I discovered a cure.

00:00:18,644 --> 00:00:19,853
They laughed at me.

10
00:00:19,854 --> 00:00:22,105
Fuck them all.

[Firecracker] Heavens to Betsy!

What's that smell? It's Soldier Boy.
I can smell him all over you.

13
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,778
- Where's Noir?
- He just disappears every afternoon.

14
00:00:28,779 --> 00:00:30,363
Won't say where he's going.
Won't say shit.

- [Black Noir] <i>I thought we were friends.</i>

17
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,786
I needed a win from Homelander,
Edgar was it.

18
00:00:36,787 --> 00:00:39,330
If we get the V1 first,
we save Annie, we save Kimiko.

19
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:40,623
If Homelander gets it, he's immortal.

The V1 wasn't here.

Just fucking do it already.

to a divine rebranding.

Sir, great point.

We're just trying to ease people into it.

68
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:54,799
No, no, no. We need to prepare America
for my ascension.

- [Homelander] Mm.
- Religion is not about being meek.

75
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,855

Mm. Second coming?

Let's be clear, I am not the son of God.

85
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:34,297
Yeah, well, of course.

86
00:03:34,298 --> 00:03:38,551
Many people believe that Jesus
is both God incarnate and the son.

00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:39,844
Well, that's just confusing.

Not a book.

97
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:07,413
The book.

98
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,167
The Homelander Bible.

00:04:15,798 --> 00:04:17,131
[quietly] What the fuck?

101
00:04:17,132 --> 00:04:20,343
It's got the Old Testament,
the New Testament,

102
00:04:20,344 --> 00:04:24,514
and the Brand New American Testament,

103
00:04:24,515 --> 00:04:26,933
written by A.I. trained on the works
of Pat Robertson.

104
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:30,353
See, we need to pass the torch, sir,

105
00:04:30,354 --> 00:04:32,939
from Jesus to you.

106
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:37,151
Sir, we don't get more than one chance
at a first impression.

107
00:04:37,152 --> 00:04:42,490
Are we really gonna rush
something this important?

108
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:46,078
- We ain't Arby's, after all.
- No.

109
00:04:47,246 --> 00:04:49,540
We're the Cheesecake Factory.

110
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:54,211
[sighs] Okay.

111
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,589
We'll do it your way.

112
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,676
Thank you.

113
00:05:01,677 --> 00:05:05,430
You do realize
this kind of sudden religious upheaval

114
00:05:05,431 --> 00:05:08,474
is likely to generate
widespread civil unrest?

115

[Firecracker] Local law
should be able to handle the suburbs,

116

but we could use extra hands
in major metros.

stationed overseas.

126
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,140
- You get used to it.
- You seem to have.

127
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:50,725
City life seems to suit you.

128
00:05:50,726 --> 00:05:52,436
I guess.

129
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:56,773

130
00:05:56,774 --> 00:05:58,775
Well, I was surprised you answered.

131
00:05:58,776 --> 00:06:01,694
It's been a while,
and, uh, I said things I regret.

132
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:02,821
We both did.

133
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:09,660
You remember when you used to
stop by the church after school?

134
00:06:09,661 --> 00:06:12,622
Use your powers
to light our candles? [laughs]

135
00:06:12,623 --> 00:06:14,541
I remember staying for supper.

136
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:18,586
Oh, man, those Fish Fry Fridays.

137
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:20,213
I never liked eating alone.

138
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:23,842
Or were you making sure
I got at least one hot square a day?

139
00:06:26,929 --> 00:06:28,596
Reverend, is something the matter?

140
00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:33,101
I'm embarrassed to bug you
with all of this, but, um,

141
00:06:33,102 --> 00:06:35,561
the last couple of weeks have been rough.

142
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:38,773
We've been bleeding congregants
to the Democratic Church of America,

143
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:41,485
and what folks are sticking around,
they're scared.

144
00:06:42,236 --> 00:06:45,154
- Why?
- 'Cause last Sunday, somebody, um,

145
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:48,366
melted our stained glass window of Mary.

146
00:06:48,367 --> 00:06:50,535
- Melted it?
- Mm-hmm.

147
00:06:50,536 --> 00:06:53,955
It was our local Supe, Praying Mantis.

148
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:56,791
He sprayed acid out of his butt.

149
00:06:56,792 --> 00:06:59,377
- I mean, his... his glands, his whatever.
- Yeah.

150
00:06:59,378 --> 00:07:01,629
- I know him.
- It was a message.

151
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:05,883
I called the sheriff. I called the mayor.
I called half of Florida.

152
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:07,593
You're all I got left.

153
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:09,178
[sighs]

154
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:10,930
Reverend, I don't know what I could do.

155
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:13,516
[Reverend Dupree] Well,
you got to be able to do something.

156
00:07:13,517 --> 00:07:15,853
You're Homelander's right hand.

157
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:20,941
Homelander's not too keen
on being challenged.

158
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,611
Why not just pay
the franchise fee and join?

159
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,739
Honey, we can barely afford
to pay our water bill.

160
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:33,244
Besides, the Democratic Church of America?

161
00:07:33,245 --> 00:07:35,997
God does not favor
one nation over another.

162
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:38,166
- Doesn't he, though? [chuckles]
- No.

163
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:41,295
Name one way God's ever blessed Canada.
[chuckles]

164
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:48,969
Just 'cause Homelander tells you
that the sky is red does not make it so.

165
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:55,016
You still have that, uh,
that Jesus action figure?

166
00:07:55,017 --> 00:07:56,142
[Firecracker laughs]

167
00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:58,060
I'm surprised you remember that.

168
00:07:58,061 --> 00:08:00,146
How could I forget it? You carried it
with you everywhere you went.

169
00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:02,106
- [laughs]
- You almost wore the face off the thing.

170
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:04,359
Do you still carry him?

171
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:07,946
[gentle music playing]

172
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:11,157
It's complicated.

173
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:13,410

- What do you mean?

349
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:35,637
You're acting up there. Stop acting.

350
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:37,431
Stop acting.

351
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:41,435
Don't act. Don't.

352
00:17:41,436 --> 00:17:43,730
Because I don't need an actor.

353
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:46,231
I need Barry Gibb.

354
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:48,358
You're right, boss. I'm sorry.

355
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,278
My process has been all over the map.
I just...

356
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:52,946
This scene hits a little close to home.

357
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:54,114
[sighs]

358
00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:56,617
All right, let me guess.
The egomaniac we're talking about,

359
00:17:56,618 --> 00:17:58,160
that's someone in your life?

360
00:17:58,161 --> 00:17:59,411
Someone I work with.

361
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:02,080
In my... day job.

362
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:03,165
All right. What are you doing? So quit.

363
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:05,834
There's no way this gig is more important
than the fucking theater.

364
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:07,169
I thought this guy was my brother,

365
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:10,881
but he straight-up hijacked something
I did and took all the credit for it.

366
00:18:10,882 --> 00:18:12,342
All right.

367
00:18:14,344 --> 00:18:17,846
I've been trying to keep this
on the D.L., but...

368
00:18:17,847 --> 00:18:19,556
in addition to my theater work,

369
00:18:19,557 --> 00:18:22,351
I also happen to be
a massive feature director.

370
00:18:22,352 --> 00:18:24,019
Four Saturn Awards to prove it.

371
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:26,772
So, I was working on this little film,
I don't know, you may have heard of it,

372
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,690
called <i>Dawn of the Seven.</i>

373
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,777
Billion dollar gross, but who's counting.

374
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:35,155
There was this fucking guy, the Deep,

375
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:40,035
he just kept upstaging everyone
with his trite, shitty improvs.

376
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:41,745
I heard he's a real baby.

377
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:44,915
He is a Jared Leto-level baby bitch.

378
00:18:44,916 --> 00:18:48,335
But you got to put people like that
in their place, right?

379
00:18:48,336 --> 00:18:52,256
So, whoever is upstaging you,
you fucking upstage them right back.

