[VANESSA] Marie, most kids around
here with a history like yours...

[SCREAMS]

- Annabeth...
- You k*lled them.

[VANESSA]... they get sent to the
Vought Adult Facility in Elmira.

- Jordan.
- What the f*ck?

[g*nsh*t]

What happened to you don't owe anyone

anything and to leave
you the f*ck alone?

Do you like Jordan?

Do you want to put your
mouth on their mouth?

I like them.

- [MOANING]
- Oh, f*ck.

I'm messed up, Emma. You should
be with someone that isn't.

Well, maybe I want to be with you.

- Sam, do you want my help?
- Yeah.

[CATE] Feel nothing.

[EMMA] I risked everything for you.

You would do anything
for everyone to like you.

You're not a hero.

What the f*ck?

- [SIREN WAILING]
- Dad, wake up!

We believe every time your
father uses his powers,

a micro-tear occurs.

I knew about The Woods.

I stayed quiet to protect you.

I'm sorry for everything.

Turns out this school has a
f*cking Mengele Health Clinic.

[SHETTY] Thomas Godolkin built this

place to figure out
what make Supes tick.

[CARDOSA] I want Marie. She doesn't

understand how powerful she really is.

Your powers are badass.

You can sense things in blood.

- We k*lled a Supe.
- So the virus worked?

What the f*ck is going on?

She wants to wipe us off
the face of the Earth.

We are gonna free The Woods.

You are superior to them,

and it's time we showed it.

Now.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[COMMANDING VOICE] In a nation rocked
by chaos, division, and outrage,

superheroes are under attack.

Victoria Neuman was the victim
of a deep state conspiracy

hatched by the treasonous Robert Singer

and Starlight, who
still remains at large.

But Victoria Neuman did not die in vain.

Her death inspired President Calhoun

to entrust the safety of superheroes

to Homelander himself.

Godolkin University is
where you can join the fight.

A campus where you can find
freedom from human constraints

and the woke agenda

and display your powers with pride,

alongside students who are just like you

and under the guidance of
an all Super-abled faculty.

A place to be exactly who
you are, extraordinary.

So, join us this fall

and become the hero our
world so desperately needs.

[JORDAN] Thanks to the tireless
work of the Godolkin Commission,

the world now knows the real roles
we played in The Woods tragedy.

We liberated our peers from

sadistic imprisonment and t*rture

at the hands of Indira Shetty and
her vicious human administration.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

And though it's a
blessing to be exonerated

after being wrongfully accused,

we will continue to question why this

abuse of young heroes ever happened.

Thank you.

[OVERLAPPING QUESTIONS]

Where are the other two?

Where's Andre Anderson?
Where's Marie Moreau?

That's it, you guys. Thank you so much.

The Guardians have to
move into their dorms.

[OVERLAPPING QUESTIONS CONTINUE]

Hey. Seriously, where's Marie?

She broke out, that's all I know.

That was months ago.
Vought hasn't found her yet?

She disappeared. What...

She didn't tell you where
she was going, did she?

You're in my head. You
know the f*cking answer.

Jordan, I'm trying to help you.

- You're full of sh*t.
- I'm serious.

As long as you're on campus and
don't make any trouble, you're safe.

That is the deal I made. Marie's in
danger, so if you hear from her...

Oh, let's go. f*ck Cate.

[CIPHER] Mm.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[CIPHER] Look, let's
just call it like it is.

Uh, the previous human
administration was full of sh*t.

[WHISPERING] f*ck me
with a red hot poker.

Last I checked, "safe spaces"
didn't include secret t*rture labs

dedicated to creating a virus to
wipe us off the face of the Earth.

But thanks to our brave
Guardians of Godolkin,

that program was exposed and shut down.

And luckily, every trace
of the virus was destroyed.

- [CHEERING]
- [CIPHER] But we cannot rely on luck anymore.

[QUIETLY] Ow...

And we can't trust humankind either.

