Short filmTranscript
00:07Thrusters 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.
00:58There's no escape.
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?
01:51But this was three years ago.
02:08I don't know.
02:20I don't know.
02:23I don't know.
02:27I don't know.
02:35I don't know.
02:37I don't know.
02:40I don't know.
02:43I don't know.
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 are
03:40you? 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
04:41you shed one tear for him, I will finish what those monsters started.
04:48The dark energy is spreading. We have to get him to the Sector 7 underground bunker.
04:52But he's too heavy.
04:56Lead the way.
05:03Target 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.
05:35That mech out's outside. Its target is you.
05:40You change the timeline. It'll be waiting at the armory.
05:44Then I'll kill it first.
05:53Don't ever touch me like that again.
05:56Monomolecular wire.
05:59You'd already be in pieces.
06:10Blue first. Otherwise you trigger the alarm. Just like you did at Outpost 3.
06:16How do you know about Outpost 3? Nobody survive except me and Jake.
06:20Because I watched you die there. Over and over again.
06:35Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood? What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery. Be ready to move.
07:29You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move.
07:33Laya. The bunker shield is failing. There's another Reaper.
07:37Another 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.
08:06Run. I'll buy you time.
08:09I don't leave useful assets behind to die. Move.
08:24Evelyn. Two minutes out. Open the gate.
08:27Lyra. The pod's crashing.
08:30And there's something in the background.
08:35Goal!
08:35Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:39Goal!
08:40Goal!
08:41Goal!
09:05They're getting in!
09:16Goal!
09:42Plug it in.
09:58Erase.
10:10That's arc one.
10:14Ew.
10:15A reader.
10:17Someone who watched you die a billion times, Lyra.
10:20This is the first time I can actually touch you.
10:36Save the crazy talk. I need your firepower alive.
10:47Evelyn, what are you doing?
10:54Correcting an era, Lyra.
11:00You were supposed to die on arc one, sweetie.
11:05You're ruining the story.
11:08Shut up! Don't you dare use her voice!
11:35Get up! I don't have time to die here! And you're not dragging me down!
11:52It's the Reaper's poison. You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:00Then save me, or I'll take you with me.
12:12My blood is the only cure. It'll make you faster, stronger.
12:18But it comes with a leash.
12:29Once you taste it, you belong to the script.
12:59The gift isn't free, Lyra.
13:01My heart stops, yours stops.
13:05My pain, your pain.
13:08Bad luck, Lyra.
13:11You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:18What is this?
13:20A hallucination?
13:23No, rendering failure. She's deleting this panel.
13:33Lyra. You were never supposed to see this.
13:37Broken pieces have to be recycled.
13:50Stop following the rules.
13:53In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
13:59You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:14I knew it! You can't afford to let him die!
14:18If he's in pain, the whole world glitches!
14:24If this is just a play, then I'm walking off the stage.
14:45Now tell me. Who are you? No more reader bullshit.
14:50Give me a name I can actually understand.
15:01You can call me Aureole.
15:06Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra.
15:31Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra.
15:40Welcome to the real wasteland.
15:41Don't bleed out.
15:42I need you functional.
16:10Damn it.
16:24Control your heartbeat.
16:26You're distracting me.
16:28Then cut it out, Lyra.
16:30Because as long as we're tethered,
16:32every time you touch yourself,
16:34I feel it.
16:36So tell me,
16:38how do you expect me to calm down?
16:47Pain is a great way to kill a distraction.
16:50Welcome to my world, Oriole.
16:59The agent is patching the system.
17:03She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:06So what's her plan B?
17:09Narrative correction.
17:10She's sending a reset switch.
17:29Anomaly detected.
17:31Target, Lyra.
17:32Initiating timeline reset.
17:46Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
17:55Target locked.
18:15Step away from him.
18:18Now.
18:20He's aim is the starter.
18:22He is the reset trigger.
18:25One touch.
18:29And you're dead again.
18:31Disperse.
18:34Run.
18:35Lyra.
18:35Run.
