[00:00] ---
    Beckoned now by the snow-white backdrop,
[00:06] ---
    I go into a yet unseen world
[00:18] ---
    Lost as I traveled
[00:21] ---
    under a gray sky,
[00:24] ---
    with a different map each day,
    so many dreams ran together

[00:30] ---
    I wonder if someday,
    even with my modest stride,

[00:37] ---
    I'll be able to get beyond those clouds
[00:43] ---
    Falling raindrops provide
    a persistent diffuse reflection

[00:49] ---
    as though able to see into my heart,
    wounded for acting tough

[00:56] ---
    Beams of light crisscross
[01:01] ---
    and shoot on forever without
    announcing where they're headed

[01:08] ---
    Faint afterimages burn into my eyes
[01:14] ---
    Wherever I am under this sky,
[01:20] ---
    I should still arrive at a yet unseen world
[01:45] ---
    Smoke bomb and a grenade...
[01:49] ---
    Such a reckless child.
    Can you follow their scent?
[01:53] ---
    Uh-huh.
[02:02] ---
    Officer...
[02:05] ---
    Please take her someplace safe.
[02:08] ---
    Winry, Al is still fighting, so I have to go.
[02:14] ---
    I'm sorry. I'll tell you
    everything once we get back.
[02:30] ---
    Why... is waiting the only thing I can do?
[02:35] ---
    We have a girl in custody on
    Saint Louis Street in Sector 8.
[02:38] ---
    She appears to be a friend
    of the Fullmetal Alchemist.
[02:41] ---
    Escort her to the Central Command Center.
[02:43] ---
    Repeat, Saint Louis Street, Sector 8.
    We have a girl in custody.
[02:47] ---
    --She appears to be a friend
    of the Fullmetal Alchemist.
    --It's just about time.
[02:49] ---
    Escort her to the Central Command Center.
[02:51] ---
    Go back them up.
[02:52] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:57] ---
    There's a vacant house
    outside of town we can use.
[03:00] ---
    We'll meet up here.
[03:01] ---
    --Don't let anyone follow you.
    --Yes, sir.
[03:05] ---
    If anything develops, I will contact you.
[03:07] ---
    Yeah.
[03:12] ---
    And do not go out into the field, sir.
[03:14] ---
    I know.
[03:23] ---
    He's relentless!
[03:29] ---
    There are gradually fewer people this way...
[03:33] ---
    Are we pinned in?!
[03:40] ---
    Scar, huh?
[03:42] ---
    You dispose of him. I'll finish things here.
[03:55] ---
    My left arm...
[03:56] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:58] ---
    Young Lord, I am no longer of any use to you.
[04:02] ---
    What are you talking about?
[04:04] ---
    If you keep concerning
    yourself over me, Young Lord,
[04:06] ---
    then you will fall, as well.
[04:09] ---
    There is no king without his people.
[04:12] ---
    But without their king,
    the people will have nowhere to go.
[04:16] ---
    Young Lord, you must live,
    for the sake of our clan.
[04:21] ---
    I'm not leaving you.
[04:24] ---
    There are any number of things
    that can be left behind,
[04:26] ---
    for the greater good.
[04:30] ---
    Lan Fan!
[04:31] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[04:33] ---
    Stop!
[04:49] ---
    You're hollow inside that armor, right?
[04:52] ---
    You poor boy. You have the ill
