[indistinct police radio chatter]
Hey, we're not gonna hurt you.
What's your name?
[Desjardin] I want you to say hello
to Carrie White.
I'm Sue, by the way.
- Be nice to her, okay?
- Why wouldn't I be?
I was schooled at home.
Till today, I mean.
We're all just so sorry
- about your dad.
- [worker] Hey, watch out!
- [indistinct shouting]
- [intercom beeps]
[Grayle] This is a lockdown.
- Please tell me what's happening.
- It's a drill.
[Carrie screams]
[man yells]
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Why on earth would I tell you?
You're done
with the drills for this year.
[Chris] We're going to college together.
You're telling me you can't afford it?
Goddamn it,
this isn't about you, Christine.
Sorry.
Why am I bleeding?
[gasps]
[girls] Plug it up! Plug it up!
- Plug it up!

[tool ratcheting]
[Adelaide] Everyone's heard the story.
The woman
the child
the car.
I walk along the avenue ♪
[screaming]
Tony!
[Tony] Aah! Aah!
[Tony groans]
[mutters]
[panting] I need help!
[Tony continues yelling]
[metallic creaking]
[Tony yelling]

[metallic creaking]
[Adelaide] It became a global story.
News outlets called it
"hysterical strength,"
a rare and spontaneous phenomenon
with little scientific evidence.
It was said
that she held the 3,000-pound car
for close to three minutes.
Everyone knows the story, sure.
Calling it "hysterical strength"
actually hid the truth in plain sight
because the press didn't understand
that in that moment
she discovered something within her
that she never knew existed.
Something stronger than muscle and bone.
And once she knew it was there
she could find it again.
[gentle, mysterious music playing]
[indistinct, muffled speech]
[Grayle muffled] Miss White?
[clearly] Are you with us?
Good. So all I need you to do
is tell me who started this,
and I will take care of it, I promise you.
Chris Hargensen was leading the charge
when I walked in.
Is that true?
Did Miss Hargensen push you
into the showers?
I don't know.
I don't know all the names.
It was loud, and
the lights.
Something happened. [inhales sharply]
That's okay. Let's You know what?
Let's just slow down.
Okay, why don't you head down
to the nurse's office
and just get checked out?
Do you know where that is? Okay.
Great. Miss D will meet you down there.
Poor kid.
That's it?
I can't suspend the entire gym class.
- Those girls were out of control.
- I thought you said
- you didn't see anything.
- I saw enough.
Look, if Carrie White isn't gonna
name names,
- that's sort of that.
- [scoffs]
Go with her. If she's ready to talk,
then bring her back.
Either way,
I'm gonna have you call Margaret White--
already not a fan of mine-- and tell her
that her daughter's been involved
in yet another incident.
This is bullshit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
- [Chris] I like that a lot.
- [Tina laughing] I like
- this one.
- [Chris] I know.
[Tina] Oh, my God.
- [laughter]
- Holy shit.
Wait. That's not even the best part.
- [student] Is that the new kid?
- Yeah.
[student 2] I heard she was,
like, gushing blood.
She's not a fire hydrant.
How do you think periods work?
[Tina] Look at that face. I mean, gosh.
Did she really think she was dying?
I mean, that's rough.
Miss D had a bloody handprint
on her pants from helping her up.
Yeah.
- Oh, that's disgusting.
- She's so gross.
- What's her name again?
- [Chris] Carrie White.
Yeah, more like Carrie Red.
[Tina gasps] Bloody Carrie.
Now say that in the mirror three times.
Bloody Carrie Red.
- That's classic.
- [Brooklyn] She must've been scared.
Well, to just start bleeding like that
and not knowing what's going on.
I'm sorry. Did anyone hear that?
I thought
I heard a self-righteous bitch who wasn't
- invited into this conversation.
- Chris.
I was just saying that I feel bad--
Shut the fuck up, Brooklyn.
[Peist] Excuse me.
Back to your seats.
[Tina scoffs]
Carrie Red.
It's really good, Snell.
[footsteps approaching]
I got you some pads.
They, uh, go in your underwear.
I, I know. The nurse showed me.
I like your shirt.
It's from the lost and found.
I I don't know what this is.
It's a band.
A very cool band.
Is there something wrong with me?
No. No, not at all.
Everything
everything that you're experiencing
is completely normal.
Doesn't feel normal.
It's just your period.
You bleed a little bit every month.
It's annoying.
Your mom never talked to you
about any of this?
Okay, um
Well
It's part
It's called menstruation.
It's a part of a cycle
that means your body is capable
of getting pregnant.
Which, actually
You should probably read this one, too.
So
besides the blood,
does
anything else happen?
Can be cramps, bloating.
Listen, I'm gonna call your mom,
- okay, to take you--
- Don't.
I mean, I
Can you not call her?
My momma, she
she worries,
and she didn't want me
to come here at all,
so if she hears about this
She's at work anyway
so please don't call her.

