1
00:00:21,312 --> 00:00:23,815
Got ants in your pants, Julio?
2
00:00:23,898 --> 00:00:24,899
No way!
3
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:28,278
Wakako's bitch, right?
Newby-boobs she stuck us with.
4
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:29,612
Heard you're David's fan.
5
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:32,615
But what
do you mean "stuck with us"?
6
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,909
Wow! You're that!
7
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:36,911
You're actually a fans now.
8
00:00:36,995 --> 00:00:39,873
Probably because you got all swole.
9
00:00:39,956 --> 00:00:40,915
Got iron?
10
00:00:40,999 --> 00:00:42,959
-Huh?
-Carrying, right?
11
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,919
Yeah, I've got a Lexington.
12
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:46,504
Don't cut it.
13
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:49,549
Peashooter like that
won't even dent Maelstrom metal.
14
00:00:49,632 --> 00:00:51,051
Try this one out.
15
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:54,471
Seriously, choom? A Satara!
16
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:56,181
Fuck me. Nova!
17
00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:58,349
Tech shotties, man.
18
00:00:58,433 --> 00:00:59,726
Preem as hell.
19
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:01,519
Charged-up shots.
20
00:01:01,603 --> 00:01:05,231
Oh yeah. Boom!
21
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:06,524
Boom!
22
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:08,193
Boom!
23
00:01:09,778 --> 00:01:11,071
-Knock it off!
-Wait! Watch my knees!
24
00:01:11,154 --> 00:01:11,946
Wait. Knees.
25
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:14,866
So annoying! Why!
26
00:01:14,949 --> 00:01:16,409
Just remember to stay behind me.
27
00:01:16,493 --> 00:01:17,952
And be smart. Don't rush.
28
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:21,956
You mean you want me to take rear?
Hey, I ain't no newb, man
29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,708
Attention, ladies.
30
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:25,960
We're 'bout a minute out now.
31
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:01,514
Got a small army on our hands.
32
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:04,142
Heaps of iron and turrets. Multiples
33
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:06,769
Can't ping them all for quickhacks.
Not enough time.
34
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,688
Front door's a dead zone. That's crystal.
35
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:11,024
So, plan B. Find the back door.
Definitely.
36
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:13,443
Easy-peasy. Plan C's my pick.
37
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:14,527
Agreed.
38
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:16,779
No backdoor swoop-in? Why?
39
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,698
Knock yourself out. Get to it
40
00:03:18,781 --> 00:03:21,034
Hey, wait. Don't leave me.
41
00:03:21,117 --> 00:03:22,952
Front door's all, looks like to me.
42
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:25,038
You think.move.
43
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:32,295
Hey. Who ordered lunch, mate?
You little babies lost?
44
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:34,797
Think they're here to scout something?
45
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:37,300
You dirtbags wanna get punked?
46
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:39,552
Better start talking now, scumbag,
47
00:03:39,636 --> 00:03:42,013
before I drill you a fresh eyehole.
48
00:03:42,096 --> 00:03:43,806
You better stop before I do the same.
49
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:46,809
Yeehaw!
50
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,564
Tagging complete. Short circ incoming.
51
00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:52,482
Done.
52
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,817
Not a millisec to spare, Mr. Plan C.
53
00:03:55,526 --> 00:03:57,195
Oh! They've got a netrunner!
54
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:08,331
I don't wanna die, man.
55
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:10,583
Damn. Missed a few. All yours.
56
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,794
Come on! Come on! Let's go.
57
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:15,129
Toys run dry.
58
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:18,132
-That little bitch ran out of juice!
-Fuck her up!
59
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:21,052
And now, here comes the big guns!
60
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,138
A goddamn turret!
61
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:26,641
Kiwi.
62
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:29,394
Hey! Runner's grabbed a--
63
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:32,397
Please, Kiwi. Give me some, Kiwi.
64
00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:47,954
Tiny birds. Aren't you scared?
