The Boys

Robin!

I heard what happened to Robin. She wasn't in the street.

She was one step off the fucking curb.

-I'm sorry, who are you? -Name's Butcher. Billy Butcher.

Supes lose hundreds of people each year to collateral damage.

-That's where I come in. -To do what?

Frenchie, I need your help, mate. -(Translucent shouts)

Who is he? -Oh, this here is Hughie Campbell.

Hughie? Mother's Milk.

Who's that? She's a Supe Terrorist.

Her name's Kimiko.

Bonjour, Kimiko.

I have always wanted to be in The Seven.

Please welcome Starlight.

It's just a question of how bad you want to be in The Seven.

-(retches) -We are going to be stationing you

in Sandusky, Ohio for a while.

-I'm Hughie, by the way. -Annie. Would you like my number?

Hughie.

Looks like you've got your tongue

halfway down the opposition's throat.

She's not a bad person. -She's a Supe.

Hugh Campbell killed Translucent.

-What if he was helped? -Whoa, whoa. Hold on.

Keep those hands down by your sides.

You have to explain, Hughie.

You were the only thing that I could count on.

This is about Compound V.

It gives the Supes their powers.

What are you talking about?

We're born like this.

That was diabolical.

No one's putting Supes into national defense.

You stay the fuck back or I'll laser you!

If they let us into the military,

this will never happen again.

I know what it's like to lose someone.

Homelander raped my wife Becca.

You and me, we're in this together.

We have to go back for them. This is never gonna stop--

-it's just gonna be more blood... -If you don't like to play,

why did you join the fucking team?

You came here?

-Without Butcher? -Yeah.

: I'm out.

You came.

I'm a fucking superhero.

I think he's having a heart attack.

No more lies. You fucking promised me.

Hey, pal.

I'm your father.

Becca?

("Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones playing)

Baby kale salad?

I'm on page 134.

Chain of command doesn't apply to other military contractors

in the field; I don't see why it should apply to us.

Caprese sandwich?

Well, when they're in actual combat,

whom exactly do your heroes report to?

Same person as always. Me.

Spicy chicken cilantro wrap?

Subheading 16. We need a top secret,

Yankee White designation for Compound V.

Come on, Stan. Only one man okays that.

You want to stroll into the Oval Office

and start barking orders?

Hell yes. Half our own heroes don't know

they have Compound V in their veins.

You want China finding out?

This one: "Best efforts

to limit collateral damage"?

We'd prefer stronger wording.

That's standard language for our New York contract.

L.A., Chicago.

Exactly what casualty allowance are we looking at here?

Officially? Zero, of course.

But cone of silence? 34%.

Veggie frittata?

Maybe "By The Power of My Holy Fire"?

That's too wordy.

We want a catch phrase that is catchy.

How about...

"Burn in Truth!"

That is a good catch phrase.

I think that...

BURN IN TRUTH!

Today I can report to the American people

that Black Noir has conducted an operation

killing the Super Terrorist known as Naqib.

But that doesn't mean sacrifices won't still be made.

The proof of that, sadly...

lies before us.

For today, we mourn a fallen member of The Seven.

Translucent.

Murdered in cold blood

by the cartel Super Terrorist El Diablo.

Before he left,

Translucent said to me...

Almost as if he knew something was gonna happen,

he said...

"Hey, Homelander.

Tell my son Maverick that I love him."

And he also said,

"You find those Super Terrorists..."

Well, Super Villains is really the only term, but he said,

"You find them, Homelander.

And you stop them."

So I say to you, Maverick...

and to all the sons and daughters

of this great nation, I will stop them.

I will save you.

I'll do it for you.

For America.

-(cameras clicking) -(sighs)

And for a dear...

dear old friend.

Goodbye, brother.

-And thank you. -(applause)

Hey, that's my shoulder.

What?

Right there. That's my fucking shoulder, they...

They cut me from the picture.

: They can't...

can't just cut me from the fucking picture!

They can't cut me out!

Okay. That's enough.

Time to go.

Just get me another fucking lava flow, please.

I said it's time to go, or I call TMZ.

Out of sight, never out of mind!

-Two for $64! -(bagpipes playing)

Out of sight, never out of mind!

Two for $64!

Out of sight, never out of mind. Two for...

Good to see you.

Thank you.

Yeah. There you go.

-(man sobbing) -I know.

I miss him, too, pal.

-Thank you so much, Starlight. -Mwah. Thank you, guys.

It means a lot.

-Homelander, Starlight. -Hi, David. -David.

How's everyone holding up in the Tower?

Well... (sighs) I'm not gonna lie, um,

-it's hard. -Mm-hmm.

It's really hard. Um...

It comes in waves, you know?

Yeah, but this one, he's just really been our rock.

He sat us down and he said,

"We're more than just a team. We're a family.

And we need to pull together like one."

Aw... Starlight.

-Thank you for saying that. -Aw, thank you.

Really. I don't know where we would be without you.
