V s02e01 Episode Script

My name is Anna.
Don't be frightened.
We are of peace.
Always.
It is really important that you don't get involved with the Visitors.
A human is carrying a Visitor baby.
I'm pleased the baby survived.
The mother, however, did not.
You're a Visitor.
There's others like me, the Fifth Column.
Evans, I want you to investigate the Fifth Column.
- We have to crush them.
- We need more soldiers.
An army.
I'll make one.
Anna's V soldier eggs are about to hatch.
I have a plan.
There is a war at hand.
Let V stand for victory.
No! You are experiencing human emotion.
- Do you know what you've done? - They must pay.
Ty? Tyler? Ty? Ty? Ty? Tyler! Tyler! Tyler? Tyler? Hey, hey.
Hey.
Mom, what is this? What did you do to us? Ty? Tyler? Ty, Ty, no.
No, Ty.
No.
Why did you do this? You killed my children, so I killed yours.
Virtually impossible in this situation.
I just wanna make sure that if Forensics has new data, that we get it.
Evans.
Didn't I send you home? Go get some sleep.
Four days since Red Sky, no bottom in sight, you expect me to go home? - Anyone cleared a meeting with Anna? - Negative.
World leaders continue to reach out, but Her Majesty Anna remains silent.
Guess on her planet that's a show of power.
Unfortunately, on ours, silence means guilt.
There's still no proof the Visitors are behind this.
Either way, we need to get up there, talk to them, find out.
The longer we wait to answer questions about Red Sky the sooner they could reach an answer.
Even if the humans determine its composition they'll never be able to discern its true purpose.
Perhaps.
However, I've monitored the work of their top environmental scientists.
There is one, a Dr.
Ellis Watts whose research is approaching dangerous proximity to the truth.
Eliminate him.
There is another matter to discuss.
The captains of the 29 ships were caught off-guard by the sudden release of Red Sky.
They're concerned that you, yourself, have been affected by human emotion.
That you're losing control, your ability to rule effectively.
Do you also feel that I'm losing control, Marcus? Of course not, my queen.
Set up a holo-conference with the captains immediately.
The captains are already en route.
To see you in person.
Notify me when they've arrived.
Yes? My queen.
There's a situation with the prisoner.
Don't worry.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
I promise.
You disappoint me, Ryan.
Even after you rebelled against me, I brought you back.
I offered you everything.
A home.
I gave you bliss.
Yet you continue to resist.
I don't want your bliss.
- I just wanna see my daughter.
- No.
- You wanna take your daughter.
- Away from this prison.
Before you kill her just like you did her mother.
You've done nothing but run tests on me.
Who knows what you're doing to her? I'm just trying to discover how your daughter, a miracle the first hybrid baby between human and V, was born.
She was born out of something you'll never understand.
Love.
If it's humans you love so much, you should be with them.
Take him down to Earth.
He's never to return.
- Your daughter stays with me.
- No.
No.
It's been two months since the arrival of Anna and the Visitors.
Earth's first contact with alien life captured the hope and imagination of the entire world.
But now a very different tone.
Acceptance and gratitude over such gifts as Healing Centers and Blue Energy replaced by anger and civil unrest.
Reports of rioting continue to flow in.
And we've now received word that officials in Washington are scrambling to mobilize the military in case of all-out war.
Here on the streets of Manhattan some citizens have begun stocking up on food, water and medical supplies dreading that we may be inching closer to disaster.
As a result of this, some have sought sanctuary in houses of worship praying for answers of any kind, from either God or Anna.
In response to the rioting in the streets some citizens have begun stockpiling guns and ammunition.
As one New Yorker remarked: "If Anna's bringing Armageddon, I'm going out fighting.
" Eyewitnesses report that the Visitor Peace Ambassador Center has become a powder keg waiting to explode.
Remaining Visitors on the ground, fearing for their safety board the last shuttles back to the mother ship it is safe to say that relations between Visitors and humans are all but shattered.
And still, with no word from the Visitors and world leaders stymied by their silence the question remains, is there anyone who can stand up to Anna? We've gotta get to Anna.
There's nothing we can do.
At least not through official channels.
You know what? You're right.
I'm wrecked.
I'm gonna go home.
I'll do it on my own.
Ryan Nichols has returned to Earth.
You're questioning why I released him.
We tested him and found nothing.
The answers we need about the hybrid lie in the child itself.
- What if he joins Fifth Column? - That's exactly what I want him to do.
His hatred towards me will drive him into the heart of the Fifth Column.
Once there, we can use him to destroy them from within.
He's rebelled against you time and again.
