"Previously on V..." "Fifth Column has claimed responsibility for the peace ambassadors murders earlier this morning." "Cohn is out of control." "That could have been Tyler." "I want you to get close to Eli Cohn." "You will help me destroy them." "We're all on the same side." "Unlike you, we don't kill innocent people." "Church officials have issued a statement condemning all anti-V rhetoric from clergy worldwide." "I'm not gonna stop speaking out." "It's priests like him that are inciting the Fifth Column." "Stop!" "This is the house of God!" "That's Tyler's phone." "I feel like I'm losing him." "I need help." "I did what I had to do to protect our species." "Welcome to the future, Chad... our future, man and visitor." "This... is Concordia." "Concordia." "Interesting name." "From your Roman mythology, meaning a peaceful and harmonious coexistence." "Man and visitor working side by side to build thousands of these centers, creating jobs and supporting prosperity across the world." "Concordia will employ massive numbers of men and women." "Humans will be constructing the buildings, staffing the centers of learning and technology." "We've made agreements with nations around the world to build Concordia on land that is currently abandoned or in disrepair." "So Concordia is like a..." "A worldwide urban renewal project." "Exactly." "I'll be hosting a gala tonight here in New York to formally announce Concordia, and tomorrow, a renaissance begins across the entire planet." "We will celebrate our future, shared by mankind and Visitors..." "Together." "Stop!" "This is the house of God!" "This is Joe." "Leave a message." "Joe, it's me." "I need to see you." "It's about our son." "Hey, you." "Happy Birthday." "Thanks, mom." "Okay." "Well, it always tastes better than it looks." "Breakfast birthday cake..." "Evans family tradition." "Yeah, well, when we were a family." "Oh, I'm..." "I'm sorry, mom." "I-I just..." "I don't know." "I thought that maybe dad would call by now, that's all." "Hey, it's okay." "He will." "It's early, right?" "Have a piece of cake." "Um, actually, I have to meet Lisa at the peace ambassador center." "Tyler, they're killing peace ambassadors... kids your age." "Mom, I'm not a kid anymore." "You're right." "You're a man now." "Listen, I need you to remember that there are consequences for the choices we make." "You may be 18, but I am still your mother." "I will always be here for you." "Thanks, mom." "Thomas, as my chief engineer," "I'm relying on you to make sure" " that Concordia stays on schedule." " It is, my queen." "Landing sites have been selected for every ship in the fleet in preparation for our invasion." "Perfect." "With the release of red rain, the human women are almost ready for breeding." "As soon as Joshua is able to eradicate the human soul, we can proceed." "I fear tonight's gala is a tempting target for the Fifth Column." "A disturbance could hinder public acceptance of Concordia and delay our plans." "The Fifth Column and Eli Cohn will not be a problem." "Ryan Nichols will make sure of that." "You wanted to see me." "Yeah." "Thanks for coming." "I don't understand." "I thought you were with, uh, agent Evans." "I am, but she doesn't know I'm here." "I want this to be kept private, Eli, just between us." "So what do you want from me?" "I have a daughter." "Anna's holding her hostage up on that ship." "And the only way I can get her back is to take Anna down." "Our group is too small to do it alone." "You have a bigger network." "We need to work together so we can strike hard." "Well, Erica made it very clear that her cooperation last time was a one-shot deal," "that our ideological viewpoints of this fight are diametrically opposed." "Use me." "I can bridge both sides." "She trusts you?" "Absolutely." "Good." "As the head of the FBI Fifth Column task force, she could be quite helpful." "You call her." "Get your team together." "Tonight..." "We're taking Anna down for good." "We get the wiretap on father Landry yet?" "Not yet." "Judge has the paper." "Evans, Bolling, clear your schedules." "You're running security for Anna's big shindig tonight." "Guest list." "Paul, it's gonna take weeks to run this many names." "Hey, uh, isn't that your ex?" "Yeah." "A problem with Tyler." "I had to bring in the heavy artillery." "Heard about you two." "Sorry it didn't work out." "Federal officer married to a civilian..." "It's always tough." "Runs a little deeper than that." "I'll only be a minute." " Hi." " Hey." "What's going on with Tyler?" "It will be easier to explain after I show you this." "They've been here for decades, Joe." "Anna's waging a war against mankind, and for some reason, she's targeting our son." "I know it's a lot to grasp." "Yeah." "Yeah, it's a hell of a lot." "This, um, missing ladder within Ty's D.N.A...." "Why would they do that?" "We