Original subtitles

Thank you.

I see he was a police officer.

Special services.

Wounded several times in the line of duty.

I'm convicted of

conspiracy to sell and distribute tests.

Heavy user at the time of his arrest.

The court finds you guilty and sentences you to 15 years in cryogenic

incarceration.

Can you say your name?

The year of your incarceration.

Possible residual trauma to the anterior cortex.

Might account for his lack of response.

I'm going to recommend against relief at this time.

Who do you want to

see here? Who do you want to see?

How old is your son?

Eleven. He lost eleven when you underwent cryosubmersion.

He's now 15.

15?

How long was I in?

Four years, three months, and 27 days.

Winger.

Oh, it's just beautiful.

They sent a mech.

Didn't anybody else want the job?

I consider mech an insult.

So do I.

Welcome back, Mr. Carrigan.

Fifteen hundred and forty -nine cash credits.

One for each day of your imprisonment.

Tech burns.

They fly so high on the new junk they overload and cook their neurons.

Since you have successfully completed your sentence, we are confident that you

will never return to the Cryobiotic Penal Institute.

If you have any further questions, feel free to inquire of your re -entry

supervisor.

Yeah, I got a question.

My sentence was 15 years. Why the early release?

Maybe it was for good behavior.

Since when does a mick make jokes?

A lot has changed since you went in.

Proceed.

My family.

They weren't notified, were they?

I don't have any data on that

Some advice, Mr. Cardigan.

You're a cop who sold his badge and got his partners killed.

You'll be watched.

One slip, one contravention of your parole, and it's back inside.

Well, I'd love to sit here and chat with him, Mac, but I got a family I haven't

seen in four years.

But, Mr. Cardigan, no one else would take the job.

Cardigan, Jake.

Kate!

Danny!

Welcome home, Mr. Cardigan.

Daylight, Moe Mary.

Where's Kate?

Catherine is not here at the present time.

Where are they, Mary?

I don't have that information.

There is an incoming personal call for you on Terminal 1.

Hello, Jake. Kate, honey, I'm home. Whenever you get this message, your time

prison will be over.

I don't know if you can understand how difficult it is for me to say.

The trial was very, very hard on Danny.

What are you talking about?

Fifteen years is a long time to wait.

He needed a father.

What are you talking about?

Our divorce was finalized April 2042.

I knew I wouldn't be able to face you, so I made this recording.

We have a new life now.

I'm sorry.

Katie, Katie, Katie, Katie.

You were a good man once.

Damn it!

And I loved you.

The house is in your name. There's 5 ,000 credits in the account.

I don't understand. I don't understand any of this. I know it seems unfair, but

there was no other way.

Danny is growing up to be a fine young man. Take my son away from me.

Goodbye, Jake.

I'm not going to take my son away from me.

Mary, I want to trace that call.

The recording came from the Universal Telecom Message Center. It was

automatically triggered when you passed through security.

Well, find her.

Catherine L. Cardigan.

There is no such domestic listing.

Try internet.

No such global listing.

Display any bit phone messages still on file.

What's real, partner?

I just got word they thawed you out.

Welcome back.

I'm heading over, but I've got some business to take care of. It may take a

while. Anyway, stay put.

And whatever you do, don't hit the streets until we get a chance to talk.

I missed you, man.

And hey, are you still real ugly?

Not as ugly as you.

All other files have been erased.

No ice private line?

One message.

Call was placed by a Mr. Bennett Sands.

I like this.

I miss you, and it's only been ten hours.

I'll be at the office late, so I'll see you at the house.

We have a lot to talk over.

Get him.

Sands Enterprises. Well, give me Sands. Tell him it's Jake Cardigan.

Mr. Sands is not available.

I'll pass on your message.

Come on.

300, right?

If it's clean, you got it. Hey, hey, hey.

Would the winds push dirty credits on its primal source?

Oh, Connaughton.

When they taught you that, now they put it back in the circulation.

Is this your booze for the night?

Come on.

You ain't a cop no more.

I gotta have a nap.

What's zooming?

Well,

you know my motto.

Everything is negotiable.

Except the price.

Maybe take a little stroll in Matrix.

Later. Yeah.

It's gonna cost.

Meet Wildside.

With? King of the Cyberjocks.

