"Previously on V" "It's a day of high emotion as we open our doors to a nation from beyond our imagination." "The captains of our 29 ships are present." "The Visitors didn't just get here." "They've been here for years." "There's others out there like me." "We'll help." "There were hundreds of images being captured by the damn jackets." "why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with?" "They need us for something." "We want to provide complete medical services to all." "John May started the Fifth Column..." "The first group of Visitors to ever turn against the leadership." "The Fifth Column says hello." "Georgie, this is Erica." " I brought a friend." "Hello." " Hello." "Tyler's the one." "You should use him." "You're doing an excellent job." "Thank you, mother." "Georgie." "I feel like I've been doing a lot of talking." "Sorry about that." "No, it's... it's okay." "We're... we're grateful." "You know so much more about the V's than we do." "Been doing this a long time." "They came after me when I first found out about them." "I got away." "My family didn't." "Jack told me." "I'm sorry." "How do you know so much about them?" "Been doing this even longer than Georgie." "Look, we all know why we're here." "We need to hit them back for what they did to us at the warehouse." "We don't have enough people to hit anyone back." "We don't need a lot of people." "We just need to get our hands on a V." "Then what?" "Then we cut it open and we show the world what's underneath." "If we do that, they got no choice but to retaliate." "That's just a war we can't win." "They'd wipe us out." "Georgie, no one's backing down, but we have to be smart about how we fight." "You didn't answer my question before." "How do you know so much about the V's?" "You got nothing to worry about with Ryan." "He saved my ass at the warehouse." "If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead right now." "Why?" "Why didn't you just tell them that you're a V?" "It's a priest and an FBI agent." "What, you can't trust them?" "What is wrong with you?" "I better not ever hear you talk about skinning a V again." "His name was Dale Maddox, a sleeper agent we had installed in the New York FBI office." "And you're telling me he was murdered aboard my ship?" "Yes." "In the medical bay." "We've never had a murder any of our ships." "Who would do such a thing?" "There are rumors of traitors aboard..." "Fifth Column." "We can't afford any kind of dissonance among our people." "Joshua, assemble a team immediately and find out who did this." "Hi, sweetheart." "You working?" "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "Absolutely." "Can you give me two minutes?" "... than the Visitors' high commander, Anna." "I understand you have some exciting news to share with us today." "We do, Chad." "We're announcing a new program that will spread the miracles of our healing centers" " to countless people." " Do you know when she'll be back?" "Well, is there another doctor I can see?" "No, it's all right." "Yeah, thanks anyway." " You all right?" " I feel like crap." "You know, there's that nasty bug that's going around." "No, it's these meds." "They're making me so tired." "I'm trying to get 'em changed, but Dr. Soder's out of town till next week." " Maybe I should just stop taking them." " No, you can't just stop" " taking heart medication." " I know." "I'll be fine." "I've just got a couple of clients today, so I'm gonna take it easy." "Okay." " You need anything, you let me know, okay?" " I will." " Love you." " I love you." "Which brings me to today's announcement." "Our physicians are able to treat a number of human ailments, but preventative medicine is also important." "We've developed an injection..." "call it a vitamin supplement... designed to strengthen the immune system." "Not just strengthen it, I'm told, but supercharge it to help fight off numerous forms of cancer, other diseases, even stave off the effects of aging." "All true." "We'll be offering the injections around the clock at our healing centers in the days to come." "Any chance you're gonna cure the common cold for us?" "Your flu shots will have to suffice." "I'm afraid even we haven't cracked the common cold." "I guess even the V's have their limitations." "Anna, thank you so much for being with us." "Mom... it's been, like, way more than two minutes." "Yeah." "Um... yes." "Sorry." " Hi." " Hey." "I'm all yours." "Okay... okay." "It's... it's about the girl you met last night..." "Lisa." "Half-naked girl in my son's room Lisa." " Mom." