[sees Mallory whispering to Butcher] You know I can hear you. Marvin said there was an attempt on Singer’s life. He survived.
We know. There’s just some things you don’t gotta worry about. That’s all.
They’re gonna try again, and that virus is a Hail Mary at best. We are out of time and out of better options. Ryan needs to know the truth.
And we’ll get there.
What truth?
The assassination attempt, it was on your father’s orders.
What?
And Flight 37… Homelander killed every soul on board.
Grace…
You’re lying.
We have it on video, and he’s murdered countless more. Your father isn’t who you think he is…
Just stop.
…and he wasn’t having an affair with your mother.
Grace!
He raped her!
[beat; sighs] I’m sorry, son.
And? Your heart’s pounding. There’s something you’re not telling me.
And you’re the only one who can stop him.
S–Stop him? Like, kill him? No. No, I can’t. Don’t ask me to!
Ryan, you’re strong.
He’s stronger!
We’ll train you. Get you ready.
So this is why you want me to go with you? So you can teach me how to kill my dad?! [brief pause] I have to go.
No, just stay. We’ll talk it out together.
I don’t wanna talk. I’ll be back. I–I just need to think.
Listen, Ryan. There ain’t gonna be another time for you and me, alright? Let’s just take a breather, yeah?
You can’t leave.
[pause] Wait… These walls are six feet thick.
This is the CIA’s Hazlet safe house. Designed to hold people like you. I could seal us in here, flood the room with halothane. And we all take a nice, long nap. But I don’t want to do that, kiddo.
You planned this. All along, you–you brought me here to trap me!
No, no. We brought you here to help you.
You’re locking me in a cage unless I agree to be your weapon! Just like they did to my dad.
That ain’t the way it is. Honest.
Let me go.
Ryan… When I lost my grandkids, it left this big empty black hole inside me. And then the greatest miracle came along: You. [pause] I love you, kiddo. Please.
Aunt Grace… I wanna leave.
I'm sorry. [reaches for a red button behind her]
Get out of my way.
Grace…
I’m sorry.
[Ryan throws Mallory hard against the wall, killing her. Butcher approaches her body and grieves over her when Ryan leaves. Butcher looks up and sees Kessler standing over him. They stare at each other knowingly and Butcher winks at him.]
