-----------------
ECTA 64: This is Ecta 64 calling Neopan 400.
Confirm cumulonimbus clouds in your immediate flight path.
Neopan 400: This is Neopan 400. Cumulonimbus clouds confirmed.
Barometer indicates no hazard.
We'll maintain course, expect arrive on schedule.
Ecta 64: This is Ecta 64, roger and out.
-------------------
Shinji: Uhm, where is Asuka?
Misato: She's gone already. She is trying to avoid me.
Shinji: Why?
Misato: Shin-chan, it seems women's hearts are still hard for
you to understand.
Shinji &Misato: Uhm... By the way,
Misato: Go ahead.
Shinji: Is the rumor that Unit 4 was lost true?
I heard there was an accident and Unit 4 was blown up.
Misato:It's true. Unit 4 is gone, along with Nerv 2nd Branch. It was
during the test of the S2 Engine.
We'll be OK here. All three units are working fine.
Both the pilots and the staff are excellent, too.
Shinji: But I heard Unit 3 is coming from the US... The activation test will
take place at Matsushiro, right?
Misato: Mmmm, I'll leave the house for about 4days, but don't worry since
Kaji will take care of you guys.
Shinji: But how about the test?
Misato: Ritsuko will be there too, so there won't be any trouble.
Shinji: But what about the pilot?
Misato: Well, about the pilot...
Doorbell
Shinji: Huh? Coming!
Kensuke: Good morning, madam. Today, I came here to make a request to
you, Major Katsuragi.
Please make me the pilot for Evangelion Unit 3.
Misato: What?
------------------
EPISODE 18: THE JUDGMENT OF LIFE
------------------
Ritsuko: So, Shinji doesn't know about it yet?
Misato: I just can't find a chance to tell him. I'm worried; I can't
figure out what he's thinking.
Ritsuko: Come on, you're the one who wanted to be his guardian.
Misato: Yea, I know... So, when will the pilot be called?
Ritsuko: It's gonna be tomorrow, since there are still
preparations to be made.
Misato: The pilot may tell him about it by himself.
Ritsuko: That's impossible. He wasn't happy enough to brag about it.
The condition he made was to transfer his little sister to the
headquarters' medical unit.
------------------
Kensuke: Misato is cold, really. Since I'm most willing, why don't they use
me, even as a back up.
Touji: Huh? Oh yea.
Shinji: What's up? You left home much earlier than me but you're pretty
late.
Touji: Oh, no marital quarrel today?
Asuka: I just didn't want to see your faces! You Three Stooges!
------------------
Kensuke: Now for lunch. Huh? Where's Touji?
Shinji: I don't see him anywhere.
Kensuke: Gone? Without eating lunch? HIM? That's impossible.
Shinji: Yes, he's been acting strange lately.
------------------
Rei: Suzuhara-kun,
Touji: Huh? Oh, it's you, Ayanami. If you're looking for Shinji, he
isn't here.
You know about me. Souryu seems to know about it, too.
Rei: Yes.
Touji: Shinji is the only one who doesn't know.
It's really rare of you to worry about someone else.
Rei: I am? I don't really understand.
Touji: You're worried about Shinji.
Rei: Really? May be that's true.
Touji: Yup.
------------------
Asuka: Hikari! Let's eat lunch.
------------------
Misato: Late for two hours; at last, he arrives.
He's the first guy to make me wait this long.
Ritsuko:When you were dating, you would leave without waiting, right?
------------------
Teacher: Therefore, it was the incident generally known as Second Impact.
I was living at Nebukawa at the time, but now, it is under the sea
because Antarctica's ice was melted and sea level has risen...
------------------
Touji: I'm sorry, transfer student. I have to hit you. I have to hit you
or I won't be satisfied.
------------------
Hikari: I'm sorry, Asuka. You always walk home with Ikari.
Asuka: Don't worry, I'm with Shinji as a duty, and I'm not in the mood to see
his face now.
It's about Suzuhara, right?
Hikari: Yes. Can you tell?
Asuka: It's so easy to see it. Only those Three Stooges can't see it.
Hikari: But Ikari-kun seems naive.
Asuka: That one is the dullest. Also an idiot. He doesn't know how to
get along with other people.
Hikari: Really.
Ayanami-san might be the girl Suzuhara likes.
Asuka: Suzuhara likes that honors student?
Hikari: They were getting along well at lunch time.
Asuka: That girl knows how to get along with people about a ten thousandth as
well as Shinji.
Hikari: Really?
Asuka: Really!
May I ask a question?
Hikari: What?
Asuka: What do you see in that hot headed idiot?
Hikari: He's so kind...
Asuka: What?
------------------
Woman(On TV): Oh, making up with you then was the mistake!
Man(On TV): Don't tell me that now...
Shinji: Well...
Asuka: Mr.Kaji takes long baths.
Shinji: Who will pilot Unit 3?
Asuka: What? You haven't heard about it yet?
Shinji: Who?
Asuka: ...I don't know.
Ryouji: That was a good hot bath. Huh? Bickering again? I can't believe it.
Are you two are like this whenever Katsuragi is gone?
Asuka: No! I want to smile pretty since you are staying with me tonight.
But not today. I can't do it!
Ryouji: I understand. Let's sleep. Hitting the sack is the best solution
in a situation like this.
