Previously on Defiance...

It's going to be
a beautiful wedding.

Sorry I had to cuff you,
Ambassador.

I want everything headquarters
has on Amanda Rosewater.

- This is Connor Lang.
- Where she was born,

who her friends
and family are,

and every man
she's ever slept with

and what she's having
for dinner tomorrow night.

- Quentin!
- Shut up!

If you really want to know
what happened to your mother,

come and see me.

I really need a doctor.

Get your gloves on!

We've got ourselves
a plague.

- Stop!
- Good morning, Defiance.

This is Alak Tarr
on Raider Radio,

broadcasting from the top
of the arch.

Now, I've been asked to pass on
some important information

about the contagion.

- Surgical masks!
- It is viral hemorrhagic fever.

Good for most diseases.

Commonly known
as the I-rath flu.

- Surgical masks, get 'em now.
- There ya are.

Humans and Irathients
both carry the bug,

but Irathients
don't get sick.

So if you're Human
or Irathient,

best thing you can do
is stay indoors,

stay calm, and avoid contact
with others.

Now, this flu spreads
through skin-to-skin contact,

so while gloves
are helpful,

breathing masks are a waste
of your money.

Surgical masks!

So don't bother to spend
your money on a...

How about you?
Surgical masks!

Just try to remain calm

and avoid
all physical contact.

Now remember,
if you're feeling like shtako,

report to the triage tents
on Bexar.

My God. This is horrible.

- How many?
- 6 dead, 21 sick.

Somebody help him!
He needs help!

What can we do?

Contain the bug, keep the sick
comfortable, and hope a cure arrives.

- Arrives from where?
- There was an outbreak in the bay area.

A former colleague,
Eren Niden,

spent months working on
an anti-viral.

If we are lucky,
one of the independent outposts

will relay the message
to San Francisco.

Doctor. Doctor, I'm losing her!

- Are you sweating?
- It's hot.

Sync and corrected by dr.jackson

Rumor's been going around
that a cure is on its way,

special delivery thanks to the
good people of San Francisco.

But in the meantime,

let's groove to some
eine kleine "plague-musik".

Are those E-Rep trucks?

This is gateway arch.
I need to talk to the mayor.

Hi.

- Drinking buddies.
- I really want to know.

Why is there an Earth Republic
Garrison camped outside my town?

Well, this bug has migrated across
the country in a matter of days.

I think they're trying to
prevent it from heading east.

A bit late for that.

Our patient zero was traveling with
an I-rath caravan headed east.

He was intercepted
and destroyed.

They're imposing
a quarantine.

They're serious.

To prevent the spread
of this contagion,

they are more than happy
to let every Human

in this town die,
myself included.

And when we're all dead,
they're gonna roll in here

and they're gonna take
this town over.

And the gulanite mines.

We could put together some
weapons, some mining vehicles,

probably bust through
that barricade.

And what,
risk spreading infection

throughout the rest
of north America?

Look, Earth Republic may be a bunch
of cold-hearted opportunists,

but that doesn't mean
they're wrong.

So what, you're saying
there's no hope?

Mayor, the town council's
asking for you.

There's always hope, and it's
our job to remind people.

Let's go.

Well...

Weren't you stupid
letting that one get away?

Yeah, I was.

She's wrong
about the hope thing.

We're all gonna be dead
very soon.

So, wanna get drunk?

Nah, I'm on the clock.

Suit yourself.

Dirty
I-Raths!

Leave an take your desease with you!

Dirty I-Raths!

- Back away, Haints!
- No.

Go to your homes
before you're infected.

- We're immune to your disease.
- Not if I bite you.

Rathus.

Little Wolf.

Nizar.

- That hurt my hand.
- You'll live.

- How is Sukar?
- Still sleeping the deep sleep.

We came here for more
of his medicine and supplies.

Now Earth Republic soldiers
tell us we can't leave town.

The great sickness has come.

If it spreads, I fear Humans
will once again hunt and kill us.

Little Wolf, will you pray with us?

It's my honor to pray with the family.

Ha.

16 people dead and...
And what?

Another 30 laid up
in the tents?

At the rate we're going, we're never
going to survive the E-Rep quarantine.

The lawkeepers are keeping everyone
inside to contain the spread.

Yeah, well, what about the Irathients?
They are the carriers.

