1. If you want to be free of suffering,
you should believe in God.
Copy !req
2. Whether or not you believe in
Him, God is always by your side.
Copy !req
3. On July 4, 1 947, a strange craft crashed
in the desert in New Mexico, America.
Copy !req
4. What it was has yet to be proven.
Copy !req
5. Conjecture has become fact,
and rumor has become history.
Copy !req
6. Who's there?
Copy !req
7. In 1 984, a manila envelope arrived at
the home of TV producer Jaime Shandera.
Copy !req
8. The envelope, from an anonymous source,
contained a roll of undeveloped film.
Copy !req
9. The film contained what is
called the MJ-1 2 Document.
Copy !req
10. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, head of the
CIA at the time of the Roswell Incident,
Copy !req
11. was at the top of the list of 1 2 members.
Copy !req
12. It stated that these men concluded
a secret treaty with extraterrestrials...
Copy !req
13. ...as a special organization
answerable only to the president.
Copy !req
14. It is now accepted that President
Truman's signature on the document...
Copy !req
15. ...was in fact copied carefully
from another document.
Copy !req
16. Named as a member of MJ-1 2 was Vannevar Bush,
Copy !req
17. head of MIT's Department
of Electrical Engineering.
Copy !req
18. Connect to Wired.
Copy !req
19. How could I turn something that
did happen into something that didn't?
Copy !req
20. Are you Lain? I see, I see...
Copy !req
21. I don't know you.
Copy !req
22. But you know me...
Copy !req
23. The flow of information
doesn't always go both ways.
Copy !req
24. Since the moment of the Wired's
creation, you have always been here.
Copy !req
25. Here, you are free.
Copy !req
26. I'm trying to tell you that that's not me!
Copy !req
27. I suppose.
Copy !req
28. How long have we been here, then?
Copy !req
29. At the very least, we cannot have
been here since this world was created.
Copy !req
30. That has nothing to do with it!
Copy !req
31. If a being is remembered, that
proves that it's part of a record!
Copy !req
32. That's preposterous.
Copy !req
33. How old do you think this
"Lain" girl is? She's still a child!
Copy !req
34. Let's not worry about me now, okay? I--
Copy !req
35. The memex memory expansion concept
unveiled by Vannevar Bush in 1 945...
Copy !req
36. ...was a system whereby
information recorded on microfilm...
Copy !req
37. ...was projected onto a translucent screen.
Copy !req
38. What he envisioned was the
compression and rapid access of information.
Copy !req
39. Even before the advent of computers,
Copy !req
40. Bush had already created the
basis for our current multimedia...
Copy !req
41. ...while he led the Manhattan
Project atom bomb experiments.
Copy !req
42. You forgot this.
Copy !req
43. You forgot this on the floor here yesterday.
Copy !req
44. If you don't need it, I'll toss it.
Copy !req
45. I left that here?
Copy !req
46. That's what I'm sayin'.
Copy !req
47. Conducting sensory
deprivation experiments using...
Copy !req
48. ...Native American narcotics and isolation
tanks to probe the human unconscious,
Copy !req
49. John C. Lilly believed his experiments
connected him to cosmic entities...
Copy !req
50. ...by way of a communication network.
Copy !req
51. Lilly dubbed the beings
that guided him E.C.C.O.,
Copy !req
52. Earth Coincidence Control Office.
Copy !req
53. Afterwards, Lilly began work
on communication with dolphins.
Copy !req
54. Dolphins are creatures
which are able to conduct...
Copy !req
55. ...wide-range networking in
the water via ultrasonic waves.
Copy !req
56. What?
Copy !req
57. You promised me earlier.
Copy !req
58. Promised what?
Copy !req
59. That you'd go out with me.
Copy !req
60. You said you'd go out with me!
Copy !req
61. W-What're you talking about?
Copy !req
62. Taro, is that true?
Copy !req
63. Did I?
Copy !req
64. You didn't! You didn't!
Copy !req
65. Even if I did, you aren't the you
I want to go out with right now, Lain.
Copy !req
66. Taro, you moron!
Copy !req
67. We're the same. I'm me. I'm the only me.
Copy !req
68. Awesome!
Copy !req
69. I can't believe you put
together something like this!
Copy !req
70. Oh, okay...! This syncs
up the parallel processors!
Copy !req
71. It's not pretty, but you can
keep on expanding it this way.
Copy !req
72. What're you using as coolant?
Copy !req
73. Taro...
Copy !req
74. Is this liquid carbon?
Copy !req
75. Sit down over there.
Copy !req
76. Damn...
Copy !req
77. I think you know what this is.
Copy !req
78. It's you, isn't it, Taro?
Copy !req
79. You're with the Knights, aren't you?
Copy !req
80. You're... the real Lain.
Copy !req
81. I don't know whether or not
there's another me in the Wired.
Copy !req
82. But there's definitely no
other me here in the real world.
Copy !req
83. The other one with a body
has only appeared in the club.
Copy !req
84. You only need to manipulate the
memories of the people there, right?
