Fullmetal Alchemist (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 24 - Omoide no teichaku - full transcript
As Al runs from Ed and Winry, desperate to know the truth about what he is, mercenaries swoop into the Ishbalan encampment where Scar is recovering and massacre helpless refugees-an attack the military may have condoned. In a chain of events, Al finds himself side by side with Scar, on a renegade mission against the state that Ed represents.
Come on, eat a little.
Eat and get your strength back!
Fine! Suit yourselfme I
have to take care of this guy?
Say, does it still hurt anywhere?
Should I get some medicine?
How is his condition?
He won't listen to what we tell him!
We helped him out before, and then he ran off!
Those who carry Ishbalan blood are
protected by our god, Ishbala.
Everything has happened by God's direction.
What's the matter?
Aren't you going at it?
Of course I'm going. That's the
reason you hired me, after all.
I'll do my worst to cut through their
flesh, and splatter their blood!
That's it, kill them!
Leave no one!
Is God bestowing upon us yet another trial?
This is not the will of God.
This is the karmic doing of despicable men!
You mustn't!
Not in your condition!
God...!
Man cannot obtain anything without
first sacrificing something.
In order to obtain anything,
something of equal value is required.
That is alchemy's
Law of Equivalent Exchange.
At the time, we believed that
to be the true way of the world.
Brother, earlier, in Resembool, there was something
you were about to tell me, but stopped, remember?
Something you were too afraid
to say to me up to now.
It's that my soul and memories and everything are really
something fake that you came up with, wasn't it?
No! What Ed wanted to say to you was...
Never mind!
Is that all you have to say?
What about you, Brother!?
Answer my question!
Why don't you say anything!? Why!?
Brother, why didn't you answer?
If I'm nothing more than memories that
Brother made up, what do I do now?
Really?
Yes. And then, I told her...
My memories of being with
Mom could be fake, too.
Stop! Thief!
Hold it!
You damn thieves!
They're over here!
Hold it!
We made it!
Here, eat.
I don't want any! All of a sudden
snatching things from a store...
if Mom knew we were doing this...
There, you see?
Take it easy on yourself.
You shouldn't steal other people's things.
What? This pile of junk spoke!
Um, I'm not a pile of junk.
By any chance, are you guys from Ishbal?
Um, excuse me...
Have you seen anyone like this?
Nope, I don't know anything about him.
I see. Thank you.
Ed, in any event, we have to find Al, and talk
things over thoroughly with him, right? Ed?
I'm scared.
I've wanted to ask Al something for so long,
but I'm afraid to talk to him about it.
About what?
He...
He... for me...
Still... I think there are things you have
to talk about, or you'll never know.
You must think it unusual that we
would be living in a place like this.
Not at all. I'm the one who
followed along on my own.
No, no, I hear you looked after these children.
By the way, you have a
most peculiar outfit on...
You can relax.
He is not a military person.
Scar!
We meet again, Alphonse Elric.
I'm surprised that you're here, too.
You two know each other?
Yeah... somewhat.
In that case, this works out.
Visitor, I'd like for you not
to tell anyone about us.
T-that's fine.
I know about Ishbal myself.
But why has it come to this?
The military folks came and attacked us!
That's right.
In the past, they used every means
they could find to slaughter us,
but apparently, it wasn't enough.
I despise all State Alchemists. If they're going
to kill me, there's no better time than now.
You're injured.
What happened to your brother?
I don't care what happens to Brother.
Rick? What's wrong?
It's gone! Mom's locket!
What? What difference does
it make? Forget about it!
It was then...!
H-hey! Wait up!
See here! You cannot go outside again!
Rick! Leo!
I will bring them back.
Alphonse Elric, I don't know what happened,
but if you and your brother hate each
other, it works out well for me.
Scar, what do you think about me?
After talking to me, do you sense anything?
In this body, do you think I'm still human?
There they are, there they are!
No doubt about it. Ishbalans.
Rick, give it up already!
Is this what you were looking for?
Yes?
Yes... yes... understood.
Continue tailing them and locate their nest.
So, it's a memento of your late mother?
Uh-huh.
What's inside of it?
I don't know. It won't open.
But that's okay.
Get rid of that thing!
No way!
You shouldn't talk that way about
your mother's keepsake.
That woman... you call her a mother?
She just forced her religious beliefs on us.
Not even once she was kind to us!
She was just thinking of what was best for you.
No! She didn't care what happened to us!
What is this?
