1. Humanity has spread to the stars.
Copy !req
2. We set out like ancient seafarers
to explore the limitless ocean of space.
Copy !req
3. But no matter how far we venture
into the unknown,
Copy !req
4. the worst monsters
are those we bring with us.
Copy !req
5. "Once upon a time,
in a village in the woods—"
Copy !req
6. Don't read it, Tak.
Copy !req
7. I want you to tell it our way.
Copy !req
8. Okay. You ready?
Copy !req
9. "Once, there was a cruel father
who had two kids.
Copy !req
10. He was called Mad Mykola."
Copy !req
11. "He was a miller, but he made the kids
do all of the work."
Copy !req
12. - Where do you think their mom was?
- There are never moms in these stories.
Copy !req
13. Come on, keep going.
Copy !req
14. "The girl and the boy worked so hard,
that one night they fainted."
Copy !req
15. "Mad Mykola
found them lying on the floor,
Copy !req
16. and he threw them both into the mill."
Copy !req
17. "Then he thought, who's going to do
all the work for him?"
Copy !req
18. "So he went into the village,
stole more children.
Copy !req
19. He killed them, cut them up,
Copy !req
20. and took their bits and pieces
to the loom."
Copy !req
21. "And stitched all their bloody dead parts
Copy !req
22. into one huge, strong, creepy thing."
Copy !req
23. "The Patchwork Man.
Copy !req
24. But it turned,
and it ripped Mad Mykola to shreds. "
Copy !req
25. "Then it went out into the world.
But its body kept falling apart."
Copy !req
26. "So to this day,
the Patchwork Man wanders the streets
Copy !req
27. looking for children to kill,
to cut up, and to sew into himself."
Copy !req
28. We're on a new world now,
new lives. Stop complaining!
Copy !req
29. Why can't you just be grateful?
Just once, hmm?
Copy !req
30. You know what your problem is?
Copy !req
31. You don't know how to be appreciative
for what you have.
Copy !req
32. I'm sorry, Jakub. I am so lucky.
Copy !req
33. You're right. I... I'll be better.
Copy !req
34. I don't care what you do.
Just stop complaining!
Copy !req
35. We stick together, Rei.
Copy !req
36. Never face the monsters alone.
Copy !req
37. An invitation arrived for you
with the dawn.
Copy !req
38. - I doubted you wanted it in the shower.
Copy !req
39. It requests your presence
at Suntouch House this evening.
Copy !req
40. I'm afraid I have other pertinent news.
Copy !req
41. Miriam Bancroft was not the only one
in attendance last night.
Copy !req
42. The room's privacy settings
were compromised.
Copy !req
43. To be vulgar, I was hacked.
Copy !req
44. I have no explanation how this drone
eluded my security protocols,
Copy !req
45. but it did acquire... footage.
Copy !req
46. You're fucking kidding me.
Copy !req
47. Yeah?
Copy !req
48. Mr. Kovacs, I sent you an invitation
some hours ago.
Copy !req
49. - Is there a reason you haven't replied?
- I'm not big on dinner parties.
Copy !req
50. It's a party in name only.
Copy !req
51. The guest list includes everybody
I could think of who might want me dead.
Copy !req
52. You made a list of everyone who wants
to kill you and invited them to dinner?
Copy !req
53. Well, they're hardly gonna come
for an interrogation, are they?
Copy !req
54. You want me to chat them up
at the buffet line?
Copy !req
55. Do I need to explain the risks?
Copy !req
56. I think you can manage three courses
and a digestif.
Copy !req
57. See you at 7:00.
Copy !req
58. Do you believe he is aware of your conduct
with Mrs. Bancroft?
Copy !req
59. I believe he's smart enough
to try to kill two birds with one stone.
Copy !req
60. I'm not strolling into that dinner party
with a bull's-eye on my forehead.
Copy !req
61. Oh, I would gladly accompany you
if I could,
Copy !req
62. - but alas, I cannot be elsewhere.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
63. My neural network
is part of the building itself.
Copy !req
64. Think of the hotel as a body,
of which I am the brain.
Copy !req
65. I am the hotel.
Copy !req
66. The hotel is me.
Copy !req
67. Which leaves you
without a man in the field.
Copy !req
68. You as a wingman
wasn't quite what I had in mind.
Copy !req
69. You're like a computer program, right?
You can go anywhere you want on the Array.
Copy !req
70. Anywhere data flows, so can I.
Copy !req
71. What kind of virtual protocols
do you have?
