Episode 1
Sean! Mike, take it easy.
I'm sorry.
-ls it time? -ln 20 minutes.
-I dreamt they killed him.
-Who, Sean? Did you get any sleep? I'm all right.
Let's go.
-Robert wants to see you in the lab.
-Another lizard show.
Sure got a lot of complaints.
We're wasting a lot of time with lab experiments.
-Got any better ideas? -We can't create a super-weapon.
Maybe manpower.
I'm telling you.
Remember the group you spoke to? We got volunteers.
It's gonna take more than manpower.
It'll take unity.
You're not big on unity, are you? -I'm used to working alone.
-Well, get unused to it.
We're a team.
-How's our production? -Right on schedule.
All right.
Let's open it up.
-Step down.
Watch your step.
-What's this about? It's the middle of the night.
Welcome to Visitor Orientation Center Number 9.
Please move quickly but safely inside.
All your questions will be answered.
We appreciate your cooperation.
The cleansing spray is harmless, and for our protection only.
-Have a pleasant visit.
-Next.
I followed them here the night they took my husband.
Check your watch.
-12:18.
-Two minutes.
My husband hid me.
He saved my life.
What is this place? Jenny, stay here.
Oh, my God! It's a processing plant.
They're shipping food! We're gonna close this supermarket down.
Let's go.
-You miss him, and we're lizard bait.
-I won't miss.
-I'll take those two.
-Say when.
Alert.
We have an emergency.
Hold the line.
Let's go! Go! Go! Our bullets are just bouncing off! Aim for the legs! Aim for the legs! Go back! Let's get out of here! Get the wounded.
She's badly wounded.
Go! Go! Start it up again.
Start the line.
Congratulations.
Your security measures are quite effective.
I should hope so.
There's no glory in rousting this rabble.
Take the wounded to the infirmary.
-Help! -Come on.
Easy.
Keep her head up.
Come on.
Move the truck.
Clear some tables off.
We need some supplies.
I need a splint over here.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
Hang on.
Where do you want him? Bed number 2.
Get some fluids into him.
Robin, clamp those bleeders.
I don't know how.
Never mind, I'll do it.
Put an IV in that guy.
-Where's Father Andrew? -He's busy.
-We're all busy.
-He's giving last rites.
Through this holy anointing, may the Lord pardon all your sins.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Donovan.
They mustn't win.
They can't.
They won't.
Promise me.
I promise.
All right.
Let's get her inside.
Easy, now.
I hit one and it didn't faze him.
Donovan's laser weapon is the only one that works.
It's our only one.
I hit one with an M-16, all it did was knock him down.
This defeat is gonna cost us -if we don't turn it around.
-What do you mean? People would help if they thought there's a chance.
These hit-and-run raids are useless.
We need a bonanza.
We need an event.
We? Since when did you join up? Never mind that.
He's right.
What does a priest know about strategy? The South African guerrillas taught me.
Let's just deal with what we can handle at the moment, to survive.
We need supplies and a real doctor.
I bet the Visitors look just like this.
Don't be stupid.
Everybody knows they're big reptiles.
-They are not.
-They are too.
They're not lizards.
They are.
They're ugly, creepy lizards.
Just like this.
Stop it, Polly.
-Give him a kiss.
-Stop it! Robin! Why is your sister so upset? I don't know.
I didn't do anything.
Polly's just teasing.
She's frustrated like all of us.
Kids tease and grownups get mean.
Oh, baby.
I wanna help.
I wanna say the right thing.
Tell me who the baby's father is.
Really, I just wanna help, that's all.
I know.
I just don't wanna have anything to do with him.
It was just an accident.
We'll see this through together.
Docking crew, prepare for arrival of Supreme Commander's craft.
Flight crew stand by for off-loading personnel.
Security escort, report to Shuttlecraft 93 preparing for departure in Bay 6.
No, Diana, I don't understand.
You promised me an interview with the president over two months ago.
I know, Kristine.
The bureaucracy drives me crazy too.
-Kristine, what a pleasant surprise! -Good to see you, John.
-Diana.
-Welcome to Los Angeles.
Kristine was requesting an interview with the U.
S.
president again.
I thought my people had taken care of that.
I'll see to it myself.
-ln the meantime, I bring good news.
-Really? You'll have exclusive coverage of one of the most important announcements of a lifetime.
Of all time.
Thank you.
I'm quite grateful.
Can you give me an idea of what it might be? Soon, my dear.
Very soon.
We'll keep you informed.
In the meantime you will be accorded every hospitality.
This event at the L.
A.
Medical Center will be the highlight of your career.
Get down.
It's Lizard City.
What's going on? Looks like Disneyland.
Must be a convention.
Let's get our medical supplies and get out of here.
You'll coordinate surveillance with your commanding designated sectors.
Breaches of security will be dealt with severely.
My men are aware of that, Diana.
All right.
Move out.
Well! Looks like you got kicked upstairs.
-I'm youth leader now.
-Good for you.
Head of the L.
A.
chapter of Friends of The Visitors.
Got security clearance.
No kidding? Pretty tough job.
Lot of pressure.
I got what you want.
Little pop, keep you on top.
Don't get greedy in there, okay? Never do.
You should light the hallway.
Diana placed us in the entourage.
You can follow with a minicam.
Dr.
Walker! Excuse me.
Dr.
Walker.
Kristine Walsh.
We met in Palm Springs.
I've been such an admirer I remember you, Ms.
Walsh.
You were a newswoman.
I'm still No, Ms.
Walsh.
You're certainly not a newswoman.
At best, a press secretary.
At worst, a collaborator.
I don't know what you've heard, but I'm doing my job.
I wonder how many times that phrase was used at the Nuremberg Trials.
That is untrue.
Ms.
Walsh, I'll tell you what is untrue.
It is untrue you're working for a benevolent regime.
Fascists have take over, and you're their administer of propaganda.
You've allowed personal ambition to corrupt you.
You no longer have credibility.
Good day.
Dr.
Kaufman to OR.
Dr.
Kaufman to OR, please.
Gary, check out those wimps.
Those are hot-shot intellectuals.
They'll probably graduate med school and marry sorority queens.
Excuse me.
I bet that you doctors operate on each other, right? See, school's a bunch of crap.
Do you like me? I don't think he likes me.
Kneel.
-Kneel.
-Get down there.
Do as you're told.
That's better.
You look very comfortable, why don't you stay there for a while? And while you're down there, why don't you clean my boots? No, no.
Not that way.
Lick them.
Mousies.
Mousies.
Mousies? I'm looking for little mousies.
Mousie! What the hell are you doing? Mousies.
Don't you ever be so stupid again.
Humans must never see us eat! Dr.
Walker.
We've been waiting for you.
-Don't ask me again.
-I can't promise.
It's too dangerous.
-lt's not easy for us.
-I'm a doctor, not a fighter.
We need doctors.
We need you.
I'm scared.
I've got a family.
