Actions you take are answered by the consequences waiting at their conclusion.
There are no exceptions.
And Lelouch's power is no use against them.
Even though he possesses the absolute power to make anyone to obey him,
there is no escape from the inevitable.
He took these actions to avenge his mother's death.
Lelouch also took them to create a world for his younger sister, Nunnally, to live in happily.
However, the world... People have forced him to face consequences he never expected,
and they ask for more.
If you say that such escalation will weave out a new world,
then who shall be charged with the crimes committed...
and will there be punishment for them to accept?
The dream that I dreamed Yumemiteta yume
Endless and distant Hatenai tooku
The sky-blue of dry days, in my hands Kawaita hibi no sorairo, te no naka
In the space between each tick of the clock Toukankaku oto no naka de
Trial and error Shikousakugo
A space without distance or time Jikan kankaku no nai kuukan
Making a life-sized sound Toushindai oto wo tatete
It defines my face Boku no kao tsukutte yuku
Cleanly, but only one side Kirei ni katahou dake
This rotting apple... Kono te ni ochita
That's fallen into my hand Kusarikake no ringo
Reflecting in the mirror Kagami ni utsuru
Even showing our other side Bokura no uragawa made
In the space between each tick of the clock Toukankaku oto no naka de
Trial and error Shikousakugo
A space without distance or time Jikan kankaku no nai kuukan
With life-sized claws bared Toushindai tsume wo tatete
I shave my face Boku no kao wo kezutte yuku
Cleanly, but only one side Kirei ni katahou dake
A distant sensation Toukankaku
GEASS VS. GEASS
Command to 4-0-1! Move to 9 o'clock to suppress the enemy!
You'll be under Sir Charing's command after that!
Special suppression unit C.P. to all Knightmare units!
Scramble code alpha! Alpha-Niner! Alpha-Niner! Confirm current situation and report!
Unit 9-0-3! Alpha-Niner, confirmed!
Wait!
Do not pursue! Protecting the viceroy has top priority here!
! ero! Come in,! ero!
Ohgi, is that you? It's me, C.C.
How's Zero?
He's all right, but can't move now.
Issue the order to retreat. If you keep this up, you'll be wiped out.
Y-Yeah, you're right. Got it.
Are you sure about this?
This is unusual. You're so shaken up you can't even issue orders. Now, Cornelia...
You're wrong. My gun's disappeared.
Someone took it while I was still unconscious.
Which means...
They saw your face.
There were at least two people.
The shooter and the one who was shot. Two people were here.
Shirley?
What are you doing up so early?
A letter?
Uh, no. It's nothing.
Or maybe it's a love letter.
Is it for Lelouch?
Maybe it is...
You want to meet Princess Euphemia?
To... To thank her! Just to thank her...
She risked herself to protect Nina during the hotel jacking.
She just jumped out, saying "I'm Euphemia!" Right?
I see.
I want to meet her, too!
Why?
Well, she's a princess! I can marry my way to royalty!
I don't think she'd meet someone with such indecent motives.
Indecent?
Nunnally, you can be so direct!
Right, Ms. President?
Just because Lelouch isn't hanging out with you, don't go turning your evil affections on me!
Still, I'd like to meet Princess Euphemia, too.
What about it, Suzaku?
Well, I mean... She's part of the imperial court, so...
Hello, Ashford Academy student council.
Suzaku?
Lelouch?
Is there anything... unusual over there?
Yeah, there is.
You're not here.
Now, look...
Although Shirley hasn't shown up yet, either.
You've been cutting classes lately. You have to take school more seriously!
Hmpf! Says the honor student!
Can you give Nunnally a message for me? Tell her I'll be home late tonight.
Not just "tonight." You mean "tonight, again."
What's the point of going to the same school if I never see you?
Hm? What's wrong?
Um, nothing. Darn it, Arthur! Agh!
What kind of game is he playing over there?
So, from what you can see...
Right. It seems Suzaku doesn't know about me.
So, that eliminates the possibility that I was seen by the military.
Aside from the military and the Black Knights,
I can't think of anyone else who would have come there.
There is the possibility that it was a survivor of the Japan Liberation Front.
Who then just stole your gun?
I'll have Ohgi search the black market.
What about that blood?
It's been collected, but it'd take too long. Besides that...
I thought I saw Shirley there at the battle.
Oh, the girl who kissed you?
Let it rest!
Just making sure it was her, lover boy.
But if that's true, then the thing we have to find out most urgently would be...
Both this last operation and the one in the Narita mountains.
What's clear is that they were specifically targeting you, Your Highness.
Attacking the head is a standard tactic in combat.
There's also what happened to Prince Clovis.
Zero may not just be attacking the Britannian order.
It's possible he may be motivated by hatred for the Britanninan royal family as well.
Hatred?
Euphemia... You gave yourself up for the sake of the commoners?
You haven't changed.
Be careful, Euphy.
