[00:41] ---
    I'm...
[00:45] ---
    Pino.
[01:02] ---
    Is anybody here? Anyone?
[01:06] ---
    Pino? Where is everyone?
[01:18] ---
    This place is...
[01:21] ---
    Vince!
[01:23] ---
    Pino!
[01:26] ---
    Pino?
[01:30] ---
    Who are you?
[01:31] ---
    Welcome to the place...
[01:33] ---
    where the sun originates.
[03:24] ---
    I thought I was in Charos.
[03:27] ---
    You were lying there
    passed out when I arrived.
[03:32] ---
    I brought you here.
[03:34] ---
    Lying there?
[03:36] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:40] ---
    I'm Kazkis Hauer, master of this tower.
[03:45] ---
    You must be confused
    because you just woke up.
[03:48] ---
    Who else survived besides me?
[03:52] ---
    How could anyone else have survived?
[04:06] ---
    Come here.
[04:08] ---
    I'll give you a treat.
[04:12] ---
    Shards of Brilliance
[04:14] ---
    She's an infected AutoReiv.
[04:16] ---
    AutoReiv?
[04:18] ---
    They're machine-based.
[04:21] ---
    A machine?
[04:25] ---
    Pino!
[04:28] ---
    Sorry, looks like she's feeling shy.
[04:31] ---
    They say she's a child on the inside...
[04:33] ---
    but even so, I don't know
    why she's treating you like that...
[04:36] ---
    after you rescued us.
[04:39] ---
    Why did you help us?
[04:49] ---
    Because you're my friend.
[04:52] ---
    Friend?
[04:53] ---
    All of us who know this far
    corner of the world are friends.
[04:58] ---
    This far corner of the world?
[05:01] ---
    The world you saw...
[05:03] ---
    and the world you will see...
[05:05] ---
    Your eyes are staring at death.
[05:09] ---
    You're probably right...
[05:12] ---
    since surviving means
    seeing so much death.
[05:19] ---
    My friends died too.
[05:21] ---
    I've been on my own for a long time.
[05:23] ---
    But, why?
[05:25] ---
    Why have I survived?
[05:30] ---
    It was fate.
[05:33] ---
    I'm so glad you made it this far.
[05:39] ---
    Hop, hop, step.
[05:41] ---
    Hop, step, step.
[05:45] ---
    That hurts.
[06:04] ---
    The place where the sun originates, huh?
[06:08] ---
    I haven't seen this sort
    of sight in a long time.
[06:13] ---
    Pino?
[06:15] ---
    What's wrong? Look, it's like a maze.
[06:19] ---
    Hey, what's wrong?
[06:22] ---
    Come on!
[06:22] ---
    What is it?
    Come on!
[06:26] ---
    What the heck are these things?
[06:40] ---
    What are they doing here?
[06:45] ---
    Let's go back to the Rabbit, Vince.
[06:56] ---
    I don't like it here.
    Let's hurry up and leave.
[07:03] ---
    It's scary. We can't stay here.
[07:06] ---
    Come on, let's go look for the Rabbit.
[07:10] ---
    All right, guess I'll go by myself then.
[07:21] ---
    But he saved us.
[07:28] ---
    Would you like some too?
[07:29] ---
    No, thank you.
[07:31] ---
    You haven't touched your plate.
[07:34] ---
    Um, the AutoReivs I saw...
[07:40] ---
    Oh, you mean the Knights?
[07:43] ---
    Were they fighting with Charos?
[07:45] ---
    They killed lots of people in Charos?
[07:49] ---
    So what?
[07:53] ---
    War has always been
    about winners and losers.
[07:56] ---
    A matter of life and death.
[07:58] ---
    No war has ever
    started without awareness of this.
[08:01] ---
    But there's no point for
    you to keep on attacking Charos.
[08:05] ---
    War is pointless.
[08:07] ---
    But there is meaning in being destroyed.
[08:11] ---
    You saw the end of Charos, didn't you?
[08:15] ---
    What Senex looked like...
[08:17] ---
    Senex...
[08:20] ---
    She was Charos's...
[08:26] ---
    Why are you so fixated on Charos?
[08:29] ---
    The people there needed to be cleansed.
[08:31] ---
    That's why you fought?
[08:33] ---
    Are you kidding?
[08:36] ---
    Left behind, during a long sleep,
    they tried to find meaning.
[08:42] ---
    But they shied away
    from their abandonment and
[08:46] ---
    found a way to live
    through mutual destruction.
[08:50] ---
    Before long, the world was in chaos
    and even death had lost its meaning
[08:54] ---
    in their feeble minds.
[08:57] ---
    I get angry just thinking
    about the fact that
[09:00] ---
    their intentions existed
    in the first place.
[09:04] ---
    Those miserable creatures.
[09:11] ---
    No, maybe we should be
    begging for forgiveness.
[09:13] ---
    You and me.
[09:16] ---
    Me?
[09:18] ---
    Wait a second. What did I do?
    I didn't do anything,
[09:21] ---
    yet I'm constantly tormented by something.
[09:24] ---
    Then I ended up coming here.
[09:26] ---
    There you have it.
