[00:00] E
    You... cowards!
[00:03] E
    Just shut up!
[00:05] E
    And bet everything you have on me!
[00:13] L
    What you need is to be trained
    like a dog, not a man.
[00:21] D
    Then my decision is made.
[00:23] Narr
    The Survey Corps gained custody of Eren.
[00:27] ---
    They now prepare for the expedition beyond the walls.
SIGN    Special Ops Squad Night Before the Counteroffensive (2)
SIGN    Trost
SIGN    Former Survey Corps Headquarters
[02:18] Ol
    The old Survey Corps HQ...
[02:23] Ol
    Originally, it was an old castle we remodeled.
[02:26] ---
    So it certainly looks imposing.
[02:29] Ol
    But being so far from the rivers and walls,
[02:34] ---
    it ended up being useless for the Survey Corps.
[02:38] Ol
    It was established right after
     the Survey Corps's formation,
[02:40] ---
    when ideals were all they had.
[02:42] Ol
    But I never imagined that this
    giant ornament would end up
[02:45] ---
    being the perfect place to hide you.
[02:52] Ol
    Don't get cocky, new kid.
[02:54] ---
    Sir?
[02:56] Ol
    I don't care if you're a Titan.
[02:58] Ol
    I can't believe Captain Levi will spend
    all his time with a brat like you...
[03:07] P
    It's no wonder you bit your tongue,
    talking up a storm while riding a horse!
[03:11] Ol
    First impressions are important.
[03:13] Ol
    The new kid almost pissed his pants.
[03:15] P
    I think he was just surprised
    by how dumb you are.
[03:19] Ol
    Either way, my plan worked.
[03:23] P
    You didn't always talk like that, did you?
[03:27] P
    If...
[03:28] P
    If you're seriously doing it to imitate
    Captain Levi, please stop.
[03:33] P
    You aren't like him in the slightest.
[03:38] Ol
    Trying to bind my hands, Petra?
[03:41] Ol
    You haven't followed all the
    necessary steps to become my wife.
[03:45] P
    I wish you'd bitten through
    your tongue and died.
[03:48] P
    Going on and on about how
    many Titans you've killed...
[03:51] Ol
    Don't worry.
[03:53] Ol
    I bragged about the rest of you, too.
[03:57] E
    Those are the members of the
    Survey Corps Special Operations Squad.
[04:01] E
    Also known as Squad Levi.
[04:03] P
    You're pathetic!
[04:06] E
    Petra Rall.
[04:07] E
    Titan kills, ten.
[04:09] E
    Assists, forty-eight.
[04:12] E
    Oluo Bozad.
[04:14] E
    Kills, thirty-nine.
[04:15] E
    Assists, nine.
[04:18] E
    By any definition, they're the best.
[04:22] E
    Eldo Jinn.
[04:23] E
    Kills, fourteen.
[04:25] E
    Assists, thirty-two.
[04:27] E
    Gunther Schultz.
[04:29] E
    Kills, seven.
[04:30] E
    Assists, forty.
[04:33] E
    They're the best of the Survey Corps,
[04:36] ---
    specially selected by Captain Levi.
[04:38] E
    And...
[04:40] E
    If I lose control, they'll be the ones who kill me.
[04:47] Gu
    Look at all these weeds.
[04:49] Gu
    What a mess.
[04:51] Er
    It hasn't been used for years.
[04:53] Er
    Inside, it's probably covered in dust.
[04:55] L
    That's a serious problem.
[04:59] L
    We'll begin immediately.
[05:10] E
    I've finished cleaning the upper floor.
[05:14] E
    Where should I sleep?
[05:19] L
    You sleep in the basement.
[05:21] E
    In the basement again?
[05:24] L
    Of course.
[05:25] L
    You can't control yourself.
[05:29] L
    If you're underground,
[05:31] L
    we can contain you if you turn
    into a Titan while half-asleep.
[05:33] L
    That was one of the conditions of your coming here.
[05:38] L
    It's a rule you'll have to follow.
[05:42] L
    I'll inspect the rooms.
[05:44] L
    Eren, take over here.
[05:46] E
    Yes, sir.
[05:53] P
    You look disappointed, Eren.
[05:55] E
    Excuse me?
[05:56] P
    Ah, I'll just call you Eren...
    Like Captain Levi does.
[06:01] P
    Here, he sets all the rules.
[06:04] E
    Sure, I don't mind...
[06:06] E
    But did I really look so disappointed?
[06:10] P
    Your reaction isn't all that uncommon.
[06:12] P
    He isn't the perfect hero
    that people say, right?
[06:16] P
    The real Captain Levi
[06:19] ---
    is smaller, more high-strung,
[06:20] ---
    and more violent than people
    think—an intimidating man.