------------------
Shinji: Are you asleep already, Mr.Kaji?
Ryouji: No, not yet.
Shinji: What kind of person is my father?
Ryouji: Well, that question is a surprise. I thought you were going to
talk about Katsuragi.
Shinji: It seems you're always with him.
Ryouji: The deputy commander is the one with him all the time.
Are you asking around about your father?
Shinji: I haven't been with him for a long time...
Ryouji: So, you don't know.
Shinji: But I have learned many things about my father recently. About his
job, about my mother. So,...
Ryouji: That's wrong. You just think you understood. Well, that's why
people try to know each other. That's why life is interesting.
Shinji: Does that fit with your relationship with Misato, too?
Ryouji: Kanojo("she", girlfriend in Japanese) in Kanji means a woman far way.
For us, women exist on the shore across. It means there is a river
wider and deeper than the ocean between men and women.
Shinji: I can't understand grown-ups.
------------------
Female Operator: Unit 3 activation test: T minus 30minutes.

Misato: Oh, good for you.
Ritsuko:You don't sound that eager. When this unit is delivered, it will
be under your direct command.
Misato: Exclusive possession of four EVAs... If we wanted to, we
could destroy the world.
Ritsuko: Did you talk to Shinji?
Misato: After this test.
Female Operator: Fourth Children has arrived. Squad 2, begin entry
preparations immediately.
------------------
Hikari: He hasn't come yet, Asuka.
Asuka: He may not come today.
Hikari: I thought he would eat with me today. Do you want to have this?
------------------
Kensuke:Unit 3 should be in Japan already, right?
Shinji: Yes. I think it arrived yesterday.
Kensuke: I'm so jealous. Who's gonna pilot it? Touji, maybe? He's absent
today.
Shinji: No way.

EPISODE:18
AMBIVALENCE
------------------
Shigeru: Accident involving an explosion at Matsushiro.
Female: Status unknown.
Fuyutsuki: Send rescue and the 3rd corp. Take care of everything before
the Self Defense Force comes.
Makoto: Roger.
Shigeru: Unidentified moving object detected at the site.
Makoto: Pattern orange, cannot be confirmed as an Angel.
Gendou: Class One combat alert.
Shigeru: Class One combat alert for all personal.
Makoto: Prepare for ground combat.
Maya: All EVAs to be deployed, and to take positions at the
counter attack point.
Male Operator: Air transportation is scheduled to start in 20.
------------------
Shinji: An accident at Matsushiro? No... What about Misato?
Rei: The can't get contact yet.
Shinji: Oh, no. What should I do?
Asuka: What are you whining about? We can't do anything but worry now.
Shinji: But we have to fight the Angel on our own...
Rei: Commander Ikari is taking direct command for now.
Shinji: My father is...?
------------------
Shigeru: We've got a visual from Nobeyama. Visual on the main screen.
All: aaaah...
Fuyutsuki: Just as we thought.
Gendou: Transmit the termination signal. Execute forced ejection of the
entry plug.
Maya: Impossible. It doesn't recognize either the termination signal or
the plug ejection code.
Gendou: How about the pilot?
Makoto: We have his respiration and pulse, however...
Gendou: From this time, Evangelion Unit 3 is abandoned, and the target is
recognized as the 13th angel.
Makoto: B, But, sir.
Gendou: Develop the front at Nobeyama as planned, and destroy the target.
------------------
Shigeru:The target is approaching.
Makoto: All units, stand by for ground battle.
Shinji: What? No way... an Angel? You mean that's an Angel?
Gendou: Yes. It's the target.
Shinji: The target? It's an EVA, isn't it?
Asuka: I can't believe it. Was it taken over by an Angel?
Shinji: Is it piloted by a kid, just like the other units? A child my
age?
Asuka: Don't you know yet? In Unit 3,...
Shinji: Asuka?
Asuka: Yeeeeee!
Shinji: Asuka!
------------------
Makoto: Eva Unit 2 was silenced completely.
Maya: Pilot has ejected. Salvage crew is on the way.
Shigeru:The target is moving toward Unit Zero.
Gendou: Rei, avoid close combat, and stop the target. I'll send Unit 1 soon.
Rei: Roger.
------------------
Rei: He is inside...
Ack!
Ulk, ugrrrrr.
Maya: The Angel is invading the left arm of Unit Zero. The synapses are being
invaded.
Gendou: Cut off the left arm. Hurry.
Maya: But we have to sever the neural connection.
Gendou: Cut off the left arm.
Maya: Yes, sir.
Rei: Yeeeeeee!
Maya: Mid-level damage to Unit Zero, and the pilot has been injured.
Shinji: No...
Gendou: The target is approaching. You will contact it within 20. You
will take care of it.
Shinji: You say it's the target,
but isn't there a person inside?
A kid my age.
An entry plug. There is a person inside of it.
Grrrrrrr.
Makoto: Trouble with life support.
Maya: The pilot is in danger.
Fuyutsuki: Damn it. Cut the synchronization to 60%.
Gendou:Wait.
Fuyutsuki: But if you maintain this condition, the pilot will die.
Gendou: Shiji, why don't you fight?
Shinji: But there's a person inside, father.
Gendou: It doesn't matter. It's an Angel. Our Enemy.
Shinji: But I can't do it. I have to save him. I can't kill a person.
Gendou: You will die.
