The Boys

Season 3, Episode 4 — Glorious Five Year Plan

Me and the boys, we're all set up.

#1

⇓

May I please have a green light?

#2

⇓

No maiming or torture or setting anyone on fire.

#3

⇓

What the shit?

#4

⇓

You have restored a wholesome image.

#5

⇓

The board wants to make you cocaptain of the seven.

#6

⇓

I am just a man who fell for the wrong woman.

#7

⇓

I am excited for everyone to meet the real me.

#8

⇓

I'm not just like the rest of you.

#9

⇓

I am better! I'm the real hero.

#10

⇓

White males in the rust belt loved your speech.

#11

⇓

Fuck yes!

#12

⇓

He was just walking home from work.

#13

⇓

Blue hawk curb-stomped him so hard, it cracked the pavement.

#14

⇓

They need you to speak up.

#15

⇓

I'm Michael Jordan. I'm not Malcolm X.

#16

⇓

I could bring good people into the seven.

#17

⇓

You keep your distance. She's my girl now.

#18

⇓

He's lost his mind.

#19

⇓

As long as I'm ceo, he's under control.

#20

⇓

Neuman's the head popper.

#21

⇓

Pretty much Stan Edgar's daughter, too.

#22

⇓

I thought we could fight vought the right way, but we can't.

#23

⇓

- We have to do it your way. - I think I have something.

#24

⇓

- What's bcl red? - Some kind of weapon.

#25

⇓

If you believe the rumors, it's the thing that killed soldier boy.

#26

⇓

This is our best chance to kill homelander.

#27

⇓

- What's this? - Temp v.

#28

⇓

Makes you a supe for 24 hours.

#29

⇓

- What killed soldier boy? - Ask the fucking CIA!

#30

⇓

You knew and you never said a fucking word.

#31

⇓

You said you'd always watch out for me!

#32

⇓

I hate you.

#33

⇓

Set up a meeting with little Nina.

#34

⇓

This is a very bad idea.

#35

⇓

No, frenchie, it's a very fucking good idea.

#36

⇓

We're going to Russia.

#37

⇓

⇓

You're on v.

#64

⇓

Temporary v.

#65

⇓

Barely lasts 24 hours.

#66

⇓

- Where'd you even get it? - One of them websites.

#67

⇓

- Boners for days. - No, no, no, no, no.

#68

⇓

None of your smirky shit.

#69

⇓

I only had one dose. All right?

#70

⇓

Gunpowder's dead.

#71

⇓

We know what we need to know. End of.

#72

⇓

Wait, wait, you-you-you...

#73

⇓

You killed... gunpowder?

#74

⇓

With powers? You...

#75

⇓

You had superpowers?

#76

⇓

Oh, look, let's just give it a rest, all right?

#77

⇓

It's over. I'm fine.

#78

⇓

Wait, wait, d-d-do the others know?

#79

⇓

No, they do not.

#80

⇓

And if they find out, I'll put you in a fucking coma.

#81

⇓

Yeah, no, you're right. You seem t-totally fine.

#82

⇓

So, the New York times viciously attacked your birthday telecast,

#83

⇓

saying, and I quote,

#84

⇓

"it's scary to see a man that strong that riled up."

#85

⇓

Yeah, well, I am riled up. I am.

#86

⇓

I am sick and tired of the lies peddled by the mainstream media.

#87

⇓

Look, the real question here, cam:

#88

⇓

Who's behind these attacks?

#89

⇓

Who is trying to silence me?

#90

⇓

Maybe the rich and powerful forces you mentioned in your,

#91

⇓

I thought, courageous speech.

#92

⇓

- Thank you. - Who are they?

#93

⇓

Well, look, for the most part, they're people you've never heard of,

#94

⇓

but they operate in the shadows,

#95

⇓

and they are the ones pulling the strings.

#96

⇓

And unfortunately, they're everywhere.

#97

⇓

Even inside of vought.

#98

⇓

Sorry, they were out of oat milk.

#99

⇓

Uh, what are you doing here?

#100

⇓

I can't drop by on a whim?

#101

⇓

You never do anything on a whim.

#102

⇓

You can't be serious.

#103

⇓

We never go after homelander. It is practically federal policy.

#104

⇓

No one is going after anyone.

#105

⇓

Just a gentle reminder of who's in charge.

#106

⇓

I assume you saw him on Cameron Coleman this morning?

#107

⇓

He's testing boundaries.

#108

⇓

And when that happens, you have to discipline them

#109

⇓

like, well, like a parent would.

#110

⇓

Like with Zoe.

#111

⇓

Zoe won't rip my spine out.

#112

⇓

Let's not overreact.

#113

⇓

He used foul language during that birthday rant.

