[00:10] ---
    The Freezing Alchemist?
[00:14] ---
    Yes. He has sneaked his way here into Central.
[00:18] ---
    Colonel Roy Mustang,
[00:19] ---
    I would like to put you in
    charge of capturing him.
[00:23] ---
    If that is your order...
[00:24] ---
    Oh, I'm so glad you are in Central.
[00:28] ---
    I can rest assured leaving this to you.
[00:30] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:31] ---
    Ah, one more thing. The boy is here, as well.
[00:34] ---
    Use him however you like.
[00:36] ---
    Fuhrer Bradley, by boy, do you mean...?
[00:39] ---
    Yes, the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.
[00:44] ---
    Man, the colonel is such a slave driver.
[00:48] ---
    We'd already bought our tickets to Liore,
[00:50] ---
    but that's been cancelled, huh?
[00:52] ---
    Nothing we can do about it.
[00:54] ---
    Let's hurry and get this over with, Al.
[00:57] ---
    Mm-hmm, Brother.
[00:59] ---
    I still have too long a life ahead
[01:02] ---
    to get rid of these feelings, right?
[01:06] ---
    I want to try doing over
[01:07] ---
    the things I've left undone
[01:21] ---
    I thought I was running after
    something carried over from my dreams

[01:27] ---
    Yet I'm stumbling into people
    on this narrow, winding road

[01:33] ---
    It's not like I want to go back
    to the way things were back then

[01:37] ---
    I'm just searching for the sky
    I've been losing

[01:40] ---
    Here's hoping you'll understand
[01:42] ---
    Stop making that sad face
    as though you were a victim

[01:47] ---
    Sins don't end with tears,
[01:49] ---
    you have to carry the pain forever
[01:51] ---
    Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions
[01:52] ---
    with no way out in sight?
[01:54] ---
    I want to purge myself more simply,
[01:56] ---
    as if writing in a blank notebook
[01:57] ---
    What is it I want to escape from?
[01:59] ---
    ...is it reality?
[02:00] ---
    It makes me want to scream that we're alive
[02:04] ---
    for things to come true. Can you hear me?
[02:07] ---
    I can't put up with playing it safe
[02:12] ---
    ...I've got nowhere to go home to
[02:14] ---
    I'm always grateful for kindness
[02:17] ---
    That's why I want to grow stronger
    (I'm on the way)

