Is he here?
S-Camera, standby.
So, Mr. Director, how does it feel to be nominated for an Oscar?
Not bad at all.
But I still haven't won anything yet.
It's still an honor, however.
There are rumors that you got a big star for your next project.
That would be great, but I wouldn't say that as of yet.
But it's true that we've made a few offers.
Be careful. If he notices then it's curtains for us.
Get a close-up! Get in as close as you can!
Hey... did he just...?
Relax, these state-of-the-art super telephoto lenses were developed by NASA.
To him we're just a tiny blip on the horizon.
Sir, is there something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
All right, that's a wrap.
Thus begins our one-of-a-kind film.
A film the likes no one has seen before.
So we're rolling the dice here, huh?

CASTING
All right, let's do this!
Scene 17, take one!
And... Action!
So you deceived me!
I've had it. I'm fed up with pushy women like you!
Please... don't leave me!
I told you, we're through!
Cut!
Hey, can't you speed up the ins and outs a little?
And we didn't have enough focus near the middle.
Lower the key lights a little!
We're getting some weird shadows under their noses during the close-ups!
Let's make this last cut count!
Nice work, Jean.
That look on your face when you rose from the floor will convince any hit man take a job.
Be sure to maintain that expression if you want this thing to look real.
I know, Eric.
Still, this script. It's so similar to my past that it's scary.
You've read up on that scenario, Eric?
This here's the sponsor of the movie we've commissioned from you.
I can't tell you his name for various reasons.
So let's start talking about the movie all of us are going to make.
We have two conditions you must meet in producing this film.
First is the scenario. It has already been completed.
We won't be allowing any changes.
And the other condition?
The casting.
So, this contract killer hired by the woman...
We will be using a real one, of course.
A professional that is at the very top in his field.
But, if we do that...
Yes, the man playing the leading part will die like it says in the script.
Well, at least you've noticed how marvelous this project is.
We will be distributing an altered script to your staff and cast that leaves out the ending.
That means there will be an incident involving the real live hit man during the last part.
It's an incident that is not in the script.
It's something that has never happened to anyone before during a movie.
Once it's complete, our company will handle the global distribution.
Make no mistake, this will be the world's biggest hit.
So, this top ranked contract killer we're talking about...?
This man.
Got it, you'll be hiring this man.
However, he must not know that he's in a movie.
He must think this is the real thing, not a movie, Jean.
I got it.
I've gotten in touch with that agent.
It looks like it'll be 7:00 tonight.
A woman called wanting to meet at 7:00 tonight in order to hire you.
Leave it right there.
Uh, right!
How's the reception on the hidden mike?
Just peachy. We can hear the whole area.
The phone's ringing.
Hello?
In twenty minutes... pick up a taxi in front of your apartment.
And then, uh-
Have the infrared camera on standby!
We're gonna be capturing the taxi stopping in front of Jean's apartment in 20 minutes!
All right.
It's now or never.
Don't push it, camera people!
If he sees us, it's all over.
Maintain your distance as you shadow them!
Roger that.
Um, I was only told to ride this taxi.
Shall we discuss the job?
So that means... you're...
That's right.
That's a great voice.
A voice of a star!
...that was how Paul... Paul Dominic betrayed me.
I can still forgive him for leaving me.
What I can't forgive is what he did after that.
I begged him again and again to see me but he never responds.
Instead he just sends me a $500,000 check.
It's like... he's telling me how much I'm worth.
Nice work, Jean.
She's amazingly intense just as the script calls for.
To Jean, this is not an act.
This is the real deal.
Golgo must not find out we're doing this to make a movie.
That's why we chose a no-name actress named Jean Barbara.
Which means...
You can't bluff a top level professional.
No matter how good the act is, Golgo will see through it.
Jean Barbara shares a similar history as her character.
She does?
Mm-hmm.
She was betrayed by a guy and actually hired a hit man to rub him out.
A go-between...
...told me that you never take a job for five hundred grand.
But... that's all I have. Moreover...
It would mean a lot to me to hire you and kill him with the same $500,000 he sent me!
Please, Mr. Togo.
Say that you'll accept!
This is where the hit man gives his consent...
Not good.
He'll suspect something if there's too much silence.
Back when he was still an unknown actor
I never stopped devoting my all to him.
Way to go, Jean! Get him with your ad-libbing!
Even when he injured his dominant left hand in an accident, I was there for him!
But once he became a big star, he...
This is bad.
She's not going by the script.
What?
If we don't need them, we'll just cut them out later.
As long she's able to get our main man Golgo to consent...
Please!
End my bitterness!
All right. I accept.
Yes!
Paul should be at the San Diego Golf Course tomorrow. You can get him then.
Sure.
So you'll make him choke on his $500,000 tomorrow, right?
Make him feel my misery?
All right... cut!
It's all on here, Eric!
We got him.
Hook, line and sinker!
So he accepted?
Yeah.
No need to worry.
Once he accepts a job, he lets nothing stand in his way of his completing it.
As long as the client doesn't break his rules.
We've made some prognostications based on past patterns he employs.
That golf course is a perfect place to take a shot without nobody seeing you.
So the target will be on the green at the 15th hole
and he'll be taking his shot from within the woods in the rear.
You can bet the farm that Golgo will be right there tomorrow.
That is where his life as a sniper will come to an end.
The man who screwed over countless people.
Eric, are you sure about filming Paul on his day off?
This is not even in the script. Do you want to miss out on our contract killer?
Thomas's crew is taking care of that.
Don't sweat it.
Well, if you say.
It's almost time for the moment of the century. You'd better capture it!
Understood.
He's there just as anticipated.
Be sure to stay on Paul!
I don't see how this footage will be of much use.
Just stay on him!
The camera doesn't think, so I need you to act like something's about to go down with Paul.
Fine, fine, you got it.
What's the deal, Golgo 13?
Hurry up and shoot him!
Why aren't you shooting him?!
Huh?
What is this?
Why are you...?
Paul must have been born right-handed.
That did not look like he was forced to be right-handed.
Even when he injured his dominant left hand in an accident, I was there for him!
I thought I kept my cool back then, but I guess I still had the jitters.
The man I once had in my real life was left handed.
For me to mix him up with Paul...
The director's bound to give me an earful.
I see.
So you were just an actress?
You're going to tell me everything you know.
W-What?
Don't start throwing out false accusations-!
Talk!
All right, fine!
Besides you're doing this because you're after my body, right?
I'll give it to you, you didn't have to be rough.
She's dead... he killed Jean!
Impossible.
Where the hell did it all go wrong?
This came completely out of nowhere!
This is bad.
If he knows about our movie, then he's...
I'm calling the cops!
Wait!
Start filming.
Preserve the scene in that camera!
You're joking.
Just do it, dammit!
I'll make it my own.
I'll make this movie my own, despite all this!
Let's go!
Hurry!
What are you planning to do, Eric?
All the data we filmed are right here.
As long as I have this... I can make a movie anywhere.
I see. So we failed.
Sorry to say.
If we had spread that movie around the world, he would have become an overnight celebrity.
Then the unrelenting public eye would have put a check to his movements.
That plan, however roundabout it was, would have taken him out in a way that other professionals have failed.
It... It can't be!
Golgo's sniffed out our location?
That man...
So this is the how the movie ends once we cast him?

I won't.
Ben has stolen Golgo 13's name and used it to contract jobs he completes with his knife.
He chases Golgo down to a luxury liner and gets caught up in a show.
Then, Ben has Golgo within his sights...

Don't stand behind him, if you value your life.
