Sorry about all the... Don't be stupid. You did us a favor.

What are we going to do with him? We'll take care of it.

The tracking chip. Already disabled.

Sit down and relax with Yui.

Oi, where you think you're going?

I'm going home. I need clothes. We'll get you clothes.

I want my clothes.

Be right back.

You are perhaps in a state of shock, one of me. Huey, you just asked Bond

America, sweetheart. You can't just piss off.

I need to go home.

Alright. The French will go with you.

Wait, what?

No. Either he goes with you or I break your legs.

Good lad.

Translucent skiing ain't one burn, huh?

Where are you going to fish at home when they can't find it?

Nowhere.

But we can slow the cunt down a bit.

Come on in.

Ms. Stilwell.

Hello. Please sit.

Starlight. That video. Ms. Stilwell, please. Let me finish.

The date rape girl. The victim.

She saw that video on YouTube and she came forward to thank you.

She could not have been more effusive.

That's... That's good, right? It is fantastic.

You're pulling through the roof. You have a huge boost with men for the ass

-kicking, of course, but with women, too. They love the empowerment.

16 points with females, 18 to 49, even in the liberal retreat jurisdictions

New York and San Francisco. I don't know.

Hey. You just have to enjoy this.

This is so good for you. And it's so great for us. Because it is a

after all.

This is Seth and Evan from marketing. They have some brilliant ideas on how to

capitalize on all the buzz.

Gentlemen. Okay.

Now,

small town Iowa girl unexpected child prodigy is chosen for the seven.

Destiny knocks on the girl next door's door and she answers to fight for truth

and justice side by side with her hero. The Big Apple is rough.

Tumble, it's got worms.

Muggers and rapists and thieves. Oh my, Dorothy is not in Kansas anymore.

Or Iowa.

Poor girl gets knocked around. Something fierce kicked while she's down. So what

does she do? Does she cry in her milk? Does she quit?

No way. She adapts. She transforms.

Embraces her feminine strength.

Goodbye, yellow brick road. And hello, starlight.

I can't wear that.

What? Why not? It's beautiful.

Seriously?

It's just... It's not me. I designed a Homelander

suit. This isn't my first rodeo. You're wrong. It's totally you. It's bold. It's

brave. It's feminist.

How is that feminist?

Empowering. It says you're confident in your own skin and you're not afraid to

show it. Most importantly, it tells the story of your transformations, of what

you're going through. How exactly do you know what I'm going through exactly?

I'm sorry. I appreciate the effort. I really do, but...

I'm fine with my old outfit.

We're not.

Excuse me? Starlight, like I said before, this is a partnership. In a

partnership, there is give and there is take. It's my body.

I have the right to choose how much of it I show. That is true. You do.

You just won't be doing it in the seven.

Unless it is wrapped in that.

A -Train versus Shockwave, the race of the century.

The question now, Al, is can A -Train keep his title as the fastest man alive,

or is tomorrow the day he runs out of crack and the end of this fresh -faced

young challenge?

Let's wait here, okay?

Huey?

Oh, hey, Dad.

Look at the... Yeah, yeah. Sorry about this. I just... I've been meaning to

clean up the soup stuff for a while now, so... What, are you going

somewhere? Yeah, for a while.

Where?

Uh... I don't know.

You're scaring me, Hugh.

All right, now, I spoke...

To Dr. Feldman. The pediatrician? He's still your doctor, and he's given me the

name of someone you can talk to, help you, you know, get back to normal.

There's no normal anymore.

What do you mean? Look, we've always been very open with each other, right?

We've always told each other everything.

Talk to me. Stop it. What do you mean, stop it? Stop it.

I have never told you everything.

I have never told you how much I hate sitting on that couch staring at the TV

like we're already dead.

How much I fucking hate pizza rolls.

Now, you love pizza rolls. When I was seven!

I am not seven.

I'm sorry.

My father was a bipolar.

One night when I was 10, he tried to smother me with a Hello Kitty duvet.

Yo! The hell is wrong with y 'all?

This is not what we do here, gentlemen.

Now, didn't I tell you we take turns at the pawn?

Oslo. Diego.

Tell me you put your names up on my board.

Apologies, Mr. Milk. No, sir.

Nah, me neither, Mr. Milk. Which means that you have cut in line in front of

everybody else in here. What else does it mean? Come on, spit it out.

It means that we're disrespecting all the other niggas. Excuse me?

All our fellow brothers in the unit. Now, you both know how to write in the

English language in a passable fashion. I know that because I've seen to it

myself. Have I not? Yes, sir. Then please place your John Hancocks on my

Yes, sir, Mr. Miller. Thank you.

