DATAK: Previously onDefiance...
Come here.
The poison was on the flask.
When Kenya comes back, she might need to find herself another job.
You need to prepare yourself for the fact... She's coming back.
She is coming back. I know her.
Hello? I'm the man holding a gun to your little sister's head.
Someone's trying to extort Amanda.
Claims to be holding Kenya prisoner.
And you believe that?
Amanda?
Kenya?
KENYA: The first thing that I remember is the darkness.
And then there was a motor hum.
And I could hear these whispers.
[SNIFFLING]
Can you speak?
I'm thirsty.
Here's some water.
[GASPS]
[CHOKING]
[COUGHS]
♪ I got six, seven, eight ♪
NOLAN: Did you see anyone else? KENYA: No.
I just saw the man with the goggles.
NOLAN: Did he talk at all about the plot against New York?
KENYA: He talked about it in bits and pieces.
He asked me a lot of questions.
Do you remember your sister?
Of course I remember my sister.
What's your sister's name?
Her name is...
[GRUNTS] Her name is "Go chup yourself."
This went on for a long time.
He wanted to know about my life in Defiance.
Where did you come from? I don't know.
How old are you? I don't know!
What's your mother's name? I don't know!
And then one day, he surprises me.
[GRUNTS]Amanda Rosewater?
Free Mahsuvus Gorath from Earth Republic custody or your sister dies.
Disobey us and she dies.
I'm the man holding a gun to your little sister's head.
Amanda? Don't do anything this son of a bitch says!
Okay. So the rest, you pretty much know.
He used me to blackmail Amanda.
I... I tried to escape.
And then...
And here I am.
I'm home.
How long would you say that our friend with the goggles
kept you prisoner?
Two or three weeks, at the most.
[GROANS]What?
Well, you disappeared a year ago.
So, what happened to all the rest of the time you were missing?
What's your last memory in Defiance?
The night Amanda lost the election.
I hugged you to say goodbye.
And then we said...
And then? And then? Goodbye and then...
And... And then? I don't know.
She's suffered damage to the medial temporal lobe.
Well, she's gonna have to try harder.
Stop pushing her. The missing memories could come flooding back
or they could slip away further.
Can we stop for tonight? I'm just so tired.
I have more questions for her.
We'll finish in the morning.
I'll need to see her again tomorrow.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
You waiting for a lollipop?
You got a habit of playing fast and loose with the truth.
I haven't forgotten that. Meaning?
No games. No jokes.
I'll look after her.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
A drink, Favi Tarr?
No, thank you. I'm here for my envelope.
I gave it to Alak at work this morning.
You work for Alak?
He hired me at Raider Radio.
You might recognize my voice.
"Hello, Defiance, this is Treasure Doll
"playing the records your mother warned you about."
Hmm.
Hiring a prostitute to talk on the radio
is very imaginative.[DOOR OPENING]
I must compliment Alak when I see him.
That's Kenya.
Excuse me?
Coming in the door with Amanda. That's Kenya Rosewater.
Kenya Rosewater is...

I'm so glad you're home.
I'm so glad to be back.
I thought I drove you away.
Yeah?
Did I?
Drove me away?
I mean, was I too controlling?
Too suffocating? Too...
You're always too controlling.
[SIGHS]
But that's not why I left.
I don't know why I left.
But what I do know is that you kept this place going.
[CHUCKLES]
You kept my digbaa tree alive.
[LAUGHS]
You kept me alive.
Thank you.
[SIGHS] Hmm.
I'm gonna go downstairs and close up.
Amanda?
Can you sleep next to me?
Okay.
It'll be like when we built
forts out of oil drums.Oh.
[LAUGHS]
And we fell asleep, listening to the gunfire.
All night long.
Do you remember? Mom was so mad.
Oh. She was so mad.
But we had each other.
Didn't we?
We still do.
[SIGHS]
You're where?
Helping Sukar.
He okay?
He's sick.
Right now, we ought to be
a little more worried about you.
It's Sukar, Nolan. He needs my help.
All right. All right. Okay, kiddo.
I'm okay. I promise.
Be careful.
I will.
[PHONE BEEPS]
He will not come?
No.
The pilgrimage can't be interrupted.
It's Irzu's will.
Find anything else interesting while I was gone?
