"Previously on "V"..." "I have a message from Diana." "She's alive." "I need to know that you trust me as leader of the Fifth Column." "We're ready to follow you, Agent Evans." "You betrayed your friends." "I can never forgive you." "I have a daughter of my own." "Her name is Amy." " (Thomas) The hybrid survived the aging experiment." " Look at you." " (Lisa) Joshua, do you remember anything?" " I remember nothing." "I'm beginning to sense a weakness in Lisa." "Whatever she says or does, report to me." " How you holding up?" " I'm just trying to stay tough." " I know the feeling." " So what's our next move?" "We stay on the offensive, and we don't stop until we've won." "(Anna) This is Concordia." "The humans think they're building their future." "They're digging their own graves." "(Thunder rumbling)" "(Cheers and applause)" "(Camera shutters snap)" "(Amplified voice) For too long, we, the Visitors, have been the sole beneficiaries of our scientific advances..." "Advances, that upon our arrival, I promised we would share." "And so today, it is a momentous occasion as the next phase of construction" "of Concordia sites around the globe will begin, fulfilling our promise for a more peaceful and prosperous tomorrow." "(Electronic whirring)" "(Cheering)" "Heavy rain has not dampened the excitement here where Visitor High Commander Anna has thrown a ceremonial virtual switch to turn on the planet's first blue energy reactor, one of 538 around the world." "Well, one question comes to mind, Chad." "Are we completely nuts?" "Have scientists examined blue energy?" "For all we know, it could give off radiation that turns us into brain-dead zombies." "That's a little dramatic, don't you think, Kerry?" "It's what we don't know..." "That's the point of Concordia, giving the Visitors an opportunity to share their vast knowledge with mankind." "Well, Anna's opened the candy store, and the candy's free, huh?" "Well, I for one say be careful what you eat." "Pigs get fat." "Hogs get slaughtered." "(Thunderclap)" "Now that the blue energy reactors are functional, construction of Concordia sites around the globe can begin." "Once they are completed, the landing sites for our breeding ships will be ready." "And the annihilation of humanity can begin." "(Cheers and applause continue)" "(Camera shutter clicks)" "(Tyler) Mom?" "Hi." "I like your haircut." "(Laughs)" "I've missed you." "Yeah, well, you know, I've been kind of busy with, uh, pilot training and everything." "I brought something for you." "(Car door opens)" "Um..." "It was your dad's." "And he really loved it, and I know that he would want you to have it." "Do you wanna see if it fits?" "(Thunderclap)" "It looks perfect." "Mom, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to blame you for everything that happened to Dad." "(Voice breaking) I'm so sorry." "(Sniffles) Do you wanna come for dinner?" "(Sniffles) Yeah, I'd like that." "Thanks, Mom." "(Thunder crackles)" "Marcus..." "Thank you for coming." "Lisa told me you were alive." "I..." " Everyone thought you were..." " Dead." "I don't understand." "Why did Anna do this?" "Human emotion." "Lisa has told me everything." "I know that Anna has been inflicted." "She released red sky prematurely, in a moment of rage." "An isolated incident." "Anna has exhibited no further signs." "Are you sure?" "Fifteen years ago, when I decided to abandon our mission," "Anna disagreed." "Her first emotion, pride, caused her to betray me." "Under her leadership, our enemies have grown stronger." "You almost lost your life to the Fifth Column." "Didn't you?" "What is your purpose for seeing me?" "Your loyalty..." "To our species." "Which is exactly why I must report to my Queen that we have spoken." "I am your Queen, Marcus." "The human soul can never be removed." "It is a fool's errand, and my daughter's pride has made her the fool." "She will doom our species if she continues along this path." "What's the emergency, Sid?" "Concordia." "Come here." "Check this out." "This is a model of the site." "Each one's gonna have a blue energy reactor" " right smack in the middle." " (Erica) Get to the point." "The reactor's too big..." "Way too big." "Look, we know that whatever the Visitors' plan to use Concordia for, it ain't good." "Doesn't take a genius to figure that out, kid." "No, but it does to figure out this." "The holo device from Malik's safe." "Yeah, turns out it's powered by a tiny blue energy cell." "That's makes sense." "Everything the V's have is powered by blue energy." "(Sid) Getting to my point." "The amount of power needed to run this device is somewhere in the range of half a watt." "Based on my projections, the amount of