00:01Previously on Motherland
00:02We learned about the Camarilla using hearing tests to identify witches.
00:06Arsari's on the move.
00:07Hopefully toward a higher up in the Camarilla.
00:09Kalida will be touring some of the other council nations.
00:12General Sharma has offered her protection.
00:14There have been reports of more outbreaks of that disease they created.
00:17Esther broke and her witches refused conscription.
00:20So they martyred themselves.
00:21Why isn't General Alder a bigger part of that story?
00:23She wasn't there when the martyrdom occurred.
00:24I heard she was.
00:25Fighting alongside a soldier named Batam.
00:27I blamed Adele for the death of the tree.
00:30That's why he didn't stay.
00:31Your daughters will be safe with us.
00:34Not our daughters.
00:36Not our daughters.
00:37Do you really think of Priscilla?
00:39I'd know those eyes anywhere.
00:41The Camarilla came for me, but I couldn't do a damn thing about it.
00:45No more lies.
00:47Who is Nick de Batam?
01:00India, unlike the United States, can provide complete autonomy for the Dineen people should you decide to settle here.
01:08Oh, plus we have excellent food.
01:11Have you tried the Nankadai?
01:12Go on.
01:14Finish your proposition.
01:17That is the proposition.
01:19You forgot the part regarding what you expect us to give to you.
01:26Kalita, I had hoped you thought better of us.
01:29I think what my sister's trying to say is that we know how militarized nations work.
01:33Do I seem naive, General Sharma?
01:36Of course not.
01:44General!
02:08I think we've been 15 years old.
02:11It's a terrible place.
02:12No!
02:14No!
02:15No!
02:19It's a terrible place.
02:19It's like we're creating our dirty roads.
02:19No!
02:19No!
03:21Do you like civilian music?
03:25I enjoy it immensely.
03:31Please, sit.
03:40Where did you hear about Nycta Batan?
03:44I know she personally served under you in Liberia during the martyrdom, and that messed her up.
03:50I wasn't in Liberia at the time, Cadet.
03:54You can redact photographs and edit history books.
03:57All you want, General.
03:59But I know you were there with her.
04:11The loss of Estabrook and her rebels is one of my deepest regrets.
04:15And as Liberia devolved into chaos, I deemed it more prudent to obscure my direct involvement.
04:21So why cover up Nycta?
04:22She deserted shortly after witnessing what Estabrook and her followers did to themselves.
04:28I consider that an even deeper moment of personal failure.
04:32So hiding her away is just to protect your pride?
04:41We all have our prideful failings.
04:46For instance, your belief that you can barge in here, in the dead of the night no less,
04:54to make accusations of conspiracy and nefarious intent against me.
05:02I just wanted answers.
05:04And what makes you think you are owed any?
05:07We are connected.
05:10That time has passed.
05:12Then why have I been seeing these memories?
05:15Ever since the surgery, I thought they were dreams at first.
05:17I'll have Isadora give you something to make sure that the connection is well and truly severed.
05:23Dismissed.
05:33Work on those scenes, privates.
05:35Everything gets real after the break.
05:40I heard what happened at the testing center.
05:42Is Bellwether okay?
05:43Yeah, her mom's checking on her now.
05:47Did you know that Scylla escaped from custody?
05:51Why would I know anything about that?
05:53Maybe because you're the last soldier to see her before she was allegedly shipped off to jail.
05:58And before you tried to get me off this, I saw her.
06:02At the riot.
06:04Where I found this.
06:06So unless this is another spree agent trying to screw with my head...
06:09We are aware that Bramshorn is no longer in custody.
06:12And yes, she was on Scylla yesterday.
06:16And how long have we known that she's on the loose?
06:20So long as it benefits the military, and in this case, it does.
06:24It doesn't matter.
06:27Is that as much of an answer as you're going to give me?
06:30Yes, as much as I can, yes.
06:33Said more than I should, actually.
06:36How did she get this?
06:43Sorry, caller.
06:44Really wish I could help.
06:50Hi, Bonnie.
06:51It's Justine.
06:53I was just wondering about this Halloween party.
06:56Are we supposed to wear costumes, or...?
07:05Jonas, wait.
07:06Okay, great. See you Saturday.
07:08Jonas, it's a suicide mission.
07:10You don't need to do this.
07:12You think I don't know that?
07:13I need you here. The Camarilla are picking us off.
07:16I'm not here for the Camarilla.
07:18I'm here to change things so that our people can stop fighting their wars.
07:21Is any of that sounding familiar?
07:22You think throwing your life away is going to change that?
07:27Ah, what happened to you?
07:31You know, out of everyone, I thought you'd understand.
07:34You used to be a wild animal.
07:36Now you're just soft, ineffective, comfortable, weak.
