**[00:09] ---**
Conny!
**[00:10] ---**
Are there any survivors?
**[00:13] ---**
No...
**[00:15] ---**
None at all.
**[00:18] ---**
It's all over...
**[00:20] ---**
My hometown... It's gone forever.
**[00:30] ---**
Hey! Something's strange here.
**[00:35] ---**
Has anyone spotted any bodies?
**[00:38] ---**
No...
**[00:40] ---**
I haven't.
**[00:41] ---**
How is that even possible?
**[00:43] ---**
Titans come and not a single drop of blood?
**[00:45] ---**
Everyone must've escaped!
**[00:47] ---**
It means nobody here was eaten.
**[00:49] ---**
Including your family, too.
**[00:51] ---**
I see... That's gotta be it!
**[00:54] ---**
Yeah. It's unbelievable to think Titans
ate everyone without leaving blood behind.
**[01:01] ---**
That's not all that's unbelievable.
**[01:04] ---**
If the entire village was really evacuated,
**[01:08] ---**
why would Titans obliterate
these houses with nobody in them?
**[01:15] ---**
But what really boggles
my mind is the stables.
**[01:20] ---**
If they tried to escape without horses,
their chances of survival would be slim.
**[01:26] ---**
Everyone got their torches?
**[01:28] ---**
Let's move!
**[01:29] ---**
Our mission now is to locate
and assess the breach in the wall!
**[01:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[01:44] ---**
Wel... come... home...
**[02:02] ---**
Just now...
**[02:05] ---**
Conny, hurry up!
**[02:07] ---**
We're falling behind Gerger!
**[02:09] ---**
Reiner? Did you hear that?
**[02:12] ---**
The Titan--
**[02:12] ---**
I didn't hear anything at all.
**[02:15] ---**
Enough with the chit-chat.
Focus on the mission!
**[02:19] ---**
But it... I think...
**[02:21] ---**
I don't know how, but...
**[02:23] ---**
I think...
**[02:24] ---**
My mom...
**[02:25] ---**
Conny! Do you understand
the situation we're in?!
**[02:29] ---**
Hundreds of thousands of lives depend
on whether we complete this mission or not!
**[02:34] ---**
Your family might have escaped,
but it's not over yet!
**[02:38] ---**
If you're a soldier, put the mission first!
**[02:45] ---**
Yeah...
**[02:46] ---**
Good point.
**[02:50] ---**
He's absolutely right!
**[04:26] ---**
"Southwestward"
**[04:35] ---**
"7 hours after the Titan spotting"
"Western Team"
**[04:36] ---**
We're getting close to the wall now,
so there's no people living in the area.
**[04:41] ---**
Right. That didn't take us very long.
**[04:46] ---**
All right, let's head to the south.
**[04:50] ---**
What for?
**[04:51] ---**
There shouldn't be any
villages south of here.
**[04:55] ---**
We need to find the location
the wall was breached.
**[04:58] ---**
We'll ride along the wall
from the west until we find it.
**[05:02] ---**
But Christa and I don't have our battle gear.
**[05:05] ---**
There's probably Titans
roaming everywhere to our south.
**[05:09] ---**
It's very possible that
we'll become Titan fodder.
**[05:13] ---**
Let the two of us withdraw from the front.
**[05:16] ---**
Ymir...
**[05:17] ---**
You can't. I'll need somebody
to relay back a report.
**[05:21] ---**
I know how you feel,
but you signed up for this as a soldier.
**[05:31] ---**
Ymir.
**[05:33] ---**
I'm fine with putting my life on the line.
**[05:37] ---**
After all, I'm the one
who chose to join the Scouts.
**[05:42] ---**
But... it's not the same for you.
**[05:46] ---**
The only reason you joined
the Scouts was because--
**[05:49] ---**
Hmph! You think I did it for you?!
**[05:52] ---**
Then why are you even here?
**[05:55] ---**
You kept trying to convince me
to join the Military Police.
**[05:59] ---**
But then you gave that privilege to me!
**[06:02] ---**
There's no way I'm good enough
to make the top ten on skill alone.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm sure if I asked anyone,
they'd say you deserved to be in it, not me.
**[06:12] ---**
I don't know how you did it, but...
**[06:16] ---**
Why?
**[06:18] ---**
Why would you go that far for me?
**[06:24] ---**
Does it...
**[06:27] ---**
...have to do with my family?
**[06:31] ---**
Yeah, it does.
**[06:36] ---**
Christa...
