1. Director Evans.
Copy !req
2. What? Where did you come from?
Copy !req
3. I'm sorry, sir. I did knock a few times…
Copy !req
4. Fine, fine… What do you want?
Copy !req
5. Um… May I go home for the day?
Copy !req
6. I'm sorry, sir.
I had plans for this evening…
Copy !req
7. I hadn't realized that managing
your schedule was also my job.
Copy !req
8. N-No, sir. It's just…
Copy !req
9. I wanted to celebrate
my son getting into the Academy…
Copy !req
10. Oh! Well, that's wonderful. We all
look forward to another legacy hire.
Copy !req
11. Just find someone to fetch the UG2 sample.
Copy !req
12. Everyone has already
gone home at this hour…
Copy !req
13. I'll bring over the sample myself… so…
Copy !req
14. How very kind of you.
Fetch it and get out of my sight.
Copy !req
15. Director Evans?
Copy !req
16. Wait…
Copy !req
17. What happened in there?
Copy !req
18. Lost you for a sec.
Someone raise a jammer?
Copy !req
19. Transmission was stable.
Copy !req
20. Weird.
Copy !req
21. Yeesh, what a boring gig.
Copy !req
22. They trespassed on Arasaka premises,
hit us in our own fucking facility.
Copy !req
23. The lab's research focused
on Militech countermeasures.
Copy !req
24. Is this related to the runner
who flatlined Jamie and Marcus?
Copy !req
25. Evans was murdered by a bullet…
Copy !req
26. This was sloppy, violent.
Safe to say, not the same runner.
Copy !req
27. Apprehending the netrunner's our priority.
They're too dangerous.
Copy !req
28. But we know neither
their motive nor purpose…
Copy !req
29. Whoever they are, they're cautious.
Copy !req
30. Not your average runner looking to score.
Copy !req
31. We're Arasaka Counterintel.
We never deal with average.
Copy !req
32. We'll need to take a detour
to catch the runner's trail.
Copy !req
33. Are we going after Evans' killer?
Copy !req
34. It's two separate roads.
We may get lucky and find that they merge.
Copy !req
35. Let's switch it up.
We'll go after the fixer.
Copy !req
36. Who do we know that has ties to Militech?
Copy !req
37. But if the fixer we get
has ties to the runner,
Copy !req
38. they could turn around and leak info
about the product to Militech.
Copy !req
39. They'd be a poor fixer
if they weren't a self-serving bastard.
Copy !req
40. But at the end of the day,
they're only glorified corporate lapdogs.
Copy !req
41. We'll just remind them
whose hand they eat off of in this city.
Copy !req
42. How would you go about this?
Copy !req
43. We tell them
in the only language this city speaks.
Copy !req
44. Hey…
Copy !req
45. Take the fixer! Kill the others!
Copy !req
46. Grenade!
Copy !req
47. Go! Go!
Copy !req
48. I was very nearly killed.
Copy !req
49. What makes you think it was Arasaka?
Copy !req
50. Do you take me for a fool?
Who else could it have been?
Copy !req
51. We're not paying
for any additional liabilities.
Copy !req
52. And corporate immunity
is still off the table.
Copy !req
53. Are you serious?
Copy !req
54. We're already in the red
with your slip-up on the Tanaka case.
Copy !req
55. With nothing to show for it.
We expect returns on our investments.
Copy !req
56. Want more resources? Show us results.
Copy !req
57. And what the hell do you think
I've been chasing?
Copy !req
58. You're running out of time.
Our patience is running thin.
Copy !req
59. Arasaka's security
is on higher alert than usual.
Copy !req
60. Goes to show just how important
the cyberskeleton is to them.
Copy !req
61. You expect too much.
Copy !req
62. Don't lecture me on the stakes
with all the money we've invested in this.
Copy !req
63. Not another enny until you earn it.
We're done here.
Copy !req
64. Damn corporate brat…
Copy !req
65. The fixer's made contact.
Copy !req
66. As I predicted.
Copy !req
67. What a good little dog.
Copy !req
68. David?
Copy !req
69. Oh, my bad.
Copy !req
70. Did I wake you up?
Copy !req
71. Can't sleep?
Copy !req
72. Couldn't shut my brain off.
Copy !req
73. Oh.
Copy !req
74. I'll turn it off.
Copy !req
75. Aren't you watching?
Copy !req
76. No, I just had it on…
Copy !req
77. Oh.
Copy !req
78. 250K to the Moon…
Huh, cheaper than I thought.
