Ed!
**[01:46] ---**
Damn you!
**[01:52] ---**
Ling!
**[01:55] ---**
You bastard!
**[01:58] ---**
Kill... me...
**[02:02] ---**
Help me... Please... kill me... Please...
**[02:14] ---**
--I want to die...
--Mommy...
**[02:16] ---**
--Come over here.
--I don't want to be with you.
**[02:30] ---**
Don't just stand there, you idiot!
**[02:32] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
**[02:35] ---**
There was someone...
**[02:36] ---**
There was someone inside him.
They wanted help.
**[02:41] ---**
No there isn't! It was a monster!
**[02:44] ---**
But...
**[02:46] ---**
Come to your senses! Those are monsters!
**[02:49] ---**
--Kill me!
--How do you like this power?
**[02:51] ---**
Mama!
**[02:52] ---**
Give me back my child!
**[02:54] ---**
Shut up! Stop!
**[02:56] ---**
--Dad!
--How do you like this power?
**[02:58] ---**
--I want to die!
--Help!
**[03:00] ---**
I said stop!
**[03:01] ---**
Big Brother...
**[03:04] ---**
Let's play.
**[03:07] ---**
Let's play.
**[03:13] ---**
I'm done playing around.
**[03:27] ---**
Damn... it...
**[03:37] ---**
--Come over here.
--Help me.
**[03:39] ---**
--You can't fathom our pain.
--Let's die together.
**[03:42] ---**
Ed! Wake up!
**[03:44] ---**
Open your eyes!
**[03:45] ---**
Come over here with us.
**[03:47] ---**
Ed!
**[03:53] ---**
Ed!
**[03:58] ---**
All right, all right! Okay, this way! Okay!
**[04:01] ---**
Ah, this little thing?
**[04:03] ---**
I saw her over by that
run-down factory a little while ago.
**[04:07] ---**
She was with this guy in a
huge suit of armor, walking by.
**[04:10] ---**
Armor? He could be the one from yesterday!
**[04:14] ---**
"Ha ha ha"
**[04:17] ---**
That suit of armor! He won't get away with this!
**[04:19] ---**
How could he kidnap Shao May?!
That ogre! That devil! That loincloth!
**[04:32] ---**
There she is! Shao M--
**[04:33] ---**
Wait.
**[04:37] ---**
The fat one...
**[04:39] ---**
I remember them calling him a Homunculus.
**[04:42] ---**
Homunculus?
**[04:44] ---**
They possess a regenerative
power that makes them near immortal.
**[04:47] ---**
We can't take him on too carelessly.
**[04:49] ---**
Immortal?
**[04:51] ---**
I couldn't ask for anything
more. Let's go after him!
**[04:53] ---**
I told you, he won't be easy to bring down.
**[05:02] ---**
*What are those two doing together?*
**[05:12] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:14] ---**
This place is strange.
**[05:16] ---**
Something has felt out of place
ever since I entered this country,
**[05:20] ---**
but this...
**[05:22] ---**
There are a lot of things
crawling around under our feet.
**[05:38] ---**
What's the matter? Are you cold?
**[05:41] ---**
Are you okay?
**[05:45] ---**
This way.
**[05:59] ---**
To think there's someplace
like this under Central...
**[06:11] ---**
W-What is this?!
**[06:15] ---**
That is the work of the gatekeepers.
**[06:17] ---**
Gatekeepers?
**[06:19] ---**
They won't kill you if you're with me.
**[06:28] ---**
There's something there...
**[06:33] ---**
Is it still farther ahead?
**[06:35] ---**
Still farther ahead.
**[06:37] ---**
You said he's your Father, right?
**[06:39] ---**
He will know where the
people you swallowed went, right?
**[06:42] ---**
Father knows everything.
