The Boys S02E07 "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker"
Congresswoman Victoria Neuman schedules a hearing against Vought with Lamplighter as the chief witness. After Vought uncovers Annie's betrayal, Hughie convinces Lamplighter to join him in a rescue attempt, which results in the latter immolating himself. Annie escapes with the help of Maeve, who subdues Noir. Despite the loss of Lamplighter, Butcher strong-arms Vought scientist Jonah Vogelbaum into testifying against Vought. However, the hearing is attacked by the assassin who killed Raynor, resulting in the deaths of Vogelbaum and many others. Meanwhile, Homelander and Stormfront manipulate Ryan into leaving Becca. A-Train grows suspicious of the Church of the Collective. Maeve and Elena break up over the former failing to save the airliner.

00:14 Who is that?!
00:16 We are going to hold hearings on "Bot" and "Compound V."
00:20 I'm the world's greatest superhero.
00:23 You're my greatest failure.
00:25 I do like you. You got spunk.
00:28 You're gonna be a big help to me.
00:30 What the hell does that mean?
00:32 Move! [Screams]
00:34 Those fucking Lampleida!
00:35 These people are test subjects.
00:36 They're trying to stabilize the B.
00:38 You can go anywhere, anytime, and you get a solid suit.
00:41 Why would Vaught do that?
00:42 We are in a war for the culture.
00:45 But we can fight back with an army of supermen, millions strong.
00:50 Everyone I have ever loved is in the ground.
00:53 And then I found you.
00:55 We found each other.

01:05 30% of the public's hardcore aware enough
01:08 and know how the system works.
01:10 Then we don't do anything about it.
01:12 That's why superterrorists continue to invade America.
01:16 There are illegal immigrants pouring into this country every day,
01:19 and any one of them could be a superterrorist.
01:22 Many are calling for more superheroes
01:24 in order to counter the superterrorist threat
01:27 and protect Americans.
01:28 I got to go. I'm late for class.
01:30 Thanks. Have a good day, hon.
01:32 ...stand up right now.
01:33 I am sick of waiting for some executive to finish his racket.
01:37 We are going to hold hearings on Vaught and --
01:41 It's 1:45.
01:43 I'm gonna tell you something I probably shouldn't.
01:45 I'm gonna tell you something
01:47 that the government doesn't want you to know.
01:49 And they want more superterrorists.
01:51 That's when people are pointing out
01:52 that the rush to judgment by the left...
01:54 [ Indistinct conversations ]
01:56 Have a good day, hon.
01:58 But why does it matter
01:59 what some supervillain-loving snowflake has to say?
02:01 Every minute we waste...
02:04 One superterrorist has already got through.
02:07 More will come.
02:08 It's 1:45.
02:09 And I mean, for all we know,
02:11 these maniacs could have already flown over our borders
02:14 and be standing next to you right now...
02:16 You all right, pal?
02:17 ...just waiting for their chance to kill us all.
02:19 Keep America safe again, and I am so glad
02:22 that I was there this time.
02:23 But what about you?
02:25 I am counting on you...
02:28 Have a good day, hon.
02:29 ...every minute we waste...
02:30 No, it's up to us.
02:31 We have to make our voices heard.
02:33 That is why...
02:34 [ Indistinct conversations ]
02:36 ...let's show Vaught with it.
02:37 [ Indistinct conversations ]
02:39 [ Indistinct conversations ]
02:42 I am counting on you to show us the way.
02:46 Don't let me down.
02:48 Okay.
02:49 [ Indistinct conversations ]
02:53 Oh, fuck.
02:54 I saw the light in your eyes.

