Original subtitles

Armin always said that there's an ocean outside the walls...

But across the ocean...

I've always wondered what lies further beyond.

Smoke Signal

Smoke Signal

Just try to swipe some of this food, Sasha.

I'll have Captain Levi turn you into mincemeat if you do.

I won't! Unless...

What was that?

Hey! Did you guys clean your shoes before you came in?

What?

No way. How could we clean our shoes while carrying all this?

What do you think Captain Levi would have to say about that attitude?

If I hadn't tucked in your sheets this morning—

Would you give it a rest?

Who are you, my mom?!

We're back.

Wait, why were you chopping firewood?

I don't want to get rusty.

You were injured by a Titan! You should still be in bed.

I told her not to do it, but she insisted.

She was even doing sit-ups earlier!

You were peeping on her, you scoundrel?

Huh?

Mikasa, you're not a wild animal!

What part of that sounded like peeping to you?!

It kinda feels like we're back in the Training Corps.

Yeah...

But why were we all picked for the new Levi Squad?

Isn't protecting Eren and Historia too important to leave up to us?

It just means they can see we're talented.

Sasha, what did you just put in your bag?

Nothing remotely resembling bread.

You damn kleptomaniac!

Just put it back.

Forget that!

We gotta finish cleaning before the captain gets back!

Come on, we know you have it.

Why are you all fighting?

You just never learn, do you?

We can't afford to waste food!

Cut the crap, Potato Girl!

Interesting. I know I gave you enough time.

Oh, well...

We'll discuss your lax cleaning job another time.

Eren.

Hange is itching to get the experiment started.

R-Right.

Eren!

What's wrong, Eren?! Get up!

All of humanity is counting on you!

Get up, damn it!

Hey, four-eyes.

Something's off about that body.

It's not even 10 meters tall, and the lower half is just bones.

And Eren's ass is hanging out.

I can see that!

Eren! Can you still move?!

Give us some kind of signal!

Eren!

Mikasa!

Look. The sullen one is acting on her own again.

Is it about time to punish her?

No, he's not signaling.

We've got to cut him out!

Eren!

Hot! He's almost too hot to touch!

Hange-san, wait! Eren's bleeding!

Look at that, Moblit!

Quick, do a sketch of Eren's face!

Squad Leader! Have you lost your humanity?!

Sorry, I got carried away...

Looks like it'll be a long while

before we can use the Titans' hardening ability to seal the wall.

Yes.

I knew it was a long shot when I suggested it.

It's a good plan in theory.

We wouldn't need to transport tons of materials to the wall, only Eren.

But in the end, only Eren can take the shot.

The experiment is over!

All troops, disperse at once!

Understood!

Make sure nobody witnessed the test!

Yes, sir!

Get on the wagon Eren's in.

I'm headed for Trost District with Hange's group.

Okay.

You must find her at once.

She may be able to tell you truths that even we do not know.

Trost District

Trost District

I see. Another failed attempt.

If the plan had worked,

we could have plugged the hole in Shiganshina District in less than a day.

We don't have enough information.

We'd be in a better position if there was a book about the hardening ability.

But we have Krista—no, Historia Reiss.

Maybe she can tell us more about the wall.

I read the report about her upbringing.

She's the illegitimate daughter of Lord Reiss,

and her life's story is truly miserable.

But our real concern should be

why a mere regional lord would know the secrets of the wall.

Eren!

You should still be in bed!

I'm fine. I slept through the whole day.

It's my fault that the plan to retake Wall Maria got shelved.

No, it's not.

Don't blame yourself.

All I really want is another shot at that Beast Titan.

I won't forgive that damn ape for as long as I live.

It's about time to switch lookouts.

Mikasa?

Yeah.

Must be nice.

You and the others all have such clear goals, even if they lead to hardships.

I don't even know what I want anymore, now that Ymir is gone.

Don't you want to save her?

Yeah, but...

At the time, I felt like I couldn't forgive her, but I also wanted to save her.

But now that I've had a chance to think,

I can see that Ymir chose her own fate.

I have no right to change that, and no need to.

At least you're finally talking normally again.

When we came here, you told us all about yourself,

but you haven't smiled once since then, and you've hardly spoken either.

It's too much effort.

Sorry.

