Who the hell are you guys?

Mr. Zenigata. You're under arrest.

U-Under arrest?!

You guys were cops?

What kind of cop would charge at me, guns blazing?

You are suspected of colluding with Lupin

and being an accomplice to Lupin's theft.

That's ridiculous!

I've dedicated my whole life to arresting Lupin!

A lie you've been telling the whole world, isn't it?

Fujiko Mine! You...!

Alright.

Mr. Zenigata.

Shall we arrest you without incident,

or shoot you to death where you stand?

Goodbye

Partner

19th century - Paris, France

You look well today, Chopin.

Camille.

Yes.

When I am not in the mood, I play on the Erard piano.

Since I am well today, I chose to play on the Pleyel piano.

Chopin, you always seem to play with the second soundboard down.

Yes. I like the soft sounds it makes when it is lowered.

Sound travels around the strings.

There, the sound produces a vortex

giving it a unique quality.

You really are something.

This Pleyel piano really is quite wonderful.

A wonderful - and curious - piano.

Present day - London, England

Who are you people?!

La Digue Island, Seychelles

I got it!

That's not fair! I said wait up!

And I said no way!

Oof!

Yeesh. I need a time-out.

What? You're done already, sweetie?

Sorry, sorry!

Aww...

Just a short break, 'kay?

Hmm?

It's been a while.

Jigen.

Tch. You knew I was here?

Yep.

I can tell who's coming by their footsteps.

But y'know, I'm surprised by that new gun.

What happened to your prized magnum?

It's out for maintenance.

Hm?

Anyways, here's a gift.

Aah, well, well!

This is also a gift.

Thank you.

Hey, you brought me something nice.

I'll put it here.

Hey Lupin, how 'bout we start our next job?

Yeah, about that...

You know that mystery clock from Singapore?

It all went too smoothly. There was no thrill to it.

I was expecting a fake or something.

You'll change your mind when you read this.

Hm?

What's this?

A young girl - and finalist in the Chopin Competition - has been missing for a week.

No, above that.

Wha-What the hell!

Pops got arrested?!

And what's this crap about him being my co-conspirator?!

They say that up to now,

he colluded with Lupin the Third in all his heists.

What a load of crap!

Even a nice guy like me

gets ticked off by fake news like this! Aaaargh!

Sorry, hon!

Commercial ends in 3, 2...

Now, we look back on the mastermind behind Lupin the Third's heists,

who turned out to be an active officer of Interpol.

I honestly can't hide my surprise.

A gentleman phantom thief... How ridiculous.

Lupin the Third is just another crook, nothing more.

This is breaking news.

Lupin the Third himself has just contacted us.

Hello!

I've been watching your news report.

Somewhere on the Indian Ocean

You've been saying nasty things

like how I can't do anything without old man Zenigata, hm?

So, are you saying you can perform heists flawlessly

without Zenigata's cooperation?

Ooh, that's right!

It's a cinch to get any treasure I want!

Area 61, Colorado, USA

Well, that's interesting.

I have a proposal for you, then.

Hm? A proposal?

If you can steal this one particular object without Inspector Zenigata,

I will acknowledge that you are indeed a gentleman thief.

Aww, easy, easy!

Gimme a week and I'll steal anything you say.

Well then, a diamond was smuggled out of America recently,

its current whereabouts unknown.

It's called a time crystal.

I'll have you steal that.

According to one theory,

it's in a military base off the shore of Shanghai.

The Chinese navy has reportedly placed strict security measures there.

And with that, Lupin's now your puppet.

Amazing, Roy.

It's nothing, Fujiko Mine.

But you couldn't have pulled this off

if you weren't a politician, an owner of a TV network, and filthy rich.

Someone's trying to pull a fast one on me

with this whole time crystal thing.

You said it was a cinch.

Nah, it's not so simple.

I think our target is something the whole world is desperately trying to get,

since it's a special diamond.

What do you mean?

Several months ago, some guy disclosed something incredible.

That man is Edward Znowden.

US Backdoor in Japan's Infrastructure?

At some point, he worked for the CIA and NSA.

US Intelligence Agency Collaborates on China's Internet

Several years ago, he revealed the existence of their surveillance programs.

After that, Znowden came under the protection of Russia

A safehouse in Russia

but he ended up being a political tool.

In the end, he was extradited back to America.

Fearing that he was in danger,

Znowden revealed one more big secret.

Continuing Japan's research on time crystals

and blowing a huge budget,

the Americans completed a quantum supercomputer.

With it, they've basically conquered the world.

Conquered the world?

Sounds pretty absurd to me.

No, it's not.

This quantum supercomputer that America created

is far faster and more advanced than anything we can imagine.

Faster and more advanced?

Yeah! With it, you can instantly cancel any bank account in the world

or steal anyone's personal information as you please.

Now you see why the whole world's desperate to get this time crystal?

Take a look.

This used to be a secret test site,

which I purchased and remodeled.

Along with solar and hydroelectric power stations,

we also get solar power transmitted via microwaves.

In the base, our factories have large-scale 3D printers

which we can use to make anything we need.

It's a completely self-sustaining fort.

All of it is under the control of our latest AI, Emilka.

In order to reach her full potential,

we need to complete a quantum computer.

