Anya!
Anya!
Wish you could be with us!
It's so beautiful here!
Big kiss.
It looks great.
Count on me
on the next one for sure.
Have fun, guys.
It's all right
Wake up.
I can't believe
She's still mine
When I hear
Her voice talking
It's so sweet
I can't believe
She's still with me
And in the morning
I call her on the telephone
In the morning
I talk her out of a hole
(CAT MEOWS)
And in the morning
I wrap my arms
Around her tightly
And in the morning
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
I kiss her, oh, so softly
Come on
It's all about the morning
Hey.
Yes I was just watching it.
It looks beautiful.
What other video?
What?
NEWS REPORTER: We now move on
to the vicious killing
of two Scandinavian girls
who were camping together
in the mountains of Morocco,
a popular spot for tourists.
Moroccan prosecutors
stated that the attackers
pledged allegiance to ISIS,
in a video made
just before the killing.
There is video surveillance
of three people
setting up camp near to where
the victims were staying.
Morocco is a popular
tourist destination
with nearly 30 million people
from around the world
visiting annually.
A Moroccan official spokesman
stated this is an act of terror.

ROSS: That's far enough.
I'm sorry.
I think I have made a mistake.
ROSS: No one gets this far
by mistake.
You have made clear
your objectives
and we are willing
to take you seriously
and help you achieve them.
Are you?
(ROSS CHUCKLES)
You'll see.
We're prepared to make
a considerable investment
in someone
with your particular skills.
But you also have to help us
in certain regions
with our objectives.
What do you mean?
I'm not sure I understand.
Everything you need
is in that bag.
(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)
ROSS:
Most of the others are scared
and drop the poor little guy.
You'll find a passport
inside that envelope
with your new identity
under the name of Mya Snik.
Good luck.
And he just logged in.

