Default Help identifying a plant

I agree with Cereus that it is bittersweet, based upon the long leaves,
brown stems and large fruits. Euonymus have smaller leaves that are more
leathery, green stems and relatively smaller fruits. Both are noxious weeds.

Could someone please help me identify this plant...

http://www.user.shentel.net/eddie180/FP/100_0846e.jpg

This is a viney plant in an arboretum in Northern Virginia growing
on a tree. We thought it might be mistletoe, but it had red berries.
Its rather cold here now, but the leaves on this plant are green
and the berries fully developed.

Thanks in advance
