[00:01] ---
    Alchemy is the science of
    understanding, decomposing,
[00:04] ---
    and reconstructing matter.
[00:06] ---
    However, it is not an all-powerful art.
[00:09] ---
    It is impossible to create
    something out of nothing.
[00:12] ---
    If one wishes to obtain something,
[00:14] ---
    something of equal value must be paid.
[00:17] ---
    This equivalent exchange
    is the basis of alchemy.
[00:22] ---
    Alchemists have a taboo,
    and it is human transmutation.
[00:26] ---
    It is that which no one must commit.
[00:30] ---
    I still have too long a life ahead
[00:33] ---
    to get rid of these feelings, right?
[00:37] ---
    I want to try doing over
[00:38] ---
    the things I've left undone
[00:52] ---
    I thought I was running after
    something carried over from my dreams
[00:59] ---
    Yet I'm stumbling into people
    on this narrow, winding road
[01:05] ---
    It's not like I want to go back
    to the way things were back then
[01:08] ---
    I'm just searching for the sky
    I've been losing
[01:11] ---
    Here's hoping you'll understand
[01:13] ---
    Stop making that sad face
    as though you were a victim
[01:18] ---
    Sins don't end with tears,
[01:20] ---
    you have to carry the pain forever
[01:22] ---
    Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions
[01:23] ---
    with no way out in sight?
[01:25] ---
    I want to purge myself more simply,
[01:27] ---
    as if writing in a blank notebook
[01:29] ---
    What is it I want to escape from?
[01:30] ---
    ...is it reality?
[01:32] ---
    It makes me want to scream that we're alive
[01:35] ---
    for things to come true. Can you hear me?
[01:38] ---
    I can't put up with playing it safe
[01:44] ---
    ...I've got nowhere to go home to
[01:45] ---
    I'm always grateful for kindness
[01:49] ---
    That's why I want to grow stronger
    (I'm on the way)
[01:52] ---
    I even welcome this pain
[01:54] ---
    for the things I miss
[02:00] ---
    In order to gain knowledge
    about transmuting living things,
[02:03] ---
    Ed and Al visit the home of Shou Tucker,
    the Sewing Life Alchemist.
[02:08] ---
    His daughter Nina and
    dog Alexander were also there.
[02:13] ---
    In order for Tucker to pass
    his State Alchemist assessment,
[02:17] ---
    he transmuted a Chimera,
    using Nina and Alexander.
[02:21] ---
    Nina could never be changed back.
[02:25] ---
    Ed became stricken with
    grief at his own powerlessness.
[02:36] ---
    Mom! Mom!
[02:38] ---
    What is it, Ed?
[02:41] ---
    A present!
[02:43] ---
    I transmuted it!
[02:44] ---
    You did, Ed?
    You're your father's son, all right.
[02:48] ---
    Thanks. You really are amazing, Ed,
[02:51] ---
    to be able to create something as neat as this.
[02:55] ---
    But...
[02:58] ---
    You couldn't make Mommy right, could you?
[03:03] ---
    Big Brother...
[03:07] ---
    Let's play.
[03:13] ---
    Are you all right Brother?
[03:16] ---
    You were having a nightmare.
[03:35] ---
    What's the matter, you two?
    What are you up so early for?
[03:39] ---
    S-So, um...
[03:41] ---
    What's going to become of Tucker and Nina?
[03:45] ---
    Mr. Tucker was scheduled to be stripped
[03:47] ---
    of his certification, and go to trial,
[03:51] ---
    but both of them are dead.
[03:52] ---
    Dead?!
[03:55] ---
    You'll find this out eventually
    anyhow, so I'll just tell you now.
[03:58] ---
    They've been killed.
[03:59] ---
    H-How? By who?!
[04:02] ---
    We don't know.
[04:03] ---
    I was just headed over to the scene myself.
[04:06] ---
    We're coming, too!
[04:07] ---
    No.
[04:08] ---
    Why not?!
