Good morning, Mona Lisa!
*Mona Lisa Smiles Twice*
The famous drawing "Mona Lisa" left the Louvre in France
and now it's on a worldwide tour.
Many times the picture was threatened to be stolen, starting with Lupin I.
In the WW II Hitler and many others also wished to have it.
But there're no worries now.
Because a special team of the national police will assure its safety.
In charge of the operation is Interpol's Inspector Zenigata.
The museum manager is going to hand over Mona Lisa to Zenigata.
I leave my daughter in your hands.
Please, don't worry.
Zenigata the Man will protect Mona Lisa with his life.
Wait right there!
I've told you many times, and you still don't get it?
He's a special fake. The real one is me.
If you get tricked so easily, you won't be able to repulse Lupin.
Stop and think! Before trust comes suspicion!
This is the first rule of the security.
Do you understand?
Office Zenigata lives up to his name.
With him around we're sure Lupin won't succeed.
Wh...wh...what are you doing?
What's with you? Stop it!
I'm the real one!
Don't! Hey...
What's with his face? It's messed up.
The procession of Mona Lisa is now going to the roads.
Her eternal smile will capture the hearts of many.
Pleasant journey, Mona Lisa!
Bon voyage!
Mona Lisa was sent out from its place.
I won't let this happen.
Beauties smile only for me.
My ancestor couldn't get Mona Lisa, but I'll add it to my collection.
Well, it's about time we set off.
Where's Fujiko,Goemon?
Do not ask me about that woman.
But...
Quarrelling at an important time like this?
I never thought of that woman as a comrade.
That was just before the Mona Lisa event...
Beautiful! She looks so motherly.
Goemon, can you appreciate woman's beauty?
But if you like this kind of women, it means you have an Oedipus complex.
A wench like you cannot understand real beauty!
Goemon with Oedipus complex? That's a good one!
Wha-wha-wha-what?
Just a joke! A joke!
I understand how you feel!
Mona Lisa is a nice woman.
Fujiko doesn't understand anything.
Now let's go steal it!
Come on! What about it?
I have no interest in fakes.
That's the oriental art museum?
Such a huge building in the middle of the desert...
Besides the cameras, there's a laser auto-defense system...
...and 16 teams of guards.
To me this is a child's play.
But we better be careful of the traps.
Wrong step...
Are you all right, Inspector?
Doesn't matter. Lupin will face the same fate as mine.
He'll get caught.
Whoever steps on the wrong tile, will meet the same fate as yours.
And the pattern is reprogrammed every 30 minutes.
And the system won't halt until we open the museum in the morning.
Even Lupin won't be able to reach Mona Lisa.
Hey!Store the ice for later.
For Lupin.
I'll wash Lupin's back for him.
In...inspector!
An UFO approaching!
You finally arrived, Lupin.
Wh...what is this?
Wait!Don't shoot!
It might be a trick.
It must be Lupin. I'll check it out.
Using this strange doll... What is Lupin thinking?
Would you like to go for a date with me?
Huh?This voice was Lupin's?
So, you're inside?
How dare you make fun of me? I'll get you!
Don't touch me there, it tickles.
Lupin, are you making a fool of me?
What? What?
Don't touch there...
You shouldn't be rude to girls.
Now, Pops, good night.
Leave this to me and go ahead!
Thanks Goemon.
Let's go, Jigen.
All right, begin!
First, the right foot, front 3.
Step on the flower-like marks.
No!
The next!
Right, that's the one.
Now, the left foot.
Right.
All right.
This is it.
With a pattern like this my eyes are blurring.
Now you have to make a small jump. Be careful!
Now the sixth row from right, the third tile.
A bit more.
I'm not confident with my own steps.
Inspector!Please get up!
Inspector!Hang in there!
Lupin, not yet?
It's tiring to have a date with you.
Hey!hurry up,Lupin!
OK.
Let's take you back!
It's easier now.
Because I've made the marks.
Lupin, wait!
The pattern is changing.
Wh...what did you say?
