**[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?*
