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.

06:34intruder detected
06:36termination 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!
07:33Laya, 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. I'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. And there's something in the back of it.
08:33Go!
09:05They're getting in.
09:06They're getting in.
09:20They're getting in.
09:42Plug it in.
09:57Erase.
10:10That's Arc 1.
10:18Liar.
10:20This world is a comic book.
10:25A 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, 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!
11:24Don't you dare use her voice!
11:50Get up!
11:51I don't have time to die here, and you're not dragging me down!
12:07It's the Reaper's poison.
12:08You 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.
12:30It'll make you faster, stronger.
12:33But it comes with a leash.
12:44Once you taste it, you belong to the script.
13:14The gift isn't free, Lyra.
13:17My heart stops, yours stops.
13:20My pain, your pain.
13:23Bad luck, Lyra.
13:26You don't get to throw me away anymore.
13:33What is this?
13:35A hallucination?
13:38No.
13:39Rendering failure.
13:40She's deleting this panel.
13:48Lyra.
13:49You were never supposed to see this.
13:52Broken pieces have to be recycled.
14:05Stop following the rules.
14:07In this world, the glitch is your weapon.
14:14You said he sees the most important plug-in, right?
14:29I knew it!
14:30You can't afford to let him die!
14:33If 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.
15:02Who 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.
15:38Welcome to the real wasteland.
15:55Don't bleed out.
15:56I need you functional.
16:25Dammit.
16:39Control your heartbeat.
16:41You're distracting me.
16:43Then cut it out, Lyra.
16:45Because as long as we're tethered,
16:47every time you touch yourself, I feel it.
16:51So tell me.
16:53How do you expect me to calm down?
17:02Pain is a great way to kill a distraction.
17:05Welcome 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?
17:24Narrative correction.
17:25She's sending a reset switch.
17:42Jess.
17:44Anomaly detected.
17:46Target, Lyra.
17:47Initiating timeline reset.
18:01Touch her and I'll incinerate your code.
18:10Target locked.
18:11No facing.
18:12No facing.
18:30A wise nannybotham on this.
18:31Step away from him.
18:33Now.
18:35He's aim as the starter.
18:37He is the reset trigger
18:40One touch
18:43And you're dead again
18:49Lila, run
18:51I can't
19:06Error
19:07Unauthorized target
19:11Don't look at him
19:12Look at me
19:19Lila, take the shot
19:20Don't let me do this
19:38Chase
19:40He's down
19:41But the grid is tearing apart
19:43We have to move
20:02Drop it, you'll kill us both
20:04Good
20:05The virus can't run on dead hosts
20:10See if a hard reboot works on God
20:31Jace tore his own arm off
20:34He was crying
20:35You 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
20:48While you readers just turn the page
20:59Does this feel fake to you?
21:01In a billion timelines
21:03You're the only one who didn't surrender
21:05You fought
21:06You fought
21:07You bled
21:08You killed
21:09I didn't come here
21:11To watch a drawing
21:12Lyra
21:12I came for you
21:23The mark
21:24It burns
21:35It's not the proxy
21:37Something else found us
21:39No
21:40No
22:27It hurts, Lila.
22:30Why do we always have to die?
22:34Every single time.
22:46Who are you?
22:47What are you?
22:49I am you, who died a billion times.
22:58Is this another trick?
23:01Another simulation?
23:03Answer me.
23:04Answer 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, is 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!
23:42No!
23:47Fatal error.
23:50Anomaly excludes threshold.
23:53Initiating physical purge.
24:12You didn't just destroy that thing, you reversed time!
24:15Tell the system, the 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, 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.
25:34Who wrote this script?
25:35Give me a name.
25:44You want to find the author, Lyra?
25:47Ask 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.
26:20You 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.
26:53As you wish.
26:56My God.
26:57Author privileges completely overvidered.
27:00Initiating protocol blank canvas.
27:11Formatting sector 7.
27:16Stand up.
27:26Show them what a God's weapon looks like, Orion.
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.
28:26Terrible.
28:28So...
28:29...
28:33...
28:34...
28:36...
28:37...
28:39...
28:53Sloppy. You let it touch you.
29:00Punish me later.
