V (1984–1985): Season 1, Episode 14 - The Champion - full transcript
Good evening, I'm Howard K. Smith,
and this is the state of the war tonight.
In an unprecedented show of solidarity,
an integrated force
of black and white South Africans
staged a daring hit-and-run attack
on the Visitor processing plant
at Johannesburg.
More than 200 people were rescued.
Philadelphia resident Stuart Kaminsky
was awarded
the Freedom Network's Medal of Valor
for his courage in operating
an underground railroad
between Atlanta
and the City of Brotherly Love.
To date, he has single-handedly
saved more than 300 people
from the Georgia work camps.
Here at home in the US, in Los Angeles,
shocking news
as Nathan Bates, the power broker
behind the Open City, has died.
Gunned down and badly wounded
three weeks ago
while negotiating a prisoner exchange,
Bates is survived only by a son.
But the burning question
at this point becomes:
What will be the fate of Los Angeles?
Honey, | need a doctor.
All right, take it easy now.
I'm gonna get you some help.
Mom!
It's all right, Johnny,
Mama's gonna be all right.
Alan, it's time.
-We gotta find a doctor.
| know. All right.
Johnny, you listen to me now.
| gotta find a doctor for your mom.
You gotta be the man around here
till | get back. Can you do that?
-Yes, Dad.
Alan, please don't leave.
Please, it's the only way.
| promise you, I'll be back.
-I'm counting on you now, boy.
I'll take care of Mom.
| love you.
| love you, too.
Will you guard the fort now?
Take care of your mom, I'll be right back.
We are moving to control
every sector of the city.
The only real opposition has come
from a number of isolated pockets
of resistance.
Nevertheless, within a matter of hours,
all of Los Angeles
will be under our control.
Have they searched in the vicinity
of what used to be the Club Creole?
The Club Creole?
The humans destroyed that, didn't they?
Yes. But they're so inefficient.
Consider it done.
There is one thing
that troubles me, though.
What's that?
I'm told that Charles had no knowledge
of the attack
until after we had already begun.
Sometimes in order
to get something done,
one must simply take the initiative.
Had | gone through channels
and waited for Charles,
the attack might have failed.
I've been looking for someone
Il can trust
to oversee Los Angeles for me.
My orders are to report all progress
to Charles.
Yes, of course.
But Charles has bigger things
on his mind than Los Angeles.
He could never reward you
the way | could.
| exist to serve in any way that you see fit.
All things in good time, Lieutenant.
Help!
No, please, do not harm me.
I'm insolent.
I've seen you on TV.
You're the Resistance, right?
No.
Aren't we all?
All right, now, look. Look...
All I've got to do Is to find Julie Parrish.
With the amount of control
the Visitors have on the city,
everyone's afraid to stand up to them.
-Everyone but us.
By the time you're finished,
there'll be only two kinds of humans
left around here:
Resistors and Collaborators.
Any word from the other groups?
They've been hit hard. They're regrouping.
We should do the same thing.
I don't know. Right now,
one place is as good as another.
The Visitors are trying to soften us up,
move us out into the open.
| think our best bet is to sit tight
and see what our options are.
-You think we should stay here for now?
Right.
Just don't get too attached to anything.
Julie!
We caught this guy outside.
He claims to be a friend of yours.
Alan?
Julie.
You know this guy?
Yes, | went to school with his brother.
What're you doing here?
Look, | need help.
My wife's having a baby.
With the Visitors attacking,
all the hospitals are taken over.
Where is she?
In a bombed-out store at Fourth
and Highland. | left my son with her.
Get your wife here, we'll help her.
She's already in labor.
There's no way she can make it here.
Just tell me what | need to know
to deliver the baby myself.
I'm going with you. He needs me.
Wait. Everything's up for grabs out there.
We've lost too many good people
to take another chance right now.
No way, I'm going with him.
Mike.
I'll go with her.
All right. Here, take this.
And take the van.
You might as well be of some help.
-You take this.
Thanks.
Let's go.
No!
It's okay, Mom, | did it.
Honey, you mustn't scare me like that.
Don't you know you're all I've got?
Don't worry, Mom, I'll protect you. See?
Yes, but | don't want you playing
with something so sharp.
No, it's a spear. Don't you see?
Any lizard tries to hurt you,
I'll take care of him.
That's fine, honey.
Just don't hurt yourself, okay?
Okay, you sleep.
I'll stand guard till Dad gets back.
Okay.
It's from Lt. James.
He claims the battle for Los Angeles
is well in hand.