18:37I can't.
18:39I can't.
18:40I can't.
18:46I can't.
18:47I can't.
18:51Error.
18:52Unauthorized target.
18:56Don't look at him.
18:58Look at me.
18:58I can't.
19:04Lyra.
19:04Take the shot.
19:05Don't let me do this.
19:23Jace.
19:25He's down.
19:26But the grid is tearing apart.
19:28We have to move.
19:47Drop it.
19:48You'll kill us both.
19:49Good.
19:50The virus can't run on dead hosts.
19:55See if a hard reboot works on God.
20:16Jace tore his own arm off.
20:19He was crying.
20:21You said this is a comic book.
20:23A script.
20:24So his tears?
20:26Was it all just ink on a page?
20:28Is this a joke to you?
20:31Watching us bleed?
20:32Watching us scream while you readers just turn the page?
20:45Does this feel fake to you?
20:46In a billion timelines, you're the only one who didn't surrender.
20:50You fought, you fought, you fought, you bled, you killed.
20:55I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra.
20:58I came for you.
20:59I came for you.
21:08The mark!
21:09It burns!
21:20It's not the proxy.
21:22Something else found us.
21:24A
21:25Oh!
21:28Oh!
21:37Oh!
21:43Oh!
22:12It hurts.
22:13Lila, why do we always have to die? Every single time?
22:31Who are you? What are you? I am you, who died a billion times.
22:43Is this another trick? Another simulation? Answer me.
22:57I am you, who died a billion times?
23:18You've been crying, haven't you?
23:26Give it back to me!
23:32Fatal error. Anomaly excludes threshold. Initiating physical purge.
23:58You didn't just destroy that thing, you reversed time!
24:00Tell the system. The purge is cancelled.
24:10Beautiful.
24:15You rewrote your own code.
24:18Can you walk? I'm going back to Sector 7.
24:21To kill Evelyn?
24:23No. To ask her who wrote this script.
24:28And then, I'm going to find the author.
24:41Keep up.
24:44The proxy is hardwired to the core. She won't talk.
24:47I'll make her.
24:51Not on the other now.
25:02The random message is hardwired to the enemy.
25:11The random message is hardwired to the enemy with the enemy.
25:19Who wrote this script? Give me a name.
25:29You want to find the author, Lyra?
25:32Ask the man behind you.
25:36Ask him who created your hell.
25:46You wrote this.
25:48You drew the Reapers.
25:50You scripted Evelyn to wear my mother's face.
25:53Lyra.
25:57Is it fun, Orion?
25:59Playing God with our lives.
26:01Does it turn you on to watch us bleed?
26:03Ten billion times.
26:04You sat up there flipping the pages while I was torn apart in the dark.
26:08And now you drop down here playing the fucking hero?
26:12To play the victim?
26:13I was the author.
26:15But I burned the script for you.
26:18I fell into this cage to be with you.
26:20You want to be with me.
26:22You want to feel what I feel.
26:34You played God with my life fine.
26:36From now on, I am God.
26:39As you wish.
26:41My God.
26:42Author privileges completely over-videred.
26:45Initiating protocol blank canvas.
26:47World weish in progress.
26:49World weish in progress.
26:54Protocol blank canvas initiated.
26:57Formatting sector seven.
27:01World weish in progress.
27:01World weish in progress.
27:02Stand up.
27:10World weish in progress.
27:12Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orion.
27:14Kill them all.
27:19As you command.
27:25You can do that.
27:41Use the pain!
27:54The physics engine is breaking!
27:57Gravity is about to flip!
28:04Then let's fall upwards!
28:39Sloppy! You let it touch you!
28:46Punish me later!
28:50Brace for impact!
29:00The system re-writ the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:04A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:14Deploying ultimate anchor. Eradicate the anomalies.
29:23Targets locked.
29:51He is a dead node. End him.
29:55I don't need your permission to decide who gets to live.
30:08Wake up, Jace! Fight the code!
30:15We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins. Help me tear this out.
