[00:15] ---
Escape
[00:17] ---
On this wind,
[00:19] ---
I let my tears ride
[00:21] ---
Speeding up until they dry
[00:26] ---
I can fly over and go on
[00:29] ---
I just know that the answer
[00:32] ---
Is out there, on the far side of that distant sky
[00:42] ---
In this place, where I can't find the answer
[00:47] ---
I sigh and look at the sky
[00:52] ---
Shining deep in these eyes suffused in blue
[00:58] ---
Is a dreamer, who can go anywhere
[01:01] ---
That's me, you see
[01:03] ---
Escape
[01:04] ---
On this wind,
[01:07] ---
I let my wish ride
[01:09] ---
My outstretched hands paint the future
[01:14] ---
I'm not afraid anymore
[01:17] ---
Of the trace of tears
[01:20] ---
Suffused in rainbow colors, I fly on
[01:30] ---
To the far side of that sky
[01:54] ---
A Scub Burst occurred in the
suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona.
[01:58] ---
That was eight hours ago.
[01:59] ---
The US military made a concerted
effort to intercept the Secret,
[02:04] ---
but the operation ended in failure.
[02:07] ---
This is the first time, right?
That a Scub showed up in America?
[02:10] ---
Is it?
[02:13] ---
Scub Bursts themselves have occurred
several times within the US.
[02:17] ---
--However, no appearance has been confirmed
--If their operation failed...
[02:20] ---
--in the last ten years.
--...is it going to come?
[02:22] ---
--The first Scub Burst to occur in the US was...
--A request from America for us to mobilize?
[02:25] ---
I doubt that country will
seek Generation Bleu's help.
[02:29] ---
Well, that's a separate issue.
[02:31] ---
It's not as if there aren't ways around that.
[02:46] ---
Team Pied Piper is currently
[02:48] ---
on standby in Mexico across
the border from Arizona.
[02:52] ---
Now, as the state governor, you just
have to invoke your state's authority
[02:55] ---
and issue a request for us to mobilize.
[02:57] ---
It's simple, isn't it?
[03:00] ---
The simpler the matter, the more
opposing opinions there are.
[03:05] ---
This is where I'd like to take my time
and thoroughly consider my options.
[03:11] ---
After you've kept us waiting
all this time? That's just not right!
[03:16] ---
What do you think, Rebecka?
[03:19] ---
It's nice to see you looking so well.
[03:21] ---
Yes.
[03:22] ---
Hey, what's this?
[03:24] ---
If you work directly under your CEO,
[03:26] ---
then you must know.
[03:28] ---
That she was assigned to her post from above.
[03:31] ---
What about it?
[03:32] ---
As you know, Generation Bleu's parent company
[03:36] ---
is the largest PR firm in the United States.
[03:39] ---
The truth is, I was also with
them before I got into politics.
[03:44] ---
She and I worked there together.
[03:47] ---
We had the best possible partnership.
[03:52] ---
Our greatest accomplishment
[03:55] ---
was wiping an entire country off the map.
[04:00] ---
Smoldering antagonism between two
ethnic groups in the Balkan Peninsula
[04:04] ---
turned into a full-blown conflict
when a Scub Burst occurred.
[04:08] ---
The side that lost ended up with
their very country dismantled.
[04:13] ---
With not a single country in
the world coming to their defense.
[04:17] ---
I know that story.
[04:20] ---
That country was trying to commit genocide.
[04:23] ---
Defend them? Please.
[04:28] ---
The genocide was nothing more than an illusion
[04:31] ---
manufactured by us, the PR firm.
[04:33] ---
What?!
[04:34] ---
There was no good or evil side in that conflict.
[04:37] ---
Hey...
[04:38] ---
But the world will not act unless a
distinction is made between good and evil.
[04:43] ---
And you had a hand in that?
[04:47] ---
You haven't changed.
[04:49] ---
And you have?
[04:52] ---
I would like to think that I have.
[04:54] ---
That's impossible.
[04:57] ---
What you did then is no
different than what you do now.
[05:01] ---
In fact, even now,
[05:03] ---
you're working behind the scenes,
trying to get me to take action.
[05:10] ---
Noa...
[05:11] ---
You're not supposed to be here.
