Season 3, Episode 7 — Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed

Do it!

#1

⇓

I never got a chance to say goodbye to Lenny.

#2

⇓

You're the fucking reason he's dead.

#3

⇓

You're the one who abandoned him.

#4

⇓

You're a fucking monster.

#5

⇓

It takes one to know one.

#6

⇓

Hughie, you shot up an untested drug from vought.

#7

⇓

That was stupid and dangerous.

#8

⇓

Annie.

#9

⇓

I thought the drugs had fucked you up, but this is all you.

#10

⇓

Kimiko! No!

#11

⇓

Nate!

#12

⇓

You hurt my brother. You're not gonna get away with it.

#13

⇓

You think that soldier boy is going after the rest of payback?

#14

⇓

Why would he kill crimson countess?

#15

⇓

He was your team leader. Do you have any idea?

#16

⇓

Anything?

#17

⇓

You help me find the rest of my team, and I'll help you with this homelander.

#18

⇓

This is a bad idea.

#19

⇓

Homelander helped make me america's sweetheart.

#20

⇓

Homelander is the worst of them.

#21

⇓

He's gonna regret that.

#22

⇓

A vnn special report.

#23

⇓

A nation betrayed.

#24

⇓

It's been five days, and still nothing but lies from vought.

#25

⇓

Soldier boy is still out there and Maeve is still missing.

#26

⇓

Miss Barrett, your reaction?

#27

⇓

Once again, Maeve is in rehab.

#28

⇓

And the soldier boy thing really takes the cake.

#29

⇓

He died in '84. She is trying to incite a panic.

#30

⇓

I wonder if starlight's actions could be considered treason.

#31

⇓

- Me, too. - So, is starlight just hysterical?

#32

⇓

Another woman scorned, after homelanderjilted her?

#33

⇓

Or is she trying to change the subject?

#34

⇓

- From what? - Her ties with this woman,

#35

⇓

a known terrorist with the shining light liberation army,

#36

⇓

a notorious human trafficking ring.

#37

⇓

Connect the dots, Cameron.

#38

⇓

J" if you want to be happy j“

#39

⇓

j” living a king's life j”

#40

⇓

j" never make a pretty woman your wife j”

#41

⇓

j" now, all you have to do is just what I say j"

#42

⇓

j" and then you may be jolly, merry and gay j"

#43

⇓

j” therefore, from a logical point of view... j“

#44

⇓

- what are you watching? - Old mistakes.

#45

⇓

J" uglier than you j”

#46

⇓

j” from a logical... j”

#47

⇓

I actually produced this piece of shit.

#48

⇓

Between you and me,

#49

⇓

soldier boy did to singing what pantyhose did to finger-fucking.

#50

⇓

Yeah.

#51

⇓

- What'd he want? - Um, well,

#52

⇓

he wanted me to tell you that you're out of astroglide.

#53

⇓

Jesus Christ. You know, I would say you fucks

#54

⇓

are overstaying your welcome, but what welcome?

#55

⇓

I thought you and soldier boy were friends.

#56

⇓

Why, 'cause he forced his way into my home?

#57

⇓

Let me tell you something, kid. I don't make friends with talent.

#58

⇓

They're all the same.

#59

⇓

- I mean, they're not all the same. - Eh.

#60

⇓

Come on, soldier boy was a hero, right?

#61

⇓

I mean, he stormed normandy.

#62

⇓

Yeah, he did. Two weeks after d-day. For the photo op.

#63

⇓

- So he didn't see any action? - Not in Germany.

#64

⇓

Sprayed a fire hose in Birmingham.

#65

⇓

Some target practice at Kent state.

#66

⇓

- There were rumors about dealey Plaza. - Wait, what?

#67

⇓

Yeah, and they call 'em the "good old days."

#68

⇓

The thing is, to be American

#69

⇓

means knowing you're the hero.

#70

⇓

So what do we do? We sweep all our filthy shit under the rug

#71

⇓

and we tell ourselves a myth like soldier boy.

#72

⇓

And I get stinking rich selling it.

#73

⇓

There you are.

#74

⇓

Oh, fuck me. Is he still at it?

#75

⇓

J' and I can't fight j“

#76

⇓

j” this feeling anymore... j“

#77

⇓

You got a minute?

#78

⇓

Oh, good. Lube? Huh? Come on, I can't go in raw.

#79

⇓

Please don't make eye contact.

#80

⇓

Hughie, listen, these women, they're like fine wine.

#81

⇓

Okay, the older they get, the more delicious, but the drier.

#82

⇓

Mary, Lucille, come on, chop-chop.

#83

⇓

Break time's over. That shag's not gonna vacuum itself.

#84

⇓

Come on.

#85

⇓

What's the problem?

#86

⇓

What's the problem? First of all,

#87

⇓

I can never fire those girls now, thank you.

#88

⇓

And second of all, this bed has seen two jaclyns.

#89

⇓

You know that? Smith and bisset.

#90

⇓

Y-You're treating it like a Reno cathouse.

#91

⇓

- Jesus. - The problem

#92

⇓

is you gave me 11 of mindstorm's last-knowns.

#93

⇓

So far, I've had a look at three and found fuck all.

#94

⇓

I-I'm chasing me fucking tail here, mate.

#95

⇓

Sounds like that's three down and eight to go.

#96

⇓

Yeah, and that's gonna take weeks, and weeks I don't got.

#97

⇓

Egyptian cotton sheets and now, I got to fucking burn 'em.

#98

⇓

The deal was, we get the rest of my team,

#99

⇓

- then we get homelander. - And what I'm saying,

#100

⇓

is I could use an hand figuring it out.

#101

⇓

I told you. Mindstorm's a paranoid fuck.

#102

⇓

But, hell, if you could hear everybody's shitty thoughts, you'd be, too.

#103

⇓

Look, he bought up all these run-down cabins all over the place.

#104

⇓

He's Howard Hughes without the piss jars.

#105

⇓

He's batshit crazy.

#106

⇓

Mindstorm's not crazy. He's bipolar.

#107

⇓

- He's bipolar? - Yeah.

