00:00I'm gonna go get some sleep.
00:22Nanowancing your pants, Julio?
00:23No way!
00:24Well, Kako's bitch, right?
00:25Newbie boop she stuck us with.
00:26Heard you're David's fan.
00:27Yeah, yeah.
00:28What do you mean, stuck with us?
00:29Wow.
00:30Hear that?
00:31You actually have fans now.
00:32Probably cause you got all swole.
00:33Got iron?
00:34Carrion, right?
00:35Yeah, kind of Lexington.
00:36Doesn't cut it.
00:37A peashooter like that won't even dent Maelstrom metal.
00:38Try this one out.
00:39Seriously, Chum?
00:40A Satora?
00:41Fuck me!
00:42Elba!
00:43Fuck me!
00:44Elba!
00:45Fuck me!
00:46Fuck me!
00:47Fuck me!
00:48Fuck me!
00:49Fuck me!
00:50Fuck me!
00:51Fuck me!
00:52Fuck me!
00:53Fuck me!
00:54Fuck me!
00:55Fuck me!
00:57Tag shotties, man!
00:59Primus.
01:00El!
01:01Charge up shots!
01:02Oh yeah!
01:10Watch my knees!
01:11Weak knees!
01:12There's one more!
01:13Why?!
01:14Just remember to stay behind me, and be smart.
01:17Don't rush.
01:18You mean you want me to take her here?
01:19Hey, I ain't no noob man!
01:22Attention, ladies.
01:23We're about a minute out now.
01:55Fire, fire
02:25Fire is out of control
02:29I burn it, I burn it, I burn it, I burn it down
02:42I burn it, I burn it, I burn it, I burn it down
02:55We've got a small army on our hands. Heaps of iron, and turrets. Multiples. Camping them
03:05all for quick hacks. Not enough time. Front door's a dead zone, that's crystal. So plan
03:09B? Find the back door, definitely. Easy-peasy. Plan C's my pick. Agreed. No backdoor swoopin'?
03:16Why? Knock yourself out. Get to it. Hey, wait! Don't leave me! Front door solved, looks like
03:22to me. You think? Ah, neat brain move. Hey, who ordered lunch meat? You widdle babies,
03:31Maus! Think you're here to start something? You bloodbags wanna get popped? Better start
03:38talking now, scumbag, for I drill you a fresh eye-hole! You better stop, for I do the same.
03:45Yee-haw! Target complete. Short circuit incoming. Done. Not a millisec to spare, Mr. Plan C.
03:54Mom, I got a runner!
04:06I don't wanna die now! Damn, missed a few. All yours.
04:10C'mon, c'mon, let's go! Let's run dry!
04:14Got a little VGN attitude, sucker!
04:17And now here comes the big guns!
04:22A goddamn turret?
04:25Kiwi.
04:26Hey, water's drippin'!
04:29Clean's Kiwi, decent Kiwi.
04:41Tiny birds, aren't you scared?
04:47Yo, the fuck? Is that human?
04:59Did you never learn to fly?
05:11Time for me to teach you!
05:28No thanks, Choom. I know how to fly just fine.
05:33Ho-ho! Nova!
05:37Those your fancy new leg implants? Lookin' damn good!
05:41No more, all clear. Last one. Room behind you, target's there. Her, others too. All friendlies.
05:47Roger, roger.
05:48Yo, back room! On it!
05:50Wait, Julio! Watch out for-
05:52Super!
05:54Watch out for-
05:55Super!
06:08Isabella Morgan, you in here?
06:12I'm here cause your dad put out an SOS. You're safe now.
06:17What?
06:23Well, cock out there.
06:25You've safely secured the target, I hear. Our client will be pleased.
06:30Yes, that Isabella was safe, not not butchered like cattle.
06:33Just did my part.
06:34Yes, most impressive, true. The rumors of you prove true.
06:38Oh, sorry about Julio.
06:40Oh, do not apologize. The boy, fool, insisted on the work with you. Not ready, I said. Not ready indeed.
