02x03 - Imprisoned in Campus

[bunniefuu]

Imperial Calendar year .

The colony of Japan,
now named Area ,

declared a w*r of independence against...

the suzerain state of
the Holy Britannian Empire.

This uprising,
dubbed the Black Rebellion,

ended with a second historic defeat for Japan.

One year has passed.

The t*rror1st known as Zero, presumed
dead, has again appeared in Area .

Zero, who leads the armed group
known as the Black Knights.

His true identity:

Lelouch Lamperouge, the abandoned
prince of the Britannian Empire.

Morning and night, I long for you
Asa mo yoru mo koikogarete

I'll become a star and protect you
Hoshi ni naru yo kimi mamoru

No matter where the battle may take me
Tatakai wa yukue shirazu

At the intersection of tomorrow and yesterday
Ashita to kinou no kousaten de

You and I can't be together
Majiwaranai kimi to boku

I'm a sh**ting star, on my way right now
Ima iku yo boku wa nagareboshi

Even if the world crumbles apart
Sekai ga kuchihatetemo

There are things which will never change
Kawaru koto no nai mono ga aru

Even as we bear tears in our eyes
Namida wo koraete demo

There are things we must protect
Mamorubeki mono ga bokura ni wa aru

A message that's been in my body
Nanman'nen nan'okunen mae kara no

For thousands and millions of years,
Message ga tainai de

Springs out (I have no reservations)
Uzukidasu (Mayoi wa nai)

Roars out (It's easy)
Narihibiku (Kantan da)

In a hoarse voice (Calling tomorrow)
Shagareta koe de (Asu wo yobu)

With my wounded hands (I protect you)
Kizudarake no te de (Kimi mamoru)

I continue to fight!

I continue to fight!

Morning and night, I long for you
Asa mo yoru mo koikogarete

I'll become a star and protect you
Hoshi ni naru yo kimi mamoru

No matter where the battle may take me
Tatakai wa yukue shirazu

At the intersection of tomorrow and yesterday
Ashita to kinou no kousaten de

You and I can't be together
Majiwaranai kimi to boku

I'm a sh**ting star, tearing fate apart
Sadame wo kirisaku nagareboshi

I'll take away your overflowing tears right now
Afureru kimi no namida boku ga ima ubaisaru

IMPRISONED IN CAMPUS

I once again, here and now declare the
founding of the United States of Japan!

From this moment, this room shall
be the first dominion of the U.S. J!

Race, ideology, and religion will not matter!

Being a citizen will have but one requirement!

To do that which is just!

That's why I came. To k*ll Zero.

It's my phone. Nothing more.

Rolo! Are you okay?!

Big brother?!

Thank goodness! I was worried
because I couldn't contact you.

You aren't hurt, are you?
You're someplace safe, right?

What's going on here?

Is the! Ero making the speech
right now a different person?

Big brother, where are you right now?

What are you talking about, especially since you're...

Rolo, it's me.

Ms. Villetta?!

Lelouch came back to school.
He's taking his makeup classes.

Get back here soon.

Right. Understood.

Is your call finished, kid?

It looks like all my business here is finished.

The remnants of the Black Knights
and the person claiming to be Zero...

are currently hiding in a section of
the Chinese Federation consulate.

However, there is no need for concern.

Acting Viceroy Guilford has taken command of the
army in place of the wounded Viceroy Calares...

and has the consulate completely surrounded.

We've been assured that the
settlement is in no danger.

You've really got the town jumping, Lelouch.

Naturally.

A new nation has just been
created in their own territory.

Not to mention it also just declared w*r on them.

What?

When did you switch places with him?!

Before the speech.

But!

His voice was recorded. The moment "he"
appeared, it was already someone else.

Just like in a magic show, right?

We don't like things like that
being kept secret from us!

"We" don't like it? You mean
"I don't like it," don't you?

Lelouch, oven!

Sure thing.

Salt.

Frying pan.

Egg.

Bechemel sauce.

Put the gelato on another plate.
Oh, and add the rosemary to the sorbet.

Then add the dill seed to the sauerkraut.
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte needs...

I can't handle all that myself!

Why do you just ask me to do all this?!

I had no choice. Rivalz has no sense
of taste, and that leaves us with...

