[01:34] ---
    Ah, I'm worn out.
[01:37] ---
    You were being spied on that whole time.
[01:39] ---
    Mr. Fu and Lan Fan, wasn't it?
[01:42] ---
    Hey, where is the Young Lord?
[01:49] ---
    He's not here.
[01:50] ---
    Could he have gone missing again?
[01:54] ---
    My word, he does this as
    soon as I take my eyes off him!
[01:59] ---
    Young Lord! Where have you gone off to?!
[02:03] ---
    W-What if he's collapsed again?
[02:06] ---
    Ah, that's a relief. Let's go.
[02:10] ---
    Right!
[02:14] ---
    Young Lord! Where are you?!
[02:26] ---
    There's something weird about this country.
[02:44] ---
    It's me. I came to check on you.
[02:48] ---
    You're doing a fine job.
[02:50] ---
    This is from the colonel.
[02:54] ---
    Yo, it's the smoking dude.
[02:56] ---
    Well? Have you beaten him even once?
[02:59] ---
    Not even. And for that
    matter, this game is boring.
[03:03] ---
    Hey, if it's nighttime,
    I can go out and cut someone up, right?
[03:06] ---
    Of course you can't.
[03:07] ---
    Then at least bring that lady Hawkeye here.
[03:12] ---
    Yeah, I'll tell the lady.
[03:15] ---
    How long do I have to keep
    watch over this guy, anyway?
[03:20] ---
    What does the colonel say?
[03:22] ---
    He says, "Sorry to have to assign
    you to this dangerous assignment.
[03:26] ---
    Don't worry about your military duties.
[03:28] ---
    We're treating it like sick leave.
[03:31] ---
    But if anyone from the general public
[03:33] ---
    or military personnel other
    than ourselves sees you,
[03:36] ---
    don't think you won't pay for it."
[03:41] ---
    Any news of a slightly brighter future?
[03:44] ---
    Yes.
[03:45] ---
    What is it?
[03:47] ---
    I've found myself a girlfriend!
[03:50] ---
    She was really nice to me when I was
    having lots of trouble with the move here.
[03:54] ---
    She's a really fine girl, too.
[03:56] ---
    Hey, would this girl be fun to cut up?
[03:59] ---
    --Please leave now.
    --What do you say, can I cut her?
[04:04] ---
    Hey, you okay?
[04:06] ---
    F-Food...
[04:08] ---
    Aw, collapsed by the side of the road, huh?
[04:11] ---
    Where are you from?
[04:13] ---
    What? You came from Xing?
[04:16] ---
    What a faraway place to come from.
[04:18] ---
    Now then, where's your entry visa?
[04:24] ---
    Hey, make way, make way!
[04:25] ---
    Illegal alien, coming through!
[04:28] ---
    Young Lord, where are you?!
[04:31] ---
    He's collapsed! I'm sure he's collapsed!
[04:35] ---
    Now then, I guess we should
    drop by the military offices first.
[04:39] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[04:40] ---
    Well, I think maybe I'll go on
    ahead to Mr. Hughes' house
[04:43] ---
    and pay my respects.
[04:45] ---
    I want to see Mrs. Gracia and Elicia right away.
[04:48] ---
    Gotcha. We'll be right behind you.
[04:51] ---
    Okay, see you later.
[04:57] ---
    I wonder if Colonel Hughes has
    put together any more information
[04:59] ---
    about the Philosopher's Stone
    for us since we left.
[05:03] ---
    The Fuhrer was pretty clear about it.
[05:07] ---
    Let's first give him the
    information that we've found out.
[05:11] ---
    The Homunculi.
[05:13] ---
    Yeah.
[05:14] ---
    The colonel is in the
    court-martial office, as I recall.
[05:19] ---
    That way.
[05:38] ---
    Sheska... Sheska!
[05:42] ---
    Yes, sir?
[05:42] ---
    You had the key to that room, right?
[05:45] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:46] ---
    Ah...! You mean, N-Number 3, right?
[05:49] ---
    It's still a mess from when I was using it.
