1
00:00:17,938 --> 00:00:20,108
Why don't you give up already?
2
00:00:27,368 --> 00:00:29,828
Everything was in vain.
3
00:00:29,908 --> 00:00:30,958
Everything.
4
00:00:31,458 --> 00:00:34,748
Trying to live, all the fighting…
5
00:00:35,458 --> 00:00:37,998
it's all just worthless.
6
00:00:38,708 --> 00:00:41,508
We promised to protect the human race.
7
00:00:42,378 --> 00:00:44,388
This is what happened as a result.
8
00:00:59,228 --> 00:01:02,528
This is Schoolmaster Smiley.
9
00:01:02,858 --> 00:01:04,858
Attention leaders of all departments.
10
00:01:06,028 --> 00:01:10,998
During transport, we lost
the girls necessary for the rituals.
11
00:01:11,248 --> 00:01:14,788
As it turned out,
they were killed by a bomb
12
00:01:14,958 --> 00:01:17,878
we set up as a fail-safe device.
13
00:01:20,458 --> 00:01:23,128
We did not want to kill them.
14
00:01:23,758 --> 00:01:29,428
But they are better off being dead than
being returned to the ignorant humans.
15
00:01:29,598 --> 00:01:32,308
Empress is the target of Artemis,
16
00:01:32,768 --> 00:01:35,138
but that's not all.
17
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:38,398
Black Rock Shooter is
the most evil existence in the world.
18
00:01:39,898 --> 00:01:42,148
We are deploying Charlotte.
19
00:01:43,318 --> 00:01:45,658
It may feel a little premature
20
00:01:46,238 --> 00:01:49,408
but this should resolve the situation.
21
00:01:49,488 --> 00:01:53,158
All crews are expected to
highly motivate themselves.
22
00:01:53,248 --> 00:01:54,618
That is all.
23
00:03:27,628 --> 00:03:31,138
Episode 4:
"Black Falls Down A Hole"
24
00:04:01,038 --> 00:04:02,168
Oh, wow!
25
00:04:09,918 --> 00:04:11,928
I've been waiting, Colonel.
26
00:04:12,008 --> 00:04:13,428
Volt.
27
00:04:14,138 --> 00:04:16,218
I'm the leader of the reinforcement unit.
28
00:04:19,518 --> 00:04:20,678
She must be…
29
00:04:21,268 --> 00:04:22,898
the human race's secret weapon.
30
00:04:23,768 --> 00:04:25,938
So it seems.
31
00:04:26,018 --> 00:04:31,448
Hemiteos Unit, mission code-name Empress.
32
00:04:31,528 --> 00:04:35,198
Also known as Black Rock Shooter.
33
00:04:42,748 --> 00:04:46,208
What? What's that? I'm a little scared!
34
00:04:49,958 --> 00:04:54,008
No battlefronts against Artemis
are improving.
35
00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:57,928
At least during these few weeks,
36
00:04:58,008 --> 00:05:00,388
none of our forts or territories
have been seized.
37
00:05:00,638 --> 00:05:01,808
And the Orbital Elevator?
38
00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:05,188
Orbital Elevator? What's that?
39
00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:06,858
Just listen quietly.
40
00:05:07,518 --> 00:05:09,938
It's steadily nearing completion.
41
00:05:10,438 --> 00:05:12,948
The time limit is one month.
42
00:05:13,448 --> 00:05:18,868
We must somehow bring Empress
to the Orbital Elevator by then.
43
00:05:20,238 --> 00:05:24,618
I must destroy the Elevator.
44
00:05:24,708 --> 00:05:25,878
Yes.
45
00:05:26,458 --> 00:05:31,508
And after that,
I must go to Light House No. 8.
46
00:05:32,088 --> 00:05:34,008
You have a lot of musts.
47
00:05:35,048 --> 00:05:38,468
I must protect everyone.
48
00:05:43,478 --> 00:05:45,098
I must…
49
00:05:48,478 --> 00:05:50,518
There are some problems we're facing.
