Project Power (2020) Movie Script
MAN 1: Welcome,
my young entrepreneurs.
They say there are
no shortcuts in life.
They say nothing is free.
But I'm telling you right now,
the deal I'm going to give you
is the closest thing to free
you'll ever get.
You all heard the rumors.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.
Now's your chance to see it up close.
I give you the product for free.
You sell it.
Sounds too good to be true.
That's because it is.
MAN 1: We'll only be in New Orleans
for a little while,
so get out there and sell.
MAN 2: What's it called?
You ask a lot of questions.
Yeah, I'm Newt.
Newt.
This...
is Power.
(PHONE AUTODIALING)
(CALL RINGING)
FEMALE OPERATOR 1: Orleans Parish, 9-1-1.
WOMAN 1: My friend is having some
strange reaction right now.
She just took a pill.
MAN 1: This is what I'm telling you, man,
he lifted the freaking car over his head.
FEMALE OPERATOR 1:
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
MAN 2: I don't know how to describe this,
but I just seen some weird shit.

FEMALE OPERATOR 4: Nine-one-one.
(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
Power, power
Speak a little louder
If you got the time
I bet you I could spit for hours
Will be something so ugly
But I'm pretty as a flower
Hungry for that money
I'm coming to devour
Shower, dropping heavy bars
Up off a tower
Know I got that game
My people call me
Dwight Howard
I'm that kid
This Black kid, no cowards
Spit it so they get it
I'm embedded with the power
I'm embedded with the power
Ah
MAN 1: Bird!
Bird!
MAN 2: Come on, man.
There's no bird.
(WHISTLES MELODY)
We shouldn't even be here right now.
MAN 1: Bird!
Come on, bird!
MAN 2: You're not even listening.
MAN 1: All right, all right.
WOMAN: Say, bro,
let me see your hands.
Hands, now!
You don't got no gun.
WOMAN: You wanna find out?
Whoa. How much?
Five hundred.
MAN 1: Five hundred?
Are you serious?
WOMAN: Supply and demand.
You want it or not?
I wanna climb the walls.
WOMAN: That's not how it works.
You take it,
for five minutes, you get what you get.
(METAL CAN CLATTERS)
Instead of selling it to us,
why don't you just give it to us?
(WOMAN SCREAMS) Don't touch me! Get off!
MAN 3: Take that stupid mask off!
(CRACKS)
MAN 3: No!
(ALL GRUNTING)
(MAN 1 LAUGHS)
WOMAN: Leave me alone! Get off!
Get off me! Give me my bag!
Give me my bag!
- Stop! How many has she got?
- Just three.
But I bet this chick has more.
(MOTORCYCLE REVVING)
Gentlemen, on your knees,
hands behind your head.
NOPD.
I see we have a lady here, as well.
You too, ma'am.
Hands, very good.
Thank you.
Now, how's everybody doing tonight?
(DEVICE BEEPING)
You sure you want to do that, young man?
You ever taken one of those before?
You haven't, have you?
I can tell.
Now, I bet you've heard
it can make you fast, make you strong.
Make this a fair fight, even though
I got a gun pointed at your face.
Just twist it, Tommy.
(BEEPING, WHIRRING)
But that's only
if you happen to have a good Power.
Not everybody does.
Some people take it and just blow up.
- I don't wanna do this anymore, man.
- Shut up.
So the question is, what's your power?
Might be good, might be bad, nobody knows.
Take the pill, Tommy.
Take it.
Go ahead.
I wanna see what happens.
You boys are lucky
I only have one pair of cuffs.
I'd bring you all in.
You can go now.
(HANDCUFFS CLICK)
Go!
(DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE)
WOMAN: Man, you crazy.
MAN: You okay?
WOMAN: I had it.
That is not what I saw.
So what, you practice that in the mirror?
(MAN SCOFFS)
(LAUGHS) Yeah, you did.
I bet you had your gun out too.
Pointed at yourself, talking all hard
like you Clint Eastwood.
You don't know me.
Yeah, I do.
MAN:
What do you know about Clint Eastwood?
WOMAN: I know enough.
MAN: What you seen him in?
WOMAN: The Bridges of Madison County.
That's actually a pretty good one.
WOMAN: By the way,
it's 500 for that pill in your pocket.
The same stuff as last time?
- Yeah, what else it gonna be?
- I don't know.
Did you get it from the same guy
as last time?
Come on, you either gonna be a cop
or a customer.
It's not that simple.
Bad guys using this stuff
to take out whole precincts of cops
single-handed.
I'm just trying
to level the playing field.
Be careful with that.
Yeah, thanks.
- What do you think of the bike?
- It's an all right bike.
Well, you want it or not?
- I mean, I brought it here for you.
- You lying.
No, you said it was your birthday
the other day, right?
- That was a month ago.
- Okay then, you know what? Never mind.
- No, I mean, I want the bike.
- Yeah, you sure?
Yeah.
- Why the seat made out of duct tape?
- It was nicest one at the impound lot.
- It's mine?

MALE DJ: Good morning,
New Orleans!
I have a caller on the line.
Tell me exactly what you saw.
MAN: Man, I saw a kid running
down Poydras last night,
35 miles per hour.
(DJ LAUGHS)
DJ: Did you have a speed gun
on this guy?
MAN: Man, if the speed limit is 25,
he passed it down cold.
I'm telling you, he was on something.
DJ: Bruh, it sounds like
you might have been on something.
MAN:
Wayne, you can make fun all you want,
but I'm telling you,

There's videos.
I saw one the other day,
a kid jumped straight off the roof
of the casino and just walked away.

