(helicopter blades thrumming)

(insects buzzing)

(Squawks)

MAN (over P-A-):
Today at 12:30 p.m-,

a state of special emergency

has been declared
in the Tokai region

and the surrounding regions
of mid-Kanto.

All residents must vacate
to the designated

evacuation shelter
immediately.

I repeat, today at 12:30 p-m-,

a state of special emergency

has been declared
in the Tokai region

and the surrounding regions
of mid-Kanto.

All residents
must promptly vacate...

MISATO: How could I
lose him at a time like this?

(sighs) Just my luck.

OPERATOR: Due to a
state of special emergency,

all phone lines
are currently disabled.

Please try again later.

(sighs) Seriously?

(telephone beeps)

I shouldn't have come.

(sighs)

There's no way
I'll make it on time.

It's not possible.

Might as well head
to a shelter. Hmm?

(chirping fades)

-(rumbling)
-(gasps)

(wires whipping)

(gasping)

(heavy footsteps echoing)

(shudders)

Unidentified object maintaining advance
to headquarters

MAN:
We now have visual.

Routing image
to main monitors.

(announcements
continue indistinctly)

After 15 years...

GENDOH:
Yes, there's no doubt.

It's an Angel.

EPISODE 1: ANGEL ATTACK

(missiles whooshing)

(gasps)

PILOT:
Direct hit on the target.

(screams)

(Yelps)

(gasps)

(tires squeal)

-(car door opens)
-Huh?

Hey there.

Sorry I'm late.

(both gasp)

-(alarm blaring)
-MAN: Target unaffected.

Maintaining advance
toward Tokyo-3.

WOMAN: The air units are
unable to stop its advance.

-(announcements continue)
-This is an act of war.

Deploy all units
from Atsugi and lruma.

Throw everything at it.

Destroy the target at all costs!

What's going on?!

That was a direct hit!

It wiped out our tank battalion.

Guided munitions,
bombs, and artillery

are having no effect.

Damn it!

We need more firepower!

Is that the work
of the AT Field?

Yes. Standard weaponry
is useless against the Angels.

(telephone rings)

Copy that, sir.

We'll deploy the ordnance
according to plan.

(beeping)

I can't believe it.

They're arming an N2 mine!
Are they nuts?!

Get down!

(rumbling)

(both yell)

(debris falling)

Got him!

You have my sympathies.

Seems your services
weren't warranted.

WOMAN:
Shock wave incoming.

(static crackles)

MISATO:
Are you all right?

Shinji:
Yeah.

My mouth tastes
like dirt, though.

MISATO:
You'll be fine. Well...

okay, ready?

(both grunting)

(sighs) Couldn't have
done it without you.

Thanks for all the help.

Sure. I should thank you
as well, Ms. Katsuragi.

Call me Misato, all right?

It's nice to finally meet you...

-Shinji Ikari.
-You, too.

OFFICER: What's
the status of the target?

WOMAN: Due to EMI,
cannot ascertain target.

The blast was massive.

It couldn't survive that.

MAN:
Sensors back online.

(beeps)

WOMAN:
Energy readings at ground zero!

-What the hell?!
-MAN: Visual feed back online.

(officers gasp)

That was our ace in the hole.

-(sighs)
-Unbelievable.

Goddamn monster!

(squelching)

(warbling)

(rattling)

MISATO:
Yes. Quit worrying.

His safety is my top priority.

Just get the car train
ready for us,

and make it a direct line.

That's fine.

Look, I said I'd pick him up,

so it's my responsibility
to get him there, okay?

-Bye.
-(car phone beeps)

(moans) This is the worst.

I just finished
getting this car restored,

and it's banged up already.

It's gonna cost me
a fortune to fix it,

and I still have 33 more months
before it's paid off.

And my only decent outfit
is ruined.

Um, Miss Misato...

I got all decked out
today, too. (moans)

Um, Miss Misato...

Hmm? What is it?

Is this okay?

With, you know, those?

Oh, that. (laughs)

Don't worry about it.

I had to get the car moving,

and this is
an emergency situation.

I may not look like it,

but I'm
an international civil servant,

so this is perfectly A-OK.

Well, that doesn't sound
very convincing.

Lighten up, will you?