I don't want any repeats of that hotel jacking.
Why not assign a knight to her?
A knight?
If Princess Euphemia has a knight to guard her full-time,
then we can build a royal guard for her around him.
Princess Euphemia already has the right to one as the sub-viceroy.
At first, I thought it was because he's so gentle at heart.
But don't you think he tends to fixate on saving peoples' lives?
Still, there's no problem with the performance data he's giving us.
and to be honest, I'd like to put that thing to the test with him.
We're still fine-tuning the system.
Besides that, regardless of treating Suzaku like part of a machine,
if we don't deal with this properly, we won't see or learn anything from him.
Pardon, but aren't you treating him like more than a colleague?
Well, I'm not sure. Still...
Hm?
Still, you are quick to notice silly things like that, aren't you?
Well, It's because I'm your boss.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for them to finish disinfecting my room.
Why must I have to go rifling through some stranger's underwear?
This is going to cost you!
Understood.
You could do it faster. And she wouldn't mind the boy she likes doing it.
That's my problem.
You get hung up about the littlest things.
Still, there's no sign of that gun in here.
And her diary is only written up to the 14th...
The 14th?
Yeah.
That's the day that her father died.
What are?
Photos of you.
Of me?
How sweet. How can you suspect her?
Stop saying it like that!
Narita.
Lulu... How could you have done this?
Yes, how indeed?
A fine memorial, Miss Shirley Fenette.
Wh- Who...?
Man, it was so close! We nearly had her!
Next time, I'll beat that White Helmet for sure.
Quit worrying about it.
Yeah, right, Tamaki was beaten right away.
The J.L.F. ship...
Why did it explode?
It self-destructed, right?
We told them that we'd help them, didn't we?
That's why Zero took action.
Oh, I know. It was a chance to see his face!
You're not doubting Zero, are you?
No, but...
You think the timing was just too convenient, right?
What do you plan to do if that was all really Zero's doing?
And just what are you implying?!
Hey, Diethard! I heard you turned chicken and ran!
A chickenshit Brit's got a lot of nerve talking that way to his superiors!
I was just trying to see how the battle was going.
Ohgi, you could see that, right?
Y- Yeah. Even Zero said it was all right.
So, do you love this "Shirley" girl?
I don't know.
Do you hate her?
I don't know.
Then why are we going to Narita?
Because there's a possibility she knows my identity, right?!
And if she does know, what then? Do we kill her?
Anyone you really don't want to lose should be kept at a distance.
Is that experience talking?
No. It's how I live.
Lelouch is a cruel man, isn't he?
How do you know about Lulu, too?
He had you fooled, didn't he? Even though he's actually Zero.
Who are you?!
The same mouth which ordered your father's death stole a kiss from your lips.
I would think that would be unforgivable.
Punishment must be mete out.
To him. And to you.
Me?!
I know everything. Everything that happened that night...
Is that Zero?!
Well, this is a surprise. The student is Zero himself!
A Britannian, as well.
They're going to make me nobility when I present him to Princess Cornelia!
Not a Knight of Honor, but real nobility!
And he's still alive!
Good. What sort of execution will suit you?
The viceroy will reward you as well...
Stupid of me... He's your boyfriend, isn't he?!
Lulu!
You're a murderer, too. Just like Zero.
No! I just!
On top of that, in exchange for your father's death, you actually profited!
No! I just... I just!!!
Cunning woman!
You pretended to look miserable so that he'd feel sorry for you.
You're wrong! You're wrong!
Did his sympathetic gaze make you feel good?
Stop it!
How long do you plan to play the tragic heroine?
I'm not trying to!
Heroines don't kill people to gain a boy's love. It's evil witches who do that.
You're wrong! I...
You knew there was another girl who likes Lelouch, so you wanted to be the one at his side.
You have to pay the price.
Will you carry these feelings for the rest of your life?
Bearing them all by yourself?
Unless you atone for your sins and free your heart,
you and Lelouch will be all the more pitiful.
CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion
I thought she'd be here.
We'll just have to split up and look for her.
Do you know what Shirley looks like?
What's with you now?
The possibility's so slim. I doubt she's even here.
And if she does know, what then? Do we kill her?
No, wait. There has to be another one.
Where are they? And what were they doing with Shirley?
Calm down. Work it back from the beginning.
Shirley?!
It's me. Where are you?!
Ah, where indeed?
Who are you?!
You son of a! What have done to Shirley?!
Ooh, I like it! The scary face!
The unforgiving face of a man whose woman has been taken from him.
Where's Shirley?!
You want to know?
Then I challenge you.
You specialize at this, don't you?
I don't have a photo. I can draw you a Batuan style portrait, if you like.
What, I'm supposed to wait till you finish drawing it? No, thank you.
It'd be faster to just ask the military or the police, wouldn't it?
I'd like to avoid a dull crisis like that, if possible.
Well, why not climb up on something tall and look around?
