Previously on V. How many times have I warned you? Your hatred would cost you

your faith. The hostage has now been identified as Erica Evans.

I have no illusions that I'm going to walk out of here alive.

But you and John Fierro must.

You want me to leave. Prove me right about Erica Evans. You betrayed your

friends. I can never forgive you. I have an assignment for you from Anna. Bring

this within 100 yards of Eli Cone's building.

You would have stopped the fifth Cone. Then maybe Dad would be alive.

I can't tell you how sorry I am about your father's death.

Thomas tells me you've adapted nicely to life on the mothership. That you've

embraced the pilot training program.

Yeah. Everything's been great up here.

Thank you.

Before one can begin deep space flight, all pilots must take one final physical

examination. A formality, of course.

It all starts here.

The examination will assess Tyler's DNA to assure that he's medically ready.

Have Joshua report back with the results immediately.

Yes, my queen.

Finally, everything's falling into place.

Eli Cohn and the fifth column have been obliterated. Marcus will recover from

his injuries.

Concordia moves forward.

Since the landing sites for our breeding ship can begin construction and with

Tyler aboard, we can begin the next phase of interbreeding.

Roger didn't bring a hat box.

Don't worry, I won't crowd your closet space.

I'll leave plenty of room for all your cool black T -shirts.

Look, Hobbs, thanks for the offer to let me stay here.

It's only temporary until I can find a place.

You know, 12 years in the church, my whole life fits into two duffel bags.

What's the over -under on you two killing each other within the week?

Erica, I'm trying to reach you.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Thanks.

Have you talked to Tyler?

Not since Joe's funeral. He's on the ship. He won't return my calls.

I don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry.

Who the hell is that?

That is Fiero, Eli's man. I asked him to meet us here.

You gave him my address?

We need to trust this guy.

He is our only conduit in the army. We need to take Anna down. You are still on

bereavement leave.

Are you sure you're ready to jump back into this? Anna wants a war.

I'm going to give her one. Let him in.

John Fierro, this is Kyle Hobbs, Jack Landry, my top lieutenant.

Good to meet you.

Well, I walked through fire with Eli.

If he trusted you, then so do I.

I'm glad to hear it, because I am ready to assume leadership of the fifth

column, as Eli requested.

There's a small group of trusted lieutenants from around the world.

Eli relied on them.

In the wake of his death, they're gathering in Bangkok to strategize.

You need to be there.

Fake IDs have gotten me in and out of the East at time or two.

I guess we're going to Bangkok.

How do we get started?

His vitals are excellent, but his phosphorus levels are not as high as

to be.

Red rain should have infused him with more than enough phosphorus for

interbreeding. Every human's biology is unique.

Tyler's body appears to be rejecting the surge of phosphorus.

Administer a concentrated dose to him.

I cannot guarantee Tyler will absorb enough to make him viable.

We may have to alter our plans.

Have the backup candidates been tested?

Raphael, a young man from Bartholomew. He is our most promising.

I arranged for Raphael to visit with Lisa.

What if she rejects him?

Lisa will breed with whomever I tell her to.

Tyler, you're going to be a great pilot.

Really? I passed my physical.

Yes.

In fact, Thomas says you're ready for your first overnight flight.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Go get ready. Tyler, I'm counting on you.

It'll be easier to explore Raphael's potential with him out of the way.

Administer the phosphorus injection to Tyler and see how he responds.

And if his levels remain low?

Then unfortunately for him, he's no longer of use to us.

We respected Eli, but his decision to hand over leadership is unilateral and

unnecessary. We already have many plans in motion, Agent Evans, including a

threat to avenge Gila's death.

The suicide bombings, the attacks against innocent humans.

We've thrown pebbles at a giant.

I told you this was a waste of time. Stop.

If we are going to defeat the Beads, we need to change tactics.

Eli died at the hands of the visitors because his plan didn't.

We're going to bring this war to Anna.

I have contacts on her ship.

Access that you don't have, that you will never have.

Eli chose her to lead.

We owe it to him to give her a chance.

Present us with a plan.

If you do not, leadership will pass to someone who's already proven their

Tyler's very excited about the pilot trainee program.

He leaves on his first overnight trip tonight.

All of your plans are coming together.

Tyler hasn't spoken to his mother in over a week.

We are finally becoming his family.

In the meantime, I have an assignment for you.

While Tyler is away, you'll meet a young man named Raphael.

I want you to entertain him.

But what about Tyler?

If he senses my disloyalty to him, it could upset everything.

My plans for Tyler are none of your concern.

You will entertain Raphael.

Don't question me again.

Hi, how'd the meeting go?

Eli Cohen's lieutenants don't think I have what it takes to lead them.

We fought this war on our own before, Erica.

It's bigger than it's now, Jack.

If we're going to defeat Anna, we need an army to do it.

How do we do that?