    fortune of being put in that body,
[04:55] ---
    and you still place faith in alchemy?
[05:04] ---
    There are a lot of things that
    are inconvenient about this body.
[05:08] ---
    But inconvenient does not equal ill-fortuned!
[05:11] ---
    There's no reason for anyone to take pity on me!
[05:14] ---
    Brother saved my life with alchemy.
[05:18] ---
    To disavow who I am now would be
    to disavow Brother, and alchemy.
[05:24] ---
    I believe in the possibilities
    of alchemy. I want to believe!
[05:29] ---
    Is that right?
[05:41] ---
    Brother! Where's Winry?
[05:44] ---
    She's all right.
[05:46] ---
    I'm pathetic. I made her cry again.
[05:50] ---
    Brother, you're always so thoughtless!
[05:55] ---
    She saw you engaged in bloody combat.
[05:58] ---
    Yeah.
[06:00] ---
    Now then, let's get back to the fight.
[06:03] ---
    I found you!
[06:08] ---
    Ishvalan!
[06:11] ---
    You're...!
[06:12] ---
    That tattoo!
[06:14] ---
    A Homunculus!
[06:47] ---
    Ling?!
[06:52] ---
    Run!
[07:12] ---
    Sturdy wire!
[07:13] ---
    R-Right!
[07:18] ---
    Your overactive regenerative
    ability is working against you, huh?
[07:21] ---
    Your own flesh, swelling out from the inside,
[07:23] ---
    is what's holding you tight.
[07:28] ---
    I've caught you, Homunculus!
[07:41] ---
    Nicely played.
[07:55] ---
    I've outwitted you, you monster!
[07:59] ---
    What? A Homunculus?
[08:12] ---
    Put him in! We're getting out of here!
[08:27] ---
    Ah, hold on, Hawk--
[08:28] ---
    Shh!
[08:32] ---
    Just a minute--
[08:33] ---
    Al!
[08:36] ---
    The MPs are watching.
    Pretend we don't know her!
[08:40] ---
    --They're getting away! Catch Scar!
    --Yes, sir!
[08:42] ---
    The colonel may be a creep,
    but we can trust him.
[08:46] ---
    Right now, we should be...
[08:58] ---
    We're going to catch Scar, Al!
[09:00] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[09:02] ---
    For killing the Rockbells,
    and all the other stuff!
[09:05] ---
    You're going to answer for your crimes--
[09:17] ---
    Are you all right, servant?
[09:20] ---
    What are you doing to the manservant
    of Mr. Yoki, who saved my life?!
[09:23] ---
    You beansprout boy!
[09:25] ---
    What did you call me, you beansprout girl?!
[09:27] ---
    Who is that child?
[09:29] ---
    Little girl, move away! It's dangerous there!
[09:33] ---
    We're outnumbered. It's time to retreat.
[09:55] ---
    What kind of alchemy was that?!
[09:57] ---
    She transmuted from a distance?!
[10:00] ---
    This way.
[10:03] ---
    Damn, I can't see!
[10:05] ---
    Scar!
[10:12] ---
    I've heard about you, Ling Yao.
[10:15] ---
    We're on our way straight to a safe house.
[10:17] ---
    Wait! I have a friend. Pick her up!
[10:20] ---
    Eh?! We can't. We don't have time!
[10:23] ---
    Please! She's about to die!
    She's waiting for me to come get her!
[10:30] ---
    Make it quick!
[10:43] ---
    I'm sure that woman is Mustang's...
[10:52] ---
    Now you've done it, you young punk.
[11:06] ---
    Was that the look in my eyes, too?
[11:12] ---
    No matter how far I go,
    hatred only leads to more hatred.