What should we do?
It changed!
I can't bother anymore!
Lupin!
That was dangerous.
Don't let Lupin get awaaaay!
After him!
Found him. There.
Hurry up, Jigen!
Self made weapons can be troublesome without a manual.
Get lost!
One more troublesome person is coming.
Lupin...
Pops, you're awake?
Why don't you rest? You must be overworked.
Shut up! I'll sleep after I arrest you.
All right...
...it's ready.
Let's go!
Wait, Lupiiin!
Later, Pops!
Take caaare!
I'm awake.
Shall we, Goemon?
Of course.
I'll battle with this.
Scissors.
Are you an idiot? I told you I'll use the stone.
I thought you'd trick me and do the paper.
I should've known you'd be prepared.
Too careless...
You're thinking too much, Goemon.
Then I'll enjoy it first.
Such shame!
I can't look.
The eternal beauty's kiss! Let me steal it.
This is... can't be...
What's wrong, Lupin?
Jigen, bring the magnifier.
What's wrong,Lupin ?
Could this be a fake?
That's right, it's a real fake.
What did you say?
It's well done indeed.
But can't trick my eyes.
But I see no difference from the one I saw in the Louvre.
Of course, because the one at the Louvre was also this fake.
What?
The real Mona Lisa won't be exhibited for fear of being stolen.
The real one is under strict security. It's not like anyone can steal it.
Is this close to the real thing?
Leonardo da Vinci's ghost must be mad.
I was touched by a fake. Horrible!
That's why I told you not to be like that.
Three grown up men being mesmerized by...
...Mona Lisa's fake. That's amusing.
Inspector Zenigata should be laughing right now.
Inspector Zenigata is preparing to get off now.
He's holding Mona Lisa's box.
Mona Lisa, welcome home!
Good work, Inspector Zenigata.
And the homecoming Mona Lisa...
...is handed over to the Louvre manager from Zenigata.
My daughter is back again.
No, I'm honored by your French hospitality but the Mona Lisa inside...
Mona Lisa is eternal.
It can only be eternal.
Secret smile?
I staked my life to reveal the secret behind the smile.
You only need to keep smiling.
Stop using these fakes, old man.
You're Lupin, right?
To prevent thievery, you exhibit only Mona Lisa fakes.
But I didn't think the tour exhibition would also be a fake.
This is mean.
Whether real or fake, it does its jobs.
I was almost tricked too.
Speaking of which, your grandpa Lupin I, stole two or three fakes before.
I don't like this, but my ancestor's revenge must be accomplished.
Could you hand over the real one?
Can you tell if it's real or not?
My eyes won't be tricked.
All right, follow me,please.
It's here, Mr.Lupin.
Don't stand there, come inside.
Th...eh...these are?
These are works of a man, entrapped by Mona Lisa for his life.
Are you shocked, Mr.Lupin?
Are these all fakes?
Fakes? These are real paintings done by me.
And the real one is one of them?
It could be.
Could be?
Actually...
...after so many years drawing so many fakes, I've forgotten...
...which one was the original Mona Lisa.
What? What? What?
Lupin, if you think it's real, then it's real.
Take the one you like.
But I can't guarantee it's the real one. It could be, it could not.
That's foolish, old man...
Let me choose for you, Lupin.
That's foolish too, Pops.
I can distinguish immediately...
That the real bad guy is you.
You're under arrest!
Darn, don't run Lupin!
So what about it Lupin?
How could you return home empty-handed?
Of course I chose the real one.
Where is it now?
Wanna see?
Isn't this the Louvre?
All of these?
That old man's work.
So many Mona Lisas, it's no harm done to be stolen now.
Well, it's not that pretty after all.
Bye old man!
Your works are all real.
Thank you,Mr. Lupin.
When the bell for New Year's Eve strikes,
The treasures ship at Hourai mountain will be revealed.
It's easy to target it, but I have to race against time,
for once the bell stops the plan's over!
Next:
"Have the 108 Bells Rung" See ya!
