[ALLIE] I killed him.
The police. Someone could recognise me.
[SISTER MARIA] Your life was in danger.
You were defending yourself.
She'll find me.
Mrs Montgomery.
I'll go to jail.
I was looking for a sign today.
God showed me Luke 19:47.
Jesus was preaching in the temple.
The elders didn't like anyone
questioning the Scriptures.
Jesus cured them.
Same as you've done.
You have woken us up.
We are your sisters.
We will protect you.
More will come.
They wanna know the girl in the video.

[BOARD CLAMBERING]
So, are you really
gonna do it like this?
Are you trying to get out of this now?
The film crew's on the way.
Marg, I'm not talking
about the campaign video.
I'm talking about we saw
a guy light himself on fire
and die in front of us and you're
acting like nothing happened,
like we're all good.
But these things, they
don't just go away.
You have to talk about them.
Yeah, we have talked.
No, we talked to a
therapist about it, OK?
But you and me, us and the
kids haven't talked about it.
The kids are OK. The
psychologist signed off.
Margot, every time I close my eyes,
all I can see and smell
is that guy burning,
and all I wanna do is go back in time
and stop our kids from seeing it,
and I can't.
I know you, and I know
it's eating at you too,
and it doesn't help that
you're bottling it up.
I am fine, Rob.
The kids are fine.
There's a lot of shit
going on in the world,
and some of it I can fix.
I'm not gonna focus on the
one thing that I can't undo.
[SOMBRE MUSIC]
This is kind of a big day.
You with me?
- [SIGHS]
- [IRON SWOOSHES]
OK, so the crew's gonna be here soon,
and I just want us to remember
that they're here to
film us as a family,
so people can get to know us.
No need to be nervous.
Just be natural.
You know, just be you.
Yeah, totally organic.
Pay no attention to the men
in black sitting guard outside.
They're just here so the
crazies can't get to us.
You don't call them that.
What else am I supposed to call people
who literally light themselves on fire?
He was trying to make a point.
The future of the
human race is at stake,
- and by the way
- Are you fucking kidding me?
Urbandox is not
encouraging violence.
OK, he's just encouraging men to
stand up for their rightful place.
- Oh, my God. He's warping
- [MATT] Why don't you listen to him
- your feeble little brain.
- [MATT] before you just assume shit?
- What are you gonna do about the fact
- That's all you do.
that your son is being radicalised?
- Oh, shut up. I'm not being radicalised.
- All right, all right. Hey
- Hey, guys, guys, guys. Come on.
- What are you talking about?
OK, this is a big day for your mum,
so for the next few hours,
you're only allowed to
talk about food, camping,
and I don't know, funny things
your abuelita says. That's it.
Maybe, Matty, you could
change into a clean shirt.
I won't participate in this
farce, OK? I don't want you to win.
[ROB] Come on, that's your mum.
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
You're being a child. What
Mum is doing is important.
Can't you see that?
We can't have men deciding
what women do with their bodies.
What about men's bodies?
- What about my body? Look at my face.
- I already said I was sorry.
Mommy, when I'm older, will I get EOD?
Yep, sweetie, most likely you will.
OK, then I want you to win.
- [ROB CHUCKLES]
- No, no, Urbandox is right.
All you females stick together.
"Females"? You sound like a bigot.
Hey, champ, come on, come on, man.
Family means that sometimes
you gotta put things aside
for each other. Come on.
Maybe I don't wanna be
in this family anymore.
Oh, come on, you don't mean that.
Hey, he's just

General Zoia was put in
detention for six months
and deported back to Carpathia.
The police knew what was
happening and did nothing.
The men in the towns beat their wives
if they offered them more food.
For a time, females were a
viable currency, a resource.
[DECLAN] Look, I have to leave
for the palace in two minutes.
The system is broken and only
women can rebuild it again.
It's riddled with clichés, of course,
but you've got the exclusive.
Tidy it up, and I'll
get it to my editor.
[TUNDE CHUCKLES]
Enough to make a man
wanna get back out there.
Why don't you?
200 words on Gaddafi cost
me three pints of blood.
Gotta know when your luck is up.
I've been thinking of writing a book.
[DECLAN] Mm-hmm.
Chronicle EOD.
[DECLAN] Seriously?
Ever read any Mark Twain?
He said the two most
important days of your life
are the day you're born and
the day you find out why.
Can I come with you to meet Viktor?
Why?
Did Zoia tell you something?
Tatiana Moskalev and
General Zoia are sisters.
[DECLAN CHUCKLES]
[BOTH LAUGH]
- Brilliant.
- Yeah?
Brilliant. Come on.
Taxi's waiting.
- We'll say you're my photographer.

