I discovered a cure.

00:00:18,728 --> 00:00:19,936
They laughed at me.

10
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:22,188
Fuck them all.

[Firecracker] Heavens to Betsy!

What's that smell? It's Soldier Boy.
I can smell him all over you.

13
00:00:26,444 --> 00:00:28,862
- Where's Noir?
- He just disappears every afternoon.

14
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,447
Won't say where he's going.
Won't say shit.

- [Black Noir] <i>I thought we were friends.</i>

17
00:00:34,452 --> 00:00:36,870
I needed a win from Homelander,
Edgar was it.

18
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:39,414
If we get the V1 first,
we save Annie, we save Kimiko.

19
00:00:39,415 --> 00:00:40,707
If Homelander gets it, he's immortal.

The V1 wasn't here.

Just fucking do it already.

to a divine rebranding.

Sir, great point.

We're just trying to ease people into it.

68
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:54,883
No, no, no. We need to prepare America

- [Homelander] Mm.
- Religion is not about being meek.

75
00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:08,938

Mm. Second coming?

Let's be clear, I am not the son of God.

85
00:03:31,754 --> 00:03:34,380
Yeah, well, of course.

86
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:38,635
Many people believe that Jesus
is both God incarnate and the son.

00:03:38,636 --> 00:03:39,928
Well, that's just confusing.

Not a book.

97
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:07,497
The book.

98
00:04:07,498 --> 00:04:10,167
The Homelander Bible.

[quietly] What the fuck?

101
00:04:17,216 --> 00:04:20,426
It's got the Old Testament,
the New Testament,

102
00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:24,597
and the Brand New American Testament,

103
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:27,016
written by A.I. trained on the works
of Pat Robertson.

104
00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:30,436
See, we need to pass the torch, sir,

105
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:33,022
from Jesus to you.

106
00:04:33,023 --> 00:04:37,235
Sir, we don't get more than one chance
at a first impression.

107
00:04:37,236 --> 00:04:42,573
Are we really gonna rush
something this important?

108
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:46,078
- We ain't Arby's, after all.
- No.

109
00:04:47,246 --> 00:04:49,540
We're the Cheesecake Factory.

110
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:54,211
[sighs] Okay.

111
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,589
We'll do it your way.

112
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,759
Thank you.

113
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,513
You do realize
this kind of sudden religious upheaval

114
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:08,558
is likely to generate
widespread civil unrest?

115

[Firecracker] Local law
should be able to handle the suburbs,

116

but we could use extra hands
in major metros.

stationed overseas.

118

126
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,223
- You get used to it.
- You seem to have.

127
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:50,808
City life seems to suit you.

128
00:05:50,809 --> 00:05:52,436
I guess.

129
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:56,856

130
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,858
Well, I was surprised you answered.

131
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:01,778
It's been a while,
and, uh, I said things I regret.

132
00:06:01,779 --> 00:06:02,821
We both did.

133
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:09,744
You remember when you used to
stop by the church after school?

134
00:06:09,745 --> 00:06:12,705
Use your powers
to light our candles? [laughs]

135
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,541
I remember staying for supper.

136
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:18,669
Oh, man, those Fish Fry Fridays.

137
00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:20,296
I never liked eating alone.

138
00:06:20,297 --> 00:06:23,842
Or were you making sure
I got at least one hot square a day?

139
00:06:26,929 --> 00:06:28,679
Reverend, is something the matter?

140
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,184
I'm embarrassed to bug you
with all of this, but, um,

141
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,645
the last couple of weeks have been rough.

142
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:38,856
We've been bleeding congregants
to the Democratic Church of America,

143
00:06:38,857 --> 00:06:41,485
and what folks are sticking around,
they're scared.

144
00:06:42,236 --> 00:06:45,238
- Why?
- 'Cause last Sunday, somebody, um,

145
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:48,449
melted our stained glass window of Mary.

146
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,618
- Melted it?
- Mm-hmm.

147
00:06:50,619 --> 00:06:54,038
It was our local Supe, Praying Mantis.

148
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:56,874
He sprayed acid out of his butt.

149
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:59,460
- I mean, his... his glands, his whatever.
- Yeah.

150
00:06:59,461 --> 00:07:01,712
- I know him.
- It was a message.

151
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:05,967
I called the sheriff. I called the mayor.
I called half of Florida.

152
00:07:05,968 --> 00:07:07,677
You're all I got left.

153
00:07:07,678 --> 00:07:09,262
[sighs]

154
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:11,013
Reverend, I don't know what I could do.

155
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:13,599
[Reverend Dupree] Well,
you got to be able to do something.

156
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,853
You're Homelander's right hand.

157
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:20,941
Homelander's not too keen
on being challenged.

158
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,695
Why not just pay
the franchise fee and join?

159
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:27,739
Honey, we can barely afford
to pay our water bill.

160
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:33,327
Besides, the Democratic Church of America?

161
00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:36,080
God does not favor
one nation over another.

162
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:38,249
- Doesn't he, though? [chuckles]
- No.

163
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:41,295
Name one way God's ever blessed Canada.
[chuckles]

164
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:48,969
Just 'cause Homelander tells you
that the sky is red does not make it so.

165
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:55,099
You still have that, uh,
that Jesus action figure?

166
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,225
[Firecracker laughs]

167
00:07:56,226 --> 00:07:58,144
I'm surprised you remember that.

168
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,229
How could I forget it? You carried it
with you everywhere you went.

169
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:02,190
- [laughs]
- You almost wore the face off the thing.

170
00:08:02,191 --> 00:08:04,359
Do you still carry him?

171
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:07,946
[gentle music playing]

172
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:11,240
It's complicated.

173
00:08:11,241 --> 00:08:13,410
No, it's... I don't think it is.

174
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:17,455
Homelander is a... he's a great American.

175
00:08:17,456 --> 00:08:21,751
He can stop bullets, he can fly,
and do amazing things.

176
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,711
Those aren't miracles.

177
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:26,256
And he is not God.

178
00:08:27,341 --> 00:08:31,135
If you're the same Misty Tucker Gray
that I taught the Bible to over fish,

179
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,222
I think you know it, too.

183
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:50,571
We ain't doing that again.

184
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:53,199
[laughs] That's what you said
the last six times.

185
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,409
No, I really mean it this time.

186
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:56,620
[sighs]

187
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:02,375
You seem a little out of it. Did you nut?

188
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:03,876
'Cause usually you nut.

189
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,045
[sighs]

190
00:09:07,673 --> 00:09:09,341
Were you baptized?

191
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,429
Yeah, in front of half of Chestnut Hill.

192
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:17,765
Governor Sproul did the honors.

193
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:20,476
My family kept up appearances, of course.

194
00:09:20,477 --> 00:09:22,561
Then we never set foot in church again.

195
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:25,481
I had lunch today with
the reverend who baptized me.

196
00:09:25,482 --> 00:09:28,527
He's been getting heat
to switch over to our church.

197
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:32,780
You think Homelander might be open
to going easy on him?

198
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:35,992
Just... give him a little more time?

199
00:09:35,993 --> 00:09:40,414
I wouldn't ask if it was just anybody,
but that man practically raised me.

200
00:09:42,124 --> 00:09:43,750
So you didn't nut?

201
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:50,339
You know, this whole
Homelander as God shit, it's...

202
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:51,717
it's fucking ridiculous.

203
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:54,176
Really? You think so?

204
00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:58,139
If he's the second coming,
then what does that make me? Joseph?

205
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,641
I mean, talk about
the biggest cuck in history.

206
00:10:00,642 --> 00:10:04,228
Man trades his best cow
to bag some hot-ass virgin,

207
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:09,317
and then God comes and squirts
his baby gravy up her meat wallet.

208
00:10:09,318 --> 00:10:10,777
Fuck that.

209
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:14,864
I guess I've been struggling
with where to place

210
00:10:14,865 --> 00:10:18,367
Homelander in my heart
in relation to Jesus and the Lord.

211
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,870
Okay.

212
00:10:20,871 --> 00:10:22,413
Of course I worship Homelander.

213
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:25,541
I mean, he's always been a god to me.

214
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:27,043
Look, I'll tell you this.

215
00:10:27,044 --> 00:10:28,670
If there is a God...

216
00:10:30,464 --> 00:10:32,299
...sure as hell
didn't come out of my balls.

217
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:35,634
- I got to go.
- Where you off to?

218
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:36,970
L.A.

219
00:10:38,764 --> 00:10:40,307

Hello?

226
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:57,574
Does Homelander know you're here?

227
00:10:58,658 --> 00:10:59,909
Yeah, of course.

228
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:03,496
Some of our church's followers
generously donated their milk

229
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,164
for our savior's sustenance.

230
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:08,126
I mean, he got to get this liquid gold
from somewhere, am I right? [laughing]

231
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:10,753
You need something?

232
00:11:10,754 --> 00:11:12,254
Where's Homelander?

233
00:11:12,255 --> 00:11:14,423
Oh, uh, he didn't tell you?

234
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:16,258
Yeah, he had to fly off to L.A.

235
00:11:16,259 --> 00:11:18,386
Strange he didn't mention anything.

236
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:20,805
Well, I've been real busy
working for his glory,

237
00:11:20,806 --> 00:11:22,390
so not much time for chitchat.

238
00:11:22,391 --> 00:11:23,474
Of course.

239
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:26,727
Look at us, a regular Peter and John,
just bearing witness

240
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:28,062
- and spreading the gospel.
- [sighs]

241
00:11:28,063 --> 00:11:29,021
A real blessing.

