[00:01] ---
    To think that you saw it,
    and made it back alive...
[00:04] ---
    You may be my pupils,
    but that is really something.
[00:06] ---
    Nah...
[00:08] ---
    Still, you will have to take
    responsibility for what you've done.
[00:13] ---
    You're expelled.
[00:17] ---
    Teacher--
[00:18] ---
    Al...
[00:23] ---
    The trains are still running. Go home.
[00:28] ---
    Thank you... for all you've done!
[00:31] ---
    I still have too long a life ahead
[00:34] ---
    to get rid of these feelings, right?
[00:38] ---
    I want to try doing over
[00:39] ---
    the things I've left undone
[00:53] ---
    I thought I was running after
    something carried over from my dreams
[01:00] ---
    Yet I'm stumbling into people
    on this narrow, winding road
[01:06] ---
    It's not like I want to go back
    to the way things were back then
[01:09] ---
    I'm just searching for the sky
    I've been losing
[01:12] ---
    Here's hoping you'll understand
[01:14] ---
    Stop making that sad face
    as though you were a victim
[01:19] ---
    Sins don't end with tears,
[01:21] ---
    you have to carry the pain forever
[01:23] ---
    Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions
[01:24] ---
    with no way out in sight?
[01:26] ---
    I want to purge myself more simply,
[01:28] ---
    as if writing in a blank notebook
[01:30] ---
    What is it I want to escape from?
[01:31] ---
    ...is it reality?
[01:33] ---
    It makes me want to scream that we're alive
[01:36] ---
    for things to come true. Can you hear me?
[01:39] ---
    I can't put up with playing it safe
[01:45] ---
    ...I've got nowhere to go home to
[01:46] ---
    I'm always grateful for kindness
[01:50] ---
    That's why I want to grow stronger
    (I'm on the way)
[01:53] ---
    I even welcome this pain
[01:55] ---
    for the things I miss
[02:05] ---
    If you're ever in the area, come see us.
[02:08] ---
    But we're...
[02:10] ---
    You idiots!
[02:12] ---
    There's no "teacher" or
    "pupil" relationship any longer,
[02:16] ---
    which means that from now on,
    you can interact with each other
[02:19] ---
    as equal individuals.
    What reason is there to be so aloof now?
[02:24] ---
    Damn!
[02:26] ---
    Al, what did we come to Dublith for?!
[02:29] ---
    Mr. Sig, we're heading on back!
[02:33] ---
    Don't get yourselves killed.
[02:41] ---
    Teacher!
[02:44] ---
    How dare you show your faces again here?!
[02:47] ---
    Who are you calling "Teacher"?!
    I no longer consider you pupils!
[02:50] ---
    Get out of here, now!
[02:51] ---
    Teacher!
[02:52] ---
    We came here to find some leads
    on getting our original bodies back!
[02:56] ---
    We can't leave here empty-handed!
[02:57] ---
    Get out!
[02:58] ---
    No!
[03:08] ---
    You imbeciles...
[03:12] ---
    Al, you didn't see "the Truth," right?
[03:14] ---
    Right. I have no idea what that means.
[03:17] ---
    You may have lost your
    memory of it out of shock.
[03:21] ---
    Why don't we try getting your memory back?
[03:23] ---
    Your whole body was taken away.
[03:25] ---
    There's no way you wouldn't have seen it.
[03:27] ---
    Right! Teacher, it was just a
    part of our bodies for you and me,
[03:31] ---
    but considering the "toll" that Al paid,
[03:34] ---
    he must be more closely acquainted
    with "the Truth" than any of us!
[03:36] ---
    Then, once my memories of that time return,
[03:39] ---
    I'll have a lead on getting my body back, too!
[03:42] ---
    Still, the memories of that...
[03:45] ---
    Yeah, that...
[03:46] ---
    Huh? Is it something bad?
[03:48] ---
    Not so much bad as... awful?
[03:50] ---
    Mm-hmm, more like awful.
[03:53] ---
    It might wreck your mind.
[03:54] ---
    If it goes wrong, you'll be crippled.
[03:59] ---
    Even so... if it means finding any leads,
[04:02] ---
    I want to go for it!
