All language subtitles for V.S01E11.The.Hero

Good evening. I am Howard K. Smith.
And this is the state of the war tonight.

The defenders of Cordoba,
the last free city in Spain...

refused to surrender this week
despite seven weeks of savage fighting.

When offered terms
by the Visitors...

Juan Palacios, the leader
of the Spanish Resistance...

is reported to have replied...

"Spain for the Spanish,
death to the Visitors."

In LA, the wounding of Nathan Bates
remains an issue of great dispute...

with both the Aliens and the
Resistance blaming each other.

As for Bates himself, he has issued a
statement outlawing the Resistance...

and placing the city
under martial law.

Benni Scallini, a 34-year-old
insurance man from Atlanta, Georgia...

received the Freedom Network
Medal of Valor for his efforts...

in derailing a train, carrying 600
people through a labor camp in Savannah.

More than half the prisoners
were able to flee from the train.

And that's where
we stand tonight.

From the Freedom Network in
New York. Our hopes are with you.

Good night.

What you need is a
thermonebulon rasafrats.

The last thing I need is
a stand-up lab assistant.

It's quitting time, you
better be nice to me...

or I won't come back.

- Night, Doc.
- Good night.

Resistance. Don't anybody move.

Where's Nathan Bates?

Nathan Bates? What
are you talking about?

Either you tell me where he is, or
we'll start doing some serious damage.

You can't do this.
This is private property.

Starting with you.
Now, I know he's here.

Talk to me.

He was never brought here.

I swear.

You're a liar. They'd
never trust a hospital.

All right, let's
get out of here.

I believed in the Resistance.
Why did you do this?

We pause for a moment to bring you
the latest report on Science Frontiers...

where Mary McHugh
is standing by.

I'm here at the headquarters of
Nathan Bates where members...

of the Los Angeles Resistance
staged a violent surprise attack.

Apparently the raiders were
attempting to kill Mr. Bates...

who was wounded earlier
in an assassination attempt...

- What the...
- I'm sorry.

- What was that, an earthquake?
- No, I was experimenting.

I'm not quite sure how to control
my powers. I've been practicing.

Practicing?

Practicing what?
Becoming an alarm clock?

You looked kind of restless, I
felt like I needed to hold you.

And before I knew
it, I was holding you.

Along with the bed?

- And then you dropped me?
- I didn't mean to.

The news was on and there's been
another attempt on your father's life.

- Where?
- Science Frontiers, but he wasn't there.

I got upset and I
lost my concentration.

At least we know
he's still alive.

No matter how hard I try...

I can't get the picture of my
father being shot out of my mind.

It's nice to be wanted.

- Especially for something we didn't do.
- The question is, who did?

We'll check out other Resistance groups
in the city. Find out what the word is.

Robin, you get over and see George
Caniff at the underground newspaper.

- We need to set the record straight.
- I'm on my way.

Think we better do a
little digging of our own.

Let's do it.

Then our agent has
arrived in the Open City?

He's already made a contact...

that he believes we'll put him
in touch with the Resistance.

Good. Keep me informed.

Guards, cease them.

I wouldn't advise that, Diana.

What are the
Resistance doing here?

The Resistance?

Why, Diana, dear? Don't you know
Lt. James of Covert Operations?

I thought you were familiar
with all the males in the fleet.

Familiar, Lydia, not intimate.

- James.
- Sir.

- It went well?
- Like clockwork.

Just a scratch.

I'll arrange a battlefield
commendation for you.

You are dismissed.

Your plan to set our enemies against
each other seems to be right on schedule.

What one really needs to
do is to observe their history...

to discover they have this absurd
passion for trying to destroy themselves.

Fifty million people were slaughtered
in their Second World War...

and that was despite the
limitations of primitive weaponry.

If we hadn't arrived, they would've
certainly resorted to a nuclear holocaust.

The fallout would have made
the entire population inedible.

So, thanks to James and his
commandos, the people of Los Angeles...

see the Resistance as a
direct threat to their safety.

Precisely.

The next step is to
reach Bates himself.

- Unless he is already dead.
- He's not, he's alive.

- I'm sure of that. Are you?
- I am.

