Cornelia, step aside!
Cornelia...
Hmm?
This is...
Hmm! What?
"The Lupin I Loved - Part One" (Watashi ga Aishita Lupin - Zenpen)
Of all the constellations that decorate the winter night sky...
...the one that shines most beautifully is Orion.
The mythical Orion was a giant born out of the earth...
...a great hunter, and an unconventional man.
If only Fujiko dear was with me, this would made for a romantic date.
Isn't it about time to begin?
The astronomy event is just for show.
In truth, this is an auction of smuggled artwork.
We now proceed to the second part of tonight's event...
"The Night to Enjoy the Stars"
Please open your brochures.
Entry Number 1: The Golden Statue of Maria.
It originates from the Renaissance Era.
To remove it from Italy is prohibited.
The Italian government has declared it a national treasure.
If they're starting with such a grand piece, the rumor must be true.
I, Lupin, will take all the artwork on exhibit tonight.
We've received information that smuggled art pieces are being sold...
...by a major smuggling organization here in Florida.
The places we especially need to keep an eye on are...
Inspector Zenigata, phone call for you.
It's from a young lady...
Hmm? What?
Oh, is it?
Lately I've been surrounded female fans, even abroad.
Hello. This is Zenigata speaking. Go ahead.
Listen carefully. On the top floor of the Pantheon Hotel...
...at "The Night to Enjoy the Stars" event, Lupin awaits.
What? Is that true? OK, but wait. Who are you?
Lupin, go ahead and enjoy the starry sky to the fullest.
I'll take care of tonight's target.
Surround Hotel Pantheon right away.
Send every man available!
Yes, sir!
Tonight is the night I choke the life out of Lupin.
The ceramic pieces from ancient China go to #72.
Sold to Mr. Bill Ostland for $1.2 million.
Our staff will escort you later on, so please remain seated.
Next, Entry Number 13.
Hmm. Jigen, it's about time for the target to appear.
Are you ready?
So far, there has been no sign of such a package being brought in.
I'm ready any time.
What's up, Jigen?
Uh, what a bad omen. A large hearse has appeared.
A hearse?
Jigen, that's the target. Let's begin.
This is a message to the audience.
The smuggled art auction has now come to an end.
I, Lupin the Third, will take all the items on the exhibit tonight.
Lupin the Third!
What will happen to the item that I purchased?
If you don't keep quiet, you'll end up in the casket.
Through the hole over there. Now, hurry up.
Goemon, strike them with the back of your sword.
Sure.
We did it!
Hey! Goemon, gimme a hand! What are you doing over there?
An ominous shadow is dwelling in the sword.
You idiot! No time for vanity!
We've got to hurry! They're coming!
But...
Hey, Goemon. Please! I can't... Oh, no!
All right.
Here we go!
Aye-yi-yi...
Well then...
Shall we treat ourselves to a drive in a hearse?
For some reason, I don't feel up to it.
- If that's the case, don't.
- Whoa!
Fujiko!
Lupin, I'm sorry, but I'm taking this.
Th-that's not fair, Fujiko!
There is a more suitable car waiting for you, Lupin.
Lupin! I invite you to a "Night to Enjoy the Prison."
We've got the hotel completely surrounded. Give it up!
A-again! It's Pops! He's got us!
I warned you...
Goemon, let's go to the rooftop! Rooftop!
Hmph! They're idiots! It's quicker by elevator.
OK, let's go!
Ruining my important event! Those idiots!
Awaken, my faithful, sleeping emissaries.
To those fools who oppose me...
...a kiss of death...
...is given...
It went smoothly.
Oh. Thank you.
Huh?
We made it to the roof, Lupin. What do we do now?
- Huh? - Hmm?
You are the ones who interrupted my auction, aren't you?
You must be the hostess of tonight's smuggled goods auction.
- Hmm? - What's wrong, Lupin?
Lupin!
Cornelia...
How do you know my name?
I knew it. Cornelia, you must remember my face.
My name is Lupin the Third.
Lupin...
Lupin the Third.
Long ago, in the distant past...
You must remember me.
Cornelia!
Don't get close! I don't understand!
Cornelia!
Cornelia...
Is she a ghost?
Or...
What did you say?
So you're saying that Cornelia should be dead?
It's a strange story.
