERATURES
WENT UP,

THE BIGGEST, THE
SMARTEST REPTILES,

WHO WEREN'T EQUIPPED
TO HANDLE THE HEAT--
LIKE MAMMALS ARE--

SIMPLY DIED.

[ELIAS] SO WHAT ARE
YOU SAYING, MAN,

ALL WE GOTTA DO IS
JUST TURN UP OUR
BARBECUES, AND--POOF--

KENTUCKY FRIED
HORNY TOAD, HUH?

EXTRA CRISPY.

IT'S NOT GONNA
BE THAT EASY,

BUT YEAH. HEAT
CAN BE EFFECTIVE
AS A WEAPON.

[CALEB]
COLD SURE AIN'T.

THE VISITOR WHO SAVED ME
TOOK OVER 300 DEGREES BELOW.

RIGHT. THEY'RE EQUIPPED
TO HANDLE COLD.

LIGHT. BRIGHT LIGHT
MIGHT BE A WEAPON.

THE EATING SCENE
THAT YOU DESCRIBED

WOULD SEEM CONSISTENT
WITH THE BIOCHEMISTRY
OF REPTILES AS WE KNOW THEM.

YES.

LIVE FOOD
OR JUST-KILLED
ANIMALS.

WHAT ABOUT
THE POISON SPRAY?

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
FOR REPTILES ON EARTH

TO SPRAY THEIR VENOM
JUST LIKE THAT.

[JULIET] YEAH, AND FROM
THE SYMPTOMS YOU DESCRIBED,

I'D SAY IT'S NEUROTOXIC. THAT
IT ATTACKS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

AND THAT WOULD CAUSE YOUR HEART
TO FLUTTER AND YOUR LUNGS
TO BE AFFECTED.

CAN YOU MAKE AN ANTIDOTE?

WELL, IT'S, UM,
IT'S POSSIBLE.

PROCEDURES FOR
CREATING AN ANTIVENOM
ARE PRETTY STANDARD,

BUT WE NEED
A QUANTITY OF VENOM.

- LET'S ADD THAT TO THE
SHOPPING LIST.
- SURE.

OH, GOD...

[SIGHS]
IT'S JUST SO MUCH.

YOU KNOW WHAT
WE OUGHT TO DO?

WE OUGHT TO DEFINE OUR
OVERALL PLAN OF RESISTANCE.

RIGHT.

- YEAH.
- I AGREE WITH THAT.

[MAN] THAT MAKES
SENSE. YEAH.

WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS?

UM, FIRSTLY,
TO UNDERMINE
ALL VISITOR ACTIVITY.

- [MAN] SURE.
- IMPEDE THEIR PROGRESS
EVERY WAY THAT WE CAN.

AND THEN SECONDLY,

I THINK WE SHOULD FIND OUT
WHAT THEIR HIDDEN GOALS ARE.

HIDDEN?

SURE. THEY'VE LIED
TO US BEFORE.

YEAH, AND EVEN BRAINWASHED
QUITE A FEW OF US

WITH THAT CONVERSION
PROCESS YOU DESCRIBED.

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO FIGURE THAT
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER
STILL GOING ON.

AND THIRDLY,

WE HAVE TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THEIR PHYSICALITY,

WE'VE GOT TO FIND
THEIR WEAKNESSES.

AND LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT
THEIR TRUE REPTILIAN NATURE.

- THAT TAPE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
- YEAH, I'M HIP.

THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW
ABOUT HOW ALIEN THEY ARE--

THE MORE THEY'LL WANT
TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM.

- I HEAR THAT.
- AND LAST AND PROBABLY
THE MOST IMPORTANT--

THAT WE ESTABLISH CONTACT
WITH OTHERS LIKE US.

SURE AS HELL THEY'RE
THERE IN EVERY CITY
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

RIGHT. WE HAVE TO ORGANIZE
COORDINATED EFFORTS.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE
STAND A CHANCE OF WINNING.

- RIGHT.
- YEAH.

ROBIN.

ROBIN?

NOW, LET'S MAKE A LIST
OF TARGETS TO CONSIDER.

ROBIN?

ROBIN?

ROBIN.

[SIREN]

HOLD IT.

AGAINST THE WALL.