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Do you... okay." "O... okay." "I'm not gonna get it." "I wanna hear." "I'm not gonna get it." "It's work." "I mean, you should take it." "It's fine." "Will you hold on for a second?" "'Cause I will get rid of 'em." " Okay?" "Evans." " Yeah, it's Ryan." "Yeah, I'm gonna need to call you back. what?" "no, this can't wait." " No, Ty." "Bubba." "What..." " No, mom, seriously, it... it's fine." " No, I'm..." "I can..." "I w..." " Well, we'll talk about it later." "We can..." " Yeah." " We need to meet... right now." "This thing that Anna's calling a vitamin injection..." " She's lying." " How do you know?" "A couple years ago, I took out a cell of V scientists." "They were working on an injection." "They tried to mass produce and distribute it among humans." "If you're gonna put something harmful into a vitamin, then why do you go on television, make such a big deal about it?" "Anna wouldn't make an announcement like this if it wasn't something big." "I know what I'm talking about." "They've reactivated this plan." "So they're gonna what... they're gonna take us out one shot at a time?" "No, this is part of something that's... that's just much bigger." "Now I know the names of the V's that were involved the last time." "Some of them survived." "Maybe you can run 'em through the FBI, see who's still out there." " Mm." "This isn't getting us anywhere." " Is that all of them?" "Yeah." "No." "Try Peter Combs." "He was a lab assistant, pretty low level." "That's him." "Professor of chemistry?" "Not low level anymore." " This Peter Combs... he's a V?" " He's a V. Yeah," "I say we track him down and find out what he's up to." " How about we just take him out?" " Taking out one V is not gonna get us anywhere." "If we follow him, he'll lead us to a bigger part of the puzzle." "Seriously, that's the plan?" "Follow him?" "That's the plan." "I can't talk to my mom anymore." "I've tried telling her about this girl I met..." "She won't give me two seconds." "She doesn't trust me." "She just keeps on telling me, "stay away from the V's."" "And you don't know how to tell her that the V's are important to you?" "She doesn't want to hear it." "Look..." "I joined the peace ambassadors." "If my mom knew, she would go ballistic." "She thinks the V's are evil." "And how do you see them?" "The world's broken." "They're fixing it." "All we do is, we get in their way." "They got these healing centers." "The things they can do..." "Have you been down there to the healing centers?" "No." "Not yet." "Why?" "I just..." "I've been tempted myself to check them out." "I hear you have to wait months though." "Well, I mean, if you really wanna go, I..." "I might be able to help." "I..." "I kinda know someone." "That's really sweet of you, Tyler." "I might actually take you up on that." "I hear they're curing blindness, helping handicapped people walk, all these great things, and..." "My mom will never know because she won't even talk to one." "You know, I shouldn't even care." "I'm gonna be 18 in a month, and then after that I won't have to deal with any of this." "Your mom doesn't stop being your mom because you're 18." "Yeah." "Well, I feel like she stopped being by mom a long time ago." "I thought it might take longer, but I think Tyler's ready." "Good." "Bring him up to the ship." "Tell him I wanna meet him." "V1x04 It's Only The Beginning Original Air date on November 24, 2009" "From transcript on Addic7ed [honeybunny} re-sync, corrections, HI by elderman" "Thank you again for doing this report on our healing centers." "It's not like I had much of a choice." "Anna wouldn't do the interview with me unless I did this." "Wow!" "That was amazing." "And that's why we want you to share our story with the world." "This is Tyler." "Leave a message." "Still can't get ahold of him?" "He's mad at me." "Ah." "You wanna talk about it?" "I do not." "Okay." "Hello?" "Hey, it's Ryan." "We're set." "Class is out in 15 minutes." "When Combs heads to his car, we got him covered." "I'm on the ground floor." "Georgie's upstairs." "I'm checking in with Georgie now." "You've interviewed all of the medical staff?" "Extensively." "We couldn't find anyone who could shed any light on the murder." "How many of your staff were on duty that day?" "14, maybe 15." "Gather them." " They've already been questioned." " I understand that." "Gather them anyway." " You have to get off the ship." " I am not running." "You're too important." "The column needs you." "You'll carry on, and so will the others." "No, you cannot be sacrificed no matter what." "I won't let it happen." "Hey, Combs." "I'm gonna cut you open and show the world what you are." "Get the car." "You need to pressure on that wound." "What the hell happened?" "He just started shooting at me." "We need to get him some help." "I'm gonna take care of Combs." " What happened?" " I don't know yet." " You got him?" " I got him." "I'll take care of Georgie." " Just be safe." " You, too." "Did you think you were gonna get away?" "Huh?" "You thought you were gonna get away this time." "You can't stop us, filthy traitor!" "No!" "No!" "You're a Visitor." "What the hell is going on?" "Erica, you and I want the same thing." "We both want to know what Combs was doing." "Except now I got nothing." "You just shot him." "He was gonna kill