[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
[01:38] ---
    --Dear!
    --Stay back.
[01:41] ---
    Well, what's the meaning of this, Wrath?
[01:46] ---
    It won't go away!
[01:49] ---
    My head is pounding over this!
[01:54] ---
    Why are you,
[01:56] ---
    King Bradley, showing up in there?
[02:00] ---
    What did you do to my stuff?!
[02:07] ---
    Your avarice, huh?
[02:09] ---
    You're a fool who never gets rid of anything,
[02:11] ---
    and craves even the past.
[02:15] ---
    Damn it!
[03:03] ---
    Sir!
[03:05] ---
    Ma'am, are you and Master Selim all right?
[03:07] ---
    Y-Yes.
[03:09] ---
    I'm terribly sorry. The security
    patrol was helpless against him.
[03:13] ---
    Oh, don't worry about it.
    He had quite formidable skill.
[03:17] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:31] ---
    Father...
[03:32] ---
    ...go into retirement.
[03:36] ---
    Olivier!
[03:38] ---
    Here you come home after
    being away for so long,
[03:40] ---
    and what do you say to me, out of the blue?
[03:43] ---
    To transfer responsibility over the family to me,
[03:45] ---
    and spend the remainder
    of your years at your leisure.
[03:49] ---
    I was going to have Alex be my successor.
[03:52] ---
    That pantywaist? Why don't
    you leave everything to me,
[03:57] ---
    and take a long vacation in some foreign land?
[04:01] ---
    Alex would only drag the Armstrong
    family name through the mud.
[04:10] ---
    Sister!
[04:12] ---
    You've returned home, have you?
[04:14] ---
    Oh, Alex, you're just in time.
[04:16] ---
    Yes, sir?
[04:17] ---
    Fight Olivier.
[04:19] ---
    Huh?
[04:20] ---
    Whoever wins gets to head the family.
[04:23] ---
    Is that acceptable, Olivier?
[04:25] ---
    Yes. I could ask for nothing more.
[04:29] ---
    Olivier told me to retire,
    and go somewhere else, you see.
[04:33] ---
    What?!
[04:36] ---
    What insolence to show to Father, Sister!
[04:40] ---
    Very well!
[04:47] ---
    I will employ my whole body,
    soul, and muscles to face you.
[04:54] ---
    You've got some nerve, Alex! I will
    show you just how callow you are!
[04:59] ---
    Well then, let's be off.
[05:02] ---
    All right.
[05:06] ---
    Where shall we go on our vacation?
[05:10] ---
    What about Xing, dear?
    I've heard that they have delicious food.
[05:16] ---
    Then let's go there. Is that
    all right with you, Catherine?
[05:19] ---
    Yes, Father.
[05:25] ---
    N-No!
[05:28] ---
    No...!
[05:31] ---
    W-Wait!
[05:32] ---
    No take-backs!
[05:34] ---
    Are you trying to kill me?!
[05:35] ---
    You're just now figuring that out?
[05:38] ---
    Good luck, Brother.
[05:43] ---
    What sort of souvenirs
    shall we get for those two?
[05:45] ---
    How about elephants?
    They are huge, and strong.
[05:49] ---
    If they're getting elephants, I want one, too.
[05:59] ---
    Nooo!!
[06:08] ---
    That settles that.
[06:16] ---
    The entire Armstrong family is now mine.
[06:21] ---
    Sister...
[06:23] ---
    I heard that recently,
    you have become quite chummy
[06:25] ---
    with the military senior staff.
[06:27] ---
    Why is that? The senior staff is--
[06:29] ---
    I make my judgments with my own eyes.
[06:33] ---
    And having seen for yourself,
    have you sent Father and the others away
[06:37] ---
    so that they cannot be taken as hostages?
[06:42] ---
    Get out, loser! This mansion is now mine.
[07:10] ---
    Young lady, where are you going?
[07:13] ---
    This is the farthest town east.
    There's nothing but desert ahead.
[07:18] ---
    Um, I was about to go back to my home country.
[07:22] ---
    --Home country?
    --Yes. Xing.
