[WOMAN] I just never thought
it would be like this, you know?
[CRYING] I'm almost 40.
Men treat me like I'm invisible.
I've given up on ever getting married
or even buying an apartment
because I've put all my money,
all my savings into IVF.
And I'm just so fucking tired.
[MOUTHING]
[WOMAN] My friends, they
silently pity me, I can feel it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
[SIOBHAN] Oh, no, she's the worst.
She's been coming here for a few years
and it's the same pathetic
share every single time.
I know, it's like, "I get it,
your life sucks, but"
- Maybe that's 'cause you suck.
- [LAUGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Do you want to grab a drink?
[SIGHS] I'd love to, but I have
an audition in the morning.
Ooh, exciting. For what?
Some "feminist" horror film
written by a man.
When are they gonna let us
tell our own stories?
When they're all dead?
Here. Put your number in.
Do you know Dr. Hill?
No. Who's that?
The best fertility doc in the city.
I'll text you his contact.
I-I actually really like my doctor.
Are you pregnant yet?
[CHUCKLES]
You're so nice.
There's nothing more important
than female friendship.
[ANNOUNCER] Please welcome
Academy Award nominee
You're gonna be okay.
The ambulance is here.
How did you know I would win?
[DEX] Are you okay?
[ANNA] What the fuck is he doing here?
You-you called him?
He is the baby's father.
You can ride with me in the ambulance,
but don't fucking talk to me.
[GASPS]
[SHOUTS]
[SIOBHAN] I'll meet you at the hospital.
[GRUNTS]
I'm so proud of you.

Which hospital are we taking her to?
Ma'am?
I need quiet in order
to drive the ambulance, sir.
I'm trying to help.
And you've been doing
a fantastic job of that so far.

Well, uh, I hate to tell you
Ms. Corbyn,

I hate to tell you, Dr. Hill,
but that's exactly how this will work.

I'm gonna send you every high-profile

Good morning, sister.

