Are you familiar with the word "jouseki"?
Do you think I'm stupid?
It's a classic chess technique,
considered one of the best, is not it?
Exactly. For example: E2 move to E4.
E7 move to E5.
The knight in G1 move to F3.
The knight in B8 move to C6.
The bishop in F1 move to C4.
An opening in "jouseki"!
This technique is called "Italian Game".
Now then, whose move?
This is Italy, the country of love.
Just ask and you shall receive sublime love!
Sublime love...
What are you plotting, "Masked Count"?
You are investing quite a load of money on me,
you surely have a goal in mind, don't you?
Indeed. What I want is to win the game, or...
King.
What's taking them so long?
Seriously... how long are they going to make me wait?
Sir?
Yeah, finally!
There's a phone call for you.
You come all the way to Italy,
and you go straight to a Sushi bar,
I thought you had more vision than that.
Is that what you called to say? I'm hanging up.
Wait.
It looks like someone wants Rebecca Rossellini to pay.
Rebecca? Who?
Don't forget, who your next target is.
Yeah... So?
What about her?
Someone beat you to it.
She's been kidnapped?!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Sheesh.
Can't a man eat in peace?!
Wait! You didn't pay for that!
Rebecca Rossellini has been kidnapped.
She is the daughter of San Marino's prestigious Rosselini clan.
And the young Chair of the Rossellini Zaibatsu,
who run the largest hotel chain in Italy.
Since debuting as a model at age 16,
she's gone from fashion designer, singer, actress, author...
She's also the queen of the gossip columns,
due to her rumored affairs with countless politicians, famous athletes, and more.
Pops!
Lupin. What have you come to Italy for?
You didn't come to dine and dash, did you?
I'm too busy to answer that right now!
It's no use!
These handcuffs were especially made for you,
give up and concentrate on driving!
We need to stop the train!
The train?
Good, let's start...
the "Italian Game".
That's it!
What?
Do not resist, surrender quietly!
Hey, what's going on?
How dare you take my treasure!
Your treasure? What are you after?!
Oh... Uh, just talking to myself.
You're not going anywhere!
Ack!
Wait, hey!
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
What are you waiting for?!
Go!
Which way, though?!
Hey! That's my sushi, give it back!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Get off me!
Now I'm really mad.
Just stop the car!
Sorry, but a woman's life is at stake.
A woman's life...?
Yeah. There's a supermodel on that train,
by the name of Rebecca Rossellini.
My Rebecca, this is all up to you,
and how you decide to answer.
If you refuse to marry me...
The train will continue to explode...
And it won't make it around the sharp turn that's 20 minutes up ahead,
and will fall into the lake and...
Kaboom!
Is that what you want?
If you resist, the explosions will speed up.
Which means you can choose to either be my wife,
or die here with me.
Miss, perhaps you should do as he wishes to give us a chance to escape...
No way!
I won't say yes, even if it's a lie!
Then we'll die together.
Well... I don't know what you're trying to do,
but you should leave it up to the police, they can take care of it!
They can take care of it, you say?
Looks like they're going to be out of commission for awhile.
Yeah, yeah! So, how are you planning on saving her, then?
We'll jump onto the train without them noticing and then rescue Rebecca.
It'll be a piece of cake if we work together.
What about our weapons...?
We've got two.
Can't you go any faster?!
Take these cuffs off if that's what you want!
It's impossible to drive with this thing on!
Huh?
Hey, get out of the way!
Whoa!
Bah...?
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?!
Stop it! Cut that out...
I haven't eaten anything all day!
It's your fault for being a bad driver!
Just focus on driving!
Damn it!
Let's see what will be the piece that survives...
What is your goal?
I'm the one giving you the weapons.
Don't you think I have a right to know?
This is a game.
A game?
A game of tag to win the heart of Rebecca Rossellini.
Are you saying that there's a link between the treasure and the girl?
You'll find out soon enough.
So if the girl dies, the entire plan goes bust.
Conquering the heart of a girl is not easy,
you risk everything, just like crossing a crumbling bridge,
where our goal, the King, is.
I wonder what the great Count Cagliostro has left...
A fire?
Yes.
It grew suddenly in the path of the runaway train.
All other trains were stopped as per emergency procedure ...
Dear god...
At this rate, the train will end up right in the middle of the fire.
All right, I'm going in.
Wait, the handcuffs, the handcuffs!
Oh yeah...
Watch it, don't shoot anything weird!
Shut up! You're making me lose focus!
Shoot better!
Why are you the only one that gets to eat?!
Ouch...
Hey, L-Lupin!
A bridge!
Go, Lupin! If you stop that train,
I'll fillet this fish, and make you sushi myself!
I'm going to hold you to that!
Mmm, sushi's not bad in Italy.
The train shows no sign of slowing down.
And the police are unable to interfere.
Whoa!
What's going on with that car?!
Yeah, there it is.
Okay. Give me your Walther. I'm going to break these handcuffs.