300 missions and he has not fried a synapse.

Yet.

Jake, what's real?

IRS giving you constipation?

You want a new credit line?

Yesterday, tech junkie wanted me to bust Old City Hall so he could change his

father's will. And today, he's a rich man, thanks to the Wildside.

Simple trace.

Two names.

Well, if it's so simple, why are you here?

200 each.

Half now, half on contact.

Meet Cowgirl, the best jock in the biz.

Howdy. Next to me.

Uh, you want the woman first?

Yes.

Cowgirl, start your end.

I'm on the commercial net, right where she last logged off.

There ain't no trace of her last online.

I have to pop up to the next level.

We're in.

She was here, but her track's been covered.

All I'm getting are ether trails and noise. Nothing leads anywhere.

Cowgirl is the lead bandit, and Wildside is watching her back. If someone tries

to sneak up on her, he will see.

This is useless.

I'm going to try and breach the ultra -secure nexus.

Hang on tight. This is going to throw up security flags everywhere.

Itty's left the back door wide open.

All I'm getting are infinite loops and soft conditionals. Son of a bitch,

mister.

Someone's gone through a whole lot of trouble to mask her out.

Halt the X -12.

Move it, call guard. I'm covering your butt.

The hell was that? Glowback. They fight a core.

Wild side, fly it.

That's the way of making the jocks pay a price.

If she's lucky, she's only scorched a few brain cells.

Wild side.

They're on me.

Forget the chick before we torch the whole unit. Take your money back, man.

Double the credits for the boy. Double.

Okay, go.

Contact. Two intercept messages transmitted from Bahrain.

Another from Malaysia.

What's wrong?

He's offering the education then.

I'll never make it.

I can't make it!

Holy simoleons, what the...

They've locked

me in with a random noise generator.

I'm trapped!

Shall we help them?

Mr. Ryoso, it's like somebody waved a magic wand and cut a bullion channel for

me to get in.

Nailed it.

Nautilus 2000, Marine Biological School.

500 to put me through.

Uh -uh. Hollow will cost you a grand.

Uh, y 'all better grease it. The cyberposse's got us sent.

They spawned a triangulation search procedure. Let's go.

Move it, move it. I only have a minute.

Is that really you?

It's me, son.

But they said I was getting a call from Mom.

Wait a second, Jake.

All right, never mind that right now. We don't have much time.

God, you've grown up.

I miss so much of your life.

What's the matter?

Why'd you do it?

Do you know how many kids at school I fought and said you were guilty?

I saw the recordings of you doing all those things.

Oh, no.

They were fixed. You got to believe that, son.

You broke your word to people who trusted you.

Your partners died because of you. Jake, ten seconds.

Listen, son, I've got to see it.

I can't see you, Dad.

I just can't.

I love you, son.

Please, Dad, stay away.

Annie, Annie.

That's it, man.

Come on, we've got to evaporate!

The court finds you guilty and sentences you to 15 years in cryogenic

incarceration.

Baby don't

I'm sorry about that stupid message.

Would you forgive me?

You're here now.

That's all I said.

I missed you so much.

I think it cuts your hair. You look so beautiful.

Then he missed you, too.

You know... I know something.

Before you came in, you know, I almost did.

I know.

I know, Jake.

From now on, we're gonna be in this together, whatever comes.

I love you so much.

I'll never leave.

Never.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

I put my butt in the line for you, man. Don't do this to me.

Hello, Chucky.

Oh, yeah?

Where are you acting like one?

I was just losing Kate.

Danny. So tap the answer.

You've got to face the pain, Jake.

There's no easy way out.

I know.

Because if you can't stay clean, we part company right now.

Hang on, though, Johnson.

I'm telling you.

It was so real.

She was there. I could touch her.

Jake, since you've been on ice, they put out Newell.

More powerful tech.

Not like the stuff we used to use when we were undercover trying to impress the

dealers. This junk is major.

You do enough of it, sooner or later, you don't come back.

It's okay.

I'm proud of you.

Life really stinks.

So what else is new?

straight in my head, Sid.

I see little bits, voices, faces,

but I can't put it together so it makes any sense.

You know, we never talked about it.

You mean, do I think you sold out to the tech lord?

We never talked about it. I'm here on that.

