ANTARCTICA, 2000 A.D.
So, this is Dr Katsuragi's Super Solenoid Theory.
This whole thing just seems so untenable!
It's just a theory
Well, the S2 "theory" is the only feasible explanation...
of the source of that monster's power.
Not to mention that it's already been proven, even if it was by accident.
We have proof of its existence.
Scientists
They always think they have all the answers.
Delusions of grandeur.
They're so caught up in their dogma,
they lose their grip on reality.
And yet they're supposed to be...
leading the rest of us on the quest for truth
How ironic. They're not so noble.
Discovery brings joy Understanding leads to control.
They're just trying to find happiness.

Is that you, Dad?
15 Years Later...
she was held by a man.
Ritsuko must think I'm pretty shameful.
Appearing to give into our sexual desires makes for...
a more realistic appearance. A good deception.
To deceive the Intelligence Department?
Or the Commander and Ritsuko?
Or me?
No, no. I meant myself.
Don't you mean the others?
You never show interest in others,
but you want their attention.
You really are just like my father.
9 Months Earlier...
he was watching the stars.
So, tomorrow I'll be in Japan.
Misato said she'll come to pick me up at noon.
I guess I won't be seeing you for a while.
How dull.
Once you get to Japan, I'm sure you'll have lots of new boyfriends.
In fact, I heard the 3rd Child is a boy.
I don't care about any stupid little kids!
My heart belongs to you, Kaji.
7 Years Earlier...
she ran into a room.
Mamma! Mamma! They chose me!
I'm an elite pilot now! I'm the best in the whole world!
I must keep this a secret, but I'll only tell you, Mamma!
Everybody's so nice to me now. I don't feel lonely anymore!
I'm okay now, even without my Papa around!
Look at me! Look at me, Mamma!
Look, Mamma!
Asuka!
Your sync ratio has dropped an entire 8 points.
Don't think about anything else. Just concentrate!
I'm trying to!
Asuka's sync ratio is going down. What does it mean, ma'am?
It means trouble.
Let's concentrate our efforts on fixing Unit 00.
Good morning, Commander. Did you bring your child today?
Oh wait, I could have sworn you had a little boy.
Oh no, this isn't Shinji.
I've decided to take care of the child of an acquaintance.
Her name is Rei Ayanami.
Hello, Rei.
5 Years Later...
she met him again.
It's no use. This is dumb. I shouldn't have come here.
Maybe I should find a shelter.
I mustn't run away.
Several Months Later...
he was forced to make a decision.
- Thank you, Shinji! - Kaoru, but why?
It is my destiny to live forever,
though my survival will destroy the human race.
However, it is possible for me to be killed,
and whether I live or die makes no difference.
Death is the only absolute freedom.
What? Kaoru!
I don't understand what you are talking about, Kaoru.
This is my final request.
Please, give me freedom.
Otherwise you will be destroyed.
Only one life form can be chosen to evade the destruction...
and seize the future.

I just moved here myself.
Hey, come in.
Uh... I don't... want to intrude.
Shinji, this is your home now.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home!
Who is she?
The only survivor of the research team.
She hasn't said a word in almost two years.
How terrible...
She saw Hell first hand.
Her physical wounds could be healed,
but repairing the psychological damage could take time.
Her name is Katsuragi...
Misato, you said?
Yup! Misato Katsuragi. Pleased to meet you!
Dear Mother,
I have just become acquainted with a girl named Katsuragi
I understand she is the sole survivor from the original research team.
She used to be mute, but now she talks so much.
It seems like she's trying to make up for lost time!
Do I want to be good?
I have to be a good girl.
Because I have no daddy.
Life just doesn't get any better than this!
Because I have to be good and not bother my mommy. Life just doesn't get any better than this!
But I don't want to become like my mom
Don't you want to eat? It's pretty good, even if it is instant.
When my father is not here, she always cries. Don't you want to eat? It's pretty good, even if it is instant.
When my father is not here, she always cries.
I'm sorry, I'm just not used to it.
I can't cry. I can't depend on anyone else. I'm sorry, I'm just not used to it.
I can't cry. I can't depend on anyone else. That's no excuse! You can't be so finicky.
Maybe my father won't hate me if I am good.
No, that's not what I... well...
But I hate my father. No, that's not what I... well...
But I hate my father.
Isn't this nice?
And I hated being a good girl. Isn't this nice?
And I hated being a good girl.
Having dinner with somebody else!
I hate it. I'm tired of it Having dinner with somebody else!
I hate it. I'm tired of it Uh, yes.
Misato used to go out with Kaji.
I don't really like her. Her life style is a little bit much.
Misato Katsuragi.
She's not a bad person.
So much has happened since I came here
Before this, I lived with my teacher.
It was calm and boring in those days.
I wasn't really doing anything.
But I was fine with that.
There was really nothing that I had to do.
I didn't have anything to live for
Did you hate people?
I didn't really care as much.
