KALLEN
Huh?

KALLEN
What the?

SAYOKO
Mistress Kallen?

SAYOKO (becoming SWAILE)
What is...?

KALLEN
!

KALLEN
Since when—?!

KALLEN
Think I'm gonna let you get away?!

SAYOKO
Mistress Kallen!
What's happened to you?!

SWAILE
Is there any better way to deal with the opposition than by having them destroy themselves...?

LLOYD
Huh?
What's all this?

KALLEN
!

KALLEN
Wha—?!

SAYOKO
(!)

KALLEN
!

KALLEN
!

KALLEN
Get off me, you bast—

SAYOKO
Don't tell me...!

KALLEN
Damn...!

SAYOKO
Geass?!

SWAILE
Oho.
If you know about geass...
I'm going to have to do more research on this whole thing.1

SWAILE
Wha...?

SWAILE
You—
But I know you were...

C.C.
Dead...2
Right?

SWAILE
In that case...

KALLEN
<disappears>

KALLEN
...Huh?

SAYOKO
Mistress Kallen!

C.C.
I see.
So your geass allows you to replace individuals in someone else's perception.
And I take it you can only use it on one target at a time?
What a modest ability.

SWAILE
Oh,
it's all I need on the battlefield.

C.C.
Assist me, will you?
I'd like to capture this geass user.

SWAILE
What?!
My geass... didn't work?
It can't be!

C.C.
You're out of your league.

SWAILE
I see!
Well, I didn't mean to insult a former leader of the Order.

SWAILE
I'll call on you again.3

C.C.
So they're part of that sect.

KALLEN
C.C.—
Those were your people...?

C.C.
No, I've already cut my ties with the Geass Order.
And V.V.'s gone, too, so who could have seized control of it...?

SAYOKO
This conversation can wait.
While I do apologize for dragging you into our affairs, Mistress C.C., now that you're involved...

C.C.
I know.
But...

KALLEN
But what?

C.C.
I have... a companion.

KALLEN
Well, sorry to do this to you, but you're both gonna have to come with us.

C.C.
Yeah, we will.

C.C.
After all, it would... cause problems
if he were found by the authorities.

KALLEN
?

KALLEN
...

KALLEN
(No way...)

SAYOKO
Mistress Kallen?

LLOYD
We should really get moving...

SAYOKO
...

KALLEN
Lelouch...?

LELOUCH
<prolonged screaming>

KALLEN
?!

C.C.
It's all right, Lelouch!
You're okay...!

LELOUCH
<still screaming>

KALLEN
Wha...?
Is that really...?

C.C.
Oh.
No.

C.C.
This...

C.C.
...is Lelouch,
and it isn't.





1 Lit. 'investigate the background'.
2 Swaile's construction is something like, "Just recently, you were certainly...", and C.C.'s response is, "[Your expectation is that I should be] dead... right?" These two sentence fragments go together seamlessly in Japanese, simply by omitting pronouns, which is perfectly natural in Japanese, but in English........
3 Also means 'to make a fresh start' or 'turn over a new leaf'..
