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. 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. 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.
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—
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. Oh, here she is.
Copy !req
80. Ms. Prescott. To what do I owe
the complete lack of pleasure?
Copy !req
81. Detective Ortega. Nice to see you, too.
Copy !req
82. And save the attitude.
I'm just here to invite you to dinner.
Copy !req
83. I'd rather starve.
Copy !req
84. I'm afraid you don't have much choice.
Captain, perhaps you could—
Copy !req
85. Ms. Prescott has requested a permit
for an Extreme Organic Damage event
Copy !req
86. at Suntouch House tonight.
Copy !req
87. This permit's time-stamped
two hours ago.
Copy !req
88. Fucking Meth bullshit.
No one gets these approved that fast.
Copy !req
89. Be that as it may, Mr. Bancroft
would like you to monitor the bout
Copy !req
90. on behalf of the Bay City Police.
Copy !req
91. That's a job for a Uni.
Copy !req
92. You've been specially requested.
It's an honor.
Copy !req
93. Thank you, Captain.
Copy !req
94. And I'll see you tonight, Detective.
Copy !req
95. Seriously? I have cases to work.
Copy !req
96. You can work them tomorrow.
Copy !req
97. Tonight, you kiss the ring.
Copy !req
98. Whatever this thing is
with you and Bancroft,
Copy !req
99. I need you to bury it
for the good of the department.
Copy !req
100. So just go, accept the honor
of being invited to the Aerium
Copy !req
101. on behalf of all us lowly grounders.
Copy !req
102. Smile, nod, and then get the hell out.
Copy !req
103. - Ah. Just the man I'm looking for.
- Shut up and get out.
Copy !req
104. Can we skip to the next part,
or do I gotta knock you out again?
Copy !req
105. This time, I'm ready for you—
Copy !req
106. See, if you want to lose a fight,
you should talk about it first.
Copy !req
107. This some of your
terrorist brainwashing bullshit?
Copy !req
108. Nah, just some friendly advice
from the guy who just disarmed you.
Copy !req
109. To offer you some gainful employment.
Copy !req
110. Which you could clearly use.
You were pretty good backup.
Copy !req
111. I thought we could work a trade.
You help me, and, uh... I'll help Lizzie.
Copy !req
112. I'm not letting you near my daughter
ever again.
Copy !req
113. She needs psychosurgery.
Copy !req
114. - Who's gonna pay for that?
- I'll just put it on the Bancroft tab.
Copy !req
115. I'm not taking anything from that fuck.
Copy !req
116. I don't think he did it.
Copy !req
117. He's into consensual death.
Copy !req
118. - He replaces the sleeves he kills.
- That's fucked up.
Copy !req
119. - It's true. Doesn't make him guilty.
- Sure doesn't make him innocent, either.
Copy !req
120. Let's make a deal. I'll keep looking into
what happened to Lizzie,
Copy !req
121. and if I find out that Bancroft did it
and you wanna blow his brains out...
Copy !req
122. I'm not gonna stop you.
I'll hand you the fucking gun.
Copy !req
123. You don't care about Lizzie.
Copy !req
124. Don't take this personally, but...
Copy !req
125. I don't care about anyone.
Copy !req
126. But if it gets me what I want,
I'll still help her.
Copy !req
127. How?
Copy !req
128. - Salutations.
- Seriously, you've gotta stop that.
Copy !req
129. You've brought a friend
to my humble establishment.
Copy !req
130. Greetings, fine sir.
It is an honor to make your acquaintance.
Copy !req
131. I'm his partner.
Copy !req
132. No.
Copy !req
133. - I'm his esteemed colleague.
- Still no.
Copy !req
134. I am the proprietor of the hotel.
Copy !req
135. He is the hotel.
Copy !req
136. - This is Poe.
- I knew this place was too empty.
Copy !req
137. - Is this one of those freaky AI place—
- You are in the Raven.
