Have him kill me.
Have him kill me quickly.
Hurt him a bit more first.
It's your fault for trying to escape.
No one's ever escaped from this place.
Come back in your next life.
When we lose one, another one comes.
The fun never ends.
You know what that means, Asian?
"Be hopeful?"
Those are the words of the warden.
The only people in here are those sentenced to life in prison or death, right?
What "hope" do we have?
Enter.
Prisoner number 579.
Duke Tougou, a second-generation Japanese immigrant.
Robbery.
Rape.
Arson.
Attempted murder.
Vandalism.
Personality: Violent and cold.
Sentence: Life in prison.
Of course.
I am the Warden, Kickers.
579, there's something I want to tell you.
Look at the inside yard.
That's the prisoner check light.
If anyone disappears, it turns red.
You don't want to turn it red.
The 19th man who turned it red just became a star on my pistol's grip.
Make sure you don't become the 20th star.
Nothing will ever happen between yesterday and tomorrow.
Nothing will happen at all!
Nothing.
Pound that into your head.
Is that what you meant by "be hopeful?"
The psychology of the prisoners who come here exhibits a strange response.
Tell them to die and they'll cling to life.
Tell them to have hope, and they'll give up.
I see.
That sounds like the thoughts of a twisted little man.
Say that again and I'll kill you on the spot!
Take him away. Now!
You've got a new friend!
Get along!
Hey.
How about you say hello at least, buddy?
You don't need to give him any.
Sit down, shut up, and watch everyone else eat.
Hey, let me sit there.
I'm Mouse.
If you're not sure about something, just ask me.
When I saw you come in, I figured we'd finally got somebody with some spine in here.
I know what you're thinking.
Join me and it'll happen.
You shouldn't look at them too much. They're the guys from the west special ward.
Escape attempts, attacking guards, they'll do anything.
Well, they don't know when God's going to call upon them, so it makes sense.
Condemned prisoners?
You got it.
No talking!
Talking gets you put in solitary.
What's with that attitude?
What about it, Bulldog?
What?
Don't talk to me like that, Bulldog.
Why you little-
Damn!
You?
Alaska Penal Code Article 350.
A prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment
who attacks another person via a method that has the possibility to inflict lethal or great bodily harm...
is to be sentenced to death!
You're new here,
so get on your knees and beg, and I'll forgive you.
Get on your knees and lower your head.
It won't help social morals if I beg.
In accordance with Article 350, I'm transferring you to the west special ward for condemned prisoners!
Hey, 7.
Can you hear me?
What?
My name is Blue Eyes Zalas.
Duke Tougou.
You a jap?
If you want something, spill it.
Tell me one thing.
What the hell were you doing back there?
You weren't even remotely afraid of the death penalty.
From the look of things, you were thinking "I'm leaving anyway," Tougou.
So what?
This is Pandora Island, they say it's impossible to escape.
19 tried to escape and none survived.
I hear a few made it outside of the building, but it ended there.
There's no way you could make it across those tides.
The ones who died in the sea were lucky.
Normally you're killed before you even make it that far.
You saw it, didn't you?
With that light out there it's impossible to make it to the roof.
Some guys tried to go up the water spout,
but all of them were shot.
Do you want to escape, Zalas?
So I was right?
You got a way out, Tougou?
Hey, they're gone.
Yeah.
Floors five and six are factory areas, aren't they?
Yes.
I work in the auto parts plant on the fifth floor.
Get me the parts I'm about to tell you.
Alright.
Take off your socks.
Now!
Okay.
I unthreaded the socks to make a thick thread, and rubbed it with Vaseline.
I'll use a grinder and a file to whittle down metal into a thick thread.
That'll finish the string file.
And I've got the grease ready.
OK, we'll do it tonight.
Four people tried to escape by that water spout,
but they were all killed.
What's your point?
You gonna try to escape?
I think you could do it.
Would you take me too?
Break time is over.
After inspection and roll call, return to your cells.
I repeat:
Break time is over.
After inspection and roll call, return to your cells.
Yes, well done.
OK.
There's no time.
Let's start.
Alright.
So there's really nobody out there planning something stupid?
Well?
Normally you would be in the west special ward.
You've been sentenced to death, after all.
You do know why I've made your sentence a life-sentence instead, right?
Of course.
What about Tougou?
Men like that will always try to run.
No, for the moment he hasn't said a thing-
Don't miss it if he tries.
If you do, you're going back to the west ward!
Head along the building towards the water spout on the other side.
Got it?
Once the next light passes, we'll go up this pipe.
W-Will we really be OK even if the light shines on us?
If you can keep up with me.
It's coming.
T-The light!
Don't stop.
Hurry.
Here.
Don't just stay there.
Hurry, now.
Why?
Why didn't they see us even with the light shining right on us?
Halation.
Halation?
What happens when the headlights of an oncoming car shine in your eyes?
Yes.
Any objects inside the halation can't be seen by the source of the light.
The area on the fifth floor is at just the right angle.
That's why I went up that water spout.
You're pretty damn good.
Now then, let's go get wet.
Take me too!
I won't slow you down!
So, please!
So I follow a rat, and look what I find!
You fell for my trap.
I thought you'd do it, Tougou.
You're pretty damn good.
I'll praise you for making it to the roof.
You're star 20.
Run!
Dammit!
Quic-
Let's go.
Now I know why I put grease all over my body.
Now we won't get cold!
Don't talk.
You'll waste energy.
It's here.
W-We did it!
Take that, assholes!
You were going to escape from the start?
You've even got clothes prepared, damn you're good.
Amazing.
You even had a gun ready?
I see...
You're going to fight the jailers when they come after us, right?
Y-You can't-
Somebody said that they can't wait until your sentence comes up.
D-Dammit.
They thought I was going to talk before I died?
Tell me your name!
My name is...
Golgo 13.
I see.
You're...
Golgo?
Golgo 13 takes out a drug kingpin who's being escorted by the FBI.
But a Mafia plot lurks beneath the surface.
What are they after?
Golgo will punish his employer's betrayal.
Next time on Golgo 13:
The Target Who Came Back.
Don't stand behind him, if you value your life.
