- [Narrator] The year is 2045.
Night City is the hive of activity
on the West coast.
And the mysterious disappearance
of the Golden Gate
Bridge remains unsolved.
In world news BTS officially announced
their bid for presidency,
making them the second septet ever
to run for official office.
In Night City burglaries are on the rise
in the warehouse district.
The temperature is 83 degrees,
sunny with a burst of wave trains
along the coast after 6:00 PM.
Welcome everybody.
(upbeat music)
- We're back.
- We're back baby.
- It's hard.
- I can't believe it.
(laughs)
- Can't keep us away.
- Yeah,
I can't believe it
either, but here we are.
It's super cool.
- I can't wait to remember
- how did your
- Your voice.
- Brooklyn accent
and a Mid-western accent and occasionally
a deep woods Maine accent
at the very same time.
(laughs)
- It's gonna be great.
- Excellent.
So what about ya'll characters been doing
since the, let's say a week in game,
since we've talked?
- Well, Vango Bango has been kind of
just rethinking his online persona.
After last time, I think he was
a little bit upset that he couldn't stream
his very cool and game moves.
And so he's decided that people
seemed to appreciate his roguish nature
of going into unlocked doors
and has decided to rebrand a little bit
into something a little bit more puckish,
but he still doesn't have the charisma
to follow through with that.
- Excellent.
What about Dasha?
- Dasha has been trying as much as she can
to suppress any footage that Vango Bango
streamed last week.
(laughs)
She doesn't necessarily
wanna be associated with it.
Other than that, she's
been back on that grind
and kind of thinking about what promise
she could extract from Hypo someday.
- Excellent.
What about old Burger Chainz?
- Burt Burger Chainz bought a boat on eBay
and he doesn't know
where he's gonna keep that thing moat.
(laughing)
He told Vango that he bought a boat
and he's thinking about living on it.
And Vango was like,
where are you going to keep that moat?
And he said, the beach.
So he's got a boat and a van now.
- That's great.
- Do we know the dock
situation at Night City?
It's on the water, it is on the coast.
In fact, I have a map I
can send you guys later.
- Oh, excellent.
- Yeah, it is like,
'cause it's like an LA equivalent,
so it is on the water.
But the water...
- The moating
has gotta be pretty expensive there.
- Yeah, it certainly must.
(laughing)
- They won't even let Vango Bango
into cyber Santa Monica.
- So the boat is parked on the street
in front of his apartment.
(laughing)
- So, Burger Chainz now can live
either in his van or in his boat.
Both of which are
in the same place.
- Does the boat
have a robot Keanu Reeves equivalent in it
or is it not cyber?
- It's got a robot Roy Scheider in it.
- Oh, no.
- Stop doing this to Jenna.
(laughing)
- Vango Bango immediately googles
the Roy Scheiders.
- So does God, which is who I am.
- It is attached to the
ball hitch of the van.
So, it's going anywhere we're going.
- Oh my God.
- Great.
- Amazing.
That's great energy to
start this off with, okay.
So, Burger Chainz, you get a call
from your old friend Hypo,
hype, ooh Burgerz, how you doing men?
- Oh, hey mate.
I'm out here making moves.
I got a boat.
Things are looking up for old BC.
- Oh man, I love to hear that.
Listen, you guys did such a good turn
last week, helping me
solve all those problems
so discreetly.
- I recall everything that happened
as if it were seven to eight months ago.
(laughs)
- Yeah, me too man.
My memory is short.
He says, yeah, listen, I got a friend
who works, he's does security
for a warehouse.
And he said they had a
little bit of a break in,
nothing like super big.
You guys have maybe not big time enough
to get like the real cool stuff,
but I thought you guys
would maybe be good.
Maybe Google could probably help out?
That's something you seem interested in?
- Lemme get the whole group on.
Lemme hit the group chat
and see if anybody's down real quick.
So I take out my,
what's it called a scout, an agent.
And I do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
and I text Dasha and Vango,
I say, do you guys want one in?
- What in?
I text back.
- Vango immediately says yes.
- IN?
I text IN five more times
with a question Mark on each one.
- And I say, I text back,
hey Vango, love to hear
from you again pal.
So just van 15 minutes, question mark.
- I type back k, period.
- In?
(laughs)
- And then
- In your van?
- my phone runs out of battery.