#108

⇓

Does he take meds for it?

#109

⇓

I believe so. At least he did.

#110

⇓

Girls, it smells like sex and bengay in here.

#111

⇓

Lithium prescriptions aren't that common.

#112

⇓

I mean, I doubt he's making it. Maybe...

#113

⇓

I-If we look at the cabins and we...

#114

⇓

And then check the local pharmacies.

#115

⇓

Yeah.

#116

⇓

See who's handing out lithium.

#117

⇓

Nice one, hughie.

#118

⇓

We're gonna need more reefer.

#119

⇓

J” thought I might j“

#120

⇓

j” and I can't fight this feeling anymore j”

#121

⇓

hey. How you doing?

#122

⇓

Look, i-I'm sorry about all this.

#123

⇓

I wish I could say you get used to it, but you never do.

#124

⇓

So, where are they hiding?

#125

⇓

Butcher and soldier boy.

#126

⇓

Where are they?

#127

⇓

Wait, is...

#128

⇓

Is that concealer?

#129

⇓

Do you have a bruise?

#130

⇓

Yeah...

#131

⇓

Do you have any idea what you've set loose?

#132

⇓

Butcher has powers. I assume thanks to you.

#133

⇓

They've killed crimson countess

#134

⇓

and seven other heroes, Maeve, seven.

#135

⇓

The ones that-that survived are done, they're powerless.

#136

⇓

Soldier boy fried the v right out of their blood somehow.

#137

⇓

Maeve, do you understand, that could happen to any one of us.

#138

⇓

Yeah.

#139

⇓

That's the difference between you and me.

#140

⇓

You need to be a supe.

#141

⇓

I can't wait till it's over.

#142

⇓

Maeve...

#143

⇓

Why are you letting me live?

#144

⇓

Maeve.

#145

⇓

You know, back when things were, uh,

#146

⇓

better between us...

#147

⇓

I used to dream of having kids with you.

#148

⇓

- Oh. - No, I did.

#149

⇓

A family. Nesting, you know.

#150

⇓

I-I mean, can you imagine how perfect our kids would be?

#151

⇓

Sublime.

#152

⇓

Twice as strong as Ryan.

#153

⇓

No kid of mine would ever know a room like this, I'll tell you that.

#154

⇓

Just so you know,

#155

⇓

I'll fucking shatter whatever you try to stick up there.

#156

⇓

Maeve! Don't be so crass. We're not savages.

#157

⇓

I respect what you are, even if you don't.

#158

⇓

I would never force myself on you.

#159

⇓

But I am gonna harvest your eggs.

#160

⇓

That way, if, god forbid, you do die,

#161

⇓

whether by accident or choice,

#162

⇓

you'll die knowing that the very best of you carries on.

#163

⇓

With me.

#164

⇓

See, Maeve, I'm not letting you live.

#165

⇓

I'm keeping you alive.

#166

⇓

This is still a top-three day in my life.

#167

⇓

Because today is the day I saw you scared.

#168

⇓

The hell happened to you two?

#169

⇓

- It is but trivial. - Trivial, my ass.

#170

⇓

Y'all look like y'all got hit by a truck.

#171

⇓

Oh, my god, you shouldn't even be on your feet.

#172

⇓

Come here, come here. Come on.

#173

⇓

Yeah, um, we're just gonna go lie down for a minute.

#174

⇓

Okay? Come on.

#175

⇓

She insisted when you called, right?

#176

⇓

Butcher is everyone's problem now.

#177

⇓

We're here to help.

#178

⇓

Frenchie, are you high?

#179

⇓

Well, that goes without saying.

#180

⇓

Okay, satellite view has mindstorm's place about two miles in, due west.

#181

⇓

Two miles?

#182

⇓

Fuck me.

#183

⇓

We could've parked closer.

#184

⇓

So, do you mind telling us what we're walking into here?

#185

⇓

All you got to know is,

#186

⇓

if he tries to make eye contact with you, close your eyes.

#187

⇓

Or what?

#188

⇓

Just don't make eye contact with him, then you got nothing to worry about.

#189

⇓

Hey, why do you keep buying him, like, hefty bags full of weed?

#190

⇓

Better high than mental.

#191

⇓

Takes the edge off his PTSD.

#192

⇓

Wait, he has PTSD?

#193

⇓

Yeah, I saw it at herogasm.

#194

⇓

It's why he keeps blowing the fuck out of everything.

#195

⇓

We got to keep that cunt dozy as a lamb.

#196

⇓

So, just to recap, uh, he's radioactive,

#197

⇓

highly traumatized and heavily self-medicated.

#198

⇓

Feels good, feels right.

#199

⇓

Tell me about it.

#200

⇓

I mean, what sad bastard self-medicates like that, eh?

#201

⇓

Earving, sooner or later, you're gonna have to t-t-talk about it.

#202

⇓

Remember when you were nine,

#203

⇓

a-and you hid in that ball pit right over there,

#204

⇓

after you p-p-p-paralyzed Lewis frankel?

#205

⇓

This is just like that.

#206

⇓

You can't hide from soldier boy.

#207

⇓

We're your best pals, aren't we?

#208

⇓

We got you through that erection in the seventh grade,

#209

⇓

that hard rock cafe m-m-massacre in Lagos.

#210

⇓

And by golly, we'll get you through this, too.

#211

⇓

- That's right. - You're our friend.

#212

⇓

What'd you say?

#213

⇓

- W hat? - W hat?

#214

⇓

Nothing, mate. No one said nothing.

#215

⇓

Hey, hey. Uh, your... your brain's leaking.

#216

⇓

Oh, fuck.

#217

⇓

Oh, shit.

#218

⇓

What the fuck is this shite?

#219

⇓

Mum.

#220

⇓

Oi, mum.

#221

⇓

Fucking mindstorm.

#222

⇓

Knock it off, you little fucking freak. Come on.

#223

⇓

Butcher, wake up. Wake up!

#224

⇓

Fucking freak slipped away.

#225

⇓

- He's gonna pick us off one by one. - Butcher, wake up.

#226

⇓

Wake up, butcher. Butcher! Wake up!