However, I really hated my father.
I wonder why Shinji agreed to pilot again.
It seems that he simply does what he's told to do.
I suppose that's just his way of getting through life.
Position target in the center, pull the switch.
I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away.
Today the fourth Angel attacked out of the blue
Unit 01 intercepted the Angel and destroyed it.
Shinji, wake up!
Shinji's Room Shinji, wake up!
Shinji's Room How long are you going to avoid school?
Unit 01 is already completely repaired.
You're the pilot! Are you going to leave it sitting there?
Shinji!
"To Misato Katsuragi"
It's been raining for the past 4 days in a row.
Work on the sample analysis has been postponed due to the weather.
Other than that, nothing else to write about.
Well, the sun finally came out for a while today.
But over all it was partly cloudy.
Nothing else to write about today.
I like it out here at night,
because those noisy cicadas don't chirp.
It was pretty quiet when I was a kid, but there are tons of them now.
Misato said that the ecosystem was returning to its former state.
Misato said so, hmm?
I really envy you.
You live with such a beautiful woman,
and you get to pilot the Evangelion.
The Eva is on standby.
Will you pilot it? Or won't you?
You're not going to scold me for running away?
Of course you're not. I'm no relation to you, am I.
If I say that I won't pilot Unit 01, what are you going to do with it?
I suppose that Rei will do it.
You won't pilot it?
It seems a little bit unrealistic for you to force everything on her.
Don't worry, I'll pilot it.
But you don't want to do it.
Of course not.
It's not something that comes to me naturally.
Ayanami and you and Ms. Ritsuko...
Stop it! This has nothing to do with any of us!
If yo don't like it, get out of here!
Just forget all about Eva and us and go back where you came from.
We don't need someone with that attitude here!
Of course, if you're leaving, we'll have to leave this city soon
But we can't blame you for that!
We saw how you suffered in the Eva
And anyway, if anyone does try to blame you,
I'll beat them up!
I'm the one who deserved to be beat up, not you!
I'm a coward! I'm dishonest.
I'm sneaky and a wimp.
Shinji, you mustn't run away.
Not from your father, and not from yourself
Shinji, are you sure about this?
I don't mind living alone, I'm alone anyway.
It's awesome! The buildings are growing!
Of course, if you're leaving, we'll have to leave this city soon
But we can't blame you for that!
We saw how you suffered in the Eva
You protected this city.
I forgot to tell you something.
You did something very good and very noble today.
You should be proud.
Goodnight, Shinji. Hang in there.
We believe that mental and physical exhaustion...
were causing a strain on the 3rd child's health.
He was given 4 days leave.
His status has returned to normal No further problems.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home!
Good morning, Ikari!

Mama...
You're just a kid yourself.
Hello, Misato! How have you been?
Just fine. Goodness, you've grown!
Uh huh! And my figure's filled out, as well.
Let me introduce you!
This is the designated pilot of Eva Unit O2, the 2nd child.
Asuka Langley Souryu.
She's arrogant...
egotistical..
Conceited..
Freaky...
self absorbed..
Twisted...
cold hearted...
schizophrenic...
saccharine..
Unsympathetic...
self centered..
Totally absurd...
and just plain annoying!
Are you afraid of other people?
I know that by keeping others at a distance,
you avoid a betrayal of your trust.
But you must endure the loneliness.
Man can never completely erase this sadness,
because all men are fundamentally alone
Pain is something that man must carry in his heart,
and since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe life is pain
What do you think about Shinji Ikari?
The Great Third Child? He's boring.
And yet his synchronization ratio was well over 40% in combat.
Sync ratio zero.
Hey, Third Child!
I can't be the Second Child anymore.
You're coming with me.
Unit O2 is red. I didn't know that.
Units 00 and 01 were the prototype and test type models.
The fact that Unit 01 synchronized with an untrained pilot like you...
is proof of that.
However, Unit O2 is a little different.
It's been built for combat.
My Unit O2 is the world's first real Evangelion!
The final production model!
What was that?
Undersea shock waves! And it sounded close.
Guten morgen, Shinji!
Guten morgen...
Why so gloomy?
You should appreciate that I'm saying good morning to you!
The other one's here too, right?
Who?
Are you stupid?
I'm talking about the First Child, of course!
Oh! Ayanami!
Hello! You must be Rei Ayanami, the pilot of the Prototype.
I'm Asuka. Asuka Langley Souryu.
I'm the pilot of Eva Unit O2. Let's be friends!
Why?
Because it would be convenient!
If I'm ordered to, I will do it.
Weird girl...
How are their coordination drills going?
As you can see...
I knew it! I could never sink down to his level!
The whole idea's impossible!
- Rei? - Yes?
Why don't you try it?
I have no reason left to live.
Nobody cares about me anymore.
I am not a doll.
Synchrograph minus 12.8.
It's barely over the starting indicator.
That's pathetic! That's a worse score than yesterday!
