1
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:23,858
Got ants in your pants, Julio?
2
00:00:23,941 --> 00:00:24,942
No way!
3
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:28,321
Wakako's bitch, right?
Newby-boobs she stuck us with.
4
00:00:28,404 --> 00:00:29,655
Heard you're David's fan.
5
00:00:29,739 --> 00:00:32,658
But what
do you mean "stuck with us"?
6
00:00:32,742 --> 00:00:34,952
Wow! You're that!
7
00:00:35,036 --> 00:00:36,954
You're actually a fans now.
8
00:00:37,038 --> 00:00:39,916
Probably because you got all swole.
9
00:00:39,999 --> 00:00:40,958
Got iron?
10
00:00:41,042 --> 00:00:43,002
-Huh?
-Carrying, right?
11
00:00:43,086 --> 00:00:44,962
Yeah, I've got a Lexington.
12
00:00:45,046 --> 00:00:46,547
Don't cut it.
13
00:00:46,631 --> 00:00:49,592
Peashooter like that
won't even dent Maelstrom metal.
14
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:51,094
Try this one out.
15
00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:54,514
Seriously, choom? A Satara!
16
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:56,224
Fuck me. Nova!
17
00:00:56,307 --> 00:00:58,392
Tech shotties, man.
18
00:00:58,476 --> 00:00:59,769
Preem as hell.
19
00:00:59,852 --> 00:01:01,562
Charged-up shots.
20
00:01:01,646 --> 00:01:05,274
Oh yeah. Boom!
21
00:01:05,358 --> 00:01:06,567
Boom!
22
00:01:06,651 --> 00:01:08,236
Boom!
23
00:01:09,821 --> 00:01:11,114
-Knock it off!
-Wait! Watch my knees!
24
00:01:11,197 --> 00:01:11,989
Wait. Knees.
25
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:14,909
So annoying! Why!
26
00:01:14,992 --> 00:01:16,452
Just remember to stay behind me.
27
00:01:16,536 --> 00:01:17,995
And be smart. Don't rush.
28
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,999
You mean you want me to take rear?
Hey, I ain't no newb, man
29
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:23,751
Attention, ladies.
30
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:26,003
We're 'bout a minute out now.
31
00:02:59,764 --> 00:03:01,557
Got a small army on our hands.
32
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:04,185
Heaps of iron and turrets. Multiples
33
00:03:04,268 --> 00:03:06,812
Can't ping them all for quickhacks.
Not enough time.
34
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:08,731
Front door's a dead zone. That's crystal.
35
00:03:08,814 --> 00:03:11,067
So, plan B. Find the back door.
Definitely.
36
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:13,486
Easy-peasy. Plan C's my pick.
37
00:03:13,569 --> 00:03:14,570
Agreed.
38
00:03:14,654 --> 00:03:16,822
No backdoor swoop-in? Why?
39
00:03:16,906 --> 00:03:18,741
Knock yourself out. Get to it
40
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:21,077
Hey, wait. Don't leave me.
41
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,995
Front door's all, looks like to me.
42
00:03:23,079 --> 00:03:25,081
You think.move.
43
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:32,338
Hey. Who ordered lunch, mate?
You little babies lost?
44
00:03:32,421 --> 00:03:34,840
Think they're here to scout something?
45
00:03:34,924 --> 00:03:37,343
You dirtbags wanna get punked?
46
00:03:37,426 --> 00:03:39,595
Better start talking now, scumbag,
47
00:03:39,679 --> 00:03:42,056
before I drill you a fresh eyehole.
48
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:43,849
You better stop before I do the same.
49
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:46,852
Yeehaw!
50
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:51,607
Tagging complete. Short circ incoming.
51
00:03:51,691 --> 00:03:52,525
Done.
52
00:03:52,608 --> 00:03:54,860
Not a millisec to spare, Mr. Plan C.
53
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:57,238
Oh! They've got a netrunner!
54
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,374
I don't wanna die, man.
55
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:10,626
Damn. Missed a few. All yours.
56
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:12,837
Come on! Come on! Let's go.
57
00:04:13,838 --> 00:04:15,172
Toys run dry.
58
00:04:15,256 --> 00:04:18,175
-That little bitch ran out of juice!
-Fuck her up!
59
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:21,095
And now, here comes the big guns!
60
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:24,181
A goddamn turret!
61
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:26,684
Kiwi.
