Original subtitles

Previously on V .D .N .S. If I could just stay with him. It's time that we

him the truth about who he really is. I think Tyler's ready. But he's still not

here on the ship with you. Get him.

I missed you.

I'm pregnant.

You need to tell her the truth before she finds out.

John May started the Fifth Column. The first group of visitors to ever turn

against the leadership.

Anna's birthing soldiers.

You need to stop them.

Visitors took everything I had. I don't want that to happen again.

Georgie! I left the Fifth Column!

And I think I saw a UFO.

There's no such thing as UFOs, buddy. Go back to bed.

That's okay. Go on. I love you, James.

How could you do this to your own kind?

Start a resistance.

These people are worth saving.

No. It's your human skin.

You've been wearing it too long. You got confused.

You're sick.

Bliss is a sickness.

It's mind control.

Human emotion is not sickness. It's beautiful.

Human emotion?

You betrayed us for human emotion.

Yeah. You may as well kill me now.

Because I will never.

One day you'll understand.

You can't escape, John May!

You can't escape!

Someone please lay out for me who the hell that guy is.

John May was the first V to turn against Anna.

He started the resistance.

I was with him just before he disappeared.

You knew him, Ryan. Why didn't you say... Because no one needed to know

now. Look, the bottom line is we are not leaving Georgie up there to die. The

only reason he's on that ship is because he tried to save me.

I gotta get back on that ship. But how?

It'll be impossible now. We'll do it. We'll figure it out.

How much does he know?

Where you are. Who your loved ones are.

No, I'm not saying he'll talk if he's a coward. I'm saying everyone has a

breaking point.

Everyone talks. No, not Georgie.

He'll hold on till we get him. Which is, you can park right here just spelled

out. It's impossible.

We may not be able to get back on that ship, but there may be another way to

save him.

How? Joshua.

The one who helped me embed the John May lives message. He's fifth column.

Said there's a way to contact them. Some sort of comms device.

It's encrypted and the text outdated so the V don't monitor for it anymore.

If we can get our hands on it. We can coordinate a rescue plan with the fifth

column aboard the ship. Good. First sensible thing anyone said.

Mr. Blonde.

Where's the device?

Upstate. Town called Reedsville.

Belongs to John May.

But to someone else.

His stepson.

He might be able to lead us to that divine.

Great. Let's go.

The human managed to fight off the effects of the memory chamber.

We've been unable to retrieve any useful information about who helped him embed

the message in our broadcast.

He won't give names.

Impress upon him more strongly that he has no choice in the matter.

I've already sent for the human pain expert from the Tokyo ship.

Your pregnancy.

You should be resting.

No time for that.

I need to make sure the Live Aboard program stays on track.

There are whispers of an anti -P terrorist group.

Polls show people have grown apprehensive about coming to live on the

which will affect the success of our Live Aboard program.

Get in chat, Decker.

I'll address the people directly.

I want those bodies on this ship.

Hello.

You are?

Lisa, Tyler's friend.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Evans.

Hi.

Tyler's mom didn't mention anything about you coming. Did Tyler invite you?

Actually, no. I just thought I'd check in on him.

Why did he need you to check in?

He didn't. I just thought he could use the support.

It's just, um, this situation's been a little hard, right?

I mean, since you left.

Have you had breakfast yet?

I'm sorry, wait a minute.

What did he say, exactly?

He hasn't said anything bad about you, Mr. Evans.

So you guys met?

Don't worry, Dad. I slept on the couch.

I swear.

Lisa showed up late last night and kind of surprised me.

I don't know.

It surprised me, too.

Listen,

I know you wanted to spend some time with me, but is it okay if she hangs

us?

I really like her.

Of course.

Thanks.

This is Chad Decker for WNT, bringing you an exclusive interview with the V

-High Commander, Anna.

It's good to see you again.

Thank you, Chad.

I know there have been rumors about the messages sent from our ships during my

announcement last night.

Yes.

John may live.

Can you tell us what that means?

I wish I could, Chad.

It appears it was merely a glitch in our system.

An overlay of old code from our language training program used to learn the

English language.

What's of greater interest to me are the things that are going right.

People are so excited about the Live Aboard program.

It will give us a chance before we leave to reciprocate the hospitality you have

shown us.

Later today, you will join me as I sit down with some of the invitees to answer

their questions.

I can assure you, those joining us will be treated with the utmost care and

respect. This is the last time we're going to ask.

What are the names of your co -conspirators?

Names?

Evelyn, my wife, there's a name.

We were too much shy about 12th anniversary. Here's two more.

Brian and Evan.

My two boys, six and eight.

You freaks killed them too.

