Transcripts
welcome to the heavy spoilers show as
always I'm your host Paul and before we
get into our breakdown of the boys
season 4 finale I thought i' do a little
disclaimer talking about the video now
as many of you know we get early access
to these episodes and we wrote and
filmed the video you're about to watch
last Thursday obviously there's just
been a massive thing that happened at
the weekend involving an assassination
attempt against Donald Trump um and we
did go back and forth over whether we
should redo part of the video to talk
about that in real life but in the end I
kind of settled on leaving it as we made
it originally instead of trying to
second guess how certain things I said
may come across this is Du avoid either
sounding impersonal or putting a foot
wrong on what's a pretty serious topic I
do want this channel to basically be a
place where people can take a break from
all the negative things in the world and
just geek out other stuff they enjoy but
when things like this happen that can
obviously be difficult I hope people see
this as a channel where we can agree and
disagree on things but still have a
respect respectful conversation that
doesn't come from a place of hate
obviously I don't condone stuff like
this and I do think it's important to
condemn this stuff no matter what side
of the political Spectrum you fall on
anyway bit of a Down way to start the
video but I just sort of clarify some
things and make it clear why we don't
address something that's obviously
similar to what happens in the episode I
hope you guys enjoy it either way uh
this might even come across as virtue
signaling or what but yeah thanks again
for watching the channel we appreciate
it and yeah hope you enjoy the video and
take care take care yourself mate and I
hope you have a great week thank you
welcome to the heavy spoilers show I'm
your host Paul and this video are
breaking down the boys season 4
finale episode 8 is now here and it sets
up a lot of things for season 5 we now
know that that will be the last season
of the show however there's lots of
things going on we have genv season 2
and also the boys Mexico and lots of
things falling into place plus there's
lots of unanswered questions and things
is left in the air whether it's where a
train or Edgar are Ashley's
transformation samir's Escape defitely
not being in the show or what happened
to the Guardians of gulin there's a lot
to talk about so come with me as we
break down the episode and talk about
all the Easter eggs in it we'll also be
going over what happens in the comics as
there are a lot of things that could be
happening in the future without the way
though huge thank you for clicking this
now let's get into the boys Victoria
here is a superhero
now the episode's titled assassination
run and it centers around saving Dakota
Bob however due to comments he makes
about Victoria the country gets thrown
into chaos thus martial law is put into
effect with the soups now getting
unrivaled power democracy is dead and
Homeland is now in control the episode
predominantly takes place on January 6th
which was teased to us last week at the
21 minute50 Mark we saw them going
through the Assassins file and had a
paper with the date on it it was also
mentioned by the cast and crew with it
all building towards this no prizes for
guessing what real life thing it applies
to and we begin the episode with vnn
today a clear parody of Good Morning
America we hear the top stories of the
day now after a train ended up being
exposed as the mole the companies now
decided to cancel the training a train
movie even though they finished it
they've realized they'll make more money
as a tax right off we just realized we'd
make more from the right off now you
might remember something similar
happened with the backgirl movie and
this is a clear jab to Warner Brothers
heard they were sending shots at Warner
Brothers and the worst thing is they
didn't even warn a brother
he oh brother this guy stinks Adam BS
out here trying to convince V Studios to
release it with him posting the hashtag
release the B cut again was it release
the B I don't know move it on though
this is a clear nod of the SN cut
movement with them paring it originally
to get the dawn of the seven released we
also see the Vault Studios logo which is
clearly riffing off of Marvel and the
soups have dropped a big PSA to say all
lives matter I take responsibility
this is taking the mick out of the take
responsibility PSA video by all those
celebrities during the time of the black
lives matter movement I take
responsibility I take
responsibility I take
responsibility I take responsibility for
racism now lastly is the Electoral
College vote with Senator Calhoun once
more returning appearing at Tech
Knight's Party he really tuck the cake
and has been under V's influence since
season 1 there Doppel ganger disguised
as a woman and got candid photos of him
and he was strong armed into supporting
their super initiative there it was just
trying to get them in the Army R here
they now have control of the police so
it's further building off that and the
only thing the boys can do is work on
the virus pulling it from Kimo's severed
leg we see her cleaning the beesy bee
that Frenchie gave her last week they
have to get stuff done because One S is
sworn in they just one head pop away
from a dead press this is given an odd
to an mm's t-shirt as he's wearing one
