All language subtitles for V.2009.S02E05

Narrator: Previously on v:

Chad:
Fifth column has claimed responsibility...

For the peace ambassador murders.

Cohn's out of control.
Could've been Tyler.

Get close to Eli cohn.
You will help me destroy them.

- We're on the same side.
- 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.

It's priests like him that are inciting
the fifth column.

Travis: This is a house of god!

That's Tyler's phone. I'm losing him.
I need help.

I did what I had to do
to protect our species.

Anna: 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 abandoned or in disrepair.

So concordia's like a worldwide
urban-renewal project?

Exactly.

I'll be hosting a gala tonight 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.

Travis: This is a house of god!

Joe:
This is Joe. Leave a message.

Joe, it's me. I need to see you.

It's about our son.

Hey, you.

- Happy birthday.
- Heh.

- Thanks, mom. Heh.
- 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 sorry, mom. I just...

I don't know,
I thought dad would call by now.

Hey, it's okay. He will. It's early, right?

Have a piece of cake.

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.

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
concordia stays on schedule.

Thomas: It is, my queen.

Landing sites have been selected
for every ship...

In preparation for our invasion.
Anna: 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.

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 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
on that ship.

Now, 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.

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.

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, isn't that your ex?

Yeah. Problem with Tyler.
Had to bring in the heavy artillery.

Heard about you two.

Sorry it didn't work out.

Federal officer married to a civilian,
that'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.

Erica: 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 missing ladder in Ty's DNA,
why would they do that?

We think they wanna put something else
in there. Something not from you or me.

This is crazy.

The high levels of phosphorous
in my blood, the preeclampsia...

The visitors did that.

They have been messing with Tyler
since before he was born.

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 yet you let him date one of them?

We can trust Lisa.

Who else knows about the visitors,
what they 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?
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.

An na: 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 think this concordia project
is all world peace...

Jobs for everyone,
chicken in every pot?

Anna hasn't promised anything
she didn't deliver.

All the same, a lot of people are
asking questions about her.

But not you. And 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 critical voice
to face off against you.

- A kind of point-counterpoint?
- Exactly.

We're bringing in talent from Boston,
Philly and DC. This afternoon.

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 the spotlight.

Bring them on.

Going one-on-one with the other side
is only gonna make me look better.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Happy birthday.
- Oh.

I wanted to get you something
that will always remind you of us.

I love it.

And you.

Tyler.

- Yesterday at the church...
- Erica: Tyler?

Hey.

Lisa, you remember Tyler's dad?

Hey, hddo.

Happy birthday.

Look, I know things didn't go
too well last time.

And I've been talking to your mom
and thinking about it since I saw you last.

You might not believe it,
but when I turned 18...

I was so much like you.

My old man...

He wasn't there for me either.

Sound familiar?

- Go ahead. Just open it up.
- Open it.

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 our 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 when you get back.

Erica: 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 we can ensure that
Anna never gave another gift to earth?

- I went to see cohn.
- Without telling us.

- Last 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 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 minimize 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 an 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
with one swift blow.

- This is our shot.
- And how many innocents go with her?

Erica: 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?
We can't fall apart, not now.

I am not the one
who changed the 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.

- You made the right choice.
- Erica, I...

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.

I am. 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 you've taken
quite an interest in our son.

Tyler is 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, designed this ship?

- I did.
- Heh.

Thomas: Anna tells me
that you're 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 you... 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.
- Come.

Thank you, Anna, 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,
real jobs in a harsh economy...

Is a home run for the visitors.

When newcomers arrive,
you have to be careful...

- Beware of Greeks bearing gifts?
- Exactly.

The trojan horse filled with soldiers.

Smallpox-infected blankets
for native Americans.

These "gifts" didn't work out
too well for the recipients.

But Anna has demonstrated
the utility of her gifts.

We have clean air and
revitalized deserts to prove it.

I'm sure native Americans were warm in
their blankets before they started dying.

Neil: Cut.
Cameraman: We're clear.

That was great.

The public deserves to hear both sides.
It's good TV.

Kerry, the job's yours if you want it.

Hey. You've been gone a long time.
Everything okay with Ty?

He hasn't seen his dad for a while.
I wanted to be there.

I'm up to speed.
Let's get the briefing started.

Erica:
Nice to see you again, Marcus.

All right, people.

With the recent increase
in fifth column attacks...

Protocol 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...

Most especially
the fifth column task force...

For providing security
at this very important event.

We're happy to assist any way we can.

An na: 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.

Glad to see you're coming around.

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'll have metal detectors
at checkpoints...

And an ion scanner that will detect
microscopic residue of explosives.

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.

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?

Erica: 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 will send agents
to deal with you.

They'll pull them from security,
leaving a hole for Hobbes to get inside.

Once there,
I'll give him access into the building.

I know 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.

The shot's too important.
You're gonna need a spotter. Me.

My men will be among your rabble...

Making sure the cops
have a nice long time away.

Good. Our teams working as one.
For tonight.

Marcus, your security officers informed
me that Anna's personal safety...

- Will be handled by visitor guards.
- Correct.

Anna will never be left unprotected.

- Anna's guards will know me by sight.
- Erica: You're not gonna be there.

- Anyone spots you, we're toast.
- What about Chad?

He'll be covering the event.
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.

Any questions?

No, you and your team
have been very thorough.

Knowing you're in charge, agent Evans,
I am sure Anna will feel much safer.

Anna: Marcus tells me everything
is ready for tonight's announcement.

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.

Oh, god.

Do you remember the day
that we brought him home from the...?

You've never dressed like that
for work before.

Thanks for noticing.

Have you 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.

Joe: Listen, um...

You be careful, okay?

Listen, you have a long drive back.

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?

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've infiltrated the fifth column.

I wanna know if there are any threats
against us for tonight.

I 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 the pain.

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 into getting me on the list.

Thought, if I'm gonna 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.

You cleaned our oceans
and brought life to our deserts.

But what's the real purpose
behind all this generosity?

I don't understand your question.

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.

Jack: All right, let's go. Keep it
peaceful, but keep it strong, okay?

Come on.

Agent: Father Landry's
organizing protestors at the east gate.

Requesting backup.

- I just got a...
- I know.

Protest, south quadrant.
Good father Landry.

Peel off a couple of our guys,
shut it down.

- I'm on my way.
- Okay.

Let's go.

Crowd: V's go home. V's go home.

Cop 1: Whoa, back it up, please.

Crowd: V's go home. V's go home.
V's go home.

Cop2: Moving in.

Crowd: V's go home.

- What do you got?
- Got a situation.

We're gonna need everybody
you got 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.

An na:
Only my bliss can alleviate her pain.

Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen,
here to launch the concordia project...

Please welcome to the podium
high commander Anna.

Ryan 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.
- Erica: That is not the plan.

If we can't cut the
head off the beast...

We can at least Rob it
of its right hand.

We'll never have this opportunity again.
We gotta take the shot.

To exemplify concordia's spirit...

Of cooperation between
visitors and humans...

I'd 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.

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 Erica 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.

Marcus: Thank you.

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.

Man:
Move! Go! Go! Go! Secure the area!

We're good.
We've gotta get out of here now.

Thomas: 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 is 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.

- Look at that.
- Thanks, mom.

Happy birthday, Tyler.

Make a wish.

You're lucky you 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
and the school book depository.

It was a highly coordinated plan,
multiple parties acting together.

Father Landry's 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?

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 his 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.

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 her.

Or correction: One person...

And one reptile.

I know damn well it wasn't Erica.

Ryan.
