00:04Previously on Motherland.
00:05Hello, Tali Craven.
00:06Am I being an idiot and thinking that there's something more here?
00:09What do I do?
00:10Trust the dance.
00:12It'll work out the way it's supposed to.
00:13General Ballwether.
00:14I think you knew my mother, Willa.
00:16She thinks you're the reason her mother's dead.
00:18How are things in Kiev?
00:19Fall back!
00:21No!
00:22You will find them.
00:24Perhaps it's time for more extreme methods.
00:26Tell me about the Tareem cell.
00:28How do you know about that?
00:29I'm your head of intelligence.
00:30I have friends at The Hague, too.
00:31My cousin's getting married next week.
00:33You want to come with me?
00:34The Dean of War College is going to be there,
00:36and this is your chance to prove to her that you're a leader.
00:38You're supposed to be luring her to us, not to you.
00:42I have feelings for you.
00:43That's something I'm used to having.
00:45The wedding the bellwethers are throwing?
00:47Get yourself invited.
00:50Oh, we brought the blasting.
00:52We didn't become storm fodder.
00:54You know, even Anacostia was impressed with her wind strikes.
00:56We could end up at the top of class when basic is done.
00:59That's what I've been saying this entire time.
01:01Focus and hear this.
01:03Today isn't just my cousin's wedding.
01:05Okay, we have our interview with the Dean of War College.
01:07It's not an interview, Abigail.
01:09It's an introduction.
01:10It's a pre-interview interview.
01:12Guys, he made every single one of these moves on me.
01:15What about Scylla?
01:16It's not a potluck.
01:18You have to have an invite, and Scylla's not invited.
01:20We need to focus on ourselves, not our distractions.
01:24She's not a distraction.
01:26That's fine.
01:27I can just stay on base.
01:28I think Garrick will be there.
01:29No, Tally.
01:30And how many times do I have to tell you you're supposed to meet other guys?
01:35My mother and all my fathers will be there, Rael.
01:38The Dean of War College.
01:39Military brass.
01:41This is the high-Atlantic function of the year.
01:45It's our chance to show who we are to the community that matters.
01:49Have you ever seen high-Atlantic royalty talk to someone with a session drawl?
01:52No one's gonna talk to me, Abigail.
01:55Or, you know, maybe I can let it rip with high command on how the peasants of Fort Salem are
01:59being primed to become war meat.
02:02Bet your mom would love that, huh?
02:05You should want Scylla to be there to keep me distracted.
02:07It'll be a nightmare with my family if you don't come, Rael.
02:12So that's it?
02:14Your girlfriend isn't included, so you're just gonna bail on us?
02:20If you don't come today, you're only hurting yourself.
02:23THE END
02:24THE END
03:36You know what we should do?
03:38We should run away together.
03:42I'm serious.
03:44Where's your favorite place to be?
03:45A beach named Labor and Pain.
03:50That sounds, um, magnificent.
03:52It's actually not far from the wedding.
03:54Oh, yeah?
03:55I went there once as a kid, just for a week, but I never forgot it.
04:00There's an abandoned lighthouse, and I would sit on the beach for hours.
04:06Watched the ships leave for faraway lands.
04:12I think that was the last place I felt free.
04:15So what are we waiting for?
04:18We'll run away and live on the beach.
04:20Leave our medals hanging on the door?
04:24Tell the birds to sing our goodbyes.
04:30I want to swim in the ocean.
04:32After the wedding, I promise.
04:34I mean, you shouldn't screw things up with Abigail.
04:38Don't not go because of me.
04:41I like doing everything because of you.
04:46I really wish you could come with me.
04:48Get through the wedding, and we'll go somewhere safe.
04:53Where we won't get caught and court-martialed.
04:56We're witches, Cilla.
04:58We're safe.
05:02Um, I wanted to give this to you at the wedding.
05:06But I figured we could be fancy and hang out here too, right?
05:11This is for you.
05:19It's perfect.
05:21You like it?
05:28Sexy weird.
05:29Like us.
05:31Yeah, that it is.
05:33I have something for you too.
05:37Okay.
05:38Hold out your hand.
05:43This could hurt.
05:50That'd be me.
05:55That was incredible.
05:57What was that?
05:58Just a little piece of work I cooked up.
06:01I just always want to be able to say hi to you, wherever you are.
06:06I love it.
06:20Let me get you back.
06:23Let me know if Abigail changes her mind.