[04:11] ---
    It's best you don't see this.
[04:16] ---
    He's still one step ahead of us, huh?
[04:19] ---
    We have to catch up quickly.
    The way things are going...
[04:24] ---
    You sound as though you
    were expecting this to happen.
[04:26] ---
    What's going on?
[04:32] ---
    God has given us a trial!
[04:35] ---
    Wicked heathens have been
    spreading false rumors to disrupt our faith,
[04:40] ---
    and the military is planning to oppress us!
[04:43] ---
    But we must not give in!
[04:45] ---
    Now is the time to rise up, with weapon in hand!
[04:48] ---
    In the name of the great god Leto!
[04:50] ---
    Yeah! We have the god Leto on our side!
[04:54] ---
    Down with the heathens!
[04:56] ---
    Hey, don't be fooled!
[04:57] ---
    Those are just lies he's telling us!
[05:00] ---
    Silence!
[05:01] ---
    You guys are pawns of the heathens!
[05:05] ---
    Humans are so hopelessly foolish.
[05:19] ---
    Don't you think so, Gluttony?
[05:21] ---
    Fools, fools.
[05:23] ---
    Yeah, that's the truth.
[05:25] ---
    Well, well, if it isn't the Father.
[05:27] ---
    Father.
[05:29] ---
    Sorry to have to put you to all this trouble.
[05:32] ---
    Once this is over, I'll be heading right back
[05:34] ---
    to the city that I'm in charge of.
[05:37] ---
    The Fullmetal boy interfered with our work here,
[05:40] ---
    but we ended up making good use of it.
[05:42] ---
    It looks like we'll finish ahead of schedule.
[05:45] ---
    You manipulated a little information,
[05:48] ---
    and I whipped up the believers,
    and that's all it took to get this.
[05:51] ---
    Humans are such simpletons.
[05:55] ---
    Bloodshed leads to more bloodshed,
[05:57] ---
    hatred leads to more hatred,
    and all the energy that swells up
[06:01] ---
    takes root in the land,
    carving out a crest of blood.
[06:05] ---
    No matter how many times
    they repeat it, they never learn.
[06:09] ---
    Humans are foolish, miserable creatures.
[06:12] ---
    Which is why they play
    right into our hands, don't they?
[06:17] ---
    Are lots of people gonna die again?
[06:19] ---
    Yes, they will.
[06:21] ---
    Can I eat all the ones who are dead?
[06:23] ---
    No, you can't.
[06:25] ---
    By the way, Envy, how long
    are you planning to look like that?
[06:28] ---
    It's grossing me out.
[06:30] ---
    Aw, I'm just in the moment.
[06:33] ---
    But as long as I'm going to transform anyway,
[06:35] ---
    something young and cute would be better, huh?
[06:42] ---
    A-A monster!
[06:44] ---
    What's going on here?! The Father...
[06:46] ---
    where has the real Father Cornello gone?!
[06:49] ---
    What do we do?
[06:50] ---
    He called me a monster. That was rude, huh?
[06:53] ---
    Can I eat him?
[06:58] ---
    Come to think of it, I hear
    Shou Tucker in East City has been killed.
[07:03] ---
    Tucker? Ah, who cares about that small fry?
[07:07] ---
    But it was him who killed him.
[07:11] ---
    Speaking of East City,
    isn't the Flame Colonel there?
[07:15] ---
    Yeah, and apparently,
    the Fullmetal pipsqueak is staying there, too.
[07:19] ---
    Fullmetal?
[07:20] ---
    I'm incensed that he interfered with our work,
[07:23] ---
    but we can't very well let him die, either.
[07:26] ---
    He's an important sacrifice, and all.
[07:29] ---
    That was yummy.
[07:31] ---
    All right. We'll deal with it somehow.
[07:34] ---
    So, what was his name, again?
[07:38] ---
    Scar?
[07:39] ---
    The scarred man?
[07:41] ---
    Yeah. We don't know anything about
    who he is, so that's what we're calling him.
