01 - To Challenge the Sun

You can watch Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 01 HERE or HERE.
"My brother and I knew the laws of science,
of Equivalent Exchange, that gain required sacrifice,
that something had to be taken from us.
But we thought there was nothing more we could lose.
We were wrong.
"

In a brief flashback two young boys, Edward and Alphonse Elric, attempt to perform an Alchemical Transmutation.
Something goes horribly wrong. Alphonse disappears, Edward is seen missing his left leg, and a grotesque figure appears out of the Transmutation Circle.

The scene switches to the current day and the brothers are seen walking across a desert. They arrive at Lior, where they hear about a religious leader named Father Cornello who can invoke miracles.
Rosé, a young woman who works for Cornello, takes the brothers to him. When they see Cornello perform a "miracle," they realize he is performing Alchemy, but is ignoring the Law of Equivalent Exchange and think that the gem that Cornello has is the Philosopher's Stone. Feeling the pressure from the brothers, Cornello orders his right-hand man, Cray, to kill them.
Cray however fails since Al has no body, and Rosé, scared for her life after witnessing Cray shoot Al to no effect, runs to Cornello. Al and Ed chase after her, and Cornello attacks them when they arrive. His failed attacks reveal that Ed's right arm and left leg have been replaced by auto-mail; he then realizes the source of Ed's nickname: "The Fullmetal Alchemist", and that the brothers have committed the Ultimate Sin: a Human-Transmutation.