06:26I'll be ready the moment she gives her blessing.
06:28Yeah, good luck with that.
07:13She wasn't able to get me on the gas list.
07:16I don't know what else I can do.
07:30I don't know what else I can do.
07:55I don't know.
07:58Maybe my sister's true calling should have been junior matrimonialist.
08:02I won't be able to top this when Abigail has her hand-pasting.
08:05So she'll have no choice but to enlist your help.
08:08Or yours.
08:09She always did keep the best office at headquarters.
08:15Cheers.
08:16The list.
08:17What do you get the bell where they're okay?
08:28Pass these around.
08:34Red wine.
08:47Red wine.
09:14Hi.
09:24I can't believe you're here.
09:26It's a very nice corsage.
09:29Well, thank you. It was a gift.
09:31How the hell did you get here?
09:32You can't crash this wedding.
09:34Did you tell her to come anyway?
09:36No, Abigail, I...
09:38How did you get here?
09:40I'm glad you came.
09:42You are not going to mess this up for us.
09:45Abigail, how wonderful to see you.
09:47Major Hulk, hi.
09:49Is this your unit?
09:50Yes.
09:51Mostly, yes.
09:54Wait till you see what your Aunt Edith's done.
09:55It's just magnificent.
10:06Family.
10:07Hope everyone's well and ready.
10:09Hi, Mom.
10:12You barely made it on time.
10:13And that's as good as being late.
10:15Couldn't have helped.
10:16These shivered issues.
10:17Because you don't have those issues here.
10:20Not today.
10:21Please introduce your unit to everyone.
10:25Guys.
10:31Um, Bellwethers, meet my unit.
10:34Tally Craven and Raelle Caller.
10:36It's a pleasure.
10:37Nice to meet you.
10:38Nice to meet you.
10:39Hi.
10:39Lovely to meet you.
10:40Ah, this is Scylla Ramshorn.
10:42She's my guest.
10:44Nice to meet you, Scylla.
10:46Tally, Raelle, please consider yourselves part of the family.
10:51We'll be starting soon.
10:53Abigail.
10:58Hi.
11:02Thanks for introducing me.
11:05I'm gonna bail later and go find the beach.
11:07Oh, that's okay.
11:08I'll just hang out.
11:09Well, I mean, you can come too if you want to.
11:12It's okay.
11:13We should stay here and meet other guys
11:15and be all rah-rah unit unity, like Abigail said.
11:21Who is the girl Raelle brought?
11:23Another shit bird.
11:25Hmm.
11:26Well, let's stay positive.
11:28Lots of people to impress.
11:30I'm prepared.
11:32Remember that darling boy from summer camp
11:34who used to pull your hair?
11:36Raph?
11:37That's the one.
11:39He's here.
11:40And the sorcelles are here.
11:45Money's about to start.
11:46Make sure I introduce you later.
12:05The acorn on its train was for you, and only you're relinquished.
12:15One more hand and I left it.
12:18And I need to make it for you.
12:23I need to make it for you.
12:51A blessing on the bellwethers for their matriline to continue on with this union.
12:57As rising moon and setting sun.
13:08This knot connects all the ribbons that were passed down from mother to daughter.
13:14Dedicated to the daughter yet to come.
13:19The ties that bind here will strengthen your union for five years.
13:24Do you, Charvel Bellwether, and Ciro Hood seek to enter this contract?
13:30We do.
13:31Charvel and Ciro, will you honor each other as equals in this union?
13:37We will.
13:53I will.
13:55And so the bonding is made.
13:58Wait.
14:19Hey, how are you?
14:20Great.
14:21Are you guys enjoying yourselves?
14:32Maybe you want to slow down?
14:34Our interview with the dean is very soon.
14:37If we make a good impression here,
14:38it'll be a breeze getting into more college.
14:40Aye, aye, Captain.
14:41Abigail, relax.
14:42We have at least an hour.
14:44I'm good.
14:45It's yourself.
14:49So, um, there's a beach nearby?
14:52A private beach.
14:54They have lobster.
14:55Oh.
14:59General Cleary.
15:03For Lieutenant Cleary, who fulfilled her pledge with honor,
15:07may she journey home and sing the song of the spiral
15:10with our foremothers.
15:12So kind of you, Abigail.
15:17Why don't you mingle, dear?
15:19Be sure to say hello to the sore cells.
15:21Of course.
15:23No problem, I don't think she's dealing with.
