[00:28] Miorine
    We're so close to Earth...
[00:30] Guel
    You've always wanted to go there, right?
[00:33] Guel
    Aren't you happy?
[00:34] Miorine
    Now's not the time to enjoy it.
[00:37] Kenanji
    Well, I hate being on Earth.
[00:40] Kenanji
    I'm a big guy, right?
[00:42] Kenanji
    Earth's gravity is just so...
[00:44] Kenanji
    uncomfortable.
[00:46] Kenanji
    Now then, one more time before we land...
[00:51] Guel
    I don't know about that guy.
[00:53] Miorine
    Don't you hate being
    back on Earth even more?
[00:57] Guel
    I just want to check out
    the situation there once again.
[01:01] Guel
    With my own eyes.
[01:02] Miorine
    Are you really the same Guel Jeturk?
[01:04] Guel
    Plus, I can't trust you
    to handle the negotiations alone.
[01:07] Miorine
    Excuse me?!
[01:09] Miorine
    What's that supposed to mean?
[01:11] Godoy
    I've sent the coordinates.
[01:13] Godoy
    I've already verified it, too.
[01:15] Prospera
    I'm grateful you have so many friends.
[01:18] Godoy
    Meanwhile, the Assembly League
    may have sniffed us out.
[01:23] Prospera
    The wait is over.
[01:24] Prospera
    Please proceed with preparations.
[01:27] Godoy
    Yes, ma'am.
[03:02] Aliya
    Still no luck?
[03:03] Lilique
    She says she has no appetite.
[03:05] Ojelo
    Didn't she make up with Miorine?
[03:09] Nuno
    She skipped all her classes, too.
    Looks like they're through.
[03:14] Chuchu
    Why'd it turn out like this, damn it?!
[03:17] Till
    The stables haven't been cleaned.
[03:19] Till
    Where's Martin?
[03:21] Secelia
    Do it evenly, or I'll rat you out.
[03:24] Martin
    I have nothing to hide.
[03:26] Secelia
    But the girl you turned in...
[03:28] Secelia
    What was her name?
[03:29] Rouji's Haro
    LM236, Nika Nanaura.
[03:32] Secelia
    Maybe she'll come for revenge.
[03:34] Secelia
    Should you be sleeping
    with one eye open?
[03:37] Secelia
    Thinking of you underdogs biting
    at each other... It makes me laugh.
[03:41] Martin
    Damn right, we're underdogs!
[03:43] Martin
    People like you at the top
    of the heap would never understand!
[03:46] Martin
    I couldn't allow Earth House's
    position to get any worse.
[03:50] Martin
    As the head of the House, I--
[03:51] Secelia
    You didn't want to get
    mixed up in any trouble.
[03:54] Secelia
    You realize that you gave up
    trying to hear her out.
[03:58] Secelia
    That's why you can't
    confess to those around you.
[04:00] Secelia
    Am I wrong?
[04:04] Martin
    You're right.
[04:05] Martin
    I gave up on talking to Nika.
[04:08] Martin
    I failed as House leader.
[04:11] Martin
    But even so, at that moment,
    I really, truly thought
[04:14] Martin
    it was the best way to protect every--
[04:17] Secelia
    Just say that, then.
[04:19] Secelia
    It's annoying to see
    an underdog being so stubborn.

    To all passengers from

[04:36] Lobby Announcement A
    As per the Earth Sphere

[04:38] Lobby Announcement A
    please proceed to the section
    for a bio-security check.
[04:44] Lobby Announcement A
    If you are carrying anything

[04:47] Lobby Announcement A
    please notify the relevant staff.
[04:58] Miorine
    Why are our mobile suits escorting us?
[05:02] Miorine
    I told you I'm seeking
    a peaceful solution!
[05:04] Kenanji
    You seriously think those people
    will cooperate so reasonably?
[05:10] Prospera
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[05:16] Kenanji
    Even without weapons, it looks
    daunting enough to quiet them down.
[05:22] Nugen
    I'm told that Miorine Rembran
    is about to begin negotiations.
[05:26] Elan (Original)
    If they crush the Earthians
    with that Gundam,
[05:29] Elan (Original)
    more people might end up
    supporting Miorine.
[05:32] Shaddiq
    That won't happen.
[05:34] Shaddiq
    Miorine herself would never allow it.
[05:37] Belmeria
    What's this about?
[05:38] Feng
    I wanted to have
    a little girls' night out.
[05:41] Belmeria
    I'm just an engineer.
[05:43] Belmeria
    I don't have any information your
    League officials would want.
[05:48] Feng
    At present, the high council is planning
    to forcibly suppress the Benerit Group.