think that they wanna put something else in there..." "Something not from you or me." "This is crazy." "The high levels of phosphorus in my blood, the preeclampsia..." "The visitors did that." "They have been messing with Tyler since before he was born." "And what does..." "What does Tyler know about all this?" "Nothing, and we can't tell him." "If Anna ever thought that he knew, his life would be in danger." "And then you let..." "you let him date one of them?" "We can trust Lisa." "Who else knows about the visitors," " about what they really are?" " There's a small group of us." "We have to be careful who we tell." "I need your help." "What do you think I can do and why do you think I can help?" "The one thing that Tyler wants more than anything else is his family back together." "And that is the one thing that Anna can't give him." "I need you with me, Joe." "Lisa, what are you doing?" "It's for Tyler." "Today is his 18th birthday." "It would raise suspicion if his girlfriend didn't give him a present." "Now that Tyler is 18, he will no longer be bound to do as his parents command." "He'll be able to make his own choices, and we must make sure he chooses us." "How can we be sure he'll do that?" "Because I can give him something humanity cannot..." "A future." "Interesting piece this morning, Chad." "You really think this Concordia project is all world peace, jobs for everyone, chicken in every pot?" "Anna hasn't promised anything she didn't deliver so far." "Well, all the same, a lot of people are asking hard questions about her, but not you." "I'm not sure you're the guy to do it." "What's that supposed to mean, Neil?" "A few months ago, everybody and their mother was drinking the V kool-aid." "Now people aren't so sure." "Ratings are slipping." "I wanna change the format of "Prime Focus"... add a, uh, critical voice to face off against you." "A kind of point/counterpoint?" "Exactly." "We're bringing in talent from Boston, Philly, and D.C. this afternoon." "I'd like you to screen-test if somebody looks promising." "Whatever you need." "I'm surprised you're good with this." "Didn't figure you'd be so willing to share a spotlight." "Bring 'em on." "Going one-on-one with the other side is only gonna make me look better." "Hey." "Hey." "Happy Birthday." "Oh." "Thanks." "I wanted to get you something that will always remind you of us." "I love it..." "And you." "Tyler..." "Um..." "Yesterday at the church..." "Tyler." "Hey." "Lisa, you remember Tyler's dad?" "Hi, kiddo." "Happy Birthday." "Look, I know things didn't go..." "Too well last time." "I've been..." "I've been talking to your mom, and I've been thinking about it so much since I saw you last." "You might not believe it, but when I turned 18," "I-I just..." "I was so much like you." "I..." "My old man..." "He wasn't there for me either." "Sound familiar?" "Go ahead." "Open it." "Just, uh, open it up." "After graduation, I set out on that route on that '82 Harley shovelhead." "Couple months on the road by myself, and it was the best time of my life because I found out who I really was." "The bike's yours." "I restored it for you myself." "But that's not a real gift." "This is." "You have a couple of months between high school and college, and I thought..." "We both want for you to take some time to yourself, think about your future." "I will worry..." "Every second that you're gone, but... make the trip." "And we'll be here for you when you get back." "Yeah." "I want another chance, Ty." "Tyler is too important." "With our plans accelerated, we need him here now." "We must make sure he's ready." "Can we stop him?" "He appears to be giving his parents' gift serious consideration." "But he has yet to see my gift." "I've only got a minute." "Kendrick has me working security for Anna's gala, celebrate her latest "gift."" "What if I told you that we can ensure that Anna never gave another "gift" to earth?" "I went to see Eli Cohn." "Without telling us." "Yeah, last time I checked, we're all Fifth Column." "Let's hear him out." "Eli wants our help..." "To assassinate Anna." "How?" "A bomb." "He wouldn't tell me more until he knows that we're in." "We're not." "He's insane!" "The collateral damage alone..." "Which is exactly why he needs us." "With you handling security, we can minimize the collateral..." "Minimize?" "Ryan, we're talking about 300 innocent people." "No, no, Eli's right." "Now's the time to strike." "We know exactly where Anna's gonna be, and you're handling security." "We may never get another opportunity like this again." "Erica..." "Lisa would be queen." "I'd get my daughter back, and Tyler..." "Tyler would be safe." "Eli's giving us a chance, and I'm taking it..." "With or without you." "Then you mean without me, too." "I'm with the lizard." "As much as I would love to take Anna out," "I can't agree to this." "Erica, we