Kaworu:
It's time (Literally: "Let's go")... Come,
child of Adam, and servant of Lilim.
(Kaworu steps off the bridge and floats mid-air)
(EVA-02's eyes light and it activates, breaking free from the cage)
(Command Center - warning indicators light and alarms sound)
Makoto:
EVA-02 has activated!
Misato:
What!? Asuka...?
(Monitor shows Asuka in sickroom)
Shigeru:
Confirmed in hospital room 303.
Misato:
Then who is...?
Maya:
It's unmanned! An entry plug is
not inserted!
Misato:
Unmanned? It isn't the Fifth Child?
(Monitor display: A.T. Field generating)
Makoto:
A.T. Field generation detected in Central
Dogma!
Misato:
EVA-02!?
(Monitor display: 17th Angel - Identified)
Makoto:
No, pattern Blue! Unmistakably an
Angel!
Misato:
What!?
(EVA-02 and Kaworu descend down the Central Dogma shaft)
(Control Center)
Misato (in disbelief):
An Angel!? That boy?
Operator:
Target passing Level 4... and still descending.
Shigeru:
No good! We can't cut off the power
to the linear elevator!
Operator:
Target passing Level 5.
Fuyutsuki:
Close all bulkheads throughout Central
Dogma! Do anything possible to gain time!
(Shots of bulkheads closing)
Announcement:
(??) All personnel - evacuate. All personnel
- evacuate.
Fuyutsuki (to Gendo):
Who would have thought that SEELE would
send one directly to us.
Gendo:
The old men are trying to advance their
schedule - by our hands.
(SEELE monoliths)
SEELE:
People forget their foolishness and repeat
the same mistakes.
SEELE:
People will not change if they perform
their own atonement.
SEELE:
We will not rely on Adam or the Angels...
Kihil:
We must advance into the future by our
own means. EVA-01 - fulfill your duty.
(Command Center)
Shigeru:
EVA-02 has broken through the armored
bulkheads!
Makoto:
Target passing the No. 2 Cocytus!
Gendo:
Have EVA-01 pursue!
Misato:
Affirmative!
Gendo:
Use any and all means to prevent the target
from entering Terminal Dogma!
(EVA-02 and Kaworu still descending)
Misato (wondering):
But, why would an Angel use EVA-02?
Fuyutsuki (to Gendo):
Does it plan to join with EVA-02?
Gendo:
Or to use it to bring about destruction.
(Shinji inside EVA-01 entry plug)
Shinji:
No! NO! NO!! Kaworu?
an Angel? It must be a LIE!!
Misato (on radio):
It's true - accept it. Now deploy,
okay?
(Kaworu still descending - looking upward)
Kaworu:
What's keeping you, Shinji?
(EVA-01 descending through Central Dogma shaft)
Operator: EVA-01, descending via No. 2 route in pursuit of target.
(Inside entry plug)
Shinji (angrily):
You betrayed me!
You betrayed my feelings!
You betrayed me just like my father!!
(Command Center)
Shigeru:
EVA-01 has reached Level 4 and is approaching
target!
(Central Dogma shaft)
Shinji:
There!
(EVA-02 and Kaworu look upward to see EVA-01)
Kaworu:
I've been waiting for you, Shinji.
Shinji:
Kaworu!!
(the EVA units lock grips)
Shinji:
Sorry, Asuka!
(EVA-01 and 02 draw their prog knives - Kaworu looks on coldly/sadly)
Kaworu:
The Eva series, born of Adam, and a loathsome
existence to humans.
Why the Lilim would use 'that' in order
to survive - I can't understand.
(EVA-02 lunges at EVA-01's head, but EVA-01 parries the blow with its prog knife - Sparks fly from the contacting blades)
Shinji:
Kaworu - STOP! Why are you doing
this!?
Kaworu:
Eva and I have the same body - For I am
also born of Adam.
I would be able to join with EVA-02, if
I did not have a soul. (vague)
Because the soul of this unit has shut
itself away.
(Deflected, EVA-01's prog knife thrusts
toward Kaworu - but is stopped by an A.T. Field)
Shinji:
An A.T. Field!
Kaworu:
Yes. That is what you Lilim call
it.
