Fullmetal Alchemist (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 6 - Kokka renkinjutsushi shikaku shiken - full transcript
Once in Central City, Ed and Al move into the vast mansion of the Sewing-Life Alchemist Shou Tucker and begin to prepare for the Alchemy exam.
So, boys, you're really
convinced you're ready for this.
That's right. Just tell me
what to wear to graduation.
Careful, Ed. I'd hate
for you to get cocky.
As you know, you find your own training.
I suggest him.
The Sewing-Life Alchemist, huh?
Shou Tucker. He practically wrote
the book on bringing things to life.
That's how it started.
We'd spend the months before the exam
living at the Tucker estate.
Humankind cannot gain anything without
first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of
equal value must be lost.
That is alchemy's first
Law of Equivalent Exchange...
In those days, we really believed that
to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Take the memories of distant days,
tear them up with your own hands,
and squeeze the life
out of your sorrows for me.
Come on, and pierce my heart
as it yearns for your love!
Looking at the sky,
thinking tomorrow must be coming,
it's too much for my
captivated heart to take.
As a bird flutters along beside me.
I wonder where he
managed to find his light.
Say, would you carry me
along on your back as well?
And leave me at the
highest place there is,
far away from kindness?
Take the memories of distant days,
tear them up with your own hands,
and squeeze the life
out of your sorrows for me.
Come on, and pierce my heart
as it yearns for your love!
Two years ago, Mr. Tucker used alchemy
to create a Chimera that could
actually speak our language.
Quite a feat.
How the heck did he do that?
Beats me.
I guess it was some kind of composite
using several animals
with different genes.
Had the brass in an uproar.
Needless to say, he's passed the exam.
Sounds awesome.
Yeah.
Now it's not just the two of you.
Mr. Tucker has a four year-old.
So be polite.
What about his wife? Isn't he married?
Let's go in.
That's his house?
It's so-
Yeah. It's pretty big.
Come on, boys, the door's over here.
Right, sorry.
Coming!
Guess everything's big here.
You know that's bad, Alexander!
Oh, my I'm sorry.
No prob. Just don't say roll over.
Sorry about the mess.
We just lack a woman's touch here.
Oh, that was sexist, wasn't it?
I've been so out of sorts lately.
Hey daddy Bigger brother's
clothes are funny.
They're like our pots and pans.
Aren't they heavy?
That's okay.
Bigger brother is very strong.
Mr. Tucker,
I'm sure you'll have a chance to talk
to these boys about their unusual traits.
Until then, please,
just take them as they are.
Nina, why don't you play
in the courtyard for a while.
I bet Alexander's lonely.
We'll play later, okay?
Sometimes I wonder if I have
the vigor to raise her right.
You're so young to be taking
the exam! I'm happy to help.
And we thank you for it, Mr. Tucker.
To start, we'd love to see
that Chimera you created.
The talking one!
I'm sorry, you've come to late.
It-- died shortly after it was made.
Besides, studying for the exam
comes first. It's a monster.
You'll need much more than an
overnight cram session to pass.
Wow!
This is the reference room.
You're welcome to it.
I've never seen so many books.
And they're all about alchemy?
This collection is nothing, really.
You should see the Alchemy floor they
have in the National Library, in Central.
Books are the best tools we have.
Pass your exam,
and you'll have access to dozens- no,
hundreds-of times more knowledge.
Really?
Brother! We should get started.
He already has.
Edward, making progress in your studies?
Yes sir, some. But I've gotta speed up,
there's so much I don't know.
Yes, the more steps we take forward,
the longer we see the path is ahead.
But you're so young, you needn't worry
about taking the exam this year.
No!
I don't care what the odds are.
I don't care how long the path is.
I'm going to take this test.
I don't make excuses.
Bigger brother isn't eating his dinner!
That won't do! You have
to eat to get grown-up!
I think I'm plenty...
Thanks. Wow. It sure looks delicious!
Make sure you chew!
Mmmm! Yeah! This tastes great!
Good. Now eat this steak.
You still up?
My head is too full with
all the stuff I learned.
Yeah. Ed?
Get some sleep. You shouldn't worry.
You're smart, and determined.
You'll pass.
Maybe.
It's nice here, though, isn't it?
Kinda like before.
In those days,
the two of us wanted nothing more
than to become State Alchemists.