can end this war in one swift blow." "This is our shot." "Yeah, and how many innocents go with her?" "Don't do this, Ryan." "Don't put me in a position tonight where I have to make a choice." "Because if I have to..." "I will take you down." "What just happened in there?" "We can't fall apart, not now." "I am not the one who changed the game plan." "Every day, Anna's grip on Tyler grows stronger and stronger." "You said it yourself, Jack..." "no innocent lives." "Look, I know it wasn't easy." "We made the right choice." "Erica, I..." "Joe." "Yeah." "Where are you?" "I'll be right there." "What's going on?" "Tyler got a call from Anna." "Said she had a birthday gift for him." "Erica, what a surprise." "I thought you would be busy with preparations for tonight." "I am." "Uh, Joe called." "He said Tyler was so excited." "I wanted us to all come up here, see this gift as a family." "I'm Joe Evans." "I'm Tyler's father." "Erica tells me that you've taken quite an interest in our son." "Tyler's special..." "Which is why I wanted to present this very important birthday gift to him." "I'd like you to meet Thomas, my chief engineer." "Pleasure to meet you, Tyler." "Mr. and Mrs. Evans." "Wait." "So you, like, uh, designed the ship?" "I did." "Anna tells me that you are the perfect candidate to become part of Concordia." "How would you like to be the first human to pilot one of our shuttles?" "Happy Birthday, Tyler." "Thank... thank you." "Mother, how generous of you." "You will live here, and I will personally oversee your training." "For how long?" "He's got school." "We'll work around his school schedule." "Soon enough, you'll be at the controls of your own shuttle." "Thank you so much." "Would you like a tour of the cockpit?" "Yeah." "Well..." "Thank you, Anna, uh, for giving our son this incredible opportunity." "Thank you for allowing me to play a role in his life." "Now if you'll excuse me, I must prepare for tonight." "I don't know what it means, but my mother said with Concordia starting, whatever she needs Tyler for, she needs him now." "Every plan she has pulls him farther and farther away from us." "How are we gonna protect him now?" "Come on, Kerry." "You've gotta admit that Concordia, with cutting-edge technology, dynamic learning opportunities, and real jobs in a harsh economy is a home run for the visitors." "When newcomers arrive on your shores, you have to be careful..." "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts?" "Exactly." "The Trojan horse filled with soldiers, smallpox-infected blankets for the native Americans..." "These gifts didn't work out too well for the recipients, did they?" "But Anna has demonstrated the utility of her gifts." "We have clean air and revitalized deserts to prove it." "And I'm sure the native Americans were warm in their blankets before they started dying in them." "Cut." "That was great." "The public deserves to hear both sides." "It's good TV." "Kerry, job's yours if you want it." "Hey." "You've been gone a long time." "Everything okay with Ty?" "Yeah." "He hasn't seen his dad for a while." "I wanted to be there for him, but I am up to speed." "Let's get the briefing started." "Great." "Nice to see you again, Marcus." "All right, people." "With the recent increase in Fifth Column attacks, protocol tonight will be security level one." "If I may, assistant director Kendrick..." "Before we begin, Anna would like to say a few words." "I'd like to thank the entire FBI and most especially the Fifth Column task force for agreeing to provide security at this very important event." "We're happy to assist any way we can." "Thank you, agent Evans." "I know pulling together security on such short notice is no easy task." "Don't worry, Anna." "Everyone in this room has only one goal... your safety." "You changed your mind about the assassination." "Why?" "Anna's plans for Tyler have accelerated, and like Hobbes said, we have an opportunity we may not get again." "I'm glad to see you're coming around to my way of thinking." "But we do it our way." "Without risking any innocent lives... no bombs." "We use a sharpshooter." "Hobbes can make the shot." "Our team has to be perfectly coordinated, because all eyes will be on us." "And media from all around the world." "We will have metal detectors at the security checkpoints and an ion scanner that will detect microscopic residue of explosives from clothing." "And we'll have a hard-line perimeter that no one will get through." "The event was organized last-minute, creating vulnerabilities we can exploit if we work together." "I'm only gonna have one shot to take Anna down." "Tell me where to place it." "To the right of her sternum." "Opposite side of the human heart." "The perimeter..." "It's too far out." "Shot's gonna have to come from inside." "Okay, so how does he get in?" "Hobbes?" "Well, father, if