"Previously on V..." "We will not betray you." "We are of peace." "Always." "I'm pleased the baby survived." "The mother however, did not." "You killed her, didn't you?" "Ryan Nichols has returned to earth." "What makes you sure you can control him this time?" "We have his child." "At some point, Ryan's gonna have to make a choice, his daughter or us." "Joshua, do you remember anything?" "I remember nothing." "Hello, mother." "15 years." "15 years and not a single glimpse of you, not since you put me down here." "I had no choice." "Your human skin was infecting you with emotion, weakening you." "So you had to seize power from me before your time, tell everyone I was dead, bury me down here like a dirty little secret." "I did what I felt I had to do to protect our species." "I never imagined that it would take so long." "Take so long for what?" "For you to admit that you felt human emotion." "Don't be ridiculous." "Then why are you here?" "Scientific curiosity." "Our top medical officers continue to work on isolating and eradicating human emotion." "To no avail." "You've lived in your human skin twice as long as I have." "You've been down here stewing in emotion all this time." "And you want to know what I've learned, don't you?" "When the humans set off the first atomic bomb, it shone across the universe like a brilliant flare." "Another potential home world for our species." "So I came here and moved secretly among these people, to see if interbreeding was possible." "But then I realized that it would never work here." "If you proceed with interbreeding." "You will have a generation of V's who listen to their emotions, follow their hearts, and refuse to bow to their queen." "I will have human emotion under control before interbreeding takes place." "My plan will still take hold." "Lisa's just entering her cycle of fertility." "So all rests on Lisa's shoulders?" "You're infertile." "She is the only one able to lay eggs, but she cannot do it here on earth." "I will make it work here." "The next viable planet is too far away, isn't it?" "It's earth or nothing." "Hey, Lisa." "Joshua's alive." "They managed to heal him before he died." "Oh, my God." "Anna has him." "Has she gotten any names out of him?" "Not yet." "He... he claims he doesn't remember anything about killing the soldier eggs." "He doesn't even remember being in Fifth Column." "I can't tell if it's an act to protect us or..." "You have to find out what he remembers... our names, our... our faces..." "and..." "I need you to find out from him if he remembers any experimentation done on pregnant women as long as 18, 20 years ago." "You were pregnant then." "Yeah." "What does that mean about you?" "Tyler?" "Hey, hon." "Hey." "I missed you, so I came to see you." "Hey." "Nice look, Ty." "Yeah, I cut myself shaving." "Well, you gotta stop using that bowie knife." " You wanna go?" " Sure." " Bye." "Have fun." " Bye." "I need you to analyze this blood sample." "Whoa." "Don't you people ever just say "hello"?" "I'm sorry, Sid." "I am very glad that you're on board." "You are an excellent resource." "Soldiers are studly." "Scientists are resources." "I need to find out what they did to me, my son." "You said that if you had blood samples, you could figure out if they messed with Tyler in utero." "You have mine." "Please take his." "Are you sure you wanna go down this path?" "If it were your kid, what would you do?" "Thank you." "There is no greater loss than a parent losing a child." "Let the grace of God fall on Valerie Stevens..." "Her beloved parents, and her unborn baby." "Mr. and Mrs. Stevens..." "You did this to her." "You did it." "She had a heart condition." "She should never have gotten pregnant." "She should never have had to go to the V's and their healing centers." "I thought with their technology that that would be best." "Look at you." "You're not even crying." "Don't you have a heart?" "Don't you have a soul?" "I'm sorry for your loss." "Go!" "Just go." "Ryan Nichols?" "Anna wanted you to have this..." "To see your daughter." "With Anna revealing red sky to be a gift to humans, by and large, the visitors are once again being embraced the world over." "Healing centers reopen this morning from Delhi to Nairobi." "And as this line of participants in Manhattan attest, people are once again eager to take advantage of all that Anna and the visitors have to offer." "You're watching WNT." "I'm Chad Decker." "We'll be right back." "A moment, Mr. Decker?" " I'd like you to meet Eileen Rounick." " Hello." "She will be the first mother to have her baby delivered entirely with v technology." "I thought you might like to interview her to underscore the good works we hope to continue here on earth." "Happy to." "It's nice to meet you, Eileen." "Oh." "It's pretty cool to see you in person." "I mean, I watch you all the time." "30 seconds, Chad." "So this is incredibly brave of you." "Brave?" "Yeah." "I've..." "I've interviewed a few moms-to-be about having their babies born in there, and... and no matter how good the technology is, they're