*Miami Beach*
Hey, Jigen. You must have done something bad again.
- A police car is following us.
- No, I didn't do anything wrong.
Oh, yeah? Who took a leak on Palm Beach last night?
Huh? You did that, too!
Well...
What?
Hey, it's the end of the world, Lupin.
What the hell is going on?
What? Pops is chasing us?
Right. And that's not all.
I know. I know.
And... Pops has a babe riding with him, right?
Bingo!
It's good for Pops to enjoy that kind of thing every once in a while.
Let's send him some flowers or something later.
Right. As you wish.
Hey, my chronic syndrome must be kicking in again.
This must be a dream!
No. It's not a dream. That's the real Fujiko Mine.
But when did Fujiko dear turn into a lady cop?
Huh! How am I supposed to know?
Oh, I got it!
That guy must be somebody impersonating Pops.
Fujiko likes to play this kind of tricks.
Hey, wake up, Lupin.
Fujiko Mine is that kind of woman.
She wouldn't lose any sleep over selling us out!
Stop that!
Ah! I don't care anymore.
I don't care anymore! I don't care!!
That Lupin!
He saw you sitting next to me, and went completely nuts.
Hurry up and catch him.
Don't be so hasty. There is a correct procedure for everything.
Pull over, Lupin! Puma is after you!
It's safer to let the police arrest you!
Fujiko is absolutely right, Lupin!
Do you think I would let you get killed by an assassin like Puma?
Stop! Surrender peacefully and accept my handcuffs!
Ah, ouch, ouch...
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
He said "Puma."
Hmm. He's someone I have wanted to encounter at least once.
You've gotta be kidding. I'm out.
Let's take a look at his police data file and find out who exactly Puma is.
Criminal File Number 1058.
Code name: Puma.
In the 1960's, he successfully assassinated...
...government VIP's of Central and South American and African nations.
He has no accomplices, and his modus operandi is ingenious.
Despite their desperate efforts, no secret investigation agency...
...has ever been able to locate him.
None of his abilities particularly stand out.
However, that's only because he excels in every murderous skill imaginable.
No one even knows what he looks like.
A professional assassin.
If this guy is after me, I won't be able to sleep at night.
So, I guess I'll stay up.
Look, this is no time for jokes!
Hah! He is welcome anytime!
"Lupin Dies Twice" (Lupin wa Nido Shinu)
This is Zenigata. We are in pursuit at Point #2.
Please send Highway Patrol to Point #3 immediately.
Do you think you can catch Lupin that easily?
Hold your horses.
For Lupin and his many tricks, orthodox tactics are most effective.
I wonder...
Aye-yi-yi!
This is it, Lupin!
Hey, Pops!
Don't move! I will guarantee your safety.
I'll make sure Puma doesn't get you!
I'm sorry, Lupin. But please let him catch you just this once.
If I get caught, would you stay with me forever, Fujiko dear?
Well, why?
Because of love!
Who loves whom?
You.
Oh, yeah? Whom?
You love ME!
Uh! What nerve!
Shut up! Both of you!
Take your time discussing that in prison.
Now surrender and accept the handcuffs!
Well then, take care!
Maybe your strategy was a little too orthodox, Pops.
Bye!
Wait!
- Ouch! - Ouch!
That Lupin! He outwitted me again!
I told you so.
Fujiko dear!
You look great in that uniform...
...but the next time we meet, please wear a bikini!
If you were Puma, where would you get me from?
I am not Puma.
That's why I said "if."
Probably from the boat by the dock or the lighthouse on the cape.
But the boat is unstable, and the lighthouse is too far away.
Of course, it's a different story at night.
If you're in a room with the light on, it's an easy shot to take from anywhere.
Hmm.
Crap! How dare he!
Hey! Come out, Puma!
You've made it clear that you're only targeting Lupin!
But it's not right if you don't show your face!
You coward! Be a man and show us your face!
Hey. Give me some wine. Whoa!
That's why I told you to stay back.
That bastard! Where is he?
He's probably at the lighthouse.
He's unbelievably skilled, being able shoot so accurately from so far away!
Crap!
OK. And make sure it's high quality.
The epitaph should read...
"Here lies Lupin the Third, with love for Fujiko Mine."
Just kidding!
Where is the cemetery?
West End? OK, that's fine.
Good. Thanks.
Who did you call?
A mortician.
Huh. So, whose funeral is it?
It's mine, of course!
What?
I'm sick of being cooped up in this place.
I'd rather go ahead and get killed facing him.
Sounds to me like you're chickening out.
