Gunslinger Girl (GUNSLINGER GIRL)

So... Have you picked out your souvenir for Henrietta?

Not yet... I don't know what to get.

She loves anything I give her so that makes it tough...

You've got it easy. All you have to buy are stuffed animals.

You don't get it, pal...

Triela researches her gifts for me.

I can't just pick out whatever I want...

She hates it when I find something off the list.

So, of course, I got her what she wanted again.

A Steiff Bear.

She wanted a German bear from France?

Uh, Pardon me, sirs.

I take it both of you are from Italy.

Yeah... Just a weekend business trip...

The train back home leaves in an hour.

Well, if it's a French souvenir you seek,

I am most certainly your man.

That's great, I could use some help.

I do hope that the gift is for this girl Henrietta...

Because I believe I have just the thing for her.

It has the most wonderful story behind it.

I heard you're going to the Balkans.

Is that true, Jose?

I'll be back before you know it...

It'll only be six months.

But no! They say the radiation is too dangerous...

Don't worry.

Your other brother will be here to keep you company.

Jean never comes to my recitals, but you're always there.

That's right, Jean.

The meeting with the French Minister

of the Interior ended well.

Couldn't have gone better.

We're on the TGV now heading back.

There's going to be a massive demonstration in Rome tomorrow.

I need you two back here in time.

Understood.

Okay! I'll see you later!

Jose, confirm the activists do not appear to be making a move.

No... They're not doing anything, brother.

This is my brother.

That's how I know him,

even though we're not really siblings.

We're always together during our missions,

so we're known as 'fratello.'

It means 'siblings'... "Brother and sister."

We're close, but not close enough to touch.

That's how great the distance is between Jose and me.

I'd like more than anything to be closer to him than this.

Rico--

Stay on the sidewalk.

Henrietta.

Is there something wrong?

No... everything's fine, Jose.

Got it...

Sir, we have a violent clash in progress between the protestors

and the riot squad at the Coliseum.

This is it, people...

They'll use this moment of vulnerability as their chance

to make a strike during the chaos...

Are all of the fratellos on their marks?

Yeah, just about.

The Jean-Rico and Jose-Henrietta teams

are heading north from Circo Massimo Station...

Hilshire-Triela team is on lookout

at the Memorial Observatory.

The other members are on plain-clothes patrol,

looking out for anyone suspicious.

Contact all of the Handlers...

Tell them that finding the F.R.F. terrorists is priority.

Jose...

We're going back to the chief's van for a few minutes...

Stay here and try to keep an eye on the perimeter.

Got it.

So is it them...?

The Five Republics Faction?

No, these are all just ordinary citizens...

Rome's got its pro-indepencence supporters--

Jose, you're not injured are you?

Blood.

It's only a scratch...

Now put your eye back on the perimeter.

Look!

Let's go!

Priscilla!

Jose, I heard the explosion.

Everyone okay? What happened?

Padania terrorists... I need your bike.

It's yours. Take it.

Get on, Henrietta.

Right.

Great.

My poor Vespa... I sure hope I get it back.

I did it... Killed ten of those bastards...

And all thanks to this.

These bombs are incredible.

Now we can get close

without those police dogs sniffing them out...

When we get the chance,

we'll blow two or three more of these suckers.

What in the-- I think we got a tail.

That yellow scooter.

It's been riding our ass for way too long.

Not now... There's way too much traffic here...

We cause a scene and the cops will be on us in no time.

The passenger has a Beretta Submachine gun.

Don't fire yet.

Jose, do you read me?

You're heading into the administrative district.

That's where we'll corner the target once you get there.
