[01:35] ---
    So you ended up becoming a soldier after all.
[01:38] ---
    Sure enough, you're not ready
    for "flame alchemy" yet.
[01:43] ---
    Still, sir?
[01:46] ---
    Up to now, you have only taught
    me the fundamentals of alchemy.
[01:51] ---
    Of course. It's a waste to
    even teach the fundamentals
[01:55] ---
    to someone who lowers himself
    to becoming a Dog of the Military.
[02:01] ---
    Is not alchemy for the people?
[02:06] ---
    Master, now that the country
    is threatened from all sides,
[02:11] ---
    there is a pressing need
    to strengthen the military.
[02:13] ---
    Alchemy in defense of the people is--
[02:16] ---
    I'm tired of hearing that excuse!
[02:25] ---
    I find it difficult to abide this.
[02:27] ---
    Master, how can someone as great
    as you suffocate in such poverty?
[02:32] ---
    Please, get your state certification.
[02:34] ---
    Once you do, you could
    further your research, and--
[02:36] ---
    I completed my research long, long ago.
[02:40] ---
    What?
[02:42] ---
    The greatest, most powerful alchemy.
[02:45] ---
    Depending on how it is used,
    it could bring about disaster.
[02:49] ---
    I have perfected it, and now, I am content.
[02:57] ---
    As long as an alchemist lives,
[03:00] ---
    he is a creature that must pursue the truth.
[03:04] ---
    Once an alchemist stops thinking, he dies.
[03:08] ---
    I died a long time ago--
[03:13] ---
    Master!
[03:17] ---
    Master! Master Hawkeye!
[03:19] ---
    Look after... my daughter...
[03:23] ---
    My daughter... has all of... my research...
[03:38] ---
    Thank you for everything
    that you've done for him.
[03:42] ---
    Don't worry about it. As his pupil,
    it was a matter of course.
[03:47] ---
    If anything comes up, feel free
    to call on me in the military.
[03:54] ---
    Are you going to scorn me
    for becoming a soldier, too?
[03:58] ---
    Sure, someday, I might die like
    trash by the side of the road.
[04:02] ---
    Even so, if I can be one of
    this country's building blocks,
[04:06] ---
    and defend the people with
    these hands, I believe I'll be happy.
[04:11] ---
    Man, what a naive dream of mine I've revealed.
[04:16] ---
    Not at all. I think it's a wonderful dream.
[04:21] ---
    Is it okay for me to believe in a
    future where we will live happily?
[04:27] ---
    Should I let you carry out my father's dreams?
[04:43] ---
    Hayate, bad!
[04:46] ---
    Sorry about that.
[04:48] ---
    Nah, it happens a lot.
[04:51] ---
    I heard you'd been assigned to the Fuhrer.
[04:55] ---
    Yes.
[05:00] ---
    Looks like you had a pretty hard time of it.
[05:02] ---
    I didn't shoot anyone.
[05:05] ---
    I didn't have to shoot them.
[05:10] ---
    Or rather, I couldn't shoot them.
[05:15] ---
    I'm hopeless, huh?
[05:17] ---
    I've got no resolve, so I'm always
    putting everyone else out.
[05:21] ---
    Did something happen?
[05:24] ---
    It turns out Scar is the one
    who killed Winry's parents.
[05:31] ---
    At that moment, deep down
    in my heart, I felt it was wrong.
[05:36] ---
    Suddenly, the gun looked like something scary.
[05:39] ---
    Before I knew it...
[05:43] ---
    I think she hated Scar
    enough to want to kill him.
[05:48] ---
    Afterward, she bawled like
    I've never seen her cry before.
[05:53] ---
    I really am hopeless.
    I didn't understand her one bit.
[05:59] ---
    It's because you came back alive
    that you're worried about this.
[06:03] ---
    But then, you have to go on living.
[06:06] ---
    For the sake of those important to you, as well.
[06:09] ---
    Protect her.
[06:11] ---
    You love Winry, don't you?
[06:17] ---
    N-No, s-she's just a childhood friend!
    S-She's like family!
[06:23] ---
    I-It's only natural that I'd protect her!
[06:26] ---
    I apologize.
[06:28] ---
    This turned out to be a heavy burden for you.
[06:36] ---
    Lieutenant, have you ever
    thought of it as a heavy burden?
