Code Geass > 14. Geass vs Geass
The actions one takes are answered by consequences waiting at their conclusion.
There are no exceptions. And even Lelouch's power cannot change this.
Despite his absolute ability to make anyone obey him, there is no escaping the inevitable.
Lelouch has acted to avenge his mother's death, and to create a world where his younger sister Nunnally can find happiness.
Now he is confronted by the results of his acts, consequences he never imagined, and there are more to come.
If these unintended consequences help to create new worlds, who will bear the blame for the sins that are committed...
who will take the punishment, and who will measure it out?

Suzaku: No, wait!
Darlton: Do not pursue! Protecting the viceroy has top priority!
C.C.: Ohgi? Is that you? It's C.C.
Ohgi: Yes. How's Zero doing?
C.C.:
He's OK, but he can't move now.
Order a retreat. If we drag this out, we'll be slaughtered.
He's OK, but he can't move now.

Ohgi: Uh, yes, I understand. Got it.
Diethald: Hmm?
C.C.: Is that what you wanted?
Lelouch: Uh... Yes.
C.C.: This is pathetic.
You're so shook up you can't even issue orders, and Cornelia will...
You're so shook up you can't even issue orders, and Cornelia will...
Lelouch:
Listen to me. My handgun is missing.
Whoever has it now must have taken it from me when I was unconscious.

C.C.:
If that's true... it means they saw your face.

There were at least two of them.
One who fired and one who got shot. Two...

Girl student:
Shirley? What are you doing up so early?
Is that a letter?
Shirley? What are you doing up so early?
Is that a letter?
Shirley: It's a... Oh, it's nothing.
Girl student: I bet it's a love letter, huh? Something special for Lelouch?
Shirley: In a way...
Suzaku: You want to meet Princess Euphemia?
Nina: To thank her. I just wanted to thank her.
Milly:
She risked her life to protect Nina during the hotel jacking.
She stood right up and said "I'm Euphemia!" Right?
She risked her life to protect Nina during the hotel jacking.
She stood right up and said "I'm Euphemia!" Right?
Rivalz: Really? I want to meet her, too!
Milly: Why is that?
Rivalz: She's a real princess! I could marry into royalty!
Nunnally: I'm sure that you will never meet her with such impure motives.
Rivalz:
Impure? That's a little harsh, isn't it, Nunnally?
You're on my side, aren't you, Madam Pre...
Impure? That's a little harsh, isn't it, Nunnally?
You're on my side, aren't you, Madam Pre...
Milly:
Don't kiss up to me just because Lelouch isn't hanging around.
Nunnally saw right through you, and so do I.
Don't kiss up to me just because Lelouch isn't hanging around.
Nunnally saw right through you, and so do I.
Nunnally: Anyway, I'd like to meet Princess Euphemia, too, if I could.
Suzaku: Uh...
Milly: Huh?
Nunnally: Oh, what's the matter, Suzaku?
Suzaku: Uh, It's just she's a member of the royal family and...
RRRRRRR
Suzaku: Hello, Ashford Academy student council.
Huh?
Huh?
Lelouch: Suzaku?
Suzaku: Lelouch?
Lelouch: Is there anything unusual there?
Suzaku: Yeah, there is. You're not here.
Lelouch: Oh, right.
Suzaku:
Shirley didn't show up, either, by the way.
You know, Lelouch, you've been cutting classes lately.
You need to take school more seriously.

Lelouch:
Right, Mr. Honor Student.
Can you give Nunnally a message, tell her I'll be late tonight?
Right, Mr. Honor Student.
Can you give Nunnally a message, tell her I'll be late tonight?
Suzaku:
Did you say tonight? More like every night.
What's the point in going to the same school if I never see you?
Aagh!
Did you say tonight? More like every night.
What's the point in going to the same school if I never see you?
Aagh!
Lelouch: Hm? What's going on?
Suzaku: Er, nothing! Err, hey, Arthur, ow ow!
Lelouch: I wonder what's going on over there.
C.C.: So then it seems like...
Lelouch:
Right. It appears he doesn't know about me.
That eliminates one group, the military.

