In this world, evil can arise from the best of intentions.
And there is good which can come from evil intentions.
In which manner should Lelouch's actions be taken?
Is judgment inevitable in this world?
Geass.
Those who use this superhuman power...
will find their hearts isolated, whether they want it or not,
falling into the gap between good and evil.
But if there is someone who can manage to climb out of it,
then that person has the potential to be a king.
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
NUNNALLY HELD HOSTAGE
GUREN MKII STARTUP
Yes, re-acclimation training for the post-refit Guren Mk-II is proceeding as planned.
There has been talk between Kyoto and the India military district,
so all that's left is to wait for the arrival of Rakshata from the development team.
Yes, the organization's changeover to a cell-based system is now 92% complete.
The members have also been distributed from class 1 to class 14.
As Zero has directed, we now have agents even inside of Britannian-owned warehouses.
In all, we have dispersed combat forces and personnel in 564 places in the Kanto block.
32 of our positions have been spotted, with 11 of those being dummy ones we set up.
47 of us have been arrested,
but since we've compartmentalized information above class 8 members,
the Britannians can't learn anything beyond that.
With Kyoto backing us, cases of the general population...
tipping off the military and the police are becoming more rare.
And the list of Britannian supporters...
Right, it's the group which you arranged, Zero.
Also, we're still looking for information about Tohdoh and the Four Holy Swords.
Understood. Continue with the work.
Are you sure you want me to be the messenger?
If you act modestly, they'll look down on you.
That's how it is with the Chinese Federation.
I'm not confident. Unlike you, I have a sense of humility.
Just act exactly like that. Got your passport?
It's a good forgery. I'm ready to go.
Are we going to stay in another house?
It's another of the Kururugi's houses.
We're headed for the main family house this time.
Keep walking, Suzaku.
But...
Keep walking.
What's that strange smell?
We're near a garbage dump. Right, Suzaku?
Suzaku, what's wrong?
I... I!
Nunnally...
My mother taught me that a warm touch is good for tears.
I have to try and overcome this.
Hey! Lelouch!
Morning! Haven't seen you in a while.
You better improve your attendance, or else you'll get held back.
The same could be said for you, right?
I've got a job. The Black Knights have been very active lately.
I thought you were in the engineering corps.
Um... We're shorthanded all over the place.
Still, how about dropping by for dinner once in a while?
Nunnally misses you. Are you free today?
Yeah, tonight I should be. But should I? I don't want to cause you any troub... Whoa!
Hey! Lelouch!
What's up?
Did you know the president was meeting a suitor?!
Yeah. Today, right.
Today?! If you knew, why didn't you tell me?!
Because it would have made you cry.
I'll try to smile!
Don't worry. I didn't know, either.
This is no time to be so clueless!
Clueless?
You have a tendency to be kinda clueless.
Anyway, about dinner. Shall I tell Nunnally?
Sure. Hey! What about school?!
I know! I'm just going to tell her!
He leaves me behind in my sorrow?!
Sayoko? My classes don't start till second period today.
Are you surprised?
These marriage meetings usually take place in hotels or restaurants.
Oh, no. I'd heard you were very unique person, Lord Lloyd.
Unique! What a wonderful way to put it!
Yes, and I'm surprised you'd be interested...
in a girl from the disgraced Ashford family after it lost its title.
Oh ho, but I couldn't care less about a loss of title.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry to be a bother.
Please, just take your time...
No, thank you. No need to waste time. So, shall we get married?
That was quick!
Shall we put it on hold, then?
Nunnally! Suzaku is...
Yes?
Big brother!
Nunnally! Where are you?!
I don't know, but I can't move.
Nunnally!
It's me, Lulu!
It can't be!
You let down your guard, Lelouch. You thought I was dead?
Mao, wait! C.C. isn't here now!
That's why I came. A opponent immune to my Geass would just be troublesome.
I've put off dealing with her.
I won't be satisfied until I've paid you back for what you did to me.
Naturally, you're somewhere within 500 meters of me.
Naturally. Want to try and find me?
You have 5 hours.
Oh, and since this game is between you and me, no using the cops as your pawns.
I prefer not to be shot like before.
Still, Britannian medical science really is amazing. I owe it a debt!
You know, Lulu, you should have used your Geass...
to have them kill me, not just shoot me!
You left things unfinished, and now your sister suffers.
What a predicament! What a peril! What a pinch!
Wait! Nunnally has nothing to do with this!
Isn't this a bit malicious to just be a game?
Oh?
If you're trying to upset my brother, I'll never forgive you!
Oh, brother and sister! What a pair you make!
