Madlax_-_03_-_Blue_Moon.srt (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always
There's only one wish I remember on rainy days
The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart
Is it still there?
Sleeping inside a closed book
Pandora's jewels called "memories"
In a hesitation hiding a sigh
I was always watching
My eyes cracked and fell to the ground I was always watching
My eyes cracked and fell to the ground
They are quartz fractured into crescents
You're the only one who satisfies my heart
I'll always be waiting
Here in the rain
The past won't come back.
I can't see the future.
I've only got the present, this moment.
I can only see the blue moon.
I can only see the flowing red blood.
How boring the present is.
The kingdom of Gazth-Sonika's Army Commander, Guen McNichol,
said that if the terrorist acts of the Galza armed resistance group
appear likely to continue any longer,
he will be forced to seek military intervention from other nations.
The proclamation is making waves both at home and abroad.
In response to the Commander's proclamation,
UN Secretary-General Garalia expressed his regrets,
Is the news interesting, Miss? And in order to determine the Commander's true intent
and in order to determine the Commander's true intent
it seems he'll go to Gazth-Sonika to talk with the Commander in person.
No, it's boring. It seems he'll go to Gazth-Sonika to talk with the Commander in person.
No, it's boring. At the same time, he will be visiting the surrounding countries...
Blue Moon
Is the villa I prepared for you comfortable?
Of course it's not.
It's got the lack of ambient gunfire going for it, though, doesn't it?
That's true. But the conflict zone is only 120 kilometers away.
I wonder if the people here understand that?
They understand that, in a theoretical sense.
And they also understand the fact that according to the treaty,
there are no flying bullets here.
I understand that, in a theoretical sense.
So, the mission will go as planned?
Yes. At noon tomorrow, there will be a ceremony
commemorating the 70thh anniversary of the inauguration of the Army.
What you're going to do is take the life of the person speaking there.
The Army Commander of this country, Guen McNichol.
Come to think of it, I haven't asked who the client is.
Is it Galza?
Oh, didn't I tell you?
The client is the Army Commander of this country, Guen McNichol himself.
I'm praying for your success.
This country is crazy.
We're scheduled to arrive at your quarters in about twenty minutes.
I see.
The script for the speech you'll be giving at tomorrow's ceremony
is scheduled to arrive tonight.
Who's writing the script?
I don't know, sir.
Who had them write it?
Our great leader, Korslan IV, I assume.
Why doesn't he tell me directly?
He could even tell me on the phone.
I haven't seen him for seven years now, you know.
He's an extremely busy man.
How many years is it now, that I've been having these conversations?
Five years and three months.
It's like a comedy.
Guen McNichol.
Born in the Farna district, and distantly related to this country's supreme leader, Korslan IV.
Graduated from high school in 1967 and went directly into a military academy.
In 1974, he was assigned to the cavalry brigade.
He was active in the civil war that started in 1999,
and a year later in 2000, he led the Third Armored Division...
Don't touch that!
Sheesh.
In 2003 he became the Army Commander and remains so to this day.
That's about the size of Guen's record.
Okay, I understand that he's a big shot.
Well, to put it plainly, he's one of the engineers of the civil war
that started in this country 12 years ago.
He's the vanguard of the hawks.
Does he hate Galza that much?
Apparently, his wife was killed eleven years ago.
At the time the newspaper said it was Galza terrorism,
but who knows whether that was true or not.
I see.
Someone whose family was killed...
What nice breeze. The air is very cool here.
Are you on a trip?
Yes. A long vacation.
A vacation, eh?
We're in the middle of intensified patrols. Let me see your passport.
"Laetitia Lune, citizen of Nafrece."
Nafrece is a nice country.
Is it?
Although I don't think there are too many countries worse than this one.
Why did you come to a country like this?
I heard this was one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
It certainly was beautiful, a long time ago.
The foreign money you spend here will make this country a wealthy one.
Have a good time while you're here.
Thank you. You too.
There are seven possible points to snipe from, including the roof of this building.
Instruct the men to guard the area concentrating on those points.
Yes, ma'am!
Wow, so Korslan's elite guard's got some hot officers for decoration.
Watch your mouth.
Her skill is number-one even among the snipers in the elite guard.
The way the muscles of her right arm are built up...
Her right index finger and the base of her right thumb...
and...
She's a scary person.
You lost, so you steal.
You couldn't protect, so you avenge.
Guen McNichol, someone who will waste his own life.
Tell me. What should people who have nothing do?
What should they do?
What?
Dad, where are you?
Where are you?
It's me, I'm here.
I'm scared, Dad.
I don't like being alone.
I don't like being all alone.
That's what you desire.
Read me the picture book, like you always do.
That's the future.
If I were with Dad, I'd die.
I'd die...
That's...
Why... that...
Here you are.
203...
Oh, you there.
What is it, sir?
Have we met before?
What?
No, I don't think we've met.
I see. It seems I was mistaken.
