[00:01] ---
    Ah, simply thinking of that person
    makes my heart falter into a thousand pieces.

[00:08] ---
    Your Highness, what agonizes you so?
    Tomorrow is your coronation.

[00:14] ---
    That... Do not speak of that.
[00:17] ---
    So this is where you were.
[00:19] ---
    I thought you were dead.
[00:22] ---
    The songstress is mine.
[00:24] ---
    Please escape.
[00:26] ---
    You won't escape.
[00:27] ---
    I'll strike you down.
[00:36] ---
    True love is mine.
[00:41] ---
    Tomorrow is sunny.
[00:42] ---
    Tasty. Tasty.
[00:45] ---
    Will you take a bath?
    Or will you eat a meal?

[00:48] ---
    Will you take a bath?
    Or will you eat a meal?

[00:51] ---
    Will you take a bath?
    Or will you eat a meal?

[02:36] ---
    Okay!
[02:37] ---
    Here.
[02:38] ---
    Now, drink up.
[02:40] ---
    You can't drink Terran water
    this fresh in the Bunker.
[02:43] ---
    Come on, take a swill.
[02:45] ---
    I have no need.
[02:47] ---
    Come on, what is it?
    You can't drink my water?
[02:50] ---
    I’m sorry. We YoRHa units automatically
    replenish water from our internal tanks.
[02:57] ---
    I see. You guys
    have really convenient bodies.
[03:00] ---
    However, we will accept your sentiment.
[03:04] ---
    That means this so-called tank...
[03:07] ---
    Quietly approach...
[03:09] ---
    and squeeze.
[03:10] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:12] ---
    - Where is it attached? Come on, come on.
    - S-Stop that!
[03:16] ---
    Jackass, that’s enough.
[03:18] ---
    Boo.
[03:21] ---
    So, what did you guys see?
[03:25] ---
    We...
[03:27] ---
    followed a special unit we found in the desert.
[03:30] ---
    It led us to a place where we confirmed
    countless android corpses.
[03:33] ---
    The machine lifeforms...
[03:36] ---
    It was their doing.
[03:38] ---
    Then, we were caught in a collapse.
[03:42] ---
    Two mutants? Simultaneously?
[03:45] ---
    Yes. It was a type
    we've never seen before.
[03:48] ---
    And were you able to defeat them?
[03:50] ---
    No, unfortunately. We uploaded the combat data
    to the Bunker where it's currently being analyzed.
[03:56] ---
    That machine lifeform
    looked just like an android.
[04:01] ---
    I wish I saw that wonderful sample
    with my own eyes.
[04:05] ---
    It was evolving at tremendous speed
    from the moment it emerged.
[04:09] ---
    Furthermore, it was capable of speaking words.
[04:11] ---
    It was simply mimicking a human.
[04:15] ---
    But in due time, it might end up
    becoming a being that surpasses humanity.
[04:19] ---
    That's going too far, Jackass.
[04:21] ---
    Lately, machine lifeforms
    have been clearly changing.
[04:25] ---
    Perhaps we might be able to negotiate
    in some way. There is precedence.
[04:30] ---
    Precedence?
[04:31] ---
    Even if we could understand,
    our existences are irreconcilable after all.
[04:36] ---
    We might be able
    to find a path for a ceasefire.
[04:39] ---
    A ceasefire?
[04:40] ---
    Such a thing won't reclaim this planet for us.
[04:44] ---
    Besides...
[04:45] ---
    Besides?
[04:46] ---
    All of our allies who’ve died...
    What have they been fighting for?
[04:51] ---
    What did they believe in?
[04:53] ---
    Those reasons will all disappear.
[04:55] ---
    The mission given to us androids
[04:58] ---
    is to destroy machine lifeforms for humanity
    and regain control of Earth.
[05:04] ---
    How much longer will you fight this war
    that’s continued for several thousand years?
[05:10] ---
    Until...
[05:12] ---
    every last one of them has been destroyed.
[05:17] ---
    In any case, we can only do
    what we are supposed to do for now.
[05:22] ---
    This conversation is over.
[05:24] ---
    We androids who simply follow orders,
[05:28] ---
    and machine lifeforms that are starting
    to want freedom, huh?
[05:34] ---
    We androids were modeled
    after our human creators.
[05:39] ---
    So why would machine lifeforms
    try to mimic us?
[05:43] ---
    There's no point trying to work out
    unsolvable problems.
[05:47] ---
    I suppose.
[06:10] ---
    This is Commander White
    of Satellite Orbit Base Bunker.
[06:13] ---
    Concerning the operation
    currently underway,
[06:15] ---
    it is difficult to continue
    with just 2B and 9S after all.
[06:20] ---
    Data collection will prove
    to be difficult unless we—
[06:22] ---
    Commander.
[06:23] ---
    As we have said multiple times, we cannot
    approve your requests for backup.

