Attack on Titan (2013) s01e24 Episode Script
Mercy - Assault on Stohess (2)
Armin, I'm glad I could be a good person for you.
You've won your bet.
But this is where my gamble begins! We've identified the person likely to be the female-form Titan.
Her name is Annie! O, my friend! This is a victory for us! Our fame starts here! O, my friend! Let us celebrate this victory for the next battle! "I died for naught" â I won't let it end like that for you until I am the last one standing The enemy is cruel We will kill The enemy is colossal We will jump In our hands we hold blades of glory and sing in the name of victory We bear the wings of freedom on our backs Swearing iron determination upon our hearts, we slash apart the circle of idiocy and soar through the sky with our wings of freedom Mercy Raid on Stohess District (pt 2) A few days earlier They're late.
Erwin and his damn folk are making me wait.
Our Military Police escorts are gonna arrive first.
Maybe he's constipated again.
You're quite talkative today, Captain.
Cut me some slack.
Talkativeness is in my personality.
I'm sorry.
It was all my fault.
If only I'd made the right decision I told you.
No one could have foreseen the outcome.
Sorry for being late.
Not at all.
You guys Excuse me We've identified the person likely to be the female-form Titan.
This time we will catch her.
The operation will begin the day after tomorrow.
The location is Stohess, where we'll be passing en route to the royal court.
This is our one and only chance.
If we can't escape there, you'll inevitably fall into the hands of the authorities.
Then it'll be even harder to pursue those who scheme to destroy the Walls.
Mankind's annihilation will become even more imminent.
We must bet everything we have on this operation.
The plan is at follows: While we're passing through Stohess, Eren, you'll act as bait to lure the target to this tunnel.
If you can bring her into its depths, then even if she transforms, she won't have the space to utilize her power.
But if by any chance she transforms before then, we'll have to rely on you, Eren.
Yes, sir.
Are we certain our target is in Stohess? Yes.
She's in the Police.
The Police? Armin figured it all out.
She's also suspected of killing those two captive Titans.
She might be your former fellow cadet from the 104th.
Hold on now! The 104th?! The name of the woman suspected to be the female-form is Wait Annie Leonhardt.
Shit! Damn! The way she was acting She must've seen through me right away! She knew we were gonna ambush her underground! There must've been some other way! You'll have time to think about that later.
What should we do now? First of all, we need to rendezvous with Team 3 on the surface then according to the backup plan, fight Annie the female-form Titan.
Eren, you'll have to transform and assist with her capture.
That okay? Yeah.
Hey! It's Team 3! Did your capture attempt fail? It did! Move on to the next sta She kicked it in?! We have to help them! Eren! Back! Hey, Mikasa! That bitch wouldn't mind killing Eren? She risked it She smashed open the tunnel hoping she wouldn't kill you.
It's crazy, but that just makes her even scarier! Annie will be trying as hard as she can to catch you! What should we do? She cut off our escape.
Even if we jumped out using our gear, she'd ambush us the instant we surfaced.
On the other hand, if we stay here it's just a matter of time until we're crushed.
I'll handle this! Like that time with the cannonball! Come here! Let's do this! Stay close to me! Not again! Why now?! Why now?! It hurts! So you can't transform unless it's for a specific, concrete reason? Clear your mind! Focus on it again! I'm trying! Aren't you really just hesitating to fight Annie? Eren? Don't tell me that you still refuse to accept that she's the female-form? What just happened right before your eyes? That bitch killed your comrades! You still refuse to accept that? Shut up! You're not helping! Annie's the female-form Titan? Why? Why would you say that, Armin? She knew your face from the beginning.
Not to mention, she reacted when I referred to how you "sought to die so soon," which nobody outside the And mostly because I'm pretty sure she killed Sawney and Bean, the two experimental subjects.
But why? One would need quite the skill to kill those two.
The culprit would've used their own 3D Maneuver Gear, since they'd be accustomed to it.
So that's why we had a gear check? But Annie wasn't caught.
Because she brought Marco's to the check.
That's how she passed.
What? What does Marco have to do with this? I don't know.
