Transcript
00:00To be continued...
00:30I'll listen to it later.
00:31Oh, sure. See ya.
00:42Hey, Shepard. I was on my way to a new life when the new burst arrived.
00:46The bitch is dead.
00:47I assume that means your friend is alive and he finished his job.
00:50Tell him if I ever see him, I'll buy him a drink.
01:00The scandal rock story of Nassana Dantius has come to a tragic end, as the businesswoman was killed in her arms.
01:21We have no formal suspects.
01:24For example, you know that new drug, the one that causes permanent neural scarring?
01:28That's horrible.
01:29There's a 12-page contract for shipping, then a waiver for use.
01:33I charge for 50 hours.
01:35Still can't believe you have a Justicara in your service.
01:38She's the last of a dying breed.
01:43Won't be many pure-blood Asari left in a few generations.
01:46I feel kind of sad for her.
01:50Don't.
01:51I heard she married an Asari herself.
01:53Had pure-blood kids.
01:54She's part of the problem.
01:56Okay, listen.
02:03Give Fax a full refund.
02:05Do you hear me?
02:06He knows.
02:07I don't know how.
02:08It doesn't matter.
02:08Credit him a full refund now.
02:10And then get your ass someplace safe.
02:13Leave me alone.
02:14I can't talk to anybody.
02:15I can't talk to anybody.
02:26Eclipse might be fun for you.
02:34For me, it's the future.
02:35My clan's breeding strategy is at stake.
02:48Don't Salarians think about anything besides breeding?
02:51What about a fish?
02:52She loves the garden.
02:53We could add a pond.
02:56She doesn't need a fish, Dad.
03:02Maybe a shirt.
03:04Or a car.
03:05You're sure gateway weapons and armor are good enough for Eclipse?
03:08Yeah, I've got a friend in Eclipse.
03:10She told me what I needed to get.
03:12Good.
03:13I'm pretty good at bypassing firewalls.
03:14Maybe they're looking for techs.
03:16You can sell something that dangerous with just a contract and a waiver?
03:27These are the Terminus system.
03:29Everything's dangerous.
03:30But is that gate open too wide?
03:32Investment think tanks are noting concerns that new technological discovery may upset the market balance and cost skilled workers their jobs.
03:40Later today, we'll hear from survey teams talking about the latest technology you won't be able to live without and how much it will cost.
03:48All right.
04:04Let's do it.
04:05This is a recall notice.
04:09All users of KOROS brand medical radiation systems are asked to discontinue treatment.
04:14We'll figure something out.
04:28Stop looking.
04:29It's okay.
04:29I'll think of something.
04:31You said synthetic insights would buy me.
04:33You said it was an easy sale.
04:35I assume they would want an AI tech.
04:38Hello.
04:39Can I help you with something?
04:41Have you made this quarry in your slave?
04:42We prefer the term indentured servants.
04:46Before you do anything hasty, know that this quarry signed the agreement voluntarily and her servitude contract is completely legal on Ilium.
04:53If you actually want to help the quarry and convince the synthetic insights representative to purchase her contract.
05:01Why did this quarry sign herself into slavery?
05:04I tried to play the stock market.
05:06I'm good with numbers and I thought I had a way to make unlimited money.
05:10I lost everything.
05:11Then I got a credit line and lost that.
05:14Then I took out an illegal loan.
05:17I get the picture.
05:18As part of our agreement, I paid off her debts.
05:20Five years from now, she'll have a fresh start and excellent work references.
05:24Sounds great.
05:25Unless you lose her paperwork or come up with a reason to hold her longer.
05:29All contracts are monitored by Ilium Law Enforcement.
05:33In a case such as you described, the burden of proof would be on me.
05:36No system is perfect, but safeguards are set up to protect all parties.
05:41If slavery is legal, then why are you trying to sell the quarry in?
05:47I don't keep service contracts myself.
05:49I'm a contract broker.
05:51I assumed synthetic insights would jump at the chance for a skilled AI tech, but they won't even make me an offer.
05:56So slavery is legal on Ilium?
06:02Indentured servitude lasts a set amount of time or until agreed upon conditions are met.
06:07Ilium must approve all contracts.
06:09The law limits what restraint or corrective options I can use and what tasks I can legally assign her.
06:16I'm also legally responsible for her behavior and health.
06:19Abuse is absolutely forbidden.
06:23I'll talk to the synthetic insights rep and see what I can do.
06:26Really?