62
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,437
Hey! Runner's grabbed a--
63
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Please, Kiwi. Give me some, Kiwi.
64
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:47,997
Tiny birds. Aren't you scared?
65
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,916
Yo! The fuck. Is that human?
66
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,959
Huh?
67
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,970
Did you never learn to fly?
68
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:17,735
Time for major dick show.
69
00:05:29,622 --> 00:05:33,542
No, thanks, choom.
I know how to fly just fine.
70
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:41,092
Nova! Zoot-zoot-zoot, bang!
71
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:42,927
Those your fancy new leg implants?
72
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,303
Looking damn good.
73
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:46,430
No more. All clear. Last one.
74
00:05:46,514 --> 00:05:50,726
Room behind you. Target's there.
Her, others too. All friendlies.
75
00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:51,685
Roger, roger.
76
00:05:51,769 --> 00:05:53,813
Yo! Back room. On it.
77
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:55,314
-Wait! Julio!
-Bang!
78
00:05:55,398 --> 00:05:57,316
-Watch out for--
-Bang!
79
00:06:08,536 --> 00:06:10,955
Isabella Morgan, you in here?
80
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,209
I'm here 'cause your dad put out an SOS.
81
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:17,128
You're safe now.
82
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,718
Wakako, there?
83
00:06:25,511 --> 00:06:27,721
You safely secured the target, I hear.
84
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:30,182
Our client will be pleased.
85
00:06:30,266 --> 00:06:33,352
Yes, that Isabella was saved,
not-not butchered like cattle.
86
00:06:33,436 --> 00:06:34,478
Just did my part.
87
00:06:34,562 --> 00:06:38,482
Yes. Most impressive.
True. The rumors of you proved true.
88
00:06:38,566 --> 00:06:39,942
Oh, sorry about Julio.
89
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:42,027
No, no. Do not apologize.
90
00:06:42,111 --> 00:06:45,114
The boy, fool,
insisted on the work with you.
91
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:47,241
Not ready, I said. Not ready, indeed.
92
00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:50,494
Any new lead we get,
we-we will be in touch, David.
93
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,997
Yeah. Good doing biz.
94
00:07:03,591 --> 00:07:04,508
Thank you kindly.
95
00:07:05,092 --> 00:07:07,428
Appreciate the ride, Falco. Really.
96
00:07:07,511 --> 00:07:09,847
Always happy to keep the engine rolling.
97
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:13,601
Come on. Dependable
wheelmen are hard to find.
98
00:07:13,684 --> 00:07:17,438
Oh, not sure about that. You've
gathered yourself quite the fan club.
99
00:07:17,521 --> 00:07:19,023
Oh. Julio, you mean?
100
00:07:19,607 --> 00:07:22,526
Knew that goose was bluffing
the moment we met.
101
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,324
We'd land better talent if we
were all vets. Not everyone's like Maine,
102
00:07:28,407 --> 00:07:30,201
willing to take a chance on us.
103
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:32,077
Have to admit,
when I got the call,
104
00:07:32,161 --> 00:07:34,663
I took you for a pusher-punk wannabe.
105
00:07:34,747 --> 00:07:36,582
Truth is, you were.
106
00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:41,795
But now? Well…
107
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:45,049
Expect you'll fly higher
than Maine ever did.
108
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:50,387
Right. Gonna roll
before this all turns to goop.
109
00:07:50,471 --> 00:07:52,556
Buzz me for your next big gig, huh?
110
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,809
Till then. Later, David. Kiwi.
111
00:07:55,893 --> 00:07:58,062
-Yeah.
-Later.
112
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:01,065
Honestly?
113
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:04,401
I doubted you had it in you,
to take the reins.
114
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:07,363
Couldn'ta. Not without
the city's preemest runner.
115
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:10,783
Both know you don't mean me.
Where is she?
116
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:15,329
Been asking her?
117
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:18,791
Not anymore. Kinda gave up trying.
118
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:21,502
Never pegged her as the type
to get all shook-up.
119
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:26,215
More than what happened
to Maine and Dorio is at play, I think.
120
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:31,929
At the warehouse,
Lucy was acting, I don't know, strange.
121
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,389
Strange how?
122
00:08:33,472 --> 00:08:36,934
Hard to say. Whole thing's kind of a blur.
It might have been nothing.
123
00:08:40,771 --> 00:08:42,273
By the way.