Copy !req
138. An establishment of peerless repute,
timeless quality.
Copy !req
139. And extra room, virtual and otherwise.
Tell him, Poe.
Copy !req
140. I have upskilled for psychosurgery
to Protocol Level Nine
Copy !req
141. and prepared a VR suite for your daughter.
Copy !req
142. She must be removed from human contact.
Copy !req
143. Every time she is spun back up,
her mental state deteriorates.
Copy !req
144. So you're saying—
I can heal her mind.
Copy !req
145. But you will not be able to see her.
Copy !req
146. For how long?
Copy !req
147. I cannot say until I've assessed her.
But her condition sounds severe.
Copy !req
148. No.
Copy !req
149. Not at all.
Copy !req
150. Do I have your consent?
Copy !req
151. In the field, you're under fire...
Copy !req
152. a guy goes down, he's injured,
but he's too heavy to carry.
Copy !req
153. You rip his stack and you move on.
Kill a sleeve to save his life.
Copy !req
154. I'm afraid I cannot construe
your graphic war—
Copy !req
155. I understand that sometimes you have to
get burned to pull somebody from the fire.
Copy !req
156. I consent.
Copy !req
157. Your faith in me is not misplaced, sir.
Copy !req
158. If it is,
Copy !req
159. I will personally reduce this place
to a smoking pile of rubble,
Copy !req
160. and you along with it.
Copy !req
161. Ah.
Copy !req
162. Lovely.
Copy !req
163. So what do you want from me?
Copy !req
164. You look like a man
with friends in low places.
Copy !req
165. I need some hardware.
Copy !req
166. What are you doing?
Copy !req
167. Detecting.
Copy !req
168. That is my job after all.
Copy !req
169. Okay, think about this.
Copy !req
170. What do we really know
about Mary Lou Henchy?
Copy !req
171. What? They found the body.
Copy !req
172. Tanaka was right.
The mom got what she wanted.
Copy !req
173. Yeah, but we didn't clear it.
Copy !req
174. That would be,
as I believe you pointed out,
Copy !req
175. because it's not your case. Leave it.
Copy !req
176. What we know is...
Copy !req
177. she fell out of the sky from nowhere.
Which is impossible.
Copy !req
178. So she must have been
tossed out of an aircar—
Copy !req
179. Still not your case.
Copy !req
180. Mary Lou Henchy was thrown
from somewhere up high.
Copy !req
181. And quite a few of the people that
live up there will be at Suntouch tonight.
Copy !req
182. All the times we've wanted
to question Meths and been stonewalled,
Copy !req
183. and now... I've been invited
into a house full of them.
Copy !req
184. You know, your father asked me
to look out for you before he died.
Copy !req
185. Perfect. Then you can patch into my ONI
and remote scan their vehicles.
Copy !req
186. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
187. Why do you have a picture
of Chief Justice Ertekin on your monitor?
Copy !req
188. Because she's gonna be
at Bancroft's tonight,
Copy !req
189. along with all these other Meths.
Copy !req
190. It's the guest list.
Copy !req
191. AKA potential suspects
in Mary Lou's death.
Copy !req
192. It's gonna be great.
Copy !req
193. Gotta find something to wear.
Copy !req
194. Good news, everyone.
It's sugar skull season again!
Copy !req
195. Día de los Muertos is tomorrow
and preparations are in full swing.
Copy !req
196. Takeshi Kovacs?
What kind of schizophrenic name is that?
Copy !req
197. It's Slavic and Japanese.
Copy !req
198. In the case of my parents,
a match made in hell.
Copy !req
199. Here you go. There we go.
Copy !req
200. Okay, take care, you guys. Be good.
Copy !req
201. Here.
Copy !req
202. I said I needed weapons,
not malted milk balls. 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. 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.
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. A guy who doesn't need it anymore.
Copy !req
232. Fair enough.
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. 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. - The right thing. She's a guest now.
