V s01e05 Episode Script

Welcome to the War

Previously on V: My name is Anna.
We are of peace.
Always.
Nothing can take away from the excitement as we open our doors to a nation from beyond our imagination.
They're calling themselves the Visitors.
The Visitors didn't just get here.
They've been here for years.
They disguised their appearance by cloning human flesh over their own reptilian skin.
They'll take over unless we can stop them.
My partner was one of them.
Anyone could be a Visitor.
- They are animals.
- No, not all of them.
There's others like me.
They're called the Fifth Column.
We'll help.
It's really important to me that you don't get involved with the Visitors.
I joined the Peace Ambassadors.
If my mom knew, she'd go ballistic.
Tyler's the one.
We should use him.
- You're doing an excellent job.
- Thank you, Mother.
Bring him up to the ship.
Tell him I wanna meet him.
There were hundreds of images being captured by the damn jackets.
- Why don't they just annihilate us? - They need us for something.
We want to provide complete medical services to all.
Mr.
Decker, may we have a word before you go? You think I'm gonna die? - The good news is we can heal you.
- We've developed a vitamin supplement.
R6 is what they're putting in their vitamin shot.
This is part of something bigger.
Keep this as evidence.
The rest, we destroy.
The warehouse containing all of the R6 compound has been lost.
We have to stop this.
Now.
I got some news today.
I'm pregnant.
Who are you? How did you get in here? Sir, remain conscious.
We'll take care of you.
Breathe, sir.
Keep breathing.
Stabilizing.
- Where am I? - It's okay, Jack.
You're at the V Healing Center.
You're in good hands.
Hey, this is Brandon.
Leave a message.
It's Tyler's mom.
He's not answering my calls.
I know he's on the V ship.
I've been calling all night.
Call me back.
Please.
Agh! No! Nice try.
Stings like hell, but my heart's on the other side.
I bet that stings like hell too.
Wow, someone's hungry.
- Guess you're eating for two now, right? - More like 10.
This is my third omelet.
I don't think my appetite's normal.
I'm only six weeks.
Most women tend to lose their appetites in the first trimester.
You really gotta go easy, okay? - This isn't your average pregnancy.
- What do you mean? I'm talking about your heart condition.
Yeah, sweetheart, we really need to be careful with that.
- Oh! - What? What is it? I think I just felt the baby move.
- How is that possible? - Let me see.
I don't feel anything.
Let's get you to sit down.
I want you to sit down and slow down.
Hardly had time to get used to this but I'm sure everything's gonna be fine, okay? All right? Just relax.
You're right.
Anyway, the OB will explain everything next week.
Next week? That was fast.
Yeah, I was nervous so I had the appointment pushed up.
All our questions will be answered then.
- Yeah.
- It's Erica.
I've just been attacked.
They have my son.
This is the guard from the V warehouse we torched.
Well, he was.
I been trying to call Jack.
You heard from him? No.
But Georgie's looking.
How do we know that they're not out there right now, searching for him? He acted alone.
Everything he ever knew about us ends here.
- How do you know? - Because I know Anna.
We infiltrated a warehouse he was guarding, blew it up right under his nose.
Make a mistake, you clean it up before you report to her.
And he figured that he would suffer a better fate at my hand than hers? He was wrong.
What are you doing? My son is on that ship, and I'm going to get him back.
You can't go storming up to the ship, Erica.
Ryan, that bastard came and tried to kill me.
Now, my son is up there with them.
Don't tell me what I can't do.
We make the wrong move here, Erica, your son will have no one to come home to.
I'm trying to help.
You wanna help? Lose the body.
His mother keeps calling.
She's worried about him.
Keep him here till we find what we need.
He can only have one family: Us.
Yes, Mother.
I'm not saying this again.
I need to see my son.
I'm no longer asking.
Agent Evans.
I need to see my son.
Tyler.
This way, please.
Tyler, come on.
