[01:36] ---
    The planet "Endless Illusion,"
[01:40] ---
    a lost soul's paradise
    where savage dreams abound.

[01:45] ---
    A butterfly flies on the
    other side of the sea.

[01:47] ---
    The beating of its wings generates a wind,
[01:50] ---
    which causes a storm in
    the lands over here.

[01:54] ---
    The whole world is connected...
[01:57] ---
    much more closely and
    violently than they think.

[02:03] ---
    "Prayers Are For Saudade"
[02:08] ---
    What about the materials
    Fasalina brought back from Missoghi?
[02:11] ---
    They've been stored in the 4th block.
[02:13] ---
    Good. That completes the enhancements.
[02:16] ---
    Monitor Team, what was
    Michael's compatibility rate?
[02:19] ---
    Mental Level Delta.
[02:27] ---
    Muttaka?
[02:28] ---
    Michael, I just heard some bad news.
[02:33] ---
    There's been a mistake and all
    the money you asked me to deposit
[02:37] ---
    was contributed to Alphaville's "Over 40
    Male Impersonator Cheerleading Team."
[02:42] ---
    We received an apple pie as a thank you.
[02:44] ---
    Shall we eat it?
[02:46] ---
    Huh? So then, you mean...
[02:48] ---
    I'm joking, Michael.
[02:51] ---
    You're too tense. Relax.
[02:54] ---
    Oh, yes.
[02:55] ---
    When we're done with this,
    Saudade will be yours entirely.
[02:58] ---
    Have fun with it!
[02:59] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:06] ---
    What am I gonna do?
[03:10] ---
    It's now registered in your name.
    Good work today, Mr. Garret.
[03:15] ---
    Stop kidding around, will you?
[03:17] ---
    No. From this moment on, you're a
    special person, even at headquarters.
[03:23] ---
    But calling me "Mr." all of a sudden...
[03:25] ---
    That's the burden of
    being an important person.
[03:28] ---
    Tomorrow we start checking
    Saudade's actual work data.
[03:31] ---
    It's different from doing the simulation.
[03:34] ---
    Domingo's team will be in charge.
[03:37] ---
    I'm Domingo. Nice to meet you.
[03:39] ---
    Nice to meet you, too. I look
    forward to working with you.
[03:44] ---
    Is something wrong?
[03:45] ---
    No, it's the first time an Original 7
    has wanted to shake my hand.
[03:49] ---
    Really?
[03:51] ---
    We still have a meeting,
[03:54] ---
    but that completes your
    work for today, Mr. Garret.
[03:58] ---
    Please, take the afternoon off.
[04:01] ---
    Well then, if you'll excuse me.
[04:19] ---
    Melissa?
[04:23] ---
    Playing hide-and-seek? Where's Carossa?
[04:26] ---
    You dropped your terminal.
[04:28] ---
    Um... I... broke it...
[04:32] ---
    The cover just came off
    and the board slipped.
[04:36] ---
    It's easy to fix.
[04:38] ---
    You always carry this with you?
[04:40] ---
    I-I get lost easily...
[04:45] ---
    Hey!
[04:47] ---
    Carossa?
[04:49] ---
    Hey, what did you do to Melissa?
[04:51] ---
    Anyone who makes my sister cry, dies!
[04:54] ---
    That's not what happened!
[04:55] ---
    She was in trouble.
[04:58] ---
    Here, it's fixed.
[05:04] ---
    Thank you.
[05:05] ---
    Melissa!
[05:07] ---
    Don't talk to him.
[05:09] ---
    Carossa...
[05:10] ---
    If there's something you
    want to say, please say it.
[05:13] ---
    Have I done something to upset you?
[05:18] ---
    Everything.
[05:20] ---
    Melissa!
[05:27] ---
    I found it!
[05:29] ---
    I found the dressing room
    and all our clothes!
[05:33] ---
    Thank goodness. I left
    the key for this thing there.
[05:37] ---
    Manson, after this we want
    to go shopping in Missoghi.
[05:41] ---
    I see. I'll make sure the store's open.
[05:44] ---
    Take care, Palikare.
[05:46] ---
    Don't worry!
[05:48] ---
    I'll make him his own bathing
    suit and dote on him like a child.
[05:51] ---
    I see. Good luck, Palikare.
[05:57] ---
    Carossa! Have I done
    something to upset you?