Copy !req
85. I... I can't...
Copy !req
86. Play track 44.
Copy !req
87. It's almost over, isn't it?
Copy !req
88. Finally.
Copy !req
89. So while we still can, we should...
Copy !req
90. Roger.
Copy !req
91. Now communicating.
Copy !req
92. Stop.
Copy !req
93. It's not me!
Copy !req
94. But I knew the data coming into
JJ's place had this kind of effect.
Copy !req
95. If I had installed this chip,
what would've happened to me?
Copy !req
96. Would I have killed myself? Gone insane?
Copy !req
97. I said I don't know!
Copy !req
98. There's no way a kid like me
could be a formal Knights member!
Copy !req
99. I'm just a--
Copy !req
100. I wonder what this will do?
Copy !req
101. I-It's non-volatile memory!
It'll overwrite existing memories!
Copy !req
102. What kind of memories?
Copy !req
103. I-I don't know.
Copy !req
104. The Knights aren't just
ordinary crackers, Lain.
Copy !req
105. There's something strange
about you. That's for sure.
Copy !req
106. That's why the Knights are so interested.
Copy !req
107. The Knights are users who are fighting...
Copy !req
108. ...to make the one and only
truth there is into a reality.
Copy !req
109. I don't understand.
What do you mean, "one and only"?
Copy !req
110. Like I said, I'm not a formal Knights member.
Copy !req
111. They never explained it to me.
Copy !req
112. But it's true. The truth has
power because it's the truth.
Copy !req
113. And because it's the truth, that makes it just.
Copy !req
114. It's persuasive, isn't it?
Don't you want truth like that?
Copy !req
115. I'm going.
Copy !req
116. Myu-Myu is jealous of you.
Copy !req
117. Taro...? Thank you.
Copy !req
118. You...
Copy !req
119. Hey, this is a date, you know?
I'm a guy. I had to do that.
Copy !req
120. Ted Nelson, who studied
under the two cult pioneers...
Copy !req
121. ...Vannevar Bush and John C. Lilly,
Copy !req
122. proposed a giant electronic library
in satellites in stationary orbit...
Copy !req
123. ...which could be used at any
terminal on Earth via radio or phone lines.
Copy !req
124. He called this concept that
would make this database "Xanadu."
Copy !req
125. The Mongolian utopia where all
written cultures would never be lost.
Copy !req
126. This was Xanadu.
Copy !req
127. It was the concept of
Hypertext that would make it real,
Copy !req
128. and Ted Nelson's name would
go down in history as its originator.
Copy !req
129. Hello, Navi.
Copy !req
130. Click, click... Memory check...
Copy !req
131. Click, click, click...
Copy !req
132. That's... That's me?
Copy !req
133. Yes. This is me.
Copy !req
134. Then who are they?
Copy !req
135. I'm you, so I wouldn't know.
Copy !req
136. This is a lie.
Copy !req
137. It's a lie. It's all a lie.
Copy !req
138. Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
139. The Earth has its own
specific electromagnetic waves.
Copy !req
140. Between the ionosphere and the Earth's surface,
Copy !req
141. ...there is a constant resonance at
a frequency of 8Hz in the ELF band.
Copy !req
142. This is called the Schumann Resonance.
Copy !req
143. The extent of the effect on
humans of these "Earth Brain Waves"...
Copy !req
144. ...that the planet constantly
gives off remains unknown.
Copy !req
145. The Earth's human
population is approaching that of...
Copy !req
146. ...the number of neurons in the brain.
Copy !req
147. Douglas Rushkoff proposes that
the consciousness of the Earth itself...
Copy !req
148. ...might be awakened when all humans
on Earth become collectively networked.
Copy !req
149. The network's evolution
would follow a neural model,
Copy !req
150. and just as neurons within the
human brain are connected by synapses,
Copy !req
151. the Earth itself would become a neural network.
Copy !req
152. There is only one truth. God.
Copy !req
153. Yes. Me.
Copy !req
154. Masami Eiri, Chief Researcher
at Tachibana General Labs,
Copy !req
155. further developed the hypothesis
of a worldwide neural network.
Copy !req
156. His hypothesis proposed a
wireless network whereby all humanity...
Copy !req
157. ...would be plugged in at an unconscious
level without the need for any device.
Copy !req
158. Furthermore, he encoded the
Schumann Resonance Factor...
Copy !req
159. ...and inserted it into the 7th-gen
Wired Protocol on his own initiative.
Copy !req
160. Upon discovering this,
Tachibana General Labs dismissed Eiri.
Copy !req
161. One week later, Masami Eiri's body
was found on the Yamanote train line.
Copy !req
162. I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.
Copy !req
163. I didn't start this, but
I have to finish it somehow.
Copy !req
164. I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.
Copy !req
165. I get the feeling my freedom cost me dearly,
Copy !req
166. but I don't remember selling my soul cheaply.
Copy !req
167. Hey, hey!
Copy !req
168. Until I die and say goodbye...
Copy !req
169. Hey, hey!
Copy !req
170. ...no one will ever catch me.
Copy !req
171. You probably don't know the eternal outlaws...
Copy !req
172. ...who wander the distant night.
Copy !req