If Bates were dead, he'd be
choking on the Red Dust by now.

He wears a fail-safe
device on his wrist...

that releases the dust the
moment his pulse stops beating.

A true paranoid. No wonder
he's been so successful.

Given your familiarity with the
subject, perhaps you'd care to join me.

You can relax, Reggie,
nobody's gonna hurt you.

Julie?

Yeah, it's me.

What's going on?

You were at Science
Frontiers the night it was raided.

Yeah, so?

I need to know exactly
what went down.

It's like I told the police, the
Resistance came looking for Bates.

You're lying, Reggie.

We're friends, remember?

Friends like you are
gonna get me killed.

- Who's gonna kill you?
- Nobody.

I didn't see anything, don't know
anything. I don't want to get involved.

You already are!

Talk to me. I swear I
won't use your name.

There'll be no court, no press.

I need to know the truth.

When they raided us
one of the guys got shot.

I couldn't believe they
were with the Resistance...

the way they roughed everybody
up. And then I knew they weren't.

I saw the guy who got shot.

His blood was green.

Still no change.

Doctor, please let me know the
moment he comes out of the coma.

Mr. Chiang?

Charles and Diana are
here to see Mr. Bates.

Should I send them away?

On the contrary. Send
them to Mr. Bates' office.

I will take care of the matter.

Aren't your new seating habits
somewhat premature, Mr. Chiang?

I wonder if you'd be as
quick in Mr. Bates' grave.

Mr. Bates requests you excuse
his unwillingness to meet with you.

And under these circumstances...

he prefers to keep his
enemies at arm's length.

Enemies?

I hardly think so, Mr. Chiang.

Allies comes closer to the mark.

I'm sure Nathan is
aware of who shot him.

And who set him up.

He does not wish to make the
same mistake a second time.

Naturally. But then
the answer is simple.

We must work together to
eliminate the Resistance.

What happened with Ham
Tyler was an unfortunate accident.

Surely Mr. Bates can see that the
Resistance has him marked for death.

The Resistance attack on this building
is proof that we must act before they do.

I will convey your
message to Mr. Bates.

Victory requires action.

I have a plan.

- Would you do the honors?
- Of course.

- Excuse me.
- Surely.

That should do it.

You are about to witness an
interesting technical achievement.

The computer generates
a basic facial structure.

Now, watch closely.

We program in
human characteristics.

Skin tone, hair color,
eye pigmentation.

Hello, Mr. Chiang.

I hope you will listen to
what Charles has to offer you.

I thought you
might be interested.

Most interested.

- It looks and sounds exactly...
- Like Nathan Bates.

You see, I'm offering the
ability to speak out without risk.

And a chance to avenge
those who tried to kill him.

Perhaps you're right.

I think it's time to break the back
of the Resistance once and for all.

"Tigers are often called the
most beautiful of the big cats...

"as well as the most powerful
and dangerous to man.

"But the threat they pose to man
has been greatly exaggerated...

"even though they grow
to a length of 10 feet."

- Ten feet?
- That's right, Nicky.

It's 10 feet long. That
doesn't include their tails.

George.

- Robin.
- Hi.

- Do you have a minute?
- Sure. Private?

- Depends.
- He's okay.

I'm your roving tiger
expert, in from Rajasthan.

Robin Maxwell. John Langley.

John's a stringer
from the Phoenix Post.

He just brought in a interesting piece
on what's going on in occupied territory.

Mucho gusto. Don't
let me interrupt.

That business out
at Science Frontiers?

What's the deal out there?
What am I supposed to print?

Just the truth. We had
nothing to do with it.

You're with the Resistance.
Who's going to believe you?

I would.

Nicky. Time to wash up.

Wait. I'm looking at tigers.

You are all under arrest.

- What is this?
- You'll find out all about it.

- What are you doing?
- Watch it.

Stop it. Leave me
alone. Get off me.

All right.

I'll go quietly.

You are not going anywhere.
No one's going anywhere.

Come on, get them in the back.

I come to you today by the grace
of God and a bulletproof vest.

All rumors as to the extent of my
injuries have been grossly exaggerated...

by the same people who
attempted to assassinate me.

