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.
02:28Oh, course.
02:59Eveline!
03:00Look at me, it's really you!
03:02You're alive!
03:03You're really alive!
03:04I thought I lost you forever!
03:06Lyra?
03:07What are you doing here?
03:08No, no, listen 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, what the hell are you?
03:44I'm the one giving you a choice.
03:47Keep that gun on me, and 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.
04:03I'm the one giving you a choice.
04:16Jace!
04:18Jace!
04:21Jace!
04:22Jace!
04:23Jace!
04:25Jace!
04:28Jace!
04:32Jace!
04:35Jace!
04:35Is it really...
04:37Jace!
04:38Jace!
04:39Jace!
04:39I 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. We have to get him to the Sector 7 underground bunker, but 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 he dies in two
05:30hours.
05:35That mech out's outside. Its target is you. You 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.
05:55Mono-molecular 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 survived except me and Jace.
06:20Because I watched you die there. Over and over again.
06:34Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood? What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery. Be ready to move.
07:28You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move.
07:33You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move.
07:35You're bleeding. 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.
08:08I don't leave useful assets behind to die. Move.
08:32Evelyn, two minutes out. Open the gate.
08:34Wait. Lyra, the pod's crashing. And there's something in the background.
08:40Oh, God.
08:42Go forward.
09:01You're bleeding.
09:04The clusterfone is only running.
09:12They're getting in!
09:49Plug it in.
09:51Plug it in.
10:05Erase.
10:18That's Arc One.
10:27Lyra, this world is a comic book.
10:32A comic book? What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind? Who exactly are you?
10:38A reader. Someone who watched you die a billion times, Lyra.
10:43This is the first time I can actually touch you.
10:58Save the crazy talk. I 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.
11:27You're ruining the story.
11:31Shut up! Don't you dare use her voice!
11:58Get up! I don't have time to die here! And you're not dragging me down!
12:14It's the Reaper's poison. You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:23Then save me. Or I'll take you with me.
12:35My blood is the only cure. It'll make you faster, stronger. But 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. My pain, your pain.
13:31Bad luck, Lyra. You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:41What is this? A hallucination?
13:46No. Rendering failure. She's deleting this panel.
13:55Lyra. You were never supposed to see this. Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:13Stop following the rules. In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:21You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:37I knew it! You can't afford to let him die! If he's in pain, the whole world glitches!
14:47If this is just a play, then I'm walking off the stage.
14:49I got you...
15:08Now tell me, who are you? No more reader bullshit.
15:12it. Give me a name I can actually understand. You can call me Oreo. Welcome to the real
15:30wasteland, Lyra.
16:03Don't bleed out. I need you functional.
16:32Damn it.
16:47Control your heartbeat. You're distracting me.
16:50Then cut it out, Lyra. Because as long as we're tethered, every time you touch yourself,
16:57I feel it. So tell me, how do you expect me to calm down?
17:10Pain is a great way to kill a distraction. Welcome to my world, Oriel.
17:22The agent is patching the system. She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:29So what's her plan B? Narrative correction. She's sending a reset switch.
17:49Jess.
17:52Anomaly detected. Target liner. Initiating timeline reset.
18:09Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:17Target locked.
18:38Step away from him. Now.
18:43He's aim is the starter. He is the reset trigger. One touch. And you're dead again.
18:56Lyra. Run. I can't...
19:19Don't look at him. Look at me.
19:27Lyra. Take the shot. Don't let me do this.
19:42You're dead again.
19:45Grace.
19:48He's down. But the grid is tearing apart. We have to move.
20:10Drop it. You'll kill us both.
20:12Good. The 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.
20:44What? So 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 is a joke to you?
21:05Does this feel fake to you?
21:06In a billion timelines, you're the only one who didn't surrender.
21:10You fought. You bled. You killed.
21:14I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra.
21:17I came for you.
21:26The mark. It burns.
21:39It's not the proxy.
21:41Something else found us.
21:47It's not the only one who didn't surrender.
21:49It's not the only one who didn't surrender.
21:52It's not the only one who didn't surrender.
21:54It's not the only one who didn't surrender.
21:57It's not the only one who died.
22:00It's not the only one who died.
22:01It's not the only one who died.
22:01It's not the only one who died.
22:02It's not the only one who died.
22:02It's not the only one who died.
22:03It's not the only one who died.
22:04It's not the only one who died.
22:05It's not the only one who died.
22:10It's not the only one who died.
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.
23:53Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:57Initiating physical urge.
24:16You didn't just destroy that thing.
24:18You reversed time!
24:20Tell the system.
24:21The purge is cancelled.
24:29The purge is cancelled.
24:34You rewrote your own code.
24:36Can you walk?
24:37I'm going back to sector seven.
24:39To kill Evelyn?
24:41No.
24:42To ask her who wrote this script.
24:46And then, I'm going to find the author.
25:00Keep up.
25:02The proxy is hardwired to the core.
25:04She won't talk.
25:05I'll make her.
25:28Unauthorized access.
25:36Who wrote this script?
25:38Give me a name.
25:46You want to find the author, Lyra?
25:49Ask the man behind you.
25:54Ask him who created your hell.
26:04You wrote this.
26:05You drew the Reapers.
26:07You scripted Evelyn to wear my mother's face.
26:10Lyra.
26:15Is it fun, Orion?
26:16Playing God with our lives?
26:18Does it turn you on to watch us bleed?
