It Started like any other day...
Morning, father Jack.
The usual pressures and concerns...
- Yeah, mom? - You're in big trouble.
The moments of possibility...
She's gonna love it.
- Until a strange tremor signaled... - Tyler!
Mom!
The impossible was upon us.

The Visitors had arrived.
My God.
We are at peace always.
Although their presence incited a global panic...
29 ships now hovering over the major cities of the world.
The Visitors claimed they meant no harm.
We're honored to be able to assist mankind.
With our knowledge and technology.
To some, they were saviors.
- They healed me. - People are jamming.
The newly opened Visitor healing centers.
An irresistible attraction...
- Peace ambassador program? - You sign up, hang out with V's,
learn about our culture.
- Others had their doubts... - It bothers me that they showed up.
- Right when we need them the most. - But those who know the truth...
- I need your help. It's starting. - Know the Visitors...
- This guy is a terrorist. - Must be stopped.
- He's part of a sleeper cell. - That's what I've been trying to tell you.
A sleeper cell of Visitors.
Now as the Visitors infiltrate the world's borders...
- They need us for something. - The U.S. is a lynchpin.
The remaining countries will follow.
- A resistance is growing. - We gotta build in ranks.
Maybe we can find other people who wanna fight.
But it must strike fast...
- Because this... - Skin him.
Is only the beginning.
Get down!

Don't be frightened. We mean no harm.
After we've replenished ourselves,
we'll share with you what we can.
We will leave you hopefully better than we found you.
Anna's address and the Visitor ships.
Hovering over 29 of the world's major cities.
Left no doubt that a new era had dawned.
But FBI agent Erica Evans was wary of their presence.
- They're calling themselves the Visitors. - You say that like it bothers you.
Well, Visitors are old friends who drop by for a drink.
Erica sensed a link between the arrival of the Visitors.
And the activities of a terrorist cell.
She and her partner Dale had been monitoring.
As of yesterday, they're suddenly looking to acquire large amounts of c-4.
Why do that unless you're going after a target, like, say us.
While we're distracted?
Hey, how are you with all of this? Are you and Tyler okay?
We're fine. Did you hear from the ex?
He left a message.
He wanted us to know he's okay.
You know that I'm here for you, anything you need.
We'll hit the ground running tomorrow. Go be a mom.
Mom, it's starting. Yeah.
Here... here is Anna. She is now...
The world watched, captivated,
as Anna made a statement at the united nations.
Damn, she's hot. I know, right?
Right here, guys.
This is an inspiring moment for us all...
Mankind and Visitors coming together.
But despite the Visitors' convincing show of goodwill,
the media still had questions.
How do you explain the similarities between Visitors and humans?
Our scientists say it's impossible.
- Our scientists can explain it. - Why don't you explain it?
Hey, why don't you show some respect?
Among them was New York City news anchor Chad Decker.
- Do you have a question? - Yeah, I have a question.
Is there such a thing as an ugly Visitor?
I don't understand.
Oh, you all seem to be what we consider attractive.
Thank you. You're not so bad yourself.
In the midst of all the chaos and, yes, even hostility from some,
came something unexpected from our new friends...
A sense of humor.
Stay with us. We'll be right back.
I want him.
Only a few weeks after their arrival,
the Visitors had already begun to deliver on their promise.
To bring about positive change.
The newly opened Visitor healing centers.
Are drawing huge crowds.
People afflicted with one of the 65 ailments the V's can cure.
Are jamming the centers, hoping for their own personal miracle.
Erica and Dale were hard at work.
Tracking the terrorist cell they suspected.
Was stockpiling a supply of c-4 compound.
Upon searching the cell's hideout,
they found the explosives...
Along with something much more gruesome.
The examiner says the body's been dead less than a day,
but he was tortured before he was killed.
They've been printing fake docs... passports, I.Ds.
Best fakes I've ever seen.
It's a major operation, but no one was here.
They cleared out like they knew we were coming.
When Erica and Dale went to search the victim's house,
it was already ransacked,
but they came across a text message.
With an important lead.
"To all attending tonight. Location... 4400 pier Avenue,
Brooklyn, 10:00 P.M. pass code.
"If you're new, be prepared for the test.
