1. It was the stone, as red as blood,
Copy !req
2. which promised to turn suffering
to delight, bring victory to battle,
Copy !req
3. and life back to the dead.
Copy !req
4. In reverence, people referred
to it as "The Philosopher's Stone."
Copy !req
5. How can this be possible...?
Copy !req
6. Brother...
Copy !req
7. This is the answer we finally arrive at,
after searching for it for so long?
Copy !req
8. How can living people be the
ingredients for a Philosopher's Stone...?
Copy !req
9. And so many of them, to boot...!
Copy !req
10. Man cannot obtain anything
without first sacrificing something.
Copy !req
11. In order to obtain anything,
something of equal value is required.
Copy !req
12. That is alchemy's
Law of Equivalent Exchange.
Copy !req
13. At the time, we believed that
to be the true way of the world.
Copy !req
14. Ready, steady, can't hold me back,
Copy !req
15. Ready, steady give me good luck,
Copy !req
16. Ready, steady, never look back,
Copy !req
17. Let's get started, ready, steady, go!
Copy !req
18. The landscape blows on by me,
as I roll my way forward,
Copy !req
19. and even if things get desperate,
I won't lose sight of the goal now!
Copy !req
20. You can take those unreliable maps
and just burn them up!
Copy !req
21. I'm going to take those hidden truths,
and snatch them in the palm of my hand!
Copy !req
22. Delirious, (speedily),
I've broken through this far,
Copy !req
23. my heart beating so loud and hard,
it feels like it's about to burst!
Copy !req
24. Your voice echoes as you call out to me,
Copy !req
25. but I just don't have
the time to stop where I am!
Copy !req
26. Ready, steady, 90-'
Copy !req
27. Please, trust me!
Copy !req
28. "The Truth Behind Truths"
Copy !req
29. M-Major, p-please, wait a minute!
Maj. Armstrong...!
Copy !req
30. Um, right now, they appear to be tired,
so we probably shouldn't disturb them.
Copy !req
31. What? They're tired? In that case,
Copy !req
32. I'll invite them to have some dinner,
which will increase their energy...
Copy !req
33. Ah, no! Um...!
Copy !req
34. Right now, the two of them are resting.
I will tell them that you came by, Major.
Copy !req
35. I see. I guess there's nothing
I can do if they're sleeping.
Copy !req
36. God must really hate people
who have committed the damnable.
Copy !req
37. Just when we think things are within reach,
they run away on us. Then it repeats.
Copy !req
38. And when it's finally within our grasp,
we get kicked down by it.
Copy !req
39. Is this going to happen for our whole lives?
Copy !req
40. Brother...
Copy !req
41. I thought that once we
found the Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
42. our wish would be granted.
Copy !req
43. We'll find it, that's for sure!
After all, we're trying this hard.
Copy !req
44. They may say that
you're a dog of the military,
Copy !req
45. and that you've sold your
soul for special privileges,
Copy !req
46. but we haven't given up, and we've
worked to come this far, haven't we?
Copy !req
47. And so... and so,
we'll find it for sure, Brother...
Copy !req
48. Brother...
Copy !req
49. Let's try doing it over from the start again.
Copy !req
50. I've had enough.
Copy !req
51. There's a chance that
maybe we misread something.
Copy !req
52. I said I've had enough.
Copy !req
53. But, what if we try re-reading it?
We might discover something new!
Copy !req
54. I'm going to give it a shot.
Let's keep trying!
Copy !req
55. I told you, I've had enough!
Copy !req
56. Brother...
Copy !req
57. ls something the matter?
Copy !req
58. I'm sorry. I don't even
want to look at it any more.
Copy !req
59. Brother...
Copy !req
60. So, that's it, then?
Copy !req
61. You won't regret having given up here?
Copy !req
62. Is what you've been searching for
something you'd abandon this easily?
Copy !req
63. Stop going on like you know
what you're talking about,
Copy !req
64. when you don't know anything.
