1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,375
The power of one person
does not amount to much.

2
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:26,727
As such, I will do all I can,

3
00:00:28,062 --> 00:00:29,313
however little that may be,

4
00:00:30,314 --> 00:00:32,191
to protect those who are dear to me.

5
00:00:35,986 --> 00:00:38,572
Those below me
will protect those below them.

6
00:00:38,656 --> 00:00:42,451
We tiny humans
should be able to do that much, at least.

7
00:00:42,534 --> 00:00:44,203
Geometric progression, huh?

8
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:47,289
Which means...

9
00:00:47,373 --> 00:00:49,917
in order for you
to protect the whole country,

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,920
you'll have to be standing
at the top of the pyramid.

11
00:00:55,089 --> 00:00:58,509
I'll bet it feels awfully good
to be there, Hughes.

12
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:03,430
But I won't be able to climb
that high all by myself.

13
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:06,433
I'm sure of that much.

14
00:01:06,517 --> 00:01:08,560
What are you swaggering on about?

15
00:01:10,646 --> 00:01:14,316
This could be interesting.
I'll take a piece of that action.

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,904
I want to see how your naive idealism
changes this country.

17
00:01:25,077 --> 00:01:27,663
Colonel... Colonel.

18
00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:33,168
If you're tired, why don't you go
to the nap room?

19
00:01:34,336 --> 00:01:35,879
Sorry.

20
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:38,048
I want to gather up
all the unfinished paperwork

21
00:01:38,132 --> 00:01:41,218
before we transfer to Central.

22
00:01:41,301 --> 00:01:43,429
I haven't slept much lately.

23
00:01:43,512 --> 00:01:45,514
You seemed to be having a dream.

24
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:49,893
Oh, it was just
an insignificant old memory.

25
00:03:23,654 --> 00:03:27,574
So, I don't remember anything
after this one kicked me.

26
00:03:27,658 --> 00:03:31,286
Guardians who were only souls,
a precious sacrifice,

27
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:33,247
and him letting you live...

28
00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:37,167
Uroboros tattoos, a Philosopher's Stone
transmutation circle,

29
00:03:37,251 --> 00:03:41,839
and Mr. Marcoh saying
they used Stones in Ishval...

30
00:03:41,922 --> 00:03:45,467
There are too many mysteries here
for just a simple experiment.

31
00:03:45,551 --> 00:03:50,264
And there's no way to investigate any
what with the lab being a pile of rubble.

32
00:03:50,347 --> 00:03:52,266
"Hmm..."

33
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,271
It sounds like they're talking
about something pretty thorny.

34
00:03:57,354 --> 00:04:00,440
I don't want to stick my nose
into anything any more dangerous,

35
00:04:00,524 --> 00:04:01,817
so I'm not listening!

36
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:04,236
Ah, you there,

37
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,240
is this where
the Fullmetal Alchemist's room is?

38
00:04:08,323 --> 00:04:09,908
Yes, this is...

39
00:04:11,326 --> 00:04:13,996
If I root around in the criminal lists
at the court-martial office,

40
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:16,748
something might turn up.

41
00:04:16,832 --> 00:04:20,669
I shall look into those who
were working under Dr. Marcoh

42
00:04:20,752 --> 00:04:23,505
in researching the Stone.

43
00:04:26,884 --> 00:04:28,468
Excuse me.

44
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:35,309
Fuhrer King Bradley!

45
00:04:35,392 --> 00:04:38,854
Ah, keep your voice down. As you were.

46
00:04:38,937 --> 00:04:41,356
Your Excellency, what are you doing here?

47
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,818
What, you ask? Visiting a sick friend.

48
00:04:44,902 --> 00:04:46,445
Do you like melons?

49
00:04:46,528 --> 00:04:48,655
Yeah, thanks.

50
00:04:48,739 --> 00:04:49,740
I mean...

51
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:54,036
I understand you've been checking up
on the senior staff members,

52
00:04:54,119 --> 00:04:56,205
Major Armstrong.

53
00:04:56,288 --> 00:05:00,000
Sir? Well, sir, how did you...?

54
00:05:00,083 --> 00:05:02,252
Don't underestimate
my information network.

55
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:06,506
And Edward Elric...

56
00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:09,343
the Philosopher's Stone?

57
00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:15,224
What have you found out?
Depending on how much you've learned.

58
00:05:25,567 --> 00:05:27,152
Just kidding!

