Post by bunniefuu »

This Thursday on VTV:
Television for Women...

I guess I'm just searching for

a more purposeful life, Mr. Adana.

The Church of the Collective

can offer you so much more.

We can offer you a family.

Mr. Adana, tell me the truth.

Are you having me followed?

I had to find out

if you were putting the Church first,

before your career.

Before everything.

You branded me with your initials!

It's enough.

I am afraid that you have become

a toxic personality, Deep.

Then you've left me
no choice but to run.

Not Without My Dolphin.

Brought to you by Lean Lady
frozen dinners, by Vought.

Tonight, simulcast live
across VBS, VTV, VNN,

Vought Soul and Voughtemundo,

join me for my annual
Birthday Spectacular,

along with my cocaptain Starlight,

as well as Emeril Lagasse,
Rascal Flatts, Supersonic,

the cast of Riverdale, Dame Judi Dench

and, of course, my dear
friend Black Noir...

Hey, William.

g*dd*mn the pusher man, am I right?

You really gonna sh**t
that sh*t in your veins?

You know, I think I just might.

Odds are you'll die screaming.

Well, I've gambled more for less.

I don't think you're gonna do it.

Turn yourself into a Supe?

That's a new low, even for you.

Oh, I can go lower.

I can go straight to hell.

Butcher, you have to stop.

Please. For Becca. This
would break her heart.

Becca don't care what I do.

She's dead.

Hello, love. A bit early, isn't it?

You said I could call
you after : . It's : .

Ah, yeah. Right you are.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Hunky-dory. Why?

You look tired.

Ah, just, uh, had a
naff night, that's all.

No sleep.

Did you watch the video I made?

Uh, no, no.

I, uh... I ain't had a chance yet.

I think you should watch it.

It kind of helps me when
I don't sleep so good.

Yeah, look, I told you
I'll watch it later.

Are you mad at me?

No, uh...

of course not.

Look, you're your mother's son.

And I'll always watch out for you.

Just how I promised.

All right?

Hey there, sleepyhead.

Rise and shine. Big day.

Anything a little extra
special about today? Hmm?

It's my birthday, silly.

Hmm?

Okay, just blink if you want to
wish me a happy birthday, hmm?

Okay.

Okay, so Red River is a group home

owned by a Vought subsidiary, of course.

I guess that's where Vicky grew up.

You mean Nadia?

God, I'm a f*cking idiot.
I should have seen it.

- How could you have seen this?
- I don't know.

Maybe when she k*lled Rayner
or when she blew up Congress.

g*dd*mn it.

Maybe we leak it to The Times.

No, she could head-pop everybody
in the office, me included.

Wait, wait, you're going in?

- Call in sick.
- We...

We have an all-hands at : .

I've never missed one before.

What if we tell Butcher?

We tell Butcher I've been a
Supe's sidekick for a year?

Oh, Christ, he's never gonna
not t*rture me for this, is he?

Well, maybe he won't.

No. No, no, no. Look, we
can... handle this ourselves.

All right?

Just don't do anything.

- What, crazy, stupid?
- No.

Don't do anything until I get back.

- Okay?
- You're leaving?

Yeah, it's the soundcheck

for Homelander's
stupid birthday special.

Wait for me.

Yeah. Okay.

Sure.

- Uh-huh.

Whew! Still got it.

Looks like you're back on the
"Sweet As I Wanna Be" tour.

Oh, wow. No, this is humiliating.

That song was gross when I was .

I sing it now, they're gonna

make me keep a thousand
feet from schools.

Then don't sing it.

That's easy for you to say.

You're already in The Seven.

I-I don't want to make waves.

Trust me... make waves.

Hey, Jay, um, could we run
my segment now, actually?

'Cause I only have a few lines.

Of course. Yeah.

Where's the fire, Starlight?

What, are you on a break?

- Sir, happy birthday. I'm...
- Supersonic, right?

