Meryl | Undertaker! |
Meryl | Where’s Vash? |
Wolfwood | That’s none of my business anymore. |
Meryl | Huh? |
Meryl | Stop playing around. |
Wolfwood | What? |
Meryl | Where is Vash? |
Wolfwood | I’m tellin’ you, I don’t know. |
Wolfwood | Maybe Knives is turning him into a mummy or something. |
Wolfwood | What was that for? |
Meryl | I’m so disappointed in you. |
Wolfwood | Huh? |
Wolfwood | Who does she think she is? |
Knives | Don’t panic, Vash. |
Knives | Now, let’s begin. |
Conrad | Initial connection complete. |
Conrad | Vitals are stable. Looks like the connection was a success. |
Conrad | At last, a hundred years of my research bears fruit… |
Meryl | Stop this. |
Meryl | I mean it. |
Conrad | You won’t shoot me. |
Conrad | It’s bulletproof glass. Besides… |
Conrad | Forcefully severing the connection now would be fatal. |
Meryl | What are you trying to do? |
Conrad | The plants are just husks. |
Conrad | Their true being is located elsewhere. |
Conrad | Not here, but an alternate dimension. A higher plane. |
Conrad | That’s where the energy we consume from plants originates. |
Conrad | Plants are merely windows that connect the two dimensions. |
Meryl | So what do you want?! |
Conrad | Why do you think the twins are the only ones with their own will? |
Conrad | I hypothesize that the key difference between the plants and Independents |
Conrad | is the existence of a soul. |
Conrad | In order to give the plants souls, we must connect to the core. |
Meryl | What core? |
Conrad | The manifestation of the beginning and the end. |
Conrad | The source of all matter and energy. |
Conrad | Access the core. Give plants souls. |
Conrad | That is my objective. |
Meryl | Are you saying… you intend to make every plant on this planet an Independent? |
Vash | This place… |
Knives | Curious this is the first memory I come to. |
Vash | What do you mean? |
Knives | Do you remember what I vowed that day? |
Knives | I’ve done it. I found the way to free them. |
Knives | To make it happen, I need your help. |
Knives | Come. Let us save our brethren together. |
Vash | You know why humans abuse plants? |
Vash | Because they crashed on this barren planet. |
Vash | It’s our fault! |
Knives | I see. |
Vash | Then be crucified on behalf of the Sinners, as you wish! |
Meryl | If all the plants become Independent, humanity won’t survive! |
Conrad | We’re already in the process of a slow suicide. |
Conrad | Plant Independence is the only way to reverse that. |
Conrad | Vash’s “window” is special. |
Conrad | He’s the only one able to take from and send to the higher dimension. |
Meryl | He’d never agree to something like this! |
Conrad | That is why he shall be remade. |
Meryl | Remade? |
Conrad | Second connection successful. |
Conrad | We can now interfere with every plant using Vash as a window. |
Conrad | This is the point of no return. |
Meryl | Vash! Snap out of it! |
Meryl | Vash! |
Conrad | Initializing assimilation, absorption, awakening, and memory manipulation. |
Meryl | Memory manipulation? |
Conrad | Knives. |
Knives | It’s going well. I’m heading deeper now. |
Knives | Soon, you won’t recognize anything. |
Knives | Not me, not the world… |
Knives | Nothing. |
Wolfwood | I owe you one. |
Wolfwood | Gotta make a choice, huh? |
Rosa | Leave this town! |
Tonis | You said you’d save us. |
Vash | Tonis… |
Rollo | You said you’d save us. |
Vash | Rollo! |
Wolfwood | You want us to live on, even if it’s as monsters? |
Wolfwood | How could you be so irresponsible? You can’t even take care of us. |
Wolfwood & Knives | Kill him. Put him out of his misery. |
Monev | Kill… |
Monev | Kill…! |
Vash | No, Rollo. |
Vash | That’s enough! |
Knives | You’re no hero who’ll save everyone. |
Knives | You’re just a coward who can’t stand to watch anyone die. |
Vash | Where am I? |
Vash | My hand… |
Vash | This isn’t real! It’s a dream you’re showing me… |
Vash | It’s fake! |
Vash | I have to get out of here. |
Vash | I have to find the exit. |
Conrad | Synchronization at 40 percent and climbing. |
Knives | I won’t let you get away, Vash. |
Vash | This is… |
Young Nai | That’s right. It’s the Big Fall. |
Young Nai | What will they think once they learn it was your fault? |
Young Nai | Don’t you worry. |
Young Nai | They’re just feeble creatures that don’t even live for a century. |
Young Nai | Now forget. |
Young Nai | Let go and relax. |
Vash | Who were they again…? |
Conrad | Synchronization at 70 percent. |
Conrad | Seventy, eighty… What speed! |
Meryl | What’s going on? |
Meryl | These are… They’re like the flora! |
Conrad | What is this, Knives? |
Knives | Don’t panic. |
Young Nai | Release your powers, Vash! Let’s remake the world! |
Conrad | Synchronization at 90 percent… |
Conrad | Progress has stalled? |
Young Nai | That woman… |
Young Nai | There you are! |
Young Nai | Rem Saverem! |
Conrad | Love for humanity versus… |
Conrad | love for a younger brother. |
Conrad | It will determine the fate of the world. |
Shopkeeper | Quite an appetite you’ve got there. You on your way home? |
Chuck Lee | Nope. |
Shopkeeper | I see. |
Soldier 11-A | Haven’t you heard? The Humanoid Typhoon snuck into the city. |
