04x25 - Night of the End

[bunniefuu]

My house will be in a prime,
interior neighborhood.

Night and day, I'll sip
on the finest liquor.

I won't care what anyone says.

My wife, kids, and even my grandkids
deserve a bit of the good life, too.

Jean, it's me.

I'm waiting outside.

I didn't notice that.

I didn't hear anything.
Don't go. Don't think.

If I stay put, that prime spot
in the interior is mine.

If I stay...

Thanks for coming, Jean.

Mikasa filled me in on the situation.
Sorry I wasn't around.

You've done well given the
circumstances, you two.

Levi's in bad shape, but alive.
He won't be fighting anytime soon.

We've joined forces with some stragglers
from Marley, including the Cart Titan.

All to stop Eren. Genocide is wrong.

How will you stop him?

First, we need more allies.
Our options depend on who we can get.

But we can't do anything without
you guys and more of the Nine.

The old m*llitary has fallen apart, so I'm
no longer your superior. But I'm asking...

I'll do it.

I won't let Eren k*ll any
more than he has already.

I have to stop him, even if he's
doing it to protect us and the island.

Mikasa...

Supposing that we make
Eren stop, what then?

He only has the Founding
Titan for four more years.

What will happen after that?

If we continue to be the target of
the world's hatred for years to come,

stopping Eren means our
island will be destroyed.

The way I see it, Marley thinks we'll use
the rumbling as soon as we're att*cked.

I think they'll leave us alone,
at least for the time being.

"If we don't destroy the island for good,
who knows when they'll destroy us."

It'll stir up the world more
than Willy Tybur's speech!

You're probably right, but it should buy
the island at least a few more years.

We've already wasted years looking
for answers, and it got us nowhere!

That's why Eren decided to...!

Genocide is wrong!

I'll be damned before
we justify it somehow!

Sorry for raising my voice.

Jean's right. My dumb, wishful
thinking forced Eren to do this.

And despite all my yapping,
I ran away from the problem.

Wanting to forget everything...
Just wanting to live...

But I'm still Commander of the Scouts.

It feels like those who gave their hearts
for humanity's freedom are watching me.

Most of them d*ed without even knowing
humanity existed outside the walls.

Yet, I'm sure none of them would
be so self-centered as to say:

"As long as the island has freedom,
that's all that matters."

Our only chance to stop
the slaughter... is now.

Hange...

I'm... forever a Scout.

"Night of the End"

Wanna stop glaring at each
other and lend me a hand?

Sharing a meal with enemies of w*r, huh?

I'm curious: What changed your mind?

If you let Eren succeed, you'll get your
ideal world... a paradise for island devils.

We would've stopped Eren and
Zeke from coming into contact

had you guys not helped them.

I already explained, General.
We don't wish for genocide.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be
hiding in the forest making stew.

Finally found a sense of justice, huh?

Justice? You wanna talk
to us about justice?

You think we're devils for fighting
off the Titans that you sent?!

Listen, we fought our asses off
'cuz we didn't wanna get eaten alive!

Does that sound like
devils to you, buddy?!

Yeah, you seem like devils to me.

The thr*at of Paradis came true
and now the world's in danger.

This is where all your
fighting got you. Am I wrong?

If not for the wall falling and Eren
having to see his mother get eaten alive,

he wouldn't have done this!
You made him use the rumbling!

You wanna talk history, do you?

You know that Marley was tyrannized
and devastated by Eldia first, right?

Still playing the victim
after , years?

It's like I'm talking to children.

The island's suffering is a joke compared
to , years of tragic history.

Excuse me?

C'mon, that's enough.

It's silly to talk about the past
when none of us were there.

Jean, the general has
trouble understanding us.

We're weird devils who
would give up our paradise

to help the very world that
wants to exterminate us.

For a few months,
we lived in the outside world.

We can't go back to being
ignorant island devils.

So, can you k*ll him?

Can you k*ll Eren?

There're other ways to stop him.

I figured you'd say that.
What, then? Talk him out of it?

You think you can change the mind
of someone slaughtering humanity?

We won't know unless we talk to him.

Let's say you can't convince him and he
won't stop the rumbling. What then?

Can't answer 'cuz you can't
think of him as an enemy?

I knew it. If the rest of us
from Marley try to k*ll Eren,

you guys will end up fighting
us to protect him, guaranteed.

Isn't that right, Mikasa?

You can't even imagine anything being
more important to you than Eren.

So you wanna get rid of me?!

- Eh?!
- Leonhart!

I understand that feeling.
I wanna stop Eren for one reason:

So my father in Marley doesn't die.
That's why I need your help.

If you can change Eren's
mind, all the better.

But until you try,
we shouldn't be fighting.

Fine.

All right, all right!
The stew's ready, so let's eat!

Even with rested horses,
it's five hours to the port.

According to Kiyomi Azumabito, a flying
boat to observe the rumbling is there.

