Justice is about what's right.

But the world's not.

Mm. I wish I'd seen it.

Nolan and Rafe race against the clock to rescue Amanda and Pottinger trapped in a deadly mine collapse.

My point is not only can I not trust you

He says his father confessed to blowing up the mines.

She and Pottinger are fine.

I was smart. I set him up.

He did what was necessary.

Kenya’s earth-shattering return continues sending shock waves through Defiance as Stahma tries to reconcile Kenya’s reappearance, while Doc Yewll works to keep her own dark secret hidden.

Hi.

But what I do know is that you kept this place going.

Oh, she was so mad.

No.

Now, you punch me a second time,

I have visions. That's what brought me here.

My mom was one.

She doesn't deserve this.

I'm a direct man.

Going out of range. Walking up Carter Street.

I really have.

I didn't say that.
