The Bride lays on the ground bloody as Bill walks up. He wipes up some of her blood and sweat with his handkerchief and as she tells him her unborn child is his, he shoots her in the side of the head. Later, Elle Driver walks into The Bride's room, who is comatose, and as she is about to inject her with the poison, Bill calls her and calls off The Bride's assassination. After The Bride regains consciousness and starts to track down and kill members of The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, Bill visits Sofie Fatale in the hospital and she tells Bill, The Bride kept her alive to get information from her and to give her a warning to tell the others that she is coming for the rest of them. Budd tells Bill, The Bride deserves her revenge for what they did to her, while Elle insists she needs to die.

In the past, Beatrix Kiddo hears a flute playing and finds Bill sitting outside the chapel. She asks him how he found her and he flatters her and tells her he is there for one last look. He notices she is pregnant and she tells him about Tommy Plympton and that she works at his used record store. Beatrix takes Bill to meet Tommy and she introduces Bill as her father. Bill comments on Beatrix wearing her wedding dress before the ceremony and its associated bad luck and Tommy tells him he lives dangerously. Tommy invites Bill to dinner and Bill tells Beatrix he will accept her choice. Shortly after, the rest of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad walk into the chapel and kill everyone inside.

Bill tells Budd that Beatrix killed all of the Crazy 88's and O-Ren Ishii while using a Hattori Hanzo sword. Bill asks him if he has continued training and Budd tells him he pawned his Hanzo sword years ago. He tells Bill he now works as a bouncer in a strip club and if Beatrix wants a fight, she just has to go to the club and start one. Bill offers to help Budd, but Budd tells him he deserves what he has coming to him.

In the past again, Bill tells Beatrix the history of Pai Mei and his massacre of a Shaolin temple due to being slighted. He goes on to say how Pai Mei used his five point palm exploding heart technique to kill the monks. He warns her to obey Pai Mei during her training or lose her eye or life. He drops her off at Pai Mei's temple and leaves.

Elle gets a call from Bill and tells him Budd is dead and blames his death on Beatrix who she says she then killed. Elle offers to come over and see Bill and and then hangs up the phone.

Bill admits to B.B. that he was a bad dad and tells B.B. to tell Beatrix about Emilio. B.B. admits she killed Emilio and Bill tries to compare what B.B. did to Emilio to what he did to Beatrix. Bill shoots Beatrix with a truth serum dart he calls "the Undisputed Truth". He tells her about how Superman is unique in that he has to put on a costume to be normal, weak, unsure of himself and a coward, how Superman feels about humans. He tells her she will always be Beatrix and will always be a killer. He starts asking her questions and asks why she left him. She tells him about when he sent her to kill Lisa Wong and how the morning before she found out she was pregnant. She tells Bill once she knew she was going to be a mother, she couldn't do the things she did before. Bill tells her he mourned her because he thought she was dead. He says he overreacted when he found her in El Paso and apologizes. They sword fight and Beatrix hits Bill with the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique. Bill gets up, takes five steps and dies.
