[00:04] ---
    Donatus,
[00:06] ---
    Poswell, Reinmeir, Gianni,
[00:10] ---
    Collins, Toni, Willard,
[00:14] ---
    Ripley, Mechthild, Mayo...
[00:18] ---
    Forgive me, but I have to use you.
[00:38] ---
    "13 years ago"
[00:45] ---
    You ought to pat them.
[00:47] ---
    They are your sons, right?
[00:49] ---
    I don't want the monster to spread.
[00:51] ---
    Oh, brother. If you could
    catch it by doing that,
[00:54] ---
    I would have caught it a long time ago.
[00:59] ---
    Ever since I got this body,
    I've seen a lot of death.
[01:04] ---
    But if I thought about it as one part
    of the flow of the larger world,
[01:09] ---
    it helped to alleviate the sorrow somewhat.
[01:11] ---
    Every time I would encounter
    something beautiful, or wondrous,
[01:15] ---
    it was okay that I accepted
    this body, and went on living.
[01:19] ---
    I thought that for a long time.
[01:22] ---
    That is, until I met you,
    Trisha, and had children.
[01:27] ---
    I don't get any older,
[01:30] ---
    but my children age and grow before my eyes.
[01:35] ---
    Suddenly, it terrifies me.
[01:38] ---
    I realize that I really am a monster.
[01:46] ---
    Dear! Dear, come here a minute!
[01:50] ---
    What is it?
[01:54] ---
    Hello, sir.
[01:56] ---
    A photographer?
[01:58] ---
    Yes. Fix yourself up.
[02:01] ---
    We haven't yet taken a
    picture with all of us, right?
[02:03] ---
    This is awfully sudden.
[02:13] ---
    Here, you hold Ed.
[02:16] ---
    Okay...
[02:20] ---
    We're ready. If you please.
[02:22] ---
    Oh, boy...
[02:28] ---
    Okay, look over here. Don't move, okay?
[02:33] ---
    Someday, I'll be a wrinkly old
    monster of a woman myself.
[02:39] ---
    Even so,
[02:40] ---
    no matter what form I take, I want
    to be able to take a photograph
[02:43] ---
    of all of us together, smiling.
[02:46] ---
    So let's always stay a family.
    Don't go distancing yourself,
[02:50] ---
    or keep aloof from the rest of us.
[02:53] ---
    And don't put yourself down
    with words like "monster."
[02:59] ---
    Okay, I'm taking it.
[03:03] ---
    Smile, dear.
[03:19] ---
    I had planned to accept this body,
    and live on and on...

[03:24] ---
    ...but it's different now.
[03:29] ---
    I want to be with Trisha and the children...
[03:32] ---
    ...to grow old and die with them.
[03:40] ---
    That bastard...
[03:49] ---
    That ought to do it.
[03:56] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:59] ---
    Fixing the swing.
[04:01] ---
    That's so unlike you.
[04:03] ---
    I've never been able to do anything for them,
[04:06] ---
    but I can do this much.
[04:10] ---
    Trisha, I'm going away.
[04:13] ---
    Wait here for me.
[04:17] ---
    Okay.
[04:21] ---
    Don't tell the children about my body.
[04:25] ---
    Okay. Are you sure you
    don't want to wake them?
[04:30] ---
    If I see their faces...
[04:32] ---
    You dummy, it's okay to cry.
[04:43] ---
    G-Goodness, what are you doing up so early?
[04:47] ---
    A-Al said he had to go potty.
[04:49] ---
    Oh. You took care of Al, didn't you?
[04:53] ---
    Thanks, Ed.
[05:31] ---
    A little while longer...

[07:09] ---
    Well?
[07:10] ---
    It's no use. It just won't go through.
[07:13] ---
    Now what? We can't contact those above us.
[07:17] ---
    What do we do? Keep going?
[07:20] ---
    There has to be an exit
    somewhere to dump out the rubble.
[07:24] ---
    Let's go on a little farther.
    Smith, you go back and report.
[07:28] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:32] ---
    What's the matter?
[07:39] ---
    Fan out!
[08:17] ---
    Would you be interested in a legion
    of completely immortal soldiers?
[08:21] ---
    He took the bait.
[08:23] ---
    Never dying, never decaying...
    You're interested too, aren't you?
[08:30] ---
    I wanna cut him to ribbons!
[08:33] ---
    Er, it's such an extraordinary question,
    I'm not sure how to answer.
[08:38] ---
    Are you interested, or not?
[08:40] ---
    There are only two answers.
[08:44] ---
    It is interesting.
[08:46] ---
    When this "day when it's
    not just a dream" comes,
[08:49] ---
    can you tell me if not just me,
    but my men will share in this boon?
[08:54] ---
    When the day comes, I can.
[08:56] ---
    Does that mean there are
    no guarantees until then?

