S1 E15Unfinished Business

[talking about Scar] He's dragging people in who had nothing to do with it. How can you talk about legitimacy? He's a fraud. He's on a tirade of personal vengeance and he hides behind this excuse of "God's will," so he can claim its noble.

Still, if someone were to take you away from me, brother, I think I might do the same thing. Isn't that equivalent exchange?

No! Thats not how the principle works! Haven't you learned that yet? Destroying lives doesn't bring lives back. We all just need to live and be content while we can.

That's far enough!

Colonel Mustang, wait!

Colonel Mustang? Flame Alchemist, Roy Mustang?

The one and only.

But Sir!

I'm awfully sorry about your grievances, but no one hurts my men.

Yet another soul who departs from God's path. Death will be swift.

Brave enough to attack the Flame Alchemist. I'll make you a funeral pyre.

Colonel! Oh! Stubborn man! [trips him] Fire!

That's no way to get promoted, Hawkeye!

Relax, sir, I just saved your life. Your flame attack's no good in the rain.

She’s right, colonel: Wet gloves won’t make a spark.

Doctor Marcoh, why don't you let us hide you in our hometown for a while? It's just three days on a train from here, right?

It might be a bit hard on us going back there though.

Not at all, we have friends there, the Rockbells, they make automail, I'm sure they'll be...

Rockbell? No, I can't, I can't go there, I'm sorry!

I will give you a moment to pray.

Thanks for the gesture, but I don't believe. Stopped a long time ago.

I promise before God, I won't hurt your brother. But you should listen to him, Fullmetal. Your life for another is not a fair exchange. There is nothing in this world that can equal the loss of my brother and my people. Nothing will make it easier to bear!

Really? Then why are you murdering all these people?

JDJuliet Douglas

I have orders to take Marcoh into Fuhrer Bradley's custody. He assures you that the doctor will not come to harm.

But...Yes, of course.

Marcoh, don't!

It's like I told you, Ed, I can't go with you. Your hometown is not a place where I could ever be welcome.

Why not?

The two doctors that we executed in Ishbal... their names were Rockbell.

The classic: ‘Sewer Escape’…

Don’t follow him…!

Damn it, I was about to jump in!

(Walks up to Roy and Havoc) Nice mess! Is it over yet?

You know you could help while you’re here, Hughes.

Lay off, I’m as normal as they come and this is a contest of freaks. What do you want me to do, fire my slingshot at him?

Uh!

Lieutenant Hawkeye, take crowd control, I don’t want anyone getting close.

Yes, Sir.

Say something Al, are you still with me?

You idiot! (Punches Ed)

...! What’s that for?!

Why didn’t you run away when I told you to?!

Because, steel-for-brains, then he would have killed you!

So you decided to die instead?! That’s really smart!

Don’t call your older brother an ‘idiot’, idiot!

That’s not how we do things! (Ed grunts)… Live and be content while we can, live to research more alchemy, so one day we can get our bodies back… That is how we do things brother! Dying!? And dying by yourself!? And leaving me on my own!?! That’s something I won’t let you do! Oh great! Now my arm’s fallen off too! Today is a terrible day!

We’re really fallin’ apart at the seams, aren’t we? Everyone who sees us must think we’re a joke…

But we’re alive, right?

Yeah… We are that, Al.

Leaving so soon, sir?

Funny how things work, now that Scar has shown up here in the East the bureaucrats are very concerned about their duties back in Central. I'm sorry to've inconvenienced you Colonel.

Can you chose my punishment first?

Punishment?

I've known where the Crystal Alchemis's been hiding for some time now. I've never informed the state.

That's a job well done, Colonel.

Sir?

You see? I came out fine as ever.

(Sighs) You know, maybe it’d do you some good to get your hand slapped every once in a while.

Don’t blame me, that guy’s a wall… I can’t figure him out… (Al’s scream is heard; Roy and Hawkeye look towards the break room)

Creation follows destruction! I’ll fix him up nice and pretty!

Uh! That’s OK!

Bonding a soul to steel is no walk in the park, Fullmetal’s the only one that can fix Al now, go ahead ask him.

That’s right, it’s my burden… But before I do anything I have to get my other arm back…

Well, that is an interesting fix, isn’t it? I mean, if the great Edward can’t use his alchemy…

He’s just a useless teen with a grumpy-ass-attitude.

Anyway… I’ll have to take some leave now… I'm going back to my mechanic. You know the one, don’t you?

Sure, Ed, how can I forget? I saw you at her house, unconscious, with that same stump of an arm you have now, bawling in your sleep, "It hurts! I'm going to pee my pants!" So tough.

So where you going to go once you’re fixed?

Central… I’ve got something to look up in the library there…

That’s a heck of a trip you’ll need some protection. I would volunteer but… Well, since the Führer going straight to Central and I’m part of his escort, I can’t go.

They just put me back in charge here; I’ve got to look after this place.

And I’ve got to look after the Colonel.

You could send me, but I don’t know how much help I’d be up against a fanatical alchemist serial killer.

BFBreda, Falman, and Furey

(Ad-lib they agree with Havoc)

That settles it, send me! I’ll protect the boys on their journey for repairs and investigation!

We don’t need an escort!

Really, Ed, what do you plan to do if Scar shows up while you’re missing that arm?

Can’t fight; can’t exactly carry your hobbled brother to safety either.

(Nervous laugh)

Children should listen to adults!

Ah! You can’t call us children! Al, why don’t you stick up for us here!?!

That is the first time I've been treated like a kid since I became a suit of armor!! Thank you!

The train leaves soon Edward Elric… We’d better go pack our bags.

Uh… This is the first time I've been treated like luggage!

(Cramped by Armstrong) Spacious…

(Knocks and salutes Edward)

KKid

Newspaper? I’ve got tea, too!

(Motions for the kid to leave him alone) Hey, I've got a message from Roy.

You mean the Colonel?

He said, "Don't die under my command; you're enough of a pain without the paperwork." And that was it.

Tell him, "Fine, there's no way I'm dying before you do, you morally bankrupt Colonel with a God complex."… And tell him to take this gorilla escort here off my hands too.

Alright, easy. (Edward looks away) Look, Ed. I don’t know what Marcoh said to upset you, but I found some info you might find helpful. About three years ago we found the remains of a girl, who’d been turned into a chimera, I’m sure you remember.

Nina!

The way she was torn apart… Turns out it’s identical to the way Scar’s been killing people.

(Gasps) Thanks, Hughes. That does help; now I can take him on.

But how can that be? I've spent years devoted to alchemy, that damn principle. Getting my arm and leg back and my brother's body. That's our dream. We keep looking for something we can do to balance the equation...to earn it back, but I've never turned it around the other way. Where was the equivalency then? What have we ever gained for our losses? It's always been a one way current, just a series of us giving to the void. Everything's been taken from us!

Heh! Yet it seems like you've gotten smaller!

WHO ARE YOU CALLING SMALL YOU MINIATURE SIZED HAG?

You're shorter than your temper.

YOU'RE SO SHORT YOU'RE TWO-DIMENSIONAL!

Automail moron!

Grandma flea!

Edward Elric! [takes off shirt and poses] How dare you speak to your elder with such blatant disrespect! Let ME remedy this fight with my genteel decorum!

Who the heck is this guy? He really doesn't get the joke, does he?

It looks like that was drawn with blood.

Yeah, that's my blood. I was in kind of a hurry.

Awe-inspiring! Such a bond! Such a display of brotherly love!

(interrupting) Back up, Major Spazz ... You're really getting in the way of the work here.
