[01:34] ---
    Scar has once again appeared in Central.
[01:38] ---
    Working together with Ling,
[01:40] ---
    Ed and Al intentionally draw Scar's attention,
[01:43] ---
    in order to lure out the Homunculi.
[01:48] ---
    The strategy pays off,
[01:50] ---
    and the Homunculi Gluttony and Wrath appear.
[01:54] ---
    However...
[01:58] ---
    Lan Fan!
[02:06] ---
    Ho... you parried with
    your kunai knife, did you?
[02:10] ---
    Can I eat her?
[02:12] ---
    Do it quickly.
[02:22] ---
    Lan Fan! Stay with me!
[02:29] ---
    Do you think that you can escape from my eye?
[02:38] ---
    Ho... I see you're no stranger to fighting.
[02:44] ---
    He's always swinging around
    to my left, into my blind spot.
[02:50] ---
    Gluttony!
[02:51] ---
    Right!
[03:03] ---
    Now then, no one will see us in here.
[03:06] ---
    How about answering some of my questions?
[03:10] ---
    Who are you people? How do you
    know what's inside Gluttony?
[03:17] ---
    Are you still looking for a
    way to escape, even now?
[03:21] ---
    You could probably get away on your own,
[03:24] ---
    if you abandoned the girl,
    who is now excess baggage.
[03:28] ---
    Excess baggage?
[03:30] ---
    You're the highest person
    in all the land, right?
[03:34] ---
    Fuhrer King Bradley, wasn't it?
[03:38] ---
    A king is to be for the people.
[03:40] ---
    There is no king without his people!
[03:43] ---
    King Bradley! You will never be a true king!
[03:48] ---
    Naive fool!
[03:50] ---
    There are no true kings in this world!
[03:58] ---
    You rely too heavily on your eyesight!
[04:01] ---
    Judging by the wind currents, the exit is...
[04:08] ---
    What's the matter?
[04:10] ---
    This eye still works!
[04:21] ---
    Winry...
[04:24] ---
    We'll be right back, so you be a good girl,
[04:27] ---
    and hold things down here for us.
[04:45] ---
    Winry...
[04:51] ---
    We're here.
[05:21] ---
    I guess maybe I projected
    Dad's back onto Mr. Hughes.
[05:28] ---
    Come by and visit once in a while, okay?
[05:34] ---
    He gets quite lonesome, after all.
[05:39] ---
    Mrs. Gracia...
[06:06] ---
    I hear the Elric brothers are wreaking havoc.
[06:08] ---
    Huh? Again?
[06:10] ---
    The MPs have been running
    around all over the place.
[06:14] ---
    Another fight? Good grief.
[06:18] ---
    They're taking on that one guy
    who only targets State Alchemists.
[06:21] ---
    Haven't they caught him yet?
[06:23] ---
    What is the military waiting for?
[06:31] ---
    Oh, no... why are they overlapping...?
[06:49] ---
    A dead end!
[06:51] ---
    Dammit!
[07:06] ---
    N-Nice one, my brother!
[07:08] ---
    Never mind, we're getting out of here, quick!
[07:10] ---
    --Permission to fire?!
    --Not yet!
[07:12] ---
    Damn, why not?!
[07:22] ---
    The signal flare from Ling
    hasn't been sent up yet.
[07:25] ---
    Brother is starting to get tired.
    I guess I'll have to buy some time.
[07:30] ---
    Scar! Why are you so
    prejudiced against alchemists,
[07:34] ---
    saying they've gone against God,
    when you use alchemy, too?!
[07:38] ---
    I thought I told you why in East City.
[07:41] ---
    Where there are creators, like you,
    there must also be destroyers.
[07:44] ---
    You're just...
[07:47] ---
    You're just using the name
    of God to justify your killing!
[07:54] ---
    You also killed Shou Tucker and Nina,
[07:57] ---
    claiming to be an agent of God, didn't you?!
[08:01] ---
    Oh, so you saw that Chimera too, did you?
[08:06] ---
    The art that created that tragic creature--
[08:09] ---
    is it the same alchemy that you idolize?
[08:13] ---
    It was your hand that put your
    brother into that irredeemable body.
[08:19] ---
    It was vanity in the art of creating something
[08:22] ---
    that brought about that Chimera, was it not?
[08:26] ---
    Even so, why did you have to kill her?!
[08:29] ---
    Why did you take her life?!
[08:32] ---
    You knew, didn't you,
[08:35] ---
    that the Chimera could never
    be returned to normal?
[08:40] ---
    That as it was, it would have been
    treated like a laboratory specimen,
[08:44] ---
    and not have been treated as
    a human for the rest of its life?
