Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone (2007) - full transcript
The fate of the world is threatened by seemingly monstrous entities known as Angels. NERV is an organisation set up to counter this threat and it is up to young pilots to protect Earth but exactly what are the real motives behind NERV?
01 Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone
- Anime 2007 720p [H264-mp4] English
It shows up now, of all times!?
Geez...
Due to the present state of emergency,
all phone lines have been disabled.
No good, huh?
My cell phone has no signal,
and the buses and trains are shut down too.
I guess it'll be impossible
to meet her now.
I've got no choice. I
should head to a shelter.
All missiles have hit the target!
Sorry I made you wait!
The target is still unharmed. It's
continuing to advance towards Tokyo-3.
The Air Force is unable to stop it!
Throw everything at it! Have
even the 4th Division open fire!
Spare no expense! Destroy
the target at all costs!
How the hell?! We made direct hits!!
The tank battalion was
completely destroyed.
Missiles and artillery are useless...
It's pointless! This type of firepower's
not going to get us anywhere!
So, it has an AT Field after all?
Yes...
Conventional weapons are
useless against an Angel.
Understood. We'll deploy
it according to plan.
No way... it can't be...!
They're going to use an N2 Mine?!
Get down!
We did it!
It seems you won't be needed this time.
Shockwave incoming!
Are you okay?
Yeah... but I think I got
some sand in my mouth.
Great! Here, help me out...
Get ready...
And PUSH!
Thanks! Couldn't have done it myself.
No, I should be thanking
you, Katsuragi-san.
Call me Misato, alright?
It's nice to meet you, Ikari Shinji-kun.
Yeah.
What is the target's status?
Due to radio interference, the
target cannot be confirmed.
With that explosion, it
must be obliterated.
Restoring visual.
And that was our trump card...
How is this possible...
Goddamn monster!
Thank God my Renault still works!
It'd be no joke for this car to die on me, since
I've still got 12 payments left on the lease...
Anyway, I called ahead to reserve
an express train for us,
so we might still make it in time!
Say, don't you have any
questions for me, Shinji-kun?
N-no.
I've been the only one
talking here, you know!
Sorry...
Oh, it's nothing to apologize over,
but I was sure you were going to
ask "What was that giant thing?,"
or maybe, "What's going on here?"
you know, those sorts of things?
Um, well...
I don't see the point, since I didn't
think you'd give me an answer anyway.
Wow, you sure jump to wrong
conclusions, don't you?
That's something adults do, not teenagers!
It's okay.
I'm just following my directions.
Oh?... never mind then.
Just for your information, that thing was a
mysterious life form we call an "Angel."
The 4th Angel...
It possesses an astounding
regenerative capacity.
Complete by itself, it is a
nearly-perfect living creature.
Of course it can regenerate.
Because Angels partook of the
Fruit of Life, you mean?
Yes. They exist to exterminate us... we,
who partook of the Fruit of Wisdom.
The gate is closing. Please be careful.
"Secret Military Agency NERV"...?
Yes, it's a private organization under
the direct control of the U.N..
That's where my father is?
Well, yeah...
Do you know what your dad's job is?
"Work of utmost importance in
the protection of humanity."
That's what my teacher said.
From here on, you will be in
command of this operation.
Show us what you can do.
Understood.
Ikari-kun, I have to admit that nothing in
our arsenal is effective against the target.
So you claim you can defeat this thing?
NERV exists for that very purpose.
Are we going to where my father is?
Yeah, I imagine he'll be there.
Father...
By the way, did your father
send you an ID card?
Ah, yeah.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Here, read this please.
NERV.
My father's work.
Is there something I'm needed for?
Of course. He wouldn't send me a letter
if he didn't need me for something.
I see, you don't get
along with your father.
Me neither.
Amazing!
A real GeoFront!
That's right.
And that is our secret
base; NERV Headquarters.
It's humanity's fortress, the
cornerstone to rebuilding our world.
Let's see... from the
terminal's Western exit,
Go north to the 3rd gate and take a right.
Then, we need to take Route 8...
Could they have made this
facility any more complicated?
Hmm... this looks like the correct route...
Um, are we lost?
I'm just not used to this place yet.
Either way, if we keep heading
forward we'll eventually get there!
Secondary cooling cycle complete.
All personnel, evacuate
the tank immediately.
I want the left arm's conductive
plating defrosted and ready to go
within the next three minutes!
And don't forget that apoptosis data!
Roger!
Attention Professor Akagi: Chief Operations Officer Lt. Colonel
Katsuragi, together with one young boy, have arrived at Shaft S36.
What a surprise.
She's late yet again.
Ah... Ritsuko!
You're 12 minutes past schedule. You were taking so long,
I came to greet you personally, Lt. Colonel Katsuragi.
We're short on staff and out of time.
Eh... Sorry!
Is this the boy?
Yup.
I'm the Chief Engineer and Administrator
of NERV's Project E, Akagi Ritsuko.
It's nice to meet you.
M-me too.
Well then, I'll leave things here to you.
It'll be their first meeting in 3 years...
Deputy Commander! The
target has begun to move!
Understood.
All units, Level One battle stations!
I repeat, all units, Level
One battle stations!
Ground forces, prepare for combat!
Ikari Shinij-kun, there's
something I want to show you.
The ultimate man-made multipurpose fighting
machine. The artificial human, Evangelion.
That is Unit 01.
Mankind's very last trump card.
This is my father's work?
Correct.
It's been a while.
Father...
Prepare to sortie.
Sortie?!
But Unit 00 is still frozen, isn't it?
Unless... You intend to use Unit 01?
There is no other choice.
Ikari Shinji-kun...?
Y-Yes?
You will pilot it.
Why did you call me here, Father?
For the same reason you're thinking.
I'm supposed to pilot this and fight
that thing I just saw outside?
Correct.
I don't want to! What are you
saying all of a sudden?!
I thought you didn't need me!
That's why you left!
I need you now, so I called for you.
Why... me?
Because no one else can.
I can't do it...
I've never seen or heard of this thing.
I just can't!
We'll explain it to you.
No...
I can't do it!
There's no way I can do this!
If you're going to pilot it, do it now.
If not...
Leave!
So, we've been found...
Armored hulls 1 through
8 have been breached!
Shinji-kun, there isn't much time.
Widespread fire alarms in Block D.
Closing all fire doors in the area.
Pilot it!
No!
Sure, I came all this way...
but this is impossible!
Shinji-kun, why did you come here?
Don't run away. You have to face your
father... and more importantly, yourself.
I know that! But I just can't do this!
Fuyutsuki.
Wake up Rei.
Can we use her?
She's not dead.
Understood.
Rei.
Yes.
The backup is useless.
We need you once more.
Yes.
Switch Unit 01's core unit to the
L-00 type and reactivate it!
Roger. Suspending current tasks.
Reactivating.
Entering reactivation command.
I knew it. I was never needed...
The Target has broken through
the final defence line,
and is proceeding to head right above us.
Are you alright?
I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I
mustn't run away, I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away!
I'll do it.
I'll pilot it.
Third cooling cycle, complete.
Flywheel rotation shutdown.
Unlocking the connectors.
No problems with the auxiliary power.
Shutdown signal plug extraction complete.
Roger, inserting entry plug.
Unlocking spinal conductive network.
Prepare for connection.
Probe needle insertion complete.
Prime sync established. Psychological
corruption values within acceptable range.
Maintaining range between
plus-02 and minus-05.
Locking down interior array.
Roger, starting first contact.
Flooding Entry Plug.
W-What is this?
It's alright.
Once the LCL fills your lungs, it will
provide oxygen directly to your blood.
You'll get used to it.
Main power source connection complete.
Roger.
Starting second contact.
Initializing interface.
A-10 nerve connection is normal.
LCL ionization levels normal.
Set Japanese as the linguistic
norm for cognitive interface.
No problems detected with initial contacts.
Communication lines open.
Points on the list up to 1405, all clear.
Measuring synapse levels.
Synchronization rate, 41.3%.
And he's not even wearing a plug suit!
Amazing!
Harmonics are in normal levels.
Everything's under control.
We are ready!
Prepare to launch!
Prepare to launch!
Release primary lock bolts!
Release confirmed.
Initiating retraction of umbilical bridge.
Release secondary lock bolts!
Removing primary restraints.
Proceeding to remove secondary restraints.
Disengaging safety systems 01 through 15.
Disengagement confirmed.
Unit 01 is now free.
Internal power supply, fully charged.
No problems with the external power socket.
Understood. Move Unit 01 to the launch pad.
No problems with the positioning
of any of the linear rail tracks.
Electromagnetic induction
system, working normally.
Unit 01 is now moving to K-52.
Launch sequence is proceeding normally.
Eva has arrived at the launch terminal hub.
Launch tube clear. All green!
Launch preparations complete.
Understood.
I have your approval?
Absolutely.
Our future depends on defeating the Angels.
Ikari, you're absolutely sure about this?
LAUNCH!
Are you alright, Shinji-kun?
Y-Yes.
Release the final safety lock!
Evangelion Unit 01, lift off!
Shinji-kun...
for now, just concentrate on walking.
Walk...
It walked!
Walk...
Shinji-kun, stay alert!
Hurry...
Hurry and get back up!
Shinji-kun, calm down!
It's not really your arm that's being hurt!
What happened to Eva's defensive systems?
Signal inactive!
The field isn't expending.
It's not working?
The left arm is damaged!
Circuits are going off-line!
Shinji-kun, dodge!!
Frontal cranium is fracturing!
Its armour can't withstand much more!
Cranial damage, severity unknown!
Operational integrity compromised!
What's the status?
Synchro graph inverting!
Pulse entering reflux!
Cut off the circuits! Block the flow!
We can't!
The signal's being refused,
we can't get through!
Shinji-kun's status?!
No response from the monitoring system.
Condition unknown!
Unit 01 has gone silent.
Misato!
That's it!
Abort the operation! Pilot
rescue has top priority!
Emergency plug ejection!
We can't! It's not responding!
