[01:49] ---
    Here's that expression again, May.
[01:52] ---
    That word must also mean "gold," huh?
[01:55] ---
    What are you doing?
[01:58] ---
    We're checking to see if there is a hidden code.
[02:02] ---
    Code?
[02:03] ---
    In order to make sure regular people
    can't decode their notes easily,
[02:07] ---
    alchemists use metaphor and
    allegory to conceal their content.
[02:11] ---
    However, in the case of these research notes,
[02:13] ---
    there doesn't seem to be any of that.
[02:15] ---
    So, because of all the phrases
    that mean "gold" and "immortality,"
[02:19] ---
    we thought we might change
    our way of investigating them.
[02:23] ---
    So, have you figured anything out?
[02:25] ---
    Nothing.
[02:30] ---
    --Where am I?
    --Al!
[02:32] ---
    --Al!
    --Thank goodness!
[02:34] ---
    I didn't know what I would do if
    you didn't regain consciousness.
[02:37] ---
    Oh, sorry. I must have worried you, huh?
[02:41] ---
    By the way, why have I been taken apart?
[02:47] ---
    So there you have it.
[02:49] ---
    You were too big for us to move
    with one of us carrying you.
[02:53] ---
    So, we dismantled you.
[02:55] ---
    Sorry. I guess I put you all out.
[02:59] ---
    Has anything like this ever happened before?
[03:02] ---
    Mm-hmm. Once, before coming here.
[03:07] ---
    Well, it can't be very convenient
    for you to be taken apart.
[03:11] ---
    Let's put you back together.
[03:14] ---
    Yes, please do.
[03:16] ---
    Would you hold onto this for a bit?
[03:21] ---
    Let's see...
[03:24] ---
    This part goes...
[03:25] ---
    That's his right arm, right?
[03:27] ---
    Ah, right. Can't have him matching
    up the wrong way, after all.
[03:34] ---
    In pieces...
[03:36] ---
    Matching up...
[03:49] ---
    Whoa, May!
[03:51] ---
    Ah, how could you pull it apart like that?!
[04:00] ---
    By changing the way it matches up...
[04:03] ---
    I was thinking, what if I
    tried overlapping the parts
[04:06] ---
    of the phrases that mean
    "gold" and "immortality"?
[04:15] ---
    "Golden man." This phrase was over there.
[04:20] ---
    "Immortality"... overlaps here.
[04:23] ---
    "Perfect person"... there it is, there it is.
[04:27] ---
    Give me those pages, Marcoh.
[04:29] ---
    That one connects over here.
[04:31] ---
    Is there a "golden person"?
[04:33] ---
    Yes there is. Right here.
[04:38] ---
    This is the last one.
[04:47] ---
    Ah, I wonder if...
[04:57] ---
    Is that...?
[05:01] ---
    The countrywide... transmutation circle...
[05:05] ---
    What good does it do, finding this now?
[05:08] ---
    What does this mean?
[05:09] ---
    Does this mean that the research
    notes are no help at all?
[05:12] ---
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[05:14] ---
    What's gonna happen to us--
    no, the whole country?
[05:18] ---
    I'm sorry. I was naive to think
[05:21] ---
    that the way to take this critical situation
[05:23] ---
    and turn it around would be
    found in someone else's research.
[05:29] ---
    Brother, is this what you wanted to tell me?
[05:35] ---
    Brother, knowing you, didn't you
    arrive at anything beyond this?
[05:42] ---
    There's still something here.
[05:45] ---
    We didn't realize that we needed to pull it apart.
[05:48] ---
    If there was still something...
    still something hidden, it wouldn't surprise me!
[06:04] ---
    Wah! Hey, what are you thinking?!
[06:06] ---
    It's not my fault it's so cold!
[06:08] ---
    And even without it, I'm sensitive to the cold.
[06:11] ---
    Who cares?!