At the bottom of the list.

The fuck do you want? What? I can't visit me old mate?

Rekindle the unbreakable bonds of brothers in arms? Nope. Come on. Amen.

Bring it in. Look, if it's all the same, let's just cut the small talk.

All you're gonna do is lie and say how you're doing fine, and I'm gonna lie and

pretend like I'm happy to see you.

Why are you here?

All right.

How'd you like to come back? You have another guy? Mm -mm.

No, sir.

Keep it to yourself.

I don't want to know nothing about nothing.

I'm a happy man now.

Life is good.

Monique is back. We're good. Just bits on the ground every time your name comes

up. I can't do that to her again, man. Not to mention, I'm actually making

progress with these boys.

Yeah, so I can see.

Don't make me come out there. Well, this is God's work.

I can't argue with that.

But the man of your talents wasted here.

Little butcher, we were into some bad shit, man. Even before the Mallory stuff

and that, that was... If I'm gonna make a difference, I just feel

more comfortable doing it on a smaller scale. I'm a motherfucker with a heart.

Whereas you, you're just a motherfucker.

Funny you should mention making a difference.

Because we just dusted a soup.

Bullshit.

Translucent.

What the... Well, come on, you lime -sucking smartass. How the hell did you

it?

Well... Big lump of C4.

Pack Roy up his fudger.

Boom, Clara everywhere, fucking diabolical.

But before the fireworks, he coughed up a solid lead, spilled the beans in a big

way. Now, we play this right.

They could shake up the whole hornet's nest, bring down Seven and Vought at the

same time.

Mm -hmm.

You mean do Homelander.

This is about Becca, isn't it? It's always about Becca with you.

All right, you ain't got your reasons.

It'll be different this go, all right?

No, secrets and lies, bollocks, and that Mallory shit ain't gonna happen this

time, I swear to God.

Are you bringing Frenchy back?

Because I can't work with that motherfucker.

Frenchy? No, I ain't seen him in years.

And maybe you're the only bloke I can trust.

Since when have you ever trusted anybody?

Senator Calhoun, you've gone on the record against superheroes in the

Why change your tune? No one's changing their tune.

It's just, I realize that it's an issue that affects all Americans.

It shouldn't be decided by a few congressmen. Can't you make it stop?

He's not crying.

Oh, okay.

Oh, no, we can't put that back on. You know, I heard Translucent's tracking

went dead.

Yeah. He could be hurt.

How? He's got diamond skin.

He's going to be fine.

My guys are on it.

All right, I forgot to give you these. Here.

What is it?

Those are your new talking points.

Now that the military bill is out of committee, corporate wants to sell the

out of it.

Yes. Thank you.

Hey, you remember when you wanted me in the red cape and I said, no, no, no, no,

make it the flag?

Remember that?

Uh -huh. Yeah.

I don't need these.

Okay?

I can sell my way into the military.

Thank you.

You take care of your baby and I'll take care of mine.

Mr. Edgar wrote those personally.

So if you want to go to 82 and take it up with him, be my guest.

Renal, you cheap bastard.

Who do you think I am? Some double -O wanker. In case you hadn't noticed, we

ain't exactly rolling in it.

You don't think this is conspicuous?

Conspicuous? No, I don't think it's conspicuous. I think a big black van

fucking flowers on the side is conspicuous.

This. Just another truck on the street.

Bang on time.

Hi, Huey.

You fucking motherfucker!

Who is this guy? You give the game away. Not until this frog gets what's coming.

The only thing that he's coming is me and your mother.

Let's order, bitch.

We have an agreement about this. We're going to put a pin in it, all right?

agreement? There was no pin. I don't trust this French whore. I am more

than you, you racist piece of shit. There is water under the bridge.

You tell that to Mallory's grandkids.

Tell them it's water under the bridge.

That wasn't my fault, though. Who is Mallory? All right, look, both of you,

knock her on the head now.

Hey, Monique.

How you doing, baby?

Oh, I forgot to marinate the tilapia. I am so sorry, sweetheart.

Okay, how about this?

How about on my way home from work, I stop by DeLuca's, pick up two fat

tenderloins, some portobello mushrooms, that pinot that you love so much?

Yeah, baby.

Okay, I gotta go.

All right, sweetheart.

Yeah. Me too.

Baby, I just... You're right. You're right.

I love you too.

Okay.

Fuck all of y 'all, okay?

All right.

All right, listen.

You two novice, get some makeup, yeah?

We got a fucking job to do.

