1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:05,799
No sane solution to the tech problem is
possible until we address it with

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,400
education and rehabilitation.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,980
I want to help heal this community, to
bring us all together.

4
00:01:10,259 --> 00:01:11,660
Thank you.

5
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:40,070
You're dead.

6
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:42,870
No.

7
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,410
No, it's your security system that's
dead, Mr. Avery.

8
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,100
Really? Not if I'd had a real gun.

9
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Dad, Jake did what I asked him to do. He
proved you need better security.

10
00:01:54,460 --> 00:01:57,980
All he proved to me was that perhaps I
should get a permit to carry a gun.

11
00:01:57,981 --> 00:02:00,999
With all due respect, sir, I think your
daughter's right.

12
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,999
You're an extremely controversial
candidate, and you've been receiving

13
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,050
threats for weeks.

14
00:02:05,051 --> 00:02:08,489
Love letters from Cranks, Miss Houston.
Part and parcel of politics.

15
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:11,189
Well, that's what happens to a mayor
when he gets bounced out of office for

16
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:12,049
using tech.

17
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:14,850
Dad paid his debt. Six years' cold time.

18
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:18,710
Yeah. Then he gets out of the freezer.
What does he do? He runs for mayor.

19
00:02:18,850 --> 00:02:20,530
Again. Like nothing ever happened.

20
00:02:20,531 --> 00:02:22,829
Access the dictionary. Look on their
goal.

21
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:24,889
I think you'll see a picture of your
father. Hey, just wait a minute. It's

22
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:25,669
right, Gwen.

23
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:28,860
He's just saying what the opposition has
been saying all along.

24
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:31,710
Only Mr. Cardigan has the guts to say it
to my face.

25
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,740
But that still doesn't mean I need his
help.

26
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:36,450
You need somebody's help.

27
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,580
Full audio and visual.

28
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:46,020
Top of the line.

29
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:48,380
Looks like you're right.

30
00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:55,120
You don't have a security problem. In
fact, you've got no security at all.

31
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,850
Can't you put somebody else on the Avery
case?

32
00:04:06,851 --> 00:04:08,519
I'm afraid that's not an option. Why
not?

33
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,499
I'm convinced you're the man for the
job. Well, I'm not convinced. I am, and

34
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:12,550
pay your salary.

35
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:14,030
Look,

36
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Avery doesn't even want our help.

37
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:17,780
He's uncontrollable.

38
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:21,838
Exactly why his daughter hired Cosmos.
And if you ask me, I think it was a good

39
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,489
idea. You know, there's no way this
guy's going to win.

40
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:26,320
He's ten points behind in the polls.

41
00:04:26,321 --> 00:04:28,099
That doesn't mean he doesn't need
protection.

42
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:31,059
You yourself found the surveillance
device in the man's office.

43
00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:32,809
Come on, I'll level with me, will you?

44
00:04:32,810 --> 00:04:34,250
What's really going on here?

45
00:04:35,310 --> 00:04:37,250
You think I have an ulterior motive.

46
00:04:37,530 --> 00:04:38,580
Well, you usually do.

47
00:04:39,130 --> 00:04:40,180
True.

48
00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:41,990
But it's none of your business.

49
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:44,210
Besides, Avery's a paying client.

50
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:46,480
Yeah, he's also a tech head. Ex -tech
head.

51
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:48,270
I mean, he'll be dirty.

52
00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:49,910
I think he's reformed.

53
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:51,200
Based on what?

54
00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:55,529
The concept is called benefit of the
doubt, if I'm not mistaken. It's the

55
00:04:55,530 --> 00:04:59,709
concept I once applied to you. Nobody
just walks away from tech. It's not that

56
00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:02,450
easy. Avery spent six years in the
freezer.

57
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:03,720
Lost everything.

58
00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:05,810
Now he's starting over.

59
00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:10,110
With half the city hating his guts,
doesn't sound easy to me.

60
00:05:19,330 --> 00:05:20,380
That's it. Thanks.

61
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:25,670
Double locks on every entrance. With
twin backups.

62
00:05:25,671 --> 00:05:27,069
And codes?

63
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:29,110
Only. What about holographic detection?

64
00:05:29,111 --> 00:05:31,929
Do you really think there could be
somebody out there as clever as Jack

65
00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:32,980
Cardigan?

66
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:34,380
Gee, I don't know.

67
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:37,030
I'll order the new detectors now. Good.

68
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:41,210
I'm really grateful you took the case,
Mr. Cardigan.

69
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:44,260
Well, Walter Baskin wouldn't have it any
other way.

70
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:46,730
His election is very important to my
father.

71
00:05:47,210 --> 00:05:49,260
I bet she's pretty important to you,
too.

72
00:05:50,370 --> 00:05:51,420
You'd be surprised.

73
00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:57,430
Well, I was growing up. Dad was a
missing person.

74
00:05:58,830 --> 00:06:01,730
When he was a cop, he spent 20 hours a
day on patrol.

75
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,870
When he was mayor, he lived in his
office.

76
00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:08,930
And then there was tech.

77
00:06:11,630 --> 00:06:12,680
Hey, Gwen.

78
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:17,450
Last night... Hey, you said the same
things a lot of other people are saying.

79
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:21,010
The truth is, Frank Avery would make a
fine mayor.

80
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:26,409
And if the voters don't want to give him
a second chance, they don't deserve

81
00:06:26,410 --> 00:06:28,220
him. Excuse me, Jake.

82
00:06:28,820 --> 00:06:31,650
There's a problem with the new vertical
matrix scanner.

83
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,460
Uh, duty calls.

84
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,770
Excuse me.

85
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:45,039
I wasn't trying to pry. I was writing a
routine scan looking for hack tracks,

86
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,090
just like you told me.

87
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:47,860
And? And some data.

88
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,180
Well, it just sort of popped up.

89
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,690
Oh, boy.

90
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,410
Huh.

91
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:56,190
Where's Avery now?

92
00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:59,510
Set central bid rehearsing for his next
debate with Brackett.

93
00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:02,330
Looks like we're going to have our first
lover spat.

94
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:04,380
Don't be too catty, Jake.

95
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,939
My opponent's idea of getting tough on
crime seems to be longer suspended

96
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,160
sentences and more permissiveness.

