[00:14] ---
    Where are you, Mr. Kimblee?
[00:19] ---
    T-This isn't what we agreed to!
[00:22] ---
    You said that if we attacked,
    there would be turncoats at Briggs!
[00:33] ---
    Cease fire!
[00:37] ---
    An overwhelming victory, huh?
[00:39] ---
    Yeah.
[00:42] ---
    It's like...
[00:48] ---
    A crest of blood.
[01:12] ---
    Along our endless journey,
[01:16] ---
    whenever it looked like we might stop,
[01:20] ---
    releasing a deep sigh,
[01:28] ---
    we'd begin to take hold of each other,
    but then come apart again
[01:34] ---
    But now, there is nothing more to fear
[01:42] ---
    The powerful ties that join our hearts
[01:49] ---
    will never be broken
[01:57] ---
    Here in this place where we have arrived
[02:05] ---
    after searching for so long, we'll place a period
[02:12] ---
    Turning our sorrow and anger to strength,
[02:20] ---
    our destiny is right beside us
[02:33] ---
    I told you!
[02:35] ---
    In alkahestry, you read the dragon's pulse!
[02:39] ---
    And I'm telling you, I don't
    know what that means!
[02:42] ---
    You have to sharpen your senses!
[02:45] ---
    And... go! There, I sense it!
[02:47] ---
    I told you, I can't!
[02:49] ---
    Yes, you can!
[02:50] ---
    Explain it to me more academically!
[02:52] ---
    --You have to go whoomph!
    --They sure are lively.
[02:53] ---
    --I don't know what you mean!
    --Sorry to have to hide out here.
[02:56] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    We're getting something out of it, too.
[03:03] ---
    M-My hair! Stop that!
[03:05] ---
    The children have someone else to play with.
[03:11] ---
    --Help me!
    --Tell Zampano that I'm going off
[03:14] ---
    to the mountains to get some firewood.
[03:17] ---
    Damn it!
[03:20] ---
    What a terrible predicament!
    Everyone else is working,
[03:24] ---
    so where did that bastard Zampano go off to?!
[03:33] ---
    Hey.
[03:37] ---
    This way. I'll take you there.
[03:40] ---
    Please do, Zampano.
[03:50] ---
    I understand you've found out about Selim.
[03:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:56] ---
    And my own true identity, as well.
[03:59] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:04] ---
    As one of this country's people,
[04:06] ---
    how do you feel about its leader
    and his son being Homunculi?
[04:12] ---
    I think it's sad that the family
    in whom I've trusted is fictitious.
[04:21] ---
    You're a make-believe family,
[04:23] ---
    pretending to be the humans
    that you sneer at as fools.
[04:27] ---
    It's true, my "son" was given
    to me from someone higher up.
[04:31] ---
    Everything, from my position
    as Fuhrer to all of my men,
[04:34] ---
    were given to me.
[04:36] ---
    You might say I'm a make-believe potentate.
[04:40] ---
    However, my wife, at least, is someone I chose.
[04:46] ---
    Is the tea ready yet?
[04:47] ---
    Oh, y-yes, sir.
[04:57] ---
    Mm, delicious.
[05:05] ---
    Oh yeah, Doctor? You were one of
    the bigwigs at the 5th Laboratory?
[05:10] ---
    I was no bigwig. I just had
    some men working under me.
[05:16] ---
    I wonder how they are doing now.
[05:20] ---
    Hey!
[05:27] ---
    Who is that gentleman?
[05:28] ---
    A drifter that I met this morning.
[05:31] ---
    He says he wants to get
    examined by you, Doctor.
[05:33] ---
    That's enough, Zampano.
[05:35] ---
    You can stop with the third-rate acting.
[05:40] ---
    Good day to you, Doctor. What might
    you be doing in a place like this?
[05:47] ---
    You maggot. Trying to put one
    over on me was wishful thinking.
[05:54] ---
    W-What is this?!
[05:58] ---
    Zampano!
[06:01] ---
    I can stop with the third-rate acting, right?
[06:04] ---
    Our goal from the outset was to lure you here.
[06:10] ---
    As nasty as you are, I knew that
    if you found out I was still alive,
[06:14] ---
    you'd come after me all on your own.
[06:16] ---
    Ha! What can you three
    pieces of trash do to me?!
[06:19] ---
    No matter how many of you
    gang up, trash is still trash!
[06:26] ---
    They're like landmines.
    Alchemy evolves day by day.
[06:32] ---
    There's no such thing as this kind of alchemy--
[06:39] ---
    Damn it! If these are landmines,
[06:42] ---
    then if I trace your footsteps,
    I won't set them off!
[06:49] ---
    How?!
[06:52] ---
    They only respond to Homunculi.
