00:00:09,260 --> 00:00:10,261
Aah!
3
00:00:11,721 --> 00:00:12,847
What the fuck?
4
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:15,141
That was so fucked up, you guys.
5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:17,017
Get out. You're done.
6
00:00:17,101 --> 00:00:19,645
There's one person you will never,
ever defeat.
7
00:00:19,729 --> 00:00:20,730
Good luck without me.
8
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:22,898
The answer to all our prayers.
9
00:00:22,982 --> 00:00:25,234
- A virus that kills Supes.
- [Shah] To make the virus
10
00:00:25,317 --> 00:00:27,197
strong enough to kill Homelander
would evolve it
11
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:29,029
into something super lethal.
12
00:00:29,113 --> 00:00:31,031
Global fucking pandemic.
13
00:00:31,115 --> 00:00:34,577
I am you, which is why
when I tell you you want to do this,
14
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:38,581
I am literally telling you that
you fucking want to do this.
15
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:41,208
- [grunts]
- Kimiko! [grunts]
16
00:00:41,292 --> 00:00:42,477
[Mother's Milk] Frenchie, that virus...
17
00:00:42,501 --> 00:00:44,086
It ain't gonna cook itself, brother.
18
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:45,439
[Butcher] We ain't
turning Ryan into an asset.
19
00:00:45,463 --> 00:00:48,340
- He ain't ready.
- Either we figure out how to train him
20
00:00:48,424 --> 00:00:49,967
or we figure out how to kill him.
21
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,136
Stop, stop! Just stop.
22
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:53,763
Your family isn't your enemy.
23
00:00:53,846 --> 00:00:56,474
- My mom wouldn't want any of this.
- [Butcher] And that
24
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:58,350
is why I got faith in the kid.
25
00:00:58,434 --> 00:01:00,811
[coughs]
26
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:02,396
[Homelander] Once he's in office,
27
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,960
we need to invoke the 25th amendment.
28
00:01:04,023 --> 00:01:05,816
- Who's handling all this?
- [Neuman] Me.
29
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,735
- I fucking am.
- [Hughie] When Homelander
30
00:01:07,818 --> 00:01:09,629
chucks all the Starlighters
into internment camps,
31
00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:10,821
you're cool with that?
32
00:01:10,905 --> 00:01:11,739
You didn't know about the camps.
33
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:13,699
[Homelander] You just focus
on the shooter.
34
00:01:13,783 --> 00:01:15,451
Make sure he's good to go on the 6th.
35
00:01:15,534 --> 00:01:17,536
- Are you okay?
- It's like a furnace in there.
36
00:01:19,038 --> 00:01:22,291
- [Hughie] Stop!
- [Butcher] Fucking Supe shapeshifters.
37
00:01:22,374 --> 00:01:23,793
Got to hand it to Sage, though.
38
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:25,628
Perfect choice for the job.
39
00:01:29,882 --> 00:01:31,300
{\an8}Good morning, patriots.
40
00:01:31,383 --> 00:01:35,262
{\an8}It's January 6, and this is VNN Today.
41
00:01:35,346 --> 00:01:36,786
{\an8}Stunning news out of Vought Studios,
42
00:01:36,847 --> 00:01:40,434
{\an8}who are canceling
the eagerly anticipated film
43
00:01:40,518 --> 00:01:43,354
{\an8}Training A-Train,
though it's completely finished.
44
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:45,439
{\an8}We just realized we'd make more
from the write-off.
45
00:01:45,523 --> 00:01:48,984
{\an8}We go behind the scenes
of a powerful new Vought PSA.
46
00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:51,278
I take responsibility.
47
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:56,617
I take responsibility for racism.
48
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,370
{\an8}Finally, Congress counts
electoral votes today
49
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:01,664
{\an8}to certify the incoming president.
50
00:02:01,747 --> 00:02:06,085
{\an8}Usually a formality, Dakota Bob's
extreme anti-Supe agenda
51
00:02:06,168 --> 00:02:08,087
{\an8}has made it anything but.
52
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:11,715
{\an8}We will count the certificates
in an orderly fashion,
53
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:13,551
{\an8}with no debate.
54
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:15,219
{\an8}Is that understood?
55
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:16,720
Now, as I was saying,
56
00:02:16,804 --> 00:02:19,515
after ascertaining
the certificates are authentic...
57
00:02:19,598 --> 00:02:21,493
[Mother's Milk] Where's
the fucking virus, Frenchie?
58
00:02:21,517 --> 00:02:23,811
[Frenchie speaks French] I'm close.
59
00:02:24,728 --> 00:02:25,872
You know, once they bang that gavel,
60
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:28,858
Neuman's one goddamn head pop away
from the Oval Office.
61
00:02:28,941 --> 00:02:31,819
- How close?
- Close-ish.