**[06:38] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:40] ---**
The only reason I'm here...
is for myself and nothing else.
**[06:47] ---**
I see...
**[06:51] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[07:00] ---**
"9 hours after the Titan spotting"
"Eastern defensive line"
**[07:07] ---**
The target has come within range!
**[07:09] ---**
All cannons, prepare to fire!
**[07:13] ---**
Not yet! Wait for the order!
**[07:16] ---**
Sir!
**[07:18] ---**
Fire!
**[07:39] ---**
Did I get 'em?
**[07:42] ---**
You did it, Captain Rico!
**[07:44] ---**
At this rate, they'll
never break our defense!
**[07:47] ---**
No... The Titans' strength
is in their numbers.
**[07:51] ---**
If they attack as a group,
this line won't stand a chance.
**[07:57] ---**
But... what is it?
**[07:59] ---**
Something isn't...
**[08:02] ---**
This is strange...
**[08:04] ---**
Captain Hannes! Is something wrong?
**[08:07] ---**
We haven't even spotted a single Titan yet.
**[08:11] ---**
We've got to be getting
close to the hole now.
**[08:14] ---**
And yet, doesn't it seem
awful quiet around here?
**[08:21] ---**
Hopefully, we can sneak in and out
without stirring up a storm.
**[08:40] ---**
"11 hours after the Titan spotting"
"Southern Team"
**[08:47] ---**
When?
**[08:50] ---**
When will they show?
**[08:53] ---**
When will it happen?
**[08:56] ---**
At any second, they could
leap out from the shadows.
**[09:01] ---**
No...
**[09:03] ---**
The closer we get to the hole,
the more inevitable it becomes.
**[09:10] ---**
Damn it!
**[09:12] ---**
This is driving me crazy!
**[09:40] ---**
Did you follow the wall here, too?
**[09:43] ---**
Yeah. Where did you find the hole?
**[09:45] ---**
Huh?
**[09:47] ---**
We didn't find anything to the west.
**[09:51] ---**
Didn't you find it your way?
**[09:54] ---**
No...
**[09:56] ---**
There's no hole this way either.
**[10:05] ---**
Is it possible we missed it?
**[10:07] ---**
No way.
**[10:08] ---**
Not a hole big enough for Titans to use.
**[10:11] ---**
Should we go back and look again?
**[10:14] ---**
We'll need to, but the horses
and the rest of us are exhausted.
**[10:20] ---**
If only we had some moonlight...
**[10:24] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:28] ---**
What's that?
**[10:34] ---**
Castle ruins?
***SIGN*** "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Torches" "Though seemingly primitive, torches do not extinguish when dropped, making them ideal for night operations.
***SIGN*** Due to their usefulness and long burning time,
materials to make torches are issued
as standard equipment in the Scout Regiment."
**[10:54] ---**
It looks like a mess, but we can
make it work for one night of rest.
**[10:59] ---**
Right. Luckily the moon is out.
**[11:11] ---**
Hange.
**[11:14] ---**
Hey, four-eyes.
**[11:17] ---**
Are your hobbies so boring that playing
with rocks is somehow fun for you?
**[11:22] ---**
Yeah. That's right.
**[11:25] ---**
But this is no ordinary rock.
**[11:27] ---**
It's a hardened fragment of skin
left behind by the Female Titan.
**[11:31] ---**
Huh? It didn't disappear?
**[11:33] ---**
Right! Annie reverted from a Titan, but it's still
intact even though it broke off her body.
**[11:38] ---**
It didn't evaporate. It didn't disappear.
**[11:42] ---**
So I thought, "What if?"
**[11:44] ---**
When I compared it to a piece of the wall,
**[11:46] ---**
its pattern and composition
were practically identical.
**[11:51] ---**
In other words, the wall is
a barricade of humongous Titans.
**[11:54] ---**
And if I'm right, the surface is
constructed with hardened Titan skin.
**[12:00] ---**
That's exactly what Armin was saying...
**[12:05] ---**
Th-Then--
**[12:07] ---**
Let me finish, Armin.
**[12:10] ---**
As it stands, we'll be hard pressed
to fill the hole in Wall Rose.
**[12:14] ---**
That is, unless we can find
the perfect boulder to plug it.
**[12:19] ---**
But if... But if Eren,
in his transformed state,
**[12:23] ---**
could use the Titans' hardening ability
to seal the hole in the wall...
**[12:29] ---**
Use me...
**[12:32] ---**
...to seal the wall?
