the time fall away [Music] want to come work for me it must be tough out here on your own yeah i thought fragile express had plenty of people plenty of traitors not much left of us now safe for a few and us folks and on top of that not much left of me either got soaked from knit to toe and i can't help you with that i make deliveries that's all freelance contractors receivers headed into town [Music] watch yourself those things never stay gone for long [Applause] the time pool fast forwards whatever it touches but it can't wash everything away the past just won't let go i'll see you around some porter bridges all right [Music] beginning scan cargo verified thank you [Music] delivering cargo what took you so long it's not like the legend to come in late i had to wait out the storm lost my bike sounds like you've been through the ringer luckily our goods are in perfect condition well you did keep us waiting but everything else seems to be in perfect order so great work we'll be awaiting the next special commission delivery sam porter bridges priority one uh igor bridges corpse disposal sam porter i presume right not the touchy-feely type document said you had some kind of phobia bridge's corpse disposal what happened look gotta get a move on i'll explain as we go come on come and take a look [Music] he's got a date with the incinerator how long since he flatlined you don't know the exact dod but i'd say it's been upwards of 40 hours he wasn't quarantined not sick this is a suicide oh jesus we're just lucky we found him at all got him on ice a set but who knows when he'll go necro where are you taking them closest incinerators to the north this root's crawling with bts sure you can't use another i wish i could but there's no time then just burn the poor bastard right here you put all that kirillium in the air so close to town can't do it better that than trying for the incinerator hey we can do this we just need someone like you with dooms well he's already in the first stages of necrosis if we don't hurry this place is a crater so how about it can we count on you then bridges hereby enters into a contract with sam porter sam just sam and i can't spot bts just sense them that's why we came prepared i'm bridge baby huh with its helping you we'll be able to stay one step ahead of them [Music] makes me feel like [ __ ] every time well you are plugging into the other side it freaks me out too roll out [Music] well the world was different when i was a kid america is a country anybody could go anywhere they damn well pleased no need for couriers like yourself we had highways airplanes hell you could even visit other countries hard to imagine it now as you can see the desk stranding poked us full of holes [ __ ] us beyond all recognition and if you were lucky enough to survive the time fall came and washed you away then those freaks from the beach showed up worlds of the living and the dead all mixed together and that's when folks started holing up in the cities couriers like yourself got put up on a pedestal son of a [ __ ] rainbow how much further to the incinerator this guy's about to pop [ __ ] we're at the cut to the bts the engine stalled the decimals got us right where they want us get us out of here sam can you see anything no nothing this bb must be busted or something ah [Applause] uh [Applause] uh uh oh [Music] they're here shut up [Music] [Applause] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Applause] uh sorry three run [Music] [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] bridges falling down my fair lady so [Music] [Music] [Music] talking [Music] can you hear me steady ugh once there was an explosion a bang which gave rise to life as we know it and then came the next explosion an explosion that will be our last [Music] huh [Music] oh you're awake so how does it feel to be back in the world of the living don't worry i'm a doctor well a coroner originally call me dead man i'm well acquainted with the dead not like you of course contrary to the name i've never actually died i would advise against that i'm no expert but i can assure you it's for your own protection see so i'm a prisoner these aren't handcuffs they're cutting-edge devices that keep us all connected us oh us yup bridges humanity's best hope for the future or avoiding extinction if you prefer right where am i what time is it watch me try pressing it against your skin like this relax that just means your body's got a good connection to the cufflink look look the puffs will watch over you 24 hours a day that is to say we will we're here to help what the hell two days during that time we took the liberty of collecting fluid samples from you you're a repatriate that makes you very special what happened to the cd guys central knot was obliterated in the annihilation game over man place is a crater the only ones to get it continue were you for obvious reasons and your broken bridge baby is it all right it's been marked for disposal didn't work anymore why keep it we lost everyone not just corpse disposal my team hq all of redford every soul in central not city we're at our base in capital not city now or should i say our new headquarters sudbury seemed the logical choice but our implementation team has been decimated and there's only so much they can do in two days things here are a mess fortunately the director and his support team were out of town at the time so the chain of command remains intact [Music] i hate to do this so soon but i have a job for you huh uh this stencil is from when you repatriated uh what's the other mark from a clingy woman in a cave huh hmm i see effin fossumphobia no wonder you were out there alone where no one could touch you i'll try to be more careful sam so the job is an urgent delivery i need you to bring the president some morphine what president is gone you talking about the mayor of central not no no no no not the mayor america lives on sam the president is in the final stages of cancer in critical condition but there's still time why me look sam do as i ask and i promise it will all make sense why don't you do it because i'm not really here apologies this is just a chirogram and here oh come the tears allergic reaction to the chiral transmission i'm actually over in the isolation word in the big triangle building ah here is the morphine bridge is hereby enters into a contract with sam porter come on you got morphine there what's this about tell me the truth the truth sam is that america's last president wants to see you in person are you really about to say no [Music] very good i'll see you in the isolation ward hmm [Music] beginning scan scanning bridges id verifying id delivery order for sam border bridges request transport of morphine to isolation ward for immediate administration to the president check the map on your cufflinks if you're lost sam the isolation word should be pretty obvious if you're not sure how to get there you can set markers and draw roots too try it out and you'll see what i mean central wasn't just home to bridge's hq it was also the seat of the reconstructionist movement the president hadn't required special treatment she would have never left and if she hadn't we wouldn't have either ah [Music] [Music] like i said the vital signs are all trending the same way no chance of a recovery then none that i can see now we should start my pool preparations sam it's me dead man sorry my mistake i'm afraid the president's condition has deteriorated thank you this will help to ease the pain and allow her to speak with you in these final moments her the first and last female president of the united states surely you remember her she raised you you're not exactly dressed for a reunion take that off before you come inside [Music] that's the president's right-hand man the director of bridges die hardman oh you were with bridges one so i guess no introductions are necessary what's it been sam ten years look at us a bunch of deathless freaks meeting like this yeah well good to see you too president's waiting it's your mother bridget she's a bit out of it mud i know she'll recognize you madam president we've brought sam huh we'll leave you two alone sam i knew you'd come back [Music] are you doing all right [Music] yeah i know you hate me [Music] emily normally you remember amelie went west took her three years to cross she's trying to rebuild the country still going on about that you're the one i wanted to send sam time's running out help emily she needs you [Music] together you can help us reconnect you can make america whole sam if we don't all come together again humanity will not survive we don't need a country not anymore we do alone we have no future no america's finished bridget you're the president of jack's [ __ ] sam listen to me [Music] please [Music] so you are willing to help me no i didn't [Music] i love you sam [Music] i'll be waiting for you on the beach madam president oh no [Music] doctor we need your help all hands on deck here [Music] [Music] hold on we're losing here time of death [Music] [Music] listen no one can know that the president is dead if word gets out bridges is finished now what happened here does not leave this room do you understand yes director but there's still the matter of the body corpse disposal we've got that covered sam before she died the president made a contract with you what are you talking about as a member of bridges you're gonna work with the rest of us to rebuild america you think you can recruit me like she tried to well she succeeded look at your wrist if that's not symbolic i don't know what is director the cancer spread throughout her entire body harvesting organs is out of the question and there is no need for an autopsy her body needs to be cremated before she necrotizes and if we don't this place will turn into another crater what do you want me to do we don't have any porters right now and the cd team you went into the field with are dead but the president's body has to be burned the road from capital not city to the incinerator was compromised in the void out the only way there is on foot through the mountains but the chiral density there is off the chart it's got to be bts this job has requirements tombs repatriate listen me why sam you're already in the clock now get it done sam porter bridges so can i have a moment president strand believed in american reconstructionism she worked tirelessly to bring the nation together again and without her there would be no bridges she deserves a funeral with full honors but we can't give her that if she dies america dies without her bridges will cease to be listen her cremation must be carried out with the utmost secrecy even if we pull it off what then who's gonna take her place face it america's history sam america isn't dead yet he just said that it dies if bridget does she may be lost to us but we still have an america worthy of the presidency sorry what let's not get into it now what matters is that we're going to finish your mother's work and rebuild america as she intended that's the reason bridges exists so take the first step sam and deliver the president's body to the incinerator if we don't all come together again humanity will not survive you're the one i wanted to send time's running out i love you sam [Music] i'll be waiting for you on the beach [Music] the facilities to the southwest remember that you'll be passing through bt territory we built the incinerator way up in the mountains so that the chiral matter in the smoke wouldn't reach the city it won't be easy carrying a body up there we'll be monitoring you around the clock if anything comes up we'll offer you support by the couplings [Music] so sam this is diehard dead man explained how to use the cuffs right use them to check the location of the incinerator sam i don't think i need to remind you but every minute counts when transporting corpses for disposal 48 hours following cardiac arrest they go necro and become a fresh pt to make our lives hell [Music] president bridget strand was the symbol of american reconstructionism even with the country shattered and its people scattered to the four winds she never stopped believing they could be reunited people held on to their hope that america would rise again because they believed in her we believe that this country can be rebuilt america lives on together with bridget's undying spirit sam sam he's our man hmm uh good [Music] time fall is imminent get back here now sam burn the other cargo while you're there [Music] what's this bb 28 it's the unit igor was assigned it was hooked up to you when we found you in the crater but why is it here because it's flagged for disposal central knot's gone and our headquarters along with it because that thing didn't do its job it's all in igor's logs but it's still alive it can't be repaired and it can't survive outside the pod period if you want but the decision has been made it has to go the director approved the order [Music] sam sam do you copy damn it must have lost you in the blackout sam what's your status hyrylium density is still increasing my status is [ __ ] there's tons of them must be from the bodies we couldn't get up to the incinerator in time comes with the territory i'm afraid can you sit out the rain no they're closing in on my position i have to move before they realize i'm in here sam if one of those things eats you it'll trigger a boy down you'll come back sure but the surrounding area will still be a greater i got an idea [Music] start your [ __ ] maybe you are defective [Music] that's it do you think hmm sam we're sending you some suggested routes back to the city pick one or don't just get the hell out of there ah [Music] uh [Music] sam come back to the distribution center check the location on your compass it's a miracle either of you made it back when someone with dooms hooks up to a bb your feelings and memories cause feedback like with the speaker it amplifies fears and stress and runs the risk of taking you to a place from which you will not return i'm sorry but this bp has been pushed beyond its limits disposal is the only option sam get cleaned up and come to the president's office we need to talk [Music] oh [Music] don't worry it's okay i'll always be with you you see the sunset the day is ending let that yawn out there's no pretense [Music] [Music] sam i thought i told you dooms and bbs were a dangerous combination huh perhaps a shower is in order you're still covered in chiralium don't want the president to see you like that the hell you talking about she's dead you're upset is this about bb28 go [ __ ] yourself i'm not your iron boy well in any event it seems it owes you its life no we are the kid our lives you too as you say i shall look after it give my regards to the president ugh [Music] it's almost time to go sam here it's a dream catcher wear it when you sleep and i'll keep the nightmares away i'll always be with you uh good morning sam sam this is die hardman there's a private room set aside for your use bridges perk take a moment to clean up wash all that chyrellium off then come to the president's office sake is it anything private anymore oh no except for taking a shower and going to the toilet that is i think that you were getting yourself cleaned up good come to the president's office as soon as you're done she's waiting for you you did well sam thank you bridget may no longer be with us but her legacy has a chance to live on sam listen to me america reconstructionism her dream isn't dead i don't want to hear it this is the face of our new hope our new america [Music] homily [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] my mother may be gone but i'm here and you sam you're here too been 10 years since you saw each other right and in all that time she hasn't aged a day he knows why my body's still on the beach i don't get to grow older but you do sam you look good so you're serious then about reconnecting everyone and everything someone has to succeed bridget sam more importantly someone has to carry on her legacy and see our country rebuilt samantha america strand our new president a new beginning for our people for our nation under emily's leadership we'll re-establish the uca the united cities of america this is how we'll rebuild our country but we'll need your help to do it sam no i'm through with this i said my goodbyes to all of you when i set him to bridget we never forgot about you sam you ran away you cut us off emily put together an expedition the best of bridges won and went west [Music] i led them past craters in bt territory i kept them safe while they searched for survivors never once mr bt saw him coming a mile away we convinced community after community to join the uca and we left behind our own people to help them it took us three years but we managed to make it all the way to edge not city all the way to the pacific jesus yeah but then everything went to hell the team was wiped out and emily was taken taken i'm not being kept in a cell or anything like that i'm allowed to use their facilities and to speak with you whenever i want i just can't leave the city it's all to safeguard the continued independence of edge nut city that's what our keepers are saying at least they want the uca to leave them be emily's their insurance policy in case we don't who are these [ __ ] again homo demons militant separatist group they run hedge not city i've heard of them a bunch of terrorists who go around towns killing people and leaving craters right nothing's off limits for them not even engineering void outs you think the suicide that took out central not was one of theirs could be there are extremists like the demons everywhere plotting in the shadows they're decentralized by nature no one organization to rule them all just a common ideology i know not everyone shares our vision for the future if we americans don't come together again humanity won't survive i carried my mother's message to people all across the country but not everyone who's willing to accept it more than a few would rather stay isolated keep to themselves go it alone [Music] like you sam they think that america can only be rebuilt by force by men who tell them what to do who take away their freedom and put them in shackles would you put on me huh you know better than the demons just another kind of cult they're not shackle sam they're a symbol of our bonds that's what we need right now not to stand apart but to come together to form chiral knots and reconnect sam we want you to go west and finish what emily started the people she left behind have been hard at work setting up cairo network terminals but these terminals are still isolated we need you to bring them online and for that you'll need a cupid [Music] this contains all the necessary security and operations protocols to integrate a terminal into the cairo web take the cupid west sam and reconnect the people of our great nation and when you get to edgenot city find emily and bring her home after that i'll take over the presidency and carry on mother's work to save the country this was bridget's dying wish this is how we'll move forward please sam we need you i'm sam porter bridges now i'm not a strand hell i'm not even part of this outfit you all saw to that i'm not getting involved with you or anyone else ever again wait [Music] see it's like i'm not even here same as it ever was sam sam hold on stop listen to me america needs you both of you yeah covering the world in cable didn't bring an end to war and suffering don't act surprised when it all comes apart if you try to do it again round and round it goes connect reconnect it's not that simple all right all right sam just take it easy i get it you don't have to commit to anything now why not get some rest good idea we all need our sleep leave it too long and you're liable to reconnect with the other side the necessary maintenance has been completed various adjustments and fine-tuning for your benefit you can use it again once it would seem that dooms and bbs are a good combination [Music] or perhaps the two of you have something of an affinity for one another [Music] sam [Music] listen you are sam strand no i'm not anymore my name is sam porter bridges it's a funny word strand a strand is part of rope or bond while stranding means being washed up on the shore and being stranded is when you can't go home i'm stranded now sam here on the shore of the pacific [Music] thousands of miles away but our bond still holds [Music] you're free but we're still connected don't tell me we're not [Music] uh come back sam [Music] i'll be waiting for you [Music] so wait good morning sam [Music] sam this is die hardman you robbed like a log must have been beat private rooms come with all the basic amenities shower toilet etc drop in when you need the rest inspect your gear review info or whatever else if you have any questions feel free to ask our staff but before you do why not check things out for yourself see how bridges operates these days um uh hmm sam hartman here researcher devoted to uncovering the secrets of the beaches and the death stranding as well as those of dooms and repatriates when you relieve yourself a certain amount of chiral matter is flushed from your system chiral matter can adversely affect hormone secretion and nervous function there's a correlation between exposure and the development of phobias as well as in extreme cases violent and suicidal impulses chiralium contamination has even been postulated as a trigger for the onset of dooms allow me to collect a sample of your excretions for my studies they provide a non-invasive means to monitor your exposure to chiralium and your overall health [Music] [Music] sam this is dead man i calibrated your bb based on physiological data we collected from you earlier it's still just the best guess though after you take it out for a spin we can check if you're in sync and tweak the bb sensitivity as needed this case will remove any chiral matter still clinging to your suit speaking of suits blue is for delivery personnel red for medical orange for corpse disposal and black for security hey there believe we've met i oversee delivery operations as well as maintenance and repairs nice to have you on board i'm mama in case i didn't mention it before those there are strands not just used for packing by the way but for identification too take a closer look and you'll see see they're right there that's your blood well have you had a chance to think it over chock full of corellium but say for you dooms guys to wear that's all you need to go forth and reconnect the world to make us whole again i'm a porter i don't care about connecting anything or making knots but i'll do what i have to to help amelia listen up sam the terminals emily's people built in the towns and cities they pass through on their journey west are called knots the infrastructure's there but the cairo network is offline right now it's only capable of transmitting voice communications sometimes wired sometimes wireless and a small amount of data so unless the necessary data stored on site our chirograms won't show up emily and the other bridges members you've seen around the place are grams generated with local data in case you didn't know anyway all you've got to do is find the knot connect your cupid and bring chiral communications online once you connect it to the terminal you'll be able to initiate zero time massive data transmission with the uca network and just like that you'll reconnect us not only to each other but to our past [Music] all the lost and fragmented junk data will be compiled and restored like bringing a dinosaur back to life from a fossil [Music] 4.6 billion years of history on earth all the wisdom and knowledge we lost since the death stranding will be ours again and that my friend is how we'll beat this thing once you establish chiro communications generating grams won't be an issue you'll also be able to use chiral printers won't be long before we're able to send all kinds of things through the wire except anything original or that's got a soul nothing real just copies true which is why we'll still need porters like you before and after we're made whole we'll need men in the middle no rest for the wicked huh [Music] yeah well idle hands and all that we'll give you the details at the dispatch terminal make sure you check it upstairs drop's waiting up there too these shoes look like they've done some serious miles shall i dispose of them wait hold on there's something i want you to look into my blood seemed to set those things off happened more than once set them off how do you mean i don't know you took my blood didn't you you tell me all right i'll see what i can do hmm oh [Music] [Music] i'm sorry lisa don't worry i'll take care of him maybe maybe [Music] myself sam this is dai hartman your current objective is to extend the cairo network from here to port not city but don't think you can make a beeline straight forward signal won't carry that far to cover the distance we need to utilize knots think of it like tying ropes together to make a longer rope the first of these knots is a bridge's weigh station go ahead and take a look at the order deliver whatever they need and connect the cupid [Music] sam order summaries may contain information critical to your success make sure to review them before getting underway sam now we've supplied you with some rope and a ladder for this run they should help with the steeper inclines and the ladder will also make a halfway decent bridge if you need to cross a river right now i figure you're thinking about how you want to handle this order [Music] have a pleasant journey sam triple checked your load out i take it sam even the best porters have been known to lose their cargo but you're better than the best you've got what it takes to finish what they started if you come across any abandoned shipments consider taking them to their intended destination it's easier than you might think see all our packages are tagged with bridges ids for easy tracking your deck is equipped with a scanner which might detect set ids which is a roundabout way of saying but that thing on your shoulder can help you locate mislead shipments remember sam every parcel is made and they're counting on you to deliver [Music] so so uh [Music] oh [Music] [Music] you're clear of bg territory the death stranding is to blame for all of this the gazers the fall of america everything it warped the world beyond recognition humanity had to scramble like rats fleeing a sinking ship but there's nowhere else to go there's no future living like this if we're to survive we need to find another way a way to overcome the bts the death training the whole damn mess beginning stand scanning bridges id verifying id clear cargo verified thank you delivering cargo thank you we've all been feeling the loss of central not city no one seemed to know what it meant for the organization or the uca or us the oxytocin will take the edge off and that'll be a big help won't be long before we're back on track this is great thank you again yeah everything looks to be in good order and soon our way station will be too i hope you're with the second team right where are the others dead caught in the void out now why that one blast got them all and what they just sent you out on your own i mean if it was just a delivery that'd be one thing porter's come through from time to time but the second team was meant to bring the cupid they were going to connect us up three years we've been waiting for help three years and they sent us one guy to use [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] tell me you brought more than the oxy at least i've got the cupid you really so it's true i finally got it working well then you just might be the answer to my prayers so what are you waiting for but you put us on the goddamn grid [Music] connection to capital not city confirmed it's really happening just like homily promised we can finally do what we came here to do hey you're headed west right gonna be a lot of people happy to see you i guess you'll keep until you hit the coast huh which means you'll get to see amelie in person oh that's something that is really something me i've never met her only seen her hollow messages back when i was with the first expedition well anyway you best be careful on the road there's some bad people out there more than good some say but i don't need to tell you that thank you sam by bringing that way station into the cairo network you've put it in direct contact with those of us back here in capital not city right what's next west of the way station are a couple of structures our previous expedition put in place and beyond them is your next destination port not city it's on the shore of a crater lake that formed after the first void out your objective is to link up port and capital not but to do that you'll need to utilize our facilities as additional waypoints they'll be essential for establishing a stable connection given the distance we need to cover we're looking at using a distribution center and a power station as to which you should head more first start with the distro center we've got some cargo that needs delivering anyway check the nearby delivery terminal to pick it up heads up sam your cargo's been pained move now before someone has eyes on you get to your destination asap if you don't want to get caught [Music] huh hills gave you trouble huh good thing it was raining even they know better than the mess with bts [Music] [Music] something wrong sam i don't know it doesn't look so hot nothing to worry about its functions are temporarily suspended but they can be restored i can perform the necessary maintenance at a distribution center hurry though when the strain on your bb exceeds sustainable levels it triggers the production of harmful compounds and the body in essence begins to attack itself it's called autotoxemia if your baby's not performing to spec drop by your private room and see if the incubator helps decontaminating suit rest is advised uh [Music] sam bridges with the second expedition right the guy expanding the cairo network on his lawsuit what is not out making deliveries so would you bring us let's see it talk about above and beyond thanks must have had to pass through bt territory to get here too didn't you they weren't joking when they said you were a legend okay it's time do you mind connecting us to the network [Music] [Music] sam as always thanks for bringing more folks into the uca looks like we're on the chiral network and with those materials you brought