[00:01] ---
    Alchemy is the science of
    understanding, decomposing,
[00:04] ---
    and reconstructing matter.
[00:06] ---
    However, it is not an all-powerful art.
[00:09] ---
    It is impossible to create
    something out of nothing.
[00:12] ---
    If one wishes to obtain something,
[00:14] ---
    something of equal value must be paid.
[00:17] ---
    This equivalent exchange
    is the basis of alchemy.
[00:23] ---
    Alchemists have a taboo,
    and it is human transmutation.
[00:27] ---
    It is that which no one must commit.
[00:30] ---
    I still have too long a life ahead
[00:33] ---
    to get rid of these feelings, right?
[00:37] ---
    I want to try doing over
[00:38] ---
    the things I've left undone
[00:52] ---
    I thought I was running after
    something carried over from my dreams
[00:59] ---
    Yet I'm stumbling into people
    on this narrow, winding road
[01:05] ---
    It's not like I want to go back
    to the way things were back then
[01:08] ---
    I'm just searching for the sky
    I've been losing
[01:11] ---
    Here's hoping you'll understand
[01:13] ---
    Stop making that sad face
    as though you were a victim
[01:18] ---
    Sins don't end with tears,
[01:20] ---
    you have to carry the pain forever
[01:22] ---
    Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions
[01:23] ---
    with no way out in sight?
[01:25] ---
    I want to purge myself more simply,
[01:27] ---
    as if writing in a blank notebook
[01:29] ---
    What is it I want to escape from?
[01:30] ---
    ...is it reality?
[01:32] ---
    It makes me want to scream that we're alive
[01:35] ---
    for things to come true. Can you hear me?
[01:38] ---
    I can't put up with playing it safe
[01:44] ---
    ...I've got nowhere to go home to
[01:45] ---
    I'm always grateful for kindness
[01:49] ---
    That's why I want to grow stronger
    (I'm on the way)
[01:52] ---
    I even welcome this pain
[01:54] ---
    for the things I miss
[02:00] ---
    God's children, who live
    upon this land, pray in faith,
[02:06] ---
    and ye shall be saved.
[02:08] ---
    --The Sun God Leto illuminates thy footsteps.
    --You guys street performers or something?
[02:13] ---
    --Behold, the Lord descends from his throne,
    --Where do you get the
    idea we're street performers?!
[02:16] ---
    --and saves thee from all thy sins.
    --You're not, then?
    --Thanks for lunch.
[02:20] ---
    --I am the Emissary of...
    --Ah! Hey, excuse me, sir!
[02:23] ---
    Sorry, sorry. We'll fix it.
[02:26] ---
    Y-You'll fix it?
[02:28] ---
    Yeah, just watch.
[02:31] ---
    Okay, here goes!
[02:38] ---
    Does that take care of it?
[02:39] ---
    This is a surprise!
    You guys can perform miraculous works?!
[02:44] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[02:45] ---
    We're alchemists.
[02:47] ---
    I've never seen alchemy before.
[02:50] ---
    Ever heard of the Elric brothers?
[02:52] ---
    Elric?
[02:54] ---
    Yeah! I've heard that name.
[02:56] ---
    The Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.
[02:59] ---
    Wow, so you're the gifted
    alchemist we've heard about?
[03:02] ---
    Indeed, with this armor you're wearing,
    your second name would be "Fullmetal," huh?
[03:06] ---
    Um, not me.
[03:11] ---
    Eh? The pipsqueak over there?
[03:14] ---
    Who's a tiny bean sprout?!
[03:20] ---
    --Pray in faith, and thy
    entreaties shall be accorded thee...
    --So, what's with this broadcast?
[03:23] ---
    T-That's Father Cornello.
[03:26] ---
    He appeared in this town several years ago,
[03:28] ---
    and preached to us the ways of God.
[03:31] ---
    He gives immortality to the living,
    and resurrection to the dead.
[03:35] ---
    His miraculous works are proof of it.
[03:39] ---
    "Resurrection to the dead," eh? Sounds fishy.
[03:44] ---
    --Father Cornello!
    --Show us your miraculous works!
[03:57] ---
    Is that it? What do you think?
[04:00] ---
    No two ways about it,
    that metamorphic reaction is alchemy.
[04:04] ---
    But he's ignoring equivalent exchange.
[04:06] ---
    The law is that only one volume of mass
    can come from the same volume of mass.
[04:11] ---
    He's changing vegetable into mineral, too.
[04:14] ---
    Brother, could it be...
