00:04We don't know how, but this force protects us when we're threatened.
00:07Just let me in.
00:09I wanna know how someone gets to be you.
00:11Spree gave me a place to put my pain.
00:14I guess we're more alike than I thought.
00:16What are you doing?
00:18I have no idea.
00:19I warned all witches of the Camarena's back.
00:21That's a fetch!
00:22She's been trapped!
00:26I really missed you.
00:27I thought you were dead.
00:28He's changing.
00:29This is not his place.
00:31The bond we shared will endure forever.
00:35We're surrounded.
00:36I have a real surprise.
00:38How can I help?
00:57It's been like this for days.
00:59They haven't been able to recreate the phenomenon at all.
01:03I've thrown everything I could think of at them.
01:06Sonics.
01:07Weather work.
01:08Physical and environmental stressors.
01:11Nothing.
01:12Disappointing.
01:14I've got a delegation coming from the Hague, and I had hope to tell them we had a new weapon
01:18in the coming fight against the Camarena.
01:20Yeah.
01:22Yeah.
01:25Soldiers, I want to thank you for your patience and cooperation.
01:28But we're suspending these tests.
01:30We can keep going, ma'am.
01:33For now, it's more important that you join Cadet Craven for the start of War College.
01:37But, ma'am, in the desert this way...
01:38Ah!
01:41Yes, ma'am.
01:42Thank you, ma'am.
01:55We need to find a different way forward.
02:00Any ideas?
02:01A closer look at the effects of the event might shed some light.
02:06May I show you something that just arrived from the Turim region?
02:13I always feel so humbled in her presence.
02:19General.
02:33Direct from the epicenter of the event.
02:38Extraordinary.
02:40I've never seen anything like it.
02:42Nothing human remains.
02:45I'm confident that my examination will tell us more about what it was that happened.
02:50And whether we can make it happen again.
02:53Keep me informed.
03:24I know you're there.
03:29I'm sorry.
03:36I know you're right.
03:41I am happy seeing it.
03:42If I just left the estruturas Моркл, I'm sorry.
03:42I don't know you're my only happy family to make it happen.
03:43See you later.
03:43If I'm not guilty about them, I'm sorry.
03:49Come on.
03:50You're right.
03:50You're right.
03:50Now, you're right.
04:15Are they going to keep testing you?
04:17No, they don't tell us anything.
04:18I hope so.
04:20There's no way they're just going to let it go.
04:21What, so you want to keep being a lab rat?
04:23If it keeps us in the fight, yes.
04:25Don't you want to understand what happened?
04:27Yes, of course I do, but I'd rather we figured out ourselves
04:29than have Isadora poking and prodding us.
04:33How about you?
04:34Any more weird alder dreams or snake bites?
04:37It was centipedes, and no, but I almost wish I would have one.
04:41It was terrifying, but also kind of amazing.
04:44All right, Bells, I know you've been waiting for this day your whole life,
04:47so what are we in for?
04:48Yeah, when do we meet our company?
04:49This morning, but nobody says company.
04:52Just call it our coven.
04:56Sekhmet.
04:57Egyptian?
04:59Every coven's named after a war goddess.
05:02Guys, apparently there are a lot of rumors going around about the three of us.
05:16I guess some people are saying we only got in because your mom pulled strings.
05:21Let people talk.
05:23We'll show them what we're made of soon enough.
05:31Is that the VP's daughter?
05:33Yeah.
05:34They're having her stay the sighted base till basic starts.
05:37Oh, she looks so lonely.
05:39I feel bad for her.
05:41I was still bittied when her father met, but Mulder seems freaked out by the whole witch thing.
05:55It's been a week.
05:56What have you learned?
05:57You were right.
05:59While I haven't heard anyone use the word Camarilla, it's clear that there's someone powerful pulling the strings.
06:05These rallies and vigils, they're too well-funded, too well-organized.
06:10We'll need more than that.
06:14And I've made friends.
06:16A couple, Bonnie and Shane, and they seem pretty well-connected.
06:20How so?
06:21Well, they always know when and where the next event is going to be, like before anyone else.