Copy !req
72. - A veritable cornucopia, ranging from—
- Psychosurgery therapeutics?
Copy !req
73. I've never sought that specific license,
but I can.
Copy !req
74. How long would that take?
Copy !req
75. - Done.
Copy !req
76. Are you to be the patient?
Copy !req
77. No.
Copy !req
78. - Hey.
I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
79. Ms. Prescott. To what do I owe
the complete lack of pleasure?
Copy !req
80. Detective Ortega. Nice to see you, too.
Copy !req
81. And save the attitude.
I'm just here to invite you to dinner.
Copy !req
82. I'd rather starve.
Copy !req
83. I'm afraid you don't have much choice.
Captain, perhaps you could—
Copy !req
84. Ms. Prescott has requested a permit
for an Extreme Organic Damage event
Copy !req
85. at Suntouch House tonight.
Copy !req
86. This permit's time-stamped
two hours ago.
Copy !req
87. Fucking Meth bullshit.
No one gets these approved that fast.
Copy !req
88. Be that as it may, Mr. Bancroft
would like you to monitor the bout
Copy !req
89. on behalf of the Bay City Police.
Copy !req
90. That's a job for a Uni.
Copy !req
91. You've been specially requested.
It's an honor.
Copy !req
92. Thank you, Captain.
Copy !req
93. And I'll see you tonight, Detective.
Copy !req
94. Seriously? I have cases to work.
Copy !req
95. You can work them tomorrow.
Copy !req
96. - Tonight, you kiss the ring.
Copy !req
97. Whatever this thing is
with you and Bancroft,
Copy !req
98. I need you to bury it
for the good of the department.
Copy !req
99. So just go, accept the honor
of being invited to the Aerium
Copy !req
100. on behalf of all us lowly grounders.
Copy !req
101. Smile, nod, and then get the hell out.
Copy !req
102. - Ah. Just the man I'm looking for.
- Shut up and get out.
Copy !req
103. Can we skip to the next part,
or do I gotta knock you out again?
Copy !req
104. This time, I'm ready for you—
Copy !req
105. See, if you want to lose a fight,
you should talk about it first.
Copy !req
106. This some of your
terrorist brainwashing bullshit?
Copy !req
107. Nah, just some friendly advice
from the guy who just disarmed you.
Copy !req
108. - What do you want?
- To offer you some gainful employment.
Copy !req
109. Which you could clearly use.
You were pretty good backup.
Copy !req
110. I thought we could work a trade.
You help me, and, uh... I'll help Lizzie.
Copy !req
111. I'm not letting you near my daughter
ever again.
Copy !req
112. She needs psychosurgery.
Copy !req
113. Who's gonna pay for that?
- I'll just put it on the Bancroft tab.
Copy !req
114. I'm not taking anything from that fuck.
Copy !req
115. I don't think he did it.
Copy !req
116. He's into consensual death.
Copy !req
117. - He replaces the sleeves he kills.
- That's fucked up.
Copy !req
118. - It's true. Doesn't make him guilty.
- Sure doesn't make him innocent, either.
Copy !req
119. Let's make a deal. I'll keep looking into
what happened to Lizzie,
Copy !req
120. and if I find out that Bancroft did it
and you wanna blow his brains out...
Copy !req
121. I'm not gonna stop you.
I'll hand you the fucking gun.
Copy !req
122. You don't care about Lizzie.
Copy !req
123. Don't take this personally, but...
Copy !req
124. I don't care about anyone.
Copy !req
125. But if it gets me what I want,
I'll still help her.
Copy !req
126. How?
Copy !req
127. - Salutations.
- Seriously, you've gotta stop that.
Copy !req
128. You've brought a friend
to my humble establishment.
Copy !req
129. Greetings, fine sir.
It is an honor to make your acquaintance.
Copy !req
130. - Who's this?
- I'm his partner.
Copy !req
131. No.
Copy !req
132. - I'm his esteemed colleague.
- Still no.
Copy !req
133. I am the proprietor of the hotel.
Copy !req
134. He is the hotel.
Copy !req
135. - This is Poe.
- I knew this place was too empty.
Copy !req
136. - Is this one of those freaky AI place—
- You are in the Raven.
Copy !req
137. An establishment of peerless repute,
timeless quality.
Copy !req
138. And extra room, virtual and otherwise.
Tell him, Poe.
Copy !req
139. I have upskilled for psychosurgery
to Protocol Level Nine
Copy !req
140. and prepared a VR suite for your daughter.
Copy !req
141. She must be removed from human contact.
Copy !req
142. Every time she is spun back up,
her mental state deteriorates.
