V

Previously on V...

Today we welcome the very first group of humans

selected to participate in our "Live Aboard" program.

I'm moving up on that ship mom

and there's nothing you can do about it.

Members of our race are falling prey to human emotions.

Everyone will be tested. You failed.

The test has to be wrong.

I want you to investigate the Fifth Column.

My intel says they were planning a terrorist attack

against the visitors.

Anna's worried about a group of resistance fighters.

If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

I've started looking into the group you told me about.

I might have something for you.

There it is! Hurry up!

We've got 45 seconds to acquire target or the battery's spent.

Do it!

Say good night, geckos.

Come on. Let's check it out.

Something's not right.

Jack! No.

Jack, get back here!

We gotta split now. We don't have time for this.

God in heaven...

Got someplace to be, Evans? No.

Just trying to figure out how to schedule the...

Hello? Ryan?

Yeah, hold on.

Ryan? What's happening?

Jack, the cops are almost here.

We gotta get out of here before someone sees us.

There might be survivors.

You need to tell me what you're seeing out there..

Ryan? There are no survivors

Jack, they're gone, mate. We can't do nothing for them.

What's going on?

Ryan, talk to me.

It wasn't a V tracker team on that shuttle.

They were humans.

What?

Listen, Jack, come on! We're going!

Our shuttle was successfully shot down,

as you expected it would.

The human remains have been found.

There will be a strong public outcry.

Human law enforcement will take swift and immediate action

against those responsible for this atrocity.

Fifth Column.

Ryan, it's Joshua.

What's going on, Joshua?

Since you stopped the soldier that was sent after val,

Anna knows that

the Fifth Column's growing stronger.

I've received word from other Fifth Column on the ship

she's sending a shuttle down filled with trackers

to locate those responsible. Trackers? When?

Today.

Ryan...

If those trackers hit the ground and disperse,

it'll be impossible to locate them all.

I can't let 'em hit the ground.

We just have to blow that shuttle up before it lands.

No human technology can knock one down.

But v technology could.

If I could acquire a missile,

could we alter it so it could breach a v shuttle's defenses?

Only if v code was uploaded

to the secret electronics in the missile's computer chip.

Then get me that code.

You don't have much time. You have to move fast.

You're dropping your right.

Yeah?

I suppose you could do better.

I wouldn't want to embarrass you...

More.

Oh, are you backing down from a challenge?

I must be mistaken.

I thought you were special Agent Erica Evans.

Really?

Yeah. Okay.

Uh-oh. Mm-hmm.

Need help with those gloves?

I got it. Thanks.

Step aside, priest. Oh.

It's like "thorn birds" in here.

They let girls box here, eh?

Yeah. Women, too, I've heard.

You know the sport? I have four brothers.

I learned a thing or two about fighting.

Who's your favorite boxer?

Sugar Ray leonard- lightning hands,

fast on his feet, good balance, never off his form.

You're bursting with opinions this morning, Hobbes.

Who's yours?

Jack!

Hey.

We need to get our hands on a stinger missile.

Finally some fun around here.

What are you talking about, Ryan?

Anna's sending down a shuttle filled with v trackers

to hunt down those responsible for stopping her soldier--

that would be us. Trackers?

Yeah, they have heightened senses.

They're like soldiers, but they blend in.

They could--they could follow a scent, work a crime scene,

evaluate evidence.

Why not just send another soldier after us?

Oh, she will, but first, she'll send the trackers

to identify us, paint targets on our foreheads.

Then she'll send the soldiers to finish us off.

When's the shuttle coming?

6:00. But it's never gonna get here.

Because we're gonna blow it out the sky.

What? You can't be serious.

Hold on. We're talking about blowing up a shuttle?

No, we're talking about blowing up a v shuttle.

But you're right to be worried on one count.

Strategically, we can't have Fifth Column

coming off like terrorists.

We'll need to control the public blowback if we do this thing.

There won't be any. The last thing Anna wants is

a big media mess--fbi crawling all over the wreckage--

not with the v remains on the site.

All she's gonna do is just say there was a shuttle malfunction

so they can clean it up with no interference.

Are we really considering this? My son flies on those shuttles.

People fly on those shuttles.

Exactly. How do we know that no one innocent will be hurt?

Joshua's already confirmed that there's only gonna be v trackers

on those shuttles. No humans.

What if it lands on a house or a school?

I know the flight plan.

Okay, it's landing in a remote location.

And make no mistake, if that shuttle touches the ground,

we don't stand a chance. Those trackers--they will find us.

You want to risk your own life over a fit of conscience,

that's fine.

How about Tyler's?

Ryan, is your intel good?

Perfect.

Do it.

Finding peace, father?

Some days easier than others.

Even for a priest?

For everyone, Chad.

I've been on the ship a lot since the last time we talked.

Anna has the live aboards eating out of the palm of her hand.

And I know in my gut,

it's not safe for them to be so trusting.

I want to join the fight.

I was hoping you could point me to the Fifth Column,

like we talked about.

It's been quiet,

I'm afraid, among my parishioners.

Well, that's too bad.

I could be very useful.

I'm behind the scenes with Anna.

I travel with her and Marcus.

I have unrestricted access to and from the mother ship.

I even travel in the v-only shuttles.

I overhear things.

You ride the v-only shuttles?

I'm back and forth in them all the time.

I could be a big asset to the Fifth Column, father.

You riding the shuttles today?

Yes. Most days I do.

Maybe you should stay away

from the v-only shuttles today, Chad.

What do you mean by that?

Just some whisper among the parishioners.

It might not be safe.

I understand.

Thank you, father.

Are you alright?

She had a nightmare last night.

About what?

Here. I--I'll put her down for a nap.

It's no trouble.

You can tell me.

Um, in my dream,

I was being taken by doctors

down a dark corridor here on the ship.

And there were glowing arrows on the ceiling.

I'm new to "live aboard, " and I was scared.

I couldn't tell them to stop.

And then there were needles,

hundreds of them,

being poked into me,

all over.

I know it was just a dream, but I can't shake it.

Can't shake what?

How real it felt.

You're alright.

It was just a nightmare.

You're safe up here.

Good morning.

Good morning, Chad.

I really enjoyed your report on the "live aboard" program.

I just wanted to thank you.