[09:00] ---
    If I buy into this,
[09:02] ---
    I will be forced to help facilitate
    evil doings here at Briggs.

[09:06] ---
    If I do not accept, I will be
    swapped out for some other pawn,

[09:09] ---
    and probably demoted.
[09:12] ---
    So then, which is the best answer?
[09:20] ---
    Excuse me.
[09:23] ---
    What is it?
[09:24] ---
    Begging your pardon, but the
    underground tunnel advance team is--
[09:28] ---
    What's this about the underground tunnel?
[09:30] ---
    --It's all right, speak.
    --Yes, sir.
[09:33] ---
    There is something the matter
    with the advance team.
[09:35] ---
    All right, I'll be right there.
[09:37] ---
    I'm coming, too.
[09:38] ---
    All right, let's move.
[09:41] ---
    Just a minute!
[09:47] ---
    We'll need this, right?
[09:55] ---
    What's going on, Buccaneer?
[09:56] ---
    Sir, I am moving the Elric brothers
[09:59] ---
    from the east cells to the west cells.
    Who is this gentleman?
[10:04] ---
    Mr. Solf J. Kimblee.
    He is General Raven's guest.
[10:08] ---
    Kimblee... The Crimson Alchemist.
[10:12] ---
    By the Elric brothers,
    you mean the Fullmetal Alchemist.
[10:17] ---
    I see, just as your second name suggests.
[10:21] ---
    Oh, this one?
[10:23] ---
    It's been a long time since
    we've had this exchange.

