1. Like a cruel angel
Copy !req
2. Become a legend, young boy
Copy !req
3. When a blue wind
Knocks on the door to your heart
Copy !req
4. You just gaze back at me
And smile oh so gently
Copy !req
5. So eager for something
You touch so softly
Copy !req
6. Those innocent eyes
Know nothing of the fate that awaits
Copy !req
7. But one day, you will realize
That upon your back
Copy !req
8. You have wings
You can fly to the faraway future
Copy !req
9. The cruel angel's thesis
Copy !req
10. One day, you'll take off through a window
Copy !req
11. If your overflowing pathos
Copy !req
12. Leads you to betray your memories
Copy !req
13. Then embrace the heavens and shine bright
Copy !req
14. Become legend, young boy
Copy !req
15. Yay! I won, I won!
Copy !req
16. 24-HOUR COIN LAUNDROMAT
Copy !req
17. The amount of money I spend
at the cleaners is murder on my budget.
Copy !req
18. It would be nice to have
enough time to do my own laundry.
Copy !req
19. At least we get to go home
every once in a while.
Copy !req
20. TRAIN ARRIVING
Copy !req
21. THE NIHON KEIZAI SHIMBUN
Copy !req
22. Oh, hello, Deputy Commander.
Copy !req
23. Good morning.
Copy !req
24. Good morning, sir!
Copy !req
25. Good morning.
Copy !req
26. Coming in early today, sir?
Copy !req
27. I was topside on Ikari's behalf.
Copy !req
28. Oh, today was the regular session
of the council, wasn't it?
Copy !req
29. Pointless busy work...
Copy !req
30. Ikari has always dumped
the meaningless drivel in my lap.
Copy !req
31. If it weren't for the Magi,
I don't know what we would do.
Copy !req
32. That reminds me, the city council
election is coming up, isn't it?
Copy !req
33. The city council is a charade.
Copy !req
34. All city administration is effectively
in the hands of the Magi.
Copy !req
35. The Magi?
The three supercomputers do that, sir?
Copy !req
36. Majority rule via three
interlinked computer systems.
Copy !req
37. It's a system that's in precise
accordance with democratic principles.
Copy !req
38. So the city assembly
just rubber stamps their decisions?
Copy !req
39. It's the most efficient,
least wasteful form of governance.
Copy !req
40. A true city of science.
Copy !req
41. We're in an age when science
can solve all our problems!
Copy !req
42. Wow, what a cliché...
Copy !req
43. Right, you have Unit 00's
trials today, don't you?
Copy !req
44. Yes, sir. Starting at 1030 hours,
Copy !req
45. we'll be conducting stage two
active time extension tests.
Copy !req
46. Here's hoping for good news.
Copy !req
47. Abort test. Cut all circuits.
Copy !req
48. - Switch over all circuits!
- Power coming back online.
Copy !req
49. - That's definitely where the problem is.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
50. The conversion efficiency is 0.008
below theoretical values somehow.
Copy !req
51. It's barely enough to register on
our instruments. What do we do?
Copy !req
52. Lower the interconversion value by 0.01
and try it again with the same settings.
Copy !req
53. Roger.
Copy !req
54. All right, let's start
the reactivation test.
Copy !req
55. Hey! Hold that elevator!
Copy !req
56. Damn.
Copy !req
57. Wow, I really had to book it!
Copy !req
58. Someone woke up on the wrong side
of the bed today.
Copy !req
59. Because I saw your ugly mug
first thing in the morning.
Copy !req
60. One moment, please.
Copy !req
61. What is it?
Copy !req
62. - Uh... Father...
- What? Out with it.
Copy !req
63. Uh... The thing is...
Copy !req
64. They told us at school today
to tell our parents...
Copy !req
65. that our future plans meetings
are coming up.
Copy !req
66. I put Katsuragi in charge of all that.
Copy !req
67. Don't waste my time with this nonsense.
Copy !req
68. Don't put through calls from—
Copy !req
69. - Huh?
- A power outage?
Copy !req
70. No, that's impossible.
Copy !req
71. That's strange.
Was there some kind of accident?
Copy !req
72. Maybe Akagi botched another experiment.
Copy !req
73. Main power feed has stopped!
Voltage is zero!
Copy !req
74. I-It wasn't me.
Copy !req
75. What do you think happened?
Copy !req
76. Whatever happened,
the backups will kick in soon.
Copy !req
77. No go! Backup circuits not coming online!
Copy !req
78. Impossible! How many circuits
are still working?
Copy !req
79. Just 1.2% in all, sir! Only the old
circuits past no. 2567 are operating!
Copy !req
80. Route all available power towards
maintaining the Magi and Central Dogma!
