Previously onDefiance...

I didn't see Nolan.

Someone took him.

But he's alive, I can feel him.

I have chosen this human as my enchanted. My pet.

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

I do not.

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

You're going to help me hunt.

What is that?

A control stem.

What's this thing on your neck.

Did the Omec do something to you?

Yes, they did.

What's that?

A vaccine.

You underestimate me, daughter.

You have broken my heart.

You left me no choice.

Your strength will become my own.

It is time to awaken and seize the world we were long ago promised.

It is time for our Dread Harvest to begin.

It doesn't look infected.

Any pain or numbness here?

I don't think so. No.

Okay, then. Wiggle your piggies.

Piggies are what you call toes, not fingers.

Is English your first language?

No.

Then don't correct me.

Is English your first language?

If you have to keep track,

you can't call yourself fluent.

Wait, you know I don't like needles.

Then hold your ankles

and think of Charles de Gaulle.

Yewll!

Yewll, please.

Here. MAN: Good.

Please.

Yewll.

Yewll, what in the three hells are you doing?

Yewll!

Answer me, you shyster!

A shyster is a disreputable lawyer.

I'm a disreputable doctor.

They're controlling her.

They stuck an implant in her neck.

She can't help herself.

Doc, this isn't you.

You have to fight back!

I've been trying.

Unfortunately for all of us, I was engineered for slavery.

I'm sorry. It's humiliating.

Oh, Meh.

I do wish I could spare you

the terrible pain of embarrassment.

I'm sorry, Datak. You don't deserve this.

None of you do.

Deserve what?

Deserve what?

Doc!

Deserve what?

Eyes out for Kindzi.

You see her, shoot to kill.

Any idea what she wants?

Nope, but I do know she's got blood on her hands.

T'Evgin's blood. And I'm gonna make her pay.

Kiddo, you're with me.

I want to circle back to the mines,

see if we can pick up her tracks.

Nolan. My husband is missing.

We're kinda busy right now, Stahma.

I'm afraid the Omec daughter has hurt him.

What does Kindzi have against Datak?

What do you know?

She wants me dead.

T'Evgin was protecting me, but now he's disappeared.

Datak went to Doctor Yewll

looking for a weapon to kill an Omec

and now he's gone as well.

I know how you feel about me, Amanda.Oh.

How you all feel.

I would not come to you

if I were not genuinely frightened.

Stahma, T'Evgin's dead.

Are you sure?

We were there.

Kindzi?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go get her now.

What the hell was that?

There are many of them.

What?

In sleep pods, aboard their ship.

Thousands upon thousands of sleeping Omec.

T'Evgin wanted them to coexist peacefully with the people of Earth.

With him gone

leadership will fall to Kindzi.

Under her command, the Omec will attempt to conquer this planet.

Enslave us.

Ultimately, consume us.

Come on.

Those meteor flashes?

I think it is just the beginning.

Thousands of Omec and you didn't tell us?

T'Evgin threatened me. I had no choice.

Bullshit! You could have come to me.

We might have had a chance to stop them

before it became a full-blown invasion.

If you had not invited the Omec into this town,

given them our gulanite,

perhaps we would not be in this position in the first place.

Don't you dare put this on me.

It is the truth.

What are you doing with me?

No. Don't, please.

Please.

The sun feels good.

Why am I so weak?

You've been asleep a long time.

You'll feel better once you've eaten.

Don't worry.

It'll be over soon.

What will be over?

Please don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

Please. Please.

I have children.

So do I.

And they are hungry.

No.

Where is the All-Father?

T'Evgin was murdered.

By whom?

He was betrayed by a concubine.

One of the lessers.

A traitor among her own people.

His death must be avenged.

It will be.

You?

I have taken T'Evgin's strength,

I am the All-Mother now,

and I will do whatever it takes

to protect the Omec race.

Enemies all around us.

This is the curse of our people.

I must grow strong.

Nolan.

What do you got?

Doc Yewll.

What's she doing here?

Oh, Christ.

That poor woman.

You're gonna kill Kindzi?

Yeah.

Doesn't it make sense to interrogate her?

I'll interrogate the other two.

She's got this coming.

What the hell?

Get back to the car! Go!

I don't understand.

How could commander T'Evgin, a conqueror of many ages,

be murdered by weapons such as these?