59
00:05:27,236 --> 00:05:29,947
- You don't have to be so defensive!
- Huh?

60
00:05:31,114 --> 00:05:35,327
I know that there is some unrest
among the ranks.

61
00:05:35,410 --> 00:05:38,372
I think that something
must be done about it.

62
00:05:38,455 --> 00:05:40,290
Ah, that's just...

63
00:05:40,374 --> 00:05:44,419
A list of those who were researching
the Philosopher's Stone.

64
00:05:44,503 --> 00:05:49,049
- All of these men have gone missing.
- Sir?

65
00:05:49,132 --> 00:05:52,928
They disappeared several days
before the Fifth Laboratory collapsed.

66
00:05:53,011 --> 00:05:55,847
The enemy is always a step ahead of us.

67
00:05:55,931 --> 00:05:58,475
And even with my information network,

68
00:05:58,558 --> 00:06:02,104
as it currently stands,
I have no handle on the enemy's size,

69
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:05,232
their objectives,
or how far they've penetrated us.

70
00:06:06,274 --> 00:06:10,237
In other words,
it's quite dangerous to be poking around.

71
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,571
Yes.

72
00:06:11,655 --> 00:06:16,702
Lt. Colonel Hughes,
Major Armstrong, Elric brothers,

73
00:06:16,785 --> 00:06:19,871
I've determined you
to be men that I can trust.

74
00:06:20,998 --> 00:06:23,458
I will not permit you to stick your noses

75
00:06:23,542 --> 00:06:26,670
any further into this matter,
nor speak of it to anyone!

76
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:30,007
Under the present circumstances,
when we can't tell friend from foe,

77
00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:31,883
you cannot trust anyone!

78
00:06:33,135 --> 00:06:37,347
Consider everyone in the military
to be the enemy, and act discreetly!

79
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:38,598
However...

80
00:06:39,725 --> 00:06:43,270
when the time comes,
I will have much work for you to do,

81
00:06:43,353 --> 00:06:44,479
so see that you are ready.

82
00:06:44,563 --> 00:06:46,106
Yes, sir!

83
00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:49,484
Excellency!
Where is His Excellency, the Fuhrer?

84
00:06:49,568 --> 00:06:53,113
Uh-oh, my pesky subordinates
have come after me.

85
00:06:55,657 --> 00:06:58,660
I secretly slipped out of work, you see.

86
00:06:58,744 --> 00:07:00,454
Well, farewell!

87
00:07:05,375 --> 00:07:07,419
Ed! Huh?

88
00:07:08,795 --> 00:07:11,006
What's wrong, everyone?

89
00:07:11,089 --> 00:07:14,343
Nothing, a storm just passed through.

90
00:07:17,054 --> 00:07:19,681
I bought the tickets you asked me to.

91
00:07:19,765 --> 00:07:21,600
The train tomorrow at noon is okay, right?

92
00:07:21,683 --> 00:07:23,977
Yeah. Thank you.

93
00:07:24,061 --> 00:07:28,315
My, you sure are on the go.
You haven't even completely healed.

94
00:07:28,398 --> 00:07:30,192
You expect me to stay

95
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:32,736
in this disinfectant-reeking place
forever?

96
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:35,989
Where are you going now? Dublith?

97
00:07:36,073 --> 00:07:39,493
Yeah. I talked it over with Al,

98
00:07:39,576 --> 00:07:42,287
and we're going to go see our teacher.

99
00:07:44,164 --> 00:07:45,749
I sure am scared, Brother!

100
00:07:45,832 --> 00:07:48,794
I'm sure she's gonna kill us!

101
00:07:48,877 --> 00:07:52,964
Don't wimp out, little brother!
I'm scared too!

102
00:07:53,048 --> 00:07:55,592
Who is this teacher of yours?

103
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:59,262
Still quite a distance beyond Dublith.

104
00:07:59,346 --> 00:08:00,430
Whereabouts?

105
00:08:00,514 --> 00:08:04,184
Let's see, here.
Right in the middle of the southern area.

106
00:08:09,648 --> 00:08:11,274
What?

107
00:08:11,358 --> 00:08:13,693
Here! Here! Just before Dublith!

108
00:08:15,237 --> 00:08:18,031
The holy land of automail, Rush Valley!

109
00:08:18,115 --> 00:08:19,699
I've always wanted to go there!

110
00:08:19,783 --> 00:08:23,078
Take me! Take me! Take me!

