Attack on Titan (2013) s02e09 Episode Script

Opening

1 Let's move! Hange? G-Get me a horse.
Section Commander! Where are you trying to go? To that village where we captured the Titan who couldn't walk.
You mean Ragako? I need to see it with my own eyes.
Don't say something so ridiculous! Your body can't take riding a horse right now! I have a hunch that we need to investigate All right.
I'll go there on my own, so you just stay here and faint or something.
Spread out! Take formation to locate any enemies! Eren "Opening" Oh, Eren? You're awake? What the hell?! My arms! Eren.
Look at me.
I'm in the same shape as you.
Guess the both of us are having a bad day.
Ymir Why don't I have any arms? That's my bad.
I'm the one who did that.
I kinda was in a hurry.
When I rushed to bite your nape, I neglected to take your arms into account.
I see I must've lost.
Eren, stop! Hold your horses, Eren.
Take a good look around us.
We're in the giant forest within Wall Maria.
It's not even close to any of the walls.
In other words, we're deep in Titan territory.
Take a look.
I think that one down there's an Abnormal.
It looks like he's just lounging around, but he's not taking his eyes off us.
There's a lot of small ones down there, too.
That alone is dangerous.
Over that way's another big one.
He staring at us, but won't come any closer.
I bet you that one's a scaredy-cat.
And then you've got these chumps.
Those dirty bastards.
They're the only ones with any ODM gear on.
Reiner's wearing gear he took from you.
So I don't think changing into a Titan at this point is going to solve anything.
Not only can they do that, but they can escape high into the trees as well.
Those two aside, there's Titans all around us.
Escaping out of this Titan territory would be tough, even with Titan powers.
Understand? There's nothing to gain by acting up.
No.
You two can't even turn into Titans right now.
So don't count on that to help you.
Your body is at its limit.
It's taking everything you've got to repair the damage.
Are you stupid? Why the hell would I trust anything coming out of your mouth? Well It's not like I know the specifics behind how Titan powers work.
Unlike you guys, I'm pretty clueless about it.
Hey, Reiner.
You said you would talk once Eren woke up.
It's about time one of you says what you plan to do with us.
We'll take you to our hometown.
I realize that you're not going to listen and do as I say.
But like Ymir was saying, this place is swarming with Titans.
We could beat the shit out of each other right now, but when we're weak, the other Titans would just come and eat us.
So until nightfall, when the Titans can't move, we have no choice but to wait here.
Whether you try to run and escape from us or don't and we take you away either way, we wait for night.
Why didn't you stay the Armored Titan and run home? What's the point of stopping here? Too tired and had to take a break? Why don't you use your imagination? Let's think If I waited for an opening and became a Titan, running away from here doesn't seem like it would pose a challenge.
But will I be able to transform into a Titan in the first place? Reiner said that I can't And I have to consider that even Reiner had to stop here to take a break.
If my Titan form isn't strong enough, does that mean I'll just get eaten by the others? Are you simply waiting here for it to become night? Maybe I am.
No There's no way they'd wait until nightfall.
They're not going to give our bodies the chance to fully recover.
They'll make their move while we're still powerless.
At this rate, I can't do anything.
At this rate What happened to everybody? Where are the Scouts? Don't tell me they're coming this way If they try to help, no one's gonna make it back safely.
What's it matter? Those Titans at the castle moved just fine at night.
Won't these Titans, too? The Titans here can't move at night.
You should know all about it, Ymir.
Speaking of which, why can Ymir turn into a Titan? I don't think she's like me, who knew nothing about it.
Is she on our side? I don't even know what her goal is yet.
She's hard enough to understand as it is.
I've made up my mind.
Right now, what I need is information.
I need to figure out everything I can from these guys.
And then I'll make my escape.
To do that, I need to suppress all my emotions and for my body to heal.
Titan spotted at three 'o clock! Fire the smoke! Smoke shell confirmed on the right wing! Do not change direction! Have the right wing merge with the center and hold course! We only have until sunset! We must take the shortest possible path! Mikasa.
Hey, Mikasa! Mikasa! Stop pushing so hard.
You're drifting near the vanguard.
It'll ruin the whole formation.
I know how you feel, but didn't I tell you? Eren won't get taken away without putting up a fight.
Don't you agree? You know he'll never give up.
So it's up to us to stay calm and be there when he needs us.
Just like we did back then.
Reiner.
You got any water? If I don't get some soon, I'm going to dry up and die.
Even if it's a matter of life and death, there's nothing we can do given our situation.
He's completely right This situation couldn't be any shittier.
Speaking of which Ever since the Titans showed up yesterday morning, we've been working our asses off.
With nothing to eat or drink and not even a wink of sleep.
Fortunately, the wall wasn't broken or anything.
So I think we deserve to take a break for once.
We'll see about getting promoted later.
Reiner What? We've done plenty enough to deserve it.
I think we've performed outstandingly, considering all we've been put through.
I know soldiers like us are expected to fulfill their duties, but I think we've all earned it.
