00:03Previously on Motherland. Welcome to Fort Salem. I am General Sarah Alder. All of you have answered the call. Just
00:11like your mothers and their mothers before them. We live in a time of ancient hatred and emerging threats. The
00:17spree are ruthless and savage. We will need all of you to meet what's coming.
00:24I am Drill Sergeant Anacostia, quarter maid. My job is to keep you alive through basics. Starting this year, you
00:29will rise or fall as units. How anyone in your unit performs is how everyone in your unit performs. I
00:35know this is a lot for you, but it is just the beginning. Guys, let's all take a breath. You
00:40look troubled, child. I want to be reassigned. I heard your request was denied. I'm the one who should walk.
00:46The spree has no great leader. They will appear normal in every way and maybe even are. I'm still up.
00:51Can we fight them?
00:53We can't even tell who's one of them.
01:23I have to go back to Circe. I have an inspection. This is an inspection. Stop, Sarah. I know this
01:33is important. I need to secure this area. Okay, I gotta go.
01:46How's high and mighty?
01:47What, Abigail? Same.
01:51A lot less mighty than she thinks she is. Yeah, well, that's just the world she comes from. It's her
01:55family.
01:57Where do you come from? Since we're on the subject.
02:00All over.
02:03Could you be more vague?
02:05We moved around constantly.
02:08You're a base brat?
02:10My parents didn't serve.
02:13How'd the work go for them?
02:16It's complicated.
02:17I do complicated.
02:22Bells are ringing. Don't you have to go?
02:30I'll see you tonight.
02:31Um, I'll try. I'm not sure when we're done, so...
03:04Henbane.
03:07Aconite. Yarrow.
03:08So you're saying if I chew on those at midnight on a full moon that I'll start floating around the
03:14sky like one of you?
03:17Not exactly, Madam President.
03:20Kelly.
03:25Not exactly, Kelly.
03:28This is what we make our selva out of.
03:31We use it in combat, as you may recall.
03:34The recipe is quite ancient.
03:37If we could all float away from the spree.
03:41General Alder, I'm speaking here as a friend.
03:45You need to give me something on those butchers.
03:48Because sooner than later, it'll be no place safe to be a person in America.
03:52Much less the world, for that matter.
03:54We work ceaselessly to deliver this spree to justice.
03:57But what are we doing in a concrete way?
03:59To find these people? To stop these people?
04:02We've developed a way to track this spree's use of forbidden workings.
04:07How?
04:08This kind of work leaves a signature.
04:10One that we now recognize.
04:12Just an hour ago, one of their bombs went off on a bus in Kyiv.
04:16They're branching away from balloons.
04:18They used a bottle this time.
04:20A plastic bottle?
04:21Anything that holds a volume of air.
04:23The sound they trap inside needs it.
04:26Small as a pill bottle.
04:27I need to know about these things.
04:29There's a lot you don't know.
04:31Is that so?
04:35Attacks like this are military matters.
04:38By rule of law.
04:40And you too are bound by rule of law to the will of the American people,
04:44who have elected me to represent their interests and protect them.
04:49Don't you forget it.
04:51Or you may find yourself reminded.
04:54I'm fiancé.
04:54I'm fascinated.
04:59I am fascinated.
05:13ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:55ORCHESTRA PLAYS
06:21ORCHESTRA PLAYS
06:23Should've thought about that before you were late for third bell.
06:29That kind of nonsense is not how we're gonna get ahead!
06:43What are you doing here? You weren't supposed to...
06:47You did not tell me you did not come when you didn't have to.
06:51Why would you subject yourself to this willingly?
06:54Having a bad time?
06:57I miss home. You hated it there.
07:00You told me every day.
07:01I know, but I was foolish then. It was so peaceful and relaxed.
07:05And I had prides.
07:06Boy, may I remind you? The world really needs us right now.
07:10It's becoming a scary place and maybe we can make it a little less scary.
07:13My seed sounds are a mess. They'll get better.
07:15I don't wanna die a terrible death.
07:18I know.
07:20There's no going back.
07:21We're here.
07:24We ran out, so we're raiding your mess.
07:27Ran out of...
07:28Coffee.
07:29Oh, sorry.
07:31Nothing to be sorry about. You remind me of my daughter.
07:36Ladies, top five highest ranking units will attend the pageants in Salem town.
07:42After which, they will enjoy a few hours of unsupervised time off base.
07:52Best of luck, ladies.
08:21Let's walk.
08:25How did it go with Wade?
08:27Same.
08:29Threats wrapped in condescension.
08:31If I don't deliver a victory in the Ukraine, she intends to bring out conventional forces to fight the spree.
08:37She said that.
08:38In as many words.
08:40She wants to be re-elected. That's her real drive.
08:43Eliminating the spree is incidental.
08:46How are things in Kiev?
08:48We're waiting for the strike team to land.
08:52Well, hello there.
08:56Hi.
08:57Don't you all look happy and healthy?
09:01A blessing on you, children.
