Gunslinger Girl (GUNSLINGER GIRL)

She's my sister.

We're always together,

so we're known on the inside as 'fratello'.

Fratello... It means siblings... brother and sister.

Some people crack jokes about it, but what are you gonna do?

It's as close to the truth as you can get.

Chief, we strongly believe he has knowledge of the

Republican Faction's weapons smuggling... I suggest, for

safety, we might want to take down all of their safehouses.

Fine... I want the Hilshire-Triela fratello

to cover the southern safehouse.

Sir, consider it taken care of.

But the Jean-Rico team...

They're going to need at least some kind of support,

don't you think?

I'll take some Section 2 members and we can cover

the building's perimeter... But I'd want at least two more

fratello to help us secure the location.

Jean, this is Hilshire.

Look... We've got the southern safehouse locked down,

but there's an issue...

Our target isn't anywhere that we can find...

It is possible that he's already moved down to your end.

Double-check that.

Roger. I'll work over those that are still breathing.

I'll notify you the second I figure anything out.

What's going on over there? Somebody answer me!

Can Jose... handle this?

Uh, Chief... In my opinion, they're not ready

for group operations.

Jean, let it go.

Well I think they are. I'm adding Jose and Henrietta

to the Jean-Rico team... You got that... Jean?

Sir.

We got a message from the Hilshire-Triela team.

Looks like we are the ones favored to win today.

Just get a positive ID on the target first.

And listen, if he's not with them,

I want you to let them go.

Don't do anything. Got it?

Let's go.

Ferro, is the entrance clear?

Alfonso and I have covered the front.

Amadeo and Giorgio have the back. The only other way for

this mark to get out is through the window you're staring at.

Wait for my orders.

Affirmative.

Rico, focus on any shadows you see

behind the blinds.

Yes sir.

The southern hideout's been attacked.

What?!

It would seem that someone

has coming looking for him, gentlemen.

Then that means... that they might...

They might end up here.

If I understand it correctly...

they were attacked by a young girl.

A girl?

Yeah.

I know...

it sounds crazy, but, recently I've been hearing rumors of

a secret agency that's been training

little girls as assasins.

Who is it, Louie?

You won't believe this, but it's a guy in a suit and a...

A what?

Uh... A little girl.

Don't open it.

I'll get them outta your hair.

Louie! I said don't!

Good morning, sir.

I apologize for intruding like this. Do you have a minute?

No. What do you want?

Just a few moments of your time.

I am a reporter from Libero Italia.

What is it you're reporting?

I heard that Mr. Scallo of the Costelo Company was here...

...and I would love to get an exclusive.

Yeah well, there ain't nobody here by that name,

so good luck finding your interview.

Wait, I'm... positive that he's in this building.

Yeah? And I just told you that you got the wrong room, chief.

You hard of hearing?

No...

Then maybe it's a learning disorder. Your guy ain't here!

Sorry, I...

Now, get lost before I pop your eyes out

and make your sister watch!

Louie, what's going on--

Brother...

You planning on visiting every hospital in Italy?

No, uh... I'm not.

I've already made my decision.

Why does it have to be children?

These kids have been through enough already.

It's the agency's call.

The physical alterations, the brainwashing...

All the conditioning seems to take much better,

the younger the subject.

This is the work of the Social Welfare Agency, isn't it?

Yes.

Our government's created quite an impressive

organization. To see it actively aiding the seriously

injured, I mean, I never thought they'd follow through.

Dr. Masi, we came because...

We have heard that your facility is housing

a very seriously injured girl.

Yes.

It was tragic... She's in desperate need of your help.

Last week, her family was massacred.

But the monsters kept her alive.

Throughout the night,

the poor girl was brutally assaulted.