[06:02] ---
    Everything.
[06:03] ---
    Don't talk to him!
[06:06] ---
    Anyone who makes my sister cry, dies!
[06:15] ---
    Oh, no...
[06:16] ---
    I forgot to take it off.
[06:19] ---
    Michael's mental and
    physical health is stable.
[06:22] ---
    And, he's completed
    his studies of outer space.
[06:26] ---
    As far as Saudade, we just
    need to get the actual work data.
[06:30] ---
    We don't have any problems.
[06:31] ---
    Is that right? Michael certainly is...
[06:34] ---
    There is a problem!
[06:37] ---
    He was picking on Melissa.
[06:40] ---
    No! I broke this and he fixed it!
[06:44] ---
    Why did you say that?
[06:46] ---
    Melissa!
[06:47] ---
    Say...
[06:48] ---
    What are the heavens like, Fasalina?
[06:52] ---
    They're fine.
[06:54] ---
    Comrade, won't you
    announce the core of your plan
[06:57] ---
    at the coming meeting?
[06:59] ---
    Me?
[07:00] ---
    Yes.
[07:01] ---
    It's at least a week until
    the "Time of Happiness,"
[07:05] ---
    and a month before the
    "Genesis Celebration."
[07:07] ---
    Every group is almost
    finished with their work
[07:10] ---
    and more and more people
    are demanding an explanation.
[07:14] ---
    Perhaps if Michael had
    a deeper understanding...
[07:18] ---
    Oh, what am I going to do?
[07:21] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:23] ---
    Do I have to?
[07:25] ---
    I thought you knew I hated
    that sort of thing.
[07:28] ---
    It's embarrassing, isn't it?
[07:32] ---
    That's not going to cut it.
[07:34] ---
    We still don't have many sympathizers.
    We need to be careful.
[07:38] ---
    Some people are
    suspicious about my transfer.
[07:41] ---
    Wait any longer and we'll be in danger.
[07:42] ---
    Even without a leader?
    In order to preserve the organization...
[07:46] ---
    Then why don't you do it?
[07:47] ---
    If you don't want to, try to get
    the missing Original 7 member to.
[07:51] ---
    In any case, our Comrade must be replaced.
[08:01] ---
    Huh? The balance has grown.
[08:03] ---
    What would you like to do?
    You said the total amount, but...
[08:06] ---
    No, this will be fine.
[08:09] ---
    Wendy, you think it'll be much longer?
[08:11] ---
    If it's all right,
    we'll just go on ahead ourselves.
[08:14] ---
    I'm coming! I'm coming! Everything's fine!
[08:16] ---
    Um, if we don't go shopping...
[08:20] ---
    Um... can you hear me?
[08:26] ---
    It's pretty much the
    same as in the Kingdom.
[08:29] ---
    They were the same town originally and...
[08:31] ---
    Wendy!
[08:33] ---
    If you're wearing one for the first time,
    how about this one?
[08:36] ---
    No! It's too risque!
    And we need to save our money!
[08:40] ---
    Really? But it's rather
    plain compared to Carmen's.
[08:43] ---
    Carmen wears that kind?
[08:45] ---
    Uh-huh. I saw before.
[08:47] ---
    Not again.
[08:49] ---
    I don't feel like I've eaten.
[08:52] ---
    All right, let's get down to business.
    Where did Fasalina come from?
[08:55] ---
    I'm not sure. But she
    used a submarine tunnel
[08:58] ---
    so I imagine their
    headquarters is somewhere out there.
[09:01] ---
    Tunnel? There's an entrance there?
[09:04] ---
    Yes, the coordinates are on this memo.
[09:07] ---
    You need a key to open the entrance,
    so I don't know what's inside.
[09:11] ---
    What was it that she wanted from you?
[09:13] ---
    Oh, well...
[09:16] ---
    Hey.
[09:19] ---
    She asked me to make a
    special metallic fiber.
[09:22] ---
    Something strong and flexible.
[09:24] ---
    It especially needed to
    be extremely heat resistant.
[09:27] ---
    But I don't know what
    she wanted to use it for.
[09:33] ---
    Muttaka...
[09:36] ---
    Saudade...
[09:38] ---
    Did our Comrade tell you how
    Saudade is going to be used?
[09:42] ---
    He said it's the key to launching his plan.
[09:45] ---
    After that?
[09:46] ---
    Do you know what comes
    after "The Time of Happiness?"
[09:49] ---
    He believes that peace and
    equality will come to this place.