Shinji: I don't care. It's much better than killing someone.
Gendou: Go ahead and cut the synchronization between the pilot and Unit 1
completely.
Maya: Cut it, sir?
Gendou: Yes. Switch the circuit to the dummy plug.
Maya: But sir, the dummy system still has many problems, and without
Akagi's direction...
Gendou: It will work better than the current pilot. Do it.
Maya: Yes, sir.
Shiji: What? What are you doing, father?!
Makoto: Signal reception confirmed.
Maya: Control system has switched.
Male Operator: All nerves are now connected to the dummy system.
Female Operator: 32.8% of the emotional factor is unclear. Unable to monitor.
Gendou: It doesn't matter. Release the system. Commence the attack.
All: Aaah...
Maya: Is this the power of the dummy plug?
Female Operator: All systems are normal.
Male Operator: More increase in gain.
Maya: Ah!
Shinji: Stop it! Father, no! Please stop doing this!
Damn! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Aa! Stop it! NOOOO!
Shigeru: E, Eva Unit 3.. no... the target was completely silenced.
------------------
Hikari: (Humming)
This looks good. Kodama, Nozomi, and me. Lunch for four. Will he
eat with me tomorrow?
------------------
Rescuer male: Over here! A survivor! BQR, get the medics, hurry!
Male: Yes, the recorder's graphs... (Unable to hear) Get rid of it.
Misato: Alive...
Kaji....?
Ryouji: You were lucky, Katsuragi.
Misato: How about Ritsuko?
Ryouji: Don't worry.
She's in better shape than you.
Misato: Ah-ha. How about EVA Unit 3?
Ryouji: It was destroyed as an Angel by Unit 1.
Misato: I, I still haven't told anything to Shiji.
------------------
Misato: Shinji...
Shinji: Misato, you're OK.
Misato: I, I'm sorry. I had to tell you something important, but...
Shinji: Misato, I've...a person... My father... I begged him not to...
Misato: Shinji, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Maya: Report from the entry plug salvage crew: Survival of
the pilot confirmed.
Shinji: He's alive?!
Male 1: Roger. Cut the deformed part with a laser.
Male 2: Send exchanged LCL sample to (unable to hear), top priority.
Female 2: Destroy the adhering biological parts. Prepare for heat
sterilization
Misato: The pilot of Unit 3 is,
The 4th Children is
Shiji: Touji?
Misato: Shiji? Shinji? Shinji? Shinji? Shinji?
Shinji: UWAAAAAAAA!
To be continued

On the next episode
At last, Shinji gets off of EVA of his own free will. However, without any
concern for him, the invasion of the most powerful Angel causes another
tragedy.

Evangelion Episode 19
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Avant Title
Maya: The interlocking circuit has been cut.
Kouzou: How about the ejection signal?
Maya: It's locked from the plug side.
It's not being received.
Makoto: But, Shinji-kun, if we hadn't done that,
you'd have been finished!
Shinji: That's not my concern.
Makoto: But it's also a fact.
Shinji: Don't make me more angry by saying such things!
Unit one has 185 seconds left.
That's enough to destroy at least half of Headquarters.
Shigeru: He, in his current condition, would do it.
Maya: Shinji-kun, listen to us.
Without Commander Ikari's decision,
everyone could have been killed.
Shinji: I'm saying that's not my concern!
My father ... that man was going to kill Touji,
using my hands.
-------------------------------------------------------
Episode: 19
A Man's Fight
-------------------------------------------------------
Shinji: Father, you're there, aren't you?
Say something; answer me!
Gendou: Raise the LCL pressure to the limit.
Maya: Huh!?
Gendou: We don't have time to waste on an impossible child.
Shinji: I still have a direct connect....
ug, ghuahah, ahg,
damn, damn, d... damn...
--
Male voice 1: The dissolving process for the right breast has been completed.
Female voice: We'll start the cleansing of bodily fluids from
three-O, on schedule.
Male voice 2: Unit Six is going to be heat-processed.
Operators in the area, evacuate now.
Ritsuko: have you recovered already?
Misato: I'm able to work without any problems.
I can't just rest in this state of emergency.
What happened to Shinji-kun?
Ritsuko: I heard that they cut the emergency hatch open
with a laser cutter, and he has been removed by force.
Misato: This is bad. This time...
--
Asuka: ...it may be all over for him.
That idiot won't recover from this, I guess.
Rei: How's Ikari-kun?
Asuka: He hasn't been injured, so he'll come around soon.
He'd be dreaming now.
Rei: Dreaming?
Asuka: Yeah, don't you dream?
--
Touji: Shinji,
why is Shinji lying on the bed by me?
I wonder where I am.
Is it my sister's hospital?
-- Touji's "dream" --
Touji: Oh, isn't that Shinji and Ayanami?
Rei: Ikari-kun, why did you do that?
Shinji: I couldn't forgive my father, who betrayed me.
Even though I finally had a nice talk with him,
my father doesn't understand my feelings at all.
Rei: Did you try to understand ... your father's feelings?
Shinji: I did.
Rei: Why don't you try?
Shinji: I said "I did"!
Rei: You're running away from disagreeable things.
Shinji: Isn't it all right?
What's wrong with running away from disagreeable things?
Touji: What are those two arguing about...?
-- back to reality --
Nurse: You have special permission to visit him, for
five minutes only.
