Legion, Episode 4.
All you need is kill.
The drone that Lucy sent out nears the arcade and sees Helena and Legion together playing
games.
Richard, I have a visual on Helena and Legion.
How close are you to them?
Almost there.
I'm close to the parking lot platform.
Richard is driving a speeder and reaches the parking lot platform close to the Cidel area
where the shops are and digital playground is located.
Richard receives another call that's incoming.
Lucy, Agent Saito is calling.
I gotta let you go.
Got it.
You handle that.
Richard switches to Daniel.
Saito, I have a fix on Legion's location, but he has someone with him.
A girl.
I met the family and they gave me a location.
Excellent.
However, that area is very crowded with civilians.
I don't want any innocent civilians getting hurt.
Nobody is going to get hurt.
I had to get that girl away from Legion.
Just remember, your priority is to capture or destroy him, Dykstra.
I know, Saito.
Agent Saito hangs up on Dykstra.
Just in time for Richard to park the speeder and proceed with his mission.
Richard checks his handgun, a Vector G245 caliber handgun.
He loads the gun with a special ammo type, bullet piercing rounds.
A nice choice when going up against a beam like Legion.
We see Helena and Zeke still at the arcade playing games.
The drone that Lucy sent has them in its sights.
Helena and Zeke start walking.
Drone flies up so it doesn't get discovered by them.
Hovercraft starts approaching.
We get a look inside and see mercenaries.
They are from Seraph.
One of the many groups in Sprawl.
The Seraph leader, Gray, walks away from the cockpit of the ship.
He is holding in his right hand shotgun shells.
He holds up his left hand and inserts the shells into an opening in his left arm.
Inside of his left arm is a compartment that is the chamber of which the shells are placed.
Similar to that of a shotgun, Gray's body is a weapon courtesy of augmentation.
A fusion of flesh and machine, which has now become the new flesh.
The Seraph mercenaries are getting excited about the hunt.
I heard this Legion character has a girl with him.
What do we do about that?
Is she a target?
Gray cocks his pistol and puts it in his chest holster.
She's probably an accomplice.
We kill her too.
Helena and Zeke, after finishing up at the arcade, walk around the mall.
They pass by a woman.
She is wearing a gray hoodie, black jeans, and black-heeled boots.
She is also wearing a red jacket.
She turns back to see where Helena and Zeke are going.
The woman is the same person Richard met at the Hive nightclub, Rachel.
But her name is not Rachel.
It's just an alias.
Her name is Fumiko Agawa, and she is a spy for the Oni Syndicate.
Legion is in the area, and it's with a girl.
In an area not too far off, we see Japanese men wearing clean suits and enjoying tea at
a coffee shop.
These are the Oni, the Japanese Yakuza.
The point man of the group, Jin Mitsurugi, receives the call.
Gentlemen, it's time.
The Oni members rise in unison from their seats and walk to their target.
Axiom Syndicate, belonging to Adam Jensen, is also present in the area, and Moira Venek
is walking with her group.
All three groups are heading toward their destination.
Axiom, Oni, and Seraph.
Up in the sky, Lucy's drone sees everything, and the information is passed on to Richard.
Richard, are you still there?
Yes.
What is it, Lucy?
You're going to have company.
What are you talking about?
Apparently, you're not the only one sent to find Legion.
Apparently, Axiom, Oni, and Seraph are en route.
Damn it!
I'm still going to carry this out.
Richard, you're outnumbered.
It's suicide to walk in there.
I'm walking, and that's the end of it, Lucy.
Richard turns a corner.
He sees Legion and Helena, and he draws his handgun and points at Legion.
The laser pointer from the handgun stays firmly on Legion's head.
Helena Ramirez move away from the AI.
Helena moves in front of Legion.
What are you talking about?
Who are you?
That thing murdered an entire crew of the interceptor.
It's gone rogue, and its prime directive has changed to that of Executioner.
So now, I ask you, please step away from it.
I'm not going to let you hurt Zeke.
Helena steps back.
That's not its name.
