[00:08] ---
I can't keep focused, my body's still wavering
[00:12] ---
Trembling like I am, my control is shaky
[00:16] ---
Both the sun and my luck
have turned the other way,
[00:20] ---
but I whispered "I've gotta do it,"
to convince myself
[00:26] ---
The situation is bad, but I've
got no guts if I just run away
[00:30] ---
Nothing to look forward to, but I
gotta have the grit to get past this
[00:34] ---
Gotta control my impulses and
judge the distance to the target
[00:37] ---
What I need is the pride to win
[00:40] ---
Will I taste sweet victory, or bitter defeat?
[00:47] ---
Yeah, it's all one or the other
[00:51] ---
Wish I could control the threads of fate
[00:56] ---
Take this perfect golden time tightly in hand
[01:00] ---
I'll go at this with the best
poker face I can muster
[01:04] ---
Dragged into a world of illusion
[01:12] ---
Slipping out of a boundless pressure game,
[01:16] ---
what does it take to leap
across the glorious borderline?
[01:20] ---
How much will it cost me?
[01:24] ---
What is it I don't want to let go of?
[01:41] ---
Hey, where the hell are we going?
[01:43] ---
Get in.
[02:03] ---
Is this...?
[02:06] ---
The command center. What's going on here?
[02:10] ---
Hey!
[02:12] ---
You guys are filthy.
[02:16] ---
To think that the Homunculus stronghold
[02:18] ---
was deep beneath the command center.
[02:21] ---
Does that mean it's not just the Fuhrer,
[02:23] ---
but the military itself that has ties to them?
[02:28] ---
But then, it isn't all bad news.
[02:35] ---
Really?! My body is really in there?!
[02:37] ---
Yeah. It told me, "you aren't
my soul, so I can't go with you."
[02:43] ---
You don't say. So I do have a body.
[02:46] ---
All right... All right...!
[02:48] ---
All right.
[02:51] ---
That means we're yet another
step closer to our goal!
[02:57] ---
Hey, what is that
black-and-white cat doing here?
[03:00] ---
Oh, her? Actually, inside here, I've got...
[03:03] ---
What?! The beansprout girl?!
[03:06] ---
Brother, your voice is too loud!
[03:08] ---
And for that matter, hurry up
and put on some shorts!
[03:11] ---
What are you doing in here?! Hurry it up!
[03:25] ---
Sheesh, what did you bring her along for?
[03:28] ---
I didn't have any choice, did I? She's wounded!
[03:31] ---
Hey!
[03:32] ---
Wrath will take it from here. In here.
[03:36] ---
Wrath?
[03:45] ---
Wrath? The Fuhrer, King Bradley?!
[03:52] ---
Colonel!
[03:54] ---
What happened?
[03:55] ---
A lot has happened.
Sergeant Fuery was sent south,
[03:59] ---
Warrant Officer Falman north,
and Lieutenant Breda to the west.
[04:04] ---
Lieutenant Hawkeye is now
the Fuhrer's personal assistant.
[04:07] ---
Wha--
[04:10] ---
What is this? They're as good as hostages!
[04:16] ---
Have a seat.
[04:21] ---
Right now, it's just us
and the Fuhrer in this room.
[04:25] ---
He only has one sword for a weapon.
[04:28] ---
Even so, he's confident that he could beat us.
[04:35] ---
"Cough"
[04:38] ---
Fuhrer, sir,
[04:40] ---
earlier, when I was in the hospital,
you came to visit me.
[04:44] ---
You had us completely fooled.
[04:47] ---
Don't go sticking your noses in.
Treat the whole military as the enemy.
[04:51] ---
That's what I ordered you to do.
[04:54] ---
You are important human resources for us.
[04:58] ---
You don't need to know any more than that.
[05:01] ---
If you just behave yourselves
until the time comes,
[05:04] ---
no harm will come to you.
[05:06] ---
When the time comes, what happens
to all of the other people,
[05:11] ---
the ones you haven't called "sacrifices"?
[05:13] ---
I told you, you don't need to know
anything more, Fullmetal Alchemist.