Asuka's not feeling well today. It's the second day of her period.
Sync ratios aren't influenced by physical changes.
The problem is deep within her sub- Conscious.
Asuka's pride has been badly damaged.
It's hard to blame her after she was defeated so badly.
What's worse is that she feels as if she was beaten by Shinji.
If you don't open your mind to her, your Eva will not move.
I'm closing my mind to it?
Yes. Eva has it's own mind.
It's a big doll.
You don't know?
You're giving me advice? Maybe tomorrow it will snow!
Are you happy that I'm having trouble with my Eva now?
When the next Angel comes,
our invincible Shinji will ride out and destroy it!
We won't have to do anything!
I thought it was bad when Shinji was nice,
but when an emotionless mechanical doll like you starts being sympathetic,
I'm doomed!
I am not a doll.
Shut up! You do anything you're ordered to, don't you!
You'd kill yourself if Commander Ikari told you to, wouldn't you?!
Of course.
Good morning.

Hey! Big shot! What are you staring at so intently?
Nothing!
Could it be... Ayanami?
No!
Looks pretty obvious to me!
Ayanami's breasts! Ayanami's thighs!
Ayanami's calves!
It's nothing like that!
Then what were you looking at?
You can't fool us, Shinji!
I was just wondering why she's always alone.
Come to think of it, she hasn't had any friends...
since she started here in the Seventh grade.
You two are both Eva pilots, right?
You ought to know her better than any of us, Shinji.
Yeah, that's right!
But we don't speak to each other.
She's a nice girl, but she's like your father.
She's not very adept.
Not adept at what?
Living
Excuse me...
Excuse me! It's me, Ikari.
Ayanami, I'm coming in.
Are these Ayanami's?
Um... I...
Oh no! I-I didn't mean...!
Please get off.
What is it?
Uh, well, I was asked to...
you know, so I...
What was it? The card! Your card! It's been, uh, renewed.
So I was asked to deliver it.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
Aren't you afraid of piloting Unit 00?
Why?
I heard that you were hurt pretty bad in an earlier experiment.
I was just wondering if you were nervous.
Aren't you Commander Ikari's son?
Don't you have faith in your father's work?
Of course not! How could I ever trust him?
Ayanami...
Pilot Ikari, I've been sent here to brief you...
on the Operation Yoshima time tables.
Pilots Ikari and Ayanami will arrive at the Cage by 17:30.
At 18:00, Unit 00 and Unit 01 will activate.
At 18:05, both Units will be deployed.
They will arrive at the temporary base at Futagoyama at 18:30.
There they will await further orders.
The operation will begin at midnight, 00:00.

I don't feel like eating anything.
We will be departing in 60 minutes.
Do I really have to pilot Eva again?
Yes, you do.
I don't want to. I don't want to go through it again!
Then you can just stay here in bed.
What do you mean?
I will pilot Eva Unit 01.

Don't say that you have nothing else and you're all alone.
Just don't say that!
And don't say goodbye like that when you leave.
It's just too sad...
Why are you crying?
I'm very sorry.
I don't know how I should act at a time like this.
Maybe you should just try smiling.

It's not a problem. I can go. If I die, I can be replaced.
Are you trying to get your self killed?!

We must finish this before SEELE has time to act.
It is not acceptable to lose Unit 02 at this time.
But you can't use the Lance of Longinus.
Without getting SEELE's approval!
You can rest today. We'll take care of everything.
But I'm feeling just fine now.
Well, that's good for you.
Rei! Evasive action!
Rei Ayanami Age 14.
The first of the test subjects chosen in accordance with the Marduke Report.
The First Child.
Designated pilot for the Evangelion Unit 00.
Her past has been eradicated
All her personal records have been erased.
Target invasion continuing!
Eva Unit O2, roll out!
Eva Unit O2, lift off.
What are you doing, Asuka? What's wrong with Unit O2?!
Her sync ratio is under 10%!
- Asuka! - It won't move.
Am I the one crying?
Rei!
I want Evangelion Unit 01 taken out of cryostasis.
Launch it immediately.
- What? - Do it!
Yes sir.
Spread your AT Field to full. Get Rei out of there now!
Right.
Ikari!
Is this my mind? To become one with Ikari?
No!
Her AT Field's been reversed!
I cannot. If I leave Unit 00, the AT Field will cease to be.
I will not let it.
Rei, are you trying to kill yourself?
12 Years Earlier...
The same weather day after day.
Somehow the disappearance of autumn...
makes this country seem more melancholy.
If the scenario described in SEELE's secret Dead Sea Scrolls is correct,
then the Third Impact will occur in a little over ten years from now.
That's why they created SEELE and Gehirn...
to stop that from happening.
I know your intentions are good, but not SEELE's.
Professor Fuyutsuki,
opening the seal in this world would be catastrophic.
Ikari is in charge of the project now,
but it takes more than one person to accomplish something like that.
What happened last time must never be repeated.