C.C.: Aside from them and the Black Knights,
I can't think of anyone else who would have been there.
I can't think of anyone else who would have been there.
Lelouch: Someone from the Japan Liberation Front could have survived.
C.C.: And they only stole your gun?
Lelouch: I think I'll have Ohgi check out the black market then.
C.C.: And the blood?
Lelouch:
It'll take time to analyze.
There's something else...
I thought I saw Shirley there.
It'll take time to analyze.
There's something else...
I thought I saw Shirley there.
C.C.: Oh, the girl who kissed you?
Lelouch: Give it a rest, will you?
C.C.:
Just making sure I got the right girl, lover boy.
But if she was there, then there's something we need to know and we better find out fast.

Darlton:
In this last operation and also at Narita, they were specifically targeting you, Your Highness.

Cornelia: Eliminating the leader is a standard tactic.
Guilford: They also eliminated Prince Clovis.
Darlton:
Zero was not merely fighting Britannia.
He has a deep hatred for the royal family, and he wants blood.

Euphemia: Hatred?
Lelouch:
Euphemia, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the commoners.
You haven't changed.
Euphemia, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the commoners.
You haven't changed.
Cornelia: Careful, Euphy.
Euphemia: Huh?
Cornelia: I don't want another crisis like that at the hotel.
Guilford: Why not assign a knight to her?
Euphemia: A knight?
Guilford:
Yes, if we assign one knight as a permanent sentinel, then we can build a complete royal guard unit around him.
As sub viceroy, Princess Euphemia has the right to a personal champion.

Cecile:
This thing about saving people's lives... at first I thought he was just, you know, sensitive, but now, I mean it's more like an obsession, isn't it?

Lloyd:
His performance data is still solid, right?
Is this a good time to put that new thing to a test with him?

Cecile:
But we're still fine-tuning.
What I'm saying is treating Suzaku like he's just another part of the machine could have serious consequences.
We'd better deal with the human issue here first.

Lloyd: Pardon me, but really aren't you taking care of him in place of someone else?
Cecile: I'm not sure about that, but...
Lloyd: Hmmm?
Cecile: You're quick to catch on the something silly, aren't you?
Lloyd: I'm the boss, so you're stuck with me.
Girl Student1: Hey, what are you doing out here by yourself?
Girl Student2: I'm waiting. I need to wait till it finish disinfecting my room.
C.C.:
Why should I have to go rifling through some girl's underwear.
This is going to cost you.
Why should I have to go rifling through some girl's underwear.

Lelouch: It always does.
C.C.:
Hmph, you could do this solo.
And she'd be thrilled to know the man she loves was searching through...

And she'd be thrilled to know the man she loves was searching through...
Lelouch: That's my business.
C.C.:
Once again, making a big deal out of nothing.
Well there's no sign of that gun in here.
And her diary only goes up to the 14th.

Lelouch: 14th?
C.C.: Yeah.
Lelouch: That's the day that her father had died.
Uh... What?
Uh... What?
C.C.: There are a bunch of photos of you.
Lelouch: Of me?
C.C.: How could our suspect be so sweet?
Lelouch: Just can the sarcasm, would you?
Narita?
Narita?
Shirley: Lulu, how could you do this?
Mao: Yes. How could he?
A very fine memorial, isn't that right, Ms. Shirley Fenette?
A very fine memorial, isn't that right, Ms. Shirley Fenette?
Shirley: Who...?
Tamaki: Man, it was so close! We had her right there!
Kallen: Next time, I'll beat that white Knightmare.
Tamaki: Ah, don't sweat it.
Black Knights: Yeah, Tamaki got thrashed in the first minute.
Ohgi: The J.L.F. warship...
Kallen: Hm?
Ohgi: Why did it blow up?
Tamaki: It self-destructed.
Ohgi: We did contact them and say we would help, right?
Kallen: You're not doubting Zero again, are you?
Ohgi: Well, it's just that...
Diethald:
Yes, it's just that the timing was too convenient, right?
So what are you going to do, if you find out Zero was behind it?
Yes, it's just that the timing was too convenient, right?
So what are you going to do, if you find out Zero was behind it?
Kallen: What are you trying to say?!
Tamaki:
Yeah, Diethard! I heard you got wussy and ran away!
A gutless Brit's got a lot of cojones talking trash to his superiors like that!
Yeah, Diethard! I heard you got wussy and ran away!

