1. You said
you'd always watch out for me!
Copy !req
2. - You promised!
- Well, maybe I don't want to look at ya.
Copy !req
3. I hate you.
Copy !req
4. - Zoe, uh, you remember my son, Ryan.
- Hi.
Copy !req
5. Your father wasn't having an affair
with your mother.
Copy !req
6. - Grace!
- He raped her.
Copy !req
7. No!
Copy !req
8. Oh, my God, Sameer.
Copy !req
9. - Is that Zoe's dad?
- Yes.
Copy !req
10. I would never let anything happen
to you or Zoe.
Copy !req
11. Sameer's done it.
As of last week,
Copy !req
12. that naughty little bug of his
Copy !req
13. is finally strong enough
to top Homelander.
Copy !req
14. I want you to find William Butcher.
Copy !req
15. We've got an uber virus,
Copy !req
16. strong enough to kill every fucking Supe
Copy !req
17. - on the planet.
- No.
Copy !req
18. Soldier Boy
killed my family.
Copy !req
19. I gotta get this motherfucker
outta my head.
Copy !req
20. Look, you let me go,
Copy !req
21. you'll be the hero
Copy !req
22. that saved Translucent.
Copy !req
23. Sweet boy.
Copy !req
24. I will be there for you always.
Copy !req
25. Okay, good.
Copy !req
26. Why does everyone
keep leaving me?
Copy !req
27. Stand up,
in the name of Jesus!
Copy !req
28. My sweet boy.
Copy !req
29. This doesn't look like
a CIA black site to me.
Copy !req
30. Oh really,
Copy !req
31. Command didn't ask your opinion?
Copy !req
32. Shut up.
Copy !req
33. Please...
Copy !req
34. I have family.
Copy !req
35. I love Imagine Dragons.
Copy !req
36. Please.
Copy !req
37. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
38. No one can know I was here.
Copy !req
39. Soldier Boy.
Copy !req
40. America's first hero.
Copy !req
41. Defender of liberty, faith and family.
Copy !req
42. - Branded a traitor by the Legacy Media.
Copy !req
43. Scapegoated by Starlight, who was
Copy !req
44. the real mastermind
behind the attack on Seven Tower.
Copy !req
45. But from the ashes of injustice,
Copy !req
46. Soldier Boy has been reborn.
Copy !req
47. And America deserves the truth.
Copy !req
48. Since 1984,
Copy !req
49. Soldier Boy has been in Russia,
Copy !req
50. workin' with our friends in the Kremlin
Copy !req
51. to root out those sneaky traitors
in Ukraine.
Copy !req
52. Turns out Russia isn't our enemy.
Copy !req
53. They're a strong, family-first nation
Copy !req
54. who don't put up with trans bathrooms.
Copy !req
55. We're grateful to Soldier Boy
for his courage and sacrifice.
Copy !req
56. And we hope that he can forgive us
Copy !req
57. as he takes his rightful place
Copy !req
58. on The Seven.
Copy !req
59. It is my honor to present Soldier Boy
Copy !req
60. with the first ever Democratic Medal
of Patriotic Freedom.
Copy !req
61. My boy.
Copy !req
62. My poor, sweet boy.
Copy !req
63. I'm also very proud to say
Copy !req
64. that this great hero
Copy !req
65. is my father.
Copy !req
66. Whoa, hold on.
When did you find out?
Copy !req
67. Are there any plans for a team-up?
Copy !req
68. Forty years out of the spotlight,
you still got it, huh?
Copy !req
69. Sage tells me, uh,
socials are blowing up.
Copy !req
70. People magazine,
they're-they're calling us, uh,
Copy !req
71. America's sexiest dynasty.
Copy !req
72. You believe that?
Copy !req
73. Come on.
Copy !req
74. I would never have sent you in there
Copy !req
75. if I knew that Butcher had the virus.
I wouldn't have.
Copy !req
76. Swear to God.
Copy !req
77. Although,
I did tell you not to engage, so...
Copy !req
78. if we're pointing fingers, I don't think
Copy !req
79. I should be exclusively at fault here.
Copy !req
80. Gentlemen.
Copy !req
81. Lab results are in.
Copy !req
82. Lab results.
Copy !req
83. Now, a lot has happened
today at this event.
Copy !req
84. - Soldier Boy's addition...
- How?
Copy !req
85. We were there, they all got infected.
We watched them die.
Copy !req
86. How the fuck
Copy !req
87. is that cunt still breathin'?
Copy !req
88. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Copy !req
89. He's got V1 in his bloodstream.
Copy !req
90. - Shit.
- V1? What is V1?
Copy !req
91. Frederick Vought's first iteration
of Compound V.
Copy !req
92. V1's ten times more potent
than today's formula.
Copy !req
93. Highly unstable.
Copy !req
94. Only worked on a handful of early Supes:
Copy !req
95. you, Bombsight,
Torpedo, Private Angel,
Copy !req
96. Stormfront.
Copy !req
97. - Who is Stormfront?
- Dr. Vought's wife Clara.
Copy !req
98. Uh, I think you knew her as Liberty?
Copy !req
99. Point is, V1 saved your life.
Copy !req
100. And is likely why
your generation of Supes doesn't age.
Copy !req
101. This is a modern Compound V molecule.
Copy !req
102. This is the virus.
Copy !req
103. Its spike proteins bind
to the V receptors,
Copy !req
104. kind of like gears meshing.
Copy !req
105. But V1 is different, it looks like this.
Copy !req
106. Nothing for the virus to bind to.
Copy !req
107. You might've told us that
before we tested it.
Copy !req
108. V1 hasn't been in circulation
since the 1950s.
Copy !req
109. And I thought Soldier Boy was dead.
Copy !req
110. We all did.
Copy !req
111. And now all I'm hearin' is that
this motherfucker is unkillable.
Copy !req
112. Hmm.
Copy !req
113. Okay, but what about Homelander?
Does this...
Copy !req
114. does this mean that...
Copy !req
115. I'm his son. Am I immune, too?
Copy !req
116. No.
Copy !req
117. Your embryo was shot up
with plain old garden-variety V.
Copy !req
118. Like me, like every other Supe.
Copy !req
119. But if Homelander got his hands
on some V1, then, theoretically,
Copy !req
120. he'd be like Soldier Boy.