[07:24] ---
    Across the desert?
[07:26] ---
    Yes.
[07:27] ---
    A girl, crossing the desert by herself?
[07:30] ---
    Yes.
[07:34] ---
    Hey, everyone!
[07:35] ---
    All of you chip in. Food,
    or anything else you've got.
[07:38] ---
    Eh? There's no need to...
[07:40] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[07:42] ---
    Why don't you spend the night,
    and leave tomorrow?
[07:45] ---
    Come over to our place and have a bath, first.
[07:47] ---
    Are you hungry?
[07:49] ---
    Yeah, Steve, you've got a lot
    of rooms, right? Put her up.
[07:53] ---
    Yeah, sure. My oldest
    daughter's room is available.
[07:57] ---
    You mean Emmy, who went
    off to college in Central?
[08:00] ---
    She turned out pretty good,
    for being your daughter.
[08:02] ---
    Didn't she?
[08:04] ---
    We'll have to get something
    for the little kitty, too.
[08:08] ---
    Oh, my, she's hungry, isn't she?
[08:10] ---
    She thinks you're her food.
[08:12] ---
    Oh, don't be ridiculous.
[08:15] ---
    That isn't true, is it, little kitty?
[08:18] ---
    There, she says you look tasty.
[08:24] ---
    Nice folks, huh?
[08:27] ---
    You're going to just leave them behind?
[08:29] ---
    Well, that might be for the best, too.
[08:32] ---
    Then again, if you go home carrying
    a half-dead Homunculus like me,
[08:36] ---
    I don't think it's going to do you any good.
[08:40] ---
    But if you go to Central,
[08:43] ---
    you'll be able to learn the true
    method of gaining immortality.
[08:46] ---
    You might be able to save these folks, as well.
[08:50] ---
    Oh, well, with you going
    back to your home country,
[08:54] ---
    they aren't any business of yours, are they?
[09:05] ---
    Everyone! Thank you all for your kindness!
[09:09] ---
    Where are you going?!
[09:10] ---
    There's something I've left undone,
    so I'm going back to Central!
[09:16] ---
    Fool! Once you get to Central, you're all mine.
[09:21] ---
    If only I had a Philosopher's Stone,
    I could transform again...

[09:26] ---
    If only I had a Stone...
[09:47] ---
    --Where are we?
    --A hideout that I've used before.
[09:52] ---
    This is where your brother is, right?
[09:54] ---
    Yeah. I know him like the back of my hand.
[09:57] ---
    Al is definitely here...
[10:00] ---
    Hey. There's no one here, is there?
[10:03] ---
    You can't bank on this older brother.
[10:05] ---
    We busted our tails fleeing from
    the north, and this is what we get?
[10:28] ---
    Ling? Er, I mean, Greed?
[10:33] ---
    I'm... hungry...
[10:36] ---
    Heh, it's Ling.
[10:47] ---
    I feel like myself again. Thanks, that was good.
[10:51] ---
    Same old overeating dumbass as ever.
[10:54] ---
    Our emergency rations are all gone.
[10:56] ---
    Are those guys your pals?
[10:58] ---
    --Mr. Gorill...
    --It's Darius!
[11:00] ---
    I'm Heinkel.
[11:02] ---
    We're former military, but as
    circumstances would have it,
[11:04] ---
    we're working with the kid here.
[11:06] ---
    Who is this guy?
[11:08] ---
    Let's see...
[11:09] ---
    I'm not sure how to explain it to you.
[11:11] ---
    I'm a Homunculus.
[11:13] ---
    --Hom...
    --Hey, now, don't spill it so easily!
[11:16] ---
    --Seriously?!
    --It would take too long to lay it all out.
[11:19] ---
    And what are you doing here, anyway?
[11:23] ---
    Greed went his separate way
    from the Homunculus gang.
[11:27] ---
    I took advantage of his agitation,
    and gained control of my body back.
[11:32] ---
    I was looking for someplace
    near Central where I could hide,
[11:36] ---
    and ended up here...
[11:38] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:39] ---
    This is bad... Greed is coming back...
