1. I'll show you how we do things at Briggs.
Copy !req
2. "How you do things at Briggs"?
Copy !req
3. That's right.
Copy !req
4. Lend us a hand, alchemist!
Copy !req
5. Brother!
Copy !req
6. You, too!
Copy !req
7. Hang on! We're...
Copy !req
8. You were threatened and forced to help.
Copy !req
9. No one can blame you for that, right?
Copy !req
10. Who's this?
Copy !req
11. He's our bro.
Copy !req
12. Okay. You're helping, too.
Copy !req
13. Pick up the pace! And don't spill any of it!
Copy !req
14. Buccaneer! Carry those to Gate 8!
Copy !req
15. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
16. Charge!
Copy !req
17. Shove him into the elevator!
Copy !req
18. What... a drag...
Copy !req
19. Push! Push!
Copy !req
20. All right! We can do this!
Copy !req
21. Turret, turn to starboard!
Copy !req
22. Yes, ma'am...
Copy !req
23. Miles, send him away!
Copy !req
24. Aye, ma'am!
Copy !req
25. All right! We did it!
Copy !req
26. Where... am I?
Copy !req
27. Now! Let him have it!
Copy !req
28. Good job!
Copy !req
29. Now what?
Copy !req
30. How do we throw him out of the gate?
Copy !req
31. This stuff smells.
Copy !req
32. Move, brat!
Copy !req
33. Hey! One more round!
Copy !req
34. We're out of ammo!
Copy !req
35. In that case...
Copy !req
36. That hurt...
Copy !req
37. All right!
Copy !req
38. It's north-blend fuel.
Copy !req
39. It vaporizes even in extremely low temperatures,
and with that, it absorbs body temperature in no time.
Copy !req
40. On top of that, we're in the middle of a blizzard.
Copy !req
41. He'll freeze all the way to his brain.
Copy !req
42. So cold...
Copy !req
43. My body...
Copy !req
44. ...won't... move...
Copy !req
45. What... a drag...
Copy !req
46. Hibernate until spring comes around, dimwit.
Copy !req
47. Buccaneer, haul these three down.
Copy !req
48. Roger!
Copy !req
49. What?!
Copy !req
50. W-W-Whoa!
Copy !req
51. W-W-Why?!
Copy !req
52. We helped you!
Copy !req
53. "You were forced to."
Copy !req
54. Wouldn't that be more convenient for you?
Copy !req
55. And I'm not letting you get away until the identity of that monster becomes clear, so be prepared.
Copy !req
56. It's cold.
Copy !req
57. "Clang"?
Copy !req
58. Morning, Brother.
Copy !req
59. Oh, that's right.
Copy !req
60. Yo! Did you have a nice nap?
Copy !req
61. I did, but...
Copy !req
62. So I hear you saved our men.
Copy !req
63. Thanks.
Copy !req
64. That'll be 100 cenz.
Copy !req
65. This wasn't out of gratitude?!
Copy !req
66. Umm... are there any news?
Copy !req
67. The advance unit went to check up on that hole.
Copy !req
68. They should be back any moment now.
Copy !req
69. Oh, and Major Miles is at the hospital.
Copy !req
70. Hospital?
Copy !req
71. He's there to see the guy who was injured while fighting Scar.
Copy !req
72. Scar is up north, too?
Copy !req
73. Oh, there you are.
Copy !req
74. He's awake.
Copy !req
75. Thanks for yesterday.
Copy !req
76. You saved our buddies' lives.
Copy !req
77. You guys really care about your buddies, don't you?
Copy !req
78. We at Briggs consider ourselves a monolith.
Copy !req
79. And since you saved our buddies, that makes you one, too.
Copy !req
80. Then can't you let your buddy out of-
Copy !req
81. No can do.
Copy !req
82. You guys really are a monolith...
Copy !req
83. Apparently, Scar's body wasn't found at the scene of the accident.
Copy !req
84. There's a possibility he's lurking in the area.
Copy !req
85. Yes.
Copy !req
86. Good lord...
Copy !req
87. First, the cat... and now we also need to search for Scar?
Copy !req
88. Understood.
Copy !req
89. Leave Scar to us and focus on getting better.
Copy !req
90. Wait a second.
Copy !req
91. I want you all to stay out of this.
Copy !req
92. The Ishbalan is my prey.
Copy !req
93. Unfortunately for you, we're not so soft as to let
a mass murderer do whatever he wants here at Briggs.
