    "The Basement"
[01:41] ---
    Armin! Get down!
[01:54] ---
    It hurts...
[01:55] ---
    It hurts so badly...
[02:28] ---
    Bertholdt...
[02:32] ---
    It hurts...
[02:36] ---
    It hurts so badly...
[02:38] ---
    Sasha?
[02:40] ---
    Sasha!
[02:42] ---
    You're in horrible shape... What happened to you...?
[02:46] ---
    Armin!
[02:49] ---
    Eren?
[02:57] ---
    Armin, I'm glad... you're back!
[03:02] ---
    Huh?
[03:06] ---
    You're up?
[03:09] ---
    Captain!
[03:11] ---
    What in the world happened here?
[03:15] ---
    I remember... Bertholdt becoming a Titan...
[03:19] ---
    Did we fight them off? Are they okay?!
[03:23] ---
    That's as far back as you remember?
[03:26] ---
    Huh?
[03:27] ---
    Eren, tell him everything.
[03:52] ---
    Ok are you up to speed now?
[03:58] ---
    Are you telling me... the Scout Regiment...
[04:02] ---
    ...is the nine of us here... and that's it?
[04:06] ---
    For the time being.
[04:08] ---
    The fighting ended four hours ago.
[04:10] ---
    We've been looking for survivors,
    but... no luck...
[04:16] ---
    S-So, we managed to seal
    the walls of Shiganshina...
[04:22] ---
    But Reiner, the Beast Titan,
    and one other escaped...
[04:26] ---
    You managed to capture Bertholdt...
[04:28] ---
    Then... there was a dispute...
[04:32] ---
    ...about using the injection on
    Commander Erwin or me...
[04:36] ---
    And I...
[04:38] ---
    ...turned into a Titan and ate B-Bertholdt...
[04:48] ---
    Here.
[05:04] ---
    Why though? Why did you pick me?
[05:09] ---
    No matter how you look at it,
[05:11] ---
    wasn't Commander Erwin
    the right one to bring back?
[05:15] ---
    Captain! Why did you give me the injection?!
[05:18] ---
    Tsk!
[05:21] ---
    I thought I told you to tell him everything.
[05:23] ---
    The thing is, it seems your two
    friends here didn't think that way.
[05:29] ---
    They stood up to me...
    prepared a mutiny.
[05:33] ---
    Huh?
[05:34] ---
    We'll take whatever punishment comes.
[05:38] ---
    You'll be disciplined for
    insubordination, but...
[05:41] ---
    Does taking the punishment
    allow you to do anything?
[05:45] ---
    No...
[05:47] ---
    However...
[05:49] ---
    The final decision to choose you was mine.
[05:53] ---
    No...
[05:55] ---
    I chose this to be the
    place where Erwin dies.
[06:02] ---
    I don't understand...
[06:05] ---
    There's no way it's okay to let Erwin die...What are the scouts without him?
[06:08] ---
    If the commander is gone,
    how... how will we go on?
[06:15] ---
    I agree. I thought it should've
    been used on Erwin...
[06:20] ---
    ...if we're being brutally honest.
[06:23] ---
    No... It's a shame we had to choose in the first place.
    put in that position...
[06:30] ---
    Anyways, Erwin entrusted Levi
    with the decision to use it.
[06:34] ---
    And Levi ended up choosing you.
[06:37] ---
    There's nothing more to say.
[06:40] ---
    Erwin's life and a Titan's power
    rest on your shoulders.
[06:44] ---
    No matter what anyone says,
    that's part of who you are now. Accept it.
[06:53] ---
    Does that mean... I need to be...
    Erwin's replacement?
[06:59] ---
    No way... I can't...
[07:04] ---
    Don't misunderstand us.
[07:07] ---
    You'll never be Erwin's replacement.
[07:10] ---
    But...
[07:12] ---
    ...I know you have a strength
    that nobody else has but you.
[07:18] ---
    I won't regret my decision.
[07:21] ---
    However, don't make these guys regret it.
[07:25] ---
    Not me, nor these mutineers here.
[07:28] ---
    And don't regret it yourself, either.
[07:32] ---
    That is your mission.
[07:42] ---
    Shut up!
[07:53] ---
    We're no match for Sasha.
