Is it the White House that you want, Fujiko?
There is nothing I want in there.
What did you want to talk about, Fujiko dear?
Every time you ask me out, you never fail to trick me or betray me.
I wish you'd bring me good news, at least once in a while.
It's better to be tricked than to trick.
You're right, but still...
Aye-yi-yi! What the heck is this?
It's the Black House.
The Black House?!
Don Kecchi had it constructed after the White House.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
And? You wanted to tell me about Mr. Don Kecchi?
Right. He's the richest man in America.
Take a look at this.
Hmm, let me see. Don Kecchi makes a big announcement?
He donates all his assets to charity.
It is estimated to be 100 billion dollars!
That's about 20 trillion yen!
20 trillion yen?!
So, don't you think it's a great gig?
Why don't we work together?
Oooh... you know I have a soft spot for you, Fujiko dear.
You'll do what I ask you to do, darling?
But you know what?
I stay away from murder and honest money, no matter what.
That's my policy, you know.
If you must choose between me and your policy...
I am definitely more important to you, right?
Of course, my policy is...
I've known you for a long time, but this is the end. Good-bye!
Hey, Fujiko, wait!
Hey, please wait!
Fujiko! Come on, Fujiko!
Don't get mad at me! Let's try and work this out!
Fuji... Ugh! What?
I can't breathe! Lupin, help me!
Lupin!
All right! I'll rescue you right away!
She disappeared.
My dearest Fujiko.
"A Trap for a Trap!" (Wana niwa Wana wo)
Ouch! Ouch! Can't you do it a little more gently?
It means this is not a dream. Be patient.
At any rate, I just can't believe it.
Are you saying I'm lying or something? Oh, it hurts!
First of all, there has to be a good reason to kidnap Fujiko Mine.
What's the matter, Goemon?
Oh! This is the same fog!
The same fog that took Fujiko away!
It's just an ordinary fog!
No, it's not.
There you are, Monster!
Hear me out, if you don't want Fujiko Mine killed.
Goemon, move over!
Wait, Jigen. Fujiko is in their hands.
Fujiko Mine will be returned in exchange for Don Kecchi's fortune.
Don Kecchi's fortune?
Lupin, you should be able to steal it from his mansion.
I'll give you two days.
If you can't steal it within two days, consider Fujiko Mine dead.
Who in the world is that monster?
Do you believe me now?
Why would a monster want money?
The person who manipulates the monster would want money.
That Lupin... I was mildly impressed with his character...
but I guess he has finally stooped to becoming a petty thief.
What do you think, Inspector Zenigata? Do you believe me now?
It's like Lupin to give a warning before he comes to steal from you, but...
Is something bothering you?
He's the kind of thief who never steals from good people.
Do you mean to tell me that I'm a bad guy because Lupin is after me?
Oh, absolutely NOT! You donated all your money to charity.
Only a good person would do such a thing.
Right! People call me a miser or Scrooge...
but it's not like I've enjoyed saving money.
I understand, sir. Now that I'm here...
I won't let Lupin steal even one cent from you!
That bastard Lupin! That does it!
I will not go easy on Lupin!
L-L-Lupin! You bastard!
Hey!
Wait!
Lupin, I know too well that you can't commit murder.
Lupin, I'll leave the rest for you.
Wait, Fujiko! Are you betraying us?
Betrayal is not the issue here. Money is my only lover.
Come back! I'll shoot if you don't come back!
Lupin, threats are useless.
You could never shoot me.
Forgive me. I never meant to kill you, Fujiko.
Lupin, you finally did something you shouldn't have done!
Fujiko, it's all my fault.
Not only did you steal from a good person...
but you also killed one of your own!
Oh, Fujiko! Please forgive me!
Hey, stop! If you don't stop, I'll shoot you guys!
I'm REALLY gonna shoot you guys!
Wh-wh-wh-what?!
Lupin, what's going on?
Is it a dream or an illusion?
I have no clue, but I am certain that this is a trap.
A trap?
Not only that, it's a very clever trap.
They disappeared.
Lupin, listen carefully!
I'm not so soft that I would let a murderer get away!
Hey, hey, hey, hold it, Pops!
Hey, Pops! I have no idea what's going on.
The only thing I can think of is... Aah!
I won't listen to you!
Lupin, it's useless to explain.
Now, come out, Lupin! Come out!
Wait, Lupin!
It's absurd!
Lupin, what does it say?
It says the FBI has put our names on the Most Wanted List...
for the murder of Fujiko Mine...
and stealing Kecchi's fortune.
We have been falsely accused.
But who would want to frame us?
It's gotta be the person who stands to gain the most...
by having the money stolen.
-What? -What?
Anyway, everything will become clear once we find Fujiko.
How long were you going to make your bride wait?
Even though you are terminally ill...
you have a young and beautiful wife like me.
You are the happiest man in the world.
You're right. All my assets will become yours.
But once you publicly announce that you're going to donate them...
you can't take it back.
That's why we came up with this 3D video projector.
It used holographs to simulate a fake robbery by Lupin.
If the money is stolen, you don't need to donate. Right?
Thanks to you, it was a spectacular success!
But you can't let your guard down against Lupin.
You shouldn't leave any evidence that could become proof.
Then shouldn't I get rid of the witness as well?
