The Boys

Season 3, Episode 2 — The Only Man In The Sky

This Thursday on vtv: Television for women...

#1

⇓

I guess I'm just searching for a more purposeful life, Mr. Adana.

#2

⇓

The church of the collective can offer you so much more.

#3

⇓

We can offer you a family.

#4

⇓

Mr. Adana, tell me the truth.

#5

⇓

Are you having me followed?

#6

⇓

I had to find out if you were putting the church first,

#7

⇓

before your career.

#8

⇓

Before everything.

#9

⇓

You branded me with your initials! It's enough.

#10

⇓

I am afraid that you have become a toxic personality, deep.

#11

⇓

Then you've left me no choice but to run.

#12

⇓

Not without my dolphin.

#13

⇓

Brought to you by lean lady frozen dinners, by vought.

#14

⇓

Tonight, simulcast live across vbs, vtv, vnn,

#15

⇓

vought soul and voughtemundo,

#16

⇓

join me for my annual birthday spectacular,

#17

⇓

along with my cocaptain starlight,

#18

⇓

as well as emeril lagasse, rascal flatts, supersonic,

#19

⇓

the cast of Riverdale, dame judi dench

#20

⇓

and, of course, my dear friend black noir...

#21

⇓

Hey, William.

#22

⇓

Goddamn the pusher man, am I right?

#23

⇓

You really gonna shoot that shit in your veins?

#24

⇓

You know, I think I just might.

#25

⇓

Odds are you'll die screaming.

#26

⇓

Well, I've gambled more for less.

#27

⇓

I don't think you're gonna do it.

#28

⇓

Turn yourself into a supe?

#29

⇓

That's a new low, even for you.

#30

⇓

Oh, I can go lower.

#31

⇓

I can go straight to hell.

#32

⇓

Butcher, you have to stop.

#33

⇓

Please. For Becca. This would break her heart.

#34

⇓

Becca don't care what I do.

#35

⇓

She's dead.

#36

⇓

Hello, love. A bit early, isn't it?

#37

⇓

You said I could call you after 8:00. It's 8:03.

#38

⇓

Ah, yeah. Right you are.

#39

⇓

Are you okay?

#40

⇓

Yeah. Hunky-dory. Why?

#41

⇓

You look tired.

#42

⇓

Ah, just, uh, had a naff night, that's all.

#43

⇓

No sleep.

#44

⇓

Did you watch the video I made?

#45

⇓

Uh, no, no.

#46

⇓

I, uh... I ain't had a chance yet.

#47

⇓

I think you should watch it.

#48

⇓

It kind of helps me when I don't sleep so good.

#49

⇓

Yeah, look, I told you, I'll watch it later.

#50

⇓

Are you mad at me?

#51

⇓

No, uh... of course not.

#52

⇓

Look, you're your mother's son.

#53

⇓

And I'll always watch out for you.

#54

⇓

Just how I promised.

#55

⇓

All right?

#56

⇓

Hey there, sleepyhead.

#57

⇓

Rise and shine. Big day.

#58

⇓

Anything a little extra special about today? Hmm?

#59

⇓

It's my birthday, silly.

#60

⇓

Okay, just blink if you want to wish me a happy birthday, hmm?

#61

⇓

Okay.

#62

⇓

Okay, so red river is a group home

#63

⇓

owned by a vought subsidiary, of course.

#64

⇓

I guess that's where Vicky grew up.

#65

⇓

You mean Nadia?

#66

⇓

God, I'm a fucking idiot. I should have seen it.

#67

⇓

- How could you have seen this? - I don't know.

#68

⇓

Maybe when she killed rayner or when she blew up congress.

#69

⇓

Goddamn it.

#70

⇓

Maybe we leak it to the times.

#71

⇓

No, she could head-pop everybody in the office, me included.

#72

⇓

Wait, wait, you're going in?

#73

⇓

- Call in sick. - We... we have an all-hands at 3:00.

#74

⇓

I've never missed one before.

#75

⇓

What if we tell butcher?

#76

⇓

We tell butcher I've been a supe's sidekick for a year?

#77

⇓

Oh, Christ, he's never gonna not torture me for this, is he?

#78

⇓

Well, maybe he won't.

#79

⇓

No. No, no, no. Look, we can... handle this ourselves.

#80

⇓

All right?

#81

⇓

Just don't do anything.

#82

⇓

- What, crazy, stupid? - No.

#83

⇓

Don't do anything until I get back.

#84

⇓

- Okay? - You're leaving?

#85

⇓

Yeah, it's the sound check

#86

⇓

for homelander's stupid birthday special.

#87

⇓

Wait for me.

#88

⇓

Yeah. Okay. Sure.

#89

⇓

J" baby, baby, baby got your license to drive j”

#90

⇓

-j' you got your license j" -j' got your license to drive me... j"

#91

⇓

And pop, pop.