YOU'RE OUT AFTER
CURFEW, BUDDY.

ANOTHER MAXWELL.

SO...

AH, BRIAN.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WE'LL TALK MORE
LATER, KRISTINE.

- I NEED YOUR HELP.
- OF COURSE.

IT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION
THAT YOU'VE DEVELOPED
A RELATIONSHIP...

WITH THIS YOUNG LADY.

WELL, I KNOW HER,
BUT--

IS SHE ATTRACTIVE
TO YOU?

NOT LIKE YOU ARE.

I SEE NOW HOW YOU'VE
RISEN THROUGH THE RANKS
SO QUICKLY.

I'M QUITE SERIOUS.

THAT'S VERY
INTERESTING...

BECAUSE I'VE HAD
MY EYE ON YOU
FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

HOW CAN I BE
OF SERVICE?

PRESENTLY...

I WANT YOUR HELP
WITH AN EXPERIMENT.

MEDICAL EXPERIMENT.

UNUSUAL.

INVOLVING YOU...

AND HER.

PLEASE, JUST
TELL ME WHERE
MY DAUGHTER IS.

WHERE IS SHE?

- SHE'S OUR PRISONER.
- IN HERE?

NO. THE MOTHERSHIP.

IS SHE ALRIGHT?

I'M TOLD THAT WILL
DEPEND ON YOU.

WHAT?

THERE'S SOME
INFORMATION WE NEED.

WE THINK PERHAPS
YOU CAN HELP US.

I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING.

A CAMP IN THE MOUNTAINS.

NO.
I'VE NEVER HEARD--

WE KNOW OF ITS EXISTENCE.
WE NEED TO FIND ITS LOCATION.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT. I--

THAT'S TOO BAD.

I'M AWFULLY SORRY
FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.

NO! WAIT.

MY WIFE,
MY OTHER DAUGHTERS
ARE UP THERE.

IN THE MOUNTAINS?

YES.

YES.

IN THE CAMP.

I CAN'T.

OH, DEAR GOD.

COME WITH ME.

I THINK I CAN
HELP YOU.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGUISH
AND YOUR DILEMMA.

I HAVE CHILDREN, TOO.

SUPPOSE I GUARANTEE YOU

THAT THE CAMP
WILL NOT BE TAKEN
UNTIL A CERTAIN TIME?

THAT WOULD ENABLE YOU
TO GET THEM OUT BEFOREHAND.

YOU'D DO THAT?

I WOULD.

BUT IF YOU WARN
THE OTHERS,

ROBIN WOULD BE
QUITE SEVERELY--

NO. NO.

NO, I WON'T.

BUT...

CAN YOUR PEOPLE TAKE
THE CAMP WITHOUT--

HEY.

IT CAN BE DONE
QUITE EASILY

WITHOUT HARM BEING
BROUGHT TO ANYONE.

WE WON'T GET THERE
UNTIL...

WHAT, 4:00 TOMORROW?

YEAH, YEAH. OKAY.

YOU HAVE MY PROMISE...

AS A FATHER.

I'LL GET THE MAPS.

[ROBIN] BRIAN!

OH...

JUST TAKE IT EASY.
IT'S OKAY.

- IT'S OKAY.
- WHAT'LL THEY DO TO ME?

- I WON'T LET
ANYBODY HURT YOU.
- I WANNA GO HOME.

I WANT TO GO HOME.

I GOT TO HAND IT
TO YOU, DOC.

YOU REALLY PULLED
THIS BUNCH TOGETHER.

YOU SURE
JUICED THEM UP.

I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE,
THOUGH.

YOU BETTER SAVE SOME
FOR YOURSELF.

THANKS.

OKAY, EVERYBODY,

ONE LAST TIME.

WE ALL KNOW
OUR ASSIGNMENTS, THEN.

DIVERSIONARY ACTION
TO START AT 1:00?

THEY'LL KNOW
WE'RE THERE.

[JULIA]
OKAY. 1:00, THEN,

FOLLOWED BY OUR MAIN ASSAULT
AGAINST THE ARMORY AT 2:00.