Copy !req
65. I know. I know that you guys are
seeking the Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
66. and that it is made by
sacrificing living people.
Copy !req
67. I knew it was rude,
but I allowed myself to listen in.
Copy !req
68. If you've listened in, then you must know
Copy !req
69. that it won't do any good to
investigate any further. Just leave us alone!
Copy !req
70. You really are a child, huh?
Copy !req
71. You're scared, right?
That the answers might disappear?
Copy !req
72. You don't want to acknowledge that
everything you've gone through this far
Copy !req
73. might be for nothing, right?
Copy !req
74. Am I wrong?
Copy !req
75. It's okay if it doesn't mean anything, isn't it?
Copy !req
76. Verifying whether this means anything
or not is worth something, if you ask me.
Copy !req
77. What you're seeking isn't
anything all that simple right?
Copy !req
78. Why don't you keep trying
a little longer, Edward-san?
Copy !req
79. You're right...
Copy !req
80. It's not as though the
answers are going to change,
Copy !req
81. just because I chuck it all along the way.
Copy !req
82. Brother!
Copy !req
83. We've come this far!
How can we end it all halfway?
Copy !req
84. We're going to see how
this turns out in the end!
Copy !req
85. Let's do it, Al!
Copy !req
86. Mm-hmm!
Copy !req
87. Marcoh-san's research is sound in theory.
Copy !req
88. However, it still did not result
in a perfect Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
89. There still might be other possibilities.
Copy !req
90. Yeah. I'm going to verify the truth of
Marcoh-san's theory with my own eyes.
Copy !req
91. Truth...?
Copy !req
92. The genuine truth behind truths...
Copy !req
93. Behind... truths...
Copy !req
94. That's it! There is something else!
Copy !req
95. According to this data,
Copy !req
96. a considerably large facility would be
needed to create a Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
97. There are currently four alchemy
laboratories under the military.
Copy !req
98. Among those, Doctor Marcoh was
assigned to the Third Laboratory.
Copy !req
99. I went around to all of
the laboratories in the city,
Copy !req
100. and there wasn't all that
remarkable research going on there.
Copy !req
101. Huh? What's this?
Copy !req
102. Ah, in the past, that was a fifth laboratory,
Copy !req
103. but it was closed down,
and the place is deserted now.
Copy !req
104. There's a risk of it collapsing,
so it was made off limits.
Copy !req
105. It's there!
Copy !req
106. Look.
Copy !req
107. There's a prison next to it.
Copy !req
108. Central 2nd Prison. What about it?
Copy !req
109. With people being the
ingredient for a Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
110. what if they did their research there
Copy !req
111. because it was the easiest
place to procure them?
Copy !req
112. You don't mean, they used prisoners...?
Copy !req
113. Yeah.
Copy !req
114. If they didn't execute
condemned criminals,
Copy !req
115. and instead used them as
live materials, that would explain it.
Copy !req
116. Who is in charge of the laboratories?
Copy !req
117. That would have been
Brig. Gen. Basque Grand.
Copy !req
118. And he was killed by Scar some time ago.
Copy !req
119. Brother...
Copy !req
120. We've got no choice.
Copy !req
121. What do you say we go there
and check things out directly?
Copy !req
122. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
123. J-Just a moment!
Copy !req
124. From here on, this is grown-ups' work.
Besides, Scar is still after you.
Copy !req
125. It's too dangerous for you
to go walking around outside.
Copy !req
126. Yeah, but still...
Copy !req
127. We will investigate the Fifth Laboratory.
You wait here, please.
Copy !req
128. If we learn anything,
we will report it to you.
Copy !req
129. If you please...
Copy !req
130. Brother...
Copy !req
131. So be it. Okay, it's up to you.
Copy !req
132. We'll ask you to handle it.
Copy !req
133. Right! Leave it to us!
Copy !req
134. Lt. Col. Hughes,
Copy !req
135. I'm finished writing down the
court record for case number 3263.
Copy !req
136. Oh, is that right?
Sorry, hang on a minute.
