1
00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:10,371
Aah!
2
00:00:11,831 --> 00:00:12,957
What the fuck?
3
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,251
That was so fucked up, you guys.
4
00:00:16,210 --> 00:00:17,196
Get out. You're done.
5
00:00:17,211 --> 00:00:19,755
There's one person you will never,
ever defeat.
6
00:00:19,839 --> 00:00:20,840
Good luck without me.
7
00:00:20,923 --> 00:00:23,008
The answer to all our prayers.
8
00:00:23,092 --> 00:00:25,344
A virus that kills Supes.
To make the virus
9
00:00:25,427 --> 00:00:27,304
strong enough to kill Homelander
would evolve it
10
00:00:27,388 --> 00:00:29,139
into something super lethal.
11
00:00:29,223 --> 00:00:31,141
Global fucking pandemic.
12
00:00:31,225 --> 00:00:34,687
I am you, which is why
when I tell you you want to do this,
13
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:38,691
I am literally telling you that
you fucking want to do this.
14
00:00:38,774 --> 00:00:41,318
Kimiko!
15
00:00:41,402 --> 00:00:42,528
Frenchie, that virus…
16
00:00:42,611 --> 00:00:44,196
it ain't gonna cook itself, brother.
17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,489
We ain't
turning Ryan into an asset.
18
00:00:45,573 --> 00:00:48,450
- He ain't ready.
- Either we figure out how to train him
19
00:00:48,534 --> 00:00:50,077
or we figure out how to kill him.
20
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,246
Stop, stop! Just stop.
21
00:00:52,329 --> 00:00:53,873
Your family isn't your enemy.
22
00:00:53,956 --> 00:00:56,584
My mom wouldn't want any of this.
And that
23
00:00:56,667 --> 00:00:58,460
is why I got faith in the kid.
24
00:01:01,005 --> 00:01:02,506
Once he's in office,
25
00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:04,049
we need to invoke the 25th amendment.
26
00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:05,926
Who's handling all this?
Me.
27
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:07,845
I fucking am.
When Homelander
28
00:01:07,928 --> 00:01:09,680
chucks all the Starlighters
into internment camps,
29
00:01:09,763 --> 00:01:10,931
you're cool with that?
30
00:01:11,015 --> 00:01:11,917
You didn't know about the camps.
31
00:01:11,932 --> 00:01:13,809
You just focus
on the shooter.
32
00:01:13,893 --> 00:01:15,561
Make sure he's good to go on the 6th.
33
00:01:15,644 --> 00:01:17,646
- Are you okay?
- It's like a furnace in there.
34
00:01:19,148 --> 00:01:22,401
Stop!
Fucking Supe shapeshifters.
35
00:01:22,484 --> 00:01:23,903
Got to hand it to Sage, though.
36
00:01:23,986 --> 00:01:25,738
Perfect choice for the job.
37
00:01:29,992 --> 00:01:31,410
Good morning, patriots.
38
00:01:31,493 --> 00:01:35,372
It's January 6, and this is VNN Today.
39
00:01:35,456 --> 00:01:36,874
Stunning news out of Vought Studios,
40
00:01:36,957 --> 00:01:40,544
who are canceling
the eagerly anticipated film
41
00:01:40,628 --> 00:01:43,464
Training A-Train,
though it's completely finished.
42
00:01:43,547 --> 00:01:45,549
We just realized we'd make more
from the write-off.
43
00:01:45,633 --> 00:01:49,094
We go behind the scenes
of a powerful new Vought PSA.
44
00:01:49,178 --> 00:01:51,388
I take responsibility.
45
00:01:54,016 --> 00:01:56,727
I take responsibility for racism.
46
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:59,480
Finally, Congress counts
electoral votes today
47
00:01:59,563 --> 00:02:01,774
to certify the incoming president.
48
00:02:01,857 --> 00:02:06,195
Usually a formality, Dakota Bob's
extreme anti-Supe agenda
49
00:02:06,278 --> 00:02:08,197
has made it anything but.
50
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,825
We will count the certificates
in an orderly fashion,
51
00:02:11,909 --> 00:02:13,661
with no debate.
52
00:02:13,744 --> 00:02:15,329
Is that understood?
53
00:02:15,412 --> 00:02:16,830
Now, as I was saying,
54
00:02:16,914 --> 00:02:19,625
after ascertaining
the certificates are authentic…
55
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:21,543
Where's
the fucking virus, Frenchie?
56
00:02:21,627 --> 00:02:23,921
I'm close.
57
00:02:24,838 --> 00:02:25,923
You know, once they bang that gavel,
58
00:02:26,006 --> 00:02:28,968
Neuman's one goddamn head pop away
from the Oval Office.
59
00:02:29,051 --> 00:02:31,929
- How close?
- Close-ish.
60
00:02:34,431 --> 00:02:35,933
Fuck.
61
00:02:41,605 --> 00:02:44,650
…counting the certificate of the vote
of the state of Alabama?
62
00:02:44,733 --> 00:02:47,945
Hearing none.
The chair advises members of Congress…
63
00:02:48,028 --> 00:02:49,947
No, I told you Vicky locked it all down.
64
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:51,865
Please lower your voice.
65
00:02:55,244 --> 00:02:56,578
- Hey.
- Hey.
66
00:02:58,330 --> 00:02:59,498
Hey.
67
00:02:59,581 --> 00:03:01,542
He-Hey. What…
68
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,503
What the hell are you wearing?
69
00:03:04,586 --> 00:03:05,671
You don't like it?
70
00:03:05,754 --> 00:03:07,923
No, I mean, I… I love it.
71
00:03:08,007 --> 00:03:10,718
It's just, I-is now really the time,
with the whole country
72
00:03:10,801 --> 00:03:12,720
barreling towards 1984?
73
00:03:12,803 --> 00:03:15,973
The night before my great-grandfather
shipped out,
74
00:03:16,056 --> 00:03:18,851
he put on his dress uniform,
75
00:03:18,934 --> 00:03:23,689
barged into dinner
at my great-grandmother's house,
76
00:03:23,772 --> 00:03:26,150
and got down on one knee.
77
00:03:28,110 --> 00:03:29,570
Okay.
78
00:03:29,653 --> 00:03:31,613
Stand up. Please.
79
00:03:34,575 --> 00:03:36,326
Hughie Campbell…
80
00:03:41,999 --> 00:03:43,500
…will you marry me?
81
00:03:43,584 --> 00:03:45,586
Ha! Uh…
82
00:03:45,669 --> 00:03:48,630
You need to stay right here, okay?
Just don't move.
83
00:03:48,714 --> 00:03:50,174
- Okay.
- Do not move.
84
00:03:57,681 --> 00:03:59,683
Hey.
85
00:04:02,227 --> 00:04:04,354
Uh, I guess I'm-I'm doing this.
86
00:04:04,438 --> 00:04:06,148
Okay, then me, too,
'cause I'm the one proposing.
87
00:04:06,231 --> 00:04:07,608
Annie January,
88
00:04:07,691 --> 00:04:11,403
I am terrified of what's gonna happen.
89
00:04:11,487 --> 00:04:13,405
But I feel so…
90
00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:17,034
…so lucky…
91
00:04:17,117 --> 00:04:19,661
that I get to face it all with you.
92
00:04:28,712 --> 00:04:30,422
Okay, all right.
93
00:04:31,757 --> 00:04:35,552
So, uh, yeah, all in all…
94
00:04:35,636 --> 00:04:37,221
hard yes, let's get married.
95
00:04:37,304 --> 00:04:38,722
Aah!
96
00:04:38,806 --> 00:04:40,808
Mm…
97
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,984
Wow, that was… that was great.
98
00:04:52,444 --> 00:04:53,946
Two fingers was a lot, but…
99
00:04:54,029 --> 00:04:56,240
Sorry, I was just trying to level up.
100
00:04:56,323 --> 00:04:59,618
Oh, no, it's… it's fine. It's great.
101
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:11,713
Um…
102
00:05:12,923 --> 00:05:14,133
Where you going?
103
00:05:15,217 --> 00:05:17,845
We need some champs to… celebrate.
104
00:05:17,928 --> 00:05:19,054
And…
105
00:05:19,138 --> 00:05:21,098
not that Kirkland shit
106
00:05:21,181 --> 00:05:23,350
that's in the fridge.
107
00:05:23,433 --> 00:05:25,936
- I'll be right back.
- Yeah, okay. Yeah.
108
00:05:36,572 --> 00:05:39,700
The certificate from Kansas,
the parliamentarians advised me,
109
00:05:39,783 --> 00:05:42,161
is the only certificate of vote
from the state,
110
00:05:42,244 --> 00:05:45,497
and has annexed to it
a certificate from an authority…
111
00:05:45,581 --> 00:05:47,249
You're 90 over 60.
112
00:05:47,332 --> 00:05:48,792
That's low.
113
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,753
You don't fucking say?
114
00:05:59,803 --> 00:06:02,514
You know, if you need any help…
115
00:06:05,142 --> 00:06:06,393
I don't need your help.
116
00:06:06,476 --> 00:06:07,477
Really?
117
00:06:07,561 --> 00:06:09,980
Seems to me you are shitting in a bedpan
118
00:06:10,063 --> 00:06:12,441
and days away from being planted.
119
00:06:12,524 --> 00:06:15,319
And what do you have to show for it?
120
00:06:15,402 --> 00:06:17,821
I mean, Singer… he's as good as dead.
121
00:06:17,905 --> 00:06:20,574
Homelander… he won.
122
00:06:20,657 --> 00:06:23,076
And you… you gave away the virus.
123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,205
The one fucking weapon
that could've stopped him.
124
00:06:26,288 --> 00:06:29,166
But we are gonna turn that frown
125
00:06:29,249 --> 00:06:31,501
upside down, my friend.
126
00:06:31,585 --> 00:06:33,670
You know why?
127
00:06:33,754 --> 00:06:35,547
'Cause you still have me.
128
00:06:37,174 --> 00:06:39,092
You ain't even fucking real.
129
00:06:39,176 --> 00:06:41,762
Well, now, that's
an interesting philosophical question.
130
00:06:41,845 --> 00:06:44,097
See, what is real are the fucking
131
00:06:44,181 --> 00:06:48,101
V'd up tumors that are mushrooming
inside your guts and noggin.
