Owarinaki tabi no tochuu tachidomarisou na toki
A deep sigh escapes us when we are close to standing still
during this endless journey
Fukai tameiki kobosu bokura wa
Tsukami kakete wa mata hanarete itta
What we manage to grasp leaves us once more
Demo ima wa mou nani mo osoreru koto wa nai
but now there is no longer anything to be afraid of
Kokoro o tsunagu tsuyoi kizuna wa
These strong bonds linking our hearts
will never be broken
Keshite hodoke wa shinai sa
Sagashi tsuzukete tadoritsuita
We continue to search, and we've finally reached
this place and period
Kono basho de PERIOD ni
We'll change this sadness and anger into strength
Kanashimi ikari chikara ni kaete
Destiny is almost within our reach
Unmei wa sugu soba ni
Together with a revived Lan Fan, Ed battles the homunculus Pride.
In the midst of a difficult fight, Ed devises a plan.
He manages to recover Al safely.
However, Pride consumes his fellow homunculus Gluttony,
and obtains his powers.
Meanwhile, Mustang meets up with Hawkeye and the others.
They abduct the Führer's wife, and take her as hostage.
Episode 49
Familial Affection
Al. Wake up.
Hey, Al!
Can you hear me?
Alphonse!
This smell...
Edward Elric.
If I capture you, Hohenheim will be forced into action.
Ed!
Master!
Too bad.
I'm Greed.
You...
Give Master his body back!
I'm afraid I can't do that.
Whoa! Here it comes!
Are you okay?!
I didn't ask for your help!
Shut up.
Your arm isn't in prime condition yet, is it?
You don't need to worry about me.
Focus on your own well-being.
I'll need you later.
Keep going!
I'm sorry. I couldn't finish him off.
Hah! Don't sweat it.
If we can't take him down, so what?
Even I think he's a monster.
Alphonse, wake up!
Huh? Father?
Hey.
Uh, the fact that you're here... means this is Canama?
Yes.
Why am I... when?
That's right! Pride!
Father! The homunculus, Pride, he got inside me...
Yeah.
I heard everything from Gorius-san.
It's Darius.
Damn...
He interfered with my soul somehow. It felt horrible.
They're like an offshoot of an offshoot of me.
It may be easier for them to affect you, since you're my son.
Old man Hu.
I leave his treatment to you.
How are things going on your end?
You are Edward's father?
Yes.
That shadow monster ate the one called Gluttony. We can't get a handle on him.
Greed and Edward are fighting back, but it doesn't look good.
It's my fault.
I let Pride catch me. I put everyone in this predicament.
There are too many sources of light in a fire, and we've used up all our flashbangs.
We need a new tactic.
This is bad.
If this keeps up, the residents of the slum will also be affected...
Father...
Father, aren't you an able alchemist?
Hmm? Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.
I'm counting on your skill. I have a favor to ask of you.
Well...
It's getting much easier to see now.
It's no use hiding in the shadows.
Your scent gives you away.
Damn...
Hey, you alive?
Somehow.
Greed, should you really be worrying about others?
I wonder how much longer it is until you're dead.
Monster.
You're awfully rude to your brother, Greed.
May I eat you?
If you ate me you'd get an upset stomach, Brother.
Oh? So you finally decided to show up, Hohenheim.
Heroes are supposed to come late.
Hero? You mean you're here to defeat me?
Nah, no way.
You're scary as hell.
What is he thinking?
Is he after something?
Here he comes...
Heh. Such a pathetic strategy.
Give up already.
Al!
To think he'd return just to be my hostage.
Your son's pretty whimsical.
Don't make fun...
of my son!
Hohenheim!
Amazing. He sealed him up.
What the hell? You sealed Al up with him!
What do you think you're doing, bastard?!
This isn't my plan.
Al proposed this.
Hah, that went well.
Now you can't use your powers.
Should you be laughing? You can't get out of here, either.
If you try to escape, and make the slightest opening, I'll use the shadow to-
I never intended to escape.
I propose a test of endurance, Selim.
Or should I say Pride, the homunculus.
My body doesn't need oxygen, light or food.
Until the day is done, until the Promised Day ends,
you will stay right here with me.
It would be difficult to defeat Pride as he is now.
But if we continued to fight him, the damage to surrounding areas would become significant.
In that case, it would be best to offer oneself as a decoy, and try to lock him down.
Now, we've bought ourselves time to think of a plan.
But, you didn't even discuss this with me-
He knew that if I discussed it with you, you'd disagree.
This is what he thought of to save everyone's lives.
Understand.
Well, gotta put out these flames first.
Al!
Brother!
Al!
Sorry. We were just about to be reunited, too...
But, this incident happened all because of me.
Also, this will just be for one day.
I'm fine, Brother.
Lust is gone. Envy is gone.
Gluttony is out of the picture.
Wrath is at the eastern exercises.
Pride is immobilized.
Pops and Sloth are the only ones left in Central.
Greed! What are you thinking of doing?!
Didn't I tell you?
I'm going to become the king of this world.
Somehow, there seems to be more Ishbalans in Central these days.
Yeah, it seems like there are groups of them living in the abandoned buildings west of here.
Speaking of Ishbalans, what happened to that guy with the cross-shaped scar?
Hey, the guy with the cross-shaped scar.
Speak of the devil.
I'm looking for a slum called Canama.
Huh? Canama is to the south, in the forest on the outskirts of town.
I see. Thanks.
Oh yeah, is she not with you?
That girl, with the black and white cat.
She was just here.
What was that?!
Didn't she go home?
What's she up to?
Oh, guys, you finally did it!
What are you talking about?
Wasn't it you guys? You blew Bradley up in his train in the Eastern Territory.
Blew up?!
Oh? Am I wrong?
This is the first I've heard of it.
Oh, I thought for sure that you teamed up with a bunch of your Ishbalan friends, and did it.
Well, that's how all the rumors are painting you folks.
They aren't gathering for anything like that.
They're allies of mine, trying to change this country through ways other than terrorism.
I've got to control my love for my work.
My brilliant new suit is dirty now.
Even though the real battle starts after the sun rises.
It's useless.
I don't think he made it so that a child could do anything against it.
This is what happens when you mock humanity.
You guys don't understand anything about humans.
You shouldn't always think that things will go your way.
Even that last plan of yours was sloppy to me.
Sloppy?
Yeah. Calling us Sacrifices and using us.
It seems like you're trying to do something.
But if any of us decided to save our lives and flee abroad,
then your plans would come to nothing.
Indeed, there are humans who only think of themselves.
However... yes, for instance, Wrath's wife.
One time, I was about to be hit by a car in the middle of town.
At that time, she tried to shield me with her body.
Even though she didn't know I was a homunculus,
her desperation bewildered me.
I have a father, but I had never known what it was to have a mother.
Truth be told, it was fascinating.
I thought, "so this is what it is to have a mother".
Wrath's wife... You mean Bradley's wife, right?
Yes.
I can't believe you would fool such a nice person.
Certainly, it was a game of house.
However, it was a fun life.
I liked it.
Then-
Humans...
There are humans, like Wrath's wife, who would throw away their lives to protect something precious.
To say nothing of you, who have been chosen as human sacrifices.
Among all humans, you have the strongest hearts.
You cannot abandon this country and flee.
In fact, you returned here to fight.
There is nothing sloppy about our plan.
Colonel.
It's time.
Yeah.
Let's go, First Lieutenant.
What is this?!
What on earth happened?
And what's this mountain?
Well, if it isn't Jerso and Zampano!
Darius!
Bastard, aren't you here on orders from Kimblee to finish us off?
Huh? What're you talking about?
It's been ages since I quit being Kimblee's underling!
You're just saying that so that we'll lower our guard, making it easier for you to kill us!
As if that would happen!
We can't trust you!
Didn't you hide with Heinkel and try to attack us before?!
Marcoh-san!
You idiot!
Who's the idiot?!
Edward-kun.
What the hell, you pig.
Zampano's the pig!
Scar's here too.
What the hell did you say?!
This damn gorilla said it!
Sorry to ask this right after arriving, but we need to talk-
Shut up!
Damn it, will the pig and the fatty and the gorilla stop fighting?!
Are you looking for a fight?!
What, you guys really quit serving Kimblee?
We knew he was just going to use us and abandon us if we stayed with him.
Totally.
Well, thanks to him I got this disgusting body.
Feels good, man.
Yeah.
Besides, these guys won't abandon us.
When the sun rises, it will finally start.
Yeah.
I hope everyone lives.
Oh, looks like they came to an agreement on something.
Where'd the old man go off to?
He went to check on the town.
By himself?
Yeah.
He said that he's the only one among us that the enemy doesn't know of,
so it'll be easier for him to get things done.
He said he was going to find out about Colonel Mustang's movements.
But, I suspect he's most worried about Lin's whereabouts.
Ah, I see.
So your talks with Scar's group are over?
Yeah.
We've decided on a plan.
I see. It's about time.
Your little brother's really something.
He's all alone with that monster in the dark.
I'd go nuts if it was me.
Yeah.
Al is hanging in there.
All that's left is for us is to do our part.
This is the start...
...of the Promised Day.
Promises that were never made
Kawashita hazu no nai yakusoku ga

