I see...
So it failed.
Regrettably.
He's a real thorn in my side. And he cannot be dealt with through normal means.
Yes sir.
But everyone has a weakness.
A weak point buried deep within their instincts.
That's right.
Where's our next soldier?
We're preparing him as we speak.
Good. We also need more soldiers.
Yes sir.
Don't let me down.

So faraway hashiridasou!
So faraway - let's run!

And let's not bother with the breaks - full throttle.
Oh someday itsu no hi ka
Oh someday - one of these days

You'll be at my place where nobody can find you.

kimi to dattara mitsukaru bokura no dream
If I'm with you we'll find our dream.
FEARLESS
Please fasten your seat belts!
Everyone, the main controls of the aircraft has suffered a partial system failure.
We are now attempting an emergency landing. We are specially trained to handle these situations.
Please remain calm.
I'm dreaming.
Let us out now!
The brakes aren't working?!
What now?
It's over! I'm done for!
Plastic explosives in the back molars?
What the heck-?!
A survivor of an airplane crash that caused 23 casualties has suddenly gone missing.
The authorities are treating this case as a possible abduction.
So Mr. Aaron Maxwell, the survivor of that airliner crash, has gone missing, huh?
Don't scare me like that for God's sake!
Any luck with the probe?
Yeah, it's just like you suspected.
The janitor in that elevator survived a shipwreck.
That retiree on the train was rescued from a helicopter tour that made a hard landing.
Not only that, the both of them have later gone missing.
Then they pop out of nowhere trying to ice you. Hardly a coincidence, right?
Take a look at this woman.
"Car Driving On Mt. Rainier Plummets. Driver Anne Brown Suffers Minor Injuries."
I see... so this woman also miraculously survived a freak accident.
Guess it's Seattle for me.
Also, one more thing.
Through the internet? That's gonna cost extra.
...Actually, you already paid me a fair amount for this probe.
I'll be waiting for your call.
Here it is.
Miss Brown?! Miss Anne Brown?!
And I came at this hour expecting her to be home.
Hey, let go!
What are you doing?
Anne?
They swept her away right in front of me!
They're likely the same bunch that abducted the others. But the question is why?
Hold on a minute.
I just got some info!
Where's the location?
Hey, let me handle it! I'm getting that info out of him!
I'll ask once more: where's the location?
I can't win with you, Christ.
So you're "Blue Fire."
You're the first person I've met who's not surprised that I'm still a kid.
Your info is solid, right? Then your age or sex doesn't matter.
Gotta admire your thinking.
We can't talk here, so come with me.
I hack into the FBI computers as a hobby.
That's how I got my hands on their investigative reports relating to the abductions.
Solbeno, huh?
You know about him? That speeds up the conversation.
Igeri Solbeno.
Former KGB agent. We don't see a lot of him due to his photophobia.
He has an abnormal hatred toward a certain sniper that ruined a mission.
He immigrated here following the Soviet collapse along with his former KGB subordinates.
The FBI believes that he's going after this sniper.
Pull up the data they have on Solbeno's people.
Those abductees were literally The Chosen Ones.
They've lost any sense of fear after being scared witless during those freak accidents.
Fearless.
That's right. And Solbeno discovered the value of that fearlessness.
He's using them as soldiers that don't fear death!
No, that's not right.
It's not that those soldiers don't fear death, they just don't think of it.
Even at that...
...the sniper Solbeno is going after is still alive, isn't he?
And a woman they think has that fearlessness was recently abducted.
And that sniper is still alive? Awesome!
I'd like to meet that sniper just once! Don't you think so too, mister?
Don't care which way, huh?
Well, it doesn't really matter to me how you use that info.
Thanks for that service fee. Now I can finally upgrade my computer.
The allowance my mom gives me would've never covered it.
Christ, what a kid. So what are you planning on doing?
Spread the word that I'm going to the city where Solbeno's hiding.
Wha- you're gonna face those guy? Alone?
Don't turn on the lights!
Please forgive me.
I thought you weren't here.
Why are you doing this to me?
Because you survived a serious accident.
Are you scared?
Huh?
She's fearless.
Just as I thought, Anne. You're fearless.
Fearless?
Right now, you have absolutely no sense of fear.
The terror you went through during that serious accident broke down the primal phobic programming in your brain.
I have no fear?
People who possess instinctual fear would normally shut their eyes reflexively and scream.
But you don't feel a thing.
You will receive special training in order to become my soldier.
Soldier?
You will kill the sniper called Golgo 13 who has caused me great pains.
You'll become my first-class soldier.
That has nothing to do with me!
Yes, absolutely nothing.
But the drugs I gave you will have you following my every order.
Train her well.
Yes sir.
What about the man?
He's going through the training as you instructed.
Soon, my soldiers will kill that man.
He's here.
He's heading for the hotel just as we anticipated.
I shall take your luggage.
This way.
Thank you very much.
Who's there?
The bellboy!
My apologies, I forgot to tell you about the amenities provided by your room.
You can speak from there.
I hear what you're saying, but I need to be in view of the facilities.
Hey, what's going on?
Good evening.
Has the vehicle I rented from NB Rental Cars arrived yet?
Yeah, I was holding it for you.
Did something happen?
Th-They've failed. Our soldiers went after him at the same time...
...but Golgo's still alive.
He didn't notice me.
Since he has just avoided all those attacks, I can kill him now.
Now!
He took out my perfect soldiers.
Does this mean... he has absolutely no weakness?
He's coming.
Splendid work, Golgo 13. Do you remember me?
I'm not going to put up a fight now that you're here.
It's over. I've accepted my fate.
As you know, I cannot stand bright lights.
Forgive me for having us meet in this dark room.
I'll turn on the lights now and you can shoot me.
But please don't expose me to the light for too long.
It's my last wish as a man who's about to die.
How did you know I was right here?
A voice from a speaker is not the same as the real thing.
No matter how precise the equipment.
But why?
Why weren't you killed by my perfect soldiers who didn't fear death?
Fear of death... and fear itself are the only things that keep us from danger.
One is able to survive as long as he fears death.
That's why I'm here standing.

I'm remembering you, but

I won't cry like I did that day.
shinai
I won't.
One rainy day, Golgo met Cecilia, a woman with a dark past.
The two met again by chance on the same flight.
But they became caught up in an incident on that plane.
Cecilia aggressively captivated Golgo in that dangerous situation, but...