**[12:35] ---**
It should be made of the same material.
**[12:38] ---**
And seeing how the hardened section won't
evaporate, even after you revert from a Titan...
**[12:44] ---**
...it's possible...
**[12:49] ---**
I think it's well worth the risk to try.
**[12:52] ---**
And assuming it really does work,
reclaiming Wall Maria is feasible, too.
**[12:59] ---**
Up until now, we've had to transport
a large quantity of materials and supplies.
**[13:03] ---**
That's why the need for outposts
past the wall limited our progress.
**[13:07] ---**
But if we don't have to
accommodate supply wagons...
**[13:11] ---**
...we could quickly make
our way to Shiganshina.
**[13:14] ---**
What if we carried out the plan at night?
**[13:17] ---**
At night?
**[13:18] ---**
Yes.
**[13:19] ---**
During the night, when Titans can't move.
**[13:23] ---**
I see...
**[13:24] ---**
If the group was small enough,
you could sneak all the way to Wall Maria.
**[13:30] ---**
The current situation is
as bad as it gets, but...
**[13:33] ---**
...we still have a glimmer of hope.
**[13:37] ---**
Yes, but remember...
**[13:40] ---**
...it all depends on whether Eren
can seal the hole or not.
**[13:45] ---**
I realize asking this
hardly seems fair, but...
**[13:49] ---**
Think you can do it?
**[14:00] ---**
It doesn't matter what you think.
**[14:04] ---**
You have to. There's no other choice.
**[14:07] ---**
We're out of options.
**[14:09] ---**
Our forces are struggling so desperately,
there's nothing else they can do.
**[14:14] ---**
You have to succeed.
**[14:17] ---**
I will!
**[14:18] ---**
I'll do whatever it takes to seal the wall!
**[14:22] ---**
Whatever it takes...
**[14:31] ---**
The basement...
**[14:32] ---**
My dad's basement...
**[14:35] ---**
If what my dad said was true,
we'll find the answers to everything there.
**[14:48] ---**
It's Ehrmich District.
**[15:04] ---**
Hey, keep moving.
**[15:05] ---**
You'll end up like a little lost kid.
**[15:08] ---**
Th-This is...
**[15:10] ---**
What did you expect you'd see?
**[15:13] ---**
This is what happens when the wall falls.
**[15:18] ---**
Mommy! Daddy!
**[15:24] ---**
Hey!
**[15:25] ---**
Where do you think you're going?
**[15:28] ---**
Take a good look at the faces of people
who've lost everything.
**[15:33] ---**
The faces of everyone you
and your people abandoned.
**[15:37] ---**
If your church's wish comes true,
and Titans come flooding through the walls,
**[15:42] ---**
we'll all be gobbled up in their stinking mouths
and die in the most miserable way possible.
**[15:50] ---**
All of humanity, digested as one.
**[15:56] ---**
Once we leave Ehrmich,
we'll be in Titan territory.
**[16:00] ---**
Eren? Think you can ride a horse?
**[16:02] ---**
Yes. I feel fully recovered now.
**[16:06] ---**
Yours is ready at the west lift. Let's hurry.
**[16:13] ---**
Section Commander. We should hurry.
**[16:15] ---**
Give me a minute, Moblit.
**[16:18] ---**
Have you had a change of heart yet?
**[16:26] ---**
We don't have time for this!
You know, don't you?!
**[16:29] ---**
Will you talk, or won't you?!
Make up your mind already!
**[16:34] ---**
I cannot say anything.
**[16:36] ---**
The other believers are the same as I,
and that will never change.
**[16:41] ---**
Well thanks for nothing!
**[16:43] ---**
We're so grateful for all
the help you've been!
**[16:46] ---**
It's too great a decision
for a single person to make.
**[16:52] ---**
--The Order of the Walls must always adhere
to the sacred will we're bound to obey.
**[16:55] ---**
--This way.
**[16:55] ---**
--The Order of the Walls must always adhere
to the sacred will we're bound to obey.
**[16:56] ---**
-Sir! Thank you!
**[16:57] ---**
--The Order of the Walls must always adhere
to the sacred will we're bound to obey.
**[16:58] ---**
Whose will?
**[17:00] ---**
God or something?
**[17:01] ---**
I cannot say anything.
**[17:04] ---**
However,
**[17:05] ---**
I can inform you of a name, who under their
sacred will, we were instructed to monitor.
**[17:12] ---**
Monitor?