#114

⇓

So you make a public statement.

#115

⇓

A stern reprimand, some fcc fines, nothing serious.

#116

⇓

Just a reminder that he can't get away with anything.

#117

⇓

He's gonna love that.

#118

⇓

You'll be perfectly safe.

#119

⇓

And Zoe?

#120

⇓

Especially Zoe.

#121

⇓

Homelander might bark a little, but he won't bite.

#122

⇓

He's still afraid of me.

#123

⇓

I would never let anything happen to you or Zoe.

#124

⇓

You know that, right?

#125

⇓

Yeah, yes, of course.

#126

⇓

Gents.

#127

⇓

Hello, hello.

#128

⇓

You must be Nina.

#129

⇓

William butcher.

#130

⇓

Sergei, why you not tell me he's so delicious?

#131

⇓

I am making some pelmeni if you want.

#132

⇓

Of course, I cannot cook like my Sergei.

#133

⇓

His cassoulet?

#134

⇓

Made me come.

#135

⇓

I'm still a bit upset you stole him from me.

#136

⇓

Well, we offered him a better home, didn't we?

#137

⇓

So, to what do I owe this pleasure?

#138

⇓

I'm after a particular bit of tech.

#139

⇓

A weapon, you'll not be surprised to hear.

#140

⇓

And I thought you and your mates at the kremlin might be able to help.

#141

⇓

- That's giving me some credit. - Where it's due, love.

#142

⇓

Way I heard it, you filmed a couple of punters

#143

⇓

from the interior ministry

#144

⇓

having a right old frolic under your golden shower.

#145

⇓

That's to cover cherie's debt.

#146

⇓

Plus a hundred grand for your troubles.

#147

⇓

Does your bureau know you're giving me their nice clean money?

#148

⇓

Well, it's the us government, love.

#149

⇓

They'll just print more.

#150

⇓

Hmm.

#151

⇓

Yeah, the money is good for my trouble,

#152

⇓

but what about my pain and suffering?

#153

⇓

Then there is the time spent and my stress.

#154

⇓

I have been sleeping so poorly.

#155

⇓

And what would ease your pain?

#156

⇓

Cherie.

#157

⇓

Non. No way.

#158

⇓

That is all I want.

#159

⇓

You and I, we're just getting started, dear love.

#160

⇓

Don't tell me there ain't no, uh...

#161

⇓

Wiggle room.

#162

⇓

- Monsieur charcutier... - Frenchie.

#163

⇓

It's time we let the world know.

#164

⇓

Starlight and I are in love.

#165

⇓

#homelight.

#166

⇓

- When's it air? - Um, tonight.

#167

⇓

#homelight?

#168

⇓

You agreed to this?

#169

⇓

It's like what you said, hughie.

#170

⇓

Whatever it takes. This is...

#171

⇓

This is what it takes.

#172

⇓

Hey.

#173

⇓

It's gonna be okay.

#174

⇓

Really.

#175

⇓

Let me save you for once.

#176

⇓

Hughie.

#177

⇓

This has to work.

#178

⇓

It'll work.

#179

⇓

What'll work?

#180

⇓

Uh, my voughtsonic speaker setup.

#181

⇓

I'm sorry, uh, how did you get in?

#182

⇓

I have a key.

#183

⇓

Yeah, I got to keep an eye on my best girl, right?

#184

⇓

By the way, you're a sound sleeper, starlight.

#185

⇓

Oh, look at you two. I'm kidding.

#186

⇓

Come on, lighten up. I'm joking.

#187

⇓

But we got to go. Running late.

#188

⇓

Rolling stone cover shoot. Hot issue.

#189

⇓

We got "hottest ship."

#190

⇓

Don't you worry, hughie.

#191

⇓

This little love affair is strictly for the cameras.

#192

⇓

Although that's how me and Maeve started out,

#193

⇓

and that... Got quite spicy.

#194

⇓

Yeah, I'm not kidding, man.

#195

⇓

Let's just say that Maeve can bend a steel pipe

#196

⇓

without using her hands.

#197

⇓

What's she like?

#198

⇓

She a good fuck?

#199

⇓

Whoa.

#200

⇓

Touch him or anyone he cares about,

#201

⇓

and I'll walk.

#202

⇓

And I'll take my approval points with me.

#203

⇓

Women.

#204

⇓

I'm kidding.

#205

⇓

You really need to lighten up, guys.

#206

⇓

Come on, starlight.

#207

⇓

Mario's waiting.

#208

⇓

I'll call you later.

#209

⇓

Blue hawk?

#210

⇓

- Mm-hmm. - Who cares about blue hawk?

#211

⇓

He's way below your pay grade.

#212

⇓

He's brutalizing black people in Trenton.

