(on PA system) Why the hell we're letting the Elevens go? What about the poison gas they've stolen?
RGRoyal Guard
But it's by order of Prince Clovis.
What about Bartley? Get the general's staff on the line.
RGRoyal Guard
They're not at their post, sir.
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.

Announcing Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, seventeenth heir to the royal Britannian imperial throne!
MNMale Noble
I heard Empress Marianne was killed inside of the Britannia Palace.
MNMale Noble
There's no way terrorists could've gotten in there.
MNMale Noble
Which means that the real assassins must have-
MNMale Noble
Shh!, beware my friend, you'll regret it if anyone hears that kind of talk around the palace.
MNMale Noble
And yet the boy remains, even though his mother is dead, is over.
MNMale Noble
And the Ashford family who stood behind him is finished as well.
FNFemale Noble
And his sister, the princess?
(Nunnally in the hospital)
MNMale Noble
I understand she was shot in the legs and that she lost her sight!
MNMale Noble
Blindness caused by trauma though, isn't it?
MNMale Noble
No difference, now she can't be married off through political gain.

BWBismarck Waldstein
Good Lord!
CCarine
It's really you?!
GGuinevere
You're alive?!
Yes, sister, I am. I've returned from the depths of hell intact.
OOdysseus
Lelouch, how good to see you! When Nunnally was located, I figured that you would be found alive too. But now, aren't you carrying this joke a bit too far? That's the throne of our father...
Charles zi Britannia, the 98th Emperor, no longer lives, and I'm the one who took his life. [Everyone gasps] Therefore, that makes me the next emperor!
CCarine
What are you saying?! Are you nuts?!
GGuinevere
Guards! Take that fool and execute him! He's guilty of murdering our emperor!!!
May I introduce, Suzaku Kururugi, my knight! A knight of the realm above all others! I granted him a title the "Knight of Zero"!
Suzaku?! They're working together?!
OOdysseus
Lelouch, Sir Kururugi. This just won't do, pulling a bad stunt like this on an international broadcast...
Do you think so? Then let me make this easy for you all to understand... [activates his Geass on everyone] Acknowledge me as your emperor!
OOdysseus
Lelouch, I insist that you stop joking around like that... [Everyone is now under the control of his Geass] We hear and obey, Your Majesty!
CGCarine and Guinevere
