Over at Isaac’s apartment our heroes “Kovacs” the door open and rough him up a bit, but he has no idea what they’re talking about. He needs him alive for some reason, and this leaves Dimi as a bit of a loose end, which the angry assassin will figure out a few scenes later, when he flees from the Ghost Walker and needlecasts himself into a new clone: the body of the original Takeshi Kovacs we saw at Fight Drome. We see Dimi with Hemingway, who tells him not to touch Kovacs. It’s also clear that Dimi is on the run in his new sleeve. He’s called the Ghost Walker for a reason. We also learn that the Ghost Walker, the crazed assassin who nearly killed Ortega, is on none of the footage of the attack. It becomes clear that the captain is a bit powerless, though. There’s a bit of a showdown between the two when Prescott wants the clone of Laurens Bancroft taken from Isaac’s apartment. Anyway, Vernon interrupts Kovacs’s chat with his psyche just in time for Kovacs to go to Isaac’s house to further the investigation into the murder for which he was resleeved in the first place.Ĭaptain Tanaka gets his most development so far this season, starting with a scene with Prescott, the high-powered attorney of the Bancroft family. Altered Carbon looks great, but style can’t overcome truly cheesy dialogue. “Stride across the centuries and death follows” is pretty bad, but eyes should really roll at “Love isn’t finite.” While both performers are good in this scene, it’s these emotional moments in which the subpar writing really falters. In a show that’s packed with overheated dialogue, this scene may be the hottest of all. She mentions how expendable people are, but Kovacs has grown attached to Kristin Ortega. Meanwhile, Kovacs is having an imaginary chat with his mentor and lover, Falconer. He encourages her to punch him, but Vernon jumps in, perhaps setting back his daughter’s recovery.

At least Poe understands that Lizzie needs to fight through her trauma. It’s interesting that this show imagines one of the darker figures from American literature as a savior. While Ortega is getting stitched up and the doctors are offering all kinds of fancy upgrades, Poe is still in VR, trying to save Lizzie Elliot. Note this connection: It seems like Bancroft had something to do with the framing of Ryker, yet now it’s Bancroft who will indirectly save Ortega’s life by paying for her surgery.

However, Kovacs spits on the DNA reader, revealing he’s full of that Bancroft money. He rushes into the hospital with her, but she’s cast aside because her DNA indicates she can’t afford instant treatment. He’s performing CPR on her and driving at the same time. Finally, we meet a new puppeteer, a power player named Hemingway (Arnold Pinnock), who may be pulling all of the strings in Bay City.įirst, Ortega is almost dead! Picking up where the last episode ended, “Man With My Face” opens with Kovacs and Ortega racing through the sky like some futuristic version of the opening of Reservoir Dogs. We also discover that Captain Tanaka is a little corrupt and that Kovacs’s feelings for Ortega may actually be true love.

Sure, we learn that Isaac Bancroft (probably) didn’t kill his father, but did anyone think the show’s major mystery would be that easy to solve? Of course not. Another bloody episode of Altered Carbon ends with another cliff-hanger, but little in the way of narrative development.
