Original subtitles

I have $200,000!

Sold, for $300,000!

What the hell?

Sorry, but there's no smoking in here.

Damn. I can't smoke anywhere here.

- What's all this about? - Yeah, what's the deal?

We have a report that a big-time thief is on these premises.

Do you know how much you'll lose if all your Picassos get stolen?

Move.

Our next item is Lot #27.

Hold on!

What's with the dinky knick-knack? This isn't a garage sale!

But it's in the catalog...

Yeesh. I want to get to the up market stuff...

Now, then! Lot #27! Marquez' Anniversary Ring!

The starting bid is $10,000! Do I have $10,000?

Get real...

$10,000, anyone?

$300,000?

- $400,000! - What?

$700,000!

$800,000!

The Picasso auctions start at exactly 8:00.

Lupin is DEFINITELY in there...

- $900,000...! - Umm...

- The manager says to close it up. - All right...

One million dollars! Item #27 sold, for one mill...

The madam on the phone wins it for $1,000,001!

Hold on, now! I haven't finished yet!

I'm sorry, sir. We have a schedule to keep.

Who cares?! I just want that ring...

That's some bad acting, Lupin.

Did you think that outfit would fool me?!

Ow...!

Not too shabby, Pops! But I'm actually after something else!

Why do you ALWAYS fall for my tricks?

Lupin! What are you...

What the? What are you planning?

Lupin! Your buddies run out on you?

What the?

The ring!

Arrest ALL the Lupin's!

I know!

If I ever lose my job, I'll just go to Hollywood and be a make-up artist!

Might even get me Oscar!

- Who're you? - Toss the ring here.

It's pretty shoddy, not even a single carat.

Then why does the great Lupin the 3rd want it so badly?

Sorry, but it really is worthless.

I only wanted it to win the heart of a certain girl.

But, "While there's life, there's hope," I guess.

Indeed.

Here.

After him!

"Lupin the 3rd: 1$ Money Wars"

See you!

Things are getting' interesting now!

Hey, buddy.

How much money you got on you?

You wouldn't want to pay with your life, now...

Yeah, I wouldn't want that.

I have some important business to attend to.

Think you could save your holdup stuff for later?

We want us some burgers and cola for dinner.

Come on, buddy.

If I say no?

Then we'll make you pay up!

Go on a diet.

What?

You're terrible! You promised you'd get me that ring!

Yeah, but this guy, he jacked up the price!

I don't care! I really wanted it!

I know you did, Sundy!

So have some of my passionate smoochies as an apology!

She gave YOU a passionate slap!

- Wait, Sandy! - Don't talk to me!

Sandy-chan!

Please open the door, Sundy!

Give me another chance, Sundy!

Lupin! How long're you gonna keep the bad act up?

Come on!

Bet I could get an Oscar with my great acting!

You know you were half-serious.

Don't be like that. I sure convinced them, didn't I?

Yeah, yeah.

- He's pretty far ahead. - So? We just take a shortcut!

Shortcut?

Central Park.

- Watch out! Don't bite your tongue! - Too late!

Sorry, Cutey-Pie!

Why, you...

OK! There they are!

Got him! Now what?

He's just a lackey. Let him take us to his boss.

So, is that treasure really worth $1,000,001?

Yeah. It's worth more than Fort Knox to those in the know.

What?!

They say whoever gets this broach can be king of the world.

King of the world?

Yeah.

For some reason, it's been passed from ruler to ruler.

Adolf Hitler, for example.

Before that, Lenin.

And much earlier than that, Napoleon had it.

This mysterious item has traveled the world over from ruler to ruler.

So you needed that ring to find the broach?

I didn't think anyone else even knew about the ring...

Anyways, the last time it's been seen was during the Cold War.

A revolutionist tried to get it after it vanished during the fall of Berlin.

But just before he could...

By chance, a soldier just happened to give the broach to a historian

to commemorate his daughter's birth.

Aware of its secret, the scholar sealed the broach away somewhere

to prevent the possible rise of future dictators.

Ah. So he engraved the secret into the ring...

But what do you want it for? To make your own Lupin Empire?

Of course not.

I just want to see this broach that the world's leaders

tried oh-so-hard to find.

So you're getting me involved with another of your hobbies, huh?

- I'm counting on you, partner! - Yeah, yeah...

B.O.W.? What's that?

"Bank of the World".

A boomtown bank that's really grown in the past few years.