[04:07] ---
    All right. Let me ask someone I know
[04:10] ---
    about how to get your memory back.
[04:15] ---
    But before I do, let's eat. Give me a hand.
[04:18] ---
    R-Right!
[04:21] ---
    No doubt about it.
    He's the one who transmuted a soul.
[04:32] ---
    "East City, Eastern Command Center"
[04:36] ---
    You'll be transferring to
    Central next week, huh?
[04:41] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:43] ---
    I'm going to miss you around here.
    You kept things pretty colorful.
[04:48] ---
    Oh, no, not as much as you did
    when you were younger, General.
[04:58] ---
    You worked as hard as you could,
    which allowed me to be at ease, too.
[05:03] ---
    And thanks to the work
    that you allowed me to take on,
[05:06] ---
    my insights have also been expanded.
[05:13] ---
    Check.
[05:16] ---
    I finally beat you, here at the end.
[05:18] ---
    This win will be my parting gift to you.
[05:22] ---
    General...
[05:24] ---
    While you're giving out parting gifts,
[05:25] ---
    there's something else I'd like.
[05:28] ---
    Master Sergeant Kain Fuery.
[05:31] ---
    Warrant Officer Vato Falman.
[05:33] ---
    2nd Lieutenant Heymans Breda.
[05:35] ---
    2nd Lieutenant Jean Havoc.
[05:38] ---
    1st Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.
[05:41] ---
    You five men will be
    transferring to Central with me.
[05:45] ---
    I won't hear any objections!
    You're coming with me!
[05:50] ---
    Colonel, I'm in a fix.
    I just recently got a new girlfriend.
[05:55] ---
    "Break up with her"
[05:55] ---
    Break up with her.
[05:56] ---
    "Cruel!!"
[06:11] ---
    Not again!
[06:13] ---
    Your wounds haven't even closed up yet.
[06:21] ---
    Master...!
[06:24] ---
    I'm glad that you are safe.
[06:26] ---
    I understand you've been
    going around killing State Alchemists.
[06:30] ---
    I understand the animosity you feel.
[06:33] ---
    It was a State Alchemist
    that burned down our village.
[06:39] ---
    But vengeance will only
    cultivate more vengeance.
[06:44] ---
    You must sever this fruitless chain at once.
[06:49] ---
    You must abide this.
[06:54] ---
    We're coming in!
[06:55] ---
    Oh, he really is here!
[06:57] ---
    The Ishvalan with the X-shaped scar!
[06:59] ---
    We'll split the reward with you
    evenly, as promised, Mr. Yoki.
[07:02] ---
    Huh?
[07:03] ---
    Mr. Yoki is gone?
[07:06] ---
    Why, you...!
[07:07] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[07:08] ---
    We took you in like family,
    when you had nowhere else to go!
[07:11] ---
    Shut up! Don't lump me in with you Ishvalans!
[07:15] ---
    I will rise up again! I will rise! I will rise!
[07:20] ---
    And I will take down that
    detestable Edward Elric!
[07:24] ---
    Now, you two, get him, if you please!
[07:30] ---
    It appears that my
    presence here will make trouble.
[07:33] ---
    That's a reasonable fellow.
[07:39] ---
    W-Why, you! What the hell did you do?!
[07:43] ---
    I'll give you a moment to pray to God.
[07:47] ---
    W-What God? Who needs--
[07:54] ---
    Wait! Stay back! I-I was wrong!
[07:58] ---
    Spare my life! I will follow you from now on!
[08:05] ---
    You're leaving?
[08:07] ---
    Your brother would be grieved.
[08:16] ---
    I can't turn back now.
[08:50] ---
    He's here.
[08:57] ---
    We've been expecting you, visitor.
[09:00] ---
    "We know your secret.
    Come to the Devil's Nest."
[09:05] ---
    Are you people the ones who know my secret?
[09:07] ---
    Yeah, we know all sorts of things.
[09:10] ---
    I'd like to know what my secret is, too.
[09:14] ---
    Then that makes this simple. Come with me.
[09:18] ---
    But my teacher taught me
    that I shouldn't go with strangers.
[09:22] ---
    Hey, how old are you?