power the Concordia reactors would create is nearly a trillion times more." "If I'm right, these reactors could easily power an entire city." "What would the Visitors need that much power for?" "There's only one thing that big I can think of." "Their ships." "Exactly." "The shape of the complex is roughly the same as the mother ships." "If I'm right..." "They're building landing sites." "Yeah, but for what?" "For their invasion." "There are 538 Concordia sites being built around the world." " But there are only 29 mother ships." " Yeah, do the math." "More on the way." " If those ships land..." " They won't." "Well, what are we gonna do, blow up all 500 sites?" " Not bloody likely." " No." "We don't have to destroy them." "We just have to stop them from being built." "How?" "Construction's already underway around the world." "Do you remember Three Mile Island?" "A nuclear power plant..." "It almost melted down." "It scared the hell out of everybody, but there was not a single new plant approved for almost thirty years after it." "Okay, so what does this have to do with Concordia?" "Blue energy." "We sabotage the reactor at the New York Concordia site." "We make it seem..." "unstable, dangerous." "People will get scared, there'd be a public outcry," " and the program would grind to a halt." " Yeah." "A touch on the subtle side for me, but I like it." "What do you think, Sid?" "Maybe if I get my hands on more blue energy to study." " I don't know." " We'll get it for you." "I'm sure Lisa can help." "Jack, contact Fierro." "See if he can get us into the Concordia site." "We need to get into that reactor and destroy it before Anna drops 500 ships on our heads." "Welcome back, Marcus." "My congratulations on your successful launch of Concordia." "Despite the most recent Fifth Column attacks, we've overcome most of our obstacles..." "Except one..." "Controlling human emotion." "Tyler has reached back out to his mother." "The injection of the pooled human D.N.A." "has triggered an unforeseen emotional response in him." "All of your plans rest on eliminating human emotion." "Unless we do so, a new generation of Visitors will be born with them." "I do not believe I will solve the problem by the time we're ready to begin interbreeding, my Queen." "Then we must find another way to control humans." "Amy is a hybrid of human and Visitor D.N.A." "The Visitor in her accepts my bliss." "But the human side does not reject it." "Begin tests on the child to determine why this is true." "The tests are intrusive." "They could harm her." "We are running out of time." "We must find a way at any cost." "Begin testing immediately." "(Hobbes) You sure Lisa's gonna show?" "She'll be here." "So..." "We gonna talk about last night?" "From what I remember, it was a hell of a lot more fun than talking." "It was." "Look, everything that's..." "that's happened..." "Losing Tyler..." "Joe..." "I needed a break." "Is that was this was..." "A break?" "I can't lose focus on the bigger picture..." "This war." "(Door closes)" "(Lisa) Blue energy." "I was able to sneak it off the ship." "Anyone see you?" "No, but I need to return it." "If someone discovers it's missing and it gets traced back to me..." "We'll get it back to you as quickly as we can." "Thank you." "Why did you need it?" "We're gonna sabotage the blue energy reactor at the Concordia site." "We think that your mother is going to use it to stage her invasion..." "When, how, we don't know, but we know we need to stop her." "That's why you have to find out anything you can about it." "(Erica) Okay?" "I will." "(Engine starts)" "(Joshua) I've analyzed Amy's brain waveforms." "When you bliss the hybrid, her V brain accepts the bliss at a frequency that isn't rejected by her human side." "How is this possible?" "I checked our surveillance records." "Ryan Nichols stole phosphorus from Anna's private supply." "If he gave it to the hybrid's mother while she was pregnant, the child's abilities could have been heightened." "If this is true, what else is she capable of?" "I won't know until I can run further tests." "So there's a form of bliss that will work on humans?" "Theoretically, yes." "But my findings are still rudimentary." "Blissing humans was tried by your mother and abandoned as impossible." "It nearly killed her." "My mother was weak." "You're gonna be just fine." "It's okay." "Don't worry." "I'm gonna soothe you." "There are too many unknowns." "The risks are too great." "(Joshua) Current circumstances demand bold action, Marcus." "Would you see our plans for Earth fail?" " I would see to Anna's safety first!" " Enough!" "Everything rests on being able to control the humans." "If I can control them through bliss," "I can stop any resistance." "(Electronic whirring)" "(Screaming)" "Ahh!" "(Continues screaming)" "(Gasps)" "(Continues screaming)" " Stop!" " Wait!" "(Joshua) Look." "(Both gasping)" "(Panting)" "(Continues panting)" "The subject appears to be blissed." "We must be sure." "If you take this, it will kill you." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Swallow it." "(Gasping)" "(Whispers) Joshua." "(Normal voice) Does this mean I can bliss a large number of humans?" "At this point, I can't be sure." "Blissing one human nearly killed you." "Are you sure this is wise?" "Nothing will stand in my path." "Find a way!" "(Electronic whirring)" "Whoa!" "(Erica) You got it working." "Turns out blue energy is a particle/anti-particle construct." "Once I understood the coupling constant..." "Sidney, my patience is growing dangerously low." "Right." "Uh, you want it in terms a merc can understand." "You ever stuck a fork into an electrical socket when you were a kid?" "Same idea..." "Meltdown." " And it won't look like sabotage?" " Just blue energy gone wild." " Uh, Sid, you did it." " Yeah." "Good work." "Look, uh, we're all set." "There's a guard at the security gate and another on the inside..." "Both Fifth Column, and they're waiting for your instructions." "Tell them we're good to go..." "Tonight." "(Gasps)" "You must be careful how often you visit." "You never know who is watching." "I need to talk to you." "I need to know what my mother's plans are." "Not yet." "In due time." "No!" "Now." "The more I get to know you, the more I see you're just like my mother." "All you do is keep secrets." "Tell me," "Concordia..." "They're landing sites for an invasion, aren't they?" "Very good." "You know more than you let on." " My friends figured it out." " Friends?" " Humans." " How?" "All I know is they asked for a sample of blue energy," " and I gave it to them." " What are they planning?" "To sabotage the reactor at the Concordia site, make it look unsafe" " so the humans turn against Concordia." " You must stop them." "Why?" "Blue energy has two forms." "In its stable form, it powers reactors." "But it can also be weaponized." "You must stop them before it's too late." "(Thunder rumbling)" "(Coughs)" "Look, Sid, just focus on the job..." "Just the job." "Keep running it over in your head, all right?" "Okay." "(Sniffles)" "Sid, this is our Fifth Column contact at the gate." "Remember his face." "He's going to make sure that you get through security undetected." "The V's issued these I.D.s to all the workers." "And this one will get you inside the gate, okay?" "Trick isn't getting inside, though." "It's making sure no one sees you enter the reactor building." "(Jack) A second contact will meet you, get you in, and then stand guard." "But once you're in, you're on your own, cowboy." "I wouldn't let you do this" " if I didn't think that you could, okay?" " Okay." "This has to look like an accident." "Fifth Column cannot be behind it." "Go." "(Truck beeping, thunderclap)" "(Phone rings)" "(Ring)" "(Beep)" "Lisa, what's going on?" "When Diana helped you escape, you said you'd return the favor." "Okay." "What is it?" "I stole blue energy from the ship." "Erica and her team are using it to sabotage the reactor, and I can't reach her." "You have to stop them." "Why?" "Because if they weaponize it, it could destroy everything within 100 square miles." "(Thunder rumbles)" "(Man) All right, go ahead." "(Thunder rumbling)" "(Hobbes) Bloody hell." "We've got a problem." "That's Ryan." "What the hell's he doing here?" "I'm not waiting around to find out." "(Truck beeping, men speaking indistinctly)" "(Whispering) Shh, shh, shh." "It's okay." "Follow me." "(Man) Come on." "(Beeps)" "(Door unlocks) Get in." "(Radio chatter)" "(Radio chatter)" "(Grunting)" "(Radio chatter)" "(Electronic crackling)" "(Electronic whirring)" "(Ryan) Stop!" "Ryan?" "You have to stop what you're doing, Sid, right now." "Okay?" "I don't think so." "Don't do it, Sid." "Just put that down, okay?" "You're about to cause a huge explosion." "That explosion's gonna kill us all." "How do you expect me to trust you?" "You know there's two forms of blue energy?" "There's inert and weaponized." "Are you sure..." "I mean, absolutely 100% sure that you didn't weaponize that?" "(Rapid beeping)" "(Loud electronic whirring)" "You have no idea what you just did." "(Loud electronic whooshing)" "Back off, Ryan!" " Did you do it, Sid?" " (Sid) Yeah." "She's gonna blow." "Then we need to get out of here." "Not until we take care of some unfinished business." "No, wait a minute." "Listen to me, okay?" "I came here to save you." "You have three