[06:24] E
    No, what surprised me was how
[06:27] ---
    closely he seemed to follow orders from above.
[06:31] P
    Because he's powerful and influential,
[06:32] P
    you assumed he wouldn't let
    formalities hold him back?
[06:36] E
    Yes.
[06:37] E
    I thought he wouldn't take orders from anyone.
[06:40] P
    I don't know the details,
[06:43] P
    but before, he may have
    been just like you said.
[06:47] P
    Before he joined the Survey Corps,
[06:50] ---
    he was a famous thug, operating
    in the capital's underground.
[06:55] E
    Why would someone like that...
[06:57] P
    I don't know.
[06:58] P
    I'm not sure what happened,
[07:01] ---
    but I heard Captain Erwin brought
    him into the Survey Corps.
[07:07] E
    Captain Erwin?
[07:09] L
    Hey, Eren...
[07:10] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[07:12] L
    That isn't nearly good enough.
[07:14] L
    Redo the whole thing.
[07:18] Mi
    Then, in thirty days, we're going beyond
    the walls to set up resupply points?
[07:23] Mi
    And we're to bring along new recruits
    from this year's graduates, too.
[07:27] Er
    If there will be any new recruits, that is.
[07:30] Mike
    Regardless, I believe it's too soon.
[07:35] Er
    Eren's present circumstance
    is only a temporary measure.
[07:39] Er
    We must demonstrate to the Center
[07:40] Er
    that he's a benefit to
    humanity as soon as possible.
[07:45] Er
    Otherwise,
[07:47] Er
    we'll have the Military Police after us aga—
[07:49] Mi
    You're even using that story on me, Erwin?
[07:58] Er
    You're as sharp as ever, Mike.
[08:02] Mi
    But not as sharp as you.
[08:06] Er
    I'll tell you when the time comes.
[08:16] El
    We'll be on standby for a few more days.
[08:20] El
    I heard we're already planning a large-scale
    expedition beyond the walls in a month.
[08:24] El
    Not to mention, we'll be bringing
    this year's graduates along, too.
[08:28] Gu
    Is that true, Eldo?
[08:30] Gu
    That's pretty sudden.
[08:33] Gu
    That Titan attack must've taken
    a toll on the new troops.
[08:38] Ol
    It probably terrified the brats.
[08:41] P
    Is that true, Captain?
[08:43] L
    Making plans isn't my job.
[08:46] L
    But knowing Erwin,
[08:48] ---
    he has more on his mind
    than we could imagine.
[08:52] El
    It's true that the situation has changed.
[08:56] El
    I'd thought that all of our sacrifice
    thus far to lay a route to retake Maria
[08:59] El
    had been negated by a single blow.
[09:02] El
    But now we have an entirely different hope.
[09:13] El
    I still can't believe it.
[09:16] ---
    But what do they mean when
[09:18] ---
    they say you turn into a Titan, Eren?
[09:21] E
    I don't really remember what happened.
[09:25] E
    I was so desperate, I couldn't think...
[09:27] E
    But the trigger is self-inflicted injury.
[09:30] E
    I take my hand like this...
[09:32] E
    Wait... How do I know this?
[09:38] L
    You know we won't get anything
[09:40] ---
    out of Eren that isn't already
    covered in the reports.
[09:43] L
    But I'm sure a certain
    someone has other ideas.
[09:49] L
    Maybe fiddle around with you,
    and even kill you, Eren.
[09:54] E
    Someone?
[10:00] H
    Hello, Levi Squad...
[10:04] H
    How are you enjoying the castle?
[10:06] L
    You're early.
[10:08] H
    I couldn't wait any longer!
[10:10] E
    Squad Leader Hanji?
[10:12] H
    Hey there, Eren...
[10:14] H
    I'm in charge of investigating the
    two Titans we've captured in town,
[10:20] H
    and I'd like you to help with
    tomorrow's experiments.
[10:23] H
    I came to get permission.
[10:25] E
    Experiments?
[10:28] E
    What would I be doing?
[10:29] H
    Something totally awesome!
[10:34] E
    W-Well...
[10:35] E
    I can't give permission for myself.
[10:39] E
    I don't have that authority...
[10:42] H
    Levi, what's Eren doing tomorrow?
[10:45] L
    Cleaning the courtyard.
[10:46] H
    Okay, then!
[10:47] H
    It's settled!
[10:50] H
    Eren... See you tomorrow!
[10:53] E
    R-Right...
[10:55] E
    But what do you mean by
    experiments with Titans?
[10:59] ---
    Hmm?
[11:01] E
    U-Um, what kind of experiments...
[11:03] Ol
    Hey, stop... Don't ask!
[11:07] H
    I knew it.
[11:09] H
    I thought you looked like
    you wanted to hear...
