All language subtitles for V.S01E04.The.Deception

Thanks for stopping. You're
the first person I've seen in days.

Are you nuts? This is
Visitor territory out here.

I know. I was up in Santa
Cruz when they attacked.

I've been trying to get back
to my father's ranch ever since.

A ranch? Where?

It's right outside Mount
Wilson. It's not far from here.

I don't know, 5 miles
as the crow flies.

Wilson? That's more like
25 if you stick to the road.

Come on.

Put this on.

- If it's out of your way...
- No, forget it.

By the way, I'm Kyle Bates.

Robin Maxwell.

Nice to meet you, Robin.

- What about the road?
- I thought you said you wanted to fly.

It's not much farther now.

Why are we stopping?
The ranch is up ahead.

Wait a minute.

Wait here. I'm
gonna check it out.

Easy. Don't try to say anything.

No time.

Club Creole, Main Street.

Take the pouch to the fireman.

What happened to the courier?

His body was found, but not
the pouch he was carrying.

Are you sure he was from
the World Liberation Front?

We've monitored all transmissions
between the Resistance in LA,

and the WLF in New York.

It's clear they intend to move
Elizabeth within the next two weeks.

This courier was to have
brought the precise details.

Unless he was a decoy.

Begging your pardon, but when
our patrol reached the courier

- there was another rider there.
- Another? Who?

- Positive identification was impossible...
- Impossible?

- Why wasn't he brought for interrogation?
- He escaped.

However, from the description

it is possible to believe
he was Nathan Bates' son.

How intriguing.

Why wasn't I
informed of this earlier?

I felt you had more
important matters to deal with.

I appreciate your
concern, Lydia, dear.

But in the future, let me
decide what is important.

- You still want us to go after Elizabeth?
- The child is a hybrid

the only product of our
successful mating with the humans.

Her genes contain information that
could help us end the war in weeks.

And make you the
conquering hero.

How perceptive.

Order a transport.

I think it's time that I
spoke with Nathan Bates.

What about Donovan's son?

Sean, how would you
like to see your father?

Leave my father alone.

Have him prepared and
brought to the embassy.

The drug seems to be wearing off.
Give him another injection of procorb.

I may have some work for him.

You were wonderful! I really
thought they had us again.

Aren't you staying?

WLF. Does that mean anything?

No.

It's gotta be pretty important to be
worth dying for. I'd better check it out.

Why don't you stay here in
case things get tight, okay?

Look, I know you're
worried about your daughter.

But after this morning, it's certain
she's not at your father's ranch.

She's just such a little girl.

And we're going to
find her, I promise.

Okay?

Be careful.

You know me.

I don't believe it. The eggs
cost more than the souffl�.

Boss, there is a
strangler at the door.

- You mean a stranger, right?
- That is right. A stranger.

He says he's looking
to burn someone.

The other guy who gave
me this didn't make it.

You said get it to
the fireman. Now...

You've got this address?

Doesn't look too
much like a firehouse.

Look, who invited you, anyway?

Hey, don't come unstrung.

- I guess I just got the wrong spot.
- Guess again.

The party's just getting
started. Let's take a seat.

- What's your name?
- Kyle Bates.

I used to work for a man named
Nathan Bates. Ever heard of him?

Maybe. What's it to you?

He sold us out to the
lizards, and I don't like him.

Well, at least we
agree on one thing.

What's he to you?

My father.

The World Liberation Front seal
is on it. Where's the message?

I ate it.

How do I know you're
the guys I should give it to?

- I'll stand on your neck if you don't.
- And you don't want that.

Well, I guess I'm not
ready to die for the cause.

Looks like the code.

Lock up the place, and
keep him here till I get back.

Humans have such primordial
taste in art, Mr. Bates.

Surely you didn't come here to
lecture me on aesthetics, Diana.

Or is there some
refinement to your personality

that I'm missing?

Actually I came on two accounts.

First, to thank you for
giving us back our embassy.

In the interest of peace

it's always good to keep the
channels of communication open.

What was the second reason?

It's come to my attention that your
son is perhaps aiding the Resistance.

I've told you before that I cannot be
held responsible for my son's actions.

He has a mind of his own.

Then, in the interest of peace,
I suggest you make certain

that he doesn't become a Brakal.

I've never heard of a Brakal,

but I'd bet my bottom dollar
you're about to explain it to me.

On our planet, Mr. Bates

a Brakal is a creature
so mesmerized by fire

that it eventually consumes him.

- Meaning?
- Meaning we agreed on an Open City.

The Resistance
threatens that agreement.

If your son were to
join the Resistance

I couldn't possibly
guarantee his safety.

I see.

After I finish
redecorating the embassy

I'll throw a small party
for some of our friends.

One last thing.

Since you're so
concerned with peace

don't bug my office.

I might misinterpret
your intentions.

