Short filmTranscript
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.
00:57There'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.
02:30Sector 5?
02:31Sector 5?
02:35Sector 5?
03:00Evelyn, look at me, it's really you
03:02You're alive, you're really alive
03:04I thought I lost you forever
03:06Myra?
03:07What are you doing here?
03:08No, no, listen to me
03:11We made it, you're alive
03:13What happened to you?
03:16I 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
03:48And Jace dies in 2 minutes 14 seconds
03:54Jace, no, he's at the 7th line
04:00He's been ambushed
04:02Save him now or watch him die
04:27Jace, look at me
04:28Please stay with me
04:30Lyra?
04:35Is it really?
04:38I saved him
04:40But if you shed one tear for him
04:43I 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
05:27Quantum battery
05:28Otherwise he dies in 2 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
05:43Then I'll kill it first
05:53Don't ever touch me like that again
05:55Monomolecular wire
05:59You'd already be in pieces
06:10Blue first
06:11Otherwise you trigger the alarm
06:13Just like you did at Outpost 3
06:16How do you know about Outpost 3?
06:18Nobody survived except me and Jace
06:20Because I watched you die there
06:22Over and over again
06:35Intruder detected
06:36Termination authorized
06:57Golden blood?
06:59What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery
07:04Be ready to move
07:28You're bleeding
07:29Can you still walk?
07:30Move!
07:33Lyra, the bunker shield is failing
07:35There's another reaper
07:37Another one
07:40It's a trap
07:41Fall back
07:45Jace doesn't have time for that
07:46I'm going through
08:03The shield is is breaking
08:04Drop it
08:05We need cover
08:06Run
08:07I'll buy you time
08:08I don't leave useful assets behind to die
08:11Move
08:32Evelyn, two minutes out
08:33Open the gate
08:35Lyra, the pod's crashing
08:37And there's
08:38Something in the back
08:41Go
08:41Go
09:12They're getting in!
09:49Plug it in.
10:05Erase.
10:18That's Arc One.
10:27Lyra, this world is a comic book.
10:32A comic book?
10:33What are you talking about?
10:35Have you lost your mind?
10:36Who exactly are you?
10:38A reader.
10:39Someone who watched you die a billion times, Lyra.
10:43This is the first time I can actually touch you.
10:58Save the crazy talk.
11:00I need your firepower alive.
11:10Evelyn, what are you doing?
11:16Correcting an era, Lyra.
11:22You were supposed to die on Arc One, sweetie.
11:28You're ruining the story.
11:31Shut up!
11:32Don't you dare use her voice!
11:58Get up!
11:59I don't have time to die here.
12:00And you're not dragging me down!
12:14It's the Reaper's poison.
12:16You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:23Then save me, or I'll take you with me.
12:34My blood is the only cure.
12:38It'll make you faster, stronger.
12:40But it comes with a leash.
12:52Once you taste it, you belong to the script.
13:22The gift isn't free, Lyra.
13:24My heart stops, your stops.
13:27My pain, your pain.
13:31Bad luck, Lyra.
13:33You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:41What is this?
13:42A hallucination?
13:46No.
13:47Rendering failure.
13:48She's deleting this panel.
13:55Lyra.
13:56You were never supposed to see this.
13:59Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:13Stop following the rules.
14:15In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:21You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:37I knew it!
14:38You can't afford to let him die!
14:40If he's in pain, the whole world glitches!
14:47If this is just a play, then I'm walking off the stage.
15:08Now tell me, who are you?
15:10No more reader bullshit.
15:13Give me a name I can actually understand.
15:24You can call me Oreo.
15:28Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra.
16:03Don't bleed out.
16:04I need you functional.
16:32Dammit.
16:36Dammit.
16:47Control your heartbeat.
16:49You're distracting me.
16:50Then cut it out Lyra.
16:53Because as long as we're tethered.
16:55Every time you touch yourself.
16:57I feel it.
16:59So tell me.
17:00How do you expect me to calm down?
17:10Pain is a great way to kill a distraction.
17:13Welcome to my world, Aureole.
17:22The agent is patching the system.
17:26She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:29So what's her plan B?
17:31Narrative correction.
17:33She's sending a reset switch.
17:52Anomaly detected.
17:54Target lineup.
17:55Initiating timeline reset.
18:09Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:17Target locked.
18:38Step away from him.
18:40Now.
18:43He's aim is the starter.
18:45He is the reset trigger.
18:48One touch.
18:51And you're dead again.
18:56Lyra.
18:58Run.
18:59I can't...
19:19Don't look at him.
19:20Look at me.
19:26Lyra.
19:27Take the shot.
19:28Don't let me do this.
19:45Please.
19:48He's down.
19:49But the grid is tearing apart.
19:51We have to move.
20:10Drop it.
20:11You'll kill us both.
20:12Good.
20:13The virus can't run on dead hosts.