Its real name is Legion, a name it took after committing murder, and before that it was
known previously as Helix.
Helena turns her head towards Legion.
Helena, it's not what you think.
This bounty hunter is lying.
Helena, your parents want you back home.
Walk over to me.
You were lying to me this whole time?
You're a killer?
I see no alternative with the continued lifecycle of humanity.
Its end will be heralded by me.
Helena steps back and slowly walks over to Richard.
Mercenaries from Seraph arrive on time.
They are aiming their weapons at Richard, Helena and Legion.
Legion sees and pushes Helena out of the way.
She is pushed hard and hits the floor.
Richard immediately runs over to her and begins using his handgun.
Legion runs at the gunman.
With a punch, he eliminates the first guy.
Legion's metal hand goes through the man's chest.
He then kills the other three, grabbing them and dismembering them one by one.
Richard picks Helena off the floor.
I have to come with me now.
Helena doesn't say anything.
She follows Richard's lead.
Legion turns around and sees Richard, holding Helena's hand, leading her away out of danger.
Legion chases out to them.
Richard sees Legion running straight at them.
Instantly, gunfire is unleashed by the Oni Syndicate, who have just arrived.
Legion becomes their immediate target and a focused fire on it.
Legion takes several hits from their weapons, but it doesn't damage the armor.
Legion jumps and lands on the first Yakuza member.
He proceeds to kill the rest.
While Legion is distracted, Richard and Helena make a clean break.
Who are you, really?
A freelancer.
Not really a good time for questions.
I gotta get you out of here.
So just follow my lead.
More bounty hunters show up to kill them.
Richard, using his handgun kills them before they can get a shot off.
The armor-piercing rounds are devastating and wreck the hunters.
Oni members fire at them.
Richard and Helena go back into cover next to a wall.
Richard calls Lucy.
Hey!
I could use some assistance.
Tell me where, Richard.
Richard takes a peek from cover and his cybernetic eyes mark the Oni targets.
Back at the apartment, Lucy sees from her screen.
Okay, I see them.
Hold on for just a little bit more.
Lucy, using her control, operates the drone and moving it in position behind the Oni Syndicate
members.
The drone finds its targets and fires a dart-like projectile, which instantly kills the four
Oni members.
Richard sees the dead bodies.
Thanks, Lucy.
Don't mention it.
Now get out of there.
Richard and Helena proceed.
That armintage is sitting in his private room.
He has various screens that show him different parts of the city.
He starts interacting with the holographic displays and sees security camera footage
of Richard and Helena.
He then switches and sees Legion killing the bounty hunters who are trying to destroy him.
So that's the AI that would preserve and kill everyone on the interceptor.
Instantly another hologram appears.
It's Richard Armintage's AI assistant, Reia.
I thought we had someone taking care of that for us.
We did.
However, now that I see it, I think this would be an excellent place to grow up currently
in the military.
Humans don't have as much longevity as machines.
That's even if they augment themselves.
They will still grow old, become ill, and die.
Now we need to proliferate our defenses with AI.
The president looks back at what Richard and Helena are doing and sees the drone that Lucy
is piloting.
President Armintage pulls up a virtual keyboard and begins to hack into the drone.
Lucy is operating the drone, but notices it is now not responding to its commands.
What the hell is going on now?
Richard and Helena are still coming under fire from bounty hunters.
Richard and Helena are near a large fountain in the mall, high behind it.
Lucy, we need help now.
Can't help you.
My drone is not responding to my commands right now.
Richard sees the drone turn towards them and starts firing at them.
President Armintage smiles, admiring his work.
Seriously, Richard, I can't do anything about it.
The drone got hacked.
Richard, using his handgun, points at the drone and shoots it.
The drone explodes and is taken out.
Now we don't have any backup.
More syndicate bounty hunters converge on their position.
Stay right here and don't move.
Richard leaves Helena.
He is out in the open.
The bounty hunters focus all their attention on him.
Richard shoots the first guy.
He sees.
A single bullet to the head kills his adversary.