[09:28] ---
    It's hard not doing anything,
    not being able to do anything.
[09:34] ---
    It was the same for me.
[09:36] ---
    You too?
[09:37] ---
    I was disgusted with myself
    for not being able to do anything.
[09:41] ---
    Showered with my own insults,
[09:44] ---
    I couldn't find peace of
    mind, even when I slept.
[09:47] ---
    Without a purpose,
    I simply counted the minutes
[09:49] ---
    and suffered as my long life dragged on.
[09:53] ---
    I suffered just as you do.
[09:57] ---
    It's the same...
[09:59] ---
    I love you the same way I loved Senex.
[10:14] ---
    You loved Senex?
[10:17] ---
    I'll tell you about us.
[10:20] ---
    If my Asura were the sun,
    then Charos would be the moon.
[10:24] ---
    Senex and I each built
    companion towers to serve witness
[10:29] ---
    to the vows we
    would exchange when we awoke.
[10:33] ---
    Do you understand what I'm saying?
[10:36] ---
    Senex and I both came to see
[10:40] ---
    the way of grief, and for that we suffered.
[10:42] ---
    And for that, we came
    to have an unshakeable love.
[10:46] ---
    But... Senex died before
    we exchanged our vows.
[10:51] ---
    You killed her.
[10:53] ---
    No...
[10:55] ---
    But that's all right. Vows hold
    little weight in the eyes of fate.
[11:00] ---
    Rather, I feel honored to
    have met you in this way.
[11:04] ---
    Let us be grateful for your power.
[11:07] ---
    What are you insinuating?!
[11:10] ---
    What's the matter?
[11:11] ---
    I killed her?!
[11:14] ---
    I could never have done that!
[11:17] ---
    What do you mean? Senex was...
[11:18] ---
    Please stop!
[11:20] ---
    You are...
[11:21] ---
    I don't know anything.
[11:23] ---
    You're playing games, aren't you?
[11:26] ---
    What are you saying we are?
[11:29] ---
    Please...
[11:30] ---
    tell me it's true!
[11:33] ---
    What the hell are you?
[11:35] ---
    How can you say that,
[11:36] ---
    Why do you keep tormenting me?
[11:36] ---
    Knowing we share the same grief?
[11:40] ---
    Why?
[11:41] ---
    I don't know anything!
[11:47] ---
    Don't tell me he's lost his memory!
[12:04] ---
    Did he kill my Senex
    without even knowing it?
[12:46] ---
    Why?
[12:47] ---
    This is my Asura as it really is.
[12:51] ---
    You saw this, right?
[12:55] ---
    It's just a monument.
[12:58] ---
    The citizens built it so that
    future generations would know
[13:01] ---
    how Asura was in the old days.
[13:04] ---
    But it's worthless.
[13:06] ---
    What happened to the citizens here?
[13:08] ---
    They were completely wiped out.
[13:09] ---
    Exterminated by the Knights.
[13:12] ---
    What?!
[13:13] ---
    Charos and Asura are one.
[13:16] ---
    The citizens all died in the war,
    and only the Knights remained.
[13:20] ---
    Then what about the Charosian soldiers?
[13:23] ---
    They are a false people.
[13:26] ---
    Through death, nothing's
    existence returns to nothing.
[13:29] ---
    But they were alive!
[13:33] ---
    The living have no choice
    but to go on living.
[13:36] ---
    People?
[13:38] ---
    We're lucky now that
    all life is dead and gone.
[13:43] ---
    Why? Aren't you the master of this place?
[13:48] ---
    You really are a fool.
[13:50] ---
    Have you lost your eye for
    truth as well as your memory?
[13:54] ---
    I remember things just fine.
[13:55] ---
    Then who are you?
[13:59] ---
    See if you can tell me who you are.
[14:01] ---
    I'm Vincent Law.
[14:04] ---
    I worked at Romdo's Disposal Facilities...
[14:07] ---
    but I was charged with
    treason and fled from the dome.
[14:11] ---
    Before that?
[14:12] ---
    I was an emigrant in the Mosk dome.
[14:15] ---
    What did you do in Mosk?
[14:17] ---
    What did I do?
[14:21] ---
    You don't remember, do you?
[14:23] ---
    Despite your vague memory,
    you've lived till now without doubts.
[14:28] ---
    That itself is undeniable proof
[14:31] ---
    that you intentionally
    erased your memory, is it not?
[14:34] ---
    Erased my memory?
[14:36] ---
    You said you were in Mosk?
[14:38] ---
    Yes, it's my hometown.
[14:40] ---
    I see.
[14:41] ---
    You must have transferred
    your memories over to Monad.
[14:46] ---
    But it was too much to absorb.
[14:51] ---
    Monad probably couldn't
    handle it, but accepted it anyways.
[14:54] ---
    Because Monad loved you, right?
[14:57] ---
    But in this display of
    love, Monad lost you.
[15:02] ---
    No, not only Monad.
[15:04] ---
    You lost yourself as well.
[15:07] ---
    Erasing the memories etched into oneself is
[15:11] ---
    the same as losing oneself.
[15:14] ---
    What are you saying?