132
00:06:48,185 --> 00:06:49,770
Super cancer.
133
00:06:51,271 --> 00:06:53,523
What is real
134
00:06:53,607 --> 00:06:55,525
is that piece of you
135
00:06:55,609 --> 00:06:59,738
that wants to burn
every fucking Supe on Earth.
136
00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:03,867
How is it you think you ripped Ezekiel
into fun-sized little chunks?
137
00:07:03,951 --> 00:07:07,537
I'm the one that gave you the juice
that you needed.
138
00:07:07,621 --> 00:07:09,581
And I can do it again.
139
00:07:09,665 --> 00:07:11,917
All you have to do
140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,419
is hold up your end of the bargain.
141
00:07:14,503 --> 00:07:16,255
Bargain?
142
00:07:16,338 --> 00:07:17,839
What fucking bargain?
143
00:07:17,923 --> 00:07:19,549
We go all the way.
144
00:07:19,633 --> 00:07:21,009
I mean, come on, champ,
145
00:07:21,093 --> 00:07:23,887
what's a little genocide between friends?
146
00:07:25,597 --> 00:07:28,183
Just fuck off and let me
die in peace, would you?
147
00:07:28,267 --> 00:07:29,518
Wish I could.
148
00:07:38,610 --> 00:07:39,987
Since you're here…
149
00:07:41,446 --> 00:07:43,573
…be a doll and fetch us a pint,
would you?
150
00:07:45,242 --> 00:07:47,369
Come on, don't be a cunt.
I'm fucking dying here.
151
00:07:47,452 --> 00:07:50,205
Your dying's been pretty high
on my wish list lately.
152
00:07:52,582 --> 00:07:54,584
I appreciate what
you're doing here for me.
153
00:07:54,668 --> 00:07:56,628
Not one bit of this is for you.
154
00:07:57,713 --> 00:07:59,715
All right, then.
155
00:08:00,841 --> 00:08:03,844
Give us me phone.
We got work to do.
156
00:08:40,714 --> 00:08:42,215
Disgusting.
157
00:08:47,804 --> 00:08:50,140
God damn it, Ryan.
158
00:09:42,109 --> 00:09:44,069
Come here.
159
00:09:45,529 --> 00:09:47,989
Come here. That's an order.
160
00:09:57,416 --> 00:09:58,917
I'm your father.
161
00:10:00,335 --> 00:10:02,129
Not him.
162
00:10:04,423 --> 00:10:05,966
And I always will be.
163
00:10:10,887 --> 00:10:13,974
Come here.
164
00:10:14,057 --> 00:10:15,142
Now.
165
00:10:18,687 --> 00:10:19,687
Ryan.
166
00:10:21,314 --> 00:10:22,607
Ryan!
167
00:10:34,703 --> 00:10:36,329
Hey.
168
00:10:36,413 --> 00:10:38,165
You know,
169
00:10:38,248 --> 00:10:39,875
I'd be careful with those…
170
00:10:41,835 --> 00:10:45,505
…those Lean Lad Diet Lunches?
171
00:10:45,589 --> 00:10:47,674
They cause kidney stones
172
00:10:47,757 --> 00:10:49,759
the size of jawbreakers.
173
00:10:49,843 --> 00:10:52,387
There's a whole class action lawsuit
against them.
174
00:10:52,471 --> 00:10:53,972
- Come here.
- Don't!
175
00:10:54,055 --> 00:10:55,557
Don't-don't fucking touch me.
176
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,850
Hey, chill, okay?
177
00:10:56,933 --> 00:10:58,602
I just need a little recharge.
178
00:11:01,688 --> 00:11:02,939
Oh.
179
00:11:03,023 --> 00:11:05,150
Why the fuck would I kill your mother?
180
00:11:05,233 --> 00:11:07,736
That requires going to Sedona,
181
00:11:07,819 --> 00:11:10,197
and no one should have to go to Sedona.
182
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,449
Get out of my head.
183
00:11:15,327 --> 00:11:17,287
Oh, this?
184
00:11:19,498 --> 00:11:20,707
I proposed to Hughie this morning.
185
00:11:21,875 --> 00:11:24,336
I even told him the story
about your great-grandparents.
186
00:11:24,419 --> 00:11:27,631
And then we fucked to celebrate.
187
00:11:27,714 --> 00:11:29,174
And we did butt stuff.
188
00:11:29,257 --> 00:11:30,717
He was so into it.
189
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,594
Oh, Christ.
190
00:11:32,677 --> 00:11:35,138
It's like a fucking furnace in here.
191
00:11:35,222 --> 00:11:37,807
- Why?
- Don't you just love proposals?
192
00:11:37,891 --> 00:11:40,644
I mean, the joy on the other person's face
193
00:11:40,727 --> 00:11:43,188
when they finally
get their happily ever after.
194
00:11:43,271 --> 00:11:44,439
You're a psychopath.
195
00:11:44,523 --> 00:11:46,566
Sociopath!
196
00:11:48,151 --> 00:11:51,196
Which is to be expected, really.
I mean,
197
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:52,989
barely remember what I look like.
198
00:11:54,699 --> 00:11:56,868
I do remember
the first time I shifted, though.
199
00:11:56,952 --> 00:11:59,120
One minute I was me
200
00:11:59,204 --> 00:12:02,082
and the next I was Ms. Jamison,
201
00:12:02,165 --> 00:12:03,917
my preschool teacher.
202
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,796
And I could see every memory
she'd ever had.
203
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:09,714
Fucking her husband's best friend,
204
00:12:09,798 --> 00:12:12,342
shoplifting lip gloss, hitting a student.
205
00:12:12,425 --> 00:12:14,427
But you know what the funny part is?
206
00:12:15,637 --> 00:12:17,764
She felt justified
207
00:12:17,847 --> 00:12:19,891
in doing all those shitty things.
208
00:12:19,975 --> 00:12:21,643
You all do it.
209
00:12:23,353 --> 00:12:24,980
You all think
210
00:12:25,063 --> 00:12:27,691
you're the heroes of your own story.
211
00:12:27,774 --> 00:12:29,401
I mean, look at you.
212
00:12:29,484 --> 00:12:32,612
You're more moral and good
213
00:12:32,696 --> 00:12:35,657
and honest than the rest of us
214
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:39,703
just wallowing down in the shit.
215
00:12:39,786 --> 00:12:41,580
- I don't think that.
- Yeah, you do. Come on.
216
00:12:41,663 --> 00:12:43,623
Mind reader, remember?
217
00:12:43,707 --> 00:12:45,458
"Wasn't my fault
218
00:12:45,542 --> 00:12:47,961
that I was a total cunt at the pageants,
that was Mommy.
219
00:12:48,044 --> 00:12:50,714
Or that I had to suck cock
220
00:12:50,797 --> 00:12:54,467
like a fucking popsicle
to stay in The Seven. No.
221
00:12:54,551 --> 00:12:55,677
No, no, no, no, no.
222
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,972
I'm Annie January and it's not my fault."
223
00:12:59,055 --> 00:13:00,140
Come on, say it with me now.
224
00:13:00,223 --> 00:13:02,058
I'm Annie January and it's not my…
225
00:13:02,142 --> 00:13:03,852
Fuck you!
226
00:13:03,935 --> 00:13:07,731
You don't know anything
about me or my life.
227
00:13:07,814 --> 00:13:10,317
No? Then why aren't your powers working?
228
00:13:14,738 --> 00:13:15,780
I mean,
229
00:13:15,864 --> 00:13:18,199
you weren't even
the original choice to kill Singer,
230
00:13:18,283 --> 00:13:21,995
but you're just such a fucking hot mess,
231
00:13:22,078 --> 00:13:24,289
you made it undeniable.
232
00:13:25,749 --> 00:13:27,083
Hey.
233
00:13:27,167 --> 00:13:29,628
You'll have a couple of…
234
00:13:29,711 --> 00:13:31,671
non-consecutive life sentences
235
00:13:31,755 --> 00:13:33,006
to work through your identity issues.
236
00:13:33,089 --> 00:13:34,966
- Please…
- Aw.
237
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:36,718
Poor Annie.
238
00:13:38,428 --> 00:13:42,557
- Please.
- "Oh, God, I'm Annie January
239
00:13:42,641 --> 00:13:44,309
and I'm the only good one."
240
00:13:47,979 --> 00:13:50,523
Oh. Here.
241
00:13:50,607 --> 00:13:54,319
To wash down those Lean Lad Lunches.
242
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,035
Okay.
243
00:14:02,118 --> 00:14:03,495
Ah.
244
00:14:13,922 --> 00:14:15,674
Oi oi.
I've called you, like,
245
00:14:15,757 --> 00:14:17,634
15 times. I was worried. I thought…
246
00:14:17,717 --> 00:14:19,386
I don't know, I thought maybe you were…
247
00:14:19,469 --> 00:14:21,763
Yeah, you and me both.
248
00:14:21,846 --> 00:14:23,264
Look, we're kind of up against it
right now.
249
00:14:23,348 --> 00:14:25,517
They're only a few hours away
from certifying the election
250
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,187
and then, you know, after that happens
they're-they're coming for Singer.
251
00:14:29,270 --> 00:14:30,814
We need your help.
252
00:14:32,982 --> 00:14:34,693
Butcher?
253
00:14:34,776 --> 00:14:37,445
When I was a lad,
254
00:14:37,529 --> 00:14:40,323
I heard about this place in Nevada.
255
00:14:41,449 --> 00:14:42,992
A steakhouse.
256
00:14:44,494 --> 00:14:47,247
Where the birds get their baps out
when they're bringing your ribeye.
257
00:14:48,707 --> 00:14:50,667
Cool.
258
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:53,545
Lenny nearly pissed himself
when I told him.
259
00:14:54,838 --> 00:14:57,298
Thought it was
the funniest thing he ever heard.
260
00:15:01,344 --> 00:15:03,555
We was gonna go there someday.
261
00:15:08,643 --> 00:15:10,145
Well…
262
00:15:11,646 --> 00:15:14,399
Funny what you think about
when your time's up, innit?
263
00:15:14,482 --> 00:15:18,069
Butcher, where are you?