Copy !req
143. - So you're saying—
I can heal her mind.
Copy !req
144. But you will not be able to see her.
Copy !req
145. For how long?
Copy !req
146. I cannot say until I've assessed her.
But her condition sounds severe.
Copy !req
147. - I won't be able to talk to her?
No.
Copy !req
148. Not at all.
Copy !req
149. Do I have your consent?
Copy !req
150. In the field, you're under fire...
Copy !req
151. a guy goes down, he's injured,
but he's too heavy to carry.
Copy !req
152. You rip his stack and you move on.
Kill a sleeve to save his life.
Copy !req
153. I'm afraid I cannot construe
your graphic war—
Copy !req
154. I understand that sometimes you have to
get burned to pull somebody from the fire.
Copy !req
155. I consent.
Copy !req
156. Your faith in me is not misplaced, sir.
Copy !req
157. If it is,
Copy !req
158. I will personally reduce this place
to a smoking pile of rubble,
Copy !req
159. and you along with it.
Copy !req
160. Ah.
Copy !req
161. Lovely.
Copy !req
162. So what do you want from me?
Copy !req
163. You look like a man
with friends in low places.
Copy !req
164. I need some hardware.
Copy !req
165. What are you doing?
Copy !req
166. Detecting.
Copy !req
167. That is my job after all.
Copy !req
168. Okay, think about this.
Copy !req
169. What do we really know
about Mary Lou Henchy?
Copy !req
170. What? They found the body.
Copy !req
171. Tanaka was right.
The mom got what she wanted.
Copy !req
172. Yeah, but we didn't clear it.
Copy !req
173. That would be,
as I believe you pointed out,
Copy !req
174. because it's not your case. Leave it.
Copy !req
175. What we know is...
Copy !req
176. she fell out of the sky from nowhere.
Which is impossible.
Copy !req
177. So she must have been
tossed out of an aircar—
Copy !req
178. Still not your case.
Copy !req
179. Mary Lou Henchy was thrown
from somewhere up high.
Copy !req
180. And quite a few of the people that
live up there will be at Suntouch tonight.
Copy !req
181. All the times we've wanted
to question Meths and been stonewalled,
Copy !req
182. and now... I've been invited
into a house full of them.
Copy !req
183. You know, your father asked me
to look out for you before he died.
Copy !req
184. Perfect. Then you can patch into my ONI
and remote scan their vehicles.
Copy !req
185. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
186. Why do you have a picture
of Chief Justice Ertekin on your monitor?
Copy !req
187. Because she's gonna be
at Bancroft's tonight,
Copy !req
188. along with all these other Meths.
Copy !req
189. It's the guest list.
Copy !req
190. AKA potential suspects
in Mary Lou's death.
Copy !req
191. It's gonna be great.
Copy !req
192. Gotta find something to wear.
Copy !req
193. Good news, everyone.
It's sugar skull season again!
Copy !req
194. Día de los Muertos is tomorrow
and preparations are in full swing.
Copy !req
195. Takeshi Kovacs?
What kind of schizophrenic name is that?
Copy !req
196. It's Slavic and Japanese.
Copy !req
197. In the case of my parents,
a match made in hell.
Copy !req
198. Here you go. There we go.
Copy !req
199. Okay, take care, you guys. Be good.
Copy !req
200. - Here.
- The fuck you talking about?
Copy !req
201. I said I needed weapons,
not malted milk balls.
Copy !req
202. Point-one-six percent actual fruit.
Copy !req
203. Go on.
Copy !req
204. - Credit check.
- Fuck you, credit check,
Copy !req
205. you broke-as-fuck jarhead.
I ain't got no freebies.
Copy !req
206. Nothin' for you.
Copy !req
207. Credit approved.
Beryllium level.
Copy !req
208. That's right, motherfucker.
Beryllium level.
Copy !req
209. - Consider these classic beauties.
No.
Copy !req
210. If I wanted cheap and legal,
I'd go to HugeMart, not you.
Copy !req
211. Stop trying to unload your old inventory
and show us the good stuff.
Copy !req
212. Ingram 40 flechette gun.
Copy !req
213. Now this is what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
214. - Prototype?
- CTAC R and D.
Copy !req
215. Uses flanged armor-piercing rounds.
Ten-round clip. Homing tech on board.
Copy !req
216. - Don't put your hand there.
- Why?