Stop it, Jeremy.
Uh, you should put this back.
And this.
And these. You should
you should put this back.
Hmm?
Have you heard of aspartame?
- Huh?
- Aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup?
Chlormequat, aflatoxins,
glyphosate, BHT?
I'm asking because
if you love your child,
I'm wondering why you are poisoning him.
[beeping]
I'm not ringing these up.
What?
I can't stop you from degrading yourself,
but I'm not required to help you either.
What the fuck did you just say to me?
[sighs]
[Margaret] When the government passed
the Right to Contraception Act in 2022
[customer] What the fuck does
the government have anything
- to do with any of this?
- it was to encourage young women
- to get abortions.
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
Take your break, Margaret.
I-I still have an hour.
Take your break.
I am so sorry.
- Yeah, this bitch just called me a whore.
- [Margaret] I
- I did nothing of the sort.
- Are you fucking serious?
- I had an unreasonable customer.
- Do you know what she said to me?
I know everything that was said.
We've had two other
complaints
since I've started you on register.
The right to refuse service has
been thoroughly established.
For the owner of a business.
If an employee refuses to serve a customer
without discussing it with management
and getting full approval,
they could be fired.
[scoffs]
Are are you firing me?
No, I'm not.
I'm trying to help you navigate this.
You've
you've been out of the workplace
for a long time,
and I just--
- With your recent loss, too.
- I-I have to go.
My daughter's gonna be home soon.
I need to move you for a bit.
I'm putting you with maintenance.
I'll send a new schedule.

- [crow caws]
[metallic clank]
Wouldn't tell me.

- Why wouldn't you tell me?
Just didn't need to tell me
that I'd be bleeding?

- Why, Momma? Huh?

You didn't use it

Told you not to do that.
That's all right. I'll call 'em.
Gonna use mine.
Um, oh, so,

- No.
It's just splitting time, Chris.
- It's not permanent.
- No.
I'm not playing house

She's being a total cunt at school.
I don't like it any more than you do.
Okay? In fact, I hate it, all right?

I haven't.
But you're too trusting, Carietta.

how insidious these places are.
They don't want you to think for yourself.
They want to tell you who to be
and what to believe.
And God forbid you ask questions.
God forbid that you stand up for yourself.
They will crucify you.
The world is not kind to people like us.

Thank you.
Why don't I know you?

- I'm sorry?
- I said, "Why don't I know you?"
I've only been here a few months.
I teach at the high school.
You don't look like a teacher.
Ah.
Billy Nolan.
- [laughs softly]
- Are you old enough to be in here?
Did-did you card this guy?
What are you, 19? 20?
Oh, well, you'd know, you fucking pedo.
Oh. Charming.
Well, it's nice to see you, too, Billy.
Yeah, you stay out of trouble, okay?
Fucking psychopath.
Who is that?
Oh, he used to be a student.
Billy Nolan is the reason
we have metal detectors.
- Oh, he's that kid?
- Oh, yeah.
He, uh, got expelled two years ago.
Brought a cattle prod into school
and went after some kid at lunch.
- Jesus.
- Not good.
But I can't say
I couldn't relate to the impulse.
Oh. Dude.
What? Who hasn't dreamt
of cattle-prodding a high schooler?
Okay, you have a dark mind.
Come on in. The water's fine.
Morton, did you see Rita's new boyfriend?
- Okay, don't be gross.
- Here you go.
We're here to support, not judge.
- Cheers.
- Ooh, cheers.
That's what I heard.
That she had it smeared on like war paint
and was running
through the-the halls naked.
[Morton] I heard that, too.
No. No, no, no. No, no war paint.
No running. No rivers of blood.
Just a really, really scared kid.
- That's disappointing.
- Okay, you said that you're here to,
um, support--
Not judge.
- Never judging.
- [Desjardin] Okay.
[Morton] No.
Okay. [sighs]
I spent most of the day wanting
to smack her.
[laughs]
Is that bad?
I mean, uh,
it's not great.
[both laughing]
It's just You know what it is?
It's that she's so
new.
All the time. Like, she just--
I think you kind of just want to be, like,
"God. Really?" and, like,
scuffen her up a little bit
so that the real jackals don't kill her.
- Oh.
- [Peist] It's human nature, right?
Like, some kids are always
gonna be the target.
[Morton] I definitely was.
Queer kid in the '70s?
That whole anti-bullying assembly
at the start of the year
is based on me, baby.
- [Desjardin laughs]
- [Morton laughs]
[Desjardin] I also keep thinking,
honestly,
a few years ago, it would have been me
torturing Carrie White
in that locker room.
And we'd have gotten away with it, too.
Shit, the things we used to do Well
[Morton] Well, well,
we will keep an eye out.
- She'll be fine.
- Yeah.
And-and if Grayle doesn't do anything,
I mean, you-you can always do some
little educating of your own.
You know, let 'em know
that shit won't fly.
- Mm.
- What?
You're pressuring me to go vigilante?
We are here to support, not judge.
- Judging sucks.
- [Peist] Mm.
Go vigilante. You're Batman.
[laughter]
[footsteps approaching]
Momma?
Momma, I-I was bleeding.
I had no idea what was going on.
You didn't tell--
I was gonna tell you.
[clock ticking]
[door creaks]
How long?
Penitence sets its own clock.
Get started, and God will let you know
when you've done enough.
[Carrie gasps]
[slow, melancholy music playing]
[clock ticking]
[Carrie] Please don't, Momma.
I repented.
Do you know what those kind of explicit
materials do to a developing mind?
Behavioral issues, aggression, addiction--
You said we have to fit in.
And I have to go here.
We don't have a choice.
I have to fit in.
I don't need any more trouble.
I
I won't let them give me anything
like that again.
Just please, don't come in.
Okay?
Okay.
Promise?