65
00:04:48,037 --> 00:04:50,873
Yo! The fuck. Is that human?
66
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:51,916
Huh?
67
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:02,927
Did you never learn to fly?
68
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:17,692
Time for major dick show.
69
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:33,499
No, thanks, choom.
I know how to fly just fine.
70
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:41,049
Nova! Zoot-zoot-zoot, bang!
71
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:42,884
Those your fancy new leg implants?
72
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:44,260
Looking damn good.
73
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,387
No more. All clear. Last one.
74
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:50,683
Room behind you. Target's there.
Her, others too. All friendlies.
75
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:51,642
Roger, roger.
76
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:53,770
Yo! Back room. On it.
77
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,271
-Wait! Julio!
-Bang!
78
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,273
-Watch out for--
-Bang!
79
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,912
Isabella Morgan, you in here?
80
00:06:12,997 --> 00:06:15,166
I'm here 'cause your dad put out an SOS.
81
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:17,085
You're safe now.
82
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,675
Wakako, there?
83
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:27,678
You safely secured the target, I hear.
84
00:06:28,262 --> 00:06:30,139
Our client will be pleased.
85
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:33,309
Yes, that Isabella was saved,
not-not butchered like cattle.
86
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:34,435
Just did my part.
87
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:38,439
Yes. Most impressive.
True. The rumors of you proved true.
88
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:39,899
Oh, sorry about Julio.
89
00:06:39,982 --> 00:06:41,984
No, no. Do not apologize.
90
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:45,071
The boy, fool,
insisted on the work with you.
91
00:06:45,154 --> 00:06:47,198
Not ready, I said. Not ready, indeed.
92
00:06:47,281 --> 00:06:50,451
Any new lead we get,
we-we will be in touch, David.
93
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,954
Yeah. Good doing biz.
94
00:07:03,548 --> 00:07:04,465
Thank you kindly.
95
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:07,385
Appreciate the ride, Falco. Really.
96
00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:09,804
Always happy to keep the engine rolling.
97
00:07:09,887 --> 00:07:13,558
Come on. Dependable
wheelmen are hard to find.
98
00:07:13,641 --> 00:07:17,395
Oh, not sure about that. You've
gathered yourself quite the fan club.
99
00:07:17,478 --> 00:07:18,980
Oh. Julio, you mean?
100
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:22,483
Knew that goose was bluffing
the moment we met.
101
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:28,281
We'd land better talent if we
were all vets. Not everyone's like Maine,
102
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:30,158
willing to take a chance on us.
103
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:32,034
Have to admit,
when I got the call,
104
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,620
I took you for a pusher-punk wannabe.
105
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:36,539
Truth is, you were.
106
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:41,752
But now? Well…
107
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:45,006
Expect you'll fly higher
than Maine ever did.
108
00:07:47,341 --> 00:07:50,344
Right. Gonna roll
before this all turns to goop.
109
00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:52,513
Buzz me for your next big gig, huh?
110
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:55,766
Till then. Later, David. Kiwi.
111
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:58,019
-Yeah.
-Later.
112
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:01,022
Honestly?
113
00:08:01,105 --> 00:08:04,358
I doubted you had it in you,
to take the reins.
114
00:08:04,442 --> 00:08:07,320
Couldn'ta. Not without
the city's preemest runner.
115
00:08:07,403 --> 00:08:10,740
Both know you don't mean me.
Where is she?
116
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:15,286
Been asking her?
117
00:08:15,369 --> 00:08:18,748
Not anymore. Kinda gave up trying.
118
00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:21,459
Never pegged her as the type
to get all shook-up.
119
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:26,172
More than what happened
to Maine and Dorio is at play, I think.
120
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:31,886
At the warehouse,
Lucy was acting, I don't know, strange.
121
00:08:31,969 --> 00:08:33,346
Strange how?
122
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:36,891
Hard to say. Whole thing's kind of a blur.
It might have been nothing.
123
00:08:40,728 --> 00:08:42,230
By the way.