You shouldn't have come
here. Bates can walk in anytime.

I know. I don't have any choice.

We gotta get this thing
decoded right away.

- Here it is.
- What?

"Rendezvous, China Flats

"1300 hours, Friday."

Friday? That means
we only have 48 hours.

China Flats. That's
35 miles north of here.

I'm not so sure sending Elizabeth
to New York is a very good idea.

With Robin missing, we're the
only people that she really knows.

Red Dust is still active in New York.
She needn't worry about Diana there.

- What's that?
- Bates.

Julie, could you come
in here a minute, please?

Yes, Nathan.
I'll be right there.

Mind if I ask you a question?

Aren't you one of them?

I thought the Visitors
only ate live meat.

That is correct. But
I am a veterinarian.

We will open soon,
so I must change.

Leave your plate.
I'll bust it later.

Going somewhere, buddy?

- That girl.
- Girl?

What girl? I
didn't see any girl.

I don't see anybody
here but me and you.

I just talked to Donovan. He
said you could go on one condition:

You keep your mouth shut about
this place and us. You understand?

I wouldn't even
recommend the food.

I want my portrait hung there.

That seems rather human
of you, don't you think, Diana?

You haven't been fighting
this war as long as I have.

I want the humans to know who's
in charge when they come here.

Whatever you like.

How is the special
interrogation room coming?

The holographic synthesizers
will be installed before nightfall.

- Although I still don't see the rush.
- You will.

- You have your orders.
- We will be back before dark.

The boy will see to that.

Good hunting, Captain.

Dad, you're awake!

- What hit me?
- You don't remember, do you?

These blackouts.

Ever since the war ended,
you haven't been the same.

Ended? The war is over?

- Have the Visitors left?
- Yes, almost a year now.

Thank Gods you persuaded me
to let Elizabeth go to New York,

and work with the
Liberation Front.

- Yeah. If she
hadn't helped them

they never being able to
perfect the neutron oscillator.

The what?

The weapon we used to beat them.

Mike, it's happening
again. Call Dr. Harmon.

Tell him your father awake,
but he's having another relapse.

- Wait a minute...
- Don't move. It'll just make things worse.

Don't worry, you'll
get your memory back.

We have to go to Ham
Tyler's wedding tomorrow.

Wedding?

Tyler? Who'd marry him?

Mike, you're his best man.

You're kidding.

I must check my
appointment calendar.

I couldn't reach the
doctor, so I left a message.

Okay, fine.

Why don't you stay with your
father while I go run some errands?

You two can talk baseball.

I'll stop back later
with something to eat.

I make a most
convincing Julie, don't I?

Very impressive.

I must confess a certain
skepticism in all this machinery.

State-of-the-art
holographic generators

plus 200 cc's of contramine.

Donovan's convinced
he's in his own bedroom.

Unless, of course,
he tries to go outside.

The drug will prevent him from
getting out of bed for at least 24 hours.

By that time, he will have told us every
detail of the Star-child's rendezvous.

He'd better. A second dose
of contramine would kill him.

Dear Lydia, always so negative.

If you need to enter the room,
slip one of these around your neck.

The holographic generator
has been programmed,

so you appear to be
someone he knows.

Personally, I prefer
old-fashioned torture.

At least you had some fun.

Fun is all in the knowing how.

Meanwhile, why not send someone
for Donovan's appointment calendar

in case he asks for it again.

Okay, I've got your fake birth
certificate and your driver's license.

This is very important.
Until you get to New York

you'll be traveling under
the name Elizabeth Dunne.

Have I done something wrong?

Wrong?

Sweetheart, no. We just
want you to go where it's safe.

New York?

- But I don't know anyone there.
- You will.

I promise you

when we find your
mother, she'll join you.

And you?

I can't go with you. I have to
stay here and fight for peace.

What a confusing world.

Fight for peace. Isn't
that a contradiction?

Yeah, it sure is.

There are a lot of
contradictions in this world.

I bet it's really
difficult for you.

Someday am I gonna
have to fight for peace?

I hope not.

- Julie, excuse.
- Yeah.

They have need for you upstairs.

Okay, listen. If you like, I'll go with
you to the plane tomorrow, okay?

Yes, I'd like that.

Good luck, sweetheart.

Afraid?

Everything is so
strange and new.

It is a very strange world.

It's not just this
place, it's me.

Like yesterday,
there was this boy.

We touched, only for a moment,

but I can't forget
how it made me feel.

All frightened and
excited at the same time.

Yes, I have had those
feelings for a human, too.

- You must be careful.
- Why?

Human love can
sometimes be very painful.

I must go now.

Willie?

Thank you.

How's it look?

Nothing a new transmission
or engine wouldn't fix.

- Have you heard from Donovan?
- Not since yesterday. Why?

Julie says nobody's
seen him since last night.