Reiner What in the world are you talking about? Huh? What do you mean? I'm not saying we go demand to be promoted to captains or anything.
That's not what I mean.
Oh, yeah.
Where did you all get that cannon from? That really saved my ass.
It's a good thing Christa helped me after that.
To be honest, I think she has a thing for me.
Hey Now that I think about it, Christa has always treated me especially Hey! You bastard You've gotta be kidding me.
Huh? What are you so angry about, Eren? Did I say something wrong? If you want to die, just keep talking! Hold up, Eren.
This isn't normal, no matter how you look at it.
Isn't that right, Bertholdt? If you know something, quit with the silence and come out and say it.
Huh? Reiner You're not a soldier, remember? You and I we're warriors.
Reiner! What are you doing?! Hey Why is Marco getting eaten? Right.
That's how it is.
Huh? What's he doing? More or less, I think I've figured it out.
I thought it was strange.
Why would the guy who broke the wall risk his life to save Conny? Everything he does is contradictory, but he doesn't realize it himself.
I don't know why he ended up like this, but probably He was originally a warrior whose goal was to break the wall, but after pretending to be a soldier for so long, he lost sight of who he was and couldn't tell which one was real.
No Unable to bear the weight of his sins, he convinced himself he was a soldier protecting the wall to maintain emotional balance within his own heart.
And in the end, he believed it.
As a result, his heart was split and his memories broken.
This must not be the first time Reiner's talked and made no sense judging by Bertholdt's grim expression.
It's amazing, really.
For someone excessively honest like you to Enough! Shut your mouth.
Sorry about that.
I might've pried too much.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Why are you pretending to be the victim here? What's your deal? That day, what the hell were you thinking when you talked to us? Tell me, Bertholdt.
I'm talking to you, you damn lackey.
I told you everything while you looked at me right in the eyes.
About the day my mother was eaten alive Stop! Isn't that right? Thanks to the piece of wall you kicked that went flying straight into my house, my mother couldn't escape or run away.
You remember, right? I told you my story.
What were you thinking? What were you thinking when I told you? Back then I thought I felt sorry for you.
Oh I see You guys You guys are neither soldiers nor warriors.
You're just murderers.
You're psychotic mass-murderers who've killed countless innocent people who never did anything wrong! You don't think I know that?! I don't need you to point that out to me! Then don't pretend to have emotions like you're one of us! You guys aren't even human anymore! It's you two who've turned this world into a living hell! Does that make you happy, murderers?! What are you after by calling us murderers?! Do you want us to regret it? Do you want us to apologize?! Would that give you satisfaction? The people you thought we were no longer exist! If screaming will make you feel better, then scream your damn head off! That's right I'm still too naïve.
I've gotta do what I can.
Do what I can to make you guys suffer and die in the worst way possible.
You've got it coming.
You can't be serious.
Huh? Quit it, Eren.
If you keep saying childish crap like that, I've got no hope for you.
Huh?! Hey, Reiner.
What's the deal with that monkey? Monkey? What do you mean? Hmm? You don't know? That's surprising, given how much you two stared at it with stars in your eyes like two little brats.
That monkey What's that? A monkey? Just listen.
That monkey Beast Titan is what caused this recent fiasco.
It made Titans rise up from within the wall.
I wonder if he was trying to assess our strength.
That's where these guys are trying to get.
If you guys get to him, you'll be able to go back home, right? You knew this? What do you know?! Tell me everything! Just wait.
I've got circumstances of my own.
What the hell do you mean by that?! Eren if you think killing these two will bring an end to everything you're gravely mistaken.
Huh?! Then who's the enemy?! Enemy? If I said that, the Ymir! Do you think there's any future for this world? If you know so much, think about what you want to do.
It's not out of the question for you to join our side.
And trust you? Yeah, right.
You two don't even trust me.
Wrong.
We can trust you.
Because your one goal is to protect Christa.
When it comes to her, we should be able to trust one another.
You might think that I'm joking, but Is it that hard for you to believe that we might want the best for Christa as well? Or would you rather put your hopes in Eren and rely on him over us? Huh?! You're probably thinking your best chance is to use Eren to escape from here.
Because if you're taken by us, there's little chance for your rescue.
To be honest, that's pretty much true.
Even if you come with us, we can't guarantee your safety.
But if it's Christa we're talking about, we might be able to do something for her.
Will it be your petty life or Christa's future? It's up to you to decide.
There's no future for this world? Why's that? What's this about a monkey? What's going on? Hey! Hey, say something! Who's the enemy?! Ymir! Who knows It's settled then.
Too bad, Eren.
The Scouts are already Dammit! Shit! Damn you, Ymir.
There's just one hour left until sunset.
As sunset swiftly approaches the Scout Regiment closes in, intent on rescuing Eren from Reiner and Bertholdt.
The pair plot to make their escape, fleeing by use of ODM gear.
However, reflecting on her past and emotions, Ymir offers a plan of her own.