He expects to have the entire city
under control by nightfall.
I still don't understand
who gave the order.
| did.
Why wasn't | told?
I didn't have the time.
You will, once I| finish telling Charles.
Don't be so sure.
Even Charles should be able
to appreciate victory.
Victory or insubordination?
You heard Lt. James’ report.
The entire city will soon be ours.
Including the Resistance?
I've filed a complete progress report
and sent a copy to the Leader.
You do think of everything.
And | hope, for your sake, all this
celebration isn't a bit premature.
I don't think so.
That's the difference
between us, Lydia dear.
| take charge of the situation,
and you wait for permission.
We shall see.
Now why don't you take charge
of the bridge
while I go and talk to Charles.
Charles, I've just learned...
Diana has ordered
the take-over of Los Angeles.
How do you know?
| intercepted the message
she sent to the Leader.
You're dismissed.
The entire attack on the city is clearly
a flagrant disregard of your command.
Yes, unfortunately, her success
makes her difficult to court-martial.
-| don't see why.
Simple politics.
But | have a plan.
And what ts that?
I'm going to marry Diana.
You what?
As a member of the House of Raman,
I can take any woman
I choose as my wife.
By law, she cannot refuse.
I know the law.
Then you also know that once married,
the only way she can serve the cause
is by bearing offspring.
And that is a task
better performed at home,
not the front line.
It just seems like more politics to me.
As they say here,
politics make strange bedfellows.
Why don't you just let me shoot her
and be done with it?
Because then I'd have to send you back.
You're sure it'll work?
I'll put her
on the first available shuttle myself.
-And what if she refuses?
She can't.
By law, the ceremony must take place
within 12 hours of betrothal.
She'll be married, with lizard,
and on her way home
before she knows what hit her.
Is that why
you've installed the best bed in the fleet?
Lydia, surely you're not jealous, are you?
Now consecrate.
What did Kyle say?
Julie, we caught this guy outside.
He claims to be a friend of yours.
You did it.
-Did | remember everything?
Word for word.
You even sounded like him.
I think if I practice,
| can remember everything I'm told.
Heads up. A Visitor patrol
is coming down the street.
Looks like they mean business.
-Many?
Full platoon, armed to the teeth.
We should go, | can feel it.
-We'll be abandoning Julie if we do.
They're getting closer, Mike.
If we move now, we'll draw their fire.
We gotta ride out the storm.
Yes, itis always best
not to jump to contusions.
Listen.
It's quiet.
It's too quiet.
Move out.
If we get separated, meet me
at the lagoon in Griffith Park. Move!
Don't let them escape! No quarter!
Elizabeth!
Elizabeth, come on!
| came as soon as | got your message.
| see that your furniture arrived.
I take it that you heard
about Lt. James' success
in locating the Resistance headquarters?
Unfortunately, the Resistance leaders
have eluded him.
But there's a limit to how long
they can stay at large
with the entire city under our control.
Was there something else?
Section 48 of the code.
Section 48 deals with marriage.
Don't tell me you and Lydia...
Someone else.
You.
You must be joking.
All is in preparation.
No. I don't have to.
| am in the direct line of descent
from Raman.
The choice is mine, | choose you.
I'd rather die first.
That can be arranged.
I'm sure you'll change your mind.
Mom.
When you had me, was it like this?
| mean, did | hurt you this much?
Sweetie, you didn't hurt me.
This is just the way babies come in...
It's just the way babies
come into the world, honey.
How you doing, huh?
-How's your mom?
Good.
Jo Ann, are you okay?
-She's right in the middle of a contraction.
They're happening every 20 minutes.
I'll stand guard.
Come on, kid, give me a hand.
It doesn't mean she'll deliver right now.
-It could take as long as 48 hours.
Could happen any minute, right?
I don't think so.
But we brought a van.
I'd like to do a preliminary exam.
If you're up to it, | wanna take you with us.
I don't think she should move.
What if we get stopped or pinned down?
We're in the middle of fighting here.
If something should happen,
at least back there, I've got equipment
to handle an emergency.
It's up to you. Do you think you can move?
What do you want to do?
All | want is to have my baby.
You're a doctor?
Listen to her.
Who grows there?
Willie, it's me.
-Who's me?
Mike.
Mike.
Are you the only one here?
No, the others are over there.
I'm the outlook.
-You mean the lookout.
Lookout.
Good work.
-Let's go check in.
Yes, check in.
Mike!
You're all right.
| tried to shake the Visitors,
I think | was successful.
Where should we go now?