NEWT: Who is it?
Looking for Newt.
NEWT: I ain't ask who you're looking for,
I said, "Who is it?"
I understand that, sir.
I'm a friend of Simon's.
I'm from Tampa.
He sent me here to talk to you.
Maybe you wanna do some business.
NEWT: Come where I can see you.
Merry Christmas.
NEWT: You alone?
Aren't we all?
(COCKS GUN)
NEWT: Let me see your hands.
I got a box in my hands.
You wanna see my hands,
or put the box down?
What you want?
NEWT: Yeah...

- Which one? Box down, hands up?
Put the box down and get your hands up.
Okay, I'm with you. Box down.
NEWT: Yeah, just...
Now, slow, real slow now.
Yeah, slow, everything's slow.
If you want, you can call Simon.
He'll verify who I am.
Tell him that the Major's here to see you.

NEWT: Say, bruh.
I'ma go make that call.
You stay right there.
I wouldn't do that.
(GUN BLASTS)
(SHELLS CLATTER)
(COCKS GUN)
Newt.
I don't wanna hurt you.
I don't wanna hurt nobody.
Just need some information, that's all.
Tell me where you're getting this stuff,
and I'll get out of here.
(BUZZING)
You don't wanna talk?
All you gotta do
is tell me who your supplier is.
So what you think about that, Newt, huh?
We got a deal?
(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)
Once I get that information,
you can slither back to whatever hole
that you came out of, understand?

(TV CHATTERING)
ROBIN: And your prescription too.
The initial investigation
is indicating a home meth lab,
but we're gonna wait
until we see the full report
- before we make an assessment.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
MAN ON TV: It was deemed
unsafe years ago.
Isn't that where Newt hangs out?
Uh, I'm not sure, could be.
Text your cousin for me, baby.
That's a pretty big fire.
I'm sure he's fine, Ma.
WOMAN: Mmm.
ROBIN: On a scale of one to ten,
how bad is it today?
Seven, seven and a half.
ROBIN: I'm sorry, Ma.
WOMAN: Mm-hmm.
You gotta go.
(SIGHS)
Well, I'll come through
with your prescription
and your soup tonight.

(SMALL CHILD CRYING)
(PHONE BUZZING)
Hmm.
This is a major problem during pregnancy
known as FAS.
Birth defects caused by drinking alcohol
and using drugs while pregnant.
How do we prevent these birth defects?
(WHISPERS) Put that up.
TEACHER: Ladies.
I'm guessing that you're discussing
what the condition is called
when a child is exposed to alcohol
in the womb, right?
F... feeble alcohol syndrome.
(STUDENTS SNICKER)
Fetal.
But yes, correct.
Now, let's talk about prevention.
How do we prevent these birth defects?
No drugs, no alcohol.
(PHONE DINGS)
Simple.
It is the only form known as FAS...
(PHONE BEEPS)
(TEACHER CLEARS THROAT)
I know that you don't think
this stuff is serious,
you don't think it's important,
but it is.
Right now,
you're getting a D in this class, Robin.
It's an easy class.
(STUDENTS MURMUR, CHUCKLE)
Quiet.
So since you don't seem to be worried
about your grades or graduating...
you must have a plan, right?
So what is that plan, Miss Reilly?
Rap.
She'll rap.
TEACHER: I see.
Well, then,
why don't you get up and rap for us?
Make me believe that you've got a shot,
and I'll give you a C for the year.
(BEATBOXING)
Now what's the difference
Between a student and a teacher?
While one of them is growing up
The other's getting weaker
Is the criteria
For you to be a creeper?
Stalking the halls
In squeaky little shoes
Get you some sneakers
Get new kicks,
get a clue, get a hint
Get a friend,
get a life
Get a wife,
get a mint
And your teeth been looking yellow
Get an off-white tint
Never honor roll
But I'm on a roll like lint
Yeah, I see
I'm digging at your pride
You thought that you could hide
That the system is a lie
Wasn't built for me to thrive
It don't love nobody like me
Diplomas won't determine
Who I am or who I might be
So next time you tempted to pick on me
For a laugh
Skip theatrics and just tell me
I can get up out your class, bitch
(STUDENTS CLAMORING) Oh!
Yeah! That's my girl.
Sit down! Stop!
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Sit down.
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Sit down!
TEACHER: Put her down!
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Well, then.
You can give me that phone
or you can go to the office.
Let's get back to prevention, please.
There is no magic pill to fix it.
MAN ON RADIO: Reports of armed robbery
downtown near the Savings bank.
All available officers please respond.

Sir, what'd you see in there?
I don't know, I didn't see him.
He came out of nowhere.
It's like I was hit by a ghost.
By a ghost?
MAN: This is not right,
man, you gotta...
Yo, captain!
You can't just get...
Not now, Landry. Not now.
You can't just come and take my shit over.
MAN: What's going on?
Armed robber, multiple hostages,
the negotiator can't make contact.
Why aren't we going in?
Pretty sure our scene just became theirs.
You weren't down here ten minutes ago.
What is this? What do we do?
(DISTANT SIRENS WAILING)
This is wrong. I'm gonna remember that.
I'm gonna remember that.
MAN: What's all that?
We've been asked to stand down.
We're here in support now only.

Did you take a pill today?
Yes.
Put your gun and the badge on the table.
FRANK: Captain.
Gun and badge on the table, now.
If I hadn't taken that,I'd be dead.
- That what you want?
- I want my police force to obey the law!
There are no laws on this drug!
They don't exist officially,
'cause every time we try to deal with it,
some guys in suits show up
and tell us to stop.
Look, I don't know who those two were
that came in today
and cut you off at the knees.
I don't know
if they're feds or military or what,
but clearly,
they have you under their thumb.
And I don't think you like it.
'Cause they don't care
about the people of this city.
Not like you do,
not like I do,
and we know what happenedlast time
we were counting on guys in suits
to look out for New Orleans.
Now, you need to make me the bad guy,
that's fine.
But I'd be willing to bet
you know more than you're allowed to say.
Maybe we can work together on this,
unofficially.
And maybe we can do some good.
And isn't that our job?
MAN ON RADIO: Captain, suspect is
currently being removed from the premises.
CAPTAIN: Anybody finds you with that,
you didn't get it from me.
I'm told he's the source of Power.
We shut him down, we get our city back.
Who is he?
He's your get-out-of-jail-free card.
WOMAN: You okay, honey?
You need anything else?
MAN: No, I'm fine.
Hmm. Yes, you are.
So, can I get you anything?
You got any hot water?

