[Jeremiah has hit the Gawain twice and is readying the Siegfried for the finishing blow]
Jeremiah
It's time for my wonderful vindication!
[Lelouch fires the Gawains hadron cannons at the ocean surface, generating a massive plume of water]
Jeremiah
Insidious isolation impudence!
JGJeremiah Gottwald
(on PA system) Why the hell we're letting the Elevens go? What about the poison gas they've stolen?
But it's by order of Prince Clovis.
Jeremiah
What about Bartley? Get the general's staff on the line.
They're not at their post, sir.
Jeremiah
Are you telling me Prince Clovis is alone on the con?
CClovis
I'm overjoyed, Lelouch! They say you died once Japan was brought into the fold. What a blessing to have you back, we should depart for the homeland immediately.
So you can use me as a tool of diplomacy? It seems you forgotten why we were used as tools in the first place.
That's right. It was because my mother was killed.
Mother held the title of Knight of Honor, but was a commoner by birth. No doubt the other imperial consorts held her in contempt. Even though you made it look like the work of terrorists, I'm no fool! You people killed my mother!
CClovis
It wasn't me! I swear to you, it wasn't!
Then tell me everything you know. The truth cannot be hidden from me any longer. By whose hands was she slain?
CClovis
My brother, Second Prince Schneizel, and Second Princess Cornelia. They can tell you.
They were at the heart of this? That's all that you know, isn't it?
CClovis
(scarily) I swear, it wasn't me! I have... nothing to do with it!
(puts down his gun) I believe you. However...
CClovis
Please, you can't! We may have different mothers, but you and I are still blood!
You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty.
[Jeremiah Gottwald's Sutherland has been cornerned by Kewell Soresi and three other Loyalist pilots in their own Sutherlands]
Jeremiah
Damn! It's four against one! Coward!
Don't worry, Jeremiah. We'll say you died in battle. Your family's name won't be disgraced.
Jeremiah
You're serious, then?! You actually intend to kill me?! Kewell!
Silence, Orange! We serve the Imperial Family! Why else would we be here?!
[Kewell and the other Loyalists all charge towards Jeremiah with their lances]
KLKewell and the Loyalist pilots
[in unison] ALL…HAIL…BRITANNIA!!!
EEuphie
Everyone lower your weapons at once! In my name, I command you!
EEuphie
I am Euphemia li Britannia of the Empire, and the Third Princess of the Royal Family!
ELEuphemia li Britannia
I'm assuming command here, now fall back!
Jeremiah
It is her, it's the princess.
Didn't you know it was her, Lloyd?
Uh-huh, but she's been a student up until now, and doesn't need a public debut yet.
We... We're truly...! We're truly sorry, Your Highness!
Milady! I had no idea who you were. Please forgive me, Princess!
Suzaku, you and I bear similar deep pain. You have lost your father as I have lost my brother.
Will you let me help you in your quest ensure that no one ever again has to suffer the lost of a loved one on the battlefield?
Yes, I'm... I'm not worthy of your kindness!
[a gravely wounded Jeremiah limps in front of a Britannian army cargo truck]
BSBritannian scientist #1
Ugh, another soldier!
BSBritannian scientist #2
No wonder our battalions fell apart.
Jeremiah
I swear I'm not Orange! ZERO!!!
[Jeremiah collapses]
Jeremiah
That machine was made so that I could prove my loyalty.
Jeremiah, I thought that you had a personal grudge against Zero.
Jeremiah
I did because I thought he was a mere commoner preventing me from serving the royal family, but now I know who he is, and I know that by serving him, I am serving MY LADY MARIANNE!
[Jeremiah in the Sutherland Sieg attacks Suzaku's Lancelot Conquista, much to Suzaku's surprise.]
Jeremiah
Suzaku Kururugi, I owe you a debt. I sympathize with you. I respect you. But in this situation… loyalty trumps all!
[Suzaku attempts to disengage from the Sutherland Sieg]
Jeremiah
Take this! [fires a rocket barrage at the Lancelot Conquista] The storm of my LOYALTY!
[Gino Weinberg joins the fray above Tokyo, just in time to save Suzaku from Jeremiah]
No one can defeat a Knight of the Round. No one!
[Gino manages to score a hit on the Sutherland Sieg, freeing Suzaku in the process]
Can't you look a bit happier when someone saves your life? [beat] Lord Jeremiah! So, what they said about Orange was true, huh?
Jeremiah
Orange, you say? [chuckles] That is the name of my loyalty!
Jeremiah
Why, you impudent...!
Memorize recording complete.
Jeremiah
Not quite!
[Jeremiah has sacrificed his Sutherland Sieg to defeat Anya's Mordred]
Jeremiah
Fire!
[Jeremiah then self-destructs his Sutherland to damage the Mordred]
Jeremiah
Memorize THIS! Memorize Jeremiah Gottwald! Commit it to memory, because that is the memorable name of the man who has defeated you!
Memory? What memory? I remember nothing. I have no memory.
Jeremiah
[thinking] No memories? Could it be...? (revealing his Geass Canceler)
Attention, entire world! Hear my proclamation! I am Lelouch vi Britannia, Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire and your only ruler! Schneizel has surrendered to me. As a result of this, I am in control of both the Damocles and the F.L.E.I.J.A. weapons, and not even the Black Knights have the strength to oppose me now. If anyone dares to resist my supreme authority, they shall know the devastating powers of the F.L.E.I.J.A.s! Those who could challenge my military eule no longer exist. Yes, from this day, from this moment forward, the world belongs to me! Lelouch vi Britannia commands you: Obey me, subjects! Obey me, world!
Jeremiah
All hail Lelouch!
AAll
All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch!
[Lelouch arrives where Princess Cornelia is badly injured]
So, you were Zero... The entire time. Darlton was right, he said it was someone with a grudge against the Britannian Imperial Family. You... You did this.. For Nunnally?
Correct. I will demolish the present world and build a new and better one in its place.
You killed them all for the sake of that madness?! Clovis?! Even Euphie?!
You're one to talk, my dear sister. Considering how you idolized my mother, Marianne the Flash.
It would seem that talking with you further... would approve to be utterly pointless.
Indeed? Well then, Lelouch vi Britannia orders you to answer him.
[Lelouch used his Geass on Cornelia]
Sister, are you the one who killed my mother?
But you were put in charge of her personal guard, were you not?
Then why did you withdraw her escort?
Mother did... That's impossible! My mother knew she will be attacked that day?! No, that can't! She did. She would've got us out of there! What really happened back then?! Who killed her?! Who killed my mother, damn it?!
[Cornelia doesn't answer]
You don't know the truth?! Then who does?! Someone must know, you yourself investigated of what occurred that day!
I remembered His Majesty, the emperor, ordered Schneizel to transport the body out of there.
The body? You mean there are others? Then what was in that coffin?
I know, the Government Bureau Defense Forces will be here soon.
No! Your little sister's been kidnapped!
Hmm? C.C., this is not the time for jokes. We'll take Cornelia back to the command center as our hostage.
She's been taken! I just know because she's the reason you live! She's on Kamine Island!
[Lelouch is preparing to take Cornelia prisoner and leave with C.C. when Jeremiah barges in with the Siegfried]
Jeremiah
ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!! Mister Zero, can it really be?! What?! Oh, what luck, what fate, what evil fortune!
Is that you, Orange Boy?!
Jeremiah
[stammers] Oh, I beseech you! I'm begging you, please die.
Jeremiah
Zero! I…must rid the world of the Empire's enemies! Yes, and so…ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!!