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP IN MIND
THAT OUR PRIME OBJECTIVE--

- IS TO RIP OFF AS MANY WEAPONS
AS WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON.
- RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO ARM OURSELVES

SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROTECT
ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT

WHEN WE BRING IT DOWN
FROM THE MOUNTAIN CAMP.

UH, LISTEN...

WHILE YOU'RE BREAKING LOOSE
ALL HELL DOWN HERE,

I'M GOING TO INFILTRATE THE
MOTHERSHIP AND TRY TO--

TRY TO FIND YOUR FAMILY?

HOPEFULLY.

BUT ALSO TO TRY
TO GET A HANDLE
ON THEIR PLANS.

THAT'S PRETTY SUICIDAL,
ISN'T IT?

WELL, MY PARTNER ALWAYS SAID

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A KAMIKAZE PILOT,

AND HE'S STILL
UP THERE SOMEWHERE.

WE'D, UH...

HATE TO LOSE YOU,

MR. DONOVAN.

I'D HATE TO
LOSE ME, TOO.

GOOD LUCK.

TO ALL OF US.

LET'S DO IT.

WAIT, JULIET.
HOW ABOUT A PRAYER?

HOW ABOUT IT, CALEB?

WELL, I THOUGHT
THAT YOU WOULD--

ALRIGHT.

WELL, LORD...

WE REALLY NEED
YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE.

PLEASE, HELP EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF US TO DO THE BEST WE CAN.

A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE DEPENDING ON US.

THAT'S ALL.

AMEN.

- [WOMAN] AMEN.
- AMEN.

LET'S DO IT.

[FACTORY HORN BLOWS]

THAT'S 12:30.

- [CALEB] I KNOW IT, BROTHER.
- HURRY UP.

LOOK, MAN. I AIN'T NEVER MESSED
WITH STUFF LIKE THIS BEFORE,

AND I'D JUST AS SOON
NOT GET MY HANDS
BLOWED OFF, OKAY?

NOW, LET'S GO
SET THE OTHERS.

OH...

OH, BOY, I HATE
WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT.

BOY, I'D LIKE TO STICK IT
IN THEIR HAIR.

HEY, HOLD ON.
WAIT FOR ME.

[ENGINE REVVING]

WILLY!

WILLY!

[SCREAMING]

[ALARM BLARES]

WHAT?

ALRIGHT, RIGHT AWAY.

BACK ON BOARD,
EVERYBODY.

THERE'S TROUBLE
AT THE PLANT.
COME ON.

[MAN]
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

THIS ONE'S FOR ABRAHAM.

ALRIGHT,
STAND BACK.

GET SOME
EXTINGUISHERS!

[CHUCKLING]

[KRISTINE] ISOLATED
INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE,

MOSTLY EXPLOSIONS
AT VISITOR OR POLICE
INSTALLATIONS,

ARE BEING REPORTED
ALL ACROSS LOS ANGELES.

THEY MAY BE PART
OF A COORDINATED EFFORT

BY THE SCIENTIFIC
CONSPIRACY--

MY HANDS ARE
REALLY SWEATING.

ARE YOU SCARED,
TOO?

I JUST HOPE THERE
AREN'T ANY CASUALTIES.

I'D HATE TO LOSE
ONE OF US.

HANG ON!

[ALARM BLARES]

WATCH OUT FOR THE STAKES
IN THE ROAD!

[GROANING]

[GROANING]

OOH-WHEE!

GUNS…AND AMMUNITION.
CHECK IT OUT.

LET'S GET IT
LOADED FIRST.

[GROANING]

JULIE!

- I'VE GOTTA WARN THE CAMP.
THEY'RE GONNA BE ATTACKED.
- WHAT?

ROBIN'S A PRISONER.
I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HER.

BUT TOO MANY
OTHER LIVES AT STAKE.

ROBERT!

[GROANING]

DONOVAN?

[MIKE] I WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.

THOSE TANKS
DOWN IN THE HOLD.

YOU'VE BEEN THERE?

YEAH.
THEY'RE FULL OF WATER.

WHERE'S THE CHEMICAL
YOU GUYS ARE MAKING?

THERE'S NO CHEMICAL.

WHAT THE HELL ARE--

OH, MY GOD.

THAT CHEMICAL'S
JUST A SMOKE SCREEN,
ISN'T IT?