He killed him.
Then he threw me in his trunk.
He's right outside.

Can I go?
(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)

You should stay right here.
This is the safest place for you

You Biggie?
I'm not Biggie.
Biggie works in sales.
This is distribution.

I don't want to talk to any middle men.

Nope.
(MAN GRUNTS) Ah.

MAN: Mrs. Reilly, do you want
your daughter to end up dead?
I already told you,
I don't know where she is.
She was supposed to be home hours ago.
What...
With all due respect, officer,
there's a lot of girls...
(SLAMS GUN DOWN)
MAN: This could get very ugly
for your daughter
and for you.
WOMAN: Are you sure it was her?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
MAN: Are you sure
you haven't seen this man before?
WOMAN: No, I told you I don't know
what you talking about.
MAN: That's funny.
We have surveillance footage
of your daughter with this man tonight
committing crimes
about five miles from here.
Are you sure?
This could get a whole lot uglier for you.
Honey, bear. Are we all out
of that one hippie shampoo that...
Whoa! What the shit's going on here?
Who the hell are you guys?
What you doing in my bathroom?
MAN: We're the police. Who are you?
Man, I live here.
Babe, I'm sorry I was in your shower.
The pressure's so much better in yours.
Can you come over here?
I'm really sorry
it had to happen that way.
Robin sent me.
Let me just handle these guys, okay?
Officers.
What precinct
did you guys say you're from?
They didn't say.
Sir, Mrs. Reilly and her daughter
seem to be the only residents
registered to this address.
I see.
So now because I'm not
in your little database, I can't...
(SNEEZES)
Bless you.
(SNEEZES)
Is there a cat in here?
I thought you said you lived here.
(CAT MEOWS)
Yes, I do, sir.
Is that so hard to believe? Why?
Is it because I'm white?
Are you assuming
that me and this beautiful Black woman
wouldn't be able to share a happy home?
You wanna say that on camera?
- Babe, where's your phone?
- Got it.
All right.
Well, let's just see about this.
And we are live streaming.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Now, let's just get this on record.
Honey, did either of these men
show you a warrant
when they came into our house?
No, they did not.
Uh-huh. And did either of them
show you a badge?
No! Can I see your badges?
Gentlemen.
Thank you for your time, Mrs. Reilly.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
WOMAN: I'm sorry, do I know you?
You got any duct tape?
Duct tape? What?
Stop! Who are you?
My name is Detective Frank Shaver,
NOPD.
Can I see your badge?
Well, I don't have it on me.
Where do you have it?
Mrs. Reilly, your daughter and I
have had a professional friendship
for a little over half a year now.
She's a very smart
and good-hearted young person,
but she is mixed up in some things
she shouldn't be,
and I am trying to help her.
Thank you.
I'm gonna need this too.
Where's yours?
MAN: So what's your power?
I don't even know.
Come on. You ain't tried it?
Honestly...
I saw a girl OD.
You know, on the streets,
they're talking about
how it'll give you superpowers,
but not about
how one hit could kill you.
Yeah.
Well, if you're so spooked,
why you still in the game?
What happened to getting good grades
and staying in school?
Yo, I wish I could get good grades.
Go to school, get to college,
get some fancy-ass job.
But I need money now.
Everybody need money now.
Well, my mother has diabetes now.
And we don't got no health insurance.
And she needs surgery, the expensive kind,
so what else am I supposed to do?
Oh, that's easy.
- What?
- Go to the Army.
- What, it don't trip you up killing fools?
- Yeah, it tripped me up.
But that was my skill set.
And what did the system do?
It took advantage of me.
But I know now I got to work the system
harder than it's working me.
That's what you gotta do.
You're young, you're Black,
you're a woman.
The system is designed
to swallow you whole.
You gotta find out what you do
better than anybody else and rock that.
So what you gonna do?
Hmm?
How you gonna leave your mark?
I rap.
(SNICKERS)
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Well, what's your rap name then, huh?
What you gonna be,
the next Cardi B?
Huh? Cardi C?
Well, go ahead and spit then.
You say you rap,
let me hear one line.
Huh? You can't spit one line?
I don't like doing it in front of people.
How you gonna to be a rapper
if you got stage fright?
You know what I think? Most time,
people don't wanna do something
is 'cause they're probably just wack
at it.
If you wack,
just say you wack.
Fine, give me a word.
Give you a word?
What you talking about?
ROBIN: I'm gonna go off the top,
give me a word.
Oh, you that good, huh?
Feline.
Feline.
I'm 'bout to make a beeline
And every single accolade for spitting
'Bout to be mine
I'ma go from old shit and goodwill
To design
I'ma be rocking Dior like Dion
I'm Celine
Or maybe I meantCline
I'm feeling really cuh-lean
Can someone tell them other boys
A real MC is coming, no humming
My name already chose a different bird
I killed your lil freestyle
Give me another word
Give me another word.
Seismograph.
Dude trying to trip me up
With his seismograph
I think it's funny
I can't pick a better time to laugh
I'll find the path
You don't know

The only thing that don't sit well
Within this mind
Is math

I keep it in because a guilty dog
Gonna bark the loudest
My mom's the proudest
I know that we can make it out if
We made it through a flood
I bet we gonna get through the drought
I may be little, but in these waters
you won't catch me drowning
One day I'll swim in all them
Dollar bills I'ma be counting
Ooh...
You smoked that.
All right.
You're good, damn good.
That's your power.
You take that, you leverage that,
you use your power
to take the system down.
All right.
And what's this?
You gotta take four of them.

