Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 19 - Glass Fort - full transcript

That is correct. The island is located directly
between England and Scotland.

The building we will see shortly was built
by the Scottish aristocracy as a resort, -

and bulletproof glass was used
as an anti-terrorist measure.

However, as Japan is a safe region,
stained glass would be acceptable.

This island is man-made, -

so we can discount that amount,
given that you already own your island.

Also, what about a stained-glass sunroof
or a mirrored perimeter wall?

Please look. You can now
see the island... Mr. Togo.

That is our company's pride and joy,
?le-de-Voile...

Commonly known as The Glass Fortress!

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

The GI ass Fortress

The blonde girl in the blue bikini.

She is Rosy Cox, and she shall be
our next donor, Mr. Walton.

She is beautiful and vibrant.

There is no trace of the pale, gaunt
condition when she first arrived.

Yes.

She is indeed an enchanting creature.

Hello, Rosy. You've completely recovered, eh?

All thanks to you, Mr. Walton.

To think I was drowning in heroin addiction...

It is the result of your hard work, Rosy:

A healthy lifestyle, the right food,
adequate rest and exercise.

All I did was provide the means.

That's not true. You even introduced
me to more work...

This is not merely a resort facility.

At the end of it, everyone will find just
the right employment and return to society.

That is our goal.

I really am grateful.

Now then, Rosy, why don't you show him
just how full a recovery you've made?

Okay, Mr. Walton!

What did you tell her?

That you were an agent from
the Philippine film industry

and were seeking to scout her after
seeing her as an extra in an earlier film.

Makes sense. In that case,
she will happily come with me.

Congratulations, Rosy.

Now that you're healthy, the day has
come for you to leave the island.

What's the matter, Rosy? Come over this way.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Come then!

Rosy!

I did it!

Awesome!

How envious I am, seeing them leap
about so energetically!

It's been six months already since
we came to Manila for your health.

Don't you miss our hometown
of Belfast, Melinda?

Yes, a little. But I was able to spend
a pleasant winter here.

I thought it would be impossible for me
to see it through the winter...

Have you heard from the doctor
about a heart transplant?

Yes. But putting someone else's
organs inside of me...

I would be like a monster. The idea is frightful.

It's nothing more than
a medical advance, Melinda.

According to the doctor,
most of the donors are males, -

so the size wouldn't be compatible
with a small woman like myself.

He hopes to find a donor who is compatible
with me, and who is a woman, but...

Melinda, I intend to get you
that transplant operation, -

even if I have to sell everything I own to do it!

Dear... I am a happy woman,
to be so loved by her husband.

Now that our daughter Vanissa has left
the house, you are my only family.

If I were to lose you, I would be all alone...

It's been five years since she left.
I certainly hope she is doing well.

It's all right. No news is good news.
I'm sure she's fine.

Yes, you're right...

I'm very sorry for Garcia's mistake.

The donor overheard talk of organ trafficking
while she was in transit and made a run for it, -

apparently leaping overboard.

Is that why you've come personally this time,
Mr. hospital director?

We pulled some strings with
the Manila police and with the press, -

had them report it as the accidental death
of an American tourist, but...

Not to worry about the donor.
I'll be sending a replacement next week.

My apologies. If you'd be so kind
as to coordinate the details, Mr. Walton.

After all, the organs you provide
are healthy and in optimal condition, -

and can be bought with confidence.

Your female organs are especially valuable.

Just leave everything to me, Mr. Rivera.

What is that copter?

It's a helicopter owned
by the Dreen Corporation.

That's the construction company
that built this island.

A customer from Japan would like
a guest resort like this one.

They contacted me asking if it would
be all right to show off the island.

That's rather flagrant, isn't it?

It would be a serious matter if our relationship,
and the secret of this island, were discovered.

Come now! They think this island
is merely a resort facility.

If all they're doing is flying overhead,
it would appear suspicious if I refused.

But you're providing funds to
anti-government terrorists, are you not?!

My apologies! But what if there's
a sniper aboard the helicopter?

Considering what's just happened,
we should be lying low!

There is no need to worry.

Mr. Walton is safest right here.
Allow me to explain.

This island is surrounded entirely
by triple-wall bulletproof glass.

We are protected from the ocean by sonar and
the glass wall, and from the air by a glass roof.

But there's no roof above the pool, is there?

If we were to completely close off all areas,
it would cause the girls undue stress.

Then this cannot be called
completely safe, can it?

Please have a look at this.

As you can see, this building was designed so
that the interior falls within a dead angle, -

no matter which direction one shoots from.

JJ is an expert marksman with
an Olympic gold medal for shooting.

This island was designed with his participation.

So long as I am here in this island of glass,
I am 100% safe, Mr. Rivera.

But if all possibilities are explored, -

surely there are avenues for which
one cannot say 100%, are there not?

What do you mean?

What about ricochets?

Ricochets?

Yes. Dead angles notwithstanding, -

one could aim inside the building
via a ricochet shot, correct?

Is this true?

Yes. Like a bank shot in billiards, -

it is possible to shoot a bullet using
an angle of reflection, like this.

Then if one were to use, say, the pool's
surface to ricochet a bullet inside...

Is that possible?

Yes, theoretically.

Whether it can actually be done, however,
is doubtful, even by someone with my skills.

However...