124
00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:45,859
Wasn't it you who brought Lucy onboard,
found her a spot in the crew?
125
00:08:45,943 --> 00:08:46,777
That's right.
126
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,196
She, like, ever talk to you about her past
or anything?
127
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:53,325
Most of the cybes in our league
don't bring up the old days.
128
00:08:53,409 --> 00:08:57,371
Shame, greed. Some. Whatever.
129
00:08:57,454 --> 00:09:01,083
Either you're looking for a way out,
130
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:03,252
or a way up, doesn't matter.
131
00:09:04,587 --> 00:09:06,088
-Yo, yo, yo!
-Hmm?
132
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:07,881
David, why the long face?
133
00:09:07,965 --> 00:09:11,969
This nagging old hag keeping you
off the dancefloor?
134
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:17,099
Although, some edgerunners die
in more shame than they started with.
135
00:09:17,182 --> 00:09:19,518
Yo. It ain't right to badmouth the dead.
136
00:09:19,602 --> 00:09:23,355
It's not my bro's fault
he got zeroed by some bare-dick psycho.
137
00:09:23,439 --> 00:09:27,318
Oh, whatevs! Have you ever seen
David dance? It's a riot.
138
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:29,903
Sounds preem,
but I think I'm gonna bounce.
139
00:09:29,987 --> 00:09:32,781
-I gotta stop by Doc's.
-Seriously? Again?
140
00:09:32,865 --> 00:09:35,951
Been tellin' that bastard
you desperately need a dance chip.
141
00:09:36,035 --> 00:09:37,620
-At least a pop hit grind!
-Will do.
142
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:39,371
See ya.
143
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:44,752
Hey! I ain't good at playing just friends.
144
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:47,254
Considered shaking up your approach?
145
00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:48,631
Yeah? How you figure?
146
00:09:49,214 --> 00:09:50,841
'Stead of hot and loud,
147
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:54,011
I try cold, distant, and nerdy?
148
00:09:57,222 --> 00:10:00,934
It's an oversized faucet.
Arm socket connector's warped.
149
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:03,646
Jamming that fucker in was a miracle.
150
00:10:03,729 --> 00:10:05,814
My advice, trash it.
151
00:10:05,898 --> 00:10:08,400
Got all kinds of next-gen chrome out back.
152
00:10:08,484 --> 00:10:09,401
I know you got the scratch.
153
00:10:09,985 --> 00:10:11,403
Nah, this one's good.
154
00:10:11,487 --> 00:10:14,907
Tsk. Fine. It's your funeral.
155
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:19,203
Got any fresh muscle reinforcers?
Kiroshi's new model, maybe?
156
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:22,456
Excuse me. Didn't know I had
a corm jack on my table.
157
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:23,666
Oh, come on. I'm not.
158
00:10:24,249 --> 00:10:25,626
You need to chill, choom.
159
00:10:25,709 --> 00:10:28,837
Unless you want a strict diet
of immunoblockers.
160
00:10:28,921 --> 00:10:31,006
I'm doing just fine, Doc.
161
00:10:31,090 --> 00:10:32,633
Better than fine, actually.
162
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:36,428
It's like, I feel better in metal
than in my own skin.
163
00:10:36,512 --> 00:10:40,891
Well, your affinity for cyberware
is fucking nuts, I'll grant you that.
164
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,019
Ain't never seen a kid
bogged out quite like this.
165
00:10:44,103 --> 00:10:46,897
Lotta other peeps woulda cut by now.
166
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,066
Believe yourself to be special?
167
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,485
Must just be special, I guess.
168
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:54,947
Ha! Makes you
Adam Smasher 2.0, choom.
169
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:56,573
-Adam who?
-Christ.
170
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:58,992
All this time
and you're still a fucking newb.
171
00:10:59,076 --> 00:11:01,745
Adam Smasher. Name to know.
172
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:05,541
To some, a hero of the 4th Corporate War,
173
00:11:05,624 --> 00:11:09,795
to others, a fully cyborged
boogeyman, a walking nightmare.
174
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:13,382
But to all, a living legend, a skinny one.
175
00:11:13,966 --> 00:11:16,343
What kind of legend?
176
00:11:16,427 --> 00:11:20,597
The kind that fills graveyards
on Arasaka's orders.
177
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:22,349
An urban myth, that's all.
178
00:11:23,726 --> 00:11:25,644
Kiwi?
