ICPO Headquarters
Humph! Shit!
You've got some guts to attack Interpol.
Who are you?
A representative of the Japanese Interpol, Inspector Zenigata.
Throw the weapons and surrender!
What did you say?
Wait!
Let's exchange him for our man who is taken hostage.
So, you are scared after hearing my name.
Then I shall strike!
Looks like they aren't that scared.
The Old Man Hostage Rescue Operation
The terrorist who stormed the Paris Interpol, requested to
use Zenigata for exchange for Napoleon 11th's freedom.
And after Inspector Zenigata was taken,
we still have no news of his whereabouts.
Poor Pops.
Those guys are strong.
It's the professional terrorists from Napoleon Empire.
It's strange that they took him instead of killing him.
Even if they want to exchange the inspector for the emperor,
Interpol will not agree.
Therefore Pops is doomed.
Inspector Zenigata is true Japanese.
He will not be afraid.
Stealing goods won't be interesting any more.
Without Pops, the feeling will be different.
Lupin, don't tell me you plan to save him.
Correct. That's exactly what I'll do.
Lupin, are you sure? We don't profit from saving Pops.
Right. It's nothing to gain and extremely dangerous.
I don't care about him.
I shall follow Lupin whatever he does.
Then, I'll decide with these.
If it turns odd, I'll help you.
4 and 1.
Right! It's decided.
These are all odd, and these are all even.
That's a smart trick you're using.
OK, it's done.
Listen you, terrorists. We won't allow the same thing to happen again.
Come out with your hands up!
The chief himself welcomes us. Nice.
Lupin, wha...
Can't we come and surrender?
When pops isn't around we can, right?
If he knows we are arrested, he will die in peace.
By locking us in a normal cell, you're underestimating us.
I hoped to be locked near Napoleon the 11th.
If that's what you want, I'll fulfill your wish.
Enjoy yourself before we kill you.
I didn't know there was such device.
Who is it? State your name!
Lupin and his two allies.
I was really bored alone.
It's good that you're here.
I was actually looking for you.
You! You should address me as "Your Majesty"!
Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring you out of here very soon.
That is impossible.
No, don't worry.
In Lupin the Third's dictionary, there is no word "impossible".
I've heard this line somewhere before.
Jigen, there it is.
There.
Goemon, shall we start?
Your Majesty, please, prepare to escape.
No. I can live peacefully here.
Before, I was barely able to sleep 3 hours a day.
I want to stay here a little longer.
I've heard of the rumor that you slept only 3 hours.
That's actually a kind of insomnia.
No medicine can cure it.
Then please continue sleeping before we escape, Your Majesty.
Now there's nothing to be afraid any more.
Why? Why must anyone attack Interpol headquarters?
This way Napoleon the 11th and Lupin's gang
left the Interpol headquarters.
I'll have to change my view of Lupin.
What did you say?
I'm a noble man, who loves justice.
And Lupin is a noble man, who loves justice.
So what?
After he took your leader away, I have no value as a hostage.
Now release me and make it snappy.
Who told you we'll release you?
Destroy the useless things! This is our rule.
If someone is guilty for your death, that's Lupin.
If I am killed because of him, I'll surely haunt him.
If it's a pretty girl's ghost, I don't mind,
but I don't want to be haunted by Pops.
Can you guys imagine that?
Pops as a ghost.
Your Majesty!!!
How about it? Are you interested to exchange the hostage with me?
What did you say?
But Inspector Zenigata should be your enemy.
Friend or enemy, it doesn't matter!
There's only one legendary Pops in the world and that's Zenigata!
It's a trap, it must be a trap.
All right. We'll exchange this useless Interpol inspector.
Don't interfere! I will never allow this.
Now, calm down, Pops.
It's a lie! It must be a lie!
As an elite Interpol officer, I won't accept this.
No, it's not a lie. I really want to save you, Pops.
No matter what, I'm a justice member of the Interpol.
If I have to be saved by you, I would rather be killed.
Pops, don't be so stubborn.
As long as we get back His Majesty it will be fine.
Let's exchange hostages.
The place is the palace's woods, today at 4 pm.
Got it?
Right. Pops, stay alive until then.
Adieu.
Lupin, do you want to disgrace me, Zenigata?!
I object this exchange!
You scoundrel!
I've had it! No matter what I plan, I always fail. Can't I even die?
Huh? There is a bug placed here.
Lupin, what now?
Looks like saving Pops is a big headache.
That old man's heart is a mystery, I guess.
It's noisy. How can someone sleep peacefully?
Majesty, I am really sorry.
When I am ruling the country, it's really noisy and I can't sleep well.
But all these, cannot be compared to my ambition.
No doubt, we got a rare hostage too.
Lupin, it's almost time.
OK.
Oh, my! He is really sound asleep.
Well, I've thought about this too.
Good night.
This majesty is harder to handle than rag dolls.
Your Majesty, we will come and save you immediately.
Lupin, we'll release the hostages at the same time.
Understood?
Got it?
I got it.
Damn, I am saved by Lupin...
Go on.
Inspector Zenlgata, you know what to do in these situations, don't you?
I hate the Lupin who put me thru this.
Are you interested in helping me to arrest him?
I accept your plan.
Your Majesty!
I'm OK.
Quick! Kill Lupin!
Shall we do it?
Lupin...
What is it? Aren't you happy?
It's a fine man who died.
A fine man?
Lupin... If you are still alive, come and fight me like a maaaaan!
Lupin... Although we have different stand, I like you.
I like you too.
Inspector Zenigata, it seems that I've misunderstood you.
I thought you were useless to be caught by the terrorist.
But I didn't understand that you actually faked it.
I was blind.
"Faked" you say?
No.It was brilliant to use Lupin to catch the terrorists.
But because of that Lupin is gone...
Chief, we checked the remains of the helicopter,
but we didn't find Lupin's body.
What?
I'm so relieved!
"I'm so relieved"? Lupin escaped and you say you are relieved?
No, I'm a member of Interpol, why would I say "relieved"?
That's good. That's what Inspector Zenigata should be.
We are still counting on you, to arrest Lupin.
Please don't worry!
The reason I was born, is to fight Lupin.
Chief, you can rest assure.
I, Zenigata, am a real man, and I will surely bring Lupin to justice.
You know what we've been through, and yet you say that.
He changed back to his normal self.
That's right. It means that we were successful.
It seems all right, but one thing troubles me.
Fujlko again? In the world of men, dreams might be fatal.
Jigen, don't say that!
An entertainment company asked me to be their actor,
and what's more, it's a love story with Fujiko.
But in the midst of filming, a lot of strange things happened,
and made people feel uneasy.
