Defiance (2013–2015): Season 3, Episode 8 - My Name Is Datak Tarr and I Have Come to Kill You - full transcript

Previously on Defiance...

May I ask what business
you have in Defiance?

I'm going to kill all the humans

and burn the disgusting place
to the ground.

You and your wife
will act as my saboteurs,

destroying Defiance from within.

My mom and dad, they're working
as spies for the V.C.

Go! Go!

Datak Tarr, you've been
found guilty of high treason.

You are sentenced to die.

This town will turn on us if
they learn you're protecting a spy.



You're more trouble
than you're worth.

We might just have
the beginnings of a strike force.

We'll take
the battle to Rahm Tak

and catch him
with his pants down.

Why is the Amazing Goddess
not fighting by their sides?

My daughter is not capable
of picking up a weapon.

I have to go back.

No. Not today.

The end game
is coming, my friends.

In a few days
we will ride into Defiance.

Our Indogene Lieutenant Bebe
has assumed a human face

and has tunneled in
beneath the stasis nets.

My name is Datak Tarr.

My name is Datak Tarr.



My name is Datak Tarr...

...and I have come
to kill you.

Frightened?

You should be.

You will show me respect!

"A fool who takes up arms
only threatens himself."

This is not a toy.

I want a blade of my own.

Charge blades are for men,
not children.

Datak, my son...

...you have not earned...

...a man's weapon.

Ripped By mstoll

Isn't that Rahm's spy?

So it is.

Too bad it had to end like this.

Come on.

The targets have
entered the NeedWant.

Is the sphere online?

Fully operational.

Well, let's do this.

Well, he was brave in the end.

Datak Tarr?

Yeah, well, he chose
to suffer on the rack.

To atone.

I hope it works for him. I hope
it makes him right with his god.

I hope his god shoves
a giant lightning bolt up his ass.

I'm not saying I forgive him.
I'm just saying that he was brave.

Braver than his wife.

Braver than Berlin?

I don't want to talk about her.

You two got pretty close
while I was gone.

I just expected more from her.

When the E-Rep fell
apart she was lost.

I gave her a badge.
I let her into my life.

I treated her like a sister.

Well, that was
your first mistake.

Kenya would have never run.

Drop the weapon, Lawkeeper.

Eject the mag and
slide the gun over!

They're gonna kill us anyway.
Just shoot him.

Shoot through me if you have to!

They're wearing body armor.
Wouldn't work.

Votans, stay in the back.

Humans, on your knees,
behind the bar,

fingers interlaced
behind your head.

Move!

Faster!

We have an important
message for you all.

People of Defiance,

as you no doubt know
I am General Rahm Tak

of the Votanis Collective.

Sorry about the mess,

but I need Mayor Amanda
to understand that I am serious.

Do you understand
that I'm serious?

Can you see me?

Age of miracles, huh?

I have a proposition
for you, Amanda,

and I wish to make it
in front of witnesses.

The war is over.

The humans lost.

The Butcher of Yosemite lost.

My demands are simple,

drop the stasis nets, let me in.

In return,
I will allow the humans

safe passage to find a new home.

You're lying.

If I drop the nets and send
the humans through Bissel Pass,

you will pick them off
like a turkey shoot.

Oh, I would love nothing more

than to get all the pink-meats
into one spot, and...

But I won't.

Why not?

Because I'm a rational man.

A bloodless coup
protects the lives of my soldiers

and keeps you from setting
this town on fire to spite me.

You plan to live here?

It's the perfect home base

with the perfect
security measures.

After you've left I will turn
Defiance Valley into a training camp

where no one
will dare oppose me.

If the price of that
is setting some humans free,

then so be it.

Half of you will die in the Badlands
without me lifting a finger.

So, it's either that or

the humans die, one by one.

So what do you say?

It's the best deal
you're gonna get.

We will fight you
to the bitter end.

We may not win,

but we will make your victory
an unbelievably costly one.

I just hope you have the balls
to show up, so I can shoot them off.

Funny joke.

Shoot the hostages.

No!

Shoot him!

Nice shootin', Tex.

Kindzi?

Are you here?

We both know your father showed

poor judgment by strangling you.

That much is clear.

I'd love the opportunity to

ask him to apologize.

I'd like to apologize as well.

How did they get
through the stasis nets?

No idea.

But we have to be better.

Hey, Tex.

You're good in a fight.

Thanks.

Got a name?

