00:02:08,717 --> 00:02:15,191
If you can hear it,
it is speaking to you.
3
00:02:16,291 --> 00:02:21,297
And if you can see it,
then it is your...
4
00:02:29,638 --> 00:02:33,984
Mankind is a creature that no
longer evolves, is it not?
5
00:02:35,043 --> 00:02:39,185
Compared to other animals, the cancer
rate in man is exceedingly small.
6
00:02:39,881 --> 00:02:44,626
One theory says that man is a neoteny,
and is no longer able to evolve.
7
00:02:45,487 --> 00:02:51,267
If this is true, then what an absurd
creature man has evolved into.
8
00:02:52,494 --> 00:02:55,907
Not knowing what it
is that drives them,
9
00:02:56,164 --> 00:03:00,271
they keep their bodies merely to
satisfy the desires of the flesh.
10
00:03:01,102 --> 00:03:03,605
They're worthless, don't you think?
11
00:03:05,207 --> 00:03:08,051
That's all mankind is.
12
00:03:14,115 --> 00:03:18,154
But it is no longer necessary
to remain a wretched human being.
13
00:03:19,487 --> 00:03:24,459
Mankind has finally created an
exit whereby he may escape.
14
00:03:26,528 --> 00:03:27,734
What do you mean?
15
00:03:27,762 --> 00:03:32,438
The network. The Wired, Lain.
16
00:03:33,401 --> 00:03:35,506
Who are you?
17
00:03:35,537 --> 00:03:39,007
I'm God.
18
00:03:55,557 --> 00:03:57,764
Wanna go get something to eat?
19
00:03:57,993 --> 00:04:00,234
Hey, aren't you hungry?
20
00:04:05,433 --> 00:04:08,573
Hey, wanna go to the pool next time?
21
00:04:28,857 --> 00:04:30,564
Oh, man...
22
00:04:54,949 --> 00:04:56,360
Tell me a story!
23
00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:14,038
Come on, please!
24
00:05:18,707 --> 00:05:21,051
Tell me a story, okay?
25
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:25,250
What kind of story would
you like to hear, Lain?
26
00:05:25,447 --> 00:05:27,120
Let's see...
27
00:05:30,452 --> 00:05:32,261
Something I don't know about!
28
00:05:36,591 --> 00:05:40,403
There is nothing that
you don't know.
29
00:05:40,428 --> 00:05:44,069
I can't tell you a story
that doesn't exist.
30
00:05:44,766 --> 00:05:47,007
You understand, don't you?
31
00:05:49,170 --> 00:05:51,707
Well, how about this, then?
32
00:05:51,773 --> 00:05:56,381
For every event, there
is first a prophecy.
33
00:05:56,978 --> 00:06:01,051
An event first comes into existence
when there is a prophecy.
34
00:06:01,783 --> 00:06:04,855
Who? Who makes the prophecies?
35
00:06:09,657 --> 00:06:14,800
Throughout Tokyo today, the VTCZX road
traffic information transmission system...
36
00:06:14,929 --> 00:06:16,636
sent out incorrect information.
37
00:06:16,798 --> 00:06:22,441
Especially at congested intersections,
traffic signals interfered with the...
38
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:26,646
auto-drive program in cars and
trucks, sending them out of control.
39
00:06:27,342 --> 00:06:30,949
There was a fatality
in Shibuya, Tokyo,
40
00:06:31,012 --> 00:06:34,289
but the Information Ministry says
that the system is already back up,
41
00:06:34,349 --> 00:06:36,920
and that such an accident
will never happen again.
42
00:07:17,559 --> 00:07:19,061
Excuse me.
43
00:07:19,594 --> 00:07:20,402
Huh?
44
00:07:20,929 --> 00:07:21,930
Uh...
45
00:07:26,067 --> 00:07:28,570
Mind if I hit on you?
46
00:07:37,779 --> 00:07:39,190
Oh, shit...
47
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,350
Later!
48
00:07:40,615 --> 00:07:42,856
H-Hey!
49
00:07:46,855 --> 00:07:48,664
That little creep...
50
00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:55,102
Damn it, this is gonna stain...
51
00:08:05,306 --> 00:08:07,843
W-What the heck is this?
52
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,923
Some kind of bad joke...
