02x19 - Betrayal

[bunniefuu]

We've confirmed a gigantic expl*si*n
has occurred in the Tokyo settlement.

From the reports, we believe
it was a F.L.E.I.J.A. Warhead.

Is this correct, Your Majesty?
Should we be staying here at Kamine Island?

Enough! Let Schneizel handle it all.

At least ten million of the general populace
are believed dead from the initial damage.

Secondary damages will result
in twenty-five million casualties.

Since all rescue facilities were annihilated,
we have no way of rescuing any civilians.

The Tokyo settlement has d*ed.

No... How could this have happened?!

They're all... They're all!

I... I did this?!

The school's still all right.

But this is no longer a w*r.

If they use this w*apon again,
the Black Knights will be wiped out!

Tohdoh... It's me.

Zero, we can't stay here...

Have all forces land in the Tokyo
settlement. Search for Nunnally.

W-Wait! We've lost Asahina! And we
have massive casualties aside from...

You think I care about that?!

Find Nunnally!
That takes top priority!

Have all of our forces
search for Nunnally!

What's happened to Zero?!

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

BETRAYAL

The fugitive's on the port side runway, right?

Wait, please! We need to get
our forces reorganized first!

Understood!
I'll be back there in a minute!

Ohgi!

Chigusa.

Hold it right there, Miss Fugitive.

Cornelia?! I thought it was
Villetta who had escaped.

It's been a long time.
The television man without a shred of honor...

Is Zero behind this?
Holding the princess c*ptive?

He should have shown
a little more trust in me!

Aim for her legs!
I want her taken alive!

Yes, sir!

We are carrying a Britannian
special diplomatic envoy!

I repeat, we are carrying a
Britannian special diplomatic envoy!

We have no intention of attacking!

A special envoy?

Minase! Was that plane cleared
to land through official channels?

Brother!

Impossible! He's personally
stepped right into the lion's den?

Tohdoh! I told you to find Nunnally, didn't I?!

Now take command of the search team!

Kallen, do you hear me?
Rolo! Jeremiah!

Nunnally must still be alive!
Find her! Find Nunnally!

Attention, all forces!

Fall back to Makuhari
and reform our battle line!

All forces, fall back immediately!

Tohdoh!
I told you to search for Nunnally...

As long as big brother is safe...

...then we'll get another chance.

Kagoshima Settlement (Coast)

What's the meaning of this temporary cease-fire?
What are the Britannians up to?!
Kagoshima Settlement (Coast)

Kagoshima Settlement (Coast)

Why did Bismarck withdraw his troops?!
Kagoshima Settlement (Coast)

Why did Bismarck withdraw his troops?!

We're still confirming that, but they
don't seem to want to att*ck us.

There seems to be
a cease-fire in Tokyo, as well.

Did Zero order it?

Master?!

Hang in there, big brother.

Where's Nunnally?

I'm here for you, big brother.

We've been doing fine up till now
with just the two of us, haven't we?

Jeremiah? I'd like big brother
to be left alone for now.

You can talk to him later.

Right. It may not mean
much of anything.

Big brother has me
here with him, after all.

Why do you have this?!

I wanted to give this to Nunnally!
To Nunnally!

You think you can replace Nunnally
in my heart?! You damned imposter!

Haven't you figured it out yet?

I hate you. I despise you!

I've tried over and over to k*ll you,
but I just keep missing the chance!

Big... brother?

Get out of here!
I never want to see you again!

GET OUT OF HERE!!!

In the end,
I just didn't understand.

Just how great the damage would be...

Nina, you need to make a choice.

Do you abandon science
to preserve your heart,

or destroy your heart and
sacrifice yourself to science?

How can I make that choice?

Did you make that choice too,
Prof. Lloyd?

My heart was destroyed from the very start.

I'm self-aware enough
to acknowledge that.

I was the one who built F.L.E.I.J. A...

I k*lled them... All of them!

All of them!

It's no use.
Zero won't answer.

We've no choice, then. We'll have to
meet with Schneizel without Zero.

But Zero's our leader, isn't he?

Won't it be wrong to proceed on our own?

It was a m*ssacre! They k*lled everyone,
including women and children!

All on Zero's orders, he said!

Diethard! Why didn't you take
Schneizel c*ptive immediately?

He only had one Knightmare guarding him, right?
We could have avenged Asahina...

His plane is equipped with
a F.L.E.I.J.A. Warhead.

F.L.E.I.J. A?

The b*mb which caused
that gigantic expl*si*n.

If it had exploded there,
neither we nor Zero would have survived.

We don't know what Schneizel's
objective here is.

Our only option right now
is to talk to him.

I'll pass. I'd like to check over
my Guren now that it's back.

Then the negotiators will be
myself, Chiba, Diethard, and...

Forget it.
I can't find Ohgi anywhere.

Jeez! Where'd that guy go?

Kallen!

Thank goodness, you're back in one piece!

