The Boys

Season 2, Episode 7 — Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

Holy shit!

#1

⇓

We are going to hold hearings on Vought and Compound V.

#2

⇓

I'm the world's greatest superhero.

#3

⇓

You're my greatest failure.

#4

⇓

I do like you. You got spunk.

#5

⇓

You'll be a big help to me.

#6

⇓

What the hell does that mean?

#7

⇓

That's Lamplighter.

#8

⇓

These people are test subjects. Trying to stabilise the V.

#9

⇓

Anytime, you get a solid Supe.

#10

⇓

- Why would Vought do that? - We are in a war for the culture.

#11

⇓

But we can fight back

#12

⇓

with an army of supermen, millions strong.

#13

⇓

Everyone I have ever loved is in the ground.

#14

⇓

And then I found you.

#15

⇓

We found each other.

#16

⇓

Thirty percent of the public is hardcore aware now,

#17

⇓

and know how the system works.

#18

⇓

And we don't do anything about it.

#19

⇓

And that's why superterrorists continue to invade America.

#20

⇓

Illegal immigrants pour into this country every day.

#21

⇓

Any one of them could be a superterrorist.

#22

⇓

Many are calling for more superheroes,

#23

⇓

in order to counter the superterrorist threat

#24

⇓

and protect Americans.

#25

⇓

- I gotta go. I'm late for class. - Thanks.

#26

⇓

- Have a good day, hon. - All of us need to stand up.

#27

⇓

I'm sick of waiting for some executive to finish racquet...

#28

⇓

We are going to hold hearings on Vought and Compound V.

#29

⇓

That's $1.45.

#30

⇓

I'm gonna tell you something I shouldn't.

#31

⇓

Something the government doesn't want you...

#32

⇓

And they want more superterrorists.

#33

⇓

People are pointing out, the rush to judgement by the left...

#34

⇓

- Victoria Neuman's accusation... - No offence...

#35

⇓

Have a good day, hon.

#36

⇓

Why does it matter what some supervillain-loving snowflake...

#37

⇓

Every minute we waste,

#38

⇓

one superterrorist has already gotten through.

#39

⇓

- More will come. - $12.45.

#40

⇓

And, I mean, for all we know,

#41

⇓

these maniacs could've already flown over our borders.

#42

⇓

- And be standing next to you. - You all right, pal?

#43

⇓

- Waiting for the chance to kill. - Yeah.

#44

⇓

Keep America safe again. I am so glad that I was there this time.

#45

⇓

- I am counting on you. - Have a good day, hon.

#46

⇓

- Every minute we wait... - No, it's up to us.

#47

⇓

We have to make our voices heard...

#48

⇓

I am counting on you to show us the way.

#49

⇓

Don't let me down.

#50

⇓

Hey.

#51

⇓

I saw the light in your eyes.

#52

⇓

Take the money.

#53

⇓

You one of them? Fucking supervillain?

#54

⇓

- What? - Are you bullet-proof?

#55

⇓

No, please.

#56

⇓

I have a family. Please.

#57

⇓

♪ What a wonderful world ♪

#58

⇓

♪ What a wonderful world ♪

#59

⇓

Look, I told you. Stormfront gave the orders. I just executed them.

#60

⇓

It was, um...

#61

⇓

It wasn't easy.

#62

⇓

We can all agree that you're the real victim here.

#63

⇓

Let's cut the shit. Go over it again from the start.

#64

⇓

I just left The Seven. Mr Edgar invited me to his club.

#65

⇓

Put away that petulant look before you hurt someone with it.

#66

⇓

I should be chuffed we're pissing away the best asset we ever got.

#67

⇓

- Your plan would be? - Same as always.

#68

⇓

Squeeze the cunt till he gives up the next cunt.

#69

⇓

Kill the fuck when we're done.

#70

⇓

I've no doubt you'd be happy with that unending cycle of brutality.

#71

⇓

How can you not want blood for what he done?

#72

⇓

He's willing to speak against Vought at the hearing.

#73

⇓

We've never had Congress on our side.

#74

⇓

Congress? Please.

#75

⇓

What a bunch of corrupt cunts they are.

#76

⇓

You're not the first person to call me a cunt, Mr Butcher.

#77

⇓

I'm starting to think it's a badge of honour.

#78

⇓

Term of endearment where I'm from.

#79

⇓

Hmm.

#80

⇓

Well?

#81

⇓

Opposition will have a field day with him.

#82

⇓

Disgruntled ex-Supe.

#83

⇓

I'm sure he's fucked half the Sacred Heart cheerleaders.

#84

⇓

But, yeah, he'll be a good witness. It's not enough, though.

#85

⇓

Not enough? If torturing and burning a bunch of mentals on Vought's say-so

#86

⇓

ain't enough for you, then what are you good for?

#87

⇓

A strongly worded tweet?

#88

⇓

You're a wanted felon. We don't need you.

#89

⇓

Yes, we do, Lisa.

#90

⇓

Mr Butcher has fought Vought harder than we have.

#91

⇓

But I would like a turn,

#92

⇓

if we can trust each other.

#93

⇓

I think we can.

#94

⇓

- Trust each other. - Hold still.

