Attack on Titan (2013) s04e13 Episode Script
Children of the Forest
It's called a "gas weapon.
" The gas contains some of my spinal fluid.
Breathing just a slight amount makes Subjects of Ymir freeze up.
They can't control their bodies and lose consciousness.
On my command, I send the Power of the Titans to the coordinate via Paths.
That's why the people of that village obeyed my orders.
It's not "that" village.
It's Ragako.
Don't forget the name of the village you slaughtered, you bearded shit.
Well, I didn't want to do it.
But if I hadn't, and they found out I was sided with Eldia, I couldn't have brought hope to this island.
You know, I told you all this when I landed on the island.
Why do you keep asking? You don't have a shred of guilt in you and it shows.
You may or may not want to save Eldia, but those lives meant nothing to you.
You can't have been popular.
You think you know everyone's feelings.
I do know.
And I was popular enough.
Well, ain't that great? So? When will Eren and I begin the test? It's not up to me.
We're waiting for HQ.
They may think they have time to spare, but they don't.
I'm with you there.
Captain Levi! What? Are you serious? "Children of the Forest" What a big building! I've never seen anything like it! Me, either! It's yer lucky day, kids! Y'all fixin' to eat? Yeah! What's wrong, Mia? Got the jitters? Um, no You're so nervous, Mia! I know! What a total bumpkin! N-No! Kaya! Does a Marleyan captive really work here? It's true, so get a grip.
Soldiers use this place, too.
It'll be good to know another Marleyan.
Mr.
Braus! Thank you for coming! Thanks a bunch for the invite! Oh, my.
You sure brought a crowd.
Since it's on the house, I brought the whole gang.
Sorry.
It's fine.
Welcome, everyone.
This way, please.
I'm starving, dad! - You and me both! - We skipped breakfast for this! That's Nicolo, the Marleyan who invited Mr.
Braus.
See if he can help you.
Mr.
Braus isn't a soldier, so why was he invited? His daughter was the girl soldier who saved me.
Nicolo was at her grave and wanted to treat him to the food she loved.
But, personally, I thought they were in love.
Ben? What's wrong? Tummy ache? Uh, no! Delicious! I've never had anything this good! Just wait till you've had the main dish! Nicolo, you've got guests.
Huh?! Who is it now?! The Scouts.
You guys? What, is it urgent? My hands are full with some customers.
Uh, you can get back to work if you want.
It's just, we'd like to talk once you're done.
Talk? About what? Oh, you know.
Like any concerns you have.
They're investigating our detainment.
We're hoping you can help.
Yeah, all right.
You can wait here.
Oh? What a fancy room.
I bet it's reserved for MPs.
Huh? Is this the wine all the soldiers are gossiping about?! They say only higher ranks can get it! Yeah? Aren't we high rank in the Scouts? Yup! We deserve a bit of fun, too! A sip or two Don't touch that! Ch-Chill out, Nicolo.
We're just screwing around.
No need to overreact.
This good stuff would be wasted on Eldians! Nicolo, you're still saying stuff like that? The booze don't give a damn what race we are! Don't touch me, Eldian.
Just because I've been nice doesn't make us pals.
Have you forgotten what you are? You're just a A filthy captive, huh? That makes us even, Eldian.
What's his problem? Dammit! Hell if I know.
Go.
Argh! My stomach hurts! You okay, Ben? Eat something bad? I think I need to use the restroom! I think I better go help my brother! Good luck.
Hmm? The restroom is the other way.
That's not why we're here, Nicolo.
We came from Marley.
We're Warrior candidates.
What?! We think there will be a huge offensive against the island soon.
Until then, hang in there! And let any of your Marleyan comrades know! H-Hold up! What are Warrior candidates doing here? The island devils raided Liberio.
We got aboard their airship as it retreated and rode it here.
Did you kill anyone? A female soldier? Yes, I did! I've only killed a few, but our real revenge has yet to begin! - Gabi, wait! Hey! - I've only killed a few, but our real revenge has yet to begin! We won't let those spineless devils get away with - Gabi, stop! - We won't let those spineless devils get away with - What?! - So it was you who killed her? You're the one who killed Sasha?! Falco?! Hey, Falco! Are you okay, Falco?! - Falco! Falco! Get up! Wake up! - Hey! Say something, Falco! Shit! Falco! Falco! Get up! Wake up! Hey! Say something, Falco! Nicolo! What'd ya do to Ben and Mia?! She's the one who killed Sasha.
She took your daughter's life.
Though she's just a kid, she's a trained Marleyan soldier.
She got aboard the airship leaving Marley and shot your daughter.
She shot Sasha.
Daughter? Mr.
Braus, here.
If you can't kill her, I will.
Is that all right? Wh-What the?! Come here, guys! Huh? What is it? The kid who shot Sasha! What's going on, Nicolo? I heard she's on the run! What do you think you're doing?! Hey! Don't move! Get back! I'm avenging Sasha! Stay put! Stop Not Falco! What is this brat to you?! He took the hit for you! Do you care about him?! I cared about someone, too! An Eldian! Spawn of the devil! One who loved my cooking more than anyone! She saved me from this shitty-ass war! She taught me that I like making people happy with food! Her name was Sasha Braus! She's the girl you stole from me! People I cared about were killed, too! They were shot by your Sasha Braus! That's why I got revenge! She killed people first! Who gives a damn who killed first?! Open your eyes! You're a Marleyan soldier! That devil woman bewitched you! Don't lose to the devils! Nicolo, hand me the knife.