#227

⇓

No, you're wasting your time, he's gone.

#228

⇓

- What did mindstorm do? - Well, if it's his usual mo,

#229

⇓

trapped him in an endless nightmare

#230

⇓

till he dies of terminal dehydration.

#231

⇓

No, there's got to be a way we can wake him up.

#232

⇓

Mindstorm put him into this. He can snap him out.

#233

⇓

- Okay, great, great. Uh... - But he's about to be dead.

#234

⇓

Wait, wait, just hang on. If we, if we, if we grab mindstorm,

#235

⇓

- we make him help butcher... - No way.

#236

⇓

And then you can kill him.

#237

⇓

Then you can go to town on him, man. I don't give a fuck.

#238

⇓

Hey. If you're gonna act hysterical, I'm gonna slap you like I'm Connery.

#239

⇓

Now, unless you want to end up like your friend there,

#240

⇓

it ain't worth the risk.

#241

⇓

Look, chin up, okay? Deal's a deal.

#242

⇓

You help me finish this, I'll kill homelander.

#243

⇓

Butcher would have given up his life for that in a heartbeat.

#244

⇓

So, we doing this or not?

#245

⇓

Leave it. We got to move fast.

#246

⇓

Do you hear that?

#247

⇓

Uh... You might want to lay off the weed, huh?

#248

⇓

And you might want to gargle my ball sack.

#249

⇓

Where is she?

#250

⇓

Lenny! Where the fuck's Lenny?

#251

⇓

Shit. Come on.

#252

⇓

Left his bloody bike in the garden again.

#253

⇓

Lenny!

#254

⇓

Lenny?

#255

⇓

Billy?

#256

⇓

Leave off 'em, you cunt.

#257

⇓

Gotcha.

#258

⇓

Come here. Come here.

#259

⇓

Come here.

#260

⇓

Where is he?

#261

⇓

Who?

#262

⇓

Don't fuck me about. Where is he?

#263

⇓

Fucking snotty little cunt.

#264

⇓

Lenny, i-it's okay.

#265

⇓

Jesus. I thought you quit.

#266

⇓

The lord hates quitters.

#267

⇓

Is that halothane?

#268

⇓

I chucked some at him at herogasm. The motherfucker didn't even flinch.

#269

⇓

It will be the greatest sorrow of my life that I missed herogasm.

#270

⇓

But no, this is not halothane.

#271

⇓

- You see the texture? - Mmm.

#272

⇓

- It's all wrong. - What is it, then?

#273

⇓

Well, let's find out.

#274

⇓

Okay.

#275

⇓

Okay.

#276

⇓

Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

#277

⇓

It's just, uh, UN peu kétamine.

#278

⇓

It's okay. You know, the...

#279

⇓

Frenchie, you're a fucking mess.

#280

⇓

Well, that makes two of us.

#281

⇓

-J' will and what will be j“ -okay, sorry.

#282

⇓

J" she's a maniac j“

#283

⇓

j" maniac on the floor... j“

#284

⇓

okay. Should be good.

#285

⇓

Is there anything else that you need? Are you hungry?

#286

⇓

J“ she's a maniac, maniac j“

#287

⇓

Oh. Kirkland.

#288

⇓

A fine choice. Yeah.

#289

⇓

Oh. When you grow up in Iowa, there is not much else to do.

#290

⇓

Here.

#291

⇓

Mmm.

#292

⇓

Ooh.

#293

⇓

When did you have your first drink?

#294

⇓

Right now?

#295

⇓

Oh, my god, wow.

#296

⇓

Okay, um...

#297

⇓

Okay, well, cheers to that.

#298

⇓

I tried.

#299

⇓

He doesn't want to be saved.

#300

⇓

With what?

#301

⇓

What about it?

#302

⇓

You want me to...

#303

⇓

Kimiko, uh, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Hang on.

#304

⇓

The...

#305

⇓

You know that I can't go to the tower.

#306

⇓

Even if I could, this would be such a bad idea.

#307

⇓

No, but you don't know if it'll do that again.

#308

⇓

I mean, you could get yourself killed.

#309

⇓

I won't do it. I'm sorry, I can't. I can't.

#310

⇓

Still can't believe this shit is legal.

#311

⇓

I locked up so many assholes for it back in the day.

#312

⇓

What the fuck did you say?

#313

⇓

Uh, uh, literally nothing.

#314

⇓

- Jesus. How hard? - What?

#315

⇓

How hard did butcher suck your dick that you miss him that much?

#316

⇓

Hmm? His mouth must feel like a hoover deluxe.

#317

⇓

God, every single thing you say is so gross.

#318

⇓

He saved me, okay?

#319

⇓

More than once.

#320

⇓

- So I owe him. - Oh, bullshit.

#321

⇓

You're on a mission. You get the job done.

#322

⇓

Okay? I stormed normandy.

#323

⇓

I fought the Nazis.

#324

⇓

You want to know what I do when I'm sad or scared?

#325

⇓

Fucking nothing.

#326

⇓

'Cause I'm not a fucking pussy.

#327

⇓

You didn't storm shit.

#328

⇓

Your whole Marlboro man act?

#329

⇓

It's fucking crap.

#330

⇓

And I... oh...

#331

⇓

I warned you.

#332

⇓

J“ saying I love you... j“

#333

⇓

Oh, hi.

#334

⇓

Babe.

#335

⇓

Why don't you put that work shit down, get that little butt over here.

#336

⇓

What is the occasion?

#337

⇓

Well, not a big deal.

#338

⇓

Just, uh, found out I'm gonna be on hannity tonight.

#339

⇓

- Hannity, babe. - You are?

#340

⇓

- Yeah. - Uh, when-when do you tape?

#341

⇓

- We need to prep. - No, no, no, no, babe. Don't worry.

#342

⇓

I got it. I got it. Trust me.

#343

⇓

- This is a big deal, Kevin. - I know.

#344

⇓

- Okay? So we need to go over everything. - Okay, hey.

#345

⇓

I got us this far, didn't I?

#346

⇓

Y-you got us this far?

#347

⇓

Just relax a little bit.

