1. To those who loved this world...
Copy !req
2. and knew friendly
company therein:
Copy !req
3. This Reunion is for you.
Copy !req
4. 498 Years Earlier
Copy !req
5. Why does humankind even bother?
Copy !req
6. You wreck everything
you've ever made...
Copy !req
7. then you start over like it'll be
any different the next time.
Copy !req
8. I suppose we're no good
at facing our memories.
Copy !req
9. We'd rather gild the past...
Copy !req
10. find something worthwhile among
the rubble and build a future with that.
Copy !req
11. And that's why you
salvaged Mother?
Copy !req
12. To "gild the past"?
Copy !req
13. We were trying to rid ourselves
of a more immediate problem.
Copy !req
14. You can't mean the stigma?
Copy !req
15. But you're the ones who brought
that on yourselves in the first place.
Copy !req
16. Well, now.
Copy !req
17. I guess you really
do have a short memory.
Copy !req
18. No. Not me.
Copy !req
19. You see, it is my choice to forget.
Copy !req
20. Two Weeks Earlier
Copy !req
21. Tseng! Look at this.
Copy !req
22. Pay dirt.
Copy !req
23. Not a pretty sight, is it?
Copy !req
24. Who cares?
Just get the damn thing.
Copy !req
25. Reno, the chopper.
Copy !req
26. You got it.
Copy !req
27. - Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Reno, hurry!
Copy !req
28. - Reno!
- Who the hell is that?
Copy !req
29. Elena!
Copy !req
30. Get out!
Copy !req
31. Damn it.
Copy !req
32. The Lifestream.
Copy !req
33. That's what we call the river of life
that circles our planet...
Copy !req
34. giving life to the world
and everything in it.
Copy !req
35. The Shinra Electric Power Company
discovered a way...
Copy !req
36. to use the Lifestream
as an energy source.
Copy !req
37. Because of Shinra's energy, we were
able to live very comfortable lives.
Copy !req
38. But wasn't that because we were
taking away from the planet's life?
Copy !req
39. A lot of people thought so.
Copy !req
40. Shinra used their power to try and
stop anybody who got in their way.
Copy !req
41. Shinra had a special group
of warriors called SOLDIER.
Copy !req
42. And all of the SOLDIERs
had Jenova cells put inside them.
Copy !req
43. Jenova was a calamity that fell
from the sky a long, long time ago...
Copy !req
44. and tried to destroy the planet.
Copy !req
45. Anyway, there was one SOLDIER
named Sephiroth...
Copy !req
46. who was better than the rest.
Copy !req
47. But when he found out about the
terrible experiments that made him...
Copy !req
48. he began to hate Shinra.
Copy !req
49. And then, over time,
he began to hate everything.
Copy !req
50. Shinra and the people
against them.
Copy !req
51. Sephiroth, who hated
the planet so much...
Copy !req
52. he wanted to make it go away.
Copy !req
53. And the people who tried
to stop him.
Copy !req
54. There were a lot of battles.
Copy !req
55. For every battle,
there was more sadness.
Copy !req
56. Someone I love went back
to the Lifestream too.
Copy !req
57. And then, it came.
Copy !req
58. The chosen day.
Copy !req
59. In the end, the planet itself had to
make the battles stop for good.
Copy !req
60. The planet used the Lifestream
as a weapon...
Copy !req
61. and when it burst out
of the earth...
Copy !req
62. all the fighting,
all the greed and sadness...
Copy !req
63. everything was washed away.
Copy !req
64. "Sadness was the price
to see it end."
Copy !req
65. It's been two years
since they told me that.
Copy !req
66. - Hey, let's go.
- Okay.
Copy !req
67. Watch it!
Copy !req
68. But it looks like the planet
is a lot madder than we thought.
Copy !req
69. They call it geostigma.
Copy !req
70. Well, Marlene? How does it look?
Copy !req
71. Please. Please don't
take Denzel away.
Copy !req
72. The commission's report released
this morning has revealed...
Copy !req
73. that Lifestrram concentration
in the atmosphere...
Copy !req
74. has dropped to a mere hundredth
of the levels two years ago...
Copy !req
75. and now poses no threat
to the human body.
Copy !req
76. However, the concentration
remains toxic...
Copy !req
77. He's not here anymore.
Copy !req
78. —around the Shinra Company's
main building and mako reactors.
Copy !req
79. To prevent the onset of geostigma,
the commission does advise...
Copy !req
80. that you stay away from these
facilities and the surrounding areas.
Copy !req
81. Next up: Should Shinra be held
financially responsible for the crisis?
Copy !req
82. Cloud, where are you?
Copy !req
83. Hello, Strife Delivery Service.
You name it, we deliv—
Copy !req
84. May I ask who's calling?
Copy !req
85. Yeah, I remember you.
Copy !req
86. You got a call from Reno.
He's in Healen.
