**[00:03] ---**
Wow.
**[00:05] ---**
This area has heavy encroachment of plants,
but in its day, it must have been a large city.
**[00:12] ---**
Don't you think so, Ms. 2B?
**[00:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:17] ---**
There we go.
**[00:18] ---**
Oh boy. You YoRHa Soldiers
really are strong.
**[00:21] ---**
Can you really see
through those blindfolds?
**[00:24] ---**
These are not blindfolds,
but special visors.
**[00:27] ---**
Anyways, why are maintenance androids
on the front line?
**[00:30] ---**
I thought that was strange as well.
**[00:33] ---**
That's not an efficient allocation, is it?
**[00:36] ---**
It's something that they wish to do.
**[00:43] ---**
Ms. 2B, I'll be right back.
**[00:45] ---**
Um, I'm a Scanner type,
so I can switch with you if you'd like.
**[00:48] ---**
No. 2... Type B...
**[00:53] ---**
Is it here?
**[00:54] ---**
Yeah. The destination
is on the other side of this wall.
**[00:58] ---**
This thing...
**[01:00] ---**
Oh, that?
**[01:01] ---**
One of our allies brought it here,
but it's heavy and we have no other way to use it.
**[01:06] ---**
There are rumors
that it's part of a Goliath machine lifeform.
**[01:10] ---**
But that's probably a lie.
**[01:21] ---**
Welcome...
**[01:24] ---**
to the Resistance Camp.
**[03:05] ---**
RESISTANCE CAMP
**[03:08] ---**
*Everyone listening to the radio,
this is Morning Letter brought to you by me, 24D!*
**[03:15] ---**
*Let's get started.
Today's weather is sunny!*
**[03:19] ---**
*It's not like we're a nocturnal nation.*
**[03:20] ---**
So this is the Resistance Camp.
Ms. 2B, first things first—
**[03:22] ---**
*We have no time to sleep as denizens
of a daytime nation! Just kidding.*
**[03:23] ---**
9S.
**[03:24] ---**
Yes, what is it?
**[03:26] ---**
You don't need to use honorifics.
**[03:28] ---**
You don't need to add "Ms." to my name.
**[03:33] ---**
Understood, M... No, 2B!
**[03:39] ---**
You guys must be the YoRHa Soldiers.
**[03:41] ---**
I heard you guys
helped out my buddies. Thanks.
**[03:45] ---**
Oh, no problem.
**[03:46] ---**
I handle the weapons, so come on by anytime
and consult me if you're ever in trouble.
**[03:52] ---**
I even have treasured items ready for you.
**[03:54] ---**
I see.
**[03:55] ---**
Be careful, both of you from YoRHa.
**[03:58] ---**
This Weapons Trader is quick
to switch talk to business like that.
**[04:02] ---**
By the way, are there any items you need?
**[04:05] ---**
We deal with chips and electronic drugs,
and also buy out—
**[04:09] ---**
Hey, Supply Trader!
You're doing some business talk yourself!
**[04:12] ---**
There, there.
**[04:13] ---**
Is there something you don't want
inside that thing on your back?
**[04:18] ---**
Come to think, what is inside that bag?
**[04:23] ---**
That's a secret.
**[04:26] ---**
You two from YoRHa.
**[04:31] ---**
Can I have a moment?
**[04:35] ---**
Sorry for pointing my gun at you earlier.
**[04:38] ---**
My name is Lily.
**[04:40] ---**
I round up
the android Resistance in this area.
**[04:45] ---**
First of all, let me say thanks
for helping us out.
**[04:48] ---**
Helping the Resistance is one of our missions.
No need for thanks.
**[04:52] ---**
Now, now. Let's genuinely
be grateful of their gratitude.
**[04:55] ---**
Ms. Lily, I am 9S of the YoRHa Soldiers,
and she is 2B.
**[04:59] ---**
And those floating around us
are our Pods, tactical support units.
**[05:04] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:05] ---**
What?
**[05:06] ---**
Oh? Perhaps you know 2B?
**[05:10] ---**
No.
**[05:11] ---**
Leader.