[07:56] ---
    Well, being the successor of Erwin
    as commander of the Scouts,
[08:01] ---
    we're kinda in the same boat.
[08:04] ---
    From here on out,
    we'll have to grin and bear it while doing what we can.
[08:09] ---
    Right...
[08:11] ---
    Now then...
[08:13] ---
    If it's not a problem for Armin,
    we should get going.
[08:17] ---
    Levi, Eren, Mikasa, and
    I will go investigate.
[08:21] ---
    You other four keep watch
    from atop Shiganshina's wall.
[08:25] ---
    Roger.
[08:26] ---
    Eren. Do you still have the key?
[08:31] ---
    Yeah.
[08:34] ---
    Right here.
[08:37] ---
    Eren...
[08:38] ---
    When I get back,
[08:40] ---
    I'll show you the basement that
    I've kept secret all this time.
[08:44] ---
    Hey, Eren!
[08:46] ---
    How many times must I say
    you can't go in the basement?!
[08:49] ---
    Why aren't I allowed to?!
[08:51] ---
    Because your father keeps
    his work tools there.
[08:54] ---
    Medicine, too.
[08:55] ---
    It's dangerous for children.
[08:59] ---
    Tsk...
[09:10] ---
    Your intentions are the key.
[09:12] ---
    The key to saving humankind
    from this despair.
[09:17] ---
    We have reason to believe that the
    basement of his home in Shiganshina...
[09:20] ---
    ...houses a secret of the Titans
    that not even he is aware of.
[09:23] ---
    If we can just reach this basement,
    we may be able to obtain information
[09:28] ---
    that will help us break free from
    the Titans' century-long tyranny.
[10:02] ---
    Hey, where's your house?
[10:04] ---
    R-Right...
[11:59] ---
    Is this it?
[12:24] ---
    Hey, Dad!
[12:26] ---
    When will you show me
    what's in the basement?
[12:28] ---
    Who knows?
[12:30] ---
    Perhaps when you realize
    the most important thing of all.
SIGN    "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Basement Key" "Grisha Jaeger, having come from outside the walls and thus knowing many secrets, entrusted the basement key to his son. The basement will likely reveal the mysteries of the world which Grisha couldn't mention to anyone."
[12:56] ---
    Luckily, the fires didn't make it this far.
[13:21] ---
    Right here.
[13:22] ---
    Under this are the stairs to the basement.
[13:25] ---
    Good.
[13:49] ---
    That's a relief. It's not flooded with water.
[13:54] ---
    Let's go.
[14:16] ---
    Eren.
[14:18] ---
    Right.
[14:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:30] ---
    Eren?
[14:31] ---
    Hurry it up.
[14:35] ---
    This... This key...
    It doesn't go to this door...
[14:39] ---
    What?
[14:41] ---
    You're kidding... I'm certain that's
    the key Dr. Jaeger had.
[14:46] ---
    Step aside.
[14:47] ---
    I'll open it.
[14:48] ---
    Huh? Wait...
[14:53] ---
    Hold up...
[15:15] ---
    It almost feels like a laboratory down here.
[15:19] ---
    My dad was a doctor, so... he was always
    cooped up down here mixing medicine.
[15:24] ---
    That makes sense.
[15:27] ---
    In fact, if this medicine is all labeled
    correctly, it's stuff that's widely available.
[15:34] ---
    And since all the books here relate to medicine,
    at first glance, it's just a doctor's study.
[15:39] ---
    "There's nothing suspicious here."
[15:42] ---
    It's like that's what he
    wants people to think.
[15:45] ---
    Yeah...
[15:46] ---
    If you're hiding stuff from the Interior Police,
    you wouldn't want it out in the open.
[15:53] ---
    Hey. Quit standing around, brats.
[15:56] ---
    Erwin's hunches are rarely wrong.
[15:59] ---
    Right.
[16:20] ---
    Thanks, Mikasa. It's another all-nighter.
[16:30] ---
    Eren...
[16:33] ---
    There's a keyhole right here.
[16:41] ---
    Eren.
[16:48] ---
    It opened.
[16:56] ---
    It's empty?!
[16:57] ---
    Look closer.
[17:00] ---
    It's a false bottom.
[17:07] ---
    It smells like peppermint oil and charcoal.
[17:10] ---
    Were these treated to keep
    moisture and bugs away?
