[00:08] ---
    You would challenge the Silver Alchemist,
[00:10] ---
    Giolio Comanche, to battle? You've got pluck!
[00:14] ---
    However...
[00:51] ---
    Not bad at all. You got off with just a scratch.
[00:56] ---
    Hmph, just a scratch, was it?
[01:16] ---
    Beckoned now by the snow-white backdrop,
[01:22] ---
    I go into a yet unseen world
[01:34] ---
    Lost as I traveled
[01:37] ---
    under a gray sky,
[01:40] ---
    with a different map each day,
    so many dreams ran together
[01:46] ---
    I wonder if someday,
    even with my modest stride,
[01:53] ---
    I'll be able to get beyond those clouds
[01:59] ---
    Falling raindrops provide
    a persistent diffuse reflection
[02:05] ---
    as though able to see into my heart,
    wounded for acting tough
[02:12] ---
    Beams of light crisscross
[02:17] ---
    and shoot on forever without
    announcing where they're headed
[02:24] ---
    Faint afterimages burn into my eyes
[02:30] ---
    Wherever I am under this sky,
[02:36] ---
    I should still arrive at a yet unseen world
[02:47] ---
    What's this?
[02:49] ---
    Oh, sir, you're back?
[02:52] ---
    What is this?!
[02:54] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[02:55] ---
    My name is May Chang.
[03:02] ---
    Your master, Mr. Yoki, saved me
[03:05] ---
    as I was collapsed by the side of the road.
[03:09] ---
    Master?
[03:12] ---
    If you've recovered,
    then be on your way at once.
[03:27] ---
    What?
[03:29] ---
    Let me close up your wound.
[03:46] ---
    It's healed?!
[03:48] ---
    This is alkahestry, from the land of Xing.
[03:51] ---
    Xing?
[03:52] ---
    That's right. She says she
    crossed the great desert to the east
[03:56] ---
    all by herself to come here.
[03:58] ---
    Ridiculous, isn't it?
[04:00] ---
    I wasn't all by myself!
[04:02] ---
    It was me and her!
[04:07] ---
    Her? You mean that little thing?
[04:09] ---
    That's right. This is Shao May.
[04:16] ---
    This is alkahestry, right?
[04:19] ---
    The art of reading the dragon's pulse,
[04:21] ---
    the power that flows
    through the earth, and using it.
[04:25] ---
    This tattoo matches up with the
    flow of alkahestry from my land.
[04:32] ---
    My brother researched
    both alkahestry and alchemy.
[04:37] ---
    This tattoo is the result of his research.
[04:40] ---
    My, your brother is
    really outstanding, isn't he?
[04:48] ---
    I'm not sure what any of this is,
[04:51] ---
    but your wound is now healed,
[04:53] ---
    so now, we can go to Central without delay.
[04:56] ---
    In that case, let's get ready.
[04:59] ---
    See here! He told you to get going, right?!
[05:02] ---
    We're not going there for the fun of it!
[05:05] ---
    But I'm serious about this, too.
[05:07] ---
    You mean that immortality
    affair you spoke of earlier?
[05:10] ---
    There's no such thing.
[05:12] ---
    Yes there is! That's why I'm here!
[05:14] ---
    Shut up! A kid should act like a kid--
[05:20] ---
    Immortality could not
    be attained through alkahestry.
[05:24] ---
    But by using alchemy...
[05:27] ---
    That's why I have to meet the
    man I've heard so much about.
[05:33] ---
    With golden hair, golden eyes,
    gallantly sporting a red coat,
[05:38] ---
    brilliantly saving others,
    that gifted alchemist,
[05:42] ---
    Edward Elric!
[05:47] ---
    What do we do, sir?
[05:53] ---
    Suit yourself.
[06:06] ---
    What's the matter, Black Hayate?
[06:11] ---
    It's dangerous to be out
    walking alone at this hour.
[06:17] ---
    You do that, and you get
    attacked by me, Barry the Chopper!
[06:27] ---
    What'd you go and do that for?!
[06:32] ---
    Dammit! Then how do you like this?!
[06:43] ---
    Whoa, how come you're not surprised?
[06:46] ---
    Because I know someone similar to you.
[06:48] ---
    S-Similar?
    You mean that Alphonse what's-his-face guy?