Copy !req
87. Says he's got work for you.
Copy !req
88. Cloud, how have you been?
Copy !req
89. You have no more messa—
Copy !req
90. Hey, Kadaj?
Is that where Big Brother lives?
Copy !req
91. - Yeah.
- Do you think he'll be glad to see us?
Copy !req
92. - Not a chance.
- Don't cry, Yazoo.
Copy !req
93. But Mother's with him?
Copy !req
94. Maybe not.
Copy !req
95. Don't cry, Loz.
Copy !req
96. Hold on, he's coming.
Copy !req
97. Where's Mother?
Copy !req
98. We know you hid her, Brother.
Copy !req
99. Don't tell me you're leading me on?
Copy !req
100. Because I think you do
have Mother there.
Copy !req
101. No need to shout.
Copy !req
102. I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Copy !req
103. Put the president on.
Copy !req
104. Guess I was the last straw.
Copy !req
105. What up, fool, it's Barret!
I am the man!
Copy !req
106. Oil, Cloud! I just found the biggest
damned oil field you ever seen!
Copy !req
107. Surveying's done, so I should be able
to get out there and see Marlene soon.
Copy !req
108. You let her know, all right, Spiky?
Copy !req
109. Reno called again.
Copy !req
110. He says to hurry,
and he sounded kind of strange...
Copy !req
111. Be careful, okay?
Copy !req
112. Okay, so you're good.
Copy !req
113. Yeah, Rude, looking sharp!
Copy !req
114. Good. You fight like the SOLDIER
you once claimed to be.
Copy !req
115. You haven't lost your touch.
Copy !req
116. Rufus Shinra?
Copy !req
117. Do I feel sorry for you.
Copy !req
118. - The day of the explosion...
- What do you want?
Copy !req
119. - ... I managed to get out...
- Who were the guys that attacked me?
Copy !req
120. - ... before it colla—
- I'm leaving.
Copy !req
121. We need your assistance, Cloud.
Copy !req
122. - Not interes—
- I acknowledge that Shinra...
Copy !req
123. owes the planet a lot.
Copy !req
124. It goes without saying
that my company and l...
Copy !req
125. are the ones who put
the world in the sorry state it's in.
Copy !req
126. Therefore, it's our responsibility
to set things right.
Copy !req
127. I'm still out here...?
Copy !req
128. As a first step...
Copy !req
129. we have commenced an
investigation in Sephiroth's wake.
Copy !req
130. It's been two years.
Copy !req
131. Now that the world is on its feet again,
what poses the greatest threat?
Copy !req
132. Well, that one's easy:
Copy !req
133. Geostigma.
Copy !req
134. And we have reason to think
Sephiroth is the one responsible.
Copy !req
135. The populace, they blame
mako energy, and the reactors...
Copy !req
136. even the Lifestream
for causing the stigma.
Copy !req
137. However, isn't that
blame misplaced?
Copy !req
138. The Lifestream has existed
as long as the planet...
Copy !req
139. and even mako energy has been
part of our lives for over 40 years.
Copy !req
140. And yet, there's no mention
of the stigma in recorded history.
Copy !req
141. So, what happened during
our time to change all that?
Copy !req
142. I can think of only one thing.
Copy !req
143. The arrival of Sephiroth.
Copy !req
144. - Sephiroth is dead.
- Yes, but has his mind died?
Copy !req
145. What if he somehow dissolved
into the Lifestream...
Copy !req
146. coursing through
the planet undiffused?
Copy !req
147. I know it is merely my speculation...
Copy !req
148. but it is possible, isn't it?
Copy !req
149. And we can't cure the stigma
until we know the truth.
Copy !req
150. So we took action. We went
to look for traces of Sephiroth.
Copy !req
151. We started—
Copy !req
152. Do you know where?
Copy !req
153. Yup, at the Northern Cave!
Copy !req
154. And what do you think we found?
Copy !req
155. Relax. We didn't find anything.
Copy !req
156. However, not all went as planned.
Copy !req
157. We were interrupted.
Copy !req
158. Get out!
Copy !req
159. Kadaj and his gang.
Copy !req
160. - Kadaj?
- They'll be after you as well.
Copy !req
161. - if they haven't already found you.
- Leave me out of this.
Copy !req
162. Don't think you can keep her
from us for long.
Copy !req
163. How? Your ties to Sephiroth
run as deep as ours do, Cloud.
Copy !req
164. If Kadaj's purpose is to do what's
necessary to prepare for the moment...
Copy !req
165. we stand in the way
as his greatest threat.
Copy !req
166. "Moment"?
Copy !req
167. Sephiroth...
Copy !req
168. - ... reborn.
- Are you done talking?
Copy !req
169. Let's get to the issue at hand.
Copy !req
170. In order to combat Kadaj, we need
someone with your expertise.