#95

⇓

What do you need?

#96

⇓

We know what they were doing at Sage Grove, but we don't know why.

#97

⇓

Why test Compound V on patients?

#98

⇓

What do they want? I need the full picture.

#99

⇓

If we take a shot at the king, we can't fucking miss.

#100

⇓

We know someone who might know the full picture.

#101

⇓

Well, that's fucking rich.

#102

⇓

Who is it?

#103

⇓

Like you said, we're gonna have to trust each other.

#104

⇓

Would you like a coffee?

#105

⇓

Um, no, thanks.

#106

⇓

How about a white chocolate unicorn frap? They're really good.

#107

⇓

- No. - I'll get one to share.

#108

⇓

Mom, I don't want a fucking unicorn frappé.

#109

⇓

Okay, sorry.

#110

⇓

Just nervous.

#111

⇓

When did you get to town?

#112

⇓

I never left.

#113

⇓

I'm staying at the Days Inn in Newark.

#114

⇓

I'm not leaving until we talk this out.

#115

⇓

I know what I've done to you.

#116

⇓

Believe me, I know.

#117

⇓

Mom, it's not just you.

#118

⇓

It's...

#119

⇓

Do you remember that...

#120

⇓

cross you gave me for confirmation?

#121

⇓

Before every save that I went on, I would touch it.

#122

⇓

Like a football player leaving a locker room.

#123

⇓

I thought that God was sending me on a mission.

#124

⇓

I feel so stupid.

#125

⇓

I gave my whole life to nothing.

#126

⇓

- That's not true. - Mom.

#127

⇓

The good guys don't win.

#128

⇓

The bad guys don't get punished.

#129

⇓

What we do means nothing, it's just all for money, and...

#130

⇓

I'm in the middle of all of it.

#131

⇓

Alone.

#132

⇓

Honey, you're not alone.

#133

⇓

You're not.

#134

⇓

Let's go away. You and me.

#135

⇓

Let's get away from all of this. Get away from Vought.

#136

⇓

Escape for a while.

#137

⇓

I cleared it already.

#138

⇓

You cleared what?

#139

⇓

With Ashley at Vought.

#140

⇓

You called them?

#141

⇓

About an hour ago. Why?

#142

⇓

They could be looking...

#143

⇓

Mom!

#144

⇓

Colonel, you think the congresswoman is in danger?

#145

⇓

She has her security detail.

#146

⇓

Which will be useless if a Supe drops in.

#147

⇓

She's our best chance to nail Vought,

#148

⇓

but only if you keep her alive until the hearing.

#149

⇓

And Serge?

#150

⇓

No abandoning your post this time.

#151

⇓

Hey.

#152

⇓

I'm all right. I'm coming with you.

#153

⇓

You're in no shape to go anywhere.

#154

⇓

Besides, we got a very important job for you.

#155

⇓

We need you to look after our star witness.

#156

⇓

Hey, you guys wanna watch Deep Does It in the Blowhole?

#157

⇓

Ready to get wet?

#158

⇓

- I don't wanna watch that film. - Yeah, you are.

#159

⇓

It's a classic. You'll love it.

#160

⇓

Butcher, let's go.

#161

⇓

Hello, Mum.

#162

⇓

Hey, Billy, you ain't been picking up.

#163

⇓

We're in a meeting.

#164

⇓

I'm in New York.

#165

⇓

Look, I told Judy to tell you not to fucking come.

#166

⇓

- Language. - It's a bleeding expensive plane ticket.

#167

⇓

- I ain't got time to just... - Billy.

#168

⇓

He's dead.

#169

⇓

Your father's dead.

#170

⇓

You there?

#171

⇓

When did that happen?

#172

⇓

Can I see you, please?

#173

⇓

I need to see you right now.

#174

⇓

Let me out!

#175

⇓

Come on.

#176

⇓

Please, let me out.

#177

⇓

Please, let me out.

#178

⇓

Please.

#179

⇓

Come on, man, stop. It's not cool.

#180

⇓

Guess you should've made your wife cum, snowflake cuck.

#181

⇓

You don't need the discs.

#182

⇓

- You can download... - What do you wanna watch next?

#183

⇓

Translucent the Invisible Cock.

#184

⇓

Queen Maeve Pleasure Slave.

#185

⇓

Big Black Noir.

#186

⇓

Oh, Starlight Pulls an A-Train.

#187

⇓

I'm good, I'm good, thank you.

#188

⇓

Okay. Different strokes, man.

#189

⇓

Don't say that in this context.

#190

⇓

I should just get up and leave.

#191

⇓

But you like watching Homebanger fuck me, don't you?

#192

⇓

Look, this isn't healthy, man.

#193

⇓

You can't watch porn while the sun's out.

#194

⇓

If I get up at that hearing, I'm dead. What difference does it make?

#195

⇓

Okay.

#196

⇓

Drop the remote, or I'll burn your face off.

#197

⇓

Fuck your wife like she deserves, cuck.

#198

⇓

You know I was a prodigy?

#199

⇓

A fucking prodigy.

#200

⇓

I lit my first fire at 4, burned my whole house down.

