Previously onDefiance...

I was gonna tell you in private.

I'm gonna be a grandpa!

So did you get to Mendocino, find your mother?

Dad, you threw her away. I made a choice!

Protect Pilar, the woman I love, or protect her children.

What happened to Tommy?

Tommy who?

You lied to me. You wanna talk about lies, Alak?

Or should I call you Vizu?

We'll talk about this when we get...

Don't touch me. I'm staying here.

The pilgrimage can't be interrupted.

It's Irzu's will.

You wanna hit the NeedWant when our shift's over?

Maybe get a game of ivali going.

And try out some of the new talent.

Come on, man. It'll be good.

Hold it right there!

I want my money, fellas.Ah...

True gentlemen pay their gambling debts promptly.

I didn't expect Cedars to come back like that in the 13th.

Scrip, scrip, scrip.

Secure the perimeter! Yes, sir.

Stop that. You two, on me.

Get over here.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy, fellas. Easy.

Lawkeeper? Thief went that way.

Go, go, go.

Yes, sir. Must've spooked him. He dropped this.

Terrasphere.

What would somebody want with something like that?

I'll take that.

Thanks for the assist, Lawkeeper.

Glad to help.

You just crossed a line. Let's go.

Badge.

Whatever.

Anything else?

Knives.

Now.

I recommend you not make me raise my voice.

So where the hell were you?

I needed your help with Kenya. You did fine without me.

Not the point. Oh, there's a point?

My point is

not only can I not trust you when I'm looking at you,

I can't even close my eyes anymore

without you breaking into an E-Rep garrison

and stealing a terrasphere!

After everything we went through last year...

We're supposed to be a team.

Sukar's sick.

You lying to me? No.

Ah.

How exactly does a terrasphere cure Sukar?

It's complicated.

"It's complicated."

All right. Let me simplify it for you.

Until we get this figured out... Really?

I'm not letting you out of my sight.

Good morning, Defiance. This is Alak Tarr, back with the best

in old and new world tunes, ready jump-start your day.

Hey, hey, stop.

Right now, we're expecting a visit

from the Earth Republic's very own Ambassador Tennety.

Hey! Now we've just collected our millionth ton of gulanite...

...of gulanite,

since the boys-in-blue set up shop.

So please be sure to give our Ambassador Tennety a warm Defiance welcome.

You need to stop doing that.

Mmm, I was just playing.

Next time, fight me off harder.

My Rayetso!

Is everything about sex with you?

What's wrong with sex?

Look, I...

I don't think I can do this anymore.

Wait, what?

It's messing up my marriage.

I'm gonna be a father soon.

And I think it's time to put the childish things aside.

That... That came out wrong. Um...

It's an old human expression. I could've gotten it wrong.

Look, the point is I love my wife. And, I mean...

There's no future with you and me.

With this.

Is that all I am to you?

A sex toy you can use and throw away? Okay, well...

I think you're being a little dramatic.

What... What you are to me, you're a great person

with fantastic taste in music.

And you'll always have a job right here.

You deserve a raise too.

Five thousand scrip.

What? If you're gonna treat me like a whore,

you're gonna pay me like one.

I'll get the rest to you.

Hello.Hi.

I'd like you to meet my husbands, Cyrus and Jermaine.

They're even more handsome than your last two husbands.

Thank you, Madam Ex-Mayor.

So, Ambassador Tennety, we'll let you wash off some of that road dust

and then we'll go for a tour of the mines.

Must you stand so close?

Sorry. You're a revelation from any distance, Ambassador.

What's with the puss, Amanda? You're bringing me down.

I'll let you carry my bags.

Sergeant Poole, bags.

Actually, I'd feel much more secure if you carried them.

I have a cast.

Still.

Ambassador Tennety, a quick word, if I may?

I know you have history with Amanda.

I also know you're a liar and a thief,

and were you slightly more intelligent,

you'd be a mass murderer, too.

And I can prove all these things.

Toddle that well-marbled ass back over there,

pick up your own damn bags.

No dirty songs!

He's gotta learn some time.

Who says she's a he? Huh?

All right, you kids, play nice.

Thanks, Dad.

It's good to have the family back together again.

Luke's here too, in spirit.

So is Mom.

I wish she'd lived to see her future grandchild.

Don't you, Dad?

Wish that she'd lived?

Yeah. Me, too.

Something going on?

Quentin! Back from the Reach.

Good to see you. You been working?

Yeah, working the Mag-Lev line.

Sorry I couldn't get here sooner. I was at the...

The radio show. Hi.

I'm catching a cold.

Human germs are the worst, right?