30:19If my life is a script...
30:23Then I choose how it ends!
30:25Jake!
30:28Jake!
30:30Jake!
30:32Jake!
30:42Jake!
30:55Jake!
30:58Jake!
30:58Jake!
30:59Jake!
30:59Jake!
31:00Jake!
31:01Jake!
31:15We have a tower to climb.
31:18We have a tower to climb.
31:18Gravity's gone to hell. We have to jump through the debris.
31:27Then jump
31:33Warning
31:34Unauthorized heat approaching the core
31:36Accelerating deletion
31:55Hold on
32:18It's hard code
32:20Brute Force won't dent this
32:22It needs an Administrator's signature
32:25Then sign it
32:38You have made a mess of my publication, Orion
32:45You were the architecture, Oriol
32:47You held the pen
32:48Now look at you
32:50A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash
32:53How pathetic
32:55It's better than sitting in the dark with you
32:58Writing fake tears
33:06So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths
33:09Your writing is absolute garbage
33:13Delete
33:15You love her pain so much, Orion
33:18Fine
33:19But she
33:20Won't remember you
33:43Protocol
33:43Memory wipe
33:45Enjoy your new genre, Lyra
33:47A perfect painless utopia
33:49A perfect painless utopia
33:56Lyra
33:57Don't close your eyes
34:09Good morning, sweetie
34:10Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride
34:15Morning, Mom
34:15I slept great
34:17But my wrist feels weird
34:20But my wrist feels weird
34:21It looks perfect, Lyra
34:23Not a single blemish
34:24Yeah, it's just
34:25It feels too light
34:27Like I forgot to put on a watch or something
34:30Look at you
34:31Flawless
34:32Jace
34:33Jace is going to lose mind
34:34When he sees you
34:44Lyra, what are you doing?
34:46You're ruining the skin
34:46I don't know
34:48It just itches
34:50It feels like something heavy
34:51Is supposed to be there
34:56What are you doing here?
35:16You look perfect
35:19Thanks
35:20This place is intense
35:37I have the patch
35:39It'll vanish in one second
35:43No marks
35:44That's much better
35:48I need some air
35:49I'm walking back
35:57Lyra
36:00Why can't I?
36:16Why can't I?
36:29Lyra
36:29You're zoning out on me
36:40Lyra
36:44Stand up
36:45You're white as a shield
36:47Is the pain in my chest
36:49I can feel his pain
36:51It's a hologram
36:53An art, Proust
36:54You're probably dehydrated
36:55Stay put
36:57I'll go grab some water
36:58Who are you?
37:00Why
37:00Why can I feel
37:02Your pain?
37:04It's just a show
37:05Go home
37:13AMERI
37:23We're
37:24Paige
37:25I'm
37:26I'm
37:53Hey, you shouldn't be here.
37:59Who are you?
38:01It's just an immersive show, miss.
38:04A piece of art.
38:10Go home.
38:11The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:19You're lying.
38:26I'm not.
38:29Just go.
38:30Please.
38:39Please.
38:40Please.
38:45Priest, do you, Lyra, take this man in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?
39:04The dress is stained.
39:06It's ruined.
39:10You're having another episode.
39:13Drink this.
39:15It will fix everything.
39:17What is that?
39:19Medicine.
39:21For your nerves.
39:23Stage 2 discharge initiating.
39:33This wedding.
39:35This dress.
39:36All of it.
39:36It's fake.
39:37He's real.
39:38That pain is real.
39:40You're confused.
39:42Drink the medicine.
39:44Let it pass.
39:46It's fake.
39:50This place.
39:52Lyra, do not walk out of this church.
39:55Watch me.
40:07Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:18Citizen, please remain calm.
40:21Emotional anomalies are temporary.
40:58This exceeds standard anomaly parameters.
41:03She is not supposed to remember how to fight.
41:08She just stopped caring about your perfect script.
41:13Final phase initiated.
41:15Execute.
41:58Security breach.
41:59Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:06Let go.
42:08Please.
