There's laboratory #7 of NASA...
...the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
I see. That's where they've hidden the microfilm...
...containing top secret files on how...
...to turn coal into "genuine" diamonds.
Right. I heard it was discovered by accident during a new metal processing experiment.
These smart guys come up with some outrageously amazing things!
They sure do! Unless we burn the plans...
...we won't have any fun stealing diamonds anymore.
ID number please.
ID number AZ2006!
Mine is DY7018!
Hey, Lupan, the security camera is staring at us!
Don't worry.
It records only at night.
The real problem is...
Please state your name.
Engineer, Ball McCartney.
Same, Orange Starr.
Please state the secret password.
"We don't know The Beatles."
- And the second password? - "Presley is number one after all."
And the third password?
- Hey, is there a third one?
- Not that I know of!
I repeat! What is the third password?
Darn it! There's not one!
That is correct. The third password is "There's not one".
That was close!
Let's see. Number 006706...
Here it is! Found it!
Let's hurry and nab the microfilm with...
...the artificial diamond production method.
Yeah! Along with Sample #1...
It opened!
What an awesome diamond!
Let's see... Where is the microfilm?
It's not here! The microfilm isn't in here!
The Great Chase in San Francisco (San Francisco Dai Tsuiseki)
Lupaaan!
Lu... Lu... Lu... Lupan... Lupaaaan!!
What's wrong, Pops?
Aren't you gonna come get me?
You bastard, Lupan. That was the last straw!
You're never going to get me like that, Pops!
Wait, Lupan! Wait!
Uh... It was just an illusion.
I'm not gonna last much longer...
...with Lupan's phantom haunting me...
Across the ocean is Japan...
Maybe I should give up on Lupan and...
No, no! I can't do that!
My journey is not over until I arrest Lupan!
It's not over yet, damn it!
Crap! I can't believe I've been cheated like this!
Just calm down, Lupan.
That's right. It wasn't a complete waste...
...we DID nab an awesome diamond!
Are you kidding? How can you guys be so calm?
It's amazing. It looks just like a real diamond!
That's why it could cause big trouble!
If such a thing can be easily created from coal...
...the market value of diamonds will decline to that of ordinary stones...
...including that of all the diamonds I have collected!
I don't think our adversary is THAT stupid.
Fujiko! Are you on their side?
no! It's not that!
But even if you do get hold of the microfilm...
...you have no intention of using it, do you?
Of course not!
I would burn the microfilm...
...that ruins the motivation of us thieves!
Beautiful things are valuable only as long as they're rare.
Well, it just seems like kind of a waste to me...
Since they managed to nab top secret stuff from NASA before we did...
...our adversary must be very skillful.
We already know they snuck into San Francisco.
I'll never let them get away...
This concludes our Japanese language broadcast.
Lupan! You can't escape from me! Wait!
Phew! He's just talking in his sleep.
Let's get this over with...
Lupaaan!
Lupan! As long as I live...
...I'll chase you to the ends of the earth!
To the ends of...To the ends of.....
Lupan must have really done a number on him.
Alright.Let's get started.
He must've had potstickers in China Town or something!
All right. All done.
Even Lupan won't suspect...
....that the microfilm is embedded in Zenigata's tooth.
Lupan!!
Not again! Come on! Let's go!
You think you can get away?
You're under arrest!
Finally I've captured you, Lupan!
At last I can go back to Japan! Zzz...
Boss, it was a success!
What took you so long?
Sorry. Boss.
He was asleep but it turned out to be precision surgery.
But now that microfilm is definitely in a safe place!
Our adversary is Lupan. He doesn't give up that easily.
Even Lupan won't be able to do much, even if he discovers the hiding place!
Our boss sure is smart!
All we have to do is to retrieve the microfilm...
...with a little surgery after things settle down.
Let me ask you one last time: Did you hide it THERE for sure?
Rest assured. We put it in his tooth.
Here, I've got a photo to prove it.
This is Zenigata! Pops!
I can't believe you guys did that!
Lupan!!!
You bastard!
It's not fatal.
Were you listening, Jigen?
Yes. I sure was!
Well, no wonder we can't find it anywhere in the house.
Of all the places they had to choose Zenigata's tooth!
My least favorite guy.
What shall we do, Lupan?
Shall I make him confess who their boss is?
That's not necessary.
We know where the microfilm is!
Still, Zenigata's tooth will be more troublesome to get into than any ordinary safe.
We have no other choice but to get it back somehow.
Lupan! You bastard! At last I caught you!
Lupan, are you determined to get the microfilm back at any cost?
Of course! I can't give up without even trying!
I'm out, because I'm not getting a penny out of this.
See ya, Lupan!
Sure. You just go.
But I'm not gonna give up!
Hey, Lupan. Zenigata is going into a clinic!
You can't sleep at night, you have no appetite to speak of...
...and you have very little motivation to work!
Also, it feels like I have a toothache. It's kind of itchy and...
