UN Base 02 Security Camera. YEAR 2000 ANTARCTICA
This is Dr. Katsuragi's Super Solenoid Theory?
That theory is too radical.
And it's still in the hypothetical stage.
It's a matter that cannot be settled without proof.
But nothing can explain the mobility of that titan besides the S2 theory.
Besides, it's basic theory has already been proven to be true.
It looks like it does exist in reality.
What about the Spear of Longinus?
Mr. Ikari and the others will arrive on the eleventh of this month.
Yes, after all of the data has been inspected.
Scientists, always believe too much in their own ideas.
Is it self-righteousness?
It's that they're so deeply engrossed in their own dogma.
-Last week the Spear was shipped here from the Dead Sea. -It's that they're so deeply engrossed in their own dogma.
They're unable to properly grasp reality.
We should manage it properly before we take it down to the lower level. Is it going to be okay?
And yet they're the ones who are searching for the truth. How ironic.
The main experiment is scheduled for the 13th of next month. We'll have enough time for preparation.
-They are not so noble. -The main experiment is scheduled for the 13th of next month. We'll have enough time for preparation.
-Discovery is joy. Understanding is control. -The main experiment is scheduled for the 13th of next month. We'll have enough time for preparation.
In today's experiment, we are going to test what we refer to as the field that generates its own environmental signal, right?
All they're searching for is their own happiness.
It's surpassing calculated predictions!
-Emergency... Emergency... -Turn off the surface light!
-All personnel put on your protective clothing. -As expected Adam's genes are merging!
Workers below layer two please evacuate to Central Dogma shelter area.
-AT field has spread to maximum level! -Workers below layer two please evacuate to Central Dogma shelter area.
-The Spear! The Spear! Put it back! -We can't! The magnetic field isn't holding!
It's sinking!
-We have to prevent further damage as much as possible! -It's sinking!
Break down the atomic structure, but keep it within the quark range! Hurry!
When the Door of Guf opens, begin heat dissipation!
Amazing! It's started walking!
-Surface team confirms walking! -Even if only for 0.1 second, we have to put an Anti-AT field around him! Get enough energy to generate an Anti-AT field!
-The transformation system has been set! -Countdown has started!
The S2 engine and the explosive system are being linked! We can't stop it!
The wings are spreading! It's going to surface!
Father...
15 YEARS LATER...
SHE WAS EMBRACED BY A MAN.
Right now, Ritsuko must think me a shameful woman.
Indulging your sexual desires is more human.
A little can be deceiving.
You mean to our intelligence agency?
Or Commander Ikari and Ritsuko?
Or me?
No, I mean myself...
Don't you mean other people?
You don't take an interest in people...
That way you are lonely.
Just like my father.
9 MONTHS EARLIER
HE WAS WATCHING THE STARS
At this time tomorrow we'll be in Japan.
Misato is coming to pick us up at noon.
I have to part with Kaji for now.
How boring.
When you arrive in Japan, you'll be able to have lots of new boyfriends.
I hear the Third Child is a boy.
I have no interest in stupid boys.
The only man I love is you.
7 YEARS EARLIER
SHE WAS RUNNING TO THE ROOM
Mama! Mama!
I was chosen!
The elite pilot to protect the human race!
The best in the world!
I'm not supposed to tell anybody, but I'll tell only Mama!
Lots of people are nice to me! I don't feel lonely any more!
So it's okay even without Papa!
I'm not lonely at all!
So look at me!
Mama!
Can you hear me, Asuka?
Your synchro ratio has gone down by 8%.
Remember, try not to think unnecessary thoughts.
That's what I'm doing!
Recently, Asuka's synchro ratio has been going down.
It's a problem we can't afford in these desperate times.
We'd better give priority to Rei's Unit 00.
Good morning, Director.
You brought your child along?
I thought you had a son.
This isn't Shinji.
I've taken the child of an acquaintance into my care.
She is called Rei Ayanami.
Hello Rei.
