FADE IN
EXT. TOKYO-3 LAKE - DAY

Shinji stands silently before the lake created by the
explosion of EVA-00, triggered by Rei in episode number 23,
which also destroyed Tokyo-3.
The splash created by the falling electrical part is

identical to the splash made by Kaworu's head at the end of
Death.
CUT TO
INT. HOSPITAL - 1ST CRANIAL NERVE DEPARTMENT - DAY
Shinji in Asuka's hospital room (No. 303), Asuka is lying in

SHINJI
I... I'm scared of both Misato and
Ayanami... Help me... Help me,
Asuka. Hey... Wake up! Come on...
Wake up! Come on... Hey... Asuka...
Asuka... ASUKA!! Help me... Help
me... Help me... Help me... Help
me! Call me an idiot like always!
HEY!!
Shinji shakes Asuka roughly so that she rolls onto her back.
Her hospital gown opens to reveal her naked except for her
underwear.
Shinji locks the door to the sickroom and his breathing

gradually becomes faster and heavier ending with a muffled
grunt (off screen).
2.
He stares down at the ejaculated fluids covering his right

hand.
SHINJI (CONT'D)
I... I'm scum... (Lit I'm the
lowest...)

CUT TO:
INT. NERV COMMAND CENTER
Makoto, Shigeru and Maya talk as they sit in the dark and
drink coffee.
MAYA (O.S.)
What!? A total ban on access to and
from Headquarters!?
MAKOTO (O.S.)
I guess we're still at Level-1
Alert...
MAYA (O.S.)
Why? Wasn't Kaworu the last angel?
(Literally "that boy")
SHIGERU
That's right. All the angels have
been destroyed.
MAKOTO
Isn't there supposed to be peace
now?
MAYA
Then, what'll happen to NERV? and
the Evas? I wish Dr. Akagi (Senpai)
was here...
SHIGERU
NERV will probably be disbanded,
and who knows what'll happen to us.
MAKOTO (O.S.)
We'll just have to stick it out
until the Instrumentality Project
starts.

3)
MISATO
(to herself)
Having reached its limit as a
colony of flawed and separate
entities, Humankind is to be
artificially evolved into a perfect
single being. The Instrumentality
Project... An ideal world... And to
achieve this the Committee plans to
use not Adam or NERV, but Eva. Just
like Kaji predicted.
CUT TO:
INT. SEELE'S MONOLITH HEADQUARTERS

Gendo and Fuyutsuki.
SEELE 01 (KEEL)
The promised time has come. With
the Lance of Longinus now lost,
complementation using Lilith is
impossible. Our only hope is to
proceed with EVA-01, Lilith's sole
clone.
GENDO
While different from SEELE's
scenario...
FUYUTSUKI
(ambiguous)
Humans have existed to create Eva.
GENDO
Humans should evolve into a new
world. That is the purpose of the
Eva series.
SEELE 09
We have no intention of giving up
our human forms simply to enter the
Ark called Eva.
SEELE 12
It is merely a rite of passage...
To bring about the rebirth in those
who are imprisoned.
4.
SEELE 05(?)
The fate of destruction is also the
joy of rebirth.
SEELE 04(?)
A sacrament to unite God, humans,
and all other life forms in death.
GENDO
Death gives birth to nothing.
SEELE 01 (KEEL)
Then death is what you shall have.
SEELE monoliths disappear.
FUYUTSUKI
Humans exist because they have the
will to live... And that is the
reason she remained within Eva.
CUT TO:
INT. REI'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Rei lying in bed in her apartment. She wakes up (looking

surprisingly like Yui), looks out the window to see the full

lie twisted and broken on the floor behind her.

not it! It's starting!
CUT TO:

NERV OPERATOR (MALE)

(background)
No. 6 net - audio communications
severed! Goura ground circuit,
inoperative!
FUYUTSUKI
(to phone)
Switch the left side over to blue
emergency communications! Open a
satellite uplink if you have to!
That's right! What's the situation
on the right?
PERSON ON PHONE
Negative! All outgoing network and
data lines are being cut off!!
FUYUTSUKI
Are they after MAGI?
SHIGERU (O.S.)
Data entry from all external nodes.
SHIGERU (CONT'D)
They're hacking the MAGI system!
FUYUTSUKI
Just as I thought. Is it coming
from MAGI-2 in Matsushiro?
SHIGERU
No, it's at least 5 MAGI type
units. Hacking verified from
Germany, China, the U.S....
6.
FUYUTSUKI
SEELE is mustering all of their
forces. 5 to 1 odds... Not good.
SHIGERU (O.S.)
No. 4 firewall breached!
MAKOTO
Locking the main database...
Negative! We can't stop their
invasion!
MAYA (O.S.)
It's entering a deeper level!
MAYA (CONT'D)
Even the back-up circuit can't stop
it!
FUYUTSUKI
(thinking)
This is bad... Capture the MAGI
system and you capture everything.

government of Japan.