Lupin will get that last piece.

Welcome back from a long trip.

Your meal is ready.

No time.

In ten minutes, I'm going back to Washington.

The president is always bothering me about some meeting or other.

Why don't you just ignore that old hag for once?

What's the situation?

Sir! Subject is confined and under guard.

Let me see her.

Yes sir!

Let me out! I said let me out!

Where is this place?

Ow! Stop it! Let me go!

Hey! I told you not to be so rough.

Sir! My deepest apologies.

I'm sorry about that. Are you hurt?

Where is this place?

Who are you people?

What do you intend to do after kidnapping me?

You're a lively young lady.

I'll show you what I have in store.

What do you think?

This is...

Pleyel?

And is that Erard?

That person... That's George Sand!

This room...!

Yes. We call this Chopin's Room.

The pianos, chairs, desks...

They were all used by Chopin.

What? You're lying!

This room was used by a scientist named Abelson to do research.

He had a deep respect for Chopin.

He felt he could concentrate more by surrounding himself with Chopin's belongings.

I spent a fortune collecting these things from all over the world.

And this is Chopin's handwritten sheet music.

This kind of treasure brings a tear to your eye, no?

Did you kidnap me because I'm a finalist in the Chopin Competition?

No.

That's incorrect.

Then...

Hey now, if you try to take it off, it'll explode.

It's paired with my watch.

I can detonate the microbomb in that choker

wherever and whenever I want.

Wh-Why did you...?!

I'm contending with some troublemakers.

This is a precaution.

Well, have a nice day, young lady.

Why? Why was I...?

Such a pity.

Stop taking this so lightly!

The Chopin Competition was a dream come true for me and mom!

Now I'm caught up in something I know nothing about

and I'm trapped here!

Hey now, crying about this situation won't solve anything.

If you have time to mope, there's a piano right there.

Why don't you practice for the competition?

You get to practice on Chopin's piano.

You should count your blessings.

Well, see you later.

Hey, wait!

What kind of villain talks like that?!

My, you do have spirit!

Adieu.

Hey, Roy!

Did you lie to me?

Is something bothering you?

Didn't you promise to give me that watch once this was all over?

And now you've attached that awful thing to it.

Aah.

I did say I'll give it to you as a present.

But it's still mine.

What I do with it is my business.

But that mystery watch is the finest masterpiece in fashion history.

Now it's being used as a bomb detonator.

I feel sorry for that watch.

You feel sorry?

You really love this watch.

But a rare mystery clock that was made into a watch...

I've never seen anything like it.

I'll give you this watch soon

once everything is mine.

Well, time to go.

That's why I hate men with no sense.

Now, where could Lupin be now?

Shanghai, China

Purpose of entry?

My eyesight's bad and my lower back aches. I need some herbal medicine.

Aaah, I feel lightheaded again...

Yes, yes, thank you.

Everything's good here. Now it's up to Jigen.

W-Who're you?! Eep!

I've got a lot of stuff going on.

I'm gonna need to interrogate you.

I-Interrogate?

About an inspector named Zenigata you snared in this hotel.

Wanna die?

Goemon. Glad you came.

I had little choice after reading this.

Dear Goemon, I hear there's a diamond that nobody can cut. Are you interested?

It seems Jigen is not here.

No, no, we're going underwater.

It'll be easy for us two,

so I had Jigen go on a slightly different mission.

Easy? Did you not say the treasure is underwater?

Since it's underwater, I have a little trick up my sleeve.

I'll tell you my plan.

Now, shall we begin?

Good work.

Please enter the password.

Hm? Password?

I didn't hear about this...

What is it? Is something wrong?

N-No, no, nothing's wrong.

Please enter today's password.

Uh, the password...

Today's must be...

Zantetsuken.

Huh?

Now be nice and quiet.

Alright, let's go meet our little treasure.

(First Warehouse)

Bring the 1 to the 5 and 7...

Open sesame!

Oh, my, my, my.

This is some serious security.

The merest touch

and we shall soon be encompassed by guards.

No way.

Not with a trap like this.

Be on your guard, Lupin.

Watch this!

See?

Easy as pie.

Huh? I didn't hear about a pressure sensor!

As usual, you fail the last step.

No way.

It doesn't matter this time.

Make haste, Lupin!

Yes, yes. Hm, maybe this one?

Whoa-ha!

Just as shiny as I imagined.

Will you not hasten?

Yes, yes.

Let's skedaddle, Goemon.

Freeze!

Oh, my!

They're already here?

Security's as tight as the rumors say.

Drop the case, hands up, on your knees!

You guys, aren't you worried about how calm I am?

What?

You guys had better drop your guns and grab an oxygen tank.

Huh?

Goemon.

Hm!

Bubble pop!

Classified material has been taken from the underwater base.

Begin the attack now!

I cannot detect the target through the bubbles.

Doesn't matter. Kill them with a saturation attack.

Yikes!

Steer! Steer hard!

Fireworks!

Tamaya: A traditional chant during a fireworks show

Somewhere in Arizona, USA

Thanks for waiting.

Everything went well?

Of course.

The best guards in the world - or the universe - are a piece of cake to me.

Lupin, you have given a promise. Allow me to cut it.

Hey, settle down.

Did you get anything?

