[00:00] ---
    Then this machine was-
[00:02] ---
    Yeah. The demon we
    saw 15 years ago.
[00:06] ---
    I always figured it had been annihilated
    in the damage of Heaven's Fall.
[00:10] ---
    Capt. Magbaredge!
[00:14] ---
    What in the world... is that?
[00:24] ---
    Confirm that the ship
    is fitted out.
[00:26] ---
    Check its fuel, weapons,
    and munitions.
[00:29] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[00:35] ---
    Deucalion. That's this ship's name?
[00:39] ---
    Why do you suppose such a
    fine ship was abandoned
[00:42] ---
    without ever sending it
    into battle?
[00:44] ---
    Reserves are still working! If we can
    feed it power, it'll be good to go.
[00:48] ---
    Fuel level is...
    I'm not sure!
[00:51] ---
    What kind of report is that?
[00:52] ---
    There's no fuel gauge!
[00:56] ---
    Oh, so that's it.
[01:01] ---
    That's why this ship
    was abandoned.
[01:05] ---
    Surely you don't mean...
[01:07] ---
    An Aldnoah drive.
[01:12] ---
    Hey, civilians aren't
    allowed in here!
[01:15] ---
    Please leave imme-
[01:16] ---
    My apologies.
[01:19] ---
    Who are you?!
[01:22] ---
    There is no cause for alarm.
    I am your friend.
[01:33] ---
    You're...
[01:47] ---
    I command you in the name
    of Asseylum Vers Allusia!
[01:51] ---
    Aldnoah, awaken!
[04:07] ---
    Well? Are we in a more
    talkative mood now?
[04:13] ---
    What is your objective?
[04:15] ---
    To what end did you
    go to that island?
[04:30] ---
    Perhaps he has had enough,
    Count Cruhteo.
[04:37] ---
    We needn't show pity to a member
    of a lower race, Count Saazbaum.
[04:42] ---
    If he dies, we learn nothing.
[04:45] ---
    He sought an audience with the emperor,
    heedless of the risk to himself.
[04:49] ---
    That is remarkable.
[04:50] ---
    I would know his intent.
[04:52] ---
    Intent?
[04:54] ---
    As if this child
    is capable of thought.
[04:58] ---
    Milord Cruhteo. We have
    located the wreckage
[05:01] ---
    of an Orbital Knight Kataphrakt
    on the island.
[05:04] ---
    What?
[05:05] ---
    We believe it to be that of
    Countess Femieanne's Hellas.
[05:08] ---
    How can that be?
[05:10] ---
    What was Countess Femieanne slain by?
[05:15] ---
    A waste of time, eh?
[05:18] ---
    Abide, Count Cruhteo.
[05:23] ---
    Tell me now! If you do,
    I will put you out of your misery.
[05:32] ---
    Continue to suffer, then.
[05:42] ---
    So this is the bridge...
[05:45] ---
    Deucalion... A flying battleship.
[05:49] ---
    Nina, what makes it fly?
[05:52] ---
    That Martian thing, uh...
[05:54] ---
    Aldnoah?
[05:55] ---
    Yeah, that.
[05:56] ---
    Are the helm controls like a normal ship's?
    Can you handle this thing?
[06:01] ---
    The FCS has been adjusted so it
    feels the same when I steer.
[06:06] ---
    Should you be away from
    your post, Calm?
[06:09] ---
    What's the big deal if I want
    to look around a bit?
[06:12] ---
    Besides, there's no
    bigwigs around.
[06:15] ---
    Hm? Where's Inaho?
[06:17] ---
    In the bigwig's office.
    With the Martians.
[06:21] ---
    Martians...
[06:22] ---
    Yeah. Thanks to her, this ship's
    Aldnoah drive is working.
[06:29] ---
    What?!
[06:31] ---
    The Mars Knights plotted your assassination?
    I find that hard to believe.
[06:36] ---
    Capt. Magbaredge, if we disclosed this information,
    perhaps the Mars Knights would stop attacking.
[06:42] ---
    Our communications satellites and
    telecom bases have been wiped out,
[06:46] ---
    and long-range transmissions are impossible
    thanks to their jamming signal.