[09:24] ---
    Fourteen.
[09:26] ---
    Fourteen is old enough to
    think and act for yourself, right?
[09:30] ---
    You can't go around saying
    "my teacher says such-and-such" forever.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, right! I have to think for myself!
[09:36] ---
    There you go. Now, come with us--
[09:40] ---
    After thinking it over for myself,
[09:42] ---
    I've decided to hog-tie you guys,
    and ask you what my secret is.
[09:46] ---
    So we'll end up doing this by force, huh?
[09:55] ---
    Forgive the intrusion!
[09:59] ---
    Y-You're going inside?!
[10:00] ---
    Hey, be a good little boy!
[10:04] ---
    Well? How does it feel having
    someone inside you moving your body?
[10:06] ---
    You can't completely stop
    me from moving by doing this!
[10:11] ---
    You're right. But if I can
    dampen your motion even a little...
[10:15] ---
    ...we can finish this!
[10:22] ---
    Are you hurt?
[10:24] ---
    I hit my head.
[10:26] ---
    You're making this awfully hard.
[10:30] ---
    Just what are you people?
[10:32] ---
    They're Chimeras, and they work for me.
[10:49] ---
    Oh, incredible! You really are hollow!
[10:55] ---
    I'm Greed. Let's you and I be friends.
[10:59] ---
    What are you people, really?
[11:06] ---
    It's not true that you're Chimeras, right?
[11:08] ---
    After all, there's no way
    that Chimeras can talk.
[11:10] ---
    There's no such thing as "no such thing."
[11:13] ---
    In fact, the girl inside you is a Chimera
[11:16] ---
    who was made by combining with a snake.
[11:18] ---
    And the fellow behind me, here...
[11:20] ---
    Roa, what were you, again? A cow?
[11:24] ---
    Yeah.
[11:26] ---
    There's also a lizard, and a crocodile.
[11:29] ---
    The man you went up
    against earlier pees on one leg.
[11:33] ---
    No I don't!
[11:34] ---
    A dog?!
[11:36] ---
    Yeah. It comes in pretty handy.
[11:38] ---
    Impossible. It just isn't possible.
[11:41] ---
    For one thing, who has ever
    made a successful combination?
[11:44] ---
    The military.
[11:46] ---
    You mean...
[11:47] ---
    In any event, there is an underworld out there,
[11:50] ---
    one where the sun doesn't shine.
[11:53] ---
    And by the way, I'm not a Chimera.
[11:56] ---
    I'm a Homunculus.
[11:58] ---
    Homunculus?
[11:59] ---
    You know of them, right?
    An artificially created person.
[12:04] ---
    That's what I am.
[12:09] ---
    A Homunculus?
[12:10] ---
    It's a man-made person.
[12:12] ---
    It says in that book that
    you're not supposed to make people.
[12:15] ---
    You're lying!
[12:16] ---
    I've never heard of anyone
    successfully creating a Homunculus!
[12:20] ---
    My, my... Let me show you the proof.
[12:29] ---
    H-How could you do that?!
[12:52] ---
    There, now I'm once dead.
[12:54] ---
    It can't be...
[12:55] ---
    Do you get it? There's no
    such thing as "no such thing."
[12:59] ---
    There's no better proof of that
    than your very existence, is there?
[13:03] ---
    You, who exist only as a soul.
[13:05] ---
    How do you know that?!
[13:07] ---
    Most of what happens in
    the underworld reaches my ears.
[13:12] ---
    Now then, let's get down to business.
[13:15] ---
    How does it feel to be just a soul,
[13:17] ---
    having a body that will never die?
[13:21] ---
    Transmuting an individual soul,
    and attaching it to something else...
[13:25] ---
    Depending on how it's done,
    you can gain immortality.
[13:29] ---
    Am I wrong?
[13:31] ---
    I am Greed. That's desire, you see.
[13:35] ---
    I want money. I want women.
[13:38] ---
    I want status, glory,
    and everything else the world has!
[13:41] ---
    And I want eternal life, too!
[13:44] ---
    But you are immortal, aren't you?
[13:46] ---
    Well, I am put together pretty tough.
