EXT. NIGHT CITY - DAY
"CYBERPUNK 2077" presents a glimpse into the future, where the city of NIGHT CITY stands as a monument to human progress and its flaws. The city is a FUTURISTIC MEGACITY, teeming with TOWERING SKYSCRAPERS, NEON LIGHTS, and pervasive technologies. Drones cross the airspace, and the streets are populated by both humans and androids. PROMINENT CORPORATIONS loom over the city, symbolizing the structures of power and control. The overall atmosphere blends technological advancement and social inequality.
A panoramic view reveals the full scope of this FUTURISTIC MEGACITY cityscape. Tall, GLEAMING SKYSCRAPERS adorned with NEON SIGNS and holographic displays dominate the skyline. Flying cars zip through the air, while HOLOGRAMS and digital advertisements saturate the urban landscape. Crowds of people, some with visible cybernetic implants, hurry about their business, creating a sense of a bustling, technologically-advanced society.
The city is densely packed with HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS, neon, and deeply integrated technologies. The airspace is crossed by a constant flow of drones, while the streets teem with a diverse population of humans and androids. This densely populated metropolis is a testament to humanity's technological prowess, but also highlights the stark contrasts and inequalities that exist within it. The DOMINANT CORPORATE PRESENCE embodies the power structures that shape this world, wielding control over the city's technologies, information, and resources.

INT. CORPORATE TOWERS - DAY
In contrast to the poorer districts, the camera reveals the LUXURIOUS INTERIORS of major corporate headquarters. These GLEAMING GLASS SKYSCRAPERS, adorned with EXPENSIVE FURNISHINGS and holographic displays, create an atmosphere of POWER, CONTROL, and technological superiority. The OPULENT LOBBIES and EXECUTIVE OFFICES of these corporate towers stand in stark juxtaposition to the gritty, dilapidated neighborhoods that surround them. Corporations play a KEY ROLE in defining NIGHT CITY'S hierarchy, controlling technologies, information, and power. Cyber-implants allow people to enhance their abilities, creating new social divisions. Virtual reality offers temporary refuge from the harsh realities of the outside world.

INT. UNDERGROUND CLUBS, NIGHT CITY - NIGHT
The camera delves into the DARK, WINDING ALLEYS of illegal clubs and dens. An atmosphere of DANGER, CRIME, and secret deals pervades. People with cyber-implants, DRUGS, and WEAPONS create a sense of the city's GRIM UNDERGROUND. Beneath the CORPORATE TOWERS lies another world, a SHADOWY REALM of underground syndicates and street gangs, where MYSTERIOUS DEALERS and MERCENARIES fight for POWER, INFORMATION, and TERRITORY, using cybernetics as TOOLS of their trade.

INT. SLUMS, NIGHT CITY - DAY
The camera immerses itself in the POORER DISTRICTS, where DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS coexist with high-tech insertions. The people appear WEARY and ALIENATED, their surroundings marked by TRASH, GRAFFITI, and non-functioning HOLOGRAMS, creating an OPPRESSIVE ATMOSPHERE. "CYBERPUNK 2077" tells a story of the future where technology and human nature collide, crafting a world that is both ALLURING and REPULSIVE. COMPLEX MORAL DILEMMAS, questions of IDENTITY and HUMANITY intertwine with cybernetic enhancements, creating a UNIQUE and MULTIFACETED world explored through the main characters' adventures. At the heart lies the search for MEANING in a world where the BOUNDARIES between man and machine blur.

The camera sweeps over the futuristic skyline of NIGHT CITY as the NARRATOR's voice is heard:
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Good morning, Night City!
The camera dives down, revealing the stark contrasts of the city - gleaming corporate towers juxtaposed with the gritty, dilapidated neighborhoods below.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Yesterday's body-count lottery rounded out to a solid 'n' sturdy thirty!
We see flashes of violence - gang members, police raids, Trauma Team medics responding to incidents.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Ten outta Heywood - thanks to unabated gang wars! 
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
One officer down, so I guess you're all screwed. 
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
'Cause the NCPD will NOT let that go.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Got another blackout in Santo Domingo.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Netrunners are at it again, pokin' holes in the power grid.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
While over in Westbrook, Trauma Team's scrapin' cyberpsycho victims off the pavement.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
And in Pacifica... 
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Well...
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Pacifica is still Pacifica.
The NARRATOR signs off:
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)
This has been your man, Stan. 
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT'D)