I'm only here because my CO
ordered me to help you.
I'm not interested in conversation.
Aw, gee, Tommy, you got something on your mind.
Why don't you spit it out?
No.Come on.
I'm not taking the bait.
Sure you will, sooner or later. It's inevitable.
I'm not playing.
Understood.
[SNIFFS]
You know, Tommy, Berlin's a big girl.
She has a right to choose who she sleeps with.
You actually have no shame.
No. And in this case, she chose me.
Now, I know that's not what you want to hear, Tommy.
But I thought I'd give you a fair warning. I like you.
You're a good...
[GRUNTS]
I am not a kid!
[GROANING]
Sure punch like one.
Would you like another? No. [LAUGHS] Thank you.
That one there, I had coming.
You punch me a second time, I'm gonna have to hit you back,
and neither of us wants that, do we?
And you wonder why Irisa is avoiding you.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Kenya.
What a lovely surprise.
[SIGHS]
It's so good to see you.
[INHALING]
Oh, even your Casti perfume still smells good.
That's something I do remember.
Something wrong with your memory?
There is. But when I saw you last night at the NeedWant and you were staring at me,
I just had this sense of deja vu.
Was there something between us?
You could say that, yes.
Well, I'm sure it'll all come back to me soon.
Oh, I certainly hope so.
And when it does, we're gonna have a proper reunion.
[SIGHS]
We found this stuff in the car.
Anything there ring a bell?
Can I touch it?
Of course. Go feel it.
It's really good to have you back around here.
Is it good for you?
So, I'm guessing you remember we dated?
Yeah. I do.
And maybe also remember we broke up?
Not specifically.
[SIGHS]
But wait, I remember talking to Amanda about it afterwards.
[SIGHS] Yeah. So,
your sister and I started seeing each other...
[GASPS]...while you were missing.
It wasn't anything too serious.
It's sort of over for now,
but I thought you should know.
Thank you.
[INHALES]
Okay.
Yeah, I remember this hammer.
[TAPPING]
I can see some man from the Votanis Collective.
And he used this hammer
to free me from...
Free you from where?
I'm floating in water.

There were other people there.

Humans.
No!
V.C. soldiers killed them.
And then the man with the goggles said, "Stop. Don't shoot her.
[SOLDIER SPEAKING CASTITHAN]
Why not? This is Amanda Rosewater's sister.
We can use her.
Find me a sedative.
No! No, don't do that. No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey!
No, no, I can't. I can't. I can't. They're all coming back.
It's so horrible. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's all coming back. It's okay. I just want you to think.
If you can remember anything,
any small detail about anyone.
KENYA: One of the dead humans had a tattoo. It was a bird.
It was an eagle. It was a screaming eagle.
Good.
Good. Come on.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
[DOOR OPENING]
Need you to take off your shirt. It's important.
Well, if we're gonna have a three-way.
I'm Berlin. I'm Kenya.
Like the country?
I was born the day the Votans blew it up,
so I guess it's some kind of a tribute.
What? Berlin, like the city?
Yes.
Actually, I make films that some people like to call propaganda. So, uh,
one day somebody thought it would be funny to...
I get it. Like Leni Riefenstahl.
Right.
NOLAN: Does that look familiar?
Yeah. Except the eagle had three heads.
Three heads. That's the J Division crest.
Meaning? Meaning that the men who took you prisoner
in that laboratory were Earth Republic Special Forces.
How did I end up there?
First, we have to figure out what happened the night you disappeared.
Did you leave of your own free will?
Were you taken?
How long can a human being survive underground without air?
Do I look like a biologist?
You look like a pauper, but that's incidental.
It's possible she wasn't completely dead.
Perhaps she clawed free of the grave after I left.
If that's true, and her memory returns,
I'll be arrested for poisoning...[SPEAKING CASTITHAN]
Shut your lying mouth!
[IN ENGLISH] Stop insulting me.
I knew that you weren't gonna kill her.
I knew that you were weak,
that you fancied yourself in love.
I didn't need her dead.
I needed her under control.
No.So spare me this ridiculous nature hike.
I know that you lied about killing Kenya Rosewater.
I know that you knocked her out and sent her off
to live in some obscure retreat, never expecting to see her again.
I know this... This grave that you keep talking about is a fiction.
