[00:08] ---
    I can't keep focused, my body's still wavering
[00:12] ---
    Trembling like I am, my control is shaky
[00:16] ---
    Both the sun and my luck
    have turned the other way,
[00:20] ---
    but I whispered "I've gotta do it,"
    to convince myself
[00:26] ---
    The situation is bad, but I've
    got no guts if I just run away
[00:30] ---
    Nothing to look forward to, but I
    gotta have the grit to get past this
[00:34] ---
    Gotta control my impulses and
    judge the distance to the target
[00:37] ---
    What I need is the pride to win
[00:40] ---
    Will I taste sweet victory, or bitter defeat?
[00:48] ---
    Yeah, it's all one or the other
[00:51] ---
    Wish I could control the threads of fate
[00:56] ---
    Take this perfect golden time tightly in hand
[01:00] ---
    I'll go at this with the best
    poker face I can muster
[01:04] ---
    Dragged into a world of illusion
[01:12] ---
    Slipping out of a boundless pressure game,
[01:16] ---
    what does it take to leap
    across the glorious borderline?
[01:20] ---
    How much will it cost me?
[01:24] ---
    What is it I don't want to let go of?
[01:31] ---
    Ed and Al, who are searching for May,
[01:34] ---
    the young girl from the country of Xing,
[01:36] ---
    in order to find out the secrets of alkahestry,
[01:39] ---
    obtain information that she is headed north.
[01:43] ---
    Meanwhile, Scar has left Central
    and was headed west,
[01:47] ---
    with the Crimson Alchemist, Kimblee, in pursuit.
[01:52] ---
    However, under the cover of night,
    Scar has suddenly gone into hiding.
[02:02] ---
    If he was going to jump from the train,
[02:04] ---
    he'd do it around here,
    where there are lots of curves.
[02:07] ---
    The engine would have to slow down, after all.
[02:10] ---
    The question is, which way
    did he head from here?
[02:15] ---
    Any word on any Scar sightings?
[02:17] ---
    Nothing definite.
[02:19] ---
    That is odd. All the way here,
    he made a big show of his movements.
[02:25] ---
    I have something to report, sir.
[02:27] ---
    There was a small boat stolen from along a river
[02:29] ---
    about 200 meters to the south.
[02:31] ---
    Was it Scar?
[02:32] ---
    There aren't any eyewitness reports as of yet.
[02:35] ---
    --Look into it!
    --Yes, sir!
[02:37] ---
    I have something to report!
    An old man who lives nearby
[02:40] ---
    spotted a suspicious pair of men headed west.
[02:43] ---
    Now he's headed west?
[02:45] ---
    Take some soldiers at once,
    and detain those two!
[02:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[02:50] ---
    Is something the matter?
[02:52] ---
    No, it's just...
[02:54] ---
    ...there is a mountain road
    heading north on this map.
[02:58] ---
    What is this, here?
[03:00] ---
    It was a logging road through to the North Area,
[03:02] ---
    but there were too many rockslides,
[03:04] ---
    and it is currently closed to any traffic.
[03:07] ---
    Is there something about it?
[03:27] ---
    There are several other places further on
[03:29] ---
    where giant rockslides have
    closed the road, like they have here.
[03:42] ---
    The water's flow has been altered here.
[03:45] ---
    So it would seem. Does that mean something?
[03:51] ---
    To an alchemist skilled in destruction,
[03:54] ---
    clearing an obstacle of
    this size is a simple matter.
[03:58] ---
    --Sir?
    --As is destroying the mountain face
[04:01] ---
    to once again block the road with a rockslide.
[04:07] ---
    Transmutation marks?
[04:10] ---
    Send the soldiers north.
[04:27] ---
    Snow!
[04:42] ---
    Brother!
[04:47] ---
    Geez, Brother, you're so unbalanced.
[04:50] ---
    Shut up! I just slipped a little, that's all!
[04:55] ---
    Still, all this snow is amazing, huh?
[04:58] ---
    Yeah. You barely ever see this in Resembool.
[05:03] ---
    Hey, yeah, Al! Do you remember that
    heavy snow we had in Resembool
[05:07] ---
    when we were little?
[05:08] ---
    Heavy snow...
[05:12] ---
    I remember, I remember!
[05:14] ---
    We all had a snowball fight!
[05:17] ---
    And we made a snowman, too.
[05:19] ---
    Uh-huh!
[05:22] ---
    When I was little,
[05:24] ---
    I had no idea we would ever come this far north.