No wonder you lost, you took on a bank.

No wonder. Now let's do this.

You needn't worry about Lupin.

Don't need to worry about Lupin, huh? That nitwit!

"He's just a woman-chaser."

- Get a load of this guy! - Ha! It's the truth, ain't it?

Couldn't you have found a better spot to spy from?

- Quit complaining! - You see the president?

All I see is the flunky.

How rare for an American elite to be a heavy smoker...

--Wow! --What is it?!

A woman!

He just wanted the ring to win some songbird at a club.

Is Lupin that simple of a man?

You overrate him, Boss.

He's nothing but a cheap burglar.

As a former Spetsnaz, I can assure you that.

Yikes!

What happened?

You've just made things much more interesting...

He's not just some woman-chaser.

Not Lupin...

Cut!

"I want to go shopping. I want to go shopping. I want to go."

Come on! Please? Just this once?

You're always so childish, Lupin.

Thievery isn't where it's at anymore.

Using the economy to get treasure legally is easier and more profitable.

That's easy if you can invest in movies, but I'll give you my take

if you'll invest in me. Okay?

I'll do other things for you too...

If you want an investment, then submit a business proposal.

THEN I'll consider it.

Who in the world writes up burglary proposals?

Crime is business, too!

Michael!

She's so weak around hot men...

But that's also why she likes me! Or not...

I guess it's another cargo plane for me...

Everyday, you toil at your jobs. Day in, day out...

And America's economy is currently at its peak.

Yet you don't live affluent lives. Why is that?

I have no desire to assist in your money-making schemes.

I am now striving for a tranquil mind through religion.

You have no problems helping a fake evangelist scam money.

- How dare you say that of her! - Hey, now!

You will pay for your insult!

I thought religious people weren't allowed to be violent!

If it's for the priestess' sake...

Goemon! What are you doing? Come along.

Coming!

I only wish to train. Refrain from luring me to the path of evil!

I take my leave.

You, also, should seek the path of salvation.

$100 a copy.

Hey!

I guess faith depends on money, too...

I hope you're not gonna ask me to pay after I eat all this?

Don't worry. This is a small token of gratitude.

Gratitude? If this is a bribe, I decline.

I'll pay the bill in installments.

You needn't worry. We have no ulterior motives.

Alright, then. So?

I'll cut to the chase. We want information on Lupin the 3rd.

Lupin?

He has his eyes on our bank.

May I ask the details?

Whew...

The great thief gets some great exercise, huh?

Like I have a choice. Fujiko refused to help fund us...

- Geez. Save some money, will you? - Look who's talking!

All the banks in the world are my piggy banks, anyway!

Sure is a pain getting money out of them, though.

Oh, it's you, Goemon. Don't scare us like that!

I thought you were turning religious on us with some girl?

We are having difficulty collecting funds...

- So I came to acquire some... - So basically you need some dough?

I suppose...

Get some with Jigen here. I'M after something sparkly!

OK! Now's our chance!

Goemon! Give us a hand here!

- I will do no evil! - I got news for you...

So? Are you certain you can stop Lupin?

Probably.

"Probably?"

I'm not paying you big money to hear, "Probably."

Make certain you kill him.

So you're going to obtain your goal of this entire landscape?

It's not a goal, it's a door.

A door to obtaining all of the black market economies...

That may be fine for you,

but all I'll have is a reputation as a hit man.

Being the one who killed the world's greatest thief won't be enough?

I'm a greedy man...

What I want is the brilliant woman who's been on the front page

of the Wall Street Journal and is even after the black market.

If you want high returns, you have to take high risks...

I take it hiring new bodyguards was high-risk, too?

It cost you a lot.

Hardly.

Three, two, one...

Well, then!

Long way ahead of us!

- Mind if I ask you something? - Be my guest.

Why do you think Lupin is after that ring?

I have no idea how criminals' minds work.

You sure have tight security, though.

You can never be too cautious. Wouldn't you agree, Inspector Zenigata?

What? The farthest one?

Is someone here out of luck?

Let's go!

Jigen!

- Guess you're the unlucky one. - Aw, shut up!

Here.

- Your butt will catch cold without one. - What about you?

I rely more on this than guns to fight.

What you say we get on with the millennium's greatest robbery?

Whoa!

What the?

Lupin! Get back here!

For a millennium job, this is pretty old-fashioned!