97
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,570
Something which every study has shown to
be at the root of our current problems.

98
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:45,299
In this debate, Mr. Avery will
undoubtedly tell you about his plans for

99
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:46,350
the same.

100
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,040
I'll tell you about a program that
works.

101
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:52,080
Very impressive, Mr. Brackett.

102
00:07:52,081 --> 00:07:56,139
But you are aware that you're allowed a
full five minutes for your opening

103
00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:57,190
statement.

104
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:01,100
I've said what I need to say, but I do
want more reverb.

105
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,379
Deepen the bait and make sure your color
balance is accurate. This suit is

106
00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:06,740
black, not blue, black.

107
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:09,530
I'll speak to it before tonight's
debate.

108
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,860
Whenever you're ready, Mr. Avery.

109
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:19,390
Sure.

110
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,340
Go get him, Mr. Soon -to -be Mayor.

111
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,900
Thank you, Ms. Soon -to -be Vice Mayor.

112
00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:29,170
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

113
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:32,270
I'm not going to make any promises that
I can't keep.

114
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:36,270
I've come here to ask you to let me have
a second chance.

115
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:39,990
Excuse me, Mr. Avery. We seem to have a
technical problem.

116
00:08:39,991 --> 00:08:42,029
Your hollow elements haven't arrived.

117
00:08:42,030 --> 00:08:44,200
I don't have any hollow elements,
Rebecca.

118
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:45,670
It's just me.

119
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:49,820
I want to talk about tech and how we can
beat it. There are no fancy gizmos.

120
00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:56,310
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

121
00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:59,490
I'm not going to make any promises that
I can't keep.

122
00:08:59,790 --> 00:09:03,530
Your running mate's man of the pure
routine might have worked eight years

123
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:05,070
but these are the 40s.

124
00:09:05,770 --> 00:09:07,710
You're taller than I remember, Kyle.

125
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:09,280
Shin implants?

126
00:09:10,990 --> 00:09:16,230
Research indicates that the ideal height
for a politician is 186 centimeters.

127
00:09:16,370 --> 00:09:19,440
And I guess these days voters like
candidates with blue eyes.

128
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:21,790
Are those corneal implants?

129
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:26,170
Debate. like all politics, are about
image.

130
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,890
Have been since before Nixon -Kennedy.

131
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:32,430
You know, I voted for Avery the first
time.

132
00:09:33,370 --> 00:09:35,330
I really feel sorry for him.

133
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:36,710
It's not over yet, Kyle.

134
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:40,300
You know, you'd make one hell of a vice
mayor.

135
00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:42,470
Ever think about switching parties?

136
00:09:45,370 --> 00:09:47,130
Faith and trust, Vivian.

137
00:09:51,371 --> 00:09:55,979
How was it? Everything all right? You
were great.

138
00:09:55,980 --> 00:09:57,030
Good.

139
00:09:57,140 --> 00:09:59,280
What did my young opponent have to say?

140
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:00,870
Nothing much.

141
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,150
Good.

142
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,440
Because I've got plenty.

143
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,120
I'm going to go make a vid call.

144
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,450
Okay.

145
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,740
Make it brief, Mr. Cardigan, okay?

146
00:10:10,940 --> 00:10:13,110
I don't have much time for cops and
robbers.

147
00:10:13,111 --> 00:10:16,339
Yeah, but you sure do have that robber
part down pretty good, don't you?

148
00:10:16,340 --> 00:10:17,720
What are you talking about?

149
00:10:17,721 --> 00:10:21,919
One of my operatives has fumbled across
some pretty interesting information on

150
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:22,959
your database.

151
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,280
What kind of information?

152
00:10:24,281 --> 00:10:28,779
Donations from shell corporations,
controlled by interlocking stewardships.

153
00:10:28,780 --> 00:10:30,760
that's a classic Tech Lord arrangement.

154
00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:33,130
Meaning what? Some Tech Lord pulls my
strings.

155
00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:36,960
Well, I'd say the evidence is pretty
incriminating.

156
00:10:36,961 --> 00:10:41,779
Passcodes to every file on my computer.
You want to poke around? Please be my

157
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:42,830
guest.

158
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,870
Gee, what makes me think I'm not going
to find anything?

159
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,599
Look, when this is over, we can go three
rounds in the alley if you want. No

160
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,639
holds barred.

161
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,740
But until then, please, just do your
job. Nothing more, nothing less, all

162
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,850
I'll do my job.

163
00:10:58,180 --> 00:11:00,170
I just don't want to be part of cover
-up.

164
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Who's asking you to?

165
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:13,820
Hello, level six.

166
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:16,160
Right where our pal last walked off.

167
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:20,500
Traces, tracks, nothing.

168
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:23,020
I'm gonna head up to level seven.

169
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,080
My guess is that it will be clean.

170
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,140
Just like eight, nine, and ten.

171
00:11:27,141 --> 00:11:30,259
There's no trail to follow because
there's no heck.

172
00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:32,080
Which means Avery's dirty, right?

173
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:37,750
That's what I like about you, Jake. You
never jump to conclusions.

174
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,960
Hey, come on.

175
00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:42,660
Look, Avery gets hooked on tech, right?

176
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:46,819
Spent six years doing cold time. Two
months out of the box, he's already

177
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:48,519
for office like nothing ever happened.

178
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,140
I'm sorry. I just don't buy his
miraculous overnight rehabilitation.

179
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:55,730
So you're saying the man doesn't deserve
a second chance?

180
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,740
Only if he really is off -tech.

181
00:11:58,260 --> 00:11:59,640
Eureka, as the Greeks say.

182
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:01,160
And what does Nika say?

183
00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:02,820
She found a footprint.

184
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,860
A tiny bit of cyber trash.

185
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:07,380
Somebody's been hacking in Avery's file.

186
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:08,950
Somebody's good.

187
00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:14,680
Dammit. We have a prowler.

188
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,960
You're getting sloppy, Will.

189
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:18,950
Deal with it.

190
00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:20,110
Now.

191
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,690
Brainwarp!

192
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:39,440
Too bad, cutie. We could have had fun
together.

193
00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:45,720
Worked like a charm.

194
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,810
Did? Hi.

195
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:56,800
A friend left prints on three different
levels.