Christopher Beckman.

Appreciate the assist.

Where you from?

I'm just heading south
looking for mercenary work.

I ran security
for an APS transport,

smuggling cargo
across the Shipton Desert.

That's a rough haul.

It's not for the faint of heart,
I can tell you that.

Look, I'm just gonna
come out and say this,

I know this isn't
your fight, but...

You don't have to convince me.

What happened here,
it was wrong.

These people deserve justice.

You can count me in.

Thank you.

Alak!

Get the militia together.

Get 'em gathered in Darby Square
in the next 20 minutes.

We're goin' huntin'.

Come on, kid.
Let's get movin'.

Yeah. Right. I'm sorry.

Show Beckman around.
Make sure he's geared up.

Hey, yeah. I'm Alak.

Beckman.

Have we met before?

Not that I
know of. But...

I guess us humans all look alike
to you, huh?

No, um, that's not what I meant.

Relax, kid.
I'm just having fun.

Oh.

Let's go meet this
militia of yours.

I heard.

What do you want to do?

I wanna fight.

I have to.

And what if you panic,
freeze up again?

I won't.

I should have killed Rahm
when I had a chance.

It would have
changed everything.

Look, about that...

I think I rode you pretty hard.

I never took into account
your feelings about New York.

And Tommy.

I guess what I'm trying to say is

that as a father
I've had better moments.

Did you actually just apologize?

Let's just put it down
to me getting soft in my old age.

Militia's assembling
in Darby Square.

Why don't you get your ass
down there and report.

And, kiddo.

You didn't give up.

I'm proud of you.

Citizens of Defiance,
as you've probably heard,

this morning our town was attacked
by V.C. terrorists.

Both gunmen were killed.

Tragically,
so were 10 innocent citizens.

People you may know. Friends,
parents, siblings, spouses.

We don't know
how the gunmen entered our town.

Let's go.

Or how many are
currently hiding among us.

At this moment, Lawkeeper Nolan
is organizing a manhunt

to identify and neutralize
the Votanis Collective infiltrators.

Citizens, guard...

We're not really open.

Sir.

I'm hungry.

The V.C. shot up the NeedWant.

Our way of life...

Pancakes, I think.

With fruit.

...is at risk of being destroyed.

As the Lawkeepers militia
is searching for these criminals,

I need the streets clear.

It'll be okay.

I am issuing a mandatory lockdown
for the entire town.

If you are home,
please stay there.

If you are out,

you need to get yourself to the
nearest building and stay indoors

until I announce that it's safe
to venture outside again.

This is for your own protection.

It will ensure that you are not hit
by friendly fire

and will aid our militia
in seizing our enemies.

No! No!

Shots came from that way.

You, with me. Let's go.

Came from Cotter Street.

You two, go.

Too stupid to live.

You lack honor.

Are you gonna kill us?

No.

But the stories.

Old stories.

You're safe now.

Thank you, Omec.

You saved my children.

You did that with your teeth?

I had no other weapon.

You did good here.

You could do more.

I told you already.

We need you.

This is not my fight.

Kindzi?

Enchanters.

This is our family.

I wanted you to see them.

Once we have re-powered our ship,
we will wake them up.

Do you wanna know
what will happen after that?

We will conquer the Earth
and enslave you all.

Do with you what we wish.

Feed upon your delicate flesh
in a glorious Dread Harvest.

Why are you
telling me all of this?

Now that you know our secrets,

my father
will be forced to kill you.

What did she see?

I showed her everything, father.

She knows our family
sleeps above.

She knows of our
plans for conquest.

Is it true?

If you free her...

...she will tell the town
what she knows.

I have lost one home planet,

and I will be thrice-damned
before I lose another!

If you let her live...

Is it true?

...she will ruin our plans.

For a time I intended
to take this planet

and claim it for our people.

And now?

I have seen many things
in Defiance and its people.

Things that I admire.

Our path has changed
to one of inclusion.

You betray our family.

She is dangerous.

Kindzi will never accept peace.

If you truly desire an accord
with the people of Earth,

she must be stopped.

Stopped how?

That is not for me to say.

But it does need to happen.

I am fond of you, Stahma.

But we are not a team.

You are not Omec.

Don't ever threaten my daughter.

I shame myself.

False Casti humility
does not suit you.

Nor does willful
ignorance suit you.

I think we should
both aim higher.

Tread lightly, little Castithan.