What?!
The Eva has reactivated!
Impossible...
It should be knocked out!
Has it gone...
Berserk?!
We've won.
An AT-Field?
It's pointless. Unless the
AT Field is breached...
you can't do anything to an Angel.
Left arm restored!
Amazing!
Unit 01 has also raised an AT-Field!
Angel phase space is being neutralized.
No. It's corroding it.
It broke through that AT-Field
like it was nothing...
What is Eva's status?
Is this Eva's...
True form?
Have you decided on a name?
If it's a boy, Shinji. If
it's a girl, then Rei.
Shinji...
Rei...
Shinji...
Shinji... Ayanami.
Shinji...
Rei...
Rei... Ikari...?
Rei...
No...
Ayanami... Rei!
An unfamiliar ceiling...
The attack of the fourth
Angel, and its defeat...
Then the acquisition of the Third Child...
And the activation of Eva Unit 01...
Overall the plan is progressing well.
Well, except for the colossal expense
necessary to repair Unit 01.
Compared to Unit 00 in cryo-suspension,
that is hardly a problem.
Eva Unit 01's recovery
operation is complete.
Right now, it's being locked into Cage 6.
A full-systems check will
commence at 10:00 hours.
And the recording from
when it went berserk?
It was blank. Absolutely
nothing was recorded.
And so, we have no idea what the cause was.
Our absolute confidence in its combat
performance... may be a bit misplaced.
As long as it can fight the 5th
Angel, minor bugs are tolerable.
No need for concern.
We'll continue deployment of Unit 01.
And Unit 02 and its pilot in Germany are
under deployment qualification exams.
The construction of Unit 03 is
also progressing as planned.
It's your responsibility to make
proper use of NERV and the Evas.
We earnestly hope you
will not disappoint us.
That's right. Defeating the Angels is but one
step in fulfilling our contract with Lilith.
The Human Instrumentality Project...
Its execution is our ultimate goal.
I understand. Everything will go
according to SEELE's scenario.
An Angel leaves quite a mark when it's
destroyed after it loses its AT Field.
The blood is like a lake from hell...
It's got the same nasty
feeling as the Second Impact.
Our Eva can defeat an Angel...
That alone will give
humanity a glimmer of hope.
Well, looks the pilot of hope just woke up.
Paging Chief Internist Dr. Ugai. Dr. Ugai.
Please contact Dr. Azuma in the Emergency
Surgical Ward as soon as possible.
The B Incident Grand Rounds will
momentarily begin, according to schedule.
Would the event directors please make their
way to conference room 2? Thank you.
Alone?
Yes, he's been assigned quarters
in Block 6. That all right?
Yes.
Is that really okay?
Shinji-kun?
It's fine. I'm always alone.
It's always the same wherever I go.
What?!
Like I was saying, I'm taking Shinji
back to my place to live with me.
I have authorization from above.
Don't worry, I wouldn't lay a
hand on a little boy like him.
Of course you won't! Honestly, what are you
thinking?! Don't even say things like this!
She could never take a joke...
All right, we're gonna
having a party tonight!
What for?
To welcome my new room-mate, of course!
So you've decided to move?
Yes, I never thought this city
would become a battlefield.
Indeed! My husband wants me and
the children to leave here too!
I heard that just today, over
100 people left the city.
This may be a fortress city, but those
people at NERV seem rather incompetent.
I get chills just thinking
about what happened yesterday.
I know...
Sorry,
but we're going to take a slight detour.
Where to?
Some place special.
This city...
seems so lonely, doesn't it?
It's time.
Amazing...
Buildings are sprouting out of the ground!
This is the special fortress-city
for intercepting Angels.
Tokyo-3.
This is our city...
And the city that you protected.
Looks like your things have
already been delivered.
To tell the truth, I've only
moved to this city recently.
All right, come on in.
Um...
Pardon the intrusion.
Shinji-kun, this is your home now.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home.
Ah yeah...
It's a little messy in here,
but try to ignore it.
Is this...
a little?
Oh sorry, could you put the
food in the fridge please?
Ah, sure!
Ice...
Snacks...
And nothing but beer?
What kind of life does she lead?
Let's dig in!
Let's eat...
Ah, I love it! This is what
makes life worth living!
Not hungry? For instant
food, it's pretty good.
Well... I'm just not used
to this sort of meal.
No! You just can't be so picky!
No, that's not it... Um...
Isn't this fun...?
Having a meal with another person?
Uh... yes.
All right!
Since this is your home now,
feel free to just let loose!
Y-Yes...
Come on... This "Yes, yes, yes,
yes." is getting on my nerves...
You're a boy aren't you?!
Show some backbone, will you!
Yes.
Well, whatever.
Once you'll get in the bath, all those bad
feelings will just wash away in an instant!
Bathing lets you wash your life anew.
M-M-Misato-san!
What?
Ah, him? He's my pet bird. They
call them hot spring penguins.
Birds like that actually exist?!
They used to be a lot more common
15 years ago. His name is Pen-pen.
He'll be your other room-mate in this house.
Anyway... shouldn't you be covering that?
Maybe I'm being overly flamboyant... he
might be able to see right through me.
Katsuragi Misato-san...
She's not a bad person.
Bathing lets you wash your life anew!
I tend to remember bad
things when I'm in a bath...
How was Rei doing?
You went to her hospital
this afternoon, no?
There are no problems. Preparing to restart
the frozen Unit 00 is more important.
Are you sure about using your son? His
mental state seems to be very unstable.
Don't worry about him. His condition will give
us the perfect pretext to reinstate Unit 00.
We'll proceed according to Lt. Colonel
Katsuragi's suggestion, then.
Even without a preliminary report, they
suddenly selected him as the Third Child.
And as if in response, the
Fourth Angel attacks.
In addition, Commander Ikari
forces his son to pilot.
I certainly feel very
uneasy about that fact...
But still, even after successfully defeating
that Angel, I feel surprisingly...
unhappy.
Another unfamiliar ceiling...
No surprise...
Nothing about this city is familiar.
This is your home now.
Why am I even here?
Shinji-kun? I'm coming in.
I forgot to tell you something.
You've done a wonderful
thing worth praising today.
You should be proud.
Goodnight, Shinji-kun.
Hang in there.
Sorry, transfer kid. I had to hit ya.
To settle the score with you.
Real sorry. That guy's little sister was
injured in that big incident the other day.
That's just how it is with him.
It's not like I piloted
it because I wanted to.
How is this something
people would praise me for?
Why do I have to get hit just
because I piloted the Eva?
Is everything alright, Shinji-kun?
Yes.
Within each Angel there is a central core.
The only way to defeat an Angel
directly is to destroy that core.
Therefore, centre on target,
then pull the trigger.
This way, you can dispose of them
accurately if you master the process.
Okay.
Good. Continue practising
like this in induction mode.
Okay.
Still, I'm quite surprised Shinji-kun
suddenly changed his mind about piloting...
That boy only gets through life by silently
obeying whatever people tell him, doesn't he?
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Which reminds me...
Wasn't Shinji-kun hit by one of
his classmates at his new school?
Is our pilot security sufficient?
There's no problem with our
intelligence department's surveillance.
Besides, it wasn't very bad.
It would better if we stayed
out of his private life.
Doesn't he live with you?
His maintenance is your
responsibility too, you know.
That's just it.
It's difficult... He's far
more naïve than I expected.
Hah, complaining already?
You were the one who was so
adamant about taking him in.
Quiet, you.
You're right, he doesn't have much
of a personality for making friends.
Have you heard of the "Hedgehog's dilemma"?
Hedgehog? The little spiky things?
Hedgehogs have a hard time sharing
warmth with other hedgehogs.
The closer they become, the
more they hurt each other.
People are like that as well.
Like with Shinji-kun right now.
The more pain his heart endures,
the more afraid he becomes.
Well, eventually he'll realize.
Becoming an adult means drawing close
and growing apart over and over...
and discovering the way to
avoid wounding one another.
I certainly hope so.
Anyway, when are we gonna get budget
approval to upgrade Block B here?
Eva's maintenance and armaments
are the top priority.
Maybe there's no money left?
My ass is freezing!
An emergency call...
I'll go on ahead.
We have direct visual of inbound object.
E747 has also confirmed the object.
Analysis indicates Pattern Blue. There's
no doubt. It's the fifth Angel.
All hands, level one battle stations!
Roger, ground-to-air missiles ready!.
Tokyo-3 entering combat configuration.
Retracting central block.
Center block and Districts One through
Seven's retraction is complete.
All governmental departments
have been notified.
Target continuing inbound movement.
The anti-air interception
system is 48% activated.
Status of non-combatants and civilians?
We've already received a
complete evacuation report.
All Elementary and Middle School student classes,
please gather in your designated blocks.
There is a lost child at shelter
number 323 in Sector Seven.
It's happening again.
Just text again?
They're controlling the broadcast.
They won't show us regular
citizens anything.
Not even a big event like this!
This is a waste of tax money.
Some people just aren't happy
unless they burn through some ammo.
The Japanese government is demanding
we send out the Evangelion.
How annoying. It's not like we weren't
going to do that without their orders.
We've started the entry. Ionizing LCL.
Father's not even watching me...
Why am I piloting this again?
People hate me for this...
Hey, I wanna talk to you
about something, alone.
What about?
Just for a minute, okay?
Alright, alright...
Right, right, and then-
Class Rep!
What?
We, uh, both need to take a leak!
Geez, make it quick!!
So, what's this about?
I want to see it at least
once before I die!
That battle up there?
This is the real deal! If I don't go now,
who knows when I'll get another chance...
Jeez, Kensuke, what is it with you?
"If you waste this moment,
you may waste everything."
Come on... Just help me get past the gate.
Guess I've got no choice. You're a real
slave to your passions, aren't you?
Shinji-kun, are you ready for launch?
Yes.
Remember. Continuous Gatling gun
fire as you neutralize its AT Field.
Just like in practice. You'll be fine.
Yes...
Launch!