196
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,130
Clarissa Wells.

197
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,090
Wirehead.

198
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,600
I bumped into her before. She freelances
for all kinds of unsavory things.

199
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,390
So did she flat the information in
Avery's file?

200
00:13:09,391 --> 00:13:10,359
Damn straight.

201
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,279
The hacker tracks in Avery's computer
are an exact match for the footprints on

202
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:14,959
my bud.

203
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,389
Yeah, but the question is, I mean, is
Wells on her own or is she working for

204
00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:19,389
Avery?

205
00:13:19,390 --> 00:13:20,770
You got a location on Wells?

206
00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:24,660
Yep.

207
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:58,120
Like our wire head uploaded herself out
of here look out

208
00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:37,740
Did you get a look at our fleeing
friend?

209
00:14:37,741 --> 00:14:40,589
No, it wouldn't matter if I did anyway.
He was wearing a morph mask.

210
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:41,640
How do you know?

211
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:42,790
I wasn't hitting skin.

212
00:14:43,621 --> 00:14:50,689
Okay, sunshine, who hired you to poke
around Frank Avery's computer?

213
00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:52,050
You talk, we deal.

214
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:53,790
And maybe you avoid cold time.

215
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:59,189
Looks like the lady's not afraid of the
freezer.

216
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:01,449
Well, maybe she thinks her friends are
going to be there for her when she gets

217
00:15:01,450 --> 00:15:03,550
out. As far as her friends are
concerned.

218
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:06,230
Well,

219
00:15:06,231 --> 00:15:10,179
they'll do anything it takes to make
sure she doesn't talk. Even if that

220
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:11,880
taking her out while she's on ice.

221
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Boy, dying in the freezer.

222
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,090
Very grim.

223
00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:17,390
Press off.

224
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,450
Come on, Will.

225
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,610
Wise up.

226
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Tell us who hired you.

227
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,220
It's your only way out.

228
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:26,350
Not exactly.

229
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,700
That's our boy all right. The identiform
never fails.

230
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:47,230
Hey, I'm telling you that that is a
morph mask.

231
00:15:47,231 --> 00:15:50,639
No, it couldn't be. The electromagnetic
field from the cyber rig would have

232
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,280
scrambled a mask. I know what I saw.

233
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:53,760
Or what I felt, anyway.

234
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,150
Maybe it wasn't your garden variety
mask.

235
00:15:56,151 --> 00:15:58,799
Possibly. But there aren't many people
that could build something that

236
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,850
sophisticated.

237
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:01,580
Maybe, I don't know, six tops.

238
00:16:01,940 --> 00:16:03,020
How about some names?

239
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,170
Coming your way.

240
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,100
This time, pull the plug on crime.

241
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,940
Vote for me, Kyle Brackett, for mayor.

242
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:18,070
Audio off.

243
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:19,830
Nikki, you there?

244
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:22,380
You bellowed, sir?

245
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,680
I scratched Diane Merle off the list.

246
00:16:24,681 --> 00:16:27,399
She's the biggest morph mask dealer in
the Asian quarter.

247
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Was. Past tense.

248
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,820
Woman lives in a convent now.

249
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:33,420
Man, she must be doing Mondo penance.

250
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Another name would be nice.

251
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,780
Jonas LaSalle.

252
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,890
I can guarantee you he hasn't thrown the
priesthood.

253
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:52,620
Jonas doesn't like you.

254
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,170
I liked her.

255
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,300
Hey, Jonas knows you.

256
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,720
You were in here last year. You blew up
my display case.

257
00:17:04,180 --> 00:17:05,500
Maybe I can make it up to you.

258
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,490
With a few credits?

259
00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:10,779
Looking for a morph mask.

260
00:17:11,579 --> 00:17:13,119
I hear you carry top of the line.

261
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:16,440
How many credits did you have to spend?

262
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:17,919
Well, that's up to you.

263
00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:20,700
I'm looking for one just like this.

264
00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:26,200
Jonas is closed.

265
00:17:27,619 --> 00:17:28,669
Window.

266
00:17:30,180 --> 00:17:32,100
Thank you for your patronage.

267
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,720
You got audio on Jonas?

268
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:43,580
For what it's worth. Listen.

269
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,570
Hi, big boy.

270
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,770
I'm Veronica.

271
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,660
I play the Veronica.

272
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,960
High notes or low notes?

273
00:17:50,961 --> 00:17:54,679
Boy, I gotta hand it to you, Nika. I'll
tell you, your surveillance techniques,

274
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,140
they never fail.

275
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,380
Flattery will get you somewhere.

276
00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,490
In this case, Avery Campaign
Headquarters.

277
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,440
Gwen just sent up a distress signal.

278
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:04,800
All right, I'm on my way.

279
00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:07,660
Dad, please don't go.

280
00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:10,910
Look, I promise I'll be back before
curfew.

281
00:18:11,021 --> 00:18:13,029
Back from where?

282
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:15,790
He's going to Rosemont House at the tech
rehab center.

283
00:18:15,791 --> 00:18:19,649
Yeah. Yeah, that's five blocks from
where a group of tech addicts killed two

284
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:21,430
cops. I'm aware of that.

285
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:24,200
Now, if you'll excuse me, I don't want
to be late.

286
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:26,160
Hold on.

287
00:18:26,161 --> 00:18:28,569
I can't provide security to you in a
place like that.

288
00:18:28,570 --> 00:18:30,709
Well, then I guess I'll just have to
take my chances.

289
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:32,880
You don't go anywhere without my
approval.

290
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:36,090
You're forgetting, Mr. Cardigan, you
work for me.

291
00:18:38,860 --> 00:18:39,910
All right.

292
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:41,620
How about a holoconference?

293
00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:43,270
Definitely not.

294
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,400
That's bracket style, not mine.

295
00:18:45,401 --> 00:18:47,619
Cut the man -of -the -people act, Avery.

296
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:48,960
Those people need help.

297
00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:51,800
I promise to be there, and I will.

298
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,720
And it's my job to keep you alive.

299
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,780
Fine. Just stay out of my way.

300
00:19:00,191 --> 00:19:02,119
All right.

301
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,119
I want you to ride with him. Standard
security procedures. He gives you any

302
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,590
trouble, turn the car around, and come
back here.

