[00:04] ---
    Vengeance...
[00:06] ---
    Damn it!
[00:07] ---
    It's Scar! He knows about Marcoh's involvement
[00:10] ---
    in the War of Extermination, does he?
[00:22] ---
    I can't keep focused, my body's still wavering
[00:27] ---
    Trembling like I am, my control is shaky
[00:30] ---
    Both the sun and my luck
    have turned the other way,

[00:34] ---
    but I whispered "I've gotta do it,"
    to convince myself

[00:40] ---
    The situation is bad, but I've
    got no guts if I just run away

[00:44] ---
    Nothing to look forward to, but I
    gotta have the grit to get past this

[00:48] ---
    Gotta control my impulses and
    judge the distance to the target

[00:52] ---
    What I need is the pride to win
[00:54] ---
    Will I taste sweet victory, or bitter defeat?
[01:02] ---
    Yeah, it's all one or the other
[01:05] ---
    Wish I could control the threads of fate
[01:11] ---
    Take this perfect golden time tightly in hand
[01:14] ---
    I'll go at this with the best
    poker face I can muster

[01:18] ---
    Dragged into a world of illusion,
[01:26] ---
    slipping out of a boundless pressure game,
[01:30] ---
    what does it take to leap
    across the glorious borderline?

[01:34] ---
    How much will it cost me?
[01:39] ---
    What is it I don't want to let go of?
[01:46] ---
    If I get any new information, I'll let you know.
[01:50] ---
    Being the Fuhrer's assistant
    is like being a hostage, right?
[01:54] ---
    Will you be okay?
[01:55] ---
    If you think about it positively,
[01:57] ---
    it also means that given a chance,
    I can kill the Fuhrer as he sleeps.
[02:01] ---
    You scare me.
[02:03] ---
    Oh, right. Give the colonel a message.
[02:07] ---
    Tell him Scar is still on the prowl.
[02:10] ---
    You got it.
[02:15] ---
    Lieutenant...
[02:16] ---
    What?
[02:18] ---
    Thanks for telling me about Ishval.
[02:29] ---
    Al!
[02:32] ---
    Brother! What is it?
[02:37] ---
    So, that's what happened in Ishval, huh?
[02:41] ---
    She told everything about it, to a kid like me.
[02:46] ---
    "Alchemists are seekers after truth."
[02:49] ---
    But I didn't even know about
    something so near at hand.
[02:53] ---
    The colonel is thinking about what
    happens after he attains his goal.
[02:58] ---
    After he attains his goal, huh?
[03:02] ---
    Al, after you get your original body back,
    what do you want to do?
[03:07] ---
    Let's see... First, I guess I want
    to eat some of Winry's apple pie.
[03:15] ---
    What about you, Brother?
[03:18] ---
    I've had my hands full just trying
    to get our original bodies back, so...
[03:25] ---
    First thing I might do is go around
    and pay some courtesy calls
[03:28] ---
    to Granny and Teacher,
    and tell them, "we're back!"
[03:31] ---
    Yeah, after all they've done to help us.
[03:37] ---
    They'll all be smiling when they greet us.
[03:40] ---
    --Yeah.
    --We'll get to see everyone smile, right?
[03:44] ---
    Yeah.
[03:47] ---
    The situation is pretty rough right now,
[03:49] ---
    but somehow, I'm starting to cheer up.
[03:51] ---
    There are some cheerful stories to be had, too.
[03:54] ---
    Back there, our alchemy didn't work.
[03:59] ---
    At the same time, they apparently
    couldn't use it above ground, either.
[04:04] ---
    Then, that girl and Scar...
[04:07] ---
    Yeah. They're the only ones who could use it.
[04:10] ---
    There's something about those two's alchemy.
[04:15] ---
    Something we don't know about.
[04:17] ---
    Yeah. We're not at a dead end yet.
[04:22] ---
    She left?
[04:24] ---
    The little beansprout girl?
[04:26] ---
    Yeah, early this morning.
[04:28] ---
    So, where did she say she was going?
[04:30] ---
