Good morning, Night City!
Rise and shine
for a new day in the City of Dreams
Gonna be late to work again today.
We've got gonks dreaming
of becoming the next Weyland Boa Boa
jamming up traffic for the rest of us!
What is it about this City
that keeps attracting
Never fear the risk!
That's right
It's
Maine.
When did you last snarf anything? Here.
Damn it, you're shaking. All that chrome's
messing with your nerves.
When this is all over, gotta refit,
go lights back, reduce your load.
It's just some jitters.
There's nothing to worry about.
You can't keep this up, babe.
Fuck that.
A little metal ain't gonna be enough to
Maine?
Hey! Maine!
Fuck off! Ain't nobody
gonna set my limits but me.
Made it this goddamn far without trouble.
I ain't about to backtrack now!
Where's our fucking data?
Kiwi's mid-dive, can't rush her.
You know that!
ICE is harder to break through
than I thought it'll be.
Maine! Stop! Shit! What're you
Hey!
Kiwi? Falco?
You back with us?
- Dorio?
- Shit
What gives? What the hell happened?
We got jumped?
And what happened to Kiwi
The forecast
shows heavy rainfall along the coast.
Districts like Santo Domingo
and Westbrook
are most heavily affected
and are likely to see showers
from midnight to sunrise
So take the proper precautions.
What the fuck, Falco?
You can't just drop by and not
Ask Maine? Why? You're here.
So just tell me Hey! Huh?
- I can't believe this shit.
- Huh?
You're saying Kiwi's out of commission?
How?
She was working Tanaka, right?
Something go way south?
You should ask the gonk next to me.
Fuck off.
Maine punched her out when she ran
into some ICE that snagged her. Lost it.
- Huh?
- To me, Maine needs his head checked.
Easy, Maine, if you start losing it
Hey
"Losing it"?
That's right. Cyberpsychosis.
Maine, hold up!
Uh Hey.
Dorio just told me. You know But
You're gonna be all right, right?
You're not gonna end up like
All right?
What's that mean, "all right"? Huh, kid?
Not a cyber psycho?
What? You think I might be losing my grip?
Maine, I didn't mean to
Give me a solid, lay off.
Mind your own biz for a fucking change.
Think you're hot shit
because you're faster than me?
Because you're sporting a Sandevistan?
Well, that was supposed to be mine.
I already made it this far.
I won't do it. Ain't no way
I'm gonna start downgrading. Not now.
Can't stop hunting. No turning back.
NCPD probably
snooped out our trail already.
We only got until morning, if that.
You hearing me?
I told you no!
You're the one that needs to listen!
He's Arasaka
Let's call it off.
Let's go home, Lucy.
Don't gotta do nothing if you don't wanna.
Stay out of this, David!
We can drop Tanaka where we nabbed him.
Pretend none of this happened
from the start.
You better knock it off!
Hey! I'm not done with you!
David Tell me I can do it.
- What But I thought you didn't wanna
- Say it!
You
You don't get it. You don't understand.
We can't just leave.
Arasaka is always watching.
Always. We can't just call it off.
We don't have a choice. I know that.
I just
I need to hear you say it.
Please
Look. I'm sorry. But I
I need you to do this.
I believe in you, Lucy.
- Fine. I'll do it.
- What?
But David has to come with me.
And Maine? He can't be in the room.
My conditions. Take it or leave it.
Fine. Whatever.
But you'll have to keep us in the loop.
Ping us every quarter hour.
You've got until dawn.
Don't fuck this up!
David! Where's the lead head?
Hell, if I know.
Maine!
Huh?
Dorio
Hey, wouldn't it be safer
to have Dorio as backup?
Grow a spine.
Like why didn't you
You could've told me earlier.
And I don't get it,
why we gotta do this alone?
David.
Can I ask you something?
Uh, deep-dive port
Why did you hide it? Keep it a secret?
Jacking in now
David
Yeah?
I'm going in.
The fact that there's a trap here
means there's gotta be a way
to get inside.
Alright, okay. Maine. Where's he?
Maine? Cooling off.
Hey, Dorio You sure we gotta
- Huh?
- No, forget it. Never mind.
Are we gonna kill him?
We need a Plan B
just in case she doesn't make it.
Plan A, B, or Z.
It should've never have to come to this.
Huh?
Yeah, what? What do you want?
The data. Do you have it?
We're working on it.
A delay? Who's this on?
Christ, what? Twenty questions?
Transparency, Maine. What you, we agreed.
Huh?
And Kiwi? Can you do it without her?
How Shit. Falco talked.
You're willing to bet everything
on a backup runner?
Absolutely.
Tick tock, Maine.
Arasake is still short one executive.
I trust you understand.
There is no room for error.
Made that clear.
What?
The fuck you staring at, Faraday?
It's glitching out
Shit, really? Now of all times!
Wait Wait, please!
David!
Maine! Snap out of it!
Hey!
He's waking up!
What are you doing, David?
I was right, it was you You're David
You know my name?
There is much I know about you.
The incident of my son at the Academy
Despite that,
I was the one who insisted
that you be readmitted at once.
You did?
Please, David.
You can help to stop all of this.
I'm begging you. I do not wish to die.
- We just need the data. We're not
- You're so naive, boy!
I've seen their faces!
You think Arasaka won't hunt them down?
Just think. Why would I revoke
your expulsion after what happened?
You have demonstrated unique potential.
Arasaka sees in you a valuable asset.
A rich, bright future awaits you, David!
Do not throw your life away!
Bingo.
I can't let you go. I just can't.
Then get in contact with Arasaka.
This madness can all be over
in less than five minutes.
That's not what I mean!
I can't do that to my crew.
Foolish boy!
Can you not see that they're using you?
And Arasaka won't?
You are blind.
You still don't get it. Who do you think
paid to make your stunt possible?
It is the Militech.
All roads lead to the megacorps.
No matter how high you rise,
or you believe you can,
you will never escape our shadow.
But that's
David, you there?
Martinez. Tell me
Just tell me what is it you want?
What I want?
- David! What the fuck is this?
- Why is he awake?
Where's the damn tranq Get him!
What? The fuck was that?
No!
He kicks it! This is over!
Hey, David!
Snap out of it, damn it!
You were the one who got her in, right?
So yank her out!
Dorio!
Lucy's still stuck in deep-dive!
- Are you kidding me?
- Come on, hurry! Just cut the link!
Okay! Pull her now!
How's the data?
You jabbed him after he flatlined
so it's probably fine.
David!
Yeah, Lucy's all right
Start talking!
What the fuck were you thinking?
Me? What the fuck were you thinking?
Were you doing?
What the hell did you say?
Punching out Kiwi.
Dropping all this shit on Lucy.
You were the one fucking around. The fuck!
Don't you start, kid.

