(relaxed electronic tones) (soft ensemble tones) (metallic creaking) - Come on. (electronic whirring) (low anxious violin tones) Come on. (gunshots booming) - [IPMA Officer] This is the IPMA. You are in breach of Regulation 41. (people screaming) - Go after them. After them. Round them up. (electronic beeping) - [ID Pad] Reiss, Jacob. - Well that was a cluster fuck. - [Evans] When it kicked off, I just kept squeezing. I got through three mags. - [IPMA Officer] It's on them, man. - Don't forget Tac Reports, Evans you're up in 30. - Yes Sarge. - When's that dinosaur gonna leave and leave us the fuck alone? (mechanical humming) (anxious violin tones) (anxious electronic tones) (electronic beeping) - Last night saw the third raid on the Deep Shade Cartel this month. Following a major investigation into smuggling syndicates, the operations aimed to crack down on the illegal transfer of immigrants to New Earth. More than 30 people have been reported dead and 57 arrests made according to Commissioner Shepherd who has been leading the operations since last year. - This crackdown on the illegal transfer of immigrants to New Earth represents a significant victory in our coordinated multi-agency operations. Of course we bitterly regret the loss of any life and absolutely every measure has been taken to ensure civilian casualties are minimized. - Minister Gray was forced today to defend the IPMA amid calls for his resignation in the wake of the bloodiest operation since the Jaeger Pier massacre 15 years ago. The subsequently commissioned inquiry condemned the IPMA for excessive use of force, prompting a complete revision of IPMA arrest protocols and-- (cackling) (electronic zapping) (speaking foreign language) (relaxed electronic music) (gunfire booming) (dramatic intermittent tones) - [IPMA] Don't fuck around. They're all dead, Sarge. (alarm blaring) (distant siren blaring) (soft ensemble tones) (door buzzing) - Hi, I'm Jade. Alexa couldn't make it tonight and she's not gonna be available anymore I'm afraid. As a complementary gesture, the Club would like to offer you my services, half price. Works for me, see a new face. - What happened to Alexa? I always see her. - Where'd your flattery go? - I don't need to flatter you. - No, you don't. - Would you like a drink? Okay, no drink. (relaxed ensemble music) That's different. - We make our own choices. (relaxed ensemble music) (anxious ensemble tones) What? What, what's wrong? What's wrong? You all right, do you want me to call someone? - There's no one to call, just wait a minute. I just, no don't go, don't go. - Are you sure, I mean I could get my-- - Please, just a minute. Yeah? - I think-- - I'll get you's that drink right now. Yeah? It's good. - They don't allow it, not on the job. - What happened to making your own choices? Okay. (soft piano music) - Fuckin' right. - Yeah. (soft coughing) You all right? What's your name? You know I mean really. I'll pay just the same, I just you know, I just want to talk for a minute. - I'm sorry. My name is the only thing I get to keep for myself doing what I do. - Oh. - I've never been this close to them before. - You want to Leap? Well let's hope your clients are big tippers. - It doesn't work that way. - No? - You do this job for five years and make next to nothing. But when you're done they put you on board. They have ways to do it. - Who, the Clubs? - The syndicates who own the Clubs obviously. - Illegally too obviously. - Forget about it, I don't know why I'm telling you this. - You do know what that's like, don't you? Nine months in the dark freezing cold, sharing breathers. - Well we all need a dream, don't we? - Yeah. A dream. A drink. Whatever works. - Can I use your bathroom? - Yeah. (soft violin tones) (Jade panting) (urine trickling) (anxious violin tones) - Okay. Well this was nice. - No no no. Wait wait, just, just wait a minute. This is the real deal. Huh? Expensive stuff. - You're IPMA. You're IPMA and-- - Look, I put enough of you away last night and all I want is a break and anything you've said in this room stays in this room. Really. It's all right. Relax. Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm not supposed to interact with a girl like you either. - Like me? - Yeah. You know, a whore. - I'd rather be paid to fuck than to kill. (buzzing) Shit. I should've closed you ages ago. - Close me charming. - Looks like you'll have to close yourself. - Yeah, that thing come out does it? - No, they track us like cattle. - Yeah well the reason they put it there is so that if you do try to cut it out, you'll bleed to death before the hour's up. Look, they're not gonna put you on a fucking ship. They're gonna put you in the ground and replace you with some fresh meat they can pay off with promises and illusions. Just think about it, for fuck's sake. Why let you Leap when they can charge some other sucker through the nose for it? - Fuck you. - You think I don't know about this shit? I've been doing this for 15 years. - What is this, are you trying to scare me because I didn't finish you off? - Jesus Chri, it's no secret who runs the Clubs. We've got eyes all over the cartels. - You trying to recruit me, you need a snitch? Is that what all this shit with Alexa was about? - Well where is she? - What do you think? She Leapt. - Oh yeah? You heard from her since, she havin' a good time? Come on. - She's still in transit. She's not gonna send a postcard, is she? (buzzing) 300. It's 300. (electronic beeping) - Don't make all this mean nothing. You should go now. Go on. (anxious warbling tones) (dramatic somber violin music) (distant loudspeaker blaring) - So I hear you're finally gonna Leap then. Two more weeks, right? I wish I could get off this rock. Six more years for me until I can cash in. If you don't mind me asking Sarge, why now? I mean you could've done this years ago. - I do mind you asking. (relaxed flute, electronic music) - Congratulations New Earth traveler. You are just two short weeks away from a new life full of wonder and possibility. Within this info pack you will find all the necessary steps to get you started and to make your journey a smooth one. Please watch all the instructions carefully as you will be asked to provide a Mark Two Retinal Scan for pre-clearance at least 72 hours ahead of departure.

Have a nice day. (hard knocking) (door buzzing) - Shit, what have you done? (Jade gasping) Let me see. - You were right. I was so stupid. I know why they do it, I followed them but they saw me and I ran and I tried to get it out but I couldn't get-- - Easy, easy. It's all right. - I had nowhere else to go. - All right. - I'm sorry. - Okay. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I had nowhere else to go. I'm sorry. - Not with you. - I'm sorry. - Not again. Not again, not this time. Shh, shh, you stay here, you keep your head down and you don't move. - Erin. My name's Erin. (gunfire booming) (wood crackling) (tense electronic tones) (thuds) (grunts) (gunfire booming) (anxious violin tones) - [New Earth Agent] Congratulations New Earth-- (glass shattering) (wind howling) (thuds) (grunts) (electronic beeping) You will be asked to provide a Retinal Scan-- (crunching) New Earth looks forward to welcoming the new you.