Everything's changed a lot, Sid.

When I was downtown this afternoon, I hardly recognize anything.

It's a radical world out there.

Since when does a two -bit cop have the kind of juice it takes to get me sprung

from the freezer? Since I quit the force, I went to work for Cosmos.

Cosmos? Top personal security force in the world.

Oh, yeah?

A guy named Baskin runs it.

Some kind of behind -the -scenes player with the Yamaguchi administration.

That's the guy that brokered the deal to make Cuba the 53rd state.

If anyone can help clear your name and get your family back, it's possible.

They brought us a guy like that one for me.

Why don't you catch a few hours sleep?

We'll go ask him.

Sleep.

Jake Curtis, Walt Baskin, my assistant central.

Thanks for springing me.

The question is why?

Fair question, simple answer.

I thought we could be of help to him.

What kind of help?

You first.

Jake, if there was something more I could do for you, what would that be?

Help me clear my name.

It's a tall order.

but worth the effort for an innocent man.

And what do I do for you?

Top investigators are hard to come by. By all reports, you were the best. At

least second best.

You come to work for me on a trial basis, and if you're as good as they say

are, you'll get a contract.

And I'll put whatever limited resources I have at my disposal in your case.

Single malt, branch water. Did I get it right?

you know about me.

Everything.

Sandra, let's see what you have.

Dr. Leon Kittredge, research fellow at the Cybernetic Institute.

Missing without a trace for seven days.

Cosmos represents the insurance company that holds the policy on the professor's

life.

Kittredge was working in the fiercely competitive field of advanced laser

imaging, so industrial espionage is always a possibility.

There's defection to the competition.

Who had last contact with Kittredge?

Dr. Hilden Dannenberg, an associate of the professors at the Institute.

This came in early this morning.

Mr. Bascom, I need to see you right away.

It's about the disappearance of Leon Kittredge.

I'll send my driver immediately. No, don't. I'm being watched.

I'll let you know where and when.

The where and when came by secure confacts just moments ago.

As far as this case is concerned, I take it you and Gomez have renewed your

partnership? I can take it.

He can.

Let's face it, you're lost without me.

A concession to your parole restrictions.

The latest in plasma propellant.

Technically non -lethal.

Simple missing person case, huh?

I'll expect a report in the morning.

Why did you lie to him?

Did I?

You said you knew everything about him.

You don't know if he's innocent or guilty.

No one knows that.

Not even Jake Cardigan.

Why are my partners all dead?

I'm still alive.

They were killed with my gun.

You didn't do it. I'd take my life on that. Hey, the bottom line is they're

dead, and I'm still here wondering if I'm the one that blew them away.

The last thing I remember is sitting up the bus.

Yeah, we were this close to exposing Hooker's entire cash laundering network.

We had him nailed.

That entire night was a screw -up.

Why was that called a backup?

You know, someone went through a lot of trouble to set me up, and they could

have just blown me away, just like they did the others. I figured, oh, Corey,

who wanted you to take the fall?

Yeah.

Listen, there was someone who was trying to divert attention.

Someone inside the organization?

One of our guys?

Hey, whoever set it up, they had to know the whole scam.

Check it, boy.

That decrease might have frozen all your brain cells.

right on time.

I'll go get her.

You look like hell.

When I saw you shoot that flower girl, I thought you lost it.

Called kamikaze.

A little wrinkle the Teclos came up with during the Kyoto gang wars two years

ago. Programmed to eliminate their designated target.

I mean, this kid is. The target was also an android.

Tannenberg was, wasn't it?

Yeah. You almost brought it over a bucket of nuts and bolts, pal.

You gotta tell me what's going on.

Give it to me straight.

Boscombe will give you the details.

Watch him.

Sometimes, it will be the game.

Another miraculous escape, Cardigan?

Maybe he had another lapse of memory.

Well, if it isn't a tin man and a little Dorothy.

Still the funny guy, Cardigan.

Well, I wasn't laughing when they brought him up as left of your partners.

I knew those kids.

They were good cops.

Yeah, I knew them too, Winterfield.

I lived with them for two years.

Put that case together.

They were like family.

Yeah, of course, your record with family speaks for itself.

But spare me the innocent act, will you?

I saw the recordings of you depositing tech credits in all those Honduran

accounts. It can be altered.

