Mother of Tears Page #5
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?
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.
