Previously on V...
How many times have I warned you
your hatred would cost you your faith?
The hostage has now been
identified as Erica Evans.
I have no illusions I'm gonna walk out of here alive.
- But you and John Fierro must. - You want me to leave?
- Prove me right about you, Erica Evans. - You betrayed your friends.
- I can never forgive you. - I have an assignment for you from Anna...
Bring this within 100 yards of Eli Cohn's building.
(Whoosh)
If you would have stopped the Fifth Column,
then maybe Dad would be alive! (Loud slap)
Tyler...
I can't tell you how sorry I am about your father's death.
Thomas tells me
you've adapted nicely to life on the mother ship...
That you've embraced the pilot training program.
Yes. Everything's been great up here.
Thank you.
Before one can begin deep space flight,
all pilots must take one final physical examination.
A formality, of course.
It all starts here.
(Clipper buzzing)
The examination will assess Tyler's D.N.A.
to assure that he's medically ready.
Have Joshua report back with the results immediately.
Yes, my Queen.
Finally, everything's falling into place.
Eli Cohn and the Fifth Column have been obliterated.
Marcus will recover from his injuries.
Concordia moves forward.
Soon, the landing sites for our breeding ships
can begin construction, and with Tyler aboard,
we can begin the next phase of interbreeding.
(Door squeaks)
I'm surprised you didn't bring a hatbox.
Don't worry. I won't crowd your closet space.
I'll leave plenty of room for all your cool black t-shirts.
(Chuckles) Yeah.
It's only temporary until I can find a place.
You know, twelve years in the church,
and my whole life fits into two duffel bags.
(Door closes)
What's the over-under on you two
killing each other within the week?
Erica, I've been trying to reach you. You okay?
I'm fine. Thanks.
Have you talked to Tyler?
Not since Joe's funeral. He's on the ship.
He won't return my calls. I don't wanna talk about it.
I'm sorry. (Knock on door)
Who the hell is that?
That is Fierro... Eli's man. I asked him to meet us here.
You gave him my address?
We need to trust this guy. He is our only conduit
to the army we need to take Anna down.
You are still on bereavement leave.
Are you sure you're ready to jump back into this?
Anna wants a war. I'm gonna give her one.
Let him in.
(Buzzer sounds, door squeaks)
(Door closes)
John Fierro, this is Kyle Hobbes, Jack Landry...
My top lieutenants.
Good to meet you.
Well, I walked through fire with Eli.
- If he trusted you, then so do I. - I'm glad to hear it,
because I am ready to assume leadership of the Fifth Column,
as Eli requested.
There's a small group of trusted lieutenants
from around the world. Eli relied on them.
In the wake of his death, they're gathering in Bangkok
to strategize. You need to be there.
Fake I.D.s have gotten me
- in and out of the East a time or two. - (Erica) I guess we're going to Bangkok.
How do we get started?
(Beeping)
His vitals are excellent,
but his phosphorus levels are not as high as they need to be.
Red Rain should have infused him
with more than enough phosphorus for interbreeding.
(Joshua) Every human's biology is unique.
Tyler's body appears to be rejecting
the surge of phosphorus.
Administer a concentrated dose to him.
I cannot guarantee Tyler will absorb enough to make him viable.
We may have to alter our plans.
Have the backup candidates been tested?
Rafael, a young man from Barcelona.
He is our most promising.
Arrange for Rafael to visit with Lisa.
What if she rejects him?
Lisa will breed with whomever I tell her to.
(Electronic whoosh)
Tyler, you're gonna be a great pilot.
Really? I passed my physical?
Yes.
In fact, Thomas says you're ready for your first overnight flight.
Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
Go get ready. Tyler...
I'm counting on you.
It'll be easier to explore Rafael's potential
with him out of the way.
Administer the phosphorus injection to Tyler
and see how he responds.
And if his levels remain low?
Then unfortunately for him...
He's no longer of use to us.

(indistinct conversations)
We respected Eli,
but his decision to hand over leadership was unilateral
and unnecessary.
We already have many plans in motion, Agent Evans,
including a strike to avenge Eli's death.
Oh, the suicide bombings?
The attacks against innocent humans?
You're throwing pebbles at a giant.
I told you this was a waste of time.
Stop. If we are going to defeat the V's,
we need to change tactics.
Eli died at the hands of the Visitors
because his plan didn't work.
We are going to bring this war to Anna.
I have contacts on her ship...
access that you don't have...
That you will never have.
Eli chose her to lead.
We owe it to him to give her a chance.
