Original subtitles

The days going by are getting in the way

of the new morning I'd found at last

It wasn't "next" that I was headed toward,

but "bygone" that I was always chasing after

My incessant, merciless memories

don't seem likely to forgive me

It may not be long before my turmoil spills out

down cheeks wearied by my fumbling about

Will the rain ever stop?

I've been cold for such a long time

Why does the rain choose me?

Can I wrap myself up in it?

The rain is unrelenting,

and it's still coming down today,

but tenderly, under an extended umbrella,

we share our warmth as we huddle close

--It hurts! --Mama! --Save us!

--I'm hungry...! --It hurts!

--Big Brother...! --It hurts!

You say the multiple-body tests aren't done yet?

This is your test, and it was successful!

Undying, obedient, mighty soldiers

who will fight however we order them to...

The immortal legion is born!

Pa... pa...?

Yes. I am your father.

Okay now, listen very closely to what I'm about to say.

There are currently multiple renegade elements

who are trying to take this command center.

Papa...

You men are to--

--I-It hurts... --It hurts...

It hurts!

--It hurts...! --It hurts...!

--It hurts! --It hurts...!

That sure is a huge doorway.

The air here seems nasty somehow. Are you sure this is it?

Yeah.

It's just like Al told me.

Who is this?

Number 66, Barry the Chopper.

He was Slicer's partner.

Come on...!

Damn it, how do you open this?

Stand aside.

Oh, it opened...?

Order the Central soldiers that are fighting with Mustang

and the Briggs soldiers to pull back.

Whoa, are you going to shoot?

Your subordinates aren't all that disciplined, are they?

Pull them back now.

The Briggs soldiers will not hesitate to continue fighting them.

Do you want to lose every last soldier you have? Hmm?

Close the north, south, east, and west gates

of the Central Command Center!

Do not let a single one of Briggs' or Mustang's soldiers inside!

Ho... It seems you are not without some mettle, rotten though it may be.

Don't get too full of yourself, you bitch!

We will crush all of you Briggs Mountain monkeys...

Huh? Oh, over here.

No... interference. Told to... kill you...

What a bother.

Ha! Another seat opens up ahead of me!

You have my thanks, Homunculus!

Now I don't have to sully this sword,

passed down through the Armstrong family for generations,

with his sordid blood!

Ya bastard!

They don't die?!

It hurts...

Mama...

--So hungry... --It hurts...

--It hurts... --It hurts!

Big Brother!

It couldn't be...

These mannequins have souls possessing them?!

Damn it, they just keep coming! What are these things?!

How should I know?! And why won't they die?!

This is bad. If these things get outside...

Has something happened?

Beats me.

Word is that Colonel Mustang is leading a coup d'état.

Such a dangerous affair.

There, there, don't cry.

What do we do?

Why, you...!

Yikes! They're going to get out!

Sorry, I blocked up the exit.

Don't worry about it.

If you hadn't done it, I would have busted up the exit.

Now we can brace for the worst.

Okay then, now that our outside concerns are gone,

this is our chance to show our stuff!

--Mama! --It hurts!

It hurts...

Help me!

How could they create these things?!

We have to go through them if we're gonna get at that bearded bastard!

This sure is tough!

Mustang is fleeing in an ice cream truck!

Seal off the main roads!

It's disguised as a civilian truck,

but it's loaded with weapons and ammunition! Look sharp!

A-A bear! A bear with a Mohawk!

They cut out.

A bear with a Mohawk?

That's Captain Buccaneer, from the Northern forces.

Colonel, it looks like it's going to be hard to get into town.

You're right.

An ice cream truck, huh?

I wonder if the guys are doing all right.

It sure is aggravating not being able to fight with them.

Who knew that just sitting around waiting could make you so restless?

I've been hearing that sound ever since yesterday...

Hey, Alphonse, what's that sound?

Selim is playing around with my head.

Whatever he may be on the inside, he's still just a kid.

Stop him, Alphonse!

Stop him from making that sound!

That's dot-and-dash, a military communications code!

He's signaling this location--

Hey.

Thank you very much for coming to get me, Kimblee.

