Mr. President, we've brought Jigen Daisuke and his partners.
- Let them in. - Yes, sir.
Now, Mr. Daisuke...
we received a letter addressed to you at our foreign embassy the other day.
A letter?
Right. They tell me a badly injured carrier pigeon brought it in.
Jigen, you once told me that I could come to you for help any time.
I believe in your sincerity, and now I need to ask for your help.
I can't write in any detail right now...
but I need you to rescue Dr. Othello, whom you also know, right away.
Sister Angelica at Othello Hospital in Borodias.
Sister? When did she become a nun?
As you all know...
the Commonwealth of Borodias is currently experiencing civil war.
The blacks have rebelled, demanding to be freed from the white regime.
Dr. Othello is the leader of the blacks...
as well as a world-renowned medical doctor.
This is the Dr. Othello we're discussing.
Angelica.
So...
I would like to ask you for a favor as well.
I want you to rescue Dr. Othello.
Mr. President, you can easily do that by sending your own troops to Africa.
If I could do that, I wouldn't be asking for your help.
All right then, please tell us why you want us to do it.
The oppression of the blacks in the Commonwealth of Borodias...
is unpardonable. It's beyond description.
The black people who revolted for independence are...
on the brink of total annihilation by the National Army.
So we're going to rescue Dr. Othello...
help him establish a government in exile in Europe...
and when it's appropriate...
we'll help them establish an independent state.
I see.
However, our country has diplomatic relations with Borodias...
so we cannot rescue him and openly take his side.
So we want you to get him on the rescue aircraft that's standing by...
at the border of the neighboring Republic of Catanbe.
And what if we do rescue him?
We are prepared to pay whatever price you ask.
However, if you fail and are captured by the National Army...
you will be shot to death on the spot.
And we will not interfere with that.
"Do You Know Shakespeare?" (Shekusupia wo Shitterukai?)
By the way, Jigen, where in the world did you meet Miss Angelica?
Where?
Well, it was eight years ago in the winter.
Back then I was...
just a small-time hit man.
I was hired to kill a guy...
who turned out to be a son of a mafia boss.
Right away the shit hit the fan. They were after me...
and I became a fugitive, traveling all over the world.
I caught a cold in Venice in winter.
Huh? The sky keeps weeping.
How much longer will it snow?
Who said Italy is the country of the sun?
Don't make me laugh!
Are you sick?
No. It's nothing.
But you look pale.
Look out! Keep away from me!
I owe her for sinking her Rolls Royce.
Owe her, huh? I can only guess there's more to this story.
I'd say a whole lot more.
Hot and steamy stuff went on, right, Jigen?
I really don't care much for romantic stories.
Though it's for the sake of freedom, so many soldiers die every day.
Sister, I have to wonder if I have been wrong.
Doctor, I understand how much you are suffering, but...
Jigen!
Jigen! It's you!
Jigen!
You've come for me, Jigen!
Yes, because you asked me to.
I'm a man of my word.
Dr. Othello.
You need to leave here immediately.
The President really said he'd help us establish a government in exile?
Yes. And your rescue aircraft should be standing by near the border.
I truly appreciate the offer, but we want to fight it out.
I cannot abandon my countrymen and run away.
The National Army will soon invade this Othello Hospital...
which is our last stronghold.
As you can see, we lack even the medicine...
to relieve the pain of the injured soldiers.
If I leave, who will encourage them...
treat their wounds, and give our dead countrymen a proper burial?
I will take over, Doctor.
Please, Doctor! Please get out of here immediately.
Huh? Looks like they're here.
I will fight, too.
Doctor, if you should die...
it would further delay the independence.
If that should happen, more and more people will surely die.
Doctor, please go!
Please escape, Doctor.
Please go!
But, Angelica...
Please, Doctor, I'm begging you. Please escape as soon as you can!
How can I do that and leave you behind all alone?
I have Jigen.
Right. Jigen is with me. So don't worry, Doctor.
All right.
Think of this as me and protect my people for me.
I will return no matter what.
I will, Doctor, and thank you.
May God be with you.
Now that you've decided to go, let's hurry up and get moving.
Jigen, we'll take off without you.
Thanks, Lupin. I'll catch up with you later.
Sure. I'll be waiting.
Doctor...
Angelica, they're already directly above us.
I need to rescue the people outside!
What are you saying?
What can just the two of us do right now?
But I need to go to them!
Are you all right, Angelica?
Yes.
Let's hide in there for now.
What's this door?
Dr. Othello's lab.
Angelica, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine, Jigen.
What in the world?!
Watch out! Run, Angelica!
Thank you very much, Mr. Lupin.
No problem. Like you, I don't like it...
when black, white, or yellow becomes an issue.
Lupin!
Doctor!
Angelica!
