Who are you?
I am one of the biggest fans of your magic, Master Chin.
Oh, thank you. Please wait a moment.
I'll wash off my make-up.
From what I can tell, young lady, you appear to be Japanese.
Strange.
He has no idea there's a wiretap built into the glasses frame.
Now I can locate the bones of the Peking Man.
"Where Are the Peking Man's Bones?" (Peking Genjin no Hone wa Doko ni)
It sure is hot. I can't stand it.
Lupan, I've found you.
I won't let you get away!
This is a special sampan made by the Hong Kong police.
Ah, that feels good. The sweat's gone.
Again, Pops?
He's still on to me!
Master Magician Tonnan Chin
There!
- That's brilliant!
- Not as brilliant as you.
Po...Pops!
Now, would anyone from the audience be kind enough to assist me?
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I'll do it! I'll do it! Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Lupan?
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Wait, Lupan, wait!
Lupan?
- Hurry! Do it now!
- I won't let you.
- Open this door!
- It's at maximum capacity.
- I don't wanna be stuck in here with a man. - Open this, Lupan!
You'll break it! You'll break it! And now, everyone...
...I'll show you my favorite trick. With a simple poke of my sword...
...he will instantly turn into a skeleton. What a terrifying, murderous game!
Everyone, what do you suppose has happened inside?
Please have a look!
Lupan... Whoa, a skeleton!
Hey, where'd you put Lupan?
1, 2, 3!
Gee, thanks for saving me.
Don't mention it. I helped you because you are Lupan The 3RD.
Huh?
Actually, I have a favor to ask of the prestigious Lupan The 3RD.
A favor?
Would you find this person for me?
Her name is Koran.
She's pretty.
I believe she will soon turn 60.
But when she was young, she was very beautiful.
I sincerely need your help. Please, I'm begging you.
I am a little bothered by her being 60 years old.
OK, leave it to me, I couldn't refuse a request of my benefactor.
Oh, you will? Thank you so much.
Ko Shuzen!
Huh? Oh, you have company.
Don't call me by my real name in front of strangers.
I thought you were alone.
- So, how did it go?
- It was hopeless.
I thought so.
Who is that?
His name is Lupan.
What? He's Lupan The 3RD?
Be quiet!
Ko Shuzen, Ko Shuzen... I've heard that name somewhere...
Be careful.
Be careful?
Wait, you wench! Are you just gonna walk away?
I'm sorry.
Hey, she's my kind of a hottie.
Oh, no, never mind! Putting that aside, will you go out with me, young lady?
- I'm in a hurry. Tsai jien.
- Tsai jien? That means good-bye.
Hey, it's gone! My wallet's gone!
Damn. A female pick-pocket.
How pathetic.
This photo!
A cutie-pie like her, a pick-pocket...
The world's gone down the toilet.
Huh?
Fujiko! I didn't know she was still in Hong Kong.
I wonder what she's doing?
If I have questions, I need answers.
You are Ms. Fujiko Mine, right?
You have a guest waiting in the lobby.
Oh, really?
Here, thanks.
Now what is Fujiko dear conspiring?
Ko Shuzen, Research Assistant at the Peking Union Medical College...
...where the Peking Man's bones were formerly housed...
...had his face surgically altered...
...and is currently known as a magician by the name of Chin Tonnan.
I see. I thought there was something strange about the master magician.
Hey, what's this?
Hey, is it all right to have Lupan searching for Koran?
Don't worry. There's no way he could know our secret.
After all, I gave the skull of the Peking Man to Koran...
...telling her it was the skull of her husband who had died in the war.
Peking Man? I get it.
The guy who stole it was Ko Shuzen.
But why did you give it to a woman like her?
I realized that in time the value of the bones would skyrocket.
So I fixed my eyes on a woman with a solid background.
There's no place more secure for the bones than a family grave.
However...
Koran's family was killed in the Second World War...
...and she disappeared with the bones.
I see. So that's the story.
Fujiko's coming back. I think I shall play a little prank on her.
The lobby was empty. Just a bad joke, I guess.
You idiot!
Check every hotel thoroughly!
It's a solid fact that Lupan is in Hong Kong!
That's the voice of Inspector Zenigata.
Oh, no. Where did I go wrong?
Warning?
Warning. It's dangerous for a woman to approach Ko Shuzen alone.
From Lupan, with love.
Lupan!
Now it's study time.
"Sinanthropus pekinensis. A primitive predecessor of modern man.
"The bones were found in Zhou Kou Dian, southwest of Peking...
"...and are thought to originate from the early Diluvial epoch.
"However, the bones were lost during the Second World War...
"...and are still missing."
I see. If we find them, it'll be the find of the century.
You don't have to be Fujiko to want them.
So, Lupan, what are you going to do with these bones?
It's quite possible they're right here in Hong Kong!
We'll find them and add them to the Lupan Collection.
The heat must've gotten to you.
Who's the dumbo who suggested we take a vacation in Hong Kong?
Is drinking Scotch from dawn to dusk your idea of a vacation?
How about you, Goemon?
Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation!
Who'd wanna touch bones in this heat? Right, Goemon?
I don't want to make an enemy out of Lupan...
but he butted in, so, I'll be keeping a close eye on his movements.
I'm exhausted. Where did that cute pick-pocket go?
My only clue is that one photo.
Let's see. Let's see.
It's Lupan! I've found him!
Lupan!
Eat and run, no good! Hai-ya!
Stop, Lupan!
Uh-oh!
Oh, my! Hey, it's a dead-end.
What'll I do?
Lupan, it's all over for you at last.
It's been a very long time.
I'm capturing Lupan!
Hey, you're...
Why you...! I'll arrest you for obstruction of justice!
