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.
00:59There'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.
01:49Sector 4?
01:51But this was three years ago.
01:56I don't know.
01:56No.
02:09No.
02:09Let's go.
02:42Let's go.
03:09Listen to me.
03:11We made it.
03:12You're alive.
03:13What happened to you?
03:15I will never let you die again.
03:23You didn't just destroy that thing.
03:25You reversed time.
03:27Who the hell are you?
03:37I'm asking you.
03:39What the hell are you?
03:44I'm the one giving you a choice.
03:47Keep that gun on me, and Jates dies in 2 minutes 14 seconds.
03:54Jace!
03:54No, he's at the 7th line.
04:00He's been ambushed.
04:02Save him now or watch him die.
04:16JACE!
04:25JACE!
04:26JACE!
04:27Look at me.
04:29Please stay with me.
04:30Lyra?
04:34Is it really...
04:38I saved him.
04:40But if you shed one tear for him, I will finish what those monsters started.
04:48The dark energy is spreading.
04:50We have to get him to the Sector 7 underground bunker.
04:52But he's too heavy!
04:56Lead the way.
05:03Target locked.
05:04Lyra, purge protocol activated.
05:22The pod's slowing it down.
05:23But only temporarily.
05:25We need a military-grade quantum battery.
05:28Otherwise, he dies in two hours.
05:35That mech out's outside.
05:37Its target is you.
05:40You change the timeline.
05:41It'll be waiting at the armory.
05:44Then I'll kill it first.
05:53Don't ever touch me like that again.
05:55Mono-molecular wire.
05:59You'd already be in pieces.
06:10Blue first.
06:12Otherwise, you trigger the alarm.
06:13Just like you did at Outpost 3.
06:16How do you know about Outpost 3?
06:18Nobody survive except me and Jake.
06:20Because I watched you die there.
06:22Over and over again.
06:25Over and over again.
06:35Intruder detected.
06:37Termination authorized.
06:58Goldenblood?
06:59What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery.
07:03Be ready to move.
07:07Be ready to move.
07:28You're bleeding.
07:29Can you still walk?
07:30Move.
07:33Laya.
07:34The bunker shield is failing.
07:36There's another Reaper.
07:37Another one.
07:40It's a trap.
07:42Fall back.
07:45Jace doesn't have time for that.
07:47I'm going through.
08:10I'm going through.
08:24Evelyn, two minutes out.
08:26Open the gate.
08:27Lyra, the pod's crashing.
08:30And there's something in the middle of it.
08:34Goal!
08:36Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:38Goal!
08:39Goal!
08:39Goal!
08:40Goal!
08:41Goal!
08:48Goal!
08:50Goal!
08:54Goal!
08:58Goal!
09:02Goal!
09:04Goal!
09:05They're getting in!
09:12I don't know.
09:41Plug it in.
09:57Erase.
10:10That's Arc 1.
10:18Liar.
10:21This world...
10:22is 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.
10:50Save the crazy talk.
10:53I need your firepower alive.
11:02Evelyn, what are you doing?
11:09Correcting an era, Lyra.
11:15You were supposed to die on Arc 1, 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!
11:53And you're not dragging me down!
12:06It's the Reaper's poison.
12:08You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:15Then save me.
12:16Or I'll take you with me.
12:20Or I'll take you with me.
12:27My blood is the only cure.
12:30It'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.
13:25You 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.
13:51Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:05Stop following the rules.
14:07In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:13You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:29I knew it!
14:30You can't afford to let him die!
14:32If 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, who 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.
15:33It's just a bit complicated.
15:36How many people tend to see this office?
15:39Help me.
15:40Help me.
15:41Help me.
15:55Don't bleed out.
15:56I need you functional.
16:24Damn it.
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?
17:02Pain is a great way to kill a distraction. Welcome to my world, Aureol.
17:14The agent is patching the system.
17:18She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:21So what's her plan B?
17:23Narrative correction. She's sending a reset switch.
17:42Jess...
17:44Anomaly detected. Target, Lyra. Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:09Target locked.
18:11Target locked.
18:30Step away from him.
18:32Now.
18:35His aim is the starter.
18:37He is the reset trigger.
18:40One touch.
18:43And you're dead again.
18:45That's perfect.
18:49Lyra.
18:50Run.
18:51I can't...
19:11Don't look at him.
19:12Look at me.
19:18Lyra.
19:19Take the shot.
19:20Don't let me do this.
19:37Chase.
19:40He's down.
19:41But the grid is tearing apart.
19:43We have to move.
20:02Drop it.
20:03You'll kill us both.
20:04Good.
20:05The virus can't run on dead hosts.
20:10See if a hard reboot works on God.
20:31Jace tore his own arm off.
20:34He was crying.
20:35Fine. You said this is a comic book. A script. So his tears? Was it all just ink on a
20:42page?
20:43Is this a joke to you? Watching us bleed? Watching us scream while you readers just turn the page?
20:59Does this feel fake to you? In a billion timelines, you're the only one who didn't surrender.
21:05You fought, you fought, you bled, you killed. I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra. I came for
21:13you.
21:23The mark! It burns!
21:35It's not the proxy. Something else found us.
22:04AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
22:27It hurts, Lyra.
22:30Why do we always have to die?
22:34Every single time.
22:46Who are you? What are you?
22:48I am you.
22:50Who died a billion times.
22:58Is this another trick? Another simulation? Answer me.
23:13So I'm supposed to fear this? My own pain?
23:20The system can wipe the files, but it can't erase the phantom pain.
23:26This is the weight.
23:28Is the weight of your a billion deaths.
23:31In these billion deaths, you've been crying, haven't you?
23:34The world's been crying, haven't you?
23:40Give it back to me!
23:47Fatal error.
23:49Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:52Initiating physical purge.
24:12You didn't just destroy that thing, you reversed time
24:15Tell the system, the purge is cancelled
24:25Beautiful
24:30You rewrote your own code
24:33Can you walk? I'm going back to Sector 7
24:36To kill Evelyn?
24:38No, to 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
25:33Who wrote this script? Give me a name
25:44You want to find the author, Lyra?
25:46Ask the man behind you
25:51Ask him who created your hell
26:01You wrote this
26:02You drew the Reapers
26:04You scripted Evelyn to wear my mother's face
26:07Lyra
26:12Is it fun, Orion?
26:14Playing God with our lives
26:15Does it turn you on to watch us bleed?
26:18Ten billion times
26:19You sat up there flipping the pages
26:21While I was torn apart in the dark
26:23And now you drop down here
26:25Playing the fucking hero
26:26To play the victim?
26:28I was the author
26:30But I burned the script for you
26:32I 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
26:53As you wish
26:55My God

