02x14 - Geass Hunt

[bunniefuu]

Right now, nobody yet knows.

About all the many desires and heaving
emotions within the young Britannian Lelouch...

aside from the
expectations he has.

In that case, there is another
enemy Lelouch must confront.

However, this enemy...
This enemy he must face...

is the sinful nature
of humanity itself.

Hope and atonement.
Freedom and isolation.

However, the mass known
as the world...

keeps on flowing despite
the wishes of individuals.

At the end of the world
Sekai no owari de

The light that's born
Umareta hikari

Now blows in the wind
Ima kaze no naka

Pretty words alone won't sustain you
Kireigoto dake jaa ikirenai

Kindness alone won't heal you
Yasashisa dake jaa iyasenai

What is it that was stolen from you
Ubawareta nowa nanda

In this unchanging world
Kawaranai sekai de

What is it that you hear
Kikoetekita nowa nanda

A song of color
Shikisai no uta

Everything is bright

Let our crumbled dreams resound
Kudakechitta yume wo

At the edge of tomorrow
Asu no hate ni hibikaseru you ni

At the end of the world
Sekai no owari de

The light that's born
Umareta hikari

Becomes one with us
Bokura hitotsu ni

Now blows in the wind
Ima kaze no naka

GEASS HUNT

Charles, have you learned
anything by becoming emperor?

That all people do is lie, big brother.

That this nation of Britannia never changes.

But even saying that,
it's human nature, isn't it?

You may be right.

You won't forget, will you, Charles?
Our contract?

I know.
To k*ll God and smash this world of lies...

That was a close call, big brother.
Shirley regained her memory.

She had a g*n
and was coming after you.

I see...
You were the one who k*lled her.

Right. I have to eliminate
your enemies, big brother.

Rolo...

What, big brother?

You did well.

If it hadn't been for you,
everyone would know my secret.

Well, after all, it isn't just
your secret anymore, big brother.

True. So, shall we destroy
the Geass Order now?

We'll att*ck them by
surprise with the Black Knights...

and destroy the source
of Geass once and for all.

Big brother, we can't.
The Order still has Geass users there.

If we just keep running away,
tomorrow will never come.

Besides, this is for our happiness.

Our?

V.V. Has begun
to suspect you as well.

Are you afraid of V. V?

After all, he was
the one who found me.

Still... Big brother,
should I believe you?

Of course. We're the only
brothers we have, aren't we?

Are you going to k*ll me?
Or control me with your Geass?

Like Euphy?

To prove your sister's innocence,
you abandoned your position and the m*llitary.

That's wonderful.

I've been thinking.

Is there any more wonderful relationship
in this world than that of siblings?

Multiple organ failure due to
g*nsh*t wounds and loss of blood.

Shirley... You're saying she sh*t herself?

Yes. On a sudden impulse.

Shirley committed su1c1de?

So... Any sign of Lelouch?

I see. A friend of yours.

Holy Britannian Empire

Yeah. Milly contacted me about it.

Yeah. Milly contacted me about it.

Were you close?

I'm not sure...
She was always so cheerful.

To be honest,
she sort of bugged me.

Maybe because
you were jealous of her?

Maybe... Maybe that was it.
That was it...

I never thought
I would cry over her!

Nina...

There's nothing wrong
with shedding a few tears.

For heaven's sake, Lelouch.
Who does he think I am?

For heaven's sake, Lelouch.
Who does he think I am?

Just leaving me behind
like I'm some kind of messenger.

What?!

Hardly. I'm just worrying
that he's forgotten our contract.

Anyway, what are you planning to do?
How long are you...

C.C.

I've been able to locate the Order
with Jeremiah and Rolo's assistance.

We're going to send in Zero
Squad and wipe it out in one blow.

Wipe it out?
Weren't you going to use it?

They're not an armed group.
They just do Geass research...

We're wiping them out!

What happened?

To the very end, the power of
Geass made sport with Shirley.

Shirley was k*lled by Geass!

And so now you're going to wipe out the Order?

As atonement? So that the
same tragedy isn't repeated?

If this truly is the power of the king,
then I'm the only one who needs to have it!

Not only Rolo!
I'll erase the power called Geass,

its sins, and its very existence
from this world!

I owe Shirley that much, at least!

Then are you going to erase me, as well?

I couldn't even if I wanted to,
you eternally young immortal witch!

V.V. Is just as eternally young
and immortal, you know.

Neutralizing his activities is good enough.

There's always the method
Clovis once used on you.

Besides, I want to confirm whether
you're cooperating with me or not.

You were once director
of the Order, after all.

That was a long time ago. And I was
just window dressing. Nothing like V.V.

However...

We've been accomplices, haven't we?

There's no room for
sympathy on this mission.

I'm prepared to see
this through to the end.

Then there's one other thing I'd like to be sure of.
The details of our contract.

What is it you want?

