**[00:28] ---**
Ericht! Please! Don't do this!
**[00:32] ---**
Then don't get in Mom's way.
**[00:35] ---**
This is all for Ericht's sake...
**[00:39] ---**
so why did you come here?
**[00:41] ---**
Go back to the school with your friends.
**[00:44] ---**
This is a matter for those of us
who can only live inside the data storm.
**[00:49] ---**
So, Suletta...
**[00:51] ---**
You must give up.
**[00:54] ---**
No!
**[00:55] ---**
I can't turn a blind eye to you guys!
**[01:00] ---**
You're so stubborn, Suletta.
**[01:10] ---**
Stop it, Lauda!
**[01:12] ---**
*Why are you trying to attack that ship?!*
**[01:15] ---**
*What about you, Brother...*
**[01:16] ---**
Why are you by that woman's side?
**[01:19] ---**
Lauda?
**[01:22] ---**
*If Miorine hadn't brought Gundams
back into the world,*
**[01:25] ---**
*Petra wouldn't have...!*
**[01:34] ---**
Why the heck is Lauda attacking us?!
**[01:36] ---**
How should I know?!
**[01:39] ---**
Ms. Felsi!
**[01:41] ---**
We'll be caught up in the mess.
**[01:43] ---**
Nika! Chuchu!
**[01:44] ---**
Roger!
**[01:44] ---**
Let's go, Demi Barding!
**[01:54] ---**
Permet communications will be useless
within data storm space.
**[01:58] ---**
Change to optical wireless communications.
**[02:01] ---**
Right... Demi Barding,
now terminating Permet link.
**[02:15] ---**
We're gonna die!
**[02:17] ---**
We're all gonna die!
**[02:19] ---**
Mommy!
**[02:24] ---**
S-Sorry, everybody!
**[02:26] ---**
Is piloting without Permet
really this hard?!
**[02:34] ---**
Is this... the data storm?
**[02:38] ---**
This sensation is so unpleasant.
**[02:41] ---**
Hurry up and get us to Quiet Zero!
**[02:44] ---**
*Who put you in charge, loudmouth!*
***SIGN*** Episode 23
**[04:30] ---**
Don't!
**[04:31] ---**
*The Schwarzette...
the Gundam will take your life!*
**[04:34] ---**
*Then why don't you stop me by killing me?*
**[04:38] ---**
*Just like Dad?!*
**[04:41] ---**
Answer me, Brother!
**[04:43] ---**
Why didn't you tell me about Dad?
**[04:46] ---**
Was it out of guilt?
**[04:49] ---**
*Or did you think
I couldn't bear the burden?*
**[04:56] ---**
*Am I really that undependable?*
**[04:59] ---**
*That's not it.*
**[05:01] ---**
*What happened to Dad was my sin alone.*
**[05:03] ---**
I'm the one who should bear it all!
**[05:07] ---**
*That's what's wrong with you, Brother...*
**[05:12] ---**
*That's how Miorine takes advantage
of you, and why you cling to her!*
**[05:20] ---**
That righteousness... That arrogance...
**[05:24] ---**
*That's your sin!*
**[05:35] ---**
A small craft is approaching.
**[05:37] ---**
It has a Benerit Group registration code.
**[05:39] ---**
It's emitting a communication signal.
**[05:41] ---**
It's alone?
**[05:43] ---**
I'll talk to them.
**[05:46] ---**
*This is Guston Parche,
a Space Assembly League inspector.*
**[05:49] ---**
*I'd like to speak to operation HQ.*
**[05:51] ---**
What can an inspector do
in this situation?
**[05:55] ---**
*The corporate governance
is still intact with our group.*
**[06:01] ---**
Delling Rembran?
**[06:04] ---**
In accordance with the League Charter,
**[06:07] ---**
we request the convening
of an emergency special session.
**[06:11] ---**
*A special session?*
**[06:14] ---**
Have all members
send their representatives
**[06:17] ---**
and reconsider if it was justifiable
to intervene in our group's affairs.
**[06:26] ---**
Mr. President...
**[06:27] ---**
I'm grateful... for your cooperation.
**[06:39] ---**
Stand down, Suletta.
**[06:41] ---**
I don't want to hurt you.
**[06:47] ---**
Neither... do I!
**[06:50] ---**
Then don't stop us.
**[06:52] ---**
Mom wants Eri to...
have a place in the world.
**[06:58] ---**
Is it okay to gobble up
all these fronts for that goal?
**[07:02] ---**
*To take lives?!*
**[07:04] ---**
Eri wouldn't do that.
**[07:07] ---**
But if they get in our way,
Mom won't hesitate!
**[07:12] ---**
*That's why I want to stop her!*
**[07:14] ---**
*I don't want Mom...
to become some evil magician!*
**[07:27] ---**
Please, Suletta...