GAYER: Smash the ball, bro.
You hit too hard.
(SIGHS)
Golf is not strength, but speed.
VANCE: All right.
GAYER: Come on,
let's do another one.
Now, keep your eyes on the ball.
Always keep your eyes
on the ball.
Imagine a beautiful ass
passing right in front of you.
Beautiful,
and now it's far.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
(SIGHS)
Keep your eyes on the ball.
Let's hit another one.
That's way better.
As soon as we start
talking asses, you understand.
(LAUGHS)
GAYER:
You know why it didn't go
as high as it should?
No, why is that?
'Cause you failed
to rotate your hips.
You play only
with your shoulders.
Okay.
GAYER: Golf is like tango,
you know?
It's all about the hips.
Tango?
Yeah.
Like tango.
Or like,
how to make a woman cum.
If you don't have
the right hip,
she's not gonna stay long.
Hmm.
So, give it a good hip kick
on the impact with the ball
and you'll see,
it'll go off on its own.
Interesting.
GAYER: Yeah.
(VANCE EXHALES)
That's way better!
VANCE: Bye, bitch.
GAYER: Whoo!
(LAUGHS)
(CELLPHONE BUZZES)
Yeah, hold on.
Yo, Hakim!
Hey, long time, bro.
VANCE: (OVER PHONE)
Dude. You know me.
Too much love to give.
Not enough takers.
Why everyone's gotta be
so patient,
I'll never understand.
Just fucking take
what you want,
you know what I'm saying?
Fucking go for it.
So, what's up, brother?
Pierre's organizing another
one of his parties tonight.
He'd love you to come.
Hell yeah, I'm gonna come.
Fuck, you have no idea
how much I needed this.
I'm in.
Yo, I gotta jet,
but I'll see you later,
all right?
I got a call from the label.
They're saying you're looking
at mid-eight figures easy.
And System Raping
is a hit on YouTube.
That is what I am talking about!
Fuck yeah!
Dude, thank you so much.
I could not have done
any of this without you.
Seriously, thank you.
I know.
VANCE: Nice. Fuck yeah.
You know,
I'm here for you at any time
for only ten percent.
Now, let's go.
Yo, so check this out. (GROANS)
My social media manager, Hakim.
GAYER: Yeah?
He's got this French friend
who organizes
these special parties.
And the best part about
special parties in Morocco,
is that I'm not going
to have to fork over a shitload
to a bunch of lawyers after.
What are you saying?
GAYER: Nothing. Just a joke.
(CHUCKLES) No, seriously.
I want to know.
Relax.
What did you mean by that?
Relax, relax.
I was just joking. Relax.
Let me make it up to you.
See those three girls
over there.
I'll bring them to you
on a silver platter.
Hmm?
You know that does make me
feel much better.
I know. Let me do the work.
You just have to relax
and be the superstar
that you are.
Fuckin' pansy-ass bitch.
GAYER: I'm Gayer,
really nice to meet you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
GAYER: Yeah, um,
he's a star, you know Vance.
KENZA: Really?
GAYER: Yeah.
So, you wanna come?
KENZA: Yeah.
RITA: Yeah.
RITA:
It's your first-time driving?
GAYER: Yeah. Believe it or not.
(SIGHS)
(WOMEN LAUGHING)
GAYER:
All right girls, let's go.
KENZA: Hey, Vance!
We're big fans.
Your friend, Gayer, said
we could take a picture
with you, do you mind?
Yeah, sure. Here, let me do it.
I've got longer, uh, everything.
(ALL CHUCKLE)
What's your name?
I'm Kenza.
And my beautiful friend
here is Rita.
She's absolutely crazy
about you.
(CHUCKLES)
VANCE: Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Um, we're so happy
to have you here in Morocco.
I hope you're enjoying
your time.
Oh, hell yeah.
You know what,
are you two doing anything
later tonight?
Not at all. And you?
No, I got a friend who's, uh,
making
a small little get together.
Would you
and your beautiful friend
like to come?
(CHUCKLES)
KENZA: Sure.
Yes,
I'd love to come, to the party.
Uh...(CHUCKLES) ...um.
(CHUCKLES)
We'll send you
a message on Instagram.
Yeah, wonderful.
Actually,
you know what, don't DM me.
I might not get that.
Why don't you just put
your number in here?
This is my very special
private phone
for very special people.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(ALL CHUCKLE)
All right.
Well,
I gotta get back to my game,
but, um, I will see you
two lovely ladies later on.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES)
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Fucking sexy as hell.
Bon apptit!
(KENZA HUMS)
(RITA CHUCKLES)
We got invited.
We got invited.
LILYA: What?
Oh, my God,
he invited us
to his private party.
And you said yes?
Of course, we did.
Who would say no?
(RITA SCOFFS)
Do you want
to get raped or what?
Oh, come on,
don't start that again.
(SIGHS)
And yeah,
I wouldn't mind getting raped
by a handsome man like him.
(CHUCKLES)
(SCOFFS) You're ridiculous.
Like to see your face
the day that happens,
God forbid.

You'll be facing

Booty's jiggling
Hold on, go on, fall down
She said that I'm her toy
I said you'd better be mine
Kissing and licking
And hissing and playing
With my .44
For her joy
Psycho wrecking
What am I feeling?

