Original subtitles

- Holy shit. - Found something?

The Odessa program.

It was the brainchild of Thomas Godolkin.

My work is the cumulation of years and years of research.

Jesus Christ!

You can all level up under the right amount of pressure.

Marie!

I'm not gonna be your weapon.

I don't want you to be a weapon.

- Annabeth? - Marie?

You're our salvation.

- She brought her sister back to life. - How did you do it?

I just... fixed it.

Cipher has a super old dude in a hyperbaric chamber in his house.

We think the man Cipher was keeping in that thing was Thomas Godolkin.

- Fuck! - This school,

it's become a monument to mediocrity,

so my mission is to cull this herd.

What the fuck?

With my powers, I'm able to keep him from controlling me.

Maybe from controlling any of us.

Godolkin could be the key to everything.

I am the only one

who can wake up Godolkin, stop Cipher.

I'm not him! I'm not him!

We have to go now.

He's Cipher.

We want gods to walk this Earth, not circus freaks.

Okay, who's next?

♪ I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right ♪

♪ I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night ♪

♪ I love you, baby, trust in me when I say ♪

♪ Oh, pretty baby...

Come on, come on.

I'm so sorry about the carpet.

It's fine. It's... probably fine.

How is this even possible?

If Cipher can control people, then this whole time, he must've been controlling...

Oh, Doug. I'm Doug. Hi.

I don't know what the fuck is happening.

But if this is true, it was always Godolkin,

who supposedly died 60 years ago.

And is supposed to be, like, 100. Why did he look so young?

Oh, um, he, uh, took the same V that Soldier Boy and Stormfront took.

It was called V-One, so he-he doesn't age.

But you do.

I'm the second puppet. The first one is dead.

Good news, Vicodin.

Bad news, expired six years ago. And ice.

Thank you.

Marie, why don't you see what you can do.

Anyway, um, so it was, like, '96,

and I was, I was getting work trying to fix VCRs.

Uh, I got a call from this guy,

went to his house. Dr. Fielder.

And he, and he was, like, old, but sweet dude.

He was like a grandpa.

He asked me all these questions

about myself, like about my-my family and my friends, and...

You know, of course, the thing was I didn't, I didn't have a life.

My parents were already gone.

I can't do anymore. I'm...

I'm too...

From Godolkin. I'm... I...

I can try again in a few hours.

Thank you. Thank you for trying.

You know, then Godolkin, he jumped inside my head,

and the first thing he asked me to do was kill Dr. Fielder, and...

Like, I choked him with my bare hands.

I felt so sorry for him.

And I tried, you know, I tried to fight back,

but it was like I was in a box inside my own mind.

Like being in the back seat of your own car.

Mm.

If he can control anybody, why didn't he just control Marie?

Make her heal him weeks ago.

Oh, uh, uh, he can't.

- She's just too powerful. - No.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, he tried when you were at Elmira. Bunch of times.

But...

One thing he wasn't lying about, Odessa,

that-that really did put you on a different level.

He needs a doctor.

Should we call an ambulance?

No, no, no. That's too risky.

I have a friend who's an attending at White Plains.

I trust him. I'll take you.

You guys should go to campus and lay low.

Hey, I got to tell you guys, no matter what happens,

I'm so fucking appreciative of what you did for me.

You have no idea.

Like, I never thought I was gonna get away.

♪ It's one of those days for taking a walk outside...

Oh, my God. This is... this is magnificent.

You've missed so much. Wait till you try boba.

Yeah, it's like these tiny, disgusting squid testicles.

Thank you.

Oh, it's so fucking soft.

Feel it.

Y-Yes, it's a very high thread count.

Everything feels so good.

You feel so good.

- You've just been touch-deprived. - Mm.

All those years. Blunted.

Like living inside a fucking condom.

And now,

to be able to feel everything again...

Life is a miracle.

Yeah.

You were right.

About it all.

Planting Odessa for Starlight to find,

sending Marie back to school,

every domino falling just as you said.

I'm pretty fucking fantastic.

So... they've got me in this apartment in the Tower.

- Nightmare. - Yeah.

But it's not all bad.

Pretty big.

I haven't lived with anyone since I was a child,

but I could make room for you, if you want.

Or whatever. Not.

I've never seen you like this.

So vulnerable.

Honestly, it's kind of a turn-off.

Oh, fuck off.

You make me very, very happy, Jessica.

Of course I'll move in with you.

We can buy a Peloton we will never use.

We can fuck like rabbits on The Seven conference table.

- I like that. - Mm.

But we have to find a way to introduce you to Homelander.

Mm.

So he's not threatened. The man cannot take surprises.

- Whatever you want. - Yeah?

I just have one more class to teach.

Wait. What?

First, I am going to go pee

in a toilet, not in a diaper,

holding my own dick in my own hand.

