- snarling "Then why don't you go get it?"
- "Oh, I did. And I took it to one of those lovely phase runners."
- "I had no idea how far they reach. A press of a button. And just like that... your source code's halfway to Gridiron."

Transcript

- Crypto and Wattson enter the apartment. Door locks
- "Thank you for coming. I guess you trust me a little."
- "Don't get ahead of yourself, Crypto. i have my nodes. You'd be surprised what I can do with them."
- "You could have said 'shocked' instead of 'surprised'"
- "Yes, I could have. So, what is it you want to say to me?"
- "I... I thought about what you said, and you're right. You can't trust someone you don't know."
- "So I-I want you to know. I'm... my name is... I- I am..."
- stiffle a chuckle
- "I'm glad this is amusing to you."
- "It isn't, I swear. But it's can't be that bad."
- "I've been around the Arena since I was very young. I've met a lot of people, not all of them good."
- "I don't think you could say anything thing that would shock me."
- "... My name is not Hyeon Kim. I am not from Solace."
- "Okay. Then what is your name?"
- "..."
- "...You're really that afraid?"
- Hack comes into view "I'M NOT AFRAID. But I'm not an idiot. There are people after me."
- "But the Syndicate will protect you. They want you to compete, so they will keep you safe - outside the Ring, anyway."
- "..."
- "...What?"
- "The person after me is... part of the Syndicate."
- "Why? What did you do?"
- "NOTHIGN! I did nothing -- exactly like I was supposed to do. And everything still went wrong!" Sighs "Sorry." Hack stands down
- "No, it's all right. Go on."
- "I... before I joined the Games, I worked for the Syndicate. So did my sister."
- "One day, we found somethign we shouldn't have. She tried to steal it. They found out."
- "She went missing, and they framed me for her murder."
- "Oh. That's terrible. Did you find out what happened to her?"
- Sigh "She found me. Maybe. Someone contacted me on Kings canyon. It might be her - or someone impersonating her."
- I... 몰라(molla-I don't know). But if it is, she might be able to help me. Because until I have answers, and I clear my name - I don't have one. I'm just Crypto."
- "But you do have a name."
- "..."
- "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
- "That's not it. Once someone has your name, they have everything. I'm used to being careful."
- "You've told me so much though. Why?"
- "I... enjoyed working with you. And you seem honest. Trustworthy. I hope."
- "You..." pause "You know my father and I worked for the Syndicate, don't you?"
- "You know I owe so much to them?... Of course. You know everything about everyone."
- "But when Dr. Caustic said you double-crossed Loba, I realized I don't knwo anything about you."
- "You didn't want me to. You treated me like an enemy."
- "But you know who I am, and you told me all of this anyway. That wasn't very smart."
- "I don't think Crypto would do that. So whoever you are, you're more than just Crypto."
- "I think I could trust you - Now that I know someone in there trusts me."
- "So, nice to meet you... Whoever you are."
- "It's... Tae Joon Park."
- "Nice to meet you, Tae Joon. Your secret is safe with me."
- "And I hope you don't mind inducting me into your circle of friends." Giggles
- "Nice to meet you too, Natalie."

- Machines humming as they boot up. Horizon muttering to herself
- "Oh, thank you, darlin. Science never sleeps!"
- "But it can't do much but twiddle its thumbs when we keep losing power!"
- "De rien. Though, there's some damage to this wall."
- "I'm not that kind of engineer. Maybe-"
- Interrupting "Ugh! You dafty thing- "
- Catching herself "Sorry dear. Power's back on and I lose the database."
- "Cannae believe it? I'd swear these vines have a mind to stop us from stopping them."
- Doors Open. Footsteps.
- Ash: Enters room "Hmm. A unique theory"
- "Oh, You're... the lass running the Arenas."
- Ash: "Ash. And I am here for an update on your progress"
- "Well, there's-"
- Ash: Interupting "One of our locations is at risk. Its survival is essential."
- "Uh... We've got a lot of sick people here, dear."