[04:16] ---
    Yeah, it could be.
[04:19] ---
    Bingo!
[04:30] ---
    O God, please grant me my wish.
[04:34] ---
    Please bring him...
[04:35] ---
    Huh, so this is Leto, is it?
[04:39] ---
    Are you interested in Letoism?
[04:41] ---
    No, unfortunately, I'm areligious.
[04:45] ---
    Well, that won't do.
    To believe in and worship God,
[04:50] ---
    and live with gratitude and hope...
    It's such a marvelous thing.
[04:54] ---
    If you believe,
[04:56] ---
    I'm sure you will grow taller.
[04:58] ---
    "Sincere"
[04:58] ---
    Hey, what was that for?!
[05:00] ---
    She didn't mean any harm.
[05:00] ---
    "Sincere"
    "Whoa, whoa"
[05:03] ---
    "Resurrection to the dead."
    Do you honestly believe that?
[05:08] ---
    Yes.
[05:13] ---
    Water, 35 liters; carbon, 20 kilograms;
[05:16] ---
    ammonia, 4 liters; lime, 1.5 kilograms;
[05:20] ---
    phosphorus, 800 grams; salt, 250 grams;
[05:23] ---
    saltpeter, 100 grams, and various other stuff.
[05:26] ---
    Huh?
[05:29] ---
    That's the material makeup of a
    human body, calculated for one adult.
[05:33] ---
    With our science now, we know
    that much, but there has never been
[05:37] ---
    one reported case of a successful
    human transmutation actually taking place.
[05:41] ---
    Are you telling me that what can't be done
    by science, can be done through prayer?!
[05:44] ---
    Pray in faith, and thy
    entreaties shall be accorded thee.
[05:49] ---
    Incidentally, if you go to the market,
[05:51] ---
    you can buy all of these components
    with the change a small child might carry.
[05:56] ---
    Humans can be made cheap.
[05:59] ---
    People aren't things!
    Your words are blasphemy against the Creator!
[06:03] ---
    You're going to incur Heaven's wrath.
[06:06] ---
    Alchemists are scientists, you see.
[06:09] ---
    We don't believe in creators, and God, and such.
[06:13] ---
    We lay bare the creative
    principles of this world,
[06:16] ---
    and pursue truth.
[06:18] ---
    It's ironic that we scientists,
    who do not need God,
[06:20] ---
    are in a certain sense the
    closest ones to being gods.
[06:25] ---
    Are you saying you're on the
    same level as God? Such hubris!
[06:30] ---
    Hubris, huh?
[06:32] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    it was in some myth somewhere.
[06:35] ---
    There was a hero, who got too
    close to the sun, and his wings,
[06:39] ---
    made of hardened wax, were torn off,
    and he was thrust down to earth.
[06:42] ---
    Brother...
[06:45] ---
    Miss, do you think that
    Leto will even save a scientist,
[06:49] ---
    such as myself, who thinks what I just said?
[06:52] ---
    Of course. He will accept
    your repentance at any time.
[06:57] ---
    Father, there are some
    people here who wish to see you.
[07:00] ---
    A child, and someone in a suit of armor.
[07:03] ---
    They gave their names as the Elric brothers.
[07:05] ---
    I'm busy. Have them leave-- no, wait.
    Did you say the Elric brothers?
[07:11] ---
    Yes, that's what they called themselves.
[07:14] ---
    This is bad. He's the
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.
[07:19] ---
    The man in the armor?
[07:21] ---
    Yeah, probably.
[07:23] ---
    What would a State Alchemist be doing here?
[07:25] ---
    Don't tell me they know about our plan.
[07:28] ---
    Dog of the Military.
    Looks like your nose is pretty sharp.
[07:33] ---
    This way, please.
[07:35] ---
    The Father is quite busy,
    and cannot make very much time,
[07:39] ---
    but you are in luck.
[07:41] ---
    Sorry. We'll keep this as brief as we can.
[07:45] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[07:46] ---
    Let's bring an end to this quickly.
[07:50] ---
    Assistant Pastor, what are you doing?
[07:53] ---
    Rose, these people are heathens,
    who seek to ensnare the Father.
[07:57] ---
    They are wicked.
[07:59] ---
    Oh, no!
[08:00] ---
    Like you said, let's end this quickly!
[08:12] ---
    Strike!
[08:14] ---
    Such a racket!
[08:18] ---
    Welcome to our sacred order,
    Fullmetal Alchemist.
[08:22] ---
    Father Cornello...