THAT ISN'T
WHAT YOU WANT AT ALL.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE HERE
TO TAKE THE WATER.

IT'S THE RAREST,
MOST VALUABLE COMMODITY
YOU CAN IMAGINE.

UNLIKE MOST PLANETS--
OURS INCLUDED--

EARTH IS BLESSED
WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF IT.

WE NEED IT, MIKE,

FOR OUR SUSTENANCE

AND TO POWER
FUSION GENERATORS

AND THE LEADERS'
WEAPONS.

- WE COULD HAVE SHARED IT.
- SOME OF US PROPOSED THAT...

BUT OUR LEADER
WANTS IT ALL.

OTHER SHIPS LIKE THIS ONE
ARE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY.

THE PLAN WILL TAKE
A GENERATION,

BUT HE'LL HAVE HIS WAY.

AND THE EARTH
WILL BECOME A DESERT,

AND HUMANITY WILL DIE.

NO.

THERE WON'T BE ANY
PEOPLE LEFT BY THEN.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
I HAVE TO SHOW YOU.

[WHISTLING]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

LOOK, UM...

I'M SORRY ABOUT THE, UH...

WHERE'S GRANDPA?

WE NEVER SAW HIM.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?

I BURNED IT.

WHAT IS THIS?

THEY'RE YOUR PEOPLE.

DEAD?

[MARTIN] NO.

JUST THIS SIDE OF DEATH.

METABOLISM SLOWED
EXTRAORDINARILY.

DIANA'S...

WORK.

THE PEOPLE
WHO DISAPPEARED...

MY SON...

IS HE IN HERE
SOMEWHERE?

OR IN ANOTHER SHIP
LIKE THIS ONE.

WHY ARE THEY
BEING TAKEN,

STORED LIKE THIS?
WHY NOT JUST KILLED?

THE LEADER
NEEDS THEM LIVING.

SOME OF THEM
WILL BE MADE INTO TROOPS

FOR BATTLES
WITH HIS ENEMY.

WHAT ENEMY?

THE FORCE THAT HAS
DEFEATED HIM BEFORE.

HIS ENEMY?
THAT MAKES THEM
OUR FRIENDS, RIGHT?

- I DON'T KNOW--
- WELL, IT'S SOMETHING
TO GO ON.

YOU SAID SOME OF THEM
WOULD BE HIS TROOPS...

NOT ALL.

- NO.
- WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?

IN ADDITION TO THE WATER...

THERE'S ANOTHER BASIC
SHORTAGE ON OUR PLANET.

FOOD.

[SIREN]

HOW'D SOMEONE
LIKE THAT

GET TO BE
YOUR LEADER ANYWAY?

CHARISMA,
CIRCUMSTANCES, PROMISES.

NOT ENOUGH OF US SPOKE OUT
TO QUESTION HIM
UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE.

IT HAPPENS ON YOUR PLANET,
DOESN'T IT?

I GUESS IT DOES.

HOW'S BARBARA?

SHE'S RECOVERING.

LOOK, MIKE, THIS WON'T
BE PLEASANT FOR YOU.

- ARE YOU SURE YOU--
- YEAH...

I'M SURE.

TONY.

GOD.

DIANA?

YES.

SHE'S AUTHORIZED SOME...

MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS.

I WANT TO KILL HER.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

[MOANING]

[MOANING]

[GASPS]

WHO ARE YOU?

A FRIEND.

THEY--THEY TRIED
TO MAKE ME TALK,

BUT MY GRANDFATHER...

HE FOUGHT...

FOUGHT WITH ZAPATA.

I TELL THEM NOTHING.

I SPIT IN THEIR FACES.

- WHERE'D YOUR FRIEND GO?
- HE SAID THERE'S
A HOSTAGE BEING USED

TO MAKE HER FATHER
SPY ON US. HERE HE COMES.

GET ON BOARD QUICK.
DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN,
JUST GET ON. LET'S GO.

YOU'RE COMING, TOO?

- WELL, I CAN'T STAY HERE.
- YOU OUGHT TO.

- BUT, MIKE..
- YOU'D BE MORE VALUABLE
TO US HERE.

BUT I'VE GOTTA FLY THIS
FOR YOU.