#92

⇓

Head slide.

#93

⇓

- I'll slide tonight. Thank you. - Uh-huh.

#94

⇓

Whew! Still got it.

#95

⇓

Looks like you're back on the "sweet as I wanna be" tour.

#96

⇓

Oh, wow. No, this is humiliating.

#97

⇓

That song was gross when I was 18.

#98

⇓

I sing it now, they're gonna make me keep a thousand feet from schools.

#99

⇓

Then don't sing it.

#100

⇓

That's easy for you to say. You're already in the seven.

#101

⇓

I-I don't want to make waves.

#102

⇓

Trust me... make waves.

#103

⇓

Hey, Jay, um, could we run my segment now, actually?

#104

⇓

- 'Cause I only have a few lines. - Of course. Yeah.

#105

⇓

Where's the fire, starlight?

#106

⇓

What, are you on a break?

#107

⇓

Sir, happy birthday. I'm...

#108

⇓

- Supersonic, right? - Yeah, that's right.

#109

⇓

- Great to meet you. - You, too.

#110

⇓

Yeah. You're a real, uh, contender on American hero.

#111

⇓

Keep it up. We could be teammates.

#112

⇓

Oh, wow, I hope so, sir.

#113

⇓

Of course, it doesn't hurt that the show's judge

#114

⇓

used to get come-drunk on your chorizo picante.

#115

⇓

Homelander, sir, we're loading the prompter

#116

⇓

- with starlight's revisions. - Sure.

#117

⇓

- Revisions? - Yeah.

#118

⇓

I had Bruce make a couple of tweaks,

#119

⇓

- gave you some more juicy stuff. - No.

#120

⇓

After all, you are cocaptain.

#121

⇓

Need you front and center.

#122

⇓

- Roger, cue these up. - Yes, sir.

#123

⇓

Thank you.

#124

⇓

You know, I got to admit, I was a little unsure about this.

#125

⇓

But now, honestly, I am just so excited about what's coming.

#126

⇓

- Partner. - Ready for rehearsal.

#127

⇓

All right, mate?

#128

⇓

Bloody hell, Janine. You shot up.

#129

⇓

You remember your uncle Billy, don't you?

#130

⇓

Here. I got this for you.

#131

⇓

You and your dad can build it together.

#132

⇓

523 pieces of family fun.

#133

⇓

Okay, one, you don't just pop up here. You call first.

#134

⇓

And, two, eff soldier boy.

#135

⇓

I don't give a mother effin' doo-doo how he checked out.

#136

⇓

Ah, bollocks.

#137

⇓

He didn't die like no hero.

#138

⇓

I'll wager he went out on his knees, begging like a right cunt.

#139

⇓

What the f...

#140

⇓

Sorry, love.

#141

⇓

Look, if there's a weapon out there that killed soldier boy,

#142

⇓

then it can kill homelander.

#143

⇓

And that's got to be worth something.

#144

⇓

Now, we're working our way through his old team.

#145

⇓

Frenchie and kimiko are starting with the crimson countess,

#146

⇓

and I'm gonna hit up gunpowder.

#147

⇓

Sounds like you got everything covered.

#148

⇓

This ain't just anyone.

#149

⇓

It's soldier boy.

#150

⇓

You could close the book on him once and for all.

#151

⇓

For your dad. Your family.

#152

⇓

Fuck off with that shit.

#153

⇓

My father died hunched over a desk, obsessing over a dead man,

#154

⇓

while he was ignoring his two living children.

#155

⇓

And I almost did the same thing to her.

#156

⇓

Thanks for coming by.

#157

⇓

You're doing a bang-up job with her, mate.

#158

⇓

Butcher, hold on a second.

#159

⇓

I might have one thing.

"Soldier boy: A musical journey" is about to begin.

#188

⇓

Get your tickets now.

#189

⇓

Soldier boy grew up in the birthplace of American Liberty.

#190

⇓

Born poor on the mean streets of south Philadelphia,

#191

⇓

he learned the values of hard work, tenacity and bravery.

#192

⇓

He used those values to prove america's exceptionalism to the world.

#193

⇓

Okay, boys, let's give these krauts some hell.

#194

⇓

He defended us against the encroaching red menace.

#195

⇓

Congress, I have a list right here of avowed communists.

#196

⇓

He helped guide america into a brighter future,

#197

⇓

and along the way, he found the love of a good woman,

#198

⇓

which made his sacrifice all the more noble,

#199

⇓

when he gave his life saving us from a nuclear holocaust.

#200

⇓

Please join us in saluting soldier boy.

⇓

Oh, sweetie.

But that doesn't mean they're not crying on the inside.

You stay quiet and relax.

We want to know about soldier boy.

#237

⇓

What the fuck do you care about soldier boy?

#238

⇓

We want the truth about soldier boy,

#239

⇓

#258

⇓

Hughie, my man.

