I'm sorry I keep testing you.
Whenever I get into trouble,
you'd always appear in time...
and save me.
But the truth is,
I wish you wouldn't show up.
Hana.
I'm sorry.
- He's here. - All right. Let's go.
You're Miyoshi Tetta, right?
Who are you guys?
Stop right there!
Stop running! Hey!
Stop!
Hey!
Wait, darn it!
- Let go of me! - The time is 1:14pm.
You're arrested for obstruction of public duties.
Since the beginning of the year,
we've received over 20 reports of robbery where cash registers...
at self-service petrol stations were forced open...
using a shovel.
So?
This is one of them.
This is taken from a station's CCTV recording at Sumida.
That's you, right?
I don't think you carried out these robberies alone.
This has to be an organized crime. Who's giving you orders?
- No idea. - What do you mean by that?
Please handle it.
He's keeping it a secret.
That guy is just doing the dirty work.
He won't reveal any names so easily.
He will.
I'll make him.
- Kazuma. - Yes?
Relax.
I know you're trying to get into the First Division,
so you could marry your girlfriend sooner.
About the First Division...
It no longer matters.
These king crabs look divine.
They're fresh off the docks and I collected them.
Let's have crab hot pot tonight.
From the market you always visit?
Yes, the owner of the shop is still a crook...
and hasn't stopped false advertising.
- I'm back. - Hana.
Look. We're going to have crab hot pot tonight.
- It's huge, right? - No thanks.
Why not?
We should all enjoy it together.
- Hana? - Don't mind her.
We'll enjoy it ourselves.
- Found a big prey. - Yes?
What kind of prey, Wataru?
Starting from tomorrow, an art gallery in the city...
will be showcasing an incredible painting.
How incredible?
The famous dreamy creation of Anley Marcus,
"Reminiscence", will make its first public appearance in Japan.
It is valued at 10 billion.
10 billion? This graffiti-like thing?
No, no. 10 billion is still reasonable.
This painting contains many aesthetic forms.
Like over here.
It fully gives off the vibe of German expressionism.
- And here... - Hush, Takeru.
A man spouting nonsense is the worst.
Wataru, why is this painting being shown in Japan?
This painting belongs to a dirty politician who quits...
after spending all the government funds.
The special exhibition is free admission.
Pretending to be a good guy?
Looks like he still has ambitions to get back into politics.
A painting destined to be stolen.
But there's a problem.
An international thieves group is also targeting it.
International thieves group?
- Don't tell me... - Do you know who is it?
They carry out their crimes at luxury collectible shops...
or art galleries.
The world's leading thieves group.
- They're known as... - Black Mamba.
Black?
Mamba!
It's a species of extremely venomous snake.
One bite means death.
That's right.
They will do anything to get what they want.
They are heartless killers.
I see.
So we're going up against them this time?
Interesting.
Let's find out who is the better thief.
Gosh, this is making me excited now.
The thieves' world cup.
I'm going to find out more.
I'll go too.
What? Hana?
We're not going there to marvel at art.
I know.
It's going to be dangerous. You might even die.
I know.
Are you really going to go?
Yes.
Because I am...
the daughter of thieves.
(Daughter of Lupin: Episode 6)
(Japan's debut)
"Reminiscence" is placed in the middle of the gallery.
There are three cameras within the area alone.
The painting is being closely watched by security.
Okay, let's begin.
Excuse me, where is the toilet?
It's over there.
Wait, Mom. Don't do that.
Are you okay?
Hana, now is the time.
Sorry, I'm not strong enough.
Could you help me?
Measuring.
Length, 124cm.
Width, 77cm.
Height, 241cm.
Oh no, fall back.
This is the main hall. Yes, the painting is fine.
Hana, retrieve it and go.
Understood.
- What happened? - I'm not sure.
Nobody pressed the alert button, but...
Let's call the police, just in case.
Call the police.
I found you, L clan.
Hana.
What are you doing, Hana?
Retrieve the ladybug now.
Wataru, what happened?
I let my guard down.
The glass case...
will activate the alarm as soon as it detects any heat source.
That was designed to detect body heat.
Ladybug No. 3 releases heat when measuring.
It needs to be improved.
Oh well, guess we have to wait.
Hana, you're out.
- What? - You're out of this operation.
Why?
You were not focusing on the task at hand.
That's unacceptable. You're not fit to be a thief.
Got it.
