Good evening. I'm Howard K. Smith, and this is the state of the war tonight.
In Athens, the cradle of democracy was once again shaken...
as the Visitors took command of that city.
As has been the case throughout the world...
the Visitors declared martial law...
and began rounding up suspected opposition leaders.
At this hour, the fate of Gregory Cannis, the head of the Pan-Hellenic Resistance...
remains unknown.
On this side of the Atlantic, the news is much brighter...
as Resistance efforts in cities and towns across the nation continue to grow.
In Miami, Tampa, and Key West...
residents fought the invaders to a standstill...
thanks in large part to this woman, Janet Weinberg...
a computer programmer from Daytona Beach.
She led a raid on a detention camp...
in which over 250 American captives were freed.
Ms. Weinberg has been awarded this week's...
Freedom Network Medal Of Valor for her distinguished act of bravery.
And that's where we stand tonight.
From the Freedom Network in New York, our hopes are with you.
Good night.
Never relax.
You got to be more careful, there's a war going on.
I thought we were supposed to have faith in each other.
Faith is for nuns and amateurs.
Come on, we've got three minutes to meet the munitions truck.
The truck is approaching.
Prepare to test the force field.
Now, a little surprise for the Resistance.
It works.
What happened to the truck?
Diana's got herself a new toy.
Come on.
What happened?
The computer, it's gone into overload.
And the force field?
Temporarily down.
The binary code can't sustain itself. I think we need a relay within the city.
You think?
I want someone who knows.
Nathan Bates called. He seemed upset.
He demanded a meeting with you right away.
Tell him I'll be there within the hour.
Meanwhile, prepare Jacob for interrogation.
- Interrogation? - That's what I said.
They are not lizards.
Will you stop it?
It's okay, you're all right. It's only a dream.
- Just a dream. - Yeah.
Everything's fine.
You're with me now.
A relay at Science Frontiers? I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
I'm not about to let you set up a force field that'll trap me in my own city.
Of course not.
I'll provide access...
a tunnel through the force field...
giving you absolute control of all shipments in and out of the city.
Think of the profits.
I'll need proof that this so-called tunnel works.
And a personal code that makes my use of it failsafe.
I knew we'd come to terms.
I've begun to develop a certain faith in your practicality.
I didn't say soft soap, I said proof.
You can prove it for yourself.
You can create your own personal code by using any random combination...
- of four letters. - Only four?
Given all possible combinations...
the chances of someone breaching security...
are half a million to one.
I'll have a room set aside in the sub-basement.
- Then we have a deal? - Yes.
By the way, only Galen, my chief systems technician...
- knows how to install it. - Very good.
I'll expect him tonight.
Congratulations. You've made the best choice...
for both of us.
That is the man we are looking for.
The trouble with you is, you don't understand, do you?
You'll give me the information I want or you're going out of here in a trash bag.
Take it easy, let him go.
- I want him. - No.
Go on outside. Cool off. Take a hike.
You know, you're in big trouble.
I'm okay, but my friend's a little nuts, know what I mean?
I don't know how long I can hold him off.
- He wants to hurt me. - No.
He wants to kill you.
I've seen him do it. It's not a pretty sight.
So why don't you talk to me? I'll see what I can do.
- What do you want? - You're the head military attaché.
You must know the name of the scientist who's behind this force field.
He's on the Mother Ship. His name is...
Jacob, you don't understand.
I need the force field in place more than I need you.
I am not afraid to die.
Unfortunately, your choice isn't that easy. I won't let you die.
I've had it with your pacifism. You've run out of time.
I won't let you make me your tool for destruction.
Tool.
That's a very interesting choice of words...
for someone about to undergo the conversion process.
Did you think your age and status would exempt you from torture?
The choice is simple: Cooperate, or be broken.
Commander to the bridge. Call from Earth, priority three.
I'd hate to have to make you an example...
to those who put individual conscience above duty to State.
Jacob is a genius, and the father of our technology.
- With a PhD in death. - No.
He is against war. He's a confirmed pessimist.
- Pacifist. - Yes, that.
We have to get him down here before Diana puts up that force field...
and permanently cuts us off.
You're thinking what I'm thinking?
We're gonna raid Diana's little playpen.
No comparison.
Comparison?
It's no match.
You're much prettier.
Sorry. I didn't know I'd do that.
That makes two of us.
I think you should do it more often.
Are you and Robin finding everything you need?
Yes. Your house is wonderful.
And we're grateful to you for letting us stay here.
It's just nice to have somebody around.
Especially you.
Listen, I got to into the city for a while, but I shouldn't be too long.
You want to go out when I come back?
Good.
Be ready about 7:30.
There's a little place I want to take you to. We can dance, have something to eat.
- Just kind of be together. - Just us?
Just us.
Elizabeth, was that Kyle?
Yes.
I wish you'd told me. I wanted to talk to him.
There's something I want to tell you. Just between us, okay?
You're probably going to think I'm crazy, but I think I'm in love with him.