What's going on? So many lizards.
Nobody's sure.
There's a rumor that John's coming.
You sure? That's what I heard.
I want the plans to the hospital.
I don't know.
-What do you mean? -Well, medicine's one thing Look, man, if we lose, the whole shooting match is lost.
We're all you got between the life you had and the one you're not gonna have.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
I trust you will have the president ready for the interview soon.
It would be much easier if I were supervising the conversion.
He's tough, but he'll be ours soon.
It's taking too long.
Conversion can be a long and difficult process.
Kristine is losing faith.
It's not as simple to tap their minds as it is their water resources.
One mistake and our Dr.
Walker will be a babbling idiot.
Brian, this is incredible.
I've never known people who lived in places like this.
Perhaps one day you will live like this.
Yeah, I know I will.
This way.
Colorado River to supply all of California.
In an exclusive interview recorded earlier today John, the Supreme Commander of the Visitors -She redefines the word smooth.
-You mean slippery.
Donovan's the expert.
I chose the Los Angeles Medical Center for my announcement.
I don't want to say much more at this time except that this announcement concerns a major medical breakthrough we've made.
A breakthrough that will relieve untold suffering on your planet.
Our gift to you.
This is it.
This is the event Donovan's talking about.
It's too big.
Security will be maximum plus.
-There will be a lot of heat.
-Nobody said we'd kick in the door.
Are there passes for the center? There are special passes issued at the last moment.
-How special? -Can you get one? I don't think so.
I have limited access at Security Headquarters and Steven said that passes will be impossible to duplicate.
Anything can be duplicated.
If we can expose their Supreme Commander on national TV International.
I mean, tear his phony face off right in front of the cameras we could turn this war around for good.
-Mark, you're a cop.
-Ex-cop.
-Elias, you're a hood.
-Ex-hood.
You two should be able to find the best counterfeiter around.
Pascal.
-Dan Pascal? -Yeah.
If he's still alive.
Find him.
We'll try.
Come on.
Nobody moves! All right, pick them up.
Clear the street.
Stay back.
Move on.
Move on.
Let's go.
It's all over now.
Move on.
Clear the area.
This is police business.
Clear the streets.
Clear the area.
Police business.
-Martin? -Yes.
Where's my son? -ln Section 34.
We can't get to him.
-You've got to.
-You got a picture of him? -I'll get you one.
What else do you need? Weapons.
Uniforms.
Too risky.
We have our own movement.
Our network is spreading.
We're dying.
If we lose you lose.
We need each other.
I can't get you weapons.
They're all accounted for.
Then get us uniforms.
All right.
I know what you're up against.
But I can't jeopardize our movement.
I want to help.
But This could change the entire complexion of the war.
What are you planning? It's better that you don't know.
Not yet.
For your own safety.
And for ours.
I want my son back, Martin.
This way.
Kristine.
Thank you for coming before your broadcast.
I want you to meet your guest.
Splendid.
Who is it? A very respected man in your country.
And I'm happy to say, a booster for us.
I know how pleased he is to appear with you.
Kristine Walsh, what a pleasure.
We met once before, Gerald Ford's home.
We played bridge after golf.
You made an impossible bid but you carried it off.
Gave us quite a lesson.
I do want to tell you what a wonderful job you're doing.
It's so important that we have you Well, well, well.
Hi.
What's going on here? Heavy security stuff, very hush-hush.
So how about it? I don't even know your name.
I'm Daniel.
What's yours? -Maggie.
-Hi.
So how about what? -Getting together.
-lf you mean a date, okay.
If you mean something more horizontal, no.
At least not yet.
Maggie's made contact with Daniel.
-We've got a problem.
-What problem? There's no way we can get a pass.
If one is missing, they'll change the whole lot.
We have to copy it without them knowing? -Right.
-Houdini couldn't do it.
-Maybe I can.
-How? My mother.
-Anybody ready for another? -No, thanks.
I think we've all had enough.
Think for yourself.
-Okay? -So far, so good.
Dan, we need the best or we're dead.
No one told Picasso how to paint.
Lay off.
-Tell Mr.
Dupres we're starting dinner.
-Yes, ma'am.
Come on.
Okay, go.
Mr.
Dupres seemed to be somewhat indisposed.
-Please excuse me for a moment.
-Of course.
Dinner is served.
Your company has spoiled my appetite.
Then go to bed.
I won't have you lying about like a derelict.
Very well, madam.
-ls everything okay, Eleanor? -Just fine, thank you.
Not so fast.
You're making my head swim.
Tell him I'll be right down.
-Where is he? -lnside.
I'll go get him.
-No, you can't.
-Why? We can't risk everything for one person.
No matter who it is.
We've gotta go.
Let's go! Stop right there! Hello, Mother.
This is a nice photograph for our family album.
What are you doing sneaking around here? I'm warning you! I won't shoot it out with you.
That's what I'm doing here.
Look at us.
This is crazy.
Why have you done this to me? You said it'd never happen here.
Then we woke up to fascism.
Those who respect the law are free.
Criminals like you cry "fascist.
" You're as free as your leash.
Tug too hard, you'll hang by it.
-Good night, Mother.
-Don't test me! -I'm warning you.
-You'd shoot your own son? It was my son.
How could he? How could he? Downstairs! Search the grounds! Get him.
-Not back? -No, not yet.
You did the right thing.
You couldn't risk the mission.
I don't know how many more decisions I can handle.
-Becomes easier.
-I doubt that.
When I was in Africa, I was armed.
A soldier came into my church.
There was a family hiding there.
Suspected guerrillas, that's what he said.
Guerrillas.
A 10-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and their mother.
He was gonna shoot them.
I had to decide whether I was gonna let him do that.
You killed him? God forgive me.
Right in my own church.
Hey, leave a couple ribs intact.
I was so worried about you.
You were? How worried? I was just as worried as I would be if anybody You were a bit more concerned about me.
You've got a high opinion of yourself.
I'm beginning to get a high opinion of you.
-Congratulations on getting back.
-Thanks.
-Your mom invited you to dinner? -She insisted.
Is this how your earth girl makes love? She was young.
I was her first.
I think she loves you.
Look.
The way she looks at you.
She believes everything you're whispering to her.
I'd rather not think about the experience.
Why don't you show me? Are you serious? Miss Walsh? Here's a message for you.
You.
You used to call me Mike.
I wondered why your stepfather wanted to see me.
That was a dirty trick.
-You wouldn't come if I'd asked.
-I sure wouldn't have.
They want you dead.
They'll kill you.
You worried for me or for yourself? -What do you want, Mike? -They took my son.
I want him back.
-Sean? -They took him and the whole town.
-Are they dead? -Not quite.
-They're packed aboard your ship.
-What do you mean? People, packed in cocoons for shipping.
In a state near death, like suspended animation.
-What for? -Food.
No.
It's true.
That's why they increased our rations.
They're fattening us up.
