Original subtitles

Blades drawn, now!

It'll happen in the blink of an eye

Be ready.

[Levi]: Go move it

[Gunther]: Holly shit,

How the hell are we supposed to pull evasive maneuvers in here?

[Eld]: It's catching up

[Petra]: Captain, engage the ODM gear?

Captain?

Where're you going

[Petra]: rear-reinforcements

[Petra]: Captain, your orders?

[Oluo]: It's dangerous, let's take it out

[Oluo]: Tell us to engage, Sir!

[Gunther]: She's gaining on us, let's just take her out

[Eld]: It's the whole reason we're here, isn't it?...right Sir?

[Eld]: Captain!

[Eren]: Your orders, Sir....Please.

[Levi]: Everyone, cover your ears...Now!

Bite

Was that an acoustic round?

Remind me, what is our mission?

Is it just simply act on impulse in the heat of the moment?

Let me answer that question for you

It's not

This squad's mission is to keep this brat alive

Whatever the cost

don't forget it

[Eren]: It's not just to police me?

We keep pushing forward

On horseback, is that clear?

As a bell, Sir!

But for how long?

We can't keep running forever...

She's right on top of us as it is

If we don't do something soon...huh!

No

They keep coming

They're all gonna die Unless we turn around and do something

[Gunther]: Eyes front, Stop looking behind us

Seriously!

[Eld]: Keep pace with the group maintain top speed or we're all dead

Eld please, help them

If the Levi squad can't stop this thing then who can? those men need us.

[Eren]: Another one!

[Eren]: Damn it, He didn't have to die

Come on, there's still one left, we can save him before it's too late

[Petra]: Do as you told Eren, eyes forward

How can all of you just ignore what's happening back there?

Are you telling me to abandon my comrades? is that it?

[Petra]: Damn it, yes...stop whining and do as your captain tells you

Why are we letting people die?

If this is part of some bigger picture, why can't somebody explain it to me?

"Ask not the reason why, ask but to do and die"

You'd understand what that meant if you weren't such a useless greenhorn

Now stifle it, behave like a soldier

No..

I can do this without them

I don't need to rely on anyone else

I'm a squad all to myself

No Eren, Stop!

You're only permitted to assume Titan form when your life's in extreme peril

That was the agreement you swore an oath

Eren

[Levi]: I wouldn't blame you

[Levi]: Do as some conscience dictates

But Eren listen...you are not inherently evil

Your ability to change doesn't make you a monster

That said, it could be the other way around

How are you supposed to know where to draw the line, whether you lose control or freely give it up

Maybe it's the same

And slaughter every Titan that crosses my path

look Eren...

We don't agree because our experience brings us to opposing views

That's life

At the end of the day there's no reason to go against how you see it

The choice is yours

You can trust yourself...

Or you can trust the people willing to put their lives on the line for you

I don't know which way is better

I never have

Should I act on my own instincts?

Or put myself in the hands of my comrades and trust them?

Either way, there's no guarantee

In the end you choose when you choose

If afterwards your regrets are at a minimum, Good for you.

Eren

Trust us.

[Levi]: Good news, there may be a way to stop you, without killing you

Sir?

In your Titan form

We may have some middle ground after all

A fail-safe if you will

The method I've come up with will only leave you mutilated

Well at least in theory, depends on an individual skill

Essentially we cut the entire nape from the body, with you inside

Your arms and legs will be severed halfway down in the process

But you'll survive

As a matter of fact, they'll probably just grow back lizard style, creepy little bastard

hold on a sec

I'm not really sure how they do it, I mean they might but

Maybe it's not worth the risk that they won't

Oh I see, you're only up for this, if there's no risk involved whatsoever

No

Then be prepared

We're in the same boat

If you go on a rampage you could kill us

So we're even

Yes Sir, seems perfectly fair to me

Just to be clear I have to go ahead right

We can't afford not to run tests so yes you're good

Just try to keep him from going rogue right out of the gate

Oh not to worry I have a plan

Eren I know you're still a mystery to yourself, but we learn as we go

Knowledge is always worth the risk

I believe that

You ready down there my dear?