50
00:05:51,278 --> 00:05:54,278
First, Empress has memory loss.
51
00:05:54,738 --> 00:05:59,698
There must have been a malfunction
when she rebooted from her long sleep.
52
00:06:00,238 --> 00:06:05,118
Also, other Hemiteos Units
have similar memory problems.
53
00:06:05,828 --> 00:06:09,538
We've been attacked by her former friends
twice while on the way here.
54
00:06:09,628 --> 00:06:10,668
What?
55
00:06:11,048 --> 00:06:15,928
The other day, with Empress,
we fought the Educational Institution
56
00:06:16,048 --> 00:06:20,098
and tried to rescue girls who were
going to be sacrificed in their rituals.
57
00:06:20,548 --> 00:06:23,718
Wasn't that unrelated to our mission?
58
00:06:23,968 --> 00:06:26,098
We needed to do it.
59
00:06:26,518 --> 00:06:28,808
We wanted parts to repair Empress.
60
00:06:29,398 --> 00:06:32,268
But in the end, the rescue failed.
61
00:06:32,568 --> 00:06:35,318
The girls were blown up in front of us.
62
00:06:36,068 --> 00:06:40,568
They'd rather kill them than lose them.
Very typical of the Institution.
63
00:06:42,908 --> 00:06:46,408
Anyway, Empress is mentally unstable
at the moment.
64
00:06:46,868 --> 00:06:49,498
We are wondering what she needs.
65
00:06:49,918 --> 00:06:52,628
Does she need time to rest,
or anti-anxiety drugs?
66
00:06:52,838 --> 00:06:56,758
Or some device
especially for Hemiteos Units?
67
00:06:57,258 --> 00:07:00,718
Once we figure that out,
we'll head towards the Orbital Elevator.
68
00:07:01,718 --> 00:07:05,678
I guess that bastard Smiley
is up to no good as usual.
69
00:07:06,018 --> 00:07:07,348
Smiley?
70
00:07:07,558 --> 00:07:09,598
The boss of the Educational Institution.
71
00:07:09,688 --> 00:07:12,108
I didn't explain it to you yet, did I?
72
00:07:13,478 --> 00:07:16,188
He's the one who set off the bomb?
73
00:07:24,198 --> 00:07:25,118
Can I come in?
74
00:07:25,198 --> 00:07:28,368
Oh, Major Volt? Of course, come in.
75
00:07:29,368 --> 00:07:31,748
Sorry to bother you, ladies.
76
00:07:31,828 --> 00:07:33,878
It's about the Colonel.
77
00:07:34,088 --> 00:07:34,958
Yes?
78
00:07:35,298 --> 00:07:38,838
I wanted to tell you both
something about him, especially Empress.
79
00:07:39,338 --> 00:07:42,008
The Colonel's wife and daughter
80
00:07:42,088 --> 00:07:44,138
were killed
by the Educational Institution.
81
00:07:44,218 --> 00:07:45,178
What?
82
00:07:46,768 --> 00:07:51,348
So when the sacrificial girls
were blown up by the Institution,
83
00:07:51,598 --> 00:07:53,648
the Colonel must have been shocked too.
84
00:07:54,648 --> 00:07:57,068
Why are you telling us this?
85
00:07:57,688 --> 00:07:59,738
I wouldn't usually disclose such things.
86
00:08:00,198 --> 00:08:05,198
But I decided to because I heard Empress
has been shaken since the incident.
87
00:08:07,538 --> 00:08:12,038
If we stop now, multitudes of people
will die because of us.
88
00:08:12,538 --> 00:08:15,288
That's why he's suppressing
his personal feelings.
89
00:08:16,298 --> 00:08:21,428
He'd probably rather fight the Institution
than go destroy the Orbital Elevator.
90
00:08:23,008 --> 00:08:26,348
Have you known the Colonel
for a long time, Major Volt?
91
00:08:26,508 --> 00:08:28,388
I've known him for about ten years.
92
00:08:28,968 --> 00:08:31,268
I respect him like a father.
