Post by bunniefuu »

[MRS. MONTGOMERY] Doctors say

there's nothing wrong with her.

She just won't talk.

[THERAPIST] It's a

psychological condition.

It happens in children

who've experienced trauma.

[GROANS]

[THE VOICE] He f*cking deserved it.

[ALLIE] Where am I?

[SISTER MARIA] This is the

Sisters of Christ Convent.

- [SISTER MARIA] What's your name?

- Eve.

I want them dead, Dad.

[SCREAMS]

- [BUZZES]

- [CRYING]

I wanna be there when you k*ll them.

I don't need you doing something

stupid, little girl. D'you hear me?

- Ndudi Okafor!

- Eh, hey!

[TUNDE] That's a story that's

going to change the world.

Why's he spying on us?

It's okay. He's my friend!

[SCREAMS]

[TUNDE] I'm gonna find

out what happened to you.

[NDUDI] Tunde that was my story.

Do something you believe in for once.

CNN called me.

They want me to do

my style of reporting.

Dami, this power is spreading.

It's gonna change things.

All over the world. This is my destiny.

[SCREAMS]

[MIDDLE EASTERN SONG PLAYING]

You're here for work?

Yes.

[DRIVER] You're a taxi driver, huh?

No, no, no. I, er, work in tech.

There's a conference here in two days.

I've just come from Lagos.

Everyone there's talking about

the girls and their electric hands.

Have you seen it?

[DRIVER] No. And I don't want to.

They banned it here.

It's not a problem for us.

And it's only girls anyway.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[TV NARRATOR] The skein buds

have been located in older women

and can be ignited or kick

started by a younger woman.

Doctors have located the source of

the EOD or Electric Organ Discharge.

It comes from the skein,

a new organ that stretches

across the collarbone

containing thousands of disk-like cells

called electrocytes and electroplaxes.

These disks are stacked

against each other,

and an electrical charge is

created by pushing electrons

through these cells in one direction.

The charge is released by suddenly

letting the electrons

flow back the other way.

A shock, spark or EOD charge can

come from any part of the body.

Though it takes practice

to make that happen.

Now for some safety tips.

Be careful when using

electrical products in the house,

such as toasters and telephones

[ANIMAL CALLING]

[SAVANNAH] Ouch!

Ouch!

Oh, Jesus!

I thought you were Veronica.

Sorry, I was just supposed

to feed the chickens.

It's f*cking stupid they

won't let us have razors.

[ELECTRICITY BUZZES]

Like we need 'em anymore.

If we really wanna hurt someone

Or ourselves

Let me know if you see

that dour old bitch coming.

She sees me doing this,

she'll take my phone away.

Again.

[THE VOICE] If she sees That's

what makes you special, baby.

Like the eels.

You can use your power better

than any of these girls.

In ways no one can see.

Uh, don't you gotta,

like, feed the chickens?

Oh.

Yeah.

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

[THE VOICE] Smart girl.

Metal conducts.

Dial it back.

Stealth mode, baby.

Remember the eels?

They use their electricity

to hijack their prey's mind.

Connect.

Try and make it walk.

[CLUCKING]

[CHUCKLES] Holy sh*t

[THE VOICE] Now make it peck.

Make it fly.

Girl, you know chickens can't fly.

[LAUGHS]

Now make it stop.

[VIBRATING]

[CLUCKS]

Oh, no!

Guess we're gonna have to work on that.

[SISTER VERONICA] Eve!

[METAL CLANGS]

[ROXY] Why are we here?

[BERNIE] We got one of the

men who m*rder*d your mother.

Drowned alive. That's all he

deserves for k*lling your mum.

So we're done.

Not really. There was two of 'em.

- Roxanne

- Well, what happened to the other one

- This is over, all right?

- the one that I hurt?

Dad!

Look, a man is dead.

where EOD has recently

been made illegal.

The country is not allowing journalists

in to report on the situation,

but I was able to sneak

in on a student visa

and I'm here to investigate

how the new law is impacting

the people of Saudi,

especially its women.

[DOG BARKING]

Girls are not allowed to do that.

Who taught you this?

[RANA] He's hurting her!

Girls aren't allowed to do this!

I'm sorry.

When will you understand, when?

Stop!

Why doesn't she hurt him back?

She's frightened.

- [GRUNTS]

No good comes from this electric curse.

Shame on you!

My poor darling.

Halla? You okay?

It's my Amal.

[SISTER VERONICA] This Power

What it will do to the world

This is the Devil's work, Maria.

No, it's not. It's not, Veronica.

People said that about television,

rock and roll, women wearing pants

This is different!

I don't trust Eve.

You don't trust any of them.

I don't think she's being

honest about who she is.

So what?

Jesus did not say clothe

the naked, feed the hungry,

but only if you have a valid ID.

She k*lled a chicken!

Veronica, we k*ll chickens all the time!

We eat them!

I have a bad feeling about her.

This girl This girl's gonna

make trouble. Mark my words.

I feel something different about her.

Something special.

Reminds me of you.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

She could lead.

[SISTER VERONICA] That's

what I'm afraid of.

What kind of influence will she be?

The second the storm passes,

tomorrow, she's out of here.

The good ones never let you stay.

[THE VOICE] You can stay if you want to.

You just have to own the place.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[TERRY] Shall we have drinks first?

[RICKY] I'll get them in.

'cause I'm an electrician.

You know, you wouldn't

understand the mechanics of it.

[TUNDE] It is awe inspiring to

see this Power, this new freedom

Being passed from one

outstretched hand to the next.