65
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:44,540
Counting the certificate of the vote
of the state of Alabama?
66
00:02:44,623 --> 00:02:47,835
-[phone dings] - Hearing none. The
chair advises members of Congress...
67
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:49,837
No, I told you Vicky locked it all down.
68
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,755
Please lower your voice.
69
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:53,549
[Calhoun continues indistinctly on TV]
70
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:56,468
- [Shifter Annie] Hey.
- Hey.
71
00:02:58,220 --> 00:02:59,388
Hey.
72
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:01,432
He-Hey. What...
73
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,393
What the hell are you wearing?
74
00:03:04,476 --> 00:03:05,561
You don't like it?
75
00:03:05,644 --> 00:03:07,813
No, I mean, I… I love it.
76
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:10,608
It's just, I-is now really the time,
with the whole country
77
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,610
barreling towards 1984?
78
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:15,863
The night before my great-grandfather
shipped out,
79
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:18,741
he put on his dress uniform,
80
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:23,579
barged into dinner
at my great-grandmother's house,
81
00:03:23,662 --> 00:03:26,040
and got down on one knee.
82
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,460
Okay.
83
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:31,503
Stand up. Please.
84
00:03:34,465 --> 00:03:36,216

[hopeful music playing]
86
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:43,390
Will you marry me?
87
00:03:43,474 --> 00:03:45,476
- Ha! Uh...
- [laughs]
88
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:48,520
You need to stay right here, okay?
Just don't move.
89
00:03:48,604 --> 00:03:50,064
- Okay.
- Do not move.
90

[music distorts, stops playing]
91
00:03:57,571 --> 00:03:59,573
Hey.
92
00:04:02,117 --> 00:04:04,244
Uh, I guess I'm-I'm doing this.
93
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:06,097
Okay, then me, too,
'cause I'm the one proposing.
94
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:07,498
Annie January,
95
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:11,293
I am terrified of what's gonna happen.
96
00:04:11,377 --> 00:04:13,295
But I feel so...
97
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,924
so lucky...
98
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:19,551
that I get to face it all with you.
99
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:28,519
[chuckles]
100
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,312
Okay, all right.
101
00:04:31,647 --> 00:04:35,442
So, uh, yeah, all in all...
102
00:04:35,526 --> 00:04:37,111
hard yes, let's get married.
103
00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:38,612
- [laughs]
- [laughs] Aah!
104
00:04:38,696 --> 00:04:40,698
- Mm...
- [ominous music playing]

00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:50,874
Wow, that was... that was great.
106
00:04:52,334 --> 00:04:53,836
Two fingers was a lot, but...
107
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:56,130
Sorry, I was just trying to level up.
108
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:59,508
Oh, no, it's... it's fine. It's great.
109
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:11,603
[Shifter Annie] Um...
110
00:05:12,813 --> 00:05:14,023
Where you going?
111
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:17,735
We need some champs to... celebrate.
112
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:18,944
And...
113
00:05:19,028 --> 00:05:20,988
not that Kirkland shit
114
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:23,240
that's in the fridge.
115
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,826
- I'll be right back.
- Yeah, okay. Yeah.

[door opens, closes]
117
00:05:36,462 --> 00:05:39,590
{\an8}The certificate from Kansas,
the parliamentarians advised me,
118
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,051
{\an8}is the only certificate of vote
from the state,
119
00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:45,387
{\an8}and has annexed to it
a certificate from an authority...
120
00:05:45,471 --> 00:05:47,139
[nurse] You're 90 over 60.
121
00:05:47,222 --> 00:05:48,682
That's low.
122
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:51,643
You don't fucking say?

You know, if you need any help...
127
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:06,283
I don't need your help.
128
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:07,367
Really?
129
00:06:07,451 --> 00:06:09,870
Seems to me you are shitting in a bedpan

and days away from being planted.
131
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:15,209
And what do you have to show for it?
132
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,711
I mean, Singer... he's as good as dead.
133
00:06:17,795 --> 00:06:20,464
Homelander... he won.
134
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:22,966
And you... you gave away the virus.
135
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:26,095
The one fucking weapon
that could've stopped him.
136
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:29,056
But we are gonna turn that frown
137
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:31,391
upside down, my friend.
138
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:33,560
You know why?
139
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:35,437
'Cause you still have me.