242
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:31,232
- Amen. A real...
- Amen.

243
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:34,902
- ...blessing.
- Oh, uh, by the way,

244
00:11:34,903 --> 00:11:39,740
after our meeting, I checked in
on the timeline of that Homelander Bible,

245
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:43,703
and, uh, the printers were happy
to rush it to make Easter.

246
00:11:44,788 --> 00:11:47,123
Well, ain't you full of get-up-and-go.

247
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:50,084
Thing is, they said it wasn't a problem.

248
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:54,631
So, I wondered why you were so bent
on holding it up.

249
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:57,758
I wasn't.

250
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,220
See, I just wanted to make sure
everything was just right.

251
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:06,016
Listen, if you are ever
feeling any doubts,

252
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:07,852
come to me.

253
00:12:07,853 --> 00:12:10,188
I can be a warm shoulder
and a friendly ear.

254
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:13,399
Well, bless your heart.

255
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,401
[unsettling music playing]

256
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:17,446
I'll do that.

257
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:22,116
What'd you want to talk
to Homelander about?

258
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:23,492
Maybe I can help.

259
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:26,371
That is so kind of you.

260
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:29,124
But it wasn't important.

Um...

264
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:45,723
Got a tip from our southeast stringer.

265
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:49,560
Praying Mantis raided
half a dozen churches in Daytona.

266
00:12:49,561 --> 00:12:51,354
Was one of 'em Holy Baptist?

267
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:57,860
The man upstairs wants us-- you--
to run with it top of show.

268
00:12:57,861 --> 00:13:02,072
He thinks with it being your home church
and all, it'll make a strong statement.

269
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:04,075
So I'll have Chris load the new graphics?

270
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:06,911

Holy Baptist of Daytona.

277
00:13:27,224 --> 00:13:29,016
It was the church I grew up in.

278
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:31,478
Sang my hymns from the pews there
every Sunday.

279
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:33,980
But that church...

- What do you mean?

349
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:35,721
You're acting up there. Stop acting.

350
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:37,514
Stop acting.

351
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:41,518
Don't act. Don't.

352
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,730
Because I don't need an actor.

353
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:46,315
I need Barry Gibb.

354
00:17:46,316 --> 00:17:48,442
You're right, boss. I'm sorry.

355
00:17:48,443 --> 00:17:51,361
My process has been all over the map.
I just...

356
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:53,030
This scene hits a little close to home.

357
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:54,198
[sighs]

358
00:17:54,199 --> 00:17:56,700
All right, let me guess.
The egomaniac we're talking about,

359
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:58,243
that's someone in your life?

360
00:17:58,244 --> 00:17:59,495
Someone I work with.

361
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:02,164
In my... day job.

362
00:18:02,165 --> 00:18:03,248
All right. What are you doing? So quit.

363
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,918
There's no way this gig is more important
than the fucking theater.

364
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:07,252
I thought this guy was my brother,

365
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:10,964
but he straight-up hijacked something
I did and took all the credit for it.

366
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,342
All right.

367
00:18:14,344 --> 00:18:17,930
I've been trying to keep this
on the D.L., but...

368
00:18:17,931 --> 00:18:19,640
in addition to my theater work,

369
00:18:19,641 --> 00:18:22,434
I also happen to be
a massive feature director.

370
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,102
Four Saturn Awards to prove it.

371
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,855
So, I was working on this little film,
I don't know, you may have heard of it,

372
00:18:26,856 --> 00:18:28,774
called <i>Dawn of the Seven.</i>

373
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,777
Billion dollar gross, but who's counting.

374
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:35,239
There was this fucking guy, the Deep,

375
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,118
he just kept upstaging everyone
with his trite, shitty improvs.

376
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,829
I heard he's a real baby.

377
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,998
He is a Jared Leto-level baby bitch.

378
00:18:44,999 --> 00:18:48,418
But you got to put people like that
in their place, right?

379
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:52,339
So, whoever is upstaging you,
you fucking upstage them right back.

380
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:53,841
- Okay?
- Yeah.

381
00:18:53,842 --> 00:18:54,925
All right.

382
00:18:54,926 --> 00:18:56,343
You got this, bubbeleh.

383
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,554
[lighthearted music playing]

384
00:18:58,555 --> 00:19:01,223
[computer voice]
<i>Testing. Testing. Bitch. Bitch.</i>

385
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:03,016
- So great you're here, bro.
- <i>Alpha. Sigma. Beta.</i>

386
00:19:03,017 --> 00:19:06,854
Yes, well, we need to meet young men
where they are

387
00:19:06,855 --> 00:19:09,648
if we plan to usher them
into the fold of our Lord.

388
00:19:09,649 --> 00:19:10,941
Mm. Totes McGotes.

389
00:19:10,942 --> 00:19:13,485
So, listen, you know, I've got some ideas

390
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:16,321
about how to take this whole
church thing to the next level.

391
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:17,406
Oh, yeah?

392
00:19:17,407 --> 00:19:20,660
So you know how communion wafers
taste like dried shit?

393
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:24,538
What if they were Nilla wafers instead.

394
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:26,039
Ah?

395
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,750
Oh, yeah, and if you could
throw in a commandment

396
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:31,796
about how it's not cool
to try and bone another bro's girl.

397
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:36,049
We have that. That already exists.

398
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:38,176
Great minds then, eh? [laughs]

399
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,262
Point is, me and Homelander,
we go way back.

400
00:19:40,263 --> 00:19:41,763
I know what he likes, doesn't like,

401
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:44,141
so you ever want to bounce
some ideas back--

402
00:19:44,142 --> 00:19:45,392
Don't listen to him, bro.

403
00:19:45,393 --> 00:19:47,936
Oh, shit!

404
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,146
He talks.

405
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:51,315
- No, he does not.
- He's not trying to help you.

406
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:52,774
He's like those fish who suck on whales.

407
00:19:52,775 --> 00:19:54,651
[scoffs] You talking about a suckerfish?

408
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:59,072
He latches onto every new Supe--
Starlight, me, Sage.

409
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:02,534
He pretends he's the guy,
but he's not the guy. He's a joke.

410
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:06,580
That smell on his breath? It's because
he's been clam diving, on clams.

411
00:20:06,581 --> 00:20:08,498
What? I have not done that.

412
00:20:08,499 --> 00:20:10,876
- I have definitely never done that.
- [Black Noir] Look, if you

413
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:14,087
really want to impress Homelander,
bring me onstage for Easter.

414
00:20:14,088 --> 00:20:16,423
Homelander can heal me.
I'll get my voice back.

415
00:20:16,424 --> 00:20:17,967
And then, I'll fly.

416
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:21,845
- You know I can fly, right?
- That's so fucking stupid, bro!

417
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:24,932
Well, now, I'm gonna have to run this
by Homelander, but, uh,

418
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:26,516
an honest to God faith healing?

419
00:20:26,517 --> 00:20:29,353
That's like a nine-point bump
with Pentecostals right there.

420
00:20:29,354 --> 00:20:32,315
[laughs] Goddamn.

421
00:20:35,193 --> 00:20:37,195
[lighthearted music playing]

422
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,582
[Adam] There's my guy.

423
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,460
Little pep in the step, huh?

424
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:58,215
Sir, I did what you said,
and I upstaged that fuckhead at work.

425
00:20:58,216 --> 00:20:59,591
I'm proud of you.

426
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,970
Now, that's exactly how I handled
that motherfucker Paul Rudd.

427
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:04,262
He's not who you think he is.

428
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,722
I appreciate the help, boss.

429
00:21:05,723 --> 00:21:07,432
[stammers, chuckles]

430
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:08,684
Oh, my God, kid. You know what?

431
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:11,269
Keep this between us,
but you know Vought Studios

432
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:14,064
hung me out to dry
after they shelved <i>Training A-Train?</i>

433
00:21:14,065 --> 00:21:15,691
- [grunts softly]
- Oh, yeah.

434
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:18,694
And at first,
I drowned my sorrows in crack,

435
00:21:18,695 --> 00:21:22,614
nitrous, huffing glue, huffing paint,
paint thinners, cough medicine, guns,

436
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:24,157
high-risk sex, codeine.

437
00:21:24,158 --> 00:21:25,952
Do you ever fuck on codeine?

438
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:28,370
[sighs]

439
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:29,997
But that's not the answer.

440
00:21:29,998 --> 00:21:32,290
[gentle music playing]

441
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,918
This play.

442
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:36,670
It saved me.

443
00:21:36,671 --> 00:21:38,338
You saved me.

444
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:40,340
Wow. Thank you.

445
00:21:40,341 --> 00:21:43,468
No. Kid, thank you.

446
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:45,054
'Cause I got some big news.

447
00:21:46,139 --> 00:21:47,222
We're going to Broadway.

448
00:21:47,223 --> 00:21:49,808
[laughs] Yes.
No more mindless studio bullshit.

449
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:52,519
I can finally be the artist
I always dreamed of, and you...

450
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,231
Kid, you have no idea,
but you're gonna be a fucking star.

451
00:21:56,232 --> 00:22:00,820
So, you ditch that office gig 'cause
you and I, we are gonna save the world.

452
00:22:02,447 --> 00:22:03,530
With our talent.

453
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:06,366
Oh, my God. You have no idea
how much this means to me!

454
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:09,454
[chuckles, grunts] I love you, kid.

455
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,374
You start your vocal warm-ups.

