Gen V

- Oh, my... Sorry, I thought... - Sorry, we're just leaving.

- Hey. - Hey.

I don't remember what happened last night.

There are days that I am missing.

I think I know who did this.

Emma, it's me, Sam.

The Woods, the-the Stardust Drive-In.

I'm gonna find a way to make you remember.

- Remember what? - That you're a hero.

That guy's crazy.

Kind of cute, though, right?

Your parents

shot you up with a dangerous drug

to make a buck off you.

My parents are dead because I killed them.

I fucking hate myself.

I grabbed my little brother

and I told him to go away and never come back.

That was the first time my powers showed up.

I think something really fucked happened to us

and I think Dean Shetty is a part of it.

I am this fucking close to perfecting the virus.

It's Cate. Cate made Golden Boy forget he even had

a brother over and over and over...

- Tell them it isn't true. - I'm so sorry.

You're a fucking monster.

Remember everything I made you forget.

Whoa.

Thanks.

So glad I had to relive that fucking nightmare.

I have to go get Sam.

Also, you're a cunt.

Shetty made you do this?

You were in my fucking head.

Why?

- I'm sorry. - You had no fucking right.

I thought I was...

Whoa. Hey.

...doing the right thing.

How could she do this to us?

I'll never forgive her for this.

Andre?

I think she made Luke kill Brink.

And kill himself.

I don't... I don't think so.

I don't...

- think she would do that. - No.

That is exactly what she does.

She makes you fall in love with her...

...and then she fucks you over.

No. This school fucks you over.

You know, getting into God U...

...was the best day of my life.

And it's no different than the shithole I grew up in.

You know what's wild? I can handle that.

I can even deal with the fact that my...

my father's a coward piece of shit.

But all of this?

After everything...

Cate?

I mean, she was fucked over just like the rest of us.

No. No. She was a part of it, Marie.

I think we should talk to her.

No.

Because then I'd just forgive her.

Help! I need some help in here!

Holy shit! What happened?

When she pushes too much, it fucks with her head.

- Didn't you learn CPR? - Where?

At superhero school? Jesus!

Her... her pulse is slowing.

- Can you speed it up? - I don't know. I-I, um...

- What if it kills her? - Just do something.

She's breathing. She's breathing.

Wh... When does she wake up?

Hello, Betsy. How are you feeling?

Interesting.

How long has she been like this?

Since I injected the virus, two days ago.

- Is there any risk of us getting sick? - No, no.

None at all.

The virus only affects Supes.

It attaches to the Compound V in their blood.

This is payoff for all the work I've done with Sam.

A way to compassionately control Supes.

My report to Vought will be ready to submit today.

No. Not until we're ready.

We are ready.

These results are exactly what they've been looking for.

It's the very reason The Woods exists.

I agree with you, Dr. Cardosa, but we mustn't get premature.

What do you mean?

Concentrate the dose.

Let's see how sick we can make her.

Cate. Cate, can you hear us?

- Has she ever pushed this much before? - Who cares?

This is what she gets for mind-raping her friends.

Holy shit, where'd she go?

Um, guys?

What?

Oh, what the fuck?

Oh, shit.

What's happening?

Maybe Cate's more powerful than we thought.

Whatever. I'm done with this shit.

Andre, wait.

We don't even know where we are.

Or what she did to us.

Caleb!

Caleb?

Who is that?

Come back! Please!

I'm sorry, ma'am, but we've been looking for three days.

Don't. He's only six years old.

Keep looking.

- Caleb? - Caleb?

Yeah, that was Cate's brother's name.

The one she sent away.

Mommy? Mommy!

Cate, wait!

Just...

wait there.

Holy shit. This is a memory.

I don't feel safe with her.

We're in Cate's head.

Mommy, it was an accident.

Why did Caleb listen to me?

He never does.

- I don't feel safe with her. - Okay.

Why don't you come with me, Cate?

We'll sort this out, all right?

Mommy, I didn't mean to.

Hey, do you like dogs? We got a K9 unit over here,

they'll let you pet one.

All right? Just come with me.

Okay, just give me a little distance, would you?

Hey!

What are you greasy sack of fuck nuts doing in here?

- What in the fuck? - Soldier Boy?

What are you doing in here?

I'm Cate's imaginary friend from when she was a kid.

Boyfriend, really.

I taught her how to jerk off.

Diddle that Skittle. Flick the bean.

How to find that man in the canoe.

She came like a faucet.

She'd crank up the Jonas Brothers

and she'd hump a Soldier Boy pillow.

She'd raw-dog that pillow till she saw God.

Gross.

It was pretty romantic.

- Hell yeah, brother. - Shut the fuck up.

Fuck you.

She...

She just didn't like, she didn't like Jonas Brothers, was all.

I know you.

Yeah, you're Cate's new fuckboy.

She really loves you.

But whatever.

Boys, they come and go.

But she always comes back to a little...

pillow talk.

Fuck you.

You're a Russian agent is what you are.

Andre. Bigger shit going on right now.

What the hell you talking about?

- Turns out you were radicalized by the Russians. - Fuck you.

I'm no godless, dickless commie.

I'm red-blooded.

But not commie red.

Red-white-and-blue red.

I fart "The Star-Spangled Banner."

You're pretty fucking weird, dude.

Yeah? Knock knock. Who's there?

Go fuck your face.

Okay. Fine. Whatever.

We need to know what's going on.

Well, beats me.

Cate wants you in here for some reason.

You better figure it out quick, though,

before you get stuck in here.

Wait, stuck in here?

Like forever?

See that?

That wasn't lightning.

That was a burst blood vessel.

Cate's head is unraveling in real time.

She becomes a vegetable, so do you.

All right, listen to me.

You really want to live,

then the single most important thing I can tell you...

Oh, shit. Soldier Boy's dead.

If that's what happens to her imaginary friend,

what happens to us?

- We should go. - Yeah.

That guy was a dick, right?

You came back.

Heroes always come back, right?

You remembered.

Oh.