Copy !req
94. We believe in the survival of the fittest.
Copy !req
95. If you let your guard down for a second, you die. Understand?
Copy !req
96. Talk shit again, and you'll never be able to leave the hospital.
Copy !req
97. We at Briggs have been commanded to take care of you.
Copy !req
98. So stay put.
Copy !req
99. Just as I remember. Ishbalans are so interesting.
Copy !req
100. Are you doing all right, Kimblee?
Copy !req
101. You got here sooner than I'd expected, Lieutenant General Raven.
Copy !req
102. I rushed here after I heard about your injury.
Copy !req
103. You had me worried.
Copy !req
104. This is what you're worried about, right?
Copy !req
105. Very well.
Copy !req
106. Now, time to get to work.
Copy !req
107. But as you can see, I'm...
Copy !req
108. I brought a doctor well-versed in alchemy.
Copy !req
109. And we have the stone.
Copy !req
110. You'll be well in no time.
Copy !req
111. Eastern Alchemy is quite difficult.
Copy !req
112. Especially this whole concept of the "veins of the dragon".
Copy !req
113. It's to describe the power running through the earth.
Copy !req
114. Power running through the earth?
Copy !req
115. Simply put,
Copy !req
116. it's a power that goes back into the ground after erupting from the summit of a mountain, and enriches the earth.
Copy !req
117. Think of it as a river that runs through the earth.
Copy !req
118. By understanding that flow of strength, its entrances and exits...
Copy !req
119. You can apply it to practically anything.
Copy !req
120. When you say "anything", does this apply to the human body, as well?
Copy !req
121. Yes, it does!
Copy !req
122. For example... your hip!
Copy !req
123. My foot...
Copy !req
124. Or, right here!
Copy !req
125. Why did I feel that in my eyes after having my neck pressed?
Copy !req
126. You need to take care of your body, Dr. Marcoh.
Copy !req
127. The power in your body is stagnant in many places.
Copy !req
128. I-I see now...
Copy !req
129. So this is what makes long-distance transmutation possible.
Copy !req
130. So your alchemy doesn't use the veins of the dragon?
Copy !req
131. Yeah. We use the energy created by tectonic movements.
Copy !req
132. The immense amount of energy that is released by earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Copy !req
133. This country's alchemy uses that energy.
Copy !req
134. But that's not it.
Copy !req
135. Ever since I stepped foot in this country, I felt like something was out of place...
Copy !req
136. I finally realized what once I went underground in Central...
Copy !req
137. ...but this power, which flows beneath our feet...
Copy !req
138. ...feels more like it's coming from thousands of people squirming about...
Copy !req
139. ...rather than energy created by tectonic movement.
Copy !req
140. It's huge.
Copy !req
141. A platoon should be able to get through.
Copy !req
142. The tunnel goes on indefinitely, following a loose curve.
Copy !req
143. But there aren't any signs of people down there.
Copy !req
144. Take the horses down.
Copy !req
145. Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
146. And bring those three, too.
Copy !req
147. Wow... It really is huge.
Copy !req
148. I can't believe we let him break in without noticing all this was going on...
Copy !req
149. So this is the first time Briggs has been invaded?
Copy !req
150. Since I came here, yes.
Copy !req
151. But around twenty years ago, there was a case when our security guards were attacked during midwinter.
Copy !req
152. Apparently, a mysterious woman kept stealing food and supplies from them for an entire month.
Copy !req
153. I survived in Briggs in the winter for a month!
Copy !req
154. It has to be her...
Copy !req
155. I guess this is far enough.
Copy !req
156. Get off.
Copy !req
157. Now...
Copy !req
158. You don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on us down here.
Copy !req
159. Tell me everything you know.
Copy !req
160. I mean everything.
Copy !req
161. Don't hide anything.
Copy !req
162. When I asked you about the monster, you asked me to try to realize your situation, did you not?
Copy !req
163. More or less, you believed that I would realize your situation.
Copy !req
164. You could have been killed at any time in that situation, yet you still summoned those words.
Copy !req
165. So I figured you had something to protect,
even if it meant you'd lose your life doing so.
