Nier: Automata Ver1.1a (2023) s01e10 Episode Script

[beeping]
- 9S really went through hell.
But we were able
to send him back to the bunker,
so he'll be repaired in no time.
- Yes, thank you.
- All I did was deliver him
to the retrieval point.
It's nothing to thank me for.
- But even so
- Be careful.
- [grunts]
- Remember,
you're alone right now.
- Pod,
patch me to the commander.
- I heard you destroyed
a special machine life-form
code named Eve.
Good work.
We just discovered that
the majority
of their machine network system
was being held together by
the life-form you destroyed.
Destruction of the network hub
they utilized should weaken
the machine life-forms greatly.
- According to the remaining
special unit Adam,
the aliens have already
been wiped out.
- We'll look more into that
matter before confirming it.
Until then,
it's classified.
- I understand.
Oh, and--
- What is it?
- How's 9S?
- 9S will have to undergo
a full data overhaul.
Once reformatted,
he'll be partnered up
with you again.
I'll be authorizing 9S's Pod
to accompany you
in the meantime.
- Understood.
- I know you're alone
at the moment,
but I have another mission
for you.
With the destruction
of their key unit Eve,
we've already begun
to see numerous machine
life-forms being severed
from their network.
That being said,
their constructing
of a new network
is all but confirmed
at this point.
We've deduced the location where
their communications
are concentrated.
It is highly likely that
the other key unit, Adam,
is located there as well.
Your mission, 2B,
is to destroy Adam.

- Eve.
You're no longer
[chair drags across floor]
[gasps]
- E
ve.
- [gasps]
[chair scrapes and clatters]
[motors whirring]
V-Ve.
E-Eve.
[metal clanging]
both: Alert.
both: Alert.
[beeping]
- One at a time.
Now, what is it?
- Alert: multiple machine
life-form signals confirmed
up ahead.
- Don't worry.
I'm well aware.
[bubbling]
- No hostility detected amongst
surrounding machine life-forms.
all: God. God. God. God. God.
Welcome his grace.
Welcome his grace.
Welcome his grace.
Welcome his grace.
Welcome his grace.
Welcome his grace
- There's too many.
- Welcome.
- [gasps]
- To the domain of god.
all: Welcome to the domain
of god.
We have realized the existence
of a higher being called god.
In the name of god,
I echo his words of wisdom
that all existence
must be equal.
all: Must be equal.
- What are these things
talking about?
- No need to worry.
His grace seeks to sign
a peace treaty with you all,
ending our fighting.
- What?
A peace treaty?
His grace?
Adam?
- Alert: possible enemy trap.
- Down this corridor,
if you wish to welcome peace.
- [grunts]
[motors whirring]
- Once I accepted god
into my heart,
I was filled with bliss
and serenity.
- When we were lost,
his grace lit the path forward
for us.
- May hardship and conflict be
forever banished
from this world we live in.
- Report: hypothesis that
the machine life-forms
in this area
are of a commune different
from Pascal's community.
- A different commune?
- A group that adheres
to certain beliefs,
rules,
and traditions.
Record: diversity
of machine life-forms.
[alert buzzing]
- You're talking a lot today,
Pod.
- Affirmative.
We are support units, after all.
We converse whenever necessary.
- Proposal: 2B initiates
conversation more often.
- Denied.
[gasps]
- Continue on up ahead
and you will arrive
at the sanctum of his grace.
[buzzing]
- It's not Adam.
[gasps]
- Eve.
Why did you
- Report: no signs of activity
from the machine life-form ahead
of us.
- Does that mean it's
[metal clanging]
[gasps]
- [snarling]
- His wondrous grace
has become a god.
all: Has become a god.
- [gasps]
- His wondrous grace
has become a god.
all: Has become a god.
- His wondrous grace
has become a god.
all: Has become a god.
- His wondrous grace

