(Inside the Britannian throne room)
He brought me before the Britannian emperor.
The former seventeenth heir to the imperial throne, Lelouch vi Britannia. It been a long time, hasn't it, my errant son?
[to Lelouch] You won't use your Geass. [to the emperor] Your Majesty, I have a request. Please, sire, allow me to join the Knights of the Round, the twelve strongest knights of the Britannian Empire.
As a reward for capturing Zero, is that it?
I told you before, Lelouch, that I was going to change this world from the inside.
Even if it means selling out your friends?!
Very well, I like the answer you just gave him.
(Charles rising from the throne)
Now, then. As a Knight of the Round, I order you: Cover up Zero's left eye.
(Suzaku lifts up Lelouch's head and covers his left eye)
My unworthy son, who raised the banner of rebellion, although he was a prince. Still, there's another way we can make use of him.
(Charles' Geass activates as two Geass sigils light up in both of his eyes)
I will rewrite your memory, about being Zero, about the death of your mother, about the very existence of Nunnally.
You'll remember none of it, you'll just be insignificant.
No, stop! You're stealing of what's most precious to me again! First my mother and now you're taking Nunnally!
Charles zi Britannia engraves into you...
...false memories of a false life!
(Lelouch screams as his father's Geass enter his mind and alter his memories)
[Kallen has just found out that Lelouch has swapped places with C.C. so he can escape back to Ashford Academy]
When did you two switch places?
His voice was re-recorded. The moment "he" appeared, it was already me, just like in a magic show.
[angry] You planned it on your own. We don't like it when you keep secrets from us.
"We" don't like it? You mean, you don't like it, do you?
[Kallen has just come back from the showers and is barging in on a meeting between C.C., Gao Hai, and Xingke]
C.C.! I was just thinking, wouldn't it have made more sense for you to have played the bunny girl?!
[Kallen realizes just what she's gotten herself into, then starts shrieking hysterically before running behind an opaque glass divider]
[ducks out from behind the divider] I'M NOT ZERO!
Oh, you let on too soon. You have no sense of humor, do you?
Don't play around with Zero!
[as Kallen's towel starts slipping] We can see you.
[Kallen shrieks again as she puts her towel back on and ducks behind the divider once more]
GGuilford
Zero, can you hear me?! Listen closely, I am Lord Gilbert G.P. Guilford, Knight of Her Royal Highness, Cornelia li Britannia! Beginning tomorrow at 1500 hours, these 256 special Class-A felons, who are guilty of treason against the Empire, will all be executed for their crimes! Zero, if you value the lives of your people, then you will face me one on one in a honorable duel!
[Rolo reflects on how many people he's murdered over the years]
[thinking] That's right. I can't remember how many people I've killed. Nobody counts the number of times they brush their teeth or eat a meal. Same with this. My Geass is suited to assassination. That's what I was told. So, I kill. There was no other place for me.
[two Office of Secret Intelligence officers are complaining to Viletta about Rolo's conduct]
O1OSI officer #1
Unacceptable! Did this kid kill Bruno in cold blood or not?!
O2OSI officer #2
And he was the fifth one!
O1OSI officer #1
All Victor did was touch the kid's locket, and the next thing--
Victor had his own personality problems.
O1OSI officer #1
[slams his fist on the table] You don't kill a man because of that!
O2OSI officer #2
Now that there's this guy claiming to be Zero, we have to get our priorities straight and pull the team together.
O1OSI officer #1
That's exactly right, and I'm not teaming up with a freaking angel of death.
[Rolo has been overhearing the conversation the entire time]
[thinking] Team? The mission is what's important, isn't it? Who cares about the team?
[Li Xingke is questioning Gao Hai about his dealings with Zero]
Why did you recognize the USJ on your own without confirmation from the Vermillion Forbidden City? Even if you are one of the High Eunuchs, that was unforgivable. Just what are you planning to use Zero for?
I've no intention to use Zero for anything! Zero must be pleased in every way!
And the empress's feelings on this?
[increasingly petulant] That little wench doesn't matter! The absolute law is that Zero shall bring happiness to me!
[Xingke rips Gao Hai's throat out with a knife on a string]
The Crimson Dynasty is dead.
[Lelouch and Guilford are about to start their Knightmare Frame duel while C.C. and Xingke observe from the Chinese Federation consulate]
I have a question for you, Lord Guilford. What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?
In either case, evil remains.
A paradox. Is it merely wordplay?
GGuilford
In the name of Cornelia, I choose justice! [charges at Lelouch's Burai with his Gloucester]
I understand. In my case, I commit evil to destroy the greater evil!
[Kallen engages one of the Glaston Knights, Alfred Darlton, in the confusion surrounding the upheaval of the Britannian forces onto the Chinese Federation consulate grounds]
Britannia, you're on notice! This is Japanese territory now!
AAlfred
There is no Japan!
Oh, really?! That's why I hate Britannians!
[Kallen charges towards Alfred and successfully parries his lance strike, seemingly leaving herself open for a point-blank rocket barrage from his Gloucester]
AAlfred
Goodbye, Eleven ace!
[Alfred fires his rocket pods at point-blank range, only to have the attack blunted by the Guren Mk-II's Radiant Wave Surger]
AAlfred
It's blocked at this close range?!
[Kallen clamps onto Alfred's Gloucesters head with the Radiant Wave Surger]
This is the Radiant Wave Surger! The moment you came in close, my victory was assured! So long.
[Kallen activates the Radiant Wave Surger and fries Alfred and his Gloucester]
[closes the bucket] Y-yeah.
Aren't you just talking with somebody just now?
No, it's just you and me right now.
[blushes] That's right... It's just Lulu and me... This may be my chance! Lulu, Do you want to... Eh?
I-I'm sorry, Shirley... It's difficult to hear you from here! [to Kallen] What are you doing here?!
I'm here to drag that pizza girl out!
She's in that big case of tomatoes. Carry the whole bucket and get it out from... WOAH!
[to the mascot] Who are you?! How dare you drag Lulu like that! Show yourself! [tries to pull the mascot's head away]
If I did, my identity will be revealed!
[recovering from his fall] What a disgrace...
No, I don't think I have...
Cats and tomatoes don't mix!
[piloting the Ganymede] That's right, Suzaku! I'll be making the biggest pizza in the world myself! See you! [Gino zooms away with the tomato bucket]
No, wait!! [runs after the Ganymede and Kallen and Shirley follows]
Now, it's shake time! [shakes the bucket, drowning C.C.]
Oh, man, I think I'm going to rebuild the festival again.
[stops and pants] This wasn't my kind of outfit...
[runs happily and overtakes Lelouch] Fire away!
