Are you ready, Shinji ?

Ah, yes.

Remove the final
safety lock !

Evangelion Unit 01, lift off !

Shinji, think only
of walking now.

Walking...

It's walking !

Walking...

Shinji, come on !
Hurry, stand up quickly !

Shinji, calm down !
It's not your arm !

How's Eva's
defense system ?

The signal isn't working.

The Field hasn't developed !

It's not working ?!

Left arm damaged !

Circuits have snapped !

Shinji, escape !

The front area of
the head is cracked !

The armor won't
stand any more.

Head damaged.
Damage unidentified.

The nerves for control are
snapping one after another.

No response from the pilot !

Shinji !

An unknown ceiling...

EPISODE: 2
UNKNOWN
CEILINGS

The second coming of Angels...
It's too abrupt.

It's the same as 15 years ago.
A disaster always comes without notice.

In a way, it may be fortunate for us, because our prior investment didn't come to nothing...

Things have never turned out yet.
If it's useless, it's a waste.

That's right.

About cleaning up the aftermath of the Angels, which are now public knowledge...

...and information control... Have Nerv handle both of them appropriately and smoothly.

Those matters are already
taken care of. Relax.

The Government announcement regarding yesterday's special state emergency, states...

In this incident...

The UN forces in Japan...

The announcement was ``Scenario B-22.''
The facts were hushed up again.

The public relations department seems to be happy because they've got things to do at last.

They seem very optimistic.

Well...The truth is
that everyone is afraid.

Of course !

That's about it.

But, Ikari, can't you use
Nerv and Eva in better ways ?

The repair costs for Unit 00
and Unit 01 could ruin a country.

I heard that you gave
that toy to your son.

Humans, time and money...

How much must be spent by you and your son to satisfy you ?

Moreover, you have another
job to do, don't you ?

The Human Complement Project,
that must have top priority.

That's right. That project is our only hope under such hopeless circumstances.

Anyway, although the Angels came again, the project can't be allowed to fall behind schedule.

As for the budgets,
we'll consider them.

Well, the committee
will take over now.

Ikari, thanks.

Ikari, you can't turn back.

I know.
Humanity has no time.

I always think an air conditioner's the greatest treasure of humanity ! A scientific success !

Shinji has recovered consciousness.

How is he ?

No external wounds.
His memory is somewhat confused.

It can't be...Is it
mental contamination...?

I heard it's nothing
to worry about.

Oh, really.

That's right, because
it was so sudden...

It's no wonder. A severe burden was imposed on his cranial nerves.

I think you mean M-I-N-D.

If Eva and this city are successful, we'll be able to win.

Will you defeat the Angels ?
You're as optimistic as ever.

Wishful thinking is a
necessity of human life.

Right. Your optimistic
character is encouraging.

'Bye.

Is it alright that
they live separately ?

For Ikari and his son,
it's natural to be without each other.

If anything, it's unusual
to live together...is it so...

Alone ?

Yes, his room is located in
Block 6, over there. Any problems ?

No.

Are you satisfied
with it, Shinji ?

I prefer being alone.
All places are the same.

What ?!

As I said, I've decided to take charge of Shinji. I've got my superior's approval.

Don't worry. I won't have
an affair with a child.

That goes without saying !
What the hell are you thinking ?!

As always, she can't
understand a joke.

Well, tonight we're going to do it flamboyantly, aren't we ?

What do you mean ?

It's a welcome party for
a new lodger, of course !

Are you also
going to move ?

I'd never seriously thought that this city would really become a battlefield.

My husband told me that our children and I should move for safety at least.

Move for safety... Even if this is a fortress city, we can't rely on anything at all.

Yesterday's incident...The mere recollection of it makes me shudder.

Well, we're stopping
some place on the way.

Where are we going ?

It..is...a...good...place.

For some reason...this is a
lonesome city, isn't it ?

It's time.

Awesome !
The buildings are growing !

This is the fortress city for intercepting the Angels. ``Tokyo-3''... Our hometown...