He was supposed to get extra cars.
Maybe it took longer than expected.

Yeah, I guess you're right. How
many changes are we gonna need?

At least two: One at Griffith Park,
and one in the Hollywood Hills.

That means we'll have to get past
Bates' checkpoint in Cahuenga Pass.

The police are checking
everyone for Resistance people.

Get in and turn it
over. What's this "we"?

- I'm going with you.
- Won't that blow your cover?

I don't have any choice. Elizabeth
trusts me. I won't let her down.

Even if you have to
jeopardize the Resistance?

Whatever it takes.

Funny, you always said put the
cause in front of the individual.

What are you doing back here?

I thought it over.

You guys look like you
could use some help.

Dude, I told you, we
don't want any, all right?

Checked the distributor?

Actually, there was this girl
that I saw here yesterday...

Look, man, I told you.
We don't want any.

Suit yourself.

Wait a minute.

Can you find two more like that,

and meet me at the Mulholland
cut-off at noon tomorrow?

Maybe. Why?

I thought I'd show you
how to ride, smart guy.

You're on, old
man. Just be there.

What, are you crazy, man?
He's asking about Elizabeth.

He's asking about some girl.

When he realizes she's
Elizabeth, she'll be in New York.

- Besides, we need him.
- What for?

Rule to live by: Never go
anywhere without Plan B.

- So where are you going?
- To check on Donovan.

Don't let Julie talk you
into anything till I get back.

I'm glad you're awake. I
thought we could share a bite.

Thanks, but I'm afraid
I'm not very hungry.

How are you going to
get better if you don't eat?

I don't know.

You know, I was just
thinking how peaceful it is.

It's hard to get used to the war
being over. It seems so sudden to me.

Funny, that's exactly what you
said the last time this happened.

I'm sorry, that must have
been pretty rough on you.

Sean's been a big help.

I'm glad.

About the last thing I remember

was Sean

just before these
Visitors grabbed me.

You mean, you don't remember
getting Elizabeth to New York?

I remember planning
the rendezvous

the time, the place.

I'll never forget that Saturday.

What's this?

You're married?

You're not getting out of it
that easily. We're married.

- We?
- Yes.

- When?
- Right after the war.

That's terrific, and I
don't remember a thing.

You're gonna have to
fill me in on the details.

First let's have a piece of
pastry. Sean went out especially.

Maybe later.

Disgusting.

But how do you
know they've got him?

All I know is what happened
when I got to Donovan's.

Do you have any idea where
they could have taken him?

The lizard I found there
wasn't much on small talk.

Why don't you go find Donovan,
and I'll take the kid to the chopper.

No, I promised her.

She's been let down by
too many people already.

You better get a move on
to make that rendezvous.

The van's in the alley
and gassed. Let's go.

I'll never forget you both.

Neither will we.

Good purchase.

Goodbye, Willie.

Morning, Dad.

Julie said you were having breakfast.
Thought I'd bring you the paper.

Thanks, kiddo.

The way my head feels this
morning, I'm not up to much reading.

Yeah, that's okay.

I was hoping we'd get a
chance to talk, anyway.

There's an article on the
front page about Elizabeth.

It makes it sound like she
won the war single-handedly.

That sounds like
you don't believe it.

- Maybe I just know the truth.
- Really?

And what is the truth?

That if you hadn't gotten
her to the rendezvous that day

she could've never done a thing.

It was a war, son.
Everybody had to do a part.

I just wanted to let you know that I
know you were the real hero, Dad.

Thanks, kiddo. Just hearing
that from you makes me feel good.

One thing I never
figured out, though.

How did the Liberation Front
tell you where they'd pick her up

without Diana ever finding out?

We decoded a secret message
sent by courier and the rest was easy.

Yeah? What did it say?

That's funny.

I can't remember what happened
yesterday, but I remember that message.

"Rendezvous chopper, China Flats

"1300 hours, Friday."

Hey, I wouldn't worry.

It'll all come back soon. I've
got to go run an errand for Julie.

- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

It looks like a
pretty nice day out.

Maybe later, we can get
together and play some catch.

Yeah, sure. As
soon as I get back.

Papers.

There you go.

Science Frontiers?

You want to step out and
let me see what's in back?

Check the pass, pal. That's top priority.
I've got orders to deliver to Bates himself.

You've got orders
and I've got orders.

Let's not make life
tougher than it already is.

I've got to see what's
in back. Come on, out.

Come on, let's go!

I still don't understand
why I can't come with you.

I told you before, I'm not sure
what I've gotten myself into.

Then why go?

I said I would.

Look, Robin, I know it's
tough losing your little girl.

But we're gonna find her.
It's just a matter of time.

It's just that right now I've got
some things that I've got to do.

All right?

All right.

Who's that?

My father.

Why don't you go inside?

