00:06The thrusters are dead. We are getting sucked into the black hole. It's over.
00:11Hang in there. I'm booting up the backup power. Nothing can happen to the Gene Archive.
00:25There's no escape. Transfer all power to the core pod. Get ready to eject it.
00:43Here we go.
00:44I don't know.
01:18The hull. The gravity. How did you do that? What are you?
01:23Someone who refuses to accept this ending.
01:29What are you doing?
01:31To rewrite your ending.
01:50Sector 4? But this was three years ago.
02:30Sector 4?
02:32Sector 4?
02:36Sector 4?
02:42Sector 5?
02:44Sector 5?
03:00Evelyn, look at me. It's really you. You're alive. You're really alive. I thought I lost
03:05you forever. Lyra, what are you doing here? No, no. Listen to me. We made it. You're
03:12alive. What happened to you? I will never let you die again. You didn't just destroy
03:24that thing. You reversed time. Who the hell are you? I'm asking you, what the hell
03:40are you? I'm the one giving you a choice. Keep that gun on me and Jace dies in 2 minutes
03:5014 seconds. Jace, no, he's at the 7th line. He's been ambushed. Save him now or watch
04:03him die. Jace!
04:26Jace, look at me. Please stay with me. Lyra? Is it really you? I saved him. But if you
04:41shed one tear for him, I will finish what those monsters started. The dark energy
04:49is spreading. We have to get him to the Sector 7 underground bunker. But he's too heavy.
04:53me. Lead the way. Target locked. Lyra, purge protocol activated.
05:22The pod's slowing it down. But only temporarily. We need a military grade quantum battery. Otherwise
05:29he dies in two hours. That mech out's outside. Its target is you. You change the timeline.
05:42It'll be waiting at the armory. Then I'll kill it first.
05:53Don't ever touch me like that again. Monomolecular wire. You'd already be in pieces.
06:10Blue first. Otherwise you trigger the alarm. Just like you did at Outpost 3. How do you
06:17know about Outpost 3? Nobody survived except me and Jake. Because I watched you die there.
06:22Over and over again. Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood? What the hell are you? Take the battery. Be ready to move.
07:13Move.
07:28You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move.
07:33Laya. The bunker shield is failing. There's another reaper. Another one.
07:40It's a trap. Fall back.
07:45Jace doesn't have time for that. I'm going through.
08:03The shield is breaking. Drop it. We need cover. Run. I'll buy you time. I don't leave useful assets behind
08:11to die. Move.
08:24Evelyn. Two minutes out. Open the gate.
08:27Lyra. The pod's crashing. And there's something in the background.
08:32Go!
08:36God!
08:38God!
08:45God!
08:47God!
08:49God!
08:54God!
09:05They're getting in!
09:41Plug it in.
09:56Erase.
10:10That's Arc One.
10:19Liar, this world is a comic book.
10:24A comic book?
10:26What are you talking about?
10:27Have you lost your mind?
10:28Who exactly are you?
10:30A reader.
10:32Someone who watched you die a billion times, Lyra.
10:35This is the first time I can actually touch you.
10:51Save the crazy talk.
10:52I need your firepower.
10:55I need your firepower alive.
11:02Evelyn!
11:03What are you doing?!
11:09Correcting an era, Lyra.
11:15You were supposed to die on Arc One, sweetie.
11:20You're ruining the story.
11:23Shut up!
11:24Don't you dare use her voice!
11:50Get up!
11:51I don't have time to die here, and you're not dragging me down!
12:07It's the Reaper's poison.
12:08You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:15Then save me, or I'll take you with me.
12:27My blood is the only cure.
12:30It'll make you more.
12:31It'll make you faster, stronger.
12:33But it comes with a leash.
12:44Once you taste it, you belong to the script.
13:14The gift isn't free, Lyra.
13:17My heart stops, yours stops.
13:20My pain, your pain.
13:23Bad luck, Lyra.
13:26You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:33What is this?
13:35A hallucination?
13:38No.
