[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
[01:32] ---
    On the day before the Promised Day,
[01:35] ---
    Alphonse Elric hid himself at
    the East Area training grounds.
[01:40] ---
    However, the Homunculi Gluttony
    and Pride appear, and capture him.
[01:56] ---
    Alphonse...
[02:03] ---
    Wake up, Alphonse.
[02:08] ---
    Who are you?
[02:13] ---
    It's too soon for you to die.
[02:16] ---
    There's still so much...
[02:19] ---
    ...use we need to put you to.
[02:42] ---
    Excuse me, is this Kanama?
[02:50] ---
    Mr. Ho...
[02:52] ---
    ...you have a visitor.
[03:00] ---
    So you've come, Edwa--
[03:04] ---
    Ah, that feels better.
[03:06] ---
    You didn't have to haul off and
    slug me out of nowhere, you know!
[03:09] ---
    And with your right hand, too!
[03:12] ---
    You've made some more friends.
[03:14] ---
    --Whoa...
    --It just works out that we're all in the same boat.
[03:18] ---
    And incidentally, I'm the boss of these guys.
[03:22] ---
    Well, well, thank you for looking after my son.
[03:27] ---
    Not at all. And a damn sassy son he is.
[03:30] ---
    Shut up!
[03:32] ---
    That's an unusual tattoo.
[03:36] ---
    Ah, this?
[03:39] ---
    I suppose there's no sense in hiding it.
[03:43] ---
    Pops, don't keep back anything from us, either.
[03:49] ---
    Tomorrow is the "Promised Day," right?
[03:55] ---
    Yeah. I'll tell you everything.
[04:14] ---
    I guess you can't accept this
    as readily as Alphonse did.
[04:19] ---
    You talked to Al, too?
[04:21] ---
    Yeah. He probably has his own take
    on some of it, but he accepted it.
[04:31] ---
    I am the Philosopher's Stone
    that you wanted. Will you use me?
[04:34] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[04:36] ---
    Those are the lives of people
    that have nothing to do with this!
[04:38] ---
    There's no way we can use you,
[04:40] ---
    when it's our own fault we lost our bodies!
[04:45] ---
    I'm glad my son would say so.
[04:51] ---
    Tomorrow, there will be an eclipse.
[04:54] ---
    He is planning to exploit it.
[04:56] ---
    Exploit the eclipse?
[05:00] ---
    Edward, will you help me
    to put a stop to his scheme?
[05:05] ---
    Help you? Don't get the wrong idea.
[05:09] ---
    I'll knock that bearded bastard's block off,
    without teaming up with you!
[05:13] ---
    It's just that right now,
[05:14] ---
    it looks like banding together
    assures our victory,
[05:17] ---
    which is the only reason
    why I'm listening to you!
[05:26] ---
    Good. Whatever your reasons are,
    you'll still fight alongside me.
[05:38] ---
    Granny Pinako asked me to
    give Mom's last words to you.
[05:46] ---
    "Sorry I couldn't keep my promise."
[05:50] ---
    And "I'm dying first."
[05:58] ---
    There, I told you!
[06:17] ---
    Don't you think you should talk more
    heart-to-heart with your old man?
[06:22] ---
    Yeah, yeah. At least call him "Pop."
[06:26] ---
    It sounds like there's been a
    lot between you in the past,
[06:29] ---
    but he's not the sort of man who
    would abandon his wife, mm-mm.
[06:32] ---
    I'm sure a lot has happened
    to him. Go on, hear him out.
[06:37] ---
    Aw, geez, shut up!
    A lot has happened to me, too!
[06:41] ---
    Like what?
[06:43] ---
    I'll bet you're just being stubborn.
[06:47] ---
    You're not sure how to
    sort out your feelings, huh?
[06:50] ---
    I can't blame you.
[06:52] ---
    He's a Philosopher's Stone,
    in the form of a live person.
[06:55] ---
    And what's more, he also
    happens to be your father.
[06:59] ---
    It's not just that.
[07:03] ---
    He's... not quite who I was expecting.
[07:17] ---
    Someday, I'll be a wrinkly old woman myself.
