[music fades]

Hey, Sal. I brought you a reel.

Roman?

[Roman] And this is probably the last one you'll ever get of D.

[Sal] Kinda surprised to see ya here.

-[Roman] Why's that? -[Sal] Why do you think?

[Roman] Huh?

[reporter] The NCPD says the riots in Heywood have finally been dispersed.

While the suspected instigator remains at large,

all other threats have been neutralized,

and travel conditions in the district are expected to return to normal shortly.

[Talia] Who's there?

There you are.

Where have you been?

[Talia] Weak?

I'm sorry.

[door opens]

[gasps]

[trembling]

[gasps]

[gasps]

Weak?

[man] Uh… Oh, Miss Yang.

I found the Yangs' daughter. She's in the morgue now.

Uh, no, I haven't asked her yet.

[giggles]

Wait, where's the host?

[man 1] We disposed of him.

[Kyoko] You what?

Well, our orders were to secure and deliver the chip.

-[Kyoko] So you killed him? -[tense music playing]

Fucking morons!

-Halfwits! Shit-for-brains! -[both yelping]

Worthless trash! [shrieks]

His body's worth more than a thousand of you!

[wheezing angrily]

-[grunts] -[gasps]

-Die! -[Kiril] Kyoko, enough!

One of your cronies botched the orders!

This fuck-up is on you!

[Kiril] Only the chip? Where's the boy?

[Kyoko] These G.I. Jerkoffs scrapped him!

This is why Kang Tao will always be second-rate.

Militech would never have--

[man 2 gurgles]

-[thud] -Consider that my apology.

Now check the chip, if you please.

-Hah! -[music fades]

[inhaling]

-[man 1] Hey, asshole! -[Omi] Hmm?

-[man 2] Had enough? Shit! -[man 1] Done already?

-Fuckin' punk! -[laughter]

[man 3] Come on, I'm bored.

[Talia] No.

Don't touch her.

[man 1] Please be reasonable, Miss Yang.

[Talia] I said no.

My dad's not even here yet.

[man 2] We've already got his sign-off on it.

[Talia seethes] Then where the hell is he?

-[gasps] -[man 2] I'm sorry.

[Talia] The fuck does that mean?

Stop! You're not burning my mom!

[yells] Damn it! Aah!

You know I'd help right now if I could.

[Talia gasps]

Huh?

[screams] Mom!

[tires screech]

HOTEL PODS AVAILABLE

[car door opens]

[Omi grunts]

[sighs]

Jesus Christ, David. How'd it ever get to this?

[sighs]

[man 1] Imagine you're sitting on a pile o' eddies.

No wait, a room full of eddies.

A swimming pool. A football stadium!

[Omi] So, what's the plan now, tough guy?

Inciting a riot against Arasaka.

You were always dumb, but this is a new low.

It's only safe to crash here for one night, tops.

Is that clear?

I greased the receptionist, but I doubt she'll hold her tongue for long.

[sighs]

[grunts]

[sighs]

What did you even hope to accomplish, huh? Revenge this, revenge that…

You keep this up, it's gonna kill you. Is that what you want?

[man on TV] No, you heard me right…

[ringing]

-[power fades] -Hmm.

-[ringing] -Oh?

[woman] Sorry to bother. I'm calling about Miss Talia Yang…

[Kiril] "Blank"? What do you mean, "blank"?

She's incomplete!

Her soul's gone missing. It's not in the damn chip.

Fuck! It's a useless piece of junk!

[Kiril] It must have some power still. Perhaps--

Use your brain for a sec, will ya?

Using Capri's power without her soul installed is reckless!

I don't even know how it's possible.

Damn! How'd the son of a bitch do it?

[thinks] Think, Kyoko.

The boy looked like shit, but he was still clearly himself.

And he didn't seem to be talking with any voices in his head.

But a full install wouldn't have taken this long.

So she should have been in there.

Which means…

[gasps]

Did Capri split somewhere?

-[ringing] -Huh?

[Roman] You okay? It looked bad.

[Kyoko] Ah! That was nothing, nothing…

A little rattled, of course. How kind of you to worry about me.

[Roman] That's good.

D was acting strange, real strange. But, uh…

[Kyoko] That chip in his neck… It's no normal chip. Not normal at all.

It must be a prototype, or something of the kind.

[Kyoko] Whatever you know of the chip, tell me.

You must tell me.

You might be the key to helping him.

[Roman] This one time… slotted the shard into a girl. A choom of mine.

[Kyoko] He what? He put the chip in someone else?

When? Wh-why would he do that? To remove it?

Uh, give it away, take it back? Why?

What happened to her?

[Roman] Knocked her out. Sent her to the hospital.

She couldn't really move or do anything after.

She's okay now, I think.

Seemed bad, real bad, but bounced back.

[Kyoko] She recovered?

