Mike breaks Sean out of the place he is held, learning Visitor Martial Arts.. His Visitor Fu teacher comes after him with instructions to kill Mike.. Sean is still under the control of the evil Visitor drug that makes him hate his father.. Robin finally returns home.. Plot: In a training exercise, a Visitor ( Made to resemble Diana ) is being stalked by Klaus, a master assassin stationed in Berlin during the original occupation and known as ” The Exterminator..” When she fails to elude him, he kills her.. Diana and Lydia explain to Nathan that this has been a test for Klaus, whom Diana wants to act as Security Officer to protect her legation in LA.. Nathan refuses her request.. At Club Creole, the Resistance are shown slides of the Klaus and the Youth Corps – Mike recognizes Sean on the slides.. Mike decides to make another attempt to rescue Sean.. Julie, distracted by Mike, snaps at Elizabeth, who she has promised to take outside.. Robin, meanwhile, tries the doors to the club but finds them padlocked.. Elizabeth hears Kyle’s bike and goes out to meet him.. Kyle offers to take Elizabeth on the ‘ Bates tour of LA;’ clutching tightly to Kyle, the two speed away.. Upon their return, Kyle leaves Elizabeth while he buys them some ice cream, and Elizabeth then spots Robin going into a movie theatre across the street.. She tries to get inside the theatre to Robin, but is stopped by two ushers and the manager.. Almost incoherent and confused, Elizabeth subconsciously uses her powers to overpower the three men, throwing them into the wall.. Seeing Elizabeth in trouble, Kyle grabs her and they take off on the bike.. At the Visitor Embassy, posing as a delivery driver and bribing the gate guard with a mouse, Donovan sneaks into the Legation and grabs Sean, who was being trained in combat techniques of ” Revoc,” which includes a move called Silent Strike, by Klaus.. Diana sees them leave, and authorizes Klaus to follow and kill Donovan.. Klaus gives chase on a motorcycle, with two Visitor patrolmen, but Donovan gets away when a special device on his van releases an oil slick onto the road.. However, Sean doesn’t have much appreciation for being rescued and tells his father that Klaus will find him and kill him.. Back outside the Club Creole, Elizabeth sees Robin enter a movie theatre across the street.. But as she rushes to find her mother, Elizabeth is stopped by the manager and a pair of ushers.. Confused and cornered, she causes a scene when she uses her powers to shove the three men out of her way.. Just as some Visitors are about to investigate, Kyle rushes her away.. Nathan Bates’s special associate, Mr Chiang, makes his first appearance.. He has news of a girl exhibiting extraordinary powers at the Sixth Street Cinema.. Surely it can’t be the Star Child, because Nathan Bates thinks she’s only eight years old and the girl at the theatre was probably around sixteen.. But the girl reportedly left with Kyle Bates, so Nathan’s interest is piqued.. He orders Mr Chiang to find Kyle and report back.. At Club Creole, Juliet and Elias are also frantically looking for Elizabeth – and Julie blames herself for the disappearance because of her earlier abruptness with Elizabeth.. Kyle and Elizabeth head to the nearby hills to avoid the Visitors.. They come across a horse whom Kyle cannot touch, but whom Elizabeth tames instantly.. When more Visitors arrive, Kyle and Elizabeth are forced to escape on the horse.. Mike takes Sean to a safe house, where he tries to convince the boy that he cannot accept the ‘ simple ‘ truths being taught by Klaus.. Mike throws Sean’s Visitor Youth Pin to the ground, and Sean runs off – but not before telling Mike about one of the Youth Corps tests: to kill ones parents.. Klaus, tracking the pair, finds the Pin.. He takes off his right hand, which is mechanical, and attaches an energy whip, which he uses to flatten the van’s tires.. He finds Mike and Sean on the porch looking at a family picture.. Ordering Sean to return to the Embassy, Klaus attacks Mike with his electrical whip, who defends himself with a wooden bench.. Donovan gains the upper hand and knocks Klaus into a ravine and leaves him for dead.. Sean makes his way to the road, where he is picked up by Ham.. After telling Ham that Mike is dead, he manages to knock Ham out and runs off.. Elizabeth and Kyle spend the night by a riverbank.. After Kyle makes sure that there are no Visitors around, they decide to return the horse and head back to Club Creole.. Elizabeth deftly avoids Kyle’s questions about the events at the theatre.. Robin finally returns to Club Creole, and is reunited with Julie and Elias.. Julie takes Robin aside to explain what has happened to Elizabeth since the Second Invasion.. Kyle and Elizabeth return the horse to the local Equestrian Centre, and then head uphill to