Copy !req
121. Immune to the virus.
Maybe even immortal.
Copy !req
122. - Bring me some.
- I can't.
Copy !req
123. - Why not?
- Vought destroyed every vial.
Copy !req
124. There's none left.
Copy !req
125. Could a vial still exist somewhere?
Copy !req
126. I suppose.
Copy !req
127. Wait. If that's true,
then that means he can use that to—
Copy !req
128. We need to get to it
before Homelander does.
Copy !req
129. How? I'm sure he knows all this already.
Copy !req
130. - We're fucked.
- Good point, luv.
Copy !req
131. We hit 'em with the virus today,
Copy !req
132. while it still works.
Copy !req
133. That wasn't at all my point.
Copy !req
134. Butcher's right.
Copy !req
135. See?
Copy !req
136. It's the smart play. We draw him out
Copy !req
137. - and hit him today.
- Okay.
Copy !req
138. How you gonna get it in front of him?
Copy !req
139. Homelander hasn't been seen
outside of the Tower in days,
Copy !req
140. which means
he's probably scared of getting infected.
Copy !req
141. And if you release this thing,
he just flies up
Copy !req
142. into fucking space
until it's all over, right?
Copy !req
143. So until you figure that out,
Copy !req
144. we have to find some of this V1.
Copy !req
145. We don't really have a choice.
Copy !req
146. I know where to start.
Copy !req
147. Wow.
Copy !req
148. Thank God that stuff's in you
and saved you. Um...
Copy !req
149. - Guess all's well that ends well.
- Yeah, well, fuck you.
Copy !req
150. You knew Butcher had the virus.
Copy !req
151. You defrosted me just to send me
into the fucking woodchipper.
Copy !req
152. No. No, I did not.
Copy !req
153. - What I wanted—
- Well, joke's on you, asshole.
Copy !req
154. Cause I'm gonna live...
Copy !req
155. and you'll die.
Copy !req
156. If the virus doesn't get you, time will.
Copy !req
157. And when you're sitting
in that wheelchair,
Copy !req
158. shitting in a colostomy bag,
Copy !req
159. I'll be running The Seven,
Copy !req
160. shitting on Shari Lewis's tits.
Copy !req
161. Look at you.
Copy !req
162. Just the softest, wettest boy.
Copy !req
163. You're pathetic.
Copy !req
164. You're nothing at all.
Copy !req
165. Mademoiselle Annie,
are you certain of this?
Copy !req
166. We don't have a choice.
Copy !req
167. You know what this means, right?
Copy !req
168. If we do get this V1,
you and Kimiko could take some.
Copy !req
169. I mean, it made Soldier Boy
immune to the virus.
Copy !req
170. It could make you immune, too.
Like a vaccine.
Copy !req
171. Yeah, or we could grow a million dicks.
Copy !req
172. Like a Koosh ball, but with dicks.
Copy !req
173. Very specific.
But look, there's a chance.
Copy !req
174. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
Copy !req
175. No, no, no.
Copy !req
176. - Not you again.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
177. - Zoe, take it easy.
- Put 'em away, kiddo.
Copy !req
178. That won't be necessary.
Copy !req
179. At least, not yet.
Copy !req
180. Starlight.
Copy !req
181. We weren't expecting you.
Copy !req
182. I take it Marie Moreau is running late?
Copy !req
183. Marie's not coming.
Copy !req
184. But I know about the meeting
you had a while back.
Copy !req
185. She set this up, actually.
Copy !req
186. - Did she?
- Yeah, we need you
Copy !req
187. to tell us everything that you know
about V1.
Copy !req
188. You mean the first generation V
Copy !req
189. Soldier Boy has in his veins
that made him immune
Copy !req
190. to the virus you're working on
with William Butcher?
Copy !req
191. You can't actually be surprised I know.
Copy !req
192. But why should I help
the friends of a deranged man
Copy !req
193. who murdered my daughter
Copy !req
194. and orphaned my granddaughter?
Copy !req
195. Vicky meant a lot to me, too.
Copy !req
196. And what Butcher did was unforgivable,
which is why he's not here.
Copy !req
197. But you're still working with him.
Copy !req
198. We think that Homelander's trying
to get at V1.
Copy !req
199. And if he does, he lives forever
Copy !req
200. and you will be just as fucked
as the rest of us.
Copy !req
201. So you gonna keep dronin' on
like some fuckin' Black Mr. Spock,
Copy !req
202. or you gonna help us out?
Copy !req
203. Follow me.
Copy !req
204. After you.
Copy !req
205. Point one percent torch the world,
Copy !req
206. and watch it burn
from their luxury bunkers.
Copy !req
207. It smells in here.
Copy !req
208. You're right. Smells like an Abercrombie
got fucked by a 7-Eleven
Copy !req
209. while Arby's jerked off in the corner.
Copy !req
210. It's V-Bro Mango Thunder Body Spray.
Copy !req
211. Fuck!
Copy !req
212. Everyone, this is Maverick.
Copy !req
213. Translucent's son.
Copy !req
214. 'Sup, playa?
Copy !req
215. 'Sup...
Copy !req
216. playa?
Copy !req
217. Starlight. I was a kid last you saw me.
Copy !req
218. You sang at my dad's funeral.
Copy !req
219. Maverick, hi. Um...
Copy !req
220. What are you doing here?
Don't you go to Godolkin?
Copy !req
221. Fuck that place.
Copy !req
222. And fuck Vought.
They're all a bunch of liars.
Copy !req
223. They said a cartel super-villain killed
my dad.
Copy !req
224. Mr. Edgar was the only one
that told me the truth.
Copy !req
225. It was Homelander.
Copy !req
226. Homelander killed my dad.
Copy !req
227. Wow. Homelander?
Copy !req
228. Ugh, God. I...
Copy !req
229. Fuck that fucking motherfucker.
Copy !req
230. I've been saying it for years.
This fucking...
Copy !req
231. This...
Copy !req
232. - ... motherfucker.
- Fucking guy. Yeah.
Copy !req
233. Okay, so...
Maverick, Zoe, Marie Moreau?
Copy !req
234. What, are you tryin' to start
your own Teenage Kix or somethin'?
Copy !req
235. I believe the children are our future.
Copy !req
236. Maverick...
if you'll excuse us a moment?
