[01:41] ---
    E-Exposure?
[01:44] ---
    Yes, what we call chilblains.
[01:46] ---
    You were this close to getting frostbite.
[01:50] ---
    If you walk around out in a
    snowstorm for a long time,
[01:53] ---
    the flesh that is in contact with
    your automail will get frostbite.
[01:56] ---
    Also, if you don't switch out your
    lubricant, you won't move as well.
[01:59] ---
    That Buccaneer guy's automail is different?
[02:03] ---
    It's no use, Doc! This head is
    stuck so tight, I can't get it out.
[02:06] ---
    Ah! My head!
[02:10] ---
    Up here, your automail has
    to be flexible and lightweight,
[02:14] ---
    as well as being resistant to the cold.
[02:17] ---
    After some trial and error,
    we came up with this automail,
[02:20] ---
    a combination of duralumin,
    carbon fiber, nickel, copper, and so on.
[02:26] ---
    Usually, you'd think it's just iron.
    No wonder I couldn't destroy it.
[02:31] ---
    Hey, Doc, you're not planning on
    telling him everything, are you?
[02:36] ---
    Oh, why not? This is an
    esteemed State Alchemist.
[02:41] ---
    For real?
[02:43] ---
    He's got the silver pocketwatch.
[02:47] ---
    This kid is the equivalent of a major?
[02:51] ---
    If you're planning on staying in the north long,
[02:53] ---
    change your automail to a
    cold-weather regional model.
[02:56] ---
    Do you have your own mechanic?
[02:58] ---
    She's in Rush Valley.
[03:01] ---
    And she let her customer come up north
[03:03] ---
    without explaining this,
    or providing you with a replacement?
[03:05] ---
    Er, no, I didn't tell her I was coming up north.
[03:10] ---
    If you want to stay alive, have her
    provide you with a replacement,
[03:13] ---
    even if she has to come up here.
[03:16] ---
    Okay.
[03:17] ---
    That will be 100 cens for the coffee.
[03:20] ---
    That was downright dirty.
[03:22] ---
    It's not even as good as the
    Eastern Command Center's.
[03:24] ---
    It's your own fault for letting your guard down.
[03:26] ---
    So, what are you doing here,
    with your normal automail,
[03:32] ---
    unaccompanied, and bypassing
    the command center?
[03:34] ---
    Oh, right. I even brought a
    letter from Major Armstrong,
[03:37] ---
    asking for your help!
[03:39] ---
    That lady general wouldn't even listen to me,
[03:42] ---
    and said she would yank out my antenna--
[03:45] ---
    You called, little red runt?
[03:47] ---
    L-Little red...
[03:49] ---
    What is it? If you've got a
    problem with me, speak up!
[03:52] ---
    M-My hair...!
[04:02] ---
    This looks lame.
[04:09] ---
    So then, I've heard that you two
    are close to my brother Alex.
[04:15] ---
    Is he doing all right?
[04:17] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:18] ---
    The same muscle-bound guy as ever.
[04:21] ---
    He's as healthy as can be!
[04:22] ---
    Tch!
[04:24] ---
    "Tch"?
[04:25] ---
    No matter. Never mind him,
[04:27] ---
    tell me why you would bypass
    the command center to meet me.
[04:31] ---
    Tell me everything, including the
    reason why your armor is empty.
[04:36] ---
    That's something we'd prefer
    not to have others hear about.
[04:40] ---
    There's nothing to be anxious about.
[04:42] ---
    The folks here have all sorts of things to hide.
[04:44] ---
    "Things we'd prefer not to have
    others hear about" aren't unusual.
[04:48] ---
    But... if this gets out,
    it could get me court-martialed.
[04:53] ---
    I've done some things like that myself.
[04:56] ---
    Brother, a moment?
[04:58] ---
    I think we have to tell her,
    or else she won't tolerate us.
[05:00] ---
    But Winry is a hostage.
[05:03] ---
    All right, let's do this so as not to
    mention the Fuhrer or Homunculi.
[05:08] ---
    What are you talking about? Get on with it!
[05:11] ---
    Okay, let's go with us being on a
    journey to get back our bodies...
[05:24] ---
    I see. So that's why
    you're looking for this girl
[05:27] ---
    with the black-and-white cat, is it?
[05:31] ---
    Understood.
[05:32] ---
    So, will you work with us?
[05:33] ---
    I understand that you are
    a couple of butterfingers,
[05:37] ---
    who don't think about anything too deeply,
[05:39] ---
    and spread trouble around
    with your careless actions!
[05:41] ---
    I don't want anyone like that inside my citadel.
[05:44] ---
    Honest to goodness, how can the folks in Central
[05:46] ---
    let these two run around loose?
