00:04Previously on motherland they're gonna tell you horrible things about you. I love you. She told you what you needed
00:09to hear
00:10Madam president. You are bound by rule of law to the will of the American people. The Spree have two
00:16trucks full of vines
00:17and we are going to take them out. They have hostages. The mission hasn't changed. Now!
00:23The Spree chose to execute the hostages. He didn't want to die. So now we must rebuild and end the
00:29Spree.
00:30What's said for all? Why are your people under siege? Many governments want what we have.
00:37Teach me your songs to make the world a better place. Do you imagine what the military could achieve with
00:42this power?
00:42Yes. Unfortunately I can't.
01:13Catherine is here.
01:13I've put you to my books here now. I've tried to get into that power. I've been doing it here.
01:14I've tried to get into that power. Okay.
01:19OK.
01:29I'm so excited to get into that power.
01:36I don't know.
02:09I don't know.
02:31I don't know.
03:02I don't know.
03:37I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
04:06Alder lied.
04:07Lower your voice.
04:09How do you just lie to the world like that?
04:11Everyone lies, Tal.
04:12I'm right out there just like that?
04:13To millions of people?
04:15War is cruel.
04:16That's all you have to say.
04:17War is cruel.
04:18There's always collateral damage, Tal.
04:20It's ugly, but that's part of being a soldier.
04:25I can still feel what those hostages were feeling.
04:31Knowing that we're gonna die.
04:35And then Libba.
04:39And we all have to remember that day for the rest of our lives.
04:44We've got you back, Tal.
04:45I don't think this kind of thing just gets better.
04:48We were used.
04:49Tally.
04:50No.
04:51That's exactly what happened.
04:53We were used.
04:55And Libba paid the ultimate price.
05:00Alder should never have pulled you into that.
05:02We did the best we could under the circumstances.
05:05You behaved with honor and bravery from what I've heard.
05:08I'm extremely proud of you.
05:12You will be expected to give Libba's eulogy.
05:15It's a tradition.
05:16Okay.
05:17You're the only other high Atlantic at our level in your company.
05:19And it's only proper.
05:20Mom.
05:22I said okay.
05:25Okay.
05:27Excellent.
05:29I'll help you with the speech.
05:47General, I have new intel on the terrain.
05:50And there's something I'd like to show you.
05:52You first.
05:53Go.
05:54Recon just located 15 refugees in the Altai Mountains.
05:57All with their vocal cords removed.
06:05In the same manner that my family was murdered.
06:07How did the spree find him before we did?
06:09What if it's not the spree?
06:11Who else could it be?
06:12They have yet to claim responsibility for the attacks on my family.
06:15Which is unusual.
06:18I borrowed this from Memorial Hall when I was working on the victims of the bellwether attack.
06:26The Camarilla?
06:28Really?
06:29My mother used to tell me the Camarilla would steal my voice away while I was asleep if I didn't
06:33sing my seeds before bed.
06:42They very much went on my voice in here, too.
06:48But I got away.
06:50They were extremely meticulous.
06:53I wanted to see if the methods were the same.
06:56Aping our ancient or manners is a new thrill.
06:59For this, we're nothing more.
07:00Their methods were identical.
07:02That kind of hatred no longer festers in the world.
07:05I rooted out the last remaining Camarilla over 200 years ago.
07:08Are we that desperate for ideas?
07:10We have a very real enemy in front of us.
07:13We do not need an imaginary one.
07:17How many of the terrain remain?
07:19Based on our intelligence, less than ten.
07:24They are the priority right now.
07:26We need to move.
07:27It's a powder keg over there.
07:28If Wade finds out...
07:29I can handle President Wade.
07:33You are dismissed.
07:48Do you want some more tea?
07:52Tal, hmm?
07:54You know I'm fine.
07:55You're not fine, Tal.
07:57I guess I'm not that fine then.
08:03Well, we did.
08:05With those people.
08:08That's not why I chose to come here.
08:11I came to do some good.
08:14We have to do something.
08:16Why do we have to do something?
08:18Because we were involved in something deeply unjust.
08:22An older sublime.
08:23Yeah, but who do we tell, Talie?
08:25Who do we trust?
08:27Anacostia's too close to Alder.
08:30What about your mom?
08:32She'll eat us alive for not observing Chain of Command.
