A news broadcast reveals that Celica was shot and killed resisting arrest for the murder of Sylvia. Later everyone gathers at Roy's apartment to search for answers, and while there Integra and Axela watch a heart-felt video recording of Celica. Back in the R.U.C. headquarters, Roy tries to get Rose to come home but she refuses and Ashley prevents him from talking to her while threatening his life. Back at Roy's apartment, Joseph leaves a message on the answering machine and Integra recognizes the voice. A flashback shows her and the other PROCEED members as children in a room with Joseph and Ashley arguing about their method for augmenting genes.