Why not? If we want to thwart their digital ways...

...analog's the way to go!

Take a right!

- Aren't your glasses digital? - Quiet!

This is training.

Emergency! Emergency!

All personnel, secure upper floors at once!

Seal all exits as well.

Damn you, Lupin! Ouch!

Lupin! How dare you!

What're you doing? After them! You, too!

- Nice to meet you, pretty president! - You!

- Lupin! Where are you? - Boss!

Don't mess up our date, Pops!

Ow!

Handprint match. Cynthia F. Craymov.

Way to go, hi-tech.

See? It's no match for low-tech, Jigen.

Thanks!

That ought a slow them down a bit.

Are you sure it'll be that easy?

Oh? You're awake already? Without a kiss from your prince?

- I'm not fond of monkey princes. - You're too funny.

Ah, well. Since you're up, you can open these locks.

If I say no?

You'll need to pay for repairs in here...

The Zantetsuken... Supposedly cuts through anything.

You're well-informed!

To investors, information is life.

According to my information, you should open it up.

- Lupin's already in there? - Most likely!

Then open the door already!

I can't! We need to get the console repaired first!

Lupin!

I take it you know about that ring's importance?

Do you think I'd steal a cheap ring like this if I didn't?

Whoops. Not so fast.

Now, then. We'll need a one-way exit out of here, Goemon.

You're not going to say you cut another whatever-thing again?

This is all for training.

I see...

- What was that sound? - Boss!

Sorry, but you're tagging along.

Think you could speed it up? Our guess will be here soon.

A successful escape! Now let's keep on going!

I don't think it'll be that easy.

- We're surrounded. - I suggest you give up.

Funny. I don't want to wind up with a well ventilated body.

Hey! You fellas hiding' over there!

You won't get a single cent if your employer dies!

It's no use. Just hand over the ring and give yourselves up.

- You sure are one persistent broad. - A problematic woman.

I might consider it if you guarantee our lives, though...

Your fan club is way too enthusiastic...

- The perfect thing to make an escape. - You sure sound happy...

You lack training!

Let the president go or I shoot.

Lupin!

Hey, now! You wouldn't want to shoot your boss!

Fire!

Stop!

Why're they shooting?

They likely have great skill...

...with their shooting!

It's so obvious you don't shoot women!

How'd you know?

What is wrong, Jigen?

Guns are like women, and Lupin's woman only listens to him!

- That's the fun part! - Whatever!

Sorry, but we part here. See you another time.

- There won't BE another time. - Are you so sure?

My hunches are usually right,

and I have one that says we will see each other again.

I guess you're right. Most likely I'll see you...

Stop! Don't destroy the helicopter! The ring!

Oh? You don't need it anymore?

Nope. Your woman's too hard to handle.

Her friskiness is what's best about her.

Jigen!

Lupin!

- Descend! Get Lupin! - Will we make it in time?

Lupin!

All are equal before God.

Even if this man did kill 35 people during Mafia disputes,

God might yet swallow His tears and forgive his sins.

I believe it will be difficult, but I ask that he have mercy on his soul...

A hit by the Butches?

Stop that!

- What's with him? - He's dead...

Who're you?!

S-sorry!

For the repairs and his funeral costs.

By God's mercy, may this man's spirit rest in peace.

From ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

Lupin! Why'd you have to die?

Bury him.

Wait! Stop!

Lupin's not dead, right? Jigen? Goemon?

This is just a plan to trick me like always, right?

Lupin!

Miss! The money!

It's not true, right? Lupin can't be dead!

He can't be...

Lupin!

Whatever the case, I want to finish what he started.

Why? There's no point in carrying out a dead person's last wish.

No point?

This only happened because you wouldn't help!

His proposal just didn't sound lucrative! Another burger, please!

How heartless...

Goemon.

Is this how you write "resignation"?

It's not wrong, but can't you write it more neatly?

You should take a correspondence penmanship course.

Maybe I'll do that.

- So? What are you going to do? - That's obvious.

There's only one thing to do after your partner's killed.

- It better not be illegal! - I thought you were quitting?

Oh yeah...

At any rate, we must be wary of meeting the same fate as Lupin.

We are up against an investment bank with ample funds.

An investment bank?

Yeah.

A new financial mob that uses hedge funds and shady bonds

to control the world's economies, including the black market.

B.O.W. Bank of the World. They really got us...

No way! They got me, too!

