When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major Kusanagi is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major Kusanagi discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen.

IN THE FUTURE, THE LINE BETWEEN

HUMAN AND MACHINE...

IS DISAPPEARING.

ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY ALLOW

HUMANS TO ENHANCE THEMSELVES...

WITH CYBERNETIC PARTS.

HANKA ROBOTICS,

FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT...

It is developing a military operative...

That will blur the line even further.

By transplanting a human brain

into a fully synthetic body...

They will combine the strongest attributes

of Human and Robot.

PROJECT 2571

Oxygen levels are dropping

brain function normal.

Robotic skeleton prepared

and waiting for Brain Conversion.

Initiate Project 2571.

Now your eyes are gonna open.

You are safe.

It's ok, just breathe.

Just breathe.

Breathe.

Good.

That's good.

Hello Mia.

I'm Dr.. Ouelet.

Do you remember anything about the attack?

What happened?

I was...

You were drowning.

There was water.

That's right. You were on a boat,

a refugee boat.

It was sank by terrorists.

Why can't I feel my body?

Mira, your body was damaged.

We could not save that.

Only your brain survived.

We made you a new body.

A synthetic shell.

But your mind, your soul...

Your ghost.

It's still in there.

Please.

Sedate her.

Will it work?

Absolutely.

She's a miracle.

A machine can't lead,

It can only follow orders.

A machine can't imagine or care or intuit.

But as a human mind in

a cybernetic frame...

Mira can do all those things, and more.

The first of her kind.

She will join Section 9

as soon as she is operational.

Please don't do that.

You reducing a complex human to a machine.

I don't think of her as a machine.

She is a weapon.

And the future of my company.

ONE YEAR LATER:

The first artificially created

memory enhancement.

Sirenum training protocol is the

fastest and most efficient way...

to develop your ability.

Stronger than ever. Experience your power.

Cybercrime is a Type 1 offense.

Minimum punishment: 15 years in prison.

Hanka Robotics guarantees

personal safety against.

All patrolling area units, be advised

possible cybercrime activity in vicinity.

Airspace in adjoining areas

will be locked down.

Section 9 is currently on site.

I repeat:
All patrolling area units,

be advised, possible cyber crime...

This is major. I'm on site.

Awaiting instructions.

Analyze and report.

I'm human, I am flawed.

But I embrace change...

and enhancement.

Now there is nothing I can't do.

Nothing I can't know, nothing I can't be.

Wait and listen to something.

It's my 4 year old daughter.

In the time it took her

to sing that lullaby

she learned to speak fluent French.

Do you know that song...?

There is an echo box up here.

Someone is scanning data traffic.

Keeps track of where it is transmitted.

To see who's worth

this kind of surveillance.

Accessing hotel security network.

What're you seeing, sir?

I've got a lot of hotel to scan.

There is a banquet room reserved for

the President of the African Federation.

Dr. Osmond is invited

on behalf of Hanka Robotics.

Got it. 43rd floor.

Someone contacted the president staff.

Someone is watching him.

Dr. Osmond...

What is it you want from us?

I think it is more about what

Hanka Robotics can do for you.

73% of this world has woken up

to the age of cyber enhancement.

Do you really wanna be left behind?

My people embrace cyber enhancement

as do I.

There is no one who really

understand the risk...

To individuality, identity,

messing with the human soul.

Gentlemen, Excuse me,

I think you've the wrong...

Hallway. Six men. Shots fired.

Section 9 ETA?

- Two minutes out, Major.

- Too long.

I'm going in.

Hold!

Mayor, stop!

I had heard this speech before

from your competitors.

And now Hanka Robotics

serves it with Milky suck.

Look. This is what I'm talking about.

Mayor!

Initiate..

The hack.

Help me. Please. Don't let me die.

Who sent you?

Help me. Please.

Answer me!

Collaborates with Hanka Robotics

will be destroyed.

You okay?

You're injured.

You're not the same.

Hey.

It's just a robot!

Your skin deserves the best, so do you.

Try our hand cream.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE,

CENTRAL OFFICE, SECTION 9

So what do we have on Osmond?

So far, very little.

He was the head of Hanka's

robotics division.

Human, but of course cyber enhanced.

So how did they hack him?

Somehow this geisha bot

got past his encryption.

Something is different.

What'd you get?

Why you always thinking

he's out there enhancing.

Because he is.

A cyber mech liver.

Been saving up for a while.

Now it's lost cool every night.

You got enhanced

so you can drink more?

Embrace enhancements, Togusa.

We would not be here without it.

I am all human and happy, thanks.

Any more information

about the seized geisha bot?

Hanka is running scans.

Dr. Dahlin will have the

reports ready but...

I've been talking to the Prime Minister.

He wants a full report.

Togusa.

Following last night's attack...

3 more Hanka's scientists were murdered...

in the company's central laboratory.

The first two were shot...

and the third was beaten to death

by his own service robot.

All showed signs of cerebral hacking.

The same as the geisha did to Osmond.

And all were senior figures... in Hanka.

Just like Osmond.

A message was left

at each of the crime scene...

By someone identifying himself...

as Kuze.

Collaborate with Hanka Robotics

should be destroyed.

Collaborate with Hanka Robotics...

should be destroyed.

Togusa.

You and Ladriya go speak to Mr. Cutter,

the CEO of Hanka.

Major and Batou

take a look at Dahlin report.

Find out what has been

recovered from the geisha.

Major!

I told you not jump off.

I had to, or more would have died.

You are a member of my team,

and my responsibility

I'll find him... and I will kill him.

It's what I am built for, isn't it?

You are more than just a weapon.

You have a soul, a ghost.

When we see our uniqueness as a virtue...

Only then will we find peace.

Safely reconfiguring the

child's genetic Structure.

Families built better.

What was going on with you

at the hotel last night?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Are you sure?

- Hey, sweetheart, want an upgrade?

- Move.

- I have anything you want.

- Back off!

Hey, Ming!

Hey, Batou!

- Got your bones.

- Thanks man.

For the dogs.

For someone who doesn't like people

How come you care about dogs so much

I dont know. I like just strays

and they like me.

They like you Because you feed them.

You got no heart.

Hey, girls!

Hey Gabriel!

Meet Major.

Major, Gabriel.

We used to have a dog.

Sure is that?

.. more of a cat person.

You don't talk about that stuff.

What?

- Your past.

- I don't remember much.

Just fragments, bits and pieces.

What about family?

My parents, they died

bringing us to this country.

Our boat sank in the harbor.

I almost drowned.

I feel sinking...

there is always this thick fog

over my memory.

And I can't seen through it.

You are lucky.

Every single day I get

screwed upon my memory.

It's better to be pure.

Like you.
