Fullmetal Alchemist (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 43 - Norainu wa nigedashita - full transcript
In the aftermath of the Philosopher's Stone creation, Ed and Al embark on a dangerous journey home. The Fuhrer declares the Elrics to be fugitives of the state, responsible for the deaths of nearly a thousand soldiers, and wants them captured-- dead or alive. Can Mustang's troops intercept the boys before they fall into the wrong hands?
This...
...is Resembool?
It's awfully...
I'm sorry if it's too rural for you.
He's still looking.
What's the matter?
He's been looking at me
ever since we were on the train.
You can understand why, right?
It's a crime to be so beautiful.
Um...
You're Sara, aren't you?
You sure have grown up.
N-No, I'm not!
For crying out loud, pretending to be
someone he knows! That's the oldest-
Sara...
That was my mom's name...
What's this? You said you were
going to study in Rush Valley,
but you've been
in Central this whole time?
It's not like that. We've been
keeping an eye on Ed and Al.
You don't say.
So, when are those two coming back?
Oh, yeah, Grandma, I met someone
in Rush Valley who said they knew you.
Grandma, no one's home! No one, okay?
Good grief...
Just a moment, please.
Wow, the power of love!
You've come back, have you?
Pinako-san, I can't
seem to locate my house.
Your house, as such, is no longer...
Grandma, you know this man?
Ah, right. You were
still so little, and all...
This man is Ed and Al's father.
Yeah, and coming back
after being away for so long,
I can't seem to find my house.
The Philosopher's Stone.
Those who obtain it are set free
from the Law of Equivalent Exchange.
There is no need to pay a price
in order to obtain something, either.
We sought it, and found it.
How come you're so fast?
My body just seems
awfully light for some reason.
If you're tired,
should we take a break?
We can't.
What you said before
was probably the truth.
About Fuhrer Bradley?
That man... the Fuhrer...
is a Homunculus!
This time, the Fuhrer
was commanding the mission.
I don't think it was Envy,
taking his place. Besides,
the Fuhrer's secretary was a Homunculus.
If we go back to the military,
you and I both would be...
Then, Brother, sure enough,
that secretary lady is-
Don't say it!
But Sensei said that Homunculi are
made when a human transmutation fails.
I told you not to say it!
Al...
What was that just now? A huge gate...
I've seen it before, too.
Brother, was that the truth?
Sensei said it was
something else, but yeah.
How did that happen,
when all we did was touch?
As an alchemist, I must have unknowingly
made it react with the Philosopher's Stone.
Brother, do you believe it, then?
That I have become a Philosopher's Stone?
I don't feel like that's
what happened, myself.
After all, the Philosopher's Stone
wouldn't be...
Nobody has ever seen one.
Whatever form it takes,
it wouldn't surprise me.
But never mind that,
don't get too close to me.
Brother...
If we aren't paying
attention and touch again,
it will spark another reaction
with the Philosopher's Stone.
There's no sense in having
you yourself disappear
before we can take your body back.
Brother, where are we going?
Resembool.
That's where the military
will look first.
Those Homunculi are
sure to come after you.
If we're going to beat them,
there's something that we have to get.
Kimbly was apparently
confirmed dead before that red light.
However, at that moment,
Scar was still alive.
It appears that the townspeople fled
outside the city before
the military rushed in.
We've discovered an underground passage,
and we're tracing where it leads now.
Does this mean they
weren't trying to resist?
Was their objective to use
the military as ingredients,
making the whole city
a transmutation circle?
Ed and Al appear to be safe.
Several soldiers witnessed
Ed outside the city.
They said that about an hour ago,
Ed and Al were leaving the area.
Could they be continuing
on their journey? Even so...
I doubt that they were helping Scar
to create a Philosopher's Stone.
Colonel!
28 dead, 67 seriously injured,
including five officers.
There are still over 900 others missing.
We will conduct a thorough
investigation as to what happened.
There is one person
who knows exactly what happened.
Scar, you mean?
The Fullmetal...
The Elric brothers.
For what reason did
they show up in Liore?
We believe that they were pursuing Scar.
Why? Did he have orders to subdue Scar?
No, they were engaged in various fields
of inquiry and alchemic research.
They appeared in Liore,
and had dealings with Scar.
Have as many as a thousand officers
and men become casualties as a result?
It's not as though he has a rope
around the Elric brothers' necks.
I would like to give them a
chance to explain themselves.
Are you saying you will apprehend
them yourself? Very well.
But if you fail to catch them,
you will be the one who
will have to explain himself.
Go with them.
According to my intelligence,
there is a possibility that the
Elric brothers are fighting
alongside a seditious element
that calls themselves Homunculi.
Catch him and bring him back.
If it gets out of hand,
I grant you permission to
pass judgment on him on the spot.
Colonel...
You heard what he said.
Sort through all the information we have
on sightings of the Elric brothers.
Are we really going
to go after Ed and Al?
Those are our orders.
But this was the work of Scar.
It's also partially Archer's
fault for being reckless.
I don't know what went
down here, but the brothers...
The fact is, they've run away.
If we let them go, it's going
to come down on the Colonel.
He said that if things get
out of hand, he was to kill them!
Shall we get going, Colonel?
Yeah.
Did you stay here again all last night?
Huh?
I just don't have a good grasp on
my sense of the passage of time.
How many years has it
been since Trisha died?