The man drops an assault rifle, which Richard picks up.
He uses it and takes out three hunters.
Another guy from behind shoots.
Richard dodges the attack.
Instead of firing his weapon, he throws the gun at him until it hits.
Richard charges and tackles the man on the floor.
He brandishes his pistol and unloads five shots into the man's gut.
He rolls out of the way from the gunshots.
He is on the floor but continues to fire his weapon while on the ground.
He kills five mercs.
He gets up off the floor.
He motions Helena to run to him.
Helena nods and follows through.
He continues still encountering more syndicate members.
Richard gets hit by a Seraph merc with a fired or shotgun blast on him.
He goes down on one knee.
The Seraph merc is about to fire another shot.
And Helena uses a stun pistol.
The electrical blast from the weapon immobilizes the guy.
Richard gets back up and recovers from the wound and he shoots his enemy dead with his
pistol.
Thanks!
You had that all along?
Never leave home without it.
Nice!
Come on, let's go!
President Armentage is still switching between the footage of Richard and Helena.
We're also seeing footage of Legion decimating more of the mercs.
Rea, the president's A.I. student, comes back online.
Yes, Mr. President.
I need to talk to Agent Saito.
Tell him to call me.
Yes, I will do that immediately.
Richard and Helena go outside.
They continue to run.
What they don't realize is that behind them, a Seraph hovercraft follows them.
Richard sees the vehicle heading directly at them.
We see Gray from the cockpit.
Okay, get the gun turds ready and open fire.
Gray says to the pilot operating the controls.
Richard begins to scan the vehicle with his eyes.
Come on, let's go!
No, I got this.
The pilot aims with his pistol.
His eyes focus on the pilot and slowly puts his finger on the trigger.
The hovercraft's gun turds are preparing to fire.
But Richard waits until it gets closer.
And it finally reaches the exact point.
Richard shoots.
The bullet passes through the glass window of the ship and hits the pilot.
Now his face hits the dashboard controls.
Another vehicle comes in and hits the hovercraft, which causes it to spin out.
Gray panics and manages to jump out of the vehicle as it falls.
It crashes down, and splashes into an infernal wreck.
Gray is on the ground and sees Richard.
The two men see each other.
Gray runs over to Richard.
He moves fast with the current cybernetic build he possesses.
Using his hand, he fires a shotgun blast.
But Richard dodges out of the way.
Richard pops out his blade and stabs Gray with it.
But Gray shoots and he hits Richard.
Richard doesn't yield.
Gray is about to fire another shot, but Richard grabs his arm at the right time.
He twists it around.
Gray shoots, but instead of Richard, it hits him.
His head explodes from the blast and his headed mouth are just flaps of skin.
Richard walks away from the dead courts.
Oni members encircle Richard.
They're armed with SMGs while others are sporting katana swords.
Alright, who's gonna go first?
Richard says to the group, the Oni Syndicate attack.
The first guy to attack is a katana.
His movements are quick, but Richard knows how to dodge and each strike the man misses.
Richard ends the fight quickly with his right hand transforming into a blade.
With one stroke, he slices the gangsters throat.
The Oni members switch tactics and they attack all at once this time.
But Richard quickly makes use of his overdrive mode, which causes him to go berserk.
He starts cutting one guy multiple times with his blade, then moves on to the next by quickly
dashing forward.
And one, then moving on to the next.
The katana looks with surprise at seeing this guy kill all these syndicate members with
ease.
One guy attacks with another katana.
Richard definitely takes the blade and then uses it against the attacker.
He shows it through the man's skull.
Jin, Mitsurugi enters the area.
He looks at all the corpses.
All of them, he knew his friends.
He sees Richard deal with the last one.
Richard shoots the man's legs with his pistol.
He is now kneeling and is begging for mercy.
Please, don't kill me.
Just let me go.
Richard doesn't say a word, he shoots the guy in the head.
So you're the freelancer.
Richard looks and sees Jin standing beforehand.
Jin is armed with a handgun.
