[00:15] ---
    Along our endless journey,
[00:19] ---
    whenever it looked like we might stop,
[00:23] ---
    releasing a deep sigh,
[00:31] ---
    we'd begin to take hold of each other,
    but then come apart again
[00:37] ---
    But now, there is nothing more to fear
[00:45] ---
    The powerful ties that join our hearts
[00:52] ---
    will never be broken
[01:00] ---
    Here in this place where we have arrived
[01:08] ---
    after searching for so long, we'll place a period
[01:15] ---
    Turning our sorrow and anger to strength,
[01:23] ---
    our destiny is right beside us
[01:39] ---
    It's almost like a maze in here.
[01:41] ---
    Be careful not to get separated.
[01:43] ---
    Right.
[01:47] ---
    Ee-yow...
[01:49] ---
    Are you all right?
[01:50] ---
    Sorry.
[01:55] ---
    What's this?
[01:58] ---
    D-Dynamite!
[01:59] ---
    You're kidding!
[02:01] ---
    Nah, these are completely soaked through.
[02:04] ---
    Relax, they won't explode.
[02:09] ---
    Hey, don't dawdle around.
[02:11] ---
    There's no telling when
    someone might come after us.
[02:14] ---
    R-Right.
[02:21] ---
    It looks like the storm is over.
[02:25] ---
    --Get things ready.
    --Yes, sir.
[02:29] ---
    Kimblee, and the men he
    brought from Central--
[02:32] ---
    when you get an opening,
    take out all three of them.
[02:37] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:53] ---
    We'll carry out the mission with
    only those of us who are here.
[02:56] ---
    This is top-secret, even to the
    soldiers from Northern Command.
[02:58] ---
    Hold on. Major Miles,
    by "take out," do you mean kill?
[03:03] ---
    Of course.
[03:05] ---
    I can't go along with killing them.
[03:07] ---
    Better to keep him from using alchemy,
    and getting intel from him.
[03:10] ---
    Do you think that guy is going
    to freely tell us anything?
[03:13] ---
    It's too dangerous to keep him alive.
[03:15] ---
    Then, what about his men?
[03:17] ---
    They've been turned into Chimeras,
[03:19] ---
    and maybe they have no choice
    but to obey him, you know?
[03:22] ---
    You're right. But ultimately,
    that's still a "maybe."
[03:26] ---
    You're going to kill them just
    because you're suspicious of them?
[03:29] ---
    I mean, even in General Raven's
    case, there was no other way.
[03:32] ---
    Do not forget the law of Briggs.
    "If you get careless, you're dead."
[03:37] ---
    Your sense of mercy could cost
    you or your friends their lives.
[03:47] ---
    We don't need anyone careless in these parts.
[03:50] ---
    We're going to dispose of
    Kimblee and the other two.
[03:58] ---
    He's still a child, after all, huh?
[04:00] ---
    Yeah. But in this world,
    it's naive to stick to the idea
[04:03] ---
    of not having to kill anyone.
[04:06] ---
    Then again, I went through that phase, myself.
[04:10] ---
    So did I.
[04:12] ---
    But at our age, after living
    through a number of wars,
[04:14] ---
    you learn some things.
[04:16] ---
    Like letting someone live
    is harder than killing them.
[04:20] ---
    The Elric brothers have
    chosen the more difficult way.
[04:25] ---
    They are pretty arbitrary that way, huh?
[04:27] ---
    Yeah. But I'm kind of envious of them, too.
[04:38] ---
    What's this "rasayana" here?
[04:41] ---
    It's a miracle drug,
    from which one gains longevity.
[04:43] ---
    Hmm... The Philosopher's Stone, maybe?
[04:47] ---
    Let's see... "Changes all metals into gold,
[04:51] ---
    and returns the elderly back to their youth."
[04:54] ---
    What's "aurelian" here?
[04:56] ---
    That means gold.
[04:58] ---
    It's all about immortality and gold.
[05:01] ---
    That's because Mr. Scar's brother,
    who wrote these notes,
[05:04] ---
    was influenced by Xingese alkahestry.
[05:07] ---
    How do you mean?
[05:09] ---
    In Xing, we call an immortal
    a shinhito-- a "true person."
[05:14] ---
    It means that they are a perfect person.
[05:16] ---
    And since gold is the perfect metal,
[05:19] ---
    a shinhito is sometimes also called a "kinhito."
[05:24] ---
    I get it, so a perfect person
    is a gold person, then?
[05:30] ---
    In a sense.
[05:31] ---
    The person who brought alchemy to Xing
[05:34] ---
    was an immortal man who
    had golden hair and eyes,
[05:37] ---
    so that's apparently how
    they got to be called that.
