Previously on Defiance...

This is our best chance to take Rahm by surprise.

I don't want him in there.

It's not your choice. I'm going.

- Just be careful. - Always.

No!

No!

You gambled. If it had worked, you'd be a hero.

Yeah, but it didn't.

They trusted me, they followed me,

and now they're dead because of me.

Rahm Tak is setting up camp right outside the stasis nets.

I've got an idea. It's a suicide mission.

I'm offering you a chance at redemption.

- Posthumously. - Ah... there's the catch.

What are you still doing here? Go.

My body is yours.

Agh!

The town of Defiance has been attacked

by something monstrous.

Hate.

Hate drove the Votanis Collective

to collapse that tunnel,

brutally murdering 27 brave heroes.

Their faces are up here, memorialized on this wall.

It's a testament to our spirit that hate took us by surprise.

And for our ignorance,

we paid a very high price...

in blood.

The blood of husbands and wives,

sons...

and daughters.

We owe them a debt we can never repay.

Rahm Tak and his militia are dead

thanks to the sacrifice made by Datak Tarr

and the 27 brave soldiers

who died bringing the fight to Rahm's doorstep.

I promise you

these lights were not extinguished in vain.

The lawkeeper would like to say a few words.

No!

I will not listen to the man who killed my son.

You butcher!

Things go wrong in war.

I made a mistake. People died.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could change that.

But I can't.

I... I... I don't have anything else to say.

It's okay.

Alak. My condolences.

Keep 'em.

My mother... you know where she is, don't you?

I do not.

But wherever she is, one may assume her heart grieves.

Well, she's a coward and a murderer.

You do not understand the position she was in.

You're right. I don't.

If you do happen to see my mother, you could tell her

that the mayor may have pardoned her, but I haven't.

She comes anywhere near me or my son, I'll kill her.

I brought you some food from the market.

I'm afraid I don't have much of an appetite.

Hmm.

Were you able to make contact with Alak?

He did not have kind words for you.

As expected.

Was he well?

Well enough to attend the funeral of your husband.

There was a funeral?

Did Alak organize it?

No, the mayor.

I took the liberty of attending

assuming that you'd be anxious for details.

Why would Amanda Rosewater honor my husband?

He was hung as a traitor.

Yet he was honored alongside those

who fell fighting Rahm Tak.

Datak walked that bomb into the Votanis camp.

He martyred himself to save the town.

Dying in the service of others is not the end

I would have expected for my husband.

It is possible he did it for you.

How so?

Datak secured a pardon

as a condition of his sacrifice.

You are free to return home.

Hmm.

You okay?

That was Indur who walked out, Zero's father.

And that's what's left of Zero's rifle?

What are you gonna do?

Figure his old man should have it.

I'll bring it to him.

No, this one's on me.

You can't think that's a good idea.

- I don't. - Then why are you going?

'Cause if this was yours,

if that had been you burned to ash

down in that tunnel and not Indur's boy...

It's what needs to be done.

Indur?

Thought you should have this.

My son used to make stew every Tuesday.

Do you know what day today is?

I don't want a broken rifle.

I want my son.

I want him sitting across from me at that table

complaining about how his stew is never spicy enough.

Can you give me that?

No, sir, I cannot.

So how's this gonna end?

Hey, this way. Where's Nolan?

- Busy. - Is he okay?

He'll be fine. What have you got?

Sanitation found the body this morning.

Indogene victim.

The stasis nets are down.

Maybe a sabre wolf wandered in through Bissel Pass.

A sabre wolf wouldn't break from the pack.

This was something else.

Doc?

Doc! We got a body here.

Ugh.

Doc!

That's weird. She's usually open by now.

Been memorizing my office hours?

Obviously you know me better than I know myself.

Who's the stiff?

Did my son ever tell you about Lucy?

Lucy?

I'm afraid I didn't have the privilege.

I built it for him.

He named it after a human girl who lived down the way.

He was fond of her, but she was young and fickle

and broke his heart.

Zero used to say that this weapon

was the second most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

So he named it after the first.

Indur, we all lose people we care about.

What's important in all of this

is that you don't lose yourself,

not to the anger, not to the ache in your gut,

not to the anything.

I have nothing left to lose.

And that's all because of you.

You're right.

I'm just a grunt. I'm not a general.

I led 'em all down into that hole,

and I got 'em all killed,

your son included.

And I'm gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life,

live with the memories of your boy.

Is that the same speech you're giving to all of the grieving?

No, you're the only one I've come to see.

And why is that?

What makes my son so special to you?

I don't know.

Well... should I feel honored?

When it comes to your boy,

without a doubt.

When it comes to me...

how you feel about me, you, sir, are entitled

to feel whatever way you want.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm tired of talking anyway.

Answer it. It might be important.

Yeah, kiddo, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Go.

I appreciate you making the effort.

Keep your hands off my dead body.

You said I could apprentice, so let me apprentice.

