**[02:47] Naomi**
*Seems like the police...*
**[02:49] Naomi**
...somehow found out that Juval was killed.
**[02:52] Naomi**
They're sending in a security force.
**[02:54] Naomi**
You don't want to tangle with them.
**[02:55] Naomi**
*Get out before—*
**[02:56] Rouge**
I won't run.
**[02:58] Naomi**
*What?*
**[03:00] Rouge**
I didn't do it.
**[03:02] Naomi**
*It doesn't matter who did it!*
**[03:04] Naomi**
* The police here only want*
* an excuse to crush the CFN!*
**[03:09] Rouge**
They have an informant.
**[03:12] Naomi**
*And you think it might be Phantom Verde?*
**[03:15] Naomi**
*I guess it could be possible...*
**[03:17] Rouge**
So I won't run.
**[03:19] Rouge**
If I stay here, he'll come to me on his own.
**[03:22] Rouge**
Then I can take out Phantom Verde,
as ordered, and retrieve his id.
**[03:29] Naomi**
*Are you... really Rouge?*
**[03:33] Rouge**
I am Rouge.
**[03:36] Naomi**
*Boy, you really have grown up this time.*
**[03:41] Rouge**
*Shut up!*
**[03:42] Naomi**
Okay, fine. I'll head over—
**[03:44] Rouge**
*You don't have to!*
**[03:45] Naomi**
I *want* to.
**[03:47] Naomi**
I want to go there and help you.
Let me help you!
**[03:51] Rouge**
*Huh?*
**[03:52] Naomi**
This is my own free will talking.
**[03:55] Naomi**
Because I'm not some tool for Aletheia,
and neither are you!
**[04:02] Rouge**
Oh, fine. I'll wait for you, then.
**[04:19] Dumas**
We are at a loss without our leader.
**[04:22] Rouge**
I can imagine.
**[04:24] Dumas**
I would like to hear what happened
once more, in detail.
**[04:27] Rouge**
I'd like to hear from you, too.
**[04:30] Nean1**
There's no point asking her anything.
**[04:32] Nean1**
We should execute her right now.
**[04:34] Levi**
As I've told you many times,
we don't know yet that she's the killer.
**[04:38] Levi**
Besides...
**[04:39] Dumas**
Neans don't kill other Neans.
**[04:42] Nean1**
We're supposed to trust
an unknown Nean like her?
**[04:45] Levi**
If we just get rid of things
we're unfamiliar with,
**[04:48] Levi**
that'll make us no different
from the humans.
**[04:51] Nean1**
She might be working with the Alters!
**[04:54] Levi**
And I'm saying we need to find out
whether she is or not!
**[04:56] Dumas**
Please calm down.
**[04:59] Dumas**
Forgive us. May we begin
the interrogation now?
**[05:02] Rouge**
You will whether I agree or not, won't you?
**[05:04] Dumas**
Why were you in that place?
**[05:06] Rouge**
I was called there.
**[05:07] Dumas**
Juval invited you there himself?
**[05:09] Rouge**
I got a message.
**[05:11] Dumas**
Who delivered the message?
**[05:15] Commander**
First platoon, subdue point A.
**[05:17] Commander**
Second platoon, you will subdue point B.
**[05:20] Commander**
Apprehend all members of the CFN.
**[05:23] Commander**
Destroy them if you need to.
**[05:26] Commander**
Now, charge!
**[05:28] Nean1**
What's the problem?
**[05:29] Nean1**
Why won't you answer?
**[05:31] Levi**
If you're innocent, you need
to tell us the truth.
**[05:34] Dumas**
Are you covering for someone?
**[05:37] Dumas**
Silence won't help you, you know.
**[05:42] Dumas**
Very well. I'll start my line of questioning
over from the beginning.
**[05:46] Dumas**
What's your name?
**[05:49] Dumas**
What's your name?
**[05:51] Rouge**
Rouge Redstar.
**[05:53] Dumas**
Your date of creation?
