Attack on Titan (2013) s04e04 Episode Script

From One Hand to Another

1 Falco.
Where are you headed this late? Left something at HQ, so I'm running back there to grab it real quick.
See you later! [KRUGER.]
Falco, could you do me a favor? [FALCO.]
Sure.
What do you need? [KRUGER.]
I want to send a letter, but coming from the internment zone, it'll probably be checked, right? Yeah, probably.
If they see what I wrote, they'll know I shouldn't be here.
Would you be willing to send it from outside the internment zone? Sure thing.
Guess this is to your family? [KRUGER.]
Yeah.
Just letting them know that I'm here and that I'm all right.
Opening Song [MAGATH.]
Hm? Hey.
Why all the commotion? The Tybur family just arrived.
Looks like all of them.
Excuse me? They're the Tyburs' personal guard.
It's an independent force.
I hear they're good.
[door opens.]
Please come in.
[WILLY.]
Sorry to drop in unannounced.
[TYBUR CHILDREN chattering.]
I'm Willy.
Head of the Tyburs.
It's a pleasure.
I lead Marley's Warrior Unit.
Commander Theo Magath.
It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Lord Tybur.
The feeling's mutual, Commander Magath.
Now then.
Allow me to introduce you to my beloved family.
[TYBUR CHILD 63D.]
I told you to stay still! Let him go! [TYBUR CHILDREN chattering.]
[TYBUR CHILD 63D.]
Now look what you've done! [WILLY.]
You've overseen the Warrior unit quite successfully, Commander, so I'm curious.
Can you tell which of us is the War Hammer Titan? No, sir.
I've seen no sign at all.
Frankly, I'm not even sure if the War Hammer came here with you.
[WILLY chuckles.]
You have an astute mind.
As I'd heard.
But no.
It is here.
Someone among us wields the War Hammer.
I came here to lay eyes on the statue of Helos.
It captures the moment, a century ago, when a mere human struck down the Devil of All Earth, saving the world and becoming a hero.
What a grand sight.
He stands brave and beautiful.
Not a scratch on him.
Truly.
This is the spirit of Marley.
Yes, I agree with you.
Especially since the statue's completely hollow.
[WILLY chuckles.]
You're an unsparing critic, Commander.
I'm told that you've been working to reinstate conscription among Marleyan citizens.
To the people of Marley, war exists only in the pages of their newspapers.
They read words saying that the border's expanded, and they feel pride.
If it's our tamed devils, or conscripts from conquered nations that bleed for those lands, so much the better.
I suppose the hope is that by forcing Marleyan citizens to risk their own necks in the trenches, then we can eventually put a halt to this nation's self-destructive march toward war.
But if I had the ear of the man controlling Marley from the shadows, I would tell him it's too late.
[WILLY chuckles.]
You truly don't hold back, do you? What am I to say? As you just noted, Marley is under the Tybur family's influence.
But we did not set Marley on this path of militarism.
The nation chose that for itself.
Long ago, we Tyburs gave Marley freedom and power by way of atonement.
We chose to stand by and watch as this country plunged itself into darkness.
We intend to reveal everything to the world during the main event of the festival.
When I said I'd come to see the hero's statue, I meant it.
Marley needs a new Helos.
Theo Magath.
I ask you to take my hand and work at my side.
[yawns.]
[screams.]
[PIECK.]
Good morning, Pock! [panting.]
Hey, Pieck.
Why are you down there? I guess this just feels more natural to me.
Sorry if I scared you.
Would'ja please just walk normal? [REINER.]
Most Titans come from the south, so Paradis' defenses are heaviest there, and comparatively sparse towards the northern mountains.
[BRASS 63A.]
I see.
So we should attack from the north.
It's worth considering at least.
However, we need to land a great many troops and supplies, and for our largest ships to dock, we'll need control of that southern wharf.
Then we should come from the south.
Not necessarily.
We'd be sailing straight to the spot where we lost our scout ships.
Its where the enemy's focused.
They might've even torn the wharf down.
All right.
Then what are you trying to say? [REINER.]
I was just sharing information that I thought you might find useful, sir.
