Good evening, I am Howard K. Smith. And this is the state of the war tonight.
Dateline Beijing.
The South China People's Resistance has engaged the Alien Third Corps...
and fierce fighting is raging along The Great Wall, as we go to press.
Meanwhile, heavy fighting is also being reported from Caracas, Venezuela...
over control of Lake Maracaibo and the many oil refineries there.
Here at home, there has been no change in the stalemate...
going on in the Gila River, east of Yuma, Arizona.
Paul Savage and his band of Resistance heroes...
continue to hold the wilderness high ground...
against attempts of alien armies of the west to dislodge them.
This week, the Freedom Network honors Anna Horowitz...
who heroically lead a contingent of gray panthers...
into the Visitor Armory at Charleston, South Carolina...
where they reworked the control panels of 16 skyfighters...
with baseball bats before getting away.
And that's where we stand tonight.
From the Freedom Network in New York, our hopes are with you.
Good night.
Excellent, Klaus.
Whose idea was it to make her look like me?
Just a little harmless humor.
Humorless harm seems closer, wouldn't you agree, Nathan?
- This was supposed to be a test. - It was. She failed.
Thank you, Klaus. You may remove the candidate.
I'll be in my office if you need me.
Don't be put off, Nathan.
It was just a drone. A conscript for our personal security.
You have basic training for your army, don't you?
We don't kill them if they don't make it.
You're more tolerant of weakness.
Which is why my people are better equipped to handle crimes...
against our legation than yours.
Is that why you called me over here?
We need the right to pursue suspects anywhere in the city.
I may have been born at night, Diana, but I wasn't born last night.
I'm only asking for the right to self-defense.
The right to send a goon squad into my city is hardly self-defense.
Not a goon squad, a single, discreet, security officer would suffice.
The answer is no.
I've seen enough discretion for one evening.
The legation is your concern. The city is mine.
Let's leave it that way.
These are slides taken last Tuesday of the Visitor Youth Corps.
I am sorry, Mike. Looks like Sean is definitely into it.
Its nothing I can't change. Who's that?
Klaus. The Visitors call him The Exterminator.
Sounds like you've seen him before.
He worked out of Berlin when the Visitors came the first time.
I had business there before I joined your group.
He's not pretty, but he is effective.
So why demote him to the kiddie patrol?
Don't be fooled. He has a purpose here.
To make good little killers out of whomever they give him.
- Not my son. - Don't be dumb, Gooder.
As long he has Sean, you don't stand a chance.
He's their guru, their Zen master.
Humans, runaways, aliens, he whips them all into shape.
I know Sean.
They've got him on something.
Mike, wait.
You heard Tyler. He's a trained killer.
Right. That killer has my son.
Don't you see Diana's just using Sean to push your buttons?
Maybe.
But there are some things I can't walk away from.
Just be careful. Okay?
You surprised me, Elizabeth.
I'm sorry, it's just that you promised I could go outside.
I know.
But it's too dangerous for you, right now.
There are too many Visitors out there to go taking chances just yet.
I'll be all right. I could even go alone.
It's just that I've been cooped up for weeks.
I don't want you going alone.
We'll talk later, okay?
Hi.
I just stopped by to see how you're doing.
Fine. I mean, I'm glad you came.
- Interested in taking a spin? - A spin?
You know, I'll give you the Bates' tour of LA.
Show you the sights.
I don't know.
Come on.
I got an extra helmet.
Just relax.
Not that relaxed. Hold on.
Just, you know...
relax a little.
State your business.
Delivery for the kitchen. See?
Rodents.
No one told me.
Great, I come all this way, and no gate pass.
When will you get your act together?
Just hold on. Let me check.
I can't hang around here while you scrounge up some kind of authorization.
I said, hold on.
Hold on, yourself. When you get it together, give me a call.
Let me see them.
They're the big, furry kind. Special order for Diana.
I guess the big brass are the same all over.
You do the dirty work, they get the fringes.
Go on. Take one. I'll tell the chef one got away.
Go on. Just remember you didn't see this, right?
See what?
Don't talk with your mouth full.
Thanks for the ride.
Can I buy you a creamsickle?
A creamsickle?
We're gonna ride one of them now?
Come on. Quit kidding around.
Orange or raspberry?
Orange.
You got it. Why don't you wait here. I'll be right back.
Come back here. Where's your ticket?
My mother!
Where's your ticket?
What seems to be the trouble?
She just rolled right in there without paying.
Just calm down, you hear me?
Let's check this out.
Get on!
Somebody stop them!
Ready. Strike.
Take your position for silent strike.
In one motion, you move into the coil.
Every beast of prey must master the silent strike.
Remember you are one with Ravak.
Do not breathe.
You wait.
And watch.
And look for a vulnerable spot.
A weakness in your opponent's eye.
