[TITAN 29A laughing]
[NANABA] Rookies! Stay where you are!
We've got this.
Let the ODM gear do what it was designed for.
Attack!
[HENNING] Someone was here not that long ago.
[NANABA] A place this close to the wall?
[LYNNE] Bandits probably used it as a hideout.
[NANABA] A sign on the way in said "Ruins of Utgard Castle."
I didn't know there was a historical site around here.
Hey, take a look at what I just stumbled on.
You're kidding! Is that what I think it is?
Uh-huh.
Can't really read the label, though.
[LYNNE] You're not gonna drink it now?
[gasps]
Don't be smart. I'm gonna save it for later.
You know, there are worse ways to spend a night
than having access to top-shelf contraband.
[NANABA] Careful. You're starting
to sound like an outlaw.
[chuckles]
[GELGAR] I want you kids to try and get some rest.
There shouldn't be any Titans crawling around
at this time of night, but we'll take turns keeping watch.
[GELGAR] Be ready to leave four hours shy of daybreak.
'Scuse me. What if it turns out
that Wall Rose isn't actually compromised?
Where do, uh--
Where else could they be coming from?
It's our job to find out.
Starting tomorrow.
I'm just saying. The situation isn't good, sure.
But is it as bad as we think?
Y'never know, right? That's all.
She's right.
We haven't really seen that many Titans.
I mean, for them to have busted through the wall, anyway.
[NANABA] Only with the initial sighting,
a relatively modest handful.
[YMIR] Conny? What about your village?
Totally destroyed.
It was crushed to tinder and bits of rubble.
I'm, uh-- I'm sorry.
Nobody got devoured, though.
Looked like they all got out,
so there's a silver lining, at least.
I thought that you said it was destroyed?
Well, the houses and stuff were,
but the people themselves must've all escaped.
I mean, they had to've.
The thing is... we didn't see any blood anywhere.
Not so much as one drop.
That's the only possible explanation.
Still, though. Something I can't get out of my head.
There was a Titan on top of our house.
Just lying there. Staring at me.
It couldn't move on its own, thank god.
But, I just-- I have no idea why,
but it reminded me of my mom.
Am I crazy?
Conny. What did I tell you?
--It was your imagination-- --[YMIR] Are you for real?
[laughs]
You actually think your mom might be a Titan?
Oh, honey! As itty-bitty as you are? Please!
We all knew you were dumb as a bag of rocks, but this?
Whoa, man! This takes it to whole other level!
[laughs]
Ha-ha. Yeah. Have your fun.
Guess I was kinda asking for it.
Don't stop there: If Mother-darling's a Titan,
it's only logical to assume dear ol' Daddy is, too.
Basic biology. Think about it. How else--
Okay, I get it! Shut up and go to sleep!
[door clicks, creaks]
[REINER] Ymir? What are you doing?
Heh. Seriously? What're you doing?
Here to ravage me?
Don't take this wrong way,
but I didn't think you were all that into girls.
Really? Well, since we're on the subject,
I didn't think you were all that into guys.
Heh. If you must know I'm scavenging for leftovers
like a street urchin.
I'd prefer not to meet my maker on an empty stomach.
[door creaks]
[REINER] Look, the whole thing earlier with Conny.
Were you teasing him to get his mind off of things?
It'd be great if you could keep that up.
The less he dwells on his family right now, the better.
What are you talking about?
Huh. This might be good.
Herring's not my favorite, but whatever.
[REINER] Herring, huh? Can I see?
Help yourself.
I can't believe there's canned food here.
[gasps]
What, the-- Wait, what is this?
I can't read a word of it.
How do you know this says "herring"?
This, uh, label. It's in another language.
Ymir. How can you--?
Everyone, wake up!
Get to the tower immediately!
[GELGAR] Bother someone else.
I should be drinking right now, damn it!
You're standing between me and a tankard of ale!
[NANABA] Attack!
Think it's gonna be that easy, big guy?
I got news for ya! Aah!
[NANABA yells]
[GELGAR] Hot damn!
You little ones should watch where you're going! Heh!
Dumb-asses.
I don't think you're one to talk.