[08:24] ---
    It looks like we had some
    rather disrespectful fellows here.
[08:26] ---
    I apologize for their rudeness.
[08:28] ---
    It's no apology, looking
    down on us from up there.
[08:32] ---
    Have you come to receive our doctrine?
[08:34] ---
    I would like you to
    teach it to me, by all means.
[08:37] ---
    Like how you use cheap
    alchemy to deceive your believers.
[08:41] ---
    Now, what could you mean by that?
[08:43] ---
    I won't have you equating my
    miraculous works with alchemy.
[08:48] ---
    What do you say? Can alchemy bring this about?
[08:52] ---
    That's the thing about it.
[08:54] ---
    How is it that you're able to
    transmute, while ignoring the laws?
[08:58] ---
    Like I said, it isn't alchemy.
[09:01] ---
    That's when I started thinking,
[09:03] ---
    if he were an alchemist, using
    an enchanted amplifier of legend,
[09:07] ---
    said to be able to make the impossible
    possible, then maybe he could do that.
[09:12] ---
    You mean...
[09:13] ---
    Yes, exactly. The Philosopher's Stone.
[09:16] ---
    That's what that ring of yours is, isn't it?
[09:20] ---
    I've been looking for that.
[09:22] ---
    This is just an ordinary ring.
[09:24] ---
    I have been permitted by God
    to perform miraculous works.
[09:28] ---
    Are you still dissembling?
[09:30] ---
    It looks like I'm just going to have
    to grab you, and beat it out of you.
[09:34] ---
    You appear to be quite the incorrigible heathen.
[09:37] ---
    Rose...
[09:38] ---
    Y-Yes?
[09:40] ---
    Pick up that gun lying on the floor there.
[09:42] ---
    Huh? Okay.
[09:47] ---
    Now shoot the Fullmetal Alchemist with it.
[09:51] ---
    No... I can't.
[09:54] ---
    My word is God's word. This is the will of God.
[10:00] ---
    Rose, shoot him.
[10:05] ---
    What's the matter?
[10:06] ---
    When you lost your
    boyfriend in an accident last year,
[10:10] ---
    who was it that saved you
    from the very depths of despair?
[10:16] ---
    You, Father Cornello.
[10:18] ---
    That's right. I saved you.
    And what did I promise you?
[10:24] ---
    That you would bring him back to life!
[10:28] ---
    Er, um, I'm not him!
[10:33] ---
    I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist, dammit!
[10:37] ---
    You mean, you're the one?!
[10:41] ---
    I'm sorry. I have no choice but to do this.
[10:45] ---
    He's a swindler.
[10:47] ---
    You're wrong!
[10:48] ---
    Father Cornello is going to bring
    him back with his miraculous works!
[10:51] ---
    Then shoot.
[10:59] ---
    Al!
[11:04] ---
    That will do. God is pleased.
    Now, shoot the other one, too.
[11:10] ---
    What an awful thing to make your believer do.
[11:13] ---
    What?!
[11:15] ---
    What's going on?
[11:16] ---
    Nothing to it.
[11:18] ---
    This is what's going on.
[11:22] ---
    An empty suit of armor!
[11:24] ---
    This is indeed proof that
    these people are wicked!
[11:28] ---
    They should be purged!
[11:36] ---
    Is this the first time
    you've ever seen a Chimera?
[11:40] ---
    You even made this with
    your Philosopher's Stone?
[11:45] ---
    This could be trouble, taking him on unarmed.
[11:55] ---
    No transmutation circle!
[11:57] ---
    I guess the State Alchemist
    title is not just for show, then.
[12:01] ---
    However...!
[12:07] ---
    Well? How do you like the taste
    of claws that can cut through iron?!
[12:11] ---
    Gotcha!
[12:17] ---
    Unfortunately for you, this was specially-made.
[12:19] ---
    Bite him to death!
[12:25] ---
    What's wrong, pussy? Get a good taste.
[12:34] ---
    Your arm...
[12:36] ---
    a brother who is just armor...
[12:38] ---
    I get it. So that's what's going on.
[12:41] ---
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
    you went and did it, didn't you?
[12:47] ---
    Come on down here, third-string!
[12:49] ---
    Let me show you how outclassed you are!
[12:58] ---
    Come on down here, third-string!
[13:00] ---
    Let me show you how outclassed you are!
[13:02] ---
    Rose, these people
[13:05] ---
    have performed human transmutation,
[13:07] ---
    the greatest taboo for any alchemist!
[13:10] ---
    They tried to bring someone dead back to life.
