What choice do we have?
The world is a cruel place!
I swore... to kill them all!
Every last one!
And just like that...
Everything changed.
At that terrible moment,
in our hearts, we knew.
Home was a pen. Humanity... cattle.
Eren!
Eren...

brothers and sisters.
Let us pray for the continued strength of saints Maria, Rose, and Sina.
May they stand firm.
Their grace is a manifestation of our good faith...
We give thanks to the light of the divine architect.
He whose wisdom is the mortar;
whose sublime love for his creation is the steadfast stone.
He, and he alone, protects us from
the Titan scourge, in proportion to our worship.
Verily... innocence and obedience are all he asks...
No! Impossible!
Dear God! Please! Not the wall!
Stay away!
Well I daresay it looks like our boy's in control of himself this time.
Yeah. Still, though... There's no guarantee
this will turn out any differently than their last meeting.
Come on, he wouldn't have transformed...
Unless he knew he could take her this time...
He's got this, okay?
I don't doubt that.
But determination alone isn't enough to win a fight.
You of all people should know that.
It'll take more than that to beat Annie.
A lot more.
Damn it!
She's making a break for level ground!
So much for our gear! What now?
Split into two teams and go around!
Understood!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
Son of a... where'd they come from?
Annie... always so cynical...
Like every little thing around you was pointless.
Nothing worth a second look.
Every now and then, though, I could see through the act...
Especially when you were showing off your fighting skills.
Maybe hand-to-hand combat didn't count for squat
against our final grade back at the academy...
But to you? It was a different story altogether.
Yeah... about that much at least.
It was obvious you were a liar.
Fighting's your whole world,
but what exactly are you fighting for?
What could possibly have been worth all this death and destruction?!
Oh, God...
Section commander, I hate to say it,
but the city'll be debris and corpses before long...
Even if we manage to catch her.
Well, then that's how it's gonna be!
We're sticking to commander Erwin's plan, got it?
So stop babbling and ready the nets.
Right.
Eren...
We didn't sign up for this.
They... they didn't say there'd be Titans fighting in the streets.
No kidding. This is crazy.
We've got two of 'em hashing it out in the streets?
Yes, Sir.
The city's collapsing like a house of cards.
It's just... it's horrifying...
We can only guess how many casualties...
Erwin! Your arrogance has brought hell right to our door!
I know.
I acted entirely on my own authority.
And I offer no excuses.
You knew what this would do to us, you son of a bitch!
You knew and our lives be damned!
Why? Damn you, why?
For humanity.
For victory.
don't give me that!
You're nothing but a traitor!
I ought to kill you right here and now!
None of the higher ups would fault me!
Do as your conscience dictates.
My post is yours.
The female Titan must not escape.
Deployment is through peer and Beirer is in command of provisions.
Work with them closely.
Do whatever is required to ensure she doesn't...
Shut up!
Do... do you really believe...
...this is for the good of us all?
I have faith it's a step forward.
Everyone, lower your rifles.
Place this man under arrest.
Sir!
Deploy all troops immediately.
As of now... focus on evacuation.
Yes, Sir!
Erwin...
I hereby wash my hands of you and leave you to the high court.
I'll accept their judgment. Thank you, nile.
Levi. For now, stay here.
A pointless death wouldn't suit you.
No, I doubt it would...
Any more than it suits anyone else.
To rise above monsters, we have to abandon our humanity.
What we fight, we become...
...fire with fire.
Look at her. Annie can do it.
Annie...
Annie!
Annie...
I believe in you.
I'm always on your side.
I... will... kill them...
Every last one!
Eren!
What is he...?
Help him!
No! With the state he's in,
it's probably best that we keep our distance.
God.
She's headed up the wall!
She's trying to escape!
No, no, no! We can't let her get away!
I won't let her!
It's over, Annie.
Now fall.
Annie...
I'm so sorry.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
But... please...
Please just...