#201

⇓

My dad,

#202

⇓

he was so proud.

#203

⇓

"My son's a Supe."

#204

⇓

I was gonna do great things.

#205

⇓

I almost did.

#206

⇓

Now look at me.

#207

⇓

I'm like the cuck in the porn, sitting on the sidelines,

#208

⇓

while the heroes are out there, doing the fucking.

#209

⇓

Know why they left me to babysit you?

#210

⇓

Because you're useless?

#211

⇓

My mom, she, uh...

#212

⇓

Never mind.

#213

⇓

After she was gone,

#214

⇓

I watched my dad do nothing his whole life.

#215

⇓

But, me, I thought I'd finally found something.

#216

⇓

I thought I found what I was meant to do.

#217

⇓

But it turns out, I'm shit at that as well.

#218

⇓

You're not the cuck.

#219

⇓

I'm the cuck.

#220

⇓

Actually, you're worse.

#221

⇓

You're the cuck-fluffer.

#222

⇓

Hey.

#223

⇓

What's up?

#224

⇓

How are you doing out there? Good to see you.

#225

⇓

All right.

#226

⇓

Hey, do me a favour.

#227

⇓

Who's the real heroes?

#228

⇓

You are.

#229

⇓

Heck, yeah. I want to be clear.

#230

⇓

No one condones the tragic shooting at the convenience store.

#231

⇓

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kuldeep Singh's family.

#232

⇓

We are making a donation to Samaritan's Embrace in his name.

#233

⇓

Absolutely.

#234

⇓

Thoughts and prayers.

#235

⇓

But that doesn't change facts.

#236

⇓

This used to be a beautiful country.

#237

⇓

- Remember? - Yeah.

#238

⇓

One nation under God, remember?

#239

⇓

Right before these godless, inhuman supervillains

#240

⇓

started pouring across our borders,

#241

⇓

and dragging us down into their mud.

#242

⇓

What do SJWs, like Victoria Neuman, want us to do?

#243

⇓

Just let them in, and give them a cup of iced tea?

#244

⇓

- Then punish us for trying to stop them. - Right.

#245

⇓

Has there been anyone in history

#246

⇓

more persecuted just for trying to protect their own?

#247

⇓

- No! - That's right!

#248

⇓

We are at war.

#249

⇓

- Yeah! - We need more Compound V.

#250

⇓

- Absolutely. - We need more Supes.

#251

⇓

- More Supes. - We need more superheroes.

#252

⇓

More Supes...

#253

⇓

Now, I've always been honest with you, you know that.

#254

⇓

I gotta be honest with you now.

#255

⇓

Brings me no pleasure to tell you this, but we also had a mole in The Seven.

#256

⇓

That's right. One of our own.

#257

⇓

Starlight.

#258

⇓

I know, I know. It's okay.

#259

⇓

She's been apprehended and she can't hurt anyone else.

#260

⇓

I can't believe this.

#261

⇓

Put them in. All of them. I want all of them in at the same time.

#262

⇓

Okay, this is insane.

#263

⇓

- Hey. - No.

#264

⇓

Fuck, yeah.

#265

⇓

Starlight has been conspiring with the people

#266

⇓

who murdered, in cold blood, my brother.

#267

⇓

- Your hero, Translucent. - Oh, my God, fuck.

#268

⇓

- If you're just tuning in... - Okay.

#269

⇓

I bet you she's in 42D.

#270

⇓

You have reached the voicemail...

#271

⇓

Butcher, where are you?

#272

⇓

- If she's still alive. - Wait, what's 42D?

#273

⇓

At the Tower. Supe-proof, mostly. Steel walls, 6 feet thick.

#274

⇓

How do I get in?

#275

⇓

Into the Tower? You don't.

#276

⇓

Sorry, man, but she's probably dead.

#277

⇓

There's gotta be something. A secret entrance?

#278

⇓

Maybe one or two. But forget it, man, it's crazy.

#279

⇓

Show me. Come with me.

#280

⇓

You're still fucked up.

#281

⇓

- Exactly why I need your help. - Get your friends.

#282

⇓

Butcher isn't picking up. The others are across the state.

#283

⇓

We gotta go. Now.

#284

⇓

Listen, Vought screwed you over, right?

#285

⇓

They're trying to do the same thing to her.

#286

⇓

This shit is over for me.

#287

⇓

My whole life is over, okay?

#288

⇓

This is your last chance to be a hero again.

#289

⇓

Come on, do you wanna be the cuck,

#290

⇓

or do you wanna be the guy who fucks the wife?

#291

⇓

Okay, yeah, yeah.

#292

⇓

Let's go fuck the wife. Consensually. Come on, come on.

#293

⇓

Hello, Mum.

#294

⇓

You come with me.

#295

⇓

Now don't hate me.

#296

⇓

Why would I hate you?

#297

⇓

I'm sorry. It was my idea.

#298

⇓

But you wouldn't come any other way.

#299

⇓

No, no, no, don't. He hasn't got much time.

#300

⇓

Not my problem, it's yours, because you stayed with the cunt.

#301

⇓

Have I ever asked you for anything, ever?

#302

⇓

William.