- We got one chance at this, OK?
The First Lady is never
left alone with the press.
If we do get to talk to her,
we'll have to pull a fucking
Houdini to get outta here.
Whatever happens, just stay calm
and let me do the talking, OK?
I know, Declan.

[CHIEF OF STAFF SPEAKING ROMANIAN]
- OK.
[TUNDE SIGHS]
After.
[CHIEF OF STAFF] Let me
introduce you to the President's
most senior advisor, General Miron.
General Miron.
The Palace has reviewed your questions
and made some small edits.
I work for serious news
outlets, not Hello Magazine.
We know who you are, Mr Blease.
Shall we?
[WATER SLOSHES]
- Happy birthday!
- [PARTY BLOWER SOUNDS]
- Hey.
- [ROXY LAUGHS]
Oh, thanks, Dad.
- [DARRELL] Happy birthday, Roxy.
- [BERNIE] Here, pop that.
[BERNIE] Yeah, it's a very special
one. You're an adult by law now.
- You fuck up, it's on you.
- Yeah, proper jail time.

- [WHISPERS] Sorry.
[CHAMPAGNE POURS]
What's this?
Open it.
[PAPER SHUFFLES]
- A third of Monke & Sons goes to you.
- [LAUGHS] I can't believe it.
Oh, thanks, Dad.
Yeah, you make a man
shit himself in a pool,
you got the rest of London
shitting themselves at home.
Stuff of legends.
- I'm driving.
- Don't be a cunt.
It's just what this family needs,
a bit of fear, a boost of reputation.
It's not all about bookkeeping.
Barbara's gonna throw
a party for you today.
- Really?
- Yeah.
[CLEARS THROAT] Bring
a friend if you like.
No one weird.
- I don't really have any friends.
- Oh, good.
[BERNIE] Right, a toast.
My daughter's 18 years old today,
and she's got everything
that she ever wanted.
What's the matter with you?
Just
My mum.

He makes breakfast on weekdays.
So when Saturday hits, you know,
this is our way of giving

Rob, what's your speciality?

What is my speciality? Um

- He makes Colombian dishes all the time.
- Yes, he is.
Um, like huevos pericos,

No, I am. I'm a photographer.
OK, I haven't been here very long,
but me and Mr Blease
[GENERAL MIRON IN ROMANIAN]
women took me to the villages
to dispense food and medicine.
The levels of poverty I saw in
this rich continent are shocking.
Hungry faces I'll
never forget. Suffering.
For the girls, under
Moskalev, in five years' time,
a fate like the rebel women awaits them.
I want answers now or
prison for both of you.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait a second.
There's been a
misunderstanding, General Miron.
I need to speak to my editor.
I think we've both been had.

deserve protection and justice.
If you want to put a
stop to the violence,
there's one choice for
the state of Washington.
Daniel Dandon is our only sure bet
for a return to normal.
A return to security.
This campaign was
endorsed by Daniel Dandon.
Hey. What you up to?
You shit posting on that fake
ass, lying capitalist mare again?
That expensive-shoed bitch
is like unseasoned chicken.
[CLEARS THROAT] I didn't
post the chicken one,
just liked it.
Oh.
Did your secret police dig that up?
Well, if by "secret police",
you mean my social media team, then yes.
And it was not difficult, Jos.
- What the hell?
- Sorry.
- I was pissed.
- Why?
You chose to be a public figure.
You chose that.
I didn't choose to be stared at
and to have to be perfect
in the public eye all the time.
You don't have to be perfect.
You are perfect.
Mum, like there was stuff
that I explicitly asked you not to post.
I just didn't like how I looked
in it and you posted it anyway.
I just, sometimes feel used,
like you're trying to sell an image
of our family for your work.
It sucks.
Wow, uh, I didn't
realise, but you're right.
[SIGHS]
I mean, you kids, you're
what I'm most proud of
and sometimes I wanna
share that, you know?
But, I would never wanna hurt you.
I wish you'd talk to me instead
of trolling me on the Internet.
- I'm sorry.
- OK, thank you.
I didn't know why you
were doing what you did,
but I get it now.
Have you seen what Dandon's been up to?
He's a new male-victim-of-the-week
and Clyde Montgomery from
Alabama seems like a total perv.
He's just selling him to the public like
he's a hometown hero.
It's so gross.
It's blatant fear-mongering
is what it is.
It's dangerous when he
targets all those girls' backs.
You have to stop him.
We will.
Sparkle fingers unite.
[FINGERS SPARK]
- Ow!
- Sorry.
That's OK.
[ROB] All right, both of you,
get your walking shoes
on and grab your jackets.
We're heading out in 15.
- [JOS] What?
- [MARGOT] Where?
Some place fun.
Well, I can't just
do a spontaneous trip.
I have to go over a speech.
And I have plans with Ryan tonight.
I don't care, OK? I don't care.
We need to spend time
together as a family,
as a real family, not a fake
family making fake breakfasts
and doing fake things
and we're starting it now.
OK, Izzy and Matty

