FMA: Brotherhood – Episode 20 – Father Before the Grave

Ed is not happy to see Hohenheim again. Later that night, Ed overhears a conversation Hohenheim has with Pinako about whether or not the person Ed transmuted was actually his mother. Hohenheim leaves the next day, warning Pinako that something horrible will happen in this country. Al explains his immortality to Ling, and Winry is appalled at his opinion that an immortal body like Al’s would be great. Determined to find the true answer, Ed and Pinako dig up the corpse of the failed transmutation, even though Ed keeps wretching at the thought. When he digs up some hair, he realises it wasn’t Trisha he transmuted. Ed then calls Izumi about the legibility of her transmutation, but she doesn’t answer. Ed then returns to Central and reunites with Al and Winry, reassuring them that getting Al’s body back is possible. Izumi calls Ed back, with the same results Ed got, confirming his suspicions that it is possible to bring Al’s body back, but not to revive the dead. Ed, Al and Izumi feel a sense of relief that they hadn’t killed someone a second time. Ed and Al reaffirm their resolve to return Al to his original body.