I-I can come to you.
264
00:15:18,153 --> 00:15:20,196
You know, we can figure this out.
265
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,323
Do us a favor, would you, Hughie?
266
00:15:27,162 --> 00:15:28,872
Go there.
267
00:15:30,248 --> 00:15:32,667
For me and Len, would you?
268
00:15:32,751 --> 00:15:34,961
You can't fucking give up.
269
00:15:35,044 --> 00:15:37,046
You can still fight.
270
00:15:37,130 --> 00:15:39,174
Hughie, I asked you something.
271
00:15:40,967 --> 00:15:43,303
Fine. I'll-I'll, um…
272
00:15:43,386 --> 00:15:45,472
I'll go to the topless steakhouse for you.
273
00:15:46,765 --> 00:15:48,266
Magic.
274
00:15:51,019 --> 00:15:52,520
And, uh…
275
00:15:56,107 --> 00:15:58,485
…tell the Boys I'm sorry, would you?
276
00:16:01,112 --> 00:16:03,865
Tell the Boys I'm sorry
277
00:16:03,948 --> 00:16:05,325
for, uh…
278
00:16:09,412 --> 00:16:11,748
Just tell them I'm sorry.
279
00:16:15,335 --> 00:16:16,961
Goodbye, Hughie.
280
00:16:28,306 --> 00:16:30,517
Oh, hey, um,
281
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,062
have Negin get me a caramel pretzel
s'more frappe from Jitter Bean.
282
00:16:34,145 --> 00:16:36,981
Double whip.
I'm just like molasses in winter today.
283
00:16:37,065 --> 00:16:40,443
Ugh, God, that's enough, Amber. Thank you.
284
00:16:43,613 --> 00:16:46,574
Good morning.
285
00:16:46,658 --> 00:16:48,201
How are you doing this mor…
286
00:16:48,284 --> 00:16:49,702
Oh, God.
287
00:16:49,786 --> 00:16:51,621
Excuse me.
288
00:16:51,704 --> 00:16:52,789
Can we just make this quick, please?
289
00:16:52,872 --> 00:16:54,165
I have slightly more important things
to do today.
290
00:16:54,249 --> 00:16:56,835
Yes ma'am, of course.
Hey.
291
00:16:56,918 --> 00:17:00,046
Stand by.
Going in five, four,
292
00:17:00,129 --> 00:17:01,714
three…
293
00:17:03,591 --> 00:17:05,385
Welcome to the show, folks.
294
00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,887
We got a real happy surprise
for y'all today.
295
00:17:07,971 --> 00:17:11,224
Homelander and vice president-elect
296
00:17:11,307 --> 00:17:13,309
Victoria Neuman.
297
00:17:13,393 --> 00:17:16,312
Bless both your hearts
for being here.
298
00:17:16,396 --> 00:17:19,399
I'm more than happy to find time
for my friend Homelander.
299
00:17:19,482 --> 00:17:21,025
Yeah, let's cut the BS.
300
00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:24,195
Dakota Bob says he's gonna pass
nutbag anti-Supe laws
301
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:25,738
in his first hundred days.
302
00:17:25,822 --> 00:17:27,240
As his VP…
303
00:17:33,580 --> 00:17:36,374
…staunch ally
of the super-abled community,
304
00:17:36,457 --> 00:17:38,126
I really think that it's important to…
305
00:17:38,209 --> 00:17:40,295
Ally, Victoria, really?
306
00:17:42,589 --> 00:17:44,841
We're here to tell the truth.
307
00:17:44,924 --> 00:17:48,011
So just… tell the truth.
308
00:17:51,723 --> 00:17:53,516
The truth is that
309
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,393
the real issue here
is lack of representation.
310
00:17:55,476 --> 00:17:57,270
- And I want to make sure that you…
- Fine, you don't want to do it?
311
00:17:57,353 --> 00:17:58,354
I'll do it.
312
00:17:58,438 --> 00:17:59,772
Uh…
313
00:17:59,856 --> 00:18:03,067
Victoria here is a superhero.
314
00:18:05,111 --> 00:18:06,863
Thanks for the compliment.
315
00:18:06,946 --> 00:18:09,949
But, like, I think the truth
is we all want to be heroes,
316
00:18:10,033 --> 00:18:12,619
but, um, I'm not literally a su…
317
00:18:14,287 --> 00:18:16,497
Oh, fuck.
318
00:18:17,582 --> 00:18:18,708
It's all true.
319
00:18:18,791 --> 00:18:22,795
Ms. Neuman here has been operating as
320
00:18:22,879 --> 00:18:25,214
a secret dagger
in the heart of the deep state,
321
00:18:25,298 --> 00:18:27,467
standing up to the forces of darkness
that want to
322
00:18:27,550 --> 00:18:30,303
sodomize our democracy and our toddlers,
323
00:18:30,386 --> 00:18:33,181
but it is time for the great awakening.
324
00:18:33,264 --> 00:18:36,142
Where we go one, we go Vought, y'all.
325
00:18:36,225 --> 00:18:37,226
We're gonna take a quick break…
326
00:18:37,310 --> 00:18:39,312
Cunt's out of the bag, innit?
327
00:18:40,521 --> 00:18:41,981
Now it gets interesting.
328
00:18:42,065 --> 00:18:44,484
All right. Great show, guys.
329
00:18:46,861 --> 00:18:48,905
Hey. Hey!
330
00:18:52,533 --> 00:18:54,494
- Ma'am…
- Fuck off! Hey.
331
00:18:54,577 --> 00:18:56,537
I worked my whole life
to keep that secret.
332
00:18:56,621 --> 00:18:58,831
Well, secrets rot your soul.
333
00:18:58,915 --> 00:19:01,209
- You're unburdened. You should thank me.
- Sage said…
334
00:19:01,292 --> 00:19:03,920
Fuck Sage. She's long gone. Listen to me.
335
00:19:04,003 --> 00:19:05,296
Listen to me.
336
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:07,924
We are gonna change the world,
337
00:19:08,007 --> 00:19:10,802
Vicky, for our kids and their kids.
338
00:19:10,885 --> 00:19:14,389
The first super-abled president.
339
00:19:14,472 --> 00:19:17,183
Hmm? And you're a gal.
340
00:19:17,266 --> 00:19:19,435
I'll be impeached.
341
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,020
- Why would we care?
- Because I have to
342
00:19:21,104 --> 00:19:23,356
- get re-elected in four years.
- Says who?
343
00:19:23,439 --> 00:19:24,649
Article II of the Constitution.
344
00:19:24,732 --> 00:19:26,067
New world, new rules.
345
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:28,111
Now shut the fuck up and listen.
346
00:19:28,194 --> 00:19:30,113
Our fates are connected now.
347
00:19:30,196 --> 00:19:33,449
Singer's as good as dead, and I am
the only fucking friend you've got left.
348
00:19:33,533 --> 00:19:37,120
The train has left the station,
gorgeous, and you're on it.
349
00:19:38,204 --> 00:19:41,582
You'll have to arrest half your company.
Half the country.
350
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:47,714
Wait, you think I didn't think of that?
Of course I thought of that.
351
00:19:48,715 --> 00:19:50,800
Fuck.
352
00:19:50,883 --> 00:19:54,804
- Ashley, on me now.
- Um, the response on socials has been mixed.
353
00:19:54,887 --> 00:19:57,306
I need you to make a list
of anyone within the company
354
00:19:57,390 --> 00:20:00,852
that has damaging information on me
or The Seven…
355
00:20:00,935 --> 00:20:02,311
but mostly me…
356
00:20:02,395 --> 00:20:03,980
anyone with any fucking
leverage whatsoever.
357
00:20:04,063 --> 00:20:06,149
- Yes.
- I need this fucking list yesterday.
358
00:20:06,232 --> 00:20:07,233
Yes, sir.
359
00:20:07,316 --> 00:20:08,609
You're a good girl.
360
00:20:10,778 --> 00:20:11,904
Um…
361
00:20:11,988 --> 00:20:15,116
- that doesn't sound good, Ashley.
- Oh, yeah, no shit, Ashley.
362
00:20:15,199 --> 00:20:16,367
Sorry, Ashley.
363
00:20:16,451 --> 00:20:17,994
Order!
364
00:20:18,077 --> 00:20:21,664
The purpose of the joint session
having concluded,
365
00:20:21,748 --> 00:20:25,877
pursuant to Senate Concurrent
Resolution 1, 118th congress,
366
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,172
the chair declares
the joint session resolved.
367
00:20:29,255 --> 00:20:32,425
…certified the election
despite the shocking news
368
00:20:32,508 --> 00:20:36,554
that vice president-elect
Victoria Neuman is super-abled.
369
00:20:36,637 --> 00:20:38,973
Protests have erupted all over the country
370
00:20:39,057 --> 00:20:40,683
- as Starlighters…
- That's the ballgame.
371
00:20:40,767 --> 00:20:43,269
Open season on Singer now.
Frenchie, tell me you got something.
372
00:20:43,352 --> 00:20:45,730
You want to try this instead of me?
373
00:20:45,813 --> 00:20:47,857
I'm working as fast as I can.
374
00:20:47,940 --> 00:20:49,650
Not fast enough.
375
00:20:49,734 --> 00:20:51,611
Multiple protestors have been injured…
376
00:20:51,694 --> 00:20:53,863
You seeing this?
377
00:20:53,946 --> 00:20:55,782
Get all the dirt on Neuman ready
in case we need to go nuclear.
378
00:20:55,865 --> 00:20:57,283
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What happened to the virus?
379
00:20:57,366 --> 00:20:59,035
There is no fucking virus.
380
00:20:59,118 --> 00:21:01,245
What? Fuck.
381
00:21:01,329 --> 00:21:04,207
Okay, well, you know she's gonna
kill us if we leak this, right?
382
00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:05,958
If I had another fucking choice,
trust me, I'd take it.
383
00:21:06,042 --> 00:21:07,335
All right, here goes fucking nothing.
384
00:21:07,418 --> 00:21:09,462
Hi.
385
00:21:10,254 --> 00:21:13,216
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. Fuck!
386
00:21:13,299 --> 00:21:14,842
- What? What happened?
- It's all gone.