[alarm buzzing]

all: Serve the god.
- All of you
as well shall serve the god.
all: We'll all die together
as one and become like Eve.
- [gasps]
[all speaking Japanese]
[rapid gunfire]
[grunts]
[shouts]
They're endless.
Both: Proposal: retreat.
- No, Pod.
Patch me through to the bunker.
- Affirmative.
- Bunker, this is 2B.
We've had a run-in with a horde
of machine life-forms
in an abandoned factory.
We need an immediate route.
- [radio signal buzzing]
- Communications here
are unstable.
- Then loop a distress signal.
- Affirmative.
- [grunts]
Now, Pod!
both: Affirmative.
[footsteps pounding]
[gasps]
[metal clanging]
- Report: multiple hostile
machine life-forms
have been detected on
the retreat route.
- Report: current retreat
success rate,
approximately 30%.
Proposal: reconsideration
of retreat route.
- Easy for you to say.
If only
[elevator clangs]
[alert buzzing]
[grunts]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, 2B!
It's me, 9S!
[grunts]
I'm controlling this machine
life-form that I hacked into
from the bunker!
- 9S?
- I'm going to break into
the factory systems,
and then I'll secure a route
to get you guys outta there.
Get ready to follow my lead.
- Understood.
- In any case,
that was a close one, 2B.
I guess you need me
by your side after all.
You know, hacking into
a machine life-form
like this with such
an unstable connection
requires delicate operation,
even for us type S units.
I'm not saying I'm the only one
who could do it, but--
hold on!
Wait for me, 2B!
- You as well must die.
- This is a really
strange situation.
What prompted all
of this to begin with?
- I don't know.
I came here under the orders
to destroy
the special unit Adam.
They all just went berserk.
- Destroy?
They wanted you to take
it on all by yourself?
Even for you,
that's a reckless mission.
- What choice do we have but
to follow orders?
Since Adam wasn't here,
this case needs
to be reported to the bunker.
They'll want
to investigate this.
- Well, if they do want us
to investigate this later,
I'll be sure to accompany you
to raise
the mission success rate.
- Roger that.
- Alert: massive hostile machine
life-form detected.
- [gasps]
Watch out!
- [grunts]
[shouts]
- 9S!
[shouts]
- Analysis: sizable energy
and physical defense shields
detected over enemy unit.
Both long and close-range
attacks will prove
to be ineffective.
- Large energy supply detected
within this factory.
Proposal: energy source should
be destroyed at once.
- 2B, it's all right!
I'm going to hack in
and shut off the power
to the factory.
I need you to buy me
a little time.
- Roger that!
- Factory system at 50% control.
60%.
- [grunts]
- 70%.
80%.
Almost there.
90%. 97. 98. 99.
2B, I'll shut down
the electrical suppl--
- 9S.
- Report: Enemy shield
deactivation confirmed.
- [grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts]
- Report: number
of hostile machine
life-form responses
sharply increasing.
- [gasps]
- Commander!
- Oh, 9S.
What is it now?
- 2B is surrounded by machine
life-forms in the factory.
She needs backup!
- Is that so?
Hmm.
- Commander!
- Mobilize all rescue units
near 2B's location.
This is an emergen--
[alarms blaring]
[both gasping]
- Code F2.
Sensing an anomaly
- Machine life-forms
lying dormant
in various locations
have awakened.
- We have shifted
to alert level four.
- Can you send rescue
unit signals for 2B?
- The anomaly is causing
too much interference.
- We're unable to issue
the rescue signal.
- We cannot do it because
this area has exhibited
a special type of radio jamming.
- 2B.
- Proposal: cancel
the attack area limiter
for this unit in order
to fight back.
- This unit also requests
the same cancellation.
- That limiter cancellation
could end up damaging
your circuits.
- Prediction: 76% chance
of this squad being annihilated
by adhering to status quo.
- 80%.
- 85%.
- 87%.
- 89%.
- 90%.
- All right, then.
Cancel limiters.
both: Affirmative.
[gasps]
Pod!
- Report: 1,800 seconds required
for reactivation.
- Proposal: re--re--retreat.
- [gasps]
[gasping]
Wait a minute.
They missed?
- We will die and become as Eve.
- Let us become Eve together.
- Farewell. Farewell.
- Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
- [gasps]
[buzzing]
- Eve.
Finally.
I finally understand now.
Without you here,
I'm truly alone.
I should have played
with you more.
I'm sorry.
[buzzing]
[indistinct chatter]
- Jackass.
Are there any readings on
the radars we set up?
- About that.
Hostile machine
life-form signals
are increasing all over
the city ruins.
- So suddenly?
There seem to be a lot.
- Your guess is as good as mine.
It's an abnormal situation
no matter how you look at it.
I don't know what could
have caused this.
[distant booming]
[both gasping]
- Confirmed explosion near
the resistance camp in
the city ruins.
Detecting malfunction in
- Two patrol units dispatched
in B district have disappeared.
[both speaking at once]
- YoRHa soldiers,
prepare to deploy!
- [gasps]
In that direction
[beeping]
- This--resistance camp.
If you hear this
'Questing backup!
- [gasps]
It's Lily!