15:27She seems to forget I have friends at The Hague, too.
15:29Her hubris.
15:31General Alders had plenty of time
15:33to do something about the spree.
15:36Maybe it's time for a change.
16:02She's ignored, huh?
16:04Be here with me, or we can head down to the beach.
16:08Yes.
16:09She's gonna try and kick you out.
16:12No, I'm not taking her crap today.
16:20Her name wouldn't be on the list.
16:22You're not supposed to be here.
16:24She goes where I go.
16:26So is my girlfriend.
16:26A unity thing has come up, and I need you, OK?
16:36You OK?
16:38I'm not afraid, if that's what you're asking.
16:48I expressly told you to stay away from her.
16:53I couldn't.
16:55I have deep feelings for her, and she does for me.
17:00Don't take this out of Raelle.
17:02I take full responsibility for disobeying your orders.
17:05You've disobeyed my orders,
17:07and you've taken advantage of a new recruit.
17:09She's been improving in training since we've met.
17:12I've been a positive influence on her.
17:14Raelle doesn't need you.
17:17She has her own gifts.
17:21I suggest you end it sooner than later,
17:23or I will make life very difficult for you, Framsgaard.
17:30Yes, ma'am.
17:40Thanks.
17:43What?
17:44Tell me.
17:48What's going on?
17:49Garrett's here.
17:52I can't believe you didn't tell me.
17:55I can't believe he didn't tell me.
17:57I should say hi, right?
17:59No.
17:59Yay.
18:02This is a disaster.
18:03What's your problem, Bellweather?
18:05Let her have her happiness.
18:06Garrett's engaged.
18:07What?
18:08High Atlantic custom.
18:10All the betrothed men wear sashes.
18:19This is going to be bad.
18:24What are you doing here?
18:26How come you didn't tell me?
18:38Listen, I have to tell you about this, Sasha.
18:40I know about the codices.
18:43Codices?
18:43What about them?
18:44I read them.
18:45So you're just trained to be funny, poetic.
18:50Or you really like that.
18:53I'm just me.
18:55Oh, so it's a game.
18:56And you just do whatever the playbook tells you to do.
18:58No.
18:59Not with you.
19:01Talia, I've spent my whole life with high Atlantic girls
19:03who are like a breath of fresh air.
19:05Oh.
19:06Yeah, right.
19:07This is not a game.
19:09Even though we met at one.
19:12Don't mess with me, Garrett Buttonwood.
19:19I don't blame you for doubting me.
19:22And honestly, I'm a little surprised myself
19:24because this is all happening so fast.
19:27But I want to be with only you.
19:30But, Talia, we have to talk.
19:32Um, you see...
19:47Sorry I left you with her.
19:49Just...
19:49Talia's about to get her heart broken.
19:52You OK?
19:53Yeah.
19:54And it cost you?
19:55It's intense.
19:57Yep.
19:58She said something interesting, though.
20:01Evidently, you're a very gifted student.
20:04There's no way she said that.
20:08Thank you for what you said.
20:10And what did I say?
20:12You know.
20:14What?
20:14The girlfriend part?
20:16Yeah.
20:17The girlfriend part.
20:19Hm.
20:32Are you having fun?
20:35Oh, this will help.
20:37Oh, is this how you've been getting good today?
20:39Mm-hmm.
20:40You know me too well.
20:41Oh, which is yours in there?
20:43Hm.
20:44OK.
20:45What is it?
20:47I'm meeting with the dean today.
20:49With my soup kitchen of a unit.
20:51Do you have any advice?
20:52About what?
20:53What to say?
20:54How to make a good impression?
20:56Oh, last name, bow, weather, first name, Abigail.
20:58What more does she need to know?
21:00Um, something about me?
21:02You seriously can't be sweating this.
21:04All you need to do is show up, little pal.
21:06I'm more than my name.
21:09What did Dean do all the talking?
21:11And besides, I'm more interested in you helping me into my dress
21:13than managing your privilege.
21:15Meet me in the upstairs guest room.
21:17I'll let the dress know.
21:24I should tell you I'm here with someone else.
21:27I only need you for an interview energy boost.
21:3010 minutes max.
21:31Then I'll be good.
21:32I'll be good.
22:06We should go inside.
22:07No, we can't.
22:11Tally, I want to be with you.
22:13I do.
22:18I love you.
22:22And you have to believe me no matter what happens.
22:25OK?
