[lounge music playing]
[Rayman on TV] Another night of terror yesterday
in our temple of joy and entertainment, the Labor District's wrestling arena.
Traitor Dolph Laserhawk, aided by violent hybrid gangs,
turned the night into a bloodbath.
In a shocking turn of events,
Laserhawk managed to escape with the help of the Warden of the Supermaxx,
formerly one of the most respected members of Eden's armed forces.
[Rayman snorting]
[Rayman on TV] But rest assured, the Niji 6 and the rest of Eden's heroes...
They did it.
I can't believe these motherfuckers.
They... they replaced me.
[sobbing]
Oh my God! What am I gonna do? What am I gonna--
[static on TV]
[ominous music playing]
[whimpers] I'm-- I'm sorry.
Okay? I get it now. I won't do it again, I swear.
[Board of Directors] If you want the truth, talk to the frog.
I... Uh...
What? Hello?
What is...
[Board of Directors] If you want the truth, talk to the frog.
What does that mean?
Today also marks the beginning of the hearing of Bullfrog,
Dolph Laserhawk's partner in crime.
He's currently being held at the MegaCity 1 courthouse...
Talk to the frog?
Oh, fuck!
[darksynth theme music playing]
[music ends]
[Marcus] So, Eden is planning an attack to get New Wasteland back,
and oh, what a surprise, you are my only hope to push them back.
You mean, the girl who betrayed not only me but also her own father?
[laughs] Damn.
You got some nerve, Little Sarah.
Come on, Holloway. You heard my story, right?
I was just a kid.
Since then, I've worked my way into Eden's system
to destroy it from within.
They've publicly framed me as an enemy of the state, for God's sake.
[Marcus] Yeah. Another betrayal.
Those became bad habits of yours.
Look, Holloway, we have no time for this.
I can help you.
I know Eden's tactics. I have Laserhawk.
- [Marcus laughs] - Together--
[Marcus] Oh, Little Sarah Fisher...
I heard your story. But it's just that. A nice little tease.
[Sarah groans]
Maybe I should rip your fucking head off and deliver your corpse to Eden
as a gesture of goodwill.
Sure you could. What do you think would happen?
I know Eden. I've done their bidding.
[Marcus] Precisely.
I know all too well how faithful to Eden you are.
I felt it in my flesh for years of agony, and now it's time for payback.
It's time for you to experience firsthand
the power of the VR facility.
[Sarah gasps]
[tense music playing]
[body thuds]
[Sarah coughs]
[Marcus] Welcome to the Battle of the Wasteland.
You're gonna see it from my eyes.
You're gonna feel what it costs to fight against Eden.
[music ends]
[Dolph] Fisher?
Fisher!
- Where the fuck am I? - [seagulls squawking]
What the...
[tropical lounge music playing]
[people chattering, laughing]
[music continues]
[bartender] Oh, you're here. Here's your margarita.
[Alex] Well, you took your sweet time.
Alex?
[music fades]
[action music playing]
[police radio chatter]
[people clamoring in distance]
What the hell are you doing, Rayman?
Oh, come on.
[children laughing]
[music continues]
You have no right to do this. You have to let me--
I don't have to do shit. Now you sit down, and you shut your mouth.
- [judge] Guilty. - [audience clamoring]
[judge] Next.
[music crescendos, ends]
- [guard 1] Stop. - [Rayman whimpers]
No one's allowed inside. Niji 6 orders.
Okay. Look.
Ta-da!
[guard 2 scoffs]
Officer, I got no time for this.
I gotta wrap up an interview with that damn terrorist before 3 p.m.
You know? The trial?
Hello?
I, uh... was not aware of this.
- Okay, I gotta check with my-- - I was just talking with Red outside.
It was scheduled in this morning's brief.
Board of Directors' orders, man. [chuckles]
But please, please, go ahead.
After all, Red is such a lovely, understanding person, right?
[guard 1] Uh...
Okay. O-Okay, please, Rayman, don't tell anyone.
I got your back, dude.
[lock clicks]
[guard 1] Wow. Rayman is such a nice guy.