[02:21] ---
    I even welcome this pain
[02:23] ---
    for the things I miss
[02:33] ---
    There he goes! That way!
[02:35] ---
    Halt! Halt, or else!
[02:52] ---
    Freezing and boiling, both attributes of water.
[03:01] ---
    Alchemy...
[03:03] ---
    What a nasty thing to do.
[03:05] ---
    In order to do great things,
    sacrifices must be made.
[03:09] ---
    It's what's known as equivalent exchange.
[03:10] ---
    There's no way you can
    call that equivalent exchange!
[03:22] ---
    Without even a transmutation circle...!
[03:24] ---
    You can't afford to be so intrigued!
[03:37] ---
    What?!
[03:38] ---
    Impossible!
[03:39] ---
    Any water in there should have boiled!
[03:42] ---
    You ruined my coat, you know!
[03:47] ---
    Automail!
[03:51] ---
    The skill of a gifted alchemist,
[03:54] ---
    one who doesn't use transmutation circles,
[03:56] ---
    as well as an automail right arm...!
[04:00] ---
    You are the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric?!
[04:09] ---
    Not you?
[04:10] ---
    Oh, um, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse.
[04:14] ---
    This runt...?
[04:16] ---
    Who's a puny runt?!
[04:22] ---
    To think that the man they
    call the Fullmetal Alchemist
[04:25] ---
    is just a little child!
[04:28] ---
    Don't call me little!
[04:31] ---
    Brother, I don't think he
    meant your height just now.
[04:36] ---
    Even if he didn't, he's going to pay!
[04:39] ---
    That's the Fullmetal Alchemist,
    Edward Elric for you.
[04:43] ---
    Thank you very much for your assistance.
[04:45] ---
    No, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse Elric.
[04:50] ---
    Okay...
[04:51] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Al.
    Now, let's get going.
[04:54] ---
    Geez, you're always so impatient.
[05:09] ---
    Steam...?
[05:10] ---
    Brother! He's loose!
[05:12] ---
    Damn it! Trifle with us, will he?!
[05:16] ---
    Looks like you underestimated
    your opponent, Fullmetal.
[05:20] ---
    Who is that guy?
[05:22] ---
    I thought I told you to listen to the briefing.
[05:26] ---
    But no, you had to go right after him--
[05:27] ---
    Yeah, yeah, all right. I'm terribly sorry.
[05:32] ---
    You should listen more
    carefully when your elders speak.
[05:35] ---
    Right, right.
[05:36] ---
    Now then, his name is Isaac McDougal.
[05:40] ---
    He's a former State Alchemist,
    who they called Isaac the Freezer.
[05:45] ---
    Former?
[05:46] ---
    That's right. He took part in
    the Ishvalan War of Extermination
[05:50] ---
    as a member of the military.
[05:55] ---
    After the war, he renounced
    his State Alchemist title,
[05:59] ---
    and went on to join the
    antiestablishment movement.
[06:03] ---
    Taking him into custody
    is a matter of top priority.
[06:06] ---
    We may have to kill him,
    depending on the situation.
[06:09] ---
    I'm not about to kill anyone.
[06:11] ---
    Suit yourself.
    All we're after is your performance.
[06:20] ---
    By the way,
[06:21] ---
    have you found any leads on
    getting your bodies back to normal?
[06:26] ---
    You never give me any time to!
[06:28] ---
    Yo, Roy! Hell of an order you drew,
[06:31] ---
    to take the
    Freezing Alchemist into custody, huh?
[06:34] ---
    Or is this your big chance
    to be promoted to Central?
[06:37] ---
    "Here comes that pest."
[06:38] ---
    Oh? By any chance, are you the Elric brothers?
[06:42] ---
    Wow, it's an honor to meet
    the youngest State Alchemist.
[06:47] ---
    I'm Maes Hughes, Lt. Colonel.
[06:49] ---
    Um, I'm his younger brother, Alphonse Elric.
[06:53] ---
    What? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist?!
[06:56] ---
    Don't you call me little!
[06:57] ---
    "Don't you call me little!"
[06:59] ---
    Hughes...
[07:00] ---
    Yeah?
[07:01] ---
    If you don't need anything, then go home.
[07:03] ---
    I will go, once my business is done.
[07:06] ---
    You guys don't have a place to stay yet, right?
[07:10] ---
    So come home with me.
[07:19] ---
    My wife, Gracia, and my daughter, Elicia.
[07:24] ---
    Elicia...
[07:27] ---
    Papa, your beard hurts!
[07:30] ---
    It does? Skritchy skritchy!
[07:35] ---
    Look, these are our guests today,
    the Elric brothers.
[07:39] ---
    So big!
[07:41] ---
    So little!
[07:43] ---
    Elicia, I am Edward Elric,
[07:47] ---
    and this is my younger brother, Alphonse Elric.
[07:49] ---
    Understand? Younger brother.
[07:53] ---
    If you're the older brother,
    how come you're so little?
[07:57] ---
    --Let me go! Let me go, Al! Don't stop me!
    --Now, now, they're letting us
    stay here, so behave yourself.
[08:00] ---
    Let's have dinner right away.
    Gracia's cooking is delicious.
[08:08] ---
    Okay, eat up.
[08:10] ---
    I graciously accept this meal.
[08:14] ---
    Yum! It's delicious!
[08:16] ---
    Have plenty, okay?
[08:17] ---