Po, po, po, po, po
But I ain't no

(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)
VANCE: Yo.
Sorry guys,
just give me a minute.
Yo Hakim, what's up?
Hey, buddy. Last night was epic.
Yeah, it was great.
Maybe next time,
something a little more
exclusive though.
You got anything in mind?
No.
Pierre's got all the hook-ups.
Fuck, Pierre.
Dude, just give me
some place out of the way.
And can you find me some girls
that like to get
a little bit freaky,
not those who think
that love is just a kiss
and a fucking selfie.
Yo, you know what,
my label's moving me
to a nicer area.
Why don't you just get
in contact with them
and find me someplace quiet,
ideally by a lake.
I may have the perfect place.
VANCE: Cool.
Yo, one more thing.
Can you find me
some better muscle?
I got the best one.
Terrific.
Yo, just send him to the hotel
this afternoon, all right?
I'll be by the pool.
Cheers. Yallah.
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
Hakim Aouzad?
Mya?
Nice to finally meet you.
Hey.
Pleasure is mine. Have a seat.
Hi.
Hi.
(HAKIM EXHALES)
Anything to drink?
I'll have a Moroccan tea.
(SPEAKS ARABIC)
The city is absolutely gorgeous.
Is the whole country like this?
Overall yeah,
but we still have a few people
living in the past.
Anyway,
what drew you to Morocco?
I'm a teacher.
Hmm.
Teaching what?
Math.
So, you wanna see the souk?
The mosques?
Not exactly.
I would like to see
the other side of Morocco,
connect with the locals a bit.
You came to the right guy.
I got all the secrets here.
You know what I really
want to see?
Tell me.
Waterfalls.
It's a bit of a trek.
Perfect.
You'll tell me about
all the secrets on the way.
Or instead we can go
to my friend's lake house.
I bet you like jet ski.
Hike in the woods
sounds perfect.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(BOY SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(MAN SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
HAKIM: Okay.
MYA: You're a very busy man.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I need to handle this.
Some of my clients
are pain in the ass.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's okay. I don't mind.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(ALL SPEAKING ARABIC)
Excuse me?
There is no toilet paper
in the bathroom.
(MAN SPEAKING ARABIC)
Use your hand, bitch!
Good idea.
Why're you screaming?
(MAN GROANS)
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(MAN GRUNTING)
And that's what happens
when you harass a girl.
What's up?
There is no toilet paper.
Let's go.
(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)
Hakim, tell me.
What?
On my way here,
people were staring at me
like I was a ghost.
I'm sure I'm not
the first blonde woman
they've ever seen?
No, it's not about that.
What is it then?
You don't wanna know.
Try me.
Well, not too long ago,
two Scandinavian girls
that looked like you
were killed while
they were camping near here.
The killers were local,
known to have extremist views.
Everybody was shocked.
So what happened?
(SIGHS)
Those bastards filmed
the murders, dropped it online,
and, uh, it was embarrassing
for the whole country.
Did you see it?
What? No!
I want to go there.
Go where?
Where they were killed.
Why? It's just--
I just do, please.
Whatever.
It's on the way anyway.
PAXTON: Hey, you ready?
As I'll ever be.
He's in his office waiting.
PAXTON: How are the kids?
BOURDEAU: Great. Yours?
PAXTON: Expensive.
So, we got just the Director?
Got to warn you,
Ross might be there today.
BOURDEAU: Ah, great.
Yeah, he's always
in a particular mood, isn't he?
Yup, he is.
Yeah.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
DIRECTOR: Come in.
Sir. Agent Ross.
What do you have for me,
Bourdeau?
I've got a blonde
and beautiful bombshell
pretending to be a blogger.
I got a long list of grisly,
unsolved murders,
all men, all misogynists,
who all end up dead
in all the places
that she visits.
Pardon my skepticism, but, um...
h... how many thousands
of travelers happen to be
in the same country
as a murderer?
And you think
this is all the same person?
Not just the same person.
The same woman, Agent Ross.
(CHUCKLES) Agent Bourdeau,
this is ridiculous.
Wait a second. I know her.
That's Doctor Akula.
Let me check her feed.
Has she even been
to Afghanistan?
Yeah. Four months ago. Why?
My husband works
for Medicines Sans Frontiers.
