Original subtitles

The night before the Russian revolution in 1917,

Emperor Nicholas II was living a life in luxury

and never could he have dreamt that he would be the last emperor.

At that time, the Russian gold reserve had reached 1240 tons.

It was 20% of the worlds gold reserve, one of the largest amounts in the world.

It was second only to America's gold reserve.

However, behind the scenes, there was inflation, increasing unemployment...

accelerating starvation...

and the lives of many people in the country were about to collapse.

Later that same year Rasputin, who served Nicholas II

and did all sorts of evil things, was assassinated.

Then, in March of 1917, there was a riot in Petersburg...

and Nicholas II was forced to resign in the evening of the 15th of March...

dropping the curtain on the Romanov Dynasty's 300-year rule of Russia.

After that, the Romanov family was executed in Ekaterinburg...

...where they were being held prisoner.

This was Princess Tatiana's dog Jerry, which she was very attached to.

History is such an interesting thing, isn't it?

This picture looks exactly like the picture of Lenin's statue being knocked down. History is such an interesting thing, isn't it?

This picture looks exactly like the picture of Lenin's statue being knocked down.

New York City Library, Audio-Visual Room This picture looks exactly like the picture of Lenin's statue being knocked down.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm too old to take history classes.

You're never too old to learn.

At that time, the Russian gold reserve had reached 1240 tons.

If you wanted to get the Romanov Dynasty's gold, you should've done it in 1917.

It was taken away a long time ago.

However, actual history isn't the same as what's written in the books.

New York City Library

The best place to look for a missing person in this city is in the coroner's office.

It's hot outside, but the air conditioning works well in there.

So it's natural for people to go there...

You're probably right.

...but the air conditioning in the library works too.

Well, this is a scary story.

The fact is, the Romanov family wasn't executed.

Yurovsky, the chief of the secret police, sympathized with the Romanov family.

He secretly let the family escape from the place where they were confined,

and he acted as if the family was executed.

Isn't the air conditioning in here too strong?

And Nicholas II, who successfully escaped, gave Yurovsky

500 tons of gold to show his gratitude.

500 tons!?

Right. Not grams, but tons!

And that gold is still hidden somewhere?

Exactly.

What's proving that?

You're too skeptical.

People become skeptical when they know you.

Anyways, the Romanov family had pretty daughters.

Oh, this girl, this girl.

This is Anastasia, the fourth daughter, who was famous for her beauty.

She showed up in the US media, as she lived in America before she died.

19...uh, what year was that?

Hmph. There are various opinions about that. You never know if that was real.

There's one more piece of evidence. If you see it, you'll know.

Bad luck. That book was rented yesterday.

Ouch, ouch...

Please come back next week.

No, no, no. I can't wait that long.

Could you please tell me who borrowed it?

There was another man who asked the same question about one hour ago.

Really? He came to borrow the same book?

That man also asked who had borrowed it.

But I told him I wouldn't say, even if he was Tom Cruise.

Ouch. If you didn't look like Madonna,

I wouldn't have asked you about it this persistently.

I can cancel my plans for tonight.

Maybe I should cancel my plans for tonight, too.

How about the Oyster bar at the Plaza Hotel, by the window at 8?

Why don't we get a room as well?

So, blah blah blah...

But... blah blah...is also....blah blah...

Lupin!

Shut up!

Lupin, that's Pops, I'm sure of it.

Don't say I didn't warn you...

That can't be right.

There's no way that Pops would be in an educational building.

See you, Lupin!

Lupin! You're under arrest!

Hey, Pops!

Director Osamu Dezkai

Good evening.

Who is it?

Judy? This is Judy Scott, isn't it?

Do I look like a bad guy?

Do I look like a suspicious guy?

Suspicious enough.

We... we're second-class mystery novel authors, and we'd like to read the book

you borrowed from the city library. "The Ransom of King Romanov", for our research.

That book is out of print, and we're running out of time for our release.

The door is open.

Face towards the wall and spread your legs.

Okay, okay. How's this?

You were taking a shower? Sorry to disturb you.

You smell good from that shower.

The eau de toilette is "Ara Mista".