for our chiral printer we can produce supplies for you here as needed think of it as our way of returning the favor now head west and keep on doing what you do good the distro center is on the network sam do me a favor take your bb to a private room and connect it to the incubator [Music] dead man you there little help okay sam remove the pot and connect it to that incubator it's in good a temporary excess of stress easily addressed if we return it to its mother's womb mother uh located in the capital note city i see you brain dead of course ah you mean still mother correct a steel mother's womb facilitates a connection between the world of the dead and the bb and you in turn connect yourself to a baby granting you the ability to sense me tease these pods were designed to simulate the conditions inside a still mother's womb babies need to believe they're in one at all times to function properly however we can only maintain this deception for so long which is why we must periodically update the environmental data by synchronizing it with a steel mother via the chiral network there the update is in progress right now the body is synchronizing with the steel mother in capital note city and reconfiguring its settings based on the latest data returning your bb to the womb in this manner will temporarily reduce its stress levels that being where it technically belongs of course kid looks happy i'll try adjusting the oxytocin dosage outer toxemia should set in much slower from now on you should remember that bbs are just equipment try not to get attached each one has been physically removed from its steel mother's womb a process that renders them unpredictable and prone to failure no bb on record has remained in service for over a year it may need to be retired before this expedition is over and then you're saying there's no way to keep my baby alive [Music] you must understand there is still a great deal we don't know about bbs as we expand the cairo network and recover more past data perhaps we'll find our answers uh oh right you asked me to look into why the bts might be reacting to your blood i spoke with hartman we should have your results soon anyway get some rest you and your bb are both exhausted good night sam [Music] foreign london bridge is falling down falling down falling down london bridge is falling down my fair lady sam can you see me how are things over there still not under guard still not chained up still can't leave but if you can keep making connections if you can get to me we can go back east back home thank you i mean that it's bad there are fewer and fewer people in the cities these days no one's having children anymore but humans aren't made for living alone they're supposed to come together to help one another and if we as a people can't do that if we can't reconnect then well it's like bridgette said extinction come on rebuilding america isn't gonna get rid of the bts long as they're still around there's no escaping it but at least we'll have hope [Music] i'll be waiting sam [Music] waiting for you come and find me [Music] hello sam this is hardman since you're awake it might behoove you to freshen up to that end why not take a shower it's good for the body and so and also my research as it happens sam this is hard work dead man will let your request to me and i oversee et research i'll be taking a sample of your shower water in order to study the effects your bodily fluids might have on a bt study other people with dooms everyone enriches myself and mana results thus far are inconclusive but you possess other singular qualities being a repatriate as well i must confess to a measure of optimism processing fluids waste products dispensing that take the sample with you should the opportunity arise try using it on a bt i'm curious to see how they react who knows it may even prove beneficial to you there was an old research paper detailing the effects of bodily fluids from individuals like us on bts it is only by recovering these materials that we can unearth the knowledge of the past not just the death stranding but also the mystery of your body's unique properties and even our doom's affliction there may well be hope for humanity sam i have no interest in rebuilding america i want to recover the past oh it's almost time after you make your connections and nothing happens then what i said then what sam sorry to bother you while you're taking a break but i figured you'd want to hear this hell maybe it'll help you rest easier we received the number of messages addressed to you and i've not taken a look myself but i gather them mostly from your clients you should see if they contain any useful information mail can be accessed via your cufflinks as well as the terminal in your private room there's something else i'd like to share with you with the cairo network we now have the power to reclaim our past data once thought lost forever from every corner of america can be pieced back together from fragmented records our archives are still a work in progress of course but as we expand the network and integrate more way stations and cities we'll be able to recover more and more information such as the previous expeditions logs and reports everything they sent back was lost when central not city was destroyed now we've managed to restore some already in fact you can access them from a private room terminal or your cuff links by selecting archives might make for interesting reading [Music] this isn't what we agreed on you said you'd do everything in your power to save bibi but we cannot release your son just yet believe me when i tell you it's for the best system woman in a mask who's done nothing but lie to me [Music] scanning bridges sam there's something i forgot to tell you it's about managing your bb stress levels and reducing the risk of autotoxamic attacks there are a few things you can do if your bb starts showing signs of distress such as such as take a moment to look after it cradle the pot gently rock it that sort of thing out of curiosity how's it doing at the moment uh before i answer that something wrong when i hook up my bb i see things what kind of things like a face someone i don't know calling to me there's this room too with other people talking but i can't make out the words bleed through effect didn't i warn you about this you're mistaking the bb's memories for your own they're false flashbacks nothing more let me explain a bb is harvested from its steel mother at around 28 weeks and placed in a pot to be clear this is before it's even born the procedure holds its development but even at 28 weeks its sensory systems have matured enough to process external stimuli it is more than capable of encoding this information into memories which can bleed into yours via your connection so who's the man i saw someone from the medical team maybe or a bb technician does it matter the bb has been in circulation for a while now it's been handled by a lot of people should i know which one made an impression because you're the expert no one's an expert sam bbs were developed decades ago in secret they're your quintessential black boxes we may use them but we don't truly understand them believe me i've been trying to learn more but almost all of the old records are gone if i find anything out i'll tell you all right dead man's honor sam check the delivery terminal and review the list of orders while you're arresting i ran some network diagnostics corellia monitoring and holographic systems are nominal unfortunately our printer is offline i know i know after all the trouble you went through to bring us those materials this one's on us we ordered a part a while back but it never arrived the printer needs it to communicate with the chiral network mules must have snatched it caught that porter on route or something if i'm right they'll have taken it to their drop site which is smack dab in the middle of their territory don't suppose you'd be up for stealing us our property back can't think of anyone more qualified than you that thing you're holding is a crystal collector as the name suggests it provides secure storage for any crystals you gather allow me to describe your quarry chiral crystals appear gold to the naked eye and are frequently found in formations resembling human handprints surrounding rocks and debris tend to float a few feet above the ground and they are most commonly found in areas with high precipitation got all that rain floating rocks golden hill prints that's your trifecta look for these three things and you'll find the crystals if you've been especially observant then perhaps you already know where to look sam cairo crystals are pretty small and can be difficult to spot with the naked eye i'd advise you to use your ultradeck to point you in the right direction if you want to survey a wider area though you might consider building a watchtower and relying on its sensors almost there [Music] the process is pretty simple though access the delivery terminal to drop off any type of crystals you're carrying got some chiral crystals for us these crystals only form in places with elevated carylium levels which makes me wonder if expanding the network had something to do with it damn son that is a lot of crystals maintenance and rfd will both get their fill looks like oh before i forget this is for you [Music] that's container repair spray for patching up cargo containers good for dealing with time fall degradation and all that useful stuff if you and your cargo have been through the ringer we've added it to your supplies list so it's readily available if and when you need it there is a correlation between elevated corellium levels and increased crystal formation this may well be the result of the network's expansion you need to worry though local chiral density is still within an acceptable range if you find any more be sure to collect it you'll be well rewarded if you come into more chiro crystals you can submit them at one of our facilities and you can deposit other resources too along with any items you don't need everything has its value what we don't use as is can be broken down into components for r d and other applications call it a rule or a habit but most mules almost always bring stolen shipments home with them find the post box steal back the cargo simple as that but be careful these guys are armed if this goes sideways be ready to fight so um oh mules damn addicts chasing a car go high shame we got to deal with their [ __ ] at all back in the day ai did everything deliveries were handled by unmanned vehicles and drones all we had to do was sit back and let them work it was revolutionary damn near singularity no reason for it not to take off but it didn't people didn't like it when we took the human element out of the service industry so after some consideration we put it back in made jobs no one really needed engaging the folks who couldn't live without them and from there it snowballed now we got cults of cargo chasing crazies who get off on hijacking shipments jackal's always on the lookout for the next quarter make sure you're not keeping him [Music] time to get that chiral printer in working order sorry to push you through so much trouble but trust me it'll be worth it excellent the unit doesn't have a scratch on it never doubted you'd come through for us [Music] sam how are your shoes holding up not too well i imagine conditions being what they are out there nothing ruins your day like shoes falling apart while you're on the job carry on like that and it's only a matter of time before you injure yourself i've arranged for boots to be added to your supplies bridge is standard issue so they ought to fit you fine you should always carry an extra pair but if you forget or run into trouble you can fabricate another by a terminal at one of our many facilities congratulations sam i understand you now have access to a cairo printer an extraordinarily useful device that can only function because of the manner in which our network utilizes the beach enabling us to transfer massive volumes of data instantaneously since under normal circumstances such transfers would take hours if not date some have speculated that the chiral network might in essence be a time machine that it is transmitting data into the past suffice it to say we have yet to fully grasp the fundamental nature of the network and the beach which we have come to rely on one might liken our relationship with it that of primitive mans with fire is it useful quite is it dangerous undeniably so nevertheless we have decided that the reward outweighs the risk furthermore as the bts are linked to the beach it stands to reason that further study and experimentation could be of considerable benefit the same can be said regarding you of course rest assured i will keep you apprised of what i learn you have my word good work beginning okay sam make your way to the designated construction area for the bridge the foundation should already be in place with your help we'll have the thing finished in no time there should be a terminal nearby access it to submit additional materials weapons restrictions lifted sam looks like you found the site there should be a terminal nearby access it to submit additional materials bravo sam that bridge should make life easier for a lot of people you can be sure that every traveler and porter who passes that way will put it to good use keep an eye out for other spots that could do with another well-placed bridge beginning scan scan bridges id verifying id clear all weapons will remain locked until departure cargo verified thank you delivering cargo thank you with this unit we should be able to power the distro center via the chiral network other places too if it works here's hoping the uca can put our electricity to good use mind if i have a look incredible how'd you get this here you fly all we need now is a connection to the chiral network go for it thank you [Music] network bandwidth is a limited resource and every structure you build consumes it however as you increase your connection level the bandwidth available to you will increase as well about time we did our part thanks again you know i heard the rest of your team was wiped out makes what you're doing all the more incredible you're a one-man expedition i hope emily's doing as well as you wonder if she made it to edgnaught city yet it was her that put us in charge of the wind farm i was with the group bringing up the rear while omely led the way i never met her in person but it was an honor to travel with her all the same when you see her feel free to tell her i said so huh sam got a moment i ran an experiment with your blood it seems you were onto something after dispersing an aerosolized sample of your blood in bt territory we observed reduced activity while this is hardly definitive as we have no other repatriates to whom we can turn for additional testing it does suggest that the bodily fluids of repatriates are repellent to bts mama had the idea of developing a weapon to test this theory the prototype should be ready soon and when it is we'd like you to test it sam this is the perfect opportunity we've almost got the whole region on the cairo network all that's left is port not city return to capital not city so you can pick up relief supplies for portnop by the time you arrive we can give you the completed prototype in person one other thing it's not very often porters get out to that wind farm while you're there you should pick up any outstanding orders no sense coming all the way back here empty-handed if there's work to be done have a look at that delivery terminal hey sam you could probably get that bike running again if you charged into the generator why not give it a try weapons restrictions lifted sam i received word from mama that she's completed her anti-bt weapon prototypes of her design form a part of your next shipment a delivery of relief supplies for the people of portnon city fortnite cities are a fair distance from bt territory but the weapons should come in handy if any stray too close they'll also provide people with the means to defend themselves when traveling outside the city limits the shipment also includes a variety of medicines as well as human sperm and egg samples these specimens are essential for maintaining genetic diversity as they were donated by civilians living outside the major population centers by taking advantage of kyrellium's temporal properties we can ensure they remain viable for as long as required after the shipment's been processed connect the cupid now once that's done the entire region will be integrated into the cairo network afterwards you'll be pushing on to lake knot city so we've included relief supplies for the people there as well of course to get there you'll need to cross over the lake in between details on that will be in a second order you'll need to accept then without a doubt this will be your longest run for us to date make sure you've got everything you need order a sign let's roll you'll be crossing the lake so you should make any pending deliveries before then take a look at your map and figure out the most pressure way to get to all the places you need to go a silence [Music] suit battery low please charge vehicles [Music] you the porter the one-man army said to do the work of a team you and your two feet to fill all their boots cargo's in perfect condition i won't lie that's some feet so are you here to usher us into a new cairo age or some [ __ ] yeah that cool hell yeah go for it been waiting forever to date for this [Music] is [Music] wait where'd you get that that little guy same as mine where the hell did you get it yeah i can't really say with the little guy he came with the pod if you got to know and who would you get the pod from igor from corp's disposal my little brother so what he just gave one of these to you why i was there with him at the end we were moving a body things went to [ __ ] there's bts everywhere and one of them grabbed him so he told me to take it and run that right so what's your story you live to a catastrophe like that only to keep on doing the same work okay been a long time coming i suppose you take good care of that little guy he belongs with the expedition with you all right better if you take this with you too i reckon can't think of anyone who could use it more sam you've done it port not city is back on the bread this community a part of the uca their data a part of our shared wisdom with enough time and enough cairo printers they'll be able to build ships and one day the waters will be ours again all because you led the way though what follows in your wake isn't always good any city that joins the uca becomes a bigger target for the terrorists but we have to accept the dangers and press on no matter what the rest of america is waiting sam waiting for you to take the first step and connect them to the chiral network i know you can reach them make us whole again thanks one more sea in the uca huh so you fixing across the lake and head west yeah we got a boat no not for years now terrorists took out everything bridges that float only boat in town belongs to a private courier private courier don't tell me fragile express that's the one i already spoke at their rep i'm having them load the boat with some of the supplies you brought us i bet the folks in the lake not will be tickled pig to see someone coming to pour been a while i expect head on down to the harbor when you're ready it's right outside the distro center [Music] don't worry fortnite never gets the rain feel free to rest up in your room before you head out your work is greatly uh good morning sam blood collection complete thank you for your generosity [Music] oh brought you an astronaut mankind can go anywhere even outer space you'll be out of there in no time and the second all this is over i'm gonna take him wherever you wanna go [Music] lessons beginning [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] the names pigs the particle of god that permeates all existence so it was you that dragged him into all this bloodied but unveiled strand is dead america's last president dead and burned and now the girl's been chosen to take mommy's place well that won't wash she's not cut out for politics is she but don't worry i'll find her and i'll keep her real safe you see i've come to understand the truth of the death stranding oh there's so much you people don't know the girl for instance she's not like you or me dooms ain't her thing and she's more into destruction on a worldwide scale an extinction entity oh it's so hard to form connections when you can't shake hands fortunately i've got a good connection to the other side now you you're no bridge to me i'm bound to all of it this world that world and our student little angel of death wow you're on the menu all it'll take is one itty-bitty boy out to blow us all that kingdom come so how about it you getting tired of the grind isn't this what you've been waiting for this whole time a game over heads up sam according to our damage assessments it would only take a single boy out to total fortnight city a single bt allowed to make contact with a civilian would be enough [Music] incredible simply incredible for the first time in history a human being has defeated a bt were you not a repatriate i doubt it would have been possible not only does contact with your fluids post no risk of triggering a void out but in much the same way as your car is rejected by the beach your blood can be used to expel metis from our world and return them to the other side you've given us hope sam perhaps we may yet be saved be proud my friend emily's still waiting for you in the west head to your boat it's ready get those supplies to lake not city we're just getting started gonna catch a ride on that boat sam before you do be aware that you'll have to leave behind any cargo you haven't gotten around to delivering it'd be a shame to abandon something important though especially if you are close to finishing a run my advice put that stuff in your private locker in fortnight city or if you're feeling responsible you could just delay your boat trip until you've tied up loose ends it's your call snack you came through then i don't break that easy name not standing you saw that [ __ ] too right higgs he's the leader of a separatist group seemed to me like he was controlling that bt that's level seven for you higher maybe seems like you know a lot about them used to work together guess you could say we had a contract you did business with terrorists whoever pays huh he wasn't like that back then so what's your angle you want to save the world you want to [ __ ] it all up like him i was shy i just wish things were different all right here's all right don't worry she still floats come on we're the only cargo left [Music] so we should get there tomorrow i told you before sam the past just won't let go [Music] [Music] listen i have something to ask of you [Music] it has to do with that [ __ ] hicks [Music] uh sam do you remember [Music] it's almost time to go sam i had no idea until you told me no idea that i was alive living is no different from being dead if you're all alone poor woman i don't want to go home i don't want to go home [Music] [Music] here it's a dream catcher wear it when you sleep and i'll keep the nightmares away i'll always be with you [Music] did you forget how to go home come on i'll take you halfway and then you can do the rest by yourself [Music] better now i'll be waiting for you on the beach come and find [Music] me we used to play together a lot in this place you brought me here i couldn't make the trip on my own so long as you have a body to return to you can't come and go as you please so you can't just come back east through here not until you make us whole again sam i'll be waiting for you on the beach [Music] come and find me i don't know how you sleep [Applause] me to pick me up welcome to light nut city what nothing let's go [Applause] this car goes from port nut city bound for late night i'll leave these up to you the dispatch terminal is up ahead in the meantime i've got some business to attend to later alligator [Music] uh [Music] welcome welcome you're watching your boat the whole way i hate to be a hard ass but i've got to ask everything you're transporting a boat board nothing dangerous or listen i'm sure they checked you on the way in but i'm gonna have to take a second look all clear not picking up anything unusual cargo looks great too been a while since we got some of this stuff sorry for the hassle can't be too careful these days oh we heard you were carrying a cupid that right you're clear to lick us up [Music] here so we're finally on the network long time coming we won't hold anything back capital not studio will get everything if all this info sharing makes everyone safer i'm all for it you can bet i'm not the only one here feels that way i suppose it was better when bridges one first came this way at least i don't remember terrorists bts making our lives difficult back then well be careful out there world's not what it used to be and thank you finally made it past ground zero sam congratulations and thank you it'll only get harder from here though when we first came through it was different peaceful the three cities out there lake middle and south knot were all on board with our plans for reconstruction fragile express was contracted by all three and kept supplies moving and people connected but that all changed a year ago when the separatists carried out their attacks one took out middleman they detonated nukes from the old days half of southwest city went up in the other casualties were devastating bridges doesn't have the resources to link up the remaining cities on its own we need to secure the support of everyone even those who want nothing to do with the uca impossible as that may seem the situation has changed dramatically since bridges one first went west the destruction of middle nod in particular forced us to adapt a new strategy just like amelie said we don't have the time or resources to construct another knock on that scale that's why we've taken the cutting deals with preppers and the like our only recourse is to utilize their shelters to bolster the strength of the network it takes a special kind of person to live out here on their own the kind that'll tell us to [ __ ] off if we ask him to join the uca oh we know no one's expecting them to say yes up front but even if they don't like dealing with most people they got on okay with fragile express don't tell me you want to use her credentials to get in good with them bingo she's agreed to it too and in exchange she gets nothing really a chance to get back at higgs i suppose i can't blame her for wanting one he took everything from her and then some time heals some wounds but not hers the work ahead won't be simple or easy but it needs doing get some rest for now we'll talk more later your work is great hmm [Music] here [Music] for me it's called a keeper it means not in old words you can also use it to count stuff i add a knot when i make a friend okay then how about i add another knot every time i see you [Applause] [Music] this must be very important to you if you were able to bring it here very special it is special i made it for you [Music] i'll treasure it sam something to eat why are you here ask your boss man no i mean why are you here got a delivery for a porter you're gonna need this on the road ahead this will id you as an associate of fragile express it's woven from my blood and chiral crystals think of it as a kind of bond peppers around these parts won't give you trouble so long as you've got [Music] it we were the only people making deliveries out here this was our territory until higgs [ __ ] it all up me the express our reputation all of it and now you want to [ __ ] them back on your own [Music] i'm not on my own the cave portnot city next to your bed so far apart yet somehow we keep meeting all that beaty country in between where i should have been caught in a void out yet here i am here i am you can use the beach i have a beach you've got yours i've got mine i use it to jump across space i can't conjure up beauties the way he's can but i can go after him chase him to the beach problem is everyone's got their own way in i'm only allowed to pass through the beach i know and understand i'm sure you've heard the term multiverse [Music] you're all right the jumps take a lot out of me set my blood dry you're going to hedge not city right place is full of terrorists but if you're dead set on it then you're gonna have to deal with heat sooner or later look i make deliveries killing monsters and terrorists it's not what i do what if we did it together i could use my power to help you we don't have to want the same thing to be on the same side i could send you across my beach [Music] to any place the chiralion's thick enough any place connected to the cairo network what do you expect in return i expect you to think it over here call it an incentive and call me if you need me this will keep us connected see you when i see you huh ugh uh uh good work sam i knew you'd get what we need looks like the entrance is locked down not that we were planning to hit inside just yet no point in sticking around get that cargo back to the distro suit center clear welcome sam porter bridges [Music] back deliveries in damn fine shape so uh ah huh so [Music] excellent work sam that's exactly what we were hoping to find bring it back asap so we can get our people on it in case you're tempted to venture further in you should know that we haven't been able to crack the security system guarding the rest of the complex so focus on delivering that cargo welcome sam porter bridges [Music] so the legend return how you doing sam delivery's in damn fine shape [Music] sam we've cracked the latest door security codes you know the drill just look for a panel near the door like before [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yes [Music] [Music] so come on [Music] hmm oh [Music] food [Music] sam you're stuck in that room until you deal with those hostiles that's the only way to lift the lung down [Music] that's that then i'm not seeing any other active hostiles in your vicinity get out of there and resume your search for the terminal we need to establish remote access [Music] [Music] do [Music] sam the terminal's in that room isn't it submit the transmitter for processing [Music] great work sam with the transmitter in place we should be able to access and decrypt the remaining