93
00:08:33,478 --> 00:08:34,938
I don't have any family,
94
00:08:35,438 --> 00:08:39,528
so this Peacebuilding Force
is everything to me.
95
00:08:41,698 --> 00:08:43,658
Enough about me. Sorry to bore you.
96
00:08:44,238 --> 00:08:46,908
We leave tomorrow. Get some sleep now.
97
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:54,918
What do you think?
98
00:08:55,208 --> 00:08:56,128
Think about what?
99
00:08:56,538 --> 00:08:58,128
Well…
100
00:08:58,748 --> 00:08:59,918
Never mind.
101
00:09:00,008 --> 00:09:02,628
Would you like
to have sex with me to relax a bit?
102
00:09:03,218 --> 00:09:04,888
What's sex?
103
00:09:04,968 --> 00:09:08,008
My goodness!
Do I have to start from there?
104
00:09:08,098 --> 00:09:09,598
It's the act of love.
105
00:09:10,058 --> 00:09:11,478
I don't understand.
106
00:09:11,978 --> 00:09:14,898
I'm very tired today.
107
00:09:14,978 --> 00:09:16,688
I want to sleep.
108
00:09:16,808 --> 00:09:19,898
Oh, well.
It might be too early for you anyway.
109
00:09:33,498 --> 00:09:35,418
Okay. We're departing now.
110
00:09:35,498 --> 00:09:38,878
Our destination is
Artemis' Orbital Elevator.
111
00:10:44,488 --> 00:10:46,568
I should not be impatient.
112
00:10:48,608 --> 00:10:50,948
A vehicle is rapidly approaching.
113
00:10:51,528 --> 00:10:52,448
Unmanned Forces?
114
00:10:52,528 --> 00:10:55,538
No. It's an armed
two-wheel vehicle with a rider.
115
00:10:56,158 --> 00:10:57,748
Its speed is staggering.
116
00:10:59,668 --> 00:11:00,828
Vehicle verified.
117
00:11:04,958 --> 00:11:06,168
It's Dead Master.
118
00:11:06,918 --> 00:11:08,048
Damn it.
119
00:11:13,428 --> 00:11:14,348
Colonel.
120
00:11:14,428 --> 00:11:17,348
Hold it. Empress is too close.
121
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:18,348
Damn it.
122
00:11:18,938 --> 00:11:19,848
Roger.
123
00:11:19,938 --> 00:11:23,608
Stand by! Hold your speed and distance.
124
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:25,818
Empress!
125
00:11:26,648 --> 00:11:29,358
You are… Dead Master.
126
00:11:29,948 --> 00:11:33,488
Forgive me for suddenly
attacking you the other day.
127
00:11:33,658 --> 00:11:35,238
I apologize.
128
00:11:37,078 --> 00:11:39,208
I meant no offense
129
00:11:39,288 --> 00:11:41,998
because I love you.
130
00:11:42,078 --> 00:11:45,498
Love? Do you mean sex?
131
00:11:47,378 --> 00:11:48,258
What?
132
00:11:48,968 --> 00:11:52,258
I just learned about it last night.
She taught me.
133
00:11:54,098 --> 00:11:56,268
That b****!
134
00:11:56,348 --> 00:12:00,268
What? Is she glaring at me? Why?
135
00:12:01,848 --> 00:12:03,898
We'll talk about that later.
136
00:12:04,398 --> 00:12:06,148
Anyway, Empress
137
00:12:06,278 --> 00:12:11,068
you and I both lost parts of our memory
and are confused, isn't that right?
138
00:12:11,148 --> 00:12:12,028
Yes.
139
00:12:12,358 --> 00:12:14,988
But we do remember some things.
140
00:12:15,198 --> 00:12:19,038
All through our battles with Artemis,
you were in pain.
141
00:12:19,998 --> 00:12:22,538
I was in pain?
142
00:12:26,298 --> 00:12:30,298
Was I feeling this way the whole time?
143
00:12:31,428 --> 00:12:34,298
This world has gone insane.
