1. What is it? It's the middle of the night.
Copy !req
2. Oh, there's just something
that was concerning me.
Copy !req
3. If it's about Scar,
I still don't have anything.
Copy !req
4. Or is this about Marcoh,
in the care of the Fuhrer?
Copy !req
5. Yeah, there is that too,
Copy !req
6. but lately, it feels like
we haven't even appeared—
Copy !req
7. That idiot. He doesn't know how I feel.
Copy !req
8. I wonder if you shouldn't have
also reported to Col. Mustang.
Copy !req
9. About the brothers, I mean.
Copy !req
10. We don't need to tell him. Not yet.
Copy !req
11. The group that I was going to send
to the library for security is standing by.
Copy !req
12. They should be more
reliable than I am for now.
Copy !req
13. Does that mean...?
Copy !req
14. Yeah. On my own authority,
Copy !req
15. I approve the entrance and investigation
of the site of the Fifth Laboratory.
Copy !req
16. However, get ready to be punished.
Copy !req
17. I hate that place!
Copy !req
18. It's been a long time, huh, boy?
Copy !req
19. But then, I guess it was four
years ago that you first saw me.
Copy !req
20. That night, with the pretty fireworks.
Copy !req
21. Who in the world are you...?
Copy !req
22. That other guy said you were
a homunculus. But that couldn't be.
Copy !req
23. Oh, why is that?
Copy !req
24. A homunculus is an
artificially created person.
Copy !req
25. A man who isn't a man...
Copy !req
26. But there has never been anyone
who could create one. It's impossible.
Copy !req
27. Impossible? There's no such thing.
Copy !req
28. After all, there's a boy who is nothing
but a soul standing in front of me.
Copy !req
29. You're not a person...!
Copy !req
30. Can I eat him?
Copy !req
31. Man cannot obtain anything
without first sacrificing something.
Copy !req
32. In order to obtain anything,
something of equal value is required.
Copy !req
33. That is alchemy's
Law of Equivalent Exchange.
Copy !req
34. At the time, we believed that
to be the true way of the world.
Copy !req
35. Ready, steady, can't hold me back,
Copy !req
36. Ready, steady give me good luck,
Copy !req
37. Ready, steady, never look back,
Copy !req
38. Let's get started, ready, steady, go!
Copy !req
39. The landscape blows on by me,
as I roll my way forward,
Copy !req
40. and even if things get desperate,
I won't lose sight of the goal now!
Copy !req
41. You can take those unreliable maps
and just burn them up!
Copy !req
42. I'm going to take those hidden truths,
and snatch them in the palm of my hand!
Copy !req
43. Delirious, (speedily),
I've broken through this far,
Copy !req
44. my heart beating so loud and hard,
it feels like it's about to burst!
Copy !req
45. Your voice echoes as you call out to me,
Copy !req
46. but I just don't have
the time to stop where I am!
Copy !req
47. Ready, steady, 90-'
Copy !req
48. Please, trust me!
Copy !req
49. "Created Human"
Copy !req
50. I'm starting to understand
the research that took place here.
Copy !req
51. The gist of it is the large-scale
military use of alchemy...
Copy !req
52. in particular, research
related to human transmutation.
Copy !req
53. They used these incomplete
Philosopher's Stones.
Copy !req
54. Knowing you, it's possible that you
can complete the Philosopher's Stones.
Copy !req
55. You know about how
these things are manufactured?
Copy !req
56. No. By the time I was brought here,
Copy !req
57. those had already been
mass-produced and then abandoned.
Copy !req
58. The person who was in charge
here before, Doctor Marcoh,
Copy !req
59. must have left them behind.
Copy !req
60. What's that?
Copy !req
61. Regardless of what they are made from,
do they have any meaning?
Copy !req
62. Even if the ingredients are people,
would you be able to turn them back?
Copy !req
63. In that case,
Copy !req
64. making them into complete Stones
would give them a lot more meaning.
Copy !req
65. I agree with him.
Copy !req
66. You?
Copy !req
67. As they are, their lives
will have meant nothing at all.