456
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:16,501
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna drop a deuce.

457
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:18,087
Okay.

458
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,758

Don't you fucking "hey bro" me.
What the fuck is wrong with you?

482
00:23:33,704 --> 00:23:36,039
Nothing. Why? What's wrong with you?

483
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,584
I call you a "clam diver," and you send
an eel to ass-murder Adam Bourke?

484
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:41,962
Did something terrible happen
at your play rehearsal today?

485
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:43,839
Which is definitely not your job.

486
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,883
The lead producer's stepping away.
They're shuttering the production.

487
00:23:46,884 --> 00:23:48,718
[scoffs] He had it coming.

488
00:23:48,719 --> 00:23:51,096
Fucker didn't use my improvs
in <i>Dawn of the Seven.</i>

489
00:23:51,097 --> 00:23:53,056
He believed in me, you fuckwit!

490
00:23:53,057 --> 00:23:55,976
And for what? 'Cause I fucking
upstaged you with Oh Father?

Here's what gonna happen now.

493
00:23:58,896 --> 00:24:03,191
You are gonna fucking do
whatever I say whenever I say it,

494
00:24:03,192 --> 00:24:06,695
or I'm gonna tell Homelander
you were in some pussy play,

495
00:24:06,696 --> 00:24:08,905
which is a definite conflict of interest

496
00:24:08,906 --> 00:24:11,951
since Homelander outlawed
the National Endowment for the Arts.

497
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:17,498
You have nothing to say? Nice.

498
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:21,042

of that Meisner technique, huh?

Okay, and why don't you tell him that?

518
00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:10,634
I have.

00:25:10,635 --> 00:25:15,431
Maybe we just don't like the same...
steak, you know?

520
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,768
Jesus Christ.

521
00:25:19,769 --> 00:25:22,270
Has Butcher ever washed this thing? Oh.

522
00:25:22,271 --> 00:25:25,023
Ugh, that thing is, like,
glazed in dog semen.

523
00:25:25,024 --> 00:25:26,358
Like a come doughnut.

524
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,110
Come-nut? Did I just invent a new word?

525
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:31,821
You know what? I am gonna
do us all a favor and wash this.

526
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:35,242
Terror, your boyfriend is about to become
a virgin all over again.

527
00:25:35,243 --> 00:25:36,326
Oof.

528
00:25:36,327 --> 00:25:37,995
[Kimiko] Good boy.

529
00:25:39,997 --> 00:25:41,957
[door closes]

530
00:25:41,958 --> 00:25:43,458
[lighthearted music playing]

531
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:46,170
[quiet squeaking in distance]

532
00:25:50,967 --> 00:25:52,551
[wheels squeaking]

533
00:25:56,222 --> 00:25:57,555
[Mother's Milk] The fuck is that?

534
00:25:57,556 --> 00:25:59,557
You finally building yourself a fuck-bot?

535
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,686
Something me and Frenchie
are working on. [sighs]

536
00:26:02,687 --> 00:26:05,063
Proper preparation and planning, my son.

537
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:06,564
None of my fucking business, got it.

538
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,233
Yeah, that's the one.

539
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:10,568
- Any leads on Bombsight?
- Not a damn thing.

540
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,570
[Butcher] Well, he's an unbreakable cunt
that flies through the air.

541
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:13,780
How hard can it be?

542
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:16,825
Well, if it's so easy,
why don't you look for him?

543
00:26:16,826 --> 00:26:19,202
I've hit every single dead end
and then some.

544
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:21,871
How about Legend?
That old bastard knows everyone.

545
00:26:21,872 --> 00:26:22,956
He's in the wind.

546
00:26:22,957 --> 00:26:25,918
And if I had as much shit on Vought
as he did, I'd fuck off, too.

547
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,420
Ah, shit.

548
00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:29,754
Wait, wait, wait.

549
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:31,131
- Oi. Terror, no!
- Hey, hey, hey!

550
00:26:31,132 --> 00:26:32,757
- Get down. No, Terror. Oi.
- Good boy. Good boy.

551
00:26:32,758 --> 00:26:34,467
Oi, oi, oi, oi. No.

552
00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:36,761
You can't have no chocolate, mate.

553
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:38,556
Yeah, get your own chocolate.

554
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,144
[Mother's Milk] Mmm.

555
00:26:44,145 --> 00:26:45,271
What?

556
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:47,856
- Three Mississippi rule.
- Bloody hell.

557
00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:49,607
I never thought I'd see the day.

558
00:26:49,608 --> 00:26:51,609
It's got a fucking pubic hair on it
and all.

559
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:53,404
Tasty, too. Hmm?

560
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:56,906
[laughs]

561
00:26:56,907 --> 00:26:59,117
You know what's funny?

562
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:02,996
Here we are, parked in the middle of hell,

563
00:27:02,997 --> 00:27:06,791
and I've never slept or shit
so good in my entire life.

564
00:27:06,792 --> 00:27:09,294
- What's different?
- Well, like you,

565
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:12,715
I just finally realized
that I'm already dead.

566
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:20,221
And once I just gave up that stress
of needing to stay alive, it's like,

567
00:27:20,222 --> 00:27:21,806
shit got easier.

568
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,850
You know, I spent my whole life

569
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:27,270
going after Soldier Boy
for what he did to my family.

570
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:29,398
Yet he's immortal?

571
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:33,568
He's immune? [scoffs]

572
00:27:33,569 --> 00:27:35,862
What kind of fucking cosmic joke is that?

573
00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:37,740
So, you tell me, Butcher.

574
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:41,284
Why should I keep going?

575
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:45,830
Well, you keep going
for Monique, for Janine.

576
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:47,248
They're better off without me.

577
00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:50,210
How can a man so smart be so fucking daft?

578
00:27:50,211 --> 00:27:51,461
They are.

579
00:27:51,462 --> 00:27:54,297
And I'm better off without them.

580
00:27:54,298 --> 00:27:58,218
Because if I thought that
there was a snowball's chance in hell

581
00:27:58,219 --> 00:27:59,929
that I might see them again...

582
00:28:02,139 --> 00:28:07,770
...then I might be too scared to do
what you and me both need me to do.

583
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:16,153
[footsteps pattering]

584
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:18,655
[object clatters in distance]

585
00:28:18,656 --> 00:28:21,282
[lighthearted music playing]

586
00:28:21,283 --> 00:28:23,285
[Terror panting]

587
00:28:27,456 --> 00:28:28,498
[Frenchie] Oh.

588
00:28:28,499 --> 00:28:30,834
<i>Bonsoir, mon toutou.</i>

589
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:33,086
You wonder what am I doing? [laughs]

590
00:28:33,087 --> 00:28:39,050
Oh, well, first, I made Kimiko
the perfect French ribeye.

591
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:42,137
You know, she loves my steak.

592
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:46,433
And for dessert, my <i>soufflÃ© au chocolat.</i>

593
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:48,686
It's a thing of legend.

594
00:28:53,941 --> 00:28:55,567
[Frenchie sighs]

595
00:28:55,568 --> 00:28:57,610
You know, she wants one of you.

596
00:28:57,611 --> 00:29:00,280
To... I don't know.

597
00:29:00,281 --> 00:29:03,408
What is it that you do?

598
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:06,077
Eat? Sleep? Oh, fetch.

599
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:10,457
[chuckles] I throw the ball,
you bring it back.

600
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:13,376
I throw the ball, you bring it back.

601
00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:16,171
It's a nightmare of futility.

602
00:29:16,172 --> 00:29:18,715
What would I do with one of you?

603
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:21,468
I've killed every plant I've owned.

604
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:23,636
I'd surely kill you, too.

605
00:29:23,637 --> 00:29:24,638
[grunts softly]

606
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:26,765
[sighs]

607
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,269
She deserves peace.

608
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,814
A normal life.

609
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:36,567
But I...

610
00:29:38,486 --> 00:29:41,154
[melancholy music playing]

611
00:29:41,155 --> 00:29:43,824
I don't know how to give her this.

612
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:49,245
If I even can.

613
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:50,498
[grunts softly]

614
00:29:51,499 --> 00:29:55,169
- [timer ringing]
- Oh! Oh, la, la, la, la.

615
00:29:58,547 --> 00:30:01,799
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no. Aw...

616
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,093
<i>Fils de pute!</i>

[sighs]

618
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,014
[inhales sharply]

619
00:30:08,015 --> 00:30:10,141
I need fresh air. You want to come?

620
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:11,267
Outside?

621
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:12,852
No?

622
00:30:12,853 --> 00:30:14,355
Okay.

623
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:21,027
[Hughie] If you and M.M. still think--

624
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:22,654
[Butcher] Oh, for fuck's sakes,
Hughie, knock it off

625
00:30:22,655 --> 00:30:25,282
with this V1 shite.
You're doing me fucking head in.

626
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:30,370
Oi. Terror. Cut it out. Come on.

627
00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:32,497
Now, listen, if we do find that stuff,

628
00:30:32,498 --> 00:30:35,041
we're not making any fucking vaccines
out of it, all right?

629
00:30:35,042 --> 00:30:36,876
We're not
the department of fucking health.

630
00:30:36,877 --> 00:30:39,212
We burn that shit before
Homelander gets his paws on it,

631
00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:41,172
- and that's that.
- Well, if you want to kill yourself,

632
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,633
knock yourself out, but why do you
have to decide for the rest of us?

633
00:30:43,634 --> 00:30:45,510
Oh, 'cause I'm fucking right!