[06:53] ---
    You know Alphonse?
[06:56] ---
    So you're a friend of his, huh?
[07:00] ---
    You know, sweetheart, you're pretty strong!
[07:09] ---
    The Philosopher's Stone.
[07:12] ---
    To think that the 5th Laboratory
    was involved in making them.
[07:16] ---
    There's a possibility
    that the military's senior staff
[07:18] ---
    is connected, as well.
[07:20] ---
    Plus there are those others, Lust and Envy.
[07:24] ---
    Are they the ones who turned you into that?
[07:27] ---
    Nah, it was the researchers.
[07:29] ---
    They ripped my soul out of my body by force.
[07:34] ---
    If we look into those researchers,
    we might be able to find out
[07:36] ---
    the identity of whoever ordered the experiments.
[07:39] ---
    No chance.
[07:41] ---
    Those guys were all used
    to make Philosopher's Stones with,
[07:44] ---
    and there's not a single one of them left.
[07:48] ---
    Both hushing them up and using
    them as ingredients. How economical.
[07:52] ---
    Does this mean there's no
    need to make the Stones anymore?
[07:58] ---
    Let me ask you one last thing.
[08:02] ---
    Are you the one who killed a military officer
[08:06] ---
    at a telephone booth in
    Central a little over a month ago?
[08:10] ---
    Don't know about that. Was he all chopped up?
[08:16] ---
    No.
[08:18] ---
    If you don't know about it, never mind.
[08:23] ---
    Yo, Miss Winry!
[08:26] ---
    We appear to find you in good spirits this day.
[08:29] ---
    Ed! Al!
    What are you up to, popping in like this?
[08:41] ---
    Good grief.
[08:43] ---
    Even Paninya is holding down
    an honest job now, and look at you.
[08:46] ---
    Paninya?
[08:48] ---
    Mm-hmm. She's given up pickpocketing,
[08:51] ---
    and is now making a living fixing
    roofs, and other work in high places.
[08:57] ---
    What about you guys? Made a little progress yet?
[09:02] ---
    Yeah, we're taking the long way, though.
[09:06] ---
    We're moving ahead, little by little...
[09:09] ---
    I guess.
[09:12] ---
    Okay. Good, then.
[09:16] ---
    There, the first aid is done.
[09:18] ---
    Thank you, Winry.
[09:19] ---
    We're short on parts right now,
    so make do with that for the time being.
[09:23] ---
    I'll go get them right now,
    so would you mind killing a little time?
[09:27] ---
    Yeah, but...
[09:31] ---
    this place...
[09:32] ---
    has nothing but automail shops.
[09:40] ---
    Al?
[09:41] ---
    Brother...
[09:43] ---
    What, did you find another cat, or something?
[09:47] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[09:51] ---
    Ah, I feel alive again!
    You guys saved my life! Thank you.
[09:56] ---
    And thanks for treating.
[09:58] ---
    I never said I was treating!
[09:59] ---
    Don't worry over such a little thing.
[10:01] ---
    Don't say "little"!
[10:03] ---
    You know, I sure am glad for
    kindness found in foreign lands.
[10:08] ---
    Foreign lands? You're a foreigner?
[10:12] ---
    Yeah! I came from Xing!
[10:14] ---
    Xing?
[10:16] ---
    You mean, the large country to the east?
[10:18] ---
    Yeah. Man, crossing the desert was rough.
[10:22] ---
    Why on earth would you take that route?
[10:26] ---
    Because I wanted to see the ruins of Xerxes.
[10:29] ---
    Xerxes?
[10:31] ---
    I'd heard there was nothing there.
[10:34] ---
    I just looked around a little.
[10:36] ---
    I came to this country
[10:37] ---
    to check out things relating to alkahestry, too.
[10:39] ---
    Alkahestry?
[10:41] ---
    Ah, I think you call it alchemy in this country.
[10:45] ---
    In our country, it's called "alkahestry,"
[10:48] ---
    and it's a prominent art in the medical field.
[10:50] ---
    Huh. Different lands, different styles, I guess.
[10:54] ---
    Here, it has lots of military uses.
[10:57] ---
    Even now, there are unending
    skirmishes near the borders
[11:01] ---
    of Aerugo to the south, and Creta to the west.
