1. Like a cruel angel

2. Become a legend, young boy

3. When a blue wind Knocks on the door to your heart

4. You just gaze back at me And smile oh so gently

5. So eager for something You touch so softly

6. Those innocent eyes Know nothing of the fate that awaits

7. But one day, you will realize That upon your back

8. You have wings You can fly to the faraway future

9. The cruel angel's thesis

10. One day, you'll take off through a window

11. If your overflowing pathos

12. Leads you to betray your memories

13. Then embrace the heavens and shine bright

14. Become legend, young boy

15. Hello. I'm not home right now. Leave a message after the beep.

16. One last job to do.

17. It's the same color as blood.

18. What do you mean, the deputy commander's been abducted?

19. It happened two hours ago.

20. His last confirmed location was in Ward Eight in the west.

21. Wait, that's inside this facility!

22. Were you guys at Intel asleep on the job?

23. They had an inside man who was leaking Intel and stirring up trouble.

24. He gave us the runaround.

25. A man who could outwit Intel Section Two?

26. Oh, don't tell me...

27. Ryoji Kaji. We believe him to be the mastermind behind the disappearance.

28. Which is why you came to see me.

29. It's helpful that you catch on so quickly.

30. As colleagues, we hate having to suspect our own chief of operations,

31. but this is our job.

32. Considering my history with him, it's the logical step to take.

33. Thank you for your cooperation. Bring her.

34. It's been quite some time, Chairman Keel.

35. This is a rather rough welcome, don't you think?

36. Apologies for rude behavior are not warranted here.

37. We needed to have an uninterrupted chat. It was the logical step to take.

38. You never change. My convenience has never been a concern for you.

39. This matter requires immediate attention. It couldn't be helped.

40. Please understand.

41. It must be, if you're appearing to me as Seele rather than the Council.

42. We have no intention of creating a new god.

43. We require your assistance, Professor Fuyutsuki.

44. "Professor Fuyutsuki," is it?

45. Professor! Professor Fuyutsuki!

46. Oh, hello, boys.

47. Have any plans, sir? Want to grab a beer at Kamogawa?

48. Again?

49. Ryoko and her friends say they'll come, but only if you do.

50. The other professors say you ought to join in every once in a while.

51. All right, all right.

52. It's good for you to go out for a drink every now and again.

53. Yes, sir.

54. You're very talented, but you should give more thought

55. to cultivating relationships.

56. I'll take that to heart, sir.

57. By the way, Fuyutsuki, there's a student over in Bioengineering

58. who's put together a fascinating report.

59. Do you know a student by the name of Ikari?

60. Ikari? No, sir.

61. When I mentioned you and your work, Ikari expressed an interest in meeting you.

62. This student will be in touch soon. Be accommodating, will you?

63. "Ikari," was it? Very well, sir.

64. METAPHYSICAL BIO, LAB NO.1 (FUYUTSUKI)

65. I've taken the liberty of reading your report.

66. There are a few points I'm not sold on, but it was a stimulating read.

67. Thank you, sir.

68. "Yui Ikari," was it?

69. Yes, sir.

70. What are your plans after graduation?

71. Get a job in the private sector? Or take a position at a lab here, perhaps?

72. I haven't thought that far ahead yet. And isn't there also a third option?

73. I've also thought about starting a family. Assuming I meet the right person.

74. AGAIN, IN 2015 A.D.

75. By assimilating that S2 Drive...

76. it has attained absolute existence.

77. Evangelion Unit 01...

78. A manifested god is of no use to us.

79. We mustn't create a god.

80. Much less allow it to fall into that man's hands.

81. Gendoh Ikari... Can this man be trusted?

82. Gendoh Rokubungi? Yes, I've heard the name.

83. No, I've never personally met him.

84. But he is the sort of man whose reputation precedes him.

85. What? He's asking to be released into my custody?

86. No, I'll come down. When would be a good time?

87. I heard about you from a mutual friend.

88. I wanted to meet you for myself.

89. I wasn't expecting you to be the trashy sort who gets into bar brawls.

90. He took a swing at me before I could talk my way out of it.

91. Being liked makes me uncomfortable. I'm far more used to being an outcast.

92. Well, your social skills have nothing to do with me.

93. Prof. Fuyutsuki, you seem to be exactly the sort of man I hoped you would be.

94. My first impression was that he was a thoroughly unpleasant man.

95. It was autumn at the time. This was back when this country still had seasons.

96. - Is that true? - Yes.

