The novels are all from Kovacs perspective. The big differences from the source material is an expanded role for Ortega, diving into her family that is only mentioned in the series as well as spending time with just her. If you're a science fiction or film noir fan you should be hooked by now. The world continues to be expanded and we can see the plot laying out but not so much that we can start guessing at what's going to happen. This is getting to be a bit of China Town with the mess Kovacs is making and the fact he has a wound on his nose. I'm sure that won't be a problem later on. And Miriam's current sleeve is genetically enhanced to excrete a pheromone/drug that heightens sexual arousal. We find out two interesting facts, that when you get re-sleeved the body is really worked up and needs sex. Miriam Bancroft ( Kristin Lehman) is waiting in Kovac's room. Kovacs returns to the Raven where Poe has been watching old detective movies and wants to help as Kovacs assistant… who usually gets killed in the movies, but it's okay since Poe is an AI. She sneaks into the morgue, finds Mary Lou's hidden body, removes the stack from it and then puts the body in the middle of the morgue where it can be found by someone not trying to hide it. Ortega, who has already had to tell Mary Lou's mom that the body is lost and deal with her own overbearing mother, is frustrated by Kovacs and Prescott. Prescott shows up at the station and gets Kovacs out. They take out the thugs and Ortega shows up and takes Kovacs in while Elliot takes off. As Kovacs leaves, he is confronted by Elliot, but then two enhanced thugs attack them both. He finds a stripper ( Stephanie Cleough) to ask about Lizzie, claims to be her mother cross sleeved and looking for Lizzie's killers. Kovacs gets a lead on where Lizzie Elliot ( Hayley Law), the daughter, was killed and goes there. Elliot is an ex-marine and tries to fight Kovacs but fails. Kovacs starts going through the death threats Bancroft has received and is lead to Vernon Elliot ( Ato Essandoh) whose daughter he believed was killed by Bancroft and whose wife is in prison (which now means taken out of her body and her stack stored) for hacking crimes. And we see Poe ( Chris Conner) try to meet up with other A.I.s but it doesn't go well. We find out that Ortega ( Martha Higareda) has a tracker on Kovacs, that her father was a cop and Catholic so they have no idea who killed him. ![]() He tries to threaten Kovacs back into line, but Kovacs doesn't take threats and pushes back. She takes Kovacs to the company that keeps Bancroft's clones ready and Bancroft ( James Purefoy) arrives in all his glory. We move to Kovacs ( Joel Kinnaman) waking up the morning after accepting the case and meeting Bancroft's lawyer, Oumou Prescott ( Tamara Taylor). There was a bill to override that, but the bill failed. She's a Catholic, which is important because they are the one group that can't be re-sleeved because of religious beliefs. ![]() The episode starts with a dead woman falling out of the sky and into the water, this is Mary Lou Henchy ( Lisa Chandler) and someone tries very hard to make this body go missing.
