[00:06] ---
    It's better not to move yet.
[00:10] ---
    My name is Pascal.
[00:13] ---
    I am the leader of this vill—
[00:17] ---
    Report. YoRHa unit A2 was rescued
    by the machine lifeforms in this area.
[00:24] ---
    I was...
[00:26] ---
    rescued by machine lifeforms?
[00:30] ---
    A giant white structure suddenly appeared,
    so we went onsite to investigate.
[00:36] ---
    And that was where
    we found you collapsed.
[00:39] ---
    I couldn't just leave you in such a dangerous
    location, so we carried you here.
[00:43] ---
    Uncle, I collected ingredients
    for that thing.
[00:47] ---
    Oh, all right.
[00:50] ---
    I will step away for a bit.
    Please make yourself at home.
[01:00] ---
    Who the hell are you, and where am I?
[01:04] ---
    I am Tactical Support Unit, Pod 042.
[01:08] ---
    This Pod has been tasked with providing
    fire support for YoRHa unit A2.
[01:12] ---
    This location is a colony formed
    by machine lifeforms.
[01:16] ---
    According to records from YoRHa unit 2B,
[01:19] ---
    the residents of this colony are pacifistic,
    and this location is deemed safe.
[01:24] ---
    Machine lifeforms... Pacifistic?
[01:29] ---
    I can't believe that.
[01:31] ---
    And what exactly are you doing?
[01:33] ---
    You're so annoying.
[01:35] ---
    I am Tactical Support Unit, Pod 042.
[01:38] ---
    I heard that already.
    I never asked for you.
[01:40] ---
    Affirmative. No request
    was received from unit A2.
[01:44] ---
    It was the final order from this Pod's
    previous support assignment, unit 2B.
[01:52] ---
    Take care of everyone...
[01:56] ---
    and the future for me, A2.
[02:02] ---
    Proposal. YoRHa unit A2
    should state her intentions.
[02:06] ---
    Huh?
[02:07] ---
    Deduced as necessary information
    to provide support.
[02:10] ---
    I have no intention on telling you.
[02:13] ---
    Don't bother me.
[02:21] ---
    What the hell is that huge thing?
[02:24] ---
    Unknown.
[02:25] ---
    I told you, don't bother me!
[02:28] ---
    YoRHa unit A2 lacks the authority
    to override this order.
[02:32] ---
    Damn you.
[02:35] ---
    Whatever.
[04:18] ---
    Looks like he's awake, Devola.
[04:21] ---
    Mornin'. Slept well, didn't ya, 9S?
[04:25] ---
    How are ya feeling?
[04:30] ---
    Where am I?
[04:31] ---
    Answer. Resistance Camp.
[04:34] ---
    You were collapsed on the valley floor,
    with heavy injuries.
[04:38] ---
    If treatment was any later,
    you'd have been in danger.
[04:42] ---
    I hope you appreciate it.
[04:44] ---
    Treatment.
[04:45] ---
    We Devola/Popola-type androids are models
    designed for medical treatment and maintenance.
[04:51] ---
    Well, that's why there aren't that many of us.
[04:54] ---
    By the way, I'm Devola,
    and this here is Popola.
[04:57] ---
    Do you remember?
[04:59] ---
    Yes.
[05:00] ---
    Proposal. A word of appreciation
    is appropriate.
[05:04] ---
    Thanks.
[05:05] ---
    It's fine. Saving comrades like this
    is our way of atonement.
[05:10] ---
    Atonement?
[05:18] ---
    What is that?
[05:19] ---
    Answer. A facility that appeared after
    the previous large-scale descent operation.
[05:24] ---
    It appears to be created by machine lifeforms.
    Further details unknown.
[05:29] ---
    Machine lifeforms.
[05:32] ---
    2B!
[05:35] ---
    Are you okay?
[05:37] ---
    You're not fully healed yet.
[05:41] ---
    You should rest up for now.
[05:47] ---
    Now, take a look.
[05:49] ---
    What do you want?
[05:51] ---
    I don't want anything!
    I'm not a kid anymore!
[05:54] ---
    My oh my.
[05:55] ---
    I grew taller!
[05:58] ---
    So awesome.
[05:59] ---
    Mommy, how long
    are you gonna be cooped up?
[06:02] ---
    The outside world is scary!
[06:05] ---
    What's up with these things?
[06:07] ---
    Answer. Machine lifeforms that...
[06:10] ---
    I already heard that.
[06:11] ---
    Proposal. Unit A2
    should state her intentions.
[06:14] ---
    I heard that already too.
[06:17] ---
    Anyway, what happened to the Bunker?
[06:22] ---
    Thirteenth Orbital Base Bunker
[06:25] ---
    went into a self-destruct sequence
    due to virus infection by machine lifeforms.