Diethald:
I was making an assessment, that's my new job here.
Ohgi, you agreed to it, too, didn't you?
I was making an assessment, that's my new job here.
Ohgi, you agreed to it, too, didn't you?
Kallen: Oh, huh?
Ohgi: Ah, that's right. And Zero did approve it.
C.C.: So, do you love her, this girl called Shirley?
Lelouch: Don't know.
C.C.: Do you hate her?
Lelouch: Don't know.
C.C.: Then why are we going to Narita?
Lelouch:
You know the reason why.
'Cos she may have discovered who I am.
You know the reason why.
'Cos she may have discovered who I am.
C.C.:
What if she really does know?
Are you going to kill her?
If you have someone you don't want to lose, you should keep them at a distance.

Lelouch: So is that... from experience?
C.C.: No. It's a way of life.
Mao: He's a cruel man, isn't he? Lelouch.
Shirley: H-How do you know about Lulu?
Mao: Oh, he deceived you. Never told you he's Zero.
Shirley: Who are you? What do you want!?
Mao:
The same mouth that ordered your father's death stole a kiss from your tender lips.
He's a very bad man, and you like it.
Punishment must be measured out. To him. And to you.

Punishment must be measured out. To him. And to you.
Shirley: To me?!
Mao: I know everything. All that happened that night...
When I bring him to Viceroy Cornelia, she'll make me a noble!
Not just a Knight of Honor, real nobility!
And he's still alive, too!
What kind of grand execution will they have in store for him?
Of course you'll be rewarded too...
Stupid of me... He's your boyfriend, isn't he?!
Not just a Knight of Honor, real nobility!
And he's still alive, too!

Of course you'll be rewarded too...
Stupid of me... He's your boyfriend, isn't he?!
Shirley: Lulu!
Mao: So you're a killer, too. Just like Zero.
Shirley: No! That's not true! I just...
Mao: And you actually used your father's death for your own gain!
Shirley: No! I just... I just!!!
Mao: Cunning little woman!
You knew he'd feel sorry for you, didn't you?
So you played it for all it was worth.
You knew he'd feel sorry for you, didn't you?
So you played it for all it was worth.
Shirley: No, you're wrong!
Mao: Did his sympathy make you all tingly?
Shirley: Stop it!
Mao: Play the tragic heroine again?
Shirley: No, I'm not doing that!
Mao: A girl who kills and then goes fishing for attention?
Only evil witches do that.
Only evil witches do that.
Shirley: I didn't... I never meant...
Mao:
You knew there was another girl who liked Lelouch,
and you wanted to get him away from her.
Now you have to pay the price, Shirley.
You knew there was another girl who liked Lelouch,
and you wanted to get him away from her.
Now you have to pay the price, Shirley.
Do you want to carry these feelings around for the rest of your life? All by yourself?
Unless you atone and completely free your heart,
you and Lelouch will both be lost in your sins... forever.
Unless you atone and completely free your heart,
you and Lelouch will both be lost in your sins... forever.
Lelouch: I thought she'd be here.
C.C.: We'll have to split up and look for her.
Lelouch: Do you even know what Shirley looks like?
C.C.: What's with you now?
Lelouch: The chance is so slim. I doubt she's even here.
C.C.: What if she really does know? Are you going to kill her?
Lelouch:
No, wait. There was someone else here.
Where'd they go?
And what were they doing with Shirley?
Calm down. Work from the beginning.
No, wait. There was someone else here.

Pi–Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi
It's Shirley?!
I'm here. Where are you calling from?
I'm here. Where are you calling from?
Mao: Haha, where indeed?
Lelouch:
Who are you?!
You scum! What have you done with Shirley?
Who are you?!
You scum! What have you done with Shirley?
Mao:
Ooh, I like it, the scary face.
The face of a man whose woman was stolen away.
Ooh, I like it, the scary face.
The face of a man whose woman was stolen away.
Lelouch: What the hell did you do with her?!
Mao:
You want to know?
Then you'll have to accept my challenge.
You specialize in this, don't you?
You want to know?
Then you'll have to accept my challenge.