We can no longer tolerate
the chaos and anarchy...

that these thugs bring upon us.

They are a cancer to our society.
They must be rooted out and destroyed.

Accordingly, I have
ordered the arrest...

of a number of known
Resistance sympathizers.

Unless the Resistance leaders...

Mike Donovan, Ham Tyler...

Julie Parrish surrender...

one prisoner per day will be handed
over to the Visitors for execution.

Damn him.

This has been the most
difficult decision of my entire life...

but I know your hopes
and prayers are with me.

Thank you and good day.

My slug should have
caught him between the eyes.

Sonny-boy still
loves his daddy, huh?

You're a real hero when it
comes to shooting unarmed men.

Stop it. Both of you!

We're behaving exactly
like they want us to behave.

All I want is a piece of him.

Kyle, Ham, what are you
doing? You're not enemies.

She is right. We can't fight
them if we fight ourselves.

We have got to
free those hostages.

Free them? We don't
even know where they are.

Somebody out there has
to have seen something.

- Let's split up and find them.
- You come with me, all right?

Remember they've seen our
faces. They'll be looking for us.

They always are.

They came after me. I'm
sorry you two got involved.

Don't be.

I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines
with a notepad while others fight.

I just don't understand
why they're keeping us here.

My guess is, in reprisal for
the attack on Science Frontiers.

But I told you the Resistance
had nothing to do with it.

I guess Nathan Bates
has a different idea.

Boy, my family.

I never even got a chance
to say goodbye to them.

Goodbye? If they can't connect us
with that raid, they can't keep us here.

My guess is you'll be back
with your family in 48 hours.

- You don't believe that, do you?
- No.

But he needs to.

- It's getting hard to be invisible.
- Tell me about it.

All right, he's coming.

Thanks for coming, Glen.

All of us don't play
ball with the lizards.

What about the hostages?

Nothing. If they were being kept
at any city facility, I'd hear about it.

What do you think?

I don't know. Beats
me. One thing's for sure.

If those folks die at noon tomorrow,
you guys ain't gonna have many friends.

May I have your
attention, please.

I'll try to be as
short as possible.

If you got any shorter, you'd
need a ladder to tie your shoe laces.

As I was saying...

before I was rudely interrupted
by our comedic friend here...

unless the Resistance
surrenders...

one of you each day will
be turned over to the Visitors.

You can't do that.

The order will be
determined by lot.

Draw your number.

Now.

Number five.

Next.

She was on the street looking for us.
Mrs. Caniff. Her husband's captured.

Why aren't you doing
something to save them?

- You're Mrs. Caniff?
- Yes.

We know that your
husband's shop was raided.

Do you have any idea where
they may have been taken?

Taken? They weren't
taken anywhere.

They're holding
them at the store.

They're looking for you.

My husband belongs
with his family.

What am I supposed
to tell our little boy?

He keeps asking for his daddy.

Mrs. Caniff, we'll help.

But we need some information.
Was there a young woman there?

They took five others.
One was a young girl.

Mrs. Caniff, I want
you to know, we'll try...

Try? Trying won't
bring back my husband.

It takes courage.
You want to help us?

Surrender.

Let my husband live.

I don't know how to say this.

We all feel terrible about what's
happened to your husband.

But he's not in it
alone. There are others.

Surrender?

I'd do it in a second if I thought it
would stop the killing. But it won't.

This is Visitor blackmail,
pure and simple.

If we give in now, there's
no telling where it'll stop.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Caniff, but
you're just gonna have to trust us.

We're gonna save your
husband our own way.

Number three.

Now, only two left.

Publisher and
our comedic friend.

I got a feeling this is
going to be my lucky day.

What did I tell you?

You're looking at number one.

How appropriate.

Now, all that is left to do is to wait
for the Resistance to surrender...

if they surrender.

Come on, you have to get this
platform finished by tomorrow morning.

Diana will have
us for breakfast.

What's wrong?

As a child, my mother would
teach us to hunt at night.

I was always
afraid of the night.

Relax.

Have I ever let you down?

No, you are my best friend here.

I think we hit the jackpot.

Well, then, let us go back
and tell the others now.