I was just telling these two

how good it feels to have my kids here.

Being a dad's the best feeling, Alak.

Enjoy it.

While you can.

One day your kid will grow up and see you for what you really are.

We've developed a multi-step process for refining gulanite.

The extracted crystals are ground into a fine powder,

then liquefied into the clean-burning,

environmentally-friendly fuel, petrohol.

Ambassador Tennety.

Congratulations on staying out of jail.

You must have one hell of a lawyer.

Why is he here?

I asked the Lawkeeper to escort you.

To keep you out of trouble.

Just think of me as your honor guard.

Would you care to get a helmet?

Handcuffs?

Yeah.

Tough love.

With the latest in Earth Republic extraction and processing tech,

we've managed to increase productivity by 20%,

decrease the impurity in the final product

to the parts-per-million level.

Come over here. I'll show you.

In a standard operation, miners chip away at the plain

and use their time...

That stuff could melt steel.

You got any idea what it would do to you?

I wasn't planning on diving in.

You don't think if you dropped the camera, caused a splash,

singe off those pretty eyebrows of yours.

You think my eyebrows are pretty? They're okay.

Do I have to stand here? Yes.

So, Amanda, how are you dealing with the career change?

Mayor to hooker. That's quite a fall.

"Madam," actually.

And I find the change invigorating.

Yeah, but still.

You want me to pull some strings?

Get you a job at my office maybe as a secretary.

Thank you. I already work with prostitutes.

What was that?

All right, go. Hey! Come on!

Hey! Everybody! This way!

Amanda!

Ah! Come on!

Over here.

Help them out. Let's go! Take the cuffs off.

No way. Where's everybody else?

Get down there! The whole tunnel collapsed.

You're the only three that got out. Amanda?

She's probably dead. Jesus! You're a doll.

Chirp Rafe McCawley. Have him come down here right now.

We need to start search-and-rescue.

Go.Rafe.

Is anybody here?

Anybody? POTTINGER: Over here.

I'm okay. I think.

Ah, shoot. My hailer's smashed. Yours?

I can't find it.

Tennety?

Tennety!

Tennety?

Tennety... Tennety.

She's not breathing.

Sorry. It's okay.

No, I... I mean I'm sorry.

Really? For what?

I said a lot of awful things at that dress-up club. I didn't mean any of it.

I... I love you,

and you should wear make-up, and wigs,

and whatever makes you happy.

And you were right,

I lied about working in the family business.

And I lied about Skevur.

I'm not mad about Skevur. That was a blood debt.

Where'd you learn that word?

My interest in your culture is not all about face paint and dancing at a club.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Now, is there anything else you want to confess,

since you're on such a roll?

No. I'm... I'm all done.

Clean slate.

Moving forward.

Swear before Rayetso

that you will not shame me ever again.

I so swear.

You are forgiven.

What's going on?

None of the adjacent tunnels are affected.

Amanda, Pottinger and Tennety are all still down there.

Obviously we need to get to the Mayor and the Ambassador

as soon as humanly possible.

Gail, have that road header brought in from L-9.

Copy that.

Q, are you getting any hits?

No, there's too much rubble shifting.

Why don't we just start drilling?

'Cause you'll cause another cave-in and kill 'em.

All right, Rafe. What's your plan?

I'm working on it.

Amanda.

She's gone.

Please.

She's gone.

Come on.

Wait! She has a hailer.

Okay, they're in this section here.Right.

This natural lava vent should take us right there.

If it's not caved in. If it's not caved in.

But it's safer to drill up here.

Well, it's three of them,

so they should have 30 minutes' worth of air.

I make it 20.

Dad, the road header's here.

Well, get it online. Okay, everybody,

let's look alive!

Oh!

Irisa? Irisa!

Irisa!

Hello? Nolan? Nolan, it's me.

Amanda!

I'm here. I'm here. Amanda... Amanda?

We're buried under rock.

- Tennety's dead. - We're running out of air...

All right. If you can hear me, I'm coming.

Nolan!

You got me? You hold on. I'm coming for you.

The line went dead.

Well, you hailed Nolan.

So? You had absolutely no idea

whether he was still alive or not,

yet, he was the first person you called.

I'm an optimist. What can I say?

Obviously.

Tommy.

Where have you been? I need your help.

The Votans I've been selecting.

They're gathering outside Defiance.

They did something to me. What?

I don't know. But now, whatever's inside me,

it's making me sick.

It's gonna kill me.

Okay. We can fix this.

We gotta get you to a doctor.

No, no, no. No. I need a terrasphere.

You're the one that broke in last night, aren't you?

There's an Indo scientist.

She says she can use it to make me normal.

