Though I devour the five lands
and drink the three oceans dry,
I am powerless against the sky,
for I have neither wings, nor legs, nor hands.
I am the world snake.
My name is Jormungand.
We have always treaded the borderland
I will adventure with you from here
Anyway, I don't know anymore what to say
We have always treaded the borderland

We are a killing team
A state-of-the-art fighter just like that one killed my parents with its payload of high-tech bombs.
There are those who invent new weapons,
those who manufacture them,
those who sell them,
and those who use them.
I will hate them for all eternity.
I wonder if God knows how I feel.
Move your feet, soldier!
Come on! One, two! One, two!
She's Koko Hekmatyar, a young arms dealer.
I travel with an arms dealer.
Gun Metal - Calico Road
All eight of my men are already here.
You'll be number nine.
They all have a screw loose, but don't be alarmed.
This will be your first time meeting them, but sadly there's no time to tell each other our live's stories.
We have a bit of a problem.
The boondocks of Eastern Europe are holding things up.
I'm making it your job to help out with that.
This will be your rite of passage ceremony
as well as a test of your skills.
Mao. Wiley.
Who's the kid, Koko?
He?
Listen up!
This is Jonah.
Your new recruit is a child soldier?
And he's got iron. Shit...
Don't wet your pants just yet.
Be so kind as to explain the situation, Tojo.
Same as the last time you asked.
Our container is still held on port premises.
The Customs Safety Agency wants to hear from you, Koko.
Seems they want to keep it.
Which means we need to get our stuff back.
Comprende?
I don't give a damn.
Just tell me who to shoot.
Lehm! Valmet!
Prepare to move out! Get going!
Miss Hekmatyar, are you aware of the repercussions this container will have on my country?
The military can never get their hands on it.
If you plan on doing this regardless, you'll reap what you sow!
You'll regret this, girl!
No, you will.
What do you think of your new comrades, Jonah?
Nothing.
That's so cold.
Before hiring you, I looked into your past.
I know where you lived and where you fought.
I know what you like and what you hate.
I know the reason you were exiled.
You hate weapons, don't you, Jonah?
You don't even want to answer?
I hate talking.
I know. But you'll have to, working under me.
So? Opinions, Valmet?
About Jonah?
So far it's been all introductions. How would I have an opinion?
I don't know. He seems very tense.
Koko is in danger! She's alone in the car with that creepy boy!
This happens every time there's a new recruit!
If something happened to her, I'd kill the traitor and then myself.
Hey, Lehm! Don't start smoking just because we're alone.
Put out the cigarette or open the window.
Sure, sure.
When did you light it?
The smell will get in my hair!
Say...
What is it? Ask anything!
How do you ordinarily treat people who tail you?
"Shoot first, ask never!"
He opened fire!
Jonah!
Jonah! Jonah!
Say something before you start shooting!
That startled the hell out of me!
Don't be absurd.
Those were just scouts.
We're in for the real show now.
I have the container that belongs to that gun kid Koko Hekmatyar in my port.
We need to keep it from the air force.
Do you want to know what's in it?
Upgrades for three squadrons that form the backbone of our country's air defense.
It would put our air force on par with those of our neighbors.
You know what would happen to our country if the military got the shipment and installed the upgrades.
At any rate, make sure the police stay out of this.
There's a firefight?
Don't worry, I dispatched a unit.
All hope is lost if they make it to the port.
Over.
That's one tough van.
And their counterattack is pissing me off.
This is bogging us down.
We have to hurry or Koko will be out of escape routes.
I'm doing my best.
Lehm, get me closer to the van.
You serious?
Koko, the left lane.
A new enemy?
Let's cruise over to the port, sweety!
The Voschod 6?
That damn old fart!
Looks like the two behind us took care of the rest.
And the guys in the jeep stopped firing after we got off the highway.
Jonah, you called me Koko there, didn't you?
I'm sure you did! I like that! It's so kind! Keep calling me—
Koko! Koko!
Time to go to hell.
Save us a spot, gun girl.
Heads down!
I'll blow you to the moon!
They've got an anti-tank missile!
An FGM-148 Javelin?!
He laughed?
They need twenty seconds to reload.
I got this. They won't get a second shot.
All units and the Hewlett port guards are to withdraw.
All members of Voschod 6, pull back.
I repeat. Voschod 6, pull back.
Our country must now brace for war.
It's no longer in my hands.
Let's assume you killed me to get back at arms dealers.
You'd have to scatter my water boys when they surround you.
Maybe they don't look it, but they can be pretty fierce.
So, what would you need for that?
Guns, of course.
Could you live without weapons?
Of course not.
You'll live your whole life with a gun in hand.
You hate them more than anyone,
but just as well you also know you can depend on them.
Follow and obey me, Jonah.
I am an arms dealer.
I can teach you to accept guns.
Why do you sell weapons?
For world peace.
Wake up, Jonah.
Your shift is up next.
Swap with me. Join Lehm the geezer.
You— I should get some sleep.
Put something warmer on! It's cold.
I'm so damn sleepy.
Good morning.
Morning.
Rare for you to ask questions.
So what I gathered from that was:
Why is an extremely skilled, battle-hardened and unrivaled soldier like me obeying Koko, an arms dealer little more than a girl?
I don't remember all the praise.
You've only been with us for a few days, so it might be difficult to understand.
I do it...
because it's fun.
Koko, that hurt! Are you sleepwalking again?
Everyone has their own reasons, don't they?
Sorry, Valmet!
One day when you've found your own reason, you'll understand.
You'll figure out what it means to be part of the group and how skilled—
Skilled... Where was I?
The toilet's the other way, Koko.
This is an emergency!
A convoy has entered the country from the north.
