What choice do we have?
The world is a cruel place.
[Eren] I swore..
[Eren] To kill them all..
[Eren] Every last one!
[Narrator] And just like that. Everything changed.
[Narrator] At that terrible moment.
[Narrator] In our hearts, we knew, home was pen, humanity..cattle.
Eren!
Eren
[NICK] Brothers and sisters
Let us pray for the continued strength of saints Maria, Rose and Sina.
May they stand firm.
Their grace is a manifestation of our good faith
We give thanks to the light of the Divine architect
He whose wisdom is the mortar.
Whose sublime love for His creation is the steadfast stone.
He and he alone protects us from the Titans scourge in proportion to our worship.
Verily, innocence and obedience are all he--
No, Impossible!
Dear God. Please, not the wall.
Stay away!
Well, I daresay it looks like our boy's in control of himself this time.
Yeah. Still though... there's no guarantee
this will turn out any differently than their last meeting.
Come on, he wouldn't have transformed...
Unless he knew for sure he could take her this time.
He's got this, okay.
I don't doubt that but determination alone isn't enough to win a fight.
You of all people should know that.
It'll take more than that to beat Annie.
[Armin] A lot more.
Damn it!
She's making a break for level ground
So much for our gear! what now?
Split into two teams and go around!
Understood!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
Son of a-- Where'd they come from?
Annie..
Always so cynical.
Like every little thing around you was pointless.
Nothing worth a second look.
Every now and then, though, I could see through the act...
Especially when you were showing off your fighting skills.
Maybe hand-to-hand combat didn't count for squat against our final grade back in the Academy...
But to you?...
It was a different story altogether.
Yeah... About that much at least.
It was obvious you're a liar.
Fighting's your whole world,
But what exactly are you fighting for?
What could possibly have been worth all this death and destruction?
Oh God!
Section commander, I hate to say it but the city'll be debris and corpses before long.
[Moblit] Even if we managed to catch her.
Well, then that's how it's gonna be!
We're sticking to commander Erwin's plan, got it?
So stop babbling and ready the nets
[Moblit] Right.
Eren!
[Hitch] We didn't sign up for this!
They-- they didn't say there'd be Titans fighting in the street.
No kidding, this is crazy!
[Nile] We've got two of 'em hashing it out in the streets?
Yes sir, the city's collapsing like a house of cards.
It's just-- it's horrifying.
We can only guess how many casualties.
Erwin, your arrogance has brought hell right to our door.
I know..
I acted entirely on my own authority...
And I offer no excuses.
[Nile] You knew what this would do to us, you son of a bitch!
you knew and our lives be damned!
[Nile] Why? Damn you, why?
For Humanity..
For victory.
Don't give me that!
You're nothing but a traitor! I ought to kill you right here and now!
[Nile] None of the higher-ups would fault me!
[Erwin] Do as your conscience dictates.
[Erwin] My post is yours.
The Female Titan must not escape
Deployment is through Pier, and Beirer is in command of provisions.
Work with them closely do whatever is required to ensure she do--
[Nile] Hold. Stop it. Shut up!
Do--
Do you really believe..
[Nile] ..this is for the good of us all?
[Erwin] I have faith it's a step forward
Everyone lower your rifles.
Place this man under arrest.
Sir!
Deploy all troops immediately.
As of now... focus on evacuation.
Yes, sir!
Erwin... I hereby wash my hands of you and leave you to the High Court.
I'll accept their judgment. Thank you, Nile.
Levi, for now stay here a pointless death wouldn't suit you.
No, I doubt it would...
Any more than it suits anyone else.
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.
[Annie's father] Annie..
[Annie's father] I believe in you.
[Annie's father] I'm always on your side.
[Eren] I...
Will...
Kill them...
Every last one.
Eren!
What is he-- ?
Help him!
No!
With the state he's in, it's probably best that we keep our distance.
God!
She's headed up the wall!
She's trying to escape!
No! No! No!
We can't let her get away.
I won't let her
It's over, Annie
Now fall.
