00:01Previously on Motherland, the mycelium has taken her to heel.
00:03I keep sending it so that she'll know that I'm looking for her and that I'll never give up.
00:08We're in this together.
00:09To get to Riel, I need to tap into the mycelium.
00:12It is sweet how much you love her.
00:13It has made you weak.
00:14Riel kept me alive.
00:16Prepare the operating room.
00:17Consider yourself lucky to be making such a great contribution.
00:20But I know you will always be by our side.
00:22We're sisters now.
00:23How are you here?
00:24The mother, you brought me back.
00:26The Camarilla are searching for the first song too.
00:28Darling!
00:28Explain to me just how long you thought you could elude us on our own land.
00:32It doesn't look like a jail.
00:34I hope you all enjoy your stay.
00:36Move my address to the nation to tonight.
00:39You're live.
00:39Captain Corner needs to check in.
00:41The breach has occurred.
00:56I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and I
01:03will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
01:11Mr. President.
01:12Mr. President.
01:20Congratulations, Mr. President.
01:22Oh, thank you.
01:23Let's get to work, shall we?
01:24Mm-hmm.
01:44This will be a closed casket.
03:00I thought I had the right seed.
03:01I was sure I'd get a sign.
03:05She is all right.
03:06We'll find her.
03:08We just have to trust that if Alder can come back, Raelle can too.
03:12I'm sorry, did you say Alder?
03:14Oh, yeah.
03:16Turns out Alder's alive.
03:18And scouring the earth looking for some kind of first song.
03:21What's a first song?
03:23I'm not totally sure, but Talia's a piece of it in her pocket.
03:27You sure it was Alder, not someone wearing her face?
03:29Positive.
03:30She's different, though.
03:39And Acostia's been out of contact for too long.
03:41Where are we on combing the surveillance footage?
03:4385% complete.
03:45Still no sign of Captain Quartermain or Woodlot.
03:47I want fetches placed on every one of Silver's cabinet members.
03:51One of them must know something.
03:53Mycelium's being poisoned.
03:55The president was just assassinated.
03:56My head of intelligence is AWOL.
03:58I need answers.
03:59Now.
04:00General Bellwether.
04:01Happy to hear the urgency.
04:04The sooner we find those responsible for President Wade's tragic death, the better.
04:09Sources tell me there's evidence of the witch bomb.
04:11It's too soon to tell.
04:13We're still analyzing the bomb site, Mr. President.
04:16Care to introduce me to your companions?
04:18I didn't realize we were getting new uniforms.
04:21Oh.
04:21The witches won't be getting new uniforms.
04:24These people are part of your new civilian oversight.
04:27My what?
04:28Yeah, they'll be on base to help reassure the American people that things are running smoothly
04:31during the transition.
04:33Meet your personal oversight.
04:35Colonel Jarrett.
04:37Colonel.
04:41I'm always happy to work with patriots.
04:44Witch or non-witch.
04:47I'm so pleased to hear you say that.
05:02I'm so pleased to hear you say that.
05:11Come on, Ria.
05:13Give me something.
05:48Real?
06:10Oh, beautiful for spacious skies.
06:18What a night, folks, am I right?
06:21For amber waves of grain.
06:30So glad you all could make it.
06:33For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.
06:47America, America, our America.
07:00And the dawn will be glorious upon the earth.
07:06Now, before we introduce the new leader of the free world, let's get to the entertainment.
07:15Our amuse-bouche.
07:22Our first course.
07:27And finally, our savory entree.
07:38I'll give them something to stare at.
07:47That's not regular glass.
07:48Yeah, I got it.
07:51It's to the death of the night, everybody.
07:57And now, for the man of the hour, the one you've all been waiting for, the raison d'être for
08:03this inaugural event, your new president.
08:30We've got to get out of here.
08:31Okay, point ambush.
08:33Next time the marshal makes his rounds.
08:35You're assuming there'll be a next time?
08:36No, he'll be back.
08:38What does he want, though?
08:40What is this, the goat?
08:42Tali, we're prisoners.
08:43Who cares about the goat?
08:48General Bellwether, come in.
08:54You are more than welcome to join us, Colonel Jarrett.
08:58But I should warn you that there are frequencies of sound in here that could alter certain organs of yours.
09:05Perhaps you'd prefer to join my oversight in the hallway.
09:08Would either of you like a chair?
09:11We'll stand.
09:17Oh, I thought I'd never get rid of him.
09:19I know you need to get out of space, but let me show you something before you go.
09:30Penelope, dear?
09:32Come say hello.
09:36Hello.
09:47Remarkable.
09:50How did you do this?
09:52May I have a glass of milk?
09:57She was infected with a different strain of witch plague, designed to keep her alive as a host, so she
10:04could spread it throughout the base.
10:06What the Camarilla didn't account for is that it worked a little too well.
