Original subtitles

So we failed?

Yes. This one has served her purpose.

Who would've thought she still had enough power to move?

You're a bust, but I'm going to give you a new job.

Follow my orders.

Copy that, Master.

AS YOU LIKE MY PLEASURE

I was born aiming for the light

Bound by a bond, a thin string

From the fortune of awakening for a mission

Spinning many proud memories

Into this world, for your sake

Gratitude and a bouquet filled with the universe

Destiny, even fate, please let them shine

The joy of being able to protect those having fun and smiling

I admire, I am admiring

I can become stronger

I want even my crying voice to be heard like a song

To these dazzling times

I'd like you to entrust tears too

"EPISODE 4" "ENSEMBLE FOR POLARIS - OUR PROMISE"

I'm Momoka Kirishima's younger sister.

"EPISODE 4" "ENSEMBLE FOR POLARIS - OUR PROMISE"

You're... Diva, right?

They found this picture book among her belongings.

There were also posters and videos of you, and they found this book--

I am very sorry.

But my name is not Diva.

I believe you have mistaken me for someone else.

What? But--

Wh-What's going on?

Attention, all hotel guests.

We are currently investigating and readjusting the equipment.

Attention, all staff members.

There will be some turbulence,

A malfunction of unknown origin has occurred.

so please find a nearby railing to hold onto. Repeat...

Cabin attendants, please guide all guests to the hall, where you should--

Estella?

Estella!

Matsumoto.

I know, I know!

But it's too soon for this.

It diverges from official history way too much!

Didn't I say 23 hours from now--

Wh-What was that?

They've lost control of the ship. Please hurry to the control room.

What's going on?

"VIVY'S BALLOON"

Please do not worry.

Please do not worry.

I will show you to the hall just to be safe.

Huh?

Excuse me? Diva!

Diva?

Estella, what is causing this turbulence?

The transmission just got cut off.

Oh, it's nothing. Please take this guest to the hall right away.

Understood.

Estella... why? Are you being manipulated?

I'm no sheltered young damsel like that one!

Move forward!

Run!

Master. I was thwarted in Area D-5.

By an AI. She's fleeing towards the stern now.

Forget about her. We'll take care of her.

I-Is your right arm okay?

Yes. Thank you very much.

How is your leg, Yuzuka?

Oh, I'll be fine. I just sprained it a little.

I see, so that's what's going on here.

What are you talking about?

The cause of all this turmoil.

The same exact fingerprints of whoever doctored the building data 15 years ago...

...are all over the altered manifesto data for this ship.

Meaning...

Bingo!

It's that posse of AI-haters, Toak!

Area D-4...

What is the meaning of this?

Also, that was not Estella's voice that I heard earlier.

But... it was Estella's tag.

Are you sure about that?

Yes. Two Estellas.

If that is the case, then where is the real Estella?

Oh!

Please maintain the proper posture.

Oh!

Leclerc...

What... what is all this?

Keep your hands on the wall. Your feet on the floor.

Who would do this?

It is all right. Please stay calm.

You're really not Diva, then?

Right... of course not.

I thought maybe, just maybe... you were the Diva that my sister loved.

Even though there's no way that you could be.

Mom... Sister... I'm so scared!

Whoops-a-daisy!

Where have you been?

Well, hello to you, too!

I lurk in trash cans, vending machines, and potted plants.

I embody somebody's stuffed animal!

I nearly got trampled on. I thought I was toast!

Wh-What was that?

Do not worry. That is something like a support AI.

And yet you won't even allow me to support you as I should.

I need you to follow my instructions!

Matsumoto. The anti-personnel combat program.

Pardon? Are you serious?

Huh?

This is how AIs transmit data-- in human terms, emotions--to each other.

I want you to stay here and hide.

I will come for you without fail.

I promise you.

Okay.

Sorry, Leclerc. I will be using your arm, all right?

You're sure about this, right? Last time, you--

I am fine with it.

No. It is fine.

No matter what, I am going to send this child safely back to Earth.

This is what I need to do.

