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. It's eating the Angel...
Copy !req
16. It's using brute force
to break free of our control.
Copy !req
17. We humans can no longer keep
that Eva under our control.
Copy !req
18. The awakening and liberation of Unit 01...
Copy !req
19. Seele won't take this lying down.
Copy !req
20. The Eva series aren't meant to be able
to generate an S2 Drive on their own.
Copy !req
21. Who could have predicted an Eva could
assimilate an S2 Drive in such manner.
Copy !req
22. This turn of events is in no way
part of Seele's scenario!
Copy !req
23. Compensating for this
will be no small task.
Copy !req
24. Perhaps entrusting Nerv
to Gendoh Ikari, to that man,
Copy !req
25. was a mistake in the first place.
Copy !req
26. But if it were not for that man, we could
not have set any of our plans in motion.
Copy !req
27. Ikari, what are you thinking?
Copy !req
28. It's begun, hasn't it?
Copy !req
29. Yes. It all starts now.
Copy !req
30. The damage to the two Evas
is well beyond the Hayflick limit.
Copy !req
31. It's going to be a while before things
get back to the way they were.
Copy !req
32. Fortunately, the Magi System
is designed to be transferable.
Copy !req
33. We can start work as early as tomorrow.
Copy !req
34. But this place is a total loss.
Copy !req
35. It's only a matter of time
before they decide to condemn it.
Copy !req
36. I agree.
Copy !req
37. In the meantime,
Copy !req
38. we'll have to make do with this, the
backup Secondary Command Center.
Copy !req
39. Even without the Magi?
Copy !req
40. Yes.
Copy !req
41. We'll dust off the cobwebs
and get down to work this afternoon.
Copy !req
42. The chairs are hard,
and the sensors aren't responsive.
Copy !req
43. We can't be as productive
as we were before.
Copy !req
44. This place's layout is identical to
our old First Command Center, but still...
Copy !req
45. Yes, it feels off somehow.
Copy !req
46. All that matters now
is that it's operational.
Copy !req
47. The big question
is whether or not Unit 01 is.
Copy !req
48. Will restraining it
using the cage be enough?
Copy !req
49. We're not detecting any thermal,
electrical, EM,
Copy !req
50. or chemical energy readings
from inside it.
Copy !req
51. The S2 Drive is completely inert.
Copy !req
52. That hasn't stopped Unit 01 from
coming to life three times in the past.
Copy !req
53. We can't fiddle around with it
based only on what we can see.
Copy !req
54. There's no telling what it might do to us
if we start poking at it blindly.
Copy !req
55. Just like you, Major Katsuragi.
Copy !req
56. Sorry, ma'am.
Copy !req
57. Unit 01 isn't our only problem, though.
Copy !req
58. Indeed. Units 00 and 02
are severely damaged.
Copy !req
59. Nerv headquarters, partially destroyed.
The Central Dogma lies exposed.
Copy !req
60. This damage is catastrophic!
Copy !req
61. There is no telling how much time
and money this has cost us.
Copy !req
62. This happened because there is
no bell around Ikari's neck.
Copy !req
63. - We put one there. It just didn't ring.
- A bell that doesn't ring is meaningless.
Copy !req
64. We'll make the bell take action next time.
Copy !req
65. My, my. This is certainly
an unexpected development, isn't it?
Copy !req
66. How are you going to explain this
to the Council? To Seele, rather.
Copy !req
67. At the time,
Unit 01 was not under our control.
Copy !req
68. This was an unfortunate accident.
Copy !req
69. As such, Unit 01 is grounded.
Until further orders from the Council.
Copy !req
70. An appropriate response. However...
Copy !req
71. Is your son still absorbed into it?
Copy !req
72. No luck, ma'am. It's not accepting
the plug ejection signal.
Copy !req
73. - The backup and simulated signals?
- Also rejected, ma'am.
Copy !req
74. Direct control circuits
won't connect, either.
Copy !req
75. I've patched into
the plug's visual circuit.
Copy !req
76. Putting it on the main screen.
Copy !req
77. What in... the hell?
Copy !req
78. This is what a synchronization rate
of 400% looks like.
