Defiance (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Everything Is Broken - full transcript

.

- So this election of yours
is gonna be a close one.

- 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.

- I'm not
letting you resign.

- If datak
wins this election,

He is gonna kick open the doors
to colonel marsh

And his e-rep goons,
and a year from now,

You won't even recognize
this place.



- I am going
to tell your husband

Everything about you
and me.

He has no idea
that you've been

Chupping his favorite whore.

- This will end
very badly for you.

- Doc!
Doc!

- [groans]
- what the hell is that?

Where's my daughter?

Irisa?

- [grunts]

Rynn.

- Looks like irisa
came this way.

Blood drops are getting
more frequent.

Uh, blood's pooled here.



She's laying up.

[sighs]

Someone else has come in
from this direction,

And they...

Dragged her off.

Mm-hmm.
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.

- Good morning, defiance.

It's election day,
and may the best candidate win.

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 gonna 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.

[speaking native language]

North end?
- Covered.

- The towers.
- Covered.

- Nehi?

A simple question!
Is nehi covered?

- It's a street full
of slamheads and adreno freaks.

- And their votes
will be counted.

We can't afford to lose
a single votan.

- Does my husband have to do
everything around here?

Go.

- Stahma.

I could lose this.

- You need to relax,
my love.

[alternative music]

¶

¶

- You've never done
that before.

- I'm always looking
for new ways to please you.

[indistinct chatter]

- Madam mayor,
right this way.

- Hi.
Here we go.

- Thanks for voting.

- Thank you.
Appreciate it.

[indistinct chatter]

- Ms. Rosewater,
quick photo, please?

- Of course.

- Thank you.
That's great.

- Hello, father tarr.
- Hello.

My beautiful wife is here
to cast her vote.

Isn't she...

[chuckling]

- She's lovely.

I'd keep an eye on her
if I were you.

[indistinct chatter]

- There's only
one other person

Who did
what you just did to me.

[chuckles]

And I pay her
by the hour.

I know
you betrayed me.

I should open your guts
right here

In front
of these good people.

But a vote
is a vote.

[chuckles]

Make sure you check
the right name, darling.

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

¶

¶

- You two,
man the door.

[indistinct chatter]

[door opens]

[door closes]

- Did you ever hear
of knocking?

[indistinct chatter]

- [speaking native language]

- [speaking native language]

Sukar, wake up.

I need you.

[both speaking native language]

[both speaking native language]

- [speaking alien language]

Hey, kiddo.

Glad to see
you're okay.

Nice handiwork.

You the one
who patched her up?

Thank you.

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.

- The votan ship

With the extremely powerful
weapons 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 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 artifact
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'm willing to make
a deal.

- Be sure to make it look
like an accident.

We don't want to make
a bad impression.

- There are two artifacts
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.

- [clears throat]
doctor.

Allow me to properly
introduce myself.

I'm special consultant
jonah keller,

Informally known
as black jonah.

Perhaps you've heard
of me.

I'm a professional interrogator,

And I enjoy my work
to an arguably indecent degree.

Love the hardware.

- Like I said,
I'm here to help.

- So there's a crashed ship
underneath defiance?

- According to yewll,
there's a weapon on board

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.

Should've 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.

- No, you were a little girl
in a bad situation.

My little girl.

- 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.

- 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 edmund field
at 1800 hours.

[door closes]

- We're gonna get you
away from here,

Find a real doctor, and get
those things out of your body.

And we're gonna go back
to plan "a" like we started.

We're gonna head south.

We're gonna put the town
of defiance in our rearview.

Move.

- Go, go.

[indistinct chatter]

- These guys don't look or move
like e-rep regulars.

They're mercenaries.

I think I recognize
the leader.

Hard case by the name
of black jonah,

Works out of marin.

To get him
all the way out here.

- Shut up!
Sit down!

- [speaking alien language]

- [speaking alien language]

- We could take 'em.
- No, no way.

Too many.

[sighs]
we let this play out.

- What do you think
you guys are doing?

You have
no jurisdiction here.

You can't just bust
into the camp like that.