INT. ARASAKA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS - RESTROOM - DAY
V, a mercenary with a troubled past, stands hunched over a sink in the corporate restroom. He suddenly lurches forward, VOMITING violently.
He's PHONE RINGS. He answers it, his voice strained.
JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
V, you there?
V (VINCENT)
clearing his throat
Ah, yeah... ahem, yeah, I'm here.
JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
You all right?
V (VINCENT)
wincing
Khe, fine, ahem. Just... needed a breather.
JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
Er, sounded like you blew your gut's airlock...
V (VINCENT)
frustrated
Yeah, I barfed. It's just stress.

JACKIE (V.O.)
Agh, esa chamba te va a matar.
JACKIE (V.O.)
Job's gonna kill you.

V (VINCENT)
We had a leak. My boss called, dragged me in because we had to intervene. Everyone at Night City HQ is on edge.
JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
But no way you're fucked, right? Hey, you're the one who fixes other people's shit.
V (VINCENT)
Jackie, if you work in Arasaka counterintel, you're always fucked.
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
Listen, gotta go. Work won't do itself.

JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
Bueno suerte.
JACKIE WELLES (V.O.)
G'luck.

He hangs up the phone, takes one last look in the mirror, steeling himself, then exits the restroom.

EXT. ARASAKA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS - LOBBY - DAY
V exits the restroom and steps out into the VAST, OPULENT LOBBY of the Arasaka Tower. The space is filled with CORPORATE EMPLOYEES, SECURITY PERSONNEL, and high-tech displays.
The lobby is a grand, imposing area, with TOWERING CEILINGS, GLEAMING MARBLE floors, and HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS adorning the walls. It exudes an atmosphere of POWER, WEALTH, and CORPORATE CONTROL. V approaches the elevators, his phone RINGING. He answers it, his voice tense.
JENKINS (OVER PHONE)
Christ, V, you were supposed to be here an hour ago!
He steps into the waiting elevator as he responds.
V (VINCENT) (OVER PHONE)
Got held up, but I'll be right there.
JENKINS (OVER PHONE)
Fucking Frankfurt... That Abernathy bitch'll probably dump it in our laps.
OVER PHONE
Agh... Hanging up. I'll be in my
office.
OVER PHONE
And you hurry up.

EXT. ARASAKA TOWER: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE DIVISION - DAY
V hangs up the phone as the elevator doors close behind him, then exits the elevator and approaches the RECEPTIONIST desk in the lobby.

RECEPTIONIST 
Mr. Jenkins asked for you. He's in his office.
He heads towards Jenkins' office.
He approaches the door to the inner sanctum, where an AI SECURITY SYSTEM scans him, verifying his access.
AI
Please enter the antechamber.
He sees the process display in his HUD: SCANNING...
AI (CONT'D)
System security confirmed.
AI (CONT'D)
Visitor authorization granted.
The doors slide open, and V enters the antechamber as the RECEPTIONIST watches him disappear behind the secured doors.

