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.
01:54I won't be doing this.
01:55I won't be doing this.
01:56I won't be doing this.
01:56No.
01:56No.
01:58No.
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.
03:11We made it. You're alive. What happened to you?
03:15I will never let you die again.
03:23You didn't just destroy that thing. You 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. Keep that gun on me, and Jates 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.
04:03No, he's at the 7th line.
04:30Lyra?
04:35Is 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. 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.
05:23But only temporarily.
05:25We need a military-grade quantum battery.
05:28Otherwise, he dies in 2 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.
05:55Mono-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?
06:18Nobody survived except me and Jake.
06:20Because I watched you die there.
06:22Over and over again.
06:34Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:40Termination authorized.
06:57Contruder detected.
06:58Golden blood?
06:59What the hell are you?
07:02Take the battery.
07:04Be ready to move.
07:28You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move!
07:33Lyra, 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 is breaking. Drop it. We need cover.
08:06Run.
08:07I'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 middle of it.
08:33Go!
08:35Go!
09:05They're getting in!
09:14And there's a trap.
09:17Ah!
09:18Ah!
09:19Ah!
09:22Ah!
09:25Ah!
09:26Ah!
09:28Ah!
09:31Ah!
09:38Ah!
09:40Ah!
09:41Plug it in.
09:57Erase.
10:10That's Arc 1.
10:18Liar.
10:21This world...
10:23is a comic book.
10:24A comic book? What are you talking about?
10:27Have you lost your mind? Who 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! Don't you dare use her voice!
11:50Get up! I don't have time to die here!
11:52And 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.
12:17Or I'll take you with me.
12:27My blood...
12:28is the only cure.
12:30It'll make you faster, stronger...
12:33but it comes with a leash.
12:44Once you taste it...
12:46you belong to the script.
13:14that we are allowed to save you.
13:17I'm stressed now,
13:18Your stops, yours stops. My pain, your pain.
13:23Bad luck, Lyra. You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:33What is this? A hallucination?
13:38No. Rendering failure. She's deleting this panel.
13:48Lyra, you were never supposed to see this. Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:05Stop following the rules. In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:14You said he's the most important plug-in, right?
14:29I knew it! You can't afford to let him die! If 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? No more reader bullshit.
15:05Give me a name I can actually understand.
15:16You can call me Aureol.
15:21Welcome to the real wasteland, Lyra.
15:40Come on.
15:42Come on.
15:43Come on.
15:45Come on.
15:47Come on.
15:55Don't bleed out. I need you functional.
16:25Damn 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.
16:50So tell me, how do you expect me to calm down?
17:02Pain is a great way to kill a distraction.
17:05Welcome to my world, Oriel.
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.
17:25She's sending a reset switch.
17:44Anomaly detected. Target Lila. Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:09Target locked.
18:30Step away from him. Now.
18:35He's aim is the starter. He is the reset trigger.
18:40One touch.
18:43And you're dead again.
18:45That's perfect.
18:48Lila.
18:50Run.
18:51I can't.
19:01Lila.
19:02Run.
19:05Error.
19:07Unauthorized target.
19:11Don't look at him. Look at me.
19:18Lila.
19:19Take the shot.
19:20Don't let me do this.
19:38Jace.
19:40He's down, but the grid is tearing apart. We have to move.
20:02Drop it. You'll kill us both.
20:04Good. The 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.
20:36You said this is a comic book.
20:38A script.
20:39So his tears?
20:41Was it all just ink on a page?
20:43Is this a joke to you?
20:45Watching us bleed?
20:47Watching us scream while you readers just turn the page?
20:59Does this feel fake to you?
21:01In a billion timelines, you're the only one who didn't surrender.
21:05You fought.
21:06You fought.
21:07You fought.
21:07You bled.
21:08You killed.
21:10I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra.
21:12I came for you.
21:22The mark!
21:24The mark!
21:25It burns!
21:35It's not the proxy.
21:37Something else found us.
21:39Something else found us.
22:10It hurts.
22:11not mine.