A fight? Shirley and Lelouch?
Yeah, so we're supposed to play along for a while...
with them pretending they don't know each other, the president said... Oh!
What's going on with that suitor?!
Never mind that. Shirley and Lelouch...
Keep out of it. I'm sure it's just the usual lovers spat.
Huh? Do you know?
Oh, no way. It's got nothing to do with me.
You don't suppose he tried to cross the line, do you?
The line?
Well, Lelouch may be knowledgeable, but he's not great at putting it into practice.
Practice...
I mean he doesn't have enough experience.
Experience?
Oh, didn't he have enough food?
Arthur, why do you always do this?!
Hey, Lelouch! So, what happened with you and Shirley?
What? Um...
Maybe you should give her a present.
And what about classes? You'd better go to the afternoon ones...
Excuse me. Oh, and talk to me later about tonight.
You think he's off to gamble again?
Lulu, if you search for me while doing a handstand,
I'll extend your time limit an hour!
So, he's anticipated my impatience. But what do I do?
He has to be within 500 meters in order to read my mind, but...
Lelouch!
Wha? That's!
I thought so. Something's happened to Nunnally, hasn't it?
Welcome back.
What? Uh... Hi.
The food's almost ready.
Food? What, you went shopping? Outside?
No, I just made what I could find here.
Outside, they're still afraid of Britannia, so...
Have you been able to remember anything?
Sorry. Nothing yet.
That's okay. Nothing to worry about.
You're still injured. Just take your time and try to remember.
Okay, all done. I hope it's to your taste.
Uh...
So, who's kidnapped Nunnally? It's not the Britannian royal family, is it?
No, this has nothing to do with our blood ties.
It's some kid who wants a girl all to himself.
So, he's threatening you?
An official investigation may reveal who we are.
That's why I can't go to the army or the police.
It can't be helped. We'll just have to do something on our own.
But, is this about your gambling?
I said it isn't!
Okay, what are our clues?
Just this photo and that he's nearby, watching me.
And now that I think of it, I heard the sound of running water!
Water...
The water circulation system!
The lower levels?
Still, this is rare.
What?
Normally, you would have realized this right away.
Damn!
What?
He's changed the data. We'll just have to break the lock system.
That's against school rules!
I'll fix it later.
Then let me break it...
Too bad. It's open.
That was fast. You're a little too good at that.
The student council has partial access to the maintenance systems.
Lelouch, you've been using this to get off campus, haven't you?
Hm? Yeah, occasionally.
Well?
Just like you guessed.
He's linked a machine gun to the security camera.
That system only has a time lag of 0.05 seconds.
So, we can't get out of here.
We'll head back up and disable the system...
Hey!
Of all the reckless!
All right, let's go! Nunnally's waiting for us!
Nunnally! Nunnally!
Big brother? Suzaku?
I'm sorry! I'll get you down right...
Wait! Up there!
A bomb.
That's right, Lulu!
I allowed Kururugi to join in on this. Now show me how you two deal with this.
Nunnally, we're going to get rid of the bomb.
It's okay. Just stay calm.
There's nothing Lelouch and I can't do together, right?
Right!
That's a pendulum bomb.
A solenoid inside supplies it with energy to keep it swinging.
If an external force acts on it, the bomb will...
Explode. And we should assume it'll blow if we move Nunnally, too.
Can you guess its destructive range?
Up to a 500 meter radius, I think.
Does that mean Mao is out of range to use his Geass?
Is this another lure for me?
You know how to disarm it?
In theory.
We just have to cut the power line coming from the detonator.
Since he's not a pro, we could figure out which line is the dummy one.
Still, we have to think of another way to do it.
Why? If we can just figure out which one to cut...
Cutting the right one without disturbing the others? That's beyond human ability.
All right, then I'll do it.
It's not that easy! We don't know enough about this!
It's fine to play it safe, but we're fighting a time limit, right?
Besides, all you need to know is right here in front of you.
I'm also a soldier. Can't you use what I know, too?
CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion
I just need to get some toilet paper...
Man, this class sucks so bad...
For now, I've gotta goof off till graduation.
School regulations my ass!
Who does that idiot teacher think he is?
Easygoing kids! No wonder I hate schools!
Oh?
What now? What's Mao set up for me next?
Mao is wherever that camera watching Nunnally is transmitting to.
I never thought he'd go back to the school.
That damned clown!
I told Suzaku not to make any moves, but that just leaves me one option.
Welcome, my dear little thief!
No weapons, no plans, and you left the bomb alone.
And you didn't use the Black Knights or your friend from before.
What's wrong, Lulu?
