Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood · Season 1
So you shake down strangers for food, and yet you can somehow afford two personal attendants?
Well, I am the emperor's son, after all.
Huh? Emperor's son?
That makes you...
A prince! Hehehehehehe!
Not the reaction I anticipated.
Sorry! We just didn't see that coming!
Yeah, the guy who collapsed on the side road and then mooched food off us is the son of an Emperor!
Okay! The Philosopher's Stone... What information can you offer?
Not happening! The Stone isn't a tool for some political game.
What's going on? ...Who is this?
Oh, sir, you've returned! Welcome back.
I said, who is this?!
My name is May Chang, sir. I was collapsed by the side of the road... Your master, Mr. Yoki, revived me and brought me back here.
Master?
Black Hayate? What’s gotten into you, boy?
Hahaha, it’s dangerous to be out walking the streets, alone, at this hour. You never know when you might meet, the terrible serial killer, feared by all, Barry the Chopper! Ahh! No fair, why’d you have to pull a gun for-? Ah! Alright, that’s it, lady! Now I’m going to hear you scream!
Uh!
Ahhh! Hey, how come you’re not paralyzed with fear?
You actually remind me of someone else I know.
Let me guess, Alphonse, something or other?
Uh! You’ve met Alphonse before?
Hahahaha, so the guy’s a friend of yours is he? I’m going to tell you something sweetheart, you are one strong woman!
The Philosopher’s Stone…
I can’t believe the Fifth Laboratory was being used to make something like that.
It gets worse; there’s a chance that Military Senior Staff was involved as well.
Plus there were those other two, Lust and Envy. Are they the ones who made you into what you are now?
Nah, it was the researchers that did that. Ripped my soul right out of my body, and slapped it into this suit of armor you see, here.
We can track down these so called researchers, if we find them, maybe they can tell us who ordered the experiments.
Fat chance of that. They were all used to create Philosopher’s Stones, there’s not a single one of them left alive.
Silenced and then used as ingredients, how efficiently planned.
Do you think this means they have what they need, or will they try to make additional Stones?
I have one more question for you. A little over a month ago, a military officer was killed in a telephone booth, in Central. Were you the one who did it?
Phone booth doesn’t sound familiar. Was he all chopped up?
Never mind.
Hello there, Winry! You look like you’re in a very generous mood today!
Hi, Ed. Hi, Al. What are you doing showing up like this?
Ahahaha!
[Havoc visits Falman who's keeping an eye on Barry.]
How's it goin'? You won a single game yet?
Not even close... But this game is boring anyway. Hey, since it's night now, I can go and cut someone up, right?!
Of course not.
The colonel apologizes for having to give you such a dangerous assignment. He also says don't worry about your other duties; your absence is being treated as sick leave. But if anyone- even military personnel outside of our unit- sees you, he'll have you court-martialed before you can blink... That is all.
[Mustang has lied to the Elric brothers to avoid telling them about Hughes' death.]
Now you've decided to treat them like children?
There's no need for them to know just yet... The fewer obstacles that stand in their way right now... the better.
Colonel... They are gonna find out someday.
It's funny... I've accused Armstrong of being soft... But right now I'm no better than he is.
I fail to see anything "soft" about it. It's cruel, Colonel.
Apple pie?
That's right. I've practiced making it a few times. I know it might... sound like... I'm bragging... but I've gotten pretty good at it. I'm not nearly as good as Miss Gracia, but someday... I'd hoped... That Mr. Hughes... would get to try some too!
What you said before... about how much nicer it would be if the Flame Colonel would behave himself...
Yes?
How would you feel, about us making another play?
You have something in mind?
Well, we've got a noisy mutt... Perhaps all he needs is a nice bone to chew on.
Right now it's lookin' like you'll be facing the firing squad for sure.
It's not true! They're wrong! If they would just do a proper investigat-
Here are your choices... Stay here and be killed for murder... or bust outta this joint with me. Which will it be?
How is this happening? Isn't there anything else I can do?!
It sure doesn't look like it!
I have no choice! Mom! Dad! Please forgive me! [Regains her composure] Fine, let's go... If this is how it has to be, I'll escape with you. But you better know a way out of here, metal boy.
Ooh! You've got spunk!
Why, Colonel? Why was Hughes murdered? Why would Second Lieutenant Ross...? Why didn't you say anything!? [Ed grabs Roy]
[slaps Ed across the face] Threatening a superior officer? You forget yourself, Elric.
Maria Ross was a fugitive. Our orders were "shoot to kill." So I did.
That's all you have to say?!
About Hughes' death... I apologize for hiding it. But you do not argue against orders... or ask for explanations. Just follow them.
It's an awful thing you did, turning a beauty like her into a pile of charcoal. You must have had quite a grudge against her, didn't you, Colonel? Was the vengeance as sweet as you imagined it?
... [crosses his arms and looks away]
The famous hero of the Ishvalan War, going this far against a little girl. It makes me sick.
