Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle

[after he drags Carapax/OMAC across the island's infrastructure and beats him to a pulp]

WE'RE NOT DONE!' [pins Carapax to the ground with staple pincers]

Khaji-Da

Jaime. Threat disarmed. You're losing control.

Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle

[as he breaks Carapax's helmet and rips it off his head]

YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD BEAT ME?! HUH?! YOU SHOULD HAVE FINISHED ME WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE!

Khaji-Da

[Jaime rips Carapax's helmet off to make him vulnerable]

OMAC neutralized. Recommend to disengage.

Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle

[Jaime/Blue Beetle transforms his arm into a stinger to prepare the final blow on Carapax/OMAC and screams in fury as he brings his arm down; the stinger halts suddenly mere inches to Carapax/OMAC's eye, revealing Khaji-Da had prevented Jaime from killing him] [struggling]

What are you doing?!

Khaji-Da

We're not killers, Jaime. Let him go.

Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle

[grieving]

What about Dad...? What about Rudy...?!

Khaji-Da

During the transfer, I've unlocked his memories. Let me show you.

Doctor

[a series of flashbacks chroniclizing Carapax's life in reverse began to be shown, starting with his augmentation with the OMAC, and then when he was about to get his robotic appendages]

What if he doesn't survive the procedure?

Doctor

It could kill him.

[looking down on Carapax in his memory]

Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

This country is confronting a brutal challenge, from guerrillas armed and supported by others outside Guatemala.

Newswoman

[more memories are shown chronologically in reverse as it shows a younger teenage Carapax serving in the military and shooting coldly, before cutting to a younger adolescent version of him shooting and a kid version of Carapax being forced to shoot, followed by him being drafted in the military, getting his hair shaved off, and then being taken by the military] [voiceover]

The United States is committed to restoring democracy and to address the root causes of the violent insurgency]

Victoria Kord

[the memory of a hiding young Carapax found by Victoria and the military is shown]

Perfect. Round them up.

Young Carapax

[one last memory is shown with a kid Carapax delivering buckets of water to his mother, before he spots two planes about to airstrike the place]

MAMA!!!
[the airstrikes blow up the vicinity] Carapax's Mother: [before she is caught in the ensuing explosion] IGNACIO!

Khaji-Da

[the young Carapax is blown aback by the blast; in the aftermath, he becomes traumatized as he obtains the locket necklace with the picture of him and his mother; we cut back to the present-day Carapax, who looks saddened and remorseful after seemingly remembering what happened throughout his life; Jaime pulls back a bit after experiencing the memories]

Do you understand now?

Rudy Reyes

[a few moments pass, as it seems Jaime's rage got the best of him, thrusting his stinger arm down and screaming; cut to the Bug Ship arriving with Rudy, having survived the ordeal with Carapax/OMAC's attempt to kill him, hanging on to the hangar]

Hey! Cabezon!
[soon we cut back to Carapax, where it's revealed that Jaime had stabbed the ground next to him, having spared his life after seeing how much he had suffered; he pulls his stinger out of the ground and leans back, looking to the sky as he calms down for a few moments, before transforming his stinger arm back to normal to help Carapax up; he takes his hand and gets helped up from the ground, and Jaime disables his broken facemask]

Jaime Reyes

You're wrong. The love that I have for my family? That's what makes me strong.
