00:07Thrusters 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.
00:40Figure all power to the top.
00:40Alright.
00:59So if there are any challenges coming to me, we can't handle the powerografia thing.
01:18the hull
01:19the gravity
01:20how did you do that
01:22what are you
01:23someone who refuses to accept this ending
01:29what are you doing
01:30to rewrite your ending
01:49sector four
01:51but this was three years ago
02:08I don't know
02:33I don't know
02:33I don't know
02:33I don't know
02:33I don't know
02:33what's going to happen
02:34no
02:43Jha
02:48out
02:48and
03:00Evelyn, look at me. It's really you. You're alive. You're really alive. I thought I lost
03:05you forever. Lyra, what are you doing here? No, no. Listen to me. We made it. You're
03:12alive. What happened to you? I will never let you die again. You didn't just destroy
03:24that thing. You reversed time. Who the hell are you? I'm asking you, what the hell are
03:40you? I'm the one giving you a choice. Keep that gun on me and Jace dies in 2 minutes
03:5014 seconds. Jace, no, he's at the 7th line. He's been ambushed. Save him now or watch
04:03him die. Jace!
04:26Jace, look at me. Please stay with me. Lyra? Is it really you? I saved him. But if you
04:41shed 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
04:53he's too heavy. Lead the way. Target locked. Lyra, purge protocol activated.
05:22The pod's slowing it down. But only temporarily. We need a military grade quantum battery. Otherwise
05:29he dies in two hours. That mech out's outside. Its target is you. You change the timeline.
05:41It'll be waiting at the armory. Then I'll kill it first.
05:53Don't ever touch me like that again. Monomolecular wire. You'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 Jake.
06:19Because I watched you die there. Over and over again.
06:35Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood? What the hell are you? Take the battery. Be ready to move.
07:13Move.
07:28You're bleeding. Can you still walk? Move.
07:33Laya. The bunker shield is failing. 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.
08:12I don't leave useful assets behind to die. Move.
08:24Evelyn. Two minutes out. Open the gate.
08:27Lyra. The pod's crashing. And there's something in the bedroom.
08:32Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
09:02Go. Go. Go.
09:05They're getting in.
09:16Are you ready?
09:18Yeah?
09:19If you're running away.
09:22That's good.
09:27They're getting in.
09:28Well.
09:28You can only go over here.
09:28In the room.
09:28Let's.
09:31I'll see too.
09:41Plug it in.
09:57Erase.
10:10That's Arc One.
10:18Liar. This world is a comic book.
10:24A comic book? What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind? Who exactly are you?
10:30A reader. Someone who watched you die a billion times, Lyra. This is the first time I can actually touch
10:37you.
10:50Save the crazy talk. I need your firepower alive.
11:02Evelyn, what are you doing?
11:09Correcting an era, Lyra.
11:15You were supposed to die on Arc One, 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! And you're not dragging me down!
12:06It's the Reaper's poison. You have 30 seconds before your heart stops.
12:15Then save me. Or I'll take you with me.
12:27My blood is the only cure. It'll make you faster, stronger. But it comes with a leash.
12:44Once you taste it, you belong to the script.
13:14The gift isn't free, Lyra.
13:16My heart 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 sees 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.
14:42No.
15:00Now tell me, who are you? No more reader bullshit.
15:04it. Give me a name I can actually understand. You can call me Aureal. Welcome to the real
15:22wasteland, Lyra.
15:55Don't bleed out. I need you functional.
16:25Damn it.
16:39Control your heartbeat. You're distracting me.
16:42Then cut it out, Lyra. Because as long as we're tethered, every time you touch yourself,
16:49I feel it. So tell me, how do you expect me to calm down?
17:02Pain is a great way to kill a distraction. Welcome to my world, Aureal.
17:14The agent is patching the system. She realized pure force can't kill us.
17:21So what's her plan B? Narrative correction. She's sending a reset switch.
17:41Jess.
17:44Anomaly detected. Target Lyra. Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:10Target locked.
18:30Step away from him. Now.
18:35He's aim is the starter. He is the reset trigger. One touch. And you're dead again.
18:49Lyra. Run. I can't.
19:11Don't look at him. Look at me.
19:20Don't look at him. Look at me.
19:38Chase.
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.
20:35You said this is a comic book. A script. So his tears? Was it all just ink on a page?
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.
21:09I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra. I came for you.
21:22The mark. It burns.
21:35It's not the proxy. Something else found us.
21:58It's not the proxy.
21:58It's not the proxy.
21:59It's not the proxy.
22:00It's not the proxy.
22:10I have to return.
22:12I was going to try to use a cave.
22:12It's not the proxy.
22:26It hurts, Lila.
22:30Why do we always have to die?
22:34Every single time.
22:46Who are you?
22:47What are you?
22:48I am you.
22:50Who died a billion times.
22:58Is this another trick?
23:00Another simulation?
23:02Answer 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.
23:28It's 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.
23:53Initiating physical purge.
24:12You didn't just destroy that thing.
24:14You reversed time.
24:16Tell the system.
24:17The purge is cancelled.
24:29You rewrote your own code.