I've been sent a warning.
It seems those bastards would have no qualms over making me vanish.
You or any of the other survivors. It's so easy to erase someone.
That's why you shouldn't become the next test subject.
Everything has its place in the flow of life.
That's why I'm a member of SEELE.
For Shinji's sake.
It's been three years since we were last here.
That's when I ran away.
I haven't come back here since then.
I just don't believe that my mom is really resting here.
I don't even remember her face.
Burying memories is man's way of surviving.
But there are some things a man should never forget.
Yui taught me that. I come here to confirm that.
You don't have a picture of her.
No photographs. Nothing remains. Even this grave is an artifice.
That's like my teacher said. You threw everything away.
Everything is kept in my heart. That's good enough for me.
5 Years Earlier...
The night before she died,
my mother told me that the MAGI were the three aspects of her life:
Herself as a scientist, herself as a mother, and herself as a woman.
Those three aspects of her...
are struggling for dominance inside the MAGI.
She intentionally implanted the dilemmas that humans have.
You've always been so cool and analytical about these things.
Aren't you afraid you'll lose your chance at happiness?
First, I have to define happiness.
It's been a while since I went out.
- Have a good night. - See you later.
What are you doing here, Rei?
I got lost.
Do you want to come with me then?
No, thanks.
But how will you get back all by yourself?
That's not your business, old hag.
What?
I can find my way home by myself, old hag.
You shouldn't call someone an "old hag," Rei.
But you are an old hag, aren't you?
I'm getting mad. Commander Ikari will scold you for this.
The Commander is the one who calls you that.
He says, "That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore."
That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore.
That old hag is no use. That old hag is no use.
The Commander says that about you.
You!
Eva has reactivated!
Amazing.
This is impossible. It must be wrong!
Unit 01's sync ratio is over 400%?!
She's reawakening.
It's eating... the Angel.
The S2 engine... she's taking it into herself.
The bindings!
What bindings?
Those plates weren't just armor, they were also restraints.
Those bindings allowed us to control it,
but now the Eva is removing the web that binds it to our will.
The Eva is free at last!
Unit 01's been awakened and set free.
SEELE sure won't stay quiet for this!
Was this part of your scenario, Commander Ikari?
It has begun.
Indeed. This is the beginning!
I'm still alive.
Paging Dr. Odani in the First internal Department.
Ayanami!
I'm so glad you're safe.
My father isn't coming.
Thank you. Thank you for saving my life.
For doing what?
Ayanami, didn't you sacrifice Unit 00 to save me?
Oh. Did I save you?
Don't you remember?
I don't know.
I think I must be the third one.
Rei Ayanami!
It can't be! You mean the dummy plugs are...?
Yes. These are the cores of the dummy plugs.
It's the production lab.
These...?
These? These are empty vessels. Nothing but spare parts. Spare Reis.
Mankind found a God,
and man in his folly tried to make the god his toy.
For that arrogance, mankind was punished.
That happened 15 years ago.
And the God that man found was lost.
But man continues to attempt to resurrect the God.
And from that God, Adam,
man attempted to make a man who was like a God himself.
And that was Eva.
What? Eva's are human?!
Yes. inside the empty shell of each Eva is a human soul.
But the only vessel which can hold a soul is Rei
She was the only one who could hold a soul.
These things are empty husks.
They have no souls.
No right to live. The Chamber of Guf is empty.
You! Do you have any idea what you're doing?!
Yes, I do.
I'm destroying these THINGS with human forms!
You're late!
Sorry, sorry.

Irrelevant. It's an Angel. Destroy our enemy!
I can't! If he's alive, we've got to help him.

The pilot of Unit 03 is.. The Fourth Child is.
Toji...
Shinji. Shinji.!
Can you tell me what my father's like?
Well, there's a surprise question.
I would have thought you'd ask about Katsuragi.
It seems like you're always with my father.
Commander Fuyutsuki is the one who's always with him
Have you been asking around about your father?
I just haven't been around him much.
So, you really don't know him.
But I've learned a lot about him lately.
I've learned how he feels about his work.. about my mother.
No, you're wrong Shinji You only think you understand,
but people can't even really understand themselves,
much less each other.
Understanding 100% of anything is impossible.
That's why we spend so much time trying to understand..
Our own motivations and those of others. That's what makes life so interesting.
So you can't understand Misato, either.
The Kanji that we use for the word "she" means "a woman far away,"
and women will always seem to be on a distant shore.
The gulf that separates male and female is deeper than any ocean
What were you doing in Kyoto?
That's a souvenir from Matsushiro.
Don't try to fool me.
You'll get your fingers burned if you get too involved in this.
That's the advice of a friend.
I'd rather be burned by the heat of my passion for you.
Well, should I buy you some fireworks, then?
Kaji, do you think I've changed? Well, should I buy you some fireworks, then?
Kaji, do you think I've changed? Hello.
Kaji, do you think I've changed? You haven't changed, have you, you player?