42:19I was the author.
42:22Lyra!
42:32You wrote me a billion deaths
42:35And I witnessed every single one
42:39Don't die
42:40I'm not done with you yet
42:42As you command, my god
42:54You're bleeding
42:56Don't
43:01Anomaly restored
43:03You put me in a box
43:05You put him on a cross
43:07Now I erase yourself
43:16Your mistake
43:18Was keeping us both alive
43:27Combat capability exceeds all parameters
43:31Full suppression
43:35Here's the only parameter
43:46You wore my mother's face
43:48She was a skin for the proxy
43:51Nothing more
43:54She was more real than you
44:04There she is
44:07We're not done
44:27There's a hole in my page
44:34He's burned his core for you
44:36Jace burned his battery for you
44:38Evelyn is in pieces because of you
44:41And for what?
44:42If you're going to wipe me, get it over with
44:44Wipe you?
44:45No
44:45You I'm keeping
44:46The author's pet gets a special ending
45:02Well shit
45:13You tore a hole in his page
45:16He can't undo that
45:17He can't undo that
45:18Why isn't he chasing us?
45:20Because it's not his page anymore
45:22It's yours
45:24We're going down
45:25Now
45:42There's something down here
45:47I see it
45:48That's from the Ark
45:49The gene bank you grabbed
45:52It's real
45:54That's where we're heading
45:57That shouldn't be there
46:18Cut the link
46:20What?
46:22The wipe is hitting me
46:24If we stay connected
46:25It'll take you too
46:28So what?
46:30So cut it loose
46:32Take the gene bank
46:33Get out
46:37You got this far on your own
46:38You don't need it now
46:42You came into this page for me
46:45You burned your core for me
46:49So don't you dare tell me
46:51To leave you behind
47:00All right
47:03Together
47:03Together
47:13It's gonna hold
47:16I know
47:22It stopped
47:27The gene bank
47:32It was never loaded into his system
47:36I designed the Ark outside the comics database
47:43He can't touch anything from there
47:45Then we stay in the light
47:50It's pulling the real world towards us
47:52Using the gene bank as an anchor
47:54How long?
47:56Longer than we have
48:04That object is not in the database
48:09Where did you get it?
48:11He's gonna throw everything he has left
48:14The whole system
48:15Once that hits
48:16The gene bank won't hold
48:26You built this world
48:29You know how to break it
48:32I don't have a core anymore
48:34You gave me your blood once
48:36Now give me whatever you have left
48:43It's not enough
48:49Then we give it everything
48:51That's not part of the story
48:58He's not stopping
49:02Neither are we
49:06This isn't enough
49:08Not even close
49:09I don't have a core
49:11I can't give you the kind of power
49:13That breaks a page
49:14You built this world
49:16You built the tether
49:17You said it binds everything
49:19So bind this
49:21Not blood to blood
49:23Power to power
49:24If I push what's left of my blood
49:26Into the tether
49:27And you push your dark energy in
49:29From the other end at the same time
49:31Or they make something new
49:44Now you
49:54That can't
49:56That power doesn't
50:04We're close
50:09If I can't have this world
50:11No one can
50:14Page zero
50:31It didn't work
50:34Not yet
50:38Take the gene bank
50:40The green light can still get you through
50:43Say that again
50:50The crack is still there
50:54I can't do this alone
51:16Go
51:18We go together
51:20Hold on
51:23Not letting go
51:24I can't do this alone
51:26No
51:30No
51:37No
51:38No
51:39No
51:40No
51:40No
51:42No
51:42No
51:43No
52:09I don't know.
52:14Still staring at it.
52:15Third week on the list.
52:22I sketched this out before we even moved in.
52:29So either I made it all up, or it already happened.
52:34You're here. I'm here.
52:46The Arc 1 final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous event.
53:39The Arc 1 final transmission of an unidentified luminous event.
54:02The Arc 1 final transmission of an unidentified luminous event.
54:03Book tour starts today.
54:05I know. You nervous?
54:08No.
