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. Mommy! Mommy! I've been chosen!
Copy !req
16. I'm gonna be an elite pilot
that protects humanity!
Copy !req
17. I'm the world's greatest!
Copy !req
18. It's supposed to be secret!
But I'll share it just with you, Mommy!
Copy !req
19. Lots of people are gonna be nice to me!
So I won't be lonely!
Copy !req
20. So I'll be fine even without Daddy!
I won't be lonely at all!
Copy !req
21. So look! Look at me!
Copy !req
22. Did you hear me, Mommy?
Copy !req
23. Synchronization rate, zero.
No longer qualified as Second Children.
Copy !req
24. There's no reason for me
to be here anymore.
Copy !req
25. Nobody will look at me.
Copy !req
26. Not Mom, not Dad, not anybody.
Copy !req
27. There's no reason for me to go on living.
Copy !req
28. Asuka Langley Soryu?
Copy !req
29. Intelligence Section 2 reports that
the Second Children is now in custody.
Copy !req
30. I see.
Copy !req
31. It's not like them to not only lose her,
but then take seven days to find her.
Copy !req
32. I bet it was intentional.
You know, to mess with us in Operations
Copy !req
33. Maybe.
Copy !req
34. And Asuka's replacement,
the Fifth, will arrive today.
Copy !req
35. The timing is way too convenient.
Copy !req
36. Rei Ayanami...
Copy !req
37. So that feeling I had was true?
Her seeming maternal.
Copy !req
38. Rei Ayanami and Mom...
What are you using them for...
Copy !req
39. Father?
Copy !req
40. Commander Ikari.
Copy !req
41. My cat died. My grandmother
had been looking after it for me.
Copy !req
42. I hadn't given it
a second thought in ages.
Copy !req
43. But now, suddenly,
I'll never see it again.
Copy !req
44. Why did you destroy the Dummy System?
Copy !req
45. I didn't destroy the dummies.
It was Rei that I destroyed.
Copy !req
46. I'll ask you again. Why?
Copy !req
47. Because having you make love to me
doesn't make me happy anymore.
Copy !req
48. Why don't you have your way with
my body? Just like you did before!
Copy !req
49. I'm disappointed in you.
Copy !req
50. "Disappointed"?
Copy !req
51. You never had any hopes
or expectations for me in the first place!
Copy !req
52. You wanted nothing from me!
Nothing! Not a thing!
Copy !req
53. What should I do, Mother?
Copy !req
54. Where did you go, Asuka?
Copy !req
55. But even if I saw her, what then?
Talk to her about Ayanami?
Copy !req
56. Tohji and Kensuke...
Copy !req
57. Everybody left to find somewhere else
to live after losing their homes here.
Copy !req
58. There's nobody... There's nobody
here that I can call a friend now.
Copy !req
59. Nobody.
Copy !req
60. I can't even go see Ayanami.
I don't have the courage.
Copy !req
61. I don't know how I should treat her.
Copy !req
62. Asuka, Ms. Misato, Mom... What should I...
Copy !req
63. What should I do?
Copy !req
64. Aren't songs great?
Copy !req
65. Songs enrich the heart.
Copy !req
66. They're the crowning achievement
of Lilin culture.
Copy !req
67. Don't you think so...
Copy !req
68. Shinji Ikari?
Copy !req
69. - You know my name?
- Everybody knows you.
Copy !req
70. No offense, but I think you should
be more aware of your importance.
Copy !req
71. I should?
Copy !req
72. Um, who are you?
Copy !req
73. I'm Kaworu. Kaworu Nagisa.
Copy !req
74. Like you, I'm a child whose path has
been set out. I'm the Fifth Children.
Copy !req
75. You're the Fifth Children, uh... Nagisa?
Copy !req
76. Call me Kaworu, Ikari.
Copy !req
77. Um, call me Shinji, then.
Copy !req
78. I'm told that the Fifth Children
just arrived.
Copy !req
79. Kaworu Nagisa. All background
information has been deleted.
Copy !req
80. Just like Rei.
Copy !req
81. What we do know is that his date of birth
is the day of the Second Impact.
Copy !req
82. This boy was directly sent by the Council.
I'm sure there's more to him.
Copy !req
83. The report from the Marduk Institute
regarding the Fifth is being withheld.
Copy !req
84. I was curious, so I did a little hacking
into Intelligence's files.
Copy !req
85. Hey, that's seriously dangerous!
Copy !req
86. It was worth it.
Copy !req
87. I found out where Ms. Ritsuko is.
Copy !req
88. What do we do about
the Fifth's synchro tests?
Copy !req
89. Let's play it straight
and see what he can do.
Copy !req
90. For today, anyway.
Copy !req
91. - Try lowering it another 0.3.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
92. You're certain that
these readings are correct?
