Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The Freezing Alchemist? Really. He's here?

We have information that he managed to slip

into Central a few days ago.

That's why I've summoned you here, Colonel.

I need you and your men to smoke him out, and bring him in.

Consider it done, sir.

I'm glad you're with us in Central for a while, Mustang.

It's good to know I have people here I can count on.

- Sir. - Ah, one last thing.

Our rising young star is here as well.

I'm placing him at your disposal.

Forgive me, Fuhrer Bradley, but...

just to be clear, are you referring to--?

I am...The Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward Elric.

Ah, dammit. The colonel's never gonna let us outta here, is he?

We already bought our tickets for

Liore, too. Does this mean we're not going?

I don't know, Al.

For now, let's just get this over with, OK?

Lead the way, brother.

What, you don't got enough life left? Kono omoi wo keshiteshimau niwa

To wipe these feelings out? Mada jinsei nagai desho?

To wipe these feelings out?

To wipe these feelings out?

To try to make right Yarinokoshiteru koto

the things you left undone. Yarinaoshite mitai kara

We try chasing down ways to further our dream, Yume no tsuzuki oikaketeita hazu nanoni

but then we trip over people on the narrow path that winds. Magarikunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku

It's nothing like wanting to go back to those days. Ano koro mitainitte modoritai wake ja nai no

I'm searching for a sky that doesn't exist anymore. Nakushitekita sora wo sagashiteru

Don't give me that sad face Wakatte kuremasu youni

like I've become the victim, like you understand. Gisei ni natta youna kanashii kao wa yameteyo

Tears aren't the end of sin. Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo

You carry it heavy on your back forever. Zutto kurushiku seottekunda

Who is it you're waiting for in this maze of emotion, Deguchi mienai kanjoumeiro ni

you can't find your way out of? Dare wo matteruno?

I want to let it all spill already Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta youni

like I was writing in a blank notebook. Motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo

What're you're trying to get away from, Nani kara nogaretainda

this thing we call reality? Genjitsu tte yatsu?

We live for each other, Kanaeru tame ni ikiterundatte

can you hear me starting to scream? Sakebitaku naru yo kikoeteimasuka?

Because we can't play it safe or sound anymore, Bunan ni nante yatterarenaikara

and we don't have a place to go home to. Kaeru basho mo nai no

You're always thanking me for being kind. Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kansha shiteru

That's why I want to get stronger. (I'm on the way) Dakara tsuyoku naritai (I'm on the way)

Just like old times. Natsukashiku naru

This is the kind of pain I love. Konna itami mo kangei jan

There he goes! That way!

You, halt! Halt or I'll shoot!

Ahh!

Water freezes. Water boils.

Either way, you're just as dead.

That's alchemy...

What a nasty thing to do.

You of all people should know:

Great deeds require great sacrifice!

Isn't that the law of equivalent exchange?!

Save your breath. The laws of alchemy don't justify murder!

No transmutation circle?!

Don't be too impressed.

Now!

Huh!

Ugh!

Yah!

Ugh!

What?!

Ahh!

No! I had you!

Any water in there should've boiled!

If it's any consolation, you did ruin my coat.

An Automail arm.

A young, gifted alchemist...

One who doesn't use transmutation circles...

and who has an Automail right arm!

I know you.

You are the Fullmetal Alchemist! Edward Elric!

Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Alchemist

So it's not you?

Oh, um. No. I'm his younger brother, Alphonse.

But he's a runt!

Oh yeah?! Can a runt do this?!

Ooh!

I've heard the stories, but still, I never imagined this.

The Fullmetal Alchemist is just a little kid!

Don't call me little! Ooh!

You know, Brother, I don't think he was really

talking about your height just now.

Well, even if he wasn't he still pissed me off!

So you're the one we've been hearing

all the stories about lately -- The Fullmetal Alchemist!

You're as good as they say. Thanks for the help.

Um, You're welcome, but...

I'm really not the one you should be thanking.

There!

C'mon, let's get goin', Al. We've got a train to catch.

Oh, okay, if you think it's alright to leave.

Ha!

Huh?

What is that? Steam?

Brother! He's gone!

Dammit, now he really pissed me off!

Looks like you underestimated

your opponent, Fullmetal.

Who is this guy, anyway?

You'd know that if you listened to the briefing

like I told you to.

But no, you had to go charging right after hi--

Yeah, yeah! I get it, all right?

I'm sorry, 'kay? Whatever.

Next time a superior tells you to pay attention,

you might just try it.

Fine.

Now then... His name is Isaac McDougal.

Or, as he was known back in the day, "Isaac the Freezer."

He's a former State Alchemist.

Former?

That's right.

He served in the Ishvalan War.

During that time, he gave us no signs

that he'd turned traitor.

But after, he immediately resigned his commission

and went into hiding. He's been working with

the antiestablishment movement ever since.

Taking him into custody is a matter of top priority.

Whether it's dead or alive, that's up to him.

No way. I'm not killing anyone for you.

And that's your choice.

Your orders are simply to help us contain him.

That's all.

Hmph. Off topic...

Have you turned up any leads

for getting your bodies back to normal?

Maybe if you ever gave us time to look!

Roy! How goes? Heard you let 'em

put you in charge of catching the Freezer, huh?

One hell of a nasty assignment.

But hey, could be your chance to earn that promotion to Central!

Oh, say! Looks like my timing was perfect!

You two are the Elric brothers, right?

Wow, it's an honor to finally meet

the youngest State Alchemist ever.

You're a real legend around here.

I'm Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes. A pleasure.

Um, you want Edward.

I'm actually his younger brother, Alphonse.

What?! You're the Fullmetal Alchemist?

Sorry, I had no idea you'd be so --

Go on, say "little." I dare you.

Hughes.

Yeah?

What are you doing here? Go home.

Actually, I'm here on official business.

You. Elrics, I understand that

you two don't have a place to stay,

which means you'll have to come with me.

Huh?

Ahh!

My wife Gracia and my daughter Elicia.

We'd love to have you!

Hi, princess!

Ow! Daddy, your beard is itchy!

Like this? Itchy! Itchy!

Look! We have guests! These are the Elric brothers.

Big brother!

Little brother!

Urg!

Nice to meet you. My name is Edward Elric.

This is my younger brother, Alphonse Elric.

Get that? Youn...ger bro...ther!

But younger means little.

You're little!

Where do you get off!

Just let it go, Ed.

These people are being nice to let us stay here.

Hope you boys are hungry.

Gracia's cooking is delicious.

Whoa!

Ok, eat up.

Thanks...!

Wow, you weren't kidding!

This is great!

Don't be shy, eat all you want!

O-K!

Alphonse, how're you gonna eat wearing that armor?

Take it off, relax!

W-well, you see, uh...

He's not allowed to! He has to wear it

all the time! It's, uh --

It's part of his alchemy training!

You know how it is.

But I'll eat enough for both of us!

Training! Ch-choo!

Central Prison

Hands down, that's got to be the funniest

joke I've heard in a long, long time.

The Freezing Alchemist wants me to

come play his sidekick. Well, as fun as that sounds,

The Crimson Alchemist works alone.

I always have.
