Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 13 - Cross Angle - full transcript
Okay, let's do it!
Gotcha!
This woman! It's...
Yup. Queen Cybele of Pulizia.
And she was practically drooling,
O rookie editor of mine.
I can't believe you got something this incredible!
He's broken scandals involving over
250 celebrities and VIPs in 42 countries, -
and those are just the ones I can remember.
More than a few of his photos
have had a real impact on society.
From royal families to mafia kingpins,
there's no photo I can't take!
Because of that, there've been
six attempts on my life.
I've also been sued for libel
easily more than 100 times.
This just proves how talented you are, Lance.
I can make this out for the same as usual?
Actually, I'd like double.
The truth is, Boss...
That was my last job.
I've decided to give up my camera.
Giving it up?
So he's retiring?!
Lance!
I'm just sick of it. I've spent 20-plus years
chasing famous people's asses.
I've had enough.
Also... My curiosity's been more than sated.
Drop the bravado already, Victor Lance.
What?!
I've worked with you for a long time.
These past few years, you've gotten fewer
scoops and your quality's dropped, -
which I'm sure you've noticed.
That's because there's no more
prey worthy of me going after.
Is that so?
Well, for your last photo, how about a real
prize that will make the world gasp?
What do you mean? There's still someone
you want me to photograph?
No, just forget I said anything, Lance.
This man, not even you could...
Wh-who is it?! For you to say that,
he must be incredibly important.
Granted, your skills are first rate,
but he's just too dangerous.
Dammit! Tell me who it is!
Sir.
Th-this is... It's Golgo 13!
A sniper who kills for money.
What's more, a super A-class sniper
who's completed all jobs perfectly.
If you could capture the moment
he shoots his target, -
there would be no greater scoop!
The moment he shoots?
Yes. Not a single photographer who's
captured Golgo 13 shooting remains alive.
If you could do it, your name
would go down in history...
as a legendary photographer.
However...
However?
He can't let anyone who's witnessed him kill live.
That's why he's too dangerous.
Now we're talking!
Excellent.
He's the perfect subject to
celebrate my retirement...
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
Cross Angle
You got hold of Golgo 13's schedule?!
I've got an informant I can use...
Someone who can even hack into
top-secret DOD databases.
You got information from the Pentagon?
He freaked out the second he heard
the name I wanted him to search.
I don't blame him.
Considering who it is you're after.
Photographers and snipers
are essentially the same, Partree.
We find the best position to aim for our target,
then wait for our chance...
and shoot!
Only our tools are different.
Makes sense.
In other words, I've hunted my
prey in the same way, -
meaning I'll be able to read his movements.
I will win this showdown!
I'm counting on you, Lance.
If killing targets with a single shot is his style, -
then for this showdown,
I will click my shutter only once!
Just once?!
He will pull his trigger...
Flame will leap from the barrel...
I will capture that moment.
That single picture will put the name of
Victor Lance into the pages of legend!
This is the building where
the target has his hideout.
If it were me going after him...
Here.
And to capture him as he aims...
this would be the best position
All that's left is to wait for
the target and Golgo 13.
And there he is!
Now then... Show yourself, Golgo 13!
Why won't he appear?
It can't be!
It's Lance! That Golgo 13 schedule
you got me wasn't fake, was it?
If you can't trust me, I'm just gonna hang up.
Impossible!
Then, from where?
It can't be!
He shot from THERE?
From aboard a moving boat?
For him to shoot from a location
even you couldn't predict, -
the guy's gotta be a monster, huh?
A monster... He's a monster
so I can't capture him, is that it?
Next time... This next time will be
the REAL showdown!
You plan to try again?
There is no one!
No one that I can't photograph!
L..Lance!
I may have come to him
with a truly terrible proposition...
You and I go way back!
Why can't you understand? This is Golgo 13!
Please! Just one more time!
I need you to get that information!
Please! C'mon, please!
I found out where his next job is going to be.
It's in London.
