Part 28 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect 2 for the PC.
Transcript
00:00I heard she lost her daughters when the Gath attacked the Citadel.
00:03Right. I'm sure she was a pleasure to deal with before that.
00:10Can I help you with something?
00:11I'm looking for an Asari warrior named Samara.
00:14Wait, why? Do you have a problem, or... Did she kill somebody already?
00:18Relax. I just need to speak with her.
00:21Good. Samara's the first Justicar I've seen on Ilium. If I'm lucky, things will stay peaceful.
00:25She went to the commercial spaceport a few hours ago.
00:27If you want to get there, the pedestal on that balcony will summon a cab.
00:31Just be polite when you meet her. Justicar's embody our highest laws.
00:35And they usually stay in Asari space. She's not used to dealing with aliens.
00:40Is Samara really that dangerous?
00:42If you follow the laws, you've got nothing to fear.
00:45And a Justicar would die without hesitation to protect the innocent.
00:49But their code orders them to stop lawbreakers, with lethal force in most cases.
00:54And everyone skirts the law somehow on Ilium.
00:57If someone tried to bribe her, she'd be obliged to gun them down as a matter of honor.
01:02I'm hoping to avoid that.
01:05Why are you worried about other species coming into contact with her?
01:09If a Justicar kills an Asari, none of us questions it.
01:12But if she killed a human...
01:13Do you think the Alliance would understand her actions and respect her authority?
01:18You can't even figure out your own religions.
01:20It's a big diplomatic incident just waiting to happen.
01:24Tell me about the Justicar's.
01:27They're a monastic order.
01:28They've given up their families and possessions to follow their code.
01:32Most of them are on some lifelong mission, but they'll always stop to deal with any injustice they encounter, which can be a problem.
01:39In some ways, they're a lot like the Specters undertaking personal missions.
01:43The Specters are authorized by the Council.
01:46Who do Justicars represent?
01:48What?
01:49That's, like...
01:50I don't know a good human metaphor.
01:52They represent their code.
01:54Our code.
01:55It's closer to a religious group than a legal branch.
01:58No law-abiding Asari would question a Justicar's orders.
02:03Nobody becomes a Justicar for personal gain.
02:06And they'd die before breaking their oaths.
02:13I'm looking for Samara.
02:15Like I said, she's at the commercial spaceport.
02:17You can hail a cab at the pedestal on that balcony over there.
02:28You can hail a cab at the pedestal on that balcony over there.
02:59Mr.
03:04Comes home from home from home from home from home from home from here.
03:05Where am I going from from?
03:11Mr.
03:13I have no suspramento in the aisle.
03:21As a dude, I'm going to find any direction that this is being threatened to be like,
03:26I decided to pronounce.
03:27Where do you think you're going?
03:34I'm taking my goods to Omega, detective.
03:37You're not going anywhere, merchant. Not until I solve this murder.
03:40I had nothing to do with that.
03:43It was those mercenary thugs you can't seem to get rid of.
03:47The victim was your business partner, and I'm not ruling you out.
03:51I'll let you know when you can leave.
03:54What about that Justicar that just showed up?
03:57Everyone says she might go crazy and start killing. I need to leave.
04:02She'll only kill the unjust, so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, Pitney Four.
04:06Find me in the station if you need me.
04:08I need to go crazy and get rid of the way you have to be against us.
04:13Evil?
04:17Okay.
04:19Alright.
04:20It's almost gonna kill him.
04:22She's like, tôm.
04:22I don't know.
04:52What do you want?
04:57I've already got mercs wanting to kill me like they did my partner.
05:00I don't need any more trouble.
05:03As if that weren't enough, some Asari Justicar showed up this morning.
05:09All the natives are scared of her. I've got to get off this world.
05:14Has Samara actually done anything yet?
05:17The Asari say that Justicars are lethal in a fight.
05:21And if they so much as smell corruption, they start shooting.
05:26The thing is, corruption isn't that hard to find around here.
05:32Tell me how to find the Justicar.
05:34She's in the alley where my business partner was murdered.
05:38A detective sealed the area, so you'll have to talk with her if you want to go there.
05:42Why do you think it was mercenaries?
05:49Dacnicur was cutting through a back alley last night when someone killed him with a shotgun.
05:55I saw his body this morning.
05:58They'd used modded rounds.
06:00That means eclipse mercs.
06:02You must know something about these eclipses.
06:07I occasionally do business with them.
06:10But only in well-lit places.
06:13With my guards.
06:15And only after the cred's clear.
06:18This is a scummy bunch.
06:20Even by merc standards.
06:22They sell red sand.
06:24All kinds of illegal item.
06:26And they are all cold-blooded killers.
06:34Why would these mercs kill him?
06:36And why do you think they're coming after you, too?
06:39I have no idea.
06:41We're innocent merchants.
06:44But they killed him, so they must be after me, too.