380
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:53,757
- Okay?
- Yeah.

381
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:54,842
All right.

382
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:56,260
You got this, bubbeleh.

383
00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:58,470
[lighthearted music playing]

384
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:01,139
[computer voice]
<i>Testing. Testing. Bitch. Bitch.</i>

385
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,933
- So great you're here, bro.
- <i>Alpha. Sigma. Beta.</i>

386
00:19:02,934 --> 00:19:06,770
Yes, well, we need to meet young men
where they are

387
00:19:06,771 --> 00:19:09,565
if we plan to usher them
into the fold of our Lord.

388
00:19:09,566 --> 00:19:10,858
Mm. Totes McGotes.

389
00:19:10,859 --> 00:19:13,402
So, listen, you know, I've got some ideas

390
00:19:13,403 --> 00:19:16,238
about how to take this whole
church thing to the next level.

391
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:17,322
Oh, yeah?

392
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:20,660
So you know how communion wafers
taste like dried shit?

393
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:24,454
What if they were Nilla wafers instead.

394
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,956
Ah?

395
00:19:25,957 --> 00:19:28,667
Oh, yeah, and if you could
throw in a commandment

396
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:31,796
about how it's not cool
to try and bone another bro's girl.

397
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,966
We have that. That already exists.

398
00:19:35,967 --> 00:19:38,093
Great minds then, eh? [laughs]

399
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:40,178
Point is, me and Homelander,
we go way back.

400
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,680
I know what he likes, doesn't like,

401
00:19:41,681 --> 00:19:44,057
so you ever want to bounce
some ideas back--

402
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:45,309
Don't listen to him, bro.

403
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:47,853
Oh, shit!

404
00:19:47,854 --> 00:19:49,062
He talks.

405
00:19:49,063 --> 00:19:51,231
- No, he does not.
- He's not trying to help you.

406
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:52,691
He's like those fish who suck on whales.

407
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,568
[scoffs] You talking about a suckerfish?

408
00:19:54,569 --> 00:19:58,989
He latches onto every new Supe--
Starlight, me, Sage.

409
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:02,451
He pretends he's the guy,
but he's not the guy. He's a joke.

410
00:20:02,452 --> 00:20:06,496
That smell on his breath? It's because
he's been clam diving, on clams.

411
00:20:06,497 --> 00:20:08,415
What? I have not done that.

412
00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:10,792
- I have definitely never done that.
- [Black Noir] Look, if you

413
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:14,004
really want to impress Homelander,
bring me onstage for Easter.

414
00:20:14,005 --> 00:20:16,340
Homelander can heal me.
I'll get my voice back.

415
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:17,967
And then, I'll fly.

416
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:21,762
- You know I can fly, right?
- That's so fucking stupid, bro!

417
00:20:21,763 --> 00:20:24,848
Well, now, I'm gonna have to run this
by Homelander, but, uh,

418
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:26,433
an honest to God faith healing?

419
00:20:26,434 --> 00:20:29,269
That's like a nine-point bump
with Pentecostals right there.

420
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:32,315
[laughs] Goddamn.

421
00:20:35,193 --> 00:20:37,195
[lighthearted music playing]

422
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,499
[Adam] There's my guy.

423
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,460
Little pep in the step, huh?

424
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:58,131
Sir, I did what you said,
and I upstaged that fuckhead at work.

425
00:20:58,132 --> 00:20:59,508
I'm proud of you.

426
00:20:59,509 --> 00:21:02,886
Now, that's exactly how I handled
that motherfucker Paul Rudd.

427
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:04,179
He's not who you think he is.

428
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,639
I appreciate the help, boss.

429
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,349
[stammers, chuckles]

430
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:08,600
Oh, my God, kid. You know what?

431
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:11,186
Keep this between us,
but you know Vought Studios

432
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:13,981
hung me out to dry
after they shelved <i>Training A-Train?</i>

433
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:15,607
- [grunts softly]
- Oh, yeah.

434
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:18,610
And at first,
I drowned my sorrows in crack,

435
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:22,531
nitrous, huffing glue, huffing paint,
paint thinners, cough medicine, guns,

436
00:21:22,532 --> 00:21:24,074
high-risk sex, codeine.

437
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:25,952
Do you ever fuck on codeine?

438
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:28,286
[sighs]

439
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:29,913
But that's not the answer.

440
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:32,207
[gentle music playing]

441
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:34,835
This play.

442
00:21:34,836 --> 00:21:36,586
It saved me.

443
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:38,255
You saved me.

444
00:21:38,256 --> 00:21:40,257
Wow. Thank you.

445
00:21:40,258 --> 00:21:43,385
No. Kid, thank you.

446
00:21:43,386 --> 00:21:45,054
'Cause I got some big news.

447
00:21:46,139 --> 00:21:47,139
We're going to Broadway.

448
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,725
[laughs] Yes.
No more mindless studio bullshit.

449
00:21:49,726 --> 00:21:52,436
I can finally be the artist
I always dreamed of, and you...

450
00:21:52,437 --> 00:21:56,148
Kid, you have no idea,
but you're gonna be a fucking star.

451
00:21:56,149 --> 00:22:00,820
So, you ditch that office gig 'cause
you and I, we are gonna save the world.

452
00:22:02,447 --> 00:22:03,447
With our talent.

453
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:06,283
Oh, my God. You have no idea
how much this means to me!

454
00:22:06,284 --> 00:22:09,454
[chuckles, grunts] I love you, kid.

455
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,291
You start your vocal warm-ups.

456
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:16,418
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna drop a deuce.

457
00:22:16,419 --> 00:22:18,087
Okay.

458
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,674

[somber music playing]

473
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:56,584

Don't you fucking "hey bro" me.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

482
00:23:33,704 --> 00:23:35,956
Nothing. Why? What's wrong with you?

483
00:23:35,957 --> 00:23:39,501
I call you a "clam diver," and you send
an eel to ass-murder Adam Bourke?

484
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,878
Did something terrible happen
at your play rehearsal today?

485
00:23:41,879 --> 00:23:43,755
Which is definitely not your job.

486
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:46,800
The lead producer's stepping away.
They're shuttering the production.

487
00:23:46,801 --> 00:23:48,635
[scoffs] He had it coming.

488
00:23:48,636 --> 00:23:51,012
Fucker didn't use my improvs
in <i>Dawn of the Seven.</i>

489
00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:52,973
He believed in me, you fuckwit!

490
00:23:52,974 --> 00:23:55,892
And for what? 'Cause I fucking
upstaged you with Oh Father?

Here's what gonna happen now.

493
00:23:58,813 --> 00:24:03,108
You are gonna fucking do
whatever I say whenever I say it,

494
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:06,611
or I'm gonna tell Homelander
you were in some pussy play,

495
00:24:06,612 --> 00:24:08,822
which is a definite conflict of interest

496
00:24:08,823 --> 00:24:11,951
since Homelander outlawed
the National Endowment for the Arts.

497
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:17,498
You have nothing to say? Nice.

498
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,959
You're really getting the hang
of that Meisner technique, huh?

[music distorting]

What're you doing?

Frenchie won't cook my steak

Okay, and why don't you tell him that?

518
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:10,550
I have.

519
00:25:10,551 --> 00:25:15,431
Maybe we just don't like the same...
steak, you know?

520
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,684
Jesus Christ.

521
00:25:19,685 --> 00:25:22,187
Has Butcher ever washed this thing? Oh.

522
00:25:22,188 --> 00:25:24,940
Ugh, that thing is, like,
glazed in dog semen.

523
00:25:24,941 --> 00:25:26,274
Like a come doughnut.

524
00:25:26,275 --> 00:25:29,027
Come-nut? Did I just invent a new word?

525
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:31,738
You know what? I am gonna
do us all a favor and wash this.

526
00:25:31,739 --> 00:25:35,158
Terror, your boyfriend is about to become
a virgin all over again.