#259

⇓

You okay?

#260

⇓

A-Alex? Uh... uh, where's Annie?

#261

⇓

She's actually onstage with homelander.

#262

⇓

It's a crazy fucking day, man.

#263

⇓

Yeah, yeah. Uh, so glad that you're... you're there with her.

#264

⇓

Um, hey, why'd you, uh... Why'd you pick up the phone?

#265

⇓

Well, you called three times in the last three minutes.

#266

⇓

- Is anything wrong? - No, no, everything's good.

#267

⇓

Everything's fine. Just tell her that I called, okay?

#268

⇓

Uh...

#269

⇓

It is such an honor to be with you all tonight,

#270

⇓

celebrating my... my dear friend and mentor homelander.

#271

⇓

Now, before we bring out dame judi dench, I would like to take a moment...

#272

⇓

Uh, hey, Jay. What's that?

#273

⇓

I'm supposed to be announcing the starlight house.

#274

⇓

You sing me "happy birthday."

#275

⇓

Fun, right?

#276

⇓

Go on. Go for it.

#277

⇓

J happy birthday to you j

#278

⇓

j happy birthday to you happy birthday... j

#279

⇓

Hold on, hold on, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

#280

⇓

Um, starlight.

#281

⇓

Listen, starlight, i-i...

#282

⇓

Hate to direct you, but, um, we're gonna need a little more

#283

⇓

"jfk just got rimmed out by Marilyn" version.

#284

⇓

It's got to fit with the routine. A-Actually, show her the routine.

#285

⇓

You're gonna fucking love this.

#286

⇓

- That's your backup. - Okay...

#287

⇓

Okay, uh, hold on, everybody.

#288

⇓

Okay, ladies, thank you. Just stand down, okay?

#289

⇓

Real quick.

#290

⇓

Can I talk to Roger?

#291

⇓

- Uh, yeah, sure, abso... - Problem?

#292

⇓

I have... concerns.

#293

⇓

- You do? - Mm-hmm.

#294

⇓

Oh, okay, well, uh, what are they?

#295

⇓

- It's demeaning. - It's demeaning

#296

⇓

to sing your friend "happy birthday"?

#297

⇓

Are you gonna sing all sexy for me on my birthday?

#298

⇓

Starlight, where... wh-what's with all this animosity?

#299

⇓

Hey, um, can we just have one minute, please?

#300

⇓

- Yes. Go. - Thank you.

#301

⇓

Hey, um... okay.

#302

⇓

- For the record... - Mm-hmm.

#303

⇓

I know you don't care whether I sing or not.

#304

⇓

This is a juvenile attempt

#305

⇓

to get me to look like a sex doll instead of a cocaptain.

#306

⇓

I'm not doing it.

#307

⇓

I have an idea.

#308

⇓

Why don't you lighten the fuck up?

#309

⇓

Come on, you're gonna sing the shit out of this song.

#310

⇓

Ready? Let's hit it.

#311

⇓

If starlight doesn't want to sing, she doesn't sing.

#312

⇓

Stan. What a surprise.

#313

⇓

Our testing shows that 76% of likely viewers

#314

⇓

will make every effort to watch tonight for starlight.

#315

⇓

As for you, 53% might dvr.

#316

⇓

I think that that means that she can call her own shots. Don't you?

#317

⇓

So how about I just walk, Stan? How would that rate?

#318

⇓

After the PR hole you dug for yourself this past year,

#319

⇓

I'd say you're lucky we're putting on this farce at all.

#320

⇓

But hey, it's your party. You can cry if you want to.

#321

⇓

- Damn, Annie. - Hmm.

#322

⇓

What happened to you in New York?

#323

⇓

I started making waves.

#324

⇓

Thank you so much for coming in.

#325

⇓

Have you met my new development exec?

#326

⇓

Hi. I'm also Ashley.

#327

⇓

Uh-huh.

#328

⇓

We are super curious to hear what you have for us today.

#329

⇓

- Mm-hmm. So curious. - I've been thinking a lot

#330

⇓

about all the ways that I can contribute around here.

#331

⇓

Maybe I can't run as fast as I used to,

#332

⇓

but I've neverjust been the world's fastest man.

#333

⇓

There's a lot of layers to the a-train that people haven't seen yet.

#334

⇓

Such as?

#335

⇓

Well, I'm also a-a strong, very proud black man.

#336

⇓

Right, Seth?

#337

⇓

Seth, come on, man.

#338

⇓

Tell them.

#339

⇓

Right. Um...

#340

⇓

The seven have been dipping in the African American demo.

#341

⇓

Our numbers for dawn of the seven have been soft.

#342

⇓

People of color don't tend to react well to Nazis.

#343

⇓

Facts.

#344

⇓

We thought a rebranding of a-train maybe could change that.