I'm not letting you lose my gun this time. Take the wheel, I'll do it.
Ready?!
Watch where you shoot that thing!
D-Drive properly.
Are you trying to kill me?!
Is this some kind of joke, Lupin?
Come on you bastard.
Huh?
Shit!
Great. Now we're never getting these cuffs off...
Looks like we're going to have to jump onto the train...
...together...
Pops.
Let's jump on the count of three.
All right.
One!
Two!
Thr—
Huh?!
Hey!
Not so fast!
To the left! What if there's another oncoming train?!
Okay!
Let's try again, Pops!
Wait, but unarmed, how...
...will we suppress...
...the perpetrator...
...with our hands cuffed?
I have no idea what you're trying to say, Pops.
I said, we're unarmed!
We're handcuffed!
How are we supposed to catch the guy?!
Obviously...
We're almost out of time...
So you've decided to die with me.
Never!
Then you'll marry me?
Never times infinity!
Then die together.
It's an honor
for me to spend the end of your life with you.
Kaboom!
What better place to end it all than in a gorgeous lake?
This is our last chance.
Yeah
One.
Two.
Three!
What?!
Who are you?!
I'll be taking Rebecca back.
What the hell? Who are you to her, anyway?!
I'm her fiance. Let's just leave it at that.
What?!
I am Rebecca's fiance!
Hey! My phone! How dare you!
Ouch.
Uh oh! The turn.
Up, Lupin!
Fall!
Rebecca! Let's fall to our deaths together!
We're going to roll over!
You're coming with us, too!
Pops...
Lupin...
So, that's the end of our truce... Lupin!
Huh?
Thanks for your help! And don't forget about getting me the sushi you promised!
Wait, Lupin!
Excuse me.
Could you tell us about what went down here?
I'm busy right now!
Till we meet again. Rebecca Rossellini.
Rebecca! You never told me you had a fiance!
Huh? What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about! Lupin came and saved you!
Lupin...?
Cut that out, let's go!
Hey, Rob. Is Lupin...?
It's the same name as the international master thief...
What? That Lupin...?
I would never have expected for you to take Zenigata on a date in your car.
There's nothing to laugh about.
By the way, Goemon is worried about the plan.
It's better that he doesn't know anything.
He's the kind of person who reads too deeply into things.
Hey, Gaspare.
I saw the news.
Were you the one who saved Rebecca?
You seem to have the intention to challenge "The Masked Count".
Does he think he'll throw me off by sending this stuff?
BEFORE THE KIDNAPPING
OF REBECCA
"The descendants of Lupin the Phantom Thief "?
It is said that somewhere in this country,
there rests the lost ancient inheritance of Cagliostro.
Let's compete to see who will find it first.
Signed: "The Masked Count"
"The Masked Count"? And who would that be?
Who knows.
If they sent me a letter to challenge me,
I'd say it's a person with little to fear.
THE BALSAMO VILLA
I did not send you this letter.
Are you not a descendant of the Balsamo family?
I am.
One of the ancestors of the Balsamo family, Giuseppe Balsamo,
was well known for being a great liar.
He called himself "The Count of Cagliostro".
In the 18th century, Count Cagliostro,
physician, alchemist, esotericist and much more,
was a great con artist, well known throughout Italy at the time.
After his arrest, the Count was imprisoned in the fortress of San Leo and died while in custody.
Some think he managed to escape from his prison,
but the truth remains in darkness.
You are of the same family, so a challenge shouldn't be ruled out, right?
Enough speaking ill of my ancestors.
Count Cagliostro was not a crook.
He was a great man, who dedicated himself
to provide miracle cures for people suffering from strange diseases!
History was turned upside down!
Talk about ancestral loyalty.
Well, no matter who our "Masked Count" is,
I'm taking the inheritance of Cagliostro.
My name is Lupin III.
I don't like to be given the title of "decendant".
But it is odd that a fan of Rebecca has been pushed to the point of causing a such an incident for her.
Maybe it's the Masked Count pulling the strings.
So the inheritance of Cagliostro might have some connection with Rebecca?
This has nothing to do with you.
Let me help you.
You seem quite interested in this.
I just want to bring the truth of Count Cagliostro to light.
I'm Sergio, of the Bolzano Police.
What does the Italian Police want from me?
It's because of Rebecca's kidnapping.
You worked together with Lupin III.
Not because I wanted to.
We temporarily worked together to save Recbecca.
What's Lupin doing in Italy?
Where there is Lupin there is treasure.
He is planning something, and I will take him in.
I don't need any help.
Good evening, Rebecca!
Rebecca, would you join me on my cruise ship to travel around the world?
If you want, I can give you a trip to space!
I can offer you a journey through time in my time machine!
Don't be silly!
Yeah!
No thanks.
As always, you're the hot topic of conversation.
Yet they are among heirs of large companies or royal families.
What matters is the spirit. Are you looking for some gossip?