20:17See if a hard reboot works on God.
20:36Jace tore his own arm off.
20:39He was crying.
20:41You said this is a comic book.
20:43A script.
20:44So his tears?
20:46Was it all just ink on a page?
20:48Is this a joke to you?
20:50Watching us bleed?
20:52Watching us scream while you readers just turn the page?
20:56What?
20:58What?
21:05Does this feel fake to you?
21:06In a billion timelines, you're the only one who didn't surrender.
21:10You fought.
21:11You bled.
21:12You killed.
21:14I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra.
21:17I came for you.
21:26The mark.
21:28It burns.
21:39It's not the proxy.
21:41Something else found us.
21:43It burns.
21:45It burns.
21:59It burns.
22:02It burns.
22:05It burns.
22:06It burns.
22:07It burns.
22:10It burns.
22:11It burns.
22:12It burns.
22:31It hurts, Lyra.
22:34Why do we always have to die?
22:38Every single time.
22:50Who are you?
22:51What are you?
22:53I am you.
22:55Who died a billion times.
23:02Is this another trick?
23:05Another simulation?
23:07Answer me.
23:17So I'm supposed to fear this?
23:19My own pain?
23:25The system can wipe the files, but it can't erase the phantom pain.
23:30This is the weight.
23:32It's the weight of your a billion deaths.
23:35In these billion deaths, you've been crying, haven't you?
23:44Give it back to me!
23:51Fatal error.
23:54Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:57Initiating physical purge.
24:16You didn't just destroy that thing.
24:18You reversed time!
24:20Tell the system.
24:21The purge is cancelled.
24:29A person's body.
24:34You rewrote your own code.
24:36Can you walk?
24:37I'm going back to Sector 7.
24:39To kill Evelyn?
24:41No.
24:42To ask her who wrote this script.
24:46And then...
24:47I'm going to find the author.
24:50I'm going to find the author.
25:00keep up

28:54so
28:56Sloppy. You let it touch you.
29:03Punish me later. Brace for impact.
29:18The system re-writ the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:22A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:31Deploying ultimate anchor. Eradicate the anomalies.
29:41Targets locked.
30:09He is a dead node. End him.
30:13I don't need your permission to decide who gets to live.
30:26Wake up, Jace! Fight the code!
30:32We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins. Help me tear this out.
30:36If my life is a script...
30:40Then I choose how it ends!
30:44Jace!
30:47No!
30:51Oh, wait!
30:52No!
30:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
31:00You're right.
31:01I don't know.
31:33We have a tower to climb.
31:35Gravity's gone to hell. We have to jump through the debris.
31:45Then jump.
31:51Warning. Unaauthorized fleet approaching the core. Accelerating deletion.
32:12Hold on.
32:14Hold on.
32:36It's hard code. Brute force won't dent this. It needs an administrator's signature.
32:43Then sign it.
32:55You have made a mess of my publication, Orion.
33:02You were the architecture, Orion. You held the pen. Now look at you. A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash.
33:11How pathetic. It's better than sitting in the dark with you, writing fake tears.
33:24So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths? Your writing is absolute garbage!
33:31Delete.
33:33You love her pain so much, Orion. Fine. But she... won't remember you.
33:59Protocol memory wipe. Enjoy your new genre, Lyra. A perfect, painless utopia.
34:12Lyra. Don't close your eyes.
34:26Good morning, sweetie. Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride.
34:31Morning, Mom. I slept great. But my wrist feels weird.
34:38It looks perfect, Lyra. Not a single blemish.
34:41Yeah. It's just... it feels too light. Like I forgot to put on a watch or something.
34:47Look at you. Flawless. Jace is going to lose mind when he sees you.
35:01Lyra! What are you doing? You're ruining the skin.
35:03I don't know. It just itches. It feels like something heavy is supposed to be there.
35:13What are you doing here?
35:32You look perfect.
35:36Thanks. This place is intense.
35:54I have the patch. It'll vanish in one second.
36:00No marks. That's much better.
36:05I need some air. I'm walking back.
36:15Lyra.
36:44You're zoning out on me.
36:45Lyra. You're zoning out on me.
36:56Lyra.
37:01Stand up. You're white as a shield.
37:03It's the pain in my chest. I can feel his pain.
37:07It's a hologram. An art proust. You're probably dehydrated.
37:12Stay put. I'll go grab some water.
37:14Who are you? Why... why can I feel your pain?
37:20It's just a show. Go home.
37:24It's just a show. Go home.
37:48It's just a show. Go home.
38:09Hey.
38:10You shouldn't be here.
38:16Who are you?
38:17It's just an immersive show, miss.
38:19A piece of art.
38:26Go home.
38:27The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:35You're lying.
38:42I'm not.
38:45Just go, please.
39:02Do you, Lyra, take this man
39:07in sickness and in health
39:09as long as you both shall live?
39:20The dress is stained.