[06:41] ---
    I don't have the right to
    call it light or heavy anymore.
[06:47] ---
    I've taken the lives of many people in the past.
[06:51] ---
    Also, I'm the one who chose
    to go down this path.
[06:57] ---
    Ishval?
[07:01] ---
    Is it okay if I ask you about Ishval?
[07:09] ---
    Tell me what you people did in Ishval.
[07:16] ---
    Ishval is a harsh land, full of rocks and sand.
[07:21] ---
    The land being what it is, it's no
    surprise that such a strong people,
[07:24] ---
    and a religion with such strict
    tenets, would be born there.
[07:29] ---
    However,
[07:30] ---
    a number of people were discontent
    over their annexation by Amestris.
[07:37] ---
    As a result...
[07:43] ---
    With that one bullet fired,
    their discontent became anger,
[07:47] ---
    and spread throughout all of Ishval.
[07:54] ---
    In time, the uprising became a civil war,
[07:56] ---
    and it went on for seven long years.
[08:02] ---
    And then, a one-page document
    determined everything.
[08:07] ---
    Fuhrer's Order #3066.
[08:10] ---
    The piece of paper that declared the start
[08:13] ---
    of the Ishvalan War of Extermination.
[08:32] ---
    It truly was hell.
[08:35] ---
    The air was filled with the smells
    of decay and gunpowder,
[08:39] ---
    and the sand was heavily soaked
    with the blood that had been shed.
[08:48] ---
    Ordinary soldiers would
    fire rounds indiscriminately,
[08:51] ---
    and one of them might happen
    to take the life of someone.
[08:55] ---
    But for snipers, it was different.
[08:57] ---
    When we pulled the trigger,
    someone was sure to die.
[09:01] ---
    The only ones for whom the link
    between cause and effect was so evident
[09:05] ---
    were snipers...
[09:08] ---
    ...and State Alchemists.
[09:13] ---
    My name is the Iron Blood Alchemist,
    Basque Grand!
[09:18] ---
    Iron and blood!
[09:20] ---
    In other words, weapon and soldier!
[09:22] ---
    If I do not take the lead
    in battle, who else will?!
[10:05] ---
    Why, those Ishvalan punks!
[10:08] ---
    How dare they?! Damn them!
[10:14] ---
    Roy! Roy Mustang!
[10:20] ---
    You're here too, are you?
    Long time no see. But then,
[10:25] ---
    you've got a different look about you.
[10:30] ---
    I could say the same for you.
[10:33] ---
    You've got the eyes of a killer.
[10:35] ---
    Yeah.
[10:38] ---
    Back at the military academy,
[10:40] ---
    we all talked about the
    future of this country, huh?
[10:44] ---
    Yeah. And what a beautiful future it would be.
[10:48] ---
    Captain, you have a letter.
[10:50] ---
    Oh, thanks!
[10:54] ---
    W-What?
[10:56] ---
    It's my beautiful future! Her name is Gracia.
[11:00] ---
    She's waiting in Central for me to come home.
[11:04] ---
    All by herself, all this time...
[11:06] ---
    Ah, what if another man puts the moves on her?
[11:10] ---
    Nah, Gracia wouldn't leave
    aside a fine man like me
[11:13] ---
    to have an affair with someone else.
    No, but then again...
[11:16] ---
    Hughes, a little word of warning.
[11:20] ---
    This often happens in movies and novels.
[11:23] ---
    A guy on the battlefield who
    brings up stories of his woman...
[11:25] ---
    ...immediately dies.
[11:27] ---
    Look, you...
[11:33] ---
    Now I can live until tomorrow.
[11:37] ---
    This letter is enough to let
    me dream about tomorrow.
[11:42] ---
    Here on this battlefield, where we
    don't know when things will end...
[11:46] ---
    It's true, I see no way out of this war.
[11:49] ---
    No matter how much military force
    the country throws this way,
[11:52] ---
    the desert just sucks it up like water.
[11:56] ---
    After trying so hard to
    gain control, what's left?
[12:00] ---
    All in all, it's just the sand, right?
[12:02] ---
    Yeah. This is more than comprehensive enough
[12:05] ---
    for bringing an uprising under control.
[12:12] ---
    Long time no see, Major Mustang.
[12:15] ---
    Do you remember me?
[12:18] ---
    How can this be?
[12:20] ---
    She has developed the eyes of a killer, too.
