[01:36] ---
    A Philosopher's Stone!
[01:37] ---
    Where did he get one of those?
[01:43] ---
    Dust in our eyes again?
[02:29] ---
    I won't fall for that again!
[02:36] ---
    A flash bomb!
[02:40] ---
    It was a decoy!
[02:43] ---
    That's a Philosopher's Stone for you.
[02:46] ---
    From one trick to the next...
[03:01] ---
    Indeed, the power of a Philosopher's
    Stone is something to behold.
[03:05] ---
    I've used one myself, so I would know.
[03:11] ---
    Which is why I'm puzzled.
[03:13] ---
    Why do you not use that power
    to get your own body back?
[03:21] ---
    With the Stone, it would be an
    easy matter for you to flee from us.
[03:25] ---
    And once you've gotten away,
    you could use the Stone,
[03:27] ---
    and the two of you could
    return to your original bodies.
[03:30] ---
    Then your journey would
    be at an end, wouldn't it?
[03:34] ---
    If I did that, I couldn't save everyone.
[03:37] ---
    So it's to fulfill your earnest wish, then.
[03:40] ---
    In order to obtain something,
    you have to discard something else.
[03:45] ---
    Tell me...
[03:48] ---
    Why are there only two choices?
[03:53] ---
    It's not right that I can only choose between
[03:57] ---
    "return to our original bodies"
    and "save everyone."
[04:01] ---
    Why isn't "return to our original bodies
[04:04] ---
    and save everyone" among our choices?
[04:10] ---
    What about the Law of Equivalent Exchange?
[04:13] ---
    I think that seeking possibilities
    without being bound by laws
[04:17] ---
    is necessary for mankind to advance.
[04:20] ---
    I see. So you're saying that if it comes to pass,
[04:25] ---
    it will be acknowledged
    as a new law by the world,
[04:29] ---
    is that right?
[04:35] ---
    In that case, there is one other possibility:
[04:38] ---
    "you don't get back your bodies,
[04:40] ---
    and you don't save everyone,"
    must be one of the choices.
[04:59] ---
    I'm not through yet!
[05:15] ---
    Good! Under his skin, he's vulnerable!
[05:20] ---
    Ow... I'm dying... What a bother...
[05:27] ---
    Dying... is a bother...
[05:33] ---
    What a bother...
[05:37] ---
    Fighting all-out... is an ultra-bother...
[05:42] ---
    What?
[05:45] ---
    General Armstrong!
    Throw down your weapon and--
[05:49] ---
    What is that huge thing?
[06:07] ---
    What was that?
[06:10] ---
    I... missed...
[06:21] ---
    W-What speed!
[06:24] ---
    Sloth, the Indolent...
[06:26] ---
    Sister!
[06:28] ---
    He grazed me slightly.
[06:31] ---
    Did you see him just now?
[06:33] ---
    Only the blur.
[06:36] ---
    For him to move with that speed,
    as heavy as he is...
[06:38] ---
    No way, that's below the belt.
[06:42] ---
    Yes... I am... the fastest Homunculus.
[06:51] ---
    Alex!
[06:54] ---
    He's too fast to be able to control himself.
[07:00] ---
    Oh, no--
[07:04] ---
    Finally... hit you...
[07:17] ---
    Mmm, I love that sound.
[07:20] ---
    Is there anything that
    strikes a more beautiful note
[07:23] ---
    than the sound of two strong wills
    colliding with each other?
[07:30] ---
    Alphonse Elric is still close by.
[07:34] ---
    Indeed he is.
[07:36] ---
    It will take more than that to kill him.
[07:46] ---
    There!
[07:54] ---
    Dust in our eyes again?
    How artless. It won't work.
[08:09] ---
    I told you, I can tell where you are by your smell.
[08:13] ---
    Checkmate.
[08:15] ---
    I'm not so sure.
[08:17] ---
    This is the part where we humans
    show off how tenacious we are.