Copy !req
137. Well, let's have you continue on
with case number 9572, if you would.
Copy !req
138. They're going to use it in a
trial tomorrow, so put a rush on it.
Copy !req
139. Okay...
Copy !req
140. What's the matter? Are you tired?
Copy !req
141. No, not particularly!
Copy !req
142. Look here! This one is
a special swimsuit version!
Copy !req
143. What do you think?
She's so cute, it just melts your heart!
Copy !req
144. Just looking at this, the
fatigue just flies away, doesn't it?
Copy !req
145. How about it? Hm? Hm?
Copy !req
146. Yes...
Copy !req
147. —It does, doesn't it?
—Um, Lt. Colonel...
Copy !req
148. —My daughter is such a little healer.
—Lt. Colonel! What is the problem there?
Copy !req
149. So, did you find Scar's body?
Not yet, huh? All right.
Copy !req
150. As for the matter of us
sending security to the library,
Copy !req
151. hurry and take care of that for me.
Copy !req
152. Oh, I've been introduced
to quite a find here.
Copy !req
153. I owe one to Ed for her.
Copy !req
154. Tripwire alarms?
Copy !req
155. For a building that isn't being used,
the security sure is tight, huh?
Copy !req
156. This is getting more and more suspicious.
Copy !req
157. All right, let's go around back.
Copy !req
158. Al...
Copy !req
159. Up$'a-daisy!
Copy !req
160. I hate to say it, but it's times like this
Copy !req
161. that I'm glad I don't have
my flesh-and-blood arm and leg.
Copy !req
162. Same here.
Copy !req
163. This entrance is locked up tight, too, huh?
Copy !req
164. Brother, over there...
Copy !req
165. Looks like it goes all the
way inside. AI, you wait here.
Copy !req
166. Will you be all right by yourself?
Copy !req
167. All right or not, your huge size
won't fit through here, right?
Copy !req
168. Okay, I'll be back in a bit.
Copy !req
169. I'm not this big because I wanted to be!
Copy !req
170. This is Lt. Maria Ross.
Major Armstrong, please.
Copy !req
171. What is it, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
172. Major, I need to talk
to you about something—
Copy !req
173. Hey!
Copy !req
174. Contact the Command Center
at once, and call in reinforcements!
Copy !req
175. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
176. I have no business with you.
Copy !req
177. Where is Fullmetal?
Copy !req
178. Two of you stay here!
We're going up another stairway!
Copy !req
179. He's going up to Edward-saws room!
Copy !req
180. So Fullmetal knew about this, too?
Copy !req
181. Don't move, Scar!
Copy !req
182. Lieutenant!
Copy !req
183. Where are Edward-san and his brother?
Copy !req
184. Please look at this.
Copy !req
185. Those boys...!
Copy !req
186. The town of Liore...
Copy !req
187. has been dealt with all neat and tidy.
Copy !req
188. There's no longer anyone
there that knows too much.
Copy !req
189. You don't say. Nice work, Envy.
Copy !req
190. Things are going well here, too.
Copy !req
191. The Fullmetal pipsqueak has gotten
wind of the laboratory, hasn't he?
Copy !req
192. Shouldn't we dispose of him
before it gets out to the military?
Copy !req
193. If we're going to kill him, let me!
Copy !req
194. Hold on. That boy might
just grant us what we want.
Copy !req
195. If we're going to kill him, it won't
be too late to do so after that, will it?
Copy !req
196. Well, it doesn't matter to me,
as long as it doesn't mess up the plan.
Copy !req
197. Although, it seems doubtful that
he would ever arrive there safely.
Copy !req
198. I told them not to lay a hand
on those two, but it is concerning.
Copy !req
199. They are idiots, after all.
Copy !req
200. If it looks to be too troublesome,
dispose of the whole lot of them.
Copy !req
201. I know.
Copy !req
202. Damn, this is narrower than I thought.
Copy !req
203. Damn it all, if I was normal-sized,
I wouldn't have gotten through here.