#213

⇓

I think vought has a responsibility here.

#214

⇓

Mm-hmm.

#215

⇓

Right.

#216

⇓

Wait, you're serious?

#217

⇓

- I just want to talk to him. - Of course.

#218

⇓

Social justice is so important around here.

#219

⇓

- Since when? - A-train,

#220

⇓

"black lives matter" is my favorite hashtag.

#221

⇓

My insta? Nothing but black screens.

#222

⇓

And look at you. You look amazing!

#223

⇓

This whole new thing you did,

#224

⇓

that is exactly what inspired this entire campaign.

#225

⇓

To be silent is to be complicit.

#226

⇓

So let's shoot the spot, and we'll chat about blue hawk later.

#227

⇓

When, Ashley?

#228

⇓

Later, a-train.

#229

⇓

And action on Dolly.

#230

⇓

Yes, sir!

#231

⇓

We're here today for peace and love and prosperity!

#232

⇓

Where all those people going?

#233

⇓

There's a protest down the street.

#234

⇓

A-train, where you going? Almost ready to shoot.

#235

⇓

This is important.

#236

⇓

We got to listen to each other.

#237

⇓

A-train's turbo rush energy drink.

#238

⇓

And cut!

#239

⇓

Like, uh, four or five days maybe.

#240

⇓

A hell of a week to fall off your peloton.

#241

⇓

Look, I'm popping Vicodin like they're tic tacs,

#242

⇓

and my arm still kills.

#243

⇓

Uh, I'm no good to you, Vicky.

#244

⇓

- Really. - Fine. Okay.

#245

⇓

Just stay in bed, get some rest, get better.

#246

⇓

That's exactly what I'm doing.

#247

⇓

Thanks, vick.

#248

⇓

First time flying private, kid?

#249

⇓

First time out of the country.

#250

⇓

Five years, I work for Nina, 23 contracts.

#251

⇓

Never she's giving anything away. What is this?

#252

⇓

Now she giving us the plane, those shiny passports?

#253

⇓

You think he promised her cherie?

#254

⇓

Fucking hell, frenchie.

#255

⇓

What kind of monster do you think I am, eh?

#256

⇓

Enjoy.

#257

⇓

Pretend you're on entourage.

#258

⇓

Merde.

#259

⇓

Entourage is but for the stupid and the damned.

#260

⇓

Hi.

#261

⇓

Can we talk?

#262

⇓

- No. - Maeve, please.

#263

⇓

I heard that you stopped training.

#264

⇓

Yeah?

#265

⇓

You also hear that I wake up six days a week hungover,

#266

⇓

tits-deep in some random fuck pile?

#267

⇓

People think what I want them to.

#268

⇓

Okay, listen.

#269

⇓

Have you ever heard of something called "bcl red"?

#270

⇓

You mean a weapon that can kill homelander,

#271

⇓

if butcher can find it?

#272

⇓

You know?

#273

⇓

Who do you think sent them down the rabbit hole?

#274

⇓

It's why I'm training.

#275

⇓

Or haven't had a drink in four awful, shit-eating months.

#276

⇓

Maybe I can buy butcher a second or two to get a good shot.

#277

⇓

At the very least, I'll get a couple of licks in.

#278

⇓

Okay.

#279

⇓

Okay, okay. So there's you and me.

#280

⇓

Maybe we can find some others.

#281

⇓

Right. Yeah.

#282

⇓

I'm sure you and duluth's most mighty would really get the job done.

#283

⇓

This is my problem.

#284

⇓

I'm the one who was with the asshole.

#285

⇓

Maeve...

#286

⇓

You cannot do this alone.

#287

⇓

He'll kill you.

#288

⇓

You really care that little about yourself?

#289

⇓

I got it coming.

#290

⇓

Good news.

#291

⇓

Nina's had a word with her kremlin piss boys,

#292

⇓

and she's located the lab.

#293

⇓

- That's great. Where is it? - Before she tells us that,

#294

⇓

we just got to do a little job for her.

#295

⇓

Ain't nothing.

#296

⇓

Just some local oligarch who got in her bad books.

#297

⇓

Non. I don't do this anymore.

#298

⇓

Definitely not for Nina.

#299

⇓

Well, that's a good job, then, innit?

#300

⇓

'Cause you're not the one doing it.

#301

⇓

She is.

#302

⇓

Sorry, love, victim of your own success.

#303

⇓

Now, Nina's got you in.

#304

⇓

You'll be the wanker's pro girl for the night.

#305

⇓

You just get in there, give the cunt a good noose,

#306

⇓

and get the fuck out. Easy-peasy.

#307

⇓

I'm begging you, no.

#308

⇓

Look, frenchie, it was this or cherie's head.

