Okay, go!
Got it!
This woman is...
Yes.
Princess Cybele of the Pulizia Monarchy.
She was pretty hot, Miss New Editor.
But I'm amazed you have a picture like this...
Just from memory, I can tell you about over 250 VIPs,
celebrities whose scandals he's uncovered, in 42 countries worldwide.
Many of his pictures have had serious political and social consequences.
The Royal Family, Mob bosses... There's no picture I can't take.
Six times, it's almost gotten me killed.
I've been sued for character defamation over 100 times.
That just shows how good you are, Lance.
Your usual fee, okay?
No, I'd like double.
Actually, Chief Editor,
I've decided that it'll be my last picture before I throw away my camera.
Throw away his camera?
So he's going to retire?
Lance!
I'm sick of it.
I've been chasing celebrities for over 20 years. I'm done.
My curiosity's been sated, too.
Stop trying to bluff, Victor Lance.
What?
I've known you for many years.
I'm sure you know that your scoops have been declining in both quality and amount over the past few years.
That's because there's nobody worth chasing anymore.
I see...
Why don't you go out with a bang that'll surprise the whole world, then?
What do you mean?
Is there somebody else whose picture you want?
No, forget it, Lance.
Even you couldn't...
Wh-Who is it?
From the way you're talking, it must be some big shot!
I'll admit that you're extremely skilled.
But he's too dangerous.
I said, who is he?
Sir...
Th-That's... Golgo 13!
A sniper who kills for money.
An A+ class sniper who completes any job, no matter how dangerous.
There would be no greater scoop in the world than a picture of him the moment he shoots.
The moment he shoots.
Yes.
No photographer has ever taken a photo of him firing.
If you could capture it, you would go down in history as a legendary photographer.
But...
But?
He won't let anyone who sees him fire live.
That's why he's dangerous.
That sounds fun.
Perfect.
He's a worthy rival for me to hang my retirement on.
Golgo 13...
You got Golgo 13's schedule?
I know a good information broker
who can even hack into the Department of Defense's most classified servers.
You pulled the information out of the Pentagon?
He got a little spooked the second he heard the name of the guy I was looking for, though.
Makes sense, considering your target.
Snipers and photographers are basically the same, Patrick.
They find the best position, wait for their chance, and then...
Shoot!
They just use different tools.
I see.
In other words, since I've gone after the same prey for so many years, I know what he'll do.
I'm going to win this game.
I'm counting on you, Lance.
If "One shot, one kill" is his style, then I'm only going to take one photo on this job.
Just one?
I'll capture the second when he pulls the trigger and the barrel flashes.
And that one picture will make the name "Victor Lance" a legend!
This is the building complex where the target's hideout is.
If I was going to go after him, I'd...
That's it...
And this is the best position to see him.
Now, I just wait for the target and Golgo 13.
Here he is!
Now, show up, Golgo 13!
Why isn't he showing up?
It can't be...
It's Lance.
That schedule of Golgo 13's you got me... It can't be a fake, can it?
If you don't believe me, I'm hanging up.
Impossible...
Th-Then where did he-
Impossible!
From a place like that?
From a tossing boat?
I never thought he would strike from a place even you couldn't predict... What a monster!
A monster?
You're saying I can't get him 'cause he's a monster?
Next time!
Next time, it's for real!
You're going to keep doing it?
There's nothing!
There's nothing I can't photograph!
L-Lance?
I might have made a huge mistake in giving him that idea...
I've known you for years!
Why don't you get it?
You're going after Golgo 13!
Please!
Just one more time!
I need the information from you... Please, please!
Come on!
I've found his next job.
It's in London.
I hacked into the computer of the agent who hired him and found the target's code name.
The target is an arms merchant named "Bishop."
I don't know where he is now, but he'll be returning to his hideout in London by tomorrow afternoon.
Where's his hideout?
Belic Road?
Okay, got it.
Lance, I'm warning you.
You need to stop this.
If he finds out, you're done for!
I don't want to get any more involved.
This is my last call.
Yeah.
You're a fool.
You're insane!
Just wait, Golgo 13.
I'm going to win this fight, and become a legend!
I'm sure of it.
The top floor of that building is the target's hideout.
Go around that building.
Jeez... It's not even that nice of a building.
I don't understand why my client asked me to design one just like it.
You could hit the target even from this hotel, but if he was further back in the room, it'd be impossible.
With a possible firing angle of 98 degrees,
and an effective firing range of 2500 feet, Golgo 13 can only complete his mission under these conditions.
The problem is what point inside this cone he'll pick.
For example, the Lead Hotel is ideal for a sniper.
But which window will he aim from?
If I can't predict that, I can't set my camera.
No, wait...
If I make it so he can't aim from any window...
Okay, that halves it to 49 degrees.
This is the only place he could aim from.
The emergency exit stairs of the Adelu House.
This is it.
And now that I know where he's sniping from, I just need to pick my spot.
He won't let anyone who takes a photo of him live.
A point where I can see and photograph him from, but he can't see me.
A place like that...
Of course.
There'd be no such thing.
No, there's gotta be some way.
Some way of keeping him from noticing when I take his picture.
I know!
I can do that!
Now the game is truly mine!
This is the best angle.
Let's get started.
Is this the Lead Hotel?
I've put something interesting in your hotel.
Now, fall for my trap, Golgo 13!
Sir, sir!
I'm sorry to disturb your rest.
We're asking all of our guests to evacuate.
Why?
We received a phone call saying that a bomb has been planted in this building.
We'd like you to leave immediately.
Listen to the policeman!
Come this way!
Wait!
Just like I thought, he was going to aim for the Lead Hotel.
Now he's only got one sniping point left!
What are you doing, Golgo 13?
It's almost time for the target to get here!
There he is.
It's the target!
Now come, Golgo 13.
I'm ready whenever!
What's wrong, Golgo 13?
Why don't you show up?
H-He's here!
Pigeons?
I win, Golgo 13!
It looks like the time has come for a photo of you firing!
He's mine!
I've been done in.
Damn!
But why? How did he know I was pointing my camera at him?
I see...
The light from the sun reflected off my camera lens...
To be able to watch the surrounding area so carefully when he's firing...
What a monster!
He is a monster.
Patrick.
I lost, totally.
Yeah, let's have a drink when I get back.
To celebrate my failure to become a legend.
I get it!
He even knew that the target would open his curtains to look at the 12:00 news on that electronic ticker,
and he was waiting for that.
What a terrifying man!
A-A perfectionist monster...
Golgo 13!
Golgo meets a man on an infiltration mission...
Code name: Ax-3.
His target was the same as Golgo's.
He was a first-class sniper.
When the mission is complete, the fate of professionals awaits them.
Next time, on Golgo 13:
Death shadow of the setting sun.
Don't stand behind him, if you value your life.