527
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:36,243
Oof.

528
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:37,995
[Kimiko] Good boy.

529
00:25:39,997 --> 00:25:41,873
[door closes]

530
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:43,375
[lighthearted music playing]

531
00:25:43,376 --> 00:25:46,170
[quiet squeaking in distance]

532
00:25:50,967 --> 00:25:52,551
[wheels squeaking]

533
00:25:56,222 --> 00:25:57,472
[Mother's Milk] The fuck is that?

534
00:25:57,473 --> 00:25:59,474
You finally building yourself a fuck-bot?

535
00:25:59,475 --> 00:26:02,602
Something me and Frenchie
are working on. [sighs]

536
00:26:02,603 --> 00:26:04,980
Proper preparation and planning, my son.

537
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:06,481
None of my fucking business, got it.

538
00:26:06,482 --> 00:26:08,149
Yeah, that's the one.

539
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:10,485
- Any leads on Bombsight?
- Not a damn thing.

540
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,487
[Butcher] Well, he's an unbreakable cunt
that flies through the air.

541
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:13,697
How hard can it be?

542
00:26:13,698 --> 00:26:16,741
Well, if it's so easy,
why don't you look for him?

543
00:26:16,742 --> 00:26:19,119
I've hit every single dead end
and then some.

544
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,788
How about Legend?
That old bastard knows everyone.

545
00:26:21,789 --> 00:26:22,872
He's in the wind.

546
00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:25,918
And if I had as much shit on Vought
as he did, I'd fuck off, too.

547
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,336
Ah, shit.

548
00:26:28,337 --> 00:26:29,671
Wait, wait, wait.

549
00:26:29,672 --> 00:26:31,047
- Oi. Terror, no!
- Hey, hey, hey!

550
00:26:31,048 --> 00:26:32,674
- Get down. No, Terror. Oi.
- Good boy. Good boy.

551
00:26:32,675 --> 00:26:34,384
Oi, oi, oi, oi. No.

552
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:36,678
You can't have no chocolate, mate.

553
00:26:36,679 --> 00:26:38,556
Yeah, get your own chocolate.

554
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,060
[Mother's Milk] Mmm.

555
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:45,271
What?

556
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:47,772
- Three Mississippi rule.
- Bloody hell.

557
00:26:47,773 --> 00:26:49,524
I never thought I'd see the day.

558
00:26:49,525 --> 00:26:51,526
It's got a fucking pubic hair on it
and all.

559
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:53,404
Tasty, too. Hmm?

560
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:56,823
[laughs]

561
00:26:56,824 --> 00:26:59,034
You know what's funny?

562
00:26:59,035 --> 00:27:02,912
Here we are, parked in the middle of hell,

563
00:27:02,913 --> 00:27:06,708
and I've never slept or shit
so good in my entire life.

564
00:27:06,709 --> 00:27:09,210
- What's different?
- Well, like you,

565
00:27:09,211 --> 00:27:12,715
I just finally realized
that I'm already dead.

566
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:20,138
And once I just gave up that stress
of needing to stay alive, it's like,

567
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,723
shit got easier.

568
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:23,767
You know, I spent my whole life

569
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:27,187
going after Soldier Boy
for what he did to my family.

570
00:27:27,188 --> 00:27:29,398
Yet he's immortal?

571
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:33,485
He's immune? [scoffs]

572
00:27:33,486 --> 00:27:35,779
What kind of fucking cosmic joke is that?

573
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:37,740
So, you tell me, Butcher.

574
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:41,201
Why should I keep going?

575
00:27:41,202 --> 00:27:45,747
Well, you keep going
for Monique, for Janine.

576
00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:47,165
They're better off without me.

577
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:50,126
How can a man so smart be so fucking daft?

578
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:51,378
They are.

579
00:27:51,379 --> 00:27:54,214
And I'm better off without them.

580
00:27:54,215 --> 00:27:58,134
Because if I thought that
there was a snowball's chance in hell

581
00:27:58,135 --> 00:27:59,929
that I might see them again...

582
00:28:02,139 --> 00:28:07,770
...then I might be too scared to do
what you and me both need me to do.

583
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:16,153
[footsteps pattering]

584
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:18,571
[object clatters in distance]

585
00:28:18,572 --> 00:28:21,199
[lighthearted music playing]

586
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,285
[Terror panting]

587
00:28:27,456 --> 00:28:28,415
[Frenchie] Oh.

588
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:30,750
<i>Bonsoir, mon toutou.</i>

589
00:28:30,751 --> 00:28:33,002
You wonder what am I doing? [laughs]

590
00:28:33,003 --> 00:28:38,967
Oh, well, first, I made Kimiko
the perfect French ribeye.

591
00:28:38,968 --> 00:28:42,053
You know, she loves my steak.

592
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:46,349
And for dessert, my <i>soufflé au chocolat.</i>

593
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,686
It's a thing of legend.

594
00:28:53,941 --> 00:28:55,483
[Frenchie sighs]

595
00:28:55,484 --> 00:28:57,527
You know, she wants one of you.

596
00:28:57,528 --> 00:29:00,196
To... I don't know.

597
00:29:00,197 --> 00:29:03,324
What is it that you do?

598
00:29:03,325 --> 00:29:05,994
Eat? Sleep? Oh, fetch.

599
00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:10,373
[chuckles] I throw the ball,
you bring it back.

600
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:13,293
I throw the ball, you bring it back.

601
00:29:13,294 --> 00:29:16,087
It's a nightmare of futility.

602
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:18,631
What would I do with one of you?

603
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:21,384
I've killed every plant I've owned.

604
00:29:21,385 --> 00:29:23,553
I'd surely kill you, too.

605
00:29:23,554 --> 00:29:24,638
[grunts softly]

606
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:26,765
[sighs]

607
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,269
She deserves peace.

608
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,814
A normal life.

609
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:36,567
But I...

610
00:29:38,486 --> 00:29:41,070
[melancholy music playing]

611
00:29:41,071 --> 00:29:43,824
I don't know how to give her this.

612
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:49,162
If I even can.

613
00:29:49,163 --> 00:29:50,498
[grunts softly]

614
00:29:51,499 --> 00:29:55,169
- [timer ringing]
- Oh! Oh, la, la, la, la.

615
00:29:58,547 --> 00:30:01,716
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no. Aw...

616

618
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:07,931
[inhales sharply]

619
00:30:07,932 --> 00:30:10,058
I need fresh air. You want to come?

620
00:30:10,059 --> 00:30:11,184
Outside?

621
00:30:11,185 --> 00:30:12,769
No?

622
00:30:12,770 --> 00:30:14,355
Okay.

623
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:20,944
[Hughie] If you and M.M. still think--

624
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:22,570
[Butcher] Oh, for fuck's sakes,
Hughie, knock it off

625
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:25,282
with this V1 shite.
You're doing me fucking head in.

626
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:30,286
Oi. Terror. Cut it out. Come on.

627
00:30:30,287 --> 00:30:32,413
Now, listen, if we do find that stuff,

628
00:30:32,414 --> 00:30:34,958
we're not making any fucking vaccines
out of it, all right?

629
00:30:34,959 --> 00:30:36,793
We're not
the department of fucking health.

630
00:30:36,794 --> 00:30:39,128
We burn that shit before
Homelander gets his paws on it,

631
00:30:39,129 --> 00:30:41,089
- and that's that.
- Well, if you want to kill yourself,

632
00:30:41,090 --> 00:30:43,550
knock yourself out, but why do you
have to decide for the rest of us?

633
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:45,426
Oh, 'cause I'm fucking right!

634
00:30:45,427 --> 00:30:46,803
'Cause I've always been right!

635
00:30:46,804 --> 00:30:49,055
I've been telling you lot
from the fucking start

636
00:30:49,056 --> 00:30:51,683
the sky is falling, and guess what.

637
00:30:51,684 --> 00:30:53,309
The sky fucking fell.

