[The Legend leads Homelander inside the Boys' hideout, which is deserted]
Okay, um...
No one here.
I grant you, it–it looks like that, yeah. But this–this is their hideout, so I'm sure there's plenty of clues all over here. [picks up a receipt] Here you go. [Homelander sighs] Oh, no. Well, this is nothing. But, you know, they have to have left something behind, you know?
[looks at the receipt; chuckles] Hmmph. It's not nothing.
It's a Taco Bell receipt.
No, this is Sage! Taunting me!
Okay.
[laughs frustratingly; sits on bed] This makes no sense. This makes no sense. This makes no sense! [chuckles] You said I would get the V1. You said I'd be a god. Did I do something wrong? Did I fail you? I did everything you asked me to. I gave my boy up. Please, don't leave me here to just rot. Don't just let me become nothing like him. Please…
[beat] I gotta assume… The only reason you're saying all this stuff is, you're... You're not gonna let me walk out of here alive, are you? Yeah? Okay. Yeah. [pause] Alright, look, kid. I've been around a long time and I… This is just how it goes. You know all those old Supes at the home? Every one of them had their moments in the sun and they all thought it was gonna go on forever. And every one of them got shoved out in the end. They all got shoved out. All of them. And I know what I'm talking about; I did the shoving. I mean, look at Goldie. One minute, she's on the set of Undercover Geisha, getting finger-popped by Lorenzo Lamas. The next, she's shilling for VoughtAlert necklaces and Activia poop yogurt.
Geisha sells VoughtAlert necklaces?
Guess you don't watch your own news channel. The point is, look, there comes a day… I got shoved out, too. Never saw it coming. Did not see that coming, and I fought it like hell. But in the end... bupkis. There is a natural order to things. And the more you fight the inevitable, the more the inevitable just… cunt-punts you. [pats Homelander's shoulder] Yep.
[beat; gets up] You're not scared of me.
No, I'm not scared of you. I… I feel for you, kid. I do. I mean, you're a fucking whackjob. But, you know, there's talent. So… No surprise there. [pause] So, there you go. Do what you gotta do.
[sighs] ...You can go.
I–I can go?
[quickly] Leave. No words. Just go. Now. Go. [brief pause] Now.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[After The Legend leaves, Homelander makes a call to Crime Analytics on his cell phone]
How can I help you, sir?
I need the tracking coordinates for a VoughtAlert necklace.