10:11It allowed her to remain alive, in a sense.
10:15In the atmosphere, riding the humidity fully sentient, I was able to reconstitute her.
10:29So, she's human?
10:33Essentially.
10:34And becoming more so every day.
10:37If we can unveil her soon, we can move towards exonerating my daughter's unit.
10:43We're not there yet.
10:45As you can see.
10:46But I'm thirsty!
10:48She still has violent impulses.
10:50Hence the mittens.
10:53But we're learning to control those.
10:56Aren't we, Penelope?
11:16Our work relationship was getting tense.
11:18Both of us always having to fake it.
11:23It's better this way.
11:24Now we can both be real.
11:26You want to talk about real?
11:30You killed your own daughter for this freak show.
11:33I didn't kill my daughter.
11:36That was your beloved bellwether unit.
11:39Wasn't it?
11:40Well, enjoy the party.
11:46You had a luncheon at the governor of George's house.
11:51Penelope was only four, but it was her idea.
11:54She wanted those train wheels off.
11:56It only took her one afternoon to learn,
11:58because she was so insistent that she'd be able to show you by the time your luncheon.
12:03And I can still see her riding circles in the driveway, calling out,
12:07Look at me, Daddy!
12:09So now I'm asking you.
12:12Look at me.
12:19Lantan?
12:22There are a couple of exarchs that I would love to introduce you to
12:26before you head to your other parties.
12:38Of course.
12:39Good.
12:40Yeah.
13:00That storm and fury felt more like a baby's cough
13:19Go to bed
13:29Whatever that work was, it hit me hard
13:32Same, I could barely get out of bed
13:38Rise and shine, sleepyheads
13:43Everybody okay?
13:46Y'all been busy, even made the front page of the trip
13:51What?
13:54President Wade was assassinated?
13:56Killed by something called a witch bomb
13:59Real caller, is it?
14:01Anybody care to tell me where she is?
14:03Brielle?
14:05It's not in the United States
14:07Maybe it was her
14:10Been looking for a sign she's alive, you get one, you don't believe it?
14:13She wouldn't assassinate President Wade
14:15Yeah, and besides they're saying Tally and I were there too and you know that we weren't
14:19Yeah right, you're all too busy running around the session blowing up chemical plants
14:24Here's the thing
14:26Council of the Great River is interested in meeting you
14:29That's why I brought you here
14:30Great, where are they?
14:33They'll be here after Yule
14:34After we all eat, drink and be married together
14:37The goat
14:39I completely forgot Yule was coming
14:41It was a gesture of trust
14:43I'll move the wardings to the outward grounds
14:46Let you roam around, get some fresh air
14:49Why would you do that?
14:50Because I'm a generous man during the holidays
14:54Also, I'm gonna need some help moving that Yule log in
14:58That thing gets heavier every year
15:03Need a refill
15:07I don't trust him
15:08We don't have a choice
15:09He's the only one who can tell the council we're innocent
15:11The council may be more concerned with the fact that we're on their land illegally
15:15They should be concerned that the Camarilla are here
15:17You spent more time in the session than the two of us, what do you think?
15:20From what I remember and from what Rael's told me, the council's known to be fair
15:24So we just need to make them believe us
15:27Make them our allies
15:29Good luck with that
15:30You have a better idea?
15:33Maybe
15:38Once a terrorist, always a terrorist
15:53Well, that was an embarrassing intro
15:56Sounds like you haven't found your voice yet, Albie
16:00Or maybe you're just going through puberty again
16:02It's merely a work in progress which I'll harness soon enough
16:06Let's hope so
16:09It would be a shame if you mutilated yourself just to be embarrassed by a bunch of little girls
16:16Again!
16:17That won't happen
16:18Oh!
16:19Such confidence!
16:27Mom and Dad would be proud
16:31Actually, I take that back
16:33Mom and Dad would probably be horrified just like they were with all your other little experiments
16:41Whatever did happen to all the dogs in our neighborhood?
16:46Anyway, the company is starting to think that your time with us is coming to an end, wasting money on
16:54your pet project
16:55I'm sure
16:56You'll prove them wrong
16:59Don't you?
17:04No!
17:13No!
17:20Look at me!
17:21Oh, no!
17:29dirt
17:34What's that?
17:35It is time.
17:43I'm ready.
17:44I'll go say goodbye to Adele.
18:01Thank you for keeping this.
18:03Where are you taking Kalita?
18:05She'll be safe with the other stewards once I find them all.
18:07I know you have this mission, but stay here.
18:10We meet the council and you can help explain everything to them.
18:13I can't do that.
18:17At least tell me how the song heals the world.
18:21And we'll heal Raelle too.
18:25I'm sorry, Tally Creek.
18:27I don't know.
18:29That's the first time you've said my name.
18:33Tell me something.
18:36Please.