MISATO
How much longer?
NERV OPERATOR (FEMALE)

No. 3 cable, Hakone back-up circuit

MAKOTO (O.S.)
We should just make it. Dr. Akagi
is amazing, one more minute to the
end of page 120... And only two-
and-a-half more minutes until
deployment of a primary firewall.
MISATO
(thinking)
Just hacking MAGI? They're not
going to let us off that easy...
probably.
9.
FUYUTSUKI
MAGI is only the first skirmish.
The bastards' objective is the
direct take-over of headquarters
and the two remaining Eva units.
GENDO
Yes. With not only Lilith, but even
Adam in our hands....
FUYUTSUKI
No wonder the old men are so
worried.
MAGI displays turn green.
MAYA
Hacking against MAGI has been
stopped.
MAYA (O.S.) (CONT'D)
A Danang Type-B defense screen has
been deployed. External access is
impossible for the next 62 hours.
Ritsuko emerges from MAGI.
RITSUKO
See you in a bit, mother.
CUT TO:

SEELE 06
Ikari has executed a Type-666
protection program on the MAGI
system. It won't be easy to breach.
SEELE 07
It appears that we will have to
forego acquisition of MAGI.
SEELE 01
I had hoped to solve this
peacefully, but they leave me no
choice. Take over the entire
headquarters directly, at once!!

EVA-01, quickly!
MAKOTO
Affirmative!
MISATO
Where's Asuka?
12.
SHIGERU
In sickroom 303.
SHOT OF ASUKA LYING IN BED.
MISATO (O.S.)
Put her into EVA-02 anyway.
MAYA
But her synchronization with Eva
hasn't recovered yet.
MISATO
Yes, but she'll surely be killed if
she stays there. The best place to
hide her is inside EVA-02.
MAYA
Affirmative!
(to headset)
Stop medication to pilot. Prepare
for launch!
MISATO
As soon as Asuka is inside EVA-02,
hide it in the underground lake.
It'll be found almost immediately,
but it's better than leaving it in
the cage. Where's Rei?
SHIGERU
Whereabouts unknown... Unable to
confirm her location!
MISATO
She'll be killed. Find her,
quickly!

you can't fall back to the Dogma,
it's better to surrender.
MISATO (CONT'D)
(whispered to Makoto)
Sorry, take care of things here.
MAKOTO
Sure.

expected.
SUB COMMANDER
We never get the easy jobs.
CUT TO:

Makoto and Shigeru take out and ready small arms.
MAKOTO
This is bad... We were never
equipped with full-scale anti-
personnel defense systems.
SHIGERU
Yeah. Only counter-terrorist
measures at best.
MAKOTO
If the JSSDF mounts a serious
attack, we don't stand a chance.
SHIGERU
Come to think of it, the reductions
in funding for anti-personnel
defense measures probably had this
in mind from the beginning.
MAKOTO
That's entirely possible...
Explosion in Command Center.
Attacking forces move in.
BACKGROUND
No. 2 Command Center - Invaders on

Of course you can! Just pretend
this is training!
MAYA

then!

die!

Shinji says nothing.
MISATO (CONT'D)
-If we stay here we'll die for
nothing!
SHINJI
(whispering)
Help me, Asuka... Help me...
MISATO
(exasperated)
Hiding behind a girl at a time like
this!? Running from reality...
Lying to yourself!? Doing things
half-assed is the worst thing you
can do! So, stand up! Stand up!!
SHINJI
(whispering)
No... Let me die. I don't want to
do anything.

