[♪♪♪]
DOLLFACE:
Remember, baby,
this is our first time
at the Council.
Those fuckers are gonna
try to railroad us
into taking a shit deal.
Gotta be tough.
I am tough!
- [SLAPPING]
- [GRUNTING]
[♪♪♪]
This is Kreel, the scavenger
I told you about,
from Rancho Cucamonga!
- [CHUCKLING]
- Wow.
- That's my seat.
- [SNIFFS]
Why don't you go, uh,
fuck off with your lipstick,
'cause the men
need to talk shop.
- [LAUGHING]
- Sorry, Boxer.
Still breakin' her in.
[SNAPPING FINGERS]
[CHAIR SQUEAKS]
[WOMEN LAUGHING]
[DOOR SHUTS,
LAUGHING STOPS]
Well, don't just
lurk in the shadows.
Come here.
You're with the new one, right?
Yeah, for now.
- I'm Krista, by the way.
- Hey!
Can I have a swig of that?
Thanks.
All right, let's get down
to business.
Laur, you owe me a make-good
from last month's trade.
What the fuck?
Half those shells were duds.
Yeah, that's my fault.
Derek spilled an entire
can of Surge on them.
I'll just stop with the bullets
and throw in some extra medical.
Anyone have
any wide tampons?
JESS: Me.
But I want the batteries
you've been holding onto
for a rainy day.
I'm gonna need
the tampons first.
Whoa, hold up.
I thought the guys out there
were making the deals.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh!
We're the ones who make
the real trades back here, babe.
Outside is just the monthly
dick-measuring contest.
[CHUCKLING]
So, we go to open
the door, right?
And I'm expecting
to see a dead body,
'cause, the smell.
And you wouldn't
guess what it was.
[FARTING]
Aw, come on!
That was, like, the most
awesome fart, Jess!
[LAUGHING]
And this sucks so much.
Oh my god!
Okay, so I totally
don't wanna kill you girls,
but Boxer said, um,
that I have to.
It's a whole power play thing
so he can control the supplies.
But just to be clear,
I so do not wanna do this.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck, I don't want to.
But what if
you didn't have to?
We put up with their bullshit
for protection, right?
But
look at us!
We're in
the driver's seat.
Pedro said
we can't drive.
Well fuck Pedro.
He loves to fuck so much.
We make the deals.
We deserve so much more
than just a seat at the table.
We deserve the whole
goddamn room.
Or, do y'all just
wanna be the bitches
banished to
the ladies' room forever?
All right. It's time
to measure our dicks.
Hiya!
So the ladies and I
have been talking,
and we've all decided
that we're dumping you.
Now, this is an
amicable split, so
we'll leave you children
the baby food
- and take the rest.
- [SCOFFS]
Those are our terms.
Take it or leave it.
You ungrateful sluts
can leave us,
but you try
and take our supplies
and we'll fucking
kill you--
Anyone else
have shit to say?
I think you're a bitch.
[GUNS COCKING]
You're nothing
without me.
I was your ride or die!
Well, the ride's
over, so
[GUNFIRE]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Oh
God.
Oh
[CLANGING]
Uh--hey.
Hey!
- [SCREAMING]
- Hi.
What the hell
are you doin' here?
Don't worry
about your pants.
I had to search you
for weapons.
Only found one,
small caliber.
So you escaped
New San Francisco?
Hmm, impressive.
Or rather, it would be
if you weren't a spy.
Spy? I'm not a spy.
Oh, playing dumb?
Classic spy move.
You either start talking,
or mama's going
to start tweaking
those pesky little
pepperonis.
- [CACKLING]
- [YELPING]
What the fuck,
Ashley?
You were supposed to come
and get us when he woke up.
You meant,
like, right away?
Ugh! Fine.
You used to be cool.
Oh. Quiet.
I'm so happy to see you.
Oh, I have so much
to tell you.