[09:55] ---
    I know he's not
    understood by the masses
[09:58] ---
    and may go down in
    history as an arbitrary ruler.
[10:01] ---
    But since we know what he's
    going to bring about, we need to...
[10:05] ---
    That's exactly right!
[10:07] ---
    I also thought at first that
    this was simply world conquest.
[10:12] ---
    I was ready to be branded a criminal,
[10:14] ---
    because I knew that power and fear
    were the most effective means
[10:18] ---
    of governing the world now.
[10:21] ---
    Even if it came to
    dictatorship or totalitarianism,
[10:25] ---
    my own position would be safe,
    and public order would be maintained.
[10:28] ---
    That's what I concluded, so I cooperated.
[10:32] ---
    But our Comrade's
    objective wasn't that simple.
[10:36] ---
    It was more extreme.
[10:37] ---
    Perfect peace was only possible
    in a world without any people.
[10:42] ---
    In other words, a massacre.
[10:46] ---
    In the end, love, harmony, and peace
    meant annihilating the human race.
[10:52] ---
    That's impossible! He would never...
[10:55] ---
    I analyzed Saudade's functions
    and that was the result.
[10:57] ---
    But...!
[10:58] ---
    Even your little sister will be sacrificed!
[11:02] ---
    I've already abandoned my sister
    for the sake of a larger dream.
[11:09] ---
    That's a lie!
[11:10] ---
    Then why did you ask me to help her?
[11:15] ---
    Did you discuss it with our Comrade?
    With the other "7" members?
[11:20] ---
    You haven't been completely persuaded yet.
[11:23] ---
    Still at odds with yourself.
[11:24] ---
    But it's that very
    conflict which gives hope.
[11:29] ---
    Mr. Garret...
[11:31] ---
    let's not do this.
[11:33] ---
    We can stop our Comrade's slaughter
    and bring about a new order ourselves.
[11:38] ---
    New order?
[11:41] ---
    Chief, who set the Drakul
    below to semi-auto?
[11:45] ---
    Hey, why is...
[11:52] ---
    Just like Muttaka said...
[11:54] ---
    it's much quicker using power and fear.
[11:57] ---
    You're...
[11:58] ---
    It's a peaceful way,
    compared to our Comrade.
[12:08] ---
    Coup d'etat?
[12:09] ---
    Yes, Chief Muttaka and a number
    of others in the control room.
[12:13] ---
    There's already been one casualty
    and they've taken Michael hostage.
[12:18] ---
    Michael?
[12:19] ---
    They want to negotiate with you directly.
[12:23] ---
    I see.
[12:25] ---
    First, we'll have our Comrade tell
    everyone the details of his plan.
[12:29] ---
    We'll see what happens and then decide
    whether to stay or make a run for it.
[12:32] ---
    Drakul is ready for our escape if need be.
[12:35] ---
    We should take care of him first.
[12:38] ---
    I will not be taken hostage.
    I'll kill myself!
[12:40] ---
    Do that and what about Saudade?
[12:43] ---
    It's set for your exclusive use.
[12:46] ---
    It would need to be reconfigured in
    order for another "7" member to ride it.
[12:49] ---
    And our Comrade isn't
    strong enough physically.
[12:52] ---
    In any case, without you and Saudade,
    there can be no "Time of Happiness."
[12:58] ---
    However, I don't want you to do that,
[13:01] ---
    since our goal is to stop the massacre.
[13:05] ---
    Our Comrade would never...
[13:07] ---
    Our Comrade... do you
    know what his name is?
[13:11] ---
    Why doesn't our organization have a name?
[13:14] ---
    There's no thought as to how things
    will be after he's carried out his plan.
[13:18] ---
    It's ridiculous.
[13:20] ---
    The organization will need to
    be realigned under a new leader.
[13:25] ---
    And that new leader is you!
[13:28] ---
    You're the reason that I was
    able to complete Saudade.
[13:34] ---
    Because you're the only one I believed
[13:36] ---
    capable of taking our Comrade's place.
[13:38] ---
    Mr. Garret, I've also sacrificed
    many things in order to be here.
[13:44] ---
    My hometown, my parents...
[13:47] ---
    my little sister.
[13:49] ---
    Muttaka...
[13:50] ---
    I need you so that those