[17:14] ---
    We were looking for something...
[17:16] ---
    and these must be it.
[17:26] ---
    I wonder what it was
    my dad wanted to show me.
[17:53] ---
    That's when Erwin asked this question...
[17:57] ---
    "How do we know there's not
    more humans outside the walls?"
[18:03] ---
    He insisted that as long as we haven't
    been able to freely explore the outside,
[18:08] ---
    we can't know for sure if humanity
    was completely wiped out by Titans.
[18:13] ---
    And yet, history books declare
    the rest were wiped out.
[18:17] ---
    Hmm?
[18:18] ---
    If you consider that history books
    should maintain an objective viewpoint,
[18:22] ---
    it should read, "It is believed
    the rest of humanity was wiped out."
[18:26] ---
    You're just trying to find fault
    in anything and everything.
[18:30] ---
    I'm not! There's intent behind it!
[18:33] ---
    For example...
[18:34] ---
    To make us believe that humanity
    doesn't exist outside the walls.
[18:39] ---
    That is, by the royal government
    that issues the books.
[18:43] ---
    You're overthinking it.
[18:45] ---
    This is what they call splitting hairs.
[18:50] ---
    I was teasing him back then,
    but look at us now...
[18:54] ---
    You'll just have to apologize
    to the man himself.
[19:00] ---
    In not too long, it'll be dawn.
[19:03] ---
    If our heroes were to return,
    it's about that time...
[19:08] ---
    The Scouts returned just a moment ago!
[19:11] ---
    They successfully took back Wall Maria!
[19:37] ---
    This is... a portrait?
[19:40] ---
    Let me see that.
[19:43] ---
    No... It's far too detailed for this
    to be drawn by a person.
[19:48] ---
    That's Dr. Jaeger's writing.
[19:52] ---
    "This is no illustration.
[19:54] ---
    Instead, this uses light
    reflected off a subject...
[19:58] ---
    ...and burns the image on special paper.
[20:01] ---
    It's called a photograph.
[20:04] ---
    I come from a place outside"...
[20:06] ---
    ...the walls where humanity
    lives in elegance.
[20:10] ---
    Humanity has not perished.
[20:13] ---
    I pray the person who finds
    this book is a fellow patriot.
[21:38] ---
    Hurry, Fay! We'll lose it unless we're fast!
[21:41] ---
    Wait up, Grisha!
[21:44] ---
    You two stop right there.
[21:47] ---
    I told you not to forget
    your armbands when you go outside.
[21:51] ---
    Grisha, you absolutely
    must not leave the walls.
[21:55] ---
    Hey, wait!
[21:58] ---
    I got it, Mom!
[22:00] ---
    We'll be back!
[22:02] ---
    Come on!
[22:11] ---
    When I first thought as to how
    I should start my story...
[22:16] ---
    ...I immediately thought of that day.
[22:18] ---
    Hey!
[22:20] ---
    --Whoa!
    --Sorry!
[22:22] ---
    Grisha, be careful! Watch where you're going!
[22:27] ---
    Oh... It's leaving...
[22:31] ---
    Must be nice...
[22:33] ---
    Someday when I'm rich, will I be able
    to ride on an airship, too?
[22:39] ---
    What are you talking about?
    There's no way either of us will get rich.
[22:44] ---
    Yeah...
[22:45] ---
    But it must be nice...
[22:47] ---
    I wonder what we could see from up there.
[22:55] ---
    There it goes...
[23:11] ---
    Let's go, Fay!
[23:12] ---
    Huh?!
[23:13] ---
    My teacher said the airships take off
    and land at a place near here!
[23:17] ---
    Let's go see!
[23:18] ---
    What?! But Mom said we're
    not allowed to leave the walls!
[23:22] ---
    It'll be fine! Just for a bit!
[23:25] ---
    --We'll be right back!
[23:25] ---
    --Hey! Get back here!
    --We'll be right back!
[23:28] ---
    That naive day of my youth...
[23:31] ---
    ...when I...
[23:32] ---
    ...had to face the truth of this world.
[23:40] ---
    His story began with pulling his sister's hand
    while gazing upwards at the sky.
[23:47] ---
    The hatred and hope reflected in
    his eyes show Eren a cruel world.