#345

⇓

If done tastefully.

#346

⇓

- A rebranding. - So, listen,

#347

⇓

we start with a docuseries on vought soul.

#348

⇓

A-train to Africa.

#349

⇓

Boom.

#350

⇓

The art's, uh, just a mock-up.

#351

⇓

It'll trace his family's journey

#352

⇓

from the plains of Africa all the way to vought tower.

#353

⇓

Yeah, like, I want to get back in touch with my roots.

#354

⇓

Like in roots.

#355

⇓

And for the gen 23,

#356

⇓

a state-of-the-art interactive learning experience.

#357

⇓

Is that a video game about the slave trade?

#358

⇓

It's some powerful stuff.

#359

⇓

It's really something.

#360

⇓

I even had lj redesign the suit.

#361

⇓

You know, for the culture.

#362

⇓

- I want to introduce it tonight. - Oh, yeah, no.

#363

⇓

Let's have a beat on that and think about that.

#364

⇓

- Okay. Wow. - Okay.

#365

⇓

Thank you so much for that pitch.

#366

⇓

That was so well told.

#367

⇓

Mm-hmm. So well told.

#368

⇓

All right. Yeah.

#369

⇓

We're gonna discuss with the team and-and get back to you.

#370

⇓

Cool. Yeah. Thanks.

#371

⇓

See you tonight.

#372

⇓

I'm kind of surprised that they didn't buy it in the room.

#373

⇓

She hated it.

#374

⇓

What? No.

#375

⇓

Man, she said it was "well told."

#376

⇓

Yeah, that's code for she fucking hated it.

#377

⇓

Look, man, she didn't buy it because it's total bullshit.

#378

⇓

You couldn't care less about your African roots.

#379

⇓

You know it, and she knows it, and frankly, Africa knows it.

#380

⇓

Yeah?

#381

⇓

You don't have a fucking dick.

#382

⇓

So, uh, where at vought do you work?

#383

⇓

Um, uh, the tower, social media, up on 47th.

#384

⇓

Um, I'm sorry, you said you don't get many potential parents?

#385

⇓

Well, you know what kind of a home we are, right?

#386

⇓

Yeah, no, of course, it's a group home...

#387

⇓

For the s-super-abled.

#388

⇓

Mason, please get down from there.

#389

⇓

Yeah, uh, so many tragic stories,

#390

⇓

but, uh, with the right attention,

#391

⇓

uh, they can bounce back so quickly.

#392

⇓

Yeah, they're little treasures.

#393

⇓

Geez.

#394

⇓

Teddy stillwell, we don't teleport.

#395

⇓

- Can I play with my toys? - Yeah.

#396

⇓

So, their... their parents, they're, uh...

#397

⇓

Well, uh, some of the kids, they discovered their gifts quite early,

#398

⇓

before they were able to control them.

#399

⇓

But listen, i-I'm sure you'd be perfectly safe.

#400

⇓

Hey, can you... can you, uh... Can you show me the rest of the place?

#401

⇓

- Uh, what did you want to see? - Anything. Whatever you got.

#402

⇓

Oh.

#403

⇓

Sorry, what, uh... what is it, Teddy?

#404

⇓

Hey, wait a minute. I know you.

#405

⇓

You're starlight's boyfriend?

#406

⇓

- Uh... - And you work at the bureau.

#407

⇓

- Uh... no, no, I can... - This is highly irregular.

#408

⇓

Hey, hey, I-I-I can explain.

#409

⇓

Um, okay, the-the truth is...

#410

⇓

Starlight is-is the one that sent me here.

#411

⇓

I'm completely sterile. Doctor says my sperm are bad.

#412

⇓

Like, really, really bad,

#413

⇓

like a bunch of fat, dead tadpoles.

#414

⇓

But we-we want a kid, and, um, she wanted to keep it quiet,

#415

⇓

so she sent me here to cover for her. H was never here, by the way.

#416

⇓

We just want to keep it about love and not publicity.

#417

⇓

You know?

#418

⇓

This is fantastic. With a superhuman mother,

#419

⇓

there is far less chance of parental fatality.

#420

⇓

Oh, yeah. That's great. That's great news.

#421

⇓

So I have a few standouts I think you'll be pretty thrilled with.

#422

⇓

You mind if I, uh, just kind of flip around a bit?

#423

⇓

Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Move this over.

#424

⇓

Sorry.

#425

⇓

Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

#426

⇓

Um, boy, girl?

#427

⇓

No, you know, we don't really see gender that way.

#428

⇓

- Well, Samir is south Asian. - Mm-hmm.

#429

⇓

That is very hot right now.

#430

⇓

No, that sounds great.

#431

⇓

- Wh... uh, Samir... right here? Okay. - South Asian.

#432

⇓

Nadia, do you know why you're here today?

#433

⇓

Did I do something wrong?