#348

⇓

Turn around.

#349

⇓

Come here. Just...

#350

⇓

- Get into the moment. - Okay.

#351

⇓

But listen, I've been wanting to talk to you about something.

#352

⇓

You know that I love you.

#353

⇓

- Mm-hmm. - And I know that you love me, too.

#354

⇓

But we both know that our marriage...

#355

⇓

Sex life has gotten a little vanilla.

#356

⇓

So maybe...

#357

⇓

It's time we branch out.

#358

⇓

- Branch out? - Yeah. Like, um,

#359

⇓

you know, uh, introduce a new partner.

#360

⇓

Just to spice things up a little bit.

#361

⇓

Well, is there anyone you had in mind?

#362

⇓

Well, I'd like to introduce you to someone.

#363

⇓

Oh. Okay.

#364

⇓

J“ then you couldn't make things new... j“

#365

⇓

babe, this is ambrosius.

#366

⇓

She's very pretty, and she thinks you're superhot.

#367

⇓

I, um...

#368

⇓

I don't want to, uh, do that.

#369

⇓

Cassandra, I need this.

#370

⇓

J“ more than words j“

#371

⇓

oh, fuck.

#372

⇓

Ooh.

#373

⇓

Hey there.

#374

⇓

Oh, Jesus Christ.

#375

⇓

Okay.

#376

⇓

Ambrosius says she wants to taste you.

#377

⇓

No. No. Okay, I can't. I'm out. I'm out. No.

#378

⇓

I'm-I'm done. I'm done.

#379

⇓

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Honey, are you okay? What's wrong?

#380

⇓

- You want me to fuck a-a fucking fish! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

#381

⇓

One, she's a mollusk.

#382

⇓

Two, she has feelings.

#383

⇓

It's okay.

#384

⇓

How long have you been fucking it behind my back?

#385

⇓

Okay, it's not an "it." It's a "her." Get your pronouns right.

#386

⇓

I have given up a year of my life for you.

#387

⇓

I gave up my tenure at vassar.

#388

⇓

I-I propped you up.

#389

⇓

I've steered your comeback. And this?

#390

⇓

This is how you repay me?

#391

⇓

You propped me up, huh? Right, you wrote a few lines.

#392

⇓

- I'm the one who had to fucking sell it. - Okay.

#393

⇓

Okay, let's, um...

#394

⇓

Let's see how well you do without me.

#395

⇓

I'll be great without you.

#396

⇓

Without you over-noting me all the fucking time.

#397

⇓

You're an idiot, Kevin.

#398

⇓

Then why did Dave eggers say I have a formidable intellect, huh?

#399

⇓

Formidable intellect!

#400

⇓

God. No, she's...

#401

⇓

She just needs time to cool off, babe.

#402

⇓

Come on, earving.

#403

⇓

Me and the others have something to sh-sh-sh-show you.

#404

⇓

C-c-c-come on!

#405

⇓

Something you pushed d-d-d-deep, deep down.

#406

⇓

Lighten up, gunpowder. I'm just playing ar...

#407

⇓

You fucking pussy.

#408

⇓

You're late. We started at 3:00.

#409

⇓

I really wanted that movie.

#410

⇓

- The hell are you talking about? - I just got off the phone with my manager.

#411

⇓

It's a no-go on Beverly Hills cop.

#412

⇓

- Oh. That. - I was...

#413

⇓

I was born to play Axel Foley.

#414

⇓

Why would you say all those horrible things about me

#415

⇓

to Don Simpson?

#416

⇓

- Jesus, Ben, really? - Zip it, cooze.

#417

⇓

The guy's supposed to be funny.

#418

⇓

You're not funny.

#419

⇓

- Well, I could've been. - You're not good enough.

#420

⇓

Now shut your cockhole and get to work.

#421

⇓

But-but wait.

#422

⇓

- Stop it! - Take it easy.

#423

⇓

- Stop it. You're hurting him. - Take it easy. Calm down.

#424

⇓

- For god's sake, dude. - Take it easy. Take it easy.

#425

⇓

- Guys. Guys, leave him, leave him alone. - Don'...Get off.

#426

⇓

- Get him off him. - That's enough.

#427

⇓

- Get off of him. - That's enough!

#428

⇓

- Hey, now. - Come on. That's enough!

#429

⇓

Which one of you wants next? Huh?

#430

⇓

Thought so.

#431

⇓

You think you can be me?

#432

⇓

You're not a movie star.

#433

⇓

You're not shit.

#434

⇓

I see you getting out of line again, trying to move on up,

#435

⇓

I will put you in the fucking ground. Understood?

#436

⇓

Please don't tell my old man.

#437

⇓

You were selling marijuana, William.

#438

⇓

You know I have to tell him.

#439

⇓

And we both know your dad.

#440

⇓

You're a smart boy.

#441

⇓

I'd just hate for you to... Turn out like him.

#442

⇓

- Fucking snotty little cunt! - Please stop! Please!

#443

⇓

Butch, what are you doing? Stop!

#444

⇓

Fuck, Lenny. I-I didn't mean to. I...

#445

⇓

I-I'm-I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry.

#446

⇓

I'm sorry.

#447

⇓

The world's an ocean of shite, lads.

#448

⇓

- You either sink... - Or you swim.

#449

⇓

Today, Billy, my boy, you swam.

#450

⇓

Some cunts need a slap.

#451

⇓

Don't they?

#452

⇓

Here.

#453

⇓

Oi. You ought to take a page out of his book.

#454

⇓

You don't want to be a fucking little poof all your life.

#455

⇓

Don't you listen to him.

#456

⇓

Don't you listen to that worthless lump of shite.

#457

⇓

Not a bleeding word.

#458

⇓

Maybe we should walk back to that town we saw.

#459

⇓

It was five miles away. It'll take forever to get there.

#460

⇓

We're never gonna get to the retreat now.

#461

⇓

Oh! Oh, you startled me.

#462

⇓

Son, are-are you a superhero?

#463

⇓

Yes, father. You folks need some help?

#464

⇓

- Yes. Yes, please. - Okay, well, it's not safe.

