Mother of Tears Page #5

Synopsis: An ancient urn is found in a cemetery outside Rome. Once opened, it triggers a series of violent incidents: robberies, rapes and murders increase dramatically, while several mysterious, evil-looking young women coming from all over the world are gathering in the city. All these events are caused by the return of Mater Lacrimarum, the last of three powerful witches who have been spreading terror and death for centuries. Alone against an army of psychos and demons, Sarah Mandy, an art student who seems to have supernatural abilities of her own, is the only person left to prevent the Mother of Tears from destroying Rome.

the best I've ever known.

- My mother was a dancer.

- And a healer.

A white witch, if you will.

And it seems to me

you've inherited some of her gifts.

- Listen, lady-

- It's Marta.

Marta. Whoever you are...

I don't know you and I didn't

come here to talk to you.

Please leave me

alone now, okay?

How did you get away

at the train station?

What the-Who are you?

Elisa was helping you.

Coaching you, wasn't she?

I- I don't know.

I heard- I heard a voice.

- did you really know my mother?

- Quite well.

- You don't know much about her, do you?

- No.

I don't remember much

about my parents.

I was very young

when they died in the accident.

The car crash in Freiburg.

No, honey. I'm sorry.

That's not what happened.

- Your parents were murdered.

- What?

What are you talking about?

Nobody ever told me this.

What are you saying?

Your mother dared to fight

a very powerful black witch:

Mater Suspiriorum,

the Mother of Sighs.

The Mother of Sighs?

Father Johannes.

- How many drops?

- Twenty, please.

You look exhausted.

You need to rest.

With everything that's going on now?

I have to fight.

- I have to fight!

- Stay calm now. Please. Take your drops.

Your weakness is your strength, Father.

I've been expecting you.

- You're Sarah.

- Yes.

Hi.

There's a lot I have to

tell you-about your mother...

about you,

and about a world-

you hardly know.

More than a thousand years ago...

witchcraft was birthed...

by the shores of the Black Sea

by three sisters.

For years they roamed

the earth...

bringing death and destruction

wherever they went.

Search any art history book

and you'll find images of them.

Eventually, they found homes.

Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs,

settled in Freiburg.

The Mother of Pain, Mater Tenebrarum,

went to New York.

Mater Lacrimarum

came to Rome.

She's known as the Mother of Tears.

She's the most cruel

and beautiful of the three.

And she's the only one still alive.

Mater Tenebrarum

and Mater Suspiriorum...

died many years ago.

The Mother of Sighs.

She murdered my parents.

Yes. But not before your mother...

had injured her horribly.

After fighting your mother,

she was reduced to a shell of her former self.

A young dancer

named Suzy Bannion...

finally managed to kill her.

But that's all history.

When that urn Brusca

found was opened...

it restored the Mother of Tears's powers.

How do you know about that?

Your friend, Michael,

told me about it...

when he phoned and spoke

of a magic red tunic...

that would be a great

and powerful talisman.

I've had visions.

Witches are coming...

from all over the world

to celebrate her return.