[Kiril] Huh?

[Roman] Kyoko? Do you know something?

-[power fades] -Wh…

[ringing]

[power fades]

No doubt about it. That must've been the moment Capri's engram split.

[Kiril] It can't be…

What? What is it?

[somber music playing]

[King] Hey, kid.

[Talia] Why did my mom die?

[King] I'm sorry.

[Talia] That's what you're here to tell me, isn't it?

Kinda doubt you came all this way just to check on me.

[King] Yeah.

[sighs]

Your mom and I broke into a Kang Tao research facility.

But when our plan fell apart, we had to make a run for it.

She got shot.

By the time we reached the hospital, she, uh…

[Talia] Why would she do that?

[King] To get you a new body. That was our aim.

[Talia] A body? For me?

[King] Well, the idea being, if we could transfer your soul into a new one,

you'd get a second chance.

[Talia] My soul?

[King] The tech's called Soulkiller.

Arasaka built it, Kang Tao copied it.

In theory, it, uh, pulls out a person's mind

and puts it in another body.

Facility we hit is where they keep those empty shells.

[Talia] You were really gonna do that?

You and Mom?

We thought we could save you.

[Talia] Who asked you to?

[sobs]

What made you think I would want that?

[sobs]

I know. It weighed on your mom until the very end.

[Talia] This is bullshit.

[gasps]

This is such bullshit!

[King] Uh…

-[engine whooshing] -Huh?

[engine powering down]

[door opens]

[sinister music playing]

[machinery hissing]

[gasps]

Talia. You seem to be doing well.

[Talia] Hey, Dad.

You're a little late. They already put Mom in a jar.

[sobbing] She died trying to save me!

[grunts] You asshole!

[grunting] Talia! He was there!

At the facility, commanding the unit!

-[grunting] -[Talia gasps]

He knew that your mom was there and opened fire anyway!

Please put a muzzle on him.

-[blows landing] -[King yelping]

[Talia screams] Let me go, damn it!

[grunting]

[sniffles]

I need you to come with me.

[Talia] Did you shoot Mom?

That's ridiculous.

[King] You fucking liar. I was there! I saw you do it!

Why can I still hear him?

-[blow lands] -[King groans]

-Go. -[Talia] Is it true?

Get your hands off of me! Lemme go!

-Capri! [gasps] -Huh!

-[Talia] Do something! Argh! -[chuckles]

-[King] Bastard. -[Kiril] Huh?

Don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter.

Sorry? What are you raving about? Think I misheard.

[King] Avida told me.

Talia is my daughter.

There it is. The honey she poured in your ear.

Now it makes sense. All your meddling.

[laughing]

-[continues laughing] -[King grumbles softly]

[Kiril] Aah! [sighs]

You miserable fool. Look here.

Talia is mine by every imaginable measure and definition.

[King breathing shakily]

-[grunts] -[whooshing]

[muffled grunting]

[yelps]

[Kiril] Genes!

Bloodline!

Bone structure!

Everything!

She belongs to me!

-[King groans] -[Kiril] Talia is my daughter!

[King groans]

-[punching] -[King groaning]

[wheezing]

[thump]

You could have checked yourself.

Just one simple test would've proved it beyond any doubt.

[King moans softly]

But you were eager to buy her story.

Because deep down, you feared the truth.

That Talia isn't yours.

-[door slams] -[jet engines whooshing]

[gasps and grunts]

[sighs]

She is my daughter!

-[echoing yell] Let her go! -[music fades]

[engine whirring]

[Talia] Dad?

Did you kill Mom?

Huh. What a pointless question.

[gasps]

-[power buzzing] -[Talia yelps]

[sighs]

[groaning softly]

[groaning and gasping]

[sighs]

[metal clicks]

[grunts and sighs]

Avida…

[man on TV] That means if you purchase it with standard armor-plating,

this British sports limo is safer than a tank,

and, as I'm sure you'd agree, offers far more panache…

[Omi] This is a side of you I don't recognize.

The David I knew saved me once.

Maybe you don't remember that.

But I still do.

[man on TV] If only I were rich…

Omi, I was too damn slow.

-They're all gone. -[Omi] Huh?

The people that butchered our clan, the corpo that gave the orders.

Everybody's already dead.

[sighs] And not a single thing I did fuckin' mattered.

-[Omi] Hmm. -[man on TV] That's all for today.

But else what was I supposed to do?

-[Omi sighs] -[gentle jazz music playing on TV]

[Kyoko] I see. Hmm.

Okay…

-[typing] -[Kyoko] Hmm. Huh?

What's this?

You put electromagnets in her joints?

Is that relevant?

They're for motion assist, right?

What were you training her for? The circus?

-[Kiril] Hmm. -[solemn music playing]

Easy, Yang. It was just a question.

The girl's really sick, isn't she?