[11:03] ---
    We face the huge country
    of Drachma to the north.
[11:08] ---
    We have a tentative
    nonaggression treaty with them.
[11:10] ---
    Briggs Mountain is in the way,
    and that keeps them from attacking,
[11:13] ---
    but our relationship is still dicey.
[11:16] ---
    What a restless country.
[11:18] ---
    I'd say things started tending more militaristic
[11:21] ---
    once the current Fuhrer,
    Bradley, came to power.
[11:25] ---
    I have to admit, though,
[11:27] ---
    I'm interested in this
    medically specialized alkahestry.
[11:31] ---
    You bet.
[11:32] ---
    By any chance, are you guys alchemists?
[11:36] ---
    Hm? Yes! I am Edward Elric, State Alchemist!
[11:41] ---
    I am his brother,
    Alphonse Elric. Pleased to meet you.
[11:46] ---
    I'm Ling Yao. My pleasure.
[11:49] ---
    Say, Ling, tell us more about this alkahestry.
[11:53] ---
    I can't. I'm not an alkahestrist.
[11:59] ---
    If you're not an artist,
    what did you come to investigate?
[12:03] ---
    I'm kind of looking for something.
[12:05] ---
    Maybe you might know of it.
[12:09] ---
    The Philosopher's Stone?
[12:12] ---
    I really want it badly.
[12:15] ---
    Do you know anything about it?
[12:19] ---
    Nope, we don't know.
[12:23] ---
    Looks to me like you do know.
[12:27] ---
    I wonder if you'd tell me about it.
[12:30] ---
    What are you going to use
    the Philosopher's Stone for?
[12:35] ---
    I'm looking for the way to gain...
[12:36] ---
    immortality!
[12:45] ---
    So would you tell me about it?
[12:47] ---
    Immortality. What a bunch of nonsense.
[12:50] ---
    I'm serious.
[12:52] ---
    In any case, is this is the attitude you
    take when you ask people for things?
[12:57] ---
    I don't think so!
[13:02] ---
    Brother!
[13:04] ---
    You defy us, too?!
[13:05] ---
    H-Hold on...
[13:12] ---
    You jerk! What are you, an acrobat?!
[13:14] ---
    Maybe it's a Xingese
    fighting style. Must be challenging.
[13:18] ---
    Even so...
[13:19] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[13:20] ---
    They're not as strong...
[13:22] ---
    ...as Teacher!
[13:26] ---
    Huh?
[13:31] ---
    Off they go.
[13:34] ---
    Pops, add on some dessert, okay?
[13:36] ---
    Sure.
[14:03] ---
    Yikes!
[14:11] ---
    Damn! Bringing up the
    Philosopher's Stone and immortality,
[14:15] ---
    then picking a fight with
    us out of nowhere like this--
[14:18] ---
    what are you up to?
    Both you and that closed-eyed idiot?!
[14:27] ---
    Whoa! I hit him!
[14:31] ---
    Yow!
[14:32] ---
    Ow-w-w...
[14:36] ---
    As soon as I called that
    bastard a closed-eyed idiot...
[14:41] ---
    Aha...
[14:45] ---
    Ah! Long time no see, Paninya!
[14:47] ---
    What on earth are you up to?
[14:49] ---
    But then, I have a pretty good idea.
[14:52] ---
    Oh, right, Paninya,
    I have a favor I need to ask.
[14:55] ---
    Strange. I don't sense the flow of chi
[14:58] ---
    that any living person
    should have from this suit of armor.
[15:01] ---
    What exactly is...
[15:06] ---
    Did you think it would do any
    good to bring others to your side?!
[15:09] ---
    You fool!
[15:14] ---
    What's wrong, what's wrong?
    I'm starting to predict your movements!
[15:20] ---
    If this is the best his flunkies can manage,
[15:23] ---
    that Ling bastard must not
    be all that special, either!
[15:30] ---
    Sure enough, as soon as I put down
    his master, he suddenly loses his cool.
[15:35] ---
    Once that happens...
[15:38] ---
    his attacks become dull and overblown!
[15:44] ---
    Now then, I think it's about time...
[15:47] ---
    I had a look at your face!
[15:51] ---
    You're a girl?!