**[07:28] ---**
Forget about us.
**[07:33] ---**
No!
**[07:36] ---**
*I...*
**[07:38] ---**
*I care about you!*
**[07:40] ---**
And Mom, too!
**[07:44] ---**
*When Mom cries,*
**[07:47] ---**
*I want to be there to hug her!*
**[07:49] ---**
*I want to be by her side!*
**[07:51] ---**
There's no way...
**[07:54] ---**
*I could ever forget!*
**[07:59] ---**
What a pity.
**[08:10] ---**
We're surrounded.
**[08:11] ---**
Ms. Miorine! Everyone!
**[08:14] ---**
If you don't understand, Suletta...
**[08:17] ---**
than I won't hesitate, either.
**[08:20] ---**
Ericht!
**[08:27] ---**
Please!
**[08:29] ---**
*Stop it, Ericht!*
**[08:49] ---**
The mobile suits...
**[08:52] ---**
...stopped?
**[08:54] ---**
What just happened?
**[08:55] ---**
Chuchu! Nika!
**[08:57] ---**
*Okay!*
**[09:01] ---**
Why?
**[09:02] ---**
Why do you interfere?
**[09:04] ---**
The data storm can make
our wishes come true!
**[09:08] ---**
Huh?
**[09:10] ---**
*What caused it?*
**[09:11] ---**
*Data interference is occurring.*
**[09:14] ---**
*The data storm's information density
is degrading.*
**[09:18] ---**
Where are you going?
**[09:22] ---**
To do pest control.
**[09:25] ---**
Captain, Assembly League HQ
is calling on a secure line.
**[09:32] ---**
Lagrange 1 has an interplanetary
laser power transmission system.
**[09:37] ---**
We'd like you to use it.
**[09:40] ---**
*What about the special session
that Delling requested?*
**[09:43] ---**
*We've received no such request.*
**[09:48] ---**
An interplanetary weapon
**[09:49] ---**
developed under the guise
of a power transmission system...
***SIGN*** L1 Interplanetary Laser Transmission System
"ILTS"
**[09:54] ---**
I wonder, what if it were
to be mistakenly activated?
**[09:59] ---**
If we use that thing,
**[10:01] ---**
it'll devastate not just Benerit
but all of Lagrange 4.
**[10:05] ---**
Who'll take responsibility?
**[10:07] ---**
*We will, of course.*
**[10:11] ---**
To make up for
the Assembly League's blunder,
**[10:13] ---**
I imagine Lagrange 1's sovereign
government and corporate volunteers
**[10:18] ---**
will lead the rebuilding efforts.
**[10:21] ---**
And when the arbitration is over,
**[10:25] ---**
you promise that our company
will be in control of the Group.
**[10:43] ---**
Let's go. Follow me.
**[10:48] ---**
The data storm seems calmer in here.
**[10:51] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[10:57] ---**
Take this.
**[10:59] ---**
You've had training, haven't you?
**[11:02] ---**
I could never--
**[11:03] ---**
I can't very well hand it to a student.
**[11:09] ---**
Okay! Let's go punch in
that shutdown code.
**[11:12] ---**
W-Wait, Chuchu!
**[11:18] ---**
A Haro?
**[11:19] ---**
Intruders will be eliminated.
**[11:29] ---**
So this is...
**[11:31] ---**
*a Gundam?*
**[11:34] ---**
With this, I'm a match for my brother!
**[11:38] ---**
I can stop him!
**[11:40] ---**
*I can stop the witches...*
**[11:42] ---**
and Miorine!
**[11:44] ---**
*Lauda! Why don't you quit this?!*
**[11:47] ---**
Any further, and--
**[11:48] ---**
It's you who should wake up, Brother!
**[11:58] ---**
*The crime of killing our father,*
**[12:00] ---**
*the crime of wounding Petra...*
**[12:03] ---**
If you won't make that woman pay for it...
**[12:07] ---**
You're wrong! Listen to me, Lauda!
**[12:09] ---**
*I will defend the honor
of the Jeturk name!*
**[12:14] ---**
*In place of my brother,
who is in thrall to a witch,*
**[12:18] ---**
*I will shoulder all of their sins!*
**[12:21] ---**
I will... Lauda Jeturk will...!
**[12:37] ---**
You're Lauda?
**[12:49] ---**
I'm Guel.
**[12:51] ---**
Now I have a little brother!
**[12:53] ---**
I'm super happy.
**[13:06] ---**
*Brother...?*
**[13:09] ---**
*You're right.*
**[13:11] ---**
*About Dad...*
**[13:14] ---**
If everyone...
**[13:16] ---**
If you...
**[13:18] ---**
can't forgive me, I...
**[13:24] ---**
*Brother! Run!*
**[13:27] ---**
*I'll... never run again.*
**[13:30] ---**
*From Dad or from you.*
**[13:34] ---**
*So at least...*
**[13:38] ---**
Don't go piloting a Gundam anymore.