We'll worry about that later.
There's something more important.
-What?
Julie and Kyle.
If they bring that guy and his wife
to what used to be headquarters,
-they'll be walking straight into a trap.
How can we find them?
That's the tough part.
| can remember the general location,
but | can't remember
the exact address. Can you?
No.
Elizabeth.
I'm not sure! can.
What? Anything might help.
Elizabeth has a pornographic memory.
Photographic.
Sometimes, if | really concentrate,
-| can remember everything I've heard.
Everything?
-She even does voices.
It doesn't always work.
What have we got to lose?
Remember this morning, Julie's friend,
where did he say they were going?
“| need your help.
My wife is having a baby.
"With the Visitors attacking,
all the hospitals are closed.”
"Where is she?"
“At a bombed-out store
on Fourth and Highland.
"| left my son with her.”
Fourth and Highland.
That's about 5 miles from here.
-Are you okay?
Just a little weak.
It's harder than | thought it would be.
You did just fine.
Give me a few minutes and I'll be able
to help you find Julie and Kyle.
No, what | need you both to do
is to set up
a new base of operations for us.
-Right here?
No, Willie.
There's an abandoned movie studio.
The Visitors hit it pretty hard.
So they shouldn't be back there
for a while.
How do we get there?
| marked a trail down the Cahuenga Pass.
It leads right to the studio.
You can't miss it.
Meanwhile, I'll try to round up
Julie and Kyle.
If our luck holds out, we'll meet you there.
You're in charge, Elizabeth.
Yes? What Is it?
Charles asked me to shave your body
in preparation.
And he sent me to fit you
for your wedding skin, Commander.
I'm afraid that won't be necessary.
There's been a change of plans.
There won't be any wedding.
Now get out of my sight.
Don't take it out on them, Diana.
They're merely following Charles’ orders.
| suggest you do the same.
When | want your suggestions, Lydia,
I'll put a box outside the door.
I'm going to miss you, Diana.
You're really very complex.
I can understand
why Charles is so passionate
about making you his bride.
| hate to disappoint you,
but there won't be any wedding.
I'm sure the Leader
will be less than pleased
when he learns of Charles' intentions.
On the contrary,
the Leader has already sent his blessing.
Unfortunately, he won't be able
to attend the ceremony.
You'll look lovely in scales.
What a strange place.
All these buildings are just fronts.
Perhaps the people that once lived here
never looked behind them.
Look...
This must have been quite a hot dog.
Willie, wait!
Come here. Now there's a real hot dog!
Isn't he cute?
He likes you.
-His name is Ramsey.
Ramsey?
| think we could use some help, Ramsey.
-Your shuttle is ready, Commander.
Thank you, Louis.
| appreciate your loyalty.
| want you to have this.
I know you deserve more,
but at the moment, it's all | can offer you.
Commander, please.
It's reward enough to serve you.
Especially now that your enemies
have you at a disadvantage.
Now, please. You must go at once.
Thank you.
Atiention! All docking personnel
report to Loading Bay 177.
Incoming shuttle now offloading.
Medical personnel report to Orange Area 3
immediately.
Getting cold feet?
| was just checking out the landing bay.
I see.
Of course, you do know
that if a bride is caught
attempting to desert her groom,
such an offense is punishable by death.
Why, Charles, | would never desert you.
Good.
| don't handle rejection well.
Take her away, Louis.
So much for loyalty.
How's she doing?
She's only 2 centimeters effaced,
and her contractions
are about 10 minutes apart.
We've still got a little time to go yet.
Honey, everything's gonna be all right.
You think we should try
getting out of here?
Yes, I'll get Kyle to move the van around
so you don't have far to walk.
Get the van and back it up, it's time to go.
Bad timing.
Visitor patrol just came around the corner.
Great.
What do you think?
Just let them pass.
When they go by, we'll leave.
Sergeant, that van there. Check it out.
| don't want any vehicles in this sector
that might be commandeered
by the Resistance.
Yes, sir.
-Halt!
Get back!
All right, hold your fire.
/ want these rebels taken alive
for questioning.
lf we can make them talk,
we'll soon crush the entire movement.
What happened?
Visitors saw the van
and came in for a closer look.
One spotted your son,
and Kyle had to shoot him.
-What are we gonna do?
We fight with everything we got.
On Earth they say it is unlucky
to see the bride before the wedding.
And yet, somehow, | feel most fortunate.
It's nothing compared to what
I will give you once we're married.
Of that | have no doubt.
Where are those ceremonial eels?
Finally. What took you so long?