Incredible! This was worth the trouble!
Yes! This is what I've been waiting for!
It's here.
- Center on target, then pull the trigger.
- Expanding A.T. Field.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Proceed according to the
plans, okay, Shinji-kun?
Yes.
Idiot! All that smoke is
obscuring the target!
The heck? He's gettin' his ass kicked!
He's fine!
We're sending up a spare rifle!
Grab it!
Shinji-kun...? Shinji-kun?!
Oh man... Your beating
must have shaken him up.
Sh-Shut up!
Umbilical Cable has been severed!
Eva switching to internal power supply!
Operational time remaining
is 4 minutes 53 seconds!
It's coming this way!
Shinji-kun, are you all right?! Shinji-kun!
Damage report?
No problems. He's good to go.
Shinji-kun's classmates?!
What are they doing there?!
Why isn't he fighting back?!
Maybe he can't move freely...
because we're here!?
Unit 01 will reach operational time
limit in 3 minutes 28 seconds!
Palm armour overheating. Damage, 58%.
Shinji-kun, let those two into the cockpit!
Once they're in, get out of there!
We'll start over afterwards.
You two, get in, quickly!
What the... Is this water?!
My camera! My camera!
System restarting.
Palm surface meltdown has reached
the 3rd protective layer!
Now's your chance! Retreat!
Use escape route 34. Retreat on
the eastern side of the mountain.
Hey, transfer kid, she said "retreat!"
I mustn't run away... I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away...
Transfer kid!
Progressive Knife equipped!
Shinji-kun, listen to my order!
Fall back now!
Shinji-kun!
That idiot!
Unit 01 will reach operational
time limit in 30 seconds.
28, 27, 26...
25, 24, 23, 22...
13, 12, 11, 10...
9, 8, 7, 6, 5...
4, 3, 2, 1...
Eva Unit 01 has ceased operation.
Target has completely disintegrated.
Why did you ignore my orders?
I'm sorry.
I am your operational supervisor, am I not?
Yes.
It's your duty to follow
the orders I give you.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
Yes.
Do you really understand
what I'm telling you?
Yes, I understand, Misato-san.
It's fine, we won, didn't we?
I'll pilot it if you tell me to.
Isn't that what you want?
That's enough. Go back and get some rest.
Next stop is Nagao Pass. Nagao Pass.
Please exit to the right.
He doesn't plan on coming home...
That idiot.
Ikari, Ikari Shinji.
What's this? He just got here,
and he's already absent?
Oh well. Now then, I'll hand back
the tests from the other day.
I've had enough of this!
Please take me back to Misato-san!
Did your little stroll clear things
up for you, Ikari Shinji-kun?
Not really. It didn't really matter.
Nothing does.
I don't have any freedom anyway.
I have no choice but to pilot Eva, do I?
That's the only reason my father
called for me, after all.
Fine. I'll pilot it.
If that's what everyone
wants, that's what I'll do.
You talk about everyone else,
but what about yourself?
I know I can't do this. I bet
everybody else does, too.
But Ayanami is hurt, and
you and father want...
Cut it out!
This has nothing to do with anyone else!
You need to decide if you want
to be the pilot for the Eva.
You're free to go if you want to.
You have all the freedom you want.
Do as you please!
In the end, your son's actions
followed the plan to the letter.
Yes. Next we must make
him and Rei get closer.
All is according to plan.
A scenario written out 14 years ago.
These poor children's fates
have already been determined.
Don't you find that a bit harsh?
C'mon, hurry it up! And don't hold back!
If you don't do this, I won't
feel like it's settled!
Well, that's just the kind of straightforward
guy he is. I'm counting on you.
Now we're even. I'm sorry
for hitting you, Ikari.
Go, go, Kayoko!
If you lose, you're buying us a pizza!
That's it! Go, go, go!
In your dreams!!
Please! Give me one more chance!!
Ew, the boys are peeping!
Pervs!
That's naughty!
Suzuhara's gaze is so lewd!
Ikari-kun~!
Ayanami Rei, age 14.
She was the first candidate
chosen by the Marduk Institute.
The First Child.
Specifically, she is the exclusive operator
of the prototype Evangelion, Unit 00.
Her personal history is blank.
Completely erased.
So, to save her, my father...
Critical error in start-up system!
Failures in Stage 3 routines!
Nervous system elements rejected.
The main transmission system is scrambled!
It's overflowing!
Neural pulse flow reversing!
I'm unable to stop it!
Direct camera feed, down!
Entry plug unstable. Eva
is refusing to release it!
Abort contacts. Close off all
circuits up to number six.
I can't! The signal won't go through!
Unit 00 is out of control!
Abort the test. Cut all power.
Yes, sir!
Unit 00 has switched to auxiliary power.
35 seconds to total system shutdown.
Fail-safe system has yet to activate.
It's dangerous! Please step back!
The auto-eject has activated!
Oh no!
We still cannot control Unit 00!
Quickly, release specialized Bakelite!
Rei!
Ten seconds to complete shutdown!
8, 7, 6, 5...
4, 3, 2, 1.
Unit 00 has ceased all activity.
Rei, are you alright?
Rei!
That's good.
It was so sudden. I couldn't believe it.
It was deleted from the official
report, but it's an undisputed fact.
Unit 00 just went berserk,
and is still being unfrozen.
Isn't that a bit hasty?
The Angels have reappeared. It's our top
priority to reinforce our military strength.
That's true, but...
We've already run
reactivation tests with Rei.
Unit 00 itself is ready.
Once the adjustments to the
nerve connections are complete.
It's so we can re-deploy it soon, isn't it?
Ayanami...
Why is she always alone?
Eva Unit 01 is beginning
third coolant phase.
Please set all systems in
Cage 6 to phase three.
Copying the all-range data of the
entry plug to Melchior. Data sent.
Begin third cooling phase.
Copying situation data
from Casper to Melchior.
Currently, Unit 01's plug depth is at 0,8.
It's within acceptable measurement range.
T-minus 150 minutes to Unit 00's
conductive systems restart and testing.
Roger. Routine synchronization
test, Program 508 is now complete.
Good work, Shinji-kun.
So, what's it like living with him?
It's alright. I'm getting used to it.
Still a little nervous?
It's not your first time
living with a man, is it?
This isn't like 8 years ago.
This time, it's not an
intimate relationship.
I don't know about that...
Shinji-kun is still here
because of you, isn't he?
You're wrong there.
It's probably because his father's here.
He wants his father to acknowledge him.
To pat him on the shoulder.
To praise him, even if it's just one word.
I think he wants a love that
will wipe away his loneliness.
He's conflicted over his father,
just like you are, Misato.
I wonder why Commander Ikari acts
so distant with his own son.
And it looks like he talks to Rei a lot.
It's a terrible balance.
Lately, it seems like men have no interest
in anything other than themselves.
It's a tough time to be a woman, isn't it?
Well, then...
It's about time. I have to head back.
You're a worker bee, as always.
Take these if you're going home, Misato.
It's Shinji-kun's official security card,
and Ayanami Rei's renewed card.
I forgot about these.
Could you ask Shinji to give this to her?
Alright.
Ayanami Rei...
Why was father smiling with her...?
Why won't he smile for me?
Excuse me...
Excuse me, it's Ikari!
Ayanami, I'm coming in.
Could these be Ayanami's?
Oh, no... Um... I...!
I didn't mean to...
Could you move?
U-um...!
What is it?
Um... I was... Um...
That is...
I... I was asked to... I mean...
The uhhh...
The card! The c-card was renewed and...
and I c-came to deliver it...
So... So... It's not
like I was trying to...
Ritsuko-san said she forgot
to give it to you. Honestly.
I rang the doorbell, but no one answered...
and the door was unlocked, so...
Offices in the Central Dogma
are currently accessible.
Group 3 visitors are requested
to please use Direct Gate 4.
Here's your new card, Ayanami.
Ritsuko-san left it with me.
Sorry about before.
What for?
Say, Ayanami... Aren't you afraid?
About piloting that Evangelion again.
Why should I be?
I heard you got hurt in that test...
So... Are you really okay?
Yes. I'm okay.
But... aren't you afraid
it will go berserk again?
Or we could lose to an Angel and die!
You're Commander Ikari's son, aren't you?
You don't have faith in your father's work?
Of course not! Not from a father like him.
Um...
Monitored object is proceeding
past the Odawara defence Line.
Object analysis complete.
Pattern blue. Angel confirmed.
As we thought. The 6th Angel.
Yes.
Prepare Unit 01 for sortie.
Prepare to launch Unit 01!
Anti-air interception weapons armed.
The target is passing above Lake Ashinoko.
Evangelion Unit 01 is ready to launch!
Launch!
High energy reaction
detected inside the target!
What?!
Don't tell me...!
Get out of there!
Lower synchronization rate to minimum!
Deploy blast shield!
Abort intercept! Begin
emergency recovery of Unit 01!
We can't! The catapult has melted.
It's unusable!
What about the AT-Field?
Fully raised. Structural integrity
is holding, but barely!
No! No more of this!
Let me out! Get me out of here, father!!
Abort the operation!
Place top priority on the pilot's safety!
Force eject the plug!
That won't do.
If the pilot is taken out, Eva's
AT-Field will completely disappear!
Things will go from bad to worse.
But...
There's no other choice...
Emergency recovery! Blow
the explosive bolts!
The target has ceased fire.
Unit 01 retrieved. Sending to Cage 99!
Rescue team, stand by!
First priority is cooling
the LCL in the plug!
Pilot confirmed! His heart rate is weak.
Boost plug suit life support to Max!
Begin cardiac massage!
Understood!
Pulse confirmed!
Forcefully eject the plug!
Stabilizing possible rupture
point in the interior.
Begin emergency LCL draining!
At once!
Draining LCL.
Hurry emergency treatment!
The target is currently
invading from above.
It's in the midst of drilling
through to the Geo-Front.
Its objective is a direct
attack on our NERV HQ, is it?
Well then, let's hear the results
of each department's analysis.
