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. I'm in your debt again.
Copy !req
16. But you don't intend to repay it.
Copy !req
17. About the Intel they were pursuing
using the Freedom of Information Act...
Copy !req
18. I mixed in some fake items
to throw them off the scent.
Copy !req
19. The government is working on
legislation behind the scenes,
Copy !req
20. but that should be derailed soon.
Copy !req
21. Now, about that other project...
Do you want me to handle it?
Copy !req
22. No, judging from the files you sent,
it shouldn't pose any problems.
Copy !req
23. We'll stick to the scenario, then.
Copy !req
24. Good morning.
Copy !req
25. Morning...
Copy !req
26. This is how you get the day started!
Copy !req
27. Don't most people drink coffee?
Copy !req
28. Ever since old times,
Japanese people have had
Copy !req
29. white rice, miso soup,
and sake in the morning.
Copy !req
30. - That's in your case, right, Ms. Misato?
- Why the attitude?
Copy !req
31. Whose turn was it
to cook breakfast this morning?
Copy !req
32. I think I know why you're
still single at your age.
Copy !req
33. Well, excuse me for being so uncouth.
Copy !req
34. And being a slob.
Copy !req
35. Okay, you've made your point!
Copy !req
36. Thanks, I'm done.
Copy !req
37. Are you really coming to school today?
Copy !req
38. Of course I am.
It's for your future plans meeting.
Copy !req
39. But you're really busy at work.
Copy !req
40. It's fine, it's fine.
It's all part of the job.
Copy !req
41. Your job, huh?
Copy !req
42. Hello?
Copy !req
43. Hi! You didn't have to
come all the way over.
Copy !req
44. Sure, we'll be right out.
Copy !req
45. Ms. Misato, please don't come
to the door like that.
Copy !req
46. - It's embarrassing.
- Have it your way.
Copy !req
47. Good morning, Mr. Ikari!
Copy !req
48. Bye, Ms. Misato! We're off to school!
Copy !req
49. Have a nice day!
Copy !req
50. Come on, let's get going!
Copy !req
51. Snark, huh?
Copy !req
52. Well, I guess it's a good sign
that he's finally loosened up.
Copy !req
53. Ma'am?
Copy !req
54. He just left the apartment.
Maintain security on him.
Copy !req
55. Look, she's here!
Copy !req
56. She's so hot! Who is she?
Copy !req
57. Ikari's guardian?
Copy !req
58. You mean a babe like that looks after him?
Copy !req
59. Horny idiots.
Copy !req
60. Is Ms. Misato great or what?
Copy !req
61. You think so?
Copy !req
62. All that, and she's Nerv's
Operations Director! That's amazing!
Copy !req
63. You think so?
Copy !req
64. It's a good thing for us that Shinji
is such a clueless baby, Kensuke.
Copy !req
65. Yeah, he won't get in our way.
Copy !req
66. Tohji and Kensuke don't know
how big a slob she is.
Copy !req
67. Oh, I wish I could land a woman like her!
Copy !req
68. I think you'd regret it.
Copy !req
69. You are one dense dude, big guy.
Copy !req
70. Right! We'll leave peace on Earth
in your capable hands!
Copy !req
71. So you can rest easy,
knowing that Ms. Misato is in ours!
Copy !req
72. Unit 01 has met target cooling values.
Proceed to stage two.
Copy !req
73. Peace on Earth, huh?
That's what the Evas are for...
Copy !req
74. But what are they?
Copy !req
75. It smells like blood in the entry plug.
Copy !req
76. So why do I feel so safe in here?
Copy !req
77. When it's all said and done,
I have no idea what's going on.
Copy !req
78. How are Unit Zero's
organic chest components?
Copy !req
79. Badly damaged.
Copy !req
80. We're making new ones, but it's eating up
what's left of our supplemental budget.
Copy !req
81. Maybe things will get a little easier
once Unit Two arrives from Germany.
Copy !req
82. It might be just the opposite.
Copy !req
83. Angel disposal operations up there
also cost money.
Copy !req
84. No kidding. This place is
always strapped for funds.
Copy !req
85. The fate of humanity
is riding on us, for Pete's sake.
Copy !req
86. It is what it is.
"Man does not live by Eva alone."
Copy !req
87. It takes money
to keep the survivors alive.
Copy !req
88. Speaking of budgets...
The Commander is off at another meeting?
Copy !req
89. Yes, he's en route right now.
Copy !req
90. Things are so much calmer here
when the Commander is away.
Copy !req
91. Excuse me. Do you mind if I sit here
since we're traveling together?
Copy !req
92. The revised budget earmarked for sample
collection was approved without comment.
Copy !req
93. The Council places a premium
on their own survival.