As you can see, even if a ricochet shot
were accomplished, -

the only possible angle would
strike the roof of this room.

According to the computer simulations, -

it would be impossible to strike
Mr. Walton with a ricochet shot.

I see. Then it IS perfect!

And so long as you're here, I'm safe, JJ.

May we head back now, Mr. Togo?

Yeah. Thanks.

A shot would be impossible
from either the ocean or the sky.

It truly is an impenetrable glass fortress, eh?

I welcome you, Mr. Doherty.

This is rather elaborate.

Has Walton received information
that he is being targeted?

Please bear with the inconvenience.
We check all of our visitors thusly.

Protecting Mr. Walton is my job,
and his safety my first priority.

My apologies.

Here!

Well, well! Mr. Doherty!

This is your first time to come here, correct?

When coordinating a donor for your wife,
it was conducted via telephone.

It would seem you can't step foot off this island.

The only way to meet you was
for me to come here directly.

You're here today about
your wife Melinda, aren't you?

We found a donor, but the "merchandise"
was damaged during transport.

If I could have just a little more time...

To think that I've thrown in my lot with a Shylock!

"Shylock"?

That would be the name of an unscrupulous
merchant appearing in a play by Shakespeare.

You're saying that's what I am?

They don't know that you traffic
in human organs...

Those girls are little more
than fish that you've raised!

So you feel sorry for them?

These girls were already as good as dead.

Is it a crime, then, to sell their organs?

Have you no conscience, man?!

Fine. If you consider it a sin,
I am fine being a sinner.

But do we all not carry the burden of sin
that we may live?

Much like the Greek myth of Sisyphus.

My body is already in this state.

Without those girls, I could not live
more than a few years.

And did you yourself not request a heart
transplant for your wife, Mr. Doherty?!

That construction company's helicopter AGAIN?

I swear. From getting this thing
painted to having to pilot it...

This guy sure puts people through the wringer!

Once your job's finished
and this thing has been scrapped, -

I'll be heading straight back to America.

"Just shut up and pilot", is that it?

Whatever. I'm getting a nice
chunk of change out of this.

These two are your targets...

Fergus Walton and his right-hand man, JJ.

Walton is a contributor of funds
to an international terrorist group.

Unless we cut off the source of those funds,
tens of thousands of lives will be lost!

And? Why me?

Because we have no evidence.
And most of all, because that island is a fortress.

Aside from the angel of death himself, you're
the only one who could smash that glass fortress!

No matter what, this is one job
we want you to take!

Circle above the island slowly.

Yeah, yeah. As you wish.

Take a look at this.

This is...

Dear Mom and Dad, -

I hope that the both of you are doing well.

I am very sorry for being out of
touch for such a long time.

As you know, I left for London with
aspirations of becoming an actress.

I went through some cosmetic surgery
and took the stage name "Rosy Cox."

But sad to say, that didn't help land me
any acting jobs. I couldn't face you...

But a nobleman named Walton has
brought me to his beautiful glass resort, -

and in addition to giving me back my life,
has introduced me to a job, -

even if it is in the Philippine film industry...

Once I do my first movie role,
I'll be sure to return home.

I'm enclosing a picture of me
after my cosmetic surgery.

Your daughter, Vanissa.

Rosy Cox is my daughter!

She's my daughter Vanissa!

When her body showed up in Manila Bay,
I didn't know it was Vanissa.

When I returned to my home in Belfast,
that letter had arrived by air mail.

Can you understand...

Can you understand my feelings
when I read that letter?!

True enough, a parent and child
would make for compatible donors...

In choosing Vanissa, you proved,
even if unwittingly, -

your skill in coordinating the proper donor.

But now, all I can think is
that I'm glad she's dead!

Otherwise, my wife...

My wife almost received an organ
ripped from her own child!

It's horrible just to think of it!
To do something so cruel...

Take it around again. Slowly.

Just what do you plan on doing?

That thing is made of triple-wall
bulletproof glass, right?

How are you...

Okay, fine. I'll just shut up and fly.

Stay at this height and circle around, slowly.

Yeah, yeah. As you wish.

And what are you saying I should do?

It's obvious.

You...

You can't be allowed to live!

What?!

JJ...

So long as he's here on this island,
NO ONE will be killing Mr. Walton.

You'll have to ask the angel of death
once you've passed away, Mr. Doherty.

Mr. Walton!

Where? Where did the shot come from?!

A ricochet! A ricochet shot made it in!

H-how did you...?

Take us around again.

As you wish!

But the angle of the shot was impossible,
even for the computer! How?

Oh! The waves!

He used the waves that the girls made
to change the angle of the ricochet shot!

But there isn't a person alive
who could do something like that!

It's just luck... It must have been a lucky shot!

It... wasn't luck...

It's a miracle!

It must be a miracle from heaven.

You haven't spoken of the transplant
operation lately, have you?

I could die tomorrow, and it would
be as a happy woman.

Because I am so loved by you.

More importantly, I wonder
where Vanissa is right now...

It's all right, Melinda. I'm sure she's doing well.

No news is good news.

You're right. Yes, you're right.

After all, she's our daughter.

Yes...

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 woman, alone, continues to wait patiently...

Firmly believing that her husband, who is
fleeing from murder, will return to her side.

On Malta Island in the Mediterranean Sea,
the sound of Golgo's rifle will ring out!
