Lupin The 3rd (1977) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
My name is Lupin the Third.
Grandson of the infamous phantom thief, Arsene Lupin.
The international police are always after me but, well, I have never been caught.
If I want to steal something, I always succeed.
I am the great thief that goes by the name Lupin the Third.
Daisuke Jigen, my partner.
Ever the hard-boiled professional, he's a cool-headed gunman.
A man with a strong sense of duty, I can always depend on him.
Goemon Ishikawa the Thirteenth.
Of the famous Ishikawa family of thieves.
A master swordsman, he can cut through anything with his katana.
He can be a really scary guy if you anger him.
Police inspector Zenigata the Third.
Descendant of the Zenigata family, he comes from a long line of policemen.
He lives to catch me.
He is difficult for me to deal with The mystery woman, Ms.
Fujiko Mine.
She could be a spy or a thief, there's just no telling with this woman.
She's always giving me a hard time but I couldn't hate her.
Well, then.
Surrounded by all these interesting people I wonder what's going to happen to me this time? Huh? Damn I'm cool! Stop it already.
You'll end up in the hospital before you get the scrolls if you keep that up.
Don't say that! Anyway, Jigen, did you find out anything? You should give up on this one Just answer me.
Yeah, sure I found out something but it won't do us any good, Lupin.
He's there.
Hmm? Ishikawa? That's right: Goemon.
Goemon Ishikawa.
It goes without saying that Goemon would be loitering around that place.
Loitering, huh? That's right.
He's got a sword that can cut through iron, doesn't he? I see Zantetsuken, literally "the sword that cuts down iron".
The infamous sword was created in the 19th century, and in the early 20th century Arsene Lupin stole the secret scrolls detailing the technique used in its creation Enough! The honor of the Lupin family name is at stake here.
Good grief.
But Lupin, why are the scrolls of Zantetsuken on Mt.
Kurotogi? That place is the training ground of the Jitou sword style.
And as it happens, Goemon is a master of the Jitou style and an instructor there.
There's no way you can beat him.
Better to just give it up.
Jigen, When will the prospective candidates meet? Believe it or not, it's today.
Why didn't you say so earlier?! Hey, what about Goemon? Oh, we were destined to challenge each other some day, anyway.
See ya! Hey Lupin! You're leaving me behind? I told ya the honor of the Lupin family name is at stake here.
Hey, Lupin! Wait! A Wolf Is A Wolf Who's there? Come out so I can see you! It's yourself, Mr.
Hanji of Annaka.
Wh-wh-what? Master Ishikawa the 5 candidates have arrived.
Very well, I'll be right there.
Now then, I wonder what kind of candidates we have for ourselves Lookin' fancy Mr.
Goemon Ishikawa.
Akabe Shibana.
Shishamo of Hokkaido.
Kaikin of Honno.
Lupin, I mean, Hanji of Annaka.
Rinko Fujinami.
Fujiko Hey Fujiko-kun Fujiko-kun To think that we'd meet in a place like this.
Still, what a horrible disguise.
Did I make a mistake? Next! Yes, sir! Next! Yes, sir! Next! Yes, sir.
Stop, stop it already What if you get hurt? Ow! Ow! What is your weapon of choice? I'm somewhat skilled with the short sword.
Interesting.
Rather well done.
Very well.
Next! I'm here.
Huh? What is your weapon of choice? You! Name your weapon! How pathetic To think Fujiko I love you so much, damn it! Ah, most impressive! Well then, do you have the recommendation letter? Recommendation? How odd.
According to the list, you're Hanji of Annaka one of the leaders of the Kunisada group in Joshu.
Uh, yes, that's right! I'm indeed the leader of the Kunisada group in Joshu! That's enough! Just what I expected of you, Goemon! Magnificent! Thank you very much.
Look! The Zantetsuken is being reborn.
I must have you test it out again, Goemon.
There is nothing your sword cannot cut thought but you lack one thing.
That is the ability to purge all emotion.
True.
By the way, Goemon Yes? There seem to be some suspicious figures mixed in with the candidates.
Yes.
Have you revealed their identities? I am not certain yet.
Lupin the Third isn't involved, is he? It couldn't be.