634
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:46,886
'Cause I've always been right!

635
00:30:46,887 --> 00:30:49,138
I've been telling you lot
from the fucking start

636
00:30:49,139 --> 00:30:51,766
the sky is falling, and guess what.

637
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:53,393
The sky fucking fell.

638
00:30:53,394 --> 00:30:56,521
- Well, you kind of helped bring it down.
- Oh, don't give me that bollocks.

639
00:30:56,522 --> 00:31:00,024
Listen, Homelander thinks
he's a fucking god.

640
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:02,777
Once he becomes immortal,
he's gonna start killing like one,

641
00:31:02,778 --> 00:31:05,196
and we are talking millions of people.

642
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:09,200
Now, are you telling me
you're honestly happy to risk all of that

643
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:11,911
for a life on the run with your girl,

644
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:15,249
knowing that you could've stopped it?

645
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:19,169
You can live with that, can you?

646
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:23,215
What if it was Becca?

647
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,468
You'd just let her die?

648
00:31:28,554 --> 00:31:30,556
[tense music playing]

649
00:31:31,974 --> 00:31:33,892
I did let her die.

650
00:31:34,977 --> 00:31:36,769
Look.

651
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:39,606
I know that Homelander comes first.

652
00:31:39,607 --> 00:31:40,773
I really do.

653
00:31:40,774 --> 00:31:44,194
All I'm asking is that we try.

654
00:31:45,613 --> 00:31:47,573
Annie and Kimiko deserve that much.

655
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,658
[garbage can clatters]

656
00:31:50,659 --> 00:31:52,244
Oi, Terror, no!

657
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,372
Oi, get out of there.
Oh, bloody hell. Is that chocolate?

658
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:58,249
Isn't chocolate bad for dogs?

659
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:00,168
For a dog this old,
it's fucking lethal. Oi!

660
00:32:00,169 --> 00:32:03,296
Frenchie, you cunt!
Get me some hydrogen peroxide, would you?

661
00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:05,840
Okay, we have some in the first aid kit.
Give me one second.

662
00:32:05,841 --> 00:32:07,925
- What happened?
- You poisoned me fucking dog.

663
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:10,720
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- What's going on?

664
00:32:10,721 --> 00:32:12,180
Look, all you need is charcoal.

665
00:32:12,181 --> 00:32:13,556
- [Kimiko] We should call a vet.
- [Mother's Milk] They're gonna tell you

666
00:32:13,557 --> 00:32:14,849
- you need charcoal.
- [Hughie] Guys, we got this.

667
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:16,976
- Just give us some room.
- I'll hold his mouth open, you pour.

668
00:32:16,977 --> 00:32:20,063
Right? On the count of three.
One, two, three.

669
00:32:20,064 --> 00:32:21,273
Sorry, buddy.

670
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:23,108
There you go.

671
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:26,235

[Terror gagging, wheezing]

673
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:30,365
- [Butcher] Oof. That's it.
- Ew.

674
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:31,699
That's it. Good boy. You're all right.

675
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:33,452
You're gonna be all right, boy.

676
00:32:35,287 --> 00:32:36,914
[sighs] Fucking hell.

677
00:32:41,001 --> 00:32:44,962
- Hey. You want some turkey?
- [Terror panting]

678
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:48,549
[distorted] Well, first,
you got to fuck me.

679
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:51,011
Then I'll give you the turkey.

680
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,059
Oi.

681
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,479
There he is, eh.

682
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:04,023
Oi. Hey, were you
having a dream, were you?

683
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:05,234
Was it a goody?

[knock on door]

00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:09,195
How's he doing?

686
00:33:09,196 --> 00:33:11,031
[Butcher] Yeah, he's all right.

687
00:33:12,366 --> 00:33:14,617
Thank you for, uh...

688
00:33:14,618 --> 00:33:17,079
Yeah. It's all good.

[gentle music playing]

Oi.

Hughie.

692
00:33:33,137 --> 00:33:35,596
Listen, uh...

693
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:38,558
If we do find that V1,

694
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:40,769
and if it don't fuck us, uh...

695
00:33:42,271 --> 00:33:43,939
...y-you can have some.

696
00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:49,736
For Annie and, uh... Kimiko.

697
00:33:49,737 --> 00:33:51,488
What about you?

698
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:56,868
Oi, but as soon as Frenchie's
got that shite sorted,

699
00:33:56,869 --> 00:33:58,996
we're using it, all right? Ready or not.

700
00:34:04,752 --> 00:34:06,253
Ooh.

701
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,132
[softly] Yeah.

702
00:34:12,843 --> 00:34:14,303
What you looking at?

703
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:17,347
Nothing.

704
00:34:21,852 --> 00:34:25,939
And as for you, don't you ever
fucking do that to me again, all right?

705
00:34:26,774 --> 00:34:28,691
Good boy.

706
00:34:28,692 --> 00:34:33,780
Now, I caught Blondie trying to give
your wank-plush the boil wash,

707
00:34:33,781 --> 00:34:35,948
but I know how you love the crunchy goods.

708
00:34:35,949 --> 00:34:39,495
Yes, I do. I know how you love
those crunchy goods. Yeah.

709
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:44,583
[squeaking rhythmically]

710
00:34:51,882 --> 00:34:56,719
You do realize this kind of sudden
religious upheaval is likely

711
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,846
to generate widespread civil unrest?

712
00:34:58,847 --> 00:35:00,932
Local law can handle
the suburbs, but we could use

713
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:02,141
extra hands in major metros.

714
00:35:02,142 --> 00:35:04,852
All right, we'll recall
all the Supes stationed overseas.

715
00:35:04,853 --> 00:35:07,814
American heroes should be
protecting America,

716
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:10,107
not Who-Gives-A-Fuckistan.

717
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:12,026
- [Firecracker laughs]
- Great idea.

718
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:14,738
[intriguing music playing]

719
00:35:23,038 --> 00:35:25,040
- Where to?
- Crime analytics.

720
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,583
[elevator bell chimes]

721
00:35:27,584 --> 00:35:29,211
[elevator doors slide closed]

722
00:35:31,004 --> 00:35:33,382
- That was thrilling, wasn't it?
- [elevator beeping steadily]

723
00:35:34,842 --> 00:35:37,094
What a bright future we have ahead of us.

724
00:35:37,886 --> 00:35:39,638
It was a real Guccione piss party.

725
00:35:40,722 --> 00:35:44,601
Imagine how much more exciting it'll be
when Homelander becomes immortal.

726
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:47,019
Mm.

727
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:49,356
Have you found the V1?

728
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:52,442
No.

729
00:35:53,193 --> 00:35:55,736
Homelander hasn't gotten anything
out of Stan Edgar?

730
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:58,907
No. But I haven't had a crack at him yet.

731
00:36:00,033 --> 00:36:01,117
[chuckles]

732
00:36:01,118 --> 00:36:03,411
- [elevator bell chimes]
- [doors slide open]

733
00:36:03,412 --> 00:36:05,330
[intriguing music playing]

734
00:36:06,623 --> 00:36:08,207
[doors slide closed]

735
00:36:08,208 --> 00:36:09,750
[door opens]

736
00:36:09,751 --> 00:36:12,628
Jesus, give me a little personal space,
will you, Garth?

737
00:36:12,629 --> 00:36:13,963
[groans]

738
00:36:13,964 --> 00:36:17,550
Twenty-four-seven agents must be hard
for someone so into scat play.

739
00:36:17,551 --> 00:36:19,093
You realize I do actually work?

740
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:23,556
I was this close to convincing the FCC
to pull every broadcast license but VNN.

741
00:36:23,557 --> 00:36:26,642
Homelander feels this is more important.

742
00:36:26,643 --> 00:36:28,311
[sighs]

743
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:30,313
What now?

744
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:31,898
The president and I
stand by this decision.

745
00:36:31,899 --> 00:36:34,025
We need our American Supes
here in America.

746
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:35,359
[man over phone speaking angrily]

747
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,487
Well, isn't it kind of sort of
your fault for being invaded?

748
00:36:38,488 --> 00:36:40,615
You might as well have been
wearing a short skirt.

749
00:36:40,616 --> 00:36:43,201
Man, those Ukrainians sure have
a fucking mouth on them.

750
00:36:44,286 --> 00:36:46,871
Remember, you're doing the Lord's work.

751
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,206
Word's out, Vought's stock is tanking.

752
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:52,126
The international markets
are in freefall, and you're not

753
00:36:52,127 --> 00:36:55,254
- the least bit concerned?
- It's not about what I think.

754
00:36:55,255 --> 00:36:56,632
It's what the man wants.

755
00:36:58,133 --> 00:36:59,967
It's always what the man wants.

756
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:02,179
[dramatic music playing]

757
00:37:05,515 --> 00:37:07,183
You want a drink?

758
00:37:07,184 --> 00:37:09,477
So, we're at the Climate Change Summit
in ReykjavÃ­k,

759
00:37:09,478 --> 00:37:12,897
when the Swiss chancellor says
we should all race our Gulfstreams.

760
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:15,441
The amount of CO2 we splooged out?

761
00:37:15,442 --> 00:37:19,905
The air was chewy the next day, lolz.
[laughs]

762
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:25,034
Come on. What do you want from me, Sage?

763
00:37:25,035 --> 00:37:26,911
What makes you think
I want anything from you?

764
00:37:26,912 --> 00:37:29,872
You haven't called me the poster child
for late-term abortion once today.