It's ok to turn around, but do it slowly.

If you try something funny, I'll shoot you any time.

No man can complain about being killed

when he comes into a room where a woman is all by herself.

I won't complain.

You have half an hour to look at it, then I have to go out.

Okay, okay.

It's a third-class mystery. It's not worth researching.

Why did you borrow such a book?

Only a few hundred copies were published in the 1950's,

and the only copy that still exists is this one.

I found it by accident, and I also have a college major in Russian history.

There's no mistake about it, that book is the one.

Then let's go in. We can kill them all and get the book.

Not so fast, Big.

Does that book really have the answer to where Romanov's gold is?

The daughter of Nicholas II came to America, right?

The person who accompanied her was the author of this book.

I see.

Looks like they were out of money.

We'd better hurry.

Yeah.

What do you want?

Give us our guns back.

I still don't trust you guys.

It's not a matter of whether you trust us or not.

Get outta the way.

Move!

I said get outta the way!

Lupin.

They got away.

Shit!

How about the bedroom?

No one's there.

Hey, do you know them?

No, they're not my friends. Hey, do you know them?

No, they're not my friends.

Have you been involved with many guys? Or maybe with many girls?

They could've caused this problem.

I behave better than most girls.

Well, their target is this bestseller book.

Stop explaining, and figure out how to get out of here, quick!

We can't stay here 'til morning.

Relax. Let's stick around a bit longer and see how stupid they are.

I found them!

Gotcha! I was waiting for you.

Shit! Good that I got these bulletproof glasses.

Yeah, but they were expensive.

By the way, you said you were going out.

Where are you going? I'll take you there.

I'm going to the court.

A lawyer, by any chance?

Cool. I love intelligent women.

I'm suing my boss. The trial will start soon.

Suing him?

For sexual harassment.

Oh...

Make a right there, and then a left on the second corner.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, Judy, this book...

You can return it... to that hot clerk.

When I come back to New York, can I give you a call?

You try so hard...

I'm rigorous with my work and romance.

What is it?

Nothing.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

As I expected, Lupin is on the case.

I gave him the book.

That's okay.

It means they'll save us a lot of trouble finding the gold.

Right?

Now, go and get a big compensation.

Okay.

This traffic is really bad.

It's as bad as the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway.

Oh boy, someone's really in a hurry.

Impressive.

They've got guts.

Chile, South America

Have you attained spiritual enlightenment?

I believe that spiritual enlightenment is something

that you can't attain throughout life.

Well then, that means you've already attained it.

Spiritual enlightenment is the determination

to separate yourself from this world.

However, there's no one who has the determination to

separate himself from this world.

Look. There's someone who came for help.

Because of people like him who want power,

I can keep my temples in ten countries in the world.

Can you believe that they complain about things to me and then

give me tens of thousands of dollars.

Is Mr. Rasputon in today?

Of course he is, President Butch.

Business, business.

Concentrate!

Feels so good!

Move it, move it!

What's going on?!

Fuck you!

What did she say?

She said she loves you.

What a place for a date.

You see, this is the Bank of Liberty.

No way. That's just a local bank in an old hick town.

No way. I can't believe that they have 500 tons of gold.

I can't believe it either.

Among us, it's also called "The Bank of Bandits".

Bandits.

Bandits... Bank of thieves?

Yes.

Well, this bank is for thieves like us who are professionals.

Meaning they keep the money and things that we get from doing risky things...

until the heat has cooled off a bit.

They even clean the money if needed, although they charge for it, of course.

But it's such a small bank.

Can they hide those things in such a small building?

There must be huge amounts of stolen goods?

This bank was built in 1885.

At that time it was surrounded by fields,

even though there are a lot of buildings there now.

See, the whole underground of this town is a basement of the bank.

Wow. Then they really can hide 500 tons of gold there.

See?

How did you find this bank from that book?

Well, it didn't take much effort.

Because the author of this book himself had something to do with

the transporting of the gold.

This guy. The man who rescued the Romanov family from the execution.

The head of the secret police, Yurovsky.

This man came to the US with the 500 tons of gold that he got

to start his new life as a business man.