303
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,780
Knowing my dad, he'll get out and hit.

304
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,110
Yeah, well, that's why we're going to be
right behind. Come on.

305
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:19,380
Please stand back. Everybody move back.

306
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,220
Thank you. Move back, please. Everybody
move back, please. Come on.

307
00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:25,120
A little further back. Stand back.

308
00:19:25,121 --> 00:19:29,579
Appreciate more lead time next time.
Well, these things happen when all you

309
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:32,440
about is photo ops. This is a photo op?
Bet you ten credits.

310
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:37,729
Folks! I'm not here this morning to
answer questions. As a matter of fact,

311
00:19:37,730 --> 00:19:38,780
is kind of private.

312
00:19:39,250 --> 00:19:42,150
And I'd ask all of the press to leave
right now.

313
00:19:42,151 --> 00:19:46,569
You can tear me to shreds on the 6 o
'clock bit. I can't fall much further

314
00:19:46,570 --> 00:19:48,490
behind in the polls than I already have.

315
00:19:48,491 --> 00:19:50,389
Looks like you don't take credits.

316
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:52,069
You heard what the man said. Let's go.

317
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:53,469
Want to take the lead out front?

318
00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:55,889
Oh, sure, Jake. I love hanging out in
neighborhoods where they shoot cops on

319
00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:58,060
sight. Come on, let's go. Stand back,
please.

320
00:19:58,370 --> 00:19:59,810
That's it. That's it for today.

321
00:20:10,199 --> 00:20:11,249
Listen up, people.

322
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,240
I'm not here to preach today.

323
00:20:15,980 --> 00:20:20,120
I'm really here to find out what I can
do for you.

324
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:22,140
How'd you get addicted?

325
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,590
Well, I wish I could give you a real sob
story.

326
00:20:26,620 --> 00:20:29,100
Something that'd excuse what I did, but
I can't.

327
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,260
So how'd you kick the habit?

328
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,770
My daughter.

329
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:39,650
When I realized that tech cost me six
years of her life.

330
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:44,290
I knew what I'd done was truly
unforgivable.

331
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:46,680
Or so I thought.

332
00:20:48,270 --> 00:20:49,350
And then I got lucky.

333
00:20:51,170 --> 00:20:52,270
She forgave me.

334
00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:56,590
And taught me that feeling sorry for
myself was pointless.

335
00:20:58,070 --> 00:21:01,050
You see, you have to let go of the
shame.

336
00:21:03,010 --> 00:21:04,190
You have to believe.

337
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:06,690
That you're worth saving.

338
00:21:07,310 --> 00:21:08,360
Come on, Avery.

339
00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:10,510
Once a tech head, always a tech head.

340
00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:12,410
Look, I know what I did was wrong.

341
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:14,630
There's no excuse for it.

342
00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:20,069
And I'm here today to tell you I'm here
to try and make up for it. Or at least

343
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:20,889
in part.

344
00:21:20,890 --> 00:21:21,829
With what?

345
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:22,880
Phony promises?

346
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:25,969
This shelter's gonna run out of plastic
in less than a month. What are you gonna

347
00:21:25,970 --> 00:21:28,140
do about it? I'll tell you what I'm
gonna do.

348
00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:32,320
I'm gonna come back here tomorrow with
the media.

349
00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:34,610
And we're gonna ask for donations.

350
00:21:35,330 --> 00:21:40,549
And I am not going to leave here until
we have 50 ,000 credits pledged. What do

351
00:21:40,550 --> 00:21:41,600
you say?

352
00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:45,929
I'd say we take the city back from the
tech lords and we start right here with

353
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:47,070
the people at Rosemont.

354
00:21:48,010 --> 00:21:49,350
Look, you can't trust him.

355
00:21:49,770 --> 00:21:50,820
He's a liar.

356
00:21:50,821 --> 00:21:56,869
Hey, listen, I happen to agree with you,
okay? But the man does have the right

357
00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:58,110
to speak. Go to hell.

358
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:01,630
Come on, let's go, Gary. Come on, get
out of here.

359
00:22:02,330 --> 00:22:03,380
Let's go.

360
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:06,950
Stop it.

361
00:22:07,540 --> 00:22:08,590
Stop fighting.

362
00:22:10,060 --> 00:22:11,110
All right, okay.

363
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:13,750
Take it easy. Everything's all right
now.

364
00:22:14,060 --> 00:22:15,110
All right?

365
00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:16,590
Now hand me the gun.

366
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,810
No.

367
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,200
Let you and me talk, son.

368
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,960
But first, why not let everyone else go,
all right?

369
00:22:24,691 --> 00:22:26,779
I don't know.

370
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:29,640
You don't want to hurt innocent people,
do you?

371
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,060
I mean, I'm the one you're after, right?

372
00:22:37,060 --> 00:22:38,360
Okay. They can go.

373
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,020
What's your name, son?

374
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,570
Greg.

375
00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:49,830
All right, Greg.

376
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:53,740
Now, why don't you tell me why you're so
angry?

377
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,720
You don't care about me.

378
00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:56,990
Yes, I do.

379
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:58,110
Nobody does.

380
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,580
My life isn't worth anything.

381
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:05,350
No!

382
00:23:07,940 --> 00:23:10,320
It will be if you kick tech.

383
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,500
Look at me. I did it.

384
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:16,360
You can too, Greg.

385
00:23:16,660 --> 00:23:17,720
But I don't know how.

386
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,760
I don't know who to believe.

387
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,410
You've got to start by believing in you,
Greg.

388
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,920
You have to forgive yourself. That's the
key.

389
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,100
Now, put down the gun, okay?

390
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:35,640
Please, just give me the gun.

391
00:23:42,941 --> 00:23:48,769
Hey, Sam, we had a shooter here, but
everything's under control.

392
00:23:48,770 --> 00:23:51,469
Good thing, because now Jonas Lathal
needs your help.

393
00:23:51,470 --> 00:23:52,520
For what?

394
00:23:52,521 --> 00:23:55,409
According to Nika, two goons are shaking
him down, and they're not being very

395
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:56,460
gentle, Jake.

396
00:23:56,590 --> 00:23:57,640
All right.

397
00:23:59,270 --> 00:24:00,320
Let's go over here.