[08:54] ---
    He's right. Back then, we had an
    inkling somewhere in our minds
[09:00] ---
    that Nina might be sent off to a laboratory.
[09:03] ---
    We put off dealing with the problem
[09:05] ---
    because we couldn't do anything about it.
[09:07] ---
    So we did nothing.
[09:10] ---
    Nothing.
[09:25] ---
    It's true, we alchemists have
    committed some mistakes.
[09:30] ---
    But even so, it doesn't mean
    we can accept what you're doing!
[09:39] ---
    Do you remember an Amestrisian
    doctor named Rockbell?
[09:46] ---
    Even after the order to exterminate
    uprising Ishval came out,
[09:50] ---
    they continued to help the Ishvalans.
[09:55] ---
    --Wait, Brother!
    --Don't you remember the
    doctor couple that saved you,
[09:59] ---
    and that you killed?!
[10:04] ---
    Brother!
[10:10] ---
    What are you talking about?
[10:13] ---
    Winry...
[10:15] ---
    This is the man who killed Mom and Dad?
[10:24] ---
    You're kidding. They were killed...
    by someone they helped...?
[10:34] ---
    Why...?
[10:37] ---
    What did my mom and dad ever do?
[10:41] ---
    They never did anything that they
    deserved to be killed for, right?
[10:49] ---
    Give them back...!
[10:51] ---
    Give me back my mom and dad!
[11:07] ---
    Hold on, Winry.
[11:09] ---
    Don't. You can't.
[11:12] ---
    Winry!
[11:13] ---
    Don't do it!
[11:17] ---
    I understand the animosity you feel.
[11:19] ---
    But vengeance will only
    cultivate more vengeance.
[11:30] ---
    You must abide this.
[11:41] ---
    You are the doctors' daughter?
[11:46] ---
    You have a right to shoot me.
[11:55] ---
    Brother...
[11:57] ---
    Brother!
[12:00] ---
    Brother, the armed forces are almost here!
[12:03] ---
    Leave that research alone!
[12:05] ---
    Wait, I'm almost there.
[12:08] ---
    What are those tattoos?!
[12:10] ---
    Oh, these?
[12:13] ---
    The basis of alchemy is
    understanding, decomposition,
[12:16] ---
    and reconstruction.
[12:18] ---
    My right arm decomposes,
    and the left arm reconstructs.
[12:23] ---
    Having studied eastern alkahestry,
    I arranged them in my own way.
[12:27] ---
    Moreover, I've learned something.
[12:30] ---
    The alchemy of this land is quite unusual.
[12:32] ---
    None of that matters now!
[12:34] ---
    Never mind that, the armed forces are--
[12:36] ---
    Hey...
[12:40] ---
    Why are you stopping me?! We have to
    get away from here as soon as we can!
[12:43] ---
    Please, try to remain calm.
[12:45] ---
    Your brother's research just might save Ishval.
[12:49] ---
    What?!
[12:50] ---
    Did you hear about the State Alchemists?
[12:54] ---
    Word is that they are coming in as weapons,
[12:56] ---
    and overrunning Ishval
    with their terrible force.
[12:59] ---
    Even though we are their
    fellow Amestrisian citizens.
[13:03] ---
    I knew about that,
[13:06] ---
    but what does it have to do with my brother?
[13:09] ---
    Your brother will be able to
    oppose the State Alchemists.
[13:13] ---
    And with great power beyond even theirs,
[13:16] ---
    he may be able to find a way
    to annihilate the military!
[13:21] ---
    Fight power with greater power...
[13:24] ---
    Retaliate against them with alchemy!
[13:27] ---
    Pay them back in blood!
[13:31] ---
    Behold, Brother, this is the
    alchemy you devote yourself to.
[13:36] ---
    You may wish that it is for the sake
     of others, and for happiness...
[13:41] ---
    ...but no one else sees it that way, do they?!
[13:47] ---
    Run!
[14:18] ---
    So this is alchemy?
[14:32] ---
    This is what is going to save Ishval?
[14:50] ---
    This, which does nothing but destroy
    and slaughter, over and over?
[15:01] ---
    No!
[15:07] ---
    Father! Mother!
[15:10] ---
    Are you all right?!
[15:12] ---
    Yeah, no trouble.
[15:14] ---
    We're lucky that everyone
    was getting ready to flee.
[15:17] ---
    I made it. It took so long because I
    was compiling the important things.
[15:21] ---
    The important things?
[15:23] ---
    Here, you hold on to this.
[15:25] ---
    What is it?
[15:27] ---
    My research notes.
    This is all I was able to bring.
[15:31] ---
    Take it and get away from here.
[15:32] ---
    Hold on a minute.
[15:33] ---
    If anything happens to me,
    all of my research will be lost.