Oh, that's right. Could you bring some tea to room 301, too?
Yes, sir. I'll make some and bring it right away.
Thank you.
I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, then.
Right, thanks for your work.
Nice to meet you.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to meet you.
And who might you be?
I'm the person who's taken on your assignment and will be sniping you.
A young lady like you, I can hardly believe it.
Or does this mean I'm dreaming?
No, this is all reality.
I see. Reality, huh?
Yes, it is reality.
Would you like a drink too?
No.
But why did you come here?
You're quite ahead of the assignment's schedule, you know.
I wanted to try having a talk with a man who's preparing to kill himself.
You're saying you ran the risk of coming here just for that?
Is that strange?
No.
It's a lot more reasonable than a man who prepares to kill himself.
Do you want to ask me why I took out a contract like that?
No, I just wanted to talk to you.
I see. In that case, ask me anything you like.
Was it fun?
Was it fun?
It was painful.
A life that continues while your own will isn't reflected anywhere in it is nothing but pain.
It wasn't like that at first.
My desire for revenge against Galza, who took my wife from me.
That strong emotion was spurring me on.
But I was being manipulated by some large, unseen force.
Just like a marionette.
Even my wife's death may have been planned.
Who was behind it?
I don't know.
I investigated, but not even a scrap of evidence turned up.
But that doesn't matter.
I don't want to be manipulated anymore.
I at least want to lower the curtain on my life by my own will.
I want to show them my will.
Something I can't see might start happening in some place I don't know.
So in the middle of tomorrow's speech, please...
please shoot me.
I'll cause trouble for you. I'm sorry.
You're quite the romanticist.
It must be...
because the moon is blue.
Let me hear you talk about the soul
Look at me without averting your eyes
You think I'm nowhere to be found
If you're going to run to somewhere you can't see
Yes, ma'am. If you're going to run to somewhere you can't see
If you're going to run to somewhere you can't see
Shake off all your unnecessary adornments
Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy
The dreams that seem like they'll fly away if I blow at them
Are all that's binding the two of us together
Rebelling against the guidance of the stars that show us everything
I'll run straight up to the door in the sky
I'll go as far as it takes
Let me hear you talk about the soul
Look at me without averting your eyes
The yellow loneliness of flower petals
How far are we thinking of going without looking back on that?
Rebelling against the guidance of the stars that show us everything
If you have the courage to search for me
I am everywhere
Guen McNichol...
What happened?! The Commander's been sniped by somebody!
The Commander's been sniped by somebody!
Goodbye.
Dad...
Where was he sniped from?!
The fourth floor of the District Seven building that's in mid-construction.
Roger. We'll hurry there!
The sniper will get away.
Sniping from that far away?
Who is this person?
You're still there.
That's...
The scary person.
That girl...
that girl was the sniper?!
I never even imagined that he was prepared to do something like that.
Yes, it's all right; there are any number of people to take his place.
More importantly, gunfire in the demilitarized zone is bad for us.
Please take measures in response.
Yes. Goodbye.
Really, you're making me cause unnecessary trouble.
But this country has a madness in it.
Ma'am, this is bad!
What's the matter?
We just received information
saying that Gazth-Sonika's Army Commander has been assassinated.
What did you say?
Gazth-Sonika's going to be thrown into turmoil again, isn't it.
Yes, it will.
Is twelve whole years of civil war still not enough for that country?
She got you, huh Limelda.
I apologize, sir. I let this happen on my watch.
You just cooperated with the security squad.
If the elite guard is in charge, situations like this don't happen.
Yes, sir.
But for someone to have achieved the sniping from such a distance...
I saw the criminal through my scope.
It was a young girl with blond hair.
I see.
Aren't you surprised?
This is just a rumor,
but I heard that among the agents operating in this country in secret,
there's a young girl of unique ability.
And her name?
Madlax.
Madlax...
Guen McNichol...
yesterday was a lot of fun.
But today...
I can't see the moon.
And now, a follow-up on yesterday's assassination of Guen McNichol,
Army Commander of the kingdom of Gazth-Sonika.
Through Army public relations officer Gueg Marvel,
supreme leader Korslan IV expresses his mourning for the death of his friend.
He announced that he would continue pursuing his friend's ideals
by putting all his energies into the eradication of the Galza armed resistance group.
Is the news interesting, Miss? Also, in regards to the criminal, the government has concluded that

and is now preparing for a large-scale military campaign against...
That's surely an old song someone was playing on a water-colored lute
Deep inside your heart, inside your pain
Drifting in daybreak's sleepiness on the streetcorners Deep inside your heart, inside your pain
Drifting in daybreak's sleepiness on the streetcorners
When you were called by that singing voice
You were still in the middle of your journey
Following the tracks that loneliness left behind
I wonder if you can go it all alone
And get to the other hill on the other side
Watching the retreating back of a goodbye And get to the other hill on the other side
Watching the retreating back of a goodbye
The story told so that you can meet yourself
Now quietly begins