144
00:12:36,888 --> 00:12:41,308
Artemis has exposed the insanity
of human beings.
145
00:12:44,688 --> 00:12:47,938
This world isn't worth saving anymore.
146
00:12:51,398 --> 00:12:56,868
Even if the Unmanned Forces didn't exist,
humans would probably kill each other.
147
00:13:03,828 --> 00:13:05,168
So…
148
00:13:07,538 --> 00:13:10,508
I'm going to kill you. Don't worry.
149
00:13:11,008 --> 00:13:12,758
I'll die too, right after.
150
00:13:13,048 --> 00:13:16,928
Although before I die,
I'll pleasure myself with your corpse.
151
00:13:20,598 --> 00:13:22,978
Hey! She's not normal!
152
00:13:23,768 --> 00:13:28,018
You're saying you'll destroy me
to end my suffering?
153
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:29,148
Yes, I am.
154
00:13:29,858 --> 00:13:32,238
Did you come all this way to tell me that?
155
00:13:32,318 --> 00:13:34,778
I was in too much
of a hurry the last time.
156
00:13:34,858 --> 00:13:37,698
I ambushed you, so you ran away.
157
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:42,788
Now that you know my intentions,
you'll offer your body to me, right?
158
00:13:45,038 --> 00:13:46,538
I don't feel like dying.
159
00:13:46,628 --> 00:13:50,298
So, you won't let me kill you?
After all my begging?
160
00:13:50,878 --> 00:13:53,298
It's not that I don't ever want to die.
161
00:13:53,378 --> 00:13:58,548
I just want to decide
when I will die for myself.
162
00:14:03,638 --> 00:14:08,058
Negotiation has failed.
It's time to use force.
163
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,568
Hey, wait. I…
164
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:15,948
No!
165
00:14:16,028 --> 00:14:18,368
The armed vehicle is breaking away.
166
00:14:19,278 --> 00:14:23,288
This is bad.
She's more dangerous from a distance.
167
00:14:23,538 --> 00:14:24,368
What?
168
00:14:24,448 --> 00:14:27,708
Is there anywhere to hide?
169
00:14:27,788 --> 00:14:29,208
Goddammit.
170
00:14:30,288 --> 00:14:35,218
It ended up this same way again.
Why doesn't she understand me?
171
00:14:59,108 --> 00:15:01,618
Jet-type fighter drone confirmed.
172
00:15:02,578 --> 00:15:04,828
It's attacking the two-wheel vehicle.
173
00:15:05,408 --> 00:15:08,078
Intercept! Anti-aircraft fire!
174
00:15:27,058 --> 00:15:28,098
Damn.
175
00:15:46,198 --> 00:15:48,618
What the hell is that?
176
00:16:13,148 --> 00:16:14,898
God damn.
177
00:16:29,248 --> 00:16:31,288
Charlotte?
178
00:16:31,868 --> 00:16:35,288
What's happening? Why?
179
00:16:36,548 --> 00:16:38,798
Nice to meet you…
180
00:16:40,088 --> 00:16:42,508
Is this over already?
181
00:16:43,798 --> 00:16:45,008
That was too easy.
182
00:16:45,848 --> 00:16:50,558
Schoolmaster Smiley wants you so badly.
And yet you're so weak.
183
00:16:51,058 --> 00:16:54,558
It's strange. I envy you.
184
00:16:54,688 --> 00:16:57,688
Empress is mine!
185
00:16:57,768 --> 00:16:59,778
Get your filthy foot off of her.
186
00:17:10,448 --> 00:17:12,788
You are… well…
187
00:17:12,868 --> 00:17:15,458
Dead Master, aren't you?
188
00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:19,748
You're supposed to be a good sniper,
but you came so close by.
189
00:17:20,378 --> 00:17:21,758
How pathetic.
190
00:17:36,558 --> 00:17:38,938
Why don't you give up already?
191
00:17:39,858 --> 00:17:42,238
Everything was in vain.
192
00:17:42,318 --> 00:17:43,568
Everything.