Exactly, as always.
And thanks to you I can enjoy good food.
Don't thank me.
All these people here are only interested in the power of the Rossellini group,
and I'm only its President.
Because you have your parent's reputation on your side...
you can do whatever you want, am I right?
You're right.
If I have some interesting gossip to give you, I'll contact you.
Have fun, I'd recommend it.
Miss Rebecca Rossellini.
This is for you.
The pawns are ready.
The person who will have the King...
is the one and only...
THE REPUBBLIC OF SAN MARINO
Hey, Pops, you came!
Stop this wedding!
Who is that, your boyfriend?!
Of course not!
You'd never get married!
I thought it was time I tied the knot.
You can't fool me! You're planning something again!
Hey! Keep your voice down!
This is so funny! It's like a scene out of a movie!
Go, go!
Please restrain yourself, madam!
Get rid of him.
Out of my way.
Come.
What are you doing?! Let me go!
Stop! Do you know who that man is?!
He's!
Okay everyone, let's get back to the task at hand, and continue with this ceremony.
Hey, Rob.
Take this away.
Madam. If I may be so bold, this was made by a three star chef.
I don't care how many stars he has. Get me a large helping of fries instead.
Also that pianist is annoying me, get rid of her.
Y-Yes, madam.
You didn't need to do that, Rebecca. She was celebrating for us.
It's just not my style
Oh...
She's even worse than they say.
Why would a girl like her want anything to do with Lupin?
Lupin fell in love with her at first sight...
Lupin?
And things moved real fast, and here we are.
What a farce.
Oh, Fujiko? You're not going to stay to the end?
I gave you gift money. Isn't that enough?
Don't be so cold.
What do you plan on doing from here on in? With your work?
I'll probably just spend the rest of my days tinkering with our home garden in San Marino.
Yeah.
Bye.
I'll probably never see you again.
Hey, don't say that.
Lupin! We're taking pictures, come over here!
Right away, honey!
Be honest.
You're jealous that another woman's taken Lupin from you, right?
Don't make me laugh.
Then why did you answer Lupin's invitation?
Oh, why did you?
You can't fool me that easily, you know.
Why would she do such a thing?
She always makes things so hard.
Wow, look at that second home.
This is my fifty-fifth home.
Your fifty-fifth?
I have homes all over the world.
Mostly gifts from ex-boyfriends.
Is that where you got this expensive looking wine, too?
Apparently, there's only one bottle of this vintage wine in the whole wide world.
Perfect for our first night together, don't you think?
Sweet talk like that makes this wine go straight to my head!
Oh yeah, there's something I want to show you!
What, what? Show me anything you want, Rebecca!
What is this?
A private jet I designed for our honeymoon.
We're flying on that?
Of course! After the tower ceremony tomorrow,
we're riding this all over the world!
We'll really stand out in that thing.
The world famous Rebecca Rossellini is getting married.
I need to do something big to get people talking.
Why did you accept my proposal, anyway?
Why are you asking me that now? You're the one that hit on me.
Because, you know,
I'm the only man in the world who can keep up with a woman like you.
But we've only known each other a month.
If I had to say something, I guess it was your face?
My face?
It's exactly my type of face.
Tee-hee, so I'm your type, huh? I'll type you all up!
Then take it off.
Huh?
My pleasure!
Rebecca!
No.
When did you get in here?!
That's not allowed until after the ritual tomorrow.
Who cares? We're married.
If you stay up too long, you will be late to the ritual tomorrow.
You have a hard enough time waking up in the morning as it is, madam.
You're so serious, Rob.
Yeah, so serious, Rob.
I'm a detective! Release me!
I don't care who you are, I obey my own justice.
I see, you seem like a decent man.
But I have my own justice, too.
That man is a notorious thief who works all over the world.
A man like that would never marry Lady Rebecca.
You still don't know what kind of man Lupin is.
Captain Patrick, this is an emergency situation!
What is it?
This arrived at the official residence.
"I'm coming to take the Royal Crown of Libertas at 7:00 this morning. Lupin III."
Lupin III...!
See, I told you!
I'm a police investigator specializing in Lupin.
I know what cards he's holding!
Sorry, Rebecca.
It's all going to plan.
Let's meet on site.
All right.
Oh, and also, Fujiko's getting suspicions.
She hates dragging her feet.
Yeah.
Annoying.
That he would deceive a man who was
congratulating him on his wedding from the heart.
Don't be like that.
I'll buy you a cappuccino later, okay? It's real good.
Don't belittle me.
What's your target?
The national treasure of San Marino, the Royal Crown of Liberty.
The only ones who know where it's kept are the Heads of the country's nine territories,
better known as the "Nine Castles"
And the only day the crown sees the light of day...
is during the "Farewell Ritual"
held the day after a wedding within any of their families.
The bride wears the crown and celebrates her departure into married life.
The only people allowed to attend are those nine Heads,
and their blood relations.
Why did you keep this from me?