Sorry to worry you all.

Hey, where's Zero?

I heard he's in his quarters.

There's talk he's been wounded.

Lady Nunnally,
please be alive. Please!

That's all. Everything I saw
or heard at the Order.

Thank you, Cornelia.
With this, I can now...

Forgive the wait.

Sorry. We've had our hands full with
all the casualties you guys caused.

Tamaki, we discussed this
already. You can't come in here.

I'm the Black Knight's
Minister of Internal Janitorial Affairs.

I can be the representative for
General-Secretary Ohgi, right?

You're the only one
who has that impression.

No, please. I'd like him to join
us in the conference, as well.

Shinichiro Tamaki.

As Zero's oldest comrade, I've heard you're
the brave veteran of many historic battles.

Hah! The man talks sense.

T-Tamaki, please!

You rescued me
a long time ago, didn't you?

I only came here
to thank you for that.

But still...

You and I share an odd
connection, don't we?

In the end, I suppose it's fate
that we be enemies.

I'll take my leave now, sir.

I must search for Lady Nunnally.

Nunnally is...

Survivors will please register
their names in order.

Along with your I.D. Number, give your
name, age, address, and blood type.

If you require medical attention,
please go to the medical information desk.

To minimize any confusion,
please move in a calm and orderly manner.

Rivalz!

Prez, you really are alive, aren't you?

Yeah. I'm alive. I'm alive!

Oh, thank goodness!

You can say that again!

I never settled my match
with Zero from before, did I?

Zero isn't coming. Not until we determine
the details of what you wish to discuss.

No, I wouldn't have
expected him to show up.

He's not the type who consults
others about things.

I imagine he keeps things to himself
and holds people at a distance.

You talk as if you know Zero intimately.

More than you people do.

Zero is my and Cornelia's younger brother.

Say what?!

The former th prince of
the Holy Britannian Empire:

Lelouch vi Britannia.

The man I both loved and feared the most.

Impossible!

You're sayin' Zero's a Britannian prince?!

Diethard, didn't you ever realize?

From the information you got
from Jeremiah and Villetta?

You're wasting your time.

You can't cause chaos here by
spreading these absurd stories.

It's not Zero's lineage we acknowledge,
but rather the miracles he's performed for us.

But what if those miracles
were just shams?

Shams?

Zero possesses a special power.
One known as Geass.

The power to force anyone
to obey his orders.

You could think of it as
extremely powerful hypnosis.

And you're saying his miracles
come from that power?

Don't you talk crap about my man Zero!

He got brains and guts
and he's just awesome!

All this talk about princes and Geass!
Where's your proof, huh? You got proof, huh?

I've got your proof!

Ohgi...

And Villetta?

What he says is all true.

Zero's true identity is the former
Britannian prince Lelouch.

He controls people with that Geass
power of his. He's a con man!

Zero's been tricking us all along!

Using us as pawns from the very start!

Ohgi, what are you saying?!

But, if that's true, then...

Then it doesn't matter!

That doesn't repudiate all that
he's done for us up till now.

And if he really does have that
Geass power you speak of,

then doesn't that jut help us?

It becomes a powerful w*apon
to be used against Britannia.

As long as he only uses it
against our enemies!

What?

Are you saying he's used it on us?

I am. He used it to control Euphemia,
his own sister!

He had her m*ssacre the Elevens
gathered in the Special Zone!

Bullshit! Zero's a knight of Justice!
He'd never...

We have proof.

Lelouch, did you use your
Geass on Euphy?

Yes.

You made her m*ssacre the Japanese?

I ordered her to.

Then, that m*ssacre was...

Zero did it! Not my little sister!

You mean Zero...
He had the Japanese k*lled?!

It's gotta be a fake!

These are incidents and people which we
suspect were manipulated by his Geass power.

Kusakabe! Even Maj. General Katase!

I don't believe it. This is!

Clovis...

He used it on me, too.

That explains Gao Hai's change of attitude.

And completely explains why
Jeremiah and the others turned traitor.

There's no guarantee I'm not
controlled by his Geass as well.

When you think about it, it's terrifying.

You mean?!

Us, too?!

There's one more thing.

We notified Zero about the F.L.E.I.J.A.
Warhead before we used it.

We wanted to avoid a useless battle.

It's still in the Lancelot's
communications record. However...

He never told us.

We can't trust Zero!

Shougo...

I wanted to believe in him!
I wanted to!

But to him, we're nothing but...

Nothing but pawns?! Dammit!

How could he do this to us?!

DAMMIT!!!

Everyone... My brother...
Will you hand Zero over to me?

On one condition!

Ohgi!

You think you're in any
position to bargain?!

Let's hear it.

Japan... Give it back!

I'm about to betray someone I trusted.

If I don't at least get Japan back,
then I'll never forgive myself!

Master, please take off your clothes.

What?

Do you hurt anywhere?

If it's someplace
you can't reach, I can...