[05:17] ---
The Pied Piper of Hamelin...
[05:19] ---
That story about the violinist?
[05:21] ---
No, wrong.
[05:23] ---
The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a
folktale based on actual events
[05:28] ---
--I wonder why our team is named
--that occurred in Germany.
[05:30] ---
for the pied piper of Hamelin.
[05:32] ---
The person who came up with the name was...
[05:34] ---
...the Chief, wasn't it?
[05:37] ---
Why?
[05:38] ---
No idea.
[05:39] ---
Continuing on!
[05:41] ---
I will explain the different
interpretations of this story.
[05:45] ---
One interpretation is that the
pied piper is the grim reaper,
[05:48] ---
and that the story is a metaphor
for the high death toll of children
[05:52] ---
due to a plague or some other cause.
[05:54] ---
There is a separate theory
[05:55] ---
that it represents the participation
of children in a pilgrimage,
[05:58] ---
or some military action,
or possibly the Children's Crusade.
[06:04] ---
Furthermore, in the latter
half of the twentieth century,
[06:06] ---
a theory has been set forth
[06:08] ---
that the children left the
town of their own accord.
[06:12] ---
Several villages and cities founded
in Eastern Europe during this period
[06:17] ---
show evidence of having been
developed by the children of Hamelin.
[06:21] ---
--I didn't know he was still talking.
[06:21] ---
--It is surmised that the pied piper was their leader...
[06:24] ---
The US military is on the move.
[06:28] ---
They've begun their second wave of attack.
[06:48] ---
A direct attack initiated by infantry?
[06:52] ---
The ZOA area created by this Secret
is believed to be extremely large.
[06:57] ---
Their primary attack force approached
it carelessly and was wiped out.
[07:01] ---
With their inexperience in anti-Secret combat,
[07:04] ---
they would want to avoid further IFO losses.
[07:08] ---
And so, they thought,
[07:10] ---
if the Secret reacts to IFOs and other aircraft,
[07:14] ---
they should just approach it
with flesh and blood soldiers.
[07:21] ---
I'm leaving my post.
[07:24] ---
Where do you think you're going?
[07:26] ---
I'll rendezvous with the US
forces deployed at the site
[07:30] ---
and directly offer my advice to them.
[07:32] ---
Hey, now. Don't joke like that.
[07:34] ---
You're an employee of this company.
[07:37] ---
I'm taking independent action.
You'll have to forgive me.
[07:40] ---
Hey, wait! Ivica!
[07:49] ---
Once we cross the border,
[07:51] ---
fabricate an identification code
and dodge immigrations.
[07:54] ---
It can be done, but it will be against the law.
[07:57] ---
As stipulated under United States
Immigration Control Law, Section--
[08:00] ---
Save the unnecessary chitchat.
[08:02] ---
Roger that, Sir.
[08:06] ---
Sorry about this.
[08:08] ---
I'm the one who volunteered.
[08:10] ---
And either way, you need a driver, right?
[08:13] ---
Besides...
[08:15] ---
What is it?
[08:16] ---
I thought it was unusual.
[08:19] ---
For you to defy our CEO and the others.
[08:21] ---
Even the US military isn't foolish
enough to set up an operation
[08:24] ---
based on an off-the-cuff idea.
[08:26] ---
Their tactic of sending in
infantry against the Secret
[08:30] ---
must have been considered in advance.
[08:33] ---
Then, they're basing it on evidence
from an experiment or something?
[08:36] ---
I have a bad feeling about this.
[08:39] ---
You, too, right?
[08:56] ---
Chief! Over there!
[09:14] ---
We are Generation Bleu.
[09:16] ---
You should have orders to evacuate.
[09:19] ---
What are you doing here?
[09:24] ---
Chief, something's wrong.
[09:26] ---
Yeah.
[09:27] ---
That man is crazy!
[09:29] ---
That bastard made threats to gather us here!
[09:32] ---
Why are you doing this?!
[09:35] ---
Through your sacrifice,
[09:37] ---
the truth about the Secrets will be revealed.
[09:43] ---
Truth...
[09:48] ---
--Give Naru back!
[09:49] ---
--Ao!
