V (1984–1985): Season 1, Episode 16 - The Littlest Dragon - full transcript
Anxious to settle a personal vendetta, Philip trails a Fifth Columnist, hoping he will lead him to the Resistance and Donovan.
They arrived in 50 Mother Ships,
offering their friendship
and advanced technology to Earth.
Skeptical of the Visitors,
Mike Donovan and Juliet Parrish
infiltrated their ranks
and soon discovered
some startling secrets,
They're shipping food!
The Resistance fs all that stands
between us and the Visitors.
-Which way?
According to Robert, it is just ahead.
Well, we made it this far.
This time | have them.
The Mentamorph is a perfect lure.
The Leader will decorate me personally
for this.
A few hundred more yards
and I'll have them within range.
Come, my little mice, closer to the bait.
What is this?
It's a surprise ending to the Resistance.
How come | wasn't informed
of this operation?
| knew nothing about this.
It's amazing how much
you know nothing about.
-You insubordinate swine, I'll...
You'll do nothing.
As usual.
And may | suggest, Diana, you pray
that this little operation of yours
is successful.
Don't worry. It will be.
Watch.
Entertaining, isn't it?
You seem to enjoy the killing.
Don't you? | heard that
you Were once a warrior.
| still am,
but the only death I'll enjoy
is that of Donovan's.
The man who killed my brother.
That is the Mentamorph.
-That is weird.
Yes. It is more than that.
It is evil. Itis a one of a kind monster.
It's some kind of
mind-control device, right?
It destroys the will to live, and to fight.
Come on, let's blow it to hell.
You know something?
I don't like this a bit.
It's been too easy getting here.
Come on, don't look a gift horse
in the mouth.
Wait, it's started pulsing.
Is it supposed to do that?
Get down!
It's not real.
-What?
It's a fake.
The real Mentamorph would never shatter.
Diana must have set us up.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Did something go wrong, dear?
Something or someone
tripped the explosives prematurely.
You've failed.
Lock the lasers within a five-mile radius.
I want you to vaporize the entire area.
-Lasers locked on target.
Fire.
-l said, "Fire"!
l am.
You incompetent fool!
| have been betrayed.
-Pity.
Enough.
It was you.
-Are you accusing me of treason?
Silence!
Just one word, Diana,
and I'll run you so far from the fleet
the only thing you'll command
is a garbage scow.
| think Philip's found your true calling.
And | hold you equally responsible.
You are her commanding officer.
Check the electromagnetics.
Deck B, chamber 24. Looks like sabotage.
-Whoever it was will plead for death.
Please forget the histrionics.
Come with me.
Come on, we must hurry.
I'm afraid | do not move
as fast as | used to, Robert.
Maybe | should not have gotten involved
with the Fifth Column.
-I'm sorry.
For what?
For making me proud of you?
For trying to stop the killing?
You did what you had to.
| love you, Glenda.
We love you, too.
I think we shook them
when we doubled back.
I'm sorry, | led you into a trap.
Hey.
Come on, you weren't alone out there.
If only Elizabeth were here,
she would have sensed something.
But she’s not. She's with Julie
up north at the research center.
I should have known
that Mentamorph was not real.
Willie, you made a mistake.
Nobody's perfect.
No, I should leave
before | get you both killed.
Come on. Where are you gonna go?
I don't know. I'll find a cave somewhere.
Willie!
You belong here.
You're one of us.
No, Mike, I'm not.
I'm different. I'm alone...
I'm a cast out
and | bleed green.
Robert, a traitor?
You can't trust anyone anymore.
The guards trailed him and his wife
to the landing bay.
Without those beryllium crystals
we can't fire a laser.
Yes, and now we're vulnerable,
thanks to you.
Return to the bridge. Call in
all starfighters to a defensive perimeter.
What about our offensives?
Forget them.
We need to protect the Mother Ship.
-There they are. Kill them.
No.
You'll destroy the crystals.
You've had ample opportunity
to defeat the Resistance.
Now it's my turn.
Are these fighters still equipped
with homing devices?
Yes.
Traitors will run right to the Resistance.
I'll be right behind them.
-You'll need an escort. May | suggest...
| don't care who it is
as long as they don't get in my way.
You haven't changed, have you, Angela?
You still take pleasure in inflicting pain.
You haven't changed, either.
Still caring about
the weak and the beaten.
Do you two know each other?
Philip was my combat master
at the academy before | was shipped out.
