Welcome home, Father!

I'm home, Selim.

Here.

- Go ahead and open it.
- Okay.

Thank you very much!

Happy 10th birthday, Selim.

Where are we?

- We're at you-know-who's place.
- "You-know-who"?

The one who is making you homunculi search
for the Philosopher's Stone?

That's not all.

The one who found us,
brought us together, and nurtured us.

You're being tricked,

all you homunculi
who want to become human.

Those who are being tricked are fools.

- What about you?
- Yeah, I know.

That person just wants
the Philosopher's Stone to use personally.

So what?

As long as I get to see humans suffer,
that's good enough for me.

Hey, now, your body is precious.

Don't do anything reckless.

Shoot.

How many people do you think Scar killed
to make you the Philosopher's Stone?

Of the soldiers that charged into Lior,
7,000 of them disappeared in an instant.

They're not dead. They're all right here.

Oh, yeah, and the guys
that died long ago in Ishbal

that were in Scar's right arm
are locked away inside there as well.

Awesome, awesome.

You've got thousands, tens of thousands
of lives there inside you.

We should put them to good use, huh?

I should have died back then.

And back then...

...and back then too.

So then...

Why am I still alive?

Brother?

Dad?

The Philosopher's Stone.

Those who obtain it are set free
from the Law of Equivalent Exchange.

There is no need to pay a price
in order to obtain something either.

We sought it and found it.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE

Edward!

What were you doing?

Sorry. Is this the place?

Yes. This is definitely the place.

Show me one more time.

Dad once came here to Central,
looking for a way to refine the red water.

He wound up going to a place
called the Fifth Laboratory,

and there, he met up
with a certain alchemist.

That person told him
that there was an indispensable element

that was necessary

to transmute the red water
all the way into a Philosopher's Stone,

and hinted to him that it was human lives.

He also showed him
where the real laboratory was.

The Fifth Laboratory
was nothing more than a secret entrance.

In fact, there was an even larger
human experimentation lab.

This does indeed appear to be the place
that we have been searching for.

I'm going alone.

But Al is in danger,
though we don't know what kind, right?

It's all right.

He's just gotten a little lost,
that's all.

Ed.

The reason why we showed you
what was in this journal

was not because we wanted you
to make a Philosopher's Stone.

I know.

I'm not going there
to create a Philosopher's Stone.

Believe me.

Come back to us now.

Come back to us alive!

According to Dad's journal,

you descend from the temple
of the ancient religion,

and go further and further underground,
and then suddenly...

There's another city,
tucked away beneath Central.

Dad said that judging by its style
of architecture,

it looked like the city
was nearly 400 years old.

There's a legend that says
that the city that was there,

where Central is now, vanished overnight.

Dad says he thought
that there might have been alchemists

that were performing
some kind of experiment,

and may have closed up
the whole city underground.

The people of the city were all sacrificed
to be used in their Philosopher's Stone.

And then, to hide the fact
that there weren't any people left,

they made the city itself disappear.

There's actually someone
who thought that up.

Is anyone there?

I know you're here!

You knew about everything,
didn't you, Pop?

No, Gluttony.

Be patient.

This girl's body is very important,
after all.

So pretty.

It's no wonder why Ed and Al
would like you.

They are his children.

Hey, what happened to Lust?

Yes, what could have happened to her?

That's right,
I need to get my dress ready.

We have to be pretty when we greet him.

Somebody's here.

My, that was quick.

- Where is he?
- Wrath.

- Where is he?
- What a pest.

- Where's the Philosopher's Stone?
- What's the meaning of this?

I thought he was keeping an eye on Edward.

That's what I thought I told him to do.

Please!
Give me the Philosopher's Stone, quick!

Wrath, you have to be a good boy
or I won't make you human.

There's no time for that!

Mama...

- Mama is going to be all gone!
- Mama?

He means Sloth.

Sloth is not your mama.
Homunculi do not have mothers.

Bring Mama back to life, please!

Don't talk like you're human.

Mama...

Mama! Mama!

Envy!

Please!

What do you think you can do
in the shape you're in?

What power!

It's only natural that Edward Elric
would use Automail.

This is fun!

Someone like you is a soldier?

That explains why no one has realized
who the Führer is!

It's still not too late for you.
Join my men.

We are ready to wage war on the north,
and on the west, and on the south.

The time has come for the continent
to be united.

Not interested.

In that case, die!

Your pupils will be following you soon,
as well.

What are you doing?
I am your superior officer!

You too?

Izumi!

Where's Ed?

By now, both brothers
should be at the place

that was written about in that journal.

You all believed in those boys?

Believing in and protecting children
is the job of an adult.

That's what someone once told me.

Rose?

Ed.

You finally came.

Now, that should teach you a lesson.

Don't start any fights with these guys.

You really don't ever learn
unless you get hurt.

Something wrong?

- I think I just figured something out.
- What?

Before Hughes died, he said something.

"What if everything was backwards?"

I never understood what he meant.

And you figured it out?

We've been thinking that the homunculi

were trying to create
a Philosopher's Stone.

But what if it was the other way around?

They wait until it is just barely
completed and then take it away.

Then, they eliminate everyone
who can prove it ever happened.

What's left is a rumor that says
that when you come near

the Philosopher's Stone,
you'll be destroyed.

In time, people become afraid
of the Philosopher's Stone...

So they will keep away from it?

But that would almost
make them good people, wouldn't it?

They're making sure people
stay out of danger, after all.

What's more,
no matter how dangerous it is,

I'll bet that people will still go on
looking for it.

I wonder how Edward
and his brother are doing.

I'm sure they're getting along fine.