[05:42] ---
    Gold hair and eyes-- sounds like Ed and Al.
[05:47] ---
    Hey, everyone! Over here! The exit!
[05:57] ---
    Wow, it's so bright!
[05:59] ---
    We made it safely through the mountain.
[06:02] ---
    The weather is nice.
[06:04] ---
    Let's head for Briggs now, while we can.
[06:06] ---
    All right, men, follow me--
[06:09] ---
    --Hey, help me!
    --The snow is pretty deep, huh?
[06:11] ---
    --H-Hey, help me!
    --Miss, hop on my back.
[06:14] ---
    --Hey, guys, is anyone listening?
    --We'll stomp it down and make a path for you,
[06:17] ---
    --H-Hey, help me!!
    --so you can follow behind us.
[06:19] ---
    Thanks.
[06:29] ---
    Hey!
[06:32] ---
    Hey! Help me! Somebody!
[06:37] ---
    --Al?!
    --Alphonse!
[06:40] ---
    --Oh, no! Oh, no! I'll save you!
    --Whoa, Al, are you all right?
[06:45] ---
    I'm saved!
[06:47] ---
    I got stuck here where it became
    deep, and then got buried by it.
[06:50] ---
    Al, what are you doing here?
[06:53] ---
    I crossed over the mountain to get to you first.
[06:55] ---
    You crossed over the mountain?
    In that snowstorm?
[07:01] ---
    I see. You came straight here,
    without taking any detours.
[07:05] ---
    Why would you do something so reckless?
[07:07] ---
    I have an emergency message.
[07:09] ---
    Emergency message?
[07:11] ---
    Central's forces are inside Fort Briggs.
[07:16] ---
    General Armstrong was
    apparently summoned to Central.
[07:21] ---
    As such, it's too dangerous
    to go to the fort now.
[07:26] ---
    What do we do?
[07:27] ---
    We can't very well go back.
[07:30] ---
    We'll just have to hide someplace else.
[07:33] ---
    Someplace else like where?
[07:41] ---
    Follow me.
[07:42] ---
    Where are you going?
[07:44] ---
    There's a village called Asbeck
    that shouldn't be too far from here.
[07:49] ---
    I've heard that some of my people
    are taking refuge in the slums there.
[07:53] ---
    An Ishvalan slum, huh?
[07:55] ---
    We don't appear to have any other options.
[07:58] ---
    Good going, sir! Let's go!
[08:05] ---
    But are you sure that's a good idea?
[08:07] ---
    What?
[08:08] ---
    Al, if you disappear all of a sudden,
[08:10] ---
    won't Mr. Kimblee be suspicious?
[08:12] ---
    It's okay, it's okay.
[08:14] ---
    Brother will take care of that.
[08:17] ---
    Squad 3, three men.
[08:19] ---
    Squad 4, five men.
[08:21] ---
    All right, that's everyone.
[08:23] ---
    Okay, each of you,
    commence searching your areas.
[08:26] ---
    --Sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[08:32] ---
    --Let's go.
    --Yes, sir.
[08:35] ---
    Hey now, Alphonse...
[08:37] ---
    You mean "right," don't you?
[08:41] ---
    Man, I tell you, it's hard to
    move around in this, Edward.
[08:45] ---
    Please manage to somehow.
    Come on, Kimblee is watching.
[08:50] ---
    Just a minute, Brother!
[08:52] ---
    Walk faster.
[09:02] ---
    Hey, where are Kimblee
    and the others searching?
[09:05] ---
    There's that huge mineshaft
    in the center of town, right?
[09:08] ---
    He said he was going in there,
    to search the tunnels.
[09:13] ---
    He said he couldn't trust the northern soldiers,
[09:15] ---
    so he was only taking the
    men he brought from Central.
[09:18] ---
    Tch, he's caught on, has he?
[09:22] ---
    We'll head him off. Secure
    sniping positions near the shaft.
[09:26] ---
    Yes, sir.
[09:37] ---
    Search the entrance to the tunnel.
[09:39] ---
    If there are multiple sets of footprints,
    then there's no doubt.
[09:42] ---
    Yes, sir.
[09:47] ---
    --Can you do it?
    --Yes, at this distance...
[09:55] ---
    What's the matter?
[09:57] ---
    --It's Edward.
    --What?
[10:05] ---
    Kimblee, if you're going
    to check out the tunnels,
[10:07] ---
    shouldn't you leave that to the Briggs soldiers?
[10:10] ---
    It runs pretty deep in there.
[10:13] ---
    The fact that you're intentionally
    stopping me proves they're here.
[10:19] ---
    What do you mean?
