Who is it?
Beauty!
TOP SECRET: "Kill Lupin."
"Order to Kill!!" (Shasatsu Meirei!!)
Police Commissioner's Office
What? Then, Commissioner!
You are telling me that I must give a speech...
on Lupin's criminal history in Hawaii?
Right, Inspector Zenigata.
It is a request from Interpol headquarters.
They would like you to attend the International Crime Conference...
in Hawaii as a special guest.
A "special guest"? Could that possibly mean...
that I'll be... a VIP?
That's right.
Commissioner, I know I'm being selfish...
but I would like to turn down the offer.
If I'm not around to keep an eye on Lupin...
you never know what idiotic plans he may come up with. Therefore...
You idiot! This is an order!
An order?
That's right. Besides, the fact that they invited you as a VIP...
means you are recognized worldwide as the foremost crime expert on Lupin!
As a man, this should be the proudest moment of your life!
The proudest moment of my life as a man?
Hmm! I have to go!
Commissioner, I want to start writing my speech right away...
so I'm going home now.
Well, you can do that during your flight.
Here is your passport. Zenigata, you're leaving right away!
Oh? Lupin, Pops seems to be traveling abroad.
Well, it's gonna be nice and quiet for a while.
Then, to celebrate Pops' departure...
why don't we make a toast? And let's make a big deal out of it!
What? Beauty.
Well, we meet again, Jigen. I'm glad you seem to be well.
What do you want?
I didn't come to kill you, so relax.
I just need to talk to that skinny guy over there.
Lupin, Interpol has given me an order to kill you.
Order to kill me?
They can't leave a fool like you loose any longer, I guess.
I'm gonna kill you with my gun.
Really?
So you're gonna shoot me and poke an air hole in my side?
It will make my body well-ventilated. Nice and breezy.
Humph! I guess you can't keep your mouth shut.
I'll blow your head off tomorrow.
You might want to get your coffin ready.
You only have until tomorrow to live.
Well, Lupin, you may have heard of him through the grapevine...
but he is the guy who used to be known as the "demon detective."
I had no idea he had been promoted to Captain at Interpol.
I don't care if he is Beauty or Dirty, I'll accept the challenge!
This is not the time to be joking. You saw his gun, didn't you?
It's a .44 caliber Colt Python.
There's no gun more powerful than that one.
Lupin, why don't you flee with me?
Maybe to the South Pacific, or somewhere. OK?
Fujiko, I'm not Gauguin. I'm a thief.
I'm not gonna run away.
I don't know much about guns...
but I can tell he is scary and skilled.
Lupin, I understand your feelings...
but he's a professional killer with a police badge.
Welcome, Mr. Zenigata!
Oh, thank you, thank you! Oh, thank you!
Mr. Zenigata.
Oh, thank you! What a pretty girl.
So, this is the proudest moment of my life as a man!
I see. I see. I'm a world-famous celebrity now.
I wish Lupin could see me now!
Lupin, to be honest with you...
Beauty is way beyond you. You can't beat him.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Just listen. Six years ago...
I was a consummate assassin.
But even I had to run away from him. You should hide somewhere.
Lupin, sometimes it's necessary to run.
It won't be considered a disgrace.
Now you guys are making me mad.
If I run just because there is an order to kill me...
my Walther will weep.
Lupin, don't be so arrogant!
If you trade shots with Beauty, you will not win.
His gun is far superior!
The reason I, Zenigata, keep pursuing...
the extremely strange, fearless master thief, Lupin the Third...
is to arrest him without killing him.
Charlie Chaplin once said...
"Killing one person makes you a criminal...
but killing a million makes you a hero."
If I shoot Lupin and capture him dead...
it will be nothing but a murder in the name of investigation!
Thank you. Thank you. Calm down. OK. Thank you.
Jigen, what do you mean that his gun is far superior?
Lupin, certainly the Walther P38's double action is excellent.
The ballistic course of the Parabellum is stable.
The Walther P38 is the best automatic pistol in the world.
Yeah, you're right.
But, Lupin, it cannot shoot Magnum bullets.
Here it is. Magnum.
This is an SW Magnum revolver.
Jigen, of course a Magnum has far more destructive power...
but accuracy is more important, right?
Speaking of accuracy, you saw Beauty's gun, right?
It is equipped with Venturi for cooling...
in order to prevent the heat haze caused by the gun barrel...
from interfering with his aim.
Lupin, the Walther P38 was first manufactured in 1934.
Colt Python was made in 1968. Do you understand?
There is a 34-year difference. It's natural that they are different.
Lupin, you can wait for another chance to face off against Beauty.
You don't need to hasten to your doom. Just flee this time.
What? An order to kill Lupin? That's impossible!
Inspector, please help!
Hmm. They sent me off to a conference...
while they sent a detective like Beauty, who is a bloodthirsty killer!
Interpol has certainly hit rock bottom!
Hurry up now! Lupin's life is in danger!
All right. I'll take care of it!
Here I go!
Jigen, Goemon, I'm sorry...
but I need you guys to sleep for a while.
I'm a man, you know.
I can't run just because someone wants me dead.