22:28I love you, too.
22:33I love you, too.
22:33Oh, shit.
22:34Um, I will explain everything after.
22:37We have an announcement!
22:38OK?
22:38I promise.
22:39Mm-hmm.
22:41Wait.
22:42After what?
22:54And finally, our last union to recognize today,
22:59Garrett Buttonwood will be out of circulation
23:03for the next five years.
23:05Sorry, ladies.
23:06He and Hillary Saint went on a trial run last season
23:10and decided to make it official with a five-year contract
23:14based on healthy issues.
23:16Congratulations to the new couples.
23:29Tis time.
23:30The Dean of War College, Coral Holmote.
23:33Meet my daughter, Abigail, and her unit.
23:36Tally Craven and Raelle Collar.
23:38It's an honor to meet you.
23:41For all of us.
23:43Feel free to use the den if you want some privacy, Coral.
23:46Abigail knows the way.
23:50Are you all right, dear?
23:55I'm sorry.
23:57Excuse me.
23:59Excuse me.
24:00Excuse me.
24:00I should go out.
24:04Well.
24:06I could apologize, but, um, I know I have a lot of work
24:12to do with them.
24:12Don't worry about that.
24:14It was nice meeting you, Abigail.
24:16Dean, shouldn't we talk about my credentials for War College?
24:20You're Petra Bellwether's daughter, war hero,
24:24mistress of blasters, a leader of witches.
24:27Even sleepwalking, we'd let you in.
24:30We owe your mother at least that much.
24:33Now, have you tried the lemon cakes and grilled calf's hearts?
24:36The caterer really got the traditional pagan grub
24:39right this season.
24:48You tell?
24:50Tell?
24:52You just need to be alone, OK?
24:56Let me know if you need me OK?
24:57So I hope it won't be too long until we all gather together again.
25:01I have big plans for Abigail's hand-fasting, once she finds her intended.
25:06We never have enough time as a family to get together and really enjoy these things.
25:10I just want to say thank you for all yours together.
25:13Excuse me.
25:14Excuse me.
25:16I've been wanting to have a conversation with you for a while.
25:18Yes.
25:19Of course, Raelle.
25:21I heard a lot of things went wrong on my mom's last mission, and a lot of things could
25:24have been done differently.
25:25Willa Collar was one of the bravest soldiers I knew.
25:30She was the fixer every unit wanted to deploy with.
25:33Your mother's unconventional methods delivered incredible results.
25:40Countless lives were saved because of her work, and from what I understand, you have
25:44followed in her footsteps, trying to save a young man's life.
25:50I wish she could have been here with us today.
25:54She would be so proud of you.
26:08I wish she could have been here, too.
26:17It's like a thousand aftershocks have been set off by your bridal glory.
26:21That's what I said when I saw it.
26:23It's not just the dress, though.
26:27Something's missing.
26:29Where are my earrings?
26:30You're supposed to be getting me into all of this.
26:32You're so demanding.
26:36In the best bridal way.
26:42I'm happy for you, cousin.
26:44Me too.
26:45I'm so happy for me.
26:47You think you'll make it five years with just one man?
26:49Abigail.
26:51Of course not.
26:52And that's not the point of the ceremony.
26:54What about the part where you vow to give five years of your youth and beauty away?
26:59More of a lend than a give.
27:01Anyway, it's nowhere near as limiting as they make it sound.
27:05You'll see when it's your time.
27:07Besides, this is what the others do when we're not winning wars.
27:15Ciro's a fine choice.
27:16In every way.
27:18What a family.
27:20His mom's a brigadier general.
27:21Goddess permits, you'll be deploying with a full belly.
27:25Wasn't Edith pregnant with you?
27:27During the siege of Khartoum?
27:28Yes, but I turned out OK.
27:31Just OK?
27:34Now you're being modest.
27:35I just want to get to the part where I can show off this dress.
27:39Look at it.
27:41We don't get to wear a lot of dresses.
27:43It'll be a hard act to follow at War College.
27:46Dean's List every year.
27:48You'll be in there too, dear.
27:50Don't fret.
27:52Another poll?
27:56OK.
27:58So how'd it go with Dean Olmote?
28:00You look pinched.
28:01You're not so worried about getting into War College, are you?
28:04You were right.
28:05The briefest of introductions, and then she made a break for the buffet.
28:09I told you the deal.
28:11Bellwether.
28:12End of story.
28:13I just want to do well.