We're leaving.
No, Mom.
I'm not.
Look, I know I was out all night and I should've called you.
And I'm really sorry but I don't want to go home.
Not right now.
Ty, I need you to come home now.
Why? I'm safe.
I'm fine.
What is it? Because you don't trust the V's? I still don't understand what your problem is with them.
My only problem is that you stayed out all night and you didn't call.
I was worried.
Something could have happened to you.
What, you think just because you're 17, I don't worry anymore? Look, I'm not a kid anymore, and you gotta stop treating me like one.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
I'll be home for dinner.
Tyler.
Your son is still onboard our ship.
He refused to come down, so you were speaking to a hologram of him.
Don't worry, Agent Evans.
As long as your son is a guest on our ship, you have nothing to fear.
This is Chad Decker with a Prime Focus special report.
An apparent attack on a Lyndhurst shipping warehouse has destroyed most of New York City's flu vaccines.
The FBI has no suspects at this time but rumors are swirling it may have been a terrorist attack.
There are even some anti-V activists claiming the Visitors were involved.
We'll have more details as they become available to us throughout the day.
We have nothing to worry about.
Our fail-safe incinerated everything inside, there's nothing left to lead them back to us.
Even your mouthpiece, Chad Decker, can't hurt us.
I'll handle him.
Where do we stand with our own investigation? No leads.
Our surveillance was erased before the Fifth Column sent their message and destroyed our warehouse full of R6.
Find who did this and supply the FBI with a lead.
Deliver a villain and a hero emerges.
The resistance is growing.
If the Fifth Column is in our midst, there may be others on ships worldwide.
We have to crush them before they become a greater threat.
To do that we need more soldiers.
An army.
You only brought a few on these ships.
The fleet you sent for is still on its way.
You'll get your army.
How? I'll make one.
I need to get on that ship and get my son.
You do that and he's dead.
Anna knows that you're an FBI agent.
There is no way she is gonna risk a diplomatic incident by hurting Tyler.
There is nothing that we can do about it right now.
You need to go to work and stay as close to that warehouse investigation as you can.
Make sure it doesn't lead back to us.
Any word from Jack? - Georgie's still looking for him.
- What are you gonna do? I'll take a sample of that R6 that we got from the warehouse to a V doctor I know.
See if we can figure out what's in that flu vaccine.
Find Jack, okay? No.
No.
Long time, Dr.
Pearlman.
Ryan.
What are you doing here? I need your help.
- What's this? - R6.
The V's are putting that into the human flu vaccine.
Thought you'd help me find out why.
That's not the only reason I'm here.
My girlfriend, Val She's pregnant.
Are you sure? They told us that we could not procreate with humans.
This is the first I've ever heard of this happening.
I I guess nature and fate, they find a way.
She has this heart condition though and I don't even know if she can handle a regular pregnancy let alone something like this.
Does she know the truth about you? I'm afraid what it will do to her, and us, if she ever found out.
Imagine what would happen if Anna ever found out about this.
You, your girlfriend, your child will never be safe.
The captains of the 29 ships are sending their best soldiers to us.
They're to report to you for a full medical examination before I meet them.
As you wish.
Where do we stand with the R6? The doses that we hid in the human flu vaccines were destroyed by the explosion.
We still have plenty of R6 in our Healing Centers.
Continue to administer it to the humans there.
Many of them are too afraid to go into the Healing Centers.
- They don't trust us yet.
- Then we'll get them to trust us.
How? By using somebody they already do.
Good news, Chad.
Your CT scan showed no sign of a basilar artery aneurysm.
Well, the V scan says that I'm going to develop one.
All I can tell you is that the most advanced human technology doesn't indicate that there's a problem.
Well, what if they're right? If I do develop one? Well, unfortunately that type of aneurysm is inoperable.
So there wouldn't be anything we could do for you anyway.
So I should let the V's heal me? Chad, as a doctor, I can only recommend what I know to be medically possible.