Our doctors will assure that you will receive the best medical attention we

provide. I'm Dr. Maeta.

Let me explain to you how the scours operate.

It's a curious little creature.

It likes to explore every inch of the human body from the inside.

Its preference is to travel along the nerve lines.

The scour enters near the face and exits via the soft tissue.

Usually through the reproductive organs.

And remember, we are a feast.

Always.

After the John May message, we anticipate resistance members will come

hiding.

As sleeper agents embedded in key positions, you need to be ready.

Each of you has one of these in your possession.

If you notice any suspicious activity, an assistance will be deployed to your

location.

He had his job made his place.

Did you know his stepfather was a V?

No, I mean, wanted to protect his family.

Told him nothing.

This is passing time.

Yeah. You know, you could have told me they're the girlfriend. It's part of the

package. What are you talking about?

She's there?

Lisa? Yes, she showed up last night. I mean, what is the deal with her?

She seems to know all our dirty laundry. She's a peace ambassador with Tyler.

Joe, I'm sorry. I can't get into this right now. Erica, I'm having a real hard

time with this.

All these years he's been blaming himself.

He's the reason that we broke up. Because he went up and crashed his bike.

He needs to know the truth.

Move it.

Godzilla's getting nervous. Can we please not do this right now? I have to

I will call you the minute I get a chance, okay?

Always catch up to people, Erica.

You okay?

No.

I've never really told anyone this.

Tyler's 14.

He wrecked his bike, ruptured his spleen. Joe and I went in to donate

there are supposed to be certain match -ups in blood work between parents and

their kids.

Ours didn't line up.

I'm not following.

They told us that Joe wasn't Tyler's father.

But tests aren't 100 % accurate.

Doctors don't know everything.

Don't ever believe me.

If you don't have trust in a relationship, you don't have anything.

What's Tyler now?

Sometimes you have to lie to people to protect them.

Am I talking to the FBI agent or the mother?

Oh.

You're not supposed to be kicking it, are you?

Hey, honey.

Sorry to bother you at work, but I was wondering if you knew where you put Dr.

Perlman's card.

I felt the baby kicking.

Give me a call if you get a sec, okay?

Thank you.

James May?

Yeah. I'm Ryan Nichols. I was a friend of your stepfather.

Is it okay if we come in? We need to talk to you about him. The principal is

trouble. James, who is it?

Just some people that want to talk to me.

Well, honey, invite them in.

Can I talk with you a few minutes in private?

It's urgent.

You know, why don't I go put on a pot of coffee?

Right.

I might be able to help.

Hey, your friend's here.

Good to see you again.

It's been, what, a year now?

We were just about to sit down and have dinner.

I haven't eaten yet. Enjoy.

James took Red Ribbon at the science fair today.

Oh, yeah?

Salt volcano?

Cartesian diver.

Cartesian diver.

Good job, kiddo.

So how'd you two lose touch?

Our priorities shifted.

And what are your plans while you're in town?

I just came with some old friends to catch up a little.

They're coming by later, in fact.

They're eager to see John.

My family's not familiar with your gang.

Not at all?

No.

I really dwell on the past.

There's too much richness in the present.

Our pals have already planned to see you.

Counting on it.

You know how they are.

They won't leave without at least saying hello.

Tell you what, why don't we meet them out instead?

I need to subject Lillian James to a house full of guests.

Sure.

Wouldn't want to inconvenience your family now, would we?

I'm not interested in talking about what my stepdad thought, okay?

So if you're just here to, I don't know, find closure, then I can tell you what

I learned a long time ago.

You don't find any.

So what did your friends want to talk to James about?

Family matter.

Your stepfather?

I'm not sure.

Our body's pretty secretive.

You heard about the John May message that went out from the bottom of the V

ships? There's a lot of John Mays in the world.

Your stepfather started the resistance against the Vs before anybody even knew

they were here.

We're part of that resistance now.

Resistance? I thought the Vs were friendly.

You guys are insane.

So how did you guys meet?

At a restaurant.

He was one table over, and he sort of caught my eye.

That sounds romantic.

So why now?

What do you want?

John May had a comms device he used to communicate with the resistance aboard

the mothership. We need that device to contact an ally up there.

And James will run out of time.

Okay.

Maybe we can raise Morgan Kal -El on the Creomne wave projector.

Look, James, I know it's a lot to wrap your head around. You think?

Where did your stepdad keep his things?

Except in the storage unit in town.

That's harder looking at stuff everywhere.

Look, man.

I'm sure you and my stepdad were friends.

And you clearly have your whole cult fantasy thing about how swell of a guy

Mayer was. But you weren't the one he left when he killed himself.

James.