What makes you think you can control him this time? We have his child.
Four days and we still have no clue about Red Sky.
The only one with answers is Anna.
It's not like we can just ring the lizard queen on her cell.
"Hello, Anna.
Fifth Column here.
May we have a word?" I need to get on that ship.
It's me.
Ryan? Where have you been? We were worried.
- I was up on the ship.
- For four days? Doing what, having a family reunion? No, I was a prisoner.
A soldier found Val, took her up to the mother ship.
I did all I could.
I went up there after her.
Ryan, where's Val? Dead.
I'm sorry.
- The baby? - Anna's got her.
I tried to get her out, get her away.
But Anna caught me and she threw me off the ship.
Interesting story.
What, he just shows up and we're supposed to believe him? If I'd sold you out, V soldiers would have come through that door behind me.
So she just let you go? And now she wants nothing in return? Yeah? - Ty.
- I'm at the Peace Ambassador Center.
- They're rioting.
- Stay put.
I will be right there.
There's a riot at the Peace Ambassador Center.
Tyler's there.
There are questions amongst you regarding the release of the Red Sky.
I assure you it was all part of my plan.
And no one, human or Visitor can comprehend the magnitude of what is coming.
There's also concern that I've been infected by the human skin.
You have no cause for worry.
I have everything under control.
I am so appreciative of your trust.
Your confidence.
Your loyalty.
I may wear this skin, but I never forget what we are beneath.
Tyler! Mom? Mom, I was trying to get up on the ship to see Lisa.
- It was the last shuttle up.
- It's okay.
Stay with me.
I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? Hey, hey, hey.
Back off.
Back off.
Ty! Tyler! Tyler! Tyler! - Hey.
Hey.
- Mom, I'm fine.
It's okay.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Okay, look.
You're hurt.
I'm gonna get you help.
Excuse me.
Excuse me! I'm Erica Evans, FBI, Fifth Column Task Force.
Anna knows me.
This is my son, Tyler.
He needs to get up on the ship.
He needs medical attention.
Anna will want to know.
She will want to help him.
Call her! It's okay, it's okay.
Stay back! Agent Evans, I've been authorized to bring your son up to the mother ship.
No.
He's not going without me.
Agent Evans, we have to go, now.
Are you sure we're gonna be okay, Father? Yes.
Yes, we're gonna be - Please, take a seat.
- Thank you, Father.
What are you doing here? You seen what it's like outside? The sky's bleeding.
I came to pray.
You're not welcome.
Not after what you've done.
Wait.
What do you want? Redemption.
I saw something on the ship.
Anna's torturing the live-aboards.
With some kind of needle machine.
They're put into it and I helped get them up there.
I promoted the Live Aboard program.
People thought Healing Centers were safe because they saw Chad's aneurism get healed.
News flash, Father, Anna gave me that aneurism.
People trusted me and I used that trust exactly the way Anna wanted me to.
I'm not sure how I can help you, Chad.
Or if I want to.
Father, please.
Give me another chance.
To fight with the Fifth Column.
You're not just asking for another chance.
You're asking for forgiveness.
Only God can offer you that.
You want my trust? Earn it.
You'll be okay.
Thank you.
- Mrs.
Evans, is he all right? - Don't worry.
Tyler will be fine.
It looks worse than it is.
I needed an excuse to get up on the ship to see you.
What is happening? First the sky turns red, now the rain.
- What the hell is your mother doing? - I don't know.
We need your help.
Joshua was our most important ally on the ship.
With him dead Without someone up here, the Fifth Column doesn't stand a chance.
The only one besides my mother who might know about the Red Sky is Marcus.
See what you can find out.
I'll do my best, Mrs.
Evans.
Thank you.
Mom, I'm fine.
You could've been seriously hurt.
We wanted to take all precautions.
Leave nothing to chance.
Thank you for letting him up on the ship.
Every being in the universe understands a mother's pain when a child suffers.
You would've done the same for my children.
I would.
There are other mothers down there, Anna.
Excuse me? Have you seen what's happening down there? People are panicking.
My son took a blow to the head.
The sky It's raining red.
The whole world needs answers.
Why are you hiding? I came here to check on your son, not to be questioned.
Now that I know he's okay Stop.
Anna, my job is to protect you.
How the hell am I supposed to do that if I don't know what you're doing? You wanna know what Red Sky is? I'll show you.
- When? - Now.
Please.
Don't be frightened.
I'm aware of your concerns.
The time for answers has come.
Red Sky and Red Rain are not to be feared.
Just the opposite.
Like the Healing Centers and Blue Energy.