Very well. Never mind, then.
Hm? What's Lelouch up to now?
It can't be... Mao!
Is this him? The other witness?
I'll wager this chess game is just a distraction.
His real objective is to lure me someplace with no other people.
I've never played this game before.
Was he just being theatrical by calling me on my cell phone?
No, it was because he didn't know what I look like.
Meaning he didn't have enough time to get a photo of me.
This plan hasn't been meticulously thought through. If that's the case, then-
There's an opening you can use?
Shouldn't you concentrate a bit more on our game?
You'll lose, otherwise.
You're no beginner, you liar!
Lelouch, even you...
No, because of who you are, you'll never be able to beat Mao!
Impossible... He's beaten me?!
So, can I assume that I've won?
How can he always predict my moves? Who is this guy?!
Didn't C.C. tell you about me?
Well done! You instantly thought of 14 possible identities for me.
And one of them is extremely correct.
A Geass user?!
Oh, wait! You can't use your Geass unless you have direct contact with a person's eyes.
I know all the rules to your little gift.
You're a mind reader?!
That's pretty much what my Geass is.
Did you shoot Shirley?! Did you... Did you kill her?!
Of course not!
Shirley!
Now then, let the punishment game begin.
Zero... You weren't yourself yesterday.
Why do I feel this way?
Are you all right?!
Speak to me! Hey! C'mon!
You're alive!
So... It's you... Zero...
Shirley... That gun is!
Yeah. It's Zero's. Your gun.
Why not use your Geass?
You haven't used it on her yet, have you?
Although, if you use it, I'll shoot at once.
Can he only read surface thoughts?
Are there conditions that his Geass has to obey, like mine?
A time lag? A time limit?
And besides that, what is he after?! If he plans to kill me, then...
Go on, think about it. You love games of strategy, right?
The way you spin thoughts around and around...
Shut up!
This is a fitting death for a thief like you.
Lulu... Die.
Why not atone for our crimes? I'll even die with you.
What?
She actually shot the other witness.
All to protect your secret.
Then, that blood was...
Let's end this, Lulu.
Yes, yes. Crime must be punished, after all.
You put her up to this!
When you think about it, it'd be easy for a mind reader to manipulate people into doing things.
Yes, exactly!
Don't be fooled, Shirley! He's!
Oh, please! That's you, isn't it? The one who tricked her.
Stop it!
If murder is a crime, then don't compound it with more!
Well done! Your rhetoric is admirable!
Did you really kill anyone?! Are you sure he isn't just making you think that you did?!
She realized it herself.
There was no point in hiding it anymore.
That's not true, Shirley!
Just shut up!
Why are you hesitating? He killed your father!
Kill him! He's just a murderer.
But...
Shirley!
I... I!
What's with this girl? Her thoughts are just a jumble now. Never mind, I'll just...
Stop it! STOP IT!!!
Fine. Fine, whatever.
You're both free to do what you want.
Shirley!
What's the big idea? I had it all going so dramatically.
Well, it may be boring, but I'll just take care of them both the direct way...
Who's there?! How could I not have sensed them?!
It couldn't be!
C. C!
I knew it! We finally meet again! It's you! It's really you!
Are you awake, Mao?
Forgive me, Mao.
That's the way. See, Mao? You can do it.
Thank you, Mao.
You look wonderful, even in that outfit, C. C!
C.C., I'll come to see you!
I'll come see you as soon as I can! I swear! I SWEAR!
Mao...
I never thought you'd show up in a crowd.
Shirley, it's all right now. It's over.
Lulu, I shot someone. That's why I...
It's my fault. You did nothing wrong.
And I shot you...
I'm alive.
But I still shot you!
I forgive you. Any sin you committed is mine to bear.
I wanted you to be kind to me...
What's wrong with that?
Even though my father is dead now!
Just forget it. You should forget all the bad things that have happened.
- I can't!
- You can!
I'll let you forget all of this.
Impossible.
Shirley... I'm sorry about what happened to your father.
If I could be reborn, then you and I would be...
Lulu... NO!!!
Excuse me, did you lose family, too?
No, not family.
A friend. Someone... who may have been very important to me.
I see.
I only realize how important now because I've lost her.
Just how much I was saved by her smile.
And how I'll now never be able to bicker or laugh with her like that again.
You loved her, didn't you?
Right now... I don't know anymore.
Morning will come.
I've forgotten exactly why I came out here in the first place.
Maybe because I wanted to put something behind me.
Well, there are some things I just can't forget.
And a lot of sad things, too.
But morning still comes, right?
That's why you shouldn't try to hold thoughts like that back.
Yeah, you're right. I feel the same way.
Thank you. For everything.

Perhaps I was too soft.
Perhaps it would have been better to have just killed Shirley.
But...
Geass... If this power dooms its possessor to solitude,
then I need to strengthen my heart even more.
And then I have to pay back Mao for what he did!
