What?
Something is wrong...
...with my body.
Damn you!
Did you forget that I specialize in making bombs?
You should find somebody who can reverse it...
Don't worry, you still have plenty of time.
I transmuted it into a material that absorbs oxygen very slowly.
So you can enjoy the precious time you have left... before you explode.
No... my body...
This can't...
be happening...
Don't move, Alphonse Elric.
I don't know what's happening to your body,
but if I make a mistake...
You shouldn't touch him, scarred one.
You're that Homunculus...
A Homunculus?
Your arm is only capable of destruction.
Edward may be able to transmute it into a different material
to prevent the explosion.
Transmute it into a different material?
Let's go.
Your goal is to make the Philosopher's Stone.
I knew you weren't her!
She would never say such a thing.
Without Knowing His Name
Shut up... stop it...
Make it shut up!
Ge...
Get... up... and... run...
Move... forward...!
Shut up!
Ed!
Rose, stay away!
Let go! Let go!
Dammit!
I won't let you use any more alchemy with that right arm!
Shut up!
Stop it, Edward.
Now, come here.
Ed!
Don't do it!
I've actually been thinking about it for quite some time.
How much you resemble her...
But I was trying to avoid thinking about it.
I was trying not to think...
That we made you...
on that day.
Ed!
So that makes you
our responsibility!
You're a Homunculus...
So you made your way into the military?
What exactly are you after?
Don't you touch her!
Let's go, Rose.
That's not the last we'll see of them.
The Homunculus have more than one life.
You haven't finished them off with just that.
That's great, Rose!
Your voice came back.
Huh?
You're right...
You're right!
Your voice and that baby's voice really saved me back there...
I can't contact Kimbley!
Or your chimeras!
They are operating under special orders from the President...
They've had more than enough time to find that Fullmetal brat's body!
Either he and Scar have killed each other...
or he's just too caught up in the destruction.
I cannot wait!
Is this your command center, Archer?
Mustang, you scoundrel!
Don't move!
Hello...
What is that thing?
That's horrible.
Lieutenant!
Calm down.
He must be--
Yes.
He is Shou Tucker. The Sewing Life Alchemist.
So it was you.
You cannot follow me?
I don't recall ever following you.
I only led you to believe so, in order to bring to light the wrong doings of the military.
Every army hides wrong doings and evil.
Tucker!
What do you gain from doing something so absurd?
Just as you were recognized in Ishbal,
I will become a hero today.
Hey, hey!
They'll die. They'll die.
They'll all die!
I suppose mere humans like them
could never grasp our master's profound logic.
No matter. It's up to them to kill Scar.
Or else they are destined to be the components of the Philosopher's Stone.
Can they really make the Philosopher's Stone?
It will never come into the hands of man,
meaning it does not exist.
I'm afraid I can't remember anything.
I didn't expect you to, anyway.
You are not the person that my brother so desperately attempted to resurrect.
You just look like her.
I will be her, once the Philosopher's Stone turns me into a human being.
You're wrong!
How so?
The dead do not come back to life.
What are you trying to do?!
Stop it!
Stay away!
Just shut up and watch.
What have you done?
This arm is something I inherited from my brother.
My brother turned himself into a transmutation circle
and sealed the lives of the Ishbalites within his body.
In order to transmute the Philosopher's Stone inside himself...
That task was passed onto you...
So...?!
Stay away from him.
Either way, there's nothing you can do about it but sit back and watch.
Are you insane?
Are you trying to turn this boy into the Philosopher's Stone?
I don't have much time.
If I don't change his entire body into another material, he will explode.
So you're turning him into the Philosopher's Stone?!
Are you going to let them have the Philosopher's Stone?!
I don't know whether it will succeed.
If it does, then it is theirs. They can do what they want with it.
That's not too convenient for me.
I want you to make the true Philosopher's Stone.
Don't do something ridiculous like turning that boy's entire body into the Stone.
