1. I'll tell you, but it's just between you and me.Copy !req
2. I'll tell you what's happening
in this society, what's beginning...Copy !req
3. ...just because you don't know about it.Copy !req
4. No, that's not it.Copy !req
5. I'm just watching.Copy !req
6. I mean, the me in the Wired is...Copy !req
7. Right. She's becoming less and less like me.Copy !req
8. I don't really know.Copy !req
9. Huh? Who?Copy !req
10. Sis?Copy !req
11. My sister's been acting different lately.Copy !req
12. I... I'm not sure.Copy !req
13. Right.Copy !req
14. Fine, suit yourself.Copy !req
15. I know.Copy !req
16. The real world and the
Wired are attached end to end.Copy !req
17. I can exist anywhere.Copy !req
18. No matter where my body is, I can
send my consciousness anywhere I want.Copy !req
19. It's time for the EMA Motor Consortium banquet.Copy !req
20. Right.Copy !req
21. Mail.Copy !req
22. I'll be down in three minutes.Copy !req
23. Very well.Copy !req
24. What game do you want to play this time?Copy !req
25. Try some of this...Copy !req
26. That's right, you morons...Copy !req
27. I'm better than you bozos!Copy !req
28. The real world isn't real at all.Copy !req
29. Lain?Copy !req
30. Are you okay?Copy !req
31. Why do you ask?Copy !req
32. Lately, you've been... slipping again, Lain.Copy !req
33. We... We wanted to make you happy,
so we've been taking you out with us.Copy !req
34. That's what we were trying to do. Honest.Copy !req
35. But if you weren't happy, I apologize.Copy !req
36. No! That's not it...Copy !req
37. Of course I was having fun...Copy !req
38. I've had a great time.Copy !req
39. Glad to hear it.Copy !req
40. Arisu!Copy !req
41. Yeah?Copy !req
42. Um... Thanks. Thanks for worrying about me.Copy !req
43. That's what friends are for, right?Copy !req
44. See you.Copy !req
45. This afternoon, the firewall
of the Information Bureau's...Copy !req
46. ...Information Control Center was
cracked and destroyed by some party,Copy !req
47. and information in the Wired
Network is currently in disarray.Copy !req
48. This news report is being
sent out at this moment,Copy !req
49. but please be aware that it may
arrive tomorrow, or possibly yesterday.Copy !req
50. Looks like it was the Knights.Copy !req
51. "Knights"? Who's that?Copy !req
52. "Knights." The Knights of the Eastern Calculus,Copy !req
53. said to have great influence in the Wired.Copy !req
54. Members comprising the group: unknown.Copy !req
55. They are not only involved in
mere information manipulation,Copy !req
56. they also are involved in the
development and distribution...Copy !req
57. ...of illegal information devices.Copy !req
58. I hear somebody's after Lain!Copy !req
59. Lain? Who's that?Copy !req
60. Lain. Search has no matches.Copy !req
61. I haven't seen Lain around lately.Copy !req
62. Who the hell is Lain?Copy !req
63. A girl.Copy !req
64. A girl?Copy !req
65. She's powerful!Copy !req
66. How?Copy !req
67. Her metamorphosis. Her will. Her power.Copy !req
68. The light in her eyes. Her existence.Copy !req
69. Hey, can I ask you something?Copy !req
70. What?Copy !req
71. You wouldn't happen to be
a Knights member, would you?Copy !req
72. Just a minute!Copy !req
73. Delivery, ma'am!Copy !req
74. Let me get my stamp.Copy !req
75. I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to keep you waiting so long.Copy !req
76. That's okay, ma'am.Copy !req
77. Okay, here's my stamp.Copy !req
78. What is it?Copy !req
79. That Navi.Copy !req
80. That's a new model, right? I wish I had one.Copy !req
81. I bought it with money from my home job.Copy !req
82. Even working at a job like this,
I'd never be able to buy one of those.Copy !req
83. Here you are.Copy !req
84. Well, keep working for it.Copy !req
85. Sure thing.Copy !req
86. Yeah, you're right...
If I don't work hard, I'll never...Copy !req
87. If you have trouble with anything,
let me know. I can teach you.Copy !req
88. You'll teach me?Copy !req
89. Sure. I'm pretty good.Copy !req
90. So this is how you seduce
bored housewives, huh?Copy !req
91. No, I just...Copy !req
92. Well, maybe a little.Copy !req
93. I'm home!Copy !req
94. Well, thanks.Copy !req
95. Mom, can I go over to Kinya's to play later?Copy !req
96. If you're going to play a game,
can't you just do it over the Net?Copy !req
97. He's gonna teach me how to play it!Copy !req
98. The Wired and the real
world are one and the same.Copy !req
99. W-What?Copy !req
100. Ms. Lain Iwakura.
Would you please come with us?Copy !req
101. We won't force you. This is a request.Copy !req
102. We have no intention to harm you physically.Copy !req
103. Who are you?Copy !req
104. If you come with us, we'll tell you.Copy !req
105. I... I don't want to be here.
You understand that, don't you?Copy !req
106. Just look at all I can do! Look!Copy !req
107. I'm breaking the barrier
between the real world and the Wired.Copy !req
108. Come on, I think I'm plenty qualified.Copy !req
109. Let me into the Knights!Copy !req
110. You're impressed, huh?Copy !req
111. I tracked you down all by myself!Copy !req
112. This is your dedicated
top-secret channel, right?Copy !req
