Episode 9

It looks like another scorcher today.
Hey, it's summer, yet you're all bundled up.
Aren't you hot? What's that? That paper's three days old.
They say this time a middle-aged couple in Verden was killed.
I hear the killer is a doctor Oh, yeah You said you're going to Verden, didn't you? You know someone there? Yeah I don't know if I can meet up with him or not, but I have to go there The Girl and the Seasoned Soldier Giessen Police Station (Germany) You got your start in the French Foreign Legion.
After going off on your own, you joined the fighting in Nicaragua in 1979.
From 1981 to 1984 you aided the Afghan rebel guerillas In 1987, you played a central role in the Mossad's secret operation to assassinate Islamic extremists.
What a brilliant fighting record, Hugo Bernhardt Since a mercenary such as you is sponsoring this seminar, I'm sure you must have some outstanding students graduating It might be a good idea to send our young ones to attend your lectures and have you whip them into shape.
Yes, well Incidentally Was this man outstanding? I believe he showed up at your training grounds about five months ago.
He is brilliant with a scalpel but did he show an aptitude with a pistol? I have no wish to speak about my students I see.
Five Months Ago Have you ever learned to shoot a gun? No So you're self-taught No I've never shot a gun before Not once? No I know I'm asking for the impossible, but I have no choice but to ask you for help.
Anyway, anyone who comes here is asked to forget all he's learned about guns.
But I've never had anyone who'd never shot a gun before.
Jump rope Regardless of your experience, this is where everyone starts.
Just like that child Don't just stand there! Get busy! Y-Yes, sir! Faster.
Faster! Watch your balance! Your balance! Faster! Faster! I just can't do it as well as you do Do you always keep an eye on the trainees for the trainer? Okay, okay, you needn't glare at me that way.
I'll do it.
I must do it.
Oh, a brambling I wonder if it's looking for food for its chicks.
Are you so exhausted that you've lost your appetite? Huh? Yes Eating is part of your training.
Yes, sir Is she your child or, your grandchild? No That child's mother was shot and killed by me.
Right before her eyes in Myanmar When I ran into a hut in the jungles for shelter, they were there.
The mother was holding a gun If I'd been a fraction of a second slower, I'd have been shot dead.
And that's why I brought that child here.
Since she began living with me, that child has never smiled.
She'll probably die hating me When you have a gun, that sort of thing happens.
If you don't like it, you're better off never picking up a gun.
What's that? Something smells nice It smells like daphne blossoms Thanks That's enough.
Huh? Then? It's time for some running.
Oh, I see When you're done running, come to the low ground in the back.
Huh? Low ground? The firing range.
Firing range Remember, twice Whenever you shoot your gun, pull the trigger twice.
By pulling the trigger twice, you raise the probability that you'll get your target.
If you can't do that, consider yourself dead.
What is this? You're always preparing meals for me, so today I decided to make you some Japanese food.
This is called nikujaga.
I hope you'll like it.
Those are chopsticks.
They're carved out of wood.
I thought they would enhance the Japanese feel of the dish.
You're good You use those chopsticks well.
Once more! Aim! Do it again! Aim! What's wrong? Oh, it's a brambling chick.
I guess it fell out of its nest.
Oh no, no! You have to return it to its nest! That chick is going to die! It's very difficult to raise it away from its nest.
It's rare that you can do it successfully.
Let's return it to its nest to its mother.
Three seconds! Everything is determined in three seconds! If there's even an instant of hesitation, the one killed will be you.
So How was his performance record when he finished the course? Technically, he had a perfect score, and his physical condition also improved.
His concentration was phenomenal.
However However? Being able to shoot a person is another issue altogether.
Oh? Whether he's able to shoot his first person will determine whether he will or won't be able to use his gun.
I see I wonder which way he'll go Well, never mind about that.
Do you have any idea where he went? I'd like you to tell me if you do know Thank you for everything, these five months Enclosed is the rest of my tuition.
And please help yourself to the nikujaga.
You have my sincere thanks.
Jeez Damn She laughed How about it? You do know where he went, don't you? I can't tell you that.
That's fine You may leave.
This way.