13:39Rendering failure.
13:40She's deleting this panel.
13:48Lyra.
13:49You were never supposed to see this.
13:52Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:05Stop following the rules.
14:07In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:14You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:29I knew it!
14:30You can't afford to let him die!
14:33If he's in pain, the whole world glitches!
14:39If this is just a play, then I'm walking off the stage.
15:00Now tell me.
15:02Who are you?
15:03No more reader bullshit.
15:05Give me a name I can actually understand.
15:16You can call me Aureal.
15:21Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra.
15:35And I am a man to get a fight.
15:38What happened to the real wasteland?
15:40And I'm going to get a fight.
15:46I'm going to get a fight.
15:51No more!
15:52And I'm going to get a fight.
15:54Don't bleed out.
15:56I need you functional.
15:57I need you functional.
16:39Control your heartbeat. You're distracting me.
16:43Then cut it out Lyra.
16:45Because as long as we're tethered, every time you touch yourself, I feel it.
16:51So tell me, how do you expect me to calm down?
17:03Pain is a great way to kill a distraction. Welcome to my world, Aureole.
17:14The agent is patching the system. She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:21So what's her plan B?
17:23Narrative correction. She's sending a reset switch.
17:44Anomaly detected. Target Lyra. Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:10Target locked.
18:11Target locked.
18:24ClTrafficer.
18:30Step away from him.
18:32now
18:35he's aim is the starter
18:37he is the reset trigger
18:40one touch
18:43and you're dead again
18:49Lila

20:04good
20:05the virus can't run on dead hosts

20:31Jace tore his own arm off
20:34he was crying
20:36you said this is a comic book
20:38a script
20:39so his tears
20:41was it all just ink on a page
20:43is this a joke to you
20:45watching us bleed
20:47watching us scream
20:48while you readers just
20:50turn the page
20:59does this feel fake to you
21:01in a billion timelines
21:03you're the only one who didn't surrender
21:05you fought
21:06you fought
21:07you bled
21:08you killed
21:09I didn't come here to watch a drawing
21:12Lila
21:12I came for you
21:23the mark
21:24it burns
21:35it's not the proxy
21:37something else found us
21:39you're the only one who died
21:41you're the only one who died
21:42you're the only one who died
21:43you're the only one who died
21:48you're the only one who died

22:01you're the only one who died
22:02you're the only one who died
22:06you're the only one who died
22:27It hurts, Lila.
22:30Why do we always have to die?
22:34Every single time.
22:46Who are you?
22:47What are you?
22:48I am you.
22:51Who died a billion times.
22:58Is this another trick?
23:00Another simulation?
23:03Answer me.
23:04Answer me.
23:13So I'm supposed to fear this?
23:15My own pain?
23:20The system can wipe the files, but it can't erase the phantom pain.
23:26This is the weight, is the weight of your a billion deaths.
23:31In these billion deaths, you've been crying, haven't you?
23:40Give it back to me!
23:47Fatal error.
23:50Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:53Initiating physical purge.
24:12You didn't just destroy that thing, you reversed time!
24:16Tell the system.
24:17The purge is cancelled.
24:29You rewrote your own code.
24:33Can you walk?
24:34I'm going back to Sector 7.
24:36To kill Evelyn?
24:38No.
24:39To ask her who wrote this script.
24:43And then, I'm going to find the author.
24:57Keep up.
24:59The proxy is hardwired to the core.
25:01She won't talk.
25:02I'll make her.
25:25Unauthorized access.
25:34Who wrote this script?
25:35Give me a name.
25:44You want to find the author, Lyra?
25:47Ask the man behind you.
25:51Ask him who created your hell.
26:01You wrote this.
26:03You drew the Reapers.
26:05You scripted Evelyn to wear my mother's face.
26:08Lyra.
26:12Is it fun, Orion?
26:14Playing God with our lives.
26:16Does it turn you on to watch us bleed?
26:18Ten billion times.
26:19You sat up there flipping the pages while I was torn apart in the dark.