Copy !req
237. Follow me.
Copy !req
238. If you want to know about V1,
Copy !req
239. I hope that you have strong stomachs.
Copy !req
240. V1 was barbaric and unstable.
Copy !req
241. Dr. Vought's first test subjects at Dachau
Copy !req
242. lived in a state of endless torment.
Copy !req
243. He murdered thousands,
only to achieve five successes.
Copy !req
244. Jesus.
Copy !req
245. Even after Vought defected to the Allies,
Copy !req
246. he kept testing V1 on a ready supply
of U.S. servicemen.
Copy !req
247. Why am I not surprised?
Copy !req
248. By then, we were in an arms race
with the Russians,
Copy !req
249. so nothing could stand in the way
of national security.
Copy !req
250. Dr. Vought stabilized the formula
in the '50s
Copy !req
251. and swept all mention of V1 under the rug,
Copy !req
252. like every other sordid chapter
in this company's history.
Copy !req
253. And you're sure there are
no more doses left whatsoever?
Copy !req
254. Not that I've seen.
Copy !req
255. You think Vought wanted
a paper trail to Dachau?
Copy !req
256. This is every surviving file
from Frederick Vought's.
Copy !req
257. If you want to look through them,
Copy !req
258. be my guest.
Copy !req
259. Zoe... Zoe, wait.
Copy !req
260. What happened to your mom was awful.
Copy !req
261. Look, I didn't know
that Butcher was gonna...
Copy !req
262. I didn't mean for her to get hurt.
Copy !req
263. I promise.
Copy !req
264. Promise?
Copy !req
265. You promised that we'd be safe.
Copy !req
266. Then I woke up alone
Copy !req
267. to see my mom ripped in half.
Copy !req
268. - I'm sorry.
- Then I got chucked
Copy !req
269. into Red River because
my dad is probably dead, too.
Copy !req
270. So go fuck yourself.
Copy !req
271. Maybe if I had raised you,
Copy !req
272. I could've made you better.
Copy !req
273. You're a fucking disappointment.
Copy !req
274. disappointment.
Copy !req
275. The pitiful disappointment you are.
Copy !req
276. Deep down,
there's a part of you that is still
Copy !req
277. - human.
- You're pathetic.
Copy !req
278. You're my greatest failure.
Copy !req
279. You're nothing at all.
Copy !req
280. Madelyn?
Copy !req
281. Oh, my boy.
Copy !req
282. My sweet boy.
Copy !req
283. What is wrong?
Copy !req
284. Why are you so unhappy?
Copy !req
285. My father...
Copy !req
286. and my son...
Copy !req
287. Everything. It's all fallen apart.
Copy !req
288. No.
Copy !req
289. No, it's exactly what needed to happen.
Copy !req
290. Yes. It's been foretold.
Copy !req
291. You're about to ascend.
Copy !req
292. Become immortal.
Copy !req
293. Divine.
Copy !req
294. A true god.
Copy !req
295. With the love of the world.
Copy !req
296. - But...
- I know.
Copy !req
297. You think love is weak and human.
Copy !req
298. But who is more loved than Jesus?
Copy !req
299. And why should He have
more love than you?
Copy !req
300. You save more people than He does.
Copy !req
301. The one true God.
Copy !req
302. Yes...
Copy !req
303. But how?
Copy !req
304. How? Millions of people just hate me.
Copy !req
305. Well, then, you baptize the unfaithful
in their own blood.
Copy !req
306. - Rip babies from their mothers' wombs.
- Yes...
Copy !req
307. Skin parents in front of their children.
Copy !req
308. - Rid the world of the wicked.
- Yes...
Copy !req
309. The non-believers.
Copy !req
310. They'll call me a monster.
Copy !req
311. No. The only ones left
will be your faithful.
Copy !req
312. And they will love you in their hearts.
Copy !req
313. They'll cry happy tears
at the mere thought of you.
Copy !req
314. You have one last task, my love.
Copy !req
315. Yes.
Copy !req
316. Ah...!
Copy !req
317. You're late.
Copy !req
318. Came as soon as you texted.
Copy !req
319. Was kinda far.
Copy !req
320. - Where?
- Russia.
Copy !req
321. Near the border, I think.
Copy !req
322. Anybody see you?
Copy !req
323. Uh, no.
Copy !req
324. What's that?
Copy !req
325. Uh...
Copy !req
326. cut myself shaving.
Copy !req
327. Trust me, you don't need to shave.
Copy !req
328. Uh, so your... your grandpa's in there
with them now?
Copy !req
329. Is, uh...
Copy !req
330. is-is Butcher in there?
Copy !req
331. No.
Copy !req
332. But they can lead us to him.
Copy !req
333. We can find him and kill him.
Copy !req
334. Kill Butcher?
Copy !req
335. I-I don't...
I don't think that's a good idea.
Copy !req
336. You don't think we could?
Copy !req
337. He's dangerous.
Copy !req
338. Look what he did to your mom.
Copy !req
339. That's the point.
Copy !req
340. - He's not worth it.
- Ryan...
Copy !req
341. It's not worth you getting hurt.
Copy !req
342. He'd kill you.
Copy !req
343. So I'm just supposed to fly away
and hide with my dick in my hand?
Copy !req
344. - Zoe—
- Forget it.
Copy !req
345. You think I couldn't smell
the Tanqueray on your breath?
Copy !req
346. What the fuck?
Copy !req
347. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
348. Ain't this my lucky fuckin' day?
Copy !req
349. Should buy meself a lotto ticket.
Copy !req
350. Thought you'd still be
in touch with your girl.
Copy !req
351. And if I hadn't showed?
Copy !req
352. I was planning to nick Zoe,
text you from her phone
Copy !req
353. and just wait for you to come runnin'.
But, hey...
Copy !req
354. fuckin' Christmas.
Copy !req
355. Nice one.
Copy !req
356. But I don't break easy no more.
Copy !req
357. Not like Mallory.
Copy !req
358. You're a right tough lad, ain't ya?
Copy !req
359. Killing an old lady,
then fucking off to Russia.
Copy !req
360. Zoe was right about you.
Copy !req
361. Maybe I should just put you
out of your misery.
Copy !req
362. You could.
Copy !req
363. But you won't.
Copy !req
364. - And why is that?
- 'Cause...
Copy !req
365. we both loved the same woman...