[05:49] ---
    Get out of here, this instant!
[05:54] ---
    Or so I'd like to say,
    but I'm interested in alkahestry.
[05:58] ---
    You two are acquaintances
    with this alkahestry girl, right?
[06:03] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[06:04] ---
    It's a technique not found
    in this country. I want it.
[06:08] ---
    You can never have too many techniques.
[06:11] ---
    Especially here in this land,
    where we adjoin the great Drachma.
[06:15] ---
    Depending on how it's used,
    alkahestry could be a fine weapon.
[06:19] ---
    Wait just a minute, please!
[06:21] ---
    Alkahestry is an art specialized
    for the medical field. For you to--
[06:24] ---
    Silence! You're just dogs,
    yapping within the country's interior!
[06:29] ---
    Don't forget that your peace and security
[06:31] ---
    is protected by those of us
    who are here on the borders.
[06:36] ---
    I am the one who draws the
    national border in the north.
[06:38] ---
    I will take any technique I can,
    if it will help me.
[06:44] ---
    Let me take care of finding the alkahestry girl.
[06:47] ---
    You two stay inside the fort.
[06:51] ---
    Also, Major Miles...
[06:52] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Put them to work.
[06:56] ---
    "If man will not work, he shall not eat."
[07:00] ---
    You have a point.
[07:03] ---
    Those two have had quite a hard background.
[07:07] ---
    They seem moderately acquainted
    with scenes of carnage,
[07:09] ---
    but I can tell that on the inside,
    they are still soft.
[07:13] ---
    And another thing...
[07:15] ---
    I can tell that they have a
    secret that they can't tell us.
[07:27] ---
    Say, what kind of work
    are you going to put us to?
[07:33] ---
    When she said the folks here
    have all sorts of things to hide,
[07:37] ---
    do you have something, too?
[07:41] ---
    It's no fair if you guys ask all the
    questions, and never answer any.
[07:47] ---
    You really want to know?
[07:53] ---
    --Red eyes!
    --You're Ishvalan?!
[07:56] ---
    But why? We were told that all
    the soldiers who came from Ishval
[07:59] ---
    were purged before the War of Extermination.
[08:03] ---
    I do indeed have Ishvalan
    blood flowing in my veins.
[08:07] ---
    However, my grandmother and
    my father, not to mention his wife,
[08:09] ---
    are all of a different race.
[08:13] ---
    The color of my eyes and skin
[08:15] ---
    must be because my
    grandfather's blood runs strong.
[08:19] ---
    Amestrisian, your people really did a number
[08:23] ---
    on my ancestral land of Ishval.
[08:32] ---
    It's you Ishvalans who
    burned down our countryside,
[08:36] ---
    and killed the parents of
    one of our childhood friends.
[08:40] ---
    Whoa, Brother!
[08:52] ---
    Sorry.
[08:54] ---
    That's just the first time anyone
    has ever given a comeback like that.
[08:58] ---
    You were testing me?
[09:00] ---
    That was rude of me. After the civil war,
[09:03] ---
    I've often been looked upon with pity.
[09:06] ---
    To be honest, I've gotten fed up with it.
[09:09] ---
    But you're different.
[09:12] ---
    Well, I've had an Ishvalan try
    to kill me, nearly kidnap me,
[09:18] ---
    and reconcile with me, so I've
    had a pretty rich relationship.
[09:24] ---
    Besides, people should get beyond race,
[09:27] ---
    and talk to each other as equals.
[09:38] ---
    Major Miles, were you on active duty
    during the War of Extermination?
[09:43] ---
    Yeah. I've been General Armstrong's
    adjutant since those days.
[09:49] ---
    The War of Extermination started
    right after I was posted here,
[09:52] ---
    and many of my relatives,
    including my grandfather,
[09:54] ---
    were killed in the east.
[09:56] ---
    I was barely outside of the military's
    purge terms, so I was spared.
[10:01] ---
    Didn't you hold any grudge against the military?
[10:04] ---
    You really do ask whatever you like, don't you?
[10:08] ---
    I can't stand being so ignorant.
    If I've offended you, I apologize.
[10:14] ---
    An "ignorant" State Alchemist, huh?
[10:21] ---
    I resented what the military did.
[10:24] ---
    Meanwhile, I had doubts as to why
    the general kept me on as her adjutant.
[10:30] ---
    By having me, someone
    with Ishvalan blood, around,
[10:32] ---
    it could have caused discord
    among the soldiers here.
[10:36] ---
    So why didn't she get rid of me?
[10:39] ---
    I once came right out at the general about it.
[10:43] ---
    Briggs here is a land that must
    not fall, no matter what happens.