Judging from the previous battle...
the target automatically engages
any enemy within a certain range.
Meaning it's impossible for Eva to
engage it in close combat, right?
How's its AT Field?
Still operational. And
to make matters worse...
with its phase pattern constantly shifting,
the field's surface is unstable.
Neutralizing it will be very difficult.
According to Magi's calculations...
to pierce the enemy's AT Field, we'd need to drop so many
aerial N2 Mines that it would destroy NERV HQ as well.
The Magi 2 at Matsushiro
reached the same conclusion.
Right now, the Japanese government and U.N.
Forces are petitioning NERV HQ to do just that.
An easy suggestion to make when
they're not the ones in danger.
If this place falls, then all is lost.
However, the drill has already breached
the second layer of armour plating.
It's already begun penetrating the third.
The estimated time from today until
it has passed through all 22 layers,
reaching the area above HQ, is
12:06:54 AM tomorrow morning.
We have ten hours and fourteen minutes.
To make matters worse, Unit 00 needs to
be calibrated before it's operational.
Unit 01 is also currently unmovable
due to its previous injury.
The situation sure isn't favourable.
We're certainly backed into a corner.
Should we wave the white flag?
Maybe... but before we do, I have a
little something I'd like to try.
The intelligence division should be aware
of the JSSDF's secret weapon, right?
Still, though, it's reckless to use this in
an operation, Operations Chief Katsuragi.
"Reckless" is a bit rude.
It can be done within the remaining nine
hours, and it's the best shot we've got.
Operation Yashima...
As the name suggests, we'll be taking
electrical power from all over Japan.
And then direct it toward JSSDF's secret
prototype weapon, a high power positron cannon.
Since it's unfinished, and can't be used on its
own, it's been modified for Eva to control it.
Convincing the U.N. Forces is one thing, but
the Ministry of Home Affairs and JSSDF, too?
Let's just say they owe me a few favours.
You sure are good at what you do.
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
I repeat...
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
Alright. Let's go.
Yeah.
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
The Angel has penetrated
through the 7th armoured plate!
What's the status of our energy system?
Power will be fed directly from the Shingotenba
substation and two backup generators!
Superconductor power lines now being
laid towards lower Futagoyama.
The transformer relay system is scheduled to
be up and running at 10:50 PM Japan time.
How's progress on the sniping system?
No problems in assembly. We'll have no trouble
making it by the operation start time.
What is Unit 01's status?
It's currently being outfitted
with G-type sniping equipment.
It will be ready to deploy in two hours.
Roger that! All that's
left now is the pilot.
But I wonder... Will he be
willing to pilot it again?
What do you plan to do
about Unit 01's pilot?
It's too soon to test
the dummy plug system.
We have no other practical means other
than letting the current pilot handle it.
In the worst case, do we brainwash him?
If things don't work
out, there's always Rei.
Rei in Unit 01? Isn't that a bit too risky?
We must use whatever means are available to us.
We still have eight Angels we must defeat.
And then, we realize our goal...
I hate it... piloting the Eva.
If I do it well, no one
praises me for doing it.
If I fail, everyone will hate me.
Or, even worse, I could just die.
Why am I even here?
I thought things would change here.
That maybe good things would happen.
I didn't come here to be put through hell.
So you plan to spend the rest of your life
running away from everything unpleasant?
Live?
Why am I alive, anyway?
I used to think I didn't
have a choice in the matter.
Whether it's my father or
Misato-san, no one really needs me.
If I couldn't pilot Eva, there
would be no need for me.
That's why I have no
choice but to pilot Eva.
That's why I'm able to stay here.
But when I pilot my Eva, I...
This ceiling again...
Is this all I get for piloting that thing?
Ayanami...?
You were here the whole time?
I'm here to tell you about the schedule for Operation
Yashima, which will commence at midnight tomorrow.
Pilots Ikari and Ayanami are to
report at Terminal 2 at 19:30.
At 20:00, Unit 01, accompanied
by Unit 00, will be transferred.
Launch is scheduled at 20:05.
By 20:30, they will arrive at
the 2nd Futagoyama fortress.
After that, they will await further orders.
When the clock strikes midnight,
the operation will begin.
Your food.
I don't feel like eating anything.
We leave in 90 minutes.
You're saying I'll be
piloting that thing again?
Yes.
I don't want to. I don't want
to feel that scared anymore.
It's terrifying...! But I
can't even run away...
You're afraid of Eva?
Then stay and rest.
Rest?
I will pilot Unit 01.
Ayanami!
Farewell.
The Angel is penetrating through
the 17th armoured plate!
Target will reach NERV Headquarters
in 4 minutes 55 seconds.
The new western Hakone line and the southern
Tounosawa overhead line have been electrified.
Currently, the number 16 substation is continuing
to establish its transformer equipment.
500,000 volts are flowing through the transformers
as planned. No changes to the time sheet.
The 28th transformer group will
arrive after a five minute delay.
All related persons, please
hurry to your respective lines.
Begin proceeding to Stage Four of the simulation.
Now re-checking recovery and support systems.
All SMES have been set up. Sequential
start-up from the first bundle confirmed.
All mega-high voltage superconductor transformers'
opening and closing checks complete. No problems.
So this is the giant positron cannon?
The assembly was rushed, but
theoretically it should work.
We're zeroing the alignment on our end and getting
it ready to link with the G-type equipment.
And, well, the rest is up to you.
You mean up to the pilot.
Misato, I sure hope this works.
Shinji-kun, you were
supposed to report long ago.
You chose to stay here, didn't you?
Then do your job properly.
I'm afraid of piloting the Eva...
You and the others have
nothing to be afraid of.
You're always just giving orders
from your base underground.
I'm the only one experiencing
these terrifying things.
You all are hypocrites.
Come with me for a sec.
Fifteen years ago,
half of humanity died in the Second Impact.
If the Angels cause a Third Impact now,
humanity will die out. No one will survive.
I've heard this story
countless times already.
If an Angel ever reaches Level
EEE of NERV Headquarters...
an automatic self-destruct would commence.
We will sacrifice ourselves to prevent
the Third Impact from happening.
Everyone who works here understands
and accepts that risk.
This is...
It can't be... An Eva...!?
Not quite. The bringer of life to this
planet, and the agent of its extinction...
The Second Angel, Lilith.
Lilith...?
Yes. Some believe it will act as
the trigger for the Third Impact.
We fight with the Evas to protect Lilith.
That is something that only you can do.
We're entrusting the future of
humanity to you and the Eva.
And why give me that
painful responsibility?
No reason. Fate chose you, that's all.
But you're not the only one putting
your life on the line here, Shinji-kun.
We all are.
I'll pilot it... one more time...
I will now inform you of your
roles in this operation.
Shinji-kun.
Yes?
You will act as gunner in Unit 01.
Yes.
Rei, you and Unit 00 will be on defence.
Yes.
The operation this time
calls for utmost precision.
That's why, instead of the uncalibrated Unit 00, we chose
to use Unit 01, even though it's still undergoing repairs.
Listen, Shinji-kun.
Because of the Earth's rotation, magnetic field, and
gravity, the positron cannon won't fire straight.
Don't forget to take those
factors into account.
You must strike the core in a single shot.
But I don't know where this one's core is.
Don't worry. There's a portion that
materializes during its attack phase.
We believe that's where
its core is located.
Your sniping position, as well as various factors that
affect your trajectory, will all be in putted by us.
Thus, all you have to do is to follow the on-screen
prompts, and fire when the center indicators meet.
The machine will handle the rest.
However only one spot has been set
up to supply all of this power.
For that reason, Unit 01 cannot
change its firing position.
Retreating isn't an option, then?
Correct.
So what if I miss, and
the Angel shoots back?
Don't concern yourself with unnecessary thoughts
now. Focus on destroying the target in one shot.
If I don't, we'll be in a big pinch, huh?
I... I am supposed to protect Unit 01?
Yes.
Understood.
It's time. Both of you, get dressed.
Yes.
Yes.
You know...
we might die this time.
No.
You won't die.
I will protect you.
I'm not worth protecting...
This message was left at
NERV Public Affairs Dept.
Um... This is Suzuhara.
Ikari... No, let me call you Shinji.
Shinji, we're counting on you!
Hey, this is Aida.
Ikari, do your best!
Ayanami, why do you pilot your Eva?
Because of my bond.
Your bond?
Yes. My bond.
With my father?
With everyone.
You're strong, Ayanami.
I don't have anything else.
It's time. Let's go.
Farewell.
Be aware that, as of now, it
has just passed midnight.
It's time.
Shinji-kun, you chose to pilot your Eva.
If only for that, I am grateful.
Thank you.

Shinji-kun?!
Unit 01's pilot is hereby relieved of duty.
We'll entrust the task of
sniping to Unit 00's pilot.
Ikari!
If he is of no use, we have
no choice but to cut him off.
Please hold on!
He didn't run from piloting the Eva.
He chose not to step down of his own
volition. We should entrust this to him!
Shinji, we're counting on you!
Ikari, do your best!
Please have some faith in your own son.
I will place my faith in him as well.
I'll leave it to you. Do as you please.
Thank you, sir!
Shinji-kun.
Yes...?

Ayanami!
Ayanami!
Ayanami!
Are you okay?!
Ayanami?! Ayanami!
Don't say things like,
"I have nothing else".
Don't say sad things like "farewell,"
as if we'll never meet again...
Why are you crying?
I'm sorry.
I don't know what kind of expression
I should have at a time like this...
It'd be best if you smiled, I think.
Let me guess... The boy has awakened. Now we
enter the general phase of the plan, yes?
That's correct. The Dead Sea Scroll Apocrypha
have been fulfilled up to the Books of law.
The promised time draws near.
Not the Third again...
You never change, do you?
I look forward to meeting
you, Ikari Shinji-kun.

You don't know what you want,
but you can't stop wanting.
Lukewarm tears roll down your cheeks.
I have nothing I want to tell you,
I just want to meet you again.

I don't see the need for newspapers,
The important things are not printed there.