I'M A PILOT. I'VE RIDDEN IN
ENOUGH OF THESE THINGS TO TRY.

- BUT LISTEN, MIKE--
- MARTIN.

SAY IT, MAN.
YOU'RE SCARED.

YEAH. IT'S VERY,
VERY DANGEROUS
FOR ME HERE NOW.

WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE, A
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT DISNEYLAND?

I'M SURE BARBARA WAS SCARED,
AND TONY, TOO.

HELL, MAN, WE'RE ALL SCARED,
EVERY LAST DAMN ONE OF US.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO HELP
IN THE BEST WAY WE CAN.

NOW, HOW ABOUT IT, MAN?
ARE YOU GAME?

YOU'LL HAVE A TENDENCY
TO OVERCOMPENSATE, MIKE.

THE CONTROLS ARE
VERY, VERY SENSITIVE.

IF YOU LET IT, MIKE,

IT WILL ALMOST
FLY ITSELF.

I HOPE SO.

HEY.

I'M PROUD TO HAVE YOU
AS A FRIEND.

I HOPE WE LIVE
TO BE OLD FRIENDS.

HEY!

HOLD IT!

HANG ON.

GET ANOTHER FIGHTER
AND FOLLOW ME!

THEY MAY NOT KILL US,
BUT MY DRIVING MIGHT.

PULL UP.

I'M WORKING ON IT.

AAH!

ALRIGHT.
LET THEM HAVE IT,
CISCO.

SANCHO.

WELL DONE, CAPTAIN--
THEIR MOUNTAIN CAMP.

THIS SHOULD GIVE YOUR TROOPS
A LITTLE EXERCISE.

IT'S NOT 4:00!
THEY LIED!

THEY LIED TO ME!

[WOMAN]
BILLY, GET OVER HERE!

[ROBERT]
KATHLEEN!

POLLY!

COME ON, SANCHO.
NAIL THAT SUCKER.

I WILL, I WILL, BUT I NEED
A LITTLE LUCK.

WE'RE GONNA HIT
THE MOUNTAIN.

NOT WITH ANY LUCK.

[SCREAMING]

WHERE'D YOU LEARN
HOW TO FLY?

[MAN]
NO! NO! MY EYES!

KATHLEEN!

[MAN]
MOVE BACK! MOVE BACK!

[MAN]
BRING THEM
OVER HERE!

WE GOT TO STOP THEM!

ALRIGHT!
GET THEM OUT!

COME ON!

WE GOT TO SAVE
ALL THE EQUIPMENT
IN THAT BUILDING, OKAY?

[MAN] COME ON!
GET THEM OUT!
GET THEM OUT!

HURRY UP!

COME ON!
COME ON!

[CHEERING]

[MAN]
YEAH! ALRIGHT!

LOOK OUT.
HERE THEY COME AGAIN.

YEAH!
ALRIGHT!

COME ON!
HURRY UP!

[SCREAMING]

JULIE! JULIE!

HELP ME. DO SOMETHING.

HELP.
DO SOMETHING, PLEASE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

DO SOMETHING.

JULIE!

ANOTHER PASS.

I WANT TO GET THAT WOMAN.

RETURN TO BASE.

[CAPTAIN] RIGHT AWAY.
ALL UNITS RETURN TO BASE.

[CHEERING]

KATH!

KATH!

KATHLEEN.

OH, GOD.

THIS WASN'T GOING TO
HAPPEN, NOT TO ANYONE.

I TRIED
TO FIGHT THEM.

WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?

DADDY!

MAMA!

- WE FOUGHT GOOD, HUH?
- YEAH, WE FOUGHT GOOD.

MR. DONOVAN.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YEAH...

YOU, TOO.

SO, WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

BEN, WE DID IT.
WE SAVED ALL
THE EQUIPMENT IN HERE.

DID YOU SEE THEM
TURN AND RUN?

HOW ABOUT THIS LADY HERE, RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF IT, HUH?

- SHOOT, MAN, THEY
AIN'T SO TOUGH.
- HUH?

THEY
AIN'T SO TOUGH.

WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?

