Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 44 - Rockford's Ambitions - full transcript
By all means, we wish to hire
you on as a personal sniper.
Such is the desire
of my employer.
You will be paid $10 million per month.
What do you say?
How did you find out I was here?
Well... let's say that my employer has his
own information network at his disposal.
If you're saying
the money is insufficient...
This is all you
wanted to discuss?
I've never considered tying
myself to a single employer.
Understood.
I will return and inform my employer.
However...
I'm withdrawing $50,000 cash.
Wait just a moment.
Your reply notwithstanding,
my employer is certain not to acquiesce.
Since the day he was born, -
there has been nothing he has wanted
that he was unable to acquire.
I'm sorry, but could there be some mistake?
As of yesterday, this card is no longer valid...
What do you mean?
As of now, the account
has zero funds in it.
This card ceased to be valid 24 hours
ago and can't be used anymore.
I want to talk to the manager.
Unfortunately, the manager
is out right now...
Feel free to take your time.
Please call us when you're done.
Mr. Duke Togo? We've received
a phone call for you.
Would you happen to remember me?
This is Nicolas Miller.
We've left the contents of your
safety deposit box intact.
If not for that cash, I daresay the job
you've taken on would have been affected.
My employer holds you
in the highest regard.
He wishes not to hire you, but to join with
you as an equal. That is his newest proposal.
What do you think? I'd say there
is no drawback for either party.
So you've concluded
your conversation?
Do you know who was on
the phone just now?
No, unfortunately. I am not
allowed to make such inquiries.

Rockford's Ambition
You're saying he refuses to
concede, no matter what?
I'm very sorry.
Work fast, Miller.
If we don't contain Golgo 13 here and now,
the time will come when he will set his sights on me.
And I cannot be allowed to die.
Our family's ambitions must be realized.
Yes... our vast resources shall
Grant us dominance over the world!
Yes. Exactly right,
Mr. Rockford.
Now then... what can I do
to get him in my grasp?
Take out the mafia boss Shalim Klein! I won't
be satisfied till he's torn limb from limb!
He keeps himself extremely
well protected.
However, Klein has never
missed a weekend mass.
He's sure to show
up at the church.
That just might be your chance.
What the...?!
Where'd it come from?
Where is he?! Hey!
I've been waiting for you.
Here's your payment, $3 million.
It was supposed to be
wired to a Swiss account, -
so when you suddenly told me to do it
in cash instead, I had to scramble.
To be honest, having to put this much
money together really was a lot of work.
By which I mean, just
after you contacted me, -
I learned that all of my assets
had been completely frozen!
My secret account was frozen
in just the same way.
It seems you're being
targeted by a powerful enemy.
David Rockford.
He's head of the Rockford family, which
runs the largest conglomerate in the world!
He is the only one who could
do this to someone like ME!
David Rockford?
The Rockford family's assets, as they've been
disclosed, are worth $6 trillion, 500 billion.
I'm sure they're actually worth
several hundred times more.
The Rockford conglomerate controls
over 1,000 different companies
in several countries
and industries.
In other words, -
almost all of the world's largest, most
powerful companies are owned by Rockford!
You can be sure of that.
What's more, he pumps a tremendous amount of
money into elections and revolutions worldwide.
He's on his way to controlling not just
the world's economy, but also its governments!
Do you understand,
Mr. Duke Togo?
If you make Rockford
your enemy...
You make the WORLD your enemy!
Do you know where Rockford is?
No.
Only some of his most trusted aides would
know that, a very select few people.
Wait a moment. HE might...
Who?
The Huaqiao!
They have nowhere near the Rockford
conglomerate's economic power, -
They have nowhere near the Rockford
conglomerate's economic power, -
but their information network
is incredible indeed.
More importantly, they are, like you, some of
the very few who won't roll over for Rockford.
Rockford has tried to clamp down
on them, with mixed results.
Under their elder, Jiang-Sun Huang,
they seem determined to fight.
I'd say... it's only a matter of time
before the Huaqiao get dragged into this.
Jiang-Sun Huang.
Mr. Duke Togo?
I've come for you by order of my employer,
Jiang-Sun Huang. I am zhe-Chang tao.
Please.
How did you know?
That I was coming here.
Mr. Huang can get the list of those disembarking
at Taipei airport in under 10 minutes.
The truth is, Mr. Huang has been looking
for you for the past two weeks.
For me?
Yes.
But even with all the resources of his information
network, he was unable to contact you.
Rockford's doing, huh?
But then, just when he'd
given up hope, he found you.
Mr. Huang was overjoyed. Yes,
I'm very glad that you're here, sir.
I've brought Mr. Duke Togo.
At last, you've come.
Oh, what am I doing? You never give
anyone your right hand, do you?
Still, I'm glad
that you're here.
As you can see, I haven't got long. I was
determined to meet you before the end.
We Huaqiao, emigrants from the mainland,
have a history spanning 3,000 years
but now we face our
greatest peril.
Rockford?
Yes, that is indeed it!
If this were solely a matter of financial gain,
there'd still be room to reach an agreement.
But Rockford is different.
He seeks to trample us
completely underfoot!
E-excuse me.
It's most vexing.
It is clear that our power alone is not enough
to be able to stand up to Rockford. Therefore...
By all means, I wish to borrow your strength.
I want you to eliminate David Rockford.
What?!
You mean to say that he's hired
Golgo 13 to come after me?!
Sir. Without a doubt,
the client was Jiang-Sun Huang.
Shit! So he's made his move.
Damn you, old man! I should have
choked the life out of you!
What shall we do, sir? Now that Golgo 13 is in
action, perhaps we should postpone things...
Don't talk foolishness! There's
no way we can stop him!
No, wait! There is just one way that
may work, that might stop Golgo 13!
HIM.
He just might be able to...
Mr. Duke Togo? Just
a moment, please.
Do you know who I am, Mr. Togo?
I received a phone call
from a friend this morning.
I don't think I have to tell
you who this friend was.
Mr. Togo, you will stop this!
If you aren't headed for Switzerland
in the next three hours...
I'll make you the enemy of every
police force in the world.
Of course, that's something we would
like to avoid on our end as well.
Do we understand each other,
Mr. Togo?
I-I wonder if he was
able to reach Golgo 13.
If so, I think this will work itself out
somehow. But if he was unable to...
All we can do now is wait.
Well, th-this car is like a tank, so as long
as you're in here, I'm sure you're safe.
But the mountain lodge is-
Enough!
I said all we can do is wait, didn't I?!
What good would THIS be against Golgo 13?
I thought it best to at
least be prepared...
Still nothing out
of the ordinary.
Hello?
Oh! So you got hold of him?
Is that so? Excellent.
With this, your
reelection is assured!
Thank goodness.
Oh! How careless of me!
No worries.
I'm sure he was rather surprised. To get a direct
warning from the leader of the free world...
Yes, yes! Indeed! If it were
me, I would doubt my own ears!
Don't sound pathetic.
You're standing before the man who's on
his way to acquiring the entire world.
Yes, indeed! Serving at your side, I sometimes
forget the importance of such things!
You've done well, Miller.
This is for you.
Thank you very much.
Now then, this time we MUST devise
a surefire way to make him...
To make Golgo 13 ours,
and as soon as possible.
It's beautiful.
I can't believe that, seen from here,
the forest and the river were so beautiful.
Indeed, sir. How beautiful this scenery
is, bathed in the light of the moon!

the target is a convict inside
a maximum-security prison.
Golgo sets up his rifle from
inside a tent in the forest.
He will have just one chance
within the next 10 hours.
But can he can continue to peer through
that scope, pushing his very limits?