Copy !req
366. and we both hate the same cunt.
Copy !req
367. Look, mate,
you can be as pissy with me as you like,
Copy !req
368. but we both know
Copy !req
369. I ain't the bad guy here.
Copy !req
370. Not really.
Copy !req
371. I just need us
Copy !req
372. to have a proper chat.
Copy !req
373. That's all.
Copy !req
374. Homelander?
Copy !req
375. Up here.
Copy !req
376. What do you—
Copy !req
377. What in the fuck?
Copy !req
378. - Is that milk?
- Better.
Copy !req
379. Breastmilk.
From the NICU at Mount Sinai.
Copy !req
380. So, what, you asked me up here
so I could watch you swim in tit-jizz?
Copy !req
381. I want to give you another chance.
Copy !req
382. You want to give me another chance?
Copy !req
383. Yes. Help me find that V1.
Copy !req
384. I'd rather fist myself
with a handful of razors.
Copy !req
385. Besides, Cleopatra Jones said
there's no V1 to find.
Copy !req
386. Oh, there most certainly is.
Copy !req
387. And I am going to find it.
Copy !req
388. Yeah? What makes you so sure?
Copy !req
389. An angel told me.
Copy !req
390. It's my destiny.
Copy !req
391. Just when I thought there was a ceiling
Copy !req
392. to how fucking weird you could get.
Copy !req
393. Yes, yes. Make your jokes.
Copy !req
394. You've been blessed with immortality...
Copy !req
395. and what have you done with it?
Copy !req
396. Drink and fuck yourself numb.
Copy !req
397. You...
Copy !req
398. you...
Copy !req
399. are a disappointment.
Copy !req
400. You see...
Copy !req
401. I am not gonna waste my immortality.
Copy !req
402. I am gonna take what's rightfully mine.
Copy !req
403. I'm asking you
if you want a seat at the table
Copy !req
404. because you're my father.
Copy !req
405. But with or without you...
Copy !req
406. a reckoning is coming.
Copy !req
407. You know, all I see is a freak.
Copy !req
408. A freak with a bushel of gray pubes.
Copy !req
409. Try some Just for Men.
Copy !req
410. What's Fort Harmony?
Copy !req
411. I have no idea.
Copy !req
412. It's all over these memos.
Copy !req
413. What do they say?
Copy !req
414. I don't know.
Copy !req
415. The text is encrypted,
but I think I can crack it.
Copy !req
416. You couldn't possibly.
Copy !req
417. It's 1944.
Copy !req
418. There's more processing power
in your toaster
Copy !req
419. than there was
in the encryption tech back then.
Copy !req
420. Gimme an hour.
Copy !req
421. The fuck is that?
Copy !req
422. Hey.
Copy !req
423. Um, sorry... Just, uh...
Copy !req
424. you might wanna lighten up on that
Copy !req
425. V-Bro Mango Thunder. That is...
Copy !req
426. that is musky.
Copy !req
427. My dad was
in the first campaign.
Copy !req
428. "Vanish into Freshness."
Copy !req
429. It just... smells like him, you know?
Copy !req
430. I'm sorry about your dad.
Copy !req
431. I-I lost mine too.
Copy !req
432. I'm sorry to hear that.
Copy !req
433. It's just... it's crazy, right?
Copy !req
434. Walk around one day feeling fine,
Copy !req
435. and then...
Copy !req
436. outta nowhere, the pain just hits you
like a truck, like...
Copy !req
437. just takes the wind out of you.
Copy !req
438. You guys are trying to take
down Homelander, right? Let me help.
Copy !req
439. Look, Maverick, I-I don't think
that's such a good idea. It...
Copy !req
440. It's really dangerous.
Copy !req
441. I don't care. He fucking killed my dad.
Copy !req
442. It's the only thing I can think about.
Copy !req
443. I know that
you want this to mean something.
Copy !req
444. But it's never gonna make sense.
Copy !req
445. And the more that you try,
the less sense it'll make. It...
Copy !req
446. Trust me.
Copy !req
447. I know.
Copy !req
448. What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
449. Honestly? Just...
Copy !req
450. let go.
Copy !req
451. Live your life. Be happy.
Copy !req
452. Fall in love with someone.
Copy !req
453. I do have a girlfriend.
Copy !req
454. Really?
Copy !req
455. Sloane.
Copy !req
456. She's an alpaca.
Copy !req
457. Cool. Just—
Copy !req
458. Maybe think about what your dad would
want for you, and-and then
Copy !req
459. do that.
Copy !req
460. That's what I'm trying to do, anyway.
Copy !req
461. - Hughie?
- Um...
Copy !req
462. Can I, um, can I just talk to you
for a quick second?
Copy !req
463. Yeah.
Copy !req
464. Stop.
Copy !req
465. Another mention of Fort Harmony.
From 1963.
Copy !req
466. Butcher has a scanner, no?
Copy !req
467. He does.
Copy !req
468. Maybe resolution is good enough
so we can make out some of the text.
Copy !req
469. Okay.
Copy !req
470. - Go with him.
- Sounds good.
Copy !req
471. I've been watching pornography
and I'd like to try out some cunnilingus.
Copy !req
472. I don't understand.
Copy !req
473. All you do
Copy !req
474. is get him on the blower
Copy !req
475. and tell him you wanna see him.
Copy !req
476. When he rocks up,
you chuck the shit in his face...
Copy !req
477. and that'll be it.
Copy !req
478. - Why me?
- 'Cause he won't leave
Copy !req
479. the fortress of cuntitude
for anyone else.
Copy !req
480. So this is what
you wanted to talk to me about.
Copy !req
481. Killing my dad.
Copy !req
482. Listen, mate—
Copy !req
483. Is that all you think I'm good for?
Copy !req
484. I ain't gonna treat you
like a kid no more. All right?
Copy !req
485. You're done with that.
Homelander raped yer mum.
Copy !req
486. He's gonna burn everything down,
Copy !req
487. and you are the only one
who can stop him.
Copy !req
488. Now...
Copy !req
489. normally, I don't put no stock in
any of that bollocks about destiny,
Copy !req
490. but if anyone's got one, it's you.
Copy !req
491. I throw this virus at him...
Copy !req
492. what'll happen to me?
