Fullmetal Alchemist (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 29 - Yogorenaki kodomo - full transcript

As the Elric brothers are leaving Yock Island, a strange boy emerges from the foliage, with no memory of how he arrived. Inexplicably, he can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle. Even stranger, he can transmute his own body, merging with his surroundings! Izumi is compelled to take care of the child, but Ed has other plans.

Did you arrange for him, too, Meisun?

The only time I frightened you was three years ago.

We couldn't have you dying out
here, so I came to keep watch.

Then, why did you attack us!?

That was because Izumi told me
to toughen you up a little.

You've got to be kidding! That wasn't a little

That's right! How could you have been so reckless with children?

Enough! Stop griping about what happened
in the past after all this time!

We're sorry!

Sensei...?

He'sfscx100}just a child. He probably stole his parents'
boat or something and drifted here.

If that's the case...

Sensei!

Brother! That light!

He's an alchemist!

Ed!

Why, you...

You turned your own body into stone?

What's with this guy!?
His clothes...!?

What are you doing!?
He's just a child, you know!

But he might have been coming after us.

Coming after you?

At your ages, are you already such wanted men?

I'm not kidding around.

Where did you come from?
Where are your parents?

I don't know.

What's your name?

I don't know. I don't know anything...

There, you don't have to cry.
You're all right now.

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.

Those haven't been cooked yet.

Still, I'm glad that you two made it back alive.

Don't go killing us off so easily.

So? Has your sensei forgiven you?

That's probably going to be difficult.

We disobeyed Sensei's teachings.

Even though we knew we were nothing more
than one part of the flow of the world...

...we became conceited, saying that the world was
within us, too, and tried to alter that flow.

That's something we could never get her to forgive us for.

Shoot! Let me go!

Come on!
Take it easy on me!

There's something funny about that!

Everybody makes mistakes, don't they?
I'm going to go tell your sensei off!

I'll ask her if she's never made any mistakes before.

Hold on, Winry! That's all right!

Sensei realizes that much.

So don't worry, Winry.

I suppose...

So, what are you going to do?

Hmm, I'm not sure...

About that boy?

Even if he has lost his memory,
Sensei trusts him too much.

But she did take him to the police, right? They asked her
to watch after him while they gathered information.

I hope he's just a lost little boy.

The meat is too tough...!

We'd better not do this, Brother.

Sensei locked it with alchemy.

If we open it, she'll know.

In that case...

Al, make sure to put this back the way it was.

Wanna play?

Terrific! Everyone was dead, so it got boring.

They aren't dead. They're just asleep.

What should we do to play? I know...!

Look! You played around like this, huh?

So, it wasu that watched us that whole time, huh?

Where did you come from?

Hey, let it go!

No!

An animal's life is not a plaything.

I'm playing! I'm playing! I'm playing!

H-hey, be quiet! You'll wake them!
You'll wake them up!

Ah, damn it!

Incredible! Incredible!

You can do that too, right?

Don't lie to me! Earlier, on the island, you transmuted a rock
and your clothes were also made by transmutation, right?

Brother, your tone...

Al, you saw it, didn't you?

This guy transmuted without using a transmutation circle.
The only ones who can do that are myself and Sensei.

And yet, Sensei pretended like
she didn't see anything.

That's definitely weird.

What's the matter?
Try untying it with alchemy.

Take it off, take it off!

Take it off...!

Brother, this boy really doesn't have
anything to do with those others.

Al, I remember having seen his face before.

I know I've seen him somewhere...

Brother! What did you do!?

I didn't do anything! There's no way I could transmute a
person's body and a bed together in the first place!

You're making too much noise for me to sleep!

Hey...

No, no, no, no...!

It wasn't like that, Sensei!
We didn't do anything!

It's true! Brother is quite the liar,
but he's telling the truth today!

Al, thanks a lot...

I know. I don't remember having taught you
any such careless alchemy as this.

Making Chimeras by crossing two lives with each other aside, that is.

Let me down! Let me down from here!

Stop crying!

It's all right now. Can you remember
what your original form was?

Youfscx100}just have to remember what
your original form was.

Take your time... take your time...

You moronic pupils!

What kind of commotion were you trying
to create by scaring this child!?

We're sorry, Sensei!

But we were worried. What if this
was the guy that came after us?

Just who is it that's after you?

They called themselves... Homunculi.

Thank you for always coming by like this. But
with your new job, are you sure it's okay?

Yes. I work at home, so my time is free.

Scieszka, um, if you're still investigating
the incident with Maes...

It's all right. I'm not involved in
anything that dangerous.

I'm not all that impulsive, after all.

- Bye-bye.

Well, if you'll excuse me...

See you tomorrow, okay?

Hold on! Just a minute!

Colonel...

Ow-ow-ow-ow...

Aren't you going to Hughes' house?

Is it wrong of me to slip over to a close friend's home?

There's no way you can show your face there, huh?

Not when you aren't even investigating
the cause of that close friend's death,

and can only think about
getting yourself promoted.

Now look, missy...

These are copies of the materials Hughes
was looking into right before he died.

The reason that Hughes was killed
has to be in there somewhere.

Congratulations on your posting to Central!

That was easy for me to say,
but I don't get this at all!