08:35Well, maybe this is bigger than Chain of Command.
08:36This isn't going to go away!
08:42Tal, I hear you.
08:44And I don't disagree.
08:46Okay?
08:47But you don't know my mother.
08:50Please, Abigail.
08:56I can't hold on to any more secrets.
09:03No more secrets.
09:05Okay.
09:20Excuse us.
09:33I have terrible news.
09:35I'm sorry to say that more of your people have been murdered.
09:38You may stop.
09:40We already know.
09:42I intend to intervene immediately.
09:44I plan to appeal to the president.
09:46That will not be necessary.
09:50They will be wiped out soon.
09:52This is a humanitarian crisis.
09:54Then...
09:56It will be our end.
09:58Think about what she's offering.
10:00This risk is too great.
10:01What risk could be worse than the annihilation of...
10:03You know what would happen if our songs fell into the hands of governments and armies.
10:08There will be no more world to fight over.
10:10What I'm offering is the preservation of your people.
10:12Atwood Price.
10:13General Alder.
10:17How arrogant you are.
10:40Watch yourself.
10:43Our commitment to peace is non-negotiable.
10:47You're alive because of me.
10:50Not you.
10:52Exactly.
11:08Ladies, I am a very busy woman.
11:10We have some intelligence that would interest you.
11:12Alder lied about the hostages.
11:15Tell me more.
11:16I saw hostages in that second truck.
11:20Yes.
11:21The spree chose to execute their hostages.
11:23I'm sorry you had to see that.
11:25There are rules of engagement in war.
11:27But the spree have no regard for such things.
11:29Now, if you don't mind...
11:30We executed them.
11:33I told Anna Costa that they were in the truck.
11:35She relayed intel to Alder, who ordered the strike anyway.
11:41Glateral damage is always a part of war.
11:44And make no mistake.
11:45We are at war with the spree.
11:48You've been through a lot.
11:49I would focus your energies on finishing strong before graduation.
11:53The base has been infiltrated.
11:56By whom?
11:58The spree.
12:01Scylla.
12:02Alder has her in custody on base.
12:04At Fort Salem?
12:05Correct.
12:06Somewhere in the necro facility.
12:08They're interrogating her.
12:09That's how they found out about Baylord Otto.
12:15Ladies, you are dismissed.
12:41Do you ever miss it?
12:44Sometimes.
12:46Eating is overrated.
12:50I want to talk to you about Scylla.
12:53Let's get her off base, now that we got what we needed from her.
12:56I think she may still be of use.
12:59In what way?
13:00Why are you still on this?
13:01We can bring her around.
13:03Every day we keep her, we risk her escape, and goddess knows what else.
13:07She forfeited her rights when she became an agent for the end.
13:09What if we can turn her against the spree?
13:11Send her back to them to be our eyes?
13:13Not with a will like hers.
13:16How can you be so sure?
13:20Centuries of experience.
13:23Do you have a problem with this?
13:24No.
13:26No, not in the least.
13:28Good.
13:31She should be in prison.
13:34Arrange transport to our facility in San Dominique.
13:39Understood.
13:55Let's pray.
14:04Let's pray.
14:22ORGAN PLAYS
15:03ORGAN PLAYS
15:10ORGAN PLAYS
15:13ORGAN PLAYS
15:35First, I would like to extend my condolences
15:38to this wife's family.
15:45Service, duty, honor, bravery.
15:49These were more than just words to Libba.
15:53She answered the highest calling.
16:03I'm sorry, I can't.
16:17Elizabeth Cain Swythe was the girl I hated most in the world.
16:27And now she's gone.
16:34Hating Swythe is mother's milk to a bellwether.
16:38Some families sail, others ride.
16:41Bellwethers hate Swythe who hate bellwethers, going back and back to a time before we were
16:47even America.
16:50And for what?
16:54For tradition?
16:56For competition?
16:57Well, I fell right in.
17:00Lockstep.
17:01I pulled her hair, made her eat a piece of dead pigeon.
17:06I took her men, ate them whole, and spit them out at her feet.
17:09I called her name so foul that they could wake the dead.
17:18And now?
17:21This terrible now, she's gone.
17:27And there's one less witch in the world.
17:32And here we are alive to fight another day.
17:48Leba Swythe, you were the stone that sharpened my blade.
