So you're set on fighting me, Jigen?
Yeah. Today is the day. I can't take it anymore.
I'm ready anytime!
I never lose a quick draw!
Stop your stupid fighting over a TV channel!
On today's episode of "Housewife's Theater"...
the couple in love is finally gonna get separated.
I have to watch it no matter what!
I was looking forward to watching today's Spaghetti Western, too.
I can't give up.
look, you idiot. The TV is broken!
It's your fault!
Hmm? Hey, look!
Huh?
Fujiko!
Lupin, help me!
What the hell?!
Lupin the Third!
Fujiko is in our hands.
If you want to save her life...
bring the ruby of the Royal Family of India that you took the other day...
and come to my Wester Island.
If you don't come, Fujiko will lose her life.
Who the hell are you?
Phantoma Mark III.
"The Crazy Phantoma, Mark III" (Kyoki no Phantoma, Mark III)
I don't care if he is Phantoma or Cantama.
If you ask me, he's just a rat in a ditch.
You shouldn't take him lightly.
Do you know about the unidentifiable monster, Phantoma...
who once terrified all of Europe?
Phantoma Mark III is his grandson.
He is rumored to be plotting some outrageous crime scheme.
Fujiko is not the kind of woman worth saving by risking your life.
Love is something you do and expect nothing in return.
But I guess you guys have no idea what I mean.
But you aren't gonna give up the ruby for nothing, are you?
No way!
It's the world's largest ruby that we went to great pains to steal.
I can't just hand it over so easily.
Gentlemen! My plan is now 90% complete.
All we have left to do is load the large ruby made in Punjab...
which Lupin now has, into the laser beam generation circuit.
This ruby has an unprecedented refractive index.
It generates a laser beam...
a million times more powerful than normal.
If we melt the ice of Antarctica with this beam...
and raise the current sea-level by 200 meters...
tsunamis will sink the major cities of the world...
to the bottom of the ocean, causing chaos world-wide.
The day when our Phantoma Empire conquers the world is near!
Hurrah for Phantoma Empire! Hurrah!
There you are, Lupin!
Hey, look! There's an island over there!
So that's it.
What on earth is going on?
All the gauges are going out of control!
There must be aerial defense barriers.
The airplane will blow up if we go closer to the island.
Then you can just let me out right here.
See ya!
Wait, Lupin!
Pops! When did you?
Wherever you go...
even if it's the end of the earth or the bottom of the ocean...
I will follow you and never let you get away!
Pops, have fun by yourself!
Hey, help me, Lupin!
I see. So this is Wester Island.
Just as I heard, there isn't much to see here.
So, how far are we going?
Don't tell me you were ordered to give me a tour of the entire island.
Shut up! Just come with us quietly!
Oh, my, you've got a submarine.
Are you starting a war or something?
Go!
You invited me over, but you won't even serve me a cup of tea?
The big boss is here?
Welcome, Mr. Lupin.
Do you expect me to say something like, "I'm honored to be invited?"
I've heard a lot about you.
You've been quite successful, I hear.
It's all thanks to my fans, right?
I could care less about a rat like you, no matter how annoying you've been.
But you went a little too far this time.
You took the ruby of the Royal Family of India...
which I had planned to take.
From now on, I'll check everything to see if your name is on it.
That's the spirit. Well, then, why don't I take the ruby?
What about Fujiko?
I'll show her to you now.
Get ready for the launch!
Take a close look at the tip of the rocket.
Th-That's...
That's right. That's Fujiko Mine.
What on earth are you gonna do with her?
If you hand the ruby over to me now, I'll return her to you.
But if you refuse...
We're ready for launch.
The countdown will begin.
Two minutes until launch.
Fujiko will turn into an unreachable cosmic stardust.
Help me, Lupin!
55, 54, 53, 52...
What are you gonna do, Mr. Lupin?
50, 49, 48, 47, 46...
All right. All right. I'll give you the ruby.
- 45, 44, 43, 42...
- Here you go, take it.
I like giving women presents...
but I wouldn't give even a penny to a villain like you.
Now give them the order to stop launching the rocket!
I guess you don't get it, Mr. Lupin.
What?
That is just my dummy.
Wh-what did you say?
The real me is over here!
Damn!
You tricked me!
It's no use fighting me.
Now why don't you give up and hand me the ruby?
53, 52, 51, 50...
49, 48, 47, 46, 45...
Lupin, help me!
What are you gonna do, Mr. Lupin?
All right, you win. I'll give you the ruby.
37, 36, 35, 34, 33...
Stop the countdown.
Now, as you promised, return Fujiko back to me!
I never make a promise to anyone. All I do is give orders.
Wh-what?! That's not fair!
That's not what you promised!
You got tricked, Lupin.
If you want to see Fujiko so much, I'll let you see her right now. There!
Lupin!
Oh, my, what an interesting place to see you!
Why on earth are you here?
Don't say, "Why on earth." This is all for you, Fujiko dear.
Mr. Lupin, how do you like it there?
Not so bad.
Enjoy the last chance to say good-bye to each other in there.
As soon as we're ready...
we'll send you to the end of the universe.
So he says. What should we do, Fujiko dear?