398
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:06,729
News of Frank Avery's dramatic encounter
at the Rosemont earlier today has

399
00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:10,040
brought his campaign forward in a way
that no one thought he could.

400
00:24:11,570 --> 00:24:13,110
Why was Jake Cardigan here?

401
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:15,760
Jonas doesn't know a Jake Cardigan.

402
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:20,420
Yes, yes. Now Jonas remembers Jake
Cardigan. What did he want?

403
00:24:20,421 --> 00:24:21,939
Wrist vids.

404
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:23,360
He wanted wrist vids.

405
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,940
Hey, hey, hey, hey, please. Jonas
doesn't like anyone to handle the

406
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,470
My boss doesn't like any of these people
who don't come clean.

407
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,160
Jonas swears he said nothing.

408
00:25:09,390 --> 00:25:10,440
Hi, big boy.

409
00:25:12,190 --> 00:25:13,270
I'm Veronica.

410
00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:23,470
Jonas is ruined.

411
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:25,740
Better than dead.

412
00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:36,210
This has not been a good day for Jonas.

413
00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:38,050
Well, it could get worse.

414
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:42,470
If I don't get those two to spill who
they work for, I can't shut them down.

415
00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:44,600
Jonas will do you one better.

416
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:50,900
The face someone wants to hide is the
face of Jonas that keeps on record.

417
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,640
Just in case.

418
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,570
That's what the guy in the mask really
looks like.

419
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,460
Jonas doesn't know his name.

420
00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,940
Is it Jake Cardigan?

421
00:26:00,780 --> 00:26:01,830
No.

422
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,160
Jake Cardigan knows somebody who will.

423
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:07,820
Adam Trask.

424
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:13,020
He's muscled for the Carson tech cartel.
I'm surprised you're still alive, Jake.

425
00:26:13,021 --> 00:26:15,469
Well, thanks for your vote of
confidence.

426
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:19,170
If Trask is involved, the stakes in this
election must be very high.

427
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:21,610
The tech lords don't want Avery to win.

428
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:23,230
Like he's got a chance.

429
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:27,500
Obviously, you haven't heard the results
of the latest cyber poll.

430
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:32,950
Thanks to the Rosemont incident, Avery
and Brackett are now neck and neck.

431
00:26:33,330 --> 00:26:34,510
I still don't buy it.

432
00:26:34,850 --> 00:26:38,460
And why would the tech lords back a law
and order guy like Kyle Brackett?

433
00:26:38,461 --> 00:26:41,319
I suppose you've never heard of a
crooked politician using law and order

434
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,370
cover.

435
00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:45,190
Jonas.

436
00:26:45,191 --> 00:26:48,859
I'm not going to be able to find this
Trask character as long as he's wearing

437
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:50,359
your top -of -the -line morph mask.

438
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:53,180
Hey, Jonas prides himself on
craftsmanship.

439
00:26:53,181 --> 00:26:56,259
Hey, well, Jonas better start priding
himself and finding a way to make that

440
00:26:56,260 --> 00:26:57,310
morph mask fail.

441
00:26:57,311 --> 00:26:58,399
A nullifier.

442
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,450
Not easy.

443
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:02,939
You want those guys to come back to your
shop and redecorate it again for you?

444
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:04,320
Fine, Jonas. A workstation.

445
00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:06,430
Jonas.

446
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,079
Meet Nika. Nika, this is Jonas. You two
are going to be working together, all

447
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,130
right? Have fun.

448
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,380
Jonas wonders, who does Nika's hair?

449
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:25,080
Kyle Brackett, the anti -tech crusader,
is a patsy for a pack of tech lords?

450
00:27:25,340 --> 00:27:28,280
Talk about strange bedfellows. Then it
gets worse.

451
00:27:28,820 --> 00:27:31,040
Adam Trask is the cartel's big fixer.

452
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,330
They got a problem, he solves it. And
right now, you're their biggest problem.

453
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,770
He's right, Dad. Your encounter at
Rosemont changed a lot of mine.

454
00:27:38,771 --> 00:27:41,019
So you want to stay alive to see the end
of this election?

455
00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:42,340
Then you'll take my advice.

456
00:27:42,820 --> 00:27:44,380
And what advice would that be?

457
00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:48,020
Lay low till we get enough evidence on
Brackett to go public.

458
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,459
Or at least until we nail Trask. I got a
fundraiser scheduled at Rosemont. I

459
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:53,840
can't let those people down.

460
00:27:53,841 --> 00:27:56,779
And you won't be letting them down if
you get yourself killed?

461
00:27:56,780 --> 00:27:58,340
Brackett's already killed you.

462
00:28:00,260 --> 00:28:01,920
With words on the vid wave.

463
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,299
To my wishy -washy opponent,
rehabilitation is just another way of

464
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:11,540
revolving door.

465
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,559
Just another way of keeping tech heads
and the danger they represent on our

466
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,560
streets. Here's my position. Do tech and
you're frozen out.

467
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:26,100
Out of society and most certainly out of
politics.

468
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:33,140
Cyberpoll instant tabulation. Frank
Avery down 25%. Kyle Brackett up 27 .5%.

469
00:28:33,141 --> 00:28:37,029
Okay, Vivian, we got work to do. And
don't even think it, Cardigan. If I go

470
00:28:37,030 --> 00:28:40,569
ground now, everyone will think I'm
afraid to stand up for what I believe

471
00:28:40,570 --> 00:28:43,750
You stand up for one thing, and that's
getting elected. Period.

472
00:28:44,030 --> 00:28:45,080
Yes, that's right.

473
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:47,130
With or without your vote.

474
00:28:48,170 --> 00:28:49,220
Let's go, Vivian.

475
00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:55,950
Your father is probably the most
stubborn, irritating man I think I ever

476
00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:58,070
He's beginning to grow on you, isn't he?

477
00:29:03,530 --> 00:29:06,270
Jonas needs more light. I'll get you
more light.

478
00:29:07,530 --> 00:29:09,570
Jonas needs a hypersonic drill.

479
00:29:09,850 --> 00:29:11,870
Fine, I'll get you a hypersonic drill.

480
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:14,970
And a pair of fiber optic pliers.

481
00:29:14,971 --> 00:29:16,549
Do I look like Santa Claus?

