It's called a "gas weapon."
The gas was made with some of my spinal fluid.
Inhaling even a small amount makes any Subjects of Ymir freeze up,
lose control of their bodies, and then fall unconscious.
This also etches a coordinate inside them.
I use this path to send the Power of the Titans to said coordinate.
And that's why the people of that village transformed into obedient Titans.
It was called "Ragako." Not "that village."
And seeing as you murdered every person who lived there,
you should learn the name, you bearded shit.
Look. It's not like I wanted to do it.
I just did what was needed to convince the Marleyans
that I was loyal to them.
If they'd learned the truth, I never could've brought hope to this island.
None of this is new to you, though.
I told you guys the exact same thing when I first got here.
Why do you keep asking me about it?
Because I can see that you aren't burdened by a shred of guilt over what you've done.
I still can't tell if you actually wanna save Eldia,
but it's clear that those lives meant nothing to you.
Doubt you were well-liked by the ladies.
Considering how you think you know what everyone else is feeling.
I do know.
And I was liked enough.
- So... - Well good for you!
Anyway, when are you gonna let me meet with Eren, so we can run our experiment?
That isn't my call to make.
We're waiting for HQ.
If your commanders think that they have time to spare,
then they couldn't be more wrong.
On that one point, we agree.
Captain Levi!
What? Are you serious?

This building's so big!
I've never seen anything like it!
Neither have I!
It must be your lucky day.
Y'all ready for some fancy dinin'?
Yeah!
What's the matter, Mia? You got the jitters?
Uh. No, I'm fine. Thanks.
All this fancy stuff make you nervous?
I knew you were country kids, but I didn't know it was this bad.
No. I... Kaya.
Is there actually a Marleyan prisoner of war working at this place?
Yeah, he's here for sure, so get a grip.
And watch out 'cause soldiers eat here, too.
Even if this prisoner can't help us get out,
he'll be good to know.
Mr. Braus! I'm glad that you were able to come.
So am I. Thanks for the invitation.
Wow. Look at all these kids.
You brought quite the crowd with you.
Figured I might as well bring the whole family.
You did say it was "on the house." Right, Nicolo?
Yes. All of you are welcome here.
Come. This way.
I'm really hungry, dad!
That chef named Nicolo is the Marleyan who invited us here.
See if he can help you.
Why was someone like Mr. Braus invited to eat here anyway?
I mean he's not a soldier.
The Braus's eldest was the girl who saved me from a Titan.
They met Nicolo at her grave, and got to talking.
She loved his cooking, so he offered to treat them
to the meal he'll never get to make her.
He didn't say this, but personally,
I think they were in love.
Ben? What's the matter?
You got a stomach bug or somethin'?
No. I'm fine.
Delicious! I've never had a meal this good in my whole life!
Well, if you like that, then just wait till you get to the main dish!
Nicolo, you've got more guests.
Huh? Who's here at this hour?
The Scout Regiment.
Hello there. This urgent? Sorry, but...
I'm preparing a main course for
some very important guests right now.
That's fine. If you're in the middle of something,
you can get back to it.
But, we'd like to have a quick word with you
once you finish up.
You wanna talk? What is this about?
We wondered if you might have some concerns.
The scouts're investigating our detainment.
We were hoping you'd be able to help us.
Yeah. No problem.
I'll ask you to wait in here until I can finish.
Wow. This room is pretty fancy.
I bet it's usually reserved for MPs.
Hey. I've heard a whole lotta talk about this wine.
It's so nice that it's only served to high-ranking members of the military.
Oh yeah? Well, aren't we high-ranking members of the Scouts?
Sure are!
I'd say we've earned a quick sip of liquid luxury.
- Let's have a little... - Don't touch that!
Whoa, calm down, man.
We were just screwing around, so relax.
No need to make a big thing of it.
A wine of this quality would be wasted on Eldians, understand?
- What? - What's with you?
I can't believe you're still spouting that crap.
Regardless of what you've been told,
your wine doesn't care what race we are!
Get your hands off me, Eldian.
I've been civil to you, but that doesn't make us friends.
It sounds to me like you've forgotten your place here.
On this island, you're just...
Just a filthy POW?
Guess that makes us even, you Eldian devil.
What is that guy's problem?
Hell if I know. Whatever!
'Kay. Now. Go for it!
My stomach hurts real bad!
Is there some way we can help?
Don't tell me it's 'cause of something you ate.
I should be okay, but I'm gonna go to the restroom.
I'll go with him.
Just in case something goes wrong while he's in there.
Good luck.
Hey, uh. The restroom is the other way.
That's not what we're here for, Nicolo.