Four months ago in Afghanistan,
all the men
in the village were poisoned.
This claiming to be
from Doctors without Borders
actually went on TV
and blamed it on the local NGOs
who had been defrauding
the US government
for development money.
So what?
So, when they checked
their records,
there was no Doctor Akula
working
with Doctors without Borders.
Hmm.
(SPEAKS ARABIC)
PAXTON: And you know what else?
Akula isn't even a name.
It's the Russian word for shark.
All right, pardon me again.
I have seen the data
of almost every unsolved
cross-border-related homicide
that this agency has access to.
And I'm gonna say it again
I've never seen anything
so ridiculous in all my life!
Sir, I've been working
on this case
on my own time for months.
Listen Ross, I get that
this is a stress for you
but this one is a hit.
She's actively hunting down
internet trolls
that promote
the murder of women.
This is easy enough to resolve.
Where's your suspect now?
Morocco.
Okay, pardon me.
And this-- You're right.
This can be easily resolved.
Morocco has one of the lowest
homicide rates
in the world, right?
Average one-point-four per day.
Let's just see how many murders
have been committed in the area
she's blogging from
in the last, say, 48 hours.
ROSS: See?
One in Casablanca.
None in the mountainous area.
At least none reported
to Rabat headquarters,
which would be highly irregular.
(COMPUTER BEEPING)
Okay. Get together
what you have.
I want a full report
in ten minutes.
You got it.
(CELLPHONES CHIMING)
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(CELLPHONE DINGS)
Sir. Yes, sir.
I'm on my way.
Good morning. Hey.
JAWAD: Hey.
What happened?
Islamist scum.
They killed Kamal
and Nourdine.
Lasri?
No, Ayoubi.
Good.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
SELMA:
It's pretty bloody in here.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Any suspects?
After the victims were ID'd,
you were my first suspect.
Well, maybe you should have me
take a polygraph test,
you know just to be sure.
It has to be the work
of Islamists.
Both of them
were not exactly pious,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Come on.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(SELMA SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Vroom, vroom!
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
from American movies.
That's very good.
Anything else you wanna tell me?
You sure?
Swear?
CAPTAIN: Make sure the place
is completely sealed off
and don't touch anything
until the detectives arrive.
Double homicide, huh?
I want you
to take care of the case.
Why? It's Selma.
I understand
she is your partner
but given what happened
with the last
and the previous case
involving those two,
I am concerned she may not be
particularly invested
in getting justice
for the victims.
Captain, with all due respect,
I worked that case
alongside her the whole way.
She did everything
by the book and more.
She made sure
all the witness testimony
and the physical evidence
was properly presented
to the court.
It's not her fault
if the judge had more sympathy
with the rapists
than the victims.
She should have known better.
Sir, I promise you,
I will be with her
the entire time.
I have as much confidence in her
as you have in me right now.
She's the best detective
in the region.
If I see anything suggesting
she's not doing her work,
I will let you know.
You have my word.
I admire your loyalty, Jawad.
But if this goes national
I will not hesitate throwing
you both under the bus
if this means
the reputation of our precinct.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Interpol is already
on their way.
Interpol, sir?
They are tracking a suspect
who is wanted
for other crimes abroad
whom they believe
to be in the area.
Needless to say,
international interests
will kill us after
what happened last time.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, sir,
but perhaps
a little international attention
is exactly what will bring us
back into good favors.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
MYA: So, what is the plan
for tonight?
Actually, Vance Wilhorn
is organizing a party
and he is a friend of mine.
Isn't he on trial
for raping women?
Ah, he say
they're just gold diggers.
And you know what?
He's not my friend.
I just work for him.
Doing what?
Social media stuff.