Now, across the world

A sleeping giant has been awakened.

Today will be known throughout

history as The Day of The Girls.

I'm getting rid of my

EOD as soon as I can.

No, you serious? We only just got it.

They took my daughter away from me.

Said I was dangerous.

That's bullshit, all right?

You haven't hurt anyone.

Even how I got it was bad.

Jason Wheelman, who's 26, FYI,

stuck an uninvited finger up my ass

and it's like he found an on switch.

Oh, sh*t. Okay.

I know.

You reckon if I root around up

there, I'll find an off switch?

No. Mm-mm.

You'll just get really shitty fingers.

Why do you reckon we got this thing?

It makes no sense.

Okay, come on, you really

think this was an accident?

A coincidence, just a chance thing?

Probably.

- Don't you?

- No, I don't really, come on.

They're all on TV like, "sh*t,

what did we put in the water?

What's in their tampons?

What did we do to

possibly make this happen?"

You treat us like garbage for

all this time and now here we are.

Here we are.

Look, we got it because we need it.

[SIMA] So, you think it's God, really?

[ALLIE] Maybe, I mean

maybe there is a God

and she just left us alone all

these years to figure out the, what?

Equality between ourselves?

And then a few weeks

ago she just thought,

"f*ck it. You had your chance."

And now she's like, "sh*t y'all.

I'mma have to step in with a little

something to even things out."

- [GIRLS LAUGHING]

- Go!

I think you're right.

[SAVANNAH] It's gonna be a

different world for my daughter.

[ALLIE] Already is.

We just gotta take it.

Thank you.

He won't even talk to me about it.

I think he's bottled it, you know?

I mean, there was two of them,

I told him there was two of them,

so why hasn't he gone after them?

[DARRELL] Dad doesn't

want any more trouble.

What, so he's just gonna

let them get away with it?

He's gotta take his time.

You want a drink?

I can deal with it. Why won't

he just let me deal with it?

All right, Billy Big Bollocks.

You don't think I could?

Just have a drink.

[CRACKLING]

Not in here, Rox!

Oh!

How much d'you give her, Terry?

Oh, for f*ck's sake, Terry.

My hands aren't going anywhere

near my cooch for a while.

Be just my luck to blast my foof off.

- [LAUGHS]

- That's what I'd be known for in life.

When I was a kid, my mum

used to tell me I'd go blind

if I even thought about

touching down there.

[LUANNE] Damn lies.

Kinda made me judge my grandma though.

She had glasses for reading.

[LUANNE] I wanna try it now.

- Roxy

- You gotta trust Dad.

- Why should I trust my Dad?

What has he ever done for

me? I'm not one of you, am I?

My mum isn't as important

to him as your mum,

so why the f*ck should I trust my dad?

- You need to calm down.

- Stop saying that.

- OK, I'm sorry.

- Dad likes you best, okay?

- No, he doesn't.

- [DARRELL] Yeah, it's true.

You're his favourite.

Is that why he's giving

the business to Ricky then?

Nah, he wants to protect you.

- I don't need protecting.

- [TERRY] Yeah, we know.

[DARRELL] Look, when we

get back, talk to him.

All right, but what you

gonna do about it now?

Why do you care anyway?

You're off to your f*cking

This was my friend's apartment.

The building's been empty for a while,

but we should be all right

to stay here for the night.

[CRACKLING]

[WOMAN CRYING ON VIDEO]

My sister's friend

is an American doctor.

I'm going to try to see if she can come

and drive you to the Jordanian border.

Hi, Nadya.

Can you hear me?

[SIGHS]

Hi, it's Ndudi.

I can't answer the phone

right now, but leave a message.

[DIAL BEEP]

Thank you, for all of this.

I'm so grateful.

And listen, if you need me to help

you get out of this place, I will.

You come here for 24 hours

and you know my country?

- Well, I've read about it

- You've read?

Wow. You're a top journalist for sure.

Last night, you guys were

here fighting for freedom?

I want change, yes, but

I'm not fighting to leave

I grew up in Jeddah.

My father sent me to Egypt as

a child, so I had an education.

I want it to be different, I want

all women to have what I have had.

But I love my country.

I'm I'm really sorry.

How do you feel when the

rest of the world tells you

what it's like to live in your

country, how unlucky you are,

even though they know nothing about it?

I find it a little bit irritating.

That's right, a little

bit irritating. [CHUCKLES]

Did you think you were going to save me?

electricity under my roof.

It's time for you to go.

You don't get to tell

us what to do anymore.

["FEMME FATALE" BY

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND]

[TUNDE] In Saudi Arabia,

for women all over the world,

it is the dawn of a new day.

New freedoms.

New privileges.

New abilities.

A byproduct of new Power.

But this liberation is

not without its costs.

It is a law of nature that for

every action, there is a reaction.

But we must all be

better than our nature.

For those of us committed to

the equality of all humanity,

it must be our mission to ensure that

the price of this new day

dawning is not too steep.

And I believe we can.

I believe in our inherent goodness.

I have hope in the bright

rebirth beyond this reckoning.

The minute you stepped

out in front of this thing,

you became the face of it.

God I don't even know who

you f*ckin' are right now.

Five minutes of fame

has gotten to your head.

You f*ck with my Senate,

I'm gonna run dust

with what's left of your career.

You saw first-hand. This

bell is not getting un-rung.

This power is real.

All the women were told to leave.

They said I could keep you.

[JOS] I just feel like

a hundred pounds lighter

and a hundred times stronger.

Because I have this thing in me.

Don't. Move.

All of you, sit the f*ck down!
