00:01Previously on Motherlife
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.
00:11Sofri gave me a place to put my pain.
00:14I guess we're more alike than I thought.
00:17What are you doing?
00:18I have no idea.
00:19I warned all witches of the Camarena's back.
00:22That'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?
00:38Hello?
00:40Hello!
00:42Hello?
00:44Hello?
00:46Hello?
00:47Hello?
00:56It'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, weather work, physical and environmental stressors.
01:11Nothing.
01:13Disappointing.
01:14I've got a delegation coming from The Hague, and I had hope to tell them
01:17we had a new weapon in the coming fight against the Camarillo.
01:22Okay.
01:25Soldiers, I want to thank you for your patience and cooperation.
01:29But we're suspending these tests.
01:31We 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 week...
01:38Ah!
01:41Yes, ma'am.
01:42Thank you, ma'am.
01:55We need to find a different way forward.
02:00Any ideas?
02:02A 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.
02:43Nothing 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.
02:54Keep me informed.
03:22Keep me informed.
04:24If it keeps us in the fight, yes.
04:26Don't you want to understand what happened?
04:27Yes, of course I do.
04:28But I'd rather we figured out ourselves than have Isadora poking and prodding us.
04:33How about you?
04:35Any 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.
04:45I 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?
04:50This morning, but nobody says company.
04:52Just call it our coven.
04:57Sekhmet.
04:58Egyptian?
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.
05:12What?
05:17I guess some people are saying we only got in because your mom pulled strings.
05:22Let people talk.
05:23We'll show them what we're made of soon enough.
05:31Is that the VP's daughter?
05:33Yeah.
05:35They're having her stay the sighted base till basic starts.
05:38Oh, she looks so lonely.
05:39I feel bad for her.
05:42I was still bittied when her father met with Mulder.
05:45Seems 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,
06:02it's clear that there's someone powerful pulling the strings.
06:05These rallies and vigils, they're too well-funded, too well-organized.
06:11We'll need more than that.
06:14And I've made friends.
06:16A couple.
06:17Bonnie 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.
06:24Maybe, 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 Rael was ten,
06:53I spent a total of 18 days with my family?
06:56Yeah, she said it was like that a lot.
06:59Because 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.
07:23And I live with that every day.
07:25And once we knew the Camarilla had returned,
07:27I started thinking she might be better off,
07:30safer, in the Army.
07:33What about now?
07:35What would I even say?
07:40Welcome 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,
07:53but on most days, you will be following your individual specializations.
07:57Once you've finished dealing with your super cool hair, of course.
08:01Fear not.
08:02You're still bunking together as units.
08:04You'll find rooms down the hall if you want to go ahead and stow your gear.
08:08Dismissed.
08:09All right.
08:13It's been a while, Bill Weather.
08:16It's good to see you.
08:18Hi, Gregorio.
08:22Later.
08:23Call 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?
08:48Your reputation precedes you.
08:50I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
08:53Gossip's a little 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.
09:12It still 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.
09:40Hi, Cavalier.
09:41Oh, yeah.
09:42Oh, yeah.
09:42At your debut?
09:43Mm-hmm.
09:44Like the one that Libba stole from you?
09:45No one stole me.
09:49I'm not a possession.
09:55Oh, you 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 dictated that I be your Cavalier.
10:16Libba was never big on tradition.
10:18Well, unless it was the tradition of giving you shit.
10:21She was fond of that one.
10:23Yeah.
10:27You 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.
10:43Yeah, you can just say witch.
10:45Oh, I didn't mean to.
10:46I'm kidding.
10:50Is she always a serious?
10:52Yeah.
10:55Second man!
10:56Theo on deck!
11:05I 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.
11:16We are now, all of us, facing the return of an enemy that I thought was gone from this world
11:23forever.
11:23An enemy that wants nothing less but the eradication of our kind.
11:29I want the thought of that enemy.
11:33The Camarilla.
11:35To be in your mind always as you continue your training.
11:42Driving you to excel and develop the skills that we will need to destroy them.
11:49And then, I also want to encourage you to embrace the foundational principles of war college.
11:57To know you must be constantly seeking the truth, no matter where it leads you.
12:09To dare to be utterly fearless, not just in facing the enemy, but also what lies inside you.
12:25To will to 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.
12:44All secrets keep.
12:46It 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,
13:13I'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.
14:11This 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 Rael.
14:23That must have been her voice it was using.
14:26Rael is the only person who touched the mycelium and walked away more or less unscathed.
14:31They're still connected somehow.
15:05They're still connected into the full sensor.
15:06Oh, that's good.
15:19clouds won't put hardcore sun creation.
15:20They were the ones that kept broken around.
15:21They were the ones that were made up the old one.
16:21I'm pleased you've all turned out to pay your respects.
16:25But we must also raise our voices and let the powers that be know that we demand justice.