I knew it.
And nobody believed me.
Where is my baby?!
- Shh.
- Shh.
[EXHALES]
- [WHIMPERING]
- [SOFT LAUGHTER]
Hey, what's happening?!
Having trouble moving?
I brought your wheelchair, Ms. Alcott.
- I don't need that.
- Oh, I'm afraid you do. Look.
- [LAUGHTER]
- She paralyzed you.
In the T-10 vertebra.
- You'll never walk again.
- Here. Let me help you.
No, don't touch me!
Very well.
What did I do to deserve this?
- Ooh.
- Oh.
Look, there's that self-pity again.
"Wah-wah! Poor me".
You know exactly what you did.
You were selfish.
- Ambitious.
- Entitled.
- Conceited.
- Vain.
- [SONIA] Exhausting.
- In other words,
you were perfect.
Perfect for what?
[ALL] Our mission.
We recruit women
who want to have it all.
Career, marriage, motherhood.
We exploit that desire for what we need.
In your case, we needed
something extra special.
What?
- We'll show you.
- Oh.
One.
[ALL] Two. Three!
- Yes!
- Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
[NICOLETTE] We hung all
of these paintings for you.
We know how much you like them.
[LAUGHTER]
- [VOICE 1] Slut!
- [VOICE 2] Has-been.
- [WOMEN SCREAMING]
- [VOICE 3] Loser!
[VOICE 4] Cunt!
- [SCREAMING]
- [OVERLAPPING VOICES]
Make it stop!
Oh, it never will. [LAUGHS]
You drank the Kool-Aid, darling.
Or rather, the B-12 vitamins.
[NICOLETTE] And the gift bag of goodies.
And all those fertility shots
and progesterone suppositories.
And even my red lipstick.
And don't forget
the pickles and ice cream.
[SONIA] Why was the ice cream
in the fridge?
[NICOLETTE] Fuck you.
[SIOBHAN] Poor thing.
Don't you see?
This was all a part of the plan.
Welcome. At last.
We are so glad you're here.
How could you do this to me?!
Nothing has been done to you, Anna.
This is all being done for you.
I can't walk!
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, all right, that part's a bummer,
but that's also kind of on you.
You reneged on our agreement.
- What? No, I didn't!
- You promised us a baby,
and then, you tried to take him back.
Don't gaslight a gaslighter, babe.
[SIGHS]
Why are my hands like this?!
Because you've got blood
on them, dum-dum.
[IVY] Proverbially.
But don't worry, it'll go away.
[ALL] If you join us.
The women we target
always have a choice.
Join us and receive our gifts:
eternal youth, beauty and power.
Or not,
and wander the world
ugly, aging and alone.
Just like your friend Mavis Preecher.
And even though I had Nicolette
start stalking you in infancy
to implant all of the qualities
that we needed for you
to be pliant and perfect,
technically, you still
have a choice, too.
[OWL SCREECHES]
Welcome, Anna.
[LAUGHS] I know. Surprise.
My little spies.
And my greatest and longest fuck.
I only copulate with the most
depraved men I can find.
My Dexter, who was the conduit
of a miracle.
It shouldn't have been possible,
but 45 years ago
he was actually really hot
back then I conceived.
And I assumed the baby would be
a creature like his cousins,
but he was born human.
I made Virginia raise him as her own.
- What was she gonna say? No?
- [LAUGHTER]
- [CRYING]
- [SIOBHAN] And together,
we created the vessel that would give us
the most powerful creature of them all.
The baby you birthed.
[LAUGHTER]
[ANNA SCREAMS]
Your dead husband is my son.
And the baby you carried
is the product of his sperm and my egg.
He is three-quarters me. [LAUGHS SOFTLY]
I mean, we used to have to use
magic to make our creatures.
IVF produces miracles these days.
You're a monster.
Oh, no, babe.
I'm so much worse.
[BABY CRYING]
- [GASPS]
- [SIOBHAN] Somebody's awake.
Please, can I hold him?
Absolutely.
But if you hold him, you join us.
And if you don't want to, that's okay.
You'll just end up
like your friend Preech.
I mean, either way,
you'll always have him.

- He can't wait to meet you.
- He can't wait to meet you.
So adorable.

[GASPING]
[SIOBHAN] You killed my son.
You told me to.
[SIOBHAN] That was a test.
You were Abraham and he was Isaac.
[CHUCKLES] And what does that make me?
I killed the surrogate's
human twin for you.
I killed my own daughter for you!
So sweet. But not good enough.
Will she resurrect?
She doesn't need to.
But don't worry, ladies.
I saved the part of my son
I really needed.
I will be able to keep making
special creatures like him,
incubated in her, and in all of you,
until we fulfill our mission.
What fucking mission?!
Saving the world, stupid.
[LAUGHTER]
We're breeding creatures who'll grow up
to have super abilities.
[ASHLEY] Super strength.
Super swiftness.
Super ruthlessness. [CHUCKLES]
And viciousness.
Our creatures will restore humanity
to the greatness intended for it.
[SIOBHAN] And the ones made with my egg
and my son's sperm will be
the most powerful.
[ASHLEIGH] They'll be our Napoleons
deploying their brute brethren
to kill every man on the planet.
Except for the ones
we keep as sex slaves.
[LAUGHTER]
We'll finally have a matriarchy.
[ALL] Utopia.
It's not utopia if you have to
kill innocent people
to achieve it.
Sometimes you have to snap a few necks
to do what's right.
Men are responsible for
destroying our ecosystem
as we speak.
We'll never recover from the damage
- toxic masculinity has caused.
- [BABY FUSSING]
Our only hope is to wipe out
the tyrannical systems destroying us.
And implement a new order.
[SONIA] One of love and sisterhood,
not oppression and machismo.
It will never work.
Oh, it will.
[ANNA] According to you.
But who are you?
I am The Auteur, bitch.