The ritual bath suits you well.
Charles is a lucky man.
You are by far
the most beautiful woman
in the fleet, Diana.
I know. But it's a curse sometimes.
May their venom give you strength
and their bodies make you fertile.
Charles, | couldn't wait for you
in my quarters any longer.
I've been thinking about Diana.
You've decided on assassination.
You know, you really must learn
to control your passions.
Untempered, they can be very dangerous.
Then you're still going to marry her.
Of course.
As long as you send her back.
Actually, I've decided
to keep her for a while.
-What?
| may have a use for her.
You went to her ritual bath.
She's more promising than | expected.
You can't do this.
Don't be silly. Of course | can, and | will.
-Marta.
Lydia, you're too early.
Tell Charles that I'm still preparing
the marriage potion.
It's not good to rush these things...
Charles didn't send me,
and | couldn't care less.
-It must be difficult for you...
Did you hear what | said?
Lydia, the entire fleet knows
how you feel about Charles.
There's certainly no shame
in losing to Diana.
-But you must be very jealous.
Jealous?
Marta, do you enjoy working
on the Mother Ship?
-The fleet is my life.
Then keep your opinions to yourself.
Or Diana won't be
the only one being shipped back.
I'd like a bottle of cat poison.
Isn't it terrible how they multiply?
Do you know that there won't be a rat
left to eat on this ship
if something isn't done
about those awful cats soon.
-What's this?
Essence of rodent musk.
| don't need perfume.
Lydia, it is guaranteed to drive men crazy.
You go too far.
-Willie, what is it?
More Visitors coming this way.
Everybody scatter.
I'm sure | heard something in here.
It's only a dog.
Let's move on.
Ramsey, come here, boy.
-Come here. Good boy.
Ramsey, thank you.
You've got five minutes,
Julie, isn't there anything we can do?
| don't want my girl born on a battlefield.
Alan, | understand how you feel.
But the only thing we can do now
is to take it one step at a time.
Alan.
It's okay, honey. Just take it easy now.
I haven't let you down yet, have I?
-l love you.
| love you, too.
So you want a little girl this time, huh?
| want a baby. He wants a little girl.
What are you going to name her?
-Jennifer.
Barbara.
Maybe you'll have twins.
You men over there, cover the side street.
I'm sorry.
-About what?
The trouble I've caused.
Forget it.
-You killed him?
| don't know.
I don't think so.
He managed to crawl away.
And you didn't shoot him again?
-Nope.
| would have.
When I grow up, I'll join the Resistance
and kill lizards just like that.
With any luck, maybe you won't have to.
But I want to.
Wrong. You shouldn't want
to kill anybody.
Not even lizards.
-| thought you were with the Resistance.
That's right.
Then I don't understand.
How can you be with the Resistance
and not want to kill lizards?
-What's your name?
John Michael Davis.
Now listen to me, John Michael Davis.
There's only one reason to ever pick up
a gun, and that's in self-defense.
Everybody's got a right to live.
Even the Visitors,
as long as they are willing
to live by the same rules that we are.
Understand that?
Why don't you go back with your dad
before things heat up around here again.
This is your last chance. Surrender or die.
You fave one minute.
What are the options?
It sounds like
they're going to try and rush us.
We can either stay and fight,
or try to get her into the van.
-Either way, it's gonna be pretty tough.
| want this baby born free.
Let's go for it. John, come on around
and help me with your mom.
Remember your deep breathing.
How's it look?
-Time’s almost up. It's now or never.
Get ready, men.
| want you to get in the van and start It.
I'll cover you. We'll get out of here.
Is there anything | can do?
Think you still got a pitching arm?
All right.
When I make a break for the van,
lob this into that jeep there.
Got it.
Forty-five seconds,
Here goes nothing.
This is your last chance.
All right, hold fi, Drop your weapen.
Continue to walk
with your hands in the air.
Hey, boys, the party's up here!
It's their leader, go!
-You saved her, Dad. You did it.
You betcha. Now let's go.
-Go on through on the top there.
Yes, sir.
-| thought it might be you.
How'd you know?
Isaac Newton.
What goes up, must come down.
The wedding march.
It's time, my friends.
Are you ready?
Charles, do you promise to be the stone
that crushes the Leader's enemies?
Diana, do you promise to bear Charles,
in the ripeness of your years,
a multitude of fearless warriors?
-Will you hunt and provide?
| will.
The ceremonial mouse.
Like two serpents intertwine,
may you cling together until death.
You may kiss the bride.
It's all right.