Thank you.

Hildy, I need maintenance

- [coffee machine lid clicking]
- [Grayle sighs]
I just want a cup of coffee.
- It's not--
- Who gave these to my daughter?
Mrs. White, so nice to see you again,
and so soon.
You sent her home with pornography.
Pornography's a bit of an exaggeration.
Those are approved by the state.
- Oh, the state.
- It's nothing
that's not covered in our basic biological
and sexual education curriculum.
It's a curriculum that I specifically
opted my daughter out of.
I'm sorry. I just assumed that you had
given consent after yesterday's incident.
What incident?
The locker room.
Somebody contacted you about that, right?
[Grayle scoffs]
Uh, I apologize again. I misspoke.
Listen, your daughter didn't
seem to have a, like, a
an understanding of her
- menstrual cycle.
- Mm.
Uh, no.
You listen to me.
Carrie is a child.
- I don't think that's right.
- And it's up to me to educate her
- about her body
- Well, you didn't,
- because it happened in gym class.
- or about anything else.
It is up to me what she knows, and when.
That's my prerogative.
Yeah, she is a teenager.
They are contagious.
What one knows, they all know.
And information is empowering.
You have to empower her,
or else these other kids--
- They're just They're gonna--
- These other these other kids?
What did they do to my daughter?
These other kids?
What have you done to them in response?
[indistinct, lively crowd chatter]
Carrie, please report
to the guidance counselor's office.
Mr. Morton needs to see you.
[students murmuring]
- [Desjardin] Go on.
- [students continue murmuring]
All right, Carrie is excused.
The rest of you are gonna run line drills.
- [some students scoffing]
- Anyone who doesn't want to run
will be joining me in detention
for two weeks.
- What?
- Two weeks? Can't do that.

Come in.
Please, sit down.
Sorry to disrupt your gym class.
I just figured, I had a gap in my day,
I know you're adjusting.
I just wanted to check in.
Oh, I-I don't want
to talk about yesterday.
And that's fine.
I mostly wanted to talk
about something else.
Principal Grayle said that you quoted
Anne of Green Gables to him.
Um, it's one of my favorites.
Me, too.
You like to read.
I I heard this from a few people.
I I love to read.
You know, I was thinking
of another quote that you might like,
'cause you've had such a hard year.
"We need never be ashamed of our tears."
Do you know that one?
I don't.
Dickens. Great Expectations.
I've kept that one a long time.
I get ashamed of
my tears, plenty,
so I like to remember it when I do.
Um, I haven't read that one.
Uh, how about,
"One thing I've learned is that you don't
have to understand things for them to be."
It sounds familiar, but I don't--
A Wrinkle in Time.
Oh. Of course.
How about,
"Nothing is so painful to the human mind
as a great and sudden change"?
Frankenstein.
Oh. Um,
I don't I don't do scary.
Um
Okay, uh, this one's long, but
"I know you'll be kind, and clever,
and bold.
And the bigger your heart,
the more it will hold.
When nights are black
and when days are gray,
you'll be brave and bright
so no shadows can stay.
And become anybody that you'd like to be.
And then I'll look at you,
and you'll look at me,
and I'll love you,
whoever you've grown up to be."

You didn't tell me that.
You weren't around.
That's impressive.
You must get good grades.

extracurriculars, they're, uh,

Uh, Brooklyn, uh, she's doing
all these after-school clubs.
What's that one? Science, technology--
Engineering, arts and math. STEAM.

Uh, do you do any extracurriculars?
No. I opted for a life, instead.