Because you're the worst liar and people can read your face like a book,
so Lupin told to keep it from you until the very last minute.
So, let's go meet this treasure, then.
It is said that when Count Cagliostro traveled as a doctor,
he saved the heiress of one of the great families of San Marino from disease,
or at least those are the rumors.
Moreover, it seems that the Count gave this beloved heiress the Crown of Liberty...
which later be known as...
...the inheritance of Cagliostro.
I expect great things from you, Fujiko Mine.
This is the blood of San Marino, the pride of San Marino!
Who are you?!
That crown is being targeted by the notorious thief, Lupin III.
What?!
Don't worry.
I'm here to stop him from having his way.
Captain Patrick is already guarding the tower.
Lord Marco. We should move the crown back to its storage location immediately.
Yeah, you're right.
I'll do it.
Wait.
You're not Lupin, are you?
Of course not.
Hey, this isn't what we discussed.
What's Pops doing here?
Lupin!
Huh?!
You've got a sixth sense for me, Pops.
Don't play dumb!
You sent this notice letter to the government residence, did you not?
What?
I didn't send that thing!
You married into the family of one of the Heads to bring out the crown, and steal it.
Is that not your plan?!
Jeez, Pops, I can't get anything past you.
Let's go.
Wait!
Hey! What happened to the Royal Crown?!
Lionello brought it to it's storage location.
I see.
Great!
Thanks, Goemon.
I didn't help you.
This is just a wedding gift.
Crap! Stop, Lupin!
Who sent that letter, anyway?
I'm pretty sure I can guess.
What?
Using me like a pawn, she's got a lot of guts.
But she's not getting away with this.
Oh, no you don't.
Good work, Patrick!
Sir Police Inspector.
That's the notorious female thief who's got Lupin
wrapped around her finger, Fujiko Mine.
Taking my things, Fujiko, I'm not impressed!
Huh?
I'll go after the woman. You get Lupin, Inspector.
All right!
No!
Thanks, Jigen.
You're always a handful.
Give it back! That's mine!
Nope, it's mine!
Fools! That belongs to San Marino!
Hand it over!
Yeah right!
Oh, Lupin, help me.
Huh?
Give me the royal crown.
Or I'll throw her in solitary confinement, and throw away the key.
What? Taking a hostage, that's not playing fair!
Who cares about her? She used your name and stole from us!
I agree.
Lupin.
The royal crown.
Hmm...
Here. You can have it, so let Fujiko go.
Hey, Lupin!
You fool...
Huh?!
That's a bunch of hard work out the window.
Are you sure about that?
We have secured Lionello.
Good.
Thank you so much, Sir Police Inspector Zenigata.
He's the one you should be thanking.
He's quite the man.
That's very kind.
Sir Lionello. Please place the royal crown in its storage location.
Yes.
Wait.
Those men are incredibly skilled.
Perhaps we should keep it with us until things die down.
But...
Good idea, he's trustworthy.
Then please, we leave it with you.
Yes.
That's not right.
Sending out notice letters without telling the person you're sending them from.
How did you know it was me?
The letter was sent, not to the location with the greatest target –
the first tower, Guaita – but to the governmental residence.
That was so Patrick, the man you are in disguise as,
would be sent to guard the royal crown.
I'll go after Lupin.
Is the royal crown safe?!
Patrick? You just took the royal crown.
That was someone disguised as me!
What?!
While I was guarding the tower, I was attacked from behind...
No!
So I'm totally your type?
You shouldn't say things like that, or I might really fall for you...
Rebecca.
I thought I was doing a pretty good job.
How could you tell?
I could smell it a mile off.
That 1952 vintage wine that there's only one of in the world.
Oh!
Why did you do it?
You're one of the Heads,
you could have stolen the royal crown without accepting my proposal.
Well I don't really care about this crown.
What?
Hey, wait!
What I want, is the thrill!
The thrill?
Ouch...
I knew as soon as you proposed,
that this royal crown was what you were after.
Is that?!
That's why I disguised myself as Patrick and played along in this thief game.
This kind of thing's exciting, you know!
I see.
So that's what your gossip queen history can be attributed to,
your desire for the thrill.
Exactly!
So, here.
I got what I wanted, so you can have it.
Why?
But hey!
What about this kind of thrill?
What are you going to do now?
A screaming honeymoon!
You give new meaning to the word Bridezilla.
I'm still angry about you using my name and deceiving me!
Wait, time out. My name's Lupin, too.
What?
I'm your wife, Mrs. Lupin.
You're right...
But that's not the point!
Ouch...
Ouch!
Mrs. Lupin.
If you say so.
What are you swooning about?
Fujiko?!
So, what are you planning on doing with this?
I'm Lupin III.
I'm not going to beg anyone for anything.
You outwitted the great Lupin.
and got the royal crown for yourself, that's quite impressive, Madam.
Stop.
I lost, and I know it.
What?
It's so funny, actually!