[10:26] ---
    Pleased to meet you, Mr. Fullmetal Alchemist.
[10:31] ---
    Hello.
[10:37] ---
    --General...
    --What happened?
[10:39] ---
    We've lost contact with the party
    that is searching the tunnel.
[10:43] ---
    Immediately afterward, Smith's horse,
[10:45] ---
    and what we presume is his arm,
    are all that returned.
[10:48] ---
    Just his arm? Where's the rest of his body?
[10:51] ---
    Missing, sir. The horse he was riding
[10:54] ---
    is too wound up to be of any use.
[10:58] ---
    Henschel, organize a rescue party.
[11:00] ---
    That won't do, General Armstrong.
[11:04] ---
    This hole is too dangerous.
[11:07] ---
    Where have you put that immortal
    biological weapon you mentioned?
[11:14] ---
    Put him back, and close up
    the entrance, General.
[11:17] ---
    --There are still people...
    --I am speaking to the general.
[11:21] ---
    That is the law up here, right?
    Obey the strong, obey the power,
[11:26] ---
    General Armstrong.
[11:37] ---
    I am Raven, from Central.
[11:40] ---
    I have heard about you from
    His Excellency, the Fuhrer.
[11:43] ---
    Hello.
[11:44] ---
    It appears that you have kept your mouth shut.
[11:47] ---
    That was the agreement.
[11:49] ---
    You seem discontent.
[11:50] ---
    It would be strange for
    someone not to be discontent
[11:52] ---
    when they have hostages
    taken on their account, right?
[11:55] ---
    Um, when can we be let out of this cell?
[11:59] ---
    The agreement was that as long
    as we don't interfere with you,
[12:01] ---
    you would let us continue our journey.
[12:04] ---
    I will let you out of here soon, don't worry.
[12:07] ---
    Is that underground tunnel
    a part of your plan, as well?
[12:12] ---
    If everyone else finds out...
[12:13] ---
    You needn't worry about that, either.
[12:15] ---
    General Armstrong said she was
    going to put the Homunculus
[12:19] ---
    back in the tunnel and then close up the hole.
[12:23] ---
    The general has come over to our side.
[12:30] ---
    General!
[12:31] ---
    Aren't we going to search for
    the missing advance team?
[12:33] ---
    Quiet, Henschel.
[12:35] ---
    They might still be alive, and in need of help!
[12:38] ---
    I said be quiet!
[12:41] ---
    Be quiet and obey.
[12:45] ---
    Obey the power, huh?
[12:48] ---
    Even the impregnable "Northern Wall
    of Briggs" yields to authority, does she?
[12:54] ---
    Well, that is the smartest approach.
[13:05] ---
    Ho, that's what I've heard so much about?
[13:12] ---
    Good morning, Sloth. Did you sleep well?
[13:17] ---
    Who are you? I'm still sleepy.
[13:20] ---
    Hey, now, you still have work to do.
[13:24] ---
    Pride told you so, didn't he?
[13:27] ---
    Pride?
[13:30] ---
    Such a bother... but... I have no choice...
[13:38] ---
    What a bother. Why was it a bother again?
[13:44] ---
    It's too much of a bother to remember.
[13:53] ---
    Not to worry. He is a Chimera,
    doing work for the Central forces.
[13:59] ---
    He is working to make this country even greater.
[14:03] ---
    Although, it is still a top-secret operation.
[14:06] ---
    Now, close up this hole quickly, men of Briggs.
[14:10] ---
    You are comrades that now share in this secret.
[14:26] ---
    All the important parts are
    written in ancient Ishvalan,
[14:30] ---
    so that it can't be read.
[14:32] ---
    Do we give up?
[14:34] ---
    If Scar were here, he might be able to read it.
[14:37] ---
    After all, as an Ishvalan monk,
[14:38] ---
    there's a chance that he knows the ancient text.
[14:44] ---
    Could something have happened to Mr. Scar?
[14:49] ---
    We've found her. The girl
    with the black-and-white cat.
[14:53] ---
    All right, let's go.
[15:06] ---
    Mr. Scar! Mr. Yoki!
[15:08] ---
    Did you find the research notes?
[15:10] ---
    Yes, we sure did!
[15:12] ---
    We're relocating. The Briggs soldiers
    know of this place. Move.
[15:17] ---
    "Several days later"
[15:24] ---
    This will do. We, the chosen ones,
    will receive near-godly bodies,
[15:29] ---
    and will rule the world.
[15:32] ---
    Smith, wasn't it?
[15:34] ---
    There was nothing we could
    do about the advance team.
[15:37] ---
    Are you saying that those who are lesser
[15:39] ---
    will be sacrificed for the chosen ones?
[15:41] ---
    Yes, it's survival of the fittest.
[15:44] ---
    The weak will become the
    foundation for the country,
[15:47] ---
    while the strong will flourish above them.
[15:50] ---
    Is that what happened in Ishval, too?
[15:52] ---
    Yes. They were part of the plan.
[15:55] ---
    Weaker peoples have been
    destined to perish from the start.
[16:02] ---
    Is that right? By all means, allow me.
[16:06] ---
    Yes.
[16:10] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[16:14] ---
    You sure are making frequent
    telephone calls, aren't you?
[16:17] ---
    Where is General Raven?
    I must speak with him.
[16:25] ---
    Gravely injured and near death,
[16:28] ---
    you showed up here,
    the same day, fully recovered.
[16:31] ---
    What sort of magic did you use?
[16:33] ---
    That is none of your business.
[16:36] ---
    How did you, after being
    imprisoned for killing those officers,
[16:39] ---
    ever get released?
[16:41] ---
    I told you, didn't I?
    That is none of your business.
[16:46] ---
    When was this plan set in motion?
[16:48] ---
    I've heard that it was in place
    when the country was created.
[16:51] ---
    And now, in my generation,
    it is to be completed.
[16:55] ---
    I am grateful for your assistance,
    General Armstrong.
[16:59] ---
    I shall speak with those above us
    about preparing a seat for you.
[17:04] ---
    --That's all right.
    --What?
[17:12] ---
    Was Smith's arm the left one? The right one?
[17:16] ---
    W-What are you...?!
[17:18] ---
    Growing old truly is terrifying,
    isn't it, General Raven?
[17:22] ---
    Long ago, you were probably
    a young, high-minded soldier,
[17:26] ---
    who had an earnest love for his country.
[17:28] ---
    Y-You can't do this!
    You were to be a chosen one!
[17:33] ---
    You were to have a seat!
[17:34] ---
    I don't need any new seat.
[17:36] ---
    You're going to vacate the chair
[17:39] ---
    that your moldy old ass is occupying, right now!
[17:42] ---
    Meddlesome old goat!
[17:52] ---
    Immortality... It was right
    before... our eyes...
[17:57] ---
    You're going to literally become
    a foundation for the state here,
[18:00] ---
    in this ground, General Raven.
[18:04] ---
    I was... going to be... immortal...
[18:09] ---
    Buccaneer, contact Miles.
[18:12] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:13] ---
    The rest of you, carry on!
[18:15] ---
    --General...
    --Mm-hmm.
[18:18] ---
    Make that concrete nice and level.
[18:21] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:23] ---
    You're riding me pretty hard, aren't you?
[18:26] ---
    Is it because I was a State Alchemist
[18:29] ---
    who served in the Ishvalan War?
[18:32] ---
    What will it take for you to be content?
[18:35] ---
    Do you want to know how
    your countrymen died?
[18:39] ---
    Shut up, Kimblee.
[18:41] ---
    Do you want me to tell you?
[18:43] ---
    I said shut up!
[18:45] ---
    Major, may I have a moment?
[18:51] ---
    I have a message from General Armstrong.
[18:54] ---
    She says, "Operation complete.
    No need to buy any more time."
[18:58] ---
    Acknowledged.
[19:00] ---
    Well, well, at last, I don't
    have to talk to him anymore.
[19:04] ---
    It may have been an act, but it was still tough.
[19:08] ---
    Kimblee...
[19:10] ---
    Nobody can find General Raven.
[19:13] ---
    Do you know where he might have gone?
[19:16] ---
    He's missing?
[19:18] ---
    What can you do? This place isn't so safe
[19:21] ---
    that an outsider should be
    walking around on their own.
[19:24] ---
    If anything happens to the general...
[19:26] ---
    I would welcome it.
[19:28] ---
    If anything happens to General Raven,
[19:31] ---
    I am free to act however I see fit.
[19:34] ---
    I have permission from the Fuhrer to do so.
[19:38] ---
    Could I ask you for a car to drive
    me to the base of the mountain,
[19:41] ---
    Major Miles?
[19:44] ---
    Do you understand me?
[19:46] ---
    Right now, my actions are
    tantamount to the Fuhrer's actions.
[19:55] ---
    Please wait, sir! We have to
    search for Smith and the others
[19:58] ---
    before we completely cover up the hole!
[20:02] ---
    Fullmetal figured this might happen,
[20:04] ---
    and made us this secret passage.
[20:11] ---
    She killed him?!
[20:12] ---
    General Raven?!
[20:14] ---
    Okay, now you've been told.
[20:17] ---
    Hey! When are you going to let us out of here?!
[20:21] ---
    Who knows? Take it up with the general.
[20:24] ---
    Damn it!
[20:25] ---
    It won't do any good to get worked up, Brother.
[20:28] ---
    You should let yourself rest right now.
[20:30] ---
    I can't just sit still,
    while all of this is going on!
[20:39] ---
    Hello there. Might I have a word
    with the Fullmetal Alchemist?
[20:46] ---
    Oh dear, do you not care
    for me for some reason?
[20:50] ---
    I have brought with me a
    visitor for you two today.
[20:53] ---
    Visitor?
[20:59] ---
    --You idiot!
    --Why did you come here?!
[21:02] ---
    W-Why? You have to switch your
    automail for the north country, right?
[21:07] ---
    And for that matter,
    what are you doing in a cell?
[21:10] ---
    Nobody asked you to come here!
[21:11] ---
    What's with you? I was worried about you.
[21:15] ---
    A military person contacted me,
    so I thought it would be all right.
[21:17] ---
    The military?
[21:18] ---
    Now, now, you two, His Excellency
    the Fuhrer was quite concerned.

