Defiance

Previously on Defiance .

What is it with you and that Nolan guy, anyway?

He saved me.

What did Nolan do to save you?

He murdered my parents.

We need this mag-lev spur.

Not if it means taking a loan from the Earth Republic.

If Rynn is behind these killings,

we need to find her before anybody else gets hurt.

I toss these pheromones, you all die.

Rynn, that nest gets any bigger,

it's gonna kill everybody in town.

Is that what you really want?

I'm going to prison.

How can that be the correct path?

Good morning, Defiance.

This is Alak Tarr on Raider Radio

broadcasting from the top of the arch.

And listen, I don't care if you're Castithan, Irathient,

Human, whatever.

This music is for you.

I've just received radar and visual confirmation

that the land coach has arrived.

Hope I get my raisins from Fresno.

All right, so just a quick stop

to unload cargo and pick up new passengers,

then it heads on to Calexico and points west.

So if you got business with the big, bad outside world,

you need to move it or wait another two weeks.

______

Crazy bitch.

Got that right.

Where's the prisoner going?

Changes coaches in Yuma

and boards a transport to Vegas prison.

Make sure she's chained good and tight.

- I don't want any trouble. - Don't worry.

The lawkeeper himself's gonna escort this one.

Okay.

Let's go.

Well, mail call's quite the event around here.

Well, that'll change once we get our railroad line.

And remember, you're carrying the hopes and tax receipts

of all the folks here that are footin' the bill.

Guess I better keep it safe and sound

till we get to Calexico then.

This town's a lot bigger than I remember.

Shtako. It's Olfin Tennety.

She's an E-Rep Ambassador.

I've been ducking her correspondence for weeks.

Amanda Rosewater.

You naughty girl.

You haven't been responding to my letters.

I haven't been ignoring them.

I'm just not interested in your offer.

These are my husbands Kaspar and Ziggy.

They're keeping me company

while I do some E-Rep business in Calex.

Boys, this is Amanda.

She used to be an assistant at Republic HQ.

Why would you leave New York to come here?

I mean, the washed-out roads and shoddy vehicles, bandits.

Your husbands are lovely.

I was drunk.

Looks like we're sharing the same land coach.

Be the perfect opportunity for me to sell you

on the benefits of working with us.

Don't bother.

We've raised the scrip to fund the railroad for ourselves.

I bet that's it in the case there, Amanda?

You know, the Votanis Collective will come calling eventually.

And when they do, trust me,

they won't be offering cash incentives.

It's a really dangerous world out there, Amanda.

The Earth Republic is a good friend to have.

The land coach departs in 20 minutes.

20 minutes.

Boys.

Driver's compartment is off-limits to passengers.

Keep the aisles clear, please.

Well, you weren't expecting a good-bye kiss, were you?

Come here.

Now, can I trust you to be a good girl

and behave yourself while I'm gone?

- Probably not. - There's my girl.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Can I get a drink right...

Yeah, just up the block and to the right.

Hey.

What's wrong? Who is that guy?

Nobody.

Thought it was someone I once knew.

S01 Ep05 - The Serpent's Egg -

I wonder what she did.

Why would they let her ride in here with us?

I'm gonna say something. I will.

- Say something. - Excuse me! Lawkeeper?

Your prisoner here, is she dangerous?

Just steer clear of her, you should be just fine.

She stinks. Can she ride up top?

Like, strap her to the roof or something?

Now, now, now.

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Romans 3:23.

Reverend Sy Preston, Church of Harmony.

Just out here spreading the good word.

I... can I interest you folks in a Bible?

Traveler's best friend.

Frankly, Reverend, I prefer scotch.

But thank you.

So listen to this.

They have Votan-mex cuisine in Yuma.

I vote for the old-world ribs.

How about we hit 'em both, boys?

Yes.

I can't wait.

I gotta hand it to those two.

They actually found a survival technique that works.

Yeah, hook up with a powerful woman

who pampers and protects 'em.

But you don't like polygamy?

Or are you just against men in subservient roles?

No. I get the allure.

Two sets of hands, two mouths, two...

I get the picture.

Justl don't know, I think it's hard enough

maintaining a relationship with one person.

Are you kidding me?

This is great.

Actually, I've thought about it.

Group marriage, I mean.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

I mean, it seems practical in the world we live in.

Look, we all have different sides to ourselves.

Multiple husbands might give me the opportunity

to be all that I can be.

Yeah.

Anyway, I don't buy

into the whole find-one-true-love fantasy.

What?

Nothing, just a feeling I have about you.

Please, share.

Okay.

I think all that talk is just a smoke screen.

I think if you don't believe in love,

it's because you have been in love

and you got burned.

Hey, handsome.

When did you blow into town?

Just got off the land coach from Cedars.

Pleasant trip?

It's murder on my back.

Why don't you come upstairs for a hot oil massage?

I'll straighten out your kinks,

teach you some new ones.

Thank you for the offer, young lady,

but I'm married.

Happily married.

What's this lucky lady's name?

Gaya.

She lives in New York with our daughter Daimya.

I don't see nearly enough of her.

I've been... I travel so much for work.

Just seems like every time I see her,

she's grown another couple inches.

Feels like I'm missing her childhood.

Poor baby.

Come on upstairs.

I'll make it all better for you.

Thank you. I think it's time for me to go.

Can I help you?

Help me!

Hello, Daigo.

Nasty cut.

Gonna leave a scar.

I'm Thesho Zajino.

My name is Thesho Zajino.

I don't know who you think I am!

You're lying, Daigo.

I know it's you.

I remember your smell.

I could never forget it.

______

You tortured me.

You're gonna confess.

That's crazy.

I've never even seen you before.

Tell me why you did what you did

or you're gonna die here.

I don't know what's going through your head,

but I know what's about to.

______

Yeah.

Sit.

Where is it?

Don't make me strip search you

in front of all of these fine people.

Where is it?
