[00:22] ---
    Daddy! Mommy!
[00:24] ---
    Ellie!
[00:27] ---
    Thank god...
[00:31] ---
    Isn't this great, Ellie?
[00:34] ---
    Thank you, Mister!
[00:37] ---
    Well, you know...
[00:39] ---
    Just doin' my job!
[00:41] ---
    I even got paid up front, so...
[00:46] ---
    --Thank you very much!
[00:47] ---
    --Thank you very much!
[00:49] ---
    It's over.
[00:50] ---
    Yup.
[00:53] ---
    How big you've grown, Ellie!
[00:55] ---
    Having a family... is nice.
[01:03] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[01:05] ---
    under the azure sky
[01:08] ---
    After making a vow,
[01:12] ---
    I now set off
[01:28] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[01:33] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[01:34] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[01:39] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[01:41] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[01:48] ---
    I live for someone else
[01:54] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[02:00] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[02:07] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[02:13] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.

[02:33] ---
    "The Lost Cat"
[02:46] ---
    Hm? What is this?
[02:49] ---
    Eden Project?
[02:53] ---
    Not found? The data must've been deleted.
[02:58] ---
    If their data admin is clueless,
    I just may be able to recover it.
[03:12] ---
    There! Yes!
[03:15] ---
    This is...!
[03:17] ---
    "Due to the collapse of Bioberg,
    the project was cancelled.
[03:21] ---
    This was not an accident,
    but a terrorist act.
[03:23] ---
    The research facility
    was totally destroyed,
[03:26] ---
    and the prototype machines
    under development were also stolen.
[03:30] ---
    Torneo Rudman, the perpetrator,
    was killed at the hands of Chronos;
[03:34] ---
    however, the whereabouts of the
    prototype machines are still unknown.
[03:37] ---
    The chief researcher of the Eden Project,
    Dr. Tearju Lunatique,
[03:42] ---
    was also critically injured
    and is currently hospitalized."
[03:45] ---
    Which hospital?
[03:47] ---
    You need a password?!
[03:51] ---
    How about... "femalescientist"?
[03:58] ---
    Damn! They must've waited until
    the Numbers were gone to attack.
[04:01] ---
    Contact Sephiria-sama immediately!
[04:15] ---
    What the...?!
[04:17] ---
    What's going on?!
[04:22] ---
    It doesn't seem as though
[04:23] ---
    you've taken those from the
    Apostles of the Stars as prisoners.
[04:27] ---
    How pitiful... you seem quite confused.
[04:31] ---
    You are Numbers! Are you telling us
    you were conspiring with the enemy?!
[04:37] ---
    You still don't get it?
[04:38] ---
    The days of Chronos are over.
[04:41] ---
    Now we, the Zero Numbers, will take over.
[04:45] ---
    Zero Numbers?!
[04:47] ---
    It seems that this was planned
    from the very beginning... Mason!
[04:52] ---
    Mason! You are a serious threat
    to the noble cause of Chronos.
[04:57] ---
    And I shall erase you!
[04:58] ---
    You're not in any position
    to be talking tough!
[05:01] ---
    You simply cannot see beyond
    Chronos' way of thinking, can you?
[05:04] ---
    We do have our own noble cause, as well.
[05:06] ---
    Sephiria...
[05:08] ---
    I have waited a long time for this day...
[05:14] ---
    the day that we take a step
    towards ultimate peace.
[05:21] ---
    This is farewell!
[05:32] ---
    Hey Bro!
[05:34] ---
    Bro! I'm glad you're back safe!
[05:37] ---
    Yo!
[05:38] ---
    H-Hey!
[05:47] ---
    Bro!
[05:49] ---
    --Cheers!
[05:49] ---
    --Cheers!
[05:54] ---
    Bro! Congratulations on attaining
    your long-cherished goal!
[05:57] ---
    I'm so relieved!
[05:59] ---
    Well, I knew you'd be back safe,
[06:01] ---
    but considering the enemy
    you were up against...
[06:03] ---
    If anything had happened to you...
[06:04] ---
    I was just so worried!
[06:06] ---
    Err... Hey Bro, are you listening?
[06:09] ---
    More milk, please!
[06:11] ---
    Geez! C'mon, Bro!
[06:13] ---
    Ah... Ah... Ah-choo!
[06:17] ---
    Hey, quit spitting all over the place!
[06:19] ---
    S-Sorry.
[06:22] ---
    Here's your milk.
[06:26] ---
    Annette?! What're you doing here?!
[06:29] ---
    Woodney told me...
[06:31] ---
    that you took on some dangerous job...
[06:34] ---
    So I brought all sorts of things.
    I guess it was for nothing.
[06:39] ---
    We don't need any of that stuff.
[06:41] ---