The experts were unanimous. No digital manipulation occurred.

You sold out to Sonny Okori and the tech lords, and I am personally going to put

you back on ice. I'd like to know why you pulled that backup team off. We had

officer under fire. Yeah, you want to know what I think? What? I think maybe

you're on Okori's payroll. Yeah, well, we went through all that during the

trial, but you don't remember, do you? You were still coming down from your

OD. Stop dreaming, Jake.

I play by the rules.

Let's start a band.

I don't like being lied to, Bascom.

Now, what the hell do the tech lords and the kamikaze androids have to do with a

routine insurance case?

I was waiting to see how long it would take the real Jake Cardigan to thaw out

the center.

Professor Kittredge has developed a device that will destroy the circuits of

the tech chips everywhere in the world.

This is a simulation of that transmitting crystal based on our best

It can't be done.

Assume for the moment it can be. You can see how that would make Kittredge.

target for the technology.

We do have evidence the professor was attempting to flee into the wilderness

belt to avoid his own assassination.

The rebel movement there is known to be in sympathy with the war against tech.

The vehicle's security systems were breached by laser attack and signs of

struggle were found inside along with the professor's prints.

Less than 24 hours after the professor was last seen, Beth Kittredge, The

professor's daughter filed a flight report that would have taken her over

same forest where her father's car was found.

We assume her intention was to join him.

Satellite surveillance has confirmed that a craft meeting the description of

Miss Kittredge's landed in Rebel Hill territory.

Can I get a better look at the daughter?

You still with us, Carnegie?

Beth's journey into the wilderness area, hot in the heels of her father,

suggests they were seeking sanctuary with the rebel movement. Let me guess

this is going.

Warbride.

What's my name?

Rumor has it, back in the early days of the movement, before it turned violent,

Who are allies, friends, even bedroll partners.

Why didn't you tell me this up front?

You were to be kept in the dark until I decided you should be trusted.

Sit out the equation.

I have to take the chance.

Looking for two people in that terrain is a hopeless task, even for an agency

with our resources.

Warbride is our only hope.

Oh, she cares about saving that wilderness.

She thinks bastards like you are the enemy.

But it's your job. to persuade her to help us. You want to know what I think?

There's something going on in that devious brain of yours that has nothing

with saving this world from the patch. No, no, Jake.

You should learn to be more appreciative. Gratitude doesn't come

about trust?

Trust is a two -way street.

Cardigan!

I took you out of the freezer.

I could put you back in.

And you would too, wouldn't you?

Who popped could take out a 90 -pound flower girl.

Welcome back.

Been too long.

McCorry?

The one and only.

What do you want, Sonny?

We have some unfinished business, Jake.

I don't do business with Tech Lord.

Jake!

Jake!

Jake!

Of course you do.

Everybody deals with us whether they know it or not.

Don't you remember the last time you were here?

Why don't you come down here and we can talk about it?

You don't remember, do you?

One tech trip too many, Jake? Why don't you refresh my memory?

This is where you killed your partners. Right where you're standing.

How would you know that, you son of a bitch?

You were selling us tech, you confiscated it on the street.

Your partners discovered what you're up to, so you killed them to save yourself

and your friends. You're treacherous. Why would I lie to you, Jake?

We're the same, you and I.

We both deal with the weak and needy.

You know how it works, Jake.

You either take it or you get punked.

High definition hologram. Thank you. You've been in a prison too long.

Go to hell.

Should have stayed in the freezer, my friend.

At least you don't feel the pain.

It was acceptable, even useful to my people when you were inside.

Now you're out poking around where you don't belong.

Feed first.

Take your time.

Have fun with it.

By the way, Jake, Bennett Stan says your wife's the best.

Hey, those guns are useless.

I'll be dead.

Another time, Jake.

Take it soon, sonny boy.

I told you the pulse gun would work. Just gotta know how to adjust it.

He said he saw me kill him.

I have to find out what happened that night.

Trust me, Jake. You couldn't kill him.

I have to know.

You want the truth?

Whatever it is?

Then do what Baskin wants.

Find Kidfish.

in the freezer.

You check in on Kate?

At first, when you were on ice, she was real broken up, but she kept herself

busy with a job in Danny's school.