[11:43] ---
    Hey! Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait! Hold on!
[11:46] ---
    Don't let him overcome you!
    Keep your wits about you!
[11:49] ---
    Listen to me! Ed...
[11:52] ---
    That "Father" guy that lives beneath Central...
[11:56] ---
    ...will open the doorway on
    "That Day," which is to come.
[12:00] ---
    In my layman's opinion, if you
    two brothers jump into it then,
[12:05] ---
    you might be able to get
    your original bodies back.
[12:09] ---
    No, wait. That might be true, but...
[12:13] ---
    in order to open the doorway, a toll is required.
[12:18] ---
    For what reason is he opening the doorway?
[12:22] ---
    This "day which is to come"--
[12:24] ---
    is there a set day on which
    he's going to open the doorway?
[12:26] ---
    Well, I...
[12:28] ---
    Ling? Hey!
[12:30] ---
    Damn it!
[12:33] ---
    Don't come back yet!
[12:36] ---
    The message...!
[12:38] ---
    Did you give Lan Fan... the message?
[12:42] ---
    Message?
[12:46] ---
    Al gave it to her! Lan Fan is all right!
[12:49] ---
    We don't know where she is right now, though.
[12:52] ---
    Okay... thank goodness...
[12:55] ---
    Ling?
[12:57] ---
    Sorry... that's all for me...
[13:08] ---
    Damn. Lousy Xingese prince.
[13:11] ---
    He talks far too much.
[13:13] ---
    --Is that you, Greed?
    --Yeah, that's right.
[13:17] ---
    Give it up, you can't kill me with that.
[13:22] ---
    Sorry to bother you.
[13:25] ---
    Hey...
[13:26] ---
    You're gonna just let us skate?
[13:30] ---
    Skate, nothing. He told you earlier, right?
[13:33] ---
    That I have washed my hands of the Homunculi?
[13:36] ---
    My memories got all jumbled up,
    and I attacked Bradley.
[13:40] ---
    If I go back, there's no telling
    what they'd do to me.
[13:43] ---
    So I've gone and flown the coop,
    and will live however I want to.
[13:47] ---
    By myself.
[13:50] ---
    You want to pal up with us?
[13:55] ---
    If you've got nowhere to go, come with us.
[14:05] ---
    Pal up? Pal up with you? That's rich.
[14:11] ---
    Up yours! Everything in the world is mine!
[14:15] ---
    Then again, if you wanted to work for me,
[14:18] ---
    I wouldn't mind palling around with you.
[14:22] ---
    Bye, now.
[14:33] ---
    Pal up?
[14:35] ---
    Even with all these souls I have inside me...
[14:40] ---
    I'm all alone... aren't I?
[14:43] ---
    In that case, you should
    pal up with Ed and the others.
[14:47] ---
    If you don't like that idea,
    give me my body back.
[14:51] ---
    I'll become the emperor of Xing,
    and fill that emptiness.
[14:56] ---
    The king of the whole land, huh?
[14:58] ---
    That's a big deal, right?
[14:59] ---
    Ha, what a brat. That's still small potatoes.
[15:03] ---
    If I'm going to be anything,
[15:06] ---
    how about becoming the
    king of the whole world?
[15:11] ---
    The world?
[15:12] ---
    Hey, Ling, wait up!
[15:16] ---
    What? You're such a pest.
[15:18] ---
    Remember, I'm Greed.
[15:19] ---
    I don't care who you are anymore.
[15:22] ---
    It's too much of a hassle,
    so I'll just call you Greeling.
[15:23] ---
    --Hey, who are you calling Gree...
    --I'll work for you, Greeling.
[15:28] ---
    Huh?
[15:29] ---
    I said, I would be one of your men.
[15:32] ---
    Which means that the Chimera
    fellows that are with me
[15:36] ---
    now work for you, too.
[15:38] ---
    Hey, kid! You can't go deciding that for us!
[15:41] ---
    Don't get carried away, you little
    beansprout! Pipsqueak! Pee-wee!
