[Hughie is left behind as the Boys rescue Frenchie and Kimiko from being killed by Neuman's daughter, Zoe, who is revealed to be a Supe]
Thank Christ. Can we go now? [recoils in shock when he sees Neuman] Jesus!
Hey, Hughie.
Hey.
You gotta teach Butcher the meaning of the word "covert". He just got made by a 12-year-old.
You mean Zoe, who just murdered two guys? Vic, you–you shot your own daughter up with V? How could you do that to her?
I needed to keep her safe.
Safe? You turned her into a fucking monster. Like you.
I'm sorry. That sounds like the pot calling the kettle a teleporting dude with his dick out.
Worst mistake I ever made. [pause] Vic, you and me, we were… We were like family. I mean… Was everything just… bullshit?
I almost told you once. That night of the blackout, you remember? You brought every bodega snack you could carry for Zoe. We played Uno with her for hours until the lights came back on. And I thought… you were one of my closest friends. I mean, hell, you're dating a Supe. If anyone would understand, it'd be you, right?
Why didn't you tell me?
I was scared.
Scared you'd have to pop my head.
I was scared to lose you. [Hughie sighs] I always cared about you, Hughie. That part was real.
Hey, Vicky… Fuck you!
[Hughie splashes acid onto Neuman, which only manages to burn a hole in her business suit]
Seriously? [scoffs] I have to be on TV in, like, ten minutes, you fuckin' asshole!
We're gonna out you! We're gonna go to the press, tell them you blew up Congress! I still–I still got the Red River files!
Okay, okay, okay. Have you ever seen WarGames? What am I saying, look at you. Of course you've seen fucking WarGames.
We're making jokes?
Mutually assured destruction. I hurt you, you out me. You out me, I kill everyone you've ever loved. The only thing that makes sense is a truce.
[Butcher sneaks up to Neuman's right with a gun aimed at her]
Or Plan B.
[He shoots Neuman in the head. Hughie ducks for cover as the bullet bounces off Neuman and ricochets off the walls inside the van.]
Jesus, fuck!
[groans] How is it you guys are actually getting worse at your jobs? [hears her phone chime and checks it] Mmm. They just called Arizona. Guess I better go change.