Yeah, that's right.

- Great to meet you.
- You, too.

Yeah.

You're a real, uh,
contender on American Hero.

Keep it up. We could be teammates.

Oh, wow, I hope so, sir.

Of course, it doesn't
hurt that the show's judge

used to get come-drunk
on your chorizo picante.

Homelander, sir, we're loading

- the prompter with Starlight's revisions.
- Sure.

- Revisions?
- Yeah.

I had Bruce make a couple of tweaks,

- gave you some more juicy stuff.
- No.

After all, you are cocaptain.

Need you front and center.

- Roger, cue these up.
- Yes, sir.

Thank you.

You know,

I got to admit,

I was a little unsure about this.

But now,

honestly, I am just so
excited about what's coming.

Partner.

Ready for rehearsal.

All right, mate?

Bloody hell, Janine. You sh*t up.

You remember your
Uncle Billy, don't you?

Here.

I got this for you.

You and your dad can build it together.

pieces of family fun.

Okay, one, you don't just pop up here.

You call first.

And, two, eff Soldier Boy.

I don't give a mothereffin'
doo-doo how he checked out.

Ah, bollocks.

He didn't die like no hero.

I'll wager he went out on his knees,

begging like a right c**t.

What the f...

Sorry, love.

Look,

if there's a w*apon out
there that k*lled Soldier Boy,

then it can k*ll Homelander.

And that's got to be worth something.

Now,

we're working our way
through his old team.

Frenchie and Kimiko are starting
with the Crimson Countess,

and I'm gonna hit up Gunpowder.

Sounds like you got everything covered.

This ain't just anyone.

It's Soldier Boy.

You could close the book
on him once and for all.

For your dad. Your family.

f*ck off with that sh*t.

My father d*ed hunched over a desk,

obsessing over a dead man,

while he was ignoring
his two living children.

And I almost did the same thing to her.

Thanks for coming by.

You're doing a bang-up
job with her, mate.

Butcher, hold on a second.

I might have one thing.

"Soldier Boy: A Musical
Journey" is about to begin.

Get your tickets now.

Soldier Boy grew up

in the birthplace of American liberty.

Born poor on the mean
streets of South Philadelphia,

he learned the values of hard
work, tenacity and bravery.

He used those values to
prove America's exceptionalism

to the world.

Okay, boys, let's give
these Krauts some hell.

He defended us

against the encroaching Red Menace.

Congress,

I have a list right here
of avowed Communists.

He helped guide America

into a brighter future,
and along the way,

he found the love of a good woman,

which made his sacrifice
all the more noble,

when he gave his life saving
us from a nuclear holocaust.

Please join us in saluting Soldier Boy.

Hughie, my man.

You okay?

A-Alex? Uh...

Uh, where's Annie?

She's actually onstage with Homelander.

It's a crazy f*cking day, man.

Yeah, yeah. Uh, so glad that
you're-you're there with her.

Um, hey, why'd you, uh...
why'd you pick up the phone?

Well, you called three times
in the last three minutes.

- Is anything wrong?
- No, no, everything's good.

Everything's fine. Just
tell her that I called, okay?

Uh...

It is such an honor to
be with you all tonight,

celebrating my... my dear
friend and mentor Homelander.

Now, before we bring
out Dame Judi Dench,

I would like to take a moment...

Uh, hey, Jay. What's that?

I'm supposed to be announcing
the Starlight House.

You sing me "Happy Birthday."

Fun, right?

Go on. Go for it.

♪ Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you ♪

- ♪ Happy birthday ♪
- Oh, hey, hey.

Hold on, hold on, sorry,
sorry, sorry, sorry.

Um, Starlight.

Listen, Starlight, I-I...

... hate to direct you, but, um,
we're gonna need a little more

"JFK just got rimmed
out by Marilyn" version.

It's got to fit with the routine.

A-actually, show her the routine.

You're gonna f*cking love this.