We start by asking the big question.

Why are the visitors here?

If we know what Anna wants, we'll know how to stop her.

Well, we know they want us for breeding.

But we don't know what that actually means.

The liveaboards.

When I interviewed Anna last week, she said that the next batch of liver boards

to come up will be the last.

If Anna's stopping liver boards... It means she got whatever she needed.

Question is what?

There might be someone on the ship who can help us find out.

Anna's daughter, Lisa.

She's a friend.

And his daughter is working against her?

Anna can never find out.

Get to Lisa.

Tell her I sent you.

Sid, where are you on the DNA research?

I reached out to the global scientific community.

And? Seems there were cases of other boys with part of their DNA missing, but

far all the ones I found died as infants.

Keep looking.

We need to find everything we can about those other boys.

What did Eli tell you about his son's death?

Well, he had me investigate it.

So I started with the doctor who delivered him.

Abner Nizani. You have LeFran Nizani? He's dead.

But I kept digging.

Looked into his practice.

Turns out all the babies delivered 18 years ago, an unusually high number of

them died.

The cause of death was listed as sudden infant death syndrome.

It's possible that those babies died because their DNA was messed with.

They wouldn't have thought to check for that.

I found a common link between the babies who died.

All their mothers suffered from preeclampsia.

Many of the mothers also were treated by the same specialist, Dr. Vinari.

I know her.

She treated me. I looked everywhere for her.

But you couldn't find her? No. How did you know that? I couldn't either. But I

reached out.

I enlisted help from Eli's contacts around the world. Any luck?

Yeah. There's a cop in Hong Kong who thinks he's found Dr. Rai.

If it is Rai, she might know what the visitors did to those boys and why.

I want to talk to Dr. Rai.

We're going to Hong Kong.

Leave us.

Rafael is en route from Barcelona as you requested.

According to his file, his phosphorus levels are ideal.

Joshua, you're one of my most trusted advisors.

What I'm about to ask you requires the utmost discretion.

I'm beginning to sense a weakness in Lisa.

It's possible she's experiencing human emotions.

I do to help my queen?

Lie to her.

Tell her your memory is returning.

That you recall what it's like to experience human emotions.

Whatever she says or does, report to me directly.

It's taken a week for you to decide you can trust me.

I would have come sooner, but my mother watches my every move.

You're under a great deal of pressure as future queen.

What's troubling you, my dear?

A while ago, my mother instructed me to get close to a boy named Tyler.

Now she's ordered I get close to someone else.

Why would she do that?

Another boy.

Anna must be changing her plans.

You care for this boy Tyler, don't you?

No. Our species is not supposed to have human emotion.

Embrace them, Lisa.

I had to learn the hard way.

Emotions can give you power, unlike anything else.

If my mother ever knew, she'd... Throw you down here like she did me.

That's why she can never know that you have feelings for Tyler.

For any human being.

What about the other boy?

I don't want to be with him.

You shouldn't have to, Lisa.

But you must protect yourself.

You must convince Anna that you are the loyal and obedient daughter she expects

you to be.

Your safety and our survival depend on it.

Chad Decker, WNT News.

Yes, my mother speaks very highly of you.

I've been meaning to talk to Anna about doing an exclusive interview with you.

What it's like being the V -first daughter.

It'd be a great piece.

Whatever my mother wants.

Erica Evans says you might be able to help me.

And why would Mrs. Evans say that?

Because I'm working with her.

I don't know what you mean.

I know the truth, Lisa.

You helped Erica destroy Anna's soldier eggs.

You want to stop your mother.

Just like I do.

What do you want from me?

I know the liveaboards have been tortured.

You need to help us find out why.

Lives depend on it, Lisa.

Please.

Lisa, may I have a word?

Joshua, what are you doing here?

As you know, when I was shot, my memory was wiped clean.

Lately, some of it has started to return.

I only remember fragments, but I do remember being fifth column

and feeling human emotion.

These memories seem so real.

I talk about them and I remember that I once did.

With you.

Obviously you remember wrong.

Are you kidding?

Hong Kong cops never heard of a donut shop.

She can feed her a delicacy.

P .L. told us that you tracked down someone Eli was looking for.

Dr. Vina Rai.

Is this who you're looking for?

That's her.

She took a long time to find.

She's living under an assumed name here from Hong Kong.

Maybe we should pay her a visit.

Rai lives in a highly secure building.

The police are wired into apartment security, so I could give you access,

can't shut the system down.

I can.

Hack is my specialty.

Well, it's one specialty, anyway.

You only have a very short window. The system does internal checks every 15

minutes. Sounds an alarm if anything is amiss.

Just get us in. We need to find out what Rai did to my son.

The Hong Kong city will never know we were there.

Everything is clear. I'm going to check the warehouse.

All right, we're in.