I was joking. Did you not pick up on my withering sarcasm?

Oh, we'll have to work out a signal for that.

Think you knew him? Or her?

Oh, I see. The stiff's an Indogene,

so of course we all know each other.

Little bit of old-Earth racism there, hey, Doc?

When you were a vet, did you refuse

to treat black cats as well?

You done?

For the moment.

You seem to be pretty disturbed by this particular corpse.

You don't come across as someone that gets disturbed very easily.

What are you, a pet psychiatrist too?

No, but I'm thinking of opening a practice.

Hmm.

There's something about the way the skin feels.

I don't like it.

Doc, that's you.

How can the victim be you?

I have no idea.

Ready to go hunting?

There was an animal attack last night.

You identify the animal?

Not yet.

What about the victim?

Doc and Samir are working on it.

Given what I know about your people,

what you have neglected to tell anyone else on this planet,

how do you know I won't betray you?

You always do what is in your best interest,

and betraying me would not serve you well.

There is that.

I suppose it is your daughter, really, who should concern you.

And why is that?

I believe she will betray you.

Kindzi is under control.

Where has she been these last few days? Do you know?

I trust her.

What will she do when you wake your people?

What will she tell them?

My family will follow me towards peace.

But your daughter offers a different path.

Your family will be forced to choose.

Kindzi will obey me.

Of course.

You know her best.

An auspicious homecoming.

Favi?

Oh, you're alive!

Oh, I was so worried.

I'm cleaning up this mess.

Thank you, Andina.

It's good to be home.

_

Lawkeeper.

Kind of busy right now, T'evgin.

I assure you my business is as urgent as yours.

Have you seen my daughter?

No. Is she missing?

She has an independent spirit.

As a father, I find it... vexing.

I can relate. Why don't you get upstairs,

and see if you can find any tracks up top?

- On it. - Tracks?

What manner of animal would require that much firepower?

Wish I knew.

You all right?

The scene is grizzly.

Yeah, that it is.

You know, if you have any insight at all

into what kind of creature might have done all this damage,

now would be a really good time to tell me.

Nolan!

More blood up here.

No tracks, but it looks like it kept eating

as it headed east.

Be right up there.

You know, Defiance has had more than it's...

- Tarr wife came back. - I heard.

What's the world coming to?

Terrorist gets to live in a big house,

while we're out here eating rat meat.

That's the goddamn kwonyo gyendo for you, huh?

Too true.

What was that?

Hear that?

Come on.

Hear that?

God damn it!

You can't blame yourself.

It's a raccoon.

Yeah, I see that.

Take a couple of hours, get your head on straight.

I'll chirp you if I find anything.

You saying I can't do the job?

Maybe we should ask him?

Happy hunting.

Oh.

Have you seen much of Alak?

I bring him food and clean laundry twice a week.

I do what I can to make him happy.

How are his injuries?

Healing well.

I wish he was home, though.

The McCawley house frightens me.

- Afraid of ghosts? - No, afraid of death.

I think that's a very reasonable fear, don't you?

I suppose so.

Poor Alak.

So kind. So sad.

Don't get me wrong. It's beautiful the way

he loved Christie.

But the dead are dead.

We must mourn them and move on.

Moving on is rarely easy.

Perhaps the next time you visit Alak,

I will accompany you.

Whatever you wish, Favi Stahma.

What is it, Andina?

Out with it.

Alak kept his gun from the militia.

There are two bullets left inside,

both meant for you...

one from Rafe, one from Christie.

He keeps it by the front door.

I would not recommend knocking.

Thank you, for telling me.

He's been through a lot.

Yes.

We all have.

You still have me, Favi.

That I do, Andina.

That I do.

So who would clone you?

Smart money's on the galaxy's favorite puckered rectums,

the Omec.

Why?

Well, aside from me being the perfect gift

for birthdays, anniversaries, and bar mitzvahs,

the possibilities are endless and depressing.

You know what'd be weird?

Is if that's you on the table, and you're the clone.

Or you're both clones. Or...

- I'm gonna stop talking now. - That might be best.

Uh, why does your clone's lungs have glitter in them?

They're spores.

Bagra spores.

They only grow in Old St. Louis.

The Omec are hiding something from us.

Where are you going?

I intend to shut those sons of bitches down.

By yourself?

You know we should call Nolan and Amanda.

Nolan and Amanda, right.

The last time I asked those two to choose

between the Omec and me,

they tore a strip off my hide

and used it for spare parts.

Those two will pussyfoot around and give the purples

a chance to destroy evidence.

No, I'm getting proof first.

- Let me go with you. - No.

Why not? I can handle myself.

If I'm not back by this time tomorrow,

I'm counting on you to sound the alarm.

Don't know. Don't care.

That doesn't sound right. What troubles you?

Too many dead people.

You're hurting.

I can take that pain away.

I don't want it to go away. You should leave.