111
00:08:23,161 --> 00:08:25,288
Go there on your own.

112
00:08:25,372 --> 00:08:28,875
- But who will pay my traveling expenses?
- Are you trying to mooch off of me?

113
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,087
Now, now, where's the harm?
It's on our way, and all.

114
00:08:32,170 --> 00:08:35,090
- If you insist.
- Hooray!

115
00:08:37,175 --> 00:08:38,844
I'll go call Grandma!

116
00:08:42,764 --> 00:08:44,391
She'd make a fine wife.

117
00:08:44,474 --> 00:08:45,600
Don't tell me!

118
00:08:45,684 --> 00:08:50,021
Though, not as fine as my own wife!

119
00:08:50,105 --> 00:08:53,024
Okay, Papa's heading out now!

120
00:08:53,108 --> 00:08:56,153
Papa, are you coming home early today?

121
00:08:56,236 --> 00:09:00,657
Hmm, I'm not sure.
Papa has a lot of work to do.

122
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:03,869
But I'll come home as soon as I can.

123
00:09:03,952 --> 00:09:09,082
- That tickles!
- You're going to be late.

124
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:11,877
Winry, you're leaving today, right?

125
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,547
I won't be able to come see you off,
so take care.

126
00:09:16,548 --> 00:09:20,552
Mr. Hughes, thanks so much for everything.

127
00:09:20,635 --> 00:09:24,639
Whenever you're in Central,
be sure to come visit us.

128
00:09:24,723 --> 00:09:26,600
Consider our home as your home.

129
00:09:26,683 --> 00:09:29,895
- Also, give my regards to the guys, okay?
- Right.

130
00:09:29,978 --> 00:09:32,439
Papa, work hard!

131
00:09:32,522 --> 00:09:34,107
Come home safe!

132
00:09:44,201 --> 00:09:47,496
What made you suddenly decide
to go see your teacher?

133
00:09:47,579 --> 00:09:49,748
There are two reasons.

134
00:09:49,831 --> 00:09:52,667
Lately,
we've been on a real losing streak.

135
00:09:52,751 --> 00:09:55,754
Huh? You're going there
because you want to improve your fighting?

136
00:09:55,837 --> 00:09:57,631
What are you, fighting fools?

137
00:09:57,714 --> 00:10:01,009
No, dumb-ass, it's not as simple as that!

138
00:10:01,092 --> 00:10:04,638
It's not just the fighting,
it's what's inside us, you might say.

139
00:10:04,721 --> 00:10:06,973
- Right?
- Yeah.

140
00:10:07,057 --> 00:10:09,267
Anyhow, we feel like
if we go see our teacher,

141
00:10:09,351 --> 00:10:11,603
it will help to strengthen us somehow.

142
00:10:11,686 --> 00:10:13,939
I want to get even stronger.

143
00:10:17,859 --> 00:10:19,945
What's the second reason?

144
00:10:20,028 --> 00:10:22,697
To ask our teacher
about the Philosopher's Stone.

145
00:10:22,781 --> 00:10:26,284
The truth within the truth.

146
00:10:26,368 --> 00:10:28,995
We never did end up
figuring out what it was.

147
00:10:29,079 --> 00:10:31,581
Our teacher might know something about it

148
00:10:31,665 --> 00:10:35,377
We can't afford
to be concerned about appearances.

149
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:39,506
We have to be ready
for Teacher to kill us, and ask her...

150
00:10:39,589 --> 00:10:43,468
ask her... ask her...

151
00:10:43,552 --> 00:10:46,137
Our lives sure have been short, huh?

152
00:10:46,221 --> 00:10:49,516
I wish I could have at least found
a girlfriend.

153
00:10:49,599 --> 00:10:51,726
What kind of teacher do you have?

154
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:54,854
The Liore insurgency?

155
00:10:54,938 --> 00:10:58,316
Yes, where that new religion
"Letoism" or whatever

156
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,610
was suckering the people.

157
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:02,821
Sounds like it's finally under control.

158
00:11:04,656 --> 00:11:06,408
Between Ishval and these insurgencies,

159
00:11:06,491 --> 00:11:08,618
the eastern area
is having a rough time of it, huh?

160
00:11:08,702 --> 00:11:10,203
It's not just the eastern area.

161
00:11:10,287 --> 00:11:14,124
There are uprisings and border
skirmishes in the north and west too.