But a group of professional criminals found out,

and the gold was stolen by them.

The thieves that stole the gold, deposited it at the Bank of Liberty.

Exactly.

But that's strange.

It was more than 70 years ago that they deposited the gold.

Did they make a 100-year deposit or something?

Those thieves didn't get to use it.

They got shot by the FBI during another robbery.

They all died before it gained interest.

Yurovsky, bitter after losing the gold, investigated tenaciously and found

where the gold was being kept, and wrote it in his book.

I see.

Look at the last page of the book.

There are many numbers and words that don't make any sense.

Cryptogram.

Yes, lady.

That cryptogram was created in the Romanov Dynasty's traditional style.

So by using the Lupin family's traditional decoding technique

used by my grandfather Arsene.

See, see, see?

Texas...

Right, right.

San Antonio City...

Right, right...

Bank of Liberty.

Right.

But how are we going to get the 500 tons of gold?

That's the problem.

Well, roughly it takes about 35 trucks.

And there are many stores and houses close to the bank.

Our motto is to not disturb ordinary people.

Right, right. Think about it carefully.

Usually we use whatever means we like, but this time, we'll take the orthodox approach.

That's why I called you, Fujiko-chan.

People are irresponsible.

They pampered me so much during the Gulf War...

but after that, they say I can't re-establish the economy and call me incompetent!

If they wanna complain, they should make cheaper, better cars than the Japanese!

You don't have to be so nervous, Mr. President.

Everything will be just fine if you follow my advice.

I should've canceled that visit to Japan earlier this year as you advised.

It's absurd to worry about things from the past.

By the way, Mr. President, you have a big scandal problem right now, don't you?

What? How did you know that?

It wouldn't be a problem if she was one of your secretaries,

but never get involved with an actress, ever.

You'd better take care of it soon,

or you will have a big problem getting re-elected.

Yes!

And you should also take care of your athlete's foot.

Yes, I will, as you say.

What are you going to do after we get to New York?

I don't know.

Someone like me who seeks spiritual enlightenment,

doesn't plan for tomorrow.

Well then, be my bodyguard for a while.

I'll give you more than enough money and women.

Do you know what I hate the most?

Being forced by others to do things.

What I like the most is forcing others to do things.

Since I appreciate you letting me stay with you,

I missed your vital points on purpose, but I cut your finger in three.

By the way, I have your Zantetsuken that you care about more than your own life.

Damn you, when did you switch the sword?

If you don't do what I say, you won't ever get your Zantetsuken back.

Oh, you just thought that your Zantetsuken may be here.

And this time you thought about punching me in the face.

The more you resist, the harder it will be to get your Zantetsuken back.

Although I'm a fraudulent monk, my telepathy is very real.

I can easily tell what others are thinking.

Don't forget that.

Okay.

Hey, how did it go? Did you get it?

Sure, I got it just fine.

Okay, good.

How about you?

No problem.

But it's a good thing this storage space was vacant.

The owner of this place was a pretty widow, so I got it very cheap.

San Antonio City The owner of this place was a pretty widow, so I got it very cheap.

You never learn, do you?

I see, so this is the orthodox approach.

You see, Japanese people these days don't want to do these kind of jobs.

Work hard. You're an inspiration for all of Japan.

Hi, how are all you macho truck drivers doing?

Hey waitress, give me a soda.

Anything else? How about a big sausage?

Well, I need some strong, smelly, truck drivers. About 20 of them.

Lady, I'm a good driver, and I stink!

Me, me. I haven't bathed for three weeks!

How much are you gonna pay?

$300 for a day.

If I can go out on a date with you, $200 is okay.

It all depends on how good you are.

I still can't believe it.

That bank is too small to carry 500 tons of gold.

Because they have it there, everyone is talking about the bank.

With this kind of easy cryptogram, it's like plain English to professionals.

Hey, it's a customer. They're more popular than I thought.

Hello.

Hello. Welcome, Ma'am

Deposit or withdrawal?

I want to open a new savings account.

Oh, thank you so much.

Give an application form to this lady.

Yes, sir.

Award. Your bank is very kind and doing an excellent work,

so we present you with this award. City Mayor.