[05:20] ---
Fullmetal Alchemist, huh?
[05:23] ---
I chose the path of becoming
a Dog of the Military
[05:25] ---
to get my original body back. However,
[05:29] ---
the whole State Alchemist system itself
[05:31] ---
is probably just something
to select sacrifices with.
[05:34] ---
If you're going to be using me
for something even worse...
[05:40] ---
...then I quit as a State Alchemist.
[05:44] ---
Your token as a dog is covered with blood.
[05:48] ---
I will upset your schemes,
no matter what they are.
[05:53] ---
I will spread the word to the
other alchemists, and then...
[05:56] ---
What was that girl's name again?
[05:59] ---
Ah yes, Winry Rockbell.
[06:03] ---
Born in Resembool. A childhood friend of yours,
[06:07] ---
and like family to you.
A skilled automail engineer.
[06:12] ---
She currently works in Rush Valley,
[06:14] ---
where she is well-favored by both
her customers and companions.
[06:16] ---
A nice, unassuming girl.
[06:20] ---
You keep away from her!
And everyone else around her!
[06:24] ---
So, what will it be?
[06:28] ---
If you don't want it, I will cut her down.
[06:40] ---
Very well.
[06:42] ---
Um...
[06:43] ---
We're all in understanding.
[06:46] ---
So, in exchange for us acting as
we always have under your watch,
[06:50] ---
please allow us to continue our journey--
[06:51] ---
our journey to get our original bodies back.
[06:54] ---
If you please.
[06:57] ---
Makes no difference to me,
[06:58] ---
as long as you don't do anything uncalled-for.
[07:01] ---
What will you do, Colonel Mustang?
[07:03] ---
You're not going to tell me you're
quitting the military, are you?
[07:06] ---
Well, let's see. I may be a kept dog now,
[07:09] ---
but I couldn't bear to become a beaten dog.
[07:13] ---
Moreover, right now, I still have my ambitions,
[07:15] ---
so I can't take off this
uniform, or get rid of this.
[07:21] ---
Very well. You are all dismissed.
[07:27] ---
May I ask you one question, Your Excellency?
[07:30] ---
What is it, Colonel?
[07:32] ---
Are you the one who killed Hughes?
[07:36] ---
No, I'm not the one.
[07:39] ---
Then, who was it?
[07:40] ---
I agreed to one question.
[07:45] ---
If you'll excuse me.
[07:48] ---
Ah, just a moment, Alphonse.
[08:00] ---
Um, was there something...?
[08:03] ---
No, you are dismissed.
[08:12] ---
That was close!
[08:13] ---
A sword just went over my head...!
[08:16] ---
Oh yeah, Colonel...
[08:18] ---
Give me whatever small
change you've got on you.
[08:20] ---
What's this, all of a sudden?
[08:23] ---
Just give it to me!
[08:24] ---
Not very much, huh?
[08:26] ---
What are you, a shakedown artist?
[08:28] ---
Well, whatever. Bye!
[08:30] ---
Hey!
[08:31] ---
Sorry, Colonel, we'll report back later.
[08:35] ---
What the hell?
[08:37] ---
Oh, no, the lieutenant!
[08:46] ---
Lieuten--
[08:49] ---
What is the matter, Colonel? You look pale.
[08:54] ---
Do you know of any man who looks rosy
[08:56] ---
when he goes to a meeting
spot where a woman is waiting
[08:58] ---
and finds a muscle-bound
mustache-head instead?
[09:00] ---
--Colonel...
--Lieutenant...
[09:03] ---
Are you all right? Ah, excuse me.
[09:06] ---
Lieutenant Hawkeye, reporting
back after using the restroom.
[09:10] ---
I availed myself of
Major Armstrong's generosity,
[09:12] ---
and allowed him to relieve me for a short while.
[09:14] ---
Thank you very much, Major.
[09:17] ---
Not at all.
[09:19] ---
You didn't run away?
[09:20] ---
Who was it that said not to give up,
no matter what happened?
[09:26] ---
Don't go telling me later that you'd
wished you'd run away, Lieutenant.