Copy !req
79. What do you mean?
What the hell happened to Shinji?
Copy !req
80. He's been assimilated into Eva-01.
Copy !req
81. What's that even mean?
What the hell are the Evas?
Copy !req
82. They can only be described as objects
similar in shape to a human
Copy !req
83. that was created by humans.
Copy !req
84. "Created by humans"?
Copy !req
85. All you did was copy something
you found in Antarctica!
Copy !req
86. Don't even try to claim they're originals.
Copy !req
87. They're not just a simple copy.
They've been given human will.
Copy !req
88. - You're saying this is somebody's will?
- Perhaps the Eva has—
Copy !req
89. Fix this, damn it!
Copy !req
90. You built the things, didn't you?
Whatever it takes, make this right!
Copy !req
91. The government and Home Ministry
both officially deny
Copy !req
92. any involvement in the incident
at the Spratly Islands.
Copy !req
93. In other news, today marks one month
Copy !req
94. since the Tokyo-2
terrorist attack by a leftist,
Copy !req
95. and the SSDF briefed the press
on a mop-up operation to...
Copy !req
96. I'm still alive.
Copy !req
97. Fine, so she was alive!
Copy !req
98. I don't need you to call
and bother me with that crap, Misato!
Copy !req
99. I couldn't... I couldn't do
a damn thing to stop it.
Copy !req
100. That Idiot Shinji upstaged me again!
Copy !req
101. I hate this!
Copy !req
102. A salvage operation to recover Shinji?
Copy !req
103. Yes, the lifeform that we call
"Shinji" still exists.
Copy !req
104. Is that respect for human life I hear?
Copy !req
105. Losing Shinji now is out of the question.
Copy !req
106. I'll just bet. It's not Shinji's life
that Nerv is interested in.
Copy !req
107. They don't want to lose Unit 01 as a tool.
Copy !req
108. I won't deny that.
Copy !req
109. We hypothesize that Shinji's body
has lost its ego boundary delineation
Copy !req
110. and he's drifting in the entry plug
in a quantum state.
Copy !req
111. You're saying that Shinji's
been transformed into a state
Copy !req
112. that we can't detect visually?
Copy !req
113. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
114. The makeup of the LCL in the entry plug
has undergone a chemical change.
Copy !req
115. It's now very similar
to seawater on primitive Earth.
Copy !req
116. The primordial soup, huh?
Copy !req
117. All the matter that comprises Shinji
is still preserved within the plug,
Copy !req
118. and what can be called his soul
is also still there.
Copy !req
119. The proof is that his mental self-image
is manifesting a facsimile of his suit.
Copy !req
120. So by "salvage operation,"
we mean reconstituting his body
Copy !req
121. and affixing his psyche inside it.
Copy !req
122. - Is that even possible?
- With the Magi's support, yes.
Copy !req
123. Theoretically, you mean.
You won't actually know until you try.
Copy !req
124. What is this? Where am I?
Copy !req
125. An entry plug? Unit 01's.
Copy !req
126. But there's nobody in it. I'm not in it.
Copy !req
127. What is this?
Copy !req
128. I don't understand.
Copy !req
129. Who are these people?
Copy !req
130. Oh. These are the people I know.
The people who know me.
Copy !req
131. Oh, I get it. This is everything
that makes up my world.
Copy !req
132. What's this?
Copy !req
133. This is supposed to be my world,
but I'm not sure what this is.
Copy !req
134. A projection from outside.
A projection I don't like.
Copy !req
135. Oh, right! It's an enemy!
Copy !req
136. Enemy!
Copy !req
137. Our enemies! Things we call Angels
that bear divine names.
Copy !req
138. The Evas' target... Nerv's target!
Copy !req
139. The things that killed Misato's father!
Copy !req
140. Why am I fighting them?
When it means going through this...
Copy !req
141. Don't be an idiot!
Copy !req
142. Those freaky things are attacking us!
Copy !req
143. When you're attacked,
it's only natural to defend yourself!