you." "We're on the same side, Erica." "Everything that I've told you is true." "Except that you're a Visitor." "Never said I wasn't." "Sirens are gettin' close." "What's it gonna be?" "Hi." "Uh, a friend of mine called and made an appointment for me." "The diagnostic scan provides an image of every system in your body on a cellular scale... a level of detail our medical technology can't even begin to fathom." "Okay, I'm all set." "Now for anyone who's had an MRI or a CT scan, this scan is... well, I gotta say, it's kinda pleasant." "Okay, cut." "Check that back for me, will you, Gary?" "Thank you." "Getting everything you need, Mr. Decker?" "Yeah." "Could use a little more freedom to walk around, talk to some of the patients... you know, alone." "I understand." "Tight schedule, I'm afraid." "Maybe next time." "How does a priest know his way around a bullet wound?" "Army chaplain." "Two tours in Iraq." "You and the blonde are full of surprises." "You went after that V in the garage, didn't you?" "I did what was right if we want to win this thing." "You got lucky." "The bullet went through." "Oh, yeah, I feel lucky." "All right..." "This is gonna hurt." "You know, pretty soon, you' gonna need to decide what you are... a priest or a soldier." "Okay, look, we're not gonna get anywhere until you get your question out, so... go." " What happened to Combs?" " Suicide pill." "Leaves no real evidence behind, nothing but ash." "All V's carry one." "Next." "He called you a traitor." "Are there other V's like you fighting against Anna?" "They're called the Fifth Column." "Good to know." "Good." "This just looks like paperwork." "Wait a minute." "He would get all of his supplies from his department, right?" "Probably." "So what's his connection to the Lyndhurst Shipping Company?" "Let's go check it out." "The murdered sleeper agent was a valuable asset." "Had he been debriefed, he would have provided us with invaluable information." "Someone prevented that from happening." "Would you please join the rest?" "You are a part of the medical staff, aren't you?" "Unless the guilty party steps forward to take responsibility," "I'm gonna need to choose one of you to set an example." "The innocent will suffer." "Last chance." "Long live the Fifth Column." "Joshua." "As lead medical officer, you will carry out the sentence." "Skin him." "Am I in trouble with your mom?" " Why would you be in trouble?" " I don't know." "When you called and said she wanted to meet me, if it was my mom, I'd be in trouble." "Mine's not like that." "You guys are so much more evolved than we are." "Oh, my God." "That... that's Anna." "D... do you know her or..." "Yeah." "That's my mom." "Come on." "Lisa's told me all about you." "She, uh, didn't tell me, uh, a lot about you." "But, uh... but I already know a l..." "lot about you, so..." "I'd like to take some time to get to know Tyler." "Is that all right with you?" "Sure." "Don't worry." "She doesn't bite." "See you later." "Excuse me." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Thank you." "I'm so lost." "I was looking for 5700 Gibbs, and... and..." "You know, that address is right over... uhh!" "Erica." " How's Georgie?" " He'll be fine." "What are you doing?" "Protocol nine." "Tells everybody in the building to evacuate immediately." "They'll meet at a rally point off site until further notice." "Should buy us some time while we're in there." "There you go." "All right." "Let's do it." "Lisa's happiness has always been the highest priority for me." "Right now you seem to be a big part of her life." "She's quite taken with you." "Me too." "I mean, you know, with her." "Good." "I'm glad." "I wanted to make sure you felt the same." "I think it's universal instinct for mothers to be protective of their young." "Lisa mentioned you liked motorcycles." "Yeah, I'm kind of hooked on machines." "Well..." "I think you'll enjoy this." "This is the propulsion system we use on each of our 29 ships." "This... is the engine room." "You've gotta be kidding me." "No human has ever seen this before." "You are the first, Tyler." "I thought you'd like it." "How could you do this?" " How could you sacrifice yourself?" " You had to be protected." "You're one of Anna's closest advisors." "That makes you the best hope for the column." "I can't move my body." "I gave you something." "I can't do this." "She suspects you." "That's why she's making you do it." "You have to." "Joshua, do it." "My death will be meaningless if you're found out." "Erica!" "Come on." "You gotta see this." " R6?" " What the hell is R6?" "That's what they're putting in their vitamin shot." "They're experimenting on people." "Is that the vitamin shot?" " No." "It's the flu vaccine." " What, human vaccine?" "They're not mixing their drug into the vitamin shot." "They're mixing it into our flu vaccine." "Shipment leaves tomorrow." "They did everything from here... tested it on humans, packaged it to look like the flu