- I mean, he'd die to protect her.
Copy !req
269. Poe can be very... focused.
Copy !req
270. She's safe.
Copy !req
271. Which means I kept my part of the bargain.
Copy !req
272. So now you want me to go to Bancroft's
with you to a party?
Copy !req
273. I don't know what I'm walking into.
I need you to watch my six.
Copy !req
274. Shopping and a night out.
You need to get a girlfriend, man.
Copy !req
275. I'm not bringing you along
so you can take a shot at Bancroft.
Copy !req
276. - You're there to watch my back.
- I got you.
Copy !req
277. Nothing else.
Copy !req
278. I got you.
Copy !req
279. Gonna need to search the bag, sir.
Copy !req
280. I would've left it in the car, but I
really don't trust this neighborhood.
Copy !req
281. Drink, gentlemen?
Copy !req
282. Fuckin' penguin suit?
Copy !req
283. My apologies, sir.
Copy !req
284. I'm afraid this is the best I could do
on such short notice.
Copy !req
285. No weapons on the grounds.
Copy !req
286. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
287. I like your idea of fashion.
Copy !req
288. Laurens asked everyone to bring
something utterly unique.
Copy !req
289. Didn't he tell you?
Copy !req
290. A theme party
Copy !req
291. I assume he has ulterior motives.
Copy !req
292. There was a spybot in our room last night.
Copy !req
293. Someone was watching.
Copy !req
294. Were they?
Copy !req
295. I trust my charming wife
is keeping you entertained?
Copy !req
296. Extremely.
Copy !req
297. My apologies then, but you and I
have got some business we need to discuss.
Copy !req
298. Meet me upstairs.
Copy !req
299. - See you in a moment.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
300. Miriam.
Copy !req
301. Be careful.
Copy !req
302. All right.
Copy !req
303. Everyone on the invite list
is accounted for,
Copy !req
304. so let's start checking them off.
Copy !req
305. Oh, only 276 aircars to track.
Copy !req
306. We only need flight logs
for one specific night.
Copy !req
307. And most of the cars were on the ground
Copy !req
308. in the time Mary Lou Henchy
could have been tossed.
Copy !req
309. They'll be easy to eliminate.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, easy for you to say,
because I'll be doing it.
Copy !req
311. - Quit bitching.
- I'm not bitching.
Copy !req
312. You gotta be kidding me.
Copy !req
313. - Son of a bitch Kovacs is here.
- Okay, try to relax. Have a cocktail.
Copy !req
314. - They've got the good stuff up there.
- You don't even drink.
Copy !req
315. I'm a Muslim, not a monk.
Copy !req
316. I don't begrudge you infidels
a little mood modification,
Copy !req
317. especially if it makes you lay off
your crazy conspiracy theories.
Copy !req
318. Thanks. I appreciate that.
Copy !req
319. Anytime. That's what I'm here for.
Copy !req
320. Kristin Ortega, BCPD. Organic Damage.
Copy !req
321. Normally a street cop does that.
Copy !req
322. Yeah. Don't fucking remind me.
Fighting licenses?
Copy !req
323. Sir, you have to lose the ring.
Copy !req
324. My sleeve got killed in the last bout.
This one's got bigger hands.
Copy !req
325. - But it's a wedding ring so...
- I made him jam it on.
Copy !req
326. You
Copy !req
327. Gotta provide for the kids somehow, right?
Copy !req
328. Hey, Lieutenant.
Like the uniform.
Copy !req
329. They fight to the sleeve death.
Copy !req
330. The winner gets an upgraded combat sleeve.
The loser gets a downgraded one.
Copy !req
331. And they're married.
Copy !req
332. What? So you go home to your kids
as strangers?
Copy !req
333. Oh, they're used to it.
Copy !req
334. Five and seven.
Copy !req
335. They're not used to it.
Copy !req
336. I need a drink.
Copy !req
337. Why are you here?
Copy !req
338. - I told you, there's nothing here for you.