162
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,960
The bodies are piling up all over,
are they?

163
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:19,462
The government might just
be overthrown before too long.

164
00:11:26,219 --> 00:11:28,054
Colonel, where are you going?

165
00:11:28,138 --> 00:11:29,556
I'm running over to the archive room.

166
00:11:34,686 --> 00:11:36,104
Liore...

167
00:11:36,187 --> 00:11:39,691
Uprisings all over...
The Philosopher's Stone...

168
00:11:39,774 --> 00:11:41,526
Ingredients are humans...

169
00:11:41,609 --> 00:11:45,530
What we did in Ishval...

170
00:11:45,613 --> 00:11:51,911
Hey, now,
who was it that came up with this?

171
00:11:51,995 --> 00:11:53,705
I have to tell the Fuhrer, quickly...

172
00:11:56,416 --> 00:11:59,502
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Lt. Colonel Hughes.

173
00:11:59,586 --> 00:12:03,840
Or perhaps I should say, "farewell."

174
00:12:14,976 --> 00:12:17,103
Cool tattoo you've got there.

175
00:12:17,187 --> 00:12:19,898
You've learned too much,
Lt. Colonel Hughes.

176
00:12:36,748 --> 00:12:37,665
Damn!

177
00:12:44,881 --> 00:12:47,634
"Damn"? That's what I was going to say.

178
00:12:51,012 --> 00:12:52,847
Oh, my, Lt. Colonel Hughes.

179
00:12:52,931 --> 00:12:55,100
Here to call and brag
about your family some more...

180
00:12:55,183 --> 00:12:56,935
Colonel, you're bleeding!

181
00:12:57,018 --> 00:12:59,938
It's nothing! I need the phone!

182
00:13:01,356 --> 00:13:03,316
The prefectural office...

183
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:13,076
Sorry to have bothered you.

184
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:14,494
Eh? Colonel!

185
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:17,288
Yes, Eastern Command Center.

186
00:13:17,372 --> 00:13:20,250
Put me through to Colonel Roy Mustang.

187
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:23,336
We have a rule against connecting anyone
from an outside line.

188
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:25,588
This is Lt. Colonel Hughes, in Central!

189
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:27,465
I'm calling from outside
because it's an emergency!

190
00:13:27,549 --> 00:13:28,758
Your code, please.

191
00:13:28,842 --> 00:13:31,678
Ah, geez, what a pain!

192
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:37,892
Uncle, Sugar, Oliver, Eight, Zero, Zero!

193
00:13:37,976 --> 00:13:40,687
Code verified. Just a moment, please.

194
00:13:40,770 --> 00:13:43,189
Hurry it up! The military is in trouble!

195
00:13:48,862 --> 00:13:52,031
Would you mind putting
the receiver down, Lt. Colonel?

196
00:13:53,741 --> 00:13:55,410
Come on, put it down.

197
00:13:56,703 --> 00:13:58,580
Lieutenant Ross?

198
00:13:58,663 --> 00:14:00,790
No, it isn't. Who are you?

199
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:04,627
I'm 2nd Lieutenant Maria Ross.
Have you forgotten?

200
00:14:04,711 --> 00:14:06,963
No, you're not.

201
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:11,134
Lieutenant Ross has a mole
under her left eye!

202
00:14:12,135 --> 00:14:16,055
Oh, is that right? How careless of me.

203
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:19,934
Is this better?

204
00:14:21,770 --> 00:14:25,565
What is this?
It's like I'm dreaming or something.

205
00:14:25,648 --> 00:14:29,486
It's awfully unfortunate for you
that your mind works so fast,

206
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:30,570
Lt. Colonel Hughes.

207
00:14:30,653 --> 00:14:33,448
Hey, now, have a heart.

208
00:14:33,531 --> 00:14:37,827
I have a wife and daughter
waiting for me at home.

209
00:14:37,911 --> 00:14:39,954
I can't go dying here!

210
00:14:43,541 --> 00:14:46,336
Nice rendering, huh?

211
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:48,296
You son of a bitch!

212
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,140
Call from Lt. Colonel Hughes
in Central, on a public line.

213
00:14:59,224 --> 00:15:01,851
Again? Put him through.

214
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:04,813
I'm here. If you're bragging
about your daughter, I'm not listening.

215
00:15:08,191 --> 00:15:09,901
Hughes?

216
00:15:09,984 --> 00:15:12,779
Hughes... Hey, Hughes!