INT. ARASAKA TOWER: JENKINS' OFFICE - DAY
V enters Jenkins' office, where ARTHUR JENKINS, a senior counterintelligence officer at Arasaka, is on the phone.
JENKINS
Are you online?
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Have a seat, V. Be right with you.
He sits Jenkins turns his attention to a holographic display.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Have to handle this voting issue before we lose our bases in the Sea of Clouds.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
They're about to begin. What's the situation?
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Mhh...
Jenkins nods, contemplating, then leans forward.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Mhm... Yeah, just as we thought.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
You know what to do. Start now.
Jenkins pauses, listening to the person on the other end of the line.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
ON THE PHONE, hesitantly
Director Abernathy.
ABERNATHY (V.O.)
ON THE PHONE
I watched the vote. What the hell was that?
JENKINS
ON THE PHONE
A deep clean. After the shit Frankfurt dumped on us.
ON THE PHONE
As we agreed - I got rid of the problem.
ABERNATHY (V.O.)
ON THE PHONE
I told you to resolve the problem, not massacre the European Space Council. Do you understand what the cover-up will cost?
JENKINS
ON THE PHONE
We would've lost the license, now we gained a week. That's a win.
ABERNATHY (V.O.)
ON THE PHONE
Path of least resistance, always. No nuance. Has you written all over it.
ON THE PHONE
We're not done talking about this.
The call then ends, with Abernathy cutting off the connection.
JENKINS
muttering
I hate that bitch. I always have.
V (VINCENT)
"Always," meaning how long?
JENKINS
Before Night City we worked on an assignment in Osaka. Two years of subterfuge. She spent them digging a trap for me.
V stands up from the chair as Jenkins slowly walks over to a small side table and pours himself a glass of bourbon.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
When she became Director of Spec Ops, that's when she finally shoved me in it.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Now she's holding a gun to my head to make sure I don't try anything.
Jenkins takes a drink from the glass.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
But she won't pull the trigger because she needs me. I do what she doesn't have the guts to do.
V (VINCENT)
Divide and conquer. Effective strategy.
JENKINS
Pff, "effective"...
JENKINS (CONT'D)
What would you do in my position?
V (VINCENT)
Honestly?
JENKINS
Please.
V (VINCENT)
There's not much you can do. She's got the Night City board on her side. If she wants you out, well... you understand.
JENKINS
I do.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Seems we see eye to eye on this issue.
Jenkins reaches into his desk and pulls out a datashard.
JENKINS
Take this.
V (VINCENT)
A datashard?
JENKINS
Proof of my trust.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Go on, take it.
V takes the datashard.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
It's what I've collected over the past weeks.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Biometrics, Trauma Team card, names of her closest associates - driver, chief of security, lover, lover's husband. Everything.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Use it. And make sure Abernathy won't be a problem anymore.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Said it yourself - she's left me no choice.
V (VINCENT)
What'll happen if I refuse?
JENKINS
Don't ask stupid questions.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
This isn't a request, V.
Jenkins pulls out a stack of cash and he takes it.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Use this money only, find the right people for the job - no corporate affiliation.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
And for the core task... use someone you know inside out. 
JENKINS (CONT'D)
Are we clear?
V (VINCENT)
Yeah, I think we're clear.
JENKINS
Good...
JENKINS (CONT'D)
In that case, I'll await your report. And good luck with it.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
I have my AV waiting outside. It's yours to use.
JENKINS (CONT'D)
And don't disappoint me.

EXT. ARASAKA TOWER: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE DIVISION - DAY
V exits the office, a troubled look on his face. As he walks down the hallway, lost in thought. CARTER SMITH, a junior counterintelligence officer, hurries to catch up to him.
CARTER
approaching V
V, I have those reports you asked for...
V (VINCENT)
sternly
They were supposed to be ready yesterday.
CARTER
I-I know... But I-I have them now.
V (VINCENT)
Send them to my inbox. And you and I will have a word about this later.
He turns and continues down the hallway. V's phone RINGS. He answers it.
JACKIE (V.O.)
Hey, V - you alive? How's things in the viper pit?
V (VINCENT)
Need your help, Jack. Got some biz.
JACKIE (V.O.)
Ugh, always biz with you, mano.
JACKIE (V.O.)
You in some trouble?
V (VINCENT)
Not yet. Right now I just need a soul I can trust.
JACKIE (V.O.)
That kinda sounded like a "yes." Meet me at Lizzie's. Be there in an hour.
V (VINCENT)
Got it. I'll be there.
He hangs up the phone and heads towards the exit. As he's walking, he passes by his own office, where HARRY, another Arasaka counterintelligence officer calls out to him.
HARRY
V, got a minute?
V (VINCENT)
Can it wait? I'm meeting someone.
HARRY
It's important!