[16:04] ---
    A cannon in her prosthetic limb?
[16:07] ---
    This country is something to be reckoned with--
[16:10] ---
    What?!
[16:16] ---
    Hmm, well, for my first time,
    I guess that's what you'd expect.
[16:20] ---
    Alkahestry, without an array?!
[16:23] ---
    Now then, I wonder if Brother is all right.
[16:32] ---
    I overdid it.
[16:35] ---
    What do I do?
[16:36] ---
    Master Ling is going to yell at me.
[16:45] ---
    Hey, girly!
[16:47] ---
    How can you use something
    like that in the middle of town?
[16:50] ---
    If it hadn't been me,
    you could have killed someone!
[16:52] ---
    You removed your own arm?
[16:55] ---
    I chased a lot of rabbits around as a kid,
[16:58] ---
    so setting traps is a cinch for me.
[17:00] ---
    Brother!
[17:02] ---
    Hey, Al.
[17:04] ---
    Okay, good work, everyone.
[17:06] ---
    Why, you...! How can you be so carefree?!
[17:09] ---
    Wow, you guys are good. What do you say?
[17:12] ---
    Why don't you come work for me,
    and we'll rule the whole country?
[17:14] ---
    Enough of your blathering!
    You go back to Xing, right now--
[17:18] ---
    Oh, there they are!
[17:20] ---
    You've done quite a number,
    wrecking the town, haven't you?
[17:24] ---
    You're paying for the damages.
[17:25] ---
    And your dining bill.
[17:27] ---
    J-Just a minute!
[17:29] ---
    Have this guy and his entourage
    pay for the food and damages.
[17:32] ---
    I no understand this country language. Goodbye!
[17:36] ---
    Hey, you, wait the hell up!
[17:39] ---
    Huh?
[17:40] ---
    Ah! He ran away!
[17:43] ---
    This one, too!
[17:44] ---
    Aw, man. How can I fix
    things, in the shape I'm in?
[17:49] ---
    It's okay, Brother. I'll do it.
[17:55] ---
    You've gotten so you can do
    it without transmutation circles?
[17:58] ---
    I think it's because I got my
    memories about the truth back.
[18:03] ---
    Which means...!
[18:04] ---
    "Alchemic technique"
    "Older brother's dignity"
[18:06] ---
    "Height"
[18:09] ---
    "Older brother's dignity"
[18:11] ---
    Leave the rest to me.
[18:15] ---
    What's the matter, Brother?
[18:18] ---
    We're back.
[18:20] ---
    Hey, we meet again.
[18:24] ---
    Don't just sit there drinking tea!
[18:26] ---
    How cruel! And us, friends!
[18:29] ---
    Who are you calling friend?!
    Those two gave us a real hard time!
[18:34] ---
    Let it go. I'll give them
    a good talking-to later.
[18:37] ---
    The girl's name is Lan Fan,
    and the old man is Fu.
[18:41] ---
    Those two are from a family
    that has served us for generations,
[18:45] ---
    so accept their regards.
[18:46] ---
    For someone who shakes down others for food,
[18:49] ---
    you must have considerable
    status to have two attendants.
[18:51] ---
    Well, I am the emperor's son.
[18:55] ---
    Huh?!
[18:56] ---
    The emperor's son?!
[19:00] ---
    You mean you're a...
[19:02] ---
    prince!
[19:06] ---
    Usually, you'd be surprised by that, right?
[19:09] ---
    Oh, sorry. It was just so unexpected.
[19:12] ---
    Imagine, the guy who was
    collapsed by the side of the road
[19:14] ---
    and who freeloaded a meal out
    of us being the son of an emperor--
[19:19] ---
    I won't allow you to speak ill of Master Ling.
[19:23] ---
    You are here?
[19:24] ---
    Okay, sure, maybe it's not all that significant.
[19:28] ---
    The emperor has many sons.
[19:31] ---
    Xing is a nation made up of 50 different clans,
[19:36] ---
    with an emperor reigning over them at the top.
[19:39] ---
    Also, the daughter of each
    clan's chief is wed to the emperor,
[19:43] ---
    and bears his children.
[19:44] ---
    The current emperor has
    24 sons and 19 daughters.
[19:50] ---
    I am the twelfth among them.
[19:52] ---
    43 children...
