Compromising one's principles for the greater good is not a shameful act.
S1 E1Pilot
Under the right conditions and enough time gratitude can morph into worship -- or even worse: devotion.
S1 E2There Is No Normal Anymore
FTFather Travis
Establishing ties with the visitors is a good thing, Jack. More souls to save. You'll see.
(looking at herself in the mirror dressed in a kimono) 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.
The Visitors, they traced the call.
How's that possible?
How is any of this possible? Dale was my partner, he was one of them. He's been my partner for 7 years, long before the ships showed up. Anyone could be a Visitor. Jack, go home. Jack, go home.
What?
Go home. Act normal. Pretend this never happened.
Wait, we can't just walk away from this.
We can't attack it head-on. It's too dangerous. I have to figure out what to do. Go home. Don't trust anyone. Anyone.
You're an FBI agent?
You're a friggin' priest?
S1 E3A Bright New Day
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 Visitors have sleeper cells everywhere.
Yeah, and so do we. The Fifth Column is down but it's not out. We can win this.
And if John May gets into this?
He'll bring an army.
You got your Visa today, huh?
Yeah.
So, what do you think about New York?
Still getting the hang of this whole Earth thing, you know?
Yeah, me too.
I wanna be useful. I wanna 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 are the V's doing it like this? Why the infiltration? Why the sleeper cells? Why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with?
Because they're smart and patient and whatever their plan is, they need us for something. And until we figure out what that is we have to fight them the same way they're fighting us: one step at a time.
S1 E4It's Only the Beginning
This is the propulsion system we use on each of our twenty-nine ships. This... is the engine room.
Tyler': (enraptured) You gotta be kidding me.
No human has ever seen this before. You are the first, Tyler. (smiles) I thought you'd like it.
Everything that I've told you is true.
Except that you're a Visitor.
(talking about how to react against the Vs) The more predictable we are, the more vulnerable we are.
(To Father Jack) Pretty soon you need to decide what you are. A priest or soldier.
S1 E5Welcome to the War
I feel like something's changed inside me.
We're all changing. I just made a deal with the Devil. I broke every oath that I have sworn to protect. I don't know what I'm thinking.
You're thinking about protecting your son, the ones you love.
Welcome to the war.
