[WORKERS gasp]
--Wait. What the--?
--Get back here!
Damn it all. They got us again.
Somebody! Call the MPs!
Woohoo!
Hey, Levi!
Look sharp.
We're gettin' tailed.
Heh. So they're still after us?
These MPs never learn, do they?
Did'ja hear me, Levi?
That was a pretty
cool line, right, bro?
[LEVI]
Don't be stupid.
[FURLAN] They're no real thr*at,
but I still wish
they'd stop throwing
soldiers at us.
It's 'cause the merchants who
do business here nag them to.
Yeah! We did just lift
another "unofficial donation"
from their vaults, so I bet
they're pretty pissed.
Hey, we're just helping them
avoid getting fat 'n complacent.
They oughtta thank us for
the service! Ungrateful jerks!
[LEVI]
Furlan. Isabel. Speed up.
[NARRATION]
The Underground.
It's a desperate, squalid place.
A perfect counterweight to
the splendor and safety
of the royal capital,
which thrives just above it.
Construction of this
subterranean colony
was called off long ago.
It's since come to be peopled by
the descendants of
vagrants and outlaws.
Born in the capital's shadow,
they may spend
their entire lives without
ever seeing the sun.
Here. Sorry to keep ya.
That's for today
and for last time.
[COMRADES chuckle]
[FURLAN]
Here.
Right. Thanks, I appr--
[gasps]
Okay, guys. Don't spend it
all in one place, okay?
You'll draw too much attention.
Right, we know the drill.
Let's go!
--[COMRADE A] Sure.
--[COMRADE B] Yeah.
These jobs have gotten
a hell of a lot easier lately.
The ODM gear's
a real game-changer.
Means everyone gets
a better cut now.
Seems like some of our people
get better cuts than the rest.
Why is that?
You mean Yan.
It's because of his leg,
it's getting even worse.
You've seen him.
The medicine's expensive.
And they just keep
gouging the price.
Damn. The merchants
down here're vultures.
I'm betting you heard,
but they decided
to crank up the
stairway tolls again.
[LEVI]
Yeah.
It's awful.
Now, even fewer of us
can hope to get
a taste of sunlight.
[FURLAN] Instead of competing,
the different stair owners
agree on fixed prices.
Which means they
pretty much get to extort us.
And even if you do
save enough to pay the toll,
if you don't have proof of
residence on the surface,
you'll just get tossed
back down later.
[FURLAN] The lack of
sunlight causes all sorts
of health problems,
bad legs included.
Everyone knows it.
But what's there to do?
Your mom had the same
condition Yan has, right?
[LEVI]
So that's why. Huh.
Still, that was a significant
chunk of change.
[FURLAN]
It's severance pay.
He can't run anymore,
so he's out.
Hopefully, this'll help him
pay for a doctor.
I see.
Just how much more do we need
to get to live on the surface?
[thud]
[thud]
[gasps]
[ISABEL groans]
Ouch!
[FURLAN]
Thought we were gettin' raided.
Don't scare us like that, kid.
[ISABEL]
Don't call me that. Ever.
I'm not a... kid!
You're not?
Well then I won't feel bad
about running you outta here.
You got my floor dirty,
but if you get lost now,
then I'll forgive you.
What's the deal?
Are you too weak to stand?
Of course, I'm not!
Just get off my back.
[FURLAN] You're scrappy.
I'll give ya that.
[THUG A]
This way!
Tch. So somebody
chased you here.
What's the plan?
Dammit! Stupid brat.
She'll pay for bitin' me.
Lemme have some fun with her
before we do
anything else, 'kay?
[THUG B]
You can try.
Ain't nothin' fun about
a brat like that, though.
[THUG A] Hey! You see a filthy
urchin come through here?
Yeah, sounds like every
kid in this neighborhood.
Huh? I take it you're
the local thugs?
You're the thug.
[THUG A]
Hey! I found her!
[THUG B] Knew she'd be here.
So what, is she yours?
No.
[THUG C] Then you've got
no cause to protect her.
Give her here and
we'll be on our way.
The girl's gotta pay.
She tried to plow
through Stair Eleven
without paying our fee,
understand?
As I'm sure you're both aware,
Stair Eleven is owned and
operated by Councilor Lovof,
and he's not to be messed with.
She might've
botched her attempt,
but we still need to
make an example of her.
And if you guys shelter her,
we'll have to do
the same to you.
[gasps]
Well? Are you gonna
give her up or not?
I'll just take her.
They won't mind.
[thudding]
Keep your filthy hands off me.
I don't want you
smudging my shirt.
[FURLAN] Sorry, 'bout that.
We're clean freaks here.
You prob'ly shouldn't
come back, but if ya do,
be sure to wash
your hands first.
[THUG B] These guys are
nut jobs. Let's go.
So you know.
Whatever you're holding,
you're about to smother it.
Huh?
It needs air to breathe.
[gasps] Oh, uh. I was just
trying to keep it warm.
[FURLAN]
Wait, why do you have a bird?
Think it flew in
through a cr*ck,
then ended up
getting lost down here.
So, I'm gonna help it
get back to the surface.
What? You serious?
You really tried
to break through
one of the stair tolls
just to help a bird?
He hasn't been flying.
I'm sure he'd rather do it under
the sun than stuck down here.
Not saying that's wrong,
but he isn't flying because
his wings are hurt.
