Motherland: Fort Salem

- Previously on Motherland: - Lieutenant Helen Graves.

Give your special Necro a minute to open up. Bet she's worth it.

- Soon I'll be as good as them. - You're ignorant of the world.

And you're patronizing and arrogant.

I've been expecting you, Scylla. The way out is in.

I'm filled with an unbearable sadness.

No matter what happens, I love you.

Scylla!

Charvel, she's dead.

Scylla's gone too.

You did the right thing by reporting what you saw, Private.

How can I be a sister to her and a liar at the same time?

Scylla's alive.

Please don't believe everything they tell you.

Citydrop starts now, soldiers. I need you suited and booted.

Listen up. The second we step off this tin can,

I want your eyes open and your head on a swivel.

Up here! Let's go!

- Move, move! - Come on, this way! Stay together!

Tal?

- Shit! - Can you stand on it?

I think it's broken.

Oh, God, okay.

Okay. It's okay, I got you.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you.

Through the rivers, they shall not flood you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned.

I saw a balloon. I think Scylla is Spree.

It was you.

You reported her.

- I can explain. - You lied to Anacostia.

Tally, I... I trusted you!

- I wanted to tell you. - You watched me suffer.

You knew she was alive this entire time!

No, I didn't know what happened to Scylla. I swear it!

I didn't know if she was dead or alive or anything.

Whatever this is, you two need to stop it and start focusing!

Do you have any idea what's on the line here?

- Where are you going? - To fix what she did!

White Phase Evaluation begins now.

Every element of your training is to be used against the enemy. That enemy is the Spree.

At any point over the next

two days, you may encounter trip mines

or hostile Spree agents.

Those are our trained officers

and they will be using the same techniques the Spree are using

to wreak havoc in the world.

Your rules of engagement: give everything you've got.

Our officers will not hold back, neither should you.

Trust me, they're going to challenge you in every way imaginable.

If we have to pull you out, War College is no longer an option.

You'll be put on the list for early deployment.

Welcome to Citydrop.

Your first op: clear your unit's assigned street

of all mines and meet at the rendezvous point in one hour.

Use your Seed Sounds for locating and defusing.

Be safe. Stay sharp.

Swythe Unit, Avenue A.

Moffett Unit, Avenue C.

Bellweather Unit, Avenue F.

Amagont Unit, Avenue G.

Habergone Unit, Avenue Q.

Barbet Unit, Avenue Y.

I noticed a little friction in the Bellweather Unit.

- Anything I can do to help? - We're doing just fine.

- Best thing to do is stay out of our way. - Good.

It's no fun to beat you if you aren't at your best.

The feeling is so mutual.

Got the map. Let's move out.

Tally, you're on Scry duty. Raelle, defuse.

I'll search. Call out if you see anything suspicious.

You're wrong about Scylla. She told me not to believe what people said about her.

She had specific orders to take you somewhere called Penelope Road at 6pm.

- You were her target. - But she didn't take me anywhere, Tally.

She was with me right before the attack telling me she loved me.

I did it to protect you.

Please believe me.

I don't.

All clear over here!

Copy. Is your site secure?

Is your site secure?

Hate me all you want.

But don't lie to yourself. You saw what I saw.

- Get away the car! - Scylla is Spree!

Since it was sound-borne, you're not contagious.

You were just hit with a mild form of plague.

This is mild?

Tally, I hear it goes away in a few hours.

It'll be an unpleasant night before it wears off.

- Or we can send you home. - Absolutely not.

We'll be putting you here. Grab a spot anywhere.

Okay, what the hell is going on with you two?

You realize if this were a real combat zone,

- we'd all be dead right now. - So you don't know?

- Know what? - I reported Scylla to Anacostia

because I saw her talking to a balloon at the wedding.

- What does that even mean? - She was talking to a balloon in a mirror.

It's how they communicate.

The Spree.

Scylla's Spree, and you brought her to my cousin's wedding?

Neither of you know the first thing about her.

I know Scylla, she's not Spree.

Settle down, ladies.

She was gonna turn you over to them. That's all I need to know.

I was protecting you, Raelle.

I don't need your protection. I need Scylla back.

Lights out!

Raelle? Raelle.

Oh, my God!

I don't understand!

They're gonna tell you horrible things about me.

- No! - No!

- You can't just leave. - I need to find Anacostia.

You think she went outside?

What?

You knew Scylla was responsible for Charvel's death

- and you didn't tell me. - Abigail...

If you knew Scylla was Spree, why didn't you tell me right away?

It was your responsibility to give me that information.

What would you have done? Stop her?

I went to Anacostia,

and she gave me an order not to say anything after.

What about our unit?

We have to trust each other.

What's going on?

Windstrike won't work.

Hand-to-hand only!

Hello?

Soldier!

State your business.

Helen. Lieutenant Graves.

It's Raelle Collar.

You want to tell me how you know my name, Private?

From Fort Salem. We did guard duty together.

You know my girlfriend, Scylla Ramshorn.

I have no idea who you are.

I don't know a Scylla Ramshorn.

And it's been years since I've had to walk guard duty.

You better get your story straight, Private Collar.

We met. How else would I know your name?

I intend to find out.

In the meantime, you're AWOL.

Return to camp directly,

or I'll report you as such.

Bellweather, stand down!

Abigail! Hey! Look at me! Abigail!

Look at me. Look at me!

You're okay.

You're okay.

It's over.

Okay.

Our first enemy combatants defeated.

Enough.

Bellweather Unit.

What you just did is not how you

conduct yourself in the field.

When the threat is neutralized, you stop.

When you're in battle, you represent nothing less than the American military.

You act accordingly.

Down to business.

Your next op: there's a high school

one click east of here.

You're after the Spree agents inside.

Cordon and search.

Beware the mines they've laid. Go room to room.

Bring them back alive,

and this time with no more than a Windburn on them.

Yes, Lieutenant.

All right, move out.

Try and save some of that bloodlust for the actual Spree.

Don't burn yourself out on Citydrop.

Let's fan out. We can cover more ground.

You two blame me, but we're here to do a job.

Fine. I'll navigate.

Abigail, watch our backs. Raelle, identify and apprehend.

Raelle on Spree watch? Great, she brought one to my cousin's wedding.

I'm sure she'll be able to find more.

She had nothing to do with what happened, Abigail.

- She came because of me. - What if there was another reason?

Clear!

What if there was another reason?

Clear.

- Thanks. - Defensive work only.

- Let's go hunting. - Love to, if you can keep up.

Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Thanks.

Glad to see you two fighting someone else for a change.

Izadora, what's our status?

Strike team reporting. They've finished recon.

They can confirm that this is a Spree installation?

It's confirmed.

The sixth floor is an armory.

Where is your intel coming from?

We're ready to breach.

- Give the order. - Yes, General.

That's a go. Move in.

Private Collar.

We need a minute.