Oh, God. What a brutal thing.
Angelica, don't run around!
You might step on unexploded bombs! Angelica!
Angelica, can't you hear me?!
Angelica, stop! Stop!
Angelica! Angelica! Get a hold of yourself!
Jigen...
Angelica, why did you become a nun?
You're from a noble Italian family...
and you could have enjoyed the high life.
I think I can tell you now.
You're partially responsible. Please understand.
After you disappeared from the rose garden...
I sought love in God.
And finally God has found me.
I was able to see you again and Dr. Othello was rescued.
Goodbye, Jigen.
Angelica!
Lupin, the independence of Borodias is nothing but a fantasy now.
With Dr. Othello's death, everything has gone up in smoke.
No. It looks like we've been deceived.
Lupin, this is a trap.
So, Dr. Othello, how do you like the taste of the victory cigar?
Mr. President, Dr. Othello died at the national border in Borodias.
I'm Brenan, Director of the GIB.
Even Lupin wouldn't figure out...
that the Chief of the GIB was the leader of the black movement.
Thanks to your information...
the blacks who demanded independence have all been wiped out!
We need to protect the profits of the white people.
An infinite abundance of diamonds, uranium, gold and other riches...
lie untapped in the ground in that country.
If we let them take over...
it would be a major blow to the white community.
You are absolutely correct, Mr. President.
Thank you for your long and hard work.
Hurry to the hospital to get bleached.
Yes, sir. Now if you'll excuse me.
Fujiko, does that face look familiar to you?
Dr. Othello died.
It was such big news on TV and in the papers.
No. That bastard is alive...
probably as a genuine and authentic white person.
I know a white person who looks just like him!
Who is it?
Director Brenan of the GIB.
I heard he's been hospitalized with a terminal illness.
I dined with him a couple of times.
I see. So he's involved.
Fujiko, will you meet with him?
Sure. With my charm and beauty, I can easily take on a few directors.
It's been such a long time, Director.
I'm happy to see you doing so well.
Thank you. I never dreamed I'd recover enough...
to dine with you, Miss Fujiko.
I was lingering on the brink of death, as you know.
Then, Chief, why don't we toast to celebrate your recovery?
Great. Let's do that.
I did it, Lupin.
All right, Jigen. Put Angelica's rosary over here.
Fujiko, put that glass here, too.
Good. Now all is well.
It's a little late in the season, but here's the first gale of spring.
Lupin, what are you doing?
Take a look at these.
What do you mean? Oh, come on!
Just look at these carefully.
I get it! Fingerprints, huh?
Bingo! It's always useful to read detective novels.
We'll be able to find out if he is indeed Dr. Othello.
That Lupin, what's he up to now?
Mr. President, you might think you played a clever trick on us...
but unfortunately it didn't work out.
What are you talking about?
I saw it at the hospital in Borodias, Director Brenan.
Director, you were tanning your skin in that lab to turn into a black person.
It's quite an interesting story...
but where do you have the proof that I am Dr. Othello?
I believe you've at least seen a Shakespeare play or two, Director.
How come Othello's eyes are blue? Huh?
Why? Well, it's because...
It's because the black person is played by a white person.
So... so what?
You might have been able to disguise your blue eyes...
but you couldn't change your fingerprints.
Here, Brenan. These are your fingerprints from Angelica's rosary.
And these are the ones Fujiko Mine retrieved from the restaurant.
They match, Brenan.
Or should I call you Dr. Othello?
Now, Mr. President, what shall we do?
Who would believe what thieves like you say?
God will! You even betrayed Sister Angelica...
who died believing in the independence of Borodias.
That's the same as betraying God!
Lupin!
What have you done this time?
Mr. President, rest assured!
I, Zenigata, will protect you!
Mr. President, let's board the helicopter for now.
Mr. President, there's no need to panic.
As long as I make a stand here, I won't let Lupin lay a finger on you...
I won't let that happen! Huh? Oops! What the?
Lupin, what the heck did you do to the President?
Hey, Pops. Forget about that and look back.
Huh?
They want to kill us.
No, don't do it, Mr. President!
I'll take care of Lupin... Whoa!
Jigen, aim at the fuel tank.
Goemon, I'm counting on you.
Leave it to me!
It's over, Lupin.
Let's go, Jigen. Angelica is waiting.
Hey, Lupin! Wait!
Whoa! Mr. President!
Angelica.
Look, Jigen.
Cute ladybugs.
Jigen, we'll be together like this forever.
We'll go to the church and have a wedding and...
Jigen! Jigen! Jigen!
I couldn't be your ladybug.
I didn't mean to run away from you.
Forgive me... Angelica.
In order to arrest me, ICPO sends an astrologer, believe it or not.
Could astrology actually reveal what I'm up to?
But she is... kinda... attractive.