still new to this, to... to human childbirth." "So if something goes wrong..." "Well, these moms just didn't wanna risk their babies being the first, you know?" " Really?" " Chad, we're just about ready." "Yeah." "Here you go." "All right." "I mean, you know some moms." "There's just no talking to them when their kid's safety's at stake." "Yeah." "Five, four, three..." "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned." "I remember you, my son." "You stopped coming to services." "Did you lose your faith?" "Yes." "With the V's here," "I didn't know what to think, like so many others." "And the red sky came..." "And I wanted answers." "And then I..." "Heard your sermons again, father, on the Internet." "And I found the answers I was seeking." "I'm pleased my words had an impact on you." "You said that it was a war for our souls, us versus the V's." "I want to be sure, father, that this is the right thing to do." "I believe in my heart that the answer is "yes."" "It's time to fight." "Then that gives me great peace." "Look!" "He's got a bomb!" "Sync by honeybunny" "At 3:00 Greenwich Mean Time, suicide bombers hit healing and peace ambassador centers on six continents." "An international terrorist network." "Hundreds of dead worldwide, 17 here, including the bomber, who's an unknown male." "We managed to pull this off a surveillance camera." "Resolution's for crap," " but at least it gives us an area code." " And the body?" "Well, head and limbs are pretty much blown off," " but we recovered half the torso." " Oh, lucky day." "They're attacking humans." "It doesn't really fit the Fifth Column M.O." " They're anti-V, not antihuman." " Well, the e-mail they sent claiming credit for the explosion features a nice little doctrine outlining their aims." "They think red sky was the first volley in a battle against humanity, and they're willing to do anything to throw a wrench in the visitors' plans." "Well, what plans?" "Oh, eat our brains, kidnap our young." "Who the hell knows what kind of fantasies these whack jobs dream up?" "One thing that's clear..." "All they really care about is blowing a hole in Anna's agenda." " 29 holes." " The end justifies the means." "Clearly, Fifth Column's not concerned with collateral damage." "Looks like the timer reset." "Pull out every stop." "Find out who lit this fuse." "Thank you, Agent Malik." "The queen will be pleased." "The Fifth Column's coordinated suicide bombings at peace ambassador centers across the globe have left authorities in 29 cities..." "Agent Malik delivered this from the crime scene." "Once we run the reconstruction, we should be able to lift a print and point her quickly towards the bomber's allies," " ahead of the FBI." " I want them caught and brought to me." "As they will be." "This tactical escalation is troubling." "Fifth Column is growing more aggressive." "29 bombings, Marcus..." "One in each of our cities." "We've never been attacked on this scale." "It's an international spectacle." "Fifth Column is proving to be a bigger threat than anticipated." "We have just the weapon to fight them..." "Ryan Nichols." "One V." "The same V I sent to kill John may so many years ago." "When it came to pursuing Fifth Column," " there was no one like Ryan." " Until he turned against us." " He turned once." "He can be turned again." " He resisted your bliss." "What makes you think you can control him?" "Because I have something more powerful than bliss." "Why are you putting skin on the baby?" "To prey on Ryan's loss." "Every time he looks at this child, he will think of Valerie." "I believe it's hungry." "She wants her mother." "She has me." "There's no greater bond than a nurturing mother and her child." "I can use this bond with her to help control him." "Beautiful, isn't she?" "She even has her mother's eyes." "What the hell are you doing?" "Why'd you put skin on her?" "I did it for you, Ryan." "Don't you wanna be with your baby someday?" "Maybe even have her with you on earth?" "Now with the skin, it's possible." "If I do what?" "All you have to do is help protect your own kind." "Then you get everything you want." "Don't you want to hold your daughter, Ryan?" "When the timer goes down to zero," " another one goes off." " In all 29 cities?" "No." "The timer was set for each city, but New York is the only one that reset." " We have to stop these people." " Stop them?" "We need to recruit them." "You condone this?" "There's no arguing it was effective." "They wreaked havoc on Anna's plans." "Now by killing a few humans, they could save millions." "That's pretty good bang for the buck." "We are talking about lives, Hobbes." "Not to mention, this brought down serious heat on fifth column all around the world, including us." "Us?" "We're what, we're..." "we're four people." "We need an army, and these guys have one." "He's right." "It's all over the news." "They're well-equipped, they're organized, they're on to the red sky, too, which means we gotta find out their sources, what they know." "Now we may not like their tactics, but they're a weapon." "So