Hey.
[MARGOT] Hey.
Wake up. Happy anniversary.
[KISS]
Happy anniversary. What time is it?
[SIGHS] Early, sorry. I wanted
to get a run in before work.
[ROB] Hmm, so sweaty.
I have an insane day.
I wanted to tell you to
your face before you leave.
I love you.
Oh.
And tonight, we're going to drink wine.
- Oh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, and we're going to
talk about grown up stuff.
It's nothing to do
with work or the kids.
Oh, thank God.
And then we're gonna fuck.
We're gonna what?
- Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]
- Okay.
I I'll get rid of
the kids, and I'll, uh
I'll manscape.
[LAUGHS]
God, I love your plan.
But I love you even more.
- [MOANING]
- [ALARM BLARING]
- What?
- Oh, God.
- [MARGOT] Are you kidding me?
- [ROB] No, what the hell is going on?
- [MARGOT] What is going on, you guys?
- Come on.
- [ALARM CONTINUES TO BLARE]
- [FIRE CRACKLING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- Jos, what happened?
- Oh, God!
- Oh, my God. Are you okay?
- [ROB] Back off, back off!
- Don't touch me!
- I got it, I got it.
I got it, watch out. Move
back! Move back, honey!
[FIRE EXTINGUISHER BLOWS]
We got an alarm. There's a fire?
- Not anymore.
- We're okay. Thanks, Frank.
Why is the house screaming?
Jos tried to burn it down.
- Teenage girl hormone rage, probably.
- Shut up, Matty!
[ROB] All right, guys,
come on. Everything's fine.
We got it all under control.
Now get ready for school, we're
running late. Let's go, let's go.
[MATTY] What d'you mean everything's
fine? It's Chernobyl in here.
[MARGOT] Uh, that's a
little dramatic, Matty.
[YELLING IN SPANISH] Please, get
ready, we are extremely late, please!
I don't know.
[ROB SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
What's going on, honey?
We are not accusing you, okay?
If you left a spoon
inside, well, for that
I am not stupid, Dad!
I am not saying that, my love.
Can we speak English?
Honey, come on. Respectfully.
How long have we been married?
Twenty years and you
haven't picked up one word.
Didn't I get you the Rosetta Stone?
She hasn't the time
to learn our language.
She's too busy kissing
babies and cutting ribbons.
- Hey, hey.
- Oh, come on, come on, Jos, Jos, come on.
You can't talk to your mom like that.
Hey, what's going on with you?
[PHONE RINGING]
- It's Helen, I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
- [MARGOT] I'm sorry.
- That's okay, babe. It's okay.
This better be important.
[HELEN] The fucking world is on fire.
We need you here. Now.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[AIDAN] Emergency Services are
reaching their OT budget for the year.
[SIGHS] We need to hit up
someone with deeper pockets.
Um, will you set a call
with the Governor, please?
- All right, what else?
- Puget Sound Energy.
Blackouts, blown grids, fuse boxes.
They're saying it
isn't equipment failure.
I think we should get an outside
party to verify that. Please.
Another fire in Beacon
Hill, a family restaurant.
The Chief is saying
it's under control now,
but it spread to a
neighbouring apartment building.
Three dead, several
residents still missing.
Another teenage girl.
The family is insisting
it was an accident.
The father claims the
fire came from her hands.
Exact words.
Beacon Hill is predominantly
Chinese immigrants.
Is it possible that something
was lost in translation?
It's possible.
- You speak Mandarin, right?
- [LIU] And Cantonese.
I'm on it.
Okay. Kick ass.
You all kick so much ass. Thank you.
Everybody has their
marching orders, right?
[WOMAN 1] It's the
twelfth fire this week?
- [MAN] Crazy.
- [WOMAN 2] What the hell is happening?
[SIGHS]
Teen girls are setting shit on fire.
I'm not surprised, this
world they're growing up in
Yeah, I wish I could set
some shit on fire sometimes.
Fires, girls, the power outages.
I mean, y'think they're
somehow connected?
I'll look into it.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[LINE RINGING]
- Hey, Jos, I'm so sorry about
- [HANGS UP]
My mom. Can't she just
text like a normal person?
Have you heard about this weird
electric thing girls are doing?
I mean, yeah, kind of. Why?
What have you heard about it?
- I've heard that's what causes it.
- What, texting?
No. Girls, you know, messing
with themselves with vibrators.
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY] Um
Okay, well, I haven't
heard that one yet.
