"NOLAN:" "Previously on Defiance..." "So, this election of yours is gonna be a close one." "I like my chances." "Ms Rosewater, Defiance could use a friend like the Earth Republic." "With the Earth Republic at our side, this town will only prosper and grow." "AMANDA:" "I'm not letting you resign." "NOLAN:" "If Datak wins this election, he's gonna kick open the doors to Colonel Marsh and his E-Rep goons." "And a year from now, you won't even recognise this place." "I am going to tell your husband everything about you and me." "He has no idea that you've been chupping his favourite whore." "This will end very badly for you." " (SOBBING)" " Doc!" "Doc!" "(IRISA GROANING)" "NOLAN:" "What the hell is that?" "Where's my daughter?" "Irisa!" "(GRUNTS)" "IRISA:" "Rynn." "NOLAN:" "Looks like Irisa came this way." "The blood drops are getting more frequent." "Uh, the blood's pooled here." "She's lain up." "Someone else is coming from this direction and they dragged her off." "Mmm-mmm." "Yeah." "See?" "It's not right." "What's not right?" "Well, you know what he did, forcing you to quit." "I didn't quit, Tommy." "Amanda fired me and that's the story you're gonna stick to, okay?" "Yeah." "So, are you and Irisa gonna leave town?" "We have to find her first." "Yeah. (SNIFFLES)" "Come on, son." "Let's go get her." "ALAK:" "Good morning, Defiance!" "It's election day," " and may the best candidate win." " (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)" "And the polls are open for another six hours, so get to the Darby Building and make your voice heard!" "I think we all know who I'm going to be voting for." "A vote for Datak Tarr is a vote for the future of Defiance." "So, get out there, my little beat-freaks, and pull the lever for the Man in White." "He'll treat us right!" "What does he think he's doing?" "He's being supportive." "It's excessive." "Someone call the Arch and tell my son to shut up!" "North end?" "Covered." " The towers?" " Covered." "Nehi?" "A simple question." "Is Nehi covered?" "It's a street full of slam-heads and Adreno freaks..." "And their votes will be counted!" "We can't afford to lose a single Votan." "Were you born stupid?" "Does my husband have to do everything around here?" " Go!" " (BREATHING HEAVILY)" "Stahma," "I could lose this." "You need to relax, my love."

"(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)" "There's only one other person who did what you just did to me, and I pay her by the hour." "I know you've betrayed me."

