Defiance

Previously on Defiance...

I made a deal with the devil to save my father.

This devil was a machine, a ship bent on destroying the world.

It had big plans for me.

It made me destroy New York City and hurt the people I love.

What happened?

Did Irisa kill Tommy?

Yes.

You remember Pilar, Rafe's wife.

You're not still sick?

Never been better.

And if you struggle, you'll hurt the baby!

Pilar has kidnapped Alak and Christie.

Do you know how many people I have killed?

Do you know how many people you can still save?

To save the planet, we had to travel

into the heart of darkness.

The ship buried deep under the town of Defiance.

He did it.

Looks like we just saved the world.

That's it. Come on.

I love you, baby girl.

Any word on Nolan?

He disappeared.

Old Saint Louis is gone.

If Nolan was in the collapse, I'm afraid he's gone, as well.

7 MONTHS LATER

The Tsuroz is shutting itself down.

To conserve what's left of its power.

Father...

I am frightened.

Then let fear strengthen your resolve.

Our mission must not fail.

Ripped By mstoll

The gulanite is this way.

It may be guarded.

Too bad for the guards.

Madam Mayor, the stasis nets just went dark.

I ordered them to pull the plug.

Gulanite reserves are down to 3%.

City charter stipulates that all power

be diverted to heating and medical services.

And they're still asking for you at the NeedWant.

Of course.

With the stasis nets down,

the town is a sitting duck for raiders

or whatever else comes through

Bissel Pass.

You think I don't know that?

People are scared.

Yeah, well, I'm scared, too.

Don't tell anybody that.

McCAWLEY MINES

Better be an emergency, Lambert.

I got a town to run.

Well, it's Doc Yewll. She's up 30K.

Yewll?

She's not a gambler. What's she up to?

I don't know, but if she keeps going,

you know, she's gonna clean us out.

Doc Yewll.

You don't normally gamble in my establishment.

Just cutting loose. Getting my ya-yas out.

Winning big, I see.

Yeah.

You angling for a tip?

Here you go, legs.

Now, scoot.

Everybody stay calm!

Hand over your cash, scrip chips and jewelry!

Don't you move.

Everyone does as they're told, and everyone walks away!

Empty your pockets.

Empty them!

Turn around.

Move it!

Uh, I don't think so!

Get that safe open!

Friend, I don't run this place anymore.

You're still the owner!

But I don't know the combination.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me guess.

You're an out-of-work miner?

Hap, is that you under that mask?

Just get the scrip!

Things are pretty desperate around here, aren't they?

Mines collapsed, pow farms covered under a ton of snow,

construction jobs non-existent. But this,

this is not the answer.

Shut up and give me the jekking cash!

Berlin! Look out!

You okay?

It's been a day.

This is a Votan ark. What's it doing underground?

It must have crash landed.

Yes.

These life pods are losing power.

Daughter!

Not yet.

No one will miss him.

You must remain focused.

We didn't come here to feed.

You have too many rules.

I like his weapon.

Where's my daughter?

Do you speak Irathient?

Irisa?

Kiddo.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Kiddo? Hey.

You okay?

- You okay? - Your breath stinks.

Oh, you're all right.

All right.

Come on.

How'd we get here?

Where are we?

Oh.

Thank Christ.

OKLAHOMA CITY 500 MILES FROM DEFIANCE

Any movement?

No.

No patrols.

Good.

Come quickly, then.

We spotted them.

Bundle up, dear.

It's a walk.

It's an old joint Pilar's parents had when she was little.

Only my wife would be crazy enough to hole up behind enemy lines.

Our grandchild.

Have you seen Alak and Christie?

Not yet. They're probably inside.

If your wife has harmed them,

she will die an excruciating death.

And if she hasn't harmed them...

Same outcome.

I see your point.

How do we get down there?

Well, the incline's too steep.

We gotta go around the long way.

Come on, let's get back to the roller.

Nothing like the cold air to ward off croup.

Does he need to be changed?

Yeah, but don't worry, honey.

Grandma's got little Lukey.

Votanis Collective death squad.

They've taken our vehicle.

Shtako.

We can't let them discover the children.

All right.

Make it look good.

- Move. - Take it easy!

Stop where you are!

Drop your guns!

Don't shoot!

When heaven falls to earth...

...peace shall reign!

We are loyal to the collective.

Loyal to the Collective?

I shall be the judge of that.

I am General Rahm Tak.

The Beast.

You've heard of me.

I, however, find myself at a disadvantage.

I am Datak Tarr of the Shanje Liro.

Ah.

I know the name.

You're from Defiance.

A self-styled crime lord, are you not?

I have learned to make some small profit among the humans.

Small indeed.

Your donations to our common cause have been meager at best.

And you're only Shanje by marriage.

My lady.

I bask in starlit beauty.

You shame me with honor, Favi Tak.

Who's the pink-skin?

Who you calling pink-skin, you Edgar Winter piece of shtako?

Say your name!

Tell the general your name.

McCawley.

The name is Rafe McCawley.

Please don't kill him.

The human is our bounty.

There is a price on his head back in Defiance.

You are in luck.

My caravan is headed to your hometown.

We'll make camp here.

We can travel together once we've eaten and rested.

I won't take no for an answer.

I've been dying for some cultured company.

General Tak, may I ask what business you have in Defiance?

You may indeed.

I'm going to kill all the humans

and burn the disgusting place to the ground.

Your winnings.