18:47We must trust the mother.
19:14You don't seem surprised to see me.
19:17Oh, I knew that the esteemed General Alder would never go off and do something as pedestrian as dying.
19:26I was sorry to hear about your beauties, though.
19:30They all made great sacrifices.
19:33And I appreciate that you shared out working with me almost 400 years ago.
19:38Well, great work runs its course.
19:42Like great witches.
19:45Witches.
19:46Witches, just a word they call us.
19:52I assume you're here for the little one.
20:00And this.
20:02Oh, Elaine.
20:04A song was stolen from one of your people.
20:07Well, plenty of things have been stolen from my people.
20:09This is of an even older lineage.
20:12And I need to find its rightful steward.
20:14Their life is in danger.
20:16Will you help me?
20:29Do you know whose song this is?
20:32Do you know whose song this is?
20:36We just searched half the session trying to find you, and now you're leaving with Alder?
20:40I don't expect you to understand.
20:43But I do expect you to honor my decision.
20:47I always honor your decisions.
20:50But we're family.
20:53Us.
20:54And Abigail.
20:56And my leaving doesn't change that.
20:59Please trust that I know what's best.
21:02We will see each other again.
21:15If you need me or you're in danger.
21:20Use this.
21:45I don't think we should tell Nikta that Alder was here.
21:50Agree.
21:51Tao, hmm?
21:52Did you hear me?
21:53Yeah, fine.
21:54We won't tell her.
21:56Are you okay?
21:58My sight needs to get better.
22:00I need to see further.
22:02See more.
22:03If I can see Ray, then...
22:13Oh, thank God it's you're okay.
22:20President Wade was assassinated.
22:22I'm aware.
22:22Silver's in charge?
22:23What is going on?
22:24How could this happen?
22:25We need to do something.
22:26We need to fight back.
22:28Oh, that's exactly what I planned to do.
22:41Glad to refresh as needed.
22:43We knew the President was in danger,
22:46so Isadora created a golem,
22:47and we allowed the assassination to take place.
22:50And thanks to M's strategic timing
22:52and excellent work under pressure,
22:55they were able to sub the golem for me
22:57before the explosion.
22:59Just doing my job, ma'am.
23:01Hmm.
23:03Wait, where's Rael?
23:05Dead.
23:06She's not dead.
23:07She's healing in the mycelium.
23:10Probably dead.
23:11Excuse me, but who are you?
23:14Hi.
23:16I'm Louise.
23:18I'm the chef in this joint.
23:20How convenient.
23:22Perhaps you should get back to the kitchen, Louise.
23:23I hear a timer going off.
23:26General Bellwether.
23:32The plan for all of you is to stay here
23:34with President Wade
23:35under the protection of the Marshal and M
23:37and meet with the Council when they arrive.
23:39We need their support for what's ahead.
23:41Hopefully soon, all of you can come back.
23:43Speaking of people coming back,
23:46we have to tell her.
23:48Tell me what?
23:51Alder.
23:53She's back.
23:55Oh.
23:56I will have that refill now.
23:58What do you mean back?
24:00Where?
24:00She's off with Kalita looking for the first song.
24:03An all-powerful song that will change the world
24:05as we know it.
24:06The takeaway here is that she doesn't want her old job back.
24:10Okay.
24:12Well, speaking of jobs,
24:13I have to get back to Fort Salem.
24:15Wait, you weren't staying for Yule?
24:17I wish I could,
24:18but I've been gone too long already.
24:25Everything's going to be okay.
24:26Let President Wade do the talking with the Council.
24:48It's perfect timing.
24:49I need to sue.
24:50If I ever hear you say that Rial's dead again,
24:53you'll be the one to end up in a grave.
24:56You like when you're angry.
24:58You're stronger.
25:00This isn't anger, Nykta.
25:02This is love.
25:04And you're too lonely and miserable
25:05to even tell the difference.
25:30Nodon!
25:32You're alive!
25:33How do you know my name?
25:35The marshal told me where to find you.
25:40I thought maybe I was too late, but...
25:42It appears you've handled things on your own.
25:45You know these people?
25:47Why are they trying to kill me?
25:51Because you're a steward of the first song.
25:53What are you talking about?
25:56Your family song was stolen from you many years ago when you were only a child.
26:01I've come to return it.
26:02Please, listen.
26:15Mom, I know this song.
26:20It's been so long.
26:22It's yours.
26:24And the time will come soon for you to sing it once more.
26:30They tried to cut out my throat.
26:32That's why I'm here.
26:34I'll take you somewhere safe.
26:36Otherwise, they will come back until they succeed.
26:50There's no time to waste.
27:05I had a feeling you could whittle.
27:09I'm a quick learner.
27:14There.
27:15There.
27:19There.
27:19There.
27:22There.
27:34There.
27:35That's your sigil.