Copy !req
171. Will you join us?
You're an ex-SOLDIER, Cloud.
Copy !req
172. That was only in my head.
Copy !req
173. What's this stuff about "Mother"?
Copy !req
174. Why, did Kadaj
mention something?
Copy !req
175. Rufus, if you're hiding something—
Copy !req
176. I'd never keep a secret,
not from a comrade.
Copy !req
177. You must want to learn
all you can about the stigma?
Copy !req
178. Naturally, for the sake
of those orphans you live with.
Copy !req
179. Surely, you long to see
the smiles return to their faces?
Copy !req
180. All we want in the end
is to rebuild our world, Cloud.
Copy !req
181. - But l...
- Come on, Cloud. Think about it.
Copy !req
182. Together we could rebuild Shinra!
Copy !req
183. Not interested.
Copy !req
184. - Reno!
- Reno!
Copy !req
185. Does Cloud live here?
Copy !req
186. I guess he does.
Copy !req
187. What's this?
Copy !req
188. It's just like Denzel! ls Cloud sick?
Copy !req
189. Why didn't he say something?
Copy !req
190. Did he leave because he's sick?
Copy !req
191. He just wants to fight alone.
Copy !req
192. - Fight?
- No.
Copy !req
193. I don't think that he will.
Copy !req
194. Tifa?
Copy !req
195. Let's go home, Marlene.
Copy !req
196. We can't! Cloud's not here yet!
Copy !req
197. I know, sweetie.
Copy !req
198. - I miss him too.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
199. So say he comes back?
Copy !req
200. We'll all go home!
Copy !req
201. Not until he gets a lecture.
Copy !req
202. Uh-huh!
Copy !req
203. Now we just gotta find Elena
and the director.
Copy !req
204. - The employees give you any leads?
- No. Nothing yet.
Copy !req
205. Who'd have thought? A lot of Shinra's
people actually returned to work!
Copy !req
206. Now that's dedication. I'm telling you,
this could be a fresh start!
Copy !req
207. Well, those left alive
have a lot to atone for.
Copy !req
208. Two years already.
Copy !req
209. Seems like a lot longer than that.
Copy !req
210. What a nightmare, huh?
Copy !req
211. The world was nearly obliterated,
and we were the obliterators.
Copy !req
212. Seriously, though. How are we
ever supposed to atone for that?
Copy !req
213. Too bad the director's not around,
you know?
Copy !req
214. Elena too.
Copy !req
215. Hope they're alive.
Copy !req
216. They are.
Copy !req
217. Tseng's just like the president.
Copy !req
218. They're kind of like cats.
Nine lives, you know.
Copy !req
219. You got that right!
Copy !req
220. Found you.
Copy !req
221. Church?
Copy !req
222. Oh, I know the one.
Copy !req
223. I'll be here.
Copy !req
224. Your call to Sector 7 cannot
be completed at this time.
Copy !req
225. Cloud, what a surprise.
You never call.
Copy !req
226. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
227. Cloud?
Copy !req
228. No, ma'am.
Copy !req
229. Well, who, then?
Why do you have Cloud's phone?
Copy !req
230. - I don't know.
- Who is this?
Copy !req
231. I don't know. Please...
Copy !req
232. I don't know what to do.
I can't do this.
Copy !req
233. Hey, are you crying?
Copy !req
234. Hello? Are you okay?
Cloud, if you're there, pick up!
Copy !req
235. Hey!
Copy !req
236. You okay?
Copy !req
237. Boy, do I hate liars.
Copy !req
238. I apologize.
This time you'll get the truth.
Copy !req
239. The object you seek
fell from the helicopter...
Copy !req
240. while we were running from you.
Copy !req
241. I'm afraid we were careless.
Copy !req
242. Is that right?
Copy !req
243. I swear it.
Copy !req
244. Fine. Then swear on these.
Copy !req
245. - Why did you do this?
- We need Mother's power.
Copy !req
246. The Reunion is coming
and we need her.
Copy !req
247. Reunion?
Copy !req
248. My brothers and sisters who share
Mother's cells will all assemble.
Copy !req
249. And together we'll take revenge
on the planet.
Copy !req
250. We've already sent out the invitations,
but you know.
Copy !req
251. Someone's gone and hidden
the guest of honor.
Copy !req
252. Invitations?
Copy !req
253. The stigma.
But you know all about that, sir.
Copy !req
254. Mother's memetic legacy lives on in
the Lifestream and makes it happen.
Copy !req
255. She does so much for us, and we...
Copy !req
256. We don't even know
where to find her.
Copy !req
257. But what can we do,
we're just Remnants.
Copy !req
258. Merely remnants of Mother's legacy.
Copy !req
259. Until we find Mother and receive
her cells, we can't be whole again.