    Humph! As cocky as ever!
[06:44] ---
    I'm surprised you were
    able to procure the boat.
[06:47] ---
    The fishermen in this area were
    too afraid of the Apostles of the Stars
[06:50] ---
    to take their boats out.
[06:52] ---
    I hired a boatman
    who cared little about life.
[06:56] ---
    It cost me a fortune, though.
[06:58] ---
    When you collect your bounty,
    I expect a big cut.
[07:01] ---
    There won't be any bounty this time.
[07:03] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:05] ---
    Err... Haven't a clue...
[07:08] ---
    Don't tell me you let Creed escape?!
[07:09] ---
    Don't worry! We crushed
    the Apostles of the Stars good.
[07:14] ---
    You beat the Apostles of the Stars,
    yet you get no reward?!
[07:17] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
[07:19] ---
    Aw c'mon... let it go.
[07:21] ---
    The Sweeper Association guys
    are okay with it, too, so...
[07:25] ---
    Right? You guys don't care
    about the reward, right?
[07:28] ---
    Err... you do, huh?
[07:34] ---
    Sure you do. Even I do...
[07:37] ---
    I don't care.
[07:41] ---
    We didn't lose to even
    the Apostles of the Stars.
[07:45] ---
    No matter what kind of job we take
    from now on, we're sure to succeed.
[07:48] ---
    Eve...
[07:51] ---
    She's right!
[07:53] ---
    In any event, with this battle,
    we sweepers proved ourselves as men!
[07:58] ---
    And as women, too!
[08:00] ---
    Right! We beat those monsters!
[08:04] ---
    The bounty means nothing!
[08:06] ---
    --Right! Right!
[08:08] ---
    --Right! Right!
[08:10] ---
    I'm impressed! You first-class sweepers
    really are different from the rest!
[08:14] ---
    Tonight's on me! Drink all you like!
[08:16] ---
    --Alright!
[08:16] ---
    --Alright!
[08:30] ---
    They're all gone.
[08:33] ---
    They went off to their next jobs.
[08:36] ---
    Being a sweeper isn't a stable job...
[08:37] ---
    You follow where the wind
    and criminals take you.
[08:42] ---
    I see...
[08:46] ---
    Let's head out to our next job, too.
[08:51] ---
    Say, Eve... what do you want to do now?
[08:53] ---
    What?
[08:55] ---
    You can't keep roaming
    around with us, right?
[09:00] ---
    The Apostles of the Stars
    have been destroyed.
[09:02] ---
    Why not attend school or something?
[09:05] ---
    Like that fire-breathing girl, Kyoko.
    Attend a school in Zipang or something.
[09:10] ---
    Since Zipang is a safe country,
    it'd probably be...
[09:12] ---
    I like just how it is.
[09:17] ---
    I want to live freely.
[09:22] ---
    You know, I'm saying this for you.
[09:25] ---
    You should get into a
    prestigious girls' boarding school
[09:28] ---
    and get some education
    under a respectable teacher.
[09:32] ---
    If you're worried about the tuition,
    I'll find a way to...
[09:35] ---
    Hey, where are you going?!
[09:39] ---
    Sven... you don't understand anything.
[09:42] ---
    Eve!
[09:44] ---
    Geez... they don't even have a
    milk vending machine in this town?!
[09:51] ---
    Something wrong with the princess?
[09:55] ---
    It's nothing.
[09:59] ---
    Miss Eve?
[10:38] ---
    It's been a long time, Eve.
[10:41] ---
    I wonder if you've forgotten...
[10:43] ---
    that we're very old friends.
[10:47] ---
    Friends?
[10:49] ---
    Yes, I was there when you were born.
[10:54] ---
    Come, Eve. I'll take you to paradise.
[11:46] ---
    What in the...?!
[11:55] ---
    Since you're here,
[11:57] ---
    there must be no mistake that this is the gathering place.
[12:01] ---
    Number VII!
[12:03] ---
    Where are the others?
[12:05] ---
    I can't find them anywhere...
[12:08] ---
    I found David's body.
[12:10] ---
    I've just buried him.
[12:12] ---
    Then could Sephiria-san
    and Belze-san also be...?!
[12:17] ---
    There's no way those two
    would be defeated.
[12:20] ---
    I'm sure they're out searching
    for Baldor and the others.
[12:32] ---
    That's...!
[12:35] ---
    Sephiria-san!
[12:37] ---
    Belze-san!
[12:38] ---
    Anubis!
[12:47] ---
    No good!
[12:48] ---
    This one doesn't work either!
[12:51] ---
    Nor this...
[12:55] ---
    Just as expected, this is impossible!
[12:58] ---
    I'm so exhausted!
[13:00] ---
    I'm sleepy... my shoulders are aching...
[13:03] ---
    My butt hurts, too...
[13:08] ---
    Ahh! I'm starving!
[13:11] ---
    Even a simple omelet will do. I wanna eat!
[13:16] ---
    Omelet?!
[13:21] ---
    The disk was empty, but I kept it
    because of the weird title...

