Reiner confessed that he is the Armored Titan while Bertolt was the Colossal Titan and they are the ones responsible for the attack on Wall Maria 5 years ago.
Reiner even negotiated with Eren that if he will peacefully come with them Reiner and Bertolt will not attack the walls again. At first, Eren cannot process all the information and argumentative about the revelation. However, as Eren finally connected the dots, he realized that Reiner is telling the truth. As Reiner is about to make his move on Eren, Mikasa showed up and attack the Titan Shifters but they managed to grab Eren and Ymir as they transformed into Titans.