179
00:11:25,728 --> 00:11:27,229
What… What's up?
180
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:30,149
Afterlife. Stop by. Can you come?
181
00:11:30,232 --> 00:11:32,651
Party's rolling. By the bar.
How many now?
182
00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:35,154
No, no. Possible client.
Wants to meet you.
183
00:11:35,904 --> 00:11:38,657
-David.
-Yo. 'Sup, Kiwi?
184
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:41,910
Good luck.
185
00:11:43,746 --> 00:11:47,166
I believe this is the first
we've met, Mister Martinez.
186
00:11:47,249 --> 00:11:50,669
Not exactly. Saw you swing by once
to talk to Maine.
187
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,090
Indeed. Well, it's a pleasure.
188
00:11:55,174 --> 00:11:56,550
The name's Faraday.
189
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:01,346
Got a job for me?
190
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:05,058
Where's the fire?
Let me buy you a drink.
191
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:08,937
I've heard a great deal about you, David.
192
00:12:09,021 --> 00:12:11,940
You're building quite the reputation.
193
00:12:12,024 --> 00:12:14,943
The Sandevistan from Santo
is one name I've heard.
194
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:17,654
Got more than just the Sandy now.
195
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:22,201
True. It's difficult
to spot the 'ganic amidst all that steel.
196
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:26,330
Maine and I had an arrangement,
as you may know.
197
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:27,664
I heard about it.
198
00:12:27,748 --> 00:12:30,417
He understood the need for crew chemistry.
199
00:12:30,501 --> 00:12:32,586
-Yeah.
-But as you saw,
200
00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:35,380
his flaw was in personal attachment.
201
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:38,717
Familiarity muddies the mind,
leads to ruin.
202
00:12:39,301 --> 00:12:42,054
I hear you're also a teambuilder.
203
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:44,890
Keep biz and private seperate,
if that's what you mean.
204
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:49,937
I need convincing that you can work
at Maine's level, deliver as he did.
205
00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:53,565
-A test?
-You're welcome to think of it that way.
206
00:12:53,649 --> 00:12:56,735
Test all you want,
but we don't do jobs on the cheap.
207
00:12:56,819 --> 00:13:00,739
I assure you.
Nothing from my desk is cheap.
208
00:13:06,954 --> 00:13:08,872
A job from Militech?
209
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:11,250
Arasaka's bitter rival.
210
00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:15,337
Megacorps offer the most lucrative
contracts. That's no great secret.
211
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,589
Do you foresee a problem with this?
212
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:21,760
-Not at all.
-That's what I like to hear.
213
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,680
There's a contract
I'd like you to take over.
214
00:13:24,763 --> 00:13:26,765
It should seem familiar.
215
00:13:26,849 --> 00:13:29,101
You talking about Tanaka,
the data heist gig?
216
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:30,727
I received a report
217
00:13:30,811 --> 00:13:34,189
-that Tanaka posess no relevant data.
-Yeah.
218
00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:38,151
But I also learned how you
managed to pierce Arasaka's ICE.
219
00:13:38,235 --> 00:13:42,281
A new netrunner on the crew cracked it.
And without Kiwi's help.
220
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:45,617
True. Our crew has had
some luck with runners lately.
221
00:13:45,701 --> 00:13:48,620
Excellent. However,
I hear she's gone dark.
222
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:52,124
Yeah. Been taking a break
since that gig.
223
00:13:52,207 --> 00:13:55,627
But why?
Such a waste of talent, potential.
224
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:57,880
Her heart's just not in it.
225
00:13:57,963 --> 00:14:01,133
I suggest you give her a nudge
in the right direction.
226
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:03,510
Easier said than done. Huh?
227
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:09,308
But Arasaka knows Militech's
after them. Ain't that right?
228
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:10,517
Them and everyone else.
229
00:14:10,601 --> 00:14:13,896
So, what's Militech after
that they'd risk such a ballsy move?
230
00:14:14,646 --> 00:14:18,275
That is for me to know.
It is certainly no concern of yours.
231
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:21,778
Unneeded details also muddy the mind.
232
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:23,780
Learn anything new that might help us?
233
00:14:23,864 --> 00:14:27,784
I'm afraid not. But good things
come to those who act.
234
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:31,413
First, prove you're worth my time.
235
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:42,674
You're home.
236
00:14:46,261 --> 00:14:47,638
Pretty late.