#465

⇓

There's a fugitive in the area.

#466

⇓

You should get out of here before you get hurt.

#467

⇓

Uh, well, we can't.

#468

⇓

I don't suppose either of you know engines?

#469

⇓

I'll have a look.

#470

⇓

Oh, I'd appreciate that very much.

#471

⇓

Uh, so, where you guys headed?

#472

⇓

We're just on our way to a samaritan's embrace retreat

#473

⇓

over there in danville.

#474

⇓

Oh! Oh, my god!

#475

⇓

Oh, my god! What the fuck?

#476

⇓

This is mindstorm's mo. He brainwashed them.

#477

⇓

That priest was gonna shank us. And she will, too.

#478

⇓

- Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Father Wallace, no!

#479

⇓

Hey, hey, she doesn't look brainwashed to me.

#480

⇓

Take my word for it. Everyone's coming for us.

#481

⇓

- Everyone, every day. - Whoa, no! No, no!

#482

⇓

You have PTSD!

#483

⇓

You have PTSD, and you are super fucking stoned.

#484

⇓

All right? Maybe this isn't what you think it is.

#485

⇓

- Move. Move! - She's a human being. A nun.

#486

⇓

And if there's one thing I know...

#487

⇓

Die, you fucking cocksuckers!

#488

⇓

Oh, my god! Do something!

#489

⇓

- If you stay still, I... - Fuck you! Get her off me!

#490

⇓

Oh! Fuck me!

#491

⇓

No! Hard pass on this exorcist shit!

#492

⇓

What's black and white and red all over?

#493

⇓

Okay, first off, I don't have shell shock. Fuck you.

#494

⇓

Second, this is what I'm talking about.

#495

⇓

This is being a soldier.

#496

⇓

Come on.

#497

⇓

It's been five days, and still nothing but lies from vought.

#498

⇓

Soldier boy is still out there,

#499

⇓

and Maeve is still missing. And you know what?

#500

⇓

More people are just going to die until they admit to what's going on.

#501

⇓

So, I guess you've all heard about starlight's

#502

⇓

"alleged" involvement with a human trafficking ring?

#503

⇓

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

#504

⇓

And I suppose it's "pure coincidence"

#505

⇓

that, uh, she opened starlight house for runaway teens.

#506

⇓

Huh? Come on, we can put two and two together, can't we?

#507

⇓

What the holy fuck does he think he's doing?

#508

⇓

Those poor kids.

#509

⇓

They pass through her doors, they disappear.

#510

⇓

They are never seen again. It's horrific.

#511

⇓

But we got to face the truth, people, no matter how ugly it is.

#512

⇓

Starlight is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

#513

⇓

Plain and simple. She fooled me.

#514

⇓

She fooled you. She fooled all of us.

#515

⇓

Right? Now she wants to take me down. Why?

#516

⇓

Because with me out of the way, there is no one who can stop her.

#517

⇓

No one, and she knows it.

#518

⇓

- No chance. - Exactly.

#519

⇓

Do you think the media, our buddies over here...

#520

⇓

Do you think the media is gonna report on that?

#521

⇓

No, no, no, no, no. Of course not.

#522

⇓

Ah. Tell you what. You guys, love you!

#523

⇓

All right!

#524

⇓

And vote for Bob singer. He's, uh, he's... great.

#525

⇓

Let's hear it for homelander.

#526

⇓

J“ ah j“

#527

⇓

j“ now I don't hardly know her j“

#528

⇓

j“ crimson and clover j“

#529

⇓

j'ahj'

#530

⇓

j“ I wish she 'd come walking over j“

#531

⇓

j“ now I've been waiting to show j“

#532

⇓

skip breakfast, did we?

#533

⇓

Nope.

#534

⇓

Nope. Uh...

#535

⇓

She's in pain, so I tried to help.

#536

⇓

Look, I'm gonna tell you the truth here because no one else will.

#537

⇓

Pull your shit together, admit it's soldier boy

#538

⇓

and take control of the situation.

#539

⇓

You think, uh, I'm not in control?

#540

⇓

No. I think you just spent the last 20 minutes ranting about starlight

#541

⇓

instead of talking up the next president of the United States.

#542

⇓

You're homelander. Button your shit up. You're flailing.

#543

⇓

This whole fucking scene right here. Jesus Christ...

#544

⇓

Oh, I'm sorry.

#545

⇓

Go on, please.

#546

⇓

You need someone you can trust.

#547

⇓

- Someone like you? - I got rid of Edgar for you.

#548

⇓

That cost me a lot.

#549

⇓

I'm proposing a strictly transactional relationship.

#550

⇓

You help me out with one small favor,

#551

⇓

and I help you.

#552

⇓

Where did you get this?

#553

⇓

You're awake. Fantastic.

#554

⇓

What happened?

#555

⇓

Pretty fucking nuts, man.

#556

⇓

I mean, how soldier boy attacked you and blue hawk at herogasm.

#557

⇓

Yeah.

#558

⇓

Soldier boy murdered blue hawk right in front of you.

#559

⇓

You tried to save blue hawk, of course, but...

#560

⇓

Must've been awful for you.

#561

⇓

Yeah.

#562

⇓

It seemed like you two were on your way to a healing place,

#563

⇓

which is why you're gonna love this.

#564

⇓

Blue hawk will live on because we gave you his heart.

#565

⇓

A super-abled heart.

#566

⇓

No more heart disease.

#567

⇓

You're gonna get to run again.

#568

⇓

Can I get a "what-what"?

#569

⇓

Look, you'll need insane amounts of rehab, but luckily, you heal fast, bro.

#570

⇓

That's...

#571

⇓

We're gonna get you back in your old suit.

#572

⇓

We're gonna get you out there asap.

#573

⇓

You're okay talking shit about starlight?

#574

⇓

- Yeah, sure. Why? - Oh, amazing.

#575

⇓

Oh, my god, I almost forgot.

#576

⇓

We are already working on your new movie.

#577

⇓

Training a-train.

#578

⇓

Gritty biopic.

#579

⇓

You're a roughneck gangbanger from the south side slanging that yayo

#580

⇓

when a track coach... We're thinking Tom Hanks...

