Lexington Station (chapter)/Transcript

This is the transcript of "Lexington Station," the thirteenth chapter of Heavy Rain.

Transcript
(The chapter opens with Ethan in Lexington Station, looking at the locker ticket he found in his previous chapter. He looks at the statue displayed on the ticket, then to the crowd of people within the station.)

Ethan: Gonna...gonna have to make it through the crowd. I can't take crowds, just can't handle it.

(The player can view Ethan's thoughts here.)

(If Ethan chooses "Lockers":)

Ethan: The luggage lockers. They're on the other side of the station.

(If Ethan chooses "Locker":)

Ethan: No time to waste, I need to find out what's in that locker.

(If Ethan chooses "Later":)

Ethan: Maybe I could come back later, when there's less of a crowd.

(If Ethan chooses "Anxiety":)

Ethan: I'm just not gonna make it. I'm tightening up, I can't go on.

(After walking for a certain amount of time, Ethan stops.)

Ethan: I can't make it. Too many people...too many people.

(Ethan tries to continue, but he starts to have trouble breathing.)

(If Ethan fails to regain control of his breathing, he gasps for air, resting his hands on his knees.)

(After Ethan successfully regains control of his breathing, the crowd freezes in place around him. Confused, he reaches out to touch a man that froze near him, but he collapses when touched. Ethan backs away from him in shock, accidentally bumping into another person, who collapses in a similar fashion. Jason appears and calls out to Ethan, holding a red balloon as he searches for him.)

Jason: Dad! Dad, where are you?

(The player can view Ethan's thoughts here.)

(If Ethan chooses "Jason":)

Ethan: Jason...it's Jason! He's there, he's right there. This time I'll save him!

(If Ethan chooses "Jason" again:)

Ethan: Jason! Jason, Dad's here, son!

(If Ethan chooses "Jason" a third time:)

Ethan: Jason! Jason, come back!

(If Ethan chooses "Balloon":)

Ethan: The balloon! Gotta get the balloon!

(If Ethan chooses "Mad":)

Ethan: You've gotta be kidding me. This is driving me crazy!

(Ethan can call out Jason's name while trying to catch up to him.)

(After a certain amount of time has passed, the crowd unfreezes and Ethan finds himself in front of the locker room. The player can view his thoughts here.)

(If Ethan chooses "Jason":)

Ethan: A nightmare. The whole thing was just a fucking nightmare. Jason...Jason is dead.

(If Ethan chooses "Crowd":)

Ethan: Made it. I made it, I managed to get through the goddamn crowd.

(If Ethan chooses "Lockers":)

Ethan: The lockers. Now I've got to find the right one.

(Once Ethan enters the locker room, he can look at the ticket in his hand.)

Ethan: Line 18, box number 3.

(If Ethan tries to open the wrong locker:)

Ethan: Wrong locker.

(When Ethan opens the correct locker, he finds a child's shoebox inside. The chapter ends with him taking the shoebox out of the locker.)