Copy !req
260. Geostigma and a legacy
aren't enough.
Copy !req
261. Not for a true Reunion.
Copy !req
262. What do you mean?
Copy !req
263. But, sir, surely you've noticed?
Copy !req
264. Jeez, sorry about that.
Copy !req
265. The stigma!
Copy !req
266. Can't you people just stay indoors?
Copy !req
267. Here.
Copy !req
268. I said I'd live out both our lives.
Copy !req
269. Easy to make that promise.
Copy !req
270. So you wanna be in SOLDIER?
Hang in there.
Copy !req
271. Hey, you doing okay?
Copy !req
272. Well, what are you gonna do
once we get to Midgar?
Copy !req
273. We're friends, right?
Copy !req
274. Pops, park us over by the rocks!
Copy !req
275. Cloud, ride's over!
Copy !req
276. My honor, my dreams...
Copy !req
277. they're yours now.
Copy !req
278. You'll be my living legacy.
Copy !req
279. I swore that I would never forget.
Copy !req
280. I tried.
Copy !req
281. But l...
Copy !req
282. Don't pretend you're sad.
Copy !req
283. Why tremble with anger
that's not even there?
Copy !req
284. Face it, Cloud.
Copy !req
285. All you are is an empty puppet.
Copy !req
286. Wanna play?
Copy !req
287. I guess that's a no.
Copy !req
288. Where's Mother?
Copy !req
289. Gross.
Copy !req
290. - Hey, where's Mother?
- There's no one here!
Copy !req
291. Fine. Play with me.
Copy !req
292. This'll be fun.
Copy !req
293. Tifa!
Copy !req
294. She's not here.
Copy !req
295. I'm not crying!
Copy !req
296. No, I got it. I'll bring the girl.
Copy !req
297. Where were we?
Copy !req
298. Cloud...
Copy !req
299. Just run!
Copy !req
300. Sorry about before.
Copy !req
301. Thank you.
Copy !req
302. Sure.
Copy !req
303. My little brother...
Copy !req
304. Well, he's gone.
Copy !req
305. I see.
Copy !req
306. Hey, I know you've got it too.
Copy !req
307. Come on, they'll fix us.
Copy !req
308. Tifa?
Copy !req
309. Tifa!
Copy !req
310. You're late...
Copy !req
311. Who did this?
Copy !req
312. He didn't say.
Copy !req
313. Marlene?
Copy !req
314. Damn!
Copy !req
315. You know, you're pretty heavy.
Copy !req
316. Weren't there some kids
living with you?
Copy !req
317. Because they ain't here.
Copy !req
318. You don't care?
Copy !req
319. I just...
Copy !req
320. You're a real handful.
Copy !req
321. Tifa said to take you home, kid.
Copy !req
322. Grab on.
Copy !req
323. So who's gonna fix us?
Copy !req
324. I don't know.
Copy !req
325. Whatever. Like it matters anymore.
Copy !req
326. Look at what Brother was hiding.
Copy !req
327. Powers forged in the Lifestream.
Copy !req
328. With this materia,
those powers will be ours.
Copy !req
329. So those are a gift from Mother?
Copy !req
330. Yeah, gotta be.
Copy !req
331. Then Brother's hiding Mother too?
Copy !req
332. No, it's that Shinra guy.
Copy !req
333. Keeping her hidden is something
they've always been very good at.
Copy !req
334. Then all we gotta do
is check everywhere...
Copy !req
335. that's got anything
to do with Shinra.
Copy !req
336. But we'll have plenty of help soon.
Copy !req
337. Boy, I can't wait.
Copy !req
338. But first,
we need a word with Brother.
Copy !req
339. He likes to pretend
he's not part of the family.
Copy !req
340. How he breaks my heart.
Copy !req
341. Yeah.
Copy !req
342. Reno and Rude are out looking.
Copy !req
343. You have geostigma, don't you?
Copy !req
344. You're gonna give up and die.
Is that it?
Copy !req
345. So it is.
Copy !req
346. There's no cure.
Copy !req
347. Yeah, but that's not
stopping Denzel, is it?
Copy !req
348. Don't run. Let's fight it together.
Copy !req
349. We can help each other,
I know we can.
Copy !req
350. I guess that only works
for real families.
Copy !req
351. Tifa...
Copy !req
352. I'm not fit to help anyone.
Copy !req
353. Not my family, not my friends.
Copy !req
354. Nobody.
Copy !req
355. Dilly-dally, shilly-shally...
Copy !req
356. I think she wants you
to move on, man.
Copy !req
357. Did you find them?
Copy !req
358. No, only a witness.
Copy !req
359. Kadaj's gang took the kids.
Copy !req
360. - Where are they?
- They're at their base now.