What a joke.

Did you say something?

No, but may I use your toilet?

Sure. Go ahead.

Take her to the toilet.

This way, please.

As I thought, 5 meters deep.

Cheers.

Well, let's celebrate in advance.

I wanna see the wonderful 500 tons of gold soon.

I wanna see it, too.

Who is it?

It's me.

Oh, it's "me"?

Yes, it's me.

So "me" came?

Yes, I came.

"Me" really came.

I really came.

I'm glad you came, Judy. Please, let's get inside.

Who's that?

Lupin has been picking up girls in New York and he met her there.

Here, this is Judy.

What happened to the sexual harassment trial?

Judy won, but because of that, she quit her job.

Boy, you're well informed.

That's because he called me every night.

See, now we're two couples.

I don't wanna be coupled with Jigen.

Well, have you gotten the gold yet?

You told her about that?!

Well, I told her a little while we were chatting. Cheers.

Do whatever you like.

He's pouting, even though he's a grown up.

Well, why don't we ask her to help us, since it'll be a big job?

Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?

Well, I don't really mind.

Then it's decided.

I'll go and work a bit more. See ya!

What are you doing, Lupin?

It's an "orthodox" approach, he said.

It's me.

Everything is ready. I can do it any time.

Wait a little longer.

But...

I said wait.

I'll see Calcione soon. You'll do it after we speak.

But there are others who are trying to get it.

What are you gonna do if they get it before we do?

Do it after I talk to Calcione.

So we don't do it now?

We'll have to wait at the hotel.

Shit.

See you later.

Be back in a minute.

Welcome, come... come.

Don't move. Hands in the air everyone.

Sorry, but you'll have to close the bank for today.

I said close the bank. Send everyone home.

The money is in the safe. Take it!

Ta-da! Don't underestimate us.

The amount of cash you have in this small bank

won't be enough for even a week for us.

We spend a lot.

This guy looks like he knows who we are.

Of course. If he didn't know the face of this star, he'd be an outsider in our world.

The third manager of the Bank of Liberty, Duke Brown.

He's been a veteran with black market banking for 30 years.

Hey Lupin, not done yet? We're attracting more police than needed.

A little bit longer.

It must be somewhere around here.

What are you looking for?

Here it is, Jigen.

Hey, stop it.

Even if you say stop it...

Hey, wait a minute!

Don't be ridiculous...

No one has survived after stealing from the basement.

Shut up.

Stop it!

Jigen, take care of things there. See you later.

Okay, don't worry.

Police cars surrounded the bank.

I told you so. Someone got there before us.

That was a good shower.

And you're still saying we have to wait?

Yes, you wait.

Just follow your orders.

We're on our way to see Calcione now.

Take a shower and relax.

What I do is none of your business.

Here they are.

This is the crown of the Napoleon family that disappeared

from a Western Museum in 1956.

Oh, boy. Picasso's Jacqueline is here too.

Hong Kong-made fake bills that ruled the world at one time.

There's so much here that I almost forget what my real target is.

No, no. I always make mistakes because of this.

My target is inside here.

I didn't forget.

New invention: LCD digital safe opener.

Let me see, seventy-eight seventy-five, seventy-eight seventy five.

Here it is.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Bum-bada-bum. I found it, Jigen.

Is there really 500 tons?

Of course.

Stop it! Don't do it!

Several people owned that gold and now it belongs to Calcione!

Calcione?

He's the head of the New York mafia.

If you steal from him, they'll follow you to the gates of hell!

But it's too late now.

Listen, bank robbers. You are completely surrounded.

Drop your weapons and surrender.

If you do, I'll think about guaranteeing your lives.

Okay? The second you see them, open fire.

I'll be responsible.

One, two, three, four...

Let's see, 17 steps from the north, and 32 steps from the east.

Okay, I'll put it here.

Hey Jigen, I'm done preparing for the explosion.

Okay, okay. I'm ready any time.

Fujiko, we'll start it soon.

Okay.

30 seconds...

25 seconds...

Well, you have a job, too.

They're coming out.

Shoot!

Chief, he's holding the manager hostage.

We have a hostage. Step back till I can't see you anymore.

