[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?
[01:38] ---
    Who are those guys?
[01:40] ---
    A few of Kimblee's men,
    who were dispatched from Central,
[01:42] ---
    under the pretext of being
    Miss Rockbell's escorts.
[01:47] ---
    What are you planning to do
    here at Briggs, Kimblee?
[01:56] ---
    If you were going up north,
    you should have told me!
[01:58] ---
    I couldn't help it! We were in a hurry.
[02:02] ---
    You guys are always in a hurry!
    And what were you doing in that cell?
[02:07] ---
    It is a simple misunderstanding.
[02:10] ---
    They will be out soon. I will handle
    the arrangements afterward.
[02:15] ---
    Thank you, Mr. Kimblee. Please
    look after these two for me, okay?
[02:20] ---
    Yes...
[02:25] ---
    Hey, don't go trusting Kimblee too much.
[02:29] ---
    Why not? He's a nice man, isn't he?
[02:36] ---
    Miss Rockbell,
[02:38] ---
    your parents were doctors,
    who lost their lives in Ishval, right?
[02:44] ---
    --Yes.
    --I knew it.
[02:47] ---
    It was my squad that recovered their bodies.
[02:52] ---
    We were one step short of reaching them in time,
[02:53] ---
    and when we arrived, it was already too late.
[02:58] ---
    I see...
[03:01] ---
    They followed the physician's code,
[03:03] ---
    and stuck to their convictions,
    right up to the end.
[03:06] ---
    I sincerely respect them.
[03:08] ---
    I would like to have met them
    when they were still alive.
[03:15] ---
    They were holding a photograph of themselves
[03:18] ---
    with their dear daughter, ever so preciously.
[03:22] ---
    You must have been a great
    emotional support to them.
[03:28] ---
    It is an honor to meet you, Winry Rockbell.
[03:35] ---
    Do you know what he did in Ishval--
[03:44] ---
    All I know about Ishval is what
    the lieutenant said to me.
[03:49] ---
    What the lieutenant said...
[03:53] ---
    You love Winry, don't you?
[04:08] ---
    Calm down! Think about something else!
    Think about something else!
[04:13] ---
    Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon,
[04:17] ---
    --nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine,
    --E-Ed...?
[04:18] ---
    aluminum, silicon, phosphorus,
    chromium, manganese, iron,
[04:22] ---
    cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc,
[04:24] ---
    --strontium, yttrium, zirconium...
    --Why did I have to go
    and fall for a weirdo like him?
[04:27] ---
    Huh? Did you say something?
[04:29] ---
    Nothing at all!
[04:31] ---
    Yow!
[04:33] ---
    W-Why, you! I told you, warn me
    before you connect the nerves!
[04:37] ---
    Right, right. Now for the leg.
[04:46] ---
    Oh, it's so light! Is the strength of this still okay?
[04:50] ---
    Mm-hmm. Overall, the
    strength is lower than before,
[04:54] ---
    but the key areas are reinforced.
[05:00] ---
    What are you doing out of your cell?
[05:03] ---
    Who knows? Maybe it's the power
    of being a State Alchemist.
[05:07] ---
    Hmm, you're finally switching
    to a cold-weather climate model?
[05:11] ---
    What about you?
[05:15] ---
    This is the one that I'm most comfortable with!
[05:18] ---
    Wow! The M1910 light combat automail!
[05:23] ---
    Huh? The claw tips have been reinforced?
[05:26] ---
    Are those diamond stock, by any chance?
[05:30] ---
    Yeah! It's a refitted M1910, the Mad Bear G!
[05:36] ---
    Hey, Ed, you want something like this, too?
[05:39] ---
    No thanks!
[05:40] ---
    Hey, who is this cute little girl?
[05:43] ---
    My mechanic.
[05:52] ---
    "Kill!!!"
[05:56] ---
    What did you do that for?!
[05:58] ---
    This is turning my stomach.
[06:01] ---
    That was brutal.
[06:02] ---
    I've never seen a northern model! It's so thrilling.
[06:06] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[06:07] ---
    In that case, want to see my workplace?
[06:09] ---
    I do, I do! I want to see it!
[06:11] ---
    --Hey!
    --What?