Fucking degageant.

Not yet.

Who's this guy?

The new lad, Huey.

Huey, Mother's Milk.

That's a nickname?

No, my mother actually named me Mother's Milk.

Did she?

So we got a French whore and a Stephen fucking Hawking. Great job, butcher.

It was Stephen fucking Hawking who dusted the soup.

She's home.

That's Papa, right? Are you hearing the girlfriend?

Oh, Papa, hi.

You know the rent?

Here was you last week.

Right, of course.

You think our A -train all right? Yeah, playing bury the bishop. I didn't hear

nothing about it. I'm usually up on these things. According to Translucent,

-train knows this bird inside out.

I'll drop the check off ASAP.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, let's get the bug sorted and see for ourselves.

Where'd you get this shit, Circuit City?

Right? He's a cheap bastard.

You know, we don't actually need to sneak in anything.

Huh? Look, all I need is your IPv6 number, and every desktop, every smart

the house has a camera on it. They probably have one in every room.

Even in the toilet?

No, Frenchie, not in the toilet. Look, I just need five minutes inside, and the

home service is my specialty.

Hello, ma 'am. We're with Bryman Audiovisual. We got the new router.

I'm... This is Huey.

I'm Gary.

I didn't make an appointment.

Oh, well, your manager did. He's upgrading the whole building. I just saw

landlord. He didn't mention it.

I've got a work order right here, man.

It only takes a second.

And we can get you all the way up to 1 ,000 mbps.

That's not a lot.

Okay. Come on in.

The computer's right over here if you need it.

Uh, yeah, I just need to sign on to your server in order to download the service

package. Yeah, sure.

I have a confession.

We're really big fans. I mean, Terminal Beauty 3?

Damn.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, that one really came together.

Let me know if you guys need anything else.

Thank you.

You and I fucked out all day?

Let's go.

Okay, ma 'am, all done.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you.

John Hancock?

Excuse me, bud.

You want an autograph or something?

Haven't we met before?

Maybe.

I meet a ton of people.

Come on, man.

Our meter's running out. Let's go. Let's get out of here.

Excuse us, brother. Yeah.

He's trying to get us killed.

Yeah. I'll be right there.

Look, Translucent's probably just lurking around a gynecologist's office

something. Two days? Come on.

I don't get it. Why is no one concerned about this?

Because if people find out one of the seven is missing, they panic.

That's right, you can't fucking stand Translucent. Yeah,

you bet, pal.

Of course. But if something's happened to him, then that's a direct attack on

the seven.

which is a direct attack on me. You've managed to make this about you unless

from the second class.

Hey, I'm not the one who's down a point and a half, so I think what you mean to

say is, gee, thanks, Homelander, for showing up out of the blue and bringing

extra press to my collar.

Homelander, leave.

Captain, you guys are the real heroes.

We're just glad we can help, right?

That's right.

Where's your shooter?

Shooter's on 31.

All right, get tight.

Elevators?

I'm just saying a missing team member is more important than A -Train's insipid

race. Mr.

Edgar wants us both at the race to roll out his new talking points. You know

this. I've X -rayed Edgar, you know. He is this close to a coronary. He's got

blood like engine oil.

And still well with that mewling baby. It's ridiculous.

They're just people.

But they snap their fingers and we jump. Why?

Why do we do that?

Because they sign our checks.

Can we just cut to the part where you show up to the race anyway?

See, that's why I love you.

You're the only one who tells me the truth.

That was my color.

It still is.

Yeah, well, I can't walk him on the Today Show like that.

No, that's true.

I got excited. I'm sorry.

I'm sure you are.

You know the drill. He shot at us first.

Things I let you do to me. Yeah, not even dating anymore

You

think

Tickles. Tickling.

What's the problem?

Shockwave's the problem.

What if I lose?

You're not gonna lose.

You're the fastest man alive.

Until I'm not.

You know what Stilwell told me?

If I don't win, I'm out.

Nobody wants the second fastest man in the seven.

V, where'd you put it?

Oh, you sure, babe? I mean, that stuff, it amps you up something in fear.

Remember last time?

Last time's not gonna happen again.

I'm under control.

You ran through a girl, baby.

It's not what I would call control. Unless you're the slippery slope.

Take it from me.

No, I...

How's that supposed to help me right now?

I have to win this thing.

I don't want to be some washed up beef water.

Like me?

No, not like... I

gotta

go. Why don't you just tell me where the V is, please?

I'll come back to see you tomorrow after the race.

What are you talking about?

I'm meaning to tell you.