#303

⇓

What, no hug?

#304

⇓

You step one inch closer,

#305

⇓

and I'll kill you quicker than that fucking ass cancer.

#306

⇓

I'll bet you would.

#307

⇓

I seen on the news, you topped that Stillwell slag.

#308

⇓

It weren't me, but thanks for your support.

#309

⇓

Hey, please, please.

#310

⇓

I just wanna talk.

#311

⇓

Two minutes.

#312

⇓

Ooh.

#313

⇓

Been following the Ashes?

#314

⇓

You wanna talk about fucking cricket?

#315

⇓

You remember the '83 World Cup?

#316

⇓

I took you to every match.

#317

⇓

Leeds, Old Trafford.

#318

⇓

You loved it.

#319

⇓

Did you know why I loved it?

#320

⇓

You'd get on the piss with your loser mates.

#321

⇓

I could fuck off for hours, and you'd never know.

#322

⇓

Let's not do this, then.

#323

⇓

Yeah, let's not.

#324

⇓

I know I was no perfect father.

#325

⇓

I know I never got a chance to say goodbye to Lenny.

#326

⇓

I don't want that with you.

#327

⇓

Didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Lenny?

#328

⇓

You're the reason he's dead.

#329

⇓

Let me tell you something, William. It's a shit world out there.

#330

⇓

You can't rely on no one but yourself.

#331

⇓

You either sink, or you swim.

#332

⇓

And in Lenny's case, he chose to sink.

#333

⇓

You don't have the fucking right to mention his name.

#334

⇓

I fucking loved Lenny.

#335

⇓

But he wasn't hard like you. That's why you're here, and he's dead.

#336

⇓

You beat the fucking shit out of the both of us.

#337

⇓

Maybe I pushed you a bit hard.

#338

⇓

But look at you.

#339

⇓

- Get off. - You afraid of anything? No?

#340

⇓

Are you the strongest bastard you know?

#341

⇓

Yeah.

#342

⇓

Tougher than I ever was.

#343

⇓

Oh, you're welcome, asshole.

#344

⇓

Lenny stuck that gun in his mouth when you couldn't hack it anymore,

#345

⇓

and you pissed off to join the SAS, like a right cunt.

#346

⇓

You're the one who abandoned him, not me.

#347

⇓

You're a fucking monster.

#348

⇓

- It takes one to know one. - Billy, for Christ's sake.

#349

⇓

Pack it in. Pack it in.

#350

⇓

Stop.

#351

⇓

Jesus Christ.

#352

⇓

What have you done?

#353

⇓

See?

#354

⇓

Lenny could never have done that.

#355

⇓

Christ, Billy.

#356

⇓

Jesus.

#357

⇓

- Sorry, we gotta go. - All right, guys.

#358

⇓

Thanks very much. Take care. God bless.

#359

⇓

God bless.

#360

⇓

- It's a mistake. - What is?

#361

⇓

Keeping fucking Starlight alive.

#362

⇓

Yep.

#363

⇓

I underestimated her before. I will not do it again.

#364

⇓

"Starlight is a Traitor" is trending number one.

#365

⇓

We've got a million tweets in support of Compound V.

#366

⇓

A common enemy rallies the base.

#367

⇓

Just trust me.

#368

⇓

All right.

#369

⇓

And if I can get my hands on Hugh Campbell,

#370

⇓

maybe pull his spine out the back of his neck.

#371

⇓

You okay?

#372

⇓

Yeah, I just, um...

#373

⇓

Your daughter?

#374

⇓

Yeah.

#375

⇓

Eighty years ago, she looked exactly like that.

#376

⇓

Sometimes it feels like yesterday.

#377

⇓

I got something I want to show you.

#378

⇓

Want to finish up the backyard?

#379

⇓

Okay, I'm gonna put this person...

#380

⇓

Hey, guys.

#381

⇓

Hello.

#382

⇓

This is Stormfront. Stormfront, this is Rebecca.

#383

⇓

Very nice to meet you.

#384

⇓

And this, my son.

#385

⇓

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

#386

⇓

Listen, um...

#387

⇓

I know last time, I screwed up bigtime.

#388

⇓

And I just want you to know,

#389

⇓

I'm never gonna push you that hard again, okay?

#390

⇓

All right, Ryan, I'd love you to meet my girlfriend.

#391

⇓

Stormfront.

#392

⇓

- Wow, he looks just like you. - You think?

#393

⇓

Are you serious? Those eyes.

#394

⇓

Hey, Ryan.

#395

⇓

Your daddy told me all about you.

#396

⇓

- You have superpowers, huh? - Mm-hm.

#397

⇓

That makes you very, very special.

#398

⇓

You are the first natural-born superhero.

#399

⇓

Can we not?

#400

⇓

That's right. Um...

#401

⇓

Ryan does have powers,

#402

⇓

but his mom doesn't like to talk about them, or use them.

#403

⇓

Can you also let me know before you just pop by?

#404

⇓

He's Ryan's father. He has a right to see his son.

#405

⇓

That's very true, but look.

#406

⇓

We all just have Ryan's best interests at heart, right?

#407

⇓

Yes, we do.