We slowed the illness by replacing her failing tissue with cyberware.

We were led to believe she had a special tolerance for it.

[Kyoko] She does. Arasaka put her on a list for that reason.

They flagged her as a host candidate for Capricorn.

Did they now?

Of course, she was too risky to go after, being the kid of a rival corp exec.

[Kiril] Still, will this be too much?

In what sense?

[Kiril] Her tolerance has already reached its limit,

pushing her to the brink of cyberpsychosis.

On top of that, the illness has spread to her brain.

The doctors say she doesn't have long to live.

Say the install succeeds, but Talia dies.

What happens to Capricorn?

[Kyoko laughs] Aah…

What's so funny?

Sorry, but which one are you worried about?

[Kiril scoffs]

It's all right.

There is some evidence of brain damage,

but even with just a partial installation,

Capricorn has made repairs, albeit only a fraction.

Once we've fully installed the remainder, her brain will continue to recover.

Though, of course, your daughter's consciousness

will be completely overwritten in the process.

[Kiril] I see.

[Kyoko] So I have your go-ahead?

You can begin.

As I said, she has little time left anyway.

Good. Spoken like a true company man.

[static crackling]

Hey.

[Talia] Capri.

[Capri] Sorry. You're gonna go bye-bye now.

Well, I guess, technically, you'll become me.

[Talia] Okay.

[Capri] That's all you got to say?

You really are a strange cookie.

Any regrets? Last requests?

[Talia] It's not like I don't, but…

[silence]

-[static crackling] -[Talia] You know, actually…

Kill him for me, will ya?

As gruesome as you can.

For Mom.

Okey-doke!

[low humming]

[Kyoko gasps]

[Capri] Oh, hey, Kyoko.

-[power zapping] -[Kyoko yelps]

[clattering]

[low humming continues]

[power zapping]

[Capri] Mmm. That's better.

[Kiril] Is it safe to remove her restraints?

-[Kyoko] I didn't do that. -[Kiril] What?

-[Capri] Thanks, Kyoko. You're the best. -[quiet music playing]

[Kyoko grunts]

[Kiril gasps]

[Capri] Now I can finally do things my way.

[Kiril] Get back in the chair, Talia. You shouldn't be up.

[Capri laughs]

[gasps] I need backup!

Restrain her!

[guns cock]

-[static crackles] -[man yelps]

-[all grunt] -[Kiril gasps]

[Capri] I was asked to make this as gruesome as possible.

But that doesn't mean it can't be fun too, right?

I'll give you three minutes.

So you better run…

Daddy!

[laughs maniacally]

That's enough!

[clanking]

[crackling]

[low humming]

[Capri] Gonna have to do better than that to stop me.

[shrieks]

-[groans] -[Capri] There, gave you a handicap!

-[Kiril] What the fuck's wrong with you? -[Capri] Oh, nuts!

I gave you the wrong kind of handicap, didn't I? Oopsies!

[Kiril] What're you… [gasps]

-[crunching] -[Kiril screams]

[Capri chuckles delightedly]

I'll give you three minutes.

Better run!

One…

-Two… -[Kiril whimpers]

Three!

[Kyoko shrieks] Capri!

[gasping]

You're alive!

Is it done?

The installation?

[gasps] Is it complete?

[Capri] Why is everyone so obsessed with revenge, anyway?

[Kyoko breathing shakily]

[Capri] Is getting revenge, like, fun?

What are you talking about?

Wait! Capri!

-[zapping] -[shrieks]

[moody electronic music playing]

[Kiril] The subject has escaped.

[gasps] Deploy a team to find and secure her immediately!

[man] Escaped? How did that happen?

[Kiril] You'll get a full report later. Just get a team moving! Now!

[man] Move them where? And just who do…

-Huh? -[Kiril] What is it?

[man] I can see you.

Wha… Huh?

[Capri giggling through screens]

-[static humming] -[Roman] Huh?

Huh?

[static buzzing]

[Omi] What's this?

Just hurry, for God's sake.

-[through screens] Just hurry… -Huh? What?

-[through screens] What? -Uh…

[clanking]

[Capri] Come on, pops. Let's see some bounce in those boots!

[Kiril] Fuck!

[Capri] There you go! That's more like it.

[laughing]

[laughter echoing]

-[moody music playing] -[static buzzing]

Huh?

[Capri laughing]

Talia?

[Omi] Hey.

Yesterday, you asked me what you could have done differently.

You remember?

Honestly, you could've done anything.

You should have done what you wanted.

Followed your own path.

You should have lived your own life, David.

[gasps]

[D] Capri…

[Kiril panting]

[grunts]

[ringing]

[Kiril] Talk to me!

[man] Directive received to capture Capricorn.

A team is en route.

Maintain your current heading. Follow the street.

[Kiril] Understood.