Tread lightly.

Did he say anything?

Anything that might help us
find their accomplices?

The Omec said that we would be
safe now. Is that true?

Of course it is.
You'll be just fine.

Found something.

It was in his coat.

What is it?

It's a map of the town.

They didn't come in
over the mountain.

They tunneled in.

All right, Alpha Team moves in

from the west,
hits that camp with M-19s,

and smokes Rahm's troops

south by southwest towards
the tree line and the snipers.

What have we got?

Me and Zero on the rest of Baker
along the tree line.

Stop, I've heard enough.

No.

No, I want this tunnel
sealed up from this side.

We'll hunt down
whoever's left in town,

and we'll live to
fight another day.

We're badly outnumbered.

This is our chance to
take the fight to him.

To take him by surprise.

Alak. What do you got?

It's two,
maybe three miles long.

It's all clear out here.

Nothing suspicious?
No booby traps?

I'm still in one piece.

All right, I want you to
lay up somewhere safe.

Keep your eyes open.
You spot any V.C.,

chirp me a warning.

And, Alak.

It took guts to volunteer.
Good job.

Thanks.

This is the closest thing
to a guarantee we're gonna get.

No, it's a huge risk.

So was crossing the Delaware,
but Washington was game.

All right. Do it.

Bring that son of a bitch down.

All right, Beckman, you're up front
with me and Irisa.

Zero and Dell, Barnes are next.

Then my three E.M.C. guys.

After that, we're gonna go
with squads one through four.

Amanda, you're gonna take
the remainder of the troops.

You're gonna surround the building.
Nobody gets in or out.

Anything suspicious at all...

Good luck.

Okay, everybody.
Bring it in.

No.

I don't want him in there.

- It's not your choice.
- You're staying with me.

I'm going.

Just be careful.

Always.

All right, everybody.
Come on in.

We get down there, stay alert.

Check your equipment.
Then check the equipment

of the trooper next to you.

We're gonna be moving in fours,

so we want clear lines of fire.

We're gonna move slowly,

we're gonna move by the numbers,
and safely.

And, remember,

I chose each and every one of you
for a reason.

Together, we're gonna
make Defiance proud.

All right, let's line 'em up.

Move out.

Sorry. Sorry.

This is all new to me.

Keep it down.

It's okay.

Everyone hold position
here until you get my signal.

You're with me.

Go.

What is it?

I heard something.

Stay here.

I'm gonna go
check in with Nolan.

Hold your position.

Do not come forward
under any circumstance.

All right, let's go.

Beckman, I told you to
hold position in the tunnel.

No.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

You stupid pink-skin.

Thank you for leading
your men to slaughter.

Your head will make
a wonderful trophy for Rahm.

I had no choice.

Attacking a Shanje Oathtaker...

...with my blade?

Are you mad?

He attacked me!

I begged to keep you
off the shaming rack.

I defended our honor!

You were prideful!

Honor does not require defense!

It cannot be won
in the eyes of men...

...only lost in the eyes of God.

Do you understand?

Datak!

No.

You only understand one thing.

You just gonna stand there?

Amanda was right.

If we had just blown our end of the
tunnel, they'd all still be alive.

You gambled.

If it had worked,
you'd be a hero.

Yeah, but it didn't,
so what does that make me?

They trusted me.
They followed me.

And now they're
dead because of me.

You didn't kill them.

Rahm Tak did.

You can carry that weight
on your shoulders,

but it doesn't make it right.

That's what you've been telling me
all along, right?

That's a nice try, kid.

You get yourself some rest.

Nolan, we've got trouble.

What is it?

Rahm Tak is setting up camp
right outside the stasis nets.

He's trying to squeeze us.

It's a blockade.

I've got an idea.

Speak.

If it works, it's a sure-fire way
to destroy Rahm and his army.

But there's a catch.

What?

It's a suicide mission.

Still listening.

A stasis net is comprised
of tenser particles.

When chained together,
they're stable

and can form
an impenetrable barrier.

If you use a device to re verse
the electromagnetic charge,

the tenser particles
unhook and explode.

Same principle
as using the net cutter.

Gold star for cowboy guy.

Rahm Tak has done
us an enormous favor

by setting up his camp
next to a gigantic bomb.

If we can contain and focus
the force of the explosion,

say, using a localized
singularity field, then...

We can blow him to hell?

And you get a sticker that says,
"Teacher's pet."

See me after class.