for the hip group dead press the more
you know with huie and The Shape Shifter
we see she messes further with his mind
by proposing this gets him to do it too
and it robs huie of what should have
been a special moment with Annie looking
at the ring she sees her fingers
starting to rot and thus has to go back
to her this ring was given to huy by his
mother but but now the entire reasoning
behind it's over now I feel because of
this that it debunks one of our big few
times we did say right that well I said
I said that I'm not I'll take
responsibility for it I will take
respons responsibility now we did say
that we thought Daphne might have been
The Shape Shifter all along and that
this was done to get close to Huey
however she obviously dies in this
episode and though we don't see anything
with Daphne it's likely because they
didn't have time to include her I do
think it's a bit weird the last time we
saw her was in the maiden Manhattan
scene but even if the shape shifter was
her it would mean she'd have to be alive
somewhere for her to not keep rotting so
that theory times debunked and over with
buter we See's been hospitalized after
his fall last week Lads was for Weare
with them graying up t orin's beard and
hair and making his skin look paler
offer to deal with the devil kesla says
he'll juice him up just to give him
enough energy to take down all his soups
he explains that he was the one who
helped him kill Ezekiel and kesla might
be a personification of the parasite
this pops out of butcher later on in the
episode with it being Ain to the whips
and tentacles that the Symbiotes have in
Marvel now this is strong enough to tear
a soup apart with Victoria getting the
same fate as Ezekiel I feel like hesla
is actually just the Comic version of
buter in full force and that highlights
his fate we'll get into that later on
but who I want to talk about first is
mallerie in what's a reflection of the
end of season 2 she's agreed to take
Ryan once more into care in the end
though he kills her and it was a big
twist I wasn't expecting not a big twist
like her neck mate you know what I mean
now it shows that Ryan's kind of loss
and to me it's the move that pushes
Billy off the deep end the season
started with Ryan killing someone and he
was completely torn up about it now
sadly he's more like his dad in that he
views people as things things that just
get in the way of what he wants now
speaking of Homeland we C to him opening
up let's say his chest of Collectibles
the picture of storm FR is there black
noir's sword and melin's breast milk jar
you might notice that the jar of gray
hair that's now way Fuller than it was
earlier in the season with him tipping
some of them out finding the Christmas
present butcher sent Ryan in the end he
just trashes his room it's an immature
way to deal with things and he's Once
More Shot looking through a hole this
ties back to earlier at the lab when he
laser that guy's dick on off these were
both moments of anger at the past and
people he was desperate to get
acceptance from as we know homelanders
had psychological conditioning that made
him dependent on the approval of others
Ryan's rejection here is what's sending
him more and more insane and it all
boils down to the fact that he never had
parents like he had parents but people
that loved and cared for him you know
what I'm saying now he's tried to be a
father but failed at that as well and th
he feels like a failure in everything he
does the most powerful man on the planet
has no power over those he loves and
Ryan doesn't even listen to his orders
come here that's an
order now symbolically we see the flag
and monuments of America burning around
him this highlights what he's going to
do to the country with it all stemming
Out From This Moment The Burning flag
especially carries a lot of symbolism to
it and it's such a good way to
foreshadow the feature in the center of
this Burning Monument of the country
also stands Ry in Homeland a actually
thought that the pair were about to
throw down but he panics after TV Falls
still though it does to me at least
highlight the battle for America will be
something that's decided with these two
cutting over to Annie we see she's been
having a play on lunchy balls with he's
been black and wild lean lad diet
lunches there's also the chance to win a
season P to Vault land and this is of
course a play on Disneyland we learn
that there's a big class action lawsuit
against them though because the snacks
cause kidney stones now I also think
Annie is wearing a firecracker t-shirt
showing how The Shape Shifter taunts her
victims she also tells her about the
proposal the sex after it and how she
used the story of her grandparents when
doing it pretty brutal mate um and it
reminds me of like when people watch
Eight Episodes of breakdown to the boy
season 4 and don't hit the thumbs up
really really hurts her now when she
crouches down you might also notice that
she's wearing starlighter sneakers at
this point we also learn that the shape
shifter absorbs memories and this makes
her adapt at mimicking her targets now
we guessed last week that she deleted
all the info on Newman off the laptop
but I was a bit unsure on how she got
the safe code just didn't mention it cuz
it would make the theory fall apart um
but obviously taking memories gave her
this information so we got a theory
right I guess however about in doing all