Yeah, well, you a big dog.

So, this is your daughter, Tracy.
Yeah.
She look like you.
And you think that guy with the beard
took her?
You ever hear of Teleios?
No.
What's that?
Defense contractor.
They were the ones who cracked the codes
back in the day.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
Grabbed a bunch of Rangers,
put 'em all in the room,
filled them up with radiation.
Messed with their genes.
Tried to turn us into superheroes.
Why'd they wanna make superheroes?
They didn't.
Not really.
'Cause in the real world,
the power goes to where it always goes,
to the people that already have it.
Okay.
So, what's your power?
I know you took it.
I tried it once.
Damn near killed me,
hurt a lot of people.
So I said
I'm not trying that shit no more.
A few years later,
Tracy came along.
I knew she was different though.
When she was young,
she never got sick or anything like that.
As she got older,
she got stronger.
She exhibited symptoms of...
powers.
But she never had to take a pill.
Fetal alcohol syndrome.
If you got, like, beaucoup shit
in your system,
maybe it got passed down to her.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you hood, but you smart, huh?
(ROBIN CHUCKLES)
Anyway, when Teleios caught wind of Tracy,
they wanted to experiment on her
like they did on me.
And that's when we just took off.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Put your seat belt on.
- I got my seat belt on.
- No, you don't. Put your seat belt on!
Somebody's following us.

(MAN GRUNTING)
Yeah, that's my name right there.
MAN: Welcome to Project Power.
Over the last months,
we've been going from city to city
in a kind of a...
let's call them clinical trials.
Our footprint is small,
and we move on quickly
to avoid unwanted oversight.
Our goal is simple.
The next evolution of the human species.
That's where you come in.
With your financing, Teleios could become
the most powerful company in the world.
(CLICKING, WHIRRING)
What's in it for you?
It's in the headline.
Power.
Power to level the playing field.
Or, if you like, destroy it entirely.
Power to create chaos.
Power to renegotiate your reality.
One day, you won't even need a pill.
Pretty words.
Be more specific.
(WHIRRING)
Sure. Let me tell you
about my friend the little lizard.
A healer who can stitch himself up
and even regrow what he lost.
Hands, feet, eyes,
unfathomably complex structures.
The octopus camouflages herself
against the sea floor.
The wolverine frog breaks its own bones
to use as weapons.
They see in the dark,
they dislocate their bones.
They turn water into plasma.
They punch, they strangle,
they thermoregulate.
Evolution has given animals
countless abilities we can only dream of.
So much power, por favor.
All the genetic potential
hidden in our DNA
just waiting to be released.
(WHIRRING)
With your investment,
one day, a pill that lasts forever.
Stop wishing.
Start doing.
Find your power.
(IN SPANISH) And the death factor?
Results may vary.
But as we work to a compound
that we fully control,
we have the tank.
(VOICES CHATTERING)

(CAR HORN BLARING)
What you doing here?
Looking for you.

- Is she okay?
- Yes, she's okay.
Where's he?
I don't know.
Listen, don't bullshit me right now.
- I'm not.
- Are you protecting him?
- No.
- Why are you protecting...
This is a bad guy.
Why is he a bad guy?
Because he's done some bad things?
What about you?
You do bad things too!
That is almost a good point,
but the bad things that I have done...
He's just looking for his daughter.
Everything he's doing,
he's doing it for her.
- That sound like a bad guy to you?
- That's what he told you?
That's what I know.
Look, I'm sorry that you miss your dad,
- but he's telling you a story...
- Don't do me like that...
He's not here looking for his daughter.
He's setting up shop.
- You think he's the source of Power?
- Yes!
Well, he's not. He's trying to stop it.
Uh-huh. Okay. If that's true,
and by the way, I don't think it is,
but if it is,
then he should be helping me.
If it's not true, then he's lying to you
and he's dangerous
and I need to bring him in. Either way,
you should tell me where he is.

in the next 30 seconds,
your captain is gonna call you

to a different place, not the precinct.
(RAILWAY CROSSING DINGING)
But we're never gonna make it
to that place.

Why is that?
Think about what you've seen.

Why?
Local authorities on payroll.
Why?
And then your captain
sends out a single cop
to apprehend the most dangerous man
in the city. Why?
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLARING)

Because he's taking orders
from someone else.
And I can also tell you
that that van over there...
ain't delivering newspapers.
This what's gonna happen.
They gonna kill you,
and then they gonna take me.
Now, I'm okay
with that second part of this
if it gets me to my daughter sooner.
- What are they doing here?
- Doing field testing.
If they can stabilize it,
then they'll mass produce it.