Against that monster, I have no chance to win.
I want my coffin to match my taste.
Don't be so hasty. There must be something else we can do, Lupin.
I will launch a night attack tonight.
Shut up, damn it!
That bastard is only after me! Dammit!
I'll take care of this by myself.
Stay out of it.
Wait!
Now what?
Hmm?
- It's a wiretap microphone.
- Oops. I wonder if he was listening.
Don't you feel foolish, Lupin?
He heard you ordering your coffin. It's not like you, Lupin.
It couldn't be helped.
Come on, Puma! Attack me from anywhere!
Where are you?
"Here lies Lupin the Third, with love for Fujiko Mine."
So you were listening. Puma! Show your face!
My face? Well, it might be worth it to get to see it once.
But only one person knows my face.
- Whoever ordered you to kill me?
- That's right.
But he, too, will soon die.
Why?
Because I don't want anyone to know my face.
Kill your client, as well? You're cruel.
That's the way I do business...
- Where are you?
- Over here!
Turn around!
- Lupin! Lupin! - Lupin! Lupin!
Hey!
Lupin! Hang in there! Lupin! Lupin!
This can't be true!
There is nothing I can do.
The cause of death was bullets penetrating his heart.
Don't lie! Lupin cannot die!
Everybody dies.
Hello.
Who are you?
Is this Mr. Lupin's house?
I have brought a top quality, oak coffin.
- Puma! Where are you? - Puma! Come out!
Puma! Show your face!
Lupin! You idiot!
Chief, is it true that Lupin was shot?
Would you like to see the body now, or interrogate Lupin's partners first?
See the body?
Chief, what in the world are you saying?
- It is the greatest insult to me!
- Huh?
I bet it's nothing but a wax doll!
Huh! Let me see how well you did this time, Lupin.
Pretending to be dead.
Go ahead and open it.
- You're under arrest, Lupin.
- Lupin!
You're under arrest! I'm saying you're under arrest!
Hey, Lupin! What do you think you're doing? Wake up!
Don't pretend to be dead. I'm not gonna be tricked.
Hey, wake up! Wake up!!
Inspector Zenigata. That's disgraceful.
Lu-Lupin! What is this?
You can't be dead!
Why do you think I've been chasing you all this time?
You were my reason to live! You were my dearest friend!
What am I gonna do now, Lupin?
- Inspector Zenigata!
- Shut up!
Puma! Come out! Where are you?
I swear I'm gonna shoot you dead!
Arrest him! They're all crazy!
If they resist, shoot them!
Hey, Pops.
You bastards! I thought you were Lupin's partners!
Damn it!
How could you let Lupin die? Huh?
What were you two doing?
I know, Lupin. Don't worry.
This is Puma. Come in, Tiger.
This is Tiger. Come in.
Lupin's dead.
Are you positive?
I witnessed his burial.
All right. As promised, I'll give you remaining half of the money.
I'll send a yacht off the coast. 10 PM.
Make sure you're alone.
All right.
"Here lies Lupin the Third, with love for Fujiko Mine."
"Just kidding..."
It's almost time for the medicine to wear off, and he'll wake up.
But won't he suffocate?
I put plenty of oxygen in there.
It's reckless of him to have himself buried in a state of temporary coma.
Ahhh... I slept very well.
Lupin, are you awake?
Yes, my dearest Fujiko!
Ouch!
That's not nice, Fujiko dear! Did you read this beautiful epitaph?
"Here lies Lupin the Third, with love for Fujiko Mine."
- "Just kidding," right?
- Just kid... What?
Hey, mortician!
I just carved what you told me.
Now hurry up and get out!
Or shall I bury you underground for real?
Take it easy. Whoa!
You're such useless partners! We're letting you go!
I have some things to return to you.
Here!
What's going on?
You still don't get it?
Boo!
Don't be afraid. I'm really alive and kicking!
See?
You bastard! How on earth did you come back to life?
They say that to deceive your enemies, you must first deceive your allies.
Unforgivable! I'll cut you in half!
Hold on! If you want to slash me, do so after we get Puma.
Do you know where he is?
Yeah. When he blew up his boat...
I saw him jump into a hidden boat and speed away.
That boat's bound to give us a clue of his whereabouts.
The money, as promised.
Good.
So, did Lupin say anything when he died?
Nothing.
Who is it?
That's the old guy I years ago swindled for the gold buried in the ocean.
He never recovered and went crazy from rage.
That voice!
I'm honored you recognize my voice, Puma.
Lupin! It can't be!
Turn around!
Rest in peace, Puma, with love from Lupin.