She always cries at weddings.
Then, in the name of our glorious leader,
| declare you mated.
On behalf of myself and my lovely bride,
enjoy yourselves.
Lydia.
-How thoughtful of you to come.
Yes, we missed you.
What's that scent you're wearing?
Musk of Rat. Do you like it?
-It fits you to a tee.
Enchanting.
Don't let me keep you.
Jealousy leaves
such a disagreeable aftertaste.
Shall we go?
Here we are.
It reminds me of Lydia, even the smell.
Musk of Rat: Lydia's new perfume.
Yes, it does seem to linger
once you've had a whiff of it.
You had them engraved. How thoughtful.
-Charles and Diana.
A gift from Lydia, actually.
The time has come.
In my heart,
| have longed for this moment.
Then drink with me.
Take this as you take me forever.
I've just been poisoned.
Lydia.
Alan, she's so lovely.
You finally got the daughter you wanted.
We owe her life to all of you.
You'll never know how grateful we are
for all you've done.
We wouldn't have had it any other way.
Look, Jo Ann and | have talked it over
with John.
We're gonna name her Victoria
after the victory we'll all enjoy someday.
Victoria.
| like that.
Let it be soon.
For all our sakes.
Charles.
Charles...
It's too late for regrets, Lydia.
You're under arrest
for the wanton murder of Charles.
-Take her away.
No!

I'm gonna get you some help.
Mom!
It's all right, Johnny,
Mama's gonna be all right.
Alan, it's time.
-We gotta find a doctor.
| know. All right.
Johnny, you listen to me now.
| gotta find a doctor for your mom.
You gotta be the man around here
till | get back. Can you do that?
-Yes, Dad.
Alan, please don't leave.
Please, it's the only way.
| promise you, I'll be back.
-I'm counting on you now, boy.
I'll take care of Mom.
| love you.

Julie!
We caught this guy outside.
He claims to be a friend of yours.
Alan?
Julie.
You know this guy?
Yes, | went to school with his brother.
What're you doing here?
Look, | need help.
My wife's having a baby.
With the Visitors attacking,
all the hospitals are taken over.
Where is she?
In a bombed-out store at Fourth
and Highland. | left my son with her.
Get your wife here, we'll help her.
She's already in labor.
There's no way she can make it here.
Just tell me what | need to know
to deliver the baby myself.
I'm going with you. He needs me.
Wait. Everything's up for grabs out there.
We've lost too many good people
to take another chance right now.
No way, I'm going with him.
Mike.
I'll go with her.
All right. Here, take this.
And take the van.
You might as well be of some help.
-You take this.
Thanks.
Let's go.
No!
It's okay, Mom, | did it.
Honey, you mustn't scare me like that.
Don't you know you're all I've got?
Don't worry, Mom, I'll protect you. See?
Yes, but | don't want you playing
with something so sharp.
No, it's a spear. Don't you see?
Any lizard tries to hurt you,
I'll take care of him.
That's fine, honey.
Just don't hurt yourself, okay?
Okay, you sleep.
I'll stand guard till Dad gets back.
Okay.
It's from Lt. James.
He claims the battle for Los Angeles
is well in hand.
He expects to have the entire city
under control by nightfall.
I still don't understand
who gave the order.
| did.
Why wasn't | told?
I didn't have the time.
You will, once I| finish telling Charles.
Don't be so sure.
Even Charles should be able
to appreciate victory.
Victory or insubordination?
You heard Lt. James’ report.
The entire city will soon be ours.
Including the Resistance?
I've filed a complete progress report
and sent a copy to the Leader.
You do think of everything.
And | hope, for your sake, all this
celebration isn't a bit premature.
I don't think so.
That's the difference
between us, Lydia dear.
| take charge of the situation,
and you wait for permission.
We shall see.
Now why don't you take charge
of the bridge
while I go and talk to Charles.
Charles, I've just learned...
Diana has ordered
the take-over of Los Angeles.
How do you know?
| intercepted the message
she sent to the Leader.
You're dismissed.
The entire attack on the city is clearly
a flagrant disregard of your command.
Yes, unfortunately, her success
makes her difficult to court-martial.
-| don't see why.
Simple politics.
But | have a plan.
And what ts that?
I'm going to marry Diana.
You what?
As a member of the House of Raman,
I can take any woman
I choose as my wife.
By law, she cannot refuse.
I know the law.
Then you also know that once married,
the only way she can serve the cause
is by bearing offspring.
And that is a task
better performed at home,
not the front line.
