[01:30] ---
    It's true...
[01:32] ---
    This does look just like her...
[01:42] ---
    My little one is cute, isn't she?
[01:45] ---
    Definitely not her!
[01:47] ---
    I know!
[01:48] ---
    For that matter, we don't
    have time to be playing along
[01:50] ---
    with such a minor joke!
[01:55] ---
    Really...
[01:56] ---
    Where could she be?
[02:13] ---
    East City! East City!
[02:25] ---
    New intel on Scar.
[02:27] ---
    Is he still on the lam?
[02:29] ---
    He never gives up.
[02:34] ---
    Oh, my, I'm so sorry.
[02:36] ---
    Not at all. I'm sorry I wasn't
    watching where I was going.
[02:40] ---
    Such unusual clothing.
    Are you from another country?
[02:45] ---
    I'm from Xing.
[02:47] ---
    Oh, my. Are you here sightseeing?
[02:49] ---
    There isn't much to look at here in East City.
[02:53] ---
    No, I'm just here transferring trains.
[02:56] ---
    I'm heading north from here.
[02:58] ---
    The train bound for North City
[03:00] ---
    --Oh, no!
    --is departing from Platform 3.
[03:02] ---
    --Thank you, Ma'am.
    --All passengers, please hurry aboard.
[03:04] ---
    Take care, okay?
[03:16] ---
    What an unusual kitty-cat.
[03:41] ---
    Where did he go?
[03:42] ---
    I know I heard footsteps.
[03:49] ---
    Over there!
[04:07] ---
    He was together with a middle-aged
    man who had black hair, right?
[04:10] ---
    Yes, that was the report we got.
[04:19] ---
    This was yesterday...
[04:25] ---
    West, huh?
[04:27] ---
    There were several people
    wounded to various degrees here.
[04:31] ---
    Scar must be getting desperate.
[04:34] ---
    I have to say, though...
[04:37] ---
    ...he's being too conspicuous.
[04:44] ---
    Well then,
[04:45] ---
    let's get to work.
[05:14] ---
    Hmph... Well, no matter.
    It's none of my business.
[05:38] ---
    It looks like a funeral.
[05:42] ---
    Yes, so it would seem.
[05:44] ---
    Such an awful thing. When you get to be my age,
[05:48] ---
    all you do is wonder when
    you're going to end up like that.
[05:53] ---
    Whatever do you mean, Ma'am?
    You still look quite young to me.
[06:05] ---
    General Grumman, sir?
[06:09] ---
    We were to meet up in front of
    General Hughes' grave, right?
[06:14] ---
    For you to use your last-ditch measure,
[06:17] ---
    I figured it had to be something serious.
[06:19] ---
    Just to be safe, I put on this disguise.
[06:23] ---
    Wow, I see why you're famous for
    being eccentric, General Grumman.
[06:27] ---
    I wasn't expecting such a disguise.
[06:29] ---
    Eccentric? I shall take that as a compliment.
[06:34] ---
    So, what do you need?
[06:38] ---
    Alkahestry...
[06:40] ---
    We might be able to find out something
    about it from the Central Library.
[06:43] ---
    Yeah. As long as we can't
    locate that beansprout girl,
[06:47] ---
    we have no choice but to look into it ourselves.
[06:49] ---
    I hope we can find even a small clue about it.
[06:54] ---
    I see. The Central senior staff
    have all gone dark, huh?
[06:59] ---
    You've lost too much for the
    information you've gained.
[07:04] ---
    With the men that you can
    trust stripped away from you,
[07:06] ---
    you won't get anywhere.
[07:09] ---
    Yes, sir. I don't know what to say.
[07:13] ---
    Even Raven, huh?
[07:16] ---
    It wasn't too long ago that I came
    to Central, and Raven asked me...
[07:23] ---
    ...would I be interested in an utterly
    immortal corps of soldiers?
[07:29] ---
    An immortal corps?
[07:32] ---
    I wonder if he meant Homunculi.
[07:35] ---
    Immortality is nonsense.
    I told him so, and turned him down.
[07:38] ---
    And then, immediately afterward,
[07:41] ---
    I was shunted off to the
    Eastern Command Center.
[07:44] ---
