*Stockholm*
I'm Zenigata from Japan. I'm tired. I'll arrest you if you don't give me a ride.
Please get in.
It's 10 o'clock at night, but it's still light outside. Why is that?
Because of the midnight sun, Inspector.
I know that!
I'm asking you why I can't sleep!
It's probably because it's too bright. Please use this.
Huh?
We hear you've come all the way from Japan pursuing Lupin, Inspector.
What? Lupin? Where?
I can't see anything! It's dark! What is this? How come I can't see?
I can't see anything. Is this the end of the world?
It's because you have the eye-mask on, Inspector.
Oh, I guess you're right.
The midnight sun is so annoying!
Why did Lupin come here, Inspector?
That bastard seems to be planning an escape to the North Pole.
From a secret North Pole base, he plans to escape to the moon.
So I've sent an urgent telegram to the chief...
...requesting a rocket to be prepared immediately in order to pursue Lupin.
I'll go to the moon on the rocket.
And I will arrest that bastard.
He'll probably try to escape with the three-loop somersault...
...but I'll counter that with the moon somersault.
Do you understand?
Ah. That blindfolded guy looks like Pops.
Poor guy. He must have done something wrong and got busted.
Hi. Thank you for your hard work. Can I borrow your lighter?
You can't smoke here.
Ah! I totally forgot! Sorry.
That laughter...
Hey, wait! Lupin!
He must have escaped to the other side of the moon!
Damn it!
Calm down, Inspector. You're on Earth.
Was it a dream? I slept very well. Thank you.
You're welcome.
That midnight sun sure is annoying!
Hey! What are you doing? Let go! I'm telling you to let go of me!
"Shoot into the Midnight Sun" (Byakuya ni Mukatte Ute)
So, you're saying that two babes will appear in the season of the midnight sun.
Right. Latika and Anita.
Ah! Those twin female spies?
The jealous sisters who always fight. One raised in the East, the other in the West.
Right. But their squabbling will end this summer.
- Why is that? - I will help them reconcile.
Don't even bother...
Then I can get my hands on the Viking treasure worth 2 billion krones.
Yeah, right.
Well, you'll see.
Is that you, Anita?
Yes, Latika.
You look good.
People have been telling me that I look prettier than ever these days.
That's too bad.
Why?
Because you'll die soon.
Well, we'll see about that.
Do you remember the rule?
Yes. No shooting in the back.
It's almost 10 o'clock now.
OK. I'm ready.
Here we go!
Thanks a lot!
Damn!
Your skills have improved, Latika.
Yours, too, Anita.
The treasure of Blemmatte will be mine!
I doubt that.
Who are you?
Why did you get in our way?
Isn't that obvious?
It's not a pleasant sight when pretty girls fight.
What?
Lupin!
If you still wanna fight, use Rock, Paper, Scissors.
That won't solve anything.
If you go beyond that, I will have to intervene.
Both of you, stay right there.
That's it for tonight!
See you tomorrow!
Goemon, did you plant those high-frequency microphones on them?
It insults me you need to ask.
What do you want from me, Lupin?
I want to help you, Latika.
Hiring help isn't against the rules, is it?
But I thought you were against us fighting.
Up until a little while ago. But I feel different now.
I decided to take your side against Anita.
- Do you have a crush on me? - Yes.
I'm OK. I can do it by myself.
No, you can't.
Why?
Look at your belt. A tiny microphone is attached, right?
What?
We attached another one to Anita.
That's how we know that a tough guy named Shirage is helping Anita.
- Shirage? - Yes.
That's why you need me on your side. To keep it fair.
I don't need a reward, either.
A kiss from you is enough, when this is all over.
Really?
Thought I wouldn't mind if you kissed me now, too.
Have you made up your mind?
Shirage, I can do it by myself.
That won't do.
Why not?
Latika hired Lupin to help.
What did you say?
What do you want?
Let's see. For starters, I'll settle for 100,000 krones.
There are huge bounties offered for Lupin's head all over the world.
Lupin is preparing by sending his partner to eavesdrop on us.
All right.
Good. Come to my lodge at ten o'clock tomorrow night. We'll work on our plan.
All right. Tomorrow night, 10 o'clock.
Hey, Lupin. Just stop. Wash your hands of it.