- That's your backup.
- Okay...

Okay, uh, hold on, everybody.

Okay, ladies, thank you.
Just stand down, okay?

Real quick.

Can I talk to Roger?

- Uh, yeah, sure, abso...
- Problem?

I have...

concerns.

- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, okay, well, uh, what are they?

- It's demeaning.
- It's demeaning

to sing your friend "Happy Birthday"?

Are you gonna sing all
sexy for me on my birthday?

Starlight, where... wh-what's
with all this animosity?

Hey, um, can we just
have one minute, please?

- Yes. Go.
- Thank you.

Hey, um... Okay.

- For the record...
- Mm-hmm.

I know you don't care
whether I sing or not.

This is a juvenile attempt

to get me to look like a sex
doll instead of a cocaptain.

I'm not doing it.

I have an idea.

Why don't you lighten the f*ck up?

Come on, you're gonna sing
the sh*t out of this song.

- Ready? Let's hit it.
- If Starlight

doesn't want to sing, she doesn't sing.

Stan. What a surprise.

Our testing shows that
% of likely viewers

will make every effort to
watch tonight for Starlight.

As for you, % might DVR.

I think that that means that she can

call her own sh*ts. Don't you?

So how about I just walk,
Stan? How would that rate?

After the PR hole you dug
for yourself this past year,

I'd say you're lucky we're
putting on this farce at all.

But hey, it's your party.
You can cry if you want to.

- Damn, Annie.
- Hmm.

What happened to you in New York?

I started making waves.

Thank you so much for coming in.

Have you met my new development exec?

Hi. I'm also Ashley.

Uh-huh.

We are super curious to hear
what you have for us today.

- Mm-hmm. So curious.
- I've been thinking a lot

about all the ways that I
can contribute around here.

Maybe I can't run as fast as I used to,

but I've never just been
the world's fastest man.

Like, there's a lot of
layers to the A-Train

that people haven't seen yet.

Such as?

Well, I'm also a-a strong,
very proud Black man.

Right, Seth?

Seth, come on, man.

Tell them.

Right. Um...

The Seven have been dipping
in the African American demo.

Our numbers for Dawn of
The Seven have been soft.

People of color don't tend
to react well to Nazis.

- Facts.
- We thought a rebranding of A-Train

maybe could change that.

If done tastefully.

- A rebranding.
- So, listen,

we start with a
docuseries on Vought Soul.

A-Train to Africa.

- Boom.
- The art's, uh,

just a mock-up.

It'll trace his family's journey

from the plains of Africa
all the way to Vought Tower.

Yeah, like, I want to get
back in touch with my roots.

Like in Roots.

And for the Gen Z's,

a state-of-the-art interactive
learning experience.

Is that a video game
about the sl*ve trade?

It's some powerful stuff.

It's really something.

I even had LJ redesign the suit.

You know, for the culture.

- I want to introduce it tonight.
- Oh, yeah, no,

let's have a b*at on
that and think about that.

- Okay. Wow.
- Okay.

Thank you so much for that pitch.

That was so well told.

Mm-hmm. So well told.

All right. Yeah.

We're gonna discuss with the team

and-and get back to you.

Cool. Yeah. Thanks.

See you tonight.

I'm kind of surprised that
they didn't buy it in the room.

She hated it.

What? No.

Man, she said it was "well told."

Yeah, that's code for
she f*cking hated it.

Look, man, she didn't buy it
because it's total bullshit.

You couldn't care less
about your African roots.

You know it, and she knows it,
and frankly, Africa knows it.

Yeah?

You don't have a f*cking d*ck.

So, uh, where at Vought do you work?

Um, uh, the Tower,
social media, up on th.

Um, I'm sorry, you said you don't get

many potential parents?

Well, you know what kind
of a home we are, right?

Yeah, no, of course,
it's a group home...

... for the s-super-abled.

Mason, please get down from there.

