TVTranscript
00:01Previously on Motherland
00:02We learned about the Camarilla using hearing tests to identify witches.
00:06Versadi'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?
00:25I heard she was.
00:26Fighting alongside a soldier named Batam.
00:28I blame Adele for the death of the dream.
00:30That's why he didn't stay.
00:31Your daughters will be safe with us.
00:34Not our daughters. Not 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.
00:46No more lies.
00:47Who is Nick to Batam?
01:00India, unlike the United States, can provide complete autonomy for the Tanim people, should you decide to settle here.
01:08Oh, plus we have excellent food. Have you tried the Nankadai?
01:12Go on. Finish 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 Shama?
01:36Of course not.
01:45General!
02:35The
03:40Where did you hear about Nykta Batan?
03:45I know she personally served under you in Liberia during the martyrdom, and that messed her up.
03:51I wasn't in Liberia at the time, cadet.
03:54You can redact photographs and edit history books.
03:57All you want, General.
04:00But I know you were there with her.
04:11The loss of Estabrook and her rebels is one of my deepest regrets.
04:16And as Liberia devolved into chaos, I deemed it more prudent to obscure my direct involvement.
04:21So why cover up Nykta?
04:23She 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.
04:47For 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.
05:18I'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.
05:41I heard what happened at the testing center.
05:42Is Bellwether okay?
05:44Yeah, 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 right.
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 site 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.
06:25It doesn't matter.
06:27Is that as much of an answer as you're going to give me?
06:30As much as I can, yes.
06:33Said more than I should, actually.
06:36How did she get this?
06:43Sorry, caller.
06:45Really wish I could help.
06:50Hi, Bonnie.
06:52It's Justine.
06:53I was just wondering about this Halloween party.
06:56Are we supposed to wear costumes?
06:58Oh, sorry.
07:05Jonas, wait.
07:06Okay, great.
07:07See 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.
07:14The 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?
07:28What 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.
08:03And there are things worth living for.
08:06There's always a choice.
08:09There'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.
08:55Except 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?
09:13Because you weren't stupid enough to walk into their trap.
09:25I still can't get the stuff as Adora gave me out of my mouth.
09:28Well, at least you can get a good night's sleep, right?
09:32I 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.
09:44Well, 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 salads.
10:06Dessert first.
10:08Well, what about the black chairs?
10:10For the dead to join in.
10:11As if the dead actually care about bad wine and squash casserole.
10:15They're dead.
10:15They don't care about anything.
10:19How 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,
10:35doing great.
10:35Uh, no, I was...
10:38I was talking about India.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:45I thought you'd heard.
10:48There was a Camarilla attack on a government train.
10:52That's where Adil went, right?
10:55Goodbye.
10:56Babs?
10:57Abigail?
10:58It's all for the news.
11:01General's room is dead.
11:08It's never gonna stop.
11:15Isidore is on her way to collect samples and survey the damage from the plague attack in person.
11:20Has there been any word from the turret?
11:22Search and rescue teams are looking into it, General.
11:25To make matters worse, the Indian military has placed public blame on the Camarilla.
11:34So 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.
12:01He's postponing our testing center rollouts until further notice.
12:05Apparently some states are balking at sending their daughters for testing Lestes-Free
12:10attack them on their way into the building.
12:13Have you briefed President Wade about what happened in India?
12:17Apparently she's still under the weather.
12:21But please, get the Vice President up to speed.
12:25His 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 fine.
12:39I'm gonna have to borrow Amelia's jumpsuit.
12:41Oh, we share clothes now?
12:43Yes.
12:43I'm gonna need that coat, too.
12:46You look amazing yourself.
12:48Hi!
12:49Oh, hey!
12:52Trick-or-treat, Justine!
12:54Oh, I'm sorry.
12:55I don't have any candy.
12:56All I have are witch fingers.
12:58What are witch fingers?
13:02You ladies clean up nice?
13:06You all ready?
13:07Bonnie, you're not coming?
13:09No, I'm gonna take Brianna trick-or-treating.
13:12Mom duties.
13:14Mommy, can Tiffany come with us?
13:17Tiffany's still on vacation, honey.
13:19Remember?
13:20Only one block, okay?
13:22Yep.
13:24Shall we?
13:27You guys have fun!
13:39You're better than this cadet.
13:41Focus!
13:45I think we should go home with Abigail for fall break.
13:49Yep, at this point, do you see me with us?
14:01Sing for us.
14:03Sing.
14:03Won't you?
14:04No!
14:06Bellwether, let's go.
14:12Abigail, leave her top, sir.
14:17Where is she going?
14:24Abby?
14:26Abs, maybe you should sit down.
14:29I'm fine.
14:30He ran out of hand-to-hand.
14:32I've been attacked by the Camarilla twice.
14:36They 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.
14:57You can't think like that.
14:58We have fought them off before, and we'll keep doing it for as long as it takes.
15:11What's going on?
15:48We saw when it begins.
15:51We saw when it begins.
16:21Samhain tradition, cadets.
16:24For the veil is thin.
16:27And tonight...
16:30We wake the dead, as our ancestors have done for centuries.
16:35This, cadets, is the defending of the hearth.
16:41It's a pre-Sawain ritual here at War College.