You won't be able to get out of here!

If you surrender, we'll send you to a jail that has air conditioning and TV!

So surrender now!

Thanks for your consideration!

Three...

Two...

One...

Zero!

Lucky, there was an explosion at the bank!

I can see the smoke!

It wasn't just an explosion.

They were almost at the same time, but there were two explosions.

What?

Moreover, one of them was in the basement.

Huh?

Well, that's okay. We're still waiting.

Looks like it worked well.

Yes.

Hi Fujiko, Judy-chan.

Start formation B.

Okay.

All right, all right.

Two of the four New York mafia families have been beaten by the European mafia.

It may be my turn next time.

You've been doing whatever you like. It can't be avoided.

You've helped me several times before. Can't you help me again?

Please help me.

Okay, then I'll listen to the voice of the spirit world that controls the future.

Shit. The man's getting old.

He's listening to such a swindler.

If things go as they are now, the Calcione family will go down.

What's wrong, Rasputin?

I can see the implication that you will lose not only your power and fame,

but your wealth, too.

W-wealth?

Right. You have something in a bank in the south, don't you?

Are you saying it'll be stolen? Don't be silly.

Don't despair, Mr. Calcione.

This is the reason your destiny is getting worse.

Those 500 tons?

The wealth bears the deep-seeded grudge of its former owner.

If you let it go, it'll bring you luck and happiness.

Hello, Jigen. I'm doing fine, just fine.

But it looks like it'll take till the evening to clean all this up.

So take good care of things up there.

You too, work hard, Lupin.

Chief, shall we call down the FBI for help?

Bastard! Are you trying to interfere with my case?!

No, I didn't mean it that way, sir.

Then keep quiet if you don't want me to use you as a human shield.

Yes, Sir.

There aren't any traffic lights. Why don't you go faster?

If you want to go faster, why don't you ride on a missile or something?

What?

Ouch!

It'll be worse if Lupin gets away!

Stop it!

This is Lucky.

It's me.

I've taken care of Calcione, so he won't do anything even when his gold is taken.

Start the operation at once.

I can't believe this. I told you that it's too late.

If it's already taken, take it back.

You're professionals, aren't you? The contract is still active.

You shouldn't be finding this amusing.

You'll have to work, too.

What, really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, I got it.

What's wrong?

As that man predicted, the basement safe in San Antonio is being robbed right now.

The gold?

That man, Rasputon, is really something.

I'll send our men to San Antonio right away.

Wait, wait, wait. Donbino.

If we can get rid of the evil spirit by giving the gold away, it's worth it.

What? Do you believe that swindler?

I love money. I love money.

Everyone wants peace in his mind.

I love money. I love money. Everyone wants peace in his mind.

I also love cakes. Everyone wants peace in his mind.

I also love cakes.

He was just a foolish, perverted old man.

Calcione, your era is over.

Let's take a shower together.

Next.

Hi. Is everything going well, Judy?

Oh, hi.

Even this gold can't win against your beauty.

He has said the same thing to me before, too.

Men are always like that.

It must be Lupin and Daisuke Jigen.

I'll be there shortly.

Don't do anything until I get there.

I can't guarantee that, Inspector Zenigata, because the chief in charge there...

...is a big fan of Dirty Harry and has seen "The Dead Pool" 35 times.

I've seen it at least 40 times myself!

Chief, the sniper team has arrived.

Good, position them right away.

As soon as we're ready, we'll attack.

These are the last ones.

Fight!

Fujiko, I'm done here.

Good job.

You know what you should do now?

Of course. We'll be waiting for you at Monument Valley.

See ya.

See ya.

I'm done, Jigen.

Oh, me too. We're ready for a festival.

I see...

You'll be safe here. Don't do anything for a while.

Please keep quiet about the basement!

Don't misjudge us. We have manners at least. We won't tell anyone.

Good luck.

Fire!

So they started...

I wanna do it too.

What's that?

It has nothing to do with us, it's a transport company

that's next door to the bank.

They're coming.

Well, then...

Follow them, follow them!

Chief, look up! Follow them, follow them!

Chief, look up!

Chief, are you okay?

