Golgo 13 (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 7 - G senjou no sogeki - full transcript

It's just wonderful every time I hear it.

That's the King's Philharmonic Orchestra for you.

Yes. The harmonies with Thomas Simpson
on violin were so lovely.

Sure enough, Simpson is a London-born genius.

Mr. Simpson, if you'd please
get ready for your encore.

You won't even let me enjoy a cup of tea?

Bach's "Air on the G String".
Even I know this song.

It takes a lot of confidence
to play a piece like this.

Sir! Mr. Simpson!

Are you all right? Simpson!

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

Sharpshoot on the G String

"Through the unexpected incident
of snapping his G string, -

"Simpson has muddied his
30-year career as a violinist."

Shit!

Mr. Simpson, your students are here.

All right.

Yes, stop.

At that point, it's better to play it like this.

I'm not feeling well today.
Let's resume tomorrow.

Why?! Why can't I play in front of others?

Physically, there's nothing out of the ordinary.

It could be a mild hysteria or the first
sign of a psychosomatic disorder.

The best thing to do would be to relax
and just forget about the incident.

You must be joking! I have no time
to be taking things easy!

You see? It's that kind of personality
that results in added pressure.

Take a few days to relax.

You're telling me to bow out
of the charity concert?!

I don't want you to get upset over this.
I'm only thinking of your health.

Nothing's physically wrong with me!
Even the doctor said so!

Anyone would panic over an incident like that!

It was just one single mistake!

But it's been two weeks, and you still
can't perform to standard yet.

You should rest and get the treatment you need.

Just come out and say it! You can't perform
with a guy whose hand shakes!

You'd rather I were still a junkie?!

Simpson...

I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted.
But who on earth will play my part?

Gutten? Archer?

No...

Then who?! Tell me!

Kerensky.

Kerensky?!

Yes. I think you know he's in the country
on a concert tour right now.

But why Kerensky?! This concert is a tradition!

Why do you have to invite my Russian rival?!

Please, anyone but Kerensky! I'm begging you!

It's already been decided, Simpson.

But Mr. Simpson, carrying such
a large amount of money in cash...

It could be quite dangerous.

No, it's all right!

Oh, and I will definitely be in
attendance at the charity concert.

Sir, didn't you know?

Mr. Simpson was dropped
from the charity concert.

The deuce you say!

Apparently Kerensky,
the Russian, will perform instead.

It's the talk of the town right now!

I had no idea...

Hello?

Is this Simpson?

Yes.

I'm waiting at the London eye.

Very well.

Apparently you're the best in the world.
So you've never botched a job?

Aah. It was careless of me even to ask.

According to my friend in the SIS
who referred you, you're a pro among pros.

And so was I! Up until THAT.

It wasn't my fault!

But what happened that day
was so traumatic that even now, -

if I try to play in front of others,
my hands start to shake.

The traditional charity concert will be held soon.

I was scheduled to perform, but I was dropped!

Tell me what you need.

Yes, of course.

Kerensky became my replacement.
This I cannot forgive!

Sergei Kerensky?

You know of him?

Just the name.

Kerensky has been my rival for years!

He's popular in Russia, but in terms
of actual skill, I am his superior!

But if allowed to succeed here,
in concert with the King's Philharmonic...

No, this must be prevented at all costs!

I want you to shoot out his violin string
in the middle of his performance!

His violin string?

Yes! He's been asked to play
"Air on the G String" for his encore.

It is a piece that uses only
the four chords of the G string.

It is the G string I want you to shoot,
robbing him of his chords!

Without harming either him
or the violin, of course.

Kerensky will surely be rocked,
stunned into an ungainly standstill!

As anyone would be!

If the public at large would
simply understand that, -

I would be able to restore my reputation!

Will you accept, Duke Togo?!

And the map of the hall?

I brought it with me.

Slowly.

Yes...

This is it. Also on the disc is a recording
of Kerensky's performance.

I thought it might prove useful.

As you can see, I've prepared
your payment as instructed.

If you're a number one as well,
you should understand my feelings.

Bring Kerensky humiliation!

Another tour finished without incident.

It's too soon to feel relieved.
Now there's the charity concert in London.

What do you think could happen?
Or is this habit from your days with the FSS?

The late Alexander Litvinenko
was assassinated in London.

You haven't forgotten, have you?

Kerensky is also known for his comments
critical of the government.

I'm saying we mustn't let our guard down.

It had to be you. Another tedious request, is it?

I need you to retrofit an ArmaLite.

Increase scope magnification to 10x.

For the lens's f-number, dark is fine.

And on the foregrip, cut the screws to 3/8 pitch.

That's it?

Yes.

You don't say! A job like that,
anybody could do it in about an hour!

The target is a wire 50 feet away.

I've got it!

You're asking ME to do this because you're after
an unparalleled level of precision, is that it?

When can you have it done?

I'll have it ready first thing in the morning.

Still, I'm surprised you agreed to act
as Simpson's replacement.

I don't consider myself a replacement.
I feel bad for Simpson...

But performing with
the King's Philharmonic is an honor.

True, but still...

Furthermore, it's a charity concert.

If I can help children suffering
from poverty or war, -

I have no reason to refuse, do I?

Yes, it's as you say, Kerensky.

Th-there's nothing suspicious about me!
I just have a bouquet for Kerensky!

What?

Simpson.

Oh, Kerensky!

He's a friend.

Tonight, I'll be listening from the audience.
Please do your best.

Thank you. I appreciate your kindness.

And I pray for your success. Farewell.

Kerensky, you wretch!
Prepare yourself for a hell you've never known!

What is it?

A man passed by just now
carrying a camera case, right?

Yeah. From the AV room, to do some filming.

He had permission and I verified his ID.

I guess it was someone else.

He resembled a sniper I crossed
paths with a long time ago.

A sniper?

A first-rate sniper.

But if he were out to get Kerensky he wouldn't
have chosen the concert hall to do it at.

Today's King's Philharmonic was wonderful.

Kerensky was outstanding.
I look forward to his encore.

His string broke!

Yes! Now Kerensky shall know ignominy as well!

It was shot! The string was shot just now!

What?

Wait!

Why are you stopping me?
We have to stop this now, or-

The shooter has already
accomplished his mission.

Don't tell me that breaking the string
WAS the shooter's mission!

It would seem so.

Ludicrous! Hitting a violin string in
mid-performance is just impossible!

But the string broke, and that's a fact.

Kerensky...

He loosened the D string
and continued playing!

Dammit!

The sight of you giving your all
to such small things

Days in which you've become brave

You can't move if you stay as you are, indecisive

Like standing on a glass highway

Though it's filled with dreams and danger

Little by little, let's walk this long road

And just like that time before

You're laughing

In the breeze of the salt air, there was a whisper

That sparkling, faraway day was an illusion

It's far too soon to be defeated
by such trivial things

Till the end of time...

A mafia boss finds himself targeted by Golgo.

In order to learn the secret of
Golgo's fast movement, -

he acquires footage of Golgo
drawing his weapon...

And what was recorded was action
that could only be called godlike!