you bring a noisy rabble to the west of... here, since you've joined me on the FBI bad boy list," "Erica's gonna have to send agents to deal with you." "They'll pull them from the security line, leaving a hole for Hobbes to get inside." "Once there, I'll give him access into the building." "I know that speaking out against the visitors will directly contradict your orders from the Vatican." "We're all putting everything on the line to stop Anna." "I'm just..." "You can count on me." "Shot's too important." "You're gonna need a spotter... me." "And my men are gonna be among your rabble, making sure that the cops have a nice, long time away from their posts." "Good." "Our team's working as one... for tonight." "Marcus, your security officers informed me that Anna's personal safety will be handled by visitor guards." "That is correct." "Anna will never be left unprotected." "Anna's guards will know me by sight." "Which is why you're not gonna be there." "Anyone spots you, we're toast." "Okay, what about Chad?" "He'll be covering the event." "Should we... should we tell him?" "The fewer people who know about this, the less chance we have of getting caught." "Disposable, untraceable." "All information flows through me." "We toss them when we're done." "You ready for this?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's a nice plan." "May just work." "Good." "Any questions?" "No, you and your team have been very thorough." "Knowing you're in charge, agent Evans," "I'm sure Anna will feel much safer." "Marcus tells me everything is ready for tonight's announcement." "And Concordia's structures will be completed by the time the effects of red sky have readied the humans for breeding." "Your design is commendable." "They'll never know its true purpose until it's too late." "The landing function is interwoven into the building's infrastructure." "Once the cloaked ships set down, the next phase of the invasion may begin." "Then our soldiers can collect their women and prepare them for what's to come." "The humans think they're building their future, when in fact, they're digging their own graves." "Do you remember the day that we brought him home from the..." "Wow." "You never dressed like that for work before." "Thanks for noticing." "Heard anything from Ty?" "Um... he called." "He's staying overnight with Lisa." "At least I know she won't let anything happen to him." "Look... just, um..." "Be careful." "Okay?" "I will." "Listen, you have a long drive back." "Did, uh... do you wanna crash on the couch?" "You sure?" "Yeah." "Your daughter likes to be held." "Look how happy she is." "I got word you wanted to see me." "What is it, Ryan?" "Torn by your decision?" "Don't be." "Choosing your daughter over the humans was the right thing to do." "But you have to keep up your end of the bargain." "What else do you want?" "You have infiltrated the Fifth Column." "I wanna know if there are any threats against us for tonight." "I purposely announced the gala last minute so there wouldn't be time to coordinate any violence." "There's nothing that I'm aware of." "I'm not deep enough to be privileged with that information." "Get in deeper." "Her disease is getting worse." "Poor thing." "Only my bliss and my bliss alone can alleviate her pain." "Then do it." "Don't let her suffer." "There, there." "All better..." "For now." "I bet the president couldn't set up such a big party so fast." "Welcome to Anna's world." "Whatever she wants to happen..." "Happens." "What are you doing here?" "Talked Neil to getting me on the list." "Thought if I'm going to be covering Anna, I shouldn't miss it." "Think you can get me an introduction?" "It's an honor to meet you, Anna." "Would you mind if I asked you one question off the record?" "Kerry." "Ask anything you wish." "You gave us the healing centers and then red rain, and you cleaned our oceans and you brought life back to our deserts, but what's the real purpose behind all this generosity?" "I don't understand your question." "Well, sometimes when people are given things they didn't ask for, there's a larger motive behind it." "In human culture, perhaps, but we've never given anything that wasn't needed." "Ask Chad." "We are of peace... always." "Thank you, Anna." "Great party." "The presentation will begin soon." "I hope you enjoy it." "All right, it's a go." "Keep it peaceful!" "But keep it strong, okay?" "Come on!