V s02e10 Episode Script

Previously on V: What is your purpose for seeing me? Your loyalty to our species.
If Lisa fails me, this queen egg will save us.
- You okay with this? You're friends.
- That's why you asked for me.
Their invasion ships aren't on the way.
They're already here.
I can control the humans through Bliss.
I can stop any resistance.
Blissing one human nearly killed you.
You sure this is wise? Why is that traitor here? We're surrounded by an invasion fleet.
- We are out of options.
- This is my grandmother.
We're going to overthrow Anna.
What the hell are you doing here? No one understands what it feels like.
To have the weight of an entire species on your shoulders.
Every decision.
Every hard choice.
No one, except you.
You understand.
To survive, you must show no mercy.
Be void of any humanity.
Just like me.
I am nothing like you.
Yes, you are, Erica.
You're exactly like me.
What are you doing? What, another nightmare about the Visitors? Yeah.
And what the future will look like when Anna's gone.
Let's take the bitch down and find out.
My breeding plans are reaching fruition.
Lisa is fertile.
And tonight, she and Tyler will mate.
We have still not learned how to extract the human soul.
When Lisa's children are born, how will you control them? Amy.
She will provide the secret to Blissing humans.
Blissing one human nearly killed you.
Don't question me, Marcus.
I am your queen.
Mom.
Leave us.
Amy.
What is it? What's wrong? I had a dream last night.
Something terrible happened to you.
Please don't ever leave me, Mother.
I promise.
I'll never abandon you like your father did.
- Diana called? - Yeah.
Said it was an emergency.
Wouldn't give more information - till we're all together.
- Okay.
- Diana, we're all here.
- I have received news from Marcus that my daughter's plans have moved along faster than we initially believed.
We cannot wait a moment longer to remove her from power.
But we just started planning.
We're not ready yet.
We need more time.
Unfortunately, time is not a luxury that we can afford, Chad.
We need Lisa.
Where is she? She's on her way now.
We must act immediately.
It's your call.
You're the leader.
- What do you think? - No.
This involves all of us.
It is all of our calls.
We've come too far to turn back now.
All my life, I turned to the sky to see God.
Now I look to the sky, I see 29 ships.
Beyond them, hundreds more.
I want to look at the sky and see God again.
I'm with you.
You know that ship better than anyone.
You want to redeem yourself? Get up there.
Break Diana out of her cell.
We're gonna need all the help we can get.
We're on.
You do your part, Erica.
I'll do mine.
All right.
Zinc-lined, like Diana requested.
Even our Trackers can't trace a scent through this.
An immolation gun, like you requested.
Did you get Tyler off the ship? He's okay.
I want to know the plan, and why you wouldn't tell me until now.
I didn't want you to think about it.
For our plan to work, we need a way to get your mother away from her security.
That's where you come in.
We're gonna fake a kidnapping.
Once my mother discovers I'm missing, she'll stop at nothing to find me.
When the time is right, we want her to find you.
Why? We need to eliminate her.
Since the failed assassination attempt her security won't let anyone close enough to kill her.
Except the one person she would expect least.
You.
In breaking news, WNT has just learned that Visitor High Commander Anna's daughter, Lisa, has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom by the terrorist group the Fifth Column.
Their demands are unprecedented.
We've just received this video.
High Commander Anna.
The Fifth Column has your daughter.
Our demands are simple: Your life in exchange for hers.
It's you we want dead, Anna.
Trade yourself or we kill your daughter.
How did this happen? She was seeing to some peace ambassador duties at the center.
Find Lisa.
Send out our best Tracker.
Ready my shuttle immediately.
My queen, you must not go down to Earth.
You cannot risk your life.
Lisa is the future queen.
The key to our breeding plan and the perpetuity of our species.
Marcus is right.
The Fifth Column has forced my hand.
You're willing to give your life for Lisa's? No.
And I won't have to.
Because you'll make sure that Tracker finds her before it comes to that.
- There she is! - She's here! A photo, Anna? Anna, over here! Anna, I am so sorry about this.