Are you familiar with Balinese art?
I don't have a photo, but I can paint it in Batuan style.
Are you familiar with Balinese art?
I don't have a photo, but I can paint it in Batuan style.
Man:
What, I'm supposed to wait around here while you do that?
I don't think so.
Why don't you go ask the police or the soldiers?
What, I'm supposed to wait around here while you do that?
I don't think so.
Why don't you go ask the police or the soldiers?
C.C.: I'd like to avoid that kind of dull crisis.
Man: Then why don't you climb up on something tall and look around?
C.C.: Very well. Never mind.
Hmm? What's Lelouch up to?
It can't be.... Mao!
Hmm? What's Lelouch up to?
It can't be.... Mao!
Lelouch:
Is he the one?
Or other eyewitness?
I'm sure this chess game is just a ploy.
His real goal is to lure me to an isolated place.

I'm sure this chess game is just a ploy.
His real goal is to lure me to an isolated place.
Mao: You know I've never actually played this game before, don't you?
Lelouch:
Calling on my mobile... was he just being theatrical?
No, he didn't know what I look like.
That means he didn't see me that night. And he didn't have time to find a photo of me.
He hasn't planned this out, he's winging it. Which means...

Mao:
There's an opening you can use?
Shouldn't you be thinking about the game a bit more?
You could lose.

You liar, you have played this game before!

C.C.:
Lelouch, even you...
No, because it's you, you can never beat Mao.
Lelouch, even you...
No, because it's you, you can never beat Mao.
Lelouch: Impossible... He's got me trapped?!
Mao: So, can we just call it my game, hmm?
Lelouch:
How could he predict every move I made?
Who is this guy?!
How could he predict every move I made?
Who is this guy?!
Mao:
Didn't C.C. tell you about me?
Well done! In one lightning moment, you came up with 14 possible identities for me.
And one of them is precisely correct.
Didn't C.C. tell you about me?
Well done! In one lightning moment, you came up with 14 possible identities for me.
And one of them is precisely correct.
Lelouch: He has Geass, too!
Mao:
Let's see now. For your Geass, you have to look directly into someone's eyes.
Oh, I know all the rules for your little gift.
Let's see now. For your Geass, you have to look directly into someone's eyes.
Oh, I know all the rules for your little gift.
Lelouch: You can read minds!
Mao: You could call my Geass mind-reading.
Lelouch:
What the hell did you do to Shirley?!
Tell me! What did you do, kill her?!
What the hell did you do to Shirley?!
Tell me! What did you do, kill her?!
Mao: Of course not!
Lelouch: It's Shirley!
Mao: So now then, let the vital punishment games begin.
Ohgi:
Zero... You weren't yourself yesterday.
Why do I have this feeling?
Are you all right?
Talk to me, hey, come on.
You're alive.
Zero... You weren't yourself yesterday.
Why do I have this feeling?
Are you all right?
Talk to me, hey, come on.
You're alive.
Villetta: So, it's you, Zero...!
Lelouch: Shirley, that gun is...
Shirley: Yes, it's Zero's, your gun, Lulu...
Mao:
Why don't you use your Geass?
I'm pretty sure you haven't used it on her, right?
Of course, if you do, I'll just shoot you myself.
Why don't you use your Geass?
I'm pretty sure you haven't used it on her, right?
Of course, if you do, I'll just shoot you myself.
Lelouch:
Can he read any thoughts, or only those on the surface?
Are there conditions to his Geass, a time lag, time limit?
And what's he after?
If he plans to kill me, then...
Can he read any thoughts, or only those on the surface?
Are there conditions to his Geass, a time lag, time limit?
And what's he after?