    You were demoted?
[07:47] ---
    As a result, I've ended up
    stuck having to clean up
[07:50] ---
    all of the upsetting messes in the Eastern Area.
[07:54] ---
    Speaking of upsetting, do you
    remember the insurrection in Liore?
[07:59] ---
    The incident where the
    false priest of Leto's schemes
[08:02] ---
    were uncovered by the Fullmetal Alchemist?
[08:05] ---
    Yes, I remember.
[08:10] ---
    Liore fell into all-out chaos,
[08:13] ---
    but at the beginning stages,
    the Eastern forces acted quickly,
[08:17] ---
    and kept the uprising under control.
[08:20] ---
    However, the Central forces came in,
[08:23] ---
    and the Eastern forces
    were dismissed, weren't they?
[08:28] ---
    Yes.
[08:30] ---
    The peace in Liore quickly disintegrated
[08:34] ---
    after the Central forces moved in.
[08:37] ---
    What are those folks in Central cooking up?
[08:42] ---
    Ah, mercy sakes!
[08:43] ---
    Can't they keep things peaceful
    and quiet until after I retire?
[08:48] ---
    There you go again with the jokes.
[08:50] ---
    General Grumman, someone like you
[08:53] ---
    isn't the least bit satisfied being the chief
[08:56] ---
    of some provincial territory, are you?
[08:58] ---
    Not when you are in command
    of the Eastern forces,
[09:01] ---
    hardy soldiers who are veterans of Ishval.
[09:09] ---
    I figured you'd be coming crying to me
[09:11] ---
    when you used the note with my
    top-secret contact number on it,
[09:14] ---
    but you've called me here to get me stirred up?
[09:19] ---
    My word, as a result of things
    in Central getting interesting,
[09:24] ---
    the embers of my ambition,
    which had almost gone out,
[09:27] ---
    have started to flare back up again.
[09:31] ---
    If you get too fired up,
    your makeup will come off, Ma'am.
[09:34] ---
    Oh, good gracious!
[09:39] ---
    Do you have any free time later, sir?
[09:41] ---
    If you like, we could have some tea somewhere.
[09:43] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry. I do appreciate the invitation.
[10:01] ---
    It's no use.
[10:04] ---
    Why is there so little
    description about alkahestry?
[10:08] ---
    We may as well just go over
    to Xing and learn the real thing.
[10:13] ---
    On the other hand, crossing
    the desert with this automail...
[10:28] ---
    I've found you, Edward Elric.
[10:32] ---
    M-Major! What are you doing?!
[10:35] ---
    Shh! Keep quiet inside the library.
[10:40] ---
    I understand you're after a Xingese girl
[10:43] ---
    who has a black and white cat.
[10:45] ---
    Yeah. But how do you know that?
[10:49] ---
    Colonel Mustang told me. I am
    running errands for the colonel today.
[10:55] ---
    Word is that the girl is headed north.
[10:58] ---
    According to eyewitnesses, she is
    headed from East City to the north.
[11:04] ---
    North, huh? All right!
    Knowing that much, I can act!
[11:08] ---
    Major, thank you. Thank the colonel for me, too.
[11:12] ---
    Hold on, hold on, don't be hasty.
[11:17] ---
    Take this with you.
[11:19] ---
    What is it?
[11:21] ---
    A letter of introduction.
    It may not be of much use, though.
[11:26] ---
    First, see her.
[11:28] ---
    See her? See who?
[11:32] ---
    Farther north from the
    Northern Command Center...
[11:35] ---
    ...is a general, nicknamed
    the Northern Wall of Briggs,
[11:38] ---
    who defends our border with Drachma...
[11:42] ---
    Major General Armstrong.
[12:02] ---
    Hurry.
[12:05] ---
    Scar, you can't get away!
[12:34] ---
    Where did they go?!
[12:40] ---
    Report this to the command center!
    That train is bound for West City!
[12:44] ---
    Damn!
[12:49] ---
    I can't find very many details
    about alkahestry at all.

