[00:05] ---
    Vincent...
[00:27] ---
    Vincent...
[03:11] ---
    Re-l Mayer.
[03:13] ---
    Kristeva.
[03:15] ---
    Where's Vincent?
[03:23] ---
    He didn't kill me.
[03:27] ---
    Part of him must still be Vincent.
[03:32] ---
    But...
[03:34] ---
    Is Vincent Law going to
    kill the Bureau Chief as well?
[03:43] ---
    Where are you going?
[03:45] ---
    I am his Entourage.
    It is my duty to protect him.
[03:56] ---
    Right.
[04:07] ---
    Bind
[04:27] ---
    Where are you, Papa?
[04:31] ---
    Grandfather...
[04:33] ---
    Romdo is finished.
[04:37] ---
    I always hated this city.
[04:48] ---
    It was a world of lies.
[04:52] ---
    But...
[04:53] ---
    is this the truth?
[04:57] ---
    If that's the case,
    then what I asked for is even worse.
[05:14] ---
    It's you.
[05:19] ---
    The other me. It's nice to meet you.
[05:23] ---
    Who are you?
[05:25] ---
    Me?
[05:26] ---
    I'm Real Mayer.
[05:28] ---
    I'm Re-l Mayer. Not you.
[05:34] ---
    Stay away!
[05:37] ---
    Don't do such a sad thing.
[05:40] ---
    You got Vincent to remember me, Monad.
[05:48] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:50] ---
    What do you mean, Monad?
[05:52] ---
    What's that got to do with me?
[05:55] ---
    And how come you know about Vincent?
[05:59] ---
    There's no need for him to suffer anymore.
[06:03] ---
    I want to free him from his
    burden as Creator.
[06:09] ---
    Burden as Creator?
[06:11] ---
    He's the one who created Romdo.
[06:15] ---
    You've told her more than enough.
[06:20] ---
    Real, I've been looking for you.
[06:24] ---
    Daedalus.
[06:26] ---
    So the Regent is really dead?
[06:29] ---
    That explains why I was allowed to enter.
[06:32] ---
    Vincent created this city?
[06:35] ---
    Yeah, go ahead and ask.
[06:39] ---
    Now that the Regent's gone,
[06:41] ---
    there's no reason
[06:43] ---
    for these stone puppets to keep
    their mouths shut anymore.
[06:47] ---
    Who's she?
[06:49] ---
    I told you not to wander off on your own.
[06:52] ---
    Daedalus, I want to see Vincent.
[06:58] ---
    I want to see Vincent.
[07:02] ---
    Not you too.
[07:06] ---
    Real!
[07:08] ---
    Real, go back to the lab.
[07:12] ---
    Stop messing around!
[07:14] ---
    Vincent killed Grandfather.
[07:16] ---
    Was that the true Vincent?
[07:20] ---
    Then what should I do?
[07:23] ---
    If he's no longer himself, then I...
[07:27] ---
    But, Daedalus, even you're...
[07:30] ---
    I don't know!
[07:31] ---
    The Regent's been killed, right?
[07:33] ---
    Then kill Vincent!
[07:36] ---
    Vincent, Vincent...
    that's all anyone cares about!
[07:43] ---
    That's right...
[07:45] ---
    I have to go look for my Real.
[07:47] ---
    Daedalus...
[07:51] ---
    When I look into my Real's eyes,
    I only want to see myself.
[08:02] ---
    Tell me the truth. The truth you know.
[08:06] ---
    Re-l...
[08:09] ---
    the truth is Romdo is finished.
[08:15] ---
    What about Vincent and Ergo Proxy?
[08:18] ---
    Did they come back
    here just to watch it happen?
[08:22] ---
    Even we cannot know the Creator's mind.
[08:26] ---
    Did Vincent really create this city?
[08:30] ---
    The dome and dozens of
    blueprints for fellow citizens.
[08:35] ---
    And the womb system to ensure
    stable population growth.
[08:39] ---
    Correct.
