[The Boys are discussing A-Train's latest information on Sage when Butcher walks into the office]
Where the fuck you been?
[coughs] Shittin’ a kidney. Alright, listen up. Now, don’t get your knickers in a twist, but…
[Kessler appears at Butcher's side]
You remember Neuman’s dearly departed virus bloke, Dr. Sameer Shah?
I’m serious, Butcher. Don’t.
Well, funny story. Turns out he ain’t that dead. He’s been workin' for me, makin' some more of that virus.
What the fuck?
Wait, all they found was…
Goddamn it, you asshole.
Did you cut off his leg?!
Alright, alright. Keep your hair on.
So, basically, you’ve been amputatin’ motherfuckers while working on a secret bioweapon, and we’re the ones that are supposed to chill?
You are pissing away our best shot.
Now, the trouble is, we’ve hit a slight snag. He can’t make it deadly enough to top Homelander without causin' a global pandemic.
Jesus.
Wait… Genocide. You’re talking about Supe genocide. That’s…
Yeah, Butcher, even for you this is…
Which is why I’m fuckin' tellin' you, innit? You think I want that much blood on me hands?
Yeah, you do. You wanna fuckin' swim in it.
[to Kessler] No, I don’t! [pause; to the Boys] No, I do not. So to keep the bug from burnin' through you lot like wildfire, I thought ol’ Sameer could do with a bit of a hand.
From who?
A question both insightful and germane, my son. [pause; turns around] Ah, here he is. Speak of the devil.
[The Boys are in shock when they see Frenchie, who Butcher bailed out of jail, walk inside]
Bonjour.
How the fuck did you get out?
I had Mallory pull a few strings.
Just to be clear, this was against my will. I’d rather fuck a jar of fishing lures than to be free.
Oh, cool. Cool.
Alright, then. Happy reunions. So, Frenchie will help sort the virus. We’ll use it on Homelander and the VP, and that’s it. No one else.
