*Paris Police Headqaurters*
Entrez. (Enter.)
Superintendent-General, I am Zenigata from Japan.
I have arrived.
Is it true that Lupin is hiding in a suburb of Paris?
Ah, oui. (Yes.)
Thank goodness! I am on my way to arrest him.
- No arresting. - What?
I heard he is a grandson of Arsene Lupin...
...the most intelligent and charming thief...
...France has ever produced.
Well, yes, but...
It is absolutely outrageous...
...that Japanese police...
...are trying to arrest such a national treasure.
It is against the United Nations Charter!
Huh?
The President said so on the phone.
Impossible!
You are unaware of what's happening in our country.
He is now quite popular.
It's now a popularity contest between Alain Delon and Lupin the Third.
For God's sake!
Because of that...
...I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave now.
Thanks for your hard work.
Well...
Damn it!
This should at least bring Pops to his senses.
Mentioning the President was going a little far, don't you think?
Lu.......
Damn! This is too much! Too much!
Don't they know the consequences of leaving that devil alone?
That monkey-faced womanizer!
No matter what the President says...
...I may have to violate the UN Charter.
That's right.
There is only one thing I should do!
Catch him!
Like this!
Oops! Damn!
Damn. What?
Damn it! What?
Damn!
Fujiko Mine! With Alain Delon no less!
No... Devil!
It's Lupin!
Wait!
Stop! Stop the car and get out!
Hey! What are you doing?
Lupin!
Damn!
Stop!
Stop! Freeze! Get out of the car!
Stop!
Stop the car and get out!
"A Witch in the Fourth Dimension" (Daiyojigen No Majo)
It can't be...
Fujiko's dating Alain Delon? Gotta be just a rumor.
- One more move and you lose. - What?
Oh, I see.
10 seconds, 9 seconds...
8, 7...
6...
- 5...
- Wait! Wait a second.
Got it! Here.
You lost.
I'm telling you...
...this knight doesn't go here, but here.
Please!
No take-backs.
I'm begging you.
Beahhh!
All right. What the hell!
You look like a monster jellyfiiiiiiiiiish!
- Let go. - Stop it. Just because you lost...
...doesn't mean you can resort to violence.
Hey! Damn! You monster jellyfish UFO!
Are you giving in?
Another machine reduced scrap metal, Lupin?
You haven't seen Fujiko for a while...
...so you're throwing a tantrum.
It's annoying!
- Hello, everybody. How are you? - Huh?
This is Fujiko. Is Lupin there?
Hold on a second.
Goemon.
I don't know what to do.
- The woman? - Yeah.
Just hearing her voice, he'll jump out the window.
Yahoo!
See?
What?
Pops, you look terrible.
Stop! Stop the car and get out!
Stop! Stop this instant!
Stop and get out of the car.
Stop and...
You know where the long, boot-shaped country is, don't you?
At the tip of the boot...
...there is a tiny town called "Ledgeo."
35 Ministlone Street, Ledgeo.
At the tip of the boot, right?
Listen. I am not alone.
I'm with a friend.
He says there are some test he wants you to take.
- Tests? - Yes.
If I pass them, then no matter what...
...you and I will go on a honeymoon...
...to the moon, right?
What if I don't pass?
I'm sorry, but then you will die.
All right.understood.
Use your guns, use your arrows! It doesn't matter!
Here he comes!
No sweat! Bullet-proof glass and body!
No problem, unless you use a bazooka.
Oh, no! I was just kidding!
- We got him! - We got him!
No way.
You baaaaaaastards!
Fujiko, dear.
You've come, Lupin.
I sure have!
Such tests are a piece of cake.
Well, it's a promise. Smooch!
Huh? What?
Oh, no! Whoa!
My hand goes through you.
Fujiko!
What? What? What?
That was just a hologram. I am Bujiko Mine.
Bujiko... Mine?
That's right. Fujiko's aunt!
You must be lying.
Why is that?
A relative of such a beauty can't be this ug...
Shut up!
Thousands of men have lost their lives...
...by finishing that sentence.
That's all right. It's between you and me.
But as Fujiko gets older...
...she'll get bigger, just like me.
It's in our genes.
I like you, by the way. You've done very well.
Where is the real, beautiful Fujiko?
My, aren't you rude!
But didn't I pass your test?
I was testing the water.
Even a kid would get a second or third test...
If you wanted my help, you should have just asked.
It's unforgivable to use Fujiko as a bait...
...even if you are her relative!
Watch your mouth!
