My, what an unusual ring you're wearing.
This is a micro precision safe...
...that my husband had custom-made...
...by the master safe builder, Marukin.
Ah, if it's made by Marukin...
...you have nothing to worry about!
That's why I can keep this inside...
Wow! It's amazing!
Take care.
We had a lovely time.
Take care now.
It's exhausting to entertain our loyal customers.
Well, the party is over now!
- Well, there is still one guest left. - Huh?
Hey! Bring me another drink!
Hmm, she is pretty drunk.
What shall we do, dear?
Take good care of your customers.
Uh, Ma'am?
Everybody else has gone...
...so why don't you...
Ma'am, it's about that time.
So you are telling me...
...to go home?
No! Please take your time!
Good! That's what I wanted to hear!
I will take my own sweet time!
I still have work to do, so feel free to go to bed without me.
Look, Master Marukin!
See how easily your great micro safe...
...was broken into!
And the micro safe wasn't the only safe robbed!
"Lupin the Third" That one, too!
"Lupin the Third" And that one!
And this one, too.
Look!
"Lupin the Third"
These are all your custom-made Marukin safes!
Lupin!
Look, he even stole my beloved wife's heart!
"Can the 10-Year Vault Be Broken?" (Jyuunen Kinko Wa Yabureru ka)
Marukin Safe, Inc. Bankrupt! Lupin to Blame
It says that Marukin Safe Company is going bankrupt...
...because of Lupin. It's you.
Me?
What do you mean, Jigen?
It says...
"Since Lupin broke into their safes so easily...
...returned merchandise is pouring in."
No wonder they were forced into bankruptcy.
Lupin, you do such terrible things.
Don't say that, Fujiko dear.
I didn't mean to make Marukin go bankrupt.
I know.
While you were away from Japan...
...Marukin-brand safes became highly reputable for their invulnerability.
So, you just wanted to test your skills.
Isn't that right?
Right as always, Fujiko dear. You understand me so well!
Lupin...
It seems you tested your skills with women, too.
Oh, no!
What the hell are you talking about, Jigen?
I just lost my game, thanks to you!
It also says...
"The wealthy lady fell completely in love with Lupin."
- Goodness, Lupin! - No-no-no, Fujiko dear!
She felt that way on her own. I did nothing to encourage it!
I doubt that!
We're through, Lupin!
If you're not more careful with your skill tests...
...you're gonna get hurt bad one of these days, Lupin.
You are absolutely right. Twinkle, twinkle, little star...
Lupin, damn you!
Because of Lupin...
...we are flooded with returned merchandise.
A-ha! I still have the 10-year safe in the Mitsuboshi Bank!
The safe that opens only once each decade.
The safe's day of opening is approaching.
Before it is opened...
...I will challenge Lupin to open it.
Even Lupin will never be able to crack it!
If he can't open it, my name will be cleared.
Then the Marukin Safe business will thrive again!
Haneda International Airport
Ah, it is nice to be back in Japan!
Damn! I've lost track of Lupin.
I'm gonna get in trouble with my boss.
To Lupin: Challenge the Marukin 10-year safe!
Hey, what are you doing?
What?
"To Lupin: Challenge the Marukin 10-year safe!"
Lupin's back in Japan!
Oh, crap! Old man Marukin is very persistent.
What are you gonna do, Lupin?
Let sleeping dogs lie. You'd be wise not to take it.
I can't just turn down a challenge!
But they say the safe will never open.
There is no way you can win.
That's all the more reason why I must take the challenge.
But, Lupin, no matter how hard we try, it's impossible.
When the impossible happens, logic goes out the window.
So why don't we throw it into the back alley?
Mitsuboshi Bank
Zenigata of the Police Department...
...reporting for duty! Thank you for your call.
I appreciate the help in spite of your busy schedule.
But it is stupid of him to challenge Lupin.
Yes, indeed.
I am very upset right now.
Don't worry, President.
Master Marukin!
What have you done to us?
Don't worry!
Even Lupin can't crack this safe!
Master!
We had a board meeting, wherein we decided...
...that we will never again use your company's safes!
President, I do not take to jokes well.
In ten minutes...
...the safe's door will open for the first time in ten years.
If the content is untouched...
...that means Lupin has not been able to crack it, right?
But, Master, the safe...
...has already been broken into!
- What? - What did you say?
What do you mean?
Master Marukin, your pride, the 10-year safe...
...has been broken into by Lupin!
You have got to be kidding me!
The safe's combination...