Thanks for your hard work, Officer Hashimoto.
Thank you.
Officer Hashimoto came to pass us...
the extra information on the thefts.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Please excuse me.
Kazuma, you're off tomorrow, right?
Yes.
Sorry, but could you accompany me?
Okay, sure.
Hana.
You haven't been going to work at the library recently.
Did something happen?
Sorry.
I don't really want to talk right now.
Well then,
how about we sing?
Singing is even worse.
Did you break up with your boyfriend?
I could tell immediately from your expression.
My secret has been found out.
That I'm part of the L clan.
Is it okay for you to be out here?
You need to hide.
No.
Why?
He's a cop. He's going to come for you sooner or later.
That's good.
I'm mentally prepared for it.
It's not just you.
Mr. Takeru and the rest will also be at risk.
Do they know that you've been exposed?
There's no way I could tell them.
But Kazuma...
I know he wouldn't tell anyone.
Because if he did,
I would've already been arrested.
How rare.
You're actually drinking alone at night.
Here you go.
Delicious.
Hey, Dad.
Yes?
If...
Mom had been lying to you the whole time,
what would you do?
Lie?
Like...
Perhaps she's actually a criminal?
What nonsense are you talking about?
If you can't even see through such a big lie,
you're not qualified to be a cop.
That's ridiculous.
I guess you're right.
But...
If that was really the case,
what is the hidden truth behind the lie?
It takes a real cop to be able to decipher that.
The truth behind the lie.
Good morning.
I'll be in your care today.
Wait a minute. Where is Mr. Maki?
He's not here.
What?
Sorry, Kazuma.
Work suddenly came up.
- I'll go too then. - No, it's fine.
You need to have some fun with other women too.
Take your mind off things, you know?
Other women?
- Don't look at me. - Sorry.
Talk to you later.
Wait...
Come, let's go.
Where to?
Wait...
Don't tell me...
"The sound of crickets."
"Will grow dim one day."
"Becoming empty shells."
Guess we're doing haiku.
Your turn.
Sorry.
I'm not really in the mood to...
I'll continue with the next one then.
"I like flowers."
"But they wither away."
"Is this what life is?"
What are you doing?
We didn't finish our surveillance.
I told you you're out.
So sorry.
I heard from Junichi that you've been down lately.
So, I made a request...
to take you out alone.
I see.
Since I'm the same gender as your girlfriend,
you're welcome to tell me whatever is bothering you.
Thank you.
But it's all right.
I suppose so.
It won't change anything by telling me.
No, I didn't mean that.
This isn't something that can be solved...
just by putting in some effort.
Me and her.
I suppose we were never meant to be.
Did you really break up with Kazuma?
I see.
I know you are burdened by continuing the L clan's lineage.
I suppose it's too much for you to bear.
As a father,
I couldn't allow you to live freely.
I feel sorry for you.
But...
Leaving the responsibility to a homebody like Wataru...
is not an option.
It doesn't matter now.
I understand.
I can't run away from my fate.
No matter how far I run,
I will still be a part of the L clan.
So I might as well...
accept it and go on living.
That's what I've decided.
So please, let me continue.
This will put an end to my relationship with him.
All right.
Well then.
Okay.
Hey.
Sorry.
Please look at me.
I hope you'll pay attention to me.
Sorry, that was too much.
Excuse me.
You're still as lovely.
Gosh, I'm already 55 years old.
- You don't look it. - I'm back.
Welcome back, Hana.
Mr. Enzoji.
It has been a long time, Enzoji.
It has been a while, Mr. Takeru.
I've heard.
You helped us with the lasers set by that female thief.
I could handle something like that.
What are you doing here?
What else? To thank him for his help.
- Come, have some more. - Thanks.
The wine I collected from Ito's on the 32nd floor yesterday.
The Port red wine.
Let's serve our guest with that.
It didn't feel right to come empty-handed, so...
I collected this while I was in Tuscany.
Fine red wine.
That's Enzoji, always so thoughtful.
It doesn't matter which one. They're all stolen.
It makes me sad though that you're leaving again.
Are you?
Yes, there is a big job at Liechtenstein.
You've surely grown.
You're now a thief who has traveled the world.
That reminds me...
of when you two were still young.
You guys used to play the game of thieves at the courtyard.
I remember it too.
You're just as good as Hana.
Your talent for stealing is remarkable.
But then, I always lost to Hana.
Where is Wataru?