[06:12] ---
    Ah, you can't even tell which side
    is face-up or down anymore.
[06:19] ---
    Geez, you've flipped these over like crazy.
[06:22] ---
    That might be it!
[06:24] ---
    Take the critical situation, and turn it around!
[06:27] ---
    Face-up and face-down!
[06:28] ---
    Take what we just had and
    flip the pages upside-down!
[06:41] ---
    Well?
[06:43] ---
    That was it.
[06:44] ---
    This is a new Amestrisian countrywide
[06:48] ---
    transmutation circle that
    incorporates alkahestry.
[07:08] ---
    There doesn't seem to be any trace
    of anyone passing through here.
[07:11] ---
    Perhaps I've come the wrong way.
[07:14] ---
    I guess I'll go back.
[07:51] ---
    So that's it.
[07:53] ---
    This place must have been
    used to remove the rubble
[07:57] ---
    from the tunnel that Sloth is digging.
[08:04] ---
    You are the Crimson Alchemist, right?
[08:07] ---
    Pleased to meet you. I am Pride.
[08:11] ---
    Did you need something from me?
[08:14] ---
    How is the Scar matter coming?
[08:17] ---
    I am pursuing him now.
[08:19] ---
    Deal with him later. Carve out
    the crest of blood at Briggs first.
[08:25] ---
    Forgive me for saying so, but the
    monolithic nature and strength
[08:28] ---
    of Briggs' soldiers are quite considerable.
[08:31] ---
    It is not going to be an easy task.
[08:33] ---
    Make use of their strength.
[08:41] ---
    The tunnel that Sloth is
    digging is almost complete.
[08:46] ---
    Very well. I will carve out
    the crest of blood for you...
[08:52] ---
    ...at Fort Briggs.
[09:08] ---
    We've been expecting you.
[09:10] ---
    Any change to report?
[09:12] ---
    Not especially. Never mind us,
    I heard that Kimblee went missing.
[09:16] ---
    Is that true?
[09:18] ---
    Yeah. There was an explosion
    big enough to collapse the tunnels.
[09:22] ---
    Kimblee and several others are missing.
[09:25] ---
    We did a thorough search, but ultimately,
    no one's body turned up.
[09:32] ---
    Were the "several others" Briggs' soldiers?
[09:36] ---
    No, they were Kimblee's two men...
[09:41] ---
    ...and the Fullmetal Alchemist.
[09:48] ---
    I see. Chief Fullmetal, huh?
[09:52] ---
    I hope he's all right.
[09:53] ---
    Yeah.
[09:55] ---
    How are things in the west?
[09:58] ---
    What can I tell you?
[09:59] ---
    The border war at Pendleton was a real mess.
[10:03] ---
    The way they were fighting, I can only guess
[10:05] ---
    they were intentionally racking up the KIAs.
[10:09] ---
    The military seems to be taking
    the initiative in making this bloody
[10:12] ---
    so they can create the
    transmutation circle, just like you said.
[10:15] ---
    Have you gotten any word from
    Sergeant Fuery, in the south?
[10:19] ---
    A little while ago, by phone.
[10:22] ---
    He said they were exchanging
    fire with the Aerugo forces,
[10:25] ---
    down in southern Fotcett.
[10:43] ---
    R-Run, Thomas! Don't let up!
[10:46] ---
    Thoma--
[10:54] ---
    Damn it!
[10:56] ---
    I'm gonna survive!
[10:58] ---
    I'm gonna survive, no matter what!
[11:05] ---
    Is that right?
[11:07] ---
    That's how it is for us redheaded
    stepchildren from Mustang's old squad.
[11:12] ---
    Are you in touch with the colonel?
[11:14] ---
    Yes, we're using a messenger
    with ties to the Armstrong family.
[11:21] ---
    Okay. Sounds like it's rough
    up north, too, so watch yourself.
[11:25] ---
    Yes, you could say it's "rough."
