Motoko's GHOST squad infiltrates the home of Patrick Huge but is unable to apprehend him, as he inexplicably dodges all their gunfire and most of their attacks. After fighting through Huge's security robots, the team fights Huge himself, equipped with an armored suit. The team manages to disable the suit and Motoko tries to dive into Huge's cyberbrain, then orders Saito to shoot Huge in the head before she loses herself. As John Smith and Delta Force operatives plan to kill everyone there, John is ordered to stand down by the President as Aramaki appears to escort PSS9 back home.