**[05:13] ---**
I heard that you got assaulted.
I'm glad you're okay.
**[05:16] ---**
By the way, I heard someone sent
another rescue signal to the Council of Humanity?
**[05:19] ---**
They sure keep doing useless things.
That, and I have a report.
**[05:24] ---**
Are these rookies?
**[05:25] ---**
Oh, Jackass, let me introduce you.
**[05:28] ---**
These are YoRHa Soldiers 2B and 9S, in reply
to the assistance request to the Council of Humanity.
**[05:33] ---**
Um, I'm 9S and—
**[05:34] ---**
Wow!
**[05:36] ---**
So you guys are YoRHa Soldiers!?
**[05:41] ---**
I didn't send 2B and 9S down
in reply to the assistance request.
**[05:46] ---**
We YoRHa Soldiers are soldiers
directly under the Council of Humanity.
**[05:49] ---**
If we kept responding to each and every
assistance request from the Resistance,
**[05:53] ---**
it would hinder our operations.
**[05:55] ---**
The Resistance is fighting machine lifeforms
individually to begin with.
**[06:00] ---**
They don't have
a clear chain of command as a whole.
**[06:03] ---**
Then, why did you...
**[06:05] ---**
The behavior of the machine lifeforms
has been strange lately.
**[06:10] ---**
On top of that, we lost comms with the liaison
assigned to the area 2B and 9S are in now.
**[06:17] ---**
Reconnaissance has the danger
of virus infection.
**[06:20] ---**
And in those cases, if there are decoys
like the Resistance, they can buy some time.
**[06:25] ---**
Oh no.
**[06:27] ---**
We are fighting for the sake of mankind.
**[06:32] ---**
Can I take you apart a little bit,
just a little bit, and analyze you?
**[06:37] ---**
I-I kindly decline your offer.
**[06:40] ---**
I see. Then dismantling that box
floating around you will suffice.
**[06:45] ---**
*Warning. Regulations state the act of intentionally
harming tactical support units will be punished.*
**[06:53] ---**
*Destruction recommended.*
**[06:54] ---**
You guys have absolutely no spirit of contributing
for the further development of science!?
**[07:00] ---**
*Hypothesis. A dangerous request
not defined for androids is occurring.*
**[07:01] ---**
I don't have enough data like this!
**[07:03] ---**
More. I need more data!
**[07:05] ---**
*Destruction recommended.*
**[07:07] ---**
Hmph! You cheapskates!
**[07:09] ---**
That's enough.
Didn't you have a report?
**[07:14] ---**
Oh, that's right!
**[07:19] ---**
There are multiple sightings of a vicious
machine lifeform in the ruins area of the desert.
**[07:25] ---**
It's a phenomenon that hasn't happened in the past,
so something might be going on.
**[07:31] ---**
Ms. Lily, we were also assigned
to investigate that same thing.
**[07:36] ---**
If you don't mind,
can you trust us with it?
**[07:38] ---**
You say that, but...
**[07:41] ---**
It's fine, isn’t it?
**[07:42] ---**
If the state-of-the-art YoRHa Soldiers
want to do the recon, that would help us out, too.
**[07:47] ---**
Jackass.
**[07:48] ---**
Then I'll bring the car over.
**[07:50] ---**
That’s fine, right, Leader?
**[07:53] ---**
We're fine with that, but...
**[07:58] ---**
Just be careful.
**[08:01] ---**
That settles it!
And so, let’s take care of each other.
**[08:03] ---**
Yes, indeed.
**[08:05] ---**
And if you ever feel like letting me
take you apart, let me know any—
**[08:08] ---**
That will never happen.
**[08:10] ---**
I'll just bring the truck over.
**[08:13] ---**
Recon together with YoRHa...
That means data...
**[08:16] ---**
- We’ll be heading out now.
- I can take as much data as I want.
**[08:18] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:19] ---**
2B, doesn't the desert
get you excited for some reason?
**[08:22] ---**
YoRHa, huh?
**[08:23] ---**
Not really.
**[08:37] ---**
Everyone.