That is why I was forced to wait until I had proof.
To show you what it truly is.
Red Sky is a gift to mankind.
A gift of a new beginning.
Red Sky will heal your oceans make fertile your barren lands and reverse global warming.
It will undo a century of damage and give Earth a new beginning.
We came in peace, and you welcomed us.
We will not betray you.
We are of peace.
Always.
I hope your concerns have been addressed.
They have, Anna.
Thank you.
Mom, don't you think you should apologize to Anna? No apology necessary, Erica.
You've been a good friend to me.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Uh, we should go.
Actually, I think I'm gonna stay up here for a bit.
Me and Lisa haven't seen each other in a while, so Don't worry, Erica.
Next to my daughter, Tyler's the most important thing to me.
I'll keep my eye on him.
Okay.
Have fun.
Goodbye, Mrs.
Evans.
A scientist, Dr.
Ellis Watts, at New York State University.
- Bye, Lisa.
- Goodbye.
Lisa, a moment.
You're to perform your duties with Tyler.
All of them.
You haven't seen each other for four days.
Tyler should know how happy you are to see him.
Of course, Mother.
Well, that was one hell of a show Anna put on.
Yeah.
She's covering up something big.
Dr.
Watts' office is inside.
He may know what it is.
Be careful.
If this guy's on Anna's radar we never know what we could be walking into.
Stay outside, watch our backs, let us know if a tail shows up? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Can I help you? We're looking for Dr.
Watts.
- Uh, sorry.
He's not here.
- You know where he is? Skies turned blue.
Check the putting green.
I'm his associate, Dr.
Sidney Miller.
Is there anything I can help you with? Erica.
He's a tracker.
He reports us back to Anna, it's all over.
Move! - Whoa, whoa.
Ease up.
- Get off me, Hobbes! Ryan.
- What happened? - Somebody's got anger issues.
What the hell was that? That did not just happen.
That was a Visitor.
He's after your boss, Dr.
Watts.
- I thought the V's were of peace.
- That's what they want you to think.
If that thing would've gotten to your boss, there'd be nothing left but pieces.
That That thing, that Visitor.
I don't think it was after Dr.
Watts.
I think it was after me.
We need to take this inside.
Come on.
Why do you think the V's are after you and not Dr.
Watts? I think it's just easier if I show you.
Um, a few years ago I was on a research dig in New Mexico.
Found a mass grave site, a crater loaded with bodies.
Really creepy.
Based on carbon dating, the site was 50 years old.
All the bones I found were human.
Except for these.
I named him Alpha.
Yeah, it's one of us.
Wow, that's crazy.
So that's you underneath? - I mean, is this a suit of some kind? - No.
The skin's organic.
It's real.
Just like yours.
The V's use the human DNA to replicate it so there's no suspicion.
Okay.
Enough about this Visitor.
Let's talk about that one.
Sure.
I ran every test on him.
DNA.
Carbon dating.
Everything I tried, it all came back inconclusive.
I mean, my only theory was that it came from Does anybody else know about Alpha? Or about this place? Nobody.
This is my private lab.
All of this research.
All of this information about the Visitors.
We need him.
Whoa, what? What do you mean, need me? Need me for what? For the war.
Against the Visitors.
Everything that has happened since their arrival was plotted.
The Healing Centers, the Blue Energy, it is all part of their plan against us.
Red Sky is not Anna's latest gift.
It is her latest weapon.
And we do need you.
We need your help to figure out the truth.
- Look, I'm not a soldier.
- I know.
We don't need your fists.
We need your brain.
And if you say no, we'll kill you.
Ah, relax.
I'm kidding.
Maybe.
Like it or not you're one of us now.
What is it, Chad? Proof you can trust me.
You need to show this to the people you're working with.
It first happened a few days after I arrived.
On Live Aboard? Yes.
I was excited at first.
We all were.
But then the nightmares began.
They were terrible.
I know they were just dreams, but they felt so real.
I couldn't move.
There, uh There were lights and needles.
Hundreds of needles all over my body.
I've interviewed nearly 20 women, children too.
Each of them experienced the very same nightmare.
Every story exactly the same, all of them live-aboards.
That's the machine that I saw, Father.
That's what the V's are doing to the live-aboards.
To innocent people.
Our people.
And I'm gonna stop it.
How? I'm gonna broadcast this tape.
I have to do something.
What else am I supposed to do? Use this, Father.
Use me in your fight.
- I really missed you.
- Me too.
My mother wouldn't let me contact anyone.
I know.
I was just worried.