And I don't care.
Don't do this to me.
If you ever loved me.
Please. Don't do what?
Don't tell me I killed Kenya for nothing.
She's not dead!
Very well.
If you're right, we'll find an empty grave.
I buried her body just over this next rise,
marked her grave,
planted a small patch of flowers.
These flowers of yours, they weren't lavender by any chance, were they?
POTTINGER: How can Kenya Rosewater possibly be alive?
You assured me she'd been killed when the Votanis Collective
raided my facility and burned it to the ground.
I was told there were no survivors.
Obviously, someone recognized her value as a hostage.
I couldn't have predicted this.
All I'm saying, you better fix it.
There's nothing to fix.
Right now, we need to focus on not getting caught.
I refuse to accept that.
You need to stop thinking like a human and accept what is real.
If Joshua Nolan figures out what you did to Amanda,
he will take his great big gun
and stuff it in your mouth and pull the trigger,
evacuating the contents of your sick little head.
He will do so without mercy or hesitation.
And then it will be my turn.
That, Mr. Mayor, is where we're at.
Then, what do you propose?
I never got a chance to lock and fine-tune.
Forgotten memories could return, new ones could surface.
The only safe option is to wipe it all.
And you can do that?
Chemical lobotomy. Painful, but effective.
Doesn't that bother you?
I've done worse.
[BUS ENGINE RUNNING]
I knew Defiance was a frontier town,
but I thought they'd at least have sidewalks.
Okay, it's no Manhattan.
But it's the Badlands and away from Connor Lang,
which is a very good thing.
Kenya... What? The guy is such a dickhole
and you were the best thing that ever...
Kenya, he thought the baby was his. I let him think that. He had no idea.
Okay. Okay. It doesn't matter.
'Cause guess what? In this town,
we're gonna find our new husbands.
Who says I'm looking for a husband?
Are you looking for a wife?[LAUGHS]
No wife. No wife.
Women talk too much. Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Hey, here's what I think.
This town might not have sidewalks,
but I bet it has a bar.
Hmm. Hmm! And I think we should get a drink.
I agree. Do you agree?
Let's go.
Hey, look. What?
It's your new husband. You!
AMANDA: So, Nolan talked to the Mayor
and they're gonna put together a list and...
Are you even listening?
Yeah. I'm starting to remember things.
So, you said that Nolan spoke to the Mayor?
Yes. They're gonna compile a list of all the men in J Division.
They're gonna run some photos past you.
Okay.
Are you sure you wanna go through with this?
Yeah.
I want to know why I disappeared.
Don't you want things just to go back to normal?
What's normal?
You running the NeedWant. The NeedWant's doing fine without me.
The NeedWant's yours.
Okay. I have an idea.
What if we were to run
the NeedWant together?
[LAUGHS] Oh, God! No.Yeah.
That would be the biggest disaster since Arkfall.
You think? I know.
We're not built to be partners.
We're too stubborn.
So, what would you do?[SIGHS]
I mean, if I were to run the NeedWant, what would you do?
I'm not sure.
You want to be mayor again.
I'm helping.
Whispering in his ear. Steering him.
It's enough.
Nothing is ever enough for Amanda Rosewater. Oh! No.
Come on. That's not true. You love being the boss.
I don't love being the boss. Yes, you do. You totally do.
Yes.No. I just happen to be extremely good at it.
Do you know how much I have missed you?
I missed you so much. Hello, ladies.
I spoke to a colleague of mine, a neurologist in Cedars.
He laid out a way to refresh neurosynaptic pathways.
Meaning what?
We can bring back your memories. All of them.
When?
Now.
Thanks.
Thought you quit those a long time ago.
Quentin.
Hey, Dad.
Did you get to Mendocino,
find your mother?
Well, how is she?
Not like I remember.
Those Votan monks, they hate humans.
They treated her like an animal.
They broke her. She was already broke.
She tried to kill herself along with you and Luke and Christie.
Yeah, you threw her away.
I don't understand. How can you just do that? I made a choice.
Protect Pilar, the woman I love, or protect her children.
I chose you. I chose you kids.
It wasn't an easy choice.
Yeah. You should have just shot her.
I didn't have the guts.
Anyway,
welcome home.
You may experience some discomfort.
You okay? Yeah.