this memory absorption it's come with a
cost absorbing everyone else's memories
is shoved out her own and she now no
longer even remembers what she looks
like now this power developed during
preschool when she absorbed her teachers
memories having this big info dump at
such a young age has clearly messed her
up and turned her into a psychopath
sociopath sorry so sociopath this is
defined as someone who has no regard for
right and wrong and ignores the feelings
of others she says that everyone feels
Justified when they do something wrong
and that everyone she's mimicked does
the same thing everyone is the hero of
Their Own Story and she berates Annie
for how she's blamed everyone else she
says Annie wasn't even the first choice
and I do wonder if huie was the original
plan I am still unsure though about how
her powers work though and we we've only
ever seen the transformation into women
even her First Transformation was a
woman with the teacher but yeah it was a
guy who picked up the folder from Sage
either way though that Slice on the hand
of huie did make me think they go with
him and she definitely have enough DNA
to mimic him cuz you know what she's
been up to 20 times in 10 days
apparently bloody luy guy anyway
taunting Starlight for losing her powers
these end up coming back in the end it's
weird that when she became Starlight
once more these disappeared and it's
only once she focused on being Annie
that they fully fell back into place
jumping back to the hospital we see huie
calling buter and we learn he's been
blanking his calls it's sort of a flip
on the scenario as the season started by
huy ghosting his dad's calls his dad
ended up dead in the hospital and thus
you can see why Hue is making up for the
mistakes of the past a buty tells him
about this Steakhouse he'd heard about
Nevada he told Lenny that the birds got
their BS out when they brought you a
steak Bute talks about how they were
going to go there someday but they never
got the chance to however I feel like
this is actually foreshadowing something
that's going to come down the line I
believe this is where Butch is driving
to at the end and later on we'll talk
about how I think it lines up with the
comics does spoil the ending of the book
though but I believe they're setting it
up here go
there for me and men would you he says
he'll go to the top of the steakhouse
and it would make sense to catch the
character here either way we could over
at a truth bomb and start to see
firecracker coughing as she gets slowly
more and more sick throughout the
episode I wonder right if she's going to
end up dead because of this and they
kind of leave her sickness up in the end
either way Homeland out was ready to
toss her to the side before she unveiled
her special gifts now that though I
think she's going to be put in a
position where she realizes what he
really views her as though she's been
loyal always subscribed and willing to
do anything he makes her move away from
him when she's coughing he isn't willing
to comfort her at all and it shows how
little he cares we know the medication
she's on enlarges the heart and it's
putting her severely at risk however
even though she's sick he wants her to
keep taking it and we've seen how he
uses the women around him for what he
wants this is exemplified in Victoria
who he outs on the show this is Ain to
when out at Ma sexuality and both were
people he he completely blindsided guy
hasn't even thought things through and
it shows how off the leash she is he
even lays his hair and triggers her eyes
and I think the acting here by Claudia
is incredible she's kind of just forcing
a smile and trying to look professional
but yeah you can see the shot going
through her head homelander sees it
being the first Super abled President
but she says she'll be impeached and
will have to be reelected in 4 years
however he says there's new rules and
it's clear he wants to create a
dictatorship without democracy in doing
this though he'll have to arrest people
in their Millions which is where the
internment camps come in now Calhoun
still C defies the election but rights
are breaking out across the country to
make things worse the laptops wiped and
a billy Jo Billy Joel phone caseate you
know he loves Billy Joel cutting to
singer we then see he's called a new
election and denies knowing Newman was
the soup however he's well aware and he
says that if he gets in it'll be over
his dead body because he'll have been
assassinated very good defense plan that
knowing the Comics it was Vic the V who
killed the president with Victoria being
a gender swap unleashing a wild
Wolverine he then assumed the mantle and
gave V several government contracts how
about they're going in a vastly
different direction with her dying while
singer survives now switching to the
scene with mallerie knowing what happens
yeah it's it's pretty bad mate she does
the usual thing when you see a kid that
you haven't seen in ages and you're like
ah you've grown up so much what the
feeding you don't snap my neck because
you don't know your own strength it's
sort of like poetry they rhyme as he
also accidentally killed his own mother
through using his powers mallerie then
became like a surrogate mom and now
these two women have died at his hands
the death of those someone loves due to
being loyal to homelander is also
something we see reflected in the Deep
according across to him holding Still
