Sorry, man.
I want to let you rest, but I don't think we can.
The squad has encountered the targets.
That's right.
Rude and the rest, go there right away.
The others will return to base.
The targets' current location is...
Such an average squad can't defeat me.
Right?
Found them! This way!
Bunch of persistent bastards.
You won't hit me.
Seventy-two hours ago, we, the General Affairs department, also known as the Turks,
were given a mission to capture specimens that escaped from a Shinra facility.
The specimens that escaped were two adult males.
One of them was formerly part of SOLDIER, First Class, an elite task force.
During an incident five years ago,
I was involved in the pursuit of the same two men.
If that incident hadn't occurred, their fate wouldn't be this messed up.
If only that man hadn't been there...
He was once known as a hero and was the ultimate SOLDIER.
Sephiroth.
Why are you doing this?
I'm coming to pick you up now.
Dad! Where are you?!
If you're around, answer me!
Dad!
Elder.
Elder!
Tifa! What are you doing?! Get out of here quickly!
What in the world is going on?
Why is this happening?
Looks like it's Sephiroth's doing.
What? Sephiroth?
No way. Sephiroth? Why would he?
Elder, have you seen my father?
I can't find him anywhere.
Your father is at the Mako Reactor on top of the mountain.
Y-You can't!
Sephiroth is up there!
Are you all right?
Hey! Get a grip!
Wait, Tifa!
There's nothing you can do!
Tifa!
Targets found. Targets found.
They are currently at point 137.
I repeat.
They are currently at point 137.
Sheesh.
They're making such a big deal out of just two guys.
Let's see...
How should we do this?
We're killing each other! Cease fire!
Capture him!
He's strong.
This is the skill of a SOLDIER.
A-After him!
He abandoned his friend?
SOLDIER, First Class...
Zack.
Mister!
Oh, it's you.
You are sane, right?
How can I be in such a situation?
Sephiroth did this?
I read that he's a hero,
but he's just a murderer.
This is terrible.
What happened to Sephiroth?
Oh yeah, will you help Tifa?
Did something happen to Tifa?
She went to the Mako Reactor on the mountain to look for her father.
Sephiroth is over there too.
What?!
That girl is no match for him.
His opponent must be someone like you, a SOLDIER.
I'm no ordinary SOLDIER.
I'm a SOLDIER, First Class.
You help the elder.
I'll follow you up there soon.
I leave Tifa to you.
Leave it to me.
The Turks?
The target is in sight.
Our order is to either capture the target or obliterate him.
If possible, capture him alive.
Roger.
Surrender quietly!
If you do so, your life will be guaranteed.
Those Turks act all sophisticated and say whatever the hell they want.
We will capture the sample.
These guys are all just a bunch of punks.
I don't need any guarantee of my life.
What I want is...
freedom!
What is it?
Dad!
Where are you, Dad?
Dad!
Get ahold of yourself, Dad.
Tifa...
Dad!
Tifa...
Run...
Hurry...
Hey! Hold yourself together! Dad!
Damn that Sephiroth...
Sephiroth did this to you, right?
Sephiroth...
SOLDIER...
Shinra...
Mako Reactor...
I hate...
I hate all of them!
Mother...
I've come to see you.
Sephiroth!
How dare you kill my dad?!
How dare you kill the people in the village?!
You promised you would come save me whenever I was in trouble...
Cloud...
Hurry up! Not ready yet?
What is it?
The targets have obtained a bike.
We are expecting the area of pursuit to widen from here on.
Y-You're Zack.
Sorry for the wait, Cloud.
Hey, don't be mad.
No way I'd leave a friend behind.
The army has given our targets an unnecessary gift.
Adios!
We lost the targets.
Looks like they've entered the undergorund tunnel.
They're inside Midgar.
Understood.
Station guards around Midgar's perimeter.
Yes, sir.
Tifa.
Tifa!
Zack.
Sephiroth did this, right?
Tifa.
You guys came to this village just to investigate, right?
That's why I was your guide.
That's all you guys came here for...
But why... this?
Tifa.
I hate them. Shinra and SOLDIER... and you too.
I hate you all!
I'm sorry.
I won't ask you for forgiveness.
But...
Let me make things right.
Mother.
Let's take this Planet back together.
I've thought of something good.
Let's go to the Promised Land.
Mother.
Sephiroth!
Why did you kill the villagers?
Why did you hurt Tifa?!
Answer me, Sephiroth!
Mother. They came again.
Mother was supposed to become the ruler of this Planet with her incredible knowledge and power.
But they...
Those worthless people...
They took you away from this Planet, didn't they?
But don't be sad anymore.
Come with me.
We finally meet.
Mother.
Sephiroth.
What happened to you?
You traitor.
I trusted you, Sephiroth!
No... You're not the Sephiroth I know!
I am the chosen one.
I am the being chosen to rule this Planet!
In order to return this Planet to the Cetra from you fools,
I received a blessing...
For Mother's sake.
Everything is fine now...
Mother.
Who are you?
Give my mother, Tifa, and the village back!
I looked up to you.
I idolized you!
You bastard.
Tifa!
Cloud.
You came.
Yeah.
You kept your promise.
You came when I was in danger.
I'm sorry.
I came a bit late.
It's okay, Cloud.
Mother.
Someone like you...
Cloud...
Finish him.
Someone like you...
Sephiroth!
Repent!
A mere human...
thinks he can defeat me?!
You should realize this.
My family...
My home village...
How dare you destroy them all?!
I won't forgive you!
No way.
Impossible.
What are you?
Mother.
Let's go to the Promised Land together.
Sephiroth...
I hope they survive.
Carry him to Shinra's underground facility.
Yes, sir.
Sephiroth really went overboard.
You, huh?
Is Chief Belzo doing okay?
Yes.
Is that so?
How are you dealing with the village?
I've already begun working on it.
But is this necessary?
You're still young.
Your opinions mean nothing.
Hurry up with the disposal.
Wait a second.
This man...
Interesting. Very interesting.
I can use him as a new specimen.
Chief.
I have just been informed that the targets have been spotted by the perimeter guards.
Understood. I'll come right away.
We are going to take their freedom away once again.
The targets have passed point 48.
The bike they escaped on ran out of gas and was abandoned.
Looks like they hitchhiked on a truck.
The chief has that serious face again, dude.
We saved them five years ago and now we have to capture them?
Such is fate.
If you think about it, they're helpless.
I sympathize with them.
Oh my. Everyone is so kind.
We'll complete any mission. That's our job, dude.
Let's go.
Yes, sir!
Time to sortie, dude.
Hurry up, rookie.
I'm coming.
Hey.
What will you do when you get to Midgar?
Well, I guess we need money first.
Hey, mister. Can you think of any jobs I can do?
What are you talking about? Young'uns should just try anything.
Go through a lot of hardships while you're young,
then find your way from there.
Anything he says.
Even if he says so...
I see. That's right!
I have a lot of knowledge and technical skills that most people lack.
Okay, I've decided.
I'll work as a jack-of-all-trades!
Were you really listening to what I said?
Troublesome things... Dangerous things... I'll do anything depending on the pay.
It'll be profitable.
Hey, Cloud.
What will you do?
I'm just kidding. I wouldn't abandon you.
We're friends, right?
We'll start an odd-job business together.
Got it, Cloud?
Target has passed point 12.
He will enter rifle range soon.
Okay, let's do this.
But the Turks said to wait for their arrival.
No need to let them get all the glory.
Just shoot.
Hey, mister. Are we not there yet? This truck...
Get down!
Cloud! Run!
