They now have complete control of the planet, and have many human collaborators..

The Resistance puts together a dangerous plan to attend the ceremony and unmask John on live television.. The plan works, and the Resistance group is rescued by Martin and the Fifth Columnists, but Julie is captured and taken aboard the Mothership for conversion.. Detailed Synopsis: Bloopers: During the big battle at the beginning of the show at the Production Facility, the conveyor belt is stopped.. In a faraway shot you see it still moving and the next shot it is stopped again.. When Julie and Robert infiltrate the hospital using the forged passes, the pass is shown twice as it is inserted into the reader.. In the first shot, it slides in down whole, but the reader is still buzzing.. In the second, the card starts sliding in again.. When Daniel is letting Elias into the Medical Center, he is not wearing his gold collar and gold armband on his uniform.. Later, when Daniel harasses some medical students, he is wearing the gold collar and armband.. And still later, when Daniel is brought to Security Headquarters with Brian, the gold collar and armband are missing again.. Trivia: Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original V mini – series, supervised the writing of the sequel but left Warner Brothers Television over creative differences before it was produced.. Dennis McCarthy was hired after the producers felt that music composed by Barry DeVorzon and Joseph Conlan lacked the right feel.. You can hear the difference in styles from the second part, as it contains music from all three composers.. The third part was composed entirely by McCarthy.. When this movie originally aired, the first 30 minutes of it’s running time had an announcer recapping the events of the first movie.. The Resistance learned about the food processing plant thanks to an informant named Jenny.. She had followed the Visitors to the location after her husband was taken.. During the attack on the plant, Jenny is mortally wounded.. Early on, Kristine runs into a Dr. Walker who berates her for collaborating with the Visitors.. Shortly afterward, the doctor is abducted by Brian and sent to Diana’s conversion chamber.. When Kristine next sees him, the doctor is friendly and doesn’t acknowledge their last meeting, which confuses Kristine.. Daniel Bernstein is now a Youth Leader in charge of the entire L.A. chapter of the Friends of the Visitors.. Maggie poses as a nurse at the L.A. Medical Center to seduce Daniel and gather information from him.. The device used by Pascal to copy the special event pass sounds like a sensor viewer from the original Star Trek series.. Diana and Brian are seen in bed together, watching the video of Brian’s seduction of Robin.. Diana suggests that Brian show her how humans have sex.. Willie notices the green patch around Robin’s neck and asks when her baby is due.. The place and time of Donovan’s meeting with Kristine was the Equestrian Club on the Main Bridge Trail at 2 pm.. Donovan remarks that the Visitors have increased people’s rations – perhaps to fatten them up? Security for John’s announcement consists of three levels: Special passes outside; troops in the lobby and corridors; and new security doors that make the lobby impenetrable.. The L.A. Medical Center was to be the first hospital to open its doors to people to receive the cancer vaccine.. Father Andrew reveals that he once killed a man in his South African church to protect two children who were going to be killed as suspected guerillas.. Quotes: Julie: The Visitors are not our friends.. They have come to rape our planet and kill us.. They are not who they appear to be.. ( Rips John’s mask off ) This is not science fiction! This is what they are! Julie: Mike we need you, I need you, but if you can’t give us your best than you should go before you really hurt us.. Elias: ( To Fred ) We may not be much, but we’re all you’ve got between the life you had and the life you’re not going to have..

The Visitors launch a raid on the resistance hideout, but are defeated.. Diana believes she has successfully converted Julie, although she has more problems to worry about.. Pamela, commander of theVisitor fleet, has taken charge of all Diana’s operations.. A Fifth Column assassination attempt on Diana causes the Visitors to move their high – profile prisoners to Earth.. The resistance is quick to act, and rescues Julie; however, Ruby is shot while trying to escape.. Plot: Two people – Ham Tyler and associate Chris Farber – join the Resistance.. Ham reveals the existence of an international resistance force that can supply armor – piercing ammunition and the Visitors’ apparent plan to attack the hideout.. The fiasco of the previous evening forces Diana to have the scene re – enacted under heavy security managing the audience at gunpoint, to be passed off as the actual broadcast.. The Visitors storm the rebel hideout, but the rebels escape with the help of Tyler and Farber and further advance warning from Ruby, who’s now working at their security headquarters as a cleaner.. They relocate to an old western movie studio.. Julie undergoes Diana’s conversion process, but proves to be tough to crack even under the advanced stages.. After she successfully pleads to Diana to stop the procedures, Mike Donovan bursts in and attempts to shoot Diana, but Jake kills him in time.. It is later revealed that the man appearing to be Mike is a Fifth Column agent in disguise.. Because of the danger of Fifth Column