[00:14] ---
    Go back... To a world where Mayuri lives...
[00:28] ---
    It can't be...
[00:33] ---
    Mayuri!
[00:36] ---
    Mayuri?!
[00:38] ---
    Okarin?
[00:39] ---
    Huh?
[00:40] ---
    Looks like you're finally up.
[00:42] ---
    Hot damn!
[00:44] ---
    You had us all worried
    when you collapsed like that!
[00:47] ---
    Collapsed?
[00:49] ---
    I did?
[01:07] ---
    This world is not even real at all
[01:13] ---
    It's just a vision pulled over our eyes
[01:20] ---
    At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos
    is overwriting all the values I know
[01:31] ---
    If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control
    and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light
[01:40] ---
    Then I, just I alone
[01:46] ---
    I'm fine being that miracle,
    that lethal minority
[01:52] ---
    I can fly high
[01:53] ---
    If that moment, if that place was
    something you thought was special to you
[01:59] ---
    The past doesn't have to be
    memories that simply drift away
[02:04] ---
    Instead of the pain of being hurt,
    everything about that precious scene will
[02:10] ---
    Become a light and give birth to zero
[02:15] ---
    There is no god. Wonderful new world.
[02:23] ---
    Nakase-san and I did, in the lab?
[02:25] ---
    Yeah...
[02:26] ---
    The hospital stays closed for the
    New Year, so we were freaking out.
[02:31] ---
    Is that right?
[02:33] ---
    Did I go back to the original world line?
[02:36] ---
    Here.
[02:39] ---
    Hmm?
[02:41] ---
    --Makise Kurisu...
    --Eh?
[02:44] ---
    Eh?
[02:46] ---
    Do you know Makise Kurisu?
[02:48] ---
    Yup, I know her.
[02:52] ---
    That's the person you have
    inside of your phone, right?
[02:56] ---
    Amadeus, or something...
[02:59] ---
    Don't scare me like that...
[03:02] ---
    Speaking of which, how's Amadeus?
[03:04] ---
    We avoided the takeover,
    but it's being restored.
[03:07] ---
    The thing is...
[03:08] ---
    What happened?
[03:09] ---
    We found out a thief broke
    into Maho-san's room.
[03:13] ---
    And that's not all...
[03:15] ---
    There's talk about a gas explosion at the
    Wako office, so we're not allowed to enter.
[03:19] ---
    With timing like that, it's possible
    somebody planned it all out.
[03:25] ---
    Any idea who did it?
[03:26] ---
    No clue...
[03:28] ---
    The attackers from before, maybe?
[03:31] ---
    Oh, you're awake now!
[03:36] ---
    Has your fever come down?
[03:38] ---
    Yeah, it's fine now.
[03:40] ---
    You feeling better too, Okarin-san?
[03:42] ---
    Huh? Yeah...
[03:44] ---
    The doctors are saying it might be
    that new form of encephalitis.
[03:49] ---
    It's probably nothing to worry about.
[03:51] ---
    A new encephalitis?
[03:53] ---
    They say it's going around lately,
    giving people bad fevers and such.
[03:57] ---
    But, I wonder why you two collapsed
    at the exact same time?
[04:01] ---
    Without any external stimulus,
    the fact that it happened is hard to believe.
[04:05] ---
    I knew it! It has to be!
[04:07] ---
    You're still on that?
[04:09] ---
    What, what?
[04:10] ---
    Kaede-san seems to think Okarin-san
    is my soulmate or something.
[04:14] ---
    Huh?
[04:16] ---
    It's true, Fubuki-chan! When you came to,
    all you talked about was Okarin-san!
[04:20] ---
    I told you, that was only because of the dream!
[04:23] ---
    Dream?
[04:25] ---
    I had this very realistic dream...
[04:28] ---
    Well, but Mayushii...
[04:31] ---
    It was a dream! It was just in the dream, but...
[04:35] ---
    Mayushii was gone...
    And I was with Faris-san in her cafe.
[04:40] ---
    And then, well... Okarin-san came...
[04:44] ---
    Memories from an alpha world line...
[04:46] ---
    Could it be Reading Steiner?
[04:49] ---
    Hmm, well...
[04:51] ---
    You're not showing any more symptoms,
    but we'll schedule a follow-up.
[04:55] ---
    We'd like for you to come back next week.
[04:58] ---
    Sure...
[05:00] ---
    It's great that they let you leave, Okarin.
[05:03] ---
    Fubuki-chan has to stay a little longer, though.