638
00:30:53,310 --> 00:30:56,437
- Well, you kind of helped bring it down.
- Oh, don't give me that bollocks.

639
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:59,941
Listen, Homelander thinks
he's a fucking god.

640
00:30:59,942 --> 00:31:02,694
Once he becomes immortal,
he's gonna start killing like one,

641
00:31:02,695 --> 00:31:05,113
and we are talking millions of people.

642
00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:09,117
Now, are you telling me
you're honestly happy to risk all of that

643
00:31:09,118 --> 00:31:11,828
for a life on the run with your girl,

644
00:31:11,829 --> 00:31:15,249
knowing that you could've stopped it?

645
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:19,169
You can live with that, can you?

646
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:23,215
What if it was Becca?

647
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,468
You'd just let her die?

648
00:31:28,554 --> 00:31:30,556
[tense music playing]

649
00:31:31,974 --> 00:31:33,892
I did let her die.

650
00:31:34,977 --> 00:31:36,686
Look.

651
00:31:36,687 --> 00:31:39,522
I know that Homelander comes first.

652
00:31:39,523 --> 00:31:40,690
I really do.

653
00:31:40,691 --> 00:31:44,194
All I'm asking is that we try.

654
00:31:45,613 --> 00:31:47,573
Annie and Kimiko deserve that much.

655
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,575
[garbage can clatters]

656
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,244
Oi, Terror, no!

657
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,289
Oi, get out of there.
Oh, bloody hell. Is that chocolate?

658
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:58,166
Isn't chocolate bad for dogs?

659
00:31:58,167 --> 00:32:00,084
For a dog this old,
it's fucking lethal. Oi!

660
00:32:00,085 --> 00:32:03,212
Frenchie, you cunt!
Get me some hydrogen peroxide, would you?

661
00:32:03,213 --> 00:32:05,757
Okay, we have some in the first aid kit.
Give me one second.

662
00:32:05,758 --> 00:32:07,842
- What happened?
- You poisoned me fucking dog.

663
00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:10,637
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- What's going on?

664
00:32:10,638 --> 00:32:12,096
Look, all you need is charcoal.

665
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:13,473
- [Kimiko] We should call a vet.
- [Mother's Milk] They're gonna tell you

666
00:32:13,474 --> 00:32:14,766
- you need charcoal.
- [Hughie] Guys, we got this.

667
00:32:14,767 --> 00:32:16,893
- Just give us some room.
- I'll hold his mouth open, you pour.

668
00:32:16,894 --> 00:32:19,979
Right? On the count of three.
One, two, three.

669
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:21,273
Sorry, buddy.

670
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:23,108
There you go.

671
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:26,152

[Terror gagging, wheezing]

673
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:30,281
- [Butcher] Oof. That's it.
- Ew.

674
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:31,616
That's it. Good boy. You're all right.

675
00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:33,452
You're gonna be all right, boy.

676
00:32:35,287 --> 00:32:36,914
[sighs] Fucking hell.

677
00:32:41,001 --> 00:32:44,879
- Hey. You want some turkey?
- [Terror panting]

678
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,466
[distorted] Well, first,
you got to fuck me.

679
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,011
Then I'll give you the turkey.

680
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,059
Oi.

681
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,479
There he is, eh.

682
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,940
Oi. Hey, were you
having a dream, were you?

683
00:33:03,941 --> 00:33:05,234
Was it a goody?

[knock on door]

00:33:07,945 --> 00:33:09,112
How's he doing?

686
00:33:09,113 --> 00:33:11,031
[Butcher] Yeah, he's all right.

687
00:33:12,366 --> 00:33:14,534
Thank you for, uh...

688
00:33:14,535 --> 00:33:17,079
Yeah. It's all good.

[gentle music playing]

Oi.

Hughie.

692
00:33:33,137 --> 00:33:35,513
Listen, uh...

693
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:38,474
If we do find that V1,

694
00:33:38,475 --> 00:33:40,769
and if it don't fuck us, uh...

695
00:33:42,271 --> 00:33:43,939
...y-you can have some.

696
00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:49,652
For Annie and, uh... Kimiko.

697
00:33:49,653 --> 00:33:51,488
What about you?

698
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:56,784
Oi, but as soon as Frenchie's
got that shite sorted,

699
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:58,996
we're using it, all right? Ready or not.

700
00:34:04,752 --> 00:34:06,253
Ooh.

701
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,132
[softly] Yeah.

702
00:34:12,843 --> 00:34:14,303
What you looking at?

703
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:17,347
Nothing.

704
00:34:21,852 --> 00:34:25,939
And as for you, don't you ever
fucking do that to me again, all right?

705
00:34:26,774 --> 00:34:28,608
Good boy.

706
00:34:28,609 --> 00:34:33,696
Now, I caught Blondie trying to give
your wank-plush the boil wash,

707
00:34:33,697 --> 00:34:35,865
but I know how you love the crunchy goods.

708
00:34:35,866 --> 00:34:39,495
Yes, I do. I know how you love
those crunchy goods. Yeah.

709
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:44,583
[squeaking rhythmically]

710
00:34:51,882 --> 00:34:56,636
You do realize this kind of sudden
religious upheaval is likely

711
00:34:56,637 --> 00:34:58,763
to generate widespread civil unrest?

712
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:00,848
Local law can handle
the suburbs, but we could use

713
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:02,058
extra hands in major metros.

714
00:35:02,059 --> 00:35:04,769
All right, we'll recall
all the Supes stationed overseas.

715
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:07,730
American heroes should be
protecting America,

716
00:35:07,731 --> 00:35:10,024
not Who-Gives-A-Fuckistan.

717
00:35:10,025 --> 00:35:11,943
- [Firecracker laughs]
- Great idea.

718
00:35:11,944 --> 00:35:14,738
[intriguing music playing]

719
00:35:23,038 --> 00:35:25,040
- Where to?
- Crime analytics.

720
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,500
[elevator bell chimes]

721
00:35:27,501 --> 00:35:29,211
[elevator doors slide closed]

722
00:35:31,004 --> 00:35:33,382
- That was thrilling, wasn't it?
- [elevator beeping steadily]

723
00:35:34,842 --> 00:35:37,094
What a bright future we have ahead of us.

724
00:35:37,886 --> 00:35:39,638
It was a real Guccione piss party.

725
00:35:40,722 --> 00:35:44,601
Imagine how much more exciting it'll be
when Homelander becomes immortal.

726
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:46,936
Mm.

727
00:35:46,937 --> 00:35:49,356
Have you found the V1?

728
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:52,442
No.

729
00:35:53,193 --> 00:35:55,653
Homelander hasn't gotten anything
out of Stan Edgar?

730
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,907
No. But I haven't had a crack at him yet.

731
00:36:00,033 --> 00:36:01,033
[chuckles]

732
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,327
- [elevator bell chimes]
- [doors slide open]

733
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:05,330
[intriguing music playing]

734
00:36:06,623 --> 00:36:08,124
[doors slide closed]

735
00:36:08,125 --> 00:36:09,667
[door opens]

736
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:12,545
Jesus, give me a little personal space,
will you, Garth?

737
00:36:12,546 --> 00:36:13,880
[groans]

738
00:36:13,881 --> 00:36:17,466
Twenty-four-seven agents must be hard
for someone so into scat play.

739
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:19,010
You realize I do actually work?

740
00:36:19,011 --> 00:36:23,472
I was this close to convincing the FCC
to pull every broadcast license but VNN.

741
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:26,559
Homelander feels this is more important.

742
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,227
[sighs]

743
00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:30,229
What now?

744
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:31,814
The president and I
stand by this decision.

745
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:33,941
We need our American Supes
here in America.

746
00:36:33,942 --> 00:36:35,276
[man over phone speaking angrily]

747
00:36:35,277 --> 00:36:38,404
Well, isn't it kind of sort of
your fault for being invaded?

748
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:40,531
You might as well have been
wearing a short skirt.

