1. Oh, okay... So that's how it works.
Copy !req
2. I had no idea the world was this simple.
Copy !req
3. I always thought the world
was such a big and scary place,
Copy !req
4. but once you figure it out, it's all so easy.
Copy !req
5. See? I told you it would be.
Copy !req
6. That's terrible, Lain!
Copy !req
7. I can't believe you just said that!
Copy !req
8. Lain...
Copy !req
9. I know, but it's true!
Copy !req
10. --That's the first I've heard of it!
Copy !req
11. --What does it mean?
--That's the first I've heard of it!
Copy !req
12. --What does it mean?
--Acting all high and mighty again, huh, Lain?
Copy !req
13. That reminds me, Juri.
Copy !req
14. What?
Copy !req
15. "You should just rewrite bad memories."
Copy !req
16. But that's...
Copy !req
17. But that's--
Copy !req
18. Unbelievable...
Copy !req
19. Aw, c'mon...!
Copy !req
20. People only have substance
within the memories of others.
Copy !req
21. That's why there were all kinds of me's.
Copy !req
22. There weren't a lot of me's,
Copy !req
23. I was just inside all
sorts of people, that's all.
Copy !req
24. Really... No kidding?
Copy !req
25. Come on, Taro, who are you talking to?
Copy !req
26. W-What's up?
Copy !req
27. You know, I...
Copy !req
28. I kissed an angel.
Copy !req
29. Taro...
Copy !req
30. Lain... Lain...
Copy !req
31. Lain...
Copy !req
32. Lain... Lain... Lain...
Copy !req
33. Lain...
Copy !req
34. Lain... Lain...
Copy !req
35. Protocol Seven is expected to allow
the seamless sharing of information...
Copy !req
36. ...between the Wired and the real world.
Copy !req
37. And now, the following message...
Copy !req
38. Let's all love Lain! Let's all love Lain!
Copy !req
39. Let's all love... Let's all...
Let's... Let's... Let's...
Copy !req
40. All the functions of the
human body, without exception,
Copy !req
41. can be put into words and
described in materialistic terms.
Copy !req
42. The body is nothing but a machine.
Copy !req
43. If the physical limitations of the
body restrict mankind's evolution,
Copy !req
44. it would be as if the fall of
the species called "man"...
Copy !req
45. ...had already been decided
by a God that doesn't even exist.
Copy !req
46. The information etched inside
humans isn't only that which...
Copy !req
47. ...they themselves have acquired as individuals.
Copy !req
48. This species called man is
connected to his predecessors,
Copy !req
49. and information has accumulated within him.
Copy !req
50. If that information isn't shared,
it's meaningless. Mere data.
Copy !req
51. Mankind can evolve. Evolve by their own power.
Copy !req
52. But to do that, they must
first know what they truly are.
Copy !req
53. What do you think you are?
Copy !req
54. Originally, people were connected to each other.
Copy !req
55. All I've done is to make
things as they once were.
Copy !req
56. That's what you have done, Lain.
Copy !req
57. So you can do anything you want.
Copy !req
58. I thought you quit smoking.
Copy !req
59. Why is this happening? We did
exactly what we were told to do!
Copy !req
60. It means that our client wasn't
the only one who thought that...
Copy !req
61. ...those computer geeks playing
"secret society" would be trouble.
Copy !req
62. What do you mean?
Copy !req
63. Our client was in contact with Masami Eiri.
Copy !req
64. No, maybe Eiri was behind it all.
Copy !req
65. Enough about Eiri, okay?
Copy !req
66. The guy's dead.
Copy !req
67. He's not dead.
Copy !req
68. Whether he had a body or not never mattered.
Copy !req
69. It never mattered.
Copy !req
70. Are you serious?
Copy !req
71. Payment for services rendered, huh?
Copy !req
72. You've been using us, haven't you?!
Copy !req
73. Interpret it any way you like.
Copy !req
74. You want us to leave town, huh? And go where?
Copy !req
75. I suppose a place with no power
lines that isn't covered by a satellite.
Copy !req
76. There's no place like that
on Earth, and you know it!
Copy !req
77. If you're going to run, you'll
have to find a place like that.
Copy !req
78. What's going to happen?
Copy !req
79. What are you planning to do...
Copy !req
80. ...by connecting the Wired to
the real world without any devices?
Copy !req
81. Something wonderful is going to happen.
Copy !req
82. I'm looking forward to it. Aren't you?
Copy !req
83. What the--?
Copy !req
84. What's wrong?!
Copy !req
85. What are you seeing?!
Copy !req
86. Hey!
Copy !req
87. "Iwakura"
Copy !req
88. Lain?
Copy !req
89. No...!
Copy !req
90. This is Lain's room?
Copy !req
91. Lain?
Copy !req
92. L-Lain!
Copy !req
93. A... risu?
Copy !req
94. What did you do?
Copy !req
95. Nothing.
Copy !req
96. I've just been watching.
Copy !req
97. Watching what?
Copy !req
98. I... I thought I had gone crazy.
Copy !req
99. But I didn't!
Copy !req
100. Lain! Why did you leave only me?
Copy !req
101. Why did you only leave my memories alone?
Copy !req
102. Why do I always have to
remember all those horrible things?!