**[05:55] Rouge**
I don't know.
**[05:56] Dumas**
Did you come here from Earth?
**[06:00] Dumas**
You're an agent of Aletheia, yes?
**[06:12] Dumas**
This is your first time coming
to this settlement, I'm sure.
**[06:15] Dumas**
What did you see?
**[06:17] Dumas**
What did you feel?
**[06:20] Dumas**
When you saw the Neans trapped here,
**[06:22] Dumas**
robbed of even their freedom to die...
**[06:27] Dumas**
Juval asked you to become
the Neans' hope, didn't he?
**[06:35] Dumas**
Did you not feel the desire to save them?
**[06:38] Rouge**
That's...
**[06:39] Dumas**
...not your job, is it?
**[06:43] Dumas**
It seems Juval was wrong about you.
**[06:46] Dumas**
You can't save the Neans.
**[06:49] Dumas**
You're just as confined as we are.
**[06:52] Dumas**
You should live more freely,
in accordance with your own desires.
**[06:57] Dumas**
Kill who you want to kill,
and save who you want to save!
**[07:02] Dumas**
If you'd done that,
**[07:04] Dumas**
maybe you could've saved
Sarah Fitzgerald, too.
**[07:07] Dumas**
You liked her singing, didn't you?
**[07:12] Rouge**
You're...
**[07:15] Levi**
No!
**[07:25] Dumas**
Look! She broke her shackles!
**[07:27] Dumas**
She tried to kill us!
**[07:29] Nean1**
Th-That's right!
**[07:31] Nean1**
She tried to attack us!
**[07:35] Nean2**
Kill her.
**[07:37] Nean3**
Kill her!
**[07:38] Levi**
Stop!
**[07:40] Rouge**
Stop this. I don't want to hurt any of you.
**[07:48] Rouge**
Move!
**[07:55] Nean4**
The security force!
**[07:57] Nean4**
Shit! Run for it!
**[08:09] Force1**
Stop right there!
**[08:13] Force**
On your knees!
**[08:17] Force3**
Third floor subdued.
**[08:23] Force4**
I've located Juval 087.
**[08:33] Nean1**
Get real!
**[08:34] Nean1**
We can't run and leave Juval here!
**[08:36] Levi**
There's no other choice now!
**[08:38] Nean5**
What are you doing? We gotta get out—
**[08:41] Force5**
Halt!
**[08:51] Rouge**
All of you run, too!
**[08:54] Levi**
Let's go, people!
**[08:58] Force6**
Halt!
**[09:02] Rion**
Rouge!
**[09:04] Rouge**
Rion?
**[09:05] Rion**
The building is surrounded.
**[09:07] Rion**
This way! Hurry!
**[09:09] Rion**
Now!
**[09:13] Naomi**
Damn it!
**[09:15] Naomi**
I lost Dumas!
**[09:21] Noid**
*Are you serious, Investigator Ash?*
**[09:23] Ash**
A security force was deployed
to the Nean settlement.
**[09:26] Ash**
That's a big deal.
**[09:27] Noid**
You think it's connected
to the suspect in red?
**[09:30] Noid**
Is this your intuition again?
**[09:32] Noid**
And how do we get inside?
**[09:34] Ash**
Who do you think we are?
**[09:36] Ash**
We're Ochrona.
**[09:38] Naomi**
Must be nice to have authority!
**[09:44] Naomi**
Why don't you let me in on this, too?
**[10:07] Rion**
This way!
**[10:13] Naomi**
The suspect in red that you're after
is inside the Nean settlement.
**[10:17] Noid**
How do you know?
**[10:19] Ash**
You're from Aletheia, aren't you?
**[10:21] Naomi**
My job is to search for the special
Nean that can take on a red form.
**[10:27] Noid**
It's a Nean?
**[10:29] Ash**
Can't you just use Aletheia's authority
to get into the settlement?
**[10:33] Naomi**
Well, see, it's a top secret mission.