You know the lake house
I'm talking about?
Mm-hmm.
It's his.
I would love to meet him.
You will.
He is known to get pretty wild.
I heard.
This lake house,
is it far from here?
About one hour by foot.
Our suspect, female Caucasian,
early thirties, Russian descent.
She keeps a motorcycle-themed
travel blog
across several social media
platforms.
She's targeting young men
between the ages of 16 and 30
who are often
in online hate groups
glorifying violence
against women.
She often kills
in the same fashion
as these videos posted online.
I know what you're thinking.
She's probably doing us a favor.
Taking all these scumbags
off the streets,
but the fact remains,
this is a serial killer.
It's making a lot more difficult
to track these
online hate groups.
I believe she's been tracking
a particular Facebook friend
of the recently deceased,
Sam Sandman,
who's sharing videos online
of the two Scandinavian tourists
that were murdered.
I'm sure you remember that.
The gentleman
on the left is Hakim Aouzad,
who's recently convicted
of possessing
pornographic material
and extortion.
It's likely
that that's her next victim.
Do we know
any of her other profiles?
She's currently in Morocco
under the name of Mya Snik.
Incidentally, Mya Snik,
in Russian means "Butcher."
Any others?
There is one alias
that keeps coming up
again and again
with all the alleged victims.
And that is?
BOURDEAU: All of the victims
attributed to the suspect
had images of their own
murders posted online
with this online content.
ROSS: What does the number mean?
We don't know.
Well, looking
at where some of the victims are
it looks more like
a country code or an area code.
Does this mean
that she's just telling us
where she is
or that there is more than one?
BOURDEAU: We can't count
on anything at this point.
Ah, you're gonna have to...
(CHUCKLES)
I just think this all sounds
pretty circumstantial.
The idea of a secret network
of misogynist-hunting,
serial-killing women?
Sounds more
like a paranoid male fantasy
if you ask me.
DIRECTOR: You should see
my ex-wife
when she gets together
with her girlfriends
after a few bottles of wine.
That's exactly my point.
Every one of you in this room
is divorced
and sees your ex as the devil.
I can say for myself
I have wished men dead
many more times
than I can count.
Is that right?
What? It's completely normal!
Men all over the world talk
about killing women everyday
and do they it?
Well, most don't.
Why do you think we would?
Ninety-five percent
of violent crime
is committed by men
and most of that
is against other men.
You should be afraid
of yourselves not us.
You know for once
I'm in complete agreement
with you, Agent Paxton.
This is a complete waste
of the agency's time
and resources.
I want each of you all
to start scouring websites
that promote violence
towards women.
If you find any comments
from moderators
deactivating accounts,
cross-check them with local
homicide investigators.
These people use VPNs
that use VPNs that use VPNs.
This is nonsense!
Bourdeau, book two flights
to Morocco
before I change my mind.
Two flights?
DIRECTOR: Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Stay behind Ross.
Are you holding something back?
What? No.
It was just,
you seemed a little...
you seem a little burnt out.
Is it too much time
behind a desk?
Yeah, maybe you're right.
I don't know why you left
the US to come and join us,
but we are really grateful
to have you here.
Well, you know,
analyzing data
to help cops catch criminals
seems a lot more important than
creating algorithms
for short sellers
and hedge fund managers.
Look, Bourdeau can be
a little unorthodox,
so just make sure
he follows protocol, hmm?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
HAKIM:
Do you always travel alone?
Always.
Aren't you afraid?
Not all men
are nice guys like me.
Most men are harmless.
They just like to bark a lot.
Are you a feminist or something?
MYA: (CHUCKLES) Not at all.
HAKIM: Mya, huh?
What's your family name?
Snik.
HAKIM:
Is it Danish or something?
Russian.
(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)
This is where it happened.
(SIGHS)
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Are you okay?
You look
like the girl in the picture.
Was she family or something?
Is that why
it was so important for you
to come here, right?
I can't imagine
what you must be feeling.

