**[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*
**[01:37] ---**
Huh? That's strange. I'm sure it was this way--
**[01:42] ---**
no, that way?
**[01:44] ---**
Are you lost, Fullmetal?
**[01:46] ---**
Los-- Shut up!
**[01:48] ---**
If I hadn't come back to make sure that
a certain nitwit wasn't goofing around,
**[01:51] ---**
this wouldn't be happening!
**[01:53] ---**
Nobody asked you to come back.
**[01:56] ---**
Get out of here!
**[01:57] ---**
If it weren't for me and Scar, you
definitely would have lost your way!
**[02:01] ---**
Don't you patronize me.
**[02:04] ---**
It was thanks to the lieutenant
**[02:05] ---**
that I was able to regain control back there.
**[02:07] ---**
What?!
**[02:08] ---**
Keep it down. The enemy will find us.
**[02:15] ---**
Scar... I want to offer my thanks now, while I can,
**[02:18] ---**
for persuading the colonel.
**[02:24] ---**
I know that it probably just upsets you Ishvalans
**[02:27] ---**
to have someone like me say thank you,
**[02:32] ---**
but you may have brought him back...
**[02:37] ---**
...to who he once was.
**[02:46] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:53] ---**
Your words of gratitude are not needed.
**[03:06] ---**
Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Copy that!
**[03:09] ---**
Hey, we can stop shooting! Cease fire!
**[03:17] ---**
Attention Central soldiers!
Attention Central soldiers!
**[03:21] ---**
Briggs forces have taken the Operations Center!
**[03:24] ---**
--Curse those rebels!
--We have 13 men in our custody,
including General Cremin. Repeat,
**[03:29] ---**
Briggs forces have taken the Operations Center!
**[03:33] ---**
All Central soldiers, cease hostilities immediately!
**[03:37] ---**
We have General Cremin in custody!
**[03:41] ---**
So the reason you were
blasting away with your tank
**[03:43] ---**
was to cover the sound of you
digging your hole with alchemy?!
**[03:48] ---**
That's right.
**[03:54] ---**
What was that? I didn't copy!
**[03:58] ---**
--What?! Are you sure?!
--What is it?
**[04:01] ---**
The Operations Center has fallen to Briggs forces!
**[04:04] ---**
They've apparently captured General Cremin!
**[04:08] ---**
Operations Center, is Buccaneer there?
**[04:11] ---**
Captain!
**[04:13] ---**
There are a large number of pale,
**[04:15] ---**
one-eyed, humanoid monsters on the loose!
**[04:17] ---**
Not only are they hard to kill,
they are man-eaters!
**[04:21] ---**
No matter what happens,
do not open any of the gates!
**[04:25] ---**
We cannot allow a single one
of those things out into the city!
**[04:29] ---**
Exterminate them within the
walls of the command center!
**[04:33] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[04:36] ---**
For the love of... What is Cremin doing?
**[04:40] ---**
From here on, I am in command.
**[04:43] ---**
As of right now, this is the Operations Center!
**[04:53] ---**
*The Fuhrer's chair...*
**[04:57] ---**
*If we get through this crisis, I will be...*
**[05:12] ---**
There are still more of them coming out?
**[05:19] ---**
G-General, what in the world are these things?
**[05:23] ---**
They're called the Immortal Legion.
**[05:25] ---**
They were created by placing
human souls inside mannequins.
**[05:29] ---**
Soldiers who have no fear of death.
**[05:32] ---**
Someday, you recruits will
probably end up as one of these.
**[05:46] ---**
He's still moving?!
**[05:48] ---**
How many times does he have to be killed?!
**[05:50] ---**
In that case, once more!
**[06:00] ---**
What tenacity.
**[06:04] ---**
No!
**[06:11] ---**
--Major!
--General Armstrong!
**[06:14] ---**
Keep back!
**[06:17] ---**
We are the ones he is after! Keep your distance!
**[06:29] ---**
Kill... the obstinate... woman general...
**[06:39] ---**
Pull!
**[06:50] ---**
Dig in!
**[06:56] ---**
Both of you, please run, now, while you can!
**[06:59] ---**
Wha...?
**[07:01] ---**
This way, sirs, quickly!
**[07:03] ---**
Come, Major!
**[07:06] ---**
You would have me run away?
**[07:11] ---**
You would have me flee from
the battlefield once again?!
**[07:15] ---**
There is no way that I could do such a thing!
**[07:47] ---**
You're determined not to run. Nice.
