Previously, on V.

The visitors, I am V. Oh. Your prince, on the bomb that torched the Linhurst

warehouse. Aren't you at least that curious why?

It's critical that we advance our plans for you and Tyler. He'll remain on the

ship until he's no longer needed.

And then what?

Lisa's changing. If her feelings for Tyler are real, she could be a great

for us against Anna. I don't want you to move onto the ship with me. You can go.

He doesn't want to see me anymore.

We'll have to find a greater incentive for him.

Break our legs.

We've got an assault on a female visitor. She was leaving the Peace

Center when two men jumped her. I told her, Fifth Column doesn't want you here

anymore. Leave or we'll kill all of you.

I don't suspect.

Not yet, but lucky for us, she got a good look at her attackers.

Get your artists on the way down right now.

Oh, my God.

I know her.

This is my son's girlfriend.

Did you know she's a bee?

No. Does he?

I don't know.

Lisa?

Seven.

Oh, God.

Oh, sweetheart.

Lisa, I'm so sorry.

I don't understand.

Why would someone do that to me?

I don't know.

I'm gonna find out.

The men who hurt you... Did you recognize them from anywhere?

Break her leg.

Time to go down to the healing center, Joshua.

My daughter needs her mother's comfort.

And they still haven't healed Lisa's injuries.

I'll do so when I arrive.

No.

Heal her legs so she can walk.

But keep the gash and the bruises on her face until she returns to the ship.

I want the whole world to see what the fifth column has done to my daughter.

The picture is worth a thousand words.

The FBI has released sketches of two men suspected of assaulting the visitor

last night.

Authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying the two men who left

her for dead. Anybody with any information regarding... Okay.

See this?

At this time, the visitors have released no information on the victim or her

condition. All we've been told is that visitor High Commander Anna... Going to

come out and address the American people.

Following the alleged assault against one of our clients this morning.

The first you hearing this?

Yeah. I thought you were the voice of the V.

What happened?

Anna fire you?

Looks like we're going to have a full house this morning.

Morning Mass doesn't start for another hour.

There was an attack on one of the visitors last night. They're praying for

V's soul.

Our parishioners spend more time praying for the visitors' souls than they do

their own.

That's troubling to you. Jack, speak to them. They're looking to connect to you.

Well, they're listening, Father Travis.

They've become so dependent on the visitors.

Jack, don't let your own concerns blind you to the needs of your parishioners.

They found room in their hearts for the visitors.

We try to find room in your heart as well.

Evans.

I pulled some mug shots based on the description of our sketch artist.

One of them's our old friend, Hobbs.

I have some mug shots to show you.

Are these the men who attacked you?

It's okay.

Take your time.

Look carefully.

Yes.

Lisa, are you sure?

Mother. Lisa.

What have they done to my daughter?

Sweetheart.

You're gonna be okay.

Most people have embraced us, welcomed us.

It's astonishing to me that the fifth column could cause so much pain.

There are so many people.

There are some twisted people in our world.

Fortunately, the majority of humans are kind, good -hearted.

This is why I never wanted to make Lisa's identity public.

I was worried she would become a target. This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Lisa identified two men.

Have you ever seen either of these men before?

No.

Lisa was on her way to see your son when it happened to Tyler no Yes, I called

and told him he's very upset Lisa's grown very fond of him

He's lucky he wasn't with her when this happened Yes, he

is he's very lucky as a mother I'm sure you can imagine how I feel right now

as a mother I know

That if someone tried to hurt my son, there's nothing I wouldn't do to stop

them.

Then I'm sure you'll do whatever you can to find who did this before they hurt

someone else's child.

I will.

You can count on it.

Erica says Letha identified you as one of her attackers.

Your faith is all over the news.

which is the last thing we need right now.

No picnic for me either, mate.

Well, this is the second time the visitors framed you for something you

do. Anything you want to tell us?

I've got no idea what the visitors want from me, okay?

But I'm starting to think it might have something to do with this other guy. His

name's Parker.

Why him?

Four weeks ago, before the visitors framed me for the first time, someone

me to kill him.

Our suspects in this morning's attack are Lawrence Parker and Kyle Hobbs.

Lawrence Parker is a weapons engineer.

Did time as a CIA analyst in Beijing. He works for Dorset System Labs.

Parker went missing four weeks ago.

He has access to top secret intelligence.

You talked to Dorset. Did he take any of his weapons research with him? Dorset

Labs says no.

No. Hobbs is the key. He wouldn't be involved in a simple assault that

match his MO.

I suggest it's all part of a larger plan that he has.

And I suggest we find Kyle Hobbs.

Hold on.

We've been looking for Hobbs for weeks. No luck.

Lawrence Parker is a civilian.

He's a weak link.

We go for Parker, we find him, we get a shot at Hobbs.

Evans?

You better be right. We focus on Parker.

