Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 2 - Room No.909 - full transcript
When did he...?
Robert Horton.
A big-time mafioso who dramatically extended
his power base into wall street recently.
If we let him continue
to expand unchecked, -
his organization will grow so powerful
that we see him disrupting the market
not just here in the U.S. but worldwide,
making a killing in the process.
We in the sec have had several meetings
about how best to address this, -
and as a result...
Very well,
the motion is unanimous.
In order to protect
the global financial industry, -
we decided we had no choice
but to eliminate him!
Payment will be three million dollars.
What do you say...
Mr. Golgo 13?
What is the target location?
Horton's a very
cautious individual.
When he's out in town, he makes
sure he's never vulnerable.
We think your only chance will be when
he goes back to his office on 7th St.
But the thing about
that office is...
It's on the 31st floor of the Harrison
building, 100 meters straight up.

Look, you can't be
hanging out here again.
C'mon, cut me some
slack, Charlie.
You there, wait! Hey!
Go ahead and get started.
Carol!
Measure the height from the floor to
the entry point and the point of impact.
And be precise.
Leave it to me, Sam.
Eddie.
You feelin' a bit calmer now?
I'm sorry for getting
upset earlier...
It's to be expected.
But Peggy, if we want to find who did this,
we'll have to ask you a few questions.
I understand.
Mr. Horton had just gotten
back from Europe today.
And that was according
to schedule?
Yes. He came straight here from the airport and
arrived at 5:00, also according to schedule.
Do you know precisely what
time it was that he got here?
Exactly 5:00.
What next?
Mr. Horton walked in and soon
told me to open the blinds.
The windows here face south so
the blinds stay closed during the day, -
but Mr. Horton liked
the view of the city at sunset.
Then, the second
I raised the blinds...
It's not your fault, Peggy.
The work of a pro, huh?
Yeah. He took the target out having
researched his itinerary and habits.
What's more, he got him with one shot right
at sundown, when it's easy to make a mistake.
If we're going to start looking for
clues, where do you think he shot from?
He could've aimed from
any of these buildings.
We can narrow it down.
Judging from
the bullet's trajectory, -
I'd say either the fiber building
or electronic center building.
So, from the rooftop
of one of those?
We're about 100 meters from the fiber and
close to 200 from electronic center.
Both workable distances
for a skilled sniper.
Here are the floor-to-impact
heights for both points.
Nice timing.
Using the angle this thing traveled, we
can find out from which rooftop he...
Are these numbers right?
Of course. I made sure
they're accurate, Sam.
What is it?
Entry point on the window was
at 1 meter, 72 centimeters.
The bullet went through the victim's head and
lodged in the wall at 1 meter, 73 centimeters.
Meaning what?
The bullet came in at
a slightly elevated angle.
In other words, it was fired
from somewhere below us.
But the rooftops of both those
buildings are above this floor.
It wasn't from a rooftop. And
neither building has any windows.
He used a maintenance lift?
If it were the middle of
the night, it'd be possible...
It would attract attention
during the day, huh?
Just where the heck did
this guy shoot from?
Lieutenant!
Charlie found this
while out on patrol.
A 30-caliber rimless
cartridge, long-rifle use.
He found it around 5:00,
the same time Horton was shot.
And when I picked it
up, the casing was...
It was still hot, as if
it had just been used.
Where'd you find it?
Right here.
On the street in front of
the east McGregor apartments.
This doesn't look like it's got
anything to do with our case, Sam.
It's over 500 meters from
there to 47th street.
Directly south. It matches up
with the bullet's trajectory...
I can see it.
But Sam, it's 500 meters away!
Carol!
Yes? Carol!
Yes'?
Yes? Get this down to
forensics right away.
Get this down to
forensics right away.
Yes, sir.
Let's go take a look, Eddie.
Are you serious? Hey!
For argument's sake, let's say
the cartridge does belong to the shooter.
Why would he go through the trouble of
shooting from 500 meters away, Sam?
If he wanted to off Horton, there are
plenty of buildings that are closer.
A pro would choose somewhere that would
improve his odds even a little, right?
Normally, yes.
Assuming this is our guy, we'd be too
late no matter how fast we moved in.
He's finished his job, so he
should be long gone by now.
Still, if I can just get a clue
as to who our shooter is...
I'll friggin' arrest
him for sure!
This is a 30-story building, -
but judging from the bullet's trajectory we can
rule out anything on the 25th floor or below.
Shit! For crying out loud...
This wind's been blowin' since mornin'!
Ooh, it's cold!
A southerly wind. It's
a tailwind, but just in case...
Frank, it's me.
Get hold of the weather service and confirm
weather conditions for around 5 pm, in detail.
Someone suspicious? There's
the man in room 909, I guess.
What kind of guy is he?
Judging from the name "Togo", this guy on
the top floor in room 909 is Japanese.
I think he's an athlete.
He's built real solid.
He rented the room three days ago.
A short-term lease, just for a week.