I'm ready.
[WHIRRING]
Oh, it's...
It's beautiful.
[GROANING]
Wait.
I see something.
Um...
[GROANING]
There's someone in the water with me.
I... I can... [COUGHS]
Uh...
Someone in a bio-suit.
AMANDA: Can you see who it is?
KENYA: Um...
The hood's coming off.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[WHIRRING]
[GROANS] I can see a face.
[EXCLAIMING IN PAIN]
Take it off!
[GRUNTING]
[YELPS]Breathe!
[COUGHING]
I have water in my lung.
No. You're here in the room with me.
You need to let me continue this procedure.
She's had enough.
We haven't even started! No, she's done!
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Welcome back. I hear you're a bit of a hero.
Saved New York.
[CHUCKLES] Well, that's what they say.
I was hoping to meet your sister.
Kenya's resting.
And I heard the session with Doc Yewll didn't go too well.
That's putting it mildly.
Well, I can't say I'm surprised.
Dr. Yewll was trained to torture humans.
Healing them must be something of a second career.
Good point.
You know, there's a clinic in New York.
We could have her transported there under armed guard, of course,
get her all the treatment she needs. Forget it.
I just got Kenya back. She's not leaving Defiance.
But if you want to help, figure out who in your organization
has been conducting secret experiments.
Why would I wanna do that?
Earth Republic Special Ops were using my sister as a lab rat.
I'm gonna find whoever issued those orders.
When you do, I'll deliver the killing blow myself.
[GRUNTING]
[CURSING IN CASTITHAN]
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
I found her.
What?
I found her.
You found her.
[SPEAKING CASTITHAN]
Praise to Rayetso!
[IN ENGLISH] I'm sorry I doubted you.
May I?
[SNIFFS]
Such a tiny human head.
Yes, it's darling. Now let's bury it and go.
If this is Kenya, who is with Amanda back in Defiance?
Don't know. Don't care.
Well, this news will be devastating.
I'm standing here, caked with mud, up to my ass in death stink
and you're concerned about Amanda Rosewater's hurt feelings?
Oh!
Let the dead stay buried.No.
Stocking up, I see.
I'm making Kenya breakfast.
Sugar bread French toast is her favorite. Thank you.
I remember.
I don't suppose it surprises you to hear
that my husband and I have
business contacts from here to Marin.
[CHUCKLES] No.
Many of whom operate in rather unsavory circles.
Well, that's not much of a secret.
I suppose not.
I do hear things.
You know I loved Kenya.
And since her disappearance, I have come to think of you,
her sister, as a friend.
Is there a point to this? I need to get back to Kenya.
Your sister is dead.
The woman in your room is an imposter.
I know this is difficult to hear,
but I have received this information
from multiple sources.
And I thought you should know.
I feel uncomfortable.
It would help if you spoke.
If you repeat this lie anywhere,
to anyone,
I will hurt you.
It will be painful
and it will be permanent.
Congratulations
on a long overdue homecoming.
I am so happy for you both.
Nope.
No.
No. None of these soldiers look familiar. Sorry.
[SIGHS]
Look at this room.
It's so different.
Well, do you remember the first time Amanda caught us in here?
The duct tape.Yes. Yes, you remember that.
What was I thinking?
I almost ripped my nipple off when I was trying to take it off.
Yeah. You were sticky for hours.
She was so mad when we got together.
You remember the first time? I brought you the flower?
No, I don't, actually.
The first night I got into town. I'd won some scrip at the fight tent?
A lot's missing, Nolan.
What about the time with the handcuffs?
You surprised me in the holding cell. That was a pretty crazy night.
No?
Fighting the Volge? Amanda getting shot? Yes.
Yes, I do remember that.
Okay.
Now you're gonna forget about the past.
Now, you're gonna make new memories.
You're gonna make love to me.
Kenya, listen.
Your scars. What?
From your ex-husband. They're gone.
Stay here. I'll be right back.
[DOOR CLICKS]
POTTINGER: Is she trying to touch us?
DOC: She sees her own reflection. It's a good sign.
The resemblance is incredible.
Can it think?
The host is Indogene.
She thinks a hell of a lot more efficiently than you, monkey boy.
Can she understand what we're saying?