I wanted to see Dirty Harry one more time.

There they are!

Go back. Make a U-turn, U-turn.

What happened?

We ran out of gas!

Hey, make a right at the pass coming up.

Huh? But isn't Monument Valley to the left?

We changed our mind, sexy boy.

Women are always like that.

We should play Black Jack at least once.

Monument Valley

Where are we meeting Fujiko?

Around there.

Fujiko-chan, sorry to keep you waiting.

You don't have to hide any more, Fujiko.

Lupin.

Fujiko!

Lupin!

Huh?

Lupin, thanks for your hard work.

We changed our minds and took the gold with us.

So please work hard on your next plan. You can do it.

Sorry. I was working with Fujiko.

We're sorry!

That's why we can't trust women.

Fujiko... We can't deal with women if we get upset like this all the time.

Huh?

I don't want to make any more mistakes with women.

Hey, Lupin, isn't it time to think about your relationship with Fujiko?

If I were you, I would.

Lupin!

Wait Lupin!

Hey, did you say something?

Nope.

Here, bring them in here in line.

Right. Please put them in order from the back.

No, not there, but a little further back... there. Hangin Neck Hill Ranch

Thank you everyone. Thanks for your work.

Thanks.

Thanks.

The promised amount was $300 per person.

Lady, you still don't wanna go out on a date with me?

If I change my mind, I'll give you a call, George.

But be careful when you call so that my wife won't notice.

I will, George.

Have a nice evening!

You too!

What do we do now?

We'll look for a buyer, of course. It's 500 tons after all.

It'll be at least 5.5 billion dollars.

60, no 70% for me, and 30% for you, okay?

Yes, that's our deal, after all.

If you do what I say, I won't shoot you.

I don't like shooting women into Swiss Cheese.

Denver? Hanging Neck Hill Ranch? Good job.

Okay, I got it.

Okay, Big. When they come, our job is done.

Let's take the fee and take it easy for a while.

Let's go to Florida.

Don't move!

Hey, don't you wanna have some coffee?

Yes, I do.

No, you shouldn't refrain from it like that.

Blue Mountain or Moca?

Espresso.

There she is. Fujiko is in there.

Are you sure, Lupin?

Well, I changed her earring to match my taste.

What's wrong, Fujiko?

What's wrong? What happened?

Stop there. If you want to eat lead, let me know.

I'll send it right into your stomach.

Fujiko, we wanna be invited for coffee, too.

Oh, no, Lupin.

I always tell you to call me first before you drop by.

I did, but the line was busy.

Don't Big!

I trusted you, Judy.

I'm sorry.

What the heck is going on?

What's that?

They came to pick us up in a former Soviet Army Super-Convoy SP601.

It's called the "King of the Tundra".

"King of the Tundra"?

He bought it when the communists fell and it showed up on the black market.

Who is he?

The man who hired us, of course.

Not good.

Lupin!

Lupin!

Lupin!

Lupin!

You're under arrest, Lupin.

I'm busy right now.

I don't care!

Hey, hey...

Lupin!

Hey, hey, wait a second.

Damn it! He took the whole 500 tons just l like that.

It's coming back!

Shit! Run away!

I'll see you sometime.

Big!

Big Mouth Joe.

Jigen, Fujiko, Judy!

You got light, Lupin?

Jigen!

Light?

Where's Fujiko? Where's Judy?

I don't know.

I won't forgive you. No matter what happens, I won't forgive you.

Why did you drop the bombs when you knew we were in there?

Big is dead because of you!

We had a contract with you, but you were never one of us.

Die!

Lucky!

Now it's time for you to get to work. Kill those two survivors.

Goemon!?

G-Goemon!? Goemon!?

Please, Lupin, Jigen, pretend that you're getting defeated.

So what's going on, Goemon?

I'll tell you later.

We'll be waiting.

We'll be waiting. We'll be waiting.

We'll be waiting.

I take my refuge in the Buddha Amida

It was really good that I hid some of the gold,

because I knew something like this might happen.

I'll take 70% and you get 30%.

It's not much, but since we decided how to split, here's your share.

You can buy some nice clothes with that. See you.