There's no call to be so reckless.
Did you have to waste your blades?
That's just how I do things.
You'd better chalk that one up as an assist.
Aren't you the hero. I'll think about it.
[grunts]
[LYNNE] Oh, no. I'm too late.
The door's been kicked down!
Titans are in the castle!
Get below and improvise some sort a barricade!
Be careful. Retreat back up here only as a last resort!
Now hurry. The rest of us will keep any more
from getting in as best we can.
There are quite a few. So this might be it for us.
But by god we'll fight to the last breath.
Our heart and soul to the cause, right? Now go!
[ALL] Got it!
I'll go see how far they've gotten in.
You find something to board up the entrance!
Whatever isn't nailed down!
Reiner, wait!
What the hell?
Hang on, we're coming! Wait up!
Are you kidding me?
Why's he always gotta be the first one to step up?
Give us a break!
I know. It's a habit of his.
[REINER] Are they in the tower?
The door's still barred.
Not that that'll keep 'em out for long.
[growls lowly]
[REINER groans]
They're in the tower!
Get down here and help me!
[TITAN 29C growls]
[REINER] Is this it? Is this how I go out?
Son of a bitch!
[REINER] No. Not yet.
I refuse!
[REINER] I'm going back home!
Reiner!
[yells]
[TITAN 29C groans]
Talk to me, man. Are you good?
Yes! Listen to me.
We're gonna make it home!
This is not how we die!
Yeah, I know. Damn right!
Guys! Heads up! Incoming!
Where'd you find--? Good work! Is there ammo?
Yeah, right, if only!
It was pure luck that we found this.
Get out of the way!
[YMIR] May miracles never cease. Huzzah.
[REINER] Yeah. It's not getting up from that.
Good thing it was a little one.
What now? A knife's the only thing we got.
Should I cut the nape, or--?
Don't risk it. Get grabbed, you'll get hurt.
[CHRISTA] Then, I think it would be best
if we head back upstairs for now.
We have no way of knowing if that's
the only one who got in.
Huh?
[CHRISTA] Conny!
Huh?
[CHRISTA] Conny!
[REINER yells]
Reiner, no!
[gasps]
[REINER grunts, groans]
Holy-- What're you doing?
Wait. Are you?
Are you gonna jump out the window with it?
We've got no other choice.
No! Wait! Just give me a second!
I think I can slice its jaw open!
--[CONNY] There! --[REINER groans]
[YMIR, CONNY, REINER gasp]
[CONNY] What do we do if another one gets in?
Not like we'll find another cannon lying around, am I right?
Probably. Lightning won't strike twice.
--[grunts] --Sorry, I know it stings.
Plus, the bone's most likely fractured.
Of course. It's about how my luck runs.
We'll need a splint and a bandage. Easy enough.
[REINER gasps]
[cloth tearing]
[CHRISTA] The cloth's filthy.
I haven't been able to wash it in forever. I'm sorry.
No sweat. It does the job.
[REINER] Marry me.
So you gonna be all right or what?
Think so. Probably.
Y'know, Christa, I, uh--
I got a little scratched up myself.
Ugh. So just spit on it or somethin'.
Anyway, sorry about all that, man.
Seems like you're always having to save my ass.
You and everyone else.
Even Annie put herself on the line for me once.
I owe you. A lot.
No, no. It's fine.
We have each other's back.
It's what soldiers do.
I don't know.
I doubt I could ever be that courageous.
Has he always been like this?
The self-sacrificing type?
No. He's changed a bit.
In the old days, Reiner was more of a warrior.
Warrior? I'm not quite sure I understand.
[YMIR] Anyway, let's scrounge around for stuff we can use.
If I have to die, I'd rather not do it
'cause we're being half-assed.
Oh, wow. Well, all right then.
Say what you will, the Scouts get shit done.
[NANABA grunts]
[yells]
[GELGAR] That's mostly it for the big ones.
Good thing we have this tower.
No kidding. Think we might just survive the night.
We'll check on the recruits.
Okay.
What the hell's that noise?
[BOTH gasp]
[NANABA] The horses!
[BOTH gasp]
There it is again!