It just seems like more politics to me.
As they say here,
politics make strange bedfellows.
Why don't you just let me shoot her
and be done with it?
Because then I'd have to send you back.
You're sure it'll work?
I'll put her
on the first available shuttle myself.
-And what if she refuses?
She can't.
By law, the ceremony must take place
within 12 hours of betrothal.
She'll be married, with lizard,
and on her way home
before she knows what hit her.
Is that why
you've installed the best bed in the fleet?
Lydia, surely you're not jealous, are you?
Now consecrate.
What did Kyle say?
Julie, we caught this guy outside.
He claims to be a friend of yours.
You did it.
-Did | remember everything?
Word for word.
You even sounded like him.
I think if I practice,
| can remember everything I'm told.
Heads up. A Visitor patrol
is coming down the street.
Looks like they mean business.
-Many?
Full platoon, armed to the teeth.
We should go, | can feel it.
-We'll be abandoning Julie if we do.
They're getting closer, Mike.
If we move now, we'll draw their fire.
We gotta ride out the storm.
Yes, itis always best
not to jump to contusions.
Listen.
It's quiet.
It's too quiet.
Move out.
If we get separated, meet me
at the lagoon in Griffith Park. Move!
Don't let them escape! No quarter!
Elizabeth!
Elizabeth, come on!
| came as soon as | got your message.
| see that your furniture arrived.
I take it that you heard
about Lt. James' success
in locating the Resistance headquarters?
Unfortunately, the Resistance leaders
have eluded him.
But there's a limit to how long
they can stay at large
with the entire city under our control.
Was there something else?
Section 48 of the code.
Section 48 deals with marriage.
Don't tell me you and Lydia...
Someone else.
You.
You must be joking.
All is in preparation.
No. I don't have to.
| am in the direct line of descent
from Raman.
The choice is mine, | choose you.
I'd rather die first.
That can be arranged.
I'm sure you'll change your mind.
Mom.
When you had me, was it like this?
| mean, did | hurt you this much?
Sweetie, you didn't hurt me.
This is just the way babies come in...
It's just the way babies
come into the world, honey.
How you doing, huh?
-How's your mom?
Good.
Jo Ann, are you okay?
-She's right in the middle of a contraction.
They're happening every 20 minutes.
I'll stand guard.
Come on, kid, give me a hand.
It doesn't mean she'll deliver right now.
-It could take as long as 48 hours.
Could happen any minute, right?
I don't think so.
But we brought a van.
I'd like to do a preliminary exam.
If you're up to it, | wanna take you with us.
I don't think she should move.
What if we get stopped or pinned down?
We're in the middle of fighting here.
If something should happen,
at least back there, I've got equipment
to handle an emergency.
It's up to you. Do you think you can move?
What do you want to do?
All | want is to have my baby.
You're a doctor?
Listen to her.
Who grows there?
Willie, it's me.
-Who's me?
Mike.
Mike.
Are you the only one here?
No, the others are over there.
I'm the outlook.
-You mean the lookout.
Lookout.
Good work.
-Let's go check in.
Yes, check in.
Mike!
You're all right.
| tried to shake the Visitors,
I think | was successful.
Where should we go now?
We'll worry about that later.
There's something more important.
-What?
Julie and Kyle.
If they bring that guy and his wife
to what used to be headquarters,
-they'll be walking straight into a trap.
How can we find them?
That's the tough part.
| can remember the general location,
but | can't remember
the exact address. Can you?
No.
Elizabeth.
I'm not sure! can.
What? Anything might help.
Elizabeth has a pornographic memory.
Photographic.
Sometimes, if | really concentrate,
-| can remember everything I've heard.
Everything?
-She even does voices.
It doesn't always work.
What have we got to lose?
Remember this morning, Julie's friend,
where did he say they were going?
“| need your help.
My wife is having a baby.
"With the Visitors attacking,
all the hospitals are closed.”
"Where is she?"
“At a bombed-out store
on Fourth and Highland.
"| left my son with her.”
Fourth and Highland.
That's about 5 miles from here.
-Are you okay?
Just a little weak.
It's harder than | thought it would be.
You did just fine.
Give me a few minutes and I'll be able
to help you find Julie and Kyle.
No, what | need you both to do
is to set up
a new base of operations for us.
-Right here?
No, Willie.
There's an abandoned movie studio.
The Visitors hit it pretty hard.
So they shouldn't be back there
for a while.
How do we get there?
| marked a trail down the Cahuenga Pass.
It leads right to the studio.
You can't miss it.