Present us with a plan.
If you do not, leadership will pass to someone
who's already proven their worth.
(Footsteps approach)
Tyler's very excited about the pilot training program.
He leaves on his first overnight trip tonight.
All of your plans are coming together.
Tyler hasn't spoken to his mother in over a week.
We are finally becoming his family.
In the meantime, I have an assignment for you.
While Tyler is away, you'll meet a young man named Rafael.
I want you to entertain him.
But what about Tyler?
If he senses my disloyalty to him,
it could upset everything.
My plans for Tyler are none of your concern.
You will entertain Rafael.
Don't question me again.
(Computer alert ringing)
(Computer beeps)
Hi. How'd the meeting go?
Eli Cohn's lieutenants don't think I have what it takes to lead them.
We fought this war on our own before, Erica.
It's bigger than us now, Jack.
If we're going to defeat Anna, we need an army to do it.
How do we do that?
(Erica) We start by asking the big question...
Why are the Visitors here?
If we know what Anna wants, we'll know how to stop her.
(Jack) Well, we know they want us for breeding.
But we don't know what that actually means.
(Chad) The live-aboards.
When I interviewed Anna last week, she said that
the next batch of live-aboards to come up will be the last.
If Anna's stopping live-aboards...
(Chad) It means she got whatever she needed.
- Question is, what? - There might be someone on the ship
who can help us find out...
Anna's daughter Lisa. She's a friend.
Anna's daughter is working against her?
Anna can never find out.
Get to Lisa. Tell her I sent you.
Sid, where are you in the DNA research?
I reached out to the global scientific community.
- And? - Seems there were cases
of other boys with part of their DNA missing,
but so far, all the ones I've found died as infants.
Keep looking. We need to find everything we can about those other boys.
(Computer beeps)
(Indistinct conversations)
What did Eli tell you about his son's death?
Well, he had me investigate it.
So I started with the doctor who delivered him... Avner Nizani.
Were you able to find this Nizani?
He's dead. But I kept digging,
looked into his practice.
Turns out all the babies that he delivered eighteen years ago...
An unusually high number of them died.
The cause of death was listed as sudden infant death syndrome.
It's possible that those babies died
because their D.N.A. was messed with.
They wouldn't have thought to check for that.
Yeah, I found a common link between the babies who died...
All their mothers suffered from pre-eclampsia.
Many of the mothers also were treated by the same specialist...
Dr. Veena Rai.
I know her.
She treated me. I looked everywhere for her.
- But you couldn't find her? - No. How did you know that?
I couldn't either, but I reached out.
I enlisted help from Eli's contacts around the world.
- Any luck? - Yeah.
There's a cop in Hong Kong that thinks he's found Dr. Rai.
If it is Rai, she might know
what the Visitors did to those boys and why.
I wanna talk to Dr. Rai.
We're going to Hong Kong.
Leave us.
Rafael is en route from Barcelona as you requested.
According to his file, his phosphorus levels are ideal.
Joshua, you're one of my most trusted advisers.
What I'm about to ask you requires the utmost discretion.
I'm beginning to sense a weakness in Lisa.
It's possible she's experiencing human emotions.
What can I do to help, my Queen?
Lie to her.
Tell her your memory is returning...
That you recall what it's like to experience human emotions.
Whatever she says or does,
report to me directly.
(Electric whirring)
(Diana) It's taken a week
for you to decide you can trust me?
I would have come sooner,
but my mother watches my every move.
You're under a great deal of pressure as future queen.
What's troubling you, my dear?
A while ago,
my mother instructed me to get close to a boy named Tyler.
Now she's ordered I get close to someone else.
Why would she do that?
Another boy?
Anna must be changing her plans.
You care for this boy Tyler, don't you?
(Lisa) No.
Our species is not supposed to have human emotions.
Embrace them, Lisa.
I had to learn the hard way. Emotions can give you power
unlike anything else.
If my mother ever knew, she'd...
Throw you down here like she did me.
That's why she can never know
that you have feelings for Tyler...
For any human being.
What about the other boy?
I don't wanna be with him.
You shouldn't have to, Lisa. But you must protect yourself.
You must convince Anna that you are
the loyal and obedient daughter she expects you to be.
Your safety and our survival depend on it.
Lisa.
Chad Decker, WNT news.
Yes. My mother speaks very highly of you.
I've been meaning to talk to Anna
about doing an exclusive interview with you...
What it's like being the... The V First Daughter.
- It'd be a great piece. - Whatever my mother wants.