That's how we get near
the Founding Titan.

Go figure. The Azumabito
went behind our backs.

The problem is locating the Founding
Titan. We only have so much fuel.

Right. That's why we captured her.
Where is Jaeger headed to first?

I don't know. And if I did,
why would I tell you?

You taught Jaeger everything
about the mainland.

He likely planned out the rumbling
beforehand. You must know something.

Bastard.

Huh?

Why should I cooperate with
Marleyan bastards like you?

Because your life depends on it.

It's no use. She wants to die.

Weren't you fighting Marley
to save your homeland?

Don't you care if it gets crushed?

Yelena...

She doesn't.

I'll tell you why: Because
she's a Marleyan bastard, too.

You sure got the better
of us in Liberio, Yelena.

Looking into your background
was quite a shock.

Though an ordinary Marleyan,

ever since you met Zeke, you pretended
to be from a country annexed by Marley.

Disappointed with Marley,
you built your own story:

A fairy tale about saving
the world with your prince,

piling on the lies to
carve your place in history.

Your passion is to be admired.

"Save the world."

Are there any words
more sweet and enticing?

The noble deed of saving millions
whispers to your heart.

You gobble it up as if to wash
down the taste of hate.

That's what I see looking at all of you.

Shall I jog your memories a bit?

Reiner Braun.

Just how many Eldians were eaten by
Titans because you broke down the wall?

Annie Leonhart.

You've k*lled quite a few Scouts yourself.

Not to mention all the civilians
you crushed in Stohess.

Oh, as for the Paradis Islanders...

To think such a sensible person would
wreak such havoc on the port, Armin.

If you include all those civilians,
you've built a mountain of corpses.

Let's not forget everyone's heroic
acts in Liberio... especially Jean's.

You courageously fired a Thunder Spear
at Falco while aiming for the Cart Titan.

Also, Gabi over here was the one
who sh*t and k*lled Sasha.

Sasha was such a sweet girl,
even I was saddened.

But you all had been together like
a family since you were Cadets.

Your grief must be immense.

It's good, Hange. Got any more?

Yeah. There's plenty left.

Thanks, Yelena.

You wanna get it all out in the open
so we can sort things out, right?

It's a shame you blew your buddies'
heads off for your failed fantasy.

And it's a shame you've
got a death wish now.

But how thoughtful of you.

Oh, I almost forgot.

What was the name of your friend
that you mentioned to me before?

Oh, right... Marco.

You said that Annie was somehow
involved in his death, right?

Have you asked Annie about
the truth behind his death?

I took Marco's ODM gear away from him.
That's why a Titan ate...

She was just following my orders.

Marco overheard a secret conversation
between Bertholdt and me.

Fearing he knew my identity,

I figured the best way to keep Marco
quiet was for a Titan to eat him.

So after I knocked him onto
a roof and held him down,

I had Annie remove his ODM gear.

Since Marco couldn't go
anywhere, he was eaten.

Did Marco... say anything at the end?

"We haven't even talked this through."

Yeah... That's right.
We've barely tried to talk.

That's why we're still trying
to put each other in the ground.

It's not too late to start.
Here we are talking to each other,

when before, we would've
been at each other's throats.

Could anyone have imagined we'd
be eating together around a fire?

As I watched it happen, I wondered
why Marco was being eaten by a Titan.

- Huh?
- Overcome by anger, I thought,

"How dare you eat Marco," and k*lled it.

Enough. The guilt messed
with your head.

Don't forgive me. I'm... truly worthless.

That's enough!

I'm sorry.

Hey! Jean!

Quit it!

Cut it out!

Jean!

Gabi!

I'm sorry.

We... wanted to wipe out...
everyone living on Paradis Island.

In hopes that the world would forgive us,

we wanted this island...
the devils... to be wiped out.

And now, my mom, dad, and
everyone in Liberio will be wiped out.

I'm sorry.

I know it's absurdly
shameless of me to ask...

...but we need your help! Please!
I'm begging you to help us!

Please! Let's stop the rumbling together!

Please!

- Please!
- Please!

- Please!
- Please!

Please!

Let go.

Where are you going?

Jean! What about your seconds?

It's no use... He left...

Gabi...

So damn noisy.

Get up.

It's time to leave.

You're gonna help us?

Yeah, of course.

Hey! Get your ass up, Reiner!
Your injuries healed a long time ago!

Gabi... Sorry for kicking you. You okay?

Yeah, it's okay. I'm fine.

I see.

Reiner, I'm not apologizing to you.

Yeah, that's fine.

And me...?

It's the Cart.

Stop. It must be something.

It's the port...
It's occupied by the Jaegerists.

They must've used a locomotive.

There're a bunch of soldiers with
Anti-Titan gear on standby.

To save the world, they must stop Eren.

Though determined to do so,
old allies stand in their way.