There is nothing worse than when your child is in danger.
I promise you, we will get Lisa back safely.
Thank you.
Does the FBI have any leads on my daughter's whereabouts? Fifth Column instructed us to bring you to Jack Landry.
If you meet with him, he'll give you the location where you're expected - to trade yourself for your daughter.
- Something we can never allow.
No.
We want to use a body double.
That'll keep you safe.
The Fifth Column said they'd kill Lisa if I didn't meet their exact demands.
If they were to suspect it wasn't me, wouldn't I put her at risk? There is not a mother on earth who wouldn't sacrifice her life for the life of her child.
I wouldn't trade Tyler's safety for anything.
But our priority is to keep you safe.
We can't let you go in there.
We'll give you a minute.
We're with you, Anna! Thank you for everything you've done! Tell the FBI I will meet with Jack Landry.
Anna's off the ship.
She took the bait, went after Lisa.
- How's my daughter doing? - She's safe.
As soon as this is over, the two of you will be reunited.
It's good to be back on the same side with you.
Diana's cell is this way.
We have to hurry.
Jack Landry.
I'm Anna.
I know who you are.
As I know who you are.
You've been very outspoken against my people since our arrival.
It's preaching like yours that led to this.
I would never intend for an innocent girl like Lisa to get hurt but I stand by every word I've spoken against you.
Even though it's cost you your collar? Everything you believed in.
The Church took away my collar, not God.
So God is telling you to do the Fifth Column's bidding? Answer me.
I answer only to him, not you.
And with his help, your daughter's life can be saved.
So, what are the instructions? I was told you are to turn yourself over in one hour at the location written inside this envelope.
Leave your security behind and go alone.
Once you arrive, the Fifth Column will contact me and inform me where they're holding Lisa.
Thanks for your help.
And this God you have so much faith in I hope someday to meet him.
They may have covered up Lisa's scent, but not the human scent on this envelope.
It will lead us to her.
Whoever is behind this will pay.
- There she is! - Anna! My queen.
The Tracker traced the human scent from the envelope.
We have located Lisa.
She's alone.
Her captors must have fled before we got there.
- Shall we bring her back to the ship? - No.
Leave her there for now.
As you all know, a terrible thing has happened to my daughter.
I have been asked to give my life for hers.
I stand here today not as the leader of my people, but as a mother.
If Visitors value anything, it is life, above all else.
I cannot let any harm befall my daughter.
No matter what happens my only wish is that you welcome her into your hearts as you welcomed me.
Peace! Love you, Anna! - We're there for you! - Bless you, Anna! Leak the location where the FBI is holding Lisa.
Make sure Chad Decker's there.
I want the whole world to see what happens.
Yes, my queen.
Your mother will be here shortly.
Now, the moment you get the chance, you take the shot.
No hesitation, okay? And once it's done we'll let Ryan know it's safe for Diana to reach out to her followers.
Okay? Lisa, you can do this.
We are now live outside the warehouse where apparently Visitor High Commander Anna's daughter, Lisa is being held by Fifth Column terrorists for ransom.
What do we know? Another anonymous tip claiming Lisa's inside.
Anna won't use a body double and she won't let SWAT go in.
She's afraid if she doesn't adhere exactly to demands, they'll kill Lisa.
- Great, that ties our hands here.
- Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
- Are you sure you want to do this? - Yes, thank you.
Lisa is the only one inside.
You're safe to go in.
In a shocking and unprecedented moment Visitor High Commander Anna is about to enter this warehouse to willingly give her own life in order to rescue her daughter.
Lisa.
- Are you injured? - I'm fine.
Who did this to you? I don't know.
They had masks.
I thought they were gonna kill me.
Then they heard the Tracker and ran off.
Nobody does this to me.
I'm gonna find out who's responsible and they will be punished.
Lisa, I cannot tell you how worried I was about you.
This human skin I never realized how much it affected me.
Or maybe I didn't want to admit the grasp emotion had on me until Until what, Mother? Until I thought I might lose you.
