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.

I'm looking at her and thinking...

"You want me to for pay for violin too".

Don't get me wrong.

I love that chick to pieces.

I do. She is amazing.

But when she prox that thing,

it's painful right?

Why not piano?

I mean, it's the same price,

and doesn't sound so bad.

At least if you can't play that proper,

it sounds...

2-5-7-1!

Tell me everything!

Are you prepare

to die for 2-5-7...?

Go!

Go!

Who is Kuze?

- Why does he want to kill Ouelet?

- I don't know anything.

Enough, enough!

We need him alive.

Please. I have been trough this.

You have the wrong guy.

So tell us who we do have.

My name is Lee Cunningham.

- Where'd you get the weapons?

- I dont know.

Who loaded the mines?

I don't know anything about the weapons,

alright I told you.

I was picking up my daughter.

She takes violin lessons.

What's her name?

- Is this her?

- Yeah.

Isn't she a little angel?

- This is your daughter?

- Right.

Do you have that?

Where do you live?

I can't remember.

I think it's a tall place.

Is it a tall building?

It's a tall place, right?

You don't have a child.

You have no wife. You live alone,

It's just you.

- What? No.

- We went to your apartment.

- There was nobody there.

- No.

You live there for

10 years by yourself.

No.

- You're just lying.

- I'm not lying.

I didn't kill anyone!

- Why do you keep doing this to me?

- Holocube disconnect.

Please!

I didn't do anything.

Why do you keep saying this to me?

I don't understand. How can he not know?

The hack must have created a vacuum.

Kuze's wiped his memory...

and somehow installed a new reality.

At least he got to believe he had a kid.

What's the difference huh?

Fantasy, reality?

Dreams, memories?

It's all the same.

Just noise.

It's him.

He is in there.

This cube is secure. He can't be, Major.

Lie Detector.

He must have hacked in that way.

We should uplink to the machine,

trace the code, get a lock on his location.

Do it.

Don't go in there.

It's too dangerous.

Major

We don't know what else he can do.

The signal is unstable.

Can you get the lock on him?

We gotta move fast. We're losing him.

Connecting.

Who are you?

Come here.

I'm shy.

I'm not beautiful...

like you.

Tell me who you are.

I have been born more than once.

So I have more than one name

I'll find you.

Not yet.

I am not done.

The machine is tracing his location.

We got a fix!

I need to see her.

No Please. I know.. what...

We got him.

Let's go.

Weapons up.

- Go.

- On me.

Stay Down! Stay Down!

Put it down, put it down.

Grenade!

Major!

Come in.

I knew why we could not find him.

He is using human minds

to create a network of his own.

We're coming to your position.

Tell me who you are.

I'm that what you seek to destroy.

In this life, my name is...

Kuze.

What are you doing to me?

I have, connected you,

to a network of my own creation.

When I am finished in this world...

my ghost can survive

there and regenerate.

What do you want from me?

I became...

Fascinated with you...

Reading your code...

when you were inside that geisha.

Like nothing I had felt before,

yet so..

Familiar.

We are the same.

We are not the same.

You kill innocent people.

Innocent? Is that the.. what you call them?

I am as they need me.

Who made you?

What have they told you?

That you were the first?

The first cerebral salvage.

You were born of lessons...

from my failure.

What are you talking about?

I was conscious while they

dismembered my body, and discarded me

like garbage.

I was lying on a table...

Listening to doctors talk about how

my mind had not matched with the shell.

That they had built.

I'm projected to 2571...

had failed...

and they had to move on...

to you.

Morning beauty you are.

They have improved us so much...

since they made me.

They thought that we would be

a part of their evolution.

But they have created us...

to evolve alone...

beyond them.

Evolution? That's what you call?

Killing everyone who made you?

You are not listening to me.

You are murderer.

They tried to kill me first.

It is self-defense.

The defense of self.

More will die...

until they tell me...

what they took.

I won't let that happen.

You want to kill me?

Like everyone else.

Do it, then.

Do what you are programmed to do.

What is that?

What is that?

I kick in to remember,

but I am haunted by it.

Do You see it?

Togusa!

Don't take the medication

that they gave you..

They use it to suppress your memories.

Your shell belongs to them,

but not your ghost.

Your ghost is yours.

Remember that...

and maybe you can remember it all.

Get away from her!

Get down on the ground now.

Major..

Major!

Dozens.

How many?

98 unsuccessful attempts before you.

You killed 98 innocent people.

No, I didn't kill anyone.

You wouldn't be here.

You would not exist if it

weren't for those experiments.

Experiments?

- Is that what I am to you?

- No!

No, Mira!

Sacrifices were made.

Where did the bodies come from?

Where did I come from?

Mr. Cutter brought them to us.

I did not ask questions.

The harbor.

My parents.

The way they died.

Did that happen?

No.

We gave you false memories.

Cutter wanted to motivate you.

To fight terrorists.

I didn't approve.

It was cruel, but my work,

that was important, and...

you were born.

You were so beautiful.

Nothing I have is real.

I found him.

I told you to be careful.

You knew who he was the whole time.

You built him.

He had a..

Violent unstable mind.

His cerebral connection wouldn't hold!

- I tried to save him!

- No.

You left him to die.

Nothing on Kuze yet, sir.

Checking upper zones next.

Is there any word on Major?

She's gone.

Off-grid. Silent.

Copy that, sir.

I know where to find her.

I didn't ask you to come here.

You never ask.

But I always do.

Did they send you to bring me in?

I'm just here to fish. Did you see any?

You are a company man, you follow orders.

So, if they ordered you to kill me.

Stop saying sh*t like that.

You're gonna piss me off.

What's it like down there?

It's Cold and dark.

Just a million miles away.

No voices.

No data streaming.

Just...

nothing.

- It scares me.

- Then Why do you do it?

It feels real.

Why didn't you stop him?

I don't know who to trust anymore.

You trust me, right?

Yes I do.

I just don't like it.

I need you to take me back.

There is more I need to find out.

Sure.

Dr. Ouelet...

What have you told her?

She knows.

I'm bringing her in.

Hanka security to Headquarters.

We have the Major.

Why is she sedated?

She's been turned by a terrorist.

But you know that already.

You should have called

the first time she came to see you.

Instead, you gave

her information.

What makes you think you have the..

- Right to tell me that?

- 2-5-7-1 took us close.

It's time to move on to the next iteration.

2-5-7-1 is not a failure.

I will delete all the

data and reprogram her.

- She won't remember him at all.