- [STUDENTS SHOUTING]
- [STUDENTS] That's right.

And that is why, as your new dean,

I will be preparing you
for this brave new world.

- [CHEERING]
- Because it is high time that humans

and race traitors like Starlight

learn that what runs through our veins

is true Vought blue.

[CHEERING AND SHOUTING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

You never saw that Cipher
guy at f*cking Elmira?

Are you sure you did?

More than once. He was
a doctor or something,

and now-now, he's the dean? I
mean, who the f*ck is this guy?

I looked him up. He spent a couple years

at the Vought Mexico City office,

but before that, can't find
a single thing about him.

- What are his powers?
- I don't know.

I'm telling you, the
dude's a blank slate.

I mean, the name "Cipher" is
a little on the nose, honestly,

and I doubt Cate's really got the juice

- to spring us out of jail, so...
- [SIGHS]

Do you think he brought
us here? Like, what...

the f*ck does this all mean?

It means we went from one
Vought hellscape to another.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

Where's Marie when you need her?

Why? We don't need her.

So, um...

one of us should tell Andre's dad.

Yeah. I-I don't know.

Jordan, he thinks his son's
rotting in prison. Come on.

Emma, just stay out of it.

Nothing good will come of this.

How can you say that?

Because nothing ever does.

[TENSE, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Looks like talking to
your friends went well.

Wild guess, you got
nothing on Marie Moreau.

- Did you know about Andre?
- Andre Anderson? Yes.

He was my friend. How
could you not tell me?

Well, you could always peer
into my noggin and find out.

Though, fair warning, you might
not like what happens when you do.

[BLENDER WHIRRING LOUDLY]

He was at Elmira. Jordan

so something's going on,
but we don't know what.

Have you heard of him?

Well, maybe you could
ask someone at Vought...

I don't f*cking care.

I always told Andre
he was made of steel,

but he wasn't. He was flesh and blood.

He was my flesh and blood.

And I'm the one who shoved him
into the f*cking Vought machine.

And you want me to
worry about... school?

[QUIETLY] It's not your fault.

Vought did this.

You want some advice?

Leave that school.

And stay as far the f*ck

But you can do something.
We can do something.

He was a white dude who founded God U.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. He was Frederick

He spearheaded a research

Vought is resuming the program.

And that's why I need you to
find out, so we can stop it.

Um, I can't.

So let me get this straight.

You want me to give myself up

to the evil corporation that

go back to the school where

all so I can go on a

Geotag says Weehawken.

Wait, f*ck! That's, like,


Uh...

I'm gonna call an Uber.

Courtesy of the frat bro downstairs.

[SCOFFS] Why?

To find her.

Emma, Marie left.

Yeah. And do you see the blood?

- She's in danger.
- Emma.

She left.

She left us. She left Andre.

Maybe if she hadn't left, he
wouldn't have done what he did.

She saw her chance to
Shawshank and she took it.

Yeah, and she didn't come back for us.

You don't know that!

Fine.

I'll do it.

I'll go by myself.

' Cause everyone keeps
saying not to do sh*t.

Well, guess what, I'm gonna do sh*t.

Andre just wouldn't just sit here.

And where'd that leave him?

Andre's the first person
to ever believe in me.

[SOBS] He thought I was worthy

and I could help people
and I could be a hero. Hmm.

So I'm gonna go find Marie.

For Andre.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHISPERS] g*dd*mn it.

Wait.

I'm coming.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Have you seen this girl?

She was in the Hometeamer
fight up the street.

Yeah, actually. She was here last night.

She bought a bunch of sh*t.

Do you know where she was, like, going?

How the f*ck would I know?

- [SCOFFS]
- f*ck.

Um...

[SUCKS TEETH]

[REGISTER BEEPS]

[SUCKS TEETH]

Um...

is-isn't that her?

[EMMA] Marie!

sh*t.

You saw the video?

Uh, yeah.