I feel, now that you're safe this emotion, I know now it cannot be bad.
Lisa, I was wrong about so much.
If the humans could teach me this This feeling I have for you, my daughter then everything must change.
Humans and Visitors living side by side, in peace.
I know I've never told you this before but I want you to know I love you.
There, there.
It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
My God.
She didn't do it.
It is a miraculous moment here with Lisa back safe in her mother Anna's arms.
From where I'm standing, it doesn't appear as though the high commander has been harmed in any way.
- Erica.
What happened to Anna? - Get off the ship.
Lisa didn't go through with it.
Anna's alive.
She's headed back to the ship now.
Go.
Lisa didn't kill Anna.
They're headed back here now.
We have to abandon the mission, get you back to your cell.
No.
I'm not going back down there.
We have no choice.
Anna will kill you if she finds you out of your cell.
I am the rightful queen.
And I will not allow my daughter to destroy our species.
Gather my people.
Lisa appears to have minor contusions, but does not seem to be in any pain.
Quite the contrary, she seems relieved glad to be back in her mother's safekeeping.
Thank you, Agent Evans, for everything you've done.
All that matters is you have your daughter.
We'll see if we can get a word from the high commander.
Anna.
Are you hurt? I'm sorry.
I couldn't do it.
All of that preparation, humanity in the balance - and that is your answer? - You don't understand.
My mother's changed.
She wants us to live together in peace.
No.
She's lying to you, Lisa.
I saw it in her eyes.
We can trust her.
What if you're wrong? She's merciless.
No more merciless than you've shown you can be.
Hello, my children.
It is your mother, Diana.
For 15 years I have dreamed of being reconnected with my children again.
You have been lied to, misled.
My daughter had me imprisoned.
She thought she had a better plan for our species.
She has proven ill-equipped to be your queen.
The human soul is a gift.
We must embrace the soul, embrace humanity.
Together, humans and Visitors can live side by side in peace.
Your rightful queen has returned to lead you on a new beginning.
From this moment on Did you think you could outmaneuver me? Daughter.
You taught me everything you know but you never learned half of what I know.
You've just doomed us all.
Now, that's how you kill your mother.
I imprisoned this woman, my mother, to protect you.
She was weak.
Stained with human emotion.
She wanted to dilute our species subvert us to the humans.
No matter what the obstacles, I will never allow that to happen.
I am your queen.
And I will protect you.
But if anyone defies my will they will meet the same fate as my mother.
Take her away.
I'll deal with her later.
Mother.
Please Now kneel.
Ryan, you have to get off the ship while you still can.
I've run before but not this time.
I am not leaving without my daughter.
Amy? What are you doing in my room? Listen we have to get out of here right now, okay? Before Anna finds out that I'm here.
- All right? - Get out.
Okay, Amy.
Amy.
I'm your father.
I'm not gonna fight you.
A father who abandoned me? Left me to suffer in pain? No.
That's not true.
That's not true at all.
Listen.
Anna's just been twisting things.
Everything I've ever done was only to protect you after your mother died.
No, Anna is my mother.
And you, you left me here to die.
I will never let you hurt me or Anna ever again.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Ty! Pick up, pick up, come on, Ty, pick up.
- Hey, Mom.
- Ty, where are you? I'm on the ship.
I just got back from a shuttle flight.
- I need you to get off the ship now.
- What are you talking about? I have kept things from you about the Visitors but it is time that you knew the truth about everything.
They were right.
We've got a problem.
Erica knows everything.
Tyler, get off the ship.
Now.
Mom, if what you're saying is true then I have to hear it from Lisa myself.
- No.
- I love you.
Tyler? Ty Worldwide leaders are flocking to support the Visitor High Commander Anna in the wake of today's kidnapping of her daughter, Lisa.
Anna's selfless decision to risk her own life in order to save her daughter's is being met with universal praise.
I have won the love and respect of humanity the world over.
It's time to see our breeding plan to completion.
But Lisa has betrayed you.
She cannot be trusted to mate with Tyler.
