[00:05] ---
    Hey, Big Brother?
[00:07] ---
    Why do we have to wear something
    cumbersome like underwear?
[00:12] ---
    According to the records, humans lived
    while covering up their groins.
[00:17] ---
    So just be quiet and wear them, Eve.
[00:20] ---
    All right.
    But why do I have to eat this plant?
[00:26] ---
    We machine lifeforms can move
    without eating something like this.
[00:31] ---
    Apparently mankind gained
    great intelligence from consuming this fruit.
[00:37] ---
    Stop whining and eat quietly.
[00:40] ---
    All right. If you say so, I will eat it.
[00:44] ---
    But when I'm done eating this,
    will you play with me?
[00:50] ---
    Yeah.
[00:53] ---
    Then I'll do my best to eat lots.
[02:40] ---
    Stop with that voice.
[02:42] ---
    I mean, YoRHa is still
    an elite squadron, right? And they...
[02:47] ---
    ask us to run a delivery errand.
[02:50] ---
    Since when do we run errands
    for the Resistance?
[02:55] ---
    It's important to build up a partnership
[02:56] ---
    with the Resistance
    as long as we're operating on land.
[03:00] ---
    So don't complain.
[03:02] ---
    Okay.
[03:04] ---
    If the mission was to simply deliver,
    I wouldn't complain.
[03:07] ---
    Besides...
[03:09] ---
    Errands are safer than combat.
[03:12] ---
    It’s better not to die than to die.
[03:16] ---
    You're right.
[03:20] ---
    By the way, 2B.
[03:21] ---
    Androids who know me well
    usually call me "Nines."
[03:26] ---
    So don't you think it's time?
[03:28] ---
    For what?
[03:29] ---
    Well, if you want to call me Nines,
    it's totally okay.
[03:33] ---
    Not yet.
[03:35] ---
    Oh, okay.
[03:37] ---
    Report. Approaching target location.
[03:53] ---
    This building...
[03:55] ---
    Analysis. A commercial structure
    used by humans.

[03:59] ---
    Called a "shopping center,"
    it was a facility where a diverse array

[04:01] ---
    SHOPPING CENTER
[04:02] ---
    of merchandise,
    including sundries, were on sale.

[04:06] ---
    I see, so it was something humans used.
[04:10] ---
    This is...
[04:12] ---
    A stick with something fluffy on it.
[04:14] ---
    What is this?
[04:15] ---
    Humans used things like this?
[04:17] ---
    What is this box?
[04:19] ---
    - Could this be...
    - 9S.
[04:21] ---
    We're in the middle of a mission.
[04:22] ---
    Don't you have any interest, 2B?
[04:24] ---
    What kind of lives humans had lived...
[04:27] ---
    Oh, please hold on a second.
[04:29] ---
    I'll go. I said I'll go.
[04:33] ---
    But if you could shop with various items
    in front of you, I'm sure it would be fun.
[04:39] ---
    We have no need for that.
[04:41] ---
    That's not necessarily true.
[04:42] ---
    If we annihilate the machine lifeforms,
    we soldiers will no longer have anything to do.
[04:47] ---
    When that happens...
[04:50] ---
    I'm sure days where we
    live peacefully will arrive.
[04:55] ---
    I know.
[04:56] ---
    When we gain peace,
    let's go shopping together.
[04:59] ---
    I'll buy you T-shirts that look good on you.
[05:02] ---
    T-shirts...
[05:04] ---
    The clothing we have now is plenty.
[05:07] ---
    No, it's not about the clothing themselves,
    but how we go shopping together sounds fun.
[05:12] ---
    Emotions are prohibited.
[05:15] ---
    Hearing those words
    that are so characteristic of you satisfies me.
[05:19] ---
    Alert. Confirming multiple
    machine lifeform signals up ahead.

[05:30] ---
    MACHINE LIFEFORM’S VILLAGE
[05:43] ---
    Please wait.
[05:44] ---
    P-Please put your weapons away.
[05:47] ---
    We are not your enemies.
[05:50] ---
    We have no intentions of fighting you.
[05:52] ---
    Stop. Don't kill me.
[05:54] ---
    - Yes, yes.
    - I surrender. I surrender.