There was blood everywhere.
Are-are-are you okay?

- I got to go.
- Yeah, of course.

- Hold on.
- But don't worry about me.

Just go back to your sweet
little deal at school.

We didn't make a deal.

- You're out of Elmira.
- [JORDAN] You left us.

We were all in there
together, and you jumped ship.

I saw an opening.

And I took it. What would you have done?

- Come back.
- [SCOFFS]

- For you.
- Right.

Like that would have been so easy.

Andre's dead.

[SHUDDERING]

[SCOFFS, EXHALES]

What?

[SHUDDERING]

How?

After you escaped,
he said you were proof

that there is a way out.

And he found some...

[SNIFFLES] metal maintenance pipe.

But he wouldn't just go by himself.

He waited for when we all had a chance.

But when he took us,

somebody had walled
the pipe off with brick.

And he couldn't pull it open.

And there were guards
and dogs and lights.

And so he tried to rip open
a huge steel door instead.

And it wouldn't move.

His powers weren't strong enough.

[SNIFFLES] And I begged him to stop.

[SNIFFLES] I begged him.

But he's so stubborn.

[SNIFFLING]

[SIGHS] And he kept trying

and he stroked the f*ck out
and he dropped and he died.

Why didn't he stop?

Because he was trying to be you.

[CATE] No. He was trying to be Andre.

[EMMA] Oh, what the sh*t?

- You f*cking brought her?
- Uh-uh.

- No.
- Look,

all I want is for us all to be safe.

That's all I've ever wanted.

I can't f*cking lose someone else.

[MARIE] f*ck you.

You're the reason this happened.

No. I just wanted to protect you.

Marie, you have

- to come back to school.
- No f*cking way.

Marie, please believe me.

You are safer back there.

We all are.

Wait.

[STARLIGHT] You know the truth.

I have no one else to ask.

You saw Starlight?

[STARLIGHT] I need your help.

What's Odessa?

What is she talking about?

- You have to tell Vought.
- Cate.

If they find out you spoke with
Starlight and didn't tell them...

- Cate.
- ...you don't know what they'll do.

- I am begging you.
- I've seen it firsthand.

They won't just k*ll
you. They'll t*rture you.

However long it takes.

I know because I've done it for them.

[WHISPERS] I can't.

[SHUDDERS] I'm sorry.

It's for your own good.

[GROANING]

Oh! Oh, my God!

[SHUDDERS] I didn't mean to.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

Why isn't it working?!

Her f*cking skull is broken!

The blood keeps spilling out!

I...

- I need to put pressure on it.
- Wait, wait!

You can't let her touch you.

[PANTING]

[WEAKLY] Emma. Emma.

[GASPING] Emma.

[GASPING] Emma, help me.

[PANTING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[WHISPERS] Emma, come on.

was viciously attacked.

This was a hate crime

against the most persecuted
minority group in history...

superheroes.

[CIPHER] Not all of us are bulletproof.

If humans ever organize

against us, we're f*cked.

So my job is to push your powers
to their fullest potential.

Good morning, b*tches.

[CLANG]

What the actual f*ck?!

[CIPHER] Cate is

in the hospital. Whenever she wakes up,

you'll be the first to know.

[HARPER] The queen

herself has returned.

[EMMA] Okay, guys, in the spirit

of brainstorming,

finish the job.

You're f*cking crazy.

Please tell her she's f*cking crazy.

Oh, you're both f*cking crazy.

[MARIE] What is this?

[CIPHER] Training, Marie.

- [GOAT BLEATS]
- If you listen to me,

you could be the most powerful
Supe that Vought has ever seen.

Yeah, right.

More powerful than Homelander.

[EMMA] Cipher, he's sus

as f*ck. No one knows

who he is, what his powers even are.

[MARIE] We have to figure out what
the f*ck he knows about Odessa.

[EMMA] We're gonna
need help from someone

really strong.

And crazy.

I'm this powerful weapon.