You're even prettier. Of course I've changed. To live is to change.

I'm tired of pretending to be pure and noble. So tired of it all. One is a force for the status quo, and the other's a force for change.
I want to disgrace myself. One is a force for the status quo, and the other's a force for change.
I want to see my life and my reputation ruined. One is a force for the status quo, and the other's a force for change.
I want to see my life and my reputation ruined. A living thing is something that has both of these conflicting qualities.
Like men and women.
Katsuragi, it's me.
I'm sure you're listening to this message,
especially after I caused so much trouble.
Sorry. Please tell Ritsu I'm sorry, too
And there's one more thing to trouble you with...
I've been growing melons.
I'd appreciate it if you could water them for me
Shinji knows where they are.
Katsuragi, the truth is with you.
Don't hesitate. Move ahead.
If I can see you again,
I will say the words I could not eight years ago
Bye.
You fool. You were always such a fool.
You're a little late, aren't you?
Stop saying such moronic things, you irresponsible jerk!
Why won't you listen to me?! Kaji is gone!
Liar.
It makes me sick.
Like hell I'll bathe in water that Misato and stupid Shinji used.
Like hell I'll use a washer that Misato and stupid Shinji used
to wash their underwear.
Like hell I'll sit on a toilet that Misato and stupid Shinji used.
Like hell I'll breathe the same air as Misato and stupid Shinji.
I hate Misato! I hate Shinji!
And I hate the First Child even more!
I hate Dad! I hate Mom!
But I hate myself the most!
I hate this! I can't stand it anymore!
Why do I have to... Why me?!
Why am I crying?
I already decided I wouldn't cry anymore.
What's the matter, Asuka?
It's a present from your new mom. Don't you like it?
It's okay.
What's okay?
I'm not a child!
I'm going to grow up quickly.
I don't need stuffed animals.
I mean it! If it's with you, it's all totally okay!
Kissing and even the stuff after that!
Asuka, you're still a child.
Those things can wait until you grow up a little.
What?! That's no fun!
I'm already grown up enough!
I'm already a grownup!
A grownup! I'm already a grownup!
A grownup!
That is why, I can live by myself.
I don't need dad nor mama!
I don't need anyone!
I will never have any children!
But I don't want to be hated by anyone!
So please, Asuka-chan.
Let's die together!
Ok, I'll die with you, so please, don't stop being my mother! Hey, mama?
Mama? What? Who are you?
I'm Asuka Langley Sohryu. Nice to meet you.
What are you, stupid?
This is my chance!
So look at me!
No! This isn't me!
I'm Asuka Langley Sohryu. Nice to meet you.
What are you, stupid?
This is my chance.
So look at me.
No! This isn't me!
So please, look at me!
No! Don't make me remember these memories!
I'd forgotten about it! Don't dig it up again!
I don't need any of this bad stuff anymore!
Stop it already! Stop it!
My mind's been defiled.
Mr. Kaji, I've been defiled.
What will I do? I've been defiled.
I'm glad for you, Asuka.
Shut up! There's nothing to be glad about!
Of all the people, she had to be the one to save me!
I had to be saved by HER!
I would've rather died than be saved by her!
I hate it! I hate it! I hate everyone!
I hate everyone so much!
The song is good.
Singing brings joy and revitalizes the human soul.
I think that song is the highest achievement of the Lilin culture.
Don't you agree, Shinji Ikari?
- How do you know my name? - Everyone knows your name.
You're rather ignorant of your own status.
Really? Who are you?
I am Kaoru. Kaoru Nagisa. I am like you.
I am one of the selected children. The Fifth Child.
You're the Fifth Child? Um, Mr. Nagisa...
Call me Kaoru, Mr. Ikari.
Mr. Ikari? You can call me Shinji.
It is time!
Let us go, Adam's dark shadow, servant of the Lillin!
Eva Unit O2 just activated!
That's impossible. Where's Asuka?!
She's in Room 303! I've confirmed it!
Who the hell is piloting it?!
It's unmanned! The entry plug hasn't been inserted!
Unmanned? Then the Fifth Child isn't there?
- AT Field detected in Central Dogma! - Eva O2?
No! The pattern is blue! It's definitely an Angel!
What?!
That boy is an Angel.
The target has passed through the 4th defensive layer,
and is still descending.!
It's no good! We can't cut the power to the linear motor car!
The target has passed through the 4th defensive layer.!
Seal all shutters and bulkheads surrounding Central Dogma!
We've got to buy ourselves some more time!
Closing all bulkheads immediately
All personnel evacuate All personnel evacuate
SEELE has sent an Angel to us.
The Old Man wants to advance his schedule, using us as his tools.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Unless man accepts and atones for his sins, he will never evolve.
We won't rely on Adam and the Angels.
We must take the fate of the future into our own hands.
Unit 01 will be our instrument.
Unit O2 has penetrated the armored shutters!
Target has penetrated the second barrier, sir!