482
00:29:16,550 --> 00:29:21,910
And an electromagnetic scrambler, cyber
conduit, and a hydraulic welding torch.

483
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:23,280
Anything else?

484
00:29:23,390 --> 00:29:24,830
How about a kiss, sweet cake?

485
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:26,050
Not in this lifetime.

486
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:27,480
How about lunch?

487
00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:29,630
Mika just lost her appetite.

488
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:36,410
We need credits to run rehab centers
like Rosemont.

489
00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:43,289
If we can save just one life by keeping
these doors open, then we've performed a

490
00:29:43,290 --> 00:29:44,340
miracle.

491
00:29:45,070 --> 00:29:50,130
But we need your credit transfers to do
it, so please, interact now.

492
00:29:51,210 --> 00:29:53,170
I give him a nine plus for sincerity.

493
00:29:53,470 --> 00:29:54,830
And a zero for security.

494
00:29:55,050 --> 00:29:56,100
Look who's here.

495
00:29:56,430 --> 00:30:00,269
How about taking a question from the
floor, Mr. Avery? You can't wait for the

496
00:30:00,270 --> 00:30:00,969
debate tonight?

497
00:30:00,970 --> 00:30:03,260
It's all right, Mr. Cardigan. Let the
man speak.

498
00:30:04,330 --> 00:30:07,530
So, tell us, what is your position on
law enforcement?

499
00:30:08,030 --> 00:30:11,280
Will you approve funding for personal
police security fields?

500
00:30:11,370 --> 00:30:15,110
Well, in theory, yes, but I'd have to
examine the costs first.

501
00:30:15,330 --> 00:30:19,130
Then exactly what do you support,
besides these sleazy flop houses?

502
00:30:20,010 --> 00:30:22,790
Tech rehab is my number one priority,
Mr. Brackett.

503
00:30:23,010 --> 00:30:24,550
And I'm sure we know why.

504
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:28,010
What about cyber libraries?

505
00:30:28,970 --> 00:30:31,370
A balanced budget, Adway expansion.

506
00:30:31,810 --> 00:30:34,530
I don't make idle campaign promises,
sir.

507
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:39,669
Maybe that's because you can't make
choices, which is what being a leader is

508
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:40,720
about.

509
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:45,510
You're not fooling anybody.

510
00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:46,740
Really?

511
00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:49,170
Cyber poll shows I just gained two
points.

512
00:30:54,050 --> 00:30:55,100
Excuse me.

513
00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:58,490
Sir, please, come with me to the wall.

514
00:30:59,530 --> 00:31:00,580
Uh -oh.

515
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:02,530
Get back.

516
00:31:02,770 --> 00:31:03,820
Turn around.

517
00:31:07,670 --> 00:31:08,720
Good God.

518
00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:11,040
Sorry, mister, it's kind of tense here
today.

519
00:31:18,661 --> 00:31:20,569
Dad's gone.

520
00:31:20,570 --> 00:31:22,740
He went out the side door with the
reporter.

521
00:31:26,270 --> 00:31:27,710
Mika, we lost Avery.

522
00:31:27,711 --> 00:31:31,789
Someone just tipped the media that a big
story about Frank Avery is going to

523
00:31:31,790 --> 00:31:34,490
break at an abandoned theater half a
block west.

524
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:36,360
Smells like a setup.

525
00:31:36,490 --> 00:31:37,870
Sounds like an inside job.

526
00:31:37,871 --> 00:31:40,789
I mean, they had to know the exact time
and place in order to pull this off.

527
00:31:40,790 --> 00:31:43,169
Look, we've got more immediate problems
before this date is on the move.

528
00:31:43,170 --> 00:31:44,729
All right, you run interference.

529
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:46,110
Keep away from that theater.

530
00:31:52,170 --> 00:31:56,649
Our next vice mayor, the Honorable
Vivian Rogers, has a very important

531
00:31:56,650 --> 00:31:57,700
statement.

532
00:32:01,501 --> 00:32:07,909
Houston's messing things up. Now she's
got Rogers making a speech.

533
00:32:07,910 --> 00:32:08,709
Handle it.

534
00:32:08,710 --> 00:32:10,790
How? Make a speech yourself.

535
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:38,059
No. What have you done, you bastard? I
was mayor again. Take it easy. Take it

536
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:39,099
easy. It was tech.

537
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:41,330
Avery, it was only tech. No, I was mayor
again.

538
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:43,880
I took the oath of office.

539
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,500
Everyone was working with me. We were
going to save the city.

540
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,520
It was tech.

541
00:32:50,780 --> 00:32:51,830
Oh, my God.

542
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:53,340
Oh, my God.

543
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:55,750
No.

544
00:32:57,740 --> 00:32:58,790
No.

545
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,499
Serving on the city council was an
honor, but undoubtedly the proudest

546
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:07,300
my public life was... Excuse me, Ms.
Rogers.

547
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,700
Aren't you just stalling, or more
accurately, covering up?

548
00:33:11,701 --> 00:33:15,599
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
I'm trying to say that I have reliable

549
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,979
information that at this very moment,
your running mate is not far from here,

550
00:33:21,980 --> 00:33:23,220
the middle of a tech trip.

551
00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:26,600
That is an outrageous accusation.

552
00:33:26,820 --> 00:33:27,870
It's the truth.

553
00:33:30,810 --> 00:33:31,860
Follow me.

554
00:33:36,511 --> 00:33:38,949
Shake me, he's on the move.

555
00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:42,560
All right, well, I got it covered for
now. Just keep me posted, all right?

556
00:33:42,561 --> 00:33:44,769
Well, let's go. We got to get out of
here.

557
00:33:44,770 --> 00:33:47,569
What? Don't you think the public
deserves to know about this?

558
00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:50,220
Yeah, you're a politician. You know
better than that.

559
00:33:51,390 --> 00:33:52,440
Let's go.

560
00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:05,230
Avery was here. I swear to it.

561
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:07,750
I have a reliable source.

562
00:34:08,989 --> 00:34:11,699
Come with me. There's something else I
should show you.

563
00:34:14,429 --> 00:34:17,799
When we get to a bridge, why don't you
just pull over and let me jump?

564
00:34:19,710 --> 00:34:20,760
Too chancy.