Copy !req
103. Do you hate me that much, Lain?
Copy !req
104. I... I can't take this!
Copy !req
105. No... You've got it all wrong, Arisu.
Copy !req
106. I didn't want to hurt you.
Copy !req
107. Liar! Look at what you've done!
Copy !req
108. But you're okay, aren't you, Arisu?
Copy !req
109. You were my friend, even
without connecting with me, Arisu.
Copy !req
110. What are you saying?
Copy !req
111. You're my only friend, Arisu.
Copy !req
112. Even without connecting with me.
Copy !req
113. "Connecting"? W-What do you mean?
Copy !req
114. Connecting to me... And everyone...
Copy !req
115. S-Stop!
Copy !req
116. I love you, Arisu.
Copy !req
117. Do you know what you're saying, Lain?
Copy !req
118. Humans were originally
connected at an unconscious level.
Copy !req
119. I reconnected them, that's all.
Copy !req
120. Lain, you...?
Copy !req
121. I don't do anything.
Copy !req
122. It doesn't matter which is
real, this side or the other...
Copy !req
123. I was in both.
Copy !req
124. I'm a program designed
to destroy the barrier...
Copy !req
125. ...between the Wired and the real world.
Copy !req
126. You're a program, Lain...?
Copy !req
127. You and everyone else,
Arisu, you're just applications.
Copy !req
128. The truth is, you don't need bodies.
Copy !req
129. You're wrong.
Copy !req
130. I don't really understand what
you're saying, but I think you're wrong.
Copy !req
131. Your body's cold, but you're alive, Lain.
Copy !req
132. Mine, too. See?
Copy !req
133. See? My heart...
Copy !req
134. ...it's beating.
Copy !req
135. Beating... Beating...
Copy !req
136. But why? Why's it beating like that?
Copy !req
137. Because I'm scared.
It's pounding because I'm scared.
Copy !req
138. But you're smiling, Arisu.
Copy !req
139. Yeah, I guess I am. But I'm scared.
Copy !req
140. I've always been scared. I wonder why?
Copy !req
141. I wonder why?
Copy !req
142. Because she's afraid of losing her body.
Copy !req
143. All sensations are caused
by impulses in the brain.
Copy !req
144. You just need to block the unpleasant impulses.
Copy !req
145. Select only the happy, pleasant ones.
Copy !req
146. Really?
Copy !req
147. Lain? Who are you talking to?
Copy !req
148. If you really love her, why
don't you connect with her?
Copy !req
149. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
150. Lain? Who are you talking to?
Copy !req
151. Lain!
Copy !req
152. You must have a bug.
Copy !req
153. Very well. I'll take my time and
give you a thorough debugging.
Copy !req
154. Come, Lain.
Copy !req
155. What I don't understand is you, God.
Copy !req
156. Y-You're... talking to God?
Copy !req
157. What don't you understand, Lain?
Copy !req
158. What you did was to
remove devices from the Wired.
Copy !req
159. Phones... Television... The network...
Copy !req
160. Without those, you couldn't have done anything.
Copy !req
161. Yes. Those are things which
accompanied human evolution.
Copy !req
162. Humans who are further evolved than others...
Copy !req
163. ...have a right to greater abilities.
Copy !req
164. Who gave you those rights?
Copy !req
165. The program that inserted
code synched to the Earth's...
Copy !req
166. ...characteristic frequency
into the Protocol Seven code,
Copy !req
167. which would raise the collective
unconscious to the conscious level.
Copy !req
168. Did you really come up
with the idea by yourself?
Copy !req
169. What are you getting at?
Copy !req
170. No, it can't be... It can't be!
Copy !req
171. Are you telling me
that there really is a God?!
Copy !req
172. It doesn't matter.
With no body, you can't understand.
Copy !req
173. It's a lie! I... I'm omnipotent!
Copy !req
174. I gave you a body here in the real world!
Copy !req
175. You were omnipresent, scattered
through the Wired! I gave you an ego!
Copy !req
176. You mean to say--
Copy !req
177. If that's true of me, what about you?
Copy !req
178. I'm different! I--
Copy !req
179. The Wired isn't an
upper layer of the real world.
Copy !req
180. What do you mean?
Copy !req
181. Inside the Wired, you were God, all right.
Copy !req
182. But what about before
the Wired was created?
Copy !req
183. You're just an acting God,
standing in for someone...
Copy !req
184. ...who was waiting for the
Wired to reach its current state.
Copy !req
185. An "acting" God?!
Copy !req
186. That can't be!
Copy !req
187. Arisu!
Copy !req
188. A body doesn't mean anything to you, right?
Copy !req
189. No!
Copy !req
190. I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.
Copy !req
191. I didn't start this, but
I have to finish it somehow.
Copy !req
192. I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.
Copy !req
193. I get the feeling my freedom cost me dearly,
Copy !req
194. but I don't remember selling my soul cheaply.
Copy !req
195. Hey, hey!
Copy !req
196. Until I die and say goodbye...
Copy !req
197. Hey, hey!
Copy !req
198. ...no one will ever catch me.
Copy !req
199. You probably don't know the eternal outlaws...
Copy !req
200. ...who wander the distant night.
Copy !req