That's right...
It's someplace I can't reach.

Zero, may I come in?

It's me.

Kallen.

Ohgi said he wanted you
to come to storeroom four.

Four?

Sorry, but I didn't ask
why he wanted you.

Master?

Please take off your clothes.
I'll do my best, I promise.

What the hell have you two been up to?!
While I've been rotting in a cell, you've!

No, you've got it wrong.
C.C. Is now... Um...

She's lost her memory.

It's my fault.

So, the C.C. You knew... is gone now.

C.C.'s gone?

C.C.'s gone.
And now Nunnally's been k*lled.

That means Lelouch is...

Kallen.

It's good you made it back.
I'm sorry it took so long to send help.

Lelouch... I happened to talk to Nunnally.
She saved me.

I see.

Look... I'm not sure what
to say at a time like this,

but when I lost my brother, l...

Surrender quietly, Zero!

How dare you con us like you have!

We know all about your Geass power!

The legendary hero Zero d*ed in
battle before realizing his ambitions.

But his gallant life will live on in legend!

Is that the script you've
written for me, Diethard?

To be honest, I wanted to film
your triumph against Britannia,

but I'm afraid that show
has been canceled.

What do I do? The Knightmares are in the way,
but Ohgi and the others are defenseless!

If I can use my Geass
without them noticing!

Everyone trusted you!

Inoue and Yoshida even d*ed for you!

Wait a minute!
This is way too one-sided!

Look how far we've been able to come
because of Zero! Let him have his say...

Step aside, Kallen!

Do you want to die with Zero?!

Don't tell me he used
his Geass on you, too!

Answer me, Lelouch.
What am I to you?

If I could stay with you,
I would... Please.

I see.
This is you calling "check"on me.

Then there must not be
any way out of this for me.

Please, just answer me!

Fools! You finally figured it out!

That I've been using you all.

That you're nothing but pawns to me!

Zero! So, you really are...

Zero!

Lelouch...

Kallen, you were the most
special piece of all for me to play.

That's right. This was all just
a board for me to play on.

Just a game to me.

I see...

Goodbye then, Lelouch.

Take aim!

Kallen... You have to live.

Fire!

Are you okay, big brother?!

Rolo!

Never mind!
Open fire on the Shinkiro, too!

Wait!

Big brother, I'll protect you!

Stop it, Rolo! That's enough!

Master...

They're gone!

The Shinkiro!

Like at Babel Tower...

Anya, Zero's escaped.

Can you capture him with the Mordred?

If I can destroy him...

I never realized how difficult it was to
calculate the Absolute Defense Field.

My big brother really is
incredible, isn't he?

Rolo! I have no reason
to live any longer!

How can it move like that?

I won't let them k*ll you!
I swear!

Using your Geass over
such a large area...

Rolo, your heart won't be able
to take the strain!

Attention, all units!
The Shinkiro has been stolen!

Any units capable of combat,
destroy the Shinkiro!

I repeat, destroy the Shinkiro!

Enough, Rolo!
I don't want to live any more!

I won't, big brother. Because...

Stop...

For my entire life,
someone has always been using me.

...doing this, Rolo!
Why are you trying to...

I was used by the Order...

...to save me?! L...

And then you used me, big brother.

Yeah... Maybe you've just
been using me all this time...

But only the time
I spent with you was real.

...was only...

Thanks to those memories...

They finally made me...

human!

...using you! Rolo!

That's why... I'm not...

I'm not!

Stop it! Don't use your Geass!
Do you want to die?!

I... am not... a tool!

I do this... of my own... free will!

Rolo, why did you save me?

After all I've done to you?

Because you're a liar, big brother.

It was a lie, wasn't it?
About trying to k*ll me...

About... hating me...

Yeah. You saw right through it,
didn't you?

Just what I'd expect
of my little brother.

Yeah... That's right...

Because... I know...

everything about you... big brother...

Yeah. You did.

Your big brother... is nothing but a liar.

We cannot confirm the target.

Increasing the search area.

Could you send in ground units, please?

Nunnally... Rolo... Shirley...
The Black Knights...

I've lost everything.

This is the result
which I've been left with.

No. It's the punishment I deserve.

But now, thanks to this...

Thank you, Rolo.

You saved my life because there's
still a task for me to do, didn't you?

Yes. Something for me to do...

Who would have imagined?

That I would ever use the system here?

The Ragnarok Connection.

Now the old world shall be destroyed,
and a new world created in its place!

Charles zi Britannia, my father!

If I am on the road to hell,

then I'll drag you down there with me!
I swear it!

Rolo... What was our relationship,
in the end?

It's strange to think.
Even knowing the truth, you still...

You of all people stuck
by me to the very end.

Yeah...

I always realize these things
after it's too late.

To you, I wasn't
Lelouch vi Britannia, was I?

You were Lelouch Lamperouge's
little brother.

EMPEROR DISMISSED
