You know, Armin..
It's nice, that I could be, a "good person" for you.
For now, at least, it looks like you won your bet.
But..
I'm going to gamble too..
And here's my wager!
[Erwin] We believe we've uncovered the female Titan's true identity.
[Erwin] She's one of us.
[Eren] Annie!
[Levi] What's the holdup?
Erwin's never late.
They should be here.
At this rate the damn MPs will show up first.
That'd be our luck.
Yeah, who can say?
Maybe they're all taking a shit. duty calls, right?
You're--sure in a talkative mood today.
[Levi] So what if I am.
[Levi] Doesn't mean I was talking to you.
It's my fault, Sir.
I made the choice, if I'd have thought this through none of this--
We wouldn't
You made a judgment call
Look, no one expects you to be clairvoyant
[Erwin] Sorry to keep you waiting.
Sir!
What the..
Why--why are you all here
We believe we've uncovered the female Titan's true identity.
She won't slip away this time.
[Erwin] The day after tomorrow
[Erwin] We'll be passing through Stohess district en route to the capital.
[Erwin] That's when we'll strike.
It'll be our first and only chance to do so.
Once we've set foot in the interior the government will assume custody of Eren
And the scouts authority to continue operations will be limited
Thus..
Unless we wish to concede defeat..
We must flush out the enemy now.
So here's what we do
While in Stohess we use Eren as bait
Luring the target into this underground passage
The deeper the better
Get her well beneath street level
That done she should be easily immobilized, even in Titan form.
If she transforms before reaching the tunnel
Well at that point, she'll be your responsibility, Eren.
Right
So we know she'll be in Stohess?
There's no chance she'll bolt before we get there?
No she won't risk going AWOL
Wait, you mean she's..
Armin, here, identified her
She's an MP
Likely responsible for the deaths of Hange's test subjects
And a fellow trainee in the 104 Cadet Corps
You can't be serious!
I trained with her?
I'm sorry, but yes, she's one of us.
No, It can't be.
Her name, is Annie Leonhart.
[Armin] God!
[Armin] No
Damn it, that ring.
She must've known I was lying to her from the very beginning!
She knew we were leading her into a trap.
[Armin] I could've-- I should've taken a different approach.
Save the "should've's" for after we're out of this
The question now is what do we do next
Okay, first we rendezvous squad Three.
Then get the hell above ground
We-- We fight her out in the open
That means we're switching to Plan B.
She's all yours, Eren.
Got it?
Yeah!
Over here!
[Armin] Squad Three
Hey, what happened? is Plan A a no-go?
Afraid so, yes.
As of now we're going with the backup option!
[Armin] She caved in the ceiling
We've got to pull them out of there-
Eren, get back!
What? No, wait!
[Mikasa] What was that?
Does she not care if she kills you, too?
[Armin] She took a chance
It was risky but she gambled on Eren's being able to survive.
We're dealing with someone who's been backed into a corner
[Armin] She's desperate, that makes her all the more dangerous!
Damn it!
We're cut off
If we try to get airborne with our ODM gear she'll swat us, like flies.
And if we--
If we stay here it's only a matter of time before we're crushed.
I know what I have to do..
I'll change!
I'll shield you guys just like that time with the cannon fire
[Eren] Get in close
[Armin] But..
Alright. Brace yourselves!
Oh no!
Not again!
Why now?
We don't have time for this
Just work, damn it.
Don't try to force it. You have to have a clear goal in mind like Hange said!
C'mon you can do this, we know you can!
Believe me, I'm trying.
Really?
Are you sure you're not having second thoughts?
Doubts about Annie?
[Armin] Eren!
It's her, the female Titan.
No matter how much you don't want to believe it, that won't stop it from being true.
What did we see. Back there, just now.
She's a murderer, period.
This isn't complicated.
Get of my back dammit I'm not stalling for time.
[Eren] You think it's Annie?
Where's--
Where's your evidence tell me
Obviously the female Titan knew what you looked like before she attacked.
Plus, she reacted to my use of your "suicidal maniac" nickname,
something only our classmates would know.
But the biggest reason I suspect her,
I that I have strong reason to believe she's the one who killed Sawney and Beane.
You're kinda going out on a limb there
Killing two Titans at once required a precision ODM strike.
It only makes sense that the killer would have used the gear they were most familiar with
But. There was that whole equipment inspection
Annie is totally checked out.
Except..the gear she presented, well it--
It wasn't hers, it was Marco's
I don't understand
what's Margo
got to do with all this
it's unclear
Maybe you need to get your eyes checked
[Armin] Eren!
I know what I saw--
[Levi] Okay we get it. Do you have anything else on her?
Any sort of concrete evidence?
nothing sir
There's the fact that she looks like the female Titan, that's it.
Really? what the hell's wrong with you? What kinda evidence is that?
So basically, we're going after her without proof.
You're kidding me, right? This is insane!
What if it's not her?