Copy !req
166. For example, a hostage.
Copy !req
167. I want you to cut the bullshit.
Copy !req
168. Tell me the truth.
Copy !req
169. We need your help.
Copy !req
170. Philosopher's stones... Homunculi...
Copy !req
171. King Bradley, and a man who is referred to as Father...
Copy !req
172. And the entire upper echelon is guilty....
Copy !req
173. So as we thought, people were being taken hostage.
Copy !req
174. A friend of yours who is an automail mechanic and Mustang's men...
Copy !req
175. We performed many joint drills with Eastern Headquarters, so I know Hawkeye and Havoc.
Copy !req
176. It would be a big loss to lose them.
Copy !req
177. I wish I could do something.
Copy !req
178. Umm... what about Colonel Mustang?
Copy !req
179. Oh... I don't really care about him.
Copy !req
180. It would actually be better for me if he just falls, so I have one less rival to worry about.
Copy !req
181. More importantly, we need to decide what to do now.
Copy !req
182. How do you alchemists see this underground path?
Copy !req
183. I don't think this tunnel was dug from Drachma.
Copy !req
184. This is only a hypothesis, but it seems as though this tunnel was dug to create a large circle.
Copy !req
185. A circle?
Copy !req
186. A circle governs the circulation of power in alchemy and is an important factor.
Copy !req
187. Now, for the equation...
Copy !req
188. Lieutenant Falman, do you know the major incidents within the country that resulted in a lot of bloodshed?
Copy !req
189. Bloodshed?
Copy !req
190. How would that...
Copy !req
191. The Riviere Incident in July of 1558.
Copy !req
192. Let's see... Riviere.
Copy !req
193. The civil war in Cameron in October of 1661.
Copy !req
194. The Soapman incident, February 1799.
Copy !req
195. That happened in Fisk.
Copy !req
196. The Wellsley Conflict, March 1811.
Copy !req
197. The First Southern Border Conflict occurred in
October of 1835, northwest of where South City is today.
Copy !req
198. The Second Southern Border Conflict happened in May of 1911, just south of Fortsett.
Copy !req
199. What about Pendleton to the west?
Copy !req
200. Many soldiers have died there in the battles against Creta, a neighboring nation.
Copy !req
201. And the riot in Lior, in 1914.
Copy !req
202. Severe casualties.
Copy !req
203. Wai-
Copy !req
204. A riot?! Why?!
Copy !req
205. Didn't we report the situation to Eastern Headquarters immediately after we exposed the fake priest?!
Copy !req
206. It was the Central army.
Copy !req
207. They came and made the Eastern army withdraw.
Copy !req
208. Lior turned into a mess after that.
Copy !req
209. No way...
Copy !req
210. Dammit!
Copy !req
211. Continue what you were doing earlier, Fullmetal.
Copy !req
212. I know.
Copy !req
213. Now we're going to connect the dots.
Copy !req
214. How could this be?!
Copy !req
215. It's almost identical to the transmutation circle we found under Research Laboratory 5!
Copy !req
216. A circle for creating a philosopher's stone, which uses human lives...
Copy !req
217. Just how many people will die with such a large transmutation circle?!
Copy !req
218. I once asked Envy if they were trying to create a philosopher's stone using this country.
Copy !req
219. But he laughed and told me I was close.
Copy !req
220. In the past, I told Edward that he'd surely be able to realize the real truth, which lies beyond the truth.
Copy !req
221. What I meant by the "truth" was that the stones are made of live humans.
Copy !req
222. And what I meant by "beyond the truth" is the existence of the ones behind it.
Copy !req
223. And the truth beyond the truth is the transmutation of a philosopher's stone using the entire nation.
Copy !req
224. But that's not where it ends.
Copy !req
225. We don't know what they're planning to do in the end.
Copy !req
226. We also don't know about immortality, which is what you're looking for.
Copy !req
227. So you mustn't long for a philosopher's stone.
Copy !req
228. We must decipher this research by combining my knowledge of alchemy and your knowledge of Eastern Alchemy.
Copy !req
229. Right.
Copy !req
230. The oldest one was in 1558...
Copy !req
231. Right after Amestris was founded.
Copy !req
232. Without even a declaration of war, Amestris invaded Riviere, which was once a neighboring country...
Copy !req
233. Hang on!
Copy !req
234. This is...
Copy !req
235. The military is involved in every one of these incidents.
Copy !req
236. The coup d'etat... the civil wars... and Lior, too.
Copy !req
237. The Central Army came out and poured oil on the flames.
Copy !req
238. Ever since this nation was created?!
Copy !req
239. Our country started out as a small nation, but we expanded by annexing the small countries around us.
Copy !req
240. So it was to create this circle?
Copy !req
241. So it wasn't their plan to use this country to do something, but they created this country to realize their task.
Copy !req
242. Our country...
Copy !req
243. So, Mr. Hughes...
Copy !req
244. Yeah. He saw the transmutation circle for the stone before he died.
Copy !req
245. Since he worked in the building they have strategy meetings in,
he had access to more resources than anyone else.