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.
16:57Justine!
16:59I was wondering if I'd see you here.
17:01Hi.
17:02Yeah, no, I wanted to come and pay my respects.
17:06Shane is very inspiring.
17:08He's good, right?
17:09He certainly is.
17:10I lost both my parents in this attack, and, uh, 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.
17:25I 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
17:31what?
17:33All because they were in the wrong place.
17:41So, yeah, I think about them, but I also think about that person, that witch.
17:52And 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, that was you.
18:29Why haven't you arrested me?
18:31Because that's not what this is about.
18:32Mm, this is part of your quest to save me, to capitalize on the remorse you think that you felt
18:38when you linked with me.
18:40I'm sorry to disappoint, but you were wrong.
18:43You mean the remorse has been written all over your face from the moment you walked in here?
18:52Look, you'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.
19:03It's more complicated than that.
19:08You think it's the Camarilla?
19:12Our ancient enemy has returned.
19:16Has the spree changed its focus?
19:19Some of us have.
19:21Why reveal yourself now?
19:23I saw an opportunity and I took it.
19:25Look, I want in on what you're doing.
19:26Last potion.
19:28What's really going on here?
19:31There are things that I've seen lately.
19:35Things about the army and Alder in particular that just don'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.
19:49There you are.
19:50Oh, you thought maybe you had left.
19:51Uh, Bonnie and Shane, this is, um...
19:53Hi, I'm Amelia.
19:56Your speech was so moving.
20:00So sorry for your loss.
20:03It's hard being here.
20:05So, um, 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.
20:36Hey.
20:37You okay?
20:40Yeah, it's just my dad.
20:44I get it.
20:45With me, it's my mom.
20:47We can't get through a call without it ending up in tears.
20:50Tal, we're going to be late for class.
20:52Don't worry.
20:54It'll get better.
20:55Come on.
20:58Come on.
21:10Come on.
21:12Come on.
21:13Come on.
21:14Come on.
21:17Sorry I'm late, cadets.
21:20My name is Channing Grafton, and I will be your instructor for Mother Tongue.
21:27I've asked Adil, our guest from the Tarim, to sit in since, unlike most American witches,
21:32he grew up speaking 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? No offense.
21:56I lost you at the end. Will... you? Will you stand?
22:05He's challenging you to a duel.
22:09There's no comparable term for it in English, but right of proxy is the closest.
22:15It's a tradition that's fallen out of favor in recent times.
22:21So, besides being the root of all known languages, which I personally think is pretty cool,
22:26there's certain work that can only be done using Mother Tongue.
22:30And, uh, ask yourself this. How is it that Adil is able to speak perfect English?
22:35A language he's never studied.
22:39See, I finally have your attention.
22:43So...
22:44Excuse me, General. May I have a moment?
22:52Craven, what can I do for you?
22:55I've been thinking a lot about Penelope Silver.
22:57What about her?
22:58I'd like your permission to tutor her.
23:00To 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 where Adil and I might settle.
23:37How are you doing here?
23:38How are you doing here?
23:42How are you doing here?
23:45In 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.
23:59If 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.
24:09Kalita, I 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.
24:39Using 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.
24:54But what's important now is that we come together to stamp them out.
24:58And remove the stain of their blood from 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.
25:37Are you going to go with her?
25:40I don't know.
25:44I hear you had lunch with Gregorio.
25:47Can I ask you something?
25:50What 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.
26:44What was that?
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.
26:55I'm happy to serve you, General.
26:58I've been watching you.
27:00What you can do is rare.
27:02It's too wild.
27:03You need to put that power in the service of your will.
27:06Maybe you can help me with that.
27:08Yes.
27:10I think I could do that.
27:17Better?
27:19Better.
27:21Better.
27:41I am Major Magda Verger, and this is your introduction to off-canon work.
27:50This sort of work is forbidden to you.
27:53But our enemies will not hesitate to use it, and neither will I.
28:01Let me be clear.
28:03You will not be learning how to use off-canon work.
28:08This is about learning to recognize it, and to resist it.
28:16Ma'am, is there any way we can turn that radiator down?
28:21What radiator?
28:30There are sounds all around us at all times, both above and below the range of our hearing.
28:39And 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.
29:02Ma'am, has the army ever used this sort of work in combat?
29:07No.
29:08This is the domain of our enemies.
29:11The Spree, in particular.
29:25The Spree, in particular.
29:27The Spree.
29:35I need all this.
29:35It's hard to do.
29:41Why are we coming here?
29:42The Spree to the Spree.
29:45The Spree.
29:45The Spree to the Spree.
29:47The Spree.
29:47The Spree.
29:48How is this?
29:49The Spree.
29:49How is it?
29:49How is it?
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.
30:25How many clocks is one room?
30:27What is going on?
30:39We have to find the source of working.
