Trafalgar Square.London
Hey, did you read the paper this morning?
I knew you'd ask that.
You mean the crown Princess Mary will wear at her wedding, right?
Yeah, that. That crown...
Is called the "Imperial State Crown"...
...and was worn by Queen Victoria at her coronation.
It is also said to be the symbol of Britain.
Well, if you know that much, then...
You want to go check out London Tower, right?
Wow. I don't know if it's good to know each other that well.
There's nothing left for me to say.
*Tower Of London*
That's impressive. It's a feast for the eyes.
No, more like poison for the eyes.
I bet it would look great on Fujiko.
Lupin!
"Her Majesty's Bumbling Inspectors" (Joou-Heika no Zukkoke Keibu)
I'm sorry, Jack. Did you wait long?
No, not at all. I just got here, too, Debbie.
Really? That's good.
Damn. Must be nice.
I'm on a stake-out for Lupin.
Why, that...
Hey, what are you doing? You're under arrest for cigarette littering!
What? Hey, I'm innocent! Let me go!
Shut up. You can complain at the station.
Hey, hey, hey!
Wait! I'm Inspector Zenigata of ICPO.
Get in!
*LONDON METROPOLITAN POLICE*
I don't care if you are ICPO. Rules are rules.
I'll arrange it so you'll be released in a day or two.
I don't have time to spend a day or even a second in this place.
Lupin is preparing to steal the Imperial State Crown, you fool.
What? Lupin?
Let's see.
Dover!
See?
Dover?
Mr. Zenigata, according to regulations...
...you are to remain in custody for 4 to 10 day.
That's how it goes.
- Well, into the cage you go!
- Let me go. Let me go!
I'm innocent, I tell you. Let go of me.
There!
And keep quiet!
Dover! Pepper! You'll pay for this!
I'll file a suit against you through the General Staff Committee.
Oh, it's noon. Time for my pills.
Slimdown
Lupin, how come you're in such a good mood?
I've got a date with Fujiko.
First, we'll dine at a high-class restaurant.
Next, we'll have some Scotch.
Fujiko isn't much of a drinker, so her cheeks will get pink and she'll say...
"Lupin, I think I'm a little drunk."
Then I'll say, "Why don't we go out and feel the evening breeze?"
Then we'll walk in the foggy town of London, just like in "Waterloo Bridge."
Sounds nice, doesn't it? It's a scene from the movie.
Fujiko will look at me with her dreamy eyes and say...
"Lupin, isn't it a romantic night?"
I'll hold her shoulders gently, and...
Fine, but don't be late for the time we agreed on.
It'll go something like this. Huh?
If I arrest Lupin, I'll probably get a medal from the Queen.
Then I'll be more famous than the Beatles.
When I arrest Lupin and receive the reward money...
...I'll reserve a whole restaurant and eat until I die!
Hey, Pepper. I want to buy some chips.
Again?
That was delicious. Lupin, I think I'm a little drunk.
Really? Why don't we go out and feel the evening breeze?
Sure.
Wow, French cuisine. Damn!
You'll see. Someday I'll be in there!
Oh, my. Excuse me.
You!
Lupin! Pepper, it's Lupin!
What?
Fujiko, run!
Damn! We were so close.
Crap!
What? Really, Lupin? You'll give it to me?
Yes. Have I ever lied to you?
So, Fujiko dear...
All right, but just a kiss. You'll get the rest after I see the crown.
Sure.
It's time.
You interrupted the best part. Uncouth rascals!
Pepper, why are you trembling?
- They could come out.
- What could?
Ghosts. This place is known for ghosts, right?
Those are just crows. There are six crows living in this tower.
He has an important-looking moustache, but what a coward he is.
Let's play a little prank on him.
Dover! It's a ghost!
Listen, we don't know what method Lupin will use in attempt to get the crown.
Especially the possibility of him appearing in disguise must be accounted for.
For example, it's conceivable that he's already here, disguised as one of you.
It might be you, or it might be you.
It might be you.
This armour is also suspicious.
Dover, isn't it almost time?
About 5 more minutes.
I forgot to mention this, everyone. Inspector Zenigata will soon come...
...to relieve us from guard duty.
No one alive knows as much about Lupin as he does.
We can safely leave the security in his hands.
Pops, huh?
Excuse me. I need to go to the bathroom.
- Fine.
- Make it quick.
Yes, sir.
Sorry I'm late, Inspectors Pepper and Dover.
All is fine, now that I'm here.
Please leave the security of the crown to me and go home to get some rest.
Well then, please take care of it, Mr. Zenigata.
I'll come to the station with Lupin tomorrow.
You can come with me if you want, Lupin.