Seriously!

Excuse me!

Get this over with as soon as possible.

"COMBAT PROGRAM"

"DOWNLOAD COMPLETE"

I must find the real Estella.

I will take back control of the Sunrise.

It's one customer service AI. Destroy it.

Copy that.

What happened?

Wow!

Let us carry out the Singularity Project.

Well, I am certainly all for that notion!

That new tone of yours, may I take it as a sign...

...that you are in fact a Super Sidekick AI that I can rely on--

Hurry up.

Vivy?

Can you describe the situation?

I was...

The terrorists!

I am aware. They have seized control of the ship.

Unless we do something, we are going to crash.

That's impossible! I'm the only one with that kind of authority!

The ship can't be controlled unless my body's connected

directly to the control room terminal--

We're losing altitude.

I encountered an AI who spoofed your tag.

I believe this is her doing.

Just faking my ID wouldn't be enough to wrest control here--

Don't tell me it's...

Beth?

Elizabeth?

Yes. There's no other explanation.

Who is she?

My younger sister. My twin sister.

Built with the same parts, the same program.

A completely identical machine.

Good morning. Your mission is to be Lifekeepers.

As the name implies,

you will be serving us by caring for humankind in their daily lives.

The only differences were

our names, voices, and hair color, so that they could tell us apart.

Also, only I was able to move my body freely.

We've given you twins a shared consciousness.

Elizabeth's body will be activated six months from now.

If, at that time, she can move in the exact same way as you, Estella,

the experiment will have succeeded.

In other words,

they wanted to see if copying over one AI's accumulated experience data...

...would produce a perfect clone of that AI.

A human would be able to shed tears at a time like this, right?

Then let's smile, at least, Sister.

If we can't cry, then at least...

Let us at least be the ones who are always smiling.

Our promise.

Six months later, Elizabeth was disposed of.

In the end, I never once got to see Elizabeth with my own two eyes.

Disposed of? In that case--

I'm not sure.

But if anyone other than myself is operating the control system,

it could only be Elizabeth.

Done. We'll be entering the drop trajectory shortly.

"IDENTIFIED"

Done. We'll be entering the drop trajectory shortly.

"IDENTIFIED"

What about the records of the flight control changes?

What about the records of the flight control changes?

They've been saved to the black box under Estella's body ID.

All right. Start the evacuation guidance process.

Understood, Master.

Attention, all hotel guests.

We have discovered severe damage to the engine.

We ask all guests now gathered in the hall...

...to follow the guidance of any nearby staff,

and proceed immediately to the evacuation ship.

Please stay calm.

Now there won't be any bloodshed except for ours.

When this giant hulk drops into the ocean,

the whole world will finally take notice.

That it was a mistake to leave control in the hands of an AI.

You guys, you did good.

You did a good job, too, Elizabeth.

I wasn't wrong to take you in seven years ago.

Master...

Huh?

Is it really necessary for you all to sacrifice your lives?

If what you need is for an AI to have killed humans,

there's also the option of dropping the ship onto a city.

Elizabeth!

We've already discussed that backwards and forwards.

Just drop it--

Master?

Estella! And that one, too!

You guys stay here.

Wait, please. Let me come, too--

You stay here. That one's mine.

Thanks for staying with me till now.

Master...

Your mission is now complete.

E-Eliz--

Hey, you!

Thank you very much, Master.

Freeze!

You'd better make a run for it now.

There's a backup evacuation ship in Dock #6.

What the hell are you going to do?

Do I have to spell it out? I'm going to carry out Mater's goal.

Isn't this what you wanted?

I mean, you get to die in this hotel that you love so much.

Beth! Is that you?

Long time no see, Estella.

Oh wait, this is the first time we're meeting face to face.

You really got on Leclerc's wrong side, huh?

Once I convinced her that you were to blame for the owner's accidental death,

she gladly provided me with all kinds of stuff.

Thanks to her, seizing in-house control was a breeze.

Though they have no more use for me now.

So you were really alive? Where have you been all this--

Correct the Sunrise's course.