    She didn't.
[04:34] ---
    We'll look for her!
[04:35] ---
    Throughout Central? Without any clues?
[04:41] ---
    But we do have a clue!
[04:49] ---
    --What's this?
    --With my compliments.
[04:52] ---
    Have you got any, you know, magazines,
[04:54] ---
    with lots of girls in them?
[04:59] ---
    Don't go slacking off while we're gone.
[05:02] ---
    You're leaving already?
[05:04] ---
    Yeah. Gonna get me some
    of that famous western food.
[05:09] ---
    Make sure to hold the fort down here.
[05:12] ---
    Yeah. See you later.
[05:17] ---
    You eat well, and grow up big and strong, now.
[05:22] ---
    Keep everyone safe while we're gone.
[05:25] ---
    Sergeant Fuery...
[05:27] ---
    Yo.
[05:28] ---
    Warrant Officer Falman, haven't you left yet?
[05:33] ---
    I came to return something
    I borrowed from the colonel.
[05:37] ---
    Aw... Sure was a short posting in Central.
[05:42] ---
    Sergeant, you're in the South Command Center?
[05:45] ---
    Yes, sir. Completely opposite from you.
[05:48] ---
    I'll bet the Northern Command Center is cold.
[05:52] ---
    Well, see you later, Sergeant Fuery.
[05:55] ---
    Yes, sir. Let's meet up again sometime.
[06:03] ---
    Excuse me, Colonel.
[06:05] ---
    Lieutenant.
[06:07] ---
    I came to get something I left here.
[06:09] ---
    Oh.
[06:13] ---
    I hear that Scar is still on the prowl.
[06:16] ---
    I'll have to watch out for him.
[06:20] ---
    I'm losing my skilled bodyguard, and all.
[06:25] ---
    Please don't go dying, sir.
[06:29] ---
    Yeah.
[06:33] ---
    It must make you anxious, huh?
[06:35] ---
    I may have picked the wrong person to side with.
[06:39] ---
    If you think I'm wrong, shoot me dead.
[06:42] ---
    That's the promise you made that day.
[06:43] ---
    You're still within my threshold of tolerance.
[06:46] ---
    Lieutenant, you're so nice to me.
[06:50] ---
    Well, Colonel, see you later.
[06:53] ---
    Mm-hmm. Later.
[06:57] ---
    Please don't let your work slide.
[07:01] ---
    Yeah.
[07:14] ---
    My pawn...
[07:16] ---
    Oh, you might say it sprang from my hobby.
[07:19] ---
    ...my bishop...
[07:21] ---
    Yes, sir! It is an honor!
[07:24] ---
    ...my rook...
[07:26] ---
    --Hello, sir.
    --...my knight...
[07:28] ---
    I'm not all that bright, so I struggled
    through the military academy.
[07:33] ---
    ...and...
[07:35] ---
    Into hell, if you so desire.
[07:38] ---
    ...my queen have been taken.
[07:45] ---
    But I still haven't been checkmated...
[07:52] ---
    ...just yet.
[07:54] ---
    Here, this cat! I'm looking for
    the little girl who is with her!
[07:59] ---
    --So, do any of you recognize her?
    --I'm sorry. Please ignore
    that alien over there.
[08:01] ---
    --If you do, tell me.
    --I'm sorry. Please ignore
    that alien over there.
[08:07] ---
    No word on that black-and-white cat.
[08:10] ---
    Maybe they're not in Central anymore.
[08:15] ---
    Fullmetal...
[08:17] ---
    Colonel!
[08:21] ---
    I see... Xingese Alkahestry, huh?
[08:25] ---
    All right. I'll ask around about this.
[08:29] ---
    I really do hate to run into your debt, Colonel.
[08:33] ---
    Oh, yeah. Speaking of debts,
    give me back my money.
[08:37] ---
    Watch where you're going!
[08:42] ---
    You remember about that, huh?
[08:44] ---
    How much was it, again? 500 cens?
[08:47] ---
    520 cens! Don't try wrangling me!
[08:50] ---
    What?! How nitpicky! It's not that big a deal!
[08:55] ---
    Sorry about this.
[09:02] ---
    Actually, I’m going to keep borrowing this.
[09:04] ---
    I'll give it back to you, Colonel,
    when you become Fuhrer.
[09:08] ---
    Who told you?
[09:11] ---
    Lieutenant Hawkeye.
    She told me about Ishval, too.
[09:23] ---