With someone who's all thumbs.
I understand perfectly.

Ooh, good. Nice and obedient.

Characters like you are usually shown
not having any skills to make a living.

But he even keeps a
household account book.

How did you know that?!

Oh, jeez, you really do?!

Want a towel?

I'll get it myself!

Miss President, may I ask you something?

Sure, although I may not answer you.

Today we're having a party to celebrate
me and Rolo getting back alive, correct?

Uh-huh! You both made it back from
that t*rror1st att*ck in one piece!

Poor Shirley was practically going out of her mind!

"Oh! If Lulu is dead, I'll!"

Speaking of which, where is Rolo, anyway?

I spoke with him, but... You know, he's a
lot more sensitive than his big brother.

That's part of why he doesn't
have any friends, isn't it?

You should just say that he's quiet!

Um, not that I mind you hanging on to me, but...

Oh. Sorry.

Nobody remembers anything about Nunnally.

No, my little sister Nunnally has been
replaced by a phony little brother.

I wasn't the only one whose memory was rewritten.

Everyone in the student council
has been toyed with as well!

How dare they!

Even after the Babel Tower incident, Lelouch
Lamperouge has shown no special changes.

There are hidden cameras on campus.

As well as undercover observers.

observers.

We've found no evidence linking Lelouch
with the destruction of Carthage unit.

The surveillance is perfect.

He has no chance to use his Geass.

If he is Zero, it would be odd
of him to return to this school.

So, ultimately, where is C. C?

If she isn't in contact with Lelouch, then...

The odds are low that she'd be in the consulate.

In other words,
we haven't made any progress.

We still don't know where she is?

We in the Office of Secret Intelligence will
continue the operation to capture C. C!

Everyone, continue to observe
the bait, as we were before.

Yes, My Lord!

The enemy's center is where their
surveillance data is transmitted.

I can just keep acting the way I have
been. The problem is Nunnally.

The fact that all memory of Nunnally
has been removed from everyone...

tells me that Nunnally would
never show up at this school.

In short, the probability is high that the
Britannian emperor has Nunnally now.

I'm dealing with a man who'd
use his own children as tools.

If they learn I've regained my memories...

That I've gone back to being
! ero, Nunnally will be in danger!

I have to move very carefully.

I'll trick the people they have
spying on me. And then...

Lelouch?

Make sure you come to class tomorrow.

I hear you.

Do you have so little faith in me?

Villetta Nu. A woman I once used my Geass on.

I can use my Geass on a person only once.

Which means it won't work on her anymore.

That leaves my little brother
who shouldn't even exist.

Why don't I begin by gently subduing him?

German state forces on the right
flank are taking the offensive!

The Italian state forces are holding
out well on the right flank, too.

The Bordeaux we drink tonight
will be a victorious fine vintage!

Unknown, approaching from above!

What?!

Lancelot!

The White Death of Britannia!

The Rounds have come to the front line?!

Please surrender.

You have no chance of winning.

I won't sh**t anyone who lays down his w*apon.

Of all the impertinent!

Destroy him! It's just one knight!

So be it.

Want more?!

Are you sure about this? Letting
him conduct a solo operation?

Kururugi was originally your
subordinate, Your Highness.

He's now the Knight of Seven and
reports directly to His Majesty.

But...

His promotion is something
to be happy about, isn't it?

The world as it is overflowing with sadness.

That's why he uses his self-consciousness
and sense of duty as guideposts.

Nina's gone, too. I wonder if
Suzaku took Arthur with him.

What's up? Why are you looking through the album?

That's the student council
marathon dance file, isn't it?

The Prez runs us ragged with all
these events she likes to put on.

Oh, that's the Broken Heart Contest.

Sad, isn't it? How the Prez presented
Rivalz with the trophy after he won.

Funny, how you managed to escape.

You heard the news, didn't you?

The m*llitary had Babel Tower
completely surrounded.

How'd you make it past them?

What are you talking about, Rolo?

Don't you mean you want to know
how I got away from the t*rrorists?

There was an emergency passageway.

I tried calling you, but my cell phone
wasn't working in that situation.

I see...

That's right... I gave him that locket for his birthday.

No, that's wrong.

That day... October th is Nunnally's birthday!