Copy !req
217. Here, I'll show you.
Copy !req
218. Son of a bitch!
Copy !req
219. Put the gun down.
Copy !req
220. You two are sweet.
Copy !req
221. Stay down.
Copy !req
222. That's why.
Copy !req
223. Reverse the field generator,
Copy !req
224. the flechette homes
through a plasma chamber,
Copy !req
225. autoloads right into the mag.
Copy !req
226. You could have skewered me
like a kebab. Twice!
Copy !req
227. I'll take it.
Copy !req
228. That's a nice piece of custom
you got there. You mind?
Copy !req
229. Modified second series Nemex?
Copy !req
230. Hey!
Copy !req
231. - Where did you get this?
- A guy who doesn't need it anymore.
Copy !req
232. - Fair enough.
- You got any blades?
Copy !req
233. Yeah.
Copy !req
234. Tebbit knife.
Copy !req
235. Tantalum steel alloy blade.
Flint in the pommel for weighting.
Copy !req
236. - Bioweapon coating?
- Runnel's coated with Reaper.
Copy !req
237. Uh, betathanatine. Shit scientists
cooked up to study near-death experience.
Copy !req
238. Deeper you stab,
the more dose you get.
Copy !req
239. Ring it up. Plus whatever he wants.
Copy !req
240. Uh, give me a... Ooh. Sunjet 2320.
Copy !req
241. Yeah.
Copy !req
242. Classics never go out of style.
Copy !req
243. You must learn the weakness of weapons.
Copy !req
244. This sleeve is a tool.
Copy !req
245. It does not control me. I control it.
Copy !req
246. The true strength of the wolf isn't fangs,
speed, and skill. It's the pack.
Copy !req
247. Whatever world you needlecast into,
build a pack.
Copy !req
248. Find ways to inspire loyalty
in a few capable locals.
Copy !req
249. Even if many of them
will ultimately be expendable.
Copy !req
250. We are Envoys.
Copy !req
251. And we take what is offered.
Copy !req
252. What's with all the pink?
Copy !req
253. It's Poe's idea of nonthreatening.
Copy !req
254. Looks like the inside
of someone's stomach.
Copy !req
255. She's not saying anything.
Copy !req
256. It's not working.
Copy !req
257. I am here for whatever you require.
You have my most solemn oath.
Copy !req
258. They took Mommy away
because she stole stars from the sky.
Copy !req
259. They ripped her soul out
through her eyes and froze it.
Copy !req
260. Now she just spins around and around,
Copy !req
261. a dancer in the frost.
Copy !req
262. She has icicles in her hair.
Copy !req
263. I will let nothing harm you in this place.
Copy !req
264. No. Where'd they go?
Copy !req
265. She spoke! She spoke.
Copy !req
266. She did. He's making progress.
Copy !req
267. He's not even human.
Copy !req
268. - What the fuck am I doing?
- The right thing.
Copy !req
269. She's a guest now.
I mean, he'd die to protect her.
Copy !req
270. Poe can be very... focused.
Copy !req
271. She's safe.
Copy !req
272. Which means I kept my part of the bargain.
Copy !req
273. So now you want me to go to Bancroft's
with you to a party?
Copy !req
274. I don't know what I'm walking into.
I need you to watch my six.
Copy !req
275. Shopping and a night out.
You need to get a girlfriend, man.
Copy !req
276. I'm not bringing you along
so you can take a shot at Bancroft.
Copy !req
277. - You're there to watch my back.
- I got you.
Copy !req
278. Nothing else.
Copy !req
279. I got you.
Copy !req
280. - Gonna need to search the bag, sir.
Copy !req
281. I would've left it in the car, but I
really don't trust this neighborhood.
Copy !req
282. Drink, gentlemen?
Copy !req
283. Fuckin' penguin suit?
Copy !req
284. My apologies, sir.
Copy !req
285. I'm afraid this is the best I could do
on such short notice.
Copy !req
286. No weapons on the grounds.
Copy !req
287. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
288. I like your idea of fashion.
Copy !req
289. - Or is this your "something unique"?
- "Something unique" what?
Copy !req
290. Laurens asked everyone to bring
something utterly unique.
Copy !req
291. Didn't he tell you?
Copy !req
292. A theme party? What is he, 12?
Copy !req
293. I assume he has ulterior motives.
Copy !req
294. There was a spybot in our room last night.
Copy !req
295. Someone was watching.
Copy !req
296. Were they?
Copy !req
297. I trust my charming wife
is keeping you entertained?
Copy !req
298. Extremely.
Copy !req
299. My apologies then, but you and I
have got some business we need to discuss.