29:05Brace for impact.
29:15The system re-writ the core logic. It's trying to bury us in the sketch layer.
29:20A sketch is meant to be erased.
29:29Deploying Ultimate Anchor. Eradicate the anomalies.
29:39Targets locked.
30:06He is a dead node. End him.
30:09He 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.
30:34If my life is a script...
30:38Then I choose how it ends!
30:40Jake!
30:43Jake!
30:45No!
30:46No!
30:46No!
30:48No!
30:52No!
30:53No!
30:57No!
31:01No!
31:11I don't need that!
31:12I don't need that anymore anymore!
31:14No.
31:15It's better!
31:15I've missed it...
31:16I couldn't get it.
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.
32:38Then 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.
33:09How pathetic. It'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!
33:30You love her pain so much, Orion. Fine. But she... won't remember you.
33:58Protocol memory wipe. Enjoy your new genre, Lyra. A perfect, painless utopia.
34:11Lyra.
34:12Lyra.
34:14Don't close your eyes.
34:24Good morning, sweetie. Breakfast in bed for the beautiful bride.
34:30Morning, 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.
34:50Sigh.
34:59Lyra. What are you doing? You're ruining the skin.
35:02I 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.
35:52I 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?
36:35Why can't I?
36:44It's Danke.
36:44Lyra, you're zoning out on me.
36:54Lyra.
36:59Stand up, you're white as a shield
37:02It's the pain in my chest
37:03I can feel his pain
37:06It's a hologram, an art proust
37:08You're probably dehydrated
37:11Stay put, I'll go grab some water
37:13Who are you?
37:15Why, why can I feel your pain?
37:19It's just a show
37:20Go home
37:31Go home
38:08Hey
38:08You shouldn't be here
38:14Who are you?
38:16It's just an immersive show, miss
38:18A piece of art
38:24Go home
38:25The rain will ruin your clothes
38:34You're lying
38:41I'm not
38:42Just go, please
38:46Please
38:54Please
38:59Priest, 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
39:31What is that?
39:34Medicine
39:35For your nerves
39:37Stage 2 discharge initiating
39:48This wedding
39:49This dress
39:50All of it
39:51All of it
39:51It's fake
39:52It's fake
39:52He's real
39:53That pain is real
39:54You're confused
39:57Drink the medicine
39:58Let it pass
40:01It's fake
40:05This place
40:06Lyra, do not walk out of this church
40:09Watch
40:10Watch me
40:22Lyra, return to the ceremony
40:33Citizen, please remain calm
40:36Emotional anomalies
40:37Are temporary
40:38Emotional anomalies
40:38I don't know.
41:13This 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.
41:31No.
41:45No.
41:46No.
41:47No.
41:50No.
41:56No.
41:57No.
41:57No.
41:58No.
42:10No.
42:12No.
42:13No.
42:13Security breach.
42:14Unauthorized entity within perimeter.
42:17No.
42:19No.
42:21No.
42:22Let go.
42:23Please.
42:23Please.
42:35I was the author.
42:37You 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.
43:47Full suppression.
44:00You 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?
45:00No.
45:01No.
45:01You I'm keeping.
45:02The author's pet gets a special ending.
45:10The 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.
45:41Now.
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.
46:11That shouldn't be there.
46:33Cut the link.
46:35What?
46:37The 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 gonna hold.
47:29I know.
47:32I 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, using the gene bank as an anchor.
48:09How long?
48:11Longer than we have.
48:19That object is not in the database.
48:23Where did you get it?
48:26He's gonna throw everything he has left.
48:29The whole system.
48:31Once 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.
49:04Then 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.
49:30You 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.
49:45Or they make something new.
49:48Cause I'll be it.
49:58You built the tether.
50:00Now you.
50:01You built the tether.
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.
51:09I can't do this alone.
51:32Go!
51:34We go together!
51:37Hold on.
51:38Not letting go.
51:40No!
51:44Meow!
52:29Still 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.
53:17The light is just a double-pressant.
53:18Oh no, it's not a giant, I've lost it.
53:38It's simple.
53:47Say it
53:49My God
53:51Kiss me
54:17Book tour starts today
54:19I know
54:20You nervous?
