Lupin!
The border patrol.
Inspector, you have to come back!
Unhand me, Yata!
I'm still off-duty!
Let's go, Zenigata.
Lupin's dead. Now, it's up to us to do what only we can do.
If anything happens to me...
...can you look after the girl?
That damned idiot...
I'm going to do...
...something only I can do.
A Crook's Resolve
And once again, I'm no longer my wife's favorite male in her life.
Now, she's crazy about Ricky, the search-and-rescue dog!
The whole world's going to join hands!
Just like this.
More news now on the recent dismantling of an art forgery ring...
The chief of the French Central Directorate of the Judicial Police, Albert d'Andrésy,
has said his organization's collaboration with
Say...
the General Directorate for Internal Security
Do you remember that game everyone was going nuts over a while back?
was key to the success of the investigation.
Which one?
You know, the one about catching that thief.
Oh, that one. I think it ended when the thief was killed, didn't it?
Do you remember his name?
No...
I think it was something Asian-sounding, wasn't it?
That's what I thought.
Inspector Zenigata, you're going to be working narcotics from now on.
That's not fair, sir!
The inspector was just trying to arrest Lupin—
And it was broadcast to the entire world.
He was seen assisting a known criminal.
You've been chasing Lupin all this time, but now, he's dead.
Enough is enough.
I understand, sir.
I-Inspector Zenigata!
You've moved departments?
Yeah. I'm working narcotics now.
Lupin's not dead.
I haven't seen his body.
Say, Zenigata...
This pasta called "soba" is pretty good! Yeah...
You think so? Glad you like it!
Zenigata
I'm heading out.
Have a safe trip.
What is it?
Is this really necessary?
Routines are important!
You stay at my place, you play by my rules.
Hello, Underworld.
Verify session information from crawl.
Check stacks.
Once indexing is complete, run a search. Check all unique passwords.
Activate IP camera network.
To Amy
I am here to deliver a message.
Marco Polo's up again
I know their system was attacked
Back online for a day and we make over 2 mill in sales. Even if we had to take some risks to get up and running again...
Seems like it was worth it, after all
Don't celebrate just yet
We're still in the red
The longer we stayed shut down, the more customers we would've lost.
It's a gamble, but a necessary one
And we've already won
At this rate, we'll have recovered our losses within a year
Don't celebrate just yet
Seems like it was worth it, after all
We're still in the red
The longer we were shut down,
I just got a message from someone interesting
Lemme forward it to you guys
"Underworld"?
This is probably whoever set up that backdoor
What do they want now?
I'll go meet them
Don't be stupid
You can do whatever, but count me out
What the hell are you thinking, Peeca Boo?
I wanna try something I saw in a movie once
Check it out
This girl has to be Underworld
Be careful
Nothing's certain yet
Welcome to Marco Polo's castle!
Castle? Seems more like an amusement park.
So just how crazy are you?
Wanting to work for us, I mean...
I can turn the Marco Polo website into something a bit less shoddy.
You've seen how scary getting hacked can be, haven't you?
You've got the nerve to ask me that question?
Who better to ask it than me?
Have a seat.
Don't expect anything to drink, though.
Why is there only one seat?
The deal was to meet face-to-face.
You seriously think we're on even terms here?
Do you think I made only one backdoor?
Threats, huh? Well, in that case...
I thought stuff like this only happened in movies.
Same here. But I wanted to give it a try for real.
This makes you the bad guy, you realize?
We've both been "bad guys" from the beginning.
You're a hacker, and I'm a drug dealer.
Let me get to the point.
Tell me about Lupin's collection.
Is that why you agreed to meet me?
You hung around with Lupin for a bit.
Hideouts, passwords... Tell me everything you saw.
We're going to take back everything he took from us, and then some.
Don't expect the water to suddenly stop rising, either.
I'm the crook, after all.
When I first touched a computer, I was so excited...
I could go anywhere and meet anyone.
It felt like my horizons had suddenly expanded.
I know what she means.
That's how I felt when I got my first motorbike...
I got praise for the code I wrote.
From all over the world.
And people stopped treating me like a child.
Peeca Boo, how long are you going to let this monologue drone on for?
I was able to get information, money, and security with ease.
I don't want your life story!
Tell me about Lupin!
After a while, it stopped being exciting.
But I didn't have the courage to break the status quo.
That's when he showed up from the hellhole I called "the real world."
And I decided to accept his invitation to go outside.
Tell me about Lupin!
Why do women insist on babbling about junk that doesn't matter?
But the real world was every bit as crappy as I thought it would be.
Inconvenient, unpleasant, oppressively hot...
Not to mention, dangerous.
Drop the tough girl act already!
You're gonna die, bitch!
But... it was exciting!
It gave me the best high I'd ever had!
That idiot! Why'd she have to be stubborn?!
Why are you calling me?
Is your real name Chuck Glay?
Because our pics were just posted on Happy Deathday!
All three of us! With our real names!
What?!
Look at the bounty
It's the same amount Lupin stole from us
But Lupin's dead!
His friends must've done it!
Shit...
Then, we'll beat them at their own game.
Put Jigen and Goemon on there!
It'll make no difference!
Even if we do that, our names will still be on the site!
