Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

You... performed human transmutation!?

You have committed that
which is most sanctioned!

You've had your bodies
taken over to the other side!

So this is why you have
the title "Fullmetal"!

The Fullmetal Alchemist!

I see, so that's it.

It's no longer any wonder
why a kid like you should bear the stern-sounding
title of "Fullmetal."

Rose, alchemy forbids
the transmutation of gold.

At the same time, there is one
other inherently forbidden practice,

and that is human transmutation!

Alchemy...

...of human transmution.

You miserable, foolish kids!

You dabbled in human transmutation
without knowing its penalties, didn't you!?

No we didn't! We...

Al!

We just wanted...

We just wanted to see our mom's
smiling face once more time...

But you failed!

Yeah. My brother lost his body,
and I lost my left leg and right arm.

This is what happens when two people
try to bring a person back to life.

Rose, this is what it takes
to bring someone back to life.

Are you prepared to go through it!?

There is no need for concern.

I have received this Philosopher's Stone from Leto.

And besides, I am not inexperienced,
the way they were.

Don't be ridiculous! No matter what you offer in return,
there are some things that cannot be done!

Then why do you want
the Philosopher's Stone?

You think that if you had this, you could bring about
your mom's transmutation, right?

You've got it wrong, baldy.

We just want to get
our original bodies back.

That is, if we can get them back.

We'll ask you one more time:
Please give us the Philosopher's Stone.

State Alchemist,
may the wrath of God befall you.

Get down here, third-string, and I'll show you the
difference between our levels!

Wretched fools!

That was close...!

Minister!

Why, you...!

Al!

This way!

You fools! There's only one way out!

If there's no way out...

...I'll just have to make one!

What!

After them! Catch them!

Minister...

That ring...
Are the works of God alchemy?

Whether one calls it alchemy
or not depends on the person.

However, what they cannot do, I am able to.

I've kept you waiting, huh?

Ro... se...

Cain...?

Ro... se...

Cain has had his spirit first
resurrected through the works of Leto.

His body should also become
complete in a few days.

Minister... this is the work of God,
isn't it?

If all we wanted to do was
take the Philosopher's Stone, it's not as though we
couldn't have done it.

This evening, a pair of unbelievers
sought the Minister's life.

What...?

Scum...

One of them is short, and the
other is wearing ancient armor.

- The Minister asks the Faithful to stay inside...

- Over there!

- They aren't here.

- Hey, go check over there!

...so as not to suffer any harm.

No question about it, that's the guy... the short stranger kid!

- Who are you calling an
ultra-hyper-pipsqueak!?

- I never called you all that!

Anyhow, why don't you
just simmer down?

How could you go after the
Minister's life like that!?

Right! How terrible - a sweet boy like you!

Listen, his miracles are
nothing more than alchemy.

By decomposing and
restructuring matter...

That's a lie!

Moments ago, my boyfriend,
Cain, returned to me.

That's terrific, Rose!

After dying in an accident,
Cain has come back to life, huh?

There, you see?
It's not just Rose, either!

Others have come back, too.

She's right!

If that's not a miracle,
then tell me what is!

Has anyone here actually
seen any of those guys!?

Everyone is said to have
left town afterwards...

Silence!

T-The statues of Leto!

It's a miracle!

Al!

Give it back!

So this is the proof that
you are a State Alchemist, is it?

It's the first time ever I've seen one of these.

The reason why you can
perform transmutations without a transmutation circle...

...is because this thing works
like an amplifier, right?

I didn't get any sleep at all.

The bell... it's gone!

Feed it to me! My hands are
like this, and everything.

Was it really...

...your boyfriend?

The Philosopher's Stone
is our secret alone...

...right?

Cain... I'm sorry. I, um, I just had to talk to you a little...

Ro... se...

Minister! Um, I'm terribly sorry about
taking the key without permission.

I'm sorry, Rose. Even with the
power of the Philosopher's Stone,

it was all I could do to offer up
the lives of the birds to God,

in an attempt to replace them
with the life of another, you see.

Perhaps this chimera, which tweets with
Cain's voice, is not to your liking?

Give my regards to Cain.

Ro... se... Ro... se...

There is only one other who knows
the secret of the Philosopher's Stone...

It's dangerous here. Let's go.

Quickly.

Your flim-flamming is going
to be found out soon enough.