Rooms 907 and 908 on
the 30th floor are also empty
but he rented this one on the end, which
is farthest from the elevator. Why?
I couldn't tell you.
That's the one he chose.
Is he still here?
Sometimes you get tenants who
disappear before you know it.
But in this case it's fine. He paid
the whole week's rent up front.
Who is it?
Police. Open up.
Mr. Togo, yes?
I'm Sam Cheyenne, NYPD. This
is my associate Eddie Morgan.
Looks like we struck out, Sam.
It's not like the guy who'd let us close
this case would stick around forever.
We'd like to come in, ask
you a few questions.
Sam!
There's no mistake...
this is the guy!
You're leaving?
I thought your lease
was for a week.
Something came up.
It's not because your
job is finished?
Why did you rent this room,
the farthest one on the corner?
It's close to
the emergency stairs.
I've been in a hotel fire before.
In Cairo and Hamburg.
I've searched the inside, but there's
nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to let us search your room.
Sam!
It's me. Send a couple of
people out my way. Right now!
Something has to turn up.
Something... it has to!
I don't know what you're looking
for, but could you hurry it up?
At this rate, I won't
make my flight.
We searched the empty rooms
next door as well but, meh!
We even checked the rooms
downstairs, of course.
There's nothing, Sam.
No matter where we look.
I assume you're satisfied.
The garbage chute!
Check the garbage
in the basement!
Sir!
Was it "work" that took you to
Cairo and Hamburg as well, Togo?
Yeah?
The slug we pulled from
the wall is a .30 caliber Magnum.
It's a pointed, nickel-plated
number, a little unusual...
But apparently used in
Weatherby Rifles and such.
So the weapon used could have been,
for example, a Weatherby Rifle.
Also, judging by the depth
the slug was buried into the wall, -
it was probably shot from
between 200 to 600 meters away.
This building is 500 meters away,
which puts it within that range.
What about that bullet casing?
No fingerprints were found.
But they say there's a strong possibility
that the casing will match that slug.
So that bullet casing is connected
to the Horton shooting after all.
We found it, Sam!
A Weatherby... Magnum Mark V.
Hello? Sam, you there?
This was the best possible timing.
Thank you, Carol.
Togo. Cancel your flight.
Why?
Somebody hired you. You
used this to do your job, -
and when you were done with it you
threw it into the garbage chute.
Where is your proof
that the rifle is mine?
I don't expect we'll be pulling any of
your prints off of this. But I know.
I've dealt with thousands of sleazy
criminals in my time, and I can sense it.
From this window here...
You went like this and
took Horton's life.
What is it, Sam?
I-it's too far.
You can barely see the Harrison building
in between the others, and it's tiny.
Aiming at a target in that window...
It would be impossible.
No, it's not impossible.
We may be 500 meters away
and it may have been fired at sunset
when the eyes can easily make mistakes, -
but accurately hitting
the enemy's head in one shot...
It could be done by an unimaginably
talented, elite-class sniper. Like you.
Sam...
You rented this room
three days ago.
You timed it with Horton's
return to the U.S.
And you didn't choose this room because
it was close to the emergency stairs!
It was because this room, no. 909, lets
you directly face Horton's office!
You're coming with me, Togo.
You're going to answer some
questions down at the station.
I don't have time
to waste like that.
You shut up!
If I have to drag you out...
Lieutenant.
What is it, frank?
I confirmed what you asked me
to with the weather bureau.
About weather conditions in this
area at around 5 pm. And...
What?
Temperature was 14 deg. Celsius, humidity 34%.
Winds blew in from the east at 6.2 meters...
From the east? You
mean from the south.
It's south now, but that
changed around 5:30.
Before that, winds were
blowing east all day long.
The shot would've been tough
enough with a Southern tailwind, -
but in an eastern crosswind,
it would just be impossible, Sam.
Yeah, it would be impossible.
May I go now?
It's about that time.
There's no doubt about it,
he's the one who shot Horton.
That "Togo" guy.
But you yourself just
said it was impossible!
I meant that even if we arrested him, it would
be impossible to pin a guilty charge on him.
Who would believe that, from 500 meters
away, at dusk and with a crosswind...
Even faced with all that, someone could
hit a target with unequaled accuracy?
We could indict him, but I can already
see the verdict they'd pass down:
"Not guilty."
Not guilty!
Sam...
He finished his job, so why did
he stay here instead of leaving?
I know the answer to that.
Because there was no need for him to
panic and start trying to escape now.
In choosing this ridiculously
far place as his shooting point
he'd already placed himself outside
the scope of viable suspects.
Alleging that this guy
was behind the murder
would mean having to prove there are monsters
in this world who possess godlike talents.
But that's just not possible.
In other words, no one could
prove that he's guilty.
But...
If there were a witness, that
would be a different story.

Till the end of time...
The sound of gunfire rings
out in the scorching desert.
A sudden attack is underway... And it
is a trap that has been laid for Golgo.
The enemy's scheme involves
a new type of rifle.
A desperate struggle unfolds between
Golgo and his awesomely powerful foe...