MAKOTO
Everything else has been

blow up the Command Center, too?
SHIGERU
I'm sure they'd like to take us out
in a single blow, but the original
MAGI system is right below us.
MAKOTO
They want the MAGI system intact,
huh?
SHIGERU
But we're defenseless against BC
weaponry. If they use those, we're
in trouble.
MAKOTO
N2 weapons, too...
As if by coincidence, an N2 warhead drops, opening up the
Geofront.
SHIGERU
Speak of the devil!
MAKOTO

Initiating Third Impact to

Humans must be the only creatures
able to despise their own kind.
PRIME MINISTER
All that's left is to take care of

Th... That should hold them off...
for a while. I'm okay... It's not
as serious... as it looks.
Misato staggers to feet and opens gate.
MISATO (CONT'D)
There's still power - We can make
it.
Misato pins Shinji against gate.
MISATO (CONT'D)
-Shinji... from here out you're on
your own.
(MORE)
28.
MISATO (CONT'D)
You have to make the decisions by
yourself - without anyone's help.
SHINJI
I... I can't do it. I just can't...
I can't pilot Eva if it means I'm
going to hurt or even kill other
people. I have no right to do that.
I thought that piloting Eva was my
only choice... But I was just
fooling myself. I don't understand
anything - I'm not worthy to pilot
Eva. There's nothing that I can do
for other people! I've done
terrible things to Asuka, and even
killed Kaworu... There isn't a
shred of kindness in me! Only
dishonesty and cowardice. If I can
only hurt people, then I'd rather
not do anything at all!
MISATO
(angrily)
I'm not going to feel sorry for
you. If you don't want to be hurt,
then just die without doing
anything at all!
Shinji starts crying.
SHINJI
-Crying won't help you now!
Misato's tone becomes gentler.
MISATO
-You hate yourself, right? That's
why you hurt other people...
Because you know that hurting other
people is more painful than hurting
yourself. But, no matter what
happens, remember that it was your
decision. And that makes it
worthwhile, Shinji - Because you
decided by yourself! So stop lying
to yourself... Think about what you
can do... And then live with your
decisions.
SHINJI
But you're... you're not me! You
don't understand anything about
ME!!
29.
Misato slams Shinji against the gate.

MISATO
(harshly)
So what if I'm not you!? Are you
just going to give up now!? If you
stay here and do nothing, I won't
forgive you! I'll NEVER forgive you
as long as I live!!
Misato's tone changes to desperation.
???
-Nobody's perfect. You realize that
you've made a mistake, and then
regret it... That's all I've ever
known. Nothing but empty happiness
and hating myself. But... I feel
like I always grew from the
experience!
MISATO
(gently)
Listen, Shinji. Pilot Eva once more
and find yourself. Pilot Eva to
face the questions "Why did you
come here?" "Why are you here?"
Find your own answers. And then...
after finding yourself... come back
to me.
Misato places her cross in Shinji's hand.
MISATO (CONT'D)
It's a promise. Now, go.
Misato kisses Shinji deeply.
MISATO (CONT'D)
(sultry voice)
That's a grownup kiss. We'll do the
rest when you get back...
Misato pushes the stunned Shinji into the elevator and then
collapses.
MISATO (WEAKLY) (CONT'D)
If I knew it would end this way...
I would've done like Asuka said...
And changed the carpet... Right,
Pen-pen? Kaji... did I do all
right?
30.
A ghostly Rei stands above Misato, then an explosion ->

Shinji crying in elevator. Looking at Misato's blood
spattered cross and tasting her blood in his mouth, Shinji
slides into the corner, sobbing.

SHINJI
(disgusted = thinking)
This is Misato? She does... this?
MISATO
Yes, this is also me... The melting
into one another's hearts... The me
that Shinji doesn't know. Reality

have to accept it.

ASUKA/MISATO/REI
We are nice to you.
Their images shatter.
SHINJI
LIARS!! You're all just hiding
behind a smile! You just want to
keep things ambiguous!
REI
Because the truth hurts us all...
Because it's very, very
distressing.
SHINJI
But ambiguity only makes me
insecure.
REI
That's just an excuse...
SHINJI
But it makes me afraid... Afraid
that I won't be needed again
someday. It makes me uneasy! It
worries me! Let me hear your voice!

Liar...

Shinji cringes.
ASUKA (CONT'D)

ASUKA (CONT'D)
You're afraid of Misato and the
First... and of your mother and
father, too!
SHINJI
Asuka...
ASUKA
You're only using me as an escape -
because that's the easiest way not
to get hurt!
SHINJI
Asuka, help me!
ASUKA
Because that's the easiest way not
to get hurt!
SHINJI
(desperately)
Please, help me!
ASUKA

You've never really liked anyone!
Asuka shoves Shinji, who crumples to the floor, taking the

SHINJI
Betrayed! You've betrayed my

REI
You've misunderstood from the

SHINJI
Nobody wants me. So, everybody just
die.
REI
Then, what are those hands for?
SHINJI
Nobody cares whether I exist or
not... Nothing will change. So,
everybody just die.
REI
Then, what is that heart for?
SHINJI
It'd be better if I wasn't here
either. So I should just die, too.

