What are you looking at?
Remember that time you smashed
my car with a truck
and snuck up behind me and
hit me in the head with a tire iron?
- Yeah. Why?
- Just curious.
Well, it was a great fucking moment.
Hot take.
You hit this little Chinaman
with a tire iron?
I'm Vietnamese, Wild Bill Suckcock.
And yes, he did.
I wish I'd killed him.
I wish he was sitting there
right now, dead.
You wish my corpse
was here in front of you?
Yes.
You would carry it around
with you everywhere?
Yeah, 'cause you're small and light,
and it's a reminder of my victory.
So, you'd torment my loved ones
who'd have to watch you carry
around my dead body?
You're taking it
a little too seriously now.
Shit, Ginger Cool, you are hardcore.
- Hey, fuck you too, asshole.
- (LAUGHS) Oh, shit.
GC is a little upset
'cause we're about to go arrest
his friend
and kill his favorite parrot.
You know, I wasn't gonna say anything,
but does Bordeaux know
that you were making faces
when you were on the phone with her?
I don't know
what this man is talking about.
If I was making a face,
then that comes with having a face.
- What kind of faces?
- He winked at me
like he had you wrapped around
his fucking finger.
- You winked at him?
- No.
I'll take a polygraph.
I don't give a shit.
If I did, it was a wink like,
"Hey, we're all in this together."
When the fuck does a wink mean
we're all in this together?
I'm from Illinois.
It Maybe it's a Midwestern thing.
I spent many years in the hills
of Illi-noise hunting balds,
and ain't nobody ever winked at my ass
to say we're in this together.
And that there is a point
for Hagrid here.
I don't want you on my side,
you fucking psychopath.
You judge me for ridding the world
of beak-ed vermin when you hit a little
incapacitated Chinaman!
He just said
he was from Vietnam, asshole.
Well, ain't that one of the places
Chinamens come from?
Question, are you the dumbest cunt
who's ever existed,
or just top five? (CHOMPS)
- That ain't nice at all, son.
- Shut the fuck up, all of you!
- Hey, I didn't say anything.

- Um
The eagle I was about to shoot
was the
was the primal eagle foretold
in the Yakama and Meskwaki myths.
What?
The eagle that rules
over all the eagles.
Everything in my life has led me
to this moment, son.
To kill the primal eagle!
The soul of our country shall be purged
of all of our transgressions
against all the native
and indigenous peoples of this land.
That's the one thing it could mean?
'Cause I
I feel like it could mean
a lot of different things.
Nope.
And I feel like you're just making up
- a bunch of stuff
- ST. WILD: Nope.
just to rationalize
your weird desire
- to kill eagles.
- No, sir.
It's kind of strangely condescending
to Native Americans.
Oh, well, son, we disagree
on some of the specifics.
But at the end of the day,
we both agree what's most important.
That so-called Eagly needs to die.

- We most certainly do.
- No.

I couldn't possibly be upset

who once tried to murder me,
while we try to arrest my friend.
- How wacky would that be?

I'm not getting paid to deal

What did you mean
you have to move the portal?

to where we're going,

- Transfer?
- Yeah.
I use this to do it. I
I don't know if I still can.
I was a kid the last time I did it.
- A kid?
- Yeah. Moved it twice.
Once when we found it in the woods
to my dad's trailer.
I think my dad was afraid
it was dangerous,
so he had me and Keith do it.
- What a champ.
- Yeah.
And then I did it again myself
when we moved to my dad's house.
Your dad didn't make the portal?
(SCOFFS) No way.
I thought he was some sort
of super genius.
You fucking kidding?
He flunked out of tenth grade.
So, how'd he make
all them helmets and stuff?

I'm about to go in there
and pick the lock on that closet door.
Economos, I need you
to stall them for a little bit.

Okay.
Six months ago, right?
I'm fucking around in there with Eagly.
Just letting him fly around.
It's cold outside.