Yeah. Erica, we've tapped in. The monitors will now go on a loop. You've

minutes before the system automatically reboots.

I know how we pull.

Good to go.

Now.

Let's go.

Who do you think you are?

I trusted you. Who are you people? You treated me, me and my baby, 18 years

You were supposed to take care of us. You're making a mistake. I don't know

you are.

Please.

Get her hands.

No. No.

No.

She's living.

Let me be very clear.

I am going to skin you slowly from neck to tail until you tell me everything

that you did to my son.

I'm going to keep you alive so that you feel every cut.

Tell me where your safe is.

Where?

Where?

The bedroom.

We've got to move.

There.

Oh, not that one, sweetheart. The living space.

We've got to move.

Okay, I need tools.

Power drill, flashlight, whatever you can find.

All right, come to me here soon.

Blacklight! I've done the drill.

I'm going to raise the pressure on the inside to the cloud that is on the

outside. The trick is not blowing up the contents of the process.

Pretty quick to slice and dice back there, Agent Evans.

Agent O 'Roy was a lizard.

I didn't.

I like this near you.

That's very Mission Impossible.

That cord.

I never leave home without it.

Good thing.

You got that flashlight?

Yeah.

Your hands are small.

Yeah. That's jamming to them. Obviously.

Now, kick down, kick down. All the way in. Yeah, I got it. Kick down. Just like

half and it's exposed.

Okay, that's good. That's it.

I'll tell you from here.

the hell did I do a bad one in that, Dave?

Go.

Jack, hear me out.

Okay. What are you going to say, Ryan, huh?

You lied to us. You betrayed us.

I never gave your name to Anna.

Your actions killed dozens of people.

Erica's ex -husband is dead because of you. You don't think I know that?

Anna had my baby, Jack.

Yeah, okay, I made a mistake, but there was nothing else that I could do.

No, Ryan, you could have told us the truth. We didn't even know you survived

bombing.

I have to get my baby away from Anna.

I need her.

You know, of all the people, I thought you would be the one that understands.

Everybody needs a second chance.

I'm not a priest anymore, Ryan.

It's not my job to absolve you.

I visited the same cities over and over for 19 years.

There's 29 boys here.

In 29 cities.

This one has a mothership parked over them.

They're there because of those boys.

Oh, my God.

Tyler's not the only one.

He better has others. That means that Tyler, my son, is expendable.

We'll figure it out, Erica.

We'll figure it out. We'll stop it.

And we'll keep Tyler safe.

Any idea what these are?

Prenatal vitamins.

I took those when I was pregnant.

What? Why would a doctor keep prenatal vitamins in his safe?

They wouldn't, unless they were trying to hide something.

Welcome back.

I thought you were done with the priest routine.

Well, it doesn't work like that.

Wherever I walk, you walk. Try to keep him contained to your corner, all right?

Why? Are you afraid of what he's going to find on the earth?

So, uh, how'd it go in Hong Kong?

We found prenatal pills with the creaky metal bugs inside them.

Stein's boy's taking a look.

Also, seems that...

Erica's kid isn't the only one that Anna is keeping her eye on.

There are 28 more.

Really?

Erica.

We'll be right there.

Chad Decker.

Chad.

I found out why my mother wanted the liver boards.

I'm sending you information that will explain it all.

Come here, look at this.

They must have programmed these things to go after DNA with a Y chromosome.

That's why the pregnant mothers and baby girls weren't affected.

Okay, so we know what the V's did and how they did it, but we still don't know

why. They created empty space inside the DNA to put something in. But what? I

think I might know.

At least it came through.

She downloaded the liver board medical file.

Anna isn't choosing these liver boards randomly.

She's inviting people up to the ship who are exceptional, genetically

exceptional.

High fertility, elevated immunity, longevity.

In this part, gene extraction complete.

And those diets must be when they put the liver boards under the needle

She's stealing DNA from the liver board. She's not just stealing any DNA. She is

harvesting the best of the best.

I mean, definitely not awesome, but it explains something that's been driving

crazy.

All right.

Look, this is from Alpha, the V skeleton I found. His DNA is 100 times more

complex than normal DNA.

But then there's this. This is Malik's DNA. It's 1 ,000 times more complex than

Alpha's. Weird, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so? The genetic evolution from Alpha to Malik should have taken 5 ,000

years. The Vs did it in 50.

Give it to us in English, Einstein.

This explains why the bees didn't just annihilate us.

They need us alive.

They're stealing the best of our DNA.

They're using us to fast -track their own evolution.

Raphael has arrived.

Did you approach Lisa like I asked?

I did.

She gave no indication she's ever felt human emotion.

She could be testing you.

You may be right.

I saw Lisa looking through medical files.

What files?

I don't know.

She does not know that I saw her.

I was told this is

where I could find Lisa.

You must be Raphael.

I didn't know you had arrived.