[15:16] ---
    I'm saying you're a traitor.
[15:19] ---
    A traitor? Since when...?
[15:22] ---
    You ran away in the most
    shameful manner, as a Proxy.
[15:27] ---
    Proxy?
[15:29] ---
    But even more unforgivable than that...
[15:32] ---
    you killed my beloved
    Senex, you amnesiac!
[15:44] ---
    I am the agent of brilliance...
[15:47] ---
    Kazkis Proxy.
[15:49] ---
    On my honor, I will annihilate the traitor.
[16:19] ---
    What's wrong?
[16:20] ---
    Even though you erased
    your memory and lost yourself,
[16:22] ---
    you still have your instincts, don't you?
[16:25] ---
    If you think about it,
[16:26] ---
    the ones who've gone
    mad are the most endearing.
[16:29] ---
    Senex...
[16:30] ---
    If that's the case, let me go
    mad along with my memories of you.
[16:37] ---
    Sorry, did that hurt?
[16:55] ---
    The Rabbit!
[17:34] ---
    What's going on?
[17:38] ---
    My arm!
[17:50] ---
    Help me!
[17:52] ---
    It hurts!
[17:57] ---
    Am I a monster? No, I'm a...
[18:02] ---
    You're a Proxy.
[18:06] ---
    A Proxy?
[18:08] ---
    Oh, what is it I'm feeling?
[18:12] ---
    I'm revolted, nauseated.
[18:17] ---
    Yes, that's it. It's you.
[18:20] ---
    You're... you're...!
[18:23] ---
    I'll give you one last chance to tell me.
[18:25] ---
    You are the agent of what?
[18:30] ---
    You can't answer?
[18:32] ---
    Then die!
[18:37] ---
    Go ahead and run. But you're in a trap...
[18:41] ---
    just like me!
[18:44] ---
    98 rabbits, 99 rabbits...
[18:47] ---
    100 rabbits!
[18:50] ---
    All right, I've counted to 100.
    I'm leaving Vince now.
[19:00] ---
    50 more!
[19:02] ---
    101 rabbits...
[19:04] ---
    102 rabbits...
[19:06] ---
    103 rabbits...
[19:26] ---
    This one's no good.
[19:28] ---
    It's not fragrant.
[19:31] ---
    Ah, this one's bad too.
    It's got a coarse and sour taste.
[19:35] ---
    Not a decent one left.
    They're all low-grade piss.
[19:40] ---
    Tell me.
[19:41] ---
    What the hell is a Proxy?
[19:44] ---
    How can you ask that after
    you wiped out your own memory?
[19:48] ---
    Am I a Proxy?
[19:51] ---
    Why do I have to fight?
[19:54] ---
    Why did you come back?
    Because you want to kill me, right?
[19:58] ---
    No.
[20:00] ---
    It is time for awakening.
[20:01] ---
    I don't want to hurt anyone.
[20:04] ---
    Then who killed Senex?
[20:08] ---
    Is Senex the only one you've killed?
[20:24] ---
    You've lost your mission
    and the thing you love
[20:27] ---
    so why do you want to live so badly?
[20:30] ---
    Why not die here?
[20:37] ---
    Senex, I wanted to see
    you again while you were alive.
[20:41] ---
    I will settle your score.
[21:15] ---
    Why is this happening to me?
[21:21] ---
    I'll ask one more time.
[21:22] ---
    You are the agent of what?
[21:31] ---
    My name is Ergo Proxy.
    I am the agent of death.
[21:38] ---
    Really?
[21:44] ---
    Go ahead and suffer.
[21:46] ---
    All those who wander
    in darkness seek the light.
[21:51] ---
    But when they reach the light, they avert
    their eyes from the blinding glare.
[21:56] ---
    They can even sense the pain.
    Truth is like that too.
[22:00] ---
    Someday your eyes will
    be burned by the light of truth
[22:05] ---
    and you will know eternal darkness.
[22:07] ---
    That is the judgment.
[22:23] ---
    Senex...
[22:35] ---
    I'm not human?
[22:39] ---
    Then ...
[22:41] ---
    how can I go on living?
[22:45] ---
    400 rabbits...
[22:55] ---
    Vince!
[22:57] ---
    Pino.
[22:58] ---
    Are you hurt?
[23:00] ---
    No.
[23:03] ---
    No, it's not my blood.
[23:06] ---
    Oh, it's the other one's.
[23:10] ---
    Not you, the other Vince's, right?
[23:13] ---
    Welcome back.
[23:17] ---
    You knew about it?
[23:27] ---
    Let's go to Mosk.
[23:37] ---
    You weren't afraid of me?
[23:40] ---
    Afraid?
[23:41] ---
    But you always help me.
[23:44] ---
    Is that so?
[23:48] ---
    We can't see it...
[23:50] ---
    but from the moment we leapt from Romdo,
[23:54] ---
    it went into motion.
[25:31] ---
    It can be seen, it can be said,
    it can be heard.
[25:34] ---
    See nothing, say nothing, hear nothing.
[25:36] ---
    That's a lullaby for adults.
[25:39] ---
    Huh? But where am I? Hey...
[25:40] ---
    Existence
