Papa... Please save Lupin!
So Enzo's missing daughter... the one who was kidnapped is...
In a way, I'm responsible for the creation of PeopleLog.
Lupin's weakness is his "family."
Just as PeopleLog predicted.
Wait, Papa!
I'm Ami Enan.
I'm the daughter you had with Yuko Enan!
What happy news, Enzo!
You betcha. Our PeopleLog app managed to take down Lupin!
That's not what I meant.
Your daughter's alive, man.
Oh, that.
That's all you can say?
Stop trying to act tough.
Didn't you create PeopleLog for the sake of your daughter?
You know what? I think that might've been the catalyst, sure.
But now? It's irrelevant.
Mama's dead!
Is she?
You didn't know?
Well, she was my ex, after all.
What were you doing?
You didn't come to her funeral!
You never even looked for me!
Doesn't saving the world make a bigger difference
than rescuing one kidnapped child?
Lupin! You're under arrest!
What the hell is going on here?
Lupin III is being arrested.
And the age of heroes is coming to an end!
Just Then, An Old Buddy Said Something
A toast! To the capture of Lupin III!
They finally got that bastard, Lupin.
I heard one of his gang betrayed him.
What a joke!
Looks like Lupin's been arrested.
But he's just gonna break out again, isn't he?
There's no point in running anymore.
You can run all you want,
but PeopleLog will know exactly where you're headed.
There's nowhere in the world Lupin can hide now!
Hey, let's go down there and watch them lock him up.
Good idea!
PeopleLog knows where they're sticking him, too.
You're going nowhere!
PeopleLog knew where to find you two, as well!
It's been two weeks since Lupin III was arrested,
and the ICPO is finally preparing to transfer him.
They took their time, didn't they?
Apparently, his injuries were so bad, they had to wait for his condition to stabilize.
You there.
Mind removing the head of your costume?
A known criminal has been spotted wearing a costume like yours,
so we just need to check your identity.
Get back here!
Man, Lupin, what the hell has happened to the world?
Goemon.
What should I do with this?
I have defeated Lupin.
I am now the strongest in the world.
I'll hold on to it, then.
When you've served your sentence, you can have it back.
Goemon!
Fujiko Mine!
Take a good look at Lupin.
That's the only way you'll find the answer you're looking for.
Fujiko Mine, you're coming with us!
Fujiko.
If you want, we can get the government to reject the ICPO's request to hand you over.
Sounds good to me.
I'll let you boys keep me in your little cage a while longer.
Lupin will be back.
And he'll need a glittering prize to steal when he does show up, won't he?
It won't happen.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Lupin III and all master thieves like him
are nostalgic footnotes in history now.
Ling, I've thought up some new prediction vectors
that we can cook up using Bayesian probability...
I don't really remember you all that well.
And Mama never talked about you, so I thought it better not to ask.
It was never really a problem,
so I didn't try to find you.
But...
Oh, my dear Amy!
I'm your father!
He pretended to be my father,
but he couldn't even pronounce my name right.
So I took potshots at him.
Because I was angry as hell.
But it made me realize something.
Deep down, I'd always hoped my real father would come for me someday.
So—
Is this little monologue gonna go on for much longer?
Come back when you have a bullet-point version, yeah?
I'm very busy at the moment.
Quit staring, pal.
You're making me blush.
Lupin...
Don't look so blue.
I'm still alive and kicking.
Yes... I suppose you are, Lupin.
Remember the last time this happened?
When that gal tricked you...
You fell for her, but it turned out she was a guy all along.
You really are a magnet for trouble when it comes to women.
Laugh, Goemon!
Once something's over, you may as well laugh about it.
Lupin!
I mean, what else can you do at a time like this?
Dammit.
He went this way!
Don't let him escape!
I don't even get time for a smoke break.
Only one bullet left...
After his arrest, Lupin's being transported from Olig Island to Marseilles
From there, he'll be taken to ICPO HQ in Lyon
The container he's being transported in is apparently custom-made for ICPO use
This is some collar...
What was the decisive factor in catching the elusive Lupin III after all this time?
It's all thanks to the years of collaboration
between our organization and the police forces of our member states.
Sir, wait a second!
What are you saying?
Inspector Zenigata is the one who arrested Lupin!
No one's denying that Zenigata contributed greatly to this investigation.
A lot of people think that Lupin was only arrested thanks to PeopleLog.
It only had the data to predict Lupin's actions because
Inspector Zenigata was always on his tail!
His career has been stuck in a rut since the day
he was put on the Lupin investigation.
Didn't you just force this case on him?!
Making him a dedicated Lupin investigator...
That's like telling a salesman to hawk something nobody would ever want!
And in spite of it all, Lupin's finally in custody, and all you can do is...
That's enough, Yata.
Dealing with the press isn't our department.
But, sir!
Let's head back.
The job's not done until Lupin is behind bars.
Yes, sir.
Take a look at this.
The greatest criminal mastermind of our age, Lupin III,
is being ferried away.
A large crowd of onlookers has turned out to see the convoy.
Y'know, Yata...
I've been hunting Lupin for a long time now.
Caught him a few times, too.
And I wasn't the only one, either.
But in the end, he'd always get away.
That wasn't your fault, sir.
What I want right now...
...is for him to serve his debt to society,
and then, to share a drink with him.
