Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 11 - Dead Angle - full transcript
I wouldn't have pegged you for a baseball fan.
From here, it's easy to tell if a sniper lies in wait.
Makes sense.
I will hear your story.
The target is Baeir Mahaad,
special envoy to the Kingdom of Jordan.
It seems he intends to file a protest
with the United Nations
stating that our CIA Middle East activities
are in violation of international law.
The State Department's behind it.
They look down on us while trying to
increase their own annual budget.
We won't let them do whatever they want!
Payment will be $3 million.
Your one condition is
it must happen at the airport.
The airport? Why?
Outside the airport,
responsibility for his safety shifts to us.
The condition makes it difficult,
but you're the only one who can do this.
Will you accept, Golgo 13?
I continued to wait, secretly holding my breath
While simply clawing at my heart
One minute and one second
had never felt this long
I look up at the sky and ask of the wind
Oh, can I run free now?
That weak me of the past isn't here anymore
I've decided only to believe
Take the wave
With these hands
I grasp now the dream I've pictured
Toward you
Take the chance
With my back to these emotions I'd felt broken
Toward you
Blown by the wind
Oh, blown
DeadAngle
It's cold, huh?
Yeah.
Spit your gum out, kid.
The undersecretary hates gum.
Okay.
This is Katz Dobert.
He's a bit young.
But sir, his skills and accomplishments
are beyond doubt.
He set a world record for
competitive shooting at just 19.
If he'd entered the Olympics,
there's no doubt he would've gotten the gold.
But the target is no ordinary opponent!
It's Golgo 13, right?
What?!
How did you...?
I can easily access the databases of
intelligence agencies worldwide.
He's been hired by the CIA and the DOD.
His target is Baeir Mahaad,
special envoy to Jordan.
It's to take place on June 1st,
three days from now, at precisely 3:00 pm.
The location is New York,
JFK International Airport.
After Mahaad arrives in a special plane, -
he'll be taken on foot to a VIP-use
heliport where his transport awaits.
Required walk time will be one minute at most.
Our man will assassinate Mahaad
during that one minute.
Very well. True, the target is Golgo 13.
But you can't just go after him
whenever and wherever you like!
It has to be the instant
Golgo snipes Mahaad, right?
How did you...?
If I shoot him and he happens to be unarmed, -
the State Department will have committed
a mistake it can never fix.
That's why Golgo must be armed, -
with direct evidence that he was
targeting Mr. Mahaad.
That's correct. But there's no way of
knowing where Golgo will strike.
Sure there is. It's simple.
Simple?
How do you know my password?!
Don't worry about it.
I even know the President's password.
Mahaad will arrive on a special flight
and walk to the heliport.
Golgo could shoot from
any of these four buildings.
This one is closest to the target,
but it's TOO close.
He could make the shot,
but he'd probably soon be discovered.
It's impossible to think a sniper of
Golgo's caliber would choose this one.
Next, there's this building.
It has no windows or level roofing.
Shooting from here would be impossible.
That leaves either the central cargo
building or the control tower.
Which one of those buildings will he choose?!
He always chooses a backup location
in addition to his main one, just in case.
So it has to be both buildings?
Lemme show you something interesting.
From here, it's a straight shot from
Mahaad's transport to the helipad.
It's the perfect location for
sighting a moving target.
There are also plenty of places to hide.
What is it?
Th-that's...!
Interesting, huh?
Golgo 13's rifle?
When Mahaad arrives on June 1st,
security will be ramped up more than usual.
It would be impossible to smuggle in a gun with
the airport in that state... even for Golgo 13.
That's why he's already disassembled
the gun and placed it at the sniping point.
If I'd taken this job, I would have
done the exact same thing.
And? What about the other location?
The monitoring room directly
below the control tower, -
the so-called "GMC room".
I told you it'd be easy, didn't I?
Notice, the window of this GMC room
also looks down upon the heliport.
Yes, but even though this is the machine room, -
it's still part of the control tower,
so there'll be lots of human traffic.
Won't he make the central cargo building
his primary shooting point?
I wouldn't be too sure...
From here, I can get a clean shot at Golgo
no matter which point he uses.
What's more, I'll be out of his range here.
Even if he does manage to spot me,
by then he'll already be eating a bullet.
And what if he shows up on top of that hangar?
You'll be in plain sight of him.
There is 100% no chance of
Golgo 13 showing up there.
In the intelligence community,
there's no such thing as 100%.
Yes there is.
True enough, from the top of that hangar
we would have me in his range...
but then the tower would be in his way,
making him unable to see the target.
I get it!
No matter how you look at it, he's going
to have to use one of those two points.
All right... Make your move, Golgo 13!
The airport.