[10:48] ---
    Each of us, down to the last soldier,
    must move with strength,
[10:52] ---
    and yet with flexibility, executing
    my will as leader in all things,
[10:56] ---
    as one stalwart force.
[10:59] ---
    In short...
[11:00] ---
    ...we have no time for "discrimination."
[11:04] ---
    With the blood of the various
    peoples that flows within you,
[11:07] ---
    and their various sets of values,
[11:09] ---
    you are able to see this country
    from various different angles.
[11:12] ---
    I was born and raised in Amestris,
    and in order for me to be a leader,
[11:16] ---
    I need people like you.
    Now shut up and follow me, Miles.
[11:23] ---
    Her words were perfectly rational,
    and without deception.
[11:28] ---
    When I asked her, "Even so,
    if the Ishvalan blood within me
[11:31] ---
    is unable to forgive what the
    military has done, what then?"
[11:35] ---
    what do you think the general said?
[11:37] ---
    Very well. Come at me.
    As a representative of the armed forces,
[11:41] ---
    I will accept any challenges at any time.
[11:43] ---
    --That's what she said.
    --Wow, what a hellcat.
[11:46] ---
    Did she say it because she had
    her troops lined up behind her?
[11:48] ---
    No, she was serious.
[11:50] ---
    I'll kill you one-on-one!
[11:52] ---
    That was the look in her eye.
[12:01] ---
    Do you know what the law is here?
[12:03] ---
    Survival of the fittest?
[12:05] ---
    That's right. Those without power die,
    while those with power survive.
[12:10] ---
    That truth never changes,
    24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
[12:14] ---
    It truly is simple.
[12:16] ---
    Be you buck private or top boss,
[12:18] ---
    race, ethnicity, and sex make no difference.
[12:22] ---
    Whoa-oa-oa!
[12:26] ---
    That was survival of the fittest, as well.
[12:28] ---
    Your luck is strong, so you survived.
[12:33] ---
    The icicle scrapers are slacking off.
    That's your job now.
[12:38] ---
    I'll tell one of my men to show
    you inside once you're done.
[12:45] ---
    Damn, I can't reach.
[12:47] ---
    Huh? It couldn't be...!
[12:51] ---
    Warrant Officer Falman!
[12:53] ---
    The Elric brothers!
[12:54] ---
    What are you doing here?
[12:56] ---
    What about you? I thought you were
    at the Northern Command Center.
[13:00] ---
    Yeah, but the Northern Command
    Center bumped me up here.
[13:04] ---
    They made you a 2nd lieutenant!
[13:06] ---
    Yeah.
[13:07] ---
    Really? Congratulations on the promotion--
[13:10] ---
    So why are you knocking down icicles?
[13:12] ---
    If you're doing such
    bottom-rung work, that means...
[13:16] ---
    ...you're off your career track.
[13:20] ---
    Don't say that!
[13:25] ---
    This is the development level.
[13:27] ---
    Wow! What is this?
[13:29] ---
    It was General Armstrong's idea.
[13:32] ---
    They gather the country's latest technologies
[13:34] ---
    and develop them into weapons.
[13:37] ---
    Including combat automail?
[13:39] ---
    Yeah. Over here now.
[13:50] ---
    This is Briggs' lowest level.
[13:53] ---
    Sure is warm. Not at all like up above.
[13:57] ---
    All the fort's lifelines come through here.
[14:00] ---
    Even if the fort's upper levels are attacked,
[14:02] ---
    it's no big deal down here in the heart.
[14:06] ---
    Hey, move it, you're in the way!
[14:08] ---
    --Stop staggering around!
    --Sorry.
[14:11] ---
    Hey, Bobby, over here!
[14:14] ---
    This pipe here!
[14:21] ---
    This is...
[14:25] ---
    ...coming from underground.
[14:26] ---
    What?!
[14:28] ---
    It sounds like someone's
    digging through the rock...
[14:31] ---
    Don't tell me those Drachma goons
    are digging a tunnel under the fort!
[14:35] ---
    It's close!
[14:38] ---
    What a bother...
[14:40] ---
    Ah, what a bother...
[14:43] ---
    It's such a bother, it's killing me.
[14:47] ---
    But dying would be a bother.
[15:11] ---
    Solf J. Kimblee?
[15:13] ---
    He was seriously wounded
    on a cargo train headed here,
[15:16] ---
    and was admitted into a hospital
    at the base of the mountain.
[15:19] ---
    The full cooperation of the
    Briggs branch is requested.
[15:22] ---
    Wasn't the Crimson Alchemist
    supposed to be serving time?
[15:26] ---
    Apparently, he was released. Fuhrer's orders.
[15:30] ---
    I don't like this.
[15:34] ---
    What is it?!
