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 I'm gonna walk out of here alive.

- But you and John Fierro must. - You want me to leave?

- Prove me right about you, 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 Cohn's building.

If you would have stopped the Fifth Column,

then maybe Dad would be alive!

Tyler...

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 mother ship...

That you've embraced the pilot training program.

Yes. 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 D.N.A.

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.

Soon, the landing sites for our breeding ships

can begin construction, and with Tyler aboard,

we can begin the next phase of interbreeding.

I'm surprised you didn't bring a hatbox.

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

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

Yeah.

Look, Hobbes...

Thanks for the offer to let me stay here.

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

You know, twelve years in the church,

and my whole life fits into two duffel bags.

What's the over-under on you two

killing each other within the week?

Erica, I've been 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 wanna talk about it.

I'm sorry.

Who the hell is that?

That is Fierro... 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

to 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 gonna give her one.

Let him in.

John Fierro, this is Kyle Hobbes, Jack Landry...

My top lieutenants.

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 I.D.s have gotten me

- in and out of the East a 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 they need to be.

Red Rain should have infused him

with more than enough phosphorus for interbreeding.

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?

Rafael, a young man from Barcelona.

He is our most promising.

Arrange for Rafael to visit with Lisa.

What if she rejects him?

Lisa will breed with whomever I tell her to.

Tyler, you're gonna be a great pilot.

Really? I passed my physical?

Yes.

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

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

Go get ready. Tyler...

I'm counting on you.

It'll be easier to explore Rafael'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.

but his decision to hand over leadership was unilateral

and unnecessary.

We already have many plans in motion, Agent Evans,

including a strike to avenge Eli's death.

Oh, the suicide bombings?

The attacks against innocent humans?

You're throwing pebbles at a giant.

I told you this was a waste of time.

Stop. If we are going to defeat the V's,

we need to change tactics.

Eli died at the hands of the Visitors

because his plan didn't work.

We are 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 worth.

Tyler's very excited about the pilot training 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 Rafael.

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 Rafael.

Don't question me again.

Hi. How'd the meeting go?

Eli Cohn'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 us 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 live-aboards.

When I interviewed Anna last week, she said that

the next batch of live-aboards to come up will be the last.

If Anna's stopping live-aboards...

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.

Anna's daughter is working against her?

Anna can never find out.

Get to Lisa. Tell her I sent you.

Sid, where are you in 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 so far, all the ones I've 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... Avner Nizani.

Were you able to find this Nizani?

He's dead. But I kept digging,

looked into his practice.

Turns out all the babies that he delivered eighteen 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 D.N.A. was messed with.

They wouldn't have thought to check for that.

Yeah, I found a common link between the babies who died...

All their mothers suffered from pre-eclampsia.

Many of the mothers also were treated by the same specialist...

Dr. Veena Rai.

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 that thinks he's found Dr. Rai.

If it is Rai, she might know

what the Visitors did to those boys and why.

I wanna 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 advisers.

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.