24:33Can you walk?
24:34I'm going back to Sector 7.
24:36To kill Evelyn?
24:37No.
24:39To ask her who wrote this script.
24:43And then...
24:44I'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.
25:34Who wrote this script?
25:35Give me a name.
25:43You 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?
26:14Playing 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?
26:26To 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.
26:36You 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.
26:56My God.
26:57Author privileges completely overvidered.
27:00Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:02World Weish in progress.
27:04World Weish in progress.
27:09World Weish in progress.
27:09Protocol blank canvas.
27:10Initiated.
27:11Formatning sector 7.
27:16Stand up.
27:26Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orien.
27:29Kill them all.
27:33As you command
27:54Use the pain
28:09The physics engine is breaking gravity is about to flip
28:19Then let's fall upwards
28:50Ha ha ha ha ha
28:53Sloppy, you let it touch you
29:00Punish me later
29:05Brace for impact
29:15The system re-writ the core logic
29:17It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer
29:20A sketch is meant to be erased
29:28Deploying ultimate anchor
29:30Eradicate the anomalies
29:38Targets locked
30:06He is a dead node, end 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
30:40Jake!
30:45Roar!
30:57Oh, my God.
31:30We have a tower to climb.
31:33Gravity's gone to hell. We have to jump through the debris.
31:42Then jump.
31:48Warning. Unauthorized heat approaching the core. Accelerating deletion.
32:10Hold 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.
33:08How 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.
33:58Protocol memory wipe. Enjoy your new genre, Lyra.
34:01A perfect, painless utopia.
34:11Lyra.
34:13Don'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.
34:59Lila, what are you doing? You're ruining the skin.
35:01I don't know. It just itches. It feels like something heavy is supposed to be there.
35:11What are you doing here?
35:30You 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.
36:13Lyra.
36:15Why can't I?
36:30Why can't I?
36:42Why can't I?
36:44Lyra.
36:45You're zoning out on me.
36:54Lyra.
36:59Stand up. You're white as a shield.
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 can I feel your pain?
37:19It's just a show. Go home.
37:37Oh, my God.
38:08Hey.
38:09You shouldn't be here.
38:14Who are you?
38:16It's just an immersive show, miss. A piece of art.
38:24Go home. The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:34You're lying.
38:40I'm not.
38:43Just go. Please.
38:54Please.
39:00Priest, do you, Lyra, take this man in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?
39:19The dress is stained. It's ruined.
39:25You're having another episode.
39:28Drink this. It will fix everything.
39:31What is that?
39:35What is that?
39:35What is that?
39:36For your nerves.
39:37Stage 2 discharge initiating.
39:48This wedding. This wedding. This dress. All of it. It's fake.
39:52He's real. That pain is real. You're confused.
39:57Drink the medicine. Let it pass.
40:01It's fake.
40:02It's fake.
40:05This place.
40:07Lyra, do not walk out of this church.
40:09Watch me.
40:10Let it pass.
40:21Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:33Citizen, please remain calm.
40:36Emotional anomalies are temporary.
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.
41:30Execute.
42:13Security breach.
42:14Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:21Let go.
42:23Please.
42:34I was the author.
42:36PYRA!
42:46You wrote me a billion deaths.
42:50And I witnessed every single one.
42:54Don't die.
42:55I'm not done with you yet.
42:57As you command, my God.
43:09You're bleeding.
43:11Don't.
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.
43:49Here'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.
44:42There's a hole in my page.
44:49He's burned his core for you.
44:51Jace burned his battery for you.
44:54Evelyn 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.
45:18Well, 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.
46:07It's real.
46:09That's where we're heading.
46:12That shouldn't be there.
46:32Cut the link.
46:35What?
46:36The 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.
47:00You burned your core for me.
47:04So don't you dare tell me to leave you behind.
47:15All right.
47:17Together!
47:19Together.
47:28It's going to hold.
47:29I know.
47:38It's stopped.
47:42The gene bank.
47:46It 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.
48:24Where did you get it?
48:26He's going to throw everything he has left.
48:29The whole system.
48:30Once that hits, the gene bank won't hold.
48:41You built this world.
48:44You 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.
49:49Or they make something new.
50:23If I can't have this world,
50:26no one can.
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.
51:10I can't do this alone.
51:32Go.
51:34We go together.
51:37Hold on.
51:38Not letting go.
51:40We go.t
51:42Es if you bleed. Ah!
51:44Ah!
51:47Ah!
51:48Ah!
51:48Ah!
51:50Ah!
51:51Ah!
51:52Ah!
51:52Ah!
51:54Ah!
51:55Ah!
51:56Ah!
51:56Ah!
51:59Ah!
52:19I don't know.
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, or it already happened.
52:48You're here. I'm here.
53:01The Arc 1 final transmission captured what scientists called an unidentified luminous event.
53:12The Arc 1 final transmission can be found.
53:17The Arc 1 final transmission can be found.
53:22So this is the Arc 2 final transmission, research.
53:32The Arc 1 final transmission can be found at the bottom.
53:34The Arc 1 final transmission can be found while scientists are not only alive.
53:38You