Meanwhile, I'll try to round up
Julie and Kyle.
If our luck holds out, we'll meet you there.
You're in charge, Elizabeth.
Yes? What Is it?
Charles asked me to shave your body
in preparation.
And he sent me to fit you
for your wedding skin, Commander.
I'm afraid that won't be necessary.
There's been a change of plans.
There won't be any wedding.
Now get out of my sight.
Don't take it out on them, Diana.
They're merely following Charles’ orders.
| suggest you do the same.
When | want your suggestions, Lydia,
I'll put a box outside the door.
I'm going to miss you, Diana.
You're really very complex.
I can understand
why Charles is so passionate
about making you his bride.
| hate to disappoint you,
but there won't be any wedding.
I'm sure the Leader
will be less than pleased
when he learns of Charles' intentions.
On the contrary,
the Leader has already sent his blessing.
Unfortunately, he won't be able
to attend the ceremony.
You'll look lovely in scales.
What a strange place.
All these buildings are just fronts.
Perhaps the people that once lived here
never looked behind them.
Look...
This must have been quite a hot dog.
Willie, wait!
Come here. Now there's a real hot dog!
Isn't he cute?
He likes you.
-His name is Ramsey.
Ramsey?
| think we could use some help, Ramsey.
-Your shuttle is ready, Commander.
Thank you, Louis.
| appreciate your loyalty.
| want you to have this.
I know you deserve more,
but at the moment, it's all | can offer you.
Commander, please.
It's reward enough to serve you.
Especially now that your enemies
have you at a disadvantage.
Now, please. You must go at once.
Thank you.
Atiention! All docking personnel
report to Loading Bay 177.
Incoming shuttle now offloading.
Medical personnel report to Orange Area 3
immediately.
Getting cold feet?
| was just checking out the landing bay.
I see.
Of course, you do know
that if a bride is caught
attempting to desert her groom,
such an offense is punishable by death.
Why, Charles, | would never desert you.
Good.
| don't handle rejection well.
Take her away, Louis.
So much for loyalty.
How's she doing?
She's only 2 centimeters effaced,
and her contractions
are about 10 minutes apart.
We've still got a little time to go yet.
Honey, everything's gonna be all right.
You think we should try
getting out of here?
Yes, I'll get Kyle to move the van around
so you don't have far to walk.
Get the van and back it up, it's time to go.
Bad timing.
Visitor patrol just came around the corner.
Great.
What do you think?
Just let them pass.
When they go by, we'll leave.
Sergeant, that van there. Check it out.
| don't want any vehicles in this sector
that might be commandeered
by the Resistance.
Yes, sir.
-Halt!
Get back!
All right, hold your fire.
/ want these rebels taken alive
for questioning.
lf we can make them talk,
we'll soon crush the entire movement.
What happened?
Visitors saw the van
and came in for a closer look.
One spotted your son,
and Kyle had to shoot him.
-What are we gonna do?
We fight with everything we got.
On Earth they say it is unlucky
to see the bride before the wedding.
And yet, somehow, | feel most fortunate.
It's nothing compared to what
I will give you once we're married.
Of that | have no doubt.
Where are those ceremonial eels?
Finally. What took you so long?
The ritual bath suits you well.
Charles is a lucky man.
You are by far
the most beautiful woman
in the fleet, Diana.
I know. But it's a curse sometimes.
May their venom give you strength
and their bodies make you fertile.
Charles, | couldn't wait for you
in my quarters any longer.
I've been thinking about Diana.
You've decided on assassination.
You know, you really must learn
to control your passions.
Untempered, they can be very dangerous.
Then you're still going to marry her.
Of course.
As long as you send her back.
Actually, I've decided
to keep her for a while.
-What?
| may have a use for her.
You went to her ritual bath.
She's more promising than | expected.
You can't do this.
Don't be silly. Of course | can, and | will.
-Marta.
Lydia, you're too early.
Tell Charles that I'm still preparing
the marriage potion.
It's not good to rush these things...
Charles didn't send me,
and | couldn't care less.
-It must be difficult for you...
Did you hear what | said?
Lydia, the entire fleet knows
how you feel about Charles.
There's certainly no shame
in losing to Diana.
-But you must be very jealous.
Jealous?
Marta, do you enjoy working
on the Mother Ship?
-The fleet is my life.
Then keep your opinions to yourself.
Or Diana won't be
the only one being shipped back.
I'd like a bottle of cat poison.
Isn't it terrible how they multiply?
Do you know that there won't be a rat
left to eat on this ship
if something isn't done
about those awful cats soon.