Yeah, uh, so many tragic stories,

but, uh, with the right attention,

uh, they can bounce back so quickly.

Yeah, they're little treasures.

Geez.

Teddy Stillwell, we don't teleport.

- Can I play with my toys?
- Yeah.

So, their-their parents, they're, uh...

Well, uh, some of the kids,

they discovered their gifts quite early,

before they were able to control them.

But listen, I-I'm sure
you'd be perfectly safe.

Hey, can you...

Can you, uh... can you show
me the rest of the place?

- Uh, what did you want to see?
- Anything.

- Whatever you got.
- Oh.

Sorry, what, uh... what is it, Teddy?

Hey, wait a minute. I know you.

You're Starlight's boyfriend?

- Uh...
- And you work at the bureau.

- Uh... No, no, I can...
- This is highly irregular.

Hey, hey, I-I can explain.

Um, okay, the-the truth is...

Starlight is-is the
one that sent me here.

I'm completely sterile.
Doctor says my sperm are bad.

Like, really, really bad,

like a bunch of fat, dead tadpoles.

But we-we want a kid, and, um,
she wanted to keep it quiet,

so she sent me here to cover for her.

I-I was never here, by the way.

We just want to keep it
about love and not publicity.

You know?

This is fantastic. With
a superhuman mother,

there is far less chance
of parental fatality.

Oh, yeah. That's great...

That's great news.

So, I have a few standouts

that I think you'll be
pretty thrilled with.

You mind if I, uh, just
kind of flip around a bit?

Oh.

Thank you. Thank you.
Sorry. Move this over.

Sorry.

Is there anything in particular

that you're looking for?

Um, boy, girl?

No, you know, we don't
really see gender that way.

- Well, Samir is South Asian.
- Mm-hmm.

That is very hot right now.

No, that sounds great.
Wh... Uh, Samir...

- Right here? Okay.
- South Asian.

Nadia, do you know
why you're here today?

Did I do something wrong?

Not at all. You've
made so much progress.

That's why you're here.

You're getting what
you've always wanted.

You're-you're adopting me?

No, I can't adopt you,
sport, not technically.

It's more complicated than
you need to worry about.

But you are a very rare
and exceptional girl,

and you're coming with me.

I'm gonna take care of you now.

Is that all right?

"It has been a terrible, horrible,

no good, very bad day.

My mom says some days are like that.

Even in Australia."

You want me to read it again?

- Actually too old for that.
- Oh, you smart-ass.

Scoot. Let me talk to your mom.

Bad days do happen.

Maybe I need to read this to you.

You have. About a
million times before bed.

- Anything in the news?
- Still nothing.

Good.

Tony was a friend of yours.

I understand why you'd be upset.

Somebody at Vought dropped the ball.

I can't have people showing
up at my work calling me Nadia.

A cleaning crew sterilized the site

within minutes of the incident.

No witnesses have come forward.

And if they do, we'll deal with them.

The same way you dealt with Tony.

Come on, sport.

Haven't I always taken care of you?

Welcome. Next.

Ah, ah.

Oh. Sorry, mate.

Here you go.

Nice piece. Welcome.

Next.

Smooth.

I'd shake your hand,

Well, I appreciate that.

Yeah, I followed you
since your Payback days.

I mean, years old,

picked to be Soldier Boy's sidekick.

He was a great man.

Well, it's nice meeting you, buddy.

You must've been chuffed, eh?

Helping him on his missions,

letting him watch you on the bog,

stick his finger up your bum a bit,

give him a sloppy little nosh.

All in a day's work
for a young ward, innit?

Like I haven't heard
that sidekick pedo sh*t

a thousand times before.

Why don't you do me a big
favor, buddy, and f*ck off.

You're right. I'm sorry.

That's a filthy, unsubstantiated rumor.

g*dd*mn right it is.

Till now.

This is a complaint you filed to Vought,

begging to be taken off Payback

on account of, and I quote,
"Soldier Boy's habitual abuse."