07:49Move.
07:57You're not weak.
08:00There are things worth dying for, and there are things worth living for.
08:06There's always a choice.
08:27You're up.
08:29Did you get them?
08:32We're looking for the Camarilla that escaped.
08:34Look harder.
08:37You think we aren't?
08:38You and Alder told everyone it was the spree.
08:41But it wasn't the spree that attacked me.
08:43It wasn't the spree that tried to cut out my throat.
08:45It was the Camarilla.
08:49They came after me just like they did Charvel.
08:56Except you survived.
09:00Maybe I shouldn't have.
09:04Excuse me?
09:05I wouldn't expect you to understand.
09:08Oh.
09:09And why not?
09:12Because you weren't stupid enough to walk into their trap.
09:25I still can't get the stuff that Dora gave me out of my mouth.
09:28Well, at least you can get a good night's sleep, right?
09:31I guess.
09:33You know, part of me didn't want to take it.
09:36Another part just desperately wanted peace from all of this.
09:40Either way, Alder isn't telling the whole truth.
09:43Well, do you know that for sure?
09:45I saw what happened, Ray.
09:47She wasn't surprised when they killed themselves.
09:50She was...
09:53Satisfied.
09:56What's with the tables?
09:59Oh, it's for the dump supper tonight.
10:01A what?
10:02A salad.
10:03You eat the meal backwards in complete silence.
10:06Dessert first.
10:08Well, what about the black chairs?
10:09For the dead to join in.
10:11As if the dead actually care about bad wine and squash casserole.
10:14They're dead.
10:15They don't care about anything.
10:18How did you celebrate that one on the session?
10:22Uh, my mom wasn't really that into it.
10:25We'd light a candle to honor the dead,
10:27and then she'd just let me go trick-or-treating.
10:30How you doing, Belcher?
10:32Considering I almost got my throat cut out again, doing great.
10:36Uh, no, I was...
10:39I was talking about India.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:45I thought you heard.
10:48There was a Camarilla attack on a government train.
10:52That's where a deal went, right?
10:55Goodbye.
10:56Paps?
10:57Abigail?
10:58It's all over the news.
11:00General Jerome is dead.
11:08It's never gonna stop.
11:15Isadora's on her way to collect samples and survey the damage from the plague attack in person.
11:19Has there been any word from the turret?
11:22Search and rescue teams are looking into it, General.
11:24To make matters worse, the Indian military has placed public blame on the Camarilla.
11:33So much for the Hague agreeing to keep things quiet.
11:36It's only a matter of time.
11:43What about here at home?
11:45We've got more ground to cover.
11:46But now that we have these tapes, the Camarilla can no longer hunt for our kind in schools.
11:55I just got off the phone with Silver.
12:00He's postponing our testing center rollouts until further notice.
12:05Apparently, some states are balking at sending their daughters for testing less to Spree,
12:10attack them on their way into the building.
12:12Have you briefed President Wade about what happened in India?
12:17Apparently, she's still under the weather.
12:20But please, get the Vice President up to speed.
12:24His daughter is one of ours.
12:27And we'll take whatever allies we can get.
12:32Ah, civilians and their mysterious customs.
12:36I think it looks fun.
12:39I'm going to have to borrow Amelia's jumpsuit.
12:41Oh, we share clothes now?
12:42Yes.
12:43I'm going to need that coat, too.
12:45You look amazing yourself.
12:48Hi.
12:49Oh, hey.
12:52Trick or treat, Justine.
12:54Oh, I'm sorry.
12:54I don't have any candy.
12:56All I have are witch fingers.
12:58What are witch fingers?
12:59Oh, ah, ah, ah!
13:02You ladies clean up nice?
13:05You all ready?
13:07Bonnie, you're not coming?
13:09No, I'm going to take Brianna trick-or-treating.
13:12Mom duties.
13:14Mommy, can Tiffany come with us?
13:17Tiffany's still on vacation, honey, remember?
13:20Only one block, okay?
13:22Yep.
13:24Shall we?
13:27You guys have fun.
13:38You're better than this cadet.
13:41Focus!
13:45I think we should go home with Abigail for fall break.
13:49Yeah, but at this point, do you think she will eat us?
14:01Sing for us.
14:02Sing for us.
14:03Won't you?
14:05Bellwether, let's go.
14:11Abigail lives outside.
14:17Where is she going?
14:23Abby?
14:25Labs, maybe you should sit down.
14:28I'm fine.
14:30I'm fine.
14:30He ran out of hand to hand.
14:32I've been attacked by the Camarilla twice.
14:35They killed General Sharma and possibly a Dylan Kalita, so...
14:41I feel like we've moved beyond sparring now, no?
