Attack on Titan (2013) s01e19 Episode Script

Draw your blades.
If we see it, it'll only be for a second.
Go! It's fast! In these trees, there's no way to foresee and evade its attacks! It'll catch us! Captain, let's switch to Maneuver Gear! Captain! You won't escape! Reinforcements from the rear! Captain, your orders?! Let's go for it! It's dangerous We should kill it! At this rate, it will catch up with us! We kill it here That's why we came to this forest! Right, Captain? Captain, your orders! Everyone, cover your ears.
Bite A noise grenade? What is your job? To just let yourself be swayed by whatever you're feeling at the moment? No, it's not.
Our squad's job is to keep the brat from getting a single scratch on him.
Even if it costs our lives.
It wasn't to keep watch on me? We keep going on our horses, got it? Roger! Keep going? For how long? And it's right on top of us Again! The reinforcements! If we don't help, they'll be wiped out again! Eren, eyes on the road! Sir! Keep your pace up Stay at top speed! But, sir Why?! If Squad Levi doesn't defeat it, who will? Another one's dead And maybe we could've saved him! One's still fighting We could still make it! Eren, eyes back on the road! Keep going! Are you telling me to look away? To abandon my comrades and run?! Yes, that's right! Obey the Captain's orders! I don't understand why we're leaving them to die! Or why he won't explain! Why?! That's because the Captain decided the reason should not be explained.
You just don't understand because you're still green! If you get it, then shut up and obey! No I can fight on my own.
Why am I relying on others? I can just fight on my own.
What are you doing, Eren? You're only allowed to do that if your life is in danger.
You promised us! Eren! You aren't wrong.
If you want to, do it.
I can tell.
He's a real monster.
And it has nothing to do with his Titan power.
No matter what power you use to suppress him, no matter what cage you put him in, he will never submit to anyone.
I just want to slaughter the Titans.
Eren, the difference between your decision and ours is experience.
But you don't have to rely on that.
Choose.
Believe in yourself.
Or believe in the Survey Corps and me.
I don't know I never have.
I can believe in my own abilities or the choices of companions I trust.
But no one ever knows how it will turn out.
So choose for yourself whichever decision you'll regret least.
Eren! Have faith! I came up with a way that'd only half-kill you.
Sir? I said I'd only be able to stop you as a Titan if I killed you.
But this method would only badly wound you.
Of course, it relies on the squad's skill.
The idea is to cut you right out of the Titan's neck.
We'd end up cutting the ends of your arms and legs off, but they'd just grow back like a lizard's Creepy, really.
Wait.
I don't know how they grow back.
Is there some other way So you're saying you don't want there to be any danger or sacrifice? N-No Then just resolve yourself.
We will, too The danger for us is that you might kill us.
So don't worry.
Yes Understood.
Th-Then, I can do experiments? It's very risky.
But that doesn't mean that we can't use him to investigate.
I can be in charge of planning this, right? Eren, if there's something you don't understand, learn to understand it.
It's well worth any risk to our lives.
Ready, Eren? When it's prepared, I'll use the smoke round to notify you.
After that, any decisions are up to you.
Roger! This dried-up well could hold even a mindless Titan Probably! That's the signal.
Since I sealed the wall, I haven't tried to control the Titan.
If I lose control, Squad Levi might kill me this time Did he not see the signal? No His ability just isn't that reliable.
Hey, Eren! We're calling it quits for now.
Did something happen? Hanji I can't become a Titan.
So your self-inflicted bite wounds on your hands aren't healing, either? No.
If you can't transform into a Titan, our main goal of sealing Wall Maria is off the table.
This is an order Make it happen.
Yes, sir.
Don't let it get you down, Eren.
But Well, it just means you're more human than I thought.
Better than rushing into something and getting killed.
This isn't meaningless.
Yeah We can't be too careful.
Why is everyone so calm? Are they okay with my being unable to turn into a Titan? Are you okay? Yes Hey What's that? What was that explosion? Why now?! Calm down.
Captain Levi! This is I said to calm down.
All of you.
What? What was that sound? Eren What's the meaning of this?! Sir? Why now? Without permission? Answer me! Eldo, wait.