INT. OFFICE, ARASAKA TOWER - DAY
V steps into the office, where HARRY is already seated at the desk, a holographic display activated in front of him.
HARRY (CONT'D)
I need your stamp on something. It's possible one of our assets was exposed.
V (VINCENT)
Is it Frankfurt again?
HARRY
No, different issue, local.
V (VINCENT)
Tell me, quick version.
He moves closer to the desk, his eyes scanning the data displayed on the holographic interface.
HARRY
Our agent at Biotechnica suspects they might be onto him.
HARRY (CONT'D)
They recently granted him red security clearance - that's top. He's been fishin' for dirt, but it's been slow.
Harry continues to navigate the holographic interface, highlighting certain details for V.
V (VINCENT)
Your point?
HARRY
They're clean. Like, we-run-orphanages clean, bleached-server clean. We suspect they flagged him and are feeding him phony data.
Harry pulls up more files on the display, pointing out specific anomalies in the data.
HARRY (CONT'D)
Should we greenlight exfil or let him keep looking?
V (VINCENT)
Projected risks?
V studies the information carefully, his brow furrowed in concentration. He then turns to the computer monitor situated on the corner of Harry's desk, watching as Harry quickly types in a few commands to cross-reference the data.
HARRY
Limited threat to life. Not Biotechnica's style. Blackmail's possible, leveraged against false accusations in the media.

HARRY (CONT'D)
The guy has kids, he'd crack.
He then turns his attention back to the holographic display, gesturing to the information.
V (VINCENT)
Pull him out. But calmly, don't raise any eyebrows. Otherwise they'll catch on.
HARRY
Jenkins will be livid.
V (VINCENT)
I'll handle Jenkins.
HARRY
Understood.
He turns to leave the office.

V approaches a sleek, high-tech AERIAL VEHICLE (AV) parked in the hangar.
AI

Destination - Lizzie's Bar.
AI
Noted, en route.
The AV's engines power up, and it lifts off, smoothly exiting the hangar.
                                                     CUT TO:

V takes a seat across from Jackie.
V (VINCENT)
It's good to see you, too, Jack. How ya been?
JACKIE
Got sparks flyin' between the Valentino boys and Maelstrom. Eddies there for the takin'…as long as ya don't get flatlined.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Eh, you know how it is, can't complain, but... we ain't here to shoot the shit about me.
JACKIE (CONT'D)

Jackie, before I start... this stays between us.

JACKIE
Por supuesto.
JACKIE
Of course.

V (VINCENT)
I'm serious... This thing, it... it could ruin me.
JACKIE
So could I. You do realize who you're talkin' to, right? A guy who's done this before.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Remember what happened in México, at the border? I peep one word...
V (VINCENT)
I know, you saved my ass. If word about the cartels had gotten out...
JACKIE
But it didn't, and this won't either. It's why you came to see dear old Jackie.
V (VINCENT)
Datashard - take it.
V hands Jackie the datashard.
JACKIE
Mhm. Mhm…
V (VINCENT)
Whaddaya think?
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Won't come cheap. And it have to be done on the sly - no trail, hard eddies only.
V
Got the money.
JACKIE
Full-crew job, for sure... A techie, maybe two... a runner with a gold-plated brain... an' a driver with wheels from hell...
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Not to mention - a solo.
V (VINCENT)
Mhm. The piece I'm missing.
JACKIE
That what you need from me? My trigger finger to zero this lady?
V (VINCENT)
Thought I could always count on you, Jack...
JACKIE
Hagh, you know me, I'm not all sunshine and rainbows, but... this job ain't my style.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Actually, I didn't think it was yours, either.
V
You know how Arasaka operates... Or, OK, maybe you don't.
V (VINCENT)
This isn't a professional request I can refuse.
JACKIE
But I can. And I am. And you should, too.
The waitress brings over two drinks - double tequila with grenadine and lime.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Now, whaddaya say we liquor up and talk life.

JACKIE (CONT'D)

JACKIE (CONT'D)
Thanks, babe.

JACKIE (CONT'D)
Double tequila with grenadine and lime. Nothin' better for drownin nerves.
V raises his glass.

V (VINCENT)
To this.
JACKIE
Was that a toast? The hell does that even mean?
JACKIE (CONT'D)
You raise a glass to your mamá, your hermana. To the mamacita you'll meet at the bar. But "this" - doesn't say a damn thing.