765
00:37:29,873 --> 00:37:32,167
Truth be told, you're not the one I want.

766
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:35,795
I know you know what Homelander's doing.

767
00:37:35,796 --> 00:37:38,589
- [Bashley] He's going after the V1.
- Wait, what?!

768
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:40,424
And if he gets any--

769
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:42,510
- He lives forever.
- What is V1?

770
00:37:42,511 --> 00:37:45,137
And what do you mean
Homelander lives forever? [gasps]

771
00:37:45,138 --> 00:37:47,640
I've done what I can to make sure
he doesn't find any.

772
00:37:47,641 --> 00:37:50,017
How do you know about this and I don't?

773
00:37:50,018 --> 00:37:52,020
Have you two been talking without me?

774
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:56,148
Homelander is an open baby book,
but Soldier Boy is tricky.

775
00:37:56,149 --> 00:37:57,525
I need you to read his mind.

776
00:37:57,526 --> 00:37:59,652
What he knows, where they're headed next,

777
00:37:59,653 --> 00:38:03,615
and most importantly, if Soldier Boy
is warming up to his sadistic rugrat.

778
00:38:05,117 --> 00:38:06,325
Okay. I'm in.

779
00:38:06,326 --> 00:38:08,202
The fuck you are.

780
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:10,913
- We're not conspiring against Homelander.
- [Bashley] Hey.

781
00:38:10,914 --> 00:38:13,458
Don't forget the Aung San Suu Kyi quote
tramp stamped on our ass.

782
00:38:14,751 --> 00:38:16,293
"The only real prison is fear."

783
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:18,963
- No, the only real prison is prison.
- Ashley--

784
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:22,008
What do you think happens to you if I die?

785
00:38:22,009 --> 00:38:23,509
I'm not about to risk my neck

786
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:26,304
because I let an overgrown boil
do my thinking for me.

787
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:29,306
Okay, fine. Just stay.

788
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:31,017
Why? So you can play more mind games?

789
00:38:31,018 --> 00:38:33,477
You gave me your answer. I heard you.

790
00:38:33,478 --> 00:38:36,355
Now, don't make me drink alone.

791
00:38:36,356 --> 00:38:38,482
[dramatic music playing]

792
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:40,985
[Ashley] I'm starving. Are you starving?

793
00:38:40,986 --> 00:38:43,571
I'd kill for a chalupa right now.

794
00:38:43,572 --> 00:38:45,114
[Bashley] I'd kill for a big, juicy dick.

795
00:38:45,115 --> 00:38:46,490
Hey, we should call Gavin.

796
00:38:46,491 --> 00:38:49,285
His girth was amazing,
and, oh, man, the amount of spunk

797
00:38:49,286 --> 00:38:51,537
he shot back here,
we looked like PepÃ© Le Pew.

798
00:38:51,538 --> 00:38:54,373
We are not booty-calling
my high school boyfriend.

799
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:56,500
[Bashley] But he was so sweet.
And Mom loved him, remember?

800
00:38:56,501 --> 00:38:58,794
Yeah, well, Mom's dead,
so she doesn't get a say,

801
00:38:58,795 --> 00:39:01,005
- and neither do you.
- What happened to her?

802
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:02,631
Cancer.

803
00:39:02,632 --> 00:39:04,383
My grandmother, too.

804
00:39:04,384 --> 00:39:07,471
What was she like? Your mother?

805
00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:11,349
Tiny. [laughs] And terrifying.

806
00:39:12,142 --> 00:39:15,019
This one bitch, Harper Hewitt,
used to make fun of my nose,

807
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:18,105
so my mom tells Mr. Hewitt
that Mrs. Hewitt

808
00:39:18,106 --> 00:39:21,484
has been railing the UPS guy,
which she was.

809
00:39:21,485 --> 00:39:24,613
That was Mom,
bringing a nuke to a knife fight.

810
00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:29,700
So, they moved.

811
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:31,495
And the rest of kindergarten was no sweat.

812
00:39:32,162 --> 00:39:36,707
My folks shot me up with V,
thinking I'd be a meal ticket.

813
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:39,168
And then, my power
turned out to be smarts.

814
00:39:39,169 --> 00:39:40,836
Which is the worst fucking one.

815
00:39:40,837 --> 00:39:42,963
Try knowing what everyone
really thinks of you all day.

816
00:39:42,964 --> 00:39:44,048
Ooh, trust me.

817
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:47,718
The thing people hate
more than just about anything

818
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,178
is feeling stupid.

819
00:39:49,179 --> 00:39:53,974
So, when a three-year-old
corrects your grammar or, oh, tells them

820
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:57,103
their "life dream yogurt shop"
is doomed to fail,

821
00:39:57,104 --> 00:39:59,021
they start to hate you, too.

822
00:39:59,022 --> 00:40:00,106
Least my parents did.

823
00:40:00,107 --> 00:40:02,025
So they dumped me at my grandma's.

824
00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:04,610
But Grandma,

825
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:08,280
she was the only one
who ever thought it was a gift.

826
00:40:08,281 --> 00:40:11,325
I would quote <i>Othello</i> to her
word for word,

827
00:40:11,326 --> 00:40:14,912
and-and... [sighs] she'd clap

828
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:16,790
and laugh her big laugh.

829
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:22,754
I'm still so pissed she is gone.

830
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:26,674
I used to want to be like my mom.

831
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:29,593
Strong. Pushy as fuck.

832
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:31,470
Didn't take shit from anyone.

833
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:33,056
You still can.

834
00:40:34,307 --> 00:40:35,725
If you help me.

835
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,854
Fuck you.

836
00:40:39,855 --> 00:40:41,689
You knew about my mom the whole time.

837
00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:43,858
You drew it out of me
just to soften me up.

838
00:40:43,859 --> 00:40:47,111
- Did it work?
- No. This is my fucking problem with you.

839
00:40:47,112 --> 00:40:49,321
I know you've been working
some big plan all year.

840
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:53,159
How am I supposed to trust you if I'm just
a pawn in your fucked-up chess game?

841
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,536
All right.

842
00:40:55,537 --> 00:40:57,289
If I tell you, will you help me?

843
00:40:58,373 --> 00:41:00,207
I would heavily consider it.

844
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:04,378
Helping Homelander take control
of the country is phase one.

845
00:41:04,379 --> 00:41:07,131
It was only ever the beginning.
Phase two is the end.

846
00:41:07,132 --> 00:41:09,259
- The end of what?
- The world.

847
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:12,928
After this Supe-killing virus
is released--

848
00:41:12,929 --> 00:41:15,682
- Wait, you want it released?
- Oh, you bet I do.

849
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:21,770
After Supes realize humans are behind it,
all hell will break loose.

850
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:25,149
Supes butchering humans,
virus butchering Supes.

851
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,152
- Oh, fucking World War Supe.
- I don't believe you.

852
00:41:28,153 --> 00:41:30,112
Swear on my grandma's soul.

853
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:32,156
Why would you possibly want that?

854
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:36,368
'Cause I'll be watching from
my cozy bunker outside Colorado Springs.

855
00:41:36,369 --> 00:41:41,707
And when it's all over,
I can read all day every day,

856
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:44,418
no one bothering me.

857
00:41:44,419 --> 00:41:47,171
Nothing but peace and quiet forever.

858
00:41:47,172 --> 00:41:49,632
[ominous music playing]

859
00:41:49,633 --> 00:41:52,009
Which is why Homelander can't survive.

860
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:55,804
God, that needy asshole
would never give me a moment's rest.

861
00:41:55,805 --> 00:41:57,473
Yeah, defeats the whole purpose.

862
00:41:57,474 --> 00:42:01,061
Don't worry. You're invited to my bunker.

863
00:42:01,978 --> 00:42:03,605
You, too, Ashley.

864
00:42:06,149 --> 00:42:08,068
[Bashley] Fuck.

865
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,489
- Would you like some knee pads?
- Sorry? What?

866
00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:16,201
You're looking at me
like you want to suck my hog.

867
00:42:18,036 --> 00:42:20,538
So I'm asking you if you would like
some knee pads.

868
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,040
[Homelander] Go easy on the little guy.

869
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:25,417
- He brought me Stan Edgar.
- [Deep] Thank you, sir.

870
00:42:25,418 --> 00:42:27,294
[Homelander] You may leave.

871
00:42:27,295 --> 00:42:29,005
[triumphant music playing]

872
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:39,723
What crawled up your shithole?

873
00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:41,100
No idea what you mean.

874
00:42:41,101 --> 00:42:43,686
When you're pissy,

875
00:42:43,687 --> 00:42:46,314
you tend to make
everybody else's lives pissy, too.

876
00:42:46,982 --> 00:42:49,817
Stan Edgar still stonewalling you?

877
00:42:49,818 --> 00:42:51,402
I've talked to him three times now.

878
00:42:51,403 --> 00:42:55,656
Says he has no idea where the V1 is.
Heart rate steady as a rock.

879
00:42:55,657 --> 00:42:57,032
I'm starting to believe him.

880
00:42:57,033 --> 00:42:59,869
That slippery fuck
used to fetch my cocaine.

881
00:43:02,914 --> 00:43:05,542
You know what? I have an idea.

882
00:43:08,003 --> 00:43:10,422
Why don't I take a crack at him?

883
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:13,173
What, you don't trust me?

