V

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 gonna be okay with this assignment?

- I know you two are friends. - That's why you asked for me, isn't it?

Their invasion ships aren't on the way. They're already here.

Having control over humans through bliss...

I can stop any resistance.

Blissing one human nearly killed you. Are you sure this is wise?

Why is that traitor here?

We are surrounded by an invasion fleet. We are out of options.

- (Lisa) 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.

Oh. (Panting)

- (Whispers) Oh. - What are you doing?

Oh.

What, another nightmare about the Visitors?

Yeah.

And what the future will look like

when Anna is gone.

Well, 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. She said it was an emergency.

She wouldn't give me any more information

- till we were 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 at the sky, I see 29 ships.

Beyond them, hundreds more.

I want to look to the sky and see God again.

I'm with you.

You know that ship better than anyone.

You wanna 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.

Okay.

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. Now I wanna know the plan,

and why you wouldn't tell me until now.

I didn't want you to have too long to think about it.

In order 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.

Ever since the failed assassination attempt,

her security won't let anyone get 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 will 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 are willing to give up 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.

(Indistinct conversations, scattered cheers and applause)

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 my daughter's whereabouts?

Fifth Column's instructed us to bring you to Jack Landry.

If you agree to meet with him, he'll give you the location

where you're expected to trade yourself for your daughter.

Something, of course, we can never allow to happen.

No. We want to use a body double.

That'll keep you safe.

The Fifth Column said they would kill Lisa

if I didn't meet their exact demands.

If they were to suspect it wasn't me,

- wouldn't I be putting her at risk? - There is not a mother on earth

who wouldn't sacrifice her life for the life of her child's.

I wouldn't trade Tyler's safety for anything.

But our priority is to keep you safe.

And we can't let you go in there. I'll give you a minute.

Tell the FBI I will meet with Jack Landry.

Anna's off the ship.

She took the bait and 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 has 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,

you 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's behind this will pay.

My Queen.

The tracker traced the human scent from the envelope.

We have located Lisa. She's alone.

Her captors must've 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
