Project Power

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.

We'll only be in New Orleans for a little while,

so get out there and sell.

What's it called?

You ask a lot of questions.

Yeah, I'm Newt.

Newt.

This...

is Power.

- -

Orleans Parish, 9-1-1.

My friend is having some strange reaction right now.

She just took a pill.

This is what I'm telling you, man, he lifted the freaking car over his head.

9-1-1, what's your emergency?

I don't know how to describe this, but I just seen some weird shit.

Look, I don't see no blood at all. No blood.

9-1-1, where is your emergency?

- - Nine-one-one.

Bird!

Come on, man. There's no bird.

We shouldn't even be here right now.

Bird!

-Come on, bird! - You're not even listening.

All right, all right.

Say, bro, let me see your hands.

Hands, now!

You don't got no gun.

You wanna find out?

Whoa. How much?

-Five hundred. - Five hundred?

Are you serious?

Supply and demand. You want it or not?

I wanna climb the walls.

That's not how it works.

You take it, for five minutes, you get what you get.

Instead of selling it to us, why don't you just give it to us?

- Don't touch me! Get off! - Take that stupid mask off!

- - No!

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. -

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? -

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.

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.

Go!

Man, you crazy.

You okay?

I had it.

That is not what I saw.

So what, you practice that in the mirror?

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.

What do you know about Clint Eastwood?

I know enough.

What you seen him in?

- The Bridges of Madison County. -That's actually a pretty good one.

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? -Get on!

Damn!

Good morning, New Orleans!

I have a caller on the line. Tell me exactly what you saw.

Man, I saw a kid running down Poydras last night,

35 miles per hour.

Did you have a speed gun on this guy?

Man, if the speed limit is 25, he passed it down cold.

I'm telling you, he was on something.

Bruh, it sounds like you might have been on something.

Wayne, you can make fun all you want,

but I'm telling you, something going on.

There's videos. I saw one the other day,

a kid jumped straight off the roof of the casino and just walked away.

Maybe there's a little conspiracy going--

Who is it?

Looking for 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.

Come where I can see you.

Merry Christmas.

You alone?

Aren't we all?

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? - Yeah...

-No. -Which one? Box down, hands up?

Put the box down and get your hands up.

-Okay, I'm with you. Box down. - 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.

The Major.

Say, bruh.

I'ma go make that call. You stay right there.

I wouldn't do that.

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.