**[17:15] ---**
That person joined the Scout
Regiment as of this year.
**[17:22] ---**
Their name is...
**[17:24] ---**
Excuse me!
**[17:26] ---**
104th Cadet Corps!
**[17:28] ---**
Sasha Braus!
**[17:31] ---**
Her?
**[17:33] ---**
Who's that?
**[17:34] ---**
Um, this is for you, Section Commander.
**[17:37] ---**
You must find her at once.
**[17:39] ---**
Only she... She may know the truths
which even we cannot perceive.
**[17:45] ---**
That is all the information I can share.
**[17:49] ---**
The rest I leave in your hands.
**[17:52] ---**
If she's in the 104th, then she's deep
in the front lines right now.
**[17:57] ---**
Let's go!
**[17:58] ---**
We need to hurry!
**[18:00] ---**
Wait!
**[18:01] ---**
Ouch...
**[18:03] ---**
Sasha?!
**[18:04] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[18:09] ---**
Upon my arrival, I gave my report
to the Commander!
**[18:13] ---**
Afterwards, I was entrusted to deliver
this message to the Section Commander!
**[18:17] ---**
Message? Thank you. Good work.
**[18:23] ---**
So, who is this girl in the 104th?
**[18:26] ---**
She's the smallest one of us.
**[18:29] ---**
She's got long golden hair.
**[18:31] ---**
Um, and...
**[18:34] ---**
She's cute.
**[18:37] ---**
She's always hanging around Ymir.
**[18:41] ---**
Ymir?
**[18:45] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[18:49] ---**
Ymir...
**[18:51] ---**
You...
**[18:55] ---**
Everyone, wake up!
**[18:56] ---**
Get to the tower! Quickly!
**[19:08] ---**
I couldn't see them in the darkness,
but then the moon...
**[19:14] ---**
Why? Why can they move?
**[19:17] ---**
It's been so long since the sun set!
**[19:21] ---**
What's going on here?
**[19:22] ---**
Hey! Look at that!
**[19:26] ---**
It's huge! What the hell is it? A Titan?
**[19:30] ---**
No, it's more like...
**[19:33] ---**
It's like a beast!
**[19:35] ---**
Right?
**[19:41] ---**
It's... headed for the wall!
**[19:50] ---**
Everyone understand?
**[19:52] ---**
Yes!
**[19:54] ---**
We've got to go!
**[19:55] ---**
Calm down, Eren.
**[19:59] ---**
You all listen, too.
**[20:01] ---**
We're going our own ways now.
**[20:03] ---**
The rest is up to you.
**[20:05] ---**
Erwin may have thrown together your squad,
but everything's riding on you.
**[20:11] ---**
Got it, Armin?
**[20:13] ---**
Work with Hange and combine your knowledge.
**[20:16] ---**
Y-Yes sir!
**[20:18] ---**
Mikasa.
**[20:20] ---**
I don't know why you're
so attached to Eren, but...
**[20:23] ---**
...use the utmost of your ability
to protect Eren at all costs.
**[20:27] ---**
Yes, sir! Of course!
**[20:30] ---**
And finally...
**[20:32] ---**
Eren.
**[20:37] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[20:39] ---**
Wait, wait, wait up!
**[20:43] ---**
Don't you be coming in here!
**[20:45] ---**
You're fricking kidding me.
Gotta be fricking kidding me.
**[20:49] ---**
I'd be drinking right now
if it wasn't for you!
**[20:52] ---**
This is all your fault!
**[20:54] ---**
Stand back, rookies.
**[20:57] ---**
Leave it to us.
**[21:00] ---**
It's time to show off our ODM gear.
**[21:05] ---**
Let's go!
**[21:24] ---**
And finally, Eren.
**[21:26] ---**
Learn how to restrain yourself.
**[21:29] ---**
Don't succumb to rage
and lose sight of the goal.
**[21:33] ---**
We can't afford another mistake.
**[21:36] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[21:39] ---**
There's a tower nearby
where we can assess the wall.
**[21:43] ---**
It's in an abandoned castle to the southwest.
**[21:46] ---**
We'll ride to Utgard Castle.
**[23:41] ---**
While searching for the Titans' breach in
the wall, the Scouts arrive at Utgard Castle.
**[23:48] ---**
Their rest is cut short by Titans who move
even under the darkness of night.
**[23:55] ---**
The Scouts fight back gallantly.
**[23:58] ---**
As the Titans' invasion presses within the
castle, Reiner recollects a scene of his past.