26:21Ten billion times.
26:22You sat up there flipping the pages while I was torn apart in the dark.
26:26And now you drop down here playing the fucking hero?
26:29To play the victim?
26:31I was the author.
26:33But I burned the script for you.
26:35I fell into this cage to be with you.
26:38You want to be with me.
26:40You want to feel what I feel.
26:51You played God with my life fine.
26:54From now on, I am God.
26:56As you wish.
26:58My God.
27:00Author privileges completely overbitered.
27:02Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:05World Weish in progress.
27:07World Weish in progress.
27:11Protocol blank canvas.
27:13Initiated.
27:14Formatning.
27:15Sector 7.
27:18Stand up.
27:29Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orion.
27:32Kill them all.
27:36As you command.
27:58Use the pain.
28:12The physics engine is breaking.
28:15Gravity is about to flip.
28:22Then let's fall upwards.
28:31To be after the prize.
28:33To be after the prize.
28:51And attack the ή dije food.
28:52Enter multiple bots.
28:56Sloppy. You let it touch you.
29:03Punish me later.
29:07Brace for impact.
29:18The system re-writ the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:23A 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.
30:25Wake up, Jace! Fight the code!
30:32We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins. Help me tear this out.
30:37If my life is a script...
30:40Then I choose how it ends!
30:44Jace!
30:47Go!
30:50Go!
30:56Oh, my God.
31:49Oh, my God.
31:52Una-authorized fleet approaching the core.
31:54Accelerating deletion.
32:12Hold on.
32:35It's hard code.
32:38Brute Force won't dent this.
32:39It needs an administrator's signature.
32:43Then sign it.
32:56You have made a mess of my publication, Orion.
33:02You were the architecture, Oriol.
33:04You held the pen.
33:06Now look at you.
33:08A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash.
33:11How pathetic.
33:13It's better than sitting in the dark with you.
33:16Writing fake tears.
33:24So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths.
33:27Your writing is absolute garbage!
33:31Delete.
33:33You love her pain so much, Orion.
33:36Fine.
33:37But she...
33:38Won't remember you.
33:59Protocol, memory wipe.
34:02Enjoy your new genre, Lyra.
34:04A perfect, painless utopia.
34:14Lyra, don't close your eyes.
34:25Good morning, sweetie.
34:28Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride.
34:31Morning, Mom.
34:33I slept great.
34:34But my wrist feels weird.
34:38It looks perfect, Lyra.
34:40Not a single blemish.
34:41Yeah.
34:42It's just...
34:42It feels too light.
34:44Like I forgot to put on a watch or something.
34:47Look at you.
34:48Flawless.
34:49Jace is going to lose mind when he sees you.
35:01Lyra, what are you doing?
35:02You're ruining the skin.
35:03I don't know.
35:05It just itches.
35:06It feels like something heavy is supposed to be there.
35:13What are you doing here?
35:15What are you doing here?
35:32You look perfect.
35:36Thanks.
35:37This place is intense.
35:54I have the patch.
35:56It'll vanish in one second.
36:00No marks.
36:01That's much better.
36:05I need some air.
36:06I'm walking back.
36:15Lyra.
36:16I need some air.
36:46You're zoning out on me.
36:56Lyra.
37:01Stand up.
37:02You're white as a shield.
37:03It's the pain in my chest.
37:05I can feel his pain.
37:07It's a hologram.
37:09An art proust.
37:10You're probably dehydrated.
37:13Stay put.
37:13I'll go grab some water.
37:14Who are you?
37:16Why...
37:17Why can I feel...
37:19your pain?
37:20It's just a show.
37:22Go home.
37:27You're welcome.
37:38You're welcome.
37:50I don't know.
37:51I don't know.
38:26I don't know.
38:27Go home.
38:27The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:35You're lying.
38:42I'm not.
38:45Just go.
38:46Please.
38:55Please.
39:02Do you, Lyra, take this man in sickness and in health as 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 two discharge initiating.
39:50This wedding, this dress, all of it, it's fake.
39:54He's real.
39:55That pain is real.
39:56You're confused.
39:59Drink 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.
40:24Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:35Citizen, please remain calm.
40:37Emotional anomalies are temporary.
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
41:30Final phase initiated, execute
41:48To be continued...
42:14Security breach. Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:22Let go. Please.
42:35I was the author.
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.
43:24Now I erase you though.
43:32Your 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.
45:30You 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.
45:41We'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.
46:09It'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.
46:40If 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.
47:30It's gonna hold.
47:33I 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 gonna 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.
48:52Now 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.
50:01Now you.
50:11That can't. That power doesn't.
50:20We're close.
50:26If I can't have this world, no one can.
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.
51:33Go.
51:35We go together.
51:38Hold on.
51:40Not letting go.
51:41die.
51:51Don't let go.
51:54Die.
51:56Die.
52:00Die.
52:10I don't know.
52:30Still staring at it.
52:32Third week on the list.
52:38I sketched this out before we even moved in.
52:45So either I made it all up, or it already happened.
52:50You're here. I'm here.
53:03The Arc-1 final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous event.
53:10I'm here.
54:42Is it true that you based Orion on someone real?
55:03You haven't signed mine.
55:08What do you want me to write?
55:11You know.
55:14What do you want me to write?
55:48What do you want me to write?
55:48What do you want me to write?
55:49What do you want me to write?
55:49What do you want me to write?
55:49What do you want me to write?