- "The lion's share of our funds are tapped for the immunologists and the botanists-"
- Ash: Interupting "That's not good enough. We need structural engineers securing the Arena site."
- Ash: "As you are well aware, we are running a competition, one that is paying for your work here"
- Ash: "Our site takes first priority."
- Holding in anger "Right.... we'll get on that. Now if you'll excuse me."
- Ash: "Do you believe that is sufficient?"
- "I believe we're doing our best under the circumstances."
- "And I believe your priorities are right out of order."
- Ash: Dangerous tone "Is that so?"
- "You think your game is more important than people?"
- "You're standing on a marvel of modern science that's having the life choked out of it."
- "Uh..."
- Ash: Sarcastic tone "A marvel? How sentimental."
- "Yes... My dearest friend dedicated her life to this place. I raised my son here."
- "Pardon me if I'm a bit touchy about it falling out of the sky!"
- Building RUMBLES
- "What's happening?"
- "The vines could be digging in right under our feet. If the building's compromised-"
- CRACK
- "LOOK OUT!"
- Ash pushes Horizon from falling debris. BAM and SPARKS as the beam hits the ground
- Wattson and Horizon coughing, catching their breath
- "Mother of God!"
- Ash: Unphased "These components have been damaged. Unfortunate."
- "I... you saved me."
- Ash: "Correct."
- "I... thank you. And I'm- I'm sorry for losing my temper."
- Ash: "You're fragile. It is to be expected. But your work is essential."
- Ash: "Your death would be a significant step back for the project."
- Damaged computer SPARKS
- "Oh... Right. Well, Now I'm back to work with half the equipment."
- Ash: "The syndicate will fund replacements. Expect them within twenty-four hours."
- Ash: "I expect an update when your equipment is repaired."
- Ash: Moves to the door "You're doing much to protect Lilian Peck's legacy. I'm sure your son Newton would be proud."
- Ash EXITS. Horizon takes a breath
- Frazzled "Oh, and you're all right, dear?"
- "Yes, I'm fine. And... you?"
- "Yes, well... about as good as..." trails off muttering
- "Dr. Somers?"
- "...My son. Newton. She-she said his name. How did she know?"
- "Ah, it sounds familiar. it's on Pathfinder's statue, isn't it? The dedication, with grand-mere."
- "Oh" laughs "Yes... yes. Thank you, dear. Helping keep my head on straight."
- "Now... ah, I've kept you from someone, haven't I? Miss Ticacek? Oh darlin', I'm sorry to make you dilly-dally."
- Uncertain "Oui... not at all"
- Wattson EXITS
- "The plaque. Right. The plaque" scribbling furiously "Yeah, that's what it is, it's the plaque..." Trails off, muttering

- SCENE: Hospital room
- Machines hums, blip of heart monitor
- Mystik: "Hello? Dr. Somers? I-Is that you?"
- "It's, uh... not Dr. Somers, Ms. Ticacek"
- Mystik: "Oh, there you are! Honey, can you help me? I think my heart has stopped beating."
- "WHAT?! Oh, the heart monitor. We've been having issues with the power."
- "I can help with that." (SPARKS) "How are you otherwise?"
- Mystik: "Is that... you're building a fence? It IS you. How are the boys? Are they back yet?"
- "I... I don't know what you're referring to. I'm just a.... volunteer."
- Mystik: "Oh you're a terrible liar, Natalie. I know who you are."
- Mystik: "I know who my son is. I know who my other son is. So, let's drop the pretense because my clock is running out."
- Mystik: "And talking in code seems like a real waste of my last night alive." (Strained breath) "Now, where were we?"
- Mystik: "Oh! How I'm doing. Probably dying tomorrow. How are you, honey?"
- (Attempting to stifle her own laughter)
- Mystik: "My upcoming demise is funny, is it?"
- (Unable to stop laughing) "I... don't know why I'm laughing. It's not funny."
- "It's just... you're right. I don't know how to lie. I don't even know what I was thinking. I had no plan coming here!"
- Mystik: "Then allow me to take the wheel and say this: I thank the universe every day my boys have had you to look out for them."