#408

⇓

I'm sorry I haven't been here enough.

#409

⇓

Ryan, I'd really like you to get to know Stormfront.

#410

⇓

I would. She's someone I care about very much.

#411

⇓

And I think you will too.

#412

⇓

So I think we'll be around more.

#413

⇓

A lot more.

#414

⇓

I want us to be a family.

#415

⇓

Hey.

#416

⇓

Empire Wok.

#417

⇓

Hi.

#418

⇓

That was a fraught "hi."

#419

⇓

I'm going to my sister's for a while.

#420

⇓

I have a plan.

#421

⇓

You don't need to be scared of Homelander...

#422

⇓

That little girl.

#423

⇓

On the plane.

#424

⇓

What she must have gone through in those last few moments.

#425

⇓

I lie awake every night thinking about that.

#426

⇓

Me too.

#427

⇓

Then I start snowballing,

#428

⇓

and wondering, how many other people have you killed?

#429

⇓

- What else have you done? - I had no choice.

#430

⇓

I'm not blaming you. I'm not. It is not your fault.

#431

⇓

Will you just...? Will you sit down?

#432

⇓

It's not fair.

#433

⇓

- Will you sit down? - I wish I were as strong as you.

#434

⇓

But I'm not.

#435

⇓

I just need time.

#436

⇓

Over and over...

#437

⇓

you said you wanted to see the real me.

#438

⇓

This is the real me.

#439

⇓

I know.

#440

⇓

I'm sorry.

#441

⇓

Yes?

#442

⇓

I'm here to see Jonah.

#443

⇓

He's not taking any visitors.

#444

⇓

Tell him it's Grace Mallory.

#445

⇓

Goddamn.

#446

⇓

We're on the wrong team.

#447

⇓

Moral compromise does have its privileges.

#448

⇓

Grace, I thought you retired.

#449

⇓

Dr Vogelbaum. I thought you were taller.

#450

⇓

Sonia, can you get some tea?

#451

⇓

Thank you, but we won't be staying long enough.

#452

⇓

Ah, yes, there's that Waspy patrician tone.

#453

⇓

All business.

#454

⇓

What do you know about Sage Grove Centre?

#455

⇓

Never heard of it. Should I have?

#456

⇓

Considering Vought's been doing illegal tests there

#457

⇓

since you were the CSO, and they're still doing them to this day.

#458

⇓

- Seems like you should've. - Horrible.

#459

⇓

Maybe it was Sonnenshine's project over in R & D.

#460

⇓

Prick always had a real God complex.

#461

⇓

Do you recall the deal we made?

#462

⇓

In exchange for me graciously dropping certain involuntary manslaughter charges?

#463

⇓

I recall it was a long time ago.

#464

⇓

Doesn't expire until the statute of limitations does.

#465

⇓

Then I guess I'm turning myself in.

#466

⇓

We don't have to do this dance anymore.

#467

⇓

We're both out.

#468

⇓

Just a couple of retirees, shooting the shit on the back nine.

#469

⇓

We both know Vought fucked you.

#470

⇓

Probably put you in that chair.

#471

⇓

Help us fuck them back.

#472

⇓

Testify to Congress.

#473

⇓

That's my daughter.

#474

⇓

She took time off from her practise

#475

⇓

to help a bitter old invalid.

#476

⇓

I'm sorry to say this, Grace,

#477

⇓

but you're the very last person who should be asking me for help.

#478

⇓

After what you lost?

#479

⇓

Do what you like to me.

#480

⇓

But some things are more important than the right thing.

#481

⇓

He's right, of course.

#482

⇓

You should listen to him.

#483

⇓

- Ma'am? - Go back to your wife and daughter.

#484

⇓

Nah, I'd just be putting them in more danger.

#485

⇓

Ah, yes, the self-martyring bullshit of the special ops soldier.

#486

⇓

I'll get you all on a flight to Nicaragua. No one sees you again.

#487

⇓

When this is done, I'll take you up on that.

#488

⇓

But that's the point, Marvin. It's never done. You just let go.

#489

⇓

No justice for your father, no revenge against Vought.

#490

⇓

You get nothing, except your family.

#491

⇓

Go, and never come back.

#492

⇓

I wish I had.

#493

⇓

An angry scene today outside of Congresswoman Victoria Neuman's residence

#494

⇓

as pro- and anti-Vought protesters clashed just two days before

#495

⇓

the House Judiciary Committee's scheduled...

#496

⇓

Another. And a pint of bitter.

#497

⇓

M.M.

#498

⇓

Yeah, good.

#499

⇓

How'd it go with Vogelbaum?

#500

⇓

I'll take care of it.

#501

⇓

Send her back. Send her back. Send her back...

#502

⇓

Life has always been hard,

#503

⇓

but I don't remember it being quite this crude.

#504

⇓

I get it.

#505

⇓

What she's doing with her daughter.

#506

⇓

My papa, when he lost his mind,

#507

⇓

my mama, she kept me cooking with her.

#508

⇓

Cassoulet, confit de canard, all the mother sauces.

#509

⇓

Cooking, it has this way of giving port in a storm.

#510

⇓

Did your...?