[05:06] ---
    Don't worry! She's spunky, so I bet she's okay!
[05:10] ---
    --You think? Maybe you're right...
    --Okabe-san.
[05:12] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Okabe-san.
[05:14] ---
    Why did you mention Kurisu back there?
[05:16] ---
    Well, it's just...
[05:21] ---
    I had a dream...
[05:23] ---
    A dream?
[05:26] ---
    By the way, where's Hashida-san?
[05:28] ---
    Oh, Daru-kun said he had to leave
    to take care of something.
[05:29] ---
    "All right."
    "OK!"
[05:30] ---
    "There's something I need you to look into."
[05:32] ---
    Yeah?
[05:34] ---
    "Monday, January 3rd 2011."
    "Is Russia Testing Nukes?"
    "Growing Suspicion Puts Nations on Guard"
[05:35] ---
    Anything else?
[05:36] ---
    Yeah... Okarin wasn't showing
    any problems, so he got discharged.
[05:41] ---
    Uncle Okarin and the others were attacked,
    and later those two collapsed...
[05:46] ---
    How was he when he came to?
[05:48] ---
    Not really any different than usual.
[05:51] ---
    But he did say a name... Miss Makise's.
[05:54] ---
    Makise?
[05:58] ---
    See you!
[05:59] ---
    Okay! I'll message you later!
[06:03] ---
    "Television CRT Workshop"
[06:04] ---
    Here, coffee.
[06:06] ---
    Thanks.
[06:07] ---
    Now that I think about it, with the thief
    breaking into my hotel and the fire fiasco,
[06:12] ---
    I haven't had anything since last night.
[06:15] ---
    All we have here is fried chicken and bananas...
[06:18] ---
    Oh, should I go buy you a bento?
[06:20] ---
    I'm fine. I'll eat after
    I get back to the hotel.
[06:25] ---
    You're going back?
[06:27] ---
    The professor asked the same thing.
    He said I might want to change my hotel.
[06:32] ---
    I'm sure it's safer that way.
[06:35] ---
    Though, I don't know where to go.
[06:37] ---
    What about here?
[06:39] ---
    I can't intrude like that.
[06:42] ---
    Considering the attack just went
    down here, it's not exactly safe...
[06:49] ---
    "I checked out the Wako City office~"
[06:52] ---
    "Nothing to report"
[06:53] ---
    "So sorry"
[06:55] ---
    Nothing to go on...
[06:57] ---
    Right.
[06:57] ---
    Eh?
[07:00] ---
    Whoa! Wh-Where did you come from?!
[07:03] ---
    Hmm?
[07:04] ---
    A guest of yours?
[07:06] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[07:08] ---
    When did you?
[07:10] ---
    "I've been here for a while!"
[07:12] ---
    "I know I don't stand out much, but you're
    making me feel invisible! You hurt my feelings~"
[07:15] ---
    "Hmph! Pout!"
[07:17] ---
    You were there all along?
[07:19] ---
    I was.
[07:23] ---
    "Hmph! Pout!"
    "Know who the attackers were?"
[07:24] ---
    "Know who the attackers were?"
    "Nope~"
[07:26] ---
    "Or what they're after?"
[07:28] ---
    "Or what they're after?"
[07:28] ---
    "Or what they're after?"
    "No clue~"
[07:32] ---
    What's up? Why aren't you talking?
[07:36] ---
    Uh, well...
[07:37] ---
    Hmm?
[07:38] ---
    "Aww, shucks!"
    "Can you keep on investigating for me?"
    "OK!"
[07:44] ---
    I made coffee... Huh?
[07:47] ---
    Did your guest leave already?
[07:49] ---
    And I even made coffee for them...
[07:53] ---
    I'm back...
[07:56] ---
    I will... save this world line.
[08:00] ---
    I'll protect this world where Mayuri lives...
[08:03] ---
    And without using the time machine!
[08:06] ---
    I'm sure that's what she wanted too.
[08:10] ---
    It's all I can do...
[08:14] ---
    Hiyajo-san.
[08:15] ---
    Eh?
[08:16] ---
    Do you think you could hold off finding a hotel?
[08:20] ---
    I've got an idea.
[08:22] ---
    So that's why you came, meow?
[08:25] ---
    Yeah... We think having her
    stay here is our best option for now.
[08:30] ---
    But it's so sudden...
[08:32] ---
    It's not fair to ask you.
[08:34] ---
    Faris doesn't care at all, meow.