- Send Unit 01 in to pursue it. - Yes sir.
Under all circumstances the last Angel must be kept...
from entering Terminal Dogma.
But why did the Angel take Unit O2?
You don't think it's going to attempt to fuse with Unit O2, do you?
Or will it try to bring about our total destruction.
It's a lie!
I won't believe that Kaoru's an Angel! It's a lie!
It's a fact, Shinji. You must stop him. Prepare for combat.
Shinji, you are late.
Eva Unit 01 descending via Route 2.
It's about to intercept the target.
You betrayed me. You betrayed the trust I placed in you.
You betrayed me just like my father did!
Unit 01 has reached the fourth layer!
It's about to confront the target!
There he is!
I've been waiting, Shinji.
Kaoru!
Asuka, I'm sorry.
The Eva series was born from Adam.
And yet the Lilin will utilize that...
which they hate most of all in order to survive.
I do not understand.
Kaoru! Stop! Why?!
Your Evas and I are composed of the same matter.
Born from Adam, I can synchronize with it easily...
as long as there is no dominant soul,
and Unit O2's soul is now hiding itself.
An AT Field?
Yes. At least that is what you Lilin call this thing.
This is the light of my soul,
a sacred territory in which no one may intrude.
Aren't you Lilin aware that your AT Field...
is merely that wall that encloses one's mind?
I don't understand what you're talking about! Kaoru!
Both Evas have penetrated all the way down to the final layer!
20 seconds until the target intercepts Terminal Dogma.
If Unit 01's signal cuts off or disappears...
I know. I'll initiate the self-destruct.
It's better than letting Third Impact take place.
I'm sorry.
It's alright. As long as I die beside you.
Thank you.
This is mankind's fate. Human hope is paired with sorrow.
What was that?
It's another AT Field! The strongest we've ever detected!
It's shutting out everything!
Light, magnetism, sub-atomic particles!
It's blocking everything out?!
It can't sense anything!
The target, Unit 01, Unit O2, they're all gone!
We lost communication with the pilot!
Kaoru!
Wait!
Final safety penetrated!
They've reached it. Heaven's door is open.
Then the Angel has finally reached its goal.
Get ready.
What's that?!
- What's going on? - It's another AT Field!
A field as strong as the first one has appeared around Terminal Dogma.
It's breaking through the other AT Field!
What is it? Another Angel?
Negative! I can't confirm it.
It just disappeared!
Disappeared? The Angel?!
Adam. That from which we came.
Must one who was born from Adam return to Adam,
even though it will destroy man?
Wait, this isn't... Lilith?!
I see! I understand now!
Thank you, Shinji. I wanted you to take Unit O2 from me.
Otherwise, I might have lived much longer.
Kaoru... but why?
It is my destiny to live forever,
though my survival will destroy the human race.
However, it is possible for me to be killed,
and whether I live or die makes no difference.
Death is the only absolute freedom.
What are you? Kaoru.
I don't understand what you're talking about, Kaoru.
This is my final request.
Please, give me freedom.
Otherwise you will be destroyed.
Only one life form can be chosen to evade the destruction...
and seize the future.
And you are not the existence which should die.
You need the future.
Thank you, Shinji. I am happy I met you.
Sections 2 and 3 of the East Wing will close at 1800 hours
All staff must vacate the area by 1630.
Misato and Ayanami scare me.
Help me. Help me, Asuka.
Hey, wake up. Hey...
Wake up!
Hey, hey...
Asuka... Asuka... Asuka!
Help me.
Please help me.
Help me.
Help me!
Call me an idiot like you always do!
Hey!
I'm so fucked up.
All access to and from Headquarters has been restricted?
We're on First Level Alert.
That doesn't make sense. I thought Kaoru was the last Angel.
He was. All the Angels have been defeated.
If we're all safe, what are we doing on First Level Alert?
What's going to happen to NERV and the Evas?
I wish Dr. Akagi was here.
NERV will probably be disbanded.
I don't know what they're going to do with us.
All we can do is wait for the Instrumentality Project to commence.
So mankind, a race of flawed and incomplete separate entities,
has reached the end of its evolutionary potential.
The Instrumentality Project will manufacture the evolution...
of man's separate entities into a single consummate being.
And the Committee won't use NERV or Adam.
They'll use the Evas.
Just like Kaji said they would.
The time is at hand.
Without the Lance of Longinus,
we cannot use Lilith to complete the Project.
Our only hope is to proceed using Lilith's only true offspring,
Eva Unit 01.
That was not part of SEELE's original plan.
Creating the Evangelion was the pinnacle of mankind's existence.
Humanity must evolve and shape this brave new world.
That was why we created the Eva Series.
We need not cast aside our human form...
to use Evangelion as our own private Ark.
It's merely part of the process to free us all for rebirth.
The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth.
Through the sacrament of death, God, and humanity,
all living beings will be united and reborn as one.
Death creates nothing.