    Fullmetal...
[09:26] ---
    You keep that borrowed money.
    I’ll make sure you return it to me.
[09:31] ---
    Then, once I do, I'll borrow
    some more of your spare change.
[09:35] ---
    I'll say, "I'll pay it back once
    the country is a democracy."
[09:38] ---
    Then, once I return that, I'll borrow some more,
[09:40] ---
    and make you promise something else.
[09:43] ---
    In other words,
[09:44] ---
    you're telling me that I'm going
    to have to live a long time, huh?
[09:46] ---
    That's right. Don't you go
    worrying the lieutenant, either.
[09:51] ---
    Thanks for dropping us off.
[09:58] ---
    Yeah. See you later.
[10:07] ---
    You're late.
[10:10] ---
    I got tired of waiting for you.
[10:17] ---
    Yo.
[10:19] ---
    Oh, Roy! Long time!
[10:23] ---
    You're looking well, Vanessa.
[10:26] ---
    It's been a long time, Roy.
[10:29] ---
    Good evening, Madam Christmas.
[10:32] ---
    How have you been?
[10:34] ---
    Oh, absolutely terrible.
    I'm here to lift my mood.
[10:38] ---
    Want something to drink?
[10:40] ---
    I'm recuperating, so I can't have any alcohol.
[10:45] ---
    Fix me up something special, Madam.
[10:50] ---
    You got it.
[10:55] ---
    General Grumman, sir...
[10:56] ---
    You have a call from a
    Madam Christmas, in Central.
[10:59] ---
    Ho?
[11:01] ---
    Please, don't go giving out our
    secret line to the general public.
[11:06] ---
    Not half bad, huh?
[11:10] ---
    The old man is being called upon.
[11:20] ---
    You lose your arm, you were
    unable to protect the young lord...
[11:25] ---
    ...and now look at you...
[11:31] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[11:33] ---
    And you call yourself one of
    the chosen from the Yao clan?!
[11:35] ---
    --You should be ashamed!
    --Stop that, old timer! She's injured!
[11:39] ---
    Stop it, I said!
[11:43] ---
    It's gone...?
[11:48] ---
    Your arm... is gone...?
[11:51] ---
    I'm sorry, Grandfather...
[11:55] ---
    I'm sorry...
[11:59] ---
    You fool...
[12:03] ---
    You fool!
[12:11] ---
    I have to keep my promise to Lan Fan,
[12:13] ---
    to set her up with an automail mechanic.
[12:16] ---
    You can't.
[12:18] ---
    We accept your kind intentions,
    but we need no more of your help.
[12:23] ---
    We will find an automail
    mechanic on our own somehow.
[12:26] ---
    But we can't just leave you like this.
[12:29] ---
    Now that the enemy has seen Lan Fan's face,
[12:32] ---
    we cannot allow your friend
    to be caught in the middle.
[12:39] ---
    All right. Thanks.
[12:44] ---
    It is thanks to you that my
    granddaughter is still alive.
[12:48] ---
    --I am grateful.
    --Wha...?
[12:50] ---
    I'm not the sort of doctor that gets thank-yous!
[12:55] ---
    Dr. Knocs, thank you very much.
[12:59] ---
    J-Just get out of here!
[13:02] ---
    I'm not such a softy that I'm about
    to let you outstay your welcome!
[13:14] ---
    His Majesty's condition appears to be worsening.
[13:18] ---
    We must quickly recover the young lord,
[13:20] ---
    and return to our country with
    the means of attaining immortality.
[13:24] ---
    Let's go.
[13:25] ---
    Right.
[13:34] ---
    Just you wait, denizens of the
    underworld! We will be back!
[14:05] ---
    I will never forget my debt
    to you for helping me.
[14:10] ---
    Dr. Knocs, thank you very much.
[14:15] ---
    Me, playing at being a doctor now? Me?
[14:24] ---
    Yeah! Who is it?
[14:29] ---
    Good evening, Dad. It's been a long time.
[14:32] ---
    How are you doing, dear?
[14:35] ---
    Fine.
[14:36] ---
    We had an errand that
    brought us to the area, so...
[14:41] ---
    You've grown up.
[14:43] ---
    You've lost some weight, haven't you?