Yes! Small, developing countries are your best investment!

Low-risk, high-return!

Southern vacations, mansions with pools, farms...

They can all be yours!

I invested all my money in these Prince Bonds!

I thought it'd be safe since they were aggressively buying

major Asian corporations!

I see. There was a coup just before the bonds reached maturity,

so the old government's bonds are as good as scrap paper...

- That was everything I owned! - Seek salvation. $100 a copy.

- I hate religion even more! - That's what you get for being greedy.

Welcome.

This sucks, man! I got stiffed out of my taxi fare!

It happens...

No way, man! I drove here from L.A. for 3 whole days!

Well, that's the gist of it.

You're some woman!

Having Gilbert take full responsibility for your Prince Bonds scheme

and then skipping the country...

Even if he goes to prison, I'll ensure it's in a 1st-class accommodation

and that a 1st-class life awaits him after that.

So what's the problem?

And you'll be keeping all the Prince Bond profits for yourself?

I'll contact you once I solve the ring's mystery.

In the meantime, eliminate the rest of Lupin's friends.

Where's your beloved Combat Magnum?

She's seeing' someone else.

- They taken a fancy to her? - Maybe.

That's why I'm getting' her back.

You should get some flowers for your gal.

No, I'm going to dish out some lead.

So? Did you find out who he is?

Alex Nabikov, former KGB. Currently does dirty work for B.O.W.

Interesting.

Didn't his boss fly to Switzerland? So why not him?

Don't know.

In any case, this is the perfect place to settle the score.

And for an ambush. Let's go!

Guess we did keep them waiting.

Damn! She pulls to the left...

- It appears he stayed behind to kill us. - Persistent bastard!

That Magnum!

Jigen! Goemon!

- Fujiko! - Leave it to me!

Thanks!

A knife-wielder...

Goemon! Get him already!

- I cannot with you squirming! - Don't start blaming me!

Sorry, but she doesn't suit you.

You guys get back!

Impressive...

Why didn't you let me down first? That was dangerous!

- I'll take her back now. - Think you can get out of here?

- I'm not very good at giving up. - Neither is Mr. Nabikov.

Be seeing' you!

W-why?

- Damn! - Jigen!

- Are you all right? - How about you?

I guess.

What the?

Aah!

Your notorious Combat Magnum and Zantetsuken

are useless against this magnet.

Don't move your legs, now.

That there's an antipersonnel mine. One step and all hell breaks loose.

But if that doesn't kill you, this will.

Take your pick.

Well, when you see Lupin, tell him I'll see him again someday.

- Now what? - Die full of holes, or die blown up.

I don't want either!

What is this?!

The power went out and the mine deactivated...

What about the bomb?

- It's active! - It must be different!

- Let's scram! - Will we make it?

It appears they refuse to let us escape!

The end of Lupin's gang.

Did the good Lord keep you safe?

Who are you?

Instead of praying to God...

how's about a miracle?

- Lupin! - Lupin!

Is it really... Lupin!

But how?

All my past deeds were so bad, I got kicked out of heaven and hell!

- Get serious! - Ow! OK, OK!

It was more thanks to this old friend and not God...

I was definitely lucky that Jigen had given my Walther back.

That's my beloved Walther-chan for you!

- Oh? Then what about me? - Oh? Do I sense jealousy, Fujiko?

But how did you survive such a high fall?

That'd be this.

Yep, good thing I had that giant airbag with me!

What's more...

...lucky for me, I found the perfect stunt double.

The rest was a little charismatic make-up work!

I get it. So when Nabikov checked the body...

That's right.

- So, now what will we do? - Ain't it obvious?

Carry out our original plan and get the treasure back!

The broach that grants world domination?

We need money, not the world! I got cheated out of everything I own!

Still more into money than love, huh...

- How much is "everything"? - 80 million... dollars.

In Japanese yen, that's... 9 billion.

- Whoa! You saved up that much? - Call me Ms. Reliable.

What you say we split it when I get it back?

- No! But get it back! - You KNOW...

- I want to settle the score with Nabikov. - I wish to collect funds.

Alright, alright. It seems you all have your own objectives,

but for now, we're taking a vacation to a southern island!

- Vacation? - Yup!

I guess Japan's too far...

The minute I say I'm resigning, they tell me to pay my own way back...

But I have no money left...

Here comes another one!

L-Lupin?

Oh?! Having fun hitchhiking?