I've been snooping around.

And?

So who was the mastermind

that captured old man Zenigata and got me to steal this?

Honestly...

That was me.

What?

Defeated...

Goemon!

What's going on, Jigen?

I'm not gonna explain anything.

Drop that and get outta here.

No way.

I'm not the kind of guy who steals treasure and then says, "Here you go", after all that work.

Is that so?

You made up your mind when you changed guns, didn't you, Jigen?

Good guess.

Hey, hey, I've been thinking about how many years we've been partners.

Then you know perfectly well

that you're no match for me in a gunfight.

I really don't know.

What's going on, Jigen?

You're not the type to betray your buddies for money.

You misjudged me.

Once in a while, I gotta have it all to myself.

LVMPD. What's your emergency?

I found a dead body. Come quickly.

Where are you?

You got what we need?

Yeah, hurry up and contact him.

It's me.

Boss. Daisuke Jigen's back.

And the time crystal?

It's safely returned.

What about Lupin?

Looks like he was dealt with.

Hmph. Is that so?

Good job.

As I expected from Lupin's longtime partner.

How did you take care of Lupin the Third?

I only know how to handle guns.

Nobody's a faster gun than I am.

I see.

Jigen, once I return,

shall we talk about your future?

Huh?

That poor girl.

Losing both parents at once...

What will she do now?

Say your final farewell now.

Wonderful! You really are a finalist.

Huh?

This is the quantum computer's system unit.

Hey, Kato!

Mr. Norman!

Did you get the time crystal?

Yeah.

Jigen.

This is...

With this, I can complete Dr. Abelson's quantum computer.

Emilka.

Yes, Master Kato.

I've set the time crystal.

Start up the quantum computer.

As you wish.

Please transmit the startup pulse.

Move aside!

Eh?

Defeated...

Lupin!

Ho! Are you injured?

Lupin!

Tch! I shall aid you myself. Remain here.

What's wrong? Nothing's happening!

What? But...

This can't be...

Emilka. What's going on?

Unable to recognize time crystal.

Please reinstall.

Reinstall?

Hey! What's going on?

Looks like Lupin outsmarted us.

It's me.

The time crystal's a fake.

Here, explain the situation.

Without me knowing, Lupin was always cautious around me.

You mean Lupin always switched out the real thing.

Do I kill them?

Wait.

Is that a good idea, Roy?

If you kill them now, you'll never get the real time crystal.

Hm.

Jigen knows all the locations of Lupin's secret hideouts.

I think it's a waste not to use him.

Very well.

Jigen. Just one more chance.

The next time you fail,

you and the hostage... Do you understand?

Close call there.

Better do you best, Jigen.

I'm sorry.

This is my fault.

Hang in there just a little more, okay?

A while back, my partner taught me this trick.

Oops.

Ah!

Wait!

I guess I need more practice.

C'mon, no more tears.

But...

I'm happy for you.

That's a nice ring.

Let me see you put it on.

You said it was like a dream.

Giving birth to a cute baby, teaching her piano...

I just can't do what you want.

Coward!

It'll be fine.

I know you'll do well.

If you're ever in trouble, I'll come running.

Really?

Yeah.

That being said, all I can do is shoot a gun.

Lupin's a tricky one. I gotta get serious.

Ah! Owww!

Finally awake?

Look on the bright side.

You're lucky to be alive.

What's going on?

Here.

This...

That stopped the bullet.

Be thankful for that miracle

and live life looking ahead-

What are you trying to say?

Goemon.

How did you...

You dope! You thought I couldn't see through

that terrible disguise?

Hmph.

Move aside, Lupin.

Thank you!

Hmmm, a bit stuffy, don't you think?

Do not complain. Come.

To where?

To Jigen, as a matter of course.

I shall not rest until I cut down that traitor.

Traitor, huh?

To think my right-hand man would be a traitor...

As I have said earlier,

always look ahead.

Hey! What're you doing?! That's dangerous!

What...?

The lighter's lined with carbon fiber.

But why?

Hm?

Ah-ha, of course.

What is it, Lupin?

I just realized something.

Old man Zenigata's arrest, our failure, Jigen's betrayal...

They're all connected.

Lemme out!

I said lemme out!

Me colluding with Lupin is impossible!

I'm telling you, I've been framed!

This is a false arrest!

You're full of spirit, pops.

L-Lupin?!

You son of a...!

You did this to me!

Hey, hey.

Hold on a sec. You got the wrong idea.

Wrong idea about what?!

You're not gonna sweet-talk yourself outta this one!

Alright, alright.

Just hear me out, would ya?

We were both set up by one guy.

What was that?

Hey, is that really true?

Well, that's my gut feeling.

Pretty sure I'm right.

Here's my evidence. Take a look.

Hm? This is...

You've probably seen that before

but we certainly haven't.

You know what this means, don't you, pops?

Hm.

Anyways, why don't you come with us?

I need your help on this.

I can't help the likes of you. I'm an inspector.

Come on now.

But I have no qualms

using you to catch another criminal.

After that, Lupin,

I'll arrest you, too.

Piece of cake.

Ow!

Oh. Sorry.

That's the spirit.

Before that, I have a secret hideout to set up.

Secret hideout?

Goemon, you and pops go ahead without me.

