So, you're saying you can't tell us, no matter what? You see, there's this alien Sheska, keep quiet.

Still, you couldn't have wound up in the power distribution station just because you'd lost your way, right? What exactly were you doing in there? Sergeant What are you going to do now? Um, Lt.

Ross There's something going on within the military.

Something very dangerous.

Thanks.

Winry-san, what do we do now? I'm going back to Resembool for now.

I'd like to talk to Ed and Al, but I don't know where they are.

Then, what should I do? What are you talking about? You're coming with me! But what about my books at home? Leave them there.

I can take this off now, right? Be my guest.

Ah, that's better.

The Crimson! Well, well, if it isn't the Flame Major, make that Colonel.

Is something the matter? Archer! What is the meaning of this!? Do you have some issue with the Crimson Alchemist, Lt.

Col.

Zolf J.

Kimbly? Lt.

Colonel!? The Lt.

Colonel was imprisoned on false charges, and just before he was subjected to unlawful human experimentation at the 5th Laboratory, he made a successful escape.

Thanks to the Lt.

Colonel's testimony, the facts about the 5th Laboratory are coming to light.

False charges!? That's outrageous! Do not forget that for this operation, the Fuhrer has granted me the rank of colonel.

By the way, who was that telephone call from? Oh, do you know of a town called Liore? What's that? Man cannot obtain anything without first sacrificing something.

In order to obtain anything, something of equal value is required.

That is alchemy's Law of Equivalent Exchange.

At the time, we believed that to be the true way of the world So, you're the one Yeah.

I k*lled Greed.

Brother! What good does it do to say that now? Martel, I don't know what you were thinking, but to me, you and Greed were both criminals who kidnapped my brother.

What's more, he also k*lled Dante-san.

Martel-san! Look out! A snake? You're not who I'm after.

Greed-san chose death, rather than being sealed up again.

He was, more than anything, a proud man.

And so, I believe he wanted to be defeated by you.

The ones who I detest are the military, who k*lled my friends, and those two who dress all in black, as well as the man who betrayed my friends Kimbly! Why don't you eat it? They're nutritious.

Why don't you eat it? Oh, my.

If I did that, it would be cannibalism, wouldn't it? We're getting close to Liore, huh? Yeah.

I wonder how Rose-san is doing.

Who's that? Don't pretend you've forgotten.

Brother, you've been a little worried about her, right? Hey, Martel, how soon before we get to Ishbal? We're here.

We've long since entered Ishbal.

This is Ishbal? There's nothing here, huh Brother? We need some way to find Scar, but this What exactly are you looking for, anyhow? A Philosopher's Stone.

There was a man who said they had created a Philosopher's Stone before Ishbal was destroyed.

That can't be true.

They offered no resistance, and were k*lled before they had a chance to take up arms.

No way they offered no resistance! The military and Ishbal had a long and tense military relationship.

Then, an incident where a soldier mistakenly shot a civilian took place, and the Ishbalans rose up.

So that's really how it was presented I didn't know.

I was in that laboratory for a little over fourteen years.

Since just after the civil w*r in Ishbal broke out? Thanks to being turned into a Chimera, I may look young, but I'm your fairly older sister.

You mean aunt Sorry.

We were a special operations unit.

We weren't told what our destination was, or what the details of our mission were until the last moment.

That's the way they usually did it.

What's going on!? Something terrible is happening! What's going on? - The mission we had been given - I don't know! - Was to infiltrate the Ishbalan city, - But people are being k*lled! - and conduct large-scale subversive activities.

- In any case, - and conduct large-scale subversive activities.

- Let's get ourselves someplace safe! It was under the pretext of preventing them from carrying out acts of terrorism that they were planning to commit against Central.

And you're saying that's what brought about the Ishbalan uprising? What reason would the military have for starting a w*r with Ishbal!? I don't know what the reason was.

There, you see!? But I do have proof.

I don't get it.

Just listen to me.

Right after the Ishbalan w*r started, we were placed in custody.

Anyone who resisted Damn it! What's going on here!? We were following military orders! Those who survived were taken to the 5th Laboratory.

Dolcetto! Martel! What is this? Martel! They made you a Chimera.

The military tried to completely silence us.

Why? Because you knew a secret that absolutely could not be leaked out the truth about the start of the w*r.

But why? Why would the military provoke Ishbal!? - Someone's there? - What? It's a lead! You're not getting away! Now then, let's have you tell me what you're doing here.

T-This is an area off-limits to civilians.

We're here to check on the security of the old Ishbalan cities.

Then you could have just shown yourselves, instead of sneaking around, right? Yeah.

He may not look it, but my brother is a State Alchemist.