[07:45] ---
    Our target is not only
    unidentified, but elusive.
[07:48] ---
    The only information we have about him
[07:51] ---
    is the large scar on his forehead.
[07:53] ---
    I've heard the stories about him.
[07:55] ---
    So that's who you're pursuing?
[07:57] ---
    By order of the military police command center.
[08:00] ---
    And here my work at the
    court-martial office is piling up, too.
[08:02] ---
    My head hurts.
[08:04] ---
    He has killed five people in Central,
    all State Alchemists.
[08:07] ---
    Nationwide, there have been
    ten who have fallen prey to him.
[08:11] ---
    Five days ago, old man Grand was done in.
[08:14] ---
    Brig. General Grand?!
[08:16] ---
    He's the top figure on weapon
    transmutation and hand-to-hand combat!
[08:19] ---
    That just tells you how dangerous this guy is.
[08:22] ---
    Increase your escort and lie low
    for a while. Nobody will blame you.
[08:26] ---
    I'm also asking you
    to do this as a close friend.
[08:29] ---
    The only ones of any note
    around here are you and Tucker, right?
[08:33] ---
    Oh, no!
[08:36] ---
    I've been thinking for a long time,
    what is the alchemy that we believe in?
[08:43] ---
    "Alchemy is knowing the laws
    and flow that exists within matter,
[08:47] ---
    its decomposition, and reconstruction."
[08:51] ---
    "The world also follows laws and
    has a flow, and everything circulates.
[08:55] ---
    The death of people is a
    part of that flow. Accept the flow."
[09:01] ---
    That's what Teacher would always say to us.
[09:04] ---
    I thought I understood it.
    But I didn't understand.
[09:09] ---
    That's why we transmuted Mom.
[09:12] ---
    And now, I'm thinking again,
    isn't there something we can do
[09:14] ---
    about something we can't do anything about?
[09:19] ---
    I'm such an idiot.
    I haven't grown at all since then.
[09:25] ---
    I thought the rain might wash
    away some of this gloom from me.
[09:31] ---
    But right now, every drop
    hitting my face is depressing.
[09:37] ---
    And since I don't have a body,
[09:39] ---
    I can't even feel the rain hitting my skin.
[09:42] ---
    That's something I miss. It pains me.
[09:45] ---
    I really want to get my body
    back again soon, and be human again.
[09:50] ---
    Even if it means going
    against the flow of the world,
[09:53] ---
    and it's something we can't do anything about.
[09:57] ---
    You are the Fullmetal Alchemist,
    Edward Elric, right?
[10:05] ---
    Brother!
[10:14] ---
    What the hell...?!
[10:23] ---
    Who is this guy? This is bad... this is bad...
[10:28] ---
    I have to get away...
    this is bad... this is bad...
[10:31] ---
    Al! Run!
[10:41] ---
    You're not getting away.
[10:48] ---
    Brother!
[10:59] ---
    Al! Grab on!
[11:10] ---
    Damn it, what's this about?!
    Making enemies is something I've never...
[11:15] ---
    ...really avoided, but...
[11:18] ---
    ...there's no reason for
    anyone to try to kill me!
[11:28] ---
    Yowww...
[11:31] ---
    Who are you?! Why are you coming after us?!
[11:34] ---
    If there are "creators," like you,
[11:37] ---
    then there must also be "destroyers."
[11:40] ---
    You're saying we have to fight, then?
[11:48] ---
    You're gutsy.
[11:50] ---
    But still...
[11:56] ---
    you're too slow!
[12:02] ---
    Al!
[12:13] ---
    There's nothing inside?
[12:14] ---
    You bastard!
[12:19] ---
    Too slow!
[12:23] ---
    Damn!
[12:24] ---
    Automail? I see, so that's why
    bodily destruction didn't injure you.
[12:30] ---
    You are an unusual one.
[12:35] ---
    Brother, don't. You should run away.