[12:54] ---
    That May girl's long-range
    alchemy was pretty incredible.

[12:58] ---
    I sure wish we could use it.
[13:01] ---
    I should have asked her more about it
    when we were at Dr. Knocs' place.

[13:06] ---
    Ling said it was a specialized
    technique for the medical field.

[13:16] ---
    Are you the Fullmetal Alchemist's brother,
[13:18] ---
    the one in the large suit of armor?
[13:20] ---
    Y-Yes, I am.
[13:22] ---
    Amazing!
[13:27] ---
    Thanks. I mean, you should
    keep quiet inside the library.
[13:30] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[13:33] ---
    What is that you're studying?
[13:35] ---
    Alkahestry.
[13:37] ---
    Alkahestry?
[13:39] ---
    It's alchemy from the country of Xing.
[13:41] ---
    Oh, yeah? The country of Xing?
[13:45] ---
    But you Elric brothers are masterful enough
[13:47] ---
    to earn your state
    certifications here in Amestris,
[13:50] ---
    which is a major alchemic power, right?
[13:54] ---
    So why are you looking into the
    minor alchemy of a foreign country?
[14:00] ---
    I can't tell him that I'm looking
    for a way to get my body back,

[14:04] ---
    or to fight back against the Homunculi.
[14:08] ---
    Well...
[14:10] ---
    They say that alkahestry is
    specialized toward medical uses.
[14:14] ---
    I'm researching whether or not
    there are any new possibilities
[14:17] ---
    of using it as a technique
    to save people's lives.
[14:20] ---
    Wow! Just what I'd expect of
    the Elric brothers I've heard about.
[14:24] ---
    Al! Alphonse!
[14:26] ---
    Get everything ready! We're leaving!
[14:28] ---
    Brother, keep it down inside the library.
[14:31] ---
    And where are we going?
[14:33] ---
    I'll fill you in as we're walking.
    In any case, we're taking off.
[14:37] ---
    Get our stuff at the hotel together.
[14:39] ---
    Hmm? Who's the kid?
[14:43] ---
    If you're Mr. Armor's brother,
[14:45] ---
    does that mean you're
    Edward, the State Alchemist?
[14:48] ---
    Yeah.
[14:48] ---
    Wow! You're a teeny alchemist,
    just like everyone says!
[14:54] ---
    H-H-Hey, y-you, s-say that one
    more time. Say it one more time,
[15:01] ---
    and you'll go flying. Out as far as Neptune!
[15:05] ---
    Wow, you snap when people call
    you small, just like everyone says.
[15:12] ---
    Step away from Master Selim.
[15:13] ---
    Ah, no, don't shoot him.
[15:17] ---
    By any chance, are you Selim Bradley?
[15:20] ---
    The Fuhrer's son?
[15:23] ---
    Yes, I am.
[15:32] ---
    How did this happen?
    We're supposed to be heading north.
[15:37] ---
    Don't look at me.
[15:39] ---
    Sorry about that.
[15:41] ---
    He has been in awe of you for so long, Edward.
[15:44] ---
    I-In awe of me?!
[15:46] ---
    Selim, do you like alchemy?
[15:49] ---
    Yes. My dream is to learn alchemy,
[15:52] ---
    and become a State Alchemist, just like Edward.
[15:56] ---
    In awe of me?
[15:58] ---
    And then, I want to help out my father!
[16:05] ---
    Do you like your father... Fuhrer King Bradley?
[16:11] ---
    Of course I do.
[16:13] ---
    What kind of man is your father?
[16:16] ---
    He's a fine man.
[16:18] ---
    He endures a demanding job that
    would make a normal man shriek,
[16:21] ---
    and thinks and acts only for
    the nation's people every day.
[16:26] ---
    You don't say.
[16:27] ---
    The Fuhrer does seem to be busy every day.
[16:32] ---
    That's true. He still means
    to stay on active duty
[16:36] ---
    and work himself ragged.
[16:39] ---
    As old as he is, he ought to take it easier.
[16:43] ---
