[Alita looks at a picture of Ido's daughter]
Alita:
This was your daughter? You built this body for her?
Dr. Dyson Ido:
Her name was Alita. She was really looking forward to waking up with legs that could run.
Alita:
You built her a pair of fast legs.
Dr. Dyson Ido:
She never got to use them. She was murdered.
Alita:
What happened?
[pause]
Dr. Dyson Ido:
A patient of mine came to the clinic one night, looking for drugs. I was a tuner for the Motorball games, and I had made a machine body for him of obscene strength. He was my demon coming back to me.
[flashback shows the cyborg knocking Ido's daughter off her wheelchair before running away]
Dr. Dyson Ido:
Alita couldn't get out of the way fast enough. Her mother, Chiren, couldn't deal with Alita's death. Maybe she just couldn't deal with me. So I went hunting. I needed to kill him. Maybe I was just hoping that he would kill me. It brought no peace. There were other demons like him out there and I felt, somehow, I was responsible for all of them. So I registered as a Hunter-Warrior. There's nothing noble about it.
Alita:
Did you ever find peace?
Dr. Dyson Ido:
I found you.
Alita:
I'm not your daughter.
[pause]
Alita:
I don't know what I am.
Dr. Dyson Ido:
I do. Have a look at your original cyber-core. This is your brain. A normal, healthy teenage girl's brain, if there is such a thing. But this is your heart. Part of your original core, powered by an Anti-Matter Micro-Reactor.
Alita:
So I've got a strong heart?
Dr. Dyson Ido:
[chuckles]
You have a heart strong enough to power all of Iron City for years. This is lost technology. Nobody's made this stuff since... before The Fall.
Alita:
[chuckles]
Yeah, right. So I'm 300 years old?
Dr. Dyson Ido:
Sweetheart, you are.