14:46Well, we were thinking maybe we should both come home with you for a break.
14:52You won't be safe there.
14:55We won't be safe anywhere.
14:56You can't think like that.
14:58We have fought them off before and we'll keep doing it for as long as it takes.
15:10What's going on?
15:49We saw when it begins.
16:21Samhain tradition, cadets.
16:24For the veil is thin.
16:26And tonight...
16:30We wake the dead, as our ancestors have done for centuries.
16:36This, cadets, is the defending of the hearth.
16:41It's a pre-Sawen ritual here at War College.
16:44Anyone heard of the Lost Regiment?
16:47The French and Indian War?
16:49Specifically, the Battle of Latouk.
16:54Commodore Hastings and her troops were sequestered deep in the forest during winter.
17:00They couldn't light a fire without giving away their location.
17:03But when temps dropped too low, they couldn't resist.
17:07They decided to light one.
17:11Just one fire.
17:13And it proved fatal.
17:16The enemy's attack was swift and brutal.
17:20And none survived.
17:23Every Samhain since...
17:25The regiment wanders these very woods, desperate to extinguish the flame.
17:32It's our job to stop them and keep the fire burning until the last stroke of midnight.
17:41What happens if you win?
17:45You get to speak to the dead witch of your choosing.
17:48From the Lost Regiment?
17:50From anywhere.
17:51I don't have time for games.
17:54Earlier, you said the dead don't care.
17:56What if this way we can find out?
18:22We can't use any work.
18:24Then we'll improvise.
18:27Ladies, if tonight goes well, we'll be set.
18:32These people, they're on another level.
18:35Like Camarilla.
18:37They take care of their own.
18:39Investment funds, private schools, real estate.
18:43Plenty of cops and judges in their pocket.
18:46Thanks for including us.
18:48It's too bad Bonnie's missing out on all this.
18:50No.
18:51Bonnie's not cut out for this.
18:53Too weak.
18:55But I feel like you ladies will do what it takes to bring about a world with no witches.
19:00Light them up.
19:01I have a lighter.
19:10It's not a lot of familiar faces from the movement here.
19:13How'd you get on the list?
19:15I did provide a little gift.
19:16What kind of gift?
19:19You'll see soon enough.
19:22I'll see you in there.
19:30If everyone's wearing a mask, how are you going to take the Exarch's face?
19:34We'll improvise, huh?
19:52If you make it to midnight, who are you going to talk to?
19:56The upside of being last in my line is that there's no shortage of people to talk to on a
20:00night like tonight.
20:02Sorry.
20:03It's true.
20:05I don't know about you.
20:08Velda Esterbork.
20:09The martyr?
20:10Leader of the Librarian Front, yeah.
20:13You're going to burn your sound on someone you've never even met?
20:17I need answers.
20:19You better to ask than one of the only other people who were there.
20:25Gray.
20:26The need to talk to my mom.
20:30I don't think I've ever needed anything more.
20:34Visibility is low, trust your ears.
20:36You won't see the arrows until they're within a few yards of the hearth, but when you do,
20:42do what I just did, Scourge, Windshear, whatever you can, just one arrow douses the flame, and whatever you do,
20:50don't get hit.
20:53It's coming!
20:55It's coming!
20:57It's coming!
21:24Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention?
21:26The Exarch's that cop from the testing center.
21:28Guess we found our mark.
21:30Yeah, now we just had to figure out how to get close to him.
21:32But I've asked the staff to arrive a little bit later tonight so that we can start this party with
21:39a bang.
21:41Allow me to begin by saying what an honor it is to have you all here on this special night.
21:51Special.
21:52Because tonight we will be reinstating a long-held ritual performed by our ancestors on All Hallows' Eve.
22:09We just have to make it to midnight.
22:11They're not going to make that easy.
22:25Tell me!
22:27Clevario!
22:28Pull!
22:31Call her! We need a fixer!
22:33Call her! We need a fixer!
22:34Charlie, get over here!
22:36Go, go.
22:38You're able to see you.

26:35My name is not Justine
26:38Ignorant rat carcass
26:41Exarch, I don't know what she's talking about
26:43Not only am I a witch
26:46I am the Spree
26:49And I've killed thousands of civilians
26:51And I enjoyed it
26:55Every single time
26:58Perfect
27:01The little one can watch
27:03While we deal with you
27:06Unlike her
27:07Your vocal cords
27:09Are perfectly ripe for harvest
27:18Check or treat
27:20Stay in principally
27:34Fuck
27:38Oh, my God.
28:06Yeah.
28:37How long do we have?
28:38Until the candle burns out.
28:43That doesn't seem long enough.
28:45It never is.
28:51I'll tell Libby you said hi.
28:54I'll give her my best.
28:59You all right?
