Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - AT YOUR OWN RISK - Divided by a Wall - full transcript

Thanks for the intel.

The Global Simultaneous Default
erased their debt, yet here they are.

Should've found something else
to pour their energy into.

The default didn't reset their lives,

so they want to take it out
on those beyond the gilded gates.

Can't say that I blame them.

So, how'd they get all the weapons?

About that...

Word is they have a patron called
the Good One-percenter.

A delivery service suddenly showed up
with the weapons two days ago.

The Good One-percenter?



He gave 'em an armored vehicle too?
What kind of nutjob does that?

Never found out how they communicated,
let alone his true identity.

Wish I'd peeked
inside their leader's cyberbrain.

I think I'm done here.

A think-tank is standing by up top.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Wait.

Hey, that's a damn guard dog robot!

Why didn't you warn us?

You blew it!

Our optical camouflage
doesn't seem to fool it.

It's got olfactory sensors.

AT YOUR OWN RISK
Divided by a Wall.

Looks like stealth entry is a no-go.



- Clown.
- On it!

Wait.

What the...?

Batou! Get moving!

- Clown, we'll take out those fools below.
- Roger!

Wait, who's Clown?

We got company.

Damn it.

Freakin' amateurs are scary!

Never know what they'll do.

Quit screwing around
and take out the rest!

Easier said than done.

Here goes nothing.

I really hate this thing.

This is bad. Get us out of here!

We lost most of our men!

This can't be a consumer model.

- Military grade?
- No doubt.

Major, we've got three inside.

Tachikoma!

Roger!

We have you surrounded.

Surrender peacefully!

We're totally surrounded.

The shit's really hit the fan.

We can't let the Good One-percenter's gift
go to waste!

What's going on?
They don't know how to drive?

Just a bit more! Buy us some time!

Back in business!

Major, we've got a problem.

No go. It's in my blind spot.

They've got a stealth drone?

Major! It's got a lock on us!

Die!

Major, it tapped into my satellite feed.

Saito!

Crap, I can't get through to Saito!

This is bad.

- Tachikoma!
- Roger!

Damn it! It has Hellfires?

That moneybags gave 'em those, too?

What the hell's
that one-percenter thinking?

They could've easily turned around
and attacked him!

At any rate, the armored car
isn't going anywhere.

Sorry to disappoint, but...

- Kickoff time again.
- All right.

Ishikawa, can't you hack into that thing?

No can do.

I'm getting intermittent signals,
but it's basically autonomous.

After it!

Batou, get the Stinger!

On it!

That thing's AI is pretty good!

Not bad for one-percenter lackeys.

Eat this!

We'll deal with them first.

Take that!

And that!

- You only score hits in video games?
- This thing doesn't have AI!

Damn it.

Major, I'm out of ammo!

Damn it. This isn't looking good!

Major, the drone's back.

Looks like optical camouflage
fools this one.

Didn't see this coming.

You think Saito's dead?

You would've been if it were you.

What?

Enter.

Excuse me, sir.

Seems time has toughed you up.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

It is if you want it to be.

Then thanks for the kind words.

"I made the right decision by choosing
this line of work

over my marriage."

That's what you're saying?

Perhaps.

Now...

about what I told you yesterday.

This is...

It was delivered directly to me
from Chris Teito,

our new Prime Minister as of last month.

"A Proposal on Reforming
Public Security Section 9."

They're bringing back Section 9?

Yes.

What's the PM's objective?

For one, those who take positions
of power want to give themselves

the weapons they'll need
to flex their muscles.

Makes sense.

Did the new PM learn
of Section 9's existence

from documents pertaining
to the Interior Ministry?

He served as an elected official
in America until age 30.

Such matters must be second nature to him.

But my takeaway from the proposal is this:

The PM's reason for the urgent reforming
of Section 9 takes priority

over his personal motives.

I believe his true objective is
meeting the Americans' demands

for the dispatch of special resources.

So it's as the Liberals feared?

An American-born prime minister
would be no more than an American puppet?

I've yet to meet him in person,
so I can't really say.

But this is an opportunity to have
the Major and the rest of you undertake

a major operation for me once more.

What sort of op?

Over the past few years,
I've searched for an answer

on how to deal with a society in turmoil.

I'd like you people to lay the groundwork

that will help the next generation
find that answer.

I don't know what a man
in my position can contribute,

but I'll humbly offer
whatever assistance I can.

You will?

Then get me the Major

and the six original members
of Section 9 asap.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Saito. Are you all right?

Mr. Saito? Where are you?

Four missiles left.

Major.

We caught up.

Good. Take it out!

Shit, they're targeting the drone!

Watch this.

Damn it.

Ishikawa.

Batou, optical camouflage
works against the drone.

Roger that!

Did they all croak?

If not, I'll do the honors.

Let me at 'em, Major!

- Fine.
- Hey, Major.

That thing won't stop
even if we take 'em out.

If a rocket is fired over that gate,

we lose.

So, we're all out of options?

Major, it's me.

Saito?

I almost forgot these things
are our protective outfits.

Saito, is your Stinger good to go?

- Yeah, locked and loaded.
- Good.

Saito gets to have all the fun.

Guess we get to nab
the jokers in there.

- Okay.
- Let's do this.

Open up or it ain't gonna be pretty!

You almost blew me to kingdom come!

Pay attention if you don't want
your ass blown off.

Saito! Can you catch up to it?

Already in firing range.

Good, do it!

It's even got flares?

Saito, force it lower.

Copy. I'll see what I can do.

- Another!
- You got it!

Hey, dropouts.

Order the drone to stand down.

I don't think so.

I'm willing die just to see
those one-percenters get blown to...

God damn it.

How're we gonna smack some sense
into these fools, Batou?

Not gonna happen, 'cause you people
are part of the problem!

Hey, asswipes.

Ever considered that you might live
on the other side of the wall someday?

That way of thinking's pointless.

All that's behind the wall
will soon disappear!

What's this bullshit?

It's a brave new world,
and we're taking it by the horns!

It's 'cause of crap like this...

you can't even get a job
as a parking valet.

It's heading your way.

Goddamn stubborn AI!

Tachikoma. Keep an eye on that thing.

Roger.

Let's head back.

Missed my chance to kill you.

You don't even get paid that much.

Why put your lives on the line?

It's not always about the money.

We're just using our skills
to do what we enjoy.

Then you're no different from us!

What?

You may be right.

Are you the leader, quarterback?

Yeah, but I'm actually a running back.

How'd you get that drone
and those Hellfires?

Not going to talk?

Major, we've got a problem!

We really screwed the pooch.

We did it!

We really did it!

I'm so sorry, Major!

This drone really seems
to hate one-percenters!

What the hell?

You really made a mess of things.

Drop your weapons and come along quietly.

You gotta be kidding me.

We've been doing your dirty work for you.