Hmm...
When I met Cornelia...
How many years has it been?
Have you ever heard the name "Doctor Zel"?
He's a former officer of Schutzstaffel, a mad scientist...
...known for conducting countless human experiments, in which many have died.
After the defeat of Nazi Germany, he went into hiding.
Along with the numerous art pieces he had collected...
...he took refuge in Venezuela, South America.
So naturally you, Lupin...
...planned to just sneak in and steal his art collection.
And that's when I met Zel's only daughter, Cornelia.
Cornelia...
Instantly... she fell for me.
Hmph. I wonder who fell for whom!
You idiot!
I was young back then. I looked much cooler than now.
But you were a pervert just the same.
What?
Your weakness for women hasn't changed.
It was a beautiful graveyard deep in the mountains.
However...
It also served as Dr. Zel's secret research center.
He dreamed of the revival of the Nazis.
To fund the revival they came up with a plan...
...to smuggle and sell art pieces and rough diamonds.
Zel's secret research, the experiments on humans, also continued.
One unable to endorse of such a plan, such a father...
...was Cornelia.
And one day, Cornelia and I escaped...
...fleeing hand in hand from Dr. Zel's secret research center.
You said something nice and lured her out, didn't you?
Jigen! Shut up and listen to my story till the end!
Cornelia, step away from Lupin!
No!
Cornelia, step away!
Cornelia!
Cornelia protected me.
She got hit by her father's bullet and died, or so I thought.
Then why...
Lupin, are you going to Venezuela?
Yeah. I want to see Cornelia's grave with my own eyes.
Leave the remaining business up to me.
Lupin...
A long time ago, I might have heard of...
Sergio, please tell me! Who is the man named Lupin?
He knew me... And I, too, must have...
But when I try to recall the man...
...my head hurts as if it's about to split.
That's because...
...your mind is trying to forget the disgusting memory of him.
Disgusting memory?
What could that be?
Th-that is...
I can't say, but...
Cornelia.
Father, please tell me.
Who is Lupin? What happened between us?
Do you want to know, Cornelia?
Yes.
Lupin the Third. It's the name of a hideous thief...
...who once infiltrated my research center.
Once I revealed his true identity, he ran away like a rat.
And of all things, he took you, Cornelia, as a hostage.
- Father!
- Then...
Then when he was cornered...
...what Lupin did was...
What he did was...
- Father!
- He shot you to death!
Do you understand now, Cornelia?
That's the true identity of Lupin the Third.
In order to carry out revenge against the hateful Lupin...
...Cornelia, you returned from the land of the Dead.
Cornelia, kill Lupin the Third.
All the dead are your allies.
Wake up the dead!
Send Lupin the Third to the World of Death!
It's around there.
Is Lupin looking for Cornelia?
Yeah. He could be digging up her grave right now.
He said he'd check it out himself.
How could he even do such a thing? I wouldn't have it in me.
Hmm. I feel an ominous premonition.
There it is!
If that one's not Cornelia...
...then the real Cornelia should be resting in peace here.
Huh?
This is...
This isn't how it was back then.
Definitely, once...
Not there!
Cornelia!
That's the building.
You... are going inside?
We can't turn back now, can we?
Jigen, what happened?
Does this hurt?
Yes, unfortunately.
This is not a dream...
It's really the dead rising from their graves.
Damn! I'm sure there's some trick to this.
Jigen!
I'm all right. It's a weird flame.
It didn't burn me at all.
But while the flames cover you, you can't breathe.
Looks like...
We can't go easy on them!
What the hell...
I'm surprised they went down that easily.
No. Looks like that may not be the case.
Goemon, you!
You tried to be cool and struck with the back of the sword, right?
Or, did you shoot without bullets?
Look! There is not a single drop of blood!
Hmm. Then, it means these guys are...
Ghosts...
Wait, Jigen! Where are you going?
Don't make me hurt my pride by answering!
- Are we running away?
- What else can we do?
Those voices just now were definitely Jigen and Goemon.
Lupin, please come rescue me soon.
If you want to save that woman, just come and get her.
And that'll be the end of Lupin!
I was headed to the vast graveyard to rescue Fujiko.
But the once dead Cornelia is actually alive.
I have to figure out her secret.
Then I encounter something truly extraordinary...