749
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:43,201
Man, those Ukrainians sure have
a fucking mouth on them.

750
00:36:44,286 --> 00:36:46,787
Remember, you're doing the Lord's work.

751
00:36:46,788 --> 00:36:49,123
Word's out, Vought's stock is tanking.

752
00:36:49,124 --> 00:36:52,043
The international markets
are in freefall, and you're not

753
00:36:52,044 --> 00:36:55,171
- the least bit concerned?
- It's not about what I think.

754
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:56,632
It's what the man wants.

755
00:36:58,133 --> 00:36:59,884
It's always what the man wants.

756
00:36:59,885 --> 00:37:02,179
[dramatic music playing]

757
00:37:05,515 --> 00:37:07,099
You want a drink?

758
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,393
So, we're at the Climate Change Summit
in Reykjavík,

759
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:12,813
when the Swiss chancellor says
we should all race our Gulfstreams.

760
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:15,358
The amount of CO2 we splooged out?

761
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:19,905
The air was chewy the next day, lolz.
[laughs]

762
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:24,951
Come on. What do you want from me, Sage?

763
00:37:24,952 --> 00:37:26,827
What makes you think
I want anything from you?

764
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:29,789
You haven't called me the poster child
for late-term abortion once today.

765
00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:32,167
Truth be told, you're not the one I want.

766
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:35,711
I know you know what Homelander's doing.

767
00:37:35,712 --> 00:37:38,506
- [Bashley] He's going after the V1.
- Wait, what?!

768
00:37:38,507 --> 00:37:40,341
And if he gets any--

769
00:37:40,342 --> 00:37:42,426
- He lives forever.
- What is V1?

770
00:37:42,427 --> 00:37:45,054
And what do you mean
Homelander lives forever? [gasps]

771
00:37:45,055 --> 00:37:47,556
I've done what I can to make sure
he doesn't find any.

772
00:37:47,557 --> 00:37:49,934
How do you know about this and I don't?

773
00:37:49,935 --> 00:37:52,020
Have you two been talking without me?

774
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:56,065
Homelander is an open baby book,
but Soldier Boy is tricky.

775
00:37:56,066 --> 00:37:57,441
I need you to read his mind.

776
00:37:57,442 --> 00:37:59,568
What he knows, where they're headed next,

777
00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:03,615
and most importantly, if Soldier Boy
is warming up to his sadistic rugrat.

778
00:38:05,117 --> 00:38:06,242
Okay. I'm in.

779
00:38:06,243 --> 00:38:08,119
The fuck you are.

780
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,830
- We're not conspiring against Homelander.
- [Bashley] Hey.

781
00:38:10,831 --> 00:38:13,458
Don't forget the Aung San Suu Kyi quote
tramp stamped on our ass.

782
00:38:14,751 --> 00:38:16,210
"The only real prison is fear."

783
00:38:16,211 --> 00:38:18,879
- No, the only real prison is prison.
- Ashley--

784
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,924
What do you think happens to you if I die?

785
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:23,426
I'm not about to risk my neck

786
00:38:23,427 --> 00:38:26,304
because I let an overgrown boil
do my thinking for me.

787
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:29,223
Okay, fine. Just stay.

788
00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:30,933
Why? So you can play more mind games?

789
00:38:30,934 --> 00:38:33,394
You gave me your answer. I heard you.

790
00:38:33,395 --> 00:38:36,272
Now, don't make me drink alone.

791
00:38:36,273 --> 00:38:38,399
[dramatic music playing]

792
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,901
[Ashley] I'm starving. Are you starving?

793
00:38:40,902 --> 00:38:43,487
I'd kill for a chalupa right now.

794
00:38:43,488 --> 00:38:45,031
[Bashley] I'd kill for a big, juicy dick.

795
00:38:45,032 --> 00:38:46,407
Hey, we should call Gavin.

796
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:49,201
His girth was amazing,
and, oh, man, the amount of spunk

797
00:38:49,202 --> 00:38:51,454
he shot back here,
we looked like Pepé Le Pew.

798
00:38:51,455 --> 00:38:54,290
We are not booty-calling
my high school boyfriend.

799
00:38:54,291 --> 00:38:56,417
[Bashley] But he was so sweet.
And Mom loved him, remember?

800
00:38:56,418 --> 00:38:58,711
Yeah, well, Mom's dead,
so she doesn't get a say,

801
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:00,921
- and neither do you.
- What happened to her?

802
00:39:00,922 --> 00:39:02,548
Cancer.

803
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:04,300
My grandmother, too.

804
00:39:04,301 --> 00:39:07,471
What was she like? Your mother?

805
00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:11,349
Tiny. [laughs] And terrifying.

806
00:39:12,142 --> 00:39:14,935
This one bitch, Harper Hewitt,
used to make fun of my nose,

807
00:39:14,936 --> 00:39:18,022
so my mom tells Mr. Hewitt
that Mrs. Hewitt

808
00:39:18,023 --> 00:39:21,400
has been railing the UPS guy,
which she was.

809
00:39:21,401 --> 00:39:24,613
That was Mom,
bringing a nuke to a knife fight.

810
00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:29,617
So, they moved.

811
00:39:29,618 --> 00:39:31,495
And the rest of kindergarten was no sweat.

812
00:39:32,162 --> 00:39:36,624
My folks shot me up with V,
thinking I'd be a meal ticket.

813
00:39:36,625 --> 00:39:39,085
And then, my power
turned out to be smarts.

814
00:39:39,086 --> 00:39:40,753
Which is the worst fucking one.

815
00:39:40,754 --> 00:39:42,880
Try knowing what everyone
really thinks of you all day.

816
00:39:42,881 --> 00:39:43,964
Ooh, trust me.

817
00:39:43,965 --> 00:39:47,635
The thing people hate
more than just about anything

818
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:49,095
is feeling stupid.

819
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:53,891
So, when a three-year-old
corrects your grammar or, oh, tells them

820
00:39:53,892 --> 00:39:57,019
their "life dream yogurt shop"
is doomed to fail,

821
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:58,938
they start to hate you, too.

822
00:39:58,939 --> 00:40:00,022
Least my parents did.

823
00:40:00,023 --> 00:40:02,025
So they dumped me at my grandma's.

824
00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:04,527
But Grandma,

825
00:40:04,528 --> 00:40:08,197
she was the only one
who ever thought it was a gift.

826
00:40:08,198 --> 00:40:11,242
I would quote <i>Othello</i> to her
word for word,

827
00:40:11,243 --> 00:40:14,829
and-and... [sighs] she'd clap

828
00:40:14,830 --> 00:40:16,790
and laugh her big laugh.

829
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:22,754
I'm still so pissed she is gone.

830
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:26,590
I used to want to be like my mom.

831
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:29,510
Strong. Pushy as fuck.

832
00:40:29,511 --> 00:40:31,387
Didn't take shit from anyone.

833
00:40:31,388 --> 00:40:33,056
You still can.

834
00:40:34,307 --> 00:40:35,725
If you help me.

835
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,770
Fuck you.

836
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:41,605
You knew about my mom the whole time.

837
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:43,774
You drew it out of me
just to soften me up.

838
00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:47,027
- Did it work?
- No. This is my fucking problem with you.

839
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:49,238
I know you've been working
some big plan all year.

840
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,075
How am I supposed to trust you if I'm just
a pawn in your fucked-up chess game?

841
00:40:53,076 --> 00:40:54,536
All right.

842
00:40:55,537 --> 00:40:57,289
If I tell you, will you help me?

843
00:40:58,373 --> 00:41:00,124
I would heavily consider it.

844
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:04,295
Helping Homelander take control
of the country is phase one.

845
00:41:04,296 --> 00:41:07,047
It was only ever the beginning.
Phase two is the end.

846
00:41:07,048 --> 00:41:09,259
- The end of what?
- The world.