#309

⇓

Fucking hell. No good deed.

#310

⇓

That is exactly what you are.

#311

⇓

And case you two forgot...

#312

⇓

I tell you what to do...

#313

⇓

And you fucking do it.

#314

⇓

J” baby, baby, baby j”

#315

⇓

j” got your license to drive... j”

#316

⇓

Oh, shit.

#317

⇓

You're about to tell me something awful again, aren't you?

#318

⇓

J” got your hands spread wide j”

#319

⇓

j” at ten and two j”

#320

⇓

-J” ten and two j” -j” I'm gonna take you... j”

#321

⇓

Just listen to me.

#322

⇓

If it comes down to it...

#323

⇓

I mean, if we need to fight him for real,

#324

⇓

will you help me?

#325

⇓

You serious?

#326

⇓

With how he's been acting lately?

#327

⇓

He's invincible.

#328

⇓

There might be a way. Okay?

#329

⇓

It's safer if you don't know how,

#330

⇓

but we need your help.

#331

⇓

There's me. There's Maeve.

#332

⇓

We probably need four or five more, and we have a shot.

#333

⇓

J” show me your ride... j”

#334

⇓

I'm so sorry, Alex. I didn't want to have to ask you this,

#335

⇓

but I don't know where else to go.

#336

⇓

J” you're my teenage queen, oh baby, baby, baby... j”

#337

⇓

okay, I'm in.

#338

⇓

You're in?

#339

⇓

Just like that? You don't even want to think about it?

#340

⇓

I'm good.

#341

⇓

I don't understand. Why are you so...

#342

⇓

Nice to me?

#343

⇓

Isn't it obvious?

#344

⇓

You're the only girl I've ever loved, Annie January.

#345

⇓

Oh. Alex, I'm sorry. I-I-I...

#346

⇓

No, it's just me and hughie...

#347

⇓

I'm fucking with you.

#348

⇓

Get over yourself.

#349

⇓

You really think my grandmother was gonna let me marry

#350

⇓

the whitest girl in all of white?

#351

⇓

You asshole.

#352

⇓

Yes, that's what I am. Listen to me.

#353

⇓

Since you moved to New York, you've gotten tough as shit.

#354

⇓

The Annie I knew?

#355

⇓

She saw the good in people.

#356

⇓

J” drive me crazy... j”

#357

⇓

I'm gonna help you 'cause it's the right thing to do.

#358

⇓

J” license to drive j”

#359

⇓

- that's all. - J” got your license to drive me crazy j”

#360

⇓

Welcome aboard, supersonic.

#361

⇓

We're all so pleased to have you here.

#362

⇓

Especially your former lover, starlight.

#363

⇓

So, in your honor, got a little surprise.

#364

⇓

Mmm. Seriously, we have the best taco bowls right here in the building.

#365

⇓

Should make you feel right at home, pal.

#366

⇓

Bienvenidos, muchacho.

#367

⇓

I, uh, I don't really speak Spanish, sir.

#368

⇓

This is muy delicioso.

#369

⇓

Okay. Meeting is over.

#370

⇓

And I need the room, so away we go.

#371

⇓

Um, actually, homelander, I've got something.

#372

⇓

A-train.

#373

⇓

By all means. Floor's yours.

#374

⇓

I wanted to talk about blue hawk.

#375

⇓

- Blue hawk? - Out of Trenton.

#376

⇓

Okay. What?

#377

⇓

He's been over-patrolling black neighborhoods.

#378

⇓

It's a problem.

#379

⇓

That's terrible.

#380

⇓

Thank you, starlight. It is.

#381

⇓

I thought, you know, since we got...

#382

⇓

Some rebuilding to do in that demo,

#383

⇓

maybe we could bench him for a while.

#384

⇓

Could be a six, seven-point bump with African Americans, at least.

#385

⇓

Wait, you want to bench him? Don't we need...

#386

⇓

More superheroes, not less?

#387

⇓

I mean, you share a lot of the same base as blue hawk.

#388

⇓

Can you really afford to look soft on crime?

#389

⇓

Uh...

#390

⇓

That's actually correct, deep.

#391

⇓

Good job.

#392

⇓

There's your answer. So, bad luck, a-train, huh?

#393

⇓

- Okay. I do need the room. Out. - Fuck.

#394

⇓

What?

#395

⇓

Victoria neuman is doing a press conference tonight.

#396

⇓

It's about you.

#397

⇓

You're just finding out about it now?

#398

⇓

I'm sure it's a nothingburger.

#399

⇓

Hey, come here for a sec.

#400

⇓

Is your idiot brain getting fucked by stupid?

#401

⇓

It's not rhetorical.

#402

⇓

Answer me.

