[last lines]
Cortez : [in Grey having her cornered at gunpoint] Grey, this isn't you.
Grey Trace : [Stem speaking through Grey in having taken over his body] Grey's not here anymore. He's in a better place... in his mind, where he wants to be. I've taken over now. A fake world is a lot less painful than the real one. All I needed was for his mind to break, and he broke it.
Cortez : [sobbing and shaking her head] No.
Grey Trace : [as Stem is still speaking through Grey, and as Cortez grimaces in bracing for Grey's gunshot, which kills her] Goodbye.
[the scene shifts several times between the aftermath of Grey shooting Cortez, to Grey in his mind in the fake world, the latter where he is lying in a hospital bed while Asha comforts him]
-
Grey Trace : See, you thought I was a cripple but you didn't know that I'm a ninja.
Stem : While I am state of the art, I am not a ninja.
-
Grey Trace : Stem, he's got a knife!
Stem : [calmly] I see that. We have a knife, too.
[Grey, under Stem's control, takes the knife from the assailant and stabs him]
-
Stem : It does not make sense that humans deliberately malfunction.
Grey Trace : Yeah, that's because your memories are filled with ones and zeros, pal, and our memories are filled with every fuck-up we've ever made.
-
Grey Trace : [while being choked] Help!
Stem : I need your permission to operate independently.
Grey Trace : Permission granted.
[Stem takes control and fights the assailant]
-
Jamie : Sorry, I can't let them win.
Grey Trace : Who's them?
-
Stem : May I point something out?
Grey Trace : Hello? Okay, who's saying that?
Stem : I am Stem. The system operating your body for you. Don't be afraid.
Grey Trace : [finally taking a breath, terrified] You fuckin' kidding me?
Stem : [in a deadpan tone] No.
Grey Trace : I've lost my mind. I've gone insane. I'm fucking insane.
Stem : Your medical records indicated you with a mild case of PTSD, but you are not "insane".
Grey Trace : [confused] So what? Y-you've just been there this whole time?
Stem : Since the completion of the operation. I have been observing everything you've observed.
Grey Trace : D-do you have to talk?
Stem : If you want me to, I do not have to.
Grey Trace : Okay, then yeah, don't talk.
-
Grey Trace : Stem, what do you think I should do?
Stem : Move Grey!
-
Grey Trace : Here's the thing, four guys murdered my wife. If I could find those men, I'd do it.
-
Asha Trace : Well, I have work to do, so I can't.
Grey Trace : *Can't* lives on *Won't* Street, lady.
-
Grey Trace : [as he struggles for control against Stem and not wanting to kill Cortez] You are not in control...!
[points the gun to his neck where the Stem chip is supposed to be, about to pull the trigger]
Grey Trace : ...I AM!

[Grey is fixing up a classic muscle car. Getting behind the wheel, he, with a pensive look on his face, turns the key in the ignition, and the engine successfully turns over as he revs it, he then turning the engine off]
Grey Trace : [placing his hands firmly on the dashboard] I love you.