I'm not going to play at being happy and kind as Krista ever again.

Well, I think I like you better this way.

You always used to seem like you were putting on an act.

It was so unnatural, it always creeped me out.

I see...

But now you're acting a lot more natural.

Honest to a fault, but completely normal.

Anyway, you have plenty of time to think about Ymir.

I'm still thinking about her too.

Wait, wasn't that...

Hange-san and the others are here!

Everyone to the main room!

Huh? Come again?

Pastor Nick is dead.

He's been murdered.

This morning, in the Trost District barracks.

Hey!

Don't sully the crime scene, you dumb Corpsman!

Stay right where you are.

This is our job, not yours.

Another victim of armed robbery and assault.

These types of crimes have been on the rise.

That's absurd!

Look, his nails were torn off!

Which unit are you in?

Fourth Squad Leader Hange Zoe and Executive Officer Moblit Berner.

Your ranks are meaningless coming from the trash that is the Survey Corps.

Look. It wasn't a Titan that killed this man.

This was murder, plain and simple.

It's not your place to intervene.

First Interior Squad?

What is a squad from the capital doing all the way down here in Trost?

What's so strange about that?

Unlike you useless layabouts, we Military Police have a lot of work to do.

Oh, how could I forget?

It must be because I'm so worthless.

Meeting such illustrious soldiers in person is an honor!

Please let me shake your hand!

But to see poor Nick robbed like this...

It's such a pity.

Did he have anything that was worth stealing in the first place?

Of course.

Who doesn't know that the Church's holy objects are made from precious iron?

Huh?!

So Nick was a pastor for the Church of the Walls?

What fresh nonsense is this?

He and I were friends for a long time.

But I was under the impression that he was a mere chair maker.

It's even written right on his application.

Will you stop—

Well, I guess this means I just never knew old Nick as well as I thought I did.

Hey! Let go!

Oh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking!

I wish you luck with the investigation.

And I'd like you to convey a message to the culprit for me.

I'm sure you feel that the things you did to him were righteous and just.

But I don't have a shred of sympathy for that line of thought.

I will personally see to it that you are tortured alive, like Nick was,

so that you might suffer the same fate you brought upon my dear friend!

Yes, you'll be sorry!

Please tell the criminal that.

We'll take our leave now.

Squad Leader, do you really think they...

Without a doubt.

First Interior Squad, Djel Sannes...

The skin on his knuckles was split wide open.

Nick was tortured by the Interior Military Police

and then murdered.

I knew the Church would have it in for Nick after he agreed to help us.

That's why I put him up in the barracks with a fake identity.

I never expected them to send soldiers to execute him.

I was too careless.

It's entirely my fault.

Did the Military Police torture Pastor Nick just to find out what he told us?

Most likely.

But it was also the Interior Military Police, so there must be more to it.

So how many of Nick's nails were torn off?

Huh?

You saw, right? How many?

I only caught a glimpse of him,

but from what I could tell, all of them.

People will either spill the beans after one

or hold out no matter how many nails you pull.

To be honest, I didn't think much of Pastor Nick.

But he stood by his beliefs all the way to the end.

That means they probably have no idea that we've learned about the Reiss family.

But now we also know that someone is watching us from on high, and not for friendly reasons.

Captain Levi.

There's word from Commander Erwin.

I meant to tell him about Pastor Nick, but he sent me right back with this.

Everyone out.

We're not safe here.

Leave no trace of our presence.

That was close.

What would have happened to us if we hadn't left immediately?

But how did Commander Erwin...

New orders came from the government.

The Survey Corps are banned from venturing outside the wall.

And we're to hand over Eren and Historia.

Immediately after he gave me that message,

the Military Police arrested Commander Erwin.

Why are they treating him like a criminal?!

Someone isn't working from the shadows anymore.

They don't care who sees them anymore.

They must want to protect the walls' secrets at all costs.

But what could they want from Eren and Historia?

I could see killing them, but why do they want them alive?

Who knows?

At least it's clear that the enemy is after those two.

We shouldn't stick around here any longer.

We're moving her and Eren to Trost District.

Why move them to the city where Pastor Nick was killed?

We need to stay away from the interior.

With Trost in a panic, it should be easy to slip in.

