trying to stop him but remy just knocks
her unconscious too before getting down
to business
after putting on some plastic overalls
to protect his uniform and headphones to

home with his wife carol and his son
peter after dropping peter at school he
goes around the city collecting art of
forks and leaving clients to die

employee dressed as a giant long and
stops by a table to have some coffee
making him visible to all the potential
clients waiting to be assisted he
watches how his boss frank mercer helps
one on the salesman convince a family to
sign the papers with a flawless speech
before going to the repo men's break
room
in there he finds raymond pearl
complaining about getting small jobs and
reminding him that he's on probation for
brutally attacking a woman in the subway
frank suddenly interrupts them telling
remy not to stay around the main floor
much because he'll spook the clients
then he takes him to another room to
scan all the artifacts he's collected
during the day as they're joined by jake
fravald remy's best friend he used to
bully him at school but then they went
to war and fought together when the war
was over they accepted a job at the
union because it was perfect for their
skill set and the recruiter told them
they were protecting the health care
system although they really didn't care
about what they were protecting they
just had fun with the missions after
tasting each other for the laugh and
getting called children by frank jake
invites remy to have some drinks which
he accepts but first he's got to stop by
carol's workplace and let her know
carroll scolds him for not having asked
to be transferred to sales and they
insult each other before he leaves in
the car jake tells remy he thinks carol
is trying to control him and that the
two of them will always be repo men but
remy understands his wife's wishes when
they stop by the traffic lights they use
their special scanners on a nearby
civilian and find out he's got an
artiforge in him so they tease him and
remind him what happens if he doesn't
pay when the man runs away in fear they
just laugh
they make it to the bar and share a
couple of beers discussing the
possibility of having to repo someone
they know while remy watches the bar
singer beth with intense attention he
returns to his house a few hours later
and starts playing some music by t-bone
before getting closer to his wife
intending to have intimacy with her but
carol turns him down
so instead remy goes upstairs to check
on his son talk about his day at school
some days later remy is hosting a
barbecue party in his garden when jake
asks him for a favor he has a client
coming in and he wants to repo him there
remy doesn't like the idea at first but
jake convinces him by offering half of
the double commission he's getting out
of it a taxi stops in front of the house
and jake cuts its passenger open right
there in the middle of the street and he
ends up being seen by carol and peter
when they enter the house carol is
furious that his husband has allowed
this so she tells him to choose between
his job and his family before leaving
with their son
remy tells jake he'll have to talk to
frank about it later at night remy and
jake go out to patrol and chat about the
new m5 neural net a new technology used
to connect people with brain damage to
an eternal dream their conversation is
interrupted when jake scanner finds a
nest which is what they call a refuge
for hundreds of customers who have
defaulted on payments and are attempting
to escape the country after retrieving
all their weapons from the car trunk
they go inside and start tasing as many
people as possible at first they go down
easily but eventually they start to
fight back
jake has to deal with two customers by
directly punching them or using a stun
baton and remy finds himself in the
middle of a hand-to-hand fight as well
he stabs all his opponents with a knife
before going to look for jake who is
being overpowered by a guy bigger than
him remy knocks the guy out and ends up
arguing with jake who thinks he didn't
need help the two of them returned to
frank's office a couple of hours later
with all the spoils including two
scanning jammers which are used to avoid
being found by the repo men's scanners
after putting those away frank tells
them he's impressed and offers them the
opportunity to become full-time raid
captains which remy turns down
when he's about to ask for a transfer to
the sales department jay cuts in and
tells frank they're good like this
after work is over jake reminds remy
that rules are important and so it's
enforcing them he drops jake at his
place then goes to take care of what he
wants to be his last repo job jimmy
t-bone a musician he's always admired he
finds t-bone in his house working on
some music and consuming a red powder
and when he mentions he's a fan t-bone
asks him to help him finish the song
before the repoint remy accepts and when
they're done he also promises to take
the track to the record company
afterward remy asks him to lay down on
the floor so he can take his heart first
he needs to stop it by using his d fib
unit but when he puts the paddles on
t-bone's chest the device malfunctions
and remy gets electrocuted knocking him
out for the third time in his life he
wakes up some days later in a hospital
bed with jake and frank in the room with
him
carol had been there too but left before
remy could see her after telling him
this was the fault of a faulty shock
unit they deliver the most important
news remy's heart has been replaced with
an artifact as frank insults him by
dropping his salesman speech remy tells
them he doesn't want the artifact and
gets out of bed leaving the room as he
finally manages to disconnect the
machine in the middle of a hallway and
bleeding all over the place