[13:28] ---
    
"Tips on how to make rolled omelets
    without turning them into toxic waste."

[13:37] ---
    Thank you for coming,
[13:39] ---
    but Ms. Lunatique may not
     recognize you as her cousin.
[13:44] ---
    The shock of the accident at Bioberg
    has caused her to lose her memory.
[13:49] ---
    This way.
[13:53] ---
    Oh? She's not here.
[13:55] ---
    Strange... she should be
    done with her rehab session,
[14:00] ---
    and I don't think any tests
    were scheduled on her today.
[14:06] ---
    What was that?
[14:07] ---
    Someone, help! The patient in 303 is...!
[14:11] ---
    She's agitated again after
    seeing herself in the mirror!
[14:37] ---
    You actually said that to the child?
[14:40] ---
    Poor thing! Saying that to her
[14:42] ---
    --After she trusted you so much...
[14:43] ---
    --Refill, please!
[14:44] ---
    Precisely because I'm close to her,
    I'm thinking about Eve's future,
[14:48] ---
    and...
[14:49] ---
    Sven! You always
    call yourself a gentleman...
[14:53] ---
    but you're such a coward, aren't you?!
[14:55] ---
    What?!
[14:57] ---
    It seems to me that you're
    trying to run away from Eve.
[15:00] ---
    Hey! More milk, please!
[15:03] ---
    You said, "Eve is not some sort
    of weapon. She's a human being."
[15:07] ---
    Then, isn't it important
    not just to protect her,
[15:09] ---
    but to think about her feelings as well?!
[15:16] ---
    Let's go.
[15:18] ---
    Let's go and get the princess.
[15:19] ---
    She's probably sulking somewhere,
[15:22] ---
    thinking, "Why isn't Sven
    coming to get me already?"
[15:25] ---
    C'mon, let's go.
[15:28] ---
    The adjustments to the improved
    NS amplifier have been completed.
[15:32] ---
    Aside from the transformation control,
[15:33] ---
    access permissions to the apperception
    system have also been registered.
[15:36] ---
    So, it won't accept
    any input from anyone but us.
[15:39] ---
    Furthermore, the pick-up
    rate of all the data
[15:44] ---
    that Eve has stored in her memory
    and emotion filters have been optimized.
[15:47] ---
    At this point, there is nothing
    in the way of activating Eden.
[15:51] ---
    Good.
[15:53] ---
    Eve...
[15:54] ---
    How long I've waited
    to see you again...
[15:58] ---
    From the very day when Dr. Lunatique
    created you at Bioberg.
[16:04] ---
    You will now proceed to paradise...
[16:07] ---
    to Eden... where it will all begin.
[16:17] ---
    Eve! Where are you?!
[16:21] ---
    Come on home now!
[16:22] ---
    Let's go get something good to eat!
[16:27] ---
    Hey Train! What're you doing up there?
[16:30] ---
    Huh? Of course I'm
    looking for the princess!
[16:34] ---
    I know! I'm asking why you're on the roof!
[16:37] ---
    When people are lonely,
    they like to climb up to high places.
[16:40] ---
    That's common sense.
[16:42] ---
    She's not you! You won't
    find her up on a roof!
[16:45] ---
    Get serious and look!
[16:47] ---
    Mister Sven!
[16:50] ---
    Ellie...
[16:52] ---
    What're you doing here?
    Did you come to see the boats?
[16:55] ---
    No. But what are you doing out so late?
[17:01] ---
    I came to greet Daddy.
[17:02] ---
    Oh? You did? Good girl.
[17:06] ---
    Oh! Good evening!
[17:08] ---
    H-Hello...
[17:10] ---
    Say Ellie, Eve still hasn't come back.
[17:14] ---
    Did you see her somewhere?
[17:16] ---
    Miss Eve?
[17:18] ---
    Oh, that blonde child?
    I saw her at the harbor.
[17:22] ---
    Really?
[17:23] ---
    Yes. A man who looks like a doctor
    in a white lab coat was with her.
