Gunslinger Girl (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 6 - Gelato - full transcript
When a bomb is discovered and diffused in the subways of Italy, Section 2 is assigned to aid the police in tracking down a bomber named Enrico Beldini. Through a careful investigation, it is discovered that Enrico is making deals with the Padania Republic Faction to acquire bombs and explosives. When Section 2 learns that the Enrico's PRF contact will be making a delivery to his hideout, the girls are ordered to infiltrate the compound and capture Beldini and his contacts.
ICE CREAM
A toy?
I wouldn't call it that.
They've been known to
explode and kill people.
But this one's too weak.
It's not like them.
The timer and everything else
seem amateur-like.
I'd be surprised if it even detonates.
So you're saying this was a diversion?
-This wasn't the real objective?
-Nope.
And the planned assault
on the national museum?
We've come across bits
and pieces of intelligence.
It's fleeting information like that
that tickles the analysts' instincts.
The militant factionists are
just raring to go.
I see. But your people don't believe that.
What got me riled up was
the amateur subway bomb.
It's just too much.
They're incapable of making
their own bombs.
Their pathetic excuse for a bomb
wasn't meant as a feint,
but to provoke the professionals' pride.
You'd make a good mystery writer.
No injuries were reported,
and officials aren't even certain
-What do you think?
-it was a terrorist group's bomb.
We knew from the start that
they couldn't make bombs.
I mean about how they thought
they could lure us out.
They sure underestimated us.
-They'll get no help from us.
-Yeah. Why should we?
The man back there is Enrico Perdini.
He's an ultra-left terrorist
in the Republican Faction,
and responsible for last year's
bombing at Republic Square
and four other incidents.
I see.
Well, Henrietta? Hear anything?
Complicated politics.
He's criticizing the southern
plant's development work.
"No more of the northern plant's tax funds
must go into the southern plant."
"If this plan succeeds,
the government will rethink its ways."
Changing his stripes to get funds...
He was originally an anarchist.
He changed his thinking?
No, he'll work under any flag
to get funds for his movement.
The R.F.'s Lombardian Plains
Freedom Movement is supported
by northern capitalists
who have followed the flow
of European right-turners
and anti-globalism.
Much different than ultra-left terrorists
who rob banks for funds.
Alright. Let's persuade them
from the proper direction.
They've lost sight of the goal.
If we make them relearn
the meaning of a just cause,
they'll have to...
Right. I'll get the committee moving.
I'll make sure it gets
delivered by 2:00 tonight.
When that time comes, give them a lesson
they'll never forget, Henrietta.
Enzo.
Is it okay for us to stop watching Enrico?
Don't worry, we have a team on him.
We'll capture him once
they've met the bomb makers.
Until then, prepare for the
assault at the branch office.
Incidentally, will one fratello
really be enough?
I'd like to capture the bomb makers alive.
That will make things tougher.
I'll call HQ and try getting
a few fratellos before tonight.
Thanks, Giuse. The Rome branch is
short of hands right now.
All the macho guys have left
for the museum.
What's Enrico's plan?
To blow something up, of course.
He'll go to any lengths
to get what he wants.
What's wrong?
Don't look so disappointed.
Giuse doesn't think you're unreliable.
If you and the backup from HQ
take care of things smoothly,
he'll give you a reward.
What's this? Perfume?
I suppose I buy her too much...
But the things I get her
are sort of like her salary.
Well, kids are most adorable
at around this age...
I can understand buying her stuff.
My own daughter's old enough
to go partying at night.
She rarely comes by the house anymore.
Tommaso.
I've brought support from headquarters.
Alright.
This is where they print
the government newspaper.
-It's no place for children.
-It's alright, Pietro.
She's the one I mentioned.
I've been informed.
Take her inside immediately.
Right.
Sorry. Getting outside help means
you gotta take their attitude.
I'm used to it.
Well, just relax until evening.
Do you need anything?
Yes, spare ammo for Henrietta,
and an FN57.
Jean? Pattern B.
Right.
Yes? Right.
Understood. Bye.
Bad news.
He gave them the slip.
Yeah. How did you know?
Our people caught up with him.
They're on his trail now.
He got off the subway.
Which station?
Cavour, B Line.
Alright. I'll follow him.
Okay.
Wait, that's one stop before the museum.
What's his real target?
No idea...
At any rate,
it won't matter after tonight.
I'll contact our guys there.
The backup...
The backup is already here, isn't it?
Yes. I called for Rico and Triela.
We've planned for multiple contingencies.
It'll be a while until
we find where they're hiding.
Take a nap while you decide
what you want for your reward.
Actually, I already know what I want.
He's not headed for the museum.
He's going in the opposite direction,
walking around Rome.
What's his target?!
Enrico's back.
Understood.
Enrico, why are you still in Rome?
I'd much rather make the deal in Ostia.
Sorry, Franca. I wanted to
scope out the location first.
Rome is in the lap of
this so-called agency.
It's dangerous to stay here.
Some guys followed me this afternoon,
but I shook 'em off.
They probably have their hands full
right now
with the ruckus at the museum.
Anyway, I want to do it tomorrow.
Deliver it by the appointed time tonight.
The bomb arrangements are set.
Did we really need their help?
Yeah.
Franca and Franco's bombs are
absolutely impossible to dismantle!
He's a lost cause.
There's no cure for a fool.
It's an order from above,
so we'll help him.
I'd prefer to have people
like him gone, though.
Where are they planting it?
That question gives me
second thoughts about this.
Should we hand it over?
Good question. If they really are serious,
then maybe we should give 'em a fake.
I'll get ready to go.
It's time, but the bomb makers
haven't shown up.
-Remain on standby.
-Roger.
Are they really gonna show?!
They'll come.
Enrico-san.
Something's wrong.
There's no traffic beyond the bridge.
Maybe there was an accident?
It's too hard to tell from here.
Accident reported.
The national police has
diverted traffic on this block
because of a three-car pileup.
Damn it!
Simone.
Yes?
The opposite bank seems odd.
I can hear police sirens.
Go check it out.
Understood.
Enzo.
It's started.
I don't care.
They're not gonna show tonight.
Grill that Enrico bastard!
Camouflage for a public security raid?
Probably.
Cut the lights! Stay out of the windows!
Lights out on the 3rd floor
of the southern building.
Enrico must be in there.
Can you see him?
Not from this position.
Understood.
Hirscher, how about you?
I'm having Triela climb up
from the west side.
Good. I'll send Henrietta in
so we can surround him.
Please don't shoot!
Please help...
There were scary people
downstairs with guns...
And then...
How'd this kid get inside?
Perfect timing.
We can use her as a hostage.
Don't worry! Come here!
Hurry up!
Hurry up before the guys with guns come!
Now be a good little--
Damn it!
Officers!
Did something happen on that holm?
There was an arrest last night.
It's off-limits now.
So Spain Square had a narrow escape...
Are you sure a simple
ice cream is all you want?
Especially during the middle of winter?
I'm sure. There's a meaning
behind ice cream in Spain Square.
Oh, my. Are you okay?
I'm sorry...
I'm glad your ice cream is okay!
You are in Spain Square, after all!
Yes, ma'am!
What is it?
That girl had Pupa perfume on.
So?
Pupa perfume and an Amati violin...
She must be the daughter
of a well-to-do family.
I sure am glad that
Enrico idiot got arrested.
It's girls like her that we
Republican Factionists are out to protect.

Understood.
Enrico, why are you still in Rome?
I'd much rather make the deal in Ostia.
Sorry, Franca. I wanted to
scope out the location first.