For someone
with such a cute face,

-you sure are uptight.
wasps)

Maybe I am.

Huh? What's wrong?

Wait. Are you hurt? (laughs)

Don't want to hurt
a young boy's feelings.

Well, Miss Misato, you don't
seem to act your age, either.

'(S-putters)
'(Screaming)

FUYUTSUKI: As predicted,
its body is regenerating.

Of course. Otherwise,

it'd be worthless
as a stand-alone weapon.

(radio chatter)

(all gasp)

Wow. Quite exceptional.

It seems to have enhanced
its abilities.

GENDOH:
And it's become smarter.

FUYUTSUKI: It's only a matter of
time before it resumes its advance.

-(alarm blares)
-ANNOUNCER: Gate closing.

Please stay clear.
The train will...

Shinji:
Special agency NERV?

MISATO:
Yeah. It's a secret organization

operating under the U .N.

My father works there,
doesn't he?

That's right. And do you know
what it is your father does?

ANNOUNCER: This shuttle
will pass all stations on the way.

A teacher once told me
that he has

the admirable job
of defending humanity.

(telephone hangs up)

As of this moment, you have
command over this operation.

Let's see what you can do.

Understood, sir.

Ikari, it's evident
that none of the ordnance

at our disposal has any effect
against the target.

But you still believe
you can defeat it.

NERV exists
for that very reason.

Then don't let us down.

WOMAN: Target status
remains unchanged.

Our current intercept capacity
is at 7.5%.

It seems the U.N. forces
have given up.

What are your intentions?

We'll activate Unit 01.

Use Unit 01?

But there's no pilot for it.

No matter.

Another spare
will arrive shortly.

-(train rumbling) -Are we on the
way to go see my father right now?

Uh-huh.

At least, I think so.

(shudders)

Shinji:
Father.

Oh, I almost forgot.

-Did your father send
you any I.D. forms? wasps)

-Yeah.
-(zipper unzips)

-Here.
-Thanks so much.

Come here!
-GENDOH Ikari

Oh, right.
Give this a read-through, okay?

Welcome to NERV
"NERV"?

My father's work.

Is there something
I'm supposed to do at NERV?

I mean, there has to be, right?

Father wouldn't have sent me
this letter if there wasn't.

I get it. You're not comfortable
around your father, are you?

That makes you just like me.

Huh?

Oh, wow.

An actual Geo-Front!

That's right.
And directly below us

is our secret base,
NERV Headquarters,

a bastion integral
to the restoration of the world

and protector of humanity.

MISATO:
Oh, I don't understand.

I'm positive this is the way.

I'm positive this is the way.

This is no place for a lady
wearing a skirt. (sighs)

But whatever. I wonder where
Ritsuko would go right now.

I'm so sorry.
Still not used to this place.

We already passed through here.

(sighs)
Don't worry about a thing.

NERV has systems in place
exactly for this.

WOMAN (over P-A.):
Dr. Ritsuko Akagi.

Dr. Ritsuko Akagi of
Technology Division Section 1

and Project E Director,

please contact
Captain Misato Katsuragi

of Operations
Division Section 1.

Unbelievable.

She's lost, isn't she?

-(motor whirring)
-(dial clicking)

(bell dings)

(gasps) Uh, hello, Ritsuko.

-(grunts)
-(nervous chuckle)

Stop messing around,
Captain Katsuragi.

We're too short
on both time and people.

(chuckles) Sorry.

(sighs)

So, is this the boy?

Yep. He's the Third Children,

as reported
by the Marduk Institute.

It's a pleasure.

Huh? Oh, hi.

He resembles his father
quite a lot,

like not being able
to make himself endearing.

I'll leave you in charge.

(lift motor whirs)

Three whole years
since they've seen each other.

-(telephone ringing)
-MAN: Deputy Commander.

The target
has begun moving again.

All right. All personnel to
battle stations, condition one.

WOMAN:
I repeat,

battle stations, condition one.

Ready ordnance
for ground intercept.

MISATO:
So they say.

RITSUKO:
Seems like a big deal.

MISATO:
What's the state of Unit 01?

RITSUKO: It's in type-B
configuration while being cooled down.

MISATO: Is that thing even
operational? It hasn't worked once, right?

RITSUKO:
Success rate is 0.000000001 %.

