You are sick.
I know. Multiple mental hospitals.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
What did I do?
Nothing. That's all I want right now. Just nothing.
Well... in that case, you're welcome.
Emma? Are you alone?
I mean, technically, I'm with you, so...
Do you like Jordan? Do you want to hang out with them? Do you want to talk to them? Do you want to put your mouth on their mouth and other fucking body parts? I mean, come on. This isn't quantum physics.
SBSoldier Boy
What are you greasy sack of fuck nuts doing in here?
What in the fuck?
Soldier Boy? What are you doing in here?
SBSoldier Boy
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.
SBSoldier Boy
It was pretty romantic.
JLJordan Li
[Extends a fist-bump] Hell yeah, brother.
SBSoldier Boy
[Ignores fist-bump extension] Shut the fuck up.
Fuck you. She... she just didn’t like, she didn’t like Jonas Brothers, was all.
SBSoldier Boy
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. [Clicks tongue]
Fuck you. You’re a Russian agent is what you are.
Andre. Bigger shit going on right now.
SBSoldier Boy
What the hell you talking about?
JLJordan Li
Turns out you were radicalized by the Russians.
SBSoldier Boy
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.
SBSoldier Boy
Yeah? Knock knock. Who’s there? Go fuck your face.
Okay. Fine. Whatever.
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Jordan. What do I always say, huh? Being a hero, it’s not about the glory. It’s about...
FJFemale Jordan Li
It’s about sacrifice. I know, sir, but what the hell kind of sacrifice was that?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Well, Luke... Luke needs cutting-edge treatments, put him over the edge. That boy could be Homelander strong. But sometimes... sometimes he has a bad reaction.
FJFemale Jordan Li
If Luke’s getting cutting-edge treatments, I want ’em, too.
Always looking out for yourself, huh?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
[Chuckles] Kid, you got a strong head. You don’t need ’em. Tell me, do you remember sitting in that chair, a scared-shitless freshman who never wanted to switch? And I promised that I would always take good care of you. Remember? Now... [puts hand on her shoulder] Jordan, people just don’t understand the lows it takes to reach great heights. And so now I want you to promise me, as my new T.A., that you will always protect me. Not a word of this to anyone.
FJFemale Jordan Li
You’re making me your T.A.?
That’s how you became Brink’s gatekeeper?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Of course. Because you’ve earned it. Can I trust you?
FJFemale Jordan Li
Yes, sir. I’m honored. [They hug]
So you knew! You knew Golden Boy attacked Brink before!
MJMale Jordan Li
I don’t know what I knew!
Looks like you knew a lot!
MJMale Jordan Li
He said he was juicing Golden Boy! What would any of you done?
Something, Jordan!
LRLuke Riordan
Hey. I’m Luke.
Cate.
LRLuke Riordan
You, uh... you seem pretty smart. [Chuckles] Could I cheat off of you?
You’re gonna ride my coattails?
LRLuke Riordan
All the way to the top.
Okay. So she’s the answer. We do this... and there’s no going back.
I- I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to, I was just following orders. We killed a Supe. My God. I- I mean, I thought she’d get the flu. Some vomiting. Maybe diarrhea.
So the virus worked?
Only five millimeters more, that was all.
All right. Now can you make it contagious?
SRSam Riordan
I did rip an entire person in half.
Yeah.
SRSam Riordan
I mean, in my defense, he was a puppet at the time,
But you're so sweet. I mean, when you're not slaughtering a bunch of dudes.
Compassionate control.
VNVictoria Neuman
That is such a great phrase. Do you mind if I steal that?
BSBald Supe
Try not to breathe.
So... so all this because he lasered that Starlighter dude?
Oh, Cate. [Enters house] Why are you in here with all the lights off?
I’ve been trying to call you for hours.
I’m sorry, my meeting went long. [Chuckles] You look so tired, darling. Why don’t we... get you some rest. We can talk later.
This can’t wait.
You’ve not been taking your medication, Cate. You know what happens when you don’t. I’ve got your prescription here.
No. All those pills ever did was make me numb. They weren’t helping me. They were clouding me. You talk, manipulate, control. That’s all you’ve ever done to me.
That isn’t true.
And I’m fucking sick of it. You say I’m doing the right thing. It doesn’t feel right. What if I said you didn’t have to do it anymore? Lies.
Am I? [Softly chuckles] It’s almost time to leave this place.
You’re leaving me?
[Walks to her] No. We are leaving. Together. After I’ve tied up a few loose ends, then all of the sacrifices, all of the hard work will finally pay off.
You want to make us sick!
Not you. No, I’m gonna keep you safe. We need each other. When I lost my husband and my daughter, I lost my entire world. Every day I asked myself, [sits on sofa arm] “Why am I still here?” But in finding you, and with all our time together, I... I’ve found something truly special again.
My powers.
No, Cate, you. [sits on sofa cushion] A girl who was just as lost and lonely as I felt. [Takes her hands] Somehow, I feel like you are truly mine, and I love you.
[Hears overlapping voices] You’re telling the truth.
[Chuckles and Cate kneels down] Yes. [Strokes her cheek] I know you feel alone, but we have each other. One last push from you, and then we can leave all of this behind. You will never be alone again. [Kisses her forehead]
[Meeting Victoria in a parking garage with briefcase] The virus isn’t very contagious, thank God. It can survive for a few days at ambient temperature, but, you’ll want to get these test tubes into cold storage sooner than later. NIH will know what to do.
VNVictoria Neuman
Speaking out against Vought takes a lot of courage, Dr. Cardosa.
I was so relieved when you contacted me about my research. I could not stand by any longer while Dean Shetty twisted my work. You and I have the same goals, right?
VNVictoria Neuman
Compassionate control.
That is such a great phrase.
VNVictoria Neuman
Do you mind if I steal that?
Sure. It’s all yours. And you’ll get me and my family out before things take a turn. Witness protection, right?
VNVictoria Neuman
Yeah. Already taken care of. [Hands him business card and he hands her briefcase] Is this all of it?
Yeah. And... you’re the only one who knows how to replicate it, right?
VNVictoria Neuman
We’ll make sure this stays out of the wrong hands. [Walks to vehicle, opens door and turns to him] Hey. You’re a 21st-century American hero, Dr. Cardosa.
[Notices blood dripping from nose onto blank business card and chuckles] Oh. The air must be a little dry. [Victoria implodes Edison's head and gets in her vehicle]