he's only able to take a couple of steps
after that his body soon gives in and he
falls to the floor realizing he has no
other choice but to accept the
mechanical transplant when he's released
from the hospital the first thing he
does is to go home but he can't get
inside because his wife has changed the
lock carol comes over when he rings the
bell and gives him a suitcase saying he
chose his job over his family when he
took that last case remy goes to stay at
jake's who receives him with drinks and
an offer to hang out with some girls but
remy would rather rest he goes back to
work a few days later and his co-workers
receive him with a little welcome party
that includes a body dancer afterward he
takes up a case again thinking he's
ready he breaks into the client's house
and chokes him after he tries to defend
himself this leaves him unusually tired
and with a high heart rate when the time
comes to take out the artifork he finds
himself with a trembling hand unable to
do it he joins his fellow repo man at a
bar a few hours later and pretends he
finished his job but when he hears jake
tell his story he can't stop thinking
about the client having a family
distressed he leaves the bar early the
next day he waits for carol and peter at
the entrance of their house because this
is the only way he gets to see his son
after hugging him he tries to talk to
carol but her only response is to give
him an envelope with a notice saying
he's behind on his heart payments
later when jake hears about this he
scolds him for lying but accepts the
fact remy needs a break so he tells him
they can work together again in the
future after he feels better remy tries
a sales position but it goes badly
because he's developed sympathy for the
clients and can't lie to them his brutal
honesty doesn't make for good sales he
tries getting some extra money by
betting on horses but he isn't good at
that either when the final notice
arrives in the mail jay takes remy to a
nest and even tastes a couple of people
for him however remy still can't do the
job
angry jake leaves after telling him not
to come back until he's out of his slump
and has enough artifacts to clear his
death remy still can't bring himself to
do it so when the tased man wakes up he
beats him up and leaves him unconscious
for the fourth time
he wakes up sometime later to the sound
of the song he heard the other day at
the bar
he follows it and finds beth looking
very sick so he decides to take her to a
motel and watch over her while her body
goes through detox
when he uses his scanner on her he
discovers she has many artifacts and
they must all be reclaimed
when beth finally wakes up she punches
remy for having helped her when she
mentions it's over for both of them he
says maybe it isn't remy breaks into the
union's building and attempts to clear
his and beth's accounts but he only
manages to do one of her many organs
before he's found by jake who is angry
with him but lets him go when he sees
him return his taser gun
he breaks into his old house next to say
goodbye to peter before returning to the
motel and telling beth they need to
leave
they drive to the abandoned outskirts of
the city and after burning down the car
they hide in an old empty building
meanwhile at the union frank tries to
give jake remy's case but he refuses to
take it and so do the other repo men
days start to pass and remy and beth
build a small home in the old building
by salvaging trash
one night after she tells him all the
details behind her artiforce they kiss
and make love
afterward beth gifts remy a typewriter
she found in the trash
remy begins to use it to write his
memoir
many days later beth hears something
outside with her artifact ears but remy
can't so she connects some headphones to
her head to show him the source of the
noise soon appears entering the building
it's raymond who has accepted remy's
case the couple makes a plan to avoid
getting caught they take their things to
another room that has a huge hole in the
middle of the floor and cover it with a
bed sheet beth hides behind the door and
remy pretends to be writing when raymond
enters the room expressing
disappointment over remy being so easy
to catch after taking out his weapon he
walks farther inside and falls into the
hole
however the floor is now unstable so
when beth comes closer to look at him
she falls as well damaging her
prosthetic knee raymond sees an
opportunity and grabs his gun to taser
so remy improvises and kills him by
dropping the typewriter on his head
after stealing raymond's car remy drives
beth back to the city to get some
supplies but beth shows him she knows
how to fix her own knee using some tools
she's found around when they make it to
the union's parking lot remy sees the
guy that wears the long costume taking a
break and steals it from him to sneak
inside without undetected he goes to see
frank at his office and punches him a
couple of times before threatening him
with a taser he took from raymond he
also gives him a piece of skin with
raymond's tattoo saying he'll do that to
anyone that tries to catch him
remy asked to be taken out of the system
and frank explains the system has
changed after remy's first attempt now
accounts can only be cleaned by taking
the organ to the union central office
frank tries to make him an offer but
remy knocks him out and steals the
scanning jammers before returning to
beth and telling her they're leaving the
country when frank wakes up he orders
jake to repo remy later at the airport
remy and beth managed to bypass the
security checks thanks to the jammers
but they're still taken away when
another passenger notices beth's leg
bleeding
remy throws the jammers in the trash on
their way out while a guard gets ready
to bandage beth's knee two repo men
