MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM, 2x09-2x10
starters from episodes 9 & 10 of season 2 of the show motherland: fort salem.
βwhere have you been?β
βyou killed someoneβ¦?β
βjustify and rationalize all you want. but violence is not our way.β
βthey think weβre animals that can be slaughtered.β
βyou donβt have to do this, (name). if you donβt feel comfortable.β
βwipe out one, wipe out one hundred, you canβt kill an idea.β
βwe should talk about the lines youβve crossed in order to make that βgoodβ happen.β
βhow do you propose we move forward?β
βi honestly donβt know what else i was expecting to see when you said itβs a βmushroom wallβ.β
βi guess they think iβm most useful as a recruiting tool.β
βthatβs not the whole story.β
βand you donβt care that nobodyβs gonna know the truth?β
βone way or another, this was always going to end with my death.β
βi know how much it hurts to believe in someone and find out that person isnβt who you thought they were.β
βthis whole messed up system needs to change.β
βwe have to stop fighting each other and start fighting the real enemy before itβs too late.β
βyou cannot imagine what iβve seen.β
βall the horrorβ¦ all the gloryβ¦ gone. for good.β
βiβm human. somewhere along the way i think you forgot you are too.β
βyou have done our family proud.β
βwith all due respect, we canβt wait any longer for the fight to come to us.β
βone of us wasnβt walking out of that room, and we/i needed you to live.β
βis this where we go when we die?β
βthey gave me this gift. and iβm not gonna let anybody tell me how to use it.β
βstop pretending like you donβt keep tabs on me.β
βyouβre welcome to stay on as long as youβd like.β
βwould you mind going for a walk? thereβs something iβd like to show you.β
βi donβt want to hurt you.β
βyouβre going to have to. unless you want to tell everyone why weβre really here.β
βthe world needs to know why they did what they did.β
βthatβs just what they want. for us to keep killing each other while they sit back and watch.β
βthey should pay for their crimes. but not like this.β
βi was worried that i was leaving you unprepared for the future, but you are more ready to face it than i ever was.β
βdonβt make the same mistakes i have.β
βare you okay? consideringβ¦ everything thatβs happening?β
βdid we just change the world?β
βyou should go. just leave me a weapon so i can take down some of these bastards with me.β
βwe fight. until our very last breath.β
βi just wanted to pop by and pay my respects beforeβ¦ the inevitable.β
βare we going to have a problem?β
βare you gonna teach me that?β
βoh, iβm so glad youβre safe.β
βi justβ¦ i didnβt want you to worry.β
βiβm always going to worry about you, (name).β
βduring the attackβ¦ i kept thinking that i might never see you again. and that was the worst part of it.β
βweβve never needed words. all these years, weβve just always known. and now that i need the words, they wonβt comeβ¦β
βi donβt know how to do this - any of it - without you.β
βyou told me to follow the truth, no matter where it led. but i donβt think either of us imagined it would lead us here.β
βi donβt need βperhapsβ. i need answers.β
βyou were supposed to keep them safe.β
βthat was not an easy call to make. and it will haunt your days. but it was the right call to make.β
βthey looked at meβ¦ right in the eyes. they were so, so scaredβ¦ and they begged me in that last moment, they-β
βcan you lighten up for one minute?β
βiβll get a martyrβs death. iβm just sorry itβs not going to end so well for you.β
βnow theyβre gonna turn you into a monster for it. watch.β
βhave we played a part in something awful?β
βi was trying to change things. but weβve stepped so far backβ¦β
βseeing that man, about to murder youβ¦ something broke in me. and it wonβt go back together.β
βitβs no crime to defend yourself. or those you love.β
βi donβt want to run anymore. i want to stand and fight.β
βyou just keep getting better.β
βi think i was rather convincing, donβt you?β