[06:13] ---
    Uh, nothing. Just don't get too carried away,
[06:16] ---
    and wander around this place too much.
[06:19] ---
    There's all sorts of
    dangerous stuff inside the fort.
[06:23] ---
    Mm-hmm, all right.
[06:26] ---
    If you'd be so kind!
[06:28] ---
    This one is kind of rare.
[06:30] ---
    Wow, incredible! That's a Crocodile, right?
[06:33] ---
    --As enthusiastic about her
    work as her parents, I see.
    --I'm impressed you knew that!
[06:36] ---
    The earmark of this thing is its design
[06:37] ---
    with respect to the coefficient
    of expansion of its material...
[06:40] ---
    Now then, your automail swap has
    been completed without incident.
[06:45] ---
    Let's get down to business,
[06:48] ---
    Fullmetal Alchemist.
[06:53] ---
    Um...
[06:55] ---
    ...why haven't you let me out?
[06:58] ---
    Mr. Kimblee's orders.
[07:00] ---
    We were told to only let the
    Fullmetal Alchemist out for now.
[07:04] ---
    --You just stay here and behave yourself.
    It's not like we're gonna eat you, or anything.
    --Kimblee's men... He's covering all the bases,
[07:09] ---
    --That puny alchemist will be back before long.
    --not to let us work together.
    Not to mention bringing Winry along,
[07:13] ---
    to emphasize that "she is in our hands."
[07:18] ---
    That just shows how wary they are of us.
[07:22] ---
    I can't rush into anything.
    I have to wait for my chance.
[07:28] ---
    The provisions the advance team
    took with them were for three days.
[07:31] ---
    A week has already gone by.
[07:33] ---
    That's cutting it pretty close.
[07:35] ---
    I'm concerned about their mental state, too.
[07:37] ---
    If you spend a week in the dark like this...
[07:40] ---
    Let's have faith in their mental strength.
[07:44] ---
    General, we can't even guess
    what might happen in this hole.
[07:48] ---
    If we're not back in 24 hours,
    please seal up the hole.
[07:54] ---
    All right, I will.
[08:02] ---
    I'm telling you all, right now,
[08:04] ---
    that the incident with General Raven
    is something I did all on my own.
[08:09] ---
    None of you saw anything, nor heard anything.
[08:13] ---
    If any of this ever comes out,
    put all of the blame on me.
[08:19] ---
    Yes, Ma'am.
[08:35] ---
    Let's go.
[08:45] ---
    I see. Things appear to be getting
    pretty unruly up north, too.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah. From here on,
    you need to take the initiative.
[08:53] ---
    The Briggs crowd is skilled at defense.
[08:56] ---
    The "first-strike victory" strategy works
[08:58] ---
    when you excel at both offense and defense.
[09:00] ---
    Thus, it would be best if they
    teamed with the Eastern forces,
[09:04] ---
    which are skilled at attacking.
    Or so Madam Olivier believes.
[09:07] ---
    It's an honor to be chosen
    as her tag team partner.
[09:10] ---
    No, it's the strength of the Eastern
    forces that Madam Olivier wants.
[09:15] ---
    She said you could just as well get lost, Mustang.
[09:18] ---
    Oh...
[09:21] ---
    If I might ask,
[09:23] ---
    what would you do if I sold
    this information to the Fuhrer,
[09:26] ---
    to save my own neck?
[09:28] ---
    She said, "Not possible.
    Mustang is not that kind of man."
[09:33] ---
    That will be 35,000 cens.
[09:37] ---
    I'm honored.
[09:41] ---
    Ma'am, who are you?
[09:44] ---
    Just an old florist woman,
[09:46] ---
    who has served the Armstrong
    family for generations.
[09:55] ---
    Hughes,
[09:56] ---
    the people who understand and support us
[09:59] ---
    are ultimately our old war buddies,
[10:01] ---
    whom we've fought alongside, aren't they?
[10:05] ---
    Now then...
[10:08] ---
    --What's with him?
    --What a weirdo.
    --...what do I do with these flowers?
[10:10] ---
    --Oh, no, he's looking at us!
    --...what do I do with these flowers?
[10:16] ---
    This is awful.
[10:19] ---
    It's just like Smith's arm. Even this
    metal was cut through cleanly.