I have no intention of discussing the obvious with you.
Do you have things ready for our last game?
Yes, let's put an end to this.
Using your specialty.
It's been such a long time since we could spend time like this.
There've been too many unexpected things that have happened since we came to Area 11.
All that desk work's making you fat, isn't it?
Oh, sis, lay off!
Sis, don't you think this garden looks familiar? Like the one at Lady Marianne's villa?
Yes, now that you mention it.
They say Clovis directed that it be built like this.
I'm surprised he liked it so much.
Even though he'd always be fighting with Lelouch there.
He must have seen Lelouch as his rival.
Even though Lelouch was younger than him?
Still, Lelouch and the others show up in the paintings he left behind.
Really?
We need to stabilize this area and arrest Zero soon.
For Clovis...
And as an apology for Lelouch and Nunnally.
This land has cost us the lives of three of our siblings.
This scale is connected to the bomb's detonator and to a cancellation switch.
We will place on it the chess pieces we each capture.
If the needle tips all the way towards me, the bomb explodes.
If it tips toward you, the bomb is disarmed.
In short, if you win, your sister's life is saved.
Your taste is repellant. No wonder C.C. left you.
Provoking me won't work. I can read your mind completely.
You aren't the type who can keep his mind clear.
There's the part of you that's the critic, constantly watching your own moves...
and the part of you who coolly observes the critic.
That's the sort of person you are.
It's hopeless. No matter how you think, my victory remains assured.
Bravo!
Your plan is to think of seven things at once in order to confuse me?
The thing is, if I confine my Geass to just you,
it's simple to read your real thoughts.
Oh, dear, I'm afraid your final plan won't work, either.
Since you think so little of me, your sister is going to die.
What will you do now? You're out of strategies.
Even though you can use others, as long as Nunnally is held hostage, then...
Sorry, I dropped it.
Your turn. Better hurry.
Come on, come on, time is running out.
Your little sister's going to die.
Oh, please! Make that move!
You sure you want to do that?
Isn't this enough?
Please stop this, Mao.
I can't hear you that well.
You've gotten what you want! Let Nunnally go!
Oh?
I've... I've lost to you.
Well said!
You've finally spoken to me from the bottom of your heart!
Oh, it feels wonderful! Fantastic!
But no use.
This move...
is check.
NO!!!
Nunnally...
So, how's it feel to have her get blown to pieces?
What the? Why isn't she?!
Did you?! You kept me concentrating on you so that?!
I am Warrant Officer Suzaku Kururugi of the Britannian military.
You're under arrest for disturbing the peace!
Suzaku...
You disarmed the bomb?!
Impossible... You matched the speed of the pendulum?!
Because Lelouch showed me which line I should cut.
I showed you?
What are you saying? These were your instructions, weren't they?
Including me busting in here if I heard you scream.
I did?
Of course...
That's it.
Mao, this makes it checkmate for me.
Lelouch, don't tell me you!
Apparently so.
After I gave Suzaku his instructions, I used my Geass on myself to make me forget.
Your belief that the mind's voice is the ultimate source of information led to your loss.
And confining the range of your power to read my mind was your downfall.
Impossible!
What would you have done if he had failed?!
Good point. I couldn't have made this plan work if I didn't trust Suzaku.
Sayoko? Everything's fine now. Right, if you could.
Sayoko?
You're safe now.
You think you've beaten me now?!
Stop it!
Unhand me, you father killer!
You killed your own father seven years ago!
You thought stopping your father, who called for total resistance, would end the war?
What a childish way of thinking!
The fact is, you're nothing but a murderer.
That's not true! I... I just!
It's a good thing no one ever found out,
thanks to all the adults around you who lied for your sake.
You mean, the story that Prime Minister Kururugi committed suicide to protest the military...
...was a gigantic lie. All of it.
A lie...
I had no choice! If I hadn't, Japan would have been...
Is that how you rationalize it now? Is it, Mr. Death Wish?!
You want to save people?
It's your own soul that you want to save.
You want to sacrifice your life, don't you?!
That's why you keep risking yourself!
Your good intentions are just for your own self-satisfaction!
You're just a naive boy who wants to be punished!
MAO!
NEVER SPEAK AGAIN!
Oh, hell!
Stop!
I did love you, Mao.
Mao... Go and wait for me. In C's world.
I...
I!

I'm a fool.
In the end, I never asked Mao about the contract he made with C.C.
And Suzaku...
Why, when we were reunited, did he? No, I'm wrong.
He's been making it clear for a long time now.
At that time, even if I had been the one facing him...
KNIGHT At that time, even if I had been the one facing him...
