Freaking out over Burial at Sea Ep 2 preview

[apolloheir]

I sure hope she knows what she's doing. Fontai- Atlas isn't trustworthy.

And if he's wearing a wig, it looks ridiculous.

Trust me, I don't need a refresher on how untrustworthy most people are.

[apolloheir]

This is different. Atlas- Fontaine is dangerous.

[tearmeanewone]

...you're kidding, right?

Are you telling me that I don't look like I know dangerous? I sicced a Big Daddy on man, and stood there while it impaled him.

[apolloheir]

...I didn't mean it that way at all, miss. Anyone who survives even a quarter of what we have knows how to handle danger.

Just please be careful when the time comes. I don't think the man with the guitar's going to like it if you get yourself hurt.

[tearmeanewone]

...no, he wouldn't.

I'll be careful. Anyone who lets his underling play Russian Roulette with someone else's head, then claims they aren't animals, isn't someone I'm about to get into bed with in any sense of the word.

[apolloheir]

In the end, he really wasn't better than Ryan. He just had a lot more people fooled, that's all. And maybe- maybe this time, it'll end differently. It might end better than it did for me.

[It's probably a naive hope. But he'll cling to it nonetheless.]

[tearmeanewone]

How did it end for you?

[Truth be told, she's not holding out much hope either.]

[apolloheir]

It depends on a lot of stuff, I guess. "Constants and variables" or whatever my mun keeps saying. I know that personally? I got the Little Sisters out. We got away. But I think- I think there's another me that killed them all. Took Rapture for himself.

[It's all very confusing even without the "lol mind control" thrown in!]

[tearmeanewone]

...There's another me that gave up. That was indoctrinated, and suffered slowly until she gave in-- and took Columbia for herself and waged war on innocent people below.

[Preach it, brother.]

But yours is a good end, I think. I don't know if what I'm facing-- with Atlas, with Rapture-- is going to end with anyone being saved. I don't know if it can.

[apolloheir]

It doesn't have to. [Jack's expression changes into a small, melancholy smile.] If all you manage to do is save that little girl, then you've done enough. Maybe that's the happiest ending that'll come of this whole sorry mess.

He won't win. I promise you that much. Fontaine won't get away with ruining so many lives. Not Sally's. Not the other Little Sisters. Not mine.

[tearmeanewone]

[Elizabeth mirrors that smile, trying to look on the bright side with him. There hasn't been a bright side to look on in... years.]

I guess I can stand him for a while, knowing that much. That is, if he doesn't hurt Sally. [Then all bets are off.]

[apolloheir]

[Very little brightness lives in Rapture, even before its fall. Andrew Ryan's dream is no more than someone else's nightmare.]

That, I'm not so sure about. but he'll try not to blow his cover. Maybe you'll see right through him. [That'd be awesome.]

[tearmeanewone]

I'm not sure what there is to 'see through'. He told someone to put a bullet in me, then picked me up by my hair. Not exactly tall, dark, and handsome material. [Grade-A crumb, honestly.] If he's looking to con me, he's going to have a hard time of it.
