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.
01:50Sector 4? But this was three years ago.
01:56No.
01:57No.
01:57No.
02:08No.
02:09No.
02:10No.
02:21No.
02:23No.
02:25No.
02:26No.
02:28No.
02:28Oh, my God.
03:00Evelyn, look at me. It's really you. You're alive. You're really alive. I thought I lost you forever.
03:06Lyra, what are you doing here?
03:08No, no, listen to me. We made it. You're alive. What happened to you?
03:16I will never let you die again.
03:23You didn't just destroy that thing. You reversed time.
03:26I'm... Who the hell are you?
03:37I'm asking you, what the hell are you?
03:44I'm the one giving you a choice. Keep 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. Save him now, or watch him die.
04:16Jace!
04:25Jace!
04:27Look at me.
04:29Please stay with me.
04:31Lyra?
04:35Is it really...
04:38I saved him.
04:41But 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. Lyra, purge protocol activated.
05:22The pod's slowing it down.
05:24But only temporarily.
05:25We need a military-grade quantum battery.
05:28Otherwise, he dies in two hours.
05:35That mech out south side.
05:37Its target is you.
05:40You change the timeline.
05:42It'll be waiting at the armory.
05:44Then 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.
06:12Otherwise, 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.
06:37Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood?
06:59What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery.
07:04Be ready to move.
07:28You're bleeding.
07:30Can 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.
07:42Fall back.
07:45Jace doesn't have time for that.
07:47I'm going through.
08:03The shield is breaking.
08:05Drop it.
08:05We need cover.
08:06Run.
08:07I'll buy you time.
08:09I don't leave useful assets behind to die.
08:11Move.
08:12Move.
08:13Move.
08:14Move.
08:15Move.
08:17Move.
08:17Move.
08:20Move.
08:22Move.
08:30Move.
08:32Move.
08:32Evelyn.
08:32Two minutes out.
08:33Open the gate.
08:35Lyra.
08:36The pod's crashing.
08:37and there's
08:38something in the back
08:40Go!
09:12They're getting in!
09:48Plug it in
10:04Erase
10:18That's Ark One
10:26Lyra
10:28This world
10:30is 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
10:41a billion times, Lyra
10:43This is the first time
10:44I can actually touch you
10:58Save the crazy talk
11:00I need your firepower
11:02I need your firepower alive
11:10Evelyn
11:10What are you doing?
11:16Correcting an era, Lyra
11:23You were supposed to die on Ark One
11:25You were supposed to die on Ark One
11:26Sweetie
11:27You'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
12:24Or I'll take you with me
12:34My blood
12:36Is the only cure
12:37It'll make you faster
12:39Stronger
12:40But it comes with a leash
12:51Once you taste it
12:53You belong to the script
13:22The gift isn't free, Lyra
13:24My heart stops
13:26Your stops
13:27My pain
13:28Your pain
13:31Bad luck, Lyra
13:33You don't get to throw me away anymore
13:40What is this?
13:42A hallucination?
13:46No
13:46Rendering 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
14:16In this world
14:17The 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
14:41The whole world glitches
14:46If this is just a play
14:48Then I'm walking off the stage
15:08Now tell me
15:09Who are you?
15:11No more reader bullshit
15:13Give me a name
15:14I can actually understand
15:24You can call me Oreo
15:29Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra
15:32paper
15:33I can tell you
15:33I can tell you
15:36You're putting all your available
15:36in the White House
15:49Don't
15:49Excuse me
15:49you're soient
15:53Why's this
15:53That
15:53does
15:53You knew
15:55That
15:55How
16:03Don't bleed out. I need you functional.
16:33Damn it.
16:47Control your heartbeat. You're distracting me.
16:50Then cut it out, Lyra.
16:53Because as long as we're tethered, every time you touch yourself, I feel it.
16:59So tell me, how do you expect me to calm down?
17:10Pain is a great way to kill a distraction.
17:13Welcome to my world, Oriol.
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 Lyra.
17:55Initiating timeline reset.
18:09Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:17Target locked.
18:38Step away from him.
18:41Now.
18:43He's aim is the starter.
18:45He is the reset trigger.
18:48One touch.
18:51And you're dead again.
18:57Lyra.
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.
19:45Chase.
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?
20:51Watching us bleed?
20:52Watching us scream while you readers just turn the page?
20:56No.
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.
21:27The mark.
21:28It burns.
21:39It's not the proxy.
21:41Something else found us.
21:43It burns.
21:45It burns.
22:01It burns.
22:03It burns.
22:04It burns.
22:06It burns.
22:06It burns.
22:10It burns.
22:10It burns.
22:11It burns.
22:11It burns.
22:13It 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?
23:37You've been crying, haven't you?
23:45Give it back to me!
23:51Fatal error.
23:53Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:57Initiating physical purge.
24:16You didn't just destroy that thing.
24:19You reversed time.
24:20Tell the system.
24:21The purge is cancelled.
24:22You're not a world.
24:29Beautiful.
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.
25:00keep up the proxy is hardwired to the core she won't talk i'll make her

28:26Oh, my God.
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.
29:22A 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!
30:50No!

32:12Hold on
32:36It's hard code
32:38Brute force won't dent this
32:39It 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
33:04You held the pen
33:06Now look at you
33:07A 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
33:26Your writing is absolute garbage
33:31Delete
33:33You love her pain so much, Orion
33:36Fine
33:36But she
33:37Won't remember you
33:59Protocol

41:01?
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.
41:42Ava Petra.
41:48Ava Petra.
41:55Ava Petra.
42:14Security breach. Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:23Let go, please.
42:36I 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.
42:58As you command, my god.
43:11You're bleeding.
43:13Don't talk.
43:18Anomaly restored.
43:20You put me in a box.
43:22You put him on a cross.
43:23Now I erased you.
43:33Your mistake was keeping us both alive.
43:44Combat capability exceeds all parameters.
43:48Full suppression.
43:52Here's the only parameter.
44:03You wore my mother's face.
44:05She was a skill 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.
47:17Alright.
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, using 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. The whole system.
48:32Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:43You built this world. You know how to break it.
48:48I don't have a core anymore.
48:51You gave me your blood once. Now 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.
49:23This 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. You 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...
49:47...or they make something new.
50:01Now you.
50:11That can't, that power, doesn't.
50:20We're close.
50:25If I can't have this world, no one can.
50:31Page 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.
51:40Not letting go.
51:42No.
51:45Yeah!
51:47Yeah!
51:52No!