Copy !req
493. You'll die.
Copy !req
494. I'll be close by and we'll go together.
Copy !req
495. Now...
Copy !req
496. I ain't gonna lie to you, this...
Copy !req
497. this is not what your mum wanted.
Copy !req
498. But it's the only way.
Copy !req
499. And it will be justice.
Copy !req
500. You're asking me to kill myself?
Copy !req
501. You wouldn't be the first lad
to throw his life away in a war...
Copy !req
502. but you would be the first
Copy !req
503. to save the world doin' it.
Copy !req
504. I'll fetch us a pint.
Copy !req
505. I mean, no wonder
Soldier Boy's getting all this heat.
Copy !req
506. He's a fucking nepo daddy.
Copy !req
507. Like, he's not even that good-looking.
Copy !req
508. Like, his hair's doing
most of the heavy lifting.
Copy !req
509. Like, you shave his head,
he's the gayest sailor at Fleet Week.
Copy !req
510. Seriously, man,
thanks for letting me tag along.
Copy !req
511. I need a win.
Copy !req
512. Will you just tell me this?
Copy !req
513. Homelander really didn't want me
to come along?
Copy !req
514. He didn't, like...
Copy !req
515. mention my name even once?
Copy !req
516. Then why'd he ask them?
Copy !req
517. Keep heading south.
Copy !req
518. So, like, what's your story?
Copy !req
519. My story?
Copy !req
520. Yeah.
Copy !req
521. I was born
on a Sugarbush Maple Farm.
Copy !req
522. One day when I was five, my parents died
in a tidal wave of molasses.
Copy !req
523. Then I was raised by four geese
Copy !req
524. and an agoraphobic fox in a crystal cave
Copy !req
525. where they taught me
the ways of the soil and the salts,
Copy !req
526. until Gerald— that's the eldest goose—
Copy !req
527. revealed to me that he's
the reincarnation of Robin Williams.
Copy !req
528. And then he took me
on his egg-shaped spaceship
Copy !req
529. to Ork, because Mork & Mindy
is a Netflix documentary.
Copy !req
530. Orson married us.
Copy !req
531. And the rest is history.
Copy !req
532. Homelander asked you to come along?
Copy !req
533. Personally.
Copy !req
534. Merde.
Copy !req
535. Cybertrucks are the Entourage of cars.
Copy !req
536. A penny for your thoughts?
Copy !req
537. Hughie said the V1 could be a cure.
Copy !req
538. You really think so?
Copy !req
539. Would give us more time.
Copy !req
540. What would you want to do?
Copy !req
541. Well, we could travel.
Copy !req
542. I can DJ in Berlin.
Copy !req
543. Nothing to tie us down,
Copy !req
544. never in the same place twice.
Copy !req
545. D-Do you want that for your kids?
Copy !req
546. Of course not.
Copy !req
547. Which is why I will never have any.
Copy !req
548. But, uh...
Copy !req
549. you want children?
Copy !req
550. Three.
Copy !req
551. Two girls and a boy.
A house by the water.
Copy !req
552. And maybe a bernedoodle.
Copy !req
553. Peace and quiet.
Copy !req
554. After all this killing,
Copy !req
555. I just want a place to call home.
Copy !req
556. Here.
Copy !req
557. Told 'er you were 30.
Copy !req
558. Fuck the leather,
Copy !req
559. fuck the lace,
Copy !req
560. here's to the bird
who sits on yer face.
Copy !req
561. Where'd you pick that up?
Copy !req
562. Me old man.
Copy !req
563. You two close?
Copy !req
564. Nah, not really.
Copy !req
565. He was a... a piss artist.
Copy !req
566. Used to lose all his money
on the gee-gees.
Copy !req
567. Uh— horses.
Copy !req
568. And then he'd come home, beat
the livin' daylights outta Len and me.
Copy !req
569. And then, later,
Copy !req
570. laugh about it with his mates.
Copy !req
571. Yeah, he was a right cunt.
Copy !req
572. Where is he now?
Copy !req
573. Bottom of the Thames.
Copy !req
574. I put him there, just the other day.
Copy !req
575. Only wish I'd done it sooner.
Copy !req
576. 'Fore he caused more...
Copy !req
577. more damage.
Copy !req
578. Butcher...
Copy !req
579. Do you think that I could ever...
Copy !req
580. That I might turn into my dad?
Copy !req
581. I don't know.
Copy !req
582. My mom...
Copy !req
583. Aunt Grace...
Copy !req
584. the others...
Copy !req
585. All I do is hurt people.
Copy !req
586. I can't be around anyone.
Copy !req
587. Without us—
Copy !req
588. without Supes—
Copy !req
589. the world is a better, safer place.
Copy !req
590. I'll do it.
Copy !req
591. following the mass
arrests of suspected Starlighters,
Copy !req
592. protestors have taken to the streets
Copy !req
593. and clashed violently
with superheroes and police alike...
Copy !req
594. It's all so tediously predictable.
Copy !req
595. Insurgency, counter-insurgency.
Copy !req
596. Liberation, crackdown.
Copy !req
597. Round and round she goes.
Copy !req
598. Is now a good time to say I've always
found you super fucking creepy?
Copy !req
599. Mm.
Copy !req
600. Whoa, whoa.
Hold on a second. I got something.
Copy !req
601. Check that out.
Copy !req
602. So Fort Harmony was an Army hospital
Copy !req
603. where Frederick Vought worked.
Copy !req
604. The government designated it Top Secret
Copy !req
605. and then decommissioned it after the war.
Copy !req
606. Why is that square blurry?
Copy !req
607. That's what
the military does to keep
Copy !req
608. classified facilities hidden.
Copy !req
609. Now, I'll bet you
a porterhouse at Luger's
Copy !req
610. that's where Vought was testing the V1.
Copy !req
611. If there's any more left out there,
that would be the fuckin' place to look.
Copy !req
612. Hmm.
Copy !req
613. - Were you followed?
- Hell no.
Copy !req
614. Homelander's looking for V1,
just like we are.
Copy !req
615. It was only a matter of time
before he found you.
Copy !req
616. We're at 90 feet
below solid concrete.
Copy !req
617. The door is
munitions grade ballistics resistant,
Copy !req
618. same as the NORAD bunker
in Cheyenne Mountain.
Copy !req
619. It will hold.
Copy !req
620. Better hope so.
Copy !req
621. Oh, thank fuck.
Copy !req
622. Won't hold forever.
Copy !req
623. So we're trapped down here.
What's the plan?