I bet she was busy.

Started dating her boss, Bennett Sands.

You found out?

What, you knew?

What, you're holding out on me, too? Hey, look.

I just heard some things, you know?

And after that, we kind of lost touch.

I gotta find her.

I gotta talk to her.

I just can't believe it's over.

I'll call some favors.

See what I can find out.

Hey, you ever hear of any connection between Sonny Okori and Bennett Sands?

Think like an unlikely match in the face of it. Sands is a legitimate

businessman.

Whatever that's worth.

I just heard a few stories.

Uh -uh.

Just because Kate's taken up with him doesn't mean he's in bed with a tech law

like Okori. Check it out anyway.

Jake, what's real and what's not isn't always easy to figure.

Be careful, Bart.

Dr. Danenberg has arrived.

There's a palm print checkout.

All right, put her out on the deck. I'll be right out.

Who the hell are you?

Dr. Hilda Danenberg.

Dannenberg's old enough to be your mother.

Hell, she's old enough to be my mother.

Why don't you start ticking on me?

Plant you out there with the lake trout.

You can put that away.

I'm the real Hilda Dannenberg.

The last time I had a date with somebody named Dannenberg, they went all to

pieces on me.

I don't move.

Well, beaut job they did on you, didn't they?

Complete with synthetic glandular extract.

The procedure's experimental.

Sane, maybe, but I have an even more legitimate reason to change my looks.

People keep trying to kill me.

I know the feeling.

That's why I sent my team to the park to meet you.

You have some information on Kittredge and his daughter?

Yes, I have.

Can we go inside?

Too much sun will damage my new skin.

Be my guest.

Professor Kittredge and I were much more than colleagues.

These scientists have all the fun.

It lasted little more than a year before he lost interest.

Who was she? A 23 -year -old graduate student who didn't even know how to

an algorithm, let alone how to be a sole companion to a man of Leon's genius.

What about this tech killer crystal? Is it possible?

It's more than possible.

Can you make a tie, Mangus Dinkalata?

I think so.

A little alcohol can't hurt the skin. Do you think?

Leon had already produced a working prototype before it disappeared.

How's this thing supposed to work?

In layman's terms, it bounces a beam off a satellite, setting up oscillations

calibrated to destroy the cellular structure of the tech chip itself.

I'd hate to hear the scientific version.

And you won't believe who paid to fund for the research.

Try me.

A dummy corporation fronting for a tech lord.

Sonny O 'Curry.

Why would Okori want to finance an invention that would destroy his own

Okori had Leon simultaneously developing tech chips designed to have complete

immunity to the crystal.

All right, let me get this straight.

Now, once this crystal is activated, all tech is wiped out by these oscillating

waves. Totally.

Except for Okori's tech, which is immune.

So he's got a corner on the market.

Brilliant, don't you think?

A great scientific achievement.

Intended for the betterment of all mankind.

Turned to evil out of greed.

You helped him to develop the crystal, didn't you?

I helped him in everything he did.

Can you turn his back on you?

That's a good reason to want him dead.

No, I wouldn't.

I couldn't.

I love him.

Isn't that insane?

He dumped me and... I still care.

You know where he is, don't you?

Possibly.

Is this line secured?

Affirmative.

According to Dannenberg, Kittredge has a private lab where he's been developing

all his experiments.

Basket scramble is too good.

Lock on Cardigan's transmission.

It's a long shot, but the only lead we've got.

Cardigan, don't go in there without a backup.

Looks like we're breaking up.

All systems are now operational.

Access last data entry.

Project XB309.

Final phase.

My system is currently dormant.

If you wish to complete physical activation, enter code 7 -4 on main

control.

Adjust power level control to 30 .514%.

Then push second button to the right. Mark.

Stand clear.

Jake Cardigan.

I've been looking for Beth Kittredge.

I'm Beth.

Hell, you are.

You're a mech.

I'm an android.

A level 10.

At least.

My files contain Beth Kittredge's memory.

And to the extent that I'm capable of human feeling, I have her emotion.

Any idea where Beth or the professor are now?

What's up?

You're not waiting around to find out.

I had the same reaction myself.

When

was

the last time you saw Kitcher?

My update sent it three weeks ago.

He intended to complete my memory circuit, but he never showed up at the

He disappeared into the wilderness belt with his daughter.