387
00:21:14,926 --> 00:21:16,427
Everything we have on Neuman…
the murders,
388
00:21:16,511 --> 00:21:18,554
- her ties to Stan Edgar, everything.
- Okay, okay, wait a second.
389
00:21:18,638 --> 00:21:20,973
You got backups, right… another computer
or the motherfucking cloud?
390
00:21:21,057 --> 00:21:23,142
You're not hearing me. It's all gone.
The originals,
391
00:21:23,226 --> 00:21:24,602
the backups, we've got nothing.
392
00:21:25,686 --> 00:21:28,064
Ain't nothing stopping her then.
393
00:21:28,147 --> 00:21:29,816
Only one thing left to do.
394
00:21:29,899 --> 00:21:33,611
Frenchie, you stay here,
work fucking faster.
395
00:21:33,694 --> 00:21:35,071
Kimiko, you're with me.
396
00:21:35,154 --> 00:21:37,031
Listen, Hughie, I'm sending you
coordinates. You and Annie,
397
00:21:37,115 --> 00:21:38,783
- meet there ASAP.
- What's the plan?
398
00:21:38,866 --> 00:21:42,620
We fucked up our chance at offense.
All we got now is defense.
399
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:46,874
I am as shocked as you are
400
00:21:46,958 --> 00:21:49,836
by this profound betrayal of trust.
401
00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:52,755
In America, you tell people who you are
402
00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:55,091
before you ask for their vote.
403
00:21:55,174 --> 00:21:58,845
That's why I'm calling
for a new, free and fair election.
404
00:21:58,928 --> 00:22:00,972
Mark my words,
405
00:22:01,055 --> 00:22:03,349
if Victoria Neuman becomes vice president,
406
00:22:03,432 --> 00:22:06,060
it will be over my dead body
407
00:22:06,144 --> 00:22:08,020
because she had me assassinated.
408
00:22:09,188 --> 00:22:12,400
Wow. Guess you got to go
take a bullet for the geezer, don't you?
409
00:22:12,483 --> 00:22:14,443
I think it's more important
that I stay here.
410
00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:16,696
Your visitor's here.
411
00:22:16,779 --> 00:22:18,906
Send him in.
412
00:22:29,375 --> 00:22:30,835
Man, this is never gonna work.
413
00:22:31,961 --> 00:22:33,754
You got my text.
414
00:22:33,838 --> 00:22:35,464
I'm glad you came.
415
00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:38,801
You're almost taller than me now.
416
00:22:38,885 --> 00:22:41,470
There's no saving the kid.
He can't escape his own blood.
417
00:22:41,554 --> 00:22:42,722
What are they feeding you?
418
00:22:42,805 --> 00:22:44,682
And tell me there's vegetables
involved somewhere.
419
00:22:44,765 --> 00:22:46,434
There's lettuce on the burgers.
420
00:22:46,517 --> 00:22:48,227
I've missed you, kiddo.
421
00:22:49,478 --> 00:22:52,732
Listen, Ryan,
422
00:22:52,815 --> 00:22:55,610
we, uh, need to have
a bit of a serious chin wag.
423
00:22:55,693 --> 00:22:58,237
You look… really sick.
424
00:22:58,321 --> 00:22:59,780
Don't I know it.
425
00:23:01,574 --> 00:23:04,243
Mate, I've wished myself dead more times
426
00:23:04,327 --> 00:23:05,870
than I can count.
427
00:23:08,497 --> 00:23:11,000
And now here I am,
428
00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:12,335
and I want some more time.
429
00:23:12,418 --> 00:23:14,795
But I don't have it,
430
00:23:14,879 --> 00:23:16,756
and I don't have time
to ease you into this.
431
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:18,549
You're gonna have to kill him, Billy.
432
00:23:18,633 --> 00:23:20,635
You can't go back to the tower.
433
00:23:20,718 --> 00:23:23,221
You need to go with Aunt Grace.
What?
434
00:23:23,304 --> 00:23:25,181
Like when?
Now.
435
00:23:25,264 --> 00:23:27,350
Right now.
No, I-I can't.
436
00:23:27,433 --> 00:23:29,852
- My dad would find me.
- Not this time, kiddo.
437
00:23:31,729 --> 00:23:33,397
Well…
438
00:23:33,481 --> 00:23:35,024
I'm not sure I want to leave.
439
00:23:35,107 --> 00:23:38,277
I kind of like it there.
Well, parts of it.
440
00:23:38,361 --> 00:23:40,821
You see? You got to stab him with
the virus and you got to do it today.
441
00:23:40,905 --> 00:23:43,157
Ryan, no.
442
00:23:43,241 --> 00:23:45,409
Your Dad is a…
Grace.
443
00:23:47,245 --> 00:23:49,038
Look…
444
00:23:49,121 --> 00:23:52,375
when your mom died…
which weren't your fault…
445
00:23:53,542 --> 00:23:55,378
…you heard what she said.
446
00:23:55,461 --> 00:23:58,756
She had me promise to keep you safe,
and that's all I'm trying to do here.
447
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:01,384
Now, if you're telling me,
448
00:24:01,467 --> 00:24:03,469
I mean, seriously telling me,
449
00:24:03,552 --> 00:24:06,347
that the place you feel safest
450
00:24:06,430 --> 00:24:07,932
is with Homelander…
451
00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:13,813
…then I ain't gonna stop you.
452
00:24:26,659 --> 00:24:28,244
Do you want to play?
453
00:24:31,122 --> 00:24:34,458
All right, then. Come on.
454
00:24:48,681 --> 00:24:50,725
Have you seen Ryan?
No, but I can send a PA
455
00:24:50,808 --> 00:24:54,437
- to go look, if you need.
- No. No. Boys need their space.
456
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,814
- List?
- Oh, yeah. Um… Sorry.
457
00:24:56,897 --> 00:24:57,883
Thank you.
458
00:24:57,898 --> 00:24:59,734
I highlighted
anyone who's contract
459
00:24:59,817 --> 00:25:01,694
we'd have to pay out if they're…
460
00:25:02,945 --> 00:25:04,780
…let go.
461
00:25:04,864 --> 00:25:06,907
Great. Thank you. Good job.
462
00:25:06,991 --> 00:25:08,576
You're excused.
463
00:25:15,166 --> 00:25:16,959
You know, no problem. I can get it.
464
00:25:26,635 --> 00:25:28,012
Cilantro.
465
00:25:30,431 --> 00:25:31,432
Gentlemen.
466
00:25:31,515 --> 00:25:34,727
The Seven is a circle of trust.
467
00:25:38,147 --> 00:25:41,233
What we're gonna tell you
is extremely sensitive.
468
00:25:41,317 --> 00:25:42,985
- Got it?
- O Captain, my Captain.
469
00:25:44,487 --> 00:25:47,198
Robert Singer will be dead
470
00:25:47,281 --> 00:25:48,991
by end of business.
471
00:25:49,075 --> 00:25:50,618
Neuman will be sworn in.
472
00:25:50,701 --> 00:25:53,037
People will panic. There will be rioting,
473
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,664
bloodshed, et cetera, et cetera.
474
00:25:55,748 --> 00:26:00,044
Someone will have to swoop in
and restore order.
475
00:26:01,170 --> 00:26:03,839
We will put out the call
to every Vought hero,
476
00:26:03,923 --> 00:26:06,467
every fucking one,
to surround the Capitol,
477
00:26:06,550 --> 00:26:08,761
the White House, and the Pentagon.
478
00:26:08,844 --> 00:26:11,597
Defending the rightful President Neuman.
479
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,808
Now, what I need you two…
480
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:17,478
Fuck's sakes, get a Ricola.
481
00:26:17,561 --> 00:26:22,149
Sorry, sir. I'm-I'm so sorry.
I'm just… the meds, you know.
482
00:26:22,233 --> 00:26:24,735
You know, the… the meds.
483
00:26:27,113 --> 00:26:28,447
They're just, they're causing a little
484
00:26:28,531 --> 00:26:31,659
heart palpitation and a high fever,
but it ain't no big thing.
485
00:26:31,742 --> 00:26:33,411
Okay, well, you're coughing all over me,
and it's fucking disgusting.
486
00:26:33,494 --> 00:26:34,495
Go further down.
487
00:26:36,038 --> 00:26:37,039
Scoot.
488
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:52,680
Further.
489
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:05,109
As I was saying…
490
00:27:06,527 --> 00:27:08,279
…everyone on this list
491
00:27:08,362 --> 00:27:11,615
needs to be removed.
492
00:27:12,491 --> 00:27:14,368
Permanently, by the end of the day.
493
00:27:16,495 --> 00:27:19,039
Hey, if we're thinking about
who's got the most dirt on us,
494
00:27:19,123 --> 00:27:21,625
wouldn't Ashley's name be
at the top of the list?
495
00:27:23,377 --> 00:27:25,463
Yeah. Sure. Good idea.
496
00:27:30,426 --> 00:27:32,344
Does anybody know Ashley's last name?
497
00:27:39,768 --> 00:27:41,479
What the…?
498
00:28:40,788 --> 00:28:42,122
You seriously
telling us
499
00:28:42,206 --> 00:28:43,457
the Shifter can get through that?
500
00:28:43,541 --> 00:28:45,793
Look, for all I fucking know,
they could be in here already.
501
00:28:45,876 --> 00:28:49,171
So, from now on,
everybody moves with a partner,
502
00:28:49,255 --> 00:28:51,840
and you check in
every five minutes on the dot.
503
00:28:51,924 --> 00:28:54,218
Stay sharp and follow
motherfucking orders.
504
00:28:54,301 --> 00:28:56,178
Come on, let's get to it.
505
00:28:56,262 --> 00:28:57,846
Sir, you're gonna be all right.
506
00:28:57,930 --> 00:28:59,848
If you'd killed Neuman like I ordered,
507
00:28:59,932 --> 00:29:02,059
we wouldn't be stuck
four stories underground
508
00:29:02,142 --> 00:29:04,353
playing pocket pool, idiot.
509
00:29:06,855 --> 00:29:08,983
Balls.
510
00:29:09,066 --> 00:29:11,819
Kimiko, stay on Singer.
