Episode 7: Night of the Chimera's Cry (2003 series)

Lt. Colonel Mustang gives Edward his State Alchemist's silver pocketwatch, and Tucker is up for his annual recertification as a State Alchemist. Ed becomes a little suspicious of Tucker's wife's leaving, and Tucker's chimera studies, after he finds a burnt-up letter written by Nina to her mother in the trash, and an archivist at the library says that Tucker's wife died before Tucker arrived in Central two years ago. On his way out, Ed rips the sleeve of a strange man, revealing an arm covered in odd tattoos. The man runs away, asking his unseen "brother" about a curse. Ed and Al are forced away from the Tucker house after the government worries that Ed is getting into this chimera thing too deep. Ed and Al sneak back into the Tucker house, and find a basement full of strange caged animals. Tucker calls them into the back room, where a dog-goat-like creature with brown hair lies next to him. He introduces it as a chimera capable of human speech, but it's mannerisms and what it says reveal the truth: Tucker transmuted his own daughter Nina with his dog, Alexander, to create this monster just like he did with his own wife two years ago. Tucker and Nina/Alexander are taken by the government, who want to cover it up. Ed overturns the police truck, intent on rescuing Nina and de-transmuting her, but she runs away. She is found by the strange tattooed man, whose tattoos glow red when he touches her. Lamenting over her being a sin against nature and in such pain, he prays to God that she be reaccepted into His light before killing her, thereby putting her out of her pain.