26:23And now you drop down here playing the fucking hero?
26:26To play the victim?
26:28I was the author.
26:30But I burned the script for you.
26:33I fell into this cage to be with you.
26:35You want to be with me.
26:37You want to feel what I feel.
26:49You played God with my life fine.
26:51From now on, I am God.
26:54As you wish.
26:56My God.
26:57Author privileges completely overvidered.
27:00Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:02World weish in progress.
27:04World weish in progress.
27:08Protocol blank canvas.
27:11Initiated.
27:11Formatning sector 7.
27:16Stand up.
27:26Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orion.
27:29Kill them all.
27:34As you command.
27:56Use the pain.
28:09The physics engine is breaking.
28:12Gravity is about to flip.
28:19Then let's fall upwards.
28:47Let's fall upwards.
28:53Sloppy. You let it touch you.
29:00Punish me later.
29:04Brace for impact.
29:15The system rewrit the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:20A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:29Deploying Ultimate Anchor. Eradicate the anomalies.
29:38Targets locked.
30:06He is a dead node. End him.
30:10I don't need your permission to decide who gets to live.
30:23Wake up, Jace! Fight the code!
30:30We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins. Help me tear this out.
30:34If my life is a script, then I choose how it ends!
30:40Jake!
30:45No!
30:46No!
30:46No!
30:47No!
30:52No!
30:55No!
30:58No!
31:01No!
31:30We have a tower to climb
31:33Gravity's gone to hell, we have to jump through the debris
31:42Then jump
31:48Warning, Una-authorized heat approaching the core, accelerating deletion
32:09Hold on
32:11Hold on
32:33It's hard code, brute force won't dent this, it needs an administrator's signature
32:40Then sign it
32:53You have made a mess of my publication, Orion
32:59You were the architect, Orion
33:01You held the pen, now look at you
33:05A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash
33:08How pathetic
33:10It's better than sitting in the dark with you
33:14Writing fake tears
33:21So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths
33:24Your writing is absolute garbage
33:28Delete
33:30You love her pain so much, Orion, fine
33:33But she
33:35Won't remember you
33:58Memory wipe
33:59Enjoy your new genre, Lyra
34:01A perfect, painless utopia
34:04A perfect, painless utopia
34:06Memory wipe
34:13Laia, don't close your eyes.
34:24Good morning, sweetie. Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride.
34:29Morning, Mom. I slept great, but my wrist feels weird.
34:36It looks perfect, Lyra. Not a single blemish.
34:39Yeah, it's just... it feels too light. Like I forgot to put on a watch or something.
34:45Look at you. Flawless. Jace is going to lose mind when he sees you.
34:59Lyla, what are you doing? You're ruining the skin.
35:02I don't know. It just itches.
35:04It feels like something heavy is supposed to be there.
35:11What are you doing here?
35:31You look perfect.
35:34Thanks. This place is intense.
35:49I have the patch. It'll vanish in one second.
35:58No marks. That's much better.
36:03I need some air. I'm walking back.
36:13Lyra.
36:15Why can't I?
36:30Why can't I?
36:34Why can't I?
36:38Why can't I?

37:08Proust. You're probably dehydrated. Stay put. I'll go grab some water. Who are you?
37:15Why, why can I feel your pain? It's just a show. Go home.

40:33citizen please remain calm emotional anomalies are temporary
40:38and
40:56so
41:13This exceeds standard anomaly parameters.
41:18She is not supposed to remember how to fight.
41:23She just stopped caring about your perfect script.
41:28Final phase initiated. Execute.
42:13Security breach. Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:21Let go. Please.
42:34I was the author.
42:36Pyra!
42:46You wrote me a billion deaths.
42:50And I witnessed every single one.
42:54Don't die. I'm not done with you yet.
42:57As you command, my God.
43:09You're bleeding.
43:11Don't.
43:16Anomaly restored.
43:18You put me in a box.
43:20You put him on a cross.
43:22Now I erase yourself.
43:31Your mistake was keeping us both alive.