[05:29] ---
    Yeah, and here we are.
[05:42] ---
    So, what do we do?
[05:44] ---
    There's still some time before
    the train to Briggs leaves.
[05:47] ---
    Go have something tasty to eat.
[05:50] ---
    I'm not really that hungry.
[05:52] ---
    Let's go have a look anyhow.
[05:56] ---
    You're going to fall again if you run!
[05:57] ---
    Oh, shut up!
[06:02] ---
    --Attention, all North Area units,
    --Yeah, the express still hadn't arrived
[06:04] ---
    --descriptions of Scar are
    in document number 263-B.
    --as of three hours ago.
[06:06] ---
    Any new information?
[06:08] ---
    We are searching as fast as
    we can, but unfortunately, no.
[06:13] ---
    A man fitting Scar's description
[06:15] ---
    was seen at the switchyard
    one station ahead of us!
[06:17] ---
    You're sure about this?
[06:19] ---
    Positive. He was spotted
    getting aboard a military train
[06:23] ---
    that is bound for Briggs.
[06:25] ---
    Was there anyone with him?
[06:26] ---
    A middle-aged man with
    black hair, just like in the report.
[06:31] ---
    I will have the train stopped at once.
[06:33] ---
    That will not be necessary.
[06:36] ---
    We can't have him jumping
    from the train again, after all.
[06:43] ---
    Now then...
[06:45] ---
    From here on, the job is mine.
[06:49] ---
    See that you people stay out of my way.
[07:02] ---
    Get some sleep now.
[07:03] ---
    You won't be able to sleep in the
    northern cold, even if you want to.
[07:59] ---
    I'm jumping over. Please match our speeds.
[08:02] ---
    Roger!
[08:27] ---
    Doctor Marcoh...
[08:29] ---
    I have come to get you.
    You cannot run any longer.
[08:34] ---
    Are you alone? Where is Scar?
[08:38] ---
    You don't know when to give up.
[08:40] ---
    I told you, you cannot get away, Doctor Mar--
[08:49] ---
    Who are you?
[08:59] ---
    You're the Ishvalan I've heard
    so much about, are you?
[09:33] ---
    How am I supposed to stick
    around with those monsters?!
[09:36] ---
    If I'm going to jump, now's the time!
[09:43] ---
    I can't!
[09:55] ---
    Solf J. Kimblee, the Crimson Alchemist...
[10:00] ---
    Do you remember me?
[10:02] ---
    Yes, I remember you well. You were
    in the Kanda District of Ishval.
[10:10] ---
    Was that your family who
    was around you back then?
[10:15] ---
    There was a fellow there who looked
    just like you, wearing glasses.
[10:19] ---
    He was losing a great deal
    of blood from his left side,
[10:22] ---
    and appeared to be in terrible agony.
[10:37] ---
    This is bad. I've just
    barely gotten out of jail,
[10:39] ---
    and my movements are still rusty,
[10:41] ---
    while he has been fighting continuously,
[10:43] ---
    even after the end of the civil war.
[10:45] ---
    Physically, I am at a disadvantage.
[10:49] ---
    But, since all he can do is destroy...
[11:00] ---
    His left side, right?
[11:04] ---
    I won't give you any time to pray to God.
[11:07] ---
    It's... a shame...
[11:10] ---
    That's twice now that I've failed
    to stop the same Ishvalan...
[11:29] ---
    It is deeply humiliating that
    I would have to run away.
[11:34] ---
    We will settle this next time,
    for sure, Ishvalan!
[11:48] ---
    Kimblee!!
[11:54] ---
    Dammit, I can't see! What was
    that sound a moment ago?!
[12:07] ---
    The rear cars are gone!
[12:10] ---
    This is bad! The military
    gave us orders not to stop!
[12:14] ---
    It's no use! If we derail,
    the question of liability will be on us!
[12:33] ---
    H-Hey!
[12:35] ---
    What happened to you?! Hey!
[12:39] ---
    Who said... you could stop...?
[12:43] ---
    Huh?
[12:44] ---
    Keep us going! Head north!
[12:50] ---
    Yes, good... death is closing in.
[12:55] ---
    Those who forge death
    are also pursued by death.
[13:00] ---
    They are always side-by-side with death.
[13:03] ---
    It is the work that puts the soul
    at risk that possesses beauty.
[13:09] ---
    What worth there is in performing it...
[13:12] ---
    ...on my battlefield...!
[13:22] ---
    I wonder if Mr. Scar and Mr. Yoki are all right.