5 YEARS LATER
SHE AND HE MET AGAIN
It's no good.
I can't wait here.
It's no use. I'll go to a shelter.
I must not run away!
I mustn't run away! I mustn't run away!
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A DECISION
Thank you Shinji.
Kaworu... Why?
It is my destiny to continue living.
As a result, humanity will perish.
But I can also die.
Live or die. It makes no difference.
Death is my only way to absolute freedom.
What... Kaworu...
I have no idea what you are talking about!
Kaworu...
It is my final request...
Come, give me freedom.
If you don't, then all of you will be no more.
There can be only one that will escape Armageddon and inherit the future.

I think your things have already arrived.
Actually, I only moved to this part of the city the other day.
Come on in.
Well...
...hope I'm not intruding.
Shinji, this is your home now.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
This girl?
She is the sole survivor of that expedition team.
She hasn't spoken a word in nearly two years.
How terrible.
Well, she has seen hell.
Even though her physical wounds have healed... the psychological damage won't heal so easily.
Her name is Katsuragi...
Misato?
Yes, Misato Katsuragi. Nice to meet you!
Mother, a few days ago I met a girl named Katsuragi.
I heard she is the sole survivor of that expedition team.
She had lost her speech for quite a while. But now it seems she wants to make up for it and never stops talking.
Am I a good child?
I have to be a good child.
Papa is not here, so I must be a good child and help Mama.
But I don't want to follow Mama's example.
When Papa wasn't here, Mama cried all the time.
I mustn't cry. I mustn't act spoiled.
So, I have to be a good child.
But I hate Father.
And so I hated being a good child.
I'm tired of hating...
This 'Misato' is your old girlfriend?
I don't like that very much.
The way she lives her life seems deliberate.
Misato Katsuragi...
...she's not a bad person.
A lot of things have happened... since I came here.
Before coming here I was staying at my teacher's place.
Those days were quiet and nothing much happened.
I was just there.
But that's okay. Because I didn't have anything to do.
I don't have anything to live for.
Do you hate people?
I don't really care about that.
It's just that I hate my father.
But, piloting seems to make Shinji uneasy.
He does what he's told.
This is how he deals with life, don't you think?
Centre the target, fire.
I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away...I mustn't run away...
I mustn't run away!
Today, from the clear blue sky came the 4th Angel attack.
Unit 01 intercepted and defeated it.
Shinji, wake up.
How long are you going to skip school?
Unit 01 has been completely repaired.
As its pilot, what are you going to do?
Shinji?
It's been raining continuously for four days.
The analysis of the sample hasn't progressed due to bad weather.
Nothing special happened today.
Today, the sun finally came out.
But overall, it's still a partially cloudy day.
The same today, nothing worth mentioning.
Night time is great, the noisy cicadas aren't chirping.
When I was little, it was still pretty quiet,
...but every year their numbers increase.
The ecosystem is recovering.
Misato said that.
Hmmm? Misato, eh?
I really envy you.
You get to live with that beautiful lady and pilot the Evangelion.
Eva is on standby.
Will you pilot it?
Or won't you?
Aren't you going to scold me?
For running away?
Of course not.
You're not related to me after all.
If I say I won't pilot it, what will happen to Unit 01?
Rei will probably pilot it.
You won't pilot it?
It seems unreasonable for you to force everything on her.
It's okay, I'll do it.
But you don't want to, right?
That's obvious.
It's not something that comes naturally to me.
But Ayanami, you and Ritsuko--
Stop that!
This has nothing to do with anyone else.
If you don't want to do it, just leave!
Forget about Eva and all of us!
Go back to your old life!
With that kind of attitude, you'll cause nothing but trouble.
If you're not here, we'll have to leave the city sooner or later.
But I don't blame you. I've seen you suffer inside Eva.
If anyone thinks different, I'll beat the crap out of them!
I'm the one who deserves to get beat up!
I'm mean...
...cowardly...
...dishonest...
...and a weakling.