[11:21] ---
    I think I've stopped the bleeding.
[11:24] ---
    Thanks.
[11:28] ---
    Sir! The MPs are getting close!
    We should get out of here!
[11:33] ---
    He's injured. He can't have
    gotten too far away yet!
[11:37] ---
    Comb the area for him!
[11:39] ---
    Sir! Quickly, quickly!
[11:42] ---
    Shao May, we're getting--
[11:45] ---
    Huh?
[11:48] ---
    I found her.
[11:53] ---
    Look, you! What are you picking
    that thing up for in this crisis?!
[11:56] ---
    But she was all alone in all that confusion!
[11:59] ---
    You're always, always picking up stray cats
[12:02] ---
    and secretly keeping them
    inside your body! Get rid of it!
[12:05] ---
    Brother, you're inhuman!
[12:07] ---
    Look how gentle she is.
[12:13] ---
    It's all right. Take it easy.
[12:28] ---
    This way, please.
[12:30] ---
    Thanks.
[12:32] ---
    You stay in here.
[12:42] ---
    Winry...
[12:46] ---
    Hey there, Fullmetal Alchemist.
[12:51] ---
    Fuhrer Bradley...!
[12:52] ---
    Why are you...?
[12:54] ---
    I heard that your childhood friend
    was in our protection.
[12:59] ---
    She's the friend of one of our
    most important personnel.
[13:02] ---
    We have to be sure to treat her courteously.
[13:06] ---
    Well then, Miss, if you'll excuse me....
[13:10] ---
    Uh, sure. Thank you.
[13:17] ---
    She's a good, honest girl.
    Take good care of her.
[13:29] ---
    Ed...
[13:32] ---
    You promised. Tell me everything...
    about Mom and Dad.
[13:48] ---
    I see... they did all they could
    for others, right up to the end.
[13:56] ---
    Still, I do wish they would
    have come back home alive.
[14:04] ---
    All I can do is wait.
[14:23] ---
    Ah, perfect timing. Miss Rockbell,
    there is a telephone call for you.
[14:28] ---
    For me?
[14:32] ---
    Hello?
[14:35] ---
    Mr. Garfiel!
[14:36] ---
    Sorry about this, Winry.
    I tried to get by on my own...
[14:42] ---
    Isn't Winry back yet?
[14:44] ---
    Look at this. Winry's the
    only one who can fix this.
[14:46] ---
    ...but all of your customers are so fussy!
[14:50] ---
    Hurry back home, Winry!
[14:53] ---
    Miss Winry?
[14:55] ---
    Tetsu?
[14:56] ---
    Miss, come back soon.
    My leg comes away in better shape
[15:00] ---
    when you work on it compared
    to when Mr. Garfiel does.
[15:03] ---
    Winry, please hurry up
    and make an outer covering
[15:06] ---
    for that leg you made a model of earlier for me.
[15:08] ---
    --And get to my arm, too.
    --No way, I was first!
[15:11] ---
    I sure miss you!
[15:12] ---
    You dumbass, Winry belongs to all of us!
[15:15] ---
    That's the truth!
[15:17] ---
    Sorry. I'll be right there.
[15:21] ---
    Just wait there. I'll do my best...
    I'll do my best... Thanks...
[15:39] ---
    Thanks for stopping me back there.
[15:43] ---
    I have people who are waiting for me.
[15:47] ---
    I was this close to not being
    able to face them again.
[15:52] ---
    Winry...
[15:55] ---
    Ed, don't forget to take care of your automail.
[15:58] ---
    Right.
[16:00] ---
    I'll send you some good polishing oil soon, Al.
[16:02] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[16:06] ---
    Don't go dying, okay?
[16:08] ---
    --Yeah.
    --Mm-hmm.
[16:11] ---
    The next time...
[16:16] ---
    Eh? What? I can't hear you.
[16:21] ---
    Brother? Wait!
[16:24] ---
    --Bye, Winry!
    --Mm-hmm.
[16:26] ---
    Geez... Hey, Ed!
[16:29] ---
    What did you say?!
[16:35] ---
    The next time I make you cry,
    they'll be tears of joy!
[16:39] ---
    I'll make sure that Al and I
    are both back to normal,
[16:42] ---
    and make you cry with happiness!
    Don't you forget it!
[17:00] ---
    Give me an arm and a leg.
[17:03] ---
    One year!
[17:04] ---
    There's no turning back for us now, huh?
[17:11] ---
    What are you crying for?
[17:32] ---
    So that's it. I've...
[17:36] ---
    ...been falling for him.
[17:46] ---
    --Colonel...
    --Get in.
[17:56] ---
    I've got a badly injured person.
    I need a doctor.
[18:00] ---
    Gone out on another limb, huh? You little punk.
[18:04] ---
    I know you have a family.
    If this is a problem, you can decline.
[18:11] ---