Any info you can share about this cell is important."
If you have info about a sleeper cell,
you call the cops. You don't go to a meeting.
As a gesture of friendship, the Visitors invited.
The citizens of earth to tour their mother ships.
Excited by the opportunity,
Erica's son Tyler was one of the first aboard.
Hello.
Welcome to the New York mother ship.
My name is Lisa.
Have you heard about our new peace ambassador program?
You sign up, hang out with V's, learn about our culture.
You even get a uniform.
Tyler was charmed by Lisa, and at home,
Erica had already discovered.
- Her son's new enthusiasm for the Visitors. - V's rule!
I called Brandon's folks to kind of, you know, spread the joy.
They weren't surprised.
They said that you two are obsessed with the V's.
I'm not obsessed.
Really? You and me, we talk. What's going on with you?
Is it because of your dad? Is it because he left?
At least he has an excuse to be out of touch with his kid.
The Visitors' presence stirred mixed emotions.
Father Jack Landry, a catholic priest,
was among those who found their influence troubling.
"We're all God's creatures"?
That's how the Vatican explains the existence of aliens?
Yes.
- They decided that in a day? - Yes.
Rattlesnakes are God's creatures, too. Doesn't mean they're good for us.
Have faith in our leaders, Jack.
All we can do is pray and minster to our congregation.
Our congregation amounts to two bag ladies, a heroin addict and Roy.
That may be, father Landry, but we will minister to any size...
Congregation.
No one is saying, "don't trust the Visitors."
Don't they need to earn our trust?
It's something we all need to think about.
You're right to question the V's.
Are you all right?
I know the real reason they're here, father, and I am not the only one.
The real reason?
The V's are gonna obliterate us.
You're bleeding!
I was coming to see you. The V's did this to me.
- Let me get you some help. - No, no, no.
Take this and go to this address.
And give it to the people there.
All right, all the information's inside.
Hey.
- Ready for lunch? - Oh. Yeah.
Ryan Nichols was a businessman with a mysterious past.
When the Visitors arrived, his suspicious behavior.
Caught the attention of his fiancée Valerie.
- Who was that? - It's no one.
You've been getting a lot of calls from "no one."
Just... don't read things into things, okay?
It was no one.
Ryan. Stay away from me, Georgie.
Ryan, please.
Look, I told you I'm not that guy anymore, okay? Stop calling.
We need your help.
She doesn't know about my past, okay?
I'd like to keep it that way.
That's where we're meeting if you change your mind...
Or grow a conscience.
People were becoming increasingly uncertain.
About the Visitors' intentions.
So in an effort to temper the growing protests,
Anna arranged another opportunity to address the public.
Thanks again for choosing me to do this. I'm really excited.
So are we.
Just be sure not to ask anything that would paint us in a negative light.
Excuse me?
We can't be seen in a negative light.
Don't you want to elevate your career?
Good evening and welcome.
Tonight, "prime focus with Chad Decker"
is proud to present.
An up close and personal interview with Anna,
the Visitor high commander.
On behalf of all of us, I wanna thank you.
For this opportunity to get to know you a little better.
Thank you, Chad,
and please, feel free to ask anything and everything.
I'm here to discuss all topics without reserve.
While Chad was wrestling with Anna's duplicitous nature,
Erica and Dale followed the tip from the text message.
And arrived at the mysterious meeting place...
This is a word-of-mouth group.
You're here because someone we trust personally referred you.
Only to discover a much more unusual gathering than expected.
I want you to confirm that you see skull bone.
For what? To ensure that you're not a Visitor.
In order to walk among us, they disguise their appearance.
By cloning human flesh over their own reptilian skin.
The Visitors didn't just get here.
They've been here for years.
Do you have any proof?
You know, other than scary stories being passed around the Internet.
Who referred you?
It doesn't matter. I'm leaving.
Wait, wait. I have proof... I think.
It's a bunch of photos... supposedly Visitors living on earth.
This guy is a terrorist. He's part of a sleeper cell.
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
- A sleeper cell of Visitors. - Yeah, a sleeper cell of Visitors.
Get down!
The ambush by a gang of sleeper Visitors.
Revealed the truth about Erica's trusted partner.
Uhh!
Uhh! Aah!