Hikari: Yes ma'am, thank you very much.
Touji: Oh , the Class Rep., ain't it?
Hikari: Suzuhara, are you OK?
Touji: Looks like I'm alive.
Somehow, I felt that Shinji was here. I wonder if it was a dream.
Hikari: I heard that Ikari-kun left the hospital yesterday.
You were sleeping for three days, Suzuhara.
Touji: Was I? For as long as three days?
Class Rep, you ...
Hikari: ah! I came here on official duty as the Class Rep.
Nothing but that.
Touji: Ah, I know.
Hikari: (No, you don't.)
Touji: I apologize... that I couldn't eat your lunch.
Hikari: Don't worry about things like that.
But I'm sorry,
they say I can't let you have a lunch here.
Touji: Class Rep.
Hikari: What?
Touji: Can I ask you one favor?
Hikari: Uh huh.
Touji: Why don't you tell my sister that there's nothing serious
wrong with me?
Hikari: Uh huh.
--
NERV worker: Get out, Mr. Shinji Ikari.
The General Commander wants to see you.
Gendou: Disobeying orders. Personal occupation of an EVA.
Crude intimidation. These are all criminal acts.
Do you have anything you want to say?
Shinji: Yes. I don't want to pilot EVA any more.
I don't want to stay here either.
Gendou: Well then, leave.
Shinji: I will. I'll go back to my Teacher's place.
Gendou: Are you running again?
You disappoint me.
I assume we won't meet again.
Shinji: I intend that we won't.
--
Gendou: It's me.
The Third Child-REN is to be erased.
Set Rei as the primary pilot of Unit One and
the dummy plug as a backup.
--
Kensuke: Are you listening, Shinji?
Is it true that you're leaving?
It's true, isn't it?
But why?
Why are you running now?
I admired you.
I envied you. You are different from us.
Damn, while even Touji can pilot EVA, I...
Female voice: This line has been monitored.
For security reasons, we have terminated the call.
Thank you for your cooperation.
--
Shinji: I assume Asuka won't come. She won't have anything to say to me.
Misato: No, she didn't even say "take care" to you.
Shinji: That's just like her.
I'm relieved.
Misato: It's hard to keep saying those pleasant things.
Shinji: That's your way of life, Misato-san.
I can't follow you.
Misato: I think you know, but there will be a fair number of restrictions
on your behavior.
Shinji: I know. Um....
Misato: What?
Shinji: Tell me one thing;
Why was it Touji... the Fourth Child-REN...?
Misato: The fourth level candidates are all your classmates.
I just learned that recently, too.
It was all contrived.
Shinji: Everyone, everyone in the class...
Misato: As for Suzuhara-kun',
it's not a mistake to be mended by apologizing with words.
But Shinji-kun, to be honest, I was projecting my dreams,
hopes and purpose onto you.
I know it's been a burden for you.
But we, everyone at Nerv, had no choice but to trust our
future to you.
Just remember that, please.
Shinji: It's a selfish cause, isn't it?
Misato: I know that.
I'll leave your pass-code to headquarters and your room
as they are.
Shinji: There's no point.
Please get rid of them.
I won't pilot EVA any more.
Misato: (He's speaking positively [with his own voice].
It's the first time I've heard something like this from him.)
--
Announce: Right now, an emergency was announced around the Tokai region.
Residents should evacuate to the designated shelters as soon
as possible. To repeat. Right now, ....

EPISODE: 19
INTROJECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operator: All personal, level one battle alert.
Prepare for surface-to-air counter measures.
Kouzou: Target status?
Shigeru: Currently approaching.
The Komagatake defense line has been broken.
Operator: From First to Eighteenth Armor, damaged.
Makoto: It broke through 18 special armor plates at once!
Misato: We can't make it in time for ground level defense by EVA.
Misato: Position Unit Two in the Geofront,
on the edge of Headquarters facilities.
Asuka will snipe at the target at the instant it invades the
Geofront!
Unit Zero status?
Maya: It's been placed in the AT-field Neutralization Zone.
Ritsuko: The left arm hasn't been regenerated.
Misato: Then, it can't be used in combat...
Gendou: Send Rei out in Unit One.
Misato: Hmm?
Gendou: Prepare a dummy plug as backup.
Misato: Yes sir.
--
????: Start entry.
Maya: LCL injected.
Ritsuko: Begin A10 nerve connection.
Rei: Ug!
(It's not going to work any more.)
Operator: Pulses reversed.
Maya: Unit One is refusing the neural connection.
Ritsuko: I can't believe it.
Kouzou: Ikari...
Gendou: Yes, it's refusing me.
Gendou: Interrupt the start-up.
Let Rei make a sortie in Unit Zero.
Restart Unit One with the dummy plug.
Misato: But Unit Zero is....
Rei: I don't mind. I'll go.
Misato: Rei!?
Rei: Even if I die, there will be a replacement.
--
Shinji: (I have decided not to pilot any more...)
A Man: Hey you, what are you doing?
Evacuate to the shelter, hurry!
--
Shigeru: No use.
One more hit will break through all the armor.
Misato: I'm counting on you, Asuka.
--
Asuka: Here it comes.
Even though that Shinji is gone,
this'll be a cinch for just me.
Asuka: Damn you....!
Asuka: Shit... Next!