What if she's not the monster you all say she is?
If it's not her, she'll be cleared, end of story.
No one wants to condemn her prematurely, least of all me.
But..either we make a move on circumstantial evidence,
or we sit back and let the central government condemn you.
Do you even hear yourselves, you're talking about Annie.
Eren don't stand there, and tell me this conversation isn't ringing any bells
You fought hand-to-hand against the female Titan
Was there anything about her techniques that seemed familiar?
Dig deep.
It's Annie..
You know it is.
and you know you have to fight
Unless--Unless there's something deeper, keeping you from it.
What?
I know what we have to do
Mikasa will head for that opening at the same time I'll make a run for the exit
I'm sure Annie will go for one of us
when she does run in the opposite direction for all you're worth
Are you out of your mind?
What the hell good's it gonna do if one of you gets killed?
If we stay here, all three of us will.
Mikasa, you ready?
Yeah, good luck.
Mikasa!, Armin!
Don't do this
I'm not worth it. You hear me?
[Eren] You don't have to go!
What choice do we have?
The world is a cruel place.
Oh no! Eren!
I won't let you take him, not this time.
Eren!
Hold on, I'm coming
C'mon stay with me.
Don't let her get away!
We have to contain her
What ever it takes!
what's going on
Escort squad, have a look.
I'll hold this position.
Sir, yes, Sir!
This is bad. What in the hell could be going on this fall in?
[Erwin] Nile, deploy all troops immediately.
We should assume that a Titan has already appeared.
Are you out of your mind?
This is wall Sina
There's no way a Titan would just suddenly show up here.
Who told you to move, Jaeger?
How about this damn wig said I could, moron?
[Jean] Call me Jaeger again and it's your ass, you got that?
Commander, what's the plan
Ask squad Four for equipment
Sir!
Like the brass balls, but try not to swing him so hard they get you killed.
Sir.
[Nile] Hold on, what the hell?
Commander, here!
Well done!
Thank you sir
Wait just a damn minute.
All right,
All of you with me, we're rendezvousing with the capture squad.
[Nile] No, the hell's you will!
This is outright treason
I am well within my rights to shoot you where you stand.
Think, Nile..
I find it hard to believe you're actually as thick-headed as you look
You're a hair-trigger away from making the biggest mistake of your life.
Take off the gear before I shoot you
It's a Titan..It's a Titan!
How is it even this far in?
Something happened to the wall!
Whoa, so that's what they look like.
Evidently, Yeah.
[Jean] Watch it.
Useless MP bastards.
Can't believe there was a time I'd have given my left arm to be one of them.
I don't know what the hell I was ever thinking
Right, don't kill her, our orders say we only have to stop her.
Dammit, it's like she knows every move we're gonna make in advance.
Try that with me..
I dare you!
Eren, talk to me, wake up.
What the hell's going on?
Help me, he's stuck in here.
Why didn't he just change into a Titan?
He couldn't transform like I--
I think there's something holding him back from being able to take on Annie
What?
We'll worry about that when he's safe
Help me get him out
He couldn't do it?
That's it! enough of your bullshit, Eren.
Did I or did I not tell you this day would eventually come
Look at yourself
Our fate's in your hands
We're out there putting our lives on the line and this is all we can expect from our last best hope?
Is this what Marco..what he..
Dammit!
Eren!
Leave him, we can't do anything until we take care of her.
Listen..
I said something to Jean recently.
To rise above monsters, we have to abandon our humanity.
What we fight we become, fire with fire.
Look at her, Annie can do it
I don't know why, but there it is, simple.
You have to match her heartlessness to win
Annie
Are you going to kill me, or not?
I seem to remember you making a wager, Well, here's your chance to make good on it.
Armin, follow my lead.
You got it.
[Hange] Yes, Yes!
[Moblit] Commander, you--
[Moblit] You've got that look in your eye again.
[Hange] Nice! And here I was convinced having a Plan C
[Hange] was nothing short of paranoid
Oh Commander Erwin, you're a genius.
Right so,
Do us a favor.
Behave yourself
Oh, calling your co-horts to dinner isn't an option.
So let's not waste that lovely singing voice
in fact let's not waste anything
No, no, I'm going to read you like bull entrails.
Every party of you has its own precious story to tell.
She broke free?
Oh dammit, we didn't have time to set enough traps!
Don't let her get away!
[Armin] To rise above monsters..
[Armin] ..We have to abandon our humanity!
Yeah, I know..
That's why..
[Eren] ..That why my comrades died.
[Eren] Because I couldn't let go
I swore..
To kill them all..
Every last one.
[Eren] Right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore.
[Eren] Just kill. Consequences be damned! Damned!
[Armin] Mikasa!
[Eren] Because it is a cruel world
[Nile] What now?
Eren!
Eren
I'm going to kill them all, every last one, a vow made in the throes of fury and
Despair takes on a new and terrible meaning for death recognizes no boundary
