*Good Faith*
At the end of Tokugawa shogunate, Shinsen-Gumi fought against...
the Meiji Restoration Government all over Japan...
and eventually they all died, along with the Shogunate Army.
The Shogunate naval ship, Banryu-Maru...
with the hidden treasure of the Golden Cannon...
was taken out of the Castle...
and sunk to the bottom of the sea near the Tsugaru Strait.
The ship was meant to drift away at the bottom of the sea forever...
moving with the sea currents which flow into the Sea of Japan...
from the Pacific.
No one saw the Golden Cannon after that.
*Good Faith*
If I, Isami Kondo the Third, and Lupin the Third join forces...
there's nothing we cannot accomplish in this world!
I'm grateful Fujiko introduced us.
Please accept this as a token of my appreciation.
Oh, my! Purple pearls!
How sweet of you, Mr. Kondo. You seem to know my taste quite well.
What a joke! What taste? She likes ANY jewelry.
Mr. Kondo, let's look at the ancient scroll...
that tells of the Golden Cannon, which has been passed down...
to the descendants of the Shinsen-gumi.
Oh, sure. Hey, Okita! Bring it here!
Yes, sir!
I'm Soshi Okita.
"Lupin vs. Shinsen-Gumi"
Are you really serious about this?
Mr. Lupin, I'm a businessman.
Do you think I'd do anything that might not turn a profit?
The Golden Cannon is said to be worth 70 to 80 million dollars...
to avid collectors of rare artifacts such as this.
Please don't forget that we have a contract to split things fifty-fifty.
Don't even think about getting clever with me.
You are our guardian angel...
but even you cannot triumph over the sea's powerful current.
Who is it?
Jigen, do seals live in the Tsugaru Strait?
Beats me.
Lupin, that seems to be the Banryu-Maru's pathway.
So, this is the pathway the ship has been traveling...
for the past hundred years, dragged by the sea currents.
It should be coming any minute now.
Mr. Lupin, someone of your reputation isn't going to give up?
It's ridiculous. Nobody told us the current was so strong.
Well, it is undersea.
I'm sure it's a little different from what it's like on land. Right, Okita?
Way too different!
We've already lost eighteen highly-skilled divers.
So, tell me, is it impossible even for the great Lupin the Third?
I don't wanna die just yet.
Find the nineteenth diver somewhere else. See ya!
Mr. Kondo, this is not exactly what you promised me.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Lupin has always gotten what he wanted.
On top of that, he has seen the Golden Cannon.
He will manage to raise it from the seabed.
Then YOU take over, John.
Until then take it easy and have fun.
I'm relieved to hear that.
How can I raise it, even with that strong current?
*LIBRARY*
Yeah! Let's play ring toss!
RING TOSS
Hey, old man. Let me play.
Whoa! You're so good at it!
Hey, old man. Here's some money. Let these kids play.
Huh? Oh, thank you very much.
Whoa! Thank you, Mister!
Inspector, there's a weird guy on the road.
Shall we turn around?
Leave him alone. I'm off-duty in this episode. I'm sleepy.
Yes, sir.
Jigen, bring 'em on.
Roger!
Don't surprise me. John, it's starting now.
I paid you 20 million dollars.
I expect you to do a job that's worth every cent of it.
You can count on me. I'll do it fast...
so I can go to Vegas and have a big party.
Lucky you.
Anyway, don't goof up.
Lupin, any time now.
All right.
Now, Lupin!
No, not yet.
Lupin, you're a genius!
That's what everyone tells me.
What were you doing in there?
Oh, nothing. I was just looking inside.
We're ready, Lupin. OK!
Finally, finally, the Golden Cannon has been raised.
Lupin, this job was easier than we thought, wasn't it?
Doesn't look that way anymore.
We're seeing Kondo's true colors at last.
Lupin, can't you do something about this?
A spear gun like this is no match for a bazooka!
I don't want to die in a place like this!
I thought something like this just might happen. So I came prepared.
What's this gas?
I have no idea.
Get the explosives ready now. Destroy Lupin and the ship!
So, Lupin, this may not be appropriate to ask right after you saved my life...
but what are you going to do with the Golden Cannon?
I'll take it, of course.
Oh, my dear Lupin, I love you.
Oh, no! I can't kiss you.
It's still good.
Hurry up!
May Lupin's soul rest in peace. Cheers!
What's the matter? What happened?
We're in trouble! The ship's on the rocks.
You idiot! What's Okita doing? Okita!
It looks like he's jumped ship.
What?
Okita!
Okita, what are you doing up there?
Why aren't you navigating?
President Kondo. No. Kondo!
Have you forgotten our ancestors' deep grudge?
Your grandfather was dishonored by being decapitated...
and having his head on public display...
by the bastards of the Satsuma and Choshu Armies.
Other soldiers fought all over Japan, but they were driven here to Hakodate...
and were completely wiped out.
The story of this Golden Cannon has been passed down...
as the symbol of our hope to resurrect the Shinsen-Gumi.
But you're trying to cash in on our dream.
That's absurd. That's outdated, crazy thinking.
What did you say?
What do you hope to accomplish by resurrecting the Shinsen-Gumi...
in highly-developed modern Japan?
We'd make Hokkaido an independent nation!
With the Shinsen-Gumi becoming the major force behind the cause!
Fire! Whoa!
What? Seals?
They're my men, who are not afraid to die for the cause.
Ugh. Well, Mr. Okita, I've decided to retire.
I'll just go ahead and leave the rest up to you and your fellow men.
Thanks. Thanks.
Okita, money talks loudest in this world.
Mr. Okita, now we can make our lifelong dream come true!
Stop crying! The battle has just begun.
Yes, sir. I won't cry until we make Hokkaido an independent nation.
Humph! Grown men weeping for joy?
The mere sight of it makes me shudder.
Let's get this ship out of the bay before they notice.
Jigen and I will take care of those guys.
Lupin, navigate the ship.
All right.
We're in trouble! The ship's moving!
Don't let anyone take the cannon!
Fight!
Full speed ahead, Lupin!
Aye-aye, sir!
Gosh.so much for the "Aye-aye, sir!" You can't even steer.
Lupin, the ship's going backwards!
You know, Fujiko, all of a sudden the engine lost power.
And then it started going in reverse.
They must've bought this ship secondhand.
I'll think of a way to fix it.
Oh, no, Fujiko. Do you have a toothache or something?
Octopus! Jigen, it's an octopus!
Lupin, open the door! What are you doing?
What? Oops. Sorry!
What were you thinking? You locked me in there!
Octopus! Jigen, it's a giant octopus!
Lupin, what's all this about an octopus?
What does he mean, octopus?
What? There is one!
Bullets don't work!
Okita, Goemon Ishikawa is here. I'll take you on.
I will not forgive anyone who tries to stop us from realizing...
our long-cherished dream!
Bring it on!
The difference between our swords has been proven.
Goemon!
G-Goemon!
Goemon! You're alive!
It's all over now!
Watch out! Okita's gonna blow up the ship! Run!
What?
This Golden Cannon is our dream! I won't let anyone take it!
Stop it, Okita! Stop, or I'll shoot!
Lupin, don't! He's completely insane! We should run.
The Shinsen-Gumi will rise again!
- Now, Lupin. Hurry! - All right!
We'll make Hokkaido an independent nation!
Golden fireworks, huh? How ephemeral... Boom!
The jewelry I'm after is connected to a murder case...
and I seem to be the suspect.
Then a kid detective named Boronco pops up and chases me relentlessly.
His father's Columbo. No wonder.
So, why not find the real killer together?
The next episode is "Skateboard Murder Mystery."
See ya!