[07:22] ---
    Even so,
[07:23] ---
    no matter what form I take, I want
    us to be able to all smile together.
[07:28] ---
    So let's always stay a family.
[07:32] ---
    Trisha, I'm going away.
[07:35] ---
    Wait here for me.
[07:45] ---
    Okay.
[07:50] ---
    I'll wait for you.
[07:58] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.
[08:03] ---
    You've passed away first, huh?
[08:07] ---
    I may not have been able to grow old
    and die with you like you wanted,
[08:11] ---
    but you always believed that I would
    be coming back to you later on.
[08:19] ---
    Tomorrow, Trisha.
[08:26] ---
    Here you go.
[08:28] ---
    Thanks.
[08:29] ---
    What are you doing with that?
[08:41] ---
    Are you planning to wear
    something that flashy again?
[08:43] ---
    Why does it have to be red?
[08:49] ---
    This will probably be our
    last battle against them.
[08:54] ---
    I have to make sure I'm all fired up for it.
[09:00] ---
    Look, you guys don't have to tag along with me.
[09:05] ---
    I think it might be better for you
    if we parted ways here, fellas.
[09:09] ---
    Hey, now, you can't decide that
    for yourself! You work for me!
[09:13] ---
    Or, do you, you know, want to get
    your original bodies back, or...?
[09:17] ---
    I don't know.
[09:18] ---
    There's a lot about these
    bodies that comes in handy.
[09:21] ---
    I wouldn't really mind staying like this.
[09:24] ---
    That's more like it!
[09:27] ---
    So then, why?
[09:28] ---
    Well, you know, we don't
    have anywhere else to be.
[09:32] ---
    My animal instincts tell me that if I stay here,
[09:35] ---
    something good will happen to me.
[09:39] ---
    What about you? Didn't you say
    you'd split from the Homunculi?
[09:46] ---
    Are you asking why I've returned to Central?
[09:50] ---
    I'm not telling.
[09:59] ---
    W-What is it?
[10:13] ---
    Al!
[10:15] ---
    Oh, it's you! Don't scare me like that!
[10:18] ---
    I'm glad we managed to link up again!
    How have you been?
[10:21] ---
    Brother, you're all right, too.
[10:24] ---
    Huh? I thought you were
    together with Major Miles.
[10:28] ---
    Is everything all right with them?
[10:30] ---
    I need to speak to you about that.
    Come here a minute.
[10:33] ---
    O-Okay...
[10:37] ---
    Al, is something the matter with you?
[10:44] ---
    Why do you ask?
[10:45] ---
    No reason, it's just that...
[10:48] ---
    Ed!
[10:49] ---
    --Ling?
    --Get away from him!
[10:53] ---
    That's...!
[10:56] ---
    He's...!
[11:11] ---
    W-What is this?!
[11:13] ---
    So, you've gone over to their side, Greed.
[11:25] ---
    To think you'd let the human
    take you over again.
[11:31] ---
    Your soul is too weak!
[11:44] ---
    The Fuhrer is still missing?
[11:47] ---
    They say they've only found the body
[11:49] ---
    of one of his subordinates, downriver.
[11:51] ---
    It would be a miracle if he's still alive.
[11:54] ---
    I'll enlist the cooperation
    of the Northern forces,
[11:57] ---
    and direct the search myself.
[12:00] ---
    You, personally, General?
[12:02] ---
    I won't be able to rest until
    I see his corpse for myself.
[12:07] ---
    You're not going to make for
    Central, as we first planned?
[12:11] ---
    There's not much choice.
[12:13] ---
    I'll have to let Colonel Mustang
    have the bigger bite of Central.
[12:18] ---
    The current Bradley
    administration is still functioning,
[12:22] ---
    without any great difficulty.
[12:24] ---
    If either Colonel Mustang or
    General Armstrong starts anything now,
[12:30] ---
    they'll be treated as rebels.
[12:33] ---
    And if that happens, that is when I step in.
[12:37] ---
    After they are held up as the villains,
[12:40] ---
    General Grumman will come
    riding in on a white horse.