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "We've got some protesters to the east gate." "Requesting backup." "I just got a..." "I know." "It's a protest." "South quadrant." "The good father Landry." "Peel off a couple of our guys, shut it down before it gets out of control." "I'm on my way." "Okay." "Let's go." "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "V's, go home!" "What do you got?" "We've got a situation." "We're gonna need everybody down here." "It's a celebration unlike any other tonight, as visitor high commander Anna prepares to present her latest gift to humanity..." "Concordia." "Anna is making her way to the podium now." "Only my bliss can alleviate her pain." "Ryan Nichols just reported in." "The Fifth Column is positioned to assassinate you." "We must proceed." "No." "I will take your place." "You are the target, not me." "What's happening?" "I don't like this." "Marcus said something to Anna." "I think someone tipped them off." "Anna wishes to thank you all for coming." "However, she elected not to speak tonight and asked that I take her place." "We need to abort." "Negative." "We have a shot at Marcus." "That is not the plan." "Tell her Erica if we can't cut the head off the beast, we can at least rob it of its right hand." "We're never gonna have this opportunity again." "We've gotta take the shot." "To exemplify Concordia's spirit of cooperation between visitors and humans," "I would like to introduce to you an extraordinary young man..." "It's war, Erica." "No retreat." "Think of what they have planned for your son... for humanity." "Fine." "Do it." "Now." "The first human to ever pilot a V shuttle..." "Tyler Evans." "Abort, abort!" "Hobbes can make the shot." "No, not if it means risking my son's life." "Your son's life is at risk if we don't take the shot." "We're taking it." "Tell her that I've got this." "Let me get him out of there." "When you have a clear shot, take it." "A clear shot." "Confirm." "Clear shot." "Confirmed." "Tyler!" "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Tyler's mother, special agent Erica Evans." "This is a special moment..." "Tyler, the first human shuttle pilot and Erica, head of the Fifth Column task force, a key figure in protecting our presence on this lovely planet." "Needless to say, the Evans family is a model of what Concordia stands for." "We've gotta get out of here now!" "Joshua said that Marcus is alive, but his condition is critical." "His injuries were deep and intricate and despite our healing technologies, he may not survive." "Concordia must move forward despite this setback." "I need someone I can trust at my side to take Marcus' place." "Thank you, Thomas." "Tyler has informed us that he will not be joining our program as we had hoped." "I know that he was vital to your plan." "Tyler's important to us." "He's the one Lisa has chosen." "But he's not our only option." "There are others." "I'm so glad you decided not to do the shuttle program, Ty." "We got a lot of catching up to do." "You know..." "When I saw the blood hit mom, all I could think was..." "I don't wanna lose you guys." "Okay." "Prepare to be amazed." "Lug." "Thanks, mom." "Happy Birthday, Tyler." "Make a wish." "You're lucky you even have a job right now." "You know that?" "You and Evans both." "What the hell happened tonight?" "I don't know." "But I can think of a few colorful things to call it." "I have a theory." "Let's hear it." "I gave Erica a lot of rope today, and she took it." "Yeah, I've seen it." "Yeah, but you haven't seen this one." "It was taken this morning when she was supposed to be with her kid." "Surveillance unit had it for me when I got back here tonight." "What's your point?" "This wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald in the school book depository." "It was a highly coordinated plan, multiple parties acting together." "Father's Landry protest was no coincidence." "It was a planned distraction." "Now I let him go because I wanna catch a bigger fish." "What are you saying, Chris?" "It's a request to the Justice Department for a formal investigation into special agent Erica Evans." "I don't like it either, Paul." "But we can't ignore this any longer." "I heard all about what you did tonight, Jack." "You know what the consequences are for something like this." "The Vatican was clear." "I only did and said what I believe in." "I don't understand." "You'll be laicized." "You'll never wear the collar again." "They can take my collar." "But they can't take my faith." "You lied to me." "You knew about the assassination attempt before I left." "It may cost Marcus' life." "I'm sorry, Anna." "You were right." "I don't have anyone." "Okay?" "That's why I warned you." "That's why I saved your life." "Now please." "Bliss my daughter." "I'll give you whatever you want, whoever you want." "Yes." "You will." "Thank you..." "My queen." "Marcus' condition remains unknown at this time following the attempt on his life earlier tonight." "Stay tuned to WNT for continuing live coverage of all of the events surrounding tonight's gala." "Who the hell tipped Anna off?" "There were only two people who had the information and the means to alert Anna." "Oh, correction." "One person..." "And one reptile." "And I damn well know it wasn't Erica." "Ryan."