27:55Use the pain
28:09The physics engine is breaking

29:00Punish me later.
29:05Brace for impact.
29:15The system re-writ 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.
30:08End 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...
30:37Then I choose how it ends!
30:41Jace!
30:44No!
30:48No!
30:49No!
30:49No!
30:51No!
30:56No!
31:03No!

31:34No!
31:35No!
31:42Then jump!
31:47Warning!
31:49Una-authorized means approaching the Core.
31:51Accelerating deletion.
32:09Hold 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 architecture, Oriol. You held the pen. Now look at you. A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash.
33:09How pathetic.
33:10It's better than sitting in the dark with you, writing fake tears.
33:21So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths? Your writing is absolute garbage!
33:28Delete.
33:30You love her pain so much, Orion. Fine. But she won't remember you.
33:57Protocol, Memory Wipe. Enjoy your new genre, Lyra. A perfect, painless utopia.
34:11Lyra. 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.
34:59Lylah, what are you doing? You're ruining the skin.
35:02I don't know. It just itches. It 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.
35:52I 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.
36:12Lyra.
36:15Why can't I...
36:30Why can't I...
36:34Why can't I...
36:44Lyra.
36:45You're zoning out on me.
36:54Lyra.
36:59Stand up. You're white as a shield.
37:02It's the pain in my chest. I can feel his pain.
37:06It's a hologram. An art, Proust. You're probably dehydrated.
37:11Stay put. I'll go grab some water.
37:13Who are you? Why... Why can I feel your pain?
37:19It's just a show. Go home.
37:28Good work.
37:32Come on.
37:34I'll go.
37:37Come on.

41:28Final phase initiated. Execute.
42:12Security breach. Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:21Let go. Please.
42:34I was the author.
42:36Fyra!
42:46You wrote me a billion deaths.
42:49And 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 talk.
43:17Anomaly restored.
43:18You put me in a box.
43:20You put him on a cross.
43:22Now I erase you both.
43:31Your mistake was keeping us both alive.
43:42Combat capability exceeds all parameters.
43:46Full suppression.
43:50Here's the only parameter.
44:01You wore my mother's face.
44:03She 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.
44:53Evelyn 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.
45:29You 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.
46:03That's from the Ark.
46:04The gene bank you grabbed.
46:07It's real.
46:09That's where we're heading.
46:12That 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.
46:59You burned your core for me.
47:02You burned your core for me.
47:03So don't you dare tell me to leave you behind.
47:15All right.
47:17Together!
47:19Together!
47:20Together!
47:28It's gonna hold.
47:30I know.
47:37It stopped.
47:41The gene bank.
47:47It was never loaded into his system.
47:51I designed the Ark outside the comics database.
47:58He 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.
48:23Where did you get it?
48:26He's gonna throw everything he has left.
48:29The whole system.
48:30Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:41You built this world.
48:43You 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.
50:18We're close.
50:23If I can't have this world.
50:26No one can.
50:28Page zero.
50:31Page zero.
50:45It 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.
51:09I can't do this alone.
51:32Go.
51:34We go together.
51:37Hold on.
51:38Not letting go.
51:40No.
51:44No.
51:46No.
51:46Oh, my God.
52:17Oh, my God.
52:46It already happened.
52:48You're here.
52:50I'm here.
53:01The arc one final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous
53:08event.
53:08I'm here.
53:11I'm here.
53:23I'm here.
53:26I'm here.
53:28I'm here.
53:29I'm here.
53:38I'm here.
53:39I'm here.
53:47I'm here.
53:48Say it.