WELL, FROM WHAT YOU SAID,

SOUNDS LIKE WE'D BETTER FOCUS
OUR ATTENTION ON DESTROYING

AS MANY OF THE MOTHERSHIPS
AS POSSIBLE.

DESTROYING?

I DON'T THINK
YOU GET THE PICTURE, DOC.

THERE ARE PEOPLE
UP THERE. THOUSANDS
OF THEM. OUR PEOPLE.

YES, I UNDERSTAND--

ELIAS, GET THE TRUCKS OUT--

AND WE'LL TRY TO SAVE

AS MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE.

- TRY?
- YES, TRY!

DAMN IT, DONOVAN,
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND

THAT WE MAY HAVE
TO SACRIFICE THOSE THOUSANDS
TO SAVE MILLIONS,

EVEN BILLIONS.
LOOK...

LOOK, I DON'T LIKE IT
ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.
I HATE IT.

MY LIFE HAS BEEN DEVOTED
TO SAVING LIVES,

BUT WE MAY NOT
HAVE A CHOICE.

BRAD, HELP ME GET
THE EQUIPMENT OUT.

ELIAS, GET THE OTHER
TRUCKS GOING.

GET THE AMMUNITION
OUT FIRST,

THEN THE BIOMEDICAL
EQUIPMENT.

WELL, IT'S NOT
THE HOLIDAY INN,

BUT IT'S GONNA
HAVE TO DO.

YOU SOUND LIKE MOM.

GUESS I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO, HUH?

DO YOU STILL
FEEL SICK?

NOT LIKE
THIS MORNING.

EVERY MORNING FOR THE
PAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

I'M FINE.

WAS IT REALLY SCARY
UP IN THAT SPACESHIP?

YEAH, IT WAS
REALLY SCARY.

BUT IT WAS ALSO...

VERY INTERESTING.

OKAY, EVERYBODY,
GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

YOU SOUND LIKE MOM,
ALRIGHT.

REALLY, MICHAEL.

THAT'S THE MOST
OUTRAGEOUS STORY
I'VE EVER HEARD.

LISTEN. WHETHER YOU
BELIEVE IT OR YOU DON'T,

THE TRUTH IS,
MY SON--YOUR GRANDSON--

AND 10,000 OTHER
PEOPLE ARE PRISONERS

ABOARD THOSE BIG SHIPS
OF YOUR FRIENDS.

NOW, GOOD GOD,
DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE UNAWARE

OF WHAT WENT ON
AROUND THIS TOWN
ALL WEEK LONG.

OF COURSE I'M AWARE.
I'M NOT A FOOL.

- [MIKE] THEN WHY--
- I'M A SURVIVOR, MICHAEL.

OTHERWISE, I NEVER
WOULD'VE GOTTEN HERE

FROM THAT LOUISIANA
HICK TOWN WHERE I STARTED

OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE
NEVER MADE IT THROUGH

YOUR FATHER'S DRUNKENNESS.

IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

[ELEANOR]
I'M A SURVIVOR,

AND IF YOU ARE
GOING TO BE,

YOU'D BETTER
CHANGE YOUR WAYS.

I KNOW THE VISITORS
AREN'T SAINTS,

BUT THEY'RE IN POWER.

THEY ARE POWER.

YOU AND I
ARE IN UNIQUE POSITIONS.

DON'T YOU SEE THAT?

WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE--

BECAUSE I CAN'T SURVIVE
AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER PEOPLE.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS A KID...

THERE WAS A WOMAN
WHO TAUGHT ME
WHAT WAS RIGHT

AND WHAT WAS WRONG.

I WONDER WHATEVER
BECAME OF HER.

[VISITOR]
HALT!

I SAID HALT!

[DOOR OPENS]

- WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?
- PLEASE, I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.

OUR SON MAY BE HERE
AT ANY MINUTE.
YOU UNDERSTAND? HE'S--

YES, I KNOW,
BUT THE RESISTANCE
NEEDS YOUR HELP.

WHAT?

WE WANT THIS
TO BE A SAFE HOUSE

WHERE SOME OF US CAN
COME AND HIDE OCCASIONALLY.

YOU'RE OUT
OF YOUR MIND.

WE'VE ALREADY
BEEN ARRESTED ONCE.

LOOK
HOW HE'S SUFFERED.