[drone approaching]
Dad? [panting]
Dad!
[Sarah panting]
[heartbeat thumping]
No!
Dad! [screams]
Dad!
Please don't.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifying]
- [music stops] - [Bullfrog slurping]
[exhales] That was good. Want some? Uh, uh... Wait.
Tropical or orange?
[Rayman clears throat]
Okay, um... I received this weird message this morning, uh...
"If you wanna know the truth, talk to the frog." Who sent it?
Was it you? What does it mean?
Well, uh, no, not at all.
But I don't have much to do here, so we can chat if you like.
Even if it's with Eden's favorite poster boy.
I used to watch you as a tadpole, you know?
Okay. You gotta know something.
I mean, yes, that day on TV, I may have crossed the line,
I went off script for one second, but firing me?
It can't just end like that.
There must be something you could do about it.
It's not fair!
Oh. Not fair. Right.
That's what crossed my mind
when your police force shot my friend Pey'j last night.
Well, I mean, you're a terrorist after all. What did you expect?
[chuckles] Right back at you, friend.
What do you expect visiting a dirty terrorist?
Right.
This was a mistake. I should go.
[Bullfrog] You were right to be upset.
I watched you that day.
Between all those lies you were spewing about us, about everything,
there was this one true moment.
And they are punishing you for this, right?
So...
Tropical or orange?
[tropical lounge music resumes]
[Dolph] You're dead.
I... I killed you.
Well, that's kinda the beauty of this place.
The sky is always blue, until you don't want it to be.
They only serve margaritas with Mexican limes. That's a plus.
Oh, and also, death is only an option.
For fuck's sake.
This isn't real.
[Marcus] Absolutely.
- [low booming echoes] - [music stops]
Welcome to your dream, Laserhawk.
[melancholic music playing]
My dream?
Is this your idea of a bribe?
This is not my idea, Laserhawk.
The VR is only giving you what you deeply desire.
A life free from your cycle of anger, suffering, and revenge.
A peaceful life. No one to betray.
[volleyball thudding]
Hey, guys.
Wanna play? We're two players short.
- [Alex] Yes. Perfect. - [Dolph] Jade.
[Alex] Dolph?
You coming? I'm gonna kick your ass.
Oh, come on, babe.
Yeah, come on. When was the last time you had fun?
[Marcus] They're right.
I think you deserve a little break.
[Dolph sighs]
Goddamn it.
[Rayman slurping]
[exhales]
When... when I was your age,
I thought a scholarship was going to change everything.
[chuckles] Funny what we believe when we don't know any better.
I actually believed a diploma could bridge the gap
between what they were born with and what I was.
The truth is, once a filthy alien, always a filthy alien, I guess.
Until Eden rose from the ashes of what came before, promising a new way--
[Bullfrog slurping]
[sighs] You really don't have to sell Eden's propaganda anymore, sir.
Especially not to me.
I'm not selling you anything.
I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Eden.
Without them, I'm nothing! They saved my life!
You stood up for yourself, sir,
and Eden cast you out for it, like the rest of us.
How long before they call you a terrorist?
I'm no terrorist!
Why would Eden do something like that?
[sighs] Must be nice living in your own bubble.
Oh. Talking about bubbles.
I think I understand now what you're looking for, sir.
Really?
And I'm afraid you're not gonna like it.
[mysterious music playing]
[Bullfrog retches]
What?
[Rayman in bubble] Another beautiful day in Eden.
Thanks to Universal Basic Income, poverty has now dropped to 1%!
Oh my God.
[talk-show guest] This is a state of mass surveillance,
and if we don't walk the line, we are silenced.
Whoa. [chuckles] Is he always so dramatic?
Citizens, you can sleep tight because Eden's police force won't.
There's... There's no way.
[children] I'm a Rayman Kid!
[Rayman laughs nervously]
No.
But they're little kids.
[Rayman in bubble] Eden is a safe place for everyone, humans and hybrids alike.
[Rayman] No!
[activist] Time will come when Rayman has to answer for what he did.