Let's make sure first.

Stay here.

- Robin.
- Robin? Where?

They are holding Robin
in there with the others.

- Wait here.
- Where are you going?

I want to see what
that platform is for.

Over there!

- Kill him.
- Disintegrate.

Oh, God, they killed Elias.

Hang on. There's nothing
you can do for him now.

Hang on, for your own sake.

For me.

The Resistance
doesn't work alone.

I think Willie got away.

Then they'll know where you are.

They won't let you die
here. They'll be back.

But there's so
little time for you.

Then let's not waste
the time we have.

Don't ever leave me.

Never.

Even if I could.

She knew the guy. Resistance.

- Some toy, that rig that nailed him.
- Yeah.

I've seen them use it before in
Prescott on Resistance fighters.

Kind of makes you feel they're
serious about us, doesn't it?

What's your story,
John? Your real story.

I'm the guy that
never got involved.

Until you felt a sudden
compulsion to be a hero?

That's not generally
the way it works.

I just got tired of other
people dying for me.

Just that simple.

Look, I thought it over. I
can't let you take my place.

- You don't have a choice.
- No, that's where you're wrong.

I chose to be a part of the Resistance.
Nobody held a gun to my head.

Now, you want to be a hero, that's fine,
but not at the price of my conscience.

Listen, you got a
family to think about.

You got a woman who loves you,
a son whose life depends on you.

You're part of the struggle.

I got nothing out there...

but a lot of old,
used-up war stories.

This is my big chance, George.

If I can buy some
time for you and her...

just one day...

then maybe my life
will be worth something.

Nobody's going to deny me that.

I think maybe it's time that we
considered turning ourselves in.

We'd better consider it.

Could be just a matter of
time before they catch up.

They have my
mother, and I love her.

But you can't surrender.

You do, and it's over
for the Resistance.

That's not true. The
movement will find other leaders.

- Don't look at me.
- Why not?

You're not exactly what
I'd call a born follower.

- You know that's not the point.
- Kyle, we're not martyrs.

But I am not going to stand around
while innocent people die in my place.

Nobody's asking
you to sit around.

- How's Willie doing?
- He's still pretty shook-up.

- Come on, get up.
- Tyler, back off.

He's had it bad enough
without you getting on his case.

I said, get up.

Every war has its dead
heroes. Those are the rules.

I don't believe this.

Isn't anybody allowed to
show emotion around here?

Not when it gets in the
way of what we have to do.

He's gone, Willie. Look at me.

Elias is dead and there's nothing
you can do to bring him back.

Now we need to know
what's going on out there...

or a lot of other people are
gonna die, including her mother.

How can I be of insistence?

The Resistance must surrender
or lose their popular support.

Either way, they're on
the verge of extinction.

At the academy, one of the first
principles you learn regarding heroes...

is that they are completely
vulnerable to manipulation.

When I was at the academy
and heard you lecture...

I dreamed of serving under you.

- I remember you well.
- Do you really?

I looked so different then.

But your eyes burnt
with the same fire.

For the solitude of
permanent quarters.

- Good evening, Charles.
- Good evening.

Why, Lydia, you're working late.

Do you ever stop?

Not when we're at war.

You sent for me?

Yes, you're right on schedule.

I've been reviewing your
report on the Star-child...

and it deals almost
entirely with her mother.

Explain why that is.

Robin's DNA is very unusual.

It's very susceptible
to recombination.

Which is why I was able to crossbreed
her with Brian to create Elizabeth.

Unfortunately, I haven't been
able to find any other humans...

with the same
genetic compatibility.

I see that you received my gift.

Yes, thank you. Napoleon brandy.

A rather elegant elixir named
after one of mankind's rare geniuses.

Yes, and what happened to him?

He was left on a
scab of rock to die.

Something to ponder, Diana.

Good morning.

What's so good about it?

Don't tell me you're
one of those people...

who's a total grouch before
you've had your first cup of coffee.

My mother was like that.
Used to drive me crazy.

How can you make
jokes at a time like this?

I've got about six hours
left. What else is there to do?

To late to feel
sorry for myself now.

Tell me one thing.