    I want to get Scar as fast as--
[10:22] ---
    Or are you buying time until
    the snipers get into position?
[10:28] ---
    You knew about that?
[10:30] ---
    With as much bloodlust filling
    the air around us, I knew.
[10:34] ---
    I didn't survive the Ishvalan War
    because of my good looks.
[10:37] ---
    It looks like they're talking
    to each other. What do I do?
[10:41] ---
    Can you target just Kimblee?
[10:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:44] ---
    Take careful aim and fire.
[10:46] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:58] ---
    That bastard! He's using
    the snow to obstruct the view!
[11:01] ---
    Damn.
[11:05] ---
    Kimblee!
[11:08] ---
    Why, you...!
[11:26] ---
    You fellows are Chimeras, too?
[12:03] ---
    That bastard...
[12:04] ---
    I can't see anything. But then,
    the other guys can't see, either.
[12:08] ---
    The odds are even--
[12:11] ---
    Come quietly, Fullmetal Alchemist.
[12:15] ---
    You can't escape from our
    sharp noses in this poor visibility.
[12:21] ---
    Shut up!
[12:30] ---
    Fullmetal!
[12:33] ---
    What's going on?!
    Where are you?! Answer me!
[12:37] ---
    Major Miles?
[12:39] ---
    There are Chimeras here!
[12:40] ---
    And they're accustomed to
    fighting in poor visibility!
[12:43] ---
    Don't come inside the snow cloud!
[12:56] ---
    Yow! Damn it, I'm gonna be even shorter!
[13:03] ---
    Dynamite?
[13:05] ---
    That's a mine for you.
[13:12] ---
    Whoa! Don't come too close!
    You know what this is, right?
[13:16] ---
    --You idiot.
    --That stuff is too damp to be of any help to you.
[13:20] ---
    Fellows, do you know
    what dynamite is made of?
[13:25] ---
    Nitroglycerin?
[13:26] ---
    Nitroglycol, wood flour,
    ammonium nitrate, and so forth?
[13:32] ---
    Okay, and what is the
    ammonium nitrate made of?
[13:36] ---
    That's easy. Nitric acid and ammonia.
[13:42] ---
    Ammonia?!
[13:46] ---
    Pee-yew!
[13:56] ---
    What is that smell?
[13:57] ---
    Ammonia. Having too sharp a
    nose can be a problem, too.
[14:02] ---
    These guys aren't any use to you anymore.
[14:06] ---
    This is what happens, the moment
    your hostage concerns are gone?
[14:10] ---
    Whatever do you mean?
[14:12] ---
    I'm just trying to get you to
    spill everything you know.
[14:17] ---
    Well, well, aren't you the hot-blooded one?
[14:20] ---
    Facing a youngster like you while
    I'm on the mend will be quite taxing.
[14:24] ---
    I don't have time to mess with you, either.
[14:29] ---
    How about I make use of this?
[14:32] ---
    He brought it out on his own.
[14:39] ---
    He's fast!
[14:49] ---
    Too slow!
[14:54] ---
    He has no Philosopher's Stone,
[14:56] ---
    and he can't use his transmutation circles!
[14:58] ---
    --Now I've...
    --You've won!
[15:01] ---
    That's what you're thinking, right?
[15:03] ---
    The resolve not to kill. It is a fine policy.
[15:07] ---
    However, on the battlefield,
[15:09] ---
    it's something that can be taken advantage of.
[15:12] ---
    You should have finished me off just then.
[15:20] ---
    That sense of mercy will be
    the reason for your defeat.
[16:02] ---
    I fell down the mine shaft?
[16:08] ---
    Why that rotten... He took us down, too...!
[16:12] ---
    Damn it, where did Kimblee go?
[16:22] ---
    Hey, you're kidding, right?
[16:48] ---
    Al, what's the matter?
[16:50] ---
    Alphonse!
[16:52] ---
    Al!
[16:54] ---
    Yikes... I'm being pulled away again...
[16:58] ---
    --Eh? What do you mean, pulled away? Al!
    --Hey, what's the matter, armor guy?
[17:03] ---
    My soul...
[17:06] ---
    ...is being pulled over...
[17:10] ---
    Al! Al!
[17:12] ---
    --His soul is being pulled away?
    --Alphonse!
[17:14] ---
    --Miss, has anything like this happened before?
    --Alphonse! Stay with us!
[17:18] ---
    --I don't know. Al!
    --Alphonse!
[17:21] ---
    Al, wake up!
[17:24] ---
    No... Al! Al!
[17:28] ---
    What do we do? What do we do?!
[17:32] ---
    Ed!
[17:43] ---
    I can't make her cry over
    something like this, can I?
