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.
01:55No.
01:57No.
01:57Let's go.
02:28Let's go.
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. 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!
04:27Jace! Look at me! Please stay with me!
04:30Lyra?
04:34Is 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. But only temporarily. We need a military-grade quantum battery. Otherwise, he dies in two
05:29hours.
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.
05:55Monomolecular 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 survive except me and Jake.
06:20Because I watched you die there. Over and over again.
06:34Intruder detected. Termination authorized.
06:57Golden blood what the hell are you take the battery be ready to move
07:28you're bleeding can you still walk move
07:33Laia the bunker shield is failing there's another reaper
07:37another one it'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
08:24Evelyn two minutes out open the gate
08:26Lyra the pods crashing and there's something in the better

10:10That's Arc One
10:18Liar
10:20This world
10:22Is a comic book
10:24A comic book?
10:26What are you talking about?
10:27Have you lost your mind?
10:28Who exactly are you?
10:30A reader
10:32Someone who watched you die a billion times, Liar
10:35This is the first time I can actually touch you
10:51Save the crazy talk
10:52I need your firepower alive
11:02Evelyn, what are you doing?
11:09Correcting an era, Liar
11:14You were supposed to die on Arc One, sweetie
11:20You're ruining the story
11:23Shut up
11:24Don'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
12:45You belong to the script
13:14The gift isn't free, Lyra
13:16My heart stops
13:18Yours stops
13:19My pain
13:21Your pain
13:23Bad luck, Lyra
13:25You don't get to throw me away anymore
13:32What is this?
13:35A hallucination?
13:38No
13:39Rendering failure
13:40She's deleting this panel
13:48Lyra
13:48You were never supposed to see this
13:51Broken pieces have to be recycled
14:05Stop following the rules
14:07In this world
14:08The glitch is your weapon
14:14You said he's the most important plug-in, right?
14:29I knew it
14:30You can't afford to let him die
14:32If he's in pain
14:34The whole world glitches
14:39If this is just a play
14:40Then I'm walking off the stage
15:00Now tell me
15:01Who are you?
15:03No 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
15:41You can call me Aureol
15:42You can call me Aureol
15:42You can call me Aureol
15:42You can call me Aureol
15:43You can call me Aureol
15:43You can call me Aureol
15:43You can call me Aureol
15:44You can call me Aureol
15:44You can call me Aureol
15:44You can call me Aureol
15:44You can call me Aureol
15:45You can call me Aureol
15:45You can call me Aureol
15:45You can call me Aureol
15:45You can call me Aureol
15:46You can call me Aureol
15:46You can call me Aureol
15:47You can call me Aureol
15:49You can call me Aureol
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. Welcome to my world, Aureol.
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. She's sending a reset switch.
17:44Anomaly detected. Target Lila. Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:10Target locked.
18:30Step away from him.
18:32Now.
18:35He's aim is the starter.
18:37He is the reset trigger.
18:40One touch.
18:43And you're dead again.
18:45That's perfect.
18:49Lila.
18:50Run.
18:51I can't...
19:11Don't look at him.
19:12Look at me.
19:13Don't look at him.
19:16Look at me.
19:18Lila.
19:19Take the shot.
19:20Don't let me do this.
19:37Chase.
19:40He's down.
19:41But the grid is tearing apart.
19:43We have to move.
20:02Drop it.
20:03You'll kill us both.
20:04Good.
20:05The virus can't run on dead hosts.
20:10See if a hard reboot works on God.
20:12No!
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 bled.
21:08You killed.
21:10I didn't come here to watch a drawing, Lyra.
21:12I came for you.
21:22The mark!
21:24It burns!
21:35It's not the proxy.
21:37Something else found us.
21:39It burns!
21:41It burns!
21:47It burns!
21:54It burns!
21:59It burns!
22:00It burns!
22:01It burns!
22:02It burns!
22:06It burns!
22:07It burns!
22:08It burns!
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?
23:40Give it back to me!
23:47Fatal error.
23:50Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:52Initiating physical purge.
24:12You didn't just destroy that thing.
24:14You reversed time.
24:16Tell the system.
24:17The purge is cancelled.
24:20The purge is cancelled.
24:24Beautiful.
24:30You rewrote your own code.
24:33Can you walk?
24:34I'm going back to Sector 7.
24:36To kill Evelyn?
24:38No.
24:39To ask her who wrote this script.
24:43And then...
24:45I'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.
25:43You 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, Orion?
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.
26:37You 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.
26:56My God.
26:57Author privileges completely over-videred.
27:00Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:02World weish in progress.
27:04World weish in progress.