[12:37] ---
    You dumb ass!
[12:39] ---
    How can I run away and leave you behind?!
[12:41] ---
    You press your hands together to make a ring,
[12:42] ---
    and then perform transmutation,
    is that it? In that case...
[12:48] ---
    I will start by destroying this
    abhorrent right arm of yours.
[12:53] ---
    Brother!
[13:03] ---
    Now you won't be able to use your alchemy.
[13:10] ---
    I will give you a moment to pray to God.
[13:12] ---
    Brother, run!
[13:14] ---
    Brother!
[13:16] ---
    Unfortunately, I don't have
    any god I'd like to pray to.
[13:21] ---
    Am I the only one you're after?
[13:24] ---
    Are you planning to kill my brother, Al, too?
[13:27] ---
    If he interferes, I will eliminate him.
[13:30] ---
    However, Fullmetal Alchemist, you are
    the only one who is receiving judgment.
[13:36] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[13:38] ---
    Then promise me you won't harm my brother!
[13:44] ---
    Brother...
[13:45] ---
    I will keep that promise.
[13:47] ---
    What are you talking about, Brother?
[13:50] ---
    What are you doing? Run!
[13:52] ---
    Get up and run!
[13:54] ---
    Stop! Stop!
[13:57] ---
    Stop!
[13:58] ---
    Why, you...!
[14:02] ---
    That's far enough.
    You sure have been on a royal tear, Scar!
[14:08] ---
    I'm taking you into custody,
    for being the culprit
[14:11] ---
    behind a string of State Alchemist killings.
[14:13] ---
    Alchemists are those who change things
[14:16] ---
    from their natural form
    into something grotesque.
[14:19] ---
    That is to say, they profane God,
    the Creator of all things.
[14:23] ---
    As an agent of God,
    I am he who hands down his judgment.
[14:27] ---
    If you interfere, I will eliminate you, as well.
[14:30] ---
    This should be interesting.
[14:33] ---
    You guys stay out of this.
[14:34] ---
    Colonel Mustang!
[14:36] ---
    Mustang... the Flame Alchemist.
[14:40] ---
    To think that you would voluntarily
    come forward to receive judgment,
[14:43] ---
    What an auspicious day this is!
[14:45] ---
    You know my name, and
    would still challenge me to battle?
[14:47] ---
    What a fool you are!
[14:57] ---
    What did you do that for all of a sudden?!
[14:59] ---
    Colonel, you're useless on
    rainy days, so please, stay back!
[15:02] ---
    "Useless"
[15:03] ---
    Oh, right. He can't make
    sparks when it's this soggy, huh?
[15:07] ---
    It is fortunate that you cannot
    create flames, State Alchemist.
[15:12] ---
    For I will destroy all who
    interfere with my mission,
[15:14] ---
    right here and now!
[15:15] ---
    Just try it!
[15:19] ---
    A newcomer?
[15:20] ---
    To be able to avoid my
    blow is not bad. Not bad at all.
[15:25] ---
    You said you would destroy us all, right?
[15:28] ---
    Then you can start by defeating me!
[15:32] ---
    The Strong Arm Alchemist, Alex Louis Armstrong!
[15:37] ---
    It's just one after the next.
    Could this be the guidance of God?
[15:41] ---
    You won't back down, then?
[15:43] ---
    To show my respect for your courage,
    allow me to demonstrate
[15:46] ---
    the artistic alchemy that has been passed down
[15:49] ---
    among the Armstrong family for generations!
[15:58] ---
    Who is he?
[16:00] ---
    The criminal who murdered Mr. Tucker.
[16:05] ---
    He's the one...?!
[16:07] ---
    Easy, Major! Please don't go
    destroying the city so much!
[16:10] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[16:11] ---
    Destruction and creation
    are two sides of the same coin!
[16:14] ---
    Destroy to create!
    Such is the law of the universe!
[16:18] ---
    Why did he strip down?
[16:20] ---
    His logic is crazy.