God, what a fucking world.

Did you say class?

Why? You've gotten everything you want out of this place.

Not everything.

Thomas, I've got work to do. We've got work to do.

What's more important?

I'll show you.

So, uh, you got any people I can reach out to?

Relatives, friends who could help you out?

Uh, probably not. Like, what would that be?

"Hey, you want to take care of a dude you haven't seen for 30 years?"

There's got to be somebody you can call.

I tortured people.

Like, actual torture.

It wasn't you. It was Godolkin.

Yeah. Sure felt like me.

You would've been so proud of Andre.

Sorry. I don't want to fuck you up. I-I just thought you'd want to know.

Tell me.

I mean, I just loved that kid.

He annoyed the shit out of Godolkin.

Always figuring out ways to fuck with him.

Andre actually

pissed in his coffee somehow.

Like, to this day, I have no idea how.

Or maybe he, uh, got a guard to do it or something?

Fucking legend.

That 1,000% sounds like my son.

He was fucking fearless.

He risked everything for the sake of his friends.

Your son is the greatest hero I've ever seen.

That means a lot.

I mean, it's obvious.

- Marie has to leave. - Leave where?

I don't know, anywhere but here.

I mean, Godolkin wants to stick his hand up her ass.

Metaphorically. Puppet her.

He could take over her body fucking forever.

Um...

You can change in the bathroom.

- It's just up the hall. - Okay.

- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.

Marie, what do you want to do?

I'll do whatever you guys want.

Well, not having Godolkin in your brain, is my vote.

I mean, he was already in there.

He convinced me that I was so fucking special.

That I was the chosen one, all that bullshit.

And I fucking bought it.

I'm not special.

I'm never gonna be anything more than a girl

who cuts herself when she feels sad.

Fuck that. Hey.

If you guys weren't around,

I'd probably be puking my guts out and scarfing 16 pizzas.

And, shit, shit, fuck, even when I say it, part of my brain is like,

"That's a great idea, do it."

Hey, you won't.

I did.

In Elmira.

You saw it.

We're fucked up.

Everybody is.

But we also have people

to help us carry all this fucking baggage.

I mean, we're kind of like a...

cute little...

fucked-up family.

And we stick together.

- Okay. We gonna bring it in. - Oh. Are we hugging?

Oh, God.

This is one step closer to a threesome.

- It feels so nice. - No. Oh, my God.

I don't... I don't... No, thank you.

I'm gonna...

drop a deuce. We're gonna figure it out, all right?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I mean it.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

I forgive you.

Marie.

♪ ♪

Oh, thank you.

Good morning.

I'm Thomas Godolkin.

You may recognize me from my memorial bust on the quad

or my name on literally everything,

or the false reports of my death.

Holy shit.

There have been many lies told about me over the years.

So, let me clear the air.

I am a proud superhero.

And I am here to right a terrible wrong.

That is not the way to tell Homelander.

This university... my university... Has failed you.

And that ends today. Effective immediately,

all student rankings have been reset to zero.

And I am opening my advanced seminar to every student on campus.

Fuck yes.

Each and every one of you, regardless of power set or major,

will have the chance to join the Top Ten,

with all of the endorsements and city contract opportunities that come with it.

And one step closer to joining The Seven.

No way.

Your invitations will be in your in boxes shortly.

This is a great day for this institution.

And for a lucky few, the chance to become truly exceptional.

You see this?

- What? - No, we were...

It's a seminar. Godolkin's vetting everyone.

What the fuck is he doing?

Oh.

It's a fucking trap, obviously.

Yeah, a trap for what, though?

You.

Wait, so... what, he-he's gonna lure Marie to the seminar to save everyone?

She can't go, obviously.

The only thing I know is I'm done being the fucking chosen one.

So...

Whatever we do, we do it together.

Look, whatever he's planning, all these people are in danger.

We have to warn everybody.

How?

I know how.

I'm Marie Moreau,

and this is for every student at God U

who thinks they're gonna climb the ranks

by going to Thomas Godolkin's seminar.

Do not believe him. Do not go.

No class, no rank is worth your life.

Hey, did any of you guys get invited to the seminar?

Bondage babies can't talk when they're working.

You should fucking know that, Sam.

Rufus, you guys can't go to this seminar, okay? It's too dangerous.

You are the last person anyone should listen to.

Your fucking pledge killed himself.

Are you fucking serious?

A thousand-year-old guy rises from the grave, takes over,

and you're just Lebowski chill, bro?

What is Godolkin gonna do to us?

He wants us to get to Marie, and he's gonna do anything to make that happen,

- so... - So, don't go.

Oh, God, I'm sorry, man. I didn't want it to go like this,

but for your own safety, I got to keep you...

No fucking powers, cum bags. Lance!