217
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,914
You humans really are such fools.

218
00:15:22,997 --> 00:15:25,208
You risk your lives
over the most pointless things.

219
00:15:33,132 --> 00:15:38,388
Elicia... Gracia... I'm sorry.

220
00:15:39,889 --> 00:15:43,977
I promised I'd be home early.

221
00:15:51,109 --> 00:15:53,278
Oh, this is good!

222
00:15:53,361 --> 00:15:55,488
This apple pie is the best!

223
00:15:55,572 --> 00:15:58,783
Mrs. Gracia is a very good cook.

224
00:15:58,867 --> 00:16:00,285
I know.

225
00:16:00,368 --> 00:16:03,371
The quiche she made for us before
was also awfully delicious.

226
00:16:03,454 --> 00:16:08,918
I put it on the list of things
I want to eat when I get my body back.

227
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:12,171
She taught me how to make it,
so once you get your body back, Al,

228
00:16:12,255 --> 00:16:13,256
I'll make it for you.

229
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:14,757
All right!

230
00:16:16,259 --> 00:16:19,637
Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Gracia
were both really great people.

231
00:16:19,721 --> 00:16:23,600
Colonel Hughes is a doting father,
a busybody,

232
00:16:23,683 --> 00:16:25,643
and annoying to be around.

233
00:16:25,727 --> 00:16:29,147
He did always come by your hospital room
to give you a hard time, huh, Brother?

234
00:16:29,230 --> 00:16:30,940
Seriously.

235
00:16:33,568 --> 00:16:35,862
He said he was busy with work,

236
00:16:35,945 --> 00:16:38,281
but he would always come to visit me.

237
00:16:38,364 --> 00:16:40,992
Next time we're there,
we ought to thank him somehow.

238
00:16:41,075 --> 00:16:41,951
Yeah.

239
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:18,196
Mama, why are they burying Papa?

240
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,823
Elicia...

241
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:25,536
If they do that,
Papa won't be able to do his work.

242
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:26,704
Elici...

243
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:32,710
Papa said he had a lot of work to do.

244
00:17:32,794 --> 00:17:34,712
No!

245
00:17:34,796 --> 00:17:36,714
Don't bury him!

246
00:17:36,798 --> 00:17:38,508
Papa!

247
00:17:41,469 --> 00:17:44,222
Promoted two grades
for dying in the line of duty...

248
00:17:44,305 --> 00:17:46,224
Brigadier General Hughes, huh?

249
00:17:47,892 --> 00:17:49,227
What good does it do

250
00:17:49,310 --> 00:17:52,855
to have someone who said they'd support me
from below get above me...

251
00:17:54,607 --> 00:17:56,150
you idiot?

252
00:17:56,234 --> 00:17:57,610
Colonel...

253
00:18:01,114 --> 00:18:05,118
Alchemists are nasty creatures,
aren't they, Lieutenant?

254
00:18:06,494 --> 00:18:09,831
There's a part of me
that was just frantically piecing together

255
00:18:09,914 --> 00:18:12,375
the theories
of human transmutation in my head.

256
00:18:13,876 --> 00:18:17,505
I think I can now understand
what those boys felt

257
00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:19,007
when they tried to transmute their mother.

258
00:18:22,677 --> 00:18:23,511
Are you all right?

259
00:18:25,513 --> 00:18:26,389
Yes, I'm all right.

260
00:18:28,016 --> 00:18:30,393
Oh, no, it's started to rain.

261
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:34,605
No, there's no rain...

262
00:18:37,275 --> 00:18:39,152
Yes, it's raining.

263
00:18:42,196 --> 00:18:44,115
Yes, you're right.

264
00:18:44,198 --> 00:18:47,827
Let's go back. It's chilly out here.

265
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:53,332
He left, saying he was going
to the archive room.

266
00:18:53,416 --> 00:18:55,960
That was the last time I saw the colonel.

267
00:18:58,421 --> 00:19:00,423
Did he get into a fight with someone?

268
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:02,175
Probably.

269
00:19:02,258 --> 00:19:03,968
There were traces of blood

270
00:19:04,052 --> 00:19:05,720
leading from inside the room
out into the hallway.

271
00:19:06,763 --> 00:19:08,639
And the next place he went was...

272
00:19:10,058 --> 00:19:13,770
The colonel was hurt,
and was about to place a call,

273
00:19:13,853 --> 00:19:18,274
but then he didn't call anyone,
and just left.