Jammer got fried when Tanaka flatlined!
The Trauma Team caught the fucking sig!

Wait in the ride. We'll catch up.

Fucking Platinum premium plan service
Dorio!
Registering gunfire
in the service area.
Possible hostiles present.
Requesting NCPD backup in force.
- David?
- Lucy! You okay?
What's going on? What happened?
Tanaka came too, then he short-circuited
for some reason.
Something strange happen
while you were under?
Maine and Dorio, where are they?
They're already moving Tanaka.
But he's dead.
- We saved him.
- What? Why?
What do you mean?
We still need the data.
But there's no point. Tanaka was a bust!
There was no data.
It can't be
Fuck. We're definitely
on Arasaka's radar now.
Maine! Your meds!
Don't forget them.
Just took a shot!
Don't move!
Fuck! Why's NCPD always fast
when it comes to us?
Back up! Go to the back!
Shit! He won't pick up!
David!
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to help them.
Dumbass!
What if they slip out another way?
We wait here.
- No! I can't wait!
- David!
What's got you so spooked?
They should be back now. Something's off.
Wait! I got another sig.
Not just NCPD. Trauma's here too.
It means they're surrounded.
Then we gotta help.
No, you can't!
You got a death wish?
It'll be okay. I'll come back.
Listen
The situation looks bad,
no matter how you slice it.
We need to cut our losses and run.
You hear them fighting, don't you?
They're still alive in there!
You're sure not acting yourself today,
Lucy.
You saw something in there, didn't you?
In Tanaka's neural net
I just I only wanted