...and the city
which you protected.

NEON GENESIS

I think your
things have arrived.

Actually, I also just
recently moved to this town.

Come on in.

Um...May I come in ?

Shinji, this is your house.

I...I'm back.

Welcome home.

Well, the place is a little untidy...
Hope you don't mind.

A...a little, she said...?

Oh, sorry. Could you put the food in the refrigerator ?

Ah, sure.

Ice...

Relishes...

And beer...

What kind of life
does she lead ?

Well, the refrigerator
over there...

Ah, it's OK.
Perhaps...sleeping now.

Sleeping...?

Thanks for food !

Thanks for food.

Oh my, what a life !
I just live for such times !

Ah, don't you like them ? They're rather tasty, even though they're instant.

No, but...I'm not
used to such a meal.

No, don't be fussy !

Ah...no...ah,
I didn't mean that.

Don't you think it's nice...

...having a meal with others ?

Sure.

Well. Next, here goes !

Jan-ken-pon !

Pon !

Pon !

Pon !

Pon !

You were unlucky, Shinji.

As for the everyday duties which we've fairly decided, everything is A-OK.

Yeah.

Well, because this is now your house, you can really feel at home here.

Ah...yeah.

Hey ! ``Yes, yeah, sure, okay''...
How gloomy !

You're a boy, aren't you ?
Pull yourself together !

Okay.

It's okay. Take a bath and wash all the unpleasant things away.

Taking a bath
is life washing.

Mi...Mi...Mi...Misato !

What's wrong ?

Th...the...ther
...there's a...

Oh, him ? A new kind of
hot spring penguin.

It's...

His name's Penpen.
He's another lodger.

By the way, you'd
better cover the front.

Am I being a little too playful ?
I may be the one who's transparent.

Katsuragi Misato...

She isn't a bad person.

Taking a bath is
life washing.

But, in the bath, more unpleasant things come to my mind than others.

Father and Ayanami Rei...?

How was Rei ?

You went to the hospital this afternoon, didn't you ?

She'll be able
to move in 20 days.

Meanwhile, I'll get the committee's agreement for Unit 00's restart.

What pain, they have...

There's no one else who can use Eva.
As long as they live, I let them do it.

No matter what
the children think...?

Yes. He had such a bitter experience.
I wonder if he'll pilot it again.

Maintenance of ``him'' is
your job, isn't it ?

I'm afraid I don't know how to get along with him.

Grumbling already ? You declared theatrically that you'd take charge of him, didn't you ?

Shut up !

I also regarded him as
my tool at that time.

I'm the same as Ritsuko.
Although we defeated the Angel...

...I don't feel happy.

This is an
unknown ceiling, too.

It's only natural... I don't know any place in this city.

This is your home.

Why am I here ?

Head damaged !
Damage unidentified !

Trouble keeping
it activated !

Status report !

Synchrograph has reversed.
Pulses are flowing backward !

Cut the circuits !
Stop them !

We can't. The signal is refused.
It can't be received !

What about Shinji ?

No response from the monitoring system. We can't tell if he's alive !

Unit 01 is totally silent.

Misato !

So much for this time...
Abort the operation !

Pilot's protection is top priority !
Eject the plug by force !

Impossible.
It's totally out of control.

What ?!

Eva has restarted !

No way !
It can't move !

It can't be...

Out of control.

He's won.

The AT-field...

It's no use. As long it
has the AT-field...

...Eva can't touch it.

Left arm restored.

Unbelievable...

Unit 01 is also expanding an AT-field.
It's neutralizing the phase space.

No, it's eroding it.

That AT-field
was so easily...

Self destruct ?!

The Eva...

That's Eva's...

...true potential...

The circuits
have been restored.

The system is operational.
The graph is in the normal position.

Pilot's survival confirmed.

Body Recovery Team, move it !

The pilot's recovery
is top priority.

Shinji, may I open the door ?

You did a praiseworthy thing today.
You should be proud of yourself.

Good night, Shinji.

Hang in there.