**[10:35] Naomi**
So I can't be too bold about it.
**[10:37] Naomi**
But since you and I are
after the same guy...
**[10:42] Ash**
What's in it for me?
**[10:44] Naomi**
The identity of the suspect in red, maybe?
**[10:49] Ash**
I honestly loathe Aletheia...
**[10:51] Ash**
But okay. I'm in.
**[11:02] SF1**
Wait a moment!
**[11:03] SF1**
We can't open the gate without permission!
**[11:06] SF2**
We need to contact our bosses.
**[11:07] Ash**
The guy we're after is no joke!
**[11:09] Ash**
The security force could be in danger, too!
**[11:12] Ash**
It'll be too late once something happens!
**[11:14] Naomi**
The one inside the settlement
**[11:17] Naomi**
is a suspect in the killing of Roy Junghardt.
**[11:21] Naomi**
If you refuse to cooperate
with Ochrona's investigation
**[11:23] Naomi**
and let the suspect get away,
**[11:25] Naomi**
you will be expected to take responsibility.
**[11:30] SF2**
Open the gate.
**[11:34] Naomi**
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[11:39] Naomi**
I might just get drunk on power...
**[11:44] Rion**
Once you go through here,
**[11:46] Rion**
you'll be in the southern end of Wellstown.
**[11:49] Rion**
There might be guards posted,
**[11:50] Rion**
but with your abilities, you should be fine.
**[12:01] Noid**
Doesn't look like we can get any closer.
**[12:10] Ash**
Yo, Aletheia.
**[12:11] Ash**
Do you actually know who
the suspect in red is?
**[12:15] Ash**
Er...
**[12:16] Noid**
It appears she's fled.
**[12:19] Rouge**
What do you mean, "with my abilities"?
**[12:23] Rion**
Well, you're a special Nean, aren't you?
**[12:26] Rouge**
Didn't you think I was a human?
**[12:30] Rouge**
How do you know I'm a Nean?
**[12:32] Rion**
Huh?
**[12:35] Rion**
Uh... Someone in the CFN told me... I think.
**[12:41] Rouge**
You're not from the CFN.
**[12:43] Rouge**
Why were you there?
**[12:46] Rouge**
Did Juval really ask you to come get me?
**[12:51] Rouge**
You knew Juval was dead, didn't you?
**[12:55] Rouge**
You killed Juval.
**[12:58] Rouge**
I thought maybe Dumas did, but...
**[12:59] Rion**
I didn't!
**[13:05] Dumas**
Are you looking for someone?
**[13:10] Rion**
I didn't kill him!
**[13:11] Rion**
I was just told to bring you back!
**[13:14] Rouge**
By whom?
**[13:17] Rion**
I only wanted to help.
**[13:20] Rion**
If there was anything I could do,
**[13:22] Rion**
I wanted to do it.
**[13:26] Rion**
I didn't want to see him suffer.
**[13:30] Rion**
So I—
**[14:15] Rouge**
No! I'm not like you!
**[14:17] Rouge**
I'm not the same as...
**[14:26] Rouge**
What?
**[14:29] Rouge**
Code... Eve?
**[14:34] Rion**
It's your fault.
**[14:36] Rion**
I heard that Juval was
acting like a good guy
**[14:39] Rion**
while killing the Neans in his way,
**[14:41] Rion**
and that you were working for him.
**[14:43] Rouge**
N-No, I—
**[14:43] Rion**
And that your true identity
is that of a crimson devil,
**[14:46] Rion**
stained in the blood of your fellow Neans!
**[15:03] Giallon**
Honestly, I was hoping to
take out Rouge, but...
**[15:08] Giallon**
My desires are soaring now.
**[15:10] Giallon**
And you should be true to your desires!
**[15:13] Giallon**
Honest! Sincere! Straightforward!
**[15:17] Giallon**
When you want to kill,
to massacre, to destroy...
**[15:20] Giallon**
You shouldn't suppress that!