Copy !req
300. Meet me upstairs.
Copy !req
301. - See you in a moment.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
302. Miriam.
Copy !req
303. Be careful.
Copy !req
304. All right.
Copy !req
305. Everyone on the invite list
is accounted for,
Copy !req
306. so let's start checking them off.
Copy !req
307. Oh, only 276 aircars to track.
Copy !req
308. We only need flight logs
for one specific night.
Copy !req
309. And most of the cars were on the ground
Copy !req
310. in the time Mary Lou Henchy
could have been tossed.
Copy !req
311. They'll be easy to eliminate.
Copy !req
312. Yeah, easy for you to say,
because I'll be doing it.
Copy !req
313. - Quit bitching.
- I'm not bitching.
Copy !req
314. You gotta be kidding me.
- What?
Copy !req
315. - Son of a bitch Kovacs is here.
- Okay, try to relax. Have a cocktail.
Copy !req
316. - They've got the good stuff up there.
- You don't even drink.
Copy !req
317. I'm a Muslim, not a monk.
Copy !req
318. I don't begrudge you infidels
a little mood modification,
Copy !req
319. especially if it makes you lay off
your crazy conspiracy theories.
Copy !req
320. Thanks. I appreciate that.
Copy !req
321. Anytime. That's what I'm here for.
Copy !req
322. Kristin Ortega, BCPD. Organic Damage.
Copy !req
323. Normally a street cop does that.
Copy !req
324. Yeah. Don't fucking remind me.
Fighting licenses?
Copy !req
325. Sir, you have to lose the ring.
Copy !req
326. My sleeve got killed in the last bout.
This one's got bigger hands.
Copy !req
327. - But it's a wedding ring so...
- I made him jam it on.
Copy !req
328. You— You guys are married?
Copy !req
329. Gotta provide for the kids somehow, right?
Copy !req
330. Hey, Lieutenant.
Like the uniform.
Copy !req
331. - Who are these guys?
- They fight to the sleeve death.
Copy !req
332. The winner gets an upgraded combat sleeve.
The loser gets a downgraded one.
Copy !req
333. - And they're married.
- We have kids. Want to see a picture?
Copy !req
334. What? So you go home to your kids
as strangers?
Copy !req
335. Oh, they're used to it.
Copy !req
336. - How old are they?
- Five and seven.
Copy !req
337. They're not used to it.
Copy !req
338. I need a drink.
Copy !req
339. Why are you here?
Copy !req
340. - I told you, there's nothing here for you.
- Someone bugged my room last night.
Copy !req
341. That feels like something.
Copy !req
342. You think any one of these people
would bother spying on you?
Copy !req
343. They were either watching me
or Miriam Bancroft.
Copy !req
344. Miriam was in your room last night? Why?
Copy !req
345. Looking for leverage.
Copy !req
346. She get any? Leverage?
Copy !req
347. I think you'd be more interested
in who was spying on me.
Copy !req
348. You slept with a suspect?
Copy !req
349. There's no suspect
if there's no case, right?
Copy !req
350. That's not a denial.
Copy !req
351. Stay out of my way.
Copy !req
352. No problem.
Copy !req
353. Something you wanna tell me?
Copy !req
354. Yes, I've been giving some thought
to which of our guests
Copy !req
355. might warrant your attention
Copy !req
356. and which certainly are not suspects.
Copy !req
357. I thought you were gonna tell me
Copy !req
358. about your habit of going to biocabins
and beating women nearly to death?
Copy !req
359. Didn't consider it
to be particularly important.
Copy !req
360. Yes, I have spent some time
in purchased sexual release,
Copy !req
361. both virtual and real.
Copy !req
362. But then, I've also spent time
offworld gambling
Copy !req
363. or indulging my passion
for null-gravity knife fighting.
Copy !req
364. You certainly find some enemies there.
Copy !req
365. But I have never taken a single life.
Copy !req
366. Unlike you, I have a line
that I am very careful not to cross.
Copy !req
367. You better watch yourself.
Are you okay?
Copy !req
368. My son cannot hold his liquor.
Copy !req
369. Maybe he pulled the trigger.
Copy !req
370. Isaac? I only wish he had the balls.
Copy !req
371. Often wonder where I went wrong
with that one.
Copy !req
372. - Gave him every advantage.
- Except one.
Copy !req
373. There's a natural order
to birth and death.
Copy !req
374. Boy changing to a man. You interrupted it.
Copy !req
375. Natural order? You sound
like one of those insane Neo-Catholics.