[05:57] ---
    We are not your enemies.
[06:01] ---
    Fine.
[06:04] ---
    You are Pascal?
[06:06] ---
    Oh, yes. That is correct.
[06:09] ---
    We came here because Lily
    asked us to deliver this to you.
[06:12] ---
    From Lily?
[06:14] ---
    Are you being serious?
[06:16] ---
    Yeah. Though they are machine lifeforms,
[06:19] ---
    the units in that area
    have no animosity against us.
[06:23] ---
    We’ve had interactions in the past.
[06:25] ---
    Interactions.
[06:26] ---
    They excel at work
    more detailed than what we can do.
[06:29] ---
    In exchange, we provide them
    with oil and minerals.
[06:33] ---
    I guess you'd call it a form of commerce.
[06:35] ---
    Commerce.
[06:36] ---
    Isn't that dangerous?
[06:38] ---
    At the least,
    we haven’t been harmed yet.
[06:41] ---
    What they seek is not combat...
[06:44] ---
    but peace.
[06:47] ---
    If you can't believe me,
    you can go see for yourselves.
[06:51] ---
    I'm sure they’ll greet you
    by waving white flags.
[06:55] ---
    Once again, my name is Pascal.
    I'm the leader of this village.

[07:01] ---
    A machine lifeform is...
[07:03] ---
    Thank you for the oil. You arrived
    4,782 seconds earlier than we had expected.

[07:11] ---
    I heard that you've had interactions
    with the Resistance in the past.
[07:15] ---
    Yes.
[07:16] ---
    Lily understands us in our state,
    and is very good to us.

[07:21] ---
    A machine lifeform
    can converse to this extent?
[07:24] ---
    Oh.
[07:25] ---
    My hobby is reading books, so naturally,
    my linguistic functions would improve.

[07:30] ---
    If you can speak that fluently, it must be
    quite easy to gain the Resistance's trust.
[07:36] ---
    I cannot blame you for doubting, as we
    have been fighting each other for a while now.

[07:44] ---
    However...
[07:45] ---
    Those that are here
    have fled from such warfare.

[07:50] ---
    We currently are not connected
    to the machine lifeform network.

[07:56] ---
    If you would like,
    please try to interact with the others.

[08:01] ---
    After all, the only way to understand someone
    is to get to know them.

[08:05] ---
    Isn’t that right?
[08:09] ---
    Interactions, huh?
[08:10] ---
    Is it serious? Is it saying that
    knowing what our mission is?
[08:15] ---
    The true intent of that
    machine lifeform is unknown.
[08:18] ---
    We do have the option
    of simply returning right now.
[08:22] ---
    Our mission
    is to investigate machine lifeforms.
[08:25] ---
    If they have no animosity, let's make
    good use of that as much as we can.
[08:30] ---
    Go on, take a look. Dented metal plates,
    warped coils, and worn out screws.

[08:36] ---
    I want this one.
[08:36] ---
    How long are you going to coop
    yourself up in there? Come out already.

[08:40] ---
    This place...
[08:42] ---
    Hypothesis. Countless machine lifeforms
    have gathered to create a form of community.

[08:49] ---
    This form is called a "village."
[08:52] ---
    A village of machine lifeforms...
[08:55] ---
    No precedents exist to this day...
[08:57] ---
    Oh.
[08:58] ---
    What is this. It's so cute.
[09:01] ---
    Hey!
[09:02] ---
    You guys are androids, right?
    I've never seen one before.

[09:07] ---
    Oh, um...
[09:09] ---
    Alert. Requesting immediate release
    of this unit.

[09:12] ---
    If this warning is ignored,
    attack will commence in five seconds.

[09:15] ---
    Pod. Attacks are unauthorized.
[09:19] ---
    I unauthorize as well.
[09:21] ---
    Hey, can you take those blindfolds off?
[09:24] ---
    No, we can't.
[09:26] ---
    Why? Why not?
[09:27] ---
    It's our rules.
[09:29] ---
    What are rules?
[09:30] ---
    To put it in simple words,
    it's like a promise.
[09:33] ---
    Promise.
[09:34] ---
    My big sister told me.
[09:38] ---
    You have to keep promises.
[09:41] ---
    Oh. So this is where you were.
[09:43] ---
    Oh. Big sister.
[09:45] ---
    Jeez, I was looking for you.
[09:47] ---
    I told you we were going
    into the forest together today.

[09:51] ---
    I'm sorry she troubled you.
[09:55] ---
    Now, let's go.
[09:57] ---
    Yeah.
[10:01] ---
    Thank you for talking to me.
    I'll see you again. Promise.

[10:06] ---
    Thank you? What exactly is going on?
[10:10] ---
    This is making me lose my bearings.
[10:12] ---
    Not over there.
[10:14] ---
    It’s dangerous.
[10:15] ---
    Let's play over here.
[10:19] ---
    Is there another village underground?
[10:35] ---
    This place...
[10:51] ---
    Some kind of head, perhaps?
[10:54] ---
    Why is it inside a tree?
[10:57] ---
    Report. Faint signal detected from target.
[11:00] ---
    Huh? Does that mean it's still alive?
[11:03] ---
    However, the signal differs
    from that of a machine lifeform.