PREVIEW
Backup Eva 05 is sortied into action.
Unit 02 and its pilot are
moved to the front lines.
Unit 04 mysteriously goes missing.
The disaster that took place when
Unit 03 was forcefully activated.
And finally, Unit 06 and its
pilot descend from the moon!
As Ikari Shinji continues to mentally
deteriorate, where will our story lead?
Next time in Rebuild of
Evangelion 2.0: Division
And we'll have lots of
fan service for you next time, too!
- Anime 2007 720p [H264-mp4] English
It shows up now, of all times!?
Geez...
Due to the present state of emergency,
all phone lines have been disabled.
No good, huh?
My cell phone has no signal,
and the buses and trains are shut down too.
I guess it'll be impossible
to meet her now.
I've got no choice. I
should head to a shelter.
All missiles have hit the target!
Sorry I made you wait!
The target is still unharmed. It's
continuing to advance towards Tokyo-3.
The Air Force is unable to stop it!
Throw everything at it! Have
even the 4th Division open fire!
Spare no expense! Destroy
the target at all costs!
How the hell?! We made direct hits!!
The tank battalion was
completely destroyed.
Missiles and artillery are useless...
It's pointless! This type of firepower's
not going to get us anywhere!
So, it has an AT Field after all?
Yes...
Conventional weapons are
useless against an Angel.
Understood. We'll deploy
it according to plan.
No way... it can't be...!
They're going to use an N2 Mine?!
Get down!
We did it!
It seems you won't be needed this time.
Shockwave incoming!
Are you okay?
Yeah... but I think I got
some sand in my mouth.
Great! Here, help me out...
Get ready...
And PUSH!
Thanks! Couldn't have done it myself.
No, I should be thanking
you, Katsuragi-san.
Call me Misato, alright?
It's nice to meet you, Ikari Shinji-kun.
Yeah.
What is the target's status?
Due to radio interference, the
target cannot be confirmed.
With that explosion, it
must be obliterated.
Restoring visual.
And that was our trump card...
How is this possible...
Goddamn monster!
Thank God my Renault still works!
It'd be no joke for this car to die on me, since
I've still got 12 payments left on the lease...
Anyway, I called ahead to reserve
an express train for us,
so we might still make it in time!
Say, don't you have any
questions for me, Shinji-kun?
N-no.
I've been the only one
talking here, you know!
Sorry...
Oh, it's nothing to apologize over,
but I was sure you were going to
ask "What was that giant thing?,"
or maybe, "What's going on here?"
you know, those sorts of things?
Um, well...
I don't see the point, since I didn't
think you'd give me an answer anyway.
Wow, you sure jump to wrong
conclusions, don't you?
That's something adults do, not teenagers!
It's okay.
I'm just following my directions.
Oh?... never mind then.
Just for your information, that thing was a
mysterious life form we call an "Angel."
The 4th Angel...
It possesses an astounding
regenerative capacity.
Complete by itself, it is a
nearly-perfect living creature.
Of course it can regenerate.
Because Angels partook of the
Fruit of Life, you mean?
Yes. They exist to exterminate us... we,
who partook of the Fruit of Wisdom.
The gate is closing. Please be careful.
"Secret Military Agency NERV"...?
Yes, it's a private organization under
the direct control of the U.N..
That's where my father is?
Well, yeah...
Do you know what your dad's job is?
"Work of utmost importance in
the protection of humanity."
That's what my teacher said.
From here on, you will be in
command of this operation.
Show us what you can do.
Understood.
Ikari-kun, I have to admit that nothing in
our arsenal is effective against the target.
So you claim you can defeat this thing?
NERV exists for that very purpose.
Are we going to where my father is?
Yeah, I imagine he'll be there.
Father...
By the way, did your father
send you an ID card?
Ah, yeah.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Here, read this please.
NERV.
My father's work.
Is there something I'm needed for?
Of course. He wouldn't send me a letter
if he didn't need me for something.
I see, you don't get
along with your father.
Me neither.
Amazing!
A real GeoFront!
That's right.
And that is our secret
base; NERV Headquarters.
It's humanity's fortress, the
cornerstone to rebuilding our world.
Let's see... from the
terminal's Western exit,
Go north to the 3rd gate and take a right.
Then, we need to take Route 8...
Could they have made this
facility any more complicated?
Hmm... this looks like the correct route...
Um, are we lost?
I'm just not used to this place yet.
Either way, if we keep heading
forward we'll eventually get there!
Secondary cooling cycle complete.
All personnel, evacuate
the tank immediately.
I want the left arm's conductive
plating defrosted and ready to go
within the next three minutes!
And don't forget that apoptosis data!
Roger!
Attention Professor Akagi: Chief Operations Officer Lt. Colonel
Katsuragi, together with one young boy, have arrived at Shaft S36.
What a surprise.
She's late yet again.
Ah... Ritsuko!
You're 12 minutes past schedule. You were taking so long,
I came to greet you personally, Lt. Colonel Katsuragi.
We're short on staff and out of time.
Eh... Sorry!
Is this the boy?
Yup.
I'm the Chief Engineer and Administrator
of NERV's Project E, Akagi Ritsuko.
It's nice to meet you.
M-me too.
Well then, I'll leave things here to you.
It'll be their first meeting in 3 years...
Deputy Commander! The
target has begun to move!
Understood.
All units, Level One battle stations!
I repeat, all units, Level
One battle stations!
Ground forces, prepare for combat!
Ikari Shinij-kun, there's
something I want to show you.
The ultimate man-made multipurpose fighting
machine. The artificial human, Evangelion.
That is Unit 01.
Mankind's very last trump card.
This is my father's work?
Correct.
It's been a while.
Father...
Prepare to sortie.
Sortie?!
But Unit 00 is still frozen, isn't it?
Unless... You intend to use Unit 01?
There is no other choice.
Ikari Shinji-kun...?
Y-Yes?
You will pilot it.
Why did you call me here, Father?
For the same reason you're thinking.
I'm supposed to pilot this and fight
that thing I just saw outside?
Correct.
I don't want to! What are you
saying all of a sudden?!
I thought you didn't need me!
That's why you left!
I need you now, so I called for you.
Why... me?
Because no one else can.
I can't do it...
I've never seen or heard of this thing.
I just can't!
We'll explain it to you.
No...
I can't do it!
There's no way I can do this!
If you're going to pilot it, do it now.
If not...
Leave!
So, we've been found...
Armored hulls 1 through
8 have been breached!
Shinji-kun, there isn't much time.
Widespread fire alarms in Block D.
Closing all fire doors in the area.
Pilot it!
No!
Sure, I came all this way...
but this is impossible!
Shinji-kun, why did you come here?
Don't run away. You have to face your
father... and more importantly, yourself.
I know that! But I just can't do this!
Fuyutsuki.
Wake up Rei.
Can we use her?
She's not dead.
Understood.
Rei.
Yes.
The backup is useless.
We need you once more.
Yes.
Switch Unit 01's core unit to the
L-00 type and reactivate it!
Roger. Suspending current tasks.
Reactivating.
Entering reactivation command.
I knew it. I was never needed...
The Target has broken through
the final defence line,
and is proceeding to head right above us.
Are you alright?
I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I
mustn't run away, I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away!
I'll do it.
I'll pilot it.
Third cooling cycle, complete.
Flywheel rotation shutdown.
Unlocking the connectors.
No problems with the auxiliary power.
Shutdown signal plug extraction complete.
Roger, inserting entry plug.
Unlocking spinal conductive network.
Prepare for connection.
Probe needle insertion complete.
Prime sync established. Psychological
corruption values within acceptable range.
Maintaining range between
plus-02 and minus-05.
Locking down interior array.
Roger, starting first contact.
Flooding Entry Plug.
W-What is this?
It's alright.
Once the LCL fills your lungs, it will
provide oxygen directly to your blood.
You'll get used to it.
Main power source connection complete.
Roger.
Starting second contact.
Initializing interface.
A-10 nerve connection is normal.
LCL ionization levels normal.
Set Japanese as the linguistic
norm for cognitive interface.
No problems detected with initial contacts.
Communication lines open.
Points on the list up to 1405, all clear.
Measuring synapse levels.
Synchronization rate, 41.3%.
And he's not even wearing a plug suit!
Amazing!
Harmonics are in normal levels.
Everything's under control.
We are ready!
Prepare to launch!
Prepare to launch!
Release primary lock bolts!
Release confirmed.
Initiating retraction of umbilical bridge.
Release secondary lock bolts!
Removing primary restraints.
Proceeding to remove secondary restraints.
Disengaging safety systems 01 through 15.
Disengagement confirmed.
Unit 01 is now free.
Internal power supply, fully charged.
No problems with the external power socket.
Understood. Move Unit 01 to the launch pad.
No problems with the positioning
of any of the linear rail tracks.
Electromagnetic induction
system, working normally.
Unit 01 is now moving to K-52.
Launch sequence is proceeding normally.
Eva has arrived at the launch terminal hub.
Launch tube clear. All green!
Launch preparations complete.
Understood.
I have your approval?
Absolutely.
Our future depends on defeating the Angels.
Ikari, you're absolutely sure about this?
LAUNCH!
Are you alright, Shinji-kun?
Y-Yes.
Release the final safety lock!
Evangelion Unit 01, lift off!
Shinji-kun...
for now, just concentrate on walking.
Walk...
It walked!
Walk...
Shinji-kun, stay alert!
Hurry...
Hurry and get back up!
Shinji-kun, calm down!
It's not really your arm that's being hurt!
What happened to Eva's defensive systems?
Signal inactive!
The field isn't expending.
It's not working?
The left arm is damaged!
Circuits are going off-line!
Shinji-kun, dodge!!
Frontal cranium is fracturing!
Its armour can't withstand much more!
Cranial damage, severity unknown!
Operational integrity compromised!
What's the status?
Synchro graph inverting!
Pulse entering reflux!
Cut off the circuits! Block the flow!
We can't!