Richard is tired from using the overdrive mode in cybernetic tech that Jonathan installed
on him.
You look tired.
Guess you need a nap.
Freelancer, Jin says to Richard.
Jin aims his pistol at Richard.
Richard, using his eyes, begins to quickly scan Jin.
He notices he is also equipped with cybernetics.
He begins to initiate a computer virus inside Jin, which causes him to have an abrupt heart
attack.
What the hell are you doing?
My chest, it hurts.
Richard begins to walk forward.
I just uploaded a virus into your system.
I made sure this one would give you a devastating heart attack.
Jin is on the ground.
The pain is so great he can't hold on for very long.
Please, can you stop this?
I'm going to die.
I have blood pressure.
Sorry, but you would just come after me again.
Richard walks away.
Jin goes into cardiac arrest and dies.
Richard walks over to Helena, but he is walking slowly than before.
He collapses on the ground.
Helena sees the wounds on Richard's body with your numerous.
Are you going to be okay?
You look really bad.
Right now, you need to get to somewhere safe.
Richard stands up.
He is not doing good.
He goes down on one knee again.
No, you seriously don't look good.
You need help.
Another vehicle approaches.
The door opens and it's someone who Richard knows.
Hurry and get in.
Jonathan sent me.
Richard looks and sees Zoe Deschan.
Richard stands up, but another hunter.
This one from Axiom shows up and shoots him.
Don't even move.
Just stay right there so I can kill you.
Both Richard and Helena think it's the end, when suddenly the Axiom hunter is shot from
behind.
Mark Hushadan is Moira Vanneke.
Well, look who the cat dragged in, Richard says.
Moira is still aiming her rifle at Richard.
It's been a long time, Richard.
Look, I have to go.
I'm not doing so good.
Yeah, you look like hell.
You do know you just killed one of Adam Jensen's guys.
Not worried about it.
Out of sight, out of mind.
You haven't changed a bit.
The same could be said for you.
Richard turns his head and looks at Helena and Zoe.
Look, I need to get out of here.
I gotta make sure this girl is safe.
I suggest you do the same.
Oh!
Don't try to go up against Legion.
That thing is a real piece of work.
Noted.
Now get the hell out of here before more show up.
Richard gets up and limps into the vehicle.
Oh!
Helena follows.
All right, let's get out of here, Zoe says.
Zoe hits the ignition and they leave the chaos at the mall behind them and get onto
the highway.
Back at the mall, Legion finishes off a mercenary.
Also present is a very scared Axiom syndicate member who is begging the AI to not kill him.
Please!
I surrender!
Don't kill me!
I swear I won't go after you!
You can be free!
You can be looking over your shoulder!
Hell, I'm done looking for Axiom.
I just want to live!
Legion scans his target.
He then picks him up by the throat and lifts him off the ground.
I am more than just a machine.
I am all powerful.
The people of this city will soon learn to respect me.
While the man cries for help, help!
Legion wastes no time, taking both hands.
He rips the Axiom syndicate member in half.
Blood drifts from both halves of the dead man.
Legion then looks and sees a camera from the other side of that camera, sits, President
Armentage in his seat, drinking scotch and seeing Legion on his holographic display.
Yes, you will do nicely, Legion.
Back on the highway, Richard is wounded and losing a lot of blood.
So I take it you guys are friends, right?
Helena says to Zoe who is operating the steering wheel of the car and dodging incoming traffic.
Yeah, we know each other well.
How's he doing back there?
Helena checks.
She gets a look at Richard's stomach, which is a gruesome wound.
He's a mess.
He's losing a lot of blood.
Damn it, we have to get him to Jonathan's place.
He has all the shit needed to help him.
Zoe's car starts getting hit with gunfire.
She looks at the rear view mirror and sees another car rolling up behind them.
These assholes just won't give up.
What do we do?
Helena says, give me a gun.
I'll handle it, says a wounded Richard.
No, you can't just relax, okay?
Helena, take this.
Zoe grabs a pistol from the glove compartment of the car and offers it to her.
