Ep. 16: Elric mencapai Central sementara Ling menghadapi penangkapan dan Mustang menyembunyikan kematian Hughes
Edward, Alphonse, and Winry arrive in Central, though Ling gets arrested for being an illegal immigrant. Sheska accidentally reveals some information on Mustang to Envy, disguised as Captain Focker, one of her superiors. Armstrong informs Mustang that he was unable to tell the Elric brothers about Hughes' death. When they meet up with Mustang, he falsely says that Hughes has retired from the state military. However, they soon learn the truth after encountering Ross. Winry soon finds out the truth as well after visiting Gracia and Elicia. Edward, along with Alphonse, arrive to apologize, since Edward blames himself for Hughes' murder. Gracia encourages them to push forward, even though she is holding back her tears. Envy comes up with a plan to stop Mustang from investigating Hughes' murder, and the next day, Ross is arrested by Colonel Henry Douglas as a suspect for it. (Source: Wikipedia)