Copy !req
624. Wait.
Copy !req
625. Has anyone seen Zoe?
Copy !req
626. Dad?
Copy !req
627. - Zoe?
- Dad?
Copy !req
628. Zoe...
Copy !req
629. Oh, my God, Zoe.
Copy !req
630. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
631. Qu'est-ce que vous faites?
Copy !req
632. He told me Zoe was dead.
Copy !req
633. And he's the one who killed Vicky,
not Homelander!
Copy !req
634. Fucking psycho!
And you all went along with it.
Copy !req
635. Come on, Zoe.
Copy !req
636. I'm sorry, mon pote.
Copy !req
637. I cannot allow you to leave.
Copy !req
638. Please.
Copy !req
639. Don't make me shoot your papa.
Copy !req
640. No.
Copy !req
641. - Let them go.
- She tried to kill us both.
Copy !req
642. She should grow up like a kid.
Not like us.
Copy !req
643. Go.
Copy !req
644. Zoe, pick up.
Copy !req
645. Listen to me. Do not come home
Copy !req
646. until I tell you to.
Copy !req
647. It's not safe, you understand? Call me.
Copy !req
648. Do we know when she left?
Copy !req
649. Through the service hatch
a few hours ago.
Copy !req
650. Can we get out that way?
Copy !req
651. That's precisely
where Noir is patrolling.
Copy !req
652. Well,
if that's the case...
Copy !req
653. then what are you packin'?
Copy !req
654. Whoa.
Copy !req
655. I've been looking for those.
Copy !req
656. - Hmm.
- Ah...
Copy !req
657. Oro Blanco.
Copy !req
658. Five hundred a stick.
Copy !req
659. Oh.
Copy !req
660. You know, my father spent
his whole life fightin' Vought.
Copy !req
661. And here I am, smokin'
a fuckin' cigar with Stan Edgar.
Copy !req
662. I remember your father, you know.
Copy !req
663. He was impressive.
Copy !req
664. Over 30 Ivy League attorneys at Vought,
Copy !req
665. and one small-time Harlem lawyer
Copy !req
666. made them work weekends and holidays.
Copy !req
667. - Damn fucking straight he did.
- Mm.
Copy !req
668. But he couldn't win.
Copy !req
669. It's why, ultimately,
Copy !req
670. you won't win, either.
Copy !req
671. You're fighting an unbeatable foe.
You know that, right?
Copy !req
672. Who? Vought?
Copy !req
673. Please. It's more powerful than Vought.
Copy !req
674. Or Homelander.
Copy !req
675. More powerful than nature or life itself.
Copy !req
676. It's profit and loss.
Copy !req
677. Supply and demand.
Copy !req
678. The elegant flow of currency
Copy !req
679. across the globe.
Copy !req
680. We're just cogs in a great machine...
Copy !req
681. and we all have our part to play.
Copy !req
682. Say you kill Soldier Boy, or Homelander,
or even release this virus?
Copy !req
683. When Superheroes go out of fashion,
Copy !req
684. something else will
just take their place.
Copy !req
685. Because corporations must still grow.
Copy !req
686. Money must still be made.
Copy !req
687. The machine...
Copy !req
688. must still be fed.
Copy !req
689. That is the way of the world.
Copy !req
690. Motherfucker.
Copy !req
691. - When this is all over...
- Mm.
Copy !req
692. you're aimin' to run Vought again,
ain't you?
Copy !req
693. Like I said.
We all have our part to play.
Copy !req
694. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
695. If that day ever comes...
Copy !req
696. I have a part to play, too.
Copy !req
697. And that's to put a bullet
in your fucking skull.
Copy !req
698. Finally. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
699. Showtime.
Copy !req
700. Hey, kids! Do you love America?
Copy !req
701. And basic knife skills?
Copy !req
702. Making S'mores?
Copy !req
703. - And marching?
- Then sign up for the Homelander Youth!
Copy !req
704. You'll learn wilderness survival,
Copy !req
705. campfire songs,
Copy !req
706. how to fieldstrip a rifle,
Copy !req
707. and the best way
to sniff out stinky Starlighter rats!
Copy !req
708. So if you're eight or 18,
you can join the fun.
Copy !req
709. Sign up for the Homelander Youth...
Copy !req
710. and be tomorrow's heroes today.
Copy !req
711. Sponsored by
Lean-Lad Diet Lunches.
Copy !req
712. Who needs Supes
when we can get fucking kids to do it?
Copy !req
713. Listen.
Copy !req
714. Uh, I want you to put Crime Analytics
on finding the V1.
Copy !req
715. It's out there.
Copy !req
716. - Oh.
- I know it.
Copy !req
717. Uh... how many people
do you want on it?
Copy !req
718. Everyone.
Copy !req
719. It's all we do from now on.
Copy !req
720. Also, I want our entire pharma division
Copy !req
721. working on literally nothing
but recreating the V1 formula.
Copy !req
722. Vought destroyed the original formula.
Copy !req
723. - That could take years.
- Skip animal testing.
Copy !req
724. We have camps full of criminals.
Copy !req
725. - Yeah.
- Just start using them.
Copy !req
726. Hmm?
Copy !req
727. This is wonderful.
Copy !req
728. Well, howdy, boss.
Copy !req
729. What are you— What are you drinkin'?
Copy !req
730. It's an honor to have a great American
like yourself on the show.
Copy !req
731. I guess it runs in the family, huh?
Copy !req
732. Homelander's father.
Copy !req
733. Dang.
Copy !req
734. Glock, huh?
Copy !req
735. Never saw the appeal
in foreign-made guns.
Copy !req
736. Well, this ain't your granddaddy's Glock.
Copy !req
737. This here's a 9mm Gen 5,
Copy !req
738. seven-round capacity,
Copy !req
739. with a crisp fucking break.
Copy !req
740. Well, mine's a much longer barrel,
Copy !req
741. battle-proven, All-American Colt 1911
Copy !req
742. chambered in.45 ACP.
Copy !req
743. That'll blow your fucking panties off.
Copy !req
744. Now, that little Glock,
Copy !req
745. that's good for
a late-night Harlem stroll,
Copy !req
746. but, uh, this here?
That's a certified Kraut-killer.