Why did you do it? Why
did you switch numbers?

I guess you could call it
a serious character flaw.

Excessive ego.

All my life I've always wanted
to be first in everything I did.

For what it's worth...

you're really one of the
bravest men I've ever met.

Thank you.

What we're pulling here
is a hijack off a diversion.

Only, we're after
people, not equipment.

Speaking of which, that
disintegrator is no popgun.

No, it was truly terrible.

Remember, timing is everything.

We've got to move on before
they get a chance to use it.

Chris has rigged up a throat-mike,
so be sure to listen for my command.

Willie, you go with Kyle in the
truck. Everybody else comes with me.

- Chris, you drive the van.
- You got it.

I must not fail. If only
I had not failed Elias.

Willie, you didn't fail Elias.

- You mustn't think that way.
- He was a warrior. I am only a...

You're a warrior, too, Willie.
A different kind of warrior.

Elias is gone.

But it's up to us to
do something about it.

We know he wasn't perfect.

He took advantage of what we
went through to set himself up.

Flashy restaurant,
the whole nine yards.

But when it counted,
when the Visitors returned...

the truth was, he cared too
much to turn his back on us.

He took us in, he
gave us a place to stay.

He paid for it with his life.

If you think about it, we're all
together right now because of him.

I'd say we owe him one.

Good day, Mr. Chiang.

It's a pity Mr. Bates isn't
well enough to attend.

Mr. Bates knows what's
about to take place.

He feels no obligation
to bear witness in person.

The execution will be
televised for all to see.

We shall miss him nonetheless.

I believe you haven't had the opportunity
to see the disintegrator in operation.

I've been told it is
most impressive.

- Any word from the Resistance?
- None whatsoever.

I hope they don't disappoint us.

They won't.

At least the wait's over.

I would like to tell your friends
we got you off the hook...

but the cowards didn't
turn themselves in.

Don't call them cowards.

Let's go. Say your goodbyes.

I wish we had more time to
get to know each other better.

I can't let you go
through with this, John.

He took my number.
I'm supposed to go first.

You'll all get your turn. Right now,
my orders say he kicks things off.

How can you do this? Turn
him over to those monsters?

I'm just doing my job.

Move it.

I'll never forget you.

The important thing is to
remember why we're here...

what we stand for, and
what it means to be free.

Testing, this is Eagle One. Do you
read me? Come in, Sky Hook. Over.

This is Sky Hook, Eagle One.
We read you loud and clear. Over.

I'm a block from the target.
Any word from the Catcher?

The Catcher is
ready, all sisters go.

Just give us the word and
we're ready to roll. Over.

I'm on my way. Over and out.

I'll get the smoke grenades.

You know what to do?

You just get them
out, I'll be there.

No way we can get close
to them without being seen.

If I shoot him, those
hostages are dead meat.

We've got to take
him out. Cover me.

You stick your head out
there, it's gonna get shot off.

We can't stay here.

- Maybe I can help.
- You're not going out there.

- I can do it from here.
- Be our guest.

I think we may have
a little problem here.

On the contrary, Diana. Charles's
plan has worked to perfection.

Charles.

Here I am.

- Let him go.
- That was the bargain.

Indeed it was, Mr. Chiang.

Release him.

Mr. Donovan has
arrived to take his place.

A most courageous
gesture on your part.

We all do what we can.

It's not working.

Nothing is happening, I'm sorry.

It's okay, sweetheart.
You gave it your best shot.

Then why isn't it working?
I can't feel any energy.

You can figure that one out later.
Right now, he's our main concern.

Julie, no!

- What was that?
- Go check it out.

What's going on back there?

Out the back door. Go on.

Come on.

No, thanks. I brought my own.

Unless you have
any final requests.

No requests and no regrets.

What a way to go.

That's our cue.

Get going.

Take off!

Don't shoot.

He's mine.

That hurt.

Next time, Mr. Donovan.

How's our little
secret weapon doing?

She's fine.

My wife and I want to thank you
for what you did back there. Really.

Nobody's perfect.

Why don't you hang around? We
can always use a guy with some guts.

Not a lot of call for second-string
war correspondents nowadays.

I wouldn't say that.