[12:34] ---
    Please tell me something, Major.
[12:37] ---
    Why are soldiers killing citizens,
    when they should be protecting them?
[12:42] ---
    Why is alchemy, meant to
    bring about good fortune,
[12:45] ---
    being used to kill people?
[12:49] ---
    Because that is the job of a State Alchemist.
[12:53] ---
    Why are soldiers killing citizens
    when they should be protecting them?
[12:57] ---
    Because that is the duty placed upon soldiers.
[13:01] ---
    Am I wrong?
[13:03] ---
    Are you saying we should accept
    this devastation as part of the job?
[13:07] ---
    Well, now, let's say...
[13:10] ---
    Miss, you seem reluctant to be here.
    That's the face you're making.
[13:16] ---
    Can you tell me for certain
    that when you defeat an enemy,
[13:20] ---
    there isn't the slightest moment
    where you say, "I got him! Great!"
[13:23] ---
    take pride in your own skills,
    and feel a sense of accomplishment?
[13:27] ---
    Miss Sniper?
[13:29] ---
    Don't say another word!
[13:32] ---
    For my part, I can't understand you people.
[13:36] ---
    The battlefield is, after all,
    a place where you kill the enemy.
[13:41] ---
    Did you put on your uniforms
    without being ready for that?
[13:46] ---
    Don't avert your eyes from death. Look forward.
[13:49] ---
    Look directly at the people you are killing.
[13:54] ---
    And then don't forget them.
[13:56] ---
    The enemy isn't going to forget you, either.
[14:02] ---
    Whoops, it's time.
[14:05] ---
    I have to get to work.
[14:08] ---
    I have to go, too. See ya, Roy.
[14:11] ---
    Hughes, why do you fight?
[14:17] ---
    It's simple. I don't want to die.
    That's all there is to it.
[14:22] ---
    The reasons are always something simple.
[14:32] ---
    Well then, what is the reason for this war?
[14:37] ---
    Reason?
[14:38] ---
    There is one. A terrible reason.
[15:16] ---
    Are you saying you used our blood
    to make a Philosopher's Stone?!
[15:20] ---
    What became of the Stone?!
[15:22] ---
    Major Solf J. Kimblee,
[15:26] ---
    the Crimson Alchemist, had it.
[15:29] ---
    The man with long, black hair
    tied back, and cold eyes?
[15:36] ---
    Brother...
[15:39] ---
    And then?
[15:40] ---
    T-The tide of the battle
    turned over that single Stone.
[15:47] ---
    Ah, I love that sound.
[15:51] ---
    It resonates deep within my body.
    I truly love that sound.
[15:55] ---
    It makes my spinal cord dance with sorrow,
[15:57] ---
    and my eardrums quiver with glee.
[16:00] ---
    It is a joy I can feel here in this land,
[16:03] ---
    always side-by-side with death.
[16:08] ---
    What fulfilling work this is!
[16:18] ---
    I love this sound! How wonderful
    the Philosopher's Stone!
[16:28] ---
    It was only a matter of time
    before they were exterminated.
[16:33] ---
    It was then that the High Priest
    of Ishvala, Logue Lowe,
[16:38] ---
    stood before the Fuhrer
    on behalf of his brethren.
[16:43] ---
    Ho... you want me to accept your life,
[16:46] ---
    to spare the remaining tens
    of thousands of Ishvalans?
[16:50] ---
    Indeed. I am--
[16:52] ---
    Don't flatter yourself.
[16:54] ---
    Are you saying that your life
    and the lives of the remaining
[16:57] ---
    tens of thousands are of equal value?
[17:01] ---
    Let's not get carried away, human.
[17:04] ---
    A single person's life is
    only worth that one person,
[17:07] ---
    nothing more, and nothing less.
[17:10] ---
    I will not accept this exchange,
    nor will I stop the extermination.
[17:13] ---
    --Why, you...! You're inhuman!
    --You will suffer the hammer of God!
[17:17] ---
    God? This is intriguing.
    Even under these circumstances,
[17:21] ---
    the hammer of God has
    not befallen me yet, has it?
[17:25] ---
    How many more-- how many thousands
    more Ishvalans must I kill before it falls?
[17:30] ---
    Why, you!
[17:32] ---
    God is, after all, nothing more
    than something created by people,
[17:36] ---
    by human hands.
