Welcome to Godolkin University.

[Cardosa] The virus only affects Supes.

It attaches to the Compound V in their blood.

Concentrate the dose. Let's see how sick we can make her.

No, I'm telling you. I feel great.

Are you absolutely sure I had a stroke?

#56

-Yes. -What's the last thing you remember?

#57

⇓

Let me see... I was at Smart & Final, I was buying a family pack of pizza rolls.

#58

⇓

They didn't have pepperoni, so I had to get supreme.

#59

-Or was it Triple Meat? -Dad.

#60

No, it was supreme.

Okay? Mom and I are gonna go find you a Diet Snapple.

You gave him the V?

Yeah. I thought that's what you wanted.

#71

⇓

It fell out of your coat. I don't understand.

#72

⇓

Why did you bring it if you didn't want to use it?

#73

Look, I wanted to. I...

#74

⇓

I did. But then I didn't.

#75

⇓

Okay? It's just that I've...

#76

I've seen that shit go wrong so many times.

#77

Well, it's got to go right sometimes, right?

#78

I mean, otherwise there wouldn't be any Supes.

[TV announcer] Tonight, on Vought's Funniest Pet Attacks...

[Hugh Sr. laughs]

#82

Well, um...

#83

You grew up without one parent.

#84

⇓

I just couldn't bear

#85

⇓

the thought of you losing another one.

#86

⇓

[whispers] Sorry.

#87

⇓

Guess Starlight can't decide whether to rape a baby or kill it.

#88

⇓

Well, I am pressing charges for assault, and that's for damn sure.

#89

⇓

And even though the police say she had an "alibi,"

#90

⇓

we all know she had something to do with Ezekiel's murder.

#91

⇓

This is a biblical war of good versus evil, folks.

#92

⇓

And I'm declaring hunting season on Starlighters.

#93

⇓

Now, on the subject of baby-killers, let's welcome our guest

#94

⇓

Dr. Dorian Boone.

#95

⇓

Dr. Boone, what'd Starlight's baby feel when she murdered it?

#96

⇓

[Boone] There was a study done at Samaritan's Embrace University

#97

⇓

on ferrets which proves unborn babies feel pain

#98

⇓

as early as conception.

#99

[Monique] What am I

#100

supposed to do with her home for two weeks, Marvin?

#101

⇓

I have a job.

#102

-So do I. -And the boy needed stitches,

#103

⇓

which you can be sure we're going to get the bill for.

#104

⇓

Suspended for fighting, baby? This ain't like you.

#105

⇓

-Dad, I-- -Uh-uh.

#106

⇓

What were you thinking?

#107

⇓

He said Homelander's a hero, so I told him the truth.

#108

⇓

Then he told me to f-word off, so I hit him!

#109

⇓

Baby, fighting is not how you solve problems.

#110

Why not? That's what you do.

Well, I mean, I was thinking we could meet in your mom's pussy,

⇓

but, you know, I wanted someplace more private.

#124

⇓

[chuckles softly]

#125

⇓

-So, what you thinking? -Butcher, listen.

#126

⇓

How about we do this job,

#127

just you and me?

#128

⇓

I don't know, Joe. It's a bit all of a sudden, isn't it?

Billy...

M.M.'s on the verge of a breakdown,

#133

⇓

Frenchie's a fucking junkie, Hughie is a gaping wet pussy.

#134

⇓

And the two Supes on your side?

#135

⇓

Man, for whatever reason, you have a blind spot for them.

#136

⇓

All right, I'll give you Starlight.

#137

⇓

But Kimiko's a bloody good weapon,

#138

⇓

and the rest of them are still up to scratch.

#139

⇓

Well, I don't get you. I don't.

#140

⇓

Half your brain is a fucking tumor.

#141

⇓

This is your last shot at Homelander, and now you decide to go soft?

#142

Yeah, they are decent people, but you and me,

#143

⇓

we don't belong with decent.

#159

What's with all the long faces?

[Annie] I don't know, maybe because

#161

⇓

I'm getting blamed for the murder you did.

#162

⇓

I'd call you a cunt, but you ain't got the depth or the warmth.