[11:29] ---
    Their men are up here, working steadily
[11:32] ---
    to turn this country into a hell on earth,
[11:35] ---
    and there isn't a single thing we can do about it.
[11:50] ---
    I've connected...
[11:54] ---
    Can I stop... working now... Pride?
[12:03] ---
    It's almost time.
[12:06] ---
    The day is nearly at hand.
[12:27] ---
    Everyone!
[12:29] ---
    Time to eat! Please line up!
[12:37] ---
    Rose, I'd like to have meat pie sometime.
[12:41] ---
    I'll make some, once I get the ingredients.
[12:43] ---
    I can't wait.
[12:46] ---
    I haven't worked, but would you
    give me some for these children?
[12:54] ---
    Of course. Have some as well, ma'am.
[13:01] ---
    It looks so good!
[13:03] ---
    Rose, a heaping helping, if you please.
[13:05] ---
    I can't do that. Everyone gets an equal portion.
[13:09] ---
    Um... excuse me...
[13:12] ---
    M-May I have some too, please?
[13:22] ---
    Wow, you've saved me.
    Thanks, that was delicious.
[13:27] ---
    Where did you come from?
[13:29] ---
    I didn't come from anywhere.
    I wander around here and there.
[13:35] ---
    What did you come all the way out here for?
[13:37] ---
    You do know about the disturbance
    that took place here, right?
[13:41] ---
    There isn't anything in this
    town anymore because of it.
[13:48] ---
    Despite there being such delicious food?
[13:54] ---
    I'm flattered that you would say so,
[13:58] ---
    but this is about the extent of what I can do.
[14:01] ---
    I wouldn't say that.
[14:04] ---
    A hot meal and a young lady's smile
    give strength to everyone.
[14:14] ---
    Oh, right...
[14:16] ---
    I hate to ask after imposing so much already,
[14:19] ---
    but I'm looking for a church.
[14:22] ---
    Church?
[14:24] ---
    Yes. The home of Letoism, which
    was the cause of the disturbance.
[14:37] ---
    It's just what you see. You go in
    there now, and there's nothing left.
[14:42] ---
    Would there happen to be a
    passage that leads underground?
[14:45] ---
    Y-Yes, there is.
[14:54] ---
    What's this?
[14:55] ---
    Toxic water. It happened
    before anyone realized it.
[15:04] ---
    It's all set up so that no normal
    person can go any farther, is it?
[15:10] ---
    --Let me see.
    --Wait!
[15:11] ---
    You'll die if you go in there!
[15:21] ---
    It's a miracle...
[15:23] ---
    No it isn't, it's alchemy, isn't it?
[15:29] ---
    I'm going to go a little farther in.
    Would you wait there for me?
[15:52] ---
    It's huge.
[15:54] ---
    Sheesh, they went all-out in making this.
[16:03] ---
    Found it right off the bat, huh?
[16:24] ---
    Oh, my, didn't even slow you down.
[16:27] ---
    In that case...
[16:30] ---
    ...let me try to contain you.
[16:38] ---
    Oh, dear.
[16:44] ---
    I don't know what to do now.
[16:51] ---
    Yow!
[17:04] ---
    What's the matter? Aren't you coming after me?
[17:09] ---
    Your appearance... You're Van Hohenheim?
[17:14] ---
    It would seem that your
    receptacle only comes this far.
[17:20] ---
    If you leave here, you'll die, will you?
[17:24] ---
    You'll die if you transgress
    some fixed line, won't you?
[17:28] ---
    Just like the flask, way back when.
[17:33] ---
    It looks to me like you can only
    act within the heart of Central
[17:36] ---
    and in these tunnels. How about it?
[17:41] ---
    Have I guessed right?
[17:45] ---
    What's the matter? Why don't you
    say something, you shrinking violet?
[17:53] ---
    Are you angry?
[17:55] ---
    Anger... does not exist within me.
[18:01] ---
    And it isn't just anger.
