[00:00] ---
    The days going by are getting in the way
[00:07] ---
    of the new morning I'd found at last
[00:11] ---
    It wasn't "next" that I was headed toward,
[00:16] ---
    but "bygone" that I was always chasing after
[00:22] ---
    My incessant, merciless memories
[00:26] ---
    don't seem likely to forgive me
[00:32] ---
    It may not be long before my turmoil spills out
[00:36] ---
    down cheeks wearied by my fumbling about
[00:41] ---
    Will the rain ever stop?
[00:46] ---
    I've been cold for such a long time
[00:51] ---
    Why does the rain choose me?
[00:57] ---
    Can I wrap myself up in it?
[01:01] ---
    The rain is unrelenting,
[01:06] ---
    and it's still coming down today,
[01:12] ---
    but tenderly, under an extended umbrella,
[01:17] ---
    we share our warmth as we huddle close
[01:30] ---
    --What in the world is going on?
    --What is happening?
[01:32] ---
    --I don't know.
    --Rumor has it that Colonel
    Mustang is up to something.
[01:35] ---
    --Are you sure?
    --It's just what I heard.
[01:38] ---
    Hey, the radio! Turn on the radio!
[01:41] ---
    To Radio Capital!
[01:43] ---
    Radio Capital?
[01:45] ---
    Yeah. Something amazing is going on.
[01:48] ---
    That station is so boring.
[01:50] ---
    Just do it! Hurry, before the
    military shuts down their broadcast!
[01:58] ---
    ...is that what you are saying, Mrs. Bradley?
[02:01] ---
    Mrs. Bradley?
[02:04] ---
    Yes, the Central forces attempted to kill me.
[02:13] ---
    You mean, they pointed guns at your head,
[02:16] ---
    and demonstrated intent to shoot you?
[02:18] ---
    That is right.
[02:20] ---
    They said, "You're free to shoot her,
[02:21] ---
    along with Colonel Mustang's men."
[02:26] ---
    Fuhrer Bradley has gone east,
    to conduct an inspection,
[02:29] ---
    and is not currently in Central.
[02:32] ---
    Yes.
[02:33] ---
    So then, somebody centrally located was waiting
[02:36] ---
    for His Excellency to leave so
    they could stage a coup d'état?
[02:39] ---
    That I do not know.
[02:41] ---
    Is that really Mrs. Bradley?
[02:43] ---
    --I've heard her voice before. It's really her.
    --Be that as it may, Mrs. Bradley,
    under the circumstances,
[02:48] ---
    it's a good thing your son is
    somewhere other than Central.
[02:50] ---
    I have not been able to contact my son.
[02:52] ---
    You haven't?! That's just...
[02:54] ---
    You're kidding!
[02:56] ---
    Poor thing.
[02:58] ---
    I wonder if little Selim is all right.
[03:00] ---
    --Please try to keep your
    composure, Mrs. Bradley.
    --A coup d'état?
[03:03] ---
    --Thank goodness that you, at least, are safe.
    --Can anyone besides Bradley run this country?
[03:07] ---
    Truly, if Colonel Mustang had not saved me,
[03:11] ---
    I don't know what would have become of me.
[03:14] ---
    I see, so Colonel Mustang
    saw this coup d'état coming?
[03:17] ---
    Mustang, huh?
[03:20] ---
    So then, could you please tell us...
[03:23] ---
    ...the exact circumstances of your rescue?
[03:25] ---
    Yes.
[03:27] ---
    You haven't told her...
[03:29] ---
    --When the guns were pointed at me,
    --...that Selim is a Homunculus yet?
[03:32] ---
    --I closed my eyes, and prayed to God.
    --We couldn't tell her. She doesn't even
[03:34] ---
    --When I heard the gunshots,
    I thought it was all over for me.
    --know that the Fuhrer is missing.
[03:39] ---
    But then...
[03:41] ---
    The madam hasn't been told this yet,
[03:44] ---
    but the truth is, yesterday,
[03:46] ---
    the train that the Fuhrer was aboard in the east
[03:48] ---
    was blown up by someone.