30:50Found it.
30:51Found it.
30:53That's not it.
31:04No!
31:07No!
31:30Why aren't you doing anything?
31:33I am.
31:48This way, this way, this way, this 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.
32:16Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm not complaining.
32:20You know, 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.
32:36Oh.
32:36And to ridding the world of monsters.
32:38I can definitely drink to that.
32:50Nice.
32:51Oh.
32:52I'm gonna get us some more beer.
32:53Who?
32:54Be right back.
32:56Hey.
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.
33:13But, you sure you want to pull the plug just when it's getting interesting?
33:27Oh.
33:28It's in here.
33:30Somewhere.
33:34I hate these things.
33:39Anyways.
33:46Screw this place.
34:12It must be over now.
34:23Behind you!
34:25Behind you!
34:58Very good, Craven.
35:00No one has ever beaten the dollhouse on their first try before.
35:04I could see it. I could see the sound.
35:10Really interesting.
35:13Good job.
35:17It means the gas in here, but what was the source in the first room?
35:24There was no first room. We were here the whole time.
35:28Well done.
35:34Wait. Where's Abigail and Raelle?
35:37Hello?
35:41Hello?
35:42Hello?
35:43Hello?
35:44Hello?
35:44Hello?
35:46Rae?
35:47Abigail? Rae?
35:51You touched her.
35:53And now you have to pay.
35:56Isidore, please! No! Isidore, please!
35:59Please!
36:01No!
36:03Abigail!
36:04You have no idea what you've done.
36:06The years of research that you ruined.
36:10Years of my life that you stole!
36:13Abigail!
36:18You are an abomination.
36:21And you will die!
36:37It's conclusive.
36:40The phenomenon comes from Raelle.
36:42And Raelle alone.
36:44What else?
36:45As we suspected, it's protective.
36:47The fear and the danger had to be real in order to trigger it.
36:51Thank you for approving the test.
36:54It was a risk worth taking.
36:57How did Abigail handle it?
36:59She took a swing at me.
37:00Ha!
37:02Not surprising.
37:03She recovered fine.
37:05But 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 Raelle?
37:16Yes, ma'am.
37:18Good.
37:20But be 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.
37:32What they did to us today has 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 when 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.
37:52It's...
37:53It's terrifying.
37:55I felt incredibly powerful, but also like it was completely out of my control.
38:01Sorry, I don't...
38:03I don't even think I could do it justice, honestly.
38:07What happens next?
38:10More tests, apparently.
38:13Just what I was hoping to avoid.
38:20You okay?
38:23Yeah, I'm uh...
38:26I'm just really tired.
38:29I'm...
38:30gonna go back to the room.
38:40So it was catch and release.
38:43Yeah, I'm sorry.
38:44I...
38:45I should have been more careful.
38:47What about her working alone?
38:48Do you believe it?
38:49I don't know.
38:51It's always very personal with Anacostia.
38:55Maybe.
38:56Stay the course.
38:58But be careful.
38:59Well, she's Army.
39:00You can never really trust them.
39:07Kalita.
39:09Have you seen your brother?
39:11It's my brother that I want to talk about.
39:14Sure.
39:15I'm going to my room if you want to talk there.
39:17This will only take a moment.
39:19I've agreed to let Adele stay here while I search for a home for our people.
39:23Oh.
39:24Good.
39:26I think he really likes it here.
39:27I'm grateful to you, Abigail.
39:31And I don't want you to get hurt.
39:33But you have to understand that this is not a permanent situation.
39:38In the end, my brother will always choose his people.
39:43Just as you will always choose yours.
39:58Okay, to truly understand the Army and our place in the world, you have to know our history.
40:05And knowing is one of the four principles, right?
40:09Oh, we are going to have you ready for basic in no time.
40:13So, where do we start?
40:15At the very beginning, with Sarah Alder herself.
40:20Is she really 300 years old?
40:21Oh, she is.
40:22More than, in fact.
40:24My dad says that's why he doesn't trust her.
40:27He thinks that someone who lives that long couldn't really care about regular people.
40:33Sorry.
40:36It's okay.
40:39A lot of people feel that way about her.
40:42I didn't always trust her myself.
40:54Telly, what is it?
40:57There's something wrong with this photo.
41:00What do you mean?
41:01Some sort of working's been used on it.
41:07Do you...
41:09Do you see a...
41:10A person there?
41:13No.
41:15There's no one there.
41:19It's her.
41:22She's real.
41:27Someone's trying to hide her existence.
41:53Someone's trying to hide her existence.
41:54Anyone else.
41:55Should we look at it?
41:56She's real.
41:58Email her.
42:01She's real.
42:02She's not a critic.
42:02I'm not a critic.
42:03She's not a critic.
42:04She's not a critic.
42:05She's not a Democrat.
42:05She's not a critic.