Copy !req
144. Maybe we don't need a reason.
Maybe I shouldn't think about it.
Copy !req
145. Enemy!
Copy !req
146. They're all my enemies!
Copy !req
147. Anything that threatens me is an enemy!
Anything that threatens us!
Copy !req
148. She's right! What's wrong with
defending yourself? Defending ourselves?
Copy !req
149. Enemy!
Copy !req
150. My enemy!
Copy !req
151. Damn you!
Copy !req
152. You hurt Tohji! You murdered Mother!
Copy !req
153. Father!
Copy !req
154. Why do you hate your father?
Copy !req
155. Why wouldn't I hate a father like him?
Copy !req
156. Don't you know your father?
Copy !req
157. How could I? I hardly ever see him.
Copy !req
158. - Is that why you hate him?
- Yes!
Copy !req
159. He doesn't want me! He abandoned me!
Copy !req
160. Am I your substitute?
Copy !req
161. Yes, you are! That has to be it!
Copy !req
162. I was cast aside because he has you!
Copy !req
163. You were the one who decided to run away.
Copy !req
164. Shut up!
Copy !req
165. It's all Father's fault!
Copy !req
166. I came to Nerv that day
to tell him that I hated him!
Copy !req
167. Are you saying to get into this and have
terrifying things happen to me, Father?
Copy !req
168. - Correct.
- What?
Copy !req
169. No, I don't want to do that!
What are you saying?
Copy !req
170. I thought you left me
because you didn't need me!
Copy !req
171. I do now, so I sent for you.
Copy !req
172. But why me?
Copy !req
173. Because it's impossible for anyone else.
Copy !req
174. It is for me, too. I've never seen
or heard of this thing before.
Copy !req
175. I can't possibly do it!
Copy !req
176. No, I recognized the Eva.
Copy !req
177. That's right! I recognized this Eva!
Copy !req
178. And on that day, I ran away!
From Father and Mother!
Copy !req
179. LCL temperature holding steady at 38°C.
Oxygen levels are green.
Copy !req
180. Radiated EM pulse function, nominal.
Wave pattern is Bravo.
Copy !req
181. All monitoring instrumentation
is functioning normally.
Copy !req
182. A salvage operation outline...
Copy !req
183. Only you could have put this together
in just one month, Senpai.
Copy !req
184. I wish I could take the credit,
but it's not my proposal.
Copy !req
185. This data is from experiments
conducted ten years ago.
Copy !req
186. Something like this happened before?
During the Evas' development?
Copy !req
187. It happened before I joined Nerv.
Copy !req
188. My mother witnessed it firsthand,
but I only know about it from our files.
Copy !req
189. What happened
when they tried the procedure?
Copy !req
190. They failed, apparently.
Copy !req
191. So much kindness... It's so warm.
Copy !req
192. Is this what human warmth feels like?
Copy !req
193. I had no idea.
Copy !req
194. What does "lonely" mean?
Copy !req
195. I never understood it before,
but now I think I do.
Copy !req
196. What does "happy" mean?
Copy !req
197. I never understood it before,
but now I think I do.
Copy !req
198. Are they kind to you? Other people?
Copy !req
199. - Yeah.
- Why is that?
Copy !req
200. Because I'm an Eva pilot.
Copy !req
201. They take care of me
because I pilot the Eva!
Copy !req
202. That's what lets me stay here.
It's the only reason they put up with me.
Copy !req
203. - That's why I need to pilot the Eva.
- And then what?
Copy !req
204. And fight. Right, I need to fight
the things they say are our enemies!
Copy !req
205. And then what?
Copy !req
206. I need to win.
Copy !req
207. Right, I can't lose...
Copy !req
208. I have to do as I'm told
and pilot the Eva.
Copy !req
209. I have to do as I'm told and fight!
Copy !req
210. That's the only way... people will say...
Copy !req
211. - Keep it up.
- Do your best.
Copy !req
212. What are you doing? Get your act together!
Copy !req
213. Kick some ass!
Copy !req
214. Keep it up!
Copy !req
215. Well done, Shinji.
Copy !req
216. Ms. Misato and Ms. Ritsuko and Asuka
Copy !req
217. and Tohji and Kensuke and Father,
Copy !req
218. they all praise me!