I want you to take this and find Sean.
He's in something called Section 34.
Please.
I'll do what I can.
You stay out of sight, I'm not kidding.
They'll do anything to get you.
-I'll try and get word to you.
-Kristine? This is for you, Mike.
Don't go looking for an ally.
-What are you doing off the trail? -lt's Donovan! Laser blast below.
Two mounted guards in pursuit.
Now heading for intercept.
Damn.
You jeopardized everything by acting alone.
You trusted a traitor.
What do you expect? They have my boy.
I expect you to think of us before yourself! You risked all of us.
You don't care.
That's not true.
You don't understand.
It has nothing to do with you.
Mike, we need you.
I need you.
But unless you give us your best, you should go before you hurt us.
Flight crews, prepare for incoming cargo ships.
Downloading in Bay 7.
Tanker approaching departure area.
Sean.
Just a minute.
What are you doing here? I'm lost.
All right.
Let's try it one more time.
-Why were you in a restricted area? -I told you, I was lost.
-What's going on? -She was outside the special section.
-There must be an explanation.
-She has yet to give a satisfactory one.
Take her into my lab.
-I don't know what you're plotting -Don't speak to me like that.
-I am chief of security.
-You're trying to discredit me.
She's your recruit, your associate, your friend.
I have no friends among humans.
If she betrays us, your judgment must be questioned.
-I'll speak to her myself.
-Why not leave it to me? -My men are expert interrogators.
-I said I'll handle it.
Very well.
But from now on l'll be keeping an eye on her.
Leave us.
You've placed me in an awkward position.
I'd never do anything to put you in a bad light.
I just made a wrong turn.
Of course you did.
But you must be very careful.
I am a woman of some authority, and therefore I have enemies.
Enemies who would use anyone or anything to hurt me.
-We must not give them any opportunity.
-No, of course not.
The consequences could be most unfortunate.
-Willie.
-Harmony! I'm glad to be looking at you.
Yes.
I'm happy to see you too.
See, yes.
To see you.
I waited at our spot, but you never came.
They move me.
Change hours.
I must work.
Everything.
-They move many of us here.
-Why so many? I'm just a worker.
They tell me small.
Small? Little.
They tell you little.
Same thing on this planet.
The low man's always the last to know.
I want to touch you, but I know.
I want to be with you, Willie.
Let's review it again.
We'll have three rings of security at the event.
Outside, we'll be protected by the passes.
Inside our troops will command the lobby and corridors.
Finally, the new security doors make the lobby impenetrable.
Lovely plan, even if it is my own.
I don't want you dealing drugs.
It's a dirty war.
Dealing opens doors.
-I've heard the excuses before.
-lt's not an excuse.
Anything we do to put lizards and their bootlickers on ice helps.
Let's get on with it.
Hello, Mike.
I envy you, the riches of your planet.
Martin, we're gonna need your help at the hospital.
That plan's as nuts as sending Kristine to Section 34.
What's it to you? Our network is based on the mother ship.
Security is too tight now.
We'll expose John on national TV.
You have to keep the broadcast up.
You'll never do it.
Steven will stop you at the door.
-We've counterfeited the passes.
-All right.
Say you do get inside, you have no chance against his troops.
We'll handle them.
This scheme is so reckless.
It's ill-conceived.
It may be, but it's our only chance.
Maybe we can wake people up to what's going on.
We don't have a prayer without your help.
Please.
All right.
Somehow that picture will stay on the air.
-There's just one more thing.
-With you there always is.
We're gonna need some help getting out of there.
-I suppose you have a plan for that? -You bet I have.
Don't be so negative, Martin.
You'll give yourself an ulcer.
-Sorry.
-So am I.
-We won't say of this.
-You bet you won't.
-You're acting like them.
-They killed my wife.
-And my partner.
-He didn't.
He's not a fighter! -What is this? -He didn't do anything.
-He's one of them.
-He may be, but he saved my life.
We need information.
I'm gonna get it.
Like back at the force? Ask him questions with your nightstick? You want him.
You have to come through me.
We're not fighting each other.
She's right.
We're the Resistance, not a lynch mob.
You're a biologist, Robert.
You're dedicated to preserving life.
-All life but this kind.
-You wanted a specimen, you got it.
Good.
Then let's use him.
Mark, bring him in the lab.
-Fascinating.
-A totally different hemoglobin.
-How about platelets? -I don't see any.
Awful lot of plasma in there.
Take a look.
Yeah, I see.
Hi.
Hello.
I was just wondering do you know a Visitor youth leader named Brian? No.
I am sorry, I do not.
-Are you sure? -I am sure.
When is your baby coming? I couldn't help noticing the patch around your neck.
It is nearly all the way around.
Now keep your mind on your work, okay? -Yeah? -Have they done anything to Willie? Just some humane blood tests, that's all.
You're wrong about him.
He could never hurt anybody.
He's nice.
You must like reptiles.
That's not true.
I don't think they're lizards.
-Didn't you see Donovan's tape? -I saw Kristine Walsh's report.
It's makeup that the terrorists do, like in a movie.
-You really believe that? -Yeah.
Come here.
I hope you have a strong stomach.
What are you doing? Now ask him about the other lies.
Ask him why they're here.
Is it true? Come on.
Tell her.
It is true.
There.
Martin said they were immunized against all diseases.
He doesn't exhibit allergic reactions.
-Here, Dad.
-Thank you.
Julie.
You have to get rid of it.
What do you mean? -I want an abortion right now! -We talked about that I don't care! You have to get rid of it! You don't understand! It's one of them! -Robin! -Watch him! That doesn't matter! I resent your presence.
It's a family decision.
Stay out! This is the first mating between our race and an alien species.
It's too important a decision for a 17-year-old and her father.
-No one's gonna experiment on her! -Take it easy, Robert.
There are crucial moral principles at stake I don't want it! It's not gonna be a baby, it's gonna be some horrible thing.
Are you absolutely sure about that? Brian's the only one I ever slept with.
You can't make her go through this for some ideal.
-Abortion is murder.
-This is different.
-The principle's the same.
-We've heard this before.
Those are old arguments for an old issue.
This is entirely new.
He's right.
We know so little.
There's never been a conception like this.
An abortion could be dangerous.
I don't care.
I'd rather die than have this thing.
This baby could be a ray of hope a sign of peace between us.
The potential is just too great to be ignored.
So are the dangers.
We can't take responsibility for her, it's her body.
It's her decision.
I want it gone.
Sweetheart, this is as uncomfortable as it's gonna get.
I don't care how much it hurts.
Just get rid of it.
Where's Fred? I don't know.
We have to start without him.
I'm gonna make an incision in your abdomen and send a camera down so I can see what I'm doing.
Why not do a regular abortion? It's a laparoscopy.
It's a new technique and it's real safe.
It won't take long.
Besides, you get to see yourself on TV.
Okay, doctor, the patient and I are ready whenever you are.
Go ahead.