#511

⇓

Your mama, she cook?

#512

⇓

You know,

#513

⇓

Irvin Yalom once said, you die twice.

#514

⇓

Once when you stop breathing,

#515

⇓

and again when somebody utters your name for the last time.

#516

⇓

I'd like to hear about your family,

#517

⇓

keep them alive a bit longer.

#518

⇓

If you'd ever like to teach me.

#519

⇓

Point is taken. Never mind.

#520

⇓

Gun?

#521

⇓

I'm saying "gun"?

Look, I brought you something.

#530

⇓

Just to make up for all the shit I used to do to you.

#531

⇓

- He knows my name. - Yeah, okay.

#532

⇓

Hey, meet my new bride, Cassandra. A-Train.

#533

⇓

- Hi, it's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

#534

⇓

- Thanks, man. It means a lot. - Yeah, of course.

A lot.

So great news.

#543

⇓

I've got a meeting with Stan Edgar next week.

#544

⇓

- Seriously? - With Congress up their ass?

#545

⇓

And all the shit with Starlight?

#546

⇓

Vought needs trusted, proven commodities right now.

#547

⇓

- They need you two. - Yeah.

#548

⇓

Still got a few deal points to talk through,

#549

⇓

but let's just say, they should be getting your rooms ready.

#550

⇓

- For real? - Honey, this is amazing.

#551

⇓

Thank you so much.

#552

⇓

- You're welcome. - Awesome.

#553

⇓

By the way, what do you guys think of Eagle the Archer?

#554

⇓

He's like a brother to me.

#555

⇓

He was there for me when I was at rock bottom.

#556

⇓

The most kind, loving person...

#557

⇓

He's a toxic personality,

#558

⇓

and no church members are to have any contact with him whatsoever.

#559

⇓

Right, yeah, no, now that you mention it, he did seem pretty toxic, yeah.

#560

⇓

What did he do?

#561

⇓

Well, he claims the programme had failed him.

#562

⇓

But, actually, he failed the programme.

#563

⇓

- He doesn't exist, understand? - Of course.

#564

⇓

Ah.

#565

⇓

Oh, come on.

#566

⇓

I think they're gonna do the limbo.

#567

⇓

- Come on. - Oh, yeah?

Me and Mr Marathon used to sneak college girls in this way.

#571

⇓

College girls? Really?

#572

⇓

They were applying. Yeah.

#573

⇓

That does not make it better.

#574

⇓

All right, moment of truth.

#575

⇓

I'm either still in the system, or we'll be swarmed by guards with AKs.

#576

⇓

Wait, what?

#577

⇓

And boom, bitches.

#578

⇓

All right, let's go.

#579

⇓

Maeve?

#580

⇓

Hello?

#581

⇓

What the fuck is this?

#582

⇓

This is not lesbian. This is not on-brand.

#583

⇓

We need you ready for Congress, with Elena sitting proudly behind you.

#584

⇓

She's gone.

#585

⇓

- What do you mean, she's gone? - Elena's gone.

#586

⇓

Okay, okay.

#587

⇓

Elena will be back.

#588

⇓

She will be back in your arms, and you will be totally fine.

#589

⇓

You're America's second-favourite lesbian couple after all.

#590

⇓

You know what? Let's just take a deep breath, okay?

#591

⇓

Let's just take a deep breath here, okay?

#592

⇓

We curated a coming-out story that America loves.

#593

⇓

- It would be really good... - Ashley.

#594

⇓

For once in your life, be a fucking human being.

#595

⇓

I'm really sorry, Maeve.

#596

⇓

Michael, that's holding.

#597

⇓

We're in the middle of practise, Leigh Anne.

#598

⇓

Ooh! You can thank me later, Burt.

#599

⇓

This team is your family.

#600

⇓

Tony here is your quarterback.

#601

⇓

You protect his blind side, okay?

#602

⇓

When you look at him, you think of me.

#603

⇓

How you have my back. How you have his.

#604

⇓

Okay?

#605

⇓

Yes, ma'am.

#606

⇓

Wow.

#607

⇓

That... That's really something, Ryan.

#608

⇓

I've done The Blind Side, Dances With Wolves,

#609

⇓

Terms of Endearment.

#610

⇓

All my mom's favourites.

#611

⇓

So are you into any things that, you know, kids are into?

#612

⇓

- Yeah. - Like NBA 2K.

#613

⇓

PewDiePie?

#614

⇓

What's that?

#615

⇓

Or what about one of your dad's movies?

#616

⇓

You're in movies?

#617

⇓

I'm in a bunch of movies, man. Let's see.

#618

⇓

There's Homelander: Origins. Homelander: Rise of a Hero.

#619

⇓

Homelander: Darkest Day. Homelander: Brightest Night.

#620

⇓

Oh, your dad is so good

#621

⇓

- in Homelander: Brightest Night. - Thank you.

#622

⇓

- Mom, can I see them? - When you're old enough, we can talk.

#623

⇓

Ah, they're PG. He can see them now. You're old enough.

#624

⇓

You're absolutely old enough.

#625

⇓

For sleepovers, and baseball games,

#626

⇓

and visits to Vought Land.