You ain't even fucking real.
141
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:41,666
[Kessler] Well, now, that's
an interesting philosophical question.
142
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,987
See, what is real are the fucking
143

V'd up tumors that are mushrooming
inside your guts and noggin.
144

Super cancer.

What is real
146
00:06:53,497 --> 00:06:55,415
is that piece of you
147
00:06:55,499 --> 00:06:59,628
that wants to burn
every fucking Supe on Earth.
148
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:03,757
How is it you think you ripped Ezekiel
into fun-sized little chunks?
149
00:07:03,841 --> 00:07:07,427
I'm the one that gave you the juice
that you needed.
150

And I can do it again.
151
00:07:09,555 --> 00:07:11,807
All you have to do
152
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:14,309
is hold up your end of the bargain.
153
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,145
Bargain?
154
00:07:16,228 --> 00:07:17,729
What fucking bargain?
155
00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:19,439
We go all the way.
156
00:07:19,523 --> 00:07:20,899

00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:23,777
what's a little genocide between friends?
158
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,073
Just fuck off and let me
die in peace, would you?
159
00:07:28,157 --> 00:07:29,408

be a doll and fetch us a pint,
would you?

00:07:45,132 --> 00:07:47,259
Come on, don't be a cunt.
I'm fucking dying here.
164
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:50,095
Your dying's been pretty high
on my wish list lately.
165
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,474
I appreciate what
you're doing here for me.
166

Not one bit of this is for you.
167
00:07:57,603 --> 00:07:59,605
All right, then.
168
00:08:00,731 --> 00:08:03,734
Give us me phone.
We got work to do.