847
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:12,845
After this Supe-killing virus
is released--

848
00:41:12,846 --> 00:41:15,682
- Wait, you want it released?
- Oh, you bet I do.

849
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:21,687
After Supes realize humans are behind it,
all hell will break loose.

850
00:41:21,688 --> 00:41:25,065
Supes butchering humans,
virus butchering Supes.

851
00:41:25,066 --> 00:41:28,068
- Oh, fucking World War Supe.
- I don't believe you.

852
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:30,029
Swear on my grandma's soul.

853
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,072
Why would you possibly want that?

854
00:41:32,073 --> 00:41:36,285
'Cause I'll be watching from
my cozy bunker outside Colorado Springs.

855
00:41:36,286 --> 00:41:41,624
And when it's all over,
I can read all day every day,

856
00:41:41,625 --> 00:41:44,335
no one bothering me.

857
00:41:44,336 --> 00:41:47,087
Nothing but peace and quiet forever.

858
00:41:47,088 --> 00:41:49,548
[ominous music playing]

859
00:41:49,549 --> 00:41:51,926
Which is why Homelander can't survive.

860
00:41:51,927 --> 00:41:55,721
God, that needy asshole
would never give me a moment's rest.

861
00:41:55,722 --> 00:41:57,389
Yeah, defeats the whole purpose.

862
00:41:57,390 --> 00:42:01,061
Don't worry. You're invited to my bunker.

863
00:42:01,978 --> 00:42:03,605
You, too, Ashley.

864
00:42:06,149 --> 00:42:08,068
[Bashley] Fuck.

865
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,405
- Would you like some knee pads?
- Sorry? What?

866
00:42:13,406 --> 00:42:16,201
You're looking at me
like you want to suck my hog.

867
00:42:18,036 --> 00:42:20,538
So I'm asking you if you would like
some knee pads.

868
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:22,957
[Homelander] Go easy on the little guy.

869
00:42:22,958 --> 00:42:25,334
- He brought me Stan Edgar.
- [Deep] Thank you, sir.

870
00:42:25,335 --> 00:42:27,211
[Homelander] You may leave.

871
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:29,005
[triumphant music playing]

872
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:39,640
What crawled up your shithole?

873
00:42:39,641 --> 00:42:41,016
No idea what you mean.

874
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:43,602
When you're pissy,

875
00:42:43,603 --> 00:42:46,314
you tend to make
everybody else's lives pissy, too.

876
00:42:46,982 --> 00:42:49,733
Stan Edgar still stonewalling you?

877
00:42:49,734 --> 00:42:51,318
I've talked to him three times now.

878
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:55,572
Says he has no idea where the V1 is.
Heart rate steady as a rock.

879
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:56,949
I'm starting to believe him.

880
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:59,869
That slippery fuck
used to fetch my cocaine.

881
00:43:02,914 --> 00:43:05,542
You know what? I have an idea.

882
00:43:08,003 --> 00:43:10,422
Why don't I take a crack at him?

883
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:13,090
What, you don't trust me?

884
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:17,136
Well, you did lock me in a room
with nuclear material

885
00:43:17,137 --> 00:43:19,805
and, uh, tried to stop me getting the V1,

886
00:43:19,806 --> 00:43:25,060
so I'm sure you can understand
my hesitance.

887
00:43:25,061 --> 00:43:28,022
You could've killed me at Fort Harmony,
but you didn't.

888
00:43:28,023 --> 00:43:30,441
- Maybe I feel like I owe you.
- Or maybe you're lying.

889
00:43:30,442 --> 00:43:31,484
Maybe.

890
00:43:34,738 --> 00:43:36,531
[inhales deeply]

891
00:43:37,365 --> 00:43:38,742
Give me an hour.

892
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,368
I'll meet you at Edgar's cell.

[Soldier Boy] My, my, how the mighty
have fucked themselves square in the ass.

896
00:43:57,344 --> 00:43:58,844
Don't shit where you eat, Stan.

897
00:43:58,845 --> 00:44:00,929
So, you've called in reinforcements.

898
00:44:00,930 --> 00:44:03,182
I wanted to see the prick
that sold me out to the Reds.

899
00:44:03,183 --> 00:44:05,642
It wasn't personal.
It was a business decision.

900
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:08,562
We had your replacement model on the way.

901
00:44:08,563 --> 00:44:12,859
Even as a toddler, Homelander showed
more promise than you ever did.

902
00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:16,236
Not that it amounted to much.

903
00:44:16,237 --> 00:44:19,907
When have you ever done anything

904
00:44:19,908 --> 00:44:22,993
remotely interesting or original?

905
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:26,997
My power is absolute, Stan.

906
00:44:26,998 --> 00:44:30,084
At heights no one's even dreamed of.

907
00:44:30,085 --> 00:44:32,002
I'd call that pretty fucking original.

908
00:44:32,003 --> 00:44:33,712
Nothing that the lowest speck

909
00:44:33,713 --> 00:44:37,216
of this pointless species
couldn't have thought of,

910
00:44:37,217 --> 00:44:40,344
were they to be granted
your level of power.

911
00:44:40,345 --> 00:44:43,680
Why am I still alive?

912
00:44:43,681 --> 00:44:46,726
Oh, because you're useful, Stan.

913
00:44:47,727 --> 00:44:50,312
- And I always wanted a pet.
- Perhaps.

914
00:44:50,313 --> 00:44:53,649
Or is it because you are so desperate
for daddy figures

915
00:44:53,650 --> 00:44:57,820
that you can't even bring yourself
to kill the ones who hate you.

916
00:44:57,821 --> 00:45:01,282
At least that's something
he and I have in common.

917
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:03,910
Do you want to die, Stan?

918
00:45:09,374 --> 00:45:10,374
[Soldier Boy] Jesus.

919
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:12,961
You could get pregnant
with all the eye-fucking.

920
00:45:14,421 --> 00:45:15,921
Tempe, Arizona.

921
00:45:15,922 --> 00:45:17,506
Is that supposed to mean something?

922
00:45:17,507 --> 00:45:19,758
Well, I had the eggheads
in crime analytics

923
00:45:19,759 --> 00:45:23,387
track down your granddaughter, Zoe,

924
00:45:23,388 --> 00:45:24,805
and her dad.

925
00:45:24,806 --> 00:45:26,432

[tense music playing]

927
00:45:29,269 --> 00:45:31,019
So...

928
00:45:31,020 --> 00:45:33,731
where is the V1?

929
00:45:35,275 --> 00:45:38,695
As I told you, I genuinely don't know.

930
00:45:44,617 --> 00:45:46,994
But...

931
00:45:46,995 --> 00:45:48,912
I may know someone who does.

932
00:45:48,913 --> 00:45:51,875
You should go and see
Mister Marathon in L.A.

933
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:57,588
He's always had an intense interest
in Vought's history.

934
00:45:57,589 --> 00:46:00,757
It should be a delightful reunion.

Um, why-- [stammers] Uh, you know,
what-what brings you by?

943
00:46:20,737 --> 00:46:23,280
- Relax. We're just here to talk.
- Yeah, yeah, great, awesome.

945
00:46:25,617 --> 00:46:28,203
I actually, uh, popped my cherry
in your Underoos.

946
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:30,078
Nice.

947
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:31,622
So you were part of The Seven?

Champ, and you got slow.

00:46:42,175 --> 00:46:45,761

Sony Pictures TV.

960
00:47:02,403 --> 00:47:03,529
It's a legit studio.

961
00:47:03,530 --> 00:47:05,989
And I save half on their TVs.

962
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:08,075
And maybe we're not part
of the official VCU,

They rounded up Aziz, Macaulay,

- Joaquin, Kiefer, Meryl.
- I also heard they got Benedict.

- Wong or Cumberbatch?
- Both.

do anything but collect
their fucking residuals.

- They're very engaged.
- Look, here's what we do.

We all post about this
simultaneously on Instagram.

- [Seth] Black squares on the main feed.

