Did you hear about the mayor of Baltimore?
…Yeah. Yeah, heard his plane went down. Some sort of engine trouble.
Yeah, it's awful. I saw him on Tuesday. I had a meeting with him right here.
Wow. Well, hug your kids, right? 'Cause you never know what might happen.
So true. You know what's interesting? The Deep told me–and only me–that there were scorch marks on the mayor's engine. Almost as if from two small, high-intensity beams roughly the width of human eyes.
Say what you mean to say.
Your brand is hope, baseball, America, sunshine. You don't do vengeance.
Madelyn, I heard him through the wall. He was blackmailing you.
I am the last person you need to save.
Yeah, but I did it for you!
I know, but did the timing occur to you? I have half the Senate Appropriations Committee coming tonight.
[Homelander scoffs and chuckles in disbelief for a moment, then sits down]
[beat] How did he even know about Compound V?
We are not going to talk about that.
Oh, come on, Madelyn. You do not need to hide things from me. I love Vought as much as you do, and I can do more.
You can do more? You've already grossed $12.3 billion for us.
Right. So the pricks on 82 can take all the fucking credit? Empty fucking suits with Cornell degrees? Come on! I'm the one who's out there, not them! I'm the one who–who knows the audience. Who knows what's good for this company!
I know. I hear you, I do. But what I need right now is I need you to charm the shit out of those congressmen.
[glares at Stillwell] Right. 'Cause that's all I'm good for, huh? Smile, look pretty, say my lines. Whoop, whoop, whoop.
No, no. You just need to let me protect you.
Oh, you're gonna protect me?
Mmm-hmm. [pause; touches Homelander's cheek] Gods are pure… and they're perfect. And they're above it all. And they need to stay that way.