565
00:34:20,889 --> 00:34:22,029
Might survive the fall.

566
00:34:22,790 --> 00:34:23,840
Here.

567
00:34:23,989 --> 00:34:25,070
Is this your thing?

568
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:27,850
Let's put it on mark one, maximum force.

569
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:29,530
Quick results, guaranteed.

570
00:34:30,850 --> 00:34:32,050
You don't get it, do you?

571
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,270
After what's happened today, I am
finished.

572
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,620
What did happen today?

573
00:34:36,621 --> 00:34:40,198
What, did somebody wave a tech chip at
you and you couldn't turn it down?

574
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:44,119
They grabbed me. They took me to that
place and they jammed that damn headset

575
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,138
my skull.

576
00:34:45,139 --> 00:34:46,199
So you were set up.

577
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,899
Is that something to be ashamed of?
Don't you see? I went straight back to

578
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,070
same place I was eight years ago,
Cardigan.

579
00:34:52,659 --> 00:34:54,860
I went straight back to my favorite
trip.

580
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:00,720
The day I was inaugurated.

581
00:35:06,890 --> 00:35:09,660
All those people cheering me outside the
Civic Center.

582
00:35:11,070 --> 00:35:13,650
My wife and daughter standing beside me,
waving.

583
00:35:13,870 --> 00:35:14,920
And you loved it.

584
00:35:15,890 --> 00:35:17,590
Every blissful second of it.

585
00:35:18,650 --> 00:35:21,290
See, that's my big beef with you, Avery,
you know?

586
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:25,550
I mean, you come out of that freezer,
you're smiling, you're shaking hands.

587
00:35:26,030 --> 00:35:29,170
Every cliche we've ever seen. Like it's
all over with.

588
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:31,550
But you know what? It's not that easy.

589
00:35:32,010 --> 00:35:34,170
I mean, tech is one mean monkey.

590
00:35:34,570 --> 00:35:38,180
And you're going to have it on your back
for the rest of your life, period.

591
00:35:39,110 --> 00:35:40,160
You can't beat it.

592
00:35:41,450 --> 00:35:43,410
You just got to keep fighting every day.

593
00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:46,210
And not run from air either, right?

594
00:35:46,490 --> 00:35:47,650
No, I didn't say that.

595
00:35:47,910 --> 00:35:49,410
I didn't say get out of the game.

596
00:35:49,610 --> 00:35:51,470
How could I possibly stay in the game?

597
00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:54,660
What did you tell those kids at the
rehab center?

598
00:35:55,110 --> 00:35:56,610
You got to believe in yourself.

599
00:35:57,250 --> 00:36:00,130
You say things to kids to get them
going. Come on.

600
00:36:00,131 --> 00:36:02,219
What'd you tell Gwen?

601
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:04,450
You tell Gwen that, too? You tell her
stuff?

602
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,290
Come on, she believes in you, no matter
what happens.

603
00:36:10,220 --> 00:36:11,270
Do it for her.

604
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:16,980
They say you're a fixer.

605
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,360
Well, so far, you haven't fixed Jack.

606
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,760
The bogus record, the rehab riot, the
tech OD, nothing's worked.

607
00:36:24,761 --> 00:36:30,369
According to the latest cyber poll,
Avery's gonna win. It's your own fault.

608
00:36:30,370 --> 00:36:33,929
look like an ass on the vid. And whose
fault was it that the media caught me

609
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:34,980
with my pants down?

610
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:38,260
It won't happen again. We're taking
Avery out of the equation.

611
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:40,310
Murder? No.

612
00:36:40,610 --> 00:36:41,890
I have some morals.

613
00:36:42,130 --> 00:36:43,180
Deal me out.

614
00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:45,710
Let me make something perfectly clear.

615
00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:50,310
I am not here to negotiate. I am here to
tell you what to do.

616
00:36:50,311 --> 00:36:54,679
And if self -preservation rates high on
your cyber pole, you will do exactly

617
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,500
what I tell you. And you will do it damn
quick.

618
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,650
Hello, Viv.

619
00:37:05,180 --> 00:37:06,230
Vivian?

620
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:08,540
You're in on this?

621
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,600
I thought I was crooked.

622
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,850
What went wrong?

623
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,860
Jay Cardigan. He got to Avery before the
media could.

624
00:37:17,180 --> 00:37:20,040
And now Avery's a slam dunk. Time for
plan B.

625
00:37:20,410 --> 00:37:21,460
Which is what?

626
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:25,470
After Avery wins, Vivian takes his
place.

627
00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:27,730
Avery will never go for that.

628
00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:30,130
That's the thing about dead people.

629
00:37:30,170 --> 00:37:31,970
They'll put up with almost anything.

630
00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:41,040
Jake figured it had to be somebody on
the inside.

631
00:37:41,570 --> 00:37:44,310
I figured it had to be somebody high up
on the future.

632
00:37:44,850 --> 00:37:46,290
Well, they said you were good.

633
00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:47,910
They said the same about you?

634
00:37:49,550 --> 00:37:50,830
Too bad they were wrong.

635
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:52,480
Yeah.

636
00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:58,800
Unfortunately, goodness, they got
nothing to do with it.

637
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:17,630
If you reverse the polarity, it'll blow.

638
00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:19,230
Watch. And learn.

639
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:27,310
Would you give me that drill?

640
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:28,800
How are we doing?

641
00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:30,000
We've done better.

642
00:38:30,001 --> 00:38:34,509
What happened at Rosemont? I'm hearing
all kinds of stories on the vid.

643
00:38:34,510 --> 00:38:36,740
Someone tried to frame Avery for using
tech.

644
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:41,550
Someone? You mean Brackett, with helpful
tracks.

645
00:38:41,551 --> 00:38:44,089
Well, you look like you've been to one
hell of a party.

646
00:38:44,090 --> 00:38:46,260
Yeah, try a Black Widow with a hell of a
bite.

647
00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:48,560
Vivian's our leak. She's working for
Trask.

648
00:38:49,050 --> 00:38:52,110
So if Trask kills Avery, Vivian becomes
mayor.

649
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:54,190
And the Tech Lords control City Hall.

650
00:38:54,210 --> 00:38:55,530
Now put me through to Avery.

