Attack on Titan (2013) s04e08 Episode Script
Assassin's Bullet
1
It's Reiner!
[roars.]
[BOTH gasp.]
[EREN gasps.]
[MIKASA.]
Eren! Seems to me this fight's over.
We've used the last of our strength.
[EREN.]
As for Reiner, I can't exactly kill him at this point.
Okay, fine.
Then let's go back home.
[EREN.]
See you later, Reiner.
Guard the ship from any hostiles below.
If you've still got ammo, then now's the time to use it.
[KOSLOW.]
Looks like they're retreating.
Does this mean we're safe? They're getting away.
[FALCO.]
Gabi! [GABI.]
Eren Jaeger! [FALCO.]
Gabi! You won't escape! I'll shoot you down.
Opening Song [LEVI.]
Well, aren't you a filthy sight? It's like you fell in a pile of shit, Eren.
Captain Levi.
[BOTH gasp.]
[LEVI.]
This takes me back, Eren.
You have a real kickable face, you know that? Once you're tied up, I'd like to have a longer chat.
That's all right by me, but I explained everything in the letters I wrote.
Did you not understand them? Tch.
I know that face.
I used to see it on the rotten shits I met in the underground.
Never thought I'd see it on you.
Hey, cheer up.
Everything went just like you wanted.
[MARLEYAN SOLDIER 67B.]
Stop 'em! Kill every last devil you can! Everyone get inside! If they had guns that could take down an airship, they'd've brought them out by now.
Jean! You go in, too.
I'll keep an eye on things.
[JEAN.]
Understood, Commander Lobov! We're counting on you, sir! I already told you.
I'm just a recruit now! Our people don't need the Garrison anymore! And that goes double for the overpaid geezers in charge of it! Jean! Grab on! Thanks, you two.
Who's left? [CONNY.]
We're still waiting on Lima Squad.
But assuming that all of them make it back, we've lost six soldiers.
Right.
Shit.
That's nothing compared to the damage we did to the enemy.
Good work, soldiers! We just fought the New Eldian Empire's first battle and it ended in victory! [SCOUTS.]
Yeah! [FLOCH.]
That's right! Celebrate! That's how we'll pay tribute to our six fallen heroes! Our first battle.
I wonder how many more we'll have to fight.
How many more'll have to die? Honestly, I'm just glad that we made it.
I know this isn't fair to the others, but you guys will always be special to me.
That hurts, dumbass.
Don't hug us while you've got all that metal on.
What'd you call me? You're the only dumbass I see here.
Always playing with that sorry excuse for a beard.
[JEAN.]
Huh? [SASHA.]
Yeah, Conny's right! Even if you could grow a real beard, it's not like you could eat it.
[JEAN.]
Huh?! [SASHA.]
Speaking of, are we eating soon? [JEAN.]
No.
Not till we reach the island.
[SASHA.]
Seriously? Some leader you are.
[GABI, FALCO panting.]
[FALCO.]
Gabi! Come on, Gabi, hold on a second! [GABI gasps.]
Stop.
It's over.
They're flying away, Gabi.
There's no point in chasing them.
Even you know that.
They killed our friends.
Zofia was right next to me, talking, and then she was crushed by a flying rock.
Udo tried to get it off her, but that just got him trampled by the crowd.
They stepped on his head again and again till it cracked open.
I ran into those gate guards we talk to, and they yelled at me 'cause I was trying to go back to the plaza.
They said it was too dangerous.
They tried to protect me even though I'm Eldian.
Now they're dead.
I saw some woman shoot them from a rooftop.
Because I'm an Eldian who was born in this internment zone, people spit at the sight of me walking around.
I have lots of memories of getting treated like dirt, but they're the reason I try so hard.
I'm fighting to show the world that the Eldians here are good people! I made it this far because I believed that someday we could be proud of these armbands.
I did everything I could to make that happen, but now it's all been crushed.
This internment zone is my home! I know it isn't perfect, but its where the people I love live.
So if somebody tramples it, I'm not gonna forgive them.
[GABI.]
So why? [gasps.]
Why would you tell me not to chase them? Mister Zeke was killed right in front of us.
Don't you wanna do something? Don't you wanna know why all these people had to die? So why, Reiner? Tell me why my mom was eaten by a Titan.
[FALCO.]
Their home was trampled, too.
Huh? That's why.
Our warriors attacked them years ago and killed lots of people.
This is just revenge.
So did you see that happen? Well no.
I didn't.
Neither did I, Falco.
It doesn't matter.
These island devils threaten world peace, remember? We were taught all about them.
They're savage and cruel and whatever we might've done to them, it wasn't half as bad as what they deserved.
Those devils aren't like us.
Reiner.
I'm the same as you.
Same where I'm from.
Inside the walls, we're all just people.
[LOBOV.]
Lima Squad's in.
That makes everyone.
All troops accounted for! Tell the bridge we're good to ascend! [SCOUT 67A.]
Got it! It's just a kid! I shot him down.
The line.
It's still attached.
Gabi! What do you think you're trying to do? [GABI.]
It's this trigger.
If I pull it, then Hold on.
You wanna go up? Don't be crazy.
I'll kill as many island devils as I can.
Stop being an idiot, you're just gonna get yourself killed! Talk to my mom and dad for me.
Talk to Reiner and the others, too.
Tell them that I fought my hardest, to the end.
