Tif... fa... ny.
So this is the infamous Tiffany's jewelry store.
It's not that impressive, if you ask me.
It looks kind of boring.
Hey, come over here, Lupin.
The diamonds in there are impressive.
The window is bulletproof glass. It's also double-paned.
Look, the window frame is made of super alloy.
Ouch! Ouch! It's an iron wall!
How funny. They're worried about displaying jewelry!
If they're so worried about thieves, they shouldn't be selling diamonds!
So, Lupin, what do you say to stealing...
the entire jewelry collection from Tiffany's?
That would feel SO good!
Then why don't you give it a try, Mr. Lupin?
Either way, maybe you should look inside first.
Please, come on in.
Tiffany's has never been broken into ever.
If you succeed in stealing from this store...
it will go down in history.
I don't care much about history, but who in the world are you?
Me? I'm Margitte Tiffany.
I'm the owner of this store, and I'm a broadcaster as well.
Just call me Maggie.
"Christmas is in the Goddess's Hands" (Kurisumasu wa Megami no Te ni)
What? Lupin is going to break into Tiffany's on Christmas?
Margitte, do you know what you're saying?
Yes. We'll broadcast it live during my show.
I'm positive we'll get a really high rating.
Well, I don't know. TV broadcast is highly public in nature.
I don't think we should broadcast a live robbery case.
Lupin will be stealing from MY store.
And as the owner of the store, I'm saying it is all right...
so there shouldn't be any problem.
I see. Um, well, all right.
I guess it could be a funny "prank" for Christmas.
Hello there, all you media people!
How come there are so many of you? What if...
Oh, it hurts.
Jigen, you said you used to stay here.
What's up with this place?
Sorry about that. This used to be a five-star hotel ten years ago.
What a joke. We'll be broken into pieces before you know it.
Mr. Lupin, I have big news for you!
On Christmas night...
you and your friends will be breaking into Tiffany's.
What? You've gotta be kidding.
We've come to New York to enjoy Christmas.
He's right. Even thieves need a break from time to time.
It's already been decided...
that we'll broadcast it live as a Christmas special.
Maggie, I have absolutely no intention of stealing jewelry.
Who decided such a thing?
I did.
What? You did?
This is the Plaza Hotel.
I've prepared it all First Class to match your taste.
Now, please come in.
That's what she says. Shall we go take a look?
Sure.
This is the room for all of you. I hope you'll like it.
Wow. What a gorgeous room.
I wouldn't be surprised if Humphrey Bogart is here in a tuxedo.
Though he's not really my type.
Really? Well, anyway...
to cover your expenses...
I've set aside $100,000 for now.
$100,000?
Is it not enough?
Maggie, we are NOT going to steal.
I went to a lot of trouble. You can at least take a look.
So, what do you think?
Whoa! Impressive!
Lupin, what are you looking at?
Come on! Just because I looked doesn't mean there will be less.
She is willingly showing it to me.
And this is the check for your appearance on the show.
I haven't put in an amount yet.
If you succeed in stealing Tiffany's entire collection...
you are welcome to put in 100 million or 10 billion...
whatever amount you wish.
Maggie, I've told you. We've come here to have fun.
Right. If we don't succeed, we end up in a prison cell.
Let's just forget about it.
Hey, let's get going. The flight for Panama leaves soon.
Wait a second, Lupin!
It's no use stopping him. He's gone fishing.
Rich people like you are really strange.
You think people will wag their tails if you show them tons of cash.
Now the first-ever, most acclaimed TV special is down the drain.
Totally dead!
Looks like it.
Well, I guess I could afford to stay here for a couple of days.
You probably shouldn't.
Why is that?
The staff might mistake you for a maid.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
She makes me so mad! I'm going to stay here!
I'm staying no matter what!
What? It was cancelled? What a shame.
It would have been a perfect opportunity for the entire world...
to see me bravely arrest Lupin!
Here comes Fujiko.
What?
Inspector, why don't you stay in New York until Christmas?
Welcome.
So, I hear you are staying at the Plaza Hotel?
Yes. I've come to buy some jewels so I won't be mistaken for a maid.
Ah, thank you.
How about something like this?
Oh, that's not too bad.
Since I've come to New York, I've learned to enjoy writing checks.
I'll take this.
And how much would it be?
It's $100,000.
Ah, what a bargain.
Here.
Excuse me, Miss. You need to add one more zero.
It's tricky to write checks until you are used to it.
You'll get used to it in no time if you shop more and practice.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I've never made such a mistake before.
Hey, Lupin!
Don't let it get away, Lupin.
Just when I was ready to...
Finally, it's my turn.
Let's give it a shot.
Excuse me, sir, but that doesn't seem to have a fishing line.
That's right. Fishing lines can break, you know.
Then, old man, how do you hook a fish?
You don't hook a fish!
I use an electronic device to grab a fish and pull it up later.
Electronic device?
That's right.
My name is Gebopee.
I'm quite famous as a wacky scientist.
I'm the one who invented the famous Light Saber in Star Wars. See?
Well, unfortunately, I forgot to patent it.
That's why I'm still poor as ever.