- So are Humans.
- It's not the same thing.

It's time you Humans understood the
truth about the Irathient race.

They carry diseases
like anyone else

but rarely get sick
themselves.

- It's true.
- That's not true.

Now, this has given them
a reputation

amongst other Votan races
as unclean,

as plague carriers.

This reputation
may be rooted in bigotry,

but it's also based
in truth.

There is a reason the
Irathients keep to themselves.

- There is a reason that my people shun them.
- Yeah, a good reason.

This town
is better than that.

Irathient carriers
walk around for weeks,

infecting others,
showing no symptoms.

That's how this bug gets spread,
and it's gotta stop.

- What are you suggesting?
- Confine the I-raths, confine the disease.

We put 'em down in the mines
temporarily.

We've asked them
to stay inside voluntarily.

You can't trust I-raths.

And when did a spirit rider
ever take an order?

- Now Rafe has the right idea.
- I agree.

Ozin, get your head
out of Datak's ass and listen.

All of you.

Now, it took a long time to get
the Spirit Riders to trust us.

We have peace.

Now, if we start imprisoning
healthy Irathients

because they might be
carriers,

we're gonna have an armed
uprising to deal with

on top
of everything else.

Amanda, I have children.

Sending the Irathients to
the mines, temporarily,

would protect them
against bigots.

It'd be a kindness, really.

- We'd be keeping them safe.
- Safe?

Well, let's put it
to a vote, shall we?

Hear us Idanyu of the flame.

There is a storm among our brothers.

Calm the wind and dry the rain.

Stand us once again.

- Irisa.
- Can I come up?

- So you're here to arrest us.
- Well, it's more like sequestering.

- All right, it's a quarantine.
- We're not sick.

But you could be carrying
the virus.

Irisa, don't look at me like that.
You know it's possible.

It's a hard time, and you have
a duty to keep the peace.

I bet you didn't tell Nolan
you were planning this.

No.

Did you really think I'd
agree to let you lock me up?

Lock them up like animals?

I'd appreciate
your cooperation.

I don't require it.

I'll slow them down.

Go around town, gather up our pwople
and get them to safety.

- My place is at your side.
- Rathus, get him out here.

Come on brother,
She knows what she's doing.

Come on.

- Don't make this any harder on yourself.
- I won't.

Hey!
Hands off her!

You get your hands off her.

- Are you hurt?
- I'm fine.

Why don't you ask me,
Nolan?

Little dingbat pushed me
off the damn roof.

You were supposed to let me tell
Nolan before you did anything.

Yeah, well,
I lost track of time.

You let her go, Rafe, or
I start shooting people.

Yeah, well,
you won't get far.

Nobody wants
to hurt the kid,

but I will if you don't
put that damn Cannon away.

Think about it, Nolan.

Every Human in town is afraid of dying.
People are desperate.

If you're Irathient, the best
place to be is out of sight.

- Tell your father it's okay.
- She's not a parrot.

Tell him. He needs
to hear it from you.

I don't like these odds.

Put up the gun.

I'm not gonna let you down.
Not again.

Put up the gun.

All right, let's move.

Nolan.

Are you crazy?

My daughter is down a hole
with a bunch

of slag-head miners who think
she's typhoid Mary.

Look, I know it's hard.

I opposed the council on this,
and I was overruled.

I have to accept it, which means
you have to accept it.

Yeah? Well, Irisa and I
have a rule too.

Rule? What rule? We
live or die together.

She'll be expecting me
to come for her.

She's not. Are you delusional?
You're sweating. Nolan...

So what, all right?

It's hot, and I'm under pressure.
You're sweating too.

- This is about Sukar.
- What?

Yeah, you feel guilty,
she hasn't forgiven you,

so you're gonna prove
what a great dad you are

by getting a lot
of people killed.

Get out of my way, Amanda.

What, are you gonna
shoot me, Nolan?

Hate to interrupt
a moment, but...

It's a message
recorded in San Francisco.

They received
my distress beacon

and dead-dropped anti-viral
meds using an old ICBM.

- We have a cure?
- We have a cure.

Drink this tea.
It'll wake you up.

Why would I want
to be awake?

'Cause we're going on
a little road trip, sweetheart.

The payload drop
with the plague cure

is sitting
out in the badlands,

waiting for us
to pick it up,

and you're gonna talk your bosses into
letting us through that barricade.