Uh, but you know what?
I have a test for World Civ,
- so I will see you later, okay? Cool.
- Oh. Okay.
Hey, Quinn. Uh, where's Cat?
Uh, probably ditching 'cause
of the test. Did you study?
Yeah, kind of.
I don't know, like a whole
chapter on the French Revolution?
Like, when am I actually
going to use that in my life?
I know, right? I'm
about to fail so hard.
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- [FIRE ALARM SOUNDS]
- Look at that. No more test!
- Oh, my God. So fire!
[BOTH LAUGH]
Hey.
This is Rob Lopez. He's
in charge of these trials.
Nice to meet you.
[LIAM] Dr. Lopez is going to take
a look at the marks on your arm,
if that's okay, Sara?
Sure.
So, Sara you okay?
Yeah.
Good, good, good.
Look, I'm sorry to hear about all
the difficulty you've been having,
but I really don't think that it's
it's anything that we
can't fix, all right?
And look, I know. I I
have two daughters at home,
and I know they worry about everything.
Okay, may I?
Okay.
[PAPERS SHUFFLING]
That's a lotta meds for
such a little body, huh?
Sara struggles managing big
feelings, especially when she's angry.
Right. And she's been diagnosed
with Intermittent
Explosive Disorder, huh?
Yeah, Sara didn't really
start having these problems
until a couple of years back.
- Did something happen?
- No, nothing that we know of.
Just the violent collision
with her nightmare teen years.
Trust me, I know all
about that. [CHUCKLES]
- I have one around her age.
- Mm-hmm.
- Except mine's 17.
- Mmm.
What does your daughter say when
you try to talk to her
about her feelings, huh?
Talk? Sara doesn't talk.
She screams. She hates
me. She hates everyone.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Okay, let's see. We got, uh
Depakote, Tegretol, Topamax,
Abilify, Risperdal, PRN phenobarbital.
- Wow.
- Yeah, we've tried everything.
But that's what caused the marks, right?
All the meds, and she had side
effects from them and reactions?
No. None of these medications,
even in combination,
could have caused anything like this.
I'm sorry. But, you see this, this
scarification pattern right here?
It's, uh, it's very distinct.
It's called a Lichtenberg figure
and it's uniquely caused
by electrical burns.
So has Sara experienced
electrical shock lately?
Maybe had an accident of
sorts that you're not aware of?
No. No, I I mean, I don't think so.
She would tell me about
something like that, wouldn't she?
Kellie, I'm sorry.
I know this is delicate,
but I'm going to have to ask.
Are you sure that no
one's been hurting her?
No. No. Not that I know of.
Just fights. Normal playground things.
With girls. With other girls.
[PAPERS SHUFFLING]
Right.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[VIKTOR SPEAKING IN ROMANIAN]
The streets of Carpathia are burning.
These fires are not accidents.
They are acts of vandalism and
anarchism. The perpetrators will face
capital punishment.
These are not just young
girls, they are terrorists!
As your devoted president, I will
restore law and order, God help me.
Fuck you all.
[CROWD SCREAMING IN ROMANIAN]
[ANNOUNCER] Later this
year, in October 1999,
the best gymnasts from 71
countries around the world
will come together in Tianjin,
China, which will set the stage
for the ultimate prize, the
coveted gold at the Sydney Olympics.
But first come the
national competitions.
And in Carpathia, a surprising
bright new talent is emerging.
It will mostly come down to
my performance at the trials,
which I should win easily.
I've been training since
I was two years old,
and I want to be the best.
I want to make my country proud of me.
And also my sister, Zoia.
[INTERVIEWER] And your mother?
Sure.
[ANNOUNCER] Already a darling
of the Carpathian press,
it's now a question
of whether she makes the
team for the Tianjin push.
[INTERVIEWER] Can you tell
us your name again, please?
My name is Tatiana Donici.
And I'm 15 years old.
[DIRECTOR] Cut!
[LAUGHING]
[DOOR SLAMS]
[WARPED CHANTING]
[CHIOMA] Boy, you're bold
to be showing your face here!
Hm. My daddy is going to kill you.
How is she?
[CHIOMA] How do you think she is, Tunde?
Please.
Jesus.
[SIGHS] Thank you.
[NURSE] All finished off.
Thank you, sir.
Look at me.
Ndudi
Look at me!
[SIGHS]
Do you know the trouble I'm in?
I'm sorry.
[NDUDI] My dad wants to
perform a deliverance.
Ndudi's parents said no visitors.
[TUNDE] I'm going to find
out what happened to you.
What this thing is.