97. I'm in a relationship with Mr. Rokubungi.

98. I could not hide my surprise when I heard those words.

99. I'm surprised you have anything in common.

100. Now, now, Professor Fuyutsuki. He's actually very charming.

101. No one knows it, that's all.

102. Then perhaps ignorance really is bliss.

103. Was my introducing you an imposition?

104. No. He's an interesting man, to be sure. But I can't bring myself to like him.

105. In my circles, it was widely thought that he had fostered a relationship with Yui

106. to gain access to her talents and the group she was associated with.

107. Later on, I heard rumors that this group's name was "Seele."

108. ANTARCTICA, 2000 A.D.

109. The Second Impact.

110. That tragedy struck in the final year of the 20th Century.

111. And the first year of the 21st Century could only be described as Hell.

112. There are no other words to describe that year.

113. 2002 A.D.

114. It's hard to believe that this was once a continent of ice.

115. It's utterly unrecognizable.

116. Professor Fuyutsuki.

117. Oh, it's you. I'm amazed you're still alive.

118. I heard you were on the Katsuragi Expedition.

119. As luck would have it, I had returned to Japan the day beforehand,

120. so I managed to avoid the tragedy.

121. I see. Look, Rokubungi—

122. Excuse me, Professor, but I've changed my name.

123. A postcard? Not a business card?

124. WE'RE MARRIED! GENDOH AND YUI IKARI

125. Ikari... Gendoh Ikari?

126. The missus insisted that I give this to you, Professor. She's quite the fan.

127. I'm honored to hear that.

128. So, how is Yui? She's not coming on this field expedition?

129. She wanted to come with us, but we have a child now.

130. This organization you belong to. Seele, was it?

131. I've heard nothing but bad things.

132. I can't say I approve of the way they strong-arm the Security Council.

133. As principled as ever, I see.

134. But these days, no organization that plays by the rules can survive.

135. This official investigation of the Second Impact...

136. It would raise suspicions if it were composed entirely of Seele members.

137. That's why the rest of us were brought in, isn't it?

138. 2015 A.D.

139. NERV ISOLATION FACILITY NO.4

140. I still don't like dark places. Bad things always come back to me.

141. Who is she?

142. The sole survivor of the original expedition.

143. 2002 A.D.

144. Her name is Misato Katsuragi.

145. Katsuragi? The daughter of Doctor Katsuragi?

146. Yes. She hasn't spoken a single word in nearly two years.

147. That poor girl...

148. Whatever she saw, it was bad enough to do that.

149. Mental trauma can take longer to heal than simple physical injuries.

150. Very true.

151. Releasing our findings will require careful attention.

152. Everything about this giant of light is a mystery.

153. Afterwards, the UN would officially report that the Second Impact was caused by

154. the impact of a meteor of enormous mass.

155. In my eyes, however, it was clear that this was a cover-up.

156. I could catch hints of Seele, and a man called Keel, at work behind the scenes.

157. I wanted to learn more about the dark truth behind this incident.

158. Even if the name "Yui Ikari" popped up.

159. Why would you conceal the existence of the giant?

160. Your group knew the Second Impact was coming, didn't it?

161. You knew it would happen that day.

162. You mentioned that you were lucky enough to leave the day before the incident.

163. Was it also luck that you gathered all of your research material before you left?

164. I thought all those had been incinerated. I'm surprised.

165. I've looked into your finances.

166. I realize that it takes a lot of money to raise a child,

167. but don't you think you have far more than any individual needs?

168. Impressive as ever, Professor Fuyutsuki.

169. Perhaps you should change your field to economics.

170. I'm going public with how your Seele group

171. and the Dead Sea Scrolls are connected to the Second Impact.

172. I refuse to let those responsible get away with it!

173. As you wish.

174. But before you do that, there's something I want you to see.

175. We're certainly going down a long way...

176. - Does that worry you? - Somewhat, yes.