[14:46] ---
    As have you.
[14:47] ---
    Is work keeping you busy?
[14:50] ---
    Yeah. Dealing with corpses, same as always.
[14:54] ---
    No, actually, I treated two
    live patients, just this week.
[14:59] ---
    It's funny, thinking of me, saving lives.
[15:04] ---
    Dad, I want to become a doctor.
[15:09] ---
    I know that you've been tormented,
    ever since you got back from Ishval.
[15:13] ---
    Even so, Dad, you never gave up being a doctor.
[15:18] ---
    I love you, Dad, for being a doctor.
[15:23] ---
    You jackass...
[15:26] ---
    Come on in. It may not taste
    very good, but have some coffee.
[15:36] ---
    Wow, what a mess!
[15:39] ---
    Come on, let's straighten up while
    your father is making the coffee.
[15:45] ---
    God, if you're out there, then let this slide.
[15:51] ---
    It's okay for someone like me
    to want the happiness
[15:55] ---
    of enjoying some coffee with his family, right?
[16:09] ---
    Now, Ishval is completely
    under armed forces jurisdiction.
[16:13] ---
    Well done, Major Kimblee.
[16:16] ---
    So, how did the Philosopher's Stone work?
[16:19] ---
    It was fantastic. By ignoring
    equivalent exchange,
[16:22] ---
    I was able to perform greater
    transmutations than I'd imagined.
[16:25] ---
    Very good. Write up the details
    in a report, and submit it to us.
[16:29] ---
    We will be taking the Stone back.
[16:34] ---
    What are you doing, Kimblee?!
[16:35] ---
    Now then, you are the only ones
[16:38] ---
    who know the whereabouts of
    the Philosopher's Stone, right?
[16:41] ---
    Why, you...!
[16:48] ---
    --What was that?!
    --What happened?!
    --What's going on?!
[17:03] ---
    Whoa...
[17:07] ---
    Come on out, Kimblee. You're being released.
[17:13] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[17:16] ---
    Don't ask me any questions.
[17:18] ---
    Is this an order from above?
[17:21] ---
    Shut up.
[17:22] ---
    How is it that you kill five officers,
[17:24] ---
    and don't get sentenced to death?
    What kind of strings did you pull?
[17:28] ---
    None at all. Maybe it's my natural virtue.
[17:32] ---
    Don't make me laugh, you mad bomber!
[17:34] ---
    What are the higher-ups thinking,
    letting a maniac like you go free?
[17:47] ---
    Mr. Jailer, thank you for taking
    care of me for this long while.
[17:53] ---
    Don't ever come back here.
[18:00] ---
    Just by way of thanks.
[18:03] ---
    This isn't... Hold on a second!
[18:06] ---
    Don't do this!
[18:08] ---
    Get this off of me, Kimblee!
[18:17] ---
    It's only a harmless toy. Please,
    give it to your child, or something.
[18:23] ---
    Well, farewell.
[18:31] ---
    Now then...
[18:38] ---
    Long time no see, Kimblee.
[18:44] ---
    Congratulations on your release.
[18:46] ---
    It was an order from you guys?
[18:49] ---
    Yep. We're shorthanded, you see.
[18:52] ---
    You mean, you have a job for me?
[18:57] ---
    Do you remember Doctor Marcoh?
[18:59] ---
    The researcher who created
    the Philosopher's Stone?
[19:02] ---
    I remember him well.
[19:04] ---
    Marcoh has run away from us... maybe...
[19:08] ---
    Maybe?
[19:10] ---
    We're still not entirely sure.
[19:12] ---
    One of the Chimeras that we had
    posted as a watchdog is gone.
[19:17] ---
    Marcoh is an alchemist who
    excelled in living transmutations.
[19:20] ---
    It may have taken his place.
[19:23] ---
    And to complicate things,
[19:25] ---
    there's a possibility that he's fled
    with an Ishvalan named Scar.
[19:31] ---
    What do you say, as the
    Crimson Alchemist who was ordered
[19:35] ---
    to carry out the extermination of Ishval?
[19:37] ---
    Indeed. If he is an Ishvalan