The witness?
What about your terminal illness?
It was a misdiagnosis.
I was told that I can keep saving more and more money.
You deceived me.
You also approached me to try and get my money.
Money can buy any woman I want, but I have no intention of marrying.
If I'd known I would end up like this, I wouldn't have betrayed Lupin!
Lupin!
The only thing I trust is money. Money never lets you down.
A video porn device?
It's called a video holograph device.
It projects a 3D image into the air.
All the images you saw were created by this device.
What a hypocrite!
He even tried to kill me. I was so scared, Lupin.
Oh, you must have been so scared. Oh, poor thing.
There's no turning back now. I'm gonna beat the crap out of him!
Ah, you're wonderful, Lupin.
I'm gonna show him what it means to frame me!
An eye for an eye. A trap for a trap!
I found a penny! A penny saved is a penny earned!
Money is more valuable when it's saved!
When I thought I was gonna die, I almost gave it all away.
I was so stupid!
I'm not giving this money to ANYONE... ever!
Whoa. He is so money-crazy.
See how much money he has? Let's hurry up and take it all!
If it's just stealing the money, that's easy.
But I won't be satisfied with just that.
What are you planning to do?
Kecchi trapped me. I'll show him what revenge means.
Nani-nani, boo-boo!
Cut!
Fujiko, did you get a good shot?
I think so, but I got this machine used...
so I'm not sure if it worked.
I'm counting on you, Fujiko.
Whoa! Would you look at this? It looks just like me.
Now we'll be able to give that miser a scare.
I'll take care of operating this machine.
All right, then, go ahead and do it.
Tricked you! Don't panic! This is part of the plan, too.
Don't make it confusing!
It's coming from the direction of my bedroom.
What?!
My money...
Someone! Hurry, someone!
Ah! Inspector Zenigata! It's Lupin!
What? Lupin, you're under arrest!
You never learn! I won't let you get away!
Wait!
What the?
Oh, no! It broke!
You moron, Fujiko! You broke the machine!
What?
It's dangerous! Stay back!
This way! Hurry!
Damn it! What's taking so long, Fujiko?
Where is it? I'm losing my patience. Let's see...
Oh, man! We're in big trouble...
What in the world is going on?
Now, take Lupin away!
Hey, Jigen, do something! Quick!
Could you say that to Lupin? There isn't much we can do.
Huh? Kecchi is here!
Don't move! If you take even a step, I'll blow your head off, Lupin!
Ah, I'm so grateful to you. They almost stole all of my money.
What did you just say?
Well... um... nothing.
This is bad! You can't get stuck at this critical moment!
So, what's your explanation for this?
As... as you can see, Lupin got a taste for it...
and returned to steal without knowing that the safe is empty.
What?!
What? This money...
Which money is this?
Could it be that you didn't want to donate, and you tried to hide it?
Oh, no! All my money was stolen by Lupin.
If that's the case, did Lupin return the money?
Why would he return the money he had stolen?
It's something Lupin would do. To avoid an incident in the future...
it's probably best if you donate it as soon as possible.
Since Lupin has been arrested, I would wait till it's safe to do so.
Today is the safest day.
You get to donate money that was stolen once.
You are certainly lucky with money.
That is what I thought until today.
But, thanks to Lupin, my luck with money has left me.
You're crying with joy because now you can donate all your money?
Um... let's see... I still don't understand...
Wait! Wait!
Kecchi is very upset and crying.
Just as we planned.
Mr. Kecchi, I'll have my subordinate come get the money right away.
Good-bye, now.
Now, excuse me.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Inspector Zenigata! Who are YOU?
What?
Help me, someone! Get my hand out of there! Help!
What the hell is going on?
Lupin, how dare you?!
W-wait, please, Inspector Zenigata. Lupin is returning the money!
What the hell is going on?
The scenario is changing.
I'll do anything for 20 trillion yen.
Back to our previous conversation! Who the hell are you?!
YOU are more suspicious. Who are YOU?
Damn! What a useless piece of crap!
Ah! It's fixed! 20 trillion yen are mine!
Wait, Lupin!
Wait, imposter!
Wait! Who the hell are you?
It's safe. My money is safe!
Mr. Kecchi, we've come to take your money for donation.
So I AM losing it.
The total is 100 billion dollars, and he's donating it all so generously.
What a big-hearted person!
He must be exceptionally generous.
Good. We loaded all the money, didn't we?
We're ready to leave. Let's go!
Lupin!
I did everything I could.
You're Fujiko!
That's right. I did my best. It's worth 20 trillion yen!
I worked so hard.
That's too bad. I'm going to take it to be donated.
You're the real Zenigata?
Though you may have evil plans, justice always prevails!
Ugh! Damn! Damn!
Look at her!
So... mission accomplished.
Time to get going.
But I feel a little bad for Fujiko.
What goes around comes around. Leave her alone.
Oh, no! It's not fair! My 20 trillion yen! Wait!
Moron! You moron, Lupin!
We've decided to enjoy a "White Christmas" in New York.
Then a female jewelry store owner challenged me and said...
"I will broadcast live if you steal from my store. What do you say?"
What an unbelievable challenge. Fine, I'll give it a try.
The next episode is "Christmas At Tiffany's" (Christmas is in the Goddess's Hands)
See ya!