#434

⇓

Not at all. You've made so much progress.

#435

⇓

That's why you're here.

#436

⇓

You're getting what you've always wanted.

#437

⇓

You're-you're adopting me?

#438

⇓

No, I can't adopt you, sport, not technically.

#439

⇓

It's more complicated than you need to worry about.

#440

⇓

But you are a very rare and exceptional girl,

#441

⇓

and you're coming with me.

#442

⇓

I'm gonna take care of you now.

#443

⇓

Is that all right?

#444

⇓

"It has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

#445

⇓

My mom says some days are like that.

#446

⇓

Even in Australia."

#447

⇓

You want me to read it again?

#448

⇓

- Actually too old for that. - Oh, you smart-ass.

#449

⇓

Scoot. Let me talk to your mom.

#450

⇓

Bad days do happen.

#451

⇓

Maybe I need to read this to you.

#452

⇓

You have. About a million times before bed.

#453

⇓

- Anything in the news? - Still nothing.

#454

⇓

Good.

#455

⇓

Tony was a friend of yours.

#456

⇓

I understand why you'd be upset.

#457

⇓

Somebody at vought dropped the ball.

#458

⇓

I can't have people showing up at my work calling me Nadia.

#459

⇓

A cleaning crew sterilized the site within 15 minutes of the incident.

#460

⇓

No witnesses have come fonnard.

#461

⇓

And if they do, we'll deal with them.

#462

⇓

The same way you dealt with Tony.

#463

⇓

Come on, sport. Haven't I always taken care of you?

#464

⇓

Welcome. Next.

#465

⇓

Ah, ah.

#466

⇓

Oh. Sorry, mate.

#467

⇓

Here you go.

#468

⇓

Nice piece. Welcome.

#469

⇓

Next.

#470

⇓

Come through.

#471

⇓

J this country rocks, this country rolls j

#472

⇓

j no matter if you're young or if you're old j

#473

⇓

j you can stand up for the red white and blue j

#474

⇓

j and cheer for the freedoms that it gave to you... j

#475

⇓

And I I! Tell you something,

#476

⇓

if "Dakota" Bob singer gets elected president,

#477

⇓

well, you say hello to left-wing socialism.

#478

⇓

'Cause I'll tell you this right now,

#479

⇓

he is gonna follow the George soros globalist playbook to a t.

#480

⇓

Step one, oppress the citizens and confiscate their firearms.

#481

⇓

Step two, have it all gleefully reported by the so-called news media.

#482

⇓

- Fake news! - And step three,

#483

⇓

in every classroom around the country,

#484

⇓

they're gonna teach your kids to hate america,

#485

⇓

the constitution and the second amendment.

#486

⇓

Good for us, the silent majority,

#487

⇓

and the vought rifle association,

#488

⇓

let me tell you something, we are armed and we're ready to fight back.

#489

⇓

Thank you for coming, ladies and gentlemen.

#490

⇓

Don't forget, two-for-one on hollow-points on the way out.

#491

⇓

Use the promo code "gunpowder."

#492

⇓

God bless y'all.

#493

⇓

Excuse me, Mr. Powder. I'm your number one fan.

#494

⇓

I've bought all your rifles. Every one of them.

#495

⇓

That vought vr-15. Ooh.

#496

⇓

That is a hell of a gun.

#497

⇓

Smooth trigger pull.

#498

⇓

Smooth.

#499

⇓

I'd shake your hand, but, uh, well, you know.

#500

⇓

Well, I appreciate that.

#501

⇓

Yeah, I followed you since your payback days.

#502

⇓

I mean, 14 years old,

#503

⇓

picked to be soldier boy's sidekick.

#504

⇓

He was a great man.

#505

⇓

Well, it's nice meeting you, buddy.

#506

⇓

You must've been chuffed, eh?

#507

⇓

Helping him on his missions,

#508

⇓

letting him watch you on the bog,

#509

⇓

stick his finger up your burn a bit,

#510

⇓

give him a sloppy little nosh.

#511

⇓

All in a day's work for a young ward, innit?

#512

⇓

Like I haven't heard that sidekick pedo shit a thousand times before.

#513

⇓

Why don't you do me a big favor, buddy, and fuck off.

#514

⇓

You're right. I'm sorry.

#515

⇓

That's a filthy, unsubstantiated rumor.

#516

⇓

Goddamn right it is.

#517

⇓

Till now.

#518

⇓

This is a complaint you filed to vought,

#519

⇓

begging to be taken off payback

#520

⇓

on account of, and I quote, "soldier boy's habitual abuse."

#521

⇓

Of course they buried it, vought being the cunts they are.

#522

⇓

That right there is a fake.

#523

⇓

- Course it is. - I'm sorry, who are you?

#524

⇓

I told you. Biggest fan.

#525

⇓

And I want to help you.

#526

⇓

Keep shtum.