I'll help you find her.

Why?

Because that is why I exist.

For the safety of Beth Kittredge.

How can I help you?

Well, you can start by telling me everything you know about Beth and her

father's work and Sonny Okori.

Sonny Okori?

I don't recognize that name.

How about Bennett Sand?

Nothing.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

If Beth and her father disappeared in the wilderness belt, then why don't we

just go there and find them?

Because the whole territory is controlled by rebel forces. We never get

without an invitation.

I think I need to pay my respects to an old girlfriend of mine.

In recent months, the radical environmental movement, led by the

charismatic figure known only as Warbride, Do you mind if I ask what you

from Warbrite?

Yeah, I mind.

Wouldn't have anything to do with your travels, would that?

I got a hunch this story could go national, even world net.

A missing techno -genius vanished under suspicious circumstances. The beautiful

daughter traveling with a rogue ex -cop recently released from the freezer. Oh,

we're talking headline news here. You're a real vid -vampire, Suarez.

Tell you what, I'll guarantee you an exclusion if one of your contacts comes

through with a connection to Warbrite.

Well, what can I tell you, Jake? I'm a sentimental guy.

For all the leads you gave me when I was a punk reporter and you were the only

clean cop on the zone, did I owe you?

Call me.

Do you mind if I take a shower?

Andrew is making jokes, taking showers.

Next thing, we'll have you take a music appreciation class.

Well, I'm a level 10. My derma sheet needs regular maintenance, like

skin. Well, hats off to science.

Well, don't take too long.

The cops are going to be looking for us, and we've got to leave as soon as

Dwyer's calls.

Shower.

I'm curious, Jake.

And she's curious.

Yes. What does Sonny Hikori have to do with Beth?

He's a tech lord who financed Kitchage's research.

And do you have some special interest in Bennett's son?

My wife used to work for him.

Is there something you're not telling me that I should know more about?

You're a machine.

There's things you'll never understand, no matter how much data the professor

pumped into your circuits.

Don't underestimate my capacity for human emotion.

Would you come in and wash my back?

Don't underestimate my capacity for human emotions.

Jay, I just had a conversation with someone very close to the top of the

movement. War brides agree to meet with you.

Alone.

You stay here.

No.

They said come alone.

Jay? Is that you?

You're not playing hide and seek, are you?

Here I am.

Come right up, Jake.

I'm at the top of the stairs.

Here I am.

Sorry to disappoint you, Jake.

Vargas?

I'm flattered you remember.

Warbride couldn't be here.

So a digital voice mask was the next best thing.

Since when did she send a mess boy for standing?

You've been away a long time, Jake.

I'm a general now.

I call the shots here.

Warbride's not going to like this.

Warbride's history.

Sonny Hikori is the future.

Are you a sports fan, Cardigan?

I don't have time to play games right now.

Sure you do.

A little relaxation never killed anybody.

Vargas?

Thank you.

Are you going to take me to war, Brian?

typical girl next door not just freedom for themselves

but for all the people of the earth because they oppose the ruthless robber

his way to assassinate you. Why don't you tell her about your connection with

Sonia Corey?

He's the one that belongs to the tech lords, not me.

Things are never simple with you, Jake.

Tell me about it.

Hold him in his quarters till I have a chance to question him.

It's been a long time.

What can I do for you, Jake?

Kittredge.

Whoever ambushed the car got him out before my men could respond.

Yeah, I'd lay bets it was Vargas.

What about the daughter?

Her helivan landed in this valley.

Your androids are good, Sim.

How'd you know she's a sin?

Because the real Beth Kittredge is dead.

Vargas and his men caught her snooping around the crash site and brought her to

me.

After I convinced her I had nothing to do with her father's disappearance, she

asked me if I'd help her track down Sonny Hikori and kill him.

I told her the Tech Lord's battle was for another day, but I promised I'd get

her safe passage out of here.

Someone got a hold of her flight path and shot her out of the sky.

And you're positive the van went down?

I thought of my monitor.

Somebody in my own camp betrayed me.

And her.

And after today, I got a pretty good idea who it was.

She had courage, Jake.

You would have liked her.

Well, I'm going to go and have a little talk with Bart.

But that's gone.

I can tell you now.