Copy !req
376. You've lost comrades, Mr. Kovacs.
Copy !req
377. People you cared for... or loved, even.
Copy !req
378. If you'd lived in this time,
you could have them all back.
Copy !req
379. So whatever the price is,
surely you'd be happy to pay it.
Copy !req
380. Death isn't up to us to give or withhold.
Copy !req
381. Oh.
Copy !req
382. You think we should leave it up to God,
do you?
Copy !req
383. Oh, Mr. Kovacs, haven't you heard?
God is dead.
Copy !req
384. We have taken his place.
Copy !req
385. If you're a god, then, uh,
what the hell do you need me for?
Copy !req
386. Every deity has minions.
Copy !req
387. Observe. Absorb.
Copy !req
388. Find what others have missed.
Copy !req
389. He throws a party
with his brains on the wall as decor.
Copy !req
390. Best news of the year?
When I heard he got torched.
Copy !req
391. I once hated Laurens.
Copy !req
392. But 100 years pass
and you realize there's just no upside.
Copy !req
393. We are all going to go through the rest
of humanity's future stuck together.
Copy !req
394. Excuse me.
Copy !req
395. I can't believe we've never met.
Copy !req
396. Been offworld. Just came back
to settle an old debt with Laurens,
Copy !req
397. but someone else beat me to it.
Copy !req
398. You don't approve?
Copy !req
399. It's terrifying that a killer
could get to one of us.
Copy !req
400. Sickening.
Copy !req
401. You don't think he killed himself?
Copy !req
402. Whoever murdered him
must be found and punished
Copy !req
403. or we're all in danger.
Copy !req
404. Abboud, I want you to scan someone for me.
Copy !req
405. Guy I'm looking at
wasn't on the invite list.
Copy !req
406. I don't see anybody.
Copy !req
407. Where the hell have you been?
You're supposed to be watching my back.
Copy !req
408. These people drink like fish.
I keep having to get refills.
Copy !req
409. - Are you even listening?
- No.
Copy !req
410. - Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
411. Give us a moment, please?
Copy !req
412. Only way you stay
is if you're unconscious.
Copy !req
413. It's your call.
Copy !req
414. - You can't say anything about this.
- Who are you?
Copy !req
415. - You know who I am.
- I know who you're not.
Copy !req
416. - I have no idea what you mean.
- What's my name?
Copy !req
417. Uh...
Copy !req
418. Fine. I'm Naomi.
Copy !req
419. The 12th daughter.
Copy !req
420. And you are?
Copy !req
421. Wondering why you're fucking
in your mother's sleeve.
Copy !req
422. Her clones are state of the art.
Copy !req
423. Why wouldn't I want
to take 'em for a spin?
Copy !req
424. I have fun, okay?
Copy !req
425. And friends like Curtis
have even more fun.
Copy !req
426. The gun that killed your father
Copy !req
427. was locked in a bio-coded safe that
only he or your mother could open.
Copy !req
428. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
429. Or a kid wearing her mother's sleeve.
Copy !req
430. First of all, I'm not a kid.
I'm 67 years old.
Copy !req
431. And secondly, if my father dies,
like, real death dies,
Copy !req
432. the family gets nothing.
It's written into his will.
Copy !req
433. So, if I killed him, I'd be penniless.
And I do not do penniless.
Copy !req
434. That's how he protects himself.
Copy !req
435. For children who were
never allowed to grow up...
Copy !req
436. greed isn't the only motive for killing.
Copy !req
437. Excuse me,
is this young man bothering you?
Copy !req
438. I was still talking!
Copy !req
439. He told a joke about a samurai
having carnal relations
Copy !req
440. with an alley cat.
Copy !req
441. It was a metaphor for my experience
with Japanese assholes like you.
Copy !req
442. Your deal with Mr. Bancroft
hardly requires you to endure abuse.
Copy !req
443. Apologies.
Copy !req
444. That accord was months in the making.
Copy !req
445. It will not be broken by this child.
Copy !req
446. Excuse me.
Copy !req
447. Get off me!
Copy !req
448. How drunk do you have to get
to go Oedipal on the old man?
Copy !req
449. I'm not stupid. He's backed up.
We're all backed up.
Copy !req
450. Mr. Kovacs,
what do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
451. Isaac, are you okay?
Copy !req
452. You're crazy. You know that?
Copy !req
453. I expected something more impressive than
slamming a spoiled child against a wall.
Copy !req
454. - Maybe I was wrong about you, Mr. Kovacs.
- Since we just met, chances are good.
Copy !req
455. Clarissa Severin.
I deal in art and antiquities.