Shinji, you mustn't run away.
Not from your father... Especially not from yourself..
Is this okay, Shinji?
It's okay.
I prefer to be alone.
It's the same wherever I go.
Wow, the buildings are rising!
If you're not here, we'll have to leave the city sooner or later.
But I don't blame you.
I've seen you suffer inside Eva.
This is the city you protected.
There is one thing I forgot to tell you.
You did something extraordinary. It's worth praising.
You should hold your head high.
Goodnight, Shinji.
Do your best.
All of a sudden the Third Child was not feeling well.
Physical fatigue was probably the main reason.
So we requested four days leave.
Everything is back to normal now.
Problem solved.
I... I'm home.
Welcome home.
Good morning, Ikari.
Good morning.

Mama...
You're just a child yourself.
Hello, Misato.
How are you doing?
I'm alright.
You have grown taller haven't you!
Yep, and my figure has filled out, too.
Let me introduce you.
This is Unit 02's specialist pilot, the Second Child...
Asuka Langley Souryuu.
Arrogant
Egotistical
Conceited
Twisted
Self absorbed
Warped Vision
Cold Hearted
Split Personality
Bittersweet
Unsympathetic
Self-centred
Super-absurd
Disgusting...
Are you afraid of human contact?
If you don't know anybody, you won't be betrayed or hurt.
But you can't forget about loneliness.
Humans can never be rid of loneliness.
Humans are alone.
People can only go on living by forgetting.
Most humans always feel pain in their heart.
Because of this pain, they feel the hardship of living.
What do you think of Shinji Ikari?
He's a boring sod.
I can't believe he was chosen as the Third Child.
I'm disappointed.
But during live combat his synchro ratio easily exceeded 40 percent.
Synchro ratio zero.
Third Child.
I can no longer call myself the Second Child.
Come with me.
It's red. Unit 02...
I didn't know that.
Unit 00 and Unit 01 are only development models.
The fact that you synchronised without training is proof of that.
But Unit 02 is different.
It is the true combat model.
This is the world's first true Evangelion.
The production model.
What's happening?
Underwater shock waves!

Shinji...
Guten Morgen.
There you go again, that depressed face so early in the morning.
I'm saying good morning to you, put on a happy face!
Say, the other one is here, right?
Who?
Are you stupid?
The First Child, of course.
If you mean Ayanami...
Hello!
You must be Rei Ayanami, the pilot of the Prototype.
I am Asuka, Asuka Langley Souryuu.
Eva Unit 02's pilot.
Let's be friends.
Why?
It'll be more convenient, for various reasons.
If I'm ordered to, I will.
Weird girl.
How's the synchronisation training going?
Well, as you can see...
I knew it!
This won't work if I lower myself to Shinji's level.
The very idea is flawed.
Rei...
Yes.
Have a go.
There's no reason for me to live anymore.
Nobody will look at me anymore.
I am not a puppet.
Synchro graph is at -12.8.
Barely above the activation level.
It's sad isn't it.
It's lower than yesterday, isn't it.
Asuka is not feeling well today.
It's her second day.
Synchro ratio is not affected by minor physical conditions.
The problem is deep within her consciousness.
I think Asuka's pride has been wounded.
It's no wonder. She was defeated.
But, even more so, she thinks she was beaten by Shinji.
If you don't open your mind Eva won't move.
I'm closing my mind am I?
Yes.
There is a mind inside the Eva.
Inside that puppet?
You should know that.
You're giving me advice?
Yeah, and tomorrow it'll snow.
What?! Does it make you happy that I can't pilot Eva?
It doesn't matter if an Angel attacks,the invincible Shinji will take care of it anyway.
We don't have to do anything!
First Shinji, and now the mechanical puppet also feels sorry for me.
How far I've fallen.
I'm not a puppet.
Shut up! You only do what other people tell you.
If Commander Ikari said "Kill yourself" I bet you would!
Of course.
Good morning.