...cannot be solved even by the most advanced computers!
And the safe can't be melted, even with a nuclear bomb!
I devoted my entire career as a safe-maker...
...into making that safe impenetrable.
Are you saying that a greenhorn like Lupin could open it that easily?
Lupin. He makes the impossible possible.
He's driven to do what nobody else can accomplish.
He is extremely stubborn and cantankerous.
Even you, Inspector! What are you saying?
All this talk isn't getting us anywhere!
So let me see my safe!
All right.
Here you go, Master!
It's impossible!
How could this happen?
I can't believe it!
This safe has a 20-year warranty...
...right, Master?
The contract states that if it is broken into...
...the cost of the safe will be fully refunded, doesn't it?
Still, because he challenged the world-famous Lupin the Third...
...the reliable image of the safe has now been shattered.
I have to see Lupin...
...to ask him what kind of tool he used to break into this safe!
I must see Lupin! Inspector!
Where's Lupin's hiding place?
Lupin... LUPIN!
I need to meet Lupin!
Ah! I have to meet Lupin!
It's all over, Inspector Zenigata.
You can leave now.
Well, I am also to blame.
I trusted in the Master's safe so much...
...that I didn't set up enough security.
But since we are dealing with Lupin...
...the police would've been of no help, anyway.
I will catch Lupin, no matter what!
Excuse me, please!
Yahoo! We finally did it!
Hey, Jigen, you can come out now!
So, Zenigata is back in Japan.
When Pops first came in, I was shocked.
Hey, Lupin.
It's about time for the 10-year safe to open.
Oh, that's right.
Let's see.
First, we have to remove the fake door.
A fake door. What a great idea, Lupin!
Ah! Another ten seconds.
Nine seconds.
8... 7... 6...
5... 4... 3...
2... 1...
Zero!
Ah. It is nice to be back in Japan.
I feel a sense of history that other countries can't offer.
Young man, why are you following me?
So, you already noticed me.
I'm impressed, Ms. Fujiko Mine.
What?
How come you know my name?
This is how.
My goodness! This photo is...
I borrowed it from Inspector Zenigata.
What?
Who on earth are you?
Marukin's son, Jotaro.
What?
Then you are the famous safe-making master's...
Would you please introduce me to Mr. Lupin?
To Lupin?
I have to meet Mr. Lupin...
...who broke into my father's safe.
What are you going to do when you meet him?
I want to talk about a lot of things.
I respect Mr. Lupin!
Respect Lupin?
Don't worry.
Nobody is following us.
That's why I brought him here.
I figured it's safe, since he's just a kid.
Huh!
It's funny that the son of a safe maker...
...respects the safe cracker.
By the way, where is Lupin?
Uh, he is in the sauna.
So what do you want to talk about?
Why did you target only the safes made by my father?
Could you tell me?
Well, there was no reason.
But it couldn't have been for NO reason. There must be something.
Nope. Nothing at all.
Is that right?
Hot, hot, hot!
Don't fool around with that.
What was your purpose?
Nothing.
Ah! Hot! Hot!
You little rat!
What was your purpose?
OK, OK! By breaking into your dad's safe...
...I just wanted to test my skills.
Ahh! Hot, hot, hot!!
Then that's it? Just to test your skills?
That's right!
Hot! Hot! Hot!!
Stop it! Stop it!
To you it was just testing your skills...
...but our lives depend on his work!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
So what? You bastard!
You used such a dirty trick.
It wasn't fair!
Don't be ridiculous!
If I tried, I could've easily cracked that safe.
But if I did that, your father would've been ruined!
Then the result would have been the same as now.
My father is now sick in bed because of you!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Cut it out!!
Hey, little guy, quit it!
What the hell do you want me to do?
Without using any tricks...
...I want you to compete fair and square.
I've already told you!
Breaking into the 10-year safe is a cinch for me!
Piece of cake!
You have to break into a safe that I've created.
Yours, little guy?
Don't make me laugh.
You can challenge me...
...after you've become a bit more famous.
You are accepting my challenge, right?
Please turn down the heat!
You're gonna turn me into a steamed bun!
You are accepting my challenge, right?
Turn down the heat!
You are accepting my challenge, right?
Turn down the heat!
Now you are going to accept my...
No, I'm not going to!
I see.
AHH!! Hot! Hot! Hot!!
Mr. Lupin, I'll make sure you accept the challenge of cracking my safe.
So, little guy...
...this is revenge for your father.
You'd better go home.
You are no match for Lupin.
I agree.