[06:30] ---
    Commander and many YoRHa Soldiers
    were infected as well,
[06:34] ---
    and died along with the collapse
    of the Bunker.
[06:37] ---
    Because of this, YoRHa Soldiers assumed
    to be effectively annihilated.
[06:42] ---
    I see.
[06:45] ---
    My objective is to beat
    the hell out of machine lifeforms.
[06:50] ---
    Query. What is the reason you do not destroy
    the machine lifeforms of this colony?
[06:55] ---
    I owe these guys one.
[06:58] ---
    But I'll be leaving now.
[07:00] ---
    This is the only time they get off the hook.
[07:05] ---
    Request. Initiate immediate maintenance
    before leaving this location.
[07:10] ---
    Like I'd care. Don't meddle.
[07:12] ---
    Due to strong impact from the fall,
    unit A2 is suffering some sort of—
[07:16] ---
    Don't talk to me.
[07:18] ---
    If an attending support unit is not provided
    with data related to the safety of its target,
[07:24] ---
    it is programmed to automatically
    repeat the request process.
[07:27] ---
    Huh!?
[07:28] ---
    Request. Initiate immediate maintenance.
[07:32] ---
    Needless repetition of conversation
    deemed a waste of energy resources.
[07:36] ---
    You're the one who keeps talking!
[07:38] ---
    Request. Immediate—
[07:40] ---
    Shut. The. Hell. Up.
[07:45] ---
    S-Scary voice.
[07:47] ---
    She really is scary.
[07:50] ---
    She's looking this way!
[07:51] ---
    Run! Run! Run!
[07:57] ---
    - What to do, what to do?
    - Gotta save him.
[07:57] ---
    I can't deal with them.
[08:00] ---
    But scary...
[08:04] ---
    What the...
[08:11] ---
    Loss of consciousness confirmed.
[08:14] ---
    9S, Ms. Lily wants to ask you
    something about YoRHa.
[08:20] ---
    That guy...
[08:23] ---
    Unit maintenance incomplete.
[08:25] ---
    Proposal. Return to Resistance Camp.
[08:29] ---
    Alert. Activity without inspection
    is dangerous.
[08:38] ---
    She woke up! She woke up!
[08:41] ---
    Wh-What the...
[08:42] ---
    S-Scary!
[08:44] ---
    She'll eat us!
[08:45] ---
    H-Hey, what are you...
[08:47] ---
    That's enough!
[08:50] ---
    My body won't move.
[08:52] ---
    Report.
[08:54] ---
    Malfunction detected
    in YoRHa unit A2's mobility system.
[08:58] ---
    Cause of damage
    is fuel filtration filter.
[09:01] ---
    Filter?
[09:03] ---
    Proposal. Replace immediately.
[09:05] ---
    There's no way I can do that
    in this condition—
[09:09] ---
    Why would you do that again?
[09:12] ---
    What're you trying to do?
[09:13] ---
    - Scary!
    - Scary! Scary!
[09:14] ---
    If you're scared, don't come near me!
[09:16] ---
    B-But your body doesn't move.
[09:20] ---
    You probably got sick.
[09:22] ---
    So we fix sickness.
[09:25] ---
    Huh? Fix? You mean me?
    You're just a machine lifeform!
[09:30] ---
    Looked up how in a book.
[09:33] ---
    First, chill head.
[09:36] ---
    Next, warm body.
[09:39] ---
    Warm body more.
[09:43] ---
    Wait, is that...
[09:45] ---
    Stop that, idiots!
    Don't get that near me!
[09:47] ---
    Hey, box! Stop them!
[09:49] ---
    Large voice! Scary!
[09:51] ---
    Not recommended.
    Inappropriate as treatment action.
[09:55] ---
    We can't?
[09:56] ---
    Can't.
[09:58] ---
    Then, next, take medicine.
[10:02] ---
    We made it together.
[10:04] ---
    Take medicine.
[10:06] ---
    H-Hey, hurry up and stop this, too!
[10:10] ---
    No harmful substances found.
    Determined to not be dangerous.
[10:15] ---
    Gimme a break! Then you drink it!
[10:15] ---
    Come on. Drink.
[10:17] ---
    My, my. We have quite the party here.
[10:20] ---
    Uncle Pascal.
[10:23] ---
    Oh, did I interrupt something?
    Please, continue.
[10:27] ---
    Hold it! You!
[10:28] ---
    I'm joking.
[10:32] ---
    Sorry about the children earlier.
[10:35] ---
    Again, my name is Pascal.
    I am the leader of this village.
[10:41] ---
    I heard that you're unable to move.
[10:43] ---
    Don't get near me.
[10:47] ---
    It seems the children caused you
    more trouble than expected.
[10:52] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[10:54] ---
    But those children are thinking
    in their own way and trying to help you.
[11:01] ---
    Though, it seems their methodology
    was a bit off.