884
00:43:13,174 --> 00:43:17,219
Well, you did lock me in a room
with nuclear material

885
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:19,888
and, uh, tried to stop me getting the V1,

886
00:43:19,889 --> 00:43:25,144
so I'm sure you can understand
my hesitance.

887
00:43:25,145 --> 00:43:28,105
You could've killed me at Fort Harmony,
but you didn't.

888
00:43:28,106 --> 00:43:30,524
- Maybe I feel like I owe you.
- Or maybe you're lying.

889
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:31,484
Maybe.

890
00:43:34,738 --> 00:43:36,531
[inhales deeply]

891
00:43:37,365 --> 00:43:38,742
Give me an hour.

892
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,452
I'll meet you at Edgar's cell.

893
00:43:41,453 --> 00:43:43,495
[dramatic music playing]

894
00:43:43,496 --> 00:43:45,498
[urinating]

895
00:43:50,962 --> 00:43:56,509
[Soldier Boy] My, my, how the mighty
have fucked themselves square in the ass.

896
00:43:57,344 --> 00:43:58,927
Don't shit where you eat, Stan.

897
00:43:58,928 --> 00:44:01,013
So, you've called in reinforcements.

898
00:44:01,014 --> 00:44:03,265
I wanted to see the prick
that sold me out to the Reds.

899
00:44:03,266 --> 00:44:05,726
It wasn't personal.
It was a business decision.

900
00:44:05,727 --> 00:44:08,645
We had your replacement model on the way.

901
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:12,859
Even as a toddler, Homelander showed
more promise than you ever did.

902
00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:16,320
Not that it amounted to much.

903
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:19,990
When have you ever done anything

904
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:23,077
remotely interesting or original?

905
00:44:23,078 --> 00:44:27,081
My power is absolute, Stan.

906
00:44:27,082 --> 00:44:30,167
At heights no one's even dreamed of.

907
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:32,086
I'd call that pretty fucking original.

908
00:44:32,087 --> 00:44:33,796
Nothing that the lowest speck

909
00:44:33,797 --> 00:44:37,299
of this pointless species
couldn't have thought of,

910
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:40,427
were they to be granted
your level of power.

911
00:44:40,428 --> 00:44:43,764
Why am I still alive?

912
00:44:43,765 --> 00:44:46,726
Oh, because you're useful, Stan.

913
00:44:47,727 --> 00:44:50,396
- And I always wanted a pet.
- Perhaps.

914
00:44:50,397 --> 00:44:53,732
Or is it because you are so desperate
for daddy figures

915
00:44:53,733 --> 00:44:57,903
that you can't even bring yourself
to kill the ones who hate you.

916
00:44:57,904 --> 00:45:01,282
At least that's something
he and I have in common.

917
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:03,910
Do you want to die, Stan?

918
00:45:09,374 --> 00:45:10,457
[Soldier Boy] Jesus.

919
00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:12,961
You could get pregnant
with all the eye-fucking.

920
00:45:14,421 --> 00:45:16,004
Tempe, Arizona.

921
00:45:16,005 --> 00:45:17,589
Is that supposed to mean something?

922
00:45:17,590 --> 00:45:19,842
Well, I had the eggheads
in crime analytics

923
00:45:19,843 --> 00:45:23,470
track down your granddaughter, Zoe,

924
00:45:23,471 --> 00:45:24,888
and her dad.

925
00:45:24,889 --> 00:45:26,515
They're in Tempe, Arizona.

926
00:45:26,516 --> 00:45:28,685
[tense music playing]

927
00:45:29,269 --> 00:45:31,103
So...

928
00:45:31,104 --> 00:45:33,731
where is the V1?

929
00:45:35,275 --> 00:45:38,695
As I told you, I genuinely don't know.

930
00:45:44,617 --> 00:45:47,077
But...

931
00:45:47,078 --> 00:45:48,996
I may know someone who does.

932
00:45:48,997 --> 00:45:51,875
You should go and see
Mister Marathon in L.A.

933
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:57,671
He's always had an intense interest
in Vought's history.

934
00:45:57,672 --> 00:46:00,841
It should be a delightful reunion.

935
00:46:00,842 --> 00:46:02,385
[suspenseful music playing]

936
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:06,513
- [â™ª Rosemary Clooney sings
"Hooray for Hollywood"]
- <i>â™ª Hooray for Hollywood â™ª</i>

937
00:46:06,514 --> 00:46:09,141
<i>â™ª That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood â™ª</i>

938
00:46:09,142 --> 00:46:11,685
- [siren wailing in distance]
- <i>â™ª Go out and try your luck â™ª</i>

939
00:46:11,686 --> 00:46:13,437

940
00:46:13,438 --> 00:46:15,481
<i>â™ª Hooray for Hollywood â™ª</i>

941
00:46:15,482 --> 00:46:18,192
[Mister Marathon] Homelander,
it is really, uh, really good to see you.

942
00:46:18,193 --> 00:46:20,819
Um, why-- [stammers] Uh, you know,
what-what brings you by?

943
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:23,363
- Relax. We're just here to talk.
- Yeah, yeah, great, awesome.

944
00:46:23,364 --> 00:46:25,699
And Soldier Boy, wow. Big fan, sir.

945
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:28,203
I actually, uh, popped my cherry
in your Underoos.

946
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:30,162
Nice.

947
00:46:30,163 --> 00:46:31,705
So you were part of The Seven?

948
00:46:31,706 --> 00:46:34,791
Uh, I was, I was. You know, until this one
replaced me with A-Train.

949
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:36,085
Check it out. Come on.

950
00:46:37,170 --> 00:46:39,004
Well, you're only the world's fastest man

951
00:46:39,005 --> 00:46:42,257
as long as you're the world's fastest man,
Champ, and you got slow.

952
00:46:42,258 --> 00:46:45,844
It was one race. You never gave me
the chance to win it back, boss.

953
00:46:45,845 --> 00:46:47,680
[intriguing music playing]

954
00:46:49,682 --> 00:46:51,017
Hey, check this one out.

955
00:46:52,227 --> 00:46:53,602
Grossed 35 mil.

956
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:55,145
On a $200 million budget.

957
00:46:55,146 --> 00:46:57,481
- These aren't even Vought films.
- What's the difference?

958
00:46:57,482 --> 00:47:00,400
These were made
where washed-up Supes go to die.

959
00:47:00,401 --> 00:47:02,486
Sony Pictures TV.

960
00:47:02,487 --> 00:47:03,612
It's a legit studio.

961
00:47:03,613 --> 00:47:06,073
And I save half on their TVs.

962
00:47:06,074 --> 00:47:08,158
And maybe we're not part
of the official VCU,

963
00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:12,287
and maybe we can't mention Vought
or, you know, any licensed Vought hero,

964
00:47:12,288 --> 00:47:15,457
but, hey, I'm still making magic.

965
00:47:15,458 --> 00:47:17,751
That and I, uh, I sling a little bit
on the side.

966
00:47:17,752 --> 00:47:19,461
Blow, pills, Ozempic, whatever you need.

967
00:47:19,462 --> 00:47:21,505
Fastest dealer in town. [chuckles]

968
00:47:21,506 --> 00:47:23,466
All right, come on.
The gang will be psyched to meet you.

969
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,265
Did you guys hear?
They rounded up Aziz, Macaulay,

970
00:47:31,266 --> 00:47:35,435
- Joaquin, Kiefer, Meryl.
- I also heard they got Benedict.

971
00:47:35,436 --> 00:47:36,562
- Wong or Cumberbatch?
- Both.

972
00:47:36,563 --> 00:47:39,022
- Fuck!
- I know. Dude, what the fuck, Malchemical?

973
00:47:39,023 --> 00:47:40,315
Get your boys in check, huh?

974
00:47:40,316 --> 00:47:43,151
Just 'cause I'm a Supe doesn't mean
I truck in that fascist shit.

975
00:47:43,152 --> 00:47:45,529
- We need to do something.
- Counterpoint: why?

976
00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:46,863
[Kumail] 'Cause we're storytellers, dude.

977
00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:48,323
- [Seth] Yeah.
- Our superpower

978
00:47:48,324 --> 00:47:50,117
is we inspire hearts and minds.

979
00:47:50,118 --> 00:47:51,577
Look at the characters we create:

980
00:47:51,578 --> 00:47:54,413
- Luke Skywalker, Katniss, Gandhi.
- [Will] Oh, bitch please.

981
00:47:54,414 --> 00:47:57,958
Come on, like Mark Hamill, J-Law,
and Sir Ben Kingsley

982
00:47:57,959 --> 00:48:00,669
do anything but collect
their fucking residuals.

983
00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:03,088
- They're very engaged.
- Look, here's what we do.

984
00:48:03,089 --> 00:48:06,675
We all post about this
simultaneously on Instagram.

985
00:48:06,676 --> 00:48:08,802
- [Kumail] Yes.
- [Seth] Black squares on the main feed.

986
00:48:08,803 --> 00:48:11,471
- Black Lives Matter did black squares.
- [Seth] Fuck. You're right.

987
00:48:11,472 --> 00:48:13,557
We do blue squares on the grid.

988
00:48:13,558 --> 00:48:15,976
- 'Cause blue lives matter.
That's totally different.
- I wouldn't post that.

989
00:48:15,977 --> 00:48:19,062
Is there any color that hasn't been taken
by some fucking group?

990
00:48:19,063 --> 00:48:21,064
- What about white?
- Well...

