I don't know Japanese, but in English it was smth like "there is this basement I always kept a secret.." and blabla. Has Grisha ever mentioned the basement was in their own house? I personally don't remember that. He was talking about returning to Wall Maria, and that after he enters the basement  "this power will prove usefull then" and  "their memories will show you how to use it". (ok, this is according to anime). It does not sound Grisha was talking about serum :D

The only basement I can think about was under a chapel. Where Eren was chained by Rod Reiss. But Eren has already been there... Bad news - he destoryed it together with Rod...

Plus I am not sure if Eren realizes that he was not in the underground, but in a basement. I mean he has seen flashbacks of his father's memories, seeing the entry to the basement and those funny walls, but right now, does he realize it might be THE basement?..

Chapter 62 "Sin". Starting from page 11

If we assume it IS the basement, I still don't get it, why his father wanted to show it to Eren, when Eren wanted to learn about the outside world? I just cannot imagine Eren's reaction and consequences to that if the wall was not breached and Grisha really took him there. Doesn't make sense to me.