Of course they buried it,
Vought being the c**ts they are.

That right there is a fake.

- Course it is.
- I'm sorry, who are you?

I told you. Biggest fan.

And I want to help you.

Keep shtum.

Be a crying shame if your
red-meat faithful out there

found out you were Soldier
Boy's underage nob-gobbler.

Now, all I want to know

is what happened to him,
and you're gonna tell me.

Or maybe I put a b*llet in your head.

You do that,

and it'll be all over the
Interweb within an hour.

See, buddy, I don't give a sh*t.

'Cause that never happened.

Soldier Boy never touched me like that.

f*ck.

Oh, my God! Don't jump!

Hi, Chelsea.

It's your lucky day.

Well, considering.

You're-you're my annual birthday save.

- Don't come any closer.
- Life is a precious gift.

To throw yours away would be
a real slap in the Lord's face,

don't you think?

You don't want to go to hell
for all eternity, do you?

I'm Jewish. I...

All right, well, regardless,

just step back from the ledge, please?

Okay, that's good.

Just don't be afraid of the zoom.

You're not Roger Deakins.

Mike, frame up. He could
be flying down any second.

Yep. You got it.


Oh, f*ck.

Come on, look. I'm here now.

If you jump, I'm just gonna
fly down and save you anyway.

It's all futile and...

Sh-She wouldn't...

It's my... It's my birthday.

She...

She...

You probably don't know
this because, you know, Jew,

but Jesus wasn't born
on the th of December.

That was piggybacked off a
pagan festival, and guess what.

Today is not my birthday, either.

Nope.

Don't know when it is, but
sure as hell ain't today.

This was just chosen for me
by a marketing department.

I mean, I can't even
have a birthday at all.

I wasn't born.

I was just poured out
of a f*cking test tube.

Immaculate conception.

I know exactly how he must have felt.

Jesus.

You give and you give...

You give your whole f*cking life,

and what happens?

People just tear you down.

Why do people destroy their gods?

H-How is it fair that you get saved,

while a beautiful,
perfect god gets k*lled?

You know what, Chelsea?

I think you should jump.

I-I don't think I want to.

You don't want to?

Why don't you show a little
follow-through, Chelsea?

- Jump.
- Please, I... I just want to get down.

I'm not suggesting anymore.

Jump.

No. No, please.

Oh, God, oh, God.

No, no, no.

No God.

The only man in the sky is me.

How the f*ck did she
bite off her own tongue?

Stormfront Million
Dollar Babied herself.

- That's horrible.
- Oh, so...

Daddy? It smells smoky.

It's okay, baby, I got it.

f*cking piece of sh*t.

Shut the f*ck up!

I'm sorry.

Baby, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hughie.
- Hi.

- Hey, where you been?
- Uh...

You know, just, um,

- working from home.
- Oh, my God, your hand.

Yeah. Yeah, no, that's... It's nothing.

- I'm fine.
- So, who's Nadia?

Nadia?

Yeah, Scotty said some guy came
in yesterday, asking for Nadia.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
no, there was, there was a guy,

um, and he... he was
looking at your picture,

he said your name was
Nadia, said he knew you...

from, like, way back when.

You weren't gonna tell me?

Uh, no, I mean, it was just some guy

off his meds, seemed like, yeah.

I'm sorry, I-I mean, you're
missing work, your hand.

- Lot going on.
- Hmm.

Is there something I should know?

He was with me. I'm
sorry for stealing him

away from you, but...

we had some things that
we needed to discuss.

Very loudly, actually.

We made quite the scene at Panera.

- Oh.
- I mean, it's a miracle nobody recognized me.

Yeah, sorry, I was, I was
trying to preserve just a tiny,

little shred of my dignity,
but, uh, we had a fight.

We didn't leave things
in the greatest place,

- so I thought I would come by and...
- Check up on me?