It's impossible to steal from the E-Rep.

I believe in you.

Is that supposed to...

Convince me? No.

But if I'm gonna die...

I wanna remember how that felt.

Amanda? Amanda, can you hear me?

Pottinger? Anyone?

Guys, just easy up on the throttle.

Just give me one more little hit.

All right. Pull it out of there. Gently.

From here on in we've gotta dig by hand.

That lava vent is right on the other side of that wall.

All right! Come on. Hey! Everybody in here.

They got a limited oxygen supply down there.

Maybe 10 minutes. Let's go.

Votan trembler.

Shook E.M.C. tanks apart during the war.

Someone planted this, Rafe.

Put it in that vent to blow the chamber.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying our saboteur chose the exact moment

two high-ranking E-Rep officials

would be in the chamber.

But no miners.

Oh, so you think a miner did this?

A miner with access to Votan weaponry.

You know anybody like that?

I'll make some inquiries.

We found the shaft!

So, who's going in?

Well, I'm combat-certified for jump rigs.

All right, that's good enough for me.

It's you and me. Let's go.

This would be a great honor if we were Sumerian.Mmm.

Only their kings were buried this deep underground.

Sumerian kings.

We're facing death, and you trot out "Sumerian kings."

Well, they're a damn sight more interesting than British kings.

Mmm.

Richard III?

Yeah, all right, he's interesting.

George III.

Depends

on whether you find mental illness intriguing or not.

I do.

How fortunate for me.

I'm glad I'm not alone right now.

I can't imagine what it'd feel like to die alone.

At least you're here.

To watch you suffocate and die?

No, I was rather imagining you being the one to pop off first.

Being a woman and all.

Mmm...

I'm sorry.

I was so hard on you when we... When we first met.

Seventeen.

What?

Seventeen is the amount of times

I asked you to be my advisor.

Mmm.

The first time, it was...

Weird.

Weird? Why, weird?

Well, you called me Harry Potter.

You don't know...

Of course I know who Harry Potter is.

I wasn't born in a bloody cave.

But you're gonna die in one.

Just go with you.

Shouldn't we stay here and help?

I know you're mad at me but right now you have to put that aside.

I need your help. With what?

You'll see.

Some baby hydrangeas for my baby

and her baby.

They're beautiful.

Oh, you two are so cute.

Big plans?

Just two girlfriends going out to lunch.Ah.

Let me grab my purse.Okay.

You never bought me flowers.

You got the rest of your money.

I don't want money, I want you.

That's never gonna happen.

Oh, I hope I don't have too many

Sulos spritzers at lunch

and tell Christie

what a hot lay you are.

I'm trying to be a good dad.

We can have all of the kids that you want.

I don't love you.

Okay, I got it.

I am not done fighting.

Hey, Christie.Hi.

You ready? Hmm. Come on.

Okay. Bye. Let's go.

You all right?

I don't know if you can hear me, but...

Um, I'm on my way, so just hold on, okay?

You're the strongest person I know.

Don't give up on me. All right.

You know, she probably can't hear you.

Yeah. Doesn't mean I shouldn't try.

Come on.

Make some easy scrip.

Follow the red card. Keep your eyes on the red card.

Find the red. Find the red.

Follow the red card.

Feeling lucky tonight, huh?

Ah.

Oh, no, no, no. One last chance.

Oh, no. Terribly sad.

Fortune seems to frown on you, friends.

Who else will try their luck?

I'll play.

Unseemly. A woman of the Shanje gambling.

You've been with Alak's whore, Treasure Doll?

Treasure Doll, yes. Skinny but enthusiastic. You should try her.

I'd snap her like a twig.

She's becoming a problem.

For whom? For the family.

Christie won't tolerate infidelity.

So...

You want Treasure Doll removed from the playing field.

And you come to me.

Why?

Can't trust your own men these days?

I'll pay you 300.

Money means nothing to me. I have all I need right here.

An embarrassment of riches.

What, then?

Reconciliation.

I move back to my home. Our bed.

Your price is too high.

I'll gut the little whore myself.

What is all this? Weapons.

Enough to drive the Earth Republic out of Defiance.

And there's one missing.

I need your help to make this stuff disappear,

or else people are gonna think that I...

What?

You never could look me in the eye

when you were hiding something.

Oh, please tell me it wasn't you.

Quentin.

I had to. For Mom.

What the hell does she have to do with this?

I couldn't leave her in that place.

The only way the Votanis Collective would release her

is if I paid ransom.

Was killing Ambassador Tennety part of this ransom?

She was spearheading some kind of military push

into South America.

Politics. Is that all you have to say?

