Maine’s crew continues searching for a way to reach Arasaka executive Tanaka. Kiwi discovers that Tanaka privately purchases illicit braindances customized by Jimmy Kurosaki, a notorious director known as JK. David recognizes the name and proposes capturing JK, since Tanaka must meet him personally for specialized tuning. The crew launches an ambush, but JK anticipates the attack, disables David, and escapes with him while Lucy and Dorio pursue. JK forces David through recordings of cyberpsychos dying violently, attempting to demonstrate that extensive cyberware eventually destroys every user. Lucy and Dorio locate them, capture JK, and stop the induced trauma before David completely loses control. Under threat, JK agrees to summon Tanaka to a meeting. Tanaka arrives with security, leading to a firefight in which JK is mortally wounded and Tanaka is taken alive. The violence triggers an incoming Trauma Team response, leaving the edgerunners little time to move their valuable prisoner. As the crew evacuates, David remains shaken by JK’s warning that exceptional tolerance will not protect him forever. The episode ends with Tanaka in their custody and the mission entering a more dangerous phase.