#581

⇓

Teaches you a more civilized way.

#582

⇓

That's not at all how that happened.

#583

⇓

My brother's my coach.

#584

⇓

We're out to sir Julian fellowes to write, so...

#585

⇓

- No. I'm not doing that. - You're gonna love it.

#586

⇓

Anyway, I got to bounce. But the a-train's back, baby!

#587

⇓

- Right? - Uh...

#588

⇓

That's your...

#589

⇓

Okay.

#590

⇓

Senator bishop, will you confirm you're about to join the ticket

#591

⇓

as the vice presidential candidate?

#592

⇓

Well, if! Was lucky enough to be so honored, you'll be the first to know.

#593

⇓

And now, if you will all excuse us,

#594

⇓

I want to get a deep-fried twinkie before my wife finds out.

#595

⇓

It's not a gas.

#596

⇓

- W hat? - It's vapor.

#597

⇓

Vapor. Vapor. Just a delivery system.

#598

⇓

- This. - You think I can read this shit?

#599

⇓

Novichok.

#600

⇓

Russian nerve agent.

#601

⇓

Expose you or moi to novichok, our nervous system shuts down.

#602

⇓

Multiple organs fail. Painful death.

#603

⇓

But for soldier boy, it's a nap.

#604

⇓

All right. So where can we get some?

#605

⇓

Another vacation to Russia?

#606

⇓

Motherfucker.

#607

⇓

Huh? Qu'est-ce que c'est?

#608

⇓

No clue.

#609

⇓

You're still hurt.

#610

⇓

I'm still high.

#611

⇓

J“ stars shining bright above you j“

#612

⇓

j“ night breezes j“

#613

⇓

j“ seem to whisper "I love you" j“

#614

⇓

j“ birds singing in a sycamore tree j“

#615

⇓

j“ dream a little dream of me j“

#616

⇓

j“ say nighty night and kiss me j“

#617

⇓

j“ just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me j“

#618

⇓

j“ while I'm alone and blue as can be j“

#619

⇓

none taken.

#620

⇓

J“ dream a little dream of me j“

#621

⇓

j“ stars fading j“

#622

⇓

j“ but I linger on, dear j“

#623

⇓

j“ still craving your kiss j“

#624

⇓

j“ I'm longing j“

#625

⇓

what do you mean?

#626

⇓

J“ to linger till dawn, dearj“

#627

⇓

j“ just saying this... j“

#628

⇓

why? This is everything you said you did not want.

#629

⇓

No. Listen to me. Listen to me.

#630

⇓

You can walk away. You and me.

#631

⇓

We go together to Marseille.

#632

⇓

Your freedom, your humanité.

#633

⇓

You have it. Mon coeur, please.

#634

⇓

Si! Te plait, don't do this.

#635

⇓

"Annie.

#636

⇓

I know I'm asking a lot.

#637

⇓

At first I hated the v because I didn't choose it.

#638

⇓

But now it's my choice.

#639

⇓

I think that matters.

#640

⇓

I blamed my powers for my problems.

#641

⇓

But it's not true.

#642

⇓

The v isn't good or bad.

#643

⇓

It just depends on the person using it.

#644

⇓

I wanted to use my powers to do good.

#645

⇓

To fight for the ones I love.

#646

⇓

I almost lost frenchie because I couldn't fight.

#647

⇓

I can't risk that again."

#648

⇓

Oui.

#649

⇓

Oh, my god.

#650

⇓

Jesus Christ.

#651

⇓

By 1984, things had gotten so bad.

#652

⇓

There was only so much m-m-more

#653

⇓

of soldier boy's abuse you could take.

#654

⇓

So when st-st-Stan Edgar made you an offer in Nicaragua,

#655

⇓

you jumped at it.

#656

⇓

Vought's really okay with this?

#657

⇓

Sometimes, old soldiers just fade away.

#658

⇓

I don't want the details.

#659

⇓

- Just do what you need to do. - Why now?

#660

⇓

Vogelbaum has a replacement.

#661

⇓

Just a child,

#662

⇓

but they're convinced he'll be stronger than soldier boy.

#663

⇓

And he can fly.

#664

⇓

- Will the others go along? - Everyone but gunpowder.

#665

⇓

Good luck, earving.

#666

⇓

Can you please stop eating those in front of me? I'm allergic.

#667

⇓

What the fuck is this?

#668

⇓

Something we should've done a long time ago, you piece of shit.

#669

⇓

Tnt detonate!

#670

⇓

Hold him down.

#671

⇓

Fucking piece of shit.

#672

⇓

Get him, mindstorm.

#673

⇓

- Scramble his fucking brains. - No!

#674

⇓

Fuck you, motherfucker.

#675

⇓

This is some tough stuff, I know.

#676

⇓

But when you gave him to the Russians,

#677

⇓

you knew soldier boy would come back one day.

#678

⇓

You need to f-f-f-face him.

#679

⇓

No one really knows you.

#680

⇓

But we know how s-sensitive

#681

⇓

- and s-s-scared you are. - Yes.

#682

⇓

- Hey, we got your back. - We're here for you.

#683

⇓

It's okay.

#684

⇓

Bravery isn't having no fear.

#685

⇓

Bravery is having fear,

#686

⇓

but you d-d-d-do it anyway.

#687

⇓

Time to finish what you started.

#688

⇓

- Get the fuck out the car. - What's wrong?

#689

⇓

You heard me.

#690

⇓

- Daddy? - Hey, baby.

#691

⇓

I need you to go inside the house with your mama.

#692

⇓

Daddy needs to talk to Todd alone.

#693

⇓

- Okay. - All right.

#694

⇓

- Marvin, what are you doing here? - You're okay with this?

#695

⇓

- What? - He took her

#696

⇓

- to a homelander rally. - Yeah, so?

#697

⇓

Excuse me. You took her where?

#698

⇓

- It's fine. - No, it is not fine. You didn't ask me.

#699

⇓

Janine. Come on. Inside, honey.

#700

⇓

Everything's fine. Just relax.

