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

--What in the world is going on? --What is happening?

--I don't know. --Rumor has it that Colonel Mustang is up to something.

--Are you sure? --It's just what I heard.

Hey, the radio! Turn on the radio!

To Radio Capital!

Radio Capital?

Yeah. Something amazing is going on.

That station is so boring.

Just do it! Hurry, before the military shuts down their broadcast!

...is that what you are saying, Mrs. Bradley?

Mrs. Bradley?

Yes, the Central forces attempted to kill me.

You mean, they pointed guns at your head,

and demonstrated intent to shoot you?

That is right.

They said, "You're free to shoot her,

along with Colonel Mustang's men."

Fuhrer Bradley has gone east, to conduct an inspection,

and is not currently in Central.

Yes.

So then, somebody centrally located was waiting

for His Excellency to leave so they could stage a coup d'état?

That I do not know.

Is that really Mrs. Bradley?

--I've heard her voice before. It's really her. --Be that as it may, Mrs. Bradley, under the circumstances,

it's a good thing your son is somewhere other than Central.

I have not been able to contact my son.

You haven't?! That's just...

You're kidding!

Poor thing.

I wonder if little Selim is all right.

--Please try to keep your composure, Mrs. Bradley. --A coup d'état?

--Thank goodness that you, at least, are safe. --Can anyone besides Bradley run this country?

Truly, if Colonel Mustang had not saved me,

I don't know what would have become of me.

I see, so Colonel Mustang saw this coup d'état coming?

Mustang, huh?

So then, could you please tell us...

...the exact circumstances of your rescue?

Yes.

You haven't told her...

--When the guns were pointed at me, --...that Selim is a Homunculus yet?

--1 closed my eyes, and prayed to God. --We couldn't tell her. She doesn't even

--When I heard the gunshots, I thought it was all over for me. --know that the Fuhrer is missing.

But then...

The madam hasn't been told this yet,

but the truth is, yesterday,

the train that the Fuhrer was aboard in the east

was blown up by someone.

His Excellency is now missing.

Mrs. Bradley!

Are you all right?!

M-Mrs. Bradley does not appear to be feeling well right now,

being overwhelmed by all that is happening.

Still, what do you mean His Excellency, the Fuhrer, is missing?

Colonel Mustang has harbored suspicions about the senior staff

since before all this,

and suspected they would do something.

Now, with the bombing of the Fuhrer's train,

and permission being given to fire on Mrs. Bradley,

matters have become clear.

There is a faction among the senior staff

that is attempting to eliminate His Excellency!

You fool!

Shut down that broadcast immediately!

You know what will happen if you don't do so!

It doesn't matter what you say, I can't.

They have taken hostages, and they're pointing guns at us, too.

We can't move a muscle here.

There are so many perpetrators here, we can't do anything.

Give me Mustang! I will speak to him directly!

Eh? The colonel?

Don't shoot me!

Forgive me, I beg you!

So, how was 1?

Perfect.

All right, don't stop broadcasting!

Yes, sir!

I'm not about to let this story get away from us!

Now, continuing on,

here is a message from one of Colonel Mustang's men,

--who helped to rescue Mrs. Bradley. --So Colonel Mustang isn't staging a coup d'état?

Those of us who support Colonel Mustang may not be all that powerful...

--That voice... --...but we will carry on His Excellency,

the Fuhrer's will, and we are prepared to use all our strength

to put down those cowardly men, in the name of justice!

Thank you very much. Now then, I would like to sum up

--all the events that have transpired up to now... --Oh, Mustang. You're taking advantage of Bradley being gone,

and using the Fuhrer's influence any way that you like, huh?

And in the name of justice, at that.

I sure do hope the people will buy it.

You sure sounded like a pro.

And way to work in an ambiguous, frivolous little word like "justice."

It's all right. Everyone loves justice, after all.

Yeah. Whoever invokes it first comes out on top.

What exactly is going on?

Apparently, this isn't the doing of Mustang and company.

Are you sure?

Roy Mustang is telling the truth.

We just got here from the east,

and there's a big fuss back there about the Fuhrer's train being bombed.

You folks in Central don't know about that yet?

The nation's top man is missing,

so why don't its citizens know anything about it?!

Then, it really is a coup d'état?

Who's behind this?!

If Radio Capital gets raided, and Mrs. Bradley were to die,

then there's no doubt, the senior staff are behind this.

Selim! What about Selim?!

I'm sure he's been taken prisoner.

I sure hope he hasn't been killed.

What is the garrison doing?!

Sir, the enemy apparently possess far more weapons than expected,

and are putting up a hard fight.

Weapons? There's only a limited amount they can carry, right?

Transmission from the garrison!

Go ahead, sir.

You're late checking in! What's happening there? Over!

T-The Briggs guys even have one of those--

H-Hey!

I-Is everything all right?

This gate isn't going to fall to them, right?

Of course not!

Sheesh, ridiculous!

As long as they don't bring in a tank or something, we're...

What?!

Would it be okay if I lend you a hand... Full metal?

Colonel...

It would appear that you have some more new friends.

Scar...?

You know, this place takes me back, Lieutenant.

I remember seeing your tearful face here.

I'd like to see those frank, honest tears again sometime.

I thought you hated moisture. It renders you useless.

Save the chit-chat for later! Fight!

Don't you order me around.

Acknowledged. We just need to beat these white guys, right?

That won't work, Lieutenant!

You can't beat these guys using bullets!

Not again! It's all we've been dealing with!

Are they Homunculi?

No, they aren't self-repairing.

But they won't die, either. Is it the power of the Philosopher's Stone?