[08:24] ---
    Even with a Philosopher's Stone,
[08:26] ---
    there's no way you can win all on your own.
[08:27] ---
    I'm not alone!
[08:32] ---
    Where is the Stone?!
[08:37] ---
    It can't be...
[08:40] ---
    The purpose of this smokescreen
[08:43] ---
    was to let him know the direction of the wind?
[08:46] ---
    He's set something up downwind,
    where my sense of smell won't work.
[08:53] ---
    An attack from behind?!
[09:03] ---
    Impossible! How can he be
    mobile with those injuries...?
[09:13] ---
    Doctor Marcoh...!
[09:28] ---
    It was an ice cream truck, right?
[09:30] ---
    Yeah. Don't let it get past you.
[09:34] ---
    Alchemy really is handy, isn't it?
[09:37] ---
    Changing the outer appearance
    of the vehicle is no trouble at all.
[09:46] ---
    We can't get in here, either.
    North, south, east and west,
[09:49] ---
    the command center's gates are all closed.
[09:52] ---
    What do we do? Force our way in?
[09:55] ---
    No, leave the overt, heavy-handed
    stuff to the Briggs fellows.
[10:01] ---
    We'll take a more covert route.
[10:03] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:04] ---
    We'll split up here.
    You guys accompany the missus
[10:08] ---
    and head for you-know-where.
[10:10] ---
    Roger.
[10:28] ---
    It's a good thing I'm so beefy.
[10:33] ---
    That's the Philosopher's Stone
    for you, I guess you could say.
[10:41] ---
    The legs! Go for the legs!
[11:41] ---
    What?!
[11:45] ---
    Alex...
[11:47] ---
    Oh, it's just dislocated. You, Sister?
[11:52] ---
    Just some fractures.
[12:16] ---
    Sister!
[12:27] ---
    Kill you quick... then sleep.
[12:44] ---
    You stopped?
[12:51] ---
    He's reluctant to stab through Kimblee...
[12:55] ---
    But that's not like him.
[12:59] ---
    I see.
[13:02] ---
    The humanity you speak of
    is tenacious. However...
[13:06] ---
    ...you still cannot win.
[13:10] ---
    Not as long as our father is over there.
[13:19] ---
    But then, before we get to that,
[13:23] ---
    you must do something about
    the situation you're in now.
[13:40] ---
    Who's that?!
[13:45] ---
    I got you...
[13:48] ---
    I got you!
[13:51] ---
    Yoki?!
[13:53] ---
    All right, way to go, fuzzy-lip!
[13:56] ---
    I never expected you to show up!
[13:58] ---
    No way am I letting you guys
    be the only ones to play hero!
[14:01] ---
    Let me have a chance to show off, too, damn it!
[14:05] ---
    How about that?! I, Yoki,
[14:07] ---
    just landed a shot on the strongest Homunculus!
[14:09] ---
    I popped him good!
[14:12] ---
    Where did you get the car?
[14:15] ---
    It's the one Kimblee rode here in.
[14:17] ---
    The guys who were driving it
    are taking a little time out.
[14:21] ---
    Nice going, Dr. Marcoh.
[14:28] ---
    Move it! Move it!
[14:45] ---
    Shut up and drive! Floor it!
[14:48] ---
    I don't feel like fighting that monster head-on!
[14:52] ---
    Head for the Central city limits!
[14:54] ---
    We'll join up with Ed and
    clobber that "Father" guy,
[14:58] ---
    before that thing catches us!
[15:08] ---
    Those brave, stalwart humans
    sure are easy to dupe.
[15:22] ---
    Good. You're still alive.
[15:30] ---
    Your suit has taken on a
    nice color, hasn't it, Kimblee?
[15:35] ---
    They're called the "King
    of Beasts," and rightly so.
[15:38] ---
    He followed the law of survival of the fittest,
[15:41] ---
    and easily bit right through your windpipe.
[15:47] ---
    Sure enough, humans are beings
    of little consequence in this world.
