[Butcher] The answer to all our prayers.
A virus that kills Supes.
[Frenchie] Somebody's been running tests.
Holy shit.
Let's go.
Sameer, is the virus gone?
[Butcher] That's the only dose.
So we inject it into your dead buddy over here,
to infect the crazy fucking flying sheep.
- Where's Sameer? - [FBSA agent] We couldn't find Dr. Shah.
She knew the difference between right and wrong.
That baby killer!
- [grunting] - [Sage] You set me up
and you fell for it.
[Homelander] What's your next step?
[Sage] The world ripped down, rebuilt in your image.
Jesus fucking Christ, are you serious?
Shh.
[Homelander] We recently found a leak.
- I'm still gonna fuck your wife. - [grunts]
[Hugh Sr.] There's something wrong with me.
I don't know what to do!
I love you so much.
[Hughie crying]
[Frenchie] Some sins deserve eternal damnation.
I have committed murders.
We don't belong with decent people.
We are monsters so other people don't have to be.
[Sameer] You chopped off my fucking leg!
You'll be back to work in no time.
- What work? - [Butcher] You're gonna make us
some more of that virus.
Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey, motherfucker.
[groans]
Now listen up, son.
We been awfully patient with you...
...but it's time to stop fucking about and get the job done.
[gags, exhales]
Mary's little lamb is starting to stink.
I could just bash your fucking head in, jog your memory.
Or, alternatively...
...you just give us a list of what you need
to extract the virus.
You cut off my fucking leg, you chain me here... For what?
[panicked groan]
[Butcher] Listen, mate. I'm the only thing
that's standing between you and a murderball game at the Y.
You don't understand, I can't.
I can't. Vicky, Zoe... I can't.
[screams]
Could just send you back to them in a fucking bucket,
you don't do whatever the fuck we say.
[coughing]
You all right?
Yeah, right as rain.
You got a week.
And make it strong enough to top Homelander.
A week? This could take months!
A week.
[sobs]
Don't let him fall asleep this time.

JLo's maid Marisa, asking if any part of their love was real.

[Hughie] It's what he wanted.
My God, did he love Maid in Manhattan.

- Right? - It's so bad.
[both chuckling]
I just feel like maybe I shouldn't leave, you know?
You know, you can call me anytime, I can come in same day...
Yeah, but people back home really need their Voughtality beauty care, right?
Really, I'm...
- I'm fine. - Yeah?
Yeah.
Is she okay?
[Hughie] Kimiko? Our friend Frenchie
just turned himself in for a bunch of murders he committed
for this Russian mob boss,
but Kimiko's upset that he didn't talk to her about it first, so...
Who the fuck are your friends?
Abortion is murder!
- Hey, fuck off, asshole! - Hughie, Hughie...
Hey, stop, stop, please, please, please.
Okay, sorry. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - I am so sorry, Daphne, I'm so sorry.
- That man is a piece of shit, dear. - [laughs softly]

They killed Cameron Coleman because they thought that he was the fucking leak.
Oh, shit.
Listen, I can't do this shit anymore, man.
- I'm done! - All right.
No one ever said this would be easy.
Think about your brother, your nephews...
They'd be so proud of you, man.
Who cares what my family thinks if I'm already fucking dead?
Calm down.
Now walk me through everything.
And let's process this shit together, all right?
This is so fucked!
So before Cameron got beaten to death,
Homelander was seen putting Supes together like a...
An army.
Mm-hmm.
And then A-Train saw Tek-Knight talking to Sage.
Looked like they were planning something--
You want to talk to Tek-Knight.
Now, he's having a Federalist Society party tonight at his estate.

there is no team-up.

You look like you got ass-fucked by the business end of a hammer.
Well, maybe I don't want to be at this CPAC nightmare
any more than they want me here.
There's gonna be a little sidebar later on.
One percent of the one percent.
Sage here is going to lube them up with cognac and Montecristos,
and then convince them to commit a little high treason.
I'm sorry, what the fuck?
Why would I expose myself like that?
Because in this room is 38% of the U.S. GDP.

Hmm. Details are fairly sketchy as to why.