(laughs)
- I am curious, I do want to know
what he's doing.
Oh, do I know where his
van is probably parked?
- I think you probably do.
- Van,
van, in?
- I think canonically,
I think any time, I think you know
where my van is generally better than me.
I think a lot of times I will text you
to ask where I parked my van.
- That makes sense.
I am tracking you.
- Usually right outside
of Dasha's apartment
because she's the only one
with an actual apartment.
- I lean out the window
of my apartment and I shout, in?
(laughing)
And then I come downstairs,
I rap on the door of Burger Chainz's van.
- And I explain that we
have a warehouse job.
- What kind of a warehouse job?
- There's been a couple of break-ins
over at one of Hypo's pals.
He's got one of those connections,
a job connection for us for picking
security detail in house of procurement
and we gotta watch a warehouse.
- I'm wondering if you asked him this time
if he has any money to pay us?
- Just then you get a text from Hypo
with an address.
(laughs)
And it says, yeah, my buddy Edgar
just wants you to check out
and see if you can find the culprits.
They have money
and then it's just like
eight dollar signs.
- Ooh, okay, hell yeah.
- Eight dollar signs.
I'll do it.
- Vango Bango appears as if from nowhere
just streaming while walking backwards
towards the van being like,
what's up guys, Vango Bango
back on another classic thing.
I don't a hundred percent
know what we're doing yet,
but you can always expect
the good content from my channel.
And that's why you follow
and subscribe to jumptrash.net.
- A real domain.
(laughing)
- That you should go to.
- A real domain.
I imagine Vango Bango just bumps
into Burger Chainz as
he's walking backwards.
- I pick up Vango Bango and I hug him.
- Oh.
- That is cute.
- I cut the (mumbles)
(laughing) off immediately.
- So, what do you say?
We hop in the all van/boat
and cruise on down
to what's this guy's name,
and I need to look at my phone again
and find out what this guy's name is.
Who are we working for?
Edgar?
- Your phone is dead.
- I propelled him Edgar, yeah.
- Edgar, that's okay.
I plug my phone into my
cigarette lighter adapter
in my van and I say, happen.
- So you show up at a warehouse
and there's a man waiting for you upfront.
Who looks, I would say
aggressively nondescript.
You might say he looks like an NPC.
(laughing)
He's wearing overalls and
like business overalls.
And he's got like a buzz cut
and a very generic face.
But he looks very stern,
he looks very responsible.
And he's got his arms crossed
and he's waiting for you up front.
And he sees your van pull up
and he's like, he just nods.
Yes.
These look like people
Hypo would send to me.
- Hello, I'm Dapper Dasha
and these are my companions.
How are you doing today?
- I'm very pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you as well.
- Sees Vango flash that
sign and just says, yup.
All right.
My name is Edgar Marshall, welcome.
How much did Hypo tell you?
- Burger received the initial message
and what I got from that
was a little bit garbled
but I understand you're having
some burglaries here.
- Burger?
- Burger, burger, burger, burger,
my associate Mr. Chainz.
- It's funny that you're having burglaries
and you've summoned Burger at burglary.
I've never done one.
- The client's problems
aren't funny Burger,
the client's problems aren't funny.
- They're a little
funny if you think about
that air go on it, but go on.
- Edgar
- It is all a bit funny.
- does not laugh but he nods and says,
yeah, that is funny.
- That's funny, okay.
- You get the impression
he doesn't think it's funny,
but he doesn't think it's not funny.
- That's I mean, listen, that's the best
I can ask for with most of my content.
- He says, so welcome
to Bessemer Cosmetics warehouse.
This is where we
warehouse all of the goods
that will eventually be sent
to Bessemer Cosmetic stores.
It's not a big warehouse
but it's my warehouse
and I take a lot of responsibility for it.
I don't know anything about makeup
but I know a lot about security,
which is why this problem
has been really flustered.
- Vango Bango, now that
he's trying to rebrand
as somebody cooler,
walks up while streaming
and says, hey, don't worry Edgar.
That's why you've chosen
the three most competent people
in all of Night City.
We are here to make sure things go well
and if they get a little crazy,
that's just how it is.
- Get a little crazy.
- And then I'm looking.
- And there you have it.
- What does that mean?
Okay.
- I stopped streaming after...
- Okay (mumbles)
- I assure you that the
last time we took a job,
I only hit one guy with a bar stool.