[16:03] ---
    You were always saying how you wanted to see
[16:07] ---
    what the world would choose, huh?
[16:11] ---
    And so, for you to perish in a place such as this
[16:14] ---
    must be fairly humiliating.
[16:25] ---
    But not to worry...
[16:29] ---
    You will go on living, inside of me.
[16:52] ---
    What... just happened?
[17:00] ---
    Alex!
[17:06] ---
    I knew he was going to come
    charging in, all on his own,
[17:09] ---
    so all I had to do was wait for him.
[17:16] ---
    Sister, can you stand up?
[17:22] ---
    Come to think of it, there are
    orders out to shoot me.
[17:26] ---
    What?! We can't have that.
[17:29] ---
    I will be the one to inherit
    the Armstrong household,
[17:32] ---
    so I can't have you die until
    the paperwork is in place.
[17:35] ---
    You need not worry about that.
    If I die, the mansion goes to Mustang.
[17:40] ---
    You made that promise,
    without even consulting the family?
[17:44] ---
    He's still one smidgen more preferable
[17:45] ---
    than a good-for-nothing like you.
[17:48] ---
    Is that any attitude to take toward
    someone who came to save you?
[17:53] ---
    What is this?
[18:00] ---
    An enemy attack?
[18:01] ---
    It couldn't be Mustang's squad...
[18:41] ---
    W-What are they?!
[18:43] ---
    They won't die when we shoot them!
[18:45] ---
    Are they Briggs soldiers?!
[18:47] ---
    You idiots!
[18:49] ---
    Don't you compare my robust men
    to those puny tenderfoots!
[18:54] ---
    They're probably the same as this guy.
[18:57] ---
    The one who gave you your
    orders must have sent them out.
[19:02] ---
    We don't know anything about this!
[19:05] ---
    Apparently, they don't care
    whether or not you knew.
[19:17] ---
    What will it be? My brother and I
    can deal with these monsters.
[19:23] ---
    But...
[19:51] ---
    Well, what will it be?!
[19:53] ---
    Are you going to shoot us,
    then fall prey to these monsters?
[19:57] ---
    Or are you going to work with us,
    and shoot the monsters?
[20:01] ---
    Make up your own minds!
[20:08] ---
    Why, you...
[20:14] ---
    Ah! Not again!
[20:29] ---
    It's no use.
[20:30] ---
    These mannequin soldiers have been
    infused with Philosopher's Stones.
[20:34] ---
    You can't kill them that easily.
[20:41] ---
    See? That's what you get
    for running away from me.
[20:47] ---
    I've absorbed some more, and grown
    even stronger, now, haven't I?
[20:55] ---
    You don't get it! When those
    mannequins come in large numbers,
[21:00] ---
    that spells trouble, but running
    away from you alone is simple.
[21:04] ---
    Silence!
[21:11] ---
    These mannequins have been
    infused with Philosopher's Stones.
[21:14] ---
    That's why they don't die.
[21:16] ---
    Their immortality comes from
    the Philosopher's Stones, all right.
[21:21] ---
    To save my clan! Immortality will be mine!
[21:33] ---
    --It hurts...
    --It hurts...
[21:36] ---
    They're still coming?
[21:39] ---
    There's no end to them!
[21:47] ---
    I'm gonna run out of quills!
[21:49] ---
    My saliva is starting to go dry, too.
[21:58] ---
    Damn it!
[22:01] ---
    Oh, crap!
[22:04] ---
    Ed!
[22:14] ---
    Things are always rowdy wherever you are.
[22:21] ---
    Would it be okay if I lend
    you a hand... Fullmetal?

    When people arrive at the truth,
[24:02] ---
    they lay their hearts bare.
[24:06] ---
    They are unable to stop themselves,
[24:08] ---
    nor do they have the luxury of choice.
[24:13] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
    Fullmetal Alchemist,
[24:17] ---
    Episode 53: "Flame of Vengeance."
[24:22] ---
    Burn it up. All of it.