Even if I'm killed up there, all of you will carry my spirit forward, right? Falco! Gabi! - [BOTH gasp.]
- Are you two okay? What're you doing out here? It's Colt.
This is it, Falco.
You take care.
You're one of the good ones.
[FALCO gasps.]
Surpass Gabi to protect her.
Spare her from the dark future we face.
Falco! [gasps.]
Falco? Why come with me? Because I'm the one who should inherit the Armored Titan.
You hear me? Huh? [SCOUTS chattering.]
Hey, Jean, did you hear a sound just now? Hey! Quiet down for a second.
[FLOCH.]
Make some noise! To victory! [SCOUTS.]
Yeah! Guys.
Hey.
Lobov isn't back yet.
Weird.
He should've come back a while ago.
[GABI grunts.]
[CONNY.]
Sasha! [FALCO gasps.]
[BOTH gasp.]
[SCOUTS yelling.]
[FLOCH.]
Take that, you Marleyan bastards! [CONNY.]
Sasha! Sasha! Hey.
Stay with me.
Hey! [SASHA.]
Why are you so loud? [SASHA.]
Are we eating soon or what? She's bleeding! Find us some bandages! Hurry! [LOUISE.]
Right! Come on.
Just hang in there.
[SASHA.]
Meat Jean.
Lobov's dead.
They shot him and climbed aboard using his ODM gear.
[FLOCH.]
I'll toss 'em outside.
All right? [JEAN grunts.]
[JEAN.]
Do you really think tossing kids out of an airship is gonna help us stop all this killing? What happened to Braun and Grice? They ran off.
Neither one of them said where they were going.
I haven't seen 'em since.
Hey, Pieck.
Commander.
I remember now.
[PIECK.]
I know that Marleyan soldier.
The one who led us away from the plaza and into a trap.
I know exactly where I saw them last.
It was about three years ago during an inspection of the first survey fleet to go to Paradis, after Reiner came back from his mission.
Wait, the scout ships that disappeared? [PIECK.]
Yeah.
I'm sure of it.
That beard looked so unnatural on them.
Hey.
How long are you gonna make me look at that thing? [YELENA.]
What's your problem? Everyone else likes it.
[thudding.]
Are they still celebrating our "victory"? Let go of me! You haven't defeated us yet, you filthy island devils! You might've killed Zeke, but not his spirit! We'll carry his will forward! Gabi.
Stop! [FLOCH.]
What do we do with 'em, Jean? Us true Eldians are gonna haunt you till you're all rotting in the ground.
You tell that to the bastard who planned this once I'm dead! [JEAN.]
Think I'll just take you to him.
[GABI gasps.]
Then you can tell him yourself.
Sound good to you? [door opens.]
[MAGATH.]
How were you able to recognize them? [PIECK.]
Well.
The soldier happened to be someone I had a personal interest in.
[PIECK.]
Because she's a devout follower of Zeke Jaeger.
[gasps.]
Gabi, Falco? How did you get here? What about you? We thought that you were dead.
They took you alive? But how is that possible? Why would you let them? Who the hell are these kids? They somehow killed Lobov, and then used his gear to climb aboard.
This one shot Sasha before we could catch her.
I don't think she's gonna make it.
[MIKASA gasps.]
I'll leave the rest to you, Onyankopon.
[ONYANKOPON.]
I'm on it, Hange! Well, Zeke.
It seems everything's played out just like you wanted.
Wouldn't you say? I did make a few miscalculations, but aside from that, I would.
[GABI.]
Zeke? Huh? Wait, who are these kids? [ZEKE.]
Miscalculations.
Damn it, Yelena! Why didn't you lock down the Cart Titan and Jaw Titan like you said you would? We lost good people because of you! I'm sorry.
I can assure you that they both fell into the pit, but it's still my fault.
Guess that's why you threw more rocks at us than planned.
You had to put on a show for your comrades, didn't ya? Quite the performance, coming from a mangy furball.
Yeah.
Well done.
Aw.
Please don't glare, Levi.
You don't wanna make me piss my pants, do you? And you gave quite the performance, yourself.
Considering how bad you wish you could actually kill me.
I'm the kind of person who saves the best bite for the end of my meal.
I can really savor the taste that way.
We killed Marley's brass and took out their primary fleet and port.
That oughtta buy us some time.
Before the whole world comes crashing down on us with a coordinated attack, you mean.
Every single time you get yourself caught, we give up lives to get you back.
No matter how high the cost, we pay it.
You noticed that trend and used it against us.
Held yourself hostage to force our hand.
We had no choice except to do what you wanted.
You put your trust in us, and we've lost our trust in you, Eren.
You gain from this, too.
You now possess the Founding Titan as well as a Titan with royal blood.
All your comrade's sacrifices are about to bear fruit at last.
Eldia will be free.
It's Sasha.
She just died.
Conny.
Did Sasha leave you any last words? She asked for some meat.
[EREN gasps.]
[chuckling.]
[SASHA.]
Can you guys keep a secret, 'cause I totally just helped myself to the Officer's Pantry.
[SASHA.]
But hey.
It'll be all right.
I mean once we've taken our land back, we'll have all the room we need for livestock! Eren.
Sasha only died because you dragged the Scouts into this.
You know that? Ending Song [NARRATOR.]
Was there some other hidden path they could've taken? The immutable past renders that question irrelevant.
They have no choice but to continue down the path before them.