    Kimblee?
[23:01] ---
    Yes. I heard from a friend
[23:03] ---
    who works as a nurse at the foot of Briggs.
[23:06] ---
    She said he was admitted with serious injuries,
[23:08] ---
    but after General Raven came to visit him,
[23:09] ---
    he recovered right away, and was discharged.
[23:13] ---
    Raven and Kimblee...
[23:15] ---
    That's all the information I have for today.
[23:19] ---
    Thanks. Let me know if you hear anything else.
[23:23] ---
    Come on by the parlor again sometime.
[23:29] ---
    Looks like you got the
    old heave-ho, young man.
[23:32] ---
    Why don't you buy some flowers,
    and go after her?
[23:35] ---
    I'm better off without her. Thanks anyway.
[23:38] ---
    There are some women who
    leave you, and some who find you.
[23:42] ---
    I have a message for you
    from Olivier Mira Armstrong,
[23:46] ---
    Colonel Roy Mustang.
[23:51] ---
    How about I buy all of your flowers?
[23:59] ---
    The chains that bind our hands and feet
[24:00] ---
    appear in the most surprising forms.
[24:04] ---
    Young man, break free of
    your chains, and cast them off!

[24:07] ---
    Reel them in, and expose
    the identity of the enemy!

[24:20] ---
    Artifice and intimidation--
[24:23] ---
    they are the means to one's desire.