Copy !req
93. All monitoring systems
are operating properly.
Copy !req
94. No sign of any data errors
on the part of the Magi.
Copy !req
95. To think that this boy can synchronize
with Unit 02 without replacing its core.
Copy !req
96. It's astonishing.
Copy !req
97. Sir, I just can't believe it!
Copy !req
98. I mean, it's fundamentally impossible
on a system level.
Copy !req
99. And yet it's a fact.
Copy !req
100. First you accept the facts,
Copy !req
101. then you try to explain them.
Copy !req
102. So you're the First Children?
Copy !req
103. Rei Ayanami.
Copy !req
104. You're just like me, I see.
Copy !req
105. Who are you?
Copy !req
106. I'm told that the Fifth
has made contact with Rei.
Copy !req
107. I see.
Copy !req
108. The Magi are going all-out,
sifting through his data.
Copy !req
109. In spite of that, his true nature
remains a mystery.
Copy !req
110. Who in the world is that boy?
Copy !req
111. NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY
Copy !req
112. Shinji hasn't come home yet, either.
Copy !req
113. Some guardian I am.
Copy !req
114. The Central Dogma is currently closed.
Please use Route 3 for transit.
Copy !req
115. Hello. Were you waiting for me?
Copy !req
116. Uh, no. Not really. I wasn't trying to—
Copy !req
117. Have plans today?
Copy !req
118. Well, our regular testing is over.
Copy !req
119. So all that's left is to take a shower
and go home.
Copy !req
120. But to be honest, I don't really
want to go home these days.
Copy !req
121. Having a home,
a house to return to, leads to happiness.
Copy !req
122. - That's a good thing.
- It is?
Copy !req
123. I want to talk to you some more.
Mind if I go with you?
Copy !req
124. To the showers.
Isn't that where you were going?
Copy !req
125. - Uh, yeah.
- You don't want me to come?
Copy !req
126. It's just... Um, you can come if you want.
Copy !req
127. You certainly go to extremes
to avoid making first contact.
Copy !req
128. Are you afraid of intimacy with others?
Copy !req
129. If you avoid other people,
you'll never be betrayed.
Copy !req
130. You won't hurt each other, either.
Copy !req
131. But you'll also never stop feeling lonely.
Copy !req
132. Humans can't permanently
be free of loneliness.
Copy !req
133. Because man is ultimately alone.
Copy !req
134. But people can go on living
Copy !req
135. because they're able to forget.
Copy !req
136. Closing time.
Copy !req
137. Already?
Copy !req
138. Yeah. We'd better get to bed.
Copy !req
139. Together?
Copy !req
140. No! I think they've set up
an apartment for you, Kaworu.
Copy !req
141. A separate one.
Copy !req
142. Oh.
Copy !req
143. The human heart is in constant pain.
Copy !req
144. The heart is sensitive to pain,
so that makes living feel painful.
Copy !req
145. Hearts are as delicate as glass.
Especially yours.
Copy !req
146. - It is?
- Yes. You're worthy of my grace.
Copy !req
147. Your grace?
Copy !req
148. It means I like you.
Copy !req
149. Nerv, the organization founded
to be Seele's execution agency.
Copy !req
150. It was put in place
to carry out our scenario.
Copy !req
151. But the agency has become
the personal plaything of one man.
Copy !req
152. Indeed. We must reclaim it.
Copy !req
153. Before the promised day comes.
Copy !req
154. We must return Nerv
and the Eva Series to their original form.
Copy !req
155. Ikari, you will be held to account
for your breach of Seele's trust.
Copy !req
156. The time we were allotted is running out.
Copy !req
157. But the Spear of Longinus, which stood
in the way of our dream, is now gone.
Copy !req
158. The final Angel will soon appear.
Copy !req
159. Once it's destroyed,
that dream will be fulfilled.
Copy !req
160. It won't be long now, Yui.
Copy !req
161. Why am I here?
Copy !req
162. Why am I alive again?
Copy !req
163. For what?
Copy !req
164. For who?
Copy !req
165. The Fifth Children...
Copy !req
166. I sense that he's the same as me.
Copy !req
167. But why?
Copy !req
168. Good thing we're in the suburbs.
Copy !req
169. You didn't get caught in the blast.
Copy !req
170. But next time, we might be so lucky.
Copy !req
171. So the Horakis are gonna look after you
starting tomorrow, okay?
Copy !req
172. We're gonna have to say goodbye
for a while, Pen Pen.
Copy !req
173. I insist, let me sleep on the floor.
Copy !req
174. No, that's okay. I was the one
who asked if I could stay over.
Copy !req
175. I'm fine down here.
Copy !req
176. What do you want to talk about?
Copy !req
177. There's something that you want
to get off your chest, right?