[17:27] ---
    A doctor?! When?!
[17:30] ---
    I went back and forth between the harbor
    and my house several times today,
[17:34] ---
    but I think it was in the morning.
[17:37] ---
    Do you know which way they went?
[17:49] ---
    We were finally able to obtain Eve.
[17:52] ---
    The realization of
    the ideal world is near!
[17:56] ---
    I am grateful for all your work.
[18:01] ---
    To think that a young girl like this...
    has the power to change the world...
[18:13] ---
    Eve!
[18:15] ---
    Eve!!
[18:18] ---
    Where are you?! Eve!!
[18:25] ---
    Eve! So, that's where you were!
[18:29] ---
    Let's go home, Eve.
[18:33] ---
    Say, let's talk things over.
[18:37] ---
    Hey, you can stop fooling around now.
[18:42] ---
    Th-That's...!
[18:46] ---
    Eve says she's not going back to you.
[18:50] ---
    Quit talking nonsense!
[18:52] ---
    You're making her say that!
[18:55] ---
    Wait right there, Eve!
[18:56] ---
    I'll free you... right away!
[19:09] ---
    Sven!
[19:21] ---
    Hah! It's been a long time, Black Cat.
[19:28] ---
    Since when did Chrono Numbers
[19:31] ---
    start hiring the Apostles of the Stars
    to abduct people?
[19:34] ---
    We are no longer Chronos.
[19:37] ---
    We are comrades.
[19:40] ---
    I don't give a damn who you team up with!!
[19:44] ---
    Give Eve back now!!
[19:46] ---
    Unfortunately, we can't.
[19:49] ---
    We have a far deeper bond with Eve.
[19:54] ---
    What?!
[19:55] ---
    We know everything
    there is to know about Eve.
[19:58] ---
    Shut up!! What do you know about Eve?!
[20:02] ---
    Scum like you couldn't possibly
    understand how she feels!
[20:05] ---
    Hah! How she feels?
[20:07] ---
    Even if people understand
    each other's feelings,
[20:09] ---
    it does not stop them from fighting.
[20:12] ---
    Mason!
[20:14] ---
    So you're the mastermind behind all this!
[20:16] ---
    Chronos once tried to destroy Eve.
[20:19] ---
    So why do you want her now?
[20:23] ---
    For the magnificent
    and noble plan, Black Cat.
[20:28] ---
    I am grateful to you both, though...
[20:31] ---
    for nurturing Eve to this point.
[20:35] ---
    Now, we will be able to change the world.
[20:40] ---
    I don't know what the hell
    you're talking about!
[20:42] ---
    Just what does that have to do with Eve?!
[20:44] ---
    Come, Eve.
[20:49] ---
    Eve?!
[20:55] ---
    It's time to bid farewell.
[21:18] ---
    Eve!!
[21:19] ---
    Sven!
[21:20] ---
    Wait!
[21:22] ---
    Eve!
[21:30] ---
    Sven!
[21:56] ---
    Eve...
[22:04] ---
    Eve, this is Eden.
[22:08] ---
    Eden...
[22:09] ---
    Now go... Adam is waiting for you.
[22:15] ---
    Adam...
[22:29] ---
    Since your new black
    boots caused a blister,

[22:36] ---
    you rest your right foot
[22:43] ---
    We'll keep walking along
    with our own rhythm, without rushing

[22:56] ---
    Don't say anything
[23:04] ---
    because we'll soon understand each other
[23:11] ---
    I'm just holding you now to keep you warm
[23:25] ---
    I'm completely wrapped around you, so...
[23:35] ---
    Quietly the powder-like
    snow is building up...

[23:55] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:56] ---
    Eve, I have waited so long for your return.
[23:59] ---
    Now my plan will be fulfilled.
[24:03] ---
    Look, this is Eden,
[24:05] ---
    the salvation that mankind has long awaited.
[24:09] ---
    Eve, from now on,
[24:12] ---
    you and Eden will bring
    ultimate peace to mankind.

[24:15] ---
    It is splendid...
[24:17] ---
    Too splendid!
[24:17] ---