    Sure!
[08:20] ---
    Alphonse, you can't eat while
    still wearing your armor, right?
[08:24] ---
    W-Well, you see...
[08:26] ---
    A-Al is in the middle of his
    alchemy training right now.
[08:30] ---
    Okay, Al, I'll eat enough
    for both of us today, too.
[08:33] ---
    Training! Training!
[08:39] ---
    "Central Prison"
[08:42] ---
    That's the funniest joke I've heard in a while.
[08:46] ---
    The Freezing Alchemist and me, team up?
[08:50] ---
    Me, the Crimson Alchemist?
[08:53] ---
    Kimblee, together we'll get Bradley
[08:56] ---
    and bring down this rotten military!
[08:59] ---
    You must have seen the
    hell that took place in Ishval.
[09:03] ---
    You must know what Bradley made us do there.
[09:08] ---
    That's why you killed those officers, right?
[09:13] ---
    Please, don't misunderstand.
[09:15] ---
    I do not think in such sophisticated terms.
[09:19] ---
    I killed those guys because
    I wanted to kill them, nothing more.
[09:26] ---
    That's too bad, Kimblee. It truly is too bad.
[09:34] ---
    Good work.
[09:45] ---
    This is unusual. Can't you sleep?
[09:48] ---
    Nah...
[09:55] ---
    Do you want me to guess?
[09:57] ---
    You were thinking about those two, weren't you?
[10:01] ---
    State Alchemists are the ones
    who people call Dogs of the Military.
[10:07] ---
    When I think of him
    being called that at his age...
[10:15] ---
    Brother, are you awake?
[10:18] ---
    Mrs. Gracia's quiche looked like Mom's huh?
[10:22] ---
    Yeah, it was delicious.
[10:24] ---
    Really?
[10:24] ---
    In that case, I'll have to
    add it to the list of things to eat
[10:27] ---
    once I get my body back.
[10:30] ---
    Yeah, add it on, add it on.
[10:33] ---
    Brother...
[10:35] ---
    I sure would like to get
    our old bodies back soon.
[10:38] ---
    Yeah.
[10:45] ---
    One more...
[10:48] ---
    one more, and Bradley's on his way to hell.
[10:59] ---
    According to reports, Isaac
    sneaked into Central Prison last night.
[11:03] ---
    The situation doesn't
    leave us a moment to spare.
[11:06] ---
    Find him, no matter what.
[11:08] ---
    Close off all roads,
    and look in every last spot.
[11:12] ---
    Upon finding him,
    you are free to shoot him dead.
[11:14] ---
    That is an order from the Fuhrer.
[11:19] ---
    I'm going out, too.
[11:21] ---
    Medic! Hurry!
[11:23] ---
    Report to headquarters, five men dead.
[11:25] ---
    How awful.
[11:26] ---
    Steam explosion. When you
    rapidly raise the temperature of water,
[11:30] ---
    it expands with explosive force.
[11:32] ---
    The human body is seventy
    percent water, after all...
[11:36] ---
    Let's hurry. We have to find him quickly.
[11:38] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[11:42] ---
    All right.
[11:46] ---
    Impressive, being able to
    dodge my alchemy, Mr. Isaac.
[11:50] ---
    That voice...! Armstrong?!
[11:53] ---
    Indeed it is!
[11:59] ---
    The Strong Arm Alchemist, Alex Louis Armstrong!
[12:05] ---
    Take this!
[12:08] ---
    High-pressure water will slice through anything!
[12:13] ---
    It is all for naught before my fist!
[12:25] ---
    Major!
[12:29] ---
    Look out!
[12:32] ---
    Water from his canteen? Thank you, Al!
[12:36] ---
    Let's get after him, Brother!
[12:38] ---
    Let's go, Elric brothers!
[12:40] ---
    --Right!
    --Yeah!
[12:48] ---
    It's been a long time, Freezing.
[12:53] ---
    Roy Mustang... or rather, the Flame Alchemist.
[12:57] ---
    It's a shame, having to fight against
    someone who was once a war buddy.
[13:01] ---
    War buddy? I have no friends.
[13:05] ---
    The only ones in Ishval were
    the rotten military and their dogs!
[13:17] ---
    Flame will never beat water!
[13:28] ---
    Damn!
[13:33] ---
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[13:35] ---
    That's far enough!
[13:37] ---
    I was wondering what
    you were doing in this alley,
[13:39] ---
    so I came back to see, and bingo!
[13:45] ---
    It's no use trying to escape.
[13:47] ---
    Escape? There's no need to!
[14:00] ---
    An alchemic reaction like this,
    all at the same time...
[14:04] ---
    Impossible. It couldn't be...
[14:08] ---
    A Philosopher's Stone!
[14:16] ---
    What? He used the moisture in the air...
[14:18] ---
    Edward Elric!
[14:20] ---
    Dog of the Military, State Alchemist!
[14:23] ---
    Do you know what this country is trying to do?!
[14:27] ---
    Who cares?! More importantly...
[14:30] ---
    If you knew, you'd
    understand what I am trying to do!
[14:34] ---
    I told you, I don't know!
[14:45] ---
    All right, Al! Nicely done!
[14:46] ---
    Brother, his alchemy!
[14:49] ---
    Yeah!
[14:50] ---
    Hey, you! You have a
    Philosopher's Stone, don't you?!
[14:53] ---
    What are you talking about?
[14:55] ---
    If you won't tell me,
    I'll force it out of you...
[14:57] ---
    Is this any time to be talking nonsense?!