    that I should have bested,
[19:42] ---
    then this is inexcusable.
[19:46] ---
    When you find Scar, you are free to kill him.
[19:48] ---
    But bring Marcoh back to us.
[19:51] ---
    That is the only reason why you got me out?
[19:55] ---
    Once you nab Marcoh, wipe a town
    off the map, to serve as a warning.
[20:01] ---
    It's a great job, right?
[20:04] ---
    You fight dirty, don't you?
[20:10] ---
    It's been a long time since
    I've been able to use this.
[20:12] ---
    That might not be enough
    to wipe out a whole town.
[20:18] ---
    What's this? Did you use more of the Ishvalans?
[20:22] ---
    That was the men who were
    doing research on the Stone
[20:25] ---
    under Doctor Marcoh.
[20:28] ---
    You really do fight dirty.
[20:36] ---
    Why did you get me out? I...
[20:40] ---
    I still have some questions to ask you.
[20:44] ---
    About the alchemist named Kimblee.
[20:47] ---
    Also, there are parts of the
    research notes my brother left me
[20:51] ---
    that I cannot understand.
[20:53] ---
    Research notes?
[20:55] ---
    Before my brother died, he said,
    "this country's alchemy is strange."
[21:00] ---
    He must have written about that in his notes.
[21:03] ---
    You are a shrewd alchemist.
    You can make sense of it, right?
[21:08] ---
    This country's alchemy... is strange?
[21:12] ---
    Sir...
[21:14] ---
    The girl has returned to us.
[21:17] ---
    Mr. Scar, you're all right?
[21:20] ---
    Huh? Do we have another colleague?
[21:23] ---
    He's not our colleague. His name is Marcoh.
[21:26] ---
    He's the man who created
    the Philosopher's Stone
[21:28] ---
    and took part in the extermination of Ishval.
[21:30] ---
    The Philosopher's Stone?
[21:32] ---
    Immortality!
[21:34] ---
    Mr. Marcoh, you know how to
    create a Philosopher's Stone?!
[21:37] ---
    How is it done? Please tell me!
[21:40] ---
    No, it's...
[21:42] ---
    Stop!
[21:44] ---
    Do not seek after that!
[22:00] ---
    I have only destroyed the surface of your face.
[22:03] ---
    Stop his bleeding, would you?
[22:06] ---
    Right.
[22:08] ---
    It will be easier for us if your face is ruined,
[22:09] ---
    --so that people will not know who you are.
    --Are you all right, Mr. Marcoh?
[22:12] ---
    We're leaving.
[22:14] ---
    Eh? Where to?
[22:16] ---
    To the place where I hid the research notes
[22:18] ---
    that I inherited from my brother.
[22:22] ---
    To the north.
[22:32] ---
    However much we may wander,
    I want to meet up here again

[22:38] ---
    Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[22:44] ---
    We talked until the sun came up
[22:47] ---
    and held hands until the sun went down again
[22:50] ---
    Let's keep walking together like this tomorrow,
    and the day after, in light and shadow

[22:55] ---
    In this city of lonely gazes
[23:00] ---
    where I couldn't find any warmth alone,
[23:05] ---
    I first found out that love
[23:11] ---
    could provide such strength when I met you
[23:16] ---
    However much we may wander,
    I want to meet up here again

[23:22] ---
    Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[23:27] ---
    I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
[23:32] ---
    Let's keep lighting up the starless nights
[23:38] ---
    going someplace where no fear can reach us
[23:43] ---
    I can go on forever when I'm with you
[23:45] ---
    When we're together, I can hum as we walk along
[23:48] ---
    paths that I couldn't walk alone
[23:52] ---
    As long as you're here, I'm happy
[23:59] ---
    A hidden form appears, together with a smile,
[24:04] ---
    and a new flashpoint descends
    upon a snarled Central.

    Fullmetal Alchemist,

    Is ignorance bliss? Or is it...