[groans]

[both grunt]

- [groans]

[indistinct chatter]

- Come out, come out
wherever you are, sweet pea.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[gunshot]

- [groans]

- Stay down.

- I will run out
of bodies

Long before I run out
of bullets.

- Don't.

- It's tommy.
No more shooting.

- There.
On the ridge.

- I'm coming down.

While he's distracted,
climb the ridge and get clear.

- One rule:

We live
or die together.

- You're an idiot.

- I'm the idiot.

[tense music]

¶

[indistinct chatter]

- Here's the final tally,
councilwoman bailey.

- Thank you.

- This one there.
Yeah?

Okay, now this one.
Yes, okay, yes.

- Fellow citizens,
the election results are in.

All votes have been tallied
and verified.

It is my duty
to announce the name

Of the next mayor
of defiance...

Datak tarr.

[all cheering]

Datak tarr wins the election
by a narrow margin.

The final count
was 2,436 votes for tarr,

2,110 for incumbent
amanda rosewater,

And 87 votes undecided.

[cheers and applause]

[indistinct chatter]

The election of datak tarr
comes after a long

And acrimonious campaign
rife with allegation,

Corruption,
and mismanagement.

- It's official.

Looks like you backed
the right horse, sir.

- [scoffs]

You know,
I miss horses.

They had
such dignity.

Let's head over to the mines
and get this over with.

- Bring them all out!

- [groans]

[indistinct chatter]

- [groaning]

- Hey.
Hey!

What do you want
with her?

- The girl's
under arrest.

- What for?

- Stealing.

- Bullshtak.
[grunts]

[groans]

- I just
received confirmation.

Regular army's secured
the l-7 mine.

They've set up
a perimeter.

- Sounds like a party.
Let's move.

Stay here.

Clean up.

[engine starts]

[both grunting]

[both grunting]

Both: Good night.
- Sorry, amanda.

- Thank you.
- We did everything we could.

- Hey.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry.
- [laughs]

Who wants
to be mayor, anyway?

I mean, all day,
everyone I meet

Say they're angry at me
or want something from me.

And either way,
they're never satisfied.

At least in your line of work,
people like you.

And they're
always satisfied.

- 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

Give me a hug.
- I'm fine. I'll be fine.

[chuckles]

I'll be fine.

[chuckles]

I'll be fine.

[soft music]

¶

- I did not think
you would come.

- I'm surprised myself.

- I have a roller
on the other side of the hill.

I've arranged
to rendezvous

With a land coach
headed to chicago.

I'm sorry I made you walk
so far in the cold.

Here.
Drink something.

- Stahma...

What's in the flask?

Drugs?

Poison?

- Nothing of the kind.
- So drink it.

- I'm not thirsty--
- drink it.

All of it, now.

Yeah.
I thought so.

Move.

Now.

Let's find that roller
of yours.

- It was penance.

I had to show my husband
I was serious about atonement.

- I know.

A nice strato-carrier
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?

- 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.

- [sighs]

- The poison
was on the flask.

I've got you.

It's all right.

Go to sleep.

I'll take care
of you.

[singing in native language]

¶

Pretty little human.

[indistinct chatter]

- I want those keys
removed from the girl

And implanted
in one of our soldiers.

- That may be difficult.
- Why?

You said both keys
were inside her.

- We can't find them.

- What?

- They seem
to have been

Completely absorbed
into her cells.

- If you're playing us,

I will scalp
that golf ball head of yours

And wear it for a hat.

- What's a golf ball?
- She's telling the truth.

Let's run
the high-voltage charge,

Try and draw them
back together.

- No, it'll burn her
to a crisp.

- It's survivable.
- So is castration.

- I'm sure
you'll do it

In the most tender way
possible, doctor.

Let's go.

[dog barking]

[dramatic music]

¶

[door opens]

Congratulations.

You have earned this.

- You've managed
to suck this victory dry

Of any joy
I might have experienced.

- Oh, the mines, yes.

Well, I'm sorry about moving up
the timetable like that.

- You blockaded the mines
during my victory party.

I had to hear about it
from a newspaper reporter.