That Lupin really is the best.
I shall secretly put the royal crown back where it belongs.
But how long are you planning on doing this kind of thing for?
Until I get bored.
I'm over it.
Give me back my wedding present.
What? What are you talking about, Fujiko?
Of course. It was a fake marriage.
Huh?
Oh yeah...
I need to get her to sign the divorce papers!
Huh?
Fujiko, go after Rebecca!
Go by yourself.
And make sure you give me my wedding gift back.
What a honeymoon.
You almost had me fooled, Lupin.
Pops?!
I had no idea you had another member of your gang.
What?
I don't know who he is or where he comes from,
but you can tell me all about it back at the station!
Come on, give me a break!
Damn it, Lupin!
Where did he run to?
Need a hand?
Lupin III is searching for the inheritance of Count Cagliostro.
The inheritance of Cagliostro?
It's said that in the 18th century, the Count of Cagliostro, better known as "The Great Deceiver"
proposed to an heiress of a large family of San Marino.
To give proof of his love, he gave her the Crown of Liberty.
You seem to be an inspector who knows his stuff.
The Italian police are very respectable.
...But it's superficial.
If it were as you said, Lupin would never have let the crown go.
Excuse me.
What were you thinking?
You left the crown in Rebecca's hands!
He's right! Wasn't that the famous crown of Cagliostro's inheritance?
If the Masked Count was Rebecca, you would have lost.
What happened to Goemon?
He left. He can't stand being with someone like you,
someone who doesn't understand anything as soon as he sees a beautiful woman.
Damn, Goemon sure is persistant...
And you're too easy-going.
Hold on! Let me finish!
It's all according to plan.
What do you mean?
I noticed that on the crown ...
there's a stone of unforeseen beauty.
How did Count Cagliostro get his hands on something so valuable?
It is said that he knew alchemy.
By splitting and dividing raw material,
alchemy is able to form into new compounds and elements.
If that stone was created via alchemy,
then Cagliostro's laboratory must be somewhere.
But there isn't anything that reports such a thing.
The key to everything is precisely in their absence.
Sure, but most likely nobody else else knows of this laboratory.
Yeah, exactly.
Then...
About six months ago, I heard on the news that within San Leo are buried ruins.
Ruins?
Who's that?
The only ones who know this number ...
...are in this room right now.
Why did you want to meet with me?
I was going to make you return my gift, but then I thought of something else you could do.
Oh, and that would be?
This.
"The missing fragment of the Marie-Antoinette necklace was found in San Leo "?
That's right.
The great Queen Bress necklace swindle of the French Revolution.
The swindler Count Cagliostro was framed for it,
And he spent the rest of his life in a San Leo prison,
but he hid a fragment of the necklace in the wall.
As always, you have a very discerning eye.
Oh, I thought you said you wanted to give me something in return for my wedding gift.
All right, I guess I can pop by.
I tricked Lupin, like you told me to.
Good work.
Are you sure? This is Lupin we're talkin about.
Don't worry, we'll share everything as agreed.
I'm just talking to a hologram.
How can I be sure you're not just playing me?
You were reckless.
You invited an unwelcome guest.
Lupin!
Hello, Fujiko.
So you were working with someone else without telling me.
Because...
I knew about it ever since you stole the Crown of Liberty.
Masked Count, you sure have an interesting hobby.
You're a descendant of Lupin, the Phantom Thief.
My name is Lupin III.
I knew you were after the Crown of Liberty.
What're you afraid of?
Why don't you take off the mask, so I can see what's underneath?
Only if you beat me.
The game continues.
Let's see which one of us will be the first to take the king.
The king...
If you say so.
Lupin, I know you're here!
This is...
Damn Fujiko, tricked us again...
This would be the Legacy of Cagliostro...
I'll win this challenge.
That's great Lupin!
If your ancestors saw you, they would cry.
You're Count Cagliostro's descendant, aren't you?
Doesn't it bother you that a stranger is going to take the inheritance of your ancestor?
You're right,
But God is biased.
Though we are all someone's descendants, here is not only an internationally renowned thief,
but also a superstar in the world of large corporations.
I'm just the descendant of an extinct family.
Why do you care about ancestors or their descendants! If you want to cry, do it!
Sorry.
Enough talking.
We'll take what we need to and be done with it.
It won't be that easy though.
The crown prince of England seems to be interested in the necklace.
He's apparently traveling here to see it.
The Prince of England...
We'll have to be very careful.
We'll have to deal with the British Secret Service, MI6.
That's insane!
Maybe it'd be better if we postponed the plan...
We don't want the Masked Count to get it first, do we?
We will move forward. No matter who our opponent is.
We must prevent anything from happening to the Crown Prince.
Men, stay alert and take care of the situation.
Yessir!
Madam, this came to the hotel.
Oh, Lupin... You still can't let me go?
Who are you?!
I'll be right there, my Marie Antoinette!
I thought I shook you. How did you know I was here?