[08:42] ---
    I saw several domes in the outside world.
[08:47] ---
    Was each of them created by
    their own Proxy as well?
[08:54] ---
    Proxies really are gods.
[08:57] ---
    And Romdo is a paradise
    which God has forsaken.
[09:01] ---
    Forsaken?
[09:02] ---
    Ergo left here...
[09:05] ---
    with a profound
    disappointment for himself.
[09:08] ---
    Donov Mayer was left in charge.
[09:11] ---
    Ergo left Grandfather in charge?
[09:14] ---
    Why would a supposedly almighty
    Proxy abandon this place?
[09:19] ---
    Why is the world such a mess?
[09:21] ---
    He wasn't almighty after all.
[09:25] ---
    Ergo was a god to Romdo. That is true.
[09:29] ---
    But he was an imperfect god.
[09:32] ---
    And so what he created was also imperfect.
[09:38] ---
    And god abandoned us...
[09:41] ---
    leaving us to our own demise.
[09:45] ---
    So Romdo's invasion of Mosk was...
[09:49] ---
    The depression from having lost
    our glory and greatness.
[09:52] ---
    A most reasonable act of vengeance.
[09:55] ---
    But Monad stole our light and
    sealed us up with those closed eyes.
[10:02] ---
    And thus our eyes would
    sparkle upon this land no more.
[10:06] ---
    Do you understand?
[10:07] ---
    The irony is, the Creator
    returned without us even knowing it.
[10:15] ---
    An imperfect god...
[10:18] ---
    Then we're...
[10:25] ---
    It can't be...
[10:29] ---
    We're the Creator's suffering.
[10:37] ---
    You don't have to suffer anymore.
[10:40] ---
    Come to me, Vincent.
[10:46] ---
    I'll free you from your cage of misery.
[11:08] ---
    Re-l Mayer...
[11:18] ---
    That's impossible.
[11:37] ---
    Here.
[11:39] ---
    I did what you told me to, didn't I?
[11:41] ---
    Yes.
[11:42] ---
    Daedalus Yumeno.
[11:45] ---
    You're still alive? You're more
    stubborn than I thought.
[11:49] ---
    Where are the FP shells?
[11:51] ---
    Hand them over, all of them.
[11:53] ---
    Be my guest. Go ahead and take them.
[11:56] ---
    Where did you hide them?
[11:57] ---
    Well, I forget.
[12:04] ---
    Oh, that's right. I threw them away.
[12:16] ---
    Why did you do that?!
[12:18] ---
    Because I didn't need them anymore.
[12:21] ---
    I have to kill him.
    I have to kill Vincent Law!
[12:28] ---
    As long as Real is here, I'm fine.
[12:31] ---
    You're going to sit here in denial,
[12:33] ---
    waiting for death with
    this substitute Re-l?
[12:38] ---
    Fellow citizens, throw things away.
[12:41] ---
    We don't need you anymore either.
[12:43] ---
    What?
[12:44] ---
    Your very existence has become an eyesore.
[12:48] ---
    Chief Raul, it's not beautiful.
[12:52] ---
    I will not give in to depravity.
[12:55] ---
    I will fight until the end.
[12:57] ---
    Do what you want.
[13:23] ---
    He created the alter ego
    Vincent so he could forget he was a Proxy.
[13:34] ---
    You said you weren't
    going to shoot me for now.
[13:37] ---
    So I'm giving it back to you.
[13:40] ---
    Let's go, Re-l.
[13:47] ---
    How could an immigrant... no...
[13:51] ---
    a monster like me...
[13:54] ---
    Vincent, did Romdo keep
    turning you, the Creator, away
[14:01] ---
    because that's what you
    unconsciously wished for?
[14:05] ---
    Did you set it up that way?
[14:10] ---
    If everything's by design...
[14:13] ---
    then did you show up that time so
    I would kill you when Romdo collapsed?
[14:22] ---
    Is that why I was created as well?
[14:27] ---
    That's why you appeared that time.