Copy !req
94. That goal loosens their purse strings.
Copy !req
95. Yes, their argument was always
that the Angels wouldn't reappear.
Copy !req
96. One other piece of good news:
Copy !req
97. All council nations, minus the US,
have approved funding for Eva-06.
Copy !req
98. Well, it's only a matter of time
before the Americans sign on, too.
Copy !req
99. They have a powerful aversion
to high unemployment rates.
Copy !req
100. What about yours?
Copy !req
101. We will take part, starting with Unit 08.
Copy !req
102. Phase Two of the Buildup Plan
is still in effect, after all.
Copy !req
103. Mind you, there is still the issue
of us not having a pilot for it yet.
Copy !req
104. The Angels have returned.
Copy !req
105. Our only path forward is to defeat them.
Copy !req
106. Yes, I would also rather not have
a repeat of the Second Impact.
Copy !req
107. Wait, you're saying the Second Impact,
when Antarctica was vaporized—
Copy !req
108. Yes. The textbooks say it was a tragedy
caused by a massive meteorite impact,
Copy !req
109. but the truth has a tendency
to be covered up.
Copy !req
110. Fifteen years ago in Antarctica,
Copy !req
111. humanity found a humanoid object,
the first of what we call Angels.
Copy !req
112. But while studying it, there was
a huge explosion of unknown cause.
Copy !req
113. That is the truth behind
the Second Impact.
Copy !req
114. So what we're doing here—
Copy !req
115. Is preventing the onset
of a probable Third Impact.
Copy !req
116. That is why Nerv
and the Evangelions exist.
Copy !req
117. By the way, it looks like they're
going ahead with it tomorrow.
Copy !req
118. Understood.
Copy !req
119. Good morning.
Copy !req
120. Um, good morning, ma'am.
Copy !req
121. I'm going to Old Tokyo for work.
Copy !req
122. I won't be back until late,
so go grab something for dinner.
Copy !req
123. Bye.
Copy !req
124. Um... Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
125. DERELICT ZONE NO. 28
(CITY CENTER OF OLD TOKYO)
Copy !req
126. It's hard to believe that this
was ever called a bustling metropolis.
Copy !req
127. We're there.
Copy !req
128. Why are they doing this here,
of all places?
Copy !req
129. So, is the SSDF involved in this project?
Copy !req
130. The Strategic Self Defense Force?
No, there's no sign they're involved.
Copy !req
131. That explains why they're
getting away with all this.
Copy !req
132. The Japan Heavy
and Chemical Industries Consortium
Copy !req
133. thanks you for taking the time
out of your busy schedules today
Copy !req
134. to attend this demonstration.
Copy !req
135. You will all be invited to view
the public trials from the control room.
Copy !req
136. But if anyone has any questions,
I will be happy to answer them.
Copy !req
137. - Here!
- Ah, the renowned Dr. Ritsuko Akagi!
Copy !req
138. We're honored by your presence.
Copy !req
139. May I ask a few questions?
Copy !req
140. By all means, ask away.
Copy !req
141. According to your presentation,
the unit has an internal heat engine.
Copy !req
142. Yes, that is its major feature.
Copy !req
143. It is guaranteed to be able to
operate continuously for 150 days.
Copy !req
144. I believe installing a reactor
inside a ground combat weapon
Copy !req
145. meant for close-quarters combat
poses too great a safety risk.
Copy !req
146. It is more useful than a "decisive weapon"
that can't even run for five minutes.
Copy !req
147. Remote operation poses issues
when faced with emergencies.
Copy !req
148. We consider it much more humane
than placing undue strain on pilots
Copy !req
149. and exposing them to
psychological contamination.
Copy !req
150. Enough, already. You're causing a scene.
Copy !req
151. And deliberate operator malfeasance?
Copy !req
152. It's safer than a wildly dangerous
weapon that can go out of control
Copy !req
153. and go on a rampage
at the drop of a hat, I'd say.
Copy !req
154. A weapon that can't be controlled
is utter nonsense.
Copy !req
155. It's like hysterical women.
Copy !req
156. There's no reasoning with them.
Copy !req
157. That is why we have pilots and technology!
Copy !req
158. Come now, are you claiming
that science and the human heart
Copy !req
159. can keep those monsters under control?
Copy !req
160. Are you serious?
Copy !req
161. Yes. Completely.
Copy !req
162. Nerv's reliance on something
as nebulous as the human heart
Copy !req
163. is what let that rampage
happen on their watch.
Copy !req
164. As a result, the UN was hit
with a huge extra budget request.
Copy !req
165. Money that could have fed
20,000 starving people elsewhere.
Copy !req
166. Plus, even though it was
such a serious incident,
Copy !req
167. its cause remains a mystery?
Copy !req
168. One would hope that you would carry out
your duties as the responsible party.