That's why, Yata, I have to take him down by the book.
I need to make him realize that he's been beaten.
I need to arrest Lupin's heart.
There appears to be a broken down car blocking the road.
Stop the convoy.
There's no chance of an ambush out here.
They're stopping the convoy.
Those idiots.
Has something happened?
It's him.
He's here.
We need you to move your vehicle, sir.
Daisuke Jigen!
Drop the gun and get down on the ground!
Good grief.
Would it kill you to let me finish my cigarette?
I'm almost done.
What are you doing?!
He's all alone!
If he's resisting, shoot him!
But, sir—
Give me that!
Daisuke Jigen!
Cooperate or else I'll be forced to...
Looks like one gun isn't enough.
Lupin.
Yeah. It's Jigen, all right.
Can you help me up, Goemon?
Yata, we need to get out there.
Understood!
Hey, Jigen. 'Preciate the rescue.
Don't you think it's about time you hung up your hat, Lupin?
What are you talking about?
Retirement, Lupin.
I hate to admit it, but that Enzo guy's right.
Times have changed.
Yeah. You might have a point.
If I'm brutally honest,
there's a lotta crap going on now that I have trouble keeping up with.
I prefer it when things are simple.
Lupin, I've been running with you longer than anyone else.
Yeah.
I figure I'm the only one who can talk you into calling it a day.
It sure as hell ain't gonna be Fujiko.
"Just then, an old buddy said something to him."
"Said it was time to retire."
"The enemy was fierce!"
"Possibly the strongest adversary he'd ever faced!"
"His friends were all hurt,
and had lost their will to fight."
"What will happen to Lupin III?!"
"Does he have a plan for getting out of this one?!"
Give it a rest, Lupin.
Lemme ask you something, Jigen. With that kind of setup...
...can't you just hear it?
The sweet tunes, I mean.
"Tunes"?
Y'know, that achingly cool number that plays
when the hero's about to turn the tables.
Life isn't some kind of TV show, Lupin.
We oughta make it one, then.
Say what?
There's only one person in the audience of your life: yourself.
So what's the point if you don't care what happens next in the story?
"This is one hell of a tight spot!"
"Can he even get out of it?!"
"Maybe these bad guys are just too tough!"
"How can he possibly beat 'em?!" Like that.
I wanna look forward to what I do next.
And what if the ending doesn't turn out how you want?
"Goddammit!"
"Got my hopes up for nothing!"
"Guess I'll have to leave the comeback for some other time."
And what if the damn comeback never happens?!
Then, the audience loses interest and switches off.
And that's why, Jigen, until the day the story finally ends,
I wanna keep being Lupin III.
Lupin, I think I'm starting to hear it, too.
My own personal soundtrack.
You agree, don't you?
Where the hell has Lupin gone?
It's been a month and they still have no leads.
No hits on PeopleLog, either.
It just isn't possible.
Did Lupin III turn into the Invisible Man or something?
There's been no sign of Lupin III anywhere on the internet.
What the hell kind of trick did you pull, Lupin?
Could it be...
Maybe he's dead.
There's no way that's true!
And you believe in him, too.
You're more romantic than I gave you credit for.
Waiting for your prince to come and rescue you like this...
Well, for adults...
Sometimes, we need a bit of romance.
I've got all the money and fame I could ever want.
But...
Someone's posted on Lupin's PeopleLog.
It's from...
Lupin III?!
There he is! It's Lupin!
Finally!
The little bastard was still alive, after all!
"President Jack King and the oil companies have been colluding illegally"?!
Lupin posted this?
Is there any truth to this secret deal?!
PeopleLog gave it an A-rating!
You can't lie your way out of this one!
Get your ass out here, Mr. President!
It's not just America he's targeting...
China, France, India, the Saudis...
They're all in uproar about Lupin airing their dirty laundry.
PeopleLog has given every exposé written by Lupin an A-rating.
So PeopleLog has given Lupin its approval, huh?
The FCC is looking into regulating PeopleLog.
Russia's threatening to deport Shake Hands personnel
if PeopleLog isn't shut down!
We're being hit by an onslaught of cyber attacks!
Considering the scale, a government must be behind it!
The EU Parliament is talking about excluding PeopleLog
from their net neutrality regulations!
Tell them all that we're dealing with it!
If we get bogged down in details, we'll get nowhere!
I guess you steal more than just loot, Lupin III.
This is bad, Enzo.
Lupin's using PeopleLog to rile up countries around the world.
We should at least take his posts down!
Not happening.
Don't you care that the company might go under?!
You're talking about killing PeopleLog.
Collecting objective data in one place is PeopleLog's whole deal.
You've really done a number on us, Lupin III.
But where are you hiding?
Hey, Jigen. Goemon.
Got this from the old man.
It's Rebecca's response.
I have also prepared the fishing rod.
All right. Let's get this show on the road.
Here we come, Enzo.
Your story is about to get its climax.
Am I amazing or what?
I was able to avoid the entire world and disappear into thin air!
Looks like PeopleLog doesn't know me as well as they'd hoped.
The name's Lupin III, and I know this sounds a little egotistical,
but I'm the enigmatic master thief who can steal anything!
Wanna know more?
Then, make sure you watch the finale!
Next time: Viva Lupin III.
Viva Lupin III
You know where to watch it!