She's a female Bruce Lee.
Wow, cool!
That was just like a Hong Kong karate movie!
- Now, hurry!
- What?
This way.
It won't fall on me, right?
Stop, Lupan!
Ouch!
I've been looking for you, lady Bruce Lee.
My name is Shunran.
Will you return the photo that you took from me, Shunran dear?
That's why I've been looking for you, as well.
Why did you have this picture?
It's no big deal, really.
Someone asked me to find this person, that's all. Do you know her?
Yes. Koran. She is my mother.
What? What did you say?
Here.
Aye-yi-yi. So, how old does that make you?
Hmph! I am a lady, you know!
- You're too young to be 40.
- You're being rude.
That's true. But your father died 40 years ago, right?
My mother's first husband was killed in the war.
I am a child from her second marriage.
Oh, so she remarried.
You saw them go in there?
Most definitely.
So, where is your mother now?
- She died.
- Died?
15 years ago.
15 years ago? Then where is her grave?
There isn't one.
No grave? Then where are her ashes?
They are in the communal charnel in Kofuku Temple.
The ashes of my mother, her first husband, and my late father are all in that charnel.
What? Do you have proof of what you just said?
How's this? The charnel contract.
Wow, this is perfect.
Lupan, I've found you.
Hi, Pops. Your timing is impeccable.
I'll show you a magic trick. Ready? I just learned this.
What'll happen if I put this over me?
He disappeared!
That bastard is mocking me.
Look! He's over there, getting away!
He tricked me.
Whoa!
What? Who just kicked my butt?
You're under arrest!
Hey, let go of me!
Lupan, wait! I still have something to tell you!
Now Peking Man's bones are all mine.
Don't take it personally, Chin Tonnan.
He should have contacted us by now. That punk!
I guess they're difficult to find even for Lupan.
I wonder...
You're that young lady!
Yes. I may be a big fan of magician Chin Tonnan...
...but I'm an ardent fan of the Peking Man.
Then, that's your purpose for approaching me.
How about it? Will you let me join your team?
One third of the sales price of the Peking Man's bones is fine with me.
Hmph! I don't know any Peking Man.
Answer me soon. The Peking Man won't wait.
Or, if you want Lupan to snatch him away, that's fine by me.
What's that?
It's a signal from a liquid metal transmitter I attached to Lupan's suit.
Are you saying he's...
That's right. Lupan's target is the Peking Man.
However, even if he finds it, he won't sell it. That's where he and I differ.
I prefer cash, just like you guys.
Yes or no?
Yes.
1048 One, zero, four, eight, and...
Ooh, here it is.
This is the place.
What are you doing?
You tricked me!
- She's bossy, for a woman. - Shh!
I did it. I did it. I really did it!
Long time, no see. Or rather, nice to meet you!
Whoa!
Thanks for your trouble, Lupan.
You son of a bitch!
Fu...Fujiko!
I won't let you get anything no matter how hard you try, Lupan!
Prepare to die!
Now, attack me as you will!
Goemon.
- Give back those bones!
- Look up in the sky.
Hold on tight to the urn.
Right. Huh?
Hey, a helicopter's coming! It must be Lupan!
I see you, you bastards.
If you hadn't gotten in my way, Fujiko, it would have been easy!
I'm grateful, Jigen.
I'm just cooling off, enjoying an evening stroll. It's more fun with a side show.
It's a police checkpoint!
Damn! It's that inspector.
All right, stop the car.
Good evening.
Huh? You're that magician.
Yes, pardon me for the other day.
Good. I'm glad you're here.
I'll make you confess where you're hiding Lupan.
- I don't know anything.
- Shut up. Shut up, you. Shut up. Shut up.
This is bad, bad, bad. Pops caught them. Take us down!
- Now tell me! Tell me, you!
- I can't breathe.
Lupan's in that.
What?
Lupan!
What are you doing?
Stop!
Stop, Lupan! You won't get away!
My feet will fall off!
Man, Pops is persistent.
Listen. Drop the urn, and I'll drop you.
- Hold on to it tight.
- I won't drop it, I swear!
Lupan, I'll finally arrest you.
Augh! Ow, ouch! Don't grab me there!
Hey, keep still! I can hardly steer!
Lupan, you're under arrest!
Sorry, I have my hands full. Come back later, will you?
I've caught Lupan!
Hey, don't go berserk! Hey!
Where am I?
- What is this?
- What happened?
You! What happened here?
Yes, sir. Well, uh, actually, I haven't the slightest...
Everyone, wake up Inspector Zenigata!
See ya, Pops.
Pull yourself together, Inspector Zenigata.
Where's Lupan?
Hey, where did Lupan go?
Damn. I lost him again!
Keep the change. Keep it. I mean it.
Everyone is waiting for you, Mr. Lupan.
Oh, really?
Good job. Here.
Mr. Lupan, I can't accept this much.
It's fine. It's just fine.
Thanks for waiting. Here it is.
What's wrong? Aren't you guys happy?
Lupan.
You're here, Shunran.
Perfect. Let's all meet him together.
Hey, first listen to what she has to say.
I couldn't tell you this yesterday because Inspector Zenigata interrupted...
...but 10 years ago, Kofuku Temple was burned to the ground.
The charnel was also destroyed...
...and most of the bones were discarded along with the ashes.
What? Then what is this?
Some newer ashes laid to rest in the past ten years.
In a nutshell, the Peking Man's bones are no longer in this world.
The shock!
This is what they call "working to the bone for a bowl of ashes"...
...huh?
Australia's pride, a statue of a sleeping lion, is worth several billion yen.
Looks like it'll be transported via a special armored truck
made by the Sydney Police Department. I'm excited about the invincible truck!
Watch for my stealing techniques.