infiltration ( Especially now with the arrival of Diana’s superior, Squadron Commander Pamela ), Martin suggests that all major prisoners be transferred from the mothership to the security headquarters on the ground for further protection.. Mark’s girlfriend, Maggie Blodgett, who has seduced collaborator and Visitor Youth member Daniel Bernstein, brings this information to the rebels, who see the opportunity and rescue Julie.. Daniel, however, kills Ruby after she cuts the power for the laser fencing, a critical part of the operation.. Once again in the ranks of the Resistance, Julie tells the others of a 30 – day plan to steal all the water from southern California by means of a water pipeline to a Visitor mothership.. With the aid of devices that shift their voices and make them similar to the Visitors, the rebels scout the facility and prepare to destroy it.. Tyler questions Julie’s loyalty after her conversion, but she responds firmly and retains command in front of the others; when alone, however, she feels weak and unsure about herself, and finally seeks comfort in Mike’s arms.. At the same time, Maggie confronts Mark over their relationship in light of her undercover liaison with Daniel.. They make peace, and he proposes to her.. The attack on the water facility goes as planned, and after placing experimental explosive charges of Ham’s devise, a firefight ensues between the rebels and the aliens.. Mark is wounded and stays back to cover the escape, sacrificing his life – something that Maggie would grieve over.. Later on, Diana and Stephen appear in a news bulletin along with Sean, whom Stephen had Brian take out of stasis per a favor from Eleanor Dupres.. It is a clear invitation for Mike to surrender to them in exchange for his son.. Mike does so and is taken on a mothership, while Ham and Julie bring Sean to safety.. The rebels relocate to an old city jail afterwards.. A Fifth Column agent named Oliver visits Mike at his cell and offers a suicide pill to prevent him from divulging information about both the Resistance and the Fifth Column, in light of Diana’s ultra – potent truth serum.. In the nick of time, however, Jake kills Oliver and Diana injects Mike with the drug.. The effects take place immediately, with Mike forced to compromise Martin who is present; Martin then tries to shoot Diana, but she escapes with the knowledge that Martin is a Fifth Columnist.. Donovan and Martin then escape themselves into the mothership’s airshafts.. The episode ends when Robin goes into labor and via a caesarian section gives birth to fraternal twins – a human looking girl with a forked tongue, and a reptilian boy.. Bloopers: When Donovan was shot at distance in V: The Mini – Series, the laser blast burnt a hole in his shirt and left a burn on his skin.. Yet when Brian shoots Dan Pascal, the laser blast leaves no mark.. Eleanor gives Steven a picture of her grandson, Sean so he can find him.. Later, he passes that picture to someone else and it has changed sizes, it’s bigger than the one she had originally given him.. When Pamela is shot in the shoulder by Diana, there is a scorch mark on her uniform.. Diana than shoots her in the stomach, but there is no scorch mark, only a few sparks to show the impact.. When Julie is rescued by the Resistance at the Visitor Security headquarters, Stephen is seen walking with Diana behind Julie and Martin.. Several shots later he is shown standing next to the building, and later he is seen arriving at the building again along with Diana.. Trivia: Chris Farber ( Mickey Jones ) was originally supposed to have the last name of ” Faber “ but Michael Ironside ( Ham Tyler ) kept pronouncing Farber so they changed it.. ( This is why scripts and books will often have Faber rather than Farber ).. Kenneth Johnson, who co – wrote the story for all three parts of The Final Battle, is credited under the pseudonym ‘ Lillian Weezer..’ The Visitor uniforms have been altered since V: The Mini Series.. In addition to the standard red uniformed Visitor officers, and the black armoured Shock Troopers, there are now gold helmeted Security officers.. In addition, some of the Visitor officers ( For example Steven ) have gold sections on their uniforms; this may be to indicate that they have command over the new security forces.. Title: V: The Final Battle ” Part Three..” Date Aired: 08 May 1984 ( NBC ).. Running time: 2 hours ( Approx ).. Bloopers found: 0 Plot Summary: After revealing that Martin is the leader of the Fifth Column, Donovan and Martin escape the Mothership using parachutes.. Diana realises that Pamela, John, and Steven are plotting to undermine her efforts; however, Diana has planted a spy in the Resistance, so she is still vital to the success of the Visitors’ mission.. Meanwhile, the death of Robin’s lizard child has led to the creation of a toxin which can kill the Visitors.. The resistance captures Brian, and Robin tests the red dust on him, killing him instantly.. Fearing for the safety of Elizabeth, Robin’s other child, Father Andrew takes her to Diana.. After a short while, Diana kills him, and begins to test Elizabeth’s accellerated learning.. The Visitor fleet leaves Earth, except for the L.A. mothership.. Diana kills John, and activates the mothership’s self – destruct, which will destroy the entire planet.. The rebels storm the mothership command centre.. Diana is captured, but uses her hold over Julie to escape, and promptly steals a Skyfighter.. Martin pilots the mothership into space, while