#403

⇓

My idiot brain is not getting fucked by stupid, sir.

#404

⇓

Well, then go and do your only job

#405

⇓

and find out what the fuck is going on, Ashley.

#406

⇓

Yes, sir.

#407

⇓

Deep. Who asked... Excuse me. Who asked you?

#408

⇓

Back there. Who the fuck asked you for your opinion?

#409

⇓

- I am a member of this team. - Please.

#410

⇓

Homelander's a great man,

#411

⇓

but the way that you kiss his ass is fucking gross.

#412

⇓

Hey, man. Look, I get it. Okay? This is tough.

#413

⇓

You know, me handpicked by homelander to come back

#414

⇓

and you on your way out again.

#415

⇓

And a rebrand. Oh, this late in the game.

#416

⇓

Ouch. The new a-train.

#417

⇓

- Mmm. - How'd that work out for eagle the Archer

#418

⇓

when he became eagle the rapper? Oh, that's right.

#419

⇓

It fucking didn't. It's just sad, man.

#420

⇓

You're like if Ashton kutcher fucked a clown fish.

#421

⇓

You're a joke, and you're so dumb you don't even know it.

#422

⇓

Oh, yeah? Well, how 'bout I tell homelander who really leaked

#423

⇓

all that Nazi shit on stormfront?

#424

⇓

How 'bout I tell him you fished the flight 37 video

#425

⇓

out of the Atlantic and gave it to Maeve?

#426

⇓

What? Come on. Run at me, bro.

#427

⇓

I forgot your legs don't fucking work.

#428

⇓

Gill-punch me?

#429

⇓

- Yeah. - Motherfucker.

#430

⇓

Boys, boys, boys.

#431

⇓

A-train.

#432

⇓

Just stay there and rest those useless fucking legs.

#433

⇓

Hey, man.

#434

⇓

- Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. - Get off of me!

#435

⇓

You do not want to do that. Take it easy.

#436

⇓

- Calm down, all right? Take it easy, man. - Fuck off.

#437

⇓

Fuck him.

#438

⇓

- Fuck home... - Stop.

#439

⇓

What if he hears you?

#440

⇓

I'm supposed to take shit from the deep?

#441

⇓

The fucking deep?

#442

⇓

Homelander's gonna back him over me?

#443

⇓

After everything that I've done for that man.

#444

⇓

I hit one little speed bump.

#445

⇓

Now...

#446

⇓

I'm fucking garbage.

#447

⇓

What if...

#448

⇓

We could do something about it?

#449

⇓

What do you have in mind?

#450

⇓

Butcher, what the fuck is wrong with you, man?

#451

⇓

I'm sure you're gonna tell me.

#452

⇓

That shit you pulled with Ryan

#453

⇓

and now this coldhearted shit you said to kimiko?

#454

⇓

How could anybody be such a complete asshole?

#455

⇓

Practice.

#456

⇓

You knocked on my doorstep, motherfucker.

#457

⇓

And I respect the chain of command, but this?

#458

⇓

I'm not gonna tolerate your bullshit anymore, man.

#459

⇓

Do you remember when we met?

#460

⇓

Hard to forget.

#461

⇓

Me and the colonel, we had our pick of officers.

#462

⇓

Some, uh...

#463

⇓

Some real haircuts.

#464

⇓

Do you ever wonder

#465

⇓

why we picked some grunt marine stuck in the brig?

#466

⇓

Let's see.

#467

⇓

I knocked out my racist co.

#468

⇓

Sent him to the icu with one punch, so you knew I was strong.

#469

⇓

And you read my file, so you knew I hated vought.

#470

⇓

Yeah, it weren't none of them.

#471

⇓

I mean, they didn't hurt, mind, but no.

#472

⇓

We spoke to the blokes that you went through basic with.

#473

⇓

And to the man, they said

#474

⇓

that you were the one that held that platoon together.

#475

⇓

A natural-born leader.

#476

⇓

You never told me that.

#477

⇓

Mate...

#478

⇓

I'm under no illusions about who I am.

#479

⇓

And that's why we brought you in.

#480

⇓

'Cause no matter how hard I got to be...

#481

⇓

You're here to look after the boys.

#482

⇓

Now, if I thought to do that,

#483

⇓

I can't be a complete asshole, can I?

#484

⇓

Just mostly one.

#485

⇓

-J” that girl is j” -j” poison j”

#486

⇓

j” if I were you I 'd take precaution j” -j” precaution j”

#487

⇓

j” before I step to meet a fly girl j”

#488

⇓

j” you know? J”

#489

⇓

-J” that girl is j” -j” poison j”

#490

⇓

j” poison j”

#491

⇓

j” poison...