Waters Run Deep this is the book that he
read to Ambrosia last week I feel like
he's having second thoughts and
everyone's kind of regretting what
they've done this is not only in
firecracker but also Ashley to not
Ashley too like in Ashley as well now
she's printed out the list of employees
they're going to have to kill but little
does she know this is also going to
include her now the Deep says who
captain my captain which is something
Tech knite said at his party in episode
six Oh
Captain My
Captain this was a quote from the Walt
womman poem and originally we thought it
was a jab at Miz Marvel in the Marvels
Oh Captain My Captain however the poem
itself was written as a metaphor of
expressing grief over the loss of a
president the ship's Captain who died
was supposed to represent the death of
Abraham Lincoln in so it has a symbolic
tide of the episode we also see
homelander going with Sage's original
plan she wanted him to act like Caesar
who swooped in to save the day and
homelander is now going to apply this to
the chaos seven boardroom has basically
turned into a conspiracy Council on
something like Game of Thrones rushing
to a homelander keeps his V it builds
off the back of her catching a train
getting it from earlier in the season
what happens with her becomes a big
mystery with us not getting an answer to
the transformation however we do know
she survives because her body's nowhere
to be seen and we return here later on
this thing with Ashley it all kind of
builds off a line from last week when
she said it's it's so easy to become a
monster around
here now this is a far cry from what
happens in the comics as their her
counterpart gets blamed for vs misdeeds
set up by Edgar and used as a py she
ended up tearing her hair out when
things fell apart however here it's
completely left field and for that I
have a left field Theory not going to do
Theory time though so I actually think
the way they've changed the characters
round might highlight what they could do
with her in the book mother's milk was
called mother's milk because his mother
ended up feeding him with her breast
milk which was laced with compound V she
turned into a gigantic monster and was
hidden in Shadows during the comics it
was mysterious everyone who got close
enough to her got grabbed though and
then force-fed milk now the milk thing
got shifted over the homeland's
obsession with mother's milk not having
a twisted mother however I think that
Ashley might end up becoming the monster
and this is how she'll satiate
homelander with hu's Dad we saw how
powers are somewhat manifestations of
people's fears and their psyche so
having her become something to help
homelander stay loyal to her might be a
defense mechanism it's a theory a
probably won't come true don't revisit
this video in 2 years or whatever H but
whatever happens yeah we're going to see
in season 5 or gen V season 2 CU they
might use season 2 as a way to to fill
in the blanks much like how the first
season was used to set up the virus it's
good it's good how they do that either
way we will About That season 2 later on
as well as I think everyone who's
captured here could end up with them now
jumping to New Jersey and going below
the Department of Public Works we catch
singer haul up in an underground safe
house only issue is that the shape shift
is in there with him singer also says if
you'd killed Newman like I ordered we
wouldn't be stuck four stories
underground playing pocket pool it and
this is what's later used by Sage to
expose him if you'd killed Newman like I
ordered we wouldn't be stuck forc
stories underground playing pocket pool
and now we go live right after he says
it here you can also see The Shape
Shifter moving their head like they're
paying attention and obviously they were
stood there recording this moment saying
it's like a furnace in here we see as
Huey remembers The Shape Shifter saying
this at the apartment now what would
have gave it away to me was I'd be like
my girlfriend's not normally this nice
to me mate and yeah something's off
realizing she's been made because Hugh's
Poker Face sucks and milk's doing his
anxiety exercises she goes was all out
to take out the president the slow
opening of the door killed me and it was
in a bunker akin to this that Vic
knocked out Dakota Bob this happened
during 911 and it allowed V to gain
extra powers to send out soups this led
into the plane crash in the comics which
was of course adapted into the show
doing a yard on Kimo the real Annie
arrives to save the day beating the
shifter without resorting to her powers
she's finally accepted that she might
not be the hero now we could to Victoria
panicking and ringing homelander and get
what's probably the most most unhinged R
by him and Victoria if you stray even an
inch of that path I will make sure Zoe
knows nothing but pain for the rest of
her life and I will send you a piece of
her every year for theing rest of yours
there is no
fail to make things worse for Victoria
as well frie sorted the disease out and
he goes off on huie but like you can't
blame him mate he he didn't know it
wasn't you like do you understand how
shaped shifting works now in a desperate
move Victoria Rings huie offering to
resign without a fight and return for
Safe Harbor turns out Samir has been in
touch with her and we know she knows
that he cut off his leg and that he
worked on the virus what's happened with
