Defiance

Previously on Defiance...

- The kid has the artifact? - Luke had it with him when he died.

The young brother has found it.

Kill him, Quentin! You have to.

There are good people here.

If you try to assimilate, they will meet you halfway.

I will do as you ask.

You know, these visions of yours,

- if they are somehow connected... - "If"?

I'm not like you. I'm an alien. And you made me afraid of that.

Razor rain.

Sukar!

S01 Ep07 = Good Bye Blue Sky =

Good morning, Defiance.

This is Alak Tarr on Raider Radio broadcasting

from the top of the arch.

You just heard an earthpop cover from Semma Cru.

Next up,

Lokyulo Dwoken with music for a stormy night on Casti.

Looks like rain.

Good excuse for us to hang up here and make out.

You smell amazing.

Alak, it's mayor Rosewater.

You know why I'm calling.

Yeah.

I listened to your album.

Wanted to disinfect my record player after.

Listen, you little punk. I'm the damn mayor.

Play Shiny happy people or you're fired.

Oh, and don't forget to update the weather.

Did you just hang up on the mayor?

She was giving me attitude.

I had a weird conversation with your mom yesterday.

She was talking about a bathing ritual.

Oh... that.

She said it was a ceremony for Newlyweds.

It's just some stupid old custom from the home world.

The whole family together in a bathtub?

It's something the higher liros still do.

Look, I-I know it probably sounds bizarre.

We're all supposed to be naked?

No!

Not really.

The women wear these beads.

You didn't think I'd have a problem with that?

It's just 20 minutes out of your life.

Yes, it'll be weird, but you'll be fine.

I promise.

Ah, it's getting nasty out there.

Just finished rain-proofing the school roof.

The principal's so grateful, she kissed me on the lips.

At least I hope it was a "she." You can't tell

the difference with those Liberata.

What are you doing?

Did you remember to pack your socks?

You know how grumpy you get when your feet are cold.

I'm going to the badlands. Sukar's in danger.

I had a vision.

You coming or not?

What's the problem, boss?

Nothing.

- Nicky. - Rafe. Hello.

So sorry to drop in at such an early hour.

I was taking baked goods to the prisoners at camp reverie... outreach.

And then, my roller just died.

And you need me to check it out.

Oh, no. I hailed the Sensoth garage.

I just need somewhere to wait out this ghastly weather.

Well, make yourself at home.

Quentin. Good morning, love.

You know I never could get a handle on those darn rollers.

My man Birch usually drives me.

Unfortunately, Birch is in Iowa visiting family.

You know, that man has eight brothers and sisters.

If you ask me, that's not a family.

That's a litter.

He has allergies.

- Jered. - I'll get it.

- I've got this. - Mm-hmm.

What a nice surprise.

I thought that you were here for your husband's weekly collection.

He's out of town.

I'm here to secure your professional services for my son.

I want to make sure it's handled properly.

As you may have heard,

my son is marrying Christie McCawley.

I... I've heard.

I want Alak educated with regard to the eccentricities

of the Human female libido.

Making love to one of you is enormously complicated.

We're really not complex.

What about this "G-spot"?

It's one of your major erogenous zones,

yet it took your own scientists centuries

to confirm it even existed.

It's not mysterious if you know what you're doing.

Exactly why Alak needs you.

When Christie recounts the events

of her wedding night to her father,

he'll understand that he married

his daughter into the highest possible...

- You're laughing at me. - Trust me.

No human girl is going to ever want

to talk wedding sex with her father,

especially when her father is Rafe McCawley.

You've insulted me.

You have to admit, it's just a little bit funny.

We have a saying, "seeming is being."

Treating me like a fool makes me one.

And I am no one's fool.

Wait.

Please.

I'm sorry.

You caught me off guard.

Do you think it's easy for a woman

of my marusha to come here?

I didn't mean to insult you,

so I'm not gonna let you walk out of here mad.

Please, let me buy you a drink.

There is a storm coming. I don't have time.

Just one drink.

And then we can talk about Alak.

Come on.

I saw those mountains in my vision.

We're close.

[Irathients shouting in native language]

How?

The sky opened and took him.

I'm so sorry, kiddo.

We are preparing the sinking ritual.

You are welcome to attend, Little Wolf...

But your Human must go.

Nolan, look.

You say the sky took him. You mean the storm.

Razor rain.

Yep.

Everyone in town thinks it's a normal rainstorm.

We got to warn them. Let's go.

I can't.

I'm staying for Sukar's sinking ritual.

You can come back for me when the storm passes.

I'll be all right.

Little Wolf is safe in our care.

You have my word.

Be careful.

[Both singing in native language]

Do we have to talk about this now?

We're not leaving this arch until we talk about this.

Look. You Humans think too much.

Okay, you worry about everything,

you're way too hung up on your bodies.

And Castis are better?

Okay, you don't want to do

the bathing ritual, just tell my parents no.

How about you tell them no?

How about you're the one who talks to my parents,

and I'm the one who spins awesome tunes?

Yep.

Alak, we have an emergency.

I need you to patch me through to the entire town.

- You're on. - This is lawkeeper Nolan .

The cloud approaching Defiance is a razor rain storm.

For those of you who have never experienced razor rain,

you can expect sudden barrages of metal shrapnel,

fragments of the dead ships floating in the arkbelt.

The squalls are unpredictable

and can form anywhere at any time.

The metal fragments can easily slice through

exposed skin and conventional clothing.

Stay indoors.

Okay, Lambert,

I need you to supervise the temporary shelters

- at the all-faith. - Yes, ma'am.

Tommy, put together a strike team for any emergency repairs.

Irzu's path flows through us both.

There's work ahead.