Take a look at that.
-We'll have to put you out, okay? -Why, what's the matter? -Nothing.
-Tell me what's wrong.
We're just gonna sedate you for a little bit, it's okay.
-That's right.
-lt's okay.
Okay.
Breathe deeply, Robin.
That's it.
I'm seeing lots of strands of wispy fibers.
They're threaded throughout the abdominal cavity.
My God, it's growing through the uterine wall.
It's tapped directly into the bladder and liver.
-Where were you? -They're double checking ID's.
How's the fetus? See any features? I've never seen anything like it.
The sac is opaque, gelatinous.
Those fibers look like umbilical cords.
Hand me the scissors.
I'm gonna cut one.
Temp's down four degrees, heart rate up 130.
That's better already.
Okay.
We're gonna try again.
She's slipping again.
Body temp down four degrees.
Normal again.
-lt'll kill her before we take it out.
-Stop it, we're not doing it.
She'll have to carry this baby, and we'll have to deliver it.
I'm afraid I'm not real good company right now.
That bad, huh? I'm just I'm just sick and tired of it.
I'm tired of trying to be some kind of guerrilla leader.
Guerrilla.
What is that? Trying to pull everybody together.
Trying to pass as a doctor, as if I know what I'm doing.
I can't handle it.
Let someone else do it.
You're the whole show.
There is no one else.
She could've died, because I don't know Everything? Yes.
No one expects you to know everything except you.
Guess that's pretty arrogant, huh? I wouldn't know.
I'm too self-centered to notice.
This is Kristine Walsh at the L.
A.
Medical Center.
You're looking at the hottest ticket in America.
Invitation only.
Never have I seen so many celebrities in one place.
Everybody who is remotely anybody is here tonight.
We've spotted luminaries from every field.
World-renowned doctors, politicians, actors, athletes, even royalty.
All have come to L.
A.
to be present for John's historic announcement.
There isn't a single limo available in town tonight.
And all police are on duty.
Security is very tight here at the Medical Center.
Good evening.
-That isn't necessary.
-I insist.
-I know it'll be wonderful.
-lf it is, it's due largely to you.
Could we go in, please? Just a minute.
Let me see that.
-Go right in.
-Thank you.
The passes are okay.
Everyone knows what to do.
Let's go.
The party's on.
-I'll go upstairs for refreshments.
-Good idea.
-How's the shrimp? -Looks fine to me.
-Will you be all right here? -Fine.
The cake looks good.
I think I'll try some.
All cameras are transmitting.
We have complete coverage of the event on video and audio.
Transmit to all ships.
Repeat.
Transmit to all ships.
Okay, Tom, on three.
Three, two This is for America and the world.
I've just been given permission by Diana, a trusted aid of John's to make an exclusive announcement to all not fortunate enough to be here in person.
Tonight John will give this planet an infallible vaccine which resists all forms of cancer.
I repeat, a vaccine which prevents all forms of cancer.
This truly is a historical night.
When Father Andrews acts, I'll signal.
And I'll shut the lobby front, back and sides.
-Would you mind not doing that? -What? Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Supreme Commander.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good evening to all of you.
It gives us Visitors great pleasure to be here tonight.
Because it gives us a chance to repay the hospitality the people of Earth have shown us.
You've all tried to help us collect the resources we need to save the people of our planet.
It seems only fair that we reciprocate.
We've got a fire in Bay 6.
Get an extinguisher over here.
That's it.
Right here.
Thank you.
I am honored to announce that beginning tomorrow doors will be open at this hospital and within weeks, around the world Now! Now! Get the torch.
And more troops! Keep taping this.
Grab some air, pretty face.
Everybody freeze! They are not our friends.
They've come to rape Earth and kill us.
They are not who they appear to be.
This is not science fiction.
This is what they are.
It's a trick.
Stop that transmission! -Stop the transmission! -Something's wrong.
All right.
Okay, let's go.
Go.
Go.
Secure this room, nobody in or out.
You, control this crowd.
Let's go! Go to the squad ship, you'll be safer there.
What's going on? Get on the air and tell the viewers that this is a terrorist hoax.
Now.
Go.
You have just seen a terrorist attack on the hospital.
It wasn't terrorism, but resistance.
Resistance to the monsters taking over our planet.
You see them as they are.
Reptiles.
They must be fought.
They must be defeated.
Blow it.
Come on, let's go! Hurry up, will you? Let's go! Shut it! -Come on! -Shut it! -What are you doing? -Going back.
It's too late.
-I'm not leaving her.
-You got to.
There's no way to get her back.
Get away.
There's more than one life at stake here.
-I don't care.
-Yes, you do.
Donovan, come on.
Now! -Where are they? -We lost them.
Idiot! Reinforce all positions.
They must not escape.
Yes, sir.
Be careful, be careful.
Freeze! You're all surrounded.
Get inside the squad ship.
Move! One false move and you're all dead.
Hurry! Hurry! Come on you, move! Tell Steven we're taking the rebels to the mother ship.
-Rebels captured, taken to mother ship.
-Report when they arrive.
The rebels are being transported to the mother ship.
Where's John? Where no one can see him.
Your security was nonexistent.
You've been criminally negligent and will be held accountable.
Anyone need a ride home? -Robin.
-Where's Julie? -We don't know.
-You don't know? -She's the only doctor we've got.
-We'll get her back.
What do we do now? We've got no choice.
Let's go for it.
Stop! Halt! Stop that van.
Wait a minute, stop.
Halt! -Oh, my God.
-Come along.
-Hurry! -Get out! This is a prize.
Almost worth what we paid tonight.
Good work, Daniel.
Congratulations.
I wish we had more like you.
Yes.
Congratulations on selling out to a bunch of nightcrawlers.
You need an attitude adjustment, my dear.
And it will be my pleasure to give it to you.
Put her aboard my ship, if you can manage that.
We Visitors are proud of this ceremony since it gives us the chance to repay the hospitality the people of Earth have shown us.
You've all tried to help us Can you believe they're trying this? -America will buy it too.
-Sure will.
Who would believe lizards would cure cancer? -Moving's a waste, Julie won't talk.
-They can extract information.
and painless vaccine for a disease which afflicts millions of people: Cancer.
You've just seen the real broadcast, given by John the Visitors' Supreme Commander.
I know I speak for peace-loving people with whom I'm grateful that the Visitors have given to us far more than they've asked from us.
I'm Eleanor Dupres, from the Los Angeles Medical Center.
-How was that? -Perfect.
-As long as you're pleased.
-We are.
-I'll see you later? -You sure will.
-Bye.
-Thank you.
-You're very accessible.
-When it's useful.
You made us accessible last night.
If Diana hadn't covered you with this moviemaking our credibility would be gone.
We'll kill the rebels tonight.
We've gotten information we needed.
We'll attack their headquarters.
They'll be a memory within hours.
Her history suggests she'll be difficult.
I'll break her.
