Lupin III...
Real name: unknown. Family and background: unknown.
There are claims that his grandfather was the infamous thief, Arsène Lupin,
but there's no proof to back up these assertions.
Just looking at the data, it's hard to tell whether he even exists...
Doesn't that make him perfect, though?
A celebrity targeted by police the world over,
who is also the most enigmatic man on the planet.
You know what they call people like that?
I don't know. Ghosts?
No. Heroes.
The Girl in the Twin Towers
Rennais has the ball as it goes from from Mexer to Prcić!
Prcić is marauding forward up the left wing!
Wow! Djidji manages to get between him and the ball for the steal!
It then goes to Rongier and then Gillet on the right of the field.
He slips through and fires off a shot!
But the keeper saves it!
What a miss!
So close!
Goddammit! How d'you miss a sitter like that?!
That's like your girl telling you she's good to go, but still finding a way to strikeout!
Ugh...
And you call yourself a man?! Sheesh.
Looks like I won the bet.
Hey, shut your mouth! There's still the second half to go!
One moment, please...
Sorry about that. What with the stairs and being on the fourth floor...
What's in the package?
Drugs.
What?!
Yup, all here.
They send drugs in the mail now?
Not just drugs.
Guns, women, cash... you can get anything on the internet these days.
Looks like the stuff's legit.
If you dig deep enough on the internet, you'll find an online store called Marco Polo.
And their merch is the real deal?
A glance at their customer reviews...
is usually all it takes to confirm if a place is delivering.
It's safer and more reliable than buying from the mafia,
and their secure payment system has no third-party involvement.
Cheap, fast, and convenient!
Thanks to these guys, a third of the drugs in circulation right now are distributed online.
Here you are.
Ah, that's the stuff.
We basically rented this room because of you and these galettes.
I'm glad the two of you enjoy the food here.
Yum! We should've come down here in the first place.
You're the one who was glued to the TV.
Enjoy!
So this time, this Marco Polo place is the target?
All their deals are done digitally.
So we're gonna swoop in and snatch all that dough.
Something doesn't sit right with me about stealing something you can't touch.
Digital currency or cold, hard cash: it's all the same.
Even down to the fact that you always need a key to open the safe.
We're heading for the cloud data center.
A massive server bank that was put together by a bunch of defense contractors.
Also known as the Twin Towers.
"Twin"?
I only see one.
The other one's down there.
In the ocean, huh?
Go down 128 meters and you'll find the manager's residential block.
The resident of that block is the one who has our key.
That's pretty damn deep.
We dealin' with a moleman here? Actually, a mermaid's more likely.
The only ocean this "mermaid" swims in is a cyber one, though.
A hacker?
Apparently, this individual put together Marco Polo's payment system.
"Thieves are in the shadows. All's right with the world."
Run infiltration tools...
Access as an administrator.
Isn't the key gonna be underwater?
The people guarding it probably are, too.
So first, we go up.
They cool the servers with seawater.
I only mess with blades when I'm shaving...
Oh, hold your horses.
How long's it gonna be off?
Fifteen seconds.
Plenty of time.
Let's do this!
Lupin!
And here we are, 128 meters below sea level!
The manager's residential block!
What's with the getup?
I'm gonna pretend to be family to try to get close to our hacker friend.
Man, does someone seriously live down here?
Yeah. The lease was set up five years ago.
A girl?
Who are you?
Oh, my dear Amy!
I'm your father!
But I suppose you don't remember me...
You were so little back then.
Wrong...
It's Ami, not Amy.
Wh-Whoa! Cut that out!
Whoa! Whoa!
You all right, Lupin?!
That was close! Not even a word of warning!
Hello, Underworld.
Run IDS sniffer.
Analyze any unauthorized access in the logs.
Transmit intruder data to security.
What's with this girl? Is she a robot?
It's the same tech as my monocle.
She probably had the gear surgically implanted, though.
Who are they?!
When did they sneak in?!
Hey, I thought you'd hacked the security system so they wouldn't notice us!
Someone's flushed us out.
Which means...
She's the real deal.
Intruders in the underwater manager's residence!
Response team, mobilize immediately!
Eliminate the intruders on sight!
Her aim was all over the place.
She's an amateur with that piece.
She won't hit you unless you're at point-blank range.
I thought as much.
Have you figured it out yet?
She's a smart cookie.
It might've looked like she was shooting wildly, but she's left herself some ammo.
A Baby Browning holds six rounds.
She's got one bullet left.
I'll head back in, then.
Hey, Lupin!
Sorry about all that "I'm your father" stuff before!
You don't think I'll shoot?
You couldn't if you wanted to.
Why not?
Because I'm actually a prophet.