So much the better.
She is not an acceptable escort.
Philip.
I'm surprised that you would allow
your personal feelings
to interfere with sound military judgment.
Clearly she is the best for the job.
Prepare yourself for combat.
We leave in one hour.
-And you do nothing unless | order it.
As always, sir.
Sir!
He's in a bad mood.
Did you have some difficulty
with Philip at the academy?
| killed a cadet while in training.
Philip had me retired,
destroyed any chance | would have had
to become an officer.
I can understand
why you're angry with him.
-You must dislike him a great deal.
| hate him,
the sanctimonious coward.
Why don't you come to my quarters
and we'll discuss it?
-Man, Willie's really upset.
l can't say | blame him.
He's a trillion light years away from home
and his own people are trying to kill him.
How would you feel?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
-It must be lonely.
| guess so.
Over there.
It's going down. Come on.
You live well.
Is it this way for all officers?
Rank does have its privileges.
Care for a snack?
Thanks, | would.
First time | saw you,
| knew that you were officer material.
| would be, if it weren't for Philip.
Philip's vendetta against you
is unpardonable.
I could give you
a battlefield commission right away.
But Philip would just cancel it.
I'm afraid it's true. As long as he's alive.
What if...
Yes?
You can tell me, dear.
We're friends.
What if Philip were dead?
Then the commission
would instantly be yours.
It will be difficult.
Philip's a combat master.
It will be easier than you think.
When Philip meets Donovan,
they will fight.
-Philip will crush Donovan.
Perhaps.
But then you'll kill Philip.
They'll both be dead
and you'll be an officer.
Would you care for another?
-Are you all right?
l am fine.
| think the moment may be soon.
Freeze! Put them up, get your hands up.
Are you with the Resistance?
My name is Robert.
lam with the Fifth Column.
| told Willie about the Mentamorph.
You're the guy that set us up.
| did not know it was a trap. | triggered
the explosion as soon as | found out.
Please, you have to help my wife.
-Yeah, she's...
Pregnant.
The photo drive unit's still warm.
We should be right behind them.
And their escort.
lt appears there were two of them.
It will be difficult to follow on asphalt.
Not with this.
| thought you had given up combat
for the law.
| have.
What's the matter?
Miss the taste of blood?
| see you're still that same blood-thirsty
orphan | found on Andromeda's moon.
You should have killed me when
your armies killed the rest of my people.
It's too late now. You're soft,
like your brother Martin
before he was killed.
-What do you know of my brother?
There were rumors.
-What kind of rumors?
That he was with the Fifth Column.
Those are lies. My brother was a loyalist.
He was loyal to the Leader.
-If you say so.
Il do!
I'm going to kill the man
who murdered him.
Only him? What about the rest
of the Resistance?
I'll leave them to you.
Have you ever done this before?
| helped with my own kid,
but Glenda's not...
-Not human.
Yeah.
How much different could it be?
Come on, sit down here.
Shouldn't somebody be
boiling some water or something?
No water.
Like I said, no water.
Willie?
Yes?
-Glenda and | were wondering...
What?
Our child will need a Wantu.
Especially since he will be a stranger
on this planet.
Yes, you're right.
| suggest you choose Mike Donovan.
He is a hero.
Wait a minute, I'll get it. What's a Wantu?
No, no, Mr. Kyle, a Wantu ts like
a second father, a friend, a teacher
-rolled into one.
A role model.
Actually, | was thinking of you, Willie.
Me? You want me?
| think you'd make a great Wantu.
I'm going to have a baby.
And a family.
Is this 1t?
All right, this is it. Let's get busy.
It is coming.
I'm very busy, Diana.
What was it you wanted?
-I've been thinking...
Incredible. A new experience for you.
-You are charming.
Don't waste my time.
Philip has me running circuit checks
on every electrical and magnetic board
on the ship.
What? A line officer doing manual labor?
It's disgusting. | only hope
he and Donovan kill each other.
Brilliant.
-What?
The plan you just thought of.
Plan?
Yes, it is brilliant.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
I'll make sure there are no survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
Do it. That's an order.
You amaze me, Lydia.
That's because
I'm your commanding officer.
ft is brilliant.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
Ji make sure there are neo survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
That's it.
Now keep pushing.
You're doing fine.
Her toes are curling.
That means it is time.
Concentrate. You can do it.
Push.
That's fine.
| think | can see its head.