03:25 Look, I told you Stormfront gave the orders.
03:27 I just executed them.
03:29 It was, um...
03:31 It wasn't easy.
03:32 Yeah, I think we can all agree
03:33 that you are the real victim here.
03:35 Now, let's cut the shit and go over it again from the start.
03:38 I just left the 7th, and Mr. Edgar invited me to his --
03:42 Put away that petulant look
03:44 before you hurt someone with it.
03:45 Yeah, I should be chuffed we're pissing away
03:47 the best asshole we ever got our mitts on.
03:49 And your plan would be?
03:50 Same as always -- squeeze the cunt
03:52 till he gives up the next cunt
03:53 and kill the fuck when we're done.
03:54 I've no doubt you'd be happy
03:56 with that unending cycle of brutality.
03:58 How can you not want blood for what he done?
04:01 He's willing to speak against Vaught at the hearing.
04:03 We've never had Congress on our side before.
04:06 Congress? Please.
04:07 What a bunch of corrupt fucking cunts they are.
04:09 Oh, come on.
04:10 You're not the first person to call me a cunt, Mr. Butcher.
04:12 I'm starting to think it's like a badge of honor.
04:15 Turn it in, dear, where I come from, love.
04:17 Hmm.
04:18 Well?
04:19 Opposition's gonna have a field day with him.
04:22 Disgruntled ex-soup, I'm fairly sure he's fucked
04:25 half the Sacred Heart cheerleading squad.
04:27 But, yeah, he'll be a good witness.
04:28 It's not enough, though.
04:29 Not enough?
04:30 If torturing and burning a bunch of mentals on Vaught's say-so
04:33 ain't enough for you Muppets,
04:34 then what the fuck are you good for, huh?
04:36 Strongly worded tweet?
04:37 You're a wanted felon, asshole.
04:38 We don't need your help.
04:39 Yes, we do, Lisa.
04:40 Mr. Butcher here has fought Vaught
04:42 harder than we ever have.
04:43 But I would like a turn.
04:44 If we can trust each other.
04:47 I think we can trust each other.
04:50 Hold still.
04:51 What do you need?
04:53 Okay, we know what they were doing at Sage Grove,
04:55 but we don't know why.
04:56 Why test compound V on patients?
04:59 What do they want?
05:00 I need the full picture.
05:01 If we're gonna take a shot at the King,
05:03 we can't fucking miss.
05:05 We know someone who might know the full picture.
05:09 Well, that's fucking rich, isn't it?
05:11 Who is it?
05:12 Like you said,
05:14 we're gonna have to trust each other.
05:16 Would you like a coffee?
05:22 Um, no, thanks.
05:23 How about a white chocolate unicorn frappe?
05:26 They're really good.
05:27 No.
05:28 I'll get one to share.
05:29 Mom, I don't want a fucking unicorn frappe.
05:32 Okay, sorry.
05:35 I'm just nervous.
05:38 When did you get to town?
05:41 I never left.
05:44 I've been staying at the Days Inn in Newark.
05:47 I'm not leaving until we talk this out.
05:50 I know what I've done to you.
05:52 Believe me, I know.
05:54 Mom, it's not just you.
05:56 It's...
05:58 Do you remember that...
06:03 cross that you gave me for confirmation?
06:06 Before every save that I went on,
06:09 I would touch it.
06:11 Like a football player leaving a locker room.
06:16 I thought that God was sending me on a mission.
06:20 I feel so stupid.
06:23 I gave my whole life to nothing.
06:27 That's not true.
06:29 Mom, the good guys don't win.
06:33 The bad guys don't get punished.
06:35 What we do means nothing.
06:37 It's just all for money, and...
06:40 I am in the middle of all of it.
06:45 Alone.
06:46 Honey, you're not alone.
06:49 You're not.
06:51 Let's go away.
06:53 You and me.
06:54 Let's get away from all of this.
06:55 Get away from thought.
06:57 I've been thinking about this for a while.
06:59 I cleared it already.