06:26Today, they'll be at the mall.
06:28Can you get close to them?
06:29I think so.
06:31The wife, she seems lonely.
06:34I think she can use a friend.
06:36Be careful.
06:38Don't lose sight of the mission.
06:40You know what can happen when you get too close.
06:47Why didn't you reach out to her?
06:49Did you know that when Raelle was 10, I spent a total of 18 days with my family?
06:56Yeah, she said it was like that a lot.
06:58Because they didn't approve of who I married.
07:02They decided to keep me in the field and keep us apart.
07:05Every time I walked in the door and saw that my girl was growing up without me,
07:10I got angrier.
07:13And that anger grew until I lost sight of everything but the Spree's mission.
07:20In the end, she still grew up without me.
07:23I live with that every day.
07:25And once we knew the Camarilla had returned, I started thinking she might be better off.
07:30Safer.
07:31In the army.
07:33What about now?
07:35What would I even say?
07:39Welcome to War College, Sekhmet.
07:43I'm your coven leader.
07:45Call me M.
07:46Feel free to come to me with any questions you might have.
07:49You will have some of your general classes together as a coven, but on most days you will be following
07:54your individual specializations.
07:57Once you've finished dealing with your super cool hair, of course.
08:04You'll find your rooms down the hall if you want to go ahead and stow your gear.
08:08Dismissed.
08:14Been a while, Bill Weather?
08:16It's good to see you.
08:18Hi, Gregorio.
08:21Later.
08:22Call her.
08:24Can I borrow you for a sec?
08:41I'm sorry about earlier.
08:43No need to apologize.
08:44I was staring at you.
08:46Why?
08:47Your reputation precedes you.
08:50I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
08:52Gossip's a high school thing, you think?
08:58In War College, gossip is intel.
09:02There's only one thing I've heard that concerns me.
09:05So am.
09:06That had to suck.
09:08Yeah.
09:09It did.
09:12Still does.
09:14I just want to make sure that this is all in the past.
09:19No more secrets that are going to come to light and reflect poorly on this company.
09:25Well, believe me.
09:28I'm all done with secrets.
09:34So, who is he?
09:36That's Gregorio.
09:38You've heard about him before.
09:40My cavalier.
09:41Oh, yeah.
09:42At your debut?
09:43Mm-hmm.
09:44Like the one that Libba stole from you?
09:45No one stole me.
09:48I'm not a possession.
09:55You just see your faces.
09:58Look, the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
10:02Libba and I were actually together back then.
10:04I'm sorry.
10:05I never knew that.
10:06No one did.
10:07We were keeping it a secret.
10:09And then my Atlantic tradition and the stars just dictated that I be your cavalier.
10:16Libba was never big on tradition.
10:18Well, unless it was the tradition of giving you shit.
10:20She was fond of that one.
10:23Yeah.
10:26You know, she would have liked your eulogy though.
10:29You were there?
10:32I thought it was beautiful.
10:36And it was fun watching your mother squirming.
10:39And now you're a male witch at war college.
10:41That must be exciting.
10:42Yeah, you can just say witch.
10:45Oh, I didn't mean to.
10:46I'm kidding.
10:49Is she always a serious?
11:04I just wanted to wish you all well on your first day of war college.
11:09And impress upon you the importance of the journey that you're on.
11:13It's not just about the spray anymore.
11:15We are now, all of us, facing the return of an enemy that I thought was gone from this world
11:22forever.
11:23An enemy that wants nothing less but the eradication of our kind.
11:29I want the thought of that enemy, the Camarilla, to be in your mind always as you continue your training.
11:41Driving you to excel and develop the skills that we will need to destroy them.
11:49I also want to encourage you to embrace the foundational principles of war college.
11:57To know
12:00you must be constantly seeking the truth no matter where it leads you.
12:09to dare
12:12to be utterly fearless
12:15not just in facing the enemy but also what lies inside you.
12:25to will
12:26to affect change in the world around you with total control and conscious intention.
12:36And to keep silent.
12:41You spoke the words in your oath.
12:43All secrets keep.
12:45It is this veil of silence that allows us to do what needs to be done to keep this nation
12:51safe.