[19:55] ---
    Is there any competition to be his successor?
[19:58] ---
    That is indeed a problem
    that we are faced with right now.
[20:01] ---
    The emperor is in fairly poor health.
[20:05] ---
    Each clan is going all-out to try to
    kiss up to him while they still can.
[20:08] ---
    Which is what I'm up to, too.
[20:10] ---
    You're going to use the method of
    gaining immortality to entice him.
[20:14] ---
    You are correct!
[20:15] ---
    Okay? So tell me some
    information about the Philosopher's Stone!
[20:19] ---
    No way! The Philosopher's Stone
    is not a tool for you to get ahead!
[20:23] ---
    Tell me, or I'll tag along with you from now on!
[20:26] ---
    Don't you tag along!
[20:27] ---
    I'm back!
[20:29] ---
    There was some kind of
    huge commotion on the main street,
[20:32] ---
    so it took a while to...
[20:38] ---
    Why is it broken off?!
[20:42] ---
    Why, you...! Why, you...! Why, you...!
[20:44] ---
    I'm sorry!
[20:45] ---
    Young Lord!
[20:47] ---
    There is no need for you to bow
    your head to someone so beneath you.
[20:52] ---
    If all it takes is me bowing my head,
    it's a small price to pay, right?
[20:57] ---
    The fate of 500,000 Yao
    clansmen are riding on this.
[21:01] ---
    We can't be so fussy about appearances.
[21:04] ---
    So, where are you going
    to break your automail this time?
[21:08] ---
    You just assume I'll break it?!
[21:10] ---
    We were thinking of looking around in Central.
[21:13] ---
    Huh? You're going to Central?
    I want to go, I want to go!
[21:17] ---
    What are you going there for?
[21:19] ---
    I want to go to Mr. Hughes' place to thank them!
[21:21] ---
    But Winry, you have to work, don't you?
[21:25] ---
    That's okay, Winry.
    You should take a breather once in a while.
[21:29] ---
    Really?! Thank you, Mr. Garfiel!
[21:32] ---
    Okay then, why don't we all...
[21:33] ---
    ...go to Central!
[21:36] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:37] ---
    I can't wait to see Central.
[21:40] ---
    I told you, you're not tagging along!
[21:47] ---
    So, she's tagging along with us after all.
[21:52] ---
    By the way, sir, you still
    haven't told me your name.
[21:57] ---
    Won't you please tell it to me?
[22:00] ---
    The Ishvalan people take pride
    when they speak their names,
[22:04] ---
    as they are a gift from God.
[22:07] ---
    Well, well, sir, yours must be a fine one.
[22:10] ---
    As such, I have renounced my name.
[22:14] ---
    Go! Keep moving!
[22:16] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[22:18] ---
    If this is to be a road
    from which I cannot return,
[22:21] ---
    then I will leave behind all
    that I have received from God.
[22:27] ---
    Let it all out, Let it all out
[22:33] ---
    We don't have to act so brave
[22:38] ---
    The graffiti flower that someone
[22:44] ---
    was drawing on the wall trembles
[22:50] ---
    Nobody knows their own uniqueness
[22:55] ---
    Along the long, long road, there will be
    days where we lose things, find things,
[23:01] ---
    become suddenly lonesome,
    and break down crying
[23:10] ---
    Let's turn the tears and pain into stars
[23:16] ---
    Let's light the lights that shine on tomorrow
[23:22] ---
    Holding up our little hands to them,
    let's make stardust together
[23:30] ---
    and a brightly shining eternity...
[23:32] ---
    The day may come when we say goodbye
[23:38] ---
    The seasons will still make their rounds
[23:44] ---
    Though I may wander a little, I'll still walk
[23:48] ---
    Still walk with you
[23:52] ---
    Let's make sure that much doesn't change
[23:59] ---
    With hearts swollen in
    anticipation of a reunion,
[24:02] ---
    Ed and the others return to Central,
[24:04] ---
    where they are greeted by the sad facts.
[24:07] ---
    And then the darkness chooses a new sacrifice.
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:16] ---
    Episode 16: "Footsteps of a Comrade-in-Arms."
[24:20] ---
    As the man starts walking,
[24:23] ---
    will he have light in his heart, or darkness?