The signal's being refused,
we can't get through!
Shinji-kun's status?!
No response from the monitoring system.
Condition unknown!
Unit 01 has gone silent.
Misato!
That's it!
Abort the operation! Pilot
rescue has top priority!
Emergency plug ejection!
We can't! It's not responding!
What?!
The Eva has reactivated!
Impossible...
It should be knocked out!
Has it gone...
Berserk?!
We've won.
An AT-Field?
It's pointless. Unless the
AT Field is breached...
you can't do anything to an Angel.
Left arm restored!
Amazing!
Unit 01 has also raised an AT-Field!
Angel phase space is being neutralized.
No. It's corroding it.
It broke through that AT-Field
like it was nothing...
What is Eva's status?
Is this Eva's...
True form?
Have you decided on a name?
If it's a boy, Shinji. If
it's a girl, then Rei.
Shinji...
Rei...
Shinji...
Shinji... Ayanami.
Shinji...
Rei...
Rei... Ikari...?
Rei...
No...
Ayanami... Rei!
An unfamiliar ceiling...
The attack of the fourth
Angel, and its defeat...
Then the acquisition of the Third Child...
And the activation of Eva Unit 01...
Overall the plan is progressing well.
Well, except for the colossal expense
necessary to repair Unit 01.
Compared to Unit 00 in cryo-suspension,
that is hardly a problem.
Eva Unit 01's recovery
operation is complete.
Right now, it's being locked into Cage 6.
A full-systems check will
commence at 10:00 hours.
And the recording from
when it went berserk?
It was blank. Absolutely
nothing was recorded.
And so, we have no idea what the cause was.
Our absolute confidence in its combat
performance... may be a bit misplaced.
As long as it can fight the 5th
Angel, minor bugs are tolerable.
No need for concern.
We'll continue deployment of Unit 01.
And Unit 02 and its pilot in Germany are
under deployment qualification exams.
The construction of Unit 03 is
also progressing as planned.
It's your responsibility to make
proper use of NERV and the Evas.
We earnestly hope you
will not disappoint us.
That's right. Defeating the Angels is but one
step in fulfilling our contract with Lilith.
The Human Instrumentality Project...
Its execution is our ultimate goal.
I understand. Everything will go
according to SEELE's scenario.
An Angel leaves quite a mark when it's
destroyed after it loses its AT Field.
The blood is like a lake from hell...
It's got the same nasty
feeling as the Second Impact.
Our Eva can defeat an Angel...
That alone will give
humanity a glimmer of hope.
Well, looks the pilot of hope just woke up.
Paging Chief Internist Dr. Ugai. Dr. Ugai.
Please contact Dr. Azuma in the Emergency
Surgical Ward as soon as possible.
The B Incident Grand Rounds will
momentarily begin, according to schedule.
Would the event directors please make their
way to conference room 2? Thank you.
Alone?
Yes, he's been assigned quarters
in Block 6. That all right?
Yes.
Is that really okay?
Shinji-kun?
It's fine. I'm always alone.
It's always the same wherever I go.
What?!
Like I was saying, I'm taking Shinji
back to my place to live with me.
I have authorization from above.
Don't worry, I wouldn't lay a
hand on a little boy like him.
Of course you won't! Honestly, what are you
thinking?! Don't even say things like this!
She could never take a joke...
All right, we're gonna
having a party tonight!
What for?
To welcome my new room-mate, of course!
So you've decided to move?
Yes, I never thought this city
would become a battlefield.
Indeed! My husband wants me and
the children to leave here too!
I heard that just today, over
100 people left the city.
This may be a fortress city, but those
people at NERV seem rather incompetent.
I get chills just thinking
about what happened yesterday.
I know...
Sorry,
but we're going to take a slight detour.
Where to?
Some place special.
This city...
seems so lonely, doesn't it?
It's time.
Amazing...
Buildings are sprouting out of the ground!
This is the special fortress-city
for intercepting Angels.
Tokyo-3.
This is our city...
And the city that you protected.
Looks like your things have
already been delivered.
To tell the truth, I've only
moved to this city recently.
All right, come on in.
Um...
Pardon the intrusion.
Shinji-kun, this is your home now.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home.
Ah yeah...
It's a little messy in here,
but try to ignore it.
Is this...
a little?
Oh sorry, could you put the
food in the fridge please?
Ah, sure!
Ice...
Snacks...
And nothing but beer?
What kind of life does she lead?
Let's dig in!
Let's eat...
Ah, I love it! This is what
makes life worth living!
Not hungry? For instant
food, it's pretty good.
Well... I'm just not used
to this sort of meal.
No! You just can't be so picky!
No, that's not it... Um...
Isn't this fun...?
Having a meal with another person?
Uh... yes.
All right!
Since this is your home now,
feel free to just let loose!
Y-Yes...
Come on... This "Yes, yes, yes,
yes." is getting on my nerves...
You're a boy aren't you?!
Show some backbone, will you!
Yes.
Well, whatever.
Once you'll get in the bath, all those bad
feelings will just wash away in an instant!
Bathing lets you wash your life anew.
M-M-Misato-san!
What?
Ah, him? He's my pet bird. They
call them hot spring penguins.
Birds like that actually exist?!
They used to be a lot more common
15 years ago. His name is Pen-pen.
He'll be your other room-mate in this house.
Anyway... shouldn't you be covering that?
Maybe I'm being overly flamboyant... he
might be able to see right through me.
Katsuragi Misato-san...
She's not a bad person.
Bathing lets you wash your life anew!
I tend to remember bad
things when I'm in a bath...
How was Rei doing?
You went to her hospital
this afternoon, no?
There are no problems. Preparing to restart
the frozen Unit 00 is more important.
Are you sure about using your son? His
mental state seems to be very unstable.
Don't worry about him. His condition will give
us the perfect pretext to reinstate Unit 00.
We'll proceed according to Lt. Colonel
Katsuragi's suggestion, then.
Even without a preliminary report, they
suddenly selected him as the Third Child.
And as if in response, the
Fourth Angel attacks.
In addition, Commander Ikari
forces his son to pilot.
I certainly feel very
uneasy about that fact...
But still, even after successfully defeating
that Angel, I feel surprisingly...
unhappy.
Another unfamiliar ceiling...
No surprise...
Nothing about this city is familiar.
This is your home now.
Why am I even here?
Shinji-kun? I'm coming in.
I forgot to tell you something.
You've done a wonderful
thing worth praising today.
You should be proud.
Goodnight, Shinji-kun.
Hang in there.
Sorry, transfer kid. I had to hit ya.
To settle the score with you.
Real sorry. That guy's little sister was
injured in that big incident the other day.
That's just how it is with him.
It's not like I piloted
it because I wanted to.
How is this something
people would praise me for?
Why do I have to get hit just
because I piloted the Eva?
Is everything alright, Shinji-kun?
Yes.
Within each Angel there is a central core.
The only way to defeat an Angel
directly is to destroy that core.
Therefore, centre on target,
then pull the trigger.
This way, you can dispose of them
accurately if you master the process.
Okay.
Good. Continue practising
like this in induction mode.
Okay.
Still, I'm quite surprised Shinji-kun
suddenly changed his mind about piloting...
That boy only gets through life by silently
obeying whatever people tell him, doesn't he?
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Which reminds me...
Wasn't Shinji-kun hit by one of
his classmates at his new school?
Is our pilot security sufficient?
There's no problem with our
intelligence department's surveillance.
Besides, it wasn't very bad.
It would better if we stayed
out of his private life.
Doesn't he live with you?
His maintenance is your
responsibility too, you know.
That's just it.
It's difficult... He's far
more naïve than I expected.
Hah, complaining already?
You were the one who was so
adamant about taking him in.
Quiet, you.
You're right, he doesn't have much
of a personality for making friends.
Have you heard of the "Hedgehog's dilemma"?
Hedgehog? The little spiky things?
Hedgehogs have a hard time sharing
warmth with other hedgehogs.
The closer they become, the
more they hurt each other.
People are like that as well.
Like with Shinji-kun right now.
The more pain his heart endures,
the more afraid he becomes.
Well, eventually he'll realize.
Becoming an adult means drawing close
and growing apart over and over...
and discovering the way to
avoid wounding one another.
I certainly hope so.
Anyway, when are we gonna get budget
approval to upgrade Block B here?
Eva's maintenance and armaments
are the top priority.
Maybe there's no money left?
My ass is freezing!
An emergency call...
I'll go on ahead.
We have direct visual of inbound object.
E747 has also confirmed the object.
Analysis indicates Pattern Blue. There's
no doubt. It's the fifth Angel.
All hands, level one battle stations!
Roger, ground-to-air missiles ready!.
Tokyo-3 entering combat configuration.
Retracting central block.
Center block and Districts One through
Seven's retraction is complete.
All governmental departments
have been notified.
Target continuing inbound movement.
The anti-air interception
system is 48% activated.
Status of non-combatants and civilians?
We've already received a
complete evacuation report.
All Elementary and Middle School student classes,
please gather in your designated blocks.
There is a lost child at shelter
number 323 in Sector Seven.
It's happening again.
Just text again?
They're controlling the broadcast.
They won't show us regular
citizens anything.
Not even a big event like this!
This is a waste of tax money.
Some people just aren't happy
unless they burn through some ammo.
The Japanese government is demanding
we send out the Evangelion.
How annoying. It's not like we weren't
going to do that without their orders.
We've started the entry. Ionizing LCL.
Father's not even watching me...
Why am I piloting this again?
People hate me for this...
Hey, I wanna talk to you
about something, alone.
What about?
Just for a minute, okay?
Alright, alright...
Right, right, and then-
Class Rep!
What?
We, uh, both need to take a leak!
Geez, make it quick!!
So, what's this about?
I want to see it at least
once before I die!
That battle up there?
This is the real deal! If I don't go now,
who knows when I'll get another chance...
Jeez, Kensuke, what is it with you?
"If you waste this moment,
you may waste everything."
Come on... Just help me get past the gate.