Squad B here. I have apprehended the suspect!
Are you hearing this?!
Run out of there right now!
Whassa matter, Jigen?
We're up against... too much...
Squad B here...
I will now begin interrogating the suspect.
Daisuke Jigen.
What's a dirty contract worker and a sharp shooter like you doing in San Leo?
Sightseeing, that's all.
Welcome, James!
Hey, Rebecca, great to see you.
So, you've got lots of time today, right?
Do I?
We are leaving San Leo at 4:00pm.
Yeah.
I have to check out that fragment of
Marie Antoinette's necklace they dug up yesterday.
Oh, really? I was all ready to show you a good time.
Forget about that ugly necklace and come out drinking with me!
Hey, do not treat a lady like that.
You are certainly a free spirit.
You're the only person in the world who can talk to the Crown Prince of England like that.
I know, it's great.
You're too much.
Your highness, we do not have the time.
She has something planned.
Yay!
Let's go!
Oh, wait!
What's your purpose? Why are you in San Leo?
He's a tough one.
So his silence is your answer.
What do you mean, Nix?
According to our papers, this man is the thief Lupin III's partner.
If he's this dedicated, then this is 99.95% Lupin related.
Which means he's after...
Squad C here.
Fujiko Mine confessed.
So it's the Marie Antoinette necklace.
Yeah. Just as you suspected.
Fujiko Mine. Are you involved in this, too?
Don't make me look bad. I just
told Lupin that I thought the necklace would make for good payback for my wedding gift.
But I didn't expect Lupin to actually take it seriously.
Leave it to me.
It's no use.
The necklace... is already in his hands.
Yeah...
Okay, then. Better make my escape.
We are now moving to protect the necklace.
We're counting on you.
If anything were to happen during the Crown Prince's visit in Italy,
it will lead to trouble.
Complete this mission
before the Crown Prince leaves his hotel at 16:30.
We are on Code Red level surveillance.
For the purpose of this mission... I am giving you permission to kill.
Understood.
What are the search results?
Search target, Lupin III.
There is no evidence that he has escaped above ground.
Give me a map of the underground waterways.
Right away.
Target located. Probability of mission success, 100%.
Oh?!
I'd recommend that you give me back that necklace.
No way.
Hey, let me have a cigarette.
I'm sorry but I don't like guys like that.
How long is this meeting going to last?
Until the mission is complete.
Which means I have to stay here for the rest of my life.
No more than 15 minutes more. You'll be out of here soon.
You sure about that?
I have a license to kill.
I don't have anything against you personally,
but I've been ordered by headquarters to get rid of you if you resist.
You mean it's okay to kill,
if it's for the good of the nation?
Hand over the necklace.
If you want it so bad, come and get it.
Very well.
I have some good news,
but before I give it to you, I want you to promise me
that you'll allow me to to part in the Lupin III investigation.
To put it bluntly, he's an internationally renowned thief.
If we were to take him in, the Italian police would be respected worldwide.
It depends on what you tell me.
I know where Fujiko Mine is.
Whoa!
Uh oh, that's bad.
Chance of Mission completion, 100%.
That was close! Not again!
How did he get ahead of me?!
What's going on?!
Do you have precognitive powers or something?!
Probability of mission completion, 100%.
I'm not a whack-a-mole mole!
Five, four, three, two...
It's over now!
Chance of success, 99.8%.
Not a problem, this is within the margin of error.
Four minutes to go. Almost time.
You're late, Lupin.
Sorry, I ran into a little trouble.
How'd you get away from Nix, though?
Nix? Who's that?
The guy who was chasing you.
Right, what's with his cool name?
It's probably a code name.
For some reason he always knows where you're running.
That's how I ended up like this.
It's just a stupid trick.
Oh, wow... You got here pretty quick.
Crap!
I was sure I had you back in the underground waterway.
How?
The first time we met...
You tapped your foot and used that sound to immediately find where I was hiding...
And when I threw the smoke bomb...
The first thing you covered was your ear.
I realized then that you have the power to use sound to see,
that it was a form of echolocation.
Right. Like what a blind bat does.
Yeah. All I had to do was mess with that a little...
After going through the crossroad junction point,
I ran awhile until he picked up on where I was going.
I waited until I knew you'd left the waterway,
and then went back.
You're very pleased with yourself.
Just because you figured out one of my powers doesn't mean you've won.
Oh, yeah? So what other powers do you have?
Are you like an owl? Or a cockroach?
99.80%.
The chance of success, according to my calculations.
Your likelihood of survival is almost nonexistent.
Hey, thanks. 0.2%, that's pretty encouraging.
Check and mate.
Give me the necklace.
Over my dead body!
I don't understand you.
You're just a thief, why are you putting your life on the line for that necklace?
It's for the woman I love.
Fujiko Mine. You'd go this far for a woman...
You're no better than an ape.
What about you? Look how far you're going for your country...
You're no better than a dog.
