The Boys

In a world of chaos, some things never change...

that good will always win...

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

That love conquers all...

I'm your father, not him.

- Ryan! - And that heroes

will-will answer the call to protect...

I want to flip A-Train. He's right there.

He's ready.

When I carried your ass to the ER, that felt better

than anything that I'd ever done at Vought.

The answer to all our prayers.

A virus that kills Supes.

Somebody's been running tests.

To make the virus

strong enough to kill Homelander

would evolve it into something super lethal.

A global fucking pandemic.

What's a little genocide between friends?

Just fuck off and let me die in peace, would you?

The Seven is getting even stronger.

Put your hands together for Firecracker!

I am not sexually attracted to you.

It's about loyalty.

I'd do anything for you.

And Sister Sage!

She's the world's smartest person.

Fascist!

The people will tear it apart themselves.

Then you get to swoop in...

- Like Caesar. - Like Caesar.

Once he's in office,

we need to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Who's handling all this?

- I fucking am. - When Homelander

chucks all the Starlighters into internment camps,

you're cool with that?

You didn't know about the camps.

You're gonna help us take down Vought and Homelander.

No deals.

Neuman would have been a shit patsy.

So I went another way.

Speaker of the House Calhoun.

He's next in line to be president.

He'd like to pledge his allegiance to you.

Now that we have full legal authority...

- No! - A veritable army of superheroes

will be called upon

to rout these traitors from our government and from our streets.

America will be safe again.

And to the Starlighters,

I'm coming for you. Because today

a new age of superheroes begins.

- You were my first call. - You got to be

fucking kidding me. This whole time.

Yeah! Whoo!

USA! USA! USA!

USA! USA! USA! USA!

- Thank you. - USA!

Thank you!

Thank you and welcome

to the Vought International Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Okay. Give me my Firecrackers.

That's places, ladies, places.

Let's go, let's go.

Hop to it. Let's go. Come on.

Stay in line. Keep it tight.

Copy. I've got them heading to the wings now.

Front row, you're on the spike marks.

Second row, right behind them.

Wasn't that long ago

we were lost in the darkness.

Starlighters running wild.

Starlight herself on a vicious murder spree.

But we said no.

We said, "Enough."

We said, "Not in America."

And together we soared

into a new golden dawn!

Our superheroes are now the ranking law enforcement officers...

Keep going.

Stop!

We designated the Starlighters

a terrorist organization.

Other heroes are proudly serving in the armed forces

thanks to the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mayhem!

Net income

is up 21%.

G-Men:

Days Past from the Future has grossed over

two billion.

And do not get me started on the EBITDA margins.

But all of this

pales in comparison to the most

important truth,

that this is

a safer,

more God-fearing nation!

Our nation!

Yes!

Yes!

Despite what that little bitch Starlight tried to do

- at our southern border... - Got it!

Is there no depth to what that little who...

Homelander and Queen Maeve...

my God, they're leaving us.

- Take these two! - Whoa, no.

- Just these two! Please! - No!

What? So they can tell the world that we left the rest of them to fucking die?

Come on!

No, Maeve. No. You stay back.

All of you, stay back!

You stay the fuck back

or I'll laser you, goddamn it!

I'll laser every fucking one of you!

This was an AI-generated disinformation campaign, period.

And the American people have the good sense to call out a lie when they see...

Stay back! Or I'll laser

every fucking one of you!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the vice president of the United States.

Tough day.

Sad day.

When a great American like Homelander is attacked with lies.

This so-called Flight 37 video is an obvious deepfake

put out by Marxist Starlighters.

Let's open it up.

Chris Hayes.

Vice President Barrett...

Look, Chris,

I know exactly what you're thinking. Literally.

And, no, just because I happen to be a super-abled American

does not compromise my objectivity or allegiance to the U.S. of A.

That is exactly the kind of Super-phobic question

that kept me in the closet for so long.

Honestly,

do better?

What about your so-called Freedom Camps

for the Starlighter dissidents?

More clickbait.

I mean, who doesn't love freedom?

- And camp? - We knew

this would happen sooner or later.

We've been ready.

In the last 24 hours,

we have flooded the zone with so much disinformation,

people can't tell their clit from their collarbone.

The share price is only down half a point.

Besides that, damage is minimal.

What's this?

That is a Gutenberg Bible.

Martin Shkreli sold it to me at discount.

You're really on top of the world, huh?

Peter Thiel,

the Obamas calling you for advice.

Everyone loves you.

You can't really think I care.

Maybe you didn't used to.

It's all for you.

Higher the share price, happier the billionaires,

the more you get to do whatever the fuck you want to do.

Are you aware that NNC is calling me a murderer?

Saying that maybe...

I even did something to, uh...

my son.

No. Everyone knows that Ryan is...

Sorry. That he is at boarding school.

In Svalbard.

That story's holding.

- We're good. - Mm.

And how-how about you, Sage?

Are you...

- good? - I'm fine.

You're not distracted at all?

After Thomas Godolkin dumped you.

You're not numbing the heartache

by stabbing your brain?

- No. - Then just tell me.

How did Starlight get in the building?

I was humiliated!

As if people don't hate me enough!

Your numbers are north of 96.

Anyone can smile for the pollsters, sure,

but millions of them are still Starlighters in their hearts.

Where it counts.

Have you seen the memes?

Have you seen the memes about me?

Posting them...

should be a crime.

Yes. But we can't go...

Oh, you're serious.

Uh, sir.

Ongoing conflict is useful to us.

- It keeps people afraid. - Shut up.

- Which is exactly what we... - No, no, no, no, no, no!

You promised me Caesar.

He was stabbed by his best friends.

Yeah, well, I can relate to that.

But I need people to be devoted.

To me.