[03:51] ---
    His Excellency is now missing.
[03:59] ---
    Mrs. Bradley!
[04:02] ---
    Are you all right?!
[04:03] ---
    M-Mrs. Bradley does not appear
    to be feeling well right now,
[04:07] ---
    being overwhelmed by all that is happening.
[04:10] ---
    Still, what do you mean
    His Excellency, the Fuhrer, is missing?
[04:18] ---
    Colonel Mustang has harbored
    suspicions about the senior staff
[04:20] ---
    since before all this,
[04:22] ---
    and suspected they would do something.
[04:26] ---
    Now, with the bombing of the Fuhrer's train,
[04:28] ---
    and permission being given
    to fire on Mrs. Bradley,
[04:32] ---
    matters have become clear.
[04:35] ---
    There is a faction among the senior staff
[04:37] ---
    that is attempting to eliminate His Excellency!
[04:40] ---
    You fool!
[04:41] ---
    Shut down that broadcast immediately!
[04:44] ---
    You know what will happen if you don't do so!
[04:47] ---
    It doesn't matter what you say, I can't.
[04:50] ---
    They have taken hostages,
    and they're pointing guns at us, too.
[04:55] ---
    We can't move a muscle here.
[04:57] ---
    There are so many perpetrators here,
    we can't do anything.
[05:02] ---
    Give me Mustang! I will speak to him directly!
[05:06] ---
    Eh? The colonel?
[05:17] ---
    Don't shoot me!
[05:20] ---
    Forgive me, I beg you!
[05:33] ---
    So, how was I?
[05:35] ---
    Perfect.
[05:36] ---
    All right, don't stop broadcasting!
[05:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:40] ---
    I'm not about to let this story get away from us!
[05:43] ---
    Now, continuing on,
[05:45] ---
    here is a message from one
    of Colonel Mustang's men,
[05:47] ---
    --who helped to rescue Mrs. Bradley.
    --So Colonel Mustang isn't staging a coup d'état?
[05:52] ---
    Those of us who support Colonel
    Mustang may not be all that powerful...
[05:56] ---
    --That voice...
    --...but we will carry on His Excellency,
[05:58] ---
    the Fuhrer's will, and we are
    prepared to use all our strength
[06:01] ---
    to put down those cowardly men,
    in the name of justice!
[06:07] ---
    Thank you very much.
    Now then, I would like to sum up
[06:10] ---
    --all the events that have transpired up to now...
    --Oh, Mustang. You're taking
    advantage of Bradley being gone,
[06:14] ---
    and using the Fuhrer's influence
    any way that you like, huh?
[06:18] ---
    And in the name of justice, at that.
[06:21] ---
    I sure do hope the people will buy it.
[06:26] ---
    You sure sounded like a pro.
[06:29] ---
    And way to work in an ambiguous,
    frivolous little word like "justice."
[06:32] ---
    It's all right. Everyone loves justice, after all.
[06:36] ---
    Yeah. Whoever invokes it first comes out on top.
[06:41] ---
    What exactly is going on?
[06:43] ---
    Apparently, this isn't the doing
    of Mustang and company.
[06:46] ---
    Are you sure?
[06:48] ---
    Roy Mustang is telling the truth.
[06:52] ---
    We just got here from the east,
[06:54] ---
    and there's a big fuss back there
    about the Fuhrer's train being bombed.
[06:59] ---
    You folks in Central don't know about that yet?
[07:03] ---
    The nation's top man is missing,
[07:06] ---
    so why don't its citizens
    know anything about it?!
[07:09] ---
    Then, it really is a coup d'état?
[07:11] ---
    Who's behind this?!
[07:12] ---
    If Radio Capital gets raided,
    and Mrs. Bradley were to die,
[07:15] ---
    then there's no doubt,
    the senior staff are behind this.
[07:17] ---
    Selim! What about Selim?!