[10:23] ---
    Watch yourselves. The enemy might be out there.
[10:35] ---
    There's someone there!
[10:40] ---
    You're all right. It's me. Do you recognize me?
[10:43] ---
    L-Lieutenant Henschel?
[10:48] ---
    Thank goodness you're alive.
    Is it just you? Any others?
[10:52] ---
    The others... the others were all...
    torn to pieces...!
[10:57] ---
    We have to... we have to get
    out of here, quick! It's coming!
[11:01] ---
    It?
[11:03] ---
    N-No lights! The shadow...
    The shadow is coming!
[11:06] ---
    Take it easy! Hey!
[11:09] ---
    The light...!
[11:10] ---
    Hey, snap out of it!
[11:13] ---
    The shadow... is coming!
[11:19] ---
    --Can you stand?
    --Let's go. Carry them as best you can.
[11:28] ---
    I apologize for coming so late.
[11:30] ---
    I came to deliver these urgent
    documents to His Excellency.
[11:33] ---
    Oh, dear, I'm sorry.
    He is not home at the moment.
[11:38] ---
    I would like for him to look
    these over by tomorrow.
[11:41] ---
    By tomorrow, you say?
[11:42] ---
    All right. I will take them from you.
[11:45] ---
    Well then, if you'd be so k--
[11:49] ---
    Selim, are you still up?
[11:52] ---
    Yes. I heard someone at the door,
[11:54] ---
    and thought that maybe Father had come home.
[11:57] ---
    This is Lieutenant Hawkeye.
[11:59] ---
    Good evening, Miss Hawkeye.
[12:02] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[12:03] ---
    Are you still working this late?
[12:05] ---
    Yes. I came to deliver some
    documents to His Excellency.
[12:09] ---
    I'm terribly sorry to have awakened you.
[12:13] ---
    Come, Master Selim.
[12:15] ---
    You must retire, or you will oversleep tomorrow.
[12:19] ---
    Okay.
[12:23] ---
    Such a sharp son you have.
[12:27] ---
    Isn't he? I'm so proud of our son.
[12:30] ---
    If he were our biological son,
    you might call me a doting mother,
[12:33] ---
    but since he is adopted, I can
    be unreserved in my pride.
[12:35] ---
    Though, since he's the boy of a
    distant relative on the Bradley side,
[12:38] ---
    perhaps his good traits come
    from my husband's lineage.
[12:42] ---
    Eh? He's not one of your
    distant relatives, Ma'am?
[12:45] ---
    No.
[12:53] ---
    According to what the colonel said,
[12:55] ---
    King Bradley was raised as a test
    subject from the time he was a baby,
[12:59] ---
    and has no family.
[13:01] ---
    He doesn't have a single relative!
[13:03] ---
    Besides which, there was
    that sensation a moment ago.
[13:06] ---
    --That boy is...
    --You've figured it out?
[13:11] ---
    I don't know what I'm going
    to do with my stepmother.
[13:14] ---
    She loves to talk.
[13:16] ---
    Earlier, just for a moment,
    I sensed an odd bloodlust.
[13:21] ---
    I've felt it before, somewhere...
[13:22] ---
    However, now I remember it clearly.
[13:25] ---
    It's the same sensation as when
    the Homunculus "Gluttony"
[13:28] ---
    surprised me from behind.
[13:31] ---
    Selim Bradley...
[13:33] ---
    Just who exactly are you?
[13:36] ---
    You've got a lot of guts, asking my true identity,
[13:39] ---
    under these circumstances,
[13:41] ---
    Lieutenant Hawkeye.
[13:43] ---
    You also show keen judgment
    in not drawing your gun.
[13:48] ---
    You would be unable to beat me.
[13:51] ---
    Are you a Homunculus, like Gluttony?
[13:55] ---
    No, I sense a pressure coming from you
[13:57] ---
    that Gluttony couldn't hold a candle to.
[14:01] ---
    It offends me that you would even
    consider us to be on the same level.
[14:06] ---
    My name is Pride, the First Homunculus.
[14:21] ---
    The First Homunculus--
    that's what you called yourself, right?
[14:24] ---
    What does that mean?
[14:25] ---
    Just what I said.