[13:16] ---
    The hero gets too close to
    the sun, his wings are torn off,
[13:19] ---
    and is thrust back to earth.
[13:22] ---
    Oh, no...
[13:24] ---
    This is what someone who trespasses
[13:26] ---
    in God or whoever's domain looks like.
[13:28] ---
    Rose, are you prepared to become like this?
[13:33] ---
    Edward Elric, to think that you
    became a State Alchemist like that!
[13:37] ---
    It's laughable!
[13:39] ---
    Shut up. You're just a third-rate phony
[13:41] ---
    that can't do anything
    without a Philosopher's Stone.
[13:43] ---
    Father, we want you to hand
    over the Stone before you get hurt.
[13:47] ---
    Ridiculous! You fools, who
    would tread upon God's domain!
[13:52] ---
    This time, I will send you back to God for good!
[14:01] ---
    Nah, God probably hates me, after all.
[14:05] ---
    If I went there, I think he'd just turn me away.
[14:13] ---
    Al!
[14:21] ---
    What are you doing?! After them!
[14:23] ---
    They are heathens who are
    trying to harm the order! Seize them!
[14:30] ---
    Stop!
[14:31] ---
    Hey, boy, what are you
    going to do, empty-handed?
[14:33] ---
    Surrender, before you get hurt.
[14:44] ---
    Don't get careless, just because he's a child!
[14:47] ---
    Coming through!
[14:52] ---
    Do you see now, Rose?
[14:56] ---
    Cornello shot at us, even though you were there.
[14:59] ---
    That was because you were...
[15:04] ---
    Is it true what he said back there?
[15:08] ---
    All we wanted to do was see
    our mom's smiling face again.
[15:14] ---
    But our transmutation failed.
[15:16] ---
    It didn't even have a human form.
[15:21] ---
    We were made to realize our mistake.
[15:25] ---
    People do not come back
    from the dead. Including our mom.
[15:28] ---
    That's not true. I mean...
[15:30] ---
    The basis of alchemy is equivalent exchange.
[15:34] ---
    The price of our human
    transmutation was enormous.
[15:37] ---
    Brother's left leg, and my
    whole body was taken away.
[15:44] ---
    Do you see it?
    Brother drew it with his own blood.
[15:50] ---
    His left leg had been taken away.
    He had to have been in pain.
[15:53] ---
    But Brother transmuted my soul,
    in exchange for his right arm,
[15:57] ---
    and bonded me to this suit of armor.
[16:03] ---
    I want to restore Brother's
    body back to the way it was.
[16:06] ---
    Brother wants to get me back to normal, too.
[16:10] ---
    We might even lose our lives as a result.
[16:15] ---
    That's the karmic nature of the path we chose.
[16:20] ---
    But Father Cornello can--
[16:23] ---
    Rose!
[16:24] ---
    Father Cornello can do it,
    even if you weren't able to.
[16:29] ---
    He can!
[16:34] ---
    Kid...
[16:34] ---
    say your prayers!
[16:35] ---
    Mister, let's speak frankly here.
[16:38] ---
    I just want to know the secrets of that Stone.
[16:42] ---
    Or should I request that
    the military be called in,
[16:45] ---
    to investigate the Stone?
[16:50] ---
    Very well.
[16:52] ---
    What are you trying to do
    with the Philosopher's Stone?
[16:54] ---
    If you have it, you don't need any
    rinky-dink religious order, right?
[16:59] ---
    The order would gladly
    give their lives for my sake
[17:02] ---
    and provides me with more believers!
[17:05] ---
    They will be the ultimate legion,
    not even afraid to die, just you watch!
[17:10] ---
    In just a few more years,
    I'm going to set out to rip this country apart,
[17:15] ---
    using the Philosopher's Stone
    and my idiotic believers!
[17:18] ---
    I'll even share the leftovers with you!
[17:25] ---
    What's so funny?
[17:26] ---
    Like I said, you're third-string.
[17:36] ---
    Y-You don't mean...!
[17:39] ---
    There are no miraculous works.
[17:42] ---
    It was all done with the
    power of the Philosopher's Stone.
[17:45] ---
    Why, you...!
[17:47] ---
    When... when did you flip that switch?!
[17:50] ---
    Right at the start.
[17:51] ---
    It's all out of the bag now.
[17:53] ---
    How could you do that?!
[17:55] ---
    You little brat!
[17:58] ---
    Too slow!
[18:01] ---
    Like I said, you're outclassed.
[18:06] ---
    I am without rival!