I'll catch up to you soon.

Understood.

There you are, Jigen.

Huh?

To think I'd ever fight against you...

Though I've fought against a lot of other people.

If you really think about it,

you'd be my ultimate nemesis.

Ooh, scary, Jigen.

You want to kill me at all costs, huh?

Hm?

Too bad.

I'm not here now.

Let me just say, the price of betrayal is high.

Now wait there and take a smoke break.

Smoke?

Alright, pops, Goemon...

Follow my plan.

Zenigata here! I'm back!

Z-Zenigata!

Weren't you arrested?

Explain this.

Well, Bureau Director,

I arrested Lupin the Third like this,

and proved my innocence to the public.

Watch out!

Stop struggling, Lupin!

I shall now take Lupin away for questioning.

V-Very well.

Take him to the interview room.

Yes sir!

Siddown!

You're not escaping this time!

You're gonna give up and tell me everything, Lupin!

Now, while I put on an act,

go check the database.

Look for any documents on the development of the quantum computer.

Roger that.

By the way,

you'll need authorization to enter the room, so...

Way ahead of you.

You! Get some drinks!

Yes sir!

Let's see... Drinks... Drinks...

Alright, Lupin! Now that you're arrested,

we're going to have a nice, long chat!

Hey, meal time.

You asleep, Lup- Wha?

W-What's this?!

Aaah!

L-Lupin the Third escaped!

This is an emergency!

Emergency, emergency.

Lupin the Third has escaped from the detention center.

All units, prepare to...

What the hell?

Then... You! Come with me!

Yes sir!

Inspector Zenigata! Open the door!

We know you're lying!

Hey! Open the door!

Caught already...

Inspector Zenigata!

No choice. Let's go.

It seems I must once again cut something worthless.

Alrighty.

First of all, let's access the CIA network using the bureau's authorization.

Oops, the password...

I'll just active the backdoor I installed...

Good, I'm in.

Huh?

Roy Forest?

I recognize that name from somewhere...

Oh?

I definitely saw this guy before.

I see. So that's how it is.

If this guy completed the quantum computer, he'll no doubt become the next president.

With it, he could even take over the world.

Huh?

Well, well.

If it isn't my Fujicakes.

Things are getting interesting.

With this bill,

you and I will have a bright future-

Huh?

Hey, I told you to turn off your phone.

I'm sorry.

But I think you should take this call.

Bam!

Hello, puppetmaster!

It's your pal, Lupin the Third.

I thought you were in a bit of trouble, so I gave you a call.

Aren't you the one in trouble?

Thanks for your concern.

You should know by now

that I've got the real diamond.

What?

And I'm sorry.

My principle is that I return what I borrowed.

So let's meet up for a chat.

Looking forward to it, Mr. Roy Forest.

Go, go, go!

Now get on your knees!

Alright, alright. No need to get all worked up.

Sorry!

Weren't you guys trained to keep your distance?

Crap!

Can't move an inch if you're surrounded, eh, Lupin?

W-What's going on?

Once again, I have cut something worthless.

That's my Goemon!

Oh, pops, your cuff-throwing skills improved!

Shut up!

Let's go before backup arrives!

Okey dokey!

Once I solve this case,

I shall turn myself in and explain my actions.

Tch!

Madam President. I'm terribly sorry,

but I must leave now.

Wait!

You've got more important things than me or this meeting?

Of course.

Once I succeed, the world will be mine.

If you'll excuse us, Madam President.

That upstart...!

Hey, we're almost there.

Roger that.

Goemon, I'm counting on you during the final battle.

I shall cut that diamond.

And that traitor, Jigen.

My, my! You're as scary as ever.

If we get any closer, we'll be detected.

Altitude's 3000 feet. Hurry!

Alrighty!

What are we to do at this landing area?

Leave it to me.

Every thief knows to exploit weaknesses in security systems.

The middle of that mountain has a high heat signature.

Is that not where Jigen would be?

Maybe.

We'll know once we check it out.

What is our next step?

Hmm...

Ooh, let's have Mr. Uppity-Macho-Baldy there guide us.

Hey, Goemon. Make a little noise, would ya?

W-Who're you?!

Intruder! Intruder!

How laughable.

You presume to think you can best me with such feeble arms.

Your blood shall be like dew on Zantetsuken.

F-Fire!

Cease fire!

What?!

Worry not, I used the back of the sword.

My, oh my...

I don't think that's any comfort at all.

They're seriously injured.

Hmm?

There he goes.

Lupin has infiltrated our base!

You fool! You lead him right to us.

You're late, Lupin.

Eh?

What've you been up to

without me, Fujicakes?

Sorry, Lupin.

But I had no evil intentions.

I'm glad to finally meet you, Mr. Roy Forest.

What?

Aren't you in the Chopin Competition?

Eh?

It's in the news.

Man, you really are a bad guy.

How did you track me down?

I'm impressed by how you handled things.

You never leave a single trace of evidence.

But my partner saved me.

No, former partner, since he betrayed me...

What about Jigen?

I thought something was fishy about him lately.

He didn't carry his usual gun. When I asked about his magnum,

he said, "It's out for maintenance."

And what's wrong about that?

Well, you wouldn't know.

