Who the fuck is that?
Günter Van Ellis. World's richest man. Seventeen children. Amateur astronaut.
So?
Well, he represents a consortium of billionaires, and they have a few requests.
I don't have time for this.
Well, they are the ruling class of America. To build your church, we'll need their support.
Is he a believer? Are any of them? Or are they just scared of me?
Even Thomas doubted. With enough time, the gentlest water can wear down any stone. Patience.
Wherever you're going, get there faster.
I believe we should consider postponing.
Out of the question.
You saw Butcher's lab. If he managed to figure out Soldier Boy's blast, or if there were even the slightest chance that he might render you powerless…
You think I'm afraid of William Butcher?
No. No, of course not. [laughing] Of course not. And we've taken the necessary precautions. We moved the venue here. We just don't want any distractions on your blessed day. And it will give me more time to do what I do best: Convert more souls to your righteous banner.
[The Deep notices Homelander as he walks by]
Your Eminence? [Homelander sighs]
Not now, Deep.
Not your call, Prophet Brohammad. [to Homelander] Look, you don't need The Seven anymore? Genius move, as always, but I've been thinking. What you do need is a Crusader. Yeah, like one of those yoked knights from the olden days. Crack some skulls, lay down your holy law.
[Homelander just lets out an exasperated sigh and leaves. He sees Günther and takes him outside.]
Where did you learn about the Crusades?
The Bible. Ever heard of it?
It's not in the Bible. Uh, let me guess. Indiana Jones?
What? No, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
[Homelander grabs Günther and flies up with him]
That's not a documentary.
No shit, Sherlock.
[They see Homelander return without Günther. Oh Father looks shocked and confused as Homelander walks back inside.]
What did you...?
He's an astronaut. I took him to space. Now, listen to me. I don't need anyone anymore. I don't need billionaires–
I couldn't agree more, sir.
[turns to look at The Deep] And I don't need perverted fish fuckers who debase themselves endlessly for mere drops of my affection.
Is that what you think of me?
Since the day we met. I have never had less respect for anyone in my life. In fact, Kevin, the only reason that I haven't fucking killed you is that I want you to feel deep in your heart how truly worthless you really are. [smiles and sighs happily; to Oh Father] Are the psychics in place?
Nationwide.
Good. The second the live broadcast is over, I want the wheat separated from the chaff. Those who don't accept my truth will be the first to burn in my holy fire. Smile, Father. One way or another, it's gonna be a beautiful day.