I hacked into the computer of the client's agent
and found out the target's codename.
The target is called "Bishop the Arms Dealer".
His current whereabouts are unknown, -
but he'll be back at his London hideout
by noon the day after tomorrow.
Where's his hideout?
Bellwick Road...
Okay, got it.
Lance...
I'm telling you,
you're better off just dropping this.
If he finds out, your life will be in danger.
I want nothing more to do with this.
This is the last time I'll contact you.
Okay.
You're a stupid man... You're crazy.
Just you wait, Golgo 13.
I'll win this showdown and my
name will become legend!
No doubt about it, the target's hideout
is on the top floor of that building.
Circle around that building.
Huh?
I swear, that building is nothing special
but they told me to reference it for my design.
I have no idea what the guy requesting
this construction job is thinking.
He could aim for the target's
window even from this hotel.
But if the target were farther inside the room,
it would be a dead angle.
The possible shooting angle is 98 degrees,
with an effective range of 2,500 feet or less.
Under those conditions, Golgo 13
can only shoot from within this range.
The problem is, which point within
this range will we choose?
For example, this Lead Hotel would be
just right for taking the shot.
But which window would he take aim from?
Unless I can figure that out,
I can't set up my camera.
Wait a minute.
What if he couldn't aim from
ANY of the windows?
All right, that halves the range to 49 degrees.
From within this range,
his sniping point would be...
Here. The emergency stairs
of the Adelu House hotel.
It's the only location!
Once I know his sniping point, all that's left
is to decide where I'll shoot from.
He can't let anyone who's witnessed him kill live.
A place where I can get a bead
on him but he can't see me.
That would be...
Of course not. There wouldn't
be any place like that.
No, there has to be some way.
A way that I could photograph him
but he definitely wouldn't notice me...
Oh! That's what I could do!
This time, this showdown is mine for sure!
This is the best angle.
I guess it's about time to get this
plan underway, eh?
Is this the Lead Hotel?
I've planted something interesting
there in your building...
Now then... Fall into my trap, Golgo 13!
Sir. Sir!
I'm very sorry for disturbing you.
We're asking all guests to
please evacuate at once.
Why?
There was a call saying an explosive
had been planted inside this hotel.
We'd like you to please evacuate, and quickly.
Just as I thought. Sure enough,
he'd planned to shoot from the Lead Hotel.
Now then, this leaves just one point
from which he can shoot...
What are you doing, Golgo 13?
It's almost time for your target to return.
There he is!
It's the target.
Come on, Golgo 13! I'm ready for you anytime!
What's going on, Golgo 13?
Why won't you appear?!
Th-there he is!
Just a pigeon, huh?
I win, Golgo 13! The time has come for someone
to capture the moment you shoot!
Yes!
I lost it... Shit!
But how did he know I was aiming
at him with my camera?
Oh... It must have been the sun's light
reflecting off of the lens.
Even when taking aim, he stayed that aware
of his surroundings? Unbelievable!
I guess he is a monster after all.
Partree? I lost. Total failure.
Yeah.
Let's have a drink when I get back...
To toast my NOT becoming legend.
Oh! He knew the target would open the curtain
at noon to read the electronic billboard.
He was waiting for that, was he?
This guy gets more and more frightening!
A monster and a perfectionist... Golgo 13!
Which of us had first sought to be free?
And why? It doesn't matter
We've decided to part,
having loved becoming a thing of the past
And that's all, right?
Losing you, realizing that, missing you again
Inside this selfish heart of mine
No matter how many times I overcome the pain
I can't become as strong as I'd imagined I could
A single dream... I saw it, and that was all
Let's return to tomorrow
O wanderers in a night as calm as this
Awaken and walk your own paths
Time is but a fleeting thing
Yet people seek it far too much
A certain man encounters Golgo 13
during his mission in Palau.
His codename: AX3...
And he is a first-rate sniper with
his sights on the same target.
Once their mission is complete,
the fate of the professional awaits them both...