Copy !req
81. That will disrupt life support
throughout the complex, sir.
Copy !req
82. Do it! Give it top priority!
Copy !req
83. PUSH-BUTTON TRAFFIC LIGHT
Copy !req
84. Man, I can't believe how big
a slacker Ms. Katsuragi is.
Copy !req
85. She should at least go pick up
her own laundry.
Copy !req
86. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE!
Copy !req
87. Huh?
Copy !req
88. Maybe Commander Ikari
was just really busy.
Copy !req
89. I don't know. It seemed more like
a malfunction than him hanging up.
Copy !req
90. Sheesh, grow a pair.
Stop worrying about every little thing.
Copy !req
91. Huh?
Copy !req
92. What are you doing? Come on, let me do it!
Copy !req
93. Damn it, this stupid thing must be broken!
Copy !req
94. Let's hurry to the command center.
The power's been out for seven minutes!
Copy !req
95. - Something major is going on.
- What's your power setup here?
Copy !req
96. Triple-redundant:
Main, auxiliary, and backup.
Copy !req
97. It's inconceivable for all three
to fail at the same time.
Copy !req
98. Which means...
Copy !req
99. We should assume that the breaker
didn't trip, but was rather thrown.
Copy !req
100. Whatever the cause, if an Angel
attacks now, we're in trouble.
Copy !req
101. Tracking radar has picked up
an unidentified object!
Copy !req
102. Estimated point of landfall
is the former Atami region!
Copy !req
103. It must be the eighth one.
Copy !req
104. - Yes, it's probably an Angel.
- What should we do?
Copy !req
105. Raise the alert status of all forces.
That's the protocol.
Copy !req
106. That thing is probably
going after Tokyo-3 again.
Copy !req
107. You're probably right. Well,
there's nothing that we can do about it.
Copy !req
108. - Angel has made landfall!
- Continuing inland!
Copy !req
109. Anything from Tokyo-3?
Copy !req
110. Still nothing, sir.
Copy !req
111. What the hell is Nerv up to?
Copy !req
112. I thought this gangway ladder
was just a retro decoration.
Copy !req
113. I never imagined
we'd actually have to use it.
Copy !req
114. As they say, "To prepare is to prevent."
Copy !req
115. This one isn't working, either.
Copy !req
116. None of the equipment is. This is strange.
Copy !req
117. Does that mean something
happened down below?
Copy !req
118. That would be the natural assumption.
Copy !req
119. Let's try to call Nerv HQ, then.
Copy !req
120. It's no use.
Even the emergency line is dead.
Copy !req
121. No go, sir. Even line 77
isn't getting through.
Copy !req
122. No luck. I can't get through.
Copy !req
123. Me, neither. Even the emergency
hardwired line is down.
Copy !req
124. What should we do?
Copy !req
125. What are you doing?
Copy !req
126. Are you an idiot? I'm looking
for my emergency manual!
Copy !req
127. Let's try to get to HQ.
Copy !req
128. Agreed. So let's settle on
a group leader before we set out.
Copy !req
129. I'm the natural choice for leader.
There are no objections?
Copy !req
130. Right, let's go!
Copy !req
131. We can go down through
Route No. 7 over here.
Copy !req
132. But if the doors aren't working, how...
Copy !req
133. A manual release...
Copy !req
134. Okay, Shinji! Time to do your thing.
Copy !req
135. You only turn to me for help
at times like this!
Copy !req
136. The Joint Chief Council only turns
to field commanders at times like this!
Copy !req
137. What's the government saying?
Copy !req
138. The civilians in Tokyo-2?
Packing their bags, from what I hear.
Copy !req
139. PREVENT MOUNTAIN FIRES
Copy !req
140. Angel is still active and advancing!
Copy !req
141. In any case, we need to
get in touch with Nerv.
Copy !req
142. But how?
Copy !req
143. We go in person.
Copy !req
144. This is the Third District
Air Defense Force.
Copy !req
145. An unknown object is currently
approaching this location.
Copy !req
146. All residents, proceed to
your designated shelters.
Copy !req
147. Oh, crap!
I have to let HQ know about this!
Copy !req
148. But how?
Copy !req
149. Vote Takahashi, the candidate who
keeps his cool even in emergencies!
Copy !req
150. Vote Nozoku Takahashi for city assembly!
Copy !req
151. What a lucky break!
Copy !req
152. Boy, it's getting hot in here.
Copy !req
153. Yeah, the ventilation is shut down.
Copy !req
154. Katsuragi, if the heat's getting to you,
just take off your shirt.
Copy !req
155. It's nothing I haven't seen before.
Copy !req
156. I don't care what kind of mess we're in,
don't get any funny ideas.