53
00:08:18,653 --> 00:08:19,893
What the hell...?
54
00:08:19,921 --> 00:08:20,922
What's she doing?
55
00:08:20,955 --> 00:08:22,559
Is she crazy?
56
00:08:39,607 --> 00:08:41,245
Lain?
57
00:08:43,978 --> 00:08:46,288
What's her problem?
58
00:09:27,055 --> 00:09:30,525
The prophecy is
being fulfilled, Lain.
59
00:09:31,526 --> 00:09:34,166
But then it's not a prophecy...
60
00:09:34,195 --> 00:09:36,266
No, it is a prophecy.
61
00:09:36,331 --> 00:09:40,802
History is not merely a linear
collection of points that...
62
00:09:40,835 --> 00:09:44,749
we pass through
on a timeline.
63
00:09:44,772 --> 00:09:47,616
They are connected by a line.
64
00:09:47,642 --> 00:09:52,751
No, perhaps it is more accurate to
say that they are made to connect.
65
00:09:53,381 --> 00:09:57,295
By who? Who connects them?
66
00:10:21,209 --> 00:10:22,517
Lain!
67
00:10:29,183 --> 00:10:31,356
What did you do?
68
00:10:32,353 --> 00:10:36,267
I had no idea. I guess
you're pretty good.
69
00:10:36,557 --> 00:10:40,300
I didn't know you could pull off
a hacky stunt like that already.
70
00:10:40,662 --> 00:10:42,164
What're you talking about?
71
00:10:42,196 --> 00:10:44,301
Playing innocent again, huh?
72
00:10:44,532 --> 00:10:47,376
I really don't...
73
00:10:47,602 --> 00:10:49,912
You didn't do it, Lain?
74
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:52,313
Do what?
75
00:10:56,244 --> 00:10:59,282
The Information Control Bureau
of the Information Ministry...
76
00:10:59,313 --> 00:11:02,192
began investigating yesterday's
information network abnormality,
77
00:11:02,216 --> 00:11:05,322
stating that it was very
likely a deliberate act.
78
00:11:06,054 --> 00:11:10,730
With the network now a lifeline for
not only the city, but for society,
79
00:11:11,092 --> 00:11:14,505
such an act is tantamount to...
80
00:11:28,676 --> 00:11:30,917
Your total is 948 yen.
81
00:11:31,512 --> 00:11:33,992
Out of 948 yen.
Please, enjoy your meal.
82
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:37,520
Huh? There it is again.
83
00:11:37,819 --> 00:11:38,889
Again?
84
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,358
What?
85
00:11:40,388 --> 00:11:42,732
Spam. Indiscriminate mail.
86
00:11:42,757 --> 00:11:44,293
I'm really getting tired of this...
87
00:11:44,358 --> 00:11:46,770
"Fulfill the prophecy," right?
88
00:11:46,794 --> 00:11:50,003
Is it a declaration of
war by some cult group?
89
00:11:50,798 --> 00:11:55,770
I asked some geeks I met on
the Wired about it a while ago.
90
00:11:55,970 --> 00:11:58,473
They said it might be the Knights.
91
00:11:58,506 --> 00:12:00,713
Knights? Who's that?
92
00:12:01,309 --> 00:12:04,347
Some kind of super-hacker group.
93
00:12:04,378 --> 00:12:08,224
But I thought hackers don't
usually work together.
94
00:12:08,549 --> 00:12:14,227
True. But maybe this Knights
group really isn't a group at all.
95
00:12:14,489 --> 00:12:20,462
They say they have a lot of power in the
Wired, and that they do a lot in secret.
96
00:12:20,495 --> 00:12:22,873
So they're a secret society.
97
00:12:23,064 --> 00:12:26,671
Geez, do they get their
kicks out of this stuff?
98
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:29,305
I'm not sure why...
99
00:12:29,370 --> 00:12:30,371
Huh?
100
00:12:31,873 --> 00:12:36,379
but something tells me that they're
not in it for fun or for money.
101
00:12:52,794 --> 00:12:57,800
It's reasonable to see the Wired as
an upper layer of the real world.
102
00:12:58,032 --> 00:13:02,105
In other words, physical reality
is nothing but a hologram...