That has nothing to do with the mission,
does it? I've no intention of telling you now.

Hmpf! Selfish woman!

Exactly. That's what makes me C.C.

Bartley and the others are one thing,
but what do we do about Princess Cornelia?

Shouldn't we at least
contact His Majesty?

Hm...

I wonder if Charles knew about
Cornelia's actions. Or if he didn't...

What?

Director V.V., we have a scheduled
report from Lord Jeremiah.

Right. Patch it through.

How do you do?

So, you're V. V?

Lelouch!

How can he have access to
Jeremiah's communication network?!

Where's the signal originating from?

Area , from inside Ashford Academy, I think.

I'm sure I need no introduction at this point.

That said, there's something
I'd like to ask you.

Was it you who kidnapped Nunnally
during the battle for Tokyo?

Did you put Suzaku and I and the
others on Kamine Island to observe us?

Yes, that's correct.

But the fact you're asking that question means
you've regained your memories, doesn't it?

Yes, I am Zero.

Then C.C. Must be with you, correct?
Will you hand her over?

We'll let you go free if you do.

It's too late for that!
I'm already at w*r with you people!

Oh?

However, by the time you get here,
we'll already have moved to another place-

Director V. V! Knightmares!

What?!

I think it's the Black Knights!

V.V.'s current location has been verified.

All forces, encircle point alpha- !

I see. So, that's how it is.

Yes. I'm glad you gave me a bit of your time.

I just needed you to let down
your guard for a moment.

Making you think I was still in Area made
you think you still had time to escape.

V.V., the one who shall
render judgment here is I!

Load our research data into the Eject Dart.
And prep the w*apon for my use.

Wha?! Director,
you're facing them personally?

I need to buy you time to escape.

Besides, I have to
discipline Marianne's child.

I never would have guessed.

That you were a princess, Nunnally.

Forgive me for lying to you.

Same from me.

It's so nostalgic,
talking about Ashford Academy.

They told me I wasn't
to see Milly and the others,

so Suzaku is the only one
I've been able to talk to.

They also tell me that my big
brother is nowhere to be found.

What sort of brother
was Lelouch to you?

I used to have
a big brother, too, so...

I'm happy. Just to be able
to talk about him...

Excuse me.

Viceroy Nunnally, I'd like to
borrow prisoner - - from you.

Sub-commander Kinoshita,
something's wrong here!

Is this really a Britannian
m*llitary installation?

Y-You're right.
There hasn't been any resistance at all.

Everyone here is completely unarmed!

No one here is to be
considered innocent!

But!

Britannia has been colluding with
traitors in the Chinese Federation.

They're doing research and
experimentation on immortal soldiers here!

I will not allow these abominations to live!

The researchers and their data are to be wiped out!

We don't know where they have
their experimental subjects hidden!

Therefore, encircle point alpha- !

Destroy everything!
Burn it to the ground!

Any possible experimental subjects found are
all to be sealed inside the high pressure case!

I will verify them myself!

Haven't you found Princess Cornelia yet?!

We have to use this chance to save...

That man...
Wasn't he working with Clovis?

Lady C. C!

You've come back to us!

Please save us, Lady C. C!

Prince Clovis...

The eternally young and immortal woman
you wished to present to His Majesty...

It would seem he already
knew of her existence.

P- Please forgive me...

We should never have
involved ourselves with her...

Yes, Zero said he's gone to att*ck
a Britannian research facility.

However, he's kept the
location and mission a secret.

More clandestine activities?

Now that the Saudis
have been subjugated,

we have to hurry up and
ratify the united states charter.

More and more nations are
falling to the Britannian menace.

However, Poland and Italy
are now on our side.

Contact us as soon as Zero returns.

Understood.

This is what Zero wants, right?

Right. We have to maintain secrecy
around Zero's activities and his existence.

Then I want you to go after
Deputy Commander Ohgi.

He's been acting strangely since
the meeting a few days ago.

No... He's been hiding something
for a long time before that.

Area KANAZAWA AIRPORT

Area KANAZAWA AIRPORT
Hm... Flights to the Chinese
Federation right now are...

Area KANAZAWA AIRPORT
I belong to the Office of Secret Intelligence.

I belong to the Office of Secret Intelligence.

The... The one that reports directly to His Majesty?!

Right. I believe you have special
flights for diplomatic purposes.

I understand.

Now that Lelouch has even
roped Jeremiah into this...

For Zero's sake, if the deputy commander
is collaborating with the enemy, then...

I must k*ll Kaname Ohgi!

What are children doing here?

Wh-What the?!

My... My hand!

M- Mori, what are you?!

No! It's not me!

Wha? Geass?

That power means it's...

Brother Rolo?

Yeah. Have you been well?

New guy... Your name's Rolo, right?
You're one of them?

I have nothing to do with them now.

Not as long as I can be
with my big brother.

Once he corners V.V., I just have to
detonate the b*mb I planted in Rolo's unit.