- Black Lives Matter did black squares.
- [Seth] Fuck. You're right.

That's totally different.
- I wouldn't post that.

by some fucking group?

to write an editorial for <i>The Atlantic.</i>

- [Will] She's great.

- [Seth] That has great readership.
- She's a great writer.

- Universally beloved.

was when they executed Hader.

if he got vanished.

for 20 years, Chris.

- Yeah, but I really need this part, man.
- Oh, no. Oh, no.

away from me right now.

00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:02,749
Yeah, Dr. Vought was a,
was a titan, a visionary.

1026
00:50:02,750 --> 00:50:06,129
He was a pansy with a German accent
and sweaty palms.

1027
00:50:06,713 --> 00:50:08,797
[Mister Marathon] He was
a complicated guy.

1028
00:50:08,798 --> 00:50:11,592
[somber music playing]

1029
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:19,934
- [clears throat]
- Do you or do you not have V1?

1030
00:50:21,269 --> 00:50:23,103
I-I don't.

1031
00:50:23,104 --> 00:50:24,604
But Bombsight does.

1032
00:50:24,605 --> 00:50:26,022
He does.

1033
00:50:26,023 --> 00:50:28,442
- That piece of shit's still alive?
- Yeah.

1034
00:50:28,443 --> 00:50:30,318
Yeah, he was my best customer
for a long time.

1035
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:31,611
What makes you think he has it?

1036
00:50:31,612 --> 00:50:33,780
One night,
he was tweaked out of his gourd,

1037
00:50:33,781 --> 00:50:35,031
and he told me he had some,

1038
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:36,283
- and I believe him.
- Where is he?

1039
00:50:36,284 --> 00:50:37,367
Me and Bombsight are still cool.

1040
00:50:37,368 --> 00:50:40,162
Wh-Why don't we all just hang out
for a sec, and I-I'll call him.

1041
00:50:40,163 --> 00:50:42,248
He'll-he'll fly right over.

1042
00:50:43,249 --> 00:50:44,458

1043
00:50:44,459 --> 00:50:46,168
[rap music playing quietly]

1044
00:50:46,169 --> 00:50:48,296
[Mister Marathon snorts,
clears throat, sniffs]

1045
00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:51,631
I scooped this up from Bogotá
while you were taking a piss.

1046
00:50:51,632 --> 00:50:53,925
- Mm.
- I mean, for the Soldier Boy,

1047
00:50:53,926 --> 00:50:55,927
- nothing but the best.
- Mm.

1048
00:50:55,928 --> 00:50:57,430
[clears throat]

1049
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:01,267
[Christopher] Seth?

1050
00:51:02,351 --> 00:51:04,311
Oh. No, I actually hate weed.

1051
00:51:04,312 --> 00:51:07,774
I just pretend to like it for my brand,
so I can sell ashtrays to suckers.

1052
00:51:09,776 --> 00:51:12,110
Um... [clears throat] Yo, Homelander.

1053
00:51:12,111 --> 00:51:15,405
[clears throat] Uh, you want to hit this?

1054
00:51:15,406 --> 00:51:17,949
It is my life goal
to smoke you out, homie.

1055
00:51:17,950 --> 00:51:19,494
[groans]

1056
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:22,163
Don't call me that.

1057
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:24,998
[Malchemical] Homelander.

1058
00:51:24,999 --> 00:51:26,876
It's good to see you again.

1059
00:51:30,046 --> 00:51:31,379
- Do I know you?
- Yeah.

1060
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:34,508
Uh, we met, like, six times. Malchemical.

1061
00:51:34,509 --> 00:51:36,134
Make deadly gasses.

1062
00:51:36,135 --> 00:51:38,304
Did that whole campaign with Gas-X.

1063
00:51:41,474 --> 00:51:43,391
[sighs] That's embarrassing.

1064
00:51:43,392 --> 00:51:46,478
[Mister Marathon] Homelander still
as weird as he was when I was there?

1065
00:51:46,479 --> 00:51:49,981
- Well, I wasn't there back then, but yes.
- [laughs]

1066
00:51:49,982 --> 00:51:52,275
So, get this. One time, at Les Deux,

1067
00:51:52,276 --> 00:51:54,277
Mischa Barton
wanted to suck him off, right?

1068
00:51:54,278 --> 00:51:55,904
He spent two hours talking to her

1069
00:51:55,905 --> 00:51:58,198
about Nietzsche,
then left when she stepped on his cape.

1070
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:00,450
Ugh. That fucking cape.

1071
00:52:00,451 --> 00:52:02,077
- Like a baby with a blanket.
- [laughs]

1072
00:52:02,078 --> 00:52:05,539
Pretty sure he jerks off into it.
Probably why it's so stiff. [chuckles]

1073
00:52:05,540 --> 00:52:06,957
[Homelander] Say that again.

1074
00:52:06,958 --> 00:52:09,252
[unsettling music playing]

1075
00:52:10,336 --> 00:52:12,213
Oh, can't you take a fucking joke?

1076
00:52:15,091 --> 00:52:16,217
Say it again.

1077
00:52:18,553 --> 00:52:19,636
Thought as much.

1078
00:52:19,637 --> 00:52:21,596
If Bombsight's not coming, I'm leaving.

1079
00:52:21,597 --> 00:52:23,516
No, he's on his way, be here any minute.
I swear.

1080
00:52:27,395 --> 00:52:28,395
Nah, I'm done.

1081
00:52:28,396 --> 00:52:29,772
[sighs]

1082
00:52:31,399 --> 00:52:33,568
- Oh, shit.
- [Homelander] By the way... Hey!

1083
00:52:34,402 --> 00:52:35,569
I heard you all.

1084
00:52:35,570 --> 00:52:37,320
And I want you all to know

1085
00:52:37,321 --> 00:52:39,865
that very soon, gentlemen,
you are going to pay

1086
00:52:39,866 --> 00:52:43,201
for your sick posts
and your hateful memes.

1087
00:52:43,202 --> 00:52:45,246
Especially the memes.

1088
00:52:48,082 --> 00:52:49,291
What, no, no, no, no.

1089
00:52:49,292 --> 00:52:50,959
- I-It was Kumail and Seth's idea.
- What?!

1090
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,544
- Fuck you, Forte! That--
- I-I was against it. I was against it.

1091
00:52:52,545 --> 00:52:54,671
It was, it was fucking his idea, man!

1092
00:52:54,672 --> 00:52:56,756
He is just sucking your dick
so you can help his shitty fucking career.

1093
00:52:56,757 --> 00:52:58,091
[Will] Take them, okay?

1094
00:52:58,092 --> 00:52:59,551
Shit, I-I'll take 'em out
for you right now.

1095
00:52:59,552 --> 00:53:01,094
Oh, really, yeah?
You want to take me, bitch?

1096
00:53:01,095 --> 00:53:03,013
- I'm fucking yoked now.
- Shut up, Forte.
- Really? Okay--

1097
00:53:03,014 --> 00:53:04,848
- Forte, you're making this worse--
- I'm not!

1098
00:53:04,849 --> 00:53:06,516
Everybody, stop!

1099
00:53:06,517 --> 00:53:08,685
We really should round up Michael Cera.

1100
00:53:08,686 --> 00:53:10,604
[sighs]

1101
00:53:10,605 --> 00:53:12,188
Homelander.

1102
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:14,150
- S-Sorry. Quick question.
- What?

1103
00:53:15,067 --> 00:53:16,902
Oh, for fuck's sakes.

1104
00:53:16,903 --> 00:53:18,654
[hissing]

1105
00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:21,157
[gasping]

1106
00:53:22,158 --> 00:53:24,034
- Ooh!
- Who's memorable now?

1107
00:53:24,035 --> 00:53:26,077
- What the fuck?
- Easy. Easy. Easy.

1108
00:53:26,078 --> 00:53:29,164
- Can we fuck off, please?!
- Chill out, MacGruber. Everything's cool.