the question is..." "Do you want that weapon in Anna's hands or in ours?" "They're willing to kill humans to save humans." "That's crazy." "We can't win an all-out war against the V's, not until we're ready." "You know this." "I am not saying they didn't cross the line, okay?" "They did." "But if we could get to them, talk them into approaching this war our way..." "They have a global network." "Isn't that what we want?" "What we've been after?" "In the meantime, I'm not letting them kill any more people." "Fair enough." " What do you got on the bomber?" " Just this." "He's a librarian..." "Will Maybree." "I took his confession this morning." "He said..." "He said I inspired him." "I didn't understand." "I-I didn't..." "I didn't..." "No." "I never thought he would..." "was planning on killing..." "Of course not." "Of course you didn't." "We... we know that." "You can help here, Jack." "We need to get his address." "Somewhere in Hell's Kitchen." "It'd be in the parish records." "Okay." "Hobbes and I will head towards midtown." " Ryan, go with Jack." " Mm-hmm." "Get the address A.S.A.P. The FBI has that photo." "They're circulating it as we speak." "We have a window, but it is shrinking fast." "After this morning's attacks, we've increased our efforts at identifying Fifth Column." "I've put Joshua in the memory chamber to see if he remembers his fellow traitors." "Has there been any progress?" "You seem concerned, Lisa." "Of course I am, mother." "I want to make sure we find the traitors before they can do anything else." "Start with his last memories and work backward... his final act." "If anyone helped him destroy my eggs, their face should appear." "The last thing he remembers is his takedown at the hands of Erica Evans." "It seems the near-death experience wiped out all other recent memory, included his recollections of Fifth Column." "The last thing Joshua remembers is that he's a devoted V." "Is the memory loss permanent?" "No." "There's a lot of damage, but there are memory fragments." "Eventually, I'll be able to reconstruct them." "Uncover who he was working with." "I want those names." "I wanna know who else betrayed me." "You found will Maybree's address?" "Yeah." "I just sent it to Erica and Hobbes." "Look, I have to, uh, to get to the healing center." "There's a vigil at the site of the bombing." "You okay, Jack?" "I was gonna ask you the same thing." "You know that bombing wasn't your fault." "How could it have been your fault?" "The humans, they..." "they love guilt, don't they?" "They blame themselves, blame other people." "When things go wrong, they just wallow in emotion." "And you'd rather..." "Act, yeah." "Fight." "Just..." "Just do something." "Look, Ryan, I know that..." "Val's funeral was this morning, and I get that anger is easier than grief." "So you can get all pissed off at what we're dealing with and go after them." "We can do that, and we will." "But you can't carry all this into that fight." " Yeah?" "How come I can't?" " Because if you shut it out, you'll lose sight of what you're really fighting for." "There's gotta be a clue here somewhere to what the bomber was doing." "Not your average librarian." " Toggle initiator." " The backup." "And this?" "3 mil, static-resistant, high-impedance wire." " Signature of our Israeli friends." " Mossad." "Yeah, clearly, your librarian didn't make this bomb." "We find our Israeli, we find our Fifth Column radicals." "Something was tacked up here." "Look at the holes." "Like this." "Huh." "Okay." "Targets." "The healing center and..." " The apex building?" " Every other bomb went off at a healing or peace ambassador center." "What is so special about this building?" "Yeah." " What are you doing?" " I'm calling it in." " Thousands of people work there." " We know the target." "All we have to do is position ourselves there, intercept these guys, and make contact." "If you make that call, a swarm of feebs will scare 'em off." " We'll lose our shot at this crew." " It is too risky." "We make one mistake, thousands of people die." " We will find another way to track them down." " Just like a woman, eh?" "Why save time when you can take the scenic route?" "I want allies as much as you do, but that is a building full of innocents." "Now get your hand off my wrist." "In times of danger, times of grief... of loss, we can turn only to our essential humanity." "For what are we if we let go of that, if we lose sight of the part of us that differentiates us?" "We must be comforted by the light of God inside each of our souls." "Let's bow our heads in silence." "I always knew humans could be manipulated by their emotions." "But it's also what gives them power, isn't it?" "Uhh!" "No more games, mother." "You'll tell me everything you know about human emotion and how to defeat it." "You really wanna play games, mother?" "'Cause there's plenty more immolation pills where that came from." "All right." "I'll tell you." "But first, there's something I want." "Keep moving, please." "Move." "We need you you exit the building." "We got bomb