- The reason that Hypo sent us
is because we did take
care of a little problem
for him and we did it very discreetly.
I'm sure you haven't even heard of it.
So, we would love to help you
with this little issue that you're having
for a fee of course.
- Of course.
We are prepared to pay
you for a solution here
'cause we're all in it.
I worked in security a long time.
I'm a little bit of what's in this,
what's happening here.
- I'm sure you're doing
the absolute best you can.
- Thank you, thank you Dasha.
So, he lays down what happened.
Basically, a small selection of makeup
has gone missing.
It doesn't look like
a big large-scale job.
It looks like probably
somebody with a duffle bag
came in and filled the duffle bag
and ran off with a bunch of makeup.
What's confusing them
is that basically all
of their video cameras
went down at once.
And so he hands you over like
a very small Betamax cartridge.
So the cartridge he hands over to you
has an icon, a logo on it
that you guys recognize
as being the logo for a company,
a security company called Harp Co.
It's not the biggest security company
in Night City, that's Lazarus security.
But it's very, very well known
because they are very aggressively market
to like home security,
even though the majority
of their contracts
are with like larger businesses.
But they're recognizable
because their logo is a harp,
but instead of having strings,
it has a chain link fence
and their motto is,
even heaven has a gate.
- (censored) great.
- Yeah.
And here's the video he sends you.
He says, this is the
last video that we got
before the entire network
of cameras went down.
- Oh,
- Okay, okay.
- interesting.
- So Vango, I'm gonna do a real quick
cybertech check if that's okay.
- Yeah.
- I wanna just take a look at this and see
basically my concept is that Vango knows
a shit ton about video stuff.
And so he's gonna check through this
and see if there's any like,
post-processing being done to it
or if it's like clear
and like if there's anything
he can gain from it.
- Cool.
Roll for me.
- That was a 10.
- You rolled a 10?
- This doesn't say anything.
Obviously I could have
moved it, but it is a 10.
It was the first role of the time is a 10.
- That's great.
Because it's a critical success
you also get to roll it a second time
and add that as well.
- Cool.
So that was a 10 plus a nine,
so 19 plus my tech which is another nine,
so 28 plus five for
cyber tech so thirty...
I just wasted all of my good luck
on this first dumb ass role.
- That's great, actually I had information
on this that you could only get
if you rolled super well.
And I was like, they work real well.
(laughing)
- Hey ya, Burger, do you know how
to do that whole zoom and enhance thing?
- Vango looks dead at him and says,
did you just call me by your name?
(laughing)
Is that a, is that, like I know you're,
I can't do that, the
zoom and enhance thing.
- Burger can you do that?
- I can't do that Burger chainz.
I can't do that.
- Hey, that's my name.
I wouldn't say my name, do you?
- I can't, the zooming and you know what,
I'm too smart for this.
And then I just go back to like learning
about this thing without looking at it.
- Spectacular.
Alright, so you review the footage
and basically it looks like,
it based on just the image
which is just the recording of the camera
not the camera itself.
You get the impression
that the light pattern
did something to the camera
and if you ask Edgar he will tell you
that basically what happened
is all of the cameras rebooted at once,
for reasons they're unsure of
and while they were rebooting
that's when the people came in
and stole everything.
But you get, we also, looking at the video
you manage to quote unquote enhance it
a little bit by lightening
the screen image.
And when you do that,
you see there's actually a second figure.
There's one person holding up
some sort of square box
that seems to be what the light
is admitting from.
And then behind them a little bit
there seems to be a second person
sort of waiting for them to do this.
- Huh, okay.
So I turn to Edgar and I say,
alright, I can understand
why you'd be confused.
You have to be very
smart to understand this.
But basically somebody
probably came in here
with a piece of technology
that jammed all of your systems
by admitting a specific code
or something via light.
But it does seem
like it wasn't just a one person job.
There was probably, there
was at least two people
who were doing this.
- Well, that's mighty
weird but not unbelievable.
I guess that our bigger question is,
obviously we wanna know what happened
to our cameras so that we can stop it.
But also why they only
took what they took,
which was just not a lot of makeup.
And in fact, he sends you a manifest
of the items that were stolen.
- Edgar, can I ask how long
it takes the cameras to reboot?
- He thinks for a moment, he says,
yeah, it takes about like five
to 10 minutes depending.
