Gen V (2023) s02e01 Episode Script

1
You know, getting into God U
was the best day of my life.
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[VANESSA] Marie, most kids around
here with a history like yours
[SCREAMS]
- Annabeth
- You killed them.
[VANESSA] they get sent to the
Vought Adult Facility in Elmira.
- Jordan.
- What the fuck?
[GUNSHOT]
What happened to you don't owe anyone
anything and to leave
you the fuck alone?
Do you like Jordan?
Do you want to put your
mouth on their mouth?
I like them.
- [MOANING]
- Oh, fuck.
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 fuck?
- [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
fucking 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 killed a Supe.
- So the virus worked?
What the fuck 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]
- You have to stop this.
- I'm trying to save you.
[SCREAMS]
Do you like attacking
your own kind? Stay back.
There's no doors.

[FLAMES CRACKLING]
[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.

This is it. Isn't it?
No. No.

Come on out. It's all good.
Better than good.
What's going on?
I got you out. [CHUCKLES]
Where's Andre?
Like you don't already fucking know.
Know what?
- Where the hell is Andre?
- Why don't you read my mind, cunt?

When did it happen?

Where's Marie?
[WOMAN] There they are.
The happy reunion.
Snap. [CHUCKLES]
We're back at school?
Golf claps to Cate. She ball tickled,
like, eleventy people at Vought
to get you released in
time for move-in day.
Hi, I'm Stacey Ferrara, Head
of Student Life, class of '13.
Oh, no one took those off. Cate. Cate.
Earth to Cate. Yeah, can you figure out
- who has the keys or whatever?
- What the fuck is going on?
[STACEY] Just a quick little presser.
Your statements are on the notes app.
You can have a little
looky-loo in hair and make-up.
We're not doing anything,
and we're not saying shit.
So then back to the van, is
it? Do you need to pee first?
We'll say it.
I don't care what it says.
We're not going back to Elmira.
Great. Follow moi.
What the fuck is that?
You know you got a dick
sticking out of your ass.
Oh, watch the stinger.
Would hate for that
thing to get set off.
You'd die a horrible death, and
I would, too. Lolz. [CHUCKLES]

Your left's your good side.
Chin down, eyes up.
Emma. Yeah.
[MAN] Throw up, Emma!
[CHEERING]
[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 torture
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 fucking answer.
Jordan, I'm trying to help you.
- You're full of shit.
- 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. Fuck Cate.
I got you two out. If they had
just waited, if Andre had just
[SCREAMS]
[PANTING]
Come on!
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[AUDIENCE CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
[CIPHER] Mm.
I'm Cipher. Your new dean.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[CIPHER] Look, let's
just call it like it is.
Uh, the previous human
administration was full of shit.
[WHISPERING] Fuck me
with a red hot poker.
Last I checked, "safe spaces"
didn't include secret torture 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 fuck 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]
How did he die?
Honestly? You're
already kind of fragile.
Probably best you don't know.
Mmm. Cheat day.
- [BLEND WHIRS, TURNS OFF]
- Tell me what happened.
Just because Flipped did $19
million in its opening weekend,
you think you can boss me around?
You got smoked by The Garfield Movie.
How about I call Homelander?
Do it.
I'd like to see how that goes.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPS]
Stop! Stop! Stop! Let go! Let go!
[WHIMPERING]
You ever gonna push me again?
No, no, no, I swear. I swear.
Okay.
[BLENDER STOPS]
Look, Cate, I like you,
but let's never forget who controls who.
All right?
Now, if you'll excuse me,
my lunch hour is really
my only "me" time.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
And, uh, if you really
want to be a help
find Marie Moreau.

[REGISTER DRAWER OPENS]
Thank you.
[MARIE] Yeah, hi, this is Vanessa
with New York Child Protective Services.
Hi, this is Shirley with the EEOC.
Susan with the IRS.
Is there an Annabeth
Moreau enrolled there?
I'm looking for an Annabeth Moreau.
M-O-R.
No record of her at all?
No record of her at all.
E-A-U.
There is?
Oh. That would make her
Eighty-four. Um, no, not the Annabeth
I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

him until fate stepped in,
and he and Cate got
Flipped. Now streaming on
And big news today out
of Godolkin University.
Jordan Li and Emma Meyer have
officially re-matriculated
after being exonerated by
the Godolkin Commission.
We liberated our peers from
sadistic imprisonment and torture
at the hands of Indira Shetty.
And though it's a blessing to be
exonerated after being wrongfully
[VEHICLE DOORS CLOSING]
[MAN] Look, boys, fucking
Starlighter shit stains.
This is Homelander country. You
sure as shit don't belong here.
We don't want any trouble.
Sure you do. You're going to a
fucking rally for a wanted terrorist
and child molester, aren't you?
[DANIEL] Hey! Hey. That hurts. Let go!
Homelander's right, you're all monsters.
You probably douche with adrenochrome.