Erica Evans says you might be able to help me.
And why would Mrs. Evans say that?
Because I'm working with her.
I don't know what you mean.
I know the truth, Lisa.
You helped Erica destroy Anna's soldier eggs.
You wanna stop your mother...
Just like I do.
What do you want from me?
I know the live-aboards have been tortured.
You need to help us find out why.
Lives depend on it, Lisa.
Please.
(Electronic whoosh)
(Whoosh)
(Beeping)
(Electronic whoosh)
Lisa.
May I have a word?
Joshua, what are you doing here?
As you know, when I was shot, my memory was wiped clean.
Lately, some of it has started to return.
I only remember fragments, but...
I do remember being Fifth Column.
And feeling human emotion.
These memories seem so real.
I want to talk about them.
And I remember that I once did...
With you.
Obviously, you remember wrong.
Of course, my Queen.
Forgive me.
(Indistinct conversations)
(Man speaks Chinese dialect)
Are you kidding? Hong Kong cops never heard of a doughnut shop?
Chicken feet are a delicacy.
Fierro told us that you've tracked down
someone Eli was looking for... A Dr. Veena Rai.
Is this who you're looking for?
That's her.
She took a long time to find.
She's living under an assumed name here in Hong Kong.
Maybe we should pay her a visit. Rai lives in a highly secure building.
The police are wired into apartment security,
so I could give you access,
- but I can't shut the system down. - I can. Hacking's my specialty.
Well, it's one specialty, anyway.
(Chiang) You'd only have a very short window.
The system does internal checks every fifteen minutes.
It sounds an alarm if anything is amiss.
Just get us in. We need to find out what Rai did to my son.
The Hong Kong P.D. will never know we were there.
(Radio chatter)
(Computer beeps)
(radio chatter)
(Beeping)
(Grunts)
(Whispers) Careful.
(Radio chatter)
- That was subtle. - Yeah.
We go on Chiang's signal.
(Beeping)
All right. We're in.
(Cell phone beeps)
(Cell phone rings)
Yeah?
(Chiang) Erica, we've tapped in.
The monitors will now go on a loop. You've got fifteen minutes
before the system automatically reboots.
(Beep, static crackles)
(Beeping) Good to go.
Now.
Let's go.
(Beeping)
(Knock on door)
(Guns cock)
- (Erica) Who do you think you are? - (Veena) Uhh!
- I trusted you. - Who are you people?
You treated me... Me and my baby, eighteen years ago.
- You were supposed to take care of us! - You're making a mistake!
I don't know who you are!
Please...
(Grunts)
(Erica) Get her hands.
(Blade whooshes) (Veena) No. No!
(Squishing) Aah!
(Breathing heavily)
(Squishing)
She's a V.
(Panting) Let me be very clear.
I am going to skin you slowly from neck to tail
until you tell me everything that you did to my son.
I'm gonna keep you alive so that you feel every cut.
Tell me where your safe is.
Where?
Where?! (Groans)
(Whispers) The bedroom.
Show me.
(Hobbes) Come on. We've gotta move.
(Bang) (Grunts)
It's up there.
Oh, I like that one, sweetheart. The lizard's safe.
Rai, what's the combination?
(Grunts)
(Erica) No!
(Wind whistling)
(Siren wailing in distance) We got to move.
We're gonna need tools...
Power drill, flashlight, whatever you can find.
Hurry. Cops will be here soon.
Flashlight!
I got the drill.
(Both panting)
Got to raise the pressure on the inside
so it's higher than it is on the outside.
Trick is not blowing up the content in the process.
(Whirring)
Pretty quick to slice and dice back there, Agent Evans.
How'd you know Rai was a lizard?
I didn't.
I like this new you.
(Chuckles)
That's very Mission: Impossible.
Det-cord... I never leave home without it.
Good thing. (Pants)
(Siren wailing in distance)
- Got that flashlight? - Yeah.
Thank you.
- Here, your hands are small. - Yeah.
- Let's jam it into that thing. - Obviously.
Now keep going, keep going. All the way in, just like...
- Yeah, I got it. - Keep going. Just like that.
Like, half an inch exposed.
Okay, that's good, that's good.
(Siren wailing in distance)
- I'll let you finish. - I'll take it from here, yeah.
(Siren continues wailing in distance)
(Beeps, whine)
(Beep, bang, clatter)
It's a holo-device. We found one in Malik's safe.
(Normal voice) Go.
It's okay. We've got two minutes.
(Radio chatter)
(Erica) Thank you.