They're all networked together.
- That's longest time.
- Well, we normally don't reboot them.
And when we do, we don't
normally reboot them all
at once, at night when
there are very few people
in the factory or in the warehouses.
- Fair(mumbles).
- Yeah.
He also mentions, yeah, so we don't have
a lot of on staff security
because it's a cosmetic company,
as I'm certain, you're all aware.
They're used to people trying to rob
their warehouses but
normally when people do it,
they're wearing AI, deceiving makeup,
makeup artists these days.
But that doesn't seem to be the case here,
which just might be weird.
But, all of our cameras
are top of the line
because well, then we didn't
a fighting here, makeup artists.
- Am reading through the manifesto.
Again, not very much here,
but it's all very like high fashion
sort of like very flashy.
It's not just like simple makeup,
it's like 3D prints,
beauty marks, which is amazing.
- Were all of these items stored all close
to each other in the warehouse?
Or did they have to run around
to a lot of different places to find them?
- Stored in a couple of different places.
It's a variety of different companies.
So they weren't all comped
together necessarily.
But they were very efficient in going
for what they were looking for.
I have reason to suspect
that they still knew a lot about makeup,
but they just didn't seem to be trying
to pull one over on our AI.
- I wanna roll to see if I know
anything about these brands.
My assumption is that that would be cool.
Plus maybe local expert
or human perception.
- Local expert is no local area,
local factions agendas.
Education is no science history
trivia current events.
So probably education makes more sense.
- Yeah, weirdly I think it does.
Yeah.
And can you argue for any bonuses
that you think Dapper would have?
- Coming from a high-class
background as I do,
I've potentially,
if these are high status brands,
use them, can't afford them anymore.
Shame for me, if so but I definitely
have experience with makeup in my life
on a personal level if
not a professional one.
- I think that's fair.
Go ahead and give me a role.
- 17?
- Okay.
That's a very good role.
So I'll give you some information
but I don't think you get the full,
so what exactly were you trying
to get from this list?
- I want to know what kind of people
like this brand is marketed to
and what kind of people would naturally
be seeking out this makeup.
- Okay.
Some of the products here jump out at you
as things that you do recognize
but it's sort of a mix.
Some of these are just like very nice
but just classic makeup.
So a lot of the things on
the list are just like,
it's like long-wear foundation,
or it's like eyeshadow
that just very straight forward makeup
that one would use.
But some of it, it pops out at you
like the Vantaa black full
spectrum dense shader.
Is like very, very, very expensive
and very high end and is used,
like a lot of these are,
look like they're things
that you would use
in AI scamming makeup styles.
- So what they've taken here
is an interesting mix
of just your basic (censored) makeup.
Plus these luxury brands
that are very, very specific.
I noticed a lot of them,
well, obviously makeup has colors,
so makeup has a lot to
do with colors in general
but some of these very specifically seem
to do with manipulating light
which is sort of what happened
in this robbery, isn't it?
- I mean, maybe they don't need
to have all of the,
like, they weren't going
for the huge score right now
since they only were able to shut down
the cameras to reboot for a little time
and they're getting all the materials
so they can do bigger heists later.
- Bigger heists here
or bigger heists somewhere else.
- I mean, I'll suggest to you Edgar,
do a better job of putting some security
on this warehouse
since these guys...
- Vingo, Vingo,
wow, whoa!
- Am just saying
like if you want my specific advice,
you invited us here to say things so...
- Sorry, we're here to solve a mystery
of a burglary not to advise
on this kind man's security protocol.
This kind man is paying
as many security protocols
- I mean it's, yeah
- and Vingo...
but he could do better.
So,
- Well am sure...
- I don't see why it's a crime
for me to tell him
that he could do better at his job.
- He looks, his face is still stoic
but you get the impression
he's slightly wounded.
He says, yeah, how about I do my job
and you guys figure out who did this?
- Yeah, okay.
- Are you crying
a little bit there?
- No.
- It's okay if you are.
- He nods and he sniffles a little
and he says, I'm not.
Lemme show you to the break inside.
- Thank you, so grateful.
- And he walks you over
to the actual location
where they seem to have broken in.
It's clearly, very clearly like the fence
has been clipped open.
And just as a reminder for the audience,
anytime you hear any sirens or bell chimes
in the background of my audio,
that's just Night City.