[15:48] ---
    Now that I think about it,
[15:50] ---
    the moment I decided to
    become a Dog of the Military,
[15:53] ---
    I lost all pride, and everything else with it.
[15:56] ---
    So wagging my tail is no big
    deal to me anymore. Besides...
[16:00] ---
    I can't very well let any information slip away,
[16:02] ---
    or pass up this chance just because
    I'm caught up in my emotions, right?
[16:05] ---
    Not this one chance in a million.
[16:08] ---
    How foolish. Are you going to
    give yourself over to your passion,
[16:12] ---
    and lose this precious information?
[16:18] ---
    What a hoot!
[16:19] ---
    To work for me is to become an outcast.
[16:22] ---
    Make sure you won't regret it later.
[16:24] ---
    Give me a break.
    When it comes to having regrets,
[16:26] ---
    I've got the inside track!
[16:28] ---
    What does that mean?
[16:30] ---
    That settles it, then.
[16:31] ---
    So that means you're my men, as well.
[16:33] ---
    Aw, whatever, suit yourself.
[16:36] ---
    I don't care who I follow, as long as I get fed.
[16:39] ---
    What kind of Chimeras are you?
[16:41] ---
    --I'm part gorilla.
    --I'm part lion.
[16:43] ---
    Hey, that's pretty cool, huh?
[16:45] ---
    I've still got her piercings.
[16:49] ---
    It doesn't look like I'll be
    seeing Winry or Al for a while.

[16:54] ---
    "The day which is to come," huh?
[17:02] ---
    I've told you, time and again,
    please don't come here!
[17:04] ---
    "Dublith"
[17:05] ---
    When Mrs. Izumi gets back, I will contact you.
[17:08] ---
    I can't get any work done with
    you coming here all the time.
[17:15] ---
    Yes, Curtis Butcher Shop.
[17:18] ---
    Ah, thank you for calling. About your order...
[17:21] ---
    We'll be back.
[17:22] ---
    Come by as a customer once in
    a while, if you wouldn't mind!
[17:27] ---
    Sorry, some military folks
    were just here... Yeah...
[17:33] ---
    You have a message from Alphonse,
    and a man named Hohenheim.
[17:39] ---
    "Suburbs of North City"
[17:39] ---
    I see.
[17:41] ---
    That's a pretty big deal.
[17:45] ---
    Yeah, got it.
[17:49] ---
    The Promised Day, huh?
[17:53] ---
    "Briggs Mountain"
[18:00] ---
    Contact headquarters at once!
[18:02] ---
    This is Point P! We're under attack!
[18:05] ---
    Who is it? Drachma?!
[18:06] ---
    --We don't know!
    --What are the enemy's numbers?
[18:09] ---
    --Just one!
    --Just one? Who is it?!
[18:14] ---
    Hey, I asked you who it was!
[18:16] ---
    Point P! Who is it?!
[18:19] ---
    A housewife!
[18:21] ---
    "Fort Briggs"
[18:22] ---
    An attack on the Mountain Guard
    by a mysterious woman?
[18:26] ---
    It's the same as those incidents 20 years ago.
[18:29] ---
    To be wiped out by a single woman...
[18:31] ---
    Once General Armstrong gets back,
    she's going to kill us.
[18:36] ---
    Major Miles...
[18:37] ---
    Good work.
[18:37] ---
    "Prison Cell"
[18:41] ---
    An Ishvalan with dark glasses
    and notches shaved into his hair,
[18:44] ---
    and a great big soldier with a Mohawk.
    Just like they told me.
[18:49] ---
    I've been waiting for you two to show up.
[18:53] ---
    Who are you?
[18:55] ---
    I told you, I'm just a housewife
    who is passing through.
[18:58] ---
    I've brought a message from Al.
[19:02] ---
    Can we talk someplace privately?
[19:04] ---
    Yes sir, a message from Alphonse Elric.
[19:04] ---
    "Outskirts of North City"
[19:08] ---
    It concerns "The Promised Day."
[19:10] ---
    "East City-- Grumman Residence"
[19:11] ---
    Ho, "The Promised Day." Your timing is perfect.