17:56The storm on my sunny day for those things.
18:01I'm grateful.
18:07May the goddess bless you.
18:11May the goddess bless this country that you served so well.
18:36May the goddess bless you.
18:53May the goddess bless you.
18:55You guys, stop.
18:57You're a leader.
19:01You're a natural-born leader.
19:04And I would follow you anywhere.
19:06You're a warrior queen.
19:09You're a priestess of ancient truth.
19:17I'm glad you came.
19:19Of course.
19:21I especially like the part about the dead pigeon.
19:25Oh, my mom looked like she was going to end me right there.
19:29I wish I could have met Leba.
19:32She could be frosty.
19:34That was part of her charm.
19:39I thought she was kind of cute.
19:42Uh-oh.
19:43Type emerging.
19:44Dark hair.
19:46Trouble.
19:46Oh.
19:47Oh, speaking of trouble.
19:53Garrett.
19:55What's wrong with the phone?
19:58How's that going now that he's hitched?
20:00It's, uh, complicated.
20:03I need this.
20:07I'm sorry.
20:09Actually, I'm not.
20:11Well, careful now.
20:12Hillary's formidable.
20:14She's deployed.
20:16Oh.
20:17Love you guys.
20:22Oh, jeez.
20:26I've missed you.
20:28Well, you're wild tonight.
20:30I'm just getting started.
20:31We don't have to rush.
20:32I just...
20:32Stop talking.
20:36We agreed.
20:37This isn't all sex.
20:39No talking thing.
20:42Yeah, of course.
20:44Great.
20:46So make me forget.
20:55How come you have time to sit with me all day?
20:58You're my priority.
21:01Lucky me.
21:03Hmm.
21:05I love what you've done to the place.
21:07It's kind of medieval.
21:08I confess.
21:10I am a witch.
21:22What's it like ending thousands of people?
21:26Did you know that in Germany, in 1761, 611 witches were burned alive?
21:33That's not the same.
21:34These people were dragged from their homes.
21:37Children, too.
21:40And even last year, a witch was burned.
21:42Alder wants to send you to our prison in the Caribbean.
21:47That sounds nice, although I do tend to burn.
21:49That's the kind of place no one comes back from.
21:59And how come I'm still here?
22:03I want to know how someone gets to be you.
22:07Lots of practice.
22:14Let me see Rael one more time.
22:20Why would I do that?
22:22I gave you Baylord, or should I say you took it?
22:27Now give me something.
22:28Do you have any idea what I would risk by doing that?
22:34If you give me this, I'll tell you all about the horrible things
22:39that made me who I am.
22:43Please.
22:55We know that the Tareem are on the run.
22:57If we can intercept them now, we can extract them quickly and safely.
23:02Why is everybody so worked up about these people?
23:04The work they possess is very special.
23:09Profoundly rare, in fact.
23:10Unfortunately, we can't make a move on the Tareem
23:12without setting off a conflict between Russia and China.
23:16You know better than to ask.
23:17The Tareem are of great military value.
23:19But there's also a humanitarian imperative.
23:23I forbid your intervention in this matter.
23:26Madam President, I must...
23:28Enough!
23:37You have nerve lecturing me about humanitarian consequences
23:42when you have sent untrained cadets into a live operation...
23:46It was an idea why Grant you...
23:47...resulting in the death of one of your own
23:49who I know did not complete basic training.
23:52Not to mention the civilian deaths.
23:54We destroyed hundreds of Spree munitions
23:56that were about to be distributed around the globe.
23:59I stand by my decision.
24:01I have to make tough choices every day.
24:03So do I, General Alder.
24:06So do I.
24:07And you've made the next one easy for me.
24:11Because I've just learned that you've allowed your Fort Salem
24:14to be infiltrated by the Spree.
24:19We have apprehended the Operator.
24:21I know.
24:23That's how you found out about Baylor Oro.
24:26But that's not the point.
24:28The point is...
24:29You've kept me in the dark about all of this.
24:32Not to mention compromising national security.
24:39Your days of leaving our military are over.
24:47You are the 45th president I have served.
24:51And no American deserves their retirement more than you.
24:58You've had a spectacular run, Sarah.
25:03I'll announce the changeover tonight.
25:08Thank you for your time, Madam President.
