Al!
Sensei!
Al!
Brother!
That right arm of yours is a nuisance.
I'm going to pull off all that useless stuff—
those ugly mechanical parts!
What did you call them?!
And then I'm going to take everything that is left over.
Why, you!
Why, you...
Al!
Al, no!
Al...
Brother,
you said that homunculi can't use alchemy, right?
But this guy is different.
I've figured out what his secret is.
When his right arm and left leg form a circle,
he can transmute the outside of his body into other materials.
He can change his body because he's a homunculus.
But he can use alchemy because...
Because he has Ed's limbs in those places?
My...?
Give them back! Those belong to Brother!
They are Brother's arm and leg!
Give them back!
Why, you!
Al!
Fine by me!
Brother!
Al! Please, stop already!
What are you talking about? He's a homunculus. He's not human.
But still, that boy is Izumi-san's—
Maybe so...
You want my arm, do you?
It's my arm!
You gained something for the price of this leg, didn't you?
You paid for your brother with this arm.
In that case, what are you going to pay to deprive me of my arm and leg?
An equivalent exchange.
Stop jerking me around!
Ed!
Man cannot obtain anything without first sacrificing something.
In order to obtain anything, something of equal value is required.
That is alchemy's Law of Equivalent Exchange.
At the time, we believed that to be the true way of the world.
Far away, far away, our dreams will never fade
tooku tooku omoi hatenaku
If only the two of us could go back to
futari ga mujaki ni waratteta
the days when we laughed so innocently
ano koro ni modoreru nara
the days when we laughed so innocently
ano koro ni modoreru nara
Just like glassware
konagona ni kudaketa
that has been smashed to pieces,
glass-zaiku no you na
we're putting together the fragments of our memories
omoide no kakera o atsumeteru
It's the important things that you notice
daiji na mono wa itsudatte
It's the important things that you notice
daiji na mono wa itsudatte
once you've lost them
nakushite kara kizuku yo
Oh, please, oh, please, stop time for me,
douka douka jikan o tomete
and engrave the way you look right now into my heart
kimi no omokage o kono mune ni kizandekure
And if, and if, I were ever allowed to,
moshimo moshimo yurusareru nara
I would be willing to sacrifice everything
subete o gisei ni shitemo ii
just to see that smiling face one more time
ano egao o mou ichido

Sensei...
Ed! Al!
I forbid you to get involved!
That boy is my sin,
and I will...
Sensei!
Hold it!
Winry! Take care of Sensei!
Just a minute! Ed! Al!
Fullmetal Alchemist, I understand this is the island where you did your training.
Brother, that woman...
Führer, what are you doing here?
It appears we are looking for the same thing as you are.
A homunculus?
I hear that's what the enemy calls itself.
However,
do you guys know how a homunculus is born?
According to tradition, it's said that a homunculus is the grown-up form
of the botched product that is born when someone attempts a human transmutation.
It was written in your father's research as well.
I couldn't care less about the guy.
That's fine.
But if the boy whom Lt. Col. Archer found really is a homunculus,
that would mean that someone had attempted a human transmutation.
Human transmutation is impermissible, no matter what the circumstances are.
Do you have any idea who this person might be?
Never mind that, we should be after the escaped homunculus.
Our men are already pursuing him.
I'm sorry, but I don't know. We're in a hurry here, so if you don't mind...
Brother...
We can't tell them about Sensei, you know.
Maybe so, but...
Well? How does it feel, holding him?
It's not bad.
Wrath... That makes all seven of us.
After all this time, how about we go to that woman's place?
Luckily, it's close by, and we do need to tell her about Greed.
Why Greed?
Because long ago, she's the one who created Greed.
Why?!
Why did you show that to my brother?!
The man understood everything I told him.
What I handed down to him were the ancient memories of the Ishbalan people.
And as a result, my brother...!
You must not forget.
Inside here, they are still alive.
Countless lives...
He's here!
Here he is!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we left our established residences.
As their leader, I will bear full responsibility.