Can I take a picture with you?

She's my baby
She looks so good
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
I know she loves me
Just like she should
She says this feels good
To hear me say
I almost lost you
On the way
You want a bump?
All I want is you.
You'll have all of me, baby.
Tick, tick
No reason, fake fake
I wanna make, make
You're my lady and my only
Oh, she's all mine
She's all mine
She's the one and the only
Oh, she's all mine
(CHUCKLES)
She's all mine
She's making me crazy
I want a rim job.
What?
I want you
to eat my ass.
Hey!
What?
No.
Eat my ass.
Come on.
No.
VANCE: That's how I like it.
Vance, come on! Stop!
You know-- What are you do--
Are you kidding me?
No!
What the fuck! Come on, just--
What the fuck is wrong
with you, goddammit!
(SARA GRUNTS)
What's wrong with you, bitch?
You fucking serious with me?
I just told you
to fucking eat my ass.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
(BOTH GRUNT)
Ow! What the fuck!
Are you serious?
SARA: No!
VANCE: Bitch!
SARA: Leave me! (GROANS)
VANCE: You want some--
Oh, we gotta fucking get it now.

Stop, Vance!
Stop!

Baba.
Did you hear?
Hear what?
Kamal and Nouredine.
No, what about them?
They were found dead.
Murdered in the cafe.
Lasri?
SELMA: No. Ayoubi.
Oh, it's not a great loss.
Who did it?
The guy thinks it's Salafists,
but I have my doubts.
And what is your theory?
SELMA: It's not a theory,
it's a feeling.
This woman, this terrorist,
she went into the cafe.
And there was some
sort of argument.
It's not much to go on,
I know, but--
A good cop always follows
his gut.
Remember what happened
when I ignored it?
Two innocent ladies end up dead
and all the nation
wanted me to join them.
SELMA: Baba, you have to stop
blaming yourself for that.
You were made a scapegoat.
Everyone knew
the same thing you did.
And no one
would've ever thought
that those sheep fuckers
would've done
something like that.
Doesn't matter.
We knew they were talking
about it for months.
I was the chief of the police
and I didn't act.
I'm sorry.
For what?
If it was not for me,
you would be colonel by now.
If it was not for you,
I'd be a fat djellaba mom
with eleven kids
somewhere on a farm.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, your mother hated me.
I probably killed her.
Sugar and diabetes killed her.
No one would ever say
you're that sweet.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
You expecting someone?
No.
Let me go see who it is.
Hey.
SELMA: Hi.
How's your dad?
I mean, since he lost his job,
he's not the same.
Hmm. (INHALES DEEPLY)
You don't think
it's Islamists, do you?
I mean even if it's Islamists,
that woman is by herself
in the woods with a stranger
and I just wanna go
check on her.
Yeah, I also thought
about what that kid told you.
I think your instincts
could be right.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)

MYA: Hakim!
Hakim!
Hakim!
(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Who's that? Hakim?
Yes.
You just hung up
on him like that?
Yes.
VANCE: Isn't he your boss?
No.
Okay, so what? You just
drive me around for free?
Okay, forgive me,
but you don't strike me
as the charitable type.
Wait, what is he...
is he blackmailing you?
(CHUCKLES)
Something like this.
Has video of me doing business.
What kind of business?
None of your business business.
Look, this doesn't make
any sense.
What are you talking about?
Hakim is my bro.
He wouldn't blackmail anyone.
Yes, he would.
He is going to do same to you.
Very soon.
He pay a bitch.
Then he put secret cameras.
And after... he will fuck you.
Fuck!
I'm such a fucking idiot.
Yes.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(CELLPHONE BUZZING)
(GRUNTS)
Yo, what are you talking about?
Who?
Yo!
Okay, so I don't understand.
Why don't you just, you know,
in your own special way,
persuade Hakim
to delete the video
that he has of you.
He's not stupid.
He stored the video
in different cloud.
Not his. Maybe yours.
Sneaky little rat.
The cloud.
Did you have admin access?
Yeah.
I told him that he could
handle all of that shit.
Good.
You find my video
and you delete it.
And then... I will delete Hakim.

I had nowhere else to go.

MYA: You have a friend
in Florida, Sam Sandman.
Yeah, he died.
MYA: He took a great pleasure
in sending
the clip of the murder
to their parents.
Their fucking parents.
And he wasn't the only one.
I don't know any of this.
MYA: Of course, you do.
You're the one
who sent him the video
from a website
you own and operate.
HAKIM: No, no, no, no,
it's not my website.
It's Vance's.
I mean I sent the video,
but not to glorify shit.
He... he likes sick things.
I didn't mean anything.
Liar!
It's the truth.
I manage a lot of websites.
Some of them are cats
in funny clothes,
accident cars,
but I... I don't own them.
MYA: Your friend Sandman...
(GROANS)
...I deactivated him
for violating the terms