Copy !req
178. I've been through so much
since I got here.
Copy !req
179. Before this, I was staying with a teacher.
Copy !req
180. Days there were quiet and uneventful.
Copy !req
181. All I did was take up space.
Copy !req
182. But that was fine with me.
There was nothing that I wanted to do.
Copy !req
183. You hate being around other people?
Copy !req
184. Not exactly.
I don't think I cared either way.
Copy !req
185. But I did hate my father.
Copy !req
186. Why am I talking to Kaworu
about this stuff?
Copy !req
187. You know, I might have been born
so that I could meet you.
Copy !req
188. So... Did you manage to get his files?
Copy !req
189. Here. I "borrowed" this from
Lt. Ibuki without her knowing.
Copy !req
190. I'm sorry, I keep asking you
to sneak around like a thief.
Copy !req
191. What the hell?
Copy !req
192. It's no surprise that Maya
can't show this to anyone!
Copy !req
193. It's theoretically impossible!
Copy !req
194. Yeah... The mysteries around this kid
just keep getting deeper.
Copy !req
195. He can set his synch rate
with an Eva to whatever he wants?
Copy !req
196. And do it at will?
Copy !req
197. I guess I have to resort to
extreme measures again...
Copy !req
198. I'm surprised to see you.
Copy !req
199. I need to ask you something.
Copy !req
200. Anything you say in here will be recorded.
Copy !req
201. I don't care.
Copy !req
202. That boy, the Fifth...
Who is he? What is he?
Copy !req
203. He's probably the final messenger.
Copy !req
204. Let's go. Come along, alter ego
of Adam and servant of the Lilin.
Copy !req
205. ALERT
Copy !req
206. Eva-02 has activated!
Copy !req
207. It's what? Where's Asuka?
Copy !req
208. In hospital room 303! I have confirmation!
Copy !req
209. - Then who's at the controls?
- It's unmanned!
Copy !req
210. Unit 02 doesn't have
an entry plug inserted!
Copy !req
211. It's unmanned?
Then the Fifth isn't doing this?
Copy !req
212. A.T. Field generation detected
in the Central Dogma!
Copy !req
213. - Is it Unit 02?
- Negative! Pattern Blue!
Copy !req
214. - No doubt about it, it's an Angel!
- It's what?
Copy !req
215. That boy... He's an Angel?
Copy !req
216. Target passing Level 4! Still descending!
Copy !req
217. It's no use!
Unable to cut power to the maglev!
Copy !req
218. Target passing Level 5!
Copy !req
219. All Central Dogma blast doors,
emergency lockdown!
Copy !req
220. Buy us some time. I don't care how much.
Copy !req
221. Emergency lockdown of all
Malebolge levels! All personnel, evacuate!
Copy !req
222. All personnel, evacuate!
Copy !req
223. I can't believe Seele would
send one directly at us...
Copy !req
224. The old men are trying to skip a step.
Using us to do it.
Copy !req
225. The final Angel has penetrated
the Central Dogma.
Copy !req
226. It is now descending.
Copy !req
227. Exactly as planned.
Copy !req
228. Ikari, you were a good friend
who shared our goal,
Copy !req
229. as well as a collaborator
of great insight.
Copy !req
230. This is your final task.
Copy !req
231. Let us hope Unit 01
will carry out the task.
Copy !req
232. Eva-02 is breaching the armored bulkheads!
Copy !req
233. Target has passed Cocytus No.2!
Copy !req
234. - Have Eva-01 pursue.
- Yes, sir!
Copy !req
235. Use any means necessary
to prevent the target
Copy !req
236. from entering the Terminal Dogma.
Copy !req
237. But why did the Angel take Unit 02?
Copy !req
238. Does it intend to merge
with Unit 02, perhaps?
Copy !req
239. Or to bring about our destruction.
Copy !req
240. It's a lie! A lie! A lie!
Copy !req
241. Kaworu's a... He's an Angel?
Copy !req
242. That's not true!
Copy !req
243. Facts are facts. Just accept it.
Copy !req
244. You need to launch. Ready?
Copy !req
245. What's keeping you, Shinji?
Copy !req
246. Eva-01 descending Route 2!
In pursuit of target!
Copy !req
247. You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!
Copy !req
248. You betrayed me, just like Father!
Copy !req
249. Eva-01 has arrived at Level 4.
About to make contact with target.
Copy !req
250. There he is!
Copy !req
251. I've been waiting for you, Shinji.
Copy !req
252. Kaworu!
Copy !req
253. Asuka, I'm sorry!
Copy !req
254. The Eva Series...
Copy !req
255. Creatures born of Adam which are
abominations in the eyes of humanity.
Copy !req
256. The Lilin resort to using even
such things in order to survive.
