V

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 called 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.

His 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...

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.

As 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.

I understand 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. - 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?

Have 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.