Copy !req
169. Isn't it nice how Nerv
enjoys extralegal protection?
Copy !req
170. You aren't held responsible
for your failings.
Copy !req
171. Say what you like,
Copy !req
172. but only Nerv's main weapon is capable
of defeating the hostile entities!
Copy !req
173. Are you referring to the A.T. Field?
We'll have that licked eventually.
Copy !req
174. Nerv's reign won't last forever.
Copy !req
175. NERV PARTY
Copy !req
176. Stupid! Jerk!
That obnoxious son of a bitch!
Copy !req
177. They're just getting even with us
for cutting them out of the action!
Copy !req
178. I am so pissed off!
Copy !req
179. Enough, already. You're causing a scene.
Copy !req
180. He's tooting his own horn
and wants to be patted on the back.
Copy !req
181. What a pathetic little man.
Copy !req
182. But how did they even
know about A.T. Fields?
Copy !req
183. Our secrets are leaking like a sieve.
Copy !req
184. The Intelligence Department
needs to do its damn job!
Copy !req
185. We will now begin
the activation test of the JA.
Copy !req
186. There is absolutely no danger.
Copy !req
187. Observe from that window
knowing that you are perfectly safe.
Copy !req
188. Ready for activation!
Copy !req
189. - Begin test!
- All power systems engaged!
Copy !req
190. - Pressure values normal.
- Coolant pump system shows green.
Copy !req
191. - Control rods, full withdrawal!
- Power has reached critical.
Copy !req
192. Power output, nominal!
Copy !req
193. Begin walking cycle!
Copy !req
194. Walk ahead, slow! Right foot forward!
Copy !req
195. Roger. Walk ahead, slow!
Right foot forward!
Copy !req
196. Balance stable! Power system shows green!
Copy !req
197. Roger!
Copy !req
198. Proceeding to left foot forward!
Steady as she goes!
Copy !req
199. It's actually walking. I suppose they
do have something to brag about.
Copy !req
200. What is it?
Copy !req
201. This is strange.
Pressure inside the reactor is climbing!
Copy !req
202. Primary coolant loop temperatures rising!
Copy !req
203. Open valves. Inject moderators!
Copy !req
204. It's not working!
Pump output is not rising!
Copy !req
205. Damn. Power it down. Emergency shutdown!
Copy !req
206. - Shutdown signal sent!
- Signal not received!
Copy !req
207. - Radio channel also dead!
- Control has been lost!
Copy !req
208. This can't be happening...
Copy !req
209. This robot is just as big a jerk
as its creator.
Copy !req
210. Abnormalities in pressurizer!
Copy !req
211. Control rod mechanism fail!
Copy !req
212. At this rate, there is a risk
of a core meltdown!
Copy !req
213. I can't believe it...
Copy !req
214. The JA's programming
is supposed to anticipate
Copy !req
215. and deal with any possible contingency.
Copy !req
216. This situation shouldn't be possible.
Copy !req
217. And yet we're looking at
an impending core meltdown!
Copy !req
218. The only thing we can still do
is wait for it to shut down on its own.
Copy !req
219. What are the odds of that?
Copy !req
220. They're 0.00002%. It would take a miracle.
Copy !req
221. I prefer desperate action over waiting for
a miracle. Tell me how to shut it down!
Copy !req
222. We've tried everything!
Copy !req
223. No, I bet there's still a last resort,
a command to wipe the whole thing.
Copy !req
224. Give me that password.
Copy !req
225. Total program deletion is top secret.
Copy !req
226. It's not my call to make.
I don't have the authority to tell you.
Copy !req
227. Then get the authority! Right now!
Copy !req
228. Yes, it's me. Get me Mr. Manda in Tokyo-2.
Copy !req
229. Yes, the Home Ministry Director.
Copy !req
230. Oh, you mean that.
I delegated all that to Yasugi.
Copy !req
231. Ask him.
Copy !req
232. A decision that big
can't be made over the phone!
Copy !req
233. Can you send me
a formal request in writing?
Copy !req
234. Then if I get permission from
Mr. Yoshizawa, you'll approve?
Copy !req
235. Yes, I have Mr. Witz's approval already.
Copy !req
236. - Yes. Yes, thank you.
- They're all passing the buck.
Copy !req
237. Official orders are on their way.
This has to be done properly.
Copy !req
238. That won't cut it! It won't do any good
if they come after that thing blows!
Copy !req
239. Jet Alone is currently
heading towards Atsugi.
Copy !req
240. We're out of time.
I'm taking action on my own authority.
Copy !req
241. No offense.
Copy !req
242. Hello, Hyuga?
I've worked things out with Atsugi,
Copy !req
243. so send Shinji and Unit 01
over here with Type F gear.