06:47Any new lead I get, we will be in touch, David.
06:50Yeah, good doing this.
07:03Thank you kindly.
07:04Appreciate the ride, Falco. Really.
07:07Always happy to keep the engine warm.
07:10Come on, dependable wheelmen are hard to find.
07:13Oh, not sure about that. Gathered yourself quite the fan club.
07:17Oh, Julio, you mean?
07:19Knew that goose was bluffing the moment we met.
07:24We'd land better talent if we were all vets. Not everyone's like Maine, willing to take a chance on us.
07:30Have to admit, when I got the call, I took you for a pushy punk wannabe. Truth is, you were.
07:39But now, well, expect you'll fly higher than Maine ever did.
07:47Right, gonna roll forth as turns to goop. Buzz me for your next big gig, huh?
07:52Till then. Later, David. Kiwi.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Later.
07:59Honestly, doubted you had it in you to take the reins.
08:04Could not. Not without the city's primus runner.
08:07No, you don't mean me. Where is she? Been asking her?
08:14Not anymore. Kinda gave up trying.
08:18Never begged her as a type to get all shook up.
08:22More on what happened to Maine and Dorio's at play, I think.
08:27At the warehouse, Lucy was acting... I don't know, strange?
08:31Strange how?
08:33Needless to say, whole thing's kind of a blur. It might have been nothing.
08:40By the way, wasn't it you who brought Lucy on board, found her a spot in the crew?
08:45That's right.
08:46She, like, ever talk to you about her past or anything?
08:49Most of the saps in our league don't bring up the old days. Shame, greed, something to prove.
08:56Whatever. Whether you're looking for a way out or a way up, doesn't matter.
09:04Yo, yo, yo! David, five-on-five!
09:07Snagging old hat, keeping you off the dance floor!
09:12Although some edge runners died more ashamed than they started with.
09:16Yo, it ain't right to bam out the dead. It's not my bro's fault he got zeroed by some bare-ticked psycho.
09:22But whatevs! You ever seen David dance? It's a riot.
09:26Sounds preem. I think I'm gonna bounce. Gotta stop by Doc's.
09:30Seriously? Again? Then tell that bastard you desperately need a dance chip!
09:35Will do.
09:36The laser pop hip grind!
09:37See ya.
09:40Hey! I ain't good at playing just friends!
09:44Considered shaking up your approach?
09:46Yeah, how you figure. Instead of hot and loud, I try cold, distant, and nerdy.
09:54It's an oversized fossil. Arm socket connectors warped.
09:58Jamming that fucker in was a miracle.
10:01My advice? Trash it. Got all kinds of next-gen chroma back.
10:05I know you got the scratch.
10:07Nah, this one's good.
10:09Fine. It's your funeral.
10:12Got any fresh muscle reinforcers? Kiroshi's new model, maybe?
10:16Excuse me, didn't know I had a chrome jack on my table.
10:19Aw, come on, I'm not.
10:20You need to chill, chum. Lest you want a strict diet of immunoblockers.
10:25I'm doing just fine, Doc. Better than fine, actually.
10:29It's like, I feel better in metal than in my own skin.
10:32Well, your affinity for cyberware's fuckin' nuts, I'll grant you that.
10:36Ain't never seen a kid borg out quite like this.
10:39Lotta other peeps woulda cracked by now.
10:42Believe yourself to be special?
10:44Must just be special, I guess.
10:46Ha! Makes you Adam Smasher 2.0, chum.
10:50Adam who?
10:51Christ. All this time, and you're still a fuckin' noob.
10:54Adam Smasher, name to know.
10:57To some, a hero of the Fourth Corporate War.
11:01To others, a fully borg boogeyman, a walking nightmare.
11:05But to all, a living legend. Ask anyone.
11:09What kind of legend?
11:11The kind that fills graveyards on Arasaka's orders.
11:15An urban myth, that's all.
11:18Kiwi.
11:20What? What's up?
11:22Afterlife. Stop by. Can you come?
11:25Party's rolling. Part a bar. How many now?