[05:52] ---
    That's all right. I just have
    to get the documents I need.
[05:55] ---
    Really, you can't!
    I'll straighten it up on the double,
[05:57] ---
    if you could just wait a moment!
[06:01] ---
    Okay, I'll come by later for them,
    so take care of it before then.
[06:05] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[06:20] ---
    Um, Colonel? Colonel Mustang?
[06:29] ---
    How long have I been asleep?
[06:33] ---
    About ten minutes, I'd say.
[06:39] ---
    There's no time left before the council meeting.
[06:41] ---
    Um, perhaps it's none of my business,
[06:45] ---
    but maybe you shouldn't push
    yourself so hard, and get some rest.
[06:48] ---
    Hmm. I'll be back later.
[06:53] ---
    Was that Colonel Mustang just now?
[06:57] ---
    G-Good morning, Captain Focker.
[07:00] ---
    Good morning, Sheska.
[07:03] ---
    By the way, what was the colonel doing here?
[07:06] ---
    Ah, um, well...
[07:08] ---
    The storeroom is open.
[07:09] ---
    I'm sorry! The truth is, I...
[07:13] ---
    I'll bet the colonel twisted your arm, right?
[07:16] ---
    I won't tell anyone.
[07:17] ---
    Ah, thank you very much!
[07:20] ---
    But then, I wonder what
    the colonel was looking into.
[07:24] ---
    Do you know?
[07:26] ---
    I don't know all the details,
[07:30] ---
    but he asked me if there were any
    materials about the 5th Laboratory.
[07:35] ---
    Also, he asked about the General Hughes case.
[07:40] ---
    I got my job here through the general.
[07:44] ---
    Ah, that's right.
[07:49] ---
    Well, there's a huge
    stack of work to get to today.
[07:53] ---
    Carry on.
[07:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:13] ---
    Good morning, Sheska.
[08:15] ---
    Sir?
[08:17] ---
    Huh?
[08:37] ---
    Hello.
[08:38] ---
    Hey.
[08:44] ---
    Have you lost some weight, sir?
[08:48] ---
    Maybe. Did you get injured?
[08:52] ---
    There was a little something down in the south.
[08:55] ---
    But this is just a scratch.
[08:58] ---
    I see.
[09:00] ---
    I saw the Elric brothers.
[09:04] ---
    They had gone to Dublith to see
    their teacher, and I chanced upon them.
[09:08] ---
    Major...
[09:09] ---
    Sir?
[09:11] ---
    Did you tell them about Hughes' death?
[09:15] ---
    No. I couldn't bring myself to tell them.
[09:18] ---
    They're going to find out eventually.
[09:20] ---
    I know.
[09:23] ---
    The 5th Laboratory and
    the Philosopher's Stones.
[09:26] ---
    The Stones' ingredients are live humans.
[09:29] ---
    He used to enjoy doing things for others.
[09:32] ---
    He stuck his nose into what
    the Elric brothers were investigating,
[09:35] ---
    and learned something he
    would've been better off not knowing.
[09:39] ---
    Am I wrong?
[09:42] ---
    If the brothers found out that Hughes died
[09:45] ---
    because of what they were
    involved with, it would have hurt them.
[09:50] ---
    You're a good-hearted person.
[09:54] ---
    You're well-informed.
[09:56] ---
    I'm almost there.
[09:58] ---
    Please, be careful, sir.
[10:02] ---
    There's no telling who might be listening where.
[10:07] ---
    Well, if you'll excuse me...
[10:16] ---
    Huh? Lieutenant Hawkeye...
[10:20] ---
    Oh, long time no see.
[10:23] ---
    Lieutenant, if you're here, then...
[10:25] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[10:27] ---
    Sure enough.
[10:29] ---
    Oh, Fullmetal.
[10:30] ---
    Colonel, what are you doing here?
[10:33] ---
    I was assigned to Central last month.
[10:37] ---
    What about you? What brings you here today?
[10:40] ---
    Well, just a little information gathering.
