This has been passed down in the Genghis Khan family in Mongolia.
It's called the "Two-Headed Gold Lion."
The Two-Headed Gold Lion?
In the 12th century, Genghis Khan built a huge empire.
According to legend, before he died, he hid a treasure map...
...inside this statue. The map indicates where the Khan's buried gold lays hidden.
If the legend is true...
...and we find the hidden gold, we'll be instant millionaires.
- Not too bad.
- Lupin, it's time.
I must visit my ancestors' grave, so I cannot accompany you.
I can't wait to see your gold souvenir.
You bet!
Lupin and the gang are trying to steal something behind my back.
It's too late.
They already left for Mongolia. Forget it, Fujiko.
If Lupin is going after the gold of Genghis Khan...
...then I'll acquire something that will make Lupin's catch pale in comparison.
What on earth are you going after?
Yoshitsune Minamoto's hidden gold.
The hidden gold of Yoshitsune Minamoto?
"The Hidden Gold of Genghis Khan" (Genghis Khan no Maizoukin)
"The Genghis Khan family treasure, the Two-Headed Gold Lion.
"I'll come for it at midnight. Lupin the Third."
Damn that Lupin! He's gone too far!
He's a fool to think things will go the way he plans.
I will foil your plans and surely arrest you tonight.
Uh... Your Excellency. Excuse me.
- I've got the key somewhere.
- You... Zenigata.
It will soon be midnight, the promised time.
- The police have this place well guarded. - Ah, I got it.
Is Lupin really going to show up?
Well, I'm not really sure...
Oh, yes, yes. Lupin will show up for sure!
Almost done...
Well, he might have already snuck into the castle.
There we go!
Lupin is that kind of guy.
If that's the case, then where is he?
As the saying goes, "Haste makes waste."
Your Excellency, don't be so hasty.
He's trapped like a rat in a sack.
I'm not so sure about that.
I will check on the Gold Lion inside the safe one more time.
Huh?
"Don't say a word. Lupin The Third"
See? It's there, isn't it?
Your Excellency, we'd better close the safe.
Please leave everything to me and get some rest.
Well then, Zenigata, please take care of the rest.
Yes, sir! For sure, I will send him to an iron cage shortly.
Good.
- Whoa, whoa...
- Huh?
Your Excellency, you can't go through that door.
Remember, that's the special door for arresting Lupin.
Oh, that's right. Well, excuse me.
Well then, I'll use this door.
All right then. Take care.
Pops was deceived, as always, by Lupin.
Lupin. This time I've finally won!
Damn!
Lupin, I knew all about your plan.
Sending you to the iron cage for good has been...
...my life-long obsession, which has finally come to fulfillment!
This is my best day as a policeman.
Let's go! Straight to the Mongolian jail!
Damn! I've been framed.
Goemon Ishikawa's Ancestors' Grave
It's strange that your ancestors' grave is in Hiraizumi.
So, Fujiko. You're saying that Yoshitsune's gold is...
...also hidden here in Hiraizumi?
According to legend...
...Yoshitsune hid the gold somewhere in Ryujin Pond.
Goemon, if you don't believe me, that's fine.
The gold will be all mine.
So, Lupin, how's the ride? Exceptionally comfortable, eh?
Exceptionally?
Lupin, how are you gonna get out of there?
Well, you'll see.
Hey, Pops.
What?
As my last request, could you give me a light for my cigarette?
Hmm... Here.
Thanks. Hey, Pops. What if this isn't a cigarette...
...but a fuse for some plastic explosives? What would you do?
What?
There is one other thing you should know:
Somewhere inside this Two-Headed Gold Lion...
...is Genghis Khan's map indicating the secret location of his buried gold.
You bastard!
- Whoa! - Whoa!
- Hey, is Pops OK?
- He's just fine, just fine.
Lu-Lu-Lupin! Wait!
See?
Let's go!
Wait... Wait!!
We can't wait!
Wait, wait!
Wait, Lupin!
- Here he comes!
- Let's get outta here!
Wait!
Don't! Stop it! Lupin!
Lupin!
You! Lupin!
I won't forgive him for insulting the Genghis Khan family!
This is strange.
Where on earth is the map to the buried gold hidden?
Hold the lion's eyes up to the moonlight and look.
Hmm.
Hmm! I see it! It's the map to the hidden gold!
- Where is the location?
- It's Japan.
Japan?
I see. Looks like it's in Hiraizumi, in Iwate Prefecture.
Hiraizumi... Isn't that where Yoshitsune Minamoto died?
But why would Genghis Khan hide his gold in such a place?
Hey, Fujiko.
You've searched the pond thoroughly, and come up with nothing.
Maybe Yoshitsune's hidden gold is just a myth.
But it's too early to give up.
I'll search one more time tomorrow.
Hmm? What a solemn flute.
But this late at night?
Gh-ghost!
Who are you?
Wait!
Hmm? Lupin, turn around! Isn't that that descendant of Genghis Khan's?
Lupin!
The Genghis Khan family built this to conquer the world.
Now feel the wrath of this special weapon!
- The fuel tank's hit!
- What?
Lupin, just where are we landing?
Just look down!