[11:06] ---
    They're so scared, it feels abnormal.
[11:08] ---
    Oh?
[11:09] ---
    Those little ones. They can't even kill
    one weakened android like that.
[11:16] ---
    That's because
    I taught those children...
[11:20] ---
    about fear.
[11:23] ---
    Fear?
[11:24] ---
    Yes.
[11:25] ---
    I've been teaching the children
    all sorts of emotions and knowledge.
[11:30] ---
    Among them, I taught fear as the most important idea
    to protect themselves from harm.
[11:36] ---
    I tell them that it's important to know
    what it means to be afraid.
[11:40] ---
    Why?
[11:42] ---
    Because if you don't know...
[11:44] ---
    they won't have a fear of dying.
[11:48] ---
    I taught them very well to especially fear
    those with weapons and act with animosity.
[11:56] ---
    I have a hatred of machine lifeforms.
[12:01] ---
    I will destroy every last one of you.
    That is my objective!
[12:06] ---
    But you didn't kill.
[12:09] ---
    I was actually worried
    so I'd been secretly watching you.
[12:13] ---
    "This is the only time they get off the hook."
[12:16] ---
    You have a surprisingly
    strong sense of duty.
[12:19] ---
    That was...
[12:20] ---
    You were recorded
    as a dangerous android.
[12:23] ---
    But when I speak with you like this,
    I get a very different impression of you.
[12:28] ---
    That must be why the children
    all warmed up to you.
[12:32] ---
    That's not possible.
[12:33] ---
    But if they were truly scared,
    they wouldn't even get close.
[12:38] ---
    I'm sure they realized that
    you were not a bad person. Yes, yes.
[12:43] ---
    Like I care!
[12:44] ---
    Please take good care of them
    from now on.
[12:48] ---
    Damn it. Each and every one of you
    don't listen.
[12:51] ---
    Query. Specific targets denoted
    by "each and every one."
[12:57] ---
    I'm talking about you!
[13:09] ---
    Good place, right?
[13:10] ---
    We always play here.
[13:13] ---
    How does it feel to ride in it?
[13:17] ---
    It's awesome, right?
[13:19] ---
    Damn it, if only my body would move...
[13:22] ---
    When did you get something
    like this ready to begin with?
[13:25] ---
    Uncle Pascal said we'd need it.
[13:29] ---
    We gathered the materials.
[13:32] ---
    We felt sorry for you because
    you haven't been able to move.
[13:37] ---
    That's none of your business.
[13:40] ---
    Sheesh.
[13:42] ---
    What's with this place?
[13:45] ---
    Machine lifeforms with no animosity...
[13:47] ---
    Children...
[13:49] ---
    Is this how the enemy is evolving?
[13:53] ---
    My objective is to destroy
    machine lifeforms.
[13:59] ---
    I live only to do that.
[14:02] ---
    Or so I thought.
[14:05] ---
    Answer.
[14:06] ---
    If the filter is replaced,
    you will immediately regain function.
[14:10] ---
    That's right. I still have you.
[14:12] ---
    Go grab me
    a replacement filter immediately.
[14:14] ---
    Negative.
[14:15] ---
    Huh?
[14:16] ---
    I cannot obey that command.
[14:18] ---
    You're the one who said
    you were going to tag along with me.
[14:21] ---
    Answer. YoRHa unit A2 lacks the authority
    to issue commands.
[14:25] ---
    Also, as A2 cannot act on her own behalf,
    in order to procure safety,
[14:31] ---
    it is impossible to be separated
    by more than 100 meters.
[14:32] ---
    Useless box.
[14:34] ---
    Presenting alternative.
    Requesting Pascal.
[14:37] ---
    If I'm going to be in any more care
    under the machine lifeforms, I'd rather die.
[14:42] ---
    Is that a friend?
[14:44] ---
    It's not!
[14:45] ---
    Then, family?
[14:49] ---
    I don't have anyone like that!
[14:54] ---
    - I'm sorry!
    - She's angry! Scary!
[14:56] ---
    Scary! Scary!
[14:56] ---
    H-Hey. What is it?
[14:58] ---
    Scary! Scary!
[14:59] ---
    Hey, box! Do something!
[15:01] ---
    Negative. A2 needs to deal
    with the current situation by herself.
[15:06] ---
    Damn it! Don't cry!
    Don't make a riot! Shut up!
[15:10] ---
    Man, it's so fun. Such fun.
    How fun this is.
[15:15] ---
    It's so much fun not to be alone.
[15:19] ---
    It's fun. So fun.
[15:20] ---
    Scary! Scary! Fun? Fun?
[15:21] ---
    It's the best feeling to not be alone.
[15:23] ---
    Fun? Fun?
[15:28] ---
    What the hell am I doing?
[15:30] ---
    Not alone? What does that mean?