06:49I have to work the angles and get out of here.
06:52You don't seem too broken up about your partner's death.
06:55Dacnicur knew the risks when he took to spacing.
07:00Right now, my worry is me.
07:05It's unhealthy to be a Volus in the Nosastra spaceport right now.
07:10Especially a Volus named Pitney IV.
07:15I should go.
07:16Cops don't admit it, but the Eclipse sisters run this area.
07:34I wanted to be a Jostikar when I was young.
07:49Every Asari does, I guess.
07:51Cops don't admit it, but the Eclipse in the nosastra pas.
08:01I don't know.
08:02I don't understand.
08:05I think it's a force to make it.
08:06But the Eclipse sent forth, I guess.
08:08Let's go.
08:09Let's take a moment.
08:11I got to go.
08:13I guess I'm going.
08:14I don't know.
08:15We're going.
08:15Bye.
08:16I got myxes now.
08:17It's about an hour to open a minute.
08:18Nice guns.
08:25Try not to use them in my district.
08:28What can I do for you?
08:29I'm looking for an Asari warrior named Samara.
08:32If you've got a score to settle with Samara, take it somewhere else.
08:36I've got more than enough trouble here already.
08:38I need to recruit Samara for my mission.
08:40Then we'll be on our way.
08:42Chestakars usually work alone.
08:44But they are drawn to impossible causes.
08:47We've got that covered.
08:49If you're getting her out of my district, I'll get you to her ASAP.
08:52She's at the crime scene.
08:55You're letting her into a sealed crime scene?
08:58I'm a cop. I'll work with the Justicar all I can.
09:02Besides, she's been looking at crime scenes longer than our two lifespans combined.
09:05She knows how to handle herself.
09:09You're awfully anxious to get Samara out of your district.
09:12My bosses want me to detain her.
09:14They're worried she'll cause some kind of cross-species incident.
09:18But her Justicar code won't let her be taken into custody.
09:21If I try it, she'll have to kill me.
09:24I have no interest in dying, so if you lure her away with some big noble cause
09:28before I have to carry out my orders, I'm thrilled to help you.
09:31Your superiors are sending you to certain death for no good reason.
09:36You have a right to disobey.
09:38Let's remember that next time Shepard sets us up against impossible odds.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Let's not start counting.
09:46Most of the time, I'm not being stupid about it.
09:48I can't say the same for Anaya's superiors.
09:51I'm a cop and I know my duty.
09:52I've been ordered to detain her and I will.
09:55Unless I can get her to leave my district first.
10:00Samara would kill a cop?
10:01That doesn't sound very just.
10:03She would die defending an honest cop, but she'd fight an army of dirty cops to the death.
10:08I admire her dedication, but her presence is still a big problem.
10:11I need her gone before I have to carry out my orders.
10:13How do I get to the crime scene?
10:17It's around the corner.
10:18Go outside, take a left.
10:19Look for the police line.
10:20I'll send word to let you in.
10:22Be careful.
10:23The local Eclipse mercs have been all over those back alleys lately.
10:33You mentioned a crime scene.
10:37A Volus merchant was murdered.
10:39It was a professional hit, so we're not dealing with junkies looking for a score.
10:42I'm thinking the local Eclipse mercenary band.
10:46Can't prove it.
10:47But if the Volus was dirty too, maybe it's just a deal gone bad.
10:52What do I need to know about these mercenaries?
10:54Eclipse mercs are professional killers.
10:57They sell red sand, trade illegal weapons tech, and smuggle criminals off-world.
11:01They control some back alleys around here.
11:03I haven't been able to find their nest yet, though.
11:08What can you tell me about Justicars?
11:09They're a kind of...
11:12Humans might call them warrior monks.
11:14They live by a complex code that compels them to punish the wicked and protect the pure.
11:19They've been a part of a sorry culture for millennia.
11:21I read adventure stories about Justicars when I was a child.
11:24What do you think of Samara herself?
11:29She's been a Justicar longer than three of your lifespans.
11:33Whoever she was before she swore that oath, that person is dead.
11:37People seem nervous about Samara's presence.
11:40Asari admire Justicars.
11:43But we also know that they kill without mercy when they find corruption.
11:46And Justicars never leave Asari's space.
11:48Why is she here?
11:51I doubt it's to investigate the murder of some corrupt Volus.
11:55I have to go.
11:58Good luck.
12:00We'd better find Samara before the detective goes after her.
12:03Good luck.
12:21Anaya told us to let you through.
12:38Watch yourself. There's merc activity back here.
12:41We're waiting on backup.
12:51Nice.
13:21Get the rest of Bravo Squad prepped.
13:36Alpha Squad went after that just a car 20 minutes ago, and they've gone dark.
13:40Alpha Squad went after that.
14:10Alpha Squad went after that, and they've gone dark, and they've gone dark, and they've gone dark.