00:10:00,225 --> 00:10:02,019
Not him.
179
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:05,856
And I always will be.
180
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:13,864
Come here.
181
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,032
Now.
182
00:10:18,577 --> 00:10:19,577
Ryan.
183
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:22,497
Ryan!
184
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,335
[Annie grunting]
185
00:10:33,425 --> 00:10:34,509
[door opens]
186
00:10:34,593 --> 00:10:36,219
Hey.
187
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,055
- [door closes]
- You know,
188
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:39,765
I'd be careful with those...
189
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:45,395
[grunts] ...those Lean Lad Diet Lunches?
190
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:47,564
They cause kidney stones
191
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,649
the size of jawbreakers.
192
00:10:49,733 --> 00:10:52,277
There's a whole class action lawsuit
against them.
193
00:10:52,361 --> 00:10:53,862
- Come here.
- Don't!
194
00:10:53,945 --> 00:10:55,447
Don't-don't fucking touch me.
195
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:56,740
Hey, chill, okay?
196
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,492
I just need a little recharge.
197
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:02,829
Oh.
198
00:11:02,913 --> 00:11:05,040
Why the fuck would I kill your mother?
199
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:07,626
That requires going to Sedona,
200
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:10,087
and no one should have to go to Sedona.
201
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,339
- [chuckles]
- Get out of my head.
202
00:11:15,217 --> 00:11:17,177
Oh, this?
203
00:11:19,388 --> 00:11:20,656
I proposed to Hughie this morning.
204
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,681
[squeals]
205
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:24,226
I even told him the story
about your great-grandparents.
206
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:27,521
And then we fucked to celebrate.
207
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,064
And we did butt stuff.
208
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:30,607
He was so into it.
209
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,484
Oh, Christ.
210
00:11:32,567 --> 00:11:35,028
It's like a fucking furnace in here.
211
00:11:35,112 --> 00:11:37,697
- Why?
- Don't you just love proposals?
212
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:40,534
I mean, the joy on the other person's face
213
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:43,078
when they finally
get their happily ever after.
214
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:44,329
You're a psychopath.
215
00:11:44,413 --> 00:11:46,456
Sociopath!
216
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:51,086
Which is to be expected, really.
I mean,
217
00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:52,879
barely remember what I look like.
218
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:56,758
I do remember
the first time I shifted, though.
219
00:11:56,842 --> 00:11:59,010
One minute I was me
220
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:01,972
and the next I was Ms. Jamison,
221
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:03,807
my preschool teacher.
222
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:07,686
And I could see every memory
she'd ever had.
223
00:12:07,769 --> 00:12:09,604
Fucking her husband's best friend,
224
00:12:09,688 --> 00:12:12,232
shoplifting lip gloss, hitting a student.
225
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:14,317
But you know what the funny part is?
226
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:17,654
She felt justified
227
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,781
in doing all those shitty things.
228
00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:21,533
You all do it.
229
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:24,870
You all think
230
00:12:24,953 --> 00:12:27,581
you're the heroes of your own story.
231
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:29,291
I mean, look at you.
232
00:12:29,374 --> 00:12:32,502
You're more moral and good
233
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:35,547
and honest than the rest of us
234
00:12:35,630 --> 00:12:39,593
just wallowing down in the shit.
235
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:41,476
- I don't think that.
- Yeah, you do. Come on.
236
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:43,513
Mind reader, remember?
237
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:45,348
"Wasn't my fault
238
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:47,851
that I was a total cunt at the pageants,
that was Mommy.
239
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:50,604
Or that I had to suck cock
240
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:54,357
like a fucking Popsicle
to stay in The Seven. No.
241
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:55,567
No, no, no, no, no.
242
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:58,862
I'm Annie January and it's not my fault."
243
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,065
Come on, say it with me now.
244
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:01,948
I'm Annie January and it's not my...
245
00:13:02,032 --> 00:13:03,742
Fuck you!
246
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:07,621
You don't know anything
about me or my life.
247
00:13:07,704 --> 00:13:10,207
No? Then why aren't your powers working?
248
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:11,541
[ominous music playing]
249
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:13,543
[grunting]
250
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:15,670
I mean,
251
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:18,089
you weren't even
the original choice to kill Singer,
252
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:21,885
but you're just such a fucking hot mess,
253
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:24,179
you made it undeniable.
254
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:26,973
Hey.
255
00:13:27,057 --> 00:13:29,518
You'll have a couple of...
256
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:31,561
non-consecutive life sentences
257
00:13:31,645 --> 00:13:32,955
to work through your identity issues.
258
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:34,856
- Please...
- Aw.
259
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:36,608
Poor Annie.
260
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:42,447
- Please.
- "Oh, God, I'm Annie January
261
00:13:42,531 --> 00:13:44,199
and I'm the only good one."
262
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:45,784
[mock cries, laughs]
263
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:47,786
[claps]
264
00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:50,413
Oh. Here.
265
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:54,209
To wash down those Lean Lad Lunches.
266
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:01,925
Okay.
267
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:03,385
Ah.
268
00:14:04,469 --> 00:14:05,637
[door opens]
269
00:14:13,812 --> 00:14:15,564
- Oi oi.
- [Hughie] I've called you, like,
270
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:17,524
15 times. I was worried. I thought...
271