#163

⇓

I've been meaning to ask you something.

#164

⇓

How was it that you took out Ezekiel?

#165

⇓

I have no idea.

#166

⇓

-Bullshit. -God's honest. I, uh...

#167

⇓

blacked out, came to, and there he was.

#168

⇓

All over the shop.

#169

⇓

But never mind that bollocks because, my son,

#170

⇓

I have found it-- the answer to all our prayers.

#171

⇓

-And what might that be? -Ah, it's nothing much.

#172

⇓

Just a... a virus that kills Supes. [slurps]

#173

⇓

-Such a thing does not exist. -Did not exist. Does now.

#174

⇓

You see, some clever cunts

#175

⇓

over at Godolkin University cooked up a bug

#176

⇓

that latches onto the V in their bloodstream.

#177

⇓

Now, it's completely harmless to humans,

#178

⇓

but to Supes?

#179

⇓

Fucking diabolical.

#180

⇓

So, you shove this shit into me and Kimiko and we just...

#181

⇓

drop dead?

#182

⇓

Yep. That's the idea. [slurps]

#183

⇓

Now, it ain't juiced enough to kill Homelander.

#184

⇓

But I reckon we get our hands on some

#185

⇓

and try it out on our lovely V.P. elect.

#186

⇓

And why the hell are we just finding out about this shit, Butcher?

#187

⇓

There's only one small snag.

#188

⇓

When I went to God U to nick it,

#189

⇓

Neuman had pipped me to the post, so we're gonna have to nick it from her.

#190

⇓

This is insane and desperate. Even for you.

#191

Well, insanely desperate's where we are, don't you think, love?

#192

[Mother's Milk] Okay. All right, all right. Time out.

You've put yourself and Zoe in terrible danger.

#525

⇓

No. You put me and Zoe in terrible danger.

#526

⇓

You used me like you use everybody else. Somebody had to protect her.

#527

⇓

You mean shooting her up with Compound V.

#528

⇓

You took a bright-eyed little girl,

#529

⇓

-and you turned her into a-- -Into a what?

#530

⇓

A monster?

#531

⇓

Is that why you had me hide what I was?

#532

⇓

Stick to the shadows, never reach too high?

#533

⇓

-That was to protect you. -No,

#534

⇓

that was because you were ashamed of me.

#535

My daughter will never have to live like that.

So, what's gonna happen when we find the virus and this little truce is over?

I'm sorry. This wasn't how I was planning to tell you,

#584

but, um, this isn't working out for me anymore.

#585

I mean, it was one thing when you were really in charge around here,

But, uh, I hope we can still be friends.

#592

Hmm. Is this your angry look, or did Starlight fuck up your face?

#593

⇓

You know, if you weren't Homelander's right-hand bitch,

#594

⇓

I'd take you out behind the woodshed and whup your ass.

#595

Mm, sounds on-brand.

Which'll take forever 'cause I don't need to come up for air.

#760

⇓

I can just breathe right through her juices.

#761

⇓

Enough.

#762

⇓

I know about your little closeted eight-armed hand job machine.

#763

⇓

I could cut a package together, have it on the air by tonight.

#764

⇓

-You wouldn't. -Watch me.

#765

⇓

So try and keep it classy, okay?

#766

⇓

[Cate] ...starring together in a hilarious new comedy, Flipped.

#767

⇓

I'm a stuck-up sorority girl,

#768

⇓

he's a nerd,

#769

⇓

but when a gypsy swaps our bodies...

#770

⇓

So, what do you want to do?

#771

⇓

We could go get some Nathan's Famous.

#772

⇓

[chuckles] No, I mean a little more boldly.

#773

⇓

I mean, like, big picture.

#774

⇓

What do you... want to do?

#775

⇓

You're gonna laugh at me.

#776

⇓

Mm-mm. No, I won't.

#777

⇓

I kind of want to help people.

#778

⇓

But not like with fake saves,

#779

⇓

like really help.

#780

⇓

It's what my mom would want.

#781

⇓

That's... amazing.

#782

⇓

That's great.