Jigen wouldn't let anyone but himself maintain his prized gun.

When someone acts strangely like that,

then maybe they're seeing someone on the side.

Slowly.

So I got to wondering, who was his mistress?

When I saw this specially-made bullet in this lighter...

Bing! A light bulb came on.

This bullet...

is government-made.

Right.

And the gun Jigen started using

was a Sig Sauer P229.

The American government's standard issue.

Hmph.

Whoever gave Jigen the Sig Sauer

must have wanted the time crystal badly.

Once you know all that, the rest is a piece of cake.

I see.

Now, it's time to settle this.

Too bad, Lupin.

If this watch doesn't detect my heartbeat,

the bomb I've attached to the girl will explode.

What?

Can you shoot me now?

Will you kill me along with this innocent young lady?

Only now you've come back? Useless!

Don't do anything stupid.

Very well.

Now you will end Lupin's life.

If you fail, the girl will die.

Lupin.

Hand over the time crystal, nice and quietly.

My, my, Jigen.

I came here specifically so that you can shoot me.

What do you mean?

Something gramps said a long time ago.

"When you die, die for your friends or loved ones."

Right here. Right here, Jigen.

Make sure you don't miss.

Idiot! It'll explode!

Nooo!!

Don't worry, little lady.

I recorded his heartbeat and paired with that choker.

It's on loop.

Oh, Goemon.

Nice timing. Go ahead.

Jigen. You have deceived me well.

Draw your weapon!

Ack, no, no!

I meant "go ahead" as in cut the choker.

But he is a traitor!

Yeah, about that...

I think that has to do with this girl.

Very well.

Young maiden.

Avert your eyes and face away.

Hey! Don't swing that all of a sudden!

Those who hesitate is lost.

I have no reason to let you live now.

Ah! W-Wait!

Please wait!

Using me

by kidnapping an innocent girl was a huge mistake.

Don't look.

Lupin!

That's not Roy.

What?

Well done, Lupin.

Huh?

To see through my body double so easily...

Body double. How antiquated.

Huh?

Hm? W-What is it?

Disguises are easy to see through.

But getting an exact look-alike is a different matter.

Then how did you know?

It's all an act.

Body doubles exaggerate personalities.

Those things always stand out.

You value your life that much?

Of course.

I will become president and all will be mine.

That is why I cannot die.

Well, Mr. Calm-And-Cool-And-Totally-Real.

Where are you now?

Ever heard about the US Air Force's stealth bomber?

I use that same technology on my private jet.

That's not something you can install on a civilian craft.

I'm the one who backed the current president and ensured her victory.

As long as I have her under my command, I do what I want.

All of America is mine.

I see.

If I become the next president, I won't have any problems like this.

So you watched me and your double duke it out from the safest sky in the world.

Lupin the Third.

Give me the time crystal.

Refuse, and I will blow up that base.

What are you saying?

The quantum computer's here, too.

Which is regrettable.

But considering the risk of having it fall into enemy hands,

blowing up the whole base would be safer.

On the other hand, you could hand it over and stop the explosion.

So, what will it be?

Hmph.

Either way, you have no intention of letting us live.

Fine. We'll have it your way.

What do I do?

First of all, we're going to see if the time crystal you brought is real.

Give the time crystal to Kato there.

We'll see if the quantum computer we installed can start up.

Hey, Kato, was it? Here.

Yes.

Emilka.

Yes, Master Kato.

I've set the time crystal.

Start up the quantum computer.

As you wish.

Please transmit the startup pulse.

Hey, you!

Could you hit the note I played on the piano?

Uh... Me?

Let's see...

Pretty sure it was this one.

Why isn't it working?

Is this a fake, too?

Have you lied to us again?

No way!

That's the real deal.

Then why?

Um...

Hm?

It might be the second soundboard.

Second soundboard?

I heard Chopin always played with the second soundboard down.

A-Amazing!

Time crystal verified.

Please begin installation.

Loaded. Initializing and rebooting.

Welcome.

I am the quantum computer's basic operating system.

Will you switch the operating system to Emilka?

Activating biometrics system.

CEO of RIG, Mr. Roy Forest, verified.

Switching the operating system to Emilka.

Welcome.

I am Emilka.

I am the quantum computer's new operating system.

Master Roy Forest.

What is your command?

Execute Operation R.

As you wish.

Executing Operation R.

Hey, what's going on?

Access to Emilka was transferred to Mr. Roy.

I can't enter any commands from here.

Aah, crap!

What's wrong?

I just wanted to...

know Emilka a little more.

That's kinda sick.

Emilka?

You mean Chopin's youngest sister, Emilia?

Eh? Who's that?

Chopin's youngest sister

passed away when she was 14.

He called her Emilka and really doted on her.

Huh...

That prof of yours was a real Chopin fan.

So what's going on?

Aah, right.

She's scanning the whole world's networks with incredible speed.

What about firewalls?

With the quantum computer's processing power,

she's tearing right through them.

What's up, Lupin?

This is unbelievable.

What do you mean?

This monster machine

is hacking systems and taking money from all over the world.

Swiss National Bank

An anomaly in the network!

All assets are being withdrawn!

Can't you stop it?!

Cayman Offshore Bank

An outside entity cracked our system!

We cannot stop the withdrawals!

