So, after the butterfly
flew out of Goff's head,

what happened to it?

I sh*t it. It just... blew apart.

It would've been nice
to have captured it,

but I guess it's good
it didn't get away.

VIGILANTE: (GROANS) I'm not sure
I'm ever gonna walk again.

Why?

VIGILANTE: m*therf*cker cut
half my pinky toe off.

It's the most important toe there is.

- I don't think so.
- Okay, that's not true.

VIGILANTE: Yeah, it is!
You can't walk without it!

You can walk just fine
without a pinky toe.

VIGILANTE: You'll
fall over all the time,

look stupid, and
everyone will laugh at you.

Who's gonna laugh at you for falling
over because you don't have a toe?

(LAUGHS LOUDLY)

I was just imagining it.
I'm s... I'm sorry.

You can't walk if you lose
your metatarsal.

That's like the knuckle
of the pinky toe.

- But if you just lose your pinky, it's fine.

What are we gonna do about him?

Are you kidding me? Maybe that
wouldn't have happened

♪ (MUSIC FADES) ♪

One of the most important things
about k*lling someone, to me,

is a f*cking dove of peace
on the w*apon.

That's bullshit, and you know it!

You also told me to k*ll kids.
You didn't say why!

Yeah, okay, one was homely.

That didn't make it better,
it made it worse!

I started to feel sorry for it.

Yeah, I may have pushed you
too hard on that one.

I made a vow to have peace at any cost,

no matter how many men, women,
and children I need to k*ll to get it.

But I'm not f*cking k*lling kids
just because you say so!

You're sure that's all it is?

- Yeah.
- Good...

'cause right now the world
needs a son of a bitch,

and you're the only one I got.

- VIGILANTE: f*ck it! f*ck! f*ck!
- Well, I guess him now, too.

(GRUNTS) f*ck, it hurts to walk on!

- You sure about that?
- Yes.

- (VIGILANTE WHINING)
- Why?

Vigilante's a bit, uh... (WHISTLES)

You think that's something
I wouldn't have noticed?

Yeah. Yeah, right. (BREATHES DEEPLY)

Ever since I had to team up
with Matter-Eater Lad,

my sense of what's normal
is a little f*cked up.

You have to keep Vigilante close.

If he talks, he could ruin everything.

I once saw him eat
an entire Wendy's Restaurant.

Vigilante ate a restaurant?

No, Matter-Eater Lad. That's
his power, he can eat anything.

They took too long with
his fries or something.

The guy's a f*cking lunatic.

His name is Matter-Eater Lad?

Yeah, but with all that's going on,
why are you so interested in him?

Not the time to be
getting distracted, Murn.

Okay.

Hey, these butterflies...

they're like alien bugs that crawl up

into human brains and control people?

Get some rest, come back tonight.

We'll explain the whole thing.

about last night.

I've never k*lled anyone before.

You said.

I've never sh*t anyone.

I've never sh*t at anyone.

Hell, I'm a pescatarian.

So, you're okay with making that
poor bastard's last minute of life

the worst suffering imaginable
because you're too much of a coward

to put him out of his misery,

but you won't eat a f*cking fish?

Got it.

I do eat fish. Pescatarians,
we don't eat pork,

Nah, I said it like I always say it.

All the radio stations
are playing commercials...

How is it so big in this place?

It's a quantum unfolding storage area.

It leads to a dimensional

pretty brainy for a r*cist,

to make a place like this.

I don't work with him!
He makes me stuff.

clowns and throws
them in prison! (LAUGHS)

Shouldn't you k*ll him then?

No! I'm not gonna k*ll my dad.

I think he trusts Harcourt the most.

No, he wants to have sex with Harcourt.

He trusts you. He said

(HARCOURT SIGHS)

And this time you didn't balk, huh?

Do you think he's gonna die?

Hmm, probably.

I'm not cut out for this sh*t.

The first time I k*lled someone,

I didn't have my period
for three months.

And then it gets easier?

No, not really.

But it's good it hurts.

Otherwise, you become
like Amanda Waller,

and you start treating
human life like it's nothing.

None of this sits right with me.

First, I manipulated

Vigilante into going into prison
and k*lling Peacemaker's father,

- and now this.
- Back up. What?

Every time I turn around, one of
you is doing something f*cked up!

I thought Waller gave me soldiers.

Instead, it's the f*cking
Apple Dumpling g*ng!

(JOHN LAUGHS)

Classic pull!

HARCOURT: And who are
the Apple Dumpling g*ng?

Incompetent dinguses!

But they always triumph in the end.

- f*ck you, John!
- Jesus.

You told Vigilante
to k*ll Peacemaker's father?

I didn't tell him to,

I just kind of put the idea in his head.