27:37Do you see anything?
27:43what's he supposed to see it's a game we played as kids trying to see visions of our futures in
27:51the smoke veil my mom used to laugh when i always said i saw new sneakers

32:24food was delicious
32:28Because they could really use your skills over at Fort Salem.
32:31I have a feeling I won't be invited back there anytime soon.
32:39I'm sorry about what I said in the kitchen.
32:42It was cruel.
32:46No.
32:48No, you're right.
32:50I am miserable.
32:52It's worse on you.
32:54Why's that?
32:56My mom dodged when I was five and left me with my grandma.
33:00The crankiest witch you have ever met.
33:06She told me that if my mom was ever going to come back, it would be on you.
33:11And that all I had to do was sing the Yule song until the sun came up.
33:15I always fell asleep.
33:17As long as night of the year or what kid wouldn't, right?
33:23Did she ever come back?
33:29No.
33:35Raelle's lucky to have you.
33:44Bedtime.
33:46Oh, the faster I fall asleep, the faster this day will be over.
33:53Hey, Nick Dunn.
33:58For joining in the song.
34:00Share a baby spree.
34:13Go for it.
34:14I can already see that you like it.
34:17Okay, super seer extraordinaire.
34:20Hardly.
34:22There's a lot going on right now that I didn't see coming.
34:27Yep.
34:28That makes two of us.
34:31Sometimes I feel like I'm in between worlds without belonging to any of them.
34:38Sounds familiar.
34:43When I conscripted, there wasn't a clear place for someone like me.
34:48I had to choose.
34:50It was either weapons building with the men or basic with the women, and neither was the right fit.
34:56That must have been so hard.
34:58Honestly?
35:00It was kind of traumatic.
35:03I always knew that one day I'd have to choose, but it didn't make that day any easier when it
35:07came.
35:08Um, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that.
35:12It got better.
35:14Alder noticed me.
35:16She urged me to go for war college, and eventually I became a coven leader.
35:20I met good witches.
35:21You see me for who I am.
35:25I see you for who you are, Tali.
35:27You're the one true constant, and you can count on yourself.
35:32And you've got us.
35:33I'll toast to that.
35:43I love you.
35:46And I'll never lose hope.
35:47I feel like throwing up.
35:49You'll sit and stare like a damn machine.
35:56I'd like to plan out my part in this.
36:00But you're such a narcissist.
36:02You'll probably do it next week.
36:06I don't get a choice.
36:09It doesn't matter why would I.
36:12It's only the death of me.
36:17Only the death of me.
36:30Ray?
36:32You're alive.
36:37Ray!
36:38Rael!
36:48Ray, stop!
37:17I saw her!
37:18What?
37:19Who?
37:20Rayel.
37:21Tali, look at me.
37:22Oh, my.
37:22It's okay.
37:24I don't know.
37:31There was nothing left.
37:33What are you talking about?
37:36I think she might end the world.
37:54This is inhuman.
37:55Yeah.
37:56Even some of these monsters are having a hard time watching it.
38:02Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
38:04We're gonna get out of this.
38:05Stay calm, okay?
38:07Remember your training.
38:08Yeah.
38:13Now, we have a very special treat for you.
38:16Something I've been wanting to see for quite a while.
38:21Army versus spree.
38:44We don't need to fight.
38:45We can make our own plans.
38:49Plan is, you die, we live.
39:02Make sure the mics and the cube are hot.
39:04This spree work is something special.
39:23Not so fast, soldier.
39:43I'm gonna get you out of here.
39:46Okay.
39:58We stand here today, bearing witness, yet again, to a wickedness that is plaguing this world.
40:06A wickedness that cannot be contained or bargained with.
40:11A wickedness that knows no compromise and requires forceful retaliation.
40:17I stood back when they murdered my daughter because President Wade asked me to.
40:22This great country cannot thrive while the decay of witches is allowed to run rampant in our midst.
40:29No.
40:30This isn't a eulogy.
40:31It's an inaugural speech.
40:34That beast.
40:38We gotta go.
40:39Go?
40:40Where?
40:41It's not safe for me here.
40:43My mother said you'd meet the council with us.
40:46Plants change.
40:47You cannot tell anybody that you saw me here.
40:50Not even the council.
40:51The council needs to know you're alive.
40:53I'm putting the wards back up.
40:55More to keep things out than to keep you weak.
40:56Are you serious?
40:57Soldiers!
40:58Stand down!
41:03The patient hunter spends most of his time in the blind.
41:07Our country is now, and the time to fight is now.
41:11On my word, I will break the binds of the Salem Accord,
41:14and I will lead these great United States towards a better world,
41:18free from the sin and corruption of witches.
41:22And together, we will silence their songs of murder and chaos.
41:28Forever.
41:29Forever.
41:30Forever.
41:33Forever.
41:34Forever.