[06:50] ---
    If we're going to try to get the word
    out that the princess is safe,
[06:52] ---
    there's no guarantee that the proper
    agencies would get the message.
[06:56] ---
    You believe it would make us the target of
    the Mars Knights who plotted her death?
[07:01] ---
    Our plan all along was to go to United
    Earth HQ in Russia to regroup, anyway.
[07:09] ---
    Very well. Until we arrive, we will
    see to your safety, Highness.
[07:13] ---
    Thank you.
[07:14] ---
    Now, Kaizuka Junior.
[07:17] ---
    Inaho Kaizuka, ma'am.
[07:20] ---
    And you...
[07:22] ---
    Rayet Areash.
[07:23] ---
    You two were aware of this,
    yet neglected to inform me.
[07:28] ---
    I'm not a soldier. I'm not
    obligated to report to you.
[07:32] ---
    And you, Junior?
[07:33] ---
    I didn't neglect to inform you.
    I deliberately didn't.
[07:37] ---
    Watch what you say! You're putting
    yourself on very thin ice.
[07:40] ---
    I asked him not to.
[07:43] ---
    Someone working with the
    assassins might be aboard.
[07:47] ---
    Eddelrittuo!
[07:48] ---
    We can't trust you Martians, either.
[07:54] ---
    A nation that latched onto
    an archaic feudal system
[07:57] ---
    that relies on the superscience of an
    ancient civilization called Aldnoah.
[08:01] ---
    Commoners who are obsessed with proving
     themselves in battle to win social standing.
[08:05] ---
    And nobility who casually betray them
    and grind them into the dirt...
[08:09] ---
    How can you possibly
    trust people like that?!
[08:15] ---
    I don't trust them.
[08:17] ---
    All Martians are the enemy!
[08:31] ---
    No matter how far science advances, these
    procedures always remain primitive.
[08:37] ---
    And at times... are all the
    more effective for it.
[08:45] ---
    Do it.
[08:50] ---
    Does it hurt?
[08:53] ---
    Now, then...
[08:56] ---
    What is the matter?
[09:02] ---
    Oh, has that loosened
    your tongue?
[09:06] ---
    Have you... sworn loyalty...
[09:10] ---
    ...to Princess Asseylum?
[09:18] ---
    Continue.
[09:19] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[09:23] ---
    Impudent boy...
[09:28] ---
    And how are we feeling?
[09:30] ---
    Lousy...
[09:31] ---
    Glad to hear it. The medicine
    seems to be working.
[09:35] ---
    I can't believe that coming here
    triggered a relapse...
[09:38] ---
    I'd feel a lot better if
    you'd give me some booze.
[09:41] ---
    That's not the sort of medicine
    you pester your doctor for.
[09:46] ---
    I hate this...
[09:54] ---
    "Birds"?
[09:55] ---
    Yes, Milady.
[09:56] ---
    Animals that fly
    through the air...
[09:59] ---
    When we reach Earth, I will be
    able to see them, won't I?
[10:03] ---
    Yes. Progress is slow, but the scars
    of Heaven's Fall are fading.
[10:09] ---
    Nature is powerful, and when
    an area is depopulated,
[10:12] ---
    it immediately begins
    to reclaim it.
[10:15] ---
    Depopulated?
[10:17] ---
    Yes. As opposed
    to urban areas,
[10:20] ---
    plant life reproduces abundantly
    in devastated regions, and...
[10:24] ---
    It is sad, isn't it? That we are
    unable to thrive together.
[10:30] ---
    Not at all! With forethought
    and hard work, it is possible!
[10:35] ---
    Do you really think so?
[10:36] ---
    Yes! It is possible for us
    to thrive together!
[10:43] ---
    Well, Terran? Do you feel
    like talking now?
[10:48] ---
    Count... Do you care for
    the princess?
[10:53] ---
    What?
[10:54] ---
    Are you... her ally?
[10:59] ---
    Yes. Of course I am.
[11:01] ---
    Now, speak.
[11:03] ---
    As punishment for your crime,
[11:05] ---
    I shall give your compatriots on Earth
     a taste of even greater horrors.
[11:10] ---
    I knew it, you were lying...
[11:13] ---
    You want an excuse to go
    to war with Earth...
[11:20] ---
    Her Highness wished for
    peace with Earth, but you...