#783

⇓

[indistinct chatter]

#784

⇓

You want to help her?

#785

⇓

-Hmm? Yeah? -Yeah.

#786

⇓

-But, I mean-- -Great.

#787

⇓

Hey, Adam,

#788

⇓

will you send that lovely young lady over here, please?

#789

⇓

And you come, too.

#790

⇓

[Ryan] Um...

#791

⇓

...is he making you uncomfortable?

#792

⇓

-Uh... -No, you can tell me.

#793

⇓

You won't get in trouble.

#794

⇓

Um...

#795

⇓

Kind of.

#796

⇓

Yeah.

#797

⇓

[Homelander] Ryan?

#798

⇓

What do you think?

#799

⇓

Adam, I think you should apologize.

#800

⇓

Uh, I'm sorry if I was inappropriate.

#801

⇓

Didn't seem like you meant it.

#802

⇓

Uh, yeah, that's just-- that's just my natural tone.

#803

⇓

Maybe the problem is that

#804

⇓

Adam is looking down on the P.A.

#805

⇓

-Yeah. -[Homelander] Mm-hmm.

#806

⇓

Yeah, um...

#807

⇓

Adam, I think you should get on your knees and do it again.

#808

⇓

[coughs]

#809

⇓

I'm sorry if I

#810

⇓

exploited our inequitable power dynamic,

#811

⇓

and I made you feel uncomfortable.

#812

⇓

Please forgive me.

#813

⇓

-He's still lying. -Mm-hmm. I agree.

#814

⇓

I think maybe he needs to be taught a lesson.

#815

⇓

[whispers]

#816

⇓

[both chuckle]

#817

⇓

I want you to slap him.

#818

⇓

Bonnie--

#819

⇓

[grunts] Oh! Oh, fuck.

#820

⇓

Do it again.

#821

⇓

[cries out] Okay...

#822

⇓

-Again. -[Adam] Homelander--

#823

⇓

-[slaps] -Oh! Fuck me.

#824

⇓

-[slaps] -[grunts] I'm sorry. Stop, please.

#825

⇓

-[slaps] -[Adam grunting]

[Adam grunting]

#828

Bonnie, please. Please!

#829

⇓

-Homelander, pl-- -[slaps]

#830

⇓

Please, can we take a break?

#831

⇓

-Are you all right? -Yes, I'm all right.

#832

⇓

Right.

#833

⇓

[sighs]

#834

⇓

I didn't know you were a Catholic.

#835

⇓

Something about the drama of it appeals.

#836

⇓

-[chuckles] -You know?

#837

⇓

Do you still believe in God?

#838

⇓

I want to.

#839

⇓

It's just, uh...

#840

⇓

It's just so hard sometimes.

#841

⇓

And you?

#842

⇓

With all my heart.

#843

⇓

The trinity, the resurrection,

#844

⇓

the sacraments... all of it.

#845

⇓

Well, except for the Sacraments of Penance.

#846

⇓

Come on.

#847

⇓

What a steaming pile of dog shit that is.

#848

⇓

I really kind of think that

#849

⇓

forgiving is...

#850

⇓

-is important. -Forgiving, oui.

#851

⇓

But not being forgiven.

#852

⇓

What, I confess to some priest

#853

⇓

I don't even know in a peep show booth,

#854

⇓

and all my sins wash away?

#855

⇓

Dog shit.

#856

⇓

Some sins God should not forgive.

#857

⇓

Some sins deserve eternal damnation.

#858

⇓

Frenchie...

#859

⇓

...what have you done?

#860

⇓

It is not just one thing, you see.

#861

⇓

It is so many things.

#862

⇓

You should really talk to someone.

#863

⇓

You should. I mean, have you told Kimiko?

#864

⇓

[Frenchie] If I tell her...

#865

⇓

...I'm scared she'll hate me.

#866

⇓

I'm even more scared she won't.

#867

⇓

[wood crashing]

#868

#870

Is that a fucking V'd-up bull?

#872

-[mutters in French] -Oh, my God.

#874

⇓

Off we fuck, nice and slow.

#875

#876

This is fucking crazy.