I can throw together
a targeting device.

It's small,
so I can surgically implant it

into the volunteer's forearm.

Into my forearm.

It's non-metallic, and it will
be invisible to the scanners.

So you'll talk your way

into Rahm Tak's camp
and when you're dead center,

I'll blow the nets remotely.

Bye-bye, Rahm Tak.
Bye-bye, army.

And bye-bye, Nolan.

Unacceptable.

It's necessary.

No. I'm not letting you
throw your life away.

If this plan fails,

I need you alive to
decide whatever Plan B is.

There is no Plan B!

There's always a Plan B.

You know,
put the gizmo in my arm.

No!

That's the most ridiculous idea.

You can use it to bring
humans and Votans together.

No. We're not doing it.

I'm not arguing about this.

You should be resting.

Rahm Tak knows we're desperate.

He's expecting a trick.

The minute he sees
either of you coming,

he'll have a sniper pick you off
from half a mile away.

And, who do you think
can get close enough?

Only one person I know of.

Father! I won passage
on an ark.

I won passage on an ark.

Playing cards.

I wish you safe journeys.

I won two seats.

You're coming with me!

No, no.

I must stay to tend the scrolls.

Why?

Our world is ending.

I won't leave without you.

You must.

Take this blade to the new world,
beloved son.

Carry my name with honor...

...and pass it on to your own child.

Promise me.

I promise.

Remember, Datak:
Pride, greed, ambition.

These are vanities of the flesh.

Only honor endures.
And when honor dies...

...the spirit dies with it.

Make me proud.

Drink.

How nice to see you.

Rahm Tak has stripped
you of everything.

Alak and your grandson
have to bear the burden

of the Tarr family name
for the rest of their lives.

Why are you here?

I'm offering you
a chance at redemption.

And Stahma?

She's still missing.

But if she turns up alive,

I will pardon her crimes,
as I will pardon yours.

Posthumously.

Ah.

There's the catch.

Rahm Tak's men

shot Alak.

We almost lost him.

I'm giving you
a chance to kill Rahm Tak.

A chance to save Defiance,

a chance to save your son
and your grandson.

Will you help us?

I could not be prouder of you.

I hope I can live up
to your example.

I've seen all I need to.

Let's go.

He's through.

Re-engage the nets.

Someone's heading this way.

Shoot 'em in the head.

I think it's Datak Tarr.

What?

No.

Should we take him out?

Uh-uh.

He's got me curious.

Well, they didn't shoot him.

He's clean.

Welcome home, lover boy.

I think he's in,
but I can't be sure.

Blow the nets.

Blowing the nets.

Tensor particles will hit critical
mass in four minutes and counting.

You're looking a little working
class these days, aren't you?

The shaming rack
is a great equalizer.

What diluted form
of the shaming ceremony

are they practicing in Defiance?

Your arms and legs
seem curiously attached.

They cut me down
and sent me here

with the Mayor's surrender terms.

Why you?

They assumed you'd shoot
whomever came out.

Honestly,
I'm surprised you didn't.

Call me a sentimental old fart.

These surrender terms are garbage.

I'm not gonna drop back.

I'm not going to provide a hostage.

And I'm not going to negotiate.

You go back, and you tell Amanda

her only option is to drop the nets.

What are you still
doing here? Go!

I'd like to stay.

I kidnapped your son.

I beat you senseless. I got you
put on a shaming rack.

If I let you stay,

you will try to kill me
the first time I turn my back.

Your reputation for shrewdness
is clearly well deserved.

But I promise you, General,

I am a broken man

coming to you in my hour of need.

Granted, I like the humility.

Pleases me.

But I am not in a position

to take any chances
with victory so close at hand.

May I prove my loyalty?

I will require my charge blade.

You want me to arm you?

I don't quite see the joke.

I'm fighting for my life, General.

There is no joke.

You...

You push my buttons.

You know that?

Watch him.

The shaming rack would have ripped
my four limbs from my body.

You have rescued me
from this fate.

Therefore, my body is yours.

Including my good left arm.

Holy Crap!

That's some gangster-ass shit.

I am impressed!

I think he's in, right?

I mean, on a probationary basis.

Thank you, Favi Tak.

May I take a moment alone?

The pain is tremendous.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't go too far.

Oh, my God! Crazy-ass haint.

This is definitely going
in the collection, right?

Wait. Wait a minute.

There's something in here.

Oh, shit!