#627

⇓

Yeah.

#628

⇓

Did you know that your dad has his own roller coaster?

#629

⇓

- Mm-hm. - Wanna ride your dad's roller coaster?

#630

⇓

- Can I, Mom? - We can talk about it.

#631

⇓

Whenever you want.

#632

⇓

I need to speak with you.

#633

⇓

- We're having a good time here, right? - Outside.

#634

⇓

Now.

#635

⇓

That's a great idea. You two, stay here.

#636

⇓

- Get to know each other better. - Okay.

#637

⇓

I'll show you Dances With Wolves.

#638

⇓

- I know what you're doing. - Nope, you don't.

#639

⇓

- Yes, I do. I can see... - No, you do not.

#640

⇓

You could not possibly understand.

#641

⇓

I was raised the same way as him.

#642

⇓

That kid doesn't know anything about anything.

#643

⇓

When he sees the outside world, he's going to panic.

#644

⇓

That's gonna fuck him up.

#645

⇓

I do not want my son to have to go through what I went through.

#646

⇓

His life is different.

#647

⇓

He has a mother.

#648

⇓

I know that that means something to you.

#649

⇓

If you take him away from me,

#650

⇓

this world will feel so confusing and frightening.

#651

⇓

Yes, but, Rebecca,

#652

⇓

you are lying to him.

#653

⇓

Because I love him.

#654

⇓

I know a part of you loves him too, and you want what's best for him.

#655

⇓

But what's best for him is to be here with me, with his mother.

#656

⇓

Look, we have this opportunity to give him a childhood you never had.

#657

⇓

We can do that if he's here with me.

#658

⇓

Please. I'm begging you, please.

#659

⇓

Yeah.

#660

⇓

I'm sorry, he's very tired.

#661

⇓

I understand he's had a few surprise visitors today.

#662

⇓

But you tell him he's got one more.

#663

⇓

The name's William Butcher.

#664

⇓

Mr Butcher, I can't apologise enough for what I've done.

#665

⇓

But I can't give you the information...

#666

⇓

But I can't give you the information you or Grace came for either.

#667

⇓

What was he like?

#668

⇓

Who?

#669

⇓

Homelander. Growing up as a lad. What was he like?

#670

⇓

I'm sure you don't want to talk about this...

#671

⇓

There is nothing I wanna talk about more.

#672

⇓

And who knows better than you?

#673

⇓

When he was a little boy, 5 or 6, he was quite sweet.

#674

⇓

He'd cuddle up to me.

#675

⇓

He loved stories about Davy Crockett, Teddy Roosevelt.

#676

⇓

Loved the idea of the woods, the forest, manifest destiny.

#677

⇓

But I needed him to be the strongest man in the world.

#678

⇓

So I went to work on him.

#679

⇓

He didn't even want it.

#680

⇓

It was for me.

#681

⇓

Mm-hm.

#682

⇓

And that wasn't your only sin...

#683

⇓

was it?

#684

⇓

It wasn't Homelander who hid my wife away all them years.

#685

⇓

It ever occur to you...

#686

⇓

the pain you cause sorry bastards like me?

#687

⇓

At the time, it was barely a blip on my radar.

#688

⇓

Tell me, doctor.

#689

⇓

What's your radar telling you now?

#690

⇓

Do what you want to me, but I can't help you.

#691

⇓

My family would be in...

#692

⇓

Your family's already in trouble.

#693

⇓

Because I'm about to go into that room next door, to your daughter,

#694

⇓

and I'm gonna bash her brains out.

#695

⇓

And then I'm gonna find your two sons,

#696

⇓

and their wives, and their little kiddies.

#697

⇓

Your whole fucking family dies today.

#698

⇓

Or...

#699

⇓

you help me.

#700

⇓

What's it gonna be, doc?

#701

⇓

How...?

#702

⇓

How can you be so...?

#703

⇓

Oh, look at this.

#704

⇓

Thank you.

#705

⇓

Do you know,

#706

⇓

I can't remember the last time I had a good cup of chai?

#707

⇓

You're a doll.

#708

⇓

Starting to bleed through.

#709

⇓

Ah, shit.

#710

⇓

This is it, 42D.

#711

⇓

She's gonna be there?

#712

⇓

Wait, wait, wait.

#713

⇓

This is the conference room. She's not here.

#714

⇓

They moved my statue?

#715

⇓

What?

#716

⇓

- I wanted to do it in front of my statue. - Do what?

#717

⇓

I just wanted to make my dad proud.

#718

⇓

Oh, no, no. What the fuck?

#719

⇓

What the fuck?

#720

⇓

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

#721

⇓

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

#722

⇓

Please, evacuate to the main floor immediately.

#723

⇓

Please, evacuate to the main floor immediately.

#724

⇓

Mom?

#725

⇓

Fuck you, man.

#726

⇓

Please, evacuate to the main floor immediately.

#727

⇓

Shit, I need his hand.

#728

⇓

Please, evacuate to the main floor immediately.

#729

⇓

Please, evacuate to the main floor immediately...

#730

⇓

Come on, come on, come on.

#731

⇓

Was that an Almond Joy?

