The Final Showdown

Kerry gets taken by Vilem's father. Vilem agrees to meet with him, to trade places with Kerry. His life for his mainline's life.

Hiding in plain sight the whole time...

Dragged down to the basement, they meet at last.

They never checked him for internal weapons. A mistake on their part...

Nickolai likes to hear himself speak, so Vilem lets him. He bides his time...

Nearly there. They hear commotion upstairs. Dino and River cleaning house. Vilem has had enough of the scav boss' voice.

They were dead the moment they laid their hands on him, on Kerry. They just didn't know it yet.

Nickolai is dead, and Kerry is safe.

Vilem leaves alone. He needs to process what's happened.

It's over...yet, he feels...hollow.

Johnny pops in, with some words of encouragement.

Kerry enters the bathroom, and Vilem breaks down, apologizing to Kerry for him having to see him kill, to become a monster.

Kerry reassures Vilem, telling him that the only monster he saw, was the one in the basement who had him kidnapped and was pointing a gun at them all.

Dino joins his two mainlines. The three of them finally admit that they love each other. No more holding back.

Vilem avenged his mother and sister, and saved Kerry. A chapter in his life finally closed. Revenge is bittersweet.