How's security looking, Mr. Smith?
Well, well. The Directors of both
the DOD and the CIA! Thank you for coming.
We've taken all possible security measures.
You can rest easy, sirs.
After all, this is security for
the special envoy to Jordan, -
who is here at the State Department's
personal request.
We're here to see you all in action.
Golgo 13 has arrived!
Golgo 13...
Send that image to all our agents!
Pardon me sir, may we please
inspect your belongings?
We're on special alert today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What's this?
A present from my client's child.
We're very sorry for the bother.
Have a good flight.
Golgo 13 was not armed.
We will now begin tracking him.
It can't be a coincidence that Golgo 13
showed up today of all days.
It's almost a sure bet that he plans
to assassinate Mr. Mahaad.
Could he be here for some rival terrorist faction?
Mr. Smith, I wonder if Mr. Mahaad
will be all right...
Don't let your eyes off of Golgo 13!
Make sure you stay on him!
Those bastards have got some nerve!
No matter what, we have to keep
Mahaad from being killed.
And kill Golgo 13 right in front of them!
How are SWAT arrangements coming?
I can't leave everything to that uppity brat!
Sir. No problems on that end.
They're already in place and ready
to act as Katz's backup.
Good. But there's no risk of the SWAT
accidentally shooting Katz instead?
No need to worry about that, sir.
I have a special order from the director himself
and also told the SWAT guys not
to act until Katz has fired.
Katz, can you hear me? Golgo 13 has appeared.
He's currently being followed.
Mahaad's plane will arrive in another 25 minutes.
How are preparations coming on your end?
Understood. I finished getting
ready 30 minutes ago.
The central cargo building... The GMC room...
I'm ready when you are. Come on, Golgo 13!
Golgo 13 is headed for
the central cargo building.
Still no sign that he's carrying any weaponry.
Excuse me. The toilet.
Any movement?
Golgo 13 went for the central cargo building.
It's already time for Mahaad's flight to arrive.
It looks like the GMC room
was his backup location.
That's just a feint. The GMC room
is sure to be his main location.
There it is.
Golgo 13...
Your legend will soon be over!
Mahaad's plane is already going to land.
Emergency! We've lost sight of Golgo 13!
He's inside the central cargo building!
What about the security cameras?
What is this?
I don't know what happened, -
but what looks like smoke from an explosion
is obstructing the video feed.
Search for him! He should
still be somewhere around...
No, send someone out to the control tower.
Find him, no matter what!
You lost him at the central cargo building?
Not to worry. He's headed for the GMC room.
Just don't even bother, Golgo 13.
I can read your every move!
I-I spotted Golgo 13 heading into the hangar!
What? The hangar, you say?
What are you doing, Golgo?
Just one more minute!
What?! He went into the hangar? Is he armed?
Not at all. He probably
has it stashed in the hangar.
That can't be. There's no way he can target
Mahaad from the hangar!
But he's there, and that's a fact!
Now that he's shown up,
just do whatever it takes to stop him!
Golgo 13 is in the hangar. Cover Katz!
What is Golgo 13 doing?
Mahaad will board the helicopter!
Also, what's he doing in the hangar?
What are you thinking, Golgo 13?!
Could he be aiming for Me?
Fine!
It's 80 meters to the hangar.
The bastard's coming!
Yes, I made it.
Come on, Golgo 13!
Katz!
Mr. Smith... Unfortunately for you, -
Golgo 13 seems to be a man who can
accomplish the impossible.
Well, we'll be leaving now.
Sure enough, 100% wasn't possible after all.
What do we do about Golgo 13?
Our plan has failed.
Just leave the rest to airport security.
We're leaving.
Sir.
Looks like he had the last laugh.
He aimed for the instant the helicopter passed
between the cargo building and the GMC room.
To aim for a narrow window like that...
I... I utterly lost.
He showed perfect accuracy
in aiming for his target.
The way he fought at close range with his M16,
in ways I couldn't predict...
That will be a valuable lesson for next...
No, I guess not.
The sight of you giving your all
to such small things
Days in which you've become brave
You can't move if you stay as you are, indecisive
Like standing on a glass highway
Though it's filled with dreams and danger
Little by little, let's walk this long road
And just like that time before
You're laughing
In the breeze of the salt air, there was a whisper
That sparkling, faraway day was an illusion
It's far too soon to be defeated
by such trivial things
Till the end of time...
The star player of a football team
is shot in mid-play.
An aging detective arrives on the scene.
He leaves his high-tech investigative facility
and draws closer to Golgo.
Can this man's honed instincts
prove a match for Golgo?
Next time on Golgo 13,
"Touch Down"
Do not stand behind him, if you value your life!
