The Return of Lupin III
(All racers please make your way to the starting grid.
) (In the pole position is number 17, Jacky Stewart.
) (In second place on the grid is number 18.
) Hey, What are you doing to my car? (In second place on the grid is number 18.
) (In third place is Lupin the Third.
) Uh, I'm checking the oil (In third place is Lupin the Third.
) Oil, huh? Well, are you in charge this car? No, well Then I don't need your help.
This car has already been checked.
Yes sir! Jigen, Lupin here.
A suspicious man showed up here.
By the way, how are things over there? Here, it is very peaceful.
The birds are singing like Pi-chi-ku.
I don't care about you.
How is my lover Fujiko Mine? Has she contacted you? Your lover? She snuck into the Hotel Miracle.
After that we lost contact with her.
But I'm sure she'll be fine.
In today's general meeting we are to discuss the fate of Scorpion's rival, Lupin the Third.
We will conduct his funeral.
True, Lupin is not dead yet but he will die soon enough.
And we shall all bear witness to his death.
Now then, before we start Damn! This is Jigen.
What's happening? Ah, Jigen.
Please contact Lupin as soon as possible.
Scorpion is going to Lupin is Burning?! I let you run free even though I knew you were up to something like this.
You intend to warn Lupin and in doing so ruin my plan for his funeral.
Isn't that right? Scorpion, using such an obvious trick It's a bit much, don't you think? Yes, I do think you will serve nicely as a flower for me to place on his grave.
Do you want me to be a baton girl at his funeral? I am sorry, but I doubt I'll get a change for that.
Lupin will never die.
In the past maybe.
But this time I can assure you I can assure you Lupin will die.
Hyda speedway.
It took 5 years and 5 billion to construct.
It is the largest speedway in the East.
Today, the inauguration of the Formula 1 Grand Prix will take place there and we have used the Japan Racing Association to invite a certain individual.
The man driving the Ferrari 321.
The man called Lupin the third.
He is indeed a very careful man.
But send him an invitation to a race and he'll always come running.
People are peculiar creatures, eh, Ms.
Mine? But is this all really worth it? You've spent 5 billion just to kill Lupin.
What I am going to destroy is not only Lupin, the man but Lupin, the symbol of the entire crime empire that depends on him.
If our rivals loose his support their businesses will go under.
The race is about to start.
The track passes through mountains and valleys and there might even be a pitfall or two along the way.
Am I right? We've placed a hundred video cameras around the track.
They will allow us to see the entire race.
And Ms.
Mine As you watch him die you, too, will die.
Jigen, I feel great and my machine feels great, too.
Lupin, I've got the feeling something's not right.
We lost contact with her 30 minutes ago.
I see.
She must have fallen for their tricks.
Well, it's OK.
Hey, how is it OK? CIA's statistics research has shown spies always reveal themselves sooner or later.
Anyway Fujiko has been caught by them, and I've fallen into their trap.
I'm going to take the initiative while their guard is down.
That's the trick to this race.
"Trap"? Did you say "trap"? I see This race.
That's right.
All racer and cars appear to be top notch.
John Surtees in a Surtees TS7.
Jackie Stewart in a Ford Tyrrell.
Denny Hulme in a McLaren.
Beltoise in a Matra-Simca.
But in reality they're nothing but imposters.
These car aren't what they seem, either.
I can recognize them by their engine noise.
These cars were made by the Scorpion group.
I don't know what kind of trap they have prepared for me, though.
To find out, I acted like I didn't know anything and came.
Lupin, stop talking.
A car is closing in on you from the behind.
It's the Lotus 72.
Lupin, is it Scorpion? No, it's my nemesis Zenigata from the Metropolitan Police.
Zenigata Lupin.
Just how many years have I followed you like this? Fate.
If you were not the grandson of Arsene Lupin If I were not a descendant of Zenigata But I will arrest you.
You pretentious rascal.
Today I will I will finally arrest you.