better that I do nothing.
YUI
So, you were afraid of Shinji.
GENDO
I don't believe that I can be loved
by others... I'm not worthy of
love.
KAWORU
You're just running away. You

You just closed your heart to
others.
GENDO
So, this is my retribution. Forgive
me... Shinji.
Demon-like EVA-01 bites Gendo in half... Rei II picks up
Gendo's fallen glasses. The three clones of Rei stand
together.
Eva series impale their cores on the Lance replicas with
gasps of ecstasy.
Countless crosses spring up as a red wave speeds across the
earth's surface.
Souls flow from the Earth to the Black Moon and then into
Lilith-Rei's hands.
An eye appears in Lilith-Rei's forehead into which the EVA-
01/Lance cross plunges itself and disappears.

RANDOM VOICES (ASUKA, MISATO, ETC.)
I hate you. I wouldn't be caught
dead with you! Don't get me
wrong... Do you really think I
could ever like you? You have
nothing to do with my life anymore.
Get away from me! ... and don't
call me anymore! Stubborn
bastard... Don't follow me around
anymore. Your type makes me sick!
I'm sorry... (laughter) We're
nothing more than friends. Annoying
bastard... Why don't you learn to
give up? There's no way I'd ever go
back to you. I HATE YOU! Go away!
(laughter) It'd be better if you'd
never been born. Dammit, get away
from me! I hate you! You're a pain
in the ass! (laughter)
(Translator's Note The script printed in the Newtype
filmbook differs slightly from the spoken lines as follows
RANDOM VOICES (CONT'D)
I hate you. I could never like you.
Goodbye, and don't call me anymore!
Stubborn bastard... I have no
intention of going back to you. I'm
sorry, but there's no way we could
ever make up now. Idiot - I was
only faking it (orgasm). Did you
really think that? Honestly, take a
good look at who/what you are.
We're nothing more than friends.
It'd be better if you'd never been
born! Bye-bye - and while you at it
why don't you just go and die? I
wish you weren't here. Who is this
child? I don't know this child. It
makes no difference whether you are
here or not. To put it bluntly,
you're a nuisance, and meddlesome
to boot.

RANDOM VOICES (CONT'D)
Don't follow me around anymore.
It's no good, let's break up. To be
honest, you don't just make me
uncomfortable -- I hate your type
the worst of all. Don't get me
wrong... who would ever be with
you. Go away! You have nothing to
do with my life anymore. I HATE
YOU! I don't need you!)
ASUKA (V.O.)
Wimp...
Shinji, lying on his back.
MISATO
(over Shinji)
If it's that painful, you can stop.
REI
(over Shinji)
If you really don't like it, you
can run away.
WOMEN'S VOICES (MISATO, REI, ASUKA)
Do you want to be at ease? To feel
at peace? Do you want to become one
with me? To have our bodies and
souls... become one.
ASUKA (V.O.)
But, if I have to be with you, I'd
rather die!

What are dreams?

Dreams?
REI
Yes, dreams.
Packed theater.

SHINJI (VOICE)
I don't understand... I don't
really understand reality.
REI (VOICE)
So, you can't understand the gap

SHINJI (VOICE)
I don't know where to find
happiness.
REI (VOICE)
So, you can only find happiness in
your dreams.
Crowded street.

SHINJI (V.O.)
Then, this isn't reality... this
world where no one exists.
REI (V.O.)
Yes, it's a dream.
SHINJI (V.O.)
So, I'm not here either.
REI (V.O.)
You were trying to remake reality
with convenient fantasies.
SHINJI (V.O.)
Is that wrong?
59.
REI (V.O.)
You were using fabrications to
escape from reality.
SHINJI (V.O.)
Can't I dream alone?
REI (V.O.)
That would not be a dream. It would
just be compensating for reality.