Well, I think you've shared quite enough.
I don't know why we let an Eldian talk in the first place.
[GALLIARD.]
The Paradis plan seems to be coming right along.
The brass in charge is oh so intelligent.
I sure am excited to hear what they come up with.
[PIECK.]
Like entrusting the whole operation to four children with no support? [GALLIARD.]
Hm? [REINER.]
He's winning.
Falco just passed Gabi.
[GALLIARD.]
Heh.
Look how they celebrate that one win.
Dumb kids.
Ignorance really is bliss.
But it doesn't matter how well Falco does from this point, does it? I mean Gabi's so far ahead of him.
[UDO.]
Did you see how he took off at the last stretch? Hey there, kids.
What's all the fuss about? [UDO.]
Falco finally got the best of Gabi! [GUARD 63B.]
Really? He beat her grades? [ZOFIA.]
No.
He just outran her in a race.
[UDO.]
Sure, but it's still a historic feat! Hey.
Can you cut it out? Seriously, it's embarrassing.
Pretty impressive! It sounds like maybe you're gonna be the next Armor! - [GABI grunts.]
- [FALCO groans.]
There's no point in trying to beat me now, it's too little too late! In case you forgot, I heroically defended our motherland in battle! Yeah, I know, but there's still a chance.
They haven't announced a successor quite yet, and until they do, I'll keep on working my hardest.
All right.
Said like a professional Warrior.
Your brother's inheriting the Beast, so you and your family'll be made Honorary Marleyans no matter what you do! You know that, so why try so hard? I'm doing this for you! Falco He really just up and said it! Huh?! You're trying to stop me from getting what I want but you think you're doing it for me? That doesn't make any damn sense! [GUARD 63A sighs.]
He couldn't get through to her.
Huh? What's that jerk's problem? Hey! Tell me! [WOMAN 63A.]
Well if it isn't our brave young Warriors-in-training.
[DRUNKEN MAN 63A.]
Gabi! I heard what you did, Gabi! You're a hero to all us Eldians, you know that? Thanks for your service! Sorry, but I'm just Zofia.
Huh? [WOMAN 63B.]
Stop that, you stupid lush! Between the day-drinking and the grabbing onto random girls, I've had it up to here with you! Shaddap, ya nosy old bat! Ain't nothin' wrong with givin' a hero due praise! There wouldn't be, except getting praised by someone like you is bad luck! Now go! Drag yourself home to your poor mother! [DRUNKEN MAN 63A groans.]
Now.
Allow me to give you kids a nice treat.
Eat up, okay? I want you to get big and strong like Vice Chief Braun! [GABI, UDO, ZOFIA.]
Thank you so much! [UDO.]
Whoa.
Are they really gonna declare war from here in the internment zone? Looks like they're building a stage.
[GABI.]
They say leaders are gonna come from all over the world, and by the time this festival is over, they're all gonna be on our side.
Fantastic! [ZOFIA gasps.]
Sounds like all of Marley's problems are about to magically disappear! You really don't think it'll work? [UDO.]
Do you really think it will? We've been at war with too many of these countries.
They want Marley to fall.
We aren't treated well here, but compared to the hatred that Eldians face abroad, we're actually lucky.
My family came from a foreign internment zone.
It was awful.
Well.
That's all the more reason why we have to do something.
They chose to meet at the internment zone.
Maybe they wanna help people understand us.
This is our chance to show the world that we aren't devils.
Okay, but how? [GABI.]
Smile! I know how badly you wanna be right, but right now, you can't be.
Help prove yourself wrong or we're all screwed.
You shape up, too.
Stop pretending to be a weirdo, Zofia.
Um.
This is just who I am.
[UDO.]
Fine.
So what are you gonna fix? Huh? There's nothing for me to fix, I'm perfect.
I'm sharp as a needle and cute as a button.
And when I captivate all the VIPs, my spot's gonna be that much more secure.
Are you sure you're not a devil? And if you two ever cheer for Falco over me again, I will make you cry.
Oh, she's definitely a devil.
[gasps.]
It's Commander Magath.