274
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,988
He picked up on something
in the court-martial office,

275
00:19:24,072 --> 00:19:26,032
and even though
he could have called from inside,

276
00:19:26,115 --> 00:19:29,660
he deliberately went outside
to try to contact me.

277
00:19:30,661 --> 00:19:32,997
The Eastern Command Center
switchboard operator

278
00:19:33,081 --> 00:19:36,793
heard Hughes say
"The military is in trouble!"

279
00:19:36,876 --> 00:19:40,755
What was it?
What was he trying to tell me?

280
00:19:43,174 --> 00:19:44,425
Colonel...

281
00:19:44,509 --> 00:19:47,637
I've brought Major Armstrong.

282
00:19:50,556 --> 00:19:51,808
We have some suspects

283
00:19:51,891 --> 00:19:55,269
as to those who murdered
Lt. Colonel Hughes.

284
00:19:55,353 --> 00:19:57,188
Then why aren't you out there
catching them right now?

285
00:19:57,271 --> 00:20:01,567
We have some suspects,
but we don't know who they are.

286
00:20:03,486 --> 00:20:05,571
What do you mean? Explain yourself.

287
00:20:06,739 --> 00:20:07,573
I cannot.

288
00:20:07,657 --> 00:20:11,119
I am a colonel,
and I'm telling you to explain it!

289
00:20:11,202 --> 00:20:13,579
Are you going to disobey
a superior officer?

290
00:20:13,663 --> 00:20:15,164
I cannot tell you.

291
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:23,047
All right.
I'm sorry to have called you out.

292
00:20:23,131 --> 00:20:25,174
- You're free to go.
- Yes, sir.

293
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:32,849
Come to think of it,
I forgot to mention something.

294
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:36,602
The Elric brothers were here
up until just a few days ago.

295
00:20:37,687 --> 00:20:38,855
The Elric brothers?

296
00:20:38,938 --> 00:20:41,232
Yes, the Elric brothers.

297
00:20:43,526 --> 00:20:45,611
Did they find what they were looking for?

298
00:20:45,695 --> 00:20:50,908
No. After all,
it is an item of legendary proportions.

299
00:20:50,992 --> 00:20:52,994
I see. Thanks.

300
00:20:56,038 --> 00:20:58,833
Not much information
to be gathered from that, is there?

301
00:20:58,916 --> 00:21:02,753
Man, I tell you,
the major is far too unsuspecting.

302
00:21:02,837 --> 00:21:06,174
He said "those who killed Hughes,"

303
00:21:06,257 --> 00:21:09,135
which would mean
there is more than one person involved.

304
00:21:09,218 --> 00:21:12,013
It could be that there are people
working as a group.

305
00:21:13,472 --> 00:21:15,349
The fact
that he wouldn't tell me anything,

306
00:21:15,433 --> 00:21:18,811
even though as a colonel I ordered him to,

307
00:21:18,895 --> 00:21:23,065
means that there is someone
above me who has forbidden him to talk.

308
00:21:23,149 --> 00:21:25,401
Someone to do with the senior staff,
I'll bet.

309
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:30,281
And what the Elric brothers
are looking for,

310
00:21:30,364 --> 00:21:32,283
which is to say, the Philosopher's Stone.

311
00:21:34,118 --> 00:21:36,495
So how is an organization having to do
with the senior military staff

312
00:21:36,579 --> 00:21:41,500
connected to the Philosopher's Stone
and Lt. Colonel Hughes?

313
00:21:41,584 --> 00:21:43,753
I don't know yet.

314
00:21:43,836 --> 00:21:46,756
But once I transfer to Central,

315
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:48,424
I'm going to make sure
to investigate the senior staff,

316
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:51,052
and smoke out whoever killed Hughes.

317
00:21:51,135 --> 00:21:54,639
It's not like you to mix
public and private affairs.

318
00:21:54,722 --> 00:21:56,891
There's nothing "public" or "private"
about it.

319
00:21:56,974 --> 00:21:59,352
All of this, whether taking
the position of Fuhrer

320
00:21:59,435 --> 00:22:01,646
or avenging Hughes,
I do of my own personal volition!

321
00:22:01,729 --> 00:22:06,984
I'm going to stick it to the senior staff.
Are you coming?

322
00:22:08,027 --> 00:22:09,695
After all this time, you have to ask?