237
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:50,766
Got a little caught up.
238
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:53,560
Victory lap at Minjung's?
239
00:14:53,644 --> 00:14:54,519
Hm-mmm.
240
00:14:54,603 --> 00:14:56,480
Any hiccups today?
241
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:58,774
We did lose someone, yeah.
242
00:14:58,857 --> 00:15:00,108
Who?
243
00:15:00,192 --> 00:15:02,444
Rookie solo. Wakako's.
244
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:05,447
But everything else
went alright?
245
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,867
Nothing tricky.
Kid just got excited. Hasty.
246
00:15:08,951 --> 00:15:11,328
Now, why does that sound familiar?
247
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:12,955
Watch it.
248
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,667
-Hey.
-Hmm?
249
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:19,044
Landed something pretty big for us today.
250
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:20,671
Sounds like fun.
251
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:24,299
So, uhm, have you considered
coming back to the crew?
252
00:15:24,383 --> 00:15:27,469
Two netrunners on one team
sounds like a crowd.
253
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:30,514
Lucy, we both know I'd always
rather have you around.
254
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:32,474
-Please, David.
-Huh?
255
00:15:33,058 --> 00:15:34,977
I just need a little more time.
256
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:38,981
Of course. No problem.
257
00:15:40,482 --> 00:15:41,608
More diving today?
258
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:43,443
Hm-mmm.
259
00:15:43,527 --> 00:15:45,487
Buy a runnersuit, why don't you.
260
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:47,114
Don't need one.
261
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:49,408
Should get you
a new chair at least.
262
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:51,868
That ice bath can't be comfy.
263
00:15:51,952 --> 00:15:55,789
Thanks, but never liked
chairs, suits.
264
00:15:55,872 --> 00:15:56,748
Oh.
265
00:15:56,832 --> 00:15:58,709
Sorry. Didn't know that.
266
00:16:03,422 --> 00:16:05,757
-David?
-Huh?
267
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:07,759
Come on.
268
00:16:08,343 --> 00:16:09,177
Uh…
269
00:16:15,142 --> 00:16:17,436
Whoa! Look at all those stars!
270
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:19,479
Can't get a view like this in the city.
271
00:16:19,563 --> 00:16:21,606
Maybe I'll catch one.
272
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,400
You're lucky you're cute.
273
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,318
Sure wish the moon was out.
274
00:16:25,402 --> 00:16:28,655
You can see the stars better, brighter,
when it's stays away.
275
00:16:28,739 --> 00:16:29,781
Really?
276
00:16:29,865 --> 00:16:32,451
Really, really. The moon outshines 'em.
277
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:34,953
Are you sure you went to Arasaka Academy?
278
00:16:35,037 --> 00:16:38,165
-I'm dropped out, remember?
-Ah, right.
279
00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:41,960
You know, I've never been
outside the city before.
280
00:16:42,044 --> 00:16:43,170
Is that right?
281
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:47,424
But you have had a life
outside Night City once?
282
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:54,389
Looks like a prison from here.
A cage of light.
283
00:16:57,768 --> 00:16:59,644
Might not remember…
284
00:16:59,728 --> 00:17:01,063
Hmm?
285
00:17:01,146 --> 00:17:03,857
Said once you and I were
worlds apart.
286
00:17:04,983 --> 00:17:06,109
Yeah.
287
00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:07,694
What'd you mean by that?
288
00:17:11,239 --> 00:17:12,407
Rather not say?
289
00:17:14,993 --> 00:17:16,536
You'd rather not hear.
290
00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:19,831
It's just…
I'd like to know more about you.
291
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:25,587
Arasaka.
292
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:27,339
-Arasaka?
-Yup.
293
00:17:28,090 --> 00:17:29,966
I was born in another country,
294
00:17:30,050 --> 00:17:32,094
raised in an Arasaka facility.
295
00:17:32,928 --> 00:17:34,262
There were 13 of us.
296
00:17:34,346 --> 00:17:38,600
Kids who passed a proficiency test
were tagged to become netrunners.
297
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:42,354
Kids who wouldn't be missed anywhere else.
298
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:46,691
"We'll serve the world's most powerful
megacorp one day."
299
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:51,363
That dream got us through
the toughest days, the toughest training.
300
00:17:51,446 --> 00:17:55,742
Its the dream we were given.
A dream we never questioned.