11:27No, no. Possible client. Wants to meet you.
11:30David.
11:31Yo. Sup, Kiwi.
11:34Good luck.
11:36I believe this is the first we've met, Mr. Martinez.
11:40Not exactly. Saw you swing by once to talk to me.
11:44Indeed. Well, it's a pleasure.
11:47The name's Faraday.
11:52Got a job for me?
11:54Where's the fire? Let me buy you a drink.
11:58I've heard a great deal about you.
12:01You're building quite the reputation.
12:04The Sandevistan from Santo is one name I've heard.
12:08Got more than just the Sandy now.
12:10True. It's difficult to spy the Gannik amidst all that steel.
12:15Mane and I had an arrangement, as you may know.
12:19I heard about it.
12:20He understood the need for crew chemistry.
12:23Yeah.
12:24But as you know, the Gannik is a man of few words.
12:29Yeah.
12:30But as you saw, his flaw was in personal attachment.
12:34Familiarity muddies the mind, leads to ruin.
12:38I hear you're also a team builder.
12:41Keep biz and private separate, if that's what you mean.
12:44I need convincing that you can work at Mane's level, deliver as he did.
12:49A test?
12:50You're welcome to think of it that way.
12:53Test all you want, but we don't do jobs on the cheap.
12:56I assure you, nothing from my desk is cheap.
13:06A job for Militech?
13:08Our Asaka's bitter rival.
13:10Megacorps offer the most lucrative contracts, that's no great secret.
13:14Do you foresee a problem with this?
13:18Not at all.
13:19That's what I like to hear.
13:21There's a contract I'd like you to take over.
13:24It should seem familiar.
13:26You talking about Tanaka, the data heist gig?
13:29I received a report that Tanaka possessed no relevant data.
13:33Yeah.
13:34But I also learned how you managed to pierce our Asaka's ice.
13:38A new netrunner on the crew cracked it, and without Kiwi's help.
13:42True. Our crew has had some luck with runners lately.
13:45Excellent. However, I hear she's gone dark.
13:49Yeah, been taking a break since that gig.
13:52And why? Such a waste of talent, potential.
13:56Her heart's just not in it.
13:58I suggest you give her a nudge in the right direction.
14:01Easier said than done.
14:05But our Asaka knows Militech's after him, ain't that right?
14:09Them and everyone else.
14:11So what's Militech after that they'd risk such a ballsy move?
14:14That is for me to know.
14:16It is certainly no concern of yours.
14:18Unneeded details also muddy the mind.
14:21Learn anything new that might help us?
14:23I'm afraid not. But good things come to those who act.
14:27First, prove you're worth my time.
14:41You're home.
14:46Pretty late.
14:48Got a little caught up.
14:51Victory lap at Minjun's?
14:53Mm-hmm.
14:54Any hiccups today?
14:56We did lose someone, yeah.
14:58Who?
14:59Rookie Solo, Wakako's.
15:02But everything else went all right?
15:05Nothing tricky. Kid just got excited. Hasty.
15:08Now why's that sound familiar?
15:11Watch it.
15:14Hey.
15:16Landed something pretty big for us today.
15:18Sounds like fun.
15:20So, um, have you considered coming back to the crew?
15:23Two Netrunners on one team sounds like a crowd.
15:26Lucy, we both know I'd always rather have you around.
15:30Please, David.
15:31Huh?
15:32I just need a little more time.
15:36Of course. No problem.
15:39More diving today?
15:41Mm-hmm.
15:42Buy a runner suit, why don't you?
15:44Don't need one.
15:46Should get you a new chair, at least.
15:48That ice bath can't be comfy.
15:51Thanks, but never liked chairs.
15:53Suits.
15:55Oh. Sorry, didn't know that.
16:02David.
16:04Huh?
16:05Come on.
16:14Whoa, look at all those stars!
16:16Can't get a view like this in the city.
16:19Maybe I'll catch one.
16:20You're lucky you're cute.
16:22Sure wish the moon was out.
16:24You can see the stars better, brighter when it stays away.