You deserve death.
Mankind exists because it has the will to live.
That is the will of she who chose to remain in the Eva.
So, that's what really happened during Second Impact.
They're on to me!
No, wait, something else.
It's begun.
We are under attack.
Transfer the left to the emergency communications systems!
Use satellite feed if you have to!
Correct. What's the right side status?
Negative. All outgoing network lines are being systematically cut off!
They're going after the MAGI.
Data upload from external terminals.
They're trying to hack into the MAGI, sir!
Just as I thought.
Is it coming from the MAGI 2 in Matsushiro?
No, there are 5 MAGI systems working together.
So far I've identified the MAGI from Germany, China, and the U.S.
SEELE is pooling all its resources.
Five MAGI against one. Not good odds.
The fourth firewall has been breached!
Locking the main database...
Negative! The system is being overtaken!
They've breached the next level! The backup system is inoperative!
This is bad.
If they capture the MAGI, they will be able to occupy headquarters.
Let me guess.
They need help with the MAGI'S self-defense system.
Yes. Report to the Second Command Center...
where you will be briefed by It. Ibuki.
He expects the woman he abandoned to jump when he calls.
Arrogant bastard.
A Level 2 Alert is in effect.
Status report.
Good morning Tokyo 2 launched Special Order A-801.
801?
NERV's legal protection and jurisdiction have been rescinded...
and command has been transferred to the Japanese Government
That was the only warning. They tried to take the MAGI,
but we've managed to contain the damage so far.
Ibuki here.
Dr. Akagi is currently installing additional defense programs.
Ritsuko?!
Am I doing something stupid?
The interaction between men and women is so illogical.
Isn't that right...
Mother?
Goura Ground circuit recovery 0.2%.
How much longer?
We should make it. Dr. Akagi is amazing!
Just hacking into the MAGI? Yeah, right.
I doubt they're going to let us off that easily.
The MAGI was just foreplay.
They plan to launch an all-out offensive against Headquarters...
and take the two Evas by force, don't they?
Of course. We have both Adam and Lilith.
No wonder the old men are so nervous.
External feed to the MAGI has been halted.
A Danang B-Type Defense program is in place.
External access has been cut off for the next 62 hours.
Mother. I'll see you soon.
Ikari has installed a Type 666 firewall on the MAGI'S external feed circuits.
That's very difficult to breach.
Apparently we will have to forgo acquisition of the Tokyo-3 MAGI.
I had hoped to settle this peacefully.
Launch the invasion forces immediately!
All units move out as planned.
We have lost the radar feed from sectors 8-17!
A large detachment of Special Force Units...
has invaded the outer defense perimeter!
Two more are approaching from the Gotenba sector!
After all we've been through, our final enemy is our fellow man.
All personnel go to Level One battle stations.
Battle stations?!
But they're human, not Angels!
I wish they felt the same way. But they're human, not Angels!
I wish they felt the same way.
What's happening?! Hey!
What's wrong?
Transmission from the southern hub has been...
The Daigatake tunnel has been cut off!
Fire in the West No. 5 entrance!
Hostile forces have entered Level 1!
The west side attack is a decoy!
If they're really after the Evas, they'll go after the pilots first.
- Tell Shinji to stand by in Unit 01. - Roger!
- Where's Asuka? - Still in recovery room 303.
Get her into Unit O2!
There's no way she can synchronize with Unit O2!
If they find her, they're going to kill her.
If we put her in Unit O2, at least she'll be safe.
Understood!
As soon as Asuka's in there, hide Unit O2 at the bottom of the lake.
It's not the best hiding place, but it's better than the cage.
- Where's Rei? - Unable to locate!
Pilot of Unit 00 is missing!
She will be killed. Find her, now!
Launching Unit O2 via gate number 8.
The Eva will remain underwater at a depth of 70 meters.
Prepare to deploy Unit 01. Station it in the Geofront.
We can't! Shinji isn't there!
Oh, dear god...
Full lock down has been instigated, starting at Level 2.
All non-combat personnel must evacuate via route 87 immediately. I repeat...
The No. 3 underground barricade has been destroyed!
Enemy forces have begun invading Level 2!
There's nothing we can do to hold them off.
Our defeat has become inevitable.
Professor Fuyutsuki, please see to the rest of this for me.
Yes, Commander. Give my regards to Yui.
No response from Level 2!
Contact has been lost with control room 77.
Internal monorail track 57 has been destroyed.
This is brutal! I'd rather be fighting the Angels!
Of course. We're not used to fighting human enemies.
Sever the red ones first.
Level 3 Block B has been invaded! There's no stopping them!
Enemy presence confirmed in Block F!
The Main bypass is under fire!
Seal off levels 1-3! Order a full retreat!
Release Bakelite through all passages up through section 803!
Right!
Commencing Bakelite release in section 737...
Well, that should buy us some time.
Major Katsuragi! Route 47 is completely blocked.
The third Unit is unable to advance. Shinji is cut off!