- He disappears for a minute.
And I go running after him.
I'm yelling, screaming for him.
I find him.
He's by a door that's not mine,
but he's squawking at it.
And then I realize
the lock is exactly like mine.
And weirder, it's got a rack of
Peacemaker helmets next to it.
What?
I don't know why,
but I tried my dad's code.
It worked.
- So, I went in and
- Wow.
my dad was there alive.
Chris. This is like
after your father died.
- It's not.
- You saw him then.
It's not the same.
Those visions, they haunted you.
They messed with you.
I was worried, bro.
It's It's not the same, okay?
This isn't my mind

It's one of the 99 doorways

but it's better.
- Better?

It's Keith.
He's alive.

There's different ways to,
uh, crack this code.
Which way's best?
Hmm. (HESITATES)
You don't know?
I'm trying to think through
the various possibilities.
Didn't you hack into the CIA
when you were 14?
I did. That's how I got recruited.
- Yeah.
- And you can't hack this?
I can. I just want to find
the best possible way.
And I got caught hacking into the CIA.
And I promised myself
I would never make that mistake again.

That's
That is fucking bullshit,
to be honest, General.
I know.
I was one among five agents
who eradicated an alien threat,
saving countless lives,
and I nearly lost my life
in the process.
I had nothing to do
with Amanda Waller's daughter
outing her on national TV.
Had Agent Adebayo asked my advice,
I would have strongly
advised against it
and offered other potential solutions
for keeping Agent Smith out of prison.
So, I have no fucking idea
why I am the one
being black-booked here.
You know Waller, kid.

First off, my brother, okay?
Losing him as a kid, that was
the worst moment of my life.
Now, he's gonna lose me if I don't
He already lost his brother
if you killed him, Chris.
- You don't understand.
- Maybe I do.
I owe Emilia
an explanation about something.
About what?
Whether or not I wanna explore
a relationship with her.
- What?
- I'm not just gonna fucking stand the girl up.
She's damaged enough.
He cheated on her.
Dude, if it's real,
which I still very much doubt,
she thinks you're somebody else.
No, not really. We have the same DNA.
- I passed a fucking eye test.
- What's an eye test?
Where they put that thing
over your eye!
- Like at the airport?
- Yes. Yeah.
He's like me, except more of a dick
- with worse taste in clothes.
- I find that hard to believe.
Look what I'm wearing!
Looks like a Saudi prince
vomited his fucking dining room
all over me.
- You're wearing his clothes?
- You think I bought this, Ads?
That's fucking hateful.
Chris, no matter how green
the grass is over there,
our biggest problems in life
are the ones
that we carry within ourselves.
Everything else evens out.
This is where God put you.
You belong here.
- (PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
- Maybe I don't.
Why?
Maybe the universe fucked up,
Ads, you know?
You know, maybe I belong in there,
and my asshole doppelganger
belonged here.
But some fucking
cosmic occurrence switched us.
So, I end up in the dark dimension
where I can't catch a fucking break.
He ends up in the land
of goodness and light
with a brother who's still alive
and a father who fucking loves him.
The good us.
Where I'm a fucking hero.
It don't feel right, Chris.
P P P Peacemaker!
- Oh. Hey, Ads.

Hey, Adrian.
Um Uh, I got some doors
and hinges, just like you asked.
Oh, Quantum Unfolding Chamber?
Sick.
I've been in there
a bunch of times, you know,
it's best-friend stuff.
And I bet there's another me
in there somewhere.
- Don't you think?
- I don't know, Adrian.
Let's see if we can fit one
of those doors on here.

PEACEMAKER: Vij,
I need to borrow your ride.
- Where are you going?
- To see Harcourt.
Is that safe?
I need her to answer a question
before I know what to do next.
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Take the phone.
I don't trust him. Watch him.
(SIGHS)
Did you find anything out?
Emilia, this is your one shot
getting back in the good graces
of ARGUS.
This is bullshit.
I don't deserve this
and neither does he.
Emilia.
I'm going to meet him now.
Kupperberg Park,
at Hartley and Vermont.
I'll keep him occupied and distracted,
and then you come in.
And it better be more
than just these two bozos.
These what?
You're not taking
the Peacemaker down alone.
We'll have everyone there.