14:40Those were my best troops.
14:49Tell me what I need to know, and I will be gone from here.
14:57Where did you send her?
14:58You think I'd betray her?
15:01She would hurt me in ways you can't imagine.
15:04The name of the ship.
15:06Your life hangs on the answer, Lieutenant.
15:08You can kill me, but one of us will take you down, Justicar.
15:11What was the name of the ship she left on?
15:29Go to hell.
15:30Find peace in the embrace of the goddess.
15:35My name is Samara, a servant of the Justicar code.
15:46My quarrel is with these Eclipse sisters, but I see three well-armed people before me.
15:53Are we friend or foe?
15:55I'm Commander Shepard, and I need your help with a critical mission, Samara.
16:00You honor me, but I am in the middle of an investigation.
16:03I'm going up against suicidal odds, and I need the best.
16:08That's you.
16:09I sense the truth in what you say, and it humbles me.
16:12But I seek an incredibly dangerous fugitive.
16:17I cornered her here, but the Eclipse sisters smuggled her off-world.
16:22I must find the name of the ship she left on before the trail goes cold.
16:25I wish you were willing to go with the human, Justicar.
16:29I've been ordered to take you into custody if you won't leave.
16:33You risk a great deal by following your orders, Detective.
16:36Fortunately, I will not have to resist.
16:39My code obligates me to cooperate with you for one day.
16:42After that, I must return to my investigation.
16:45I won't be able to release you that soon.
16:47You won't be able to stop me.
16:50There must be some way we can all get what we need.
16:53I see a way.
16:54While I am in custody, you find the name of that ship.
16:58Do that, and I will join you.
16:59Then the code will be satisfied.
17:02A moment ago you refused to give up your investigation,
17:05but now you'll swear to follow me?
17:07If I stay, I will be compelled to kill many innocents to escape incarceration.
17:12Like me.
17:14I may be killed, and my quarry would be free to continue murdering.
17:18If I come with you and survive your mission, I can resume my investigation.
17:21To do that, I need the ship's name to track her to her next hiding place.
17:26It is a simple choice.
17:28Bad odds, but better than killing a bunch of people for no good reason.
17:33Can you tell me more about Justicars?
17:34We are individuals who have four sworn family, children, and worldly possessions aside from some weapons and armor.
17:42We travel Asari space righting wrongs as defined by the ancient code we have each memorized.
17:46Ilium may be dominated by Asari, but it isn't in Asari space.
17:55My quarry fled to this place.
17:57I am sworn to hunt her down, and I will follow anywhere she goes.
18:00It is rare for a Justicar to leave Asari space, but I must follow my oath.
18:05If I suffer for it, I will accept that.
18:07This Justicar code seems quite strict.
18:16It may seem so to you, but this is my oath.
18:19The expedient path may be fast and simple.
18:21That does not make it the right path.
18:25Do you have any leads?
18:27The Volus merchant Pitney IV is tied to this.
18:30Eclipse mercs are preparing to kill him.
18:33Get the truth out of him.
18:34He may know a way to the Eclipse base.
18:39Well, I've got to get back to my station.
18:42And I guess I've got to take you with me.
18:46Thank you, Shepard.
19:04Hello again, EarthClan.
19:19Did you speak to the detective?
19:21Why are the mercs after you?
19:22I know nothing about any mercenaries, EarthClan.
19:28I'm merely an innocent merchant trying to make his way in life.
19:31The Eclipse are out for your blood.
19:33I need your help to break into their base.
19:35Shouldn't we work together?
19:38Yes.
19:39You're right, EarthClan.
19:42I'm desperate.
19:43I've got angry mercs after me, and now this Asari Justicar.
19:49Let's talk.
19:51I smuggle the chemical onto Ilium that boosts biotic powers in combat.
19:57It also is toxic.
19:59I may have, um, forgotten to mention that to the Eclipse.
20:07So they are perturbed and want to kill me.
20:11Tell me about this chemical you brought in.
20:14It's called Minogen X3.
20:17And it's very, very, um, illegal.
20:23Anyone with biotic powers who is exposed to it becomes more powerful.
20:29The higher your exposure, the more powerful you get.
20:33But too much of it, you die.
20:37That's the part that the Eclipse found disagreeable.
20:41It sounds like you're a swindler, and your actions finally caught up with you.
20:47True and true.
20:49But I haven't survived as a merchant this long without being able to tell when there's a deal in the making.
20:57You want something.
20:59The Eclipse recently smuggled someone off-world.
21:01I need the name of the ship she left on.
21:05I don't know about their people smuggling operations.
21:08They must keep records in their base.
21:10I do have a pass card they issued me to bring my goods in.
21:16Well, I had to return that one, but I happened to make a copy.
21:20Take it, but be careful.
21:30Each Eclipse sister commits a murder to earn her uniform.
21:34Don't treat them.
21:35They are all dangerous.
