[announcer 2] Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to this very special edition of The Eden Report.
Retribution Day!
- With your host, Rayman! - [audience cheering, applauding]
Thank you! Thank you!
You're amazing! You're amazing! And this day is amazing.
Because it's...
[audience] Retribution Day!
[TV Rayman chuckles] Yeah. Retribution Day. Yes.
In precisely 30 minutes,
you're gonna witness live the execution of the terrorist Bullfrog!
[audience cheers, applauding]
[TV Rayman on radio] Yes, yes.
The ruthless assassin responsible for the Labor District massacre.
Partner in crime of Marcus Holloway and Dolph Laserhawk.
- [audience booing] - [showgoer] You fucking suck, asshole!
[TV Rayman] I know, I know.
So before we start the show,
please join me in one minute of silence in honor of the victims of terrorism.
[Dolph] Huh?
[system AI] Warning. Virus detected. Warning. Virus detected.
[Dolph groans, screams]
[radio] Take first security precautions to avoid becoming the victim of an attack.
[radio chatter continues]
- [Dolph groans, breathing heavily] - [electricity crackling]
What is happening to me?
[system AI] Trojan infection in progress. 25% and rising.
Locate the source of infection.
[system AI] Source of infection...
Port B.24, left arm.
[Dolph] What?
[gasps]
No.
[system AI] Time of infection...
- [Dolph] No. - [system AI] 0846, today.
[tense darksynth music playing]
I'm very pleased to announce, dear citizens of Eden,
that this execution is just the first step.
[Dolph grunting]
[TV Rayman on radio] You know that today is Retribution Day, right?
Well, here's a big surprise for you.
At this moment, the Niji 6 and our brave soldiers
are on their way to deliver the final blow to these monsters!
- [audience cheering] - Fisher!
Yes! Yes!
So stay with us, because we have the most amazing show tonight.
See you after the break.
[music crescendos, ends]
[darksynth theme music playing]
[music ends]
[Marcus panting]
I should've listened to my gut.
You're still the same brainwashed little brat.
You really got me good. You and your cyber slave.
No, no. Laserhawk has nothing to do with this.
I just needed him to infect your precious VR facility.
Unfortunately, his body won't survive the virus.
But on the bright side, this place will be in my control in no time.
Hmm?
[mechanical droning]
[guns priming]
[chuckles] Oh, Marcus.
It's cute, but unnecessary.
[Marcus panting]
[Sarah] Marcus, the reason you're still breathing right now
is because I want it that way.
I've got an offer for you.
Go fuck yourself, Little Sarah.
[tense darksynth music playing]
[Sarah chuckles]
Okay. You wanna play?
Let's play, then.
It seems you've forgotten something, you Eden scum.
You may be the best at lying and cheating, but I'm the best at what I do.
Say goodbye to your stupid-ass virus, asshole.
[music fades]
[blues rock music playing]
- [diners chattering] - [porcelain clinks]
[music continues, muffled]
[zipper opens]
I am... I'm not sure about this.
[Rayman] It's the only way, man.
But the Board of Directors has always been fair to us.
I'm... I'm sure they can be reasonable.
We've been replaced. You hear me?
I don't know how, but they did it.
They sent the fucking Niji 6 because we represent a risk for 'em.
Do you understand me?
But... I want our old life back.
[Rayman] "Our life"?
You wanna look away and spread their lies with a dumb smile on your face?
No.
I can't look away anymore.
They're gonna slaughter another innocent hybrid live on my show,
with my face!
I won't allow that.
Maybe we can beg.
Come on! Let's beg for mercy. We're pretty good at that, right?
- [Rayman grunts] - [gunfire]
[imposing rock music playing]
Those days are over.
- [diner door bell chiming] - [door closes]
Now it's time for Eden to meet...
Ramon.
[music continues]
[Sergeant] Listen up, people!
Today is a glorious day for Eden.
We're taking back the VR from those goddamn rebels.
If they oppose any resistance, I want you to shoot them on sight.
[Red] "Resistance"? Really?
A-A five-year-old could take down these fucking zombies.
[Violet laughs]
You said the same thing about taking care of Rayman,
and yet he's still on the run.
[Red] Shut the fuck up! You weren't there!
[Violet] Yeah, I know. Because if I was there, he...
[Yellow] Guys, guys, wait. I got something on the radar.
[Red] Ooh.
Huh? What the fuck are you doing?!
[Red] Aw, look at that little baby hawk falling out of the nest.
What a shame. It pains me to see you in this state.
Let me...
give you a hand.
[Sergeant] Red!
The orders are to go straight to the VR facility.