HIGH SCHOOL 3 AUDITORIUM, INSIDE
VIOLA THIRD STRING TUNING
STRING QUARTET PRACTICE 5 MINUTES 43 SECONDS PRIOR
Hey, Boss...
What are you looking at so intensely?
Nothing really.
Ayanami?
Could it be?
No! You're wrong.
Again?
Looks suspicious to me...
Ayanami's breasts...
Ayanami's thighs...
Ayanami's calves!
But, it's not like that!
Well then, what are you looking at?
My eyes don't miss anything.
I'm just wondering why she's always alone...
Come to think of it, she hasn't made any friends since she transferred here last year.
You're both Eva pilots right?
Shinji, you should know her better than anybody.
Yeah! That's right!
I barely speak to her.
She's a very good child.
But she's very clumsy, much like your father.
Clumsy? At what?
Living.
Excuse me...
Excuse me! It's Ikari.
Ayanami, I'm coming in.
Are these Ayanami's?
Oh no.
I didn't mean...
Please get off.
What is it?
Nothing...I was...
Sorry...
I was asked to...
What was it...the card, your card...
It's been renewed...
I'm dropping it off...
But...But I didn't mean anything else.
Say, Ayanami, aren't you afraid? To pilot Unit 00 again?
Why?
I heard you were seriously injured in the last experiment.
I was wondering if you are okay now.
You're Commander Ikari's son aren't you?
Don't you believe in your father's work?
Of course not! Not my father...
Ayanami...
At 00:00 hours you will be briefed on the schedule for Operation Yashima.
Both pilots, Ikari and Ayanami,
17:30, meet at the Cage.
18:00, Unit 01 and Unit 00 will activate.
18:05, launch.
18:30, arrival at the Futagoyama temporary base.
There we will wait for an opportunity.
Tomorrow morning the operation will begin.
Your meal.
I don't want to eat anything.
We leave in an hour.
Again?
Do I have to pilot it again?
Yes, you do.
I....
No.
I don't want to have those thoughts any more.
You should sleep then.
Sleep?
I'll pilot Unit 01.
Dr Akagi is prepared to rewrite Unit 01's personal data.
Ritsuko...
It's dangerous! Stand back!

Farewell.
Ayanami, why do you pilot Eva?
It is a bond.
Bond?
Yes. A bond.
With my father?
With everyone.
You're strong Ayanami.
For me there is nothing else on this Earth.
Farewell.
Ayanami!
Are you alright?
Ayanami!
That you're alone...
That there's nothing else for you...
Don't say those sorts of things.
When parting don't say "Farewell". It's too sad.
Why are you crying?
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to act at times like this.
I think a smile would be good.
Ayanami...
It doesn't matter. I'm going.
If I die I can be replaced.
She's going to blow herself up?!
Rei!
AT Field maximum spread.
Dream?
Yes. Don't you dream?
Everything must be settled before SEELE moves.
It is not in our best interest to lose Unit 02 at this time.
But using the Spear of Longinus without SEELE's permission will cause trouble.
Rest today.
We'll take care of everything.
Thank you...
But, I'm okay.
Really? That's good isn't it.
Rei! Fight back!
Rei Ayanami. 14 years old.
The first candidate selected in the Marduk Report.
The First Child.
Assigned to Evangelion Unit 00.
Her past is a blank.
Everything has been completely erased.
The target is invading further.
Launch. OK?
Eva Unit 02! Lift off!
Attack!
Asuka, what's wrong?
Unit 02?
It's no good. The synchro ratio is less than two.
Asuka!
It won't move.
I'll go in Unit 02.
Pain?
No. That's not it.
Loneliness?
Yes. It's loneliness.
Am I crying?
Rei!
Cancel the suspension of Unit 01, and sortie immediately.
Launch it.
Yes sir.
What happened? When it was my turn I did nothing.
Spread your AT Field. Rescue Rei. Hurry.
Right.
It smells like Ikari.
Ikari!
Is this my mind?
Does it want to become one with Ikari?