The Faithful are not
likely to distinguish
between alchemy and the works of God.

No, in the sense that it brings
happiness to them, they are the same.

So then, what's in it for you?

The basic principle of alchemy
is equivalent exchange.

If you're trying to obtain something, you have to pay for it with
something of appropriate value.

People say that Brother
is a prodigy at it, but it's only because he has paid
the price of enough effort...

...that Brother is who he is now.

You paid the price, didn't you?

An arm, a leg... a whole body...
And yet, now you're
trying to take them back.

About your mother...
what happened to her?

Okay then, I guess
it's time I got started.

So, you are after money, huh?

Ed?

I can get all the money I want
from the donations of the Faithful.

What I want are believers who would
gladly throw their own lives away for me.

They believe in resurrection through me,
and are not afraid to die.

In time, they would
become an invincible army.

Just watch!

In a few years, I will
set out to tear this country apart!

Makes no difference to me.

What!?

After all, you can't really
bring anyone back to life, right?

Of course not! Even if I
used the Philosopher's Stone,

there's no telling what would happen
if I performed human transmutation.

Why, for the sake of the Faithful,
who are nothing more than my pawns...

...would I run the risk of...?

What?!

How long!? How long
has that mic been on!?

For the whole time you've been here.

H-How did you get my
broadcast equipment!?

That was my brother.

Ah, what got
busted up yesterday was just some junk that I transmuted to look like him.

No! It's all a lie!

You must not believe it!

Like I said, I'm on a
whole different level!

Minister, was that broadcast
just now for real?

I do not know what the unbeliever
has broadcast in my voice,

but it was all a conspiracy!

As a testament to this, I will eradicate the unbeliever
by the power of God!

This is the power of God!

It's a miracle!

The statues of Leto...!

Give it up, would you?

Without this, you're limited to
transmuting your own automail, aren't you?

Pops, I'm about to show
you the real hammer of God!

Impossible!

Not even with the Philosopher's Stone
could something so gigantic be moved!

The watch has nothing to do with it.
Brother is the Fullmetal Alchemist!

I won't let you have it! I won't let
you have the Philosopher's Stone!

Rebound!?

An imitation...?

After all the commotion
you've raised......
All just for a fake stone?

Stop jerking me around!

That was quite a wild goose chase, huh?

And here I thought we were finally
going to be able to restore your body.

You should come first, Brother.

That automail is so hard on you,
and all...

Nothing more to do,
but to keep searching, I guess.

How could you do that to us?

To us, the Minister's
miracles gave us hope.

If we believed, even dead people
could come back to life...

That was the only hope we had!

You're saying we should have
left everything the way it was?

What am I supposed to cling to,
as I go on living from now on!?

Tell me!

You'll have to decide
that for yourself.

Get up and walk. Move forward.

You've got some fine legs there,
don't you?

I think Brother did all this for you.

He shouldn't have bothered!

We've seen all sorts of things.

How can this be!?

That thing you gave me wasn't
the real Philosopher's Stone!?

Of course not. This city
is just a decoy, after all.

Those who hear the stories about
the Philosopher's Stone gather here,

and then...

W-Who are you guys?
For what purpose are you here?

Lust, is it okay if I eat this old man?

Where did that miserable
Cornello run away to?

That rotten false minister...!

What is all this?

What went on here?

This is awful...

Minister...?

It's a miracle...

You're sure it's not just another trick?

But they came back to life.

It seems that the Devil
worked wickedness in my absence.

Is everyone all right?

You're the real...
the real Minister, right?

Cornello!

We were deceived by that kid!

That's right!

Envy...

I'm sorry, but we must ask you
to keep that form for a little while.

We've seen all sorts of things.
I'm going to tell you about them.

You must not come down
the same path as us.

That's what I believe.

We were born and raised in a small
village east of Central, named Resembool.

That's where everything began.

Mom!

Mom! Look! Look!

What?

See?

Oh, my!

Brother made it!
I can still only do this.

Incredible, both of you!
You certainly are his children!

Man cannot obtain anything...

...without first sacrificing something.

To obtain anything,
something of equal value is required.

That is alchemy's Law of Equivalent Exchange.

Back then, we believed that
to be the true way of the world.

Fullmetal Alchemist!

Episode Three: "Mother"

I loved Mom's lullabies.

Mom's stew tasted like milk,
but Brother loved it.

That's why we had to...