[13:25] ---
    Judging by the fact that
    no one has come after us,
[13:28] ---
    they seem to have been successful
    in drawing the MPs' attention.
[13:32] ---
    I do hope they are safe.
[13:35] ---
    Mr. Marcoh?
[13:37] ---
    It's nothing.
[13:38] ---
    The northern wind is bracing
    against my still-healing skin.
[13:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:44] ---
    I wish I could have healed
    your face so that it looked better.
[13:48] ---
    No, this is the face that fits me.
    I am content with it.
[13:55] ---
    May, look at that.
[14:00] ---
    The Briggs mountain range.
[14:02] ---
    These mountains mark the border
[14:04] ---
    with the large country of Drachma, to the north.
[14:07] ---
    We should be getting close to
    the location that Scar showed us.
[14:11] ---
    Let's see...
[14:15] ---
    It's right over there.
[14:39] ---
    Eh? They left the hotel?
[14:42] ---
    Yes, they left yesterday.
[14:44] ---
    Do you know where they went?
[14:46] ---
    As I recall, they said they were going north.
[14:49] ---
    They did? Thank you very much.
[14:55] ---
    That dummy!
[14:57] ---
    What's the matter? Are the brothers doing well?
[15:01] ---
    They said they were heading north from there.
[15:03] ---
    Oh, my, well then...
[15:07] ---
    ...they're gonna die.
[15:13] ---
    Brother, are you catching cold?
[15:14] ---
    Ooh, I'm so cold. That's Briggs for you.
[15:19] ---
    We're here, boys!
[15:24] ---
    If you follow this mountain road,
    you'll get to Fort Briggs.
[15:28] ---
    Thanks.
[15:30] ---
    Oh, and you there...
[15:33] ---
    Yes, you. Is that automail?
[15:36] ---
    No.
[15:37] ---
    Oh, okay. In that case, you're all right.
[15:42] ---
    --What was that about?
    --Beats me.
[15:46] ---
    Beyond that fence is military property,
[15:49] ---
    so if you leave the road, you'll end up dead.
[15:51] ---
    Huh?
[15:54] ---
    --Ready to go?
    --Mm-hmm.
[16:11] ---
    They say that the weather in
    the mountains is highly variable,
[16:14] ---
    but I didn't think it changed this quickly.
[16:16] ---
    What do we do, Brother?
    We've completely lost sight of the road.
[16:20] ---
    Relax. Our teacher, Izumi,
    said that she got tossed out here
[16:23] ---
    at Briggs Mountain for a whole
    month during her training period,
[16:26] ---
    and she made it out alive.
[16:27] ---
    No way!
[16:29] ---
    There's no way she could have
    survived in this for a whole month!
[16:32] ---
    But she said she killed some bears!
[16:34] ---
    When the bears around Briggs rear up,
[16:36] ---
    they're taller than two meters!
[16:38] ---
    There's no way she could have killed them!
[16:46] ---
    A bear!
[16:57] ---
    That's no bear!
[17:01] ---
    Al!
[17:05] ---
    Hey, wait! That's a military uniform, isn't it?
[17:08] ---
    Hmm? You have automail, too? The ordinary sort.
[17:13] ---
    Eh? What about you? You've got
    that tacky-looking thing on!
[17:17] ---
    You're a fool not to see the
    beauty of this mechanism!
[17:21] ---
    The Combat Automail M1913-A Crocodile!
[17:27] ---
    Surrender peacefully,
    unless you want to get torn to pieces,
[17:30] ---
    you miserable Drachman spy!
[17:32] ---
    Spy?! What are you talking about?! I'm--
[17:36] ---
    Why, you...!
[17:40] ---
    Don't you hear me, you big lunk?!
[17:43] ---
    Why does that hurt like that?
[17:46] ---
    I can't move my automail very well!
[17:50] ---
    Gotcha!
[17:52] ---
    Brother!
[17:53] ---
    You bastard!
[17:56] ---
    Listen to what I'm telling you!
[17:58] ---
    You're still resisting me?!
[18:03] ---
    You're kidding!
[18:04] ---
    Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
[18:07] ---
    Your good-for-nothing automail is all mine!
[18:10] ---
    Why, you... It's your arm...
[18:13] ---
    ...that's mine!
[18:18] ---
    Did you do something?
[18:20] ---
    Whoa, hold on, hold on,
    hold on, hold on, hold on!
[18:23] ---
    Why didn't my alchemy work?! Isn't this iron?!
