Previously on V...

Fifth Column has claimed responsibility

for the peace ambassadors murders earlier this morning.

Cohn is out of control.

That could have been Tyler. I want you to get close to Eli Cohn.

You will help me destroy them. We're all on the same side.

Unlike you, we don't kill innocent people.

Church officials have issued a statement

condemning all anti-V rhetoric from clergy worldwide.

I'm not gonna stop speaking out.

It's priests like him that are inciting the Fifth Column.

Stop! This is the house of God!

That's Tyler's phone. I feel like I'm losing him. I need help.

I did what I had to do to protect our species.

Welcome to the future, Chad...

our future, man and visitor.

This... is Concordia.

Concordia.

Interesting name.

From your Roman mythology,

meaning a peaceful and harmonious coexistence.

Man and visitor working side by side

to build thousands of these centers,

creating jobs and supporting prosperity across the world.

Concordia will employ massive numbers of men and women.

Humans will be constructing the buildings,

staffing the centers of learning and technology.

We've made agreements with nations around the world

to build Concordia on land

that is currently abandoned or in disrepair.

So Concordia is like a...

A worldwide urban renewal project.

Exactly.

I'll be hosting a gala tonight here in New York

to formally announce Concordia,

and tomorrow,

a renaissance begins across the entire planet.

We will celebrate our future,

shared by mankind and Visitors...

Together.

(TV clicks off, remote control clatters)

Stop! This is the house of God!

This is Joe. Leave a message.

Joe, it's me. I need to see you.

It's about our son.

Hey, you.

Happy Birthday.

Thanks, mom.

Okay.

Well, it always tastes better than it looks.

Breakfast birthday cake... Evans family tradition.

Yeah, well, when we were a family.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry, mom. I-I just... I don't know.

I thought that maybe dad would call by now, that's all.

Hey, it's okay. He will. It's early, right?

Have a piece of cake.

Um, actually, I have to meet Lisa

at the peace ambassador center.

Tyler, they're killing peace ambassadors...

kids your age.

Mom, I'm not a kid anymore.

You're right.

You're a man now.

Listen, I need you to remember that there are consequences

for the choices we make.

You may be 18, but I am still your mother.

I will always be here for you.

Thanks, mom.

Thomas, as my chief engineer,

I'm relying on you to make sure

- that Concordia stays on schedule. - It is, my queen.

Landing sites have been selected

for every ship in the fleet in preparation for our invasion.

Perfect.

With the release of red rain,

the human women are almost ready for breeding.

As soon as Joshua is able to eradicate the human soul,

we can proceed.

I fear tonight's gala is a tempting target

for the Fifth Column. A disturbance could hinder

public acceptance of Concordia and delay our plans.

The Fifth Column and Eli Cohn will not be a problem.

Ryan Nichols will make sure of that.

You wanted to see me.

Yeah. Thanks for coming.

I don't understand.

I thought you were with, uh, agent Evans.

I am, but she doesn't know I'm here.

I want this to be kept private, Eli, just between us.

So what do you want from me?

I have a daughter.

Anna's holding her hostage up on that ship.

And the only way I can get her back is to take Anna down.

Our group is too small to do it alone.

You have a bigger network.

We need to work together so we can strike hard.

Well, Erica made it very clear that her cooperation last time

was a one-shot deal,

that our ideological viewpoints of this fight

are diametrically opposed.

Use me.

I can bridge both sides.

She trusts you?

Absolutely.

Good.

As the head of the FBI Fifth Column task force,

she could be quite helpful.

You call her. Get your team together.

Tonight...

We're taking Anna down for good.

We get the wiretap on father Landry yet?

Not yet. Judge has the paper.

Evans, Bolling, clear your schedules.

You're running security for Anna's big shindig tonight.

Guest list.

Paul, it's gonna take weeks to run this many names.

Hey, uh, isn't that your ex?

Yeah. A problem with Tyler.

I had to bring in the heavy artillery.

Heard about you two. Sorry it didn't work out.

Federal officer married to a civilian...

It's always tough.

Runs a little deeper than that.

I'll only be a minute.

- Hi. - Hey.

What's going on with Tyler?

It will be easier to explain after I show you this.

They've been here for decades, Joe.

Anna's waging a war against mankind,

and for some reason, she's targeting our son.

I know it's a lot to grasp. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a hell of a lot.

This, um, missing ladder

within Ty's D.N.A.... Why would they do that?

We think that they wanna put something else in there...

Something not from you or me.

This is crazy.

The high levels of phosphorus in my blood, the preeclampsia...

The visitors did that.

They have been messing with Tyler since before he was born.

And what does... What does Tyler know about all this?

Nothing, and we can't tell him.

If Anna ever thought that he knew,

his life would be in danger.

And then you let... you let him date one of them?

We can trust Lisa.

Who else knows about the visitors,

- about what they really are? - There's a small group of us.

We have to be careful who we tell.

I need your help.

What do you think I can do and why do you think I can help?

The one thing that Tyler wants more than anything else

is his family back together.

And that is the one thing that Anna can't give him.

I need you with me, Joe.

Lisa, what are you doing?

It's for Tyler.

Today is his 18th birthday.

It would raise suspicion if his girlfriend didn't give him a present.

Now that Tyler is 18,

he will no longer be bound to do as his parents command.

He'll be able to make his own choices,

and we must make sure he chooses us.

How can we be sure he'll do that?

Because I can give him something humanity cannot...

A future.

(Indistinct conversations, telephone ringing)

Interesting piece this morning, Chad.

You really think this Concordia project

is all world peace, jobs for everyone,

chicken in every pot?

Anna hasn't promised anything she didn't deliver so far.

Well, all the same, a lot of people are asking hard questions about her,

but not you.

I'm not sure you're the guy to do it.

What's that supposed to mean, Neil?

A few months ago, everybody and their mother was drinking the V kool-aid.

Now people aren't so sure. Ratings are slipping.

I wanna change the format of "Prime Focus"...

add a, uh, critical voice to face off against you.

A kind of point/counterpoint?

Exactly.

We're bringing in talent from Boston, Philly, and D.C. this afternoon.

I'd like you to screen-test if somebody looks promising.

Whatever you need.

I'm surprised you're good with this.

Didn't figure you'd be so willing to share a spotlight.

Bring 'em on.

Going one-on-one with the other side is only gonna make me look better.

Hey.

Hey. Happy Birthday.

Oh. Thanks.

I wanted to get you something

that will always remind you of us.

I love it...

And you.

Tyler...

Um...

Yesterday at the church...

Tyler. Hey.