That's what I know is fake.

Have you lived here long?

No, I'm from L .A., so...

Oh, yeah? Did you go to school out there?

At UCLA?

Great football.

You like football?

Oh, yeah.

I love the Trojans.

Me too.

The only problem is, UCLA's team is the Bruins.

I meant the Bruins.

Yeah, I'm pretty good with lots of that.

Grace?

Oh, God.

Storage unit in town.

Let's move.

Are you with us?

James, are you with us?

Yeah.

The

name

you gave us isn't real.

Alex Morgan is real. Yes, she was.

He's stronger than we anticipated.

He resisted the scours.

You're going about this the wrong way.

He can lead us to the fifth column.

We have to dig deeper than the scours.

How long has she been like that for?

Why was she with me?

The bees planned her with you to watch and wait.

She wasn't human, mate.

So don't sweat her.

How well did you know my stepdad?

He meant a lot to me.

Not an answer.

You haven't been all of that, have I?

Let's slow down.

Joshua said it was here somewhere, right?

He said it was in Reesville. He didn't say it was here.

Found it.

What if it doesn't work?

We try.

But Georgie died quickly.

Hey, come on!

He's been hiding something all day. I don't trust this guy. Stop it!

It's about Georgie.

Georgie, who's up there right now.

He'll afford mistrust, guys.

Make no mistake, we will save him.

We can't lose our way every time we hit a roadblock. Get it together!

What the hell are you doing?

I don't know.

We better get out of here before it wakes up.

Here we go. There seems to be a warehouse ready.

It's a secret.

Where is it?

I saw something flying over there. Where the hell is it?

Did anybody see it?

Where is it?

Your girl with the pretty Kruger claws, did she give you something like a

promise ring, anything?

Yeah, yeah.

She gave me the watch.

Let's go. Go, go, go. Come on. Come on, go.

Have you prepared what I asked for?

Yes, it's ready when you are.

If we've learned anything, it's that emotion is weakness.

Love is the greatest flaw of human.

And our best tool to break them.

He says he misses his family.

Let's show him his family.

Since we couldn't use your memories, we've decided to show you someone

Here are the memories of the V who killed your family.

Until he tells us what we want to know.

Perfect. See?

Pretty easy, right?

Yeah. I'm thirsty.

I'm going to get some sodas.

Do you want one?

Yeah. Can I get you one?

Please.

Listen,

my dad wants me to stay a few weeks.

And I'll still see you.

I really want to see you.

And I know it sucks, but maybe this will help me and him fix this stuff.

What?

I overheard something, but I don't think I should say anything.

What is it? Just tell me.

I can't. It's not my place.

Lisa, please, just... It's okay.

I think your father's been lying to you.

About what?

I don't think he's really your dad.

Come on, that's... That's ridiculous.

I overheard him talking to your mom.

I'm sorry.

I knew I shouldn't have said that. Hey, guys, here we go.

What is it? What's wrong?

There's a weird mix -up going on here.

Lisa just said that she heard you talking to Mom and you said something

not really being my dad.

I don't know. It's crazy.

Oh, sorry.

It's true.

It can't be.

This is me and you.

You look at her.

You lied.

Wait, wait, wait.

Is this why you left mom?

No.

I couldn't trust her, Ty.

What about me?

You left me too, Dad.

What, you feel duped for raising somebody else's kid?

No. I love you, Ty.

Either way, please trust them.

You need to go talk to your mom about this.

Yeah, I will.

Ty!

When I applied to be part of Live Aboard at the Healing Center, I never thought

I'd get picked.

And... I never thought I'd get picked.

I've always thought of myself as having bad luck. But this... Why'd you think

you had bad luck?

When I was 15, I had an appendectomy, and complications left me unable to have

children. I mean, I feel blessed for everything that I have, but that family

reunion, my siblings all have big families, not a one under eight kids.

Everyone in your family?

Yes.

Siblings all have big families, not a one under eight kids.

Not a one under eight kids.

Everyone in your family?

Yes. It's huge.

Joshua. Joshua, it's Ryan.

You found it good.

Yeah, hey, listen. We have a friend that's up there. His name is Georgie

He went up there looking for me in the car.

I haven't heard anything.

Yeah, well, he's up there, okay? And I need you to find him, all right?

I will.

Keep the comms device closed.

Yeah. Bastard.

Hey.

That man changed my life.

Yeah.

Good for you.

Changed ours, too.

Now, listen to me, James.

Your stepfather didn't abandon you.

He never would have left you and your mother if he wasn't forced to.

How the hell would you know?

Because I'm the one they're forcing to leave.

So what have you been doing this last year? Looking for you.