We felt like once we did,
this great big door would just open up.
Ah, no, it's that late already?
Yo, Alphonse! Where are you?
Let's hope the dog didn't
think he was a hydrant.
Al?
Hey, brother.
We made angels brother! Come look!
I wish you could stay,
I mean after you pass the test.
It gets lonely with just Dad.
What are you drawing,
little big brother?
A Transmutation Circle. See, if I
have a wish, it helps it come true.
Okay.
Now watch this.
You made me magic flowers!
Decent work.
Major Hughes!
Hey I came for you. Ed, gotta keep you
from studying through your birthday.
He's right. That's today!
How did you know that?
I haven't told anyone yet.
I'm in the Investigations Department.
Wouldn't make much of a major
if I couldn't manage that.
Don't look sad, you're all coming.
I can't throw a birthday dinner
and not invite his friends, right?
Welcome, kids.
I've heard lots about you.
This is my lovely wife, Gracia.
Your stomach's a melon!
Yes, yes.
You're having a baby? Soon?
Any day. There's a big
fuss inside my belly
saying she wants to come out
and see the world.
Really?
Wanna feel?
Eee! Heck no!
I do, Mrs. Hughes.
Well go ahead, Nina.
I felt it! It moved! It feels funny!
Who wants refills
on their birthday tea?
Sounds wonderful.
Gracia!
Honey! It's here.
The tea?
The baby.
But, but the doctor said next week!
Well the baby just said now.
And I'm pretty sure she gets to choose.
Okay. I'll get your bags.
But the snow! It's a blizzard outside!
Right, you can't leave. I'll bring
the doctor here! You kids help her!
How do we do that?
I guess this counts as party games.
Okay, I've got the hot water bowl.
Thanks, Edward.
Set it on the floor, next to me.
Okay-- what else?
Well, let's see. I guess I'll
need a lot of fresh towels.
Okay. I'm just glad your pain's passed.
He's been gone for so long.
Yeah. He probably had to walk.
I can't do this! I'm dying!
What are we supposed to do?
She said she's gonna die!
That's just an expression!
Listen, she's not dead,
she just fell asleep!
I don't know. If you think
of it like alchemy,
making a life's expensive.
You'd have to give something up!
Childbirth is not alchemy you dope!
Look, she's alive! Can I do anything,
Mrs. Hughes?
You could all stop yelling!
Damn it all. Alchemy's
the ultimate science--
There has to be some
way it can help her!
Little big brother.
The water's very cold.
Ed, what did you do?
I have no clue!
You heated the water. Alchemy!
How did you use alchemy
without a Transmutation Circle?
I don't know! I just used my head!
I can feel its head now!
She can feel its head! What's that mean?
Deliver it!
I'm not touching baby stuff!
I can't believe she's
so beautiful, Gracia.
It's all thanks to you kids.
I couldn't have done it without the
other birthday boy and his friends.
We didn't do anything.
You were right by my side.
This alchemy stuff didn't
really help her out at all,
nothing a water heater couldn't do.
Yeah.
Now moms, on the other hand,
there's your miracle.
Gracia did something tonight
alchemists couldn't do in a
thousand years, no strings attached.
Our mom did it, too.
Al-- You okay?
You think I was that soft
when I was born? And warm?
Of course you were.
You were still soft when you were five.
Yeah.
After the birth, we dove into the
alchemy books with new determination.
We were going to pass our exams, and get
our bodies back the way they were.
I've been thinking, brother.
That night at the Hughes'.
You changed the water without a circle.
Most people can't do that.
But it was just a fluke.
I haven't been able to do it since then.
Still, you showed it was possible.
I need to learn how, too.
Okay- how bout I quiz you twice as much?
Okay!
E-day, as we called it,
was fast approaching.
It's always the same. Written test,
then an interview, then practical skills.
There's no way to know
how many people will apply.
But the state only accepts
one or two each year.
One or two people? You're kidding me!
It's rough.
Uh, what kind of stuff do
they do in the interview?
That varies, I think.
With me they just asked questions,
but I've heard physical exams
are pretty common, too.
Uh... You don't say.
After that,
if you pass the first two,
you move on to the hardest challenge,
the practical skills.
Half bring results of their research,
like I did,
and half perform on the spot.
You boys have a plan, right?