Copy !req
361. The Forgotten City.
Copy !req
362. Mother has given me
a very special gift:
Copy !req
363. The power to fight...
Copy !req
364. against a planet
that torments humanity!
Copy !req
365. She gave this gift to all her children.
Copy !req
366. That's right.
Copy !req
367. You and I are brethren.
Copy !req
368. Brothers and sisters chosen...
Copy !req
369. when we inherited Mother's memetic
legacy through the Lifestream.
Copy !req
370. But...
Copy !req
371. the planet doesn't
approve of that at all.
Copy !req
372. It's doing everything it can
to hold us back.
Copy !req
373. That's why it's racking our bodies with
pain and filling our hearts with doubt!
Copy !req
374. Now I shall heal you.
Copy !req
375. And we will go to Mother together!
Copy !req
376. We will join as a family
and strike back at the planet!
Copy !req
377. Do as I do.
Copy !req
378. Denzel.
Copy !req
379. Denzel!
Copy !req
380. See, Mother?
Copy !req
381. All my new brothers and sisters!
Copy !req
382. They can keep me company,
just until I find you.
Copy !req
383. You came.
Copy !req
384. Even though you're about to break.
Copy !req
385. That's a good sign.
Copy !req
386. So...
Copy !req
387. why did you come?
Copy !req
388. I think I want to be forgiven.
Copy !req
389. Yeah. More than anything.
Copy !req
390. By who?
Copy !req
391. - I'm glad you could make it.
- I only came for the kids.
Copy !req
392. See this man? He's our big brother.
Copy !req
393. But alas...
Copy !req
394. in our happy flock...
Copy !req
395. he's what you'd call
a black sheep.
Copy !req
396. Cloud!
Copy !req
397. See, I knew I'd be no help.
Copy !req
398. Vincent. What do you know
about this?
Copy !req
399. I come here often.
Copy !req
400. I've seen what Kadaj's group
is doing.
Copy !req
401. The stigma.
Copy !req
402. It's a symptom of alien matter
infesting the body.
Copy !req
403. The body tries to eliminate it
and overcompensates.
Copy !req
404. Inside our bodies is a current,
like the Lifestream.
Copy !req
405. That current is what fights off
any malevolent intruders.
Copy !req
406. What do you mean by "intruder"?
Copy !req
407. The Sephiroth gene.
Jenova's memetic legacy.
Copy !req
408. Call it what you want.
Copy !req
409. You're well-informed.
Copy !req
410. Tseng and Elena.
Copy !req
411. They were brought here half-dead.
Copy !req
412. They must have been
brutally tortured.
Copy !req
413. I did what I could
to save them, but...
Copy !req
414. Well, we'll see.
Copy !req
415. Tortured?
Copy !req
416. They had it coming.
Copy !req
417. They got their hands
on Jenova's head.
Copy !req
418. Then when Kadaj says
he's looking for "Mother"...
Copy !req
419. Heaven's dark harbinger.
The calamity, Jenova.
Copy !req
420. If they wanted to,
they could re-create Sephiroth.
Copy !req
421. Kadaj...
Copy !req
422. What is he?
Copy !req
423. I'd rather not know.
Copy !req
424. Marlene!
Copy !req
425. Cloud! Denzel and Tifa!
Copy !req
426. Tifa is all right.
Copy !req
427. I wanna talk to her!
Copy !req
428. May I?
Copy !req
429. You don't have a phone?
Copy !req
430. Vincent, will you bring
Marlene to Tifa?
Copy !req
431. I'm gonna go see Shinra
and get a few answers.
Copy !req
432. - I can't do that.
- But l—
Copy !req
433. Forget it, Cloud!
Copy !req
434. Why don't you ever pay
any attention to us?
Copy !req
435. Marlene, please give me some time.
Copy !req
436. There's a battle to be fought...
Copy !req
437. but it's not as simple
as just fighting it. Understand?
Copy !req
438. No, I don't!
Copy !req
439. Cloud, you sure
this is about fighting?
Copy !req
440. Where are they?
Copy !req
441. They're at their base now.
Copy !req
442. The Forgotten City.
Copy !req
443. Go.
Copy !req
444. - I have to talk to Rufus.
- Stop running!
Copy !req
445. I know.
Copy !req
446. Even if you find the kids,
you might not be able to help them.
Copy !req
447. Maybe something will happen
that can never unhappen.
Copy !req
448. That scares you, doesn't it?
Copy !req
449. But you need to really
think about now.
Copy !req
450. Look at you! You think
you've got it so damn hard.
Copy !req
451. Well, you hate being alone,
so let people in!
Copy !req
452. Sure, you might not
answer the phone...
Copy !req
453. but I don't see you
throwing it away either!