06:28I'd appreciate that.
06:29I'd appreciate that.
06:39So then he says, oh, it's okay.
06:44Our amino acids are all different, so it's not like we can get seizures right if we go natural.
06:51Can I help you with something?
06:53How would you like to get your hands on an expert quarry and AI programmer?
06:57If you'd like to submit a resume, I...
07:00Wait.
07:01Is this that slave?
07:03Synthetic insights has no interest in purchasing slave labor.
07:05We're under enough scrutiny from the Citadel without engaging in practices the Council disapproves of.
07:11To be frank, we're hardly hiring anyone.
07:13The geth attack on the Citadel didn't engender much love for artificial intelligence.
07:17It sounds like synthetic insights is worried about its reputation.
07:21Hiring this quarry would help.
07:23Buying a slave helps our reputation.
07:25How exactly do you figure?
07:27Purchase the contract, minus the fee for early emancipation.
07:31Then free the quarry and garnish wages for reimbursement.
07:34Interesting.
07:34We look good for hiring a quarry and we can say that we freed slaves out of the goodness of our hearts.
07:40All right.
07:41I'll run up a contract.
07:42The board might wet its pants, but we could use the good publicity.
07:46This quarry and had better be good, though.
07:47Synthetic insights just sent over the contract.
08:07I cannot thank you enough.
08:09I'm happy to help.
08:11Here, for your trouble.
08:13Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get this service contract transferred.
08:17I'll stay out of trouble this time.
08:39Let's go.
08:40Let's go.
08:40Let's go.
08:41Now, let's go.
08:42Let's go.
08:42Good.
08:43Let's go.
08:45There's a variety in your care.
08:45Now, let's go.
08:46Now, let's go.
08:47Let's go.
08:48Oh, let's go.
08:49Let's go.
08:52Let's go.
08:53I don't know.
09:23I don't know.
09:53I don't know.
10:23Shepard, did you get any information on the observer?
10:33Shepard, did you get any information on the observer?
10:45All five of the suspects are male.
10:47The observer is female.
10:49Something's not right.
10:50Who gave you this lead?
10:51My assistant, Nixaris.
10:53She got the information.
10:55Nixaris gave me the information.
10:59Nixaris, could I see you in here for a moment?
11:03Shepard, I'll talk to you later.
11:04I'm looking for the best tank upgrade you have.
11:09I'm looking for the best tank upgrade you have.
11:34I'm calling her.
11:34Oh, come on.
11:35Of course.
11:36I can help you.
11:37Come on.
11:38Shepard, it's good to see you again.
11:49Nixaris had some interesting data hidden away.
11:53Thank you, Shepard.
11:56I wouldn't have caught her without you.
11:58I'm one step closer to the Shadow Broker thanks to you.
12:02Here.
12:03Nixaris was very well compensated.
12:05You need it more than I do.
12:07What's the next step in your hunt?
12:09Now I gather information, peel away layers of lies, and shine light into the shadows.
12:15And when I find the Shadow Broker, I hit him with a biotic field so strong that what's
12:20left of his body will fit into a coffee cup.
12:25Is there anything else you need from me?
12:28No.
12:29You've done enough.
12:31If I find anything useful, I'll let you know.
12:34For now, I need to do what I do.
12:36No.
12:37Is there anything else I can help you with?
12:42I'll talk to you later, Liara.
13:06Ilium sees many human refugees, Terminus orphans, and former slaves abandoned by the Tyrion Raiders.
13:23Remitting the adjustment is difficult, but one man, Conrad Berner, wanted to help.
13:29Berner and Berner.
13:31You should try it my way.
13:32Look at how the wind's blowing.
13:34Well, I guess it's not like I attacked him.
13:38...
13:54...
13:55...
13:55Let's go.
14:25Let's go.
14:55Let's go.
15:25Let's go.
15:55Let's go.
16:25Let's go.
16:55Let's go.
17:25Let's go.
17:55What were these people doing here?
18:09I don't think anyone else is here.
18:37Let's go.
19:07There must be a way in.
19:19We've done it.
19:43We've done it.
19:45We've done it.
19:47We've done it.
19:49We've done it.
19:51We've done it.
19:53We've done it.
19:55We've done it.
19:59We've done it.
20:01We've done it.
20:03We've done it.
20:05We've done it.
20:09We've done it.
20:11We've done it.
20:13We've done it.
20:15We've done it.
20:17We've done it.
20:19We've done it.
20:23We've done it.