- Lupin! You're alive? - Yep! Just peachy!

- Then you're under arrest! - You just never give up...

Later, Pops!

Lupin!

So long, Pops!

Lupin!

Lupin! I'm SO glad you're alive!

- Out of the road, moron! - Idiot!

Ow!

So why'd we come to this island?

The only guys out here are underwater oil riggers.

Isn't it obvious? We're getting' rich off of oil, too.

- Yeah, right! Oil's all dirty! - Talk about self-centered...

Nobody said WE were going to drill...

They already drilled plenty enough, we don't need to bother with...

- What do you see? - Two large, stunning mountains.

- He never learns. - He lacks training.

Bingo!

"Richman Oil" has a nice ring to it!

- You the president here? - Can I help you?

I earned quite a bit during the '97 Asian monetary crisis.

What trick do you have to please me this time, Cynthia?

- The ultimate means. - Ultimate?

A war...

Many modern corporations have used wars to grow much larger.

In short, can you not say wars are the ultimate business chance?

If we're to expand our control any further...

But how do you start wars in this day and age?

All we need is for a dictator to appear...

Yes. The charisma to draw mankind in...

This ring is definitely your old man's work.

I see...

It's not worth much because of this scratch, though...

But it's NOT a scratch, is it?

No, it's secret writing we craftsmen often engrave...

What's that?

Something like an old film or slide projector, I suppose.

Hieroglyphics... Where from?

It's ancient Mayan. 3rd century Central America.

- What's it say? - You don't need to know.

I don't have any cash on me...

Can't use cards out here in the mountains...

- Thanks for lending me your shop. - That's OK. Nothing else going on.

Thanks a bunch!

This much? Are you sure?

It's all yours.

It's a fact there's tons of oil hidden on the ocean floor,

but nobody's ever hit the big one...

Hit the mother lode and you're filthy rich. The modern-day gold rush...

Yep! It's been great for my business, too!

Hidden oil and hidden Lupin...

Which would I be more likely to find?

No, I mustn't be weak!

I MUST find him...

They fired us without any warning! We can't help it!

Still, you need to pay your hotel bill...

Tell it to the oil company that laid us off!

What's with them?

They say they lost their jobs and can't pay their bill...

An oil company, huh?

Yes. Just last week they said they struck oil,

but it suddenly dried up two days ago...

Then the next company over supposedly hit it big...

They do say drilling for oil is like gambling. That's too bad.

Oh yeah...

Have you seen these people?

No...

I see.

Although we're still in the prospecting stage,

our underwater oil field

boasts an extraction rate of 5000 gallons per minute,

and the deposit has been confirmed to contain 670 million tons

and 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

After the tour, I will explain the terms for investing in our company.

Then we will draw up a formal contract with the company we choose.

I already said I accept your terms! Just give me the contract!

- We'll pay more! - What? Stay out of this!

This is a domestic affair!

Now, now. Many people want this contract,

so I must give everyone a chance to name their price.

- You're just trying to hike up the price! - Yeah!

We've taken our own risks to come this far. This is business.

Hey! It's slowing down! Is it leaking somewhere?

It's all over if they find out we're stealing oil from our neighbor!

Understood. I will check.

This, too, is for training and funds!

Everything's so hi-tech and simple these days...

I put the image I secretly took with Digicam-chan into PC-chan

and after some processing I drop it into an ancient language translator

and voila. The puzzle is solved!

A bunch of numbers, huh? So it's not decoded yet?

Wait. The numbers only go up to 26...

Which means...

...if I convert them into letters...

But where's the romanticism in this?

"We have sealed the symbol of greed and ugliness of mankind

which has brought chaos and total destruction to human society

in the hopes it will never appear in our history again."

"September 22, 1958. Written by Rick Fishburn..."

This is some bigheaded message Sundy's grandpa wrote...

Well, that's enough for hi-tech.

Now it's the world of romanticism involving smarts and experience!

Lupin!

- Oh, Sundy-chan! How'd it go? - Perfect! I landed a job!

Really?

Yeah! I'll be singing at a club in town.

That's not bad at all... Good for you!

Yeah!

So the Middle East is OK? How about the new oil fields on Cari Island?

They've hit the biggest deposit in years, including natural gas...

All the major oil companies are there to get the contract...

But what are we gathering all this oil for?

- Are we starting a war or something? - It's already started.