[12:45] ---
    I'll let the youngsters pull
    the chestnuts out of the fire,
[12:50] ---
    so that I can take charge of
    this country with little risk.
[12:55] ---
    That's probably what the old fox is thinking.
[13:01] ---
    We've joined forces with the
    Promised Day ahead of us,
[13:06] ---
    but I can't let my guard down until it's all over.
[13:19] ---
    A-Al!
[13:20] ---
    It's Pride.
[13:22] ---
    Pride?
[13:24] ---
    Yeah. I guess you could say
    he's our oldest brother.
[13:30] ---
    A Homunculus?!
[13:33] ---
    You're going to betray us,
    no matter what, aren't you, Greed?
[13:38] ---
    At this point, you are nothing
    more than an obstacle to us.
[13:42] ---
    Damn it, how did you know I was here?
[13:47] ---
    How dare you disguise yourself as Al?!
[13:50] ---
    It is not a disguise.
[13:55] ---
    This is, indisputably, your brother's body.
[14:03] ---
    You bastard!
[14:05] ---
    I'm going to deal with Greed now.
[14:08] ---
    Fullmetal Alchemist, would you
    be so kind as to come with me?
[14:15] ---
    Hey, Mr. Gorilla, you guys run--
[14:17] ---
    Whoa, you guys sure are fast!
[14:19] ---
    Our animal instincts are telling us
    not to fight with that thing.
[14:25] ---
    Are you going to be all right?!
[14:27] ---
    I'll be fine. They need Al and me,
    so they won't kill us.
[14:32] ---
    But I can go all out against them!
[14:35] ---
    I won't hesitate to take them down!
[14:38] ---
    You are correct. I will not kill you.
[14:41] ---
    I might slice up two or three
    of your limbs, though.
[14:52] ---
    I can't afford to run toward the slums!
[15:03] ---
    Guards won't work against this guy!
[15:07] ---
    That was close!
[15:13] ---
    Now then, I have captured your
    friend, as well. What will it be?
[15:19] ---
    Will you do as I say if I capture
    the slums' people, as well?
[15:24] ---
    True to form, he goes right
    after the last thing you want.
[15:43] ---
    I can't stand to keep losing my fights!
[16:05] ---
    --What's that?
    --A blackout?
[16:07] ---
    Hey, what's going on?!
[16:16] ---
    I can't see anything... but then,
    his eyes have disappeared, too.
[16:22] ---
    Greed...
[16:23] ---
    Is that you, Heinkel?
[16:25] ---
    What is this? What's going on?
[16:27] ---
    Oh, you only get shadows when there's light.
[16:30] ---
    When it's pitch-black, he can't materialize,
[16:32] ---
    and just like us, he can't see anything.
[16:36] ---
    So he's gone, then?
[16:37] ---
    He's just lying in wait. When the
    lights come back on, he'll return.
[16:43] ---
    Hey, what do we do?
[16:45] ---
    Heinkel, did you see Alphonse's shadow earlier?
[16:49] ---
    Yeah, with the snaky, tentacle-looking things.
[16:52] ---
    Not those.
[16:54] ---
    He always kept near a large shadow, right?
[16:57] ---
    His main body is somewhere
    in the forest shadows.
[17:00] ---
    Main body?
[17:02] ---
    The suit of armor wasn't his main body?
[17:04] ---
    No. He has a specialized container
    that he uses to go out in.
[17:10] ---
    What kind of container?
[17:19] ---
    The moon and stars are not out tonight.
[17:22] ---
    The others cannot act in this darkness, either.
[17:27] ---
    I'll just wait for the slum's
    lights to come back on, and...
[17:36] ---
    You're not getting away!
[17:40] ---
    You're pretty good, attacking me
    in this form without even flinching.
[17:45] ---
    Sure, I might hesitate to lay into a little kid...
[17:50] ---
    On top of which...
[17:52] ---
    ...my animal instincts are screaming at me!
[17:55] ---
    They're saying that if I don't
    beat this guy, I'm in deep trouble.
[18:02] ---
    Ed!
[18:04] ---
    Hey, Ed!
[18:05] ---
    Is that you, Mr. Gorilla?
[18:07] ---
    Where's your brother?