[VOICE] He fucking deserved it.
[ALLIE] Our Father, who art in heaven
[VOICE] What has the
Father ever done for you?
No one's ever come to save you.
Since the minute you were born,
this world's done nothing
but kick you in the teeth.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[VOICE] It's time to stop playing nice.
And take what you need.
[AMERICAN NOW REPORTER]
please call 911.
[MRS MONTGOMERY] Clyde was a good man.
He gave years of service to the
Soul First Baptist Church. Years.
He didn't deserve to die like this.
[CHATTER ON TV]
[AMERICAN NOW REPORTER]
Police have confirmed
they identified 17-year-old
Allison Montgomery
as a key suspect in this murder.
And the public have been
asked not to approach her
as she is considered very dangerous.

[SECURITY GUARD] We're closing soon.
You new? I'm here to see my dad.
I'm Bernie Monke's daughter.
- Move.
- You can't bring that in.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Oi oi!
[TERRY] Madam, I'll be with you
in literally one moment, okay
Who the fuck is that outside?
You just head straight
upstairs to the right.
That's where he'll be, madam, okay?
Uh, how's that one?
What did the police say about mom?
Oi. You can't just come in here!
- We're working!
- All right, all right. I got it, I got it.
How're you holding up, love?
I want to find the
men who killed my mom.
I saw their faces. I can help.
All right, listen, Rox. Listen to me.
I'm I'm so sorry about what happened.
Now I know you miss her. We
all do. But Ricky's right.
This is a business and we've
got customers downstairs.
Was it your business
that got her killed?
Were they after you?
Payback or something?
No, no. They reckon it was a
it was a burglary gone wrong.
Stupid pricks. They picked the
wrong fucking house, didn't they?
They said the girl wasn't
supposed to be here, like
Like they knew who I was.
They could have been casing the place.
They must have seen
you coming and going.
I tell you what.
We'll look into it. All right?
Promise you.
I want them dead, Dad. I want
to be there when you kill them.
Oi, oi, oi, no one's killing anyone.
I'm handling this with the police.
This is a proper investigation.
Since when does Bernie Monke trust
the police to handle his business?
You don't think this is killing me?
I loved your mom. I am
taking care of everything.
But we have to be careful
because we got coppers everywhere,
and I don't need you doing
something stupid, little girl.
Do you hear me?
Right? Time to go.
Terry, show Roxy out.
- [WENDY] That's my boy.
- [BUZZER]
I know.
Well, he said Wednesday,
so I'm just sitting here
waiting for him to call.
Well, I don't know, Kaleigh.
Why did I think he'll change?
What kind of childhood
bullshit do I have to unpick
to be free from this arsehole?
[WENDY CHUCKLES]
Oh, God. Okay, look, I
gotta go. All right. 7:30.
Uh-huh?
I'd like to pawn this.
Well, now. This belong to something?
Came from a necklace.
Uh-uh. A necklace, you say?
Well, it's got some scratches on it.
[SIGHS]
I'll give you $100.
- That's a real ruby.
- And I said I'll give you $100.
[VOICE] Remember those eels?
They made the fish swim
right into their mouths.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I ain't giving my
money to no meth addict.
- That is
- Now, you walk.
I'm sorry. I get a little lightheaded.
- I'm donating blood.
- [WENDY] You do what now?
Blood. They pay $50 a pint.
- [WENDY GASPS]
- I forgot to eat my cookie after.
Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, sit down.
- Sit down.
- Are you sure?
Of course I am! Sit your
butt down in that chair.
Can I have something to drink, please?
- Well, of course!
- [BELL RINGS]
Oh, for goodness sake
[DOOR CLOSES]

You'll see.

You can have some juice.
You want a cookie?
Okay.
I'll be with you in
a minute there, Billy.
[BILLY] I'm just looking.
[ALLIE BREATHING HEAVILY]
You know, a real ruby like this,
I reckon it's worth more. About
$150.
Thank you.
[CASH REGISTER DINGS]
You make me look like a crazy person.
[VOICE] I'm just helping
you get where you need to go.