09:03So you can stay safe and strong.
09:08My word is done.
09:10As a rising moon and setting sun.
09:16Go play.
09:26It does me good to see the fosterlings.
09:30I remember when you were one of them.
09:33How's your bellwether unit?
09:36Better.
09:38You should have seen Petra's daughter, Winnie Ann, pout when I kicked her out of my office.
09:44She got the message.
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:47Keep me posted on them.
09:49Everyone's still talking about what they did in vocal.
09:52I've officially taken an interest.
09:55Understood.
10:22Glibba Swythe.
10:25Daughter of Miss Fortune.
10:27I thought I smelled sulfur in defeat.
10:34Abigail Bedwetter.
10:36I mean, what happened to her?
10:38All that careful breeding and a face like a spider abortion.
10:42You're a contagion, Glibba.
10:43You're a dumb-noodling nay-nay horse from a dumb-noodling nobody family.
10:49You're the kind of stupid that spreads.
10:51You are malice, Abigail.
10:55Heard about your little meeting with Alder.
10:59Maggots will reject your fetid corpse.
11:01Don't let her take your joy.
11:03That's what she eats.
11:06Gather!
11:22Pick it up.
11:26Run at me and stab me in the eye.
11:29What?
11:30Now!
11:41Again.
11:53Is anyone up for this?
12:20Windshire ladies.
12:23The first official piece of military cannon you get in basic training.
12:35Windshire is a site-specific rapid conjuration impact-absorbing shield created by layering two complicated seed sounds sub-vocally.
12:43No big deal, right?
12:45We will begin with Seed 41, the seed of haste and accumulation.
12:49Upper register just north of audible range.
12:57eseed 48,000-UMBASS
13:09So, Glibba.
13:12You guys seem tight.
13:14It's a family thing.
13:15Our mothers hated each other in war college.
13:19Glibba did add to it, though.
13:20What did she do?
13:23It was my debut.
13:26Unarguably the most important day of my life before getting caught.
13:30She danced with my cavalier before I got a chance to.
13:34What language are you speaking?
13:35What's a cavalier?
13:37Kind of like your date for the night, but way more astrological and foretold.
13:41Anyway, she danced with him in front of me.
13:43In front of the very best of Annapolis witchery.
13:46It's the declaration of war.
13:47War, though, isn't that a little disproportionate?
13:49You don't get it.
13:52It wasn't about the guy.
13:55That was my night.
13:58She took it from me.
14:19Hey.
14:22Lieutenant Helen Graves.
14:26Sorry to scare you.
14:28You must be a private caller.
14:30Hi.
14:31I brought coffee.
14:33No, thanks.
14:35Suit yourself.
14:41It's not my fault you're here.
14:43Never said it was.
14:46This is going to be fun.
14:49What year are you?
14:51Sophomore.
14:52War college.
14:56What's specialization?
14:57What's specialization?
14:58Necro.
15:00What's that like?
15:01Necro's like any other.
15:03Blasters blast, they clear ground with dangerous weather.
15:06Fixers fix people, keep them alive.
15:08Nowhere to see around corners, they know what to do, when to do it.
15:13Necro's, well, we just happen to channel the power of death itself.
15:17Well, what does that mean?
15:21Death has its own magnetism and resonance, highly directable in combat situations, great for gathering intel.
15:30Well, the dead make excellent eyes and ears.
15:35Why are you so curious about necros?
15:37No reason.
15:40Yeah, two can play at that game, tight lips.
15:46All right, so maybe I have a special necro in my life.
15:51This evening just got interesting.
15:54Who is she?
15:56She's a second year.
15:57Still around.
15:59Bright girl.
16:01Best in her year.
16:03Yeah, that cage, you know.
16:06The thing you've got to understand is that necros are a weird lot on the best day.
16:13And why is that?
16:15Because of what we can do.
16:16Because we're the Army's bastard stepdaughters, because we're so damn spooky.
16:23On top of that, Scylla's got her own stuff.
16:26Mind you, this is just gossip, but I heard the Army killed her folks.
16:32Why?
16:34Draft dodgers?
16:36Again, don't quote me, but I don't mess you up.
16:41You look pretty wiped.
16:44Yeah, I barely slept last night either.
16:47I wonder what you were up to.
16:50Tell you what, who's your jail sergeant?
16:53Quarter main, right?
16:55Oh, not only.
16:57Go sleep.
16:58I'll tell Anna Costia you were the picture of military virtue.
17:07You know what?
17:08I'm good.
17:09My orders were to walk the perimeter until dawn.
17:11That's what I'm gonna do.
17:14Save that fight for the spree, private.
17:21Give her special necro a minute to open up.
17:23Bet she's worth it.
17:26Oh well.
17:27Thanks.
17:28Yes.
17:39Yes.
17:42Yes.
17:45Yes.
17:49Yes.
17:50Yes.
17:56It's there.