OUR war, that is.

That's right.

I'm making a bet. Gather all the funds you can.

- Huge profits? - Naturally.

Have I ever failed to get what I want?

Point taken. I wouldn't be living in Beverly Hills had you ever.

I trust you, Cynthia.

Hey! Get me another drink!

You've had enough, Mister!

Aw, shut up! I can't find Lupin, so all I can do today is drink!

I have it so tough!

I don't know what your story is, but you're not the only one who has it tough!

That man there, he drilled for oil for 50 years.

Then 3 days after he sells his place, oil starts gushing' out!

He really must have it tough...

- This one's on me! - Thanks...

- But it's so strange... - What is?

It's not possible... Striking oil there in only 3 days...

But you can't help that...

Whoops...

- That's them! - You know them?

They're the ones who bought me out!

What?!

Well?

We can start your war any time you want...

THIS is the best club on the island?

I mean, it's the best by far!

How was I, Lupin?

Marvelous! Whitney doesn't even compare!

Thanks! When you say that, I feel like I can succeed!

Now you just need a big break. I bet you could even get a major debut!

Even if I do, I won't forget about you, Lupin.

Thank you...

By the way, didn't your mom live here before she went to America?

Yeah. I heard the Fishburn family was pretty well off...

- Could you do another song, Sundy? - OK!

Do you know where the Fishburns lived?

The Fishburns? Oh, them...

They were ruined after the coup in '75.

I believe the new government also confiscated their home.

So Sundy's mom took refuge in America...

What's their home used for now?

The army hospital, I think...

Hospital, huh...

Take me,

- or leave me - Darn it!

The house he told me about was empty...

I never would've drunk had I known it'd be this easy

to find out about him!

Nope! I'm not drunk! As long as Lupin's out there...

Drunk?

Yeah! Maybe he is, too! I'll ask around!

Welcome.

Damn, he's already here?

Things're going to get tough now,

and I was just about to visit the hospital where Sundy's family...

Hospital?

I just had a great idea!

- I am NOT drunk! - Pops!

L. L. L. Lupin!

Hiya, Pops! You're earlier than I expected!

You're under arrest, Lupin!

Don't you know the saying,

"Don't drink and chase, don't chase and drink?"

What?

Catch me if you can!

I got you now, Lupin!

Gotcha, Lupin!

Who're you?

Call an ambulance!

I'm telling you, I'm Inspector Zenigata of the ICPO!

I caught the notorious international thief, Lupin the 3rd,

but he turned into this other man...

Whatever you say, drunk!

I am NOT drunk...

- Do we charge him for spying? - This moron?

All he did was bodily harm.

You showed up at just the right time, Pops.

Thanks to you, I got a free ride into the hospital!

Now, then...

So THAT'S it!

The current king is nothing more than a puppet.

We, the military, have true control

over our country's government, economy, and law.

So you can have any kind of dispute you want...

...even a war.

How were you able to contact the military leader on such short notice?

We're old friends. Afghanistan, the Middle East...

I see...

Now, about this war of yours...

We don't need a dictator nowadays.

We'll launch simultaneous guerrilla attacks in the Middle East, Africa,

the Americas, and other oil-rich countries.

While making sure our cover isn't blown, of course.

We'll make terrorist attacks and ethnic conflicts and the like

look like acts of anti-government factions.

We can then develop this into an all-out world war.

When that happens, whoever controls the oil can control everything.

- You're a real businesswoman. - You don't like businesswomen?

Not as long as we both share common interests.

Wars today aren't about killing the most people.

They're about who can steal the most money.

I leave you to create the world's greatest "Oil Shock".

Oil prices will go through the roof once the Asian markets open!

Buy like crazy while there's time!

The patterns on the decoration tiles on the hospital floors and walls

are the same Mayan symbols used in Sundy's grandfather's code

and pretty much most of that letter...

In other words, the message is written all over this hospital...

These are the only clues about the broach...

If I compare the symbols on the tiles with the ones on the ring

and remove all commonalities...

...and then convert those results using our alphabet pattern...

...and then search for words out of all possible combinations...

Main bed? Ah, the master bedroom...

Place a sketch from when Sundy's mom lived there

on top of the hospital's blueprint, and the master bedroom was...

...the operating room, huh?

Well, can't really work during the day.

Mystery-solving time's over!

And now...

And now I say adieu until it is time for work!

For you!