[10:44] ---
    After that, we were thinking of
    saying hello to Colonel Hughes.
[10:48] ---
    How's the colonel doing?
[10:53] ---
    He's not here.
[10:54] ---
    Huh?
[10:56] ---
    He retired out to the country.
    He took his wife and kid,
[11:01] ---
    and said he was taking over the family business.
[11:03] ---
    So, he's not here.
[11:06] ---
    He's not? That's too bad.
[11:08] ---
    We were hoping to see him.
[11:14] ---
    Fullmetal...
[11:16] ---
    Don't get ahead of yourself,
    and do anything crazy.
[11:21] ---
    Yeah...
[11:33] ---
    You're going to treat
    him like a child this time?
[11:36] ---
    There's no need for him to find out now.
[11:39] ---
    The fewer obstacles those brothers have
    to block their progress right now, the better.
[11:44] ---
    But they are going to find out someday.
[11:49] ---
    I'm in no position to call
    Major Armstrong a soft touch.
[11:57] ---
    Are you sure this is a matter
    that calls for a soft touch?
[12:01] ---
    It's cruel.
[12:03] ---
    The colonel isn't here.
[12:06] ---
    Ah! That's right, Brother.
    We have to tell Winry.
[12:10] ---
    She went to Mr. Hughes' house.
[12:12] ---
    You're right.
[12:17] ---
    Lieutenant Ross!
[12:19] ---
    I haven't seen you two in a while. Why the rush?
[12:22] ---
    We heard about Lt. Colonel Hughes.
[12:27] ---
    Oh. That's rough, huh?
[12:29] ---
    There was so much we wanted to tell him, too.
[12:32] ---
    We wanted to at least say goodbye.
[12:35] ---
    We weren't able to reach you.
[12:38] ---
    It's okay, the military
    gave him a proper send-off.
[12:42] ---
    Wow, that was nice of them.
[12:44] ---
    It's only natural.
[12:46] ---
    Also, you might have heard,
    they promoted him two ranks,
[12:51] ---
    so he's not a lieutenant colonel,
    he's a brigadier general.
[12:54] ---
    Promoted him two ranks?
[12:56] ---
    He retired to the countryside,
    and they promoted him?
[13:05] ---
    Lieutenant Ross?
[13:23] ---
    Here you go.
[13:25] ---
    Thanks.
[13:31] ---
    It can't be.
[13:32] ---
    Why the colonel? Why?!
[13:42] ---
    Brother!
[13:45] ---
    General Hughes was killed by someone
[13:48] ---
    soon after you were
    discharged from the hospital, Edward.

[13:52] ---
    We still haven't caught the culprit.
[13:57] ---
    It's my fault. I'm the one who
    pulled Colonel Hughes into this!

[14:17] ---
    Okay, be careful on your journey.
[14:19] ---
    If you ever come by Central, give me a holler.
[14:22] ---
    Alphonse, you can't eat while
    still wearing your armor, right?
[14:25] ---
    You guys don't have a place to stay yet, right?
[14:28] ---
    So come home with me.
[14:48] ---
    Papa!
[15:07] ---
    What do we do?
[15:09] ---
    Tell it like it is.
[15:11] ---
    You go on back. I'm the only one
    who has to take the blame for this.
[15:18] ---
    Brother, this isn't just
    your problem. It's both of ours.
[15:22] ---
    So I'm going, too.
[15:26] ---
    Say, Al, what if...
[15:28] ---
    We made up our minds to get
    our bodies back, no matter what...
[15:34] ---
    but if people are going to die because of it,
[15:37] ---
    I don't want my body back.
[15:46] ---
    Winry is...
[15:48] ---
    Right.
[15:52] ---
    Winry...
[15:58] ---
    There's something that I have
    to tell you, Mrs. Gracia. May I?
[16:05] ---
    To me?
[16:06] ---
    Yes.
[16:08] ---
    You, too, Winry.
[16:14] ---
    My husband learned something
    about the Philosopher's Stone.