The Directors said that Laserhawk is no longer a threat.
I mean, look at him! He can barely stand on his...
[gasps] Oh boy.
- [explosion] - [Sergeant screaming]
[groaning]
[system AI] Warning. Plasma capacity unstable. Warning.
- [Dolph yells] - [cannon firing]
[system AI] Warning. Warning. Warning.
[Dolph screams, groans]
What... what are you waiting for?
Fire!
- [Red] No! - [Sergeant] What?
[Red] He's mine!
Come and get some,
Laserfuck!
Hmm. You know what, Fisher? This is a tough one to crack.
Whoever created that virus is...
pretty good, I must say.
But... not good enough.
[metal clangs]
[Marcus] Hmm?
- [Sarah grunts] - [metal bangs]
Open that door, Holloway.
[scoffs] Or what?
You're gonna huff and puff...
[Sarah on speakers] You still think this is a game, right?
[Marcus] Huh?
Where the fuck is she?
- Fisher, what are you doing? - [Sarah] Well...
The difference between you and me, Marcus...
[Marcus on speakers] Fisher.
...is that I'm not playing.
[Marcus] No. No, no, no.
No!
You fucking monster!
[Sarah] So this is what's gonna happen, Marcus.
You're gonna let the virus do its thing, and you're gonna open that door.
It's your choice.
You fucking asshole.
[Sarah] Oh. That's your friend T-Bone, right?
I didn't know he survived the Wasteland War.
Oh well.
[Marcus] Stop!
[blast doors opening]
[Marcus breathing heavily]
[Sarah] So...
About that offer.
- [Dolph grunts, groaning] - [Red laughs]
This is awesome!
- Whoo! - [Dolph grunts]
- [Red] Are you tired yet? - [Dolph gasps]
[groans]
[ringing in ears]
[Dolph groaning]
[breathing heavily]
[mechanical footsteps approaching]
[Red] Well, I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me.
But all good things must come to an end, eventually.
So, it's time we say goodbye, Captain.
- And... - [ad] See the world like a champion.
[Red] Oh. Hold on.
Right on time.
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
[chuckles]
Okay. We are now mere seconds away from tonight's big event.
Are you guys ready?
- [audience applauding] - [TV Rayman] So, Mr. Bullfrog.
You thought you could kill innocent people
and threaten Eden's way of life and get away with it?
[audience booing]
[chuckles] Too bad.
[audience applauding]
[TV Rayman] Before we proceed with the execution,
I've got one last very important question for you.
And think about it very carefully,
because these are gonna be your last words!
- [game show musical interlude plays] - [audience cheering, applauding]
- So here's my question. - [suspenseful quiz show music playing]
And there's nothing for you to win, except maybe the redemption of your soul.
Mr. Bullfrog,
when you think about what you did, do you have any regrets?
I...
As a matter of fact, I do have regrets.
Ooh.
I have blood on my hands, yes. Of course.
I followed the path of the assassin,
but this path has a code.
A code of honor.
So that, I don't regret.
No.
I'm sorry for my comrades.
Jade,
Pey'j,
and even that stupid Cody Rhodes.
Hmm. I should have been there for them.
These are my regrets.
Capitaine Dolph Laserhawk, I hope you're still alive somewhere.
I...
I failed you.
Je...
Je suis désolé, mon ami.
[audience booing]
I know, I know. I'm as angry as you are.
But don't worry.
He's now facing his fate
and will answer for what he has done.
Right after the break!
[musical interlude plays]
[Red groans]
Fuck these commercials! Really?
Okay, okay.
You know what, Laserhawk?
Let's cut to the fucking chase.
Good night.
[ground slams]
Whoa!
Fuck yeah! Damn, that felt good!
- [alarm blaring] - [Red whimpers]
- [alarm] Warning. Warning. Warning. - [Red] What the fuck?
[low rumbling]
Oh shit.
Oh, not again.
[Dolph] First, I'm gonna kick your red baboon ass.
Second, I'm gonna kick that double-crossing bitch's ass.
- [metal creaks] - [Red groans]
[Dolph] And then, and only then,
I will die!
["Turbo Killer" by Carpenter Brut playing]
[Niji 6 screaming]
Bring it on!
[Red] You motherfucker!
[Dolph roars]
[Niji 6 groan]
Holy Mother of God!
Fire!
[Dolph grunting]
[gunfire continues]
- [system AI] Warning. Warning. Warning. - [Dolph groans, screams]
[music continues]
[Dolph grunting]
[system AI] Warning. Plasma capacity unstable.
Warning. Warning. Warning. Warning.