the pickles and ice cream.
[SONIA] Why was the ice cream
in the fridge?
[NICOLETTE] Fuck you.
[SIOBHAN] Poor thing.
Don't you see?
This was all a part of the plan.
Welcome. At last.
We are so glad you're here.
How could you do this to me?!
Nothing has been done to you, Anna.
This is all being done for you.
I can't walk!
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, all right, that part's a bummer,
but that's also kind of on you.
You reneged on our agreement.
- What? No, I didn't!
- You promised us a baby,
and then, you tried to take him back.
Don't gaslight a gaslighter, babe.
[SIGHS]
Why are my hands like this?!
Because you've got blood
on them, dum-dum.
[IVY] Proverbially.
But don't worry, it'll go away.
[ALL] If you join us.
The women we target
always have a choice.
Join us and receive our gifts:
eternal youth, beauty and power.
Or not,
and wander the world
ugly, aging and alone.
Just like your friend Mavis Preecher.
And even though I had Nicolette
start stalking you in infancy
to implant all of the qualities
that we needed for you
to be pliant and perfect,
technically, you still
have a choice, too.
[OWL SCREECHES]
Welcome, Anna.
[LAUGHS] I know. Surprise.
My little spies.
And my greatest and longest fuck.
I only copulate with the most
depraved men I can find.
My Dexter, who was the conduit
of a miracle.
It shouldn't have been possible,
but 45 years ago
he was actually really hot
back then I conceived.
And I assumed the baby would be
a creature like his cousins,
but he was born human.
I made Virginia raise him as her own.
- What was she gonna say? No?
- [LAUGHTER]
- [CRYING]
- [SIOBHAN] And together,
we created the vessel that would give us
the most powerful creature of them all.
The baby you birthed.
[LAUGHTER]
[ANNA SCREAMS]
Your dead husband is my son.
And the baby you carried
is the product of his sperm and my egg.
He is three-quarters me. [LAUGHS SOFTLY]
I mean, we used to have to use
magic to make our creatures.
IVF produces miracles these days.
You're a monster.
Oh, no, babe.
I'm so much worse.
[BABY CRYING]
- [GASPS]
- [SIOBHAN] Somebody's awake.
Please, can I hold him?
Absolutely.
But if you hold him, you join us.
And if you don't want to, that's okay.
You'll just end up
like your friend Preech.
I mean, either way,
you'll always have him.

[SIOBHAN] You killed my son.
You told me to.
[SIOBHAN] That was a test.
You were Abraham and he was Isaac.
[CHUCKLES] And what does that make me?
I killed the surrogate's
human twin for you.
I killed my own daughter for you!
So sweet. But not good enough.
Will she resurrect?
She doesn't need to.
But don't worry, ladies.
I saved the part of my son
I really needed.
I will be able to keep making
special creatures like him,
incubated in her, and in all of you,
until we fulfill our mission.
What fucking mission?!
Saving the world, stupid.
[LAUGHTER]
We're breeding creatures who'll grow up
to have super abilities.
[ASHLEY] Super strength.
Super swiftness.
Super ruthlessness. [CHUCKLES]
And viciousness.
Our creatures will restore humanity
to the greatness intended for it.
[SIOBHAN] And the ones made with my egg
and my son's sperm will be
the most powerful.
[ASHLEIGH] They'll be our Napoleons
deploying their brute brethren
to kill every man on the planet.
Except for the ones
we keep as sex slaves.
[LAUGHTER]
We'll finally have a matriarchy.
[ALL] Utopia.
It's not utopia if you have to
kill innocent people
to achieve it.
Sometimes you have to snap a few necks
to do what's right.
Men are responsible for
destroying our ecosystem
as we speak.
We'll never recover from the damage
- toxic masculinity has caused.
- [BABY FUSSING]
Our only hope is to wipe out
the tyrannical systems destroying us.
And implement a new order.
[SONIA] One of love and sisterhood,
not oppression and machismo.
It will never work.
Oh, it will.
[ANNA] According to you.
But who are you?
I am The Auteur, bitch.

Yes, you did.

Not like this.
Motherhood is never