    Wait here. I'll get my instruments.
[18:14] ---
    You're sure?
[18:17] ---
    My wife and I broke up soon
    after I got back from Ishval.
[18:23] ---
    She walked through the
    sewers with her arm cut off?!
[18:27] ---
    Don't blame me if she gets lockjaw.
[18:31] ---
    I haven't dealt with
    anything but corpses lately,
[18:35] ---
    so my touch may be a little rough.
[18:44] ---
    --I'm sorry...
    --Don't misunderstand.
[18:47] ---
    I'm the one who propositioned you.
[18:50] ---
    It was in both our interests, so I
    worked together with you, that's all.
[18:54] ---
    I left the country knowing that if
    I was going to seek immortality,
[18:56] ---
    I would have to be ready
    to make certain sacrifices.
[19:02] ---
    No... I wasn't prepared for this.
[19:08] ---
    Lan Fan was more ready than I was.
[19:18] ---
    Are you all right?
[19:20] ---
    Is there anything we can do?
[19:24] ---
    Your trap wasn't all that bad.
[19:30] ---
    But I'm useless now. I need a replacement arm.
[19:38] ---
    Yeah! I can set you up with
    a great automail mechanic!
[19:49] ---
    State Military Colonel Roy Mustang.
[19:55] ---
    Ling Yao, twelfth son of the Emperor of Xing.
[19:59] ---
    I'm grateful to you for providing a doctor.
[20:01] ---
    Not at all. Thank you for helping
    out with the Maria Ross incident.
[20:05] ---
    As well as this one.
[20:13] ---
    Hey, what is that?
[20:16] ---
    A Homunculus, named "Gluttony."
[20:21] ---
    Apparently, these guys have connections
[20:24] ---
    to a portion of the military senior staff.
[20:26] ---
    Just a portion? Far from it.
[20:30] ---
    There's a possibility that
    King Bradley is a Homunculus, too.
[20:36] ---
    There was an Uroboros tattoo
    on the eye under his patch!
[20:41] ---
    He came after us, together with Gluttony!
[20:44] ---
    It can't be!
[20:45] ---
    The head of our country is a Homunculus?!
[20:48] ---
    Then again...
[20:50] ---
    Bradley doesn't have the same sort
    of inhuman presence as Gluttony.
[20:55] ---
    His is the same presence as a regular person.
[20:57] ---
    But then... For one thing,
    if the Fuhrer is a Homunculus,
[21:01] ---
    how is it that he has a son?
[21:03] ---
    It said in that book that Homunculi
    had no reproductive abilities.
[21:06] ---
    No, his son Selim is adopted.
[21:10] ---
    He is not the Fuhrer's blood offspring.
[21:17] ---
    Whether monster or human, either way,
[21:21] ---
    this makes it easier for me to
    drag the Fuhrer out of his seat.
[21:25] ---
    First, we get some information out of this one.
[21:27] ---
    I'll take his Philosopher's Stone, too.
[21:29] ---
    It may be useful in treating my man.
[21:31] ---
    Hey, now, Lan Fan lost her arm to obtain him.
[21:35] ---
    He's a lead to gaining immortality!
[21:37] ---
    We're taking him back to Xing!
[21:38] ---
    Just a minute!
[21:39] ---
    We've been looking for a way
[21:41] ---
    to get our original bodies
    back for a long time, ourselves!
[21:43] ---
    There's no way I'm letting
    you run away with him!
[21:45] ---
    That's right, Ling! You are an illegal alien!
[21:48] ---
    --Ah, I can't keep up with all of this anymore.
    --Do you think you can move
    around the country with Gluttony
[21:51] ---
    --Mr. Mustang, I'm going back home.
    --without some help from us?
[21:53] ---
    --Lan Fan lost her arm over this!
    --Mustang...
[21:56] ---
    --She almost lost her life!
    --Colonel Mustang... killed Lust...
[21:58] ---
    --I have to get some information
    out of him, whatever it takes.
    --Colonel Mustang... killed Lust...
[22:09] ---
    Roy Mustang!
[22:24] ---
    What?!
[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

[23:11] ---
    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
[23:58] ---
    What lies hidden in the forest
[24:01] ---
    behind the smiles of good will and friendliness?
[24:04] ---
    To find it will take cautious means,
[24:07] ---
    moving forward while groping in the darkness.
[24:11] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,

[24:16] ---
    Episode 24: "Inside the Belly."
[24:20] ---
    Leap forward carelessly,
    and inky darkness awaits you.
