[THE VOICE] The world
is in need of revolution,

and you are gonna be its voice.

I have a bad feeling about her.
This girl's gonna make trouble.

[THE VOICE] This is it, baby.

This is your family.

[SISTER VERONICA] Eve, you
can't use your electricity

under my roof.

You don't get to tell
us what to do anymore.

I'm intersex. I think
that's why I can do this.

You know, my mum has
been risking her life

protecting people who have skeins,

and you've just been hiding yours.

I don't need this.

[BERNIE] What's this?

- It's half.
- [DAVID GRUNTS]

- Shock him.
- I don't want to.

All the women were told to leave.

They said I could keep you.

Don't move.

Give it to me. [YELPS]

[POLINA YELPS]

[SPEAKING ROMANIAN] All

[REPORTER ON TV]
The deceased has been identified

as Paul Jordan, , a dog
walker from Puget Ridge.

Jordan posted disturbing
messages on social media

and is suspected of sending hate mail

to Seattle Mayor, Margot Cleary-Lopez.

[PEOPLE CLAMOURING, SCREAMING]

In the days before his death,

Jordan was also believed
to be an outspoken follower

of the mysterious social media
influencer known only as Urbandox.

While Urbandox's real
identity remains unknown,

his stance on EOD led to
an uptick of hate crimes

against girls and women
across the country.

[THE VOICE] Weak minds everywhere.

Just looking for something
to hang their purpose on.

[URBANDOX ON TV] I'm
talking about real power.

These girls don't know how to fight.

They're not bulletproof.

[THE VOICE] You call yourself Eve.

You better protect your Garden of Eden.

[EERIE MUSIC]

[REPORTER] Various arrests have
been reported in several states

where Urbandox is known to
have amassed millions of...

[THE VOICE] You need that kind of power.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Holy sh*t, dude. You got like
a whole-ass entourage with you.

Yeah, I can't go anywhere without them.

Literally had to fight my dad to
let me come to school this morning.

sh*t. I saw what happened on the news.

That freak lit himself on
fire. For real, are you OK?

I'm fine.

Just wish people would
stop staring at me.

[QUINN] What happened
was really messed up.

But also, you're like low-key famous.

Your mum's gonna be the next president.

- I'm calling it now.
- Have you seen Ryan?

No. He wasn't here yesterday either.

Did you guys have a fight?

[TENSE MUSIC]

Burn, baby, burn.

[GRUNTS] Freedom of speech!

Don't touch me. My dad's gonna sue you.

- [FEMALE GUARD] Lets call him up then.

[TUNDE] Mr Blease.

Tunde Ojo.

[SIGHS]

Sit down.

Welcome to Carpathia, Tunde Ojo.

Your Riyadh footage has made
you the talk of the town.

Ah, yeah, yeah. Um...

Right place, right time.

Just lucky.

I need someone to go to a place
where women eat men for breakfast.

You've got an eye, Tunde.

Might even turn out to be a talent.

And I'm assuming some
charm with the opposite sex.

If you say so.

Group of women broke out
of a basement in the North,

held c*ptive for who knows how long.

- They look scared.
- Wrong.

They're angry and they're hiring.

This one here...

seems to be emerging as a leader.

Goes by Zoia.

I want you to go there

and find out their next move.

Meet this Zoia character.

Why don't you go yourself?

I have to stay here and wait for
an interview with Viktor Moskalev.

Things are moving fast, Tunde.

This thing that women have,
it's another f*cking fossil fuel.

Someone's gonna try
and make money off it.

It's gonna be a w*r.

A w*r?

[SCOFFS] No, no, no, no. It's, uh...

This EOD is gonna change things.

To women liberating
themselves, taking charge.

They're gonna show us a
better way to run things.

What, you mean frying tanks
while there are soldiers inside?

What do you say, Tunde?

You wanna finish what you started?

[SOFT MUSIC]

[TUNDE] Carpathia is the world
capital of human trafficking.

There are many towns here
with staging posts in basements

and condemned buildings.

Towns where everyone
knew what was going on,

but turned a blind eye or took
a bribe for silence or survival.

Now, the women are breaking free and
burning these towns to the ground.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

Refugees.

Men who fled those murdering witches.

Try.

I'm looking for a woman called Zoia.

Moscow are ready to issue

The whole country? That must cost...

- [DIPLOMAT] Millions.
- [VIKTOR] Mm.

It's cheaper than building the
amount of prisons it would take

- to house them all.
- Mm.

The tag alerts when electricity is used

with the benefits of
knowing where the user is.

Jesus Christ.

I thought you were one of the sisters.

Um... what's with the break-in?

Sister Veronica took my phone away.

I missed my call with
Riley two days in a row.

It's the only way I get to see her.

She's three years old.

She doesn't get why
Mommy isn't with her.

She's just gonna think I left her.

[SOBBING]

Hey, no, it's OK.

[CONTINUES SOBBING]

Hey, stop crying, stop crying.

Listen, stop crying. OK?

You're gonna talk to Riley.

You're gonna talk to
Riley right now. OK?

OK, all right.

You... you kinda gotta let it
build up, like, like water boiling,

and think...

Think of every bad thing
that has ever happened to you,

and it's in your chest and it's growing.

OK.

- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
- [SAVANNAH PANTING]

Now... let it all out.

- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
- [BOTH GASP]

- You're amazing.
- You're the one who did it.

Hi, baby.

Mommy missed you so much.

- Hi, Mommy.
- [CHUCKLES]

This is my daughter.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Riley, say hi to Mommy's friend.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How's your hand, Riley bear?

The burn looks a lot better.