177. What on earth?

178. A structure that was left behind by someone who wasn't us.

179. Eighty-nine percent of it is buried.

180. Then this was originally a perfectly spherical underground space?

181. All of mankind's resources are being poured into that installation.

182. Oh, hello, Professor Fuyutsuki.

183. Akagi? You're involved in this, too?

184. Yes.

185. This is the best place to work out the basic theories

186. underpinning the biological computers I'm trying to create.

187. I'm going to call them the Magi.

188. Magi? The three wise men from the East?

189. - Is that what you wanted to show me? - No.

190. This way, please.

191. Ritsuko, we'll be right back.

192. What on earth... Surely you didn't bring that giant here!

193. We Gehirn members refer to that object as "Adam."

194. This isn't the giant. It's not the original.

195. - So this is... - Yes.

196. This is Eva, created by man from Adam.

197. Eva?

198. This is the prototype of the Adam Rebirth Project, also called Project-E.

199. Eva-00.

200. The prototype of a god?

201. Fuyutsuki, will you join me in forging a new history for mankind?

202. 2015 A.D.

203. Um, Senpai?

204. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get Rei re-tested right away.

205. I haven't seen Ms. Katsuragi around today.

206. Oh, I hadn't noticed.

207. Ms. Katsuragi?

208. Yep, Misato Katsuragi! Pleased to meet'cha!

209. Mother, I met a girl named Katsuragi the other day.

210. People tend to give me a wide berth.

211. Whenever that happens, it drives home how much weight your name carries.

212. But not her. She's totally at ease around me for some reason.

213. I learned that she was the sole survivor of that doomed expedition.

214. She says she lost the ability to speak for a while,

215. but the way she goes on and on now, it's like she's making up for lost time.

216. Ritchan, I'm still spending all my time underground here.

217. I'm really tired of the boxed lunches they give us.

218. The Tokyo-3 project is underway topside

219. as part of the 2nd Capital Transfer Project.

220. Misato was away from school for a while, and when I made her tell me why,

221. I couldn't believe it.

222. She said she'd been in bed with her boyfriend the whole time.

223. They had just stayed there in bed for a whole week.

224. I feel like I've learned about a side to her I never knew existed.

225. She introduced me to him today.

226. He's handsome, but I'll never get used to that carefree attitude of his.

227. Boys have never been your strong suit, have they, Ritchan?

228. Maybe being raised by a single mother...

229. I'm sorry. I was never a hands-on parent, was I?

230. I'm terrible, I only act like a mother when it doesn't take any effort.

231. Act like a mother...

232. 2004 A.D.

233. HAKONE, UNDERGROUND TESTING FACILITY NO.2

234. LCL pressure, +0.2.

235. No destrudo readings in transmitter.

236. - What is this child doing here? - That's Director Ikari's son.

237. Ikari, this isn't a daycare center. Today is an important day.

238. Sorry, Professor Fuyutsuki. I was the one who brought him.

239. Yui? This is your experiment today.

240. That's exactly why. I want him to see that he has a bright future ahead of him.

241. Those were Ms. Yui's last words.

242. That freak accident wiped her from the face of the earth.

243. Just as I had hoped.

244. I'm a terrible woman, aren't I?

245. Ritchan, Director Ikari was a changed man after that day.

246. Where have you been all week?

247. Grieve all you want, but remember that you have responsibilities beyond yourself now.

248. I'm well aware. Fuyutsuki, I'm proposing a new project today.

249. I've already submitted it to Chairman Keel.

250. Surely you don't mean...

251. I do. The path to attain godhood, which no one has ever achieved.

252. The Human Instrumentality Project.

253. 2008 A.D.

254. Mother, congratulations on completing the basic theories for the Magi.

255. To coincide with your success, I'm happy to tell you

256. I've been informally accepted into Gehirn.

257. I'm set to work as part of Project-E, starting next month.

258. Who's there?

259. Ritsuko Akagi, Technology Development Department. My ID.

260. I heard that the Command Center has been framed out, so I came to see it.

261. It's a real maze here, though.

262. The Director is there with Dr. Akagi right now.

263. - Are you sure? - Yes.