Sho-hooch.

- Mandy...
- No skin contact!

Look, I'm fine.
I'm just dizzy, okay?

Go.

Come on.

The lawkeepers are doing everything
they can to control the situation.

If there's a problem, report
it to the nearest deputy.

The town's medical staff
has just informed me

that the plague seems
to progress in stages.

Stage one is coughing
and sweating,

which we've all heard about.

Stage two gets
a lot more serious,

and no one can predict
how quickly it'll come on.

Quentin, love. Hello.

- Are you supposed to be smoking those?
- Cancer is so slow.

Something far more interesting
is bound to kill me first.

I hear a plague
is a popular way to go.

What is it?

You wouldn't be here unless there
was something on your mind.

At my house,

you said you knew
what really happened to my mom.

- So I did.
- So tell me.

You came empty-handed.

You wanted to test me.

You were feeling me out
to be certain

that my information
was reliable.

- So like your father.
- If you know something, tell me.

Don't waste my time.

So much of it
has been wasted already.

Breaks my heart.

Quentin, you've lost so many
nights with your mother.

Don't you dare squander
another one.

- My mom is dead.
- No.

That's the lie
your father told you.

Bring me the object
I am looking for...

The object you killed
Mr. Birch to protect...

And I will tell you
exactly where to find Pilar.

Hey. Hey, move.
Let's go.

In a straight line!
This way, this way!

Hey! Move along.

Make room in the cage.
We've got more coming.

Did they catch the others?

We split up to confuse our pursuers.

- I don't think they caught Nizar.
- Good.

They're going to gas us.

What?
No.

It's how Castis killed us
in the Great Diaspora.

Caves filled up with
chlorine gas.

Irzu's path is circular.

Nolan wont'let that happen.

Nolan is one man.

- You're making a mistake.
- Mom's alive, Luke.

I'm gonna find out
where she is.

Without that,
you'll never see me again.

I figured.

Don't give it to her,
Quentin.

Hello?

My chest is on fire.
Dad, it really hurts.

Yeah, the medicine's coming.
You'll be fine, sweetie.

Rafe, Quentin, this is no
place for healthy Humans.

- She needs us, favi Tarr.
- Where's Doc Yewll?

- My daughter's in pain here!
- We ran out of pain medicine hours ago.

Take this instead. It's an old
world opiate from my own cellar.

It should ease her pain
for a while.

Is this on the level?

Give it to her.

I wonder
if I'll recognize her.

- Who?
- Mom.

Don't talk like that.
You're gonna be okay.

The mayor collapsed in her office!
Her fever is spiking.

Clear the way.

She's gone stage two.
Get me some fluids.

- You're sweating.
- I'm fine.

Seriously,
you look like shtako.

You wanna shut up?

All right.

- Amanda said you served.
- 101st.

Intel. Yep, rear Echelon.

- But you guessed that already.
- Can't say I blame you.

We can't all be heroes.

Well, Amanda must have
seen something.

- For a time.
- How long?

Three years. Had a good run.

How'd it end?

What's up
with all these questions?

I don't know.

Passes the time.
Makes for a pleasant drive.

You cheated on her.

- Is that what you think?
- Am I wrong?

You know, I don't really want
to have this conversation.

Yeah, you cheated on her.

If you want to hook up
with my ex,

maybe you should ask her
all this stuff.

I got her pregnant.

I was scared about bringing up
a kid in the New World,

but I was up
for the challenge.

I'm from a big Irish family.
Sunday dinners every week.

It was exciting. And
I loved Amanda.

More than anything.

But she... I don't know. She
got scared or something.

She aborted the baby
without telling me first.

You're right. This is a
really pleasant drive.

- I'll talk to them.
- We'll do it together.

Turn around, sir.

Return to Defiance,
or I will shoot you.

Keep your hands
where we can see them.

I need to speak
to your commanding officer.

That's far enough,
ambassador.

Colonel Marsh. Good
to see you again.

Hello, Connor.
That's far enough, son.

Ambassador Tennety.

Connor Lang.
I've heard a lot about you.

Wish we could be meeting under
less stressful circumstances.

Me too. Now turn around
and go back to Defiance.

You're under quarantine.

We got a load of anti-virals
two klicks over that Ridge,

payload direct
from San Francisco.