[06:56] ---
    Thanks to the snow, you can't tell
    what's waiting in store for you.
[07:00] ---
    Well? How does it feel to be made a mockery of
[07:04] ---
    by someone you treated like scum and trash?
[07:09] ---
    We've got him fooled, don't we?
[07:11] ---
    It's just remote transmutation.
[07:16] ---
    W-Why, you...
[07:18] ---
    Scum should do what scum is told to do!
[07:23] ---
    Don't act so cocky, you worthless piece of crap!
[07:45] ---
    Doctor!
[07:51] ---
    That was a close one!
[07:53] ---
    T-Thank you.
[07:56] ---
    As tubby as he is, he's fast.
[08:00] ---
    Don't sell us "pieces of crap" short.
[08:03] ---
    Damn it!
[08:09] ---
    You think this two-bit attack is going to work?!
[08:13] ---
    No, huh?
[08:15] ---
    Well then, how do you like this?!
[08:30] ---
    Did he get him?
[08:36] ---
    Ha, ha! I caught you!
[08:38] ---
    --Doctor!
    --Doctor!
[08:39] ---
    Whoa, don't you move.
    I'll snap him like a twig. Now then...
[08:45] ---
    I'll have to give you your punishment.
[08:48] ---
    I told you, Doctor,
[08:50] ---
    you try anything, and I'll
    wipe out the whole village.
[08:54] ---
    I won't let you do that.
[09:01] ---
    You're still resisting? You really are an idiot.
[09:11] ---
    All right, I'm going to lay waste to that slum.
[09:16] ---
    Stop!
[09:17] ---
    But simply crushing them won't be much fun.
[09:20] ---
    Maybe I'll take them back to Central,
[09:23] ---
    and use them as ingredients
    for Philosopher's Stones.
[09:25] ---
    Why, you! Are you still having
    those things made there?!
[09:30] ---
    Let the researchers there-- let my men go!
[09:33] ---
    Huh? No can do.
[09:36] ---
    After all, we've turned them all
    into a Philosopher's Stone.
[09:40] ---
    Wha--? Not my men, too...
[09:46] ---
    Huh? You mean I didn't tell you?
[09:49] ---
    But Doctor, there's no need
    to mourn them now, is there?
[09:54] ---
    I mean, you've made so many
    Philosopher's Stones, haven't you?
[09:58] ---
    And used people's lives to do it!
[10:09] ---
    Yes. I've sacrificed many people's
    lives to make Philosopher's Stones.
[10:16] ---
    I know better than anyone else in the country
[10:18] ---
    how to make Philosopher's Stones.
[10:21] ---
    And knowing how to make them...
[10:24] ---
    ...means I know how to destroy them, as well!
[10:56] ---
    What is that?
[10:57] ---
    It's coming from the hill where
    the Doctor and the others are.
[11:11] ---
    It hurts! It hurts!
    It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
[11:16] ---
    No! This can't...
[11:20] ---
    This can't...
[11:28] ---
    No, this can't... this can't
    be happening to me, Envy...
[11:34] ---
    There's no way you lower
    creatures can beat me...
[11:39] ---
    No... not the Chimeras, too...
[11:42] ---
    Don't look at me... Don't... don't look at... me...
[11:47] ---
    Don't you look down on me, humans!
[11:54] ---
    Don't look at me, you worms...
    you filth... Don't look!
[12:00] ---
    This is the guy that was manipulating us?
[12:10] ---
    We beat him, Marcoh.
[12:19] ---
    Oh, they're coming back.
[12:24] ---
    Dr. Marcoh! You're hurt! What happened?
[12:29] ---
    Hmm? What's that?
[12:35] ---
    Ho, you were up to something that
    amazing without us knowing about it?
[12:41] ---
    That's what you get for
    going against us humans,
[12:44] ---
    you little... you little...
[12:46] ---
    Dr. Marcoh, why would you
    do something so rash?
[12:49] ---
    Up to now, I've always done
    whatever I was told to do.
[12:54] ---
    But this time, I wanted to settle things myself.
[12:57] ---
    To think and decide for myself.
[13:01] ---
    Like your parents did.
[13:07] ---
    Still, don't be so reckless, okay?
[13:11] ---
    --Yeah.
    --Yow!
[13:13] ---
    Ow-w-w-w...!
[13:17] ---
    Mr. Yoki?
[13:20] ---
    H-Help me!
[13:23] ---
    I've taken this guy's body!
[13:28] ---
    S-Stop this, you monster!
[13:30] ---
    I-I can't move my body!
[13:32] ---
    No, you can't!
[13:33] ---
    Now, everyone, if you want me to spare his life...
[13:37] ---
    Nah, do whatever you like.