No.
The AT Field is inverted!
No. If I'm not here the AT Field will collapse.
So I cannot.
Rei, does she want to die?
12 YEARS EARLIER
Today is the same as every other day.
This country seems lonely ever since autumn disappeared.
SEELE's Dead Sea Scrolls...
If the scenario described ensues, the Third Impact will certainly occur in 10 years.
The organisation's purpose is to prevent this ultimate tragedy.
Both SEELE and Gehirn.
I approve of your intentions, but not SEELE's.
Professor Fuyutsuki.
To open the seal in this world would be catastrophic.
All the data has been handed to Ikari.
One person cannot do it alone.
And I will not do that again.
I've been sent a warning of sorts.
Those bastards wouldn't have much trouble making me disappear.
It's human survival.
It is very easy to destroy people.
That's why I say you shouldn't be the test subject.
Everything has it's place in the course of things.
It is for this reason that I am in SEELE.
For Shinji's sake.
It's been 3 years since we last stood here together.
I... ran away that time.
I never came back after that.
My mother is resting here.
I don't believe that.
I don't even remember her face.
Humans live on by forgetting the past.
But, there are also things which must not be forgotten.
Yui taught me that.
I come here to reaffirm that.
Don't you have any photographs?
None remain.
Even this grave is just a decoration.
There is no corpse.
It is as my teacher said. You threw everything away.
Everything is in my heart.
That is good enough for now.
5 YEARS EARLIER
It was the night before she died that my mother told me.
The MAGI are composed of 3 aspects of herself.
Herself as a Scientist.
Herself as a Mother.
And herself as a Woman.
These three aspects compete with each other, this is the MAGI.
She intentionally left them with human dilemmas.
That cool exterior.
You haven't changed.
You're running away from your own happiness.
The definition of happiness is not well understood.
Well, I haven't had a drink in a long time.
See you later.
What are you doing here Rei?
I'm lost.
Oh I see.
Well, do you want to come with me?
It's alright.
But you can't get back by yourself can you?
It's none of your business...
Old woman.
What?
I can get back by myself. Leave me alone, Old Woman.
You shouldn't call people, 'Old woman'.
But aren't you an old woman?
You're making me angry.
Director Ikari will have to scold you.
That's what the Director calls you.
"The old woman is stubborn."
"The old woman is useless."
"The old woman is stubborn."
"The old woman is useless."
The Director says that... about you.
You...
Eva has reactivated!
Amazing...
-That's unbelievable... -I can't believe it!
Unit 01's synchro ratio has exceeded 400%!
She is reawakening...
She's eating... the Angel?
She's taking the S2 engine into herself?
Eva Unit 01...
The bindings!
Bindings?
Yes. That isn't armour.
Using those bindings we are able to control Eva's true power.
Eva is now removing that curse with her power.
We can no longer stop Eva.
Unit 01 is awake and free.
SEELE won't keep quiet about this.
Is this part of your scenario Commander Ikari?
It has begun.
Yes. Everything begins from here.
I'm still alive.
Ayanami!
I'm glad... Glad that you're safe.
My father didn't come.
Thank you...
Thank you for saving me.
What?
Ayanami, didn't you sacrifice Unit 00 to save me?
So...I saved you.
Don't you remember?
No, I didn't know.
Maybe it is because I am the third.
Ayanami... Rei!
It can't be...
Eva's dummy plug...
Yes. Parts for the dummy system's core.
This is the production lab.
This is...
The ones in here are dummies.
They are used as parts for Rei.
Humans found God and we were glad as we held Him in our hands.
Then came divine retribution.
That was 15 years ago.
Then the God we struggled to find disappeared.
But this time we tried to recreate God ourselves.
That was Adam.
From Adam we made a human resembling God.
That is Eva.
People... Are they human?
Yes, human.
Originally a person's soul was placed inside the soulless Eva.
All of them have been salvaged.
Rei is the vessel into which a soul was placed. There is only one.