You'll regret not heeding your warning.
Wait.
So you're finally begging for your life?
Since I'm going to die soon, at least let me have a last smoke.
Have you set something up in your cigarette to allow you to escape?
No. Go ahead and check, I don't care.
I'll give you 30 seconds...
No funny business, or I'll shoot you immediately!
That's more than enough.
I can't believe this is my last cigarette.
Let's make the most of it.
It's time.
Aim for me right here.
It's an emergency.
Make your way to the hotel immediately.
What is going on, sir?
The Crown Prince is under attack by someone.
What about my current mission?
The necklace is no longer needed. Hurry.
Yes, sir.
It looks like luck is on your side.
You didn't know? You make your own luck.
Your lives are saved.
Hmph... After everything you put me through, that's it?
Phew. You're right, Jigen.
Looks like we had a bad opponent this time.
It was all set up here.
What kind of a sick joke is this?
Lupin! This is not what you said before!
"Let's go for a thrill ride together.
Today at 4:00pm. I'll take the life of the Crown Prince of England,
who's scheduled to stay in your hotel.
Then your favorite gossip columns will tear down the
reputation and stock price of your hotel chain.
If you don't want to lose, then don't tell anyone about this,
and protect the Crown Prince.
This game takes place on the roof of the hotel.
Sincerely, your Lupin."
Sorry about that, Rebecca. I used you as insurance for this treasure.
What?! What are you talking about?!
I knew MI6 would get involved if I went after the necklace,
but I didn't want to have to deal with them head on...
So I set up some toys that emit smoke and gunshot sounds at 4:00pm exactly...
And sent you a notice so you'd bring the Crown Prince up to the roof.
I just had to bide my time until 4:00pm,
and I knew the place would break out in a panic.
Nobody would care about the necklace anymore.
Seriously! There I was, all ready for a full on fight with you!
Oh, by the way, can you sign the divorce papers?
Huh?
Boring!
I guess he's not just an ape.
Damn it!
Do you understand now? It's best that you cut your ties with that thief.
Absolutely not!
Given the current situation, I must ask that you be reasonable about this.
If you were to jeopardize the good name of the Rossellini family...
I didn't become the president because I wanted to!
Madam...
Rob...
I'm having a lot of fun right now.
And I met Lupin.
Amazing...
We're good now, right?
You're happier working with me than doing business with that "Masked Count", aren't you?
Yeah, I was wrong.
Well, Fujiko, let's put the past aside
and entertain ourselves for a while!
Oh, Lupin, I was expecting this.
Wait.
Wow, so you're finally in the mood!
In that case, I won't hold back!
Bon appétit!
Hold it, Lupin!
Try to be more considerate, Pops!
Sorry Lupin, maybe next time!
Lupin!
I know that you're after the inheritance of Cagliostro!
Come with us and don't give us trouble!
Like hell!
Don't resist.
What can you do while unarmed?
Fujiko has thought about that for me.
Look out!
Lupin...
I can't take it anymore...
We worked so hard for that treasure...
It's not just Rebecca, but Fujiko too.
What are you planning?
We'd like to know that too.
Goemon.
I understand.
Lupin, are you sure about this?
Of course.
What do you mean?
It's not just the Crown of Liberty.
There was a mysterious stone on the necklace as well.
If Count Cagliostro had tried to create and hide the stone during his imprisonment,
there's only one place where his laboratory could be,
and that's in his prison.
There's a mystery that awaits us there.
Then we have to hurry!
That agent Nyx could be the Masked Count!
Why do you think that?
Well, he's the one that's been hunting you down all this time.
Moreover, now we have more than the Masked Count to worry about.
Fujiko Mine, Rebecca, Inspector Zenigata...
We have to find the treasure before they do!
Yeah, I guess you're right.
You really are the queen of gossip.
That fact that the President of the Rossellini family had a second life was clear the day when...
when companies connected to the Rossellini group had some interesting actions.
If you want to expose me, why don't you?
Absolutely not!
This is my choice to make!
Madam, you must bear the responsibility of the Rossellini family.
Your actions affect more than just yourself.
How much do you want for these?
Let's have a good talk about that.
Well, we've finally reached the final stage.
Checkmate for you, descendant of Lupin, the Phantom Thief.
The name that will go down in legend...
will be mine.
I am appalled.
This only happened because of my lack of foresight.
Why are you apologizing?
I should be thanking you.
After all, I still had fun with Lupin.
Madam...
Rob, what you said before.
Madam, you must bear the responsibility of the Rossellini family.
Your actions affect more than just yourself.
What's my life's purpose?
What am I supposed to live for?
I'm sorry, I was careless.
This is all my fault.
Let's find the inheritance of Cagliostro, to protect the good name of the Rossellini family.
Yes Madam.
Alright, stop!
That voice...
I'll be the one to take the treasure.
What! A trap!
The Rossellini family now owns the castle of San Leo,
so now you're in my territory.