The people will be the judge, jury, and executioner.
[Rayman retches, coughing]
Wh-What have I done? I'm a monster!
People will believe anything when the truth is too hard to bear.
Eden needed a friendly face to deliver their propaganda.
They... they used me?
They lied to protect their interest.
If anyone protests, they silence them.
You... you should be careful, mon ami.
[Rayman] Careful?
Why? Am I in danger?
- [door opens] - [Rayman gasps]
[Red] Well, well, well. What do we have here?
I've been lookin' everywhere for you.
You filthy alien scum.
[Rayman yells]
- [punch lands] - [Rayman groans]
[coughing]
[Red] Stay down!
[Rayman sobbing, groaning]
You coward.
[Red] Shut the fuck up.
Now get your ass moving. We're taking you to court.
History is kind to the just.
[Red] Well, we'll just see about that, won't we?
[door closes]
[Red] Shit!
- [footsteps running] - [Red panting]
- [people chattering] - [Red] Where the hell is he?
Fuck! [echoing]
[crickets chirping]
[melancholic music resumes]
[Dolph chuckles]
I've missed this.
Yeah. Me too.
You know, this...
this is all I ever wanted.
I just wanted you, us, like this.
- But then you went and fucked it all up. - [sighs] I know. I'm sorry.
I was so furious.
I thought that killing you would make it all better, but...
it didn't.
Quite the opposite.
I guess I should've listened to him.
Whom?
The most ridiculous assassin I have ever met in my life.
Also the kindest.
[waves crashing]
[Dolph] "Be wary of the path of vengeance," he said.
Hmm. Wise words.
And where is he now?
I don't know.
I just assumed that he was...
Dead? Hmm. Maybe.
Or maybe that frog needs you.
[Dolph] I...
[music continues]
I need to get back to MegaCity.
[Marcus] And leave all this?
I thought there was nothing for you out there.
[Dolph] Yeah.
There's not much for me out there.
But this isn't about me.
I left a man behind.
[Marcus chuckles]
[laughing]
Oh, Laserhawk.
You sound just like him.
That good old Sam Fisher.
He always had faith in people, you know.
Hmm. Even in his psychotic daughter.
You know, I used to think like you, Holloway.
But we all have our cross to bear.
And Sarah Fisher had hers too.
She may have put a bomb in my head,
but at the end of the day, I think she's all right.
Well, you have a long journey ahead of you, Laserhawk.
I hope you'll find what you're looking for.
One step at a time.
Right.
One step at a time.
[Dolph breathing heavily]
[music continues]
Good luck, Fisher.
[music fades]
[baby crying in distance]
[Sarah groaning]
[coughs]
This isn't real.
- This-- - Yes. This is what happened.
It's the reality we created.
So, Sarah,
what is it you really wanted coming here?
Tell me, and I'll make this quick.
I told you the truth!
Lies! I don't believe you.
Of course you don't.
I guess you never will.
So now you can torture me. You can kill me.
It's all right. I deserve it.
But, please, believe me when I say...
I am sorry for what I did to you.
I'm sorry.
[inhales deeply]
[Marcus] Well, well, well. Little Sarah Fisher.
I was looking forward to watching you suffer
in the same way me and your father suffered because of you
until I got tired of it and put a bullet in your head.
[button clicks]
[Sarah grunts, groans]
Why did you change your mind?
Well, let's say that a certain cyber soldier vouched for you
and made me realize that maybe people can change.
- Laserhawk? - [Marcus] Yeah.
He's on his way to MegaCity to save his frog, I believe.
A good man.
Yeah.
Little Sarah, if you are finally telling the truth,
if Eden's forces are on their way to take back the VR facility,
I guess we got work to do.
Yeah. You're right.
I've got unfinished business here.
[Marcus] Huh? What the...
A virus?!
You bitch!
[tense darksynth music playing]
[Marcus screams]
[Sarah laughs]
Really, Holloway,
you should be more careful about who you plug into your precious VR.
You know what they say.
Fool you once, shame on me.
Fool you twice, shame on you.
