[01:37] ---
    Oh, no, not again. You're an
    important candidate for sacrifice.
[01:44] ---
    We need to have you keep your
    strength up. Right, Doctor Marcoh?
[01:50] ---
    I've been thinking, all this time...
[01:54] ---
    What is a sacrifice?
[01:57] ---
    What is it you're trying to make me do?
[02:05] ---
    What you're doing right now
    is using this land and its people
[02:08] ---
    to create a giant transmutation circle.
[02:12] ---
    The purpose of which is to
    create a Philosopher's Stone.
[02:16] ---
    Am I wrong?
[02:18] ---
    So close. But you're on the right track.
[02:23] ---
    Right track?
[02:24] ---
    So, what are you going to do?
[02:26] ---
    If you don't cooperate, we're
    going to wipe out that village.
[02:32] ---
    I heard from Lust,
[02:34] ---
    that in exchange for us
    leaving the village alone,
[02:37] ---
    you would work with us.
[02:41] ---
    What will it be? Work with us,
    and destroy all of the country's people?
[02:45] ---
    Or don't work with us, and
    wipe out everyone in that village?
[02:53] ---
    You're such a fool.
[02:55] ---
    If you forsake the smaller part,
    the greater will be saved.
[02:58] ---
    If you think about it
    just a little, you'll see that.
[03:01] ---
    But then again, that's
    just the way you humans are.
[03:06] ---
    Your emotions come before logic.
[03:08] ---
    That's the way a man I once killed was.
[03:11] ---
    Once I turned myself into his wife,
[03:13] ---
    he couldn't do anything, and let
    his reverse card slip away from him.
[03:16] ---
    Lucky for us, you humans
    are easy to take advantage of!
[03:32] ---
    You're having quite a bit of
    trouble with the humans, aren't you,
[03:36] ---
    Wrath?
[03:39] ---
    Scar got away from you, and
    they even made off with Gluttony.
[03:43] ---
    It's not like you.
[03:46] ---
    Yes, you're right.
[03:50] ---
    You seem happy.
[03:52] ---
    I won't deny that.
[03:54] ---
    This is sort of... enjoyable.
[03:57] ---
    I've been alive for 60 years,
[04:00] ---
    and now here I am, at
    the top spot of this country.
[04:03] ---
    All just as Father planned.
[04:07] ---
    And yet...?
[04:10] ---
    Colonel Mustang, the Elric brothers,
[04:14] ---
    and those folks from a foreign land...
[04:18] ---
    As crafty as we are, they've
    still got us scrambling around.
[04:24] ---
    The younger generation's time
    might be right around the corner, Pride.
[04:31] ---
    Wrath, you've been in
    contact with humans for too long.
[04:36] ---
    You may be right.
[04:38] ---
    I hope you won't forget
    what sort of beings we are.
[04:44] ---
    I will refrain from informing
    Father of your remarks,
[04:47] ---
    which could be taken as treasonous.
[04:50] ---
    Anyway, about Gluttony...
[04:52] ---
    Not to worry. According to
    the military police's information,
[04:56] ---
    I have a pretty good idea where he is.
[05:03] ---
    What is this?
[05:06] ---
    Colonel! Where are you, Col--
[05:07] ---
    Stop, Lieutenant!
[05:24] ---
    Colonel!
[05:27] ---
    Lieutenant...
[05:29] ---
    Don't provoke him!
[05:31] ---
    He's out to get me!
[05:32] ---
    Mustang!
[05:36] ---
    Lan Fan, we're getting out of here.
[05:38] ---
    What has happened?
[05:41] ---
    That monster was keeping
    another monster inside his belly!
[05:45] ---
    He's swallowing up everything around him!
[05:49] ---
    So alchemy can even produce something like this?
[05:54] ---
    We've got no choice but to bring him down.
[05:56] ---
    But we went through so much
    just to catch this Homunculus!
[05:59] ---
    Our first priority is to survive.
[06:01] ---
    Besides, he knows our names and faces.
[06:05] ---
    There's no reason for us
    to let him leave here alive.
[06:22] ---
    He swallowed...
[06:24] ---
    ...the flame?
[06:27] ---
    You're useless!
[06:29] ---
    Well then, you try doing something!
[06:31] ---
    For that matter, keep away!
    You're the one he's after, Colonel!
[06:36] ---
    Run over that way! Spread out!
[06:55] ---
    Damn, not now...!
[06:58] ---
    Move it, son!
[07:08] ---
    Hurry, we can't stay here for long!
[07:11] ---
    But Ed and the others are still...!
