This is the Museum of Ancient History, Egypt is proud to show it to the world.
These art pieces are from the Old Kingdom Era around 3,000 years ago.
It was the dream of ancient Egyptians to cross the Nile River on a boat...
...and live on the West side after their death.
Because of this, they mummified dead bodies and...
...placed gold and treasures in the grave for them to use after they crossed over.
All ancient Egyptian arts are from the tombs.
No wonder the grave robbers never disappear.
I can feel the spiritual energy hanging over everywhere.
Swish, swish, swish...
Here is the room where Tutankhamen's burial accessories are displayed.
It is considered the greatest discovery of the century.
So...
...this is the golden mask of Tutankhamen.
- How is it? Do you like it? - MMmmm...!
As we see, the security at the museum is more strict than we anticipated.
In addition to the guards,
...a security laser beam is engaged for each entrance at night.
So, sneaking in is not exactly an easy job.
The web of security lasers are all over the museum.
Then, even if we successfully sneak in, we can't get anywhere near the showcase.
But, there is one blind spot!
This showcase is not bolted to the floor.
Now, talking about our plan...
Hey, are you listening, Goemon?
- Well, yes and no. - Hey, what do you mean by that?
Hey, Jigen! Stop using the water pipe and listen to me seriously!
But, this is pretty good!
- Are you guys in this or not? - That's right.
You guys have been acting funny.
We haven't come all the way to Egypt just to hang out!
Then, let me say something.
- Can you see this? - What... what? What is it?
The dull shadow on this sword.
The shadow of death!
It's an omen before something ominous happens.
Huh! Whatever! It's so stupid.
So, what's wrong with you, Jigen?
Me? My athlete's foot is too itchy.
Do you think it's a good enough excuse?
Don't make light of my athlete's feet.
When it itches like this, something bad always happens.
The first time the police caught me, it was the same way.
Uh! I never imagined you guys would be such wimps! All right.
Lupin, let's get the job done just by ourselves!
Good idea!
Are you guys really stepping down?
That golden mask possesses more than its own beauty!
Lupin! Let me give you a word of warning.
"With swift wings, death will jump at those who touch the grave of Pharaoh."
Huh?
It's a phrase carved on a pot found in the grave of Tutankhamen.
Take care, Lupin. "Insh'Allah." May God have mercy on you.
What are you talking about? You, chicken!
- Fujiko do you believe him? - Not at all.
Way to go, Fujiko dear.
With its swift wings, I jump... Oops! I couldn't get you...
It's almost time the device that I set up during the day starts operating.
No one would have guessed that we would come to steal from above.
What?
Oh, no!
Heave Ho! Heave Ho!
Good. Go ahead, Fujiko!
O.K.
Hey! Don't lift up so quickly!
Though I wouldn't mind dying with you.
Lupin!
It's Lupin! I'm positive. Lupin did it!
That bastard already went to Egypt.
No wonder I couldn't find him in Israel.
Damn!
I wonder what I did wrong.
What time is the direct flight to Egypt?
There are no direct flights to Egypt.
Oh, don't say that! There has to be at least one.
This is an Israeli airport. What makes you think there is a flight to an Arab country?
Don't you care if Lupin gets away? If there's no flight, get one ready!
Help! It's the Japanese Red Army!
- What are you doing? Are you the one? - No. I'm not Red Army. Stop!
We need to arrest Lupin!
Cheers!
Good-looking, isn't it?
My buddy, Jigen. My buddy, Goemon!
Why don't you worship this golden mask, instead of looking so gloomy.
True. 3,000 years of history behind it. I'm falling in love with Tutankhamen!
Don't you think he looks like me?
How is it? Does it look good on me?
Hey, don't get carried away, Lupin.
If you toy around with an art piece like that, you might pay dearly for it.
That's all the more reason why I do it. Playing with 3,000 years of history...
It's the ultimate luxury. Now I can hear the background music.
What?
- Do you hear anything, Goemon? - No... Nothing.
The music sounds familiar. It feels like I heard it a long time ago.
Don't be silly. I can't hear any music.
Uh!
Hey!
Ahhh!
Hey, Lupin!
Whoa!
He seems to be possessed by something.
Could it be the curse of Pharaoh?
The curse of Pharaoh?
Read this.
"The curse of Pharaoh. Strange deaths among the excavators of his grave."
In 1922, a British archaeologist, Howard Carter, discovered...
...Tutankhamen's grave in the "Valley of the Royal Family." Soon after that,
...Lord Carnavon, a financial supporter of the excavation, died mysteriously.
After that, two experts of Egyptian art, who visited the grave, died suddenly.
Howard Carter himself, died from unknown causes in 1923, shouting...
"It's all over. I hear the calling."
Even after that, twenty professionals in various fields, who cooperated...