That's just Night City flavor.
We've purposely added that in post
to give it texture.
- Yeah.
- It's simply what it sounds like.
- It's just what the City sounds like.
This warehouse is near Clocktower.
- What material is this fence made of?
- It's just regular chain link fence.
It looks very sturdy and this seems
to be the only hole in it.
- So just like the logo, huh?
- Well, it's just like a chain link fence.
(laughs)
So yeah, it's just like the logo.
- Yeah, I think I want to do a perception
on just this general thing.
So in that, for that purpose,
I am accidentally reopening Slack
'cause I misclicked.
I'm sorry, my brain just completely
paralyzed itself nine...
- It's 20 even.
- Thank you.
- Nine percent (mumbles)
Yeah.
So that's a good role.
A 20 is a very good role.
So you're looking around the area
and you can tell that
there's like somebody
clipped it open and walked through here
and walked through the
round to the warehouse.
But as you bend down and inspect
the chain link fence
opening a little bit more,
you find a very, very tiny sneer of makeup
that seems to have been like scratched off
as they ducked through.
I have included a makeup sample
in the video file.
- This is a beautiful shade.
So they wore makeup to do this robbery,
to steal more makeup
and they use some kind of light
to shut off the cameras.
But why wear makeup
if you weren't going to be seen?
I turn to Vango Bango and check to see
if he's streaming right now.
- Maybe it's not for the cameras.
Maybe it's for them.
- Well, that's very pretty to think so
Pat, Bert (laughing).
Whoever you are.
- There's no way that
Dasha can tell what brand
of makeup this thing is, right?
It's just (mumbles)
- Probably not.
- Oh God, it would be really hard.
Yeah.
I do love the idea of Dasha like,
Oh why, this is...(laughs)
- I bend down and I smell the makeup.
What does it smell like?
Does it have a...
- It has a vaguely vanilla scent.
It's a nice quality makeup.
- This is lovely, I would like to know
what brand this is.
Is Edgar still here?
- Yes.
He sees you doing that.
- He doesn't know
anything about makeup.
- He sees you sniff the
makeup and just like,
he's grappling with how little he knows
about the product that he supervises.
- As an investigator of course
I have to use all five or six,
if that's how many senses I have
and brands often use distinctive sense
for their product of course.
- All right,
that's it.
- That being said,
I don't know what this one is.
Could you see anything of the figures
in your enhanced footage Vango Bango?
Could you see any identifying features
or colors on them?
Makeup, for example?
- Could I?
- No, they were behind the light
so they were really cast in shadow.
Lemme think about one of the silhouettes
has like like a pretty large hair
and that's the only
like really identifying feature.
- Which one had large hair?
- The person not holding
the box with the light.
- Gotcha.
Burger, do you have
anything to (mumbles)?
- No, I just like
where this is going.
I just like where this is going.
(laughing)
- That's all.
- Yeah.
- He's just
enjoying the ride.
I can only bump the brightness so much.
It looks like the one person has
slightly like a bigger silhouette
around their hair.
It looks like, if they're wearing makeup
for a heist and they have a good hair,
then maybe they're doing this for,
I stream stuff, so why wouldn't they
be also trying to like,
I don't know, maybe they're
like gentlemen robbers or something
and they just wanna make
a name for themselves
in their little weird heists.
- If you were looking for
footage or livestreams
of this kind of robbery,
where would you go?
- Well, I turn on my streaming.
Of course I'd go to jumptrash.net first
where all of the best content is.
But yeah, lemme do a little check...
- Yeah, and then after
that, where would you go?
- Crime.com.
(laughing)
I think crime.com is the one
that I usually go to.
- There is, let's say competitor
to jumptrash.net called the WeWire
that does have also videos on it
but jump-net trash.net is
a great place to start.
- All right.
I turn on my agent and
I'm starting to check
jumptrash.net and then
in an incognito tab,
so that way they don't think
that I'm going to WeWire,
I would never let anyone know that,
and check out WeWire as well.
And I'm just gonna do
a local expert check on this.
Does that seem right?
- Yeah.
- So that's 22.
- Okay, that's a good check.
Give me a sample of what
like your search terms are.
- So I'm searching just
the best wild choices
I've got, like I've
already have like seven
or eight tabs open, but
with different things
and I'm just kinda aggregating them all.
