Gunslinger Girl (GUNSLINGER GIRL)

She's my sister...

As we're always together, we're known as "fratello".

Fratello.

Brother and sister.

People joke about it, but what are you going to do?

It's pretty much the truth.

"Brother and Sister"

So we're capturing the man who witnessed

the R.F.'s weapon smuggling...

I take it we'll need to storm their hideouts?

Yes.

The Hirscher-Triela fratello has the southern hideout.

Yes. Leave it to us.

The Jean-Rico team will require support, though.

I'll cover the building's perimeter with members of Section 2.

However, we'll need one more fratello to take them on.

Jean-san. This is Hirscher.

Yes.

We now have control of the R.F.'s hideout,

but the key witness is nowhere to be seen.

He may have been moved to your end already.

Make certain of it.

--Right. I'll try asking some of- --What's going on?

-- those still alive. --Can you hear me?! Hey!

Can Giuse pull this off?

Sir. Are you sure they're ready for group operations?

It's all right, Jean.

I'm adding Giuse and Henrietta to the Jean-Rico team.

--Got that, Jean? --Yes.

Message from the Triela-Hirscher team.

Looks like we're the favorite to win.

Make sure the key witness is with them.

Listen. If you can't locate him, then let them go.

Don't do anything.

Let's go.

Ferro. Is the entrance clear?

Alfonso and I have the front.

Amadeo and Giorgio have the back.

If he does get away, it'll be through that window.

--Wait for my orders. --Understood.

Rico, focus on the shadows behind the blinds.

Yes, sir.

The southern hideout has been attacked.

What?!

It would seem someone's looking for him.

Then that means...

...they may come here, too.

Apparently, it was a young girl that showed up there.

A girl...?

Yes...

Come to think of it, there have been rumors recently

about an organization that uses girls as assassins...

Louie. Who is it?

A man in a suit, and...

And?

And... a girl.

Don't open it.

I'll send them away for ya.

Louie! Stop!

Hello. I'm sorry to disturb you like this.

Whadya want?

I'm a reporter for Libero Italia.

What's a reporter want here?

I heard Mr. Scallo of Costelo Company was here.

I was hoping to get an interview with him...

He's not here. You got the wrong address.

I'm certain that this was the building...

I'm telling you, he ain't here!

You deaf or somethin'?!

Your guy ain't here!

But...

Get lost before I start getting violent...!

What's going on?! Louie!

Giuse...

Are you planning to visit every hospital in Italy?

Not really...

I've already decided.

Does it really have to be children?

That's what the agency says.

The physical modification and brainwashing procedures

apparently work better the younger they are.

The Social Welfare Agency, was it?

Yes.

The government's created quite the organization.

To think it would actively aid seriously injured people...

Dr. Masi. We came because we heard

you have a badly injured girl here.

Yes, we do. She desperately needs your help.

She survived that family massacre last week.

She was assaulted for an entire night

with the bodies of her family lying beside her.

She wants to take her own life.