get Kyle’s bike.. While they are talking, Kyle manages to figure out Elizabeth’s identity.. Kyle tells Elizabeth that he does not care who she is or what she can do, he is only glad that she is with him.. They share a tender kiss.. Donovan finally makes his way to the road in pursuit of Sean.. He once again manages to elude Klaus, hitching a ride on the back of a passing truck.. Sean, meanwhile, has voluntarily returned to the Visitor Embassy, and Diana is confident that Mike will follow.. She is correct – when Mike arrives, he finds Klaus alone with Sean.. While Ham throws a tear gas bomb at the Embassy gate, Mike engages in another battle with Klaus, this time using a broom handle for defense.. As Klaus thrusts the whip towards Mike, Donovan opens a nearby fuse box, electrocuting him.. Sean picks up Mike’s gun but is unable to shoot his father, and runs out to the hallway.. There he is confronted by Diana, and finds both Diana and Mike calling for him to join them. Sean chooses Diana, but Mike vows to get Sean back.. Robin finds her way to the Club Creole.. Elizabeth is not there, but Julie prepares Robin with the information about her daughter’s recent change.. Kyle and Elizabeth finally make it back to Club Creole, where Julie berates Kyle for his thoughtlessness in taking her for a ride.. Elizabeth charms Juliet out of her anger, and is finally reunited with her mother.. Eventually Elizabeth returns and is reunited with her mother.. At Science Frontiers, Kyle is brought to see Nathan by Mr Chiang.. Nathan asks Kyle about ” the girl from the cinema “ and Kyle refuses to elaborate.. When Nathan threatens Kyle, the younger Bates stalks out of the office with: ” You’ll do what? Cut me out of your will? Go ahead.. I’ve got no taste for blood money..” Blooper Details: When Kyle rescues Elizabeth from the cinema, he yells ” Get On!” as she moves toward his bike.. However, his lips don’t move! Obviously the vocal was added later.. Klaus has a long scar by his right eye.. Since the human ” skin “ the Visitors wear is only a disguise, wouldn’t the scar be repaired? When Mike is driving the van and being pursued by Visitors after his rescue of Sean, the back doors of the van are blown off by a Visitor blast.. However, none of the pursuing Visitors had fired at the van! When Mike greases the road, one of the pursuing Visitors starts to spin out before he hits the grease.. Sean seems to spend a lot of time fingering a black studded glove.. Perhaps it was a tracking device? Or maybe the Pin is? That would explain why Klaus found them so quickly.. During the second raid on the Embassy, one of the Visitors is physically injured by a tear gas bomb! The scene of Klaus’ training exercise was copied from ” From Russia With Love “ ( An assassin stalks and garrottes a Russian disguised as Sean Connery ).. When Kyle and Elizabeth were in the park, Kyle went up to the horse and pulled on its reins so that one side was undone and hanging down.. Then he backed off, the horse reared and the one side undone was still flapping in the air.. The next shot was Elizabeth talking to a much more docile horse and both of the reins were tied on.. Klaus tells Sean that he beat ” one of our own “ during silent strike.. So shouldn’t the other boys blood be green? When Mike goes into the Legation at the end of the episode he does a dive and roll over a small hedge, and seem to clear the road by the hedge as well, ending up right by the Legation wall! This episode, and the two before it, demonstrate the continuity problems V had all series.. Mike’s been totally obsessed with Sean for 3 consecutive episodes, but now he won’t mention him again for about 5 episodes.. Trivia: Quotes: ( Sean tells Ham that Mike is dead ): ( Kyle figures out Elizabeth’s identity ):” The Sanction..”
Sean: You should be glad my father’s dead..
Ham: Watch your mouth when you talk about your dad..
Sean: You didn’t like him..
Ham: ” Like “ had nothing to do with it.. Your father and I saw things differently..
Sean: He shouldn’t have come after me..
Ham: You don’t understand, do you? He loved you.. You were his son.. I’d have done the same thing..
Kyle: You’re really something, you know that? You turn a movie theater into a disaster area; you walk right up to a horse that I can’t get within 10 feet of; and you don’t have the slightest idea how you did it..
Elizabeth: I’m sorry..
Kyle: No, don’t be sorry.. You’re something special … the Starchild.. That’s it, isn’t it Elizabeth? I don’t understand – you’re supposed to be 8 years old.. Your mother … your mother …
Elizabeth: Please, I don’t want to be who I am.. I thought that we could just …
Kyle: Wait a minute … ( Grabs her arm )
Elizabeth: Let me go!
Kyle: No, not until I’m finished! I don’t care what you are or where you came from.. I’m just glad you’re here now … with me..