And when Ryan appeared to help beat back the attackers,
he came clean to Georgie about his own identity.
They are animals! No.
Not all of them.
There's others out there like me... other traitors.
We'll help.
What do we do now?
We help build a resistance.
We recruit,
bring more into the fold.
Tonight we're announcing the expansion of our healing centers.
The goal is to open one in every major city across the world.
- We have to fight. - Oh, we'll fight.
We want to provide complete medical services to all.
- Universal health care? - I believe that's what you call it, yes.
They have a big head start.
They're arming themselves with the most... powerful weapon out there.
Yeah? What's that?
Devotion.
To the Dawn of a new day.
We are of peace always.
I don't know who to trust anymore.
I can't get the image of Dale just lying there out of my head.
The ambush at the resistance meeting left Erica and Jack shaken.
The truth was, anyone could be a Visitor,
and when a V ship arrived at the warehouse.
To erase all evidence of the bloodshed,
Erica and Jack attempted to alert the authorities...
9-1-1. What's your emergency?
- Oh, my God. It's a massacre. - Ma'am, don't hang up.
I need to confirm that address with you again.
Only to realize just how closely they were being watched.
Hang up. Hang up! Hang up!
The Visitors' reach was far greater than they could have imagined.
Go home. Don't trust anyone.
Anyone.
At the bureau,
Erica kept her knowledge of Dale's true identity a secret,
but it was clear that he had been the one.
Tipping off the criminal cells they'd been tracking.
Every time we went to nail this terrorist cell,
Dale would make a tip-off call to the same number,
20, 30 minutes before.
I ran it all down, number by number, case by case.
Well, the scary thing is he's still in the wind.
I don't think he'll show his face again.
Driven by his conscience, Jack felt compelled to tell the authorities.
About the man who had died in his church
and went to meet with the Visitor threat assessment task force.
Jack? What are you doing here?
I work here.
- You're an FBI agent? - You're a freakin' priest?
Father Landry?
We're ready for you.
You gave them the pictures what the hell were you thinking?
A man died giving me those pictures.
I gave them to the task force 'cause I thought they could help.
They're supposed to be on our side, aren't they?
So was my partner. Look where that got us.
The Visitors' propaganda machine continued in full force,
working to create diplomatic ties with the nations of the world.
I'm told in Japan, this conveys both a respect for tradition.
And the allure of submission.
I'm not sure that's the message you want to send.
You still don't understand humanity.
Now that Erica knew the V's true nature,
she was anxious about Tyler's safety.
It is really important to me that you don't get involved
with the Visitors.
I know they're exciting and kinda cool, but...
For me, can you do that?
Yeah. I mean, if it... if it's that big of a deal to you, um...
No more Visitor stuff.
But Tyler couldn't resist the allure of the Visitors,
especially his new friend Lisa.
Can I see that?
Did I do it right?
Perfect.
The attack at the warehouse.
Reignited Ryan's commitment to building a resistance.
He hoped to recruit others like him to join the fight...
V's who had turned against their own kind.
You know anybody looking to get back into the fight?
That's really why you came, isn't it?
- Just give me some names. - Whatever they're gonna do to the humans,
it's nothing compared to what they'll do to traitors like me and you.
- Take my advice... head for the hills. - Can't. There's a woman. Human.
Oh, God. Don't tell me you're in love with her.
Despite the personal complications,
Ryan was determined to resurrect a covert organization of traitor V's.
- And divulged his plan to Georgie. - You ever heard of John May?
- Guy's a myth. - No, he's not a myth. He's real.
John May is the leader of the Fifth Column.
First group of Visitors to ever turn against the leadership...
He started it. The Fifth Column is down, but it's not out.
We can win this.
But not all of Ryan's old acquaintances.
Were prepared to reenlist.
A member of the Fifth Column named Cyrus.
Had turned against the rebel faction.
I gotta turn you over to them now. They're on their way.
- What did they promise you? - They told me they'd reconnect me.
They're not gonna reconnect you, Cyrus!
They're gonna get as many Fifth Column out of you as they can.
And then they're gonna skin you alive. That's what they're gonna do!
Don't you miss it?
Everything Anna gave to us... don't you miss the bliss?