Copy !req
219. They praise me when I pilot the Eva!
Copy !req
220. They all tell me to pilot it!
Copy !req
221. I'm going to impress Father.
The Father that abandoned me!
Copy !req
222. Keep it up.
Copy !req
223. I'm trying! I'm trying my hardest...
Copy !req
224. So, somebody, be kind to me...
Copy !req
225. I've fought so hard!
I'm fighting as hard as I can!
Copy !req
226. So take care of me! Be kind to me!
Copy !req
227. I am kind to you.
Copy !req
228. Shinji? Do you want to become one with me?
Copy !req
229. Do you want to become one, body and soul?
Copy !req
230. It's something that feels
really, really good.
Copy !req
231. I'm ready, Shinji.
I'm always ready for you.
Copy !req
232. Hey, Idiot Shinji. Do you want
to become one with me?
Copy !req
233. Do you want to become one, body and soul?
Copy !req
234. It's something that feels
really, really good.
Copy !req
235. This is me who's asking, okay?
So get your butt over here.
Copy !req
236. Shinji, do you want to become one with me?
Copy !req
237. Do you want to become one, body and soul?
Copy !req
238. It's something that feels
really, really good, Shinji.
Copy !req
239. Do you want to become one with me?
Copy !req
240. Do you want to become one, body and soul?
Copy !req
241. It's something that feels
really, really good.
Copy !req
242. Come on, relax. Just let your heart go.
Copy !req
243. All probes now inserted.
Copy !req
244. EM wave pattern has been fixed
at zero minus three.
Copy !req
245. Connection to ego boundary pulse complete.
Copy !req
246. Roger. Commence salvage procedure.
Copy !req
247. Roger that. Now sending signal one.
Copy !req
248. Eva is receiving signal.
No sign of rejection.
Copy !req
249. Proceeding with transmission
of signals two and three.
Copy !req
250. Subject cathexis shows normal.
Copy !req
251. No signs of destrudo detected.
Copy !req
252. Roger. Transfer subject to stage two.
Copy !req
253. Shinji...
Copy !req
254. Idiot Shinji!
Copy !req
255. Shinji!
Copy !req
256. 'Sup, Shinji!
Copy !req
257. Hey, Shinji!
Copy !req
258. Shinji.
Copy !req
259. Shinji!
Copy !req
260. - Idiot Shinji!
- Shinji!
Copy !req
261. - 'Sup, Shinji!
- Hey, Shinji!
Copy !req
262. - Shinji.
- Shinji!
Copy !req
263. It's not working!
His ego boundary is trapped in a loop!
Copy !req
264. Try broadcasting the full waveform
spectrum in all directions!
Copy !req
265. It's not getting through. Our signals
are being trapped in Klein space.
Copy !req
266. - What does that mean?
- It means we failed.
Copy !req
267. Abort intervention. Reverse tangent graph!
Copy !req
268. - Return offset value to zero.
- Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
269. Destrudo readings in primitive
cortical area! Pattern Sepia!
Copy !req
270. Core pulse is also fluctuating!
It's gone to plus 0.3!
Copy !req
271. Our top priority is maintaining
its current state.
Copy !req
272. - Prevent a backflow!
- Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
273. Plus 0.5, 0.8... This is strange!
I can't slow it down!
Copy !req
274. What? Why?
Copy !req
275. Don't you want to come back, Shinji?
Copy !req
276. I don't know.
Copy !req
277. I...
Copy !req
278. What do you wish for?
Copy !req
279. What do you wish for?
Copy !req
280. What do you wish for?
Copy !req
281. What do you wish for?
Copy !req
282. Eva is rejecting signal!
Copy !req
283. The LCL's self-assembly is breaking down!
Copy !req
284. Pressure climbing inside plug!
Copy !req
285. Abort all operations! Cut the power!
Copy !req
286. It's not working!
The plug is beginning exit sequence!