25:35Thank you for your time.
25:42Call her.
25:43I need to speak with you.
25:44I'll catch up.
25:52This is sensitive.
25:54Well, I've done a pretty good job of keeping my mouth shut.
25:57Speaking of Scylla.
25:59She's being moved to a military prison.
26:01Asked to see you one more time.
26:03It's likely she'll never return.
26:05That's great.
26:06I'm not helping you link with her.
26:10It's not about linking with her.
26:13I think it'd help Scylla.
26:14Maybe even help you to see her.
26:16Say goodbye.
26:20Why do you want to help Scylla?
26:24You know what?
26:26She's dead to me.
26:41What did Anna cost you want to talk to you about?
26:43Guess.
26:44Scylla?
26:45Oh, you're a good guesser.
26:51And?
26:55Scylla wants to see me.
26:57She wants to say goodbye.
26:59They're sending her to prison for life.
27:03Goddess protect him.
27:07So, are you going to see her?
27:11No.
27:12You might want to think about that a bit.
27:14I don't want to think about her at all.
27:16I'm just saying, if I had the chance to say one more little thing to Charvel,
27:19Abigail, or Libba, I'd take it.
27:26Forever's long.
27:31Abigail, General Bellwether wishes to see you in her office.
27:35I'm sure she has feedback about the speech.
27:46Libba's eulogy was unconventional, but extremely effective and very moving.
27:54I spoke from my heart and told the truth, just like you always told me.
27:58Well done.
28:01I had a remarkably civil conversation with Libba's mom.
28:04You make quite an impression on her as well.
28:06What's on your mind?
28:08Since when does a mother need a reason to see her daughter?
28:14Big changes are coming.
28:16Changes that will impact how the armed forces are run in this country, and by whom?
28:22You're getting promoted?
28:24This shift will change everything for me, and by extension, you.
28:28Tell me.
28:29It's too soon to say.
28:32But all eyes will be on this family in the coming weeks, and I need you not to do anything
28:36that will reflect poorly on the bellwether line.
28:39And that's different from any other day.
28:41How, exactly?
28:43Pay close attention to President Wade's address tonight.
28:46That's all I can say for now.
28:54We have to stop meeting like this.
29:00Oh!
29:01Hillary!
29:05I've been on a plane for 16 hours.
29:09I'm sorry.
29:10I'll go.
29:11Stay right where you are.
29:14Tell you what.
29:16Give me 10 in the shower, and I'll join you.
29:21Let's raise some power.
29:22You think you can handle us both?
29:26Good.
29:40So you knew she'd be back early.
29:42Tally, I...
29:43What?
29:44I was going to...
29:45Tell me.
29:46No parakeets available.
29:48Ouch.
29:49Yeah, sorry.
29:50But you've developed a habit of not telling me big things.
29:53It's what she wanted.
29:54Meaning?
29:54Do you want to walk in on us and turn it into a group thing?
29:57So you cast me in your little sex game without so much as a word?
30:00She knows about us.
30:01Yeah.
30:01This is our compromise we came up with.
30:04It has to work for her, too, right?
30:05It doesn't work for me.
30:07Tally, I'm married, okay?
30:09I did the best I could.
30:10You could have told me.
30:12I just really didn't think that you'd react this way.
30:14This is a way?
30:15Wait, what way is this?
30:17We were so insatiable last time.
30:22I thought you'd find it fun.
30:26You have no idea who I am.
30:29Tally.
30:31None.
30:32Tally!
30:36How's your sister?
30:40Anxious to return home.
30:42And the rest of your people?
30:46There was another attack.
30:49They did the same thing to them that they did to your family.
30:59And Cleta's refusing Alder's help.
31:02Wise girl.
31:05You don't trust her either?
31:08She's made some questionable calls lately.
31:10I think you should wait before accepting her help.
31:13We can't afford to wait much longer.
31:22Leadership is changing hands very soon.
31:27That's all I can say for now.
31:30Just trust me for a little bit longer.
31:35I trust you.
31:38You do?
32:04Any news on my Caribbean vacation?
32:09I might have to be executed.
32:12Calm down.
32:13Calm down.
32:18Calm down.
32:45You believed everything that you said about me.
32:51I loved you.
32:54I still love you.
32:57I know about Ellen.