He's in his room. Wataru!
I'm listening.
You look good, Akiyo.
How is the Unicorn prototype doing?
Not too bad.
But as a tapping device,
it's a little too big.
I thought so.
I'm going to improve it. Will you help take a look?
Sure, no problem.
Enzoji and Wataru as still as close as ever.
Right. They've always been like brothers.
If he marries Hana, we'll be real brothers.
Wataru.
I already think of you as my real brother.
Me too.
That's great, Wataru.
Right, how nice to have a dependable little brother.
Quick, shut it off.
- Sure... - Indeed, a thief needs to be...
Right?
I should get going.
Sorry for the trouble.
You're leaving already?
Tomorrow will be an early start.
Do come and visit us again when you're back.
- Take care. - I will.
Hana, can we talk?
Okay.
Hana.
You're not holding back, are you?
Not at all.
Why do you ask?
I heard from Ms. Etsuko.
You guys are going up against Black Mamba, right?
Yes.
Those guys are bad news.
They're different from everyone you've taken on so far.
It's better to be careful.
I will.
Thank you.
There's no need.
I will be troubled if anything were to happen to you.
What?
When I was a boy
I used to think of you
As an adorable little sister
But now
You are
Someone
I really cherish
I'll sing the rest of the song when I come back from Liechtenstein.
Because it is not my style...
to take advantage of a girl while she's sad.
I'm going to go now.
Okay.
Safe trip.
I'm off.
- An arrest warrant? - Yes.
I received the order from the top brass just now.
Arrest the L clan by any means necessary.
Any means necessary?
The L clan leaves no traces behind.
But if it means getting them arrested,
fabricating evidence is not a problem.
Fabricating?
No, I know I shouldn't be saying this,
but I don't think L clan is that evil.
This is an order from the top.
We have to follow it.
The top.
Even so, we have no idea when or where they will appear next.
Where do we even begin?
Currently, there is an exhibition...
showcasing a painting, "Reminiscence",
which is valued at 10 billion.
I'm sure L clan has their eyes on it.
They will be there.
One minute remaining to finish measuring.
Heads up. The police are here.
Wataru, hurry up.
Thirty seconds remaining.
Ten seconds.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Complete.
Retrieving Ladybug No. 3.
Ready to fly.
What's the matter?
Oh no, it's not moving. There's an error.
We can't wait any longer. Let's go.
No, we can't leave the ladybug behind.
Thanks for coming.
It's this way.
- This is the "Reminiscence"? - Yes.
What is it, Kazuma?
Nothing.
- An alert? - Yes.
But the painting was fine.
We figured someone...
must have accidentally triggered the alarm.
Sorry.
Can we have access to the CCTV footage from that day?
Sure. Please follow me.
What is that old woman doing?
May I?
Kazuma.
Did you find something?
Mr. Maki, Miyoshi has confessed.
Okay.
Is that the truth?
I already told you, didn't I?
So you were following orders from the Black Mamba?
Does this mean they're currently in Japan?
Probably, I'm not sure.
I think they said something about stealing an expensive painting.
Painting? The one called "Reminiscence"?
How should I know?
I already confessed, so give me a lighter sentence, okay?
Yes, sorry.
I'll do my best.
I will finish what I'm supposed to do.
It's still a no.
Why?
The ladybug's laser is incapable of cutting the glass.
You're telling us this now?
It is what it is. This is the result after all the calculations.
You'll just have to improve it.
That would take at least two more weeks.
The exhibition will end before that.
Is there no other way?
The only way is to break the glass by force.
We, the L clan will never use such an inferior move.
So what then? Are we giving up?
No.
I have a good idea.
What good idea?
Make use of them?
Yes.
In order to catch L clan,
we'll use the Black Mamba.
How are we going to do that?
Kazuma.
I'm only telling you this.
It's okay to kill the L clan...
if you find them.
This is the order from the top.
What do you mean?
As for the public statement,
we will place the blame on Black Mamba.
Wait a minute.
This is preposterous. Whose order is it exactly?
I don't know!
But it's not somebody we could oppose.
This is an order issued by the top classified body.
If we say no,
our place here will be gone.
How could this be?
Hana.
Grandma.
Hush.
What's the matter?
The police officer that came to the gallery today was Kazuma.
He's probably looking for clues about L clan.
Hana, is this really okay?
It's too late to back out now.
That man. He's a member of Black Mamba.
I see. Are we really going to let them steal the painting?