My funeral offering to Shirley will
be Rolo's life! He will atone for it!

What?!

The Siegfried!

Impossible!

Jeremiah! Isn't that unit?!

Right. Since it works via direct
electrical nerve connection,

the only person besides me who can use it is!

I thought so!

You surprise me, V. V!

The observer becomes
the perpetrator!

I sort of liked you, Lelouch.

Because you remind me of Charles.

He's using the Siegfried of all things, here?!

Get out of here!
It's you he's after!

Oh?

Hold it right there, V. V!

Please, just surrender.

What do you think you're saying?
Traitors!

V.V., I'll tear you out of that thing!

All forces, commence att*ck!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Dammit! That electromagnetic
shielding's holding up well!

Marianne's son may be getting carried away!

That machine was made
to let me show my loyalty!

Jeremiah, I thought you hated Zero.

I did! I thought he'd denied
me the ability to do my duty.

But when I learned who he was,
I saw I should serve him, for Lady Marianne's sake!

Even you!
You dare speak that name in front of me?!

Send out all remaining units!

It looks like that monster outside
is being piloted by their director.

Shirley?!

The medical examiner
ruled it a su1c1de.

She'd never do that.
Suzaku, you know that, don't you?!

Yeah, I do. Which means
if someone m*rder*d her...

Right. It was Lelouch.

Rolo! Can you grab onto
the Siegfried somehow?

But I can't use my Geass on V.V.

You just have to grab onto him.
I have a plan after you do that.

Okay, I'll try.

Rolo...
I'll finish you off with the Siegfried.

With the b*mb I planted on the Vincent!

I have to try!
For big brother's sake!

And now it's Rolo.
You've lied to me too, haven't you?

Even knowing your
Geass won't work on me...

Ah!

Director V.V.,
we've finished preparations to escape.

Shall we head to
the E.U. Area for now?

Right. I'll rendezvous with you
after I've finished things here.

It's clear how to capture C.C. Now.

If we escape, then Charles and I win.

I just have to grab on!

You're a failed project, aren't you?

After all, your heart stops
when you use your Geass.

You're a defective experiment
we expected to die at any moment!

Not yet!
If I jettison them, then!

Oh?

I've done it, big brother!

Well done, Rolo!
Now I must bid you farewell.

Who? Who could know to att*ck
the Siegfrieg's weak point?

So, your name is V. V?

By thinking I was helpless,
you underestimated me!

Forgive me, Big Brother!

No, don't worry about it.

I never expected Cornelia to be here!

The Siegfried's shields are down!
Now, we just need to hit it directly!

For Euphy's vengeance,
you shall perish here!

The source...

...of Geass itself!
...of Geass itself!

It... It's no use!
The Siegfried is finished!

Lelouch! You accursed prince!

Your Highness!

The Siegfried!

Director V. V!

Calm down!
Director V.V. Cannot be k*lled.

He can always use the
Twilight Gate on the lowest level.

If we just get the research data
away from here, then...

Is that?!

Lady C. C!

Forgive me. This is my sin
for having neglected you all.

And so now I shall end
the lineage of Geass here.

Perhaps...
This is the way Lelouch and I...

All of the evidence and testimony
show Lelouch to be innocent.

But in my heart, I've known that Lelouch
was the the culprit, that he was Zero.

I don't know Zero's true identity.
I told you that when I was captured.

Enough of that!

There's no method left I won't use to
prevent any more of these tragedies!

That's why I'm going
to use this Refrain...

The target has fled into the facility!

I'll look for him, starting on the lowest
level! Rolo, search from the highest!

Kinoshita! Take command and
sweep the middle level areas!

Lelouch... How dare you!

I'm glad you came, Charles.

In the end, siblings are all
you can count on, huh?

Big brother, is it true you were the one
who sent the assassin after Lelouch?

And thanks to that,
I've paid a price.

Still, I learned that Lelouch is Zero.

He's even tricked Nunnally as well.

You lied to me again, big brother.

This is as bad as anything
the Britannians do!

Was it really necessary
to k*ll children as well?

I'm picking up life signs. Have you
returned to your original point, V. V?

What?! Dammit!
This is the same as on Kamine Island!

When did I get out of the Shinkiro?
And where am I? It isn't a hologram.

Correct!

And Knightmares
are such inelegant things.

Especially in the face of this system:
The Sword of Akasha!

You!

Lelouch, my son!
The time has come at last!

The time for redemption!

Why is the emperor
right in front of me?!

Dammit, I have to reconsider the situation.

He must be doing this because
he knows that I'm Zero.

I have no reason to hide it anymore!

The best plan would be to use my
Geass to make him my servant.

That eliminates the need to capture
V.V. And trade him for Nunnally, but...

But his own Geass and
this place stand in my way!

Don't I have any options?!

It's all or nothing now! I have to
take this once in a lifetime chance!