07:02 You cleared what?
07:04 With Ashley at Vought.
07:06 You called them?
07:07 Yeah, about an hour ago. Why?
07:09 Mom, they could be looking for--
07:11 Colony, do you think the Congresswoman is in danger?
07:26 I'm not sure.
07:27 It's a security detail.
07:28 It would be useless if a soup drops it.
07:32 She's our best chance to nail Vought,
07:34 but only if you keep her alive until the hearing.
07:37 Oui, madame.
07:39 And Serge,
07:43 no abandoning your post this time.
07:47 Oui, madame.
07:49 Hey.
07:54 I'm coming with you.
07:56 You're in no shape to go anywhere.
07:59 Besides, we've got a very important job for you.
08:02 We need you to look after our star witness.
08:05 Hey, you guys want to watch "Deep Desert in the Blowhole"?
08:09 I don't want to watch that film.
08:12 It's a classic. You'll love it.
08:15 Butcher, let's go.
08:17 [phone ringing]
08:20 Hello, Mom?
08:22 Hey, Billy, you ain't been picking up.
08:25 Oh, we're in a meeting.
08:27 I'm in New York.
08:29 [sighs]
08:31 Look, I told Judy to tell you not to fucking come.
08:34 Language.
08:35 It's a bleeding expensive plane ticket, all right?
08:38 And I ain't got the time to just--
08:39 Billy, he's dead.
08:41 Your father's dead.
08:43 You there?
08:48 When did that happen?
08:49 Can I see you, please?
08:51 I need to see you right now.
08:54 [knocking]
09:16 Let me out!
09:18 [knocking]
09:21 Please let me out.
09:31 Please let me out.
09:33 Please.
09:35 Come on, man, stop.
09:37 It's not cool.
09:38 I guess you should have made your wife come, snowflake cuck.
09:43 [groans]
09:45 You know, you don't need the discs.
09:48 You can just download--
09:49 What do you want to watch next?
09:51 Uh, "Translucent, Invisible Cock,"
09:54 "Queen Maeve, Pleasure Slave."
09:56 Yeah, "Big Black Noir."
09:58 Oh, "Starlight Pulls an H-Ring."
10:00 I'm good. I'm good.
10:02 Thank you.
10:03 Okay.
10:05 Different strokes, man.
10:06 Please don't say that in this context.
10:08 I should just get up and leave.
10:10 But I want you to come back and fuck me.
10:12 Don't you?
10:13 This isn't healthy, man.
10:15 You can't watch porn while the sun's out.
10:18 Look, if I get up at that hearing, I'm dead anyway.
10:21 What difference does it make?
10:24 Okay, drop the remote or I'll burn your fucking face off.
10:28 [door slams]
10:32 Uh...
10:35 [indistinct chatter]
10:38 You know I was a prodigy?
10:41 Fucking prodigy.
10:44 I lit my first fire at four,
10:46 burned my whole house down.
10:48 My dad...
10:51 was so proud.
10:53 My son's a soup.
10:55 I was gonna do great things.
11:00 Almost did.
11:02 Now look at me.
11:04 I'm like the cuck in the porn,
11:07 sitting on the sidelines while the real heroes are at it.
11:10 I'm doing the fucking.
11:12 You want to know why they left me to babysit you?
11:19 Because you're useless.
11:22 My mom, she, uh...
11:28 Never mind.
11:31 After she was gone,
11:36 I watched my dad do nothing
11:39 his whole life.
11:41 But me,
11:43 I thought I finally found something.
11:46 I thought I found what I was meant to do.
11:49 But it turns out I'm shit at that as well.
11:55 You're not the cuck.
11:57 I'm the cuck.
12:01 Actually, you're worse.
12:03 You're the cuck fluffer.
12:06 (moaning)
12:11 Hey, hey!
12:13 What's up?
12:15 How you guys doing out there?
12:18 Good to see you.
12:20 Hey, hey.
12:24 Hey, do me a favor.
12:26 Who's the real heroes?
12:28 You are!
12:30 Thank you. I just want to be clear.
12:32 No one condones the tragic shooting at the convenience store.
12:35 Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kuldeep Singh's family.