Come on, it was a
dumb move, but come on.
Don't pile on the guy.
- He's gonna hate me.
- [MARGOT] No.
He's never gonna talk to me again.
Oh, my God, he's gonna end up in a lab.
- No.
- He should be in a lab.
- He's a fuckin' freak.
- Hey, hey.
I told you that is enough, Matty.
You one night incel dweeb,
I swear to God, I'll kill you.
[HANDS SPARK]
[GENTLE DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Perfect.
None of us are fuckin' safe.
[IZZY] Hey, Matty.
- Matty, where are you going?
- I have to warn Ryan.
So when were you gonna tell me?
- After the campaign.
- Jesus, after the campaign.
I didn't wanna have to force you to lie.
This way, it's plausible deniability.
Oh, come on, give me a break.
Hey, let's not forget,
you were the one who put out a leak
that jeopardized your career and
Yeah, but at least I
wasn't hiding shit from you.
You could've gone to jail
and destroyed our family.
And you did not tell me.
I didn't tell you, Margot,
that's all I've been trying to do.
I've been trying to talk
to you about the senate run,
about the goddamn press conference,
about the kids, about everything
and you just shut me out.
- I don't
- Forget it, forget it.
I gotta I gotta find Matty.
- [SECURITY GUARD] Sir.
- No, no.
Don't follow me.

