[Homelander and Ryan are standing on the roof of Becca's house]
Your mom ever bring you up here?
No.
Nah, of course not. You see, that is why a boy needs his father. Hey, I think it's time. [brief pause] Yeah. You ready?
Um... ready for what?
To jump.
[pause; nervously looks down at the ground] Wait, you can't be serious. I'm not gonna jump.
Ryan, you're my son. You can fly just like me.
I–I don't want to.
You take a big deep breath, you step off, and your body will just do the rest. It'll just take over.
But I–I can't fly. I'll just fall right off of here and get–
Hey, buddy. You're gonna love it. I promise.
I'm nothing like you. I–I can't fly.
You can. You can. I promise you can.
Dad, please. Please, don't make me jump.
Aw, buddy. You called me Dad. [chuckles]
[Homelander pushes Ryan off the roof. Instead of flying, Ryan falls with a thud on the ground. Becca overhears and runs outside.]
Ryan...? Oh, God, Ryan! Hey! [to Homelander] Hey, what did you do?!
It's fine. It's a twenty-foot drop. Relax.
You inhuman fucking monster! [to Ryan] Come here.
Don't help him up. Let him do it himself.
Come here. Baby, hey. Hey, Ryan, I need you to wake up. Baby, can you hear me? I'm right here. [pause; Ryan is still unconscious] I don't think he's breathing.
[laughing] He's fine!
I don't think he's breathing! I don't think he's–
[wakes up with a gasp] Mom?
Hi, hi.
Look. See, told ya.
Hi, sweetie. Are you hurt? [kisses Ryan on the forehead] Does anything feel broken?
Oh, for God's sake. Broken?
Let me see.
Come on, look at him. There's not a scratch on him. You know why? 'Cause he's my son. And you–you… [scoffs] You're raising him to be a pussy.
You don't get to tell me how to raise my son.
I'm his father.
You don't get to say that after what you did!
What I did to you [grabs Becca's wrist]... was give you a son that you are raising like a little girl.
Let go of me.
He's mine.
Get your hands off of her!
[Ryan pushes Homelander away from Becca. His eyes are glowing and he starts breathing heavily.]
[pause; sits up] Good boy. See, I told you.
[quietly; his eyes return to normal] What?
You're just like me, Ryan.
No, I'm not like you! I'm nothing like you! I FUCKING HATE YOU! LEAVE US ALONE!