[15:35] ---
    We have an intruder, from under the ground!
[15:37] ---
    What?!
[15:55] ---
    A Homunculus!
[15:59] ---
    Damn, they know that we've
    come here to find a way

[16:03] ---
    to fight back against the Homunculi?
[16:17] ---
    Don't fall asleep!
[16:22] ---
    What?
[16:24] ---
    Oh, you know, your "Father" in
    Central told you about us, right?
[16:29] ---
    Y-Yeah, we're just here looking for
    a way to get our old bodies back.
[16:35] ---
    Who... are you?
[16:39] ---
    Dig the hole. What a bother. Ah, what a bother.
[16:46] ---
    You don't think this guy...
[16:48] ---
    Mm-mm. He might not have heard
    about us from Father or the Fuhrer.
[16:56] ---
    So you really are a spy from Drachma!
[17:00] ---
    You misunderstand!
[17:01] ---
    Then why are you speaking with
    the intruder like you know him?!
[17:04] ---
    We don't know him!
[17:06] ---
    --Your lies won't fool me!
    --This is in my way.
[17:08] ---
    I'm not lying, I tell you! We were just...
[17:19] ---
    This place... is big...
[17:22] ---
    Where... is this?
[17:25] ---
    Do I... not have to... dig anymore?
[17:29] ---
    Fire!
[17:35] ---
    The guns have no effect!
[17:40] ---
    Where... am I?
[17:48] ---
    This is bad! He's going up to
    the development level! After him!
[17:52] ---
    Contact the development level!
[17:53] ---
    --We're going after him, too!
    --Investigate the hole he came out of, too!
[17:54] ---
    --Mm-hmm!
    --There might be others coming through!
[18:22] ---
    He's huge!
[18:26] ---
    It's warm...
[18:28] ---
    Don't move!
[18:38] ---
    --Extinguish it.
    --Yes, sir!
[18:50] ---
    I know I hit it.
[18:53] ---
    Boss, it's no use!
[18:54] ---
    Firearms won't work against him!
[18:56] ---
    What?!
[18:58] ---
    All noncombatants, withdraw immediately.
[19:00] ---
    Shut off the alarm, too.
[19:02] ---
    Don't let the folks in Drachma
    know about this disturbance.
[19:06] ---
    Boss, I brought these!
[19:08] ---
    Have the trial runs been completed?
[19:11] ---
    We don't need them. These are the
    development team's prize babies.
[19:15] ---
    Remove the fuses from the shells.
[19:17] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:29] ---
    First round loading complete.
[19:31] ---
    Fire!
[19:34] ---
    Direct hit!
[19:43] ---
    Ou...ch...
[19:49] ---
    Pain is also...
[19:52] ---
    ...a bother...
[19:57] ---
    Don't just sit there, load the next round!
[20:02] ---
    Fire!
[20:17] ---
    Ouch.
[20:20] ---
    Right... back to work...
[20:24] ---
    Dig... the hole...
[20:47] ---
    It won't work, General!
[20:48] ---
    No matter how many times
    you kill him, he won't die!
[20:50] ---
    It won't die?
[20:52] ---
    What do you mean? How would
    you know something like that?
[20:57] ---
    W-Well...
[21:00] ---
    I don't appreciate you acting dim!
[21:02] ---
    Answer as many of my questions as you can!
[21:05] ---
    How do you know about that thing?!
    Are you a spy from Drachma?!
[21:09] ---
    No!
[21:10] ---
    Then is that thing a spy?!
[21:12] ---
    Probably not!
[21:14] ---
    Does that thing know you?
[21:16] ---
    Probably not!
[21:17] ---
    What is that thing?
[21:22] ---
    I can't answer that!
[21:23] ---
    Whose orders is that thing acting on?
[21:25] ---
    I can't answer that!
[21:28] ---
    Why can't you answer?
[21:31] ---
    You'll have to guess.
[21:37] ---
    Last question. Are you on our side here?
[21:41] ---
    I wouldn't want to see anyone here get killed.
[21:46] ---
    Tell me what that thing is made of.
[21:49] ---
    His body's structure and compositional elements
[21:51] ---
    are probably the same as a human.
[21:54] ---
    The same as a human, huh?
[21:57] ---
    Buccaneer, bring me some tank fuel!
    We're going to douse it!
[22:02] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --I told you, that won't work, General!
[22:04] ---
    Even if you set him ablaze,
    he's not going down that easily!
[22:06] ---
    I learned from that last attack
    that we can't kill it.
[22:09] ---
    In which case, we'll just have
    to shut down its functions.
[22:13] ---
    We're going to hit it with
    something even stronger than fire.
[22:20] ---
    Let me show you the Briggs way!