What do you mean?! You doofus! Idiot! Looney!
That's so heartless. I came all this way to rescue you.
How are you rescuing me?
Uh, well, I mean... Just like he said...
why don't we spend some quality time in this tiny capsule?
I hate it when you're being a blob, Lupin!
Director of Science, come in.
Yes, what can I do for you?
What's the result of the analysis of the ruby?
It's undoubtedly authentic.
The numbers show exactly what the computer estimated.
Good. Load it into the generation circuit of the laser beam right away.
Yes, sir.
Is the rocket ready to launch?
Standby. OK.
Atomic Submarine, come in.
We are ready to launch.
First Special Attack Unit, come in.
Give us your order anytime.
Before long, the entire world will quiver in the face of my power...
and my Phantoma Empire will conquer the world!
Jigen, can you hear me? This is Lupin.
What's wrong? You can't reach him yet?
Damn! Looks like the island is covered with electronic interference.
Then what's gonna happen to us?
There is a pair of space suits.
Why don't we go ahead and enjoy our rendezvous in outer space?
Your face is enough of a joke for me!
Phantoma One, ready for launch.
All right. Resume the countdown.
2 minutes till launch.
1 minute 59, 58, 57...
56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51...
Lupin!
Mr. Lupin...
you'll soon enjoy a cosmic journey on our Phantoma One.
Unfortunately it's a one-way trip and you will never come back to the earth.
Damn!
Damn! Where on earth did Lupin hide himself?
Whoa! A r-rocket?!
10 seconds till launch.
9... 8...
7... 6...
5... 4...
3... 2...
1... 0!
Lupin, your joke is definitely over the top this time.
Even I can't follow you into space.
Hey, come back, Lupin!
Farewell, Lupin the Third.
Phantoma One launched successfully.
Atomic Submarine, get underway!
Aye, sir!
The earth looks beautiful from up here.
This is not the time to be saying such things.
If nothing is done, we won't be able to return to the earth!
I know... Ouch... but even I can't do much in space.
Phantoma One has reached orbit as planned.
Soon it will reach the first attack point.
I can just see all the major cities at the bottom of the ocean...
and all of the people running around in confusion!
Let's try this... and this... Eh? What? Huh?
So, can you maneuver it to get us home?
Well, although I have an A-class driver's license...
I never thought of getting a driver's license for spaceships.
Lupin! Just give up!
Phantoma One is under total control from the ground.
I knew it.
You two are going to die soon, overlooking the earth.
Before that, I'll show you something interesting.
That's Antarctica.
The glaciers have disappeared.
I see. That bastard is gonna sink the entire world underwater.
Did you see the power of our destructive laser beam?
The ice of Antarctica will begin to melt in just a second...
which will create tsunamis and strike the entire world.
Your ruby turned out to be very useful!
Damn!
SOS! SOS!
A huge tsunami has formed in the Antarctic Ocean!
It's heading toward Australia!
This is the Brazilian National Broadcasting Station.
A huge tsunami has just swallowed the Rio de Janeiro area!
The entire city has sunk into the ocean!
Here in South Africa as well, with the sudden attack of a tsunami...
all of Cape Town has disappeared into the ocean!
Before long, all major cities worldwide will be swallowed by the tsunamis!
What a waste for banks, museums and jewelry stores to go underwater.
Damn! It's unforgivable!
Mr. Phantoma! We have a problem!
- What is it? - Please look at this!
The NASA space shuttle is about to be launched toward Phantoma One.
What should we do?
Don't worry. It's too late for them to make a move now.
We'll soon reach the last attack point to melt all the ice in Antarctica.
Are you all right, Lupin?
This is the first time, even for me, to steal something in space.
Lupin, please be careful!
20 seconds to go, 19, 18, 17...
16, 15, 14...
5, 4, 3...
2, 1, 0!
What on earth is wrong?
I don't know. I'll investigate the cause right away!
Can you hear me, Phantoma?
Hmm? It's Lupin!
I've got my ruby back!
You bastard!
Our base has been discovered!
The combined fleets of the USA and Russia are sailing towards us!
Hey! Over here!
Over here! Over here!
Damn! We were so close!
Mr. Phantoma, please prepare to evacuate quickly!
I can't let you get away like this!
I'll turn you into space waste!
Die, Lupin!
I think we're about to reach the rendezvous point.
Lupin didn't have to go all the way into outer space just for a woman.
Huh? What is that?
We were so close to turning into space dust, right, Lupin?
Well, all villains come up with pretty much the same idea after all.
More importantly, you are alive thanks to me.
You could at least give me a kiss of appreciation.
Only if you give me the entire earth as a present.
You don't need to say such a heartless thing.
- No! - Give me a kiss!
Man! He's chasing a woman even in space.
Leave him alone.
It doesn't seem to matter whether he's on the earth or in space.
We were after the Kannon statue in the Asakusa Temple.
Meanwhile, Zenigata comes up with some countermeasures...
along with Detective Hanshichi.
This Detective Hanshichi is pretty traditional...
and I had a little run-in with him when I was young. The next episode...
"Mercy Mercy Me" (Detective Hanshichi: the Promise on the Tenth Year) See ya!