And move it.

Do you want to hear more about Lisa?

I mean, they wouldn't let me into the healing center. Yeah, I do. She's going

be okay.

I should have told you that she was a visitor.

Yeah.

You kind of skipped that part.

You want to find the people who did this, right?

I will do everything that I can.

Hey, you want to see her?

Tyler, I didn't want you to see me like this.

I needed to see you.

I need to know that you were okay.

Agent Evans.

I believe we have some friends in common.

Fifth column.

You've spoken on the comms device.

Joshua.

It's there to talk.

For a moment, listen to me carefully.

The two men Lisa identified as her assailants are innocent.

Anna did this to her.

Anna did this to her own daughter?

Why?

I don't know.

But the two men she identified have answers.

You need to find them.

Before Anna does.

I didn't mean the things that I said to you yesterday.

About not wanting to see you.

I do.

Then why did you say them?

I was confused.

I was scared.

I've never had feelings like this for someone before.

Neither have I.

Is he in danger?

At first, Tyler was just an assignment.

But now I believe that our feelings for him are real.

I don't think that she'd hurt him.

We have time.

Marcus. Hey.

What's going on? Why can't I reach Anna? I'm sorry, Mr. Decker. She's been

indisposed. Indisposed?

A visitor being attacked is a delicate story. You're going to need my help to

control it.

Thank you, Mr. Decker, but we already have an under control.

Look at the cameras. Don't make eye contact with anyone.

Why not?

Unless you give them the more they want.

Anna! Why are we cutting Mr. Decker off from us? We'll bring him back when the

timing is right. Hey!

Anna!

Anna!

I come to you today with a heavy heart.

A terrible hate crime has been committed against one of my people.

Members of a terrorist group, the Fifth Column, have brutally assaulted a member

of my family, my own daughter, Lisa.

Despite our best efforts to demonstrate our care and concern for the human race,

to improve life on your planet, to share our resources and technology,

asking for nothing in return, there are those among you who

wish to harm us.

In the wake of yesterday's shuttle disaster and this brutal assault on my

daughter,

My people no longer feel safe here, so I have come to a decision

We are leaving

Anna's lying. They never leave it. Then why make the announcement?

Oh, it's a theater.

Got the boo -hoo, the attack on the princess.

She's putting on a show.

Hobbs is right.

Anna could have healed Lisa's wounds.

But instead she left them for the world to see.

The question is why?

What is her interest in you and Parker?

I don't know.

Well, we need to find out.

Joshua said that Anna is the one who beat Lisa. Slashed her face. She broke

leg. Wait, Anna did that? Yes.

How could she do that to her own daughter? Because she's not human, she's

visitor. There's nothing that she won't do to get what she wants.

Whatever Parker knows is important enough to Anna that she would hurt her

child to engage our sympathies. And also get the FBI to help find him. Yeah.

We want answers, we find Parker.

Or we could ask your son.

You said they have a thing going.

Maybe the lizard prince has told them something that could help us.

No.

I will not bring Tyler into this. I will not use him.

Reconsider this, Erica.

I kept the truth from Bal. Look where it's gotten me.

Anna's already using Tyler in this war.

Bringing him in may be the best way to protect him. You saw what she did to her

kid. If she's capable of that, imagine what she could do to your son.

Use your contacts to find Parker. Ryan and Jack will follow up on your lead.

You're public enemy number one, Hobbs. You got cojones showing your face around

here. Framed me once, shame on you. Framed me twice, shame on me.

Four weeks ago, someone hired me to kill Parker.

My employee didn't check out. Fake name, fake social. Didn't park the smell

test. Figured something wasn't kosher. Yeah, you were right. Tried to track

the guy who hired you, but I couldn't.

I was lucky with Parker.

He's been holed up in a Chinatown walk -up since he went missing.

You able to find out what he was working on at the doors that kicked him? No, no

luck. Well, whatever it is, the visitors, the FBI, they want it bad.

And now they're framing us for the assault on a kid.

What are you going to do?

Get my hands on it before they do.

Hey. Took my contacts longer than I thought, but finally they got a 411 on

Parker. Where?

Chinatown.

Apartment across the street from the J kitchen on Pell.

Apartment 3.

Good work.

My pleasure.

Mr. Decker.

I need to see Anna right now.

Why isn't she returning my calls?

I'm sorry, Chad.

But dealing with the attack of her daughter and coordinating her withdrawal

your planet has left her little time for anything else.

You're not really leaving.

I don't believe that.

Unfortunately, we have no choice.

The fifth column is too much of a threat.

Well, maybe I can help.

I wish you could, but you're just a journalist.

You're underestimating my influence, Marcus.

My audience listens to me. I could reach out to them. I could have them put

pressure on our government to go after the fifth column and help keep you here.

Your job is to report the news, Mr. Decker.

Not to editorialize.