[05:54] Feng
    If worse comes to worst,
    there could be a clash.
[05:57] Feng
    Nevertheless, we'd still like to find
    a way for both sides to work together.
[06:03] Feng
    If the Group loses its position,
[06:06] Feng
    you'll be scapegoated
    for breaking the Cathedra Agreement...
[06:09] Feng
    Ms. Winston.
[06:11] Feng
    You have to think about yourself.
[06:14] Feng
    So, please...
[06:16] Feng
    Tell me what you know.
[06:20] Belmeria
    This has nothing to do with me.
[06:25] Feng
    A girls' night out...
[06:27] Feng
    I really did want one.
[06:30] Demonstrators
    Spacians go home!
[06:31] Demonstrators
    You plan to rip us off even more?!
[06:33] Demonstrators
    Release our comrades!
[06:34] Demonstrators
    We want an end to your monopoly on Permet!
[06:36] Kenanji
    Hey! Who told them we'd be here?
[06:38] Miorine Bodyguard A
    How should I know?
[06:39] Kenanji
    Madam President, we should regroup.
[06:42] Miorine
    None of them are armed.
[06:45] Miorine
    They just want us to hear their voices.
[06:56] Sedo
    Hey, Spacian! Give me something.
[06:59] Security Guard B
    Whoa, kid! Back off!
[07:01] Sedo
    What was that for? I didn't do anything!
[07:05] Security Guard B
    Only authorized personnel...
[07:06] Kenanji
    Young Mr. President...
[07:07] Kenanji
    Please don't stand in place.
[07:07] Sedo
    Where does it say that, huh?
[07:10] Guel
    Miorine... can you negotiate on your own?
[07:14] Miorine
    What are you talking about?
    Of course I can.
[07:16] Guel
    I have somewhere to be.
    I leave her to you.
[07:20] Miorine
    What?!
[07:21] Kenanji
    Young Mr. President! Damn it...
[07:23] Kenanji
    Don't let Madam President
    out of your sight!
[07:26] Miorine Bodyguard D
    Madam...
[07:29] Miorine
    Right...
[07:35] Miorine
    Greetings, everyone.
[07:38] Miorine
    I'm Miorine Rembran.
[07:40] Miorine
    My hope today is that
    we can speak on equal terms.
[07:45] Negotiator A
    Equal, eh?
[07:46] Negotiator A
    Follow me.
[07:52] Miorine
    The Benerit Group intends to
    build a new development facility
[07:57] Miorine
    near the reconstruction district
    in the southeast of Quinharbor.
[08:00] Miorine
    This could produce a maximum
    30% rise in local employment--
[08:05] Negotiator A
    1,529 people.
[08:08] Negotiator A
    That many Earthians are missing or dead
    after the Plant Quetta Incident,
[08:12] Negotiator A
    thanks to your search
    for the perpetrators.
[08:15] Negotiator 2
    You arrested people without
    reason and detained them...
[08:19] Negotiator 5
    Some of them were tortured, as well.
[08:22] Miorine
    We never gave any orders to--
[08:24] Negatiator 1
    You merely weren't informed.
[08:26] Negotiator A
    Your monopolization of Permet...
[08:28] Negotiator A
    The proxy wars you force onto us
    through war partitioning...
[08:32] Negotiator A
    Those are already unbearable.
[08:34] Negotiator A
    But if you make us suffer further
    by going outside the law,
[08:38] Negotiator A
    we will do the same.
[08:41] Negotiator A
    All Spacians must leave Earth.
[08:46] Negotiator A
    That is our demand.
[08:52] Lauda
    What's a Gundam doing here?!
[08:53] Jeturk Company Mechanic
    I don't know the details, either.
[08:55] Jeturk Company Mechanic
    It's some kind of joint venture
    with GUND-ARM, Inc.
[08:59] Lauda
    With Miorine?
[09:01] Norea
    Die, die, die, die...
[09:02] Norea
    Die, die, die, die...
[09:04] Norea
    Die, die, die, die...
[09:16] Elan (Clone 5)
    Let's take a peek.
[09:19] Elan (Clone 5)
    My, my...
[09:26] Elan (Clone 5)
    Well...
[09:28] Norea
    Don't touch that!
[09:30] Norea
    Give it back!
[09:31] Elan (Clone 5)
    Whoa, hey!
[09:35] Norea
    I'll kill them all! Spacians... and you!
[09:38] Norea
    I want you... everyone to die!
[09:40] Norea
    Die! Die!
[09:42] Norea
    Die, die! Die, die! Die, die!