- Well, I was worried about you.
- Yeah, well, you know I can

handle some things by myself, right?

- Okay, I'm just trying to help.
- I don't always need your help.

- I mean, you don't have to treat me like I'm a kid.
- Here I was thinking that I was

- treating you like my boyfriend.
- Well, you...

You know, this is actually
none of my business,

so I'm just, I'm gonna go.

Good-good luck with all of that.

- Oh, and Hughie?
- Yeah.

Cut her some slack.

You shouldn't be afraid
of a powerful woman.

Oh...

my God.

Uh, thanks for the save, by the way.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Well, uh, Alex said that
you were acting weird,

and I've been calling you
literally every five minutes.

- So...
- Right.

sh*t. Sorry, I left my
phone off at Red River.

I thought we were gonna
handle that together.

I know.

I'm sorry.

- And you're bleeding.
- I know, because I can't open a f*cking jar,

- because I can't do anything f*cking right.
- Hughie.

What's going on?

Vicky was my friend.

I know her daughter.

She-she-she surprised me in
the office on my birthday.

We used to roll through that office

like we were the f*cking Untouchables.

I thought things were
finally, finally going my way.

God, what a goddam joke I am.

Hey, that's not true, Hughie.

Oh, um...

I may have signed us
up to adopt a child.

Hey, look at that.

- There you go.
- Seven Tower.

- Amazing.
- Bye, Dad.

I love you, baby.

- I love you, too.
- Mm.

All right.

Is Monique here?

Uh, Monique, Marvin's here.

Hey, you gonna stay for
Homelander's birthday special?

I got some brats on the grill.

Think I'll pass, but thanks.

Oh.

You know I've been trying, Monique.

Been trying to stay away from all of it.

The Supes.

Butcher.

For Janine.

- And for you.
- I know.

But this...

this Soldier Boy thing came up,

and you know the baggage there, I...

I tried upping my meds, just...

You're having bad thoughts again.

And the tics and the compulsions.

Monique, I lost my
sh*t in front of Janine.

It's like, Soldier
Boy, he's like this...

this steel sliver inside
of my brain, after he...

I don't know what to do.

You need to go back to Butcher.

That's what.

I never wanted to try to turn
you into something you're not.

I-I hate that you're making
yourself sick over it.

Maybe I can't be with
you anymore, Marvin,

and I am so sorry for that.

But you should go do
what you have to do.

Face this sh*t down.

Please don't tell Janine about this.

About any of it. My pops, none of it.

I just want to leave her out of it.

Janine will be right here, waiting.

Just... stay safe for her.

Stormfront was right!

Stormfront was right!
Stormfront was right!

The Stormchasers marched
in Portland today,

mourning their fallen idol Stormfront...

... when v*olence broke out between...

Mon coeur. Look.

Look at this.

Six Flags in Queensbury. We go tomorrow,

we ride the Greezed Lightnin'
and, uh, Steamin' Demon

until we vomit the
doughnut hamburgers, huh?

It was never about the roller coaster.

I know.

Kenji and I didn't have a childhood.

I just did the same
thing to that little girl

- and her brother.
- Little girl.

- No...
- How can they ever be children again?

Mon coeur, no.

That wasn't your fault.

I'll never be a normal girl
who likes roller coasters.

I'm broken and can never be fixed.

Because of this poison,
this curse in my veins.

Hi, buddy. I'm sorry I'm running late.

I thought I'd have time
to sneak in a haircut.

It always takes longer
than I think it will.

There's some Double Stufs in the pantry,

but only two, mister.

More than two, and I will know.

Okay. I'm hanging up now.

Just wanted to tell you that I
love you and I'll see you soon.

So, I love you, and I'll see you soon.

Butcher?

You all right, mate?

Hey, um...

Frenchie told me about Crimson Countess.

What the hell happened?

We was chasing down something, but...

I-I'm gonna knock it on the head.