991
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:24,985
Oh, ooh, ooh, I'll get Lena Dunham
to write an editorial for <i>The Atlantic.</i>

992
00:48:24,986 --> 00:48:26,695
- Oh, yeah.
- [Seth] It's like, that'll really rate.
- [Will] She's great.

993
00:48:26,696 --> 00:48:28,238
- [Seth] That has great readership.
- She's a great writer.

994
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,573
- [Seth] She's a very persuasive--
- Universally beloved.

995
00:48:29,574 --> 00:48:30,824
Whatever, fuck sticks.

996
00:48:30,825 --> 00:48:33,952
Look, best day of my life
was when they executed Hader.

997
00:48:33,953 --> 00:48:36,663
Right? More offer-onlys for the Forte.

998
00:48:36,664 --> 00:48:38,498
Hey, do we think
Michael Cera's a Starlighter?

999
00:48:38,499 --> 00:48:39,958
'Cause we're up
for the same part right now,

1000
00:48:39,959 --> 00:48:41,543
and it'd be pretty good
if he got vanished.

1001
00:48:41,544 --> 00:48:43,754
We've been friends with him
for 20 years, Chris.

1002
00:48:43,755 --> 00:48:46,382
- Yeah, but I really need this part, man.
- Oh, no. Oh, no.

1003
00:48:47,592 --> 00:48:49,343
- 'Sup?
- Homelander.

1004
00:48:49,344 --> 00:48:50,969
Soldier Boy. Wow. [stammers]

1005
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:54,682
I'm Will. Remember me?
I'm the one who turned in Channing Tatum.

1006
00:48:57,518 --> 00:49:00,604
Seth Rogen. We actually met once before,
uh, with Black Noir

1007
00:49:00,605 --> 00:49:03,232
at the premiere for
<i>Silent Vengeance 3: Vengeance Reloaded.</i>

1008
00:49:05,401 --> 00:49:08,528
Big fan. I'm actually, uh, testifying
in front of Congress for you, you know,

1009
00:49:08,529 --> 00:49:09,988
outing suspected Starlighters.

1010
00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:12,367
Spoiler alert: Post Malone.

1011
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:15,118
You need to get the fuck
away from me right now.

1012
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,621
- You bet, yeah.
- Yeah.

1013
00:49:17,622 --> 00:49:19,414
[Homelander] We came here
looking for something.

1014
00:49:19,415 --> 00:49:21,416
What do you know about V1?

1015
00:49:21,417 --> 00:49:23,669
[tense music playing]

1016
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:25,754
You've come to the right place.

1017
00:49:25,755 --> 00:49:27,340
- [keypad beeping]
- [lock clicks]

1018
00:49:28,424 --> 00:49:30,510
[intriguing music playing]

1019
00:49:33,388 --> 00:49:35,056
Here you go. [clears throat]

1020
00:49:38,101 --> 00:49:40,937
Oh, yeah, Vought yanked that one
from newsstands after Kent State.

1021
00:49:42,689 --> 00:49:43,815
Good times.

1022
00:49:44,482 --> 00:49:46,858
- How'd you end up with it?
- [Mister Marathon] Some old bitch on eBay.

1023
00:49:46,859 --> 00:49:51,280
I paid 20 bucks. I mean,
it'd go for half a mil at auction easy.

1024
00:49:55,535 --> 00:49:57,370
[clears throat]

1025
00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:02,833
Yeah, Dr. Vought was a,
was a titan, a visionary.

1026
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:06,129
He was a pansy with a German accent
and sweaty palms.

1027
00:50:06,713 --> 00:50:08,880
[Mister Marathon] He was
a complicated guy.

1028
00:50:08,881 --> 00:50:11,592
[somber music playing]

1029
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:19,934
- [clears throat]
- Do you or do you not have V1?

1030
00:50:21,269 --> 00:50:23,186
I-I don't.

1031
00:50:23,187 --> 00:50:24,688
But Bombsight does.

1032
00:50:24,689 --> 00:50:26,106
He does.

1033
00:50:26,107 --> 00:50:28,525
- That piece of shit's still alive?
- Yeah.

1034
00:50:28,526 --> 00:50:30,402
Yeah, he was my best customer
for a long time.

1035
00:50:30,403 --> 00:50:31,695
What makes you think he has it?

1036
00:50:31,696 --> 00:50:33,864
One night,
he was tweaked out of his gourd,

1037
00:50:33,865 --> 00:50:35,115
and he told me he had some,

1038
00:50:35,116 --> 00:50:36,366
- and I believe him.
- Where is he?

1039
00:50:36,367 --> 00:50:37,451
Me and Bombsight are still cool.

1040
00:50:37,452 --> 00:50:40,245
Wh-Why don't we all just hang out
for a sec, and I-I'll call him.

1041
00:50:40,246 --> 00:50:42,248
He'll-he'll fly right over.

1042
00:50:43,249 --> 00:50:44,541
[snorts]

1043
00:50:44,542 --> 00:50:46,251
[rap music playing quietly]

1044
00:50:46,252 --> 00:50:48,296
[Mister Marathon snorts,
clears throat, sniffs]

1045
00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:51,715
I scooped this up from BogotÃ¡
while you were taking a piss.

1046
00:50:51,716 --> 00:50:54,009
- Mm.
- I mean, for the Soldier Boy,

1047
00:50:54,010 --> 00:50:56,011
- nothing but the best.
- Mm.

1048
00:50:56,012 --> 00:50:57,430
[clears throat]

1049
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:01,267
[Christopher] Seth?

1050
00:51:02,351 --> 00:51:04,394
Oh. No, I actually hate weed.

1051
00:51:04,395 --> 00:51:07,774
I just pretend to like it for my brand,
so I can sell ashtrays to suckers.

1052
00:51:09,776 --> 00:51:12,194
Um... [clears throat] Yo, Homelander.

1053
00:51:12,195 --> 00:51:15,489
[clears throat] Uh, you want to hit this?

1054
00:51:15,490 --> 00:51:18,033
It is my life goal
to smoke you out, homie.

1055
00:51:18,034 --> 00:51:19,494
[groans]

1056
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:22,163
Don't call me that.

1057
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,081
[Malchemical] Homelander.

1058
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:26,876
It's good to see you again.

1059
00:51:30,046 --> 00:51:31,463
- Do I know you?
- Yeah.

1060
00:51:31,464 --> 00:51:34,591
Uh, we met, like, six times. Malchemical.

1061
00:51:34,592 --> 00:51:36,218
Make deadly gasses.

1062
00:51:36,219 --> 00:51:38,304
Did that whole campaign with Gas-X.

1063
00:51:41,474 --> 00:51:43,475
[sighs] That's embarrassing.

1064
00:51:43,476 --> 00:51:46,561
[Mister Marathon] Homelander still
as weird as he was when I was there?

1065
00:51:46,562 --> 00:51:50,065
- Well, I wasn't there back then, but yes.
- [laughs]

1066
00:51:50,066 --> 00:51:52,359
So, get this. One time, at Les Deux,

1067
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,361
Mischa Barton
wanted to suck him off, right?

1068
00:51:54,362 --> 00:51:55,987
He spent two hours talking to her

1069
00:51:55,988 --> 00:51:58,281
about Nietzsche,
then left when she stepped on his cape.

1070
00:51:58,282 --> 00:52:00,534
Ugh. That fucking cape.

1071
00:52:00,535 --> 00:52:02,160
- Like a baby with a blanket.
- [laughs]

1072
00:52:02,161 --> 00:52:05,622
Pretty sure he jerks off into it.
Probably why it's so stiff. [chuckles]

1073
00:52:05,623 --> 00:52:07,040
[Homelander] Say that again.

1074
00:52:07,041 --> 00:52:09,252
[unsettling music playing]

1075
00:52:10,336 --> 00:52:12,213
Oh, can't you take a fucking joke?

1076
00:52:15,091 --> 00:52:16,217
Say it again.

1077
00:52:18,553 --> 00:52:19,719
Thought as much.

1078
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,680
If Bombsight's not coming, I'm leaving.

1079
00:52:21,681 --> 00:52:23,516
No, he's on his way, be here any minute.
I swear.

1080
00:52:27,395 --> 00:52:28,478
Nah, I'm done.

1081
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:29,772
[sighs]

1082
00:52:31,399 --> 00:52:33,568
- Oh, shit.
- [Homelander] By the way... Hey!

1083
00:52:34,402 --> 00:52:35,652
I heard you all.

1084
00:52:35,653 --> 00:52:37,404
And I want you all to know

1085
00:52:37,405 --> 00:52:39,948
that very soon, gentlemen,
you are going to pay

1086
00:52:39,949 --> 00:52:43,285
for your sick posts
and your hateful memes.

1087
00:52:43,286 --> 00:52:45,246
Especially the memes.

1088
00:52:48,082 --> 00:52:49,374
What, no, no, no, no.

1089
00:52:49,375 --> 00:52:51,042
- I-It was Kumail and Seth's idea.
- What?!

1090
00:52:51,043 --> 00:52:52,627
- Fuck you, Forte! That--
- I-I was against it. I was against it.

1091
00:52:52,628 --> 00:52:54,754
It was, it was fucking his idea, man!

1092
00:52:54,755 --> 00:52:56,840
He is just sucking your dick
so you can help his shitty fucking career.

1093
00:52:56,841 --> 00:52:58,174
[Will] Take them, okay?

1094
00:52:58,175 --> 00:52:59,634
Shit, I-I'll take 'em out
for you right now.

1095
00:52:59,635 --> 00:53:01,177
Oh, really, yeah?
You want to take me, bitch?