511
00:29:16,949 --> 00:29:19,618
Do you really think
the Shifter is in here?
512
00:29:19,702 --> 00:29:22,788
I hope not, for Christ's sake,
but it could be anyone,
513
00:29:22,871 --> 00:29:24,540
so eyes on everyone.
514
00:29:24,623 --> 00:29:26,166
Okay. You got it.
515
00:29:28,377 --> 00:29:30,921
Jesus.
516
00:29:32,506 --> 00:29:34,800
- You okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
517
00:29:34,883 --> 00:29:38,596
I'm just… warm.
518
00:29:38,679 --> 00:29:40,014
It's like a furnace in here.
519
00:29:41,932 --> 00:29:43,350
It's like a furnace in there.
520
00:29:50,065 --> 00:29:52,151
Y-You should go find some water.
521
00:29:52,234 --> 00:29:55,112
Yeah. Okay. Do you want one?
522
00:29:55,195 --> 00:29:56,905
I would love one.
523
00:29:56,989 --> 00:29:58,866
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
524
00:30:06,582 --> 00:30:08,167
Holy fucking shit.
525
00:30:33,734 --> 00:30:35,069
Balls.
526
00:30:35,152 --> 00:30:38,364
Hey. Hey, man. Hey, just… sorry.
Just something… stupid.
527
00:30:38,447 --> 00:30:40,074
Real quick, just don't look at me,
look right into the room.
528
00:30:40,157 --> 00:30:42,618
- Huh?
- Don't look at me, just look forward.
529
00:30:42,701 --> 00:30:44,870
- Don't look at me, just look forward.
- All right, all right, okay.
530
00:30:44,953 --> 00:30:47,289
Stay cool.
531
00:30:47,373 --> 00:30:49,416
- It's Annie.
- What's Annie?
532
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,335
- The Shifter, it's Annie.
- What?
533
00:30:51,418 --> 00:30:52,753
She's the Shifter.
Don't look at me, just look forward.
534
00:30:52,836 --> 00:30:53,879
How do you know?
535
00:30:53,962 --> 00:30:56,423
Just trust me, I don't know how
or when they switched, but that is
536
00:30:56,507 --> 00:30:59,134
- 100% percent not Annie.
- Okay, okay, okay, listen.
537
00:30:59,218 --> 00:31:02,346
The fate of the country relies on us
keeping our shit together, so just chill…
538
00:31:02,429 --> 00:31:04,765
- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey.
539
00:31:04,848 --> 00:31:05,891
Water?
540
00:31:05,974 --> 00:31:07,309
Thanks.
There you go.
541
00:31:07,393 --> 00:31:09,019
- Yeah, great.
- Mm-hmm.
542
00:31:10,270 --> 00:31:11,397
Mmm.
543
00:31:12,398 --> 00:31:15,401
Mmm. Mmm.
544
00:31:18,195 --> 00:31:19,405
What are you looking at?
545
00:31:21,323 --> 00:31:23,242
- Uh…
- I know.
546
00:31:26,078 --> 00:31:29,581
Oh. Wow… you…
547
00:31:30,916 --> 00:31:32,918
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
548
00:31:33,001 --> 00:31:34,002
Yep. We did that.
549
00:31:34,086 --> 00:31:36,171
That is a thing…
550
00:31:36,255 --> 00:31:37,840
that we did.
For the record,
551
00:31:37,923 --> 00:31:41,677
I proposed.
'Cause peg the patriarchy, right?
552
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,930
Yeah, peg the patriarchy.
You got to peg it…
553
00:31:45,013 --> 00:31:46,390
peg it in all its holes.
554
00:31:46,473 --> 00:31:47,558
Listen, getting hitched,
555
00:31:47,641 --> 00:31:48,934
best decision I ever made in my life,
556
00:31:49,017 --> 00:31:50,853
so congratulations to you both.
557
00:31:50,936 --> 00:31:53,313
But, uh, you know,
Mother Nature's calling,
558
00:31:53,397 --> 00:31:55,065
so I'm about to go hit the head, and…
559
00:31:55,149 --> 00:31:57,192
- y'all just hold down the fort…
- Yes, motherfucker.
560
00:31:58,444 --> 00:31:59,820
Sir, get down.
Sir, come with me.
561
00:31:59,903 --> 00:32:00,946
Aah!
562
00:32:01,029 --> 00:32:02,614
Sir, this way.
563
00:32:03,615 --> 00:32:04,992
Oh, shit.
564
00:32:17,963 --> 00:32:19,882
Oh, goddamn it.
565
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,487
Go.
566
00:33:24,780 --> 00:33:26,448
Come on.
567
00:33:26,532 --> 00:33:27,658
How many fucking numbers are there?
568
00:33:27,741 --> 00:33:29,618
Oh, God.
569
00:33:40,963 --> 00:33:43,006
Take Singer. Go.
570
00:33:43,090 --> 00:33:44,090
Now.
571
00:33:45,092 --> 00:33:47,427
Let's go.
Go.
572
00:33:47,511 --> 00:33:49,429
Hughie, go.
573
00:33:56,478 --> 00:34:00,649
You really think
your broke-down ass can take me?
574
00:34:00,732 --> 00:34:04,361
You couldn't even blast
yourself out, could you?
575
00:34:31,179 --> 00:34:33,098
You're right.
576
00:34:33,181 --> 00:34:35,726
I don't know if I'm a hero.
577
00:34:37,227 --> 00:34:40,439
I don't know who the fuck I am.
578
00:34:42,149 --> 00:34:46,695
But I do know
that I'm the bitch beating your ass.
579
00:35:20,270 --> 00:35:21,355
Victoria.
580
00:35:21,438 --> 00:35:23,106
Singer's alive. Your assassin failed.
581
00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:24,900
- What do you mean failed?
- Now the CIA's gonna find
582
00:35:24,983 --> 00:35:26,526
an even deeper hole to hide him in.
583
00:35:26,610 --> 00:35:28,320
Well, there's nothing on the news.
584
00:35:28,403 --> 00:35:30,572
Because he's gonna
hit me back quietly, and I'm fairly
585
00:35:30,656 --> 00:35:32,240
fucking sure he has the means to do it.
586
00:35:32,324 --> 00:35:33,617
Where is Sage?
587
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,495
Maybe she can find a way out
of this idiotic mess you've dropped us in.
588
00:35:36,578 --> 00:35:40,540
We have not failed.
I will end Singer myself if I have to.
589
00:35:40,624 --> 00:35:43,210
You will be president, and you will
590
00:35:43,293 --> 00:35:45,587
go along with every word I say
591
00:35:45,671 --> 00:35:49,675
as if my hand was jammed up
your tight, puckered little asshole,
592
00:35:49,758 --> 00:35:51,093
like the puppet you've always been.
593
00:35:51,176 --> 00:35:55,847
And, Victoria, if you stray
even an inch off that path,
594
00:35:55,931 --> 00:36:00,185
I will make sure Zoe knows nothing
but pain for the rest of her life,
595
00:36:00,268 --> 00:36:03,313
and I will send you
a piece of her every year
596
00:36:03,397 --> 00:36:05,357
for the fucking rest of yours.
597
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,068
There is no fail.
598
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:20,330
Well, guess who has two thumbs
599
00:36:20,414 --> 00:36:24,084
and is the motherfucking genius
of all fucking geniuses.
600
00:36:24,167 --> 00:36:25,585
The virus is…
601
00:36:27,254 --> 00:36:28,547
What happened to you guys?
602
00:36:58,285 --> 00:37:00,203
Hello, hello.
603
00:37:00,287 --> 00:37:03,040
Um, you okay?
604
00:37:03,123 --> 00:37:04,583
I'm great.
605
00:37:04,666 --> 00:37:06,626
Thank God you showed up.
606
00:37:07,711 --> 00:37:10,172
- How'd you find us, anyway?
- Find Your Phone.
607
00:37:11,381 --> 00:37:15,427
- I actually also found your fiancée.
- Oh…
608
00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:16,887
- Congratulations.
- No, she's not…
609
00:37:16,970 --> 00:37:18,013
She wasn't my fiancée.
610
00:37:18,096 --> 00:37:19,222
No, you're…
611
00:37:19,306 --> 00:37:22,684
You put the ring on her finger, Hughie.
612
00:37:22,768 --> 00:37:26,605
- Mm.
- I know because I pried it off her fucking dead hand!
613
00:37:26,688 --> 00:37:28,482
Look, I thought I was
getting engaged to you, all right?
614
00:37:28,565 --> 00:37:31,610
She looked just like you, you know,
right down to that freckle you have
615
00:37:31,693 --> 00:37:33,945
- down…
- So you did fuck her.
616
00:37:34,029 --> 00:37:35,155
I…
617
00:37:35,238 --> 00:37:36,364
I mean, you know…
618
00:37:36,448 --> 00:37:37,741
How many times?
619
00:37:37,824 --> 00:37:39,117
Had to be less than…
620
00:37:40,535 --> 00:37:41,620
…20.
621
00:37:41,703 --> 00:37:42,871
Oh, my fucking God.
622
00:37:42,954 --> 00:37:44,581
- I was gone for ten days.
- She almost
623
00:37:44,664 --> 00:37:47,042
always initiated, and, again,
I cannot overstate this enough,
624
00:37:47,125 --> 00:37:48,710
I thought it was you.
625
00:37:48,794 --> 00:37:51,338
Yeah, and as long as you were
getting laid, you didn't look too close.
626
00:37:51,421 --> 00:37:52,923
That's the Annie you want.
627
00:37:53,006 --> 00:37:54,883
Down to go down whenever.
The perfect girl.
628
00:37:54,966 --> 00:37:59,096
Not someone who is depressed or fucked-up
629
00:37:59,179 --> 00:38:00,889
or comes with any complications.
630
00:38:03,308 --> 00:38:04,935
You want to know how I knew it wasn't you?
631
00:38:07,646 --> 00:38:10,649
In the apartment
she wore some designer dress,
632
00:38:10,732 --> 00:38:13,151
and you always ditch your bra
for sweats as soon as you get home.
633
00:38:13,235 --> 00:38:14,903
She, she found your car keys
634
00:38:14,986 --> 00:38:18,490
on the first try, and you have never, ever
found your car keys in under 15 minutes.