If the information and the numbers are to be believed,
then they are transporting Mil 24D attack helicopters,
more commonly known as the Hind D.
There are fifteen disassembled ones and spares for all.
This is obviously the work of someone who got wind of our operations and wants a piece of the pie.
This is just too convenient.
But that's to be expected.
The real issue is...
Headquarters told me about this.
They'll cut my pay if this goes bad.
I'm in deep shit.
Try not to break your arm there or you'll make it worse.
Commence operations.
We need to prevent their delivery!
I expect this will get ugly, so prepare to swat flies.
I want you to be in top form.
Aye, ma'am.
Well, I'll leave you all to that.
Valmet! You and Tojo will negotiate with the Defense Ministry.
Lehm, Hugo, Lutz and Mao: Get your weapons.
You will be my backup.
Wiley, R! Stay here and act as a relay between me and HQ.
Jonah, with me.
Head out.
This is Koko Hekmatyar.
Case Orange.
I repeat. Case Orange.
Did you tell the moving men they don't have to come today?
Yes, Mr. Kroshkin.
You can go home then. Good work.
C. K. Kroshkin?
Yeah, he's an independent arms dealer.
He's active in Europe.
They say he used to be in intelligence.
I think that's him.
Have you told them all that?
What if he's dangerous?
I don't want something to happen to Koko!
Do you really think she needs me to tell her?
She has five people with her, you know?
You should be more worried for me.
No.
You can take care of yourself.
I only risk my life for Koko.
Seriously?
What if we're up against Colonel Matrix?
I'd leave you and run.
Take this, Jonah.
I have my own.
Spare, then.
I've heard the rumors and the intel is trickling in now, and this is one annoying opponent.
My line of work is full of people like him.
Times are good.
Times?
She told us to hunt.
Been a while since the last time.
A hunt!
Sometimes our boss just blows a fuse.
Jonah, this time you're not a soldier, but...
I know! Act like my little brother.
Until I give you the signal. Under no circumstances earlier.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Kroshkin.
My name is Koko Hekmatyar.
Ms. Hekmatyar from the HCLI. I've heard about you.
Sorry. I just moved offices,
and my business cards are buried in one of those boxes.
Anyway, take a seat please.
I can make you coffee at least.
Should I get you a coke?
Who was he again?
Your little brother, huh?
Anyway, I think I have a good idea why you're here.
Let's talk.
You want me to stop the import of the Hind D's?
It might prove difficult, though I won't say it's impossible.
I'm more of a dove among the air force bigwigs.
But you know, that business with your boss
made me wonder about upgrading the Fulcrums.
Let me contact Hekmatyar.
That's good, he took the bait.
Pull the AA card.
Sorry about that.
What's this?
Now that wasn't nice of you.
Looking to start a price war?
Looks like you're after trouble.
Don't you have some sympathy for a fellow arms dealer?
No.
I don't cling to human weakness like that.
This is how it looks to me:
"I made this ranch rich in cows,
and now someone is trying to let sheep graze on the fields."
It's me.
I don't know who talked the ranch into that,
but the cowboys might wind up shooting them.
Kiss my ass, bitch!
Don't shoot!
Exactly. It'd be more trouble than it's worth.
Looks like my sources had the right of it.
Are you really keeping a child soldier around?
You're more fucked up than me.
Feel like a man yet?
I heard you have plenty of hired guns, but you better not be trying something funny.
I have snipers!
They'll splatter your brains on the wall.
Do you want to go home yet?
Just head out the door.
The Hinds will go where they're supposed to.
I'd appreciate it if our partnership conti—
You're such a simple man, Kroshkin.
Huh?
I'll give you a hint. Look at my eyes.
Take a good look at my eyes.
You can see yourself in them.
But I'm sorry to tell you I'm not looking at you.
We sell weapons, these iron tools of murder.
Selling them is a battle much like any other.
The fuck are you talking about?!
Luckily modern phones are waterproof.
I told you not to try anythin—
The snipers?
Try calling them.
Hey, Lehm!
Want me to shoot him? My finger is itching, man.
Cut it.
Yeah?
Who're you?
Okay. I think we're done with them.
Well done. Pull back at once.
Now, then.
Your victory is nothing but a piece of paper.
Yes. Strike through twice,
and sign it to confirm cancellation.
The Hinds have been taken care of, Koko.
Kroshkin's contract was signed,
but the colonel just went back on it.
Koko...
It's just a scratch.
It's just bleeding a lot.
You're lucky.
So much for that.
Let's go back.
Now I know the people that sell weapons.
We might not see eye to eye, but I think I'll tag along.
I travel with an arms dealer.
We'll meet Valmet and Tojo in the next city.
We leave at nine.
How did the mission with her go?
I let her get hurt.
You were meant to, weren't you?
A kid like you doesn't have to worry about it.
Think about why you have to fry eggs and nothing but eggs.
We're starved.
This is the initiation ceremony for my group.
Today armies, countries, organizations and families have changed for you.
You are an egg that hatches into a comrade.
Say hello to your brothers, Jonah.
Horrible...
This is terrible...
hikari yo kotaeru mata tsumi
Light shines on my newest sin
sougon no ma ni yurameku ayamachi
and I tremble in the solemn shine
fujou shite iki wo tsuki
I resurface and draw a breath
tokasare majiru dake no tsugunai wo te ni shita
But my salvation faded all too soon
mujun haramu kono sekai no tou
This world, filled with contradictions
omoi tsukashiteru zakuro no me ni
reminds me of a bead of garnet
wataru kumo ne fushi wa mou nai
There is no rhythm in the passing of the clouds
suiheiki no tsuranuku kodou
just a chaotic ripple on the water
