    You're free to shoot everyone
    but Colonel Mustang!
[01:42] ---
    Huh?
[01:48] ---
    They're free to shoot everyone but
    Colonel Mustang... which means,
[01:52] ---
    they're free to shoot the missus?
[01:57] ---
    Those are words that I wanted to hear, but...
[02:00] ---
    Have I...
[02:02] ---
    I mean, has my husband been
    forsaken by this country?
[02:07] ---
    Or has my husband forsaken me?
[02:13] ---
    I do not know.
[02:16] ---
    However, I promise you,
    we will protect your life.
[02:22] ---
    To prove to you, once everything
    is over, that we were not wrong.
[02:35] ---
    Reinforcements coming in! Hurry!
[02:37] ---
    We've spared your lives.
[02:39] ---
    If we had been Briggs soldiers, you'd be dead.
[02:42] ---
    What?!
[02:47] ---
    Colonel, long time no see.
[02:49] ---
    Mm-hmm, good work.
    Where is General Grumman?
[02:53] ---
    Finishing up with the train accident.
[02:56] ---
    You haven't told the missus
    about the Fuhrer going missing?
[03:00] ---
    No. If she faints or anything,
    it will be harder to move her.
[03:09] ---
    This place is teeming with them.
    You're quite popular, Colonel.
[03:13] ---
    You got that right.
[03:21] ---
    Haven't you dealt with him yet?!
[03:23] ---
    What are you doing?!
    There are only five of them!
[03:26] ---
    The enemy force has increased!
[03:28] ---
    There's at least a platoon's worth of them now!
[03:31] ---
    What are our losses?!
[03:33] ---
    59 men injured, 0 dead.
[03:37] ---
    Zero?
[03:42] ---
    Damn it! Are you all right?
[03:45] ---
    Yeah, more or less.
[03:47] ---
    The Flame Alchemist is that one guy,
[03:50] ---
    the one who was so incredible in Ishval, right?
[03:52] ---
    It's funny, he doesn't seem all that impressive.
[03:55] ---
    You're right. He's made nothing
    but penny-ante explosions here.
[04:03] ---
    Jess! Parky!
[04:05] ---
    Damn, my eardrum is blown!
[04:07] ---
    What's the toll?
[04:08] ---
    Five wounded, none dead!
[04:11] ---
    We're lucky nobody got killed.
[04:18] ---
    They've got both the Hero
    of Ishval and the Hawk's Eye.
[04:21] ---
    It's strange that none of
    our men have been killed...
[04:25] ---
    Unless...!
[04:32] ---
    No doubt about it! They're...
[04:35] ---
    They're going easy?!
[04:37] ---
    Yes, sir. We have many wounded,
[04:40] ---
    but up to now, no fatalities.
[04:41] ---
    Even those who have been shot
    have been hit in non-critical areas.
[04:45] ---
    Th-They're mocking us...
[04:49] ---
    Send Dimitri Squad and Kim Squad!
[04:51] ---
    Stack up the bodies of Mustang's
    men right here, immediately!
[04:55] ---
    Hasn't Mustang been caught yet?
[04:58] ---
    What is General Cremin doing?
[05:01] ---
    They aren't killing our men,
[05:04] ---
    but instead, they're whittling down our forces.
[05:06] ---
    There's no way they can keep up
    their crafty little charade.
[05:10] ---
    Colonel Mustang is too soft.
[05:12] ---
    Absolutely. What is he thinking?
[05:17] ---
    And nothing is softer than the
    Central forces, who can't defeat him.
[05:22] ---
    They're almost like children at play.
[05:24] ---
    What was that?
[05:26] ---
    Come to think of it,
    there was a single rebel earlier,
[05:30] ---
    who nearly froze the
    command center, wasn't there?
[05:33] ---
    From the nation's founding,
[05:37] ---
    there hasn't been a large enemy
    force that has attacked Central.
[05:40] ---
    This lack of experience is what's at fault.
[05:44] ---
    They may be good on offense,
    but their defense is appalling.
[05:50] ---
    Why don't you let me have
    a few of the Central forces?
[05:55] ---
    Don't get carried away, Armstrong!
[05:58] ---
    Do you think you're in your
    position because of merit?
[06:02] ---
    You're just being detained here.
[06:06] ---
    We know that the connection
    between Briggs' forces
[06:10] ---
    and yourself is strong.