[09:45] Norea
    Die, die, die!
    Die, die...
[09:48] Norea
    Die...
[09:52] Norea
    Sophie...
[09:54] Norea
    Why did you die on me?
[09:56] Norea
    Wait...
[09:58] Norea
    Don't leave me here!
[10:01] Norea
    I don't want to be alone!
[10:04] Norea
    I'm afraid...
[10:06] Norea
    to die.
[10:10] Nika
    What the heck just happened?
[10:13] Elan (Clone 5)
    You'll never understand.
[10:16] Elan (Clone 5)
    Never...
[10:18] Earth House PV
    GUND-ARM, GUND-ARM
    A ray of hope
[10:23] Miorine Bodyguard A
    Madam President...
[10:24] Miorine Bodyguard A
    It's time to resume.
[10:27] Miorine
    Right...
[10:29] Miorine
    Let's go.
[10:31] Negotiator C 5
    Prosthetic limbs?
[10:32] Miorine
    This is medical equipment
    handled by the company I'm running.
[10:35] Miorine
    It was designed and developed by Earthian
    students at the Asticassia School.
[10:40] Negotiator B
    Now you weapons merchants
    want to sell us medical products, too?
[10:45] Miorine
    Just now, you demanded
    that all Spacians leave Earth.
[10:48] Negotiator A
    Yes...
[10:49] Miorine
    Then that means the Earthians
    must also leave space.
[10:52] Negotiator A
    I suppose it does.
[10:53] Miorine
    That's a demand I flatly reject.
[10:56] Negotiator A
    What?
[10:57] Miorine
    They're my valuable partners.
[11:00] Miorine
    I can't lose them in such a separation.
[11:03] Miorine
    I don't claim to understand
    how enraged you Earthians are.
[11:07] Miorine
    Or the economic obstacles you face.
[11:10] Miorine
    But even so, I seek dialogue.
[11:14] Miorine
    Please give me a chance!
[11:17] Negotiator A
    How can we trust you
    when you don't have the final say?
[11:21] Miorine
    Would you trust me
    if I became the Group's president?
[11:25] Negotiator A
    Is that your intention?
[11:26] Miorine
    I now understand
    that it's what I really need.
[11:33] Negotiator A
    We can't engage in negotiations with you.
[11:39] Negotiator A
    Ten days...
[11:41] Negotiator A
    Until the results of
    your presidential election are clear,
[11:43] Negotiator A
    we'll suspend all protest activities.
[11:47] Negotiator C 5
    Are you sure?
[11:48] Negotiator A
    Leave the deal-making to the politicians.
[11:51] Negotiator A
    Besides...
[11:52] Negotiator A
    if we're going to talk,
    I'd rather talk about that.
[11:56] Negotiator A
    I'm a doctor, after all.
[11:58] Miorine
    Thank you very much.
[12:31] Chuchu
    Hey!
[12:32] Chuchu
    Suletta came!
[12:32] Suletta
    W-wait...
[12:34] Suletta
    I'm not... ready yet!
[12:37] Lilique
    Do you mind sitting here, Ms. Suletta?
[12:40] Aliya
    And will you share that ham?
[12:43] Suletta
    S-Sure...
[12:44] Till
    Breakfast is soup made from Tiko's milk...
[12:47] Ojelo
    We've had to start using
    the stuff in the freezer.
[12:51] Nuno
    You forgot to flip the switch, didn't you?
[12:53] Aliya
    Which means it's a more
    luxurious breakfast than usual.
[12:56] Aliya
    In that case, we wanted to eat
    somewhere a bit brighter.
[12:59] Aliya
    Here.
[13:16] Lilique
    How is it?
[13:18] Suletta
    Yes...
[13:21] Suletta
    It's delicious!
[13:26] Chuchu
    Okay! Let's dig in!
[13:29] Ojelo
    I'm so hungry, baby!
[13:33] Till
    Can you pass that?
[13:36] Nuno
    Martin?
[13:39] Chuchu
    Say that again, huh?!
[13:41] Chuchu
    So the management company was right?!
[13:42] Lilique
    Chuchu, calm down.
[13:44] Martin
    It's true. Nika was cooperating
    with that terrorist group.
[13:48] Martin
    That's why I reported her
    to the management company.
[13:53] Suletta
    Ms. Nika...
[13:55] Suletta
    Ms. Nika was trying
    to stop Ms. Sophie and Ms. Norea.
[14:00] Suletta
    She wasn't trying to destroy the school.
[14:03] Chuchu
    Maybe so!
[14:05] Chuchu
    But she lied to us.
[14:08] Chuchu
    How can I forgive her?