Guess I've got no choice. You're a real
slave to your passions, aren't you?
Shinji-kun, are you ready for launch?
Yes.
Remember. Continuous Gatling gun
fire as you neutralize its AT Field.
Just like in practice. You'll be fine.
Yes...
Launch!
Incredible! This was worth the trouble!
Yes! This is what I've been waiting for!
It's here.
- Center on target, then pull the trigger.
- Expanding A.T. Field.
Center on target, then pull the trigger.
Proceed according to the
plans, okay, Shinji-kun?
Yes.
Idiot! All that smoke is
obscuring the target!
The heck? He's gettin' his ass kicked!
He's fine!
We're sending up a spare rifle!
Grab it!
Shinji-kun...? Shinji-kun?!
Oh man... Your beating
must have shaken him up.
Sh-Shut up!
Umbilical Cable has been severed!
Eva switching to internal power supply!
Operational time remaining
is 4 minutes 53 seconds!
It's coming this way!
Shinji-kun, are you all right?! Shinji-kun!
Damage report?
No problems. He's good to go.
Shinji-kun's classmates?!
What are they doing there?!
Why isn't he fighting back?!
Maybe he can't move freely...
because we're here!?
Unit 01 will reach operational time
limit in 3 minutes 28 seconds!
Palm armour overheating. Damage, 58%.
Shinji-kun, let those two into the cockpit!
Once they're in, get out of there!
We'll start over afterwards.
You two, get in, quickly!
What the... Is this water?!
My camera! My camera!
System restarting.
Palm surface meltdown has reached
the 3rd protective layer!
Now's your chance! Retreat!
Use escape route 34. Retreat on
the eastern side of the mountain.
Hey, transfer kid, she said "retreat!"
I mustn't run away... I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away...
Transfer kid!
Progressive Knife equipped!
Shinji-kun, listen to my order!
Fall back now!
Shinji-kun!
That idiot!
Unit 01 will reach operational
time limit in 30 seconds.
28, 27, 26...
25, 24, 23, 22...
13, 12, 11, 10...
9, 8, 7, 6, 5...
4, 3, 2, 1...
Eva Unit 01 has ceased operation.
Target has completely disintegrated.
Why did you ignore my orders?
I'm sorry.
I am your operational supervisor, am I not?
Yes.
It's your duty to follow
the orders I give you.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
Yes.
Do you really understand
what I'm telling you?
Yes, I understand, Misato-san.
It's fine, we won, didn't we?
I'll pilot it if you tell me to.
Isn't that what you want?
That's enough. Go back and get some rest.
Next stop is Nagao Pass. Nagao Pass.
Please exit to the right.
He doesn't plan on coming home...
That idiot.
Ikari, Ikari Shinji.
What's this? He just got here,
and he's already absent?
Oh well. Now then, I'll hand back
the tests from the other day.
I've had enough of this!
Please take me back to Misato-san!
Did your little stroll clear things
up for you, Ikari Shinji-kun?
Not really. It didn't really matter.
Nothing does.
I don't have any freedom anyway.
I have no choice but to pilot Eva, do I?
That's the only reason my father
called for me, after all.
Fine. I'll pilot it.
If that's what everyone
wants, that's what I'll do.
You talk about everyone else,
but what about yourself?
I know I can't do this. I bet
everybody else does, too.
But Ayanami is hurt, and
you and father want...
Cut it out!
This has nothing to do with anyone else!
You need to decide if you want
to be the pilot for the Eva.
You're free to go if you want to.
You have all the freedom you want.
Do as you please!
In the end, your son's actions
followed the plan to the letter.
Yes. Next we must make
him and Rei get closer.
All is according to plan.
A scenario written out 14 years ago.
These poor children's fates
have already been determined.
Don't you find that a bit harsh?
C'mon, hurry it up! And don't hold back!
If you don't do this, I won't
feel like it's settled!
Well, that's just the kind of straightforward
guy he is. I'm counting on you.
Now we're even. I'm sorry
for hitting you, Ikari.
Go, go, Kayoko!
If you lose, you're buying us a pizza!
That's it! Go, go, go!
In your dreams!!
Please! Give me one more chance!!
Ew, the boys are peeping!
Pervs!
That's naughty!
Suzuhara's gaze is so lewd!
Ikari-kun~!
Ayanami Rei, age 14.
She was the first candidate
chosen by the Marduk Institute.
The First Child.
Specifically, she is the exclusive operator
of the prototype Evangelion, Unit 00.
Her personal history is blank.
Completely erased.
So, to save her, my father...
Critical error in start-up system!
Failures in Stage 3 routines!
Nervous system elements rejected.
The main transmission system is scrambled!
It's overflowing!
Neural pulse flow reversing!
I'm unable to stop it!
Direct camera feed, down!
Entry plug unstable. Eva
is refusing to release it!
Abort contacts. Close off all
circuits up to number six.
I can't! The signal won't go through!
Unit 00 is out of control!
Abort the test. Cut all power.
Yes, sir!
Unit 00 has switched to auxiliary power.
35 seconds to total system shutdown.
Fail-safe system has yet to activate.
It's dangerous! Please step back!
The auto-eject has activated!
Oh no!
We still cannot control Unit 00!
Quickly, release specialized Bakelite!
Rei!
Ten seconds to complete shutdown!
8, 7, 6, 5...
4, 3, 2, 1.
Unit 00 has ceased all activity.
Rei, are you alright?
Rei!
That's good.
It was so sudden. I couldn't believe it.
It was deleted from the official
report, but it's an undisputed fact.
Unit 00 just went berserk,
and is still being unfrozen.
Isn't that a bit hasty?
The Angels have reappeared. It's our top
priority to reinforce our military strength.
That's true, but...
We've already run
reactivation tests with Rei.
Unit 00 itself is ready.
Once the adjustments to the
nerve connections are complete.
It's so we can re-deploy it soon, isn't it?
Ayanami...
Why is she always alone?
Eva Unit 01 is beginning
third coolant phase.
Please set all systems in
Cage 6 to phase three.
Copying the all-range data of the
entry plug to Melchior. Data sent.
Begin third cooling phase.
Copying situation data
from Casper to Melchior.
Currently, Unit 01's plug depth is at 0,8.
It's within acceptable measurement range.
T-minus 150 minutes to Unit 00's
conductive systems restart and testing.
Roger. Routine synchronization
test, Program 508 is now complete.
Good work, Shinji-kun.
So, what's it like living with him?
It's alright. I'm getting used to it.
Still a little nervous?
It's not your first time
living with a man, is it?
This isn't like 8 years ago.
This time, it's not an
intimate relationship.
I don't know about that...
Shinji-kun is still here
because of you, isn't he?
You're wrong there.
It's probably because his father's here.
He wants his father to acknowledge him.
To pat him on the shoulder.
To praise him, even if it's just one word.
I think he wants a love that
will wipe away his loneliness.
He's conflicted over his father,
just like you are, Misato.
I wonder why Commander Ikari acts
so distant with his own son.
And it looks like he talks to Rei a lot.
It's a terrible balance.
Lately, it seems like men have no interest
in anything other than themselves.
It's a tough time to be a woman, isn't it?
Well, then...
It's about time. I have to head back.
You're a worker bee, as always.
Take these if you're going home, Misato.
It's Shinji-kun's official security card,
and Ayanami Rei's renewed card.
I forgot about these.
Could you ask Shinji to give this to her?
Alright.
Ayanami Rei...
Why was father smiling with her...?
Why won't he smile for me?
Excuse me...
Excuse me, it's Ikari!
Ayanami, I'm coming in.
Could these be Ayanami's?
Oh, no... Um... I...!
I didn't mean to...
Could you move?
U-um...!
What is it?
Um... I was... Um...
That is...
I... I was asked to... I mean...
The uhhh...
The card! The c-card was renewed and...
and I c-came to deliver it...
So... So... It's not
like I was trying to...
Ritsuko-san said she forgot
to give it to you. Honestly.
I rang the doorbell, but no one answered...
and the door was unlocked, so...
Offices in the Central Dogma
are currently accessible.
Group 3 visitors are requested
to please use Direct Gate 4.
Here's your new card, Ayanami.
Ritsuko-san left it with me.
Sorry about before.
What for?
Say, Ayanami... Aren't you afraid?
About piloting that Evangelion again.
Why should I be?
I heard you got hurt in that test...
So... Are you really okay?
Yes. I'm okay.
But... aren't you afraid
it will go berserk again?
Or we could lose to an Angel and die!
You're Commander Ikari's son, aren't you?
You don't have faith in your father's work?
Of course not! Not from a father like him.
Um...
Monitored object is proceeding
past the Odawara defence Line.
Object analysis complete.
Pattern blue. Angel confirmed.
As we thought. The 6th Angel.
Yes.
Prepare Unit 01 for sortie.
Prepare to launch Unit 01!
Anti-air interception weapons armed.
The target is passing above Lake Ashinoko.
Evangelion Unit 01 is ready to launch!
Launch!
High energy reaction
detected inside the target!
What?!
Don't tell me...!
Get out of there!
Lower synchronization rate to minimum!
Deploy blast shield!
Abort intercept! Begin
emergency recovery of Unit 01!
We can't! The catapult has melted.
It's unusable!
What about the AT-Field?
Fully raised. Structural integrity
is holding, but barely!
No! No more of this!
Let me out! Get me out of here, father!!
Abort the operation!
Place top priority on the pilot's safety!
Force eject the plug!
That won't do.
If the pilot is taken out, Eva's
AT-Field will completely disappear!
Things will go from bad to worse.
But...
There's no other choice...
Emergency recovery! Blow
the explosive bolts!
The target has ceased fire.
Unit 01 retrieved. Sending to Cage 99!
Rescue team, stand by!
First priority is cooling
the LCL in the plug!
Pilot confirmed! His heart rate is weak.
Boost plug suit life support to Max!
Begin cardiac massage!
Understood!
Pulse confirmed!
Forcefully eject the plug!
Stabilizing possible rupture
point in the interior.