Asuka: The AT field should have been neutralized.
Why doesn't it collapse?
Asuka: I can't lose any more!
Asuka: Huh? No way!
Asuka: Kugh, huhg...
Damn SOB!
Misato: Asuka!
Cut all the neural connections. Hurry!
-- flashback --
Asuka: An evacuation exercise?
What are you, an idiot?
That has nothing to do with us pilots.
--
Shinji: Huhhgh!
Announce: Direct hit to the eighth sector.
Shinji: Huuhh.
Announce: Abandon the sixth shelter.
Survivors, hurry to the third shelter!
--
Shigeru: Unit Two wrecked. Not able to fight.
Misato: And Asuka?
Makoto: She's safe ... alive!
Asuka: Kwuh, hh,..hhg, .... shit...
Shigeru: The Angel has started moving.
Misato: Unit One status?
Female operator: Dummy plug loading complete.
Female operator: Probe insertion complete.
Ritsuko: Start the contact.
Maya: Roger.
Ritsuko: What is it?
Maya: Pulses are disappearing.
It refuses the dummy.
It's failed. EVA Unit One isn't starting.
Ritsuko: The dummy, Rei...
Kouzou: ... is refused.
Gendou: Fuyutsuki, I'll leave this to you for a while.
--
A Man: The injured to the sixth block.
A Man: The non-injured, hurry to the third center!
--
A Man: This way!
A Man: Quickly!
A Man: Hurry up!
A Man: Hurry!
A Man: Hey you! What are you doing? Do you want to die?
Shinji: Asuka...
Ryouji: Shinji-kun?
Shinji: Kaji-san.
What are you doing in a place like this?
Ryouji: That's my line. What are you doing, Shinji-kun?
Shinji: I, I won't pilot EVA any more. Since I decided that...
Ryouji: Uh-huh?
Since my part-time job has gone public,
I lost my position in the battle shift.
Since then, I've been watering here.
Shinji: At a time like this?
Ryouji: Because it's a time like this.
Though I'd rather be in Katusragi's breasts,
I'd like to be here when I die.
Shinji: Die?
Ryouji: Right.
They say that when an Angel comes into contact with Adam,
which is sleeping underground here, all humanity will be
annihilated. That will be Third Impact.
It can only be stopped by Evangelion, which has the same power
as an Angel.
Shinji: Ayanami! Without a rifle!
Rei: uhg!
Ritsuko: Does she want to blow herself up?
Gendou: Rei!
Rei: AT field, full power!
Shinji: Ugh, guhh.
Makoto: Huh, Unit Zero!
Misato: Rei!
Ritsuko: What has she done....?
Shinji: Hh, Huhh...
Ryouji: Shinji-kun, I can do nothing but water here.
But for you, I bet there is something which YOU can do and
only you can do.
Nobody is forcing you.
Think for yourself and decide by yourself ...
what you should do now.
Well, I hope you have you no regrets.
Male operator: Direct hit to the third foundation.
Makoto: Final armor plate fused.
Misato: It's no good. The main shaft is exposed.
Ritsuko: Isn't Unit One ready yet?
Male operator: Dummy plug refused.
Male operator: It failed. No response.
Gendou: Carry on. Once more, try it again from one-zero-eight.
Shinji: Let me pilot it!
Please, let me pilot Unit One!
Father...
Gendou: Why are you here?
Shinji: Ngh, I, I am the pilot of Evangelion Unit One, Ikari Shinji!
--
Shigeru: The target has entered the main shaft!
It's descending.
Misato: What is its destination?
Makoto: Advancing directly to Central Dogma.
Misato: It's coming here.
All personnel, evacuate. Quickly!
Makoto: All personnel evacuate.
Repeat; all personnel evacuate.
Misato: Damn....
Misato: EVA Unit One! Shinji-kun!
Shinji: Misato-san!
Misato: No. 5, launch immediately!
Shinji: The power ran out!?
Maya: It's Unit One's operating limit.
The backup doesn't work, either.
Misato: Shinji-kun.
Misato: Shinji-kun!
Shinji: Move, move, move. Move, please move.
There's no point if you don't move now!
Ahg!
Misato: That's ...?
Shinji: Move, move, move,
move, move, move, move, move, move, move,
move, move, please move!
If you don't move now, if I don't do it now,
everyone's going to die!
I couldn't stand that any more.
So, please move!
Maya: E, Eva restarted.
Misato: Incredible....
Maya: Impossible, I can't believe it.
The synchro-rate of Unit One is over 400 %.
Ritsuko: That means *she* has awakened.
Misato: It's eating the Angel...
Ritsuko: She's taking the S2 engine into herself?
-
Maya: Gag...
Ritsuko: The binding ...
Makoto: Binding?
Ritsuko: Yes, it's not armor.
It's a restraint so we can control EVA's intrinsic power.
She is now dissolving the spell with her own power.
It is impossible for us to stop EVA any more.
Ryouji: The awakening and liberation of Unit One.
Seele won't overlook it.
Is this also in your scenario, Commander Ikari?
Kouzou: It's begun, hasn't it?
Gendou: Yes, everything begins now.

*Eva-01 roars.
---
Misato: It's eating the Angel...
---
Ritsuko: The bindings are being broken. We can't stop
Eva any more.
---
Ryoji: The awakening and liberation of Eva unit 1. Seele won't
overlook this.