What do you want me to say? I'm an assassin.

Don't you dignify what you did!

There was innocent people in that mine! Amanda was down there!

You have no room to judge me!

I did it to save my mother!

My mother, who you just tossed away.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

They'll be here soon.

There's barely any air left.

The cave is filling with carbon dioxide.

Every breath we take is killing us a little faster.

This explanation alone is killing us faster.

You know it's okay to admit it. Admit what?

Your feelings for Amanda.

It doesn't have to affect you and me having sex.

If I did have feelings for Amanda,

it'd definitely be a problem.

I'm a one-woman kind of a guy.

Except when I'm not. Anyway, she pushed me away.

Yeah, but you let her.

She's a big girl. Maybe she was testing.

Maybe she wanted to see if you would fight for her.

Oh!

Maybe we should stop having sex with each other.

Maybe we should.

They're gonna break through any second.

And we're gonna have all the air we can handle.

Amanda...

They're not gonna get here in time.

We're not gonna make it.

Maybe one of us can.

Now, I need you to listen to me.

I need you to listen to me very carefully.

'Cause you're not gonna find this easy.

I need you to pick up that rock there...

...and kill me.

No. You're delirious.

You'll survive a lot longer

with only one set of lungs inhaling the air.

It's the only way.

Now pick up the rock.

Do you hear yourself talk?

Let me make this sacrifice for you.

Let me do one decent thing with my miserable life.

You're no worse than a lot of people I know.

I am a monster.

You have no idea of the things I've done.

All right. This is our spot.

We don't have much time.

Det cord.

Detonator.

Collaborator.

All right.

Cord.Okay.

Thank you. All right.

Good to go.

All right. Go.

We go on three. One, two, three.

Amanda! Hey! Amanda!

Amanda. Hey. Hey... Here.

I need you to breathe through here.

That's it. Take a breath.

Good. And another one.

Niles.

Hey.Niles.

Take him first. No, no, no. We need to get you out...

Take him first!

Okay. Okay. Here we go.

All right. One, two, three. Go!

Lawkeeper. Glad you're okay. So am I.

Who hit him?

The son. Quentin.

That's who hailed us. He says his father confessed

to blowing up the mines. Things got physical.

You're saying your dad confessed?

Yeah.

He was trying to kill the Ambassador.

He asked me to come here

and help him get rid of these weapons.

I said, "No."

I'm no terrorist.

Did Amanda get out okay?

She and Pottinger are fine.

Ambassador Tennety wasn't quite so lucky.

This as bad for me as it looks?

Your son is over there, telling anyone who'll listen,

that you were the one who set the bomb.

That's what he's saying? Mmm-hmm.

Okay, then.

Rafe, if there's anything I need to know about Quentin's story,

now's the time to come clean.

Nope.

You got me dead to rights.

I killed the Ambassador for, uh, payback.

Payback? For, uh...

Hyatt and Josef, and, uh, my mines,

my house. For everything.

Tell Amanda I'm sorry.

You sure that's the way you wanna play this?

Do what you gotta do.

Rafe McCawley, you're under arrest.

Dad?

Dad!

Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's go.

Let's go. Come on. I love you.

Rafe McCawley shows his teeth at long last.

Hard to believe.

Really hard to believe.

I'm not sure I do.

Well, you push a man hard enough, long enough,

you take away his livelihood, his dignity,

it gets a lot easier to believe.

What I said down in the mines...

It's all true.

What's he talking about?

What'd he say to you in the mines?

Nothing.

Niles, wait up.

Hi, Mom.

Oh...

Oh, it is...

...so good to be out.

The Votanis Collective, did they treat you badly?

I had to join them on a bunch of missions,

killed some people.

I am so sorry. I am so sorry they made you do that.

But now that I am free,

we can be a family again.

A family!

Oh.

Except for Dad.

What do you mean? I was smart. I set him up.

Used the weapons he's been receiving from the V.C.

I gave him this big speech about how I did it all to rescue you

and he felt so guilty, he actually took the blame.

He's out of our life.

That's a good thing.

Isn't it?

You really think your father took the blame because you outsmarted him?

I wasn't even there and I can tell you exactly what happened.

Your father put the well-being of his child before his own.

The same thing he did when he sent me away.

He did what was necessary.

Such a stupid child!

Well, come on.

I knew you'd come.

Here it is.

So how long does your scientist need this thing?

The sooner we can get it back to the armory, the better.

You're gonna kill me?

I'm gonna save you.

No. No!

The devouring mother has come. She is glory made flesh.

The devouring mother has come. She is glory made flesh.

Become!

Become!

It's beginning.