The professor blocked certain memory circuits, which I couldn't access for

rest of my life.

There might be something in there that you need to know.

That we both need to know.

There is a way that I can reactivate the file.

With your help.

I'm not sure this is such a hard idea.

I'm not afraid.

You know what fear is?

Turn it up.

Now I see.

I'm Beth.

When I was a student, I met a man.

His name was Sonny Acori.

Did you love him?

Yes.

No.

I don't know. I was infatuated.

From the beginning, it was his way to get closer to my father.

Sonny offered him unlimited funds for his research.

And my father's ambition blinded him to the truth.

When I discovered...

My father was being used to develop even more powerful forms of tech.

I decided to confront Sonny.

I followed him.

I had some crazy idea that I could either force him to let go of my father

or I'd kill him.

He entered an old factory.

I went in after.

There's someone else there.

Not one of Sonny's men.

They're giving him your gun.

No.

The gun.

Do you recognize the man?

I can't see his face.

They gave you an overdose of tech.

They just left you there for a slow tech burnout.

They were going to destroy your mind.

You're like a zombie when I led you to the park to call for medevac.

that I could never break Sonny's hold of my father, so I decided to run away,

hoping I could just forget it all.

When I returned last summer, my father was making a crystal that would make

Sonny Hikori the most powerful tech lord.

I convinced him that what he was doing was terribly wrong and that he had to

stop.

He agreed to escape with me to rebel territory.

That's all I can remember.

Everything else is just darkness until I... Until I saw you.

Are you okay?

You saved my life.

Beth.

That's why you're in my dreams.

What does it mean to be in love?

It's when someone else's life means more than your own.

Jake!

You were right. Vargas was a traitor.

We found the proof when we searched him. Here, take a look. I think you're going

to find this interesting.

I got your message.

Under no circumstances is Cardigan to meet with Warbride.

I don't care how you do it, Vargas.

Just do it.

Freeze it.

Now remove our friend, the Corey.

And fill it in.

I think I know that building.

It's in the free zone.

Sandra, compare the background to the schematics we have of the zone.

That's it.

The coordinates are 43 degrees, 8 minutes north, 79 degrees, 43 minutes

I'll make it easy for you.

That's the Holy Spirit.

See?

Good to see you.

Meet L -10.

L -10, this is my partner, Sidney Gomez.

Hello, L -10. Nice name.

Good to meet you.

I think we just found a Corey.

So what are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Hold on, Jake. There's an incoming message for you.

Somebody wants to meet with you right away.

Has to wait.

I think you'll want to have this meeting.

Now.

I'm well, and you?

We'll be, you know, we'll be out in the back.

Back.

You look good,

Kate.

So do you.

Good life agrees with you.

I don't want to get into this with you.

I came to tell you two things.

I want you to stay away from Danny.

Stay away?

He's my son. You shouldn't have called him.

He was so upset I had to take him out of school.

Where is he?

In a safe place.

You know I'm going to find him, Kate.

I'm sorry things have turned out like this.

You know, I joked about you the whole time I was in there.

You can't imagine what we went through.

The stories, the rumors.

Yeah, it's just what they were, too.

Rumors.

We could start all over again.

No, it's too late, Jake. What do you mean? It's not too late. Jake, please

don't. Don't what?

What am I supposed to do? Just stop loving you?

Just give up on my son?

Sands, isn't he?

Don't do this, Jake.

He's a good man. He was there when we needed him.

You ever wonder where his money comes from?

What are you saying?

Oh, come on, Kate.

He's dirty.

You're wrong.

It was Bennett who told me to warn you.

He hears things. He has sources.

If you don't back off, the tech lords will kill you.

Sands tell you that?

Or Sonny Hakori?

Hakori?

Bennett has nothing to do with him.

I'll PPU it.

You haven't changed a bit.

You have.

Jake?

I was thinking.

After we find the professor, I could easily be reprogrammed.

For what?

So I could stay with you.

I could keep on working and be your partner.

L -10, Sid is my partner.

But you're a hell of a lot easier to look at.

Maybe we could both use the extra help. I'll see how much pull I've got with

Baskin.

That's my son.

Jake. Nicole.

Jake.

I love you.

Are you okay?

I want to, Corey.

Ten meters further north.