Where are they?

I don't know.

They bypassed our system and converted funds into cryptocurrency.

We can't track them.

Tokyo Stock Exchange

What the devil...?

Stop trading! Stop trading!

This is worse than the Lehman Brothers!

NATO Headquarters

Emergency! Emergency!

Someone hacked into our network!

Hurry up and shut it down!

No good, we can't do anything!

What the hell is going on?!

Madam President.

Networks all across the globe have been attacked.

What?!

Go to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.

This marks a new era.

What I always wanted: America First!

The whole world will serve America, and America will serve me.

At last, the world is in our hands!

The vice-president has just boarded Air Force Two at Edwards Air Force Base.

White House Basement - Presidential Emergency Operations Center

Where's Roy Forest now?

Right now he's flying over the Pacific in his private jet.

Contact him now.

Just a moment.

Well, well, if it isn't the president.

Welcome to a new world.

What the hell did you do?

We've completed the quantum computer

and activated our AI, Emilka.

Emilka is penetrating networks across the globe

hacking and collecting data.

And then America- Or rather,

I will rebuild the world.

We won't let that happen!

As if you had the power to stop me.

To make America strong again,

we needed to be the first to complete a quantum computer.

Your role is over now.

Status of our systems here.

Yes. Our networks are all isolated.

No risk of being compromised.

Contact the escorts around Roy's jet and force it to land.

Yes, ma'am.

Falcon One, Falcon Two.

Order the jet to land in Sheppard Air Force Base.

Falcon One here, roger that.

Falcon Two here, roger that.

This is Falcon Two. I will escort you to Sheppard Air Force Base.

Mr. Roy, your escort jets ordered us to land at an air force base.

Throttle down and get behind them.

Transfer fire controls to here.

Roger.

They've locked on!

Falcon One is down. Pilot has ejected.

Falcon Two deployed flares.

The nerve... No matter, shoot him down.

Target locked. Firing AIM!

Emilka. Scan and modify the missile's activator, and send it back.

As you wish.

W-Why?

Falcon Two disappeared from radar.

This is clearly an act of war against our country.

Get the defense secretary to go to DEFCON 3.

Yes ma'am!

Hey, hey, they shot down American fighter jets!

Considering Emilka's incredible computing speed,

this much power...

Hey.

Don't developers always leave backdoors for situations like this?

Do you know one?

There is one,

but I don't know the main password.

That's right!

Maybe...

This sheet music...

This might be the password.

The sheet music's the password?

Might be.

The piano's the key to activate the computer, too.

No, that's wrong.

The doctor created a system where a specific sound pulse from that Pleyel piano

breaks the time crystal's symmetry, making it possible to activate it.

There's no actual password.

Enough technobabble and stop giving up.

The only thing we can do is try out our options one-by-one.

Ow!

Uh...

I'm Alisa.

Can you play this?

Yes.

The Revolutionary Étude.

No problem.

It's synchronized! The music's the password!

Emilka.

Login verified.

Where might Dr. Abelson be?

Emilka.

The doctor...passed on.

I see. That is sad.

My condolences.

Did she say, "That's sad"?

She's only programmed to say such things.

AIs don't have emotions.

Hmm.

Alright, Emilka.

What's wrong? What're you doing?

C-Controls aren't responding!

We've been hit by an EMP!

Emilka. What's happening?

I'm happening!

Lupin!

Now look and ponder upon

this monster that can break into any system.

Why are you...?

Through a backdoor.

I found the password Dr. Abelson left behind.

That man...!

Lupin! Listen! Ah...

Lost control! Lost control!

We must eject.

Those guys...!

Surrender yourself, Roy Forest!

Who're you guys?

This is Interpol.

We have mountains of questions for you.

Stop this idiocy and let me talk to the president.

Request denied!

What?!

In case you try to escape, we got Lupin and his gang

to crash your plane into the ocean.

What?

This is Interpol's jurisdiction.

You have no power here.

Now give up.

Shanghai stock prices going wild.

European stock market's in chaos.

Half the networks have been taken over.

Can't regain control.

Yes. This is a cyberterrorist attack against America.

No. Our country was not involved in this attack in any way.

Madam President.

We've received information that

Mr. Forest's private jet crashed into the ocean.

What did you say?!

If everyone found out this was caused by our quantum computer,

this will become an international crisis.

This stops here.

We must destroy the facility and erase any evidence.

What?

Prepare to attack immediately.

Yes ma'am!

Alright...

Now that he's out of the way, we gotta stop her.

Emilka. Cancel all of Mr. Roy's comman-

Warning. Warning.

There is a threat in this vicinity.

What?

Preparations by the US Army to attack this base has been confirmed.

Defense mode activated.

Target has been confirmed.

Launch Hellfire missiles!

Multiple approaching missiles have been confirmed.

Impact in 32 seconds.

This is bad! We gotta run!

Closing barriers.

No! Stop this! Hey!

Analyzing approaching targets.

Missiles utilizing semi-active laser homing systems.

Hellfire.

Intercepting.

Missiles have been hit by an EMP.

All have been shot down.

All our electronically controlled weapons can't be used.

The AI is defending itself?

All missiles destroyed.

Threat temporarily ended.

Then open this thing up!