[08:37] ---
    I knew it.
[08:38] ---
    See what I mean? I told you Faris-chan
    wouldn't have a problem with it.
[08:43] ---
    You can use the guest room, meow.
[08:45] ---
    Stay forever! Maho-meow should
    sleep over for as long as you're in Japan!
[08:49] ---
    Maho-meow?
[08:51] ---
    We've got Kuroki here, so it's super safe, meow!
[08:53] ---
    --Kuroki? Hold on, wait!
    --Come on, this way! Let's take a bath together!
[08:58] ---
    Now we can all rest assured.
[08:59] ---
    So... Kagari is with Rukako, right?
[09:03] ---
    Yup! I just heard from him a bit ago!
[09:06] ---
    He'll make sure she doesn't go outside,
    so he said not to worry.
[09:12] ---
    For the time being, I've done everything I can.
[09:15] ---
    Now just to figure out who raided
    the lab, and what they're after...
[09:21] ---
    Suzuha?
[09:22] ---
    "I need to talk to you alone”
    “Waiting to hear back"
[09:39] ---
    Suzuha?
[09:41] ---
    I'm right here.
[09:44] ---
    Sorry for calling you out here like this.
[09:47] ---
    What's this about?
[09:49] ---
    The thing is, I'm terrible
    at steering conversations.
[09:54] ---
    So forgive me,
    but I'll get straight to the point.
[09:57] ---
    What?
[09:58] ---
    Did the world line change?
[10:01] ---
    Wha--?
[10:06] ---
    What makes you say that?
[10:08] ---
    Given the situation, plus what you've
    told me about Reading Steiner and whatnot.
[10:14] ---
    And if I tell you?
[10:19] ---
    You may not think it,
    but it matters a lot to me.
[10:23] ---
    Suzuha...
[10:26] ---
    Answer me. That's an order, Okabe Rintaro!
[10:31] ---
    "Pandora of Eternal Return -Pandora's Box-"
[10:37] ---
    I'll ask you once more.
[10:39] ---
    Has the world line changed?
[10:41] ---
    Is this a different world line than before?
[10:45] ---
    Don't worry.
[10:46] ---
    This world line is the same one we were in.
[10:49] ---
    For real?
[10:50] ---
    Yeah... We did move to another world line
    temporarily, but I think we're back again.
[10:56] ---
    So it did change after all...
[10:58] ---
    But right now, I don't know the reason why.
[11:02] ---
    Earthquakes... in Russia.
[11:04] ---
    Eh?
[11:05] ---
    They're not because of nuclear testing.
[11:07] ---
    It's from Russia and
    America's race for a time machine.
[11:11] ---
    Sooner or later, that competition
    will spark the beginning of World War III.
[11:17] ---
    Russia... and America?
[11:19] ---
    The way they said it, it has to be...
    That's phonetic code.
[11:23] ---
    Phonetic code?
[11:25] ---
    For military use.
[11:27] ---
    More specifically, by the Western world.
[11:30] ---
    Is that how it is?!
[11:31] ---
    "Another Earthquake in Russia"
[11:31] ---
    Which means back then...
[11:37] ---
    I'm such an idiot...
[11:39] ---
    I kept worrying about what to do,
    but I never had time for that!
[11:43] ---
    What will you do then?
[11:44] ---
    You're coming with me, back to July 28th.
[11:48] ---
    And if I refuse?
[11:49] ---
    I won't allow you to.
[11:52] ---
    They're experimenting
    with time machines as we speak.
[11:55] ---
    What if the world line changes as a result,
    and the path to Steins Gate is closed off forever?
[12:00] ---
    What if... it's already too late?
[12:03] ---
    Could you choose?
[12:05] ---
    Could you make the decision
    between two world lines?
[12:09] ---
    You're willing to let this world line
    go completely to waste?!
[12:12] ---
    Shut up!
[12:28] ---
    Suzuha...
[12:30] ---
    The next one will hit.
[12:38] ---
    Please...
[12:45] ---
    July, 2010...
[12:47] ---
    Using the Phone Microwave (Temporary),
    I realized I could send mail to the past...
[12:53] ---
    But in the end, all that did
    was change the world line.
[12:57] ---
    To get back to the original,
    I trampled over countless memories.
[13:03] ---
    I took things that happened and undid them all.
[13:06] ---
    I sacrificed more than you can ever imagine,
    just to finally get back to this world line!
[13:13] ---
    And now, if I go back to that summer...
[13:16] ---
    The nightmare will repeat all over!