301
00:17:55,826 --> 00:17:58,578
One day, training was done.
302
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:02,207
We expected corp assignments
the world over.
303
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:05,252
Instead, they moved us underground.
304
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:09,673
And day in, day out,
they forced us to dive.
305
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:12,300
Old Net's where they sent us.
306
00:18:12,384 --> 00:18:13,885
Wait. The Old Net?
307
00:18:13,969 --> 00:18:18,640
But I thought that whole system collapsed
something like 50 years ago, didn't it?
308
00:18:18,723 --> 00:18:22,811
Brought down by history's greatest
netrunner, creator of daemons.
309
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:27,232
He was a true savant, super hacker,
legend Rache Bartmoss.
310
00:18:27,315 --> 00:18:28,817
Oh, shit, yeah.
311
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:32,821
That guy corrupted like 78 percent
of the global net in single day.
312
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:37,450
Hm-mmm.
DataKrash virus shattered cyberspace.
313
00:18:37,534 --> 00:18:41,246
Broke the Net into a scattered mosaic
of isolated localnets.
314
00:18:41,329 --> 00:18:44,499
Connection severed, data lost.
It was chaos.
315
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:48,420
Arasaka's purpose
lies somewhere in the Old Net.
316
00:18:48,503 --> 00:18:51,965
They're searching for legacy info,
lost knowledge.
317
00:18:52,048 --> 00:18:57,345
All of us kids, we were soldiers sent into
a nest of daemons and.
318
00:18:58,513 --> 00:19:02,142
Only an advanced runner can interface
using their whole mind.
319
00:19:02,225 --> 00:19:03,643
A deep-dive.
320
00:19:03,727 --> 00:19:07,480
It gives shape and form
to cyberspace, a way to traverse it.
321
00:19:07,564 --> 00:19:10,483
But whenever we uncovered
any rare data cache…
322
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:17,657
…Rogue AIs would find us and swarm.
323
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,746
We were picked off one by one.
324
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:28,793
More empty chairs after each dive.
And my hope, each dive would be my last.
325
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:31,254
Wasn't long before there were only
a handful of us left.
326
00:19:32,881 --> 00:19:37,093
We were chasing someone else's dream,
throwing down our lives to do it.
327
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:41,640
So we realized, "If we're goners,
why not die chasing our own dream?"
328
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:45,227
The tech staff didn't stand a chance.
329
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:47,520
Not in the face of the skills
they'd taught us.
330
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,617
I ran and ran.
331
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:02,535
Heard shots, my friend's screams.
332
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:05,121
But I never looked back.
333
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:16,466
Next clear memory I have
is of a junkyard.
334
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:20,553
Home, I guess.
But I was too scared to stay long.
335
00:20:21,471 --> 00:20:23,807
I roamed, place to place.
336
00:20:26,017 --> 00:20:29,562
But there's no place like Night City
if you wanna hide.
337
00:20:30,188 --> 00:20:32,565
And even now,
still feel like they're chasing you?
338
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:35,277
Not really, I guess.
339
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,320
Maybe I've just grown
too comfortable here.
340
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:40,699
Or maybe I've grown used to being scared.
341
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:43,660
Your hand.
342
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:46,329
It's nothing. It'll be fine in a sec.
343
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:50,208
Haven't changed, have you?
Still chasing someone else's dream.
344
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,340
It's not like I don't understand.
345
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:05,348
Just that… that things are different now.
Can't be afraid for myself anymore.
346
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:07,475
Only if you're now is…
347
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:08,977
Someday, you'll…
348
00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:22,282
Yes.
I managed to retrieve most of the data.
349
00:21:22,365 --> 00:21:24,868
But the vital's file
for one of the test subjects
350
00:21:24,951 --> 00:21:26,786
was completely corrupted.
351
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:30,332
Yes. Manipulated deliberately.
352
00:21:30,415 --> 00:21:32,751
No trace in the ICE. No.
353
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:34,586
But this level of precision,
354
00:21:34,669 --> 00:21:37,255
well, there's only a handful
of netrunners capable of it.
355
00:21:39,007 --> 00:21:42,802
No. I don't believe that.
Tanaka had no reason to do so.
356
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:47,223
My assumption. His system
was breached when he was captured.
357
00:21:47,307 --> 00:21:50,060
Understood.
I'll do what I can do to restore it.
358
00:21:51,269 --> 00:21:52,312
Goodbye.