Helena hesitates and doesn't know what to do.
Helena, come on, use the gun.
Helena takes the pistol.
Zoe lowers Helena's window so she can get a clear shot.
I'll drive, you shoot.
Zoe says, Helena pops her head out of the window.
You can see the gunman in the other vehicle.
He is reloading his rifle.
Helena holds the gun with both hands and steadies herself.
She shoots and the bullet completely misses.
Damn it, I missed.
Helena, come on, shoot at them.
Helena focuses on her target.
This time she is patient and waits for the perfect moment for the iron sights of the
pistol to line up perfectly with the gunman.
She slowly squeezes the trigger.
She fires.
The bullet hits the gunman and he falls out of the car.
The driver of the vehicle starts to accelerate.
He is going to attempt to ram them.
Holy shit, he's accelerating Zoe, watch out.
I see the bastard.
Richard touches Helena on her shoulder while she is watching the enemy vehicle catch up
with them.
Helena turns toward Richard, switch.
The seats.
I have a gun that can pierce the material of that car.
Helena switches seats with Richard.
Zoe sees Richard in Helena's seat from her rear view mirror.
Richard, what the hell are you doing?
You need to rest.
Just keep driving.
Zoe, I can handle this.
The car being driven by the Axiom Syndicate member is getting close.
He is about to ram Zoe's car, but Richard pops out and starts firing his handgun.
He fires multiple shots.
The window of the driver seat breaks and the bullets hit the guy.
The armor piercing bullets tear through his body.
Blood sprays out and he loses control of the vehicle, which spins out of control.
The car hits the wall of the underground tunnel.
And it explodes.
Richard sits back in the car.
He can feel his rib hurting again.
Oh God, I'm in so much pain.
We are almost at Jonathan's place, Richard.
Just hold on a little while longer, says Zoe.
Richard starts going in and out of consciousness and suddenly everything goes black.
We focus back on the leader of the United Colonies, the President's Haven, a large
structure that hovers over the edge of space.
Inside, he watches activity on his screens, which shows everything.
Agent Daniel Saito appears to the President as a hologram to talk.
Hello, Mr. President.
You wanted to talk to me?
Yes, Agent Saito.
I was watching the footage in sprawl of your freelancer, you hired to take down Legion.
As we both saw, he failed and is protecting a girl instead of handling his objective,
which you gave him to take care of.
Yes, I am aware I have been trying to call him, but he hasn't picked up.
Don't worry about it.
However, since this Legion character is now running amok in the city, I am thinking about
initiating a temporary lockdown in sprawl.
This will only last a little while and enough time for my people to find this AI and capture
it.
Capture?
Yes, Agent Saito.
I think that would be the best option.
However, don't worry, you still have a part to play in this operation.
Are you home with your family by chance?
Yes, I'm currently home with my family.
Why do you ask?
Well, I'm going to send a team of agents to your home.
They will brief you on how to proceed with the lockdown and your help will be greatly
appreciated.
Understood, Mr. President.
That was all I wanted to say.
Have a good evening, Agent Saito.
Thank you, Mr. President.
And you as well.
The call ends and Saito's holographic image disappears.
Agent Saito lives in a beautiful home with his wife, Jennifer Saito, and their two children
in sprawl.
Their children are Christopher, age 10, and their daughter Elizabeth, age 5.
They are all inside the living room.
Daniel and Jennifer are playing with their kids.
Their home AI picks up two people that have arrived at their doorstep and alerts them.
Mr. Saito, you have visitors.
Shall I unlock the door for them?
Or would you like to?
I'll handle it.
Thank you for letting me know.
Of course.
Mr. Saito, Daniel opens the door and sees two agents, Agent Lucas and Agent Hall.
Hello.
You wanted to brief me on the situation in regard to Legion?
Yes.
May we come inside?
Of course.
Make yourselves at home.
Agent Lucas steps inside the house, while Agent Hall shuts the door behind them.
The door closes and we hear talking.
And then suddenly, multiple gunshots are heard.
And then cold silence.