[07:12] ---
    Who cares?!
[07:13] ---
    I'm just a civilian here!
[07:15] ---
    I'm not about to die in the
    middle of this cockamamie battle!
[07:25] ---
    Damn it!
[07:26] ---
    What are they dragging their feet for?!
[07:34] ---
    Roy Mustang!
[07:42] ---
    Damn!
[07:46] ---
    Hmph, he fell for the dummy, huh?
[07:49] ---
    Sounds like he's really ticked off now.
[07:51] ---
    Come on, get going now, you good-for-nothing.
[07:56] ---
    Lieutenant, over here.
    Please take care of Lan Fan.
[07:59] ---
    You're telling me to tuck tail
    and leave, under these circumstances?
[08:02] ---
    You're just going to slow us down!
[08:04] ---
    Leave!
[08:05] ---
    Seriously, you're not being
    of any use here, Colonel.
[08:10] ---
    Honestly, you boneheaded colonel...
[08:12] ---
    Just go do your own job! The head
    of the military being a Homunculus
[08:17] ---
    isn't something you can leave alone, right?!
[08:20] ---
    The head of the military?
    You don't mean, Fuhrer Bradley is...?!
[08:24] ---
    We'll talk about it later. Get in!
[08:29] ---
    The car is full, right? Go on.
[08:32] ---
    You dumb ass!
[08:33] ---
    We can't just go and leave
    you children on the battlefield!
[08:37] ---
    The people you're fighting are
    the military's senior staff, right?
[08:40] ---
    We have to get some
    information out of that Gluttony guy.
[08:45] ---
    We're staying here, and fighting him.
[08:48] ---
    The fact that we're children
    doesn't have anything to do with it.
[08:51] ---
    We were the ones who brought
    up this mission in the first place.
[08:54] ---
    Thanks for all your help up to now.
[08:58] ---
    Edward...
[09:01] ---
    Take this with you.
    You know how to use it, right?
[09:06] ---
    That's something to kill people with.
[09:10] ---
    It's something to protect your lives with.
[09:17] ---
    Your hands are not hands that kill others.
[09:23] ---
    Don't go dying, okay?
[09:28] ---
    I'll keep it with me.
[09:35] ---
    Look after Lan Fan.
[09:37] ---
    Young Lord... Young Lord!
[09:46] ---
    Let's go.
[09:47] ---
    Let's get going!
[09:49] ---
    Damn kids!
[09:51] ---
    This is how you die young!
[10:02] ---
    Mustang... where is Roy Mustang...?!
[10:08] ---
    How dare you kill Lust?! You'll pay for that!
[10:13] ---
    Yeah, we said we'd fight,
    but that thing is seriously freaky.
[10:16] ---
    His personality is different, too.
[10:18] ---
    How are we going to catch him?
[10:22] ---
    What is it?
[10:27] ---
    A dog?
[10:29] ---
    Stop, Gluttony!
[10:32] ---
    I-It spoke?!
[10:34] ---
    Hey, long time no see.
[10:45] ---
    Fullmetal pipsqueak.
[10:54] ---
    Who are you calling a shrimpy,
    flea-sized paramecium?!
[10:59] ---
    Take it easy! I'm just
    here to get Gluttony back.
[11:04] ---
    I have no desire to tangle with any pipsqueaks--
[11:05] ---
    That's the seventh time!
[11:06] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:08] ---
    You've called me a pipsqueak two times just now,
[11:11] ---
    plus five more times under the 5th Laboratory!
[11:14] ---
    You can't tell me you've forgotten it!
[11:16] ---
    What a pinpoint memory you've got there.
[11:19] ---
    Hold it!
[11:21] ---
    You're starting to become difficult.
[11:23] ---
    Mustang was here! Gonna avenge Lust!
[11:26] ---
    Swallow, swallow, swallow him up!
[11:29] ---
    Not the colonel. The Elric brothers, either.
[11:32] ---
    Aww...
[11:34] ---
    I've sensed it before, too.
[11:37] ---
    How many people are inside you, Homunculus?!
[11:42] ---
    You're the kid who
    crossed swords with Wrath, huh?
[11:46] ---
    What do you mean, "kid"?
[11:48] ---
    I am the twelfth son of the
    Emperor of Xing, and my name is--
[11:52] ---
    You can swallow him.
[11:54] ---
    Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
[11:58] ---
    I get it.
[12:00] ---
    It looks like they can't take
    any action against us brothers, huh?
[12:03] ---
    In that case...
[12:07] ---
    Ling, you take care of that one!
