02x04 - broken (W)ings

[bunniefuu]

- Commander, hurry!

- [breathing heavily]

[grunts]

It's too late.
I'm sorry.

- [gasps]

- Commander!

- Sadly, I, too, have
synchronized my data

to the server.

- But 9S can hack
your systems and--

- It's not a superficial
infection.

- [gasps

- I can tell that much.

[grunts]

- Now listen closely.

You two are my last soldiers.

You have a duty to survive.

- Commander.

Besides, I am still
the commander for this base.

The very least I can do
is go down with it.

Now get going!

[rumbling]
- 2B, it's collapsing!

- Wait!
- Now, go, 2B!

[engines roaring]

[booming]

[birds chirping]

- Morning.
Sunlight peeking through trees.

- By the way, 2B,

people who know me well like
to call me Nines.

I'd say you know me well enough
by now,

so feel free to do the same.

- Do what?
- Oh, you know.

Start calling me Nines instead
of 9S.

- Maybe another time.
- Oh. Okay.

- Rainy ruins.

- So then to summarize,
that means you need me,

since no one can live out
their life alone, right?

Ah, just kidding!
Forget I said anything!

But, uh, I do kinda wish
it were that way.

Oh, well.

- Cold bunker.

I'd like to thank you
for uploading our data

to the bunker at the very end.

- Last thing I remember,

I was just about to rendezvous

with the remaining ally unit.

- Oh.

- Glory to mankind.

- Glory to mankind.

- The cause I raised
my sword for...

The allies who fought
alongside me...

Everything is broken now.

But we are the YoRHa soldiers.

We exist to be broken.

- Activate stealth function.

- Affirmative.
Activating stealth function.

[whooshing]

- What are we supposed
to do now, 2B?

We have nowhere to return to.

The bunker no longer exists.

- We search for any surviving
YoRHa soldiers.

[alert blaring]

- Alert. Pursuers detected.

- What?

- Those aren't enemy signals.

Those are...

- YoRHa units.

- You're right!

They must have escaped
like we did!

- Alert. m*ssile approaching.
- [grunts]

[booming]

- Hypothesis. The YoRHa soldies
encountered were infected

by the virus.

[engines roaring]

[rapid g*nf*re]

- If we shake them while
in stealth then--

- It's no use.
They're bound to catch us.



Lend me your controls.

Oh, roger that!

- Flight controls have been
successfully transferred

to ally 2B.

- Seized flight control
for 9S's unit.

Setting automatic course.

Hold on! You can't!

stealth function.

Pod, bring us back!

- This unit is on autopilot...

- Bring us back into
the fight now!

- For 520 additional seconds.

Controls have already
been transferred

to YoRHa unit number 2 type B.

And why would you...

- 9S!

[static hissing]

- Harboring emotions
is strictly prohibited.

- [chuckles]

- What?
- You really do like

to act like you're tough,

but you're a softie inside,
aren't you?

- That is not true.

- I dunno.
I think it is.

To be more precise,
I know it is.

[chuckles]
- Why are you laughing?

- I don't really know why.

But...

For some reason,
it makes me smile.

- Why?

Why am I feeling...

So many emotions?

- We scanners usually work alone
when dealing

with preliminary scouting.

So I don't usually get a partner
to work with like this.

And it's fun!

- If, from the very beginning,

we weren't capable of harboring
emotions like this--

- It's just I wanna show you my
gratitude for everything that--

- Harboring emotions
is strictly prohibited.

- Aww, come on!

Something dear to me.

I kept breaking it.

My sin.

- When I first met her...

She seemed cold.

But...

She was actually kind.

She liked to act tough...

But she was a total softie.

To be able to work with her...

Was fun.

It made me happy.

I wanted nothing more from her
than to hear her call me Nines.

But...

Harboring emotions
is strictly prohibited.

Even then, I...

- Okay, are you ready?

- Affirmative. Go ahead.

- Ready or not,
here I come!

You think you can hide from
a scanner model like me?

Found you, Pod!

You got a ways to go
if I found you that quickly.

- Negative.

If we seriously went
into hiding,


finding us.

- Therefore, we chose to hide
in this fashion in order

to end this act quickly without
the need for initiating contact.

- All right!
Now where's 2B hiding?







You can come out now!