651
00:38:57,870 --> 00:39:02,389
I want to help heal this community. To
bring us all together in a common

652
00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:03,440
purpose.

653
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:07,250
Three weeks ago, Frank Avery was down 14
points in the poll.

654
00:39:07,710 --> 00:39:09,230
His candidacy doomed.

655
00:39:10,220 --> 00:39:13,590
Only a miracle could put him in the
mayor's mansion on election day.

656
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:15,620
And who believes in miracle?

657
00:39:16,740 --> 00:39:20,959
But now that Frank Avery has bounced
back in the polls, his election

658
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,099
assured, we may soon witness the most
amazing political comeback in this

659
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:27,150
century.

660
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:31,860
If I were Frank Avery, I would believe
in miracles.

661
00:39:43,660 --> 00:39:45,160
So what's the word on Houston?

662
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:47,300
He's not the priority right now.

663
00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:49,200
But she heard everything.

664
00:39:49,580 --> 00:39:54,839
So, it's her word against yours. Do you
have any idea how easy it is to deal

665
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,920
with a sole witness?

666
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,039
Now, you take care of Cardigan's
security systems, and this will all be

667
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,090
about five minutes.

668
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,530
Thank you.

669
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:08,670
I can't get through.

670
00:40:08,780 --> 00:40:10,220
Call Sam. Tell her I'm on my way.

671
00:40:11,420 --> 00:40:15,060
Jonas. My friend, I need that nullifier
now. Jonas isn't finished.

672
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,960
Well, I'll take what you've got.

673
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,620
Jonas is an artisan, a craftsman.

674
00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:22,760
Jonas is going to be a dead man if Jake
doesn't stop Trask.

675
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,960
It only works when you're close to the
mask.

676
00:40:26,580 --> 00:40:27,630
How close?

677
00:40:28,220 --> 00:40:29,620
Very close.

678
00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:37,220
Thank you.

679
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,410
Thank you.

680
00:40:40,010 --> 00:40:42,210
The Matrix polls are about to close.

681
00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:47,309
Citizens only have about one minute left
to vote, so for just this once, I'll

682
00:40:47,310 --> 00:40:48,360
keep it short.

683
00:40:49,490 --> 00:40:56,249
It's been a long, difficult campaign,
but no matter what happens, I owe you

684
00:40:56,250 --> 00:40:59,930
all my undying respect and eternal
gratitude.

685
00:41:01,030 --> 00:41:02,950
Thank you for giving me a second chance.

686
00:41:03,130 --> 00:41:04,180
Thank you.

687
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,040
Polls are now closed. Electoral program
tabulating.

688
00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:17,660
Final tally, Kyle Brackett, 6 ,801 ,215
votes.

689
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,960
Frank Avery, 9 million.

690
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,330
Yes!

691
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,930
Thank you.

692
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:31,080
All right,

693
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,260
I'll cover Avery. You go find Vivian.

694
00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:50,170
For my dad. No, that's my job.

695
00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:52,170
Have you seen Miss Rogers?

696
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:54,110
She's giving an interview.

697
00:41:54,111 --> 00:41:56,069
Can I have your attention, please?

698
00:41:56,070 --> 00:42:01,910
When I started this, all the experts
said it would be hopeless.

699
00:42:02,650 --> 00:42:05,360
They all said that I was most certainly
doomed to fail.

700
00:42:05,770 --> 00:42:09,870
Well, I can tell you, it sure feels good
to prove them wrong.

701
00:42:13,310 --> 00:42:14,810
Just a second, just a second.

702
00:42:16,050 --> 00:42:17,750
Not just because I've won.

703
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:24,979
But because and thanks to you, I can now
finally redeem myself and

704
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:29,979
make up for the terrible wrong that I
inflicted on this city and on the people

705
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:31,030
who believed in me.

706
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,740
You've given me my second chance.

707
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:40,879
And I swear to you that I will do
everything in my power to give this city

708
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,740
second chance. Thank you all very much.
Thank you.

709
00:42:45,620 --> 00:42:46,670
Thank you.

710
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,360
Tough game, politics.

711
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:43,310
Tell me about it.

712
00:43:44,511 --> 00:43:51,839
Also implicated was losing candidate
Kyle Brockett, who had this to say at

713
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,890
arrest.

714
00:43:52,891 --> 00:43:55,939
I didn't know what they had in mind. I
never would have been a party to murder,

715
00:43:55,940 --> 00:43:58,360
though I know what I did was abhorrent.

716
00:43:58,361 --> 00:44:03,139
I just hope our new mayor and the public
he serves can find it in their hearts

717
00:44:03,140 --> 00:44:04,190
to forgive me.

718
00:44:04,191 --> 00:44:07,379
In other news... That guy sounds like
he's still running for office. He

719
00:44:07,380 --> 00:44:08,600
is. I've no doubt.

720
00:44:08,601 --> 00:44:12,179
As soon as Brackett is out of the
freezer, he'll be asking the voters for

721
00:44:12,180 --> 00:44:13,230
second chance.

722
00:44:13,231 --> 00:44:16,919
The voters will spit in his eye. That's
what you said about Avery.

723
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,780
Never underestimate the power of society
to forgive or forget.

724
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:22,940
Hey, you're a cynic.

725
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,490
I'm a realist.

726
00:44:24,491 --> 00:44:27,299
Yeah, what do you call the people that
support a guy like Brackett?

727
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:28,640
Voters? Yeah.

728
00:44:28,641 --> 00:44:31,939
Well, if the voters would put a weasel
like Brackett back in office, they'll

729
00:44:31,940 --> 00:44:32,799
elect anybody.

730
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,600
Ooh, that's an interesting thought.

731
00:44:35,260 --> 00:44:37,180
I'll remember that for my own campaign.

732
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,920
You'd run for public office?

733
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,050
What, councilman?

734
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:42,970
Mayor?

735
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,160
Governor? Hey, you're getting close.

736
00:44:49,060 --> 00:44:52,160
Whatever. You got my vote. You don't
even know my platform.

737
00:44:52,540 --> 00:44:53,980
I know who's paying my salary.

738
00:44:54,940 --> 00:44:55,990
Cynic.

739
00:44:55,991 --> 00:44:57,549
Realist.

740