**[06:47] ---**
*Brother...*
**[06:49] ---**
*You're still alive, right...*
**[06:51] ---**
*Brother?*
**[07:11] ---**
*What's that?*
**[07:14] ---**
*A red... stone...?*
**[07:18] ---**
*That's right. Envy has a
Philosopher's Stone for his core.*
**[07:25] ---**
*After all I've searched,*
**[07:28] ---**
*there's one, right here.*
**[07:43] ---**
Let me out, Envy! It stinks in here!
**[07:47] ---**
We might be able to get out of here!
**[07:51] ---**
Work with me, Envy!
**[08:13] ---**
What on earth are these?
**[08:15] ---**
They're called Chimeras.
**[08:44] ---**
There's no end to them.
**[08:46] ---**
Yuck.
**[08:49] ---**
There really is something underneath us.
**[08:53] ---**
Chimeras?
**[08:55] ---**
No.
**[08:57] ---**
Are these... people?
**[09:01] ---**
Father made all of us. Me, and Lust, and Envy...
**[09:20] ---**
There is a disturbance.
**[09:24] ---**
Somebody is coming.
**[09:33] ---**
I do not remember my
parents' faces, their names--
**[09:36] ---**
I don't even remember my *own* name.
**[09:39] ---**
I don't know if, before I was given this name,
**[09:42] ---**
I was abandoned, or sold...
**[09:46] ---**
Who will be the one to
take charge of this country?
**[09:52] ---**
Will it be you?
**[09:54] ---**
"Prospective Fuhrers."
That's what they called us.
**[09:59] ---**
They gathered us all to one place,
**[10:01] ---**
where we were given
education in various matters.
**[10:04] ---**
From kingcraft and humanics
**[10:07] ---**
to hand-to-hand combat,
marksmanship, and swordsmanship.
**[10:28] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[10:30] ---**
He was just a pawn to
allow you to reach your goal.
**[10:34] ---**
I would be the person
who would run this country.
**[10:38] ---**
That's what I believed,
and endured any training.
**[10:50] ---**
This one was no good, either.
**[10:53] ---**
Next.
**[10:58] ---**
Lie down there.
**[11:04] ---**
Er, what is this?
**[11:07] ---**
Just make yourself
comfortable. It will be over soon.
**[11:13] ---**
What are you planning to do?! Those bodies...!
**[11:20] ---**
You are the twelfth one...
**[11:24] ---**
Will you be the one who accepts my wrath?
**[11:32] ---**
A Philosopher's Stone is a high-energy body
**[11:35] ---**
that includes the souls of many people.
**[11:39] ---**
When placed in a human body,
it is met with rejection,
**[11:42] ---**
as it attempts to take over that body.
**[11:47] ---**
This was repeated until,
**[11:49] ---**
as a result of the destruction
and mending caused by the Stone,
**[11:52] ---**
the original body either died, or
it overcame the Philosopher's Stone.
**[11:58] ---**
Eventually...
**[11:59] ---**
Outstanding!
**[12:01] ---**
It is a new type of man!
**[12:03] ---**
Congratulations!
**[12:05] ---**
You have been chosen as the
leader who will guide this country.
**[12:08] ---**
He will make ready everything that you need.
**[12:12] ---**
As of today, your name will be... King Bradley.
**[12:20] ---**
All that remained was a single soul,
**[12:24] ---**
and the feeling of wrath.
**[12:26] ---**
Was the soul made someone
else's by the Philosopher's Stone,
**[12:30] ---**
or was it the one I originally had?
I no longer know.
**[12:40] ---**
If you were originally human,
**[12:43] ---**
can't you live as a human, and not
as a Homunculus, Your Excellency?
**[12:50] ---**
Go back to being human? Impossible.
**[12:54] ---**
This body transcends a human one.
**[12:58] ---**
It is a far superior form.
**[13:01] ---**
Just as you humans are proud of being human,
**[13:06] ---**
we have our pride as Homunculi.
**[13:10] ---**
That woman...
**[13:12] ---**
died with pride, didn't she?
**[13:17] ---**
Yow!