28:15Make a name for myself.
28:18We all do.
28:20But the name is what people remember.
28:22The sooner you accept it, the sooner I can have a perfect wedding.
28:26You're stressing me out.
28:28Sorry.
28:30This is your day.
28:33It's OK, Biscuit.
28:36I love you to the moon and back, cousin.
28:40You too, Char.
28:41I need to be more like you when I grow up.
28:43I wouldn't go that far.
28:45You mingle.
28:46I'm going to soak my feet so I won't wobble around my high heels all night.
28:50And then, we're going to grab ten minutes so I can reintroduce you to the Dean, get you
28:57on her list before you even leave Grand Salem.
29:43I have her.
29:45I'm awaiting instructions on an extraction point.
29:54I need to know she'll be safe once I get her there.
29:56I'm waiting for her to get her to see her.
29:57Should I wake with her?
30:38To be continued...
31:08Something happened with Abigail's mom?
31:11No, it's nothing.
31:15It's just my mom and her mom.
31:22Still a lot of moms around right now.
31:29Come with me.
31:33How'd I walk on the beach?
31:42Actually, can we dance for a minute?
31:49Sure.
31:53Of course.
31:59Excuse me.
32:01Good news.
32:03The dean was very impressed with you.
32:04With me?
32:05Not so much.
32:07Impressed with your medals and the bellwether name?
32:09Absolutely.
32:10What are you talking about?
32:11She didn't even pretend to care about what I had to bring to the table.
32:15Shouldn't being a good soldier mean more than coasting on a reputation and legacy?
32:19Abigail, everything I've done has been with you in mind.
32:22So you could have every opportunity.
32:24To make yourself look better.
32:30Have you seen Travell?
32:32No.
32:32Have you seen Tally?
32:33Leave her be.
32:34You'll only make it worse.
32:36Just...
32:37Just stay away from her.
32:52Yes, I agree.
32:53I think the bride even will take...
32:55Excuse me, private credit.
32:56Sorry, it's urgent.
32:59Private.
33:05Will you please excuse me?
33:09What is it?
33:14I saw it alone.
33:17I think Scylla is free.
33:27Here I am a stranger
33:30Here I am a woman
33:34Staring in the mirror, mirror
33:40How did we arrive here?
33:46How emotional I move
33:50Moving in the mirror, mirror
34:14So, what's wrong?
34:15You want a pill?
34:16Nothing.
34:17I'm good.
34:17I'm fine.
34:19You sure?
34:22I'm good.
34:24Let's just dance.
34:27Okay.
34:34No matter what happens
34:37I love you.
34:41What love can mean
34:43What love can mean
34:45You stay wild at home
34:50And know the end is near
34:54What love can mean
34:57What love can mean
35:01Charvel?
35:05Charvel?
35:06Charvel?
35:07Charvel, it's me.
35:08Charvel?
35:17Charvel?
35:21Charvel?
35:22Charvel!
35:40Farvel?
35:52Farvel?
36:23Yes!
36:34Balloons.
36:38Follow lockdown protocol. Secure the perimeter.
36:40Everyone clear out. Move inside.
36:43What's happening?
36:44Let's remain calm and move inside, everybody. Let's go.
36:47Party's over. Move inside, guys. Let's go.
37:07Where's Abigail?
37:08I don't know. Go back and help.
37:08I don't know. Go back and help.
37:10You're up, up. Get inside.
37:14No!
37:15No!
37:16No!
37:18No!
37:31No!
37:33Get inside! Stay inside!
37:36Where's Abigail?
37:37I haven't seen her!
37:38Scylla!
37:41Where's Abigail?
37:42I don't know. We're still alive.
37:48What the hell is happening?
37:51Abigail!
37:53Abigail!
38:03Abigail!
38:08Ah!
38:18Bye!
38:19Uh, Hold on!
38:21Uh huh.
38:22Uh huh!
38:23Uh.

39:47Oh, my God.
39:50Oh, my God.
39:57These fixers will see to you.
40:01I'll find your sister.
40:14There's still no sign of Abigail and Scylla.
40:17Do you think she's hurt?
40:17What do you think you have in her?
40:19Tell?
40:24I can't.
40:27I can't.
40:34You're hurt.
40:37I...
40:38Charvel.
40:42She's dead.
40:49Scylla's gone, too.
40:50I can't.
40:52I can't.
40:53I can't.
40:56I can't.