[14:14] Till
    Only Nika can tell us
    why she was doing that.
[14:16] Nuno
    Till...
[14:17] Till
    I failed to notice
    that you were struggling, Martin.
[14:22] Till
    However... Clean the stables.
[14:25] Till
    Enough that the animals feel better.
[14:29] Martin
    Forgive me, Till.
[14:31] Martin
    I...
[14:33] Nuno
    I'd have done
    the same as you, Martin.
[14:35] Ojelo
    Wait, she's our friend, isn't she?
[14:38] Lilique
    Even if you know it's not the best way,
[14:41] Lilique
    there are times when there's only
    one thing you can do, right?
[14:47] Sedo
    I heard about Seethia.
[14:49] Sedo
    You made a grave, too?
[14:52] Guel
    It was the only thing I could do for her.
[14:54] Kenanji
    Hey, kid!
[14:56] Kenanji
    Are any of your Fold buddies still here?
[14:58] Sedo
    No.
[14:59] Sedo
    And my name's not "kid,"
    it's Sedo Wanchek.
[15:02] Sedo
    I'm an official refugee designated
    by the special reconstruction plan.
[15:06] Kenanji
    Never mind.
[15:07] Kenanji
    Let's go back.
[15:08] Sedo
    Hey, w-wait!
[15:11] Sedo
    Benerit has a school
    that takes in Earthians like me, right?
[15:14] Guel
    School?
[15:15] Kenanji
    Young Mr. President, we--
[15:16] Sedo
    Will you let me in?
[15:19] Kenanji
    He probably means the Academy.
[15:22] Guel
    Grassley's child-rearing program?
[15:25] Kenanji
    That place is run by meritocracy.
[15:27] Kenanji
    They even take in orphans who lost
    their families to war partitioning
[15:31] Kenanji
    and reeducate them.
[15:33] Kenanji
    Shaddiq Zenelli and their other
    five pilots all came from there.
[15:38] Sedo
    So you can do it, right?
[15:40] Guel
    I don't belong to Grassley.
[15:43] Guel
    Ask one of the Academy graduates.
[15:44] Sedo
    Come on!
[15:46] Sedo
    I just want to be like the Prince!
[15:49] Guel
    The Prince?
[15:50] Sedo
    He's an awesome guy who graduated from
[15:52] Sedo
    whatever that place is,
    and now aids us Earthians.
[15:56] Sedo
    Instead of piloting mobile suits
    like Sophie or Norea,
[15:59] Sedo
    I'm more interested in--
[16:01] Guel
    Mr. Kenanji!
[16:02] Kenanji
    You...
[16:03] Kenanji
    Who told you about all that?
[16:05] Sedo
    Who...? The adults, of course.
[16:07] Sedo
    Everyone knows about it!
[16:09] Guel
    Mr. Kenanji, what are--
[16:10] Kenanji
    That's Shaddiq Zenelli's nickname.
[16:13] Kenanji
    Jeru Ogul...
[16:14] Kenanji
    That was his name before he was adopted.
[16:17] Kenanji
    Since he was a remarkable child,
[16:19] Kenanji
    and because of that name, everyone
    at the Academy called him "Prince."
[16:23] Kenanji
    You said it yourself.
    Everyone knows about it, right?
[16:26] Kenanji
    And yet not one person
    has ever given us such a report.
[16:29] Kenanji
    No one except you, an Earthian
    who lived with the Dawn of Fold.
[16:39] Miorine
    Excuse me...
[16:41] Miorine
    Guel, where are--
[16:42] Guel
    It's Shaddiq!
[16:44] Guel
    The Open Campus, and Plant Quetta...
[16:46] Guel
    They're all farces that he staged!
[16:48] Guel
    Arrest him and grill him right now!
[16:50] Miorine
    Calm down. Do you have evidence?
[16:53] Miorine
    Without it, he'll just shrug it off.
[16:57] Miorine
    Guel, go back to Asticassia.
[16:59] Guel
    To the school?
[17:00] Miorine
    If you can find President Sarius,
    that'll be your evidence.
[17:03] Miorine
    Shaddiq must be keeping him close by,
    in the place he feels is safest.
[17:08] Guel
    Grassley House!
[17:11] Prospera
    Oh, going home already?
[17:13] Kenanji
    There's been a sudden change of plans.
[17:16] Kenanji
    We'll be taking our leave.
[17:18] Prospera
    Understood.
[17:19] Prospera
    Goodbye.

    Let us begin...

    Huh?
[17:39] Mobile Craft Pilot A
    Hey, wait a minute!
[17:46] Demonstrator F
    What are you doing?