Well, I'm all better now! Bye!

I'm sorry, but we have no intentions of transferring control.

I'm home!

I solved the puzzle!

Basically...

Then how about a joint venture?

A joint venture?

Doing business just because you struck oil must be tough.

Won't the commercialization facilities require a large investment?

But if it's managerial control you want...

How much?

That's a hefty price.

I heard it was at $10,000.

It's the going rate.

In return, what do you say to 25% of our company stock

and 50% of the extracted amount until the deposit is depleted?

I'd have to insist on 50% of your stock.

Must be pretty loaded to pay that much for stolen oil...

Guess I'll say hello to our new business partner!

Wait! Lupin!

Let's have a top-level conference, Cynthia.

Lupin!

Surprised I'm alive?

Y-yes...

So this is your company...

Yep. I heard you guys were going after oil, so I beat you to it.

By only one dollar, though.

Fujiko. That'll be all.

Ow...!

Take your time!

What's her problem?

Is this payback for that $1 outbid?

Nope. Just business.

It's all water under the bridge now.

How does 100 billion dollars sound?

And your stock percentage?

- 30. - Make it 40.

How's 35?

When do we get the money?

It's a large amount. I'll need to get the board of directors' approval.

- Think you could do it today? - That's an unrealistic request.

Make it realistic and I'll throw in an extra bonus.

The broach that the ring leads to.

You solved the puzzle?!

- "Set a thief to catch a thief." - So why would you give it to me?

It's only fun up until you solve the puzzle.

Just like thieves and stealing.

Yes. Just like stealing...

Welcome aboard, partner!

I'm really into her!

Lupin.

- Are you in love? - Yeah, right! She's dangerous!

- Exactly! - I'll have you know!

Oh. That's too bad. For once, a girl feels that way about you...

What?

Hey, now, Fujiko!

Girls can tell these things...

Anti-government and terrorist groups will be receiving these tomorrow.

All at once, the world will go...

"Bye!" Peace is as good as dead!

"Welcome, wartime!"

Excuse me, sir!

About the man we caught last night who claims he's from the Interpol...

Interpol?

I told you! Call the ICPO and see who I am!

They'll tell you I'm a famous inspector out to get Lupin the 3rd!

We DID contact them.

But they faxed this back.

"An 'Inspector Zenigata' does not exist in our current records."

That can't be...

Oh no! My letter of resignation!

Haven't I seen you before?

You're the one who shot Lupin!

Mr. Zenigata. Is Lupin alive?

Oh, Cynthia?

Don't worry. The others said they sent you the funds.

But even I was nervous about this...

After all, this is 100 billion we're gambling. If we were to lose...

...we'd be known as the biggest fools in the world.

- But that won't happen, will it, Cynthia? - No.

Our 100 billion will grow several dozen-fold.

- Maybe I'll buy myself a castle. - A country would be fine...

I trust you, Cynthia.

Good night.

She transferred us the money. Dry Manhattan.

Homesick? You usually drink Scotch.

Probably her voice.

Probably.

Well, then...

Pardon me.

Thanks.

Time to settle the score...

- I'm good, if I do say so myself! - Quit saying so yourself!

Ow!

- Find it? - You sure it's in here?

I gave you the pictures.

Keep looking around, it should be on the floor.

Easier said than done! The whole place is full of tiles!

Go complain to Sundy's grandpa!

- Lupin! - You find it?

Lupin's inside! Kill him on sight!

This is the mysterious broach that turns its owners into rulers?

Yeah. Looks like you'd find it in a yard sale, though...

Nothing beats all our years together!

No horseplay inside the hospital!

- I thought you said no horseplay? - Just as long as the nurses don't see!

There's no end to them!

Lupin?

- I see. - You're not surprised he's alive?

Don't tell me the oil company you partnered with was...

That's right. Both the oil and the broach will be mine...

What did you say?

Damn, these guys are annoying!

OK! Then let's go check out some ladies!

Ooh! Nice!

- See! They had red ones! - There WERE purple ones!

Lupin!

Yahoo!

Lupin!

After them!

Where are you Fujiko?! Come save us!

Listen, Lupin! You know the 100 billion?

I moved it to another account, so we're in the clear!

Goodbye, poverty! Hello, designer brands!

- You're hopeless. - Hey! Ahead of us!

An army base?

As I said, I've confirmed that Lupin is still alive!

I was hoping you could void my resignation...