[07:19] ---
    I'm sure he's been taken prisoner.
[07:21] ---
    I sure hope he hasn't been killed.
[07:29] ---
    What is the garrison doing?!
[07:31] ---
    Sir, the enemy apparently possess
    far more weapons than expected,
[07:35] ---
    and are putting up a hard fight.
[07:38] ---
    Weapons? There's only a limited
    amount they can carry, right?
[07:42] ---
    Transmission from the garrison!
[07:45] ---
    Go ahead, sir.
[07:47] ---
    You're late checking in!
    What's happening there? Over!
[07:51] ---
    T-The Briggs guys even have one of those--
[07:55] ---
    H-Hey!
[07:59] ---
    I-Is everything all right?
[08:02] ---
    This gate isn't going to fall to them, right?
[08:05] ---
    Of course not!
[08:07] ---
    Sheesh, ridiculous!
[08:10] ---
    As long as they don't bring in
    a tank or something, we're...
[08:15] ---
    What?!
[08:20] ---
    Would it be okay if I lend
    you a hand... Fullmetal?
[08:23] ---
    Colonel...
[08:27] ---
    It would appear that you
    have some more new friends.
[08:32] ---
    Scar...?
[08:36] ---
    You know, this place takes me back, Lieutenant.
[08:39] ---
    I remember seeing your tearful face here.
[08:42] ---
    I'd like to see those frank,
    honest tears again sometime.
[08:46] ---
    I thought you hated moisture.
    It renders you useless.
[08:53] ---
    Save the chit-chat for later! Fight!
[08:56] ---
    Don't you order me around.
[08:57] ---
    Acknowledged. We just need to
    beat these white guys, right?
[09:02] ---
    That won't work, Lieutenant!
[09:03] ---
    You can't beat these guys using bullets!
[09:06] ---
    Not again! It's all we've been dealing with!
[09:10] ---
    Are they Homunculi?
[09:13] ---
    No, they aren't self-repairing.
[09:16] ---
    But they won't die, either. Is it the
    power of the Philosopher's Stone?
[09:59] ---
    They are the enemy, Fullmetal.
[10:11] ---
    Why, you...! Stop scampering around!
[10:14] ---
    It would seem that he doesn't
    want me to go this way.

[10:17] ---
    The presence is stronger that way, too. I knew it!
[10:49] ---
    May?!
[10:54] ---
    Envy!
[10:56] ---
    You guys...
[11:01] ---
    Fool! Why didn't you go
    back to your home country?!
[11:06] ---
    But... I mean... I mean...
[11:09] ---
    Never mind! Don't cry!
[11:11] ---
    I'm sorry, Mr. Scar!
[11:14] ---
    Geez, this is why you humans turn my stomach.
[11:23] ---
    I have to admit, though,
    you've really done a number here.
[11:29] ---
    The Fullmetal Alchemist, the Flame
    Alchemist, not to mention Scar.
[11:34] ---
    And the filthy Chimeras who I owe
    for up north are here, with you.
[11:38] ---
    Now then, which one of you will I deal with first?
[11:42] ---
    You're Envy, are you?
[11:45] ---
    The Homunculus who can
    change his shape, as I recall.
[11:48] ---
    Eh, so you know. Pleased to
    meet you, Colonel Mustang.
[11:54] ---
    Huh?
[11:55] ---
    Are you sure about this, Scar?
    This is one of the State Alchemists
[11:59] ---
    that turned Ishval into such a hellhole.
[12:02] ---
    You're right.
[12:05] ---
    Huh? You're acting chummy?! You're no fun.
[12:09] ---
    Let me see you guys act more rumbly-grumbly.
[12:13] ---
    It's so much more fun when you
    maggots are shouting at each other.
[12:20] ---
    We don't have time to
    entertain your boorish interests.
[12:23] ---
    Boorish?! Then let me ask you this:
[12:27] ---
    You humans love watching others' misfortune,
[12:30] ---
    and watching fools run
    around in circles, don't you?