Yes, a short time ago.

This ship, it is quite impressive.

We've only seen a small part.

Once they show you the rest, you'll never want to leave.

You're very handsome.

Why did you send him away?

You directly disobeyed my orders.

I am tired of being told what to do.

I demand you tell me what your plan is for me.

How dare you talk to me like that?

You want to strike me, don't you?

I do.

Then what's stopping you?

It's your breeding skin fueling the aggression you need to become queen.

But you're not queen yet.

And until you are, you will do as I tell you.

The problem with Lisa may be more serious than I first thought.

We cannot proceed with interbreeding without Lisa.

There's something I need to show you.

Queen Egg.

I had it preserved.

The last of my clutch.

If Lisa proves disloyal, she can be replaced.

This egg is my only alternate to interbreeding.

The very survival of our species may depend on it. Can you hatch it safely?

Yes. Then begin the process immediately.

But it will take years for the new queen to reach reproductive maturity.

Our accelerated growth experiments have not proven successful.

Then run more.

The children from your final clutch have all matured. The only option would

be... A hybrid baby.

At birth, she did appear more visitor than human.

Our skin, our tail, our claws.

Do it.

Such experimentation could result in the hybrid's death.

Then she'll die serving her queen.

It's possible the visitors have been doing this all across the universe.

Consuming the best of every life form they encounter to create a superior,

master species.

Now they're doing it here on Earth.

And these boys fit in how?

Each of the 29 boys is missing a part of their DNA.

There's a void. We believe that the V's plan to fill that void using a mixture

of the genes they have stolen.

What happens after the uncertainty DNA?

I'll find out.

In just two days, working with my team, I have uncovered a vital part of the V's

plan. Imagine what I could do with an army. What you've discovered is most

impressive.

What's next?

Before I tell you, I need to know that you trust me, unequivocally, as leader

the fifth column.

Anna is about to welcome the final group of liveaboards onto the ship. We

suspect that once she gets their DNA, she'll have what she needs to move on to

the next part of her plan.

We're going to stop that from happening.

Tyler has proven to be quite a capable pilot.

Good.

Joshua, check Tyler's phosphorus levels immediately.

I'm so hopeful we can move forward with him.

How did Lisa respond to Raphael?

Not as well as I would have liked.

I convinced him to stay on the ship for now, however least I must be dealt with.

Joshua, how are we progressing with my backup plan?

We've initiated the experimentation as you requested.

Perhaps you'd like to see the results for yourself.

Hybrid survived the aging experiment. However, there was an unforeseen side

effect. Her maturation has strengthened her immune system.

Her body seems to have healed itself of its chronic pain. That means we no

longer have leverage of Ryan Nichols.

Where's my daughter?

Welcome back, Ryan.

Eli Cohn is dead, and the fifth column have been neutralized as a threat.

As a reward, you get to spend a few hours with your daughter.

Thank you, my queen.

Excellent work, Joshua.

Ryan's cover had been compromised within fifth column.

He's no longer of any use to us.

Arrange to have him eliminated.

Quietly.

Man, there's nothing like that. I mean, nothing.

Tyler.

I missed you. I missed you, too.

But I have to go take a shower because Thomas is going to teach me how to

download my flight report.

Tyler.

You can't keep running away from me. What are you talking about?

I know you're holding in your emotion.

Your father just died.

It's okay to be sad.

To feel.

You don't get it, Lisa.

I don't want to feel anything anymore.

I just want to be a shuttle pilot and forget about my past.

I do care about Tyler.

He's the one I want to be with.

I'm no longer sure he wants to be with me.

I'm sure you will figure it out, my dear.

I will help you.

I am so grateful that I found you.

You're the only one that understands what I'm going through.

I learned a long time ago what you have already seen.

And what your mother refuses to recognize.

The good in human emotion.

Tyler used to care. He used to feel.

Now I'm no longer sure.

I disobeyed her today.

I couldn't control my emotion.

Now I'm worried she suspects I've changed.

You're on very dangerous territory, my dear.

Your mother must affect nothing.

Trust no one on the ship.

No one but me.

And you must keep my presence a secret.

I won't tell anyone.

I promise.

I know you are afraid, my dear.

But everything will be okay.

Why are you doing this?

Because your mother never did.

What's this?

I'm all alone up here.

So we can always be in touch and not risk my mother finding out.

Tonight we ask, how would you do it? On a special edition of What Would You Do?

Starting now.

We had a mission with a ticking clock. I took the shot because I couldn't miss

failure. On the next all -new V.

If we're going to win this war, then I need to stick a dagger into the heart of

Anna's plant.

Ryan needs to escape the ship without anyone knowing. Any enemy of my daughter

is a friend of mine.

Lisa, you will meet the same fate as any traitor.

Death.

ABC's V, all new next Tuesday at 9, 8 central on ABC.