[13:49] ---
    I've been alive for nearly 200 years.
[13:52] ---
    But I'm not exactly immortal.
[13:55] ---
    Well, I've told you my secret.
    Now it's your turn.
[14:00] ---
    Tell me the secret of your body.
[14:04] ---
    You'd best start talking.
[14:06] ---
    You don't want to be taken apart
    limb from limb and examined, right?
[14:11] ---
    It's no use. I don't have any
    memories from when I got this body,
[14:16] ---
    and I'm not the one who did the transmutation.
[14:18] ---
    I don't know anything.
[14:20] ---
    Then, I can ask the person
    who did the transmutation for you.
[14:24] ---
    Well...
[14:27] ---
    Where has Al gone off to?
[14:30] ---
    I'd be willing to tell you,
[14:33] ---
    once you tell me your brother's secret.
[14:43] ---
    Brother!
[14:44] ---
    Who would have ever
    thought you'd get abducted?
[14:47] ---
    Brother! This man is a Homunculus!
[14:50] ---
    A Homunculus?
[14:51] ---
    Hey! Don't go giving it away right off!
[14:53] ---
    So he might have some hints as to
    how to get our original bodies back!
[15:02] ---
    An Uroboros tattoo.
[15:05] ---
    That's right. It would have
    been easier if I could have dealt
[15:08] ---
    with just the little armor boy there.
[15:11] ---
    If you're one of that bunch, ask them directly.
[15:14] ---
    That bunch?
[15:16] ---
    The folks with that tattoo
    who were at the 5th Laboratory.
[15:19] ---
    We met some others there
    who were souls bonded to armor.
[15:23] ---
    Is that right? Well, it's kind of a long story.
[15:27] ---
    I'm afraid I can't do that.
[15:30] ---
    I have a proposal I'd like to discuss.
[15:32] ---
    The two of you want to get
    your bodies back. Isn't that right?
[15:36] ---
    I will teach you how to fabricate a Homunculus.
[15:41] ---
    In exchange, you teach
    me how to transmute a soul.
[15:45] ---
    That's an equivalent exchange.
[15:50] ---
    Then again, is there really any
    need to get your original body back?
[15:54] ---
    I think the body you've got is nice and handy.
[15:57] ---
    No it isn't!
[15:58] ---
    Oh no? You don't get
    hungry, you don't get sleepy,
[16:02] ---
    and you don't get fatigued.
[16:04] ---
    That's great, isn't it?
[16:08] ---
    Stop spouting that ridiculous non--
[16:13] ---
    --sense!
[16:16] ---
    Handy? Great?!
[16:20] ---
    I can't sit here and listen
    to you go off on your own
[16:22] ---
    when you don't know what it's like!
[16:25] ---
    How to transmute a soul?!
[16:28] ---
    I don't see any reason
    to give you even one iota of it!
[16:32] ---
    I pound on bad guys! Beat them up!
    Make them spill their secrets!
[16:35] ---
    Snatch them away from them!
[16:37] ---
    In other words, it's all
    for me, and none for you!
[16:40] ---
    I don't have any need for
    equivalent exchange with bad guys!
[16:51] ---
    So we end up doing this by force again?
[16:55] ---
    Don't kill him.
[16:57] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[17:01] ---
    You're a lot slower than a
    certain condemned prisoner.
[17:07] ---
    Next.
[17:08] ---
    Roa, take the armor boy away.
[17:11] ---
    We'll take him apart and analyze him.
[17:12] ---
    Right.
[17:13] ---
    J-Just a minute!
[17:14] ---
    Hold it!
[17:28] ---
    No way, no way!
    You can't even scratch the Ultimate Shield
[17:31] ---
    with that steel sword of yours!
[17:43] ---
    You left your noggin wide open!
[17:47] ---
    Oh, that one hurt.
[17:49] ---
    Any normal person would
    be on his way to the hospital.
[17:51] ---
    You're not at all normal, huh?
[17:53] ---
    Well, my body is normal enough.
[17:56] ---
    All I have are slightly
    advanced regenerative powers,
[17:58] ---
    and my "Ultimate Shield."
[18:01] ---
    You get it, right? You cannot beat me.