The bliss is how she controlled us, Cyrus.
Just like junkies, man. And that's what you are.
I'll be reconnected. They promised me!
You gotta be alive to be reconnected.
Val?
Rebuilding the Fifth Column would be dangerous work...
And Ryan would not be the only one in harm's way.
Hello?
You really care about this woman,
you'll get as far away from her as possible.
If I stay with her, I can protect her, so I'm not going anywhere.
You sure about that?
- Yeah, 100%. - Valerie Stevens... psychotherapist.
- She has a heart condition. - Did you do something to her?
No. I wouldn't touch her.
But they will, if they find her, and if I can do it, so can they.
You really want to put her in the cross fire?
Chad felt exploited after his last interview with Anna.
And decided to prove he was more than just a pawn.
In the V's public relations campaign.
Today "prime focus" takes a look at the question that's on everyone's minds.
Do the Visitors deserve our trust?
Joining me in the discussion are congressman Harold stern, a pro-V advocate,
and Marion Geiger taking the anti-V position.
- Mr. Decker? - Anna.
I didn't hurt you with my show today. I helped.
I can't control what our government does,
but I can and do influence public opinion,
and in the end, that's what'll make the difference.
You really believe that.
This one was a freebie.
The next time you want my help, it'll be on my terms.
Ultimately, Chad's bold strategy worked in the Visitors' favor.
The U.S. and the Visitors have agreed to the commencement of diplomatic relations.
As a first step, limited number of Visitors.
Will be able to apply for visas.
That will allow them to travel freely within our borders.
On behalf of all Visitors,
I want to extend my warmest appreciation to the United States.
Thank you for your trust.
Diplomatic relations with the Visitors isn't gonna make our job any easier.
Neither is the fact that the V task force ignored the pictures I gave 'em.
Well, there are probably Visitors on the V task force.
At least we have this.
What's that?
I swiped it from the V task force...
Anyone and everyone.
Who's ever contacted the FBI about aliens or Visitors.
Maybe we can find other people who want to fight,
maybe even some of the people from the warehouse.
We can't be the only ones who know the truth.
Onboard the mother ship, concern was growing.
About the underground resistance movement.
Do we know if any of these people are from the first attempt at a resistance?
Not yet.
I want names.
And one of their own...
Had returned.
It's a bright new day in America.
After weeks of heated debate and speculation about the government's decision,
today the us granted the V's diplomatics relations.
Controversy surrounding the Visitors was escalating.
Although the world's leaders.
Had granted them access to our borders, the public protests raged on.
And in private, fear and confusion permeated even the most sacred sanctuaries.
Are the V's demons or angels?
Who am I to question the Pope?
- Does God even really exist? - My faith feels so weak.
I feel..
Lost.
I want to be useful. I want to be able to look people in the eye and say,
"God loves you, and everything's gonna be fine."
How do I tell them that? I don't even know what to tell myself anymore.
I know how you feel.
Why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with?
They need us for something.
I was up most of the night going through this list,
trying to find anyone who was at the warehouse with us.
- Any luck? - I've narrowed it down to a couple hundred.
Good.
Evans.
Yeah.
I have to go to the peace ambassador center.
There's been a death threat against the V's.
This is a volatile situation.
Paired with a member of the Visitors' security team,
Erica went to work tracking a sniper on the loose.
There's a guard missing, corner of the building.
He stole a V jacket.
The shooter is wearing a V jacket.
Gun! Aah!
Everybody down!
- Stay down! - Control, suspect down.
Do you copy? Suspect is down.
But the sniper attack was a stunt,
orchestrated by Anna to garner publicity.
Well done today.
Her official duty fulfilled,
Erica did some investigation of her own...
And discovered the Visitors had adapted their uniforms.
Into sophisticated surveillance tools.
Breaking the promise he had made to his mother,
Tyler's association with the Visitors.
Was growing even stronger as he and Lisa grew closer.
Ty!
I'm so sorry. I...
My mom doesn't like the V's.
Stay here, and...
And I'll... I'll be right back. God, I hate her.
Hey! You are here.
Yeah. Hey, what's up?
- You okay? - Yeah.
I...
Okay.
Take her home.
We'll talk later.