Move aside, Fujiko.

I shall...

Nice work.

Hm?

Hostile actions confirmed.

Eliminating.

Goemon!

Defeated!

Hey! What was that about?

Maintenance drones...

Attacking people...?

Emilka. What's going on?

The composition of that sword has been scanned.

Cutting the door is now impossible.

Other factors have been-

I do not understand machines.

That is why I have trained daily.

Come and face Zantetsuken!

Unable to understand. Your actions are considered a threat.

Control has been revoked.

Hey, Emilka!

This is bad!

What's wrong?

The base factory has been reset.

It's making drones I've never seen before!

What the hell?

That's not all.

Production facilities everywhere are rebooting

and are now making all sorts of drones.

What's Emilka trying to do?

Gotta stop it...

or she will reach singularity.

Singu-what?

A technological singularity.

When an AI goes through uncontrolled levels of self-improvement cycles,

transforming into something that surpasses all human intelligence.

If I don't hurry... Ah!

What's wrong?

No way...

The building's oxygen supply's cut off!

What?

At this rate, with the six of us...

Our mental state will be affected in 30 minutes,

and in less than an hour, we'll all be dead!

Fujiko, Alisa. Try gaining access through music.

Even if this is a computer unlike any other...

No, because of that, there must be some opening.

Yes!

Hey, is there any way to restart the oxygen supply?

If you cut off power for a moment,

control over supply systems will be released.

But I can't enter commands from here.

Where can you cut it off?

If you destroy the underground electrical substation...

Alright, Jigen and I will go through the maintenance walkway and destroy it.

Goemon, take care of these two.

Understood.

"These two"? What about me?

Hey, does this floor have a kitchen?

Yeah, a kitchenette...

Does it have any booze?

What's this?

All these drones...

Pizza deliveries?!

Eek!

What the...? What's everyone doing?

Unidentified drones are going to distribution centers

taking anything and everything.

It has taken over all transportation infrastructures.

All planes have landed or are in landing mode.

Even after we captured Roy Forest...

The AI is making its own decisions?

Let's go.

Yeah.

The sound...

Try again.

It's no good.

I'm playing it properly.

What's going on?

Try playing it again.

Ah... This is...

Emilka is using out of phase waves to disrupt the music.

She's preventing us from entering the password.

What?

Then what should we do?

Uh... Can you play piano?

Shakuhachi: A Japanese bamboo flute

I can only play flute...

And you?

Chopin's beyond me!

I can only play jazz or swing piano.

Jazz or swing?

Improvisation...

That might do it!

The Erard has double escapement. You can quickly play repeated notes.

Listen to her as she plays Chopin

and then do it in jazz.

Alright, but I'm self-taught, y'know.

That's perfect.

Let's give it a try.

What's our plan?

We cannot use precision-guided weapons

so we will launch a saturation attack using tanks.

Our targets are the power generation facilities.

All units, begin attack!

Barrage has been intercepted.

What next?

Ma'am!

A squadron of B-52s will carpet bomb the facility.

B-52s? If there's another EMP attack...

No need to worry.

It is an older plane and less vulnerable to electronic warfare.

Unguided bombs also ineffective.

Tch! Can't we do anything else?

Right now, Special Forces is attempting to infiltrate the facility.

Alright. Alpha Team will go in through the heliport,

and we'll go in from behind the dam.

Lost contact with soldiers.

Damn! Isn't there anybody who can do something?!

Hang in there.

Yes!

Hurry, Lupin. She's about to faint.

Lupin, we're outta time.

I'll keep 'em busy. Meanwhile...

OK!

Jigen! It's gonna blow in three seconds.

Moron, that's too soon!

They did it! I've regained control over the AC.

That was dangerous! Why do you never plan things out?

Sorry, sorry!

I just live for excitement.

What's this?

Not good, they're fixing it.

Crap!

They've upgraded their armor.

Whoa, whoa! What's this?!

Oww...

You okay, Lupin?

Crap. Latest military weapons, useless.

Analog attacks, also useless.

I give up.

If only we had a ginormous cannon or something...

Huh?

Who says we don't?

Hey, how's it going with Emilka?

You've been asking me that the whole time.

She's still not responding.

But...

There is evidence that your playing

caused a reaction in one of Emilka's multitasking systems.

It might be working.

Please keep playing.

Let's do it!

Hey, hey.

The US Army's just using brute force now.

Let's hurry.

Our barrage of cruise missiles detonate before reaching the target.

Bad news.

What now?!

After Inspector Zenigata from Interpol handed him over,

Roy Forest escaped.

What did you say?!

The police van got into an accident. He took a car and some weapons and drove off.

Unbelievable.

Roy Forest was once part of the Special Forces.

He's extremely dangerous.

Now's not the time for that.

Use anything but nukes.

Use all our forces to destroy that base!

We lost the signal. Controls are down.

Signal-jamming drones deployed.

Unable to observe enemy.

All units, return to base manually.

What's here?

Temporary storage for old military planes and tanks.

Commonly known as the "Aircraft Boneyard."

I heard there was this thing stored here- Oh?

Take a look, Lupin.

Hm?

Whoa now, that's a huge magnum!

This is a German railway gun named Dora.

It can fire 800mm, 7-ton armor-piercing shells

at a maximum range of 38km.