[MAGATH.]
Here.
[WILLY.]
Hmm.
Is such a large-scale demolition necessary? Much of the structure has decayed beyond repair.
Allow me to congratulate you.
The army is now yours, General.
No, sir.
It belongs to the nation.
And Marley is a nation commanded by none other than you, Lord Tybur.
[WILLY.]
Hm.
This nation isn't mine, though.
It belongs to the people: Marleyan and Eldian.
Now that I have the wheel, I can see why no one's tried to turn it before.
It's too heavy.
[WILLY.]
I want nothing more than to let it go, but the time has come when I must not.
It just happened to be me.
By sheer chance, I happened to be the man that fate turned to.
[MAGATH.]
The house was on the verge of collapse, but a few of its pillars remain usable.
And according to them, the house is already infested with rats.
[KRUGER.]
Nicely done, Falco.
It's thanks to what you said, Mr.
Kruger! Honestly, I doubt I'll catch up to Gabi, no matter how hard I push myself.
But even so, I'm gonna keep moving forward.
[KRUGER.]
I see.
I would still say that I'm in your debt though.
Thank you for delivering those letters for me.
You've been a big help.
Huh? Oh, sure.
[FALCO.]
That glove.
Did your family send it to you? They thought it would make hospital life less boring.
It's hard to do much in this shape, but I need to move forward, too.
After the festival, I'm going back to my hometown.
Glad to hear it.
[gasps.]
A doctor's coming.
Well.
I should head out.
Yeah.
[MAN.]
Would you mind if I sit next to you? Sure.
Why not? [MAN.]
Thanks, I appreciate it.
My name's Jaeger.
I'm an Internment Zone physician.
I like to come out here and drink tea from time to time.
Good to meet you.
I'm Kruger.
[GRISHA'S FATHER.]
Good to meet you, too.
I saw you speaking with a boy just now.
Is he a friend? Guess so.
[GRISHA'S FATHER.]
Hmm.
I wonder if he could've been my friend.
After all, I too sit here, looking for someone to talk to.
Before the Eldian Restorationists were caught, that boy's uncle was a leading member.
Marley sends captured restorationists straight to paradise, frequently with their family's in tow.
In order to protect their loved ones, the boy and his brother said they wanted to become Warriors.
And now, his brother has been chosen to inherit the Beast Titan.
Which means the Grice family is finally safe again.
Hold on.
Why tell me all this? So that you'll stop asking that young man to run errands for you.
The Grice family's efforts will have been for nothing if people begin to suspect him of something illicit.
And if your heart and mind truly are healthy, you should go back to your family now.
The people you love won't always be waiting.
If you take them for granted, you will be left with regret.
[KRUGER.]
Will I? I see.
You have regrets about your own family? [GRISHA'S FATHER gasps.]
[GRISHA'S FATHER.]
I'm filled with them.
Even now.
I was so hard on my son.
So insistent that he become a doctor.
That's why he took his sister outside the walls.
That's why she She [GRISHA'S FATHER gasping.]
It's my fault.
It's all my fault! [GRISHA'S FATHER sobs.]
[screams.]
[DOCTOR 63A.]
Mr.
Jaeger! Please don't go outside unsupervised! Sorry about this.
I only looked away for a moment.
[GRISHA'S FATHER sobbing.]
[NURSE 63A.]
Come along, Mr.
Jaeger.
[DOCTOR 63A.]
Everything will be all right.
[GRISHA'S FATHER sobbing.]
This is crazy.
I've seen these people in the papers.
Enough idle chitchat.
We're gonna serve these people so well that their heads spin.
Look, they're starting to leave dirty dishes.
Get 'em! Yes.
I've always felt that way.
[GABI.]
Falco, drink! Here! Huh? Look.
They're letting some filthy-blood carry our plates.
Ugh.
No wonder the food here reeks.
[gasps.]
I-I'm terribly sorry, ma'am! [KIYOMI.]
Shh! Don't make a scene of it.
But the wine.
It stained your outfit.
My lady.
Is everything all right? This is quite embarrassing, but I spilled wine on my kimono and was just asking this boy for assistance.