Answer him, Eren! What are you thinking? No, that can wait Prove you're not our enemy, humanity's enemy! Prove it! Now! That is your responsibility! I dare you to make a single move with that arm! I'll cut off your head! I can do it I'm serious! Want to try me? Oluo, I said to calm down.
Captain, get away from Eren! You're too close! No, you're the ones who should get back.
Get back.
Why?! My intuition.
What's wrong, Eren? Say something! Like I said No sudden movements! Prove it to me, Eren! I said I don't understand.
Answer us! You think we can't kill you? I'm serious! Do it now! Are you even listening? Okay, let's do this! Are you humanity's Please shut up for a second! Eren! Can I touch that arm?! It's okay, right? Right? Just let me touch it! Hanji Wait a second! It's hot! Without the skin, it's really damned hot! Unbelievably hot! Squad Leader, you're too reckless! Hey, don't you feel it's hot, Eren? How does it feel where the right hand connects? I really want to see! That's right If I just pull out this hand Stupid thing! Hey, Eren Don't do anything rash! What?! Wait, Eren That was too fast! I still wanted to investigate some things Captain How do you feel? Not Not so good Until I saw that they were actually ready to kill me, I didn't understand That they doubted me so much.
Of course they do.
That's why I chose them.
People say you only truly become a full member of the Survey Corps after making it back alive from a mission.
But whenever you fight the Titans, you never have enough information.
There are too many situations you just can't anticipate, no matter what.
They've had to cultivate the ability to take quick action and to make ruthless decisions by assuming the worse case scenario.
But that doesn't mean they've become heartless.
It's not like they felt nothing when they turned their swords on you.
Captain Levi Squad Leader Hanji wants to see you.
Take a long crap? Actually, it was pleasantly quick.
I wasn't sure what to tell the brass.
Well, for now Look at this.
A teaspoon? Yes.
The right Titan hand Eren created was holding this.
Like this, between its index finger and thumb.
It's hard to imagine that was an accident And for some reason, the heat and pressure didn't warp the spoon at all.
Anything come to mind? I was trying to pick it up I transformed right after.
I see That may explain why you couldn't transform earlier.
"Kill the Titans.
" "Block the cannon shell.
" "Lift the boulder.
" In each case, you had a clear goal before you transformed.
My theory is that your self-inflicted injury probably isn't the sole trigger.
You may need some goal, as well.
It's true that when I turned into a Titan this time, it was like when I blocked that cannon shell.
But I turned into a Titan to pick up a spoon? What the hell is this? In other words, you didn't deliberately change without permission? No, sir.
Huh? Eh? Wait, what are you doing? That hurt This isn't easy.
I'm amazed you can bite through, Eren.
We made the wrong decision.
This is a small price to pay.
Not that it makes a difference.
Keeping you under control is our job.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
So don't get cocky! I'm sorry, Eren We've been so jumpy.
You must be disappointed in our stupidity.
However, even so We're going to rely on you.
And we want you to rely on us.
So Have faith in us Eren! You're taking too long! Decide! I'll go forward! Let me go! I'm sorry! Target is accelerating! Go! We will outrun it.
It's impossible to outrun it If we keep running away, it'll stomp us all flat! But We might all die, but everyone chose to go on, even if it meant abandoning our comrades.
Captain Levi has been looking forward this whole time.
And the rest of the squad believe in him, and put all their trust in him.
I'll believe in them, too Like they believed in me! Fire! Advance a bit farther, tether the horses, and switch to Maneuver Gear.
You guys will be off on your own for a while.
Eldo, lead the squad.
Once you're a good distance away from the Titan, hide Eren.
Take my horse.
He can't intend to take that Titan alive? Well, Eren? See that? We caught that Titan! This is the power of the Survey Corps! Don't underestimate us, fool.
Well? Do you get it now? Yes! Looks like it's stopped moving We can't lower our guard.
But you did well, leading it here.
Men in the rearguard squads died buying us the time we needed.
We couldn't have done it without them.
Is that so? It is.
Thanks to them, we'll be able to see who's inside this thing.
I hope they haven't pissed themselves Erwin Smith's secret plan was to capture the Female Titan.
The aces of the Survey Corps try to reveal its true identity, but