Shirage is not an ordinary guy.
Oh, really?
You know, I don't get scared out of my wits that often.
Now, chills are still running down my spine.
Yeah. Yeah. You getting a cold?
Are you listening to me, Lupin?
Damn it! Just do whatever you like!
No wonder he feels the chills.
You've come.
Ten o'clock. Right on time.
First I want you to put on a bulletproof suit.
It's the kind you wear directly on your skin, like a wet suit.
Take your clothes off and put it on.
I have it all ready for you behind the curtain.
All right.
I got it!
This is reflective plastic.
Get it?
I got a clear shot of your backs...
...and of the two tattoos that reveal the location of the treasure!
- Lupin! - Lupin!
- Wait! Lupin! - Wait! Lupin!
It's no use running after him.
You two are no match for him.
I can help you, but only if you make up.
Georg.
So these are the maps tattooed on their backs.
At the end of the 10th century...
...there was a Viking by the name of Blemmatte...
...who pillaged from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.
There are many stories of Vikings...
...who have lost their lives searching for the hidden treasure of Blemmatte.
It is said that an ungodly amount of gold, coins and jewels are hidden in a cave somewhere.
One day a poor fisherman came across the treasure.
That was 20 years ago.
He was the father of Latika and Anita, Bjorn Bizby.
He was a strange man.
Although it was right in front of his eyes, he never touched a single gold coin.
He was just content knowing that he was the wealthiest man in the world.
Just before he died, he told his daughters the secret whereabouts of the treasure.
He had a scientist develop a machine with a special laser beam.
It was a ridiculous device!
When they are exposed to this beam of light...
...a pattern appears, only at 10 PM...
...and only during certain 4 or 5 days in the midnight sun season.
Those few days coincide with the summer solstice.
Huh! That's ridiculous! I don't believe it.
That's what most people would think.
Here it is, look!
Oh! That's Dwarf Island!
What are you gonna do?
- What else? I'll take the treasure. - Why?
If we leave them be, one of them will be killed by the other's greed.
It's like we are saving their lives.
Besides...
Besides... What?
Besides, we're thieves, right?
Bingo!
Look!
We've been spotted!
Well, don't worry.
The Baltic Sea is full of ships from the naval forces of many nations.
Thank you very much for your cooperation, Captain.
I can sleep well, since it's always nighttime in a submarine.
It's such a tiny island.
The island may be small, but it's loaded with treasure.
Today is the summer solstice.
Look. Those fires have been lit in celebration of the Midsummer's Eve.
- Heave-ho! Heave-ho! - Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Heave-ho!
Hey, this guy Bizby must have been a real airhead.
Why?
Because this place is easy to spot.
Someone could have seen him burying the treasure.
He hid it in an unexpected place.
Maybe he hid it in the middle of the night.
You talk as if you were there.
No, but I heard it from a most reliable source.
Georg, the one who invented the ridiculous tattooing beam.
He's the one who told me...
..."If you help them reconcile, I will give you the treasure."
So, have those two reconciled yet?
Yeah, I guess they have.
If not, no deal.
They did! They've reconciled!
They sure did! They did! Heave-ho!
Yes, they did. Heave-ho!
What?
Uh! You don't want it, huh? OK, then. That's fine with me!
I won't share with you when I find it.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
It's almost 10 o'clock.
They're gradually appearing.
They disappeared!
The ones we just saw are the real maps that indicate the location of the treasure.
They'll never appear again.
The special beams I invented...
...show false maps instead of real maps.
The real ones appear only for a brief period on this very night.
We'll split Blemmatte's treasure in four equal parts.
Agreed?
You ladies, too?
- Yes. - Yes.
Huh? That's...
Huh? What is it?
Latika!
Anita!
Fujiko and Georg!
Lupin! These are the real maps!
You beat me, Fujiko!
Hey, this isn't the time to laugh, Lupin!
Look at that!
Tor-torpedo?
Lupiiiiiin!
It's Pops again! Doesn't he have anything else to do?
Wait, Lupin! I won't let you get away this time!
Lupin! Waaaaaaaait!
A professional assassin, Puma,
has never missed a target.
Now he's after me.
I've never had such a powerful enemy.
I wonder if the jig is up.