124
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:45,816
Wasn't it you who brought Lucy onboard,
found her a spot in the crew?
125
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:46,734
That's right.
126
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:49,153
She, like, ever talk to you about her past
or anything?
127
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:53,282
Most of the cybes in our league
don't bring up the old days.
128
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:57,328
Shame, greed. Some. Whatever.
129
00:08:57,411 --> 00:09:01,040
Either you're looking for a way out,
130
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:03,209
or a way up, doesn't matter.
131
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,045
-Yo, yo, yo!
-Hmm?
132
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:07,838
David, why the long face?
133
00:09:07,922 --> 00:09:11,926
This nagging old hag keeping you
off the dancefloor?
134
00:09:12,843 --> 00:09:17,056
Although, some edgerunners die
in more shame than they started with.
135
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:19,475
Yo. It ain't right to badmouth the dead.
136
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,312
It's not my bro's fault
he got zeroed by some bare-dick psycho.
137
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:27,275
Oh, whatevs! Have you ever seen
David dance? It's a riot.
138
00:09:27,358 --> 00:09:29,860
Sounds preem,
but I think I'm gonna bounce.
139
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:32,738
-I gotta stop by Doc's.
-Seriously? Again?
140
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:35,908
Been tellin' that bastard
you desperately need a dance chip.
141
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,577
-At least a pop hit grind!
-Will do.
142
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:39,328
See ya.
143
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:44,709
Hey! I ain't good at playing just friends.
144
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:47,211
Considered shaking up your approach?
145
00:09:47,295 --> 00:09:48,588
Yeah? How you figure?
146
00:09:49,171 --> 00:09:50,798
'Stead of hot and loud,
147
00:09:50,881 --> 00:09:53,968
I try cold, distant, and nerdy?
148
00:09:57,179 --> 00:10:00,891
It's an oversized faucet.
Arm socket connector's warped.
149
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:03,603
Jamming that fucker in was a miracle.
150
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,771
My advice, trash it.
151
00:10:05,855 --> 00:10:08,357
Got all kinds of next-gen chrome out back.
152
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:09,358
I know you got the scratch.
153
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:11,360
Nah, this one's good.
154
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:14,864
Tsk. Fine. It's your funeral.
155
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:19,160
Got any fresh muscle reinforcers?
Kiroshi's new model, maybe?
156
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:22,413
Excuse me. Didn't know I had
a corm jack on my table.
157
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:23,623
Oh, come on. I'm not.
158
00:10:24,206 --> 00:10:25,583
You need to chill, choom.
159
00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:28,794
Unless you want a strict diet
of immunoblockers.
160
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:30,963
I'm doing just fine, Doc.
161
00:10:31,047 --> 00:10:32,590
Better than fine, actually.
162
00:10:33,716 --> 00:10:36,385
It's like, I feel better in metal
than in my own skin.
163
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:40,848
Well, your affinity for cyberware
is fucking nuts, I'll grant you that.
164
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:43,976
Ain't never seen a kid
bogged out quite like this.
165
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,854
Lotta other peeps woulda cut by now.
166
00:10:46,937 --> 00:10:49,023
Believe yourself to be special?
167
00:10:49,106 --> 00:10:51,442
Must just be special, I guess.
168
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:54,904
Ha! Makes you
Adam Smasher 2.0, choom.
169
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:56,530
-Adam who?
-Christ.
170
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:58,949
All this time
and you're still a fucking newb.
171
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:01,702
Adam Smasher. Name to know.
172
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:05,498
To some, a hero of the 4th Corporate War,
173
00:11:05,581 --> 00:11:09,752
to others, a fully cyborged
boogeyman, a walking nightmare.
174
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:13,339
But to all, a living legend, a skinny one.
175
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:16,300
What kind of legend?
176
00:11:16,384 --> 00:11:20,554
The kind that fills graveyards
on Arasaka's orders.
177
00:11:20,638 --> 00:11:22,306
An urban myth, that's all.