Keep going.

A little further.

Now, turn right and walk forward. The entrance should be right there in front

you.

I hate to disappoint you.

The only thing in front of us is a 60 -foot drop to the water. Could you check

your coordinates again, please?

The center doesn't make mistakes, gentlemen.

The entrance has to be there.

That's you, bud.

I don't think so. I just got out of the hospital.

Technology before you.

We're in.

Apologies accepted.

We only have a 15 second margin of error, gentlemen. Put your masks on.

I'll be damned.

I'll be darned.

What's the deal if your new toy goes on the blank wall or inside?

Fall back to plant B.

What the hell's plant B?

He's always got a plant B.

Got a hand -printed ID coming up asking you to copy that.

Keep going. We've got you covered.

Good evening, Mr. Hukari. I didn't see you go up.

I'm in. We're going to bypass the scan.

Take up the moon.

Stall. Stall.

Use the piece.

Hold it, Cartman.

If your prints don't match up with Hukari's, we'll counterattack with 10

volts. Great. Now you tell me.

We've got a motor basket. I need another 20 seconds.

Don't have it. Now or never.

Go ahead.

What the hell?

Now what?

Put a trace on Kicking's computer.

Already working on it.

The northeast corner, one level up.

Attention all quarters. Attention all quarters.

Code three alert.

Water four.

All systems red. We have intruders in the compound.

Arms. Subdued at all costs. Repeat.

Subdued at all costs.

Professor Kittredge, who are you?

We're the good guys. Get out of here.

When I heard the guns and the alarms, I didn't dare to hope.

Yes, through Okori's living quarters.

We don't have any other way. Is that the crystal?

Yes. Is it operational?

It is now.

I've been delaying my research.

Okori is to protect.

I hope we're finding some way out of here.

Did Beth send you?

Is she all right?

Let's go. Let's go, Mel. Why don't you tell him what happened to her, Jake?

Half the bed.

It couldn't be helped, Leon.

Kill them.

It's the IDCA.

I guess this is plan B.

Stay with Kittredge.

The quarry's mine.

We haven't got all night, man. No, no, you got to do it.

You've got the opportunity.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

All I have to do. Kill me, man.

Let's figure out what the real Corey do.

Come on.

On what charge? We just gave you the biggest fuck of your career.

What's real, Sonny?

It's my case and all the evidence is under my jurisdiction.

Then take it.

Cardigan, stop.

You're under arrest.

Something you don't know about Jay. He has problems taking orders.

We all follow orders, Mr. Gomez.

One way or another.

Stop.

So you're one of Hakori's now.

I thought you were dead.

That was my intention.

But I'm very much alive and I intend to stay that way.

Give me the crystal.

You saved my life. Why would I want to hurt you?

I know what they can do to someone with enough time and with enough tech.

For the same reason you are, Beth.

To get rid of tech.

I don't believe you.

Where?

I'll handle it.

I'm just doing my job.

Servant of the people.

Voice.

My job.

Servant of the people.

Put it down, miss.

Take it to me.

Who's there?

That night, the man in the shadows with the gun.

Put the crystal down and step away.

I don't really want to have to kill her.

Slowly.

Very slowly.

I thought Ains Roger the perfect cop swagger.

Unemotional.

Rational to a fault.

Zero tolerance to defects.

There's one problem with perfection.

It's boring as hell.

You can't terminate me by memory vines. You need me if you want to clear your

name.

No, he doesn't.

I was there too.

It wasn't Okori, Jake.

Now you'll never know who reprogrammed my circuit.

Who was?

Too late, Jake.

You'll have to guess.

You're safe now.

I want to believe you, but I don't know you.

It's all right.

I know you.

I know what they mean.

I'm walking in the wasteland.

With a ghost in the machine.

There's a simulated sunset.

And starlight in my eyes.

The skies are filled with miracles.

And half of them alive.

Are you real or not? It's a fine line.

Are you ready or not?

For the light of day.

Are you real or not?

These are strange times And I don't want to live this way

When you wake up from a nightmare And it's

worse when you're awake And there's no one you can turn to

And there's nothing you can take You better ask yourself Are you real or not?

It's a fine night.

Are you ready or not for the light of day?

Are you being or not? These are strange times and I don't want to live this way.