If Lupin was involved, what would you do? I would kill him.
Well then, I take my leave.
Right Tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-AARGH! Ow-ow-ow! Lupin, it seems like you're after the same thing as I am.
It's you after all, Fujiko I won't let you get in my way this time, though.
Oh? I wonder about that.
It seems like you have come all unprepared.
What? I, on the other hand, came well prepared.
See? Over here! If you understand, it's time for you to take a little nap, Lupin.
Good night.
Right on time.
Move! Where are the scrolls? This way! Who's there?! Curses, another thief for me to dispose of! The secret scrolls are inside, let's hurry.
Ah! What do you want, Mine Fujiko? It should be obvious what I want.
I came to relieve you of the three secret scrolls of Zantetsuken.
Relieve me? Yes, as you will soon see.
Looks like it's a total failure.
Will you kill me now, too? No, I don't kill women.
Go.
Really? Thanks.
But if you let me go now I might cause you more trouble later on.
Are you allright with that, Goemon? Go home.
Right, I'm going! Well then, bye-bye! Goemon-san This is what you get when you try to act cool by saying you don't kill women, Goemon-san.
I wonder about that.
Take a good look at those scrolls.
They're fake! Exactly.
Damn! Now's my chance! Lupin! Now, you'll tell me all the secrets of Zantetsuken, right? Th-that's It can't be helped Alright, tell me.
It happened 25 years ago on a windy day What's so funny? You couldn't cut even a turnip with a sword like that.
Say what?! Want to try it on me? You bet! That was the first time in my life that I had let my guard down.
But I was too young to know any better.
I had so much confidence in my own skills that I believed that with that sword alone, I could take over the world.
And so, I pursued clues and rumors and finally succeeded in stealing his blade, and the secret within, from that man.
And as it turns out, that man was Lupin the Second, huh? Now that I look back on it, that was the incident that brought me into the underworld.
To think that you managed to steal a secret from Lupin the Second You must've been quite a guy back then.
And? Where are the real scrolls? Th-that's Just spit it out, already.
They're right here.
Goemon! Lupin, kill Lupin! W-what's wrong? Kill him! No, now that I have heard the whole story I cannot follow your orders no longer.
Goemon! Oh, so you're giving them to me? You two should duel.
The winner gets the scrolls.
Duel, you say? I'm fine with that.
That's how all this started, anyway.
That alright with you, old man? But how do you intend to defeat my technique? Well, I have one or two tricks up my sleeve.
Both of you step forward.
You ready, old man? Begin! Aw crap, I better run Fight, damn you! Stop running! Over here, pops! - Admit defeat! Stop running! - Over here oh, please stop! Damn it Bye, then Stand still! Wait! Stop running! Looks like I win, doesn't it? Your technique is useless in the bottom of a pothole.
Now, Let's have it huh? Thank you, Lupin! Fujiko again? Forgive me, Lupin! Goddamn! I'll remember this, Fujiko! I'll remember this! Fujiko! Lupin.
Take them.
They are the real ones.
This time the victory goes to you but our battle is not over yet, understand? We shall finish this another time.
Goemon.
Now that the secret of Zantetsuken is gone, I have nothing holding me here any longer.
Goodbye.
That guy Traveling such a long distance on foot Ain't you something.
You received my letter of challenge, I take it? Oh, this? You had to send me such a boring ol' letter? It's too rough to blow my nose in and too soft to make a paper airplane out of.
It might be useful for drying yourself after a nice hot bath, Goemon! Let us fight.
Whoa, not so fast.
Dueling has long since gone out of style, you know? Don't move, Goemon.
I'm telling you, you'll be sorry if you come any closer.
I wonder To think that the same trick worked twice And here I warned you out of sheer kindness, too.
Here.
Huh? Now you've done it, Goemon! Why you! I'm gonna boil you alive! Good grief looks like we've got another troublemaker in our gang.
Well for next week, It's been a while since the four of us worked together.
I'm gonna take some cards from millionaire Mr.
Gold, With a warning notice, of course.
But the opponent is not someone to be trifled with he paid Zenigata for protection But the four of us will combine our strengths.
Everyone Meets Again: The Trump Plan You've got the channel set.