- Someone bugged my room last night.
Copy !req
339. That feels like something.
Copy !req
340. You think any one of these people
would bother spying on you?
Copy !req
341. They were either watching me
or Miriam Bancroft.
Copy !req
342. Miriam was in your room last night
Copy !req
343. Looking for leverage.
Copy !req
344. She get any
Copy !req
345. I think you'd be more interested
in who was spying on me.
Copy !req
346. You slept with a suspect?
Copy !req
347. There's no suspect
if there's no case, right?
Copy !req
348. That's not a denial.
Copy !req
349. Stay out of my way.
Copy !req
350. No problem.
Copy !req
351. Something you wanna tell me?
Copy !req
352. Yes, I've been giving some thought
to which of our guests
Copy !req
353. might warrant your attention
Copy !req
354. and which certainly are not suspects.
Copy !req
355. I thought you were gonna tell me
Copy !req
356. about your habit of going to biocabins
and beating women nearly to death?
Copy !req
357. Didn't consider it
to be particularly important.
Copy !req
358. Yes, I have spent some time
in purchased sexual release,
Copy !req
359. both virtual and real.
Copy !req
360. But then, I've also spent time
offworld gambling
Copy !req
361. or indulging my passion
for null-gravity knife fighting.
Copy !req
362. You certainly find some enemies there.
Copy !req
363. But I have never taken a single life.
Copy !req
364. Unlike you, I have a line
that I am very careful not to cross.
Copy !req
365. You better watch yourself.
Are you okay?
Copy !req
366. My son cannot hold his liquor.
Copy !req
367. Maybe he pulled the trigger.
Copy !req
368. Isaac? I only wish he had the balls. Often wonder where I went wrong
with that one.
Copy !req
369. - Gave him every advantage.
- Except one.
Copy !req
370. There's a natural order
to birth and death.
Copy !req
371. Boy changing to a man. You interrupted it.
Copy !req
372. Natural order? You sound
like one of those insane Neo-Catholics.
Copy !req
373. You've lost comrades, Mr. Kovacs.
Copy !req
374. People you cared for... or loved, even.
Copy !req
375. If you'd lived in this time,
you could have them all back.
Copy !req
376. So whatever the price is,
surely you'd be happy to pay it.
Copy !req
377. Death isn't up to us to give or withhold.
Copy !req
378. Oh.
Copy !req
379. You think we should leave it up to God,
do you
Copy !req
380. Oh, Mr. Kovacs, haven't you heard?
God is dead.
Copy !req
381. We have taken his place.
Copy !req
382. If you're a god, then, uh,
what the hell do you need me for?
Copy !req
383. Every deity has minions.
Copy !req
384. Observe. Absorb.
Copy !req
385. Find what others have missed.
Copy !req
386. He throws a party
with his brains on the wall as decor.
Copy !req
387. Best news of the year?
When I heard he got torched.
Copy !req
388. I once hated Laurens.
Copy !req
389. But 100 years pass
and you realize there's just no upside.
Copy !req
390. We are all going to go through the rest
of humanity's future stuck together.
Copy !req
391. Excuse me.
Copy !req
392. I can't believe we've never met.
Copy !req
393. Been offworld. Just came back
to settle an old debt with Laurens,
Copy !req
394. but someone else beat me to it.
Copy !req
395. You don't approve?
Copy !req
396. It's terrifying that a killer
could get to one of us.
Copy !req
397. Sickening.
Copy !req
398. You don't think he killed himself?
Copy !req
399. Whoever murdered him
must be found and punished
Copy !req
400. or we're all in danger.
Copy !req
401. Abboud, I want you to scan someone for me.
Copy !req
402. Guy I'm looking at
wasn't on the invite list.
Copy !req
403. I don't see anybody.
Copy !req
404. Where the hell have you been?
You're supposed to be watching my back.