#701

⇓

Don't tell me to relax, Todd.

#702

⇓

Soldier boy is out there gunning for homelander.

#703

⇓

Do you have any idea

#704

⇓

what kind of danger you put my baby girl in?

#705

⇓

There's no danger.

#706

⇓

Starlight is making all that up.

#707

⇓

Read any news outside the establishment media.

#708

⇓

Todd, Todd, they're lying.

#709

⇓

- Really? All of them? - All of them.

#710

⇓

Homelander is lying to you.

#711

⇓

- He's a fucking psychopath. - Worse than starlight?

#712

⇓

She's trafficking kids the same age as Janine,

#713

⇓

as the... as the kids in my classroom.

#714

⇓

Homelander is the only one protecting them.

#715

⇓

Okay, you guys. That's enough.

#716

⇓

Homelander ain't protecting shit, all right?

#717

⇓

He's feeding you this insane fairy tale,

#718

⇓

and you're too fucking stupid and-and brainwashed to fucking see it!

#719

⇓

- Hey, fuck you. - Both of you, stop.

#720

⇓

You know what?

#721

⇓

If you want to risk your life, fine. Have at it.

#722

⇓

But not with my baby girl.

#723

⇓

You're not her father.

#724

⇓

Someone's got to be.

#725

⇓

.Marvin!

#726

⇓

Oh, my god, Todd.

#727

⇓

Todd. Oh, my god, Todd.

#728

⇓

Todd. Todd. Open your eyes. Wake up.

#729

⇓

Here she is.

#730

⇓

Did you think I wouldn't know the second you walked through the door?

#731

⇓

Well, we broke up.

#732

⇓

It was time to pack my shit and go.

#733

⇓

Okay.

#734

⇓

So, here's what happens now.

#735

⇓

You're gonna march into vnn studios,

#736

⇓

and you're gonna recant everything you said.

#737

⇓

It was a tragic cocktail of heartbreak, Zoloft and despair.

#738

⇓

You regret any harm that your lies have caused vought or me,

#739

⇓

but me in particular.

#740

⇓

- Mmm. Okay. - Good.

#741

⇓

Okay. But, um, you want to hear my counter?

#742

⇓

I stop soldier boy before he murders more people,

#743

⇓

and I find Maeve.

#744

⇓

If she's still alive.

#745

⇓

Maeve's just learning her manners.

#746

⇓

And you should do the same.

#747

⇓

Seriously, before you throw away everything you've worked so hard for.

#748

⇓

- Hmm? - You know what? I could give a shit.

#749

⇓

Really? You sure about that?

#750

⇓

Your fame is the only thing protecting you.

#751

⇓

Here's the thing.

#752

⇓

I'm not scared of you anymore.

#753

⇓

I'm not. I see who you are.

#754

⇓

I see how small you are.

#755

⇓

I saw it.

#756

⇓

I saw it the night that you killed supersonic.

#757

⇓

You know what I remember from that night?

#758

⇓

I remember what I told you would happen to hughie.

You walk, that's next.

#760

⇓

Good luck with that.

#761

⇓

Now that you've told my 190 million followers.

#762

⇓

I'm still pretty famous.

#763

⇓

Hey, everybody!

#764

⇓

Oh, that's me.

#765

⇓

I got to go.

#766

⇓

Starlight, uh, wait.

#767

⇓

You're not supposed to record us when we're running lines.

#768

⇓

Shit!

#769

⇓

- What the hell? - Okay, wait! Wait.

#770

⇓

- Why the fuck am I naked? - I can explain, okay?

#771

⇓

You're with soldier boy.

#772

⇓

- You're trying to fucking kill me. - No!

#773

⇓

- No. No, I just saved your life. - Leave me alone!

#774

⇓

Please, calm down. I only want to talk, okay? Just talk.

#775

⇓

I'm not bothering anyone.

#776

⇓

I'm just trying to get away from all the fucking voices.

#777

⇓

I'm just trying to get away from the voices.

#778

⇓

I'm just trying to get away from the voices!

#779

⇓

Hey, hey. I'm gonna open my eyes, all right?

#780

⇓

Please don't coma me.

#781

⇓

Okay. Hey. We're cool.

#782

⇓

Very chill. Very cool.

#783

⇓

Also, we-we don't have to do this naked.

#784

⇓

All right?

#785

⇓

Just-just clothes. They're clothes.

#786

⇓

I'm gonna reach in. I'm gonna grab you some, okay?

#787

⇓

Look. Look, hey, I don't want to be here.

#788

⇓

H was pretending to be someone I'm not.

#789

⇓

I'm not like soldier boy. That guy's full of shit.

#790

⇓

I mean, no one is that tough, and then...

#791

⇓

And the people who say they are? They're lying.

#792

⇓

And I'm... I'm done.

#793

⇓

I want to go home.

#794

⇓

So, I'm just... I'm begging you...

#795

⇓

To please wake up my friend.

#796

⇓

I've been inside his head.

#797

⇓

- That guy's a piece of shit. - It doesn't matter.

#798

⇓

I-I don't want to be someone who leaves people behind.

#799

⇓

I want to be someone who saves his family.

#800

⇓

And for better or worse...

#801

⇓

He's family.

#802

⇓

- Please wake him up. - No.

#803

⇓

- No way. - I can get you out of here.

#804

⇓

If you just please, please wake him up,

#805

⇓

I'll teleport you away.

#806

⇓

You'll be safe away from everyone, including soldier boy.

#807

⇓

I'll take you wherever you want to go.

#808

⇓

And I will never tell a soul where that is.

#809

⇓

Hand to god.

#810

⇓

No. Not here.

#811

⇓

So, that's it then, Billy?

#812

⇓

Jesus, Lenny.

#813

⇓

Just gonna piss off, no goodbye or nothing like that?

#814

⇓

I'll be back Christmas, once I got everything sorted at the barracks,

#815

⇓

you can maybe come out and see me.

#816

⇓

Billy. Please don't leave me alone with him.

#817

⇓

I can't hack it.

#818

⇓

You'll be all right.

#819

⇓

No, he won't. Fucking listen to him.