#527

⇓

Be a crying shame if your red-meat faithful out there

#528

⇓

found out you were soldier boy's underage nob-gobbler.

#529

⇓

Now, all I want to know

#530

⇓

is what happened to him, and you're gonna tell me.

#531

⇓

Or maybe I put a bullet in your head.

#532

⇓

You do that,

#533

⇓

and it'll be all over the intenneb within an hour.

#534

⇓

See, buddy, I don't give a shit.

#535

⇓

'Cause that never happened.

#536

⇓

Soldier boy never touched me like that.

#537

⇓

{gunshofl -

#538

⇓

Oh, fuck.

#539

⇓

Oh, my god! Don'tjump!

#540

⇓

Hi, Chelsea.

#541

⇓

It's your lucky day.

#542

⇓

Well, considering.

#543

⇓

You're-you're my annual birthday save.

#544

⇓

- Don't come any closer. - Life is a precious gift.

#545

⇓

To throw yours away would be a real slap in the lord's face,

#546

⇓

don't you think?

#547

⇓

You don't want to go to hell for all eternity, do you?

#548

⇓

I'm Jewish. I...

#549

⇓

All right, well, regardless, just step back from the ledge, please?

#550

⇓

Okay, that's good. Just don't be afraid of the zoom.

#551

⇓

You're not Roger deakins.

#552

⇓

Mike, frame up. He could be flying down any second.

#553

⇓

Yep. You got it.

#554

⇓

Oh, fuck.

#555

⇓

Come on, look. I'm here now.

#556

⇓

If you jump, I'm just gonna fly down and save you anyway.

#557

⇓

It's all futile and...

#558

⇓

Sh-she wouldn't...

#559

⇓

It's my... it's my birthday.

#560

⇓

She...

#561

⇓

She...

#562

⇓

You probably don't know this because, you know, Jew,

#563

⇓

but Jesus wasn't born on the 25th of December.

#564

⇓

That was piggybacked off a pagan festival, and guess what.

#565

⇓

Today is not my birthday, either.

#566

⇓

Nope.

#567

⇓

Don't know when it is, but sure as hell ain't today.

#568

⇓

This was just chosen for me by a marketing department.

#569

⇓

I mean, I can't even have a birthday at all.

#570

⇓

I wasn't born.

#571

⇓

I was just poured out of a fucking test tube.

#572

⇓

Immaculate conception.

#573

⇓

I know exactly how he must have felt.

#574

⇓

Jesus.

#575

⇓

You give and you give...

#576

⇓

You give your whole fucking life,

#577

⇓

and what happens? People just tear you down.

#578

⇓

Why do people destroy their gods?

#579

⇓

H-How is it fair that you get saved,

#580

⇓

while a beautiful, perfect god gets killed?

#581

⇓

You know what, Chelsea?

#582

⇓

I think you should jump.

#583

⇓

I-I don't think I want to.

#584

⇓

You don't want to?

#585

⇓

Why don't you show a little follow-through, Chelsea?

#586

⇓

- Jump. - Please, I... I just want to get down.

#587

⇓

I'm not suggesting anymore.

#588

⇓

Jump.

#589

⇓

No. No, please.

#590

⇓

Oh, god, oh, god.

#591

⇓

No, no, no.

#592

⇓

No god.

#593

⇓

The only man in the sky is me.

#594

⇓

How the fuck did she bite off her own tongue?

#595

⇓

Stormfront million dollar babied herself.

#596

⇓

- That's horrible. - Oh, so...

#597

⇓

Daddy? It smells smoky.

#598

⇓

It's okay, baby, I got it.

#599

⇓

Fucking piece of shit.

#600

⇓

Shut the fuck up!

#601

⇓

I'm sorry.

#602

⇓

Baby, I'm sorry.

#603

⇓

I'm sorry.

#604

⇓

- Hey. - Hey.

#605

⇓

- Hughie. - Hi.

#606

⇓

- Hey, where you been? - Uh...

#607

⇓

You know, just, um, working from home.

#608

⇓

Oh, my god, your hand.

#609

⇓

Yeah. Yeah, no, that's... It's nothing. I'm fine.

#610

⇓

- So, who's Nadia? - Nadia?

#611

⇓

Yeah, Scotty said some guy came in yesterday, asking for Nadia.

#612

⇓

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, there was, there was a guy,

#613

⇓

um, and he... He was looking at your picture,

#614

⇓

he said your name was Nadia, said he knew you

#615

⇓

- from, like, way back when. - You weren't gonna tell me?

#616

⇓

Uh, no, I mean, it was just some guy off his meds, seemed like, yeah.

#617

⇓

I'm sorry, I-I mean, you're missing work, your hand.

#618

⇓

- Lot going on. - Hmm.

#619

⇓

Is there something I should know?

#620

⇓

He was with me.