    As such, keeping you here
[06:13] ---
    is a powerful restraint against
    having the Briggs soldiers rebel.
[06:19] ---
    You people don't know a thing about us!
[06:23] ---
    I've told them that if there is
    an emergency, to abandon me.
[06:29] ---
    The law of Briggs is survival of the fittest.
[06:33] ---
    Even if I were to kick the bucket here,
[06:35] ---
    they are a force that could just
    write me off as being weak,
[06:39] ---
    and keep on moving.
    That's who the Briggs soldiers are.
[06:45] ---
    Don't speak about the men I've
    trained like you know who they are!
[06:50] ---
    Colonel Mustang is exchanging fire
[06:51] ---
    in the manufacturing quarter on the west side.
[06:54] ---
    There are many soldiers being dispatched there.
[07:05] ---
    We're moving out.
    You can kiss this cellar goodbye.
[07:08] ---
    Sink your teeth into the windpipes
    of those Central pantywaists!
[07:17] ---
    See? Here they come.
[07:19] ---
    Men of valor, all of them more than a match
[07:21] ---
    for the giant bears of Briggs Mountain.
[07:24] ---
    I wonder which are stronger:
    them, or your vaunted dolls?
[07:34] ---
    Damn!
[07:41] ---
    New forces?
[07:42] ---
    Impossible! Where did they spring up from?!
[07:44] ---
    They just suddenly appeared
    in the middle of town.
[07:47] ---
    What is this, sorcery? How did they do that?!
[07:49] ---
    You guys head in there, too!
[07:52] ---
    What's the enemy's number?!
[07:53] ---
    Unknown. However, judging from their gear,
[07:56] ---
    I believe they are Northern soldiers.
[07:58] ---
    From Briggs?!
[08:03] ---
    Inside the Armstrong mansion?!
[08:05] ---
    Yeah. Under cover of the repairs to the mansion,
[08:08] ---
    we moved soldiers and weapons into the cellar.
[08:11] ---
    Just how huge is that house?!
[08:13] ---
    Charlie, give me some ammo.
[08:15] ---
    Sorry, but I'm out, too.
[08:17] ---
    Now what do we do?
    Isn't the supply unit here yet?
[08:21] ---
    You don't think they've been captured, do you?
[08:23] ---
    Guys, if it comes to that, leave me
    here and get yourselves away.
[08:26] ---
    Roger that!
[08:29] ---
    Don't you mean, "We'll stay
    with you until the end"?
[08:32] ---
    I'm not going out surrounded by men.
[08:34] ---
    I've got a wife waiting for me at home.
[08:38] ---
    Ah, you don't say!
[08:45] ---
    Th-They've all but stopped
    fighting back with their guns.
[08:49] ---
    C-Could they be just about out of ammunition?
[08:51] ---
    All right, we're moving in on them!
[08:53] ---
    Round up everyone we have left!
[09:03] ---
    Yoo-hoo, Riza!
[09:05] ---
    Rebecca, you're late!
[09:07] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[09:08] ---
    I've got some nice presents for
    those of you who've been waiting!
[09:14] ---
    --Awesome!
    --It's not just ammo, either,
    they even brought this?!
[09:17] ---
    Way to go, Rebecca! I love you!
[09:19] ---
    You hush! Men with no money
    don't get to flirt with me!
[09:25] ---
    --Here you go.
    --Mm-hmm, thanks.
[09:28] ---
    Long time no see, Colonel Mustang.
[09:36] ---
    Second Lieutenant Maria Ross,
    returning without orders!
[09:45] ---
    Why aren't those guys charging in here?
[09:48] ---
    We've got the Flame Alchemist with us,
[09:50] ---
    so they have to be careful about approaching.
[09:53] ---
    But we're in the middle of town,
[09:54] ---
    so the colonel can't get too wild with his flames.
[09:56] ---
    Oh, dear, here I came to Central
    to snag me a nice man,
[10:00] ---
    and you're all a bunch of wusses!
[10:16] ---
    D-Damn it!
[10:22] ---
    It's a tear-gas bomb from Xing.
    It's got extra pepper spray.
[10:26] ---
    Huh? By any chance, did you
    get all of this from Xing?
[10:30] ---
    I didn't hear that you were
    part of this operation.