Rolo, that locket...

When you think about it, a locket isn't something
you give to a guy. I'll get you something else...

Don't take this! You gave it to me!

That makes it mine, so!

Uh... R- Right. Okay then, Rolo.

Right, there's been no observed
change in Lelouch's behavior.

There are no indications that he's used his Geass.

I don't know the details of Geass.
It's a religious matter, so...

I can see you're talking. It can wait...

Rolo, no! He's on the same mission we are, so...

...wait for orders from the higher-ups!

There's a chance he heard us.

Knowledge of Geass is restricted
to only us two in the Tokyo section!

But, still... How many of our
agents have you k*lled so far?

It was the fastest and most certain method
to keeping the secret. Or am I wrong?

Its been three days since the United
States of Japan was established.

I doubt Brtiannia is just going
to keep glaring at us forever.

There's even talk of recalling the consul general
back in the Chinese Federation homeland.

Even so, we haven't received
any instructions from Lelouch.

What on earth is he doing?

You really are! Ero, aren't you?

Of course!

I'll drag out the extradition
negotiations with the Britannians.

I may be able to buy us up to a week.

I'll relay that to Zero. Now, as to the
Chinese Federation government's...

C. C! Why is that? Wouldn't it have made more
sense for you to have played the bunny girl?!

Zero is... a girl?!

Yes.

I'm not Zero!

You let on too soon! You have
no sense of fun, do you?

Don't play around with Zero!

We can see you.

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Kallen Kouzuki.

You're the pilot of the Guren Mk-II, aren't you?

How?

I have an interest in you people.

Trouble! It's Ohgi and the others!

Can you hear me,! Ero?

I am Lord Gilbert G.P. Guilford, knight of
her royal highness Cornelia li Britannia!

Starting tomorrow at : hours,

all of these special class A felons
guilty of rebellion against the homeland...

Guys...

will be ex*cuted for their crimes!

! ero! If you value
the lives of your people,

then you will face me
in a fair and honorable duel!

Guilford... You've really gone and done it now.

Oh? Lulu, are you alone?

Yeah. Don't you have swim club, Shirley?

Well, about that... I need to buy a birthday present.

Birthday?

For our advisor, Ms. Villetta.

Everyone says I should get it since
I always make her mad at me.

The thing is, I'm terrible at picking out presents.

I suppose I should buy her some
liquor. She seems to like it.

But what brand should I get?

Shall I come along?

To help pick out the present.

Y- You would? Seriously?!

You were about to go, right?

Y- Yeah! Yeah!

Thanks for the scoop, guys!

This is for protection from your Geass,
now that you can't turn it off.

Since it only has to block optical information,
an ordinary color contact lens should be fine.

Stop trying to probe me for information.

As you guess, that lens is special.

However, if your Geass grows
stronger than it is now, then...

Then we'll just have to finish
this game. Before that happens.

You're going out?

I'm helping to pick out a present.
It's Ms. Villetta's birthday.

Birthday? I see.

Birthdays are important, aren't they?

Well, I'd better get going.

See you later.

Rolo!

Miss President!

Rolo, you come, too! For communication!

Hm... I don't have any firsthand
knowledge about this.

That can't be helped, can it? How about this stuff?

That's supposed to be a fine wine, but it
might be too sweet. How about a Sopron?

A date... Is this a date?

Maybe it is... Fine, I'll make it one, then!

Just as I expected, although I didn't expect
them to bring Rolo, too. Typical Prez...

This'll make for a great presentation at the
Society for Research on Male-Female Dating.

R-Right...

Even so, you sure you want
to follow your own brother?

Rolo's interested too, isn't he?

She may end up joining the family, after all!

Yeah, that's right!

Family...

Target is taking assumed route "Zebra."

Right, switch off with group .

Group , be on guard for contact with C.C.

Yes, My Lord. Cleaning the perimeter.

Is he really not! Ero?

They specifically set a trap at Babel Tower.

Which means my enemy isn't the
settlement's viceregal government.

While I can't tell for
certain who's watching me,

the system itself that
they're using has flaws in it.

If he is! Ero, he wouldn't just ignore
the execution of his people tomorrow.

Maybe he really hasn't gotten his memory back.