635
00:38:18,573 --> 00:38:19,574
But the final clue:
636
00:38:19,658 --> 00:38:22,577
in the bunker she was sweating,
637
00:38:22,661 --> 00:38:27,207
and you have always been
and always will be 90% pashmina.
638
00:38:27,290 --> 00:38:29,084
I love that about you.
639
00:38:29,167 --> 00:38:30,877
All your weird, amazing
640
00:38:30,961 --> 00:38:33,255
fucked-up-ness, that's what makes you you.
641
00:38:34,756 --> 00:38:35,799
Annie, please.
642
00:38:38,802 --> 00:38:39,928
I can't.
643
00:38:45,976 --> 00:38:47,769
Fuck.
644
00:38:58,655 --> 00:38:59,823
Vicky?
645
00:38:59,906 --> 00:39:01,158
I want out.
646
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,994
Sorry, is-is this a joke?
647
00:39:05,036 --> 00:39:06,037
No.
648
00:39:07,205 --> 00:39:08,290
It's gone too far.
649
00:39:08,373 --> 00:39:10,375
No. No, you're just saying that
'cause the assassination failed.
650
00:39:10,458 --> 00:39:12,419
No, I'm saying it
'cause it'll never fucking end.
651
00:39:12,502 --> 00:39:15,881
Homelander's unhinged,
he's not even listening to Sage anymore.
652
00:39:15,964 --> 00:39:17,883
If I become president,
I'm just gonna be a puppet,
653
00:39:17,966 --> 00:39:19,551
and if I fight back, he'll…
654
00:39:22,762 --> 00:39:24,472
I'll resign without a fight.
655
00:39:24,556 --> 00:39:26,933
You just need to get the CIA off my ass
and get me and Zoe out.
656
00:39:27,017 --> 00:39:28,393
Okay, fuck all the way off.
657
00:39:28,476 --> 00:39:30,187
You're like the asshole who cried wolf.
658
00:39:30,270 --> 00:39:32,397
- I mean, the shit that you have done…
- Oh, what?
659
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,649
Like how you got Sameer to cook up
some more of the virus to kill me?
660
00:39:34,733 --> 00:39:36,318
Oh, and, yeah, cut off his fucking leg!
661
00:39:36,401 --> 00:39:37,903
Ah.
662
00:39:37,986 --> 00:39:40,071
Glad you two connected. Okay.
663
00:39:40,155 --> 00:39:41,656
So the leg thing wasn't me,
664
00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:43,700
and you didn't exactly leave us
with a ton of options.
665
00:39:43,783 --> 00:39:46,453
Look, the point is,
you hit me, I hit you back,
666
00:39:46,536 --> 00:39:47,954
and it never fucking ends.
667
00:39:48,038 --> 00:39:49,372
WarGames, Hughie.
668
00:39:51,458 --> 00:39:53,043
The only way to win is not to play.
669
00:39:58,423 --> 00:39:59,674
I thought I wanted this.
670
00:39:59,758 --> 00:40:01,843
Not for Zoe or…
671
00:40:01,927 --> 00:40:04,387
Edgar but for me.
672
00:40:04,471 --> 00:40:08,183
You know, I just…
I wanted to feel safe, and not like
673
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:10,477
that scared fucking kid at Red River.
674
00:40:13,730 --> 00:40:16,399
But I don't feel safe,
and I'm really fucking scared.
675
00:40:18,902 --> 00:40:20,987
And I'm not getting Zoe killed over this.
676
00:40:24,908 --> 00:40:26,618
This is the only way.
677
00:40:27,702 --> 00:40:29,079
Vicky, I don't know how to trust you.
678
00:40:30,372 --> 00:40:31,915
I'll tell you where Zoe is.
679
00:40:33,333 --> 00:40:34,668
Is she okay?
680
00:40:34,751 --> 00:40:37,587
Yeah, but if I get her,
it'll draw too much attention.
681
00:40:37,671 --> 00:40:39,214
And that's how you know you can trust me,
682
00:40:39,297 --> 00:40:41,925
because I am trusting
my daughter with you.
683
00:40:43,969 --> 00:40:46,096
Please, Hughie.
684
00:40:46,179 --> 00:40:49,808
You're literally the only person on Earth
I can turn to right now.
685
00:41:01,444 --> 00:41:03,113
Enough fucking running.
686
00:41:15,542 --> 00:41:17,043
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
687
00:41:17,127 --> 00:41:19,129
Sorry, bro, you're on the list.
688
00:41:19,212 --> 00:41:21,548
Don't kill me. I can pay you.
689
00:41:21,631 --> 00:41:22,799
You're a writer.
690
00:41:22,882 --> 00:41:24,134
- You don't get paid shit.
- Please…
691
00:41:24,217 --> 00:41:25,468
I-I'll do anything.
692
00:41:28,471 --> 00:41:29,514
Anything?
693
00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:33,685
Tell me I'm the smartest
superhero in The Seven.
694
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:38,565
You are, by far,
the smartest superhero in The Seven.
695
00:41:38,648 --> 00:41:40,191
You're brilliant, a genius.
696
00:41:40,275 --> 00:41:43,320
And that you respect me the most.
Besides Homelander, of course.
697
00:41:43,403 --> 00:41:45,405
Of course. Of course I respect you.
698
00:41:45,488 --> 00:41:47,949
You-You're amazing.
699
00:41:48,033 --> 00:41:50,577
You're just saying that
'cause you're scared, aren't you?
700
00:41:50,660 --> 00:41:51,911
No, I'm not.
701
00:41:51,995 --> 00:41:54,497
- I swear.
- Yeah, you are.
702
00:41:55,957 --> 00:41:57,542
But you know what, bro?
703
00:41:58,835 --> 00:42:00,170
That's good enough for me.
704
00:42:14,142 --> 00:42:16,770
Yo, have you seen Ashley?
705
00:42:16,853 --> 00:42:18,563
This is Ashley.
706
00:42:21,316 --> 00:42:22,317
No, bro.
707
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,319
The other Ashley.
708
00:42:25,820 --> 00:42:27,655
This Ashley's not even on the list.
Well, I don't know.
709
00:42:27,739 --> 00:42:29,449
Everyone here's named fucking Ashley.
710
00:42:30,909 --> 00:42:32,535
Bro.
711
00:42:40,835 --> 00:42:42,629
Murder boner.
712
00:42:42,712 --> 00:42:44,464
You've got to be kidding me.
Look,
713
00:42:44,547 --> 00:42:46,674
if we can flip Neuman,
as powerful as she is,
714
00:42:46,758 --> 00:42:48,843
with everything
that she has on Vought, I mean,
715
00:42:48,927 --> 00:42:50,678
if there's even a five percent chance.
716
00:42:50,762 --> 00:42:53,306
Alors, what, just forget
that Neuman is a monster?
717
00:42:53,390 --> 00:42:55,225
I'm not saying that. I'm saying…
718
00:42:55,308 --> 00:42:57,102
Look, we've all done bad shit.
719
00:42:57,185 --> 00:42:59,729
What if she's just fucked-up
like the rest of us,
720
00:42:59,813 --> 00:43:01,481
just trying to do right by her kid?
721
00:43:01,564 --> 00:43:04,526
It's insane
that we're even discussing this.
722
00:43:04,609 --> 00:43:07,195
What's insane is
that our solution to every problem
723
00:43:07,278 --> 00:43:08,363
is murder.
724
00:43:08,446 --> 00:43:11,032
I used to freak out whenever I saw blood.
725
00:43:11,116 --> 00:43:12,700
Now I barely blink at it.
726
00:43:13,993 --> 00:43:15,412
It shouldn't be that way.
727
00:43:15,495 --> 00:43:17,622
This isn't some fucking Vought movie.
728
00:43:17,705 --> 00:43:19,332
Violence isn't brave.
729
00:43:19,416 --> 00:43:21,751
Neither is hating my mom
730
00:43:21,835 --> 00:43:23,711
or A-Train or…
731
00:43:23,795 --> 00:43:24,921
anyone.
732
00:43:25,004 --> 00:43:26,631
But forgiveness,
733
00:43:26,714 --> 00:43:27,799
letting go,
734
00:43:27,882 --> 00:43:29,300
a little fucking mercy…
735
00:43:29,384 --> 00:43:31,094
that's brave.
736
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:33,763
It's crazy.
737
00:43:33,847 --> 00:43:35,765
But it's brave.
738
00:43:37,892 --> 00:43:40,311
It's about the last thing my dad
ever taught me, and I just think…
739
00:43:41,896 --> 00:43:43,398
…if we're ever gonna win
against monsters,
740
00:43:43,481 --> 00:43:45,525
I think we need to start acting human.
741
00:43:51,573 --> 00:43:52,991
Fuck it.
742
00:43:55,326 --> 00:43:57,954
Really? Just… fuck it?
743
00:43:58,037 --> 00:43:59,956
Annie, we're probably dead either way.
744
00:44:00,957 --> 00:44:02,792
Might as well go out
with our heads held high.
745
00:44:02,876 --> 00:44:04,294
So…
746
00:44:04,377 --> 00:44:05,879
- fuck it.
- Oh.
747
00:44:05,962 --> 00:44:07,005
Great.
748
00:44:07,088 --> 00:44:08,506
Look,
749
00:44:08,590 --> 00:44:10,091
taking a chance with A-Train,
750
00:44:10,175 --> 00:44:12,177
that shit was crazy.
751
00:44:12,260 --> 00:44:13,845
But look at how it turned out.
752
00:44:17,098 --> 00:44:18,641
Shit.
753
00:44:20,727 --> 00:44:22,061
Fuck it.
754
00:44:22,145 --> 00:44:23,521
Petit Hughie,
755
00:44:23,605 --> 00:44:24,606
if you're wrong…
756
00:44:24,689 --> 00:44:26,065
Trust but verify.
757
00:44:26,149 --> 00:44:29,652
But, Frenchie, can you get that virus
into Neuman's system?
758
00:44:29,736 --> 00:44:31,779
With a carbon metamaterial tip
759
00:44:31,863 --> 00:44:33,573
to a dart gun
760
00:44:33,656 --> 00:44:36,242
and I aim for soft tissue…
761
00:44:37,452 --> 00:44:38,536
…perhaps.