...in the Tutankhamen research, died from unknown causes.
Uh! Nothing but superstition!
Even when you see Lupin like that?
It's a curse.
If Lupin is possessed by Pharaoh's curse, what can we do?
I would imagine you could do nothing but to return that golden mask to the museum.
That mask is too dangerous for a single person to possess,
...even for Lupin.
Don't tell me that!
We worked so hard to get hold of it!
Hey! Don't you care what happens to Lupin?
Besides, Lupin wouldn't approve of it!
Even now, while he's sleeping, he has a tight grip on it.
The shadow of death is getting darker.
Hey, Lupin!
All right. Chase him! He can't be too far away.
Unless we find him quickly, something grave will happen!
I'm positive.
That's Lupin.
By the way, I can't believe he has climbed so high up.
You never know what a cursed man can do.
This is not the time to be impressed. We need to hurry up and take Lupin home.
But how?
Um...
Lupin! Come down, please!
I am the King!
Awakened from 3,000 years of sleep,
I have come back to life. I am the King!
This is pretty serious stuff.
I can tell that something bad will happen.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up. Go faster!
Lupin! Get down! I'll arrest you!
If you don't come down, I'll come get you!
Great Kings, spirits of ancestors! Save me!
I beg of you to save this roaming soul!
Roaming soul? I'll catch you so that you won't roam around ever again!
If we don't do anything, he'll get caught for sure.
There is nothing we can do. We are completely surrounded.
- Is everything in God's will? - "Insh'Allah."
Lupin! Have you given up at last?
I wish to return to my resting place, the Valley of the Royal Family. Pharaoh!
Huh?
It's the Spirit of Pharaoh!
Impossible! This is why I don't like cartoons!
It's not real. Look carefully!
You won't be able to deceive my eyes. Wait, Lupin!
Oh, no!
Fujiko!
Don't let them slip away!
Wait, Lupin!
The sun sets and the sun rises again.
It's been repeated for thousands and thousands of years.
Compared to that, a man's life is so ephemeral.
How is Lupin?
When he realized we're heading for the Valley of the Royal Family,
...he looked relieved and fell asleep.
Fujiko, what is it?
The Mask of Tutankhamen. Please return it to the museum.
I've never seen Lupin like that.
Clinging to my arms as if he were a newborn baby. Such a fragile Lupin!
- You care about Lupin, after all. - Don't misunderstand me!
I just want Lupin to go back to being who he was.
The greatest thief of the century, Lupin the Third!
Us too!
Go return such a god of plague!
Sure! Take care of Lupin for us!
My mask is missing! Where did you put it?
Lupin! Please, please be quiet. Not much longer. Please be patient.
I need to keep him quiet somehow.
Excuse me. Do you have some sleeping pills?
Fujiko Mine!
Zenigata!
At last I found you! So, where is Lupin?
Bad timing! Least desirable man!
- Please let us go. Just this time! - Shut up! You're not gonna trick me!
The Tutankhamen's curse? Do you think you can fool me with such a thing?
Lupin!
Lupin! Where are you? There is no use hiding! Come out!
- Huh! Lupin's missing! - He must have escaped!
Damn! You used excuses like the curse and other bogus stuff to gain time for escape!
I'm not lying! Look!
This is...
Lupin pulled his hands forcefully through the handcuffs. It's his blood.
He usually takes handcuffs off as if he's taking gloves off.
Well, that's true. Then, where is Lupin now?
He must be in the Valley of the Royal Family!
Good! Thanks, Fujiko.
Whether Lupin is cursed or not, l, Zenigata, will arrest him for sure!
Bastard! Wherever he hides himself, I'll find him and catch him.
Even in the fire or a grave...
It was quite a task. It's almost dawn. I hope this will undo the curse on Lupin.
The shadow of death disappeared!
LUPIN
- Don't... Lupin... Stop it... - Tickle, tickle... Tickle, tickle...
Uh... Lupin?
Are you awake, Fujiko dear?
- Lupin! - Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
The Valley of the Royal Family.
I feel as if I woke up from a 3,000-year old dream.
Very long dream, wasn't it?
Shall we go, Fujiko?
I can hear the calling. It's calling me. It's calling me.
The spirit of Tutankhamen is calling.
No. It's Lupin who is calling me.
Lupin!
- Princess, how do you feel? - Quite refreshed.
- Then, are we not there yet? - We already passed it earlier.
I'm embarrassed. I didn't even notice.
Don't worry about anything unimportant. Just live long, please.
Trans-European Super Express.
On board is a mafia head, Martino, with paintings and jewelry he stole.
My robbery plan is absolutely perfect.
But, as always, Zenigata butts in. It's really annoying! Next Episode:
"Venetian Super Express" (Disorient Express) See ya!