seconds to make us believe you." " We need to deactivate this reactor." " We can't trust him!" "If you don't, there's gonna be an enormous explosion, killing tens of thousands of people." "All right, you don't trust me." "How about Lisa?" "How do you think I found you?" "She sent me here to warn you!" "(Loud electronic whooshing and whirring)" " Sid!" "Can you stop it?" " I don't know how." "I don't know." " I think I can shut this down." " We can't trust him, Erica." "Come on!" "What if Lisa did send him?" "Tens of thousands dead?" "!" "Can you live with that if you're wrong, Erica?" "!" "Shut it down!" "We gotta let the energy vent!" "We have to somehow dump it, shunt it, something like that!" "I don't know!" "(Loud electronic whirring continues)" "(Beeps)" "(Beep)" "(Rapid beeping)" "Come on, Ryan!" "(Beeps)" "I got it!" " It's a bypass control!" " All right, then do it!" "(Beeps)" "(Loud whirring intensifies)" "(Lightning crackling)" "(Loud whirring and humming)" "(Marcus) The electrical grid has failed throughout the city." " (Anna) How?" " Our scientists have traced the failure to a blue energy surge originating" " from the New York Concordia site." " The humans believe it was a failure of their own energy grid, but the surge was not an accident." "The only way that something like this could have happened is if blue energy was used to sabotage the reactors." "Fifth Column." "The blue energy would have come from one of our ships." "Check the inventory immediately." "Marcus, use the blue energy reactor at the New York Concordia site to restore power to the human electrical grid." "We must use this... inconvenience as a demonstration of our benevolence." "Hours after New York city was plunged into darkness, utility companies are blaming the blackout on the failure of several high voltage transmission lines in upstate New York." "Luckily, Anna and the Visitors wasted no time, using their blue energy reactor at the Concordia site to turn power back on across the affected areas within minutes." "After witnessing how quickly blue energy restored power, world leaders are urging contractors to speed up construction on Concordia sites around the globe." "Erica... (Chair clattering)" "That is exactly why we should have blown the site." "The risks were too great." "No, that is exactly it." "We are not taking enough risks." "We handed her another victory." "We handed it to her." "If we had blown the site, if we had taken out Concordia, we would have put a dent in her plans for once!" "No, I think you're forgetting the fact that we all would have died also." "There is a difference between a calculated risk and senseless slaughter." "Erica, wait." "Look, maybe Jack's right." "Eli chose you to lead us 'cause you cared about the people, about the innocents, not this." "Back there, you were pushing me to let it blow." "Yeah, I was, but you're not me." "You said..." "that you were a soldier..." "And you would follow my orders." "Yeah, I did." "I'll let you know what our next move is." "(Kerry) Hours after New York City was plunged into darkness... (Electronic whoosh)" "I'm concerned that your colleague Kerry's growing influence will threaten the spirit of unity between humans and Visitors." "Kerry is nothing more than a small dog barking at our heel." "She's hardly a threat." "A small dog with a loud bark." "Are you saying you'd like me to muzzle her?" "Concordia is my greatest gift to humanity." "It would be a terrible tragedy for everyone if she were to get in the way." "I'm sure you agree." "Of course." "(Electronic whoosh, beeping)" "(Explosion, whooshing)" "(Gasps)" "(Footsteps approach)" "(Electronic whoosh, beeping)" "(Whoosh)" "It's time for you to decide which side you're really on." "I gave Erica the blue energy grenade." "You have to warn the other Fifth Column on the ground." "(Whoosh)" "(Panting)" "Lisa, come quickly." "Thomas is coming." "(Door whooshes)" "Why did you do that, Joshua?" "Why didn't you let him catch me?" " Because I remembered." " Remembered what?" "Who I am." "(Lowered voice) That I'm Fifth Column..." "Like you." " (Woman) One minute!" " I'm telling you, Chad, in my gut, this blackout stinks of Anna." "I think you might be right." "What are you talking about?" "(Lowered voice) I just got a call from a source of mine at the Department of Energy." "It turns out the blackout was caused by the blue energy reactor at the Concordia site." "It melted down." "It blew out..." "Something technical." "They lost control of it." "(Woman) Thirty seconds!" "Why aren't you reporting this?" "Anna." "She's the only reason I have a career right now." "Can't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs." "You, on