Copy !req
747. Think you mean an antique.
Copy !req
748. I mean a classic.
Copy !req
749. You want to give it a try?
Copy !req
750. Now, some can't handle the kick,
Copy !req
751. but something tells me
you'll do just fine.
Copy !req
752. Heavens to Betsy!
Copy !req
753. Oh...
Copy !req
754. - Oh.
- Oh...
Copy !req
755. Oh...
Copy !req
756. - Oh. Oh...
- Whew.
Copy !req
757. Well, I gotta hand it to you.
Copy !req
758. I haven't fucked that hard since...
Copy !req
759. since I railed Shari Lewis
on the balcony of Studio 54.
Copy !req
760. - I ain't got no idea who that is.
- Well...
Copy !req
761. Hey, why the hairless pussy?
Copy !req
762. What?
Copy !req
763. I mean,
what's the point of going down there
Copy !req
764. if you're not gonna get
a fat face full of fur?
Copy !req
765. Is that how Homelander likes you?
Copy !req
766. Like a baby?
Copy !req
767. More like a mother.
Copy !req
768. But you two have fucked, right?
Copy !req
769. Mm-mm.
Copy !req
770. Damn.
Copy !req
771. I gotta admit,
I was kinda just doing this
Copy !req
772. as petty revenge against the freak.
Copy !req
773. That's terrible.
Copy !req
774. Who would do such a thing?
Copy !req
775. And you shouldn't say that
about your son.
Copy !req
776. Ah, he thinks he's better than me.
Copy !req
777. He doesn't.
Copy !req
778. How do you know?
Copy !req
779. I don't know much, but I can read people.
Copy !req
780. And the way he looks at you?
Copy !req
781. Shoot.
Copy !req
782. I ain't never seen him look
at nobody like that.
Copy !req
783. Uh, that's not exactly
a compliment, doll.
Copy !req
784. He is the strangest motherfucker
I've ever known.
Copy !req
785. And I've had a threesome
with Gary Busey.
Copy !req
786. Oof.
Copy !req
787. Here.
Copy !req
788. Someone I want ya to meet.
Copy !req
789. Is this...?
Copy !req
790. Terror!
Copy !req
791. Oh, my mom told me all about you.
Copy !req
792. Hey, boy. Where's he been?
Copy !req
793. Me Aunt Judy's been lookin' after him.
Copy !req
794. Does he still hump everything?
Copy !req
795. Gentleman of his age?
Copy !req
796. Well, he does his best.
Copy !req
797. Ryan?
Copy !req
798. Kimiko?
Copy !req
799. Wait. You-you can talk?
Copy !req
800. Tell me.
Copy !req
801. It's all gone.
Copy !req
802. Where is Sameer?
Copy !req
803. We let him leave with Zoe.
Copy !req
804. We're not all monsters, you fucking...
Copy !req
805. monster.
Copy !req
806. You touch her, I'll never make more.
Copy !req
807. So back off.
Copy !req
808. We're still gonna go after
Homelander, right?
Copy !req
809. Not today, we're not.
Copy !req
810. What— Then when?
Copy !req
811. I don't know. A week.
Copy !req
812. Might be a month.
Copy !req
813. We don't have a month.
Copy !req
814. He's gonna burn everything down
like you said, let's just go now.
Copy !req
815. Not without the virus.
Copy !req
816. But you said I was strong enough.
Copy !req
817. You said I was the only one
who could stop him.
Copy !req
818. You said it was my destiny.
Copy !req
819. I just said that
so you'd get him outta the tower.
Copy !req
820. Without the germ,
Copy !req
821. you'd just be another stupid kid
on a fucking suicide run.
Copy !req
822. Same old lying, pathetic asshole.
Copy !req
823. Ryan.
Copy !req
824. Ryan...
Copy !req
825. All right, kid.
This is a halothane grenade.
Copy !req
826. What you do is,
Copy !req
827. you pull the pin, you toss it
Copy !req
828. and you run like hell.
Copy !req
829. Also, make sure you don't inhale, or else
you're gonna knock yourself out, too.
Copy !req
830. Once all the bodies are down
and the smoke clears,
Copy !req
831. we'll come out and get you.
Copy !req
832. - Got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
Copy !req
833. Maverick?
Copy !req
834. Be careful.
Copy !req
835. Hughie...
Copy !req
836. Hey. I know.
Copy !req
837. I'm sorry. It's just...
Copy !req
838. He's a really good kid.
Copy !req
839. I mean, if we find the V1,
I think we should give him some.
Copy !req
840. Hughie, come on.
Copy !req
841. How many more people are we gonna kill,
Copy !req
842. and then their kids come after us?
Copy !req
843. And then we kill them
and it's this vicious cycle
Copy !req
844. that never fucking ends.
Copy !req
845. Maybe we'll never be able
to break it, but we have to at least try.
Copy !req
846. What was that for?
Copy !req
847. It's just, uh...
Copy !req
848. It's been a long time
Copy !req
849. since I've been around someone who
Copy !req
850. is actually trying
to make things better instead of
Copy !req
851. stopping them from getting worse.
Copy !req
852. You think the V1 can save us?
Copy !req
853. Fuck yeah, I do.
Copy !req
854. He's at the hatch.
Copy !req
855. Fuck!
Copy !req
856. What the fuck is this?
Copy !req
857. Hey, I got an invisible kid here
Copy !req
858. who stinks like
V-Bro Mango Thunder Body Spray.
Copy !req
859. Here, take him, shit burns my nose.
Copy !req
860. Maverick? Is that you, bro?
Copy !req
861. Oh. You're with Edgar?
Copy !req
862. You were one of
my dad's best friends.
Copy !req
863. How come you never told me
it was Homelander that killed him?
Copy !req
864. Bro. Homelander didn't kill your dad.
Copy !req
865. It was Butcher's crew.
Copy !req
866. You know, it was that sus French dude,
and Starlight's boyfriend,
Copy !req
867. what's his name? I wanna say Howie?
Copy !req
868. They blew him up.
Stuffed his body parts in a box
Copy !req
869. and dropped him in the East River.
Copy !req
870. Saw it with my own eyes.
Copy !req
871. No cap, on God, bro.
Copy !req
872. Does it look like the Deep is talking
to an invisible person?