-What's this?
Essence of rodent musk.
| don't need perfume.
Lydia, it is guaranteed to drive men crazy.
You go too far.
-Willie, what is it?
More Visitors coming this way.
Everybody scatter.
I'm sure | heard something in here.
It's only a dog.
Let's move on.
Ramsey, come here, boy.
-Come here. Good boy.
Ramsey, thank you.
You've got five minutes,
Julie, isn't there anything we can do?
| don't want my girl born on a battlefield.
Alan, | understand how you feel.
But the only thing we can do now
is to take it one step at a time.
Alan.
It's okay, honey. Just take it easy now.
I haven't let you down yet, have I?
-l love you.
| love you, too.
So you want a little girl this time, huh?
| want a baby. He wants a little girl.
What are you going to name her?
-Jennifer.
Barbara.
Maybe you'll have twins.
You men over there, cover the side street.
I'm sorry.
-About what?
The trouble I've caused.
Forget it.
-You killed him?
| don't know.
I don't think so.
He managed to crawl away.
And you didn't shoot him again?
-Nope.
| would have.
When I grow up, I'll join the Resistance
and kill lizards just like that.
With any luck, maybe you won't have to.
But I want to.
Wrong. You shouldn't want
to kill anybody.
Not even lizards.
-| thought you were with the Resistance.
That's right.
Then I don't understand.
How can you be with the Resistance
and not want to kill lizards?
-What's your name?
John Michael Davis.
Now listen to me, John Michael Davis.
There's only one reason to ever pick up
a gun, and that's in self-defense.
Everybody's got a right to live.
Even the Visitors,
as long as they are willing
to live by the same rules that we are.
Understand that?
Why don't you go back with your dad
before things heat up around here again.
This is your last chance. Surrender or die.
You fave one minute.
What are the options?
It sounds like
they're going to try and rush us.
We can either stay and fight,
or try to get her into the van.
-Either way, it's gonna be pretty tough.
| want this baby born free.
Let's go for it. John, come on around
and help me with your mom.
Remember your deep breathing.
How's it look?
-Time’s almost up. It's now or never.
Get ready, men.
| want you to get in the van and start It.
I'll cover you. We'll get out of here.
Is there anything | can do?
Think you still got a pitching arm?
All right.
When I make a break for the van,
lob this into that jeep there.
Got it.
Forty-five seconds,
Here goes nothing.
This is your last chance.
All right, hold fi, Drop your weapen.
Continue to walk
with your hands in the air.
Hey, boys, the party's up here!
It's their leader, go!
-You saved her, Dad. You did it.
You betcha. Now let's go.
-Go on through on the top there.
Yes, sir.
-| thought it might be you.
How'd you know?
Isaac Newton.
What goes up, must come down.
The wedding march.
It's time, my friends.
Are you ready?
Charles, do you promise to be the stone
that crushes the Leader's enemies?
Diana, do you promise to bear Charles,
in the ripeness of your years,
a multitude of fearless warriors?
-Will you hunt and provide?
| will.
The ceremonial mouse.
Like two serpents intertwine,
may you cling together until death.
You may kiss the bride.
It's all right.
She always cries at weddings.
Then, in the name of our glorious leader,
| declare you mated.
On behalf of myself and my lovely bride,
enjoy yourselves.
Lydia.
-How thoughtful of you to come.
Yes, we missed you.
What's that scent you're wearing?
Musk of Rat. Do you like it?
-It fits you to a tee.
Enchanting.
Don't let me keep you.
Jealousy leaves
such a disagreeable aftertaste.
Shall we go?
Here we are.
It reminds me of Lydia, even the smell.
Musk of Rat: Lydia's new perfume.
Yes, it does seem to linger
once you've had a whiff of it.
You had them engraved. How thoughtful.
-Charles and Diana.
A gift from Lydia, actually.
The time has come.
In my heart,
| have longed for this moment.
Then drink with me.
Take this as you take me forever.
I've just been poisoned.
Lydia.
Alan, she's so lovely.
You finally got the daughter you wanted.
We owe her life to all of you.
You'll never know how grateful we are
for all you've done.
We wouldn't have had it any other way.
Look, Jo Ann and | have talked it over
with John.
We're gonna name her Victoria
after the victory we'll all enjoy someday.
Victoria.
| like that.
Let it be soon.
For all our sakes.
Charles.
Charles...
It's too late for regrets, Lydia.
You're under arrest
for the wanton murder of Charles.
-Take her away.
No!