You need to back off and go home.

Hello?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mr. Anderson?
[SIGHS]
Sir I'm Emma Meyer.
- I was friends with Andre.
- I know who you are.
You already know, don't you?
About Andre?
I still have a few friends at Vought.
So, if that's all, thank you,
but I'd like to be left alone.
I'm so sorry
I said leave me alone!
Cipher was there.
The new dean.
He was at Elmira. Jordan
saw him working there,
and now he's at fucking Godolkin,
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 fucking 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 fucking 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 fuck
away from Vought as you can.
Including me.
But you can do something.
We can do something.
He was all I had!
Now, get the fuck out!
Please.
[SCOFFS]
You know, maybe maybe I
didn't know Andre for that long.
But I do know he wouldn't have given up.

I can't believe I'm

[SCOFFS] It's Annie.
How'd you find me?
Someone filmed you beating
up those Hometeamer pricks.
You need to be smarter than that.
Especially with Dogknott the
Bounty Hunter up your ass.
Come on.
[MARIE] Thanks for taking him out.
Yup, and there's probably 20 more
Vought Supes on their payroll.
You just can't stay on the run forever.
You're making it work.
Marie, I'm sleeping in shitholes.
I'm wondering whether
Vought is just gonna swoop in
and kill all of the innocent people
who have helped me along the way.
I don't have a choice. Okay?
- But you do.
- What do you mean?
Come on. We got to go.
Okay, so Vought
Vought has offered
your friends some deals,
and they'll offer you one.
You need to take it, and you
need to go back to school.
Why would I ever go back there?
Because it's the safest place for you.
And, um
I need your help.
You need my help?
What do you know about Thomas Godolkin?
Um
He was a white dude who founded God U.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. He was Frederick
Vought's right-hand man.
Ambitious little shit.
He spearheaded a research
program called Project Odessa.
And we think that's the main
fucking reason he started the school.
What were they researching?
We don't know, but we
have a source that says
Vought is resuming the program.
And that's why I need you to
find out, so we can stop it.
Who's we?
Um, I can't.
So let me get this straight.
You want me to give myself up
to the evil corporation that
imprisoned me for months,
go back to the school where
kids were being tortured,
all so I can go on a
wild-goose chase to find Odessa,
which we know close to nothing about?
Is it a Hail Mary? Yeah.
Yeah, it is. But this is war, Marie.
I mean, what if this is
Homelander's fucking nuke?
- Shouldn't we stop it? Sh
- Annie.
Annie, I appreciate your help,
but I can't get pulled
into this shit again.
I just want to find my sister.
I'm sorry.
Marie.
You know why you couldn't
just leave those Starlighters?
Because you're not that kind of person.
You're good.
You're a hero, even.

[WHISPERS] Goddamn 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 shit.
Do you know where she was, like, going?
How the fuck would I know?
- [SCOFFS]
- Fuck.
Um
[SUCKS TEETH]
[REGISTER BEEPS]
[SUCKS TEETH]
Um
is-isn't that her?
[EMMA] Marie!
Shit.
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 fuck 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 shit?
- You fucking 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 fucking lose someone else.
[MARIE] Fuck you.
You're the reason this happened.
No. I just wanted to protect you.
Marie, you have
- to come back to school.
- No fucking 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 kill
you. They'll torture 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 fucking 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.

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 fucked.
So my job is to push your powers

Good morning, bitches.

[EMMA] Okay, guys, in the spirit

finish the job.
You're fucking crazy.
Please tell her she's fucking crazy.
Oh, you're both fucking 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 fuck. No one knows
who he is, what his powers even are.
[MARIE] We have to figure out what
the fuck he knows about Odessa.
[EMMA] We're gonna
need help from someone
really strong.