No, I mean, what have you experienced in your time here?

You never took a drive in the middle of the night just to feel the wind in your

face? Or had a cold pint on a warm day?

Saw a woman who literally took your breath away?

See, I think you've been touched living among people.

Maybe not much, but there's a glimmer.

I can see it in your face.

You know, the humans, they have an expression they use when they realize

truly matters to them.

They said they found their true north.

Well, I found mine here, Ryan.

That woman and that boy.

What's that?

That's my suicide note.

Take a good look at that family in there, Ryan. You tell me if I'm gonna

it.

They're expecting you, John.

Ten years ago when I came to your house for dinner.

That was the day that I killed John May.

You knew.

And you didn't say anything. You knew that John May is dead.

Not just dead.

Dead at his hand.

Every single day I wish I could go back and undo what I did, but I can't.

All I can say is your stepfather lived away.

I've taken risks that you can't even imagine because of what he taught me.

This fight will be brutal beyond anything you've ever seen.

And you too.

And John May is our greatest weapon in it.

Anna ordered his death. Every single time she sees the message, John May

it's like a dagger in her eye.

The fifth column exists because of him.

He existed because of you.

You and your mother, you taught him what it's like to be human.

You taught me.

So if nothing else, I just figured that you should know the truth.

No more lies.

I feel really stupid forgetting the combination.

It happens more than you'd think.

Let's just see the...

Model number here.

The reset code is 83328 pound.

Okay, well, I'll just see myself out then.

Convinced a lot of people today to come live aboard your ships.

People like these two.

This woman comes from a family with unusually high fertility rates, but

got a bad luck streak, can't have kids. This guy, brilliant violin player, but a

total mess.

I looked into our other guests from today's story.

Same deal.

All so full of potential, but they're broken toys.

This type of person is of great interest to you.

And the question is, why?

As sophisticated as humans are, you don't see the true value in people.

You discard them.

I see their inner worth.

Every V, regardless of history or luck or circumstance, receives my care.

I'm only showing humans the same regard.

Yeah. I'm not buying it.

I don't know exactly what all this means yet, but I'm pretty sure it adds up to

something. And if I can get this far in half a day, how far do you think I could

get in a month?

What do you want?

I'll tell you what I don't want.

I don't want to be ordinary.

If you were ordinary, Mr. Decker, you wouldn't be here.

Which is exactly why I'm going to keep digging into this. And eventually, I'll

find enough to run this story.

Or you could give me a bigger one.

I can protect you.

The question is, can we keep helping each other?

I think that we'll be helping each other for some time to come.

Ryan. Yeah, I'm here. How's he doing?

He's alive and he hasn't broken yet.

Can you move him?

Everyone's being watched too closely right now.

But the live -aboard program commences in a few days. I might be able to

him onto an outbound shuttle.

Will he last that long?

Yes.

Is he conscious?

Can you talk?

Go ahead.

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

Been better.

You're off the ship. You're safe, right?

Yeah.

I'm safe.

We're all safe.

We're going to get you out of there, okay?

No.

It's what they're waiting for.

It's what they want.

Come rescue me. You won't get caught.

Georgie, listen to me.

All right? Just give us a few days. Just hang on.

Right? I don't have a few more days, Ryan.

speak to Jack.

Georgie.

Please. I need to speak to Jack, Ryan.

We're not leaving you up there, Georgie.

It's bigger than me now, Father.

No, Georgie.

Listen to me, okay? Hang on.

I'll see you around, Jack.

your son.

God bless you.

John May lives?

Georgie.

When you come down, come down easy.

Let your heart fly to the floor.

And if some...

Hey,

this is Belle. Leave a message.

Maybe it's me.

There's something I need to talk to you about when I get home.

I'm not who you think I am.

Just feel you should know the truth.

No more lying.

I always wondered why he left.

Deep down, maybe I didn't know it had to do with me.

It didn't, honey.

What did Dad tell you?

I know everything, Mom.

The tests are wrong.

The doctors were wrong. He is your dad. I promise.

I'm according to him.

I know.

How could you not tell me? Because I was scared you wouldn't believe me. And

I thought if I just kept going that somebody would tell me that it was a

mistake. Because it is. It's a mistake.

And I didn't.

I never.

I thought that I could always trust you.

You can't. You can't. I was coming home. Why should I believe you? Because it's

true. How can I believe you?

Please, Tyler.

Please.

It's not true.

George Sutton died.

The emotional trauma must have been too intense for him.

We did not get any names.

John May lives.

Trite and untrue, but even still, the message the fifth column sends seems to

have produced something of a groundswell.

Let them have this one victory.

Because I'm about to deliver them.

A thousand defeat.