When we're good to begin I'll fire off the smoke signal

What happens after that's entirely up to you

Ready when you are, commander

hmm

If the boy loses control this well should hold until he wears himself out

If not we'll go with Levi's method perfect

All right

It's been a while, since Trost actually

I've gotta keep a hold of myself

The Levi squad well within their jurisdiction to kill me if I lose control

I don't understand it perhaps he missed the signal

Perhaps...

Or perhaps were just naive to expect he can turn it on and off

Eren, enough we're done for today

Did something go wrong down there...

I'm sorry

I don't think I can do it now

You're telling me that bite wounds on your hands show no sign of healing?

None, Sir

no offense but you're not much good to us in this form

If you can't change, our plans for wall Maria go up in smoke

Pull it together, and yes that is an order

Yes, Sir!

Come on, don't lose heart kid, you'll get it

Maybe, I don't know

Well...that's one hell of a way to learn you're more human than suspected

Look at it this way, it's a lot better to find out now than in the field

Back to the drawing board..huh

He's right, no such thing as being too careful when so much is riding on you

How?

How can they all be so damn calm

Are they actually relieved I can't turn into a Titan?

Is everything okay?

Yeah

What the...Titan steam?

What the hell's going on over there?

Dammit, why now?

calm down

I'm sorry captain, I...I don't know how I...

The situation is complicated

Now calm down

Please be what I think it was! Please be what I think it was!

[Eld]: Eren what the hell you think you're doing

Sir, please

[Eld]: No one gave you permission to transform

Did they?

[Levi]: I said calm down [Oluo]: Answer the question Eren, what got into you?

[Gunther]: Leave it, explanations could come later

first things first you need to persuade us you're not hostile like your life depends on it

Prove it or we kill you,

[Gunther]: The burden of proof is yours kid

[Oluo]: So much as twitch an arm and I'll lob your head off

This is the first and only warning you'll receive

I can end you in a heartbeat do you understand me boy- [Levi]: Oluo,

[Levi]: How many times do I have to say it- [Petra]: Captain, I need you to step away you're too close

Right now I believe you're the ones who need to step away

[Levi]: Do it- [Petra]: Why on Earth-

[Levi]: Gut feeling- [Eld]: Eren, better say something

[Eren]: I don't- [Oluo]: Don't try anything cute-

[Gunther]: Prove you're not hostile-

[Eren]: Seriously, I don't-

I'll do it I swear to God

Are you with us or not-

Do you hear me-

Be quite

All of you just be quite

Eren!

I wanna touch the arm, I wanna touch the arm

Pretty please, with sugar on top let me touch this glorious thing

I don't think that's such a good- wait no!

Oh, son of a bitch

That mother is hot when there is no skin

[Hange]: This is the best day in the history of science [Moblit]: You're a maniac

[Moblit]: You hear me? a maniac

Are you not burning up? what's it like?

How is it connected to your hand?

Oh you have to show me, I really really wanna see

Wait yeah!

I should just be able to pull it out

Come...on

Are you ignoring me?

Don't try anything stupid

No!...What're you doing?...that's so soon

I wanted to put it under the knife

Sorry captain

So you feeling okay or what?

Not...

Exactly...

No...

That was quite a wake-up call, let me tell you till their blades were drawn

I had no idea how little they trusted me,

Then what did you expect?

A suspicious nature was the top of my criteria

Traditionally, you're not considered a real scout 'til you'd come back alive

But out there, there's always so little Intel to go on

So many uncertainties and unknowns, it's a miracle any of us come back alive.

You have to be reactive, quick.

Hit the ground running while anticipating the worst.