[10:34] ---
    Did you procure this many
    weapons all on your own?
[10:38] ---
    Or did someone else order this?
[10:40] ---
    Would you like to speak
    to them personally, sir?
[10:51] ---
    Okay!
[10:52] ---
    Here you go.
[10:54] ---
    Some Xingese dignitary?
[10:58] ---
    This is Colonel Roy Mustang,
    of the armed forces.
[11:01] ---
    I am honored to be able to...
[11:04] ---
    Man, you sound so respectful!
[11:07] ---
    Let's just keep it to our regular tone, Colonel.
[11:12] ---
    In your hearts for 80 years,
[11:14] ---
    with everything from underwear
    elastic to armored vehicles,
[11:16] ---
    delivered to you, anytime,
    any place, with just a phone call,
[11:20] ---
    we're your neighborhood Havoc General Store!
[11:23] ---
    Havoc!
[11:26] ---
    So, who gets the bill?
[11:28] ---
    I'll pay you when I've made it big. Start a tab!
[11:42] ---
    There's smoke rising in the city.
    I can faintly hear sirens, too.
[11:47] ---
    Looks like the colonel and the
    Briggs guys are on the move.
[11:52] ---
    Central is in chaos right about now.
[11:59] ---
    I guess we should be going.
[12:00] ---
    Yeah. The nationwide transmutation
    circle counter is in place,
[12:05] ---
    but best to keep it from
    activating in the first place.
[12:09] ---
    He's still inside a flask;
    he's just gotten a lot bigger.
[12:13] ---
    If we smash his container, he'll die.
[12:18] ---
    We can also free the souls of people
    that he has trapped inside him.
[12:27] ---
    But how do we get to where he is?
[12:30] ---
    We use the underground passageway
    that I took with May earlier.
[12:34] ---
    There will be a ton of vicious Chimeras,
[12:37] ---
    but with a crew like this,
    we should make it through.
[12:39] ---
    Heinkel, you hold down the fort here.
[12:41] ---
    Yeah. I owe you one.
[12:43] ---
    Don't worry about it. Dr. Marcoh,
    don't let the military find you.
[12:47] ---
    Yoki...
[12:49] ---
    You stay behind, too.
[12:51] ---
    G-Gladly!
[13:00] ---
    Al...
[13:02] ---
    What, Brother?
[13:04] ---
    I'm going to pop out for a bit
[13:06] ---
    and kick that underground bearded guy's ass.
[13:09] ---
    Be careful.
[13:11] ---
    Yeah.
[13:33] ---
    The city sure is in an uproar, huh?
[13:35] ---
    We should hurry.
[13:37] ---
    Father is about to show off
    the secrets of immortality.
[13:42] ---
    All right!
[13:55] ---
    We'll cordon off this area!
[13:57] ---
    Do not let Mustang's squad
    or the Briggs soldiers
[13:59] ---
    set one foot past here!
[14:03] ---
    Have your soldiers pull out of there at once!
[14:06] ---
    You're the ones who stole the command
    of Briggs away from me, right?
[14:09] ---
    Do you think you won't pay for this?!
[14:13] ---
    What about you? Do you
    think you won't pay for this?
[14:16] ---
    You must have heard from that "Father" guy.
[14:19] ---
    What he's going to sacrifice,
    and what he's going to obtain.
[14:22] ---
    Yeah, I heard. Those of us who
    are chosen will rise even higher,
[14:28] ---
    while Amestris here changes the world!
[14:31] ---
    The pain that accompanies
    this change cannot be avoided!
[14:35] ---
    Why can't you understand that?!
[14:38] ---
    You guys are hopeless.
[14:40] ---
    What?
[14:47] ---
    Folks like you, who watch the battlefield
[14:50] ---
    from the comfort of a safety zone,
[14:53] ---
    make pain out to be
    something lofty, and exploit it.
[14:58] ---
    You would turn traitor?!
[15:00] ---
    Who knows? Once this is all over,
    I might be a hero. However...
[15:07] ---
    ...you'll find I'm not as merciful
    as the Hero of Ishval!
[15:11] ---
    W-Wait!
[15:15] ---
    What?!
[15:19] ---
    Sir!
[15:39] ---
    Major Armstrong!
[15:41] ---
    Sergeant Brosh...
[15:43] ---
    Isn't this your day off?