And if it becomes necessary, we can use these more freely in the city.

Good point.

Plus, we're at a disadvantage against an unknown enemy.

We need to find out who's behind this.

Hange, lend me some of your soldiers.

Of course.

All right, I'm going after Erwin.

Moblit stays with me.

The rest of you, go with Levi.

Roger!

Hange-san!

Here.

Earlier, I remembered something Ymir and Bertolt talked about.

I didn't have time to tell you, so I wrote it down.

All right.

I'll be sure to read this later.

They certainly move quickly.

That runt actually knows what he's doing.

You've met?

A while back, yes.

Titan Bodies

Titans' bodies vary greatly in size and shape,

but every one of them has a weak point one meter tall

and ten centimeters wide at the nape of the neck.

Damaging this area causes the Titan's regeneration to halt and

its body to rapidly sublimate.

The area of this organ is believed to be where

the original human that formed the titan resides.

Don't walk too close together. We'll stand out.

Eren and Historia, try to walk normally.

Why is the royal family's flag hanging everywhere?

Oh! Today must be the anniversary of the monarchy's establishment.

They give out special rations for it every year.

Huh.

We'll begin distributing rations shortly!

King Fritz has heard of Trost District's hardship and will donate the royal family's reserves!

There's enough for everyone, so form an orderly line!

Thank goodness!

Long live King Fritz!

Now that's generosity befitting a king!

It just means he has that much to spare.

People are too easily swayed by food.

We used up over 60% of our reserves in one day.

Don't you think this is too steep a price for raising the people's morale, Lord Reiss?

Not at all. This was a necessary sacrifice to endear the royal family to the public.

What we need now is that power and the vessel.

The sooner the better.

The Military Police failed, eh?

I will continue the pursuit at once, sir.

No, we'll soon have what we need.

That plan has been set in motion.

Watch out! Behind us!

Armi—

I mean, Krista and Eren!

They've been kidnapped again!

Can this really work?

He looks absolutely nothing like me.

His horse face will give him away.

Yeah? You like that? Let me hear you moan.

Come on, admit it. You're enjoying this.

Go on and let me hear your voice. You know you want to.

This is why I didn't wanna go through this shit a second time!

I'm through with being his double!

You're so muscular for a girl your age.

How's it going down there?

We should hurry before they realize Armin isn't who he seems.

I also feel bad for him.

I see.

How's your leg feeling?

I can move it just fine. It's not bad.

But more importantly, these kidnappers are awfully green.

Why would they send amateurs on a job like this?

I think you can handle the rest yourself.

I'll rendezvous with Eren.

Take out the trash and then come meet up with me.

Understood.

And there's one more thing I should tell you, just in case.

Let the rest of the squad know, too.

You're positive that it's Krista and Eren?

Yes. They match the descriptions we were given.

Huh? Where's the guard?

What the—

You stay right there.

Connie! Are you sure it's just these four?

Yeah, that's all of them!

There's nobody else nearby!

If you move again, I won't aim for the gun next time!

All right, once you finish tying them up, let's meet up with the captain.

Wait, why's that?

Those are his orders,

and he left a message too.

Hey! Get outta the way!

Captain?

Well?

The road is crowded, but nothing seems out of place.

Commander Pixis is just a little bit further ahead.

Did they buy the disguises?

They did.

You don't look very happy about it.

No.

Something's not right.

The Military Police can't be behind this.

Those self-important bastards would never hire amateurs.

This feels like...

What if another group was following the wagon

and waiting for the chance to strike?

Captain.

The wagon's about to start moving.

Nifa, have you heard of Kenny the Ripper?

The mass murderer in the capital?

The one who slit the throats of over 100 Military Police?

Isn't that just an old urban legend?

He's real, and the stories are true.

I lived with him for a while when I was a kid.

Huh? What are you talking about?

This isn't a good time for jokes.

If it were him, he wouldn't object to hiring amateurs.

If a group was trailing the wagon, they would flank it from the rear,

using a high-up vantage point...

Nifa!

Yo, Levi.

Have you grown since I last saw you?

Oho, it looks like you haven't gained an inch!

Kenny!

Kenny and Levi reunite.

Eren and Historia are targeted by the enemy.

To get them back safely,

Levi and the others must take aim at their opponents.
