[Edward sees Wrath choking Izumi]
[throws a rock] Get off her!
[Wrath jumps back. Izumi coughs a few times]
[transmutes his arm into a blade and runs toward them] You bastard!!
“Unfinished Business” · Season 1, Episode 15
In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)
Either because of love or out of foolish curiosity, human transmutations are attempted. And when these attempts all backfire, a different life is created. A being that has its own body and mind, but no soul. That is how the damned are born. That is a homunculus!
I remember it, I can picture it all, the only thing I could do was sit and wait in the absolute darkness inside the Gate. I just kept waiting and waiting, all the while my body was slowly growing. And then one day, an idiot dropped by! He had already given his leg and now he stuck his arm across the threshold. He was screaming and crying, "Give me back my little brother!" I took his limbs for myself.
[to Ed] Thank you for the arm and leg! [to Izumi] Thank you for this incomplete life! Nothing can match my gratitude. Not even my hate.
I just stopped by to see an old friend and who should I find in her mansion. Well... as long as I'm here I should have some fun.
MMartel
Hello.
Who are you guys?
MMartel
We're kidnappers.
Who are you kidnapping?
RRoa
You, Alphonse Elric. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come with us, now.
But my teacher taught me never to go anywhere with strangers.
Don't be ridiculous. How old are you?
14
If you're that old, you should be able to think and act for yourself by now, am I right? Listen kid, if you ever wanna be a man, then you gotta act like one. You can't let your teacher run your life forever, right?
I see... I should think for myself!
Now you're talking... Then we're clear, you're gonna come with us-[knocked out by Al]
I decided not to go with strangers. That's my decision and mine alone!
MMartel
Well... this should be fun.
Sorry about this, I know how creepy this has to be, but I’m supposed to keep an eye on you, so you’ll have to… Bare with me a while…
It’s alright I’m already used to it. Just be careful about my blood seal, okay? If you accidentally touch it, I could die… (Looks down, then up) Hey, how’d you guys get to be chimeras anyway?
Well, we were stationed in the east on assignments, some were injured, others well, let’s just say we weren’t useful anymore. They took us some where, for experiments…
Laboratory Five?
That’s right. Greed, he saved us from that damn place and offered all of us jobs working for him if we wanted.
Greed?
He took us out of the cages, and gave us something we could all call home.
That’s right guys. See? This place is handcrafted for outlaws, who don’t fit in on the outside, can hide out for a while.
Tucker…? Tucker! Why are you here?
Don’t misunderstand, Al, I’m not here by choice, I promise.
CChimera
If things don’t go as planned, the doctor here’s the only one who can cure us chimeras.
I’ll be damned, just like you said, Dr. Tucker, he really is empty inside…
But! But, I’m not the one who told them how to apprehend you, Al.
It’s a pleasure to meet you, kid. You can just call me Greed. I’m your new friend.
Uh! A tattoo of the oroboros!
Hmm, so you know what that is. Well, this should go quickly then.
That makes you a friend of Envy, Lust, and the others, doesn’t it?
I wouldn’t say ‘friends,’ more like sworn enemies, if you want to get down to the grit.
I don’t get it…
See, Al? That is your name right? Tell me, how does it feel to have your soul bound to that armor? To exist as a chunk of solid metal rather then a soft and cushy human worm. To be unaffected by weaknesses, like hunger, fatigue, and old age… You could call that, eternal life, couldn’t you?
Eternal life…? That’s why you kidnapped me?! Eternal life!?
They don’t call me Greed for nothing! I want money! Women! Status! And power! I want everything this world’s selling and eternity is topping the list! Understand? You can help me achieve what I’m going for, Al. And you will help me here, because if you don’t tell me how your soul’s bound to that armor… I’ll break it apart to find out.
I won’t help you. You’re a bad person.
You can act tough for a while if you insist. Just remember that no one’s on their way to save you, kiddo. So you’re at my mercy now.
My brother knows you took me! I bet he’s on his way right now-
Oh, yeah about him. See when I left him he wasn’t feeling too good.
You better not have hurt my brother! You let your guard down. Now, all I need to do is use this chain to-
To do what exactly? Now that was, silly. Oh, sorry bout that Marta. I forgot you were keeping house… Hehehe, I like a man with guts. But, did you honestly think it’d be that easy? I mean if you really want to hurt me you have to do something, kind of like… (Roa knocks Greed's head off)
What did you do that for? I thought he was your friend?!
Teacher!
I'm sorry, who the hell are you?
PISSED OFF!
Careful, brother! He's a homunculus just like the others!
I see, no wonder...
Hey, listen, I've got a hostage here. Is everyone forgetting about that? Come on, isn't anybody paying attention here! Hellooo?
I didn't come here to negotiate! If all you homunculi are mistakes created by alchemists, the results of their sins, well then alchemists should be responsible for correcting those mistakes, starting right now!
Huh... all right... I didn't want to have to show you this since it does get a bit ugly, but since you're getting all serious on me, then I'll get serious too.
What the...!?
This is my real form... Come and get it!
You've never killed anyone, have you, kid?
What's that got to do with it?
I'm saying you lack the guts to kill. You'll never beat me like that, and you'll never beat the other homunculi either. So I'll help you find the guts now... by showing you some of your own!
Well, damn it. Those bastards went and ruined our fight.
(Sarcastically) Well hell, boss don't sound worried or anything.
Will You drop this stupid routine! I've told you everything we know!
SSoldier
Sorry sir, the orders from Lieutenant Colonel Archer were very clear.
This isn't a time for protocol! They've got my brother! Damn it!
The Crimson Alchemist Solf J Kimblee, and the Sewing-Life Alchemist Shou Tucker. A pair of infamous ghosts.
I've held my end of the bargain. How about you?
You don't have to worry, neither do you doctor. I'll guarantee safety for you both. See, you are under the protection of Frank Archer now.
Protection?
That's right. I'm reinstating you into the military to continue research. but this time, you will be working directly under me.
You'll let me finish my work?
Yes. I'll be changing my orders. Tell the troops not to take prisoners. Kill anyone who looks suspicious. I want this place cleaned.
SSoldier
But sir, there are civilians. You sure that is okay?
(to soldier) It is now. (to self) Now that Tucker is on our side, those creatures can be replaced, and not even Greed can stop me, as long as I have this.
Where is the old lady?
LLyra(Dante)
The reason you came here is simple. These are the grounds that witnessed your creation.
Smart girl.
Those are..
LLyra(Dante)
Your bones.
Hey, where the hell did you get those? And what did Dante tell you?
LLyra(Dante)
Lady Dante is over there.
What is going on here? Who are you? How could you have known? How could you have made that array? You're just a damn kid. Could it be?!