We're warrior candidates from Marley.
And we're in hiding right now.
Huh?
We have reason to believe that this island is about to be invaded
by an allied army made up of every major country in the world.
Until that army comes, just hang in there!
And also, spread the word to any other Marleyan captives you know!
Wait. Take it back a few steps.
How'd a pair of Warrior Candidates like you even get here?
These island devils raided Liberio about a month ago.
This might be hard to believe, but we actually fought our way onto the airship
they used to retreat and got taken prisoner.
Did you kill anyone?
A female... soldier?
Yeah. I brought her down!
I've only rid the world of a few devils so far.
But I give you my word.
Our real revenge hasn't even started yet!
Help's coming. And when the army gets here...
Hey. Stop!
- What is it? - It was you.
You killed her.
You're the little wretch who murdered Sasha!
Falco? Hey. Falco!
Falco. Are you okay?
Falco. Falco!
Get up! Hey! Wake up!
Shit. Shit!
Falco!
Wha... Nicolo! What're you doin' to Ben and Mia?
"Mia" here's been keeping secrets from you.
One being that she was the one who murdered Sasha.
She may be a kid,
but she's also a trained Marleyan soldier.
She climbed aboard the Scout's airship as it left Marley
and shot Sasha in cold blood.
She's the reason your daughter's gone.
Your daughter?
Take it, Mr. Braus. Go ahead.
If you can't bring yourself to kill her, then I can do it for you.
As the father, it's your call.
Wha... What's going on in here?
Everybody hurry over!
Huh? What is it?
That's the kid who shot Sasha!
I heard she was on the run,
but I'm surprised you recognized her.
Wait, what are you planning to do here?
Stay away from me! You hear?
I'm just going to avenge Sasha.
That's all I want!
Stop. Leave Falco out of this, please!
What, is this brat someone special to you?
Is that why he tried to protect you earlier?
You care about him, huh?
Well, I used to care about someone, too!
A dirt-blooded Eldian! A descendant of devils!
A woman who enjoyed the food I cooked more than anyone I'd ever met before!
She saved me from this shitty-ass, pointless war!
She showed me that the person I'm meant to be
is a man who brings people happiness through his cooking.
Her name was Sasha Braus.
She was amazing.
And you stole her from me!
I've lost people, too.
Your Sasha Braus shot two friends of mine!
She gunned them both down as they were protecting their home!
That's why I took revenge on her!
She's the one who started it!
Shut the hell up! Who cares how it started?
Wake up! Open your eyes!
You're supposed to be a Marleyan soldier!
That she-devil must've bewitched you somehow.
Fight! Don't let the devils win!
All right, Nicolo. Gimme that knife.
Please.
Listen, Mr. Braus. This isn't right.
Please drop the knife.
Or maybe just set it down.
I raised Sasha to be self-sufficient.
Uh. What?
I taught her how to use a bow when she was young,
and before long, she got good enough to hunt for food in our forest.
It was our way of life, and we didn't ever wanna give it up.
But after Maria fell, I knew we'd have to
change with the times or die with the old ways,
so I sent Sasha to join civilization.
Then, the world just kept gettin' bigger.
Sasha left our forest and our island behind, to fight some distant enemy.
To shoot folks and get shot.
Thing is.
She left our forest,
but it turns out she just traded it for a bigger one,
where the same rule of "kill or be killed" still applied.
I reckon Sasha died
'cause she wandered in that forest for too long.
We've gotta get the children outta that forest
at the very least.
Or else there's nothin gonna stop this from happenin' again and again.
Way I see it, when it comes to shouldering the sins and hatreds of the past,
that burden should fall to adults like you and me.
Please, Nicolo. We need you to let Ben go now.
Good. Okay. Slow 'n steady does it, Lisa.
Right.
Show me your wounds.
Mia. You're okay, aren't you?
I-I don't understand.
Do you really not hate me?
Kaya...
Murderer! You killed my sister! How dare you say my name!
I thought you were my friend! How could you?!
I think we should go. C'mon.
The main dish must've gone cold by now.
Hange. You should rinse out that kid's mouth out with water.
Some of the wine got into it.
Huh?
Although... It's probably too late.
Why do you say that?
What's in the wine?
I think... it's Zeke's spinal fluid.
Zachary was assassinated?
That's correct. The Jaegerists effectively
control everything inside the walls now.
We believe that all this chaos is being caused by Zeke,
through a plan that he's been using Eren and Yelena to implement.
What now?
Not sure, but the way the winds are blowing right now,
I think Eren will be brought to Zeke soon, just as the Jaegerists have been demanding.
What about Pyxis? He's just rolling over?
