Maybe I should bring this along, too.
And this, too.
You just never know.
Finally I've found Lupin's hideout.
No more goofing around. Today is the day I finally arrest him.
Uh... what?
Why the heck are you dressed like that?
Resistance is futile, Lupin.
Sorry to tell you this, when you've come all this way...
but I have no time to play, Pops. See ya!
What did you say?
See ya!
How dare you insult me?! Wait, Lupin!
Help me!
I'll be there soon to rescue you. Hang in there, Jigen, Goemon!
Lupin, I know this sounds stupid, but we are trapped in a weird village.
The village is called Gemarschaft.
It's not even on the map, and it's a scary place.
Lupin, come rescue us. We're not gonna last much longer!
"The Sound of the Devil's Bell Calls for Lupin!" (Lupin wo Yobu Akuma no Kane no Ne)
So that's the village of Gemarschaft.
It looks just like a peaceful boring village.
It's awfully quiet.
Is anyone here?
Wh-what the hell is that?
- You loser! - Go to hell!
Ahh! Sister Lavina! It's Sister Lavina!
Sister Lavina!
Number 108 has died.
The path to enlightenment was right in front of him...
but he surrendered to his feeble mind.
All of you should work harder, so you won't be like Number 108.
To those who follow obediently, without selfish motives...
the bell will always bring inner peace.
Number 106 and 107.
Jigen? Goemon?
Dispose of this failure.
Jigen, Goemon, what the heck is going on here?
This is where you can clean your karma...
and learn the path to enlightenment.
That's really nice, but don't tell me you guys are into it.
I've realized for the first time what it is to live a righteous life.
Come on, Jigen. This is a bad joke.
Who are you to preach a "righteous life"?
You could attain true inner peace in this village.
Holy cow! You guys must have really gone nuts.
Well, you'll understand before long.
What are you guys afraid of? That nun?
If you confront her, you'll end up like that guy? Is that it?
Don't worry. I'm here to rescue you guys.
I am the ultimate lady-killer. I can take that woman.
I will never forgive you if you speak ill of Sister Lavina!
All right, all right! Do what you like, then.
Lavina... Is that your name?
What the hell are you up to?
Nothing.
I'm just helping the villagers learn to lead a peaceful life.
What a bunch of baloney!
You've turned my partners into wimps!
You mean Number 106 and 107?
Don't call them by numbers! I'm talking about Jigen and Goemon!
Those two are my partners. I'm taking them home with me.
You may do as you wish...
only if they want to go, Lupin.
Why don't you repent the numerous sins of your past...
and start a new life here in this village?
I decide how I want to live! No one's gonna tell me what to do!
Everyone says so at first.
But they change, Lupin. You will, too.
The taste of inner peace!
It's done, Number 107.
Now, don't you think it looks tasty?
It's a vegetable soup, made with vegetables from our garden.
I found you, Jigen and Goemon!
Don't waste your time resisting me. Accept this rope peacefully!
Hot! Hot! Damn it! Wanna fight?
Ha! There!
Finally I've arrested you guys!
What's the matter? You're not gonna try to escape?
You guys ended up getting captured by me.
What good would running do?
What good, you say? Well, you know...
It's sort of our destiny.
Your disguise is not fooling us, Lupin.
What?!
We've given up on the life of running and fighting.
Do you guys really mean that?
- Yes. - Yes.
I still can't believe that you guys have changed, just like that!
The bells here ring so often!
Jigen? Goemon? What's up?
Hey, Jigen! Goemon!
I've come all this way, and you guys are going to bed?
It's only bedtime for kids. Stop pretending to be asleep! Get up!
H-Hey, what's the matter? What are you gonna do to me?
You... Devil!
H-Hey, stop, Jigen!
You're trying to keep us from sleeping, Devil!
Um... hey, calm down, Jigen! What the hell is going on, Goemon?
S-S-Stop, Jigen!
Die, Devil!
We can hear... we can hear... the peaceful sound of the bell.
They were serious, coming after me.
Something is just not right here. There's something causing this.
My dear brothers who have awakened!
May you follow God's teachings today...
and attain deep inner peace.
Early to bed and early to rise, keeping regular hours, huh?
Admirable for so early in the morning.
Thanks to these ear plugs, I got a good night's sleep last night.
Well, let's see... I'm gonna expose that woman today!