[18:27] ---
    Brother!
[18:31] ---
    Thank you, Al!
[18:37] ---
    --Are you okay?!
    --Why, you...!
[18:39] ---
    I won't get to die in the snow,
    because Winry is gonna kill me first!
[18:43] ---
    Not bad, kid. You did pretty
    well with normal automail.
[18:48] ---
    But it ends now.
[18:59] ---
    The Briggs Mountain Guard?!
[19:02] ---
    Hey, are we getting guns
    stuck in our faces again?
[19:11] ---
    Brother!
[19:12] ---
    A wall?
[19:14] ---
    What's going on here, Captain Buccaneer?!
[19:17] ---
    I am terribly sorry for the disturbance,
[19:19] ---
    General Armstrong, sir!
[19:28] ---
    Armstrong...?
[19:30] ---
    That's who Major Armstrong
    said he would introduce to us?
[19:35] ---
    Olivier Mira Armstrong--
    Major Armstrong's older sister?!
[19:42] ---
    But...
[19:46] ---
    She doesn't look like him.
[19:48] ---
    She's not huge.
[19:50] ---
    Who are you?
[19:52] ---
    The Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric!
[19:56] ---
    I am here by referral of
    Major Armstrong, of Central,
[19:59] ---
    to meet the general in charge here!
[20:02] ---
    But first, I would like you
    to call off your guard!
[20:05] ---
    Frisk them.
[20:06] ---
    Hey! I'm not a shady character!
[20:09] ---
    I don't know that. Anyone can
    claim to be someone famous.
[20:15] ---
    Whoa, he's hollow!
[20:17] ---
    Why, you...!
[20:20] ---
    What's this?
[20:21] ---
    General!
[20:23] ---
    That's a letter of introduction
    from Major Alex Louis Armstrong!
[20:27] ---
    If you will read that, you will
    see that you can trust us!
[20:32] ---
    Hmm, this is from Alex, all right.
[20:37] ---
    Wha--?
[20:38] ---
    You're not going to read it?!
[20:40] ---
    Letters of introduction are meaningless to me.
[20:43] ---
    I don't care about anyone else's appraisals.
[20:47] ---
    I judge people with my own eyes.
[21:05] ---
    A-Awesome!
[21:08] ---
    It's huge! What is this?!
[21:12] ---
    Enter, Fullmetal Alchemist.
[21:15] ---
    Awesome! It's so tall! And huge!
[21:18] ---
    Start walking already, dirtbags,
[21:21] ---
    before I yank out that
    antenna on top of your head!
[21:29] ---
    I'll warn you upfront, I'm not
    going to treat you like children.
[21:32] ---
    This is the mountain fortress, Briggs.
[21:36] ---
    It's a world of survival of the fittest.
[21:48] ---
    However much we may wander,
    I want to meet up here again
[21:54] ---
    Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[22:00] ---
    We talked until the sun came up
[22:03] ---
    and held hands until the sun went down again
[22:06] ---
    Let's keep walking together like this tomorrow,
    and the day after, in light and shadow
[22:11] ---
    In this city of lonely gazes
[22:16] ---
    where I couldn't find any warmth alone,
[22:21] ---
    I first found out that love
[22:27] ---
    could provide such strength when I met you
[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
[22:43] ---
    I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
[22:48] ---
    Let's keep lighting up the starless nights
[22:54] ---
    going someplace where no fear can reach us
[22:59] ---
    I can go on forever when I'm with you
[23:01] ---
    When we're together, I can hum as we walk along
[23:04] ---
    paths that I couldn't walk alone
[23:07] ---
    As long as you're here, I'm happy
[23:19] ---
    There it is!
[23:28] ---
    So this is Scar's brother's research notebook.
[23:32] ---
    A fusion of Xingese alkahestry
    and Amestrisian alchemy, right?
[23:37] ---
    Could the secret of gaining
    immortality be written in here?
[23:40] ---
    I sure hope it is.
[23:44] ---
    Will this book bring hope,
    or will it bring despair?
[23:53] ---
    Well, let me start deciphering it.
[23:58] ---
    Olivier Mira Armstrong, the general of Briggs.
[24:03] ---
    Amestris' tutelary god,
[24:05] ---
    who reigns over the north
    with ferocity and strength.
[24:08] ---
    Though she may be feared, she is without fear.
[24:13] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:18] ---
    Episode 34: "Ice Queen."
[24:22] ---
    Behold the Briggs Way.