Huh? Are you sure?
Huh! Wow! You're good at that!
Say. We never swapped names.
Mine's Isabel, what's yours?
Oh, I'm Furlan.
And this is Levi.
Cool. Hi.
Levi, huh? Think I'll
call you "bro"!
Come again?
Hey! I want in!
Lemme join your g*ng, okay?
Huh?
I know you guys.
You're the ones
that have ODM gear.
I've seen you flying around!
I've always been
so jealous of you.
You're just as free as birds.
So please. Let me fly, too!
I'll learn fast!
Well, Levi?
[ISABEL]
Well?
If you're gonna stay
with us, then before you
learn how to fly,
you'll learn how to clean.
[gasps]
[ISABEL]
Thanks, bro! You're the best!
What's up, old-timer?
Need something?
I've come here
to offer you a job.
Yeah, well you're
botherin' the wrong crew.
We're not interested
in taking jobs.
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE]
We'll pay you well.
Just get lost.
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE] You should
know that we've already
started making
your down payment.
What're you talkin' about?
We haven't even met you before.
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE] No, but
we've a mutual acquaintance now.
He'll be along soon.
Yan!
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE]
His leg requires expert care.
The kind he can only hope
to find on the surface.
Isn't that right, Levi?
What're you try'na pull?
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE]
I told you.
We're making a down payment.
Now will you listen to me?
Yeah, fine.
Uh, thanks. I appreciate this.
[LOVOF]
This is the group?
[LOVOF'S SUBORDINATE]
Yes. Their skill should suffice.
And who the hell might you be?
[LOVOF] I can understand
why you might be suspicious,
but you have every
reason to trust me.
[FURLAN]
Heh. Why's that?
[LOVOF]
Because I came here to meet
with you in person,
for one thing.
That decision wasn't
without its risks.
Then there's the
down payment I made.
Things might work
different up there,
but in the underground,
we call that "taking a hostage."
Finally, you should
trust me because
I'm offering you a reward
that no one else can.
Complete this job, and yes,
you'll receive more money
than you've ever seen
in once place before,
but you'll receive
something else, too.
Residency. Up here
on the surface.
[BOTH gasp]
Hey, Levi. We're ready
when you are.
I confirmed what
they said about Yan.
He's in one of the best
hospitals in the capital.
The guy in that carriage
is legit, and so is this job.
So are we gonna
take him up on his offer?
Come on, Levi. What's the plan?
[LOVOF]
One more thing.
[LOVOF] Whether you agree
to involve yourself
in this business or not,
the target will
come after you, and soon.
[LOVOF] Meaning, you're wrapped
up in this, like it or not.
Well, bro?
We'll act like
nothing's changed.
That being said,
if the old blueblood's right,
and they come after us,
then the job will begin.
Hey there, pup. C'mere. Wait.
You gonna help or not?
[WORKER A]
Yeah, sorry.
[WORKERS gasp]
--Wait. What the--?
--Get back here!
Damn it all. They got us again.
Somebody! Call the MPs!
Woohoo!
Hey, Levi!
Look sharp.
We're gettin' tailed.
[ISABEL]
Heh. So they're still after us?
These MPs never learn, do they?
Did'ja hear me, Levi?
That was a pretty
cool line, right, bro?
[LEVI]
Don't be stupid.
[MPS gasp]
Those movements.
These guys aren't MPs!
[LEVI] No, they're definitely
not. Saw one up close.
[LEVI] And he was wearing
the Wings of Freedom.
It's the Scouts.
Heh. Considering the fact
they fight Titans,
I guess it would make sense
they're this good.
Well, you two?
Know what this means?
Of course!
The job's on. Good luck.
[LEVI] Now then,
let's see if you Scouts
are as good as I think.
[gasps]
[ERWIN]
Stop. Look around you.
Stop pushing! Ow, that hurts!
--Calm down!
--Let go of me or else!
No, you too?
Seems you're possessed
of sound judgment.
I have some questions
for you three.
How'd you obtain your ODM gear?
You're all quite skilled
at maneuvering with it.
Who was it that taught you how?
I take it you're
the group's leader?
Just how much m*llitary
training do you have?
You jerk!
I'll ask you once again.
Who trained you
in the use of ODM gear?
None of us were trained, okay?
We taught ourselves!
That's scarcely possible.
I don't believe you.
Yeah, well the
definition of possible
changes a bit
when you're trying to
survive in a dump like this!
But unless you know
what sewage tastes like,
I doubt that's something
you'd understand!
Tell that thug of yours
to let Levi go already!
You can't just t*rture
people in the street!
I'm Captain Erwin Smith
of the Scouts.
And what's your name?
Levi.
Levi. I'd like to
offer you a deal.
What kind of deal?
I'll overlook
your various crimes,
and you'll lend me
your strength and skill
as members of
the Scout Regiment.
What if I refuse?
[ERWIN]
We'll give you to the MPs.
You've been thorns in
their sides for some time.
So if you go that route,
I doubt you or your comrades
will receive decent treatment.
The choice is yours,
pick a path.
All right, fine.
[ISABEL gasps]
If that's how it is,
then we'll join the damn Scouts.
[NARRATION] No one could've
known the outcome,
but along with
Furlan and Isabel,
Levi joins the Scout Regiment.
He looks at the rd Expedition
Beyond the Walls
as an opportunity to
achieve a certain goal.