[10:13] ---
It seems the second wave of attack
has ended in failure as well.
[10:20] ---
They say they were met
with an unexpected attack
[10:23] ---
and the unit was wiped out.
[10:25] ---
So? You're finally interested
in talking to us seriously?
[10:30] ---
What unexpected attack?
[10:33] ---
I haven't received the details yet, either.
[10:39] ---
Now...
[10:40] ---
The authority to decide whether
to request aid from Generation Bleu
[10:45] ---
still lies with me...
[10:48] ---
After everything that's happened,
you're still going at it?!
[11:04] ---
Truth!
[11:08] ---
I can't believe this!
[11:10] ---
What's going on?
[11:12] ---
Chief, where'd that bastard...
[11:18] ---
What is this?
[11:22] ---
Did that bastard do this?
[11:41] ---
Hide inside the building!
[11:44] ---
Everyone! Hurry! Inside the building!
[11:46] ---
Stay calm!
[11:49] ---
Secrets only react against
fighter planes and IFOs!
[11:53] ---
But against flesh-and-blood humans...
[12:08] ---
W-We can do this.
[12:12] ---
What?
[12:42] ---
What are you doing?! Pull it together!
[12:55] ---
Secrets are not anything like
what you people think they are.
[13:03] ---
Those things are still looking for us.
[13:05] ---
Hurry up and call for help!
[13:07] ---
We can't contact our main unit unless
we can get back to our choppers.
[13:12] ---
It's okay. It's going to be okay.
[13:16] ---
No matter what happens,
Mommy will protect you.
[13:21] ---
The Secret attacked humans?!
[13:24] ---
Yes, that's right.
[13:25] ---
After being attacked by the infantry unit,
[13:28] ---
it seems the Secret learned to
identify humans themselves as hostile.
[13:31] ---
It doesn't discriminate,
regardless of the shape of the weapon.
[13:35] ---
So this is the unexpected attack
that he was talking about.
[13:38] ---
And what about Ao and the Chief?
[13:41] ---
We haven't heard from them.
[13:42] ---
At any rate, speed up the
negotiations with the governor.
[13:45] ---
I'll leave it entirely up to you what
conditions you compromise on.
[13:51] ---
Conditions...
[13:53] ---
This isn't like you.
[13:56] ---
What are you so panicked about?
[13:59] ---
I am not panicking.
[14:02] ---
So this is about Ivica.
[14:07] ---
I've heard about that guy's homeland.
[14:25] ---
I've brought you to a terrible place.
[14:28] ---
I'm sorry.
[14:39] ---
I'm the one who named the team Pied Piper.
[14:43] ---
My homeland no longer exists.
[14:49] ---
We'd neglected the importance of information,
[14:51] ---
and before we realized it,
the entire world had turned against us.
[14:56] ---
Both my wife and child died,
caught in the fighting.
[15:00] ---
Many other lives were lost as well.
[15:04] ---
But I have no right to blame our enemy.
[15:08] ---
Because we did the same thing.
[15:11] ---
I took Generation Bleu's offer
in order to atone for that.
[15:16] ---
But only children could pilot the IFOs.
[15:21] ---
The pied piper is me.
[15:24] ---
I play my pipe and send you kids into battle.
[15:29] ---
But the pied piper will
never allow you kids to die.
[16:03] ---
I will serve as bait.
[16:05] ---
Use that opportunity to
lead everyone out of here!
[16:08] ---
But if you do that...!
[16:13] ---
Ao!
[16:44] ---
I-I did it!
[16:46] ---
What were you thinking?!
[16:51] ---
It was an experiment.
[16:53] ---
Experiment?
[16:55] ---
Upstairs, I saw mannequins
that had been destroyed.
[16:59] ---
Mannequins?
[17:02] ---
Could it be that those things
identify humans by shape?
[17:07] ---
That's what I thought, too,
so I did that experiment.
[17:10] ---
That was beyond reckless!
[17:12] ---
Because...
[17:15] ---
...I don't want to see any more people die.
[17:24] ---
Everyone, trust us and follow our lead.
[17:27] ---
Between the Chief and me, we can
get you all out of here for sure!
[17:31] ---
Because we're Pied Piper!
[17:45] ---
Everyone, follow after me.