Does this boy want to forget his entire past?
That's the complete opposite of me.
l want to get my memories back.
As my real memories...
You guys first.
Ah, hold on.
Okay, it's all right.
W-what's this?
Bastard!
Let Rick go!
Hold it!
Yes... yes... yes...
Understood. Thanks.
Hold on! Al, where are you?
What are you about to do?
So they're mercenaries, are they?
Apparently, they're using a military
installation on the outskirts of town.
Rick should be there as well.
But still, Scar, are you sure this is all
right? We're about to go fight...
Hey! Do you have a problem with
us going together with you!?
N-no, I just...
The people of Ishbal value blood
relations more than anything else.
If it means saving Rick, then they can
have the life of this old fool!
That's right! That is something important
to the people of Ishbal. But then...
...our mom... abandoned us!
A phone call from Al!?
Yes. It sounded like he had stuck his
nose into something strange.
On that horrendous day for Ishbal...
...Mom was offering up prayers to
Ishbala, just like she always did.
Hey, Rick...
I made up my mind.
There was no need for Rick to know about this.
I would protect Rick.
Over there!
We'll get a load of reward money
from the military for this job!
We'll be able to take it easy for a while, huh?
We got one of the kids, just like we were told.
Can we be sure the group will be coming?
You know it.
These folks are tightly united.
As long as we can lure out the armor
guy and the scarred man...
An alchemist, huh?
Get him!
And there's the scarred man.
You guys take the armor guy.
I'll take him!
Scar!
We meet again, Little Brother.
What are you doing here?
Don't go trying so hard.
After all, you don't exist.
You're just created memories.
I'll put you out of your misery!
Then, you won't have to worry any more about
whether or not your memories are real!
Stop!
Brother! Why are you here!?
What are you talking about, Al!?
It's obvious! We're worried about you,
and came looking for you!
Brother...!
Fire!
Al! I've been too afraid to ask you for too long!
Do you blame me!?
It's my fault that you wound up in that body!
B-brother!
That's why... That's why I...
I was wondering, if you blamed me.
Brother...! Is that what you
wanted to say to me?
Al! Behind you!
Brother... how could I...
...how could I... blame you!?
What!?
I'm still alive!
Apparently, even that fabled man can fail to
kill someone when he's in enough pain.
Shoot him! Somebody get him!
Give up. You're the only one left now.
Who the hell are you!?
The same as you, a dog of the military.
Dog of the military?
You're a State Alchemist!?
Impossible!
This is a surprise.
You're a State Alchemist, huh?
Let me thank you.
For putting me in this body, that is!
You fool! Get off me!
Rick!
It can't be!
Rick!
Rick! Rick! Why...?
Rick...?
Mom... saved me...
This is eye medicine.
Medicine?
Your mother's eyes must have been sick.
But she didn't want to worry you, so she
pretended that she could still see.
Come to mention it, she said she wasn't able to do
enough for her children because of her body,
but on the inside, it must have been
considerably harder for her.
She couldn't see... Then...
Leo! Rick!
Leo! Rick..!
Mom couldn't see.
She was looking for us, and went
into the children's room.
Mom...!
What is the meaning of this!?
I thought I was hired by the military!
So why was there a State
Alchemist getting in our way!?
Hey, are you listening to me!?
Would you say something..!
Where are you going now?
There are others who make their
way while avoiding pursuit.
I think we shall go visit them.
Al, thanks for everything!
From now on, I'm going to go on living,
holding memories of my mother dear.
Uh-huh. I, too, am going to
hold my memories...
Really... hold them as real memories.
Alphonse Elric...
Earlier, I saw something in you...
The tears that you couldn't
see in your own eyes...
You are... human.
Scar...
Scar! Tell me one thing.
Did you, the people of Ishbala,
have a Philosopher's Stone,
which the military was after?
No. We sought a Philosopher's Stone to protect
ourselves from being destroyed by the military.
So, did you make one?
A Philosopher's Stone?
Let's go.
H-hey! Hold on a minute!
Brother, let him go.
Those people need Scar.
Al, shall we go?
Mm-hmm.
Now that I think about it, we always
argued over the dumbest things, huh?
Mm-hmm, like who had top or bottom
of the bunk beds, and stuff.
I lost that one.
And then, when we'd fight
over toys and I'd win.
We'd fight over candy, too, huh?
Ah, I never did win.
Fullmetal Alchemist!

We'll leave without telling anyone.
That's what we've always done.