[14:31] ---
    And why I was irresistibly drawn to you.
[14:37] ---
    But why me?
[14:42] ---
    It must be the same for you.
[14:46] ---
    No one can choose who they're born as.
[14:52] ---
    No matter what kind of being they are.
[14:56] ---
    That's right, isn't it, Vincent?
[15:02] ---
    But now my heart
    feels like it's about to be crushed.
[15:07] ---
    Those which have supported my
    existence are leaving me...
[15:11] ---
    one by one.
[15:14] ---
    Re-l.
[15:17] ---
    Even if this is the truth for Romdo,
    it is not your ultimate truth.
[15:25] ---
    My ultimate truth?
[15:28] ---
    It is not something which
    can be told to you.
[15:31] ---
    It is something
    you must surrender to within.
[15:34] ---
    For all beings, no matter
    who or what they are,
[15:38] ---
    truth is derived from the self.
[15:41] ---
    You mean each being has its own truth?
[15:48] ---
    Re-l, there is nothing left to say.
[15:51] ---
    As long as evil and shame shall last...
[15:54] ---
    silence is our true blessing.
[15:57] ---
    Do not wake us...
[16:00] ---
    until the end.
[16:04] ---
    Simply quiet.
[16:54] ---
    Papa?
[17:02] ---
    My truth...
[17:05] ---
    I was compelled by something
    other than fear at that moment.
[17:10] ---
    Every time I've come face to
    face with you, it's grown larger.
[17:16] ---
    But, it's...
[17:48] ---
    It tickles.
[17:51] ---
    You protected me, didn't you?
[17:55] ---
    He said he was going to kill him.
    That's why.
[18:14] ---
    You know what, Papa?
[18:18] ---
    I have lots of feelings.
[18:24] ---
    I feel happy and lonely,
    all sorts of things.
[18:30] ---
    I kept going further and further away.
[18:36] ---
    But after I was separated from you,
[18:38] ---
    I realized I missed you.
[18:43] ---
    Papa, you have lots of
    feelings too, don't you?
[18:50] ---
    Will I ever see you again?
[18:56] ---
    Papa, do you miss me too?
[20:29] ---
    Donov Mayer...
[20:36] ---
    Vincent... no, Ergo Proxy.
[20:43] ---
    Did you get your memory back?
[20:46] ---
    Yes. I created this city and
    left him in charge of everything.
[20:54] ---
    Why did you come back?
[20:57] ---
    You knew I'd point my gun at you.
[21:01] ---
    That's why.
[21:04] ---
    You're going to kill me, aren't you?
[21:08] ---
    Do you mean, am I going
    to pull the trigger?
[21:12] ---
    If that's what you want.
[21:23] ---
    Why?
[21:24] ---
    Don't think I act according to your wishes.
[21:27] ---
    You don't control me.
[21:32] ---
    I've only now arrived at my ultimate truth.
[21:38] ---
    The message left in Mosk.
[21:41] ---
    The two pendants.
[21:43] ---
    That which is separated.
[21:46] ---
    He's revealed himself to us on
    several occasions.
[21:52] ---
    You're listening, aren't you?
[21:56] ---
    Vincent Law and Ergo Proxy.
[22:00] ---
    Vincent, with his
    amnesia and split personality,
[22:04] ---
    was the perfect cover.
[22:08] ---
    But my truth brought you to the surface.
[22:13] ---
    Someone else in the shadows who's
    been controlling Vincent and Ergo Proxy.
[22:20] ---
    Show yourself!
[22:23] ---
    I know you're here.
[22:35] ---
    Well done, Re-l 1-2-4-C-4-1.
[23:00] ---
    Now it's your turn to find out.
[23:39] ---
    You've finally made it here, Vincent Law.
[23:44] ---
    But can you find your way out of this maze?
[25:31] ---
    My voice can't reach him anymore.
[25:37] ---
    But trembling beneath blue skies
[25:39] ---
    Proxy
[25:40] ---
    is the awakened pulse.