[17:58] ---
Let me talk to him alone.
[18:00] ---
Hey.
[18:02] ---
Please.
[18:18] ---
We had the power to erase an entire country.
[18:25] ---
You are not going to tell me
that things have changed.
[18:31] ---
This time, we'll be the ones
to manipulate the world.
[18:35] ---
I don't mind issuing the request
for Generation Bleu to mobilize.
[18:39] ---
However...
[18:41] ---
I've got some conditions.
[18:43] ---
From now on, Generation Bleu will support my--
[18:53] ---
You were saying about conditions?
[18:57] ---
The Arizona state governor
has requested our mobilization.
[19:00] ---
The Triton will take off at once.
[19:02] ---
After picking up Ivica, Rebecka,
and Ao, destroy the Secret.
[19:10] ---
Get away from here as quickly as
you can and get everyone to safety.
[19:14] ---
Roger.
[19:16] ---
And again, Generation Bleu has our
gratitude for the aid you've given us.
[19:21] ---
The Triton is approaching.
[19:24] ---
So they managed to get
the mobilization request.
[19:27] ---
We have to hurry up and defeat the Secret.
[19:29] ---
If that thing gets into the
urban area, it'll be a disaster.
[19:33] ---
I've got an idea, too.
[19:44] ---
We're already inside the ZOA at this distance?
[19:46] ---
Are we at the rendezvous point yet?
[19:48] ---
Just a little farther!
[19:57] ---
Here it comes!
[20:05] ---
Just as we thought,
[20:06] ---
they've recognized the
human-shaped Nirvash as hostile.
[20:17] ---
Damn it! I can't get through to the Secret!
[20:25] ---
As we feared, he can't get close to it.
[20:27] ---
But there is a way.
[20:31] ---
Can you both hear me?
[20:32] ---
When that thing releases its options,
[20:35] ---
it opens its mouth, and that's our chance!
[20:37] ---
Hit it with all the firepower you've got!
[20:39] ---
But how...
[20:41] ---
Leave it to me!
[20:42] ---
Chief, you're not going to...
[20:47] ---
Chief!
[20:59] ---
Good! Now!
[21:30] ---
Chief...
[21:39] ---
Never speak lightly of her past again.
[21:44] ---
Not even to Rebecka herself.
[21:48] ---
So, nothing gets by you, huh?
[21:51] ---
People change.
[21:53] ---
That's all there is to it.
[21:57] ---
Don't get the wrong idea.
[21:59] ---
She's only hung up on you
out of her sense of guilt.
[22:03] ---
What are you talking about?
[22:12] ---
What's wrong?
[22:16] ---
These children need their pied piper.
[22:20] ---
Please don't act recklessly.
[22:23] ---
The pied piper, huh?
[22:26] ---
The ones playing the pipe...
[22:28] ---
...may actually have been the children.
[22:34] ---
"To Be Continued"
[22:35] ---
To be continued!
[22:39] ---
The pounding beat of my heart
[22:45] ---
Had become a familiar part
of me before I knew it
[22:51] ---
Even if there's a stiff wind blowing
[22:57] ---
I'll always be looking ahead, eyes wide open
[23:03] ---
If you ever feel like crying, remember
[23:11] ---
The promise we silently swore to one another
[23:17] ---
The song of a fledgling taking wing
[23:23] ---
Even now, still unable to fly well
[23:28] ---
But over time that comes and goes
[23:34] ---
Single-mindedly
[23:37] ---
Following those joined hands
[23:40] ---
"So I never let you go!!" Those words
[23:46] ---
Even if they only vanish into the sky
[23:52] ---
Inside the scattering lights
[23:58] ---
Unwaveringly
[24:00] ---
I know I can find you
[24:07] ---
"Preview"
[24:12] ---
Next time on Eureka Seven AO.
[24:14] ---
Tiny intruders bring the
girl's past to the surface.
[24:18] ---
Soon, her other aspect reflected
in the mirror begins to stir.
[24:22] ---
As her real self continues to waver,
[24:24] ---
who will be the one to grasp
the truth in her hands?
[24:27] ---
Eureka Seven AO, Episode 11.
[24:33] ---
Hear the cry of the children of the stars.