Lisa will not be birthing the next generation of our species.
A fully preserved queen egg.
When is she due to hatch? Put skin on my new daughter.
Make sure she looks exactly like Lisa.
We got here and Hobbes was gone.
Everything was cleared out.
- Why would he disappear? - Been trying to call him.
- He's not answering his cell.
- Keep trying.
I told Tyler everything.
Everything about the Visitors.
He's still on the ship.
And it's my fault.
Wait, wait, Erica.
Just try not to panic, okay? We've all misstepped.
No.
Not you.
You are the only one who held strong to what you believe in.
It's not too late for you.
I let my anger blind me.
I became someone just like her.
Never again.
No word from Ryan either.
What the hell is going on on that ship? Your life in exchange for hers.
My queen.
There is something I must confess.
I watched you fall prey to human emotion and fell victim to Diana's manipulations.
I betrayed you.
And for that I deserve one fate: Death.
No.
You acted on what you believed was the best for our species.
But I've learned something new, Marcus.
Human emotion can be useful.
It's how I stopped Lisa from killing me.
If I can wield it like a weapon use it to manipulate the humans I'll be more powerful than ever before.
My only regret is that I cannot give you the name of my co-conspirators.
I interfaced only with Diana.
She made sure of that.
There may be a way.
Our techs have been working on this message since it aired.
The way the voice was disguised, it's not possible to unscramble it with human technology.
It's you we want dead, Anna.
MAN Trade yourself or we kill your daughter.
That's Chad Decker's voice.
Bring him to me.
And, Marcus don't ever betray me again.
- Is she ready? - Yes.
Let me see her.
Hello, Mother.
Has she watched all of Lisa's memories? Just what she needs for tonight.
Tyler will not know the difference.
Go to him, my daughter.
Yes, Mother.
She's perfect.
Hey, Lisa.
I missed you.
We need to talk.
What's wrong? I know this sounds insane but I heard from someone that you guys don't look like us underneath.
That you're actually here to hurt humans, not to help us.
I know it sounds crazy.
It is crazy, Tyler.
You've certainly looked better, dear.
Unfortunately there's just some people you can't trust.
Welcome to your new home.
Thankfully your grandmother won't be needing it any longer.
Why don't you just kill me? I wasn't lying when I said not all human emotion is bad.
This one's called vengeance.
I wanna see you suffer.
Enjoy the show.
I love you so much right now.
Tyler, I'm really worried.
Please call me after you talk to Lisa.
No! Now just untie one hand and it'll be a fair fight.
You're here because of what you know.
You had to poke your head around.
You wanted to know everything about the Visitors.
And now, you're gonna have to deal with the consequences.
Who are you? I'm Lars Tremont.
Leader of Project Ares.
- Chad Decker? - Yes.
Anna would like to see you.
Now.
Where are we? About a mile beneath Manhattan.
This place could withstand any nuclear fallout or, say, the impact of a mother ship being blown out of the sky.
Project Ares is a cabal of high-ranking military and government leaders from around the world who've long suspected that the V's are not of peace.
We also know, as do you, that they've been here a lot longer than anyone has imagined.
Gentlemen.
- Paul? - Evans.
Chris.
How long have you been tracking me? Long enough to know that we can trust you.
This, Agent Evans, is humanity's last best hope for a future.
Attempting to Bliss humanity will surely kill you.
Then I will die.
But not before I fulfill my promise to my subjects and show them that humanity cannot, nor will not ever defeat us.
You feel only peace.
Sense only peace.
Only my Bliss can comfort you.
Please, my queen.
Please stop.
This will kill you.
Only my Bliss can save you.
Feel my Bliss.
Mother, stop.
I can do it for you.
You sense only peace.
What's going on? - Something's happening to people.
- Where? Everywhere.
You feel only comfort.
Only calm.
Only love.
I am your sole protector and your keeper.
Only my Bliss.
I'm all you need.
You really are a miracle, my child.
Hey.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Did I do good, Mother? Yes.
Yes, you did.