Good grief, please do not add on any more extra work for me.

Please, forgive me.

I won't let my guard down again.

W-What is this?! You tricked me, Envy!

I-I didn't lie to you...!

Immortality is further inside...!

You little twit!

I made it!!

I've come back to life!

Thanks for bringing me this far, little squirt!

What are soldiers doing in a place like this?

Are they here to serve notices of eviction?

What do we do now? We don't have anyplace else to go.

W-What is this? You don't suppose they caught wind of where we are?

Not good. Alphonse is...

H-Hold on, Doc!

What if they discover that you're Doctor Marcoh?

But we can't just sit here and watch.

Take it easy.

If you get taken prisoner or anything,

it's just going to make it that much harder on Alphonse!

We can't afford to move carelessly. Just sit still. Okay? Okay?

You're alone? I'd heard that Gluttony was here, too.

I ended up consuming him.

You ate him?

Your own kind?

He is not my kind. We are a collective.

We are both born of the same father.

All we've done is gone back to being one form.

Is that how it is?

Mr. Heinkel!

Ho... You're still alive, are you?

That's a Chimera for you. Your life force is strong.

Mr. Heinkel!

Damn it!

Let me go!

You're not getting away.

Why, you...

Stop your useless struggling.

Don't run away.

What?

Hmph, I should have known that wouldn't work.

That's far enough, General Armstrong.

We have orders to shoot you as a traitor!

Take aim!

Fire!

You idiot! Now is not the time to concentrate your men together!

Take at least a little damage, would you?

Caught you...

This time, I won't mess up...

Kill... the woman general...

Sister!!

Are you all right?!

Who do you think you're talking to, Alex?!

I'm so pleased you're all right!

By the way, what might that be?

A Homunculus. Bullets have no effect against him.

Cannon-class fire is just barely enough.

What?!

That is my specialty field, don't you know?

What do you say you leave this to your younger brother, Alex?

Come on, you monster!

What a bother...

Don't concern yourself... with me...

Get out of here... quickly...

--No way! --Don't talk back to me...

At this rate, we'll both be beaten...

If you leave me behind, you might be able to save yourself, at least...

I told you, nothing doing!

Now think about something useful instead, like staying alive!

You dumbass!

Look at our situation! We're facing Kimblee and Pride!

Now leave me here and get going...

Don't give up! I swear, I'll save you!

Darn it!

Move it, legs!

We can't afford to be beaten here!

Mr. Heinkel, grab on!

Don't give up!

You brothers really take the cake...

How is it that you can try to help someone else

when you're falling to pieces yourself?

I made a promise.

I promised Brother...

...that I wasn't going to let anyone else die, no matter what.

Right. I guess it was Kimblee who said that to survive was to win.

And as a result, I just remembered that I've got something nice here.

Mr. Heinkel, why do you have that?

I picked it up when Kimblee abandoned us at that mine up north.

A Philosopher's Stone... With this, we just might win. But...

Yeah, I know. These are made using human lives, right?

Your brother also told me that you'd rather not use one of these

to get your original bodies back. In that case...

In that case, use it not for your own sake, but to save the world.

I'm asking you, because even though they've turned into that stone,

you still recognize them as being people's lives.

I can tell...

No matter their appearance...

...they want to fight to protect what's important to them...

Let those guys fight, as well...

All right.

Give them hell...

Alphonse!

Let's fight, together.

What an annoying dust cloud. Shall I blow it away with a blast wave?

No. The two of them are still inside the dust cloud.

There is no way he can escape with those legs--

Well, well, far from running away...

Good!

Very good, Alphonse Elric!

Ever since that day,

I had made up my mind not to cry

Though the pain kept coming,

there was something I couldn't forgive

There's no going back after all these days

There's still nothing I can do

I'm losing yet another fragment

of my memories of you

I want to be stronger than I am today

so that my voice may someday reach you

I'll keep walking, and when the wind lets up,

I'll gaze up into the sky, searching for you

The light will shine after the day breaks

and there will be a rainbow

If fighting a person-to-person battle,

proceed according to your own beliefs.

Hesitating out of fear of being smeared with mud is the fool's choice.