New San Fran,
it was a trap.
Raven tried to get me
to play video games all day
so I could enter the tournament
and win her her wish,
to help her
creepy coma friend.
Um
I'm happy to see you.
It's good to
see you, too.
And I'm not the only one
excited to see you.
Lionel, it's me.
Krista.
You must be confused.
My name's John.
Right, your memory.
Sorry.
God, you look
exactly the same.
Minus the braces.
How do you know
I had braces?
I know because
I'm your sister.
Huh.
Wow. Okay.
[CHUCKLING]
Uh, it's, uh
[GRUNTING]
Well, it's, uh,
nice to meet you, again.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um.
Sorry.
Okay, okay.
[CLEARING THROAT]
So
what's up
with the masks?
[GRUNTING]
- We call ourselves the Dolls.
- Let's go.
The divide
between insiders
and outsiders
grows by the day.
So we fight to make
things even Steven.
We're making real change.
Our numbers grow with
every community that we free.
What started off with
just four women
became all this.
[♪♪♪]
This should be
your size.
You know all that
from a weird hug?
Wasn't that weird.
Hey, baby, would you
help me out of this?
My tits can't breathe.
Maybe later.
[CLEARING THROAT]
Here, try this on.
It'll go good
with the pants.
So, catch me up
on the last 20 years.
I want to know everything.
Well, you know,
a little bit of this,
a little bit of that.
Milkmanning.
Had a cool car.
Met Quiet.
Here we are.
Uh, the scouts are back.
You want to be
briefed now or
Now's fine.
Seriously, John?
Your sister hasn't
seen you in 20 years.
And the best you can
come up with is milkmanning?
I thought I would
feel some way,
shit, remember something,
but I don't.
I look at my own sister
and
she's a complete
stranger to me.
Just don't
shut yourself off.
Just because
you don't feel it now
doesn't mean
you never will.
Sure.
Come on.
I got someone
you'll definitely remember.
[♪♪♪]
- Oh.
- [CHUCKLING]
Oh, you're a sight
for sore eyes.
[LAUGHING]
He looks beautiful.
So since I've been gone,
it looks like you've
made some changes
to the car.
I would call them
upgrades, but, yeah.
Upgrades, right.
So has, uh, Roadkill had
any new passengers since me?
A few.
Not that that's
any of your business!
No, no. it's not.
Your car, your call.
So what's a few,
like, two? 12?
- John.
- Okay, okay,
So you're not going
to believe this,
but I found a place
that we can go away to.
My grandfather,
he had a family cabin.
It's remote as hell.
It's up in the Sierras, right?
It's a lot of fishin' holes.
We can catch our own dinner.
Nobody'll find us.
We'll be safe.
We could live together,
just you and me.
[SCOFFING]
I mean, if your posse
wants to come,
they can sleep on the couch.
That's cool.
[CHUCKLING]
That cabin
sounds great, John.
- Yeah?
- It does.
But I can't run away.
When I met up with the Dolls,
I realized I've been
fighting against everything
instead of
fighting for something.
I can't go with you
because
I'm entering
the tournament.
No, no, no.
That tournament is
a guaranteed death sentence.
- Yeah, but if I win--
- Now we're dealing with ifs?
When I win,
I'm going to wish to
bring down all the city walls.
Finally put insiders
and outsiders
on an even playing field.
It's bad out here, John,
and it's getting worse.
You're going to be dealing
with the most ruthless
and dangerous drivers
in the country!
Maybe I'm the most ruthless,
dangerous driver
- in the country.
- [SCOFFS]
Oh, eat a shit!
Is that so hard to believe?
I don't want you to die
trying to prove it.
You can't just show up here
after seven months
and start making
decisions for me.
Oh, right. It sucks
when people make decisions
- for you, right?
- You know what?
I can't believe you're
still mad about that.
You said all you ever wanted
was to go inside.
You were about to give it up.