[12:10] ---
    Hmph, very well.
[12:12] ---
    Let's have a look, shall we,
[12:14] ---
    at the skills that held their own against Wrath?
[12:18] ---
    Ho, Selim did?
[12:20] ---
    They said it was the best one in the class.
[12:23] ---
    It's a paper about you.
[12:26] ---
    Um, may I read it?
[12:28] ---
    Mind your manners. Not right now.
[12:31] ---
    Oh, where's the harm?
    Go ahead and read it to me.
[12:35] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:37] ---
    "My father is the Fuhrer
    of the nation of Amestris.
[12:42] ---
    He works as hard as he can for this country.
[12:46] ---
    The people of this land are
    always in my father's heart.
[12:52] ---
    He deals with many different problems,
[12:54] ---
    so that everyone can live in peace.
[12:58] ---
    But no matter how busy he gets,
[13:01] ---
    my father has never forgotten his family.
[13:04] ---
    He loves me and my mother.
[13:08] ---
    My father always listens to me when I talk.
[13:13] ---
    He always grants my requests.
[13:16] ---
    That is why I love my father."
[13:21] ---
    Thank you, Selim.
[13:23] ---
    Hmm, not bad at all.
[13:27] ---
    Thanks for your words of praise!
[13:30] ---
    You fell for it.
[13:33] ---
    What do you think? This is a
    trick you humans can't do, huh?
[13:37] ---
    Now then, do you want to be
    strangled to death, or bitten to death?
[13:41] ---
    Or shall I just carve you up?
[13:44] ---
    Well, then...
[14:01] ---
    That was a cheap trick, blinding me like that...
[14:06] ---
    Ever since I was little, I was in
    constant danger of assassination.
[14:10] ---
    I couldn't help but learn a few dirty moves.
[14:14] ---
    How about it? Will you come quietly?
[14:18] ---
    I just want some information
    on gaining immortality.
[14:22] ---
    You don't like getting hurt, right?
[14:23] ---
    You scum! Don't you look
    down on me, you mere human!
[14:27] ---
    Don't you underrate humans, Homunculus!
[14:32] ---
    All right, gotcha!
[14:37] ---
    Geez, that was a close one.
[14:39] ---
    Why, you...!
[14:41] ---
    I'm not allowed to eat you.
[14:43] ---
    I wanted to eat that closed-eyed guy earlier.
[14:46] ---
    Caught you!
[14:52] ---
    Hey, now, stay out of my way--
[15:00] ---
    Only human, all right.
[15:02] ---
    Now, Gluttony!
[15:05] ---
    Ling!
[15:06] ---
    What?!
[15:07] ---
    Damn, I can't let him swallow a sacrifice!
[15:11] ---
    Brother!
[15:37] ---
    Swallowed them.
[15:40] ---
    Brother! Ling!
[15:42] ---
    Hey, spit him out! Spit out Brother!
[15:45] ---
    Can't. I swallowed him.
[15:51] ---
    It can't be... it can't be... Brother...
[16:02] ---
    I have the rooms that the wife and kid used,
[16:06] ---
    but the neighborhood will
    get suspicious if I've got lights on
[16:09] ---
    all over the place. You'll
    have to make do with my bed.
[16:12] ---
    Young Lord... I must go to Young Lord...
[16:14] ---
    Dumb fool! What can you do in your condition?!
[16:35] ---
    He isn't home yet? I see.
[16:38] ---
    Well then, I shall head
    directly to the command center.
[16:40] ---
    Yes, goodbye.
[16:44] ---
    --Let's go.
    --Yes, sir.
[16:46] ---
    Where to?
[16:48] ---
    I'm thinking of taking
    the occasion to make it clear
[16:50] ---
    who is friend and who is foe.
[16:53] ---
    Sheesh, what is it with all of you?
[16:55] ---
    Your wounds aren't even healed yet,
[16:57] ---
    and you're looking to get into trouble again?!
[17:01] ---
    The Fuhrer could be a Homunculus.
[17:04] ---
    I can't just take it easy.
[17:06] ---
    Besides...
[17:09] ---
    We just left the children
    back on the battlefield.
[17:12] ---
    If I don't act now,
[17:14] ---
    I'll be setting a bad example as an adult!
[17:20] ---
    What's so funny?
[17:21] ---
    Nothing. I was just thinking,
[17:22] ---
    if Edward found out that
    you treated him like a child,
[17:25] ---
    he'd probably get angry.
[17:28] ---
    Just repeating what you said.