    He's been devoted to work since way back.
[16:47] ---
    He could handle his job, but he's
    an oaf who never understood women.
[16:53] ---
    He was such a rude man, I even slapped him.
[16:58] ---
    It must have been fate, because
    we started seeing each other,
[17:01] ---
    and our first date was something else...
[17:04] ---
    Oh, dear, listen to me go on about him!
[17:19] ---
    Father!
[17:20] ---
    My...
[17:22] ---
    Welcome home!
[17:24] ---
    Sure, Selim.
[17:26] ---
    What is the matter?
[17:28] ---
    I had some free time, for a change,
    so I came to see your faces.
[17:34] ---
    And then, I heard that the
    Fullmetal Alchemist was here.
[17:38] ---
    --Hi there.
    --Long time no see.
[17:41] ---
    We just saw each other at the
    Central Command Center, didn't we?
[17:52] ---
    Oh, so you ran into them at the library?
[17:55] ---
    Yes.
[18:01] ---
    You're thinking that he doesn't look like me?
[18:03] ---
    N-No, it's not that...
[18:06] ---
    I have no blood relation to him.
[18:09] ---
    We were unable to have any children.
[18:13] ---
    So, we're raising a
    relative's son as a foster child.
[18:17] ---
    He really has grown up
    to be a kind, devoted son.
[18:20] ---
    Cut it out, Father.
[18:22] ---
    You're embarrassing me.
[18:24] ---
    It's the truth, though.
[18:33] ---
    Something on your mind?
[18:37] ---
    N-No, it's just that we never see you,
    except at the command center,
[18:41] ---
    so, I mean, you know?
[18:43] ---
    There's what you might call an "image gap."
[18:47] ---
    I see.
[18:48] ---
    I, too, have a family. Me, too.
[18:55] ---
    It may be a little different
    from your family, though.
[19:10] ---
    Father, are you leaving already?
[19:12] ---
    Yes, it's about time I got back to my duties.
[19:21] ---
    Please, make yourself at home...
[19:24] ---
    ...state Alchemist.
[19:34] ---
    Let's go.
[19:47] ---
    Please, come visit again sometime, okay?
[19:49] ---
    Yeah, see you later.
[20:00] ---
    Neither the wife nor the son know
    that the Fuhrer is a Homunculus.
[20:12] ---
    Anyway, north! We're going north!
[20:15] ---
    We'll catch that beansprout girl,
[20:17] ---
    and get the secrets of alkahestry out of her.
[20:20] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[20:27] ---
    We'll arrive there in the morning.
    Get some sleep.
[20:48] ---
    I see. So he managed to succeed in escaping?
[20:56] ---
    This is a map of the West Area, right?
[20:59] ---
    Y-Yes.
[21:03] ---
    He was last spotted... here.
[21:08] ---
    West City is here.
[21:11] ---
    Scar and Marcoh disappeared
    somewhere in between.
[21:18] ---
    You slow down considerably around curves, right?
[21:23] ---
    Is it possible that they jumped off?
[21:26] ---
    There's no reason why they couldn't have,
[21:28] ---
    but it's very dangerous.
[21:30] ---
    You don't say.
[21:33] ---
    Now then, after they jumped off,
    which way would they have fled?
[21:38] ---
    North, or south?

    Won't this be the first time
    we've ever gone up north?
[23:38] ---
    Yeah, it is.
[23:39] ---
    I wonder if we'll see any snow.
[23:42] ---
    Snow, huh? It never really piled up
    when we were in Resembool, did it?
[23:58] ---
    The pursuer, and the pursued...
[24:01] ---
    Madness and hatred collide in a world of white.
[24:05] ---
    An unprecedented struggle opens
    the doorway into a new world.

[24:11] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,

[24:15] ---
    Episode 33: "The Northern Wall of Briggs."
[24:20] ---
    Her golden hair is flame, made of ice.