Speaking out on the air could cost you that job.

Are you really willing to take that risk?

As you predicted, Mr. Decker is concerned about her leaving.

Good. I need him to be desperate.

To be convincing.

He's always done as you asked. Why does he need convincing?

It's not Chad who needs convincing. It's his audience.

And only he can speak to them.

His fear of losing us will fuel his passion.

That passion will generate a public outcry.

And we'll get what we want.

Tell the captain of the Shanghai ship to leave.

Immediately.

Just minutes ago, the first ship left Shanghai, China, the first in Anna's

planned week -long withdrawal and shutdown of all these services, sending

of protest and outcry across the world. London, Moscow, Rio, people everywhere

reacting to the fact that when they leave, the visitors will take with them

their many gifts to humanity.

It is my job to report the news objectively.

However, today, I can't sit back and pretend I don't have an opinion because

do. The V saved my life.

We, the people, must fix this.

If you care about your future, the health of your children, a world made

and peaceful by technology, now is the time. Let your voice be heard.

Show the world how much Anna means to you.

Show our elected officials that you want Anna and the visitors to stay.

Hopps says Parker's bunking in that walker. Keep your eyes open.

Ryan, you've been different since Val left.

I remember John May saying that human emotion was a good thing. It was worth

fighting for, but I don't think it was right anymore.

Val has changed me.

She allowed me to see the beauty in humanity.

It was her love that... Enable me to fight off endless bliss.

But without her, I just don't think I can do it anymore.

None of us knows if we can.

But with faith, we can.

And with faith, we do.

That's all you can do, Ryan. That's all any of us can do.

Hey. Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

That's Parker.

Okay. I'm going to go check it out. Cover front and back for people.

Okay.

Be careful, okay?

Parker?

FBI.

Look, I know you're scared.

I want to help you.

Hey.

America.

Whatever the visitors are saying I did, I didn't. I'm innocent.

I believe you, but if you're innocent, why are you running?

Because whoever's after me found me.

Someone broke into my hard drive and stole all my research.

I need to find a better place to hide.

You disappeared four weeks ago. Why?

Because someone came after me.

I thought it was related to the work I was doing.

You think it could have been the V's?

They must have had some reason to have framed you.

Why would they be interested in me?

What were you doing for Dorsey?

Myself and a few of my colleagues, we run an informal online think tank.

And?

We've been working on an organic compound to reduce carbon emissions,

global warming, but it didn't work. We had some problematic side effects.

What were the side effects?

Algae.

An infected marine life caught a virus on the skin of fish, turtles, other

amphibians. That's why we abandoned the project. What about reptiles, lizards?

Possibly.

Was the virus deadly?

Well, potentially, yes. That's why we stopped.

Okay. Dr. Parker, this is really important.

How much of this compound still exists? Do you have the formula for it?

Well, yes, but I only worked on one component of the project. We all worked

separately in case our work was compromised. That way it would be

without us.

My research is gone. Whoever took the hard drive has it.

Get out of there. The FBI's here.

Okay, you and Ryan leave now. Go.

I'll figure it out.

All right, Larry.

I need to know the names of the people you were working with, your think tank.

All right.

I am going to do everything in my power to help you. And I'm sorry.

This is going to hurt a little bit.

Hey.

I was just about to call for backup.

What are you doing here?

We got a tip from the restaurant owner across the street that Parker's been in

and out of this place for weeks. What are you doing here? I got the same tip.

Nice work, Evans.

Lawrence Parker, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of the visitor

known as Lisa.

I just got off the phone with Washington.

The visitors aren't going anywhere.

Now, the government offered them our help in stopping Fifth Column. They will

share their technology with us, and in return, we will share our intel on

terrorists with them. I don't think that's a good idea, Paul. Do you?

It doesn't really matter what I think, Erica.

This goes all the way up to the President.

I have been instructed to form a joint task force, and we will work together

with the visitors to eradicate Fifth Column.

Also, effective immediately, any suspects with chargeable cases will be

to the V's for questioning before trial, starting with our friend Mr. Parker

there.

I just ran a search on all the scientists in Parker's think tank. All

were reported missing.

Anna's got to be.

Parker's the only missing piece of the puzzle. She's about to get to him, too.

She can't.

We lose Parker, we lose our only chance to recover his research.

And whatever the visitors are so afraid of. We still have a shot.

Lisa is on her way down to identify Parker.

Maybe I can get through to her. Eric, are you sure about this?

He's manipulating Lisa, using her.

Might put you on Anna's radar. Quick, put Tyler out ready.

If she's going to use my son, then I'm sure as hell going to use her daughter.

They're here.

May I speak with Lisa for a moment?

Confronting one's attacker can be very unsettling. I would like to prep her

first.

Of course.

Thank you.

I

want

you to have this.

What's this for?

I want you to take it into the lineup with you.