Your hand is a deadly fang.
So wait and strike!
Wait for it.
He's cunning.
And watch for a weakness.
You beat one of our own.
That is almost never done.
Follow me.
It's me. It's your father.
What do you want?
What do I want? I came for you.
Guards!
He's getting away.
- Let me go after him. - Yes. I want Donovan dead.
You shouldn't have come.
Wrong.
I'm giving this party.
- What are you doing? - I am waxing the floor.
I think we lost them.
No, Dad. Klaus can find anyone.
He taught you to give up pretty easily, didn't he?
He'll find us. He'll kill you.
- He'll need a lot of help. - No.
He won't need any help.
You're back early, Mr. Chiang?
- Any problem with Roller? - None, sir.
He went peacefully.
However there has been trouble at the Sixth Street Cinema.
The young girl is reported to have displayed...
some rather extraordinary talents.
Beating out three men without even laying a hand on them.
How old was this girl?
Perhaps 16.
It can't be Elizabeth. I showed you her picture.
She can't be more than 8.
It is not the girl alone that bought the matter to my attention.
I'm told in the end, she rode off with your son.
I see.
Now, that casts a different shade, doesn't it?
I want you to find him, Mr. Chiang.
And let me know.
I have already begun.
- Yeah, hello? - Julie? Elizabeth still hasn't turned up.
I was just calling to see if you had any better luck.
I just got back from my place. She's not there either.
You don't think the Visitors got her?
Let's just hope she wandered off.
She's been begging me to take her out and show her the city lately.
Maybe I should have listened to her.
No point in blaming yourself.
Ham's doing some checking. Willie and I are on our way out too, so...
Call me the minute you hear from her, all right?
Yeah, sure. Bye-bye.
- You all right? - Sir.
I mean sure.
You want to tell me how you did it?
Did what?
Knocked down those guys at the theater without laying a hand on them.
Did you hear that?
- Hear what? - I'm not sure.
- It sounded like a horse. - Could be.
There's an equestrian center here in the park.
Kyle, look.
Have it your way.
Calm down.
Everything's okay.
I see you caught him.
He escaped when he was being saddled.
Is that so?
We'll take him off your hands now.
I don't think so. He looks pretty spooked.
I am not asking, I am telling you. We'll take him.
- All right. - Kyle, don't let him.
Let's get them.
Get it going.
I want them.
This house is in a safe area.
Ham'll be by a little later with some provisions.
You want to tell me about that little display that I saw back there.
Silent strike. It's called Ravak. It's like karate.
No, it's not. They're teaching you combat aggression.
Dad, it's not like you think.
Klaus is a guide. A master.
He's taught me things that have really helped.
I used to get upset a lot. I'd cry.
I don't do that anymore.
It's not wrong if you cry.
I want you to feel.
Things are clearer to me now.
Not clearer, simpler.
When you get older, you realize life isn't that simple.
Klaus says that parents confuse us. He's right.
Ravak is the way.
What have they done to you?
Drugs?
- What's this? - Youth Corps pin.
You look like you could kill me, Sean.
That's one of the tests.
Many have done it.
I can see the difference here.
I altered the DNA pattern just a little bit and the results remain the same.
Nathan, I think this can wait.
Diana, I wasn't expecting you.
I'm returning to the Mother Ship for this evening.
I thought you should know that our legation was violated again this afternoon.
That'd be a change.
Of course, you wouldn't know anything about it, would you?
Dr. Parrish has been with me all afternoon.
How cozy.
I suppose you want me to do something about it.
No, I want you to let me do something about it.
The answer is still no.
Then I want you to arrest Mike Donovan...
for assault with intent to kill and criminal trespass.
- Donovan? - Do you have any proof?
Or are you sending me fishing for rubber boots?
I don't care about proof. I care about punishment.
If you see Donovan, tell him that when I go fishing, I eat what I catch.
I bet you do.
Don't break the law.
Speaking of the law, Diana, do you still have Donovan's son, Sean?
There isn't no one with us who doesn't want to be there.
Nice to see you, Julie. Nathan.
Remember when we took this?
The last time we were together, your mom said we were so much alike.
Maybe we could...
Return to the Embassy, Sean.
- You don't have to listen to him, Sean. - Leave this to me.
- Where's your father? - Dead.
Get in.
I said, get in.
- Where are we going? - Never mind.
You should be glad my father's dead.
You watch your mouth when you talk about your father.
- You didn't like him. - Like had nothing to do with it.
Your father and I saw things differently.
- He shouldn't have come after me. - You don't understand, do you?
He loved you. You were his son.
I'd have done the same thing.
- Thought you might like some breakfast. - Thank you.
When I woke up and you weren't here, I was frightened.
There's nothing to be scared of now.
No sign of Visitors anywhere.