[16:23] ---
    If you were an alchemist,
    like me, you wouldn't think it so crazy.
[16:26] ---
    Isn't that right, Scar?
[16:30] ---
    He's an alchemist, too?
[16:32] ---
    That's it. The transmutation process of alchemy
[16:36] ---
    are the three stages of "comprehension,"
    "decomposition," and "reconstruction."
[16:39] ---
    He just stops at the "decomposition" stage.
[16:42] ---
    If he's an alchemist, too, doesn't that mean
[16:45] ---
    he's also turned his back on
    whatever the "ways of God" are?
[16:50] ---
    What's more, why is he only going
    after those with state certification?
[17:02] ---
    He carries himself unusually well for his size,
[17:04] ---
    and has superhuman destructive force.
[17:06] ---
    Then there's his alchemy.
    He does pose trouble, to be sure...
[17:11] ---
    I have you cornered!
[17:13] ---
    But there's a moment where
    he takes too wide a swing!
[17:16] ---
    There it is!
[17:19] ---
    He's backing up?!
[17:25] ---
    Did you get him?!
[17:26] ---
    He's too fast. I just grazed him with one shot.
[17:32] ---
    Brown skin and red eyes!
[17:36] ---
    He's an Ishvalan?!
[17:41] ---
    I'm surrounded.
[17:42] ---
    Whoa, don't move. You can't slip out of...
[17:54] ---
    That bastard! He went into the sewers!
[17:55] ---
    --Don't go after him.
    --I'm not going after anyone that dangerous!
[17:59] ---
    Sorry. And after you bought us
    enough time to surround him, too.
[18:04] ---
    No, far from buying time for you,
[18:06] ---
    it was all I could do to
    keep from getting killed.
[18:09] ---
    Oh, is it over?
[18:11] ---
    Lt. Colonel, Hughes,
    where have you been up to now?
[18:13] ---
    Back taking shelter.
[18:15] ---
    You could back us up, or something!
[18:17] ---
    Lay off.
    Don't go dragging a normal person like me
[18:19] ---
    into this freak show with
    you bunch of pseudo-humans!
[18:24] ---
    Don't just stand around,
    we've got things to do, you know!
[18:26] ---
    Deploy troops throughout the city!
[18:27] ---
    Circulate his description!
[18:28] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:29] ---
    Alphonse...
[18:31] ---
    Alphonse!
[18:35] ---
    Al! Hey, are you all right?!
[18:37] ---
    So that's Elric's younger brother, is it?
[18:40] ---
    Looks like there's a
    long story behind that, huh?
[18:43] ---
    Al! Alphonse!
[18:46] ---
    Why didn't you run away when
    I told you to?! You stupid brother!
[18:50] ---
    Well, I couldn't just run
    away and leave you here, Al.
[18:52] ---
    Which is why you're stupid!
[18:56] ---
    B-But why?! If I had run away,
    you could have been killed, you know!
[19:01] ---
    And maybe I wouldn't have been killed!
[19:03] ---
    Intentionally choosing to die is
    something only someone stupid would do!
[19:07] ---
    Hey, go easy on saying
    your older brother is stupid!
[19:09] ---
    I'll say it as much as I like!
[19:12] ---
    Live on, live on, and survive!
[19:14] ---
    Once you do some more research into alchemy,
[19:16] ---
    you could find a way to get our bodies back,
[19:19] ---
    as well as a way to save kids like Nina!
[19:22] ---
    I won't ever allow you to do anything
[19:25] ---
    to abandon those possibilities,
    and choose death!
[19:29] ---
    Ah! And now my arm has come off, hasn't it?!
[19:32] ---
    Brother, you stupid jerk!
[19:38] ---
    We're falling apart, huh?
[19:41] ---
    Saying we look terrible
    doesn't begin to cover it.
[19:45] ---
    But we're still alive.
[19:47] ---
    Mm-hmm, we're still alive.
