[00:05] ---
    This one, too.
[00:15] ---
    Is there even an exit to begin with?
[00:21] ---
    I leaked some fabricated data
    in the Underwater City.
[00:24] ---
    And in pursuit of a shadow that looked like A2,
    I found a strange room adorned with art.
[00:30] ---
    Even with the radio jamming, at what point
    in time did I wander into cyberspace?
[00:37] ---
    That, or...
[00:39] ---
    I was forced to wander in here.
[00:42] ---
    Y-Y-You...
[00:45] ---
    You guys...
[00:46] ---
    Who's there?
[00:48] ---
    I announce to all androids.
[00:51] ---
    We machine lifeforms...
[00:55] ---
    We made war. Learned. Grew.
[01:01] ---
    And thus we gained
    a new consciousness.
[01:06] ---
    What is it saying?
[01:07] ---
    Indeed. It is as if
    a new form of existence has been born.
[01:15] ---
    Existence?
[01:17] ---
    Correct. And my name is...
[01:23] ---
    Adam.
[02:55] ---
    Adam, you say?
[02:57] ---
    A mere machine...
[02:59] ---
    A mere machine cannot speak
    of existence, you say?
[03:02] ---
    Then what about you androids?
[03:06] ---
    Aren't you mere puppets
    who can only act according to orders?
[03:10] ---
    Shut up!
[03:11] ---
    By the way, how is that android named 2B doing?
    The one who's always at your side?
[03:16] ---
    How do you know 2B's name?
[03:19] ---
    I would never forget about you two,
    who watched my birth, then tried to kill me.
[03:25] ---
    So you're that special unit!
[03:28] ---
    That's right, boy.
[03:30] ---
    Perhaps you have a will.
    Perhaps you have desires?
[03:35] ---
    A vile desire
    that you have never shown anyone...
[03:39] ---
    slumbers in the depths of your heart.
[03:45] ---
    The more you try to hide it, the more
    that distorted darkness grows.
[03:50] ---
    Shut up!
[03:51] ---
    I don't have such a...
[03:52] ---
    No need to deny it.
[03:54] ---
    - Shut up! Shut up!
    - All who live are slaves to desire.
[03:57] ---
    I can't shut out this voice.
[03:59] ---
    Some seek love,
    some seek families, and I...
[04:06] ---
    I'm not like you guys!
[04:08] ---
    You are no different.
    You do not trust anything.
[04:14] ---
    You want to destroy everything.
[04:17] ---
    - You have lost hope in everything.
    - I don't! I don't!
[04:21] ---
    - You want to obtain everything.
    - I don't... I don't...
[04:24] ---
    You want to be loved by all.
[04:28] ---
    I don't... I don't...
[04:41] ---
    You think about 2B,
    and how much you want to...
[04:45] ---
    Stop!
[04:53] ---
    Are you going to go look for him?
[04:56] ---
    That might be exactly what
    the enemy wants. Do you need help?
[05:00] ---
    Leave the search for 9S to me.
[05:03] ---
    I'd like you to tell Lily to be alert
    of what's going on around camp.
[05:07] ---
    All right. Be careful, 2B.
[05:17] ---
    Report. Communication has been restored.
[05:20] ---
    Then hurry and reach 9S.
[05:22] ---
    Report.
[05:23] ---
    Pod 153!
[05:25] ---
    Accompany unit 9S is in a state
    of inability to supplement.
[05:29] ---
    Records immediately before loss
    detects a faint machine lifeform signal.
[05:34] ---
    Requesting search-and-rescue.
[05:43] ---
    This is us from earlier.
    Who would do this?
[05:48] ---
    Report. 9S was lost in this area.
[05:56] ---
    Confirmed. Numerical data predicted to be
    a value that indicates a specific location.
[06:01] ---
    Value corresponds to underground sector
    of the ruined city area.
[06:06] ---
    Pod, connect me to the Bunker.
[06:08] ---
    Affirmative.
[06:10] ---
    Commander.
[06:12] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:13] ---
    I have an emergency request from 2B.
[06:15] ---
    There is a high possibility that 9S
    was abducted during his mission,
[06:19] ---
    and with the enemy forces yet unknown,
[06:22] ---
    she requests immediate authorization
    of a search squad.
[06:26] ---
    Commander, please authorize it.
[06:30] ---
    A dispatch...
[06:32] ---
    I cannot authorize one.
[06:35] ---
    However, if we don't hurry...
[06:37] ---
    Currently all search squads
    in the Bunker are on duty.
[06:40] ---
    And in our current condition, it's difficult
    to summon them from other warzones.
[06:44] ---
    Tell her as such.
[06:46] ---
    That cannot be! That means—
[06:48] ---
    6O.
[06:50] ---
    I understand.
[06:55] ---
    I'm sorry, 2B.