[humming]
- Huh?
If I'm not mistaken, you're--
- That's right.
I am the resistance's
maintenance unit,
the redhead twin android Popola.
I take it you're 9S
of the YoRHa soldiers?
- Yes!
YoRHa number nine, type S,
A.K.A. 9S,
The android that fights
for humanity,
reporting for duty!
By the way, Popola,
what exactly are you doing?
- I'd like to share some info
with you about those special
machine life-form units.
9S, do you have some time?
- Sharing information is vital!
Let's do it!
- We can start by having you
relay information about
the special unit that
you saw back in the field.
- Roger that!
So I just need to draw
what I saw on this chalkboard?
- You catch on quickly, 9S.
- Let's see.
The special unit I saw
was a mid-sized four-legged
machine life-form.
It appeared to be traveling with
a herd of deer in a forest.
It was almost as if it
were acting as a deer itself.
Then after I recorded its data,
I destroyed it!
- I see.
What an interesting unit.
- Popola, what info do you have
about special units?
- There are two special units
that I recall having seen.
One of them stood out to me.
It was different from other
normal ones I'd encountered.
It appeared to be trying
to mimic an ancient life-form.
It stood up on its hind legs
firing laser beams
from its mouth like this.
- Wow, that sounds ominous.
Certainly intriguing behavior.
What kind of unit
was the other one?
- The other one
also greatly differed
from machine life-forms
I'd seen before.
I remember it attacking me
in the desert area.
It looked like a tank
but had hideous decorations.
Though it was a machine,
you could feel the blood lust it
had for androids.
- I'm surprised you survived!
In any case,
why did a maintenance android
like yourself have
to head out into
the dangerous desert area?
- I went out there because
I wanted to pick a desert rose.
- To pick a desert rose?
Is that material for something,
or was another
dangerous job shoved
at you so you had to?
- Neither.
We went to go pick
it on our own accord.
We plan on using it for--
- Hey!
The booze we made from
the desert rose is ready!
Forget about this machine talk.
Let's have a drink!
- You must be--
- That's right.
I'm the resistance's other
maintenance unit,
the redhead twin android Devola.
9S, was it?
You can have a drink, right?
- Sorry, I'm really not supposed
to drink on duty.
all: Cheers!
- Whew! This feels great in
my non-existent internal organs!
That reminds me,
someone was saying the other day
that some folks add "nyu"
to the ends of sentences
when they're drunk.
Ain't that a hoot?
- That's very cute indeed.
And sounds like it'd be popular.
- Hey, don't go quiet on me!
Man, he's already asleep.
What a hopeless case.
Nyu!
[chuckles]
Oh, uh
both: Schlink!
We'll have to handle them
by ourselves!
- Quick, 9S, call for backup!
Wait, he's asleep.
9S, wake up!
- [shouting]
- [groaning]
2B, you finally called me Nines.
Oh, I'm so happy I feel like I
could cry right now!
- Wake up!
- Please get up.
- [gasps]
I fell asleep!
This situation
What I can do for them right now
is cheer them on!
Go for it and do your best!
Go Devola!
Go for it and do your best!
Go Popola!
Defeat the machine life-forms
and emerge victorious!
Here and there
and here and there and there!
- 9S, please!
We can't hold out much longer!
- 9S, we're--
we're done for!
- Maybe this isn't the time
to be cheering.
- Yeah, well, it's too late
to help now, you dunce!