[11:06] ---
    It's not a machine lifeform?
[11:08] ---
    What is it?
[11:11] ---
    I kind of want to find out.
[11:13] ---
    I'm going to check it out a bit.
[11:15] ---
    I don't know if it's
    a machine or an organic lifeform,
[11:18] ---
    but if there's a radio signal,
    that means I can peek into its information.
[11:22] ---
    Careless contact is dangerous.
[11:24] ---
    It's fine. Leave this to me.
[11:26] ---
    Investigating in times like this
    is the work for Scanner models.
[11:29] ---
    You could call it a true pleasure,
    or a hobby.
[11:33] ---
    Hacking in.
[11:51] ---
    What’s this data space?
[11:54] ---
    I've never seen anything like it before.
[12:20] ---
    Report. Access shutdown forcibly
    from the system side.

[12:24] ---
    Th-That surprised me.
[12:26] ---
    That's why I told you to not do it.
[12:29] ---
    But in return, I was able to read some data,
    though only for an instant.
[12:34] ---
    It seems like this is a weapon
    that humans created in the past.
[12:38] ---
    Humans did?
[12:39] ---
    Yes. A few thousand years ago, even.
[12:42] ---
    But what is it doing in a place like this?
[12:45] ---
    That is...
[12:46] ---
    the object of worship in this village.
[12:48] ---
    Pascal.
[12:50] ---
    Object of worship?
[12:51] ---
    Yes.
[12:52] ---
    I have stopped fighting
[12:55] ---
    because I met the one you see here.
[12:58] ---
    It was...
[13:00] ---
    back when I was still on the battlefield.
[13:07] ---
    I had been blasted away,
[13:09] ---
    and found my way to this location.
[13:12] ---
    Peaceful and quiet.
[13:15] ---
    The air was different here from elsewhere.
[13:21] ---
    ...ive... Li... e...
[13:24] ---
    Live!
[13:52] ---
    Even after that, I kept fighting.
[13:56] ---
    In fierce combat, one ally falls,
[14:00] ---
    then another ally, and another.
[14:04] ---
    A scene familiar to me,
    being repeated for thousands of years.

[14:11] ---
    But at that moment,
[14:13] ---
    I felt "my own death"
    for the first time in battle,

[14:18] ---
    and felt immense fear.
[14:25] ---
    Even after losing so many allies,
[14:28] ---
    I did not understand
    that was a sad thing.

[14:32] ---
    I was simply inorganic, apathetic...
[14:36] ---
    And such a self...
[14:38] ---
    was more terrifying than anything else.
[14:41] ---
    That is why I...
[14:46] ---
    That has to simply be a bug or an error.
[14:50] ---
    You're right. I surely have gone insane.
[14:56] ---
    My other allies kept fighting,
[14:58] ---
    and before I knew it, I was all alone.
[15:03] ---
    However, I now have this village.
[15:07] ---
    After leaving the battlefield,
[15:09] ---
    I created this village together with others
    who stopped fighting in a similar manner.

[15:14] ---
    My daily job now
    is to take care of the children.

[15:18] ---
    Oh. Uncle Pascal.
[15:20] ---
    Hurray. Play with us.
[15:22] ---
    Read us books again.
[15:24] ---
    Yes, of course.
[15:26] ---
    When I'm done guiding the guests,
    let's play together.

[15:30] ---
    Hurray.
[15:32] ---
    I found this. Found this.
[15:35] ---
    This is something called a "music box."
[15:38] ---
    Music box?
[15:40] ---
    When you wind up the spring like this...
[15:45] ---
    Whoa.
[15:46] ---
    What is this? Amazing. Beautiful.
[15:49] ---
    Let's have everyone listen to this.
[15:51] ---
    Oh. Give back. Give back.
[16:23] ---
    We have been severed
    from the machine lifeform network.

[16:31] ---
    However...
[16:33] ---
    We have gained much in return.
[16:52] ---
    This is strange.
[16:54] ---
    Machine lifeforms are weapons
    created for combat.
[16:58] ---
    They were created to kill us.
[17:01] ---
    Many allies died?
    The same can be said for us as well.
[17:06] ---
    The androids that they killed count
    in the thousands, even tens of thousands.
[17:11] ---
    And yet, they alone
    say they stopped fighting.
[17:16] ---
    That's too selfish.
[17:20] ---
    It's just too selfish.
[17:23] ---
    And so many units like that
    are gathered here.
[17:27] ---
    They finally separated themselves
    from the network and became free.
[17:31] ---
    They're contradicting themselves.
[17:32] ---
    Survival rate decreases for individual units.
[17:35] ---
    Power is required from other units
    for long-term stable activities.