Copy !req
405. These people drink like fish.
I keep having to get refills.
Copy !req
406. No.
Copy !req
407. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
408. Give us a moment, please?
Copy !req
409. Only way you stay
is if you're unconscious.
Copy !req
410. It's your call.
Copy !req
411. You can't say anything about this.
Copy !req
412. - You know who I am.
- I know who you're not.
Copy !req
413. I have no idea what you mean.
Copy !req
414. Uh...
Copy !req
415. Fine. I'm Naomi.
Copy !req
416. The 12th daughter.
Copy !req
417. And you are?
Copy !req
418. Wondering why you're fucking
in your mother's sleeve.
Copy !req
419. Her clones are state of the art.
Copy !req
420. Why wouldn't I want
to take 'em for a spin?
Copy !req
421. I have fun, okay?
Copy !req
422. And friends like Curtis
have even more fun.
Copy !req
423. The gun that killed your father
Copy !req
424. was locked in a bio-coded safe that
only he or your mother could open.
Copy !req
425. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
426. Or a kid wearing her mother's sleeve.
Copy !req
427. First of all, I'm not a kid.
I'm 67 years old.
Copy !req
428. And secondly, if my father dies,
like, real death dies,
Copy !req
429. the family gets nothing.
It's written into his will.
Copy !req
430. So, if I killed him, I'd be penniless.
And I do not do penniless.
Copy !req
431. That's how he protects himself.
Copy !req
432. For children who were
never allowed to grow up...
Copy !req
433. greed isn't the only motive for killing.
Copy !req
434. Excuse me,
is this young man bothering you?
Copy !req
435. I was still talking!
Copy !req
436. He told a joke about a samurai
having carnal relations
Copy !req
437. with an alley cat.
Copy !req
438. It was a metaphor for my experience
with Japanese assholes like you.
Copy !req
439. Your deal with Mr. Bancroft
hardly requires you to endure abuse.
Copy !req
440. Apologies.
Copy !req
441. That accord was months in the making.
Copy !req
442. It will not be broken by this child.
Copy !req
443. Excuse me.
Copy !req
444. Get off me!
Copy !req
445. How drunk do you have to get
to go Oedipal on the old man?
Copy !req
446. I'm not stupid. He's backed up.
We're all backed up.
Copy !req
447. Mr. Kovacs,
what do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
448. Isaac, are you okay?
Copy !req
449. You're crazy. You know that?
Copy !req
450. I expected something more impressive than
slamming a spoiled child against a wall.
Copy !req
451. - Maybe I was wrong about you, Mr. Kovacs.
- Since we just met, chances are good.
Copy !req
452. Clarissa Severin.
I deal in art and antiquities.
Copy !req
453. And you're the Envoy.
Copy !req
454. Oh, don't worry. Oumou didn't say a word.
Copy !req
455. Laurens has been obsessed
with Quellcrist Falconer for...
Copy !req
456. Well, forever.
Copy !req
457. I really must thank you.
Copy !req
458. The finder's fee for something as unusual
as you was really quite considerable.
Copy !req
459. Find you at the bar, Oumou.
Copy !req
460. What finder's fee?
Copy !req
461. Do you understand what's at stake
if you humiliate yourself by—
Copy !req
462. Doing my job? Why do you suddenly care
about my table manners?
Copy !req
463. This isn't about me. It's about you.
Copy !req
464. My behavior isn't the issue—
Copy !req
465. How many non-Meths
are guests at this party?
Copy !req
466. Two. You and me.
Copy !req
467. Do you know how many years it took me
to get invited into this house as a guest
Copy !req
468. and not the help?
Copy !req
469. - You want to become one of them.
- I will become one.
Copy !req
470. Oh...
Copy !req
471. Clarissa suggested bringing you back and
took quite a commission on finding you.
Copy !req
472. You're just the intersection
between Bancroft's nostalgia
Copy !req
473. and Clarissa's business sense.