18:25Weakness and fatigue
18:27Have no place in a witch's army
18:29I was out kind of late
18:31Not sure if you remember anything
18:33Irrelevant
18:35Bellwether
18:36Show private caller what endurance looks like
18:39A-tonals
18:40C-26 please, the seat of discord
18:43I'll tell you when to stop
19:24I'll tell you when to stop
19:31Fuel your bodies, ladies
19:34Training resumes in two hours
19:35You're okay
19:38We're moving on to wind strike
19:44Do you think Ana Clasio
19:45Will let us do any kind of extra things?
19:48What extra things?
19:49I just mean like extra extra things
19:51To bump up our ranks to go to Salem
19:53Like clean latrines
19:56Enjoy that
19:57Why do you want to go so bad?
19:59I don't want to go to the pageant
20:01I don't want to be your face
20:02All we do is train and sleep
20:11This should be your blood
20:20Let me fix it
20:22Don't want your country shit on me
20:25All good, just trying to help
20:26Let her help
20:27We're a unit
20:28Shut up, Tali
20:35Okay
20:46I'm just gonna
20:59To wear that melket
21:01It shall be open
21:03Power and glory
21:05Forever and ever
21:07I don't even know why I try
21:09Honestly, you
21:15Where are you going?
21:17Who wants to know?
21:18We have training
21:40S assassins
21:41God is a bien
21:42God is a madman
21:42heut
21:45Love you
21:46Thank you
21:46God is a great
22:00Love me
22:02Love you
22:03Love you
22:04Love you
22:14What the hell are you doing here?
22:16Making sure you're not late for training.
22:18No, Abigail, it's not your job to ride me.
22:20You know the drill.
22:21We're in this together.
22:22Oh.
22:23Yeah, is that what you said when you tried to ditch us?
22:27Hmm.
22:30So high and mighty.
22:42It's so beautiful, Mom.
22:44I'm glad you like it, my love.
22:46I was so surprised.
22:48I was kind of surprised when I was making it for you.
22:51It's amazing here, Mom.
22:53I mean, just the sense of history and culture.
22:56My unit.
22:57They're incredible.
22:59That's nice.
23:01Glory's here.
23:04Oh, good.
23:05How's she doing?
23:06She's scared.
23:09She should be scared.
23:11And so should you.
23:14I'm really trying to have a nice conversation, Mom.
23:18It's a death sentence, Tally.
23:21I've seen it with my own eyes.
23:26That place is not you.
23:30When are you coming home?
23:33I am home.
23:53My throat is still killing her.
23:55Maybe you should have let me finish fixing you.
23:57How was I supposed to know what you were doing to me?
23:59Well, now both our throats hurt, huh?
24:01Bitch.
24:03Bitch, bitch.
24:04Easy, guys.
24:05How about we keep it about the work, Abigail?
24:11Precision is key, always.
24:13Remember, you are calling on no less than the force of a hurricane.
24:16When my cousin did basic, they didn't learn windstrike until after Beltane.
24:20There's been a lot of chatter about how fast training is coming at you ladies.
24:24But are you really surprised, given the state of the world?
24:27The spree debuted a whole new kind of bomb in Kiev.
24:29We don't have nine months to get you ready.
24:36What are you so weepy about?
24:39My mom gave me this.
24:41It's a combat charm.
24:42It's a really big deal for her.
24:44She hates anything, even remotely military.
24:46So I called her to thank her.
24:48When it started out so well, devolved into the same old stuff.
24:51She kept saying, that place isn't you, Tally.
24:53It's a death sentence, Tally.
24:55And then I started to wonder, is she right?
24:59I mean, I couldn't stab and accost you today, so what does that say?
25:03Tally, I really need you focused right now.
25:10I am focused.
25:11It just happens to be my life right now.
25:13Training is your life right now.
25:15It's not about your mom anyway.
25:16It's so easy for you to say.
25:18What does that mean?
25:19I just mean, she's so supportive.
25:21My mom is a constant source of pressure.
25:23Make no mistake.
25:24How about we cool it on the mom talk?
25:26I'm sorry.
25:27In fact, why don't both of you just stop talking?
25:29Use what you've got, ladies.
25:42Best win strike of the day.
25:431,600 pounds per square foot.
25:46Nice work.
25:48You're headed to the pageant.
25:50Aside from the bellwether unit, the following units will also be attending.
25:53Amigant, Abergon, Moffat, Barbette.
25:58Congratulations.
26:00Bus leaves in two hours.

34:47I mean something reasonably dead, something fresh.
34:51Why?
34:55I want to show you something beautiful.
35:29It's a deathcap.
35:35In the kingdom of plants, mushrooms occupy the underworld.
35:40Nothing ever really dies.
35:42Life becomes death, which becomes life again.
35:46Over and over.
35:48My mom is really dead.
35:51Sorry, I know it's a sensitive subject.
35:53I just mean to say that death is more complicated than people think.
35:58It's not so cut and dry.
36:03And I'm sorry about the other day.
36:07I don't talk about myself very easily.
36:12Take as much time as you need.