Copy !req
68. But...
Copy !req
69. No meaning, huh?
Copy !req
70. Al, your life hasn't lost its meaning, huh?
Copy !req
71. You have overtime this late into the night?
Copy !req
72. F-Fuhrer! Sorry to cause a commotion.
Copy !req
73. I hear you have suspicions
about the Fifth Laboratory.
Copy !req
74. There have been rumors before now,
but I always overlooked them,
Copy !req
75. thinking Brig. Gen. Grand was
working for the good of the military.
Copy !req
76. However, now that the lives of the two young
alchemists are at stake, things are different.
Copy !req
77. I'll send a squad with
the Major, and come myself.
Copy !req
78. There's no way I'm going
to have you go in alone.
Copy !req
79. Where is the scarred man?
Copy !req
80. He dropped into a nasty place.
Copy !req
81. I see. No matter.
Copy !req
82. Greed may be coming to interfere.
Copy !req
83. We'll have to get the
Fullmetal boy to speed things up.
Copy !req
84. This is the area right above
the transmutation circle, right?
Copy !req
85. They've been made into storage tanks,
Copy !req
86. to supply the Philosopher's Stones
in the room below us.
Copy !req
87. All right, I can use this.
Copy !req
88. You humans... really, a hundred
years can go by, and you never change.
Copy !req
89. What's with that bastard?
Copy !req
90. Is he really a soldier?
Copy !req
91. Do you still think that person
is his Excellency, Basque Grand?
Copy !req
92. His Excellency isn't that great a bigwig.
Copy !req
93. You say you're going to transmute
in both rooms at the same time?
Copy !req
94. Yeah. The Philosopher's Stones
in this room alone won't be enough,
Copy !req
95. and even Marcoh-san's research suggested
a way of using two transmutation circles.
Copy !req
96. The Philosopher's Stones above,
and the Philosopher's Stones here,
Copy !req
97. will collide with the two transmutation
circles, and condense together.
Copy !req
98. That kind of explosive power
is necessary to refine them.
Copy !req
99. I'm changing the transmutation circle, too.
Copy !req
100. A transmutation circle with seven corners...
Copy !req
101. First time I've seen one.
Copy !req
102. It just came to me.
Copy !req
103. If I succeed in creating a Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
104. I'm going to return AI
to normal, and then disappear.
Copy !req
105. You can do whatever you want to after that.
Copy !req
106. I'm glad to hear that.
Copy !req
107. Let us out!
Copy !req
108. Is anyone out there?
Copy !req
109. Hey!
Copy !req
110. Stifle it, will you?
Copy !req
111. What are you all relaxed about?
Copy !req
112. Not even you, the comrade-killer,
Copy !req
113. once known as the Crimson Alchemist,
can do anything about this, can you?
Copy !req
114. Do you know why I am
called the comrade-killer?
Copy !req
115. Y-You blew your comrades
all up, right? With bombs?
Copy !req
116. Bombs?
Copy !req
117. I have no need for such things.
Copy !req
118. The human body is
composed of mostly water,
Copy !req
119. but there is a certain quantity
of metallic atoms included within.
Copy !req
120. By making use of that composition,
and a small amount of organic compounds,
Copy !req
121. I can easily transmute explosive materials.
Copy !req
122. And, surrounded by this much red water...
Copy !req
123. my power becomes...
Copy !req
124. Why are there people here...?
Copy !req
125. Were there any other
researchers left beside you?
Copy !req
126. What those people are
wearing are prisoner uniforms.
Copy !req
127. Why are they here? If I had transmuted
without knowing they were there...!
Copy !req
128. You guys! Who brought you here?
Copy !req
129. I did, Fullmetal Alchemist!
Copy !req
130. Under my orders, the prisoners from
the 2nd Prison were relocated here.
Copy !req
131. And whose permission
did you obtain to be here?
Copy !req
132. That was a close one.
Copy !req
133. The general died, right before my eyes.
Copy !req
134. Who are you?
Copy !req
135. Nice to meet you, Fullmetal Pipsqueak-san.
Copy !req
136. I'm impressed that
you found your way here.