#877

Come on. Go!

-[Annie] Oh, my God. -[screeches]

-[screeches] -[gasps]

#882

[screaming]

#883

[Frenchie] Come on.

#884

⇓

Let's go!

#885

⇓

-[screeches] -[all panting]

#886

⇓

-[Annie sighs] -[Frenchie] Oh, mon Dieu.

#887

⇓

I can't believe this is fucking happening to me again.

#888

⇓

Oh, my God, Sameer.

#889

⇓

-[Neuman] Are you okay? -[Sameer] Yeah.

#890

⇓

I'm fine, but, uh, Henry...

#891

⇓

Wait. Zoe's not here, is she?

#892

⇓

-Because-- No? -No, no. She's okay. She's okay.

#893

⇓

-[Sameer] Okay, good. -[Annie] Wait. Oh, my God,

#894

⇓

is that Zoe's dad?

#895

⇓

[Edgar] Dr. Shah was my top man

#896

⇓

at Vought R&D

#897

⇓

before he went behind my back

#898

⇓

and deflowered my daughter.

#899

⇓

Okay, I was 20, thoroughly deflowered, and this isn't the time or the place.

#900

⇓

What happened?

#901

⇓

We gave, uh, V to a hamster, so we could test the virus on it.

#902

⇓

Oh, a V'd-up hamster was your first mistake, mon ami.

#903

⇓

It got loose. Trashed the lab. We ran,

#904

⇓

but the V had already leaked into the ground water.

#905

⇓

Is the virus gone?

#906

⇓

Yes.

#907

⇓

Fuck.

#908

⇓

Except for, uh...

#909

⇓

Except for one dose.

#910

⇓

[dramatic music playing]

#911

⇓

[Neuman] Okay.

#912

⇓

Hey.

#913

⇓

-How transmissible is that? -[Sameer] Not very.

#914

⇓

Only through bodily fluid. Blood, saliva... semen.

#915

⇓

Okay, so we inject it into your dead buddy over here as bait,

#916

⇓

and then we put him outside to infect the crazy fucking flying sheep.

#917

⇓

This man is in no condition to fuck a sheep.

#918

⇓

They would eat him.

#919

⇓

-Oh. -[Butcher] Bollocks.

#920

⇓

That's the only dose. I say we fucking leg it.

#921

⇓

-Butcher's right, it's too valuable. -[Annie] Okay, we run,

#922

⇓

-we don't all make it. -Darwinism, love.

#923

⇓

Don't got to be the fastest, just not the slowest.

#924

⇓

No fucking way.

#925

⇓

-Enough. Not now. -I won't be able to outrun them.

#926

⇓

[Butcher] Oh, don't you cry for that cunt.

#927

⇓

He's just trying to nick Zoe from you.

#928

⇓

That's his whole fucking plan, isn't it?

#929

⇓

He's lying.

#930

⇓

-Sorry, Stanny. Just business. -Guys, stop.

#931

⇓

-Son of a bitch. -I should've fucking known.

#932

⇓

M.M. could die, okay? Or Frenchie.

#933

⇓

I mean, you really don't care who you just throw to the wolves?

#934

⇓

-No, not really. -[Annie] You're a monster,

#935

⇓

-and I'm not letting you do this. -[Butcher] Or what?

#936

⇓

You gonna go stark raving like you did with Firecracker?

#937

⇓

I got the head popper and you can't even get it up.

#938

⇓

Enough. Enough! Look. Look.

#939

⇓

Y'all see this?

#940

⇓

Hives.

#941

⇓

And I got them

#942

⇓

because y'all motherfuckers are driving me the fuck crazy.

#943

⇓

Now, Annie,

#944

⇓

you can't just go around fucking everybody up.

#945

⇓

And, Neuman, do you really

#946

⇓

want to risk Zoe growing up in a group home the way you did?

#947

⇓

And you.

#948

⇓

Look.

#949

⇓

My little baby girl needs me,

#950

⇓

and I intend on seeing her.

#951

⇓

You're not a monster, Butcher.

#952

⇓

You are a motherfucker, but you a motherfucker with a heart.