#820

⇓

If I stay, I'm gonna end up killing him,

#821

⇓

get sent off to borstal, or prison,

#822

⇓

and what's that gonna do to mum, hmm?

#823

⇓

Break her bloody heart, is what it'd do.

#824

⇓

Besides, the old cunt hates me the most,

#825

⇓

so maybe if I'm gone, he'll leave you be.

#826

⇓

You stupid fucking twat. Don't you leave him.

#827

⇓

I got to go, len.

#828

⇓

- Billy, please. - Leave off.

#829

⇓

For fuck's sake, Lenny, it ain't my job to look after you.

#830

⇓

Don't be such a fucking poof all your life.

#831

⇓

Right.

#832

⇓

Please, don't go.

#833

⇓

You served me up to him on a plate.

#834

⇓

No, I... I didn't.

#835

⇓

I-I wouldn't.

#836

⇓

It's been six months, and you come home to check on me

#837

⇓

not once.

#838

⇓

Len, i-I'm sorry, but they...

#839

⇓

They just wouldn't let me out of the barracks.

#840

⇓

Oh, Jesus, please. Please, fuck, no.

#841

⇓

He's beating the living shit out of me, Billy.

#842

⇓

Day in and day out.

#843

⇓

- I can't take no more. - Please, len, don't.

#844

⇓

You fucking knew what he'd do. It's your fault.

#845

⇓

No, don't say that. That's... that's not true.

#846

⇓

I... I'm not that bastard.

#847

⇓

Come off it, Billy. You always have been.

#848

⇓

'Cause anyone who's ever loved you, you end up getting them killed, don't you?

#849

⇓

Me. Becca.

#850

⇓

Now, hughie,

#851

⇓

the last person on god's green earth

#852

⇓

trying to stop you from being a monster, and what do you do?

#853

⇓

Drag him down to your level.

#854

⇓

When he dies, and he will,

#855

⇓

then no one can stop you.

#856

⇓

Can they?

#857

⇓

No!

#858

⇓

-Lenny, no! {Gunshofl

#859

⇓

I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry!

#860

⇓

Sorry for what?

#861

⇓

- Hughie. - It's okay, butcher.

#862

⇓

It's okay. You're all right.

#863

⇓

Here. You're okay.

#864

⇓

Hey, kid.

#865

⇓

Right, right, yeah.

#866

⇓

Okay. Deal's a deal.

#867

⇓

Where we headed?

#868

⇓

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

#869

⇓

Hiya, Dan.

#870

⇓

It's-it's not what you think. It wasn't my idea.

#871

⇓

Oh, I know. It was noir's, but how does that work, huh?

#872

⇓

'Cause no way he makes a fucking move without vought.

#873

⇓

- They gave him the green light. - Why would they do that?

#874

⇓

What? That's impossible.

#875

⇓

What'd he say?

#876

⇓

Hello?

#877

⇓

- I need to talk to hughie. Where is he? - Oh, starlight.

#878

⇓

How delightful.

#879

⇓

He's just popped out for a bit.

#880

⇓

Okay, well, he's not answering his phone.

#881

⇓

Bit hard to keep a phone when you're teleporting all day, innit, love?

#882

⇓

- How can I help? - Temp v is gonna kill you both.

#883

⇓

Well, it's gonna have to join the queue.

#884

⇓

I was just in the lab. It causes lesions.

#885

⇓

Okay? It turns your brain into fucking Swiss cheese,

#886

⇓

so, please, be honest with me,

#887

⇓

and tell me how many doses have you taken?

#888

⇓

- Just a couple. - Jesus Christ.

#889

⇓

Butcher, three to five doses kills you.

#890

⇓

You need to tell hughie.

#891

⇓

Yeah, yeah. I will, I will. I promise.

#892

⇓

Okay, but I'm calling back every five minutes until...

#893

⇓

Butcher?

#894

⇓

Goddamn it.

#895

⇓

Okay.

#896

⇓

Hi. Only thing open was long John silver's,

#897

⇓

#898

⇓

Yeah.

#899

⇓

- Nice one. - Everything all right?

#900

⇓

It's, uh...

#901

⇓

- It's the temp v. - What about it?

#902

⇓

We got to swing by the office and get some more.

#903

⇓

And then you, me,

#904

⇓

#905

⇓

Yeah, fuck yeah.

#906

⇓

- Your call has been fon/varded... - Fuck.

#907

⇓

Do you think monsieur charcutier will tell hughie?

#908

⇓

Do you?

#909

⇓

I'm gonna save hughie,

#910

⇓

even if he doesn't want me to.

#911

⇓

Ready, mon coeur?

#912

⇓

Enjoy them

#913

⇓

before they feel like bendy straws again.

#914

⇓

Mon coeur?

#915

⇓

Obviously, I didn't realize the little bitch was recording me, did I?

#916

⇓

No, no. A...

#917

⇓

Ashley, I don't fucking care.

#918

⇓

You're the spin doctor, go fucking spin it.

#919

⇓

What?

#920

⇓

Sir, I apologize for disturbing you...

#921

⇓

But you have a call.

#922

⇓

He says he's... Well, he's claiming to be soldier boy.

#923

⇓

Put him through.

#924

⇓

This really you?

#925

⇓

The situation's changed.

#926

⇓

I thought we should have a conversation.

#927

⇓

I don't know who the fuck you think you are,

#928

⇓

but you got lucky once because you fucking ambushed me.

#929

⇓

Fall 1980,

#930

⇓

I get called into vogelbaum's lab for an experiment,

#931

⇓

some shit about genetics.

#932

⇓

I still remember the penthouse I used.

#933

⇓

June.

#934

⇓

Danielle deneux, bush like a pomeranian.

#935

⇓

- What? - I beat my meat into a cup.

#936

⇓

Turns out...

#937

⇓

Vogelbaum made a kid.

#938

⇓

Born spring 1981.

#939

⇓

A boy.

#940

⇓

You know what the bitch of it is?

#941

⇓

If they'd have just kept me around, I 'd have let you take the spotlight.

#942

⇓

What father wouldn't want that for his son?