They are the enemy, Full metal.

Why, you...! Stop scampering around!

It would seem that he doesn't want me to go this way.

The presence is stronger that way, too. I knew it!

May?!

Envy!

You guys...

Fool! Why didn't you go back to your home country?!

But... I mean... I mean...

Never mind! Don't cry!

I'm sorry, Mr. Scar!

Geez, this is why you humans turn my stomach.

I have to admit, though, you've really done a number here.

The Full metal Alchemist, the Flame Alchemist, not to mention Scar.

And the filthy Chimeras who I owe for up north are here, with you.

Now then, which one of you will I deal with first?

You're Envy, are you?

The Homunculus who can change his shape, as I recall.

Eh, so you know. Pleased to meet you, Colonel Mustang.

Huh?

Are you sure about this, Scar? This is one of the State Alchemists

that turned Ishval into such a hellhole.

You're right.

Huh? You're acting chummy?! You're no fun.

Let me see you guys act more rumbly-grumbly.

It's so much more fun when you maggots are shouting at each other.

We don't have time to entertain your boorish interests.

Boorish?! Then let me ask you this:

You humans love watching others' misfortune,

and watching fools run around in circles, don't you?

Isn't that why you're always at war with each other?

Hmm, indeed,

it is delightful to watch fools get worked up into a frenzy.

And watching fools who are Homunculi

go into a frenzy is especially enjoyable.

I have answered your question.

Now, why don't you answer mine?

Who was it that killed Maes Hughes?

Answer me, Homunculus.

It was Maria Ross. The one you burned to death.

No.

It wasn't her.

Huh?

Then you burned an innocent girl alive!

Nice work! You're awful! So, how did you break it to her family?

Did you cry when you apologized?

Or did you keep quiet because you were too afraid of them getting mad at you?

Would you quit working your mouth, you idiot?

I have become sick and tired of asking you Homunculi this question.

Now tell me the truth, right now, you idiot!

Who was it that killed Hughes?

Congratulations, Colonel Mustang,

you've finally arrived at your answer.

I doubt a moron like you would be able to take Hughes.

Moron?

A moron...

...is what you call someone...

...like Hughes, for falling for a trick like this!

Your face has gone pale!

I like that expression!

The look on Hughes' face when I killed him was terrific, too!

The look on his face!

The despair of being shot dead by someone with his beloved wife's face!

Ah, it was terrific!

That settles it.

You're the one who killed Hughes. All I needed to know was that fact.

You don't have to say anything else, Envy.

I'll start by burning out the base of your tongue!

Scar, Full metal, let me take this one.

He is my quarry.

A-All right. Then, we'll leave this to you, and go on ahead.

Who says you're allowed to go?

I have to pay you back in full for what you did up north--

Are you sure you can afford to talk to anyone else while facing me?

I would say that nimble tongue of yours has gotten nice and greasy.

It burns so well, doesn't it, Envy?

Lieutenant, are you sure just the two of you will be...

Go on, Edward.

We can manage.

--But... --Go, Edward Elric!

You have something else you have to do.

Come on, let's go, Ed.

Hold on...!

Damn it!

The colonel will be fine.

That Homunculus will be a pushover for him.

That's not what I'm worried about.

Huh? What do you mean?

Yes... you've been pursuing the one who killed Hughes for a long time.

Such beautiful friendship.

Stay back, Lieutenant.

In deference to your beautiful friendship, I will fight you all-out.

I can't really pull my punches in this body,

so it's not my fault what might hap--

How does it feel, having the fluid inside your eyeballs boil?

I'll bet it hurts beyond imagination.

Damn you...

I'm surprised you'd intentionally make my target bigger for me.

Did you think being bigger would let you beat me? Idiot!

Get up, monster! Hurry and regenerate yourself.

I'm going to let you relive that pain over and over until you die.

Yeah, that's right. He's the man who burned Lust to death.

--Hold it! --Colonel!

Lieutenant, you wait here!

I'm going to take care of him myself!

This way. It's probably this way.

Ugh, creepy.

These things are like veins.

It almost feels like I've been having heartburn for this past while.

I'll bet you are.

There's a powerful mass of chi deeper in.

Mass of chi?

If I said it feels like an incredible number of people writhing,

would that make sense to you?

I don't know what it is, but I do know that it feels creepy.

I sure wouldn't want to run into the enemy here.

Scar, do you have a minute?

Is this about the Flame Alchemist?

Having once lost myself,

burning in the flames of revenge, I understand all too well.

The way he's headed,

he's going to burn his own heart up in the flames of hatred.

Where are you, Envy?!

Damn!

If you don't come out, I'm gonna hit you with an even bigger explosion!

Yo, Roy...

You're only human! You'll get mixed up!

You'd burn up your best friend without any hesitation?!

Hughes is dead. He's gone.

Your actions have only poured more fuel on the fire.

Damn it! Don't get so carried away!

Not again! My eyes! My eyes!

You fool. Did you think I wouldn't use heavy firepower right next to me?

Unfortunately for you, I can do pinpoint aiming.

Don't you sell my technique short!

Colonel, I'm disobeying your order!

He got away again, huh?

You've disobeyed orders, Lieutenant.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't just sit there and wait.

Where's Envy?

I lost sight of him. It's almost like a maze in here.

Do not leave my side, Lieutenant.

Now that you're here, you're going to help me out.

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

In the long time that passes from the moment of birth,

a person becomes a person.

In time, what accumulates becomes a complete, robust self.

However...

Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Full metal Alchemist,

Episode 54: "Beyond the Inferno."

Re-examine what is in your heart.
