A lot of people died. 50 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,010 Is your father teaching you our actual history? 51 00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:52,810 He says Eldians did horrible things to Marleyans, so we have to atone for it. 52 00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:57,600 Do you want to become a Warrior and fight for Marley? 53 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,400 Yeah.

After all-- 67 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:24,440 The Founder Ymir wouldn't want that. It's unthinkable. 68 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,610 That's right! You're catching on, Zeke! 69 00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:29,990 Yeah! 70 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,160 If you're not serious, get lost! 71 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,370 Marley needs people willing to give everything to our motherland. 72 00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:43,540 We sure as hell won't leave a Titan in the hands of someone like you. 73 00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:54,470 Hey!

You're--! 80 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,500 One of the Marleyan Warriors you're aiming to be. 81 00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:25,420 Though, since my Beast Titan isn't too helpful in war, 82 00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:28,960 I mostly just play catch around here. 83 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,760 The name's Tom Ksaver. I work in Titan research. 84 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,930 So, what's your name? 85 00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:39,680 Zeke Jaeger! 86 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,190 Zeke, your throw has some heat!

If Zeke isn't chosen, the plan's finished! 90 00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:07,090 But the Owl said they can't influence the decision unless Zeke has decent scores. 91 00:08:07,090 --> 00:08:11,420 I know! A chance like this comes once a century! 92 00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:15,050 Doesn't Zeke still have a shot, though? 93 00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:19,100 Yeah, he might. If Zeke steps up-- 94 00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:28,480 --I'm sorry. --Zeke! 95 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,740 I know you can do it! You're our son, after all! 96 00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:39,870 I said Marley has no need for you. Why are you here? 97 00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:45,170 T-To show my loyalty to Marley and atone for Eldia's sins! 98 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:48,170 Let me in open training, please! 99 00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:09,480 What are you doing, Jaeger?! Run! Run, boy! 100 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480 Dammit! It's bullshit! 101 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,610 Don't say that! He's trying his best! 102 00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:19,740 He'll never be a Warrior like this! 103 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,620 You were a mess the other day. 104 00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:31,500 It's not funny. They're just having me run errands now. It's over for me. 105 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,470 Seemed to me that you never wanted to be a Warrior. 106 00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:43,890 I have to become one, yet I totally failed. 107 00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:47,900 No big deal. It's stupid for you to be a Warrior. 108 00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:53,650 It's dumb to shorten your life for Marley and get sent to fight other nations. 109 00:09:53,650 --> 00:09:54,990 Huh?! 110 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,870 Why did you become a Warrior? 111 00:09:59,870 --> 00:10:05,500 To learn the secrets of Titans. I'm a researcher, you know. 112 00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:11,710 Everything started when the Founder Ymir touched "something," 113 00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:15,010 but I wanted to know the truth of it all-- 114 00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:20,220 enough to shorten my life to look through Titan memories. 115 00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:24,810 That's why I'm pretty much useless when it comes to war. 116 00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:30,850 Compared to the mysteries of Titans, hatred and war seem so trivial. 117 00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:37,240 That's why you and I aren't interested in their war games. 118 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,820 We're just two decent people-- a real rarity in this world. 119 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:52,540 This is for the best. Even if I can't leave the zone, as long as I'm alive... 120 00:10:58,380 --> 00:11:02,890 We finally got a lead. They're the "Eldian Restorationists." 121 00:11:02,890 --> 00:11:04,890 It's a pretty large group. 122 00:11:04,890 --> 00:11:10,850 A traitor called the "Owl" formed it. We've got a few hunches already. 123 00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:15,980 It's just a matter of time till we get solid proof. 124 00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:18,070 Zeke? 125 00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:20,110 What's wrong? 126 00:11:20,110 --> 00:11:21,820 Eat up. 127 00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:24,700 M-My stomach hurts. 128 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:40,130 Dad, Mom... Stop doing dangerous things. 129 00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:44,510 If they find out, we'll be sent to paradise-- 130 00:11:44,510 --> 00:11:49,310 sent to the island of devils and made into Titans. 131 00:11:49,310 --> 00:11:52,810 Have you learned nothing I've taught you? 132 00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:58,530 Unless someone takes a stand, we'll live pitiful lives in this tiny cage. 133 00:11:58,530 --> 00:12:05,200 That's right. We're fighting for the future of all Eldians, including yours. 134 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,410 Even if there's a chance that I end up like Aunt Fay? 135 00:12:10,410 --> 00:12:16,170 Zeke! The only reason Fay died is because this world is twisted! 136 00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:20,260 We have to fight so nobody else ends up like her! 137 00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:25,760 We must restore the strength of Eldia and win our rights back! 138 00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:31,970 {\an3}"Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Titan Research" "Research concerning the unique power of Subjects of Ymir to become Titans.