That much is certain.

Pain that teaches a lesson, huh?

But God is the only one
who can teach that kind of lesson.

Rose, what are you doing here?

I've been waiting for you,
a long, long time.

Ed, I...

Rose...

Rose, was Al brought here?

What on earth is this place?

My baby.

My baby.

You should have danced with her.

She's been waiting for you
ever since we fled here.

You're despicable.

Lyra, you brought Rose here?

There's an old city
that only alchemists know of.

That's what Sensei Dante told me.

Speaking of Dante,
I still haven't heard how she was killed.

She was killed by that homunculus, Greed.

- I thought I told you.
- That's a lie.

A lie?

The transmutation circle
that was left in Dante's house

was one that could keep
a homunculus from moving.

There were bones there from the man
whom Greed was based on.

Greed should not have been able
to take action against Dante.

Are you sure?
Still, Dante definitely is dead.

But supposing that's the case,
there was nothing more than a shell

that her soul had sloughed off.

What are you saying?

Suppose there were people who used
the power of the Philosopher's Stone

to move from one body to another,
and who have lived for hundreds of years.

Back there, you made it look
like you were dead,

and then took over Lyra's body.

Isn't that right?

Ed, stop! I am--

That was close.

When did you see the gate, Lyra?

You transmuted
without a transmutation circle.

That's my answer, Dante!

When did you figure it out, Edward Elric?

Then it's true?

I've really come to like this body.

So then, what number is she?

Who knows? It hasn't been ten yet though.

After all, I have to use
the Philosopher's Stone each time.

Did you wipe out the residents
of this city

to make your Philosopher's Stone?

Yes, the same as with the nation
to the east,

which was destroyed overnight.

I should mention, though,
that I was not the one who made them.

Hohenheim of Light.

You shouldn't address
your own father like that.

So he has prolonged his life the same way?
For what reason?

Because we deserve to.

You covertly create
the Philosopher's Stone

just so you can use it
to extend your own lives.

You think you can get away with that?

Humans cannot use
the Philosopher's Stone.

Is that why, when people fail
to complete a Philosopher's Stone,

you obliterate everything,

and leave behind the story
that you will be destroyed

if you get too close
to the Philosopher's Stone?

Yes, to keep people from getting too close
to the Philosopher's Stone.

And for those who still get too close,

we take it from them at the last minute,
and use it carefully.

After all, there's no telling
what humans would do

if they were given
a Philosopher's Stone, right?

I do it to keep foolish people
from destroying the world.

You could say that I have extended my life
to protect the world,

to keep humans from doing anything foolish
with the Philosopher's Stone.

Cut the crap! You're human too!

Not anymore.

Lust!

Lust! Where's Lust?

What a shame.

I was looking forward
to entering this girl's body,

and making love to Hohenheim's son.

Rose's body is next, is it?

Yes.

I have obtained
a Philosopher's Stone again.

Al? Where is Al?

Where's Lust? What happened to Lust?

Try asking him, Gluttony.

Lust!

Lust. Where's Lust?

She's dead. And it was my fault.

- Lust is dead?
- Yeah.

Your pal Wrath sealed her up.

- Gluttony?
- Lust.

- Gluttony!
- Lust.

Here I come!

I knew it.

Repeatedly bonding just your soul

is not something
you can continue doing forever.

Equivalent exchange!

That's the backlash from performing
that idiocy over and over!

Equivalent exchange?

Do you still believe
in that childish theory?

It's no theory. It's the law of alchemy.

No, of the whole world!

You're the one who said so, aren't you?

That in order to obtain anything,
it requires something of equal value?

That's something that only a child
would say.

Like "make everything equal,"
or "that wouldn't be fair."

However, there's no such thing
as equivalent exchange.

That's absurd!

There is a cost required in order
for you to obtain something.

In that case, if you reverse it,
if you pay a price,

you are certain
to obtain something, right?

That's right.

That's why people put forth an effort
to pay the price.

But there's something strange about that.

After all, even if you pay the same price,

you can't always necessarily obtain
the same thing.

Well, that's...

There's the State Alchemist Exam, right?

In order to pass it,
many people spend time studying.

That's a cost.

But only a handful of people
actually pass it.

Everyone may start out the same
when they learn alchemy,

but huge differences arise
in their actual abilities.

And people's lives
are not all equal either.

If nobody does anything,
that baby is going to die, right?

Stop!

It really would be easy for me to kill it.

If I do, was the baby born
only in order to die?

The baby is paying the price
of desperately trying to survive.

Yet is death the only thing
it is going to get for that?

Elsewhere, there are people
that kill others,

and continue to go on living.

No matter how hard you may try to live
when it's time for you to die, you die.

When you compare that to people who
don't make any effort,

yet are afforded riches and power,
and live lives of happiness,

it's quite unfair, isn't it?

The world is quite cruel.

Which is why you might say
it's so beautiful.

Cut the sophistry!

My baby.

Equivalent exchange is an excuse
that the weak use to comfort themselves.

They tell themselves
that by paying a price,

it's supposed to make themselves happier.

This baby doesn't have to make
any excuses!

You're his son, all right.

What is this? What's going on here?

My eyes...

Who is this?

What's that?

Edward, what are you doing?
It's an air raid!

Hurry up!

Wait, Pop, what are you doing here?
What is this place?

"Pop"?

Edward, what are you talking about?

I thought you were at Dante's place.

What is this place?
What's happened to me?

My face, my hand?

Are you Edward, my son?

Of course, I am!

- What are you doing here?
- I don't know.

Let's go. They're coming.

- Who do you mean, "they"?
- Zeppelins!

Zeppelins?
