**[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?
**[22:06] ---**

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?