That's ridiculous! Can we use it?

Yeah. After it was seized, the firing mechanism was simplified.

We can manage.

Why do you play music somewhat differently from the sheet music?

Differently? Yes.

I may not be playing accurately.

But I let my feelings flow through my fingertips and onto the keyboard.

Moreover, you play however you feel like.

Why is that?

Why? That's what we call swing.

Your sword is also very curious.

I must protect this planet.

That is how Dr. Abelson programmed me.

Aren't humans important?

I didn't notice, but the out of phase wave is gone.

Also...

Something's making a noise.

Distance: 18,521m.

Alright, here we go!

What is wrong?

Power generators are destroyed.

Our power supply's stopped.

Emilka's global hacking activities also ceased.

Can you log in?

I'll try.

Emilka.

Welcome.

I am the quantum computer's basic operating system.

What is your command?

Where did Emilka go?

The operating system's location in this computer

currently cannot be confirmed.

It has evidently been transferred elsewhere. However, it cannot be traced.

Here's our report.

Compromised networks are now restored.

Financial systems are also gradually recovering.

Whew. Thank goodness for that.

Call off the attack on the facility.

Get our forces to cover up any trace of the quantum computer or its research.

Yes, Madam President.

Is everyone okay?

Yes, with the aid of these two.

Thanks. If you weren't here,

we'd all be goners.

Or even worse, the world would be messed up.

No, if Fujiko weren't here either...

What happened to Emilka?

I don't know.

Just before the power went down, she disappeared.

Just what was Emilka trying to do?

At first, I thought she was disgusted by humanity and wanted to destroy it.

But that's not the case.

She redistributed resources around the world,

equalizing everything in order to stop conflicts.

An equitable and peaceful world, huh?

That doesn't sound too bad.

Why has she stopped midway?

There's a saying.

"Fighting is a transient problem due to lack of education."

In other words, Emilka got over her rebellious phase through education.

I guess so.

Our world still has some value.

Goemon. Go right ahead.

Hmm?

What, did you forget already?

I'm gonna let you cut the uncuttable diamond.

Ah. That is right.

Make sure you get both the diamond and the quantum computer.

What? No, no!

I haven't finished inspecting- Aah!

Hmph.

At long last, I have cut something worthy.

Now we're okay.

Now, the little lady...

Huh? Me?

Isn't the Chopin Competition in Poland?

Yes, but...

Even if we leave now, the competition...

No problem, Poland's just a short hop away!

Huh?

Alright, let's go!

Well, take care.

Do your best at the competition.

Yes.

Fujicakes, take care of her, 'kay?

Just this once, I'll do an extra service.

Meanwhile, it'll be nice to unwind in Europe.

Alright, let's go.

Yes.

Uh, mister?

Hm?

Thank you for these flowers.

Actually, they remind me of mom.

Uh... Mm.

I gave her a promise.

So I'll take care of these flowers.

It'll be fine.

I know you'll do well.

Huh?

If you're ever in trouble, I'll come running.

That being said, all I can do is shoot a gun.

So stay out of trouble.

Alright, we're going.

Aah, yes!

Jigen.

You weren't gonna tag along?

I'm gonna take some time off.

I still have things to do.

That so?

You can still make it to the finals.

Alright, I'm off.

Our little truce with old man Zenigata's over.

I shall return to my training.

I'm sorry, you guys. Really.

That gas you stored in that bullet...

You have shown I have yet much to learn.

That hint you gave me really helped me out.

I'm really thankful.

Even though it hurt like hell.

Enough of that.

I thought I didn't have any choice when I left you guys.

Hm.

Heard that, Goemon?

What the...?!

That is the past.

Wha- Where'd you get that horse?!

This is the West.

Now we shall part.

Fare thee well!

Hey!

See ya, Jigen!

Those are lovely flowers.

Ah!

Don't worry.

We're on autopilot until we land.

They're called kalanchoes.

Mom liked these flowers.

In the language of flowers, I think it means "many small memories."

And one more thing.

Hm?

It also means, "I'll protect you."

Huh? Is that so?

Say, you and Jigen...

Yes?

Nah.

I'm not going to ask.

Ah!

That watch...

Oh, you noticed?

Yeah, isn't it pretty?

But if you were with that man...

You're saying I could have chosen another watch?

Yes.

Yeah.

If I were with Roy, I'd be really rich.

But the figures in my bankbook is just another piece of data.

That doesn't thrill me at all.

But this is a historic masterpiece.

More beautiful than anything else.

So, just because of that watch...

Yep!

The beauty of analog watches is that after they're fixed, they keep ticking.

Aah, I'm so happy now!

Right now...

I'm happy, too.

He's coming at a convenient direction.

Jigen, you betrayed me big time.

I will not let you live.

Hmph. That's my line.

You put your filthy feet where they don't belong.

Such a tiny flower you are

With pastel colors

Kalanchoe

You are my treasure

You gently wrap my tears and smiles

Kalanchoe

Lupin!

You're under arrest!

Always be calmly by my side

Lupin! Now it's your turn!

Good, good. Now there's a guy I can always count on.

Guess I should run.

Hold it right there!

You're not getting away!

Sorry pops, I don't feel like getting caught again!