Copy !req
137. Just kidding, you good-for-nothing!
Copy !req
138. Whoa! My, you really
are driven, huh, Pipsqueak-san?
Copy !req
139. That's too bad. I really
hate fighting, you know?
Copy !req
140. You shut up with that "Pipsqueak" stuff!
Copy !req
141. You're the one who started this fight!
Copy !req
142. Good grief, you don't
even know your own place.
Copy !req
143. Do you know who you're
picking a fight with? Huh?
Copy !req
144. We've only kept you alive because
we were told to keep you alive!
Copy !req
145. You're going to pay...
You are definitely going to pay...
Copy !req
146. You, who carry his blood...!
Copy !req
147. Envy!
Copy !req
148. It's your fault for not
thoroughly checking the ingredients.
Copy !req
149. You“).!
Copy !req
150. You don't want this experience
to become any more painful, right?
Copy !req
151. If not, would you be good enough to
continue with your transmutation for us?
Copy !req
152. We've had a setback, but there are
still ingredients remaining, and all...
Copy !req
153. Use these prisoners to
create a Philosopher's Stone...?
Copy !req
154. You set this up for me
to do from the start...?
Copy !req
155. You aren't going to say no to us.
Copy !req
156. Al!
Copy !req
157. Brother... these guys... they're homunculi.
Copy !req
158. They couldn't be...
Copy !req
159. He's right.
Copy !req
160. These people are all homunculi—
perfectly created humans.
Copy !req
161. They have promised to
reveal their secrets to me.
Copy !req
162. Once they do,
Nina will come back to life.
Copy !req
163. What's the point of bringing
just her form back to life?
Copy !req
164. Nina's spirit won't be in there!
Copy !req
165. I do have her spirit.
Copy !req
166. Right here.
Copy !req
167. The Nina that lives in my memories.
Copy !req
168. I will transplant all of it
into the homunculus Nina.
Copy !req
169. Once I do, the truly perfect Nina,
Copy !req
170. the greatest one that
I could desire, will be born.
Copy !req
171. Transplant... memories...?
Copy !req
172. That won't be Nina!
Copy !req
173. Okay, that's enough chit-chat.
Copy !req
174. Fullmetal Pipsqueak, why don't
you start the transmutation already?
Copy !req
175. First, repair the ceiling.
Copy !req
176. This is a problem.
We cannot use alchemy.
Copy !req
177. We have to ask someone else to do it.
Copy !req
178. You can't use alchemy?
Copy !req
179. So then, why do you need
the Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
180. Are you like Cornello?
Copy !req
181. Are you megalomaniacs,
with designs on controlling the world?
Copy !req
182. We want to be human.
Copy !req
183. That's all.
Copy !req
184. If you're really homunculi, then there
must be an alchemist who created you.
Copy !req
185. And if even he couldn't
create a Philosopher's Stone...
Copy !req
186. We weren't created
by anyone! We were born!
Copy !req
187. All we can do...
Copy !req
188. is dangle hints about
the Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
189. leading those who desire the
Stone to someday complete it.
Copy !req
190. Hold on. Then you're the ones who
taught Mugear how to use the red water...?
Copy !req
191. And informed Marcoh-san and Tucker
here in this laboratory of different things...?
Copy !req
192. And in the town of Liore, gave
Cornello that fake Philosopher's Stone...?
Copy !req
193. By doing so,
Copy !req
194. you fools who held interest in the
Philosopher's Stone would gather around.
Copy !req
195. And so, we found you.
Copy !req
196. And then I... ended up here...?
Copy !req
197. No! Me and Al came
this far for our own sakes!
Copy !req
198. Our long journey...
we've finally arrived...!
Copy !req
199. Because that's what we wanted.
Copy !req
200. We aren't being controlled by anyone!
Copy !req
201. It's an equivalent exchange.
Copy !req
202. We teach you the way to
refine the Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
203. you use the Stone,
and turn us into humans.
Copy !req
204. I can't trust you.
Copy !req
205. Do not misunderstand.
We are not asking you to do this.
Copy !req
206. This is an order.
Copy !req
207. After all the trouble it took
to bond this soul, by doing this...