[09:31] ---
It's too late to tell me now.
[09:36] ---
Yes, hello? Ed?
[09:39] ---
What are you calling for out of the blue?
[09:41] ---
You break your automail again?
[09:43] ---
No!
[09:44] ---
Are you okay? You doing all right?
[09:47] ---
Nothing out of the ordinary?
[09:48] ---
You aren't being followed by
anyone suspicious, or anything?
[09:52] ---
--Ed...
--What?
[09:54] ---
You're creeping me out.
[09:57] ---
What do you mean by that?!
[09:58] ---
I mean, Ed, you barely ever call as it is,
[10:02] ---
and what's worse, you're worrying over me?
[10:05] ---
Ew, what's going on?
Is it going to start snowing next?
[10:08] ---
Look, you! Do you have any idea how--
[10:10] ---
Thanks.
[10:12] ---
I'm glad you called. Thanks.
[10:16] ---
S-Sure. You're sure you're all right, then?
[10:21] ---
Yeah. Bye.
[10:26] ---
She's safe, for the time being.
[10:27] ---
It's that kind of desperation that
they're going to take advantage of.
[10:32] ---
--Ling!
--I told you, it's Greed.
[10:36] ---
What do you want?!
[10:39] ---
Your pal asked me for something.
[10:41] ---
Ling did?!
[10:43] ---
It's in Xingese. What does it say?
[10:46] ---
Dunno. Can't read it.
[10:48] ---
He said to give it to the girl waiting for him.
[10:51] ---
Lan Fan--
[10:52] ---
You're not going to follow after us
[10:54] ---
and kill the girl, are you?
[10:56] ---
As if I'd do anything so petty.
[10:58] ---
Besides, I have no interest in fighting girls.
[11:02] ---
I live by the creed of never
telling a lie. Well, if you would...
[11:09] ---
Hey, Ling!
[11:11] ---
It's Greed.
[11:28] ---
Who is he?
[11:31] ---
And why would he need to start a
civil war, and ravage the country?
[11:38] ---
Who's there?
[11:42] ---
Is there somebody there?
[11:48] ---
Are you injured? Why don't you come on down?
[11:52] ---
I'd like to know what's
happening on the outside.
[11:55] ---
It's all right. The guard
won't be around for a while.
[11:58] ---
Besides, I'm a doctor.
I can take a look at your wound.
[12:07] ---
You're Ishvalan, are you?
That scar on your forehead--
[12:11] ---
Don't tell me you're Scar!
[12:13] ---
Who are you? What are you doing here?
[12:24] ---
Oh, God!
[12:27] ---
I am...
[12:28] ---
I am an alchemist that took part
in the extermination of Ishval.
[12:37] ---
It's all right. She's in no mortal danger.
[12:40] ---
Once she gets a little rest, she should recover.
[12:43] ---
That's good.
[12:44] ---
The hell it is!
[12:46] ---
You keep bringing patients here without asking!
[12:48] ---
They're occupying my bed and sofa,
[12:50] ---
so where am I supposed
to sleep from now on?! Eh?!
[12:53] ---
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[12:55] ---
--Now I've got two young girls
--Alphonse...
[12:56] ---
--in my house!
--Lan Fan! No!
[12:58] ---
You should still be in bed.
[13:00] ---
The Young Lord...
[13:02] ---
The Young Lord isn't with you?
[13:04] ---
I-It's okay, he's alive.
I brought a message from him.
[13:17] ---
Lan Fan?
[13:20] ---
It says...
[13:22] ---
It says he has obtained a Philosopher's Stone.
[13:25] ---
Now, our clan will be...
[13:27] ---
Yes, I have to return to my land,
and let everyone know about this!
[13:33] ---
Where is he? Where is the Young Lord?
[13:37] ---
What is it? Why won't you tell me?
[13:40] ---
Don't tell me something has
happened to the Young Lord.
[13:42] ---
Answer me, Alphonse! Where is the Young Lord?
[13:50] ---
How are you feeling, Greed?