Copy !req
244. Right, it's an emergency.
Copy !req
245. You'll never pull it off.
Forget it, Capt. Katsuragi.
Copy !req
246. Anyway, how would you even
go about stopping it?
Copy !req
247. Up close and personal. By hand.
Copy !req
248. Are you serious?
Copy !req
249. Yes.
Copy !req
250. But the interior is already flooded
with contamination. It's too dangerous.
Copy !req
251. If this works, it will save everyone.
Copy !req
252. You'll be able to manually open the hatch
once the command signal from us stops.
Copy !req
253. You can get inside
through the backpack rig.
Copy !req
254. "Hope."
Copy !req
255. That's the password for
full program deletion.
Copy !req
256. Thanks.
Copy !req
257. Our target is the JA. There's a risk of a
reactor meltdown in the next five minutes.
Copy !req
258. So we can't let it come any closer
to a population center.
Copy !req
259. - Hyuga?
- Ma'am?
Copy !req
260. Once you cut the Eva loose,
get clear and climb to a safe altitude.
Copy !req
261. - Roger.
- Shinji?
Copy !req
262. Yes, ma'am?
Copy !req
263. Run alongside the target
and put me onto its back.
Copy !req
264. After that, try to stall the JA
any way you can.
Copy !req
265. You're going inside that thing?
Copy !req
266. - Right.
- That's nuts!
Copy !req
267. Trust me, I know.
It's our best shot, though.
Copy !req
268. But it's too dangerous!
Copy !req
269. Don't worry. Your Eva will be fine
even if it blows up in your face.
Copy !req
270. That's not what I meant!
It's too dangerous for you!
Copy !req
271. Well, we have to do everything we can.
Copy !req
272. It wouldn't sit right otherwise, right?
Copy !req
273. I have eyes on the target!
Copy !req
274. Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
275. Eva drop zone reached!
Copy !req
276. - Release docking lock!
- Roger.
Copy !req
277. - We've caught up!
- Less than four minutes to go!
Copy !req
278. Grab onto it!
Copy !req
279. Don't worry! Just set me up there!
Copy !req
280. Ms. Misato!
Copy !req
281. Be careful.
Copy !req
282. Wow, that's hot! This doesn't look good.
Copy !req
283. Stop, damn it!
Copy !req
284. Ms. Misato, hurry!
Copy !req
285. This is it.
Copy !req
286. HOPE
Copy !req
287. "Error"? What's the deal?
Copy !req
288. There's no other explanation.
The program's been tampered with!
Copy !req
289. Reactor will hit prompt criticality
in zero point two!
Copy !req
290. Control rods aren't activating!
Copy !req
291. Here goes nothing.
Copy !req
292. Ms. Misato! Get out of there!
Copy !req
293. Damn it, move! You piece of...
Copy !req
294. Ms. Misato!
Copy !req
295. Zero point one to prompt criticality!
Copy !req
296. It's no use, it's going to blow!
Copy !req
297. - We failed...
- Ms. Misato!
Copy !req
298. She did it!
Copy !req
299. - Pressure down!
- All readings normal!
Copy !req
300. - We're saved!
- She did it!
Copy !req
301. She did it!
Copy !req
302. That fool...
Copy !req
303. Ms. Misato, are you all right?
Copy !req
304. Ms. Misato!
Copy !req
305. Yeah, but I feel like crap...
Copy !req
306. Thank goodness! You're okay, then?
Copy !req
307. Wow, that's great... What a relief.
Copy !req
308. You were amazing!
I was so wrong about you!
Copy !req
309. A miracle really did happen!
Copy !req
310. Yeah.
Copy !req
311. But this little miracle
was arranged by someone.
Copy !req
312. Unit 01 has been retrieved safely.
There's no danger of contamination.
Copy !req
313. Aside from Capt. Katsuragi's actions,
everything went according to scenario.
Copy !req
314. Well done.
Copy !req
315. Morning...
Copy !req
316. Next up, a nice morning shower!
Copy !req
317. Where did I leave my bra and panties?
Copy !req
318. Good morning, Mr. Ikari!
Copy !req
319. Yeah, good morning.
Copy !req
320. See you later!
Copy !req
321. Have a nice day!
Copy !req
322. Ms. Misato is so cool...
Copy !req
323. I thought so, too,
but she's so embarrassing at home!
Copy !req
324. She's sloppy, dresses like a bum,
and is a complete slob!
Copy !req
325. Watching her act like that
makes me cringe!
Copy !req
326. That makes me extra jealous.
Copy !req
327. How come?
Copy !req
328. - You're such a baby, Ikari.
- You said it!
Copy !req
329. And why is that?
Copy !req
330. That's the real Misato,
the one we outsiders never see.
Copy !req
331. That means you're family.