(Woman) Hey, taxi! Hold on!
(Horn honking)
Jack. Just hear me out, okay?
What are you gonna say, Ryan? Huh? You lied to us.
You betrayed us. I never gave your names to Anna.
Your actions killed dozens of people.
- Erica's ex-husband is dead because of you. - You don't think I know that?
Anna had my baby, Jack.
Yeah, okay, I made a mistake, but there was nothing else that I could do.
No, Ryan. You could have told us the truth.
We didn't even know you survived the bombing.
I have to get my baby away from Anna.
I need help.
You know, of all the people, I thought you would be the one that understands.
Everybody needs a second chance.
I'm not a priest anymore, Ryan. It's not my job to absolve you.
(Chiang) Rai visited the same cities over and over for nineteen years.
(Erica) Hmm. (Click)
(Electronic whoosh)
(Beep)
(Electronic whoosh)
There's 29 boys here.
In 29 cities.
Each one has a mother ship parked over them.
They're there because of those boys.
Yeah.
(Beep)
(Erica) Oh, my God.
Tyler's not the only one.
If Anna has others...
That means that Tyler...
My son... is expendable.
(Beep, whoosh)
We'll figure it out, Erica.
We'll figure it out, we'll stop her...
And we'll keep Tyler safe.
Any idea what these are?
Prenatal vitamins. I took those when I was pregnant.
What? Why would a doctor keep prenatal vitamins in a safe?
They wouldn't, unless they were trying to hide something.
What the hell was that?
(Door squeaks)
(Door closes) Welcome back.
I thought you were done with the priest routine.
Well, it doesn't work like that. Wherever I walk, He walks.
Try to keep Him contained to your corner, eh?
Why? You afraid of what He's gonna find in yours?
So, um, how'd it go in Hong Kong?
We found prenatal pills
with these freaky metal bugs inside them.
Science boy's taking a look.
Also, seems that
Erica's kid isn't the only one that Anna's keeping her eye on.
There are 28 more.
Really?
(Cell phone rings)
(Cell phone rings, beep)
Erica.
We'll be right there.
(Indistinct conversations)
(Cell phone rings)
Thank you.
(Cell phone rings, beep)
Chad Decker.
(Lisa) Chad...
I found out why my mother wanted the live-aboards.
I'm sending you information that will explain it all.
(Beep)
(Sid) Come here. Look at this. They must have programmed
these things to go after D.N.A. with a Y-chromosome.
That's why the pregnant mothers and baby girls weren't affected.
Okay, so we know what the V's did and how they did it,
but we still don't know why.
They created empty space inside the D.N.A. to put something in,
- but what? - I think I might know.
Lisa came through.
She downloaded the live-aboards' medical files.
Anna isn't choosing these live-aboards randomly.
She is inviting people up to the ship who are exceptional...
Genetically exceptional.
"High fertility. Elevated immunity.
Longevity." And this part...
"Gene extraction complete."
And those dates must be when they put the live-aboards
into the needle machine.
She's stealing D.N.A. from the live-aboards.
She's not just stealing any D.N.A.
She is harvesting the best of the best.
That's awesome. I... I mean, definitely not awesome,
but it explains something that's been driving me crazy.
(Key clicks, beep)
All right. Look, this is from Alpha, the V skeleton I found.
His D.N.A. is a hundred times more complex than normal D.N.A.
But then, there's this. This is Malik's D.N.A.
It's 1,000 times more complex than Alpha's. Weird, right?
Yeah. Okay, so?
The genetic evolution from Alpha to Malik should have taken...
5,000 years. The V's did it in fifty.
Give it to us in English, Einstein.
This explains why the V's didn't just annihilate us.
They need us alive. They're stealing the best of our D.N.A.
They're using us to fast-track their own evolution.
(Anna) Rafael has arrived.
Did you approach Lisa like I asked?
I did.
She gave no indication she's ever felt human emotion.
She could be testing you.
You may be right.
I saw Lisa looking through medical files.
What files?
I don't know...
But she does not know that I saw her.
I was told this is where I could find Lisa.
You must be Rafael.
I didn't know you had arrived.
Yes. A short time ago.
This ship...
It is quite impressive.
Well, you've only seen a small part.
Once I show you the rest...
You'll never want to leave.
You're very handsome.
I can't do this. I'm sorry.
You have to go.
(Footsteps approach)
(Anna) Why did you send him away?
You directly disobeyed my orders.
I'm tired of being told what to do.
I demand you tell me what your plan is for me.