1096
00:53:01,178 --> 00:53:03,096
- I'm fucking yoked now.
- Shut up, Forte.
- Really? Okay--

1097
00:53:03,097 --> 00:53:04,931
- Forte, you're making this worse--
- I'm not!

1098
00:53:04,932 --> 00:53:06,600
Everybody, stop!

1099
00:53:06,601 --> 00:53:08,768
We really should round up Michael Cera.

1100
00:53:08,769 --> 00:53:10,687
[sighs]

1101
00:53:10,688 --> 00:53:12,272
Homelander.

1102
00:53:12,273 --> 00:53:14,150
- S-Sorry. Quick question.
- What?

1103
00:53:15,067 --> 00:53:16,985
Oh, for fuck's sakes.

1104
00:53:16,986 --> 00:53:18,654
[hissing]

1105
00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:21,157
[gasping]

1106
00:53:22,158 --> 00:53:24,117
- Ooh!
- Who's memorable now?

1107
00:53:24,118 --> 00:53:26,161
- What the fuck?
- Easy. Easy. Easy.

1108
00:53:26,162 --> 00:53:29,247
- Can we fuck off, please?!
- Chill out, MacGruber. Everything's cool.

1109
00:53:29,248 --> 00:53:30,957
Hey, man, we don't have
a problem with you, honest,

1110
00:53:30,958 --> 00:53:33,251
but-but-but-but fuck this fucking guy.

1111
00:53:33,252 --> 00:53:34,794
You know, he fucked my life.

1112
00:53:34,795 --> 00:53:38,423
Look, i-if you help us get rid of him,
then we all win, and you,

1113
00:53:38,424 --> 00:53:40,008
you can have The Seven.

1114
00:53:40,009 --> 00:53:42,552
And I don't even, like, really care
if you bring me back or whatever.

1115
00:53:42,553 --> 00:53:44,095
I don't need to kill him to get The Seven.

1116
00:53:44,096 --> 00:53:45,305
No, yeah, of course not,

1117
00:53:45,306 --> 00:53:47,349
but what about all that creepy shit
he's doing with that church?

1118
00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:49,726
I mean, they're rounding up
everybody cool,

1119
00:53:49,727 --> 00:53:51,645
all the hookers, the drug dealers.

1120
00:53:51,646 --> 00:53:53,104
They want to ban porn.

1121
00:53:53,105 --> 00:53:55,273
- I mean, they want to ban
fucking abortions.
- [Mister Marathon] Yeah.

1122
00:53:55,274 --> 00:53:58,568
Okay, well, banning abortion would be
a big problem for me personally.

1123
00:53:58,569 --> 00:53:59,778
[Mister Marathon] Exactly, for all of us.

1124
00:53:59,779 --> 00:54:02,989
S-So, if we kill him,
w-we can stop worrying about being

1125
00:54:02,990 --> 00:54:06,409
cops or-or-or gods or-or asexual weirdos.

1126
00:54:06,410 --> 00:54:09,955
You know, we can go back to fucking
and-and being fucking awesome.

1127
00:54:09,956 --> 00:54:13,083
Look, we know you've got that
fucked-up chest blast thing.

1128
00:54:13,084 --> 00:54:15,001
I mean, I was at Herogasm. I saw it.

1129
00:54:15,002 --> 00:54:16,294
[Mister Marathon] Just finish him now.

1130
00:54:16,295 --> 00:54:18,797
Take away his powers,
so we can curb stomp him

1131
00:54:18,798 --> 00:54:20,048
while we have the chance.

[tense music playing]

1133
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:29,599
He is a fucking asexual weirdo.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1135
00:54:31,978 --> 00:54:34,980
But as much as it pains me to say this,

1136
00:54:34,981 --> 00:54:37,984
he's my fucking asexual weirdo.

1137
00:54:40,987 --> 00:54:44,073
- Nobody fucks my son but me.
- What?

1138
00:54:44,907 --> 00:54:46,658

What happened?

1193
00:57:45,421 --> 00:57:46,922
I took care of it.

1194
00:57:49,925 --> 00:57:51,093
Why?

1195
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:55,013
Because fuck them.

1196
00:57:55,014 --> 00:57:56,182
That's why.

1197
00:57:57,516 --> 00:57:59,767
I don't think this micro-prick was lying.

1198
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,646
Bombsight has the V1.
We just got to find him.

1199
00:58:04,481 --> 00:58:06,232
Also, um...

[smacks lips]

1201
00:58:08,235 --> 00:58:09,820
I've been fucking Firecracker.

1202
00:58:11,447 --> 00:58:16,827
But out of respect for you,
that's, uh... that's done.

1203
00:58:18,746 --> 00:58:22,833
Plus, her pillow talk was
getting to be a real drag.

1204
00:58:24,251 --> 00:58:25,544
Pillow talk?

How was L.A.?

1210
00:59:03,958 --> 00:59:06,125
Did you catch tonight's <i>Truthbomb?</i>

1211
00:59:06,126 --> 00:59:07,460
I did indeed.

1212
00:59:07,461 --> 00:59:09,921
And it was a real barnburner.

1213
00:59:09,922 --> 00:59:11,714
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir.

1214
00:59:11,715 --> 00:59:13,092
That means the world.

[unsettling music playing]

00:59:19,223 --> 00:59:20,724
Is he good at it?

1218
00:59:21,308 --> 00:59:24,227
Are you thinking about me

1219
00:59:24,228 --> 00:59:27,022
when you're making love to him?

1220
00:59:28,190 --> 00:59:30,525
I never meant to cross a line

1221
00:59:30,526 --> 00:59:32,735
- or offend you in--
- Oh, no. No, no, no, no.

1222
00:59:32,736 --> 00:59:34,195
Don't fret, little one.

1223
00:59:34,196 --> 00:59:36,573
I don't care about the sex, really.

1224
00:59:38,075 --> 00:59:40,536
But I do care about
your little chats after sex.

1225
00:59:41,453 --> 00:59:44,080
Sir, whatever Soldier Boy told you,
I can assure you that I--

1226
00:59:44,081 --> 00:59:49,586
You mean, uh, your inner turmoil
when it comes to me and, uh...

1227
00:59:50,546 --> 00:59:53,131
[sighs] Jesus?

1228
00:59:53,132 --> 00:59:56,968
Are you thinking of Jesus
when you're praising me?

1229
00:59:56,969 --> 01:00:00,430
No, you are my one and only savior.

1230
01:00:00,431 --> 01:00:04,935
You s-say that, but your jagged little
heart is whirring like a hummingbird.

[sighs]

1232
01:00:09,189 --> 01:00:11,983
You're supposed to worship me.

1233
01:00:11,984 --> 01:00:13,484
Love me.

1234
01:00:13,485 --> 01:00:15,361
And me alone.

1235
01:00:15,362 --> 01:00:17,572
- I do.
- I believed in you.

1236
01:00:17,573 --> 01:00:19,283
Turns out...

1237
01:00:20,909 --> 01:00:22,202
...you don't believe in me.

1238
01:00:25,539 --> 01:00:27,249
I need you to collect your things...

1239
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:30,210
...and leave.

1240
01:00:32,087 --> 01:00:33,921
But I do believe in you.

1241
01:00:33,922 --> 01:00:35,757
I love you.

1242
01:00:35,758 --> 01:00:39,052
I am the only one here who ever has!

1243
01:00:39,053 --> 01:00:41,262
I gave you everything.

1244
01:00:41,263 --> 01:00:43,097
I gave you my soul.

1245
01:00:43,098 --> 01:00:45,808
Everybody else here, they're just...

1246
01:00:45,809 --> 01:00:47,977
they're just scared of you.

1247
01:00:47,978 --> 01:00:53,900
Or they want something from you,
but I have always loved you for you.

1248
01:00:53,901 --> 01:00:58,905
Just the strongest, smartest,

1249
01:00:58,906 --> 01:01:00,448

[scoffs] Man?

1251
01:01:02,326 --> 01:01:04,285
No, no, no, no, no. A god. No.

1252
01:01:04,286 --> 01:01:06,830
No, the God.

1253
01:01:07,664 --> 01:01:11,377
My Lord, that look you used to get
when you'd suckle me?

1254
01:01:12,419 --> 01:01:15,296
I felt like Mother Mary herself.

1255
01:01:15,297 --> 01:01:20,218
I felt blessed to nourish someone as...

1256
01:01:20,219 --> 01:01:22,262
- important as you.
- [sighs]

1257
01:01:24,348 --> 01:01:26,182
[sighs]

1258
01:01:26,183 --> 01:01:28,644
But nothing I ever did
was good enough, was it?

1259
01:01:29,561 --> 01:01:31,939
You cast me out into the cold.

1260
01:01:32,564 --> 01:01:37,193
Which was so much worse than never feeling
your warmth in the first place.

1261
01:01:37,194 --> 01:01:39,946
So all I have been trying to do

1262
01:01:39,947 --> 01:01:42,991
is to get you to see me
the way that you used to.

1263
01:01:44,118 --> 01:01:48,747
Hell, only reason I was with Soldier Boy
was because your reflected light...

1264
01:01:50,666 --> 01:01:52,501
...is better than no light at all.

1265
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:54,711
Please, sir.

1266
01:01:56,630 --> 01:01:57,965
I love you.

1267
01:01:58,549 --> 01:02:00,467
We all need love, don't we?

1268
01:02:03,178 --> 01:02:04,346
Even God.