THEY TORTURED HIM.

AND OUR SON IS
AN INFORMER.

YES AND ALL OF THAT IS WHY
THIS IS AN IDEAL PLACE.

THE LIGHTNING STRUCK HERE
ONCE ALREADY.

BELIEVE ME, THEY
WON'T LOOK HERE AGAIN.

WE CAN'T.

THE ONLY REASON
THEY LET US GO

WAS SO THAT WE WOULD WARN
OTHERS OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

- THE NEXT TIME,
THEY MIGHT KILL US.
- THEY KILLED KATHLEEN.

WE'VE GOT TO STOP THEM.

I DECIDED THAT
IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT

FOR ME TO DIE,
MYSELF, IF MILLIONS--

MILLIONS
COULD BE SAVED.

OH, PLEASE.

MY GOD, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

WE CAN'T.

I'M TRULY SORRY.
WE CAN'T.
WE SIMPLY CAN'T.

WHAT'S THIS?

MY FATHER LEFT IT
FOR US. READ IT.

READ IT TO HIM.

"MY DEAR FAMILY,
IT'S PAINFUL KNOWING

THAT I'LL NOT SEE
YOUR FACES ANYMORE."

"BUT I MUST TAKE
THIS STAND FOR
WHAT I KNOW IS RIGHT.

"YOU MAY THINK THAT
AN OLD MAN WOULDN'T
BE AFRAID TO DIE,

BUT THIS OLD MAN'S
VERY FRIGHTENED."

"I'M HOPING
THAT I'LL FIND

"A LITTLE OF
YOUR MOTHER'S
DIGNITY AND STRENGTH.

"SO FAR, I'M AS
FRIGHTENED AS A CHILD
WHO FEARS THE DARK."

"BUT WE MUST FIGHT
THIS DARKNESS

"THAT IS THREATENING
TO ENGULF US.

"EACH OF US MUST
BE A RAY OF HOPE
AND DO OUR PART

"AND JOIN WITH THE OTHERS
TILL WE'VE BECOME
A BLINDING LIGHT...

TRIUMPHANT
OVER DARKNESS."

"UNTIL THAT TASK
IS ACCOMPLISHED,

LIFE WILL HAVE
NO MEANING."

"MORE THAN ANYTHING,
YOU MUST REMEMBER ALWAYS
WHICH SIDE YOU'RE ON

AND FIGHT FOR IT."

"YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL
MARCH BESIDE YOU..."

"HOLDING HANDS AGAIN..."

"WE'LL SING YOUR SONG
OF VICTORY.

YOU'LL FEEL US
IN YOUR HEARTS..."

"OUR SPIRIT..."

OUR SPIRITS
WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS

AND OUR LOVE.

WE HAVE TO HELP.

OR ELSE WE WON'T
HAVE LEARNED A THING.

[WHISPERING]
Yes.

OKAY, KENNY, START IT NOW.

SO THAT'S A CALL
FOR HELP?

YEP. A MATHEMATICAL CODE.

IF THE VISITORS
DO HAVE AN ENEMY,

THEY OUGHT TO BE
INTELLIGENT ENOUGH
TO TRANSLATE THIS.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK
IT'LL TAKE TO REACH THEM?

IT DEPENDS HOW FAR AWAY
THEY ARE. A FEW YEARS,
PROBABLY.

- GOD. YEARS?
- UH-HUH.

AND WE'RE GOING
TO KEEP ON TRANSMITTING
DAY AND NIGHT.

- RIGHT, KENNY?
- [KENNY] RIGHT.

HOPE THEY GOT
THEIR GHETTO BLASTERS
TUNED IN ON US.

IF THEY DO,

LET'S HOPE
THEY'RE ON OUR SIDE.

SO WHAT, WE HANG IN THERE
FOR A COUPLE MORE YEARS,
RIGHT?

BUT THE REALITY
WE HAVE TO FACE

IS THAT HELP
MAY NEVER COME.

WE MAY END UP HAVING
TO RELY COMPLETELY
ON OURSELVES.

SO? WE'VE DONE ALRIGHT.
THE FIRST BATTLE'S
BEEN WON, RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT,

BUT THE WAR
IS JUST BEGINNING.
