1x08 - Identity Crisis

Come on, man. ¿Donde estan...?

You gotta be out there...

One of you pick up, damn it.

- Uh, hello? - Cammie?

- Migas! - Yes!

- It's unbelievable. - I don't believe it.

That's what's I'm sayin'.

Chase! Man, you're hard to kill.

Me? What about you?

Wait, if you made it, then did ...

- is the Doc...? - Is he alive?

No. I'm really sorry, guys.

When the lab went up, he took out

most of the Union troops that made it inside.

Also, he's the reason we got past the nano.

It looked like you guys were flooded with it.

- How are you alive? - Whenever the Union scours a city,

only their troops or their sympathizers

who drank the Kool-Aid are left behind.

That's because they all carry a chip

puttin' out a signal telling the nano to back off. Keeps 'em safe.

Few weeks ago, the Doc gave the Colonel his idea

about how to mimic that signal.

We deployed it for the first time, the nano froze up

and we cut through the last of 'em like a hot knife.

- Hello, hook a girl up! - I got you covered, sending the code now.

Between the lab and cracking the Union signal,

- without the Doc... - None of us would be talking right now.

We owe him. Again.

- But, man, where you been? - On the run.

It took us a hot minute to lose the Union.

Nemesis was tracking us using the GL network.

- What-a-sis? - The mystery mech.

- Under the hood, it's a Holon. - Turns out, he and Chase are...

- They share... - He's me.

- Or I'm him, more like. - Say what?

Let's just say GL ain't copy-protected.

Oh... Oh, damn.

Okay, well, I like you better if that helps,

so, um, how 'bout we take another shot at him?

100%. We're packed and ready to go.

Good, because Union's making another big move

and with the nano under control,

we just need someone to keep Nemesis off our backs.

Show me where.

Sweet home Chicago.

He'll lounge on his charging pad all day

- if ya let him, so... - Yeah, no worries.

- Go forth and kick ass. - Behave!

We seem to have a pretty disruptive effect wherever we go.

- I'm really sorry about that. - No, you're always welcome.

Chase, Rufus shared your file when you were first identified.

Wouldn't stop talking about you.

You've come far already. I know he was proud.

Thank you.

Hey, Cal. Let's get on board, okay?

Behemoth in Lake Michigan has dropped cloak.

T-minus 15 minutes to intracontinental test fire of the hammer system,

- so hang in there. - It's begun.

- _ - We have a mission.

We will be helping.

So, what's the game plan for Nemesis, then?

__

_

No, we want him isolated.

We pull him off the Vanguard and keep him away from any backup.

- How do we draw him out? - We put down at the edge of the city.

We call him funny names and see if he comes running.

That's it? That's your plan?

Simple, but effective.

- Say again? - Dr. Weller gave you

this rating many times in his performance reviews.

I'mma take that as a compliment.

No sign of Nem.

Wait, got some bogies. It's not him, but...

_

Hey, I know you're creepin', so listen to this.

All this time I've been fighting to keep it together,

it turns out I'm not even the original.

So I've gotta know, what could make you stand what you've become?

Why don't you rise up? Why are you still the Union slave,

'cause that's what you are and I don't understand.

Isn't there any of me ... us, left in you?

If there is, you're gonna have to prove it.

If there isn't, well, you're gonna have to come shut me up

or else we're gonna find out

how you like having someone in your head all the time.

Okay, keep your eyes open.

And activate any mods you're gonna want.

- Ah, okay, okay. - And I just want you all to know

that I haven't dropped my fear response whatsoever.

Movement, inbound.

- It's something big-ish. - That was quick.

He's way faster than before. No way he can run like that.

Ah, hang on, I still want to change my fear response.

Ah, shit.

Check it out. Tall, dark, and ugly got...

...more like that.

- Cammie! - On it!

- Now would be good! - I'm sending!

They've already patched it with something new.

Kazu!

He's sensing us!

You think too loud.

He's reading us like a book.

_

The signal ain't workin' and if we keep fightin' solo,

he'll always know what's next. We've got to shake it up.

_

Chase!

_

Yeah, but we're burning through uptime!

_

- You alright? - Duck!

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking? - I will in a moment.

We're close.

If we all merge, fightin' five as one, we got him.

- Chase. - I know, I just...

- It's time to let go. - I know!

Look, this is all I got, my mind. Everything else is gone.

You let someone in like this, become one with them,

if I start to merge, what do I become?

Maybe you become a new you.

Over a lifetime, yes, you are supposed to change.

_

You cannot keep clinging to old you.

You can't stay closed off. That's not living.

Changing, evolving, letting in something, someone new,

that's staying alive.

Okay. Okay, I'm ready.

- Oh no. - What is this?

- _ - We're gonna exceed uptime.

- All the mods and us merging... - We have to download now.