[18:04] ---
    You'd be smarter to make a deal.
[18:07] ---
    You're one of those guys, huh?
[18:09] ---
    You don't mind if you get all beat up,
[18:11] ---
    but you can't bear to have a family member
[18:13] ---
    get even a little hurt, and you lose your cool.
[18:16] ---
    How foolish. Are you going
    to give yourself over to your passion,
[18:20] ---
    and lose both the precious
    information and your brother?
[18:23] ---
    Once I've defeated you,
    I'll go get my brother back.
[18:26] ---
    Your regenerative
    powers aren't unlimited, right?
[18:29] ---
    As long as I keep pounding away
    at the exposed parts of your body...
[18:33] ---
    My apologies. I've been skimping on you.
[18:37] ---
    This doesn't look too handsome,
[18:39] ---
    so I don't like showing it to people.
[18:43] ---
    Didn't I tell you?
    You can't lay a single scratch on me.
[18:49] ---
    This was lying in the back
    alley off of the road to the west.
[18:52] ---
    Al has disappeared, and now Ed, too.
[18:55] ---
    Those idiots! I ought to
    make them my pupils again,
[18:58] ---
    then beat it into them how
    they should take care of things!
[19:01] ---
    I know something!
[19:02] ---
    Earlier, a boy matching Ed's description
[19:05] ---
    supposedly went into a
    bar called the "Devil's Nest."
[19:21] ---
    Are you dead?
[19:26] ---
    Good, that's better.
    Children should be energetic.
[19:32] ---
    No matter how much you try, you cannot beat me!
[19:37] ---
    Now then, why don't you tell me your secret?
[19:44] ---
    Thanks.
[19:45] ---
    Huh?
[19:46] ---
    The blood that had rushed
    to my head has settled a bit,
[19:49] ---
    and my brain is starting to cool off.
[19:51] ---
    That's my mechanic for you.
    Even like this, it still works.
[20:01] ---
    You're still going to put up a fight?
[20:03] ---
    Would you go down and stay down?!
[20:18] ---
    I'm hardened, right? That was strange.
[20:28] ---
    What was that for?!
[20:32] ---
    You've got a single-pattern style!
    That's not gonna cut it!
[20:40] ---
    What the hell did you do to my shield?!
[20:43] ---
    It's simple, when you think about it.
[20:46] ---
    You may be a Homunculus,
    but if you have a normal body,
[20:49] ---
    it means that a third of
    your structural material
[20:52] ---
    is made up of carbon.
[20:54] ---
    Depending on the degree to
    which the carbon atoms combine,
[20:56] ---
    its hardness can change
    from pencil lead up to diamond.
[21:00] ---
    Once that is known, the rest
    is all in the realm of alchemy.
[21:05] ---
    Good! That's more like it!
    It's no fun otherwise!
[21:11] ---
    And I just learned one other thing!
[21:16] ---
    You can't harden yourself
    and regenerate at the same time!
[21:20] ---
    I thought you were just some
    reckless kid, rushing in here.
[21:25] ---
    But then, how much more can
    you attack me in your condition?
[21:34] ---
    Hello, pardon me!
[21:37] ---
    T-Teacher!
[21:39] ---
    You imbecile!
[21:42] ---
    What do you think you're doing,
    not even putting the broom away?!
[21:45] ---
    S-Sorry about that!
[21:48] ---
    It looks like you've shown
    considerable hospitality to my boy there.
[21:52] ---
    Teacher, he's...
[21:53] ---
    I know. Your voices were
    carrying out into the hallway.
[21:58] ---
    Hey now, give me a break here.
[22:01] ---
    I have no interest in fighting a woman.
[22:15] ---
    Why, you...! Who the hell are you?!
[22:20] ---
    I'm just a passing...
[22:24] ---
    ...housewife!
[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
[23:02] ---
    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
[23:59] ---
    The mighty are destined to be
    given over to an even greater power.
[24:06] ---
    However, the spirit is indomitable,
[24:09] ---
    as long as it has its pride.
[24:13] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:17] ---
    Episode 14: "Those Who Lurk Underground."
[24:22] ---
    All that is visible is not all that there is.