about what's coming and what's going.
Take it.
You're the lookout.
It's an important role.
(SHIP HORN BELLOWING)
Testing, testing, testing.
ROBIN: I hear you.
You got a few guards with guns
right in front of you.
Yeah, thanks.
I think you should do
the Clint Eastwood thing.
I'm not doing the Clint Eastwood thing.
(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)
How's it going?
GUARD: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I got a meeting upstairs.
GUARD: Stay right there.
Okay.
You know who I am, right?
NOLA dock authority.
You know I don't care, right?
You heard of a harbor master?
That's my boss.
Now, if your bossdoesn't give my boss
ten thousand dollars,
this vessel's not going anywhere.
I guess that vessel's not going anywhere.
ROBIN: He's not down, Frank.
I think maybe you gotta go
with the Clint Eastwood thing.
Do it.
Come on, like you practiced in the mirror.
Well, I guess you just gotta ask yourself
one question.
Am I gonna be the guy
that makes a bad decision
to send the bag man home empty-handed,
make the boss get out of bed,
start raining hellfire
on whoever's responsible?
Or am I gonna be the guy
who makes a good decision
and get the hell out of the goddamn way,
so we can all get home
in time to watch the Saints highlights?
ROBIN: Yeah, Frank!
So what's it gonna be...
punk?
I'm the punk?
Oh, did I stutter?
Wait here.
ROBIN: I told you.
Pretty good, right?
Where's Tracy?
I'm just here for Tracy.
She's safe.
Come with me.
(GATE BUZZING)
GUARD: Hey, I got an answer for you.
Thank you very much.
MAN ON RADIO: Let's get him outta here.
(SHUDDERING)
WOMAN: I know you think
what we're doing here is wrong,
but do you know the name Henrietta Lacks?
Henrietta Lacks checks into a hospital
in 1951
to have a tumor removed from her cervix,
but the doctor
doesn't just take the tumor,
he also takes healthy cells
in the process.
ROBIN: Frank.
Wait, can you hear me?
Frank?
FRANK: Hello there.
(THUDDING)
(MEN GRUNTING)
WOMAN:
Those cells, stolen without her consent,
are the backbone
of nearly every medical advancement
in the last century.
All because someone took one look
at that woman
and saw her true potential.
Tracy's lab results are fascinating.
We're talking about permanent power,
the next step in human evolution.
(RADIO INTERFERENCE)
All of our greatest advancements
began in darkness, Major.
It's up to the pioneers to light the way.
ART: Well, you see,
that's the thing, Doc.
You not a pioneer.
You a drug dealer.
How about you take your science project
and you shove it up your mother...
(ZAPPING)
(GROANING)
MAN: Grab him. Get him out.
Take him below.
Salvage whatever genetic material you can
and flush the rest.
(HANDCUFFS CLICKING)

FRANK: Yeah, I know.
So what, you bulletproof?

Nicely done.
They're taking him below deck.
Sub level two.
Okay, so see here?
All the checkpoints
got their own security doors.
And if I press those two buttons,
the whole thing go on lockdown mode.
Yeah, that's like County.
So you're saying
you can open and close doors for me.
I mean, I think so.
Why?
FRANK: Stay here.
- Where you going?
- I'm going after Art.
You get in any trouble, you run.
You meet me at the front of the ship.
If I can get there, I will.
If I can't, then you keep running.
But there's like a thousand guards
out there.
But you know I'm awesome, right?
Well, go be awesome then.
It's about to get real noisy.
(ALARM BLARING)
Hey. Wrong way.
FRANK: I know!
Get me Wallace.
Is the Major secure?
Got eyes on him right now.
WOMAN: Get to ops,

On it.
Can you hear me, Robin?
Hearing and... seeing.
FRANK: Hatch 18.
(ALARM BEEPING)
FRANK: Merci "buckets."
I got you.
All right, where am I going now?
There's another door at the other end,
to the left, down the stairs.
Alpha 1 to ops.
Pop hatch 15.
Alpha 1 to ops.
Hatch 15, open it up.
ROBIN: Frank, we got a problem.
Let's go.
(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)
That big dude's coming this way.
FRANK: Which way?
My way.
- How quickly can you get us out of here?
- About 15 minutes until we can release
- from the dock, ma'am.
- You got ten.
Let's go!
You're almost there.
FRANK: Down here?
Down the stairs, last door to the right.
FRANK: Copy that.
Heading down to sub level two.
(CLICKS, BEEPING)
Frank, I think I found her.
Can't hear you, Robin.
(ROBIN, BROKEN AUDIO)
Frank, I know where she is.
FRANK: You're breaking up.
What'd you say you found?
- Something what?
- Tracy.
- What you say?
- You hearing me?
Robin, I'm losing you.
(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)

What's the most powerful animal
on the planet?
Shut up.
ART: Some people think it's the lion
'cause, you know, they big,
but it's actually the...
the pistol shrimp.
Little bitty guy, look harmless,
but hit you so fast,
it vaporizes the water around it.
Eight thousand degrees hotter
than the surface of the sun.
The shock waves,
rips the flesh right off the bone.
And when it's all over,
it's just Mr. Shrimp
sitting there, eating...
anything that's left.
Yeah, so?
So...
We get all these powers from animals,
right?
Guess what animal I got?
(DISTANT ALARM BLARING)
You made the right choice.
Smart man.
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Get the fuck out of here!
Gotta be honest,
I was a little disappointed
we took you without a fight.
Got a lot of dead friends because of you.
(MAN SCREAMS)

Something funny?
(COCKS GUN)
Don't move!

Tracy?
I'm Robin.

He came?
I knew he'd come.
(LOUD KNOCK)
(DISTANT ALARM RINGING)
WOMAN: All right,
I'm gonna check the other room.
No!
I want you on the deck now.
It's the only way
she can get off this damn ship.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
(ALARM RINGING)
WOMAN: All security personnel
should be on full alert.
The asset is missing. Multiple intruders.
I want a full sweep of the ship.
ROBIN: We gotta keep moving.
ART: Was that Robin I heard?
Yeah, she's in the control room.
I think she knows where Tracy is.
Hatch 16.
Robin, hatch 16.
(ART GRUNTS)
All right, we gotta get to the bow.
ART: Tracy?
FRANK: Robin?

What's going on?
I told her anything goes wrong,

TRACY: I missed you so much.

We gotta go.
You okay?
Let's get you out of here. Come on.