And they're like things
like, good hair, thief
and light that, in quotes "light reboot"
and then a bunch other things
about different stuff with the Harp.
It was, sorry...
Harp Co?
- Harp Co.
Yeah.
- And like, I'm also just checking
a couple of blogs
about like Harp Co noted back doors.
And so I'm just going through each
of those things for WeWire
and for jumptrash.net.
- Great.
Okay, so you rolled very well
and you search a lot of
different search terms
to look for things that might be relevant
but you don't get a single useful result.
- Okay.
It seems like, and I
mean, kind of a bad choice
on their part if they're
trying to make content,
they did not try to
actually put this online,
they are keeping it on the DL.
Obviously if it were me,
I probably would have tried to stream it
'cause I think again, people would be into
that kind of stuff.
It's a missed opportunity on their part,
but nothing from here.
- You do find a lot of makeup artists
from the region.
So you do find like a lot of people
doing makeup artists' videos
but just not any of those.
- I was gonna say, do I
find any makeup artists
teaching you how to do
anti-face tracking stuff?
- Not really, not on
WeWire or jumptrash.net.
- Cool.
Just want to double check.
- Do any of the makeup artists
you've find have big hair?
- Couple of them, yeah.
Some of them (laughs).
- I make notes of those people
to go for fashion inspo later.
(laughing)
- (mumbles)
- Well it strikes me
that maybe not everyone
wants to make content.
- I pop over my agent and I navigate
to the WeWire pages of
a couple of those people
and I type in the comment
and say the same message
on all of their stuff.
Hahaha, good video.
Hit me up, unrelated,
do any good crimes lately?
Hit me up.
Here's my phone number
and I put my phone number on...
(laughing)
- Amazing.
So Burger Chainz just dropped a comment
on a bunch of videos asking about crimes
and then put his phone
number on the internet.
I'm certain, nothing
will ever come from that
in a future episode of Cyberpunk Red.
- No.
- All right.
Edgar, could you show us
where the things were taken from?
- Sure.
And he leads you into the warehouse.
It's a very nondescript warehouse.
It's a very automated warehouse,
so there's a lot of like robots
hauling things around on the shelves.
And he leads you to a couple of spots
and he's like, yeah, here's where some
of the mere makeup was
and here's where this makeup was.
And it all looks like, for the most part
it was just somebody who
just like opened boxes
and grabbed a couple of
things and then moved on.
- They didn't even take the whole boxes.
They did it specifically, like just,
literally I'm just double checking
that the amount of things that are lost
are single units not like
a full box of that thing.
- Yeah, for the most part, it's just like,
they were just like grabbing
like a handful of things.
- Hmm.
- Wow, okay.
- And it looks like very
specific handfuls but.
- So they intentionally
opened several boxes,
grabbed a couple of each of the products
that they wanted and then left
after going through the trouble to reboot
every single camera in this warehouse.
Who would want to do something like that?
- That's a great question.
- And why?
- Edgar, when the cameras came back online
the people were already gone, right?
- Yeah.
- How long did that take?
- About, he like pulls up his agent
and double checks and
he says eight minutes.
That's a random number,
I've just pulled that up.
- Nice.
- Eight minutes.
- I love it.
- Eight minutes.
That's good.
- Yeah.
- Those cameras really
should be faster rebooting
if they're security grade,
but that's not my business.
- Edgar agrees.
(laughing)
- Do you know what kind of vehicle
they arrived in or did they come on foot?
- He's on, he doesn't know.
- All right.
- Yeah.
Yeah, and your searches at the site
showed footprints but those footprints
just sort of led off onto the street
so you don't know.
- Hey, who works here Edgar?
Is it just you or is
there any other people?
- He says it's mostly him.
There are a few other people
that cover security shifts.
But again, for the most
part they are relying
on the camera technology
in order to be both
preventative and to be able
to catch robbers there.
- Was the robbery
discovered when the cameras
came back online
or was it discovered the next day?
- Yeah, he thinks about that.
They were discovered the
next day when we came in
and saw the anomaly on the footage.
- So they...
- You know I'm only
being just a blank spot.
- So they basically had ample time
to go through these boxes
and then just walk out
into the streets of Night City
and be completely unsuspected.
- Yeah.
Edgar looks offender and he says,
yeah, but you don't have
to rub it in my face.
- I'm just so sorry.