You'd better go home, before it's too late.
Did you really think Lupin would take you seriously?
You guys think that I'm not capable of making safes.
Take a look at these.
These are handcuff-shaped safes.
These are pretty good.
You are indeed the son of Marukin.
But you still can't match Lupin's talent.
Hey, Fujiko.
Can you get the darts off the target?
What are you doing, little guy?
Take these off now!
The safes will never come off without cutting off your hands...
...or using the key.
Well, then, take them off now!
Unfortunately, I don't have the key with me.
Hey, little guy.
You're going a bit too far.
Take the handcuffs off her, now.
As I said...
...they won't come off without the key.
Oh, no! Please take these off now!
Hey, where is the key?
It's inside the safe I made.
What?
Then we can't get the key until we open the safe!
Then shall we cut Fujiko's hands off?
What are you saying?
You moron, Goemon!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
If we can't cut her hands off...
Are you ready, little guy?
Wait, Goemon.
Lupin!
It's just a safe made by a kid.
There is nothing to fret over.
It seems that the little guy...
...really wants to challenge me with his safe.
That's right.
Here we go!
If you want me to accept the challenge...
...gain some recognition and train more, little guy.
If I beat Lupin the Third, then I can be famous.
But what notoriety do I get...
...from breaking into your safe, little guy?
Oh, please, Lupin. Please.
Open his safe and get the key quick!
Well, just be patient.
It will take no time for me...
....to take this kiddy stuff off of you.
Let's see your hands.
They won't come off that easily.
You're never at a loss for words, little guy.
Lupin, not yet?
Well, don't rush me, Fujiko dear.
Hey, are you all right, Lupin?
Ah, well, it's just taking a bit longer than usual...
...since they're pretty sturdy.
Wow. That hits the spot!
That juice tastes really good.
Especially after being steamed by the little guy.
Mr. Lupin.
Now you have no choice but to accept my challenge.
Why is that?
Because I've put poison in your juice.
Whaaaaaat?
You little punk!
The antidote for the poison is also inside the safe.
What?
You little monkey!
Enough jokes for today!
Wait, Goemon!
The Lupin name would be tarnished...
...if I had to threaten a kid to get a safe open.
You don't have time for this, Lupin!
The poison is starting to kick in.
Lupin!
Then you will accept my challenge?
I have no choice. Take me to the safe!
Hurry! Hurry up! The safe!
Are we at the safe yet?
Hey, little guy!
Is the safe still far away?
Over there!
Whaaaaat? What the hell is this?
Is this a safe?
It looks like an egg monster.
Removing all the known shortcomings of safes...
...this is the shape that resulted.
Of course, there is no front or back to this.
But it's designed to open...
...with one easy method.
Let me handle this.
Jigen, stop it!
Jigen. Stop it.
Your Magnum doesn't seem to be working.
Then, my secret sword skill: The Kabuto split!
The Kabuto split didn't work, either.
Ok, that's fine. Nobody do anything.
Lupin, hurry up before the poison takes full effect.
I know! Don't rush me!
Hey. Are you all right, Lupin?
Well, are you going to give in to me?
Who would give in to some kid like you?
I won't give in.
Lupin! It's impossible.
Why don't you give in?
I will never give in, even if it kills me!
That's right.
Don't expose yourself to dishonor, Lupin.
What are you saying, Goemon? Are you trying to kill him?
Damn!
My eyes are getting blurry!
It's getting hopeless.
Are you sure this egg monster will open?
It sure will, with just few simple magic words.
Damn it!
"Open, Sesame!"
Will that work, or what?
It opened!
Here you go, Lupin.
This is the antidote!
It was designed to open with "Open, Sesame!"
I've lost, Mr. Lupin.
Hey, little guy.
After more training...
...I will create a safe to rival your talent...
...and challenge you again.
Little guy.
Your father is a respectable safe maker.
And so are you.
In this match, it's us who lost.
Thank you, Miss Fujiko.
I will tell my father what you've just said.
Lupin. About the Marukin 10-year safe...
Do you think we could have cracked it without using a trick?
I don't think so.
The safe his son made gave us such a hard time...
I would never have been able to open it.
Ah, the victory of the love between father and son.
Open, Sesame! Right here!
Open a little bit!
Lupin! You pervert!!
It didn't work this time.
Due to a blunder, Fujiko and I were pursued by this country's military,
and we hid up inside a castle.
There are thousands of troops everywhere.
I have never been in such a pinch in my entire life!
Damn it! I can't die in this kind of place!
