EPISODE 21:

(SCREEN TEXT: In the year 2000 A.D.)

(SCENE: Inside UN underground base - South Pole)

Scientist A:
The Super Solenoid theory proposed by Professor Katsuragi?

Scientist B:
It's just too far-fetched!

Scientist C:
It's still just a theory...

Scientist A:
Even so, the S2 theory is the only way to explain the source of that giant's power.

Scientist D:
And it's already been proven - even if it was by accident.

Scientist E:
The fact that it exists means that it must be accepted.

Scientist B:
I'll accept it when and only when all the data has been verified.

Scientist C:
What about the Lance of Longinus?

Scientist A:
It's still where it was brought ashore after arriving from the Dead Sea last week.

Scientist D:
Isn't some processing necessary before taking the Lance underground? Will it be okay?

Scientist E:
The physical contact experiment is scheduled for the 13th of next month.
There's plenty of time for any adjustment.

(Background conversation)

Woman:
I heard that Ikari's team is leaving on the 11th of next month.

Man:
I wish they'd locate the smoking sections closer...

Woman:
There was talk about making the entire facility non-smoking, so just be happy with what you've got.

Man:
I'd have to leave here if that happened - I can't work without my cigarettes.

Woman:
It's cold, the food is bad... truly a god-forsaken place at the end of the world.

Man:
What? Not "A" lunch again!?

Woman:
Damn, I could kill for some Osaka sushi!

(Second background conversation - most difficult to hear)

Kihl:
Scientists... they believe too much in their own ideas.

Gendo:
Self-flattery.

Kihl:
And they argue too much... Endless criticism and speculation.

Gendo:
And people like that are given charge of the truth... How ironic.

Kihl:
'God' is not that lofty an issue...
Discovery is fine and well, but they'll never understand it.
All they seek after is their own aggrandizement.

(SCENE CHANGE: Static... shaking pipes and cables... shaking increases in intensity... flashing light)

Announcement:
Emergency! Emergency!
All personnel, return to designated posts.
All non-vital personnel proceed to emergency shelters at once!

Scientist G:
It's exceeded the planned limit values!

Scientist H:
The Lance! Pull back the Lance!

Scientist I:
It's sinking!

Scientist K:
Do anything - anything possible to minimize the damage!

(Radio):
The genes implanted into Adam have already achieved physical merging!

(Radio):
The A.T. Field is releasing completely!

Scientist J:
It's no good! We can't maintain distance!

Scientist L:
It's sinking!

(Giant hands of light appear, reaching through the pipes - camera "transmission" goes down)

(SCREEN TEXT: For Your Eyes Only - UN Council)

Fuyutsuki living on houseboat - UN(?) agent invites him to join Antarctica expedition to research 2nd Impact

(Aichi Prefecture - The remains of Toyohashi City)

Man:
They say it's going to be another day of midsummer weather.
It's quite hot down here.

Fuyutsuki:
That's nothing new for the present Japan.
It's been summer for almost an entire year now. It takes its toll on you.

Man:
You're not going to move up to the other boat?

Fuyutsuki:
You mean the neighboring town?
That place still reeks of oil. I can't get used to it.

Man:
Still, that's no reason to open a practice here.
It took quite some time to find you.

Fuyutsuki:
They don't have enough doctors here.
I'm just acting like one, but it's better than no doctor at all.
(looks at papers)
The South Pole? Now!?

Man:
An official investigation of the incident ordered by the UN Council.
It's only a temporary organization, but I believe it would be far more use to the world than working as an unlicensed doctor here.
Professor Fuyutsuki...

Fuyutsuki:
That's 'ex-professor'. By the way, my column is blank...
Who recommended me?

Fuyutsuki going to confront Gendo regarding the truth of 2nd Impact - Sees Yui on steps of institute, but walks coldly past her

Fuyutsuki:
I had to find out the truth about that incident,...

[telop: 2003 AD - Hakone]

[telop: Artificial Evolution Research Institute- Under the immediate supervision of the United Nations]

Fuyutsuki:
... Even if the name "Ikari Yui" lie on that path...

Yui:
It's been a while.

Fuyutsuki (curtly):
Yes it has.

Yui/Fuyutsuki under a tree with baby Shinji

[telop: 2003 AD]

[telop: Hakone - Lake Ashinoko levee]

Fuyutsuki:
The same weather day after day...
The disappearance of autumn from this country is sad beyond words.
According to the scenario in SEELE's Secret Dead Sea Scrolls, Third Impact will definitely occur in a little over ten years.

Yui:
SEELE and Gehirn - organizations for preventing the final tragedy.

Fuyutsuki:
I support your intentions - Not SEELE's.

Yui:
Professor Fuyutsuki, it would be terribly dangerous to break that seal onto the world.

Fuyutsuki:
I've given all the materials to Ikari. It's not something one can do alone.
We won't repeat what happened last time.
Oh, and I've also been given a warning -
It seems that it would be no trouble at all for them to erase me.

Yui:
And those who survived as well. It's easy to exterminate people.

Fuyutsuki:
Still, that's no reason for you to become a test subject.

Yui:
Everything happens as it must. That is why I am with SEELE - for Shinji's sake...

Added cut/dialogue when Kaji frees Fyutsuki from SEELE

Kaji:
I just want to get closer to the truth... the truth within me. Besides, it seems they're catching on to the fact that I smuggled the Adam sample for Commander Ikari. If I don't start looking out for myself, things could be looking grim... for me.

Later...

Kaji:
Oh, what took you so long? (gunshot)