And as a friend? We don't know what the long-term effects of the healing methods are.
So you can either trust our medicine or theirs.
Excuse me.
Yes? Can I help you? Yeah.
I'm looking for Father Jack.
You're thinking of joining the parish? No.
Not exactly.
Listen, I need to find him.
It's important.
I'm afraid there's been an accident.
Jack was stabbed late last evening.
What? - Who? - We don't know yet.
But it's a miracle he's alive.
- Okay, what hospital is he in'? - Not a hospital.
The V Healing Center.
I took him where I know he would be saved.
Any news on the warehouse explosion? CSU found nothing.
Whatever hit that place burned so hot there was nothing left to analyze.
Malik.
What does Malik have to do with the warehouse explosion? As head of the Visitor Joint Task Force, she's been brought into the investigation.
- The Visitors offered to assist us.
- How? They got an alien K-9 unit we're not aware of? Apparently they have a device that can show us who did this.
Agent Evans.
Nice to see you again.
I'm sorry about this morning.
So am I.
Tyler is doing fine.
And with respect to the warehouse I want to assure you that whoever committed this heinous act we will catch them.
Our technology can measure ordinance fragmentation chemical composition and projected blast pattern.
Together it calculates and creates a simulation of the explosion.
There's your explosive.
C-4 plastic compound, magnesium fuse, Now that I told you the how, would you like to know the who? Wow.
Those are prints.
We got a match.
Prints belong to Kyle Hobbes.
Who's Kyle Hobbes? He's a mercenary at the head of pretty much every law enforcement agency's most-wanted list.
Yeah, former British SAS.
Improvised weapons expert.
Guerilla warfare, black ops.
He's the guy countries would send in to train rebels when they needed an uprising.
Well, that was before he became a gun for hire, whoever would pay him most.
No one's had anything solid to pin on him, till now.
This pans out, it's a big win for us.
I'll report back to Anna.
This will please her to know she's helped you.
All right, listen up everybody.
Hobbes is in New York.
Run all informants, work with known-associates lists.
We finally got something to pin on this guy.
Let's bring him in.
So, what's this guy got to do with us? On paper, we don't stand a chance against the Visitors.
We are overpowered, outnumbered, and under-equipped.
Hobbes can train us, teach us how to think.
Recruiting him for the resistance? I know how crazy this sounds, Ryan.
Believe me.
I have spent my entire career ridding the world of people like Hobbes.
I'm scared.
My son is up there on that ship.
I am helpless to protect him.
Okay, say we do this, right? How do we even find him? - Dale.
- Your old partner.
He spent seven years with the FBI Counter Terrorist Division.
He was meticulous.
They have his hard drive.
If there is any information about Hobbes, that is where it will be.
- You're sure about this? - What if he isn't just some patsy? What if Anna chose him for a reason? - Because he's dangerous to her.
- Yeah.
He has access to weapons.
He can train a resistance.
That is exactly why we need him.
The FBI took the bait.
They're looking for Kyle Hobbes.
He will no longer be a problem for us.
Where are we with finding the Fifth Column who are truly responsible? Our people are looking into it.
We will find them.
Good.
And then I'll eviscerate them.
If we cross this line, Erica, and we get into bed with a guy like Hobbes there is no turning back.
She has my son.
If I have to cross a line to blow that bitch out of the sky, I will.
That's fug Japanese blowfish.
I know.
It has a deadly poison in its liver.
If not cut properly it means instant death.
Maybe that's what makes it so delicious.
Try it.
Wow.
That's amazing.
Sit.
Enjoy.
Thanks for joining me.
I saw your piece on the warehouse explosion.
Why did you mention rumors of my people being involved? Because they're part of the story.
- I was doing my job.
I am a reporter.
- Mm.
And yet you haven't aired your story on our Healing Centers.
It's very important to me.
And so are you.
I know about the aneurysm, Chad.