[13:39] ---
    He's not one of us, after all.
[13:42] ---
    Mr. Yoki, it's been nice knowing you,
    even for this short time.
[13:45] ---
    I won't forget about you.
[13:49] ---
    Scarred sir, you'll take my side, right? Right?
[13:58] ---
    Don't you look away from me!
[14:00] ---
    --Sir, I had faith in you,
    at least. I had faith in you!
    --W-Why? He's one of you, isn't he?
[14:03] ---
    Save your breath, Envy.
[14:06] ---
    We've taken the gloves off now.
[14:09] ---
    If you get in our way, we'll destroy
    you and that man together!
[14:13] ---
    Damn it!
[14:16] ---
    --He came off.
    --Really?
[14:18] ---
    Nice performance.
[14:20] ---
    B-Bluffing isn't my strong suit.
[14:25] ---
    Damn it all! You guys are not my friends!
[14:28] ---
    I'm through with you!
    I'm severing our relationship!
[14:33] ---
    Damn...
[14:35] ---
    Well, I think it's about time
    we asked you about your plans.
[14:39] ---
    I don't know anything.
[14:41] ---
    What was that?! Spit it out!
    Spit it out, you little worm!
[14:45] ---
    Go! Let him have it, Zampano!
[14:51] ---
    After I tell you, you're just
    gonna kill me, aren't you?!
[14:54] ---
    You expect me to talk, you fool?!
[14:56] ---
    Damn you!
[14:58] ---
    Come to think of it, isn't the
    Fullmetal pipsqueak here?
[15:02] ---
    Brother? He should be back at Briggs right now.
[15:07] ---
    I heard he'd gone missing.
[15:11] ---
    What? What are you talking about? Tell me!
[15:14] ---
    Apparently, the mine shaft in Baschool caved in.
[15:17] ---
    I wonder if he's still alive.
[15:20] ---
    That's... not true...
[15:30] ---
    What do we do? Head back to Baschool?
[15:35] ---
    No. Knowing brother, at a time like this,
[15:38] ---
    I'm sure he would trust
    that the other was all right,
[15:40] ---
    and decide to move forward.
[15:43] ---
    That's why we're moving on, too.
[15:47] ---
    There's still hope.
[15:50] ---
    I will go my separate way for now.
[15:54] ---
    There's something I was thinking a little earlier.
[15:57] ---
    I'm not out to just hold a
    grudge against this country,
[15:59] ---
    for rejecting Ishval...
[16:01] ---
    ...but to change it.
[16:04] ---
    For that purpose, Marcoh,
    I will need your assistance.
[16:10] ---
    All right. I will go with you.
[16:14] ---
    In order to change this country...
[16:17] ---
    Actually, there's a town I'd
    kind of like to go to, as well.
[16:20] ---
    Oh, and where is that?
[16:22] ---
    A town called Liore.
[16:24] ---
    If my guess is correct,
    that tunnel will be there, too.
[16:28] ---
    --So I was thinking, that could be
    the fastest way to destroy it.
    --May, take this, and go back to your land.
[16:32] ---
    --That would buy us some time,
    --Hold on, sir!
[16:34] ---
    --and let us figure out how to set up
    the reverse transmutation circle.
    --It's what's left of a Homunculus
    that doesn't die when you kill it.
[16:37] ---
    --By "reverse transmutation circle,"
    --It may be enough to save your clan.
[16:40] ---
    --you mean that diagram we found earlier, right?
    --B-But if I go home, who will
    teach you about alkahestry?
[16:43] ---
    --Mm-hmm, that. We have to set it up.
    --Is this any time to be concerned
    about someone else's country?!
[16:46] ---
    Is that the resolve you had
    when you came to this country?
[16:49] ---
    If you lose the power struggle,
[16:51] ---
    are you going to apologize to those
    who have entrusted their fate to you
[16:54] ---
    by telling them you
    weren't able to save them
[16:56] ---
    because you were involved in
    some other country's affairs?
[17:01] ---
    Go on. This country's problems
[17:04] ---
    will be dealt with by this country's people.
[17:19] ---
    Thank you... very much...
[17:27] ---
    May, take care.
[17:30] ---
    Once I get through the basics of alkahestry,
[17:33] ---
    I'll come to you to learn some more.
[17:34] ---
    Oh, Al...
[17:38] ---
    Al... I... I...
[17:43] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[17:46] ---
    Thank you so much, everyone! Goodbye!
[17:54] ---
    Take care!
[17:59] ---
    There she goes.
[18:01] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[18:02] ---
    Well then, we should be going, too.
[18:04] ---
    Yeah.
[18:21] ---
    Mr. Greed...
[18:30] ---
    It's no use. Izumi Curtis went
    on a trip with her husband,
[18:34] ---
    and no one knows when they are returning.