[14:29] ---
    You tried to extract even a
    little information, did you?
[14:32] ---
    You really are gutsy, aren't you?
[14:34] ---
    Are you sure you won't become one of us?
[14:38] ---
    One of you? You just want more pawns, right?
[14:41] ---
    I see. That is too bad. Well, then...
[14:51] ---
    I'd rather you didn't make such empty threats.
[14:55] ---
    There is no meaning in
    killing your hostage, right?
[14:59] ---
    How well you understand things.
[15:03] ---
    However, Lieutenant Hawkeye,
[15:06] ---
    I will always be watching you, from your shadow.
[15:22] ---
    Business, you say?
[15:24] ---
    Yes, as a State Alchemist.
[15:29] ---
    There are three directives
    from the Fuhrer. Number one:
[15:33] ---
    To search for Scar. Just find him.
[15:36] ---
    Disposing of him is my job. Number two:
[15:40] ---
    Likewise, search for Doctor Marcoh,
    who has potentially fled with Scar.
[15:45] ---
    Doctor Marcoh is with Scar?
[15:47] ---
    Again, after you find them,
    the rest will be my task.
[15:50] ---
    And number three:
[15:52] ---
    To carve out a crest of blood here at Briggs.
[15:55] ---
    Carve out a crest of blood?
[15:58] ---
    Like what happened in Ishval.
[16:00] ---
    Kill people, and etch the land
    with hatred and sorrow.
[16:05] ---
    There's no way I could...!
[16:14] ---
    You became a Dog of the Military
    without the resolve to kill others?
[16:18] ---
    No, the resolve not to kill others.
[16:21] ---
    The resolve not to kill others. Hmm.
[16:24] ---
    There'd be veracity if you adhere to that, as well.
[16:28] ---
    Are you working with them,
    aware of what they're trying to do?
[16:32] ---
    --They're going to...
    --I want to see how the world changes.
[16:35] ---
    Huh?
[16:37] ---
    Resolve and resolve, will and will. Life and life.
[16:41] ---
    Humans and Homunculi. Which one will win?
[16:44] ---
    What will the world choose?
[16:48] ---
    If humans perish under the Homunculi,
[16:50] ---
    who call themselves "evolved humans,"
[16:53] ---
    that would be an historic moment.
    I just want to see it through.
[16:58] ---
    How can you, a human,
    take sides with the Homunculi?
[17:02] ---
    Because they let me use my
    alchemy without any reservation.
[17:07] ---
    You're off your rocker.
[17:09] ---
    I know that I'm a heretic.
[17:12] ---
    However, if someone like me survives,
[17:15] ---
    it means that the world will have chosen me.
[17:18] ---
    I stake my survival--
[17:20] ---
    indeed, my very existence on this battle.
[17:23] ---
    There is no life worth living as much as this one.
[17:28] ---
    I don't get it.
[17:32] ---
    Oh, that's a shame.
[17:34] ---
    I thought that all alchemists were self-centered.
[17:40] ---
    Well then, I shall speak to the
    part that is at your self-center.
[17:46] ---
    You want this so badly, you can taste it.
[17:50] ---
    If you accept this job, I will give it to you.
[17:54] ---
    A Philosopher's Stone!
[18:02] ---
    Let me talk to Al and Winry.
[18:05] ---
    Miss Winry, too?
[18:08] ---
    I haven't told her anything.
[18:10] ---
    Regardless of the job, I don't
    want to betray her by lying.
[18:16] ---
    Very well. I will accompany you,
[18:18] ---
    to make sure you do not tell her too much.
[18:30] ---
    Winry, you are in a hostage situation right now.
[18:34] ---
    How so?
[18:36] ---
    What is he talking about? Is this a joke?
[18:40] ---
    Listen to me.
[18:42] ---
    I am being ordered from higher up
    to go to work as a human weapon.
[18:46] ---
    As such, I may have to assist in a mass murder.
[18:51] ---
    You have to refuse!
[18:54] ---
    Ah, that's why I'm...
[19:00] ---
    Oh, no. I'm serving to shackle you.
[19:06] ---
    I won't cry!
[19:08] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:10] ---
    I'm upset at myself for being so happy-go-lucky.
[19:14] ---
    How did this...