records and now that the terminal is under our control there's no need to worry about mules or anyone else stirring up trouble down there we'll upload our findings to the data archive so you can review them later for yourself again great work putting this on record in case you don't make it back in time i'm sorry i couldn't keep my promise remember when we took this facility hell bent on stopping bridges from making any more sacrificial lambs i thought i could save the bbs i really did but there's no stealing back a stolen life is there they were born into this world they were a part of it same as you and me they deserved a second chance but in the end i could only give that to one baby girl and even she didn't last long another child on my conscience along with all the other bbs they tricked us into carrying all in service to a new america so many crimes and we were complicit turns out the whole thing was the vice president's idea bridget knew nothing about it stumbled on that little revelation after you left just goes to show you can never be sure who the real enemy is anyway on my last legs case you can't tell cancer terminal if you come too late to see me off don't go carving me a headstone take it out on the bastards who built this place [Music] i need you to deliver a message to the best and most fragile part of me that i pray lives on i'm sorry i did everything i could and it wasn't enough but i had to try even if it meant leaving you even if it meant robbing you of the mother you deserved don't suppose you're wearing the other massage now are you i think of you every day if nothing else i hope you believe that i never stopped loving you and i never will bridget's wants to build a new american on the bodies of murdered children i left my family behind to gather men and women like you to mold you into the soldiers i needed to stop them peter you and my girl can lead the way you can make a better world together you can do it you're a fighter and a damn good friend of that i should know trust in each other trust in your methods trust in your vision of america and please keep my little girl close keep my fragile safe it's only right you're like a son to me which makes you her brother hmm sam access the late night city delivery terminal sam to review your present objective is to extend the cairo network from lake knot city to south nod city to that end you'll need to utilize prepper shelters as way stations frankly it won't be easy fragile tried to get some of them on board but you know how preppers are more than a few won't want anything to do with the uca so we've got to prove to them they're better off with us figure out what they need and what we can provide and then deliver do that and they just might agree to join us all right get to it the list of orders is on the terminal [Music] you're passing through mule territory move fast and quiet because if they see you they catch you to think that their parents reporters like you who risk life and limb to try and keep our country together and now their broken children carry on the work without any understanding of what it once meant it's a ritual to them the delivery an insatiable addiction they'll be coming for you to get their next fix fragile express id verified all weapons will remain until cargo verifies thank you delivering cargo thanks sam bridges i presume i've heard of you the man trekking across the country trying to reconnect folks i appreciate you bringing me this i do times have been tough without fragile express to handle deliveries let me just check the cargo huh wow you took really good care of this i'll let bridges know how the vnv testing goes thanks again i need you to understand something it's about fragile you might have heard she helped terrorists that she didn't care who got hurt but i'm telling you that's gotta be [ __ ] her and her people put their lives on the line to get us what we needed she's a hero through and through look i was born in the shelter the only world i've ever known is within these walls so when people talk about america i can't even begin to imagine it but if that cupid connects me to everyone else i won't have to so yeah i want to join the uca i want to see what i've been missing uh [Music] and with that my standalone 3d printer is capable of chiral printing assuming it works the evo devil unit should enable me to replicate all kinds of archived objects we can rebuild america one piece at a time in the meantime i can use the network to see what's going on in the cities track mule and terrorist activity it's like you brought me the whole wide world in that package thank you sam let's do business again oh yeah i've got a little something i'd like you to put through its paces an assist unit i developed myself works perfectly in sim trials but i need someone to test it out on solid ground and if it makes your job a little easier all the better verify all weapons will remain locked until departure cargo verified thanks delivering cargo you're not with fragile express are you oh i get it bridget is using their ids to complete the delivery well good work son i'll take that off your hands package looks brand new wow been a while since i've seen cargo in such good shape thank you kindly i know it couldn't have been easy what's your angle anyway everyone knows fragile is behind the attack that wiped out middlemont city only a damn fool trusts that terrorist to deliver [ __ ] now but here you are filling in keeping her business alive for her am i right i swear can't trust anyone these days don't try sweet talking me onto your little network you know why there's been so many terrorist attacks recently because you all pissed them off with your talk of reuniting the country join the uca i might as well paint a bullseye in my shelter just keep my deliveries coming we'll get along just fine i don't need any trouble though i will say i appreciate these hermetic grenades of yours quality work gotta admit not the sort of equipment the uca ought to keep to itself there's a lot of freelance porters operating in these parts after all if i could turn these out by the boatload and gear up those folks now you're good people i can see that and you brought my order like i asked but it'll take more than that for me to agree to what you're asking chiral network is a big step but if you could prove to me bridges is an organization i can trust what about this do another run for me i'll put the details on the terminal there good work new order available please access delivery the toolkit you're looking for ought to be in my old shelter it's been tagged so shouldn't have any trouble finding the place i'll unlock it remotely once you get there oh and take some of those dramatic grenades you brought with you nothing you'll want more when those bts put your back again so all right here's hoping it won't come to that order a sign [Applause] oh uh [Music] uh [Music] use of weapons delivering cargo what you're kidding me you actually went into that hello you don't know what this means to me a whole lot of memories in these old tools the kind of stuff you can't replace with a chiral printer i was giving you an impossible mission oh yes now we're talking whether you see the weapons i make with these sam bridges you are incredible thank you you know to be fair fragile and our crew never did me wrong could say i owe them even if they're running with higgs now but it makes them as bad as him don't it it's as if all the [ __ ] terrorists are coming together like one big happy family might be time for us to do the same maybe there's hope for us after all at least if there's more folks like you in the uca safety and numbers huh and the new america to boot connect me to the chiral network [Music] [Music] right now you're looking out for me it's only fair that i look out for you so long as you keep me connected keep on supplying you with my best tools and together we all might live a little longer oh by the way check out this beauty i made it's called a buller gun to keep anyone from giving you trouble for a minute it's not lethal of course they can't promise it won't leave marks but that's on there if you think you'd use it take it ebola gun huh that could come in handy as is you can use it to restrain human targets without killing them but swap out those wires with strands spun from your blood and it might even work on bts go ahead give it a whirl well you've done your bit time for me to do mine good work new order available please access delivery excellent work sam you've brought three way stations into the fold the preppers are on the grid and the cairo network is looking better than ever we're planning to use a regional distro center as our next way station but that'll have to wait got a priority task here a mess in need of cleaning up we need you to recover one of lake not city system servers they sent it out for repairs and mules hit the transport on the way back the server contains validation data for a new delivery system we're deploying once in place it will use the cairo network to automate deliveries to us it's invaluable to the mules it may as well be a toaster a toaster they'll happily tear apart for the cairo crystals and rare earth metals inside if we don't act quickly we could lose that data so get your ass to the mule's drop site snatch the server and bring it back to lake not city i'm putting the order in myself check your cufflinks for details [Applause] foreign huh [Music] [Music] [Music] all clear welcome sam quarterback [Music] welcome welcome iron man said to expect you oh you've got the server here let me have a look at it nice the great deliverer comes through again the server is in perfect condition it's a real relief to know all our records are safe thank you so much thanks sam with that data we can finally move forward with our plans for the new automated delivery system i'll tell the boys to start testing the bots right away now you'll need to take it to the distro center south of lake not city check the delivery terminal whenever you're up for more work the prepper's had some things to say about fragile you sure we can trust her that business with higgs thought i told you she hates him with a passion enemy of my enemy as far as i'm concerned don't take my word for it though just ask her and judge for yourself i'd like it or not we need her help [Music] sam it's fragile a year you brought three preppers into the network and delivered everything they needed that's some good work long as we're shooting the [ __ ] you mind telling me what the deal is with you and higgs being hearing stories huh i'll tell you all about it in person meet me at the distro center south of lake not you're headed there anyway right good work new order we've prepped a prototype bot for transport now you'll need to take it to the distro center south of lake not city if these autonomous delivery bots prove reliable they could revolutionize our supplies distribution network a lot's riding on this so be careful out there order a sign uh good morning sam blood collection complete thank you for your generosity [Music] take a look this is what the world looked like hundreds of millions of years ago there's just one big continent and do you know what this is the moon i'll show you the real thing soon i promise [Music] the whole wide world will be ufx pro you'll be able to go wherever you want aim in the moon [Music] beginning keeping up [Music] you [Music] great job sam that road is a sight to behold this is only the beginning creating a transport network that spans the continent is key to our future that's why it's important that you utilize any and every paper you come across to rebuild our highways and byways imagine how much easier your worth would be if you could drive from coast to coast [Music] welcome sam porter bridges [Music] we were told you'd help with the ball testing too but before we get to that let's see how she's doing pretty has a picture got nothing bad to say these bots aren't designed to operate outside the network service area so let's get the distro center linked up already [Music] [Music] and there it is i'll start prepping for the tests you sit tight and wait for hq to ring much obliged sam now the bots can enter the final phase of testing i designed them myself you know my hope is that they'll lighten the load a little bit unlike human quarters if one goes down it won't cause a void out before the death stranding scientists used to fret over the singularity the possibility that someone might create an ai smarter than any human but it never happened machines don't cause void outs they can't die they don't have peaches no matter how far they come machines will never understand death like we do and because they'll never truly surpass us get on the delivery terminal i'll walk you through how to use the bots and don't worry i'll keep an eye on things from over here these autonomous delivery bots are designed to process some orders for you simple run-of-the-mill orders only take a look at what's available cargo transported by a bot is liable to get a little roughed up if the roads pour on the flip side a bot traveling on a well-maintained road is more likely to deliver cargo in better shape also faster in case it wasn't obvious keep that in mind when sending them out foreign um now we wait for the delivery bot to reach its destination as of today there's just one but if the test succeeds we'll move ahead with mass production then you'll be able to dispatch them yourself oh um seems i misspoke we managed to slap together another delivery bot for field testing you can decide how to use this one sorry baby's fussing again thanks sam we'll talk later good work sam these autonomous delivery bots will benefit everyone from folks in cities and way stations to preppers out in the back of beyond but you must be exhausted why not take a break i bet your bb could probably use one too and for the private room go on hmm um [Music] um sorry didn't mean to startle you you were sleeping when i dropped by thanks for the shower right look i gotta ask i've been hearing things about you she's in bed with terrorists don't trust her she's just another dumb ass he's [ __ ] over she's a goddamn hero that woman tell me sam what does america mean to you way my dad made it sound we were something special the glue that held it all together more than a nation a symbol of freedom and hope we could bring it all back if we kept on making deliveries and connecting people he was sure of it i was a wreck after he died that's when he's made his pitch together we can run packages from sea to shining sea back then he had a monopoly west of here we both stood to gain a lot from a partnership business was pretty good at first but then a year ago when those fanatics started stirring up trouble [ __ ] hide jacked our system somehow they got a hold of our security passes and used them to sneak into cities and just like that we're delivering guns and bombs instead of medicine and i didn't even know we were just cogs in a terrorist machine higgs was behind it all and on top of that he got his hands on an old-school nuke that i ended up carrying riding to middle not city you tell me that yeah it was me i blew it up [Music] could have been different if i wasn't so [ __ ] blind so i did everything in my power to stop south not city from getting destroyed i tried to get the nuke out of the sea [Music] but higgs was one step ahead he took his pound of flesh and then some some wounds they don't heal whatever time i've got left the rain took [Music] so there you have it everything's true except for all the lies i don't give a damn about bridges or putting america back together but i'm not about to let higgs and some terrorists take my father's legacy and [ __ ] all over it that's why i came to you so trust me now i'll be there for you sam all you have to do is call [Music] oh hey sam those new sites you've brought into the network have helped us to restore more of our archives unfortunately i still haven't managed to dig up anything about the bb's origins and i'm completely locked out of bb28 service record if i could at least access that i might be able to tell you why you've been experiencing those strange episodes well i'll keep at it you do the same [Music] hey except fragile he is dropping again it's all in your cuff logs and with the aid of the cairo network we were able to restore middle nut city's regional archives the records corroborate our story don't need you to tell me what's true what ain't i could hear it in her voice son of a [ __ ] [ __ ] her over good no reservations about working with her that i hope good news sam the bomb you sent out made it to its destination the test was a success got another one prepped for you to use thank you with my thanks [Music] order a sign have a pleasant journey weapons restrictions lifted [Music] beginning scan scanning bridges id verifying id click weapons delivering cargo hello sam bridges right we've been expecting you the gauge you brought is going to save a lot of lives let me do a quick inspection oh wonderful it's in perfect condition thank you once you connect us to the network we'll be able to share our measurements with everyone you mind doing the honors anyone [Music] i'm sure they told you but this weather station was built before the death stranding bridges one came and fixed it up unfortunately we lost contact with our weather satellites a while back interference from chiral clouds so it's been tough to measure chiralium levels and predict time fault but thanks to you this weather station can finally function as intended you made our jobs easier now let us do the same for you we won't let you down i promise take care i see you got the weather station back online excellent work sam when a region is integrated into the chiral network it's also brought closer to the beach in a manner of speaking there's a significant impact on chiralium levels and measuring that impact is one of the cupid's primary functions the more we know the more accurately we can determine where to expect time fall and when without the chiral network we'd be left guessing oh and thanks to your latest accomplishment you can now review the weather forecast via your conflicts check your map you'll see ought to come in handy when you're planting roots i'll keep an eye on the chiral density from right here in my lab it's not too far from south not city keep processing those orders and you'll put that region on the grid soon enough good luck sam good work sam that's one more site on the grid keep it up and we'll be finished before you know it the weather station's forecast should be visible to everyone on the cairo network now yourself included you can access them via your cufflinks could be useful when plotting your roots good work new order available please access delivery terminal for further information congratulations sam your pcc's leveled up so to speak it now has the capacity to produce more complex structures i'll let mama fill you in on the details sam i've added a safehouse schematic to your pcc it's a fairly large structure so it'll take a lot of time and materials to build but once complete it's pretty much identical to a private room give it a shot [Music] a floating carrier is a kind of tractor car chiral crystals keep it suspended in mid air allowing it to move unimpeded over rough terrain you can load one up with cargo and tow it to your destination with minimal effort if one's not enough for your needs you can hook it up to another and take two just keep in mind that carriers require a steady supply of cairo crystals to operate make sure you have enough to get where you need to go order a sign [Music] sam seems like you don't have enough resources to build that safe house make sure to take everything we earmarked for you okay sam find your way to the building site use your map and compass if you don't remember the way i'll contact you with additional instructions once you get close [Music] all right you've made it let's get that safe house built you good to go sam first equip your pcc and select safe house [Music] sam you'll want to get those materials over to the safe house sooner rather than later uh [Music] [Music] thank you sam this safe house will be a boon to countless others in the long run i'm not just talking about the porters who use it as a stop over on the way to the weather station but the people they help and the people they help we're all connected to someone else sam but you'll have the honor of being the first person to rest there uh [Music] predicting the weather is akin to predicting the future some animals have a kind of sixth sense that helps them to avoid danger but we have something far better the ability to gather data and act accordingly only humans possess this power to plan ahead we have the capacity to live each day imagining what tomorrow will be like and our imagination once gave rise to a rich vibrant culture but somewhere along the line we lost sight of tomorrow we reduced ourselves to animals focused only on the here and now [Music] delivering cargo thank you ridges has always been so good to us emily was a dear friend in the early days she saw the value in what we were doing and led the effort to get our farm up and running we've been waiting a long time to join the chiral network let's have a look at that wheat you brought shall we well they'll be did you really bring us this much how on earth did you manage oh bless you by the way you wouldn't happen to know fragile would you if you see her pass along a message for us tell her thanks for saving our hides if she hadn't stepped up south knots and our farm would have been wiped off the face of the earth she's a hero and you can tell her i said so all right the network think you can get us online [Music] another [Music] [Music] so sam you've been run down by mules after they pinged your cargo right well to help prevent that from happening again we've upgraded your own cargo scanner say you're about to get pinged if you time it right you can return the favor and cancel out their pulse with your own they'll be known the wiser and you can carry on without worry timing is everything though ah thank you now to start really using time fall to our advantage our farm will be a world first truth be told we've got some test fields but without the ability to predict time fall the results have been less than stellar the time fall around here was fairly regular so we had a reasonable idea of when to plant and when to harvest but then the terrorists went and threw everything out of whack too many dead too many craters weather became impossible to predict the network's forecast on help us get back on track thank goodness if all goes to plan we'll be able to expand our operation and use time for to cultivate whole swallows of land we'll continue our genetic research too of course and see if we can't find a way to help develop a sustainable ecosystem hell maybe we'll even stumble into some answers about the time fall while we're at it we got to work it out for us but i'm up for the challenge thanks again sam you've given us hope for a better tomorrow i can't wait for the harvest that's the way sam halfway there you can do it huh what would you look at that you've only just brought the time fall farm into the network and already we've got new orders may as well make use of the return trip good work though he calls himself a junk dealer now your client used to work in comms as a repairman could fix anything from simple wireless terminals to integral parts of the civic network he was a good man a pleasure to deal with but after the attack near south node city he changed not that i blame him we gave him plenty of reason to distrust us detected all weapons will be locked until departure delivering cargo so long time gone my girl all because of some terrorist nut jobs and our buddies at fragile [ __ ] express not to mention the bridges [ __ ] who had to go and kick the hornets nest whatever let's see the goods you make good time like you're supposed to that's your job isn't it as far as i'm concerned all you porters are no better than terrorists and nothing you say will convince me otherwise so take your cupid and [ __ ] off well okay then something tells me that if we want to win him over we need to figure out what really happened to that woman in the hologram he seems to think she died in the attack but we checked south not city's records and there's no death certificate for a woman matching her description which is why i asked fragile to look into it hey sam i was looking through my old client database on the off chance i might find our mystery woman and wouldn't you know it a pretty close match popped up facial invoice she's still alive our jungler's grieving for nothing i doubt he'll take our word for it though hang on he just posted another order probably just trying to push our buttons may as well check the delivery terminal and see what he wants good work order [Music] oh [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] uh [Music] ah [Music] huh all weapons will be locked until departure delivering cargo [Music] so oh [ __ ] you actually managed to get the goods out of there that takes balls well now it's more than i asked for not bad you know those ruins you went to wouldn't be ruins if fragile hadn't [ __ ] us over bridges too all that talk of rebuilding the country it's just stirring folks up my girl would still be alive if it wasn't for you people she was there when the terrorists tried to take out south knot she was already dead cause of you [Music] he's wrong she's in a shelter southeast of the ruins mind if i take over if he's not coming outside then it doesn't matter who yells at over the wire and i'm guessing he'll feel better taking it out on me hey bridges fragile says my girl's alive and i'm just supposed to believe her after what she did hell no you're gonna need to prove it and there's only one way out i'll give you something to take to this woman you found she says it's hers you bring her back here to me take this with you too it's a skeleton i made that improves stability and mobility threw together some of the parts i've got lying around just so we're clear i'm only giving it to you because i want to make abso [ __ ] sure you complete this delivery if my girl's still alive then when she sees what you're carrying she'll want you to bring her here you do right by me i'll do right by you good work new order available the order's been posted take a look at the delivery terminal according to the junk dealer the cairo hourglass is extremely fragile and that kind of cargo is best carried by hand that's a little something from the junk dealer sam that active skeleton is built for speed it's designed to augment muscle movement enabling you to travel faster there's even a boost function if you really need to hustle but it'll heat up battery about as fast as you eat up the ground to think he made a thing like that out of junk talent like his shouldn't go to waste order a sign beginning scan scanning bridges id fragile express id verified weapons detected all weapons will be locked until departure cargo verify thank you delivering cargo uh are you with fragile express no you're a bridges porter aren't you i'm not expecting a package oh it's nothing dangerous is it oh my lord i never thought i'd see this again let me have a closer look oh incredible not so much as a single scratch i can't thank you enough so i'm on the one and only chiral network now that's wonderful i'm happy to be a part of the uca [Music] ah you'll drop by again won't you take me with you please i have to see him again i made this for him you know when a terrorist attacked my mother and i barely escaped with our lives i tried to find him afterwards i did i just didn't know where to look but that's not why i stopped my mother never liked him she made us pretty clear but i didn't think she'd go as far as to lie so when she said he died i believed her until i heard that message it's him it's really him [Music] i should never have given up deep down i knew he was out there somewhere but i couldn't leave my mother all around so i tried to make my peace with it [Music] only i couldn't not even if i do wanted to i was stuck in the past unable to move on [Music] take me to him i'm begging you i'm ready to go right now if we want just say you take me [Music] as you know you'll be transporting a living human being for a change it goes without saying that any falls or heavy impacts sustained may result in injury to your client so proceed with caution now more than ever i'll hold the hourglass i don't want it to break order a sign weapons restrictions lifted it's not far from here i think look for the tarp wait bubbles up and spread that's how you can tell it'll swirl you up you're ready it's bottomless our soul claim the folks who use these faces to dispose of terrarium contaminated wrists and bodies too if you don't have time to burn them there's always the towel [Music] are you hurt thanks bridges i can't believe you're alive that's my life silly i thought you were dead my mom told me you were i kept it close always but after the attack it stopped working i thought about fixing it getting the sand flowing again but it felt too much like moving on like forgetting you well now i can both move on together you and me if you're ready of course man then i knew look better junk he fixed things made them like new again picking up some pieces and making the most of them that's what i do best too but this is one piece we don't need [Music] the only time that matters is a time i spend with you so let's count some moments ourselves together i'm asking you to marry me dummy [Music] i will i do yes [Music] don't hate mom please tell her this is what we want help her to understand and accept it because she needs us and i need her all right i'm pretty good at patching things up sorry i was such an [ __ ] i treated you and fragile like [ __ ] i'm gonna try and make a fresh start with my girl and though i can't do half of what you people do out there every day i'm ready to pull my weight if you need anything fixed i'm your man the uca can count on me it'll take some getting used to but it's past time we will join the ucas network i won't let you down i swear i will never forget you thank you oh uh [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Music] sam that whole region is connected to the cairo network now head for the next area to connect south not city you'll need to make a delivery from lake not city huh not sure i follow