12:38 And we are making a donation to Samaritan's Embrace in his name.
12:42 Absolutely. Thoughts and prayers.
12:45 But that doesn't change facts.
12:48 This used to be a beautiful country.
12:52 Remember?
12:53 One nation under God.
12:55 Remember?
12:57 Right before these godless, inhuman super villains
13:00 started pouring across our borders
13:03 and dragging us down into their mud.
13:06 What do SJWs like Victoria Newman want us to do?
13:11 Just let 'em in and give 'em a cup of iced tea?
13:14 And then punish us for trying to stop them?
13:17 That's right.
13:18 Has there ever been anyone in history more persecuted
13:21 just for trying to protect their own?
13:23 (cheering)
13:24 We are at war.
13:26 We need more Compound V.
13:28 Absolutely.
13:29 We need more soup!
13:31 (cheering)
13:33 We need more super heroes!
13:35 (chanting)
13:36 Now, I've always been honest with you.
13:39 You know that.
13:40 And I gotta be honest with you now.
13:42 Brings me no pleasure to tell you this,
13:44 but we also had a mole in the seven.
13:47 That's right. One of our own.
13:50 Starlight.
13:52 I know. I know. It's okay.
13:55 She's been apprehended, and she can't hurt anyone else.
13:59 I can't believe this.
14:01 Put 'em in. All of 'em.
14:03 I want all of 'em in at the same time.
14:05 Okay, this is insane.
14:07 Hey, no.
14:08 Fuck yeah.
14:09 Starlight has been conspiring with the people
14:12 who murdered in cold blood my brother.
14:15 Oh, my God, fuck.
14:17 (siren blaring)
14:19 (indistinct radio chatter)
14:22 I bet you she's in 42D.
14:25 Come on, butcher, where are you?
14:27 I'm trying to get a hold of her as if she's still alive, which...
14:29 Wait, wait, wait, what's 42D?
14:31 At the tower. Suit-proof, mostly.
14:33 Steel wall, six feet thick.
14:34 How do I get in?
14:35 Into the tower? Yeah, you don't.
14:37 And I'm sorry, man, but she's probably dead.
14:39 Well, there's gotta be something, right?
14:41 Like a secret entrance?
14:42 Maybe one or two, but forget it, man. It's crazy.
14:44 Okay, show me. Come with me.
14:45 Look at you. You're still fucked up.
14:47 Which is exactly why I need your help.
14:48 Get your friend.
14:50 Butcher isn't picking up,
14:51 and the others are halfway across the state.
14:53 We gotta go now.
14:55 Listen, Vought screwed you over, right?
14:57 Well, now they're trying to do the exact same thing to her.
15:00 This shit is over for me.
15:03 My whole life is over, okay?
15:05 This is your last chance to be a hero again.
15:08 Come on. I mean, do you want to be the cuck,
15:10 or do you want to be the...
15:12 guy who fucks the wife?
15:15 Okay, yeah, yeah.
15:24 Let's go fuck the wife.
15:26 Consensually. Come on. Come on.
15:28 Hello, Mom.
15:41 Will you come with me?
15:51 No.
15:53 Now, don't hate me.
15:57 Why would I hate you?
15:59 Look, I'm sorry. It was my idea,
16:10 but you wouldn't come any other way.
16:12 No, no, no, look, no, don't.
16:14 He hasn't got much time.
16:15 Not my problem. That's yours, 'cause you stayed with the cunt.
16:17 Have I ever asked you for anything? Ever?
16:20 For you.
16:35 What, Noah?
16:42 You step one inch closer,
16:44 and I'll kill you quicker than that fucking arse can, son.
16:47 I'll bet you would.
16:49 I seen on the news where you topped that Stillwater slag.
16:53 It weren't me.
16:55 But thanks for your support.
16:57 Hey, hey, hey, please, please.
16:59 I just want to talk.
17:01 Two minutes.
17:11 Ooh.
17:13 You been following the ashes?
17:17 You want to talk about the fucking cricket?
17:20 You remember the '83 World Cup?
17:23 I took it every match.
17:25 Leeds, Old Trafford.