What's going on?!
Hey, Chap!
I just heard a gunshot
Is it... an assassin?
I'm out for now
See ya
Damn it! Don't you dare!
Sounds like the hitmen have already found you.
The hell is this?! How can you still talk?
If you're curious, why don't you come down here?
Let's make a deal. I can take your name off that website.
You think I'd believe you?
You think you have a choice?
First, we meet in person. We can discuss the particulars afterwards.
You're serious about being able to get my name taken down, right?
I hacked it before when I was trying to get Lupin's name removed.
I just didn't get there in time in his case.
Fine. You get my name off there, and I'll help you.
"Help"?
I'm pretty sure I'm the one helping you.
We're equals in this deal.
I get it.
I'll pick my words more carefully from now on.
It's open...
I'm here, Underworld!
Now, help us!
No way...
Lupin III?!
Impossible!
You're... supposed to be dead!
And...
It's just an AR filter.
I knew all about your dorky little trap.
So I made sure there was a way out, and got Amy to whip up a watery AR filter.
To Amy
I get it!
You're alive because—
Kinda slow to catch on, aren't you?
That drone was ours all along.
Amy used AR to make it look like I was dead to everyone watching.
Standing in the right spot to match the filter was a real pain, though.
You've been dancing to my tune this entire time.
Fujiko was meant to be the one to make the kill,
but Old Man Zenigata's intervention meant there were a few alterations to the plan.
That bastard Lupin...
The whole time he was in Bwanda...
He had us figured out!
You're not going anywhere, kid.
Bye-bye, you two.
It was fun while it lasted.
Move an inch and I strike.
We have your partners' locations as well.
Jigen and Goemon are putting them in a timeout as we speak.
Your gun's not a toy, right?
Ready to play a game where it's your life on the line?
Because if you don't have the guts to do so, you shouldn't be a crook.
You should choose the safe life, obeying the rules that others have made for you.
Here it comes...
That's far enough, Lupin!
Pops? But how?
I left him a note.
Excuse me? Why would you—
Lupin...
Shoot him and you'll get sent down for murder.
You're not even a little surprised about the fact I'm alive?
Did you seriously think I wouldn't catch on to your little scheme...
when I saw it play out in front of my eyes?
And here I was thinking the smoke would've made a difference...
Hang on a tick, pal.
We're not done chatting.
This old guy right here is Zenigata from the ICPO.
That makes him the enemy of every crook.
What's the call? You could always turn yourself in, instead.
Cough up enough info and they might even keep you safe for a decade...
...behind bars.
Time to choose: your life? Or your freedom?
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One—
Save me!
T-Take me in, Inspector!
I was selling drugs on the internet! So, please...
And you'll testify to that?
Anything you want! Please!
All right.
Looks like you were never a match for me.
See ya, Pops!
Hold it! Lupin! Amy!
It's Ami.
Zenigata... Thank you.
No need to thank me, kid.
Don't leave me alone!
I'm begging you!
We're gonna have a nice long chat!
After all, narcotics are my thing right now.
It's done.
Calling to thank me?
Just giving you the heads-up.
This was business.
Even though you turned to me in your hour of need?
Well, out of all the women I know, no one can lie quite like you.
Seems like a bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss...
You already got the bounty from Happy Deathday, didn't you?
Miss Drone Fighter.
I suppose so.
Payment was received, as promised.
The job is done.
No reason... to keep talking, then.
Yeah. There's nothing to say.
Well... Not between us, anyway.
It's no problem at all.
You're regulars, and I know you both.
Here.
Thank you so much.
This old coot's gone senile, I tell you.
You're the one who forgot the pepper.
No, it was you!
The people from upstairs?
Yeah. They hadn't come down here in a while, so I was a little worried about them.
Zenigata has been allowed to return to his previous department.
Yeah. Apparently, that was his reward for bringing down Marco Polo.
Guess I'm back to playing hide-and-seek with Pops.
What a pain in the neck!
I must say, this massive pot of shabu-shabu is delicious.
It's cheese fondue, man!
By the way, where's Ami?
She's at school.
A boarding school, that is.
Think you can make it on your own?
I don't know.
Come now...
But I'm excited.
I see. Well, that's good.
Yeah.
Hey, Lupin, remember when I asked you why you don't just retire?
Yeah.
You've stolen enough money to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your life, right?
And it's not like you're obsessed with art.
No shortage of ladies, either.
I've been wondering this whole time why you'd keep doing...
something as dangerous as being a thief...
And what's your diagnosis, doc?
Because it's exciting.
You should've seen the look on her face.
Anyway, I wanted to run something interesting by you two.
Is that Spain? The map's reversed, though.
Let's hear it.
Yeah.
You're gonna find this one pretty exciting, guys.
I'm Fujiko Mine.
Our target this time is a smart safe!
It has a feature that lets it analyze the performance of a human brain.
POWER
The smarter you are, the harder it is to open!
Wait a sec. How's Lupin going to open it?
How does a genius rid himself of his genius?
Wisdom
Looks like this is going to take some work, Lupin.
Next time: Lupin vs. the Smart Safe.
Lupin vs. the Smart Safe
I hope you're ready for this one, Lupin.