Isn't that Khabarovsk Airport?
Hey, where are we going, Lupin?
We're getting on the airplane!
Getting on? With no pilot, how are we supposed to fly?
Cessna or Boeing, they've both got wings, it shouldn't be harder to fly one than the other.
Lupin, are you out of your mind?
Hmm? Hijack!
She certainly disappeared into this five-story pagoda.
I, Goemon, will reveal the true identity of the ghost!
Ah! This is...
Na-mu-a-mi-da-bu-tsu... Na-mu-a-mi-da-bu-tsu...
So, have you seen the female ghost, too?
What on earth is this five-story pagoda?
This is the temple built to comfort Lady Shizuka.
Lady Shizuka?
It was 700 years ago...
After escaping to Hiraizumi, Yoshitsune Minamoto...
...buried the war gold at the bottom of Ryujin Pond...
...and gave Lady Shizuka a flute upon parting.
Shizuka, think of me when you play this flute.
Some day, I will come back to you.
Until my return, protect the gold beneath Ryujin Pond.
Deer Yoshitsune...
Shizuka...
After that, Yoshitsune left Hiraizumi first for Hokkaido...
...then traveled across the ocean to Mongolia...
...and as the legend goes, became Genghis Khan.
Then the ghost was Lady Shizuka, wasn't it?
Even after hundreds of years...
...she still believes Yoshitsune's promise of returning some day...
...and each night plays her flute in the same melancholic way.
Na-mu-a-mi-da-bu-tsu... Na-mu-a-mi-da-bu-tsu...
Hmm...
Lupin, we'll be over Hiraizumi soon.
What are you gonna do? Land at Sendai Airport?
Nope. We'll land in Hiraizumi.
Hiraizumi? Hey, there's no airport in Hiraizumi!
Sure there is. Look.
What?
No way, Lupin. On that small highway?
That's right!
Hey!
- Hey, Lupin! Brake! Brake!
- B-brake? Which one is it?
What was that?
On the far side of the woods.
Lupin, according to this map here...
...the hidden gold of Genghis Khan is...
...buried in a pond called "Ryujin Pond."
Ryujin Pond...
Whoa! That was close!
It's you, Jigen!
- What?
- Goemon!
Lupin, what's going on?
Fujiko dear!
Goemon, didn't you leave to visit your ancestors' grave?
Their grave is actually here in Hiraizumi.
More importantly, Lupin, you left for Mongolia to get...
...the hidden gold of Genghis Khan. Why are you here?
I got it. I bet you couldn't find it...
...so you're here for Yoshitsune's hidden gold!
Yoshitsune? Say what?
We came all the way from Mongolia following a map...
...to find Genghis Khan's hidden gold. Right, Jigen?
Yeah. That's right.
Wait, Lupin.
Looks like we are all looking for the same gold.
What do you mean?
The legend says that Yoshitsune didn't die here...
...but from Hokkaido moved on to Mongolia across the ocean...
...and became Genghis Khan.
If that's true, then...
- What the hell! - What the hell!
Then you found the hidden gold?
No, not at all.
I searched the pond thoroughly, but found nothing.
Maybe somebody has already found and moved it.
Wait a minute!
Do you know who?
Hmm...
I had no idea that my ancestor had hidden that much gold here.
I'll never let a thief like Lupin take it.
Wow... She really showed up.
It's too bad I'm not Yoshitsune, Lady Shizuka.
Monk, as I thought, you took the gold from the pond and hid it elsewhere.
You pretended to be Lady Shizuka's ghost...
...and tried to keep people away from the five-story pagoda.
Now we know the truth.
Well, then, I guess we'll take the hidden gold now.
I doubt you punks could do such a thing.
Shut up!
You'll see. I always get whatever I'm after.
You'll see!
Here. The gold should be inside this five-story pagoda.
Die, Lupin!
I will send anyone after my gold to hell!
Let's go, Goemon.
- What? - What?
He disappeared through here.
- Look.
- An underground staircase.
I see. The hidden gold is asleep underground.
Geez! It goes on and on.
Yoshitsune's gold must lay buried up ahead.
Jigen, what time is it now?
Huh? It's nine in the morning.
We've been walking in this tunnel for five hours.
Well. It's a dead end.
No, no. It goes up!
That damn monk! Look what we've done!
Awesome! It's the real hidden gold!
Now we're millionaires! Isn't that just wonderful!
Hey, Jigen... Ouch!
It was worth the long travel to Mongolia and all the hassle.
That's for sure!
This is mine. And mine, too... And this... and this...
Hmph!
Here's another door. Maybe more hidden gold is sleeping!
What, what, what?
He tricked us!
That bastard monk hid it all in a bank.
Bank robbery!
Where are the bank robbers?
Bank robbers!
You, Lupin!
Po-Pops!!
You bastard, Lupin! Today's the day I will arrest you!
Let's run!
Wait!
Lupin!
Give it back! Give me back my gold!
Lupin, wait!
- Give my gold back!
- Lupin, wait!
Give my gold back!
Lupin, wait!
Pops gets dismissed from the Lupin assignment.
His replacement is, oh, my goodness, Fujiko!
And she ends up arresting me!
But there's a reason behind it...