Sheesh, "To this."
JACKIE (CONT'D)

JACKIE (CONT'D)
Un pacto con el diablo. Been sayin' it all along. Sold your soul to those Arasaka fuckers.
JACKIE (CONT'D)

V (VINCENT)
Those're the rules, Jack. You wanna be top, y'gotta have some skin in the game.
JACKIE
Yeah, but you're not on top - Saburo Arasaka is. And you're the pendejo who keeps him there.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Work for yourself, live for yourself. That's the only way.
V (VINCENT)
Maybe someday. But for now, I'm still well within their reach.
JACKIE

Suddenly, three Arasaka agents approach the table.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Hey, you lost? Got a problem?
ARASAKA AGENT
V. Is that right?
The Arasaka agent frowned.
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
Are you testing my patience?!
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
I'm talking to you!
V (VINCENT)
You're from Arasaka HQ. Er, is there a problem? Are you here about Frankfurt?
ARASAKA GUARD #3
We're here for you.
ARASAKA AGENT
Jenkins assigned you a task today. You'll share all the details with us.
V (VINCENT)
Name and department, again? Didn't quite catch it first time around.
The Arasaka agent simply stares intently at V, his eyes locking onto V's. Suddenly, V freezes, his expression contorting in pain as the agent exerts control over him through some kind of cybernetic interface.
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
Gah, fuck…
V winces in agony as the agent maintains the mental grip through their locked gaze.
ARASAKA AGENT
How you feelin'? Pretty sharp dive, huh?
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
Your access to company networks is hereby revoked.
The agent keeps his eyes fixed on V, maintaining the painful mental control.
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
In two minutes, any company cybernetics in your possession will cease functioning.
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
Give us the data you received from Jenkins. 
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
This will conclude termination procedures.
V (VINCENT)
Hgh, how the hell did you find out?
ARASAKA AGENT
That is not your concern.
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
The data. Now.
V (VINCENT)
Information's on the shard.
ARASAKA AGENT 
Smart choice.
V (VINCENT)
We done?
ARASAKA AGENT
With the formalities, yes. But I think Abernathy would gladly up our fee for ridding her of piece of rot like you.
ARASAKA AGENT (CONT'D)
Stand up, you're comin' with us.
ARASAKA GUARD #1
Come on, move it.

JACKIE
Vaya, esperen.

Is that a threat?
JACKIE
Well, you start shootin', maybe we join in, huh? Before you know it, somebody might die today.
ARASAKA AGENT
We have what we came for. It'll do for now.
The Arasaka agents leave with the datashard. Jackie rushes over to V, who is struggling.
JACKIE 
Phew, dodged one there. Hijo de la chingada...
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
V, how you feel? You all right?
V (VINCENT)
Like, ugh... Like shit...
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
My throat's like sandpaper... N-not sure I can breathe...
JACKIE

Ye-yeah... Sounds about right...
JACKIE
Hey, hey, should I get you to a ripper?
JACKIE (CONT'D)