22:30While we know...
22:33No!
22:35I came for those.
22:35Even because we want to know them.
22:36dead spot тебя!
22:46Who are you?
22:47What are you?
22:48I am you, who died a billion times.
22:58Is this another trick?
23:00Another simulation?
23:03Answer me.
23:13So I'm supposed to fear this?
23:15My 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?
23:36No!
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!
24:16Tell the system.
24:17The purge is cancelled.
24:25Beautiful.
24:30You rewrote your own code.
24:33Can you walk?
24:34I'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?
25:35Give 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.
26:03You drew the Reapers.
26:05You scripted Evelyn to wear my mother's face.
26:08Lyra.
26:12Is it fun, Orien, playing God with our lives?
26:16Does it turn you on to watch us bleed?
26:18Ten billion times.
26:19You sat up there flipping the pages while I was torn apart in the dark.
26:23And now you drop down here playing the fucking hero to play the victim?
26:28I was the author.
26:30But I burned the script for you.
26:33I 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.
26:54As you wish.
26:55My God.
26:57Author privileges completely overbidored.
27:00Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:02World weish in progress.
27:04World weish in progress.
27:08Protocol blank canvas initiated.
27:11Formatning sector seven.
27:15Stand up.
27:26Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orien.
27:29Kill them all.
27:34As you command.
27:56Use the pain.
28:09The physics engine is breaking.
28:12Gravity is about to flip.
28:19Then let's fall upwards.
28:24Ha ha ha ha ha!
28:53Sloppy.
28:54You let it touch you.
29:00Punish me later.
29:05Brace for impact.
29:15The system rewrit the core logic.
29:17It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:20A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:29Deploying ultimate anchor.
29:30Eradicate the anomalies.
29:39Targets locked.
29:41Targets 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!
30:24Fight the code!
30:30We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins.
30:32Help me tear this out.
30:34If my life is a script...
30:38Then I choose how it ends!
30:41Jake!
30:44Come on!
31:10Wait!
31:30We have a tower to climb.
31:33Gravity's gone to hell.
31:34We have to jump through the debris.
31:42Then jump.
31:48Warning.
31:49Unauthorized heat approaching the core.
31:51Accelerating deletion.
32:10Hold on.
32:33It's hard code.
32:35Brute force won't dent this.
32:36It 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.
33:02You held the pen.
33:03Now look at you.
33:05A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash.
33:09How pathetic.
33:10It's better than sitting in the dark with you.
33:14Writing fake tears.
33:21So you're the one who wrote my billion deaths.
33:24Your writing is absolute garbage!
33:28Delete.
33:30You love her pain so much, Orion.
33:33Fine.
33:34But she...
33:35Won't remember you.
33:57Protocol, Memory Wipe.
33:59Enjoy your new genre, Lyra.
34:02A perfect, painless utopia.
34:11Lyra.
34:12Lyra.
34:13Don't close your eyes.
34:24Good morning, sweetie.
34:25Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride.
34:29Morning, Mom.
34:31I slept great.
34:32But my wrist feels weird.
34:36It looks perfect, Lyra.
34:38Not a single blemish.
34:39Yeah.
34:40It's just...
34:40It feels too light.
34:42Like I forgot to put on a watch or something.
34:45Look at you.
34:46Flawless.
34:47Jace is going to lose mind when he sees you.
34:59Lila, what are you doing?
35:00You're ruining the skin.
35:01I don't know.
35:03It just itches.
35:04It feels like something heavy is supposed to be there.
35:11What are you doing here?
35:30You look perfect.
35:34Thanks.
35:35This place is intense.
35:49I have the patch.
35:54It'll vanish in one second.
35:58No marks.
35:59That's much better.
36:03I need some air.
36:04I'm walking back.
36:12Lyra.
36:15Why can't I...
36:30Why can't I...
36:44Why can't I...
36:45Why can't I...
36:45Why can't I...
36:46Why can't I...
36:48Why can't I...
36:49Why can't I...
36:50Why can't I...
36:50Why can't I...