17:27 You loved it.
17:29 Do you know why I loved it?
17:31 'Cause you get on a piss with your losing mates,
17:35 and I could fuck off for hours and you'd never know.
17:38 Yeah, well, let's not do this, then, eh?
17:40 Yeah, let's not.
17:41 I know I was no perfect father,
17:44 but I never got a chance to say goodbye to Lenny,
17:47 and I don't want that with you.
17:49 You didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Lenny?
17:51 You're the fucking reason he's dead.
17:53 You let me tell you something, William.
17:55 It's a shit world out there.
17:57 You can't rely on no-one but yourself.
18:00 You either sink or you swim.
18:02 And in Lenny's case, he chose to sink.
18:06 You don't have the fucking right to mention his name.
18:10 I fucking loved Lenny.
18:12 But he wasn't hard like you.
18:16 That's why you're still here and he's dead, isn't it?
18:18 You beat the fucking shit out of both of us, didn't you?
18:21 Maybe I pushed you a bit hard.
18:23 But look at you.
18:25 Are you afraid of anything?
18:27 No?
18:28 Are you the strongest bastard you know?
18:31 Yeah?
18:32 Ha!
18:33 Tougher than I ever was.
18:38 Oh, you're welcome, asshole.
18:43 Lenny stuck that gun in his mouth
18:52 and you couldn't hack it anymore
18:54 and you're pissed off to join the SAS like a right cunt.
18:58 You're the one who abandoned him, not me.
19:02 (SIREN WAILING)
19:04 (GRUNTS)
19:07 You're a fucking insolent judge for the law.
19:10 Hey, come on, back in! Back in!
19:13 Stop!
19:14 Jesus Christ!
19:17 What have you done?
19:19 You see?
19:21 Lenny could never have done that.
19:24 Christ, Billy!
19:29 Jesus.
19:31 All right, guys, sorry, we gotta go.
19:37 Thanks very much. Take care. God bless.
19:40 God bless.
19:41 I'm telling you, it's a mistake.
19:43 What is?
19:44 Keeping fucking Starlight alive.
19:46 I...
19:47 I underestimated her before.
19:53 I will not do it again.
19:55 Starlight is a traitor is trending number one
19:57 with a million tweets in support of Compound V.
19:59 A common enemy rallies the base.
20:01 Just trust me.
20:03 All right.
20:05 If I can get my hands on Hugh Campbell,
20:07 maybe he'll pull his little spine out the back of his fucking neck.
20:10 You okay?
20:14 Yeah, I just, um...
20:16 Your daughter?
20:18 Yeah.
20:19 80 years ago, she looked exactly like that.
20:25 Sometimes it feels like yesterday.
20:27 There's something I want to show you.
20:36 You want to finish out the backyard?
20:41 Okay, let me put this person right there.
20:44 Hey, guys.
20:48 Hello.
20:50 This is Stormfront. Stormfront, this is Rebecca.
20:54 Very nice to meet you.
20:56 And this, my son.
20:58 Hey, buddy. How you doing?
21:01 Listen, um...
21:04 I know last time I screwed up big time,
21:08 and, um, I just want you to know
21:10 I'm never, ever gonna push that hard again, okay?
21:13 All right, well, Ryan,
21:17 love you to meet my girlfriend, Stormfront.
21:20 Wow, he looks just like you.
21:23 You think?
21:24 Are you serious? Those eyes?
21:26 Hey, Ryan, your daddy told me all about you.
21:29 You have superpowers, huh?
21:31 Mm-hmm.
21:32 That makes you very, very special.
21:35 You are the first natural-born superhero.
21:40 Can we not?
21:42 That's right.
21:44 Um, Ryan does have powers,
21:46 but his mom doesn't like to talk about them.
21:49 Can you also let me know before you just pop by?
21:52 He's Ryan's father. He has a right to see his son.
21:55 That's very true, but look,
21:57 we all just have Ryan's best interests at heart, right?
22:00 I'm really sorry I haven't been here enough.
22:02 Ryan, uh, really like you to get to know Stormfront.