Copy !req
454. You go. The base is all yours.
Copy !req
455. Which is it?
Copy !req
456. A memory, or us?
Copy !req
457. But I let you die.
Copy !req
458. Dilly-dally, shilly-shally.
Copy !req
459. Isn't it time you did the forgiving?
Copy !req
460. Are sins ever forgiven?
Copy !req
461. I've never tried.
Copy !req
462. You mean...
Copy !req
463. Never tried...
Copy !req
464. Marlene, let's go.
Copy !req
465. Well, I'm gonna try.
Copy !req
466. I'll phone in the verdict.
Copy !req
467. It's me, Reeve.
Copy !req
468. How's work going?
Copy !req
469. I saw your flyer. How in the world
do you stay in business?
Copy !req
470. You never change, Cloud.
Copy !req
471. I was thinking about helping you out,
but I guess I'll call back another time.
Copy !req
472. - Goodbye for now.
- Surprise! It's me, Yuffie.
Copy !req
473. So, hey, all the kids are suddenly
missing from Wutai. Weird.
Copy !req
474. Have you heard anything about it?
Give me a ring and fill me in, okay?
Copy !req
475. I never blamed you, not once.
Copy !req
476. You came for me.
That's all that matters.
Copy !req
477. - Hey, you listening?
- What have you done with these kids?
Copy !req
478. Denzel!
Copy !req
479. Denzel! Denzel!
Copy !req
480. And what are we up to?
Copy !req
481. We know. Mother is here.
Copy !req
482. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
483. Yeah, this thing...
Copy !req
484. Monument thing? Shinra made it.
Copy !req
485. So you think we hid her here?
Copy !req
486. - Did you?
- Why ask us?
Copy !req
487. Where we hid her is classified info.
Copy !req
488. Seems you do have
something to hide.
Copy !req
489. Rude, you and your big mouth!
Copy !req
490. Does it hurt?
Copy !req
491. A bit. But not as bad as Denzel's.
Copy !req
492. Is there a cure?
Copy !req
493. I don't know.
Copy !req
494. After all you did.
Copy !req
495. You've been trying so hard
to find a cure for Denzel.
Copy !req
496. You knew about that?
Copy !req
497. Cloud, you should clean off
your desk once in a while.
Copy !req
498. Maybe I should.
Copy !req
499. So is that why? Is that the reason
why you had to leave, Cloud?
Copy !req
500. Because you couldn't fix Denzel?
Copy !req
501. Or because you have
the sickness too?
Copy !req
502. I just thought
I couldn't care for myself.
Copy !req
503. Let alone anyone else.
Copy !req
504. How you supposed
to look after your family...
Copy !req
505. if you can't even
look after yourself?
Copy !req
506. Or at least Daddy says so.
Copy !req
507. Cloud, don't give up.
Copy !req
508. In the past, you've always looked
after me. You and Denzel and Tifa.
Copy !req
509. You were there whenever
I needed you.
Copy !req
510. Well, now it's my turn.
Copy !req
511. Say, Kadaj.
I've got a question for you.
Copy !req
512. I've got an answer.
Copy !req
513. You told me that you needed Jenova
cells in order to be whole again, right?
Copy !req
514. What did you mean by that?
Copy !req
515. Him. He's coming back.
Copy !req
516. Sephiroth.
Copy !req
517. The nightmare.
Copy !req
518. So they say.
Copy !req
519. You mean...
Copy !req
520. I've never known Sephiroth.
Copy !req
521. I just... I sense him there.
Copy !req
522. It's unbearable...
Copy !req
523. to think Mother might want
Sephiroth more than...
Copy !req
524. Poor little Remnant.
Copy !req
525. It doesn't matter who she picks!
You'll all meet the same end!
Copy !req
526. Mother came to this planet
after a long journey.
Copy !req
527. To rid the cosmos of fools like you!
Copy !req
528. But you know as well as I do...
Copy !req
529. nothing's changed
since she got here.
Copy !req
530. I have to change it.
Copy !req
531. To make her happy!
Copy !req
532. If Mother willed it,
I'd do anything for her!
Copy !req
533. The nightmare returns.
Copy !req
534. As long as you exist, the nightmares
will come again and again.
Copy !req
535. The Lifestream courses
through our world...
Copy !req
536. ever flowing between
the edge of life and death.
Copy !req
537. If that cycle is the very truth of life...
Copy !req
538. then history, too,
will inevitably repeat itself.
Copy !req
539. Go on, bring your Jenovas
and your Sephiroths.
Copy !req
540. Cause trouble
till your heart's content.
Copy !req
541. We'll do as life mandates,
we promise.
Copy !req
542. We won't let you win and stop you.
Copy !req
543. Please, sir, is that your excuse
for going after Mother yourself?
Copy !req
544. You don't seem all that sorry.
Copy !req
545. Sorry?
Copy !req
546. The truth is, I actually enjoy it.
Copy !req
547. Good. Then let's put
an end to all this.