Wh-Where's it coming from?
--[rumble] --[BOTH gasp]
[NANABA] Lynne! Henning!
Oh shit!
[GELGAR] They're dead. Died instantly.
This can't...
[gasps] He did this!
The one that made a B-line for the wall!
Hairy son of a bitch is randomly--
[gasps]
Heads up, guys!
We've got twice as many as before!
You're kidding!
It's like they're timing these attacks
as some part of a larger strategy.
This isn't random at all.
We're being toyed with.
[BEAST TITAN roars]
[ALL gasp]
[grunts]
[NANABA] Damn it. I'm running out of gas!
C'mon, go down!
[gasps]
[GELGAR] Tower's not gonna hold.
Hey, my ODM gear's low on juice. Yours?
Fresh out. And I've worn my blades down to the nub.
Please tell me those aren't the only ones you've got left.
'Fraid so.
[GELGAR] How many dead Titans the four of us rack up?
[NANABA] Couldn't say.
I was too preoccupied to keep count.
[GELGAR] Yeah, well. I'm thinkin' I didn't do too bad.
Heh. Oh, man.
What's a guy gotta do to get a drink around here?
This isn't the time for-- [gasps]
I'm sorry, Nanaba.
I must've bashed my head.
I-I don't think... I can... hang on...
[NANABA] Gelgar!
[grunts]
Gelgar, no!
That's it. That's everything I've got.
[gasps]
[GELGAR gasps, coughs]
[breathes laboringly]
[gasps]
There is a god.
Oh, come on. This isn't fair.
Why would you do me that way?
[groans]
Who drank my goddamn booze?
[bottle breaks]
[CONNY] They got him.
Christa, what're you doing? Stop!
The tower's gonna give any second!
You have to stay still!
Let go! They're dying in our place!
--[CHRISTA] Nanaba. Gelgar. --[NANABA] No! No! Stop it!
Please! I'm sorry, Daddy!
I'll be a good girl from now on, I promise!
No, Daddy! No--!
--[squelch] --[BOTH gasp]
Aah! Goddamn it! Now what?
We sit around waiting for the tower to collapse
and let ourselves get eaten alive?
That's it? There's nothing else we can do?
This is bullshit. We'll be wiped out
before getting to finish what we started.
[grunts]
No, this-- This isn't over yet.
If I could find a weapon, I'd go down fighting.
At least try to be worthy of the people who died for us.
Christa, please. Enough with that
kinda crap already, okay?
Don't use their deaths as an excuse.
They didn't sacrifice themselves so you could
fulfill some fantasy about going out in a blaze of glory.
[CHRISTA gasps] Ymir! You know
that's not what I meant!
And you damn-well know you're not like Conny
and the others!
They're in this to give humanity a fighting chance.
Deep down all you care about
is having the word "hero" carved on your epitaph.
That-That's not it at all.
[YMIR] Conny. Where's that knife you had?
[CONNY] Huh? Why?
[YMIR] Just give it here.
Fine. Whatever.
You're very sweet, thanks.
[CONNY] What do you even need it for?
Hm. Not much. I'm, uh...
...just gonna give 'em a little hell.
Okay, then. So, do you have a plan?
If I do, we'll learn what it is together.
Ymir.
[YMIR] Christa. Listen to me.
I realize you've probably forgotten.
[rumble]
But, since we're facing the end, try to think back.
Remember that oath that we made on the snowy mountain.
I have no business telling you how to live your life.
It's not my place.
So, I guess when you break it down,
this is really just more of a hope.
Christa. Live a life you can be proud of.
[gasps]
Never forget the promise we made.
Ymir, wait!
--[REINER, BERTHOLDT gasp] --[CHRISTA yells]
[CHRISTA] Ymir!
[grunts]
[yells]
♪ Closing Song ♪
[NARRATOR] "Live a life you can be proud of."
With those words, Ymir unleashes
a terrible power few suspected.
Between her and Christa is an unbreakable bond.
A promise made in the depths of their shared past.
Even as Ymir reveals herself,
Christa, too, transforms.
Shedding the veneer she's clung to for so long.