#732

⇓

He has a tree nut allergy.

#733

⇓

Come with me.

#734

⇓

...to the main floor immediately.

#735

⇓

Help! Is anybody there?

#736

⇓

Help!

#737

⇓

Where's Annie?

#738

⇓

Aren't you that sweaty young man from Believe?

#739

⇓

Hi, Mrs January.

#740

⇓

Is that a human hand?

#741

⇓

Yes, it is. Come on. We gotta go.

#742

⇓

Hughie?

#743

⇓

Annie, Annie, Annie.

#744

⇓

- Oh, Mom. Thank God. - Annie.

#745

⇓

Hey.

#746

⇓

What are you doing here?

#747

⇓

How are we gonna get out of here?

#748

⇓

I know a way.

#749

⇓

All right, dinner's ready.

#750

⇓

Assholes.

#751

⇓

Hey, bud. You ready for dinner?

#752

⇓

What's wrong?

#753

⇓

You're a liar.

#754

⇓

- You lied to me. - What do you mean?

#755

⇓

They flew me up and showed me. This house is fake.

#756

⇓

The neighbours are fake. You're fake.

#757

⇓

Boy deserves to know the truth.

#758

⇓

Hey, listen to me. We can talk about this, okay?

#759

⇓

You must feel confused. There are reasons...

#760

⇓

No, just don't touch me. I hate you.

#761

⇓

I think he just needs a little space.

#762

⇓

Come here, son.

#763

⇓

No. No.

#764

⇓

All right, he needs his mother.

#765

⇓

Don't worry, he'll still have a mother.

#766

⇓

Hey, Ryan. Ryan!

#767

⇓

Hey, Ryan, no.

#768

⇓

Ryan, no!

#769

⇓

Oh, my God, no, please.

#770

⇓

Kid, you are fucking unbelievable.

#771

⇓

All you had to do was watch porn.

#772

⇓

I didn't know he'd set himself on fire.

#773

⇓

- Hey. - What are we gonna do now?

#774

⇓

Butcher? It's me.

#775

⇓

No, I'm afraid Hugh let our star witness burn himself to death.

#776

⇓

Thank you.

#777

⇓

Well, I don't know.

#778

⇓

- What do you mean, no worries? - I mean, I got it sorted.

#779

⇓

You gonna stitch me up again?

#780

⇓

He's at the airport.

#781

⇓

I promise.

You got a right bloody nerve, you do.

#783

⇓

I didn't mean for it to go so bad.

#784

⇓

I'm sorry.

#785

⇓

You won't have to see him again.

#786

⇓

He ain't got much longer. Couple of months.

#787

⇓

Tell me when it happens.

#788

⇓

I'll piss on his coffin.

#789

⇓

I didn't do it for him.

#790

⇓

He's a cunt.

#791

⇓

I just thought, when you saw how helpless he is now,

#792

⇓

you'd let it go.

#793

⇓

He wouldn't have this hold over you, and you wouldn't become like...

#794

⇓

Yeah, well...

#795

⇓

Billy.

#796

⇓

I told him, I wasn't gonna cut my mom out of my life.

#797

⇓

That's it.

#798

⇓

And then the Church and their "Internal Research Bureau"

#799

⇓

leaked all this **** on me.

#800

⇓

Eagle contends the Church released a home video,

#801

⇓

where his partner was dressed as a deer

#802

⇓

that Eagle hunted and mounted.

#803

⇓

What?

#804

⇓

Church Spokeswoman Carol Mannheim had this to say:

#805

⇓

He's been spreading slanderous and defamatory rumours about our religion

#806

⇓

in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

#807

⇓

Yeah, fuck him.

#808

⇓

Thought he was your friend.

#809

⇓

Can we change the channel? The hearing's almost on.

#810

⇓

Thanks.

#811

⇓

...internal investigations, but we also hired...

#812

⇓

Would everyone please take their seat?

#813

⇓

- Starlight? - Nothing. She's off the grid.

#814

⇓

- Well, fucking find her. - Okay.

#815

⇓

This bipartisan committee is called to order.

#816

⇓

Investigating Vought International,

#817

⇓

and its production and distribution of Compound V.

#818

⇓

- I hereby present to the committee... - Okay, this is it.

#819

⇓

Mr Chairman, if I may?

#820

⇓

The testimony we'll hear today will prove that Vought is guilty

#821

⇓

of corporate malfeasance and multiple felonies.

#822

⇓

And it'll come from someone that has witnessed these crimes directly.

#823

⇓

The chair calls former CSO of Vought,

#824

⇓

Dr Jonah Vogelbaum.

#825

⇓

Okay, okay, quiet, everybody.

#826

⇓

Quiet.

#827

⇓

Gotcha, cunt.

#828

⇓

Dr Vogelbaum, thank you forjoining us today.

#829

⇓

Raise your right hand.

#830

⇓

You swear that your testimony today will be the truth,

#831

⇓

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

#832

⇓

- I do. - Thank you. You have five minutes...

#833

⇓

- Oh, God. - Oh!

#834

⇓

Do something. What the fuck?

#835

⇓

Oh, shit.

#836

⇓

What the fuck do we do now?