I think.
Just one more, then you can rest.
It's a...
It's...
It's an egg.
Man, this | got to see.
We must work quickly.
Mike, help me remove some shell quickly.
He is beautiful.
Robert, you have a son.
| wish we had some champagne
to celebrate,
but under the circumstances,
I think this is going to have to do.
Donovan!
What is it?
It's Martin.
It's Martin.
| thought you told me Martin was dead?
He is. Diana killed him.
Donovan.
Martin?
Stay down back there. We got company.
It's these they want. Let me go to them.
-What are those?
Beryllium crystals.
The Mother Ship cannot fire
its lasers without them.
Then there's no way you're going
to give those back. Who's that?
That's Philip, the Leader's envoy.
He was my people's greatest hope.
A great warrior turned jurist.
He became a man of peace.
You could have fooled me.
Then he had a brother?
He did. He died in battle.
His name was Martin.
Thanks, that's all | need to know.
You get back and take care of her.
I've ordered a laser Jeep.
Just remember,
| want Donovan for myself.
Donovan, you're dead!
Do you hear me?
You killed my brother and for that,
I kill you!
No doors and no windows.
This could get tight.
Why does he think
you killed his brother Martin?
| don't know, but he does.
Can we run for it?
No way, they'd just cut us down.
So what do we do now?
-We fight.
What about Glenda and my baby?
Willie!
Better take Glenda and the baby back
further into the building.
-They'll be safer there.
Yes, Mike.
You might want to go with them.
No, | will defend my family.
We'll be glad for the company.
You know how to use that thing?
Sure.
Easy.
-He is hungry, Willie.
l know.
There must be some around here.
Hush, my pretty baby.
Wantu Willie will find you
something to eat.
| found one!
Are the rodents any good here
this time of year?
| do not know, I'm a vegetarian.
Gee, I...
| wish | had my blender.
Do not worry, it will be fine.
He is a big boy.
Can we get out of this?
Of course. Mike has rescued us
from far worse many times.
| hate the killing.
Why can there not be peace for my baby?
Would you like one? They're delicious.
| came for information, not hors d'oeuvres.
Your orders are being carried out
this very moment.
Philip will die with his boots on,
in combat with the enemy.
And you'll be handling
the assignment personally?
No. I've selected an expert
in political assassination.
Who could be more expert than you?
Angela.
Yes, she requested the mission herself.
It seems that she and Philip
are old friends.
-Much like you and I.
Yes, ina way.
In a few hours, you'll be
our new commanding officer.
It should never have taken this long.
I must give you credit, Lydia.
You're more power hungry than | thought.
It will be a pleasure to serve under you.
Yes. | know
| can always count on your loyalty.
Let me know the moment
Angela returns with the corpse.
Philip should have left us
when he had the chance.
He made a fatal mistake.
He trusted you.
And you trusted me.
Why won't you let
the laser Jeeps destroy the building?
They would also destroy
the beryllium crystals.
Besides it would be over too quickly
for Donovan.
And | want to kill him slowly
with my bare hands.
-Then let's rush the building.
Not yet. I'm in no hurry.
Donovan knows there's no way
out of there.
All he can do now is sit there
and wonder when he will die.
How long do we have to wait?
Don't worry.
Your time for killing
will come soon enough.
And you'll get your revenge.
Yes.
And so will I.
Why don't they do something?
This is driving me crazy.
That's exactly what it's supposed to do.
Look, just stay cool.
You don't want to lose it now.
I can't let them kill my son.
Il could talk to them.
| could give them the crystals.
Please!
Please!
Please don't kill my baby.
Cover me.
There was no reason for that.
He was surrendering.
He's still alive.
Why did Donovan save him?
I don't know.
He is a strange one.
He's a leader who's willing
to risk his life to save one of ours.
In our culture,
a leader like that would be shot.
Yes, he would.
It makes you think.
It makes me think
he's either crazy or a fool.
Or a man of courage.
-l am sorry | lost the crystals.
It's okay.
| know what a guy will do for his kid.
Do you ever see your son?
No.
If my son survives,
| hope he will know men like you.
We're not doing anything special.
We're just fighting to save our homes.
Our planet.
Your world is a wonder.
It is worth fighting for.
All right, Angela, the waiting is over.
-Prepare to move in.
Yes, sir.
Angela.
Under no circumstances
is that child to be harmed.
-You can't expect...
l can expect
and order that the child survive.