Are you kidding me? I have been getting my hair done, threading my eyebrows,

waxing my body like a plucked chicken so that we could finally stand up there

together tomorrow in front of the world as a couple. I mean, it was all cleared

with Stilwell and everything.

You did clear it with Stilwell. Look, our time is gonna come, I promise.

But I gotta get my leverage back first.

Where's his feet?

What the hell is Compound V? Sounds like some kind of performance enhancer.

Steroids for soups?

Yeah, well, whatever it was, he was juiced on it when he murdered Robin.

What are you grinning at? Oh, I don't know, mate.

Maybe it's because the Seven might just be a squad of manky roid heads.

This is exactly the kind of malfeasance that Langley is going to eat up with a

spoonful. Not until we're sure he does what we think he does.

If we get a bit, can you work it out? I can run some tests, of course. But

there's no way of knowing unless I try so myself.

Amazing idea.

We'll cross that bridge and we burn it.

But first of all, we've got to get some.

Here's your cover.

You're a mild -mannered reporter.

So, uh, Butcher tells me he met you, what, a few days ago?

Yeah.

Yeah, that sounds right.

I don't know. I've kind of lost track of time.

Talk about baptism of fire.

I like you up here.

So translucent, huh?

How the fuck did you pull that off?

I don't know, just lucky, I guess.

Still, must have been scary.

You want to know what's really messed up?

Is, uh... In some ways, just right in that moment, it...

Felt kind of good.

It's written all over your face, Huey.

What? How can you tell? Because I know how this job makes me feel.

When I had the detonator in my hand, I felt like a... I felt like a rush.

I get it.

Like I felt alive.

But that rush, Huey, it's no different than the shit A -Train shoots up.

Everything comes with a price.

The last thing I ever said to Robin was, don't you ever besmirch Billy

Joel.

That was the last thing that she heard before she burst into pieces.

And I got to live with that shit for the rest of my life.

You pray?

Whatever it is, I'm paying.

This is the race of the century.

This is our legacy and our future.

Athletes achieving at the highest level.

is ready to leave the station reaching speeds in excess of a thousand miles per

hour the fastest men in the world are here in new york who will come out on

there he stands all

right

You got this?

Yeah.

Hey.

Ma is looking down on us both right now.

And that wind is at your back.

Now, you got this?

I got this. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I want to hear.

All right.

of the red tape and the deep state bureaucrats.

If the people want us in the armed forces, the people can order Congress to

it. Am I right?

Yes!

Sorry I'm late. You got room for one more?

Ravishing as ever, my sweet.

Hey!

Who's ready to see a race?

Let's hear it for my boy, A -Train.

All right.

You fucking cocksuckers. Thank you

for coming. It's nice to meet you.

Aren't you cute?

Is it okay if I get a selfie?

Of course, honey. Take this.

Look at you.

You really dress the part.

It's your old uniform, but I'm saving it for the new one.

Hey, Starlight, show us your teeth.

You do not need to press your

luck right now, okay?

Sweetie, you know what?

Save your money.

I like that one much better.

Starlight, I need a minute.

Let's make some noise!

Glad you made it.

I'm feeling you might.

Remember when we used to just... Fly off to Paris, like, on a whim.

I remember freezing my ass off across the Atlantic.

Yeah, those were good times.

Why don't we have a breakout?

What if we not crack open that tawdry little chapter?

Oh, come on.

You know...

fallen for someone else.

I just, I don't think I can handle it. You and me, we're different.

Better together forever.

For the best all around, pop a pound in any class.

It's the main event, so place your bets and drop your cash. Like the money team,

CMV, I'm bout my cash.

Come face your fears in the octagon and end up with your head on my blood.

All right, Frenchie, find it. You're in the clear.

Amy?

Amy? Amy!

Amy, hi.

Huey?

From the bench the other day?

You're, uh... You're Starlight.

That's... How did I not realize that?

Actually, kind of comforting that you didn't.

I can help, Huey. You know Starlight.

Well, Huey, it was really nice to see you, but I should get going. No, Huey,

need more time. Can I buy you an overpriced beer?

You know, if you've got time.

Throw in some overpriced nachos?

Lead the way.

Movie. Must have been somewhere else.

Fucking phone differentiate.

This is just so weird. I mean, the other day, what was it, three days ago?

Mm -hmm. You just seemed like, you seemed so normal, you know?

And now it's just... Now I'm a freak.

No, no, not a, no, that's not what I meant at all. I just meant, I just, I

wasn't getting Beyonce vibes, but now that you don't have them.

I'm messing with you. Okay.