[15:33] ---
    I don't understand.
[15:35] ---
    What is alone?
[15:37] ---
    Is alone tasty?
[15:39] ---
    You don't understand?
[15:40] ---
    I've been together with everyone
    here ever since I was born.
[15:47] ---
    Not being alone
    is like how you guys are now.
[15:52] ---
    Us?
[15:54] ---
    That's right.
[15:55] ---
    Though, you won't necessarily
    be together forever.
[15:59] ---
    No matter how much fun it is,
    you will part ways someday.
[16:03] ---
    Even if it's someone
    who can never be replaced...
[16:08] ---
    So take care of the present,
    your allies, and your family.
[16:14] ---
    Allies... Family...
[16:16] ---
    Take care of present.
[16:18] ---
    Got it, Big Sis!
[16:21] ---
    B-Big Sis?
[16:22] ---
    Big Sis! Big Sis!
[16:24] ---
    Damn it! Stop calling me that!
    Stop making a riot! Shut up!
[16:29] ---
    And here I thought you got all quiet.
    I've had enough of this!
[16:31] ---
    Your speech pattern has gotten quite rough.
[16:36] ---
    Who are you?
[16:38] ---
    Oh, have you forgotten?
[16:43] ---
    It can't be...
[16:45] ---
    Lily?
[16:48] ---
    Yes, Ms. Number 2.
[16:52] ---
    9S, your current condition
    is far from perfect.
[16:56] ---
    Proposal. Return to Resistance Camp.
[17:12] ---
    I don't recognize your face.
[17:16] ---
    That visor... YoRHa, huh?
[17:21] ---
    You look like
    you're wondering what this is.
[17:23] ---
    This is a grave.
[17:25] ---
    Grave?
[17:27] ---
    Yes.
[17:28] ---
    Humans supposedly had a tradition
    of mourning their dead.
[17:32] ---
    They place flowers with wishes
    for their souls to rest in peace.
[17:38] ---
    They were all valuable comrades.
[17:42] ---
    Well, it's just mimicking them.
    But this is the least I can do.
[17:47] ---
    Do you want to mourn someone?
[17:49] ---
    Huh?
[17:50] ---
    That face...
    You lost someone important to you, yes?
[17:56] ---
    If...
[17:57] ---
    If we have things
    that we can call souls,
[18:01] ---
    a feeling of mourning
    would not be meaningless.
[18:10] ---
    I see.
[18:12] ---
    You still haven't...
[18:20] ---
    Everything feel okay?
[18:22] ---
    Yeah.
[18:24] ---
    Thanks for your hard work.
[18:25] ---
    - It's nothing.
    - Yeah.
[18:26] ---
    Without you guys, we would've
    lost all our surviving allies.
[18:31] ---
    You have my gratitude.
[18:33] ---
    This is our role.
[18:36] ---
    I see.
[18:38] ---
    Then, if you will excuse us, Leader.
[18:44] ---
    Leader, huh?
[18:48] ---
    In any case...
[18:50] ---
    You look really different now.
[18:52] ---
    I don't know how to put it,
    but you've gotten wilder.
[18:57] ---
    Leave me be.
[18:58] ---
    The air around you
    has changed quite a bit, too.
[19:04] ---
    So, the other guys...
[19:07] ---
    You know more than anyone else.
[19:13] ---
    I see.
[19:15] ---
    You're right.
[19:17] ---
    "Use that to protect."
[19:20] ---
    Captain Rose entrusted me.
[19:24] ---
    That's why I'm serving as the leader.
[19:27] ---
    Don't you have something
    entrusted to you as well, Number 2?
[19:33] ---
    I...
[19:35] ---
    Oh, and do give thanks to Pascal later.
[19:38] ---
    Huh?
[19:39] ---
    The fuel filter was originally created
    in his village.
[19:42] ---
    What? Are you sane? They're...
[19:45] ---
    I know that.
[19:46] ---
    I hate machine lifeforms as well.
[19:50] ---
    But right now, as a leader, I have things
    that have higher priority than my hatred.
[19:56] ---
    And that's the pot
    calling the kettle black.
[20:00] ---
    The kids warmed up to you
    quite a bit in Pascal's village.
[20:04] ---
    The kids were doing that without asking!
[20:06] ---
    It's not like I got to be
    good friends with them.
[20:08] ---
    In any case, it's a misunderstanding!
[20:11] ---
    Even though you speak differently, your heart
    hasn't changed one bit from back then.
[20:15] ---
    Ms. Number 2.
[20:16] ---
    Why you...
[20:18] ---
    Oh no, it's a good thing.
[20:20] ---
    A great thing.
[20:26] ---
    9S, your current condition
    is far from perfect.
[20:30] ---
    Proposal. Return to Resistance—
[20:32] ---
    Shut up!
[20:33] ---