Y-You was right the other day.

Things are good.

Ryan's good.

I should leave it well enough alone,

before I go and f*ck it all up.

You there?

Neuman's a Supe.

She's the head popper.

- Yeah, what?
- Yeah, she's pretty much Stan Edgar's daughter, too.

Past year of my life has been a waste.

I thought we could fight Vought
the right way, but we can't.

It's all rigged.

If we're gonna take them down,

we have to do whatever it takes.

We have to do it your way.

Butcher, you there?

You got to be f*cking kidding me.

Get your ass off of my car.

Why you protecting Soldier Boy?

If he'd have slipped me a
length, I wouldn't hesitate.

I'd throw him to the f*cking dogs.

Oh, sh*t.

Okay, okay.

Please.

Soldier Boy used to slap me
around a little bit, all right?

It was just hazing that
went too far, all right?

- That's it.
- What f*cking happened to him?

He didn't die in an accident, all right?

The whole nuclear meltdown
thing, it was just bullshit.

I f*cking know that. What k*lled him?

I don't know.

I-I don't know! I don't f*cking know!

All right? We were in Nicaragua,

in f*cking ' , but I
didn't see it happen.

- Well, you must have seen something.
- I didn't see sh*t.

f*ck, I was just a kid.

Ask the others. Ask the f*cking CIA.

- CIA?
- Yeah.

Yeah. We were working with the CIA.

Who was the case officer?

Grace.

Grace... Grace Mallory.

All right? f*ck.

Look, please.

Please, look...

Look, I told you everything I know.

All right? Please, just-just...

I know you did.

But it don't change what you are.

What the f*ck is he wearing?

Yeah, all right. Let's hear
it for Supersonic, everybody.

Get me f*cking wardrobe.

Get me f*cking wardrobe so
I can f*cking choke them out!

All right, so now, I would like
to bring out our cocaptains.

So let's give it up for Starlight

and the man of the hour
himself, Homelander!

- Happy birthday, Homelander.
- Hey, thank you.

- Yeah.
- I can see your girdle, you disgusting fat f*ck.

Get off the f*cking stage.

Wow, I'm so honored to
be with you guys tonight

to celebrate my dear friend
and mentor Homelander.

I'm here to do more than wish
you a happy birthday, though.

I'm thrilled to be announcing

a project that is near
and dear to my heart.

The Starlight House is
a nonprofit foundation

dedicated to helping
homeless and at-risk youth.

Hey, Homelander! Your n*zi d*ed!

Did he just say his n*zi d*ed?

Let's go.

Homelander...

He's just, he's a human.

He's just like the rest of us.

And we all make mistakes, right?

But we all deserve second chances.

In that spirit, Homelander has agreed

to donate $ million...

- to the Starlight House, which is, I mean...
- No.

- Give... Come on. Give it up.
- No.

- Give it up for this guy.
- No. No.

No.

Starlight lied to you just now. She did.

I don't make mistakes.

I'm not "just like the rest of you."

I'm stronger. I'm smarter.

I'm better. I am better.

I'm not some weak-kneed f*cking crybaby

that goes around f*cking
apologizing all the time.

And why the f*ck would
you want me to be?

Go to f*cking commercial,
Roger. Go to f*cking commercial.

Don't you dare stop rolling, Roger!

All my life, people
have tried to control me.

My whole life.

Rich people, powerful people

have tried to muzzle me, cancel me,

keep me impotent and obedient,
like I'm a f*cking puppet.

You know what? It worked.

Because I allowed it to work.

And guess what. If they can control me,

then you can bet your
ass they can control you.

They already do. You
just don't realize it.

I'm done.

I am done apologizing.

I am done being
persecuted for my strength.

You people should be thanking Christ

that I am who and what I
am, because you need me.

You need me to save you.

You do.

I am the only one who possibly can.

You're not the real heroes.

I'm the real hero.

I'm the real hero.
