"Previously on "Defiance"..." "When an Omec Commander dies his children eat his vital organs and gain his strength." "So now his unhinged, unstoppable daughter is at the head of 10,000 Omec." "Under Kindzi's command the Omec will attempt to conquer this planet." "It is time for our Dread Harvest to begin." " [sobbing] - [growling] [screaming]" "Come on, Enchanters." "Come and take a taste of Datak Tarr." "[yells]" "None of these are Kindzi." "She's still out there somewhere." "With more on the way." "[yelps]" "My father's dead because of you." "He's dead because you murdered him." "[baby crying]" "What is that I hear?" "Please." "Please." "[grunting]" "No!" "No!" "[grunts] [baby wailing] [baby wailing]" "Please, I beg you, spare the child, and you may take my life in return." "I do not require permission to kill you." "Then take the most precious gift I have to offer..." "My free will." "Spare this child and I shall love you as my Enchanter." "I will obey your commands," "I will serve you, pleasure you." "And when my usefulness to you has ended, my body will provide nourishment." "Your offer is a good one, but I will still kill the child." "No, no, no..." "You've upset my wife!" "[screaming]" "How is she still alive?" "We should leave, go." "Come on, come!" "Go!" "Get to the roller." " Don't make me trip." " Let's go!" "[growling] [engine revs]" "Are you all right?" "I am now." "She killed Andina." "You know, she would have killed us too if Mom hadn't kept her talking." "You saved Luke." "I did no more than any mother would have done for her child." "No more than Christie did." "Don't push your luck." "You are healing well." "Forget my injury." "Why are the skies clear?" "Why are there no new arrivals?" "We had nothing to feed them." "I thought it prudent we halt the protocol until we had time to discuss the matter." "As a group." "_ Look at what the ursu sedolaz have done to our family." "There is but seven of us left." "We must return to the ship." "_" "_" "And I will not be questioned!" "You need nourishment for the hunt?" "Eat this." "Omec cannot eat Omec." "Are you refusing my order?" "Of course not..." "_" "You honor us with this gift." "Let us grow our strength, so we can hunt for food in town." "I will go reactivate the pods and bring down more of our family." "[indistinct chatter]" "Let's start by focusing on the positive." "Good news here is that by cutting off the Omec food supply we've forced them to go out and hunt." "Yeah, but given that they're hunting us, how is that good news?" "Well, we've slowed them down." "He's right." "When the Omec are first revived from the pods they're weak." "Eating makes them stronger." "There's no way Kindzi's gonna bring down any more Omec unless she's got something to feed them." "Or someone." "Okay, so we have a temporary advantage." "How do we best exploit that?" "We sneak onto their spaceship and blow them all to hell." " That sounds promising." " [door opens]" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Doctor Yewll is working with the Omec!" " Nolan, get outta my way!" " Hey!" "Stand down!" "Yewll's back on our team." "Yeah, you sure about that?" "Yes, I'm sure." "We're all sure." "[panting]" "Okay." "Okay, that's a good thing." "All right, kids, gather around and pay attention." "What we have here is the basic outline of an Omec harvester." "The boarding party will be me accompanied by three brave volunteers." "We're gonna hijack their ship-to-surface transit pods and arrive here, on the transit pad." "How do you know so much about Omec ships?" "It's entirely possible I've done this before." "We're gonna go here, to the control center." "We're going to unplug the arkbrain and wire me into the network." "A man in the engine room is going to manually deactivate the fail-safe and shut the engine exhaust vents." "This will allow me to overheat the engines and kaboom." "Bye-bye, Omec." "Are you sure this is gonna work?" "No." "Let's say we've succeeded, say we've disabled the engines." "What next?" "We run like hell and hope the descent pods still work." "How are the descent pods still gonna work without a functioning arkbrain?" "Let me worry about that." "This is our ride home." "I said I've got it covered." "[sighs] This is our only shot." "You can either trust me, or you can sit on your ass and let the Omec take the planet." "What's it gonna be?" "Are you in or not?" "All right then, I guess I'm in." " Me too." " And me." "No." "It is out of the question." "T'evgin's daughter caged me." "She threatened my family and my home." "I will settle the score." "If the mayor will have me." "[sighs] Ship full of Omec, a violent psychopath could come in handy." "Be my pleasure to serve." "_" "How long before we can leave?" "I'll need 20 minutes to prep." "Okay, you do that." "I'm gonna go address the town." "People of Defiance, the Omec are no longer allies." "They have turned on us." "Their plan is to feed." "To grow strong on the flesh of our people." "To take the town of Defiance and use it as a base, a launchpad from which to conquer the planet." "No, we cannot allow this to happen." "If Defiance falls, the Omec will have grown too plentiful, too powerful, for any force on Earth to stop them." "We must hold the line." "I let them into this town, sold our souls to get through a long winter, and for that, I am deeply sorry." "[playful gasp] [baby babbling]" "What do you see?" "What can you see?" "Huh?" "He really does like looking up at the clouds." "Yeah." "[chuckles softly]" "You're really good with him." "[laughs]" "You know when, uh, when this is finally over, and we're safe, you could spend some more time with him, if, you know, if you want." "I'd like that." "He really likes you." "I like him too." "Good speech." "Let's hope it's not my last." "Next stop, outer space." "[dramatic music]" "♪ ♪" "_ [gunshots]" "Filthy animal." "[screams]" "Run, run, all of you!" "Run!"

" [groaning]" "Move!" "Move!" "What the hell happened to her?" "Omec." "Okay, I need a heart monitor, a saline IV, and as many bandages as you can find... now!" "All right, set her up for a plasma transfusion." "Yes, ma'am." "Lie still." " Doc, why..." " Listen very carefully." "You've got a hole in your abdomen, and if you keep moving, it's gonna reopen and blood is gonna gush outta you like Christmas." "So stay still." "Why haven't you left yet?" "Because the Omec are hunting everyone in town and I am up to my elbows in blood, missy." "You almost died." "Doc saved you." "Saved all these people." "Nobody's life is important right now." "Nothing's important but getting on that ship and destroying it." "I'm sorry, Nolan, but that's true." "You have to leave." "[sighs]" "It's just not a party without you." "[laughs]" "Wish me luck?" "Oh, you don't need luck." "You'll be back." "You always come back." "And when you do..." " Then we'll talk." " Yeah." "Amanda, I'm a fugitive." "No matter how this turns out, it's only a matter of time before the V.C. show up looking to shove my head on a stake." "They're not gonna execute the man who saves them from an Omec invasion." " No?" " I'll make sure of it." "Oh, well, that's because they're so reasonable, those people from South America, so logical." "[chuckles, coughs] [sighs]" "No matter what happens on that spaceship, this is my final ride." "I know that, and I'm okay with it." "You're so full of shit." "Undeniably." "Mm."