shot." "When this shipment mingles with the real shots, no one will be able to tell the difference." "And no government agency's gonna be worrying about a flu vaccine when they've got a V vitamin to evaluate." "Which, in all likelihood, is nothing more than a vitamin shot." "They know exactly how to play us." "The media bombards us with stories of epidemics, pandemics, so we run out." "We get a shot to protect ourselves." "That's what the V's are counting on... our... our predictability, our human nature." "It's very calculated, isn't it?" "Everything that Anna does is calculated." "So what, we stop doing what makes us human?" "All I'm saying is the more predictable we are, the more vulnerable we are." "I'm gonna keep this as evidence." "The rest we destroy." "The diagnostic scan detected your heart condition, and it is a condition we can heal." "Oh, my God." "That's wonderful." "I was just looking for a change in meds." "But the thing is, Ms. Stevens, the diagnostic also turned up something else." "Something else?" "They came back." "They figured it out." "They know we're here." " You guys go." "I'll be there." " Where the hell are you going?" "Every V security system has a fail-safe." "Hurry." "Come on!" "They're coming!" "Let's go!" "Mr. Decker." "Yes?" "May we have a word before you go?" "Okay." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I wanted to make sure I heard you right." " You think I'm gonna die?" " Had you not come here, almost certainly." "In approximately six months, you will develop a basilar artery aneurysm." "But we can heal you, prevent it from developing." "You wouldn't be offended if I got a second opinion, would you?" "Your technology won't be able to detect this until it's too late." "I know this kind of news is difficult, Mr. Decker." "But the science is incredibly accurate." "Would you like a printout of your medical history to take with you to your second opinion?" "I didn't give you my medical history." "We analyze in four dimensions..." "the fourth being time." "Medically we can determine what's going to happen as well as what's already happened." "Any trauma your body sustained over the years, there's a biological marker of it stored in every cell." "We just extrapolate the data." "Chicken pox at age 8, bronchitis at 14, a broken femur, 26." "Appendicitis at 31 and migraines your whole life." "As I said, Chad, incredibly accurate." "But the good news is, we can heal you." "The bad news is there is a long waiting list." "Though I suppose if you're open to it, we could work something out." "It may not be anything more than a hiccup to Anna, but tonight we landed a punch." "Yeah, we did." "Speaking of punches, father, you got a hell of a right hook." "That V didn't see it coming." "You guys gonna be okay getting home?" " Yeah, we'll manage." " Yeah." "We made a difference tonight." "Our plan is beginning to take hold." "Lisa was right." "Tyler is the one." "What is it?" "The warehouse containing all of the R6 compound has been lost." " How?" " In an explosion." "It's all been destroyed." "It was sabotage." "We received a message from the warehouse moments before." "John May Lives" "Word has spread quickly." "Every ship has heard." "There was already a growing concern, but now there is real fear." "Then we'll have to manage their fear." "Remind everyone that even amid talk of the Fifth Column... of John May... they have me." "No need for regrets, for mistakes made yesterday." "The past is gone." "No looming fate, no uncontrollable destiny." "No hunger." "No sickness." "No fear." "No death." "Nothing ahead." "Nothing behind." "Just stillness..." "Light... warmth." "The pain you felt, the pain that you may have caused others... it's behind you." "Now looking back." "no fear of what will come." "Just the pulse of time, invigorating, soothing." "Bask in my light." "Take comfort knowing I am here." "You will never be alone." "What was that?" "A gift from my mother." "We call it bliss." "# #" "# #" " Hey, sweetheart, I'm home." " I'm in here." "You all right?" "How you feeling?" "Okay." "I got some news today." "What's wrong?" "I didn't believe it, so I had to confirm it." "I wasn't tired 'cause of my meds." "I'm pregnant." "We're gonna have a baby!" "Pretty soon you need to decide what you are..." "A priest or a soldier." "Father Travis?" "Father Travis?" "Who are you?" "How'd you get in here?" "The door was open." "I need to talk." "I'm sorry, it's I... it's late." "You're gonna have to leave." "I'm desperate." "Look, I'm here tomorrow." "We... we can talk tomorrow." "What is it that you need?" "Are you..." "Uh!" "Jack?" "Jack!" "Tyler?" "Ty?" "Ty!" ""Can't believe you were invited up to the V ship!"" "Is everything okay, Tyler?" "Everything's fine." "Mm." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "It must be awesome seeing space from one of these ships." "Maybe one day you will." "What you've seen today, Tyler... is only the beginning."