Supermodel shows up in town.
Twelve hours later,
we have five dead bodies!
Never seen in history.
MYA: It's just the beginning.
Why here? Why them?
Why this senseless killing?
The girl they raped,
what happened to her?
How do you know about that?
If you knew about the rape,
why were they not arrested?
They were arrested.
I arrested them myself!
MYA: And?
SELMA: And she was known
to go out with men for money.
These men were well known
by the community
and the court sided with them.
What happened to the girl?
She killed herself.
And the other girl?
SELMA: What other girl?
There's no other girl.
There is always another girl.
You know exactly
who I'm talking about.
(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING)
ROSS:
There might be a complication.
BOURDEAU: What do you mean?
The man in the photos
with your suspect, Hakim Aouzad,
he operates one of the websites
your Doctor Akula
may have been using
to target her alleged victims.
We... we know this already.
It seems he is in the employ
of a much bigger fish.
Vance Wilhorn.
Mr. Wilhorn is wanted for rape
in seven different countries.
"Vacationing" in Morocco
to avoid excessive
media attention
during the trials
according to Page Six.
BOURDEAU:
So, what are you telling me?
(SCOFFS)
What I'm telling you is
if you want to get your girl,
you better move quick.
You don't think the agency
is gonna wanna lose out
on the opportunity to bring in
the world's most beloved
serial rapist, do you?
Just the kind of attention
the Director's looking for
if he's hoping to gain
his next budget's quarters
increases approved.
That's what I love about you,
Ross.
Your passion for justice.
(MOCKING SOUNDS)
What... what's going on?
We've apprehended the suspect.
Wow, looks like
you might be in luck.
One thing I know
about this chick,
she doesn't stay put
for very long.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
MYA: When did it happen?
The academy... classmate.
And no, I filed a complaint,
but I didn't press charges.
Because--
SELMA: Because...
he would have made my life
way more difficult,
and he would have killed
my father.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
I was a stenographer
at a youth court in my country.
Every day, all day, every case.
Rape. Sexual assault.
Aggravated rape.
Aggravated sexual assault.
They were all minors.
Rich. Poor.
Educated. Uneducated.
Always insisting
on their innocence
even when the evidence
was irrefutable.
Ninety percent of all rapes
never get reported.
And those that do
don't even make it to trial.
And aside of their crimes,
they were perfectly normal,
perfectly nice boys.
Not monsters.
Sons any mother
would be proud of.
The worst is that the court
generally felt that way, too.
The laws are designed
to protect male property.
If the victim lived
with her father or was married,
the punishments
were always severe.
If she didn't... (CHUCKLES)
...not even a slap on the wrist.
Once I realized that...
(CHUCKLES)
...the numbers just started
jumping out at me everywhere.
Ninety percent of rapists
are men.
eighty percent
of serial killers are men.
Ninety-seven percent
of mass shooters are men.
Ninety-four percent
of pedophiles are men.
Eighty percent of assaults
are by someone
known to the woman.
Family. Friend.
Neighbor. Co-worker.
(CHUCKLES) And as you know
from your own experience...
classmate.
(SCOFFS)
The law considers you
property of a man.
How can you
in clear conscience respect it
or obey it?
Do you really want
to spend your life
failing to help women?

(GUNSHOTS)