On top of that...
...you have hallucinations of the same person, day and night!
Yes.
It's a typical case of depression.
Huh?
Depression?
Right.
Don't you feel like Lupan is watching you from somewhere?
I do! I do! I do!
I can feel the itch in my back.
Perfect! A text-book case!You are the home-run king of neurosis!
Home-run king of neurosis? Is my case that serious?
Yes. Forget about Lupan completely from this point on!
That's easy to say, but...
That's exactly why! That's so typical of the Japanese!
Your brain is gradually and steadily being infected by the phantom of Lupan...
...just like our great country of America is being infected by social problems.
So stand up, suffering warrior!
Uh... yes!
Let's unite to fight against the illness spoiling our country's freedom!
Now be courageous! What's the big deal with Lupan?
Great! Good job! Good job!
I'm not afraid. Dum-dee-dum! I'm not afraid.
I can do anything as long as I'm with you.
What in the world is going on in there?
Ah! I haven't felt this good in a long time.
Is this it? Is it all over?
There he is! There he is!
Now, shall we go arrest Inspector Zenigata?
I feel like I have a better appetite!
- Let's see. Shall I have some toast? - How would you like some Lupan?
Lupan. Again!
Hey, Zenigata! Pops! Long time no see...
Lupan shows up in front of me like this... Impossible!
What's wrong?
Have you given up on catching me?
I'm hallucinating again! This is just Lupan's phantom!
Amen! Somen! Nam-Ami-dah!
Peek-a-boo!
Hey, Pops! Wait!
Wait! Pops!
Car thief!
- Damn it! - Lupan, get in!
- Ah! Goemon! - Hurry up!
I must escape from Lupan's phantom at any cost!
Damn!
What a stubborn phantom! How's this!
He's speeding up like crazy.
Still, isn't this a little odd?
Why do we have to chase Zenigata?
You idiot! Watch out!
That was close!
Really. It was way too close!
Darn! What a persistent illness!
Okay, that's it. Let's put an end to this ridiculous chase!
Hey, Pops!
Are you all right?
He's still chasing me! Help!
Hey, wait, Pops! What's wrong?
Finally! Looks like I lost Lupan's phantom!
I seem to have rid myself of it. Huh?
there is a car coming. I'll ask for a ride.
You bastard!
Zenigata! Pops! I'll get you this time. Wait!
It's Lupan again! Get away! Get away!
Help! Help!!
Hey! Let me down!
Success! Now the microfilm is mine!
Lupan, watch out!
Oh, no!
At last, it looks like I'm rid of the nightmare!
I'm not afraid. Dum-dee-dum. I'm not afraid. Dum-dee-dum.
The right side is closed to traffic.
We did it! He was tricked by a painted tunnel!
Now, let's hurry up and retrieve the microfilm before he sinks!
- Waaaaanted! - Wait, Lupan. Look over there!
Whoa! It's them!
There!
I'm not gonna let that happen!
Hey, come on! Ah! Stop it!
He's pretty stubborn. Stop the boat!
There!
Ahhh! Dynamite!
We did it!
Look like Lupan isn't that tough after all.
Lupan won't die that easily. Let's hurry and get away!
You know me so well, Fujiko dear!
You know me so well, but you chose to side with my adversaries?
Die you bastard!
Besides, you don't seem to know how skilled Jigen is with a rifle.
What?
Un...Unbelievable!
Let's see.
I can't wait to hear your excuses, Fujiko dear!
Burning such a valuable production method for artificial diamonds...
... without even using once is just too wasteful.
Don't you agree, Lupan?
That's why you decided to snatch it?
She was blinded by the diamonds and decided to betray us.
It just proves that Fujiko is a real woman after all.
Darling, let's mass produce artificial diamonds ourselves.
Please. Can't we, Lupan?
When Fujiko dear talks to me this way...
...I don't know what to do. I'm a man, you know!
Hey, Lupan!
Zenigata is waking up. What shall we do?
Let's see. For now, let's just get the microfilm.
Well, Pops, open wide!
It's not there! It's not there! I can't find the microfilm!
What?
Flying. Flying. Plop!
Ah! I can't believe it!
Don't tell me our diamonds are at the bottom of the ocean!
Diamonds shine even more...
...when you put in the effort of stealing them!
That's the very philosophy...
...of us thieves.
Then, what happens to my philosophy?
What will happen, I wonder?
Once again I have realized my purpose in life.
Lupan, my purpose in life is to arrest you with my own hands!
Then, this is our destiny, to run away from you.
Then, let's run!
Wait! I'm not gonna let you slip away!
Wait! Wait! Wait!!
Run. Run. Run.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
I can't wait. Run. Run.
Wait! Lupan, stop!
My lovely Fujiko dear is getting married to a billionaire: Howard Heath!
But her target is the gigantic ruby that Heath possesses.
Suddenly a strange fever and black twister attack Fujiko.