Whenever you're ready, we'll take the horse back...
then go pick up my bike so I can finally get you home.
I'm sorry I keep causing you so much trouble.
Forget it.
You know, you're the strangest girl I've ever met.
Strange?
You still haven't told me how you did what you did...
yesterday at the theater.
- I don't really know. - You don't know?
The horse must be starving.
I think we better get going.
I don't want to crowd you.
I just wanted you to know...
that whenever you're ready to talk about it...
I'm ready to listen.
Thank you.
Good morning. How are you?
It looks as if the young girl who created that disturbance...
in the movie theater yesterday is the same as the one spotted in the park.
- Elizabeth? - Possibly.
I've requested confirmation.
I want you to remain in charge while I return to legation.
- Any word from Klaus? - None.
It's a pity your Ravak, master of discipline, displays so little himself.
I've always thought him to be an unstable personality.
I'll be sure to tell him as soon as he gets back.
Would you like me to make you something in the bender?
What? No, thanks, Willie. I'm really not in the mood to eat.
Robin, where did you come from?
- It is so good to see you. - Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.
Kyle, who I've been staying with, said I might find you here.
But I came by yesterday, and you were closed.
- Not Kyle Bates? - Yeah.
Where's Elizabeth?
Robin, there are couple of things I got to explain to you.
- Something's happened to her? - No, nothing's happened.
She's changed.
How do you mean?
She's not exactly a child anymore.
Then what exactly is she?
She's a beautiful young woman.
It's a really long story.
Why don't you sit down and I'll explain it to you.
- Thank you. - Thanks a lot.
Some detour. I'm sorry you had to go through this.
With luck, the Visitors were so interested in finding the horse...
they left my bike alone.
I just wanted to let you know...
that in a weird kind of a way I've really enjoyed all of this.
Yeah, me too.
You're really something, you know that?
You turn a movie theater into a disaster area.
You walk right up to a horse I can't get within ten feet of...
and you haven't got the slightest idea how you do it.
- I'm sorry. - No, don't be sorry.
You're something special.
You're the Star-child.
That's it, isn't it?
I don't understand, you are supposed to be eight.
Your mother...
Please. I don't want to be who I am. I thought we could just...
- Wait a minute. - Let me go.
No, not until I'm finished.
Look, I don't care who you are or what you do or where you came from.
I'm just glad you're here and now.
You're supposed to be dead.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
What are you doing here?
I was in the safe, I was looking for you, found your kid.
He told me they killed you and he hit me with something.
I came looking for Klaus. I thought I'd take him out and even the score.
Thanks.
I'm still going to get my kid back. You in or out?
- Gooder, he's going to get you killed. - Maybe.
But if he was your kid...
would you let them have him without a fight?
All right, I'll help you.
- On one condition. - What's that?
You go in my way.
Donovan didn't fortuitously escape...
he slipped right through your fingers.
I am not fond of failure, Klaus.
The game is not over.
I will find him and eliminate him.
That won't be necessary.
What do you mean?
Donovan will come to us on his own.
How did you find him?
He found us.
It seems that your students are more resourceful than you are.
Teach me more about Ravak.
Yes, Klaus.
Teach him what to do when his father comes back.
Two, three, four.
...ten.
- Get your ass in front of the gate. - Yes, sir.
Come this way with me. Come on.
You go to the back.
Yes, sir.
You're tenacious, Mr. Donovan.
And you're dead.
No!
You can't do it, can you?
Come to me.
Don't do it, Sean.
Here's your proof, Mr. Donovan. He's ours.
Or no one's.
Let's go.
I thought you'd never get here.
Diana won today...
but I am not giving up.
Not till I get my son back.
How could you be so thoughtless?
Come on. Cool out. I didn't twist her arm.
I think she wanted to come.
Didn't it occur to you we might have been going crazy...
trying to find you?
Please don't be angry with me.
You'd better go down and let your mother know you're all right.
- My mother? - Yeah. She found us. She's downstairs.
Mother?
It's really you.
Thank you.
Sweetness-and-light here said you wanted to see me.
That's right.
Thank you, Mr. Chiang. That will be all for now.
He really gets around.
I suppose the same could be said about you.
Just looking for laughs.
I want to know about the girl you were with yesterday afternoon.
What girl was that?
The girl at the Sixth Street Cinema.
The one who knocked the manager...
and two ushers into the middle of next Thursday.
Oh, yeah, that girl.
She really didn't have much to say.
That couldn't have been the Star-child, Elizabeth Maxwell, could it?
- Dad, eight-year-olds aren't my style. - Then who was it?
Sorry, Dad, I never kiss and tell.
I don't want any more smart remarks.
I want her name and I want it right now.
- Or so help me, Kyle... - Or what?
Cut me out of your will?
Go ahead.
I got no taste for blood money.
