[Ryan and Homelander meet up at the now-abandoned VoughtLand building]
Do you remember when you took me here? Pretended to care about me?
I do care about you, son. I love you.
[pause] I need to ask you–
For my forgiveness? You already have it.
What?
Okay, let me finish. I put too much pressure on you to fill my boots. And–And I realize now that, uh... Well, that–that was impossible. But I do have some pretty exciting news. I am going to live forever now. I'll realize my own legacy. And you... [scoffs] you're off the hook. You can do whatever–
Did you do it? Did you rapе my mom?
What?! Of course not. Who told you–Did William Butcher tell you that? Your mother and I, we had an affair. A consensual affair between two adults.
Your heart's racing.
Well, yeah, because I'm shocked. And–And frankly, my heart's breaking a little bit that you could think I would do something like that–
[Ryan lasers Homelander, leaving a visible wound near his chest]
Ryan... Ryan, stop!
[Ryan lunges at Homelander and shoves him against the wall. Homelander ducks below Ryan's fist to avoid getting punched by him.]
Ryan! I don't know where this is coming from, because your mother… She came on to me.
[Ryan punches Homelander twice and tries to laser him again. Homelander quickly dodges him.]
Ryan! Son... [moves away to avoid another punch] Ryan! Ryan, buddy... Look what came out of it: My son! A blessing! [Ryan attacks him again] Hey, hey! Stop!
[Ryan readies another laser, which gets redirected when Homelander grabs his face. He punches Homelander in the face again, but Homelander gets the upper hand and slams Ryan several times into a box. Homelander wipes blood away from his nose as Ryan whimpers in pain.]
Oh, Ryan... Dammit. Look at what you made me do. [pause; kneels down to restrain Ryan] Shh... Shh, shh, shh. Hey... It's okay. My sweet, sweet boy.
[Homelander proceeds to punch Ryan repeatedly in the face until he is beaten nearly to death]