---
Committee A: An S2 organ, which can't be produced in the Eva series.
Committee B: I never imagined that it could ingest one.
Committee C: This accident is very different from the scenario
we of Seele had developed.
Committee D: This cannot be adjusted easily.
Committee A: IKARI Gendo. I'm afraid that we are at fault for
giving him NERV.
Kiel: But, he was the only one who could achieve all our goals.
Ikari, what are you thinking?
---
Kozo: It has begun.
Gendo: Yes, everything begins here.

THE FIRST DAY
---
Maya: The Evas' damages are beyond the Henflick limit.
Ritsuko: It may be a long time before everything returns to
normal.
Maya: Fortunately, the MAGI system can be transplanted. We can begin to
work tomorrow, maybe.
Ritsuko: But this place seems to be useless.
Shigeru: The decision to abandon it is only a matter of time now.
Ritsuko: Well. For the time being, we can only use the reserve Control
Center-02.
Maya: Without MAGI?
Ritsuko: Yes. We'll return to work this morning after brushing the
dust off.
Maya: It's too cramped around the chairs and the sensors don't
operate smoothly. It's hard to work there.
Shigeru: The layout is the same as the usual Control Center-01.
Maya: It feels wrong, somehow.
Ritsuko: For now, it's better than not having anything. It's Unit One
which has been proved to be used.
---
Misato: It has been bound in the cage. Is it safe?
Makoto: Neither heat, electrons, electromagnetic waves nor any
chemical energy are detected within it. The S2 organ is completely
inactive.
Misato: Nevertheless, Unit One moved on its own three times.
---
Misato: Only with the visible situations, we can't decide how we
should do with it.
Makoto: If we do something careless, there is no saying what it
might do. It's the same as Katsuragi-san... I'm sorry.
---
Kiel: But it isn't only a question of Eva-01.
Committee C: That's right. Serious damage to Unit Zero and Unit Two.
Headquarters partially destroyed. Central Dogma exposed.
The damage was terrible.
Committee A: I can't estimate how much money and time we lost.
Committee B: It was because a bell wasn't attached to Ikari's neck.
Committee D: A bell was attached but it didn't ring.
Kiel: A bell which doesn't ring has no meaning. We'll make it work
next time.
---
Ryoji: Oh dear! These developments were unexpected, weren't they? For
the Committee... er, Seele, how will you explain?
Kozo: Unit One wasn't under our control. This was an accident.
Gendo: So, Unit One is frozen. Until further orders from the Committee.
Ryoji: That's a good deal. But, your son has been taken into it,
you know.
---
Maya: It's hopeless, after all. The signal for ejecting the entry
plug isn't accepted.
Ritsuko: How about the backup and the dummy signal?
Maya: They are also rejected. Even the direct circuit is
disconnected.
Makoto: The video circuit is connected. I'll transfer it to the main
monitor.
All: Aahhhh!
Misato: What is this?
Ritsuko: This is the true nature of 400% synchronization.
Misato: I can't believe it! What the hell happened to
Shinji-kun?
Ritsuko: He has been taken into Eva-01.
Misato: What do you mean? What is Eva?!
Ritsuko: That which was created by humans in the human image.
I can't say it in any other way.
Misato: Created by humans? You only copied what you found in
Antarctica back then. The original? I don't understand.
Ritsuko: It isn't just a copy. A human will is within it.
Misato: Do you mean that this was because of some one's will?
Ritsuko: Or Eva's.
Misato: Do something! You created it, didn't you? Take
responsibility!
---
THE SECOND DAY
---
Radio: ... as for the problem of
Rei: I'm still alive...
---
Asuka: I know that girl is OK! Misato, don't call me for such a
trivial reason!
Asuka: I couldn't do anything... I was outdone by that stupid Shinji...
I can't stand it!
---
THE THIRD DAY
---
Misato: How is the salvaging project for Shinji-kun?
Ritsuko: Well, what might be called Shinji-kun's life still exists.
Misato: Will life be respected this time?
Ritsuko: Losing Shinji-kun is out of the question now.
Misato: I don't know. What Nerv wants isn't his life, but Unit One as
their tool.
Ritsuko: I don't deny it.
Maya: Shinji-kun's body is supposed to be drifting in the entry plug
in a quantum form, because it lost its ego-border.
Misato: You mean that Shinji has become something which we
can't identify visibly?
Maya: Exactly. The LCL ingredients in the plug changed chemically
are now similar to the sea water of the primitive earth.
Misato: Primordial soup...
Ritsuko: All of the materials which formed Shinji-kun are still in the
plug. What could be called his soul exits there, too. In fact, his ego
image gives pseudosubstance to his plugsuit.
Maya: Salvaging means reconstructing his body and fixing his soul
into it.
Misato: Is that possible?
Ritsuko: With Magi's support.
Misato: You're talking about the theory, aren't you? Nobody knows
what will happen without trying.
---
THE FOURTH DAY
---
Shinji: What's this? Where am I? Entryplug of Unit One? No one is
here. I'm not. What's this? What's this? What's this? I don't
know. These people. Yes. The people who I know, the people who
know me. I see. They are all my world. What's this? I don't
know it, even though this is my world. An image from outside. An
unpleasant image. I see. An enemy. ENEMY, ENEMY, ENEMY, ENEMY.