[13:18] ---
    And you're fine with this world line as it is?!
[13:21] ---
    World War III will start,
    and billions of people will die!
[13:25] ---
    You can't escape it!
    That's what this world line is!
[13:28] ---
    And what if we only make the situation worse?
[13:31] ---
    That's...
[13:33] ---
    What if we do manage to change world lines,
[13:35] ---
    but all that's waiting for us is a hopeless
    future worse than the one you know?!
[13:41] ---
    Even if we can change world lines,
    we can't manipulate the future.
[13:48] ---
    Suzuha.
[13:51] ---
    Dad...
[13:53] ---
    I kinda figured this would happen...
[13:56] ---
    What's with the gun?
[13:58] ---
    You should know, Dad!
    We don't have time for this!
[14:02] ---
    At this rate, World War III will...
[14:05] ---
    Even if you force Okarin to come along,
    do you think that'll solve anything?
[14:10] ---
    That's...
[14:12] ---
    From the moment I started researching time
    machines and world lines, I realized something.
[14:17] ---
    Trying to control world lines and
    the laws of causality is no simple feat.
[14:22] ---
    Then... What can we do?
[14:24] ---
    That's the whole reason
    we're researching, right?
[14:28] ---
    Dad...
[14:29] ---
    One of these times, I wish you
    would listen and do as your father says.
[14:35] ---
    Just leave it all to me.
    I'll figure something out.
[14:39] ---
    I'm a super hacker, and don't you forget it.
[14:49] ---
    I... don't know what to do anymore...
[14:52] ---
    I don't know what's right...
[14:55] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[14:56] ---
    Help me, Dad...
[14:59] ---
    Help me...
[15:02] ---
    Please... Dad... Help me...
[15:07] ---
    Dad...
[15:16] ---
    World War III...
[15:21] ---
    Using the information we've got,
[15:23] ---
    can we somehow change the future
    without using the time machine?
[15:28] ---
    It's a tough one...
[15:35] ---
    But thinking something impossible without
    due consideration is the downfall of a scientist.
[15:42] ---
    That's what you'd say... If it were you...
[15:50] ---
    Hmm?
[15:53] ---
    Oh? What's this?
[15:55] ---
    If you came to beg for more time to pay--
[15:56] ---
    I want to continue our conversation.
[16:04] ---
    You...
[16:07] ---
    Seriously?
[16:08] ---
    Yes.
[16:13] ---
    Who knows? It's not enough info to go on.
[16:17] ---
    If you can tell me which organizations
    use phonetic codes, that might help.
[16:21] ---
    Well, there's probably thousands
    in the west alone. However...
[16:26] ---
    However?
[16:27] ---
    If some group was responsible for that attack,
    I can't imagine their name being public.
[16:33] ---
    Either they're a group whose
    name is kept under wraps,
[16:36] ---
    or a group that seems innocent enough
    on the surface to not suspect of foul play.
[16:41] ---
    For example?
[16:42] ---
    You really gonna make me answer that?
[16:47] ---
    Whatever... You knowing
    makes no difference to me.
[16:51] ---
    To be honest...
[16:52] ---
    If I had to take a guess, assuming
    that whole story you told me was true...
[16:57] ---
    "Show only Japanese results" "Use search options"
[16:59] ---
    DURPA... Defense Ultimate
    Research Projects Agency.
[17:04] ---
    Created by the Department of Defense
    as an organization for military research...
[17:09] ---
    Stratfor...
[17:11] ---
    A private American think tank... Called a shadow
    CIA that can predict large-scale terrorism.
[17:18] ---
    Russia's time machine research is based on...
[17:22] ---
    Dr. Nakabachi's paper?
[17:24] ---
    You're going to steal it, Daddy?!
[17:27] ---
    If America connected the dots...
[17:30] ---
    Their hunt for data would
    lead straight to Makise Kurisu...
[17:35] ---
    Why not raid Viktor Chondria University then?
[17:38] ---
    They could easily tap
    into the research computers.
[17:41] ---
    Why would they come all the way here?
[17:44] ---
    When they attacked the lab,
    they were after Kagari...
[17:48] ---
    Because she came from the future?
[17:51] ---
    Are they after the time machine she came in?
[17:53] ---
    Even if that's true, they won't ever find it.
[17:56] ---
    Why not?
[17:57] ---
    If their time machine research was based
    on a time machine from the future,
[18:01] ---
    it would make a huge time paradox.
[18:04] ---
    It can never happen.