Well, how about we'll pick it
up and we'll bring it to you?

- I don't trust you.
- I can't let you past this barricade.

Your snipers have
a three-klick range, right?

We drive straight to the medicine.
We load the car. We turn around.

We make any wrong turns, any wrong
directions, you take us both out.

I'm sorry, but the stakes
are too high, Connor.

We can't let this thing
spread to the east coast.

You people are still looking to build a
strategic alliance with Defiance, right?

You know we are,
no thanks to your mayor.

You keep these people
from their medicine,

the survivors
are gonna know about it.

They're gonna hold
the Earth Republic responsible.

I'll make sure of that.

Now, I got a town of 6,000
souls in Defiance valley...

Human souls.

If you do not let me provide
them with their medicine,

their deaths
will be on your head.

All right,
I have had it with this guy.

Sergeant.

Stand down!

All right, go.

But you will be in our
sights the entire time.

Thank you, sir.

I hate that bitch.

Okay, now you really
look like shtako.

I'm fine.

Let's just get the meds.

- Okay, just...
- Got it.

- Another bed.
- Over here.

Here. That's good.

Put her... Put her outside.

Gently.

Straight out.
Coming through.

Your husband's been
on the council for six weeks.

He is Castithan
and immune to the sickness.

Don't you think it's safer,
in this time of crisis,

for the town
to have stability?

Save your breath.

You may have talked Datak
on to the council,

but it ends here.

Rafe is the senior
council member.

He'll serve as interim mayor
while I'm recovering.

I understand.

Hear us, Idanyu of the flame.

Hey, keep it down?

The man said shut up!

Hey!

They're praying for you
and the rest of the Humans.

Well, we never asked
for your Votan prayer.

Break it up!

Now!

Come on, Gail.
Leave 'em alone.

That's it.

I said that's it!

Come on, Gail.

Back off! Back off!

Move out of the way!

- Get back!
- Stay back!

Back!

Get outta here.

Relax, relax.

Come on, move!

Move!

Very well.

When your father
came to Defiance,

you and your brother
were small boys.

Christie was just a baby.

Your mother, Pilar,
was sick.

In the old world,
the name for it was bi-polar,

but that's meaningless here.

When the world fell apart,

they stopped making
her medicine.

Well, your father
was desperate.

Now, I was a quartermaster
in the war

and knew how to procure,
well,

challenging items.

With the help
of Datak Tarr,

we were able to keep
poor, fragile Pilar

on the straight and narrow
with old world lithium.

All was well.

The McCawley family
was happy.

Well, gradually,
over time,

and inevitably,
the medicine stopped working.

Well, it's not surprising.

It was more than
a decade old.

I don't need to tell you that
in this world we live in,

there's no place
for the fragile.

Pilar got worse and worse,
until the day when...

Your father
came down the stairs

and found her buttering
your breakfast toast

with rat poison.

Your father would've shot her
on the spot,

but I intervened.

We were having
an affair at the time.

I knew that the guilt
of murdering

the mother of his children
would eat him alive

and destroy any chance
of happiness

he and I might have had.

So our relationship
did not survive,

but against all odds, Pilar did.

Where is she?

Mendocino.

I'll draw you a map.

But first, I'll
need your key card.

You won't need it. Not
if you're heading west.

Doc's gonna have her staff
waiting for us

in the back
of the fight tent.

- Nolan, you need to pull over.
- Why would I do that?

'Cause you're about
to keel over.

You need an injection
right now.

No, people are dying.
I'm not stopping.

Unload the medicine.
We'll take them with us.

I never trusted you.

Yeah, well,
the feeling's mutual, pal.

You claim to be "father of an Irathient"

yet you cage us like animals?

Well, I don't like it any better
than you do, but people are dying.

We gotta get the cure
to the tent.

I got a better idea, okay?

You release the cure,
the Irathients go free,

and then you and me,
we go get a drink.

I don't drink with Humans.

Get a drink?
Now that's a good idea.

I'm buying.

Hail the mayor.

Take it all the way back.

Yep.

She's worse off than I am.
She can barely breathe.

Christie?

Look, I-I-I know this isn't
what we had in mind

when we planned out
our wedding.

But here.

Mr. McCawley,
I'm so sorry to bother you,

but the lawkeeper's
on the mayor's hailer.

Rafe, please, let us
take care of this.