Our enemies called Angels which have angelic names. The targets of
Eva and Nerv. Revenge for Misato's father. Why am I fighting?
I do it even though it leads to such bitter experiences.
---
Asuka: Are you an idiot? Unknown enemies are coming and attacking
us, you know. Of course we have to deal with a lot of unexpected
difficulties.
---
Shinji: I don't need a reason? I shouldn't think about it? ENEMY,
ENEMY, ENEMY, ENEMY, EVERYONE IS AN ENEMY! Something
threatening me, us. That's an ENEMY. Definitely. Nobody will think badly
of me if I protect my own life, our lives! ENEMY, ENEMY, ENEMY, ENEMY. My
ENEMY! My ENEMY!! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You hurt Toji and
killed Mother! Father. Uhhhhhh!
---
Rei: Why do you hate your father?
Shinji: Of course I do. A father like him.
Rei: Can't you understand your father?
Shinji: Of course not, because I have hardly ever see him.
Rei: Is that the reason why you hate him?
Shinji: Yes. Father didn't need me. Father deserted me.
Rei: Am I his substitute?
Shinji: Definitely. That must be it! I was deserted because he
had Ayanami.
Chibi-Rei: As if you didn't run away of your own accord.
Shinji: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! It's all father's fault!
I was going to tell him that I hated him, then.
---
Shinji: Are you telling me to get into this and experience
terrible things, Father?
Gendo: Yes.
Shinji: What! I won't. What are you saying now?! Father, can't you
need me?
Gendo: I called you out of necessity.
Shinji: Why me?
Gendo: Because other humans can't.
Shinji: I can't. I can't do that. I've never seen it or heard
about it before.
---
Shinji: No. I knew about it. I remember. I knew about Eva.
And then I ran away from Father and Mother.

THE THIRTIETH DAY
---
Operator A: At present, the temperature is being maintained at 36.
Male Operator: Electromagnetic radiation pulse is normal. Wave
pattern is B.
Female Operator: All instrumentation functioning normally.
---
Maya: Creating the outline of the salvage project in just one month. Only
Senpai could do it.
Ritsuko: What a shame that I didn't create the original plan. These are
data which came from experiments done 10 years ago.
Maya: Did such an accident happen during the development of Eva?
Ritsuko: There was an accident before I joined Nerv. I heard that my
mother was there. I know about it only from the data.
Maya: What was the result?
Ritsuko: They failed, I heard.
---
THE THIRTY-FIRST DAY
---
Shinji: Comfortable. Warm. This is human warmth, isn't this? I've
never known it.
---
Rei: What is loneliness?
Shinji: I've never known it. But I seem to know it now.
Rei: What is happiness?
Shinji: I've never known it. But I seem to know it now.
Rei: Are others kind to you?
Shinji: Yes.
Rei: Why?
---
Shinji: It's because I'm a pilot of Eva. They are kind to me because
I get into Eva. It's the reason why I can stay here. It's all that
supports me. So I must get into Eva.
Rei: Get into.
Shinji: Enemy. Yes, I must fight against the ones which everyone
calls the Enemy.
Rei: Fight.
Shinji: I must win. Yes, I mustn't lose. I must get into Eva as they
say, and I must win as they say. Otherwise, nobody, nobody, nobody
...
---
Misato: Do your best.
Misato: Hang in there!
Asuka: What are you doing?! Do it right!
Toji: Go for it!
Kensuke: Good luck!
Gendo: Well done, Shinji.
---
Shinji: Misato-san, Ritsuko-san, Asuka, Toji, Kensuke and Father
praise me. They praise me because I get into Eva. The guys like
me. Everyone tells me to get into it. Father does. I'll show him
what I can do.
---
Misato: Do your best.
---
Shinji: I'm doing my best. I am. Please be kind to me. I've been
fighting so much. I'm fighting as well as I can. Take care of me,
please. Be kind to me!
---
Misato: I'll be kind to you. Well, Shinji-kun. Do you want to become one
with me? Do you want us to become one in body and soul?
It feels so wonderful. I'm ready. I'm always ready.
Asuka: Hey, stupid Shinji. Do you want to become one with me? Do you
want us to become one in body and soul? It feels so wonderful.
I'm asking you. Come on!
Rei: Ikari-kun. Do you want to become one with me? Do you want us to
become one in body and soul? It feels so wonderful.
Ikari-kun.
Misato: Do you want to become one with me?
Asuka: Do you want us to become one in body and soul?
Rei: It feels so wonderful.
Misato: Come on, now. Relax. Make your mind free.
---
Female Operator: All search needles have been inserted.
Male Operator: Electromagnetic wave pattern is fixed at 0, -3.
---
Maya: Ego-border pulse has been connected.
Ritsuko: Roger. Begin salvage operation.
Makoto: Roger. Signal-1 is sent.
Shigeru: Eva received the signal.
Maya: Now, signal-2 and signal-3 are sent.
Male Operator: XXXXX , condition normal.
Female Operator: Destrude isn't detected. (Wadakun: 'Destrude' isn't
true)
Ritsuko: Roger. Move the target to stage-2.
Misato: Shinji-kun.
---
Shinji: Ah.
Asuka: Stupid Shinji!
Shinji: Ah.
Ritsuko: Shinji-kun.
Shinji: Uh.