I also know you haven't signed up for treatment with us.
And I'm concerned.
Thank you.
But I feel fine.
That's today.
What about tomorrow? I'm not sure I believe you can diagnose the future.
This is real.
Why won't you let me help you? Maybe because you always want something from me.
And you don't want something from me? Run the piece on the Healing Centers.
And what if I don't? I can only imagine how scary it must be living in fear of sudden death.
And helpless to do anything about it.
Mm.
It is delicious.
Jack, hey.
Welcome back.
It's okay.
You're healed.
No.
No.
Something's wrong with me.
Oomph.
They injected me with R6.
I ca I can feel it inside me.
No.
No.
It's okay.
It's me.
Georgie.
How'd you find me? Father Travis said he brought you here for your own good.
- Where's everyone else? - I'll explain later.
Now get dressed.
We need to get out of here.
Evans.
You find anything on Hobbes? You'll be the first to know.
Great.
Hey, Kyle.
What are you smiling about? That she didn't come alone.
Who are you? Your only chance for a future.
How'd you find me? My old partner kept files on people like you.
He also didn't like to share them with the FBI.
- Well, who'd he share them with? - The same people who set you up.
Set me up? How? Your prints on the bomb that torched the Lyndhurst warehouse.
If I had anything to do with that, they wouldn't have my prints.
And since I didn't, they don't.
- They do.
- Prove it.
Or the three of us play Who's Got The Best Aim.
Trust me, not a game you wanna play.
Kendrick.
Paul.
It's Erica.
I'm following up a lead from Dale's hard drive.
A tip on the location for Hobbes.
- On my way.
- I'll meet you there.
Any minute now the FBI SWAT team will come through that door.
You can either come with us or leave with them.
Make up your mind.
Move it.
Move, move, move.
We only came here for help.
My kind of help costs, and you're living on a fed's salary.
That sounds like a raw deal for me.
We can get you money.
We can also get you something more valuable.
- What? - The people who framed you.
Aren't you curious? You have one minute.
Your choice.
- FBI.
- FBI.
- Clear.
- All clear.
- Back room clear.
- Clear.
- Where is he? - Just missed him.
Cigar's still lit.
There's another door.
Escape route.
- Where's Hobbes? - Gone.
Somebody tipped him off.
Did you find what we're looking for? There's just so much.
What does it all mean? They don't seem to serve any purpose.
Human memories contain emotion, not just information.
That's why they can be difficult to interpret.
Why aren't our memories like that? Our species is designed for efficiency.
We're not burdened by emotional imprints like humans.
What do you think? Do you like it? Yeah, let's just keep this quiet.
We have what we need.
Tyler must calm her fears.
Loosen her bond on him.
And he will be free from her.
And you, my daughter, will be free to fulfill your destiny.
- That was amazing.
- We call it a Memory Chamber.
But it felt like I was really there.
We tapped into your cerebral cortex allowing you to re-live your memories in vivid detail.
It affected you.
I saw my family a long time ago.
You know what I saw? I saw a mother afraid of losing her son.
Go home.
Tell her it's okay to let you go.
Not to be afraid.
You're becoming a man, starting your own life.
That doesn't mean she'll lose you like she did your father.
Erica.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- You? - Yeah.
Thank you, Georgie.
This is Hobbes.
He's ex-military.
Gun for hire.
Weapons expert.
He can get us weapons.
He can teach us to fight.
- He's a known terrorist.
- He's only loyal to money.
- Ha, ha, that makes him predictable.
- Someone comes and pays him more? Anna is fighting dirty.
We wanna win this war, we can't bring knives to a gunfight.
You're forgetting one thing.
I haven't said yes yet.
Have you looked in the sky lately? They're hereto annihilate us.
Unless you got deep pockets, I'm not interested in your cause.
This isn't just a cause for us.
It's his way of life, it's my faith.
Revenge for a family slaughtered.