You do know that new residences have been established here in the south, right?
You will all be taken there.
Make sure that you tell them not to offer any resistance.
Right.
However, before that happens, we will be checking everyone's names and faces.
Every last one of you.
Is there someone you're looking for?
Begin.
Please, be careful. I'm sure I saw that homicidal maniac from Central.
I saw his wanted poster at the home of someone I was taking care of earlier.
Let's hope you didn't mistake him for someone else.
Mama!
All right, you all!
Hey, where is he?! The man with the X-shaped scar!
It won't do you any good to hide him!
What's going on here?!
J-Just you try doing anything against me! The military won't stand for—
A-A gunshot?!
I didn't hear any gunfire!
Stop! Don't shoot!
Stop firing, you stupid bastards!
Everyone, calm down!
Who was it that acted against this man?
Is the massacre going to repeat itself?!
We've already had too much of this!
Right! How can we keep silent any longer?!
I'm sick of being under the military's thumb!
Our people have been killed!
Go back to where you came from, now!
Yeah! Get out of here!
Yow!
I'm going to suppress them. Cover me.
Colonel?
What are you waiting for? I told you to cover me!
And wipe your forehead, would you?
Yes, sir!
Good grief. What a pathetic story, both for master and pupil.
Ed, Al...
Still, I must draw the line somewhere.
You are expelled.
I did not teach you alchemy so that your bodies would end up like this.
I don't want to see any more of your disgraceful fighting, either.
Sensei...
Thank you... for taking care of us.
Please, take care.
Are you two sure you just want to go back home like this?
Okay, then...
Yeah. Come by again if you're ever around.
But...
She expelled us, and all, right?
Foolish bastards!
Now that you are neither master nor pupil,
it means you can start dealing with each other as equal individuals.
That's right! Now, you don't have to feel so constrained by her, do you?
Dammit. Al, we're going back!
Huh? Mm-hmm!
Don't go getting killed.
Sensei! We came here to get some kind of lead as to how to get our original bodies back!
We're not leaving empty-handed!
Leave!
We're not leaving.
We want to know the whereabouts of a true Philosopher's Stone,
not the one made by sacrificing human lives.
Leave.
We're not leaving!
I'll cut you up!
Cut us if you will...
...but we're not leaving!
I'm sure that returning that boy over to the other side is...
That is my sin.
I cannot teach you how to do it.
We will take the sin upon ourselves as well!
You morons...
You have someone watching the brothers, right?
Yes, sir.
Don't be caught off guard. If anything happens, let me know immediately.
Yes, sir.
The Elric brothers again?
What choice do we have?
We received a response from Central that the Führer did in fact drop by down south here
and conducted his own personal investigation into the homunculus.
Which is exactly the opposite of what they said yesterday.
And with investigations pertaining to the homunculi
now under the direct supervision of the Führer?
We find out everything the brothers know, like we were originally going to.
There's the possibility that the Chimera might appear again.
Kimbly too.
Let's go.
This is a foul place we've come to.
Greed-san?
Roa, you guys go back to Devil's Nest.
Are you going off someplace by yourself?
There's just something that's been bothering me.
I see.
So, Al, you don't remember anything about the other side of the doorway, huh?
No.
If not, then Al's body, together with those memories,
could still be on the other side.
How can we get them back from there?
If we use a Philosopher's Stone, then we can ignore the Principle of Equivalent Exchange
and open the doorway once again.
Equivalent exchange, huh?
Ed, do you believe in that?
Of course he does!
In order for something to be obtained, it must be accompanied by something of equal value.
And not just in alchemy, that's a principle throughout the whole world.
If that's so,
then that boy lost his own life before he was ever born.
And what did he obtain for that price?
Apparently, I'm not that good a teacher.
Mason!
Yes?
Show these two where Dante-san's house is.
Tomorrow, I'll have them go there to get some medicine.
Did you think you were going to stay here for free?
I wonder what kind of person this Dante-san is.
A famous pharmacist, from what Mason-san said.