Him?
Kyle.
I know it might make things awkward for you, but I can't help it.
I haven't felt this way about anybody in so long.
Not since your father.
You do like him, don't you?
Yes.
- He's very nice. - I know.
I also know the two of you are going to be great friends.
I'm so happy, I just had to tell you.
I'm glad you did.
Can I help you?
Who is this? What the devil's going on here?
Galen, I believe you have work to do.
Didn't you see the sign? This area is off-limits.
Off-limits?
I have a special security clearance. What are you talking about?
I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I was under the impression that I had a position of trust around here.
You do...
as long as you keep out of what doesn't concern you.
- Your rules? - My rules.
You never spoke to me like this before.
You never deserved it.
It's time you took a good hard look at where your loyalties are.
I run things around here as I see fit...
and I don't have to explain my actions to anybody.
I trust you don't have a problem with that.
I'm sorry. I was out of line.
- I just assumed that perhaps... - From now on, don't.
I've always liked you, Julie.
Don't do anything to change that.
We grab him, steal a fighter, land it there.
Outside city limits?
What happens if Diana's closed that sector off by the time we get back?
We'll deal with it then. Just be there.
LA's too risky. Your dad's security would detect us in a second.
Where do you want me?
Decker and Mulholland's the rendezvous point...
- 0500. - I'll get out there by afternoon.
I'm glad I caught you.
How's it going?
I'm not sure, but something's definitely going on.
I think Bates is cooperating somehow with Diana in erecting this force field.
There's a room in the lab I can't get clearance for.
Any idea what's in it?
Some kind of computer relay system.
We need that scientist more than we thought.
Can you get into that room?
Yeah, I can try. But you realize this is insanity, don't you?
Don't take any wooden computer chips.
In the garage.
Do you have a couple of minutes? I wanted to talk to you.
I'm sort of in a hurry.
- Got someplace I got to be. - Can I go with you?
Sorry, not this time.
Have you seen Elizabeth around?
No, not since this afternoon. Why?
No reason, just tell her I said goodbye.
Okay.
Take care.
Where's your pass?
All right. Go ahead.
- What are you doing in there? - I knew you'd be angry.
I'm not angry, I'm just...
I just had to talk to you. It's important.
You don't belong out here.
- What am I going to do with you? - You could send me back.
- I could walk back. - No way.
What is so critical that it couldn't wait?
First you have to promise.
- Promise what? - Never to tell my mother I told you.
- You're not making any sense. - Just promise.
Okay, I promise.
Now what is it?
She's in love with you.
You stowed away to come out here to tell me that?
Because it's wrong, then...
for me to love you, too.
Robin's nice.
But there's nothing going on between us.
- It's my fault. - No, it isn't.
Feelings just happen, they're nobody's fault.
I like you.
But even if there were no you...
I wouldn't be in love with your mother.
Can you understand that?
Yes, I can.
Good.
I hope you're comfortable now.
I'd like you to arm the master computer.
I'm as concerned about what you'd like as you are about my comfort.
You've had your chance! Prepare the converter.
I'd like to go on record. You're making a terrible mistake.
Jacob was head of the Institute of Science...
decorated by the Leader as a hero of the State.
- He must be respected. - Respect?
- I'm more interested in results. - The Leader won't be pleased.
Somehow I knew that you were going to say that.
Start.
Increase the intensity.
So much garbage.
More.
Good. Now complete the code.
After them! Don't let them get off this ship!
Attention! Aliens on board.
Seal all entrances to the flight area.
- Come on, move it. - They are armed. Shoot to kill.
You ready for this?
He's stone blind.
Attention! Aliens on board. Seal all entrances to the flight area.
They are armed.
- Which way is the flight deck? - That way.
They're heading for flight deck number seven!
Door's jammed.
- Let's blow it. - Don't.
If you destroy the door, you seal the flight deck.
You got any suggestions?
- What is this? It weighs a ton. - Surborium, a metal you lack on Earth.
- Great. We need explosives. - Not necessarily.
- Try access zone P. - They're probably on the flight deck.
Come on.
Here they come.
Here we go.
They've stolen a fighter and escaped.
In spite of your security, Commander.
My security was hardly a problem compared to what I've seen here today.
I'll deal with you later. Close the force field.
Do you really think you can threaten me?
This entire war effort has been a nasty joke.
I'm warning you.
I want that fighter destroyed.
Either blow it out of the sky or drive it into the force field.
I know the facts, chapter and verse.
If I were to report them to the Leader...
You would not survive long enough to enjoy his reaction.
We've got two bandits closing fast.
- It seems like our guests have arrived. - Why don't you make them welcome.
Come on in, fellas, the door is open.
- I thought you were a marksman. - Just fly the damn ship.
- Keep it steady. - The object of the game is not to get hit.
Come on in, suckers.
Fry one lizard.
- One down, one to go. - What a waste of life.
Better them than us.
Can't shake him.