What do you care that a traitor's son dies?
| don't make war on children.
You have your orders.
And remind them
Donovan is to be left to me.
Do you have children of your own?
No.
| mean, except for him.
Perhaps one day.
There will never be a one day.
Yes, there will. You must have faith.
What is faith? | have never heard of it.
Yes...
Faith is when you truly believe
that what you hope and wish
will come true.
How can you believe in a hope, a wish?
You must have faith.
Here they come again.
Kyle.
How you doing?
I've been worse.
I can't remember when.
-I'll make it.
Sure.
We all will.
Mike...
-It's been fun.
lt has for me, too.
It's not over yet.
You have the crystals. Let's finish it.
You really do love the killing, don't you?
That's what war is all about.
People die, civilizations are destroyed.
And it's about revenge.
Or have you forgotten the man
that coldly tortured
and murdered your brother?
No...
| haven't forgotten.
Donovan!
Donovan!
Yeah?
-| can obliterate this warehouse.
What's stopping you?
| don't wish to see the infant
or its parents harmed.
It's you | want. You murdered my brother!
Your brother was my friend.
Diana had him killed.
You're a liar. Are you also a coward?
Make your play. Find out.
I'll meet you unarmed. We'll settle this.
Just you and me.
If you win, you go free.
We all go free.
Yes, you have my word.
Mike!
-You can't trust him.
We have no other choice.
Philip was a great warrior on our planet.
We're not on your planet now.
We're on mine.
If | die, let them go.
-But you can't...
That's an order!
-You chose the wrong person to kill.
Your brother was my friend.
Is that why you murdered him?
Martin could never have been your friend.
He was no traitor.
She had him killed
because he was working with us.
He was tired of the killing.
He thought we could live in peace.
He would never turn against his own.
You disgust me.
-I'm going to kill all of you.
Put down the laser.
-There'll be no more killing today.
You're wrong, Philip.
You and Donovan will kill each other
in combat.
-My tribe will finally have revenge.
You'll never get away with it.
-Diana will...
This is her idea.
She killed your traitorous brother.
-Forgive me.
| already have.
How touching.
No one Is going to kill my baby.
Looks like | owe my life to the people
I came to kill.
What was done was done
because of Martin.
-He was my friend.
Yes.
-I'm beginning to believe so.
All he wanted was peace.
For now,
there's been enough killing.
There are no words.
None are needed.
Our planet.
Philip's shuttle should be here any minute.
They'll take you to an island
in the South Pacific
where Diana will never find you.
Just right.
What are you doing?
Making a bath for the baby.
But that's rock salt and motor oil.
Yes, it's very soothing.
Helps keep his scales moist.
See, he already loves his
uncle.
Come on.
Yes.
Your Wantu will always protect you.
You will never be alone.
Neither will I.
That must be Angela with Philip's body.
rill see to it that you both
have a lavish funeral.
| wouldn't joke.
You forget who is in command.
| couldn't forget that.
Guards, put Adjutant Lydia under arrest.
You've gone insane. What's the charge?
For ordering the murder
of the Inspector General.
You have no proof.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
Ji make sure there are neo survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
Who was killed by the Resistance?
Philip!
What's the matter?
You both look surprised to see me.
Did you kill Donovan? Where's Angela?
| had Donovan in my sights
and your escort, Angela, got in the way.
She won't be coming back.
Donovan proved to be
a formidable adversary.
So I'll be staying a while.
It may take a long time.

He was loyal to the Leader.
-If you say so.
Il do!
I'm going to kill the man
who murdered him.
Only him? What about the rest
of the Resistance?
I'll leave them to you.
Have you ever done this before?
| helped with my own kid,
but Glenda's not...
-Not human.
Yeah.
How much different could it be?
Come on, sit down here.
Shouldn't somebody be
boiling some water or something?
No water.
Like I said, no water.
Willie?
Yes?
-Glenda and | were wondering...
What?
Our child will need a Wantu.
Especially since he will be a stranger
on this planet.
Yes, you're right.
| suggest you choose Mike Donovan.
He is a hero.
Wait a minute, I'll get it. What's a Wantu?
No, no, Mr. Kyle, a Wantu ts like
a second father, a friend, a teacher
-rolled into one.
A role model.
Actually, | was thinking of you, Willie.
Me? You want me?
| think you'd make a great Wantu.
I'm going to have a baby.
