Is my species of consequence to you now? I haven't had the chance to test out my Homunculus traits much. I want to see what would happen If I let my whole body explode. You really wanted the position badly, didn't you, Mustang? I can appreciate the vanity of ambition, but you should have been more patient about it. Even if this somehow had worked, the council would never let an assassin back into their fold.
I didn't do this for politics! I couldn't forgive myself for being blind this long. This is the only way I could atone for the friends I didn't save!
Well, by all means, let me help you with that. Give my best regards to General Hughes.
(interrupts Bradley from pinning Mustang to the wall with sword) What's going on?
[looks up from Mustang and smiles] Hello, son. Good news, I've caught the rat.
I'm sorry that I disobeyed you, father, but I just had to come back. I forgot something, and I wanted to make sure that you're okay. [walks over to King Bradley, who puts his hands on Selim's shoulders]
So what now? You say people are fools, so how do you explain loving him?
[King Bradley begins to quiver]
Father, what's the matter? You look like you're hurt! What's wrong?!
What have you done...you idiot?!
Oh. I just... I got it from your safe. [holds up the wrapped skull] You said your life depended on it, and I didn't want it to get hurt in the fire!
[King Bradley begins to choke Selim]
Father... stop....
[He tosses Selim aside. Mustang looks at his now lifeless body]
You are foolish, all of you, even my own son.
I don't know how long you've lived Fuhrer, or how many times you've cheated death, but not anymore. (Mustang manipulates fire alchemy through the skull unto Bradley, turning him into a pool of blood) It's the end of the line.