**[13:18] ---**
A little first aid.
**[13:20] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:23] ---**
I've collected everything there was in the area.
**[13:27] ---**
Is all of this from Xerxes?
**[13:30] ---**
Yeah. It's a part of the mural
from the temple that was in the ruins.
**[13:37] ---**
When I first saw that mural...
**[13:39] ---**
I thought it was the same one I saw
**[13:41] ---**
in the basement of the 5th Laboratory,
**[13:43] ---**
the transmutation circle
used for Philosopher's Stones.
**[13:46] ---**
But it's different.
**[13:47] ---**
The sun represents the soul,
**[13:49] ---**
and the moon represents the mind.
**[13:52] ---**
Then there's the stone depicted on the mural.
**[13:55] ---**
This represents the body.
**[13:56] ---**
Hey, now, keep it simple,
so that I can understand it.
**[14:00] ---**
In other words, what was depicted over there
**[14:04] ---**
was a human transmutation circle.
**[14:06] ---**
Human transmutation?
**[14:08] ---**
You mean, the kind for
bringing people back to life.
**[14:11] ---**
No.
**[14:12] ---**
The basis of alchemy is equivalent exchange.
**[14:15] ---**
You cannot create
something by transmuting a soul
**[14:18] ---**
that does not exist in this world.
**[14:20] ---**
I've made sure of that.
**[14:23] ---**
So, I got this sudden inspiration
as to how to get out of here.
**[14:27] ---**
What if I were to retransmute
myself, a living person?
**[14:32] ---**
Retransmute?
**[14:34] ---**
Yeah. Using this transmutation
circle, I'll decompose myself,
**[14:39] ---**
then reconstruct myself the way I was before.
**[14:41] ---**
That's human transmutation, too.
I'm sure it will open the doorway.
**[14:45] ---**
If Gluttony is a false Doorway of Truth,
**[14:49] ---**
then if we pass through the right doorway,
**[14:50] ---**
I'll bet we come out in the right space.
**[14:56] ---**
I'll open the doorway,
and you two will jump through it.
**[14:59] ---**
What happens if it doesn't work?
**[15:01] ---**
A rebound. The failed technique bounces back
**[15:04] ---**
onto the alchemist that performed it.
**[15:06] ---**
In this case, me.
**[15:09] ---**
I'm a complete outsider
when it comes to alchemy.
**[15:13] ---**
It's up to you.
**[15:14] ---**
All right.
**[15:16] ---**
Oh, Envy, there's something I wanted to ask you.
**[15:23] ---**
The large mural I saw in
Xerxes was more-or-less like this.
**[15:29] ---**
What bothers me is this symbol.
**[15:31] ---**
The writing that represents God is upside-down.
**[15:34] ---**
Then there's the two-headed dragon.
**[15:37] ---**
This indicates a "perfect being."
**[15:41] ---**
In other words, this says
"I will strike God down to earth,
**[15:44] ---**
and become the perfect being."
**[15:47] ---**
Quite a brazen thing to think.
**[15:50] ---**
If all they were doing was
thinking it, that's one thing.
**[15:52] ---**
The problem is...
**[15:54] ---**
this missing part here.
**[15:57] ---**
The image of the lion swallowing the sun.
**[16:00] ---**
That indicates the Philosopher's Stone.
**[16:03] ---**
The ingredients for the
Philosopher's Stone are live humans.
**[16:07] ---**
Isn't that right, Envy?
**[16:08] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[16:11] ---**
How did a country as
prosperous as Xerxes fall overnight?
**[16:16] ---**
Where did its people go?
**[16:18] ---**
The reason part of the ruins are in here
**[16:20] ---**
was to get rid of the evidence, wasn't it?
**[16:25] ---**
You guys...
**[16:26] ---**
turned the population of Xerxes
into a Philosopher's Stone, huh?!
**[16:44] ---**
Who did it?