And a family.
Is this 1t?
All right, this is it. Let's get busy.
It is coming.
I'm very busy, Diana.
What was it you wanted?
-I've been thinking...
Incredible. A new experience for you.
-You are charming.
Don't waste my time.
Philip has me running circuit checks
on every electrical and magnetic board
on the ship.
What? A line officer doing manual labor?
It's disgusting. | only hope
he and Donovan kill each other.
Brilliant.
-What?
The plan you just thought of.
Plan?
Yes, it is brilliant.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
I'll make sure there are no survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
Do it. That's an order.
You amaze me, Lydia.
That's because
I'm your commanding officer.
ft is brilliant.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
Ji make sure there are neo survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
That's it.
Now keep pushing.
You're doing fine.
Her toes are curling.
That means it is time.
Concentrate. You can do it.
Push.
That's fine.
| think | can see its head.
I think.
Just one more, then you can rest.
It's a...
It's...
It's an egg.
Man, this | got to see.
We must work quickly.
Mike, help me remove some shell quickly.
He is beautiful.
Robert, you have a son.
| wish we had some champagne
to celebrate,
but under the circumstances,
I think this is going to have to do.
Donovan!
What is it?
It's Martin.
It's Martin.
| thought you told me Martin was dead?
He is. Diana killed him.
Donovan.
Martin?
Stay down back there. We got company.
It's these they want. Let me go to them.
-What are those?
Beryllium crystals.
The Mother Ship cannot fire
its lasers without them.
Then there's no way you're going
to give those back. Who's that?
That's Philip, the Leader's envoy.
He was my people's greatest hope.
A great warrior turned jurist.
He became a man of peace.
You could have fooled me.
Then he had a brother?
He did. He died in battle.
His name was Martin.
Thanks, that's all | need to know.
You get back and take care of her.
I've ordered a laser Jeep.
Just remember,
| want Donovan for myself.
Donovan, you're dead!
Do you hear me?
You killed my brother and for that,
I kill you!
No doors and no windows.
This could get tight.
Why does he think
you killed his brother Martin?
| don't know, but he does.
Can we run for it?
No way, they'd just cut us down.
So what do we do now?
-We fight.
What about Glenda and my baby?
Willie!
Better take Glenda and the baby back
further into the building.
-They'll be safer there.
Yes, Mike.
You might want to go with them.
No, | will defend my family.
We'll be glad for the company.
You know how to use that thing?
Sure.
Easy.
-He is hungry, Willie.
l know.
There must be some around here.
Hush, my pretty baby.
Wantu Willie will find you
something to eat.
| found one!
Are the rodents any good here
this time of year?
| do not know, I'm a vegetarian.
Gee, I...
| wish | had my blender.
Do not worry, it will be fine.
He is a big boy.
Can we get out of this?
Of course. Mike has rescued us
from far worse many times.
| hate the killing.
Why can there not be peace for my baby?
Would you like one? They're delicious.
| came for information, not hors d'oeuvres.
Your orders are being carried out
this very moment.
Philip will die with his boots on,
in combat with the enemy.
And you'll be handling
the assignment personally?
No. I've selected an expert
in political assassination.
Who could be more expert than you?
Angela.
Yes, she requested the mission herself.
It seems that she and Philip
are old friends.
-Much like you and I.
Yes, ina way.
In a few hours, you'll be
our new commanding officer.
It should never have taken this long.
I must give you credit, Lydia.
You're more power hungry than | thought.
It will be a pleasure to serve under you.
Yes. | know
| can always count on your loyalty.
Let me know the moment
Angela returns with the corpse.
Philip should have left us
when he had the chance.
He made a fatal mistake.
He trusted you.
And you trusted me.
Why won't you let
the laser Jeeps destroy the building?
They would also destroy
the beryllium crystals.
Besides it would be over too quickly
for Donovan.
And | want to kill him slowly
with my bare hands.
-Then let's rush the building.
Not yet. I'm in no hurry.
Donovan knows there's no way
out of there.
All he can do now is sit there
and wonder when he will die.
How long do we have to wait?
Don't worry.
Your time for killing
will come soon enough.
And you'll get your revenge.
Yes.
And so will I.
Why don't they do something?
This is driving me crazy.
That's exactly what it's supposed to do.
Look, just stay cool.
You don't want to lose it now.
I can't let them kill my son.
Il could talk to them.
| could give them the crystals.
Please!