V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
Just lost control of my life, completely...
JACKIE
I'd say you got it back.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
You couldn't say "no" to 'em,                so they said it to you. This is a turn for the better, you'll see.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
'Sides, ya haven't lost everything.
V (VINCENT)
About to say I--I still have a friend? That's sweet.
JACKIE
Haha, no... dumbass. 
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Y'still got that wad for the hit job, don'tcha?
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Probably some fat-ass chunk o' cha-ching. 
JACKIE (CONT'D)
That's right, fool. Buckle up.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Ey, you hearin' all right? Don't look so hot.
V suddenly begins to gasp for air, his face contorting in pain.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
V…! V!
He sways, barely keeping his footing, and falls back, bracing himself against the table.
Jackie rushes to V, trying to support him. He is breathing heavily, his eyes closing, but he remains conscious, struggling against the encroaching darkness.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Hey, hermano. Your new life... it starts now.
                                         SMASH CUT TO BLACK.
The scene abruptly transitions to the voice of the narrator, STANLEY, who takes over the storytelling.                                              
                                                     CUT TO:
EXT. NIGHT CITY – DAY
STANLEY (V.O.)
Helloooo there, Night Cityyy!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Stanley here with ya, and we got another day ahead of us in this city of dreams.
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Oo, I love this town! Love it like you might love a mother who popped you out on the steps of an orphanage once and now stops you to ask if you got a smoke for her!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Every new day here means a hundred new arrivals! But only half these gonks'll survive a year. And that's if it's a good one!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
And why do these peeps come to NC? Well, to be street samurai like Morgan Blackhand and Weyland Boa Boa! The greater the risk, the bigger the bounty, kids. Or so they say...
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
But you can only be a major league player for so long. The faster you live, the faster you burn out - if you don't get a bullet to the brain first!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
NC's legends! Know where you'll find most of 'em?!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
The graveyard.
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Matters not where you're from, matters not where you start.
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
What matters here is the walk you walk.
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
In Night City!
STANLEY (V.O.) (CONT'D)
The City of Dreams!
                                                     CUT TO:
EXT. JAPANTOWN - HALF A YEAR LATER - DAY
V and Jackie exit their car and approach a high-rise building.
JACKIE
Chick we're looking for's somewhere in this building.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Probably crawlin' with the pendejos that kidnapped her. Eyes and ears open, all right?
V (VINCENT)
Let's do this.
They enter the building and head towards the elevator.
                                                     CUT TO:
INT. ELEVATOR - CONTINUOUS
As the elevator ascends, V's phone RINGS. It's T-Bug.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Target's Sandra Dorsett. Target's biomon went mute a couple hours back. Suspected abduction.
OVER PHONE
Target could've possibly flatlined already. Not sure you're in time.
JACKIE
We're in time, Bug - we. Sure, you're on 'phones, but... that don't make you any less a part of this squad.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
"Squad." Charming.
V (VINCENT)
Calm the hell down, both of you. Almost there.
JACKIE
Yeah, Bug. You focus.
The elevator doors open, and V and Jackie step out into the hallway.
                                                     CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - CONTINUOUS
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Lookin' for twelve thirty-seven.
OVER PHONE
Target should be inside, but I got zero eyes on her biomon.
OVER PHONE
Fingers crossed it's not too late. Ugh, hate this life or death shit. Hurry.
OVER PHONE
Try hackin' the door. 
OVER PHONE
Think you can trip it on your own, V?
V (VINCENT) 
I think so.
V hacks the door and they enter the apartment.
                                                     CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS
JACKIE
Low profile!

JACKIE (CONT'D)
Grr, are we fuckin' late?! Is that her, IS that our target, V?!
V scans the body of a woman on the floor.
V (VINCENT)
Sandra Dorsett's protected under echelon Il corpo immunity. Our girl's top shelf...
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
Grr, are we fuckin' late?! Is that her, IS that our target, V?!
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)
Not our lucky gal. Let's keep lookin'.
V opens a door to the next room.
JACKIE 
V, mira, eyes up, pendejos ahead.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Drop him quiet, V.
V takes out the thug quietly and hides the body.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
On your toes. More bodies incoming, they're almost on you.
JACKIE
Fistfuck these reapers.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Oye, V! They're comin'!
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
Wait for your chance. Pick the prick off. 
They engage in a firefight with the incoming thugs.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Scavs're still crawlin. Clean it up. Clean it out.
OVER PHONE
Don't wanna be bringin' the target out under fire. And definitely don't want a slug in your back.
V (VINCENT) 
No way, not neither.
JACKIE
We outta options, here! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ             
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
Bug, you got eyes on this shithole? Anything?!
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Room he's in looks out on the balcony.
OVER PHONE
Got a window on the left. Gimme two secs to grease the lock.
JACKIE
Mano, get his attention! I'll do the rest!
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Hack on the door's just cleared. Watch yourselves.
OVER PHONE
Don't see any movement on the sensors. Looks like you got 'im. You're clear to go.
V and Jackie search the apartment and find Sandra Dorsett unconscious in the bathtub.
V (VINCENT) 
Shit, where the hell's our target?!
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Look around, gotta be there somewhere.
V finds Sandra Dorsett in the bathtub with another person, both partially undressed and unconscious in cold water with ice cubes.
V (VINCENT)
Jesus fuckin' Christ....
V (VINCENT)
Think I got her. Got our target.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
We make it? She alive?