Copy !req
456. And you're the Envoy.
Copy !req
457. Oh, don't worry. Oumou didn't say a word.
Copy !req
458. Laurens has been obsessed
with Quellcrist Falconer for...
Copy !req
459. Well, forever.
Copy !req
460. I really must thank you.
Copy !req
461. The finder's fee for something as unusual
as you was really quite considerable.
Copy !req
462. Find you at the bar, Oumou.
Copy !req
463. What finder's fee?
Copy !req
464. Do you understand what's at stake
if you humiliate yourself by—
Copy !req
465. Doing my job? Why do you suddenly care
about my table manners?
Copy !req
466. This isn't about me. It's about you.
Copy !req
467. My behavior isn't the issue—
Copy !req
468. How many non-Meths
are guests at this party?
Copy !req
469. Two. You and me.
Copy !req
470. Do you know how many years it took me
to get invited into this house as a guest
Copy !req
471. and not the help?
Copy !req
472. - You want to become one of them.
- I will become one.
Copy !req
473. - What's this finder's fee?
- Oh...
Copy !req
474. Clarissa suggested bringing you back and
took quite a commission on finding you.
Copy !req
475. You're just the intersection
between Bancroft's nostalgia
Copy !req
476. and Clarissa's business sense.
Copy !req
477. You're an indulgence,
like an overbred pet.
Copy !req
478. I wasn't any further
than I had been when I walked in the door.
Copy !req
479. But one thing I knew for sure.
Copy !req
480. Not one of these people gave a damn
about any life but their own.
Copy !req
481. For my unique object,
I brought this hand...
Copy !req
482. which belonged to Konrad Harlan,
Founding Father of Harlan's World.
Copy !req
483. And he has an important message
for everybody here.
Copy !req
484. It's brilliant.
Just call more attention to yourself.
Copy !req
485. Oh, come on, that was funny.
Copy !req
486. I chose to wear my unique object.
Copy !req
487. They tell us it's illegal
to download the human mind
Copy !req
488. into anything but a human body.
Copy !req
489. But I say fuck that.
Copy !req
490. - Laws don't apply to people like us.
Copy !req
491. So meet Janus, a rapist and a murderer
Copy !req
492. who was scheduled for erasure
when I plucked him from the shredder
Copy !req
493. and I offered him a place by my side.
Copy !req
494. Hey.
Copy !req
495. No unauthorized personnel.
Copy !req
496. Oh. Huh.
Copy !req
497. It's too bad
he didn't read the fine print.
Copy !req
498. - Hey, uh, you want a drink?
- Not supposed to drink on duty.
Copy !req
499. Like these skyshits know
what being on duty is.
Copy !req
500. - Ooh-rah.
- Ooh-fuckin'-rah. Pass the hooch.
Copy !req
501. I was curious what would happen to a man
if you downloaded him into a reptile.
Copy !req
502. The neomammalian complex, stuffed
into the most base of basal ganglia.
Copy !req
503. - For science.
Copy !req
504. Turns out you go quite mad.
Copy !req
505. I tried resleeving him once,
and he just lay on the ground and writhed.
Copy !req
506. So now he's a snake forever.
Copy !req
507. - Ow. What the fuck?
- Reaper.
Copy !req
508. You'll only be out for a few minutes.
I need the room.
Copy !req
509. You shouldn't tell anybody about this,
because they'll fire you.
Copy !req
510. Oh, and take some analgesics
and be sure to hydrate when you wake up.
Copy !req
511. Tonight...
Copy !req
512. I offer you something more rare
than any of you can possibly imagine.
Copy !req
513. Something no one owns
in the entire Protectorate...
Copy !req
514. but me.
Copy !req
515. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
516. I give you the last Envoy.
Copy !req
517. - Takeshi Kovacs.
Copy !req
518. Now, please...
Copy !req
519. enjoy the entertainment
we have for you tonight.
Copy !req
520. Please proceed to the arena.
Copy !req
521. Combat sleeves
to null-gravity-ready positions.
Copy !req
522. Yes.
Copy !req
523. I thought you didn't want to own me.
Copy !req
524. In this world,
Copy !req
525. the only real choice is between being
the purchaser and the purchased.
Copy !req
526. Shh!
Copy !req
527. Tonight,
Copy !req
528. combat to sleeve death...
Copy !req
529. between a married couple
who love each other.
Copy !req
530. Married fighters?
Copy !req
531. Prepare to launch.
- Seems in poor taste.
Copy !req
532. No one is forcing them.
Copy !req
533. They could choose not to fight
if they wanted to.