That Peacemaker would be
better off without his father?

Well, his father is gonna
go to the authorities

and tell 'em how we
switched out the fingerprints.

I was just trying
to make the hard choice.

MURN: Seeing as we're already
losing Peacemaker's trust,

how's he gonna feel when he finds out

we manipulated his best friend
into k*lling his father?

Actually, that'd be Eagly.

What?

Nothing, it's just he claims that
Eagly, that that's his best friend.

You said, "best friend", okay?

I'm just making sure
we're all on the same page,

in case someone here thinks that Adebayo

convinced Eagly to k*ll
Peacemaker's father.

Who would think that?

- Maybe Harcourt?
- f*ck you!

Why is everybody "f*cking you" to me?

I'm gonna believe she
mentally manipulated

the pet eagle into k*lling his father?

You're gullible! I call in sick
all the time, and I'm lying!

I know you're lying,
I just don't give a f*ck!

I'm not stupid!

Neither is Peacemaker!

But you seem to think he is.

I don't think he's stupid.

He'll know exactly what you tried to do.

Not only that, his father,
the g*dd*mn White Dragon,

is a trained k*ller!

He could k*ll Vigilante,
and without Vigilante,

we're taking on the butterflies
one man down!

Half a man down. The guy's a psychopath.

(CHUCKLES) It's the four of us
against a damn alien invasion.

We need a psychopath.

I'm sorry, Mr. Murn.

Can you get Vigilante out of the system

before he screws us worse
than we're already screwed?

(SIGHS) I don't even know
this guy's name.

LEOTA: White male, ' ",
thirties, green eyes.

JOHN: Hmm, think I got something.

Found him!

- Adrian Chase, the Vigilante.
- LEOTA: That's him.

(HESITATES) Wasn't he our
busboy at Fennel Fields?

And G says, "Yeah, sure,
I'll teach him how to fight".

"Hey, kid, look over here".

Kid looks over, he whacks him
on the back of the head

and says, "That's
the first f*cking rule!"

"Keep your eye
on your g*dd*mn opponent".

(ALL LAUGHING)

(VIGILANTE LAUGHING LOUDLY)

Hey... what's up, fellas?

Look, you totes seem like
the coolest guys in this place.

So, I was thinking, you know, like,
we should get to know each other.

- What?
- Let's pick a topic,

and then everyone goes
around in a circle

and says their feelings on that topic.

Let's start with, uh... I don't know.

Let's each say something
that we're grateful for

that Black people have
contributed to American culture.

Is this dude joking right now?

No! Hey, look, I'll go first.

I'm grateful that Black people
gave us rock and roll music.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Special...

All those guys owe everything

to Black American
folk and blues musicians.

I mean, they wouldn't exist without 'em,

and then white redneck music
would just sound like...

well, what it sounded like
before Black people,

which was the wet, sloppy
sounds of f*cking your sister.

Okay, so that's my turn.

Which one of you dumb,
sister-f*cking, tiki-torch-carrying,

Sloth-from-the-Goonies-looking
pieces of sh*t wants to go next?

Who the f*ck are you?

You're first? Cool! Okay,
wait. No, let me guess.

Your favorite contribution
to Black American culture

was all the Black guys who
f*cked your mom in the ass

while you watched from
the closet, jerking off?

Hey.

Oh, Jesus.

Yeah, I figured you'd be here.

(SIGHS) Smith, you really
have to leave me alone

in my off-hours,
unless it's work-related.

Well, this is kind of work-related.

What?

What's it say in my file about
what my dad did when I was a kid?

What?

Adebayo just said there was
some stuff in there,

about me and my dad when I was a kid.

- I never studied your f*cking file.
- Yeah...

but still.

(SIGHS)

Fine, it says that he trained you

to k*ll from when you were very young.

And it says that your brother d*ed

under mysterious circumstances,

and that you were involved in that.

Thanks.

That's it?

No, your tits look
stellar in that shirt.

And I'm saying that as a compliment,
that's not in a sexist way.

If it walks like a duck,
it's either a duck,

or a duck wearing
some type of human... costume,

I don't know! He's... he's unable
to hide his distinctive walk!

How the f*ck could that even happen?

VIGILANTE: How would what happen?

A duck in a human costume!

The sizes are completely incompatible!

I mean, my pants would be caught
up in my tiny, webbed feet.

They'd be sagging all over the place.

It wouldn't f*cking work!

How would they do
the mask with the beak?

And how would he even talk?
How would the mouth work?

I don't even know any of this!

Vigilante, you've had a lot
of f*cking stupid ideas,

but a duck in a human costume?

That's the stupidest idea
you've ever f*cking had!

And it's offensive to me,

'cause I have a soul.

Not a duck.