[18:09] ---
    He hasn't moved.
    Whenever he moves, he clanks.
[18:13] ---
    All right, for the time being,
    let's move away from here.
[18:16] ---
    And leave Al behind here?!
[18:18] ---
    I know how worried you must be,
[18:20] ---
    but what if we get close to him, and it's a trap?
[18:23] ---
    We have to stick together, at least
    until Heinkel deals with Pride,
[18:27] ---
    so we can avoid attacking each other.
[18:33] ---
    That sound is the lion guy fighting?
[18:37] ---
    When it's dark, leave the fighting
    to the nocturnal animals.
[18:44] ---
    Lousy Pride. How did he know where we are?
[18:48] ---
    Does he have that sort of ability...?
[18:56] ---
    Get down!
[19:09] ---
    I smell the Fullmetal Alchemist... I smell Greed...
[19:14] ---
    That voice! It's Gluttony!
[19:17] ---
    Him?!
[19:18] ---
    I get it. So they used Gluttony's
    sense of smell to track us down!
[19:24] ---
    Sniff, sniff...
[19:26] ---
    I also smell someone I don't know.
    I can eat them, right?
[19:32] ---
    You're up, Darius. He's a Homunculus, too.
[19:36] ---
    How am I supposed to handle a
    monster-class opponent like him?!
[19:39] ---
    He's only relying on his nose to move around.
[19:43] ---
    If you take him now, you'll be
    evenly matched, won't you?
[19:46] ---
    My animal instinct is telling me not to.
[19:52] ---
    But hey, a man's gotta have nerve!
[19:54] ---
    Victory favors he who strikes first!
[20:03] ---
    And another!
[20:08] ---
    That was brutal, Mr. Gorilla!
    I thought we were sticking together
[20:11] ---
    so we could avoid attacking each other!
[20:13] ---
    Sorry.
[20:15] ---
    I guess in the dark, we don't have
    the upper hand against Gluttony.
[20:19] ---
    But once the lights are back on, there's Pride.
[20:22] ---
    Hmph, this is going to be tough.
[20:25] ---
    Hey, Greed!
[20:27] ---
    Is that you, Ling?
[20:28] ---
    Switch with me. I'm able to
    sense a Homunculus' presence.
[20:34] ---
    I'm the one who realized
    Pride was out there, right?
[20:36] ---
    I can maneuver around better in the darkness!
[20:42] ---
    Tch, what choice do I have?!
[20:44] ---
    Don't go running off with this body!
[20:46] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
    It was my body to begin with!
[20:49] ---
    Time to eat--
[20:51] ---
    There you are!
[20:57] ---
    Oh, nice one! I'm glad I paired with you!
[21:01] ---
    Thank you.
[21:02] ---
    --Is that you, Ling?!
    --Yeah!
[21:04] ---
    I'm mad! I'm hungry! But you
    won't let me eat you right away!
[21:12] ---
    So I'm gonna swallow you all!
[21:16] ---
    I sense something bad!
[21:17] ---
    Bad like what?!
[21:19] ---
    Something's coming!
[21:20] ---
    Something like what?!
[21:22] ---
    It's the same as that time earlier...
[21:24] ---
    H-Hey, what is it you guys are looking at?!
[21:27] ---
    Explain it to me, the normal guy!
[21:31] ---
    What?!
[21:39] ---
    Huh?
[21:40] ---
    What?!
[21:42] ---
    Hold still!
[21:46] ---
    Is there someone else out there?!
[21:48] ---
    I don't know.
[21:49] ---
    I don't know, but that's...
[21:52] ---
    That smell...
[21:56] ---
    I know it...
[22:19] ---
    Thank goodness you're all right!
[22:22] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Lan Fan!
[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] ---
    If knowing the enemy
    and knowing yourself brings fear,
[24:02] ---
    then tuck tail and run away.
[24:05] ---
    If you stand your ground,
    and fight with wisdom,
[24:08] ---
    then you are sure to find
    your chance for victory.
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:16] ---
    Episode 48: "The Oath in the Tunnel."
[24:21] ---
    Will you claim victory by the blood
    of your friends, or won't you?
