We Gotta Go Now

The series has received a positive critical reception.[5]^[6][7]

In a Vought-American warehouse, the corporation is revealed to be stocking up on

As Hughie takes a break from his undercover operation for a date with Annie, the Frenchman and the Female listen to their surveillance as John Godolkin announces the day's brunch to begin, and the G-Man Critter privately poses the question to the other members of the original team as to the reason for even having new G-Men, pointing out that with there being eight to nine teams at present, that with the more teams set up to expand the franchise, the worse their security will get, and the greater chance someone will say let slip "saying something, about whatever [or] venting", the teams arguing over the various team rivalries over the rest of the day. Meanwhile, on their date, Hughie and Annie have sex outside in the grass, before talking about their respective lives with the Boys and the Seven, and their personal lives beyond that, both leaving out the details about what their actual careers are (presenting themselves respectively as an insurance investigator and a choir member). In Cranbrook, Mother's Milk tracks down Wilhelm Wilhelm, the brother of "Uncle Paul", while as Butcher has his dog Terror hunt down a cat for fun, he is shocked at what he finds on Kessler's hard drive about the G-Men, punching out his computer screen.^[7][12]

Wilhelm reveals that his brother Paul had killed himself after Wilhelm's daughter Grace had been abducted as a child while Paul had been buying her

John Godolkin calls the Guy From Vought asking that more effort be put into the resurrection method for Nubia, responding that "I just want her back." as the Guy From Vought insists the process "simply doesn't work, not is it ever likely to"; on overhearing children on Godolkin's end, the Guy From Vought realises Godolkin is training up another "Pre-Wiz" of junior G-Men against recommendation, before hanging up. On finding his assistant Jennifer sent up surveillance confirming Hughie's undercover operation an hour earlier, the Guy From Vought fires her. In spite of being asked to cease operations, Hughie decides to attend Silver Kincaid's memorial and the unveiling of her statue, attempting to prevent the G-Wiz class from joining the G-Men on seeing how miserable they are at heart with the concept. The Guy From Vought then calls Mr. Edgar over Hughie's infiltration, informing him that while he had informed Godolkin of it, Godolkin had decided not to act not to expell Hughie in lieu of having something down to him, and insisting the resurrection method also be attempted on Silver Kincaid, the Guy From Vought insisting that "the time has come to act", and that in place of revenue, "With the greatest possible respect, you should be thinking about survival." As night falls, Godolkin has the G-Wiz team drive Hughie outside to kill him, and after failing to talk them down, Hughie allows the Frenchman and the Female to kill them all but for Jamal and Cory (left comatose), whom Butcher and Mother's Milk arrive to help interrogate. Meanwhile, inside the G-Mansion, Divine, a telepath, notices his communication was cut off to Cory, shortly before sensing him entering a coma. After Mother's Milk lays out all he has uncovered about the history of the G-Men (all being abducted children instead of orphans as the official story claims), Butcher insists Jamal fill in the gaps about their origin lest he have Hughie slit his throat.^[14][15]

As Mr. Wayne reviews the minutes for the meeting decades prior where (with Mr. Edgar and Mr. Neiman) he first learned the truth about the G-Men, before granting approval for the Guy From Vought (revealed to be named "Stillwell") to put a "blank check" aside for "containment", in the grounds outside the G-Mansion, Jamal confirms the truth about G-Men recruitment to the Boys: they were taken as children by John Godolkin, given superpowers with Compound V, and given everything they asked for (but being allowed to leave) to encourage them to stay, as Godolkin would sexually abuse them as children as part of instilling loyalty to the G-Men brand over time, with those who attempted to leave (including Nubia) being taken out by Silver Kincaid. Before Jamal can say more, he is suddenly killed by Europo who had teleported behind him, exclaiming that "silence is golden". The Boys turn to see every G-Team assembled in front of the G-Mansion lawn, prepared to engage them in combat. Enraged, Hughie elects to take them on himself in a suicide mission, followed by Mother's Milk, the Female, the Frenchman, and then, reluctantly, Butcher, the latter noting that "Worse ways to go than slaughterin' twats like these". Suddenly, before the Boys and the G-Men can engage, the Guy From Vought arrives in-helicopter with a team of Red River operatives and massacres the G-Men himself, burning them alive. Standing before a dumbfounded Butcher, staring him in the eye, the Guy From Vought tells him "Just so you know. We can clean up our own shit." before leaving.^[16]

In the grim aftermath of the Guy From Vought's display of power, the Guy From Vought

Characters from We Gotta Go Now were also adapted to the third season of The Boys, with Jasmin Husain portraying Silver Kincaid, and the animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical, with Aisha Tyler voicing Nubia, and John DiMaggio voicing Groundhawk.^[32]