762
00:44:38,620 --> 00:44:39,621
Then do it.
763
00:44:39,704 --> 00:44:42,540
'Cause if this is a trap,
at least we ain't walking in blind.
764
00:44:42,624 --> 00:44:46,252
And, Hughie, if Neuman even blinks funny,
765
00:44:46,336 --> 00:44:48,087
Frenchie's dropping her.
766
00:44:48,171 --> 00:44:50,131
Fair. Got it.
767
00:44:52,133 --> 00:44:53,134
Look, Annie…
768
00:44:53,218 --> 00:44:54,552
Shut up.
769
00:44:54,636 --> 00:44:59,474
You are getting tested
for every single disease known to mankind.
770
00:44:59,557 --> 00:45:01,100
Okay?
771
00:45:01,184 --> 00:45:02,852
I'm not getting Shifter syphilis.
772
00:45:09,692 --> 00:45:11,861
Fuck yeah, Hughie. Fuck yeah.
773
00:45:16,699 --> 00:45:18,952
You really think this is wise?
774
00:45:20,411 --> 00:45:22,872
What if Hughie's right?
775
00:45:23,706 --> 00:45:29,087
What if forgiveness is the best we can do?
776
00:45:30,213 --> 00:45:31,297
Even to Neuman?
777
00:45:31,548 --> 00:45:33,508
To Neuman.
778
00:45:33,591 --> 00:45:35,843
To ourselves.
779
00:45:38,429 --> 00:45:41,474
Neuman is easy compared to us.
780
00:45:43,977 --> 00:45:45,311
How?
781
00:45:46,771 --> 00:45:51,818
We try a little every day, I guess.
782
00:45:58,866 --> 00:46:04,831
You know how I said
you should be with Colin?
783
00:46:04,914 --> 00:46:06,332
Oui.
784
00:46:08,668 --> 00:46:11,004
I lied.
785
00:46:12,046 --> 00:46:15,717
I just thought you deserved
to be with someone…
786
00:46:19,637 --> 00:46:23,850
Better than me.
787
00:46:25,602 --> 00:46:26,811
Mon coeur…
788
00:46:28,563 --> 00:46:31,274
…there is no one…
789
00:46:32,817 --> 00:46:33,985
…better than you.
790
00:47:13,775 --> 00:47:14,901
You know I can hear you.
791
00:47:17,070 --> 00:47:19,489
"Marvin said there was an attempt
on Singer's life.
792
00:47:19,572 --> 00:47:21,324
He survived."
We know.
793
00:47:21,407 --> 00:47:24,243
There's just some things you don't got
to worry about. That's all.
794
00:47:24,327 --> 00:47:26,162
They're gonna try again,
and that virus
795
00:47:26,245 --> 00:47:27,747
is a Hail Mary at best.
796
00:47:27,830 --> 00:47:30,333
We are out of time
and out of better options.
797
00:47:30,416 --> 00:47:31,959
Ryan needs to know the truth.
798
00:47:32,043 --> 00:47:33,378
And we'll get there.
799
00:47:33,461 --> 00:47:34,962
What truth?
800
00:47:36,839 --> 00:47:38,716
The assassination attempt,
801
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,802
it was on your father's orders.
802
00:47:42,011 --> 00:47:43,096
What?
803
00:47:43,179 --> 00:47:45,515
And Flight 37…
804
00:47:45,598 --> 00:47:48,935
Homelander killed every soul on board.
805
00:47:49,018 --> 00:47:50,019
Grace.
806
00:47:50,103 --> 00:47:51,104
You're lying.
807
00:47:51,187 --> 00:47:52,188
We have it on video.
808
00:47:52,271 --> 00:47:53,981
And he's murdered countless more.
809
00:47:54,065 --> 00:47:55,858
- Your father isn't who you think he is.
- Just stop.
810
00:47:55,942 --> 00:47:58,194
- And he wasn't having an affair with your mother.
- Grace.
811
00:47:58,277 --> 00:47:59,362
He raped her.
812
00:48:10,081 --> 00:48:12,208
I'm sorry, son.
813
00:48:12,291 --> 00:48:14,544
And?
814
00:48:15,628 --> 00:48:17,130
Your heart's pounding.
815
00:48:17,213 --> 00:48:19,674
There's something you're not telling me.
816
00:48:19,757 --> 00:48:21,676
And you're the only one who can stop him.
817
00:48:21,759 --> 00:48:23,845
S-Stop him?
818
00:48:23,928 --> 00:48:25,847
Like, kill him?
819
00:48:25,930 --> 00:48:27,348
No. No, I can't.
820
00:48:27,432 --> 00:48:28,725
Don't ask me to.
821
00:48:28,808 --> 00:48:30,017
Ryan, you're strong.
822
00:48:30,101 --> 00:48:31,728
- He's stronger.
- We'll train you.
823
00:48:31,811 --> 00:48:33,855
- Get you ready.
- So this is why you want me to go with you?
824
00:48:33,938 --> 00:48:36,607
So you can teach me how to kill my dad?
825
00:48:36,691 --> 00:48:38,151
I have to go.
826
00:48:38,234 --> 00:48:39,694
No, just stay.
827
00:48:39,777 --> 00:48:41,863
- We'll talk it out together.
- I don't want to talk.
828
00:48:41,946 --> 00:48:43,656
I'll be back, I just need to think.
829
00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:45,867
Listen, Ryan, there ain't gonna be
another time for you and me.
830
00:48:45,950 --> 00:48:47,577
All right? Let's just take a breather.
Yeah?
831
00:48:47,660 --> 00:48:49,162
You can't leave.
832
00:48:54,584 --> 00:48:56,502
Wait.
833
00:48:56,586 --> 00:48:58,713
These walls are six feet thick.
834
00:48:58,796 --> 00:49:00,715
This is the CIA's Hazlet safe house.
835
00:49:00,798 --> 00:49:02,341
Designed to hold people like you.
836
00:49:02,425 --> 00:49:05,052
I could seal us in here,
flood the room with halothane.
837
00:49:05,136 --> 00:49:07,263
And we all take a nice, long nap.
838
00:49:07,346 --> 00:49:09,849
- But I don't want to do that, kiddo.
- You planned this.
839
00:49:09,932 --> 00:49:12,185
All along.
You, you brought me here to trap me.
840
00:49:12,268 --> 00:49:14,103
No, no. We brought you here to help you.
841
00:49:14,187 --> 00:49:16,689
You're locking me in a cage
unless I agree to be your weapon.
842
00:49:16,773 --> 00:49:18,316
Just like they did to my dad.
843
00:49:18,399 --> 00:49:20,443
That ain't the way it is, honest.
844
00:49:22,111 --> 00:49:23,780
- Let me go.
- Ryan.
845
00:49:23,863 --> 00:49:25,948
When I lost my grandkids, it left
846
00:49:26,032 --> 00:49:29,118
this big empty black hole inside me.
847
00:49:29,202 --> 00:49:32,079
Then the greatest miracle came along.
848
00:49:32,163 --> 00:49:33,915
You.
849
00:49:37,168 --> 00:49:39,128
I love you, kiddo.
850
00:49:39,212 --> 00:49:40,755
Please.
851
00:49:40,838 --> 00:49:43,925
Aunt Grace… I want to leave.
852
00:49:44,008 --> 00:49:45,760
- I'm sorry.
- Get out of my way.
853
00:49:45,843 --> 00:49:47,637
Grace.
854
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:48,623
I'm sorry.
855
00:49:48,638 --> 00:49:50,640
No!
856
00:50:53,411 --> 00:50:54,912
What?
857
00:50:58,499 --> 00:51:01,043
Hello, hello.
858
00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:06,757
You took your braces off,
since last time we saw you.
859
00:51:06,841 --> 00:51:09,010
- Let's not do that.
- Uh-huh.
860
00:51:09,093 --> 00:51:10,970
How's this gonna work, Neuman?
861
00:51:11,053 --> 00:51:12,513
Simple.
862
00:51:12,597 --> 00:51:14,348
You help me get clear of Homelander,
863
00:51:14,432 --> 00:51:16,601
and Singer's people at the CIA.
864
00:51:17,685 --> 00:51:19,854
And I go quietly.
Mm.
865
00:51:19,937 --> 00:51:23,357
- And you'll owe us one.
- A lot more than one.
866
00:51:25,818 --> 00:51:28,362
I will owe you many.
867
00:51:28,446 --> 00:51:31,407
Great. So you're gonna help us
868
00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:32,992
take down Vought
869
00:51:33,075 --> 00:51:34,744
and Homelander.
870
00:51:38,247 --> 00:51:39,665
Oi.
871
00:51:45,713 --> 00:51:47,173
Butcher?
872
00:51:49,008 --> 00:51:50,718
No deals.
873
00:51:52,053 --> 00:51:55,014
I can explain, all right?
It's all good. I know
874
00:51:55,097 --> 00:51:57,558
what this looks like, but with everything
that we've been through together,
875
00:51:57,642 --> 00:52:01,520
I've never once asked you to trust me.
I am asking now.
876
00:52:01,604 --> 00:52:04,023
Like the way you used to trust Lenny.
877
00:52:06,442 --> 00:52:08,861
Please, Butcher.
878
00:52:41,477 --> 00:52:43,396
Stop!
879
00:52:45,815 --> 00:52:48,109
No, no, no, no.
880
00:53:22,351 --> 00:53:23,769
Stop. Stop.
881
00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:27,815
It's suicide.
882
00:53:30,401 --> 00:53:32,903
I'll be taking that virus now,
thanks, Frenchie.
883
00:53:32,987 --> 00:53:34,405
Ain't no fucking way.
884
00:53:35,740 --> 00:53:37,324
You took V?
885
00:53:37,408 --> 00:53:40,077
It will work on you, too.
886
00:53:54,341 --> 00:53:56,260
If I were you lot,
887
00:53:56,343 --> 00:53:57,928
I wouldn't hang about.
888
00:54:02,558 --> 00:54:04,810
Oh, by the way.
889
00:54:08,522 --> 00:54:10,941
You're all fucking welcome.