Copy !req
157. Fine...
Copy !req
158. This is bad. The air is getting stale.
Copy !req
159. This is a facility that's pushed the
boundaries of modern science, but now—
Copy !req
160. Look at the Commander
and Deputy Commander, though.
Copy !req
161. This heat isn't getting to them at all.
Copy !req
162. - This water is lukewarm.
- Yes.
Copy !req
163. Due to the special state of emergency
declared in this district,
Copy !req
164. please make way for
this emergency vehicle!
Copy !req
165. - Um, this is a dead end!
- Just blow through it!
Copy !req
166. - Like you said, this is an emergency!
- Roger that!
Copy !req
167. Enough! Please stop!
Copy !req
168. This Geo-front was designed to be
a colony capable of sustaining itself
Copy !req
169. even if completely cut off
from the outside.
Copy !req
170. It's theoretically impossible for all
of its power systems to go down.
Copy !req
171. Which means this blackout is deliberate.
Copy !req
172. Their objective is probably
to study this place.
Copy !req
173. Infer HQ's structure by observing
how we restore our power?
Copy !req
174. What annoying troublemakers.
Copy !req
175. I'll have the Magi run decoy programs.
Copy !req
176. That should help obscure
the overall picture.
Copy !req
177. - Make it so.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
178. To think that HQ would be compromised
for the first time by humans, not Angels.
Copy !req
179. It's difficult to swallow.
Copy !req
180. In the end, man's greatest enemy
is his fellow man.
Copy !req
181. It usually only takes two minutes.
Is this the right corridor?
Copy !req
182. Once we reach that light up there,
I'm sure we'll be at the Geo-front.
Copy !req
183. That's the fourth time you've said that.
Copy !req
184. You're such a nitpicker, you know that?
Copy !req
185. You get hung up on every little detail!
Copy !req
186. - Be quiet.
- Was that an order, Miss Perfect?
Copy !req
187. I hear a voice.
Copy !req
188. It's Mr. Hyuga!
Copy !req
189. Hey!
Copy !req
190. An Angel is coming!
I repeat, an Angel is coming!
Copy !req
191. An Angel is coming?
Copy !req
192. There's no time to waste.
Let's take a shortcut.
Copy !req
193. Hey, I'm the leader here!
Don't boss me around!
Copy !req
194. So, where's this shortcut?
Copy !req
195. I don't care if this is a shortcut,
this is so degrading...
Copy !req
196. Say, what do you think the Angels are?
Copy !req
197. Why are you bringing that up now?
Copy !req
198. Angels. Messengers of God.
Copy !req
199. Our enemies, bearing divine names.
Why are we fighting each other?
Copy !req
200. Don't be an idiot!
Copy !req
201. Those freaky things are attacking us!
Copy !req
202. When you're attacked,
it's only natural to defend yourself!
Copy !req
203. The right.
Copy !req
204. I think it's the one to the left.
Copy !req
205. Who cares what you think?
Copy !req
206. How about you, Shinji?
Copy !req
207. Uh..
Copy !req
208. I don't know.
Copy !req
209. Sheesh! I'm the leader here,
so keep your mouth shut and follow me!
Copy !req
210. I knew this wasn't right.
We're going up, not down.
Copy !req
211. You knew that, did you?
You nag and nag about everything.
Copy !req
212. See? This has to be
the right one this time.
Copy !req
213. We have visual confirmation of the Angel.
Now we know that we have to hurry.
Copy !req
214. An Angel is currently closing in!
Recommend immediate Eva launch!
Copy !req
215. This is bad!
Copy !req
216. Take care of things here, Fuyutsuki.
Copy !req
217. Ikari?
Copy !req
218. I'll go to the cage to get the Eva
launch preparations underway.
Copy !req
219. Hold on... Surely not manually.
Copy !req
220. There are emergency diesel generators.
Copy !req
221. Yes, but...
Copy !req
222. What we don't have right now
are the pilots.
Copy !req
223. This again...
Copy !req
224. This way.
Copy !req
225. So, I hear that you're
Commander Ikari's favorite.
Copy !req
226. Being his favorite makes you special,
right, Miss Perfect?
Copy !req
227. Come on, this isn't the time.
Copy !req
228. That's why you stay calm
and composed all the time.
Copy !req
229. Hey! Don't look down on me
just because you get special treatment!
Copy !req
230. I don't look down on you.
Copy !req
231. Plus, I don't get special treatment.
Copy !req
232. I would know.
Copy !req
233. Heave ho! Heave ho!
Copy !req
234. Roger. Shutdown signal plug
extraction complete.
Copy !req
235. Very well. Prepare all three
entry plugs for insertion.