You need to be
with your daughter.

Mr. McCawley,
the mayor was very specific

that you are
her appointed successor.

You little idiot.

Can't you see
my daughter-in-law is sick?

Leave our family in peace.

Hello, Nolan.
Where are you?

Stahma,
put Amanda on the line.

Mayor Rosewater
has taken ill.

My husband
is in charge now.

What's the status, lawkeeper?
Where is the medicine?

In my possession.

I will destroy it
if my demands are not met.

They want Rathus?

Shtako.

That's not really
gonna work.

Rathus is dead.

How in the three hells
did that happen?

The miner feared
for her life.

Release the Irathients.

All of them. Trust me.

Release the Irathients. At once.

This... this man needs
that medicine.

He's gonna die.

This is not
just about me, Nizar.

No, no,
think about what you're doing.

- So many people are gonna die.
- Unwrap one packet and inject him!

- Who are you?
- Datak Tarr.

For simplicity's sake,
you may call me mayor.

I've come unarmed. We've
met your demands.

The Irathients
have been released.

Where's my brother?

There was an altercation
at the mines.

Shots were fired.
Your brother is dead.

I blame the Humans.

I've done a great deal
of soul-searching

on this matter,
and I've come to realize

that this planet
is better off without them.

The disease, this pestilence,
is a cleansing fire,

a gift from Rayetso, Irzu,
all the Votan gods.

The first step
in this great path, of course,

is that we destroy
this cure.

You're willing to wipe out
every Human in this town?

I believe it was a Human
who coined the phrase...

Survival of the fittest.

Please.

Shtako! Shtako!

It's over.

Cut me loose.

I'm sorry
you had to see that.

It doesn't fit
my narrative.

Come on, Nolan. Stop faking.

Just as well.

Explaining away two dead
Humans could prove awkward.

It's over.
I've got the cure.

Kiddo.

- You're supposed to be resting.
- I'll sleep when I'm dead.

- You're an idiot.
- I know.

The Irathient internment
was a terrible tragedy.

We came through it
together.

There were so many acts
of bravery and kindness.

But I'd like
to single out for you

two people in particular,

Lawkeeper Nolan
and Connor Lang,

who braved the badlands
to bring the cure to us all.

Ambassador Lang
will be missed.

I'd also like to thank
Datak Tarr

for stepping in
while I was sick

and rescuing
our precious medicine.

This was a frightening time
for us all.

The stakes were high, and we
learned a bit about ourselves.

I certainly did.

If you were to ask people
in this town,

they might say I'm a
scoundrel, selfish.

I did not ask to lead you
through this recent crisis.

I had no interest
taking on that burden.

And quite frankly,
I wished to be left alone.

But my lovely wife
wouldn't hear of it.

She taught me that
I could not ignore the pain

I saw in the eyes
of my fellow townspeople.

My wife helped me
understand community,

that there is
no greater honor...

- Than service.
- No, there's not.

Thank you, Dat...

There is no greater honor
than giving back...

- Why is my mic off?
- To the people of this town.

And it is for this reason

that I am renouncing
my former ways

and throwing my hat
into the ring

as candidate for mayor
of Defiance.

Yenkitso.

Amanda, I do hope
this town is big enough

to withstand a little
healthy competition.

Of course, Datak.

I look forward to the challenge.
It'll be fun.

I feel this town
deserves leadership

that's sympathetic to the needs
of our Votan population.

Never again will we tolerate
the incarceration

of our Irathient brothers
and sisters.

These things will kill you.

And far more efficiently than a
poorly planned Volge attack.

That was Birch's idea.

And was triggering a radiation
leak in old St. Louis also Birch?

Mistakes were made. You two
are reckless and stupid.

You always have been.

That's why I stopped
working with you.

He's dead, you know. Birch.

Well, I guess that makes you and me
the last two left of the old gang.

Come back
and work with me.

I can't do this alone.

I'm pretty certain
I'm being watched.

Sorry.
I'm not interested.

You sure about that?

I finally got my hands
on one of the kolovan.

- Which one?
- The golden knot.

Where is it?

- Nicolette, destroy it immediately.
- You know I can't do that.

- You're crazy. You know that?
- Come be crazy with me.

Together, we can reshape
this planet.

Reshape or destroy?

You can't create
without destroying.

I thought you would have figured
that out by now, doctor.