[19:15] ---
    All you guys wanted to do was
    get your original bodies back.
[19:20] ---
    About that-- if I help with the operation,
[19:23] ---
    I can get a Philosopher's Stone.
[19:25] ---
    Eh?! A Stone?! But...
[19:27] ---
    Kimblee has it.
[19:28] ---
    Not that! The ingredients for a Stone are--
[19:31] ---
    I know!
[19:42] ---
    You do whatever you want to.
[19:44] ---
    Yeah.
[19:51] ---
    That settles it. I'll take the job.
[19:55] ---
    Let me search for Scar first.
[19:57] ---
    Ho? Why is that?
[20:00] ---
    Scar killed Winry's parents.
[20:03] ---
    I want to avenge them.
[20:05] ---
    I see. Very well.
[20:07] ---
    Also, I'm taking Al with me.
    Him being the way he is,
[20:12] ---
    Scar's bodily destruction won't work on him.
[20:14] ---
    Ho, that is handy.
[20:18] ---
    Al, are you sure?
[20:21] ---
    A Philosopher's Stone is made
    by sacrificing many lives.
[20:32] ---
    It's all right.
[20:34] ---
    Brother doesn't intend to use it.
[20:37] ---
    Right now, we're investigating the possibility
[20:39] ---
    of using Xingese alkahestry
    to get our bodies back.
[20:42] ---
    There's a girl who uses alkahestry
    that appears to be working with Scar.
[20:48] ---
    Then, he's going to act like he's going after Scar,
[20:50] ---
    to get to this girl?
[20:51] ---
    Mm-hmm, probably.
[20:53] ---
    I see.
[20:57] ---
    In that case, I have to come up
    with a better-sounding excuse, too.
[21:14] ---
    We'll head to the place
    Scar was last spotted first.
[21:18] ---
    Very good.
[21:19] ---
    Hey, there! Let me squeeze in!
[21:26] ---
    Al! Move over a little more that way!
[21:30] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[21:33] ---
    Miss Winry,
[21:34] ---
    please wait at the fort.
    We aren't here for the fun of it.
[21:38] ---
    I know!
[21:39] ---
    But I just switched his automail, right?
[21:42] ---
    We don't want him to have any malfunctions,
[21:44] ---
    and if I don't come along
    to perform maintenance,
[21:47] ---
    it would tarnish the Rockbell
    name if anything were to happen.
[21:53] ---
    You're as earnest about your
    work as ever, huh? Workaholic!
[21:57] ---
    You bet I am!
[21:58] ---
    --We've been a highly trusted
    operation since my great-granddad!
    --All right, very well.
[22:02] ---
    --I know, you're a family of gearheads!
    --I will permit you to accompany us.
[22:04] ---
    Gearheads is fine!
[22:16] ---
    There's no telling what will happen.
[22:19] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[22:21] ---
    But I've had enough of just waiting around.
[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
[22:44] ---
    We talked until the sun came up
[22:47] ---
    and held hands until the sun went down again
[22:50] ---
    Let's keep walking together like this tomorrow,
    and the day after, in light and shadow
[22:55] ---
    In this city of lonely gazes
[23:00] ---
    where I couldn't find any warmth alone,
[23:05] ---
    I first found out that love
[23:11] ---
    could provide such strength when I met you
[23:16] ---
    However much we may wander,
    I want to meet up here again
[23:22] ---
    Hold my hand, so we don't get separated
[23:27] ---
    I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
[23:32] ---
    Let's keep lighting up the starless nights
[23:38] ---
    going someplace where no fear can reach us
[23:43] ---
    I can go on forever when I'm with you
[23:45] ---
    When we're together, I can hum as we walk along
[23:48] ---
    paths that I couldn't walk alone
[23:51] ---
    As long as you're here, I'm happy
[23:57] ---
    Against the backdrop of a mining
    town ravaged by cold winds,
[24:01] ---
    an all-out battle between
    Chimeras and humans unfolds.
[24:05] ---
    Stay alert! Give your all!
[24:08] ---
    What will be the unexpected
    outcome after the fierce battle?
[24:13] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:17] ---
    Episode 38: "Conflict at Baschool."
[24:22] ---
    At the moment of victory, one will be defenseless.
