Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 17 - Afterglow - full transcript
When an aging FBI agent sees his impending retirement looming, he decides to settle one last score. He dedicates his final days to tracking down and proving that Golgo is the killer he's been hunting--and been haunted by--all these years.
This way!
Gomez!
Search over there!
Your streak of evil luck has
just run out, Golgo 13.
Regarding this shooting incident
that occurred in San Francisco, -
you're still just a potential suspect...
but I'm going to collect enough
evidence to send you to the chair.
I'm Leon Goldman, and I bet my career
as an FBI agent on it.
That man from six years ago, eh?
Excellent work. Got the target with one shot.
I can't find any witnesses
who saw the culprit, sir.
Me neither.
Where did he shoot from?
You got something?
It'd be impossible from there, don't you think?
It's too far, Agent Goldman.
But...
Yes?
It's nothing.
It's the FBI's job to give us detectives orders, -
but all this old guy does is hang
around like window dressing!
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
Afterglow
You really don't have any ideas about
who could've shot Gomez?
Say something! Your own boss was just killed!
But you all were chasing
the shooter with your guns in hand!
How many times we gotta tell ya?
We weren't chasin' him, we were lookin' for him!
But there wasn't no one suspicious nowhere!
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Chicago Mafia Boss Shot Dead
Darling...
How's the case coming?
Have you learned anything?
We have zero leads.
No clue at all who the killer is.
Oh...
Let's eat.
All right.
Is something wrong?
No. Nothing at all.
Send backup at once! Stay on them and
do not let them out of your sight!
Okay...
Sure enough, they came in from Chicago.
To find the killer themselves and
avenge their boss's death.
If we let some gang get the jump on us,
it'll be a disgrace to us police!
That's right!
Yeah!
This is about more than just being "disgraced"!
What we should really worry about is the public
getting caught in the middle of some vendetta!
Yes, of course.
What's with you, fool? You scared of this ball?
I just don't like people passing behind me.
Oh, this is rich. Hey everyone, c'mere!
We got us a live one!
The General here says he won't allow
you maggots to walk behind him!
Whoa there!
Sir! Corporal Michaels, -
just returned from a terrorist search-and-destroy
operation in the Middle East, sir!
Move.
Bastard!
Move!
Got some good moves there, Brother.
I used to be a little famous myself,
back in Wisconsin.
As a heavyweight title holder.
I let my guard down, thinkin'
you were an amateur...
I'll friggin' kill ya!
That's far enough.
You couldn't take this guy,
even if you teamed up on him.
FBI?!
Get out of here.
We'll remember this!
It's been a while, Mr. Togo.
I trust you haven't forgotten me, hm?
Your skills are as impressive as ever.
I'm referring to the sniping incident
on Waikiki Beach.
From the moment I saw the crime scene,
I knew it had to be your work.
Now, seeing you again like this,
I know my assumption was correct.
It's already been six years. Since last time.
The instant you were called in as
a suspect for the shooting death
of that lawyer, Graham,
in San Franciso, I was electrified.
I thought, "At last, I can send
Golgo 13 to the electric chair."
I went all over, working hard to collect evidence.
But then one day...
We finally had you in custody, -
but then you were suddenly taken away
by some Pentagon guys...
who asked you to do some
"work" for our country.
I could care less about the country's motives.
I have a duty as a federal agent, -
so I went to the Pentagon,
which sought your extradition
even though you were a murder suspect.
But this is what the deputy secretary
in charge said:
"Rather than some personal idea of justice,
what's more important is our NATIONAL values.
"Stop your investigation of Golgo 13."
But I couldn't give up.
I would definitely send you to the electric chair.
I was determined, and I dug up
all the data on you I could find.
At the same time, I made protests
to the directors of the CIA and FBI.
And what I received for my efforts was...
Transfer. Demotion.
It's been six years.
Since they sent me here to Hawaii.
Six years passed, and you've been
unable to make good on your vow.
Get out of Hawaii, at once.
You really are a troublesome bastard.
Even if I managed to gather enough
evidence to arrest you, -
there's no way it would make it to trial.
Both the FBI and the CIA
want to keep you a secret.
With you as an opponent,
no matter what I do, it's a waste of effort.
That's why I'm looking the other way
on this Gomez killing.
And because you're looking the other way,
you're telling me to leave?
Right now. Before anyone at
Headquarters realizes you're here.
Everyone's out on assignment?
Sir! Sure enough, you were right!
What are you talking about?
It was bothering me, so I did some asking
around at that hotel you had your eye on.
I found a witness.
He says he saw a suspicious guy
around the time of the shooting.
The guy was well-built,
had a piercing stare and was Asian.
All right. I'll look into this personally
tomorrow morning.
This is no time for sitting around!
I'll find the guy myself!
Wait!
Let's go out to eat tonight. It's our anniversary.
I'm not fond of crowds...
You're not, are you? All right,
I'll be home as soon as I can.
So you showed up after all, huh?
It's payback time.
We can't let you get away with this!
They're doing what?! I'll be there at once!
It looks like someone's been
surrounded by Gomez's men.
A gang, huh?
This is bad, isn't it?
Apprehending them takes precedence
over searching for the killer.
Let's go!
Sir!
Let's go!
What are you doing?!
How could you bring people in for a simple
disturbance at a time like this?!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry!
How could you bring people in for a simple
disturbance at a time like this?!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry!
Let them go!
All of them, right now!
I thought I told you. To get out of Hawaii at once.
I don't take orders from anyone.
It looks like my wording
yesterday wasn't very good.
I wasn't ordering you. I was ASKING you.
Gomez's grunts are out in force,
looking for the culprit in order to get revenge.
And headquarters has found someone
pinpointing you as the culprit.
I can protect myself.
THAT is where the problem lies.
Six years ago, I hated you... But not anymore.
I've come to grow fond of Hawaii.
So much so that I'm grateful to you.
This is the ideal place for growing old.
Please. If you stay here, it will only be trouble.
If another corpse shows up,
there'll be nothing I can do.
I want you to understand that.
Just two more years and I can retire.
I've got a young, attractive wife.
I don't want to get involved in any trouble.
The person I am now isn't
the same one you knew.
I'm already facing my twilight years.
To me, you're already something
from the past, old and forgotten.
Yesterday...
How did you know I'd be at that gym?
It was just a hunch.
You keep yourself in peak physical condition, -
so you wouldn't miss a training
session even on assignment.
With that in mind, guessing your actions was...
All right, I'll be leaving now.
Golgo...
Mr. Togo.
How'd it go? That lead about the Asian guy.
Still nothing yet...
What about Leon?
He left a little earlier, sir.
What a "splendid" FBI agent!
Did he really used to be good?
So I've heard. Before.
A LONG time ago, huh?
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 double agent takes refuge inside a castle,
where sniping is impossible.
Golgo waits patiently to acquire the shot
and acquires a certain piece of information.
When the mailman appears
at the castle as always, -
Golgo takes aim with his rifle!
Next time on Golgo 13,