Eh? You don't need me? But I've put in years of hard work!

What?! I'm incompetent?! Hello?!

Hello?!

- Hello? - It's no use.

- The cord's cut, Pops. - So it is...

Lupin! You're under arrest!

Are you sure YOU'RE not the one under arrest?

What?

Later, Pops!

Whew! We're really lucky all of a sudden!

- You going to be a dictator? - Maybe with women!

Good luck, my ass! They got us surrounded!

Leave it to Goemon to make a perfect entrance!

Same old pattern, though.

Patterns are also a part of training!

Yet more trifling things...

...cut too much!

It all serves as training!

What's with all the dangerous stuff?

They getting' ready to start a war?

Ah! So that's why all Cynthia wanted oil...

Huh?

Geez.

So she's going to start wars in other oil-rich areas and rake in the dough.

Pretty girls ALWAYS think they can get their way...

- You have a chip on your shoulder? - Tons of them!

End of the line!

You really did it this time, Lupin! You crushed her dreams and mine!

Dreams? Ha! Of an out-of-date warmonger?

The century of war is over now.

I bet you just want power so you can impress the ladies.

- Half of that matches your dream. - Aw, shut up!

You won't talk so big once you're dead!

Careful.

You wouldn't want the stuff behind us to blow up, now...

If you want chicks, buy flowers, not those.

Flowers suit pretty girls, not bombs.

Don't!

Fujiko!

I appreciate the help, but why?

I do want money and designer brand stuff,

but a girl's grudges are even scarier!

Where's Lupin?

He is still inside.

You're not going to run?

I know I just ended your second-rate dreams,

but you can't beat me and my newfound luck!

No! There's one dream left!

Killing the world's greatest thief...

...and getting the world's greatest woman!

- Lupin! - Lupin!

Lupin!

I thought we were goners...

Guess this really does bring good luck!

I TOLD you flowers suit women better than bombs.

You can have the rest of your dream in the next world.

Unfortunately, the plan has failed.

It will take at least 6 months to reattempt.

All right. I'll mull it over back at the office.

Room 1001.

I'm sorry to ask, but could you pay your hotel bill?

Why?! You have a copy of my card!

Yes, but your card has become invalid...

How can that be?

The money in your account reached zero...

Lupin!

What did you do?

The lesson is that it's not smart to hand over checks carelessly.

Especially to someone good at forging signatures...

You were that watchmaker?

The money you sent from your company wasn't enough,

so I used plenty more, even to build that oil platform...

- That was fake, too? - Yup.

We borrowed the oil for a limited time from the next platform over.

I leaked that info onto the 'Net, so B.O.W.'s stock'll probably nose-dive.

Congratulations. You're flat broke as of this morning.

Oh...

I guess this is all I have left again...

Your lust for this was your undoing...

My father wanted it.

He was a dictator of a small country.

He was assassinated during a revolt.

Just before we could escape...

So you wanted the broach so you could follow in his footsteps?

Dictators are long out of fashion, you know.

Even this country's commander told me.

- But I could've been a financial dictator! - I see...

Last chance.

If the water spills, you lose. The winner gets the broach.

What do you say?

You're an awful man.

I've always wanted to be told that.

A dollar is nothing to scoff at.

Did Lupin check out?

Cynthia Craymov.

His Royal Highness has requested help from the Interpol.

You're under arrest on suspicion of rebellious and terrorist activities!

So? Who wound up rich?

Fujiko, I'd guess. She always runs off with the dough...

Can hardly even buy a paper thanks to her.

Goemon!

What's up, Goemon? I thought you were doing religious training?

She disappeared.

The priestess took all the alms I collected and vanished.

- So you lose, too! - How cruel...

That reminds me, Lupin. What did you do with that broach?

- It's the only treasure we got... - Gave it away.

- You gave it away? To whom?

- Lupin! Is that... - Yep. It definitely brings good luck!

She didn't need it to make it big, but a promise IS a promise...

To the broach's good fortune...

Lupin!

Help me!

- Some broad just run by? - No...

What happened?

She didn't pay up! All the way from Florida, too!

What was that about, Fujiko?

I got ripped off!

I invested the 100 billion dollars.

In stocks and then they nose-dived!

It's ALL gone!

Found you, Lupin!

Your persistence has gone up by 100 times, Pops!

Let's go!

- After them! Get them! - This way!

Get back here, Lupin!