Copy !req
208. H-Hey! Stop that! You stupid bitch!
Copy !req
209. Edward Elric, I...
Copy !req
210. It's simple.
Copy !req
211. Stop!
Copy !req
212. Please stop! Please, don't
do anything else to my brother!
Copy !req
213. Brother!
Copy !req
214. Brother, it's all right. After all, I'm just...
Copy !req
215. Suppose you were an imitation.
What would you do then?
Copy !req
216. Do you have any proof
that you ever really existed?
Copy !req
217. You keep quiet, Al!
Copy !req
218. Brother, stop! Are you serious?
Copy !req
219. What folly! I knew I should
have sent him back to God.
Copy !req
220. I'm sure the boy can do it.
Copy !req
221. Brother! Stop!
Copy !req
222. Brother, stop! Those people are human!
Copy !req
223. Yeah, that's right. So what?
Copy !req
224. I don't want to go back to my original
body if it means sacrificing other humans!
Copy !req
225. You were aware of
that from the beginning,
Copy !req
226. when you tried to bring your
mother back to life, weren't you?
Copy !req
227. Nothing else but a human life will do
when it comes to human transmutation.
Copy !req
228. For someone to live, they must take
from someone else's life, to some degree.
Copy !req
229. In order to accomplish something,
a sacrifice must be made.
Copy !req
230. All grown-ups know that.
Copy !req
231. But, we didn't—!
Copy !req
232. You didn't care if you are
cursed as dogs of the military?
Copy !req
233. That's what you decided when
you entered adult society, isn't it?
Copy !req
234. Don't go turning back into children,
now that it suits you.
Copy !req
235. So this is the truth behind truths, is it?
Copy !req
236. Brother!
Copy !req
237. Al... if we give up here, then we'll never...
Copy !req
238. I'm sorry... AI...
Copy !req
239. I just can't...
Copy !req
240. Fullmetal Alchemist!
Copy !req
241. Take your brother and go!
Copy !req
242. Don't be ridiculous!
Copy !req
243. The older brother
protects the younger one!
Copy !req
244. Al!
Copy !req
245. We cannot allow this to end just yet!
Copy !req
246. Oh, no...
Copy !req
247. Even with the unfinished
Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
248. with this much of it, the
caster's power will be augmented.
Copy !req
249. Ready to charge in
through the back entrance!
Copy !req
250. The surrounding area is also sealed off!
Copy !req
251. I repeat, secure the large suit
of armor and the boy with the braid.
Copy !req
252. Take anyone who appears to
be a civilian employee into custody.
Copy !req
253. And everyone else?
Copy !req
254. Mow them down!
Copy !req
255. Move in!
Copy !req
256. It couldn't be! The Crimson Alchemist“?
Copy !req
257. Edward-san!
Copy !req
258. The transmutation reaction
is increasing without bound!
Copy !req
259. Lt. Ross!
Copy !req
260. Mom...?
Copy !req
261. Good work.
Copy !req
262. We are even now crying out...
Copy !req
263. You squeeze your right hand,
as if to reassure yourself.
Copy !req
264. Go on, take those annoying
rules and dash them away!
Copy !req
265. If it comes down to having
to rest your wounded feet,
Copy !req
266. you've got to keep moving forward,
if only just a step!
Copy !req
267. We've pushed our way
through the twisting winds,
Copy !req
268. gotten beyond the cold sky,
Copy !req
269. but yet we still continue to wander on.
Copy !req
270. We always find ourselves crying out.
Copy !req
271. Just continuing to believe
is not the answer.
Copy !req
272. We must bare our weaknesses and wounds,
Copy !req
273. and continue to struggle,
or nothing will ever turn out!
Copy !req
274. Break on through to the
other side of the door!
Copy !req
275. To the other side of the door!
Copy !req
276. Fullmetal Alchemist...
Copy !req
277. Episode 23: "Heart of Steel."
Copy !req
278. Brother, what is it that you've been
wanting to say for so long, but couldn't?
Copy !req
279. It's not, by any chance...?
Copy !req
