hey what's up guys.
today I'll show you a science fiction series: "Altered Carbon, Season 1, Episode 7"
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
Takeshi is the last interstellar warrior in the world
he has become Laurens' private detective
and enjoyed temporary freedom since Laurens bailed him out of prison
Laurens is a Meth living in the Aerium
Takeshi needs to find out who murdered him
during the investigation, Takeshi gets himself into lots of troubles
even his friend Beauty, a detective from the Bay City Police Department, is implicated
they are kidnapped to Fightdrome to fight with orcs-like creatures
luckily, they are saved by a masked assassin, who kills all men that are attacking them
when the assassin takes off her mask and reveals herself, Takeshi is shocked
this assassin is his younger sister, who died in an explosion hundreds of years ago
Takeshi and his sister were born into an average family
their mother was good to them
while their father was an asshole, who often abused them physically and verbally
the father even killed their mother and dumped the body in a coolant pool to destroy it
once when the father was going to abuse Takeshi's sister
Takeshi sneaked to his father's back and shot his stack in the neck
after that, Takeshi was sent to prison to serve a digital sentence
until one day a man noticed him
the man was the captain of Colonial Tactical Assault Corps (CTAC)
though Takeshi was just a young boy, he saw great potential in him
as long as Takeshi agreed to join the CTAC and serve the Protectorate
he could get an adult sleeve
the captain also promised that his sister would be placed in a good family
where she would have a good life and be treated well
Takeshi was persuaded and agreed to join the CTAC
since then, he has been training in different sleeves
there is also a price to join the CTAC
anyone who knows Takeshi's identity would be in danger
so Takeshi had to leave without saying goodbye to his sister
time flies and decades passed
life in the army is tough
after years of training, Takeshi has become a human killing weapon
one day, he is assigned to Japan to kill a Yakuza Kumicho with his teammates
this Yakuza has committed kidnapping and murder
and he doesn't pay his taxes, which is a big crime in Protectorate
so this guy has to be killed
the mission goes well
it only takes half an hour for the squad to get to the Yakuza
when Takeshi is aiming at the Yakuza and is going to shoot
somebody points a gun behind him and warns him not to move
weirdly, Takeshi doesn't feel scared but excited
because he sees the person behind him is wearing a necklace
that looks the same as the one his mother gave to his sister
Takeshi takes off his helmet and turns around
he recognizes the person who is his missing sister
he didn't expect to meet his sister on this occasion
they are surrounded by CTAC and Yakuza
they need to figure out a way to retreat safely
they can understand each other without verbal communication
Takeshi and his sister start to shoot at everyone at the scene
within minutes they kill all the people there and make enemy with both CTAC and the Yakuza
very soon, the wanted posters of Takeshi and his sister are all over the universe
which means it is impossible for them to continue to live in the city
or immigrate to other planets
at the moment, what they can do is hide in the forest and try to stay alive
something happens on the first day they enter the forest
while they are sleeping at night, a team of armed forces surround them and capture them
Takeshi and his sister thought they were going to die this time
to their surprise, those soldiers are not CTAC, nor do they serve the Protectorate
those soldiers are the rebel army that fights against the Protectorate
they have been living in the forest for a long time
they are called interstellar warriors
they are under the leadership of a woman called Quell
Quell appreciates Takeshi and his sister's ability
she is quite impressed that he and his sister took out the entire squad of Praetorians
and lots of yakuza hitmen
she invites Takeshi and his sister to join her and overthrow the Protectorate
in the beginning, Takeshi joined CTAC with gratitude
he believed that the captain of CTAC would find his sister a good family
however, the captain didn't keep his promise
after Takeshi joined CTAC, he sold his sister to Yakuza and earned a fortune
now Takeshi feels nothing but hatred for CTAC
so he decides to join Quell and becomes an interstellar warrior
they live in caves
but those days of being interstellar warriors are warm for Takeshi and his sister
they study theories and practice fighting skills
they make big progress in a few years and become the best of the warriors
as the army is getting stronger, Quell announces her ultimate plan
she thinks that they can't win a conventional war against the enemy
their real enemy is not the Protectorate but the stack
the creation of stacks was a miracle that enabled people to live forever
however, poor people who can't afford new sleeves would die
only those wealthy and powerful people like Laurens can enjoy immortality
the creation of stacks make poor people even poorer, whose lives become worthless
while rich people possess most of the resources