I can tell you're cheating,

- no fucking levitating! - Motherfucker.

He roofied us.

You have a dick on your face.

You, too, Sam.

- What's good, players? - Fuck.

What the fuck?

You didn't go?

The whole seminar thing seemed fishy.

Decided to kick it with you guys.

Didn't do anything to stop the dick drawing, though?

That's some of my best work.

What can I say?

I love us.

And I know us.

Inside and out, soup to nuts.

I know what super humans are capable of.

The heights we have yet to reach.

You're Rufus.

A psychic.

Actually, sir, I'm a bit of a polymath...

A psychic who uses your power

to incapacitate co-eds for your own sexual gratification.

- No. I-I would never... - Not anymore, sir. He doesn't have a dick.

Let me be clear,

you have been invited to this seminar

not because you are exceptional,

but because you're failures.

Undeserving of the gifts you have been given.

Unworthy of this institution.

You've been complacent.

You've used your powers for sex,

for money,

for likes.

You are an embarrassment.

And now,

you will have to earn your spot among us.

Prove that you belong

or die trying.

What the fuck are you doing?

One simple test.

I am going to try to push that button.

And you have to stop me,

by any means necessary.

Lisa Henning.

Ranked 32

and currently bombing Intro to Improv.

What the fuck, Daniel?

He was in my head.

Controlling me.

Oh, fuck this.

Well, maybe the next group will do better.

He's fucking killing them! Don't go over there!

He's killing them! He's fucking killing them.

Hey, what's happening?

Godolkin, in the seminar room.

He's making everybody kill each other. He's fucking crazy.

- Culling the herd. - What?

Polarity said Cipher wants to kill all the weak and useless Supes.

That's why he opened up the seminar.

He's just gonna mow them all down, one group at a time.

Unless you come in to save them.

Jordan.

Look, I know there's a chance.

Like... like, a really fucking humongous chance

that you're never gonna forgive me

for leaving you twice, and-and for...

Marie, I... I forgive you.

You do?

But we can't be together.

What?

Marie, this isn't gonna work.

We always just end up in the same place, and...

- No. - And I don't want to be angry with you.

But I would love if I could be your friend.

Jordan. Just...

Wait. C-Can we just...

Marie!

Did you see the naked guy?

Um...

- Annabeth, have you had any more visions? - Nothing new.

Okay, I need you to get out of here.

It's not safe.

I've been running from these visions my whole life.

Maybe it's the wrong thing.

Maybe I'm supposed to run toward it.

Run toward what? We can't just let Godolkin puppet Marie.

- Hey, guys! - Hey.

- We've been trying to find you. - We've got an idea.

Did you see that?

I was controlling all of them.

I've never been able to control more than two at a time before.

Jesus.

I'm thirsty.

What are you doing?

Ah.

That was fantastic.

Hard work, even a little bit frightening.

But the adrenaline.

The pressure of it.

Thomas, answer me.

Learning.

Applying my own principles to myself.

I'm accelerating my own evolution.

- Why? - For us.

Bullshit.

This is not part of our plan.

No, not bullshit. I am doing this for our future.

Once I am powerful enough,

I will be able to control her.

Moreau? Why?

Well...

if I'm strong enough to control one Odessa baby,

that means I'm strong enough to control the other one.

Homelander.

No.

There's no reason to.

There is every reason.

Look at this school.

Look at these pathetic examples of supposedly superior beings.

And it's not just here, it is everywhere.

- Oh... Okay. - All of Vought.

And the reason that we have been held back for so long

is simply Homelander.

Look what you're doing to yourself.

- Look at your arm! Look at your... - Why is an Oceanland dolphin fucker

like the Deep in The Seven?

Or some gun show freak like Firecracker?

H-Homelander is so fragile, he's so fucking weak,

that he cannot tolerate any competition.

And so, we have had to embrace mediocrity.

Celebrate novelty acts.

No more.

No. Our... our plan.

Phase two, remember? Which Homelander is a vital part of.

I know,

but my plan is so much better.

Thomas...

I do not want to risk this.

After everything we've been through,

all the obstacles we have overcome.

I want to do this together.

With you. All of it.

Hmm?

Don't you want that, too?

We need music.

I'm just saying the ending wasn't really earned.

You killed the alien queen,

which definitely should've prevented any more eggs from hatching

because her breath had high levels of ammonia,

which fed the egg sacs.

This was established in the second movie.

Yeah. I mean, no, I mean, that-that makes sense.

Look, I get it.

Obviously, you've got studio guys who are all,

"We need to plant seeds for the sequel,"

but I feel like it's kind of a disservice to your fan base.

And also just not great storytelling.

So you can talk now?

Noir.

You can leave now.

Hey. Hey, I was just checking on him.

Get the fuck out.

Sure.

It was an honor, man.