#621

⇓

I'm sorry for stealing him away from you, but...

#622

⇓

We had some things that we needed to discuss.

#623

⇓

Very loudly, actually.

#624

⇓

- We made quite the scene at panera. - Oh.

#625

⇓

I mean, it's a miracle nobody recognized me.

#626

⇓

Yeah, sorry, I was, I was trying to preserve just a tiny,

#627

⇓

little shred of my dignity, but, uh, we had a fight.

#628

⇓

We didn't leave things in the greatest place, so I thought I would come by and...

#629

⇓

- Check up on me? - Well, I was worried about you.

#630

⇓

Yeah, well, you know I can handle some things by myself, right?

#631

⇓

Okay, I'm just trying to help.

#632

⇓

I don't always need your help. You don't have to treat me like I'm a kid.

#633

⇓

Here I was thinking that I was treating you like my boyfriend.

#634

⇓

Well, you...

#635

⇓

This is actually none of my business, so I'm just, I'm gonna go.

#636

⇓

Good-good luck with all of that.

#637

⇓

- Oh, and hughie? - Yeah.

#638

⇓

Cut her some slack.

#639

⇓

You shouldn't be afraid of a powerful woman.

#640

⇓

Oh... my god.

#641

⇓

Uh, thanks for the save, by the way.

#642

⇓

What are you doing here?

#643

⇓

What am I doing here?

#644

⇓

Well, uh, Alex said that you were acting weird,

#645

⇓

and I've been calling you literally every five minutes.

#646

⇓

- So... - Right.

#647

⇓

Shit. Sorry, I left my phone off at red river.

#648

⇓

I thought we were gonna handle that together.

#649

⇓

I know.

#650

⇓

I'm sorry.

#651

⇓

And you're bleeding.

#652

⇓

I know, because I can't open a fucking jar,

#653

⇓

because I can't do anything fucking right.

#654

⇓

Hughie.

#655

⇓

What's going on?

#656

⇓

Vicky was my friend.

#657

⇓

I know her daughter.

#658

⇓

She-she-she surprised me in the office on my birthday.

#659

⇓

We used to roll through that office like we were the fucking untouchables.

#660

⇓

I thought things were finally, finally going my way.

#661

⇓

God, what a goddamn joke I am.

#662

⇓

Hey, that's not true, hughie.

#663

⇓

Oh, um...

#664

⇓

I may have signed us up to adopt a child.

#665

⇓

Hey, look at that.

#666

⇓

- There you go. - Seven tower.

#667

⇓

- Amazing. - Bye, dad.

#668

⇓

I love you, baby.

#669

⇓

- I love you, too. - Mmm.

#670

⇓

All right.

#671

⇓

Is Monique here?

#672

⇓

Uh, Monique, Marvin's here.

#673

⇓

Hey, you gonna stay for homelander's birthday special?

#674

⇓

I got some brats on the grill.

#675

⇓

Think I'll pass, but thanks.

#676

⇓

Oh.

#677

⇓

You know I've been trying, Monique.

#678

⇓

Been trying to stay away from all of it.

#679

⇓

The supes.

#680

⇓

Butcher.

#681

⇓

For Janine.

#682

⇓

- And for you. - I know.

#683

⇓

But this...

#684

⇓

This soldier boy thing came up,

#685

⇓

and you know the baggage there, I...

#686

⇓

I tried upping my meds, just...

#687

⇓

You're having bad thoughts again.

#688

⇓

And the tics and the compulsions.

#689

⇓

Monique, I lost my shit in front of Janine.

#690

⇓

It's like, soldier boy, he's like this...

#691

⇓

This steel sliver inside of my brain, after he...

#692

⇓

I don't know what to do.

#693

⇓

You need to go back to butcher.

#694

⇓

That's what.

#695

⇓

I never wanted to try to turn you into something you're not.

#696

⇓

I-I hate that you're making yourself sick over it.

#697

⇓

Maybe I can't be with you anymore, Marvin,

#698

⇓

and I am so sorry for that.

#699

⇓

But you should go do what you have to do.

#700

⇓

Face this shit down.

#701

⇓

Please don't tell Janine about this.

#702

⇓

About any of it. My pops, none of it.

#703

⇓

I just want to leave her out of it.

#704

⇓

Janine will be right here, waiting.

#705

⇓

Just... stay safe for her.

#706

⇓

Stormfront was right!

#707

⇓

Stormfront was right! Stormfront was right!

#708

⇓

The stormchasers marched in Portland today,

#709

⇓

mourning their fallen idol stormfront...

#710

⇓

When violence broke out between...

#711

⇓

Mon coeur. Look.

#712

⇓

Look at this.

#713

⇓

Six flags in queensbury. We go tomorrow,

#714

⇓

we ride the greezed lightnin' and, uh, steamin' demon

#715

⇓

until we vomit the doughnut hamburgers, huh?