[TOM] Washington State
governor, Daniel Dandon,
is bringing national awareness
to victims of EOD violence.
Our guest today lost her husband
to a brutal attack by
their own adopted daughter.
Mrs Montgomery has a
message for her daughter
she'd like to share.
[MRS MONTGOMERY] Allison, I
just wanna talk to you darlin'.
Please, call me.
[TOM] If you know the whereabouts
or have seen Allison
anywhere since February 27th,
we urge you to call the number along
the bottom of the screen.
Clyde Montgomery was
a good Christian man.
He was generous and
beloved by his community.
[SISTER VERONICA] I knew it.
[REPORTER] Governor Dandon
says senseless deaths
like these can be prevented
with deterrent legislation.
What are your thoughts
on this, Mrs Montgomery?
[MRS MONTGOMERY] It doesn't feel right.
[TOM] No, it does not.
[MRS MONTGOMERY] If Allie is out there,
she needs to be brought in.
Don't.
[THE VOICE] Make her stop.
Get your hands off me, Allison.
[THE VOICE] Make her stop.
Let me go.
[THE VOICE] Ideas are just electricity.
[SISTER VERONICA BREATHES HEAVILY]
[THE VOICE] Get inside her head.
[SISTER VERONICA GROANS]
[THE VOICE] Change her mind.
[SISTER VERONICA GROANS]
Oh.
Sister Veronica, are you OK?
- Oh.
- [LUANNE] What's happening? Eve!
[SAVANNAH] Sister
Veronica, what's going on?
[LUANNE] Sister Veronica.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[RICKY] All right five minutes.
[ROXY] Yeah, all right, just wanna
say hello to my mum's friends.
No fuckin' about, Rox. I mean it.
Will you just shut up? It's my birthday.
- You shut up.
- Shut up.
- Shut up.
- Shut up.
What are you even doing here? I
always do the pickups on my own.
Well, clearly, Dad thought
you needed some muscle.
You're not fuckin' muscle.
You're a stupid little girl.
- I wish you would die.
- [ROXY LAUGHS]
- Don't laugh at me.
- [ROXY] Get off.
Don't fuckin' laugh at me.
[RICKY GROANS]
Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.
- I'm sorry.
- Fuck! Get off me.
Look, just come in, right,
they'll sort you out.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER TV]
Happy birthday.
[MONTE] We miss your mum around here.
So, what did the police say?
Uh, burglary gone wrong, apparently.
What does Derrick think?
Who?
Your mum's boyfriend.
She said she was going to tell you to
- Oh.
- Derrick who?
- Derrick who?
- Derrick Reena.
Christina Reena, if
they ever got married.
Married?
- Why did you have to say that?
- [KASIA] Well, you brought him up.
[MONTE] Don't say the wrong thing.
[GRACE] Yeah, but you
didn't have to say anything.
[KASIA] I'm sorry.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[CHRISTINA] Roxy
Thank you.
Come on, Rox.
Roxy.
There's ten grand there,
enough to set you up.
- What are you on about?
- Just shut up and listen.
I never wanted you at my wedding.
Mum didn't either.
And then a week before Bernie says
it doesn't matter what we want
you have to come.
He wanted you there, Rox.
Out of your mum's house.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Oi, oi.
Don't tell me you never
asked yourself if it was him.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[RICKY] Hi, beautiful.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I never meant for you to
find out like that. I'm
I'm sorry.
So who gave it to you?
Jos.
Jos?
Wow.
Wow, you had my own daughter
just lie to me like that.
I screwed up, I know, I really
screwed up, but [SIGHS]
I took it 'cause I needed to
know what she was going through.
I couldn't just let her
walk that path on her own.
Oh, stop.
Stop, you took it because you
wanted it, because you want power
and that's all you really want.
Well, I wanna help people.
You just love the image
of yourself helping people.
God. After all these years,
that's what you think of me?
Margot, I don't I don't know
what I really think of you anymore.
You're like a stranger to me.
Look, I know I seem different.
I I I am different.
I didn't realise how much
this thing changed me
but I've
I have never felt so in my body before.
You know, so self-sufficient
and yeah, powerful.
I don't wanna apologise for that.
I want power, I want control and choice
and I wanna be a part of
something that matters,
that changes lives.
I mean
I can do things now that
I never dare dream about.
Yeah, I don't know why I
don't have all the pieces.
I don't understand how
all this fits together,
but I do know
my place in life
in this world, in
God, in this marriage
it's different now.
This is bigger than us.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I
didn't sign up for this.
But we did sign up
for partnership, right?
And that's still here,
we're still partners.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Rob.
I need you.
God, I need you. I need you
especially with this campaign.
I can't do any of it without you.
I know, I know.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Look, I'll stay with you, OK?
I'll stay with you
right through to the end.
But after election, I
I want a divorce.
Yeah. Yeah.
[TENT ZIPS]
[ROB] Close it, close it
[TENT ZIPS]
You think guys haven't
done shit to me, too?
To all of us?
But we don't kill people.
That's unhinged, Eve.
Allison, whatever your real name is.
My name was Allison.
Nobody knows my real last name.
My mum left me at a
Walmart when I was three.
She just walked out and never came back.
So 13 homes and 13 years
and a few of them weren't so bad,
but the good ones, they never wanted me.
Too screwed up, I guess.
I never said the right thing.
I couldn't find the words to tell
people what was happening to me.
Or to make them like me
or to get someone to save me.
So I just stopped speaking.
Almost six years.
I was as good as dead,
on the inside at least,
and then I felt this power in my hands
and a voice told me
it was time to fight,
to save myself.
I know now that voice, she was God.
What I did, I did with her blessing.
So fuck, yeah.
I killed that man and fuck, no.
I am not sorry.
[GIRL] Fuck, yeah.
Come on.
We're gonna judge her now?
Probably every single one of you
had to do something to survive.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.
I don't care what she did.
Eve healed me.
She baptised us.
She gave us a new start.
We're all reborn here.
Welcome home, Eve. Or should
we call you Allison now?
Eve.
Come here.
Yeah, I will.
Veronica, should we take these down?
A storm is coming.
[SISTER VERONICA] I I saw God.
God in light.
[SISTER VERONICA LAUGHS]
I saw light.
Light.
God in light.
Light in me.
Veronica, let's go inside.
[SISTER VERONICA CHUCKLES]

His name is Batzorig.