**[08:42] ---**
I'm still fighting.
**[08:51] ---**
*The desert has a high temperature
and strong sunlight.*
**[08:54] ---**
*Replenishment will be difficult.*
**[08:55] ---**
*Both of you, please head out
after making sufficient preparations.*
**[08:59] ---**
*Well then, Operator 6O over and out!*
**[09:02] ---**
She worries too much.
**[09:04] ---**
That's a good thing.
**[09:05] ---**
The operator in charge of routine comms
with me is a lot more formal.
**[09:10] ---**
She treats me like a child.
**[09:12] ---**
Isn't that simply a problem
with your own attitude, 9S?
**[09:15] ---**
We're about to head into a dangerous area,
and the YoRHa Soldiers are so composed.
**[09:20] ---**
2B and 9S, was it? I'm Jackass.
Again, good to meet you.
**[09:25] ---**
The pleasure is ours, Jackass.
**[09:28] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:34] ---**
Oh, there it is.
**[09:40] ---**
We're already here?
**[09:42] ---**
No, no.
**[09:43] ---**
We have to open the sealed entrance first.
**[09:47] ---**
Yes. But why are we so far away?
**[09:50] ---**
Oh, that's because...
**[09:58] ---**
it's dangerous if we get caught in that.
**[10:00] ---**
Now, we'll speed up a bit from here!
**[10:04] ---**
H-Hold on!
**[10:06] ---**
Be careful.
**[10:07] ---**
Thanks, 2B. Wait a second.
**[10:09] ---**
*Recommendation.
Rapid extraction of tactical support unit.*
**[10:13] ---**
*Predicting hindrance of recon mission
due to loss of tactical support unit.*
**[10:13] ---**
Jackass! Go back! Go back!
**[10:19] ---**
DESERT ZONE
**[10:21] ---**
Lately, there’ve been units
among the machine lifeforms that speak.
**[10:25] ---**
Our leader was saying
it was getting a bit hard to work with.
**[10:27] ---**
Indeed, we can confirm
an increase of those units, too.
**[10:31] ---**
Machine lifeforms that speak...
**[10:33] ---**
Machines without souls
are simply pretending to be androids.
**[10:38] ---**
On top of that, the enemies
are making remarkable evolution.
**[10:41] ---**
You saved us by coming in to assist.
**[10:45] ---**
I'm sorry.
We didn't come here to assist.
**[10:50] ---**
*Warning. Enemy signals detected.*
**[10:52] ---**
Jackass!
**[11:14] ---**
*Scary. Stay away.*
**[11:18] ---**
*Androids. Scary. Desert.*
**[11:26] ---**
*No. Help me.*
**[11:32] ---**
I'll weaken that big one by hacking in.
**[11:35] ---**
Meanwhile, please get the others.
**[11:36] ---**
Understood.
**[11:38] ---**
*Help me.*
**[11:40] ---**
Hacking!
**[11:45] ---**
*You cry out for help as you attack.
You're a machine, after all.*
**[11:49] ---**
*You're simply
uttering words in random order.*
**[11:52] ---**
*The protection level
isn't all too different from the others.*
**[11:55] ---**
*I think I can
make something of this fairly quickly.*
**[12:02] ---**
A door?
**[12:14] ---**
One, and tu, and thunfofai.
**[12:18] ---**
One, and tu, and thunfofai.
**[12:22] ---**
One, and tu, and thunfofai.
**[12:22] ---**
What is this data?
**[12:25] ---**
One, and tu, and thunfofai.
**[12:26] ---**
The hacking is getting more in-depth?
**[12:27] ---**
*Fun. Wonderful.*
**[12:29] ---**
*Rule. Rule. 904! 904!*
**[12:34] ---**
*Enemy.*
**[12:36] ---**
*Don't get in the way.*
**[13:03] ---**
*What was that just now?*
**[13:07] ---**
*Machine lifeforms are...*
**[13:09] ---**
*No, they're just placing data
in random order.*
**[13:13] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[13:14] ---**
Nothing.
**[13:15] ---**
More importantly, is Jackass all right?