Please!
Please don't kill my baby.
Cover me.
There was no reason for that.
He was surrendering.
He's still alive.
Why did Donovan save him?
I don't know.
He is a strange one.
He's a leader who's willing
to risk his life to save one of ours.
In our culture,
a leader like that would be shot.
Yes, he would.
It makes you think.
It makes me think
he's either crazy or a fool.
Or a man of courage.
-l am sorry | lost the crystals.
It's okay.
| know what a guy will do for his kid.
Do you ever see your son?
No.
If my son survives,
| hope he will know men like you.
We're not doing anything special.
We're just fighting to save our homes.
Our planet.
Your world is a wonder.
It is worth fighting for.
All right, Angela, the waiting is over.
-Prepare to move in.
Yes, sir.
Angela.
Under no circumstances
is that child to be harmed.
-You can't expect...
l can expect
and order that the child survive.
What do you care that a traitor's son dies?
| don't make war on children.
You have your orders.
And remind them
Donovan is to be left to me.
Do you have children of your own?
No.
| mean, except for him.
Perhaps one day.
There will never be a one day.
Yes, there will. You must have faith.
What is faith? | have never heard of it.
Yes...
Faith is when you truly believe
that what you hope and wish
will come true.
How can you believe in a hope, a wish?
You must have faith.
Here they come again.
Kyle.
How you doing?
I've been worse.
I can't remember when.
-I'll make it.
Sure.
We all will.
Mike...
-It's been fun.
lt has for me, too.
It's not over yet.
You have the crystals. Let's finish it.
You really do love the killing, don't you?
That's what war is all about.
People die, civilizations are destroyed.
And it's about revenge.
Or have you forgotten the man
that coldly tortured
and murdered your brother?
No...
| haven't forgotten.
Donovan!
Donovan!
Yeah?
-| can obliterate this warehouse.
What's stopping you?
| don't wish to see the infant
or its parents harmed.
It's you | want. You murdered my brother!
Your brother was my friend.
Diana had him killed.
You're a liar. Are you also a coward?
Make your play. Find out.
I'll meet you unarmed. We'll settle this.
Just you and me.
If you win, you go free.
We all go free.
Yes, you have my word.
Mike!
-You can't trust him.
We have no other choice.
Philip was a great warrior on our planet.
We're not on your planet now.
We're on mine.
If | die, let them go.
-But you can't...
That's an order!
-You chose the wrong person to kill.
Your brother was my friend.
Is that why you murdered him?
Martin could never have been your friend.
He was no traitor.
She had him killed
because he was working with us.
He was tired of the killing.
He thought we could live in peace.
He would never turn against his own.
You disgust me.
-I'm going to kill all of you.
Put down the laser.
-There'll be no more killing today.
You're wrong, Philip.
You and Donovan will kill each other
in combat.
-My tribe will finally have revenge.
You'll never get away with it.
-Diana will...
This is her idea.
She killed your traitorous brother.
-Forgive me.
| already have.
How touching.
No one Is going to kill my baby.
Looks like | owe my life to the people
I came to kill.
What was done was done
because of Martin.
-He was my friend.
Yes.
-I'm beginning to believe so.
All he wanted was peace.
For now,
there's been enough killing.
There are no words.
None are needed.
Our planet.
Philip's shuttle should be here any minute.
They'll take you to an island
in the South Pacific
where Diana will never find you.
Just right.
What are you doing?
Making a bath for the baby.
But that's rock salt and motor oil.
Yes, it's very soothing.
Helps keep his scales moist.
See, he already loves his
uncle.
Come on.
Yes.
Your Wantu will always protect you.
You will never be alone.
Neither will I.
That must be Angela with Philip's body.
rill see to it that you both
have a lavish funeral.
| wouldn't joke.
You forget who is in command.
| couldn't forget that.
Guards, put Adjutant Lydia under arrest.
You've gone insane. What's the charge?
For ordering the murder
of the Inspector General.
You have no proof.
When Donovan and Philip fight,
Ji make sure there are neo survivors.
The Leader will believe
Philip was killed by the Resistance.
Who was killed by the Resistance?
Philip!
What's the matter?
You both look surprised to see me.
Did you kill Donovan? Where's Angela?
| had Donovan in my sights
and your escort, Angela, got in the way.
She won't be coming back.
Donovan proved to be
a formidable adversary.
So I'll be staying a while.
It may take a long time.
