01x01 - A Better Future is in Your Hands

[bunniefuu]

[MARGOT] We never dared to imagine it.

A world that was built for us.

[REPORTERS CHATTERING]

Where we made the rules.

[CAMERAS CLICKING]

Where we could take what we wanted.

A world where God looked like us.

[MUFFLED SIRENS]

Where we were not afraid.

Where we were the ones to be feared.

- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

- [GASPING]

But that world was at our fingertips.

All we had to do was burn

down the world that was.

[WOMAN VOCALIZING]

[MRS. MONTGOMERY] Lord knows

what she's been through.

We were told her mama gave

her up when she was three.

She's been bounced around from

one foster home to another.

But all that's behind us

now, isn't it, sweetie?

Doctors say there's nothing

wrong with her, physically.

But, um, she just won't talk.

She hasn't said a word in six months.

In speech therapy we call

this selective mutism.

It's a psychological condition.

It happens most frequently in

children who've experienced trauma.

Now, no offense, but is it

possible that all this therapy,

it's just making a

mountain out of a molehill?

Maybe Allie is just the quiet type.

Nothing wrong with that.

Lord knows, the Missus does

enough talking for the both of 'em.

Clyde! Always messin'!

[LAUGHTER]

But we have been

blessed in so many ways.

Just never with a child of our own.

We've had foster children before,

plenty of 'em, but, um

But Allie's different.

I was hoping, with a little

structure and stability,

lots of love and prayer

that we could get her speaking again.

[THERAPIST] She will. When she's

ready. When she feels stronger.

And that's something

we can work on together.

If that's okay with you, Allie?

are failure to mow

and looking just a little too long

at that picture of Scarlett

Johansson in her superhero outfit.

[CHUCKLING]

Yes, the doc says that I

have a raging case of

sinful human nature, y'all,

and it's hereditary.

Sin

passed down from my

great-great-great-great-grandmama Eve.

- Original sin

- [VOICE] Bullshit.

- [PREACHER] That we are bathed in, and

- [VOICE] Blame Eve.

"Always blame Eve."

That's what you're

[PREACHER] I am forbidding from my lust.

[VOICE] It's time to use that voice.

I know you got one.

[PREACHER] To live right

[WHISPERS] I'll go after her.

This is not a hoax.

The world as we know it

may never be the same.

The minute you stepped

out in front of this thing,

you became the face of it.

[MARGOT] This power is evolution.

We got it because we need it.

[WOMAN] I feel something different

about her. Something special.

She could lead.

[BERNIE] That's enough,

Rox. Don't push me.

- Don't f*ckin' push me!

- [SHOUTS] Or what!

[TUNDE] This power is spreading.

It's gonna change things

all over the world.

It's a good story. You want

to finish what you started?

[JOS] Like, I didn't even realise

that I was living in constant fear.

I just feel like a

hundred pounds lighter.

And a hundred times stronger.

[MARGOT] What the hell

are the feds doing here?

[MAN] Stop!

You're gonna treat our

kids like f*cking criminals?

I might have the lead on something.

They're testing for EOD. They're

saying everyone has to do it.

[MAN] I'm gonna dust

what's left of your career.

[WOMAN] Go tell everybody.

Big change is coming.

Pick a side.

[SCREAMING]

[GASPS]

Oh, my God.

You don't get to tell

us what to do anymore.