Shopkeeper | What? No way. |
Soldier 11-B | That’s why we’re working all night. |
Meryl | Vash! |
Meryl | Don’t get taken in! Wake up! |
Flashback,Young Vash | A “flower”? |
Flashback,Rem | Yes. This one’s a geranium. |
Flashback,Rem | There were lots of other flowers back on Earth, too. |
Flashback,Young Vash | Can you eat it? |
Flashback,Rem | Not this kind, I’m afraid. |
Flashback,Young Nai | So it’s ornamental, right, Rem? |
Flashback,Young Nai | Just like the one in the plant room. |
Flashback,Rem | That’s right, Nai. You’re very observant. |
Flashback,Young Vash | Too bad it’s not edible… |
Flashback,Young Nai | You’re always thinking about eating. |
Flashback,Young Vash | Well, sorry that’s all I’m good for. |
Flashback,Young Nai | That’s not what I said. |
Flashback,Young Vash | It’s what you meant! |
Flashback,Young Nai | What was that? |
Flashback,Rem | Gosh, you’re always bickering. |
Flashback,Rem | Nai, just because you’re the one with special powers‚Äî |
Flashback,Young Nai | Yeah, yeah. It doesn’t mean I should show off, right? |
Flashback,Rem | The power you received is wonderful, but promise me this. |
Flashback,Rem | When everyone wakes up from cryosleep— |
Flashback,Young Nai | Never show it to anyone but you. |
Flashback,Rem | And even if you don’t need to‚Äî |
Flashback,Young Nai & Rem | Pretend to eat and drink. |
Flashback,Young Nai | I know. |
Flashback,Young Nai | You should be more worried about Vash. |
Flashback,Young Nai | At this rate, he’ll really just be a human. |
Flashback,Rem | That’s fine. There’s no need to compare yourself to anyone else. |
Flashback,Rem | You are who you are, and that’s all you need to be. |
Flashback,Rem | You too, Nai. Come here. |
Flashback,Rem | Powers or no powers, both you boys are still precious to me. |
Flashback,Rem | I love you. |
Vash | This must have meant something to you, too. |
Knives | You really think so? |
Flashback,Young Vash | This is bad, Nai. |
Flashback,Young Nai | You have to be wondering what Rem is hiding, too. |
Flashback,Young Nai | Me? |
Flashback,Young Vash | And me, too. |
Flashback,Young Nai | Project Code “Type T”? |
Flashback,Young Nai | Another Independent like us was born on this ship… |
Flashback,Young Nai | Fifty years ago. |
Flashback,Young Vash | The records are being kept… here? |
Flashback,Young Vash | H-Huh? |
Flashback,Young Nai | What? |
Flashback,Rem | Nai! Vash! |
Vash | I know that humans did terrible things to her. |
Vash | I understand why you’d hate them. |
Vash | But even so… |
Knives | You still don’t get it? |
Knives | That was but one grain of sand. |
Flashback,Young Nai | Humanity repeats the same tragedies. |
Flashback,Young Nai | They deplore conflict, yet no era is ever free from war. |
Flashback,Young Nai | History is proof. |
Flashback,Young Vash | Reading that again? |
Flashback,Young Nai | Humanity never learns. |
Flashback,Young Vash | That’s not true. |
Flashback,Young Vash | Rem told me. |
Flashback,Young Vash | When we were born, she vowed never to let that tragedy occur again. |
Flashback,Young Vash | So… |
Flashback,Young Vash | let’s have faith in humanity. |
Knives | Without any powers, you’re too weak to live as a plant. |
Knives | That’s why you craved the love of humans over all else. |
Knives | You needed to smile, show your charm, and behave like a harmless pet. |
Knives | You’ll never find happiness that way. I had to protect you. |
Knives | That’s why I crashed the ships. |
Vash | It’s my fault? |
Knives | I did it all for you. |
Knives | This is it! The final memory… |
Conrad | Synchronization at 99 percent. |
Meryl | Please, make it stop! |
Meryl | It’s not too late! |
Conrad | It is indeed too late. About 150 years too late. |
Meryl | Vash! |
Meryl | Artillery fire? |
Soldier 11-C | A giant unknown organism has appeared in the central tower! Need backup! |
Chuck Lee | What is that thing? |
Conrad | We’re so close… |
Knives | That woman was the cause of all the confusion. |
Knives | What you tried to believe was love, Vash, was just a bunch of excuses. |
Knives | Mere silly fantasies. |
Vash | No! Rem! |
Vash | Please! Don’t leave me! |
Knives | I’ll save you. |
Conrad | Synchronization at 100 percent. |
Conrad | Memory manipulation and assimilation complete. |
Knives | I’ve finally got him back! |
Knives | Happy birthday, Vash. |
Conrad | Third connection successful. |
Conrad | That’s… |
Conrad | the entrance to the higher plane! |
Soldier | This is the Third City JuLai to the Alliance of Cities! |
Soldier | Request immediate assistance! |
Knives | Flaming arrows will vaporize the cities, and a flood will purify the lands… |
Knives | Today is the battle of Har Megiddo. |
Knives | I’m going to enter the higher plane and directly touch the core. |
Conrad | Be careful, Knives. |
Meryl | You’re… |
Conrad | It’s been a long journey. |
Conrad | Until Knives realized his wishes, I was not even permitted death. |
Conrad | But it’ll all be over soon. |
Knives | The human race and its zealous assertion of dominance ends here. |
Knives | We Independents… |
Knives | will bring a new order to this world! |