36:51Why can't I...
36:52Why can't I...
36:54Why can't I...
36:55Why can't I...
37:00Why can't I...
37:02Is 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.
37:33Oh, my God.
38:08Hey.
38:09You shouldn't be here.
38:14Who are you?
38:16It's just an immersive show, miss.
38:18A piece of art.
38:24Go home.
38:26The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:33You're lying.
38:40I'm not.
38:43Just go.
38:45Please.
38:54Please.
39:00Please.
39:00Priest, do you, Lyra, take this man
39:05in sickness and in health
39:07as long as you both shall live?
39:19The dress is stained.
39:21It's ruined.
39:26You're having another episode.
39:28Drink this.
39:30It will fix everything.
39:32What is that?
39:35Medicine for your nerves.
39:37Stage 2 discharge initiating.
39:48This wedding.
39:49This dress.
39:50All of it.
39:51It's fake.
39:52He's real.
39:53That pain is real.
39:55You're confused.
39:57Drink the medicine.
39:58Let it pass.
40:01It's fake.
40:05This place.
40:07Lyra, do not walk out of this church.
40:09Watch me.
40:22Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:33Citizen.
40:34Please remain calm.
40:36Emotional anomalies are temporary.
41:07I'm sorry.
41:12This exceeds standard anomaly parameters
41:18She is not supposed to remember how to fight
41:23She just stopped caring about your perfect script
41:28Final phase initiated, execute
41:53The final phase initiated, execute
41:54The final phase initiated, execute
41:54The final phase initiated, execute
42:12Security Breach. Unauthorized Entity Within Perimeter.
42:21Let go. Please.
42:32I was the author.
42:36Myra!
42:46You wrote me a billion deaths.
42:50And I witnessed every single one.
42:54Don't die. I'm not done with you yet.
42:57As you command, my god.
43:08You're bleeding.
43:11Don't.
43:16Anomaly 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.
44:04She 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.
44:37We'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.
45:33Why 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.
46:06It's real.
46:08It's real.
46:09That's where we're heading.
46:11That shouldn't be there.
46:13There's something down there.
46:15The next one.
46:16It's real.
46:16It's real.
46:27It's real.
46:28It's real.
46:31It's real.
46:32It's real.
46:33It's real.
46:33Cut the link.
46:36It's real.
46:36The next one.
46:37is hitting me. If we stay connected, it'll take you too. So what? So cut it loose. Take
46:47the gene bank. Get out. You got this far on your own. You don't need it now. You came
46:58into this page for me. You burned your core for me. So don't you dare tell me to leave
47:13you behind all right together together it's gonna hold I know
47:37it stopped. The gene bank. It was never loaded into his system. I designed the arc outside
47:52the comics database. He can't touch anything from there. Then we stay in the light.
48:05It's pulling the real world towards us using the gene bank as an anchor. How long?
48:11Longer than we have.
48:19That object is not in the database. Where did you get it? He's gonna throw everything
48:28he has left. The whole system. Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:41You built this world. You know how to break it. I don't have a core anymore. You gave me
48:50your blood once. Now give me whatever you have left.
48:58It's not enough.
49:04Then we give it everything. That's not part of the story.
49:26You built this world. You built the tether. You said it binds everything. So bind this.
49:36Not blood to blood. Power to power. If 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.
49:45Or they make something new.
49:59Now you.
50:10That can't. That power doesn't.
50:15That power doesn't. That power doesn't.
50:18We're close.
50:23If I can't have this world, no one can.
50:29Page zero.
50:46It 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.
51:08I can't do this alone.
51:31Go.
51:34We go together.
51:37Hold on.
51:38Not letting go.
51:41I can't do this alone.
51:47you know.
52:03To be a friend, please.
52:08I can't catch anything today.
52:08Will you be satisfied?
52:08There's a friend.
52:12Let's go together.
52:15Now you can.
52:28Still staring at it.
52:30Third week on the list.
52:37I sketched this out before we even moved in.
52:43So either I made it all up,
52:45or it already happened.
