[sighs]

Oh.

[man 1 on loudspeaker] Stand clear!

Step away from the patient!

-Final warning! Get back. -[D gasps]

-[King] It's okay! She's my…

-[D] Capri? -[man 1] Get back!

[ominous music playing]

[Talia gasping softly]

[King sighs]

-Talia. -[King sighs]

-Hey! What the hell kinda shard is that? -[running footsteps]

[D] It's mine!

-Wait! Come-- -[clanking]

-[both] Whoa! -[lound clang]

-[power humming] -[King groans]

[Roman sighs]

[King grumbles]

[grunts]

[groans]

-[sighs] -[Roman] Uh…

That punk!

Hey, what was that all about, kid?

You saw what he did to her, right?

Talia was just fine till he spiked her with that shard!

I don't know…

-Were you two tryna pull a prank? -[yelps]

What if you caused her real harm? That ever cross your mind?

I… I'm really sorry. Got no idea what happened in there, either.

[King] Gah!

Just go home. I'm headin' for the hospital.

I'm coming with ya.

[King] You're not needed.

-Uh, but I… -Get your ass home, now!

Huh.

[D breathing shakily]

[eerie music playing]

[click]

-[high-pitched ringing] -[straining]

[gasps]

Huh.

Capri!

[sighs]

-[faint buzzing] -[gasps]

Huh.

What the hell was that back there?

Hey!

I'm talkin' to you!

[gasps]

Huh?

Capri?

What?

[music fades]

[doctor] The last of Talia's native nervous tissue is beginning to break down.

That includes her brain, which previously had been unaffected.

-Without intervention… -[springs squeak]

[doctor] Uh, that is to say,

if we reduce the cyberload to the bare minimum,

we may be able to alleviate some of the intense pain she'll experience.

So you're recommending a new treatment plan?

-[doctor] I'm afraid not. -[gasps]

[doctor] What I'm proposing is just a way to minimize her suffering.

Talia's condition is terminal,

and the time she has left is limited.

I'm sorry.

[Avida gasps]

[sobbing]

-[King] Hmm. -[Avida continues sobbing]

[doctor] The last of Talia's nervous tissue is breaking down,

including her brain.

[Kiril] I see.

-[doctor] Without intervention… -[call ends]

[Kiril yells]

[monitors bleeping]

[door mechanism hisses and clanks]

-[Talia] Mm? [sighs] -[footsteps approaching]

[curtain swishes]

[Talia] Where's my mom?

[King] Hmm.

[Talia] I'm dying, aren't I?

[pieces rattling]

[chuckles]

Can't think like that, ya hear?

[Talia] Course I can. I'm a certified cyberpsycho.

You're not.

Well, I sure wasn't myself.

[somber music playing]

[Talia] Was exactly like you said.

The doctors still have some doubts.

Specially if a burnout like me stopped ya.

If you'd really gone off the deep end, wouldn't have been close.

[Talia] I saw someone who wasn't there. Like a ghost.

A ghost?

That sound familiar?

-Hmm. -[Talia] Course it does.

But that's all passed now.

It's just you and me talking in here. Not a ghost to be seen.

-It's okay. -[Talia] I'll never grow old.

My life's over before it even started.

Flatlined as a gonk teenager.

That's not gonna happen.

Wanted to die beautiful.

[gasps shakily] I can't even do that!

[gasps]

[Talia] Damn it!

-[wails] -[King] Talia, stop! Calm down!

[Talia] You're no different from me!

A mortal fucking danger to everyone around you. [sobs]

You have no reason to live! [breathing shakily]

-[King] I do! -[Talia gasps]

Talia, you are my reason.

[Talia] Huh?

I wanted to end it all.

-But… but then, I met you. -[Talia] So what?

You are my reason to live.

[Talia] Creep. [shudders]

-[soft crunch] -[Talia gasps]

Oh…

Did I hurt ya?

-[Talia laughs] -Oh.

[laughing sadly]

Why?

[sobs]

Why is it always you?

[laughs sadly]

-[King] If… -[Talia gasps]

[King] If you lose control again, I'll be there to bring you back.

On that, have my word.

And, kid, if all else fails…

[Talia] What?

Then we flatline together.

-[Talia laughs] -[music fades]

That supposed to cheer me up?

[King] Please.

If anything happens to her, give me a call.

[nurse] Sir, I can't do that.

Favor for a favor.

-[bleeping] -[nurse] Uh…

Of course.

[King] Hmm.

So, you came anyway.

Yeah. Can't stop thinkin' about Talia…

[King] Hmm? Speak your mind.

I, uh…

I'm really sorry about what happened.

Didn't know D would do that.

-Honest. -Uh… Oh.

Don't sweat it. Know it's not your fault.

[Roman] Oh. Hmm…

Really didn't deserve to get chewed out like that. We're chill.

Oh! Well…

Did you get to see her?

How's Talia doin'?

[King sighs]

She's stable, alert, but not outta the woods.

[Roman] It was that bad?

[King] Sorry. Can't say much.

[Roman] 'Cause of one chip?

[King] No. Partly… Well, maybe.

But Talia was already unwell.

Look, you got a minute?

How old are you?

[Roman] Huh?

-Twelve. -I see.

You two. What's the story there?

Oh! We're not really dating.

In fact, haven't even known her that long.

And yet you're the one she buzzed.

About that. Why did she call me, anyway?

Hmm… Oh. Well…

Guess you can thank me for that. My big mouth.

Why don't we just drop it?

-[Roman] Hmm-- -All right?

-So, are you… -[King] Come on, kid.

I mean it.

Are you, like… Talia's dad?

Hmm?

Oh! That's right.

Uh, I mean…

-[Roman] Hmm? -[King] No… More like an uncle.