There should be a train passing by before dawn.

Nice working with you. I hope I'll see you again.

You'll take the train before dawn.

What is this?

I'm sorry, but I can't give this gold to anyone, not even one piece.

Eh?

Master.

What is it?

There's someone who wants to make a donation.

My deceased parents were also faithful believers of yours.

Please take this.

Are you related to the Romanov family?

No, not at all.

Both my parents are from farmer families in the Yuri region.

Then why do you have those?

Each one of them have the seal of the Romanov family.

I don't know. My father may have stolen it from somewhere before he died.

Please forgive me, Master.

Well, are you interested in training here?

Oh, no, that's too much to ask.

I feel empty.

I really feel empty.

New Mexico

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Tuna sandwich for me.

A large hamburger for me. Tuna sandwich for me.

A large hamburger for me.

Okay, okay. Take it easy.

I don't like this kind of living.

Well, we can't help it because we don't have any money at all.

Fujiko, did you buy any cigarettes for me?

We can't afford it!

That bastard.

Want some juice?

I'll kill him for sure.

What did the doctor say?

It's a miracle that he's still alive.

But he doesn't want to be hospitalized, no matter what.

There it goes.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

We were getting tired of waiting for your call.

Sorry. There's only one payphone in the village.

And moreover, there's a long line. I finally got my turn.

What's the noise in the background?

Snow storm.

S-Snow storm? Where are you calling from?

CIS Russian Republic, Baltic District, Cossack Village.

What?

In other words, it's a small village far in Siberia, right in the middle of the tundra.

Rasputon has his main temple near this village and they brought the gold here.

Hey, man. Aren't you on the phone a little too long?

Yeah, too long, too long.

So anyways, I gotta go. Bye.

He said he's in Siberia.

No way! How do we get to Russia when we have no money?

I only fly by first class.

Jigen.

What is it?

I'll have to use your credit card, ok?

Mine is already over the limit.

As I expected, he went back to the main temple.

All right! I'll go and finish the job.

Can we really get to Russia with this kind of plane?

Well, we have to. Right Jigen? Can we really get to Russia with this kind of plane?

Well, we have to. Right Jigen?

Right. If we don't get the gold. I'll have to declare bankruptcy.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Japanese sword?

They're hiding it somewhere. It's very important to me.

If you see it around, could you please let me know?

Important? More important than your own life?

Yes, of course, more important than my own life.

To tell the truth, there's also something here that's more important than my life.

So this is our promise.

Okay, I understand.

Lupin, isn't there any heater on this plane?

Oh, boy. Such a bad joke.

Oh wow, now we can see Siberia.

Lucky, where is Rasputon's temple?

100 miles to the northeast.

Now we can see it.

Hey, Lupin. Look, 2 o'clock!

The King of the Tundra.

Oh, what's this?

What the... There are homeless people here on the tundra as well?

I was waiting for you, Lupin!

Hey, Pops. Haven't seen you in a while.

You always face hardship, Pops. Really.

Please listen, Master.

Don't you think he's a little too rash?

I was planning on moving over to democracy slowly, but he interfered.

He even disbanded the federation and fired me.

Who cares about CIS. That bastard Yeltsin!

Keep quiet and wait for now. Your turn will come.

Really?

You've gotten yourself a Nobel Peace Prize. Have some pride in yourself!

Okay.

Thank you very much.

The next one is from New York. A representative for Mr. Calcione.

A representative for Calcione?

Yes. He said his name is Mr. Donbino.

Donbino? Oh, Calcione's conceited nephew.

I'll take a break first.

Certainly.

I was wondering what a beautiful woman was doing in another's room.

I see, she was looking for Zantetsuken.

Have you already forgotten? I can easily read people's minds.

But your real objective is something else.

It is to get the 500 tons of gold all for yourself.

Get your dirty hands off me!

You really are a descendant of the Romanov Dynasty.

I like the way you act so proud.

I knew it from the beginning.

You're the granddaughter of Anastasia,

the fourth daughter of Nicholas II, who went to America.

And your beauty is just like the one of your grandmother.

Don't be so upset. It's not like we're total strangers.