will try and
take away our future today, too
Bokura no mirai o ubaou to suru

Even if I obtain what I had wanted

I wonder why
I still can't smile naturally
Umaku waraenai no wa naze darou
Afureru namida wa yowasa ya koukai ja nai
These tears that brim are neither of weakness nor regret
Itami ga unda kakera de
They're fragments arising from pain
Donna shunkan datte unmei datte
No matter what moment or destiny
there is one thing I know to be certain
Hitotsu dake tashika na mono ga aru to shitta
Genkai datte konnan datte
No matter my limits or any difficulties
I don't want to give up
Akirametakunai yo
Don't just leave me like this
Kono mama hanasanaide
Kataku nigirishimeta kimi no migite no nukumori
The warmth of your right hand tightly clasped in mine
is here for me
Koko ni aru kara
Brother! Brother!
Denny, come on!
Shut up...
What...
Hurry up and get out of bed. It's gonna start!
What's gonna start?
The eclipse!
Eclipse?
Come on, what time do you think it is?
It's not time for the eclipse yet.
Hey, don't look at the Sun! You'll burn out your eyes!
I know that much.
Hey Brother, come here!
There's smoke rising from the town!
You two, don't go outside today.
Sedi Company, of Western Ward, has encountered Mustang in sector C75.
They've engaged him.
However, they've taken the wife of the Führer hostage, so it's difficult for us to do anything.
I don't care.
Commence the attack.
Sir...
As long as Roy Mustang is left alive, that's fine.
The wife is of no use.
Wipe out all of his subordinates.
Freeze!
Will you shoot?
You may shoot everyone but Colonel Mustang.
The public, long used to peace, is not aware of the danger before their very eyes.
They cannot imagine the destruction heading their way.

Episode 50, "Upheaval in Central".
The weak will be lost, and the strong will trample them down.
That is war.
