Wound (Attack on Titan Episode)

Act 1
Gustav: We've managed to corral most of the titans in the corner furthest from the breach. Combat has been avoided as much as possible. But still, 20% of our forces are lost.

[Pyxis are the gang are walking]

Pyxis: Not lost. They did not die of losing thei way. They were sent to their deaths. By me.

[they all sightsee the smoke]

Pyxis: This is the threshold of our extinction, soldiers. If my actions ensure mankind's survival, history may call me "butcher" all it wants.

[Titan Eren attacks the roof while Mikasa gets a cut on his face; gets knocked down while Ian anc the soldiers watch Titan Eren attack the buildings]

Mitabi: Ackerman, look out!

[She uses her whips to grab Eren's head]

Mitabi: Hey! Ackerman! Stand down now! Get away from him! That's an order!

Mikasa: Eren! I know you're in there somewhere! I know you recognize me! That's right! COme on! Snap the hell out of it! We've got a breach to seal up!

[She takes her bomb out]

Rico: We've failed. It was foolish to pin our hopes on something we didn't fully understand.

[She fires the rocket to the sky]

Mikasa: Eren! Listen to me! You're human!

Ian: Get out of there!

[Titan Eren punches himself in the face and falls over]

Mitabi: What the hell!? You telling me the kid was a regular Titan all along?

Mikasa: Eren!

Elite E: Captain! We've got two Titans bearing down on us from the front; a 10-meter and a 6-meter!

Elite F: Heads up! There's a 12-meter closing in on us from the rear!

Elite G: Ian, that's it. Please. Just look at him. We need to get out of here; the plan's a bust.

Rico: Agreed. Full withdrawal. We have to leave him as he is.

[Mikasa glares angrily]

Elite A; Red smoke. That's not good. Sir, at best I'm afraid it means the elite squad hit quite a snag.

Elite B: [sobbing] This was pointless. My friends died like animals.

Soldier 1: No! Look! Over there!

Soldier 2: What? What's happening?

[Armin appears]

Marco: It's over. They failed.

Armin: But, how?

[Armin runs away gets his flyers]

Marco: Whoa! Armin! Where are you going!?

Elite A: Commander. I recommend we revert back to defending the gate. Just give the word, sir.

Pyxis: Denied.

Girl Soldier: Sir, shall I order a retreat?

Pyxis: Absolutely not. Continue luring the enemy to the edge of town. The Elite Squad is well-helmed; they have leave to make their own decisions. We proceed as planned. This was an all-or-nothing proposition. I will allow those at the vanguard to determine if and when we deviate. We are not in a position to deliver a verdict of defeat. But, we are in a position to fight to the last breath. It's humanity's debt. It's what we owe the fallen.

Mitabi: Ian! Snap out of it! What are you waiting for!? Give the order! Hey, it's not like this is your fault! Come on! Look, this plan was doomed from the start! We all get that! Was it worth a shot!? Sure, whatever! We did the best with what we had! But all we've got left now is going back over the wall!

[Mitabi walks away]
