My best guess is that the last part was the Money Maker program, which somehow recognized Togusa's favour of giving the old man a coin for ferryman, and then the program returned the favor by buying favorable stocks..

The fact that it is Serano Genomics could be coincidence.

Loved the design of Fem's money gun. The way she reloaded with her thumb was so cool.

The ending is a nice mystery. I hope that gets explained.

That Moneymaker Program is exactly the type of thing you don't want the government to get a hold of. All the gold bars aren't so bad because at least that is accountable.

Great stand alone episode this one. The banter between Batou and the others is subtle but funny as hell. And once more we get to see Motoko being irritated at the Tachikoma's personality. It's ironic that as a cyborg, she's less forgiving of their playfulness than her more human colleagues.

Good episode. I missed more character on the assassin, it was too shallow.

The program in the end... Of two one:
- the moneymaker AI bought the stock in consideration of Togusa, who knew a lot about him and considering the series, it's an easy to reach statement. The stock being from Genomics may represent coincidence or a growing in their value, forecasting the laughing man maybe?

- the laughing man plans. it's something mere mortals can only wait for
Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts.
Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you?
Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!!

that ending :eyes:.

I was thinking maybe he's secretly the heir of that money making program guy! He *did* know lots about him! He said it was because he read an interview with him or something but... what if! :eyes:

"Why are you dressed like that? Are you trying to get my attention?"
Oh so now you are asking that??? Come on Chief you must be used by Major's wardrobe by now, XD.

And hell yes Motoko keeps proving to be the best, most pro girl ever, Tachikoma is still second best even when a bit naive and troublesome. Hehe, so cute.

Batou was so funny.
And I'm a bit worried about Togusa... Spooky PC!

Fem's mission that got her caught as an assassin was to kill a man who was already dead. Talk about some dramatic irony.
