1. This is going to be quite
a chore to find just one book.Copy !req
2. She couldn't be...Copy !req
3. Who's there?Copy !req
4. What do you want, scarred man?Copy !req
5. You look like her...
But there's no way you could be—Copy !req
6. I smell something, I smell something.Copy !req
7. It's the smell of an lshbalan,
covered with blood.Copy !req
8. You intend to involve yourself with
the Fullmetal pipsqueak-chan, don't you?Copy !req
9. We can't have that. We still need the
boy to pursue the Philosopher's Stone.Copy !req
10. What are you talking about?Copy !req
11. Oh dear, perhaps I said too much.Copy !req
12. Can I eat this one, too?Copy !req
13. Man cannot obtain anything
without first sacrificing something.Copy !req
14. In order to obtain anything,
something of equal value is required.Copy !req
15. That is alchemy's
Law of Equivalent Exchange.Copy !req
16. At the time, we believed that
to be the true way of the world.Copy !req
17. Ready, steady, can't hold me back,Copy !req
18. Ready, steady give me good luck,Copy !req
19. Ready, steady, never look back,Copy !req
20. Let's get started, ready, steady, go!Copy !req
21. The landscape blows on by me,
as I roll my way forward,Copy !req
22. and even if things get desperate,
I won't lose sight of the goal now!Copy !req
23. You can take those unreliable maps
and just burn them up!Copy !req
24. I'm going to take those hidden truths,
and snatch them in the palm of my hand!Copy !req
25. Delirious, (speedily),
I've broken through this far,Copy !req
26. my heart beating so loud and hard,
it feels like it's about to burst!Copy !req
27. Your voice echoes as you call out to me,Copy !req
28. but I just don't have
the time to stop where I am!Copy !req
29. Ready, steady, 90-'Copy !req
30. Please, trust me!Copy !req
31. "Marcoh's Notes"Copy !req
32. We're here! Central!Copy !req
33. Phew! How about we head
for the first branch right away?Copy !req
34. Brother, hold on!Copy !req
35. You don't need to hurry,
the library isn't going to run off!Copy !req
36. We've finally got a definite lead!Copy !req
37. I can't just sit still now!Copy !req
38. Maj. Armstrong, we have come to greet you.Copy !req
39. Well done. I will be proceeding
directly to the command center,Copy !req
40. so you will be in charge of
guarding these two from now on.Copy !req
41. Lt. Maria Ross!Copy !req
42. Sgt. Denny Brash'.!Copy !req
43. It's nice to meet you,
Fullmetal Alchemist-done.Copy !req
44. Wow, you're dressed just
as your second name implies!Copy !req
45. You do indeed wear it with dignity.Copy !req
46. This happens all the time.Copy !req
47. Eh, I'm used to it.Copy !req
48. Then, it's this little fellow—Copy !req
49. No, I meant...Copy !req
50. I didn't think you were
going to be a child like this...Copy !req
51. Aah, enough already!Copy !req
52. Major! We don't need any guards!Copy !req
53. The two of us are both
perfectly put back together!Copy !req
54. I really would like to
let you go, too, however...Copy !req
55. We've received information that
Scar has appeared again in Central.Copy !req
56. That's right. Just put up with it for now.Copy !req
57. Fullmetal Alchemist-done,
leave everything to us!Copy !req
58. I just hope you don't slow me down.Copy !req
59. Ah, we have a car waiting!Copy !req
60. I apologize.Copy !req
61. He's always like that.
Please don't let it bother you.Copy !req
62. Despite how he appears, he has
overcome a bitter past many times...Copy !req
63. Please overlook his behavior for me.Copy !req
64. R-Right... But actually, as it happens...Copy !req
65. Last night, the first branch was all but
completely lost due to a fire that broke out.Copy !req
66. You're kidding me, right?Copy !req
67. According to eyewitness reports,
we suspect that it was the act of Scar,Copy !req
68. who is on our wanted list.Copy !req
69. Brother...Copy !req
70. Our lead is all burned up...Copy !req
71. "Central Command Center"Copy !req
72. Really! Seriously, seriously!
I want you to hear her, too!Copy !req
73. She's a prodigy!
And she's only three years old!Copy !req
74. She has an angelic singing voice!Copy !req
75. "Eastern Command Center"Copy !req
76. Lt. Colonel, I'm working here.Copy !req
77. Huh? Fancy that! I'm working too!Copy !req
78. Geez, I wonder if there is any alchemyCopy !req
79. that can burn someone up
on the other end of the phone.Copy !req
80. You say such frightening things,
Flame Alchemist.Copy !req
81. Now then, about that other matter...Copy !req
82. According to eyewitness testimony,
we're certain that Scar was involved.Copy !req
83. However, looking at the site, I can't
believe it was the work of him alone.Copy !req
84. There is evidence that he
was fighting with someone.Copy !req
85. Any news on Scar?Copy !req
86. Signs of fighting continue on away
from the building site into the sewers.Copy !req
87. We discovered his bloodstained
clothes further downstream,Copy !req
88. but we're not sure if he's alive or dead.Copy !req
89. Right now in Central,
following the death of Brig. Gen. Grand,Copy !req
90. there are plausible rumors going around
that Col. Mustang will be returning.Copy !req
91. Then again, there are others that are
putting forward the misdirected notionCopy !req
92. that you're the one behind the disturbances.Copy !req
93. Hm, how ridiculous. But then...Copy !req
94. Returning to Central, huh?
That doesn't sound bad.Copy !req
95. Watch yourself. You've got a lot of
enemies among the higher-ups right now.Copy !req
96. I'm ready for them.Copy !req
97. Make as many friends as you can,Copy !req
98. who understand you and will support you.Copy !req
99. Which means, as soon as you can...Copy !req
100. find yourself a wife!Copy !req
101. —Shut up!