It will happen if they use any means necessary.
They're involved with all sorts of crime in Japan lately.
They're getting gangsters to rob petrol stations.
Their luck runs out today.
It's time for their punishment.
They're dangerous people. Will it be okay?
It will be a piece of cake if we're the ones doing it.
Wait, let me go alone.
Wait a minute, Hana. What are you saying?
It'll be okay. I can do it alone.
Let me.
No way.
All right.
But we'll take action as soon as there's trouble.
Okay?
Dear...
Kazuma, it's time. Let's go.
Okay.
Hana, what's the matter? Time to go.
I'll be back, Grandpa.
Hana.
Dear, is it really okay to let her go alone?
We haven't done our jobs properly as parents.
Hopefully, this will help her forget.
Mr. Maki, are we really going to do nothing?
It's okay. I've called for backup.
They wouldn't be able to escape.
Now we wait for the L clan.
Yokosuke, wait here for orders.
- Okay. - Kazuma.
The game ends here.
I will wrap up all the bad things...
you've done into a nice bow.
What is this?
Who are you?
It's your tough luck meeting me today.
For all the crimes you've committed,
learn penitence.
I have the painting. I'm on my way back.
Good work.
That's the Hana we know. I worried for nothing.
Just a piece of cake.
Takeru.
Oh no, we're totally surrounded.
See? What did I say?
The police are entering. This is an emergency.
Hana, hide the painting.
I prepared an escape route through the basement.
I'll get you from there. Go now.
Okay.
Hana, are you okay?
Hana?
Takeru, this seems serious.
We need to save her.
The police might find us here too.
You guys head back.
Dear, please take care of Hana.
Where did you put the painting?
Stop!
You can kill her after she talks.
Hana.
The thieves are confirmed to be in the machinery room.
They have a woman dressed in a red bodysuit with them.
Red bodysuit? It must be the L clan.
They're here after all.
I'll be right there.
Got it.
Kazuma, are you listening?
Yes.
Do you remember what I said last night?
It's okay to kill the L clan if you find them.
Yes.
We've completely surrounded the L clan.
They'll get shot even if they get out.
We might as well...
Stealing with good intention is still stealing.
They're criminals. They don't deserve compassion.
Get them. The only way is to get them.
Criminals?
- Who is this? - Don't you remember?
You caught him.
Hana!
What happened?
The perpetrator was already knocked out before I got here.
I found you.
Hana.
What is the hidden truth behind the lie?
It takes a real cop to be able to decipher that.
No.
They're not criminals.
Kazuma?
I found them, Mr. Maki.
L clan members are in the storage locker too.
What?
I need backup right away.
Got it.
Yokosuke, go and help him.
Roger that.
Is that so? Understood.
We found the painting. Too bad for you.
Do it.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Sorry, we have...
I want to break up with you.
Why?
Is it because you dislike my family?
No, it's not.
Then is it because you dislike me?
Definitely not.
I'm with the police!
Kazuma.
Are you okay, Kazuma?
I've got the people from the thieves group.
And L?
How about the L clan?
L...
They got away.
I'm sorry.
Run.
Hurry.
They must be here somewhere.
- Search for them. - Yes, sir.
Hana, this way.
Sorry, I didn't get the painting.
Who cares?
That piece of graffiti can be found everywhere.
Let's go.
Good. There's no way out.
Right.
Nobody's here.
Yokosuke.
(L Clan Escapes Again)
Kazuma.
The boss wants to see you.
Okay.
Hana.
Sorry for coming to see you at your workplace.
It's okay.
Your wounds. Are you okay?
I'm sorry. It's all because of me.
It's not your fault.
Today, I am transferred to the First Division.
Because I've been performing well lately.
But I can't take all the credit.
You contributed to it too.
I didn't do anything.
I still wish to be with you.
I finally understood.
You've been suffering all this while, haven't you?
You've been enduring it alone.
That's why you wanted to break up.
I'm sorry...
for not realizing your pain sooner.
I'm so sorry.
I'll be the one who protects you from now on.
So,
let us cross this destiny together.
Please marry me.
(To be continued)
I hope you'll understand who I really am.
(The engaged female thief's secret)
We will now begin the wedding ceremony.
(A cop is continuing the legacy of the family of thieves?)
Please take care of the L clan.
Someone's actually supporting the L clan.
You and I are on the same boat.
(This drama is a work of fiction.)