Until we find the inheritance of Cagliostro, you'll just have to stay up there.
Damn it!
Buying a World Heritage Site must take a lot of money.
What is it that you're after?
Okay, okay... All I'm after is just a little adventure.
Rob.
Are you sure?
Of course.
So be it.
Jigen, Goemon, I'm relying on you!
How did you know I was here?
You have underestimated the Italian Police.
Inspector Zenigata, I'll leave you to Lupin.
I'll check on the treasure.
No need to tell me that.
Lupin, I won't let you get away!
Pops, don't you see what going on here?
What do you mean?
This is the prison where Count Cagliostro was locked up.
I have never seen such splendor.
This is the Inheritance of Cagliostro.
Alright...
This is the most valuable stone of them all.
Here the famous trickster, indeed the famous alchemist,
created his private laboratory.
Lupin!
If you're looking for your gun, it's right here.
It seems impossible that he could build such a laboratory while he was imprisoned.
He probably bribed his jailer.
Either way, our Count of Cagliostro was just a romantic person.
What?
He created all of these riches,
just to leave behind proof of his love for the woman he met.
He sent one of these stones to young San Marino in the Crown of Liberty,
while another was put into Marie Antoinette's necklace.
Even that stone was meant for someone...
but we don't care about that.
The charade is over, Inspector Sergio .
Charade? What are you talking about?
You hurt my feelings with that stupid challenge letter,
but you wanted to know whether or not the inheritance of Count Cagliostro really existed.
Is he the Masked Count?
That's right, Fujiko!
But doesn't something feel off...?
What are you saying, Lupin?
The Masked Count did a great job of making sure we made it here.
A bit like with the pawns on a chessboard.
Stop with the chitchat and explain!
The Masked Count was with Fujiko.
And even Saro, the gossip reporter was with Rebecca.
He also worked alongside Pops.
as Inspector Sergio.
They are all the same person.
MI6's appearance was a bit overblown.
That's because you used them to get here.
Isn't that right,
Gaspare Balsamo?
How'd you know?
You were the one saying it.
Moreover, now we have more than the Masked Count to worry about.
Fujiko Mine, Rebecca, Inspector Zenigata...
We have to find the treasure before they do!
At that time, the only one who you knew had anything to do with Cagliostro's Inheritance was Fujiko.
Yet you mentioned both Rebecca and Pops.
You had already figured out that they were headed here, to the castle of San Leo.
Anyway it was obvious. You gave all of them different information.
You're nothing but a pawn who's too smart for his own good.
I guess he did act differently than Saro usually does.
Why did you trick us?
To honor the blood of Count Cagliostro which runs through my veins.
Taking people's hearts, using them as pawns,
choose a goal and get to the King.
Plus, if the name of my opponent is powerful,
my name will become legendary!
So, your goal...
was to deceive us all and finally take the Inheritance.
You wanted to create a modern version of the legend of Count Cagliostro.
Precisely.
However, he couldn't carry out the act to the end.
I was the first to get here.
What's going on?
Count, your game has come to an end.
Your ancestor was sure to protect his treasure from intruders.
But this is the universal solvent of alchemy, Alkahest!
Hold on a sec.
You mean to say that's what this was all about?
No! No! No!
Lupin! We'll end up at the bottom of this awful place!
I know!
Run away while you have the treasure right in front of you.
You lost, Lupin III.
You mean this treasure?
You didn't understand something very fundamental.
The challenge wasn't about "Who gets to the treasure first"
but rather "who ends up taking it", is not it?
I see the sad face of Count Cagliostro in your eyes.
What!?
Look at you, all you do is stake everything on the glory of the ancestors.
You did not become Count Cagliostro.
You have no right to say that.
Even for you it's the same, you live in the glory of your ancestor,
Lupin, the Phantom Thief!
I never knew that person was my ancestor.
Damn, you're heavy.
You don't need to help him.
I'm doing it as a favor.
There was a treasure that letter of defiance had not anticipated.
I am me and I'll do as I like.
I am Lupin III.
Lupin...
I'll leave the rest to you Pops.
What?!
Bye Bye!
Wait a minute!
Lupin!
If you really want to find a new Count of Cagliostro, that's Lupin.
Don't you think?
It was Lupin who gave the treasure he stole to the women he knew.
Both the Crown of Liberty, and the Marie Antoinette necklace.
Madam, since I must take care of the Rossellini family from the previous generation,
I must ask that you be considerate of what you do next.
I am me and I'll do as I like.
I am Lupin III.
Miss, are you listening?
Rob, I am me.
I'll do it my way, as I like.
I am Rebecca Rossellini.
I can imagine who is to blame ...
Let's have fun again, Lupin.
Rebecca!
Wait up!
Please wait!
You absolutely have to sign this!
Rebecca!
That was a masterpiece! Don't you think, Miss?
Miss Rebecca Rossellini.
This is for you.
Lupin...
I'll have you tonight. Lupin III.