Come on.
Don't do it, Mr.
Braus.
Please put down the knife.
Sasha was a hunter.
What? Even as a wee girl, she shot varmints in the forest for us to eat.
That was just our way of livin'.
But I knew there'd come a day we'd have to give up that style of life, so I sent Sasha away from the forest.
She went into the world, became a soldier, shot people far yonder, and got herself shot.
In the end, though she left our forest, the world is a great, big forest where everyone's fightin' for their life.
I reckon Sasha died 'cuz she wandered in the forest too long.
We've gotta keep the younguns out of the forest.
Otherwise, ain't nothin' gonna stop it from happenin' again.
That's why it's up to us adults to shoulder the sins of the past.
Nicolo, let Ben go.
Good, Lisa.
Slowly, now.
Right.
Are you hurt? Mia You okay? Do you really not hate me? - Kaya - How dare you kill her! - Kaya, stop! - How dare you kill her! You murderer! I thought you were a friend! Let's move you! C'mon! Now the food's gone cold.
Hange, try to rinse out that kid's mouth.
Some wine got in it.
Huh? Though it's probably too late.
What's in the wine? I think Zeke's spinal fluid.
Zachary was killed? Yes.
The Jaegerists effectively control everything in the walls.
We think it's all part of some plan Zeke put together using Yelena and Eren.
And? Soon, the Jaegerists may bring Eren to see Zeke like they've been demanding.
And Pyxis? Is he letting this happen? As you know, the commander can be quite stubborn.
He's gonna make sure Eren gets eaten by our own hands.
That's right.
I've saved Eren, over and over each time, more comrades dying.
All because I believed he was the hope of humanity.
And look this is where my beliefs got me.
It's like some awful joke.
What the hell was the hope that we saw? All that struggle for a farce like this? Such bullshit.
It's not even funny.
There's another shithead we should have eaten.
What do you mean?! Zeke's spinal fluid is in the wine?! I don't have proof, but They packed the first scout fleet to the brim with it well more than any scouting mission needed.
- Again.
- And around the time I secured my job here as a chef, I was told to serve it to high-ranking officers.
- One more time.
- I was told to serve it to high-ranking officers.
By who?! Yelena.
As far as I know, she's the only one in on it.
Can't speak for the other volunteers.
Th-This is the first time I've heard about it! It doesn't make sense! Don't Eldians freeze up if they drink his spinal fluid? According to Zeke.
Nobody witnessed it, so there's no way to confirm it.
But the effectiveness of his little lie has been enormous.
Because nobody has frozen up, no one is even aware they drank it.
Yeah, but You don't know for sure, right? Yeah, I can't prove it.
But Marleyans know how Zeke's spinal fluid has been used in the past.
About ten years ago, we conquered a capital in just one night.
Hundreds of Titans sprung up in the city.
Unless that's what she's plotting, I don't know why she wants it served to your military's top officers.
So earlier, you grabbed the wine away 'cuz you were protecting us? Who knows? I don't know what I'm doing.
I came here to save the world from island devils.
Now that I've opened my mouth, I'm sure my days are numbered.
But, Mr.
Braus I don't think I can be like you, but if this can serve as atonement Killing a child? What's wrong with me? Nicolo Why did you protect me? Because.
I don't have a reason.
I'm the one who killed your comrade.
I'm the one who bludgeoned the guard.
Falco didn't do it.
Kill me, not him.
We won't kill you.
But you want to, don't you? I don't want to kill you.
Kill this, kill that It's all you think about.
Just like someone I know.
Er What's wrong? Commander Hange.
Floch! I'm glad you're here.
I imagine you know where Zeke's at.
We'll have you take us there.
Wait.
We have no intention of fighting you.
We rejected your proposal.
We won't negotiate with the military.
And why is that? It's Eren's decision.
Pyxis would never leave the fate of the island in our hands.
I'm sure he's frantically devising a plan to take the Founder from Eren while we're on the move.
You're imagining things.
Or is that what your comrades in the Garrison Regiment said? Does it look like I'm one of your lackeys that'll answer you? I suggest you get moving before I prove to you that I'm not.
Shit.
How'd they know we were here? Greiz? Did Yelena put you up to this? Nicolo, you're too obsessed with Eldians.
I knew this day would eventually come.
I was right not to tell you how to reach them.
Floch, listen! We don't have time to be fighting among ourselves! Wine with Zeke's spinal fluid was spread through the military! Zeke fooled us all with this plan of his! So what? It'll just make the idiot MPs into bigger idiots.
Can we go? I never said the MPs drank it! No way! You guys knew about the wine?! Use your inside voice, please.
We're going ahead.
Okay.
That voice Floch must've come.
Yeah.
I wanted to talk with you guys.
The Jaegerists capture Hange and the others.
Staring intensely at Armin and Mikasa, Eren says that he wants to talk.