We're fucked. No, it was really nice to talk to someone who didn't know who I

was.

Once you're behind the scenes, it's... It's different.

Like how?

I don't know if they really want you to be a hero.

I think they just want you to look like one.

The other day, on the bench, when you were talking about how much you hated

job, you meant... You meant this job.

Then, um... Just quit.

Just walk away. I mean, you got nothing to prove.

I should probably get back.

You know, before they set a search party for me.

Yeah, totally.

Um, listen, Annie, Starlight, what are you, uh... Annie.

Um, this is insane, but, uh, I know you're you and everything, but if you

just wanted to, you know, get... Would you like my number?

Yeah. Yeah, that's, uh... That's what I was asking.

Okay. Do I call you or do I just commit a crime? Probably committing a crime

would get me to you quicker, so.

Keep your gun in sound. I'm ready to rock the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Shockwave.

You all right?

Huh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good. I'm good. I'm fast, baby. Like an hour

roll, you know?

You look wired as hell.

That's just Mom's, uh... Her spirit is flowing through my body, you know what

I'm saying?

I've got eyes on that train.

He's totally jacked. He must have shot up the day.

We missed it, boys.

I'm out of here.

I'll check in later.

Where the hell are you going?

I was going to see about a girl.

Ladies and gentlemen, turn your attention to the track.

He doesn't strike twice.

How

the

hell do you know Starla?

I don't really know her, know her. Just, uh... Met on a park bench.

Huh.

You get a number?

Yeah.

Huey?

Uh, yeah.

Got it.

Good.

Hey, man. Pop Claus eyeballing a vial of V like it's made of Snickers.

What, you think she nicks on an A -train stash?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Get over here now.

Good, clean race. But there can only be one fastest man in the world, and that's

the A -Train, baby!

A -Train, how you celebrating tonight? Any special girl?

Uh, well, you know me.

I'm always in the game, but I'm too fast.

Fucking hell.

You said it.

She's been at it for an hour. Come and get me!

As you know, they're keeping low on air.

Okay. You see that red case over there?

I've been around long enough to know a fix kit when I see one.

And she told A -Train that V's a slippery slope.

So she's got experience. I figured if you wait around long enough, two plus

equals nasty.

Shallow fucking army.

Now admit it.

The Spades probably sent the leopards and they died, don't they?

Hey,

Bob Clark.

Mr. Lutz, the house call?

I'm just here for the rent. The rent you said you would pay?

You should come in.

You can wait there if you want, but it's going to take me a few minutes to write

the check.

I don't bite.

Unless you want me to.

That was a joke, Alec. Oh.

Alec, right?

Okay, let's get that check.

You want a drink, Alec, while you wait? You prefer Alec or Alexander?

It's actually short for Alexi. I like that.

Sounds more exotic. Okay.

Like what you see?

Huh? No.

Yes. I mean, it's lovely.

It's okay.

A lot of guys have a superhero fantasy.

I'm sorry. I mean, I... You

know, there

is a world where we could...

Hope that caught me.

I am going to stay right here until the cops come.

You're not a cat burglar.

You're a filthy pig. Say it.

You're a filthy pig who likes to eat ass.

All right, all right, hold on. Hang about, hang about. Not so fast.

You let that guy die.

He didn't do anything wrong.

He was dead already.

That's bullshit.

So you can cross a street, run up four flights of stairs in ten seconds like

some soup, can you?

And even if you had got there, she would have clawed your fucking head off.

Now we've got her right where we want her.

What? What are you talking about?

You're a smart lad, but you still ain't twigged to the one weakness they all

got.

reputations.

Come on, Frenchy.

Like you

said, whatever the price, you'll pay it.

Right?

Easy. Easy.

We ain't here to hurt you.

We're going to help you sort out this little mess.

And all you've got to do is tell us everything you know about that.

How are you?

All right, I got your message.

Where's the fire?

No, no, not fire.

Water.

Just ask my little guppy here.

You can show her.

Well, a very good friend of mine found it. It was a porpoise.

A fucking porpoise found it at the bottom of the harbor.

Go ahead, don't be shy.

Is that translucent?

Still think we got nothing to worry about?

How'd they even get through his skin?

I'm kind of a maniac.

I'm maniac.

Smart, actually.

Very smart.

Hey, Deep.

What can't I see through?

The ink, Homelander. Correct.

And what's the box made of, Deep?

Correct, again.

They also knew that we'd find translucent what's left of him

So they were just buying time.

Why do you say that?

I'm so glad you asked.

Whoever it was.

They just declared war.

word like that