"He is dead inside." "Thanks to Nolan." "I told you." "Nolan didn't mean for this to happen." "I heard things about him out West." "Never took you for a gossip, Rynn." "Hiya, kiddo." "Glad to see you're okay." "Nice handiwork." "You the one who patched her up?" "Thank you." "I did it for Sukar." "You don't deserve my mercy." "No argument there." "Why'd you run?" "I don't know." "I just knew I had to go." "I dreamed I was following someone." "Someone who could give me answers." "I always assumed you people were after the gulanite mines." "The Earth Republic at large, perhaps." "And they shall have them thanks to your soon-to-be-mayor." "But I'm after something much bigger." "The Kaziri." "I'm not familiar... (INHALES)" "The Votan ship with the extremely powerful weapon system hidden at the bottom of those mines." "You know, the one that your kind has been searching for, for almost 3,000 years." "Yes, I have been watching you and, uh, Nicky Riordan and Solomon Birch, waiting patiently for one of you to lead me to it." "Just tell me where to find the girl, and the artefact that you discovered inside her." "No?" "Jonah, do we have any leads?" "I have men combing the town." "We'll find her." "That would make the doctor expendable." "I am willing to make a deal." "(GLASS SHATTERS)" "MARSH:" "Be sure to make it look like an accident." "We're new in town." "We don't want to make a bad impression." "There are two artefacts inside of her." "So both keys are active and both are inside the Irathient girl." "Where is she?" "What do you plan to do with her?" "I would be more concerned with what we plan to do with you." "JONAH: (CLEARS THROAT) Doctor, allow me to properly introduce myself." "I'm Special Consultant Jonah Keller, informally known as Black Jonah." "(CLATTERING)" "Perhaps you've heard of me." "I am a professional interrogator and I enjoy my work to an arguably indecent degree." "Love the hardware." "Like I said, I'm here to help." "IRISA:" "So there's a crashed ship underneath Defiance?" "According to Yewll, there's a weapon onboard that could kill every human being on the planet, or every Votan, depending on how you use it." "That's what everybody's after." "The cult you rescued me from." "They were looking for the Angel of Death who could carry the keys." "To trigger the weapon?" "It needs two, just like our old nukes." "And now they're both inside me." "So, my visions are connected?" "Yeah." "I should have taken them more seriously sooner." "Sorry about that." "You know what the cult called me?" "The Devouring Mother." "What's inside you doesn't determine..." " The Destroyer." " You determine who you are." "I'm the Angel of Death." "No." "You were a little girl in a bad situation." "My little girl." "KENYA:" "I don't believe you." "Believe what you want." "He threatened to kill me." "I can only imagine what he has planned for you." "I thought you said that he already knew, and that he didn't care." "When I said that, I was lying." "I'm not lying now." "Uh-huh." "Well, why don't I go to Nolan or Amanda?" "You'll start a war that won't stop." "People will die." "Is that what you want?" "No, you should leave town while you still can." "That's what I'm doing." "You can come with me if you want." "And why should I believe you?" "You threatened to kill me." "(SIGHS)" "You think you understand Castithans, but you don't." "You are not Castithan." "You are not subject to our laws." "And you don't deserve to be hurt by them." "If you gave a shtako about me, you would have stopped your husband from hurting my sister." "I suppose I'm not as brave as you." " I'll be at Edmond Field at 1800 hours." " (DOOR OPENS)" "(DOOR CLOSES)" "NOLAN:" "I'm gonna get you away from here." "Find a real doctor and get those things out of your body." "And then we're gonna go back to Plan A, like we started." "We're gonna head south, and we're gonna put the town of Defiance in our rear-view." "(VEHICLE APPROACHING)" "Move." "MAN:" "Move!" "Move!" "(MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY)" "NOLAN:" "These guys don't look or move like E-Rep regulars." "They're mercenaries." "I think I recognise the leader, hard case by the name of Black Jonah." "Works out of Marin." "It'd take a hell of a big contract to get him all the way out here." "(GRUNTS)" "I am looking for Irisa Nolan, a daughter of Irzu." "She is wanted for crimes against my people." "Bring her to me and nobody gets hurt." " We could take them." " No, no way." "Too many." "(EXHALES) We let this play out."

"At least in your line of work, people like you." " And they're always satisfied. (LAUGHS)" " Almost always satisfied." " You were a great mayor." " Mm." "No, not great." "But I was pretty damn good." "A really good sister." "You've sacrificed a lot for me." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "I'm fine." "I just wanted to say that if I..." "If I didn't say thank you enough, it was because" "I was so jealous of you." " Oh, Kenya." "No, look, I lost an election." " Shh." "You don't have to talk me off a ledge." "I'm fine." "I'll be fine.

"Now." "Let's find that roller of yours." "It was penance." "I had to show my husband I was serious about atonement." "KENYA:" "I know a nice Stratocarrier in the middle of nowhere." "And if your husband wants to see you alive again, he'll have to meet my demands." "Which are?" "Get out of Defiance for good." "He'll never agree to that." "Then you're dead." "Did you ever care for me at all?" "(SIGHS)" "What does that matter?" "Was I always just a client to you?" "Nothing more?" "Just a client." "It was a new experience for me, opening myself up to a relationship outside my liro, outside my family." "It was exhilarating." "(GASPS)" "The poison was on the flask." "I've got you." "It's all right." "(WHISPERING) Go to sleep." "I'll take care of you." "(SINGING IN CASTI)" "Pretty little human."

"What's down there?" "Sorry." "Need-to-know." "Oh, I think you need me to know." "Now, right this minute." "I've worked hard to take control of this town, to win respect." "And in one reckless act, you've trivialized me." "Come morning, every soul in this town will be asking themselves who's running the place, Datak Tarr or the Earth Republic?" "Yes, well, as I say, you will be compensated." "Yes." "Castithans love money." "Can't get enough of it." "Amusing." "Now, I strongly suggest you dig deep and afford me some courtesy!"