Stand your ground. Stand your ground
even if the whole world stands against you.
Die... all of you... everything...
They'll despise you...
They won't understand.
But I will. Your dad always will.
Oh, no! He's gonna devour her whole!
Eren! Back off!
don't do it!
This... is freedom!
Promise me you'll return...
That's all I ask.
Wha... what's he doing?
Son of a...?
They're merging?
Stop it, Eren!
It's not a good idea to eat our key evidence...
You idiot.
Eren.
Mikasa... is Annie...?
Damn it!
All the shit we've been through and this is what we get?
Annie! Wake up!
C'mon, face the music! You owe us!
don't be a coward! I know you can hear me!
That's enough.
It's over.
Someone get me a wire net!
This thing belongs deep underground!
Understood!
What have we done?
If we can't get any answers out of her, then what was the point of all this?
We're left with nothing but countless casualties,
ruined lives, and unanswered questions.
All for what?
Well, it was a valiant effort.
Can't win 'em all though, right?
Right.
At the very least the scout regiment's been exonerated.
Sure, by the skin of its teeth, but still.
Let's hope the brass agrees.
As you might imagine, we have many questions.
If the target's identity was beyond all doubt,
why would you neglect to request aid from the military police?
Discretion. We had reason to believe she was
operating in conjunction with other insiders.
I felt it was necessary to involve only those well above suspicion, Sir.
Yes. And the price of your "discretion" was the near obliteration of Stohess.
Well done.
I didn't foresee the damage's scale, Sir.
Blame my incompetence.
Blame isn't going to rebuild my roof!
If the female Titan were left to roam free...
The wall was subject to breach...
And the damage to Stohess would've been beyond devastating.
Perhaps.
Erwin...
You have me grasping at straws to exonerate you...
What I need is proof that your tactics yielded some manner of benefit.
Granted, Annie Leonhart is rendered innocuous,
but also essentially useless.
Yes, Sir. That she is.
Are you saying...
It was all for nothing...?
Hey.
You feel okay?
Yeah...
In fact it's weird how "okay" I feel.
So, is... Annie still stuck in that thing?
Uh-huh.
Yeah... you'd think after all we sacrificed
to get her back, fate would cut us a little slack.
It's humbling, knowing how far she'll go to keep her secrets.
Humbling? More like infuriating.
Why'd you let her go, Eren?
You did... didn't you?
You gave her an out.
I know. I didn't mean to, I...
I just couldn't help it.
When I saw her face, I just froze...
Armin Arlelt, and Jean Kirschtein...
You two are up first.
Yes, Sir.
Debriefing time.
See you later, I guess.
Sure.
Honestly... it felt kinda... good.
Just letting go...
My body, my mind, everything...
For a minute it was almost...
Like I wanted to die...
Eren, stop it!
don't worry, I'm better now.
I'm glad...
I'm glad you're back...
I can't get my head wrapped around it.
This whole fighting fire with fire business or whatever.
Is that really the only option we've got?
Not necessarily. Just the only one that's presented itself.
And now we know Eren can do it.
Yeah, well... if it's that easy for the fight to turn us all into monsters...
...then maybe we don't deserve to win.
Go on.
No one ever promised us we'd come out of this unscathed.
For nothing? I believe this latest tragedy
has moved us forward by leaps and bounds, Sir.
Not long ago, we hadn't even imagined
the possibility of humans transforming into Titans.
Now, we're not only aware of the enemy in our midst...
We've managed to capture one of them.
Make no mistake, there are more out there. And we will hunt down every last one.
The initiative is ours.
Starting now...
We launch an attack on the Titans within our walls!
The scout regiment's recall to the capital and Eren's incarceration were rescinded.
Instead, they were charged with guarding Annie Leonhart in her holding cell
deep underground, where they kept strict vigil day and night.
Sadly, however...
It would take a far longer time...
And cost a great many more lives...
for humanity to discover the true nature... of what it held captive.