Only Rei was born with a soul.
The Room of Guf is empty.
These things that look like Rei have no soul.
They are merely vessels.
So I will destroy them.
Because they are detestable.
You! Do you know what you are doing?
Yes. I know what I'm doing.
I'm destroying the things which have human form but are not human.
You're late!
Sorry. Sorry.

This is the Angel?
Yes. This is the target.
Shinji, why won't you fight?
But...
Father there's a person piloting it!
That doesn't matter! It's an Angel! It's our enemy!
But...But I can't do it! I have to help! I can't kill people!
You will die.
That's okay! I'd rather that than killing!
Forget him!
Cut the connection between Unit 01 and the pilot.
Cut it?
Yes! Switch the circuit to the dummy plug.
But...there are still a lot of problems with the dummy system. Dr. Akagi left no instructions.
Right now it is still better than the pilot.
Do it!
What have you done Father?!
System normal.
Power increasing.
Touji's feeling pretty sorry. It seems like his little sister scolded him.
"It was that robot which rescued us all," she said.
Stop!
Father! Stop! Stop this!
Stop it!
Stop it, stop it!
Stop stop stop stop stop stop...!
No!
Perhaps this one...
Will he eat it tomorrow?

I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you...

Touji?
Shinji?
What kind of person is my father?
That's a bit sudden.
I thought you'd have asked Katsuragi about that.
Mr Kaji, you always seem to be with him.
The Vice Commander is always with him.
Do you ask many people about your father like this?
It's because he's never spent any time with me.
You know nothing about him?
But recently, I've come to understand many things about my father.
About his work...
About my Mother...
That's why...
No, that's wrong.
You only think you understand.
People cannot perfectly understand each other.
The self is an ambiguous thing.
100% understanding is impossible.
So, people endeavour to get to know themselves and others.
That's what makes life interesting.
What about Misato?
As for her, she's too remote for me to put into words.
Women exist on a shore opposite our own.
We keep to ours.
What did you go to Kyoto for?
What? That souvenir's from Matsushiro.
Still playing the fool.
If you delve too deep you'll get burned.
I'm giving you this advice as a friend.
I hear you loud and clear.
If I'm going to be burned then I'd rather it be by your flames.
Shall we go buy some fireworks then?
Welcome back.
You haven't changed have you? You're still immature.
Kaji, I've changed haven't I?
You've become beautiful.
I'm tired.
Keeping myself beautiful, continuing such a beautiful freedom.
I'm tired.
I want to be dirty. I wanted to see myself soiled.
Men and women.
Katsuragi.
It's me.
I'm guessing you'll probably be very annoyed as you listen to this.
I'm sorry. Would you tell Ritsuko I'm sorry as well.
If it's not an inconvenience I have some melons which I've been growing.
I'd be happy if you'd water them for me.
Shinji knows the place.
Katsuragi...
The truth is with you...
It's up to you to solve the riddle.
If we meet again...
I'll say the words that I wasn't able to say 8 years ago.
See you.
Idiot!
You're a real idiot!
Aren't you late?
Stop saying such irresponsible things! Shinji, you idiot!
What can I say that will make you understand?!
Kaji is not here anymore!
Lies.
Songs are wonderful.
Singing enriches the mind.
The height of culture for Lilith's Descendants.
Don't you feel that way...
Shinji Ikari?
You know my name...
There is nothing I don't know.
I think that you should be more aware of your own status.
Really?
And you are?
I'm Kaworu. Kaworu Nagisa.
Like you, I'm one of the chosen. The Fifth Child.
The Fifth Child? You are, um...?
Nagisa...
'Kaworu' is good enough, Ikari.
Me too... um...
'Shinji' is good enough.
Come, let us go. Child of Adam.
Servant of Lilith's Descendants.
Eva Unit 02 is activating!
That's crazy!
Where's Asuka?
Sick bay. Room 303.
Confirmed.
Then who the hell is it...?
It's unmanned! Unit 02 has no entry plug inserted!