—Colonel, take it easy on the phone.Copy !req
102. Lt. Colonel! Don't sit up there!Copy !req
103. "Central Library"Copy !req
104. We've been searching since this morning,Copy !req
105. but these are the only
books we were able to recover.Copy !req
106. This is terrible.Copy !req
107. Brother...Copy !req
108. Sure enough,Copy !req
109. there aren't any books authored
by Tim Marcoh in the main building.Copy !req
110. If they had been moved
there from the branch,Copy !req
111. there should be a record of it, after all.Copy !req
112. Um, is there any possibility
that it was checked out by anyone?Copy !req
113. Yes, but since the circulation
records were also burned up...Copy !req
114. I see...Copy !req
115. it was probably burned up
together with all the others.Copy !req
116. If only we could have confirmed
that his book was really even in there...Copy !req
117. Was there anyone else that worked there?Copy !req
118. He and I were the only two
people on staff in that branch.Copy !req
119. Just you two?Copy !req
120. Only State Alchemists were
permitted in the branch, and all.Copy !req
121. I think I remember there being a
young lady there who wore glasses.Copy !req
122. Ah, you mean Scieszka?
She was fired a little while back.Copy !req
123. Fired?Copy !req
124. That girl was a little unusual.Copy !req
125. Scieszka was a bookworm.Copy !req
126. Worm...?Copy !req
127. I guess she isn't home.Copy !req
128. The lights are on. Let's open it!Copy !req
129. You can't!Copy !req
130. What a mountain of books!Copy !req
131. Does someone actually live here?Copy !req
132. Scieszka-san, are you here?Copy !req
133. Scieszka-san!Copy !req
134. She's not here.Copy !req
135. Help...! Help...!Copy !req
136. There's someone—
there's someone buried here!Copy !req
137. Dig! Dig! Just keep digging!Copy !req
138. Thank you very much. I inadvertently
knocked over that pile of books.Copy !req
139. I couldn't breathe,
and thought I was going to die.Copy !req
140. Scieszka-san, you used to
work at the first branch, right?Copy !req
141. Yes. All I ever did was read books
while I was working, so I got fired.Copy !req
142. I have to support my sick mother,Copy !req
143. but I'm just no good at
anything besides reading books—Copy !req
144. Um, anyhow, Scieszka-san,
do you remember there being a bookCopy !req
145. authored by someone named
Tim Marcoh at the branch?Copy !req
146. Tim Marcoh?Copy !req
147. It would probably be a thick,
handwritten research journal.Copy !req
148. A thick, handwritten research journal...
by Tim Marcoh...Copy !req
149. Yes, I remember!Copy !req
150. It was a leather-bound book,
with handwritten manuscripts inside.Copy !req
151. Are you sure about that?Copy !req
152. Yes. I remember all of the
books in the branch's collection.Copy !req
153. Which would mean, sure enough...Copy !req
154. Damn. We're right back where we started.Copy !req
155. Brother...Copy !req
156. Yes, indeed. It sure is sad when
you can't find a book you want to read.Copy !req
157. I know that feeling terribly well.Copy !req
158. I, too, once wandered
among this mountain of booksCopy !req
159. "Delusion"Reality"Copy !req
160. but still did not find the
one volume I wanted to read.Copy !req
161. It's so sad, so sad...Copy !req
162. S-Scieszka-san, thanks.Copy !req
163. With your help, we at least
confirmed that the book existed.Copy !req
164. We'll manage to do something from here on.Copy !req
165. You mean, there's still some other way?Copy !req
166. I'm going to take the cinders of
all the books that were burned,Copy !req
167. and transmute them
back to their original form!Copy !req
168. Incredible! Can you really
do something like that?Copy !req
169. Watch closely!Copy !req
170. Uh, what about that?Copy !req
171. Is it okay for that stuff to go flying off?Copy !req
172. No matter how hard you try,
it'll be impossible, Brother.Copy !req