I thought this would be better than your mom seeing me in my uniform.
Searching through the stack of FBI profiles,
Jack came across a familiar face.
Mr. Sutton?
Jack learned why Georgie was so driven to bring down the Visitors.
What are you doing in here?
I'm sorry. I, uh...
I'm, uh, looking for George Sutton.
His family... they were all killed.
He went a little crazy after that.
He said aliens did it.
It's really important that I speak with him.
If you have any way of contacting him, would you, please?
You can tell him I was at the warehouse.
He'll know what that means.
On the mother ship, Dale had regained consciousness.
But had no recollection of the ambush at the warehouse.
We're still unsure if he's going to remember anything.
He has to.
He was a highly placed sleeper for almost 20 years.
We have to know if he was compromised, and if so, by whom.
Where are we?
I made this construct based on your neural scan.
Sometimes familiar places can bring up memories.
Do you recognize anything?
Joshua helped Dale put the missing pieces together.
I worked here. My desk was right over...
That's a good sign.
If you can remember your life, then what happened on that night
is going to come back to you.
Erica...
She saw my true face. She knows.
We gotta go.
You're sure Erica was the only one who saw you?
Sure.
And she was meeting with other human resistance members.
She's not even gonna know what hit her.
You're right, because I'm not letting you go back down.
Come again?
If half the things that you say about Erica are true,
she's going to make an excellent ally.
To protect the burgeoning resistance...
You son of a bitch. You're a traitor.
Joshua took Dale out for good.
The Fifth Column says hello.
The Visitors were on high alert
to the underground threat posed by a resurging Fifth Column.
And in an effort to further control public perception,
Anna summoned the captains of all 29 ships.
Though we continue to gain ground in diplomatic areas,
we must not underestimate.
The importance of popular opinion among humanity.
Opinions can easily change.
Monitor them,
and if necessary,
shape those opinions within your territories.
But a few had already made up their minds.
Heard you were looking for me.
What do you want from me?
We're trying to find anyone who survived.
We need to stick together.
Every time we try to come together,
they crush us.
There's strength in numbers.
Meeting in secret, the four key members of the new resistance joined forces.
How do you know so much about the V's?
You got nothing to worry about with Ryan.
If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead right now.
But the battles of the first resistance were history.
The Visitors had a new plan.
Tyler's the one. We should use him.
You're doing an excellent job.
Thank you, mother.
- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Absolutely. Can you give me two minutes?
Erica's preoccupation with the Visitors.
Left her with little time for anything else.
She was suspicious about Ryan's motives for joining the resistance.
But his background check revealed no clues.
I understand you have some exciting news to share with us today.
With public support for the Visitors on the rise,
Anna made an announcement.
We've developed an injection... call it a vitamin supplement...
Designed to strengthen the immune system.
Ryan knew the vitamin injections were part of a bigger plan.
And led his new partners on a stakeout to obtain further information.
Their target was a sleeper V named Peter Combs.
Who was working as a chemist.
But Georgie wanted vengeance for his murdered family.
Hey, Combs.
I'm gonna cut you open and show the world what you are.
Georgie?
But instead of giving up any information...
You can't stop us, filthy traitor!
The V made an unusual escape.
No!
You're a Visitor.
We're on the same side, Erica.
Everything that I've told you is true.
How does a priest know the way around a bullet wound?
Army chaplain. Two tours in Iraq.
You know, pretty soon, you're gonna need to decide what you are...
A priest or a soldier.
With a degree of trust established between them,
Erica had questions for Ryan.
- What happened to Combs? - Suicide pill.
Leaves no real evidence behind, nothing but Ash.
He called you a traitor.
Are there other V's like you fighting against Anna?
They're called the Fifth Column.
This just looks like paperwork. Wait a minute.
He would get all of his supplies from his department, right?
Probably.
So what's his connection to the Lyndhurst shipping company?
Let's go check it out.
The invoice led them to a makeshift lab,
where they found human remains and large quantities of R6 compound.
Along with shipments of flu vaccine.
Ready for distribution.
They're not mixing their drug into the vitamin shot.
They're mixing it into our flu vaccine.
Shipment leaves tomorrow.
Anna learned that Dale, the sleeper V, had been murdered.