why not just get them on the network let them print what they need because you can't print everything you do know that right food medicine organic compounds that blood of yours that's proven so effective against bts none of that can be sent by the network only the old-fashioned way the people of south nod have been struggling ever since the last attack now if they're to survive they'll need all the supplies lake not can spare head back there and pick up the order by the way sometimes you might find yourself traveling home empty-handed right wasted trip i say make the most out of it by making sure you've always got an order on your back for instance one just came in from the junk dealer a joint request from him and the cairo artist looks like i think it'd be in everyone's best interest if you took it on check the terminal for details heads up sam i'm detecting abnormal chiral levels to the north of south not city the numbers indicate heavy time fall in the area it appears to be some kind of storm but nothing like anything i've ever seen before though truth be told i can't actually see it either the storm should be right outside my lap but with the baby i'm in no position to investigate doesn't seem to have done any real damage yet but would you mind looking into it for me just be sure to keep your distance all right decontaminating suit all clear welcome sam porter bridges [Music] come a long way hope your cargo held up as well as you looking good looking good yes you were the right man for the job so here's stuffy wrong motor and a pouch they're not like our usual supplies new designs like you heard i think a joke do you have made this i heard he was a pro but even so it's impressive work i'll notify hq and try to expedite evaluations hey just got the evaluation results from the people at the distro center for those prototypes you dropped off looks like both caught their eye the motor for one was impressive they really couldn't believe it was made from scrap it can be fitted to a modified truck and be ready to go in no time they contracted the junk dealers straight away and got it added to the list of supplies that can be fabricated they had good things to say about the pouch too contract has already been made and you'll find the pouch in your private room if you want to customize your backpack you'll need to drop by one anyway anyway i hope you appreciate what those two did for you and give this new gear a try good work new order available please access delivery terminal for further information [Music] uh uh uh [Music] ah the people down in south nut city have had to suffer through a lot of terrorist attacks lately they've not been receiving supplies regularly either no one's starving not yet but a sense of unease is spreading across the city we need you to bring them as much as you can of whatever you can food oxytocin the essentials you'll also be carrying seeds earthworm and insect protein paste organic chemicals and anti-bt weapons laced with your blood none of which can be sent by a cairo printer a delivery will remind the citizens they're connected to the rest of the country it will give them hope and if you can get them connected to the cairo network all the better something's been nagging at me though fragile checked in a little while ago saying that due to some instability with the beach she was having trouble making jumps until things settle down she won't be able to help you out fragile's at the distro center south of lake knot if you want to hear the rest of the story i marked a location on your map be sure to take a look by the way cairo density appears to be increasing across the board we're currently looking into what kind of impact this might have on cupid functionality no need for you to worry about all that though just keep on doing what you do best huh unable to process orders unable to process order please stand by until the problem can be rectified oh hi uh sam bridges i presume sorry about that the system seems to be on the fritz uh one of the packages wasn't processed properly and got left out of the order it says here the client is fragile herself someone double tagged it so the system couldn't tell whether it's for fragile express or bridges anywho really sorry for the hold up and uh careful the contents are fragile it's okay use of weapons is prohibited will be locked until departure decontaminating suit all clear welcome sam porter bridges oh hi uh sam bridges i presume says here the client is fragile herself careful the contents are fragile [Music] pigs sam what's wrong fragile son of a [ __ ] it was him what are you talking about the package i picked up for you the one from lake not hold on i wasn't expecting any package he said fragile herself was the client the system was down so some bridges delivery guy had to hand it over in person who look the point is it was higgs come on i need to see it now [Music] it's a nuke not again the bastards can do this to me again the timer's already started i can't stop it we only have one option sam we've got to get rid of it take it down to the crater and next to south node it's a tar pit damn your bottomless if we chuck it in there we just might have a chance all right seth i've added the location of the crater lake to your map get the nuke there asap and dispose of it restrictions uh [Music] sam you're at the lake aren't you hurry up and get rid of that goddamn duke jesus that was close you saved the city and everyone in it i love a lot more than i ever did maybe there's no way of saving metal not but south not still here because of me and you [Music] so [Music] what happened to you [Music] by the time i realized what hicks was planning the nuke was already at the city gates i followed the delivery truck and somehow managed to carry the bomb to safety but higgs had been on to me from the start he caught me red-handed outside the gates nuke still cradled in my arms like a child so as punishment he strips me down to nothing and then he makes it rain i got a proposition for you do you want to live out your days as damaged goods or would you rather take damage for the goods get to the point all right if all you want is to save yourself you just have to jump however if you want to see this altruistic streak of yours through then you'll have to carry my nuke to the bottomless pit and toss it in oh sure you'll be the city savior but you will have to walk naked through time fall to do it trade a lot of your time for a little bit of the cities hell seems like a fair exchange to me you see the truth is i don't much care for my face it's why i hide it oh but you oh you just love yours don't you i bet daddy was real proud don't worry i won't mess it up see i want your face to be a kind of testament did you do it why did you betray me because i found someone who completes me someone who doesn't need me to wear a mask oh [Music] word to the wise even if you do save south you'll always be the nut job who blew up that'll not oh and that pretty face of yours will always be remembered as the face of a terrorist they'll never stop hugging you believe me i know well they can slap a sticker on you but you're still gonna break in transit so what's it going to be i'll take the damage and the goods i don't break that easy oh well good luck with that i'll take the damage in the goods i don't break that easy [Music] because i'm fragile but i'm not that fragile [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] uh [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] well there it is are a goddamn hero he did the right thing this belongs to you i'm no hero sam that choice i made i've regretted it ever since all i had to do was jump and i could have saved myself but instead you saved a city and more than that you gave people hope well now there's only one person left for me to save i'm gonna make hits regret he ever crossed me by killing him can't he's way more powerful now than he was before but you could take him you could but promise me promise me you'll leave him alive there's something i want to ask him to his face i didn't think you were capable of torture i am now and i want to know why he betrayed me [Music] do you want it [Music] sam don't forget about the supply run to south not city outstanding sam now let's get your cargo to south not city and put those people on the network discriminating welcome sam porter bridges [Music] great to see you man you don't know how much we've been looking forward to this a lot of people hurting here gotta start with those who need it most given this quantity everyone ought to get a share we really appreciate it so the truth the chiral network is finally becoming a reality i can't believe it it really can feels like a dream almost this is not a dream yes we want to be part of it [Music] [Music] i don't think we could have survived without outside assistance the chiral network could make a huge difference make repairs more manageable it could help us finally get back on our feet you've given us a gift more precious than you know when we lost middle not city felt like there'd be no end to the violence i woke up every day thinking it might be our last yet here we are by the grace yeah well let's just say i don't believe in miracles or luck hell no i believe in people and it was people that saved us just like you did today now it's our turn to pick up the pieces and do the same for others i'm sorry i got to get this to everyone we really appreciate it good work sam i'll see that your supplies are ready and waiting suppose i don't need to tell you to take care when you come fetch them thanks sam you've saved south not city and brought our people even closer together you're halfway there halfway to making us whole again listen there's something i need to tell you sam emily's connection just dropped we've been rooting our calls through the old system must be a problem with the lines i'll look into it let's just hope it's nothing more serious sam i'm detecting a chiral spike right in your vicinity these numbers are off the charts this might explain the sudden service interruption whatever is causing it can pose a threat to the not cities get out there and investigate huh [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] me what that'll be way back [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] uh [Music] where's that [ __ ] anyway hmm uh [Music] um hey [Music] sam do you read me yeah everything okay where am i say again what happened to me the second you left the distribution center the storm blinked out just like that chiral density dropped almost as fast i got caught in the storm and i was in a war zone you've been daydreaming sam comes were only down for a second no it was much longer than that there was a soldier he tried taking my baby a little one can vouch for me sam it's been less than a minute since we last spoke i can't be right i was there for for hours it felt like maybe you should rest a bit never mind coming to you it's a shame i can't meet you halfway yeah i know your kid right be careful sam i'm looking forward to seeing you it's been a while since i've had company sam proceed to mama's lab mama was part of the cupid rnd team however from the start she had concerns about its long-term viability felt cupid's had fundamental flaws which might explain the strange phenomenon you experienced and the spike in chiral density you should pay her a visit see what she has to say hmm [Music] god [Music] god [Music] foreign [Music] don't worry sam he doesn't bite glad you made it [Music] she's hungry um [Music] there she's down [Music] even though she can't drink it my body keeps making it going through the motions really helps with the soreness though what is she she's my daughter and i'm her mama it's okay she's only connected to me it's not like the other bts you can see it right you're hooked up now you know why i can't leave so about the supercell do you think the grown-ups could talk for a minute look at this this was the chiral density when the supercell appeared but almost immediately after it dropped to normal levels in other words the storm vanished in less than a second that's impossible okay let's pull the data from your cufflinks and take a look then [Laughter] well that's all pretty crazy but at least you're not time stamps in the logs support your story best guess i can muster as you were trapped between two different space times two different space times hq is doing a deeper analysis all they've got to work with is the frequency spectrum but with a little effort they should be able to figure out where you were sent another cairo's bike [Music] she's been crying more at night chiral density increases in regions connected to the chiral network but the numbers are way way higher than i projected that's bad right yeah more connections means more chirelli early on bridges did acknowledge this as a potential problem so i installed special limiters in the q bits to keep the chiral levels in check looks like the limiter on yours is faulty though the supercell and the temporal phenomenon that you experienced may be related to all this are you saying if i keep extending the network we might be in for more temporal phenomena maybe or worse they cause another death stranding but you got a solution of course i've got a solution right over here in fact [Music] we just need to integrate a limiter into this new cupid i threw together i thought i'd make you one since you said you were coming great crisis averted no crisis not averted we need to rewrite the software to work with the new hardware well then get to it yeah um no can do i designed the hardware but the software was written by someone else well where can we find them her the name's lochna she was a member of bridges one you'll have to head to mountain not city all right i gotta take a cupid there anyway oh good that's great here we go again i don't know what's gotten into her like she's so scared look at her maybe the other side wants her back [Music] maybe she wants to go back we can't keep on like this that much i know you want to tell me what happened she was due i was in the hospital waiting for a c-section and the terrorists at us [Music] uh hello [Music] is anyone there i was pinned under the rubble nothing to do with wait and wait ah felt like forever but no one came at least i had air and water help can someone help me please i don't know how many days went by the water ran dry and the cold set in [Music] i gave birth they're in the rubble but instead of bringing life into the world i brought death all right when the time call stopped my baby started to cry [Music] right right her life was the price i had to pay to survive she saved me [Music] [Music] over here [Applause] and we've been together ever since but she's a bt the ties that bind her to this place bind me too you could say i've never really been discharged i mean you're okay with that i mean you know she's gone you want to live your life in the shadow of the dead come on you of all people you chose the dead over the living why else would you be here i just remembered dead men told me repatriates have special blood whenever i take a sample yeah sure suck me dry you already believe me in my sleep bit cold ain't ya just a second there all done i want to run a test mama are you [Music] i'm sorry sam would you mind leaving us alone for a while yeah i gotta get to work sam hey forget what i said about cairo spikes reconnecting the world comes first maybe we're making things worse maybe not but it's the only plan we've got good luck sam sam the delivery terminal outside still works go ahead and get it connected i'll give you further instructions from there sam your next objective is to bring mountain not city into the network and this route will take you to a way station and on to a distro center north of the city from there it gets tricky you'll have to take a detour to get around the mountains still won't be using this cupid on the way software's not been rewritten yet it's fine if you link up mountain nut city after your cupid is fixed the update should filter through the network stabilizing connection just one more reason to get their asap but for now make do with the cupid you've got any word for mama lee none we'll just have to hope she's all right and keep going it's what she would want anyway check in at lake not city southern distro center before you hit the road and good luck out there by the way sam i've added a zipline schematic to your pcc figured it would come in handy all you need to set one up is at least two anchors why bother carrying cargo across a river or up a steep hill when you can just send it through the air am i right if you want a little hands-on experience you can use the anchors outside my lab have yourself some fun the good news is fragile is available and willing to lend you a hand if you want fragile to send you you'll need to head to a private room south not city looks closest from what i can see it'll be a lot quicker than walking that's for sure but you can't take any cargo with you so there's that it's up to you just remember the options there if you need it [Music] sam check the terminal for available orders one moment sam we've just received an urgent distress call order out on a run been injured and can't make it back on their own it looks like they were carrying schematics for a new autonomous bot prototype we can't afford to lose those either check the order for details order a sign have a pleasant journey delivering cargo oh you must be sam bridges that one man expedition team they may be cut off up here but we're still travels we've heard all about the great deliverer the bt buster the terrorist stopper i'm still working on that last one well i'm just stoked to meet you man so what you got for us whoa incredible this will be a huge help thanks you're not gonna even recognize the weight station when we're through all right all we need now is to get jacked into the network am i right uh [Applause] [Music] man it sure feels good to be part of the uca for real we've been literally marooned on an island for way too long i can't wait to reconnect with everyone at hq patching up this place is gonna take some work but i'm feeling revved up and ready to go like never before we won't let our country down thanks sam and good luck out there not that you need it you're gonna hit the west coast before you know it good work sam next you need to extend the network to the distro center north of the city now be a damn good time to do it too as they just sent out an sos call info still coming in but it looks like there's been an accident and we've got injured in need of assistance check the delivery terminal for details all weapons will be locked until departure cargo verified thank you decontaminated battery load please charge vehicle [Music] thank you so much a med team should have no trouble patching him up now you're a lifesaver i can't believe how fast you were hey watch yourself out there you shameless someone with your skills was it an accident by the way it was an attack someone slipped explosives into a parcel we processed separatist [ __ ] think this land is theirs for the taking they may be right any one of us could have handled that package [ __ ] me we have to be more careful beef up our security at least we didn't lose anyone this time thank you sam really i uh i hear the chiral network is coming along you think the signal's strong enough to reach us here i hope so give it a try me is [Music] sam with the help of the cairo network we've recovered experimental data which should provide a boost to our ongoing research and development initiatives as a matter of fact we've already made one breakthrough that can be applied to our weapons programs hematic rounds anti-bt ammunition that utilizes the unique properties of your own blood however it's important to remember that with each shot fired you'll be expending a small quantity of your own blood depending on the situation you may be better off switching back to conventional ammo further details can be found in the list of equipment available for fabrication and if we run in any more trouble we can get the word out sooner i can't thank you enough all right sam there aren't any more stops to make before mount not city but this last leg will be the hardest yet rest up at the private room and check your gear before you set out uh ugh [Music] uh [Applause] homily higgs and his people came they finally reached edgenot city there's no escape from me now everyone's dead the city's destroyed and what's left is crawling with bts they're everywhere where's your kibu but i was able to sneak away and reach out to you this might be our last chance to talk like this i just wanted you to know that i'm safe for now promise me you'll keep building the chiral network it's our only hope for the future it's my only hope for freedom and when you've finished we can go back east together homily you keep it where is it sam i'll be waiting for you on the beach [Music] oh back off hey sam i have some new info you should hear recently recovered thanks to your efforts to expand the cairo network it um it concerns bbs i dug this up on my own just to be clear no one ordered me to look and if anyone asked put it all on me no need for you to deal with any blowback you were just listening to me ramble on the wire okay anyway it looks like bridges wasn't the first to bring back bb tech it was a group of separatists terrorists opposed to uca expansion according to the records they started using them about three years ago right around the time bridges one was putting plans in place to head west seems these separatists were having trouble with bts too and figured that if they could track them they might be able to steer them into our bath when bridges caught wind of this the decision was made to fight fire with fire to start using bbs as they counter measure it's possible yours was commissioned for that very purpose a fact i think someone may have tried to conceal judging by the absence of bb-28 service record i always found it strange that we were so willing to utilize technology we barely understood now we know why we've been aping methods and techniques employed by others from the start there's more you should know it's about the original bridge baby experiments piecing together what little i could find it looks like they started around the time of the death stranding they were conducted on the island of manhattan off the east coast which was completely and utterly obliterated by what was almost certainly avoid out back then these experiments had the full support and approval of the american government it's all just guesswork but i suspect the bb program was conceived to help gain a better understanding of the nature of the death stranding however due to ethical and safety concerns public opinion was strongly against the program still they pressed on and in their desperation to make sense of the greatest disaster of their age i think they caused another i should also mention that the president himself was killed in the blast it was after his death when he was succeeded by then vice president strand that the experiments were suspended by executive degree documents were shredded facilities were decommissioned and every effort was made to pretend that bbs had never even existed which begs the question how some random separatist group was capable of resurrecting the tech decades later i'll let you know if i turn up anything in lightning sam check the delivery terminal and review the list of orders the people of mountain lion city have a pressing problem that needs to be addressed a tar-like substance has been bubbling up from beneath the ground near them they're seeing more of it by the minute and it won't be long before it spreads to the city there have already been reports of ejecta inside the outer walls if nothing is done the whole city might be swallowed by a sea of tar in the near future there's an order from mountain not city check the details on the delivery terminal be advised sam the case for that anti-matter bomb was not designed for long-distance transport the magnetic traps that keep the anti-matter sequestered or delicate a powerful impact reckless driving an unbalanced carrier there are all kinds of ways the traps could fail any abnormalities detected within the case should trigger an alarm if it goes off you're doing it wrong and if the bomb goes off we'll have a disaster on our hands the kind we can't come back from order beginning [Music] oh [Music] so so in [Music] beginning scan scanning bridges decontaminating suit all clear welcome sam porter bridges [Music] delivery complete displaying performance evaluation but how do you think you're doing bridges that network you're building is carrying some nasty stuff stuff nobody would want anywhere near them i thought you people would figure that out by now we want no part of your chiral network or the uca with that voice is that you mama uh you hit your head there mom i'm not yours and yours is no kind of mother all right enough games mama i don't think you heard me mister mountain knock city is telling you and the uca to take a hike you people keep doing what you're doing and you're going to put us right back on the road to the death strand we didn't ask for you to come and tell us how to live our lives we'll decide that by ourselves thank you very much all we want from you is the occasional delivery nothing else so you speak for the city that's right i'm in charge the name's lochna lochna hold up i need to talk to you you're a technician right look go home and don't come back listen to me damn it i need your help well we don't need yours bridges you're only making things worse sorry you had to deal with that sam she's the boss over there and she's not afraid to lay down the law we need her and we need her people we've lost too many others as it is without mountain not city the cairo network and the uca will never be complete what now so here's the thing sam lochna is mama's twin sister former bridges one went west with the others second group just like mama mama's not a real name of course that be malignant both have dooms and both are scientific geniuses mama's primary field of expertise is applied physics lochnas is theoretical mama designed the cupid hardware lochna the software they said they could converse over any distance said they had a special bond that led them i don't know how that's possible but i'll tell you this there wouldn't be a chiral network without them they were so close that some said they were like one person in two bodies might be why they were able to develop the cupid but they had a falling out after molingen's accident lochna left bridges and cut off all contact with us i don't know what happened between them but if we don't bring lochna around our plans to make america whole again are finished not that i'm asking you to stick your nose in their personal business though if you did it might help us figure out how to bring lochna around which would be great because our plans to make america whole again are finished without her in the meantime if you've got any bright ideas feel free to give them a shot good work uh good morning sam blood collection complete thank you for your generosity ready to take the plunge so the only things you can bring with you is yourself and maybe a few other trinkets that are really important to you okay close your eyes picture your destination hold it in your mind so [Music] oh our little secret i got my hands on something special but i might let you test some when you roll them a toast to lisa and to you not bad okay uh hey sam thanks for coming back got something for you these are your new cufflinks they still work as a terminal but i've added a weapon function i was able to redesign everything from the ground up after the last connection they're weapons tuna that's right cord cutters i should explain bts are connected to the other side via umbilical cords right when those cords bring the matter of our world into contact with the anti-matter of theirs boom [Music] but just as dead man theorized your blood does have unique properties it can be used to cut a bt's cord so i've added that function cut the cord of the bt and it returns to the world of the no bt no void out when when these things can cut them loose if you can get close enough without them noticing yes cord snipping super handkers right let's try them out cut the cord connecting us she sound asleep made sure she got plenty of milk just do it [Music] please set her spray this world was never hers but all the same i didn't want her to leave it even though she's already lost [Music] truth is she's not really my daughter the attack and everything that was all a lie no that part was true [Music] my ovaries can't produce eggs and lochna has trouble with their uterus long story short neither of us can have children i was alright with it i mean children who needs them i thought but my sister thought differently lochna wanted a child someone to carry her jeans she fell in love with another member of bridges but he died in an accident she was devastated of course as was i back then strong emotions like that i could feel hers and she could feel mine when i sensed her desire to join him to end it i went to her and said let's have a baby we took one of lochna's eggs and fertilize it with his frozen sperm and i carried it to term a healthy baby grew inside of me but then there was the attack and our bond was severed i wanted to tell her but i was bound to the child i couldn't just abandon her but i was wrong [Music] lochna needs to know [Music] you have to break some dies to forge others can't be tied to everything if we're going to reconnect the world i need to reconnect with my sister first [Music] so please see him [Music] do it [Music] so [Music] [Music] goodbye [Music] all right sam [Music] take me [Music] [Music] sam would you set me up i haven't been outside in a long time it's just too much to take in all at once you sir i thought you might be claustrophobic after your time in the rubble i'll be fine so long as i can see out of the bag the warmth of the light touch of the wind ascend to the world lucky you two of you are still connected okay soon let's go ah hold it i had a special surprise prepped and everything but it looks to me like your hands are full so big you can always tweak the rules it's coming [Music] he looks hungry all you gotta do to make it out alive is not get eaten is that like fun of course it does run run do foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] wow