[06:57] ---
    Roger that. Don't worry about it, 6O.
[07:01] ---
    Pod, how far are we
    from the target location?
[07:03] ---
    We will arrive
    at the target location shortly.
[07:11] ---
    Report. Arrived at target location.
[07:16] ---
    Why in such a location...
[07:21] ---
    What? A camouflage hologram.
[07:25] ---
    Alert. A possible trap.
SIGN    COPIED CITY
[07:49] ---
    Who would build this?
[07:51] ---
    Unknown. Information about current location
    cannot be confirmed from past records.
[07:57] ---
    Request. Authorization for 9S
    search activities by this unit.
[08:02] ---
    Pod 153, stand by on the surface.
[08:05] ---
    Make a second request
    for a backup unit to the Bunker.
[08:12] ---
    Analysis. This area is composed
    of crystallized silicon and carbon.
[08:17] ---
    Further details unknown
    due to lack of data.
[08:22] ---
    Faint black box signal detected up ahead.
[08:26] ---
    Confirmed signal pattern.
    Coincides with identification code for 9S.
[08:48] ---
    Pod, set sensitivity of each sensor
    to maximum level.
[08:52] ---
    Affirmative.
[08:53] ---
    No machine lifeform signals
    detected nearby.
[08:57] ---
    Stones in surrounding area are crystallized structures
    of calcium sulfide, sodium chloride,
[09:03] ---
    and material that cannot be analyzed.
[09:06] ---
    No enemy signals detected.
[09:08] ---
    Why would such things...
[09:11] ---
    Unknown.
[09:28] ---
    Report. Confirmed missing
    YoRHa squad members.
[10:01] ---
    Welcome to my beloved city.
[10:08] ---
    Where is 9S?
[10:11] ---
    Don't be so rash, 2B.
[10:16] ---
    I most certainly wanted to speak with you.
    That's why I had you come here.
[10:21] ---
    My name is Adam.
[10:24] ---
    When we first met in the desert underground,
    neither of us had the time to chat.
[10:30] ---
    Desert Underground?
[10:36] ---
    The special unit!
[10:38] ---
    It looks like you remembered.
    That makes me happy.
[10:41] ---
    Where is 9S?
[10:43] ---
    If you slay me, you won't be able
    to know his whereabouts.
[10:47] ---
    This is our playground.
    We mimicked humanity in creation.
[10:53] ---
    I, or we machine lifeforms, I suppose,
    have a keen interest in humanity.
[11:01] ---
    Humans are enigmatic.
    Impossible to understand.
[11:05] ---
    Love. Family. War. Religion.
[11:09] ---
    The complexity of humanity
    keeps fascinating me.
[11:13] ---
    We want to unravel this riddle of humanity.
[11:17] ---
    You wouldn't understand this feeling,
    would you?
[11:21] ---
    You're just like them.
[11:24] ---
    What are you even talking about...
[11:32] ---
    This is what you androids have been seeking
    for all these years.
[11:38] ---
    Let me introduce you...
[11:40] ---
    to our...
[11:42] ---
    creators.
[11:51] ---
    The aliens who created us
    machine lifeforms.
[11:55] ---
    In other words,
    these are your archnemeses.
[11:59] ---
    You've been looking for them
    this whole time, yes?
[12:01] ---
    They were in a place like this.
[12:04] ---
    A touching rendezvous,
    however they are already
[12:07] ---
    dead.
[12:08] ---
    They were wiped out by us centuries ago.
[12:12] ---
    Wiped out?
[12:15] ---
    Yes. Machine lifeforms are weapons capable
    of evolution in order to fortify themselves.
[12:21] ---
    Intelligence budding within our network didn't
    take much time to surpass that of our creators.
[12:29] ---
    Your own creators? You...
[12:32] ---
    Oh, there's no need to fret about them.
[12:35] ---
    They were simple. Infantile.
    Almost like plants, I guess you'd say.
[12:39] ---
    They held no value to us.
[12:41] ---
    Humanity is far more alluring than them,
[12:45] ---
    as well as you androids.
[12:50] ---
    I've been watching all of you
    this entire time.
[12:53] ---
    You, made in the image of humans,
    definitely have emotions.
[12:57] ---
    Joy, sorrow, fear...
[13:01] ---
    and hatred.
[13:05] ---
    I heard YoRHa is prohibited
    from harboring emotions?
[13:09] ---
    Don't you think those words in themselves
    create an unfair suggestion?
[13:14] ---
    Won't you come with me, 2B?
[13:17] ---
    I have high hopes for you.
[13:19] ---
    We shall discover together the enigma
    of the "heart" that humans hold.
[13:24] ---
    Where is 9S?
[13:27] ---
    I see.
[13:29] ---
    Then, I shall have "him"
    continue to assist me.