[17:39] ---
    If you wish to lower the hammer on me,
[17:42] ---
    then don't rely on God,
    do it for yourself, human!
[17:52] ---
    In time, the war was over,
[17:56] ---
    and we ended up returning to our homes.
[18:00] ---
    Ultimately, we foot soldiers
    were as good as garbage, huh?
[18:04] ---
    Yeah. The power of one person
    does not amount to much.
[18:09] ---
    As such, I will do all I can,
[18:13] ---
    however little that may be,
[18:15] ---
    to protect those who are dear to me.
[18:17] ---
    Those below me will protect those below them.
[18:21] ---
    We tiny humans should be able
    to do that much, at least.
[18:44] ---
    After all you went through in Ishval,
[18:46] ---
    you still ended up choosing this path, huh?
[18:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:51] ---
    If the ways of this world are
    based on equivalent exchange,
[18:56] ---
    as alchemy says, then in order
    to allow for a new generation
[18:58] ---
    to enjoy good fortune,
    then the price that we must pay
[19:02] ---
    is to carry the bodies of the
    dead across a river of blood.
[19:08] ---
    I'm going to appoint you to be my assistant.
[19:12] ---
    I would like to have you watch my back.
[19:17] ---
    You understand, don't you,
    that by leaving my back to you,
[19:20] ---
    you can shoot me from behind at any time?
[19:23] ---
    If I ever step off the path, shoot me.
[19:28] ---
    You are entitled to do so.
[19:30] ---
    Will you follow me?
[19:33] ---
    As you wish, sir.
[19:35] ---
    Into hell, if you so desire.
[19:43] ---
    But even if the colonel becomes top soldier,
[19:45] ---
    it won't change the fact that this
    country is a military state, will it?
[19:49] ---
    Yeah, well, you have to take the Assembly,
[19:51] ---
    which is now more or less
    a puppet of the military,
[19:54] ---
    and move it back to a democratic
    system, like it should be.
[19:58] ---
    Until you wring out the corruption
    from the military-state era,
[20:01] ---
    the country can't be renewed.
[20:03] ---
    Corruption?
[20:05] ---
    For example, the war criminals of
    the Ishvalan War of Extermination
[20:09] ---
    could be brought to trial.
[20:13] ---
    Yes. The hero of the civil war
[20:16] ---
    would just be a mass murderer
    in a peaceful world.
[20:19] ---
    And the colonel is aiming
    for the top, knowing all this?
[20:22] ---
    That's a path to suicide, isn't it?
[20:26] ---
    The Homunculi were the ones pulling the strings
[20:28] ---
    behind the scenes during the civil war.
[20:30] ---
    Even if the Homunculi were the cause of it,
[20:33] ---
    we're the ones who carried it out.
[20:37] ---
    You must not turn away from death.
[20:40] ---
    You must not forget the people
    you've killed. The reason being...
[20:44] ---
    ...they certainly won't
    forget us for killing them.
[20:49] ---
    But...
[20:52] ---
    Before you start worrying about us,
[20:54] ---
    you have something else to do, right?
[20:56] ---
    You and Alphonse have to get
    back to your original bodies.
[21:01] ---
    There must be many people who
    are waiting for that day to come.
[21:07] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:08] ---
    Al and I will get our bodies
    back together for sure.
[21:14] ---
    Dr. Knocs, sorry to have intruded.
[21:16] ---
    Um... Mr. Armor?
[21:20] ---
    Thank you for all the help you've been.
[21:24] ---
    My name isn't Armor, it's Alphonse Elric.
[21:27] ---
    Elric?!
[21:29] ---
    You remember Edward Elric, right?
    The little alchemist?
[21:33] ---
    I'm his younger brother.
[21:36] ---
    It's a long story, but my body
    was taken away from me.
[21:38] ---
    "Him"
[21:39] ---
    If you're his brother,
    then I'll bet you're just like him.
[21:43] ---
    That's pretty rude! Obviously,
    I'm far taller than Brother is!
[21:48] ---
    My face isn't harsh like his,
    and I'm a better fighter than him.
[21:52] ---
    But I'm not short-tempered. I'm a gentleman.
[21:56] ---
    Oh, Alphonse!
[22:00] ---
    I sure do hope you get your body back soon.
[22:03] ---
    Mm-hmm, right.