16:27Really?
16:28Really, really. The moon outshines them.
16:31Man, you sure you went to Arasaka Academy?
16:34Dropped out, remember?
16:35Ah, right.
16:37You know, I've never been outside the city before.
16:40Is that right?
16:43But you have? Had a life outside Night City once?
16:50Looks like a prison from here. A cage of light.
16:56Might not remember.
17:00Said once you and I were worlds apart.
17:04Yeah.
17:05What'd you mean by that?
17:08Rather not say?
17:12You'd rather not hear.
17:14It's just... I'd like to know more about you.
17:21Arasaka.
17:23Arasaka?
17:24Yep.
17:25I was born in another country, raised in an Arasaka facility.
17:30There were 13 of us.
17:31Kids who passed a proficiency test were tagged to become Netrunners.
17:35Kids who wouldn't be missed anywhere else.
17:38We'll serve the world's most powerful megacorp one day.
17:42That dream got us through the toughest days, the toughest training.
17:47It's the dream we were given.
17:49A dream we never questioned.
17:51One day, training was done.
17:54We expected corp assignments the world over.
17:58Instead, they moved us underground.
18:01Instead, they moved us underground.
18:04And day in, day out, they forced us to dive.
18:08Old Nets were they sent us.
18:11Wait, the Old Net?
18:13But I thought that whole system collapsed something like 50 years ago, didn't it?
18:18Brought down by history's greatest Netrunner, creator of daemons.
18:22He was a true savant, super hacker, legend Rache Bartmoss.
18:26Oh shit, yeah.
18:28The guy corrupted like 78% of the global Net in a single day.
18:32Mm-hmm.
18:33Data crash virus.
18:34Shattered cyberspace.
18:36Broke the Net into a scattered mosaic of isolated local Nets.
18:40Connections severed.
18:41Data lost.
18:42It was chaos.
18:44Arasaka's purpose lies somewhere in the Old Net.
18:47They're searching for legacy info.
18:49Lost knowledge.
18:51All of us kids, we were soldiers sent into a nest of daemons and feral AIs.
18:57Only an advanced runner can interface using their whole mind.
19:01A deep dive.
19:03It gives shape and form to cyberspace.
19:05A way to traverse it.
19:07But whenever we uncovered any rare data cache...
19:14Rogue AIs would find us and swarm.
19:19We were picked off one by one.
19:22More empty chairs after each dive.
19:25And my hope each dive would be my last.
19:28Wasn't long before there were only a handful of us left.
19:32We were chasing someone else's dream.
19:34Throwing down our lives to do it.
19:36So we realized, if we're goners, why not die chasing our own dream?
19:42The tech staff didn't stand a chance.
19:44Not in the face of the skills they'd taught us.
19:56I ran and ran.
19:58Heard shots.
19:59My friends' screams.
20:01But I never looked back.
20:11Next clear memory I have is of a junkyard.
20:15Home, I guess.
20:17But I was too scared to stay long.
20:19I roamed, place to place.
20:25But there's no place like Night City if you want to hide.
20:29And even now, still feel like they're chasing you?
20:32Not really, I guess.
20:34Maybe I've just grown too comfortable here.
20:37Or maybe I've grown used to being scared.
20:41Your hand...
20:43It's nothing. It'll be fine in a sec.
20:46Haven't changed, have you?
20:48Still chasing someone else's dream.
20:55It's not like I don't understand.
21:00Just that... that things are different now.
21:03Can't be afraid for myself anymore.
21:05All I fear now is... someday you'll...
21:18Yes, I managed to retrieve most of the data.
21:21But the vitals file for one of the test subjects was completely corrupted.
21:27Yes, manipulated deliberately.
21:29No trace in the ice, no.
21:32But this level of precision...
21:34Well, there's only a handful of Netrunners capable of it.
21:38No, I don't believe that.
21:40Tanaka had no reason to do so.
21:42My assumption, his system was breached when he was captured.
21:46Understood. I'll do what I can to restore it.
21:50Goodbye.