Samir we don't really know but I feel
like he's probably out there with edar
Edgar was saved by Vicki earlier in the
season but we don't know what's
happening with the characters however he
and Samia know each other and it makes
sense that Vicki would hide them out
together with her out the picture and zo
at Red River I think the pair will work
together this save their daughter SLG
granddaughter not Edgar's real daughter
but you know what I mean now I feel like
Samir and Edgar will manufacture the
virus again in order to get revenge on
homelander it's the only thing they know
that can take him down and that's how I
feel like things are going to go Zoe
going to Red River is also the worst
nightmare for Victoria as we learn
that's where she was raised during genv
she told Marie she'd been sponsoring her
because the pair had grown up in similar
circumstances Vicki said she was doing
it also her daughter wouldn't end up
there and in the end the shows all her
work has just cursed her daughter to end
up there now we could across to the
seven Tower and see how worse for where
firecracker is running along in coughing
she has to bust out a gun to take
someone down deep smashes the rider's
head like the like button with him
making him say he respects him before
killing him that's all deep really cares
about and it's the characters ailles
heel he enjoys killing and now does Noir
who's slipping more into character we
learn that the pair weren't invited to
Tech Knight's Party because they weren't
deemed as being needed it's cuz they're
stupid well deep is and Noir doesn't
talk there though deep told the new Noir
that the last one used to get turn on
when killing and finally this one does
too he's made it he's finally fit the
role perfect casting and also like also
like rest in peace Ashley too I miss
you now though everyone else like Ashley
the new Noir they're all becoming
monsters and who doesn't want that to
happen is Huey if we're ever going to
win against Monsters I think we need to
start acting human this is a flip on the
phrase on having to become a monster in
order to fight them and it is something
that they've featured in the show before
butcher now though he's in opposite to
this mind State and it's a nice way to
set up his entrance later on in between
that though Kimo finally confesses her
feelings and she and Frenchie kiss
they've been on a journey apart from
each other this season but have always
ended up coming back together this was
probably the happiest moment in what's
been a pretty diap finale emotionally
and yeah it was nice to see the pair
getting their moment of Happiness before
it was ripped away cuzz you don't
deserve happiness in this world it seems
now back with but and Ryan we see grace
telling him that homelander ordered the
H and singer we do see him kind of being
a bit creepy as he uses his superheroing
to listen to Grace Whispering Grace
though she lays it all out including how
homelander was behind the flight and
also how Ryan was conceived buter then
finally admits they need Ryan to kill
homelander but I do think in the end
they'll use the virus Ryan doing this
will put him on a dark path and I feel
like buter will have to do it in the end
this will be the way to truly Save Ryan
and it'll mean he's taken away from the
influence of his father however he won't
have to become a monster in order to do
it in the end though Grace threatens to
steal them in and flood the room with
gas but Ryan pushes her out the way was
just a little push mate but uh finally
butcher sees that maybe Kesler was right
and he arrives mid meat finally killing
Victoria now I was a bit like I don't
know I think buter having this big worm
thing it's going to be something I'm
going to need to get used to CU in my
head I sort of still view him as how he
is in the comics that he had the powers
of V but all the boys had been injected
with it here the v24 is mutated in him
and this is clearly what's keeping him
alive he's now bulletproof and extremely
powerful making him likely to become a
season five villain again we'll talk
about this later on but there's lots of
things there setting up anyway with
Vicky gone we cut to homelander in his
room watching the report of her death
holding Ryan's bag this will now likely
get added to his comfort box Sage then
comes in revealing that things have
actually went according to plan and
singer has now been ousted she's someone
who's here to once more serve homelander
and this whole thing goes down at the
exact same spot firecracker revealed her
allegiance to him at spray still gets to
be a burst out laughing when I see that
and every time I see it gets it's just
as funny a Vicki's death is blamed on
the boys with them being classified as
deep State starlighter this can easily
be verified as well as her bodyguard was
the witness to her being killed Calhoun
is now in charge of the country as the
president but he's also serving
homelander Sage then leaves and she
announces phase two and yeah I'm very
excited to see where this all goes
Homeland has been given basically full
control and in the end he wants to hunt
down the boys it's sort of akin to the
speech at the end of season 2 and I
thought that we were going to end there
with them on the Run however we actually
see the boys fleeing doesn't last too
long and to a montage crap hits the fan
mother's milk is taken down by love
sausage which yeah guy just can't catch