[19:15] ---
    This is starting to get interesting.
[19:20] ---
    "Eastern Command Center-- Rifle Range"
[19:24] ---
    Yoo-hoo, Rebecca! I see your
    aim is as fine as always.
[19:27] ---
    And so is your tushie.
[19:31] ---
    Lt. General Grumman, what are you doing?!
[19:34] ---
    You can't go leaving yourself
    vulnerable on the battlefield.
[19:37] ---
    Incidentally, you and Lieutenant
    Hawkeye are friends, right?
[19:43] ---
    "Central"
[19:46] ---
    Yoo-hoo, Riza!
[19:48] ---
    Long time no see, Rebecca.
[19:51] ---
    There has been a change of
    plans for the joint exercises
[19:54] ---
    between the Northern and Eastern forces.
[19:56] ---
    You know, because of that exchange
    of fire between Drachma and Briggs.
[20:01] ---
    They're going to change locations,
    and hold them in the east.
[20:04] ---
    I heard so from the Fuhrer.
[20:06] ---
    Ah, first Colonel Mustang, and now the Fuhrer.
[20:11] ---
    You have to set me up with
    a nice guy from Central, too!
[20:15] ---
    Okay. Here's a nice guy.
[20:18] ---
    Hayate, your master is a cold-blooded skinflint!
[20:25] ---
    Just you watch, though. I'll catch me a nice guy,
[20:28] ---
    resign, and stay at home.
[20:30] ---
    Yeah, yeah, good luck with that.
[20:34] ---
    Be sure to give my regards to Lieutenant Havoc.
[20:37] ---
    Roger that.
[20:38] ---
    See you later.
[20:47] ---
    Be sure to give my regards
    to Lieutenant Havoc, huh?
[20:53] ---
    Once my condition stabilizes,
[20:55] ---
    I'm thinking of transferring
    to a hospital in the east.
[20:58] ---
    Oh, yeah? We'll sure miss you.
[21:01] ---
    In that case, I wish I had
    brought you a proper gift.
[21:05] ---
    These are for you. One per day, okay?
[21:07] ---
    Aw, thank you! I just barely ran out.
[21:11] ---
    All right, I'll come see you again later.
[21:13] ---
    Thanks.
[21:15] ---
    Rebecca was concerned about you, too.
[21:17] ---
    Sure, sure.
[21:21] ---
    When the colonel comes by, tell him I said hi.
[21:23] ---
    Okie-doke.
[21:26] ---
    You heard her, Colonel.
[21:30] ---
    There's no need for you to hide.
[21:33] ---
    Both of us are being watched.
[21:36] ---
    Any private, unwarranted
    contact will draw suspicion.
[21:43] ---
    Yum...
[21:45] ---
    Colonel, care to have one as well?
[21:47] ---
    No, I'm...
[21:49] ---
    Oh, come on. Just one.
[22:03] ---
    After the new year, in the spring,
[22:06] ---
    on the Promised Day,
[22:09] ---
    the north and east will make their move.
[22:26] ---
    A promise that we would have never made
[22:30] ---
    will seek to take our future from us again today
[22:37] ---
    Why is it that even though
    we got what we wanted,

[22:42] ---
    we are unable to offer an honest smile?
[22:48] ---
    These tears welling up
    are fragments born of pain,

[22:54] ---
    not of weakness or regret
[23:00] ---
    Whatever moment, whatever fate I face,
[23:03] ---
    I've learned that one thing is certain
[23:12] ---
    Whatever limits, whatever hardship I face,
[23:15] ---
    I don't want to give up
[23:18] ---
    Don't let me go
[23:23] ---
    The warmth of your right hand that I held so tight
[23:31] ---
    is still here with me
[23:59] ---
    After the new year, in the spring,
[24:01] ---
    comes their resolution.
[24:03] ---
    With feeling in his heart, the young
    man sets out for the tiger's den.

[24:09] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,

[24:13] ---
    Episode 46: "Looming Shadows."
[24:18] ---
    Even separated, the heart can still get through,
[24:22] ---
    as long as one keeps moving forward.