BOURDEAU: I know what happened
to your friend.
I know they shared
those videos to her family.
I know what you're feeling.
But you can't kill anyone.
You can't take justice
into your own hands.
No!
(WHISPERS) We can't...
we can't talk about anything.
Just you go with me
that's all I'm asking.
And just...
(WHISPERS)
Okay, please have a seat.
Where is she?
I'm gonna check in
with headquarters.
Officer Battal here
has offered to give us
her official statement.
Of course, I just wanna get
everything on record
while it's still fresh
in my mind.
ROSS: Yeah. So, you said
that Victim 1, Hakim Aouzad,
well, was fatally stabbed
by Victim 2, Moh El Khadr.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Correct.
ROSS: Uh, Hakim Aouzad
was the one responsible
for killing the two men
at the cafe.
Is that correct?
Um, yes.
Uh...
And you believe this is why
Mr. Moh murdered Mr. Aouzad?
Yeah, absolutely.
Now, at this point,
Mr. Moh...
tried to kill
the missing suspect,
because she was a witness.
Correct?
Correct.
ROSS: And at this point,
you intervened?
Yeah.
ROSS: Right?
Mr. Moh disarmed you,
and somehow in the struggle,
you broke his neck?
SELMA: Um, the victim
was already quite fatigued
from the fight, um,
with Mr. Aou... Aouzad.
You actually believe this shit?
Will you please-- This--
She's not a suspect here.
She's not a suspect.
Really? Are you kidding me?
Are we on the same team here?
ROSS: This is-- What--
I can see it in her eyes,
she's covering for her.
Okay, I'm gonna ask you
one more question.
Why did you arrest her?
(SCOFFS)
Have you seen her?
She's a Russian prostitute.
What? Bullshit!
SELMA: It's really hard
for me to admit this,
but I got caught off guard.
She knocked me down.
And by the time I woke up,
she was already gone.
ROSS: Thank you.
We really appreciate you
taking the time for this
and again, I'm very, very sorry
for your loss.
You know there's no way
that you single-handedly
killed that man.
And no, she's not a prostitute.
SELMA: But--
She's a serial killer.
Agent Ross
has my full statement,
Agent Boudoire.
It's Bourdeau.
Look, if you'll excuse me,
I had a really long day
and I just lost my partner.
You know she's gonna kill
again, right?
I have no doubt.
(ROSS CLEARS THROAT)
(SELMA CHUCKLES) I don't know
why you're helping her.
She was--
Inspiring.
You trying to get fired
or arrested?
Some people,
my partner for example,
are purists.
They believe
you have to do bad things
to make the world
a better place,
everything becomes tainted.
We descend into anarchy.
Bless them...
but I happen to disagree.
Feel free to contact me
if I can be of any further help.
BOURDEAU:
What are you guys talking about?
Tajines.
BOURDEAU: Tajine?
ROSS: You hungry?
I can't wait to try
one of them Moroccan Tajines.
Mrouzia with the ras el hanout
has 20 different spices.
You got your meatball tajine
with the tomato sauce.
You got your fish tajine
with the chermoula
tagra marinade.
Oh, and I can't wait
for the chicken.
Chicken is made with saffron,
and ginger, and garlic,
bit of cinnamon
and, uh, topped off
with a bit of dried apricots.
Mm-mm!
SELMA: Vance?
Samira.
My friends call me "Sam."
Sam? Oh shit.
I have to admit
I wasn't expecting
someone so, uh,
elegant.
Usually, the website curators
I've hired in the past
have been chunky little nerds
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
who couldn't get a girlfriend.
Kind of pathetic type.
So, what happened
with your web curator?
He met a woman. Moved on.
I see. Anybody can find love.
Yeah, I hope so.
(CHUCKLES)
What about you?
You, uh, got someone special?
SELMA: Oh.
Two.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
So, what kind of content
will I be managing?
I don't even know
what kind of business you do.
I'm very versatile.
Versatile, huh? (CHUCKLES)
I like that.
Listen, some
of the content is...
Well, I wouldn't want it
being handled by a woman.
I mean, obviously
you're very qualified,
and professional,
and all of that.
And some of the websites
that I operate,
they... generate me
a lot of money.
But some of the stuff, I...
I can't even look at it myself.
And I just can't imagine
a beautiful
and sophisticated woman
like you...
No.
I'm sorry.
I think I have wasted your time.
(SELMA CHUCKLES)
I think you're being
a little sexist.
I mean, business is business.
And I don't care
what kind of content it is.
I'll help you manage it.
Drive up the traffic.
No.
You don't understand.
Some of it is very extreme.
You know what?
Let's just order another round.
Enjoy the music.
As I said before,
I'm very versatile.
I know a lot of people.
And I'll be more than happy
to help you find...
other opportunities.
Vance.
I can call you Vance, right?
Yeah, of course.
Don't be ridiculous.
This might be
a little personal, but, um...
I like extreme things.
Like, shocking things.
No. It isn't like that.
But I definitely like to hear
more about your...
extreme tastes.
Well... not every villain
is sugar and spice, Vance.
I wanna see it.
Some of it is very violent.
(CHUCKLES) I hope
you aren't a feminist.
As long as it doesn't happen
to me, I don't care.
VANCE: Do you have
your computer?
No, I didn't think I'd need it.
Do you have yours?
Yeah.
Wait. (CHUCKLES)
I thought you said
this was extreme.
I mean, if it's extreme,
don't you think we should
watch it somewhere
a little more private?
Yeah.