[13:34] ---
    9S!
[13:37] ---
    I performed various experiments
    using your beloved 9S.
[13:43] ---
    He was filled with complexity on the inside.
    It was truly fascinating.
[13:49] ---
    Next, I will rip his body apart, dismantle it,
    and take a direct look at what lies inside.
[13:54] ---
    That agony should draw out
    even more emotions from him.
[13:58] ---
    You son of a...
[14:00] ---
    I'll kill you!
[14:02] ---
    Yes! That's it!
    That's the feeling! Pure hate!
[14:06] ---
    That is exactly what I have been seeking!
[14:11] ---
    Come, 2B!
[14:26] ---
    I do enjoy this, 2B!
[14:42] ---
    That's right.
[14:43] ---
    The core of humanity is conflict.
[14:46] ---
    They fight. Steal. Kill.
[14:49] ---
    This is humanity in its purest form!
[14:51] ---
    You know nothing about humanity.
[14:56] ---
    9S...
[14:58] ---
    I went ahead and created a replica
    of his cybernetic body.
[15:01] ---
    Doesn't it look good?
[15:03] ---
    Why you...
[15:11] ---
    You know it to be a fake,
    yet you hesitate to attack.
[15:15] ---
    That is, in fact,
    emotions that humans harbor.
[15:19] ---
    Good for you. That's proof
    that you are close to humans.
[15:23] ---
    Both of us are beings
    that yearn for humans.
[15:27] ---
    You can say that machine lifeforms
    and androids are in the same category.
[15:44] ---
    Proposal. Identify the situation
    and execute return fire as planned.
[15:48] ---
    I kno—
[15:50] ---
    Pod!
[15:52] ---
    Don't be a wet blanket!
[15:57] ---
    The infinite slaughter
    on both sides all mean nothing.
[16:01] ---
    You've already realized that, haven't you?
[16:03] ---
    That humanity...
[16:05] ---
    has already gone extinct?
[16:08] ---
    Shut up!
[16:10] ---
    But that is the truth.
[16:13] ---
    I want to reach the abyss of humanity
    that no longer exists.
[16:19] ---
    However, we machine lifeforms
    are in a connected network.
[16:24] ---
    We are invincible.
[16:25] ---
    Within all those infinite bits of data,
    not even the merest flicker of life exists.
[16:29] ---
    The concept of death has no meaning to us.
[16:34] ---
    Thus, I decided to sever
    my connection to the network.
[16:41] ---
    Now, if you kill me,
    you can rescue your beloved 9S.
[16:57] ---
    2B.
[17:00] ---
    9S...
[17:06] ---
    So how is it? Can you see death, 2B?
[17:10] ---
    Report. We have arrived...
    at the designated time.
[17:16] ---
    I have...
[17:18] ---
    bought enough time.
[17:22] ---
    What?
[17:23] ---
    Someone is intervening into my system?
[17:27] ---
    Who is it?
[17:30] ---
    Make a second request
    for a backup unit to the Bunker.
[17:34] ---
    Denying request.
[17:36] ---
    This unit's control rights
    are still set to 9S.
[17:40] ---
    Also, there is no guarantee that backup
    from Command will arrive.
[17:45] ---
    Then what are you planning to do?
[17:47] ---
    This unit will hack into the main system
    while the enemy engages with 2B.
[17:52] ---
    Requesting 2B to buy time for the hacking.
[17:57] ---
    What's the chance of success?
[17:58] ---
    Chance of success: 36%.
[18:01] ---
    This unit will support Pod 153's proposal.
[18:05] ---
    Adding this unit's computation to the current situation
    will increase success rate to 45%.
[18:13] ---
    All right. Pod 153, please hack in
    while we act as decoy.
[18:18] ---
    Affirmative.
[18:20] ---
    Control percentage 92... 93...
[18:26] ---
    94... 95...
[18:30] ---
    Interesting.
    So you're going to infiltrate me!
[18:36] ---
    100%.
    S-System... controlled...
[18:48] ---
    So even I have been overtaken.
[18:54] ---
    Is it a result of severing myself
    from the network?
[19:00] ---
    Oh, right. Indeed, you were my death.
[19:17] ---
    Elder Brother.
[19:21] ---
    Eve.
[19:23] ---
    I... I'm going to protect Elder Brother.
[19:43] ---
    I need to hurry to 9S.
[19:46] ---
    Report...
[19:47] ---
    Succeeded rescue of 9S.
[19:51] ---
    Proposal. Immediate departure...
    from this area.
[19:59] ---
    9S!
[20:05] ---
    2B.
[20:08] ---
    Let's go home, 9S.
[20:10] ---
    Yeah.
[20:34] ---
    Eve.
[20:37] ---
    Hey.
[20:39] ---
    When we get back home,
    let's play again, okay?
