some results.

But, you know,
this is bigger than us.

Can we just agree
this is important?

was a bad loss,

but imagine if we
could actually rebuild it.

of that.

You surrendered.

So you don't fully buy
Eden's bullshit.

All their dogma
about the last tree.

- [ Groans ]
It's not about the tree.

Alright?
Look, Eden gave me a tattoo.

The COI made me burn it off.

I didn't choose either of them.

I still get a scar.

Since the Quiet Rapture,
none of us get a choice.

Hey, look at that.

There's at least something
we can agree on.

Be honest with you,
the Captain's

had a consolidated
stick up our ass

since the Quiet Rapture, but...

[ Sighs ]
But she cares about her crew.

Some more than others,
but, you know?

Yeah, right.

Can you at least tell me

if this thing is blasting me
with radi...

No. The hull's thick enough.

The blood
would soak it up anyway.

This actually
is bigger than us, man.

Because if that's a skeleton
down there,

that means that this ocean
supported life.

Things could be alive
down there right now.

Food, air. We need this.

Not just the COI--
all of us, We need this.

It's the first shred
of real hope

that we've had
in twenty fucking-- - Shut the fuck up!

Hey. Excuse me?

You said you'd get me
out of here.

- That was the deal!
- Simon, please!

Simon, please listen to me!

It's worth it.

You deserve... your freedom.

And I'm sorry
that I can't give that to you.

But it's worth it.

It is more than me.

It's more than you.

- It's bigger than...
- Ava.

- We're sorry.
- Please!

The black box!
It's in the crawl--

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Painless.

Why do we have to do this?

Why only you?

Why you, Simon?

Why you?!

Her blood is on your hands.

How many more bodies would you
climb over to save yourself?

Always thinking of the life
you'll never get back.

Thinking of a mother
who wouldn't even recognize

the killer she spawned.

Or maybe she'd be proud.

Is death the only thing
she taught you?

Half measured, half committed.

Never enough!

There is nothing else for us
now.

Nothing else.

What do you know?

You're just a piece of shit that
doesn't even know it's dead.

What do you know?!

We know more than enough!

Butcher! The light
must be forgotten!

This madness ends with you!

- You think we're just gonna give
you what you want?

Fuck that and fuck you!

You want to eat me?!

Come and try!

- Please keep this safe,
okay, mom?

It's more than me.
It's more than me.

You saw the horror of it.

What did it see in you?

- It's more than me.
It's more than me.

It saw you, Simon.

And it will never let you go!

It wants you to do this.

Can you not see that?

What did you do?!