[13:53] ---
You're Wrath, are you? I feel fine.
[13:56] ---
Did you hear? This body
belongs to a Xingese prince.
[14:00] ---
He voluntarily accepted me,
[14:03] ---
because he wanted the power
to become the emperor.
[14:06] ---
Fascinating little chump.
[14:08] ---
That prince once asked me
what it was to be a true king.
[14:14] ---
He said that a king was to be for the people,
[14:16] ---
and that he could not be, without his people.
[14:20] ---
The fool. He lacks desire,
and has lost everything, hasn't he?
[14:25] ---
Shut up!
[14:27] ---
Don't go looking down on humans.
[14:31] ---
There you have it.
[14:32] ---
He's just watching closely for
any opportunity to take over.
[14:38] ---
So he's even willing to take in
a monster like you, is he?
[14:42] ---
How great the avarice of humans.
[14:50] ---
The Fuhrer is a Homunculus?!
[14:55] ---
I only...
[14:56] ---
...ever wanted to fight for the
weaker citizens of this country.
[15:02] ---
Many others think so,
believe in the military, and enlist.
[15:07] ---
And yet, the military is...
[15:11] ---
Why don't you quit the military?
[15:13] ---
With your character, it would
be hard on you to stay in.
[15:20] ---
This war is wrong, sir!
[15:24] ---
Are you going to disobey an order?! Very well!
[15:27] ---
Call in a replacement State Alchemist!
[15:32] ---
In Ishval, I fled from the fighting.
[15:36] ---
I knew that the way the
military operated was in error,
[15:40] ---
and I should have fought against that error.
[15:47] ---
From then until now,
[15:48] ---
not a day has gone by that I
haven't felt ashamed of myself
[15:51] ---
for not sticking to my
convictions, and running away.
[15:54] ---
If the military is once again the battlefield,
[15:58] ---
how can I tuck my tail and run away?
[16:04] ---
Colonel, what are you going to do now?
[16:07] ---
I told the Fuhrer that I still had my ambitions,
[16:10] ---
and that I would not give up.
[16:13] ---
Since the Fuhrer has made it clear
to me that he is a Homunculus,
[16:18] ---
it implies that even if I were to topple him,
there is still someone behind him.
[16:23] ---
I'm being tested.
[16:25] ---
It's an honor, isn't it?
[16:27] ---
You're surprisingly relaxed, sir.
[16:29] ---
I don't know.
[16:31] ---
It's just that, as it was when I was
fighting that Homunculus Lust,
[16:36] ---
after having been called a weapon, or a monster,
[16:38] ---
it's only when I'm fighting real monsters
[16:42] ---
that I truly feel that I'm just a human.
[16:47] ---
I see.
[16:49] ---
The Young Lord voluntarily
accepted the Philosopher's Stone.
[16:53] ---
Sorry. If we had stopped him...
[16:57] ---
There's no need to apologize.
[16:59] ---
I'm just mad at myself,
[17:01] ---
because I was unable to
fulfill my role as bodyguard.
[17:04] ---
The Young Lord is...
[17:06] ---
The Young Lord is still inside
of this Greed person, right?
[17:13] ---
Alphonse, I want an arm. Right now.
[17:17] ---
Right now? But...
[17:19] ---
Show me to an automail engineer. Please.
[17:29] ---
All right. I'll refer you as soon as I can.
[17:32] ---
But before I do, you have
to get back your strength.
[17:35] ---
I'll get you something to eat from Dr. Knocs--
[17:38] ---
Should you be out of bed yet?
Um, May Chang, isn't it?
[17:43] ---
May?
[17:49] ---
What?
[17:50] ---
Hmph, that's a Yao family watchdog for you!
[17:53] ---
And you! You're the Chang heiress!
[17:56] ---
--Indeed I am. The 17th princess, May Chang.
--Er, um...
[18:00] ---
If you're here in this country,
you must be after immortality.
[18:05] ---
You're the last ones I'm going to let have it!
[18:08] ---
You're never even going to find it!
[18:12] ---
Just a minute, here! I don't know
what's going on, but stop fighting!
