Motherland: Fort Salem

Previously on Motherland.

Tonight...

We offer up the witch.

And the Dodgers can keep her safe,

I'm concerned that Penelope will become a target.

Can you guarantee her safety?

Don't worry, Mr. Vice President. We take care of our own.

I then use that same work

to start the Spree...

W ith the capture of Nicte Batan.

- You will step down. - They've engineered it

to become a self-sustaining hunter.

- It's here. - Is she the source?

I have a warrant for the arrest of your daughter

and her unit for murder.

You guys need to disappear.

We'll head west. Get lost in the Cession.

We have to take Nicte with us.

Thanks for saving my ass, Red.

It's not every day you kill your own daughter.

You will be hailed as a hero, Mr. President.

Okay, who mixed three-hole with plain letter?

Little too keen for Dodger of the month, aren't you, Red?

She's right. Bring it down about 87% percent

and you'll be in the zone.

I want you so bad.

Here I am.

You're wearing way too many clothes.

- We could just... - Tell me.

Paul in the office...

I know, but if someone would always...

All right, listen up.

I want all this relabeled to ship out in the morning.

It's tedious I know, but why are we doing this?

To maintain the appearance

of a robust shipping and receiving operation at all times.

Uh, why is all that copy paper over there?

Seems like a good place for it.

It's been a month.

You should know by now

that it's not a good place for it.

Because this is shipping and that is receiving.

Understood. Thanks, Mac.

And why is this important to everyone?

Because we're one of the biggest

distribution centers in the area.

That's right, we are!

And the better we keep this up,

the longer we stay free.

Which is exactly what Dodgers need to be!

Enjoy your day, everyone!

Don't get too attached to Mr. Funtimes.

We're gonna have to move on soon.

Also, you need to change your faces.

Not gonna happen.

My work too dirty for you?

Yes, Batan. In fact, it is.

That goes for me, too.

Do you think these people want you here?

Looking like that?

Think hard about it.

You're gonna do great.

I think you're very brave, by the way.

Appreciate that.

Right now, you are living every father's nightmare.

The loss of a child.

Your beloved Penelope.

What question would you most like to ask the people

who killed your daughter?

Let's name these people.

Why we be coy here?

I'm referring to Officer Cadets Abigail Bellweather.

Raelle Collar, and Tally Craven

who are all currently fugitives from justice.

These young women have yet to be charged.

They escaped along the way to their arraignment.

If they were innocent, why would they run?

Back to the question.

What would you like to ask them?

Why did it have to be her?

Penelope was probably the...

most gentle person in the entire world.

She didn't deserve this,

especially not from the people

who promised to protect her.

Did you know there are thought to be

as many as 16,000 unregistered witches

living in the US?

Many apparently hiding in the Cession?

We need to know who they are and where they are.

Which is why I've gathered funding

for a new genealogical research project

to identify those with unknown witch ancestry

so that we can protect them.

"Protect"... with pile of burning logs.

Are you watching this?

People are gonna eat this up.

How are things on your end?

The Fetch is planted.

He has a lunch date tomorrow.

Girlfriend of the week?

Maybe.

Safety is my main concern.

We believe you. Well, most of us do.

I'll speak for myself.

I believe you're innocent.

You're safe with us for as long as you need.

Just please...

Make sure that we're safe with you.

Now that we have to watch out

for the Camarilla as well as the army.

Follow our rules.

The Witch plague vaccine is nearly there.

It will be ready for a mass inoculation

for all active duty personnel in a week.

- Excellent. - How goes the transition?

Calamitous. But this is what I'm made for.

When can we be sure the entire base is cleared of that poison?

The markings on the trees are harmless.

The base is clear.

At least on the ground.

There's an odd low pressure system

that's been lingering over the base.

I'll dispel it myself.

- I need to clear my head. - We're on it.

Have you been able to reach Abigail?

No.

And it's not doing good things to me.

Does the thing on the news mean we have to move?

Not necessarily.

I don't want to run anymore.

I know it's so fun to see so many new places all the time,

but it makes you so tired.

GI know. Yeah, my parents were Dodgers, too.

We started running when I was about your age.

Is it true that you were in the Spree?

- Who told you that? - One of the other kids.

They said I shouldn't talk to you anymore.

I was... involved with the Spree. For a while.

But that's nobody's business,

and you get to pick your own friends.

Is it true that you whenever you change your face,

it's the face of someone you murdered?

Absolutely not, Tiffany.

It's just a piece of Work like any other.

It's okay. Remember the drill.

Okay, I'll be back.

Let's go.

It's okay, it's okay. Everything checked out,

Just a new group of Dodgers looking to lay low.

Ask me, they've got that ex-Spree feel.

Anyway, they're exhausted. I put them to bed.

Is it bad that I was kind of looking forward

to a confrontation?

What does that say about me?

- That you're a soldier. - Nice one, babe.

See you bright and early.

Maybe we can go finish what we started.

Way to make a girl feel single.

Sorry.

We open at twelve!

It was nice while it lasted.

Remember when we talked about the lighthouse?

You can watch the boats.

Wouldn't have to look over our shoulder.

To buy groceries, take naps, make dinner.

Return library books.

We sound so exciting.

Normal things are nice.

It's a good dream.

- What's wrong with dreaming? - Nothing.

It's probably the first time in my life

I ever felt like I had a future to dream about.

Really?

Yeah.

Do do you, so...

- I love you. - I love you, too.

Haven't seen that face in a while.

- One of many. - I saw that picture of you. Before Liberia.

That's your real face.

This isn't what I look like anymore.

This is what I look like

when I met Alder way back when.

Seemed appropriate to wear it when we met again.

Does it give you any peace...

that she's gone?

Do I seem peaceful?

I don't even know what that is anymore.

You guys are nuts not to change your looks.

I know. Let's just say there's some resistance there.

Would you have recruited me for the Spree?

Back in the day?

No chance.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

Neither do you.

Talent you've got.

You lack prey drive.

I see exactly how gifted you are.

Your Sight is powerful,

but poking around corners isn't going to save you.