[11:26] ---
    You are exploiting her death...
[11:29] ---
    ...to crush her dream...
[11:40] ---
    Do not invoke her memory
    so lightly, you filthy Terran!
[11:55] ---
    Sey-
[11:57] ---
    No, Princess Asseylum.
[12:00] ---
    I do not mind you
    calling me Seylum, Inaho.
[12:03] ---
    But I mind!
[12:05] ---
    From now on, add
    "Your Highness" to that.
[12:07] ---
    Eddeltittuo.
[12:08] ---
    But, Milady!
[12:09] ---
    I do apologize. This is her way
    of looking out for me.
[12:14] ---
    So, what is it?
[12:16] ---
    Well, I ran into someone
    on Tanegashima who-
[12:17] ---
    Hey, Inaho!
[12:21] ---
    You knew that there were
    Martians hiding among us?
[12:26] ---
    Yeah.
[12:26] ---
    Where are they?!
    I'm gonna avenge Okojo!
[12:31] ---
    I am the Princess
    of Mars you seek.
[12:35] ---
    Come again?
[12:36] ---
    I deeply regret that so many of your fellow
    Terrans have been injured or killed.
[12:42] ---
    I assure you, this war
    is not what Vers wants.
[12:45] ---
    I am doing all I can to bring this meaningless
    conflict to an end as soon as possible.
[12:50] ---
    Uh... Sure.
    Do your best, okay?
[12:54] ---
    What are you blushing for?
[12:56] ---
    You're as red as a lobster.
[12:58] ---
    Where did you guys
    come from?!
[12:59] ---
    Didn't you say you were
    going to get revenge?
[13:01] ---
    Didn't you say something about
    all Martians being the enemy?
[13:04] ---
    I never said any such thing!
[13:07] ---
    There are good Martians and bad
    Martians, same as everywhere else!
[13:10] ---
    Right, Inaho?
[13:12] ---
    Back my play, man!
[13:15] ---
    As I said, there's no
    trusting Terrans...
[13:23] ---
    You have saved me countless times
    since we arrived on Earth, Inaho.
[13:27] ---
    Thank you so much.
[13:29] ---
    I wasn't fighting for you
    in particular, Seylum.
[13:34] ---
    It's because I was drafted. If I don't
    fight, it puts me in danger, too.
[13:40] ---
    Nevertheless, that does not change
    the fact that I owe you my life.
[13:44] ---
    Thank you.
[13:47] ---
    That Martian that I met on
    Tanegashima was looking for you.
[13:53] ---
    And he was scared that you
    were being exploited.
[13:57] ---
    Could it be...?
[13:59] ---
    There are some among the enemy
    who think that you are still alive.
[14:04] ---
    I suggest staying
    on your guard.
[14:11] ---
    What's that?
[14:12] ---
    A good luck charm given to me by a dear
    Terran friend when we arrived at Earth.
[14:17] ---
    By a Terran?
[14:19] ---
    The son of a scientist who
    visited Mars to study Aldnoah.
[14:24] ---
    I heard all manner of stories
    regarding Earth from him.
[14:30] ---
    About the sea.
    About the sky.
[14:37] ---
    About the creatures
    who live there.
[14:41] ---
    As I heard these stories, I grew
    more and more enamored of Earth.
[14:46] ---
    As a result, I wanted more than
    anything to come to Earth.
[14:51] ---
    And I wished to establish
    peaceful relations with Earth.
[15:06] ---
    That creature,
    could that be... a bird?
[15:09] ---
    Yes, a black-tailed gull.
[15:12] ---
    An animal that flies through the sky!
    They really do exist, don't they?
[15:19] ---
    It is just as you said, Slaine!
[15:33] ---
    My life was saved by Princess
    Asseylum that day...
[15:41] ---
    If it weren't for her,
    I wouldn't be alive now...
[15:49] ---
    So this time, I will
    protect you, Your Highness!
[15:57] ---
    I mustn't divulge that
    she is alive...
[16:01] ---
    I won't let those who hope to exploit
    the princess have their way...
[16:09] ---
    Be they Martian...
[16:13] ---
    ...or Terran.
[16:17] ---
    I...
[16:32] ---
    How regretful Princess
    Asseylum must be...