[11:23] H
    If you really want to hear about it...
[11:25] H
    That's just fine.
[11:28] H
    I'll have to tell you...
[11:31] H
    About the boys we captured.
SIGN    Information We Can Share So Far:
SIGN    Wallists (1) Members of a religious organization that proselytizes within the walls. They worship the walls as God, refusing to allow any changes to them, even for defensive purposes.
SIGN    Information We Can Share So Far:
SIGN    Wallists (2) Since Wall Maria's fall, their numbers have rapidly increased, as has their influence.
[11:47] H
    We started by repeating the experiments
[11:50] ---
    from the last five successful captures.
[11:55] H
    Hi, there!
[11:59] H
    First, we tested if
    communication was possible.
[12:03] H
    How are you doing?
[12:05] H
    What's your name?
[12:06] H
    Does that hurt?
[12:08] Soldiers
    Sir, you're too close!
[12:12] H
    Hi, there.
[12:14] H
    Nice weather we're having.
[12:16] H
    Hungry?
[12:19] H
    That was close!
[12:20] H
    Too close!
[12:21] Soldiers
    Sir, it's too dangerous!
[12:23] H
    Unfortunately, we reached the
    same conclusion as before,
[12:27] ---
    that communication was impossible.
[12:31] H
    But my time with the Titans
[12:34] ---
    has been so fulfilling
    that I could almost
[12:37] ---
    
    forget the weariness from my daily toils.
[12:40] H
    Once upon a time, there was
    a tribe that ate humans.
[12:46] H
    I'm not talking about you Titans.
[12:48] H
    I'm talking about a human tribe.
[12:51] H
    They hid in a cave,
    deep in the mountains,
[12:55] ---
    and attacked travelers on the road,
[12:59] H
    stealing their valuables
    and eating their flesh.
[13:03] Soldiers
    The Squad Leader's started the
    usual naming ceremony again.
[13:06] Soldiers
    Yeah, what was it last time?
[13:09] Soldiers
    Chikachironi and Albert.
[13:11] H
    For twenty-five years,
    they kept this up.
[13:17] H
    They say that there were more than
    five hundred victims in all.
[13:22] H
    That's probably even more than
    the number of humans you've eaten.
[13:27] H
    And they tried preparing them
    in a number of ways.
[13:31] H
    They made steaks out of butts.
[13:34] H
    Cut thighs into chunks for stew.
[13:37] H
    They would chop up, knead, and bake
    the tougher flesh as mincemeat.
[13:41] H
    They made sausage of
    the blood and organs.
[13:45] H
    Yes, they were capable of cooking.
[13:49] H
    That's one difference from you.
[13:52] H
    But that tribe of cannibals was
    captured after a single mistake,
[13:57] H
    then executed.
[13:59] H
    Just like you two.
[14:02] H
    You made the mistake
    of attacking humanity,
[14:05] ---
    and you were captured.
[14:08] H
    And so, I'd like to give you the names
    of the male head of that tribe.
[14:15] H
    You're Sawney.
[14:17] H
    You're Bean.
[14:20] H
    But don't worry...
[14:22] H
    I won't have you executed.
[14:26] H
    Nice to meet you, Sawney.
[14:28] H
    And you, Bean.
[14:31] H
    Let's all be friends.
[14:34] H
    And so, I named the seven-meter class Bean,
[14:37] H
    and the four-meter class Sawney.
[14:45] H
    Next, we tried cutting
    them off from sunlight.
[14:49] H
    We know that Titans start shutting
    down as the night progresses.
[14:52] H
    So we wanted to experiment to verify
[14:55] ---
    that sunlight was powering them somehow.
[14:58] H
    There were large individual differences
    as to how they were affected.
[15:04] H
    You did well, Sawney.
[15:06] H
    Goodnight.
[15:07] H
    See you tomorrow.
[15:10] H
    After losing access to sunlight,
    Sawney started slowing down in an hour...
[15:15] H
    You really like to stay up late, Bean.
[15:19] H
    That's fine... I'll stay up with you.
[15:24] H
    But Bean was fine for three hours.
[15:30] H
    I was amazed yet again.
[15:33] H
    They don't eat or drink.
[15:35] H
    They have vocal organs,
    but they don't need to breathe.
[15:39] H
    For energy, all they require is sunlight.
[15:43] H
    What if we deprived them of it
    for an extended period?
[15:45] ---
    I am curious, but it wouldn't
    do to have them die on us.
[15:49] H
    We killed the last boys
    we caught by mistake...
[15:54] H
    When we experimented with
    cutting off their heads,
[15:56] ---
    we took off the backs of their necks, too.
[15:59] H
    Chikachironi and Albert
    were their names.
[16:03] H
    Their smiles were so cute.