Donovan and Lorraine attempt to disarm the self – destruct; however, they cannot do it in time.. With seconds to spare, Elizabeth is able to shut it down.. Martin heads the mothership back to Earth … but have we seen the last of Diana? Plot: The first few days after Robin’s delivery prove to be challenging for her and the others.. The male child dies while the baby girl, Elizabeth, begins to grow at a rapid rate.. Julie and Robert’s analysis of the male child’s corpse reveals certain bacteria that only affected the boy despite his proximity to Elizabeth in the uterus.. Encouraged by the sudden development, the duo decide to culture the germs as a potential weapon.. Mike Donovan and Martin escape by skydiving out of the mothership and Martin goes into hiding with other ground – based Fifth Columnists.. After Mike reaches the jail, the team discuss testing the bacterium, now called the ” Red Dust,” but reject Ham’s suggestion of using Willie as a guinea pig.. Instead, the rebels capture Brian at the Bernstein house and frame Daniel.. Stephen retaliates by sending Daniel off to be processed as food.. The team locks up Brian, and Robin ( With Elizabeth in tow ) visits him in the middle of the night.. However, the family reunion is short, as Robin seeks revenge by throwing a vial of the Red Dust into Brian’s holding chamber, with fatal results.. Father Andrew Doyle, the team’s resident priest, carries Elizabeth off to safety while the others look at the outcome.. While Ham and Mike mull over capturing a Visitor Youth member to be used as a human subject, Julie enters the chamber and proves the dust is non – lethal to humans.. Father Andrew brings Elizabeth to Diana, who makes them feel welcome, but later murders the priest after reading the Bible; the Bible makes Diana realize she is ‘ vulnerable..’ The danger of compromise forces the rebels to evacuate and regroup at a coastal lighthouse complex, where more Red Dust stocks are produced.. Ham and Mike also get into a small but physical argument over delivering the stocks to other resistance groups when a vaccine was not yet complete, one that would protect the Fifth Columnists.. Martin later asks Mike to stop producing the toxin, revealing the Visitors contingency plan: using their ships as doomsday devices if the situation was lost.. Despite the team’s debate over whether to attack or not, Elias successfully appeals to take a chance and possibly save the world.. The planning sessions take place, but Julie notices Sean overhearing the details.. She then tells Mike of the possibility that Sean was converted before the exchange, which Ham later confirms.. Sean escapes the hideout to warn the Visitors, but since the original plan of using USAF planes to spray the toxins was compromised, the rebels would use hot – air balloons instead.. Martin and a number of Fifth Column members arrive at the complex aboard a Visitor tanker vehicle, which will carry a stock of Red Dust for dispersal aboard the mothership.. They are later administered with a vaccine for the Red Dust.. The raid begins in earnest and Sean’s outdated information leads a bulk of the Visitor forces to secure all airbases for an attack that never arrives.. The tanker strike team manages to steal aboard the mothership, where Mike closes all security feeds as the rest of the team pump the toxin into the ventilation system.. Robert, Ham, and Chris lead the assault on the Visitor security headquarters.. Red Dust mortar blasts eliminate the defenders with no human casualties.. Desperate to escape, Stephen kills Eleanor, but Ham takes him down long enough to douse his face with a bag of Red Dust.. The balloons’ mass dispersal of Red Dust around the world will allow the deadly bacteria to multiply in the Earth’s ecosystem.. The Visitor forces evacuate Earth.. Diana activates the doomsday device aboard the Los Angeles ship ( After shooting John, who did not want any part of it ) while Mike, Julie, Elias, and Barbara are pinned down by Visitor troops in a ventilation tunnel.. The Red Dust begins to circulate, killing more soldiers.. Martin joins up with them as they face Diana at the bridge, where Barbara starts to disarm the auto – destruct machine.. The rebels and Visitors evacuate the ship while Martin brings it out of orbit.. Elizabeth steps up and finally stops the countdown using unknown powers.. Diana escapes after telepathically reminding Julie of her conversion session.. Martin brings the mothership back to Earth.. Bloopers: In the final shot of stars out of the mother ship’s front window, reflections of the sound stage lights are clearly visible.. Trivia:
The resistance then strikes another blow by destroying a major water pumping station, which has been pumping water to the mothership.. The Visitors locate Donovan’s son within their ship, and Donovan agrees to exchange himself for the boy.. Robin finally gives birth; to a human child with a forked tongue, and a lizard with human eyes..
Diana evenyually kills Pamela, blaming the death on a Fifth Columnist, and takes command of the Visitor operations.. Her spy, Sean Donovan, has informed her that the resistance plans to steal Air Force jets to spread the toxin.. However, the information turns out to be false, as the worldwide resistance begins to spread the toxin using hot – air balloons.. Ham Tyler leads an assault on the Visitor Secutrity Headquaters which is a complete success.. A small resistance force boards the L.A. mothership to spread the toxin there; however, Harmony is killed..