You should be thanking me!
I should be thanking you
for shooting me?
Which time? Cause it gets
less and less cute.
[CLATTERING]
- Little motherfucker!
- Quiet!
If you think I'm gonna
change my mind
[SCOFFING]
You don't even know me.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, douche canoe.
You took that
without asking,
Oh, Quiet. My B.
Ashley asked me
to jimmy the door.
She locked
her keys in it.
Again.
Second time this month.
Yeah. Ashley is
really flaky.
Except what's weird is
this isn't actually her car.
A couple of the Dolls
synced up on their periods.
The gauze is flyin' off
the shelves like crazy.
Okay, you got me.
I'm not a Doll.
No shit.
When did you sneak in?
Yesterday. Look, I--
I'm so sorry.
But it's my baby brother.
I left him at our camp
a few miles back,
and he's really sick.
I mean, it's like
blood in piss bad.
I swear, I only stole
what I needed to
Put him out of his misery.
Oh, okay, okay,
let's take it easy.
I mean, we can handle this
like adults, right?
Yeah. You know,
I was thinking the same thing.
[GRUNTING]
So, are we going to talk about
the elephant in the room?
Your brother is
fine as hell.
I'm so glad
you said something.
I'd make his face
my car seat.
I wanna put his gearshift
in my gas pipe.
- Eww!
- Krista?
We need to talk.
Alone.
You brainwashed Quiet.
So, I don't know, um,
un-brainwash her, now.
Wanna try that shit again?
No one barges into my tent
and orders me around,
even if they're blood.
You can't let her
enter that tournament!
We still haven't decided
who's entering the tournament,
but yeah,
she's a contender.
I know Quiet.
She's not ready.
You knew Quiet,
for a minute.
I've known Quiet
for seven months.
Plus, the tournament
was her idea.
- It was?
- Yes.
We both know no one
can brainwash that girl.
Even if I did
agree with you,
which I don't, by the way,
she would still do it.
You know I'm right.
I can tell.
How?
'Cause Daddy used to
make that same face
when he knew
I was right, too.
I still can't believe you
haven't asked about our parents.
I mean, don't you want to know
what happened to them?
Is it a good story
or a bad story?
Thanks. I'll pass.
Ugh!
Enjoy being
a hypocrite much?
You Dolls steal
all the time.
It's complicated, kid.
Hey, don't call me kid.
I'm Mayhem.
[SCOFFING]
You named yourself that,
didn't you?
Wow, I'm really getting
a lecture on names
from you, Quiet?
At least I didn't
name myself.
It's a really bad idea that
you're keeping me here, okay?
People are after me.
Dangerous people.
And if they find me,
you won't like it.
Oh, well,
then you are free to go.
Hope those little arms
are strong.
What? Come on.
You can't chop down
a tree with this shit.
A bush maybe.
Well, you better
get started.
Hey. Jeremy.
Nice to see another
Y-chromosome around here.
Please don't try
and bond with me.
- Yeah.
- All right, listen up.
Calypso's tournament
begins in a few days.
An opportunity to change
everything for all of us.
- But it's a long shot.
- No shit.
We need as many Dolls
as possible
to continue our fight
from here.
So
we will send one Doll,
and one Doll only.
If you want to be considered,
stand your ass up.
I'm ready to take on
any motherfucker
who stands in my way
until I get my wish.
Our wish.
Ashley,
sit the fuck down.
Suck it, banana tits.
I'm ready.
JOHN DOE: I'm drivin' too.
I, for one,
think it's time
for men's voices
to take a backseat.
You can't drive.
You're not a Doll.
[LAUGHING]
You have
something to say?
Oh, is that cool?
You know, because
I'm not a Doll either.
So I just want to be clear
on what the Doll rules are.
Unless
well, wait.
Are you scared to drive
up against a man?
Because from over here,
it seems like you don't
think you can beat him.