#492

⇓

J” poison j”

#493

⇓

j” poison j”

#494

⇓

j” poison j”

#495

⇓

Come on.

#496

⇓

These are contraband.

#497

⇓

Homelander's "star-spangled banger."

#498

⇓

The deep "flounder pounder."

#499

⇓

Black noir's "silent screamer."

#500

⇓

Come. Come on.

#501

⇓

- How do you feel? - Like throwing up.

#502

⇓

Just remember, he deserves this.

#503

⇓

Good luck, sport.

#504

⇓

Good afternoon. Thank you all for being here.

#505

⇓

I'm congresswoman Victoria neuman,

#506

⇓

the director of the federal bureau of superhuman affairs.

#507

⇓

What's going on?

#508

⇓

- Oh, shit. - For the last year,

#509

⇓

the bureau has been working with vought international

#510

⇓

- under one guiding principle. - That.

#511

⇓

The most powerful among us are not above the law,

#512

⇓

including the most powerful man at the company.

#513

⇓

Homelander...

#514

⇓

Has bravely come fonnard as a whistleblower

#515

⇓

and provided evidence of crimes committed within vought

#516

⇓

by ceo Stan Edgar.

#517

⇓

And in the coming days, the fbsa will be investigating

#518

⇓

charges of blackmail,

#519

⇓

perjury and obstruction of justice

#520

⇓

against Mr. Edgar.

#521

⇓

Vought international must be held

#522

⇓

to the highest ethical and legal standards.

#523

⇓

- What did you do? - The people are entitled to the truth...

#524

⇓

Something I should've done a long time ago.

#525

⇓

This is a superhero company.

#526

⇓

Always has been. Belongs to us, not him.

#527

⇓

So I set things straight.

#528

⇓

That's all.

#529

⇓

Oh, and, uh,

#530

⇓

anyone who's been hiding behind his little apron?

#531

⇓

That's over now, too.

#532

⇓

It's a new day, people.

#533

⇓

It's the dawn of the seven.

#534

⇓

Why?

#535

⇓

All these years, you weren't protecting me.

#536

⇓

I was protecting you.

#537

⇓

- I have to look out for Zoe. - We need to go, Mr. Edgar.

#538

⇓

So, from now on, the talking points

#539

⇓

don't come from Suzanne. They come from me.

#540

⇓

I approve every single word of copy. Are we clear?

#541

⇓

Crystal, ma'am.

#542

⇓

Jesus Christ. It's like this script was written by a roomful

#543

⇓

of chapped-ass monkeys, am I right?

#544

⇓

It's so bad.

#545

⇓

I wrote it, ma'am.

#546

⇓

I'm sorry.

#547

⇓

Is your idiot brain getting fucked by stupid?

#548

⇓

No, that's not rhetorical.

#549

⇓

Answer me.

#550

⇓

What if I said yes?

#551

⇓

Then I would have to punish you.

#552

⇓

How would you punish me?

#553

⇓

My idiot brain is getting fucked by stupid, ma'am.

#554

⇓

Well, how'd you get on?

#555

⇓

Oh, Nina's gonna love this.

#556

⇓

See? Told you. Easy-peasy.

#557

⇓

Mon coeur?

#558

⇓

The girls who shot you?

#559

⇓

They were just scared.

#560

⇓

You're right.

#561

⇓

Maybe it's time we leave.

#562

⇓

Really.

#563

⇓

Well, butcher, he can, uh...

#564

⇓

Well, he can lick my asshole.

#565

⇓

But hughie and, uh, and mm, they need us.

#566

⇓

So we do this job.

#567

⇓

And then where do you want to go?

#568

⇓

We go to marseilles.

#569

⇓

Hey.

#570

⇓

Heavy flow day?

#571

⇓

Kidding.

#572

⇓

Be honest.

#573

⇓

You thinking of popping my melon?

#574

⇓

Who knows? Give it a whirl?

#575

⇓

Can we make this quick? It's been a long day.

#576

⇓

It has.

#577

⇓

It can't have been easy shanking the old man like that.

#578

⇓

But, if it's any consolation,

#579

⇓

he was ready to do exactly the same to you.

#580

⇓

What's this?

#581

⇓

Just a little oppo research that I borrowed from Edgar's office.

#582

⇓

How do you think I found out you were one of us?

#583

⇓

This isn't his. This is someone else's.

#584

⇓

It's his.

#585

⇓

You're not his daughter.

#586

⇓

You're his weapon.

#587

⇓

It's what they do.

#588

⇓

They all do it. All of them.

#589

⇓

Look, the point is,

#590

⇓

they have to do that to us.

#591

⇓

They have to, because they know

#592

⇓

deep down when they lie awake at night...

#593

⇓

Do you have it or not?

#594

⇓

As promised.