A sacred province inviolate to anyone
- the light of soul.
You Lilim are aware of that, aren't you?
That the A.T. Field is the barrier of
heart that everyone has.
Shinji:
I don't understand! Kaworu!
(EVA-02 thrusts it's prog knife into EVA-01's left chest - Shinji screams in pain and plunges EVA-01's prog knife into EVA-02's neck)
(Command Center)
Operator:
Both Eva units have reached the bottom
level.
Operator:
20 seconds before target reaches Terminal
Dogma.
Misato (to Makoto):
If EVA-01's signal disappears, and another
change occurs in the A.T. Field...
Makoto:
I understand... Self-destruct the entire
place, right? It's better than letting Third Impact occur.
Misato:
I'm sorry.
Makoto:
It's all right - as long as I can die
with you...
Misato:
Thanks.
(EVA units locked in death struggle)
Kaworu (sadly):
Is this people's fate? People's
hopes are bound with sadness. (Closes eyes)
(Command Center shakes violently)
Misato:
What's happening?
Makoto:
An A.T. Field! -The strongest yet
detected!
(Displays: A.T. Field generation and monitoring LOST)
Shigeru:
All light waves, electromagnetic waves
and even particles have been shut out. We can't monitor anything!
Misato:
A complete barrier!
Maya:
Target, EVA-01 and EVA-02, all lost!
Contact with pilot impossible!
(EVA units fall from hole in red ceiling into lake with salt pillars)
Shinji:
Kaworu!
(Kaworu looks back sadly over shoulder, then proceeds onward)
Shinji:
Wait!
(EVA-02 clutches at EVA-01's ankle... Kaworu unlocks "Heaven's Door")
(Command Center)
Shigeru:
Final safety system released!
Makoto:
Heaven's Door is opening!
Misato:
So an Angel finally reached Adam...
Hyuga...
(Makoto nods silently)
(EVA units square off against each other - surroundings shake violently again)
Shinji:
What!
(Command Center - Monitors: A.T. Field generation detected - Analyzing)
Misato:
Status?
Makoto:
It's an A.T. Field!
Shigeru:
Another A.T. Field, similar to the first,
has been generated near the barrier around Terminal Dogma!
Maya:
It's entering the barrier!
Misato:
Not - a new Angel!?
Shigeru:
Negative! Unable to confirm!
(Monitors go blank)
W - What!? It's vanished!
Misato:
Vanished? An Angel?
(Rei appears, standing on a ledge in Terminal Dogma)
(Kaworu, floating before Lilith)
Kaworu:
Adam, progenitor (Literally: "mother")
ours. Must those born from Adam return to Adam, even at the annihilation
of humanity?
(Eyes narrow)
No! This is... Lilith!? I
see... I understand now, Lilim.
(The nuclear self-destruct unit and deactivated EVA-02 crash into the chamber, followed by EVA-01, which grasps Kaworu with its right hand)
Kaworu (smiling):
Thank you, Shinji.
I hoped you would stop EVA-02. Otherwise,
I might have gone on living with her.
Shinji:
Kaworu... why?
Kaworu:
It is my destiny to go on living, even
if that means the end of humanity.
But I can also die here - Life and death
are of equal value to me.
My own death - that is my only absolute
liberty.
Shinji:
What!? Kaworu? I don't understand
what you're saying! Kaworu...
Kaworu:
My final testament.
Now, erase me - Or you will all be erased.
Only one form of life can escape the time
of annihilation - and obtain a future.
And, you are the one who should not die.
(Kaworu looks upward and smiles at Rei, who looks on coldly. Kaworu smiles)
All of you need a future.
(EVA-01's hand tenses slightly)
Thank you. I am happy to have met you.
(Prolonged stillness. Then...)
OMAKE - from EVANGELION ORIGINAL III, Episode 24, P. 24-38 and 39
(SEELE monoliths)
Kihil:
All the Angels born of Adam have now been
destroyed, making humanity the last remaining Angel. The promised time
has come - The time to invest a soul in Lilith and cleanse this impure
world.
(Command Center)
Fuyutsuki: Time has run its course...
Gendo: Yes. Everything is
finished, and thus everything begins.