I'm just trying to get the facts straight
'cause I'm investigating this for you.
- Okay, I understand,
I respect that.
- Of course, yes.
- Thank you.
- I'm just doing exposition, okay man.
(laughing)
- I'll say that Burger has been quiet
because he's completely out of his element
right now and he's just sort of like
looking around the warehouse,
thinking about what things
he could jump off of if he wanted to,
just things that he could
climb and jump off of.
- Yeah.
As you're thinking that you get a ring,
you get a buzz on your
agent of a text message.
- Hey Ed, I got a text message here,
shall I look at it?
- When do you find
time to charge your
(censored) phone Burger?
(laughing)
- Ride-over.
- On the car ride-over.
- I've got a full 5% on here.
We're good for awhile.
If I pop open the text
message and I read it.
- The first message you get just says,
LOL, you shouldn't put your phone
on the internet.
The second message you get says,
I know...
- Hang on, hang on.
I respond to that first message.
If I hadn't had done that,
I wouldn't have made a great new friend,
how are you?
- There's a really, really long pause
and it looks like it, somebody started
to types and then stops,
and then starts again
and then stops.
And then it starts up again.
You got me there.
(laughing)
- And then I read the second text message.
- Second text message says,
I know somebody who's a makeup artist
and a robber.
She lives at M house.
And then the message sends you an address
of a place called the M house.
- Yes, Burger you're raising your hand.
Yes.
- Does anyone
know about M house?
- Do I know about M house?
- Yeah, do any of you, this is probably
either Dasha or Vango,
do either of you A, follow makeup artists
or B, they might,
it would be worth checking around.
- I have probably seen
it a few times on the,
like in the forums,
I've heard mention of M house.
- Yes.
- But I like, got a lot
of forums to check so...
(laughs)
- That's fair.
Yeah, if you guys wanna give me a role,
I can tell you more information.
- Yeah, I'll give you a
local expert for that.
Four, so eight, 18.
- Okay, got 18.
That's very impressive.
- Damn, (mumbles).
- Am gonna have to (mumbles)
the difficulty of all of your roles.
(laughing)
- It's just very lucky that you have never
asked me to do something cool.
(laughs)
- Nobody ever has.
Excellent.
So with an 18, you know that M house
is like a streamer house,
basically of makeup artists that all live
in like the same house.
(laughs) And they sort of participate
in each other's videos
and it's a whole group
of people that live together in this house
and do makeup.
- I can picture the wall to wall carpeting
and white painted walls now.
- Yes.
- Bare white painted walls.
- (laughs) Empty rooms,
blacking and furniture.
- The way this happens is that I hear
Burger Chainz say M house
and then there's a pause,
and then it clicks.
And I think, those
(censored) wouldn't accept
my application to join.
I told them that I was a good streamer
and then they wouldn't,
let's go (censored) their shit up.
- Excellent.
So yeah, what you know
about them as a group
is that they cover like a wide variety
of different styles of makeup,
but they are all led like the house
is founded by one of the most popular
makeup artists in Night City.
Her online handle is M-U-A-E-M_U-A.
And her real name is Emmanuella Young
and she's like the ring
leader of the house.
So, you have this address,
are you gonna go visit them?
- Absolutely.
- As soon as Vango Bango realizes
that it's M house,
he does not even say goodbye to Edward.
He just is immediately out,
he just walked away.
- Good, 'cause his name is Edgar.
(laughs)
I'm glad you're not
speaking to him anymore.
- Okay, then nevermind I say,
okay, goodbye Edwin.
And the I leave.
(laughing)
- We are gonna jump on that hot lead
and we'll be back with answers for you.
Client Edgar.
- He nods and says, I trust you guys.
- Thank you.
- It's been a rough day for Edgar.
- To be honest, that's
nice but we only just met
and I don't know if we've earned
that from you yet.
- But we're about to
earn it 10 times over,
have a great day,
- Am just saying Dasha...
- and I grab Burgers arm.
(laughing)
- See you guys.
Follow this address, it takes you
to just like a different area,
not like a very high end area,
but like a decently
safe area of Night City.
And they live in like, a
nice little squat house.
It doesn't look too big,
but it looks big enough
to house the, God!
I should have figured out how many
there were exactly that
seven, seven people,
seven makeup artists that
live in this building?
- Mm-hmm.