Are you sure you're not mistaken? No, I'm pretty certain.
I got that, kid.
Do you have any other evidence? I don't.
In my opinion, the female-form resembles Annie.
What? What are you even saying?! Is that all you So we've got no proof, but we'll still do it.
No proof? What? Then why? What if it isn't Annie? If it's not Annie, then she'll be cleared of suspicion.
True, we'll have put her through a terrible ordeal.
But if we do nothing, you'll be sacrificed to Central's whims.
It's just not right to doubt Annie.
.
Eren, after hearing that it might be Annie, has anything come to mind? You fought the female-form in hand-to-hand combat.
Did she use any of Annie's typical moves? You know it too.
Annie is the female-form Titan.
So why aren't you fighting? Are other feelings holding you back? What?! I've got a plan! Mikasa and I will exit that hole and the entrance at the same time.
Annie will have to follow one of us.
That should buy you time to run the other way! Wait! That means one of you is going to die! If we keep sitting here, it'll be all three of us! Mikasa! On my mark! Okay! I'll go that way! Mikasa! Armin! How? How can you fight?! How?! We've got no choice.
It's a cruel world out there.
Eren! Annie! I'm not letting you have Eren! Eren! Eren! I'm going for you! Eren! Wake up! Don't let the female-form get away! We can't let her out of here! What's going on?! Backup team! Leave this to us! Go check it out! Yes, sir! This is weird.
That explosion and Nile! Dispatch all of your soldiers.
It's probably a Titan.
What are you saying? This is Wall Sina! There can't possibly be Titans in here! Stop! Don't move, Jaeger! I've tired of playing dress-up! Never call me that again, asshole! Commander, I'll go as well.
Get your gear from Team 4.
Yes, sir.
Having a fiery spirit is good, but don't forget how to stay alive.
Yes, sir.
Erwin, what Commander, here! Thank you.
Hey, Erwin All that can move, mobilize! We must assist with the capture of the female-form! Erwin, stop! What you're doing is a clear rebellion against the King! No.
Is your head as hollow as that gun barrel? You haven't a clue what's going on, by the looks of it.
Dismantle your gear, Erwin! A Titan! There's a Titan! How did it get here?! Dude That's a Titan.
But how? Outta my way! Just stay standing, dammit! I wanted to be one of them.
What about now? Shit! Don't even try taking it down! It'll be enough if we can just hold it back! It's hopeless! It can see right through the movements of the 3D Maneuver Gear! You won't get rid of me so easily! Eren! Answer me! Eren! What are you doing?! Jean! Eren's under here! What?! Wasn't he supposed to transform into a Titan? He couldn't! Probably because the female-form was actually Annie.
What?! We have to get him out! Help, Jean! He couldn't?! What the fuck were you thinking, Eren?! I told you we'd all be counting on you! Is this our payback for placing mankind's future and our very survival in your hands?! Marco Marco Eren? Shit! We've gotta bitchslap that skank first! Eren, remember what you told Jean before? You can't change anything unless you can discard part of yourself too.
To surpass monsters, you must be willing to abandon your humanity.
Annie can do that, I bet.
I don't know what her goal is, though.
But whoever can pull it off, wins! Annie! If you don't kill me now, next time you won't have time to place your bet! Armin, this way! Roger! Coming She's coming Squad Leader, your eyes are glowing maniacally.
Okay! I didn't think we'd need another backup plan, but you're just insane.
Commander Erwin is quite the guy.
Now then Be a good girl for me, will you? You can't summon other Titans to eat you either this time.
But don't worry I'm going to devour you instead.
I'll make sure to digest every bit of intel I get from you.
She broke free?! There weren't enough traps?! Don't let her escape! You can't change anything unless you can discard part of yourself too.
I know.
My friends are out there.
I can't fail them now.
Remember I'll annihilate her.
No I'll kill her! I don't have time to worry if it's right or wrong.
You can't hope for a horror story with a happy ending! Yeah! Mikasa! It's a cruel world out there.
What is it this time?! Eren! Eren?
You've won your bet.
But this is where my gamble begins! We've identified the person likely to be the female-form Titan.
