[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?