[12:34] ---
    Isn't that why you're always
    at war with each other?
[12:38] ---
    Hmm, indeed,
[12:40] ---
    it is delightful to watch fools
    get worked up into a frenzy.
[12:45] ---
    And watching fools who are Homunculi
[12:48] ---
    go into a frenzy is especially enjoyable.
[12:53] ---
    I have answered your question.
[12:56] ---
    Now, why don't you answer mine?
[13:01] ---
    Who was it that killed Maes Hughes?
[13:05] ---
    Answer me, Homunculus.
[13:13] ---
    It was Maria Ross. The one you burned to death.
[13:16] ---
    No.
[13:18] ---
    It wasn't her.
[13:20] ---
    Huh?
[13:21] ---
    Then you burned an innocent girl alive!
[13:25] ---
    Nice work! You're awful!
    So, how did you break it to her family?
[13:31] ---
    Did you cry when you apologized?
[13:33] ---
    Or did you keep quiet because you were
    too afraid of them getting mad at you?
[13:36] ---
    Would you quit working your mouth, you idiot?
[13:41] ---
    I have become sick and tired of
    asking you Homunculi this question.
[13:47] ---
    Now tell me the truth, right now, you idiot!
[13:53] ---
    Who was it that killed Hughes?
[14:10] ---
    Congratulations, Colonel Mustang,
[14:14] ---
    you've finally arrived at your answer.
[14:23] ---
    I doubt a moron like you
    would be able to take Hughes.
[14:28] ---
    Moron?
[14:31] ---
    A moron...
[14:33] ---
    ...is what you call someone...
[14:38] ---
    ...like Hughes, for falling for a trick like this!
[14:46] ---
    Your face has gone pale!
[14:48] ---
    I like that expression!
[14:50] ---
    The look on Hughes' face when
    I killed him was terrific, too!
[14:54] ---
    The look on his face!
[14:57] ---
    The despair of being shot dead by
    someone with his beloved wife's face!
[15:01] ---
    Ah, it was terrific!
[15:06] ---
    That settles it.
[15:10] ---
    You're the one who killed Hughes.
    All I needed to know was that fact.
[15:16] ---
    You don't have to say anything else, Envy.
[15:20] ---
    I'll start by burning out the base of your tongue!
[15:41] ---
    Scar, Fullmetal, let me take this one.
[15:47] ---
    He is my quarry.
[15:52] ---
    A-All right. Then, we'll leave
    this to you, and go on ahead.
[15:57] ---
    Who says you're allowed to go?
[16:00] ---
    I have to pay you back in full
    for what you did up north--
[16:07] ---
    Are you sure you can afford to talk
    to anyone else while facing me?
[16:12] ---
    I would say that nimble tongue of
    yours has gotten nice and greasy.
[16:18] ---
    It burns so well, doesn't it, Envy?
[16:21] ---
    Lieutenant, are you sure
    just the two of you will be...
[16:23] ---
    Go on, Edward.
[16:26] ---
    We can manage.
[16:27] ---
    --But...
    --Go, Edward Elric!
[16:32] ---
    You have something else you have to do.
[16:36] ---
    Come on, let's go, Ed.
[16:38] ---
    Hold on...!
[16:45] ---
    Damn it!
[16:47] ---
    The colonel will be fine.
[16:50] ---
    That Homunculus will be a pushover for him.
[16:54] ---
    That's not what I'm worried about.
[16:57] ---
    Huh? What do you mean?
[17:02] ---
    Yes... you've been pursuing the one
    who killed Hughes for a long time.
[17:07] ---
    Such beautiful friendship.
[17:17] ---
    Stay back, Lieutenant.
[17:29] ---
    In deference to your beautiful
    friendship, I will fight you all-out.
[17:34] ---
    I can't really pull my punches in this body,
[17:38] ---
    so it's not my fault what might hap--
[17:44] ---
    How does it feel, having the
    fluid inside your eyeballs boil?
[17:48] ---
    I'll bet it hurts beyond imagination.
