The funeral for the current president's head guard, Denzel...
...who was assassinated after arriving home, was held today.
The president has been a friend since before inauguration...
...and is mourning Denzel's mysterious death.
He attended the funeral looking very grieved.
Sharif...
Just take it easy.
l...
Don't say a thing.
Are you allowed to move now?
l can't say this place is completely safe.
He needs to rest, but this is beyond our control.
lf Raffin finds out the senator is here, she'll come for sure.
Where are you going?
Sorry, but l can't tell you.
l'm sorry, Hard.
lt's you...
Those flowers...
The lnis flower.
Do you know them?
Yeah.
Were you planning to shoot him right from the start?
You don't happen to know where Bolt is, do you?
No, l haven't seen him since.
Hey, you seem to know Bolt from before...
l didn't want him to see me screw up like this.
You're both mercenaries, but you're completely different.
l don't understand mercenaries.
l'm the one who made Denzel die.
Was that the price for me to remain in this seat?
You said your name was Bolt.
l won't need to be guarded any longer.
You can leave now.
lt's not like the contract was canceled.
What?
That serious expression is out of character.
lt's this whole country that is out of character!
lt's not like l don't understand.
But that's the way it is; it can't be helped.
Can you just let it go at that?
A single mercenary has the country's future in her grip.
What on earth's going on?!
Why take it out on me...?
Hey, where are you going?
Legwork!
Yeah, but where?! Wait, Thelma...!
R-Raffin?!
Find her!
Yes, sir!
Why'd she come to this room?
Do you know Raffin?
l've heard about her.
Excuse me.
Raffin has cut off communication.
What's that?!
She's clearly rebelling.
Then she won't follow orders?!
This is meaningless unless we can control her.
You're responsible for letting her run wild like this!
Don't worry.
Have you forgotten that we moulded her as a weapon?
Couldn't you be more clear?
Raffin's running wild is like a private army on the loose.
We couldn't ask for a better outcome.
ln any case, find Raffin.
Yes, sir!
By the way, what about the mercenary?
He's also hinting at running wild for you.
Just as expected.
Oh, l see. l'll be careful.
Thanks a lot.
Bye.
Well?
Everyone says the same thing.
"Don't get involved."
Doesn't look good.
Hey, do you really think that head bodyguard Denzel...
...had anything to do with Raffin?
Huh?
Hello?
The voice sample matches that of the person...
...contacting Thelma Abigail!
l thought so.
Hard.
Thelma?
Right. l'll head there, too.
You...
Guess your hands are tied now that your contractor's dead.
What about it?
You've been used; he was a double-crosser.
You, Bolt Crank, of all mercenaries.
l wasn't used as badly as you.
What do you know?
This is the hideout? What a place...!
Keep it zipped.
Get it all on tape; don't be scared.
No probs!
Travis...
He's Thelma's...
This was done by a pro.
Where's Thelma?!
What happened to her?
She was taken as bait... to get to you.
Bait?!
The ruins of the Rezena float plane factory...
Hang in there!
Please...save Thelma...!
Hey!
You're Grant's guard!
This gun's bitter.
Hard, who is this guy?!
Hard!
Don't interfere.
l told you not to interfere.
Thelma!
Hard!
Raffin.
l won't forgive you people!
Shut up!
lt's you who won't be forgiven!
Forget about me-just shoot!
Shoot, Hard!
There's no way he could shoot.
That's exactly why the boss hired you!
The boss?
That's right. Our boss.
Don't expect me to laugh at your jokes, you assassin.
What a pity, Mercenary.
She told you to shoot.
So shoot.
But...!
Damn you!!
What?!
That was going overboard.
ls it all over now?
l wonder.
How's Bennett?
Oh...
Who's this boss Raffin mentioned?
Hey, Hard.
Who's the boss?
What's that sound?
lt's over with.
l thought we were goners.
Are they after us?!
You knew?
Are you positive?
Was he really planning all this?
"He"...? You don't mean...?!
Wait?!
Are you just gonna leave?!
Are you just gonna let him be?!
lt's your problem.
Hey, Bolt!
Let me take care of this.
No.
l'll put an end to it.
Thelma! What happened to Bennett?!
Where's Senator Sharif?
He's getting medical treatment.
Bennett was killed by Sharif!
What's that?!
And Denzel, too.
What's the meaning of this?!
Where's everyone?
They're all out.
Did something happen?
President Grant decided
not to run again.
He's also resigned from office.
The president has?!
The series of terrorist acts...
...have led the hard-liners to start making moves.
You mean, this country is...
With his close friend dead, the president's lost his spirit.
No...
Let's have a toast.
The industries freely promise their gratitude...
...and cooperation for your skills.
The military, as well.
Thank you, gentlemen.
And we must be grateful for the president's prompt decision.
A toast, to the president's prompt decision...?
Right.
A toast to the president.
He's become a pillar of the State.
And to the wretched mercenaries.
Now, it's about time to return to public life.
Tomorrow Sharif's going out into public, finally.
l thought you said mercenaries weren't assassins.
Your point being...?
Gonna turn me in to the cops?
Just asking, that's all.
This is gonna be a real scoop.
You don't have to tell me that.
Wonder what Bolt would do?
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
l've been shot by a heartless assassin, yet l did not die.
l give my life to you, and to this country!
Sharif!
Hard!
Hard, you...!
What're you doing, Thelma!
This is a huge story!
l know that!
H-Hey...!
Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with you.
So you are an assassin after all, Mercenary?!
That's funny, coming from you.
Bolt!
Bolt...!
Wait, Bolt.
l owed you one.
For the lnis fee, before.
l'll take it.
Sly dog.
Shouldn't you quit it?
What?
Being a mercenary.
l can't stop.