178
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,601
Kiwi?
179
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,186
What… What's up?
180
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:30,106
Afterlife. Stop by. Can you come?
181
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:32,608
Party's rolling. By the bar.
How many now?
182
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:35,111
No, no. Possible client.
Wants to meet you.
183
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:38,614
-David.
-Yo. 'Sup, Kiwi?
184
00:11:39,907 --> 00:11:41,867
Good luck.
185
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:47,123
I believe this is the first
we've met, Mister Martinez.
186
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:50,626
Not exactly. Saw you swing by once
to talk to Maine.
187
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:55,047
Indeed. Well, it's a pleasure.
188
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:56,507
The name's Faraday.
189
00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:01,303
Got a job for me?
190
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:05,015
Where's the fire?
Let me buy you a drink.
191
00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:08,894
I've heard a great deal about you, David.
192
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:11,897
You're building quite the reputation.
193
00:12:11,981 --> 00:12:14,900
The Sandevistan from Santo
is one name I've heard.
194
00:12:15,651 --> 00:12:17,611
Got more than just the Sandy now.
195
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:22,158
True. It's difficult
to spot the 'ganic amidst all that steel.
196
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:26,287
Maine and I had an arrangement,
as you may know.
197
00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:27,621
I heard about it.
198
00:12:27,705 --> 00:12:30,374
He understood the need for crew chemistry.
199
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:32,543
-Yeah.
-But as you saw,
200
00:12:32,626 --> 00:12:35,337
his flaw was in personal attachment.
201
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:38,674
Familiarity muddies the mind,
leads to ruin.
202
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:42,011
I hear you're also a teambuilder.
203
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:44,847
Keep biz and private seperate,
if that's what you mean.
204
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:49,894
I need convincing that you can work
at Maine's level, deliver as he did.
205
00:12:49,977 --> 00:12:53,522
-A test?
-You're welcome to think of it that way.
206
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:56,692
Test all you want,
but we don't do jobs on the cheap.
207
00:12:56,776 --> 00:13:00,696
I assure you.
Nothing from my desk is cheap.
208
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:08,829
A job from Militech?
209
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:11,207
Arasaka's bitter rival.
210
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:15,294
Megacorps offer the most lucrative
contracts. That's no great secret.
211
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:17,546
Do you foresee a problem with this?
212
00:13:18,714 --> 00:13:21,717
-Not at all.
-That's what I like to hear.
213
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,637
There's a contract
I'd like you to take over.
214
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,722
It should seem familiar.
215
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,058
You talking about Tanaka,
the data heist gig?
216
00:13:29,141 --> 00:13:30,684
I received a report
217
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:34,146
-that Tanaka posess no relevant data.
-Yeah.
218
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:38,108
But I also learned how you
managed to pierce Arasaka's ICE.
219
00:13:38,192 --> 00:13:42,238
A new netrunner on the crew cracked it.
And without Kiwi's help.
220
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:45,574
True. Our crew has had
some luck with runners lately.
221
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,577
Excellent. However,
I hear she's gone dark.
222
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:52,081
Yeah. Been taking a break
since that gig.
223
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:55,584
But why?
Such a waste of talent, potential.
224
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:57,837
Her heart's just not in it.
225
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,090
I suggest you give her a nudge
in the right direction.
226
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:03,467
Easier said than done. Huh?
227
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:09,265
But Arasaka knows Militech's
after them. Ain't that right?
228
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:10,474
Them and everyone else.
229
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:13,853
So, what's Militech after
that they'd risk such a ballsy move?
230
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:18,232
That is for me to know.
It is certainly no concern of yours.
231
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:21,735
Unneeded details also muddy the mind.
232
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:23,737
Learn anything new that might help us?
233
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:27,741
I'm afraid not. But good things
come to those who act.
234
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:31,370
First, prove you're worth my time.
235
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:42,631
You're home.
236
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:47,595
Pretty late.
