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.

f*ck that.

A little metal ain't gonna be enough to...

Maine?

Hey! Maine!

f*ck off! Ain't nobody
gonna set my limits but me.

Made it this g*dd*mn far without trouble.

I ain't about to backtrack now!

Where's our f*cking 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! sh*t! What're you...

Hey!

Kiwi? Falco?

You back with us?

- Dorio?
- sh*t...

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 f*ck, 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 sh*t.
- 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.

f*ck 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 f*cking change.

Think you're hot sh*t
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 f*ck 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 k*ll 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... sh*t. 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 f*ck you staring at, Faraday?

It's glitching out...

sh*t, 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 f*ck is this?
- Why is he awake?

Where's the damn tranq... Get him!

What? The f*ck 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 f*ck were you thinking?

Me? What the f*ck were you thinking?
Were you doing?

What the hell did you say?

Punching out Kiwi.
Dropping all this sh*t on Lucy.

You were the one f*cking around. The f*ck!

Don't you start, kid.

Maine! David!

Jammer got fried when Tanaka flatlined!

The Trauma Team caught the f*cking sig!

Motherfuck!

David, we got... You hear me?

- Now prepare the wheels! Quick!
- [crashing[

Get it together, David!

You signed up for this sh*t, do it!

Wait in the ride. We'll catch up.

Got it!

f*cking Platinum premium plan service...

Dorio!

Registering g*nf*re
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...

f*ck. We're definitely
on Arasaka's radar now.

Maine! Your meds!
Don't forget them.

Just took a sh*t!

Don't move!

f*ck! Why's NCPD always fast
when it comes to us?

Back up! Go to the back!

sh*t! 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...

Lucy?

Aren't you gonna say

that you believe in me, too?

The f*ck you doing, Maine?

Get it together...

sh*t! That f*cking gonk...

- Hold your fire!
- Huh?

He's got a platinum client hostage!

Not our problem!

Dorio...

Maine... I'm on my way.

Just...

Just tell me I can do this.

Is this... Is this my fault?

Freeze! Weapons down,
hands behind your head!

Last warning!

Platinum client confirmed dead.

Hey.

This mess my fault?

It's cyberpsychosis!

- Flag MaxTac now...
- He's k*lling us!

Client has flatlined. Evacuate!

What the f*ck, we're leaving?

Client policy's void!

- This is your problem now!
- f*ck that!

He's here! Let's go!

sh*t!

David... You're hearing me?

Maine's gone full psycho.

They've called in MaxTac.
Turn around. Come back...

Maine...

Oh. Hey, kid.

You holding up alright?

Maine, I came to back you up...

Dorio's dead.

- She didn't make it.
- Huh?

What are you doing?

The last thing I can do for her.

We gotta Delta.

Or we'll end up like her!

No more running for me, doug.

The reaper's finally calling my name.

What are you saying?

It's okay. I'll fight with you.

David...

I've made up my mind. I got your back!
I'm getting you out of this, Maine!

Damn it! Stop shaking!

MaxTac, you freak! Come and get us!
Just f*cking try!

I want to save you.
We're getting out of here, Maine.

You and me. And then...

David.

You can't do it.

I don't... Why would you...

Why...

This is it.

It's the end of the line for me.

But not for you.

Fast is what you do best, ain't it?

Just keep running.