It has been six years now.
I see. The children
must have grieved, huh?
Sara Rockbell? But I
thought you were Sara.
I told you before, remember?
I'm Winry. Sara was my mother.
So that's how. The war, huh?
It wasn't just war. They were killed.
And by a soldier who
ordinarily would be their ally.
All because they treated
friends and foes impartially.
That's so sad.
Please don't make it sound
so simple. It's not just sad.
I know the man who killed
both of my parents.
I also know that he is
by no means a bad man.
So I can't even do anything about it.
That's why...
That's why it's so sad.
Winry-san! I'm so hungry!
L-Lt. Ross...
...and Brosh!
You really have come after us,
haven't you!?
It's because we saw something
we weren't supposed to see!
Oh, sure enough, you've come after us!
Sheska!
I never knew...
Those boys don't even
have a home anymore.
What do you mean, those two are
being pursued by the military?
We got an emergency phone call,
from the east.
They said that by the Fuhrer's order,
we were to apprehend the
Fullmetal Alchemist and his brother,
and that they'd had contact with the
masterminds behind the revolt in Liore.
What are those guys doing?
Someone I'm close to
in Communications told me.
Currently, a search party is
being drawn up by Maj. Gen. Hakuro.
Word has probably already
gone out to local police.
Once that happened,
the Lieutenant suddenly took some leave.
And here I thought this would be a date.
It's nice to be able to breathe
the clean air, isn't it?
How can you go to all this trouble
just to tell all this to a wanted man?
What are you talking about!? Even if the
Fuhrer did order it, I don't believe it!
How could those two be rebels?
Uh, I didn't mean...
Still, we don't know whether or not
the two of them are even coming here.
No,
they will come home.
Even without a house to return to,
this is still their home, right?
Besides, you're here, too.
Long ago, there weren't
any railroads into here...
There wasn't even a single road
that went further east, either.
Everyone used to climb the mountain
alongside that stream,
until it finally let out in the east.
We used to play a lot
by that stream, long ago.
That's it! If I were Ed and Al,
I would definitely come that way.
Thanks, Uncle!
Un... cle?
Let's go, Sheska!
Ross-san, you guys stay here!
If the search party shows up,
we'll slow them down as best we can!
Thank you!
There weren't any railroads into here?
But that was over a hundred years ago...
Al, hide!
Brother?
Just take cover!
So ultimately, this is all
just about some promotion?
I wouldn't say that's the whole reason.
He said so, didn't he?
If the Elric brothers get away,
the Colonel will bear full
responsibility for what happened in Liore.
The Colonel will? In that case,
there's not much we can do, huh?
H-Hey there, Edward-kun.
Just as the Colonel predicted.
You're taking the side road to your
hometown that you're used to taking.
Well, let's go.
Move.
Ed-kun...
I'm never going back to the military!
Go ahead and fire! See whether or not
you can shoot through my automail!
Edward-kun, why?
Go ahead and shoot!
Stop!
Havoc-san...
We are not going back.
Al, let's go!
I'm sorry!
Come quietly!
Edward-kun!
If you've got something to say,
we'll listen to you!
We are not your enemy!
You can prove your innocence as much as
you want to during the formal inquiry!
You'll be okay for now.
Do those two seriously mean
to turn against us?
We'll find out when we catch them.
Nobody hesitate next time!
Colonel, um, could you
get into my breast pocket?
Take better care of yourself.
They still couldn't have moved very far.
Probably because they can't
expose Alphonse to the water.
Because of his bloodseal.
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Who was it that told you
about the Elric brothers?
Nobody.
Do you seriously think
that those two are rebels?
We'll know once we catch them
and question them.
You're the one who recruited Ed and Al,
aren't you!? And now this!?
It's no use.
The only thing this man is interested
in is his rank within the military.
Answer me! Was this how it was when
you killed my father and mother, too!?
Brother?
Don't touch me carelessly!
We don't know what will happen!
What are you running for!?
Ed! Al!
Winry!
Because you're chasing us, that's why.
When a dog is chased, he runs away.
A well-trained dog never goes
against his master's orders.
Did you say "master"!?
Or, have you suddenly gone
back to being a stray dog?
Relax, Edward-kun. Even if you were
cursed as a dog of the military,
you would put up with it
in order to achieve your goal.
Isn't that what you said?
I'm through being a dog of the military.
Does this mean you're going
back to being a helpless child
who won't listen to reason?
Call it whatever you want!
You're slipping, Colonel!
Al!
Major!
Sir!
Al!
I transmuted the
stone projectile in mid-air...
...and I compressed the air
within it and ignited it.
An effective attack, was it not?
That must have come in
handy around Ishbal, huh?
Brother...
Stop!!
Please... stop...
Winry...
Once, I killed two people.
They were doctors.
There were no friends or foes
among their patients.
That's what they said as they
treated those around the battlefield.
However, those who they
treated became our enemies.
The military repeatedly
asked them to stop treating them,
but they refused to listen.
I was given an order...
and I... shot them.
Ever since, I swore that
even if I was under orders,
I would not follow anything
that was unreasonable.
That I would put myself in a position
where I didn't have to follow them.
The reason I'm chasing after you
is not because I was ordered to.
It's because I'm pissed off at you!
Why did you run off on your own
without coming to me for protection!?
Fullmetal Alchemist!

you rotten old man!?