sam that was close [Music] they're there sam hey sam do you remember your own birth me i remember being inside the womb i wasn't alone i could hear my mother's heartbeat hers and loch ness we were conjoined twins one and the same before we were born but then they tried to separate us with surgery the operation was successful we were still one we knew each other's thoughts without saying a word my joy it's her joy my joy it's her joy your pain decontaminating all clear welcome sam porter bridges oh [Music] i'm sorry i'm so sorry i love you so much love you so much it's good to hear your voice again i shouldn't have kept you in the dark try to save her i couldn't you don't have to say anymore you need to fix his cupid i couldn't save our child but you can save our world only you i love you you hear me forever and always now make the world whole okay just like you make me [Music] uh [Music] all that she went through i had no idea i thought i thought she'd severed our bond on purpose that she stole our child and ran i fixed your cupid like she asked limiters should be functioning properly now there is one thing before i sat down to work i took a long hard look at the code i'm pretty sure someone's tweaked it either that or my memory is going to pieces someone rewrote your code rewrote might be overstating it let's just say wasn't the latest version i released and yet because of it i was finally reunited with bilingan could be we found our culprit already she died beneath the rubble with her child still inside her her car passed over to the other side but her haul remained bound to our dead daughter she knew all of this of course that's why she kept one cuff loose didn't want anyone seeing her vitals [Music] shame she couldn't use her favorite invention she did all that to keep me and our daughter safe [Music] yes sis i can hear you [Music] [Music] well done [Music] thanks to you edge nut city is finally within reach and you lochna your work will help ensure that the cairo network remains online together we might just make it all the way west now then sam there's something else you ought to know we've been studying the data from when you claim you encountered those soldiers we had audio which doesn't paint a complete picture on its own but the languages the names and terms we picked out the munitions we could identify everything seems to indicate that you were on a battlefield over a hundred years ago world war one to be precise it wasn't a dream wasn't a hallucination maybe you were spirited away to another dimension or something and given the time discrepancies maybe you were sent to a beach can't say anything for certain that said i have never heard of a beach turned into a battlefield but beaches are shaped by the will of the people who inhabit them perhaps hartman can offer a more rational explanation beaches are his specialty unfortunately he's still outside the chiral network anyway get some rest no use dwelling on questions we can't answer yet ugh good morning sam blood collection complete thank you for your generosity hello oh looking for this surprise fragile warped me here i finally got to visit the beach well her beach don't worry i didn't come all this way for the sightseeing your beloved vb has a serious issue you may recall me explaining that these incubators connect bbs via the cairo network to their still mothers back at hq bridge babies are quite literally bridges between this world and the other side their place is not here with us nor with the bts over there they belong precisely in between with no greater affinity for one world or the other but bb 28 here has been leaning further and further towards the world of the living towards you that's cause we're partners [Music] partners sam a bb is a tool not a human being bridge yes baby no so tell me what the problem is this tool this weapon is transforming into a living being it's gaining weight its brain activity is increasing it's accumulating memories bb28 is becoming self-aware becoming an actual child doesn't sound like a problem to me it's hardware sam manufacture it for a purpose a purpose that cannot fulfill outside the pod there is a 70 risk of catastrophic failure simply in removing it which hardly matters because at this point it'll cease functioning within a couple of days this is functioning that's right not even the pod will be enough it'll be bricked what do we do we reset it you'll have to leave it with me of course i'll cut the cord that links the two of you and then perform an operation that reconnects it to the other side think of it as a little tug to correct its alignment to put it back where it belongs right between the world of the living and the dead but like i said you'll have to be without it for a while you're sure this will work of course one catch though the surgery may erase its memories her race will forget me relax the baby will still function as intended you just have to trust me come on [Music] i'm telling you it's like a game just select me and try and start again ah and this is why i hate these things sam i was already filthy for my trip through the beach but now your bb has added insult to injury money uh shhh no one can spy on us in here it's just you and me no audio records of what we say no video for live reading analysis get closer die hardman cannot know of this understood i've been doing some digging into the first bp experiments officially they were suspended by the government following a void out which claimed the life of the then acting president documents were shredded baby technology banned yes but obviously the experiments continued in secret on the direct orders of president strand bridget [Music] the bbs were essential to solving the mystery of the death stranding oh she had big plans for them they weren't designed just to be bt detectors she wanted to incorporate them into the cairo network to facilitate travel to the beach but none of her plans ever came to fruition and now bb tech has fallen into terrorist hands what's diharmon's parliament i'm afraid to find out i don't know how long he was working for strand i don't even know his real name or his face i thought you might since you two go further back he was already wearing a mask when i met him something about burning his face ryan sorry anything that we have from back then is classified at the highest level as far as i know the director is the only one with clearance but the cairo network presents a new opportunity by compiling fragmented data in the public domain from all across the country i might be able to piece together a little more of the puzzle be careful sam they're watching well sam you're a good sport i'll give you that still it's a fine way to get out of doing the laundry just fix bb all right oh no you'll be doing the fixing i'd never manage without your help check the delivery terminal upstairs for the details when you're ready of course so [Music] dead man tells me your bb isn't performing to spec we'll have to put your primary mission on hold until we restore its functionality it's our only dooms compatible unit and you're gonna have to deal with more bts as you head further west case in point emily's informed us of a tar belt outside of edge not city a massive region crawling with bts that higgs supposedly summoned and as much as we want you to get her out as soon as possible you'll have a snowball's chance in hell without your bb so your first priority is to help dead man restore it to working order and since he's on site maybe the two of you can discuss it in person sam i'm a little busy at the moment so i hope you don't mind if we stick to hulk first i need you to link up a few preppers in the area so we can increase local chiral density that's to bolster the connection between bb-28 and it's still mother then as i explained earlier we need to correct your vp's alignment to facilitate that process we need to quite literally put some distance between you two keep it here while we send you out if everything goes to plan your bb should resume normal function fortunately this plan advances our other objectives we want to integrate this region into the cairo network anyway so build relationships with the preppers by making deliveries and convince them to come on board it's not easy to make a home for yourself in those mountains even so plenty of people had a mind to try you'll find shelters scattered throughout we've got a whole list of orders from them waiting to be processed remember though that you're dealing with folks who chose to live out there folks who probably value their privacy don't think for a second it'll be easy to win them over you will have to earn their trust bit by bit job by job another thing sam you'll be making runs without a bb for a spell that will vastly diminish your ability to detect bts so keep your eyes and ears open for anything out of the ordinary and stay the hell out of the rain if you can help sam you read me um logna uh-huh calling you via a bridge's dedicated line i've been asked to carry on in my sister's place and provide you with support we're all again one forever and always we still speak so i shouldn't have any trouble getting up to speed you back with bridges then it's not about that never was it's about what she wants what we want and why shouldn't we help you you helped us we're all connected now is all weapons will be locked until departure delivering cargo oh you made it handled with care i see i hear you're the one to talk to about the chiral network is it true that a contractor let me access your schematics and so forth i want to share my research with everyone let them read it let them learn from it like i learned from their work make me a part of the uca shout out [Music] very good very good guess we're in this together now sam i'd love to show you around the place but it's a terrible mess i see you've put another shelter on the network nice job cairo levels are increasing as predicted which is good as for bb28 you'll be pleased to hear the operation went well there should be no need for additional major procedures we're not out of the woods yet but i think it's safe to say that the worst is behind us all that remains is to continue expanding the network monitor changes as chiral levels increase and make adjustments as necessary drug therapy should suffice keep it up sam order a sign come back is all weapons will be locked delivering cargo the delivery oh good excellent everything appears to be in perfect condition there's something i've been meaning to ask would you help me join the uca if me being a part of it ensures more people get the medical attention they require then it's well worth the hassle [Music] oh thank you for that i might not be as young as i once was but i've still got plenty to offer oh by the way i came across something i thought you might find useful you're more than welcome to it your deliveries have saved lives and as you know every life that's saved is one fewer bt to deal with which in the long run means even more lives are saved please don't give up no matter how difficult it may become i implore you thanks sam bb28 appears to be on the road to recovery its affinity with the other side is growing stronger as we hoped the convulsions and spasms have ceased as well i know it's tough out there without a bb but you've got to keep on fighting the good fight just like the kid is just like bb 28 is sam we've received an order from a new client check the terminal in mountain not city for the details and do it soon sounds like someone is in need of medicine good work new order available please access delivery terms order a sign delivery parameters updated time limit sent weapons delivering cargo thank you i gave her the medicine she says she's feeling better already but i'm not kidding myself even if they did work that fast the doctor said she needs a lot more than antibiotics she's carrying our child i want to look at as soon as possible please i need you to go to the doctor for me he's got some kind of machine thinks it might help i i couldn't make out the details damn connection kept dropping out but someone needs to go and fetch it take anything you need from that shelf hell take all of it order a sign delivery parameters updated time limit set sam in light of the patient's condition i've gone ahead and put a time limit on this order you can still deliver the cargo after it runs out but i want you to move hell on earth to get there before it does i know we keep piling things on you but your bb unit can wait a little longer and besides beefing up the chiral network there should help it get better faster [Music] sam access the delivery terminal there you are the mountaineer just contacted me the treatment i prescribe isn't working we need to act fast i hope the antibiotics would alleviate the worst of the symptoms but it looks like we're past that stage an infection like this so late in the pregnancy can cause any number of complications even if she survives there is a risk she could suffer brain damage even brain death now i need you to deliver this prototype bio printer and remote medical terminal to the mountaineer if you can connect them to me via the chiral network i can use this equipment to diagnose the patient's condition and provide treatment the terminal will allow them to transmit their genetic code with which i can formulate a dna vaccine for printing at present-only vaccines utilizing viruses and other non-living components can be generated in this fashion but future advancements may free us of this limitation it should go without saying but this is delicate equipment don't break it whatever you do oh and thank you welcome sam for the bridges all weapons will be locked until departure delivering cargo you're here oh thank god she's merely holding on that's a good thing you hurried the doctor said we need a chiral connection for this to work so hook us up we'll join the uca whatever it takes go ahead oh [Music] doctor uh okay i'll i'll activate the terminal from my end just just a moment everything's gonna be all right for this device i i can examine her as if i were actually there the manipulators on the terminal perfectly reflect my movements here and with a bio printer i can provide a custom made vaccine it's just a shame my better half hasn't had a chance to build any more of these things you're looking at the only ones we have don't worry though we'll do everything we can to ensure your child is safely delivered oh thank you this is this is incredible you should thank him the network he's helping to build is going to change the face of medicine forever [Music] all right let's have a look at you you've brought us the next best thing to live in dr sam thank you so much nicely done bb 28 will be back in action soon the kid's a real trooper stay the course sam heads up sam got a fresh order for you from a certain mountain here it'll take you to a region not yet covered by the chiral network suffice it to say this is a chance to change that look into it as soon as you can good work new order available please access delivery terminal order never stop them don't all weapons will be locked until departure delivering cargo you're from bridges right you don't have anything else for me do you no okay never mind never thought i'd receive a delivery in such excellent condition hey i have a favor to ask do you think you could find my father's camera for me it's kind of a long story but he used to conduct field research in the area my father believed that the key to understanding the death stranding was hidden here somewhere in the caves and strata but he passed away before he could complete his work leaving me to finish what he started and not long ago i found something something amazing i was sure it was what my father had been looking for even if i couldn't see how it related to the death stranding myself what i needed was an expert opinion someone who could look at what i'd found and tell me what it meant so i grabbed my father's camera and set out to document my discovery took pictures of every last detail but on the way back i spotted a group of armed men and i panicked dropped everything and ran like hell thankfully they never saw me but when i stopped running i realized the camera was gone case and all i've been trying to pluck up the courage to go and look for it ever since but then i remembered that the cargo tag was still on the case and i figured you being with bridges and all that you might have a way to pinpoint its location please i'd give anything to have it back i'm gonna put in the order please understand that camera means everything to me until i know it's safe i can't think about anything else there's a terminal there you can use if you want to get started right away here it's what i take if i were going myself knock yourself out [Music] sam did you find our missing cargo huh it looks like someone's carrying it around oh um [Music] all weapons will be locked until departure cargo verified delivering cargo oh wow thank you i was afraid i'd never see it again oh thank god it looks exactly like it always did oh you don't know what this means to me it was my father's idea to move all the way out here he thought he could get to the bottom of the death stranding all by himself and we were right behind him but look where it got us if you hadn't come along when you did the camera would be gone and all our hard work would have been lost before anyone had a chance to see it we can't let that happen the world needs to hear about this someone out there will know what it means so connect us up we want to be a part of the uca shout out [Music] i truly hope our work will help to make a difference thanks again i hope we get to meet again before too long sam it's hartman that camera you recovered contained some fascinating footage the data stored on it was automatically shared with us after you added the photographer's shelter to the network along with her father's research materials anyway my lab still doesn't have a high speed chiral connection but i was able to check one of the images against a database at hq based on my preliminary calculations and the photographic and documentary evidence in our archives i would estimate the paintings to be in the region of 30 000 years old if not older the artists were likely neanderthals or other precursors who were migrating across the continent see the dolphin-like creatures there at the time the cave would have been situated even farther from the coast than it is now so how could the artist possibly have encountered dolphins answer they couldn't it is my belief that they had a brush not with dolphins but with beach things and that would mean the death stranding is not the first phenomenon of its kind that it has happened before since the birth of our planet count the species have gone extinct from bacteria to dinosaurs scientists refer to the largest known mass extinctions as the big five but there have of course been many other extinction events albeit on a smaller scale what if the artists were trying to document one such event that of their own extinction it would be the first record in earth's history of a death stranding and it would also lend credence to my theories the sooner you come and connect me to the network the sooner we'll know just imagine the mysteries we'll be able to solve i'll be waiting sam wonderful news sam bb28 finals are nearly within optimal operating parameters just before i called it opened its eyes it was looking all over as if searching for someone and then our eyes met for a moment i think i tell you it was almost enough to make me want to keep the kid for myself anyway i still need to run diagnostics and make adjustments as needed however the fluctuating local chiral levels could pose a problem think you can bring one more site into the network once you have and once i have subsequently confirmed that db is functioning reliably i'll release it into your custody this is the last step i promise just one more site that's all we should need good luck good work new order available please access delivery terminal for further [Music] [Music] oh you're here good i half expected you to take longer but i'm glad you didn't i hope we get to meet again before too long good work new order available sam it's just like the one at south not city a vortex loaded with so much chiralium that it's almost off the charts slowly but surely it's creeping closer to us here in mountain not at least that's what i think but i can't see it not with the naked eye but the data doesn't lie it's the same temporal phenomenon that you told me dropped you in a war zone i told you but that wasn't the cupid's limiter can handle most kairos bikes but we didn't plan for another supercell another supercell i told you it was the same as before mama is that you you got me sam it's been a while but not really and mochna we're the same one body one mind one being there's no point in trying to draw a distinction not in this world we're all connected remember that is i've been expecting you the mountaineer told me all about you this handprint you brought me or stenciled as i prefer to call it is a vital clue it hails from an era long before the dawn of human history i'm going to date it and lay there the cause of the death stranding and when i do all the secrets of the cosmos shall be revealed did you know this mountain used to be a pyramid in ancient times it's true you won't find a place closer to the beach than this to the wellspring a source of untold power how else do you think that chiral network of yours works but i digress show me the stencil thank you it's in excellent condition all right connect me to the chiral network [Music] downtown [Music] uh [Music] now i have everything i need to date the stencil once i have my results i'll share them with you and your colleagues at bridges you've done a good thing sam if you find anything else be sure to bring it straight to me i'll be waiting you should take this i'm certain that it will be of use to you in your journey until we meet again my friend sam it worked bb28 is in excellent condition no evidence of lingering attachments or homesickness either perhaps its memory was erased after all all that remains is for you to hook it up and take it for a run i was hoping to return it to you as soon as possible but uh i don't want to i mean i do but it's a little more complicated than that what we've got a problem you may have heard about the massive supercell heading right for mountain node city i left my facility to perform some additional tests on the bb in the field and now i find myself unable to return you know the cabin on the mountainside northeast of mountain knock let's meet there just like last time railway so uh uh uh uh [Applause] ugh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so sam sam dead man oh thank god i got through where are you no idea i'm seeing tanks and soldiers the uniforms date back over a century world war ii era i suspect [Music] did you see the man leading the soldiers no i think it's the guy you told us about the born and bred warrior [ __ ] who's gunning for baby he must be our ticket home right don't ask me this is only my second time and without baby he'll be hard to find lucky for you i've got pb here in tip-top shape just waiting for you where should we meet is there anything unusual or distinct near you i'm in the sewers hang on i can see a tower through a hole a square tower right above my position gotcha i'll find it search for a sewer entrance can you sit tight for now gladly i won't move an inch yeah well if i'm slow you might have to what that warrior [ __ ] wasn't after me he was after baby [ __ ] me right if he's looking for anyone it's you oh no hurry the hell up sam keep it together i'm on my way and don't hook up bb either they'll lead them straight to you oh boy not that you would since you hate them i just did because i was scared to death disconnect now already done don't let him take bb how if he shows up with the soldiers what do you expect me to do fight back if i have to choose between bibi and myself well you won't i'm ending the call sam it's not easy being me no wife no children no friends and so i sought solace saw company in the dead over time i made them a part of me 70 of who i am today but meeting you has opened my eyes you're very special sam ugh over here the little one should be working again let me see oh well then [Music] maybe this is a special beach for soldiers who died in battle maybe we should get the hell out of here yes i'm surprised i thought you would have abandoned bb by now discard precious hardware never [Music] so do you still share memories i see stay here seems like i got other memories to tintail i'm taking him down as you get us both out of here hey you know sam i'm starting to understand why bb is so important to you huh it's just a tool life and death are supposed to be irrelevant but we've got attached to each other all the same haven't we kid's not just a tool name's lou lou huh that's a good name foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] oh hmm is i need backup fall back ugh uh [Music] mimi what is this all on my float i should i should never have put you in that breathing [Applause] so [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] [Music] well hello hello how's little lou doing no response well look at that that child's taking a shine to me you two were out cold so i had you brought here you were right whatever you did back there returned us to our own world i put your cargo and gear in your private box you slept for a whole day you know slept like the dead i'm already back in capital not fragile's speech has been coming in handy sam i owe you an apology lou was the name you were going to give your own baby if he had made it i should have pieced it together sooner don't know what you're talking about i found some records from 10 years ago a death sudden in the middle of a town young woman in the prime of her life nobody knew until it was too late avoid out her husband who was a member of bridges had dooms he tried but he couldn't get to her in time the whole town was wiped off the map leaving nothing but a big crater and him because he was a repatriate people wanted answers did the man hide his wife's body on purpose the only survivor was the only suspect he was easy to blame and people did and pretty soon they were blaming bridges too the man felt responsible so he left and his wife who died her name was lucy she'd been pregnant for a woman they were going to name their son lu didn't happen but it did president strand told me [Music] she talked about you all the time he didn't have to cut all ties and walk away she said you wanna shut the [ __ ] up calm down sam take a seat i told you before about my body 70 harvested from cadavers do you want to know the real reason why because the story you've heard is one i made up the truth is i'm frankenstein's monster artificial grown from pluripotent stem cells [Music] and when that vital spark didn't manifest in all my organs they replaced the defective ones with those of the dead i never had a birthday i'm a soulless meat puppet no car a dead man people born the traditional way have beaches you have one bb2 but i have no such connections no mother no afterlife no peach you see now why i'm so obsessed with it all why i joined bridges the battlefield now that was an awful beach but strangely i didn't hate it because i knew you were coming for me i've never felt that before connected to someone anyone you didn't have to cut all ties and walk away the president was right about that much wasn't anything to walk away from it's not like i was ever welcome there come on even i was welcome oh that you were holding it it's an old dog tag u.s issue wasn't easy prying it out of your hand clifford unger as you can see i looked him up in our database found the match [Music] it was u.s army special forces fought in kosovo iraq afghanistan that's him well that's all i've managed to dig up so far you must be caked in cairo matter from the battlefield dying for a shower i'd say oh i won't be joining you this time the die hardman issue is no longer a concern i've seen to it that our conversations won't be recorded [Music] [Applause] sam do you copy as you might have suspected time here stopped while you two are on that battlefield if my thinking is correct the dimension to which you traveled is a kind of beach um to explain a little our bodies our heart all occupy the same world but our souls our car have beaches all their own these beaches are given form inside our brains by our beliefs religion philosophy and so forth as a result a beach can be anything and those anythings form a multiverse however if many people die at once their beaches can become entangled creating a strand field this phenomenon is exacerbated in wartime by omnipresent feelings of resentment and despair beaches are more easily and frequently entangled on such a beach exits vanish and experiences cycle endlessly and picture it like a a record player the needle skips playing the same phrase again and again they're fighting a battle that has no beginning or end round and round it goes now the battlefield you visited was in eastern europe in world war ii which is strange given that the man you encountered clifford unga played no part in that conflict i can't explain it but if you can connect me to the chiron network who knows what we might discover still there sam if so i have a request when you're ready head upstairs to the delivery terminal [Music] can i help you [ __ ] john is that you what are you doing here my wife's checked in i don't want a repeat of last year i'm so sorry i didn't know beginning scan scanning bridges id verifying id clear sam the west side of that region is covered by a massive tar belt beyond it is edgenaught city the last bastion of civilization you'll find that far out it's your final destination once you use the cupid to connect it the cairo network will span the entire continent the rebirth of america is so close and remember that's where emily is being held captive we need you to bring her home safely but before you cross the tarvel there's one more knot we need you to die hartman will help you get it done sal i'd like for you to bring me a few things first the dog tags you took from that soldier tuck them away in a pocket so you don't misplace them second mama's corpse her body shows no signs of necrosis and i for one would like very much to know the reason why closer study may yield information that could prove instrumental in