I knew it reminded me of something. He almost looks like he's praying.
Long time no see. Too bad this isn't why I'd planned on opening you again. Ling...! Jump in it!
You better know what you're doing...! I'm trusting you!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
.. I made it. What the... Were there always two portals?
[He then notices Al's body as his Gate opens and drags him in]
Hurry, Al! AL!
ASAlphonse's body
I can't. I can only leave with my own soul. I'm sorry, I can't go with you.
[the doors close. However, Ed forces them open as they start to close.]
Alphonse! Look at me! I promise... Someday soon... I'm coming back for you! Just you wait! Wait for me!
Bradley [Voice over]: I have no memory of my parents' faces or their names...In fact, I don't even remember my own name. For all I know, I might have been abandoned or sold before I even had one. And they trained us to be leaders. They kept us confined together...and they taught us at all times of the day and night. We studied political science, and humanities...As well as martial arts... firearms...and of course, swordsmanship. I was certain that I would be the one chosen to lead this country. I firmly believed it and I endured any training to make it so.
[Flashback]
SScientist
Go ahead and lie down.
What's going on here?
SScientist
Just try not to think about it. This won't take long.
What are you gonna do to me...?.! Are they dead?!
You are the twelfth candidate. Do you have what it takes to become my fury? My Wrath?
Bradley [Voice over]: A Philosopher's Stone is created from the life force of countless human beings and contains their souls. Once injected into the bloodstream, it begins to take over its new host and the human body tries to reject it. My body was repeatedly destroyed from the inside out and then rebuilt by the stone. The only options I had were to die or to overcome its power. I chose the latter.
[Later]
SScientist
It's amazing! We've made a new type of human! Congratulations. You have been chosen to lead mankind down the path of destiny...Everything has been arranged to provide you with all that you'll need. From now on, your name will be...King Bradley.
You've lived your life before as a human being...Why choose to be a Homunculus, sir...? Isn't there some way you could go back to being a human...?
You suggest I become human again...? Ridiculous...Why would I possibly want to pursue such frivolity? I've become something far superior. Just as you humans take great pride in your "humanity", misguided though that may be... I too am proud...Because we also take pride in what we are. The woman you killed. She died with her pride intact, didn't she?
That suit of armor's gonna pay, big time! He stole Shao Mei from me...! Kidnapped her...! That creep! That's her...! Shao Mei-
Hold it. You see that fat one? I overheard them call him a Homunculus.
A homunculus?
He has the power to recover from any type of injury...So he's practically immortal.
He is...? That's even more reason for us to go after them!
..I don't know if we can stop him. What's the armored boy doing with him? Is something wrong?
This place... it's strange...I could feel there was something wrong with this country since I got here. But this place... It's the source of it... Can you feel those things...? Crawling beneath us?
I didn't know there were tunnels like this under Central. What's with all that?
Huh...? Oh... The gatekeepers did all that.
The gatekeepers?
They won't rip you up as long as you're with me.
Just pretend they aren't there. Do we have much further?
Not too far... It's just ahead now.
Does he know what happens to the people you swallow?
I'm sure he does. Father knows everything!
Brother.. I know you're still alive...Just hang on.
What are these things?
They're known as Chimeras. There's no end to them.
It's stronger here. The feeling... There's something evil beneath us.
Is it more chimera?
No, it's worse. It that.. people?
[Cut to Father]
The gatekeepers seem to have grown restless. Someone's come to find me.
Envy?
Envy? That thing?
Al, you’re back in your armor… Then that means…
We’re back in the real world.
Hohen… The name you said! By any chance do you mean Van Hohenheim? And how is it the two of you are acquainted with him?
Well… He’s our father.
… He’s your father?! I had no idea he had children! Haha! … If you are indeed his progeny, then why is it your family name is Elric?
Elric is our mother’s last name!
Oh is that so, so where is he been spending his time?
Who cares! Just forget him! Who the hell are you? And why do you look exactly like him?!
I know that he can’t be dead…
Listen!
Brother! This guy’s the one who-
Ngh!
It would appear that you’re injured. And you’re missing your left hand, aren’t you? There and how’s that for you? Your arm is broken...
Uh! It’s not broken anymore. Uh! Hey…! Owww!
Few broken ribs as well. I consider the two of you to be vital resources you must both remain alive and healthy.
This isn’t right Al. He preformed a transmutation without any movement at all.
And he didn’t even thin out my armor.
There isn’t any equivalent exchange!
[when the Elrics attempt to stop him from having Ling killed] When you notice an insect on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool? The life of an insect is so beneath you, that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it. That would be a accurate summation on my feelings towards these humans.
It’s pretty obvious that you’re the root of all this evil! I’m taking you down! I don’t care how many cronies you’ve got!
Just who are you calling a crony, pipsqueak?
Pipsqueak!?
Shao May!
Haho! Now that’s a touching reunion right there!
Where is he? Where is Mr. Edward?
He's right there.
Huh? He's not really here, is he?
I told you, that's him right there! That little guy is the Fullmetal Alchemist.
Huh? AAH!
[Seeing Ed, May's fantasy is shattered as she changed from distraught to furious]
HOW DARE YOU TOY WITH THE FEELINGS OF A MAIDEN, YOU HUMAN MICROBE!
WHAT'D YOU CALL ME, MICRO-GIRL?!
Where are you taking us?
Just get in.
[They enter the elevator to up top with Envy assuming the form of a military soldier]
This looks familiar....It's Central Command!
We were under it the whole time!
You really had me fooled.
I don't remember lying to you. I instructed you to stay out of trouble and not to trust the military. You do that and no harm comes to you.
You will have to continue carrying this. And you will do so by your own volition.
By my own free will? There's no way I'd...
What was her name? That girl... Ah, yes. It was Winry Rockbell. Your Automail engineer. And raised in Resembool too. She's practically family. I heard she has a clientele in Rush Valley.
Stay away from her! Just leave her out of this!
If you don't intend to stay, then I'll simply have to cut her down.