Copy !req
548. Denzel, we've got to get away!
Copy !req
549. - Hello...
- Hell, no.
Copy !req
550. Is it after us?
Copy !req
551. I'm not looking!
Copy !req
552. Are we having fun yet?
Copy !req
553. The time of my life.
Copy !req
554. When are you gonna call it a day!
Copy !req
555. What?
Copy !req
556. Just as soon as you give back Mother,
that'll be the end of everything.
Copy !req
557. Punks.
Copy !req
558. What do you need
Jenova's head for?
Copy !req
559. Forget your little Reunion
and get a grip!
Copy !req
560. All we want is to be with Mother!
Copy !req
561. Mother will know. When she gets here,
she'll decide what's best.
Copy !req
562. Now, where's Mother?
Copy !req
563. Mother, shmother.
It's Jenova's frigging head!
Copy !req
564. - Hey!
- Don't refer to Mother that way.
Copy !req
565. You meanie!
Copy !req
566. Our apologies.
Copy !req
567. Your ma's cool—
Copy !req
568. What the hell am I saying?
Copy !req
569. Tifa?
Copy !req
570. Son of a bitch!
Copy !req
571. You look after Momma.
Copy !req
572. Barret!
Copy !req
573. Marlene better be safe, huh?
Copy !req
574. We can handle this!
Copy !req
575. So who's been touching
my materia?
Copy !req
576. The bad guys, naturally.
Copy !req
577. Ooh!
Copy !req
578. Who's that?
Copy !req
579. She's a beaut!
Copy !req
580. My Shera, the latest model!
Copy !req
581. I'll give you the grand tour
afterward!
Copy !req
582. Where can I buy a phone?
Copy !req
583. - Who's he?
- They're our friends.
Copy !req
584. Denzel, can you make it to the bar?
Copy !req
585. Enough!
Copy !req
586. Tifa!
Copy !req
587. Denzel!
Copy !req
588. Cloud!
Copy !req
589. Sorry that it took me so long.
Copy !req
590. It's all right.
Copy !req
591. - You okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
592. Marlene will be safe.
I took her home.
Copy !req
593. I feel lighter.
Copy !req
594. Maybe I lost some weight.
All that dilly-dallying.
Copy !req
595. I'm gonna go back to see Marlene,
okay, Cloud? We'll wait for you!
Copy !req
596. Hey, Cloud. See you there, right?
Copy !req
597. I gotta do this!
Copy !req
598. The hell you been?
Copy !req
599. This is too fun, sir!
Copy !req
600. Any requests for the next act?
Copy !req
601. - Mother?
- A good son would have known.
Copy !req
602. Alley-oop!
Copy !req
603. Giddyap!
Copy !req
604. There you go!
Copy !req
605. Fly!
Copy !req
606. No giving up!
Copy !req
607. Ready?
Copy !req
608. Mother!
Copy !req
609. - Sir, no!
- Sir, no!
Copy !req
610. Sir.
Copy !req
611. You losers are chasing
the wrong guy!
Copy !req
612. Rude!
Copy !req
613. No, no, no! Don't do this to me!
Copy !req
614. Hey, Rude! You're all right!
Copy !req
615. Yeah. I'm just peachy.
Copy !req
616. Hey, guys!
Copy !req
617. Hey, partner.
Copy !req
618. This thing got any bite to it?
Copy !req
619. Shinra technology at its finest.
Copy !req
620. Oh, so you made this.
Copy !req
621. If nothing else, it's flashy.
Copy !req
622. Oh, good.
Copy !req
623. You love it. I know.
Copy !req
624. Looks like today
we're clocking out early.
Copy !req
625. Mother!
Copy !req
626. Let's go, Cloud.
Copy !req
627. Brother. I'm with her at last.
Copy !req
628. So, what's gonna happen now?
Copy !req
629. Mother's going to tell me.
Copy !req
630. I guess a Remnant
wouldn't really know.
Copy !req
631. So what if I'm a puppet?
Copy !req
632. Once upon a time...
Copy !req
633. you were too!
Copy !req
634. Cloud, I brought you materia!
Copy !req
635. - Hey, watch it!
- Yo, Cid! Park this turkey!
Copy !req
636. Shut up! You want off?
Then jump! Get off my back!
Copy !req
637. He can handle this alone.
Copy !req
638. Kadaj is a Remnant of Sephiroth.
Copy !req
639. Think of him as
a sort of larval form.
Copy !req
640. Larva? You mean he's an insect!
Copy !req
641. Lassie, shut your gob.
Copy !req
642. So the punk's gonna
become Sephiroth.
Copy !req
643. Vincent, does Cloud
know about Kadaj?
Copy !req
644. One would think.
Copy !req
645. Then you're right.
Copy !req
646. It's his fight now.
Copy !req
647. Why, I don't get it?
Why can't we help out!