That doesn't make them heartless though, they're not just a bunch of mindless machines

Whatever that might have looked like out there today

I can promise you that every single one of them was conflicted

[Moblit]: Captain Levi!

[Moblit]: Section commander Hange would like a word, Sir

Man, how long of a shit were you taking anyway.

[Hange]: Oh long enough to get the job done, thank you for asking.

Meeting the brass can do a number on your bowels.

But enough about that.

Feast your eyes on this.

[Eren]: That's the spoon, right?

[Hange]: The very one

Your spontaneous Titan arm erupted into being while holding it

Like so, resting between the thumb and the index finger

The world operates on chance so coincidences are expected.

But this begs something more.

This utensil wasn't warped by the heat or by the pressure.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Uh...All know is that I went to pick it up

When I did the arm came out of nowhere.

Interesting!

This might explain why you couldn't change in the well,

I'm certain of it

[Hange]: Slaying Titans,

[Hange]: Blocking cannon fire,

[Hange]: Lifting big rocks,

[Hange]: In each instance before assuming Titan forms

[Hange]: Seemingly at will, there was a distinct goal in mind.

I believe it's possible that self-harm isn't the only catalyst of transformation

It appears as though a clear objective is a crucial ingredient as well

I think you might be onto something

This last time was a lot like the time with the cannon ball

But I...

I transformed into a Titan just to pick up a damn spoon?

That's insane!

[Gunther]: So what I'm getting out of this, is what you pulled wasn't something you did on purpose?

[Eren]: No, Sir!

[Eren]: What the-

[Eren]: What you think you're doing?

[Gunther]: Ow

[Eld]: 'key hurts like a son-of-a-bitch, damn kid.

I'm impressed you can sink your teeth in that deep without shrieking

[Gunther]: We made a judgment call today and it was wrong.

Consider this our way of apologizing

That is if you can find it in your heart to forgive us

[Eren]: Huh?

[Oluo]: We have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions, okay

Make the best call we can with what we know

It's our job to keep you in check

[Petra]: The fact is we were scared

That's no excuse I know

You have every right to be upset

But...

All that aside

We're doomed, if we can't trust one another.

Just as you are if you can't trust us.

Eren!

I'm asking you

Trust us

[Levi]: Eren

[Levi]: C'mon, make up your damn mind

[Eren]: I'm with you.

[Soldier]: No--

[Eren]: Forgive me

[Gunther]: Target is accelerating!

[Levi]: Just keep moving, We'll outrun the bitch!

[Eren]: Outrun it?

[Eren]: Are you kidding me?

[Eren]: We keep ridding with our backs to her like this,

[Eren]: We'll be crushed before we know what hit us

No!

We are at death's door

We've seen our comrades die left and right.

And we're still moving forward

They trust the captain and he trusts them

That's what this is about

That's why they can all keep moving

I...

I need to be apart of it.

I need to trust them,

Like they trust me.

[Erwin]: FIRE!

Everyone hitch your horses a bit further on.

Switch to ODM gear.

I have to break away for a little while.

Eld's in charge till I get back .

Tuck Eren somewhere out of sight, away from the female Titan.

And see to my horse

Wait..what?

They're going to take her alive? Seriously?

So what do you think of us now Eren? we managed to outsmart the damn thing

Let this be a lesson to you greenhorn don't ever underestimate the scouts

Never again, Agreed?

Agreed!

She's not putting up much of a fight

[Erwin]: That's no reason to let our guard down.

Good work leading her here

I'm more than a little impressed

We couldn't have without the rear contingent

Whose lives bought us time

This belongs to them

I don't intend to ever forget that

[Erwin]: That so?

[Levi]: Yes.

[Levi]: Because of their sacrifices,

We can expose whoever this really is.

Ten to one they're in there pissing themselves right about now

Erwin smith's top secret plan to capture the female Titan has succeeded

But as the Scout regiment attempts to reveal her true identity

They find a nasty shock waiting for them