[06:30] ---
    Use the Resistance onsite as decoys
    and execute your mission.

[06:34] ---
    However, if we don't do something, not only
    the Resistance decoys, but 2B and 9S will—
[06:39] ---
    The special machine lifeform units
    encountered last week, Adam and Eve,

[06:44] ---
    and all unique machine lifeform units
    that you will contact in the future,

[06:49] ---
    are all embedded within the plan
    of Project YoRHa.

[06:53] ---
    Even then, this is too...
[06:54] ---
    Everything is for the victory of humanity.
[06:57] ---
    Those in our position must make
    decisions with things in perspective.

[07:04] ---
    Even if many sacrifices
    are necessary for that purpose?
[07:08] ---
    That's right. And you are already
    in the same position as we are.

[07:16] ---
    Glory to mankind.
[07:21] ---
    Glory to mankind.
[07:31] ---
    Commander.
[07:32] ---
    What is it?
[07:34] ---
    I was able to establish communication
    with 2B and 9S.

[07:37] ---
    May I brief them of the mission details
    that had been planned?

[07:41] ---
    Yes.
[07:50] ---
    This sunny weather sure makes you sleepy.
    Why don’t we sleep for a little bit?
[07:55] ---
    There is no need.
[07:56] ---
    Humans in the past
    used to take something called naps.
[08:01] ---
    Sleeping when it wasn't necessary...
    Humans are so interesting.
[08:09] ---
    What's that?
[08:10] ---
    Oh, right. You've never
    seen one before, huh?
[08:13] ---
    They're launching supplies from Earth
    to the Bunker and the human base on the moon.
[08:19] ---
    After all, there are no parts or fuel
    in outer space.
[08:22] ---
    I see.
[08:25] ---
    Why don't machine lifeforms, or the aliens
    who created them, directly attack the Bunker?
[08:32] ---
    They must have come
    from outer space to begin with.
[08:34] ---
    I don't quite understand how aliens think.
[08:39] ---
    Operator 21O to 9S and 2B.
[08:43] ---
    Yes, yes?
[08:44] ---
    A recon request from the commander.
    I will now play the message.

[08:48] ---
    We have confirmed multiple machine lifeforms
    that have shown an amicable reaction.

[08:53] ---
    The YoRHa Soldier who went to investigate
    left an incomprehensible final vocal message,

[08:57] ---
    and then severed comms.
[09:01] ---
    Oh, what an amusing stage...
[09:06] ---
    What does this mean?
[09:08] ---
    Who knows?
[09:09] ---
    As the black box signal can still be confirmed,
    we assume that she has not died yet.

[09:15] ---
    We have narrowed down the point
    where the signal is originating.

[09:18] ---
    I order the two of you
    to investigate this case.

[09:21] ---
    Also, the special machine lifeform
    in your report is still under investigation.

[09:26] ---
    We will contact you
    when we gain new information.

[09:29] ---
    That concludes the communication.
[09:32] ---
    A missing solder. That's worrisome.
[09:38] ---
    Yeah.
[09:42] ---
    I heard that in the past, YoRHa and Resistance
    did not get along.
[09:46] ---
    Do you know anything about that?
[09:47] ---
    No.
[09:49] ---
    Do you know anything, Pod?
[09:51] ---
    The relationship with the Resistance
    is filed in a record categorized as Access Denied.