And if you can't,
well, then what makes you think
you have a chance
- at this tournament?
- Enough!
The toddler has a point.
We need to see
who has what it takes,
against any competition.
And there's only one way
to reach that conclusion.
It's a battle of hearts,
wheels, and wits.
Prepare for
the dance of the--
Dolls?
Did you
did you really just
step on my line?
Are you really going to
go this far to stop me?
You sound threatened.
Afraid I'm gonna show you up?
Anything you can do,
I can do backwards.
So think don't I.
God, you're
such a dingus.
Hey, thanks for
standing up for our gender.
Because of you, I'm throwing
my hat in the ring, brother.
All right, ladies,
let's gear up.
[♪♪♪]
[GRUNTING]
[GROWLING]
[GROWLING]
Oh, fuck me!
[♪♪♪]
Hey!
I didn't think you'd be
fighting for the cause
- after one afternoon.
- I'm not.
I'm trying to keep Quiet
from throwing her life away.
This is what I gotta do
to stop her, then so be it.
Stop her?
Shit, you're going to
watch that girl fly.
Try not to fuck up
Shrapnel too bad.
You name your car?
Yeah.
So
first person to
cross the finish line wins.
[CHEERING]
[ENGINES REVVING]
The winner will represent
the Dolls in the tournament.
Now, who's ready to dance?
[CHEERING]
[ENGINES REVVING]
[GUNSHOT]
- [CHEERING]
- [ENGINE SPUTTERING]
No, no!
Go, go, go!
Okay. Okay, okay.
Is Jeremy
fucking crying again?
Maybe giving me a foot massage
will cheer him up.
Jeremy!
Leave me lying here
Okay.
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me
Oh, now you're
doing my moves.
He probably thinks
I learned this from him.
[ENGINE REVVING,
TIRES SQUEALING]
Time for some fireworks.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
Whoa!
Tell me tell me what
you really want from me ♪
You've got
to let me know ♪
Get ready to eat my--
Oh shit!
- Nice try, John.
- [TIRES SQUEALING]
Enjoy second place.
Shit!
[PAINTBALL GUNS FIRING]
Oh, come on, paint?
Seriously?
Shit.
[GRUNTING]
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
Thanks for the wash.
'Cause I don't wanna go
I'm gonna fuckin'
win this thing!
Oh, no!
No, shit!
[GRUNTS]
[LAUGHS]
Fuck!
It's just us now.
Oh, hell no!
[ENGINE REVVING]
What the fuck?
Come on!
Come on, baby, come on!
- That's all you got?
- Damn it.
No, not yet.
[♪♪♪]
Ah-ah-ah, nice try.
Kiss my ass!
[LAUGHS]
Fuck it.
[ENGINE SCREAMING]
Goddamn it,
she's too fast.
Too fast!
[CHEERING]
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- Oh, shit!
Shit, shit, shit!
- Quiet.
- [INDISTINCT COMMOTION]
Are you okay?
- Let me help you.
- I'm fine, John.
- Are you okay?
- I said I'm fuckin' fine.
I don't need your help.
Ladies, get Roadkill
to a garage.
She has a tournament to win,
and she needs
- a makeover real bad.
- [CHEERING]
Hey, where's the kid?
I don't know. Who cares?
[GROANS]
Where are you going?
That little shit
has my best hatchet.
Told you
she's the real deal.
Yeah, I see.
Mayhem!
You little shit!
I want my hatchet back!
Bring it back and maybe
I won't kill you with it.
[TWIG SNAPS]
Just comin' to say congrats.
Thanks.
I spy a little bitch.
What the hell
are you doing here?
- Run!
- [GROWLING]
[SNIFFING]
What the fuck is this?
Look at these
horny motherfuckers.
Not now.
You have something
of mine.
- Girl stole from cave.
- [GRUNTS]
- Our food!
- [GRUNTS]
- Our cans!
- [GRUNTS]
Girl must pay!