All non-combat personnel should avoid engaging the enemy.
These guys are pros,
so if you can't retreat to Central Dogma...
you're better off just surrendering.
- Take charge of things here for me. - Right.
Mt. Futagoyama has been secured.
This is harder than we thought.
We never get the easy jobs.
This is insane! The center wasn't made to withstand invading armies.
We can barely hold off terrorists.
If the JSSDF launches a full-scale attack, we're screwed.
Slowly but surely they've been cutting our defense budget.
They've probably been planning this since the very beginning.
Very possible...
Release the safety.
I can't. I just can't shoot this thing.
Of course you can! You've had basic training!
But I shot at targets, not at other human beings!
Idiot! It's kill or be killed!
Rei.
I knew I'd find you here.
The time has come. Let's go.
Level 1 has been secured. Over.
Roger that. We are moving in on the MAGl and the Level 2 Command Center.
We are currently engaged in combat.
Terminate Eva Pilots on sight.
Execution of non-combat personnel has been authorized.
Yanagihara and Shinjo units, proceed to lower level
We've located the Third Child. Commencing termination.
Sorry, kid. Nothing personal.
Nothing personal here either.
Let's get you to Unit 01. Come on.
Roger that. We have the purple unit surrounded.
The Bakelite infusion was not a problem.
Damn. They're trying to prevent contact between Shinji and Unit 01.
We're running out of time.
This is it, Shinji.
Do you want to run away or do you want to pilot the Eva?
If you sit there and do nothing, then you're already dead!
Help me, Asuka... help me.
Hiding behind the skirts of a little girl at a time like this?!
Giving up halfway is worse than never trying at all!
Get up.
Move it!
I want to die. I don't want to do anything.
Stop talking like a stubborn little brat!
Like it or not, you're still alive!
Get moving and DO something! You can die later.
Unimportant!
Securing Terminal Dogma is your top priority, understand?!
They've destroyed everything else,
why don't they just nuke us and get it over with?!
If we weren't sitting on top of the original MAGI system,
they probably would have.
They probably need it in as intact as they can get it.
I just hope they don't use BC weapons.
Things could get pretty ugly.
That or N2 mines.
Speak of the devil...
They aren't holding anything back!
They're over doing it.
Why do they want the Eva this badly?!
They plan to initiate Third Impact...
using the Eva series instead of the Angels.
15 years ago, the Second Impact was intentionally engineered by mankind,
because it was the only way to minimize the potential damage.
They had to reduce Adam to an embryonic state...
before the other Angels awoke.
You see, Shinji, mankind was spawned from a being called Lilith,
just like Adam was.
We are the 18th Angel.
The other Angels are just different possibilities of...
what we could have become.
Sadly, we can't coexist...
even though we are fundamentally the same creatures.
Listen, Shinji. You have to destroy the rest of the Eva Series.
It's the only way to stay alive.
The phone lines are all dead.
Yes, sir. Missile impact was confirmed three minutes ago.
Nagano Prefecture, Neo Tokyo 2 Yes, sir. Missile impact was confirmed three minutes ago.
Executive Office Number 3, Prime Minister's Official Residence Yes, sir. Missile impact was confirmed three minutes ago.
Executive Office Number 3, Prime Minister's Official Residence This Instrumentality Project NERV was secretly researching...
trying to initiate Third Impact and destroy all of mankind.
The whole thing makes me sick.
Humanity is probably the only creature...
capable of hating its own kind.
Well, then. I suppose all we have left to do...
is destroy NERV Headquarters.
Should Germany or China begin re-development?
No. We won't make the same mistake twice.
Make sure no one can touch it for the next 20 years, like Old Tokyo.
Surface heat has dissipated.
High pressure steam discharges have also stopped.
All detachments' positions have been confirmed
Dogma Level 3 and the purple unit are currently secured.
And the red one?
In the lake, about 70 meters down.
We don't know if the pilot is alive or dead.
I'm still alive?
I don't want to die. I don't want to die.
You're still alive..
You mustn't die yet...
You must live.
I won't let you die...
I will protect you...
You're still alive..
I won't let you die...
You mustn't die...
Please die with me!
Don't kill her..
I don't want to die. I don't want to die.
You must live.
I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!!
Mama! You've been here all along?
Mama!! Mama! You've been here all along?
Mama!!
- What is that?! - Dear God!
Mama... Mama! Now I understand!
The meaning of the AT Field!
You were always protecting me!
Always watching over me!
We were always together! Mama!
Eva Unit 02 has activated! Asuka is okay! She's alive!
Asuka?!
The cable!
Focus your fire power on that cable!
Even without my umbilical cable,
I've still got twelve thousand plates of fortified armor!
And I've got my AT Field!
There's no way I can lose!
Not to you bastards!
That loathsome Evangelion.
Once again, our plans will go unrealized.
It seems we'll have to fight fire with fire.
The Eva Series?
It's been completed?