Copy !req
474. You're an indulgence,
like an overbred pet.
Copy !req
475. I wasn't any further
than I had been when I walked in the door.
Copy !req
476. But one thing I knew for sure.
Copy !req
477. Not one of these people gave a damn
about any life but their own.
Copy !req
478. For my unique object,
I brought this hand...
Copy !req
479. which belonged to Konrad Harlan,
Founding Father of Harlan's World.
Copy !req
480. And he has an important message
for everybody here.
Copy !req
481. It's brilliant.
Just call more attention to yourself.
Copy !req
482. Oh, come on, that was funny.
Copy !req
483. I chose to wear my unique object.
Copy !req
484. They tell us it's illegal
to download the human mind
Copy !req
485. into anything but a human body.
Copy !req
486. But I say fuck that.
Copy !req
487. Laws don't apply to people like us.
Copy !req
488. So meet Janus, a rapist and a murderer
Copy !req
489. who was scheduled for erasure
when I plucked him from the shredder
Copy !req
490. and I offered him a place by my side.
Copy !req
491. Hey.
Copy !req
492. No unauthorized personnel.
Copy !req
493. Oh. Huh.
Copy !req
494. It's too bad
he didn't read the fine print.
Copy !req
495. Not supposed to drink on duty.
Copy !req
496. Like these skyshits know
what being on duty is.
Copy !req
497. - Ooh-rah.
- Ooh-fuckin'-rah. Pass the hooch.
Copy !req
498. I was curious what would happen to a man
if you downloaded him into a reptile.
Copy !req
499. The neomammalian complex, stuffed
into the most base of basal ganglia.
Copy !req
500. For science.
Copy !req
501. Turns out you go quite mad.
Copy !req
502. I tried resleeving him once,
and he just lay on the ground and writhed.
Copy !req
503. So now he's a snake forever.
Copy !req
504. Reaper.
Copy !req
505. You'll only be out for a few minutes.
I need the room.
Copy !req
506. You shouldn't tell anybody about this,
because they'll fire you.
Copy !req
507. Oh, and take some analgesics
and be sure to hydrate when you wake up.
Copy !req
508. Tonight...
Copy !req
509. I offer you something more rare
than any of you can possibly imagine.
Copy !req
510. Something no one owns
in the entire Protectorate...
Copy !req
511. but me.
Copy !req
512. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
513. I give you the last Envoy.
Copy !req
514. Takeshi Kovacs.
Copy !req
515. Now, please...
Copy !req
516. enjoy the entertainment
we have for you tonight.
Copy !req
517. Please proceed to the arena.
Copy !req
518. Combat sleeves
to null-gravity-ready positions.
Copy !req
519. Yes.
Copy !req
520. I thought you didn't want to own me.
Copy !req
521. In this world,
Copy !req
522. the only real choice is between being
the purchaser and the purchased.
Copy !req
523. Shh!
Copy !req
524. Tonight,
Copy !req
525. combat to sleeve death...
Copy !req
526. between a married couple
who love each other.
Copy !req
527. Married fighters?
Copy !req
528. - Prepare to launch.
- Seems in poor taste.
Copy !req
529. No one is forcing them.
Copy !req
530. They could choose not to fight
if they wanted to.
Copy !req
531. three, two, one.
Copy !req
532. It is a marriage... after all.
Copy !req
533. Combat sleeves ready.
Copy !req
534. If you're trying to impress me,
you're failing.
Copy !req
535. You're far more entertaining
than you know, Mr. Kovacs.
Copy !req
536. Combat sleeves
must reenter null g-force field.
Copy !req
537. Take him out, I'll upgrade you both.
Copy !req
538. Destroy the Envoy!
Copy !req
539. Make him pay!
Copy !req
540. Shut it off.
Copy !req
541. Sorry, ma'am.
Fight sequence is locked.
