ARQ Page #4

---

And now Sonny. Sh*t.

Data's still the same.

Loops begin and end at the same time.

Then everything resets.

Why doesn't the data also reset?

The time logs are housed

in the ARQ's core structure, above the...

fuel cells.

The loop ends at 9:25 'cause that's

when the power source runs out.

When the... the fuel cells go dead?

When the loop resets,

the fuel cells are still charged.

The ARQ isn't producing unlimited energy.

It's just using the same energy.

Okay, that's great, but what about Sonny?

Sh*t.

We stop Sonny

before he calls in the ZMPs.

No sign of Sonny.

We should go while we have the chance.

- And take the ARQ to the Bloc.

- Oh, come on.

- Just hear me out.

- No.

Any battle the Bloc loses with the ARQ,

they'll be able to loop back in time

and fight again...

until they get it right, until we win.

- You don't know that.

- Neither do you.

But if Torus gets the ARQ...

they'll be unstoppable.

Torus can't get the ARQ,

but neither can the Bloc.

You would rather keep it to yourself.

You haven't changed.

- Still selfish and...

- I'm selfish?

All I care about is you.

All you care about is the Bloc.

Ren, there is a war on.

I don't have time for us.

Then what are you fighting for?

The ARQ is dangerous in the wrong hands.

I don't trust the Bloc.

Then trust me.

Look, if Sonny gets me before I get him...

He won't.

You can't let him take the ARQ.

You have to destroy it.

How?

Enter the self-destruct prompt

into the user ID.

It'll wipe the system,

melt the circuit boards,

the cylinder will spin out of control.

Everything will be lost.

What's the prompt?

- This is a last resort.

- I know.

What's the prompt?

Just before we were separated,

I gave you a code word.

- You mean before you left me.

- Do you remember?

I remember you acting paranoid.

Hannah, I was trying to warn you.

Sky.

Hannah, open the door!

Hannah!

You checked the wrong pocket.

- Mobius Common.

- Identify yourself.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Ouroboros forty-six

clear niner-four.

Request recon crush-down

for Operation Riverrun. Over.

Triangulating coordinates.

- You don't know what you're doing.

- Oh, you got that right.

I was ordered

to recover an energy turbine.

Apparently, it's a time machine.

ZMP fiver-Delta is in proximity.

Drop time imminent.

Copy. Out.

You're nothing to Torus.

An expendable pawn.

Like you are to the Bloc?

If Torus gets the ARQ, they'll kill

millions more than they already have.

People have been killing each other

since the dawn of time.

Yeah.

Because of people like you.

You misunderstand me.

This war kills us all.

I don't want that.

So you're giving the ARQ

to the bastards who started the war.

Better that someone wins

than everybody dies.

What's the login?

Sky.

Sky.

We've been here before.

How does it end?

You shoot me in the face.

- Well, I guess history does repeat.

- Okay. Okay.

Just...

I'll shut it down.

Why didn't you destroy the ARQ?

We need help.

We need to tell Grimm.

- We tried that. It didn't work.

- We try again.

Do the same thing,

expect different results?

Do you have a better idea?

Hey, he wasn't moving

for a second. It was crazy.

Sonny saved your life, man.

You were being electrocuted, dude.

You were like...

He was crazy.

He didn't hesitate.

He just jumped in, kicked you off.

Now you're back.

You all right?

Just dj vu.

All right, change of plans?

This is it.

What about the target?

Is he here?

We gotta disable that

before we take him down.

Why?

How well do you know that Cuz guy?

I don't. He's Sonny's guy.

He's quiet. He didn't say much.

You're sure this is safe?

- Ready?

- Yeah.

Almonds?

Cyanide.

The ARQ is speeding up.

The faster it spins,

the faster time moves.

Why are we doing this?

Don't be mad now.

They'll die before the ARQ resets.

Okay? It'll work.

In the last loop, before the ARQ reset...

What? What happened?

It's not as if something happened...

it's more that everything

stopped happening.

Hannah, the ARQ is dangerous.

You should have destroyed it.

And let you die?

It's safe.

Cyanide did this?

No. Sonny did this.

Were the loops making him crazy?

No. No, he probably did this

just to slow us down.

Because ZMPs are coming.

We gotta move.

Okay, I'll download the data

and dismantle the ARQ.

And take it to the Bloc.

- Hannah, not this sh*t!

- Ren, wha...

We can end the war.

What? A few rebels defeating

the largest corporation on Earth?

Yes, it can happen.

Torus has standing armies, okay?

Fighter drones, ZMPs, f***ing nukes!

And the Bloc would have the ARQ.

- Forever the idealist.

- Forever the pessimist.

Realist, okay? Evidence and facts,

not wishful thinking.

- I call it hope.

- When did you become so naive?

Oh, God damn it!

F*** you!

Oh, my God.

What?

Ren?

Look.

Listen carefully. Torus... Hannah!

Torus...

- I don't remember that.

- Neither do I.

This was recorded

just before the loop resets.

The crack.

It's different.

- What does it mean?

- I don't know.

Oh, sh*t!

ZMPs.

- We gotta get out of here.

- Okay. Okay.

- Grab scrips, supplies...

- Yep.

I'll lock it down.

There's something in his mouth.

Our code word.

- What?

- Sky.

No! Hannah, don't move!

No! No. Sh*t!

No. No.

No. No. No. F***.

Come on, Hannah.

Hannah, come on, breathe.

Breathe.

Hannah.

Hannah, come on.

Come on.

Come here.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

You okay?

What happened?

I'm sorry about what I said.

I was wrong.

It's okay.

Stop! Stop.

What? No, don't!

Where's Sonny?

Where is he?

There goes the plan.

Sonny just stopped Cuz

from being electrocuted, didn't he?

Did you tell him?

No. Well...

sort of.

- What's that mean?

- Sonny and Cuz are mercs.

Come on.

Torus sent him.

They want Renton's machine.

- That thing in the garage?

- Yes.

What about it?

It loops time.

We've been reliving the same day

over and over.

Oh, brother!

If you don't help us, we're all gonna die.

Us? Liar.

No!

I remember.

Prove it.

Grimm, what do you remember?

I had a dj vu and Sonny shot me.

- Then you, too.

- Right.

- So this is for real?

- Yes.

You gonna help us?

What do we do?

You all are sick with the kuru virus,

you know that?

Quiet.

Sonny shot you because you were aware.

So?

If he knew you were aware,

why would he send you to get us?

Sonny would expect him to betray him.

What?

You two really are mercs.

Go on. Kneel down.

Kneel down!

Kneel down.

Down on your...

No. No, not you.

Everyone kneel but you.

You sit down.

Go to hell.

Now, at the risk of repeating myself,

what's the goddamn login?

Don't f***ing tell him.

No! Don't! Don't!

September 19.

September one-nine.

Enough! September 19!

Stop.

September one-nine.

Well, isn't that romantic?

How do I disable it?

Command F6.

Now go touch it.

Then I'll throw you.

It's safe.

Oh, will you look at that?

Sonny.

My brother, you don't need me.

So I'll just go.

He's right.

We don't need him.