[17:31] ---
    I have to admit, this is unexpected, Colonel.
[17:34] ---
    You taking such bold action as this...
[17:37] ---
    Like hell it's bold.
    I'm just getting the way paved.
[17:41] ---
    Besides...
[17:43] ---
    Find as many people who understand you
[17:46] ---
    and support you as you can.
[17:49] ---
    Belated though it may be,
    I'm thinking of heeding his warning.
[18:06] ---
    So are these the gates of glory,
    or the entrance to Hell?
[18:10] ---
    Lieutenant, you wait here.
[18:12] ---
    If anything happens to me,
    then at least you'll get out of here.
[18:15] ---
    No, sir.
[18:17] ---
    That's an order.
[18:18] ---
    I cannot obey it.
[18:21] ---
    You sure are stubborn.
[18:22] ---
    As you are well aware, sir.
[18:26] ---
    All right. Wait here.
    I promise, I'm coming back.
[18:30] ---
    Yes, sir. Good hunting!
[18:34] ---
    So you're Roy Mustang, are you?
    I got a call from my wife a while ago.
[18:39] ---
    Lieutenant General Raven, sir,
[18:40] ---
    I've been so busy since I transferred here,
[18:42] ---
    so I apologize for not
    coming to pay my respects earlier,
[18:45] ---
    and only doing so now, so late at night.
[18:47] ---
    No problem. By the way, how
    is that old fox Grumman doing?
[18:53] ---
    The same as always, sir.
[18:55] ---
    Check.
[18:58] ---
    You've got me, sir.
    That's 11 losses in a row for me.
[19:00] ---
    12. Although, you put up
    a pretty good fight this time.
[19:05] ---
    Once you were sure you had won, you blew it.
[19:09] ---
    You're saying I didn't finish strong enough?
[19:11] ---
    Yes. You're unable to
    act ruthlessly, just like Raven.
[19:16] ---
    General Raven? In Central?
[19:19] ---
    He is exceptional, but too sentimental.
[19:22] ---
    He is known to have gone to
    help his wounded men himself,
[19:25] ---
    throwing his line into disarray in the process.
[19:28] ---
    No matter how many pieces
    you've got, it's never enough like that.
[19:31] ---
    W-What an affront! I was
    chosen to transfer to Central
[19:34] ---
    because of the compassion I had for my men!
[19:37] ---
    That border-dwelling old coot
    has no business saying anything!
[19:42] ---
    Oh... pardon me.
[19:44] ---
    Not at all. In fact, General Grumman said
[19:48] ---
    that if the general
    became irritated at that story,
[19:52] ---
    that you were still a just man,
    and would be there if I needed you.
[19:57] ---
    Ah... that old fox got me again, did he?
[20:06] ---
    Oh, it's time for my meeting.
    Let's walk there together.
[20:13] ---
    Have you gotten used to Central yet?
[20:15] ---
    No sir. I make every effort
    to speak with the citizens, but...
[20:20] ---
    You can't undervalue the word on the street.
[20:23] ---
    But most of it is just mindless drivel.
[20:27] ---
    Scar was seen giving food to a cat,
[20:29] ---
    or some people who are
    immortal have appeared,
[20:33] ---
    or that the Fuhrer is a Homunculus...
[20:42] ---
    You've got no sense of humor, do you?
[20:44] ---
    Are you sure you were one of Grumman's men?
[20:47] ---
    I failed to pick up any of that from him, sir.
[20:50] ---
    Well, even that bit of gossip
[20:52] ---
    will give us something to talk about over tea.
[20:54] ---
    Eh? I couldn't possibly attend something like...
[21:09] ---
    Go on, tell us that joke you told earlier.
[21:13] ---
    Something about the Fuhrer
    being a Homunculus. Please continue.
[21:20] ---
    What's the matter, Colonel Mustang?
[21:24] ---
    If I were a Homunculus, then so what?
[21:29] ---
    Is there some problem with that?
[21:36] ---
    Ah, I get it, Hughes.
[21:40] ---
    When you said the military was in trouble,
[21:42] ---
    you didn't mean the danger was closing in on us,
[21:46] ---
    you meant the military itself
    was the source of the trouble.

[21:50] ---
    Fullmetal, it looks
    like this is the pit of Hell.

[22:01] ---
    Where am I?
[22:06] ---
    Blood?!
[22:07] ---
    What is this? What is this place?
[22:11] ---
    Al!
[22:12] ---
    Hey, is anybody there?!
[22:22] ---
    Where is this place?!
[22:27] ---
    Let it all out, Let it all out