1109
00:53:29,165 --> 00:53:30,874
Hey, man, we don't have
a problem with you, honest,

1110
00:53:30,875 --> 00:53:33,168
but-but-but-but fuck this fucking guy.

1111
00:53:33,169 --> 00:53:34,711
You know, he fucked my life.

1112
00:53:34,712 --> 00:53:38,340
Look, i-if you help us get rid of him,
then we all win, and you,

1113
00:53:38,341 --> 00:53:39,925
you can have The Seven.

1114
00:53:39,926 --> 00:53:42,469
And I don't even, like, really care
if you bring me back or whatever.

1115
00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:44,012
I don't need to kill him to get The Seven.

1116
00:53:44,013 --> 00:53:45,221
No, yeah, of course not,

1117
00:53:45,222 --> 00:53:47,265
but what about all that creepy shit
he's doing with that church?

1118
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:49,643
I mean, they're rounding up
everybody cool,

1119
00:53:49,644 --> 00:53:51,561
all the hookers, the drug dealers.

1120
00:53:51,562 --> 00:53:53,021
They want to ban porn.

1121
00:53:53,022 --> 00:53:55,190
- I mean, they want to ban
fucking abortions.
- [Mister Marathon] Yeah.

1122
00:53:55,191 --> 00:53:58,485
Okay, well, banning abortion would be
a big problem for me personally.

1123
00:53:58,486 --> 00:53:59,694
[Mister Marathon] Exactly, for all of us.

1124
00:53:59,695 --> 00:54:02,906
S-So, if we kill him,
w-we can stop worrying about being

1125
00:54:02,907 --> 00:54:06,326
cops or-or-or gods or-or asexual weirdos.

1126
00:54:06,327 --> 00:54:09,871
You know, we can go back to fucking
and-and being fucking awesome.

1127
00:54:09,872 --> 00:54:12,999
Look, we know you've got that
fucked-up chest blast thing.

1128
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,918
I mean, I was at Herogasm. I saw it.

1129
00:54:14,919 --> 00:54:16,211
[Mister Marathon] Just finish him now.

1130
00:54:16,212 --> 00:54:18,713
Take away his powers,
so we can curb stomp him

1131
00:54:18,714 --> 00:54:19,965
while we have the chance.

[tense music playing]

1133
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:29,516
He is a fucking asexual weirdo.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1135
00:54:31,978 --> 00:54:34,896
But as much as it pains me to say this,

1136
00:54:34,897 --> 00:54:37,984
he's my fucking asexual weirdo.

1137
00:54:40,987 --> 00:54:44,073
- Nobody fucks my son but me.
- What?

1138
00:54:44,907 --> 00:54:46,574

What happened?

1193
00:57:45,337 --> 00:57:46,922
I took care of it.

1194
00:57:49,925 --> 00:57:51,093
Why?

1195
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:54,929
Because fuck them.

1196
00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:56,182
That's why.

1197
00:57:57,516 --> 00:57:59,684
I don't think this micro-prick was lying.

1198
00:57:59,685 --> 00:58:02,646
Bombsight has the V1.
We just got to find him.

1199
00:58:04,481 --> 00:58:06,149
Also, um...

1200
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:08,151
[smacks lips]

1201
00:58:08,152 --> 00:58:09,820
I've been fucking Firecracker.

1202
00:58:11,447 --> 00:58:16,827
But out of respect for you,
that's, uh... that's done.

1203
00:58:18,746 --> 00:58:22,833
Plus, her pillow talk was
getting to be a real drag.

1204
00:58:24,251 --> 00:58:25,544
Pillow talk?

1210
00:59:03,958 --> 00:59:06,042
Did you catch tonight's <i>Truthbomb?</i>

1211
00:59:06,043 --> 00:59:07,377
I did indeed.

1212
00:59:07,378 --> 00:59:09,837
And it was a real barnburner.

1213
00:59:09,838 --> 00:59:11,631
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir.

1214
00:59:11,632 --> 00:59:13,092

Is he good at it?

1218
00:59:21,308 --> 00:59:24,143
Are you thinking about me

1219
00:59:24,144 --> 00:59:27,022
when you're making love to him?

1220
00:59:28,190 --> 00:59:30,441
I never meant to cross a line

1221
00:59:30,442 --> 00:59:32,652
- or offend you in--
- Oh, no. No, no, no, no.

1222
00:59:32,653 --> 00:59:34,112
Don't fret, little one.

1223
00:59:34,113 --> 00:59:36,573
I don't care about the sex, really.

1224
00:59:38,075 --> 00:59:40,536
But I do care about
your little chats after sex.

1225
00:59:41,453 --> 00:59:43,997
Sir, whatever Soldier Boy told you,
I can assure you that I--

1226
00:59:43,998 --> 00:59:49,586
You mean, uh, your inner turmoil
when it comes to me and, uh...

1227
00:59:50,546 --> 00:59:53,047
[sighs] Jesus?

1228
00:59:53,048 --> 00:59:56,884
Are you thinking of Jesus
when you're praising me?

1229
00:59:56,885 --> 01:00:00,346
No, you are my one and only savior.

1230
01:00:00,347 --> 01:00:04,935
You s-say that, but your jagged little
heart is whirring like a hummingbird.

1231

[sighs]

1232
01:00:09,189 --> 01:00:11,899
You're supposed to worship me.

1233
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:13,401
Love me.

1234
01:00:13,402 --> 01:00:15,278
And me alone.

1235
01:00:15,279 --> 01:00:17,488
- I do.
- I believed in you.

1236
01:00:17,489 --> 01:00:19,283
Turns out...

1237
01:00:20,909 --> 01:00:22,202
...you don't believe in me.

1238
01:00:25,539 --> 01:00:27,249
I need you to collect your things...

1239
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:30,210
...and leave.

1240
01:00:32,087 --> 01:00:33,838
But I do believe in you.

1241
01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:35,673
I love you.

1242
01:00:35,674 --> 01:00:38,968
I am the only one here who ever has!

1243
01:00:38,969 --> 01:00:41,179
I gave you everything.

1244
01:00:41,180 --> 01:00:43,014
I gave you my soul.

1245
01:00:43,015 --> 01:00:45,725
Everybody else here, they're just...

1246
01:00:45,726 --> 01:00:47,894
they're just scared of you.

1247
01:00:47,895 --> 01:00:53,816
Or they want something from you,
but I have always loved you for you.

01:00:53,817 --> 01:00:58,821
Just the strongest, smartest,

1249

[scoffs] Man?

1251
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:04,202
No, no, no, no, no. A god. No.

1252
01:01:04,203 --> 01:01:06,830
No, the God.

1253
01:01:07,664 --> 01:01:11,377
My Lord, that look you used to get
when you'd suckle me?

1254
01:01:12,419 --> 01:01:15,213
I felt like Mother Mary herself.

1255
01:01:15,214 --> 01:01:20,134
I felt blessed to nourish someone as...

1256
01:01:20,135 --> 01:01:22,262
- important as you.
- [sighs]

1257

[sighs]

1258
01:01:26,100 --> 01:01:28,644
But nothing I ever did
was good enough, was it?

1259
01:01:29,561 --> 01:01:31,939
You cast me out into the cold.

1260
01:01:32,564 --> 01:01:37,110
Which was so much worse than never feeling
your warmth in the first place.

1261
01:01:37,111 --> 01:01:39,862
So all I have been trying to do

1262
01:01:39,863 --> 01:01:42,991
is to get you to see me
the way that you used to.

1263
01:01:44,118 --> 01:01:48,747
Hell, only reason I was with Soldier Boy
was because your reflected light...

1264
01:01:50,666 --> 01:01:52,501
...is better than no light at all.

1265
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:54,711
Please, sir.

1266
01:01:56,630 --> 01:01:57,965
I love you.

1267
01:01:58,549 --> 01:02:00,467
We all need love, don't we?

1268
01:02:03,178 --> 01:02:04,346
Even God.