People are calling her a witch.
Mom, you know she's not a witch.
Tell that to her father.
[SIGHS]
[IN YORUBA] I don't
understand you anymore.
Hm?
that juju is dangerous.
Why are you messing with these things?
I wasn't thinking.
I I was following a story.
I'm sorry.
You need to fix this.
And do not talk about
this with your sister.
I don't want her getting any ideas.
[IN YORUBA] Do you hear me?
- I have heard, ma'am.
- Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[COMPUTER DINGS]
One of the interns found it. It
was posted by some kid in Nigeria.
Tunde Ojo. A vlogger
with, like, 12 followers.
Anyone with Snapchat can do this, right?
It's like filters or something.
God, it looks so real.
And you should see the comments.
They are filled with kids saying
that it's happening to them
or they've seen it before.
Electricity coming out of their hands.
[MARGOT] Hmm
All teenage girls?
From what I've seen, yes.
[SIGHS]
- Any word back from Governor Dandon?
- [HELEN] He's been in meetings all day.
Oh, horse shit. It's the Senate
Campaign. He's fundraising.
His assistant said he has a
private function for campaign
donors at the mansion tonight.
[SIGHS]
Fuck!
I guess that means I'm
going to fucking Olympia
on my fucking anniversary.
Can you please call Rob and let
him know I'm going to be late?
Sure. Oh, can you do me a favor?
Okay, Mary Poppins. What are these?
In case there's press at Dandon's.
We've got negative
feedback on those heels.
Too expensive.
These heels? That I paid
$800 for 'cause you said
- I needed to look more aspirational?
- [SIGHS]
I'm sorry.
The progressive base
is a fickle mistress.
[CHUCKLES]
These aren't too bad.
Okay.
Ah! Ow. They hurt.
You get what you pay for, I guess.
You know, Governor Dandon
wears $1,000 Ferragamos.
No one says anything.
Whoever's obsessed with my
shoes should get a fucking life.
[RAP MUSIC PLAYING]
How'd the World Civ exam
go, huh? How'd you do?
It was fine.
Fine, just fine?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're on point, Jos.
You're on point, Jos.

Oh, my God.
That that was the kind of music
I used to listen to when I was your age.
It was so cool to me
back then. Oh, my God.
You should, you should,
uh, check it out sometime.
I think you might like it.
'Cause these guys,
not only were they fun,
but they were socially conscious.
You know, woke woke
before even woke was a thing.
And the sampling, oh, my God.
It was everything. They
used world music, jazz.
I mean, I know I know everybody
samples now, but back then
[MUSIC BLARES]
All right, all right, I get
it. I'm a lame dad, all right?
I'll just drive and shut up.
[MUSIC CRACKLES]

- [JOS YELPS]
The fuck?
[TYRES SCREECH]
[ROB] Shit, honey.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
What the hell was that?
I don't know. Um, like a
static shock or something.
Jos, was that was that the same thing
that happened with the microwave?

I grew up around cars.

Jos, come on. It's not Disney on Ice.