    sacrifices don't go to waste.
[13:54] ---
    Given this prison planet's unnatural
    development, someone has to unify it.
[14:00] ---
    If you make a stand, our
    allies will increase!
[14:03] ---
    Our Comrade's here!
[14:05] ---
    Why are you doing this when
    it's his fault for getting captured?
[14:08] ---
    I'm the one they called for and
    Michael's important to us, isn't he?
[14:13] ---
    Comrade...?
[14:15] ---
    Hey there, we're not going to shoot,
    so won't you come out and talk?
[14:21] ---
    Break your promise and Michael's dead.
[14:24] ---
    Yes, I understand.
[14:25] ---
    All right, come here by yourself.
[14:28] ---
    Very well, here I come.
[14:30] ---
    Fasalina...
[14:31] ---
    My Dahlia is ready and waiting
    in case we need to use it.
[14:42] ---
    It's man-made, isn't it?
[14:44] ---
    Yeah, the outside is camouflage.
[14:46] ---
    But it's strange.
    There should be a large entrance.
[14:50] ---
    Then this thing must not matter.
[14:52] ---
    What? Did you find something?
[14:54] ---
    No, I think it's just a coat of arms.
[14:57] ---
    Hmm, that shape...
[15:01] ---
    That's it! The reward I've been saving!
[15:05] ---
    Those are our demands.
[15:07] ---
    If they are not accepted,
    we'll blow up Saudade.
[15:12] ---
    We've already set a large
    quantity of explosives.
[15:15] ---
    Now, we would like an answer!
[15:17] ---
    I can't do it.
[15:19] ---
    I don't have a problem with the
    announcement or who takes command,
[15:24] ---
    but changing the plan...
    that alone I cannot accept.
[15:27] ---
    It's impossible. I cannot.
[15:29] ---
    Do you really believe
    your ideal will help the world?
[15:34] ---
    Yes.
[15:35] ---
    Nonsense!
[15:35] ---
    I ran the simulation thousands of
    times and the result was always zero.
[15:39] ---
    You can't give up after thousands of times.
[15:41] ---
    You have to run it at least
    hundreds of millions of times.
[15:44] ---
    Don't tell me you're
    considering world conquest?
[15:48] ---
    That's no good. It's meaningless.
[15:52] ---
    Even with your best efforts,
    it'll only last a few hundred years.
[15:55] ---
    The mother planet's
    history proves that, doesn't it?
[15:58] ---
    Besides, even with the greatest
    Armor you wont get rid of crime.
[16:04] ---
    People are competitive creatures.
[16:08] ---
    You just have to accept it.
[16:10] ---
    That's why the mother planet fell to ruin.
[16:12] ---
    Beginning from there...
[16:13] ---
    Don't try to deceive me!
[16:14] ---
    That's no excuse for
    annihilating the human race!
[16:20] ---
    Annihilate?
[16:21] ---
    Oh, that's what you've surmised.
[16:24] ---
    That's right, because
    you're in charge of the Armor.
[16:27] ---
    Thank goodness. It's
    just a misunderstanding.
[16:29] ---
    Set your mind at ease.
[16:31] ---
    No one's going to die.
    Nothing will be destroyed.
[16:35] ---
    The world is going to become very peaceful.
[16:38] ---
    Peaceful?
[16:39] ---
    That's right.
[16:40] ---
    Let's have dinner together,
    along with Michael.
[16:43] ---
    I'll explain everything very clearly.
[16:45] ---
    That's not necessary.
    What matters is that you die.
[16:49] ---
    Wait!
[16:52] ---
    Bastard!
[16:53] ---
    Please wait.
[16:55] ---
    Let's talk this over, all right?
[16:58] ---
    There's nothing to talk about.
[17:01] ---
    I could never trust you
    and your twisted logic.
[17:04] ---
    You wont talk with me?
[17:06] ---
    That's right!
[17:07] ---
    Really? In that case...
[17:09] ---
    let's start with a handshake.
[17:12] ---
    Let's try to get along.
[17:19] ---
    True, it may not be possible to
    become friends with everyone right away...
[17:24] ---
    but wont you keep trying?
[17:27] ---
    Let go!
[17:28] ---
    Please, don't say such sad things.
[17:30] ---
    I'm just trying to share my dream with you.
[17:34] ---
    Run, Muttaka!
[17:37] ---
    Michael!
[17:38] ---
    But...
[17:40] ---
    Come on, Phase Echo!