And ordered an investigation.
We can't afford any kind of dissonance among our people.
The members of the fifth column onboard the mother ship.
Were in danger of being exposed.
You have to get off the ship. I am not running.
- You're too important. The column needs you. - You'll carry on, and so will the others.
No, you cannot be sacrificed no matter what.
I won't let it happen.
Unless the guilty party steps forward to take responsibility,
I'm gonna need to choose one of you.
To set an example.
The innocent will suffer.
Putting the welfare of the resistance.
Before his own life,
Joshua's accomplice made the ultimate sacrifice.
Long live the Fifth Column.
Joshua,
as lead medical officer, you will carry out the sentence.
Skin him.
I can't talk to my mom anymore.
Tyler met with his therapist, Valerie,
to vent his frustrations about the conflict at home.
- She thinks the V's are evil. - And how do you see them?
The world's broken. They're fixing it.
All we do is, we get in their way.
I thought it might take longer,
but I think Tyler's ready.
Good. Bring him up to the ship.
As instructed, Lisa brought Tyler for a visit...
Oh, my God. That... that's Anna.
Do you know her or...
Yeah. That's my mom.
Don't worry. She doesn't bite.
And Joshua carried out the sentence.
- I can't do this. - She suspects you.
That's why she's making you do it. You have to.
Lisa's happiness has always been the highest priority for me.
She's quite taken with you.
Me, too. I mean, you know, with her.
Good. I'm glad. I wanted to make sure you felt the same.
I think it's universal instinct for mothers to be protective of their young.
This...
is the engine room.
You've gotta be kidding me.
No human has ever seen this before.
You are the first, Tyler.
Miraculous medical breakthroughs were taking place.
At the healing centers established by the Visitors.
Valerie was concerned about symptoms she thought were related to her heart condition.
It is a condition we can heal.
Oh, my God. That's wonderful. I... I was just looking for a change in meds.
The diagnostic also turned up something else.
Something else?
Chad underwent a body scan as part of his latest news report.
But the scan turned up some distressing results.
- You think I'm gonna die? - Had you not come here, almost certainly.
In approximately six months,
you will develop a basilar artery aneurysm.
But the good news is, we can heal you.
The bad news is.
There is a long waiting list.
Though I suppose if you're open to it,
we could work something out.
The Visitors' plan to mask the R6 compound.
With human flu vaccine was a terrifying prospect.
When this shipment mask mingles with the real shots,
no one will be able to tell the difference.
And no government agency's gonna be worrying about a flu vaccine.
When they've got a V vitamin to evaluate.
They know exactly how to play us.
The media bombards us with stories of epidemics, pandemics.
So we run out. We get a shot to protect ourselves.
That's what e V's are counting on... our human nature.
It's very calculated, isn't it?
Everything that Anna does is calculated.
So what, we... we... we stop doing what makes us human?
All I'm saying is the more predictable we are,
the more vulnerable we are.
I'm gonna keep this as evidence. The rest we destroy.
The V's were alerted to the intrusion,
so Ryan hacked into the fail-safe system,
destroying the lab.
The warehouse containing all of the R6 compound has been lost.
We received a message from the warehouse moments before.
Word has spread quickly. Every ship has heard.
There was already a growing concern, but now there is real fear.
Then we'll have to manage their fear.
Remind everyone that even amid talk of the Fifth Column...
of John May...
They have me.
Using a kind of communion called bliss,
Anna could transmit powerful messages to her people.
Near and far.
The experience was intoxicating.
The past is gone.
The pain you may have caused others... it's behind you.
No looking back.
Just the pulse of time,
invigorating,
soothing.
Bask in my light.
Take comfort knowing I am here.
You will never be alone.
What was that?
We call it bliss.
Some experiences are universal,
containing both the dark and the light.
I wasn't tired 'cause of my meds.
I'm pregnant.
Where there is promise...
We're gonna have a baby!
There is also trepidation.
Faith is tested...
What is it that you need? Are you...
Yet danger is real.
Uhh!
And even the deepest bonds...
"...Invited to the V ship!"
Cannot protect all that we hold dear.
It must be awesome seeing space from one of these ships.
Maybe one day you will.
What you've seen today, Tyler,
is only the beginning.