squads sweeping every floor, but it'll take at least 20 minutes to finish the evacuation and another hour to clear the building for explosives." "No, I don't have enough time for that." "We need to find the target within the target." " Do you have a list of tenants?" " Just got it." "...Taking drastic precautions." "These include heightened states of security, body scanning, and bomb-sniffing dogs." "But will these additional security measures be..." " WNT. 12th floor?" " Already been cleared." " They're working top down." " ..." "Worldwide scale." "He's Anna's mouthpiece." "He survived the first explosion." "He's the reason that the timer was reset." "Chad Decker is the target." "Sure." "Why don't you guys go set up inside?" "I'll be right there." "Okay." "Could you make it out to..." "Chad!" "Down!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Get her hand." "Don't move!" "As you requested, mother." "I first heard this music on earth." "No, I didn't hear it." "I felt it." "I carried it around in my head." "For 15 years, it was my only companion." "Tell me the key to human emotion." "You're listening to it, daughter." "Heartache, pain, sorrow." "I felt it all." "And still, where it strikes me..." "It's even deeper." "Don't just listen." "Hear." "Within it, such beauty." "And yet it is called" ""Sadness of Soul."" "Is that what I'm looking for?" "What makes humans human?" "The soul?" "You said at the vigil that we need to turn to our essential humanity, to the light in our souls." "Now I have human skin." "I feel." "But I need you to tell me something." "Do I have a soul?" "Every creature can feel the grace of God." "I don't." "You're not letting yourself." "My words have done so much damage today." "Let me do some good." "Let me help you more." "How can I find comfort if I don't have a soul?" "Ryan, you do have a soul." "How do you know that?" "Because you wouldn't feel this way if you didn't." "The soul is what lies beneath." "♪" "It is the core of all humans." "It is the wellspring of emotion." "I always dismissed it as fantasy." "It can't be looked at solely with a scientific mind." "It's too complex." "Nothing is too complex for our technology." "I will isolate it in the medical bay." "Not in a lab." "Not there." "It's here." "Where is it, then?" "The soul's not a thing, Ryan." "It can't be found." "It can't be put in a test tube or a body." "And it can never be destroyed." "The soul is the single greatest threat to our species." "If it's there, I'll find it, and I'll destroy it." "Why is the bomb reconstruction from this morning's attack taking so long?" "It's done, but it was useless." "It yielded no prints." "But I found something of value... a fabric thread stuck in the bomb fragment." " And you sourced it." " To a fabric produced at a particular factory in Singapore." "Nine U.S. importers bought this in the past year, but only one operates on the east coast." "Five Brothers Textiles." "Five brothers." "A code for Fifth Column." "Who is behind this company?" "Eli Cohn, Israeli descent, former Mossad agent." "He owns many small businesses, cleverly hidden within shell corporations all over the world." "Contact Agent Malik." "Make sure she finds Mr. Cohn before the FBI does and that she brings him directly to us." "Melanie Singer." "First, we get a librarian." "Now we got a secretary." "From Flushing." "Let's break her." "You know, we don't need three of us in there." "Why don't I peel out, look into Singer's background?" "Go." "After you, Evans." "Did you ever wish you could go back in time, take things back?" "Rewind, rethink things?" "I had to take action against the V's." "You don't understand what they're up to." "Edify us." "Stopping me is not gonna solve anything." "At dawn, that timer resets." "Not if you tell us what we need to know..." "Now." "If you think I'm gonna tell you anything, you're underestimating me." "Melanie, a lot of people are scared of the visitors." "But if you don't help us, your Fifth Column friends are in serious danger." "The FBI is on edge." "There are a lot of itchy trigger fingers." "Now, I am the point man on this for the moment." "And if you talk to us right now," "I can get to your friends first..." "Maybe avoid a bloodbath." "We need answers, Melanie." "Please help us." "I never met anyone." "It was all done through chat rooms and stuff." "When I was ready, they came to pick me up in a van, blindfolded me," "brought me somewhere to give me the explosives." "Do you remember anything about the trip?" "Um..." "The route?" "Uh, sounds?" "Anything?" "I heard a lot of trucks." "I think a barge whistle." "Wherever it was, it may have been by the water." "Get on it." "Yeah." "I'll take her from here." "About bloody time." "I called my hook." "I've got a list of possible ex-Mossad with last-knowns in Manhattan." "Two dozen names." "I was waiting for your FBI brain to help me narrow it down." "Anything by the water?" "Right, there's one of them." "Eli Cohn, owns a textile company right on the Hudson." "I'll meet you there." "We're a step