Патриот

He was blackmailing you.

I am the last person you need to save.

Yeah, but I did it for you.

I didn't really see anything down there, as a matter of fact.

I trust we never have to have this conversation again.

No. Of course not. Just this once.

Captain, you guys are the real heroes. We're just glad we can help.

I'm just saying, a missing team member is more important than A-Train's insipid race. Mr. Edgar wants us both at the race to roll out his new talking points.

They're just people. But they snap their fingers and we jump. Why? Why do we do that?

'Cause they sign our checks. Can we just cut to the part where you show up to the race anyway?

See, that's why I love you. You're the only one who tells me the truth.

Whoever it was... they just declared war.

I'm the world's greatest superhero.

You're my greatest failure.

Homelander, that's enough.

You got something to add, Maeve?

She didn't know.

Well, she stinks of adrenaline and her heart's beating like a little rabbit.

The only thing she's guilty of is being fucking stupid. She obviously fell for this Hughie Campbell guy. He's pumping her for information, so back off. Leave her alone.

Wow. Starlight, you must be something special. I can't remember the last time Maeve gave a shit... well, gave a shit about anyone, really.

Tell me the truth or I walk out right now.

[quietly] I'm scared. I'm scared of you.

What?

I said I'm scared.

Of?

Of you. I'm scared of you.

Thank you. Thank you for finally being honest.

So I say to you, Maverick, and to all the sons and daughters of this great nation, I will stop them. I will save you. I'll do it for you. For America.

Son, we can do anything we want. And no one can stop us. That's a good feeling. A really good feeling. And now you and me can share it together.

Who's Elena?

Elena's an old friend.

Since when do you have friends?

I told you to kill Hughie and you hesitated.

I said we should go to the police!

You disobeyed my orders because you're with him.

Fuck you! Hughie Campbell broke my fucking heart. Worse than anyone ever has. And a part of me wants to blast his fucking face off, so no I am not "with him". But if you want to kill me because I'm not a murderer and I won't straight up execute someone, then go ahead. So tell me, am I lying?

[he leaves her] You're not lying.

Freedom comes at a price.

You know, sometimes it feels like the justice system just doesn't work anymore.

Everyone always recording on their phone all the time. It's like you can't even...

Do your job anymore.

It's a mistake.

What is?

Keeping fucking Starlight alive. I underestimated her before. I will not do it again.

'Starlight is a Traitor' is trending number one. We've got a million tweets in support of Compound V. A common enemy rallies the base. Just trust me.
