Code Geass

Lelouch:
That trap at the entrance was designed to buy them time. Was I their intended target? Or was it C.C.? No matter. The first thing to do is to make sure Nunnally is alright.

[Lelouch walks to the door and puts his hands on it. Suddenly, someone shoots it. Suzaku has arrived, holding a gun.]

Suzaku:
Turn and face me. Very slowly.

Lelouch:
[thinking] Damn it! Why now?

Suzaku:
Didn't you hear me, Zero? I said, "Turn and face me. Very slowly."

Lelouch:
Euphemia randomly murdered throngs of innocent Japanese people. You fight for a woman like th--?

Suzaku:
Your Geass power is quite convenient, isn't it?

Lelouch:
[gasps]

Suzaku:
You get to hide in the shadows while others take all the blame for doing your dirty work. You're just an arrogant coward. That's your true nature, the real you. Kallen!

Kallen:
[gasps, shown to be behind Suzaku, hidden until now]

Suzaku:
Don't you want to know Zero's true identity, too?

Kallen:
What are you saying?

Suzaku:
You have a right to bear witness. [raises his gun]

Kallen:
[gasp] No! Wait!

[Suzaku fires a bullet into Lelouch's helmet. The bullet ricochets off the mask, cracking it perfectly in half. The halves clatter to the floor as Suzaku and Kallen now see the identity of Zero. A long pause follows as a slight trickle of blood comes from Lelouch's forehead.]

Kallen:
[voice shaking] But how...?! [falls to her knees] How could you?!

Suzaku:
[solemnly, lowering his gun] I didn't want it... to be you.

Kallen:
[still in shock] L-Lelouch is...

Lelouch:
Yes, I am Zero, the man who leads the Black Knights, who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire, the one who holds the entire world in his hand.

Kallen:
You used us, the Japanese people? You used me?

Lelouch:
And, as a result, Japan will be freed. You certainly can't complain about that.

[Kallen sheds a tear, still shocked and feeling betrayed.]

Suzaku:
[subtly infuriated] I should have arrested you while I had the chance.

Lelouch:
You knew it was me?

Suzaku:
I wasn't sure at first, so I convinced myself that it wasn't true. But I really wanted to believe in you. But you were lying to us, to me. Your sister, Euphie. And Nunnally.

[Kallen stands and stumbles while Lelouch speaks.]

Lelouch:
Yes, and now, Nunnally's been kidnapped.

[Suzaku reacts in surprise to this news, looking concerned all of a sudden.]

Lelouch:
Please, Suzaku, can't we call a temporary truce? I need your help! Together we'll be able to save Nunnally. There's nothing in the world that you and I can't do together.

[Kallen is shaking, still in shock. Meanwhile, Suzaku regains his composure, becoming furious.]

Suzaku:
[angrily] I'm done with that! Had you only joined up with Euphie first, we wouldn't be here! If you and she had combined forces, things would be different! The world could have been--!

Lelouch:
[cutting Suzaku off] That's all in the past! Over and done with.

Suzaku:
[shocked by Lelouch's cold tone] Past?!

Lelouch:
You killed your own father, didn't you?! Wallow in remorse when you have time for it!

Suzaku:
[shouting] No! You're hopeless!

Lelouch:
What?

Suzaku:
I know you! In the very end, you'd betray the entire world, the way it's betrayed you! I'm not going to let your sick, twisted dream be realized!

Lelouch:
You fool! You think ideals alone can change the world?! Fine! Then go right ahead and SHOOT ME! Come on! [Attaches a sakuradite bomb to his chest] Set your aim on this liquid sakuradite!

Kallen:
[gasps loudly]

Lelouch:
If my heart stops, this vial will explode, and you'll both die with me.

Suzaku:
Damn you!

Lelouch:
Listen, I'll make a deal with you. I want to know who told you about Geass. Did they abduct Nunnally?

Suzaku:
[fully enraged] NOTHING THAT HAPPENS NOW IS ANY OF YOUR CONCERN!

[Lelouch's emotional state visibly deteriorates as Suzaku rails on.]

Suzaku:
YOUR VERY EXISTENCE IS A MISTAKE! YOU NEED TO BE ERASED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF NUNNALLY!!

[Lelouch finally snaps and withdraws his own gun in a rage!]

Lelouch:
SUZAKU!!! [aims his gun at Suzaku]

Suzaku:
[voice echoing] LELOOOOOOOOOUCH!!! [aims back]

[A gunshot rings out.]