the other hand, have a chance to make a name for yourself." "I don't know." "This a career maker, Kerry." "Someone else is gonna break this story." "Why shouldn't it be you?" "(Woman) And we're live in five... four..." "I have just received exclusive word that tonight's blackout was not caused by an electrical grid problem as reported earlier." "In fact, it was caused by the near-catastrophic failure of the blue energy reactor at New York's Concordia site." "Tyler, I was told you wanted to see me." "Yes." "Everything up here has been great, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything that you've done for me." "What is it, Tyler?" "Ever since my dad died," "I've been acting... wrong, lashing out at the people I love." "I talked with my mom, and I decided" "I just wanna spend more time with her." "Of course." "It's been a painful time for you." "Before you leave, I'd like to give you something to help you with your pain... a gift usually reserved for Visitors." "Okay." "Come." "Sit." "(Tyler) What is it?" "Peace." "(Panting)" "(Exhales deeply)" "(Exhales deeply)" "(Diana) What's the matter, Lisa?" "I saw my mother bliss Tyler." "If Anna can bliss humans, they will stand no chance against her." "Your human friends..." "You said that you can trust them." "Are you sure?" " Yes." " Good, because we are going to need their help, too." "You must act now." "What are we going to do?" "We must end your mother's reign, once and for all." "(Knock on door)" "Ty, just come in!" "(Utensils clatter)" "Lisa?" "What?" "(Door closes)" "Tyler's not coming." "He's with my mother." "There's this connection a V Queen makes with her subjects." "It's called bliss." "Yeah, Ryan told me." "It's like mind control." "What does that have to do with Tyler?" "We didn't think it could work on humans." "My mother blissed Tyler." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Evans." " Is he okay?" " He'll be all right." " There are no lasting effects, but..." " If Anna can bliss humans..." "That's it." "We've lost." "No." "There's still a way we can win..." "If you're willing to take a risk." "You asked to see me, my Queen?" "My Queen egg is growing rapidly." "The acceleration protocols worked even faster than I anticipated." "It should reach maturity within days." "And Lisa?" "Have you had any opportunity to further test her loyalty?" "I've seen no signs to indicate that she's of any risk to you." "(Anna) Good, but if Lisa fails me, thanks to you," "this Queen egg will save us." "You set me up." "I called the Department of Energy." "The source you named doesn't exist." "I went on air with a false story." "You made it all up, and you let me tell the world." "You can't prove that." "They're firing me." "Did Anna put you up to this?" " Is this to protect your precious V's?" " No." "I did it to protect me." "You're good at what you do, Kerry." "Maybe a little too good." ""Prime Focus" as a one-man show just..." "It just suits me better." "When I first got this job, everyone told me to watch my back, that all Chad Decker cared about was himself." "I should've listened." "'Cause you really are the shallow, self-absorbed snake that everyone says you are." "This better be good, egghead." "Trust me." "You're gonna wanna see this." " Infrared binoculars?" " Recalibrated to recognize blue energy's spectral signature." "Take a gander at the mother ship." " See the big blue splotch?" " Yeah." "That's the blue energy signature of the ship." "Now look over there." " That can't be right." " Let me see." "What the hell are they?" "Mother ships..." "Invisible to telescopes," " radar, any human technology." " How many?" "How many Concordia sites are there around the world?" "538." "Their invasion ships aren't on the way." "They're already here." " Are you okay, Mommy?" " I'm fine." "What are you doing?" "I'm making you feel better just like you make me feel better." "That's something very special that only I can do." "Why would you think to do that?" "Because I love you." "No." "I brought him... and her." "Why is that traitor here, Erica?" "I said if we're going to defeat Anna," " we need to take risks." " Yeah, not stupid risks." "He saved our lives." "I don't like him." "I don't forgive him, but we need him." "Yeah?" "For what?" "Every attempt we have made to take down Anna has failed." "We are surrounded by an invasion fleet." "We are out of options." "We don't stand a chance in hell of stopping Anna without help." "This is help." "Lisa..." "(Electronic whoosh)" "(Static)" "This is my grandmother Diana." "I was Queen before Anna overthrew me." "Diana's going to make sure that history repeats itself." "We're going to overthrow Anna."
