Hello. Zenigata...
Hey, Pops. How's it going?
- Uh, so-so...
- I doubt that.
You're drooling in broad daylight. It can't be "so-so."
Ah! Lupin! Is that you? Hey!
Wow!
Rock'n'roll in its birthplace is pretty cool. Fever, fever!
What the hell are you talking about at your age?
Jigen, if this rhythm does nothing for you, you're not young anymore.
You should just retire.
Don't be stupid. This is children's music.
For a long time now, classical has been the only thing I listen to.
Give me that.
Japanese blues is all there is to music.
Lupin, wait!
Oh, my! The sentimental music party has shown up.
Wait, wait! Lupin, I won't let you get away today!
You indeed have a good eye, choosing our Metropolitan Bank.
Although the United States is vast...
...you won't find an underground safe more secure than ours anywhere.
Please feel at ease with us.
Well then, please take care of it.
I'll have my secretary deliver it here.
We'll be waiting.
- Good afternoon.
- Thank you.
Good-bye.
Everything went smoothly. I wonder if Lupin is OK.
Hey, there's the horse track.
It's a dead-end. This is the end of Lupin.
Pops, it's a bit too early to be pleased.
Huh?
You bastard! Where were you looking?
Watch it, you idiot!
Damn! Lupin!
Still, what the hell is this traffic jam all about?
"Lupin Laughs at the Alarm Bell" (Hijou Bell ni Lupin wa Warau)
And the horses are out of the gates! A grand start for the Kentucky Derby!
Coming out of the first turn, who will be in the lead?
As expected, Seven Point is in the lead.
I see. It's the Derby.
This explains the traffic jam, but where'd Lupin escape to?
It's a fierce race between Seven Point and Golden Boy!
Oh, my. Golden Boy passes Seven Point and takes the lead!
And what's this?
Something is flapping on Golden Boy's tail.
- There is something written on it.
- Just a second...
I'll take all the proceeds of today's Derby. Lupin the Third "I'll take all the proceeds of today's Derby."
Crap! Lupin!
He lured me to the racetrack...
...and issued an advance notice for a robbery. How dare he!
I'll catch Lupin whatever it takes.
Inspector Zenigata, will Lupin really show up?
Yes, he will. He will appear for sure.
By the way, where are you taking the money?
To the underground safe in the Metropolitan Bank.
Metropolitan Bank? That's 50 kilometers from here.
Would you lend me your ear?
Listen, it's Lupin we are up against.
We don't know when or from where he will appear.
So keep your guard up.
Jigen, now!
Hey! What's wrong?
Well, the thing is, we're stuck!
Now, Goemon. I'm counting on you.
- Full speed ahead! - Sure.
Piece of cake!
Lupin, let's take a look at the treasure now.
Leave it to me.
A surprise from the treasure chest! Sorry, Lupin!
Damn! We got tricked.
Right now the real wads of money are being transported through...
...the sewer system, and are on their way straight to the Metropolitan Bank.
Lupin, you are under arrest. Go!
Let's get away!
Idiot! Don't shoot! We've got to capture them alive! Catch them alive!
It's blood!
Hey! Contact the Maritime Safety Agency...
...and have them search the riverbed.
Yes, sir.
It went pretty well.
Lupin, is this the best plan you could come up with?
Don't say that.
This plan's original goal was to divert Pops' attention.
Pops will be glued to the river until they find our bodies.
That's right.
Wow! Wonderful!
This is the entire collection of my jewelry.
Wow! All of this?
I'm taking an early flight back home to Japan tomorrow.
These will serve as souvenirs for my parents.
It's always good to be dutiful to one's parents.
Please rest assured.
Our safe deposit boxes are inside a large safe with a time-lock system.
We guarantee security.
Well then, we'll be on our way now.
Yes.
Please take good care of this.
Yes, as you wish.
So then, I'll be waiting at 7 AM tomorrow.
How is it? Has anything come up?
No! It's all debris.
Hmm. That's strange.
They were badly hurt. They couldn't have got far...
Ah! Could they be at the bank?
We're dealing with Lupin. Who knows what he's up to!
They must be at the bank!
- Please wait!
- Huh?
Who are you?
I'm Zenigata, from Interpol.
I see. May I ask what you need?
Well, the cash brought in from the racetrack...
...is being targeted by Lupin, the infamous thief.