43:42Combat capability exceeds all parameters.
43:46Full suppression.
43:49Here's the only parameter.
44:01You wore my mother's face.
44:04She was a skin for the proxy.
44:06Nothing more.
44:09She was more real than you.
44:19There she is.
44:22We're not done.
44:42There's a hole in my page.
44:49He's burned his core for you.
44:51Jace burned his battery for you.
44:54Evelyn is in pieces because of you.
44:56And for what?
44:57If you're going to wipe me, get it over with.
44:59Wipe you?
44:59No.
45:00You I'm keeping.
45:02The author's pet gets a special ending.
45:17Well, shit.
45:22Shit.
45:29You tore a hole in his page.
45:31He can't undo that.
45:32Why isn't he chasing us?
45:35Because it's not his page anymore.
45:37It's yours.
45:39We're going down.
45:40Now.
45:57There's something down here.
46:01I see it.
46:02That's from the Ark.
46:04The gene bank you grabbed.
46:07It's real.
46:09That's where we're heading.
46:11That shouldn't be there.
46:33Cut the link.
46:35What?
46:37The wipe is hitting me.
46:39If we stay connected, it'll take you too.
46:43So what?
46:45So cut it loose.
46:47Take the gene bank.
46:49Get out.
46:51You got this far on your own.
46:54You don't need it now.
46:57You came into this page for me.
47:00You burned your core for me.
47:04So don't you dare tell me to leave you behind.
47:15All right.
47:18Together.
47:19Together.
47:28It's going to hold.
47:31I know.
47:38It's stopped.
47:41The gene bank.
47:46It was never loaded into his system.
47:51I designed the Ark outside the comics database.
47:57He can't touch anything from there.
48:00Then we stay in the light.
48:05It's pulling the real world towards us.
48:07Using the gene bank as an anchor.
48:09How long?
48:11Longer than we have.
48:19That object is not in the database.
48:24Where did you get it?
48:26He's going to throw everything he has left.
48:28The whole system.
48:30Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:41You built this world.
48:44You know how to break it.
48:47I don't have a core anymore.
48:49You gave me your blood once.
48:51Now give me whatever you have left.
48:58It's not enough.
49:03Then we give it everything.
49:06That's not part of the story.
49:13He's not stopping.
49:17Neither are we.
49:21This isn't enough.
49:23Not even close.
49:24I don't have a core.
49:26I can't give you the kind of power that breaks a page.
49:29You built this world.
49:31You built the tether.
49:32You said it binds everything.
49:34So bind this.
49:36Not blood to blood.
49:38Power to power.
49:39If I push what's left of my blood into the tether.
49:42And you push your dark energy in from the other end at the same time.
49:46Or they make something new.
49:59Now you.
50:09That can't.
50:11That power doesn't.
50:19We're close.
50:23If I can't have this world.
50:26No one can.
50:29Page zero.
50:46It didn't work.
50:48Not yet.
50:53Take the gene bank.
50:55The green light can still get you through.
50:58Say that again.
51:05The crack is still there.
51:08I can't do this alone.
51:31Go.
51:33We go together.
51:37Hold on.
51:38Not letting go.
51:41No.
51:44No.
51:46No.
51:47No.
51:50No.
51:52No.
51:54No.
51:57No.
52:00No.
52:28Still staring at it.
52:30Third week on the list.
52:37I sketched this out before we even moved in.
52:43So either I made it all up, or it already happened.
52:49You're here. I'm here.
53:01The Arc 1 final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous event.
53:37The Arc 1 final transmission.
53:38The Arc 1 final transmission.
53:47Say it.
53:49My god.
53:51Kiss me.
53:53Come on.
54:08You're here.
54:21The Arc 2 final transmission.
54:23No.
54:25No.
54:41Is it true that you based Orion on someone real?
54:51Something like that.
55:06What do you want me to write?
55:09You know.
55:23What do you want me to write?
55:40What do you want me to write?
55:47What do you want me to write?
55:48What do you want me to write?