ahead." "Uhh!" "Shh." "Okay." "Whose blood is that?" "Your partner's." " Malik?" " Yeah." "Did she see me?" "I don't know." "Okay." "We gotta split." "Yeah." "Ryan continues to resist me." "You underestimated his resolve." "No." "He underestimated mine." "Make it sick." "Give it a chronic pain that only my bliss can alleviate." "No parent can stand by and watch while their child suffers." "If he wants to be human," "I'll make sure he suffers like a human." "Ryan..." "Feel my warmth, Ryan." "Ryan, what's wrong?" "Feel my comfort." "No." "No." "It's okay." "Your baby is in terrible pain." "I can ease her suffering, as I can ease yours." " Let me in, Ryan." " I can't." " Let me fill your emptiness." " I can't do this." " No, I can't do this!" " It's okay, Ryan." "The more I feel, the more Anna can hurt me." "Just pray with me." "The soul... it is a blessing." "No." "No, it's also a curse." "I can't..." "No." "Kendrick." "Evans." "Glad you're here." "Follow me." "You're not gonna believe this." "Hey, sorry." "I was across town." "Right through here." "Quite the fashion statement." "Blank passports." "High-quality work." "China, New Zealand, Russia." "29 cities and now this." "So how widespread is this thing?" "They've got the models, the components, the paper operation." "They're shipping people internationally." "This was ground zero." "Yeah?" "What was missing?" "What?" "At Maybree's place?" "What was missing?" "Uh, I don't know." "This is not a good time." "A car." "I found that registration renewal, but the garage was empty." "He drove to the healing center." "He left his car on a side street." "I checked out the last destinations on his nav system." "All pretty normal-looking stuff." "Except... it saved the route to a place in Ossining." "Text it to me." "I'll meet you there." "You got it." "That was Tyler." "He's really freaked out with the bombing." "I need to go home." "C.S.U.'s processing the scene." "I'll call you if anything comes up." "Okay." "I found this shipping label in the back, to a farm in Ossining, of all places." "Could be something." "Okay." "I'll check it out." "Malik, go with her." "I want both of you to check it out." "Great." "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned." "I failed to comfort a friend in need." "And I used my words, the words of God, to inspire violence." "The blood of innocents is on my hands." "I need to know..." "Where do I go from here?" "Show me a sign." "I thought I was a member of the Fifth Column now, not a target." "I was almost killed today." "Sources say the first bomber worshipped here." "I'm a priest, Chad." "I gave a sermon." "I never intended for anyone to take it that far." "Yeah, well, we don't always know the impact we're gonna have, do we?" "I think that FBI agent, Erica Evans, is in danger." "I'm not sure who you're talking about." "I saw her here, with you." "She's in danger." "Evans' partner." "Last time I checked, turning over stolen evidence to the V's is outside agency regs." "Warn her..." "Or there'll be more blood on your hands." "So that was Tyler who called before, huh?" "Yeah." "With everything that's been going on, he's been really concerned about my safety." "Hmm." "It is a dangerous job." "What were you doing across town?" " Sorry?" " You told Kendrick you were across town before the warehouse." "Oh." "Right." "I was..." "Checking Melanie Singer's apartment for clues." "Well, good." "What did you find?" "Nothing worth reporting." "You know, a cop said that he saw someone looking a lot like you driving away from the warehouse just before he arrived." "Must have been mistaken." "Hmm." "Pull over." "Now!" " Pull over, Evans." " Calm down." "You're out of options here." "Let me see her." "As a hybrid, she contracted an unforeseen disease that even our doctors have no answers for." "She's sick, Ryan." "She's in terrible pain." "I can see you're suffering, too." "I know you think you've changed." "But let me tell you, you have no soul, Ryan." "You will never have a soul." "But you can have something better." "You can receive my bliss, as can your daughter." "I can ease her suffering." "I can ease your suffering." "What do you want me to do?" "All you have to do is join us again." "You were one of us." "Let me help you, Ryan." "Let me help your daughter." "Just don't let her suffer." "I'll do what you want me to do." "Get it out of here." "Joshua," "I've reviewed your research into human emotion at length." "After you turned Fifth Column, it appears you sabotaged your results." "I will begin anew immediately, my queen." "What if I told you there was a source for human emotion...a repository?" "The soul." "Then I will devote myself to rooting it out, so you can destroy it." "♪" "My chief medical officer knows what to look for now." "I will succeed where you failed." "I wouldn't be so sure, daughter." "After all, you're running out of time." "Soon enough, you'll lose control." "And I promise you this..." "One day, you'll feel the sting of your daughter's betrayal, as I have felt yours." "Tick-tock, tick-tock." "Sync by honeybunny"