**[13:19] ---**
The face paint is similar
to that of past human collectives.
**[13:23] ---**
I've seen something like it in the data.
**[13:25] ---**
This information...
Was it obtaining this particular data from the mask?
**[13:31] ---**
Marvelous!
Nothing less from the YoRHa Soldiers!
**[13:34] ---**
Thanks to you,
I obtained great data! Thank you!
**[13:37] ---**
Now, let's hurry ahead
before the enemies gather here.
**[13:40] ---**
About our chat earlier...
**[13:43] ---**
If you didn't come here for assistance,
and investigating this spot was your main focus,
**[13:46] ---**
then you thought the Resistance
could be nothing more than a shield, right?
**[13:50] ---**
That's not necessarily...
**[13:52] ---**
Well, I'll keep that a secret
from Lily and the gang.
**[13:55] ---**
Why?
**[13:57] ---**
Even the Resistance
needs something called hope.
**[14:04] ---**
*Enemy signal approaching.*
**[14:14] ---**
*Death. Run. Scared.*
**[14:16] ---**
H-Hold on. That thing just now!
A machine lifeform fled from an enemy!
**[14:19] ---**
Is that even possible!?
**[14:21] ---**
*Run. Run.*
**[14:23] ---**
*Individual target ID marked.*
**[14:23] ---**
Get back here! Gimme your data!
**[14:27] ---**
I guess we should be going.
**[14:29] ---**
Copy that.
**[14:38] ---**
What is that?
**[14:39] ---**
*Analysis. Ruins of an area
formally used as residences for humans.*
**[14:43] ---**
*Made of steel frame and concrete, numerous
individuals dwelled in these high-rise structures.*
**[14:44] ---**
HOUSING COMPLEX
**[14:48] ---**
*The structures were referred to
by names such as "Housing Complex."*
**[14:50] ---**
They intentionally gathered
in large numbers to live together.
**[14:54] ---**
Was it dangerous around here in the past?
**[14:56] ---**
*Negative. They lived as a group for economic reasons
stemming from lack of real estate.*
**[15:02] ---**
I see. Humans are strange.
**[15:07] ---**
*Operator 21O to 9S.
Commencing scheduled report.*
**[15:13] ---**
Operator?
**[15:15] ---**
*Report. Indeterminate signal is causing
radio jamming. Comm status is unstable.*
**[15:21] ---**
An indeterminate signal?
**[15:22] ---**
*A signal differing from both
machine lifeforms and androids.*
**[15:26] ---**
*Answer. Lacking data.*
**[15:28] ---**
Can you at least determine its source?
**[15:30] ---**
*Analysis. Speculating that
it is the center of these buildings.*
**[15:34] ---**
What should we do, 2B?
**[15:36] ---**
Should we return to the Bunker
for now and contact...
**[15:39] ---**
*Persistent! Persistent!*
**[15:41] ---**
*Oh, a mistake.*
**[15:43] ---**
It just said "Oh, a mistake."
**[15:45] ---**
My gusto is starting to overflow!
**[15:54] ---**
Android corpses.
**[15:57] ---**
*Hypothesis. This is due to the machine lifeforms
residing in this area.*
**[16:02] ---**
Why would it be in a place like this?
**[16:04] ---**
*Lacking information. Unable to answer.*
**[16:07] ---**
9S!
**[16:10] ---**
This is...
**[16:11] ---**
the previously assigned liaison.
But how...
**[16:15] ---**
Hey, over here!
**[16:18] ---**
Are you all right?
This area is dangerous...
**[16:21] ---**
This is a machine lifeform, right?
**[16:25] ---**
I've never seen a unit like this before.
**[16:27] ---**
*Analysis result. Machine lifeform.*
**[16:29] ---**
*However, speculating to be
a special unit not in the data.*
**[16:33] ---**
*What happened here?*
**[16:36] ---**
Pod, what's the distance
to the indeterminate signal?
**[16:38] ---**
*Signal is coming
from the building up ahead.*
**[16:51] ---**
*Good weather today.*
**[16:52] ---**
This is amazing! So many samples!