Doesn't matter. I'll wipe this time period clean after I graft
Amanda's memories onto the brain map.
What's her life span?
It's new technology.
I did my best, but...
True beauty dies fast.
No!
[GLASS BREAKS]
Amanda. I need to talk to you.
Have you noticed anything strange about Kenya's memories?
Uh, the older ones, from before the disappearance?
Look, there are gaps, but she's adjusting.
Okay. I've... I've noticed a pattern.
Now, she only knows about memories that you were present for
or you knew about.
Anything you weren't aware of, it's a hole.
I need to talk to Kenya.
Kenya?
Kenya.
I don't understand.
Sit.
No, I don't wanna sit.Sit.
No!
I know my sister! It's her.
I wish it were.
She's not... She's an Indogene.
She's not! Amanda!
Whoever implanted you with that EGO device a few weeks ago,
they stole your memories.
No! You don't know that. They put them
into a perfect copy of your sister. That's just a theory.
You don't know! Amanda,
her scars are gone.
[SOBS]
I'm so sorry.
Oh, God.
My gun's missing.
I have to warn you, there's no happy ending to this story.
Are you certain that you want to hear this?
I'm an Indogene? Deep down you are.
In the Pale Wars, we grafted human memories and DNA onto Indogene volunteers
to create spies that looked and acted human.
[GRUNTS]
Are you telling me that I volunteered for this?
Not exactly. You were a captured V.C. spy.
Pottinger plucked you from Camp Reverie
in the dead of night and brought you to me.
I'm sorry. You deserved better than this.
I am not interested in your sympathy.
Keep talking.
I had your Indogene body as my canvas.
And there was no shortage of Kenya Rosewater DNA
scattered around the NeedWant.
What I didn't have were Kenya's memories,
so I stole them from her sister.
What went wrong?
A Votanis soldier interrupted the procedure.
That's why your memories are still jumbled.
How long do I have to live?
Couple of months. No more than three.No.
You are gonna fix me.
And you are gonna give me a normal life span.
As an Indogene? I can't.
As Kenya Rosewater, I don't know, maybe.
I have a colleague in the Bay Area. Eren Niden.
Maybe... "Maybe" is not good enough.
If you're gonna kill someone, kill the Mayor.
Pottinger wants you dead.
You really are a craven little thing, aren't you?
You're a monster.
Actually you're the monster. I'm Dr. Frankenstein
and our bald friend here is Igor.
His plan was to fake a dramatic rescue and reunite two sisters.
Amanda would be so grateful
that her panties would just melt away at your tender touch.
You're not funny. And what was Amanda supposed to do
when she found out... Mourn you and move on.
Move on to you.
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
[GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOT]
[EXHALES]
I knew you'd run for the safe.
Yeah?
Yeah. It's what I would do.
I'm not Kenya. You might not have been born that way,
but you are now. No! Who I am
is a collection of leftover memories.
I am an echo.
You are my sister. Your sister is dead. Look!
No.
No, you belong with me.
Look, I'll get you the help you need. I promise.
[EXCLAIMS]
I am not playing house with a human.
[GROANING]
Next time
I'm gonna snap your neck.
[WINCES AND GRUNTS]
[SOBBING]
[NOLAN SIGHS]
This is all my fault.
I should never have released Dr. Yewll from Camp Reverie.
I knew she had a checkered past, but this was beyond the pale.
As it turned out, she built that thing to exploit your access
to high-level Earth Republic officers.
I'm sorry.
I need your help.
Really?
There was a time when I needed you rather desperately
to help me dispose of Jalina's eyeless corpse.
You refused me.
You're my only friend.
Please.
My sister loved to travel.
She used to say that in order to appreciate the places you're going,
you have to
leave behind the places you've been.
Welcome to your new home.
AMANDA: My sister loved going out into the world.
Seeing new things,
having new experiences.
She never looked back.
She never dwelled on the past.
She called it "being morbid."
She believed
that all good things ended sooner than you'd like them to.
A favorite song,
a good book,
even your own life.
[SINGING SOFTLY]
The brevity is what makes it so special.
Precious.
My sister believed
that before you could allow something
or someone new into your heart,
that you first need to make room.
And that means learning to let go.
[SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
I love you, baby sister.
[SNIFFLES]
To Kenya.
ALL: To Kenya.