113. Come on, make me one of you!Copy !req
114. W-Who are you?!Copy !req
115. "Tachibana General Laboratories Shinbashi Office"Copy !req
116. Could you come here for a minute?Copy !req
117. I can't seem to get the main office's
firewall to recognize this machine.Copy !req
118. I've done everything
I can on the app end of things.Copy !req
119. I guess it's hopeless
with an old machine like this.Copy !req
120. But I've always used this thing...Copy !req
121. I just can't work up the interest
to switch over to a new Navi.Copy !req
122. Not at my age.Copy !req
123. If I were as young as you, though...Copy !req
124. That jumper there.Copy !req
125. Try removing this jumper
and that one over there.Copy !req
126. Sorry, could you do it for me?Copy !req
127. Authorized.Copy !req
128. L-Lain? You're one of the Knights?!Copy !req
129. You are, aren't you, Lain? I had no idea!Copy !req
130. Moron.Copy !req
131. W-Wait! Please!Copy !req
132. That game you've been playing
with those kids lately is the greatest!Copy !req
133. But I have an even better idea.Copy !req
134. So, please! Make me one
of you! Make me a Knight!Copy !req
135. Please, make me one of you!Copy !req
136. Some say that the Wired doesn't
have political borders like the real world.Copy !req
137. But there are far too many...Copy !req
138. ...nonsense-spouting anarchists or idiots
who think that pranks are a revolution.Copy !req
139. But the Knights don't
seem to be either of those.Copy !req
140. Knights...Copy !req
141. I don't know how much of
what you do is intentional.Copy !req
142. Your presence in the Wired is highly unnatural.Copy !req
143. And the Knights seem to
have a special interest in you.Copy !req
144. I... I don't... I don't
understand what you're...Copy !req
145. The Knights... You've been in
direct contact with them at some point.Copy !req
146. But I... I don't...Copy !req
147. At any rate, it looks like they
want to use you for something.Copy !req
148. We believe that is something that
must be prevented, no matter the cost.Copy !req
149. W-What... are you? Who are you?Copy !req
150. Your secret's safe with me. You bet!Copy !req
151. You believe in Deus, right?
I'll follow your lead.Copy !req
152. But is it true? Is God really in the Wired?Copy !req
153. I'm not ready to believe that yet.Copy !req
154. But if you let me join you,
I'll be able to learn more.Copy !req
155. Then I'll believe!Copy !req
156. Is that you?Copy !req
157. You came!Copy !req
158. You came for me!Copy !req
159. My name...Copy !req
160. It's meaningless to know my real name.Copy !req
161. I, and those gentlemen there, have no name.Copy !req
162. Tell me.Copy !req
163. Lain Iwakura, are you and the
Lain of the Wired one and the same?Copy !req
164. Who are you?Copy !req
165. I... I'm...Copy !req
166. Are your parents your real parents?Copy !req
167. Huh?Copy !req
168. Is your sister your real sister?Copy !req
169. W-What are you saying? O-Of course they are...Copy !req
170. When is your father's birthday?Copy !req
171. Dad's... His...Copy !req
172. What about your mother's birthday?
When did your parents get married?Copy !req
173. Did they meet, or was it arranged?Copy !req
174. Th-That's... I...Copy !req
175. Why don't you know? You never asked?Copy !req
176. You've never celebrated a birthday in
your family? Not since you were little?Copy !req
177. Well?Copy !req
178. When were you born? Where?Copy !req
179. I... What does it matter? It...Copy !req
180. You don't know? You don't know anything?Copy !req
181. Are you okay? You don't know anything.Copy !req
182. Shut up, damn it...Copy !req
183. Who cares about that crap?
Like any of it matters...Copy !req
184. You're Lain of the Wired?Copy !req
185. So what if I am?Copy !req
186. If you're here without a device,
you know that the border between...Copy !req
187. ...the real world and the Wired
is starting to crumble, don't you?Copy !req
188. So?Copy !req
189. We believe that to be dangerous.Copy !req
190. Sounds interesting.Copy !req
191. Move it.Copy !req
192. What's the big idea?Copy !req
193. You are what's dangerous.Copy !req
194. Karl!Copy !req
195. It's as she said.
Something interesting is beginning.Copy !req
196. We should just watch from the sidelines.Copy !req
197. Shou!Copy !req
198. Yeah, Mom?Copy !req
199. Let me play, too!Copy !req
200. Are you done with work?Copy !req
201. You bet!Copy !req
202. I'm the greatest!Copy !req
203. I'm gonna get ya, Shou!Copy !req
204. See? Say your prayers!Copy !req
205. Watch this!Copy !req
206. I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.Copy !req
207. I didn't start this, but
I have to finish it somehow.Copy !req
208. I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.Copy !req
209. I get the feeling my freedom cost me dearly,Copy !req
210. but I don't remember selling my soul cheaply.Copy !req
211. Hey, hey!Copy !req
212. Until I die and say goodbye...Copy !req
213. Hey, hey!Copy !req
214. ...no one will ever catch me.Copy !req
215. You probably don't know the eternal outlaws...Copy !req
216. ...who wander the distant night.Copy !req