[17:41] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:42] ---
    I love you.
[17:49] ---
    Fasalina.
[17:50] ---
    Send a pursuit team,
    and check Saudade as well, please.
[18:00] ---
    It's warm.
[18:01] ---
    See, you're the same as me after all.
[18:04] ---
    A fellow human with the same
    blood running through you.
[18:09] ---
    It'd be a shame if we didn't try to
    understand each other, wouldn't it?
[18:19] ---
    Oh no... I've done it again.
[18:22] ---
    Again...
[18:25] ---
    Michael, are you all right?
[18:27] ---
    Yes, thanks.
[18:29] ---
    Thank goodness you're safe.
[18:31] ---
    Thank you.
[18:35] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:37] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[18:40] ---
    Comrade...
[18:44] ---
    I'll be sure to fulfill my dream
    so your life will not go to waste.
[18:50] ---
    Thank you, my friend.
[18:57] ---
    Come back, Muttaka.
    Our Comrade will forgive everything.
[19:00] ---
    That's not the problem!
[19:02] ---
    For the sake of humanity,
    we must crush our Comrade's dream!
[19:07] ---
    In that case, we have
    no choice but to kill you.
[19:09] ---
    Set a course for Missoghi?
[19:11] ---
    Yes. We'll meet up with
    the missing "7" member.
[19:14] ---
    Chief! There's a pursuit craft
    5,000 meters behind us!
[19:17] ---
    Don't take the Drakul lightly!
[19:20] ---
    Saudade?
[19:22] ---
    Michael, you don't have to do this.
    Fasalina and the others can handle it.
[19:26] ---
    I apologize, but I want
    to settle this myself.
[19:31] ---
    Settle this?
[19:34] ---
    Sorry. That's not what I meant.
[19:37] ---
    I just want to be part of the
    effort in realizing your dream.
[19:40] ---
    I see.
[19:43] ---
    So, this is your answer?
[19:46] ---
    And on top of it,
    your first real battle is with me.
[19:50] ---
    Was he too young?
[19:51] ---
    Chief! We can blow it up, can't we?
[19:53] ---
    The explosives are set, right?
[20:01] ---
    I know there aren't any explosives!
[20:03] ---
    You love Armor too much to do that!
[20:14] ---
    Magnificent!
[20:16] ---
    Muttaka, you've done
    an exceptional job for us.
[20:19] ---
    Switch to manual! Attack after surfacing!
[20:22] ---
    Chief! Please give confirmation!
[20:33] ---
    It pierced us!
[20:34] ---
    It pierced us!
    Are those particle shells?
[20:35] ---
    Launch a continuous barrage and submerge!
[20:37] ---
    Missiles set!
[20:39] ---
    It's no use. That thing is special.
[20:49] ---
    Muttaka, I'm sorry.
[20:56] ---
    Chief, we need to escape!
[20:57] ---
    Chief!
[20:59] ---
    Michael, I liked you.
[21:03] ---
    Together we could have brought peace.
[21:06] ---
    But instead...!
[21:08] ---
    Say Michael, what is
    "happiness" for people?
[21:14] ---
    Huh, Michael?
[21:27] ---
    Muttaka, there is a way...
[21:30] ---
    for people to be happy, isn't there?
[21:35] ---
    No...
[21:36] ---
    Our Comrade's now the one...
[21:49] ---
    OK, start moving.
[21:52] ---
    Yes, sir. Proceeding at minimal speed.
[22:00] ---
    We're finally moving?
[22:02] ---
    Uh-huh.
[22:05] ---
    I wonder how Palikare is doing right now.
[22:07] ---
    I'm sure he's fine with Manson.
[22:09] ---
    We can't take him anyways.
[22:11] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[22:13] ---
    Now all we need to do is
    get that bastard the Claw.
[22:17] ---
    Hey, do you think there's a way to
    make everyone in the world happy?
[22:24] ---
    There must be.
[22:26] ---
    I think there is and that's why... I...
[23:56] ---
    "Prayer's End"
[23:57] ---
    Somewhere, someone we
    don't know is hurting right now.

[24:02] ---
    Even if we wanted to
    do something about it,

[24:05] ---
    we're not able to take action.
[24:07] ---
    We're not able to feel
    sorrow deep in our hearts.

[24:10] ---
    Honestly, that's how I think it is.
[24:13] ---
    But that doesn't mean we should give up.
[24:15] ---
    I want to start by
    treasuring each person I meet.

[24:19] ---
    And if we all did that...
[24:20] ---