193
00:17:44,238 --> 00:17:47,118
Trying to live, all the fighting…
194
00:17:49,158 --> 00:17:51,698
it's all just worthless.
195
00:17:52,658 --> 00:17:55,578
We promised to protect the human race.
196
00:17:56,168 --> 00:17:58,588
This is what happened as a result.
197
00:18:00,168 --> 00:18:02,418
Do you have anything to say to them?
198
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:05,838
No, nothing.
199
00:18:07,048 --> 00:18:09,298
I'm going to kill you.
200
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:15,728
I'm not giving up.
201
00:18:31,738 --> 00:18:33,118
Stop!
202
00:18:34,788 --> 00:18:36,078
Charlotte!
203
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:47,508
Wait.
204
00:19:09,568 --> 00:19:11,198
Empress.
205
00:19:11,278 --> 00:19:13,618
I'm not going to die yet.
206
00:19:15,198 --> 00:19:18,868
So I don't want you to die yet either.
207
00:19:28,968 --> 00:19:30,888
Charlotte.
208
00:19:42,978 --> 00:19:45,898
I'm done! Oops.
209
00:19:53,198 --> 00:19:56,618
Repair complete. This is a sturdy car.
210
00:19:57,498 --> 00:20:01,828
Six men left in the reinforcement unit.
211
00:20:05,298 --> 00:20:07,508
Why didn't you shoot her?
212
00:20:09,128 --> 00:20:10,718
That's because…
213
00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:14,008
she's my daughter.
214
00:20:15,258 --> 00:20:16,678
Oh, my.
215
00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:19,928
She was kidnapped by
the Educational Institution.
216
00:20:20,518 --> 00:20:22,148
I thought she was dead.
217
00:20:22,398 --> 00:20:25,608
I don't know why she…
218
00:20:27,278 --> 00:20:32,358
I don't get it. I really don't get it.
219
00:20:34,868 --> 00:20:36,368
I messed up.
220
00:20:37,538 --> 00:20:40,498
I've lost so many of my men again.
221
00:20:45,038 --> 00:20:46,708
Black Trike can track her.
222
00:20:46,798 --> 00:20:49,758
We can still pursue Charlotte.
223
00:20:49,838 --> 00:20:50,718
What?
224
00:20:50,798 --> 00:20:52,468
Of course we can.
225
00:20:52,548 --> 00:20:54,968
You must if she's so dear to you.
226
00:20:55,048 --> 00:20:58,638
It's too late for regrets after death.
227
00:20:59,098 --> 00:21:03,688
But our mission is to destroy
the Orbital Elevator.
228
00:21:04,018 --> 00:21:07,438
Maybe we don't have to pursue her.
229
00:21:08,818 --> 00:21:12,068
She'll be back, that jet-drone girl.
230
00:21:12,318 --> 00:21:13,568
I'm sure of it,
231
00:21:13,818 --> 00:21:15,988
because her target is Empress.
232
00:21:16,618 --> 00:21:21,618
If we keep moving towards the Elevator,
she'll try to get Empress again somewhere.
233
00:21:23,998 --> 00:21:25,328
And when that happens…
234
00:21:25,878 --> 00:21:26,918
Just talk to her.
235
00:21:28,338 --> 00:21:31,088
Dead Master understood how I felt.
236
00:21:31,588 --> 00:21:33,258
First, have a talk.
237
00:21:33,338 --> 00:21:35,388
Ask her what happened.
238
00:21:36,178 --> 00:21:38,258
What if communication fails?
239
00:21:38,928 --> 00:21:42,518
I'll be sure to capture her
without killing her.
240
00:21:43,848 --> 00:21:45,518
Empress.
241
00:21:45,598 --> 00:21:49,018
I'm not going to give up.
242
00:21:49,108 --> 00:21:53,858
Charge finalized 12 minutes ago.
We can go any time, Empress.
243
00:21:53,948 --> 00:21:54,778
Okay.
244
00:23:38,928 --> 00:23:40,928