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:19,276
I don't know, I thought maybe you were...
272
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:21,653
Yeah, you and me both.
273
00:14:21,736 --> 00:14:23,214
Look, we're kind of up against it
right now.
274
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:25,466
They're only a few hours away
from certifying the election
275
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:29,077
and then, you know, after that happens
they're-they're coming for Singer.
276
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,704
We need your help.
277
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,583
Butcher?
278
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:37,335
When I was a lad,
279
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:40,213
I heard about this place in Nevada.
280
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:42,882
A steakhouse.
281
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:47,137
Where the birds get their baps out
when they're bringing your ribeye.
282
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:50,557
- Cool.
- [soft chuckle]
283
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,435
Lenny nearly pissed himself
when I told him.
284
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:57,188
Thought it was
the funniest thing he ever heard.
285
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:03,445
We was gonna go there someday.
286
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:10,035
Well...
287
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:14,289
Funny what you think about
when your time's up, innit?
288
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:17,959
Butcher, where are you?
I-I can come to you.
289
00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:20,086
You know, we can figure this out.
290
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:22,213
Do us a favor, would you, Hughie?
291
00:15:27,052 --> 00:15:28,762
Go there.
292
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:32,557
For me and Len, would you?
293
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:34,851
You can't fucking give up.
294
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,936
You can still fight.
295
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:39,064
Hughie, I asked you something.
296
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:43,193
Fine. I'll-I'll, um...
297
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,362
I'll go to the topless steakhouse for you.
298
00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:48,156
Magic.
299
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:52,410
And, uh...
300
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:58,375
tell the Boys I'm sorry, would you?
301
00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:03,755
Tell the Boys I'm sorry
302
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:05,215
for, uh...
303
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:11,638
Just tell them I'm sorry.
304
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:16,851
Goodbye, Hughie.
305
00:16:17,852 --> 00:16:19,854
[somber music playing]
306
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:30,407
Oh, hey, um,
307
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:33,952
have Negin get me a caramel pretzel
s'more frappe from Jitter Bean.
308
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:36,871
Double whip.
I'm just like molasses in winter today.
309
00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:40,333
Ugh, God, that's enough, Amber. Thank you.
310
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,464
Good morning. [chuckles]
311
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:48,091
How are you doing this mor... [coughs]
312
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:49,592
Oh, God.
313
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:51,511
[coughing] Excuse me. [chuckles]
314
00:16:51,594 --> 00:16:52,738
Can we just make this quick, please?
315
00:16:52,762 --> 00:16:54,115
I have slightly more important things
to do today.
316
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:56,725
- [Also Ashley] Yes ma'am, of course.
- [clears throat] Hey.
317
00:16:56,808 --> 00:16:59,936
[stage manager] Stand by.
Going in five, four,
318
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,604
three...
319
00:17:03,481 --> 00:17:05,334
{\an8}-[rock music playing]
- Welcome to the show, folks.
320
00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:07,777
{\an8}We got a real happy surprise
for y'all today.
321
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:11,114
{\an8}Homelander and vice president-elect
322
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:13,199
{\an8}Victoria Neuman.
323
00:17:13,283 --> 00:17:16,202
{\an8}[gasps] Bless both your hearts
for being here.
324
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:19,289
{\an8}I'm more than happy to find time
for my friend Homelander.
325
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:20,915
{\an8}Yeah, let's cut the BS.
326
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:24,085
{\an8}Dakota Bob says he's gonna pass
nutbag anti-Supe laws
327
00:17:24,169 --> 00:17:25,628
{\an8}in his first hundred days.
328
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:27,189
- [muffled] As his VP...
- [high-pitched ringing]
329
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,215
[muffled voices continue indistinctly]
330
00:17:33,470 --> 00:17:36,270
-[ringing stops] -[Neuman] ...staunch
ally of the super-abled community,
331
00:17:36,347 --> 00:17:38,075
- I really think that it's important to...
- [laughs]
332
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:40,185
{\an8}Ally, Victoria, really?
333
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:44,731
We're here to tell the truth.
334
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:47,901
So just... tell the truth.
335
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:53,406
The truth is that
336
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:55,290
the real issue here
is lack of representation.
337
00:17:55,366 --> 00:17:57,219
- And I want to make sure that you...
- Fine, you don't want to do it?
338
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,244
I'll do it.
339
00:17:58,328 --> 00:17:59,662
Uh...
340
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:02,957
{\an8}Victoria here is a superhero.
341
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:06,753
{\an8}[laughs] Thanks for the compliment.
342
00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:09,839
{\an8}But, like, I think the truth
is we all want to be heroes,
343
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:12,509
{\an8}but, um, I'm not literally a su...
344
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:14,093
- [dramatic music playing]
- [gasps]
345
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:16,387
Oh, fuck.
346
00:18:17,472 --> 00:18:18,598
[Firecracker] It's all true.
347
00:18:18,681 --> 00:18:22,685
Ms. Neuman here has been operating as
348
00:18:22,769 --> 00:18:25,104
a secret dagger
in the heart of the deep state,
349
00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,357
standing up to the forces of darkness
that want to
350
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,193
sodomize our democracy and our toddlers,
351
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:33,071
but it is time for the great awakening.
352
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:36,032
Where we go one, we go Vought, y'all.
353