[16:19] ---
    My husband's death is a
    warning from those criminals,
[16:22] ---
    telling you not to stick your
    noses in any further, isn't it?
[16:27] ---
    We as much as dragged him into this.
[16:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:36] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:40] ---
    That would be just like him,
    dying while trying to help others out.
[16:45] ---
    He's always come out the
    worse for his meddlesome,
[16:48] ---
    busybody ways, going way back.
[16:52] ---
    But I don't think he ever had any regrets.
[16:56] ---
    Not even in his dying moments.
[17:00] ---
    We...
[17:03] ---
    Don't say you're giving up, okay?
[17:07] ---
    If you give up now, my husband's
    death will be utterly meaningless.
[17:15] ---
    Even if the Philosopher's
    Stone doesn't work out,
[17:17] ---
    there might be some other way, right?
[17:23] ---
    Mrs. Gracia...
[17:26] ---
    Keep moving forward, in
    some way that you can accept.
[17:37] ---
    Mama...
[17:39] ---
    Mama, don't cry.
[18:41] ---
    Winry, are you in there?
[18:47] ---
    You haven't eaten, have you?
    The dining room is closing soon.
[18:53] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[18:54] ---
    You have to eat, to keep up your strength.
[18:58] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:00] ---
    Okay, I'm going back to my room.
[19:08] ---
    Apple pie?
[19:10] ---
    I've practiced making it a few times.
[19:14] ---
    I hate to say so myself,
    but I've gotten pretty good at it.
[19:19] ---
    I'm not nearly as good as Mrs. Gracia, though.
[19:24] ---
    Someday...
[19:27] ---
    I was hoping to have Mr. Hughes eat some, too.
[19:49] ---
    You say the colonel is snooping
    around the Hughes matter?
[19:53] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:54] ---
    He may have discovered something.
[19:57] ---
    Maybe.
[20:00] ---
    What do we do?
[20:01] ---
    We moved him to Central,
    thinking we could observe him better
[20:04] ---
    where we could keep an eye on him.
[20:07] ---
    Why can't he behave himself better?
[20:09] ---
    He's an important
    candidate for sacrifice, after all.
[20:12] ---
    Haven't you gotten
    anything out of your boyfriend?
[20:15] ---
    Nothing. Either he was born
    an idiot, or he's just a hustler.
[20:19] ---
    I'm going to gather some more intelligence.
[20:23] ---
    Come along, Gluttony.
[20:28] ---
    Hey, Gluttony!
[20:30] ---
    Don't leave the place a mess.
[20:32] ---
    Geez, man.
[20:35] ---
    Hey, Lust,
[20:37] ---
    sure would be nice if the Flame
    Colonel would behave himself, huh?
[20:42] ---
    Yes.
[20:43] ---
    You feel like making another play?
[20:48] ---
    Have you got something?
[20:50] ---
    When you've got a noisy dog,
    you have to give it some food.
[20:59] ---
    2nd Lieutenant Maria Ross.
[21:02] ---
    Henry Douglas, Provost Marshal's Office.
[21:06] ---
    Did you need something from me?
[21:08] ---
    You'll have to come with us. Your gun.
[21:15] ---
    Can I ask what this is about?
[21:18] ---
    Your name has come up as a material witness
[21:21] ---
    in the Maes Hughes murder case.
[21:24] ---
    That's absurd!
[21:25] ---
    You may tell your side later.
[21:28] ---
    Come with us.
[21:33] ---
    Lieutenant Maria Ross
    herself is pleading not guilty.
[21:37] ---
    Gather all the materials
    you can pertaining to her.
[21:40] ---
    Be quick, but do it secretly.
[21:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[21:53] ---
    Ma'am, bundle these flowers for me.
[21:56] ---
    Oh, my, you have a date, lover boy?
[22:14] ---
    Been waiting long, Solaris?
[22:17] ---
    No, I just got here.
[22:20] ---
    I've missed you, Jean.
    Tell me some more interesting stories.
[22:27] ---
    Let it all out, Let it all out

    his hand into the darkness.

    as if whirling about in unseen hands.