**[16:46] ---**
Who was the one who transmuted themself?
**[16:48] ---**
Who turned an entire population
into a Philosopher's Stone,
**[16:50] ---**
and after gaining such mighty power,
**[16:53] ---**
tried to become something
even greater than God?
**[16:56] ---**
Is it the "Father" that you speak of?
**[16:58] ---**
He's using you Homunculi to try
to recreate the same destruction
**[17:02] ---**
that befell Xerxes in
this country too, isn't he?
**[17:07] ---**
If we get out of here, I'll tell you.
**[17:12] ---**
Enough beating around
the bush, Fullmetal Alchemist.
**[17:17] ---**
In order to open the doorway,
you require a "toll," right?
**[17:24] ---**
Use this.
**[17:29] ---**
--Help me!
--Kill me!
**[17:30] ---**
--Don't look!
--Give me your body!
**[17:32] ---**
These are all people from Xerxes, aren't they?
**[17:36] ---**
They are beings whose bodies
and minds crumbled away long ago,
**[17:40] ---**
and who now exist only
as energy to be consumed.
**[17:43] ---**
They don't even remember
what their original forms were.
**[17:47] ---**
Pity? What a worthless emotion.
**[17:51] ---**
You just want to believe that they are human,
**[17:53] ---**
because you want to recognize your brother,
**[17:55] ---**
who is in a similar situation, as being human.
**[17:58] ---**
Would you hesitate to feed coal into a fire,
**[18:01] ---**
because you felt sorry for
the tree that perished long ago?
**[18:05] ---**
These people can never go back to being human.
**[18:08] ---**
Use logic, not emotion, to
delineate what a human is, alchemist.
**[18:20] ---**
All right.
**[18:22] ---**
Ling, if anything happens to me,
**[18:25] ---**
tell those on the outside
what this group is scheming.
**[18:29] ---**
Whatever happens to
Amestris is none of my concern.
**[18:33] ---**
Look, you!
**[18:37] ---**
There are people you love
waiting for you in this nation, right?
**[18:39] ---**
Get out of here alive, and tell them yourself.
**[18:49] ---**
I'm sorry. I will use you with care.
**[18:57] ---**
Here goes!
**[19:01] ---**
*That pose when he puts his hands together--*
**[19:03] ---**
*I thought it looked like something familiar.*
**[19:07] ---**
*It's almost as if he's praying to God, isn't it?*
**[19:21] ---**
Long time no see, huh?
**[19:23] ---**
To think that I would be
opening you up again like this...
**[19:26] ---**
Ling! Jump in!
**[19:30] ---**
I'm trusting in you, alchemist!
**[19:36] ---**
*It's just like when I was swallowed by Gluttony!*
**[19:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:51] ---**
Thank you...
**[20:04] ---**
*Body and soul are connected by the mind.*
**[20:09] ---**
*Part of my body is before the Doorway of Truth.*
**[20:14] ---**
*I leave everything to wherever my mind leads,*
**[20:18] ---**
*and go into the doorway!*
**[20:21] ---**
Huh? You're not here to get your body back?
**[20:26] ---**
Your Father is inside here, right?
**[20:29] ---**
Yes, he is.
**[20:31] ---**
*There's a lead to finding Brother in here...*
**[20:49] ---**
All right, I'm here.
**[20:55] ---**
Why... are there two doorways?
**[21:25] ---**
Al!
**[21:28] ---**
Al! Come here!
**[21:30] ---**
Hurry, over here! Al!
**[21:33] ---**
Al!
**[21:35] ---**
I can't.
**[21:37] ---**
You aren't my soul.
**[21:41] ---**
I can't go with you.
**[22:07] ---**
Alphonse!
**[22:10] ---**
Alphonse! Alphonse!
**[22:14] ---**
Someday, I swear, I'll come back for you!
**[22:18] ---**
Just you wait! Just you wait!
**[22:28] ---**
*Let it all out, Let it all out*