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,176
We're gonna take a quick break...
354
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,202
Cunt's out of the bag, innit?
355
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:41,871
Now it gets interesting.
356
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:44,374
All right. Great show, guys.
357
00:18:46,751 --> 00:18:48,795
Hey. Hey!
358
00:18:52,423 --> 00:18:54,384
- Ma'am...
- Fuck off! Hey.
359
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,427
I worked my whole life
to keep that secret.
360
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:58,721
Well, secrets rot your soul.
361
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,099
- You're unburdened. You should thank me.
- Sage said...
362
00:19:01,182 --> 00:19:03,810
Fuck Sage. She's long gone. Listen to me.
363
00:19:03,893 --> 00:19:05,186
Listen to me.
364
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:07,814
We are gonna change the world,
365
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:10,692
Vicky, for our kids and their kids.
366
00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:14,279
The first super-abled president.
367
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:17,073
Hmm? And you're a gal.
368
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,325
I'll be impeached.
369
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:20,969
- Why would we care?
- Because I have to
370
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:23,246
- get re-elected in four years.
- Says who?
371
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:24,569
Article II of the Constitution.
372
00:19:24,622 --> 00:19:25,957
New world, new rules.
373
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,001
Now shut the fuck up and listen.
374
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:30,003
Our fates are connected now.
375
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:33,339
Singer's as good as dead, and I am
the only fucking friend you've got left.
376
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:37,010
The train has left the station,
gorgeous, and you're on it.
377
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:41,472
You'll have to arrest half your company.
Half the country.
378
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:47,990
Wait, you think I didn't think of that?
Of course I thought of that.
379
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,690
[Neuman] Fuck.
380
00:19:50,773 --> 00:19:54,694
- Ashley, on me now.
- Um, the response on socials has been mixed.
381
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:57,196
I need you to make a list
of anyone within the company
382
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,742
that has damaging information on me
or The Seven...
383
00:20:00,825 --> 00:20:02,201
But mostly me...
384
00:20:02,285 --> 00:20:03,929
Anyone with any fucking
leverage whatsoever.
385
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:06,039
- Yes.
- I need this fucking list yesterday.
386
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:07,123
Yes, sir.
387
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,499
You're a good girl.
388
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:10,585
[tense music playing]
389
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:11,794
Um...
390
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:15,006
- that doesn't sound good, Ashley.
- Oh, yeah, no shit, Ashley.
391
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:16,257
Sorry, Ashley.
392
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:17,884
{\an8}[Calhoun] Order!
393
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:21,554
{\an8}The purpose of the joint session
having concluded,
394
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:25,767
{\an8}pursuant to Senate Concurrent
Resolution 1, 118th congress,
395
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:29,062
{\an8}the chair declares
the joint session resolved.
396
00:20:29,145 --> 00:20:32,315
{\an8}...certified the election
despite the shocking news
397
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:36,444
{\an8}that vice president-elect
Victoria Neuman is super-abled.
398
00:20:36,527 --> 00:20:38,863
{\an8}Protests have erupted all over the country
399
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:40,587
{\an8}-as Starlighters...
- That's the ballgame.
400
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:43,159
Open season on Singer now.
Frenchie, tell me you got something.
401
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,620
[speaks French]
You want to try this instead of me?
402
00:20:45,703 --> 00:20:47,747
I'm working as fast as I can.
403
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:49,540
Not fast enough.
404
00:20:49,624 --> 00:20:51,501
Multiple protestors have been injured...
405
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:53,753
- [phone rings]
- You seeing this?
406
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:55,731
Get all the dirt on Neuman ready
in case we need to go nuclear.
407
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:57,232
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What happened to the virus?
408
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,925
There is no fucking virus.
409
00:20:59,008 --> 00:21:01,135
What? Fuck.
410
00:21:01,219 --> 00:21:04,097
Okay, well, you know she's gonna
kill us if we leak this, right?
411
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,908
If I had another fucking choice,
trust me, I'd take it.
412
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,284
All right, here goes fucking nothing.
413
00:21:07,308 --> 00:21:09,352
[singsongy] Hi.
414
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:13,106
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. Fuck!
415
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:14,732
- What? What happened?
- It's all gone.
416
00:21:14,816 --> 00:21:16,377
Everything we have on Neuman...
The murders,
417
00:21:16,401 --> 00:21:18,504
- her ties to Stan Edgar, everything.
- Okay, okay, wait a second.
418
00:21:18,528 --> 00:21:20,923
You got backups, right... another computer
or the motherfucking cloud?
419
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:23,032
You're not hearing me. It's all gone.
The originals,
420
00:21:23,116 --> 00:21:24,492
the backups, we've got nothing.
421
00:21:25,576 --> 00:21:27,954
Ain't nothing stopping her then.
422
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:29,706
Only one thing left to do.
423
00:21:29,789 --> 00:21:33,501
Frenchie, you stay here,
work fucking faster.
424
00:21:33,584 --> 00:21:34,961
Kimiko, you're with me.
425
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:36,981
Listen, Hughie, I'm sending you
coordinates. You and Annie,
426
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:38,673
- meet there ASAP.
- What's the plan?
427
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:42,510
We fucked up our chance at offense.
All we got now is defense.
428
00:21:42,593 --> 00:21:44,846
[dramatic music playing]
429
00:21:44,929 --> 00:21:46,764
I am as shocked as you are
430
00:21:46,848 --> 00:21:49,726
by this profound betrayal of trust.
431
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:52,645
In America, you tell people who you are
432
00:21:52,729 --> 00:21:54,981
before you ask for their vote.
433
00:21:55,064 --> 00:21:58,735
That's why I'm calling
for a new, free and fair election.
434
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,862
Mark my words,
435