[18:17] ---
    I-It's a rebound!
[18:19] ---
    I-I'm not giving up yet!
[18:22] ---
    I am... I am...
[18:26] ---
    ...the Emissary of God!
[18:48] ---
    My word is the word of God!
    My fist is the fist of God!
[18:54] ---
    Fist of God my foot!
[18:59] ---
    If you want it that much, you can have it!
[19:19] ---
    Shut up!
[19:21] ---
    Let me see the Philosopher's Stone!
[19:28] ---
    It broke. How can that be?
[19:32] ---
    How does a Philosopher's Stone,
[19:33] ---
    which is supposed to be
    a perfect material, break?
[19:36] ---
    I-I don't know.
    I don't know anything about this!
[19:38] ---
    S-Spare me! Please! I was wrong!
[19:42] ---
    It's a fake?
[19:44] ---
    I can't do anything without the Stone. Spare me!
[19:48] ---
    We've come this far,
    thinking we could finally get back...
[19:52] ---
    and it's a fake.
[19:55] ---
    U-Uh, what about me?
[19:58] ---
    Go on, go wherever the hell you like!
[20:01] ---
    Right!
[20:05] ---
    What about the Philosopher's Stone?
[20:07] ---
    It was just a big knock-off.
[20:09] ---
    Oh.
[20:12] ---
    I thought we were finally going
    to get you your body back, too.
[20:16] ---
    Give me the Philosopher's Stone!
[20:19] ---
    Rose...
[20:21] ---
    Like I said, it was just a big knock-off.
[20:24] ---
    What's more, it broke all on its own.
[20:26] ---
    Liar! You want to keep it
    all for yourself, don't you?!
[20:30] ---
    For your bodies-- yeah,
    and to use on your mother one more time.
[20:35] ---
    Shut up!
[20:37] ---
    Dead people do not come back to life! Ever!
[20:43] ---
    Ever!
[20:47] ---
    He said he would come back.
[20:49] ---
    He said if I prayed, it would come true.
[20:52] ---
    That a miracle would happen.
[20:55] ---
    What am I supposed to
    live my life clinging to now?!
[21:00] ---
    Tell me!
[21:03] ---
    Huh?!
[21:06] ---
    You have to figure that out for yourself.
[21:10] ---
    Stand up and walk. Move forward.
[21:15] ---
    You've got two fine legs there, don't you?
[21:19] ---
    You don't need to cling to anything.
[21:28] ---
    --What's going on here?
    --Send out the Father!
[21:31] ---
    --Have you been deceiving us?!
    --Open up!
[21:37] ---
    That kid has destroyed my ambitions...
[21:40] ---
    Indeed, it's all ruined.
[21:42] ---
    We should have just incited a little rebellion.
[21:45] ---
    You...!
[21:47] ---
    Say, Lust, can I eat this old man?
[21:50] ---
    No, Gluttony. If you eat him,
    it will upset your stomach.
[21:55] ---
    Everyone is treating me like a fool!
[22:04] ---
    We're done with you.
[22:11] ---
    And here things were getting heated up.
[22:14] ---
    Now we'll have to start over
    from the beginning again.
[22:16] ---
    Father is going to be angry with us.
[22:19] ---
    Now then, I wonder what
    means we should take next.
[22:27] ---
    Do you remember the ruby sky
[22:33] ---
    we saw that day?
[22:38] ---
    The two of us drew close,
    encircled by promises, vows
[22:44] ---
    and an early summer's breeze
[22:52] ---
    I hide the shadow
[22:57] ---
    that stretches out behind my forced smile
[23:03] ---
    So pretending not to notice, I choose rebirth
[23:14] ---
    I kept waiting for settling news on the table,
[23:25] ---
    knowing all about the empty night,
[23:30] ---
    and the morning that would not come
[23:34] ---
    Someday, you will remember the ruby sky
[23:40] ---
    we saw that day
[23:45] ---
    Embracing the promise we couldn't keep,
[23:51] ---
    the two of us start walking
[23:59] ---
    In order to report on the incidents in Liore,
[24:02] ---
    Ed and Al visit East City,
    where the Eastern Command Center is.
[24:07] ---
    There they meet the
    Sewing Life Alchemist, Shou Tucker,
[24:10] ---
    and his daughter, Nina.
[24:14] ---
    Next time on Hagane no
    Renkinjutsushi: Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:18] ---
    Episode 4: "An Alchemist's Anguish."
[24:22] ---
    Would their meeting
    mark the start of their pain?