237
00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:50,723
Got a little caught up.
238
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,517
Victory lap at Minjung's?
239
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:54,476
Hm-mmm.
240
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,437
Any hiccups today?
241
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,731
We did lose someone, yeah.
242
00:14:58,814 --> 00:15:00,065
Who?
243
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:02,401
Rookie solo. Wakako's.
244
00:15:02,484 --> 00:15:05,404
But everything else
went alright?
245
00:15:05,487 --> 00:15:08,824
Nothing tricky.
Kid just got excited. Hasty.
246
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,285
Now, why does that sound familiar?
247
00:15:11,368 --> 00:15:12,912
Watch it.
248
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:16,624
-Hey.
-Hmm?
249
00:15:16,707 --> 00:15:19,001
Landed something pretty big for us today.
250
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:20,628
Sounds like fun.
251
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:24,256
So, uhm, have you considered
coming back to the crew?
252
00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:27,426
Two netrunners on one team
sounds like a crowd.
253
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:30,471
Lucy, we both know I'd always
rather have you around.
254
00:15:30,554 --> 00:15:32,431
-Please, David.
-Huh?
255
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:34,934
I just need a little more time.
256
00:15:36,977 --> 00:15:38,938
Of course. No problem.
257
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:41,565
More diving today?
258
00:15:42,316 --> 00:15:43,400
Hm-mmm.
259
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:45,444
Buy a runnersuit, why don't you.
260
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:47,071
Don't need one.
261
00:15:47,154 --> 00:15:49,365
Should get you
a new chair at least.
262
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:51,825
That ice bath can't be comfy.
263
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:55,746
Thanks, but never liked
chairs, suits.
264
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:56,705
Oh.
265
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,666
Sorry. Didn't know that.
266
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,714
-David?
-Huh?
267
00:16:06,423 --> 00:16:07,716
Come on.
268
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:09,134
Uh…
269
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:17,393
Whoa! Look at all those stars!
270
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,436
Can't get a view like this in the city.
271
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,563
Maybe I'll catch one.
272
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:23,357
You're lucky you're cute.
273
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,275
Sure wish the moon was out.
274
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:28,612
You can see the stars better, brighter,
when it's stays away.
275
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:29,738
Really?
276
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,408
Really, really. The moon outshines 'em.
277
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,910
Are you sure you went to Arasaka Academy?
278
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:38,122
-I'm dropped out, remember?
-Ah, right.
279
00:16:38,205 --> 00:16:41,917
You know, I've never been
outside the city before.
280
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:43,127
Is that right?
281
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:47,381
But you have had a life
outside Night City once?
282
00:16:50,801 --> 00:16:54,346
Looks like a prison from here.
A cage of light.
283
00:16:57,725 --> 00:16:59,601
Might not remember…
284
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:01,020
Hmm?
285
00:17:01,103 --> 00:17:03,814
Said once you and I were
worlds apart.
286
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:06,066
Yeah.
287
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:07,651
What'd you mean by that?
288
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:12,364
Rather not say?
289
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:16,493
You'd rather not hear.
290
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:19,788
It's just…
I'd like to know more about you.
291
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:25,544
Arasaka.
292
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:27,296
-Arasaka?
-Yup.
293
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:29,923
I was born in another country,
294
00:17:30,007 --> 00:17:32,051
raised in an Arasaka facility.
295
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,219
There were 13 of us.
296
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:38,557
Kids who passed a proficiency test
were tagged to become netrunners.
297
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,311
Kids who wouldn't be missed anywhere else.
298
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:46,648
"We'll serve the world's most powerful
megacorp one day."
299
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:51,320
That dream got us through
the toughest days, the toughest training.
300
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:55,699
Its the dream we were given.
A dream we never questioned.
301
00:17:55,783 --> 00:17:58,535
One day, training was done.
302
00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:02,164
We expected corp assignments
the world over.
303
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:05,209
Instead, they moved us underground.