V (VINCENT) 
About to find out.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
V, jack into her biomon. Need to know what we're dealin' with.
V (VINCENT) 
Jackin' in.
V jacks into Sandra's biomon.
V (VINCENT) 
Sandra Dorsett. NC570442. Trauma Team Platinum.
JACKIE  
Platinum? Shilit, Trauma shoulda swooped in if she sneezed.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Guessin' they jammed the transmitter sig.
OVER PHONE
Lookin' at a hacked biomon, firmware reconfig or a neurovirus...
JACKIE 
Carajo, T-Bug! You ain't seein' this place. This is tubs, ice, hooks and cleavers.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Hmm... Scopmuncher's hack, huh.
OVER PHONE
Got an idea. Check her neuroport. Find a shard? Yeah, pull it - that'll be what's muting the biomon.
V (VINCENT) 
Is that even safe..? Can't we just get her outta here?
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
We found her still breathin. Can't lose her. We need that biomon working, checking for hemorrhages - whatever! find that shard and yank it!

V (VINCENT) 
Found the shard. Removing now.
V removes the shard, restoring Sandra's biomon.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Check the biomon. Anything change?
BIOMONITOR
Greetings, Sandra.                    
BIOMONITOR (CONT'D) 
If you are conscious, assume recovery position now.
BIOMONITOR (CONT'D) 
An emergency evacuation unit has been dispatched and is due to arrive at your location in 180 seconds.
BIOMONITOR (CONT'D) 
Your premium plan will cover 90% of the projected costs of your rescue and treatment.
JACKIE
Ay, pobrecita. Let's get her off that ice.
V and Jackie pull Sandra out of the bathtub.
V (VINCENT) 
Aw, fuck!
JACKIE
She's flatlinin'!
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
V, need to know what's goin' on!
V (VINCENT) 
Jackie, airhypo! Fuck, this is bad!
JACKIE
Ey, catch, vato!
V revives Sandra with the airhypo.
V (VINCENT) 
I think...! Holy shit, it worked!

JACKIE
Fuera, cabrón. Get her outside!
They carry Sandra out to the balcony as the Trauma Team arrives in their Aerial Vehicle (AV).
TRAUMA TEAM
Landing, stand clear! Initiating security protocol. Follow all instructions.
TRAUMA TEAM SOLDIER
Place the patient on the ground!
TRAUMA TEAM SOLDIER (CONT'D) 
Five steps back. Now.

TRAUMA TEAM SOLDIER #2 (CONT'D) 
Stimulants being administered - 70 milligrams dopamine, 110 norepinephrine, 800 fibrinogen…