173. Um, if you'd like,
shall I reproduce the book for you?Copy !req
174. I remember the entire
contents of a book once I read it.Copy !req
175. And since I've read most
of the books in the branch...Copy !req
176. You mean it? Can you really do that?Copy !req
177. It's a silly little talent I have,
but if I can help you out...Copy !req
178. "Three Days Later..."Copy !req
179. Here you go! There was a lot of content,Copy !req
180. so it took me three whole
days to write it all down.Copy !req
181. This is Marcoh-san's research journal? Really?Copy !req
182. Yes! Everything from light
and easy hors d'oeuvres,Copy !req
183. to party dinners you'd invite guests to.Copy !req
184. Tim Marcoh's
1000 Recipes for Today's Menus!Copy !req
185. Right?Copy !req
186. One tablespoon of sugar,
a pinch of salt and pepper...Copy !req
187. This really is today's menu.Copy !req
188. Are you sure you didn't
get the wrong author?Copy !req
189. You're not serious! All I did
was reproduce what I was told to.Copy !req
190. It was all in vain, I'm sorry to say.Copy !req
191. No...Copy !req
192. You're sure that, word for word, this is
the same thing that Marcoh-san wrote?Copy !req
193. Yes, no doubt about it.Copy !req
194. You're incredible! Thanks!Copy !req
195. Lt. Ross!Copy !req
196. Give Scieszka this amount of money for me.Copy !req
197. If you go to State Alchemist
Services with my references there,Copy !req
198. they'll take it out of
my research budget for you.Copy !req
199. Al, let's go!Copy !req
200. Hold on...!Copy !req
201. Sergeant, here.Copy !req
202. What is he planning
to do with a book like that?Copy !req
203. Indeed...Copy !req
204. That much?Copy !req
205. For him to pay out this amount all at once,Copy !req
206. he sure is a State Alchemist!Copy !req
207. Wait, please! Where are you going?Copy !req
208. We're going to hole up in
the Central Library for a while.Copy !req
209. They'll have abundant
materials and dictionaries, after all.Copy !req
210. You can't mean it! We still
don't know Scar's whereabouts.Copy !req
211. We can't guard you in such a high-traffic area!Copy !req
212. Well, you can report that to your
superiors, or whatever else you like!Copy !req
213. This is our problem!Copy !req
214. We've finally found
ourselves a lead. Forgive us.Copy !req
215. Marcoh-san's research journal...Copy !req
216. It definitely appears to be an
ordinary cookbook at first glance.Copy !req
217. The secret to the Philosopher's
Stone is written in here, huh?Copy !req
218. It's encoded, to protect
against it being misused.Copy !req
219. They do say that alchemy was
born in the kitchen, after all!Copy !req
220. With me working on this,
it'll be an easy task!Copy !req
221. And here I thought
I could solve this right away...Copy !req
222. This is one hard code to break.Copy !req
223. If only we could ask Marcoh-san directly.Copy !req
224. He abandoned his research.
We can't very well rely on him anymore.Copy !req
225. Yo, Ed, AI!Copy !req
226. Are you doing all right?Copy !req
227. Lt. Colonel! What's the deal?
We haven't seen you around at all!Copy !req
228. It's Scar's appearance.
He's got us running all over.Copy !req
229. AI, did you get your
body fixed up all right?Copy !req
230. Yes, thank goodness.Copy !req
231. Those two are on familiar
terms with the Lt. Colonel!Copy !req
232. Lt. Col. Hughes!Copy !req
233. If anything were to happen here,
we could not ensure the safety of these two.Copy !req
234. They should return to
quarters at the Command Center.Copy !req
235. I asked you to leave us alone!Copy !req
236. As long as we do not know where Scar is,Copy !req
237. we should reexamine our security structure!Copy !req
238. Lt. Ross is definitely right.Copy !req
239. Lt. Colonel...!Copy !req
240. However, I can't make
the call on my own authority.Copy !req
241. Why don't you ask Maj. Armstrong?Copy !req
242. —No! Please, not him—!