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:03,239
if Victoria Neuman becomes vice president,
436
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:05,950
it will be over my dead body
437
00:22:06,034 --> 00:22:07,910
because she had me assassinated.
438
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:08,995
[TV clicks off]
439
00:22:09,078 --> 00:22:12,290
Wow. Guess you got to go
take a bullet for the geezer, don't you?
440
00:22:12,373 --> 00:22:14,333
I think it's more important
that I stay here.
441
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:16,586
Your visitor's here.
442
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:18,796
- Send him in.
- [door closes]
443
00:22:24,886 --> 00:22:25,887
[sighs]
444
00:22:29,265 --> 00:22:30,725
Man, this is never gonna work.
445
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,644
[Butcher] You got my text.
446
00:22:33,728 --> 00:22:35,354
I'm glad you came.
447
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:38,691
[chuckles]
You're almost taller than me now.
448
00:22:38,775 --> 00:22:41,360
There's no saving the kid.
He can't escape his own blood.
449
00:22:41,444 --> 00:22:42,671
[Mallory] What are they feeding you?
450
00:22:42,695 --> 00:22:44,631
And tell me there's vegetables
involved somewhere.
451
00:22:44,655 --> 00:22:46,324
[Ryan] There's lettuce on the burgers.
452
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,117
[̈laughs] I've missed you, kiddo.
453
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:52,622
Listen, Ryan,
454
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:55,500
we, uh, need to have
a bit of a serious chin wag.
455
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:58,127
You look... really sick.
456
00:22:58,211 --> 00:22:59,670
Don't I know it.
457
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:04,133
Mate, I've wished myself dead more times
458
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:05,760
than I can count.
459
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:10,890
And now here I am,
460
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:12,225
and I want some more time.
461
00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:14,685
But I don't have it,
462
00:23:14,769 --> 00:23:16,646
and I don't have time
to ease you into this.
463
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,439
You're gonna have to kill him, Billy.
464
00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:20,525
You can't go back to the tower.
465
00:23:20,608 --> 00:23:23,111
- You need to go with Aunt Grace.
- [Ryan] What?
466
00:23:23,194 --> 00:23:25,071
- Like when?
- [Butcher] Now.
467
00:23:25,154 --> 00:23:27,240
- Right now.
- [Ryan] No, I-I can't.
468
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:29,742
- My dad would find me.
- Not this time, kiddo.
469
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:33,287
Well...
470
00:23:33,371 --> 00:23:34,914
I'm not sure I want to leave.
471
00:23:34,997 --> 00:23:38,167
I kind of like it there.
Well, parts of it.
472
00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:40,771
You see? You got to stab him with
the virus and you got to do it today.
473
00:23:40,795 --> 00:23:43,047
[Mallory] Ryan, no.
474
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:45,299
- Your Dad is a...
- [Butcher] Grace.
475
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:48,928
Look...
476
00:23:49,011 --> 00:23:52,265
when your mom died...
Which weren't your fault...
477
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:55,268
you heard what she said.
478
00:23:55,351 --> 00:23:58,646
She had me promise to keep you safe,
and that's all I'm trying to do here.
479
00:23:58,729 --> 00:24:01,274
Now, if you're telling me,
480
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:03,359
I mean, seriously telling me,
481
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:06,237
that the place you feel safest
482
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,822
is with Homelander...
483
00:24:11,159 --> 00:24:13,703
then I ain't gonna stop you.
484
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:15,746
[somber music playing]
485
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:28,134
Do you want to play?
486
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:34,348
All right, then. Come on.
487
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,487
[Ashley speaking indistinctly]
488
00:24:48,571 --> 00:24:50,674
- [Homelander] Have you seen Ryan?
- [Ashley] No, but I can send a PA
489
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:54,327
- to go look, if you need.
- No. No. Boys need their space.
490
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:56,704
- List?
- Oh, yeah. Um… Sorry.
491
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:57,705
[Homelander] Thank you.
492
00:24:57,788 --> 00:24:59,624
[Ashley] I highlighted
anyone who's contract
493
00:24:59,707 --> 00:25:01,584
we'd have to pay out if they're...
494
00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:04,670
let go.
495
00:25:04,754 --> 00:25:06,797
Great. Thank you. Good job.
496
00:25:06,881 --> 00:25:08,466
You're excused.
497
00:25:11,302 --> 00:25:13,304
[doors sliding shut]
498
00:25:15,056 --> 00:25:16,849
You know, no problem. I can get it.
499
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:18,226
[screams]
500
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:27,902
Cilantro.
501
00:25:30,321 --> 00:25:31,322
Gentlemen.
502
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:34,617
The Seven is a circle of trust.
503
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:35,826
[coughs]
504
00:25:36,953 --> 00:25:37,954
[clears throat]
505
00:25:38,037 --> 00:25:41,123
What we're gonna tell you
is extremely sensitive.
506
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:42,875
- Got it?
- O Captain, my Captain.
507
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:47,088
Robert Singer will be dead
508
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:48,881
by end of business.
509
00:25:48,965 --> 00:25:50,508
Neuman will be sworn in.
510
00:25:50,591 --> 00:25:52,927
People will panic. There will be rioting,
511
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:55,554
bloodshed, et cetera, et cetera.
512
00:25:55,638 --> 00:25:59,934
Someone will have to swoop in
and restore order.
513
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,729
We will put out the call
to every Vought hero,
514
00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:06,357
every fucking one,
to surround the Capitol,
515
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,651
the White House, and the Pentagon.
516
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:11,487
Defending the rightful President Neuman.
517
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,698
Now, what I need you two...
518
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:15,366
[coughing]
519
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,368
Fuck's sakes, get a Ricola.
520
00:26:17,451 --> 00:26:22,039
Sorry, sir. I'm-I'm so sorry.
I'm just... the meds, you know.
521
00:26:22,123 --> 00:26:24,625
You know, the... the meds.
522
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:28,397
They're just, they're causing a little
523
00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:31,549
heart palpitation and a high fever,
but it ain't no big thing.
524
00:26:31,632 --> 00:26:33,360
Okay, well, you're coughing all over me,
and it's fucking disgusting.
525
00:26:33,384 --> 00:26:34,385
Go further down.
526
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:36,929
Scoot.