Just sit back and watch the amazing power of my invention...
the "Electric Light Adhesive Beam Reel".
Oh! There!
Did you see that? It works! It's a great invention!
No matter how much the fish struggles, this beam will not break!
Whoa! Hot!
Hmm! I'll take this.
Is this right?
Um, Miss, there are one too many zeros.
What?
Mr. Lupin, there is a telegram message for you.
Thank you.
"My purse is empty.
"Please return to the Plaza Hotel. Love, Fujiko."
She's staying at such an expensive hotel.
No wonder she has run out of money!
Right, Jigen? Hey, what shall we do? Hey!
Lupin, you're the one who is in love with that woman.
Don't ask ME.
Man, you are so cold.
Fujiko dear!
What in the world is going on?
Ah! My darling, Lupin!
If you love me, please forgive me.
Ugh... um... what do you mean?
I was writing checks right and left.
Then I get this reminder of an overdue account from the bank.
They are telling me to re-pay one million dollars by tomorrow.
A... a million dollars?!
So, although I feel bad about it, please don't get mad at me, Lupin.
Tell me you won't get mad at me.
Just tell me what's going on.
Well, to tell you the truth, I got this check from Maggie.
Good afternoon, everyone. DDT Television is proud to present...
an exclusive, first-ever, live broadcast of a jewel robbery tonight...
as a Christmas present for our viewing audience!
Three TV cameras with cranes are installed on a skyscraper...
on Fifth Avenue.
And four more cameras are installed at Tiffany's.
When the bell at St. Patrick's Cathedral rings at midnight tonight...
all these cameras will turn on simultaneously.
Will Lupin be able to steal all of the jewels from Tiffany's?
Ah! Lupin himself is here to catch a sneak preview of Tiffany's.
A-ha! I've been waiting for you, Lupin.
Aye-yi-yi, Pops!
I'm gonna arrest all of you in front of the whole world!
The main focus of Christmas will not be you.
It will be me... Zenigata!
Pops, now that you know you'll be on TV, you sound pretty snappy.
Shut up!
By the way, you gonna show us your security gadgets and gizmos?
Sure, of course.
No matter what, you guys will be arrested. Here!
See? There is no room for even a bug to sneak in.
Besides...
let me show you what happens if a cigarette drops onto the floor.
Lupin, thanks to Fujiko's "l-Love-Luxury" syndrome...
we're gonna go through hell.
Right, but I'm sure we'll manage somehow.
No. Tiffany's is impregnable.
We won't be able to put even a foot in there.
You're absolutely right, Mr. Goemon.
It looks like you're all destined to get arrested by Inspector Zenigata.
Lupin!
Fujiko! What's up with this Rolls-Royce?
I just had to buy it!
There is nothing like a Rolls-Royce. It runs so well.
Now, good luck, sweetheart!
Hey, wait, Fujiko!
You moron! We have to take subways and walk!
I see. A subway runs underneath Tiffany's.
Man, I never dreamt that I'd be acting like a mole on Christmas.
Right. If God finds out about this, He'll weep for us, Lupin.
I truly appreciate your friendship.
Chief, as a representative of Interpol...
I officially request the help of the New York City Police.
Lupin is tricky. We should stay vigilant.
Inspector, even Lupin won't be able to break into Tiffany's.
The fact that he won't be able to break in...
means that it is no use mobilizing our men.
We'll mobilize when the alarm goes off.
That's not too late.
Chief!
By the way, would you like to come to my house for Christmas dinner?
Thanks, but no thanks.
If that's the case, I will arrest Lupin all by myself.
Lupin, you don't have much time left.
You'd better hurry. It's almost time for "Jingle Bells."
I know. Mr. Gebopee, how is it going with your casting rod?
Well, it's almost finished.
All right. Mine is finished.
Oops!
Goemon, we're counting on you.
Sure.
That's impossible!
Mission accomplished.
Lupin, I'm gonna arrest you!
Pops, what the heck are you doing down there?
Weren't you supposed to be the "big star" of Christmas?
Oh, shut up.
Someday, I will bring you to justice, before the heavens so!
We are getting ready to do some fishing at the best possible fishing spot.
So please keep quiet.
Now I've gotten rid of a nuisance.
Next, I need to power up the beam...
There!
Now we can fish freely.
Hey, everyone, make sure you catch every single one of them.
Even Jesus Christ wouldn't know about Precious Metal Magnetism.
Whoa! Diamonds, emeralds! Whoa! Rubies, too!
So, are you impressed with the power of my adhesive beam?
Am I not a brilliant scientist?
Yeah, old man. If you'd have been on the right path...
you would've received a Nobel Prize.
I can't believe this!
Merry Christmas!
The jewels are in the hand of the Statue of Liberty.
Lupin the Third.
I lost.
Lupin!
Damn! He did it!
Huh? Let me see.
Lupin is being way too cocky! I'm gonna arrest him!
Merry Christmas!
A princess gets kidnapped by weird guys.
Believe it or not, the suspect is my look-alike!
I never imagined that I'd be fighting against myself.
Who the hell came up with such an idiotic idea?!
The next episode is "Return of the X Factor" (Lupin's Enemy is Lupin)
See ya!