#716

⇓

I know.

#717

⇓

Little girl.

#718

⇓

Mon coeur, no.

#719

⇓

That wasn't your fault.

#720

⇓

Hi, buddy. I'm sorry I'm running late.

#721

⇓

I thought I 'd have time to sneak in a haircut.

#722

⇓

It always takes longer than I think it will.

#723

⇓

There's some double stufs in the pantry, but only two, mister.

#724

⇓

More than two, and I will know.

#725

⇓

Okay. I'm hanging up now.

#726

⇓

Just wanted to tell you that I love you and I'll see you soon.

#727

⇓

So, I love you, and I'll see you soon.

#728

⇓

Butcher?

#729

⇓

You all right, mate?

#730

⇓

Hey, um...

#731

⇓

Frenchie told me about crimson countess.

#732

⇓

What the hell happened?

#733

⇓

We was chasing down something, but...

#734

⇓

I'm gonna knock it on the head.

#735

⇓

Y-You was right the other day.

#736

⇓

Things are good.

#737

⇓

Ryan's good.

#738

⇓

I should leave it well enough alone, before I go and fuck it all up.

#739

⇓

You there?

#740

⇓

Neuman's a supe.

#741

⇓

She's the head popper.

#742

⇓

Yeah, what?

#743

⇓

Yeah, she's pretty much Stan Edgar's daughter, too.

#744

⇓

Past year of my life has been a waste.

#745

⇓

I thought we could fight vought the right way, but we can't. It's all rigged.

#746

⇓

If we 're gonna take them down,

#747

⇓

we have to do whatever it takes.

#748

⇓

We have to do it your way.

#749

⇓

Butcher, you there?

#750

⇓

You got to be fucking kidding me.

#751

⇓

Get your ass off of my car.

#752

⇓

Why you protecting soldier boy?

#753

⇓

If he'd have slipped me a length, I wouldn't hesitate.

#754

⇓

I'd throw him to the fucking dogs.

#755

⇓

Oh, shit.

#756

⇓

Okay, okay.

#757

⇓

Please.

#758

⇓

Soldier boy used to slap me around a little bit, all right?

#759

⇓

It was just hazing that went too far, all right?

#803

⇓

Happy birthday, homelander.

#804

- Hey, thank you. - Yeah.

#805

I can see your girdle, you disgusting fat fuck.

Get off the fucking stage.

#807

⇓

Wow, I'm so honored to be with you guys tonight

#808

⇓

to celebrate my dear friend and mentor homelander.

#809

⇓

I'm here to do more than wish you a happy birthday, though.

#810

⇓

I'm thrilled to be announcing

#811

⇓

a project that is near and dear to my heart.

#812

⇓

The starlight house is a nonprofit foundation

#813

⇓

dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk youth.

#814

⇓

Hey, homelander! Your Nazi died!

#815

⇓

Did he just say his Nazi died?

#816

⇓

Let's go.

#817

⇓

Homelander...

#818

⇓

He's just, he's a human. He's just like the rest of us.

#819

⇓

And we all make mistakes, right?

#820

⇓

But we all deserve second chances.

#821

⇓

In that spirit, homelander has agreed

#822

⇓

to donate $10 million...

#823

⇓

- To the starlight house, which is... - No.

#824

⇓

I mean... come on. Give it up. Give it up for this guy.

#825

⇓

No. No.

#826

⇓

No.

#827

⇓

Starlight lied to you just now. She did.

#828

⇓

I don't make mistakes.

#829

⇓

I'm not "just like the rest of you."

#830

⇓

I'm stronger. I'm smarter.

#831

⇓

I'm better. I am better.

#832

⇓

I'm not some weak-kneed fucking crybaby

#833

⇓

that goes around fucking apologizing all the time.

#834

⇓

And why the fuck would you want me to be?

#835

⇓

Go to fucking commercial, Roger. Go to fucking commercial.

#836

⇓

Don't you dare stop rolling, Roger!

#837

⇓

All my life, people have tried to control me.

#838

⇓

My whole life.

#839

⇓

Rich people, powerful people

#840

⇓

have tried to muzzle me, cancel me,

#841

⇓

keep me impotent and obedient, like I'm a fucking puppet.

#842

⇓

You know what? It worked.

#843

⇓

Because I allowed it to work.

#844

⇓

And guess what. If they can control me,

#845

⇓

then you can bet your ass they can control you.

#846

⇓

They already do. You just don't realize it.

#847

⇓

I'm done.

#848

⇓

I am done apologizing.

#849

⇓

I am done being persecuted for my strength.

#850

⇓

You people should be thanking Christ

#851

⇓

that I am who and what I am, because you need me.

#852

⇓

You need me to save you.

#853

⇓

You do.

#854

⇓

I am the only one who possibly can.

#855

You're not the real heroes.