Are you calling me a liar?

Every conqueror has a limit.

Even T'Evgin.

The Casti whore poisoned him.

He died in my arms.

And I ate his heart.

Any more questions?

I meant no disrespect, All-Mother.

Good.

I don't understand.

When we were in the mines, two bullets took her down.

Maybe she's been eating her spinach.

I don't know. I emptied my gun into her. I shot her in the head.

Damnedest thing.

The ga-po-li-RAAZEritual.

The what ritual?

ga-po-li-RAAZE.

Taking-of-power.

I've been studying up on my Omec history.

It's a funeral tradition.

Here.

When an Omec commander dies,

his children eat his vital organs and gain his strength.

So now Kindzi's as strong as her father was?

Well, assuming the book's accurate, yes.

T'Evgin comes from a long line of commanders.

He survived countless wars.

So now his unhinged, unstoppable daughter

is at the head of ten thousand Omec.

We gotta get up to that ship. Cut 'em off at the source.

How are we gonna do that? Sprout wings?

I dunno, I suggest we find a way.

We have a situation.

Thirteen people reported missing in 24 hours.

Omec.No.

Doc Yewll.

They were all on their way to doctor's appointments.

A bad tooth, broken wrist, pregnancy check-up.

They never returned home.

That's why Yewll was in the field with the Omec.

Wait. Why would she be working with the Omec?

It makes no sense.

I suggest we find her and we ask her.

In the meantime, kiddo, you and Berlin

do a block-to-block search.

Sweep the streets.

Find those missing people.

You okay?

I'm fine.

There's no way out.

There's always a way out.

You know I once spent six months locked in a cage.

And that was... That was worse because I was alone.

You know who rescued me?

Joshua Nolan.

I know they call him "The Butcher", but...

I just think he's amazing.

Yeah, he's swell.

Yeah.

Nolan rescued me once, and he's gonna do it again.

You know how I know that?

I don't really care.

I know that because of faith.

Faith is a very important quality

for a long-term prisoner.

Faith gets you through the rough patches.

And faith keeps despair far, far away.

Do you suppose faith will prevent me

from pissing into your cage?

Please don't do that.

Anything?

Not yet.

People are scared. They're staying inside.

If I see any Omec, they're gonna be sorry they picked this town.

I heard T'Evgin, before he died.

The rest of the Omec aren't like Kindzi.

Well he's wrong.

You saw those Omec.

They were eating a person.

We don't know what Kindzi's telling them.

Maybe there's another way beside shooting them, one by one.

Like what?

Maybe we can talk to them.

You're serious.

Okay. Well, if you can figure out how to say,

"Please don't eat me," in Omec, let me know.

You heard Nolan. Shoot to kill.

We need more food. Bring out another one.

You might wanna keep your voice down.

The key to effective mass murdering

is to keep your victims in the dark as long as possible.

Do not lecture me.

Sure thing, boss.

Please, no!

Let's go, Jormir.

No!

Please.

Please don't let the Enchanters take me.

Please! No! Please!

Please don't!

Don't. Please don't!

You, Castithan. I recognize you.

You're Stahma's mate.

I'm also the last person you'll see before you die.

Your meat does not seem as tender as your wife's.

Surely this isn't about meat. It's about revenge.

Am I right?

Revenge against the Votan races who rose against the...

enchanters

and pushed you back to your home planet

like a bunch of scared little bitches.

And then there's that unfortunate incident with your arks.

I will not rise to bait proffered by a funny caged animal.

Tell me.

Millions of Votans and humans inhabit the Earth.

How will ten-thousand Omec, even with a space ship,

successfully conquer them all?

And once conquered, how will you control them?

Force!

The people of Earth will not surrender their planet without a fight.

How many Omec fatalities will you suffer along the way?

How many can you afford to lose

before your race can no longer sustain itself?

3,000? 4,000?

Probably less, when one factors in all the in-breeding.

All-Mother!

Are you going to eat him?

I want this smug piece of white meat to understand

that words have consequences.

I am going now to seek out your wife.

Before she dies sobbing and alone,

I will let her know it was your words that killed her.

You go near her, I swear you'll suffer.

The more threats you make, the emptier they sound.

Trusted lieutenant,

go greet the new arrivals and lead them here, to feed.

Where are you going...