- Huh?
- Get him!
Arrest him!
What are you doing? I'm Zenigata.
You fell right into our trap, Lupin.
Inspector Zenigata is in a cell at Scotland Yard.
Crap!
Hey, Lupin! Sorry, but we're retreating!
Pepper. It's pepper! Take that. It's pepper!
- It's pepper! Atchoo!
- Atchoo!
Lupin, now! Run for it!
Don't let them get away!
It closed.
Crap!
Go, Lupin!
Don't let him escape!
Crap! He escaped again!
You failed, Lupin? Your level of skill certainly has decreased!
W-w-w-wait a minute. Wait a minute, Fujiko.
Lupin!
You didn't make another stupid promise to Fujiko, did you?
Did you?
What? Heaven forbid.
What's wrong, guys? You're making such scary faces.
They don't suit good men like you.
Why do I have to go through this?
This has to be Lupin's doing.
Damn!
"Dear Pepper and Dover, Yesterday I was taken for a sucker.
"But I haven't given up yet. Dear Pepper and Dover...
"...I will come for the crown at the wedding of the princess.
"Lupin the Third"
Damn you, Lupin!
*West Minster Abbey*
Well!
Well, what are you eating?
Oh, you mean this?
This is called "omusubi". It's typical Japanese food. (omusubi: rice ball)
Huh? Hmm...
Would you like to try one?
What? Oh, I'm imposing.
But maybe I'll take one as a conversation piece.
This is good!
If you want, please have another.
- Are you sure?
- Sure, sure.
Please excuse me.
It's time for my pills. As we Brits say, "Be punctual."
We live in accordance with Big Ben.
Water, water.
If you need water, please use this.
Thanks for taking care of anything and everything for me.
I'm a little chubby, so I take slimming pills.
I see. He takes his pills at the noon bell.
By the way, what are you doing here, old man?
Uh, yes. I wanted to tour this Westminster Abbey here...
...but I couldn't get inside because of the Princess's wedding.
So I'm wallowing in disappointment.
Oh, I see. That's because it's on special alert right now.
OK, I'll give you a special pass to thank you for the omusubi.
Oh, my. Thank goodness. Then I'll give you this omusubi, too.
Really? You will?
What a glutton.
Come on, I'll show you the way.
Oh, thank you so much.
Most of the British royalty are entombed here.
Oh!
My goodness. That's amazing.
Being buried here is considered the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a commoner.
I might be buried here if I catch Lupin.
I think that goes without saying!
This is the portrait of Queen Victoria. She is wearing the same crown...
...that Princess Mary will wear at her wedding tomorrow.
I'll definitely take your crown.
This is the grand stage where Princess Mary will be married.
Oh!
My goodness! This is indeed a wonderful building.
- Uh, Mr. Old Man?
- Yes, sir?
I'm busy today, so is this good enough for you?
Oh, yes. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule.
No, thank you for giving me such unusual food.
Unless you let me out of here now, the crown will be stolen for sure.
Oh, you can calm down.
He failed at London Tower where it was on display...
...and ran away with his tail between his legs.
You people can only say that because you don't know him.
Once he sees his prey, he nails it!
Do you want to see him that much?
Of course!
Then wait till tomorrow. I'll put both of you in the same cage.
Hey, wait. Please wait a moment.
Oh, my. This is pretty grandiose.
We will now commence the wedding ceremony...
...of Royal Princess Mary and Sir Bond...
No way. We just heard the 11:00 bell a little while ago.
12 o'clock? Time for my pills.
What are you saying now?
If Big Ben says it's noon...
...then it's noon. Water, water.
Unbelievable!
This must be a curse!
What happened, Pepper? Get a hold of yourself!
- The crown has been stolen!
- Damn, it's Lupin!
Lupin, leave this to me and run.
Thanks.
Lupin, I won't let you get away!
Damn! Lupin is about to cross Tower Bridge.
Dover, place an emergency call!
This is Dover. Raise Tower Bridge immediately.
Hey, that's Fujiko's chopper. She worries about me, after all.
That's Lupin!
Lupin, wait!
Oh, Pops! What are you doing in there?
Wait, Lupin!
Fujiko dear, thank you. I'll bring you the crown right now.
Fujiko, I'm sorry. It fell.
Lupin, you idiot! I don't even want to see your face.
Hey, stop, stop! Stop, I said!
This should bring Lupin's Fujiko-fever down a bit.
Yes.
How long do they intend to let me hang up here?
We execute a plan to rob horse racing proceeds.
First, we attack the armored car and fail.
But it was just an act. Don't worry, we have an exceptional plan ready!
What will the results be?