Now before we go in there,
we should probably come up with,
we don't want to walk in
like we're accusing them
of robbing a warehouse.
So, and we also don't want them to think
that we respect Vango Bango too much
since they've rejected him already.
- Vango is on his agent right now,
seeing if he can go through and delete
any messages that have,
he has sent to them
or has at all.
And it's like making sure,
I think there's one specific person,
I don't think it's the head of it,
but there is one person
that I have emailed
a few times to discuss the potential
for a collaboration and
I've had no responses.
- Let's go in with some kind of plan for,
maybe we want to hire
one of them for something
or maybe we want information
on the makeup scene.
Maybe for a magazine or something.
What do you think?
- I mean, Vango you're always
tryna get sponsored, right?
(sighs)
- Okay yeah.
I'm always looking to get sponsored.
I just feel weird going into a competitor
that will refuse to
acknowledge my existence.
I don't ...
- I have a wonderful idea.
What if we want a
make-over for Vango Bango
and we want to sort of audition them
to see which one would do the best job.
And there's some kind of cash prize
but we can sort of wave that off
and lie, not lie, lie, not lie.
Imply that there's a
wealthy sponsor to this
and we can see their skills,
see what kind of makeup they have
when they're applying it to Vango Bango,
and maybe ask some
questions along the way.
- That's an okay idea in so far as that.
Hopefully they're all clever enough
makeup artists to know
that I already have,
my aesthetic is perfect so far.
I think they would reject that
considering they know that there's really
nothing better to do to me for my content.
So, we'll see if they'll take that.
- Okay, yeah.
I'm very curious to see what they're going
to say to that, yeah.
Good point Vango.
Does anyone have a better plan?
- Dasha, personally I've never heard
a better plan in my entire life
and I can't wait to get going with it.
- I will
take that as a compliment.
- Are we gonna do characters?
Are we gonna have characters?
- Why don't you just be yourself
and I will be a TV producer, ETV,
cyber TV producer and
Vango will be himself.
I think that that's
probably the best plan.
- Why am I here then?
There's the question like...
- Oh, you're my body
guard, his body guard.
You're someone's body guard.
- I can do that.
- Not like a camera man or something?
No, body guard.
Yeah.
- Well...
- But who?
I'll be Manhattan game stop.
Your body guard/camera operator.
- I'm kind of into it.
Yeah, let's do it.
- Okay, sure.
- All right
Manhattan game man hat and your name...
Hey, Hey, what's your name?
- Manhattan game stop.
- That's right.
Vango, what's his name?
- It's Manhattan game stop,
it's a (censored) dumb name.
- Well, I think it's a great name.
Let's do this!
- Excellent.
All right.
- Nobody else is gonna have fake names?
(laughing)
- Look, I can't 'cause I've already, yeah,
I'll have the same name I guess.
But, okay, I'll have the same name.
- I will be G-na spelled G-N-A.
- Love it.
- Sine, S-I-N-E.
- Ooh.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
- That's a great Cyberpunk name.
- Thanks.
(laughs)
- You think people with Cyberpunk future
would just stand around saying,
Hey, that's a good Cyberpunk (mumbles).
(laughing)
- I hope so.
I don't wanna live there.
- Now Manhattan game stop, what's my name?
- I just stare off into space
because I don't recognize being called
this get Manhattan game stop yet.
(laughing)
- That's probably good enough,
if he's not responding that means he's not
implicating us in any sort of lies.
So...
- Yeah, okay.
- Take what I can get.
- Manhattan game stop, just be the strong,
silent type for this one, okay?
Don't try to make friends with anyone,
just kinda keep it how you always do.
- Please don't try to
make friends with anyone.
- Please, for once in your goddamn life,
don't try to make friends with anyone.
- I can't make any promises,
but I know how upset it would make you
if I mess this up for you.
So I'm gonna try.
- Thank you.
- I walk immediately to the front door
and I try to open it.
I assume it's locked
into that I knock on it.
- I'm running after him.
(laughing)
- Yeah, there's a pause from inside
and you hear like some shuffling
and somebody walks through the door
and the door swings
open and you see a woman
who does not look like
she's wearing any makeup.
She just has like a very plain face
with like a lot of freckles on it.
And she opened the doors and she says,
Hey guys, welcome to M house.
And that's where the episode ends.
(upbeat music)