Copy !req
287. Shinji!
Copy !req
288. - Where am I?
- Inside the Eva.
Copy !req
289. Inside the Eva? I got into it again?
Copy !req
290. Why?
Copy !req
291. You aren't going to pilot the Eva anymore?
Copy !req
292. I promised myself that I wouldn't
get into the Eva again.
Copy !req
293. But you did get into it.
Into Evangelion Unit 01.
Copy !req
294. Shinji, you're here right now
because you got into the Eva.
Copy !req
295. You're the person you are now
because you piloted the Eva.
Copy !req
296. You can't reject that.
The fact that you piloted the Eva.
Copy !req
297. You can't reject your past
or who you were.
Copy !req
298. What you need to do is think hard
about what you want to become.
Copy !req
299. And choose for yourself.
Copy !req
300. I...
Copy !req
301. What's the point of science
if it can't save one person? Just one!
Copy !req
302. Give Shinji back! Give him back to me!
Copy !req
303. A smell? The smell of a person...
Copy !req
304. Ms. Misato? Ayanami?
Copy !req
305. No, it's someone else.
Copy !req
306. Oh, I know... It smells like Mother.
Copy !req
307. Will our baby have to grow up in
the aftermath of the Second Impact?
Copy !req
308. In this hell?
Copy !req
309. Oh, as long as you have the will to live,
you can turn anywhere into paradise.
Copy !req
310. After all, you're alive.
Copy !req
311. Opportunities for happiness
can be found everywhere.
Copy !req
312. Yes, of course. You're right.
Copy !req
313. Mother...
Copy !req
314. Have you decided?
Copy !req
315. Shinji if it's a boy. Rei if it's a girl.
Copy !req
316. Shinji... Rei...
Copy !req
317. Mother...
Copy !req
318. Shinji!
Copy !req
319. Repairs on Unit 01 will be finished
the day after tomorrow.
Copy !req
320. So, in the end, we humans will use
even the power of God as a tool.
Copy !req
321. I wonder. I heard the Council is
thinking about grounding Unit 01.
Copy !req
322. Evangelion, the artificial human...
Copy !req
323. For something we created, don't you think
they have way too many unknowns?
Copy !req
324. Well, I guess the important thing
is that we managed to save Shinji.
Copy !req
325. I had nothing to do with it.
I think that was all your doing.
Copy !req
326. Hey, it's been a long time.
Want to get a drink?
Copy !req
327. - Sorry. I have plans tonight.
- Ah.
Copy !req
328. Later.
Copy !req
329. The instant she knows Shinji's safe,
she runs off for a secret tryst...
Copy !req
330. I suppose I'm not one to talk.
Copy !req
331. I bet Ritsuko is looking down
her nose at me
Copy !req
332. right about now, thinking I'm indecent.
Copy !req
333. You're truer to the human condition
when you indulge in carnal desires.
Copy !req
334. The deception should hold for a while.
Copy !req
335. Against who, Nerv Intelligence?
Or Commander Ikari or Ritsuko?
Copy !req
336. Or do you mean me?
Copy !req
337. No, yourself.
Copy !req
338. "Others," don't you mean?
Copy !req
339. You're not all that interested in others,
but you always feel lonely.
Copy !req
340. You really are like my father.
Copy !req
341. I didn't know you still smoked.
Copy !req
342. Only after doing this.
So you're the only one who knows.
Copy !req
343. Goodness, I'm honored.
Copy !req
344. So, tell me... How far along is
the Human Instrumentality Project?
Copy !req
345. If it can destroy humanity, why are
we keeping Adam in our basement?
Copy !req
346. Is that why you hook up with me?
You want info on that stuff?
Copy !req
347. That's part of it, to be honest.
Copy !req
348. I'm deeply honored to be exploited
by a fine lady such as yourself...
Copy !req
349. but I can't talk about that here.
Copy !req
350. Right now, I just want you
to know what I want.
Copy !req
351. What are Nerv
and Commander Ikari really after?
Copy !req
352. I want to know that myself.
Copy !req
353. Hey, buster,
you can't distract me by doing that...