12:53These are the pillars on which your curriculum is built.
12:57and the precepts by which I live my own life.
13:01Take them to heart.
13:04And they will serve you well.
13:10And with that,
13:12I'll leave you to get on with your day.
13:31If you're going to bring intrigue to class,
13:33you're going to have to make sure that there's enough to share.
13:36I think this is the part where we keep silent.
13:52Carefully now.
14:01It looks like the mycelium.
14:03It doesn't just look like it.
14:10This is part of our mycelium.
14:15Somehow she colonized a body that was halfway around the world at the time.
14:19How is that possible?
14:20Through Raelle?
14:22That must have been her voice it was using.
14:26Raelle is the only person who touched the mycelium and walked away more or less unscathed.
14:30They're still connected somehow.
14:32All right,
14:42but firstong
14:46is a predisposition.
14:47Well,
14:48it's not easy for her.
14:49You see?
14:50I know.
14:53You see them as to Allah.
14:55Marshal Awful!
14:56You knew that later.
14:57You knew it.
14:59You were someone who died more or not?
15:01If you knew it,
15:01you loved them.
15:18ORCHESTRA PLAYS
15:41ORCHESTRA PLAYS
16:30ORCHESTRA PLAYS
16:33We demand that the monsters responsible for this be held accountable.
16:40For too many years, the spree have been waging a war.
16:44The victims of this war are not witches, but decent, God-fearing Americans.
16:50Let's not let their sacrifice be in vain.
16:58Justine, I was wondering if I'd see you here.
17:00Hi. Yeah, no, I wanted to come and pay my respects.
17:05Shane is very inspiring.
17:08He's good, right?
17:09He certainly is.
17:10I lost both my parents in this attack, and I think about them all the time.
17:17And there's this hollow ache inside me where they used to be.
17:23It's okay. I know, it's hard to hear these stories.
17:27I think about all the ups and downs of life that I'll never get to share with them, and for
17:30what?
17:33All because they were in the wrong place.
17:40So yeah, I think about them, but I also think about that person, that witch.
17:51And I wonder, does she feel remorse?
17:55Does it keep her up at night thinking about what she did?
17:58Is there anything human left in her?
18:13What the hell are you doing?
18:16I can ask you the same thing.
18:20Revisiting some of your old haunts, feeling nostalgic.
18:23You've been following me.
18:25That fetch.
18:26That was you.
18:29Why haven't you arrested me?
18:31Because that's not what this is about.
18:33This is part of your quest to save me.
18:35To capitalize on the remorse you think that you felt when you linked with me.
18:40I'm sorry to disappoint, but you were wrong.
18:43You mean the remorse that's been written all over your face from the moment you walked in here?
18:50Look.
18:52You're right.
18:54That's how it started, but I've been watching you for weeks.
18:58It's got me curious.
19:00You're trying to infiltrate this movement, figure out who's behind it.
19:02It's more complicated than that.
19:08You think it's the Camarilla.
19:12Our ancient enemy has returned.
19:15Has the spree changed his focus?
19:18Some of us have.
19:21Why reveal yourself now?
19:23I saw an opportunity and I took a look.
19:25I want in on what you're doing.
19:26That's bullshit.
19:27What's really going on here?
19:31There are things that I've seen lately.
19:33Things about the army and Alder in particular that just...
19:38Don't sit right.
19:40Including the decision to just throw you away.
19:43Just has me wondering if there might not be a different way.
19:47Justine.
19:48There you are.
19:50We thought maybe you had left.
19:51Bonnie and Shane, this is...
19:53Hi, I'm Amelia.
19:55Your speech was...
19:58So moving.
20:00So sorry for your loss.
20:03It's hard being here.
20:05So, uh, you two know each other.
20:08Yeah.
20:09We've seen each other at rallies the past few weeks.
20:12Yeah.
20:13Feels like we're kindred spirits.
20:16I'm so sorry.
20:17This is all a bit overwhelming.
20:19Does anyone else need a drink?
20:22Definitely.
20:26Okay.
20:35Hey.
20:37You okay?
20:39Yeah, it's just my dad.