[15:11] ---
    Take a good look at the artistic alchemy...
[15:14] ---
    He's all yours, Major!
[15:16] ---
    ...that has been passed down
    through the Armstrong family...
[15:19] ---
    for generations!
[15:27] ---
    What?!
[15:28] ---
    What are you doing, Major?!
[15:29] ---
    Oh, I was just...
[15:36] ---
    The ice walls...
[15:37] ---
    They're connecting.
[15:39] ---
    Don't tell me he's...
[15:41] ---
    It's Central... no, Central Command Center...
[15:46] ---
    He's going to freeze it over!
[15:50] ---
    Major! Al and I will stop him!
[15:53] ---
    While we do, the transmutation circles...
[15:54] ---
    ...must be destroyed! You got it!
[16:00] ---
    King Bradley, now I will
    bury you with my own ice!
[16:05] ---
    Hold it!
[16:18] ---
    You're such a pain!
[16:27] ---
    Brother!
[16:29] ---
    Too slow!
[16:34] ---
    Al!
[16:44] ---
    An empty suit of armor?
[16:48] ---
    You mean, your soul is bonded to the armor?!
[16:53] ---
    You lost your arm, and
    your brother's body is hollow...
[16:59] ---
    I get it! You guys...
[17:03] ---
    ...committed the taboo!
[17:06] ---
    You performed human transmutation,
[17:09] ---
    alchemy's greatest taboo!
[17:14] ---
    Al! Alphonse!
[17:17] ---
    Damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen!
[17:21] ---
    Damn it all!
[17:22] ---
    He's been taken away!
[17:27] ---
    Give him back! He's my brother!
[17:30] ---
    Give him back! He's my only brother!
[17:41] ---
    You've just taken your first step into hell.
[18:04] ---
    Give it up. There's no water for you to use.
[18:07] ---
    You've forgotten something.
[18:09] ---
    What is seventy percent of the body made of?
[18:15] ---
    Brother!
[18:20] ---
    You guys don't understand
    the shape this country is in!
[18:34] ---
    Brother! Brother!
[18:36] ---
    Al, we're going after him.
[18:39] ---
    Mess around with me...
[18:41] ---
    ...will he?!
[18:46] ---
    Did we get it?
[18:49] ---
    Not again!
[18:55] ---
    Don't underestimate my flames!
[19:00] ---
    Good grief.
[19:01] ---
    Please, try to only be
    useless on rainy days, okay?
[19:13] ---
    Bradley!
[19:22] ---
    Say your prayers!
[20:04] ---
    That's too bad.
[20:08] ---
    Major! Now!
[20:09] ---
    Acknowledged!
[20:35] ---
    Fuhrer King Bradley...
[20:38] ---
    Oh, good work, Fullmetal Alchemist. I see...
[20:44] ---
    To think that I'd be able to give you a hand.
[20:47] ---
    This will make a good story for my son.
[20:53] ---
    What, you got a cold? Anyhow,
    I hear you really outdid yourself, huh?
[20:58] ---
    I just destroyed the transmutation circles.
[21:01] ---
    The Fuhrer is the one who
    brought down the criminal.
[21:04] ---
    And the Fuhrer is giving
    you credit for the deed.
[21:08] ---
    What's wrong, you upset?
    Just graciously accept the compliment.
[21:12] ---
    Haven't I always told you, listen
    carefully when your elders speak?
[21:22] ---
    It turns out...
[21:23] ---
    we never did find out whether
    or not he had a Philosopher's Stone.
[21:26] ---
    Yeah, we'll just have to
    wait for the military's report.
[21:31] ---
    Edward Elric, when I heard you
    were in the hospital, I dashed over!
[21:38] ---
    Here, let me relieve your
    boredom while you're in here.
[21:44] ---
    I'm sure the beauty of my
    muscles will warm your heart.
[21:47] ---
    Don't be shy; you can touch them if you like.
[21:50] ---
    Stop!
[21:56] ---
    Oh, Isaac is dead, is he?
[22:00] ---
    Such a shame,
    he would have been a good sacrifice.
[22:03] ---
    So, what about the Philosopher's Stone?
[22:06] ---
    Hmm, he overused it.
[22:10] ---
    Gluttony, you shouldn't eat such things.
[22:15] ---
    Yes, things are going well in Liore.
[22:18] ---
    It will begin, very soon.
[22:27] ---
    Do you remember the ruby sky,
[22:33] ---
    we saw that day?
[22:38] ---
    The two of us drew close,
    encircled by promises, vows

[22:44] ---
    and an early summer's breeze
[22:52] ---
    I hide the shadow
[22:57] ---
    that stretches out behind my forced smile
[23:03] ---
    So pretending not to notice, I choose rebirth
[23:14] ---
    I kept waiting for settling news on the table,
[23:25] ---
    knowing all about the empty night,
[23:30] ---
    and the morning that would not come
[23:34] ---
    Someday, you will remember the ruby sky,
[23:40] ---
    we saw that day
[23:45] ---
    Embracing the promise we couldn't keep,
[23:51] ---
    the two of us start walking
[24:00] ---
    Resembool.
[24:02] ---
    A pleasant town, where the boys were born
[24:04] ---
    and spent their time with their mother.
[24:08] ---
    Seeking for her lost smile,
    the boys commit a taboo

[24:12] ---
    and witness the truth.
[24:15] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,

[24:19] ---
    Episode 2: "The First Day."
[24:23] ---
    Their hearts made the
    decision to start their journey.