33:01Have you done that to me before?
33:04No. Never.
33:07I messed up.
33:09There's no excuse. I...
33:13I was scared.
33:15Scared of losing your mark?
33:18It started like that.
33:21And you were...
33:23You.
33:25And I fell for you.
33:28I promise.
33:33I promise I'm telling the truth.
33:37Was anything real?
33:39Any of it.
33:40All of it.
33:42Rael, you have to believe me.
33:45I have nothing to gain by telling you this.
33:48I...
33:49They're shipping me off to die.
33:55Well, we all go sometime.
34:01Why did you pick me?
34:03Is it because my mom died?
34:04Well, you thought I'd be a likely convert?
34:06Do I look like I'm calling the shots around here?
34:08They didn't tell me.
34:09You know what?
34:10You know what? I get it.
34:11I get it.
34:12I was the sickest, weakest gazelle in the herd.
34:15I was easy prey for you.
34:19You have no idea how powerful you are.
34:25I don't feel powerful.
34:28I feel broken.
34:31Thanks to you.
34:35I'm sorry we ever met, Syl.
34:39I chose you.
34:44I had orders to deliver you.
34:48I chose you.
34:51Instead of them, I chose you.
34:55Please.
35:04That worked out really great.
35:05Thanks a lot.
35:20Just a little.
35:22Ladies.
35:23You almost go?
35:28Does anybody here then?
35:30I don't hear a thing.
35:35Well, whatever it is, it's too late now.
35:39Everyone clear.
35:40We go live in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
35:56Fellow citizens, the future of a troubled world now rests in our hands.
36:04We face an enemy with no regard for the conventions of war or the rules of what is right and
36:13good.
36:14The time has come to meet this enemy with more decisive force than we've ever employed in a precise systematic
36:23campaign to wipe the spree from the face of the earth for good.
36:29In this work, we are supported by the collective cooperation of many great nations.
36:38There is no middle ground.
36:41There is only one side now and only one leader to carry us through these perilous times.
36:49A woman whose courage, tenacity and purpose have seen us through many a storm.
36:58That leader is and has always been General of the Army, Sarah Alder.
37:08In accordance with the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the United States of America,
37:18I am granting General Alder full authorization to employ military force both at home and at a global level so
37:28she can take immediate relentless action against the spree unhindered and at her own discretion until these agents of the
37:37end have been eliminated.
37:39Our only ambition is to protect the innocent.
37:44Our only agenda to restore peace.
37:49Our only mission to eliminate a threat with decisive finality so that we never have to meet it again.
37:58There is no outcome but victory.
38:02We will prevail.
38:07Bless this great nation.
38:10And all who defend her.
38:31To dim
38:32Don't just step out of the breath
38:38You found this?
38:39I have no idea
38:40The Truth Out of Fall
38:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
39:17I shouldn't have put you through that.
39:23I wasn't even gonna go, I just...
39:34I still love her.
39:36I know.
39:41I'm so stupid.
39:43No, you're not.
39:45No, no, you're just...
39:47You're human.
39:51She loves you.
39:53That part's real.
40:03I think I messed up.
40:09I told Petra that Scylla was being held on base.
40:14Why'd you do that?
40:15We just...
40:15We didn't...
40:15We didn't know who else to talk to.
40:17Tali was just so freaked out after City Drop with the hostages and with Libba.
40:22So we tried to tell Petra what Alder did and she just...
40:25She didn't care.
40:26She needed something bigger.
40:28So I told her about Scylla.
40:31What?
40:31And Petra told President Wade, we have to find your unit now.
40:46What?
40:47What is it?
40:51Alder puppeted the President.
40:55Isn't that outlawed by The Hague?
40:57Very.
40:57And with good reason.
40:59I've known Alder since I was a kid.
41:01I've seen her make hundreds of tough calls but never like this.
41:03Never with such disregard for the cost of her actions.
41:07She's...
41:09Whatever you set in motion with Petra left her no alternative.
41:17Can she follow this back to us?
41:22If she does...
41:25You're all in grave danger.
41:48I won't be sunlight never.
41:50I'm all in ghosts.
41:58Who will you like?
41:58Or to come back to you?
41:59Where do you have any통?�I,
42:04you, who is. I've done
42:06a kind of eagle till then. It's still... You're