20:43I get it.
20:45With me, it's my mom.
20:46We can't get through a call without it ending up in tears.
20:50That's how we're gonna be late for class.
20:52Don't worry.
20:54It'll get better.
21:17Sorry I'm late, cadets.
21:20My name is Channing Grafton.
21:23And...
21:23I will be your instructor for mother tongue.
21:27Uh, I've asked Adil, our guest from the Tareem, to sit in since, unlike most American witches, he grew up
21:32speaking mother tongue from birth.
21:35How many of you are wondering why you need to study this at all?
21:40Isn't it just for the Hague at this point, or Hyde Lanix?
21:43No offense.
21:56I lost you at the end.
22:00Will...
22:00I...
22:01You.
22:02Will you stand?
22:05He's challenging you to a duel.
22:09There's no comparable term for it in English, but, uh, right of proxy is the closest.
22:15It's a tradition that's, uh, fallen out of favor in recent times.
22:21So, besides being the root of all known languages, which I personally think is pretty cool, uh, there's certain work
22:27that can only be done using mother tongue.
22:29And, uh, ask yourself this, how is it that Adil is able to speak perfect English, a language he's never
22:37studied?
22:39See, I finally have your attention.
22:43So...
22:48Excuse me, General. May I have a moment?
22:53Craven, what can I do for you?
22:54I've been thinking a lot about Penelope Silver.
22:57What about her?
22:57I'd like your permission to tutor her, to get her up to speed and ready to start basing.
23:03Your empathy as ever shines through.
23:06You have my blessing.
23:09General, the Hague delegation has arrived and are waiting for you in your office.
23:14Carry on, Cadet.
23:23Hello, General Alder.
23:26Kalita.
23:29What are you doing here?
23:31Discussing.
23:32Where Adil and I might settle.
23:37Hasem, Eva?
23:46In the interest of finding a permanent home for the Terim, Kalita will be touring some of the other Council
23:51nations.
23:52General Alder, I am forever grateful to you.
23:56But you know my feelings about us remaining here.
24:00If this is what you want, I'll arrange for a security detail.
24:03That won't be necessary.
24:05General Sharma has offered her protection.
24:08Kalita.
24:10I wish you would reconsider.
24:12Talk to your brother.
24:14He was there, in the Terim.
24:16He saw what the Camarilla is capable of.
24:19There have been reports of skirmishes with the Camarilla from several Council nations.
24:23And more outbreaks of that strange disease they created.
24:26We've been calling it the Witch Plague.
24:29Apparently it does not harm civilians.
24:31No.
24:32It's clear that the Camarilla have engineered it as a weapon of witch genocide.
24:36The Camarilla have found a way to replicate our work, using technology powered by the stolen vocal cords of witches.
24:44It's an abomination.
24:48Sarah, how can they have risen again without any of us knowing?
24:51I don't know.
24:53But what's important now is that we come together to stamp them out and remove the stain of their blood
24:59from this earth forever.
25:02I will root them out and destroy them in my country.
25:06Can I count on you to do the same in yours?
25:23Should I be offended that your mind is clearly focused on something else?
25:28I'm sorry.
25:31Kalita wants me to come with her on a world tour.
25:36Are you going to go with her?
25:39I don't know.
25:44I hear you had lunch with Gregorio.
25:47Can I ask you something?
25:49What is a Cavalilla?
25:52It sounds intimate.
25:54Frequently it is, but not with me and Gregorio.
25:59We just never click that way.
26:11I'm glad you're making friends though.
26:16Maybe that'll give you another reason to stay.
26:34The work you did with the bottle.
26:38What was that?
26:40Something of my own.
26:42It's definitely not canon.
26:45Maybe it could be.
26:48I don't think the Hague would approve.
26:50You saved our skins.
26:53For that I'm grateful.
26:54I'm happy to serve you, General.
26:58I've been watching you.
27:00What you can do is rare, but it's too wild.
27:03You need to put that power in the service of your will.
27:05Maybe you can help me with that.
27:08Yes.
27:09I think I can do that.
27:17Better?
27:19Better?
27:22Better.