[09:55] ---
    Cannot answer.
[09:57] ---
    It's likely some faction war or something.
[10:00] ---
    They didn't have to resemble humans
    in that aspect.
[10:04] ---
    - Work is best done peacefully, on friendly terms...
    - It's best done quietly.
[10:08] ---
    Okay.
[10:28] ---
    AMUSEMENT PARK
[10:31] ---
    This is...
[10:32] ---
    the target location?
[10:33] ---
    Looks like it.
[10:47] ---
    Fun. Fun.
[10:50] ---
    Fun. Fun.
[10:53] ---
    Joy. Share.
[10:56] ---
    They're not attacking us?
[10:58] ---
    Are these the friendly machine lifeforms
    they mentioned in the report?
[11:08] ---
    Soon, fun stage will begin.
[11:12] ---
    Could it be the location that was reported
    in the voice message?
[11:20] ---
    Report. Faint black box signal detected.
[11:26] ---
    Looks like that's the place.
[11:31] ---
    Report. Multiple android signals
    detected beyond this door.

[11:45] ---
    What is this place?
[11:54] ---
    Oh, what beautiful moonlight.
[11:58] ---
    Please be careful.
    The moon can drive men insane.

[12:03] ---
    I am already insane,
    thanks to an anomaly called love.

[12:10] ---
    What in the world
    are those machine lifeforms doing?
[12:13] ---
    A play. Drawing out
    human life atop a stage.

[12:18] ---
    Human life? They're machine lifeforms.
    How ludicrous.
[12:23] ---
    Oh. It's the twelve o'clock bell.
[12:26] ---
    Prince.
[12:27] ---
    Lady Songstress.
[12:29] ---
    What’s going on?
[13:03] ---
    What is this?
[13:05] ---
    No similar type data available
    in past combat records.

[13:08] ---
    It's a mutated unit.
[13:10] ---
    Pod. Covering fire.
[13:12] ---
    Affirmative.
[13:28] ---
    What is it doing?
[13:33] ---
    2B!
[13:34] ---
    We should retreat for now!
[13:40] ---
    Copy that.
[13:44] ---
    Report. Due to enemy electromagnetic waves,
    retreat from this combat area is not possible.

[14:01] ---
    It’s disadvantageous
    to keep fighting like this.
[14:03] ---
    I can hack in and...
[14:05] ---
    Is the enemy hacking us?
[14:09] ---
    Must become beautiful.
    Put on many adornments.

[14:14] ---
    I will become beautiful.
[14:19] ---
    2B.
[14:20] ---
    It's nothing serious. More importantly...
[14:22] ---
    The "many adornments"?
[14:26] ---
    The enemy’s behavior...
[14:35] ---
    The core.
[14:35] ---
    If we can destroy that...
[14:38] ---
    I will. I will...
[14:41] ---
    become more and more beautiful.
[14:50] ---
    Are these android corpses?
[14:55] ---
    Is it repurposing the corpses to attack?
[14:58] ---
    No, this is...
[14:59] ---
    Black box signals have been confirmed.
[15:02] ---
    They've been altered into weapons
    while still alive.
[15:05] ---
    Proposal. Retreat.
[15:07] ---
    I will end this here.
[15:18] ---
    I’ll hack into it.
[15:20] ---
    Please cover for me.
[15:21] ---
    Roger.
[15:36] ---
    This place...
[15:45] ---
    Hey.
[15:46] ---
    Am I beautiful?
[15:48] ---
    This is like emotions...
[15:50] ---
    Hey.
[15:51] ---
    Beautiful?
[15:53] ---
    - Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?
    - Help me. Help me.

[15:57] ---
    Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?
[15:57] ---
    What in the world...
[15:59] ---
    Hey, am I beautiful?
[16:01] ---
    Why you...
[16:05] ---
    More.
[16:07] ---
    And more.
[16:10] ---
    Beautiful.
[16:15] ---
    Someone. Someone help me.
[16:19] ---
    No. No.
[16:22] ---
    No, no, no, no.
[16:25] ---
    No, no, no, no.
[16:26] ---
    Alert. Saturation attack triggered
    by enemy consciousness data.