I thought you said the object of the game was not to get hit.
The game's not over yet.
What's that?
We're approaching the force field. Pull up!
Not quite yet.
We'll never make it.
All right, hold on.
- Donovan! - That's the only way to fly.
It's no use. We're going in.
There. The earth relay is in place.
How do I activate my tunnel?
By simply typing in your four-letter code.
Excellent. I'll call you if I need you.
Damn it, Nathan. Move to the right.
Mr. Chiang, can you hear me?
Yes, sir.
- Is the vehicle ready? - Ready, sir.
Good. Send him through.
Excellent.
My compliments to Diana.
Congratulations. Not everyone can crash like that.
Beats getting blown out of the sky.
- Probably already got a fix on us. - We're a long way from the Decker LZ.
- The fugitives have been located. - Where?
Approaching the force field in the northwest sector.
Then I have them. Alert all combat patrols in the area.
I want them dead.
I'll see if I can raise Julie.
Okay, old timer, let's sit down.
Wilderness to Shiloh.
Do you read? Over.
Wilderness to Shiloh. Come in.
I read you five-by-five. What's going on?
- We've got trouble out here. - What are you talking about?
- We're down. - In one piece?
We're fine.
Tell Kyle we're in the Santa Clara River Valley northwest of Newhall.
Hold on. Somebody here you ought to talk to.
Mike, it's me. Are you all right?
We're okay, but old man's blind. No way we can make Decker.
You don't have to. Can you get to the l-5 where it meets the county line?
- We could try. Why? - I saw the whole operation in the lab.
Bates has a computer-generated safe corridor...
at the l-5, right through the force field.
- Can you get us through it? - Lf I can crack his code.
Give it your best shot. We're on our way.
Get Kyle and give him the coordinates.
- Julie? - Yeah?
May I guard your body?
No thanks, Willie. I think I can take care of myself.
I'm not what I once was. I slow you down.
We'll make it.
Find somewhere to take a five. I'm gonna check over there.
You were foolish to bring me here.
What is it you want from me?
We need you to destroy the force field Diana set up.
I am a pacifist.
I will not be a party to war or conquest.
We didn't ask for this war. You invaded us. We're fighting for our lives.
I cannot help you any more than I could help Diana and the Leader.
And they betrayed me.
They used my discoveries for destruction.
Then this is your chance to make up for all that.
You don't understand.
I am not a killer.
I will not kill.
- I need to lie down. - Lie down here.
We're not asking you to kill.
We need your help to keep us alive.
Let's get out of here. I don't like it, it's too quiet.
Troopers. Down.
- What's she doing here? - Relax, it's a long story.
It wasn't his fault.
Elias radioed us your coordinates and destination.
It took me two hours to find you.
I wouldn't have found you at all if it wasn't for her.
- She had a feeling you'd be in this canyon. - I knew.
That child. She's one of us.
- I thought he couldn't see. - How do you know about Elizabeth?
Look, on her hand.
The mark of Zon.
The symbol of our faith inextinguishable.
Perhaps you will be my eyes.
This is all terrific, but they've got to be after us in battalions. Let's go.
Wilderness, this is Shiloh. You copy?
Shiloh, this is Wilderness. You got us. Go ahead.
How close are you to the l-5?
Close, but someone out here has other plans for us.
Just keep going. But don't cross until you hear from me. Out.
Four letters, any sequence.
Shoot.
- How far now? - Five minutes, tops.
Look, more bandits.
Okay, we take the motocross approach, then.
Shiloh, this is Wilderness.
Do you read?
Come in.
Do you read?
Come in.
You really shouldn't be here. You know that.
Do you copy? Over.
Hang on.
Come on.
They're right behind us. Let's get a move on.
Hold up here.
Shiloh, this is Wilderness. It's now or never.
I can't get the code.
- Do you have any suggestions? - I can't help you.
Got any ideas, Kyle?
Kyle. Of course.
Go ahead, you got it.
Think you can get the old man through? Go on, take him.
Wait a minute. What if Julie was wrong?
At this point, it won't make a difference either way.
There they are!
You go on ahead.
No, just a little bit farther and we'll be safe.
No, I'll stay here.
Why?
I must end this terrible thing that I have created.
When Diana demanded that I complete the force field...
I preset her computer to focus its entire range of energy on this:
A ring of surborium.
The time has come. Listen to me.
You are the future.
Someday, Amon, the High Priest of Zon, will find you.
Now leave me.
Go.
Goodbye.
The force field! It's self-destructing.
He's gone.
How do you figure that one?
You don't.
You just thank whatever it is you believe in.
Let's go home.
You were right. Lydia's personal shuttle is gone.
- Where is she going? - To the Leader.
She made no attempt to camouflage her trail.
To our beloved Leader...
who will no doubt listen to her lies with the utmost attention.
He won't listen to her.
You have so much to learn.
- Is Lydia within scanning range? - Yes, Diana.
Put her on the screen.
Blow her out of the sky. You heard me.