[15:45] ---
    I saw the smoke from my house.
    What is going on, sir?
[15:50] ---
    Colonel Mustang and his former men
    have taken the Fuhrer's wife hostage
[15:54] ---
    and are fleeing through town.
[15:57] ---
    Huh?!
[15:58] ---
    How cowardly of him! First he kills
    the innocent Lieutenant Ross,
[16:02] ---
    and now he has Mrs. Bradley!
[16:04] ---
    The man's a devil in disguise!
[16:11] ---
    Major!
[16:15] ---
    General Armstrong just shot General Gardner
[16:17] ---
    in one of the command center conference rooms.
[16:20] ---
    She killed him?!
[16:25] ---
    Hmm, things are progressing
    faster than I imagined.

[16:30] ---
    I have to find the Young Lord soon.
[16:33] ---
    Then again, I can't trace his presence,
[16:35] ---
    because the gigantic flow of chi
    from underground is interfering.

[16:39] ---
    My word...
[16:41] ---
    It feels like the underground presence*
[16:43] ---
    has spread itself out since yesterday...
[17:40] ---
    This won't work.
[17:42] ---
    The military is using it as a mustering point.
[17:44] ---
    We can't get near it.
[17:46] ---
    It looks like it would be a bit
    tough to force our way through.
[17:52] ---
    There is another way in!
[17:55] ---
    The 3rd Laboratory!
    Al and the colonel broke in before,
[17:59] ---
    and fought that Homunculus!
[18:08] ---
    There are three guards at the entrance.
[18:11] ---
    Well then, let's have a go at them.
[18:13] ---
    No, a situation like this
    calls for me to use my title.
[18:18] ---
    Hey, Mr. M.P.!
[18:21] ---
    I'm Edward Elric, the State Alchemist!
[18:24] ---
    Eh? A State Alchemist?!
[18:27] ---
    Please help me! I'm being chased by Scar!
[18:31] ---
    The man on the wanted list!
[18:33] ---
    Don't move!
[18:45] ---
    That was pretty mean of you.
[18:47] ---
    Shut up. Let's go.
[18:52] ---
    Excuse us, coming through!
[18:54] ---
    I'm sure it was right around here...
[18:59] ---
    Here it is!
[19:17] ---
    Should we split up into two teams?
[19:18] ---
    Yeah.
[19:20] ---
    I'll go this way.
    Edward and Scar, you go that way.
[19:23] ---
    Wha--?!
[19:25] ---
    Why do I get stuck with him?!
[19:27] ---
    Call it distribution of alchemic power.
[19:31] ---
    Besides, when he used his
    alchemist-stopper technique,
[19:35] ---
    Scar could still use his, but you
    were helpless, weren't you?
[19:39] ---
    Okay, that settles it,
    these two are a pair. What else?
[19:43] ---
    I'm a bit beyond standard,
    so I should be fine on my own.
[19:48] ---
    However...
[19:51] ---
    ...as long as she's here,
[19:52] ---
    why don't I take the Xingese
    young lady along as my bodyguard?
[19:58] ---
    All right, once we find him,
    we smash him with all our might.
[20:02] ---
    Roger!
[20:05] ---
    Are you sure you'll be okay,
    with just the two of you?
[20:08] ---
    We'll be fine. This old man would
    be happier with just the young lady.
[20:17] ---
    Dirty old man.
[20:18] ---
    Let's go, let's go.
[20:36] ---
    You need to search for
    the Xingese prince, right?
[20:49] ---
    Go on.
[20:51] ---
    Er, but...
[20:53] ---
    Don't worry about us.
[20:56] ---
    He's dear to you, right?
[21:09] ---
    Thank you... very much...
[21:29] ---
    Criminy, what a pathetic bunch.
[21:32] ---
    They can't even handle those
    Briggs Mountain monkeys.
[21:35] ---
    Please, wait! The multiple
    soul-bonding tests haven't yet been--
[21:38] ---
    Shut up! If we don't use them now,
    when will we ever?!
[21:45] ---
    It was for a time like this that
    we worked so hard to make
[21:48] ---
    all these Philosopher's Stones, wasn't it?!
[22:01] ---
    Now, move! Dig into those rebels!

[24:08] ---
    their souls are no less human.

[24:17] ---

[24:21] ---
    To kill, or not to kill?