Toji: Hey, Shinji.
Shinji: Ah.
Kensuke: Hi Shinji.
Shinji: Ah.
Rei: Ikari-kun.
Misato: Shinji-kun.
Asuka: Stupid Shinji!
Ritsuko: Shinji-kun.
Toji: Hey, Shinji.
Kensuke: Hi Shinji.
Rei: Ikari-kun.
Misato: Shinji-kun.
Asuka: Stupid Shinji!
Ritsuko: Shinji-kun.
Toji: Hey, Shinji.
Kensuke: Hi Shinji.
Rei: Ikari-kun.
Misato: Shinji-kun.
Asuka: Stupid Shinji!
Ritsuko: Shinji-kun.
---
Maya: No good. His ego border is in a fixed loop.
Ritsuko: Try to radiate all wave patterns from all directions.
Ritsuko: No. The radiated signals are captured in Klein space.
Misato: What do you mean?
Ritsuko: I mean... failure.
Misato: What?
Ritsuko: Stop the interference. Reverse the tangent graph. Set the
addition value to 0.
Maya: Yes.
Shigeru: In Q area, Destrude reaction is detected. Pattern is sepia.
Makoto: Some changes detected in the core pulse. Plus 3 is
confirmed.
Female Operator: The water temperature is getting higher. 36, 38, 41,
58,76, 97, 106...
Ritsuko: Maintaining the present condition is the top priority
issue. Prevent flow-back.
Male Operator: The internal approaching work. Over the predicted
value. It's going into the danger zone.
Maya: Yes. Plus 0,5, 0,8. It's strange. I can't stop it.
Ritsuko: What does it mean? Don't you want to come back, Shinji-kun?
---
Shinji: I can't get it. I can't get it. I, I ...
Misato: What do you want?
Asuka: What do you want?
Rei: What do you want?
Yui: What do you want?
---
Maya: Eva rejected the signal.
Shigeru: His ego formation in the LCL is breaking up.
Makoto: Pressure is increasing in the plug.
Ritsuko: Stop all operations. Cut the power supply.
Maya: No good. The plug has activated.
Misato: Shinji-kun!
---
Shinji: Ah!
Shinji: This place?
---
Shinji': In Eva.
Shinji: In Eva? I've gotten into Eva again, haven't I? Why?
---
Misato: You won't get into Eva any more?
Shinji: I decided that I'd never get into Eva again?
Misato: Nevertheless, you did. Into Eva-01.
Shinji: Ah!
---
Misato: Shinji-kun, you are here because you got into Eva. Because
you got into Eva, you became what you are. You can't deny that,
the fact that you got into Eva, nor what you were, in your past life.
Shinji: I, I ...
---
Misato: (wailing) What good is science if it can't save even one
person. Give back Shinji-kun! Give him back...
---
Shinji: Smell. I smell someone. Misato-san? Ayanami? No, it doesn't
smell like them. I know. It smells like Mother.
---
Gendo: It is a pity that this child will live after Second Impact,
in this Hell.
Yui: Well. If he wants to live, anywhere becomes Heaven. Because if
he really lives, he will find the chance for happiness anywhere.
Gendo: I see. You may be right.
---
Shinji: Mother.
---
Yui: Have you decided?
Gendo: I'll name it Shinji if it's a boy, Rei if it's a girl.
Yui: Shinji, Rei.
---
Shinji: Mother.
---
Misato: (wailing) Shinji-kun!
---
THE THIRTY-THIRD DAY
---
Ritsuko: Repairs on Unit One will be finished the day after
tomorrow.
Misato: Finally, human beings wield even God's power as a tool.
Ritsuko: I don't know. The committee is also discussing plans to
freeze it
Misato: The artificial human, Evangelion. Although it was created by
humans, don't you think the black box is too large?
Well, I'm satisfied because Shinji-kun was saved in the end.
Ritsuko: It was beyond my ability. It was thanks to you, perhaps. Well,
how about having a drink, we haven't in a long time?
Misato: I'm sorry. Well, today ... you know.
Ritsuko: I see.
---
Misato: Bye.
Ritsuko: After she finds out that Shinji-kun is safe, she has a secret
meeting with a man. I shouldn't talk, I suppose.
---
Misato: I'm sure that Ritsuko despises me as indecent woman now.
Ryoji: Those who are hooked on sexual desires are more real as
humans. We may deceive them a little.
Misato: Our intelligence agency? Commander Ikari or Ritsuko? Or me?
Ryoji: No, me.
Misato: Others ... am I right? You aren't interested in others but you
feel lonely. You're really like my father.
Ryoji: Cigarette. You still smoke?
Misato: I smoke only after things like this. So, only you know about it.
Ryoji: I feel honored.
Misato: By the way,??????
Ryoji: Did you come to see me because you want to know that?
Misato: Yeah, that's one of the reasons. I'm honest, don't you think?
Ryoji: The honor would be entirely mine, if a lady would make a
cat's-paw of me.
Misato: Right now, it's important that I let you know my wishes. What
is the true goal of Nerv and Commander Ikari?
Ryoji: I want to know that myself.
Misato: Wait, don't dodge my questions by doing that. Ah, no, don't put
weird things in. What are you doing, at a time like this?
Ryoji: Here's a present, for the first time in eight years.
Misato: Wha?
Ryoji: It might be the last one.