304
00:18:05,292 --> 00:18:09,630
And day in, day out,
they forced us to dive.
305
00:18:09,713 --> 00:18:12,257
Old Net's where they sent us.
306
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:13,842
Wait. The Old Net?
307
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:18,597
But I thought that whole system collapsed
something like 50 years ago, didn't it?
308
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,768
Brought down by history's greatest
netrunner, creator of daemons.
309
00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:27,189
He was a true savant, super hacker,
legend Rache Bartmoss.
310
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:28,774
Oh, shit, yeah.
311
00:18:28,857 --> 00:18:32,778
That guy corrupted like 78 percent
of the global net in single day.
312
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:37,407
Hm-mmm.
DataKrash virus shattered cyberspace.
313
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:41,203
Broke the Net into a scattered mosaic
of isolated localnets.
314
00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:44,456
Connection severed, data lost.
It was chaos.
315
00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:48,377
Arasaka's purpose
lies somewhere in the Old Net.
316
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:51,922
They're searching for legacy info,
lost knowledge.
317
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:57,302
All of us kids, we were soldiers sent into
a nest of daemons and.
318
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:02,099
Only an advanced runner can interface
using their whole mind.
319
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:03,600
A deep-dive.
320
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:07,437
It gives shape and form
to cyberspace, a way to traverse it.
321
00:19:07,521 --> 00:19:10,440
But whenever we uncovered
any rare data cache…
322
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:17,614
…Rogue AIs would find us and swarm.
323
00:19:20,117 --> 00:19:22,703
We were picked off one by one.
324
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:28,750
More empty chairs after each dive.
And my hope, each dive would be my last.
325
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:31,211
Wasn't long before there were only
a handful of us left.
326
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:37,050
We were chasing someone else's dream,
throwing down our lives to do it.
327
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:41,597
So we realized, "If we're goners,
why not die chasing our own dream?"
328
00:19:42,806 --> 00:19:45,184
The tech staff didn't stand a chance.
329
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:47,477
Not in the face of the skills
they'd taught us.
330
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:00,574
I ran and ran.
331
00:20:00,657 --> 00:20:02,492
Heard shots, my friend's screams.
332
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:05,078
But I never looked back.
333
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:16,423
Next clear memory I have
is of a junkyard.
334
00:20:17,591 --> 00:20:20,510
Home, I guess.
But I was too scared to stay long.
335
00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:23,764
I roamed, place to place.
336
00:20:25,974 --> 00:20:29,519
But there's no place like Night City
if you wanna hide.
337
00:20:30,145 --> 00:20:32,522
And even now,
still feel like they're chasing you?
338
00:20:33,106 --> 00:20:35,234
Not really, I guess.
339
00:20:35,317 --> 00:20:37,277
Maybe I've just grown
too comfortable here.
340
00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:40,656
Or maybe I've grown used to being scared.
341
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:43,617
Your hand.
342
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:46,286
It's nothing. It'll be fine in a sec.
343
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:50,165
Haven't changed, have you?
Still chasing someone else's dream.
344
00:20:55,879 --> 00:20:57,297
It's not like I don't understand.
345
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:05,305
Just that… that things are different now.
Can't be afraid for myself anymore.
346
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,432
Only if you're now is…
347
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:08,934
Someday, you'll…
348
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:22,239
Yes.
I managed to retrieve most of the data.
349
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:24,825
But the vital's file
for one of the test subjects
350
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:26,743
was completely corrupted.
351
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:30,289
Yes. Manipulated deliberately.
352
00:21:30,372 --> 00:21:32,708
No trace in the ICE. No.
353
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:34,543
But this level of precision,
354
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:37,212
well, there's only a handful
of netrunners capable of it.
355
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:42,759
No. I don't believe that.
Tanaka had no reason to do so.
356
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:47,180
My assumption. His system
was breached when he was captured.
357
00:21:47,264 --> 00:21:50,017
Understood.
I'll do what I can do to restore it.
358
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:52,269
Goodbye.