arrive at the office and scan remy again
getting an alert this time the couple
reacts quickly and gets into a fight
with all the guards defending themselves
with their fists or even using objects
they find lying around like the scissors
beth picks to stab two of the officers
after everyone is taken care of they
leave the office and come across jake
who can't do anything because he's on
the other side of a security panel so
remy picks up beth and takes her out of
the building back in the car the couple
drives to an old building in the city
slums where they meet with asbury a
black market organs dealer beth used
today
after he shares some red powder with
beth and argues with remy about the
morality of their jobs he informs them
he can't help beth because he doesn't
deal with joints anymore so they need to
pay a visit to alva when they go to get
the procedure done they discover there
are actually two of us one is a young
woman that only does anesthesia the
other is a little kid that does the
operation itself
remy is worried about her age and skills
but little alva proves to know her job
after beth wakes up some hours later
they go back to asbury's place only to
find he's been repo'd jake appears then
and tries to get remy to come back with
him but remy turns him down saying he
hasn't been the same since the accident
jay confesses it wasn't an actual
accident he had rigged the defibrillator
unit so remy would build up debt and
wouldn't transfer to sales the two men
start fighting hand to hand and while at
first it looks like they're on the same
level eventually jake overpowers remy
and throws him through a wall
he throws remy around until he is
dropped on a metal bridge remy starts
laughing and takes out a knife that he
uses to stab jake in the leg before jake
retaliates by knocking him out after
various memories flash before his eyes
remy is woken up by beth who had tased
jake and now tells him they need to run
because a repo raid has arrived
they run through the building as
hundreds of debtors start getting shot
and when they get stuck at a dead end
they're rescued by rhodesia the leader
of an underground residence that drags
them into a hidden room when she sees
remy's tattoo she threatens to shoot him
but he earns his stay when he shows her
the scar on his chest
nightmares don't let remy sleep so he
goes out to check the damage seeing all
the fallen bodies in the building
including elvis the next day he tells
beth there's no way out for anyone no
matter where they hide so what he wants
to do is to finish this by going to
headquarters and wiping the entire
system
some hours later they meet with carol
and peter on the train and an argument
with carol soon starts peter takes his
dad's taser and knocks her out before
remy hands him his manuscript and tells
him to look for him in puna del est when
he is old enough
remy and beth wait for frank in his car
and tase him before stealing his vehicle
which they use to return to the union's
headquarters remy tases two of the
security guards and shoots the third one
then uses frank's eye to open the door
and get inside after shooting the
security camera he and beth rush inside
and while trying to avoid getting caught
end up entering a lab filled with
scientists working on artifacts
most of them pay no attention to the
couple but there's one that just get up
and leave through a door remy tries to
talk to him but the guards arrive then
and start shooting indiscriminately
killing some scientists in the process
remy and beth lee through the same door
the other guy used and find the hallway
with the entrance to the union's
database but it's being protected by
guards and repo men a frantic battle
starts then beth defends herself by
using a fire axe she gets from the wall
and remy shoots the security guards with
his gun which he drops after he's done
to grab his knives instead in order to
fight the repo men hand to hand he kills
most of them easily but when he finds
himself on the floor surrounded by them
he asks beth to pass him the hacksaw and
uses it to finish the remaining men
afterward they use beth's prosthetic eye
to open the door to the database room
and close it just in time before frank
and jake arrive
they discover the server's only
interface is an organ scanner so the
only thing they can do is start cutting
themselves up and scan their artifacts
from inside after taking some of the red
powder they start the procedure first
doing remy's heart and after sealing his
wound they do each of beth's prosthetics
as well by the time jake and frank
manage to get inside by using an
artifact from one of the dead repo men
remy is scanning the last of beth's
organs frank orders jake to finish them
but when remy says bets worth every job
he's ever done jake decides to help
he kills frank with his knife and hands
remia syringe so she can bring beth back
to consciousness and when the system
asks for the scan artifacts to be put on
the computer's tray jake puts two
grenades in it and blows up the whole
database
now every client is free
sometime later remy beth and jake are in
puna del este enjoying the beach while
listening to t-bone's last song
jake's gotten his tattoo removed and his
memoir has been published by peter under
the name the repossession mambo when
jake starts teasing remy for his book he
suddenly disappears and the sea flickers
with static before going back to normal
it is revealed then that remy is in a
coma and he never woke up from the hit
jake gave him on the metal bridge at
asbury's place it was jake that used the
artifacts from that raid to pay for
remy's heart and a connection to the
neural network he said his goodbye to
him before taking care of beth and
finding remy's manuscript in his bag
now remy will be happy in his dreams
forever