[18:04] ---
    I left all of my unnecessary
    emotions within my father.
[18:07] ---
    My name is Pride.
[18:10] ---
    Pride. I see. The Arrogant.
[18:18] ---
    They say that man is possessed of seven sins:
[18:21] ---
    lust,
[18:23] ---
    greed,
[18:25] ---
    sloth,
[18:27] ---
    gluttony,
[18:29] ---
    envy,
[18:31] ---
    wrath,
[18:33] ---
    and pride.
[18:38] ---
    So that makes you, "Pride," the first
    one he cut loose from himself.
[18:44] ---
    To think that he would take
    the care to cut you loose
[18:47] ---
    with an appearance similar
    to when he was in the flask.
[18:50] ---
    That is the very form of his proud, arrogant self.
[18:54] ---
    It's the essence of your father.
[18:58] ---
    Would you like to come to where my father is?
[19:02] ---
    Don't be in such a hurry.
    I will be coming, invited or not.
[19:08] ---
    Give him a message.
[19:10] ---
    Tell him Slave No. 23 will
    be coming to see him soon.
[19:15] ---
    Tell him to sit back in his chair
    in Central and wait for me.
[19:22] ---
    Yes, I am waiting for you,
[19:25] ---
    Van Hohenheim.
[19:39] ---
    Ah, he's coming back!
[19:45] ---
    Did you find something?
[19:46] ---
    Mm-hmm. Regular people shouldn't
    go near there. It's too dangerous.
[19:52] ---
    Please tell everyone not to go in there.
[20:00] ---
    What did you do in there?
[20:06] ---
    Made a declaration of war.
[20:13] ---
    You're relieved.
[20:14] ---
    We've been waiting for you.
    This snowstorm has been terrible.
[20:18] ---
    Now then, I think I'll go get some lousy coffee.
[20:22] ---
    Good work--
[20:31] ---
    H-Hey...!
[20:33] ---
    That couldn't possibly be...
[20:37] ---
    It's Drachma!
[20:42] ---
    Drachma has declared an outbreak
    of hostilities from the north!
[20:45] ---
    All personnel, prepare for combat!
[20:47] ---
    Repeat, Drachma has declared an
    outbreak of hostilities from the north!
[20:51] ---
    All personnel, prepare for combat!
[21:08] ---
    Lucky for us, the Northern Wall of Briggs isn't in.
[21:13] ---
    Huh, Mr. Kimblee?
[21:15] ---
    Additionally, many of our
    own men are inside the fort.
[21:20] ---
    Once the fighting starts, they'll turn on them,
[21:23] ---
    and then there will be chaos inside the fort.
[21:28] ---
    After not being able to cross Briggs for so long,
[21:33] ---
    today is the day that Drachma will capture it!
[21:35] ---
    Now, to decree war.
[21:39] ---
    What do you say we launch
    our fireworks in style?
[21:43] ---
    All cannons, prepare to fire!
[21:55] ---
    Fire!
[22:14] ---
    Kawashita hazu no nai yakusoku ga

    Koko ni aru kara
[23:32] ---
    Yeah. My name is Zampano.
    I'm one of Kimblee's men.
[23:37] ---
    Dr. Marcoh is hiding in
    the slums of Asbeck Village.
[23:41] ---
    You were right to tell me this, Zampano.
[23:44] ---
    I will guarantee your safety.
[23:51] ---
    Marcoh!
[23:54] ---
    This is starting to get interesting.
[23:58] ---
    A nefarious soul brings about calamity,
[24:01] ---
    and the pride of determination
    brings with it its own scars.
[24:06] ---
    However, it cannot be avoided.
[24:08] ---
    Not if one is to be reborn.
[24:11] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:15] ---
    Episode 43: "Bite of the Ant."
[24:20] ---
    The snowy plain is stained in red.
[24:23] ---
    The color of blood, shed in defense.