JACKIE
Let's get outta here. Elevator gets us to the garage direct.
T-BUG (OVER PHONE)
Good work. Shitshow's over.
OVER PHONE
Cuttin' my wires now. See ya in the near future.
JACKIE
Listen, mano, I got this thing. Mind if I borrow your wheels?
V (VINCENT) 
Hmmm...
JACKIE
I got a date with Misty, but...       heh, I can't take the metro! How's that gonna look for me?
V (VINCENT) 
Won't leave you hangin', Jack. But don't get used to it.
JACKIE
Aah, savin' my ass, V, thank you. How about I drive you home, eh?
V (VINCENT) 
She's all yours. I'm beat as it is.
They head to the elevator.
JACKIE
Oh, almost forgot. Should get Wakako on the holo - tell her the job's done.
V calls Wakako Okada.
WAKAKO (OVER PHONE)
Ahem! V? How did it go? Our client is alive and well?
V (VINCENT) (OVER PHONE)
'Course she's alive and well. That's what we agreed, isn't it?
WAKAKO (OVER PHONE)
Splendid. Your payment awaits you - ready to come and grab whenever you like, even right away. But I guess home is the only place you wish to be now.
OVER PHONE
The NCPD has surrounded Watson. The district is closed.                             
WAKAKO (OVER PHONE)
If you are to make it past the cordon, you must move fast.
V (VINCENT) 
Thanks for the heads-up. Swing by to see you later.
V (VINCENT) (CONT'D)  
Word's out the NCPD's gonna put Watson on lockdown. If I'm gonna sleep in my own bed tonight, we better put it in fifth.
JACKIE
Leave it to me, mano. I'm drivin'.
They get into V's car and drive off, with the sound of rain and music playing on the radio.
                                                     CUT TO:
INT. V'S CAR - CONTINUOUS
Jackie drives V's car through the rainy streets of Night City. The radio plays a few songs:
1. "Gr4ves (feat. Johnny Gr4ves)" by Konrad OldMoney & Kyü-Bik
2. "Bigger Man (feat. Taelor Yung)" by Konrad OldMoney & Droox
3. "Day of Dead (feat. Taelor Yung)" by Konrad OldMoney & Haps
JACKIE
Can't stop diggin' Night City.
V (VINCENT) 
City like any other. Just bigger.
JACKIE
Nah, mano. Not just any other city.
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
Morgan Blackhand, Andrew Weyland, Adam Smasher.
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
Legends are born here.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Man, I'm starvin'. Let's grab a tight-bite, Whaddaya say?
V (VINCENT) 
Jackie - they're lockin' down Watson, 'member?
JACKIE
Ah, shit. You're right.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Is it just me or...
Suddenly, a van starts tailing them.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Ah, fuckin' knew it! Van on our ass - tailin' us.
The van pulls up alongside them and starts shooting.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Chingado. I don't like this, V. Not one tiny bit.
V (VINCENT) 
Fuckin' drive, Jackie!
JACKIE
Come on, V, shoot!
V (VINCENT) 
Can't! Keep her steady!
JACKIE
Hold tight, V!
The van rams into their car, causing Jackie to lose control.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
¡Mierda, perdón!
Jackie manages to shoot at the van, causing it to crash.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Got you, assholes!
JACKIE (CONT'D)
V! Aim for the driver!
V takes a shot, but the van crashes into a building.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
¡Chingado!
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Agh. Scratched your baby up pretty bad. Sorry, V.
V (VINCENT) 
It's OK - it can wait. Let's just focus on gettin' home.
JACKIE
Damn. They're pullin' out all the stops.
They approach a police checkpoint.
NCPD OFFICER
Watson's on lockdown till further notice. Necessary security measure.
JACKIE
Officer, ma'am! Damn are we ever lucky we ran into you.
NCPD OFFICER
Really... What's it that makes me so special?
JACKIE
Aa, a heart o' gold? 'Cause only somebody with a heart o' gold can understand just how much I need to get back to my girl.
NCPD OFFICER
Your... girl?
JACKIE
Uh-huh. Gonna be worried sick if I don't show.
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
I mean, I'm tryin' to be a stand-up guy. She giving me a chance, waiting.
NCPD OFFICER
Hm... that's a shame.
V (VINCENT) 
Look at 'im. No model citizen, maybe, but he's a good kid.
NCPD OFFICER
Let them through. But they're the last.
NCPD OFFICER (CONT'D)
OK, on your way.
JACKIE
You have a good evening, now, officer... ma'am.
V (VINCENT) 
She took a likin' to ya.
JACKIE
The devotion demonstrated - grabbed her by the gut.
V (VINCENT) 
Rilight...
JACKIE
I'm loyal, stable in my affections...
V (VINCENT) 
Mhhhmm...
JACKIE
And unassuming. You get it.
Suddenly, they encounter a group of gang members.
GANGER
Outta the car! Now!
GANGER (CONT'D) 
C'mon! Ain't got all day!
JACKIE
..Check it out, V. Shit's goin' down.
GANGER
Aa, shit, they're here!
GANGER (CONT'D) 
Fuckin' shoot!
Gunfire erupts as they come under attack from MaxTac, the NCPD's elite tactical unit.
V (VINCENT) 
Doesn't look like your average bust...
JACKIE
Cause they ain't your average badges. That's MaxTac - NCPD'S opex predators.
JACKIE (CONT'D) 
MTac rolls in when things fly outta hand. Gonks out there, though, just a midday snack for 'em.
The gunfight ends, with the gang members defeated.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Welp, show's over. Poor bastards... but they had it comin'.
Jackie pulls up to V's apartment.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Made it. Almost at your place.
V (VINCENT) 
What about you? Not likely to make it back to Heywood now...
JACKIE
Chill, V. They'll let me through.
V (VINCENT) 
Sure about that?
JACKIE
'Oh yeah. I'll play nice Jackie again.
JACKIE (CONT'D)
Sweet dreams, then.
V (VINCENT) 
Tell Misty I said "Hi."
JACKIE
I will. Ahi luego.
V gets out of the car and heads towards his apartment, while Jackie drives off.