Mao:
Keep thinking about it.
That's your strong point, right?
Thoughts spinning round and round and round...
Keep thinking about it.
That's your strong point, right?
Thoughts spinning round and round and round...
Lelouch: Shut up!
Mao: This is a fitting death, poetic justice for a thief like you.
Shirley:
Lulu... die.
We'll atone for our sins...
We have to! I'll die with you.
Lulu... die.
We'll atone for our sins...
We have to! I'll die with you.
Lelouch: What?
Mao:
She's already killed one time.
She shot the person who saw your face, all to protect your little secret.
She's already killed one time.
She shot the person who saw your face, all to protect your little secret.
Lelouch: Then, that blood was...
Shirley: It's time to end this together, Lulu.
Mao: Yes, yes. Sinners must be punished.
Lelouch:
You put her up to all of this!
I see. He reads mind and it's easy for him to confuse and control her!
You put her up to all of this!
I see. He reads mind and it's easy for him to confuse and control her!
Mao: Yes, that's right.
Lelouch:
No, don't let him trick you!
Shirley, he's just...
No, don't let him trick you!
Shirley, he's just...
Mao:
Come now, are you actually saying this?
The guy who lied to her from the start?
Come now, are you actually saying this?
The guy who lied to her from the start?
Shirley: No, stop it!
Lelouch: If murder is a sin, then this absolutely increases the sin!
Mao: Oh, I like the rhetoric, very pithy.
Lelouch:
Shirley, did you really kill somebody?
And if you did kill, was he the one who was controlling you?
Shirley, did you really kill somebody?
And if you did kill, was he the one who was controlling you?
Mao:
Shirley pulled the trigger and she knows it.
When you hide away your sins, it only gets worse.
Shirley pulled the trigger and she knows it.
When you hide away your sins, it only gets worse.
Lelouch: He's trying to confuse you, Shirley!
Shirley: Why don't you shut up?!
Mao:
What are you hesitating for?
He's the one who killed your father.
Don't you know he's a sinner? Kill him now.
What are you hesitating for?
He's the one who killed your father.
Don't you know he's a sinner? Kill him now.
Shirley: But...
Lelouch: Shirley...
Shirley: I just... I don't...
Mao:
What the heck's up with this girl?
Her thoughts are just a jumble now.
I'll just have to do it--
What the heck's up with this girl?
Her thoughts are just a jumble now.
I'll just have to do it--
Shirley: Stop it! Just stop it!
Mao:
Fine. Consider it stopped.
You two just do whatever as you want.
Fine. Consider it stopped.
You two just do whatever as you want.
Shirley: Huh...
Lelouch: Shirley!
Mao:
What a pain. It was so dramatic and juicy.
Now I'll have to kill them in the old boring way.
Who did that?
Why didn't I sense them there?
It couldn't be!
C.C.!
What a pain. It was so dramatic and juicy.
Now I'll have to kill them in the old boring way.

We finally meet again.
It's you! It's really you!

Are you awake, Mao?
Forgive me, Mao.
That's the way. See, Mao? You can do it!
Thank you, Mao.
Are you awake, Mao?
Forgive me, Mao.
That's the way. See, Mao? You can do it!

You look beautiful, C.C.! I love that new look!

I promise! I promise!

Lelouch: It's all right now. It's over.
Shirley: Lulu, I really did kill someone...
That's why I'm...
That's why I'm...
Lelouch: It's because of me. It's not your fault.
Shirley: And I shot you with your gun...
Lelouch: I'm still alive.
Shirley: But! I did it!
Lelouch: Shirley, any sin you committed is mine to bear.
Shirley: I wanted you to be kind to me.
Lelouch: What's wrong with that?
Shirley: Even though my father died....
Lelouch: Don't worry. It's time to forget all the bad things that have happened to you.
Shirley: But I can't!
Lelouch: Yes, you can! I'll help you forget all of this.
Shirley: Impossible.
Lelouch:
Shirley, I'm sorry about your father.
If I could be reborn into a new life, I would...
Shirley, I'm sorry about your father.
If I could be reborn into a new life, I would...
Shirley: Lulu... No, don't!
Shirley: Oh, hello.
Um, did you lose someone in your family, too?

Lelouch:
No, not someone from my family.
It was a friend, someone, well, very important.
No, not someone from my family.
It was a friend, someone, well, very important.
Shirley: I understand.
Lelouch:
But I didn't know.
I didn't know until after I lost her.
Then I realized how much she meant to me...
How her smile saved me.
And how I'll never be able to argue or laugh with her like that again.

Shirley: I see.
You loved her, didn't you?
You must feel terrible.
You loved her, didn't you?
You must feel terrible.
Lelouch: Right now... I don't know anymore.
Shirley: Well, the morning always comes again.
So I need to harden my heart even more. Then it's me and Mao... payback.
So I need to harden my heart even more. Then it's me and Mao... payback.