What are you guys, moles? Brother, could it be that those men are? Yo You guys Then, the colonel is here, too? Well, well, aren't you a familiar face? Yeah, yeah, same old shrimp who's so small you'd lose sight of him among the grains of sand Who are you calling that!? I hear you've been raising hell all over the place.

The Southern Command Center, as well as the Ishbalan escort train.

Anyhow, you're under my command from now on.

Just a moment, please! You're lucky that Havoc caught you when they were out scouting.

But we're supposed to have permission to continue our journey independently.

However, once called up, I become a dog of the military.

Brother They've come all the way out to this remote region in a military transport train Don't tell me there's a w*r.

We're just quelling a somewhat seditious area.

Our target is a town about two kilos south-southeast of here.

You're pretty heavily armed, considering.

Are we? Shall I tell you why you're here? It's Scar, right? We were just looking for him ourselves.

What are your reasons for pursuing Scar? If we don't put him down, he's going to make a lot of trouble.

Oh, Alphonse-kun, you don't have to force yourself to pretend you're eating.

Y-Yes, you're right.

I'll k*ll that woman! What's that? The latest photographs from our surveillance balloon.

Is that? It couldn't be A transmutation circle made from the whole city? - Who would do such a thing? - I won! Scar.

So it is him? Edward-kun, do you know what his objective is? No.

So, what town is this? The town is named Liore.

Last year, the tyrannical priest over the town retired, and peace has just barely returned with the stationing of troops there.

Sgt.

Fuery He knows.

Liore, you say? An armed uprising in Liore? This shouldn't be happening! We put down that bogus priest, and brought peace to the city! No.

After that, the people divided into a priest faction and a citizens faction, and there has been terrible confusion.

When the military went in to gather a situation report, both factions stood against them.

Why didn't you tell me about this!? I was involved in this from the start! I heard the report from Hughes, but I kept it back.

Why!? Because it was too much for you to handle.

Don't Ed-kun and Al-kun know about Brig.

Gen.

Hughes? Apparently not.

If he tells them now, they'd probably just dash back to Central, and all.

He is an important military asset, and everything.

Edward-kun and his brother are in a dangerous position right now.

He probably wants to have them in a place where he can keep his eye on them.

Um, is my brother here? You will give me first priority when reporting.

And, if you will observe my earlier conditions, I will grant you permission.

Ed! What are you doing here!? At his insistence, I am having him reconnoiter the town of Liore.

You're sending one of our precious State Alchemists out to sightsee? Which is exactly why no matter what happens, he will come back to us alive.

Besides, he knows more about Liore than anyone.

Please put your mind at ease.

He said he would leave his brother here.

He's not about to leave his dear brother here and disappear by himself on us, right? Why didn't you tell me!? If I'd told you, would you have given me permission? You've learned about Liore, and now you're confused.

That's why I'm going to go cool my head.

Phew, it was hot in there.

Be careful.

The way the military sees it, you're a wanted person.

Brother, are you serious about this? You're going to Liore alone? Leaving you behind was the bargaining point.

Archer doesn't trust us at all.

I wonder if that transmutation circle is for a Philosopher's Stone.

If it is, I'm going to destroy it.

Martel, behave yourself.

I know.

I held myself back in front of that Archer guy earlier, didn't I? I'm going to k*ll those guys in black and Kimbly first.

Taking my revenge against the military comes after that.

I'm not going to let you do that, you know.

Brother, be really careful, okay? Yeah.

M-Major You're here? Col.

Archer said to leave your silver watch here.

Oh yeah.

I guess it would be trouble if someone found out my position.

Edward Elric, why did you come here? Fate, maybe? That's not like you.

I doubt you two even believe in fate.

A new silver watch has arrived.

Give this one the transmutation amplification treatment, too.

Is that right? You were driven out of the city because of that priest, huh? That Cornello guy was positively awful, all right.

By the way, I get the feeling that I've seen your face around somewhere.

Really? Must be one of those common faces.

It's the Holy Mother! You're in luck! It's the Holy Mother.

Rose? Please go back inside! The colonel said that under no circumstances was anyone to see you! Because officially, I'm deceased? At least allow me to do as I like in the evening.

But You sure are pesky.

No! Kimbly! Hey there.

To think that we would be seeing the boy here again What should we do, Gluttony.

Pride told us, right? The Ishbal um k*ll anyone who knows the truth about Ishbal.

That's too bad.

I smell it.

I smell it! The smell of the Ishbalan beast! Fullmetal Alchemist! Episode 40: "Scars" Some people say that the scars on your body disappear in time.

But there are some scars that you can't get rid of.