Thank you, young man.
[HEAD WAITER 63A.]
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Please come right this way.
Wh-Why would you? There's no telling what they would've done to you if I'd been honest, right? Are you okay? [UDO.]
Yeah.
She saved me.
Even though she knew that I'm an Eldian.
[GABI gasps.]
I think I know why.
That woman's probably an Easterner from Hizuru.
[GUESTS gasp.]
[GUEST 63D.]
It's Willy Tybur! [OGWENO.]
Willy! If it isn't the heir of our saviors! [WILLY.]
Ambassador Ogweno! Long time no see! And Nambia! It's been since we were children.
[NAMBIA laughs.]
Yes.
Sorry for all the times I made you cry.
[GUEST 63E.]
I wonder if you remember this, Willy.
[WILLY.]
Oh! Of course, from when you fell out of that tree! [clinking.]
Let me bid you a warm welcome and offer my thanks to you all for traveling so far.
Until very recently, some of us were engaged in a rather unseemly dispute over resources.
However, yesterday's enemy is today's enemy! [MARLEY AMBASSADOR 63A.]
Pardon.
I mean yesterday's enemy is today's friend! Let us wash the past down the toilet alongside our drinks tonight! Toward that end, please raise your glasses and join me for a toast! Cheers! To everlasting peace! [WILLY.]
Such a refined joke! It's unfortunate that this isn't a first language for all our guests.
You weren't quite understood.
So please, allow me to take over from here.
Thanks for breaking the ice, Ambassador.
All right, Willy! [GUEST 63G.]
Kin of our saviors! [WILLY.]
You've been invited to join me tomorrow, in the Liberio Internment Zone.
It is home to a people whose blood runs through my own veins.
These people are known to be descendants of devils, for their ancestors massacred untold millions.
And strangely, after enduring the worst of their cruelty, Marley used those devils to oppress other nations, repeating the horrors of the past.
Would the world not be better if Titans ceased to exist? There is but one answer to the Eldian question.
After years of searching, I've found it.
And tomorrow night, I'll share it in the course of my first-ever theatrical production.
I hope that each of you will be there.
Now.
To the playwrights and the witnesses of history! [GUESTS.]
To the playwrights and the witnesses of history! [GABI snoring.]
- [drumming.]
- [GABI gasps.]
What the hell? [CROWD chattering.]
[laughs.]
What is all this? - [FALCO.]
Gabi! - [gasps.]
'Bout time you woke up! Why is everything all crazy? [UDO.]
It's for the festival! Different people have been pouring in from outside all morning, and they opened up a bunch of food stalls! Here, try this! It's the best thing I've ever tasted! Let's go! [GABI giggling.]
[GABI.]
Ugh.
It hurts! [REINER.]
That's what you get for being a glutton.
Look at the flags they put up! [GABI.]
They should just make every day a festival.
Think so, huh? S'prolly nothin', but I've noticed a lot of new things have been happening in the last few days.
Is that right? It feels strange.
As if the world is about to change in a big way.
Yeah.
I hear you.
Ending Song [CROWD chattering.]
Hey.
How've you enjoyed the festival? Wait.
Where's Falco? Oh.
He said he saw someone he knew in the crowd and ran off to say hi.
Huh.
Hope this doesn't make him late.
[GALLIARD.]
Man.
You really can't loosen up without booze, can you? Look at all these people.
Look there.
I guess he made it back.
[FALCO pants.]
Mr.
Braun! [GABI.]
Where the hell have you been? Sir.
Do you mind coming with me? Don't think there's time.
Ah, you'll be fine.
The curtains won't go up for a few more minutes.
[FALCO.]
Over this way! [REINER.]
What's this about, Falco? You can see for yourself in a second.
[FALCO.]
It's through this door! 'Kay I got him to come! [KRUGER.]
Evening.
It's been four years Reiner.
[REINER.]
Eren! [NARRATOR.]
Reiner faces Eren in the gloom of a lamplit cellar.
As Willy Tybur sweeps his audience to their feet, Eren confesses.
He and Reiner are the same.