I love you, but there's no way
we're leaving her behind.

You did a great job.
You saved my daughter's life.
Now you listen up, Doc!
You got one chance.
You let her go, I let you live.

Did y'all hear about the two explosions
last night after the game?
The Coast Guard's saying
they can't find any sign of the ship,
and then,NOPD has absolutely nothing
to say about it.
ART: So what's next for you?
FRANK: Well, first I think I'll have
a long talk with my captain
then maybe find a journalist
looking for their next big story.
ART: You blow that whistle,

Well, let's see these assholes try to hide
when everyone knows what they're doing.
Let me ask you something.
You think this is really over?

Never busy
But her mind is occupied

My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours
Dance beyond the pain
To say the rain a cold shower
Gotta play the game to ascertain
What's your power
Okay, let me paint a picture
Of an A1 world
Villain is defeated
And the nerd gets the girl
Yeah, I used to fantasize
And let my thoughts unfurl
My mind was tangled as Rapunzel
Trade the locks for curl
Give a twirl
Tell me what I gotta dream for lately
I been all around the world
And I done seen more lately
I'm a beast, rule breaker
Clean up major
When I pull up on the scene
I put that pen to the paper
I change trajectory
Never can get the best of me
Spicy I got the recipe
All of my people next to me
Dare you to try and mess with me
I'm better as your friend
And not an enemy
Disintegrate your clique 'cause
What's a tick next to a centipede?
This crown is more dramatic
Than a pregnancy
I came into the world
And now they cannot put an end to me
I tried to make a dollar
But instead I made change
Now I see the bigger picture
Man, this life is so strange
What a range, but...
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power

What's your power
I used to dream of six figures
Like can they hear me?
I'm a sick spitter, Michelangelo
They making stick figures
Self-doubt, disfigured
Old bonds broken
Only gold records, man
No bronze tokens
Look at my story
Recognize I'm so chosen
Finally found a light, my fire bright
Lit out smokin'
Chuckle as the demons realize
They throat closin'
They hit 'em with a leg drop
Like I'm Hulk Hogan
The heavens wide open
My eyes are 20-20 for real, it's a flex
Adolescence taught me gotta hustle
And deal for a check
Afterward I seen I know the dream
'Cause it's real in effect
Even when feelings detect
Someone else dealing the decks
Somewhere on the journey we all bound
To get tired
When life get lower
We get higher
The roads are open
The views get wider
Live long, head strong
Shoulders, lighter
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours

This is a major problem during pregnancy
known as FAS.
Birth defects caused by drinking alcohol
and using drugs while pregnant.
How do we prevent these birth defects?
(WHISPERS) Put that up.
TEACHER: Ladies.
I'm guessing that you're discussing
what the condition is called
when a child is exposed to alcohol
in the womb, right?
F... feeble alcohol syndrome.
(STUDENTS SNICKER)
Fetal.
But yes, correct.
Now, let's talk about prevention.
How do we prevent these birth defects?
No drugs, no alcohol.
(PHONE DINGS)
Simple.
It is the only form known as FAS...
(PHONE BEEPS)
(TEACHER CLEARS THROAT)
I know that you don't think
this stuff is serious,
you don't think it's important,
but it is.
Right now,
you're getting a D in this class, Robin.
It's an easy class.
(STUDENTS MURMUR, CHUCKLE)
Quiet.
So since you don't seem to be worried
about your grades or graduating...
you must have a plan, right?
So what is that plan, Miss Reilly?
Rap.
She'll rap.
TEACHER: I see.
Well, then,
why don't you get up and rap for us?
Make me believe that you've got a shot,
and I'll give you a C for the year.
(BEATBOXING)
Now what's the difference
Between a student and a teacher?
While one of them is growing up
The other's getting weaker
Is the criteria
For you to be a creeper?
Stalking the halls
In squeaky little shoes
Get you some sneakers
Get new kicks,
get a clue, get a hint
Get a friend,
get a life
Get a wife,
get a mint
And your teeth been looking yellow
Get an off-white tint
Never honor roll
But I'm on a roll like lint
Yeah, I see
I'm digging at your pride
You thought that you could hide
That the system is a lie
Wasn't built for me to thrive
It don't love nobody like me
Diplomas won't determine
Who I am or who I might be
So next time you tempted to pick on me
For a laugh
Skip theatrics and just tell me
I can get up out your class, bitch
(STUDENTS CLAMORING) Oh!
Yeah! That's my girl.
Sit down! Stop!
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Sit down.
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Sit down!
TEACHER: Put her down!
STUDENTS: Robin!
TEACHER: Well, then.
You can give me that phone
or you can go to the office.

There are no laws on this drug!
They don't exist officially,

I don't know
if they're feds or military or what,

to look out for New Orleans.
Now, you need to make me the bad guy,

But I'd be willing to bet
you know more than you're allowed to say.
Maybe we can work together on this,

And maybe we can do some good.
And isn't that our job?

Mrs. Reilly, your daughter and I

She's a very smart

but she is mixed up in some things
she shouldn't be,
and I am trying to help her.
Thank you.
I'm gonna need this too.
Where's yours?

I don't even know.
Come on. You ain't tried it?

I saw a girl OD.
You know, on the streets,
they're talking about
how it'll give you superpowers,
but not about
how one hit could kill you.
Yeah.
Well, if you're so spooked,
why you still in the game?
What happened to getting good grades
and staying in school?
Yo, I wish I could get good grades.
Go to school, get to college,
get some fancy-ass job.
But I need money now.
Everybody need money now.
Well, my mother has diabetes now.
And we don't got no health insurance.
And she needs surgery, the expensive kind,
so what else am I supposed to do?
Oh, that's easy.
- What?
- Go to the Army.
- What, it don't trip you up killing fools?
- Yeah, it tripped me up.
But that was my skill set.
And what did the system do?
It took advantage of me.
But I know now I got to work the system
harder than it's working me.
That's what you gotta do.
You're young, you're Black,
you're a woman.
The system is designed

You gotta find out what you do
better than anybody else and rock that.
So what you gonna do?
Hmm?
How you gonna leave your mark?