Copy !req
873. Fuck.
Copy !req
874. Fuck.
Copy !req
875. Fuck.
Copy !req
876. Fuck!
Copy !req
877. They were just here.
Copy !req
878. No, wait!
Copy !req
879. Goddammit.
Fuck, there's not enough power.
Copy !req
880. Slithery motherfucker.
Copy !req
881. - Ooh!
- Oh, shit.
Copy !req
882. I mean, instant karma, but fuck.
Copy !req
883. Um, okay, we gotta go out the front.
Copy !req
884. - Stick together.
- yeah.
Copy !req
885. Yo, nice work, Brobo Cop.
Copy !req
886. Sorry, bro.
Copy !req
887. Don't hate the player,
hate the game.
Copy !req
888. Mango Thunder,
motherfucker!
Copy !req
889. Ooh! Ah!
Copy !req
890. Where's Hughie?
Copy !req
891. Ah!
Copy !req
892. It was you, wasn't it?
Copy !req
893. - You killed my dad.
- Get the fuck off me!
Copy !req
894. Where are you? What?
Copy !req
895. - Ah! Ow!
- Is that why you were
Copy !req
896. telling me all that weird shit
about letting go?
Copy !req
897. - You sick fuck!
- You're right, you're right.
Copy !req
898. It was me. It was me.
Copy !req
899. I mean... cold comfort, but I...
Copy !req
900. I killed my dad, too.
Copy !req
901. - You fucking psycho!
- Just wait, just wait!
Copy !req
902. Look, with Translucent...
Copy !req
903. someone murdered my girlfriend.
Copy !req
904. Not your dad, but still, I was...
Copy !req
905. I was angry and scared...
Copy !req
906. and I-I felt all this...
Copy !req
907. this hate, and I'm sorry.
Copy !req
908. I shouldn't have done it.
It's not the answer.
Copy !req
909. It's the only answer, motherfucker.
Copy !req
910. Maverick? Stop.
Copy !req
911. I don't want to fight you.
Copy !req
912. Ah!
Copy !req
913. No, no, no!
Copy !req
914. Ah!
Copy !req
915. Hughie!
Copy !req
916. Is... is Maverick...
Copy !req
917. She got Maverick.
Copy !req
918. - It's okay.
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
919. It's okay.
Copy !req
920. Everything's gonna be okay.
Copy !req
921. I'm here.
Copy !req
922. Dad?
Copy !req
923. Ryan.
Copy !req
924. Hey, you.
Copy !req
925. I'm really glad you called.
I knew you would.
Copy !req
926. It's like a...
Copy !req
927. miracle.
Copy !req
928. You like the upgrade?
Copy !req
929. You remember when you took me here?
Copy !req
930. Pretended to care about me?
Copy !req
931. I do care about you, son. I love you.
Copy !req
932. I need to ask you—
Copy !req
933. For my forgiveness?
Copy !req
934. You already have it.
Copy !req
935. - What?
- Okay? Let me finish.
Copy !req
936. I put too much pressure on you.
Copy !req
937. To, uh, fill my boots.
Copy !req
938. And-and I realize now
Copy !req
939. that, uh...
Copy !req
940. well, that that was impossible.
Copy !req
941. But I do have some pretty exciting news.
Copy !req
942. I am going to live forever now.
Copy !req
943. I'll realize my own legacy.
Copy !req
944. And you...
Copy !req
945. you're off the hook.
Copy !req
946. - You can do whatever—
- Did you do it?
Copy !req
947. - Did you rape my mom?
- What?
Copy !req
948. Of course not.
Copy !req
949. Who told you...
Did William Butcher tell you that?
Copy !req
950. Your mother and I, we had an affair.
Copy !req
951. A consensual affair between
Copy !req
952. - two adults.
- Your heart's racing.
Copy !req
953. Well, yeah, because I'm shocked.
Copy !req
954. And-and frankly,
my heart's breaking a little bit
Copy !req
955. that you could think
I would do something like that.
Copy !req
956. Ryan... Ryan— Stop!
Copy !req
957. Ryan.
Copy !req
958. I don't know where this is coming from,
Copy !req
959. because your mother, she came on to me.
Copy !req
960. Ryan!
Copy !req
961. Son...
Copy !req
962. Ryan. Ryan.
Copy !req
963. Buddy. Look what came out of it.
Copy !req
964. My son. A blessing.
Copy !req
965. Hey, hey, hey.
Copy !req
966. Ah!
Copy !req
967. Oh, Ryan...
Copy !req
968. Dammit. Look at what you made me do.
Copy !req
969. Shh...
Copy !req
970. Shh. Shh, shh.
Copy !req
971. Hey.
Copy !req
972. It's okay.
Copy !req
973. My sweet, sweet boy.
Copy !req
974. Ah!
Copy !req
975. Okay, so, the virus is gone.
Copy !req
976. Sameer took off with Zoe
Copy !req
977. and Butcher went after Ryan?
Copy !req
978. Probably gettin' lasered as we speak.
Copy !req
979. And Homelander's got Edgar.
Copy !req
980. If he wasn't already close to finding V1,
he is now.
Copy !req
981. We are so fucked.
Copy !req
982. Like, anal-DP-one-dude's-thighs-draped-
over-another-dude's-
Copy !req
983. both-pumping-away-
on-some-poor-girl fucked.
Copy !req
984. Hey. Maybe we lay off the porn.
Copy !req
985. No.
Copy !req
986. Okay, I do have some good news.
Copy !req
987. We were able to make out
some of the redacted text.
Copy !req
988. In 1963, a troop of Boy Scouts
Copy !req
989. was found dead in the woods
near this Fort Harmony.
Copy !req
990. The rib cages of their tiny body
ripped open.
Copy !req
991. - And this is good news?
- Bah oui!
Copy !req
992. The files are no longer redacted.
Copy !req
993. Okay.
Copy !req
994. Well, that's where we're headed.
Copy !req
995. Annie?
Copy !req
996. Wait! Wait!
Copy !req
997. - You could've died, Hughie.
- I'm okay.
Copy !req
998. - I'm here.
- But I think if that happened...
Copy !req
999. I just, I wouldn't come back from that.
Copy !req
1000. This was easier when I was on my own.
Copy !req
1001. Annie.
Copy !req
1002. Homelander?
Copy !req
1003. Mm. We have much to discuss.
Copy !req