29:01Yeah, I just...
29:04There's so many things I could ask her about, you know?
29:06Like the last thing she said to me before she left,
29:10or the letters she left me.
29:12It's just I don't even know where to start.
29:17You'll know when you see her.
29:29Oh, my God.
29:50Willa Collin, Belter, Astor Park.
29:53Charvel, Bellwether.
30:30Charvel, Bellwether.
30:46You don't know me, Tally Craven, United States military.
30:54The time is shot conscripted.
31:02Char?
31:15Char, is that you?
31:16You're a failure.
31:22I know.
31:24I should have been there to save you.
31:27I live with it every day.
31:30And it's just this pain.
31:31You didn't fail me.
31:33You failed yourself.
31:49Why did you martyr yourself?
31:51Lies.
31:54You think I did this?
31:57My choice.
32:10My brothers and sisters, General Aldo's army is here.
32:17We are surrounded.
32:20I had no choice.
32:22What does that end up?
32:26You've let yourself be victimized again and again and again by the animals that slaughtered me.
32:34The Camarilla used you against me to throw me off balance, to try and take my voice.
32:39The enemy used your own insecurities against you.
32:42You complain about others not getting the job done like you should be getting done yourself.
32:48I'm a soldier.
32:50I can only do what I'm told.
32:52I thought that too.
32:54Then I got murdered.
33:01No!
33:02No!
33:04No!
33:05No!
33:05No!
33:06No!
33:19You need to stop worrying about being a soldier and start worrying about being a warrior.
33:26I just...
33:28I don't want to be afraid anymore.
33:30Then get rid of that which terrifies you.
33:34What are you saying?
33:38You are Abigail Bellwether, the last of her mind, and you are vengeance.
34:08Mom?
34:13Mom?
34:20Mom, please.
34:51She didn't come.
34:56You know, I've gone over the conversation in my head so many times.
35:07And I thought about what I'd say to her, and how I'd say it, and what she'd say back, and
35:18how she'd probably tell me I needed a haircut.
35:25Why didn't she come?
35:30Why didn't she want to talk to me?
35:34I don't know.
35:36Ray.
35:42I need to go back for a break.
35:45I need to see my dad.
35:59Okay, so I know we said we would go home with you, but...
36:02No, believe me. I get it.
36:04Please come too.
36:07Charvel sent me straight. I need to get back to being me. I need to find the people who took
36:11her voice and get it back and bathe in their blood.
36:16I added that last part.
36:18Ah, how would you even find them? Where would you start?
36:21I haven't gotten to that part yet.
36:24Why are you looking at me like that?
36:26Because even if you do manage to find them, you're basically just offering yourself up.
36:29Think about what you're saying.
36:34You're right.
36:35I am.
36:37Yeah, I guess.
36:38I, uh, I was just excited because of Salen.
36:42Besides, I'm sure my mother won't let me out of her side the entire break, so...
36:49We were just talking about you.
36:54Oh.
37:02Mom, what is it?
37:03It's about a deal.
37:17Oh, thank God, is he okay?
37:26When I heard about the train, I...
37:28Kalita and I were the only survivors.
37:33It's good to see you, Tim.
37:35Uh, where is she?
37:38Um, she'll hate it, but I'll give her a hug, too.
37:41No, she's still with the Hague.
37:43I was gonna stay with her, but she could tell how much I needed to see you.
37:49I'm so glad you're here.
37:53I haven't stopped shaking since India.
37:55Hey, you made it out.
37:58That's what's important.
37:59All I could think about was you.
38:03Look, I know they've come for your family before.
38:06And they tried again.
38:12Being hunted gives you a unique perspective on survival.
38:16Doesn't it?
38:18Time to make them feel hunted.
38:21And we start with the one who killed Sherville.
38:30You want breakfast?
38:31I just dropped off Brandon at school.
38:34Didn't draw on a little extra ham.
38:42She forgot her favorite pencil.
38:49Are you sure that's all you want?
38:56Well, now that you mention it.
39:00You know, Tiffany's still not in school.
39:06You don't think something bad happened to her, do you?
39:08Of course not.
39:10And anyway, we talked about this bond.
39:12Even if something bad did happen, it's just one less witch in the world.
39:19Not our daughters.
39:24Not our daughters.
39:27Not our daughters.
39:37I don't know.
40:00Not our daughters.
40:17Justine, I didn't know you were coming over today.
40:20Uh, yeah, I was just dropping something off for Shane.
40:22Have a coffee with me?
40:23I can't today, I'm sorry.
40:25Next time.
40:28Bonnie?
40:32Find something to live for.
40:35Something that's beautiful and real.
40:39Like your daughter.
40:42Otherwise, hate is going to eat you whole.
41:00Wow.