39:23It's ruined.
39:27You're having another episode.
39:30Drink this.
39:31It will fix everything.
39:33What is that?
39:36Medicine.
39:37For your nerves.
39:39Stage 2 discharge initiating.
39:50This wedding.
39:51This dress.
39:52All of it.
39:53It's fake.
39:54He's real.
39:55That pain is real.
39:56You're confused.
39:58Drink the medicine.
40:00Let it pass.
40:02It's fake.
40:07This place.
40:08Lyra, do not walk out of this church.
40:11Watch me.
40:13Watch me.
40:23Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:35Citizen, please remain calm.
40:37Emotional anomalies are temporary.
40:39I'm sorry.
41:01Oh, my God.
41:14This exceeds standard anomaly parameters.
41:19She is not supposed to remember how to fight.
41:25She just stopped caring about your perfect script.
41:29Final phase initiated. Execute.
41:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
42:14Security breach. Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:22Let go. Please.
42:36I was the author.
42:38PYRA!
42:48You wrote me a billion deaths.
42:51And I witnessed every single one.
42:55Don't die. I'm not done with you yet.
42:59As you command, my God.
43:10You're bleeding.
43:13Don't.
43:18Anomaly restored.
43:20You put me in a box.
43:22You put him on a cross.
43:23Now I erase you, sir.
43:33Your mistake was keeping us both alive.
43:44Combat capability exceeds all parameters.
43:48Full suppression.
43:51Here's the only parameter.
44:03You wore my mother's face.
44:05She was a skin for the proxy.
44:08Nothing more.
44:10She was more real than you.
44:21There she is.
44:24We're not done.
44:44There's a hole in my page.
44:51He's burned his core for you.
44:53Jace burned his battery for you.
44:55Evelyn is in pieces because of you.
44:57And for what?
44:58If you're going to wipe me, get it over with.
45:00Wipe you?
45:01No.
45:02You I'm keeping.
45:03The author's pet gets a special ending.
45:19Well, shit.
45:31You tore a hole in his page.
45:33He can't undo that.
45:34Why isn't he chasing us?
45:36Because it's not his page anymore.
45:39It's yours.
45:40We're going down.
45:42Now.
45:59There's something down here.
46:03I see it.
46:04That's from the Ark.
46:06The gene bank you grabbed.
46:08It's real.
46:11That's where we're heading.
46:13That shouldn't be there.
46:34Cut the link.
46:37What?
46:38The wipe is hitting me.
46:41If we stay connected, it'll take you too.
46:45So what?
46:46So cut it loose.
46:49Take the gene bank.
46:50Get out.
46:53You got this far on your own.
46:55You don't need it now.
46:59You came into this page for me.
47:01You burned your core for me.
47:05So don't you dare tell me to leave you behind.
47:17All right.
47:19Together.
47:20Together.
47:29It's going to hold.
47:32I know.
47:39It stopped.
47:43The gene bank.
47:48It was never loaded into his system.
47:52I designed the Ark outside the comics database.
47:59He can't touch anything from there.
48:02Then we stay in the light.
48:07It's pulling the real world towards us.
48:09Using the gene bank as an anchor.
48:11How long?
48:13Longer than we have.
48:21That object is not in the database.
48:25Where did you get it?
48:28He's going to throw everything he has left.
48:30The whole system.
48:32Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:43You built this world.
48:45You know how to break it.
48:48I don't have a core anymore.
48:50You gave me your blood once.
48:53Now give me whatever you have left.
49:00It's not enough.
49:05Then we give it everything.
49:07That's not part of the story.
49:15He's not stopping.
49:19Neither are we.
49:22This isn't enough.
49:24Not even close.
49:26I don't have a core.
49:28I can't give you the kind of power that breaks a page.
49:31You built this world.
49:33You built the tether.
49:34You said it binds everything.
49:36So bind this.
49:37Not blood to blood.
49:39Power to power.
49:41If I push what's left of my blood into the tether,
49:44and you push your dark energy in from the other end at the same time...
49:48Or they make something new.
50:00Now you.
50:11That can't.
50:12That power doesn't.
50:20We're close.
50:25If I can't have this world,
50:27no one can.
50:30Page zero.
50:48It didn't work.
50:50Not yet.
50:55Take the gene bank.
50:57The green light can still get you through.
51:00Say that again!
51:07The crack is still there.
51:10I can't do this alone.
51:13I can't do this alone.
51:33Go.
51:35We go together.
51:38Hold on.
51:39Not letting go.
51:43No.
51:43No.
51:48No.
51:49I don't know.
52:19I don't know.
52:50I don't know.
52:50You're here.
52:51I'm here.
53:03The Arc 1 final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous event.
53:10I don't know.
53:13I don't know.
53:24I don't know.
53:28I don't know.
53:29I don't know.
53:30I don't know.
53:31I don't know.
53:42I don't know.