Her son.
We all have a stake in this.
Don't think you don't.
Go ahead.
Walk away.
They still have your prints on that bomb.
And you're trying to hire me, a known fugitive, to do your bidding.
Yeah.
You have as much to lose now as I do.
So last time, show me the money or show me the door.
You're right.
Like it or not, we're all in this together now.
So how about I show you the truth? The V's are nothing but lies.
They look like you.
They sound like you.
But we are not like you.
So you are telling me Yeah.
I'm one of them.
But I am not with them.
And they're the ones that framed you.
Aren't you the least bit pissed off and curious why? Welcome to the war.
Hey, Mom.
It's Ty.
I'm on my way home from the ship now.
I'll see you at dinner, okay? Bye.
Hey.
Georgie told me what happened.
I got the guy who stabbed you.
He's a pair of lizard skin boots now.
- How's Tyler? - Okay.
He's coming home for dinner.
That's good.
How are you? I'm fine.
You lying to me, Father? I feel like something's changed inside of me.
We're all changing.
I just made a deal with the devil I broke every oath that I have sworn to protect.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
You're thinking about protecting your son.
The ones you love.
Hey.
It's good to see a friend.
You too.
So, what did you find out? Examination of the R6 using human technology revealed nothing more than a simple saline shot.
But when I used our equipment, I found something quite different.
R6 has a molecular compound that embeds itself in human DNA.
It interacts with the human genome then emits a wavelength of sorts like a transmission.
So she's tagging humans like animals in the wild? You tell anybody about this? No.
And neither should you.
Not until we know the truth.
How are the candidates for the next phase of the R6 plan looking? I think Anna will be pleased.
I'm Chad Decker, reporting live from the Manhattan Visitor Healing Center.
Miracle cures? Wonder drugs? Tonight, Prime Focus takes you inside the V Healing Centers where science fiction is becoming science fact for those in need.
For those like me.
During my visit here, for this report the V doctors diagnosed me with a lethal brain aneurysm.
They're telling me they have a cure and I'm gonna take it.
Prime Focus will take its cameras behind the curtains as I am healed by the Visitor doctors, giving all of you a first-hand look at their miracle cures.
What is it? Mr.
Decker just made sure we take very good care of him.
Kyle Hobbes escaped the FBI.
We suspect he was tipped off.
Fifth Column? Perhaps.
He can help them build an army against us.
It's time to build our own.
You have been selected from the best among the 29 ships.
Our army will begin with one of you.
The very survival of our species will depend on one of you.
Your queen commands it.
Him.
- Morn? - Ty? Thank God you're home.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Are you? Do you have any idea what you put me through today? Yes, and I'm sorry.
- But I need to tell you something.
- Okay.
No, just listen to me for once, Mom.
Okay.
You're not gonna lose me.
I'm not Dad.
I am always gonna be here for you.
Just because I'm growing up it doesn't mean we gotta grow apart.
How can I expect you to understand my choices if I can't be completely honest with you? About what? The Visitors.
- I need to talk to you about the Visitors.
- No.
There's something I have to tell you.
It's very I joined the Peace Ambassadors.
You don't have to be afraid of the V's anymore.
I'm not afraid of the Visitors, Ty.
I'm just afraid of losing you.
You won't.
Trust me.
I do trust you.
No more secrets about the Visitors, okay? Don't worry, Mom.
The Visitors, they don't have any secrets.
Val? Val? - Everything okay? - Something's not right.
What do you mean? I've been eating nonstop all day long and I've had weird cravings.
Something's not right.
I never told you this, but I always wanted kids.
And then I met you.
And you told me that it wasn't a possibility for you.
I realized that if there was anything in the world that I wanted more than being a morn, it was to be with you.
- Val - No, let me finish.
It's a miracle, this baby, Ryan.
It happened for a reason.
I know it did.
It's done.
My army is to be born.
Now my eggs need nourishment.