INT. LILITH-REI
Blood/LCL gushes from Lilith-Rei's neck as she leans
backwards.
Shinji and Rei merged together in the sea of LCL.
SHINJI
Ayanami... where are we?
REI
This is the sea of LCL... The
primordial soup of life. A world
without AT Fields... without your
own shape. An ambiguous world where
it is impossible to tell where you
end and other people start.
(MORE)
60.
REI (CONT'D)
A fragile world where you exist
every5where, and thus exist
nowhere.
SHINJI
Have I died?
REI
No, everything has just been joined
into one. This is the world you
have been hoping for... your world.
SHINIJI is releasing Misato's cross from his left hand.
SHINJI
But... this isn't right. I don't
think this is right.
REI
If you wish once more for the
existence of others, the barriers
of the heart will separate everyone
once more... And the fear of other
people will begin again.
SHINJI
That's all right...
Shinji disengages Rei from him and clasps her hand.
SHINJI (CONT'D)
Thank you.
Shinji and Rei, Shinji's head lying in Rei's lap.
SHINJI (CONT'D)
I feel that there were only hateful
things there. So I'm sure it was
okay to run away. But there was
nothing good in the place I ran to,
either. After all, I didn't exist
there... which is the same as no
one existing.
KAWORU
Is it okay for AT Fields to hurt
you and others once more?
SHINJI
I don't mind. But, what are you two
within my heart?
61.
REI
Hope. The hope that people might be
able to understand one another.
KAWORU
And the words 'I love you'.
SHINJI
But that's just pretending - a
self-intoxicating belief... like a
prayer. It can't possibly last
forever. Sooner or later I'll be
betrayed... And they'll leave me.
Still... I want to meet them again,
because I believe my feelings at
that time were real.

SEQUENCE - SHINJI REJECTS HUMAN INSTRUMENTALITY

Lilith-Rei collapses backwards and her wings vanish.
EVA-01 breaks out from Lilith-Rei's eye and grows wings.
The Black Moon divides into sections and explodes, showering
Lilith-Rei with LCL which falls to Earth and spreads outward.
KAWORU
Reality is in an unfamiliar place,
and dreams are within reality.
REI
And the truth is within your heart.
Lilith-Rei's body begins to fall apart.
KAWORU
For it is the hearts of people that
create their appearance.
REI
And new images will change peoples'
hearts and appearances. Images...
the power of imagination... The
power to create your own future,
and to make time flow.
KAWORU
But people must act of their own
free will, or nothing will change
at all.
62.
REI
So you must find your lost self on
your own... Even if you lose your
own words, or become lost in
others' words.
EVA-01 grasps and splits the Lance of Longinus.
The Lances impaling the Eva series burst and disappear.
REI (CONT'D)
Anyone can return to human form as
long as they can imagine themselves
in their own heart.
The Eva series go silent and fall to Earth.
Crosses rise into the heavens.
YUI (V.O.)
Don't worry. All living things have
the ability to return to their
original form... and the heart to
go on living. Anywhere can be
heaven as long as you have the will
to live. After all, you're alive...
and you can find the chance to
achieve happiness anywhere.
Rei appears before the now silent EVA-01... EVA-01, the
Lance, and millions of crosses continue to ascend into space.
YUI (V.O.) (CONT'D)
As long as the Sun, the Moon and
the Earth exist, everything will be
all right.
CUT TO:
WATER DROP
Yui caressing Shinji's cheek.
YUI
So, you'll be okay now?
SHINJI
I still don't know where to find
happiness... But I'll continue to
think about whether it's good to be
here... whether it was good to have
been born.
(MORE)
63.
SHINJI (CONT'D)
But in the end, it's just realizing
the obvious over and over again.
Because I am myself.
Shinji emerges from the sea of LCL... Lilith-Rei's head
splits.
SHINJI (CONT'D)
But mother... what will you do?
CUT TO:
FLASHBACK 13 YEARS AGO

Fuyutsuki, Yui and infant-Shinji.
FUYUTSUKI
Humans create Evangelion in
imitation of God... Is this our
true goal?
YUI
Yes. Humans can only live on this
planet, but Evangelion can live
forever... together with the human
soul that dwells within it.
EVA-01 and the Lance of Longinus float in space.
YUI (CONT'D)
Even after 5 billion years, when
the Earth, the Moon, and even the
Sun have disappeared, it will still
exist as long as even one person
still lives. It will be very
lonely, but as long as that one
person still lives...
FUYUTSUKI
It will be the eternal proof that
humankind has existed...
SHINJI
Good-bye, mother.

EXT. RED SEA SHORE - LCL BEACH

Lilith-Rei's split head. Misato's cross nailed to post.
Silent Eva series stand crucified in an LCL OCEAN. Waves of
LCL gently lapping at the shore.
Asuka and Shinji lie side by side on the beach.
Shinji turns to see Rei standing over the LCL sea - then Rei
vanishes. Shinji moves over Asuka begins to strangle her, but
with a caress of his cheek, she stops him and he starts
sobbing uncontrollably on top of her.
Prolonged silence.
Then Asuka's eye gazes blankly upon Shinji.
ASUKA
How disgusting.
