[Hughie enters the bathroom just as Butcher is about to inject himself with V24]
Butcher, can I uh… [Butcher breathes heavily] What are you doing?
Contingency. In case things go arse over tit at the lab.
[pause; closes the door] I wanna try some.
Don't be daft. This shit is poison, Hughie. A lad like you don't want no part of it.
What, you mean like a loser? A fuck-up?
Sooner or later, Homelander will find Ryan, okay? It's just a matter of time. I have to do this, alright? You don't.
Annie's in just as much danger. Homelander almost lasered me in half in front of her, and it was like... it was like I was back with every bully that I ever had, just taking it. And then she had to save me again! Butcher, please. Please. Please… because right now, I am so angry that I can't even breathe.
[sighs] Oh, Hughie… It's shittier. It's not power; it's punishment. You don't deserve none of it.
What, and you do?
Get ready to go. [closes the door on Hughie]