helping us to overcome the death stranding suffice it to say i don't have much time see to your preparations i'll be waiting you'll find an official order on the terminal hey sam tough journalism you know what it doesn't even matter that you're late you're here safe we're going to get through good work all right sam take care of her and don't worry she won't go negro milling and special be funny if these ha bars ended up being the key to saving us all [Music] order a sign bridges delivery complete displaying performance evaluation request to join uca registered awaiting cupid connection challenges [Music] please proceed into the facility with a cadaver good work new order available please access delivery terminal for further information uh hmm so so [Music] [Music] all right man administering shock stand clear [Music] well you certainly caught me with my pants down glad you could make it sam i'm sorry i didn't mean to alarm you but i am what i am ah please lay her down there still no sign of them you know your heart stops beating it stops every 21 minutes i spend three minutes on the beach and then return 60 deaths and 60 resurrections per day 60 opportunities to search the beach for my departed family this is how i live this is my life so while you've traveled to and from the seam an impressive number of times my beach count is a little higher 218 549. i see myself in that crater my wife and my child it's like looking at the shape of my heart the doctors called it myocardial cordophonia [Music] mine is an especially unusual case i have pictures care to see heartment's heart-shaped heart no you really should it doesn't run in the family you know i never came to terms with their loss in the days that followed i became obsessed with an idea that the beach is real and they are on it i would induce cardiac arrest three minutes at a time and search for them day after day after day also you could say goodbye quite the opposite it is said that everyone's beach is different so what if everyone's afterlife is different too i find the thought terrifying spending eternity alone which is why i decided to find my family and make sure to move on with them you mean die with them [Music] if death would see us reunited then yes but the repeated cardiac arrests took their toll on my heart the muscle gradually deformed and after a while they started calling me the beach scientist hartman i'm glad we could have this conversation oh um [Music] a body that doesn't necrotize no sign of decomposition it's as if she was still alive the perfect mummy an impeccable corpse what's wrong where's the other thing you were supposed to bring ah found it behold wait dead man it appears to be an umbilical cord human by the looks of it i think but this was no ordinary conduit between fetus and placenta it looks more like a bt's tether and this was mama's yes a body that doesn't necrotize and an umbilical cord connected to the beach these are remarkable discoveries sam enough to set my sore heart racing [Music] i apologize if our conversation gets cut short i must go back to the beach and look for my wife and child one person one beach that's the rule but i'm the exception my beach is connected to others as if it were the beneficiary of a coronary bypass maybe this twisted heart of mine made it possible all i know is that i will find them even if my every visit raises new questions i'll have my answers one day one day three minutes to cardiac arrest the battlefields the endless wars you found yourself trapped in why do world war era soldiers wander the beach a century after they fell normally the souls of the dead move on the beach is just a corridor a place through which they pass on the way to the other side but if regret uh resentment a fervent desire to remain if these feelings are powerful enough they may give rise to an altogether different beach a collective purgatory for an army of the damned clifford anger his misery and hatred combined with your bb acting as some sort of catalyst have brought these battlefields to our world two minutes to cardiac arrest please proceed to a safe location it's just a theory you think higgs is pulling his strings pulling all their strings i don't know but evidence does suggest that higgs brought them here please hold on to something secure oh before i forget i have a favor to ask activating lap security measures could you just relax until i come back time stops on the beach but not in the scene rest assured it'll only feel like three minutes to you we'll continue this shortly five four three two one [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] stand clear [Music] no luck visit 218 550. oh sorry uh where were we i may be used to the 21-minute cycle but for a first-time face-to-face meeting there's just too much to cover in one go-around can't be easy living like this yes and now now that i'm acclimated to it it isn't especially uh onerous defecation ablution nutrition most of life's basic functions fit rather easily into a 21-minute time slot sleep is the tricky one and intercourse i suppose verbal or physical not that someone in my position has to worry much about either do you read sam uh listen to music watch films you know i keep busy i have a collection of music television shows some very interesting short films and stories everything consumable within a 21-minute window all from before the death stranding of course but honestly the 21 minutes i spend here all down time nothing more time spent waiting to go back to the search my body may be present but my soul is on the beach i'm already dead i know that feeling lost my family in an accident well i never expected you to open up to me as it happened i've read about your circumstances i lost my family in an accident too i was in the icu having heart surgery out of town in the city when it was clear that i was going to pull through my wife took my daughter back to the house to collect some things for me and then they were caught in the void outs the city and the hospital were spared the worst but the shockwave knocked out the power and my life support i woke up on the beach the people who died in the two void outs were there what happened what's going on oh i saw my wife and my daughter in the procession hey it's me where are you going wait don't leave without me [Music] the icu's backup generator kicked in and i was brought back to life by the defibrillator exactly 21 minutes after my heart had stopped and that was the last time i saw my family it's my damned heart's fault that we were torn apart but it's also the reason i'll see them again someday it defines me i am hartman ever since i've walked the beaches of others i follow my family's footsteps for a while and when i get tired i return here to continue my research it's funny though even when my heart stops the pain lingers um you have any family photographs son pity five minutes to cardiac arrest you mind telling me what i'm doing here before you go back to the beach oh um of course there's a preparone station in this area our scientists stationed there are researching material from before the death stranding what kind of material the earth has a long memory it's straw to tell a story one that goes back to the very beginning one that not even the death stranding could erase the scientists are all colleagues of mine from the earlier expedition i'd like you to bring them onto the chiral network amelie proposed we establish our research posts along this belt despite a worldwide search this is the only area known to contain fossils from the late cretaceous period when the dinosaurs died out the assumption being that the last ones lived here and here alone you see hiding in the earth then our memories of a major mass extinction clues that could tell us how to survive our predicament certainly that was armly's hope as part of the advanced team when she assigned our backup team here the past informs the present and aids us in building the future she was careful to impress that upon us before she went west up i'm putting you on mute some time later we began to observe unusual activity in the tar belts outside edge knot city vast quantities of tar began surfacing spreading consuming many of my colleagues as well as a chiral way station the whole incident defied explanation i think higgs is the blame i don't know but we needed that way station it was essential to expanding the chiral network westward that's why i'm asking you for your help in building a new one it won't be much given the handful of equipment we've uh managed to scrape together nothing like the not cities that's for sure but a knot is still a knot sam i want you to use the cupid to put the scientists on the network then go to armory afterwards we can get back to the important job of researching the deaths [Music] don't worry about the air matte floor absorbs the impact i'll unlock the door for you [Music] wow [Music] right [Music] sam you heard him you can grab the order at a delivery terminal our ultimate objective in this region is to build a replacement for a weigh station that was lost to the tar the first step is to put a shelter with our scientists on the cairo network now we don't know the first thing about emily's status or what higgs is up to that's a concern for us as much as you but we won't know more until we get to edge not city and that means connecting this region first you should start with the geologist and the paleontologist the latter's holding something for the evo devil biologist so i recommend you save her for last that way you can finish a delivery and link up the final site in one go once all three are on the grid come back here then we can get to work on the replacement for that lost weigh station a geologist of ours has been studying fossils as part of his research into prehistoric extinction events he's been out there conducting excavations for a while now and has begun to suffer the effects of chiral contamination no doubt the result of excessive exposure to chiralium during the dig until the site is properly decontaminated his work can't proceed nor will his health improve so we need you to bring him some chiralium scrubbing agents the stratum the team was investigating dates from the end of the cretaceous period the time of the infamous mass extinction which brought the reign of the dinosaurs to a close leaving small mammals to inherit the earth it's the most recent of the big five and one of the largest mass extinctions the world has ever seen in any event our team found something truly remarkable can you guess what it was a fossil beach if that is indeed what it is then he has made a tremendous discovery therefore sam it is essential that you deliver those chiralium scrubbing agents as soon as possible sam so hartman told you all about the lake how the attack that created it changed his life forever not only did he lose his family he very nearly lost himself for 21 minutes he was in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest under normal circumstances he would have died therapeutic hypothermia saved his life but the 21 minutes he spent on the other side had a lasting effect on him perhaps due to the shock his doom's abilities seem to have increased and now he takes every opportunity to walk the beach in search of his family my apologies sam you came all this way to visit me that i neglected to give you a proper farewell do be careful out there as i mentioned before this region is rich in memories of death and extinction it should come as no surprise that bts are cited here more frequently perhaps you recall the models in my life their designs were all based on my women's accounts though i suppose they must have struck you with strange considering the many times you've come face to face with the real mccoy weapon is detected all weapons will be locked until department thank you cargo sam bridges oh thank god for that i was worried you might not get here in time but then i've done nothing but worry of late i've been haunted by those visions you doom sufferers see that end of day stuff i put the nightmares down to fatigue uh possibility of chiral contamination never even occurred to me it's just lucky we caught it before the suicidal stage dying's not an option my research is nowhere near complete it's not just my life you're saving here it's my life's work i started to wonder if i'd ever see these meds i guess you really are good at what you do huh thank you oh yes right then if you do the honors [Applause] [Music] and just like that i'm part of the uca with access to a treasure trove of historical research materials studying this fossil beach should be a good deal easier now assuming i can prove once for all that that's what it is honestly though i'm just excited i can finally share these findings with everyone can you believe i found chiral deposits in strata dating back 65 and a half million years evidence of an ancient death stranding chiral mata has existed on earth since long before the dawn of man this stratum is proof of that look at this sam do you see that black fisher there we believe this is the source of the chiralian readings in the distant past earthquakes cause frictional melting along fault lines producing layers of what is known as pseudotaculite we call these layers fossil earthquakes extending the principle our fissure here is what one might term a fossil beach the presence of corellium in this of all strata cannot be a mere coincidence it strongly suggests that beaches must have appeared during the cretaceous paleogene extinction event and not just them the chiral network has recovered data suggesting that similar fossil beaches were discovered in strata corresponding to other extinction events too that would seem to indicate the big five and all other major extinctions were accompanied by the appearance of beaches in expanding the cairo network you've helped us glimpse a pattern in these scattered points of data you furthered our individual research projects and ensured that it is only a matter of time before we recover all we have lost and solve every mystery that remains but this is only the beginning see this through sam and there's no telling what we might learn good work listen up sam for this run you'll be transporting an anti-matter bomb a bridge's paleontologist working on a dig says he needs it apparently the fossils he wants to study are buried deep beneath tar and the only way he can get to them is by blowing it wide open now hopefully i don't need to tell you to be extra careful when handling high yield explosives but in case i do make sure you keep that container in one piece no matter what sam i'm sure you haven't forgotten but you need to be extremely careful with that anti-matter bomb especially when transporting it by a carrier or vehicle any irregularities should trigger an alarm don't ignore it order a sign [Music] all weapons will be locked until departure cargo verify thank you delivering cargo much appreciated friend thanks to you we can finally move ahead with the dig i swear this place is bad enough without having to worry about getting asphyxiated not that i need to tell you you did it after all though i can't for the life of me imagine how you can set up the chiral network while i work challenges [Music] anyway as it turns out sam bridges i have a favor to ask a local porter was on his way here with something very valuable but dropped it on route it's a 200 million year old ammonite which looks he says almost as if it were still alive he apparently stumbled across it in a boulder field which had previously been hidden beneath a glacier but that's not the half of it the man claims this ammonite has an umbilical cord an umbilical cord calling me skeptical but a specimen merits study and i wasn't about to leave such delicate work to an amateur so i asked him to carve out the whole surrounding chunk of rock and bring it here to me naturally i wanted to compare it with contemporary specimens in the vicinity which is why i had him excavate a number of those in addition to the one he told me about but what does the dumb [ __ ] go and do he loses the whole shipment didn't even have the good sense to mark which container had the ammonite with the umbilical cord the cargo was supposedly lost in the area to the southwest where toxic gases have a tendency to build up ol mr reliable claims his cargo scanner is broken and there's no way he can recover the shipment but you you could track it down to protect you against the fumes i'll provide you with an oxygen mask just to be safe you can pick it up when you accept the order that fossil could represent an epical discovery while there are examples of beviperous fish an ammonite with an umbilical cord is unheard of and if it is indeed 200 million years old it would also correspond with the end triassic extinction another one of the big five could the umbilical cord be connected to the beach we must recover that cargo at all costs it could provide a vital clue to the mechanisms underpinning the death stranding we're so close so very very close to grasping the true nature of the phenomenon hurry sam we cannot risk that ammonite being lost good work new order available please access delivery terminal an oxygen mask huh good idea it'll filtrate the air and keep you breathing normally in addition to protecting you from toxic gases it'll also help to reduce fatigue from strenuous activity making it easier to keep your balance if it didn't have a limited battery life i'd tell you to keep it on the whole time but it does so don't order a sign oh hmm hmm uh so delivering cargo oh you found it let me see i have to see it oh my it really is immaculately preserved uncannily even thanks for bringing in that lost shipment sam and yes it did indeed include an ammonite with a bonafide umbilical cord attached i've already sent some images and a preliminary analysis to hartmann via the network interestingly it seems the surrounding strata contained traces of tar which lines up with one of his theories anyway i i know you only just brought this ammonite here but i'd like you to deliver it to a colleague of mine an evo devil biologist lately she's taken an interest in the tar and i think she'd be eager to examine this particular specimen it's quite remarkable and that's to your credit to clarify she has been studying how the tar may have influenced the development of various organisms accordingly i would ask that you also recover the tar collectors deployed near her shelter and deliver them along with the ammonite it would be too dangerous for her to attempt to retrieve them herself which is why we must impose upon you by aiding her research we may yet inch closer to unraveling the secrets of the death stranding we've already made so much progress with the data recovered by the network with your continued help i know we can accomplish even more hey hey i know well hmm oh [Music] oh [Music] hmm oh [Music] oh [Music] oh oh [Applause] oh oh [Music] will no longer react to be teased so you'll need to be more careful head to a private room if you want to restore functionality uh beginning scan scan thank you delivering i'm cargo sam not many people would have even attempted this may have a look not a scratch on it and the tar inside is safe and secure you do not disappoint my friend now connect me to the chiral network that's where my studies will truly begin [Music] thank you it goes without saying but i am convinced that the tar is related to the bts and the death stranding after all both it and time fall are the defining features of the post-stranding ecosystem sudden environmental changes such as these invariably lead to the extinction of organisms that fail to adapt those that do adapt do so by virtue of enhancers the regions of dna that grant successful organisms their advantages these genetic factors are the key to evolution but there are genes which have the opposite effect those which disadvantage organisms extinction factors as they have been called these are the seeds of advancement and obsolescence such factors may lie dormant within us all a choice waiting to be made for every being since the advent of life itself if so then ancient proof may hide deep within the tar evidence of these genetic decisions that may aid us in navigating our current crossroads in any event thanks to you i can now study the composition of the tar in greater detail i'll make sure to share any interesting results with you later well done sam you furthered our research into the death stranding in ways you cannot imagine thank you again for bringing me mama's body as well as that ammonite speaking of which my analysis of its umbilical cord is preceding a pace i've been comparing the data against some of our restored archives anyway would you mind returning to my lab preparations are finally complete for the chiral relay integration if you could collect the necessary materials for the restoration work and bring them here i would be most grateful good work please thank you sam in reclaiming our past we've uncovered a number of vital clues don't worry i just got back we have time when you met with mama you experienced a strong antigen antibody reaction correct there was a bt in the room there was but something else may have been causing it i've discovered large quantities of chiral matter in mama as well not just the usual kind that collects on our skin or on our suits it's in all her cells cells that are no longer active the bt you encountered there was special it was her child but also her own soul somehow her car and her fail to separate they must have remained connected through the umbilical cord it's the only explanation is that why i didn't get a bruise where she touched me yes and there's more 10 seconds to cardiac arrest 5 three two one i modified the log times headquarters will have no record of what we say look a message from dead man it came with the umbilical cord [Music] sam i'm sorry you deserve to know what you were carrying but i couldn't risk die hardman finding out about the case so i had no choice but to keep it off the books you've got to keep this between us we still don't know if the director can be trusted the umbilical cord was taken from bridget strand i removed it in secret the cord wasn't attached to a fetus it was outside her body she asked me to take care of it said it was the key to unlocking the death stranding but she insisted that i never tell the director the court shows no sign of decomposition or necrotization almost as if it's frozen in time i thought hartman might be able to make sense of it so i had it hidden with your cargo at mountain not city dead man's observations were accurate it's just like mama's corpse what do you mean i mean they share a very unique property both contain large amounts of corallium in their cells in other words the president's cord was somehow connected to the beach and that allowed it to escape the flow of time i've put together the bones of a theory it's patchy but worth sharing i think life on earth has been rocked by many extinctions great and small including the big five and if you examine the earth's strata its history if you will you'll find corellium deposits that can be dated to each what if the manifestation of our of beaches and other associated phenomena correspond to extinction level events you mean yes our death stranding could just be the latest of many the records and research you helped us to recover strongly suggest that we are in the middle of the sixth extinction sixth extinction come on you know what this is yes a frozen mammoth from 10 000 years ago correct and this the iceman from uh five 5300 years ago they both have the same umbilical cords [ __ ] humor me what if the mammoth and the iceman weren't frozen you're saying time stopped for them just like it did for mama hmm unfortunately all these specimens were lost in the death stranding so there's no way to examine the genuine articles but some fragments of data did survive with the aid of the chiral network we may be able to piece together something more concrete using evo tech all right how's this a dinosaur from 65 and a half million years ago umbilical cord not decomposed only mammals have umbilical cords no only mammals have umbilical cords used for childbirth this is something else call it a strand from the other side i propose that mammalian and bilisai are a sort of omesis of the strand that then evolved over time we shouldn't assume that everything about a death stranding is detrimental to life trilobites ammonites dinosaurs the mammoth the iceman all preserved as if frozen in time all without exception found with strands which is to say that all may have been connected to the beach and this when viewed in the context of the extinction entity ee theory leads me to surmise that organisms with strands are in fact extinction entities you see sam ease are connected to the beach via their strands and it is through this connection that they somehow bring about a death stranding so you're saying bridget was an extinction entity it's far too soon to say anything for certain and since you burned her body we may never know hicks said emily's an ee that she doesn't have dooms like the rest of us sam think assume that president strand was an ee isn't it possible that her daughter is too at the very least higgs may hope as much now that the president is unavailable so he kidnaps her for ee powers or whatever to cause a mass extinction hmm perhaps perhaps not i doubt a single ease powerful enough to cause a death stranding assuming amelie is an ee well egg sure thinks she's got what it takes indeed and we need to get her back as soon as possible please hold on to something secure ah this one is real sam go west how do you want me to handle die hardman with your customary reserve nothing good will come of him learning of our suspicions whatever else is going on we still need the chiral network all right activating lab security measures three two one it's time sam when you're ready proceed to the shore of the tar belt and begin work on the cairo relay once it's ready use the cupid to bring it online the necessary materials are prepped for you supplies are limited so handle them with care you'll be carrying a lot too all things considered this might be one of your hardest runs to date hartman knows more about the site than i do so he'll take it from here it's about time for his wake-up call anyway right about that way station the site we have chosen was an original candidate for the weigh station we lost to the top belt ironically we suspended construction because we deemed it a little too unstable and not worth the risk but this time it's our best shot so let's hope we weren't right to change horses in midstream fortunately for us the foundation we laid down is still intact all you have to do is transport the necessary materials to the site and finish the job i'm afraid it's the only way we can expand the network further west and rescue harmony we're counting on you sam order a sign sam you need to get those materials processed in order to finish the cairo relay good job sam now access the terminal and bring the relay online [Music] and with that we're all linked up once you cross the tar belt the end will be in sight we're this close to emily to america's second chance edge not city awaits the staff we're sending will start by building a safe house over time they'll expand their operations and establish a new facility in doing so they'll carry on the legacy of the brave souls lost to the tar all thanks to you sam now let's figure out how to get you across this tar belt [Music] the only way west is through that to make matters worse i don't believe your pcc is capable of building anything that will get you across there must be a way we can't give up not with what's at stake we'll see if we can't think of something here but considering everything you've been through i wouldn't be surprised if you've already got a few ideas of your own wow [Music] [Music] [Music] hmm uh huh can't say i would have ever thought of that well done sam with you out there giving it your all this hope for us yet is um [Music] bridges falling down falling down falling down [Music] lady uh so so [Music] thanks down you don't want to scare the poor girl away do you she's in there i can smell her of course i wouldn't know for sure if it wasn't for you and your wonderful network bless your heart thank you [Applause] [Music] oh sam bridges careful contents are fragile like the world and everything in it me um no exception [Music] i'm not the only one wearing masks either there's your boss man that woman and oh let's not forget little you okay it's okay i know it ain't easy wearing a mask all the time now the mask can come off right hey you remember this hmm sweet homily she's holed up in the beach nearby tell you what what say we make it a race whoever wins gets to usher in the end of days nothing like the eve of extinction bring focus to the mind makes folks honest there'll be no need for masks soon but i wonder when you look death in her eyes you bling [Music] me still with me sam even now our way forward our way to save emily is the same as always your first priority is to get the local distro center on the network until it's complete and everybody's connected higgs won't find it easy to get to emily she should be safe so take your time and do it right what's the hold up sir connect your cupid to the terminal and bring the site online shout out [Music] crazy good work sam you've made it as far as bridges one ever did we never pushed further west frankly as a miracle we kept that district center running anyway you're almost at edgeknock city your final destination where emily should be waiting smile sam only one more knot to go one last time to put that cupid to use though you'll need another component to finish the job regardless the nationwide network will serve as your ticket home just bear in mind that by bringing edgenot online you'll likely be revealing emily's location to higgs you'll need to get to her before he does head to your private room and get your gear sorted when you're ready to go we'll give you what you need make sure not to leave the distro center without taking the order [Music] uh sam are you there homily can you hear me sam over here homily the network's nearly complete just one more knot to go and then america will be whole again [Music] did i ever tell you my real name i wanted to it's amerigo after americo vespucci the man who discovered the continent i thought it was columbus except america was full of it he lied america is a lie i'm