Copy !req
534. three, two, one.
Copy !req
535. - It is a marriage... after all.
Copy !req
536. If you're trying to impress me,
you're failing.
Copy !req
537. You're far more entertaining
than you know, Mr. Kovacs.
Copy !req
538. Combat sleeves
must reenter null g-force field.
Copy !req
539. Take him out, I'll upgrade you both.
Copy !req
540. [man 1] Destroy the Envoy!
Copy !req
541. [man 2] Make him pay!
Copy !req
542. Shut it off.
Copy !req
543. Sorry, ma'am.
Fight sequence is locked.
Copy !req
544. Move. Move.
Copy !req
545. Elliot, where the fuck are you?
Copy !req
546. I'm busy right now.
I'll call you back, okay?
Copy !req
547. You're not licensed for this.
Copy !req
548. There's no paperwork on the Envoy.
Copy !req
549. Oh, dear.
One of those unfortunate accidents.
Copy !req
550. Legally, of course, he is my property.
Copy !req
551. Let's raise the stakes, shall we?
Copy !req
552. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
553. BCPD, give me that weapon!
Copy !req
554. Ah!
Copy !req
555. Gun just went off.
Copy !req
556. One of those unfortunate accidents.
Copy !req
557. Show's over, folks.
Copy !req
558. His sleeve...
Copy !req
559. it's wrecked!
Copy !req
560. You fought an Envoy and lived.
Call it good.
Copy !req
561. But nobody died. We get nothing!
Copy !req
562. - I can't even afford to fix him.
Copy !req
563. They can have my winnings.
Upgraded sleeves for both of 'em.
Copy !req
564. Or you gonna go back on your word?
Copy !req
565. By all means. It's only fair.
Copy !req
566. Let's start by being very clear
with one another, shall we?
Copy !req
567. Stay away from my wife.
Copy !req
568. So you're spying on her.
Copy !req
569. I— I don't need to spy on her.
Copy !req
570. No, when you've been married
to the same woman for over 100 years,
Copy !req
571. you know what she does
and you know what she can't help doing.
Copy !req
572. Why do you care
what your wife does in her spare time,
Copy !req
573. considering what you're doing in yours?
Copy !req
574. Your limited life experience
cannot possibly encompass what it is
Copy !req
575. to love another person for over 100 years.
Copy !req
576. You achieve something close to veneration.
Copy !req
577. How does one match such respect
with the basest desires of the flesh?
Copy !req
578. So you love your wife too much
to fuck her?
Copy !req
579. I certainly love my wife too much
to let you fuck her.
Copy !req
580. Now, do you have anything to report
on your investigations tonight?
Copy !req
581. No. Great party, though.
Copy !req
582. Thanks.
Copy !req
583. Where the hell were you?
Copy !req
584. I had shit of my own to take care of.
Copy !req
585. Nothing that could possibly be worth
letting me get cut to ribbons.
Copy !req
586. Surveillance data.
Night Lizzie disappeared.
Copy !req
587. - You get something?
- Let you know when I scrub through it.
Copy !req
588. - You get anything?
- Yeah, I got nauseated.
Copy !req
589. This place, the way they live,
what they do for fun...
Copy !req
590. Nothing matters to them.
The longer they live, the worse it gets.
Copy !req
591. They get bored, so...
Copy !req
592. This is yours.
Copy !req
593. By the way, who are you?
Copy !req
594. Supposed to be my backup. And that's mine.
Copy !req
595. I didn't expect you to be
part of the floor show.
Copy !req
596. - Vernon Elliot.
- Kristin Ortega.
Copy !req
597. For just a few hours,
stay out of trouble, okay?
Copy !req
598. Saving your ass is not my only job.
Copy !req
599. Whatever you say, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
600. I like her.
Copy !req
601. Wait ten minutes.
Copy !req
602. So, where you going?
Copy !req
603. I got something to chase down.
Copy !req
604. Uh, you need, uh... need some backup?
Copy !req
605. Let me catch up with you later.
Copy !req
606. Alice...
Copy !req
607. it's me... Ava.
Copy !req
608. What happened?
Copy !req
609. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
610. They made me do it.
Copy !req
611. Made you what?
Copy !req
612. I told you she'd do it.
Copy !req
613. Put him in number five.
How long you think he's gonna take?
Copy !req
614. Long as we need.
Copy !req
615. He's waking up. Dose him.
Copy !req
616. We stick together, Rei.
Copy !req
617. Never face the monsters alone.
Copy !req