And I was afraid that he might have snuck in and stolen it.
Zenigata, wasn't it? Where do you think you are?
This is Metropolitan Bank.
This is not a place any petty thief could easily sneak into.
But we're dealing with Lupin here!
Excuse me.
What's the matter?
Ah, sorry, sorry.
I was just discussing the security of the safe with this here Japanese police officer.
What do you think? The alarm system on this floor...
...is sensitive enough to detect a single handkerchief, even an insect.
Oh...
Also, the vault door has a time-lock system...
...and can't be opened until the specified time.
The proceeds from the Derby are in here. It's absolutely safe.
Anything else that you are concerned about, Mr. Zenigata?
Uh... Well...
Now, even I can't open this door until 7 AM tomorrow.
So, what about Lupin and the gang?
We haven't found them yet.
Jigen, shall we get started?
Yeah. The deadline is 7 AM tomorrow.
We can't dilly-dally.
Be careful. If we touch the floor, it's all over.
How are you gonna get over there?
Even the slightest shock will trigger the alarm.
All has been prepared for. Just watch.
That looks so dumb!
Really. This is not something a handsome guy should do.
I can't show Fujiko a sight like this.
Be careful, Lupin!
You saved us.
I wonder how they're doing now...
Did they already nab the cash?
Or maybe they've only made a hole into the safe just now?
Give it your best shot.
You are the one I'm counting on, wonderful Lupin.
- Hey, Jigen. The drill.
- All right.
Jigen, I'm sending back the drill.
Next, insert solid nitroglycerine like this.
This way, the debris won't scatter over the floor.
Ready, Jigen?
Yeah.
Hmm? Hey, didn't you hear something just now?
- Huh? Nothing really. Right?
- Right.
Must have been my imagination.
Big success!
Wow!
3:30...
Hey, Lupin. Hurry up! There's no time!
All right.
It'll be dawn soon.
Hey, haven't you found anything yet?
No. There's a rapid current here.
They might have drifted downstream.
You idiot! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Search lower downstream.
I bet they're at the bank, after all.
But with that security, even Lupin couldn't sneak in there.
How annoying! Who could it be at this hour?
Hello. Inspector Zenigata of Japan? Lupin?
Yes. That's right.
I thought he might be paying you a visit.
Don't be silly!
There is nothing unusual happening over here.
Besides, didn't you come check it out yourself this afternoon?
Didn't that satisfy you?
Still, their bodies haven't been pulled from the river yet, either.
But there's no sign of any unusual activity over here.
I know, but would you please check the inside of the big safe?
We can't, because no one can get inside until 7 AM.
Jigen, this is the last one.
Oh!
Damn! It got stuck. Crap!
Jigen, be careful. Be careful.
Uh... Damn!
I, Zenigata, have pursued Lupin for many years.
Rain or shine, all I've done has been to capture Lupin.
The only meaning to my life is to catch Lupin.
If I fail to catch him while he's within my sight...
...I'll be too ashamed to face my honorable ancestors.
I got it. I got it. We'll check inside, just in case.
- Hey.
- All right.
Hmm?
Hurry up, Lupin. Someone's coming.
I'll toss this to you.
Sure.
Saved by a hair...
Are you satisfied now?
There's not a single insect, much less any Lupin, in there!
So they are on the bottom of the river...
Inspector! Inspector!
Inspector! We found Lupin and his gang!
What?
Get out of my way! Get out! Lu... Lupin!
What the heck? These are decoys!
Damn it!
Thanks for all your hard work, Pops.
We can't let you catch us yet, Pops. Please forgive us.
By the way, this tape will automatically explode in 30 seconds.
Whoa! Everyone, get away!
Crap! Is Lupin at the bank, after all?
Thank you so much for everything.
Not at all. You're welcome back at any time.
I'll keep that in mind.
She was indeed a great client.
Lupin has paid a visit. I graciously took the Derby proceeds!
Oh, what a success!
Did you hear the bank president say, "You're welcome back"?
No more banking business without money.
Right, right.
Hey, it's a police car.
Oops! Wasn't that Pops?
Pops is working so hard, rocketing here and there.
He really does a great job on such a low salary.
Pops, good luck!
Hopping from this president to that billionaire, Mrs. Zaclyne
scoops up large sums of alimony and inheritance each time.
I first approached her for her treasures.
But, oh! I fell totally in love with her. What should I do?