a break with him season two he had his
run-ins with his dick and herogasm was a
similar sort of thing there's definitely
the idea that there's no escaping board
as we see that goes throughout the
bathroom on the dryer and the sub
dispenser Kate uses her powers to get
Frenchie to get in the van and Kimo
finally speaks out after getting beat by
Sam it's a great way to take the
character as this season centered a lot
around her being a mute it helps to
highlight how devastating this is and
yeah what a gut punch of an ending the
only person who manages to escape is
staright and she flees before Cindy can
get her Cindy of course comes from
season 2 and what happened to her was a
big thing hanging over the series what's
likely happened though is A's now
working for vard as Homeland has been
happy to recruit the undesirables love
sausage was at Sage Grove as well and we
see how these have been brought into the
ranks Simon K2 they were bad people but
homelanders saw a use for them and thus
they were drafted in we then close out
with butcher driving in his car and
Kesler sat in the back seat looking in
the mirror this is akin to the stand in
which Randall flag did something similar
his move in the work Unleashed a virus
that wiped out most of humanity with
this reflecting what butcher plans to do
after some little credits we learned
Calhoun found out about soja boy and we
catch him sedated in his winter soldier
tank looking down on him Daddy's home
and yeah what a big tease for season 5
now how their relationship's going to be
I'm not 100% as they didn't exactly
leave things on the best terms I do feel
like soldja boy may end up caring for
Ryan but yeah he's not exactly the best
role model either also I can't wait to
see what happens when Kate sees him cuz
they had that big scene with him and
geny in her mind which was very crazy
still though we now have several
character characters on board who can
kill homelander I also feel like a train
staright Ashley and even Ma they're all
people out there who could unite and
come together for season five I feel
like the boys might be locked up with
the Guardians from gen V and that season
2 might even have them working together
starlight's obviously going to be
desperately looking for Huey and if she
teams up with the other soups there'll
be a massive help Ashley obviously knows
the ins and outs of the company and is
probably aware of where the genv crew
are I do wonder if genv sees in two will
be about them taking down Sam and Cade
and then that could lead into the main
season I feel like Edgar and Samir might
join them too as we got a big actor for
the ladder that they didn't utilize
massively yet so I think he'll play a
bigger role in season 5 for the next
part of the video I am going to be
spoiling the comics so if you don't want
to know then all you have to do is hit
the thumbs up and then close out the
video huge thank you again though for
all you guys following us on our boys
breakdowns I know that for a lot of you
this is how you found the channel so I
really appreciate you sticking with me
also shout out to the boy social media
team as well best social media team for
a show by far and it's been a right
laugh watching the stuff they've posted
right after the episodes so yeah go give
them a follow they keep you up to date
on things during the seasons and yeah JY
season 2 coming soon now in the comics
Homeland is killed after invading the
White House with bought unleashing black
noir on him turns out he was a clone of
homelander who'd been cred to take him
down in case the character went rogue
and this led us into the final Arc in
which butcher was the main villain he
killed all of the boys except for huge
and then went to the top of the Empire
States Building planning to unleash a
radio signal that triggered the V within
a soups this had a reaction that would
cause their heads to explode I think the
virus is obviously aked the disease and
they can easily turn butcher into a
villain now in the comics huy went up
there and managed to stop him before he
went too far in his dying breath he
thanked huie and was grateful the
character stopped him from committing
genocide huie is someone who'd been his
Canary and stopped him from being his
worst self this is something they
brought up in the show too when they
discussed Lenny so I think something
similar is going to happen but butcher
is going to have to fight off Kesler in
his mind and the tentacles inside of him
I feel like they're going to shoot out
like in my head I'm viewing it like the
tentacles shoot out they wrap around
Huey and then butcher will have to fight
and overcome them you know you know
those sorts of scenes now as we
mentioned before I think this will be
all going down at that Nevada Steakhouse
which I feel like butcher is driving
towards the Empire State Building is
going to be a hard place to get in film
at Mat yeah something like that makes
more sense budget wise even the seven
Tower would work though but I feel like
that story was brought up for a reason
this is where Billy wanted to go with
Lenny and hu is of course a standing for
him so I think this will bring things
full circle from the story and of course
let me know all your theories below
anyway that's our video and our coverage
of season 4 I will be doing s a video on
some unanswered questions I think just
theorizing stuff but yeah as far as the
main coverage goes that's that's your