[18:06] ---
    Damn that Kimblee!
[18:13] ---
    Hey, Fullmetal! Are you alive?
    Why did you save us?
[18:18] ---
    You're more seriously injured
    than we are, aren't you?
[18:21] ---
    Don't get me wrong...
[18:25] ---
    I need someone... to pull
    this thing stuck in my side...
[18:29] ---
    ...out of me... or I've had it...
[18:33] ---
    You want us to pull that beam out?
    But we're the enemy.
[18:37] ---
    Yeah... please...
[18:44] ---
    Well, we don't have any
    orders to kill you, or anything.
[18:48] ---
    Here.
[18:50] ---
    But as soon as I pull that out,
[18:52] ---
    you're gonna lose a lot of blood,
    and then it's lights out.
[18:55] ---
    The moment you pull it out...
    I'll close it up with alchemy...
[18:59] ---
    ...before I lose too much blood...
[19:01] ---
    What? Do you have any experience
    in performing medical alchemy?
[19:06] ---
    Long ago... when I tried to
    perform human transmutation...
[19:11] ---
    I researched it briefly...
[19:13] ---
    Briefly? Your internal organs
    are probably all torn up.
[19:17] ---
    Without a Philosopher's Stone or
    something, like Mr. Kimblee has...
[19:22] ---
    I'll use my own life... in place
    of a Philosopher's Stone...
[19:28] ---
    It may shorten my life a little bit, though.
[19:32] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[19:33] ---
    This is no time for debate.
[19:36] ---
    If this is the outcome of my sense of mercy,
[19:39] ---
    then I've gotta wipe my own ass.
[19:44] ---
    I'm not sure how you mean,
    but this is no time for debate.
[19:49] ---
    I'll pull it out.
[19:57] ---
    Okay, pull it.
[19:59] ---
    Think of your life as a sort of energy form!
[20:09] ---
    The same as... a Philosopher's Stone!
[20:16] ---
    That's it! Right now, I am a
    one-soul-sized Philosopher's Stone!
[20:25] ---
    Remember... how it felt... back then...
[20:31] ---
    How it felt... to use... life...!
[20:57] ---
    Is he dead?
[21:01] ---
    Don't go writing me off.
[21:03] ---
    Oh, it worked?
[21:05] ---
    I'm not completely healed... but I
    spliced together a working system...
[21:12] ---
    ...and for now... this jury-rigging
    has at least stopped the bleeding.
[21:16] ---
    Then, you need to have a doctor look at you.
[21:19] ---
    No... there's no time for that...
[21:23] ---
    H-Hey!
[21:24] ---
    I have to go after Kimblee...
    or the others will be at risk...
[21:33] ---
    Geez...
[21:34] ---
    Fool, there's no way you can
    fight and win in your shape.
[21:42] ---
    What is it?
[21:45] ---
    Whoa.
[21:46] ---
    A Philosopher's Stone, huh?
    That's the one Mr. Kimblee had.
[21:50] ---
    We don't need to call that
    freak "Mister" anything.
[21:53] ---
    Not after he got us tangled up in this, too.
[21:55] ---
    You're right. What do you say
    we bid that bastard farewell now?
[22:00] ---
    Yeah. We'll let him think we
    died here, and become free men.
[22:05] ---
    So, what do we do about him?
[22:09] ---
    We can't just let him die, right?
    We owe him our lives, after all.
[22:15] ---
    Yeah.
[22:17] ---
    Once we get outside, we'll have
    to find him a doctor, right away.
[22:20] ---
    Yeah.
[22:41] ---
    A promise that we would have never made
[22:45] ---
    will seek to take our future from us again today
[22:52] ---
    Why is it that even though
    we got what we wanted,
[22:56] ---
    we are unable to offer an honest smile?
[23:03] ---
    These tears welling up
    are fragments born of pain,
[23:08] ---
    not of weakness or regret
[23:14] ---
    Whatever moment, whatever fate I face,
[23:18] ---
    I've learned that one thing is certain
[23:26] ---
    Whatever limits, whatever hardship I face,
[23:29] ---
    I don't want to give up
[23:33] ---
    Don't let me go
[23:38] ---
    The warmth of your right hand that I held so tight
[23:46] ---
    is still here with me
[23:58] ---
    It is an unexpected notion and faculty
[24:00] ---
    that will break through the current situation,
[24:03] ---
    and open the way.
[24:05] ---
    The one who realizes the hidden truth
[24:07] ---
    will take hold of the key to victory.
[24:09] ---
    But only after the accruement of many days.
[24:15] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:19] ---
    Episode 42: "Signs of a Counteroffensive."
[24:23] ---
    The war begins now.