[18:16] ---
--Don't butt into our national affairs!
--Please don't butt into our national affairs!
[18:20] ---
Don't underestimate me
just because I'm injured!
[18:22] ---
I would say the exact same thing to you!
[18:26] ---
Hey, what are you doing?!
[18:32] ---
You're my patients!
Now go lie quietly in your beds!
[18:34] ---
Do not butt into our national--
[18:36] ---
I don't care about your
national affairs, dumb ass!
[18:40] ---
Sheesh, patients are the same in every country!
[18:46] ---
Are you planning to mess up
my house any further?
[18:49] ---
Ho, there could be an unknown
pathogen in this doctor's house
[18:53] ---
that could get out, and kill everyone in it.
[19:00] ---
It really is a mess in here.
[19:03] ---
I wonder if he has anyone who straightens up.
[19:08] ---
Doctor, here.
[19:11] ---
Ah, so that's where that was.
[19:16] ---
Whoa! That's a family photo, isn't it?
[19:19] ---
It's my estranged wife and son.
[19:21] ---
What? It's up to me what I do
with my own stuff, right?
[19:31] ---
Once you've straightened up,
go get some coffee or something.
[19:36] ---
Thanks so much for coming.
[19:39] ---
After all, the way things were,
I didn't know what I was going to do.
[19:48] ---
Huh? I just realized, I'm able to use alchemy.
[19:57] ---
Ah, good work. That takes
care of all of the repairs.
[20:02] ---
Just what you'd expect from a State Alchemist.
[20:04] ---
You're a cut above the other
alchemists around here.
[20:07] ---
As it happens, this morning,
there were some local alchemists
[20:10] ---
who were helping us out
with the recovery efforts,
[20:12] ---
but they ended up being useless!
[20:15] ---
They strolled on in here,
all full of confidence,
[20:17] ---
but when the time came, they said
their alchemy wasn't working.
[20:21] ---
This morning? When we were down underground?
[20:25] ---
Mr. Alchemist!
[20:27] ---
Thank you!
[20:31] ---
Thank you.
[20:38] ---
Can I really believe what Envy told me?
[20:42] ---
About them only being energy forms,
without body or mind?
[20:48] ---
Snap out of it! Think about what lies ahead!
[20:53] ---
Earlier, it wasn't just Al and I.
[20:56] ---
Other alchemists couldn't
use their alchemy, either.
[21:00] ---
But that beansprout girl and
Scar were able to use theirs.
[21:05] ---
What does that mean?
[21:10] ---
Their alchemy is different from ours.
[21:13] ---
If I get the secret of it out of them,
[21:15] ---
then maybe we won't even
need a Philosopher's Stone
[21:18] ---
to get Al's body back, and go up
against that bearded bastard.
[21:28] ---
I have to give this back to the lieutenant.
[21:33] ---
However much we may wander,
I want to meet up here again
[21:38] ---
Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[21:45] ---
We talked until the sun came up
[21:48] ---
and held hands until the sun went down again
[21:51] ---
Let's keep walking together like this tomorrow,
and the day after, in light and shadow
[21:56] ---
I wonder now, what world were you in,
[22:01] ---
and what were you holding in your heart?
[22:06] ---
In this city of lonely gazes
[22:11] ---
where I couldn't find any warmth alone,
[22:17] ---
I first found out that love
[22:22] ---
could provide such strength when I met you
[22:28] ---
However much we may wander,
I want to meet up here again
[22:33] ---
Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[22:38] ---
I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
[22:44] ---
Let's keep lighting up the starless nights
[22:49] ---
going someplace where no fear can reach us
[22:54] ---
I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
[23:00] ---
Let's go someplace where no fear can reach us
[23:05] ---
If the dream I've laid out cannot come true alone,
[23:08] ---
They made me work together with them.
[23:10] ---
then you and I will go together,
and make it happen
[23:11] ---
I made Philosopher's Stones, and
deprived many Ishvalans of their lives.
[23:16] ---
I'll split this happiness with you
[23:17] ---
And now, they're about to make me
work with them in experiments
