Tokyo Override (2024) s01e06 Episode Script
Tokyo

[electronic bleeping]
[peaceful music playing]
Done.
Got it.
[Lizard] Look at the data from June 20th.
[Watari] What time?
Should be somewhere around 9:00 p.m.
Think I found something at 9:20.
It's damaged, though. Just a fragment.
[Spoke] Think we could restore it
with the other fragments?
Yeah.
Long as she found what I think she did.
[Father] Mm.
[Lizard] Normally,
when the Wall flags an irregularity,
it gets checked out
by a government official.
If nothing's found, it's treated
as a minor malfunction and deleted.
[Spoke] I guess that's what Ieuji meant
when she told you the incident
with the kid had been resolved.
[Lizard] Traces of the data remain
in digital Wall modules around the city.
If we locate those fragments
and restore them,
we can prove that Ieuji arbitrarily
eliminated a number of tagless persons.
Hmm. Well Watari!
Hmm. [gasps]
Bingo!
There's a record that matches
the tag of the ledger's owner.
Sweet!
[Spoke] Okay. We can use the ledger
as evidence then. Right?
[Lizard] Don't celebrate just yet.
You could still be arrested any moment,
or they could get wise
and delete the fragments.
We need to deliver this data
as quickly as we can.
[chuckles] Tough deliveries
are our specialty.
Good 'cause this won't be an easy one.
You'll have to upload the file directly
to the Digital Ministry's server.
[determined music playing]
- [engine starts]
- Let's go!
[grunts] You people
are out of your stinkin' gourds.
Trying to pull a fast one
on Tokyo's Traceability.
[music ends]
[bleeping]
Where are you?
Show yourselves.
Listen up! Our plan's a simple one.
Spoke and Watari will gather the data,
then pass it to Kai and Hugo,
who'll deliver it to the Digital Ministry.
- [Hugo groans]
- What is it? Are you still in pain?
Nah. I'm just fine.
Let's make Ieuji pay! Yeah?
[rock music playing]
[tires screech]
[Lizard] That's everything we're getting
from East. Move onto Mid!
[Father] Watari, Spoke,
link up with Hugo first.
- [Watari] Got it.
- [Father] Y'all cross the Wall together.
[Lizard] The Traceability network
is a lot tighter in Mid.
Don't assume you'll be able
to slip through that digital Wall cleanly.
[Hugo] Never tell me the odds!
It only gets me more excited.
[music fades]
Kai! You're up!
Here goes!
[Kai yells]
[chiming]
[Ieuji] Finally.
[chuckles]
- [Father] Damn it. You've been detected.
- What the hell?
Thought you were supposed
to be professionals!
Oh man!
They must've patched in an upgrade.
- Don't sweat. We're good.
- Huh. Heads up! They're on us.
[Father] Spoke and Watari
will keep 'em busy.
Hugo and Kai, stay on task.
[Ieuji] Where do they think they're going?
[enigmatic music playing]
[grunting]
[chuckles]
[groaning]
- [Kai] Hugo!
- [Hugo panting]
[Kai] They're catching up!
[Lizard] There's a narrow alley coming up
on your left soon. Turn into it.
[Hugo groaning]
[bleeping]
[Kai and Hugo grunt]
Ah!
Ha! Wow, it worked!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
[Father] Uh [clears throat]
Keep gathering data there in Mid, Watari.
Hugo and Kai, hurry up charge into West.
[Ieuji] They're moving into West now.
[computer voice] Detected
bypass transmissions between fugitives.
[Ieuji] The contents?
[computerized voice] Contents are unknown
as they have been encrypted,
but files of a certain size are being sent
to Kai Koguma at irregular intervals.
[gasps]
[Ieuji] They're taking data
from the Walls?
Oh!
I have new intel.
Fugitives are now hacking
the digital Walls with terroristic intent.
We need to shift
to counterterrorism protocols at once.
[computer voice]
Shifting to counterterrorism protocols.
They're a bunch of raccoons
nosing around in the trash.
[Hugo] Three hundred meters
to West District.
How you're ready 'cause security's
only gonna get tighter from here on out.
Whatever they throw at us,
we'll deal with it.
- Huh?
- What's wrong?
[Hugo chuckles] Just remembering
how nervous you used to get on deliveries.
- Now you're acting downright spunky!
- Shut up.
[Hugo chuckles]
[Watari] The roads
They're rerouting us!
Hmm?
[Kai] It's like the Tokyo Warp.
[intense music playing]
[Hugo] Damn that Ieuji.
I can't believe she's going this far!
[Ieuji chuckles] The Tokyo Warp exists
to test our emergency protocols,
so, when glitches like you appear,
the city's ready to debug.
[Hugo grunting]
- Damn! We're in trouble.
- [tires screech]
Uh!
Here too?
- Don't worry. You can cut left up there.
- Huh?
Here goes nothin'! Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Oh! 'Kay then. What's next?
[Kai] Stay straight
to take the expressway.
Expressway? What expressway?
Huh?
[chuckles] So what?
You can see the system's future now?
[ethereal synth-pop playing]
- [Kai] Just keep going straight!
- [Hugo] This is pretty dang cool, Kai!
I've been on some thrilling rides,
but this takes the cake.
[both whooping]
[laughing]
Oh! You're doing great. Keep it up.
[Ieuji] Ugh!
This case is as bad as I thought.
To remove these parasites
I'll have to cut into the host.
- [edgy dance music playing]
- [warning siren blares]
- [Hugo] Whoa.
- [Kai] Oh!
Huh?
- [music fades]
- [Hugo whimpers]
Kai! Hugo!