Mommy didn't mean to hurt you.

Babs.

- What's this?
- Rent.

[BARBARA] Mmm.

Yeah, 'cause it costs a lot of money
to keep a house like this going.

I'm not gonna say
"thanks" though, 'cause...

You might break out in hives.

No. 'Cause no amount of money is
gonna make up for what you've done.

[BERNIE] Rox!

Come in, darling.

You know Lester Sprink? Been
looking after the family for years.

This is Roxy, my youngest.

Sit yourself down.

We're going over my will.

Now, Monke and Sons...

was always gonna be divided into three.

And now that Terry's gone,

I've gotta decide where
that third should go.

[RICKY] Dad, this has
already been decided.

Liat and I are starting a family.
We need the extra security.

And what do you think, Darrell?

Yeah, well, whatever you say, Dad.

I'm happy with my lot.

Bernie, Ricky and Terry work together,

so it's only fair that
Ricky should get his share.

I know what was said, love,

but the world's changing, innit?

I mean, in ten years' time,
we might look out of step

without a woman at the top.

[LESTER] There's, um,
no rush on the paperwork.

Well, that's good,
because I'd like to see

how my oldest and my youngest

work together before I sign anything.

[RICKY] What an absolute joke.

Send him away.

I had seizures ever since I was a kid.

Eve laid her hands on me, I

You do all of that

I do it with God.

[LUANNE] Eve talks to God.

She says God's a woman.

Yeah, no offence,

I'm not about the religion stuff. Um...

Uh, my daddy was a preacher, so...

I believe those stories

The end of sexual sl*very.

Tell me...

Where were men like you...

I'm done here.

No, wait, I... I posted the
first video of EOD out of Nigeria.

I went to Saudi, I went to Riyadh.

I filmed the protest there. I

OK, I want to do this. I have to.

You are the voice of a revolution.

Your time has come.

[SAVANNAH GROANS SOFTLY]

[GIRLS] Savannah!

- Where have you gone, Savannah?
- Savannah, where are you?

- Savannah!
- Savannah!

- Where are you?
- Savannah!

[GIRLS] Savannah!

[GORDY] Savannah!

- Savannah, come on!
- Where are you?

- [GIRLS] Savannah!
- Hey, what's going on?

- Is she in there?
- Wait, who? What's...

We can't find her. We
can't find Savannah.

- Savannah, she's gone missing.
- There is a...

there is a Kn*fe in the bathroom,
there's blood all over the floor.

There's blood and Kn*fe? Well,
OK, well, we gotta find her.

Sister Veronica says we
have to go back inside.

- This is dangerous.
- No, no, no, OK.

We're not giving up on her.

- We have to find her.
- [SISTER VERONICA] Girls!

- We're gonna go down to the water.
- OK.

[OVERLAPPING VOICES]

- Coming.
- [SISTER VERONICA] Go inside right now.

[GIRLS] Savannah!

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SAVANNAH GASPS]

- [SAVANNAH] Get off!
- [ALLIE] No! No! No!

- Let me go! Let me go!
- No!

- No!
- [SAVANNAH CRYING] Please leave me.

Please leave me. Please leave me.

Please leave me.

[SAVANNAH CRYING] Please...

Don't let Sister Veronica see her.

Here.

- Here? Yeah?
- Right here, yep.

- OK.
- Slowly.

[ALLIE] OK, OK, OK.

They won't let me see my baby.

My mum took the EOD,

and now they're putting
Riley in a foster home.

OK, look, then we'll
bring Riley here, OK?

But, Savannah, we cannot
do that without you, OK?

- I want this out of me.
- Stop.

- I want this f*cking thing out of me.
- Stop, stop, stop. Savannah, stop.

- I want it out of me.
- Look at me, look at me!

Savannah, stop. Stop, OK?

Please don't say that. Please?

Please don't say that. Please.

Please, I promise you, it
gets better. I promise you.

I promise you, it will get better.

OK? I promise.

I'm here.

I'm here.

[LUANNE] I was about seven
when I found out I was a girl.

You know what I mean?

I've just been a kid up until then.

But then, suddenly, I was a
girl, and I knew what that meant.

Meant that I was on the sh*t team.

The world makes sure we
know it's the sh*t team.

I once took so many pills
because of that exact reason.

There were these, um, pictures of
me going around school, like naked.

And I just thought,
I'm done with this sh*t.

[LUANNE] What happened?

Neighbour found me on
the porch, called .

When I was nine years old, I told
my mum what my uncle did to me.

She got so mad, she hit me
in the face over and over.

She said he had a bad childhood.

He didn't know any better and
I shouldn't say stuff about him.

So I never said a word to
anybody else ever again.

[THE VOICE] They need
something to believe in.

Make them believe in you.

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

Show them how God moves through you.

[SAVANNAH] Where are you going?

[ALLIE] Follow me.

[SISTER MARIA] Here.

[THE VOICE] You don't have
to touch them to move them.

[ALLIE] There's never been
a God for girls like us.

They tell us we're nothing.

And we beg, we cringe, we smile.

We keep silent because we
think it will protect us.

And no matter what we do,

we're lacking in some way.

There's always some
standard we don't live up to

and they bury us in shame.

And all this time, our word
has counted for nothing.

They didn't hear us when we spoke,

and, well, now, the world will listen.

This is our time.

[ALL GASP]

[SAVANNAH] Holy sh*t. My
legs, they just gave out.

[LUANNE] I think it was God.

[DECLAN] We got one chance at this, OK?

The rebels are led by
a woman called Zoia.

Zoia gave birth to a daughter.

[SISTER VERONICA] More will come.

They'll want to know