Copy !req
648. This is man talk.
Copy !req
649. Sexist! Sexist!
Copy !req
650. Crikey, lass, shut yer mooth!
Copy !req
651. The men don't get it either.
Copy !req
652. Two years ago...
Copy !req
653. think of the strength we all had
when we fought that last battle.
Copy !req
654. It's only been a couple years...
Copy !req
655. but already that feeling is gone.
Copy !req
656. But Cloud,
I think he's found it again.
Copy !req
657. He's got 10 minutes.
Copy !req
658. That Cloud's a royal pain
in the ass, like always.
Copy !req
659. Cloud is Cloud.
Copy !req
660. My Reunion.
Bet you're dying to watch.
Copy !req
661. Good to see you, Cloud.
Copy !req
662. Your geostigma is gone?
Copy !req
663. That's too bad.
Copy !req
664. Sephiroth, what do you want?
Copy !req
665. The last thoughts
of geostigma's dead.
Copy !req
666. Those Remnants will join the
Lifestream and girdle the planet...
Copy !req
667. choking it, corroding it.
Copy !req
668. What I want, Cloud...
Copy !req
669. is to sail the darkness of the cosmos
with this planet as my vessel...
Copy !req
670. just as my mother did long ago.
Copy !req
671. Then one day we'll find
a new planet...
Copy !req
672. and on its soil we'll create
a shining future.
Copy !req
673. What about this planet?
Copy !req
674. Well, that's up to you.
Copy !req
675. Is it her?
Copy !req
676. Where did you find this strength?
Copy !req
677. I'm not about to tell you!
Copy !req
678. I've thought of
a wonderful present for you.
Copy !req
679. Shall I give you despair?
Copy !req
680. On your knees!
I want you to beg for forgiveness.
Copy !req
681. Is this the pain
you felt before, Cloud?
Copy !req
682. Let me remind you.
Copy !req
683. This time, you won't forget.
Copy !req
684. Tell me what you cherish most.
Copy !req
685. Give me the pleasure
of taking it away?
Copy !req
686. So what if it looks hopeless?
Copy !req
687. If it were me, I still wouldn't give up.
Copy !req
688. Embrace your dreams.
Copy !req
689. And, whatever happens,
protect your honor as SOLDlER!
Copy !req
690. Well, okay,
you never made SOLDIER.
Copy !req
691. But it's what's in here that counts.
Copy !req
692. Zack?
Copy !req
693. Well? You need a hand with him?
Copy !req
694. You already beat him once,
didn't you?
Copy !req
695. - This should be a cinch.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
696. Cloud. You know what I told you.
Copy !req
697. That's right.
Copy !req
698. I am your living legacy.
Copy !req
699. I pity you. You just don't get it at all.
Copy !req
700. There's not a thing I don't cherish!
Copy !req
701. Stay where you belong.
In my memories.
Copy !req
702. I will never be a memory.
Copy !req
703. Brother...
Copy !req
704. Kadaj?
Copy !req
705. You don't have to hang on
any longer.
Copy !req
706. Mother, is that...?
Copy !req
707. Everyone's waiting, if you're ready.
Copy !req
708. We're cured!
Copy !req
709. - Oh, yeah, we rock!
- See, what'd I tell you fools?
Copy !req
710. That's my boy, Cloud!
You're the chips and gravy.
Copy !req
711. A little push is what he needs,
that's all!
Copy !req
712. Y'all calm down,
hang on to your britches!
Copy !req
713. Somehow I knew you were there.
Copy !req
714. Thank you.
Copy !req
715. We'll go together...
Copy !req
716. Together, we'll play...
Copy !req
717. Cloud!
Copy !req
718. He'll come back.
He said that he would.
Copy !req
719. Let's go!
Copy !req
720. Mother?
Copy !req
721. Again? Why is everyone
calling me their mother lately?
Copy !req
722. I guess they must be fond of you.
Copy !req
723. This one's a little too big to adopt.
Copy !req
724. Tough luck, friend. Sounds like
you don't have a place here.
Copy !req
725. It's like she said: "Wait here
and Cloud will come back."
Copy !req
726. Welcome back!
Copy !req
727. I'm back.
Copy !req
728. There are still children
with the stigma.
Copy !req
729. Yeah.
Copy !req
730. Hey, let's get you fixed up.
Copy !req
731. Come on, I'm here.
Copy !req
732. It's okay.
Copy !req
733. - Last one in is a rotten egg!
- It's working!
Copy !req
734. You see? Everything's all right.
Copy !req
735. I know.
Copy !req
736. I'm not alone.
Copy !req
737. Not anymore.
Copy !req
738. Is this somebody's grave?
Copy !req
739. No.
Copy !req
740. This is where a hero
began his journey.
Copy !req