He remains steadfast.
He plans to make his move while Eren's being led here.
And this plan involves having somebody eat Eren, right?
We're gonna kill him ourselves.
That's right.
I've saved Eren, again and again,
watching more of my comrades die every time.
I did that because I believed he was the best hope humanity had.
And this.
This is where that belief has gotten me.
It's like I'm at the punchline of some awful joke.
What the hell became of the hope we all looked towards?
All that struggle. All that death.
For this farce.
Such bullshit. It's not even funny.
The piece of shit we need to feed to a Titan is right beneath us.
What did you just say?
Why the hell would Zeke Jaeger's spinal fluid be in the wine?
I don't actually have proof. But still.
They packed the first survey fleet to the brim with it.
There's no way they'd've needed
that much alcohol for a scouting mission.
Again.
And just as I was starting to settle into my new job here as a chef,
I received instructions.
In short, I was ordered to start serving that Marleyan wine
to high-ranking military officers.
Who ordered it?
It was Yelena.
As far as I know, she's the only one who was in on it.
I can't speak for the other volunteers.
No. I... I didn't know about any of this.
I give you my word.
This doesn't make sense though!
When Zeke's spinal fluid is ingested by an Eldian,
they're supposed to freeze up.
That's only what we were told by Zeke.
None of us have ever seen how it happens in person.
And there was no proof.
But we bought it.
It seems like such a small lie, but it's had an enormous effect.
We thought Zeke's spinal fluid caused paralysis,
so when the wine caused no symptoms, we assumed it was safe.
Yeah, but wait. Nicolo.
You don't actually know that it's dosed, right?
No. Not for a fact.
That said, I do know that in the past,
Zeke's spinal fluid has been used in similar ways,
to tremendous effect.
Ten years ago, Marley conquered a hostile nation's capital overnight.
This was made possible by the sudden appearance
of hundreds of Titans in the city.
She must plan to use the same trick here.
Why else would she order me to make sure that
your military's top officers drank that suspicious wine?
No other explanation makes sense.
If that's true, then when you snatched that bottle from me earlier,
you were trying to protect us.
No. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I came here to help save the world from the devils on this island.
Now that I've told you all of this, I'm sure that my days must be numbered.
Sorry, Mr. Braus.
I can't be as forgiving as you are,
but I do want to atone in some small way.
I was about to murder a child.
How screwed up can I be?
I... I just... I...
Oh, Nicolo.
Tell me. Why did you save me?
Don't know. Guess I really didn't have a reason.
I'm the one who killed your comrades on that airship.
I'm the one who crushed that guard's skull with a brick.
Falco didn't do anything.
So kill me, not him. Okay?
We won't kill you.
Why not? I know you must want to.
Why would I want that?
Always with the killing.
It's like it's all you ever think about.
Just like someone else I know.
Er...
Is something wrong?
There you are, Commander.
What's going on?
I'm glad you showed up.
If anyone knows where Zeke's being held, it's you.
You'll have to drop whatever it is you're doing
and take us to him.
Wait. We have no intention of fighting you.
Didn't you get the military's proposal?
We did, and we promptly rejected it.
We refuse to negotiate with your military.
I see. And why is that?
The decision came from Eren.
He knew that Commander Pyxis would never leave
the fate of the island in our hands willingly.
And I agree.
I'm sure that Pyxis is frantically devising a plan
to ambush Eren and steal the Founder, even as we speak.
You have quite the imagination.
Or did this come from one of your sources
in the Garrison Regiment?
You have comrades undercover there, don't you?
Do I look like one of your eager lackeys
who's gonna answer any question that you ask?
Get moving.
I'm willing to prove that I don't answer to you,
if it comes down to it,
but I'm hoping that you'll just come along quietly.
Damn it.
How the hell did they know to look for us here?
Greiz?
Don't tell me you brought them.
Did Yelena put you up to this?
Nicolo.
You've become far too attached to this group of Eldians.
I knew that you and I would stand opposed eventually.
I was right not to tell you how to
contact the Scouts when you asked.
Floch, listen! We can't afford to waste time
fighting amongst ourselves right now!
Wine that's been tainted with Zeke's spinal fluid
has been disseminated throughout the military!
Zeke has us dancing in the palm of his hand!
We have to stop him!
Actually, we don't.
Sounds like those idiot MPs are gonna become even bigger idiots.
Now let's get moving.
I never said that the MPs drank it.
You're kidding. You knew?
You let them drink that poison?
Keep it down, will ya? This is a family restaurant.
We're gonna go on ahead.
Good.
That was Floch.
So you brought him here with you, then?
Yeah.
I wanted... to talk with you two.