[Dolph roars]
[yelling]
[music ends]
- [audience cheering] - [talk-show music playing]
[Rayman scatting to music]
And we're back! [chuckles]
Ladies and gentlemen, this is it.
This is the moment you've all been waiting for.
In precisely one minute and 35 seconds,
Bullfrog, the ruthless terrorist, will receive 40,000 volts...
[Director Alpha] Perfect. We're on schedule.
Sigma's plan is falling into place.
Laserhawk is probably dead as we speak.
After tonight's execution, all the Ghosts will be terminated,
and the VR facility will be...
Excuse me. Director Alpha,
I think we have a problem on the Wasteland frontline.
[Alpha] Uh-huh?
- Sergeant. What is the... - [Sergeant yelling on phone]
[Alpha] Okay, slow down. Slow down. I can't hear you.
What?
Sergeant, are you telling me that one broken cyber terrorist
is taking down an entire army?
Because if that's the case,
you'll be the one sitting in the jail live on television next week.
- Do I make myself clear? Fix this. - [phone beeps]
- [Omega] Should we send backup? - [Alpha] Backup?
What backup? We sent everyone there.
[guard] Huh?
Hey! You!
It's a restricted area. Hands where I can see them.
Hands? Sure.
Slowly. Slowly.
Aw. Where did you go?
Huh? What?
[groans]
[imposing rock music playing]
Aw. There you are.
That's a very naughty hand.
How about a big round of applause
for the Rayman Kid that's gonna pull that lever!
Delphine! [chuckles] So cute.
Is everybody ready for the countdown for justice?
- [Pi] What? Rayman? - [gunshot]
- [Directors] Huh? - [Alpha] What's the matter with you?
Nobody makes a fucking move.
Sit the fuck down.
[Alpha] Rayman?
Sit the fuck down!
[Alpha] Okay. Okay. We're sitting down.
[Omega] You know, we understand what you...
[Ramon] I got no time for your bullshit.
The execution.
Call it off.
Now.
[Omega] Rayman, you know that's impossible.
I don't think you understand the shit you're in.
This is your last chance.
Come on, everybody.
- Count with me! - [Ramon] Cut it off.
Now.
[TV Rayman with audience] Ten, nine...
[Omega] Director speaking. Call the execution off. Right now.
You don't have much time.
[Omega] I don't care! We will deal with that later!
Cut it off, goddamn it!
- Wait! - [audience gasps]
What?
Yeah. Uh-huh.
[clears throat]
Okay. It... it seems that we have a small technical issue with the chair,
so for safety reasons, we have to, um...
[off-air tone]
[Omega] Okay. Are you happy now?
You have what you wanted.
[Ramon laughing]
Am I happy?
Oh, no.
No, I'm not.
We really have to rearrange the whole place.
I'm thinking... light blue?
[Marcus] I'm glad that Sam never saw what you let yourself become.
[Sarah] Oh, yes. And what about what you've become?
"The Wasteland King." Really? [chuckles]
Is this shadow of a life all you had to offer them?
It's better than living in your world.
Oh, you're gonna be surprised, Marcus, but...
I agree with you.
I don't like this world either.
You know, Eden Tech has gone by many names over time.
You probably heard of the Templar Order?
But they've always been governed by the same council.
The council that's grown weak and complacent.
We need new blood.
That's why I'm talking to you right now.
[Marcus chuckles] You can't be serious.
I'm offering you what everybody lost, even you.
A vision. A path.
If you hate Eden so much, then help it change.
Who the hell are you?
I'm...
[Dolph] The biggest piece of shit I've ever met.
[grunting, breathing heavily]
And God knows I've had my share.
[epic darksynth music playing]
Oh my God.
Seems like you're in a lot of pain, Laserhawk.
Yeah? Then you should see the other guys.
- What? - [Dolph] Yeah.
About their army...
[clicks tongue] They won't be joining us after all.
[Sarah laughing]
[Dolph coughs]
Oh, Dolph.
Can I call you Dolph?
[Dolph chuckles] No.
[Warden] Okay.
You are a tough son of a bitch, Captain Laserhawk, I give you that.
But in the end, it won't make any difference.
[Dolph coughing, wheezing]
[music fades]
Shh-shh-shh. It's okay.
Just look on the bright side.
You finally got what you wanted.
- Hey, Warden. - [Sarah] Hmm?
Beep.
- [wrist beeps] - [Sarah gasps]

[Marcus panting]

[Sarah] I'm very sorry for the little interruption.
It won't happen again.
So, Marcus.
Are you in?
Or are you out?