[16:35] ---
    To put her faith in inferior scum like
    him and lose her life as a result...
[16:40] ---
    Milord Cruhteo.
[16:42] ---
    What is it?
[16:43] ---
    We've discovered something on
    the island that we can't explain.
[16:46] ---
    The wreckage of another Kataphrakt, one not
    belonging to Countess Femieanne.
[16:50] ---
    This is the one that fell
    to Earth 15 years ago...!
[16:54] ---
    The Deucalion...!
    It can't be!
[16:56] ---
    The unit's Aldnoah drive
    had been removed.
[16:59] ---
    What?! No, it is no
    cause for concern.
[17:04] ---
    They cannot activate
    the Aldnoah.
[17:11] ---
    What is so amusing?
[17:14] ---
    Nothing...
[17:19] ---
    Enough of this.
    Kill him.
[17:21] ---
    Not yet, Count Cruhteo.
[17:24] ---
    He makes a mockery of the
    proud Orbital Knights.
[17:29] ---
    I will spread your ashes
    here on Earth.
[17:35] ---
    Answer me, scum!
    What made you laugh?!
[17:38] ---
    What made you laugh?!
[17:43] ---
    Answer me. Without Aldnoah, the Terrans could
    not have been the ones who slew Hellas.
[17:50] ---
    This is your punishment for what you've
    done to Her Highness' beloved Earth...
[17:56] ---
    Preposterous. They have no one
    capable of activating it.
[18:00] ---
    Only a handful of Versians
    have come down to Earth,
[18:03] ---
    and the only ones possessing
    the right of activation are...
[18:06] ---
    It cannot be.
[18:13] ---
    Princess Asseylum?!
    Is the princess still alive?!
[18:18] ---
    Speak! Is she unharmed?!
[18:21] ---
    Answer me, damn you!
[18:31] ---
    If she were...
    What would you do?
[18:35] ---
    Assassinate her again?
[18:37] ---
    What?
[18:38] ---
    Was it not you who gave Sir Trillram
    his orders? To kill the princess?
[18:44] ---
    You dare suggest I-
[18:46] ---
    "If we let her live, my entire clan and its
    followers will be branded as traitors."
[18:52] ---
    Why, you... You claimed to have
    seen his death, as I recall.
[18:57] ---
    Yes. I shot him.
[19:01] ---
    Then he did not get caught
    in the meteor bombardment...
[19:05] ---
    In the Nilokeras, with its
    dimensional barrier?
[19:12] ---
    I won't let you have your way...
[19:16] ---
    Her Highness... will
    smash your plans.
[19:28] ---
    Princess Asseylum... is alive?
    That is impossible.
[19:35] ---
    It can't be!
[19:38] ---
    You learned the truth and went out in
    search of the princess on your own?
[19:43] ---
    Telling no one, for fear
    of alerting the traitors...
[19:47] ---
    Alone, without support...!
[19:49] ---
    Willing to risk being captured
    and killed by us...
[19:59] ---
    Forgive me, Slaine.
[20:02] ---
    You have proven your loyalty
    a thousand times over!
[20:04] ---
    See to this man's injuries!
[20:06] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[20:10] ---
    I, too, swore loyalty
    to Her Highness...
[20:13] ---
    Those traitors who dared to lay
    a hand on her Highness will pay!
[20:20] ---
    Put me through to
    United Earth Headquarters!
[20:22] ---
    Offer a cease-fire and request their
    assistance in locating the princess!
[20:27] ---
    We will identify those who made a mockery
    of the Orbital Knights and punish them!
[20:33] ---
    Milord Cruhteo! An object
    is approaching from orbit!
[20:37] ---
    What? Another meteor bombardment?
[20:39] ---
    No, Milord!
[20:40] ---
    Given its rate of deceleration,
    it is far less dense!
[20:43] ---
    It is adjusting its entry trajectory.
    Estimated landing point is...
[20:49] ---
    ...this Landing Castle!
[21:01] ---
    What happened?
[21:06] ---
    That's... the Dioscuria!
    Count Saazbaum?
[21:27] ---
    I see... It is all clear now!
[21:31] ---
    The mastermind of
    the assassination plot was...
[21:34] ---
    Ready my Tharsis!