[17:50] ---
    Damn you...
[17:56] ---
    I'm surprised you'd intentionally
    make my target bigger for me.
[17:59] ---
    Did you think being bigger
    would let you beat me? Idiot!
[18:03] ---
    Get up, monster! Hurry and regenerate yourself.
[18:06] ---
    I'm going to let you relive that
    pain over and over until you die.
[18:09] ---
    Yeah, that's right. He's the man
    who burned Lust to death.

[18:21] ---
    --Hold it!
    --Colonel!
[18:23] ---
    Lieutenant, you wait here!
[18:25] ---
    I'm going to take care of him myself!
[18:36] ---
    This way. It's probably this way.
[18:38] ---
    Ugh, creepy.
[18:40] ---
    These things are like veins.
[18:42] ---
    It almost feels like I've been having
    heartburn for this past while.
[18:47] ---
    I'll bet you are.
[18:49] ---
    There's a powerful mass of chi deeper in.
[18:53] ---
    Mass of chi?
[18:55] ---
    If I said it feels like an incredible
    number of people writhing,
[18:58] ---
    would that make sense to you?
[19:00] ---
    I don't know what it is, but I
    do know that it feels creepy.
[19:08] ---
    I sure wouldn't want to run into the enemy here.
[19:14] ---
    Scar, do you have a minute?
[19:17] ---
    Is this about the Flame Alchemist?
[19:23] ---
    Having once lost myself,
[19:26] ---
    burning in the flames of revenge,
    I understand all too well.
[19:30] ---
    The way he's headed,
[19:32] ---
    he's going to burn his own
    heart up in the flames of hatred.
[19:53] ---
    Where are you, Envy?!
[19:56] ---
    Damn!
[19:58] ---
    If you don't come out, I'm gonna hit
    you with an even bigger explosion!
[20:04] ---
    Yo, Roy...
[20:07] ---
    You're only human! You'll get mixed up!
[20:14] ---
    You'd burn up your best friend
    without any hesitation?!
[20:19] ---
    Hughes is dead. He's gone.
[20:23] ---
    Your actions have only
    poured more fuel on the fire.
[20:30] ---
    Damn it! Don't get so carried away!
[20:37] ---
    Not again! My eyes! My eyes!
[20:42] ---
    You fool. Did you think I wouldn't use
    heavy firepower right next to me?
[20:47] ---
    Unfortunately for you, I can do pinpoint aiming.
[20:50] ---
    Don't you sell my technique short!
[20:59] ---
    Colonel, I'm disobeying your order!
[21:14] ---
    He got away again, huh?
[21:53] ---
    You've disobeyed orders, Lieutenant.
[21:55] ---
    I'm sorry, but I couldn't just sit there and wait.
[22:00] ---
    Where's Envy?
[22:02] ---
    I lost sight of him. It's almost like a maze in here.
[22:06] ---
    Do not leave my side, Lieutenant.
[22:09] ---
    Now that you're here,
    you're going to help me out.
[22:38] ---
    Ever since that day,
[22:41] ---
    I had made up my mind not to cry
[22:46] ---
    Though the pain kept coming,
[22:51] ---
    there was something I couldn't forgive
[22:57] ---
    There's no going back after all these days
[23:02] ---
    There's still nothing I can do
[23:07] ---
    I'm losing yet another fragment
[23:12] ---
    of my memories of you
[23:19] ---
    I want to be stronger than I am today
[23:24] ---
    so that my voice may someday reach you
[23:29] ---
    I'll keep walking, and when the wind lets up,
[23:34] ---
    I'll gaze up into the sky, searching for you
[23:40] ---
    The light will shine after the day breaks
[23:47] ---
    and there will be a rainbow
[23:58] ---
    In the long time that passes
    from the moment of birth,

[24:02] ---
    a person becomes a person.
[24:04] ---
    In time, what accumulates
    becomes a complete, robust self.

[24:11] ---
    However...
[24:13] ---
    Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