Huh? You can't spit one line?
I don't like doing it in front of people.
How you gonna to be a rapper

at it.
If you wack,

I think it's funny
I can't pick a better time to laugh
I'll find the path
You don't know
all the rhymes I have
The only thing that don't sit well
Within this mind
Is math
Antibiotic.

Antibiotic.
I might need an anti-psychotic
I'm going crazy
NOLA made me
And this flow, I got it
I been about it
Even if my mental space is crowded
I keep it in because a guilty dog
Gonna bark the loudest
My mom's the proudest
I know that we can make it out if
We made it through a flood
I bet we gonna get through the drought
I may be little, but in these waters
you won't catch me drowning
One day I'll swim in all them
Dollar bills I'ma be counting
Ooh...
You smoked that.
All right.
You're good, damn good.
That's your power.
You take that, you leverage that,
you use your power
to take the system down.
All right.
And what's this?
You gotta take four of them.
This says for dogs.
Yeah, well, you a big dog.

I could navigate for you. You're going
to where the dots on the screen is.
I can take you there.

Why the hell would I pay you $10,000

So, this is your daughter, Tracy.
Yeah.
She look like you.
And you think that guy with the beard
took her?
You ever hear of Teleios?
No.
What's that?
Defense contractor.
They were the ones who cracked the codes
back in the day.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
Grabbed a bunch of Rangers,
put 'em all in the room,
filled them up with radiation.
Messed with their genes.
Tried to turn us into superheroes.
Why'd they wanna make superheroes?
They didn't.
Not really.
'Cause in the real world,
the power goes to where it always goes,
to the people that already have it.
Okay.
So, what's your power?
I know you took it.
I tried it once.
Damn near killed me,
hurt a lot of people.
So I said
I'm not trying that shit no more.
A few years later,
Tracy came along.
I knew she was different though.
When she was young,
she never got sick or anything like that.
As she got older,
she got stronger.
She exhibited symptoms of...
powers.
But she never had to take a pill.
Fetal alcohol syndrome.
If you got, like, beaucoup shit
in your system,
maybe it got passed down to her.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you hood, but you smart, huh?
(ROBIN CHUCKLES)
Anyway, when Teleios caught wind of Tracy,
they wanted to experiment on her
like they did on me.
And that's when we just took off.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Put your seat belt on.
- I got my seat belt on.
- No, you don't. Put your seat belt on!
Somebody's following us.

It's a private party. You got to roll out.
(MAN GRUNTING)
Yeah, that's my name right there.
MAN: Welcome to Project Power.
Over the last months,
we've been going from city to city
in a kind of a...
let's call them clinical trials.
Our footprint is small,
and we move on quickly
to avoid unwanted oversight.
Our goal is simple.
The next evolution of the human species.
That's where you come in.
With your financing, Teleios could become
the most powerful company in the world.
(CLICKING, WHIRRING)
What's in it for you?
It's in the headline.
Power.
Power to level the playing field.
Or, if you like, destroy it entirely.
Power to create chaos.
Power to renegotiate your reality.
One day, you won't even need a pill.
Pretty words.
Be more specific.
(WHIRRING)
Sure. Let me tell you
about my friend the little lizard.
A healer who can stitch himself up
and even regrow what he lost.
Hands, feet, eyes,
unfathomably complex structures.
The octopus camouflages herself
against the sea floor.
The wolverine frog breaks its own bones
to use as weapons.
They see in the dark,
they dislocate their bones.
They turn water into plasma.
They punch, they strangle,
they thermoregulate.
Evolution has given animals
countless abilities we can only dream of.
So much power, por favor.
All the genetic potential
hidden in our DNA
just waiting to be released.
(WHIRRING)
With your investment,
one day, a pill that lasts forever.
Stop wishing.
Start doing.
Find your power.
(IN SPANISH) And the death factor?
Results may vary.
But as we work to a compound
that we fully control,
we have the tank.

What you doing here?
Looking for you.
Your mom is worried sick.
- Is she okay?
- Yes, she's okay.
Where's he?
I don't know.
Listen, don't bullshit me right now.
- I'm not.
- Are you protecting him?
- No.
- Why are you protecting...
This is a bad guy.
Why is he a bad guy?
Because he's done some bad things?
What about you?
You do bad things too!
That is almost a good point,
but the bad things that I have done...
He's just looking for his daughter.
Everything he's doing,
he's doing it for her.
- That sound like a bad guy to you?
- That's what he told you?
That's what I know.
Look, I'm sorry that you miss your dad,
- but he's telling you a story...
- Don't do me like that...
He's not here looking for his daughter.
He's setting up shop.
- You think he's the source of Power?
- Yes!
Well, he's not. He's trying to stop it.
Uh-huh. Okay. If that's true,
and by the way, I don't think it is,
but if it is,
then he should be helping me.
If it's not true, then he's lying to you
and he's dangerous
and I need to bring him in. Either way,
you should tell me where he is.