[MARGOT SIGHS]
[MUSIC ENDS]
- Margot.
- Daniel.
It's late.
My office did call a lot.
[SIGHS]
- Oh, thanks.
- Let's take this into the study.
Sure.
Everyone, this is Mayor
Margot Cleary-Lopez.
Uh, sorry to interrupt.
- Deal you out, or deal her in?
- Uh, let's take five. I won't be long.
I can't believe in this shitstorm,
you're hosting a poker night.
Yes, with the guys who fund
your housing initiatives
and literacy programs.
That's politics.
Deals that change lives
sometimes happen at poker tables.
- Hard kombucha?
- Yeah, sure. Thanks.
So I got your messages
and I was going to call
you first thing tomorrow.
Now, what do you need from me?
First off, I need you to
answer the phone when I call.
I mean, we're in a state of crisis here.
There are a lot of fires
to put out, some literally,
but I think "crisis" is
maybe a little strong.
Oh, please don't do the whole
"Daddy Dandon's got
everything under control" bit.
I get that you want to manage
optics with the Senate campaign.
[DANDON] No, this
isn't about my campaign.
This is about you coming to my
house in the middle of the night,
screaming the "sky is
falling", and guess what?
The sky is always falling.
Because that's governing.
Now, how can I help you
do that more effectively?
My EMS services are tapped.
We need emergency funding.
Is there anything else?
Okay, um
I'm going to show you something.
And I I know it seems crazy,
right? But just just look at it.
Just watch.
See? I think everything
that's happening,
it could be connected
to whatever this is.
- Margot
- I know, I know.
That is a video on Yoozer.
Yes, and it's the only
thing that makes sense.
With all the reports we're getting.
You seem like you're
under a lot of stress.
I am stressed. My city is on fire.
Isn't it your anniversary?
Yes.
[DANDON] How long?
Twenty years.
Wow. That's impressive.
It's hard to find that
kind of balance in politics.
I will have a team
look into this quietly.
And while that happens, you
will wait patiently and quietly.
In the meantime, I will
divert the funding you need.
Thank you.
But, Margot, I say this as someone
who cares about you and your career.
Calm down, go home. Go
hang out with your husband.
Okay. You're right.
Thanks.
[DANDON] Hey, it's no problem.
You do this as long as I have,
you learn not to get your
panties all in a bunch.
My what in a what?
Hey. You know what I mean.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know exactly what you mean.
[DOOR SLAMS]
[MARGOT SIGHS] Shit.
Thems is the last of the Thai leftovers.
It was late notice, honey. I'm sorry.
You know, you know, I had
reservations at her friend's spot.
- I did.
- No, I'm starving, and this
This is really great.
Thank you so much, I'm
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry, honey.
French food gives me gas anyhow.
[CHUCKLES]
Hm. Where'd you get those flowers?
You know the neighbours'
barrel around the mailbox?
Their cat used to shit
in the kid's sandbox.
- So that's kind of fair, actually.
- [ROB] That's right. Damn straight it is.
- Ow!
- [ROB] Damn. What happened?
Apparently the Internet
hates my shoes and my face.
Don't touch it, don't touch it.
Let me get it, let me
get it, let me get it.
So how was your day, huh? Anything
fun or interesting happened?
Uh No. Nope, nope. I don't wanna
I don't want to talk about my day.
Okay, so what do you
want to talk about then?
Uh
Your manscape? Yeah, let's
talk about that, Dr. Lopez.
Okay. Okay, little mama.
- Here you go.
- [MARGOT] Oh.
Mmm.
No, you know what? We're
going to talk about your day.
No.
I don't want to. Why do we
have to talk about my day?
Because even with that
trying-to-be-cute thing
you're doing with your voice,
I can see that something's up, okay?
And you're bottling it, woman,
and if you don't let that shit out,
it's gonna explode
over the fucking place
and ruin our night, okay?
[MARGOT] Mm.
Sorry, sorry.
You know, I had this patient today,
this this poor teenage girl.
I mean, she was so full
of rage, it was crazy.
And they had her medicated till oblivion
and she was still boiling over.
I don't know.
This whole world seems like it's
boiling over these days, huh?
That's why you got to
let that shit out, okay?
I can't.
Even if my face looks too
angry for like one second,
I am emotional, irrational,
hysterical and totally unelectable.
Bullshit. This is our space.
And I'm your husband and I say
you can be angry here, okay?
So let that fur fly.
Come on, be fucking angry.
Okay.
There is shit going on in this
city. I'm talking real shit, right.
And meanwhile, in the age of cell phones
and text messages and
emails and Panogram,
I had to drive to fucking Olympia
to get his attention for two minutes.
- And then you know what he said to me?
- No, what?
He told me to not get
my panties in a bunch.
Whoa.
I don't like him talking about
my wife's panties like that.
You want to kick his ass?
- Wait, wait, you didn't?
- Well, I wish! I could have taken him!
Oh, I know you could. I know you could!
So, so what did you say? 'Cause I know,
I know you must have said something.
Nothing. Because I
am a woman in politics
and he gets to shit on me all day long
and I have to take it gracefully.
No, he's threatened by you, okay?
Because you're more capable,
more qualified than he is.
So he has to knock you
down and shut you up.
But you're not you're not
gonna let him win, are you?
Well, he already did.
Because all I wanted to do tonight
was have a nice meal
and fuck my husband.
Okay. Sit right there.
- What do you
- Wait, wait, don't. Here it is.
Here.
What? What is this? Like
It's a present, or
This is It's a wedding
present from your crazy mother.
[ROB] Mm-hmm. Break it.
Yeah, go ahead.
Smash it. I'm serious.

Oh, my God!
Holy shit. That felt
really fucking good.
Did it? Did it feel good?
- Whoo! Okay, I'm going again!
- [ROB] No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Just a sec.
Let me get the Ikea
backups, okay? No, no.
- You're crazy, I love it!
- Hurry!

It stinks of shit out there.
You can't be ambitious like that
in interviews, they won't like you.
You need to be grateful,
surprised they even noticed you.
But I'm the best, that's
why they interviewed me.
Dear God! Are you even listening to me?
Don't take so much,
your sister has to train.
Show some humility.
You're not a kid anymore.
- I don't work

This isn't about you!

You can't cartwheel

OK, OK, I understand,
don't be ambitious.
No! No!
Of course be ambitious, of course.
You must be ambitious
but you mustn't show
them you're ambitious.

[TATIANA] Dad died?
[BUNNY] Mm-hmm.
His heart?
[BUNNY] Mmm.

And not one of his daughters
attended the funeral.
I did it all myself.
Have you heard from Zoia?
Still nothing. Nothing
in all these years.
I know she returned all those
trinkets you tried to send her.
Ahh.
There is some feeling for your family.
- I knew it!
- You should go.
But I only just got here.
You need to leave. Ruslan!

God's sake, I am desperate.
Let me let me stay

I will help you as you helped
me all those years ago
Thank you.