- "And I'm thrilled to meet the woman who raise them."
- Mystik: "I don't know if I 'raised' Alexander. I was so young. I thought if I kept that cookie jar full, and had him decorate cupcakes, and called him names like-"
- Mystik and : "like Smartypants!" (Wattson laughs)
- Mystik: "You know that story?"
- "Yes, I know that story."
- Mystik: "... I ignored all the warning signs. Denial is so easy when you're a new mother."
- Mystik: "You want so badly to believe the world will be perfect for your kids."
- Mystik: "We want that so desperately, we'll lie to them. And to ourselves. And don't even realize..."
- Mystik: "But... we do our best. I'm sure your mom has similar stories."
- "My mom died when I was a baby. It's ok. I had my papa, and he was wonderful. He also died. Few years ago."
- Mystik: "Being a teenager is hard enough without being an orphan on top of it."
- "After his funeral, the other Legends found me sitting under the kitchen table."
- "They had to coax me out. Help me understand that even though they weren't my biological family, they were still..."
- Mystik: "Your adopted family?"
- "Just... my family."
- Mystik: Swallowing emotion "Well, if I didn't like you before, Natalie, that sealed it. That kind of inner strength-"
- "Oh, no. They were the strong ones. My Legends. I just wanted to crawl under the table and never come out."
- Mystik: "You had the kitchen table, I had a bridge. I'd sit on the ledge every night. Dead husband. Dead son, or so I thought."
- Mystik: "I'd ask the heavens for a sign. A reason to keep going."
- "And you got one...?"
- Mystik: "I did. He walked out from under that bridge and yell at me, in Korean, that he was trying to sleep."
- Mystik: "He was 12 years old and all by himself. I was sixty... and just as alone."
- "They were our angels..."
- Mystik: "Here's the thing, honey. They're not angels. They're just... people."
- Mystik: "WE made the choice to keep going. That's on US. Give yourself credit."
- Mystik: "Whatever life throws at you, always know that you can take it. You can take anything."
- "We're like... lightning rods."
- Mystik: "Stronger than even we realize."
- "I still miss him sometimes. When the house gets quiet. Especially at night."
- Mystik: "My house is full of children and never quiet. And it still feels empty without Alexander."
- "When did you realize he was... not... dead?"
- Mystik: Labored breathed in "The second I saw my first Apex match, I know. he looks exactly the same.
- Mystik: "What changed, the part in his hair? Worst disguise I'ver ever seen. He's not even trying."
- Chuckles "Still... that must have hurt. You even had a funeral."
- Mystik: "Oh, I was LIVID. To make your own mother believe... after all he put me through" pained breath "...you get it."
- Mystik: "You'ver experienced it. But you never gave up on him. Not entirely. Watching you navigate your way around him in a way that I couldn't."
- Mystik: pained breath "I never stopped loving Alexander, but you're the reason I started liking him again."
- "I understand him more now. His language. It scares me sometimes, but... it's starting to make sense to me now."
- "You should know it got pretty bad. He almost-"
- Sound of paper rips
- "...Ms. Ticacek, what is this?"
- Mystik: "This is my contact info. I don't care what time it is, the next time you're feeling alone in your house, you reach out to me."
- Mystik: "You're family now, honey. To them, and to me. My son thinks very, VERY highly of you, you know."
- "He has been... supportive of my scientific work. In his own way."
- Mystik: "That wasn't the son I was referring to..."
- Mystik: "Well... look at that." Big breath "My heart appears to be working again, thanks to you."
- Mystik: Big breath "So anyway, when they opened Olympus, I had to come. Sometimes a mother needs to step in before her sons go too far. Of course NOW they decide to... work together" Strained breath "leave the planet... when I show up."
- Mystik: Strained breath, machines beeping in alarm "...Boys, ami... rite?"
- "Mystik? What is it?"
- Mystik: "Think I... need... Doc..."
- "KATERINA?!?! Please don't die! PLEASE!"
- Start to send sparks from her equipment "SOMEBODY, HELP US! HELP! HELLLLLP!!"
- In the background, a doctor enters the room