27:08Protocol blank canvas initiated.
27:11Formatting sector seven.
27:15Stand up.
27:26Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orion.
27:29Kill them all.
27:34As you command.
27:37As you command.
27:55Use the pain.
27:57Use the pain.
28:00Use the pain.
28:09The physics engine is breaking.
28:12Gravity is about to flip.
28:19Then let's fall upwards.
28:24Job.
28:38Yeah.
28:39Nine.
28:40High.
28:44Cheat.
28:45Chi.
28:49American.
28:49Cyber.
28:50Six.
28:50All weara.
28:50You.
28:51Say.
28:51All we are.
28:53Sloppy. You let it touch you.
29:01Punish me later. Brace for impact.
29:15The system re-writ the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:19A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:28Deploying ultimate anchor. Eradicate 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! Fight the code!
30:30We grew up in the Sector 4 ruins. Help me tear this out.
30:33If my life is a script...
30:38Then I choose how it ends!
30:40Jake!
30:41Jake!
30:45No!
30:46No!
30:46No!
30:49No!
30:52No!
30:53Oh, 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.
31:49Warning. Unauthorized heat approaching the core. Accelerating deletion.
32:09Hold 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, Orion. You held the pen. Now look at you. A stray dog wearing a glitch's leash.
33:09How 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.
33:57Protocol memory wipe. Enjoy your new genre, Lyra. A perfect, painless utopia.
34:12Lyra, don't close your eyes.
34:23Good 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?
35:31You look perfect.
35:34Thanks. This place is intense.
35:49I 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.
36:12Lyra.
36:15Why can't I?
36:30Why can't I?
36:35Why can't I?
36:40Why can't I?
36:45You're zoning out on me.
36:46Why can't I?
36:54Why can't I?
36:55Lyra.
36:55Why can't I leave it for this space?
37:02Why can't I?
37:02Leyra.
37:02the pain in my chest. I can feel his pain. It's a hologram, an art Proust. You're probably
37:09dehydrated. Stay put. I'll go grab some water. Who are you? Why, why can I feel your pain?
37:19It's just a show. Go home.
37:32Oh, my God.
38:08Hey. You shouldn't be here.
38:14Who are you? It's just an immersive show, miss. A piece of art.
38:24Go home. The rain will ruin your clothes.
38:33You're lying.
38:40I'm not. Just go. Please.
38:54Please.
38:55Please.
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. Drink this. It will fix everything.
39:31What is that?
39:34Medicine. For your nerves. Stage 2 discharge initiating.
39:48This wedding. This dress. All of it. It's fake. He's real. That pain is real. You're confused.
39:57Drink the medicine. Let it pass.
40:01It's fake. This place.
40:07Lyra, do not walk out of this church. Watch me.
40:22Lyra, return to the ceremony.
40:33Citizen. Please. Remain calm. Emotional anomalies are temporary.
40:38quarry.
40:54Two leader.
40:55Oh, God.
40:55Oh.
40:59Oh, God.
40:59Oh, God.
41:03Ooh, God.

42:32I was the author
42:36You wrote me a billion deaths
42:49And 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
43:33Was keeping us both alive
43:42Combat capability exceeds all parameters
43:45Full suppression
43:50Here's the only parameter
44:01You wore my mother's face
44:03She was a skin for the proxy
44:05Nothing 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
44:53Evelyn is in pieces because of you
44:56And for what?
44:57If you're going to wipe me, get it over with
44:58Wipe you?
44:59No
45:00You I'm keeping
45:01The author's pet gets a special ending
45:17Well shit
45:29You tore a hole in his page
45:31He can't undo that
45:32Why 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
46:02That'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
46:33Cut the link
46:35What?
46:37The wipe is hitting me
46:39If we stay connected
46:40If we stay connected
46:40It'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
46:59You burned your core for me
47:03So don't you dare tell me
47:05To leave you behind
47:15All right
47:17Together
47:18Together
47:28It's gonna hold
47:31It's gonna hold
47:31I know
47:37It 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 gonna throw everything he has left
48:28The whole system
48:30Once that hits
48:31The gene bank won't hold
48:41You built this world
48:43You know how to break it
48:46I don't have a core anymore
48:48You gave me your blood once
48:50Now give me whatever you have left
48:58It's not enough
49:03Then we give it everything
49:05That's not part of the story
49:13He's not stopping
49:17Neither are we
49:21This isn't enough
49:22Not even close
49:24I don't have a core
49:26I can't give you the kind of power
49:28That 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
49:41Into the tether
49:42And you push your dark energy in
49:44From the other end
49:45At the same time
