[Butcher hears somebody near his apartment just as he's about to pour out the V24. He hides the V24 vials in a bulldog-shaped cookie jar before going out to investigate. Butcher enters the living room and sees Homelander outside staring at him from his balcony]
[opens balcony door] If you wanna watch me have a wank, it'll cost you a tenner.
May I come in?
[Cut to Butcher in his kitchen making tea with Homelander inside]
Where's Ryan?
He's at 673 Nosh My Bollocks Ave. You want a pen and paper?
You know, I could just... pull you apart, limb by limb. Make you tell me.
Nah, that'd be worthless. Victim always goes into shock. You gotta start small. Fingers, toenails, ears...
He's my son, William. My family. I'm gonna find him sooner or later.
[pause] Look, uh... I don't mean to be rude, but can we just skip to the part where you laser my fuckin' brains out?
Oh, for Christ's sakes. Where's the sport in that? I mean, look at you. It'd be like putting down a wounded dog.
You're the one with your tail between your legs on all them fuckin' talk shows. And then, they go and make Starlight co-captain? That's gotta sting.
[smiles] Touché, William. Touché.
What're you doin' here?
[disgusted] Vought. And the fucking Bureau. The wheeling and dealing, and–and giving and taking, just to keep everything... exactly the same. And you and me? Well, they treat us like old playthings and put us up on the fucking shelf. Treat us like we're obsolete. Doesn't that make you angry?
Yeah. It does.
What if... What if it doesn't have to be that way? What if you and I... Well, what if we share a different destiny? Something a little more... scorched earth. Shock and awe. Blood and bone. And in the end, only one of us left standing. [beat] Isn't that what you want?
Too fuckin' right. More than anything.
I look forward to it.
[Butcher glances at the cookie jar then at Homelander's seat, which is now vacant]