I had no idea
what she was talking about

- Uh-huh, well,
the earth republic

Will find a way
to make it up to you.

- What was the rush?
Why didn't you wait for me?

This was never
about the gulanite, was it?

- Smart man.
- What, then?

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.

- You are
one uppity little haint.

You know, after all of this
is over,

You're going right back
to being a nobody.

- [groaning]

[screams]

[groans]

- Whatever you did to me
in my office,

Do it again.

- What are you doing?
- Checking her condition.

She needs water.

- Getting soft
in your old age, doc?

Word is you
used to dissect humans

While they were alive
and kicking.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was a monster.

I regret my past,
and I'm trying to do better.

You should be
taking notes.

- [groaning]

- [groaning]

- I've done
as you asked.

- Thank you, stahma.

You are a good wife.

- They're looking
for the colonel downstairs.

- They won't
find him downstairs.

He's right there.

[dramatic music]

¶

¶

- Colonel marsh?
Sir?

- The earth republic
will come for us.

Masters of our fate
no longer.

I miss home.

- I know.

So do I.

- Sir!

Colonel marsh.
[door opens]

- [groans]

Ah!

[indistinct voices]

- Full power.

- [grunts]

[dramatic music]

¶

Hey.

- [shushing]

What's goin' on?

- Our new mayor
didn't waste any time.

Seized the mines and turned them
over to the earth republic.

The bastards rolled in here
waving guns and paperwork.

Once my boys
get the word out,

We're gonna drive these punks
out of defiance.

- No.
No time for that.

- [groans]
- they got irisa.

- You're determined
to get me shot, ain't ya?

- Yeah, it's a lifelong ambition
of mine.

- let's go!

- [groaning]

[gunfire]

[indistinct shouting]

- Let's go!
Move!

- Let's go!

Go!

- Good girl.

[gunshots]

[shouting]

- Ahh!

[distant gunfire]

- Hey.

Hey, kiddo.

It's all right.

It's all right.
I'm here.

All right, we're gonna get you
out of here.

- Move it, move!
- That's the way.

That's my girl.

- It came out
and attacked everyone.

It's back inside me.
- Okay, all right.

Just look
at me, okay?

Keep your eyes on me.

I'm gonna get you
out of these.

Gonna get you home.

- [crying]
- that's it.

That's it.

- [grunts]

[gunshots]

- Nolan, hurry up.
[gunshot]

Aah!

[indistinct shouting]

[groans]
[gunfire]

[indistinct shouting]

- Well, looks like
you caught a couple.

- I'll live.

Get irisa,
and get out of here.

- I'll cover you.
- [groans]

- You up to this?

- Don't worry about me.

Let's go.

- Okay.

Run.
Run.

- No.
- Yes.

- Shut up.
We have one rule.

We live
or die together.

- It's a stupid rule.
- No.

- I'm sorry.
- No, nolan.

Nolan!

No.
No!

[grunts]

Nolan.

Nolan, get up.

Nolan.
Get up, nolan.

Nolan, come on.

- We have
a rule, nolan.

Nolan.

Nolan.

[cries]

Get up.

[whimpers]

[cries]

[cries]

I love you.

- [crying]

Sukar?
- [speaks native language]

[both speaking native language]

[both speaking native language]

Nolan no longer
walks your path.

Your fate
lies below.

There is a great evil
in that mine.

You must face it
and make your choice.

- What if my destiny
is to set it free?

- What if my destiny
is to set it free?

[dramatic music]

¶

¶

Who are you?

- You can
call me irzu.

- Irzu.

You're not real.

- I'm as real
as you are.

- I don't believe
in you.

- You're fooling yourself.

You've come this far.

You want
what I offer.

- No, I don't.

I didn't
wanna be here.

Nolan, we--
- you wanna bring him back.

It's okay.
Admit what's in your heart.

- I can't lose him.
What will it cost me?

- Everything,
devouring mother, destroyer.

You must become.
- How can I become?

What do I need
to do?

- You must become
my weapon.

Each stone is a step...

Both: In irzu's path.

- I will show you
the first step, but...

You must take
the next.

Are you ready?

[speaking native language]

Become.