22:24 Hey.
22:27 Empire Walk.
22:29 Hi.
22:31 That was a fraud, huh?
22:37 I'm going to my sister's for a while.
22:43 [Footsteps depart]
22:45 I have a plan.
22:48 You don't need to be scared of Homelander.
22:50 That little girl? On the plane?
22:53 What she must have gone through in those last few moments?
22:58 I lie awake every night thinking about that.
23:00 Me, too.
23:01 But then I start snowballing and wondering,
23:03 "How many other people have you killed,
23:05 and what else have you done?"
23:06 I didn't have a choice.
23:07 I'm not blaming you. I'm not.
23:09 It is not your fault.
23:11 Just -- Will you -- Will you sit down?
23:13 And it's not fair.
23:14 Will you sit down?

24:46 All business.
24:47 Doc, what do you know about the Sage Grove Center?
24:49 Never heard of it. Should I have?
24:50 Well, considering Vaught's been doing illegal tests there
24:53 since you were the CSO,
24:54 and they're still doing them to this day,
24:56 it seems like you should've.
24:57 That's horrible.

26:26 But that's the point, Marvin.
26:27 It's never done.
26:29 You just let go.
26:31 No justice for your father,

30:29 He's the most kind, loving person that you've ever met.
30:31 He's a toxic personality,
30:33 and no church members are to have any contact with him whatsoever.
30:36 Right.
30:38 Yeah. No, now that you mention it, he did seem pretty toxic.
30:41 Yeah. What did he do?
30:43 Well, he claims the program had failed him,
30:46 but actually, he failed the program.
30:49 He doesn't exist. You understand? Of course.

35:34 Because I love him.

35:41 but what's best for him is to be here with me, with his mother.
35:44 Look, we have this opportunity
35:47 to give him a childhood you never had.
35:50 We can do that if he's here with me.
35:53 Please, I'm begging you. Please.
35:57 Yeah.
36:07 I'm sorry. He's very tired.
36:12 I understand he's had a few surprise visitors today.
36:16 Well, you tell him he's got one more.
36:19 The name's William Butcher.
36:22 Mr. Butcher, I can't apologize enough for what I've done,
36:36 but I can't give you the information--
36:42 But I can't give you the information
36:44 you or Grace came for, either.
36:47 What was he like?
36:58 Who?
37:00 Homelander. Growing up as a land.
37:02 What was he like?
37:04 I'm sure you don't want to talk about this.
37:09 Oh, there is nothing I want to talk about more.
37:12 And who knows better than you?
37:15 When he was a little boy, five or six, he was quite sweet.
37:23 He'd cuddle up to me.
37:26 He loved stories about Davy Crockett, Teddy Roosevelt.
37:31 Loved the idea of the woods, the forest, manifest destiny.
37:38 But, you know, I needed him to be the strongest man in the world.
37:42 So I went to work on him.
37:45 He didn't even want it.
37:48 It was for me.
37:52 Mm-hmm.

50:03 ...and its production and distribution of Compound B...
50:07 ...which I hereby present to the committee as evidence.
50:09 This is it.
50:11 Mr. Chairman, if I might?
50:13 The testimony we're about to hear today...
50:15 ...will prove that Vaught is guilty of corporate malfeasance and multiple felonies.
50:20 And it'll come from someone that has witnessed these crimes directly.
50:24 The chair calls former C.S.O. of Vaught...
50:28 ...Dr. Jonah Vogelbaum.

50:51 Dr. Vogelbaum, thank you for joining us today.
50:55 Raise your right hand.
50:57 Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give today will be the truth...
51:01 ...the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