[18:05] ---
    Which means...
[18:07] ---
    ...a thief broke into Maho-san's room.
[18:10] ---
    And that's not all...
[18:11] ---
    There's talk about a
    gas explosion at the Wako office...
[18:17] ---
    Is that how it is?!
[18:20] ---
    You know what?
[18:22] ---
    I believe that someday,
    Okarin will stand to take up command
[18:26] ---
    and lead everyone to where we need to go.
[18:29] ---
    What time is it?
[18:31] ---
    It'll soon be a brand-new day.
[18:35] ---
    Think he'll get in?
[18:37] ---
    Hmm?
[18:38] ---
    Uncle Okarin... in the time machine.
[18:42] ---
    When the time comes, he will.
[18:46] ---
    And then, Hououin Kyouma will be reborn.
[18:49] ---
    I rise from the ashes like a phoenix!
    He'll be delusional like the good old days...
[18:54] ---
    After all, the Future Gadget Laboratory
    only exists because of Okarin.
[18:59] ---
    Dad... Do you realize how embarrassing
    the things you're saying are?
[19:04] ---
    Oh fudge, you're right...
[19:07] ---
    I'd rather die than say that to his face...
[19:11] ---
    I think... I'll write a letter.
[19:14] ---
    I need to tell Uncle Okarin I'm sorry...
    And that I'll keep at it.
[19:20] ---
    That's a good idea...
[19:21] ---
    And while you're at it,
    write one for Daddy please!
[19:24] ---
    With some cute photos too!
[19:26] ---
    If I feel like it...
[19:28] ---
    Hey, now... What's with the dejected reply?
[19:31] ---
    I mean, we don't have
    time for stuff like that...
[19:35] ---
    Because Russia started
    time machine experiments?
[19:39] ---
    There's that too, but it's the fuel...
[19:42] ---
    I kinda used a lot of it up
    searching for Kagari-san...
[19:47] ---
    Can't we swap out the battery?
[19:50] ---
    Nope... I had Big Sis Rumi bring me
    one of those big batteries they put in trucks,
[19:55] ---
    but it died in a second.
[19:57] ---
    How much more can we jump?
[20:00] ---
    Half a year, maybe once or twice...
[20:03] ---
    And that's it.
[20:05] ---
    What if the battery dies while traveling?
[20:08] ---
    Who knows?
[20:09] ---
    Lose control and get stuck beyond
    the event horizon for all of eternity?
[20:15] ---
    Don't say stuff that might jinx it!
[20:20] ---
    Sorry.
[20:23] ---
    Mmm...
[20:34] ---
    Though, I wonder what that would be like?
[20:40] ---
    Would it be peaceful like
    it is right now, for all eternity?
[20:45] ---
    If it were, that's not so bad...
[20:54] ---
    Hiyajo-san--
[20:58] ---
    What's the matter?
[21:01] ---
    What happened here? It's a disaster...
[21:04] ---
    Disaster?
[21:06] ---
    If you ask me, it's quite pleasant in here.
[21:09] ---
    Hasn't it only been one day?
[21:12] ---
    It's too dangerous to go outside,
    so I've gotta do my research here.
[21:16] ---
    What's up?
[21:17] ---
    Uh, well...
[21:21] ---
    Kurisu was researching a time machine theory?
[21:24] ---
    Yeah... And they're most likely
    after any trace of her research.
[21:28] ---
    Possibly, that theory of hers is inside Amadeus.
[21:33] ---
    Do you know if she had anything?
[21:35] ---
    For example, notes of her research,
    or stand-alone data?
[21:39] ---
    If there's something like that,
    it could explain the attack.
[21:44] ---
    There's...
[21:47] ---
    ...nothing.
[21:49] ---
    I see...
[22:05] ---
    Amadeus...
[22:10] ---
    Come to me
[22:13] ---
    Embrace my tears
[22:16] ---
    Let me guide you down into my soul
[22:22] ---
    And let us pray for the world to realize
[22:29] ---
    There is peace, the truth within us
[22:35] ---
    Emptiness erodes your heart
[22:42] ---
    Coz you're free from pain and sorrow
[22:48] ---
    Future is just too bright to show you ways
[22:54] ---
    Wake up now...it's time to lead new souls
[23:01] ---
    Orbit of photon and universe
[23:08] ---
    I am just the part of its plan
[23:14] ---
    The eye cannot see the warped sky
[23:20] ---
    Where do the people think they are walking
[23:29] ---
    The last game