264. I have no regrets about my work.

265. Liar. You can't let go of Ms. Yui.

266. But I can live with that.

267. 2010 A.D.

268. GEO-FRONT ARTIFICIAL CANOPY

269. VENTRAL POINT DEFENSE EMPLACEMENT NO.2 (PLANNED SITE)

270. That's Gehirn HQ.

271. Good morning, Director. You have your son with you today?

272. Oh, I thought you had a boy.

273. This isn't Shinji. I'm looking after a friend's daughter.

274. Her name is Rei Ayanami.

275. Hi there, Rei.

276. She reminds me of someone...

277. Ms. Yui?

278. All files pertaining to Rei Ayanami have been deleted.

279. She's a blank slate. What's going on?

280. SUPERCOMPUTER MAGI SYSTEM COMPLETED

281. Magus Casper, Magus Balthasar, and Magus Melchior.

282. The Magi are the three sides of me. Me as a scientist.

283. Me as a mother. Me as a woman.

284. Those three sides are constantly vying for control.

285. Three of you, Mother...

286. All that's left is to power it on.

287. I'm leaving early today. Misato is coming back.

288. Oh, right. She's also joined Gehirn, hasn't she?

289. In Germany, right?

290. Yes, she works at the Third Branch.

291. - A long-distance relationship, then? - She says they broke up.

292. Oh? That's too bad. They seemed like the perfect couple.

293. Men and women are hard to figure out. There's no logic to it.

294. Ever the aloof ice queen, I see.

295. Careful, happiness is going to pass you by.

296. I have even more trouble with how to define happiness.

297. I should go. It's been forever since I went out for a drink.

298. - Good work today. - You, too.

299. Can I help you, Rei?

300. I got lost.

301. Oh, really? Well, do you want me to show you the way out?

302. No.

303. But you can't find your way out by yourself, right?

304. I don't need your help, you hag.

305. What?

306. I can find my own way out, so leave me alone, you hag.

307. Calling someone a hag is very rude.

308. But you are one, aren't you?

309. You're making me angry. You need a scolding from Director Ikari.

310. - He's the one who says that about you. - What?

311. Things like, "That hag is such a nag." Or, "I don't need that hag anymore."

312. "That hag is such a nag." "I don't need that hag anymore."

313. "I don't need that hag anymore." He's the one who says that.

314. "I don't need that hag anymore."

315. Even if you die, there will be another to take your place, Rei...

316. Just like me.

317. On that day, the Human Instrumentality Project, chaired by Keel Lorenz,

318. dissolved Gehirn, its research organization.

319. The Special Agency Nerv was founded

320. as the execution organization for all of its projects.

321. And then we were all transferred over to Nerv.

322. Except for Dr. Akagi,

323. the key figure behind the development of the Magi System.

324. 2015 A.D.

325. - Oh, it's you. - It's been a while, sir.

326. The guard outside is getting a little shut-eye.

327. Doing this will mean your neck.

328. I just want to get closer to the truth.

329. The truth inside me.

330. Thank you for your cooperation.

331. - I'm free to go? - Yes. The issue has been resolved.

332. I see.

333. - And him? - Unknown, ma'am.

334. Hi. What took you so long?

335. I'm home.

336. MESSAGE

337. PLAY MESSAGES

338. Hi, Katsuragi. It's me.

339. By the time you get this message, I've probably made life difficult for you.

340. Sorry about that. And apologize to Ritchan for me, okay?

341. I shouldn't be asking favors, but I've been growing some flowers.

342. If you could water them for me, I'd appreciate it.

343. Shinji knows where they are.

344. Katsuragi, the truth is with you. Keep going and don't look back.

345. If I see you again...

346. I'll say the words that I couldn't say to you eight years ago.

347. Bye.

348. Message left at 12:02 p.m.

349. You idiot...

350. You're such an idiot...

351. All I could do was hide from Misato.

352. I knew there was nothing I could do. Nothing I could say.

353. I was just a child.

354. TO BE CONTINUED

355. Asuka is in a mental downward spiral over being one-upped by Shinji.

356. And then a mental attack unleashed by an Angel

357. delivers the final blow to her heart.

358. Shinji has no words with which to console her.

359. Next episode, "Staying Human".