"Girl must p-pay."
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, you guys are committed to
the bit. I like it.
Make the girl pay
all you want.
Take her back to your weird,
inbred hole.
I don't care.
I'm here for that hatchet.
All right, all right.
Come on, guys.
Look, I'm John.
This is Quiet.
Let me help the mood
with a joke.
How about that?
Knock, knock.
QUIET: Run!
- [GUNSHOT]
- [YELPS]
Metal dog barks loud!
Yeah, yeah,
fear the metal dog!
- [GUNSHOT]
- [GRUNTING]
- You good?
- We hiked all this way
and now we're fighting
cave people?
[GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
No see! No see!
- Where the fuck are my axes?
- Quiet!
[♪♪♪]
Holy shit.
I sure enough did not think
that would work.
Looks like you learned a lot
in those seven months.
So did you.
Where'd you learn
to punch like that?
We had Mortal Kombat inside.
Well, thank God
for whatever that is.
[CHUCKLES]
Is it weird to admit
that was kind of fun?
Not weird at all.
It was nice to do it
one last time.
Well, it doesn't have to be
the last time.
Where's that gun?
I'd like to put it in my mouth.
Thanks for having
my back, John.
All right.
See you when
the walls come down.
[♪♪♪]
'Sup, Lionel?
Nothing.
Just fighting cave people.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, I heard you and Quiet
make quite the team.
Just like old times.
Must be tough
to finally reunite with someone
only to find out that
they're not the same person.
If only I could
relate to that.
Look, I know you don't
believe in our fight,
but those walls are the reason
our parents are dead.
They're the reason
Quiet's brother is dead.
So who are we
to try and stop her
from doing something
about that?
Look, I get it.
You don't want her to die.
You can't save her.
All you can do
is just be there for her
and have her back
if she wants it.
Thanks.
So, how'd you get
those braces off, huh?
- Good story or bad story?
- Long story.
[CHUCKLES] I got time.
- [HANDCUFFS CLICKING]
- Oh, come on, really?
You're going to save me and then
just leave me here to die?
You're staying here
with the Dolls.
You might have been fine
on your own before,
but your lying little ass
almost got buried today.
- [SIGHS]
- The Dolls will have your back.
Sometimes you need that
more than anything.
What, like you and John?
No. No.
That is very different.
I get it. I went through the
same thing with my ex-husband.
- Your ex-husband?
- Yeah.
Gene and I got hitched
just after my first period.
God, that was
a weird honeymoon.
- Was he your age?
- No, no, he was much younger.
But then I realized
I didn't need Gene.
So I am with you.
If you don't need John,
dump him.
I mean, who wants a talkative
old man around anyway?
- He is pretty old.
- Yeah. What is he, like, 60?
- All right.
- Seventy? 80?
Oh, come on, that was funny.
We were bonding!
More Dolls entering
the tournament?
Just some extra protection
on my way up.
Look, I still think
the tournament's a bad idea,
but obviously
you don't need me.
You're a badass, Quiet.
I'll be rooting for you.
Look, I was thinking
[MUMBLING]
Maybe you should come with me.
I'm sorry, did you just--
what?
You know what? Shut up!
Come with me.
Wouldn't want to
cramp your style.
Uh, just to be
crystal fucking clear,
John Doe, I don't need
your help to win.
Mmm-mmm.
I just want you
by my side when I
We do.
Let me check my schedule.
- You're lucky I'm available.
- Ah!
DOLLFACE: All right,
let's head out!
If you two
are gonna win,
you're going to need
some special weapons.
And the baddest, deadliest,
most overpowered specials
can only be found
in one place.
Diesel City.
[ENGINES REVVING]
[TRAY SLOT SLAMS]
[PAPER RUSTLES]
CALYPSO:
Will you drive, Mr. Grimm?
Yes.
[DEEPER VOICE] We will.
[♪♪♪]