I'm gonna start with this bell.
I thought this bell was strange...
but I guess it's just an ordinary bell.
No, it's not. The sound is different. It's not what we usually hear.
It's a speaker. The sound was coming out of here...
and echoing all around us.
Just as I thought.
There must be some sort of audio system.
Hmm. Now I get it.
I found it!
Reporting from the Experiment Village.
The Experiment is going very well.
Over 100 people have been "converted"...
and are now ready for shipping.
More importantly, Lupin the Third, who Mr. President requested...
has finally walked into our trap.
I should be able to report a good result to you before long.
What kind of result do you have in mind?
You! How did you...
I had no idea there was such an impressive laboratory here.
"Human conversion, experimental data during sleep..."
"Repetitive hypnotherapy with audio and results on an EKG."
Now, do you mind telling me your true identity, Sister Lavina?
I'm just a psychologist.
Then that makes us mere guinea pigs.
Right. So we can convert you into obedient people who follow orders.
Why do you want to do that?
Because there are countries that demand such people!
They want soldiers who are willing to follow any orders...
no matter what.
I see. You sell them for a high price, as soldiers to send to the frontline.
Now that I have told you who I am...
you must tell me one thing in return.
Why didn't the bell have any hypnotic effect on you?
That's easy! I'm the kind of a guy who has no patience.
I slept with these in.
That's far too simple.
From now on, I will select only guys who are patient.
So, after hypnotherapy, you'll give me eternal sleep?
It's a shame to have to waste such a good guinea pig.
Please excuse my unsightly appearance, but bye now, Sister Lavina!
What the?!
He's an idiot...
if he thinks he can escape from this village.
Number 106 and Number 107!
- Sister Lavina. - Sister Lavina.
Both of you, come closer to me.
- Yes. - Yes.
Be good boys and go to sleep.
I'll never let you guys say I have a soft spot for women.
That is just so useless.
I don't expect to be able to escape easily, but...
Here it comes.
Watch this!
Mission accomplished!
Hey, what's going on?
Gosh, it's so persistent!
I bet it's not gonna come after me in the water!
Ugh, don't tell me!
It showed up again!
Lupin, do you understand now that you cannot escape from this village?
Now, I will give you one more chance.
Will you be my obedient guinea pig?
Didn't I tell you that I decide how I live my own life?
Really? That's too bad.
Now wake up, Number 106 and 107!
This is my order. Kill that guy!
Uh, hey, guys, you're not gonna...
Oh, hey, wake up, Jigen!
Hey, stop, Goemon!
Both of you, stop! Don't!
Lupin, either you fall down and get killed by all of these people...
or be killed by your partners up there.
Those are the choices. Either way, you die!
Damn you!
I guess I have no place to run to.
I'll take my chances. Come on!
What did he do?!
My head's gonna explode!
Help me, someone!
- Oh, no! It hurts! - Help!
Oh, no. The experiment has gone so smoothly up until now.
But it failed completely, didn't it, Lavina?
I should have expected this from you, Lupin.
No wonder they asked for you specifically.
That's right. I'm special.
It's about time you give up, Lavina.
Well, I'm not too sure about that.
What? What? What?
You'll pay for this, Lupin!
You don't give up easily, do you?
What? What? What?
Lavina!
Lupin, I look forward to the day we meet again!
You need to check with me first if you want to go on a date.
That's no use. Such a thing won't work.
We'll see.
It's...
It's hydrogen gas.
H-help me!
Bye now! Go have a dream about becoming a god.
I feel like I am just waking up from a bad dream.
Thanks to that bad dream of yours, I almost got killed.
I'm so ashamed.
I want you to tell me honestly...
Did you, even for a split second...
want to bring me down a peg or two?
Now that you mention it...
I might have subconsciously wished that.
Human emotions are indeed complex.
Just as I thought! Then... see ya!
You two should go live like children in that village!
Hey! Hey, Lupin, wait! I was just kidding!
- Hey, hey, Lupin - Wait, Lupin!
I killed Fujiko, the woman I love most in the entire universe...
with my own hands. I don't know what to do!
Such a dreadful event took place right in front of my own eyes!
In order to solve this mystery, I had to face the mystery with courage.
The next episode is "Charity Begins At Home" (A Trap for a Trap) See ya!
"A Trap for a Trap!"