You're the one in handcuffs,

What you're missing is
in the next 30 seconds,
your captain is gonna call you
and tell you to take me
to a different place, not the precinct.
(RAILWAY CROSSING DINGING)
But we're never gonna make it
to that place.
FRANK: Oh yeah?
Why is that?
Think about what you've seen.
Testing in New Orleans.
Why?
Local authorities on payroll.
Why?
And then your captain
sends out a single cop
to apprehend the most dangerous man
in the city. Why?
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLARING)
(PHONE BUZZES)
Because he's taking orders
from someone else.
And I can also tell you
that that van over there...
ain't delivering newspapers.
This what's gonna happen.
They gonna kill you,
and then they gonna take me.
Now, I'm okay
with that second part of this
if it gets me to my daughter sooner.
- What are they doing here?
- Doing field testing.
If they can stabilize it,
then they'll mass produce it.
So whatever's happening here
is gonna start happening everywhere.

they got the formula from?

one question.
Am I gonna be the guy

to send the bag man home empty-handed,
make the boss get out of bed,

Or am I gonna be the guy

(DISTANT ALARM RINGING)
WOMAN: All right,
I'm gonna check the other room.
No!
I want you on the deck now.
It's the only way
she can get off this damn ship.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
(ALARM RINGING)
WOMAN: All security personnel
should be on full alert.
The asset is missing. Multiple intruders.
I want a full sweep of the ship.

Yeah, she's in the control room.
I think she knows where Tracy is.
Hatch 16.

WOMAN: I want Tracy out here now!
Give me the pill.
ART: It's not gonna work on you.
- It's got to be me.
- No, Daddy.
- You know what'll happen if you do that.
- I will kill her, Arthur, right now,
right in front of you.
I love you more
than anything in the world, you hear me?
I love you, but there's no way
we're leaving her behind.
WOMAN:
All of you out of the boat, now!
(SCREAMING)
Look, if anything goes wrong,
you drop this boat down

ART: Let me tell you something, Robin.
You did a great job.
You saved my daughter's life.
Now you listen up, Doc!
You got one chance.
You let her go, I let you live.
This isn't a negotiation.
No.
It's something else.
I told you what was gonna happen,
didn't I?
Now you tell me...

MALE DJ: Good morning,
New Orleans!
Who dat say they gon' beat dem Saints?
Man, it went down in the Dome last night.
It was even louder on the streets.
Did y'all hear about the two explosions
last night after the game?
The Coast Guard's saying
they can't find any sign of the ship,
and then,NOPD has absolutely nothing
to say about it.
ART: So what's next for you?
FRANK: Well, first I think I'll have
a long talk with my captain
then maybe find a journalist
looking for their next big story.
ART: You blow that whistle,
ain't no going back.
FRANK: Yeah.
Well, let's see these assholes try to hide
when everyone knows what they're doing.
Let me ask you something.
You think this is really over?
For me, it is.
It's time to jet.
Hey, you.
Go to my truck.
Make sure you check the trunk.
You remember what I said?
There's something great inside you, Robin.

(WOMEN VOCALIZING)
Little Black girl from the South
Little Black girl run her mouth
Little Black girl don't know
Where to go
'Cause she like to clown
And the teachers stay kickin' her out
Insecure, but she won't
Say it out loud
All she wanna do
Is make her mama proud
She wanna be like them other girls
They in another world
She just can't figure them out
Round face, thick thighs
Full waist, bright eyes
She wonders if they'll judge her
For her size
She doesn't compromise
She's seen this world before
This child is wise
Never busy
But her mind is occupied
(WOMEN VOCALIZING)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
College had me stressin'
So, Father,
grant me blessings
Path I'm on is lonely
So, right now just help me
Feel yo' presence
Gimme royal bars
With the humility of mortal peasants
Pray that every I
Just stand for lesson...
I love you, Ma.
(WOMEN VOCALIZING)
I love you too.
MALE DJ: Man, I am about to beat
on your eardrums with this one.
It's the first single
from brand new MC Robin Reilly,
featuring Chika.
Let's go!
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours
Dance beyond the pain
To say the rain a cold shower
Gotta play the game to ascertain
What's your power
Okay, let me paint a picture
Of an A1 world
Villain is defeated
And the nerd gets the girl
Yeah, I used to fantasize
And let my thoughts unfurl
My mind was tangled as Rapunzel
Trade the locks for curl
Give a twirl
Tell me what I gotta dream for lately
I been all around the world
And I done seen more lately
I'm a beast, rule breaker
Clean up major
When I pull up on the scene
I put that pen to the paper
I change trajectory
Never can get the best of me
Spicy I got the recipe
All of my people next to me
Dare you to try and mess with me
I'm better as your friend
And not an enemy
Disintegrate your clique 'cause
What's a tick next to a centipede?
This crown is more dramatic
Than a pregnancy
I came into the world
And now they cannot put an end to me
I tried to make a dollar
But instead I made change
Now I see the bigger picture
Man, this life is so strange
What a range, but...
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours
Dance beyond the pain
To say the rain a cold shower
Gotta play the game to ascertain
What's your power
I used to dream of six figures
Like can they hear me?
I'm a sick spitter, Michelangelo
They making stick figures
Self-doubt, disfigured
Old bonds broken
Only gold records, man
No bronze tokens
Look at my story
Recognize I'm so chosen
Finally found a light, my fire bright
Lit out smokin'
Chuckle as the demons realize
They throat closin'
They hit 'em with a leg drop
Like I'm Hulk Hogan
The heavens wide open
My eyes are 20-20 for real, it's a flex
Adolescence taught me gotta hustle
And deal for a check
Afterward I seen I know the dream
'Cause it's real in effect
Even when feelings detect
Someone else dealing the decks
Somewhere on the journey we all bound
To get tired
When life get lower
We get higher
The roads are open
The views get wider
Live long, head strong
Shoulders, lighter
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours
Dance beyond the pain
To say the rain a cold shower
Gotta play the game to ascertain
What's your power
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power, power
My word is my
My word is my
My word is my power
Crazy with the skill
Believe me, I can go hours
Dance beyond the pain
To say the rain a cold shower
Gotta play the game to ascertain
What's your power