We all die sooner or later.
I'll just see what I can do.
Damn it! Lupin went by himself to take on Beauty!
Not bad at all, Mr. Beauty...
but I can't just give up without a fight.
You bastard!
Lupin, shooting it out with me is like a rabbit trying to bite a lion.
You idiot!
What?!
Not good. Damn!
Playtime is over, Lupin. I'm gonna finish you off.
Hold it, Beauty! Hold it! Hold it!
Hold it!
Lupin! Get ahold of yourself, Lupin!
Pull yourself together!
The sun is setting, Fujiko.
Someone is always "going" with the setting sun.
It's my turn today.
Lupin. Lupin! LUPIN!
You must be extremely satisfied to have fulfilled your duty.
But I'm not gonna be fooled!
Just what you'd expect from Inspector Zenigata.
Mr. Assassin here used dumdum bullets.
That seems to be the case, Beauty.
Dumdum bullets were... um... in 19... 19...
In 1929, the Treaty of Versailles...
banned the use of dumdums by the police worldwide.
Right! That treaty of "The Rose of Versailles"...
banned them, Beauty!
So what?
Whether you use dumdums or Magnum, you're still killing someone.
The result is the same.
This is MY way of taking care of business.
Ah! I'm soaking wet! It was just awful!
Argh! It's freezing cold! It's not even funny.
Right. I thought my insides were going to fill up with water in that rain.
What the heck was my funeral for?
I'm just fine. See? I demand an explanation!
Don't be so cocky, Lupin.
You would've been dead under normal circumstances.
That bastard Beauty blasted dumdum bullets!
If you'd been hit directly, you would've been blown to pieces!
The adhesive bullet I shot got there in the nick of time.
That's what happened.
Damn! That bastard Beauty! He used explosive bullets?!
He's gonna pay for this!
Ouch! Ouch!
Lupin, you should rest quietly now.
Ouch! Don't even touch me! It hurts! Ouch! Ouch!
Inspector Beauty of ICPO.
Please listen to your message with the headset at hand.
What do you mean you had my funeral?! I'm just fine! See?
That bastard Beauty used explosive bullets?!
That's NOT Beauty-ful!
He's gonna pay for this for sure, that idiot cop!
Damn!!!
Ooh, it's tasty.
Zenigata, where is Lupin?
Huh? He's in a grave, of course!
Beauty, even if Lupin is alive...
I have not received any requests to help a killer like you...
so you're on your own!
What did you say?
Here they come!
It's YOUR turn to be pursued by Lupin and his gang.
Those bastards!
Lupin, what are you gonna do with those thermometers?
If he's ready to use such dirty tricks like dumdum bullets...
then I'm gonna use mercury ointment... no, mercury bullets.
Lupin, this is no time for a joke like that!
Hurry up, or Jigen will get killed!
I know! Fujiko, Goemon, please break these thermometers.
Gently... gently!
You're gonna pay, Beauty!
Is there such a thing as a mercury bullet?
Goemon, I may not look like one, but I am a literary enthusiast.
This mercury bullet is an invention of my beloved Papa Hemingway.
It is said that a single bullet can bring down a giant elephant.
As soon as it hits a target, the impact forces the mercury inside...
to spread with double the intensity and speed.
That's how it goes.
Beauty will definitely be surprised...
or he may not even have time for that.
By the way, Lupin...
do you know the exact recipe to combine mercury and gunpowder?
Well, not exactly.
Then, Lupin, in the worst case scenario...
There's a possibility that I'll be blown to pieces.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
Beauty, I'll let you admire Lupin's face soon enough.
Jigen, Dream Island was a clever choice.
Of course.
There is nothing you can blow up with your dumdum bullets.
Jigen, don't bite off more than you can chew.
You may lose your life.
Ever since I ran away from you...
I have dreamt of the day I would face off against you again.
Now I've finally realized something!
Your weakness shows when you pull out the gun with both hands.
Since you are holding a gigantic gun like a Colt Python...
you can't shoot with one hand.
I see. Well, shall we go ahead and settle the score, Jigen?
Sure, I'm ready any time.
Ugh... that's impossible.
Jigen, I am a perfectly legitimate killer.
On top of that, I get paid a salary and a special bonus by Interpol.
Damn! I'm gonna get killed here.
I'm the world's number one expert on murder.
Jigen! Hey, listen! Whoa! Ouch!
Lupin!
There is a slight chance that we may both die...
but let's give it a shot. Here's a mercury bullet that I made.
Use my shoulder.
Here we go!
Now, Jigen! Fire!
Lupin, what the hell happened?
Well, what can I say?
I guess I used too much gunpowder.
That's why he was blown up into tiny little pieces!
Ah! No! Goemon!
Don't be sneaky! Don't hold her! I wanna do that!
We snuck into a certain country in the Himalayas.
Anyway, we are all dressed weird. We look like characters from Saiyuki.
I heard this country is loaded with treasures!
But guess what happened? We were turned into dwarfs!
What are we gonna do?
The next episode is "Monkey King Business." (Lupin's Great Journey to the West)
See ya!