[16:06] H
    I feel really bad about
    what we did to them.
[16:11] H
    I never want to feel that way again!
[16:16] E
    Hanji-san...
[16:21] H
    And then, we started touching
    their bodies directly,
[16:25] H
    to test their sense of pain!
[16:35] Soldier
    Sir, you don't need to scream, too!
[16:37] H
    How can I not?!
[16:40] H
    Look at how much Bean is suffering...
[16:43] H
    Bean, stay strong!
[16:45] H
    Endure it!
[16:48] H
    We had to see if Titans
    had any vulnerabilities
[16:51] ---
    beyond the backs of their necks.
[16:55] H
    It was an extremely difficult task...
[16:59] H
    Sawney...
[17:01] H
    Look, it's gone right into your heart.
[17:04] H
    Doesn't it hurt?
[17:05] H
    How does it feel?
[17:08] H
    Unlike Bean, Sawney was introverted,
    and rarely responded.
[17:15] H
    What?
[17:17] H
    What's wrong?
[17:21] Soldier
    Sir, get back!
[17:25] H
    That was really close, Sawney...
[17:27] Solder
    At this rate, you'll really die!
[17:30] H
    So Sawney isn't good with self-expression.
[17:35] H
    He just kept trying to bite my head off.
[17:37] E
    Uh, Hanji-san?
[17:40] E
    How can you stay so
    cheerful around Titans?
[17:47] E
    I mean,
[17:49] E
    they've almost wiped us out...
    They're our natural predators.
[17:54] E
    And you've seen what they
    can do hundreds of times.
[18:00] H
    You're right.
[18:01] H
    I've seen many, many friends get
    killed by Titans right in front of me.
[18:07] H
    When I first joined the Survey Corps,
    it was hatred that drove me...
[18:13] H
    But then, one day I realized it.
[18:17] H
    It was after I'd kicked away the
    head of a three-meter Titan.
[18:23] H
    It was light... Extremely light.
[18:26] H
    The Titan's body...
[18:30] H
    Something that size shouldn't
    even be able to stand,
[18:34] ---
    much less walk, on two feet.
[18:37] H
    That's true of all of them.
[18:39] H
    I once cut off an arm,
[18:41] ---
    and it didn't weigh nearly
    what it should have.
[18:45] H
    I'm told when you became a Titan,
[18:47] ---
    the body appeared out of thin air.
[18:53] H
    I believe that
[18:56] ---
    the Titans we see and the
    Titans of actuality might
[18:59] ---
    be different things altogether.
[19:07] H
    For decades, we've tried to fight the
    Titans with hatred in our hearts.
[19:13] H
    I want to try and see them from a
    different angle than the current norm.
[19:19] H
    It may end up not meaning a thing.
[19:22] H
    But I'm going to do it anyway!
[19:32] E
    Since I joined the Survey Corps,
    it's been one surprise after the next.
[19:37] E
    Not just Hanji-san...
[19:39] E
    Everyone here is odd.
[19:41] E
    It's like a den of madmen...
[19:45] E
    However...
[19:47] E
    The Survey Corps is a group of
    people who desire change!
[19:53] E
    Hanji-san...
[19:55] ---
    Could you tell me more
    about your experiments?
[20:00] H
    Really?
[20:01] E
    Yes!
[20:02] ---
    I think it's best for tomorrow's
    experiments if I know the details.
[20:07] H
    Th-That's true...
[20:09] ---
    Yeah.
[20:10] H
    There is a lot of stuff I skipped...
[20:13] H
    I'll give you more details.
[20:15] H
    But it'll take a while.
[20:17] E
    That's fine!
[20:18] H
    When we first captured a Titan,
    this was my hypothesis...
[20:26] H
    And thus, we didn't learn anything
    new from these experiments.
[20:32] H
    You should have learned everything
[20:33] ---
    I just told you when you were a trainee.
[20:36] H
    You knew all that, right?
[20:38] E
    Yes...
[20:39] E
    I knew it all.
[20:41] H
    So let's go over it once more,
    this time adding my own hypotheses.
[20:46] ---
    What?
[20:47] E
    Um, I think—
[20:48] H
    First, the Titans...
[20:50] Soldier
    Is Squad Leader Hanji here?
[20:53] Soldier
    The test subjects...
[20:54] Soldier
    Both Titans were killed!
[21:07] Soldier
    Sawney!
[21:08] Soldier
    Bean!
[21:09] Soldier
    This can't be real...
[21:11] Soldier
    Tell me it isn't real!
[21:15] Gu
    Those subjects were very valuable...
[21:17] Gu
    Did one of the soldiers do it?
[21:19] Er
    Yeah, we don't know who yet.
[21:22] Er
    They were both killed at the
    same time before dawn.
[21:25] Er
