Magnus: Are you the Quiet One? Are you the Quiet One? (They attack each other.) Who are you? Who...is...in...charge!? Who? You don't have to do this. (Mr. E kicks him off the cliff.) Who... (Magnus passes out)

Mr. E: (He puts something in Magnus's device on his wrist.) Tes neeb sah part eht.

(The black knights find Magnus.)

Delta: Magnus! Magnus!, can you hear me?!

Crystal: What did they do to him?

Lelouch: Say something, Magnus. Can you hear us? Magnus?!

(Magnus doesn't wake up)

Delta: P.I.X.A.L., lower the gurney. Magnus's in bad shape. Hang on, buddy. Hang on. (They put Magnus on the gurney and hook him to the Bounty.)

P.I.X.A.L: His device is broken and has brought a shock to his body!

Delta: How bad is it?

P.I.X.A.L.: He has extensive damage to his device. His neural net and cognitive cores suffered severe failures in his device.

Crystal: Can you save him?

P.I.X.A.L: I will have to reboot his device and fix the damage

(Lelouch carefully takes off the device off Magnus's wirst and connects wires to it)

P.I.X.A.L: Since he was shocked by the device he needs rest until it heals.

Delta: Okay We have to keep moving or the Sons of Lord Zakuro will find us. They'll do anything to get their hands on the child!

Lelouch: I just don't get how a baby can be a key.

Raven: I don't either, but that's what they said. They called him the key to the third mask.

Delta: If Raven's right, we need to disappear. Get as far away from Britannia as we can.

Suzaku: Hmm. Doesn't seem right. Abandoning Britannia.

Delta: We're not abandoning. There are others who will protect her.

Kallen: Like who?

Crystal: There's always Samurai X. Whoever that is.

Delta: Whoever it is, they're going to have to cover for us until we get a handle on things. P.I.X.A.L., set a new course. Anywhere but here.

(The baby cries.)

Delta: Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk.

Raven: I tried. He doesn't like milk.

Suzaku: What else do babies drink?

Ohgi: Don't ask me. Ask him.

Lelouch: He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet!

Suzaku: Oh! Maybe he needs a diaper change.

Raven: Oh my gosh. Do we even have diapers?

Delta: Why would we have diapers? We're black knights!

Alisa: (The baby stops crying.) The spider's in the house. Sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse. Sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth.

Raven: Wow. You're really good at that.

Alisa: Nah. He's just tired. Too much excitement. He'll go to sleep now. (She and Delta go out to see a storm.)

Delta: My father told me they call this the Dead Man's Squall.

Alisa: Do you remember much about your father before he left you as a child? When he was...bad?