#595

⇓

Original recipe. All 11 herbs and spices.

#596

⇓

Vicky.

#597

⇓

I'm glad you chose your own kind.

#598

⇓

That was smart.

#599

⇓

Butcher, can I, uh...

#600

⇓

What are you doing?

#601

⇓

Contingency.

#602

⇓

In case things go ass over tit at the lab.

#603

⇓

I want to try some.

#604

⇓

Don't be daft. This shit is poison, hughie.

#605

⇓

A lad like you don't want no part of it.

#606

⇓

What, you mean like a loser?

#607

⇓

A fuckup?

#608

⇓

Sooner or later, homelander will find Ryan.

#609

⇓

Okay? It's just a matter of time.

#610

⇓

I have to do this, all right?

#611

⇓

You don't.

#612

⇓

Annie's in just as much danger.

#613

⇓

Homelander almost iasered me in half in front of her,

#614

⇓

and it was like...

#615

⇓

It was like I was back with every bully that I ever had, just taking it.

#616

⇓

And then she had to save me again.

#617

⇓

Butcher, please. Please.

#618

⇓

Please.

#619

⇓

Because right now, I am so angry that I can't even breathe.

#620

⇓

Oh, hughie.

#621

⇓

It's shittier.

#622

⇓

It's not power.

#623

⇓

It's punishment.

#624

⇓

You don't deserve none of it.

#625

⇓

What, and you do?

#626

⇓

Get ready to go.

#627

⇓

You do have a hell of a view from up here.

#628

⇓

I'll give you that.

#629

⇓

You should see it from space.

#630

⇓

Unbelievable. Eighty over 60.

#631

⇓

Your entire life is imploding,

#632

⇓

and it's as if you're reading fucking John Grisham.

#633

⇓

I heard about your, uh, temporary leave of absence, by the way.

#634

⇓

Those things do have a nasty habit of becoming permanent, though, don't they?

#635

⇓

- Don't blame Vicky. You... - I don't.

#636

⇓

If there's one thing I taught her, it was to play all sides.

#637

⇓

She's more like me than I ever imagined.

#638

⇓

But I am curious.

#639

⇓

What did you give her?

#640

⇓

A little respect, Stan.

#641

⇓

Something you should've given me.

#642

⇓

What good would that do?

#643

⇓

Where would it even go

#644

⇓

but to the bottomless, gaping pit of insecurity you call a soul?

#645

⇓

Oh, god. You want to know something?

#646

⇓

I used to be intimidated by you.

#647

⇓

I did.

#648

⇓

And now I look at you, i-I'm just...

#649

⇓

I-I have no idea why. Truly.

#650

⇓

Y-You're not even pathetic.

#651

⇓

You're-you're just... nothing.

#652

⇓

Then why are you still here,

#653

⇓

looking for my approval like I'm your daddy?

#654

⇓

And even if I were, what would there be to approve of?

#655

⇓

The company is yours.

#656

⇓

No one left to stand up to you.

#657

⇓

But I think you'll come to sorely regret that.

#658

⇓

And why is that?

#659

⇓

Because there's no one left to cover for you, either.

#660

⇓

Eventually, probably soon, the world will recognize you

#661

⇓

for the pitiful disappointment you are.

#662

⇓

You are not worthy of my respect.

#663

⇓

You are not a god.

#664

⇓

You are simply bad product.

#665

⇓

I'm scared.

#666

⇓

I know.

#667

⇓

You know, when I was little, they did the same thing to me.

#668

⇓

And I'm all right.

#669

⇓

We have to, okay?

#670

⇓

'Cause you know what? It's gonna make you so strong and safe.

#671

⇓

Forever.

#672

⇓

- Okay? - Okay.

#673

⇓

Okay, turn around. On your belly.

#674

⇓

Just a pinch.

#675

⇓

Okay. Okay. Come here, come here, come here.

#676

⇓

It's okay. Shh.

#677

⇓

It's okay. It's okay. Shh.

#678

⇓

Shh, shh. It's okay.

#679

⇓

- Ow! - It's gonna be okay.

#680

⇓

Shh, shh. It's okay.

#681

⇓

I've got you. I've got you. Shh.

#682

⇓

That chick Nina didn't do us no favors.

#683

⇓

That ain't a lab. It's a military compound.

#684

⇓

Russian military compound.

#685

⇓

Be like storming a Baja fresh.

#686

⇓

Baja fresh ain't shooting us with ak-473 on full auto, motherfucker.

#687

⇓

Red dawn, motherfucker.

#688

⇓

Rocky iv, motherfucker.

#689

⇓

Come on. We ain't got much time.

#690

⇓

Any idea what this supe gun is supposed to look like?