Sage, you didn't need to lock me up.

Well... look, uh, like I said before,

this is all just a very big misunderstanding.

I was just driving that man to the hospital.

She fixed you.

I don't...

The hemiparesis on your right side is gone.

The tremor in your right hand is gone, too.

It was a mistake.

You're stronger when you were weaker.

No one is more powerful than a man with nothing to lose.

Did you love your wife?

What?

Cancer, right? And then losing your son.

Why would you sign up for that kind of pain?

I'm not talking about my son or my wife with you.

You're still gonna die, Polarity.

Just not today.

Not that it matters anyway.

Everything ends the same.

Vance, where is my next class?

Vance!

Come on in. Plenty of room.

Come on.

Clearly, I have been going too easy on all of you,

so we'll just have to turn up the pressure.

Vance.

Uh, I have one more student for the seminar.

Marie.

You're early.

We're not quite ready for you yet.

Could you come back in, like, an hour or two?

If you let everyone go, I won't kill you.

Well, that sounds like a really nice offer.

What do we think, kids?

By the way, I totally get why you use your hands.

It's not really functional, but...

it just feels right.

Jordan, now!

Fuck.

Oh, God. Ah, God!

Hold him, Ally!

Harper, go!

Did it work?

I have his power. I'm controlling him. Holy shit!

Hey, guys?

Am I controlling them?

Yes! Now don't control them.

Holy shit, it worked.

We got to get everybody out of here.

Yeah, 50 seconds until he's back to normal, people, so let's hurry up.

Everyone out!

- Come on, let's get out of here. - Come on, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

You guys saved me.

We beat you.

All of us.

Even the useless ones.

Thank you.

You know the key to evolution?

Pressure.

That's what makes diamonds, after all.

Marie?

Oh, my God.

This is it.

This is the vision.

Get out of here, Annabeth.

No, Annabeth. Stay.

Let her go!

My friends.

Now is the time for hard choices.

Most of you are...

perfect specimens of super-abled excellence.

But if I'm being totally honest,

you are the worst precog I have ever met.

And you don't even go here, sweetheart.

You fucking asshole.

I-I'm gonna kill you.

And the only thing worse than weakness...

is treason.

You have all betrayed your kind.

There is no place for you here at this school.

Or in the world to come.

♪ ♪

That was for Andre.

Thanks for the level up, asshole.

Vought is coming.

There's no time. You got to go now.

Vought will need a scapegoat

for Godolkin, for another massacre on this campus.

There's no human dean to blame this time,

and Vought already thinks you're Starlighters.

No. Look,

I've tried running. We all have. We aren't going anywhere.

I'm glad you all learned valuable lessons and all that shit,

but I don't have time to argue. You don't have time.

You just need to believe me.

Staying is not an option.

You have to go. Together. Now!

- Will we come back? - Don't plan to.

Come with us.

I need to stay.

So, this is a suicide mission.

It was.

A suicide mission.

Before.

But now...

I don't know how I'm supposed to keep going without Andre.

But I'm going to.

He's gonna be with me as long as I'm here.

Emma... you need to let me.

I'll be in touch.

I promise.

He'd be so proud of you.

I can't, I can't go.

- Of course. - It's just, my sister and...

Fuck shit up.

Can we stop here?

Yup. Uh, I don't think so, Emma. I'm pretty sure you were in my pocket.

It's further west, I'm sure of it.

Okay, does anyone even know how to get in touch with Stan Edgar?

No fucking clue, but I'm gonna need a bathroom soon.

- I'm gonna go now. - Me, too.

Fucking unfair. That's not cool.

You and Sam seem to be getting along quite nicely.

Nope.

- Nope. - Oh.

There's no me and Sam.

There's no me and anybody.

Are you sure you don't want us to drop you at Pam's?

Godolkin's dead. No one's looking for you.

You can go back to your life.

You trying to get rid of me?

I just want you to be safe.

And that might not happen if you stay with us.

With me.

I'll stay.

You guys need all the help you can get, so...

Oh, from you?

Whose visions are total fucking bullshit?

Wow. Rude.

Well, we'll see about that.

You're a hero, Marie.

What the fuck?

She's here.

Holy shit. Starlight.

She likes to be called Annie.

Hey, I heard about Godolkin.

Fucking Sage, leaking all that Odessa intel, and I fell for it.

If you guys hadn't figured it out, we would be in such deep shit right now.

But I'm impressed. A lot of us are.

- We could use you. - For what?

Want to join the resistance?

We kind of already have a resistance.

But yeah, no, like, some sort of merger.

How'd you find us?

Just a simple grid search.

Two hundred square miles around the university.

Took 30 minutes.

Okay, so this whole thing,

everybody just standing around shooting the shit in the wide open,

is the first thing I'm putting a bullet in.