Copy !req
79. For a one-way ticket.
Copy !req
80. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
81. You remembered…
Copy !req
82. Huh?
Copy !req
83. Nothing. I'm going back to bed.
Copy !req
84. Okay. 'Night.
Copy !req
85. The world's greatest corporation
conducting illicit business at a diner.
Copy !req
86. I thought you'd find
the familiarity reassuring.
Copy !req
87. I won't pick hairs.
I'm here for your answer.
Copy !req
88. The cyberskeleton project is
a delicate topic even within Arasaka.
Copy !req
89. It turned problematic when Tanaka
over-consolidated the operational data.
Copy !req
90. How much does Militech already know?
Copy !req
91. Information is the blood of my trade.
Copy !req
92. I'll need some assurances
before I say any more.
Copy !req
93. We respect that
you're the best man for the job.
Copy !req
94. We'll gladly provide the compensation
Militech foolishly denied you.
Copy !req
95. As for the Tanaka mess,
consider your debt settled.
Copy !req
96. Wonderful.
Copy !req
97. However, we have some conditions as well.
Copy !req
98. Let's hear it.
Copy !req
99. We need to eliminate anyone
who knows about the cyberskeleton.
Copy !req
100. Done.
Copy !req
101. And one more thing.
Copy !req
102. Yes?
Copy !req
103. After Tanaka died,
Copy !req
104. there's been a runner interfering
with our recovery on the corrupt data.
Copy !req
105. Know anything about it?
Copy !req
106. Not that I can recall.
Copy !req
107. I see.
Copy !req
108. We're quite curious about this case.
Copy !req
109. Even if this were Militech,
I can't even imagine why they'd do this.
Copy !req
110. From what my sources tell me,
Copy !req
111. no one else knows about Tanaka's ties
to the cyberskeleton project.
Copy !req
112. An inside job?
Copy !req
113. No. It's impossible to move internally
without leaving a trail.
Copy !req
114. It's more natural to think that
it's a skilled runner from the outside.
Copy !req
115. Seems to me like a job for a fixer.
Copy !req
116. Is this an official commission?
Copy !req
117. One million to take them alive.
Half the price for their head.
Copy !req
118. I accept.
Copy !req
119. Take that!
Copy !req
120. Out of juice!
Copy !req
121. Gotcha.
Copy !req
122. What are you doing?
Copy !req
123. Ah… My bad.
Copy !req
124. Later, David.
Copy !req
125. Yeah…
Copy !req
126. Falco! Lemme off too!
Copy !req
127. What?
Copy !req
128. Well dang,
guess the after-party's just us two.
Copy !req
129. I've got somewhere to be, too.
Copy !req
130. That so? Bunch of killjoys,
you, one and all.
Copy !req
131. David!
Copy !req
132. No after-party today?
Copy !req
133. Can't get drunk with those two boomers.
Copy !req
134. Can't promise I'll be any more fun.
Copy !req
135. Don't underestimate yourself!
Copy !req
136. Hey… Wanna take a walk?
Copy !req
137. Huh? Sure, I guess…
Copy !req
138. Yes!
Copy !req
139. So… you doing okay?
Copy !req
140. What?
Copy !req
141. What was that today?
Copy !req
142. What was what?
Copy !req
143. You know what I mean.
Copy !req
144. It was nothing.
Copy !req
145. This isn't the first time it's happened.
Copy !req
146. You thought I didn't notice?
Copy !req
147. Whatever.
Copy !req
148. A girl's intuition, you know?
Copy !req
149. What girl?
Copy !req
150. Shut up.
Copy !req
151. You're the only one I watch
that closely, you know.
Copy !req
152. Come on, David. What's wrong?
Copy !req
153. Nothing.
Copy !req
154. I said cut the bull.
Copy !req
155. It's got nothing to do with you.
Copy !req
156. Like hell it doesn't.
I'm putting my life in your hands.
Copy !req
157. Sorry.
Copy !req
158. I was thinking…
Copy !req
159. Yeah?
Copy !req
160. You should lay off
the implants for a while.
Copy !req
161. Don't worry. I've got your back!
Copy !req
162. You?
Copy !req
163. I'm being serious.
Copy !req
164. Remember the psycho
that flatlined my brother?
Copy !req
165. Yeah.
Copy !req
166. I don't… wanna see you end up like that.
Copy !req
167. Yeah.
Copy !req
168. They're still sending runners?
Copy !req
169. Hm?
Copy !req
170. Who are you? W-What the…
Copy !req
171. Wait…
Copy !req
172. David!
Copy !req
173. Rise and shine.
Copy !req
174. Doc…
Copy !req
175. Symptoms settling down?
Copy !req
176. Yeah…
Copy !req
177. When did it start?
Copy !req
178. What?
Copy !req
179. Shaky hands, dizziness,
nausea, usual suspects.