but literally like seven file boxes of shitty Buster Beaver drawings?
Why'd he have that?
Who the fuck knows or cares?
[sighs] I'm going to Missouri tomorrow.
I booked Cirque de Vought's new show, VIVANT! Music of the Bee Gees.
Three nights a week in Branson.
They're gonna let me fly.
I can fly, did you know that?
Yeah, dude, we all know that. Look, why didn't you just come to me?
About what?
Seriously? Dude.
[sighs] Man, me and the old Noir?
We were like great bros, like real bros.
[sighs] Give me this.
[glassware clinking]
Few years ago, Noir cleared out an entire Indonesian fishing village.
Vought Fresh Farms was expanding their palm oil plantation,
but the locals were bitching 'cause they needed the river
to survive or whatever the fuck.
Noir "cancelled" two dozen of 'em.
Came back with a raging hard-on for a week.
[chuckles]
No, dude, see, what you're not getting
is how horny killing made the old Noir.
That was his whole thing.
But I don't really like violence.
[inhales, sighs]
Look, I know this is hard to imagine, but...
some people laugh at me.
[chuckles] It's crazy, right?
Yeah.
But you know what I realized?
When I crush someone's nose into the back of their skull
or beat 'em so bad that they'll never walk again?
[chuckles] They're not laughing anymore.
They show respect.
Violence is power.
I'm starting to get why it gave Noir so much chub.
- [app voice] Let your intention connect. - [Annie] Oh, something is wrong.
Something is really, really wrong.
We should've never sent him in there.
Everything that's been going on with his dad, I mean...
Fuck!
- M.M.! - Annie, I hear you.
But what if we go in there and we blow that man's cover?
Homelander is in there.
Sage, Firecracker, Neuman.
I'm going in.
Kimiko?
I'm going to move clarity forward through mindfulness.

I'm gonna get a proper crack at Homelander.
Have you talked to Ryan?
Are you even trying to get him out anymore?
Or is... this just the same old bloodlust all over again?
Jesus Christ, you're doing me fucking head in.
I'm trying to save the bleedin' world here.

You're gonna kill one Homelander...
...just to end up with another.

[sighs] When I was 11, my grandma was diagnosed
with Stage 3 chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
God...
She had the biggest laugh, but she got so small so fast.
She was bed-ridden.
The doctors didn't care about saving some old ex-Black Panther
and they told my parents there was nothing to be done.
I stayed up the next three nights and discovered a cure.
Presented my research to those satisfied fat crackers,
they patted me on the head, said I was adorable and laughed at me.
Grandma died screaming in pain.
I could cure cancer, reverse global warming,
but what's the point?
Humans are animals.
And the lines at Voughtland are too long as it is.
Why are you telling me this?
Because you remember what it's like,
being a little girl who no one fucking listens to.
And because fuck them all.
The only way women like us have ever gotten what we deserved...
...one hand in their pockets while the other slits their fucking throats.
Now... [sighs]
You in or out?
[muffled] Mm. Oh.
It's a great party, huh?
Y'all see all the free shrimp they got?
Firecracker, it's kind of a private conversation.

Fuck it. I'll do it myself.
Folks.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sure you're wondering why we pulled you aside,
so let's get right to it.
[sighs]
I think we can all agree that Robert Singer
is the greatest threat this nation has ever faced.
He is going to destroy this whole country.
You all met Ryan, my son.
For his sake, I cannot and I will not
- let that stand. - Does she agree?
[Homelander] Of course. Especially her.
She's not just eye candy.
No, no, Victoria here,
she's an integral part of the plan.
She sees up close what a doddering slave to the woke mob Singer really is.
How great the threat really is.
So once he's in office, we need to act.
We need to invoke the Twenty-fifth Amendment.
You're-you're talking about a coup.
No, I'm not.
I'm talking about saving this country.
Before Singer replaces us
with a bunch of transgender illegals that will do everything--
Save the boogeyman shit for the idiots watching VNN.
How do you propose to handle the Justice Department?
Well, they will all...
be our appointees.
Obviously.
- And the military's reaction? - Or OPEC.
How you gonna guarantee our oil reserves?
Of course there's gonna be some birth pangs--
The shock to the markets would be total.
And what happens if civil servants resign
en masse?
With all due respect, sir, I think you got a little hitch in your giddy-up.
Who's handling all this?
[stammers] Great question.
This is great. Great questions.
Truly. And, um, uh,
Sage. Sage, um...
...has the details.
Mmm.
[others murmuring]
Who's handling all this?
Me.
I fucking am.
[chuckles] Look, I'm sure you're all wondering
why I'm here tonight, instead of rimming out AOC,
while shouting, "Defund the police," up her asshole. [chuckles]
But I'm here tonight
to tell you the truth.
The truth is America is not a democracy.
The word "democracy" makes people feel safe.
But the founders never trusted the masses, because the truth is,
the masses are fucking stupid.
Anyone who owns a "Live, Laugh, Love" mug
shouldn't have a say in how a country is run.
People are a labor force
that need a kind, but firm hand.
There are no nations. There's Apple, Exxon
and Berkshire Hathaway.
Corporations are the real superpowers here.
You should be able to operate without any regulation or restriction
whatsoever. After all, you're billionaires.
You are smart enough to know what's best.
Bottom line?
You support me, and that is what you'll fucking get.
Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear. - Hear, hear.

You don't understand.
I can't.
It's what we realized in the lab.
To make the virus strong enough to kill Homelander
would evolve it into something unstable.
What do you mean, unstable?
Airborne.
Highly contagious.
Super lethal.