All-Mother

To avenge our father's death.

Stay away from her!

Rayetso...

Doc?

Doesn't look like she's been here for a while.

It's okay.

No. It's not.

Come on. Let's go track her down.

What's the point?

How 'bout survival?

They keep coming, Nolan.

More and more of them. And we have no way of stopping them.

By my last count there's six, plus Kindzi

against the entire town. We can beat them.

Can we?

Of course we can.

Hell, it wouldn't feel like home

if we weren't on the verge of annihilation.

No, this time it's different.

This time it's on me.

I'm so stupid.

Amanda don't...

I believed him.

We all did.

Yeah, but I got on the radio and I vouched for him.

I... I urged people not to judge him

on the sins of his ancestors.

I asked them to give him a chance.

The stasis nets needed power.

And you had to protect the town.

You did not create this situation.

I was warned repeatedly.

I knew we were dealing with dangerous predators, I...

But I thought I knew better.

I thought I could win them over.

And I just opened the door to the Omec

and let them come in and help themselves.

If you hadn't, Rahm Tak would have killed

every human being in Defiance.

Well, that would have been preferable

to what the Omec have in store for our planet.

I give up.

When Irisa and I got back to Defiance,

and I saw those stasis nets down,

and the streets were empty,

I knew this town was on the brink and I didn't know why.

I didn't know what had happened,

but when I was climbing those stairs, I was praying one thing.

One thing only.

That you were still behind that desk.

Because I knew that if you were still in charge,

that Defiance had a pulse.

Now, if we're gonna beat the Omec,

and we are gonna beat the Omec,

then this town is gonna need our mayor.

I'm gonna need her.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Indogene!

My brothers and sisters are still hungry.

You want me to burp them?

Bring me a native of Earth.

A native, of Earth. Now.

Coming right up.

Stupid Indogene.

You. Ginger.

Wait, why me? Why am I next?

That guy was here before me! No I wasn't!

He was here first! No, I wasn't!

You should be taking him first! You liar!

Take him! DATAK: Hey, leave the ginger.

Take me instead.

I do not wish to sit penned up like livestock.

I prefer to get this over with.

Hurry up, shape-taker!

No.

Why not?

Because I can't bear to see it, okay?

Let's go!

I'll be right there!

I might not be able to say no to the boss,

but I sure as hell can say no to you.

Come on, Red.

Wait, wait.

You're not fooling anyone.

What?

All this false compassion. The crocodile tears.

You play at having a heart, but it's a convenient fiction.

You're a conglomeration of stem cells.

A machine that learned to mimic emotion through careful observation.

That's not true. No?

You'd like me and all these people around me to believe

that this ordeal is a deep burden upon your soul,

but the truth is, you don't have a soul!

You're wrong! You're empty!

A golem!

Wow.

You really want out of this cage, don't you?

Meh, I'm sorry.

I just can't take the waiting. It's torture.

If there's anything left of a friendship between us, please...

Please, end this for me.

Hey... Andina.

Please don't be angry.

What? Why would I be angry?

She insisted on coming.

Okay. I don't wanna hear it.

It's time you both talked.

That's not for you to decide!

Hey!

Hey. You had no right to bring her here!

Not here. Okay.

This was Christie's house!

The yelling upsets him.

Me too.

I needed to see you.

Well, you've seen me.

Now get out.

Your father is missing.

Come on, Enchanters.

Come and take a taste of Datak Tarr.

Datak got one!

There, there.

Well, that shouldn't cause any unwanted attention.

Will he be all right?

A little TLC, a little protoform, he'll be fine.

I think the female Omec has taken him.

Oh, yeah? Why would she do that?

Kindzi wants me to suffer before killing me.

Maybe you shouldn't have had sex with her father.

Please.

Please do not attack me.

Not right now.

Oh, I'm sorry. That was great.

Great show.

Did you practice in front of a mirror?

Stop it!

It occurs to me, Mother, that if the Omec

really are trying to get to you

through your family,

well then you've led them straight to my front door!

To Luke's front door!

Did you not think of that?

You know, Pilar was right about you.

You're a classic narcissist.

Andina!

Bring the baby!

You're right.

I was upset. I did not think clearly.

We have to go somewhere safe.

Somewhere she won't think to look for us.

Pack a bag.

I'll hurry Andina along.