Brother, there's something that's been bothering me.
Supposing that homunculi are born when a human transmutation fails...
Come on, Al, let's get a move on!
Anyone home?
We've been expecting you.
Dante-sama is waiting for you inside.
Huh?
It's you!
Lyra?
Lyra-san?
I'm terribly sorry for what happened on that occasion.
What are you doing here?
I am employed here as Dante-sama's pupil,
so that I may become as superb an alchemist as she is.
Dante-san is an alchemist?
Yes.
This is all thanks to you.
You taught me something important.
Your character has completely changed, huh?
Come in.
I have brought them.
I've been waiting for you, Elric brothers.
You're Dante-san?
Yes. I was surprised to find that you were Izumi's students.
I've heard what is going on. I will get her medicine ready at once.
U-Um, by any chance, did our teacher also...?
Yes. Long ago, she learned alchemy here.
Really?
Yes.
Then, Dante-san, that makes you our teacher's teacher!
I suppose that's what it means.
Hey, now, how did a guy like me get to be so lucky?
And here I just came by to see a familiar face.
Well,
there's no letting them out of my sight now.
Are you serious about that?
You are a fellow State Alchemist.
Hey, we just got word from Greed-san. It sounds like he needs some more hands.
Please, think it over.
Dante-san, why did you decide to become an alchemist?
Let's see...
It may sound corny,
but I suppose it was because I wanted to help people.
Alchemy is something that people need.
Of course, the alchemy by itself isn't anything all that special.
But still, when it comes to working to help others,
that's something that alchemy can do.
I'd like for people that strive to be happy to be rewarded for as hard as they work.
That's the way I felt.
Equivalent exchange?
Yes. People can only gain one thing for one effort.
That is the absolute truth.
Dante-san, what do you think about the Philosopher's Stone?
Are you two searching for the Philosopher's Stone too?
N-No, we were...
All those who have sought the Philosopher's Stone
have been driven to despair.
It may be that it is too soon for mankind to acquire the Stone.
You know, you bear such a resemblance to him.
Your father, Hohenheim the Light, also sought the Philosopher's Stone.
Our father did?
Do you know where your father is?
I don't even want to know.
Brother...
They've split up.
Handle the rest like we planned.
Got it?
Go!
Now then...
You...!
Why, you!
You must be surprised. I call it the Mightiest Shield.
Lyra-san?
Lyra-san!
Don't move!
As long as you don't resist, I have no intention of harming her.
Dante-san!
Good day.
Who are you folks?
We're kidnappers.
Kidnappers?
Alphonse Elric,
I'm sorry, but you'll have to come with us.
But Sensei taught me that I shouldn't go with strangers.
What are you, stupid? Just how old are you?
Fourteen.
If you're fourteen,
then you're old enough to think and behave all by yourself, aren't you?
Listen up. If you're a real man, you'll act on your own will!
Mm-hmm.
You can't go on forever doing things just because your teacher said to.
I get it. I have to think for myself, huh?
Exactly.
Now that you've figured that out, come with us—
After thinking about it for myself,
I've decided that I'm not going to go with strangers.
Not bad.
On the day you left,
kimi ga tabidatsu hi wa
I said good-bye and waved, like always
itsumo to onaji 'jaa ne' to te o futta
Almost as if I would see you again
maru de ashita mo mata
in this town tomorrow
kono machi de au mitai ni
To believe in love
ai o shinjiru no wa
To believe in love
ai o shinjiru no wa
is to not give up on yourself
jibun ni mo makenai koto
And until the day my dream comes true,
yume ga kanau hi made
I will be here with a smile as I look up at the stars,
egao no mama hoshi o mite inori sasage
offering up a prayer
koko ni iru kara
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
bundling you up, sorrows and all,

so that you know, whenever you look up, that you are not alone,
itsudemo miageru toki wa hitori ja nai to
so that you know, whenever you look up, that you are not alone,

Episode 33: "Al, Captured"
I have no intention of negotiating with the thugs who have taken my brother!