Copy !req
236. But we still don't have any pilots—
Copy !req
237. Don't worry. Those kids will be here.
Copy !req
238. This one can't be opened by hand.
Copy !req
239. We have no choice. Let's break open
a duct and keep going through there.
Copy !req
240. The First sure is scary.
Copy !req
241. She's the sort who thinks
the ends justify the means.
Copy !req
242. A real holier-than-thou type.
Copy !req
243. - Plug ready and locked in position.
- Now we just need the children.
Copy !req
244. Keep your eyes down! Straight down!
Copy !req
245. If you look up, you're a dead man!
Copy !req
246. Idiot! Jerk! Jerk!
Copy !req
247. I told you not to look!
Copy !req
248. Like I have a choice!
How can I move if I don't look?
Copy !req
249. There you are!
Copy !req
250. All units, prepare for entry!
Copy !req
251. Roger. Open the hatches manually.
Copy !req
252. How are the Evas?
Copy !req
253. Ready and standing by.
Copy !req
254. But nothing is working.
Copy !req
255. We did it by hand.
Copy !req
256. It was the Commander's idea.
Copy !req
257. Father's?
Copy !req
258. He got them ready because he
had faith that you would come.
Copy !req
259. Plugs inserted.
Copy !req
260. All units activated using auxiliary power.
Copy !req
261. Remove lockdown bolt no. 01.
Copy !req
262. Releasing hydraulic locks two through 32!
Copy !req
263. Pressure, zero! They're standing free!
Copy !req
264. All units, force your way free
of your restraining frames.
Copy !req
265. Launch immediately!
Copy !req
266. Target has come to a stop
directly overhead!
Copy !req
267. Hook them up right away!
Copy !req
268. Emergency batteries have been attached!
Copy !req
269. Right, we're good to go! Launch!
Copy !req
270. Come on, this is so degrading!
Copy !req
271. We're coming up to the shaft.
Copy !req
272. This is even more degrading!
Copy !req
273. This is bad. Take cover.
Copy !req
274. Ew!
Copy !req
275. The target's goal must be get into HQ
by using a powerful corrosive agent.
Copy !req
276. - So what should we do?
- What else? We take it out!
Copy !req
277. I know, but how?
Copy !req
278. We dropped our rifles,
and our battery backpacks are drained.
Copy !req
279. We'll be immobile in three more minutes.
Copy !req
280. Listen up, I have a plan.
Copy !req
281. One of us stays here as Defense.
Copy !req
282. It neutralizes the target's A.T. Field
and protects Offense from its acid.
Copy !req
283. Support heads down.
Copy !req
284. It retrieves a rifle,
then passes it up to Offense.
Copy !req
285. Offense then fires a volley
and destroys the target.
Copy !req
286. Everybody got that?
Copy !req
287. Okay. I'll be Defense.
Copy !req
288. Sorry, but no.
Copy !req
289. - I'll be Defense.
- You can't! It's too dangerous!
Copy !req
290. That's exactly why.
Copy !req
291. It wouldn't feel right if I didn't
repay you for saving my life earlier.
Copy !req
292. Shinji is Offense.
Miss Perfect, you're Support.
Copy !req
293. Got it?
Copy !req
294. Understood.
Copy !req
295. Okay, let's do this!
Copy !req
296. Los geht's!
Copy !req
297. Ayanami!
Copy !req
298. Asuka! Get clear!
Copy !req
299. Okay, this makes us even.
Copy !req
300. Damn! Why won't this stupid thing open?
Copy !req
301. This is an emergency!
My bladder's about to explode!
Copy !req
302. Hey! I told you not to look up!
Copy !req
303. Yeah, yeah...
Copy !req
304. Hey! Watch it!
Copy !req
305. How indecent.
Copy !req
306. I had no idea the stars
were this pretty without electricity.
Copy !req
307. Without artificial light.
Copy !req
308. It's ironic.
Copy !req
309. Yeah, well, without those lights,
the place look deserted.
Copy !req
310. See? You feel safer this way.
Copy !req
311. Man fears the darkness, and so he
scrapes away at the edges of it with fire.
Copy !req
312. Ooh, how profound!
Copy !req
313. I wonder if that's what makes
humanity special.
Copy !req
314. Maybe that's why
the Angels are attacking us.
Copy !req
315. Don't be an idiot!
How can we know something like that?
Copy !req
316. TO BE CONTINUED
Copy !req
317. Misato has made it her mission
to destroy the Angels.
Copy !req
318. She discusses her past.
Copy !req
319. But when the largest Angel to date
attacks from the stratosphere,
Copy !req
320. it makes everyone abandon hope.
Copy !req
321. Next episode! "A Miracle's Worth".
Copy !req
322. Watch it with your friends, okay?
