What Makes Him Pure Evil[]
- He stalked Jennifer for years after he gained an obsession with her, and then proceeded to murder her husband Russell and her parents who just happened to be there out of sheer jealousy.
- He then attempts to kill Jennifer, causing her to run out the house and develop amnesia after getting hit by a car in the road. He then takes advantage of Jennifer's amnesia, and steals Russell's identity and acts like Russell is taking her to the hospital.
- After taking Jennifer to the hospital, Ryan then photoshops himself on all of the pictures of Russell and Jennifer together, in order to manipulate Jennifer into thinking he is her husband.
- He brutally kills a man after he asked how Jennifer was doing in the hospital, beating the man with a crowbar repeatedly before dragging him into the bushes and snapping his neck.
- After Jennifer finds out about Ryan faking their pictures together, Ryan hits her over the head with a rock to knock her out, and chains her to his bed so he can rape her later on.
- When it seems like he is about to get pulled over by police officers, he hides a knife in case he needs to kill them in order to escape.
- After one of the detectives, named Detective Frank Page arrives at the house to try and save Jennifer, Ryan knocks him out, and locks him in a freezer, intending to freeze him to death.
- He tries to rape Jennifer after locking Page in the freezer, first by kissing her, then trying to sexually assault her for real, before Jennifer bites him.
- After Jennifer manages to escape, Ryan chases her down and pushes her off a hill, with him attempting to kill her after pulling out a gun, until Page shows up and tackles Ryan before he can shoot her, ending with Jennifer managing to get the gun before Ryan and shooting him dead karmically.
- His excuse for murdering people is extremely petty, as he believes Jennifer is at fault for not reciprocating his "love" for her, when he didn't even make an attempt to gain her affection before Russell did, making his motive a hypocritical one, as well.