I see you have company.

You might at least introduce
me to your lady friend.

Well, that's all right. I was the
same way when I was your age.

Nice tie.

Kind of matches Diana's eyes.

I see you haven't changed
your opinion of the deal I struck.

- I call them like I see them.
- I did it for you, you know.

No, you did what you
did for a lot of reasons

the same reasons you've
always done things your way:

Business, brinksmanship,
and bucks. The three "B" s.

Kyle begins with a
"K," remember, Dad?

So don't pin this one on me.

I suppose you think
you'd be living here

lizard-free if it wasn't for the
deal I struck for the open city.

Lizard-free. What
an interesting idea.

- Too bad it doesn't really apply.
- Of course it does.

For 50 square miles within
the confines of Los Angeles.

In case you hadn't noticed,
Dad, LA is crawling with Visitors.

They come and go as they
please. That's the bargain.

- But they leave us in peace.
- For now

while they chow down
on the rest of the planet.

Kyle, let me tell you something.

We both know there's a free
world out there, fighting for its life.

God knows where we'd all be without
the Red Dust keeping them at bay.

I'm just trying to bide a little
time till I find a way to win this war.

But I can't do that if the
peace is constantly jeopardized

by groups of dissidents,
like the Resistance.

Great.

You buy time your
way, I'll buy time mine.

Then you're with the Resistance?

I didn't say that.

Where are you going?

To test the bikes.

Call Headquarters. I want a
house-to-house of the entire area.

This is Grid 13, from
Point Street bridge.

We have Resistance fighters on
foot. Officer requests assistance. Out.

Are you sure he said 1300 hours?

- Today at China Flats.
- That leaves us less than two hours.

Get me the coordinates for China Flats
and have an assault team standing by.

Yes, Commander.

I want to supervise the
capture of the Star-child myself.

You've done very well.

I've been looking for
a bright young man

who appreciates the possibilities
of peaceful coexistence.

How would you like a
commission in the Young Guards?

Would I get to
wear a real uniform?

Certainly. See to it right away.

So you believe him?

As long as he's on the
regular dosage of procorb

the boy's mind is ours.

And you're certain a single
assault team will be enough?

To retrieve a little girl from
a handful of malcontents?

I'm sure that one will
be more than enough.

Then perhaps I could dispose
of Donovan permanently.

Just don't botch the job.

Little girl? She isn't a
little girl anymore. She's...

If there's one thing I can't
stand, it's a two-faced woman.

It's nice to see you
keep your appointments.

You're late.

Yeah, we missed our bus.
We'll need two more of these.

You must be Kyle.
I'm Juliet Parrish.

This is Elizabeth Dunne.

Yeah, we've met.

I know who you are and the
chance you're taking. I thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Forget it.

My father and I don't
agree on much anymore.

This is an interesting
way to decorate your bike.

Lizard repellent. Never
leave home without it.

What's the quickest
way to China Flats?

There's a short cut through the
glen. That is, if you can keep up.

I'll keep up.

Hey, pal, is this
Thursday or Friday?

- Friday, why?
- 'Cause I'm late.

- You ride a pretty mean bike.
- Mean?

Tough.

You know, good.

I'm sorry you've got to go.

Will I see you again?

Too many promises.

Maybe someday.

Someday soon.

Time to go, Elizabeth.

- See you around.
- I hope so.

Mind the store, hotshot.
We'll be right back.

Ambush! Get to the chopper!

After him! Don't let him escape!

I'm afraid this flight's
been cancelled.

Mr. Tyler, we meet again.

The child.

You were supposed
to bring Elizabeth.

She's grown.

You're more beautiful
than I expected.

But then, your father was quite
handsome before he was killed.

Isn't that right, Mr. Tyler?

I wouldn't know. My
tastes don't run to reptiles.

Save your humor for
the Mothership, Mr. Tyler.

A shuttle craft is on its way.

And who have we here?

Staff car approaching, Diana. By
the speed, it appears to be urgent.

- Why isn't he slowing down?
- He's coming straight at us!

It's Donovan!

Diana's got Elizabeth.

Let her go.

You must be joking.

Catch!

Tyler, we were beginning
to worry about you.

Did you get rid of that limo?

I parked it a block from the
embassy with the engine running.

- What?
- You gave it back to them?

Yes, with the tires slashed and
enough sand in the crankcase

to make it the biggest
metal bookend in LA.

All right.

You know, we were
really lucky today.

No, I was very lucky.

And I'd like to
thank you, all of you,

for trying to get me
safely to New York.

But I've thought about it.

I don't want to leave
you all. You're my friends.

Safety without you, it
wouldn't mean anything.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

I guess it's settled.

Except for one thing. Hey, Kyle

like I said earlier, we
could use some help.

Yeah, well, I've never
been much of a joiner.

But I'll be around.

All right.