What's the matter, Officer? Was I speeding?

Step out of the roller, Doc.

I'm, uh, actually making a house call

out to Freddy the Liberata's place.

Kind of in a rush here. Oh, yeah?

How is old Freddy these days?

He's got a high fever, vomiting.

Might be the I-rath flu.

Ah.

Some of your patients have been going missing.

Quite a few in a short span of time.

I've had a lot of no-shows lately.

Might be some connection. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a life to save.

What was that?

What?

That.

I want an explanation now.

I value my patient's privacy.

Omec.

What's going on?

Why are you working with them?

I heal everybody, regardless of race, color, or creed.

What about that poor woman in the field? The one they were eating?

How were you helping to heal her?

Nolan, look. What is that?

What's on the back of your neck? That's just a mole.

I should... I should really have that looked at.

Ow! Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow.

That really...

That really hurts! Ahhh!

Oh, thank God.

What was that thing?

An Omec control stem.

Give me that.

Please, Amanda.

Looks like momma got her groove back.

Was this your endgame?

What?

All this.

What are you talking about?

Andina! You showing up here,

accidentally putting Luke and me in danger.

I... I wasn't thinking.

No, that's not it.

You're always thinking.

That's what makes you so exhausting to deal with.

Yes, Favi Stahma?

Put the baby in the roller.

No, you know, stay put, Andina.

My mother will be leaving alone.

Alak.

I didn't get it at first, but now I do.

See, you figured that we'd have no choice but to go with you.

As usual, you found a way to exploit a crisis

and turn it into your own advantage.

I would never intentionally put our family in danger.

Our family is a fraud!

The fine clothes on your back,

the plentiful food in your belly.

There was nothing fraudulent about that, was there?

The record albums, your own car.

You never wanted for anything.

Petek Keev.

Petek Keev.

For God's sake.

In the name of family,

you made me beat the living crap out of that kid.

He was a despicable little runt.

He was my friend.

If we had not forced your hand, you would have been mocked.

I was seven years old!

Old enough to uphold your liro!

Petek Keev was an innocent little kid!

With jekking asthma!

But because he was in the Yuke liro,

I was supposed to knock his teeth out?

And when I finally did,

when I couldn't stop crying

because of what you made me do to my friend,

to my friends.

You laughed at me.

Your father laughed.

I did not.

Don't blame Dad!

You control everything that happens in this family.

At one time, yes.

But I lost control of my life

the day that you and Christie were kidnapped.

Since then, the harder I fight to regain control,

the less remains.

I love you, my son.

I want you to love me back,

I want your respect.

But I understand the nature of loss.

Sometimes it is inevitable.

I'm sorry I came.

It was never my intent to put my family in danger,

but I understand why you would suspect the worst of me.

Mom.

Mom, I wanna believe you mean it

but you never mean anything you say.

Goodbye.

Love.

Mom, don't.

Just stop, okay? Look it's...

It's dangerous out there.Oh.

I will be fine.

What should I do? Should I...

Should I go after her? Should I stop her?

That's what she wants me to do.

Do you want an honest opinion?

Yeah. Of course.

Forget your mother.

Think about Luke. He's in danger if we stay here.

No! Please!

Let me go!

Ah!

Okay. Okay.

Can we... Can we just talk about this?

No. No.

Okay.

Dear God, if you are real,

I'm sorry that I didn't believe in you.

But I swear, I believe in you right now.

I knew you'd come.

None of these are Kindzi.

She's still out there somewhere.

With more on the way.

You weren't in control of your actions.

So what?

People died. Because of me.

I know the feeling.

Now get over it and move on.

We got a war to fight.

Yours is the last bag to move, Favi.

Thanks, Andina.

I don't...

I don't know what I would've done without you

these past few weeks.

You shame me.

I'm sworn to your family.

I'm yours always.

I'm...

I'm sorry. It's, um...

It's too soon.

No, the fault is mine, Favi.

Alak.

Just...

Just call me Alak.

I'm a patient person, Alak.

I can wait.

Your mother's come back.

Favi?

Run.

Run.

All right. Your turn.

My father is dead because of you.

He's dead because you murdered him.

Quiet, Casti whore!

Really?

What is that I hear?

Please.

Please.

No.

No!

Nice try.

No!

No!

Leave him alone!

No!

No.

No.