No one?
It's not the Fifth boy?
An AT Field has been detected in Central Dogma.
Unit 02?
No, Pattern Blue. No doubt.
It's an Angel.
What?!
An Angel?
That boy?
The target has passed Layer 4. Still descending.
It's no good. Power can't be cut.
Target has passed Layer 5!
Quickly, close the barrier to Central Dogma.
We need to buy a little time.
Ground floor operational area, emergency shutdown.
Emergency shutdown!
Unbelievable. SEELE has sent this directly to us.
The old men are trying to advance the schedule. With our own hands.
Those that foolishly forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
The power of Adam and the Angels should not be used in this way.
If people don't atone for their sins, there will be no change.
The future cannot be changed by our own hands.
Through Unit 01 our wish will be granted.
Unit 02 has broken through the armoured barrier.
Target is passing through Cocutus.
Send Unit 01 to intercept.
Yes sir.
Prevent the target from penetrating Terminal Dogma at all costs.
But what does the Angel want with Unit 02?
Is there any chance the Angel intends to merge with Unit 02?
Either that or lead it to destruction.
It's a lie! It's a lie! It's a lie!
Why would Kaworu be an Angel?
That's a lie!
It's the truth. Stop him.
Launch.
OK?
You're late Shinji.
Unit 01 is descending by Route 2. Intercepting target!
You betrayed me.
You betrayed my feelings!
You betrayed me just like my father!
Unit 01 has reached Layer 4.
Intercepting the target.
He's here!
I've been waiting, Shinji.
Kaworu!
Asuka, Sorry.
Humanity must hate the Eva Series since it is born of Adam.
But they're used to prolong the life of Lilith's Descendants.
This I don't understand.
Kaworu!
Stop! Why?!
Eva and I come from the same body.
This is because I am also born of Adam.
I can merge with it if it has no soul.
Now, the soul of Unit 02 is sealed.
AT Field?
Yes.
That is what you, the Descendants of Lilith, call it.
Nobody can attack the holy domain.
The light of the mind.
Lilith's Descendants should know that.
Everyone has an AT Field, the wall to one's mind.
I don't understand this! Kaworu!
Both Evas have reached the bottom.
The target is twenty layers from Terminal Dogma.
If at any time Unit 01's signal should disappear...
I know.
At that point use the self-destruct.
It's better that than have the Third Impact.
I'm sorry.
It's OK. As long as I'm with you.
Thanks.
Is this human destiny?
Human hopes are paired with sorrow.
What was that?
An AT Field more powerful than anything we've seen before.
Visual, electromagnetic, sub-atomic... all readings have been cut off!
We can't monitor anything.
The Final Barrier?
Both targets, Unit 01 and Unit 02 have been lost!
No connection can be made with the pilot.
Kaworu.
Wait!
The final safety device has been released!
Heaven's Door is opening!
It has finally arrived. The Angel.
Hyuga.
What?
Status?
It's an AT Field.
It's the same AT Field at Terminal Dogma's Final Barrier.
The Final Barrier has been breached!
Could it be another Angel?
Negative. Confirmation impossible.
No wait. It's vanished.
Disappeared?
The Angel?
Adam is the mother of our existence.
If we are born from Adam, must we not return to Adam?
Humanity will then be destroyed.
No.
This is...
Lilith.
Indeed.
Now I see. Lilith's Descendant.
Thank you Shinji.
I wanted you to stop Unit 02.
If you hadn't, I don't know if she would be able to live on.
Kaworu... Why?
It is my destiny to continue living.
As a result, humanity will perish.
But I can also die.
Live or die. It makes no difference.
Death is my only way to absolute freedom.
What... Kaworu...
I have no idea what you are talking about!
Kaworu...
It is my final request...
Come, give me freedom.
If you don't, then all of you will be no more.
There can be only one that will escape Armageddon and inherit the future.
And you are not the one that should perish.
You need the future.
Thank you.
I am happy to have met you.