[18:37] ---
    Hmm, there's nothing we can do.
[18:39] ---
    For now, I guess we go back
    to Fuhrer Bradley and report in.
[18:44] ---
    Bradley!
[18:50] ---
    You're coming with me, Greed.
[18:55] ---
    Let's get him to provide us with replacements.
[18:57] ---
    Yeah.
[18:59] ---
    If I follow them, I'll find Mr. Greed. But...
[19:24] ---
    Um... would you mind moving your foot, Sister?
[19:30] ---
    Address me as General while we're here!
[19:32] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:34] ---
    Tch, same old gutless mug as ever, I see.
[19:38] ---
    I-I hear the fight against Drachma
    earlier was a complete victory.
[19:41] ---
    Of course it was!
[19:44] ---
    The countrywide transmutation circle
    is about to be finished, isn't it?
[19:48] ---
    I don't care.
[19:49] ---
    Right now, we should be keeping the
    peace and security of this country.
[19:54] ---
    If there is a foe that threatens that,
    even for a moment,
[19:57] ---
    we must bring them to
    overwhelming and utter defeat!
[20:01] ---
    My word, how ferocious.
[20:04] ---
    If you keep this up, you'll never
    have anyone ask for your hand--
[20:07] ---
    You are short on fighting spirit!
[20:12] ---
    You scum! I'm going to catch your
    cowardice by being around you!
[20:16] ---
    Oh, here you are, General. Is this your brother?
[20:21] ---
    I hate to think of him as my brother, sir.
[20:24] ---
    Not some coward who would desert from Ishval.
[20:28] ---
    Come with me. There's something
    I'd like to show you.
[20:35] ---
    Do you know the three grand
    restrictions of State Alchemy?
[20:39] ---
    As I recall, they are "do not oppose the military,"
[20:42] ---
    "do not create gold,"
    and "do not fashion people."
[20:46] ---
    That is correct.
[20:47] ---
    "Do not oppose the military"
    should go without saying.
[20:51] ---
    "Do not create gold" is there
    to avoid financial disorder.
[20:54] ---
    But what about "do not fashion people"?
[20:57] ---
    Why does the state prohibit
    the creation of people?
[21:01] ---
    Because it is unethical, I suppose.
[21:04] ---
    I've heard that even among alchemists,
[21:06] ---
    it is implicitly forbidden
    as sacrilege against God.
[21:12] ---
    That's not why.
[21:14] ---
    Ethics is something that varies
    over time and among individuals.
[21:22] ---
    That is not where the reason lies.
[21:26] ---
    It is to prevent the individual
[21:28] ---
    from possessing a powerful
    military force, General.
[21:45] ---
    A promise that we would have never made
[21:49] ---
    will seek to take our future from us again today
[21:56] ---
    Why is it that even though
    we got what we wanted,
[22:00] ---
    we are unable to offer an honest smile?
[22:07] ---
    These tears welling up
    are fragments born of pain,
[22:12] ---
    not of weakness or regret
[22:18] ---
    Whatever moment, whatever fate I face,
[22:22] ---
    I've learned that one thing is certain
[22:30] ---
    Whatever limits, whatever hardship I face,
[22:33] ---
    I don't want to give up
[22:37] ---
    Don't let me go
[22:42] ---
    The warmth of your right hand that I held so tight
[22:50] ---
    is still here with me
[23:02] ---
    This is awful.
[23:04] ---
    Is there anywhere we can
    get something to eat here?
[23:07] ---
    Let's see, I know it's around here...
[23:12] ---
    Rose! How have you been?!
[23:15] ---
    How are you, Al? What, are you traveling again?
[23:19] ---
    Oh, you know her?
[23:21] ---
    Well, yeah, somewhat.
[23:23] ---
    Al, where's Ed? Isn't he with you?
[23:26] ---
    Ah, B-Brother isn't here today.
[23:30] ---
    Oh... That's too bad. I've really missed him.
[23:37] ---
    Oh...?
[23:38] ---
    W-What?!
[23:40] ---
    Oh, I was just wondering what that
    subtle expression on your face was.
[23:43] ---
    Don't go talking crazy.
[23:45] ---
    Hey, Rose, I'm finished washing the pots.
[23:49] ---
    Do you have anything else for me to...
[23:58] ---
    Reunion, revival, resolution.
[24:01] ---
    The time for spirits to take flame has arrived!
[24:03] ---
    As long as people are alive,
    they keep moving forward,
[24:07] ---
    no matter how difficult their road might be.
[24:11] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:16] ---
    Episode 44: "Revving at Full Throttle."
[24:21] ---
    Awaken, humans. Now is the beginning.