She's going to be my masterpiece.
I'm sorry.
-ls it time? -ln 20 minutes.
-I dreamt they killed him.
-Who, Sean? Did you get any sleep? I'm all right.
Let's go.
-Robert wants to see you in the lab.
-Another lizard show.
Sure got a lot of complaints.
We're wasting a lot of time with lab experiments.
-Got any better ideas? -We can't create a super-weapon.
Maybe manpower.
I'm telling you.
Remember the group you spoke to? We got volunteers.
It's gonna take more than manpower.
It'll take unity.
You're not big on unity, are you? -I'm used to working alone.
-Well, get unused to it.
We're a team.
-How's our production? -Right on schedule.
All right.
Let's open it up.
-Step down.
Watch your step.
-What's this about? It's the middle of the night.
Welcome to Visitor Orientation Center Number 9.
Please move quickly but safely inside.
All your questions will be answered.
We appreciate your cooperation.
The cleansing spray is harmless, and for our protection only.
-Have a pleasant visit.
-Next.
I followed them here the night they took my husband.
Check your watch.
-12:18.
-Two minutes.
My husband hid me.
He saved my life.
What is this place? Jenny, stay here.
Oh, my God! It's a processing plant.
They're shipping food! We're gonna close this supermarket down.
Let's go.
-You miss him, and we're lizard bait.
-I won't miss.
-I'll take those two.
-Say when.
Alert.
We have an emergency.
Hold the line.
Let's go! Go! Go! Our bullets are just bouncing off! Aim for the legs! Aim for the legs! Go back! Let's get out of here! Get the wounded.
She's badly wounded.
Go! Go! Start it up again.
Start the line.
Congratulations.
Your security measures are quite effective.
I should hope so.
There's no glory in rousting this rabble.
Take the wounded to the infirmary.
-Help! -Come on.
Easy.
Keep her head up.
Come on.
Move the truck.
Clear some tables off.
We need some supplies.
I need a splint over here.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
Hang on.
Where do you want him? Bed number 2.
Get some fluids into him.
Robin, clamp those bleeders.
I don't know how.
Never mind, I'll do it.
Put an IV in that guy.
-Where's Father Andrew? -He's busy.
-We're all busy.
-He's giving last rites.
Through this holy anointing, may the Lord pardon all your sins.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Donovan.
They mustn't win.
They can't.
They won't.
Promise me.
I promise.
All right.
Let's get her inside.
Easy, now.
I hit one and it didn't faze him.
Donovan's laser weapon is the only one that works.
It's our only one.
I hit one with an M-16, all it did was knock him down.
This defeat is gonna cost us -if we don't turn it around.
-What do you mean? People would help if they thought there's a chance.
These hit-and-run raids are useless.
We need a bonanza.
We need an event.
We? Since when did you join up? Never mind that.
He's right.
What does a priest know about strategy? The South African guerrillas taught me.
Let's just deal with what we can handle at the moment, to survive.
We need supplies and a real doctor.
I bet the Visitors look just like this.
Don't be stupid.
Everybody knows they're big reptiles.
-They are not.
-They are too.
They're not lizards.
They are.
They're ugly, creepy lizards.
Just like this.
Stop it, Polly.
-Give him a kiss.
-Stop it! Robin! Why is your sister so upset? I don't know.
I didn't do anything.
Polly's just teasing.
She's frustrated like all of us.
Kids tease and grownups get mean.
Oh, baby.
I wanna help.
I wanna say the right thing.
Tell me who the baby's father is.
Really, I just wanna help, that's all.
I know.
I just don't wanna have anything to do with him.
It was just an accident.
We'll see this through together.
Docking crew, prepare for arrival of Supreme Commander's craft.
Flight crew stand by for off-loading personnel.
Security escort, report to Shuttlecraft 93 preparing for departure in Bay 6.
No, Diana, I don't understand.
You promised me an interview with the president over two months ago.
I know, Kristine.
The bureaucracy drives me crazy too.
-Kristine, what a pleasant surprise! -Good to see you, John.
-Diana.
-Welcome to Los Angeles.
Kristine was requesting an interview with the U.
S.
president again.
I thought my people had taken care of that.
I'll see to it myself.
-ln the meantime, I bring good news.
-Really? You'll have exclusive coverage of one of the most important announcements of a lifetime.
Of all time.
Thank you.
I'm quite grateful.
Can you give me an idea of what it might be? Soon, my dear.
Very soon.
We'll keep you informed.
In the meantime you will be accorded every hospitality.
This event at the L.
A.
Medical Center will be the highlight of your career.
Get down.
It's Lizard City.
What's going on? Looks like Disneyland.
Must be a convention.
Let's get our medical supplies and get out of here.
You'll coordinate surveillance with your commanding designated sectors.
Breaches of security will be dealt with severely.
My men are aware of that, Diana.
All right.
Move out.
Well! Looks like you got kicked upstairs.
-I'm youth leader now.
-Good for you.
Head of the L.
A.
chapter of Friends of The Visitors.
Got security clearance.
No kidding? Pretty tough job.
Lot of pressure.
I got what you want.
Little pop, keep you on top.
Don't get greedy in there, okay? Never do.
You should light the hallway.
Diana placed us in the entourage.
You can follow with a minicam.
Dr.
Walker! Excuse me.
Dr.
Walker.
Kristine Walsh.
We met in Palm Springs.
I've been such an admirer I remember you, Ms.
Walsh.
You were a newswoman.
I'm still No, Ms.
Walsh.
You're certainly not a newswoman.
At best, a press secretary.
At worst, a collaborator.
I don't know what you've heard, but I'm doing my job.
I wonder how many times that phrase was used at the Nuremberg Trials.
That is untrue.
Ms.
Walsh, I'll tell you what is untrue.
It is untrue you're working for a benevolent regime.
Fascists have take over, and you're their administer of propaganda.
You've allowed personal ambition to corrupt you.
You no longer have credibility.
Good day.
Dr.
Kaufman to OR.
Dr.
Kaufman to OR, please.
Gary, check out those wimps.
Those are hot-shot intellectuals.
They'll probably graduate med school and marry sorority queens.
Excuse me.
I bet that you doctors operate on each other, right? See, school's a bunch of crap.
Do you like me? I don't think he likes me.
Kneel.
-Kneel.
-Get down there.
Do as you're told.
That's better.
You look very comfortable, why don't you stay there for a while? And while you're down there, why don't you clean my boots? No, no.
Not that way.
Lick them.
Mousies.
Mousies.
Mousies? I'm looking for little mousies.
Mousie! What the hell are you doing? Mousies.
Don't you ever be so stupid again.
Humans must never see us eat! Dr.
Walker.
We've been waiting for you.
-Don't ask me again.
-I can't promise.
It's too dangerous.
-lt's not easy for us.
-I'm a doctor, not a fighter.
We need doctors.
We need you.
I'm scared.
I've got a family.
What's going on? So many lizards.