Copy !req
180. A little while ago.
Copy !req
181. Why didn't you tell me?
Copy !req
182. Thought it was temporary.
Copy !req
183. Looks like side-effects
are finally catching up with you.
Copy !req
184. Of course, it's crazy enough
how you've been fine until now.
Copy !req
185. Why now?
Copy !req
186. Lay off the chrome for a while.
Copy !req
187. You're already one foot
in the psycho zone.
Copy !req
188. Then gimme stronger meds for it!
Copy !req
189. Shit. You ain't hearing me.
Or have you already lost your mind?
Copy !req
190. Ain't no such miracle drug in exist…
Copy !req
191. Think I came for jokes?
Take my fucking money…
Copy !req
192. and gimme the fucking meds!
Copy !req
193. David!
Copy !req
194. There. Your last prescription. Nine times
standard dosage, good for nine days.
Copy !req
195. It'll send you straight over the edge
and right to hell.
Copy !req
196. I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again.
Copy !req
197. It's fine.
Copy !req
198. The fact that you need those meds means
you won't be coming back here anymore.
Copy !req
199. A kid off the block pushing XBDs and now…
Copy !req
200. Go be a legend or
whatever the fuck you punks do.
Copy !req
201. Just another tale for the next dreamer…
Copy !req
202. David! Wait! What was that?
Copy !req
203. Don't tell the guys.
Copy !req
204. I don't understand.
Copy !req
205. Hey!
Copy !req
206. Your body, your mind…
They have limits, David. You knew that.
Copy !req
207. Normal meds don't do it for you anymore.
Copy !req
208. Isn't it time to call quits?
Copy !req
209. I can't watch you do this to yourself.
Scale back your cyberware…
Copy !req
210. I can't do that.
Copy !req
211. Why not?
Copy !req
212. Mom and Maine…
They all left me something to do.
Copy !req
213. But I haven't done nothing yet.
Copy !req
214. But you can't keep going on like this…
Copy !req
215. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
216. How could you say that?
Do you really think you're special?
Copy !req
217. I withstood the Sandevistan.
I'm not normal.
Copy !req
218. So you're a little more sturdy than
everyone else. But you're still human.
Copy !req
219. I shot a woman.
Copy !req
220. Huh?
Copy !req
221. She was around the same age as my mom.
Copy !req
222. She also had a son like me.
Copy !req
223. A harmless bystander. A normal person.
Copy !req
224. I don't know how many I've killed anymore.
Copy !req
225. It doesn't even make me pause anymore.
Copy !req
226. Maybe I really am going crazy.
Copy !req
227. David…
Copy !req
228. I ain't normal.
Like you said before, I'm different.
Copy !req
229. You're not.
Copy !req
230. I am!
Copy !req
231. You're not.
Copy !req
232. You wouldn't understand.
Copy !req
233. You left the crew after Maine died.
Copy !req
234. That's because…
Copy !req
235. I'm not blaming you.
Copy !req
236. Why not?
Copy !req
237. You shouldn't have to live this life.
Copy !req
238. No, David. That's not what I…
Copy !req
239. Then you'll come back?
Copy !req
240. Let's go back to the way things were,
working together.
Copy !req
241. I can't right now.
Wait for me a little while longer.
Copy !req
242. What for?
Copy !req
243. There's something I need to do first.
Copy !req
244. Like what?
Copy !req
245. I can't say.
Copy !req
246. Why?
Copy !req
247. Sorry.
Copy !req
248. Because you don't trust me.
Copy !req
249. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
250. Okay. I'll stop asking you about it.
Copy !req
251. Okay.
Copy !req
252. Maybe we should go our separate ways.
Copy !req
253. No! That's not true David.
Copy !req
254. I'm sorry, David. I have to go.
Copy !req
255. Huh? Where?
Copy !req
256. I have to go…
Copy !req
257. Okay.
Copy !req
258. We'll talk when I get home.
Copy !req
259. Wait for me.
Copy !req
260. The same ID as the runner from before.
Copy !req
261. There you are…
Copy !req
262. Didn't think it would be so easy.
Copy !req
263. This is our passport into Arasaka.
Copy !req
264. Excellent job, Kiwi.
Copy !req
265. Yeah.
Copy !req
266. - When they start?
- What?
Copy !req
267. Shaky hands, dizziness, nausea.
Usual suspects.
Copy !req
268. A little while ago.
Copy !req
269. Shoulda handled it the sec they appeared.
Copy !req
270. Didn't seem like a big deal.
Copy !req
271. All this chrome's
catching up with you, Davey.
