When the Castithan drops a locket that explodes injuring several people, Nolan knocks him down and arrests him. The bounty hunter turns out to be a friend of Nolan's and former comrade in arms, named Eddie (Rob Stewart). Eddie tries to convince Nolan to give him the outlaw but Nolan takes him under custody instead. Tommy (Dewshane Williams) identifies the Castithan as Pol Madis (Daniel Kash), the person who designs many weapons for wars. Eddie tells Nolan that Earth Republic wants Madis to try him for war crimes. While Yewll (Trenna Keating) examines Madis, he asks her if people of Defiance know about her involvement in the Pale Wars. He threatens her that if she does not help him escape, then he will tell everyone. Yewll denies any accusations and says that he is confusing her with someone else. Later, a bag of powder is dropped through the cell window that Madis can use to escape but it is unknown who dropped the bag. Nolan suspects that the person who dropped the bag was Eddie, but Eddie convinces him that he was not involved and they start searching for Madis together.