Nobody's sure.
There's a rumor that John's coming.
You sure? That's what I heard.
I want the plans to the hospital.
I don't know.
-What do you mean? -Well, medicine's one thing Look, man, if we lose, the whole shooting match is lost.
We're all you got between the life you had and the one you're not gonna have.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
I trust you will have the president ready for the interview soon.
It would be much easier if I were supervising the conversion.
He's tough, but he'll be ours soon.
It's taking too long.
Conversion can be a long and difficult process.
Kristine is losing faith.
It's not as simple to tap their minds as it is their water resources.
One mistake and our Dr.
Walker will be a babbling idiot.
Brian, this is incredible.
I've never known people who lived in places like this.
Perhaps one day you will live like this.
Yeah, I know I will.
This way.
Colorado River to supply all of California.
In an exclusive interview recorded earlier today John, the Supreme Commander of the Visitors -She redefines the word smooth.
-You mean slippery.
Donovan's the expert.
I chose the Los Angeles Medical Center for my announcement.
I don't want to say much more at this time except that this announcement concerns a major medical breakthrough we've made.
A breakthrough that will relieve untold suffering on your planet.
Our gift to you.
This is it.
This is the event Donovan's talking about.
It's too big.
Security will be maximum plus.
-There will be a lot of heat.
-Nobody said we'd kick in the door.
Are there passes for the center? There are special passes issued at the last moment.
-How special? -Can you get one? I don't think so.
I have limited access at Security Headquarters and Steven said that passes will be impossible to duplicate.
Anything can be duplicated.
If we can expose their Supreme Commander on national TV International.
I mean, tear his phony face off right in front of the cameras we could turn this war around for good.
-Mark, you're a cop.
-Ex-cop.
-Elias, you're a hood.
-Ex-hood.
You two should be able to find the best counterfeiter around.
Pascal.
-Dan Pascal? -Yeah.
If he's still alive.
Find him.
We'll try.
Come on.
Nobody moves! All right, pick them up.
Clear the street.
Stay back.
Move on.
Move on.
Let's go.
It's all over now.
Move on.
Clear the area.
This is police business.
Clear the streets.
Clear the area.
Police business.
-Martin? -Yes.
Where's my son? -ln Section 34.
We can't get to him.
-You've got to.
-You got a picture of him? -I'll get you one.
What else do you need? Weapons.
Uniforms.
Too risky.
We have our own movement.
Our network is spreading.
We're dying.
If we lose you lose.
We need each other.
I can't get you weapons.
They're all accounted for.
Then get us uniforms.
All right.
I know what you're up against.
But I can't jeopardize our movement.
I want to help.
But This could change the entire complexion of the war.
What are you planning? It's better that you don't know.
Not yet.
For your own safety.
And for ours.
I want my son back, Martin.
This way.
Kristine.
Thank you for coming before your broadcast.
I want you to meet your guest.
Splendid.
Who is it? A very respected man in your country.
And I'm happy to say, a booster for us.
I know how pleased he is to appear with you.
Kristine Walsh, what a pleasure.
We met once before, Gerald Ford's home.
We played bridge after golf.
You made an impossible bid but you carried it off.
Gave us quite a lesson.
I do want to tell you what a wonderful job you're doing.
It's so important that we have you Well, well, well.
Hi.
What's going on here? Heavy security stuff, very hush-hush.
So how about it? I don't even know your name.
I'm Daniel.
What's yours? -Maggie.
-Hi.
So how about what? -Getting together.
-lf you mean a date, okay.
If you mean something more horizontal, no.
At least not yet.
Maggie's made contact with Daniel.
-We've got a problem.
-What problem? There's no way we can get a pass.
If one is missing, they'll change the whole lot.
We have to copy it without them knowing? -Right.
-Houdini couldn't do it.
-Maybe I can.
-How? My mother.
-Anybody ready for another? -No, thanks.
I think we've all had enough.
Think for yourself.
-Okay? -So far, so good.
Dan, we need the best or we're dead.
No one told Picasso how to paint.
Lay off.
-Tell Mr.
Dupres we're starting dinner.
-Yes, ma'am.
Come on.
Okay, go.
Mr.
Dupres seemed to be somewhat indisposed.
-Please excuse me for a moment.
-Of course.
Dinner is served.
Your company has spoiled my appetite.
Then go to bed.
I won't have you lying about like a derelict.
Very well, madam.
-ls everything okay, Eleanor? -Just fine, thank you.
Not so fast.
You're making my head swim.
Tell him I'll be right down.
-Where is he? -lnside.
I'll go get him.
-No, you can't.
-Why? We can't risk everything for one person.
No matter who it is.
We've gotta go.
Let's go! Stop right there! Hello, Mother.
This is a nice photograph for our family album.
What are you doing sneaking around here? I'm warning you! I won't shoot it out with you.
That's what I'm doing here.
Look at us.
This is crazy.
Why have you done this to me? You said it'd never happen here.
Then we woke up to fascism.
Those who respect the law are free.
Criminals like you cry "fascist.
" You're as free as your leash.
Tug too hard, you'll hang by it.
-Good night, Mother.
-Don't test me! -I'm warning you.
-You'd shoot your own son? It was my son.
How could he? How could he? Downstairs! Search the grounds! Get him.
-Not back? -No, not yet.
You did the right thing.
You couldn't risk the mission.
I don't know how many more decisions I can handle.
-Becomes easier.
-I doubt that.
When I was in Africa, I was armed.
A soldier came into my church.
There was a family hiding there.
Suspected guerrillas, that's what he said.
Guerrillas.
A 10-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and their mother.
He was gonna shoot them.
I had to decide whether I was gonna let him do that.
You killed him? God forgive me.
Right in my own church.
Hey, leave a couple ribs intact.
I was so worried about you.
You were? How worried? I was just as worried as I would be if anybody You were a bit more concerned about me.
You've got a high opinion of yourself.
I'm beginning to get a high opinion of you.
-Congratulations on getting back.
-Thanks.
-Your mom invited you to dinner? -She insisted.
Is this how your earth girl makes love? She was young.
I was her first.
I think she loves you.
Look.
The way she looks at you.
She believes everything you're whispering to her.
I'd rather not think about the experience.
Why don't you show me? Are you serious? Miss Walsh? Here's a message for you.
You.
You used to call me Mike.
I wondered why your stepfather wanted to see me.
That was a dirty trick.
-You wouldn't come if I'd asked.
-I sure wouldn't have.
They want you dead.
They'll kill you.
You worried for me or for yourself? -What do you want, Mike? -They took my son.
I want him back.
-Sean? -They took him and the whole town.
-Are they dead? -Not quite.
-They're packed aboard your ship.
-What do you mean? People, packed in cocoons for shipping.
In a state near death, like suspended animation.
-What for? -Food.
No.
It's true.
That's why they increased our rations.
They're fattening us up.
I want you to take this and find Sean.
