"PRISONER"
And just what happened
here?

C.C.
Who are you?1

"PRISONER"
Really shoulda done at least some research about this place before you stormed it, you know2.

C.C.
<thunk!>
<grunt>

"PRISONER"
Oho!
You must be the one the oh-so-mighty Elite Guard were talking about!

C.C.
You know, then?
About me...

SFX
<BLAM>

SFX
<thunk!>

<BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM>

"PRISONER"
<creaky laugh>
Yeah, can't stand up now, can you?!
How 'bout we burn you next? Dissolve3 you?

C.C.
<groan, grunt>

"PRISONER"
Oho!
Starting to heal already, huh?
Then why don't you tell us.
What were you hoping to do here?

C.C.
...

"PRISONER"
Fine.
If you won't talk, we'll just kill those two first!

LLOYD
<eek>

"PRISONER"
And if you still won't talk, we'll just bury everyone else down here alive.

C.C.
<ugh>
Bury us... here...?

VOICE (LELOUCH)
Oh, no.
I think you'll find
you're quite mistaken, there.

LELOUCH
You remember Narita, don't you, C.C.?
You were injured then to protect me, too.

LELOUCH
Immortal though you may be,
you're too quick to shed your own blood.

"PRISONER"
Where'd you come from...




"PRISONER"
Wait, it can't be...

"PRISONER"
The treacherous emperor...!
Whoa!
No way—

LELOUCH
<smirk>

"PRISONER"
Hahaha—! I see!
So this is where you've been hiding?!

"PRISONER"
Seeking asylum?
Nah, you wouldn't be here if you were...
Whatever, we don't really mind
liars like you, hah.

LELOUCH
Oh, but I mind
those of low character, like you.

"PRISONER"
!
You know,
never woulda figured the treacherous emperor Lelouch
for such an idiot!

"PRISONER"
Provokin' people when you're
totally unarmed!

LELOUCH
Unarmed?
Oh, no.
I do have a weapon.

LELOUCH
Perhaps you've heard of it...?

SAYOKO
!

LLOYD
!!

LELOUCH
My most powerful weapon...

LELOUCH
Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!
Quickly now, right here...

LELOUCH
Die!



SOLDIER
Yes, Your Majesty!

SOLDIERS/"PRISONER"
Yes, Your Majesty!




LELOUCH
There's a great deal more we must discuss4, but...

LELOUCH
I'm back, C.C.5

C.C.
(Welcome home, Lelouch.)



1 C.C. is echoing the man's basic structure. "And what happened? Here." "Who? [Are] you."
2 下調べ is both preliminary investigation and, like, preparation for a test. The whole sentence has a playful, chiding sound to it.
3 Presumably with acid? The verb is used for dissolving sugar in coffee, etc.
4 Lit. "There are [various/a lot of] things I want to say."
5 ただいま/おかえり are a ritual verbal exchange when someone comes back home where they belong. So, the first half can be translated as "I'm home," or "I'm back," or... "It's me." Lelouch clearly means all of them.