103
00:13:02,136 --> 00:13:05,015
of the information that
flows through the Wired.
104
00:13:06,307 --> 00:13:07,718
Morn?
105
00:13:07,809 --> 00:13:11,621
This is because the body — the activity
of the human brain — is merely...
106
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:18,324
a physical phenomenon caused by
synapses delivering electrical impulses.
107
00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:27,762
The body exists only to
verify one's own existence.
108
00:13:29,931 --> 00:13:33,242
Are you... Are you really my morn?
109
00:13:38,172 --> 00:13:39,446
Are you?
110
00:14:15,810 --> 00:14:17,084
Lain?
111
00:14:18,412 --> 00:14:19,516
Huh?
112
00:14:20,314 --> 00:14:23,693
Didn't I see you at Shibuya?
113
00:14:32,293 --> 00:14:34,773
Forget it. It's nothing.
114
00:15:42,930 --> 00:15:44,739
Thank you!
115
00:15:45,933 --> 00:15:48,641
Hey, don't you think
he's pretty cute?
116
00:15:55,176 --> 00:15:57,315
How did it go with him?
117
00:15:57,345 --> 00:15:59,484
Come on, you can tell us!
118
00:16:34,715 --> 00:16:37,218
W-What? What prophecy?
119
00:17:13,521 --> 00:17:15,159
What's going on?
120
00:17:15,289 --> 00:17:17,997
I usually have dinner with
Morn and Dad about now...
121
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,262
Wha—
122
00:17:24,698 --> 00:17:26,939
What's happening?
123
00:17:39,647 --> 00:17:42,457
I-Is someone there?
124
00:17:50,124 --> 00:17:53,105
Come on, I know you're there.
125
00:18:44,345 --> 00:18:47,451
Are you my real dad?
126
00:18:48,249 --> 00:18:53,722
It may be that what flows through the
Wired isn't merely electrical information.
127
00:18:54,321 --> 00:18:55,595
Huh?
128
00:18:55,890 --> 00:18:59,269
If we assume that it was the
development of electricity and phones...
129
00:18:59,293 --> 00:19:01,330
that brought about the
formation of the Wired,
130
00:19:01,362 --> 00:19:07,574
then I have to wonder if another
world was created at that moment.
131
00:19:08,235 --> 00:19:09,305
Uh...
132
00:19:09,336 --> 00:19:14,285
Here in the real world,
God exists only as a concept.
133
00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:19,382
But in the Wired, there may be
a sort of Deus-like embodiment.
134
00:19:19,914 --> 00:19:21,188
God?
135
00:19:22,483 --> 00:19:26,021
I don't know whether or not
it should be called a god.
136
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,657
But at the very least, I think
it has the same kind...
137
00:19:28,856 --> 00:19:32,269
of power that is
written of in myths.
138
00:19:33,127 --> 00:19:36,973
I think I may have talked with God.
139
00:19:37,498 --> 00:19:41,708
It's possible that the Deus of the
Wired may already have enough power...
140
00:19:41,735 --> 00:19:45,808
to affect the real
world in some instances.
141
00:19:46,106 --> 00:19:49,280
Yes... In the form of prophecy.
142
00:19:52,046 --> 00:19:54,083
Prophecy?
143
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:04,825
What's wrong?
144
00:21:04,952 --> 00:21:08,559
It's nothing. Forget about it.
145
00:22:07,881 --> 00:22:10,487
Who is it today?
146
00:22:28,902 --> 00:22:37,378
I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.
147
00:22:37,644 --> 00:22:42,644
I didn't start this, but I
have to finish it somehow.
148
00:22:57,097 --> 00:23:05,676
I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.
149
00:23:06,106 --> 00:23:12,148
I get the feeling my
freedom cost me dearly,
150
00:23:12,713 --> 00:23:19,426
but I don't remember
selling my soul cheaply.
151
00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:20,798
Hey, hey!
152
00:23:20,821 --> 00:23:27,261
Until I die and say goodbye...
153
00:23:28,562 --> 00:23:29,802
Hey, hey!
154
00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:37,180
no one can catch me.
155
00:23:38,972 --> 00:23:45,014
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws...
156
00:23:45,312 --> 00:23:50,421
who wander the distant night.
157
00:23:51,325 --> 00:24:01,325