Why?

Holding on to something that makes you feel safe gives you strength.

Try me.

Listen to me very carefully.

This man's fate and a whole lot more relies upon your telling the truth about

who hurt you.

You cannot condemn an innocent man.

You need to be 100 % sure.

Mrs. Evans.

What I thought about those two meds.

It's time, my daughter.

Remember, see them, they can't see you.

Okay?

Take your time and remember what we talked about.

I'm here.

There's nothing to fear.

Ni moi.

Are you sure?

Huh.

Thank you, Agent Evans.

You have no idea how much it means to me.

Of course.

What will you do with him?

Question him about his collaborators.

Hopefully he'll lead us to his accomplice, Kyle Hobbs, and other fifth

I want you to know that I'm going to make stopping the fifth column my top

priority.

Then I'm sure we'll cross the house again soon.

I'm not going anywhere, Anna.

As of this evening, neither am I.

Apparently you've been looking for me.

But surprise, surprise, looks like I've found what you're really looking for.

I've got pockets of research.

Question is, how much is it worth to you?

Protests turning to celebration tonight as New York City residents rejoice in

Anna's decision to stay. Many citing that heartfelt public appeal by reporter

Chad Decker as being a key element in driving public sentiment.

I've been trying to reach you all day.

I'm sorry, Chad.

I've had other things on my mind today besides Chad Decker.

Your report created quite an uproar.

Thanks to you, we're staying.

You shut me out purposefully today to get me to make a plea.

To push public opinion, to rally for you to stay.

Didn't you?

My only interest is the protection of my people.

Thankfully, your government agreed to help ensure their safety.

I was hoping maybe you could help me too.

How?

I need to stop the fifth column.

You can start by giving me the name of your source.

The one that tipped you off about the shuttle crash.

That would be a breach of my ethics as a journalist.

You've crossed that line once today.

Crossing the second time shouldn't be that difficult.

I'm only looking out for what's best for both of us.

Something's off with you.

And that worries me. Yeah?

Since when do you worry about anyone else but yourself?

My only worry is that you stay focused on your guy.

Anything less could get us killed.

I'm on the game.

You stay on it.

Ryan.

When special ops soldiers go to war, they don't carry any family mementos, no

photos, nothing. You know why?

Because they can be taken from you and used against you.

With these here, you were at heart.

You fell in love.

And now she's gone.

And that pain you're feeling, those human emotions, they will use them

you.

And in war, emotions can get you killed.

Bury them.

Leave your feelings for her behind.

Burn any trace of them out of your heart.

The eggs are about to hatch.

My army will be born soon.

You did an excellent job today with the FBI.

And with Tyler.

As head of the fifth column task force, Tyler's mother is our most important

asset against the fifth column.

I will keep her close.

Make her believe, like Tyler, that my feelings for her are real.

Good.

If my mother's eggs are allowed to hatch, those soldiers will destroy the

column, won't they?

Federal authorities announced the arrest tonight of a suspect in the assault on

High Commander Anna's daughter.

The suspect, Lawrence Parker, was taken into custody in Chinatown by the fifth

column task force.

led by ancient Erica Evans of the FBI.

Parker, a weapons designer for Dorset Systems Labs in Westchester, disappeared

weeks ago and emerged just this morning as one of two suspects in the attack.

The suspect in the assault on high command... That's all I heard.

It meant for me.

That guy, Parker, you called him and you put him away.

That means a lot.

Thanks, Mark.

And I just want to make sure that you're okay

with me dating a V.

It's a little weird, not gonna lie.

I'll deal.

Hi. Wait.

I was wrong about the visitors.

You were right.

I'd like to get to know Lisa better and Anna too.

If that's okay with you.

Yeah, it's okay.

I like that.

The fleets you sent from our home planet will enter the solar system soon.

It won't be long until they'll be within human radar range.

We'll piggyback our software into their law enforcement and military computers.

Disable their radar so they can't detect our ship.

They'll see what we want them to see, nothing more.

Fear of the fifth column is spreading like wildfire throughout the 29 ships.

I've never seen such worry in them.

They just need their queen to assuage their fears.

Take comfort knowing I am here.

There is nothing to fear.

We will remain among humans.

But the fifth column will never harm you.

The past is gone.

No looming fate.

No uncontrollable destiny.

No fear.

No looking back.

my light take comfort knowing I am here

protecting you from harm you are not alone

you will never be alone

Gutsy move, showing her face in public, Mr. Holmes?

That's to stop me from killing you.

Because I've got Parker's research.

And you wouldn't be here if that didn't frighten the hell out of you.

Where is it?

It's not here.

Somewhere safe.

Unless, of course, I don't get what I want.

I want that research.

Then you can have it, Chief.

And all for the low, low price of everything the visitors have on me.

Clean slate.

And one hell of a big pile of dollars.

Deal?