[Annie's father] Annie..
I'm so sorry..
I don't expect you to forgive me.
But... Please...
Please just...
Stand your ground..
Stand your ground even if the whole world stands against you.
Die...
All of you..
Everything.
They'll despise you..
They won't understand..
But I will... Your dad always will.
Oh no! He's gonna devour her whole!
Eren, Back off!
Don't do it!
This... is freedom!
Promise me you'll return..
That's all I ask.
What's he doing?
They're merging?
Stop it, Eren!
[Levi] It's not a good idea to eat our key evidence.
You idiot!
Eren.
Mikasa... is Annie?
Damn it.
All the shit we've been through and this is what we get?
Annie, wake up, come on, face the music, you owe us.
Don't be a coward, I know you can hear me!
That's enough.
It's over.
Someone get me a wire net,
This thing belongs deep underground.
Understood!
What have we done?
If we can't get any answers out of her,
Then what was the point of all this?
We're left with nothing but countless casualties,
ruin lives,
and unanswered questions.
All for what?
Well, it was a valiant effort, can't win them all though, right?
Right. At the very least the Scout regiments been exonerated.
Sure by the skin of its teeth, but still.
Let's hope the Brass agrees
As you might imagine we had man questions.
If the targets identity was beyond all doubt,
Why would you neglect to request aid from the military police?
Discretion. We had reason to believe she was operating in conjunction with other insiders.
I felt it was necessary to involve only those well above suspicion, Sir!
Yes, and the price of your "discretion", was the near obliteration of Stohess.
Well done.
I didn't foresee the damages scale, Sir.
Blame my incompetence-
Blame is it going to rebuild my roof
If the female Titan were left to roam free..
The wall was subject to breach.
And the damage to Stohess would have been beyond devastating.
Perhaps..
Erwin you have me grasping at straws to exonerate you.
What I need is proof that your tactics yielded some manner of benefit.
Granted, Annie Leonhart is rendered innocuous, but also essentially useless.
Yes, Sir! That she is.
Are you saying...
it was all for nothing?
Hey!
You feel okay?
Yeah.
In fact, it's weird how okay I feel.
So, is... Annie still stuck in that thing?
Yeah... You'd think after all we sacrificed to get her back fate would cut us a little slack.
It's humbling, knowing how far she'll go to keep her secrets.
Humbling? More like infuriating.
Why'd you let her go Eren?
You did... Didn't you?
You gave her an out.
I know... I didn't mean to I...
I just couldn't help it.
When I saw her face, I just froze...
Armin Arlert and Jean Kirstein, you two are up first.
Yes, Sir!
Debriefing time.
See you later, I guess.
Sure.
Honestly.. it felt kinda.. good.
Just letting go.. my body, my mind.. everything.
For a minute, it was almost like I wanted to die.
Eren, stop it.
Don't worry, I'm better now.
I'm glad..
I'm glad you're back.
I can't get my head wrapped around it.
This whole fighting fire with fire business or whatever.
Is that really the only option we've got?
Not necessarily, just the only one that's presented itself.
And now we know Eren can do it.
Yeah well, if it's that easy for the fight to turn us all into monsters.
Then maybe we don't deserve to win.
Go on.
No one ever promised us we'd come out of this unscathed.
[Erwin] For nothing?
I believe this latest tragedy has moved us forward by leaps and bounds, Sir.
Not long ago, we hadn't even imagined the possibility of humans transforming into Titans .
Now we're not only aware of the enemy in our midst.
We've managed to capture one of them.
Make no mistake, there are more out there.
And we will hunt down every last one.
The initiative is ours starting now
We launch an Attack on the Titans within our walls.
The Scout regiments recalled to the capital and Eren's incarceration were rescinded.
Instead. They were charged with guarding Annie Leonhart and her holding cell deep underground.
Where they kept strict vigil day and night.
Sadly, however..
It would take a far longer time, and cost a great many more lives
For Humanity to discover the true nature, of what it held captive.