I'm the grandson of a prostitute and Rasputin, who was killed while

he was serving under Nicholas II.

Now, the answer is easy. You should work with me.

You're a descendant of the Romanov Dynasty

and I'm the grandson of Rasputin.

With 500 tons of gold, we could control Russia.

Don't you think it sounds exciting?

Well, I'll think about it if you marry me.

I told you that I can read your mind! It won't work if you lie to me!

Who's there?

You're taking me lightly, huh?

Since I was told that you were taking a break, I quietly waited here for 5 minutes.

Wait ten more hours. A petty gangster like you should behave like one.

We came to take our gold back.

Gold? What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb, you false prophet.

Sorry, but we set up dynamite in many places of the temple.

And if I touch this even a little...

This isn't good. Someone may have beaten us to it.

Let's go! Jigen, Fujiko!

Okay! Yes!

Wow, what a surprise.

You were not only a false prophet, but you were dealing drugs as well.

This is for the capital of my organization. It's a small amount compared to yours.

The amount doesn't matter. You shouldn't get into our business

without letting us know.

Stop it!

Okay, I'll give it back. I'll give the gold back to you.

You should've said so sooner, so we didn't have to do this.

This way. Come with me.

Okay.

Out of the way, or I'll shoot your Master's face off.

My followers, God is with us. It's time for worship.

How obedient your followers are.

What's wrong, Goemon? Are you feeling empty again?

No matter how old I am, no matter how long I train, love is always wonderful.

What's wrong, Goemon?

He looks like a home-run batter who can't hit a home-run.

Shall I shout?

The gold is in the cathedral.

Cathedral?

Oh, inside of that tower?

Lupin, where are you going?

Lupin!

Lupin, you came back?

Yes, but sorry, I'm leaving again.

Leaving... Where?

What are you going to do?

We'll do our own "root-out operation".

Root-out?

Have you forgotten that humiliating accident?

Oh, I see.

Right?

By the way, Pops, what happened to Lucky? He isn't here.

How would I know?

With this much, I can become a godfather not only for the New York mafia,

but for the mafia around the world.

You don't have that kind of ability.

What?

This gold was given to us by God.

You son of a bitch.

Goemon-san!

Thank you so much.

As I promised.

Push up the red, pull down the black and white, and push up the blue.

Thanks for the food.

Stop! It's my gold!

Lucky on my way.

Stop, don't shoot.

Big Mouth Joe has been my friend since I was a kid.

Unlucky.

Pops, take the wheel.

Finally, it's ours!

Lucky!

Hey, Lucky, are you okay? Lucky?

Is he dead?

Yeah.

Jigen!

I can't hit him?

I can read your every move.

I can read people's minds.

Isn't this where you wanna shoot next?

Step aside, Jigen.

Hey, how did you do it, Lupin? Lupin?

Huh?

Oh, I didn't think about anything. I just emptied my mind.

Really?

Yes.

He never gives up.

I thought I only had bad luck with men, but...

Don't worry, Fujiko. Gold only melts, it never goes away.

That's right!

It's the same as my love for you.

You're right. The gold is still ours. It's the same as my love for you.

You're right. The gold is still ours.

She isn't listening.

Hey, Goemon.

Glad you're okay.

Sorry, everyone, but I'm taking all the gold.

What?

Are you kidding? You didn't work at all this time.

If you don't do as I say, I'll kill you all.

You...

Judy?

Did Judy ask you?

I promised her.

Please, Lupin.

I would like to use this gold for the people in my motherland.

Your motherland?

My grandmother is the fourth daughter of the Romanov family, Anastasia.

With 500 tons of gold, I can help people who are suffering.

If you give me the gold, I will give you my life.

No, Lupin! Don't do it!

Lady, it's too much to ask for.

This is enough.

No, Lupin!

I have to take care of this.

Hey Judy, can we get this much for the three of us, for expenses?

Lupin, I'm truly sorry.

I can't stand it! No, no, no, no!

I want all of it!

Well, Pops, about you...

Hey, Lupin, wait!

See you later.

No!

Hey, hey. I'll give you my life. Hey, Lupin!

Lupin!

Nooo!