    I haven't issued any orders!
[17:48] Mobile Craft Pilot A
    You're wrong! It's not me!
[17:51] Prospera
    Attention, garrison command.
[17:53] Prospera
    We've been attacked by the demonstrators.
[17:55] Prospera
    As we're unarmed, we are evacuating.
[17:57] Benerit Garrison Forces A
    Wait! You can't leave your post--
[18:04] Feng
    President Miorine is
    on Earth right now, isn't she?
[18:07] Feng
    Why Quinharbor?
[18:09] Belmeria
    Why...?

    Did those two really go

    The two Gundams that attacked
    Plant Quetta and Benerit's school...
[19:02] Feng
    that's where they came from.
[19:03] Belmeria
    H-Hold on...
[19:05] Belmeria
    Ochs Earth was... 21 years ago...
[19:08] Feng
    I told you, didn't I?
[19:09] Feng
    The higher-ups are trying to
    forcibly suppress the Group.
[19:12] Belmeria
    You don't mean...
[19:14] Feng
    The ones who support the once-defunct
    Ochs Earth as a covert organization...
[19:19] Feng
    are the Assembly League's
    high council.
[19:22] Feng
    Although I don't have proof.
[19:29] Prospera
    The heinous sinners who trampled
    on GUND's ideals...
[19:33] Prospera
    Now you're trying to interfere with
    Eri's future?
[19:36] Prospera
    I can't allow that, can I?
[19:42] Demonstrator G
    An attack?!
[19:43] Demonstrator H
    They've done it. It's the Spacians!
[19:49] Feng
    I won't deny that I tried to use you,
[19:52] Feng
    but it's also true
    that I want to avoid armed conflict.
[19:55] Feng
    Please...
[19:58] Feng
    Lend us your support.
[20:00] Benerit Garrison Forces B
    All units, you are not
    authorized to attack.
[20:02] Benerit Garrison Forces B
    I repeat. You are not
    authorized to attack.
[20:09] Miorine
    What the hell is happening...?
[20:11] Negotiator A
    Did you trick us?
[20:13] Miorine
    No! We aren't the ones who...
[20:16] Negotiator A
    How unfortunate.
[20:18] Negotiator A
    We're leaving.
[20:18] Miorine
    Wait, please! Hear me out!
[20:21] Miorine Bodyguard A
    This way, Madam President.
[20:24] Feng
    Plant Quetta?
[20:26] Belmeria
    You'll find it there.
[20:28] Belmeria
    A component of Quiet Zero,
    the project that is her obsession.
[20:33] Feng
    Quiet Zero?
[20:36] Guston
    In any case, let's hurry to the plant!
[20:47] Godoy
    It was a cinch for them
    to win you over, wasn't it...
[20:50] Godoy
    Dr. Winston?
[20:53] Guston
    Feng!
[20:54] Feng
    Please! Take her!
[20:56] Godoy
    Move!
[21:12] News A
    Fighting is currently escalating
    in the eastern part of the city,
[21:15] News A
    as Benerit Group mobile suits
[21:16] Norea
    Spacians...
[21:17] News A
    open fire on housing complexes
    where anti-Spacian activists
[21:20] News A
    have barricaded themselves.
[21:22] Elan (Original)
    It turned out just like I said.
[21:24] Elan (Original)
    So what happens now?
[21:28] Henao
    I called for a ship, as well as
    mobile suits and Sabina's team.
[21:32] Shaddiq
    Prospera Mercury was onto us, after all.
[21:36] Shaddiq
    Guel... You've defiled her.
[21:38] News C
    In response to
    the Benerit Group's attack...
[21:40] Shaddiq
    Miorine...
[21:41] News C
    ...anti-Spacian groups...
[21:41] Ojelo
    It can't be.
[21:43] Chuchu
    What the hell is Miorine doing?!
[21:45] News C
    The leader of
    the Earth Independence Movement...
[21:48] Ericht
    That's why...
[21:49] Ericht
    you can't cling to me anymore...
[21:52] Ericht
    Not to me, or to Mom.
[21:58] Suletta
    I understand now.
[22:00] Aliya
    Suletta?
[22:01] Suletta
    Aerial was just like you, Mr. Martin.
[22:04] Martin
    Huh?
[22:06] Suletta
    She knew that this is what Mom would do.
[22:10] Suletta
    Even if it wasn't the best way,
[22:14] Suletta
    Aerial did the only thing she could.
[22:17] Suletta
    I... didn't understand a thing.
[22:24] Miorine
    It's all my fault.
[22:27] Miorine
    I...
[22:29] Miorine
    did this.