[both groaning]
- Ah!
- [Lizard snarls]
I'll be damned. That's one line
I didn't think she would cross.
Those who deviate from the system's norms
must be purged,
for that is the shortest route
to achieving optimization.
Oh
Hugo? Watari?
Huh?
[mysterious music playing]
Spoke?
- [gentle music playing]
- [metallic clattering]
[Hugo grunting]
Hugo! What are you doing?
[Hugo] This city takes care of us
just fine these days.
- No need for bikes.
- What are you talking about?!
We need our bikes
so we can keep doing our work!
People need our help.
What happened to delivering our hearts?!
- It's not as easy as it seems!
- Huh?
[Hugo] You saw. There's a price
for trying to live freely in this city.
We all risked our lives.
We delivered a kid to his death.
So why keep going?
[multiple voices in unison]
Why do you ride?
[Kai] Cut it out!
[electronic whirring, beeping]
[Hugo groaning]
Hugo!
It's okay.
Listen. I've gotta go right now.
[Hugo groans]
Also I need your bike.
Just hang tight. I'll send help.
Everybody's got their hands full.
Don't sweat it. It'll be okay.
[Kai straining]
[Hugo] Kai!
Take care.
And bring it back this time.
[energetic rock music playing]
Nice, Kai. Yeah.
That stubborn brat!
There's no place for you
on these roads, understand?
Not anywhere under my care!
Terrorists are planning an imminent attack
against the Digital Ministry's Justice Bureau.
Put the whole area on lockdown.
- [man 1] Close the gates.
- [man 2] Yes, sir.
This is too much, Kai.
They're gonna kick your ass!
[chuckles smugly]
Ah!
Ohhh!
[Ieuji] She made her own road?!
[gasps]
[Lizard] I think she's controlling it.
[Father] I knew she could hack,
but this is incredible!
[chuckles]
'Sup? Ready to go?
[laughs] I guess Kai called you.
[Hugo] When I grip the handles
of a motorcycle,
it's like I'm in complete control
of my fate.
Huh. [growls]
Uh Hey. What's she playin' at?
She's taking over. Overriding Tokyo.
Not far now.
This is the end.
Your joyride stops here.
Hah!
[gasps]
You're not gonna stop me. Nothing will!
Hmm?
[Kai] Right now, I just wanna ride.
Tagless or not,
I wanna ride fast and free.
Unstoppable!
[rock music builds]
Oh!
Hey, Mommy, see. What is that?
[computer voice] Major anomaly
detected within Traceability.
- [alarm buzzing]
- [computer voice] System error.
System error.
- [alarm buzzing]
- [gasping]
Agh!
[grunts] Ah!
[groaning]
Oh!
[disconcerting electronic music building]
[music becomes serene]
[yelling]
[screams]
[triumphant music playing]
- [music fades]
- [gasps]
[Ieuji whimpering]
Oh.
[panting]
[solemn music playing]
[Ieuji] Kai Koguma.
What are you doing? Stop!
Ah!
[triumphant string music playing]
Delivery.
I came here to make one.
Huh? Did she do it?
[Watari] Uh Ah
[Hugo] Not too shabby, Kai.
[laughs heartily]
[man] Days ago, rapid-onset contortions
disturbed roadways
and disrupted traffic throughout the city.
The Digital Ministry states
that this Tokyo Turmoil incident
was caused by a basic system error.
The system has been updated,
and no further problems
have been reported.
[somber music playing]
What is it? You want something?
Well, before you piss off to wherever,
I figured I'd ask about your motive.
[Ieuji] As a member of Tokyo's government,
my only objective
is to make this city better.
[Lizard] You really expect me to believe
that's why you supported
a drug-trafficking ring?
You've got the blood of children
on your hands!
Yes because that was
the most efficient course
towards maintaining an optimized city.
When tuning the city's systems,
we sometimes have to take unusual measures
to reduce variability.
A Narcotics officer who failed
to trace a single dealer for so long
should understand.
[scoffs]
Yeah, that brings me to how you played
with the city like a kid in a sandbox.
You should be behind bars!
[Ieuji] The decision to acquit me
came from the system itself.
It stated that attempting to account for
and adjust to my actions
would cause an overload.
Well, now that the system's
let you off the hook,
what exactly do you plan to do?
[Ieuji] I may have my freedom,
but I can't imagine an algorithm
that could make this
a fact worth celebrating.
Have any advice for me, Mr. Kageyama?
[scoffs]
Hell no. Your life ain't mine.
Work it out for yourself.
[Ieuji] I suppose I must. Goodbye.
[grunts softly]
[sighs]
[music fades out]
[foghorn blares]
SUMA GARAGE
I'm back!
- Oh! Welcome home.
- Hey!
Hi! Welcome in.
Kai, good work today.
That was today's last delivery.
Go get some rest.
- [Kai] 'Kay.
- [Father] Food's ready when you are!
[Kai] Thanks. I'll be a minute.
I'm a bit worried about the tuning.
Hey, guys,
could one of you give me a hand?
- I feel like the suspension
- Here.
We're busy. Do it yourself.
Be nice.
Though, come to think of it, he's right.
I'm pretty sure you know what to do.
[Spoke chuckles softly]
[buoyant guitar music playing]
[Kai] Points on points on points.
Tokyo, the point where points converge.
Even in the city where everything
that matters is tracked in the cloud,
you can find us.
Clusters of points that aren't optimized.
Oh, Kai. Where you headed to?
I haven't decided yet.
[chuckles]
See you later.
[distant engine revving]
Mm.
[Kai] All I want now
is to feel the wind as I ride
down a road I chose for myself.