Will your wishes come true by killing me here?
Fine then.
If the real thing is created, I will just use it right there.
I don't care what happens to that brat.
Brother... help... what can I do?
Just keep going and get as far away as you can.
Right now?
Do what you can.
I'm going to go capture Scar. The military is after him.
Are you going to hand Scar over to the military?
That's the only condition that the military would accept, if they are to forgive the people of Lior.
No Ed... that's just--
You must know by now.
Equivalent trade...
Well, maybe I can pull something off.
I don't know, but if I tell the Colonel about the President's secretary...
Ahh geez, maybe I can somehow make a deal and--
But just don't count on me.
Just run.
Get as far away as you can, before the military realizes anything.
Yes, that was the original plan.
We will slowly disperse, and hide in the cities.
I'm counting on you, Lyra.
Rose.
I'll be seeing you, Ed.
Yeah.
No...
This is good-bye, Rose.
There's not a person to be seen in town, sir!
Perhaps they are attempting to ambush us.
There's somebody over there!
Colonel.
That's... the State Alchemist we sent in!
It's Scar! There he is!
Scar has killed the State Alchemist we sent in to negotiate!
Armored units, fortify the perimeter!
Infantry, we will capture Scar. Forward!
The military wasn't supposed to move yet.
Then it must be the will of God.
There he is!
You fool.
I can't die that easily.
I knew, but...
my body moved on its own.
You... loved me?
Not you.
I despised my brother.
He defied the teachings of Ishbal, learned alchemy,
and even though I knew that he gave me that arm to let me live...
I could only despise him.
The Elric brothers live for the sake of the other.
Yes.
The elder for the younger,
the younger for the elder; they love each other.
I wanted to tell my brother, too.
That I loved him.
Is that why you're going to do to Alphonse what your brother did to you?
Now, go.
An accursed thing is about to happen.
What is your real name?
Our names are given to us by God.
However, because I have turned against God, I no longer have a name.
There he is!
After him!
Good-bye, Scar.
Don't!
Don't do it!
So you were alive.
The civilians in Lior will surrender.
Scar is the only one being hostile.
Surrender? I cannot believe that.
He killed the Crimson Alchemist.
Is that your "legitimate reason"?
The war has already begun.
You can just go to Hell!
But because of your selfish ambitions,
those soldiers who don't know any better--
We've spotted Scar! Currently engaging him!
Good.
Stop it.
Hey, wait!
Stop it!
Brother...
One who inflicts pain cannot sleep.
But there is no need to worry about that.
For I will no longer seek sleep...
Brother...
What is that?
Colonel!
You idiots!
Are you guys all right?
Barely, but yes.
Has Colonel Archer moved his forces?
Y-Yes.
But something is strange.
The city of Lior is shining bright red.
And we've lost contact with our forces.
What was that? What happened?
Hey?
Round up the survivors.
Scar!
Al?
Brother?
No, get away! I'm gonna blow up!
Huh?
Al, what are you doing here?
Huh?
I'm back to normal.
Hey, it's back to normal! My body is back to normal!
Huh? What are you talking about?
Oh yeah, Kimbley turned me into a bomb.
Then, Scar said that if he transmuted my body into something else,
then I'd be okay,
and then--
Al, open up your chest.
Just do it!
What in the world...?
Al, the transmutation circle in the city went active earlier.
Scar transmuted the Philosopher's Stone.
Not within himself, but...
You've hit the nail on the head, boy.
Little boy, you were transmuted into the Philosopher's Stone.
Me? The Philosopher's Stone?
What's going on?!
Why did he do such a thing?!
Go.
Soon, everything will follow the two of you.
Weren't you after the Philosopher's Stone as well?
Brother... I'm the...?
Al...
Full Metal Alchemist.
Episode 43:
The Stray Dog Has Ran Away.
We're sorry, Colonel.
But... we're going home.