Excuse me.
How do I fill out this bit here?

Pardon?

I'm sorry, but could you do me a favor?

Sure. What is it?

Well, it's like this...

Sorry for the wait.

What were you looking at?

Oh! Um, uh... That!

I- I was just wishing I could
take a ride on a cable car once.

It's my fault.

My fault that Shirley's memories were wiped.

The Prez and Rivalz, too! Their memories
rewritten without their consent!

I can't just let things go on like this.

When this is all over,
I swear I'll make it up to you.

What's the matter?

The Prez and the others are following us.

No way!

Shirley.

I've got a great idea.

Target entering shop. Alpha- , a small shop.

There's a risk of my cover being blown in there.

Cover the front. I'll send three
people to cover the rear.

Could you act like I'm in here for a while?

What's going on?

I'm going to sneak out of the store
and surprise the Prez and the others.

Sure! Gotcha!

This isn't a shop I normally use.

It shouldn't have any observation
cameras or listening devices.

Shirley thinks this is just a harmless prank.

Even on the off-chance that something goes wrong,

I won't cause any trouble for her.

I've made my preparations using my Geass.
All that's left now is...

Hello, Omotesando Mall security.

What? The Black Knights?!

If you do not meet the following demands,

we will detonate a b*mb we have planted there.

No... He can't be! Ero!

Mr. Maximillian from the Hakodate settlement.

Mr. Maximillian from the Hakodate settlement.

That's!

A terror warning!

It must be the Black Knights!

Zero's returned!

Keep your voices down! The customers will hear!

But!

There's been a b*mb thr*at
made to Omotesando Mall!

Hold your positions! Prepare for contact from C. C!

All conditions have been cleared.
All that's left is the ignition switch.

Ten...

Nine...

Eight...

Seven...

Six...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

The Black Knights!

t*rrorists?!

What's going on?!

Oh, hell!

What the hell?!

Rolo!

Don't run off!

Rolo?

Not here?!

We've lost the target!

What about that
report from Scorpion?!

Where's Rolo?!

All cell phones are being
jammed to maintain public order!

Lt. Colonel! Does the report
from Scorpion have top priority?

I'm going there myself!

And that is how you cause a panic.

What's my brother's location?!

Nobody's here?

They've gone looking for C. C...

So, you have awakened, after all.

I made the man following me my sl*ve
and put him under my absolute control.

As I thought, your top priority is the capture of C. C...

No matter how wrong the information you get is.

Starting now, this gilded cage of a school
will become my castle of freedom.

And as for you...

I'll make you my pawn to find Nunnally.

What?!

Geass?!

You stopped time?!

Lelouch... Now you and your devilish eye...

will die.

Zero! Emergency!

The Chinese Federation just suddenly...

Here and now, the Black Knights will be destroyed!

Someday let's try to pick up and rebuild
Mune no naka itsuka hirotta

The fragments of happiness in our hearts
Shiawase no kakera atsumete miyou

That nearly forgotten melody
Wasurekaketeita melody

Stay vivid, deep inside of me
Iroasezu boku no man'naka ni

I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Arigatou kokoro kara

Everything I have now, I owe to everyone
Boku ni ima ga aru no wa minna no okagesa

I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Arigatou kokoro kara

Next I'll send happiness to everyone
Tsugi wa boku ga minna ni happy okuru yo

I won't forget anything
Nanimokamo wasurenai yo

Because I'm still the same as I was that day
Ano hi no boku mo boku dakara

You need me to keep on saying
Daisuki da yo'tte itsumo

How much I love you
Itte agenakya dame da ne

On those long nights, your tears about to overflow
Namida ga kobore sou na nagai yoru wa

Just turn around
Futto furikaette

Follow those footprints
Ashiato wo tadorun'da

So that you'll never forget that day
Ano hi wo wasurenai you ni

The members Guilford is about to
execute are the core of the Black Knights!

The people I need to carry out my plan!

Somehow, I have to save them.

But right now, my phony little
brother Rolo is the problem.

They've deployed a
Geass-user to watch me.

Their plan makes sense.
But that power of his...

No, there's a breach I can exploit.

For the sake of everyone whose
memories were rewritten, I have to!

COUNTERATTACK AT THE GALLOWS