**[07:51] ---**
You're a fine man. But then,
my husband is a hundred times finer.
**[07:59] ---**
Who are you?
**[08:01] ---**
Hmm? A woman officer...
**[08:04] ---**
That must mean you're General Armstrong.
**[08:08] ---**
Your subordinate, the one with the
mohawk, asked me to come help you.
**[08:14] ---**
Who asked him?
**[08:17] ---**
What a bother...
**[08:31] ---**
Coming at you, dear!
**[08:33] ---**
Right!
**[08:47] ---**
Who is that gentleman?
**[08:49] ---**
My husband.
**[09:09] ---**
Valor a hundredfold! Muscle a thousandfold!
**[09:46] ---**
Ow...
**[09:58] ---**
He's *still* moving?!
**[10:10] ---**
I'm... dying...?
**[10:14] ---**
I'm dying...
**[10:16] ---**
What is dying...?
**[10:19] ---**
Too much bother... to think...
**[10:24] ---**
Too much bother... to live...
**[10:29] ---**
...too...
**[10:42] ---**
--Major!
--Major!
**[10:56] ---**
All that remain now are those scrawny small fry.
**[10:58] ---**
Give it all you've got to exterminate them!
**[11:00] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:07] ---**
Sorry, I need a little breather.
**[11:09] ---**
Yes, sir! Please, let us take it from here!
**[11:15] ---**
I don't know who you are,
but I'm grateful for the help.
**[11:19] ---**
My pleasure.
**[11:22] ---**
You must be a well-renowned martial artist.
**[11:25] ---**
Me? No, no, just a housewife, and an alchemist.
**[11:30] ---**
You know the Elric brothers, right?
We're as close as family.
**[11:35] ---**
Then you must be Izumi Curtis.
**[11:38] ---**
That's me.
**[11:39] ---**
Are the Elric brothers here, too?
**[11:41] ---**
Yes, they should be here.
**[11:51] ---**
Now then, shall we take care of
the remaining mannequin soldiers?
**[11:56] ---**
Can you stand, Sister?
**[11:58] ---**
Of course I can.
**[12:00] ---**
Hold on, now. Sit back down. With your injuries...
**[12:06] ---**
We adults can't very well be caught lying down
**[12:09] ---**
while the youngsters are fighting.
**[12:12] ---**
What if we adults, who carry
the burden of this world,
**[12:15] ---**
failed to show the youngsters,
**[12:18] ---**
who will carry the burden of this
world after us, the way to live?
**[12:25] ---**
Well then, why don't we give you a hand, as well?
**[12:27] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[12:29] ---**
The two of you together have
the strength of a hundred men.
**[12:33] ---**
Oh, no, don't expect too much.
**[12:36] ---**
Apparently, I'm what they call a "sacrifice."
**[12:40] ---**
After I've done a limited amount
of fighting, I'm flying the coop.
**[12:45] ---**
Before the really bad guy catches me.
**[13:02] ---**
This is an emotional reunion. Why so sullen?
**[13:08] ---**
You're no fun anymore.
**[13:13] ---**
Long ago, you were full of feeling, and interesting.
**[13:20] ---**
Lust, greed, sloth, gluttony, envy, wrath, pride...
**[13:29] ---**
They say that man has seven sins.
**[13:33] ---**
Sure, excessive appetites will ruin a person,
**[13:36] ---**
but at the same time, each of
those feelings are imperative
**[13:40] ---**
if one is to understand humanity.
**[13:44] ---**
Why did you sever yourself from them?
**[13:55] ---**
Sheesh, watch it!
**[14:08] ---**
Listen to me!
**[14:12] ---**
You're kidding!
**[14:20] ---**
Cut it out. I'm not very good at fighting.
**[14:46] ---**
Answer me! Why did you create the Homunculi,
**[14:49] ---**
keep them at your side,
and have them call you "Father"?!
**[14:55] ---**
When you were still in your flask,
**[14:58] ---**
you even put down the community of the family!
**[15:03] ---**
When actually, you wanted a family,
like humans have, didn't you?
**[15:29] ---**
*Where is he? He's not planning to stay withdrawn*
**[15:31] ---**
*until the nationwide transmutation
circle is activated, is he?*
**[15:41] ---**
I do not wish to become human.
**[15:45] ---**
I wish to become a perfect being.
**[15:51] ---**
I will have the Philosopher's
Stone that is inside you!
**[16:13] ---**
Your expression has finally changed, huh?
**[16:19] ---**
What did you do?
**[16:21] ---**
I just did what you wouldn't.
