Josh: Our broadcast is all over the news. Now humans know...

North: It was a mistake to reach out to them. They'll never negotiate with their slaves. We should have shown them that we're prepared to fight.

Maddie: Violence is never the answer. Dialogue is the only way, I'm sure the humans will listen to us. Simon paid with his life...

North: Simon gave his life for our cause.

Josh: What difference does that make?

North: He's a hero! He died for the revolution – and he won't be the last!

Maddie: I don't want a revolution that spills blood!

North: Then live as a slave! Because if you're not willing to fight for your freedom, maybe you don't deserve it!

Josh: North, don't you dare-

Markus: THAT'S ENOUGH!

North: And now... What are we gonna do?

Markus: There are five CyberLife stores across Detroit. All selling us like merchandise. We're going to attack those stores and set our people free.

Josh: Attack stores? We've never done that before... They're probably protected, they have security systems...

Maddie: ...not to mention police...

Markus: We break into five teams, one for each store. We hack their security systems and we strike... simultaneously at 2AM. No violence. We free our people, get them out of there before the police come. This is a night our people will remember.

North: I've been waiting a long time for this... MARKUS! THIS WAY! QUICK! It's okay... They're gone...

Markus: There's probably even more police in the area... We should be careful.

Maddie: The store's over here! That's what we are to them... just merchandise on display in a shop window... Soon they'll know what we really are... Let's get 'em out.

Markus: We'll stick to the plan... We neutralize the alarm systems and secure the area. There's ten minutes until all our teams attack.

North: What are we waiting for? You see the alarm system?

Markus: Found it!

Maddie: Where do we start?

Markus: I identified the security system... I think we'll be able to deactivate it... Just follow me!

Markus: You're awake now. Go to Jericho.

North: Markus! Watch out!

[NORTH slight_increase]

Maddie: Nice job Markus.

Markus: A surveillance drone... We need to get rid of it...

North: It won't be easy to reach...

[NORTH slight_increase]

Maddie: I hope it didn't have time to call the cops...

Markus: We'll soon find out...

North: Shit... They're coming, Markus!

[NORTH slight_increase]

Markus: Take cover!

Tina: You see anything?

Police Officer: No... Where the fuck is that drone?..