[15:37] ---
    You can take it and run away yourself, right?
[15:40] ---
    You are a superb warrior monk,
    who has gone through rigorous training.
[15:44] ---
    You have a higher chance of surviving than I do.
[15:49] ---
    Look.
[15:51] ---
    I can't stop my legs from shaking.
[15:55] ---
    I'm a pathetic older brother.
[15:57] ---
    Brother...
[16:04] ---
    An armed forces soldier?!
[16:11] ---
    Transmutation circles!
[16:12] ---
    He's a State Alchemist!
[16:26] ---
    Get down!
[16:49] ---
    Stay with me. Don't you die.
[16:58] ---
    Damn, I can't stop the bleeding.
[17:02] ---
    His arm... Where is my brother's arm?
[17:10] ---
    Dad...
[17:11] ---
    Mom...
[17:13] ---
    ...everyone... somebody...!
[17:26] ---
    Live! You must not die!
[17:33] ---
    I'll fight! I'll show them Ishval's pride!
[17:36] ---
    Then that's all the more
    reason for you to run away!
[17:38] ---
    Right! We didn't treat you just to let you die!
[17:42] ---
    Doctor, you and your wife
    are the ones who should go!
[17:44] ---
    You're a patient.
    Don't worry over us unnecessarily.
[17:48] ---
    Brother...
[17:49] ---
    Get down!
[17:52] ---
    That's crazy... You protected me...?
[17:57] ---
    Brother...
[18:00] ---
    Anyone who can get away
    on their own, start running!
[18:04] ---
    He's coming to!
[18:08] ---
    Don't move. You'll open your wounds.
[18:10] ---
    Dear, come here! Dear!
[18:15] ---
    You still need bed rest.
[18:18] ---
    Somebody! Get that cart! Take him with you!
[18:23] ---
    Brother...?
[18:26] ---
    Ah, thank goodness. Brother, you made it--
[18:33] ---
    W-What...
[18:35] ---
    What is this?!
[18:39] ---
    Sedatives!
[18:40] ---
    There aren't any more!
    We used them all up on the last boy!
[18:50] ---
    State Alchemists...
[18:52] ---
    Amestrisians...
[18:55] ---
    You will pay...
[19:00] ---
    You're going to... you're going to...!
[19:04] ---
    Dr. Rockbell!
[19:40] ---
    Shoot me.
[19:43] ---
    Don't shoot, Winry! Put the gun down!
[19:45] ---
    You shouldn't be holding that thing, Winry!
[19:48] ---
    Shoot me! But if you shoot, in that moment,
[19:53] ---
    I will consider you my enemy!
[19:55] ---
    Scar!
[19:56] ---
    Why, you! You just try to lay a hand on Winry!
[19:58] ---
    Will you kill me? That will also do!
[20:01] ---
    Until one of us perishes,
    this chain of hatred will not cease!
[20:06] ---
    But don't you forget!
[20:08] ---
    It was the Amestrisians who first
    pulled the trigger in the civil war!
[20:12] ---
    It was you!
[20:18] ---
    No! Don't shoot him!
[20:19] ---
    Hurry up and put the gun down,
    and then get away from here!
[20:23] ---
    Winry!
[20:25] ---
    If you cannot shoot,
    then leave this place at once!
[20:29] ---
    You're in the way!
[20:34] ---
    Don't shoot!
[20:47] ---
    Get down!
[20:52] ---
    Brother...
[21:08] ---
    Brother, you dummy! What are you doing?!
[21:10] ---
    Are you trying to get both of you killed?!
[21:12] ---
    Hurry up and take Winry someplace safe!
[21:23] ---
    Winry, let go of the gun.
[21:26] ---
    I couldn't shoot him.
[21:28] ---
    Don't shoot. I'm begging you.
[21:31] ---
    But... he's the one who killed Mom and Dad...
[21:36] ---
    He tried to kill you and Al, too, Ed.
[21:39] ---
    And yet, why couldn't I...?
[21:44] ---
    You delivered that baby in Rush Valley,
    saving mother and child.
[21:51] ---
    You gave me the arm and leg
    that allow me to stand up.
[21:59] ---
    Your hands are not hands that kill others.
[22:04] ---
    They're hands that give life to others.
[22:08] ---
    That's why.
[22:27] ---
    Let it all out, Let it all out

    Must something be given up in order to protect?
[24:02] ---
    Will those who are not prepared to give it up
[24:04] ---
    lose it, and sink to the ground?
[24:07] ---
    Nay, the resolve to protect will spread,
    and overcome the worst.

    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:17] ---
    Episode 23: "Girl On the Battlefield."
[24:22] ---
    I shall not show any tears of sorrow.
[24:24] ---
    That is my promise.
