We finally know the background of the mule on the “basis” – or is we?

Gulle, She also played Billo AsbicBoth threat and mystery brought to institutionSeason Three. It is more than good in the terrifying visions that followed his arrival – we know It is destined for an evil battle against institution Gal Durnick’s heroine (Le Lulio) – with his harsh and groaning plan to seize the galaxy. He uses his huge psychological powers to treat people to commit horrors, with the claim that he just wants to be loved.

This complexity must come from somewhere, and “End of the Foreign”, the seventh episode of institution The third season gives us a peek on the shocking background of the mules. Or … is this?

The “End of the Foundation” begins on a planet that we have not seen before. We have heard about how to control the world’s important “BRADBASTECT” worlds, and this is one of them: Rossem, “on the edges of external access”. The timeline “years ago”, which is an inaccurate number in an offer that usually likes to be very accurate with its numbers.

Amid a field of crops, a woman is watching a child with a large vehicle. She notes her other son – who looks at about 12 or so – that the neighbors, Barton, do not like to see her with the infant. Initially, it is not clear. “They are a good people,” she insists on the boy when he suggests that Barton wants to be able to take the child. Perhaps, the viewer believes that they were trying to have children and did not succeed.

This thought is pushed aside when, as with the child and his mother, they gently argue around his sweet teeth, the giant’s arrival. The mother calls them the “rugs”, and it is clear that there is harvest, but they have arrived early. Machines are not what makes the family run the house, though. We see a basis mainly whispering in their annihilation, carrying the “residents” who came to verify.

We get an idea of ​​what is happening with the mother’s stop, in the middle of printing, to violate children’s clothes from the exterior. Inside the house, it’s fever. My mother overlapped the secret dessert of her eldest son and gives her to the child, hiding her in a secret wardrobe. “this royal“The child complains, although he certainly knows what will happen.

The important residents of the institution take and talk about “allocations” of supplies. It is clear that the family is a thin outstretched, although the father blames the pirates nervously for not sharing people as they did before. It is tense, but visitors conclude their visit when everyone hears it: the child screams.

My mother and my father are trying to claim that he is “Barton’s child, from the neighborhood.” They only watched it, as you see, and we tucked it so that the residents did not think they They were violating the policy of the strict institution of the child.

Al -Maqis is not a fool and reminds them of the Foundation, “Trust in the Solving Deleter Solving”. They have two children. They are only allowed to get one. So when he returns in 30 days, he says: “You will have one child.” It raises a wide smile while the destroyed parents hold each other and predict, and the boy appears Very anxious. “See next month!”

Although we saw how the leadership of the Foundation – barely, there was any trace of Harry Sildon’s original group of brave settlers and adventurers intellectually – we have not seen its expansion expanded on ordinary generations later. Now, we realize that the great success of the institution did not come without a price.

Then the episode jumps to “Now”, as we see Tranturt interacting with the invasion of the mule of the new station, then chaos on a new station itself. The mule converts the smoothness of the mayor of Fox Warden into his case; In a later scene, he has a small group of girls, tells Indbur that the mule want him to drown himself, which is what the man does “with pleasure.” It is horrific.

“Drowning … a bad way to go,” the mule qualifies. We return to the flashback on Rossim, and it is now clear that this is the mule in its youth. The family goes to the edge of the tank, which the father calls “beautiful”, although it is a dark smoke scene. “Here is a good place,” tells the mother, walking towards the boy, carrying a rope behind his back.

This is already terrifying enough, but the boy knows what he will protest and shout in protest. Can’t Barton take the child? No, they cannot; It was only evaluated for two family members. Certainly they don’t want to take an older child as well. As the boy screams (but you are you love I! ), His eyes get this silver look, we have seen that the mule takes when he activates his powers. First, his father goes to euphoria and drowns under the water, then his mother, after placing the child carefully on the beach, does the same.

“You want to be there …” You love to make me happy, “The sound of the little mule is repeated through their deadly minds.” You love me more than anything else, ”he says loudly.

like institution He returns to the new Terminus, we see that the mule stands next to the burial, and shares his story out loud in favor of one of Harry Sildon. (We cannot see it, but MULE depends on listening to every word.) While we draw this heinous story-while he was thinking about a strange moment in the third episode, where he stopped Moses in the middle of the material, his life does not feel sometimes that he ends up saying that he escaped from his home by joining the audience with hoofs. It is noteworthy that the pirates were believed to be bad, but they “did not take as much as it was.”

When there is no response, the mule closes “cowards” and turns into departure – but smiles big When Sildon’s voice hears. “This is a very tragic story … I wonder how true it is.”

The mule responds with a wide smile: “Oh, the truth comes at the door of your door, Harry Sildon.”

Do you think the mule was saying the truth about his childhood? (If so, what happened to his brother?) Or do you think that he is an unreliable narrator at the height of his powers, and closes a carefully calibrating story of his intended audience? Why does he want to share the story with Harry Sildon in the first place?

We will discover more, but there are only three episodes institution Leave the puzzle through the mule scheme and reach this deadly confrontation with GAL. (Also, we did not discuss it here, but what will happen to Brother now after it is in the clutches of the robot worship?)
