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.

- No, no, no, no.

You download all the data

on the terrorist...

and then I order you to terminate.

- What?

- We'll build one that's better.

- I'll delete everything.

- You deleted before.

- She's mine.

- No.

She is a contract... with me.

We succeeded.

She is more than human... and more than Al.

We change her entire identity.

But her ghost survived!

Her ghost is what failed us.

We can not control her.

She is no longer a viable asset.

You should be the one to do it.

What are you doing to me?

I'll run the standard synaptic.

Upload your data on the raid.

I'll find out exactly what Kuze told you.

You know what he told me.

The truth.

You're deleting everything, aren't you?

No.

So I don't remember...

You.

My name is Major Mira Killian...

And I do not consent

to the deletion of this data.

I do not consent.

I do not consent.

We never needed your consent.

Yours or anyones.

You're killing me..

Right you..?

Mira?

Do you hear me?

Mira?

This is your past, your real past. Take it.

- Guards!

- Come on, come on!

Come on, go!

Go!

Go!

Security alert on level 25.

Initiating Lockdown procedure.

Please relocate to your

designated safe room.

Thank you for your cooperation.

That's the problem with the human heart.

I want to see her scan.

She killed Dr. Ouelet.

You are to have no further contact with her.

Hanka security will hunt her from here.

- What are the orders?

- To terminate on sight.

You want to kill her? You built her!

- Have your sergeant stand down.

- The Major would never hurt Dr. Oulete.

She is not the major anymore!

We have a section 9 operative

under terrorist programming.

This goes public your unit goes down.

You kill her...

You kill us.

I'll take that under advice.

So what now?

Oh, the puppy.

Oh, you surprised me.

She likes you.

I was looking for...

No, come in.

Yeah, go, come come.

- Can I offer you some tea?

- Okay.

P s a g m e n o. com

That... Motoko's room.

My daughter died a year ago.

I am Sorry.

She run away.

She was a difficult.

We fought.

But I guess we all fight

with our parents, right?

Please come on the sit.

What happened to your her?

I don't know.

The ministry sent me her ashes, and...

They told me she took her own life.

But Motoko... No, no, no.

I never believe them.

She was happy...

living in the lawless

zone with her friends.

She'd write her manifestos about...

how technology was...

destroying the world.

Then one day...

the police came...

and they run.

It's strange.

I see her in so many young women.

On the street, in my dreams.

As if she is still here.

She was...

fearless.

And wild.

You remind me of her.

Sorry.

Why do I remind you of her?

The way you look at me.

Who are you?

I don't know.

Wait, wait, wait!

Will you come again to visit me?

I will.

Aramaki.

Listen to me.

I was never in a terrorist bombing.

My parents...

Everything was data

they installed in my mind.

And there were others.

Run-aways like me...

considered disposable.

Kuze was one of them.

That's why he's coming.

To Hanka.

Can you prove this?

Dr. Ouelet can.

Ouelet's dead.

Cutter says you killed her.

Put me on the grid. I need Kuze to find me.

We will be exposed to Cutter.

I know, but I have to do this.

I'm going to meet with the Prime Minister.

He must be stopped.

The virus has spread.

All agents stick to mental comms.

Don't send a rabbit...

to kill a fox.

We are burned.

I repeat.

We are burned.

We have located Major on the grid.

She's in the lawless zone.

Air support 5 minutes out.

Is the spider tank within range?

Yes sir. Awaiting your orders sir.

Motoko!

It is real.

This place.

I remember what they did to us.

Cutter and his men.

This is where they took us from.

We used to sleep right here.

We were like a family.

All of us run away.

We had nothing...

except each other.

They took that from us.

Your name was Hideo.

Motoko.

That was your name.

Motoko.

Come with me...

my network.

We will evolve beyond them.

And together we can avenge

what they have done to us.

Come...

with me.

I will take control from here.

Weapons system manual command.

Spider tank now active

It's Cutter! He found us!

Target acquired

No!

Target eliminated.

You came close...

you freak.

Motor center compromised.

Sniper team on site?

Approaching the target now sir.

Come with me.

There is no place for us here.

No.

I'm not ready to leave.

I belong here.

I'll always be there with you...

your ghost.

Target is in view.

What are you waiting for?

Do it!

No!

Keep firing.

Saito, have you found Major? Is she safe?

She will be.

Hey..

Hey.

Say something nice.

What's your name?

Aramaki told me you had a name from before.

Motoko.

Major still in there, right?

I am.

Mr. Cutter.

I talked with the Prime Minister.

You are accused of murder

and crimes against the state.

I thought that it might be you.

It is unwise to resist.

Please.

Major?

I am with Cutter.

Do you wanna say anything

before I kill him?

Tell him this is justice.

It's what I was built for.

So do you give consent?

My name is Major.

And I give my consent.

You don't have to come here anymore.

I know.

My mind is human.

My body is manufactured.

I am the first of my kind, but...

I won't be the last.

We cling to memories

as if they define us.

But what we do defines us.

My ghost survived

to remind the next of us...

that humanity is our virtue.

I know who I am...

and what I'm here to do.

Major.

Engage targets.

You're authorized.