**[15:27] Giallon**
But life is an inconvenient thing
that never goes the way we want.
**[15:31] Naomi**
If you're an adult, you need
to suppress such urges.
**[15:34] Giallon**
Exactly.
**[15:35] Giallon**
So I'll just settle for an alternative!
**[15:40] Giallon**
Oh?
**[15:42] Giallon**
Looks like you're someone
who's gonna be real trouble.
**[15:53] Jung**
Rouge...
**[15:55] Jung**
Rouge.
**[16:06] Afdal**
You're still resisting?
**[16:09] Afdal**
Impressive.
**[16:11] Rouge**
You're...
**[16:14] Rion**
Doctor Afdal!
**[16:17] Rouge**
The informant Juval mentioned—
**[16:19] Rion**
The doctor isn't a bad guy!
**[16:21] Rion**
He just got caught up in this!
**[16:23] Rion**
Dumas asked him for help killing Juval!
**[16:26] Rion**
But he didn't want to... and I
couldn't let the doctor do that!
**[16:32] Rion**
Doctor... I did everything right.
**[16:36] Rion**
You're free now.
**[16:38] Rion**
Please take me with you!
**[16:40] Rion**
I want to be just like you,
**[16:42] Rion**
and help everyone, together with you.
**[16:45] Rion**
I want to be free, too!
**[16:48] Afdal**
That's all just an illusion.
**[16:51] Rion**
Huh?
**[16:52] Afdal**
It wasn't that I didn't want to,
**[16:55] Afdal**
and neither did I ask for your help.
**[16:58] Afdal**
You just assumed that
and did it all on your own.
**[17:02] Rion**
Doctor—
**[17:08] Afdal**
I'm not the man you think I am.
**[17:12] Afdal**
Getting into the settlement
and monitoring the CFN,
**[17:17] Afdal**
saving those Neans...
**[17:19] Afdal**
I was just carrying out
the task assigned to me.
**[17:25] Afdal**
Freedom is an illusion, too.
**[17:28] Afdal**
There's no such thing as
freedom in the outside world.
**[17:31] Afdal**
Humans aren't free, either.
**[17:35] Afdal**
Of course,
**[17:37] Afdal**
they don't realize it, and that might
make them more foolish than us.
**[17:51] Rouge**
Afdal!
**[17:55] Noid**
Electromagnetic interference...
**[17:56] Ash**
No doubt about it.
**[17:58] Ash**
The red jerk is here.
**[18:01] Naomi**
Rouge...
**[18:02] Giallon**
Well, it seems the show has begun.
**[18:05] Giallon**
Sadly, we won't be able
to see it, but next time,
**[18:09] Giallon**
we'll be sure to get the best seats.
**[18:13] Giallon**
Adieu, uh...
**[18:16] Giallon**
Who were you again?
**[18:18] Naomi**
Naomi. Naomi Orthmann.
**[18:23] Giallon**
Adieu, Naomi.
**[19:05] Verde**
You and I are both to be pitied.
**[19:14] MR**
This fog...
**[19:15] Verde**
Yes.
**[19:17] Verde**
This is a nerve gas
generated within my body.
**[19:22] Verde**
I never wanted to be born
in a body like this.
**[19:25] MR**
This isn't enough to...
**[19:27] Verde**
Just stop fighting it.
**[19:29] Verde**
You and I are both to be pitied.
**[19:32] MR**
We aren't the same! I don't need pity!
**[19:39] Verde**
You also desire freedom.
**[19:42] Verde**
You're just like Rion and me!
**[19:46] MR**
You're wrong...
**[19:47] Verde**
There is only one way to attain freedom.
**[19:51] MR**
You're wrong... You're wrong...
**[19:53] MR**
You're wrong!
**[20:09] Verde**
Why do you resist?
**[20:14] Verde**
Become free, Rouge!
**[20:19] Rouge**
Verde!
**[20:49] Verde**
That's right...
**[20:51] Verde**
For both you and I... to be free...
**[20:57] Verde**