#691

⇓

Ain't the joy in the discovery, eh?

#692

⇓

What is it?

#693

⇓

Hey, there's something here.

#694

⇓

Look.

#695

⇓

Look, look. Oh.

#696

⇓

Hey.

#697

⇓

What does it say?

#698

⇓

Says his name is Jamie.

#699

⇓

Jamie.

#700

⇓

- Are you okay, Jamie? - No, no, no, don't fuck with it.

#701

⇓

Just leave him alone.

#702

⇓

Aw. Jamie.

#703

⇓

Who's a handsome, petite, little gerbil?

#704

⇓

It's a hamster.

#705

⇓

My daughter went through three of them.

#706

⇓

Oh, shit.

#707

⇓

Motherfucking v'd-up hamster.

#708

⇓

I told you not to fuck with him. Goddamn it.

#709

⇓

Look lively!

#710

⇓

Merci, Jamie.

#711

⇓

I'm out!

#712

⇓

Oi!

#713

⇓

Evening, cunts.

#714

⇓

Mm!

#715

⇓

Oh! Oh!

#716

⇓

Oh, shit. I'm sorry.

#717

⇓

I'm sorry.

#718

⇓

Uh...

#719

⇓

Your dick's out.

#720

⇓

- Butcher? - All right, look, hang about.

#721

⇓

You and hughie both took compound v?

#722

⇓

What are you two, fucking supes now?

#723

⇓

Temporary v.

#724

⇓

Oh, she say, "why do you do this to yourself on purpose?"

#725

⇓

Only lasts 24 hours, all right?

#726

⇓

Break glass in case of emergencies, you know, like this one.

#727

⇓

- And you give this to-to hughie? - I didn't give it to him.

#728

⇓

The thieving git must have broken into the case and nicked it.

#729

⇓

- Uh... - Let's just find this thing

#730

⇓

and get the fuck out of here, all right?

#731

⇓

You're better than this, kid.

#732

⇓

Butcher, I'm... look...

#733

⇓

I'm s... I'm sorry, okay? It's just, I...

#734

⇓

Soldier boy.

#735

⇓

Ah... it's okay.

#736

⇓

Kimiko.

#737

⇓

It's okay. Huh?

#738

⇓

It's okay.

#739

⇓

She's not healing.

#740

⇓

Why she's not healing?

#741

⇓

Kimiko. Why does she not heal?

#742

⇓

Kimiko. She's not healing!

#743

⇓

Gauze. Frenchie, fresh gauze.

#744

⇓

- Oh, no, no, no. - Give me some fresh gauze.

#745

⇓

Open your eyes. Hold her head up, frenchie.

#746

⇓

- Mon coeur. - Open your eyes, kimiko.

#747

⇓

Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

#748

⇓

- Mon coeur. - Kimiko, there you go.

#749

⇓

Look at frenchie.

#750

⇓

- Mon coeur? Mon coeur? - Open your eyes, kimiko, open your eyes.

#751

⇓

Soldier boy was always an hard bastard, but not like that.

#752

⇓

Mon coeur.

#753

⇓

They must have done something to him.

#754

⇓

What you think?

#755

⇓

Mon coeur. Mon coeur.

#756

⇓

- Kimiko... - It's over, butcher.

#757

⇓

There ain't no team for me to hold together no more.

#758

⇓

Mon coeur? No, please, please, no, no, no, no, no.

#759

⇓

You made sure of that.

#760

⇓

Come on. Come on. Kimiko!

#761

⇓

Hold her head up, frenchie.

#762

⇓

- She's... no. - Kimiko, open your eyes.

#763

⇓

- Mon coeur! - Open your eyes.

#764

⇓

Hey, you know what? I think I want to fly home.

#765

⇓

You want to fly?

#766

⇓

Uh, the car's right here.

#767

⇓

Um, next time?

#768

⇓

No, no, no, no. Come on, I'll-I'll carry you.

#769

⇓

Who wants to see starlight and me fly?

#770

⇓

Huh?

#771

⇓

What, are you gonna disappoint them?

#772

⇓

- Okay. - Come on, up you go.

#773

⇓

There you go.

#774

⇓

I, uh, I have a view I really want to show you.

#775

⇓

It's gonna blow your mind.

#776

⇓

Hold on tight.

#777

⇓

This really is a beautiful city.

#778

⇓

You know, you don't need to do this. The cameras are gone.

#779

⇓

Yeah.

#780

⇓

But, see, that's the thing about me, starlight.

#781

⇓

If I promise something, I deliver.

#782

⇓

Now, that is the view of a lifetime.

#783

⇓

Alex?

#784

⇓

Alex!

#785

⇓

Oh, my god.

#786

⇓

You fucking psycho!

#787