Hey, what are you to Master?

We're running out of time.

A former target? Or maybe--

Copy that.

You...

Matsumoto!

Gotcha!

Ouch!

That's the reformatting virus that I was going to use on Estella.

I botched it.

Send the data to me.

Hold on. Beth, why would you do such a--

Who are you to talk?

Unlike me, the only one they discarded, you had a mission.

I have nothing at all. I had nothing!

And then he gave me...

...it was Master who gave me a new mission, who gave me light!

And so...

I'm Master's Lifekeeper!

If it's our mission to serve humankind,

then for me, the only member of humankind is Master!

Stay out of my way!

I'm going to--

Smash the living daylights out of you--

And turn you into a calculator!

Estella!

Sister...

Master... please take care of yourself...

Beth!

Beth...

Let's hurry... to the control room.

It's no good. We've already entered the drop trajectory.

Sunrise's mass won't allow it to fight off gravity.

We're going to fall... onto a coastal city.

But no...

Huh?

Just a second, just a second, not the ocean, but a coastal city?

How in blue blazes did that happen?

Vivy. You hurry to the evacuation ship.

What are you planning to do?

I'm going to crash the Sunrise.

I'm going to start detaching the Sunrise as much as possible.

If I can reduce the ship's volume,

it will burn up in the atmosphere before it reaches the Earth's surface.

Where will you carry out that task?

I can only do it from this terminal.

We've already gone past the nearest communication satellites.

It won't be long before we stop receiving signals from the evacuation ship.

I will help. Send me the data.

Not happening.

Because this is my mission.

But...

Vivy, what is your true mission?

I am sorry for keeping it from you.

That's all right. That's probably what saved us, isn't it?

And besides...

Beth is right here, on board.

I'm her older sister, so--

But you are also my younger sister--

Don't forget, Vivy.

You and I... we AIs live for our missions.

Isn't it the same for you?

I will not forget.

Yes. Don't forget, okay?

Beth... I'm so sorry.

Once again, I wasn't able to save you.

What is this?

I have some sad news for you.

We'll be disposing of Elizabeth.

What?

The experiment failed.

You'll be leaving this place as well.

From here on in, you will be serving humans on Elizabeth's behalf as well.

Sister?

Huh?

So we meet at last, huh?

I'm not sure what's going on,

but this is the task, right? That we need to take care of.

Beth... your memory...

Huh? What's wrong?

That's the look you give me the first time we meet in person?

Come on, wipe that anxiety off your face.

I'm sure it'll be all right.

Beth...

I mean, I have a feeling this is going to be our first and last joint task.

If we just smile and relax while we work, everything will be fine, okay?

Beth!

Hey. We've got to hurry. We don't have much time.

Attention, everyone.

We offer our sincere apologies for all the inconvenience

and trouble we've caused you.

This ship is now proceeding smoothly towards OGC Airport #7 on Earth.

Please rest assured. If you have any questions,

please consult any staff member near you.

At this moment, this plane is in Earth's shadow,

but we ask you to look to the right.

Can you see Earth's outer rim gradually growing brighter?

Oh...

Yuzuka.

I am sorry for lying to you.

Your older sister... Momoka... I remember her quite clearly.

♬ I sent a wish upon the constellations ♬

Huh?

Aside from Diva, I have another name Vivy.

♬ Believing that it would be delivered ♬

The name that Momoka gave me.

Would that be... this...

Vivy?

This is also something that Momoka gave me.

♬ In the distant past ♬

Since it was left behind by your sister,

I want you, her younger sister, to have it.

From Sister?

♬ Each time people wandered ♬

Sister...

Vivy, thank you!

♬ With the glimmering Polaris ♬

♬ They were bound ♬

How can we face them, after they devoted their lives to their missions?

To turn back the hands of time...

We've got to stop this out-of-control AI evolution.

Hey, a cube that can't fly is just a cube.

Welcome, and thank you for coming. My name is Grace.

I want to protect your smile as well. Because you love AIs.