Somebody already nicknamed it
the 0-9 System.

MISATO (chuckles):
Cute. So it doesn't work.

RITSUKO: Oh, come
now. It's not exactly zero.

MISATO:
Sure, numerically, I guess.

(sighs)
Well, unfortunately,

we don't have the luxury
of accepting failure anymore.

(door whirs)

(Shinji whimpers)

-L-It's so dark.
-(light clicks)

(gasps)

A face? Is that a robot?

(grunts)

You won't find any record of it.

-Huh?
-The ultimate man-made,

multipurpose,
decisive combat weapon,

the artificial human,
Evangelion.

This is Unit 01.

Constructed in secrecy,

it's the very last trump card
humanity has in the deck.

This is my father's work,
isn't it?

-GENDOH: That's correct.
-(gasps)

It's been quite a while.

(gasps) Father.

(chuckles)

Launch the Eva.

Launch the Eva? We can't!

Unit 00 is still grounded.

(gasps) Wait.

You aren't talking
about Unit 01, are you?

We have no other choice.

And, Rei, she's in no shape
to pilot anything.

We don't have any pilots.

One has just arrived.

(gasps) You're crazy.

Shinji Ikari...

-Yes?
-You will be its pilot.

Huh?

MISATO:
What are you saying?

It took Rei Ayanami seven months

before she would synchronize
with an Eva.

He just got here.
How could he do it?

All I'm asking is that he
simply sit in the cockpit.

-You can't.
-Our number one priority is defeating the Angels.

For that reason,
any pilot even remotely capable

of synchronizing with the Evas
must try,

no matter their experience.

You should understand that,
Captain Katsuragi.

(sighs)

MISATO:
Yes.

Father, why did you send for me?

We just told you why.

So then I'm supposed
to jump inside

and fight
whatever I saw out there?!

Correct.

No! I don't want to!

After all this time, why now?!

You left me because
I was no use to you, right?

A need arose, so I sent for you.

But why? Why me?

Because this task
would be impossible for others.

It's impossible for me, too.

I've never even heard
of this thing until now,

and you want me to fight in it?!

They will explain how.

explain?

It's all too much.

I cannot pilot this thing!

Stop wasting time.

Either get in the Eva,
or get out.

(rumbling)

The bastard.
It knows where we are.

(energy surges)

WOMAN:
Layer one's armor plating 08

has been destroyed.

Shinji, we are out of time.

MAN:
Layers have broken down

in numerous locations
in Block T.

-Emergency lockdown...
-(gasps)

Get in the Eva.

No, I can't.

Besides, I just got here.

Why do I have to do this?

Shinji, tell me...

why did you come
all the way here?

Don't run away now,

not from your father and
especially not from yourself.

I know, but...

I can't! I can't do this!

(machinery beeping)

Fuyutsuki.

Wake up Rei.

In her condition?

She's not dead.

Very well, then.

-Rei.
-REI: Yes?

The backup isn't working out.

-I need you again.
-Yes.

Recalibrate Unit 01's system
to Rei's configuration.

-Reactivate.
-WOMAN: Roger.

Suspending all current tasks
and reinitializing.

Shinji:
I knew it.

No one wants me.

(wheels rattling)

(gasps)

(groans)

(panting)

(all gasping)

Ikari!

(Ikari yelps)

(debris splashing)

MAN:
Eva! It moved!

MAN 2 (gasps):
But how?

MAN 3: Its right arm
broke the restraints.

What? That's impossible.

The Eva's entry plug
isn't even inserted right now.

It can't move without it.

It just reacted
without an interface connection.

Wait. Could it be trying to...

protect him?

Okay-

(Shinji gasps)

(groans)

(shuddering)

Shinji:
Don't run away now.

Don't run away.

Don't run away. Don't run away.

Don't run away.

I'll do it.

I'll be its pilot.

MAN:
Cooling cycle complete.

MAN 2: Right arm

(gasps) Wait. What is this?

(gasps)

Relax, Shinji. Allow the liquid
to completely fill your lungs.

Oxygen will transfer
directly into your blood stream.

-You'll get used to it.
{grunting

(gags)

Eh, this is so gross.

Just deal with it!

-Come on! Be a big boy!

Ikari, are you really sure
about all of this?

Launch Eva!