How dare you talk to me like that?
You want to strike me, don't you?
(Whispers) Yes.
(Normal voice) I do.
Then what's stopping you?
(Loud slap)
(Loud smack)
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry, Mother.
(Anna) Don't be.
It's your breeding skin
fueling the aggression you need to become Queen.
But you're not Queen yet,
and until you are, you will do as I tell you.
The problem with Lisa
may be more serious than I first thought.
We cannot proceed with interbreeding without Lisa.
There's something I need to show you.
(Beeping)
(Clank, hiss)
A Queen egg.
I had it preserved.
The last of my clutch.
If Lisa proves disloyal, she can be replaced.
This egg is my only alternate to interbreeding.
The very survival of our species may depend on it.
Can you hatch it safely?
- Yes. - Then begin the process immediately.
But it will take years
for the new Queen to reach reproductive maturity.
Our accelerated growth experiments
- have not proven successful. - Then run more.
The children from your final clutch have all matured.
The only option would be...
The hybrid baby.
At birth, she did appear more Visitor than human...
- Our skin, our tail, our claws. - Do it.
Such experimentation could result in the hybrid's death.
Then she'll die serving her Queen.
It's possible the Visitors have been doing this
all across the universe,
consuming the best of every life-form they encounter
to create a superior, master species.
Now they're doing it here on Earth.
And these boys fit in how?
Each of the 29 boys is missing a part of their D.N.A.
There's a void.
We believe that the V's plan to fill that void
using a mixture of the genes they have stolen.
What happens after they insert the new D.N.A?
I'll find out.
In just two days, working with my team,
I have uncovered a vital part of the V's plan.
Imagine what I could do with an army.
What you've discovered is most impressive. What's next?
Before I tell you, I need to know that you trust me
unequivocally as leader of the Fifth Column.
We're ready to follow you, Agent Evans... All of us.
Anna is about to welcome the final group of live-aboards onto the ship.
We suspect that once she gets their D.N.A.,
she'll have what she needs
to move on to the next part of her plan.
We're going to stop that from happening.
(Thomas) Tyler is proving to be quite a capable pilot.
Good. Joshua, check Tyler's phosphorus levels immediately.
I'm still hopeful we can move forward with him.
How did Lisa respond to Rafael?
Not as well as I would have liked.
I convinced him to stay on the ship for now.
However, Lisa must be dealt with.
Joshua, how are we progressing with my backup plan?
We've initiated the experimentation as you requested.
Perhaps you'd like to see the results for yourself.
(Joshua) The hybrid survived the aging experiment.
However, there was an unforeseen side effect.
Her maturation has strengthened her immune system.
Her body seems to have healed itself of its chronic pain.
That means we no longer have leverage over Ryan Nichols.
Where's my daughter?
Look at you.
Mommy!
Welcome back, Ryan.
Eli Cohn is dead
and the Fifth Column have been neutralized as a threat.
As a reward, you get to spend a few hours with your daughter.
Thank you, my Queen.
Excellent work, Joshua.
Ryan's cover has been compromised within Fifth Column.
He is no longer of any use to us.
Arrange to have him eliminated... quietly.
Man, there's nothing like that. I mean, nothing.
(Lisa) Tyler.
I missed you.
I missed you, too, but I have to go take a shower, because, uh,
Thomas is gonna teach me how to download my flight report...
Tyler! You can't keep running away from me.
What are you talking about?
I know you're holding in your emotions.
Your father just died.
It's okay to be sad,
to feel.
You don't get it, Lisa.
I don't want to feel anything anymore.
I just want to be a shuttle pilot
and forget about my past.
(Lisa) You were right.
I do care about Tyler.
He's the one I want to be with.
But I'm no longer sure he wants to be with me.
I'm sure you will figure it out, my dear. I will help you.
I am so grateful that I found you.
You're the only one that understands what I'm going through.
I learned a long time ago what you have already seen
and what your mother refuses to recognize...
The good in human emotion.
Tyler used to care. He... He used to feel.
Now I'm no longer sure.
I disobeyed her today.
I couldn't control my emotions.
Now I'm worried she suspects I've changed.
You're on very dangerous territory, my dear.
Your mother must suspect nothing.
Trust no one on the ship,
no one but me.
And you must keep my presence a secret.
I won't tell anyone.
I promise.
I know you are afraid, my dear...
But everything will be okay.
Why are you doing this?
Because your mother never did.
What's this?
I'm all alone up here.
It's so we can always be in touch
and not risk my mother finding out.