**[16:26] ---**
You probably don't understand.
**[16:28] ---**
You've cast aside something else
important, besides your feelings.
**[16:33] ---**
Something important?
**[16:36] ---**
Don't think you're going to
win so easily. Not against us!
**[16:47] ---**
It's no use. The tire is completely caught.
**[16:51] ---**
What are you doing, fuzzy-lip?!
**[16:53] ---**
If we don't hurry, the eclipse is going to start!
**[16:56] ---**
Shut up! Hurry and lift the car out!
**[16:59] ---**
Good grief...
**[17:05] ---**
Mr. Marcoh, please keep back.
Mr. Heinkel and I can handle this.
**[17:10] ---**
Yes, but...
**[17:12] ---**
We're fine. Let us take care of it.
**[17:15] ---**
Okay then, here we go.
**[17:17] ---**
One, two, three...!
**[17:31] ---**
Turn yourselves in at the
Operations Center! Move it!
**[17:34] ---**
R-Right!
**[17:35] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[17:39] ---**
You know, with these mannequin soldiers
**[17:42] ---**
taking out so many of the Central troops for us,
**[17:44] ---**
taking control is no sweat.
**[17:55] ---**
Let's keep on going and take the main gate!
**[17:58] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[18:10] ---**
We're not even going to get a chance.
**[18:15] ---**
Why, you... Why, you...! How come?!
**[18:20] ---**
I thought you were created to obey our orders!
**[18:24] ---**
Does this mean the good gentleman lied to us?!
**[18:29] ---**
S-Stay back!
**[18:32] ---**
I'm not one of the ones who
were supposed to die here!
**[18:51] ---**
I don't know who you are, but well done!
**[18:54] ---**
Join my security detail,
and I will give you special...
**[19:01] ---**
I wonder if you might tell me more
about this "good gentleman"?
**[19:18] ---**
This place is a mess.
**[19:26] ---**
Are you going to take command here?
**[19:31] ---**
I can't fathom why anyone would sit in a place
**[19:33] ---**
where they would be so easily shot at.
**[19:35] ---**
--Let's go.
--Y-Yes, sir!
**[19:39] ---**
Sister!
**[19:43] ---**
Where does this passageway go?
**[19:45] ---**
It appears to lead downward for quite a ways.
**[19:51] ---**
Is that the opening from which
the mannequin soldiers came?
**[19:54] ---**
If it is, it might link up underground.
**[19:57] ---**
Yes.. Yes... Acknowledged.
**[20:01] ---**
Sir, Buccaneer Squad has
taken control of the main gate!
**[20:05] ---**
There was little resistance,
and our casualties are few.
**[20:08] ---**
We also control the main entrance!
**[20:10] ---**
They've secured tanks,
and are taking up positions!
**[20:15] ---**
Buccaneer Squad, maintain your current status.
**[20:18] ---**
Please be absolutely sure not to open the gates
**[20:21] ---**
until every last mannequin soldier
on the grounds has been expelled.
**[20:24] ---**
Copy that.
**[20:26] ---**
This is the west gate. Briggs'
White Squad has taken control!
**[20:30] ---**
North Gate. Black Squad now has control!
**[20:33] ---**
Blue Squad controls the east gate!
**[20:35] ---**
Yellow Squad has secured the weapons depot.
**[20:38] ---**
You heard them, General Armstrong!
**[20:42] ---**
Briggs forces now control 9/10ths
of the Central Command Center.
**[20:47] ---**
We are victorious!
**[20:54] ---**
We won!
**[21:07] ---**
The colonel didn't get here in time.
**[21:22] ---**
Gentlemen, I'm back.
**[21:27] ---**
Things have been quite astir
while I've been away, haven't they?
**[21:33] ---**
As of now, I am personally taking
command, and will oust these rebels.
**[21:39] ---**
All available Central forces, give me a hand.
**[21:44] ---**
King Bradley!
**[21:47] ---**
He's alive?!
**[21:50] ---**
Where is he?! Where is he attacking from?!
**[22:05] ---**
All salute His Excellency, the Fuhrer!
**[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] ---**
*What is wrought by the king's blade*
**[24:01] ---**
*is destruction and slaughter,
violation and despair.*
**[24:05] ---**
*With overwhelming power, he lays
waste to all who stand in his way.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
Fullmetal Alchemist,*
**[24:16] ---**
*Episode 56: "The Return of the Fuhrer."*
**[24:22] ---**
*The place where I come home to is the battlefield.*