**[16:54] ---**
*Hello how do you do.*
**[16:56] ---**
*- Why why why.
- Good weather today.*
**[16:59] ---**
*Stop everyone don't come so cruel.*
**[17:01] ---**
There are no enemy signals.
Can this be a graveyard for machine lifeforms?
**[17:02] ---**
*- Everyone died.
- Kill. Kill me.*
**[17:05] ---**
*Painful. Glad.*
**[17:08] ---**
An earthquake?
**[17:10] ---**
*Powerful indeterminate signal
detected from underground.*
**[17:13] ---**
Underground?
**[17:21] ---**
2B! 9S!
**[17:22] ---**
Jackass...
**[17:23] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:29] ---**
Thank you, Pod.
**[17:32] ---**
I didn't realize
there was such an underground cavern.
**[17:35] ---**
2B!
**[17:37] ---**
The pillar is made from machine lifeforms!
**[17:41] ---**
*Report. Information about current location
cannot be confirmed within past records.*
**[17:52] ---**
*Multiple machine lifeform signals up ahead.*
**[17:55] ---**
*Signal for current tracking unit
also confirmed.*
**[17:59] ---**
*Child. Child.*
**[18:01] ---**
*Child. Child.*
**[18:04] ---**
*Child.*
**[18:04] ---**
What is this?
**[18:06] ---**
*- Love. Love.
- Fun. Fun.*
**[18:07] ---**
Don't listen to them!
**[18:09] ---**
*Let's stay together. Hug. Hug.*
**[18:11] ---**
*They have no souls.
They are simply mimicking human language.*
**[18:12] ---**
*Love you boobies love love love.*
**[18:17] ---**
Let's destroy them!
**[18:19] ---**
*This. Cannot.*
**[18:20] ---**
*Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:21] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:23] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:25] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:27] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:28] ---**
What’s happening?
**[18:29] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:29] ---**
Are they broken?
**[18:31] ---**
*Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:34] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:37] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:39] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:40] ---**
When did so many of them..
**[18:41] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:43] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:45] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:47] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:49] ---**
*This. Cannot. Continue.*
**[18:52] ---**
What is this?
**[19:06] ---**
And... roid?
**[19:18] ---**
This is...
**[19:19] ---**
A machine lifeform! Pod!
**[19:24] ---**
*And... roids...*
**[19:27] ---**
*Why. Fight. Bullet...*
**[19:31] ---**
Repel.
**[19:34] ---**
2B! That guy is evolving!
**[19:36] ---**
Let's quickly settle the score!
**[19:38] ---**
Pod! Gather energy!
Close-range sniper mode!
**[19:42] ---**
Fire!
**[20:02] ---**
This is... a machine lifeform?
**[20:23] ---**
There’s another one?
**[20:38] ---**
Wh...
**[20:40] ---**
2B! Above you!
**[20:44] ---**
Look out!
**[20:52] ---**
Going any further is dangerous.
Let's retreat!
**[22:40] ---**
POD 042 REPORTING TO ALL OF MANKIND.
**[22:40] ---**
WE WILL NOW EXECUTE THE TASK
OF INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS
FOR THE VIDEO GAME "NIER:AUTOMATA." OVER.
**[22:44] ---**
PUPPET PLAY
NIER:AUTOMATA
“THE BOAR, DEER, AND BUTTERFLY”
**[22:49] ---**
Yes, yes, hello!
**[22:50] ---**
We are androids who fight for mankind day in
and day out, YoRHa No. 9 Type S AKA 9S and...
**[22:55] ---**
Likewise, YoRHa No. 2 Type B AKA 2B.
**[22:58] ---**
I know this is sudden, but 2B,
have you ever ridden an animal?
**[23:01] ---**
I have not.
**[23:02] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[23:04] ---**
First, I will take this acorn
out of my bag, and place it here.
**[23:10] ---**
Now!
**[23:13] ---**
You're looking really sharp, 2B!
**[23:15] ---**
Traveling like this occasionally
isn't that bad.
**[23:18] ---**