[19:50] ---
    Good grief, this is an
    extra special freak show, huh?
[19:54] ---
    Sorry.
[19:55] ---
    Okay, I won't tell anyone upstairs.
[19:59] ---
    If this got out, it would
    cause all sorts of trouble, right?
[20:02] ---
    Yeah. The older brother aside,
[20:04] ---
    we couldn't explain away
    the younger brother's body.
[20:10] ---
    I have to admit, though,
[20:12] ---
    you've got a real tough
    customer coming after you.
[20:15] ---
    The Ishvalan?
[20:25] ---
    The Ishvalans were a race of people to the east
[20:28] ---
    who believed that Ishvala
    is the one, absolute Creator.
[20:32] ---
    Even after they were annexed into the country,
[20:35] ---
    there were conflicts with a portion of them,
[20:37] ---
    but 13 years ago, there was an incident
[20:40] ---
    where a military officer
    accidentally shot an Ishvalan child dead,
[20:43] ---
    and it developed into a civil war.
[20:50] ---
    One uprising led to another,
[20:52] ---
    and before long the rebellion had
    spread to the whole eastern sector.
[20:55] ---
    After seven years of back-and-forth,
[20:58] ---
    the order that came down
    from the military command...
[21:02] ---
    was to exterminate Ishval.
[21:05] ---
    Many State Alchemists were
    brought in to act as human weapons.
[21:17] ---
    The State Alchemists produced striking results.
[21:22] ---
    Which is why that man, an Ishvalan survivor,
    has justification in taking revenge.
[21:27] ---
    That's nonsense!
[21:29] ---
    There's no justification for dragging people
[21:31] ---
    who had nothing to do
    with that into his revenge!
[21:33] ---
    He's just dressing up his ugly lust for
    revenge by calling himself an agent of God,
[21:37] ---
    and acting all arrogant!
[21:39] ---
    Still, the fact is, he's
    coming at us with fangs bared.
[21:43] ---
    And we can't let ourselves be killed, either.
[21:46] ---
    The next time we meet, there'll be no more talk.
[21:48] ---
    We crush him!
[21:49] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:52] ---
    Ed, Al, what are you going to do, now?
[21:59] ---
    We're going to start walking again.
[22:01] ---
    We can't stand still, you know.
    Not as long as we're still alive.
[22:04] ---
    Brother...
[22:06] ---
    First thing we have to do,
    to fix your body,
[22:08] ---
    is to get my arm back to normal.
[22:10] ---
    I'm the only one who knows how to
    bond your soul to the armor, after all.
[22:14] ---
    Yep.
[22:16] ---
    We've got little choice.
[22:18] ---
    It's been a long time. Let's go back
[22:20] ---
    and pay a visit to our mechanic!
[22:27] ---
    Do you remember the ruby sky
[22:33] ---
    we saw that day?
[22:38] ---
    The two of us drew close,
    encircled by promises, vows
[22:44] ---
    and an early summer's breeze
[22:52] ---
    I hide the shadow
[22:58] ---
    that stretches out behind my forced smile
[23:03] ---
    So pretending not to notice, I choose rebirth
[23:14] ---
    I kept waiting for settling news on the table,
[23:25] ---
    knowing all about the empty night,
[23:30] ---
    and the morning that would not come
[23:35] ---
    Someday, you will remember the ruby sky
[23:40] ---
    we saw that day
[23:45] ---
    Embracing the promise we couldn't keep,
[23:51] ---
    the two of us start walking
[23:59] ---
    In order to rest their bodies
    that were injured in battle,
[24:02] ---
    Ed and Al return to Resembool,
[24:04] ---
    where they are met by Winry's smile.
[24:07] ---
    Meanwhile, the Philosopher's Stone shows itself
[24:11] ---
    before Ed and the others,
    together with a profound mystery.
[24:14] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:19] ---
    Episode 6: "Road of Hope."
[24:21] ---
    What will the wind blowing over
    the hill at sunset bring the boy?