I thought that maybe you didn't wanna be with me anymore.
Lisa has performed well.
She'll make an excellent queen.
One day.
Where are we with the next step of the plan? Everything is back on track.
But there is one matter we need to discuss.
The soldiers, your children, who survived the Fifth Column bombing their condition has taken a turn.
You need to see them.
Soon, the levels of phosphorous in humans will be substantial enough.
Red Sky may be gone but its impact will endure.
Anna's a lizard? That sucks.
She's so hot.
Sorry.
I joke when I'm nervous.
Sid, I wanna get back to why the Visitors went after Dr.
Watts and not you.
Did he know about Alpha? No.
No one does.
If I showed this thing to Watts, he'd steal it or laugh me out of the room.
So why was Watts on their radar? The compound.
In my tests, I discovered a compound in Alpha.
Couldn't identify it.
Then, when Red Sky happened, that same compound showed up in it.
I had to use a computer at Watts' lab for the analysis.
So I logged on using his ID.
That's why the Visitors thought it was Watts.
Yeah.
They must have thought it was his work.
But he didn't know what it was.
No one does.
Show us everything you have on the compound.
Yeah, sure.
Beats me what the hell it is.
I just know it's not from Earth.
You're right.
It's not.
That compound is a form of phosphorous.
A high concentrate, only found on our home planet.
Why phosphorous? The V's need phosphorous to reproduce.
It forms a protective shell around our eggs.
Val needed it to To carry our baby.
Anna dumps Red Rain on us, and now it's in everything.
The soil.
The air we breathe.
The water we drink.
They're changing our planet.
They're changing us.
Our bodies.
Why would the Visitors want elevated levels of phosphorous inside humans? For breeding.
So first they want to invade us, then they wanna shag us.
Erica, what's wrong? When I was pregnant with my son, I had preeclampsia.
My doctor ran some tests and she found something that she had never seen before.
I had abnormally high amounts of phosphorous in my blood.
Ryan, you said that phosphorous allows the Visitors to breed.
And Alpha is proof that the Visitors have been here for longer than we knew.
So you don't really think that? What are you suggesting? Is it possible the Visitors experimented on me when I was pregnant? I don't know.
Well, how could you find out? I'd have to run some blood tests.
On you and your son.
Do it.
You wanted to see me, Mother? Your work with Tyler was very convincing.
It is key, now more than ever, that you maintain your control over him.
I understand.
Tyler is essential to our future.
No one must interfere.
Neither human nor Visitor.
Visitor? There are traitors among us.
But soon they won't be a problem.
Our medical technicians have revived Joshua.
The traitor will finally be able to talk.
The pain was horrible.
Like nothing I'd ever felt before.
The needles.
They just dug in, piercing.
Chad Decker interviewed Every one says the same thing.
The live-aboards.
The V's are experimenting on them? Chad wants to go public, expose Anna to the world.
To join the fight.
The best thing he can do is preserve his access to Anna.
He's closer to her than any human.
We can use him.
I don't think he's gonna do that.
He's terrified of her.
What if it backfires? Yeah, I don't know.
It's a risk I'm willing to take.
My daughter's up there.
Ryan, we will do whatever it takes to find your daughter and to bring her back.
I swear.
I gotta go.
- Can you let me out? - Yeah.
I'm worried about him, Erica.
- We can trust Ryan.
- Yeah, I know.
But ask yourself, what would you be willing to do for Tyler if Anna had him? At some point Ryan's gonna have to make a choice.
His daughter or us.
Joshua.
You're alive.
I was afraid I don't know if I can do this without you.
Do what? Lisa, this behavior isn't befitting a future queen.
Joshua, do you remember anything that happened to you? That you were shot? Any of it? No.
I remember nothing.
More popular every day, Father.
- You talk to the Fifth Column? - You can't broadcast that report, Chad.
So I'm supposed to do what? Sit back and do nothing? While more innocent people get hurt? - I have to expose them.
- And then what? Those mother ships can overpower our military in the blink of an eye.
We need to be strategic.
When we throw our punch, it needs to be a knockout blow.
Okay, so then you tell me how I can help take Anna down.
By keeping your relationship with her.
I can't do that.
Not after knowing what I know.
You have access to Anna and the ship.
None of us do.
We need you up there.
As a spy? As a member of the Fifth Column.
This is what you wanted.
Are you ready? Of the 12 soldiers that survived the bombing, only six remain.
Their core temperatures are stabilized but the trauma they sustained was great.
They'll live, but they will be flawed.
These soldiers, my children caused my prior outburst of emotion.
Never again.
Hello, Mother.