[16:30] ---
    Possibility of immense damage
    to memory sector.

[16:33] ---
    9S.
[16:41] ---
    I...
[16:42] ---
    love you.
[16:44] ---
    I really...
[16:46] ---
    love you.
[16:47] ---
    Just die...
[16:48] ---
    already!
[17:06] ---
    Let go.
[17:07] ---
    This is also bad.
[17:08] ---
    This is also bad.
[17:10] ---
    This too. This is also bad.
[17:13] ---
    This is also bad. This is also bad.
[17:16] ---
    This is also bad. This is also bad.
[17:20] ---
    I'm sick of this.
[17:25] ---
    Help. Kill me. Kill me.
[17:27] ---
    Stop it...
[17:28] ---
    For his sake. For his...
[17:32] ---
    ...sake.
[17:48] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[17:51] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[17:55] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[17:59] ---
    Alert. Enemy consciousness is running wild
    and trying to assimilate 9S.

[18:07] ---
    Pod. Utilize emergency usage
    of my hacking attacks to the enemy.
[18:12] ---
    Inadvisable.
[18:13] ---
    Hacking done by Type B models have
    the possibility of logic corruption. Unsuitable.

[18:15] ---
    Give me a bypass to 9S.
    Just hurry up and do it!
[18:18] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[18:26] ---
    Damn it.
[18:31] ---
    2B!
[18:33] ---
    Why are you here?
[18:33] ---
    That’s mine.
[18:35] ---
    Give it back to me.
[18:39] ---
    There you are.
[19:00] ---
    Pod!
[19:01] ---
    Affirmative.
[19:03] ---
    Go!
[19:09] ---
    I... became beautiful.
[19:23] ---
    2B!
[19:30] ---
    Thank you very much
    for saving me just now.
[19:33] ---
    But to do something
    as reckless as hacking...
[19:36] ---
    Don't worry about it. I'm fine.
[19:39] ---
    What's that?
[19:42] ---
    This crystal...
    Is it the machine lifeform's core?
[19:46] ---
    Analysis. It is a fragment of the core
    from the machine lifeform.

[19:50] ---
    Structurally similar to a plant cell.
[19:53] ---
    Plant cell?
[19:56] ---
    This machine lifeform
    was saying strange things.
[20:00] ---
    It was like emotions were...
[20:01] ---
    Such things don't exist
    for machine lifeforms.
[20:09] ---
    M...
[20:12] ---
    M... M...
[20:15] ---
    Mom.
[20:18] ---
    W-Wait. Please wait.
[20:22] ---
    Play. We just came
    to watch the play. Please.

[20:27] ---
    Please. Please. Please.
[20:32] ---
    Please. Please.
[20:36] ---
    P-Please. Please.
[20:39] ---
    Not my daughter...
[21:02] ---
    You can't hesitate.
[21:03] ---
    2B.
[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
    “WE ARE THE ‘THIRTEENTH SATELLITE MOBILE BASE’”
[22:54] ---
    We YoRHa Soldiers are...
[22:55] ---
    ...weapons for the Final Battle.
[22:58] ---
    The decisions of the Council of Humanity...
[22:59] ---
    ...must be obeyed at all costs.
[23:01] ---
    21O. Report on the operation rate
    of the flight assistance units.
[23:04] ---
    Yes. The maintenance team
    has reported a 99% operation rate.
[23:09] ---
    Next. 6O. What's going on
    with the satellite laser weapon?
[23:12] ---
    Y-Yes. The tech team has reported
    it will resume operations soon.
[23:17] ---
    What? It hasn't recovered
    from the last time it was used?
[23:20] ---
    You guys are slacking. Machine lifeforms
    won't wait for us. Tell them to hurry!
[23:24] ---
    Y-Yes!
[23:25] ---
    Listen up. We YoRHa Soldiers
    are the spear of hope for humanity.
[23:29] ---
    Engrave that into your hearts
    once again. Got that?
[23:32] ---
    Yes, Ma'am!
[23:34] ---
    Some YoRHa units abandoned their mission.
    The operation failed,
    and every android met their demise.
[23:37] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