Copy !req
246. He was the first to realize there was something wrong with this country-
Copy !req
247. Dog of the military. State Alchemist!
Copy !req
248. Do you have any idea what this country is trying to do?!
Copy !req
249. Do you really think all this prosperity was created with the powers of humans only?
Copy !req
250. If you did know, you'd understand why I'm doing this!
Copy !req
251. I don't like this!
Copy !req
252. Looking at the pattern, the next area that will see bloodshed...
Copy !req
253. The only area left is Briggs!
Copy !req
254. What do those pigs at Central plan to do with my castle?!
Copy !req
255. Major General!
Copy !req
256. Please return to base at once.
Copy !req
257. Lieutenant General Raven has come to visit from Central.
Copy !req
258. So they're not even giving us time to think, huh?
Copy !req
259. Major General Armstrong.
Copy !req
260. There's something I'd like to ask of you.
Copy !req
261. Could you try and trick Lieutenant General Raven?
Copy !req
262. I'm sorry for making you wait, Lieutenant General Raven.
Copy !req
263. No, worry not.
Copy !req
264. It's my fault for coming here without advance notice.
Copy !req
265. Major General Armstrong will be back shortly.
Copy !req
266. Please, follow me-
Copy !req
267. Oh, that's right.
Copy !req
268. I've brought a guest with me.
Copy !req
269. Major Miles, do you mind giving him a tour of the fort?
Copy !req
270. Nice to meet you, Major Miles.
Copy !req
271. Winry's apple pie.
Copy !req
272. The thing I said I'd like to eat when I get my body back.
Copy !req
273. I guess we have more important things to think about now.
Copy !req
274. Don't worry, you'll be able to eat it someday.
Copy !req
275. After we get our bodies back and beat the crap out of those guys planning to use this country for their own goals.
Copy !req
276. Yeah.
Copy !req
277. Sorry for the mess, Lieutenant General.
Copy !req
278. We were attacked by the enemy.
Copy !req
279. Attacked?
Copy !req
280. We were able to drive it off,
but the thing was... what you'd call a monster.
Copy !req
281. What do you mean by monster?
Copy !req
282. It didn't die no matter what we did to it.
Copy !req
283. Oh, my.
Copy !req
284. That sounds troublesome.
Copy !req
285. Personally, I think it's a biological weapon from Drachma, but the Elric Brothers...
Copy !req
286. We've taken in the Fullmetal Alchemist and his younger brother by chance.
Copy !req
287. It seems as though they know something about the monster but won't say anything.
Copy !req
288. It could be a disaster if a state alchemist who works with the Führer President is a Drachman spy, so we've arrested them.
Copy !req
289. Would you like to see them?
Copy !req
290. I guess so.
Copy !req
291. They really won't say anything?
Copy !req
292. Yes.
Copy !req
293. They also claim they came here to research organic transmutation or something.
Copy !req
294. They're being quite ambiguous. I couldn't doubt them more.
Copy !req
295. I thought about torturing it out of them, but I'm technically a woman, too.
Copy !req
296. I couldn't lay a finger on a child like that.
Copy !req
297. My heart would be crushed...
Copy !req
298. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
299. That queen's made of ice to the core.
Copy !req
300. So even you, who holds the title of "The Northern Wall of Briggs", has a soft spot for children, huh?
Copy !req
301. It wouldn't be odd to have a child or two at my age,
but I'm totally behind in those affairs.
Copy !req
302. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
303. You must be much sought after by the men.
Copy !req
304. No, no.
Copy !req
305. It's such a sad experience to age, isn't it?
Copy !req
306. I'm absolutely horrified of aging.
Copy !req
307. That biological weapon from Drachma had a wonderful body.
Copy !req
308. An immortal body.
Copy !req
309. Isn't it like a dream?
Copy !req
310. What if I were to tell you that it may not be long before it isn't just a dream?
Copy !req
311. Say, Major General...
Copy !req
312. Are you interested in a perfect, immortal army?
Copy !req
313. He fell for it!
Copy !req
314. "Obey the ones with power".
Copy !req
315. That's the true meaning of the law of the jungle.
Copy !req
316. If you don't wish to be bound by that, obtain greater power.
Copy !req
317. Because there's always times one must fight power with power.
Copy !req
318. Next time, Fullmetal Alchemist:
Copy !req
319. Episode 36, Family Portrait.
Copy !req
320. Men set out on journeys with determination in their hearts.
Copy !req