[Roman] Her uncle, huh?

[King] Anyway, 'bout that shard.

[Roman] Yeah?

[King] Can you snag it for me?

-Wanna take a closer look. -[men] Huh?

The problem is…

-Only just met him, too. -[all murmuring]

[Roman] D. Don't even have his deets.

-But sure. Can try to find him. -[gasps]

-[yelling] -[King] Good. Do it.

Knowing what's on that thing might help with Talia's treatment.

[Roman] You got it.

-[Kiril] Weak Kingsley, I presume? -Oh?

[suspenseful music playing]

Huh?

Kiril Yang. I'm Talia's father.

Oh.

-[Kiril] A pleasure. -Uh…

-Likewise. -[clink]

You're the man who found my daughter, I hear.

[King] Yeah, s'pose so.

I'd expect no less from a seasoned merc.

Or should I say former merc?

[King] Hmm?

[Kiril] In any case, you look well.

Especially given your recent brush with cyberpsychosis.

-[King] Uh… -Uh…

How'd you know about that?

Avida filled me in.

From what she's told me, you two share quite a history.

[King] Well, uh… I mean, yeah, it's one way to put it.

[Kiril] I also hear most of your cyberware has been scaled back.

Yeah, you can see that for yourself.

-[Roman] 'Scuse me? -[King] Hmm?

-[Roman] Can I go now? -Sure, go on home. kid.

-And about that shard… -Yeah. I know.

[Roman] Weak Kingsley. Cyberpsychosis.

Talia.

I gotta find D.

[music fades]

[poignant music playing]

[D] Shit! Capri, c'mon!

[seethes]

Huh?

[snorts]

[zapping]

[gasps]

Huh?

[gasps]

Huh?

-[people murmuring in fear] -[gasps]

[breathing unsteadily]

[people coughing and gasping]

[D breathing shakily]

[power humming rhythmically]

[gasps]

Huh?

What the fuck? [gasps]

[panting heavily]

[yelps]

Huh?

[music fades]

[gasps]

D! [panting]

Alam. I need you to gather your friends and come quickly.

[D] Capri!

Why the hell are you holdin' out?

You said your power was mine to use!

[low humming]

It's your loss.

If you won't hold up your end of the bargain, then I'm takin' you offline!

-You are… Capri, right? -[running footsteps]

-[Roman] D! -[gasps] Huh…

[Roman sighs]

What are you thinkin'?

[D gasps]

Did you really slot that shard again?

[D] It's mine!

You saw what happened to Talia.

You can't honestly believe it's safe.

Lemme borrow it for a while.

Maybe we can find out what it did to her.

Fuck that! Capri belongs to me.

But anything that we learn could save her life.

Apparently, she's not doing so good.

-[D] How's that my problem? -[Roman grunts]

Other than it being completely your fault?

-I didn't do that. It was Capri! -Capri did it?

Then what's she got to say about this? Huh?

[D] Uh…

[Roman] Well, come on! Spill! What's she got to say?

[breathing heavily]

Is your revenge worth this mess? [sobs]

[D sighs shakily]

D?

-Uh… [gasps] -[vehicles approaching]

[all whooping]

-[D] Roman! -[yelps]

-[music playing from car speakers] -[yelling]

[tires screeching]

Be sure to grab the little blond kid, too.

Take both alive.

-Isn't that-- -Stay behind me, 'kay?

What the hell do you want?

Cork it, punk! I was demoted on account of that little stunt you pulled.

But not for long! I'll be back in their good graces

after I bag you two rats!

Who gives a shit?

You should respecting your elders, boy.

Only if they fuckin' deserve it.

Hey, Capri! Now'd be a good time to lend a hand!

[heavy rock music playing]

[gang yelling]

Come on, not now!

-[Roman] Whoa! -[D] Huh?

-[Roman whimpers] -[man 1 cackles]

-[roars] -[Roman yelps]

-D! -[D] Get outta here!

He's a netrunner! Insert a jammer!

[Alam] There's a shard in his neuroport.

-So yank it, you moron! -[Alam grunts]

Wait! Stop that!

[groaning]

Capri!

[man 2 gasps and screams]

Huh?

-[Alam yelping] -[energy crackling]

[gasps]

[D] Hey, asshole.

Get up. Get up! Grab him!

-[D] Hah. -[tires squeal]

[screams]

[yells]

-[Alam yelps] -[D grunts]

[yelps]

[music fades]

[leader] Stop him! Kill him if you have to!

[woman, in Japanese] Die!

[screaming]

[D] You're in my way.

[whimpers]

You freak! Why can't I hit you? God damn it!

-[wails] -[zapping]

[screams]

[sobs]

No! [yelps]

You ready to talk this time, corpo?

[whimpers] Yes…

Louder!

[leader] Street trash…

[yelps]

[screaming]

[whimpering]

D.

-[leader sighs] -[D] Spill everything you know.

Or we go round two.

-Huh… -Talk!

[leader] You see this as revenge?

How misguided. [groans]

Who do you think is most responsible for the raid on your camp?

Meaning what, asshole?

Look to yourself.

If not for you, your clan might still exist.

The hell'd you just say?

You speak of revenge as if your family didn't die because of you.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about!

[leader] Their blood's on your hands!

-[heavy rock music playing] -[leader groans]

[D] Oh, shut up.

Shut up!

-[zapping] -[leader wailing]

That's enough, D!

-[leader screaming] -[Roman] Stop!

[screaming continues]

[music fades]

[screaming fades]

[Roman] Huh.

-[Capri giggles] -[Roman] Huh?

Huh.

[Capri laughing]

-[laughter echoing] -[D shudders]

[Roman sighs]

[Capri continues laughing]

[D] I had no choice.

[gasps] Huh?