on the beach sam our beach the one where i was born higgs will never find me here he can't so don't worry get the last cupid to edge not city and finish what we started i'll meet you in your room at the distro center when it's all over there's something you need to know sam i've kept things from you worn a mask for the longest time everything had said about me is true i could end it all us mankind extinction that's what i am how does that even mean but it's not what i want to be all i want is for you and me and everyone in this world to be whole [Music] promise you'll stop me don't let me end it all i'll be waiting for you on the beach homie mama lee [Music] [Music] oh breach check the other way [Music] my second you still with me sam check the terminal and pick up that order before you leave you can't finish this this is it sam edge nut city the last piece of the puzzle you'll need more than just a cuban to link this one up though you'll also be required to supply a network activation key anticipating terrorist interference we held onto it for safekeeping it's been sitting in that distro center gathering dust until now collect it at the terminal and take it to edge.city luckily for us the automated systems at the distro center there still seem to be operational so once the key is entered it should automatically interface with the backbone network a word of caution sam the activation key has a unique identifier if anything happens to it you can't just print a new one it's one of a kind irreplaceable and for the love of all that's holy don't lose it and don't go breaking it either you hear me sam if ever there was a delivery knock to [ __ ] up it's this one we're all counting on you remote detonation grenade launcher launches explosive projectiles as you may have guessed can be used in conjunction with a variety of rounds depending on your needs and yes said rounds are indeed detonated remotely and at your discretion after firing order bridges [Music] valid activation key confirmed interfacing with not network [Applause] [Music] we've done it sam the cairo network now spans the entire continent our nation is whole again reborn as the united cities of america if terrorists or whoever else striketh now even if they succeed in destroying a knot the network will endure everything passes through the beach now and the beach will keep us together but we can't rest yet you still have one more job to do sam a new nation needs a new leader and only one woman has what it takes to succeed bridget strand a woman destined from birth to inherit this legacy emily she's out there and she needs your help bring her home sam and keep an eye out for higgs he could be zeroing in on her as we speak now that edgenot city's linked up she should be getting ready to head to your private room so check yourself in and sit tight um you came for me i knew you would sam it's me homily i need to tell you something i am the extinction entity [Music] go [Music] oh and protect you have a pleasant journey [Music] what the [ __ ] a complete chiral network spread all across america connecting all them precious little nuts i got the whole world in the palm of my hands five we've had five mass extinctions each caused by an extinction entity and now it's time for number six now i'm not talking about the death of a few dozen species no this this is the granddaddy of them all bt anti-matter of whitting out all life as we know it and it wouldn't be possible not a boy scout like you willing to make us all again what do you say come on [Music] sam the great work is nearly complete every knot is joined soon i will merge them and all mankind's beaches into a single shore and then will come in extinction like no other more massive than any before it the last this is my purpose [Music] the last stranding my reason for being the first was nothing more than a prelude [Music] surely you figured it out people like us [Music] she's the source of it all nightmares the taunt us the visions of an inescapable future sound familiar happy [ __ ] doomsday sam [ __ ] you sam don't you get it you can speed this up or slow it down but you cannot stop when we've started even if you beat me you can't save her it's all this this is a done deal there's no coils extension is a four dollar conclusion time to reset so let the game resume [Music] you can stop this thing alright [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] emily i'm elite she's fine extinction's on hold for now let her go all that very patriotic what a waste well we'll pick this up when you're done dying yes see you on the beach for the grand finale oh [Music] [Music] damn it higgs took it to the beach we can't let him get away there has to be a way you can catch up to him hurry sam you know what's at stake if you don't stop higgs he'll use emily to bring about this doomsday of his and everything we achieved will be for nothing [Music] so oh good morning sam blood collection complete thank you for your generosity higgs wants to connect the nuts of your network with emily's beach so it's pretty clear where they went so how do we get there i can't but you and emily have strong connections you've been to her beach plenty of times right you can make the jump you're gonna come through for me i'll try to take him alive promise me i'm the one who finishes him off [Music] good then i'll help you get where you need to go i can send us both at once but i'll be right behind you i thought you said you couldn't go to her i can't but i can go to you by the ties that bind us together the dreamcatcher will lead you to her hold on the misonga will lead me to you you're going in like that yeah i don't need a weapon i'm not gonna take lou either fragile what do you have anything to eat oh god you hooked uh [Music] sam be careful worse comes to worst take care of lou all right [Music] for this to work i'll have to touch you close your eyes [Music] now picture emily in her beach [Music] you love her right you love her there it is ugh emily sam what are you doing here you ready to end this before the end of everything [Music] what are you gonna do what i'm supposed to do keep the extinction entity safe until the slate is wiped there's no stopping the signage extinction no matter what you me or anybody else does humanity has a few hundred thousand years left tops why don't we just cut to the chase accept our faith that the creatures before us we all know it's coming why delay the inevitable those of us with dooms heard we're all bound here for a reason we are all of us a part of the death in this place this [ __ ] beach there's no repatriation here no one of us dies that's it he goes to the other side it's nice huh lucky loser gets to put him into this rinse me [ __ ] once and for all so no bts no void outs no [ __ ] just a good old-fashioned boss fight stick versus rope done versus strand one more ending before the end one last game i am the particle of god oh [Music] oh [Music] america's glory days just putting off the enabler i don't need the gun sam i can beat you i can beat you okay oh oh ugh [Applause] you just don't get it dude you can't stop this thing [Music] we got dooms sam this was only ever gonna end one way so come on [Music] what [Music] [Music] [Music] [ __ ] die already [Music] [Music] everyone [Music] uh [Music] oh um you're getting a little touchy-feely there mister often fosm phobia well congratulations you won the game too bad you didn't stop [ __ ] well get on with it fragile yes i left a lasting impression i'm but fragile not that for sure this time you're the one who's going to break is that right i think you'll find our bond is made of stronger stuff oh what's this you're already broken what the [ __ ] i'm higgs i'm a particle of god that permeates all existence what are you honey you ain't nothing but damaged goods [Music] you are damaged goods there you go i promise thanks [Music] what took you so long [Music] [Music] i brought you a metaphor take it with you tell the lifeverse with porter syndrome what happens when you hide behind the mask no you keep it it's better they hear it from the woman or so one more thing your little one managed to bring it here by picturing it as equipment you mind babysitting sucks so where should i send you beckiest he doesn't need your help he's got the carl network and he's got me we can jump east together lucky him we appreciate everything you've done for us we really do but we're good for now besides i'm sure they need you back at fragile express yeah who better to scoop up all the pieces and put them back together wouldn't want to settle for anything less than perfection fragile we square nothing owed nothing left to say so long sam [Music] come on let's go we still have work to do do you still believe in me even without higgs i am a walking time bomb i can end it all just like that but what i want what i have always wanted was to be a part of it for us all to be one what tell me the truth was this all for you or all for bridging this is for our country for our future that is the truth there's something that you need to know sam when you were back east i slipped out of here and i went to visit you what you lied [ __ ] me you have any idea what it took for me to get here you wouldn't have come if i hadn't you didn't care about america or bridges [Music] but we did know one thing you did care about something you were willing to cross a continent for a reason to build the uca it was diehard man's idea great so i'm mario and your princess peach oh you're right i never gave a [ __ ] about this country i have no ties to anything or anyone but you i'm so sorry sam [Music] but it all worked out in the end [Music] i guess that's taken care of i know you have questions but can you save them for after sure let's go how do we do it do we jump like fragile no the beach goes the whole way we run together [Music] run yeah like mario and princess beach [Music] wait here okay huh president bridget strand so you finally invited me to the beach remember this it's the same gun and now i'm using it to make things right you were supposed to make the world whole not [ __ ] it all up okay then get on with it there is no atonement not for us [Music] no it can't be uh [Music] is that really you yes it's me john remember i'm sorry i'm so sorry give me back my bb you're looking in the wrong place baby [Music] oh stay there [Music] so [Music] [Applause] huh it's me yes sorry didn't mean to startle you back east of the tar belt your private room you have amelie to thank for that where is she we don't know she didn't head back east no but after she saw to you she contacted hq and left us a message sam what i'm going to finish what bridget started just that and then gone bridgette i saw bridget on the beach sam please you yourself burned her body remember she wouldn't have remained on the beach couldn't have not even if it was her daughter's beach check the logs you've got them don't you sorry we didn't get any of it the only record we have is the one in your head what else do you remember i think i was there too cliff he took die hardman hostage the director that part you believe well it would explain why we haven't heard from him for so long i always suspected him but now i'm starting to piece together a different narrative something's been bothering me you see we've been operating on the assumption that higgs was controlling cliff but that can't possibly be correct because higgs is gone and cliff is still causing trouble you think cliff is the mastermind yes he's likely holding homily and the director captive on the beach and that's where i'm going [Music] wait a minute where's fragile she's safe here with us but so long as you're over there she won't be able to send you to the beach what you must understand sam while you were unconscious the situation changed quite a bit we'll explain everything i promise but first you should rest all right [ __ ] rest i'm going back to that beach and little lou doesn't need a break either i take it [Music] sam you helped us extend the cairo network from coast to coast and you dealt with higgs the uca is enemy number one we couldn't have come this far without you but there is still one final step we have to swear in a new president and establish a functioning government only then will america be whole again why don't you save that [ __ ] for someone who cares i've done my part [ __ ] america we've got bigger problems now i hear you sam government is the least of our concerns at this point cliff has amelie which means there may not be anything left to govern come tomorrow if tomorrow comes at all then why aren't we out there doing something about it i don't care what she is only that we get her back right you are rescuing army and averting the sixth extinction are one and the same but neither will be possible unless you first come back east we are in no position to give you orders of course but believe me when i say it is the only way [Music] sam everyone's here but you fragile transported us back to headquarters you okay never been better delivering so many people in such a short amount of time is mama no logna yeah i'm here too figured i should lend a hand we're all waiting for you sam no way in hell am i hauling myself all the way back there come on fragile let's do this i can't sam and not just because i'm a wreck it isn't safe to use the beaches to move people anymore cairo spikes have become far more frequent possibly as a result of expanding the network nationwide too many beaches sharing the same space wires get crossed and so forth you can see the toilets taking on the network itself with things the way they are it's too dangerous to risk jumping through beach even if i reach a beach there's no telling where i'll come out on the other side and i could get stuck in there that's why i can't go to you either but if i could get to the entrance of the beach i should be able to get you there the beaches are still there after all i can personally attest to that so yeah you will need to hold yourself all the way back here but once you have i promise i'll take you to emily straight to her beach the two of you share a very special connection your dream catcher her kipu they are no mere trinkets they are singular irreplaceable totems embodiments of your shared memories two sides of a coin the price of entry to her beach dream catchers are a product of native american tradition that of the ojibwe people to be precise they were said to ward off nightmares to alter one's dreams if dooms is indeed amelie's gift to us her shared dream of our future perhaps your totem is an invitation to change it a test challenging you to find hope amid hopelessness while we await your return i'll search the beach for armly and the director i doubt my ties to them are strong enough but better that than sitting around doing nothing i'll see if i can't find something in the records on the three of them maybe they're more connected than we know we're waiting for you the way home should be easier right hurry back east you already know the way and when you get here finders keepers now get out of there and make sure you head east towards lake not city there's no cargo to deliver this time or rather you're the cargo that's the mission gross [Music] oh either that sacrifice [Music] a foundation a bridge [Music] [Music] sam it's heartland be advised that chiral density in regions predisposed to strandings has increased dramatically no doubt the beach is to blame bts drawn into our world under these circumstances may be affected in unpredictable ways sam do you copy i've been looking into clifford unger and wanted to share my thoughts to recap unger was a u.s special forces operative whose retirement roughly coincided with the death stranding after he left the service he somehow became involved in the early bb experiments however he died before they ended now while the circumstances surrounding his death are not entirely clear i'm beginning to suspect that these battlefields of his are at least partially sustained by his enduring emotional attachments anger resentment regret i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the bb experiments that much seems clear given his repeated attempts to steal lou cliff seems to be driven by a compulsion to reclaim our bb as if that will make him whole again a compulsion so powerful that he was not only able to drag himself from the depths of hell but bring a piece of that hell along with him one thing's for sure he's nothing like a bt we need to know the whole story about his death and his connection to the bb experiments i'll keep digging and let you know what i find sam sam you're not going to believe what i found it's about the bp experiments their true purpose according to official records they were continued in secret on the order of president strand supposedly with the primary objective of developing pt detectors and preventing void outs any advancements that could be applied to the fields of chiral communications and beach research were meant to be of purely secondary benefit but it turns out that's just a cover story the truth is sam bbs were originally conceived as catalysts for the operation of the cairo network they're integrated into the infrastructure of not cities for that very reason every single one you've brought into the fold it was probably amelie herself who installed them as she moved west with the first expedition carrying out her mother's grand plan making sacrifice after sacrifice on the altar of progress president strand told the people what they wanted to hear and did what she thought had to be done also america could be whole again but i'm starting to wonder if it didn't cost her her soul the cairo network is our greatest creation our proudest achievement and our guilty of sin i don't know how to feel about it all maybe if we knew more about cliff and the bb experiments we'd be better placed to judge i'll be in touch [Music] hey sam i see you're coming up on late night stay strong we're all rooting for you to finish the job and come home safe by the way i've made more progress in a certain investigation it seems that clifford unger willingly put his own child in the care of the scientists conducting the bb experiments but he did so completely unaware of their true intentions this is pure speculation but i think when cliff found out about their plans he attempted to reclaim custody and after he failed the bb remained in the program's care in which case he would have every reason to bear a grudge towards the president the woman who allowed it all to happen don't you think but just because president strand is dead doesn't mean his hate died with her no i think he redirected it towards bridges towards you and amelie and anyone close to the director and now that hate is driving him to set in motion the last stranding to bring an end to the world as we know it why else would cliff hold amelie hostage on the beach he must know that she's an ee there's no time to lose you have to save her and the director though i still don't understand how he managed to travel to her beach in the first place there must be more to their relationship i'll see what i can find got a moment sam it's about the director so there's no way he could have made the jump to amelie's beach if they didn't share a strong personal connection right well i looked and i couldn't see one the network should have contained something anything but there was nothing whatsoever his entire life prior to his tenure with bridges has been redacted his name his past everything there's no telling who he was which led me to consider another possibility what if it isn't the director and amelie who have a connection but the director and clifford unger and what if that connection is what facilitated the director's jump to amelie's beach if it's those two who have a personal history then it might explain why cliff is holding the director hostage as well but even if that were the case it doesn't answer the bigger question how the hell did the two of them end up on amelie's beach sam hartman here there's something else i'd like you to consider a guess albeit an educated one concerning cliff's objective somehow with the aid of the chiral network our individual beaches have begun to coalesce resulting in the formation of a single massive scene should this process continue there is a risk that bts will flood across into our world bringing about a death stranding on a heretofore unprecedented scale now clifford angers battlefields and my own beach appear to be unaffected by this phenomenon existing entirely in isolation they do not and have never intersected with others but what if there were another class of beach one that exists on a higher plane that was responsible for setting this process in motion and what if the beach in question were none other than amelie's cliff may have summoned the director but i believe his true aim was to seize control of amelie's beach to exploit its power over every other beach and trigger the last stranding it's the only rational explanation for cliff's actions which is why you have to stop him if hartman's right then we're in serious trouble using the chiral network anomalies beach to trigger the last stranding that's why higgs went after amelie wasn't it if it was cliff who put him up to it yeah it all fits with the last stranding he'll finally have his revenge against the world that stole his life and his child you've got to stop him sam you've got to make the jump to amelie's beach as soon as possible get in and get her back it's our only hope if you can't then we're all doomed yep oh [Music] [Music] [Music] no matter what i couldn't just go off and get myself killed anymore [Music] in make me scared and made me brave [Music] sorry it took me so long [Music] don't make the same mistake be yourself be free captain i need you to hand it over shoot him john shoot him i gave you an order shoot him [Music] so oh this is target blue feathers [Music] so [Music] [Music] i need you um [Music] god [Music] [Music] uh [Music] ah baby we're getting out of here i promise give me back my baby are you clear or dumber who are you are you the father [Music] [Music] they told me your name was sam porter when you were sam bridges my bridge to the future huh sam you bring people together you want their bridge to the future [Music] come on sam stand up [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] take bb and get out of this place there's nothing i can do for your wife i'm sorry now if she orders me to do something i have to do it i have to but i served under you first [Music] and your family doesn't deserve this any of this why are you helping me if they catch you because you saved my life sir again and again when the brass sent us into the jaws of hell it was you that brought us home uh sam uh are you okay i reviewed your logs it looks like you were caught in a supercell and emerged an instant later on the other side of ground zero not far from port not city how'd i wind up here then remember victor he found you lying unconscious by the harbor and brought you inside i think cliff might be loose father he said give me back my bb impossible cliff was born he gave me this maybe he's trying to tell us something something about the bbs maybe about how they were made it didn't feel like he was trying to hurt us it felt like like he just wanted to talk but you said you saw him holding the director captive on the beach yeah they must have some history we don't know about the man bridget funny you should say that i've got something you should see found it in the archives while i was digging around it's a pre-recorded message from the director labelled if i don't come back all right this message is insurance in case something happens to me for bridges eyes only and i sure as hell hope that's who's watching i got a little present from emily said she'd take me to the beach if i wanted but i need this doll to show me the way a trap it has to be but i've decided to play along you've all been playing along to you haven't you you know this mask hides more than just my face well emily's a blank slate too no past no record she ever existed she's a ghost and the thing about ghosts i never met emily in person have you ever seen her in the flesh shook her hand touched her the original team we sent was divided into two groups emily was with the first mama and hartman were with the second they had no direct contact with her yes amelie's group was wiped out in edge north city everyone but her everyone who could say whether or not she exists [ __ ] she's real we've touched all right she and i both well i've only ever interacted with her hologram i'm telling you i've met her in person lots of times when i was little yes but on the beach here's what the president had to say about her daughter emily was born on the beach there her car remained though her ha came to this world this division of body and soul forced her to spend most of her childhood in the hospital but though her health was poor her doom's numbers were off the charts her supernatural talents blossomed as she grew older and overcame her limitations but by the time she was 20 she could travel to and from the beach body and all and that's where she started spending all of her time now if you wanted to get in touch with emily it was by a hologram or nothing the president insisted on that [Music] i swore an oath to the president and to america or as i was concerned her word was law so when she said emily was her daughter and the best candidate to succeed her i believed it but when the archives were restored i couldn't resist testing out my access privileges and that's how i found out bridget was diagnosed with uterine cancer in her twenties and couldn't have children you see doesn't add up does it there's no way emily could be bridget's biological daughter so where'd she come from who is she is she even real how can we be sure that emily is an extinction entity when we don't even know if emily is emily hell for all i know the ee theory might be [ __ ] but if it's not if she's the cause of the death stranding then i have to accept her invitation i've loaded my gun with hermetic rounds sam's blood it connects my gun to her to me to him all of us which means i should be able to take it with me to the beach i'm gonna stop what she started by stopping her [Music] one last confession i'm just a man no powers nothing special don't have dooms i can't repatriate like sam either don't know the first thing about dying i had never tried it yeah i've been to hell every single battlefield was hell but no matter how terrible it got i never died because all i ever did was run from death well i gotta go she's calling for me bridges don't let me down [Music] after he recorded this the director jumped to the beach or rather amelie summoned him there he had a gun to bridget when i saw him then cliff showed up took him away i thought he went to the beach to confront amelie yeah she was there too she was the one who got me out huh it's so obvious to me now i can't believe i didn't see it sooner it was um [Music] what happened the chiral network dropped out according to lachna it won't be long before it's completely unusable so all our hard work was for nothing let me finish what i was saying i'll tell him fragile you look like [ __ ] you should be resting i know i need to tell you something i had a little chat with higgs back on the beach didn't take much to make him talk you say why he betrayed you he said it was part of her plan what she was their leader the terrorist void outs the whole extinction agenda emily was behind it all like how she was i know you don't want to believe it but it lines up with what die hard man said he's turned on me after he met emily at first he was looking to expand his territory and i had a power he could use at least that's how he ended up working with me he was no terrorist he just wanted to reach more people but then she shows up with abilities that put mine to shame hell she could even control bts so higgs decides to go with her and that's when she turned him into her agent of extinction homily gave higgs his power yep she made him her homo demons what about bridgette you gotta tell me what she was doing on the beach you got an answer for that too i know it's a lot to swallow but he said himself that amelie's an extinction entity i looked inside his pod and there was no bb in there take a good look at what was it's the same doll die hard man had this is their bridge baby there's this idea that the terrorists brought back bb tech and bridges was just following suit it's garbage their methods and yours are completely different your bb links you to the world of the dead they're darlings them to emily in her beach you know who else had dolls like this cliff he was carrying them on the battlefields cliff higgs the director all three of them were drawn in and controlled by this extinction entity and who is this ee really is it rigid is it homily all i can say is that the answers are on the beach what she wants and why if we get to the bottom of that then maybe we can still avert the last stranding you've got to find her sam whoever she really is she's waiting for you on the beach hurry back east [Music] sam the connection's unstable so i'll keep this short we have a job for you fragile's condition is deteriorating if she slips into a coma there's a chance her soul might become stranded on the beach she needs crypto biles fast luckily for us fragile express keeps a stockpile there in port node city so we'd like you to grab some for us while you're in the area all the details are on the terminal upstairs please sam this is critical [Music] oh [Music] you know what day it is today baby today would be a very special day if your mommy hadn't you're not born yet but the more candles the merrier right soon it'll be time for you to come out into the real world i promise [Music] and then we can have a real party happy birthday we've been getting near constant time fall in this region for a while now as a result everything you've built for us out here has been completely destroyed the good news is we managed to recover all cargo stored on site and transferred it to the capital not city distro center as for the not so good news cairo printers are currently unusable due to the network instability given the circumstances you might want to consider turning to your fellow porters for assistance but i'll leave that up to you sam i'm sure you'll come through for us you always do so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] oh [Music] uh