[17:41] ---
    You can't live alone.
    Not even machine lifeforms.
[17:46] ---
    You can't live alone.
[17:53] ---
    What was that just now?
[17:54] ---
    9S?
[17:56] ---
    Oh no, it's nothing.
[17:58] ---
    Um, so if I summarize...
[18:01] ---
    That means 2B,
    you have a need for me as...
[18:05] ---
    Wait, I lied! Just kidding!
    I didn't say anything.
[18:08] ---
    But I do wish it was that way.
[18:14] ---
    Shall we head back soon, 2B?
[18:17] ---
    Pod. Mark current location
    on the map, and archive it.
[18:21] ---
    Affirmative.
[18:22] ---
    Huh? Our job is done here.
    Why would you do that now?
[18:28] ---
    Because once we have peace...
[18:30] ---
    we'll be back here together
    to buy T-shirts.
[18:36] ---
    Okay!
[18:37] ---
    Once we have peace.
[18:39] ---
    I'm sure it'll be soon.
[18:46] ---
    Oh, you shouldn't.
[18:48] ---
    Oh, everyone,
    please be friendly to each other.

[18:51] ---
    What's going on with you?
[18:53] ---
    Give me a break.
[18:54] ---
    Mine. Mine.
[18:56] ---
    - Shut up.
    - Let go of it.

[18:58] ---
    It's not good to keep things to yourself.
    Let's all listen to it together, okay?

[19:02] ---
    No. Want. Want.
[19:06] ---
    Everyone, own item, own. Me, nothing.
    Nothing. Talk, weird. Weird. Outcast.

[19:15] ---
    Outcast? That's not true.
[19:19] ---
    Lies.
[19:20] ---
    - Just give it back, moron.
    - You're being mean.

[19:23] ---
    - Come on.
    - Let go.

[19:25] ---
    Oh no, violence is bad. Everyone should be
    friendly to each other.

[19:30] ---
    No.
[19:33] ---
    Now you’ve done it.
[19:42] ---
    Hate. Hate everyone.
[19:45] ---
    They stopped fighting,
    but they still have disputes.
[19:49] ---
    These kinds of troubles have a high chance
    of occurrence in a community.

[19:53] ---
    Each unit's objectives or gains clash,
    creating a dispute.

[19:58] ---
    Back when they were weapons,
    their only objective was to fight.
[20:01] ---
    - Now you did it. Damn it.
    - Stop it.

[20:04] ---
    They're radicalizing more and more.
[20:06] ---
    If they keep going...
[20:08] ---
    Nine...
[20:09] ---
    Operator 21O to 9S.
    This is your regularly scheduled contact.

[20:15] ---
    9S, come in.
[20:19] ---
    This is 9S.
[20:21] ---
    Nothing to report.
[20:27] ---
    Hey, Big Brother?
    Why do we have to read books?
[20:32] ---
    Knowledge enriches existence.
[20:35] ---
    Why can't we just
    transfer all this data over instantly?
[20:38] ---
    It doesn't enter your heart
    unless you read it yourself.
[20:44] ---
    All right.
[20:45] ---
    You should read more books.
[20:48] ---
    I'm fine.
    Because I have you, Big Brother.
[20:52] ---
    Eve.
[20:53] ---
    You should start calling me
    "elder brother."
[20:55] ---
    Huh? Why are you saying that
    so suddenly, Big Bro...
[21:00] ---
    Yes, Elder Brother.
[21:04] ---
    Good boy.
[22:41] ---
    POD 042 REPORTING TO ALL OF MANKIND.
[22:41] ---
    WE WILL NOW EXECUTE THE TASK
    OF INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS
    FOR THE VIDEO GAME "NIER:AUTOMATA." OVER.
[22:44] ---
    PUPPET PLAY
    NIER:AUTOMATA
    “L3+R3”
[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] ---
    Actually, we YoRHa Soldiers
    have an unbelievable secret function.
[23:02] ---
    I'm going to "secretly"
    tell you viewers what it is.
[23:05] ---
    I'm sure you know what it is, right 2B?
[23:08] ---
    Hint. If we execute it, something big
    will happen. The you-know-what.
[23:14] ---
    You can't mean...
[23:16] ---
    When I use this function,
    I end up feeling a bit refreshed.
[23:17] ---
    PHEW
[23:22] ---
    I lost my skirt that has a radiator function.
[23:26] ---
    Let me join you guys!
[23:28] ---
    All right! Here goes, in all seriousness!
[23:32] ---
    Hold on, w—
[23:34] ---
    Emil caused his fusion reactor to go out of control,
    turning the planet into a dead chunk of rock,
    tumbling through the vast vacuum of an uncaring universe.
[23:38] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