27:24Better.
27:24Better.
27:25Better.
27:41Better.
27:50Definitely.
27:51Your work is forbidden to you, but our enemies will not hesitate to use it and neither will I.
28:01Let me be clear, you will not be learning how to use op-canon work.
28:08This is about learning to recognize it and to resist it.
28:15Ma'am, is there any way we can turn that radiator down?
28:21What radiator?
28:30There are sounds all around us at all times, above and below the range of our hearing.
28:40And all sorts of nastiness can be layered into those sounds.
28:45They can make you see and do terrible things.
28:51You must learn to recognize these sounds and resist them.
28:55Learn to identify and destroy their source.
29:03Ma'am, has the army ever used this sort of work in combat?
29:06No.
29:08This is the domain of our enemies.
29:11The Spree, in particular.
29:14The Spree, in particular.
29:15The Spree.
29:20The Spree.
29:25BELL RINGS
29:57What is this?
30:00How the hell did we get here?
30:12It's an exercise.
30:14What, so we have to find a way out?
30:16No, I don't think so.
30:24How many flocks is one room?
30:36What is going on?
30:39We have to find the source of working.
30:42We have to find the source of working.
30:50Found it.
30:51Found it.
30:53That's not it.
31:04No!
31:30Why aren't you doing anything?
31:31Why aren't you doing anything?
31:33I am.
31:47This way.
31:57You guys, you guys are killing me.
32:00Oh, I'm so glad we did this.
32:02Me too.
32:03It's been so great to meet you both.
32:05You know, the movement, the movement has been a bit of a boys club.
32:09You know what I mean?
32:11You've never complained before.
32:15No, I'm, I'm, I'm not complaining.
32:20No, I just, it's so nice having some ladies around.
32:26Speaking of the ladies, that's where I'm headed.
32:29Excuse me.
32:34Well, here's to new friends.
32:35Oh.
32:36And to ridding the world of monsters.
32:38I can definitely drink to that.
32:49Nice.
32:51I'm going to get us some more beer.
32:54Be right back.
32:58This has gone way too far.
33:01Either you leave now or I will.
33:03I don't think that's a good idea.
33:04You said it yourself.
33:05There's a lot at stake here.
33:06And that does not mean I want to work with the army.
33:08And I don't want to work with the spree.
33:11But.
33:13You sure you want to pull the plug just when it's getting interesting?
33:16Hmm.
33:28It's in here.
33:29Somewhere.
33:38I hate these things.
33:45Screw this place.
34:12It must be over now.
34:23Behind you!
34:25Behind you!
34:34Come on!
34:58very good craven no one has ever beaten the dollhouse on their first try before
35:04i could see it i could see the sound really interesting good job
35:16um needs the gas in here but uh what was the source in the first room
35:23there was no first room we were here the whole time well done
35:34wait where's abigail and rayal hello
35:42hello hello hello hello
35:51you touched her and now you have to pay is it or please no
35:57is it or please please no
36:03you have no idea what you've done the years of research that you ruined
36:09the years of my life that you stole
36:12you are an abomination and you will die
36:37it's conclusive
36:40the phenomenon comes from rayal and rayal alone
36:43what else as we suspected it's protective the fear and the danger had to be real in order to trigger
36:50it
36:51thank you for approving the test
36:54was a risk worth taking
36:56how did abigail handle it
36:58she took a swing at me
37:00ha
37:01not surprising
37:03she recovered fine
37:04but i think she's disappointed not to be a part of this
37:08well bellwethers are nothing if not ambitious
37:12so you'll continue testing rayal
37:16yes ma'am
37:18good
37:20be careful with her
37:22she just became one of our greatest assets
37:26these people are all so damn manipulative
37:28they couldn't care less what happens to us
37:30that's part of being a soldier
37:31what they did to us today
37:33has nothing to do with being a soldier
37:37at this point the only people i trust are you two
37:40what does it feel like
37:41when it goes off
37:44this time it felt like me wanting to kill isadora
37:47it's not like anything i've ever felt
37:50it's exciting
37:51it's
37:53it's terrifying
37:55i felt incredibly powerful but