Great. Here come the professionals.
Lupin, I can't hold out here for long.
If my prophecy is right, then you'll tell me about Marco Polo's backdoor.
Search: 26 ACP.
Display velocity and lethality summary.
You built the system, so I'm sure you put in a secret way to get into it.
I warned you.
Sorry about lying again...
You see, I'm actually a thief.
Access security footage from Camera 24. Six minutes ago.
But I suppose you don't remember me...
You were so little back then.
Reduce speed.
Let me introduce myself officially...
I'm Lupin III. A thief.
An exquisitely skilled one, I might add.
And you can steal anything?
Other than a woman's tears.
Execute 0-D attack on facility's management systems.
What's going on?!
You've got a deal, Lupin III.
You tell me about the backdoor...
And what do you want me to steal in return?
Me.
There are invisible chains keeping me here...
Consider it done. I'm an old hand at spiriting away melancholy young ladies.
Jigen, your path is clear.
Would it have killed you to take 'em down a bit sooner, Goemon?
Are you sure that tablet's where you want to focus your attention?
Do you know what the deep web is?
What is it? Some kind of music?
You could say that. The kind that makes you really happy...
What the hell?!
What do you mean?
I'm talking about Marco Polo!!
The ledger's been altered!!!!!
(Mad)(Mad)(Mad)!!!!!!
N-Not good...
My admin access has been revoked.
The cash transfer network we set up for money laundering's been hit, too.
What the hell?! Who's behind this?!
Would you look at that?
How much money do these guys make?
That's national budget territory.
Good work, Ami.
Where do you wanna go?
Anywhere is fine.
All I really wanted was to get out of there.
Were you being confined?
No. I was renting that room.
Because it was safe and comfortable.
But after staying there too long, I was no longer able to leave under my own power.
So? How does it feel to be back in the outside world after all this time?
It stinks!
That'd be the smell of gasoline.
Cram it! Gas-powered cars are way more manly!
How anachronistic.
Says the samurai...
The internet has everything.
Even services for just this kind of event.
Beautiful Soup, analyze HTML—
Hey, Ami.
What?
You haven't eaten anything since you got here, have you?
Is that a problem?
You'll die.
Yes, that is a problem.
I'll eat.
Whoa there!
I've got no strength...
You're not too bright, are you?
Man, oh man. We're babysitting an overgrown baby.
How long are we going to be playing house?
This girl would probably die if we left her on her own.
We wait until Lupin's ready to go.
Inspector Zenigata, the perimeter is in place.
Move in.
We don't want to give Lupin any time to react.
The cops?
Look. Zenigata's with them.
We've gotta run for it, Ami.
A smokescreen?!
We left the water route open for a reason.
Did we get him?!
A decoy?
Don't think you've managed to evade me just yet.
How did they discover the villa?
Because you stand out way too much!
Japanese people are not uncommon in France.
That's not what I meant.
Zenigata?
No, this is someone else.
I wasn't even speeding!
You weren't speeding yet, you mean.
Exactly!
Goemon!
Understood.
Have a nice day!
Those vehicles are out of reach.
You give up too easily!
Aw, my Fiat...
Save the goodbyes for later, Lupin.
Gotta wonder how people keep finding us.
The fault is not mine.
I've confirmed that it's not a transmitter, either.
Welcome
Mr. Ohno
I got our tickets to Dusseldorf.
Doesn't this scene strike you as odd?
Hey, you seeing this, Jessica?
What are you doing, kid?
It's the Lupin Game!
"Game"?
Look.
Hunting down the greatest thief of our time: Lupin III.
There's only one rule.
There are over a hundred million registered users...
Even if only 10% of that number remain active,
that means ten million people on Lupin's trail.
Oh, wow. Looks like you're the center of attention in a troublesome game, Lupin.
Updates
Goemon's got such good posture!! He really is a samurai LOL
That's Lupin III?
The world's greatest thief HA
Wasn't Lupin behind that thing a while back?
Where's Lupin going?
I hear he has hideouts around the world.
Oh, I remember that!
The airport. He's obviously flying.
It's probably a group of 3 men and 1 woman.
Some tickets were purchased 10 minutes ago for 3 men and 1 women.
They were headed for Dusseldorf on Berlin Air.
I get it.
So everyone in the world is a cop now, huh?
You hear about this Lupin Game?
It's apparently all about finding Lupin III...
And with people all over the world playing it on the internet,
it's a real pain in my rear end.
It's like everyone's a cop now.
Well, catch me if you can.
I didn't earn my rep by being the kind of guy amateurs can hunt down.
And so, tune in next time for "The Lupin Game."
The Lupin Game
Man, being famous ain't easy!