He's in something called Section 34.
Please.
I'll do what I can.
You stay out of sight, I'm not kidding.
They'll do anything to get you.
-I'll try and get word to you.
-Kristine? This is for you, Mike.
Don't go looking for an ally.
-What are you doing off the trail? -lt's Donovan! Laser blast below.
Two mounted guards in pursuit.
Now heading for intercept.
Damn.
You jeopardized everything by acting alone.
You trusted a traitor.
What do you expect? They have my boy.
I expect you to think of us before yourself! You risked all of us.
You don't care.
That's not true.
You don't understand.
It has nothing to do with you.
Mike, we need you.
I need you.
But unless you give us your best, you should go before you hurt us.
Flight crews, prepare for incoming cargo ships.
Downloading in Bay 7.
Tanker approaching departure area.
Sean.
Just a minute.
What are you doing here? I'm lost.
All right.
Let's try it one more time.
-Why were you in a restricted area? -I told you, I was lost.
-What's going on? -She was outside the special section.
-There must be an explanation.
-She has yet to give a satisfactory one.
Take her into my lab.
-I don't know what you're plotting -Don't speak to me like that.
-I am chief of security.
-You're trying to discredit me.
She's your recruit, your associate, your friend.
I have no friends among humans.
If she betrays us, your judgment must be questioned.
-I'll speak to her myself.
-Why not leave it to me? -My men are expert interrogators.
-I said I'll handle it.
Very well.
But from now on l'll be keeping an eye on her.
Leave us.
You've placed me in an awkward position.
I'd never do anything to put you in a bad light.
I just made a wrong turn.
Of course you did.
But you must be very careful.
I am a woman of some authority, and therefore I have enemies.
Enemies who would use anyone or anything to hurt me.
-We must not give them any opportunity.
-No, of course not.
The consequences could be most unfortunate.
-Willie.
-Harmony! I'm glad to be looking at you.
Yes.
I'm happy to see you too.
See, yes.
To see you.
I waited at our spot, but you never came.
They move me.
Change hours.
I must work.
Everything.
-They move many of us here.
-Why so many? I'm just a worker.
They tell me small.
Small? Little.
They tell you little.
Same thing on this planet.
The low man's always the last to know.
I want to touch you, but I know.
I want to be with you, Willie.
Let's review it again.
We'll have three rings of security at the event.
Outside, we'll be protected by the passes.
Inside our troops will command the lobby and corridors.
Finally, the new security doors make the lobby impenetrable.
Lovely plan, even if it is my own.
I don't want you dealing drugs.
It's a dirty war.
Dealing opens doors.
-I've heard the excuses before.
-lt's not an excuse.
Anything we do to put lizards and their bootlickers on ice helps.
Let's get on with it.
Hello, Mike.
I envy you, the riches of your planet.
Martin, we're gonna need your help at the hospital.
That plan's as nuts as sending Kristine to Section 34.
What's it to you? Our network is based on the mother ship.
Security is too tight now.
We'll expose John on national TV.
You have to keep the broadcast up.
You'll never do it.
Steven will stop you at the door.
-We've counterfeited the passes.
-All right.
Say you do get inside, you have no chance against his troops.
We'll handle them.
This scheme is so reckless.
It's ill-conceived.
It may be, but it's our only chance.
Maybe we can wake people up to what's going on.
We don't have a prayer without your help.
Please.
All right.
Somehow that picture will stay on the air.
-There's just one more thing.
-With you there always is.
We're gonna need some help getting out of there.
-I suppose you have a plan for that? -You bet I have.
Don't be so negative, Martin.
You'll give yourself an ulcer.
-Sorry.
-So am I.
-We won't say of this.
-You bet you won't.
-You're acting like them.
-They killed my wife.
-And my partner.
-He didn't.
He's not a fighter! -What is this? -He didn't do anything.
-He's one of them.
-He may be, but he saved my life.
We need information.
I'm gonna get it.
Like back at the force? Ask him questions with your nightstick? You want him.
You have to come through me.
We're not fighting each other.
She's right.
We're the Resistance, not a lynch mob.
You're a biologist, Robert.
You're dedicated to preserving life.
-All life but this kind.
-You wanted a specimen, you got it.
Good.
Then let's use him.
Mark, bring him in the lab.
-Fascinating.
-A totally different hemoglobin.
-How about platelets? -I don't see any.
Awful lot of plasma in there.
Take a look.
Yeah, I see.
Hi.
Hello.
I was just wondering do you know a Visitor youth leader named Brian? No.
I am sorry, I do not.
-Are you sure? -I am sure.
When is your baby coming? I couldn't help noticing the patch around your neck.
It is nearly all the way around.
Now keep your mind on your work, okay? -Yeah? -Have they done anything to Willie? Just some humane blood tests, that's all.
You're wrong about him.
He could never hurt anybody.
He's nice.
You must like reptiles.
That's not true.
I don't think they're lizards.
-Didn't you see Donovan's tape? -I saw Kristine Walsh's report.
It's makeup that the terrorists do, like in a movie.
-You really believe that? -Yeah.
Come here.
I hope you have a strong stomach.
What are you doing? Now ask him about the other lies.
Ask him why they're here.
Is it true? Come on.
Tell her.
It is true.
There.
Martin said they were immunized against all diseases.
He doesn't exhibit allergic reactions.
-Here, Dad.
-Thank you.
Julie.
You have to get rid of it.
What do you mean? -I want an abortion right now! -We talked about that I don't care! You have to get rid of it! You don't understand! It's one of them! -Robin! -Watch him! That doesn't matter! I resent your presence.
It's a family decision.
Stay out! This is the first mating between our race and an alien species.
It's too important a decision for a 17-year-old and her father.
-No one's gonna experiment on her! -Take it easy, Robert.
There are crucial moral principles at stake I don't want it! It's not gonna be a baby, it's gonna be some horrible thing.
Are you absolutely sure about that? Brian's the only one I ever slept with.
You can't make her go through this for some ideal.
-Abortion is murder.
-This is different.
-The principle's the same.
-We've heard this before.
Those are old arguments for an old issue.
This is entirely new.
He's right.
We know so little.
There's never been a conception like this.
An abortion could be dangerous.
I don't care.
I'd rather die than have this thing.
This baby could be a ray of hope a sign of peace between us.
The potential is just too great to be ignored.
So are the dangers.
We can't take responsibility for her, it's her body.
It's her decision.
I want it gone.
Sweetheart, this is as uncomfortable as it's gonna get.
I don't care how much it hurts.
Just get rid of it.
Where's Fred? I don't know.
We have to start without him.
I'm gonna make an incision in your abdomen and send a camera down so I can see what I'm doing.
Why not do a regular abortion? It's a laparoscopy.
It's a new technique and it's real safe.
It won't take long.
Besides, you get to see yourself on TV.
Okay, doctor, the patient and I are ready whenever you are.
Go ahead.
Take a look at that.