and it appears a tendency of solidification in class structure
ordinary people are living a more and more miserable life
they will die eventually for not being able to afford a sleeve
in Quell's eyes, death is the ultimate safeguard against the darkest angels of human nature
they need to end the curse of eternal life and bring back real death
so that civilization can survive, and all men can have an equal life
Quell has created a program called Acheron, which can be downloaded into stacks
and everyone's lifespan will be programmed to 100 years
when the time comes, the stack will self explode
no matter how rich and powerful you are, you can't escape death
the development of the program is finished
the problem is they need to download the program into everyone's stack at the same time
no matter how hard the mission is, Quell is determined
she is planning to steal the casting source codes for the Central Core
at the Protectorate garrison
the Central Core is like a computer storing all the data of stacks in the world
as long as they can go to the garrison and spike the Core with Acheron
the program will spread into every stack at the same time
by then, everyone will have the same lifespan
however, it's always easier to say than to do
Takeshi admires and respects Quell when he is listening to her plan
Quell happens to have a good impression on Takeshi
before the mission, Takeshi and Quell take a break at the riverside
during the chat, Takeshi learns the shocking news that Quell is the creator of stacks
she wanted to be an explorer and saw the world with her own eyes
but one life wasn't long enough for her to explore the universe
so she found a way to transfer the human consciousness into a stack
as long as the stack is not damaged, a human can change sleeves and extend the lifespan
although Quell's research succeeded, she is not so happy as she expected
since then, she realized that the creation of stacks could only benefit the Meths
while average people suffer
to correct this, Quell built interstellar warriors
she wants to destroy stacks and put an end to her mistake
time flies by so fast when Quell is telling her story
there is less than 5 hours before the mission of fighting into the Central Core
when Takeshi and Quell are going back to meet everyone at the camp
they see warplanes of Protectorate coming
Takeshi knows something has gone wrong
when he arrives at the camp, he sees that most people are dead
those who are alive are killing each other
it seems that the Protectorate launches a virus attack
they spike virus into the interstellar warriors' stacks remotely
those who are infected have illusions and attack each other
before Takeshi grieves over his teammates' deaths
the captain of CTAC arrives at the camp and clean the battlefield with his soldiers
the remaining interstellar warriors are heavily outnumbered by the Praetorians
this no chance of winning
Takeshi is lost in despair
suddenly, he hears Quell's voice from his headphone
maybe the range of the virus attack is only within the camp
Takeshi was with Quell at the river, and his sister went to find him
that's why they three are not infected
now there are only three interstellar warriors left
as long as they don't give up, there will be hope
Takeshi decides to draw the enemy's attention by shooting
so that Quell and his sister can run to the plane
Quell and Takeshi's sister are flying to the garrison to spike Acheron
if they succeed, interstellar warriors will achieve the final victory
Takeshi's plan works
he gets the captain of CTAC and other soldiers' attention
and wins enough time for Quell and his sister to escape
but he didn't expect that the plane is shot and explodes right after it takes off
exhausted and heart-broken, Takeshi closes his eyes
since then, Takeshi hasn't seen his sister for hundreds of years
he thought his sister died in the explosion
but now a miracle happens
his sister is alive and saves him and Beauty from Fightdrome
when Takeshi is recovering at his sister's home
he finds some freezers in which there are three different sleeves
one of them is the Meth who recommended Takeshi to Laurens
part of the reason why Laurens chose Takeshi to be his detective was because of her
she persuaded Laurens to use an interstellar warrior
because those warriors are capable of everything
the other sleeve is the "ghost" man's boss
who ordered the hitman to bring Takeshi to him alive
those two sleeves demonstrate Takeshi's sister has more power than he realizes
she has several identities of Meths and lives a good life for hundreds of years
but she never forgets her brother
so she uses different identities to give orders to bring Takeshi to her
that's the safest and most effective way she can think of
Takeshi asks her if Quell survived the explosion
she doesn't give a clear answer
the truth is Takeshi's sister detonated the bomb on her on the plane
she can stay alive because she made a copy of her stack before she got onto the plane
her stack was destroyed on the plane
and the backup stack doesn't have the memory of the explosion
that's why she can't answer Takeshi's question
she doesn't know if Quell survived the explosion
though she killed the leader of interstellar warriors