**[13:44] ---**
I'm sorry, Brother...
**[13:49] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[13:56] ---**
*Just how stupid are you two?!*
**[13:58] ---**
*Felsi?!*
**[13:59] ---**
*Dying in a sibling spat?!*
**[14:01] ---**
If that's a joke, it's not funny!
**[14:08] ---**
You said it...
**[14:11] ---**
*It really wouldn't... be that funny.*
**[14:19] ---**
Idiot! Lower your head!
**[14:21] ---**
Where the hell did you get that?
**[14:23] ---**
Hell, who cares?
**[14:25] ---**
Ms. Winston, take President Miorine
to the core block!
**[14:28] ---**
But...
**[14:29] ---**
Go, Miorine!
**[14:30] ---**
Go and finish the job!
**[14:32] ---**
As quickly as possible, please!
**[14:42] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:44] ---**
Let me take care of them.
Nobody will get killed this time.
**[14:49] ---**
Always rubbing it in...
**[15:00] ---**
In here.
**[15:07] ---**
Hurry up and shut it down.
**[15:09] ---**
I know, okay?
**[15:13] ---**
Let me try.
**[15:17] ---**
Why?
**[15:19] ---**
If that's the emergency shutdown code,
**[15:21] ---**
I took the liberty of changing it.
**[15:24] ---**
Did you think I was so careless?
**[15:30] ---**
Miorine is with Mom now.
**[15:34] ---**
If it's to gain one, Mom will...
**[15:38] ---**
*No!*
**[15:40] ---**
Then don't take away the place
where Mom and I can live freely.
**[15:48] ---**
Ma'am! Please stop this now!
**[15:50] ---**
Why?
**[15:52] ---**
Eri is the child blessed
by Vanadis's ideals.
**[15:56] ---**
Yet there's no place for her
in this world.
**[16:00] ---**
So I'll have to make one.
**[16:03] ---**
A place where Eri can be happy.
**[16:07] ---**
Eri, Eri...
**[16:09] ---**
Don't you care about Suletta at all?
**[16:11] ---**
I do love her.
**[16:12] ---**
But now she has friends like you.
**[16:17] ---**
Can you imagine how Suletta feels
aboard the Calibarn?
**[16:21] ---**
She was trembling with fear
that she might die.
**[16:24] ---**
But even so,
because she cares for you both...
**[16:29] ---**
because she loves you...
**[16:32] ---**
If you're a mother,
then love your daughters equally!
**[16:37] ---**
That's none of your business...
**[16:43] ---**
Hey! Are you trying to
reprogram it or something?
**[16:45] ---**
If I can get around the admin rights...
**[16:54] ---**
Now, be a good girl
and hand over those units--
**[16:59] ---**
I can't... keep running any longer...
**[17:04] ---**
I...
**[17:17] ---**
Hurry! Quick!
**[17:18] ---**
Shut up! I know, already!
**[17:29] ---**
*There was an unknown message
in the genetic code.*
**[17:33] ---**
*When we converted it to text,
it turned out to be words.*
**[17:41] ---**
I'll always...
**[17:44] ---**
love you too.
**[17:50] ---**
All for the love of my precious child.
**[17:54] ---**
A mother can be very strong, young lady.
**[18:04] ---**
Mom!
**[18:21] ---**
We have a signal!
**[18:23] ---**
Permet link established.
**[18:25] ---**
*Commence calling.*
**[18:27] ---**
*Roger.*
**[18:28] ---**
Now infiltrating
Quiet Zero's internal systems.
**[18:40] ---**
Mom!
**[18:41] ---**
Route everything to security!
**[18:43] ---**
It's no use. There's too much.
**[19:09] ---**
It stopped?
**[19:11] ---**
*The data storm has dissipated.*
**[19:13] ---**
Everyone is okay!
**[19:16] ---**
Yes!
**[19:18] ---**
*Mission accomplished!*
**[19:25] ---**
You're not so good at killing people.
**[19:27] ---**
Next time, try helping them instead.
**[19:32] ---**
"Move forward, gain two."
**[19:35] ---**
Those were your words, right?
**[19:37] ---**
Then do as you say and move forward.
**[19:40] ---**
You, Suletta, Ericht...
**[19:44] ---**
All of us... will be family, after all.
**[19:49] ---**
*Quiet Zero has shut down.*
**[19:53] ---**
*Now if you could please leave us...*
**[19:56] ---**
*I'm afraid not.*
**[19:58] ---**
You and your companies
have grown far too big.
**[20:06] ---**
*Moving power transmission

**[20:09] ---**
*Array setup within error range.*
**[20:12] ---**
*Phase control systems, all green.*

No!

Eri! Stop that!

Everyone...?