What?
I believe that the way to acquire Rommel's treasure is right here.
Rommel?
What? What's wrong?
You suddenly went all quiet.
Tutankhamen's Curse.
What is it? My goodness. This kid is actually frightened.
Now listen.
The treasure is said to be worth $100 million.
Let's split it between us!
I never imagined...
- All right? - Sorry. Let me go!
- You must be kidding! - You're not going anywhere!
Are you in, Lupin?
I'm definitely out!
What? What?
Don't be so stubborn.
$100 million isn't too bad.
But, but, very unpleasant things are drawn...
...on that piece of paper.
What are they?
Eagles, fish and snakes!
35 years ago, the deserts of northern Africa served as battlefields.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces was Montgomery.
Commanding the African Corp was "The Desert Fox"...
...Marshal Rommel.
That is him.
What a handsome guy!
It seems that after the defeat at El Alamein...
...Rommel buried gold bars...
...worth $100 million somewhere out in the desert.
Rommel's staff left a message written in ancient hieroglyphs...
...telling where the treasure was hidden.
So, this is the message.
Then why don't I decode it?
- I'm counting on you, Lupin. - Fujiko! Do something!
Unbelievable.
I wonder why he's following that ug...
- Ugly lady's directions? - Yeah.
Fujiko has come to check your progress.
Are you done?
This test seems pretty difficult...
I'll stay by your side for motivation.
That makes me happy!
You're too irresistible!
Transparent again!
I don't like this at all!
To hell with this!
If you're not done by tomorrow...
...those guys will dispose of you.
Don't go, Fujiko!
Hey! If you want to go out with Fujiko...
...hurry up and finish your work!
Let's see... Drudge, drudge, drudge.
Lupin.
They say that they can't wait any longer.
"Time's up," they say.
To hell with Fujiko! I am a man.
My goodness.
Fujiko, Fuji...
First, Mount Fuji. Second, the hawk.
Third, the eggplant.
I've got it! Yahoo!
All women are destined to end up like that.
Hey, Lupin. Take my advice, and give up Fujiko.
So, what's written in the snake-n-fish letter?
The sea hawk is grabbing the tail of the big sphinx.
What? The sea hawk is grabbing the tail of the big sphinx?
What does that mean?
Once you realize "a hawk of the sea"...
...refers to the Maltese Falcon, the rest is easy.
Y'know, the Maltese Falcon...
...the golden statue in the old film noir movie of the same name.
The Island of Malta was a British logistics base during the war.
U-boats were using "Falcon" as a code for the underwater ruins around the island
For Rommel, the sea hawk meant only this.
So, what does that mean?
When a dog's nose points to the west, its tail points to the east. Right, old lady?
Now I get it.
I owe you my thanks.
Go ahead, guys!
What?
What do you think you're doing?
I'll spare your lives. Now, get off the boat!
Damn! You betrayed us!
You have a dirty mouth.
As a gangster, you should say something more witty, like...
"Thank you very much," or, "I learned my lesson."
Don't! For now, let's do what she says.
- No way! - No way!
How come?
I don't like this woman.
You...
...Hag!
Hag the size of a tank!
Well, I've finally said it.
Dummy! It's risky to say that.
It's all right. It's all right. I'll keep it between us.
Jump off on the count of three, or we'll turn you into a beehive.
One!
Two!
Hag! Fat! Hag tank!
Flabby fatso!
Damn! Fire! Fire!
Ms. Bujiko, stay safe!
I won't forget this!
The Maltese Falcon is biting the tail of the Sphinx in El Giza.
That's near where the Devil's Garden is.
Devil's Garden?
At the battlefield of El Alamein.
I wonder if it was Rommel who named the minefield "Devil's Garden"?
There!
We've found them!
Hey, you're late.
Bujiko Mine.
You finally dug them out for me.
Yeah.
There it is, as you can see.
Ok, then. I'll be taking them now.
Hey, guys! Hurry up and get the treasure!
Oh, no. Don't run so fast!
The remains of Rommel's trench runs deep.
The bottom is crawling with scorpions.
I, I was...
It was a nice game.
The test is now over.
Let's divide it equally into quarters.
Quarters?
- Yes, that's fine. - No objection.
Here.
How about you, Fujiko dear?
Fine with me.
Then the case is closed.
With that traditional outfit,
Nezumi Kozo the 4th took Goemon onto his team,
and challenged me to a competition of thievery.
He has some grudge against my grandfather!
I don't know such old stories!