everyone on this list
536
00:27:08,252 --> 00:27:11,505
needs to be removed.
537
00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:14,258
Permanently, by the end of the day.
538
00:27:16,385 --> 00:27:18,929
Hey, if we're thinking about
who's got the most dirt on us,
539
00:27:19,013 --> 00:27:21,515
wouldn't Ashley's name be
at the top of the list?
540
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,353
Yeah. Sure. Good idea.
541
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:32,234

Look, for all I fucking know,
they could be in here already.
552
00:28:45,766 --> 00:28:49,061
So, from now on,
everybody moves with a partner,

and you check in
every five minutes on the dot.

the Shifter is in here?

00:29:19,592 --> 00:29:22,678
I hope not, for Christ's sake,
but it could be anyone,
564
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:24,430

- What do you mean failed?
- Now the CIA's gonna find

Well, there's nothing on the news.
662
00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:30,462
Because he's gonna
hit me back quietly, and I'm fairly
663

Maybe she can find a way out
of this idiotic mess you've dropped us in.

And, Victoria, if you stray
even an inch off that path,
672
00:35:55,821 --> 00:36:00,075
I will make sure Zoe knows nothing
but pain for the rest of her life,
673
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:03,203
and I will send you
a piece of her every year

I'm great.

00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:06,516
Thank God you showed up.
691
00:37:07,601 --> 00:37:10,062
- How'd you find us, anyway?
- Find Your Phone.

- Congratulations.
- No, she's not...
694
00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:17,903
She wasn't my fiancée.

00:37:17,986 --> 00:37:19,112
No, you're...
696
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:22,574
You put the ring on her finger, Hughie.
697
00:37:22,658 --> 00:37:26,495
- Mm.
- I know because I pried it off her fucking dead hand!
698
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:28,431
Look, I thought I was
getting engaged to you, all right?
699
00:37:28,455 --> 00:37:31,500
She looked just like you, you know,
right down to that freckle you have
700

- down...
- So you did fuck her.