Begin emergency LCL draining!
At once!
Draining LCL.
Hurry emergency treatment!
The target is currently
invading from above.
It's in the midst of drilling
through to the Geo-Front.
Its objective is a direct
attack on our NERV HQ, is it?
Well then, let's hear the results
of each department's analysis.
Judging from the previous battle...
the target automatically engages
any enemy within a certain range.
Meaning it's impossible for Eva to
engage it in close combat, right?
How's its AT Field?
Still operational. And
to make matters worse...
with its phase pattern constantly shifting,
the field's surface is unstable.
Neutralizing it will be very difficult.
According to Magi's calculations...
to pierce the enemy's AT Field, we'd need to drop so many
aerial N2 Mines that it would destroy NERV HQ as well.
The Magi 2 at Matsushiro
reached the same conclusion.
Right now, the Japanese government and U.N.
Forces are petitioning NERV HQ to do just that.
An easy suggestion to make when
they're not the ones in danger.
If this place falls, then all is lost.
However, the drill has already breached
the second layer of armour plating.
It's already begun penetrating the third.
The estimated time from today until
it has passed through all 22 layers,
reaching the area above HQ, is
12:06:54 AM tomorrow morning.
We have ten hours and fourteen minutes.
To make matters worse, Unit 00 needs to
be calibrated before it's operational.
Unit 01 is also currently unmovable
due to its previous injury.
The situation sure isn't favourable.
We're certainly backed into a corner.
Should we wave the white flag?
Maybe... but before we do, I have a
little something I'd like to try.
The intelligence division should be aware
of the JSSDF's secret weapon, right?
Still, though, it's reckless to use this in
an operation, Operations Chief Katsuragi.
"Reckless" is a bit rude.
It can be done within the remaining nine
hours, and it's the best shot we've got.
Operation Yashima...
As the name suggests, we'll be taking
electrical power from all over Japan.
And then direct it toward JSSDF's secret
prototype weapon, a high power positron cannon.
Since it's unfinished, and can't be used on its
own, it's been modified for Eva to control it.
Convincing the U.N. Forces is one thing, but
the Ministry of Home Affairs and JSSDF, too?
Let's just say they owe me a few favours.
You sure are good at what you do.
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
I repeat...
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
Alright. Let's go.
Yeah.
From midnight tonight to before dawn tomorrow, the
entire country will experience a large-scale blackout.
We ask for everyone's cooperation.
The Angel has penetrated
through the 7th armoured plate!
What's the status of our energy system?
Power will be fed directly from the Shingotenba
substation and two backup generators!
Superconductor power lines now being
laid towards lower Futagoyama.
The transformer relay system is scheduled to
be up and running at 10:50 PM Japan time.
How's progress on the sniping system?
No problems in assembly. We'll have no trouble
making it by the operation start time.
What is Unit 01's status?
It's currently being outfitted
with G-type sniping equipment.
It will be ready to deploy in two hours.
Roger that! All that's
left now is the pilot.
But I wonder... Will he be
willing to pilot it again?
What do you plan to do
about Unit 01's pilot?
It's too soon to test
the dummy plug system.
We have no other practical means other
than letting the current pilot handle it.
In the worst case, do we brainwash him?
If things don't work
out, there's always Rei.
Rei in Unit 01? Isn't that a bit too risky?
We must use whatever means are available to us.
We still have eight Angels we must defeat.
And then, we realize our goal...
I hate it... piloting the Eva.
If I do it well, no one
praises me for doing it.
If I fail, everyone will hate me.
Or, even worse, I could just die.
Why am I even here?
I thought things would change here.
That maybe good things would happen.
I didn't come here to be put through hell.
So you plan to spend the rest of your life
running away from everything unpleasant?
Live?
Why am I alive, anyway?
I used to think I didn't
have a choice in the matter.
Whether it's my father or
Misato-san, no one really needs me.
If I couldn't pilot Eva, there
would be no need for me.
That's why I have no
choice but to pilot Eva.
That's why I'm able to stay here.
But when I pilot my Eva, I...
This ceiling again...
Is this all I get for piloting that thing?
Ayanami...?
You were here the whole time?
I'm here to tell you about the schedule for Operation
Yashima, which will commence at midnight tomorrow.
Pilots Ikari and Ayanami are to
report at Terminal 2 at 19:30.
At 20:00, Unit 01, accompanied
by Unit 00, will be transferred.
Launch is scheduled at 20:05.
By 20:30, they will arrive at
the 2nd Futagoyama fortress.
After that, they will await further orders.
When the clock strikes midnight,
the operation will begin.
Your food.
I don't feel like eating anything.
We leave in 90 minutes.
You're saying I'll be
piloting that thing again?
Yes.
I don't want to. I don't want
to feel that scared anymore.
It's terrifying...! But I
can't even run away...
You're afraid of Eva?
Then stay and rest.
Rest?
I will pilot Unit 01.
Ayanami!
Farewell.
The Angel is penetrating through
the 17th armoured plate!
Target will reach NERV Headquarters
in 4 minutes 55 seconds.
The new western Hakone line and the southern
Tounosawa overhead line have been electrified.
Currently, the number 16 substation is continuing
to establish its transformer equipment.
500,000 volts are flowing through the transformers
as planned. No changes to the time sheet.
The 28th transformer group will
arrive after a five minute delay.
All related persons, please
hurry to your respective lines.
Begin proceeding to Stage Four of the simulation.
Now re-checking recovery and support systems.
All SMES have been set up. Sequential
start-up from the first bundle confirmed.
All mega-high voltage superconductor transformers'
opening and closing checks complete. No problems.
So this is the giant positron cannon?
The assembly was rushed, but
theoretically it should work.
We're zeroing the alignment on our end and getting
it ready to link with the G-type equipment.
And, well, the rest is up to you.
You mean up to the pilot.
Misato, I sure hope this works.
Shinji-kun, you were
supposed to report long ago.
You chose to stay here, didn't you?
Then do your job properly.
I'm afraid of piloting the Eva...
You and the others have
nothing to be afraid of.
You're always just giving orders
from your base underground.
I'm the only one experiencing
these terrifying things.
You all are hypocrites.
Come with me for a sec.
Fifteen years ago,
half of humanity died in the Second Impact.
If the Angels cause a Third Impact now,
humanity will die out. No one will survive.
I've heard this story
countless times already.
If an Angel ever reaches Level
EEE of NERV Headquarters...
an automatic self-destruct would commence.
We will sacrifice ourselves to prevent
the Third Impact from happening.
Everyone who works here understands
and accepts that risk.
This is...
It can't be... An Eva...!?
Not quite. The bringer of life to this
planet, and the agent of its extinction...
The Second Angel, Lilith.
Lilith...?
Yes. Some believe it will act as
the trigger for the Third Impact.
We fight with the Evas to protect Lilith.
That is something that only you can do.
We're entrusting the future of
humanity to you and the Eva.
And why give me that
painful responsibility?
No reason. Fate chose you, that's all.
But you're not the only one putting
your life on the line here, Shinji-kun.
We all are.
I'll pilot it... one more time...
I will now inform you of your
roles in this operation.
Shinji-kun.
Yes?
You will act as gunner in Unit 01.
Yes.
Rei, you and Unit 00 will be on defence.
Yes.
The operation this time
calls for utmost precision.
That's why, instead of the uncalibrated Unit 00, we chose
to use Unit 01, even though it's still undergoing repairs.
Listen, Shinji-kun.
Because of the Earth's rotation, magnetic field, and
gravity, the positron cannon won't fire straight.
Don't forget to take those
factors into account.
You must strike the core in a single shot.
But I don't know where this one's core is.
Don't worry. There's a portion that
materializes during its attack phase.
We believe that's where
its core is located.
Your sniping position, as well as various factors that
affect your trajectory, will all be in putted by us.
Thus, all you have to do is to follow the on-screen
prompts, and fire when the center indicators meet.
The machine will handle the rest.
However only one spot has been set
up to supply all of this power.
For that reason, Unit 01 cannot
change its firing position.
Retreating isn't an option, then?
Correct.
So what if I miss, and
the Angel shoots back?
Don't concern yourself with unnecessary thoughts
now. Focus on destroying the target in one shot.
If I don't, we'll be in a big pinch, huh?
I... I am supposed to protect Unit 01?
Yes.
Understood.
It's time. Both of you, get dressed.
Yes.
Yes.
You know...
we might die this time.
No.
You won't die.
I will protect you.
I'm not worth protecting...
This message was left at
NERV Public Affairs Dept.
Um... This is Suzuhara.
Ikari... No, let me call you Shinji.
Shinji, we're counting on you!
Hey, this is Aida.
Ikari, do your best!
Ayanami, why do you pilot your Eva?
Because of my bond.
Your bond?
Yes. My bond.
With my father?
With everyone.
You're strong, Ayanami.
I don't have anything else.
It's time. Let's go.
Farewell.
Be aware that, as of now, it
has just passed midnight.
It's time.
Shinji-kun, you chose to pilot your Eva.
If only for that, I am grateful.
Thank you.

We'll entrust the task of
sniping to Unit 00's pilot.
Ikari!
If he is of no use, we have
no choice but to cut him off.
Please hold on!
He didn't run from piloting the Eva.
He chose not to step down of his own
volition. We should entrust this to him!
Shinji, we're counting on you!
Ikari, do your best!
Please have some faith in your own son.
I will place my faith in him as well.
I'll leave it to you. Do as you please.
Thank you, sir!

Don't say things like,
"I have nothing else".
Don't say sad things like "farewell,"
as if we'll never meet again...
Why are you crying?
I'm sorry.
I don't know what kind of expression
I should have at a time like this...
It'd be best if you smiled, I think.
Let me guess... The boy has awakened. Now we
enter the general phase of the plan, yes?
That's correct. The Dead Sea Scroll Apocrypha
have been fulfilled up to the Books of law.
The promised time draws near.
Not the Third again...
You never change, do you?
I look forward to meeting
you, Ikari Shinji-kun.