Copy !req
257. This is most perplexing.
Copy !req
258. Kaworu! Stop it! Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
259. The Evas and I are made of the same flesh.
Copy !req
260. We are both born of Adam, you see.
Copy !req
261. If it weren't for its soul,
I could merge with it.
Copy !req
262. Especially since Unit 02 here
is closing off its own soul right now.
Copy !req
263. An A.T. Field!
Copy !req
264. Oh, right. That's what you Lilin call it.
Copy !req
265. That sacred region which none may violate.
The light of the heart.
Copy !req
266. Deep down, you Lilin must know.
Copy !req
267. The A.T. Field is the inner wall
that we all possess.
Copy !req
268. How would I know that, Kaworu?
Copy !req
269. - Both Evas have reached lowest level.
- Target will reach Terminal Dogma in 20.
Copy !req
270. If we lose Eva-01's signal
and detect another change...
Copy !req
271. I know, ma'am.
I'll trigger the self-destruct.
Copy !req
272. It's better than letting
the Third Impact happen.
Copy !req
273. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
274. I don't mind dying. Not if it's with you.
Copy !req
275. Thanks.
Copy !req
276. Humanity's fate...
Copy !req
277. Man's hope is lined with sorrow.
Copy !req
278. What was that?
Copy !req
279. The most powerful A.T. Field
we've ever recorded!
Copy !req
280. Light, EM waves, and subatomic
particles are all being blocked!
Copy !req
281. - Unable to monitor situation!
- It's a damn containment field.
Copy !req
282. The target and Eva 01
and Eva 02 are off our scopes!
Copy !req
283. Unable to contact pilot!
Copy !req
284. Kaworu!
Copy !req
285. Come back!
Copy !req
286. Final safety device disengaged!
Copy !req
287. Heaven's Door is opening!
Copy !req
288. So an Angel finally made it.
Copy !req
289. Hyuga.
Copy !req
290. What's that?
Copy !req
291. - Status?
- It's an A.T. Field!
Copy !req
292. A field of equal power is being generated
near the earlier Terminal Dogma field!
Copy !req
293. It's breaking through
the containment field!
Copy !req
294. What? A new Angel?
Copy !req
295. Unknown! Unable to verify!
Copy !req
296. Wait, it's gone!
Copy !req
297. It's gone? The Angel vanished?
Copy !req
298. Adam, mother figure to my kind.
Copy !req
299. Must those born of Adam return to him?
Copy !req
300. Even if that means dooming humanity?
Copy !req
301. Wait, this isn't...
Copy !req
302. It's Lilith!
Copy !req
303. I see... So that's your plan, Lilin!
Copy !req
304. Thank you, Shinji.
Copy !req
305. I had hoped that you would
stop Unit 02 for me.
Copy !req
306. Otherwise, I may have been
able to live on alongside her.
Copy !req
307. Kaworu, why are you...
Copy !req
308. It's my fate. It dictates that I live on.
Copy !req
309. Even if mankind perishes as a result.
Copy !req
310. But I can die here if I want.
Life and death hold equal value to me.
Copy !req
311. Choosing to die is
the one absolute freedom.
Copy !req
312. What's that mean? Kaworu,
I don't understand what you're saying!
Copy !req
313. They're my last words.
Copy !req
314. Now, go ahead and destroy me.
Copy !req
315. If you don't,
you and your kind will disappear.
Copy !req
316. Only one lifeform can avoid extinction
and be granted a future.
Copy !req
317. And you aren't someone who ought to die.
Copy !req
318. Your kind needs a future.
Copy !req
319. Thank you.
Copy !req
320. I'm happy that I met you.
Copy !req
321. Kaworu said I was... worthy of his grace.
That he liked me.
Copy !req
322. That's the first time anybody's
ever said they liked me. Ever.
Copy !req
323. He was similar to me. And to Ayanami.
Copy !req
324. I really liked him.
Copy !req
325. If only one of us could survive,
it should have been him.
Copy !req
326. He was a way better person than I am.
Copy !req
327. Kaworu should have survived!
Copy !req
328. You're wrong. Only those with
the will to live get to survive.
Copy !req
329. He craved death.
Copy !req
330. He abandoned his will to live
and clung to a false hope.
Copy !req
331. You didn't do anything wrong, Shinji.
Copy !req
332. That's really cold, Ms. Misato.
Copy !req
333. TO BE CONTINUED
Copy !req
334. NEXT EPISODE
Copy !req
335. The final Angel has vanished.
But Shinji agonizes over it.
Copy !req
336. And Misato and Asuka bare their hearts.
Copy !req
337. While they seek salvation in others.
Copy !req
338. While they accept that this is
but one form of the end.
Copy !req
339. Next episode! "The Ending World"!