I like it here.

Wouldn't you rather feel good,

even if only for a moment?

No.

You're not the "feel good for a moment"

type of guy, are you?

I think you like to take it slow,

savor the moment.

No.

No.

That growl, the beast, what do you know about that?

What aren't you telling me?

Shouldn't you answer that?

Doesn't matter right now.

What the hell's going on?

Spoken like somebody who knows exactly what's going on.

- You're drunk. - You ought to know.

Well, at least I can drink and hold myself together.

Clearly you can't.

Now get out of my way. I got to go see T'evgin.

No. Why? Why?

Why?

'Cause him and Kindzi know something about these attacks,

something they're not telling us.

All right, you're going to go see T'evgin like this?

Hmm? Come on. Sit down.

Okay. Shh. Shh. Hey.

Hey, in the morning, I will go with you to the mines,

and we'll get to the bottom of this.

How many more people got to die?

I need you to sleep this off.

All right? For me. Please.

Great.

What could possibly go wrong here?

_

We created life. Doesn't that make us gods?

Well, you won't be getting a hosanna from me, purple.

Funny. Your clones made jokes too...

at first.

If you try to run, you'll end up like them.

If I don't, you'll kill me.

Oh, I don't want you dead.

Oh, so I'm misinterpreting the big pile of parts

that looks just like me.

I don't care about you. I care about the hunt.

Oh, well, there's no sport in hunting my clones.

I mean, come on. Look at this girl.

She's a lover, not a fighter.

After years idle in deep space,

I thought it best to start small.

I've begun to move on to more challenging prey.

You're going to help me hunt.

- What is that? - A control stem.

It keeps you shape-takers docile.

I won't let you.

- Yes, you will. - No, I mean it.

You'll have to kill me.

No.

Your will to live is much too strong.

- Show me your neck. - No.

If you don't, I'll snap it.

Very good.

Very good.

Now pull the ax from your belt.

What are you going to make me...

Remain silent.

Please your empty hand on the ledge.

Now raise the ax.

Above the hand.

Higher.

Higher.

Higher.

Enough!

What is happening here?

Come, shape-taker!

Go ahead.

Explain.

Remember when I used your drone to heal Nolan and Irisa?

Well, your sweet daughter here kept a copy of my source print

and used it to make clones.

- Dirty birdie. - Stop talking.

_

_

Go back to town; tell no one of what you found here.

Protect my interests at all costs.

What were you thinking?

At least now I have your attention.

- You are forbidden to feed. - Why?

Indogene were created for that very purpose.

And what about the Votans in Defiance?

The ones you slaughtered?

- Lower races. - Sentient races.

You know how intoxicating and disorienting

the hunt can be.

You never told me how great the hunger can be

once you've fed for the first time.

Because I want more for you than that!

More than what we truly are?

Than what we are meant to be?

You have turned your back on our people.

I will lead them into a new age,

one without a harvest,

one that will not end in our own extinction.

I wonder what the others will think of you when they awake?

They will think I'm a pragmatist.

And then when you order them to lay in the filth

beside the animals it is their right to feed upon?

We will not be denied our true nature.

Yes... you will!

And I am tired of teaching you.

Good-bye, Kindzi.

♪ Nothing left for my baby ♪

Good day to you.

I have entered a period of mourning

and must apply gwavo ledawo.

I require the darkest ink you have.

Shop's closed.

Clearly it is not.

You blew up the arch.

That she did.

Here.

Pretend you're selling to me.

Thank you.

For the pardon.

Don't thank me. Thank your husband.

Oh, you can't. He's dead.

For what it is worth, I regret the incident in your office.

Not yet, you don't.

About last night...

All right.

Get to talking, T'evgin.

What do you know about this beast?

There will be no more killings.

Seems you could've mentioned knowing about 'em

when you walked into my crime scene

or when your daughter took off running after the beast.

There'll be no more killings.

- I got your word on that? - You have my word.

On your daughter's life?

On my daughter's life.

Thank you, T'evgin.

No! No, not good enough.

I'm gonna seek justice for the people who've died.

The dead are dead, and nothing can change that.

I have said all that I need to say.

Nolan! What are you doing?

He knows more than he's letting on.

Don't you, T'ev?

I will afford you one opportunity

to pull that trigger.

I recommend that you do not miss.

You can see yourselves out.

Come on.

Did you find what you needed?

Went barking up the wrong tree.

The victim was an Indogene but definitely not a clone.

No, I saw the same results that you did.

Well, I accidently contaminated the DNA sample.

What's this thing on your neck?

Bling.

Makes me feel girlish.

No, what happened down in Old St. Louis?

Did the Omec do something to you?

Yes, they did.

Ohh...

I'm sorry, Samir.

_

_

_

_

_

_

Indur, you up?

Got your message.

_

He was weak.

You need to be strong, soldier.

You hear me?

_

On your feet.

_

On your feet.