Copy !req
542. Move. Move.
Copy !req
543. Elliot, where the fuck are you?
Copy !req
544. I'm busy right now.
I'll call you back, okay?
Copy !req
545. You're not licensed for this.
Copy !req
546. There's no paperwork on the Envoy.
Copy !req
547. Oh, dear.
One of those unfortunate accidents.
Copy !req
548. Legally, of course, he is my property.
Copy !req
549. Let's raise the stakes, shall we?
Copy !req
550. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
551. BCPD, give me that weapon!
Copy !req
552. Ah!
Copy !req
553. Gun just went off.
Copy !req
554. One of those unfortunate accidents.
Copy !req
555. Show's over, folks.
Copy !req
556. His sleeve...
Copy !req
557. it's wrecked!
Copy !req
558. You fought an Envoy and lived.
Call it good.
Copy !req
559. But nobody died. We get nothing!
Copy !req
560. I can't even afford to fix him.
Copy !req
561. Ah!
Copy !req
562. They can have my winnings.
Upgraded sleeves for both of 'em.
Copy !req
563. Or you gonna go back on your word?
Copy !req
564. By all means. It's only fair.
Copy !req
565. Let's start by being very clear
with one another, shall we?
Copy !req
566. Stay away from my wife.
Copy !req
567. So you're spying on her.
Copy !req
568. I— I don't need to spy on her.
Copy !req
569. No, when you've been married
to the same woman for over 100 years,
Copy !req
570. you know what she does
and you know what she can't help doing.
Copy !req
571. Why do you care
what your wife does in her spare time,
Copy !req
572. considering what you're doing in yours?
Copy !req
573. Your limited life experience
cannot possibly encompass what it is
Copy !req
574. to love another person for over 100 years.
Copy !req
575. You achieve something close to veneration.
Copy !req
576. How does one match such respect
with the basest desires of the flesh?
Copy !req
577. So you love your wife too much
to fuck her?
Copy !req
578. I certainly love my wife too much
to let you fuck her.
Copy !req
579. Now, do you have anything to report
on your investigations tonight?
Copy !req
580. No. Great party, though.
Copy !req
581. Thanks.
Copy !req
582. Where the hell were you?
Copy !req
583. I had shit of my own to take care of.
Copy !req
584. Nothing that could possibly be worth
letting me get cut to ribbons.
Copy !req
585. Surveillance data.
Night Lizzie disappeared.
Copy !req
586. Let you know when I scrub through it.
Copy !req
587. Yeah, I got nauseated.
Copy !req
588. This place, the way they live,
what they do for fun...
Copy !req
589. Nothing matters to them.
The longer they live, the worse it gets.
Copy !req
590. They get bored, so...
Copy !req
591. This is yours.
Copy !req
592. By the way, who are you?
Copy !req
593. Supposed to be my backup. And that's mine.
Copy !req
594. I didn't expect you to be
part of the floor show.
Copy !req
595. - Vernon Elliot.
- Kristin Ortega.
Copy !req
596. For just a few hours,
stay out of trouble, okay? Saving your ass is not my only job.
Copy !req
597. Whatever you say, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
598. I like her.
Copy !req
599. Wait ten minutes.
Copy !req
600. So, where you going?
Copy !req
601. I got something to chase down.
Copy !req
602. Uh, you need, uh... need some backup?
Copy !req
603. Let me catch up with you later.
Copy !req
604. Alice...
Copy !req
605. it's me... Ava.
Copy !req
606. What happened?
Copy !req
607. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
608. They made me do it.
Copy !req
609. Made you what?
Copy !req
610. I told you she'd do it.
Copy !req
611. Put him in number five.
How long you think he's gonna take?
Copy !req
612. Long as we need.
Copy !req
613. He's waking up. Dose him.
Copy !req
614. We stick together, Rei.
Copy !req
615. Never face the monsters alone.
Copy !req