-We'll have to put you out, okay? -Why, what's the matter? -Nothing.
-Tell me what's wrong.
We're just gonna sedate you for a little bit, it's okay.
-That's right.
-lt's okay.
Okay.
Breathe deeply, Robin.
That's it.
I'm seeing lots of strands of wispy fibers.
They're threaded throughout the abdominal cavity.
My God, it's growing through the uterine wall.
It's tapped directly into the bladder and liver.
-Where were you? -They're double checking ID's.
How's the fetus? See any features? I've never seen anything like it.
The sac is opaque, gelatinous.
Those fibers look like umbilical cords.
Hand me the scissors.
I'm gonna cut one.
Temp's down four degrees, heart rate up 130.
That's better already.
Okay.
We're gonna try again.
She's slipping again.
Body temp down four degrees.
Normal again.
-lt'll kill her before we take it out.
-Stop it, we're not doing it.
She'll have to carry this baby, and we'll have to deliver it.
I'm afraid I'm not real good company right now.
That bad, huh? I'm just I'm just sick and tired of it.
I'm tired of trying to be some kind of guerrilla leader.
Guerrilla.
What is that? Trying to pull everybody together.
Trying to pass as a doctor, as if I know what I'm doing.
I can't handle it.
Let someone else do it.
You're the whole show.
There is no one else.
She could've died, because I don't know Everything? Yes.
No one expects you to know everything except you.
Guess that's pretty arrogant, huh? I wouldn't know.
I'm too self-centered to notice.
This is Kristine Walsh at the L.
A.
Medical Center.
You're looking at the hottest ticket in America.
Invitation only.
Never have I seen so many celebrities in one place.
Everybody who is remotely anybody is here tonight.
We've spotted luminaries from every field.
World-renowned doctors, politicians, actors, athletes, even royalty.
All have come to L.
A.
to be present for John's historic announcement.
There isn't a single limo available in town tonight.
And all police are on duty.
Security is very tight here at the Medical Center.
Good evening.
-That isn't necessary.
-I insist.
-I know it'll be wonderful.
-lf it is, it's due largely to you.
Could we go in, please? Just a minute.
Let me see that.
-Go right in.
-Thank you.
The passes are okay.
Everyone knows what to do.
Let's go.
The party's on.
-I'll go upstairs for refreshments.
-Good idea.
-How's the shrimp? -Looks fine to me.
-Will you be all right here? -Fine.
The cake looks good.
I think I'll try some.
All cameras are transmitting.
We have complete coverage of the event on video and audio.
Transmit to all ships.
Repeat.
Transmit to all ships.
Okay, Tom, on three.
Three, two This is for America and the world.
I've just been given permission by Diana, a trusted aid of John's to make an exclusive announcement to all not fortunate enough to be here in person.
Tonight John will give this planet an infallible vaccine which resists all forms of cancer.
I repeat, a vaccine which prevents all forms of cancer.
This truly is a historical night.
When Father Andrews acts, I'll signal.
And I'll shut the lobby front, back and sides.
-Would you mind not doing that? -What? Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Supreme Commander.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good evening to all of you.
It gives us Visitors great pleasure to be here tonight.
Because it gives us a chance to repay the hospitality the people of Earth have shown us.
You've all tried to help us collect the resources we need to save the people of our planet.
It seems only fair that we reciprocate.
We've got a fire in Bay 6.
Get an extinguisher over here.
That's it.
Right here.
Thank you.
I am honored to announce that beginning tomorrow doors will be open at this hospital and within weeks, around the world Now! Now! Get the torch.
And more troops! Keep taping this.
Grab some air, pretty face.
Everybody freeze! They are not our friends.
They've come to rape Earth and kill us.
They are not who they appear to be.
This is not science fiction.
This is what they are.
It's a trick.
Stop that transmission! -Stop the transmission! -Something's wrong.
All right.
Okay, let's go.
Go.
Go.
Secure this room, nobody in or out.
You, control this crowd.
Let's go! Go to the squad ship, you'll be safer there.
What's going on? Get on the air and tell the viewers that this is a terrorist hoax.
Now.
Go.
You have just seen a terrorist attack on the hospital.
It wasn't terrorism, but resistance.
Resistance to the monsters taking over our planet.
You see them as they are.
Reptiles.
They must be fought.
They must be defeated.
Blow it.
Come on, let's go! Hurry up, will you? Let's go! Shut it! -Come on! -Shut it! -What are you doing? -Going back.
It's too late.
-I'm not leaving her.
-You got to.
There's no way to get her back.
Get away.
There's more than one life at stake here.
-I don't care.
-Yes, you do.
Donovan, come on.
Now! -Where are they? -We lost them.
Idiot! Reinforce all positions.
They must not escape.
Yes, sir.
Be careful, be careful.
Freeze! You're all surrounded.
Get inside the squad ship.
Move! One false move and you're all dead.
Hurry! Hurry! Come on you, move! Tell Steven we're taking the rebels to the mother ship.
-Rebels captured, taken to mother ship.
-Report when they arrive.
The rebels are being transported to the mother ship.
Where's John? Where no one can see him.
Your security was nonexistent.
You've been criminally negligent and will be held accountable.
Anyone need a ride home? -Robin.
-Where's Julie? -We don't know.
-You don't know? -She's the only doctor we've got.
-We'll get her back.
What do we do now? We've got no choice.
Let's go for it.
Stop! Halt! Stop that van.
Wait a minute, stop.
Halt! -Oh, my God.
-Come along.
-Hurry! -Get out! This is a prize.
Almost worth what we paid tonight.
Good work, Daniel.
Congratulations.
I wish we had more like you.
Yes.
Congratulations on selling out to a bunch of nightcrawlers.
You need an attitude adjustment, my dear.
And it will be my pleasure to give it to you.
Put her aboard my ship, if you can manage that.
We Visitors are proud of this ceremony since it gives us the chance to repay the hospitality the people of Earth have shown us.
You've all tried to help us Can you believe they're trying this? -America will buy it too.
-Sure will.
Who would believe lizards would cure cancer? -Moving's a waste, Julie won't talk.
-They can extract information.
and painless vaccine for a disease which afflicts millions of people: Cancer.
You've just seen the real broadcast, given by John the Visitors' Supreme Commander.
I know I speak for peace-loving people with whom I'm grateful that the Visitors have given to us far more than they've asked from us.
I'm Eleanor Dupres, from the Los Angeles Medical Center.
-How was that? -Perfect.
-As long as you're pleased.
-We are.
-I'll see you later? -You sure will.
-Bye.
-Thank you.
-You're very accessible.
-When it's useful.
You made us accessible last night.
If Diana hadn't covered you with this moviemaking our credibility would be gone.
We'll kill the rebels tonight.
We've gotten information we needed.
We'll attack their headquarters.
They'll be a memory within hours.
Her history suggests she'll be difficult.
I'll break her.
She's going to be my masterpiece.