ah yes you did it zap oh i could kiss you you sweet son of a [ __ ] i thought it was all over thank heavens you made it fragile's been in a coma for a while now but with all these crypto bios you brought we should be able to bring her round and with any luck it'll only take a few more to get her back on her feet you did well sam [Music] so sam you're back it must have been one hell of a journey especially on your own but now the whole team is together again the whole team die hardman too too much traveling to and from beaches in such a short span chiral matter contaminated her cells effectively causing jet lag on a molecular level because of that her homeostatic mechanisms were shaken don't worry she's not in any danger but she needs some rest so where's the director he's being looked after in another room bridge's personnel found him lying outside the isolation ward similar to when you came back from cliff's beach even after decontamination she needed more and more time to recover [Music] sam you made it hungry thanks looks like you need me after all who'd have thought anyway clock's ticking am i right sam's here the great deliverer the only one who can reach emily's beach you're in no condition to do this it's not fair to you or sam um in my own search for amelie's beach i have come to realize something extraordinary if beaches were likened to a multiverse hers would appear to exist on a higher plane than ours i can walk the beaches of others but hers is beyond my reach it's invisible inaccessible even to fragile i fear uh imagine it as a circulatory system if you will each of our beaches is a single capillary but amelie's beach is the heart that pumps blood to the rest of us capillaries are subordinate to the greater whole a hole governed by the heart which gives direction which dictates flow which dictates everything controls everything don't you see she is in control [Music] you may be able to travel against the flow and reach her but having done so if she does not wish to let you go if she wishes to keep you she can fragile and die hardman broke free from her beach didn't i i don't think it was any different from what happened to you i didn't get out because i wanted to i was forced out repatriated if you will by her forced out why this is only a theory but she wants you wants you to go to her that's her final wish don't you think so that's it huh i'mma lose the ee and this is her end game just so we're clear if i want to stop the last stranding and come back in one piece i need to go to her beach and talk her out of it that about right correct as cliche as it sounds you're our only hope though quite frankly i doubt even you can change her mind if you can't make her see reason you'll have to kill her and if you kill her you'll save the world but you'll be stranded outside of it forever [Music] uh [Music] so might as well make it official then you ready to deliver the package [Music] i'll talk to her maybe she'll listen but with the shape the world's in it'll only be delaying the inevitable still if it buys us time to try and build something better a new lease on life at least for a little bit well i can think of one woman who made the most of a chance like that nothing lasts forever not even the world but we got to keep it going as long as we can right patch the holes change the parts all that so we can say we had a good run that we lived thought you didn't like having to handle things with care because it was hard enough keeping my own [ __ ] together back when we met at the cave the only thing i cared about was making it to the next sunrise sure as hell didn't care about america or the future i was living a lie hung up on past regrets i was broken but somewhere along the way i started changing started meeting people that made me think that maybe it wasn't all bad people that put their faith in tomorrow and in me that kept the lights on and waited for hope to arrive so i gotta deliver for their sake even if it means you never come back [ __ ] if i do [ __ ] if i don't right [Music] take care of lou i will couldn't find a working still mother easter fortnight city kid's done enough no more all right i'll do my best to nurse our little one back to health [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay concentrate help me look for emily [Music] reach for her sam feel her i know you love her you love her here [Music] sam [Music] there you are ah [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] another way [Music] [Music] uh [Music] ah uh land and bridges falling down falling down falling down landing bridges falling down [Music] by fair lady [Music] the last stranding has already begun homily [Music] you're too late what took you so long your voice you still don't know who i am do you who are you [Music] sam i knew you'd come back [Music] sam listen to me i love you sam i'll be waiting for you on the beach i've been waiting for you right here ever since you were supposed to stop me stop all of this bridgette yes it's me sam [Music] where's emily where she's always been nowhere my daughter samantha america's strand doesn't exist [Music] emily doesn't exist not in your world i'm sorry sam i've had to wear a mask for so long emily and bridget are both a part of me what's this supposed to mean quiet and i'll tell you there is no time for questions listen just listen [Music] do you understand sam amelie and bridget those are just names what i am is an extinction entity so knowing what you know now you have two choices [Music] just getting shot one of them you wouldn't come back if it happened here you know you'd be straight on to the afterlife but no it's not one of them killing you would be a terrible mistake i know that better than anyone [Music] the last stranding has already begun a seam has formed from my beach and the beaches of every soul in america and soon it will be inundated by a vast surge of antimatter starting here in a flash this world will be no more consumed by an explosion a big bang so that brings us to your first choice do nothing stay here with me and bear witness to the very end just watch it burn together with me until the last flame winks out doesn't sound so bad does it it's not like the world has long left anyway then there's the second choice in expanding the network you brought people and their beaches together integrating them into a greater hole like this kipu but in doing so you also bound them to my beach the very beach where i open the gates to the other side [Music] you can't stop what's coming but if you cut me in my beach loose perhaps you can stop it from spreading you might just prevent the last stranding and mankind will live to die another day but it doesn't have to end here but it does the beach is doomed no matter what one lookout to tell you that [Music] which is why we must sever our connection that'll be in the end of the death stranding you can't stop the inhabitable the sixth extinction will happen either today or tomorrow you can either end it with dignity quick clean and in a flash or you can struggle in vain knowing full well what's waiting come to finish those are your choices [Music] you kept it all this time perhaps you still have a chance to stop this nightmare you brought the world together you have the right to decide pull the rope or cut the noose but whatever you do don't hesitate i'm ready sam strand make your choice wait i don't know what to do sure you do after everything how could you not [Music] i'm here for you always like you were for me [Music] [Music] here it's a dream catcher [Music] wear it when you sleep and i'll keep the nightmares away [Music] i'll always be with you when you're all grown up you'll need it to make us whole again and when the time comes you'll have to stop me you are the only one who can promise you'll remember sam i'll be waiting for you on the beach i remember [Music] you knew you always knew i did and i didn't i had so many dreams of the future i didn't know which ones to trust which is why i decided to share them with you and the others [Music] but to connect the dots to make sense of everything you need perspective you need time [Music] time has no meaning to me i am not a line i am a single point [Music] which is why all i could do was just show you the choices and let you our decide are your dreams you found the common thread the strand that links them together and you did that the only way possible to live life one day at a time thank you sam a gun won't help you here but it still has a role to play it was the bonds between people that brought the world together and if that is what matters most to you then i will stay here on this beach and i will shut myself in and the rest of you out shut yourself in come on since the last stranding starts it can't be stopped i can't go with you all i can do is try to spare you the worst why do you have to stay on the beach sam i am the beach and i must stay here and ensure that the extinction happens even if it takes tens or hundreds of thousands of years alone that's what an ee does [Music] if i had just done my job none of this would have happened but i i couldn't take it anymore i got so tired of waiting and i figured that no one would blame me if i just got it all over with so that's what i did sounds like hell but you and the others came together connected and you may be living on borrowed time but you still have hope before each of the big five life rebelled they fought back evolved in order to survive [Music] the extinction isn't just an ending it's an opportunity [Music] and if i have to pay the price for that to be the sacrifice and so be it [Music] even if we aren't together we will always be connected goodbye sam [Music] [Music] uh [Music] [Music] a gun won't help you here but it still has a role to play [Music] uh [Music] quiet and i'll tell you there is no time for questions when you were young you used to have bad dreams you cried about them all the time the truth is those weren't your dreams they were mine for as long as i can remember i've dreamt of the beach not just while sleeping in my waking hours too in my dreams i watched the world end so many times countless past extinctions that decimated life on this planet again and again and again at first i didn't understand what i was seeing or why and that wasn't the worst of it there were other more terrible dreams dreams of death and destruction of a massive extinction to come like this one and i would always be the one to end it all to bring about the last stranding as i have today the first operation i was only 20. i opened my eyes and found myself on the beach my heart and that one amelie my car in this somehow the two of us managed to coexist soon our ages began to diverge only bridget's body got older while the beach kept homilies the same so i came up with a story i told people that amelie was my daughter a daughter with a debilitating condition and an absent father [Music] look amelie um is french for soul a soul that's a lie there was no homily only me and the beach i thought it was a curse in the beginning but later i started thinking maybe i can use this i tried to find out more about the beach because understanding the beach had to be the key to interpreting my visions of the future i realized the beach was connected to the world of the dead which meant that somewhere out beyond it were the memories of time itself including those of every organism that had ever lived 4.6 billion years of biological history a history that might even stretch back to the creation of the universe the chiral network and everything that followed was born from my pursuit of that knowledge by passing data through the beach we were unbound by the restrictions of time simulations that would have taken years or more were simple and effortless everything that the earth had lost and forgotten could be reconstructed and reclaimed but shortly after we began our research america saw its first void out i thought i was running out of time that my nightmares were becoming a reality so i raced to complete the chiral network as quickly as possible the past held all the answers if only i could find a way to piece them together a network that bridged our world and the beach that might do it i believed so i started researching bridge babies children bound to the world of the dead what causes an extinction entity to come into being what was the reason for the previous five mass extinctions the answers to those questions would tell me how to stop the sixth i founded bridges more determined than ever to build a chiral network that would cover all of america but the longer i fought my war against the inevitable the weaker i became ha had cancer the beach's punishment maybe for not playing along like a good little ee and then just like that my home was gone i couldn't finish what i'd started so i asked you to do it for me and you did you helped us complete the network helped us to reclaim everything the universe experienced from its inception to this moment every mystery was ours to solve like this one once there was an explosion a big bang that gave birth to time and space thing is it was more like a big fluke all that matter and antimatter should have canceled itself out leaving nothing but somehow somehow a tiny speck of matter survived just enough [Music] enough to make this world and everything in it a world that shouldn't be a world out of balance order inevitably gives way to chaos everything that lives must inevitably die it's like the universe is trying to return us to the nothing we came from maybe the big five were its best attempts to finish us off but somehow life always managed to survive just enough enough to thumb its nose at the will of the cosmos you know i'm starting to think that extinction might be the key to overcoming total annihilation it forces life to fight to survive to endure to exist that's why the big five ultimately rekindled life instead of extinguishing it from the ashes of the dead rise the living stronger and wiser inheritors of the legacy of existence itself they defy the universe and refuse to surrender they say we're just getting started extinction is an opportunity uh i pulled the trigger twice that day i knew at once i'd made a mistake i found your beach and looked everywhere for you sam there you are uh oh [Music] [Music] you want to go home let's go home i want it i wanted to set you free from death once and for all [Music] but in doing so i upset the fundamental balance between life and death i just wanted to save you [Music] i am an extinction entity it's my fate to lead our species to extinction but that moment you became part of that fate you became a repatriate and dooms started spreading my nightmares to others throughout the world it was me that got you and everyone with dooms into this not long after the death stranding occurred the dead clung to our world and bts used my beach to cross over and devour them triggering more void outs a catalyst that would set the world on a path to extinction it was my duty to serve as a sacrifice to wait and watch it unfold from this beach that or hasten the last stranding and end this slow death given these my only options i chose to end it quickly but to trigger the last stranding i needed you a part of me here too i would be able to witness extinction consummated with you by my side but now that you're here there's another choice you can cut me off an ee doesn't have that option for itself but in my nightmares i saw another future one that you chose one where extinction is hope against total annihilation [Music] uh a gun won't help you here but it still has a role to play uh listen sam i was the one that brought you and cliff together again there was something i wanted you to know you are never abandoned and you're not alone don't you see sam you have to live [Music] uh [Music] uh [Music] it's right i here him this way oh my god he's over there [Music] over here [Music] okay [Music] don't give up you're still connected [Music] [Music] [Music] gotcha [Music] thank you [Music] so for too long have we lived as strangers to one another divided by walls built to keep us safe but now with the completion of the cairo network we may at last move forward as a people united today we come together to celebrate the birth of a new nation a new nation for a new world the united cities of america i once took an oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states and though that proud republic may be no more we remain and so as your president i hereby swear to support and defend you the people let there be no more walls between us nor masks to hide who we are foreign let there be a new america an america where we can face one another where we can speak our minds and open our hearts the old ways die hard but i believe my fellow americans that we have the strength and the courage to rise above our past and embrace our future the death stranding is a part of that past an enduring shadow a constant reminder of what could have been that we stand here today is testament not to the greatness of any one individual but to our capacity to come together to the bonds between us to our collective greatness all things must come to an end ourselves included but as long as we savor each moment find joy in the promise of tomorrow embrace hope and reject despair we will endure president bridget strand and her daughter samantha america strand sacrificed everything in their pursuit of hope that we the people might be whole again that they are not here today to see the fruits of their labor fills us all with a profound sadness but we find comfort in the knowledge that their memories will live on in the chiral network and in our hearts we will always remain connected there is another hero in this story one whose achievements seem destined to go unrecognized america still needs that hero that person without whom we would not be here the name is unimportant but you know who i mean and for that unsung hero i have a message was you who brought us together you who made us whole again and while you and i will eventually pass on going somewhere sam tired of being the unsung hero no i'm done is all she's gone come on wait there's something i need to tell you huh this doesn't bother you anymore well that's great now wouldn't you like to know how we brought you back from the beach we were going to use the doll but didn't have one handy which is when i remembered something else not what i think it is yes what could be more connected to amelie's beach than president's friend's umbilical cord hartman thought that's why she left it with me in the first place unfortunately it didn't work yeah she'd already cut her beach loose it was just gone we didn't know if that meant she dragged you into the great beyond or sent you to some other beach we were really wrecking our brains hartman and mama split up and started searching every beach you might feasibly have washed up on we looked for a month with absolutely nothing to show for it a month on the outside how long on the inside trust me when i tell you you don't want to know but don't worry we found no signs of accelerated aging in the end this is what led us to you just when we were about to give up die hardman reminded us about the revolver so we tried to follow it and it led us to a far corner of your own beach and bingo there you were mama made visual contact first she was able to see you from her vantage point on the other side she informed lachna via their connection and hartman confirmed your location during his subsequent nde the plan was for fragile to in essence slingshot lou and me to your position so we could rescue you but it's not so easy to send multiple individuals to another person's beach for an extended period of time and that's where the umbilical cord came in we wove these from president strand's dna they serve as a single knot that binds us all the president must have known all of this would happen ironic isn't it the gun that set this whole mess in motion ends up being the key to saving you hmm emily she said it had another purpose not a weapon but a lifeline a stick that became a rope i suppose that's one way of putting it oh sam you have no idea how long i've been waiting to give you a hug got something else to tell you top secret it's about cliff bibi's mother's name was lisa bridges cliff's common law wife lisa bridges now cliff was killed by a man identified in the records only as john former u.s special forces quite good at it by all accounts later appointed as an aide to the president who used him for most of her wet work the records go on to state that he vanished after cliff's death a warrant was put out but he was later found dead turns out some people die harder than others though dear john donned a mask and reappeared with a new identity but you can't fool the cairo network we restored the old records and mama hid them deep in the archives you're the only one besides us with access privileges take a look if you're so inclined but don't say i didn't warn you the president's got some dirty dirty laundry [Music] i don't trust him that i'll work with him if that's what it takes we'll talk later sam i don't expect you to forgive me but would you hear me out i killed captain clifford bunger i would tell you i did it for america for love of country but i didn't i did it for her because i loved her with all my heart she was everything to me everything now i'm not trying to make excuses i just want you to know that not a day's gone by when i haven't thought about it [Music] time didn't help or the mask please let me finish he the captain saved my life you know why they call me die hardman because he wouldn't let me die he brought my sorry ass back home every time and i loved him as much as i loved her [Music] and when he stared me down that ghost i knew he was here to kill me [Music] to make it right and why shouldn't he [Music] why didn't he he couldn't save us his kid his baby and that's what brought him back i guess when he he saw i was trying to do my part for america he remembered who he was and he forgave me god but i don't deserve it god damn it there is no autonomy for what i've done [Music] [Music] but maybe maybe this is the next best thing [Music] maybe he brought me back from the beach for a reason one last time he wanted me to do this to keep on being die hardman no he didn't nobody wants a president who acts like they're immortal and if you're not scared of death how can you value life and life is pretty [ __ ] fragile right now [Music] and yeah the old ways die hard but that's what's gonna have to happen if we're gonna come together and build a better america that gun will help you here that's her words not mine thank you sam [Music] hey sam been waiting for you lou dead poor thing was never truly alive not in this world at least the decommissioning order finally came through can't raise necrosis the body can't stay here i thought you might want to take care of it you could try taking lou out of the pod just to see what happens but that would be in direct contravention of an executive order and there are laws about that kind of thing now that we're a nation i just couldn't bring myself to do it [Music] but if the alternative is defying the president i can't do that either not me all right i'll go to the incinerator [Music] before you leave i'd like to check something quickly i just took your cufflinks offline in that state there'd be nothing to stop you from removing them if you did the uca wouldn't know where you were or how to find you you'd be invisible when you use the incinerator you'll be reconnected to the network automatically i trust you'll remember what i said all right absolutely [Music] [Music] thanks for everything [Music] [Music] how's the weather don't think you'll be needing an umbrella i decided to follow my father's dream after all don't worry i won't get mixed up with any terrorist this time uca's got my back we're the first private delivery company to get the official approval sounds like you're moving up in the world congratulations thanks wait there's something i have to tell you i didn't shoot higgs couldn't pull the trigger [Music] so i let him choose death or eternal solitude on the beach well fair enough you never did like breaking things that's right i find and fix what's broken and reconnect [Music] i'm fragile but not that fragile want to come work for me could use a man like you the world's still broken same as before what isn't but we're still here we're still chugging alone not everyone not me come on you put america back together didn't you doesn't mean there's a place for me i've got no ties to anyone or anything i might as well be dead i felt like that when we first met in the cave i still do don't act like you're the same person you've learned how to touch to feel you've connected with people with us everything i touch i lose sam [Music] come on lou one last delivery [Music] all right i guess we're here you're still with me though poor thing was never truly alive not in this world at least thanks for everything this child's special one of a kind a baby candidate either that or a sacrifice [Music] a foundation a bridge brought you an astronaut mankind can go anywhere even outer space you'll be out there in no time and the second all this is over i'm gonna take him wherever you wanna go [Music] can i help you holy [ __ ] john is that you captain what are you doing here my wife's checked in i don't want a repeat of last year the void out in manhattan i'm so sorry i didn't know you were the husband [Music] this isn't what we agreed on you said you do everything in your power to save bibi we are but we cannot release your son just yet believe me when i tell you it's for the best says some woman in a mask who's done nothing but lie to me [Music] i have a duty to protect our country lies are an unfortunate necessity [Music] the president gave me the highest level access privileges i've used them to manipulate the security system we have five minutes before it resets sir five minutes to talk off the record take bb and get out of this place [Music] there's nothing i can do for your wife i'm sorry [Music] you were my commanding officer but i swore an oath to the president to protect her and the country at all costs now if she orders me to do something i have to do it i have to but i served under you first and your family doesn't deserve this any of this why are you helping me if they catch you because you saved my life sir again and again when the brass sent us into the jaws of hell it was you that brought us home back then i thought i was invincible i thought i was some kind of action hero but i'm not the hero you are sir you're the reason i'm still alive and it's past time i paid that debt they're moving your son to a new facility tomorrow you'll never see him again he'll serve as the foundation of a new communications network a sacrifice for a nation that no longer exists [Music] i wrote down everything you need to know it was the only way to keep it off the system [Music] burn it when you're done [Music] the rest is up to you sir [Music] [Music] [Music] i believe this belongs to you sir i can't terminate your wife's life support from inside her room system won't allow it so this is the only other option [Music] an alarm is set to go off if she flatlines i've rigged the system to spoof her vitals but you won't have long five minutes tops [Music] don't hesitate sir this is the only chance you'll get [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] i'm sorry lisa don't worry i'll take care of him i promise you i promise you [Music] i'm sorry [Music] [Music] maybe maybe bibi can you hear me [Music] [Music] [Music] i just took your cufflinks offline in that state there'd be nothing to stop you from removing them if you did the uca wouldn't know where you were or how to find you you'd be invisible when you use the incinerator you'll be reconnected to the network automatically you could try taking lou out of the pot just to see what happens but that would be in direct contravention of an executive order a purpose that cannot fulfill outside the pod there is a 70 risk of catastrophic failure simply in removing it [Music] uh [Music] uh uh freeze hey put it down drop it put it down back off get up don't do it i'll handle this [Music] [Music] oh god i'm sorry captain you got it you too stay there and hold your fight [Music] thanks for trying john stop step aside sir or we'll be forced to open fire it's a dead end he's trapped security will take it from here ugh ugh [Music] in here uh i'm sorry lisa i screwed it up [Music] i've ruined everything yes sir no open it up he's inside movement don't worry it's okay i'll always be with you see the sunset the is ending let that yawn out there's no pretending i will hold you and protect your [Music] um [Music] when i found out i was gonna be a father i was so scared scared of what it would mean i had to be there for you your mom no matter what i couldn't just go off and get myself killed anymore [Music] get off of him i had it all now all right [Music] being a father didn't make me scared it made me brave i'm sorry [Music] sorry it took me so long captain [Music] look at you don't make the same mistake [Music] be yourself be free my god captain i need you to hand it over shoot him john let it go please shoot him i gave you an order shoot him [Music] you told me your name was sam porter but your same bridges my son my bridge to the future without you i was just like any other cliff at that end no way forward nothing but an obstacle looking on at the world people like you were trying to build dividing people what's the only thing i was ever good at um [Music] [Music] you bring people together [Music] to the future [Music] seven [Music] [Music] is this me [Music] ah [Music] [Music] [Music] oh god not bb2 oh no no no no no ugh [Music] [Music] sam there you are [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you want to go home let's go home [Music] it's okay [Music] another way [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] so [Music] so there you are welcome back you understand his days as a bb are over now that his connection to the other side has been severed it was me who cut the court so yes a deathless repatriate in the world of the living should we decommission in a matter of speaking take him out of the pod i'll race him as my help [Music] oh up [Music] come on wake up wake up wake up [Music] wake up [Music] [Music] ah oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] louise [Music] [Applause] so [Music] so [Music] you