Copy !req
204. It's a good thing I'm so little.
Copy !req
205. Augh! No it's not!
Copy !req
206. The lights are on...
Copy !req
207. So, they're not
currently using it, huh? Bingo!
Copy !req
208. Wh-What?
Copy !req
209. For them to go this far, they must
really not want anyone getting close.
Copy !req
210. Sounds interesting! I'll take them on!
Copy !req
211. Hey! Aren't we under orders
not to lay a hand on them?
Copy !req
212. I don't care about that.
I can't rest until I've carved them up!
Copy !req
213. Wait! There are two in our quarry.
There are also two of us.
Copy !req
214. I won't allow you to monopolize them.
Copy !req
215. Damn it! This thing is
relentless for being just a ball!
Copy !req
216. L-it really is a good thing I'm so small...
Copy !req
217. Why. you...! This is a pain!
Copy !req
218. Come on in, they're saying?
Copy !req
219. Nice of you to come. I welcome you.
Copy !req
220. You don't look very welcoming.
Copy !req
221. I am he who was
entrusted to guard this place.
Copy !req
222. For the time being,
you may call me Number 48.
Copy !req
223. Number 48?
Copy !req
224. It's been so long. I'm delighted to be
able to go against someone so capable.
Copy !req
225. You have run out of luck
by coming up against me.
Copy !req
226. Do not think ill of me, kid.
Copy !req
227. And you, don't think ill of me
for being the kid that defeated you.
Copy !req
228. Brother sure is taking long.
What could he be doing?
Copy !req
229. Nice. You move well, for being so big.
That's more like it.
Copy !req
230. Who are you?
Copy !req
231. I should respond,
when asked who I am, huh?
Copy !req
232. My name is Number 66. Although,
that's just what they call me at work.
Copy !req
233. Number 66?
Copy !req
234. Yes. I do have my own,
proper name as well,
Copy !req
235. but if you heard it, you'd be
so surprised you'd wet yourself.
Copy !req
236. I'll tell you when I finish you off.
Copy !req
237. You say you guard this place, right?
Copy !req
238. There's a little something I'd like to ask you.
Copy !req
239. If you can defeat me,
I will tell you anything.
Copy !req
240. Right, then...
Copy !req
241. let's see how good you are!
Copy !req
242. You're fast!
Copy !req
243. Your false arm is steel up
to the shoulder, is it? Even so...
Copy !req
244. my beloved sword will pierce even steel!
Copy !req
245. You've got to be kidding!
Copy !req
246. If I bust it again, I'm going
to get killed by Winry, you know!
Copy !req
247. Let's see...
Copy !req
248. Oops...
Copy !req
249. His reflexes...!
Copy !req
250. Why, you...!
Copy !req
251. What?
Copy !req
252. Kid...!
Copy !req
253. He's...
Copy !req
254. the same kind of
armored body as Al...?
Copy !req
255. We are even now crying out...
Copy !req
256. You squeeze your right hand,
as if to reassure yourself.
Copy !req
257. Go on, take those annoying
rules and dash them away!
Copy !req
258. If it comes down to having
to rest your wounded feet,
Copy !req
259. you've got to keep moving forward,
if only just a step!
Copy !req
260. We've pushed our way
through the twisting winds,
Copy !req
261. gotten beyond the cold sky,
Copy !req
262. but yet we still continue to wander on.
Copy !req
263. We always find ourselves crying out.
Copy !req
264. Just continuing to believe
is not the answer.
Copy !req
265. We must bare our weaknesses and wounds,
Copy !req
266. and continue to struggle,
or nothing will ever turn out!
Copy !req
267. Break on through to the
other side of the door!
Copy !req
268. To the other side of the door!
Copy !req
269. Fullmetal Alchemist...
Copy !req
270. Episode 20: "Soul of the Guardian."
Copy !req
271. We've cried a lot,
laughed a lot, and have seen hell.
Copy !req
272. These memories are not false. I am human!
Copy !req