890
00:54:27,708 --> 00:54:31,629
We are interrupting our regular reporting
with a breaking news story,
891
00:54:31,712 --> 00:54:33,964
that at… I'm sorry, I'm just
892
00:54:34,048 --> 00:54:36,926
looking to my producers here.
Is this confirmed?
893
00:54:37,009 --> 00:54:39,845
They're, they're,
they're telling me it has been.
894
00:54:39,929 --> 00:54:43,474
The Vice President-Elect,
Victoria Neuman, is dead.
895
00:54:43,557 --> 00:54:45,726
Assassinated today only hours
896
00:54:45,810 --> 00:54:49,021
after revealing to the world
that she is super-abled…
897
00:54:49,105 --> 00:54:51,190
Where's Ryan?
898
00:54:51,273 --> 00:54:54,068
This was all for him after all, right?
899
00:54:54,151 --> 00:54:56,278
What are you doing here?
900
00:54:56,362 --> 00:54:58,114
Celebrating.
901
00:54:58,197 --> 00:54:59,907
We won. Here.
902
00:55:02,034 --> 00:55:03,702
Everything's turned to shit.
903
00:55:03,786 --> 00:55:05,037
Plan's dead.
904
00:55:05,121 --> 00:55:07,081
This is the plan.
905
00:55:07,164 --> 00:55:10,000
I mean, sure, a few curveballs,
906
00:55:10,084 --> 00:55:12,920
but, uh, we got here.
907
00:55:13,003 --> 00:55:14,922
Just had to keep a few bits to myself.
908
00:55:15,005 --> 00:55:16,799
You know, the bits you'd fuck up by…
909
00:55:18,175 --> 00:55:20,177
…you know, being you.
910
00:55:20,261 --> 00:55:21,887
Neuman would have been a shit patsy.
911
00:55:21,971 --> 00:55:23,389
Stubborn, too many ideas.
912
00:55:23,472 --> 00:55:25,516
So I went another way.
913
00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:28,144
…Bob Singer himself
ordering the assassination.
914
00:55:28,227 --> 00:55:30,729
If you'd killed Neuman like I ordered,
915
00:55:30,813 --> 00:55:34,066
we wouldn't be stuck four stories
underground playing pocket pool.
916
00:55:34,150 --> 00:55:35,568
And now we go live.
917
00:55:35,651 --> 00:55:37,778
Okay, that's President-Elect Robert Singer
918
00:55:37,862 --> 00:55:39,989
taken into custody by federal agents…
919
00:55:40,072 --> 00:55:41,365
She tried to kill me first.
920
00:55:41,448 --> 00:55:44,535
…in an unprecedented turn
of events that is
921
00:55:44,618 --> 00:55:48,497
certain to go down
as one of the darkest days…
922
00:55:49,582 --> 00:55:51,000
Oh.
923
00:55:51,083 --> 00:55:53,210
It's for you.
924
00:55:55,754 --> 00:55:57,006
Who is it?
925
00:55:57,089 --> 00:55:59,091
Oh, Speaker of the House Calhoun.
926
00:55:59,175 --> 00:56:00,926
Once they invoke the 25th,
927
00:56:01,010 --> 00:56:02,553
he's next in line to be president.
928
00:56:02,636 --> 00:56:04,847
He'd like to pledge his allegiance to you.
929
00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:12,730
To me?
930
00:56:14,148 --> 00:56:15,232
Just like I promised.
931
00:56:15,316 --> 00:56:16,567
We had a deal.
932
00:56:16,650 --> 00:56:17,985
Yeah, well, I broke the deal.
933
00:56:18,068 --> 00:56:19,737
I didn't.
934
00:56:19,820 --> 00:56:21,197
I told you,
935
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,449
you could trust me, boo.
936
00:56:23,532 --> 00:56:25,534
I got your back.
937
00:56:34,835 --> 00:56:37,796
I-I threw you out like…
938
00:56:38,923 --> 00:56:40,216
…like garbage.
939
00:56:42,218 --> 00:56:43,469
Why would you do this?
940
00:56:45,763 --> 00:56:47,765
To see if I could.
941
00:56:50,226 --> 00:56:52,019
Thank you.
942
00:56:52,102 --> 00:56:54,355
This was so much fun.
943
00:56:54,438 --> 00:56:56,357
Whoo.
944
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,943
Just, you know, next time,
945
00:56:59,026 --> 00:57:01,070
listen to me.
946
00:57:04,281 --> 00:57:05,824
Next time?
947
00:57:05,908 --> 00:57:07,910
Oh, hells yeah, blond ambition.
948
00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:11,956
Buckle up for phase two.
949
00:57:26,971 --> 00:57:28,681
Homelander speaking.
950
00:57:28,764 --> 00:57:31,934
And that is why, as my first official act,
951
00:57:32,017 --> 00:57:35,104
under Article One,
Section Nine of the Constitution,
952
00:57:35,187 --> 00:57:37,690
I'm declaring martial law
953
00:57:37,940 --> 00:57:42,194
and deputizing hundreds
of superheroes nationwide,
954
00:57:42,278 --> 00:57:44,154
who will report directly
955
00:57:44,238 --> 00:57:47,408
to Homelander himself.
956
00:57:47,491 --> 00:57:49,285
- To keep…
- Thank you, Mr. President.
957
00:57:53,914 --> 00:57:57,209
Victoria Neuman, she was a great American.
958
00:57:57,293 --> 00:57:58,919
And a dear, dear friend.
959
00:57:59,003 --> 00:58:00,546
Murdered
960
00:58:00,629 --> 00:58:03,841
in cold blood by deep-state Starlighters
961
00:58:03,924 --> 00:58:06,260
embedded in our own government.
962
00:58:06,343 --> 00:58:09,305
Now that we have full legal authority,
963
00:58:09,388 --> 00:58:12,516
a veritable army of superheroes
will be called upon
964
00:58:12,599 --> 00:58:16,645
to rout these traitors from our government
and from our streets.
965
00:58:17,688 --> 00:58:19,857
America will be safe again.
966
00:58:19,940 --> 00:58:21,483
And to the Starlighters,
967
00:58:21,567 --> 00:58:23,694
whatever rock you're hiding under,
968
00:58:23,777 --> 00:58:26,613
we're coming for you.
969
00:58:26,697 --> 00:58:28,407
I'm coming for you.
970
00:58:29,867 --> 00:58:32,161
Because today…
971
00:58:33,495 --> 00:58:36,457
…a new age of superheroes begins.
972
00:58:36,540 --> 00:58:40,711
* She eyes me like a Pisces *
973
00:58:40,794 --> 00:58:44,923
* When I am weak *
974
00:58:46,717 --> 00:58:51,472
* I've been locked
inside your heart-shaped box *
975
00:58:51,555 --> 00:58:54,266
* For weeks *
976
00:58:55,726 --> 00:58:58,312
* I've been drawn into *
977
00:58:58,395 --> 00:59:03,233
* Your magnet tar pit trap *
978
00:59:05,986 --> 00:59:09,406
* I wish I could eat your cancer *
979
00:59:09,490 --> 00:59:13,660
* When you turn black…
980
00:59:14,787 --> 00:59:17,122
We wake up to a new world.
981
00:59:17,206 --> 00:59:19,583
Where hope, purity
982
00:59:19,666 --> 00:59:22,753
and Jesus's love shine down upon us all.
983
00:59:22,836 --> 00:59:27,383
Where children can sleep peacefully
in their mothers' arms,
984
00:59:27,466 --> 00:59:31,804
knowing Starlight's pedo agenda
has been thwarted.
985
00:59:34,932 --> 00:59:37,142
* Hey, wait *
986
00:59:37,226 --> 00:59:39,228
* I got a new complaint *
987
00:59:39,311 --> 00:59:40,646
Kimiko!
988
00:59:40,729 --> 00:59:43,857
* Forever in debt
to your priceless advice *
989
00:59:43,941 --> 00:59:46,568
* Hey, wait *
990
00:59:46,652 --> 00:59:48,654
* I got a new complaint *
991
00:59:48,737 --> 00:59:51,532
* Forever in debt *
992
00:59:51,615 --> 00:59:55,202
* To your priceless advice *
993
00:59:57,287 --> 01:00:00,624
* Your advice *
994
01:00:04,670 --> 01:00:08,048
Where America
finally sees the woke mob
995
01:00:08,132 --> 01:00:10,926
for what it is:
monsters who want to destroy
996
01:00:11,009 --> 01:00:14,304
our heritage, traffic our children,
997
01:00:14,388 --> 01:00:16,473
and feminize our men.
998
01:00:18,392 --> 01:00:21,228
Where, with Homelander's guidance…
999
01:00:24,773 --> 01:00:27,359
…we will all come together in unity.
1000
01:00:32,406 --> 01:00:33,991
No.
1001
01:00:34,074 --> 01:00:36,702
No. No!
1002
01:00:36,785 --> 01:00:39,538
No!
1003
01:00:40,581 --> 01:00:43,000
No!
1004
01:00:50,507 --> 01:00:53,385
* Your advice *
1005
01:00:57,806 --> 01:01:00,350
We will make America
1006
01:01:00,434 --> 01:01:03,061
strong again.
1007
01:01:03,145 --> 01:01:05,314
Proud again.
1008
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:11,945
And most of all,
1009
01:01:12,029 --> 01:01:14,990
we will make America super again.
1010
01:01:15,073 --> 01:01:17,576
* Hey, wait *
1011
01:01:17,659 --> 01:01:19,786
* I got a new complaint *
1012
01:01:19,870 --> 01:01:22,289
* Forever in debt *
1013
01:01:22,372 --> 01:01:26,710
* To your priceless advice *
1014
01:01:28,212 --> 01:01:31,465
* Your advice *
1015
01:01:32,883 --> 01:01:36,637
* Your advice * *
1016
01:01:45,479 --> 01:01:46,980
How long have you known?
1017
01:01:47,064 --> 01:01:49,525
Only since this morning's
classified briefing.
1018
01:01:52,569 --> 01:01:54,571
You were my first call.
1019
01:01:55,739 --> 01:01:57,366
Hand to God.
1020
01:02:04,081 --> 01:02:06,250
You got to be fucking kidding me.
1021
01:02:07,918 --> 01:02:09,711
This whole time.