Copy !req
272. I mean, shit still blows my mind
you kept it together this long.
Copy !req
273. Whatev. Why now?
Copy !req
274. You want my professional opinion? You
best lift your pedal of the metal, choom.
Copy !req
275. You're about to drive head-first
off the cliff with no way back up.
Copy !req
276. Yeah. Just give me
fucking stronger meds, then.
Copy !req
277. Well, shit.
Copy !req
278. Either you ain't hearing me, choom,
or you're already off the deep end.
Copy !req
279. Asking for miracle drugs and pixie dust—
Copy !req
280. Listen. Didn't come here
for your golf jokes.
Copy !req
281. Just take my fucking money.
Copy !req
282. And give me my fucking meds.
Copy !req
283. David!
Copy !req
284. There.
Copy !req
285. Your last kweep.
Nine times standard dosage,
Copy !req
286. good for nine days.
Copy !req
287. It'll send you rollin' over the edge
and straight into hell.
Copy !req
288. I'm sorry, Doc. You didn't deserve that.
Copy !req
289. Don't waste your breath, Davey.
Copy !req
290. Not like you're ever
coming back here anyway.
Copy !req
291. Just yesterday a punk kid
pushing XBDs for a quick buck.
Copy !req
292. Go on. Become that legend.
Copy !req
293. Or whatever the fuck you merks do.
Copy !req
294. Another turn for the next dreamer.
Copy !req
295. David! Wait!
Copy !req
296. What was that?
Copy !req
297. Don't tell the crew.
Copy !req
298. I don't get it.
Copy !req
299. Hey!
Copy !req
300. Your body, your mind.
They have limits, David.
Copy !req
301. You knew that.
If normal meds can't cut it,
Copy !req
302. it's time to slow down.
Copy !req
303. Can't watch you do this to yourself.
Copy !req
304. Scale back your cyberware.
Copy !req
305. I can't do that.
Copy !req
306. Why not?
Copy !req
307. Because of Maine and my mom. Both
had plans for me, left me things to do.
Copy !req
308. Stuff I ain't done yet.
Copy !req
309. But you really… David,
you can't go on like this.
Copy !req
310. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
311. Honestly believe that?
Really think you're special?
Copy !req
312. Handled the Sandy, didn't I?
Copy !req
313. Definitely ain't normal.
Copy !req
314. So, you have a higher tolerance
than everyone else, that's all.
Copy !req
315. Doesn't mean you're not human, you know.
Copy !req
316. - I killed someone.
- Huh?
Copy !req
317. Reminded me of my mom.
Copy !req
318. Woman had a son too. About my age.
Copy !req
319. She was a bystander.
Copy !req
320. A normal person.
Copy !req
321. Who knows how many thugs I killed.
Copy !req
322. How many goons.
Copy !req
323. I lost count. Grew numb to it.
Copy !req
324. Maybe you're right.
Maybe I really am losing it.
Copy !req
325. David, look.
Copy !req
326. I ain't normal.
Said so yourself before. I'm different.
Copy !req
327. - You're not.
- I am!
Copy !req
328. You're not.
Copy !req
329. - You just don't get it.
- Huh?
Copy !req
330. You know, when Maine died,
didn't expect you to leave us too.
Copy !req
331. I had to.
Copy !req
332. I'm not mad.
Copy !req
333. Why not?
Copy !req
334. You deserve a way
out of this life.
Copy !req
335. David, no. I… I'm not trying to—
Copy !req
336. That mean you'll come back?
Copy !req
337. You and me again. Turn back the clock.
Copy !req
338. Can't quite do that yet.
Copy !req
339. - Need just a little more time.
- What for?
Copy !req
340. There's something I have to do.
Copy !req
341. Can't tell me?
Copy !req
342. Wish I could.
Copy !req
343. - Just say it.
- Can't.
Copy !req
344. 'Cause you don't trust me?
Copy !req
345. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
346. Whatever. Forget it.
Copy !req
347. Maybe we should…
Copy !req
348. you know, go our separate ways.
Copy !req
349. No, wait. That's not what I want.
Copy !req
350. I'm sorry, David. But I just… I gotta go.
Copy !req
351. Huh? Go where?
Copy !req
352. I really need to.
Copy !req
353. Sure.
Copy !req
354. We'll talk when I get home.
Copy !req
355. But please. Wait for me.
Copy !req
356. Net index. Same runner as before.
Copy !req
357. There you are.
Copy !req
358. So simple. And here,
I expected fireworks.
Copy !req
359. Looks like we just landed
our ticket into Arasaka.
Copy !req
360. Magnificent job, Kiwi.
Copy !req