You must be scheming something big to appear here today.
I won't take my eyes off your car no matter what happens.
This is the commissioner to all mechanics.
Get ready to commence Operation: Lupin the Third Strike Out.
Roger! Hah.
The show is starting.
Well then, let's get started on this end, too.
We need to make it look like an accident, Ms.
Mine.
Still, nothing less from Lupin.
He survived the first attempt even while doing 120 kilometers per hour.
His driving skills equal those of a top level professional.
Damn! Jigen.
It's getting more interesting.
Let's get started.
All right, then From the bureau of waterworks? Checking on a problem? Yes, I got a phone call from your company.
Apparently there's a problem with your employee toilets.
That's strange.
Nobody notified me of this.
Well, if it's a mistake, guess I'm all done here.
Wait, wait Please check anyway.
All right.
Here it is.
Please have a quick look.
Yes sir.
Let's see, the problem was supposedly in the ladies toilet Oh, this isn't good at all.
It's all clogged up.
You're not supposed to put stuff like this in here.
You're Lupin! Good night! Ah! Stop it! It tickles! Let me go! Ah! Stop it! Stop it! How are you feeling? Lupin is going to die soon.
Wonder what will become of you? Please open the door! What's going on?! Check it! Wa Water?! What's with this water?! Shut the door quick! Hurry! It's Lupin, Lupin did it! What are you talking about?! See for yourself.
Unless Lupin pulled a miracle I already did.
Eh? Lupin Lupin Lupin! That's right.
In a hotel called "Miracle", one would expect miracles to happen, no? Well, let's get on with Scorpion's funeral.
Shoot him! Shoot him! Hi there, Fujiko.
How are you feeling? Oh, I'm feeling all right, Mr.
Lupin.
However, I wish you would have come a bit sooner.
Not at all, I should have come a bit later.
Zenigata! Your driving technique is alright but my car is far superior so don't feel bad about this.
Hey, baby.
How did you like Scorpion's? Umm It was all right.
What about you? How did you like being a racer? Now then, let's finish this.
And now, the victory celebration! And so Damn I thought that he was going to do something during the race but the only thing he stole was away.
Eh? 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 Hey! Officer! Present! After him! After him! I knew it! Hey you! Get out of my way! No can do.
If you don't want to die, you should stay here.
What?! It's time 3 2 1 zero! Hey there, Zenigata.
Fancy seeing you here.
Lupin.
What the hell? It's burning! It's burning! Lupin is burning! Fire! Hey you! What did you do? Now, now, I have an alibi.
You are my witness.
You're with the Metropolitan Police, remember? You were right behind my car during the whole race.
Don't underestimate me, Lupin! You think that I'm just a third-class police officer.
But you're wrong! I know everything you have been doing.
I have a witness.
The jig is up.
This is how it is.
Ah! Jigen! No, I mean Who is this guy? Eh? Fujiko! You didn't! That's right.
Fujiko was in on it from the start.
Lupin, you are under arrest! Well then, Mr.
Zenigata.
We had a deal.
Now give me what you promised.
I'm a man of honor.
Here it is! An arrest warrant!? Is it yours? Yes, I'm a free woman now.
Lupin, I'm sorry.
In other words, freedom is an important thing to have.
And Lupin, you'll have no freedom from now on.
Resistance is futile.
Now get going! Stop resisting already! You can't escape from me.
Punishment falls upon the traitor, then? No way! Betrayal is just another one of women's accessories.
If I didn't understand such a thing I couldn't love women.
Don't you think? Stop it! Stop Hey, what's up? In next week's episode, a strange man appears.
His name is Pycal, bullets bounce off of him and he throws fire with his finger.
I couldn't do anything against him, this man they call a magician.
Please, join the action in the next episode Twine itself around my feet Kick the red waves Machine scream It's like a crazy morning light Walter P-38 In my hand When I hold it Everything will disappear It's a rule Lupin the Third