16:44Anyone heard of the Lost Regiment?
16:48The French and Indian War?
16:50Specifically, the Battle of Lutut.
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.
17:15The enemy's attack was swift and brutal, and none survived.
17:23Every Samhain since, the regiment wanders these very woods, desperate to extinguish the flame.
17:33It'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.
17:52I don't have time for games.
17:54Earlier, you said the dead don't care.
17:57What if this way we can find out?
18:22We can't use any work.
18:24Then we'll improvise.
18:26Ladies, if tonight goes well, we'll be set.
18:32These people, they're on another level.
18:35But Camarilla, they take care of their own.
18:40Investment funds, private schools, real estate.
18:44Plenty 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.
18:52Bonnie'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?
19:35We'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.
20:03That's true.
20:05What about you?
20:08Velda Esterbrook.
20:09The martyr?
20:11Leader of the Librarian Front, yeah.
20:14You're going to burn your sound on someone you've never even met?
20:18I need answers.
20:19Are you better to ask than one of the only other people who were there?
20:25Gray?
20:26I need to talk to my mom.
20:30I don't think I've ever needed anything more.
20:34Visibility is low.
20:35Trust your ears.
20:36You won't see the arrows until they're within a few yards of the hearth.
20:39But when you do, do what I just did.
20:45Scourge, Windshear, whatever you can.
20:47Just one arrow douses the flame.
20:49And whatever you do, don't get hit.
20:54Incoming!
21:24Ladies and gentlemen, may I have you?
21:25I 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.
21:33But I've asked the staff to arrive a little bit later tonight so that we can start this party with
21:39a bang.
21:42Allow 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.
22:30Caller, we need a fixer.
22:33Caller, we need a fixer.
22:35Caller, get over here.
22:36Caller, get over here.
22:38Caller!
22:42Caller, get over here.
22:45Caller, get over here.

30:46You
30:47You don't know me
30:50Dolly Craven
30:52United States military
30:54Time 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.
31:32You didn't fail me.
31:33You failed yourself.
31:50Why did you martyr yourself?
31:52Lies.
31:54You think I did this?
31:57My choice.
32:10My brothers and sisters, General Aldo's army is here.
32:17Yes.
32:18Yes.
32:20I had no choice.
32:22What does that end?
32:23I am.
32:25You've let yourself be victimized again and again and again.
32:31By the animals that slaughtered me.
32:34The Camarilla used you against me to throw me off balance.
32:37To try and take my voice.
32:39The enemy used your own insecurities against you.
32:43You complain about others not getting the job done that you should be getting done yourself.
32:49I'm a soldier.
32:50I can only do what I'm told.
32:52I thought that too.
32:54Then I got murdered.
33:00No!
33:02No!
33:03No!
33:05No!
33:05No!
33:07No!
33:08No!
33:13No!
33:19You need to stop worrying about being a soldier
33:22and start worrying about being a warrior.
33:26I just...
33:28I don't want to be afraid anymore.
33:30And get rid of that which terrifies you.
33:34What are you saying?
33:38You are Abigail Bellweather.
33:41The last of her nine.
33:43And you are vengeance.
34:08Mom?
34:20Mom, please.
34:32Mom?
34:34Mom?
34:51She didn't come.
34:56You know, I've gone over the conversation
35:00in my head
35:03so many times.
35:07And I thought about what I'd say to her
35:14and how I'd say it
35:15and what she'd say back
35:18and how she'd probably tell me I needed a haircut.
35:26Why didn't she come?
35:30Why didn't she want to talk to me?
35:34I don't know.
35:36Okay.
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.
36:03I get it.
36:04Please come, too.
36:07Charvel sent me straight.
36:09I need to get back to being me.
36:10I need to find the people who took her voice
36:12and get it back and bathe in their blood.
36:16I added that last part.
36:18Ah, how would you even find them?
36:20Where would you start?
36:22I 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,
36:28you're basically just offering yourself up.
36:30think about what you're saying.
36:34You're right.
36:36I am.
36:37Yeah, I guess I, uh...
36:39I was just excited because of Salen.
36:42Besides, I'm sure my mother won't let me out of her side
36:44the entire break, so...
36:49We were just talking about you.
36:54Oh.
37:02Mom, what is it?
37:03It's about a deal.
37:23Oh, thank God, is here 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.
37:44I was gonna stay with her,
37:45but 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.
37:56Hey, you made it out.
37:58That's what's important.
38:00All I could think about was you.
38:03Look, I know they've come for your family before.
38:07And they tried again.
38:12Being hunted gives you a unique perspective on survival.
38:17Doesn't it?
38:18Time to make them feel hunted.
38:21And we start with the one who killed Sherpa.
38:30You want breakfast?
38:31I just dropped off Brandon at school.
38:34Didn't draw on that 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,
39:14it's just one less witch in the world.
39:20Not our daughters.
39:24Not our daughters.
39:27Not our daughters.
39:36I don't know.
40:00Not our daughters.
40:18Justine, 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?
40:24I can't today, I'm sorry.
40:25Next time.
40:28Bonnie?
40:32Find something to live for.
40:35Something that's beautiful and real.
40:40Like your daughter.
40:42Otherwise, hate is going to eat you whole.
40:46Oh, my God.
40:46Oh, my God.