—No, not him—!Copy !req
243. Lt. Colonel,Copy !req
244. I'm just one step away. I'm begging you.Copy !req
245. I'm at a point where I can't do
very much about the Scar matter...Copy !req
246. On top of that, all the case
records have been burned up.Copy !req
247. There isn't any work to be done.Copy !req
248. Case records?
Those were at the branch, too?Copy !req
249. Uh-huh. Affidavit records,
lists of names, the whole bit.Copy !req
250. Lt. Colonel...!Copy !req
251. Me...?Copy !req
252. Um, sure I've read the
military's criminal records,Copy !req
253. and lists of convicts.Copy !req
254. You'll be fine.Copy !req
255. If what you say is true,
this will help us out greatly.Copy !req
256. I'll vouch for her. If you're
going to hire her, now's the time.Copy !req
257. You mean it? To think that I,
whose only ability is reading,Copy !req
258. would become part of
the Court-Martial Office...!Copy !req
259. It's not like that.Copy !req
260. Working at something really
hard is a talent in and of itself.Copy !req
261. You have an incredible memory, after all.Copy !req
262. I think you should be proud of it.Copy !req
263. Thank you.Copy !req
264. Um, I will do the best I can!
Thanks for your consideration!Copy !req
265. All right! Now that that's settled,
let's get right to work.Copy !req
266. I Pay handsomely!Copy !req
267. Thank you very much!Copy !req
268. I guess I've got no choice.Copy !req
269. I'll send someone from the
Court-Martial Office to cover library security.Copy !req
270. Eh? Thanks, man. And I didn't
even mean for this to happen, either.Copy !req
271. Liar!Copy !req
272. See you later. Don't go
working on that too hard.Copy !req
273. Just a moment please, Lt. Colonel!Copy !req
274. Lt. Ross...Copy !req
275. I know what you're going to say,Copy !req
276. but they are not the kind
of guys that give up easily.Copy !req
277. I'll dispatch additional
men to you by tomorrow.Copy !req
278. I'm asking you to make do.Copy !req
279. Why are you supporting them this much?Copy !req
280. Letting them continue to work,
when you know the danger to them...!Copy !req
281. Those boys are still children!Copy !req
282. Which is why we're protecting them.Copy !req
283. Right now, what they are doing is
something that only they can do.Copy !req
284. It is the role of us adults to
watch over children like them.Copy !req
285. I leave you to it.Copy !req
286. Brother...!Copy !req
287. You're homunculi, are you?Copy !req
288. My, there are still humans
who believe in our existence.Copy !req
289. I didn't get to eat him.Copy !req
290. I would have liked to have
verified Marcoh's research journal.Copy !req
291. But there's no need to now, is there?Copy !req
292. Ah, you're awake?Copy !req
293. That is a surprise. I didn't think
you were going to come back to life.Copy !req
294. Where am I?Copy !req
295. Mister, you're an lshbalan, right?Copy !req
296. Don't worry! This is a town of lshbalans!Copy !req
297. Grandpa! He's back to life!Copy !req
298. You've held on to your life, young one.Copy !req
299. You're the guy, aren't you?
The one on the wanted list.Copy !req
300. Relax. There's no one here who
would sell out one of their own.Copy !req
301. I had no idea there were
this many surviving lshbalans.Copy !req
302. It's not just here. There are
little villages all over the land,Copy !req
303. and everyone is still going strong.Copy !req
304. "The entire world is the
bosom of our God, lshbala."Copy !req
305. No results today either, huh?Copy !req
306. I don't know what it
is that they're studying,Copy !req
307. but I wish they'd give it up already.Copy !req
308. Those boys won't give up
until they've found something.Copy !req
309. And it's our job to protect them.Copy !req
310. You've gotta be yanking me!Copy !req
311. Now I understand... the reason
this is called the devil's research...Copy !req
312. the reason Marcoh-san
abandoned his research...Copy !req
313. Brother...Copy !req
314. It's no wonder! The material needed
for making a Philosopher's Stone...Copy !req
315. is live human beings!Copy !req
316. Huh? What's the matter?Copy !req
317. And here... I finally thought
it was within our grasp...!Copy !req
318. you're going?Copy !req
319. Thanks for your help.Copy !req
320. You could just stay here.Copy !req
321. I cannot do that. I am a person
who has betrayed the way of God.Copy !req
322. That arm is amazing.Copy !req
323. Yeah.Copy !req
324. We are even now crying out...Copy !req
325. Something very precious
given to me by my family...Copy !req
326. You squeeze your right hand,
as if to reassure yourself.Copy !req
327. Go on, take those annoying
rules and dash them away!Copy !req
328. If it comes down to having
to rest your wounded feet,Copy !req
329. you've got to keep moving forward,
if only just a step!Copy !req
330. We've pushed our way
through the twisting winds,Copy !req
331. gotten beyond the cold sky,Copy !req
332. but yet we still continue to wander on.Copy !req
333. We always find ourselves crying out.Copy !req
334. Just continuing to believe
is not the answer.Copy !req
335. We must bare our weaknesses and wounds,Copy !req
336. and continue to struggle,
or nothing will ever turn out!Copy !req
337. Break on through to the
other side of the door!Copy !req
338. To the other side of the door!Copy !req
339. Fullmetal Alchemist...Copy !req
340. Episode 19: "The Truth Behind Truths."Copy !req
341. Central Laboratory 5...Copy !req
342. There is a hell there
that we were unaware of.Copy !req