Damn it, what am I gonna do? I didn't
think I'd need a demonstration.
And what about a physical?
They could open up my armor,
and find out there's nothing inside.
Hey, maybe you can stuff Alexander in
there and pretend you're a talking dog.
I don't think that's very funny.
With our anxiety piling high,
E-day finally came.
We hoped if we could
pass the written part,
Colonel Mustang would help with the rest.
We'll now commence the
preliminary exam. Good luck.
Begin!
Big brothers! How'd it go?
I didn't finish, and my wrist
feels like spaghetti.
I got through it,
but next comes the interview.
I never imagined that the
younger one would pass it, too.
Is that a problem, sir?
There's gotta be a way.
No! You can't say that!
I've worked so hard, for months!
I'm not dropping out now!
If you want to go on without revealing
your past, you have no choice.
That's not good enough! I'm not
getting split from my brother!
Easy, Al.
You remember what
Aunt Pinako said, right?
State Alchemists are military,
and get thrown into service
whenever wars break out.
You have to do what they say,
even hurt people, for some
good you don't understand.
It means you're a dog of the state,
with a leash around your neck.
But Ed--
One of us has to join to get what
we need, but we both don't have to.
Let me go alone,
and I promise I'll fix things--
get us back how we were.
Brother.
A chair with three legs.
It shouldn't keep its balance.
Take a seat. Alchemy is
the science of balance.
If you have the gift,
it will not refuse you.
Go on, then.
State Alchemists are also not afraid.
Very good. Now, tell me why you wish
to be an alchemist for our military.
Um, because...
I'm waiting.
Because I made a promise.
To the only family I've got.
I told him I'd become an alchemist
in service to the state.
And take all the good
and bad that comes with it.
Al.
Do you think we decided right?
Chose the right path?
I don't know, brother.
But I do know this;
I don't want to be in this suit anymore.
I want to feel things again.
It's strange. We've been right
beside each other all this time.
But I can't remember what your
skin feels like, or how you smell.
And then, the day of the practicals.
I'm off.
Uh... Not yet!
Go on, Nina.
I made something for you.
It's a circle to help your wish!
It's great. Thanks, Nina.
Welcome to the practical skills exam.
We've provided you with some nice
raw materials for your alchemy.
You may use them to create
whatever you see fit.
Gee, nice guidelines. What the heck am
I supposed to create to impress them?
Impressive detail. But he used so
much energy, he can't even stand up.
You can't get tired?
Outta the way-- I'm next.
What's he cooking?
I hope that little big brother's okay.
Don't worry. You gave him
your circle, remember?
Nicely done.
Trees and water into
a hydrogen paper blimp.
That's not good.
Look out!
Alchemy without circles.
I think we've found our alchemist.
Youngest we've had.
Magic flowers!

Al?
Hm?
Today marks a big turning
point for us, you know.
It's full speed ahead now. And if dead
ends come, then we'll find another way.
Someday- I swear
I'll get you back the way you were.
Uh-huh. And when that day comes,
your full body will be there, too.
''Older Brother - 12'' ''Younger Brother - 1 1''
With you always being in sight,
I can manage to draw breath.
And if it's for me, then that ought
to be enough, by itself, and yet...
All little old me ever does is
repeat the same old mistakes.
How much strength do I need to come by
before I can get by
without hurting anything?
I am not going to stray,
I'm going to trust this love,
and with it I will go on living!
I'm going to take these wounds,
the ones that will not close,
and I am going to squeeze them tight!
The two of us will keep on walking,
and never come back again.
Even now, deep within my heart,
this indelible sin still pains me.

Al?
Hm?
Today marks a big turning
point for us, you know.
It's full speed ahead now. And if dead
ends come, then we'll find another way.
Someday- I swear
I'll get you back the way you were.
Uh-huh. And when that day comes,
your full body will be there, too.

With you always being in sight,
I can manage to draw breath.
And if it's for me, then that ought
to be enough, by itself, and yet...
All little old me ever does is
repeat the same old mistakes.
How much strength do I need to come by
before I can get by
without hurting anything?
I am not going to stray,
I'm going to trust this love,
and with it I will go on living!
I'm going to take these wounds,
the ones that will not close,
and I am going to squeeze them tight!
The two of us will keep on walking,
and never come back again.
Even now, deep within my heart,
this indelible sin still pains me.