This is a list of all the external calls that were
connected to the Central Command Center.

There's no sort of code here...

To the reception clerk...
To the Ministry of Justice...

To the Fuhrer's secretary's office...

I don't get it!

I can't go having you lose track of them, you know.

I'm pretty busy myself here, after all.

Their master lives in a town named Dublith.

They might still be there.

Maybe I should go there and have a look. It'll be okay to
leave the Greed matter to Lust and Gluttony, right?

Yes. Those boys still haven't given up
on the Philosopher's Stone yet.

Make sure they have the opportunity
to create one once again.

For being the youngest among us, you sure
do give orders like you're all grown up.

I would like to have those boys
create a Philosopher's Stone,

but we can't have them sticking their noses
into that Ishbal business, understand?

Why don't those Homunculi create
their own Philosopher's Stone?

They said that they couldn't make it
themselves. They can't use alchemy.

In that case, this child is different.

That is true.

Although, you shouldn't be able to reform your own body, no matter what kind of alchemy you're using, and yet he can.

What's more, Sensei, he's transmuted without a transmutation circle, just like you and Brother do.

- That's...
t...

Al, don't you remember?

Remember what?

Ed, you remember, don't you?

The gateway, you mean?

Sure enough, it's because I saw it...

It was truth, wasn't it?

Truth?

Brother!

Brother!

Al!!

At the time, I couldn't understand what was going on.

It was as if there was this incredible amount of
information being directly mashed into my brain.

But then, suddenly, I understood...

Everything about alchemy that
I hadn't known up until then...

It felt like I was just one step away from arriving at
my imperfect theory of human transmutation...

Mom!

Stop it! Let me go!

Please let me go!

Hold on!

One more time! Show it to me one more time!

The truth was in there! The thing
that I've been looking for!

Equivalent exchange?
What do you mean?

A toll?

Damn it!

It was taken!

Mom...!

No... this isn't what I wanted...

Al, it's my fault...

Mine!

I understood when I was inside that gateway.

If I acted now, there was still time.
If I acted now, I could still...

Give him back. He's my brother.

My leg...

Both my arms... My heart...
I'll give them to you...

Just give him back!

He's my only brother!

Al! Al!

Al!!

By the time I came to, I was already in this body,
and what had been Mom was no longer there.

I saw the truth there.

That's why I can transmute without a transmutation
circle, and was able to bond Al's soul.

Isn't that right?

You think of it as truth, do you?

Well, it is, isn't it? I...

It was more along the lines of a magic trick, wasn't it?

Sensei, I just remembered.
I have a hunch that I saw him there.

If that's so, then he isn't human!
He's something else!

There's something I need to check.
Everything else comes afterward.

Sensei!

I forbid you to go near that child. Got that?

Izumi...

It's all right. I'm just going to go make sure.

Please, let me go alone.

Those boys don't know, do they?
How Homunculi are born?

Gentlemen! How good of you to come!

I, Alex Louis Armstrong, welcome
you with my utmost!

Stop fooling around and get to work!

Lt. Breda...!

Still, you never know when he is going to strike.

Brace yourselves.

The major isn't here.

Oh, is that right?

He's with the officer assigned to the Court-Martial
Office who has taken over for Brig. Gen. Hughes,

and they're off conducting an
investigation somewhere.

Who is this other person who's taking over for him?

As I recall, it was Frank.

You mean Lt. Col. Frank Archer?

Do you know him?

He's a man dedicated to his military duties.

That's a good thing to be, isn't it?

By military duties, I mean that the man enjoys war.

Lt. Colonel, I'm sorry to ask you again...

I don't know where the Elric Brothers went.

What are you, a broken record?

There's no evidence that they even went south.

It is evident that they went south.

You have someone watching them?
Those brothers are not traitors!

Perhaps. I just don't have any intention of letting
them run around free, the way Mustang does.

For the sake of the forthcoming
battle, you understand.

Sorry about this, but Izumi told me not
to let you out, no matter what.

So, where did Sensei go?

Beats me. She asked to have a boat ready
for her, so maybe the island again.

The island? Why?

What are you doing, Al?

All right... There, let's let your hair out, okay?

Winry, sorry, but since we can't come out of our room...

Al? What did you guys do to this boy?
He's completely terrified of you.

Mm-hmm. Anyhow, Winry, this may sound strange,
but there's something I need to ask you.

It's about that boy's body.

Al, what are you talking about?

You mean this? I was surprised, too.
What on earth could have happened?

At the base of his right arm and left leg...

Al, what are you trying to say?

Brother, you said you saw it, right?

His face, on the other side of the doorway?

What's going on!?

T-this isn't good. If Izumi finds out...

We'll be finished right away.

You guys! The sensei told you not to
come near this boy, didn't she?

We'll be finished with this right away!

There's no way... something
like this could be, right?

It was an equivalent exchange...

Mom's body, in exchange for my leg...

Al's soul, as it was fading away,
in exchange for my arm...

It was an equivalent exchange!

Where did you get this scar?

It's the scar from a fox bite...

Is this my arm!?

Wait! Ed!

Edward!

Could it be...?

Could it be that that boy's arm and leg are...?

Fullmetal Alchemist!

Episode 30: "Attack on the Southern Command Center"

Sensei... I am a dog of the military.
