Lupin The 3rd (1977) s01e14 Episode Script
Episode 14
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.
I'm weak against cute girls.
Well, then.
Surrounded by all these interesting people I wonder what's going to happen to me this time? This is indeed a wedding reception befitting the marriage of the Queen of Hollywood and a billionaire! They say this ship was built especially for tonight's celebration at the enormous cost of 2 billion.
Raymond-san happily does whatever Catherine tells him to.
No wonder everything's looking super duper.
Have you seen it? The brilliant stone Catherine was wearing, the Eye of the Nile! My, how beautiful you are, Catherine-sama! My word, is that the legendary emerald Julius Caesar once gave as a gift to Cleopatra? It is.
Did you know that someone is in fact trying to steal it? Steal? Surely not! Rubbish! Surely you don't put any stock in that boorish note we received.
And what of it if I do, Raymond? W-well Who is it? Who on earth would dare do such a wicked thing? Lupin the Third.
- Lupin? - Surely not Margaret! The letter, please.
Here, madam.
This is the aforementioned note.
Could I have a look? "I will come for the Eye of the Nile, the legendary flawless emerald.
"Remember, no matter how well you guard it, it'll do you no good.
" Signed, Lupin the Third.
It's addressed to Catherine Martin.
My, how frightful! No matter what kind of a phantom thief Lupin is, on this ship Exactly right! I, Inspector Zenigata, am here to guard it so please rest assured and continue the party.
I'm not worried at all.
Eh? What did you say?! You must not dismiss Lupin so lightly! But aren't you here to protect me? Right, Belle? Right! Please do not worry! I wonder if it'll be that simple.
Lupin will definitely show up.
The Emerald Mystery Late, aren't you! Oh, sorry about that.
Ah, carefully! Hurry up, now! Just wait and see.
I will get the Eye of the Nile without a fail.
Hey, hurry it up, will ya? Come on, now, this way.
Just a minute! Stop that cake right there! What is it, Inspector? I must inspect everything that comes aboard this ship, even a cake.
Isn't this all a little too much hassle over some petty thief? "Petty thief"? Lupin has never failed to steal what he sets his eyes on! Exactly.
That's my Zenigata, how well he knows me.
All right, take it! Even Lupin won't be able to pull anything under the heavy guard we have here.
You truly are beautiful, Catherine-sama! I am honoured to be able to serve as your bridesmaid.
There, why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror over there? Yes, why not.
Say, do you really think I am beautiful? Of course, you are the most beautiful woman in the world.
Sparkling with beauty! Zenigata! What is the meaning of this?! How rude of you to enter Catherine-sama's dressing room without knocking! I apologize, I simply wanted to check on the jewel.
Do not worry, Inspector.
No one will be able to get to the Eye of the Nile.
Right, Belle? Please do not let your guard down even for one moment.
Well, then Honestly, how insolent! Would you like to put on the Eye of the Nile yourself? Bring it to me.
First come, first served.
Don't think badly of me, Lupin.
Time to crash the party.
If I succeed, the whole world will know my name.
Oh, looks who's here! My good friend, the Inspector.
As vigilant as ever.
Indeed the Queen of Hollywood.
Unparalleled looks and style.
Oh, my! Fujiko! Damn her, she beat me to it! Without further ado, I would like to ask the bride and the groom to please cut the wedding cake! How beautiful! A fine cake, isn't it, Raymond? Now! Lupin! I've still got it, eh, Fujiko-chan? Such a hard worker.
Too bad he doesn't know it's a forgery! What? What's wrong? What's wrong? The Eye of the Nile! What?! Don't anybody move! Seal the exits! Don't let anybody out of the room! Arrest anybody acting suspiciously! It was Lupin! Lupin? Lupin Lupin? That's right! Lupin is a master of disguise! He must be somewhere in this room! I will have to check everyone! I can't let you do that, Inspector Zenigata.
Say what? Well, it'd be too impolite to subject my guests, here to celebrate my wedding, to such a thing.
"Impolite"?! It's your jewel Lupin has stolen, like he himself warned he would! What's a jewel or two? I do not want to have my wedding reception spoilt.
Huh? That jewel?! "A jewel or two"?! Besides, we're surrounded by the sea.
Even Lupin will not be able to escape.
Maybe so Lupin is now like a rat in a trap.
Right, Raymond? I-I guess so Don't worry.
The famous Inspector Zenigata here will surely recover the Eye of the Nile.
Right, Inspector? Uh, right, I swear on my life! If that's settled, how about we continue the party? Th-that's really out of the question It's all right, isn't it? Whatever you say, you're the victim here.
Really, everything went so well What a disappointment! Oh well, that may of course be attributed to me being a genius Fujiko! What a shame, Lupin! You only barely missed it! Huh? Then, this is That's right: Nothing but a forgery.
It's made of glass.
I swapped them, you see.
Fujiko! There's no shame in admitting defeat, Lupin.
My lovely dream The Eye of the Nile Belle! Bad kitty! Damn! Giving me a start! The Eye of the Nile broke in pieces! What a shame! What a laugh! Fujiko, yours is also a forgery! That can't be! I took it directly out of Catherine's jewel box! Say what? Damn it, that woman! This was a fake from the beginning.
Fujiko.
All right.
Let's join forces, Lupin.
We'll cooperate in effort to find the real jewel.
You fine with that? Really, what a creepy cat you are! The moment I leave I run into Pops Zenigata, huh? Something stinks here Smell something? Uh, no Have we met somewhere before? If you don't mind me asking, what is your? This is Count Nipple of the Belmont Dynasty.
Count Nipple? The gentleman here is an old friend of Catherine-sama's.
Good Inspector doesn't seem to be overly familiar with the high society.
Oh, pardon me.
Not at all.
I commend you for being so dutiful.
Catherine-sama is waiting for you.
This way, please.
He certainly does looks like Lupin, but maybe I'm mistaken A wonderful evening, isn't it, Catherine-sama? And you are? Oh, pardon me.
I am Why, if it isn't Count Nipple! The head of the Belmont Dynasty, the rulers of the Mediterranean! Well, that's me Please excuse my ignorance, Count Nipple.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm glad you could join us.
Oh, the pleasure is all mine.
Catherine-sama, could I have this dance? I am honoured, Count.
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
I better waste no time.
Zenigata! What a pest he is! Miss Margaret, wasn't it? Y-yes Did you notice any men hanging around Miss Catherine before the party? Let's see Men hanging around her There were two such people! Two people?! First of all First of all? You, Inspector.
And the other one The other one? The groom, Raymond, of course.
Are you making fun of me?! Not at all! I was simply answering your question.
That aside, my dear Inspector What is it? Won't you let me have this dance? Dance? Me? You're joking, aren't you? I can't dance at all It's easy! Give me your hand.
Now, 1-2-3, 1-2-3! Look, lady, I am supposed to be on duty! Catherine-sama doesn't care about the missing jewel.
1-2-3, 1-2-3! See? Inspector dances so well! Well? This thing called dancing is rather fun, isn't it? Oh, what a feeling it is to be dancing the evening away with a lovely lady such as Catherine-sama.
Ah, the fire of our youth Such an interesting person you are.
I have just been wed to someone.
What difference does that make? Is there something wrong, Count? Just look at that man currently dancing with your maid! How splendidly he dances! Gracefully yet so energetically! Superb! You're doing well, Inspector.
How about it? A dance with Catherine-sama would make for a memory of a lifetime! Couldn't happen Quite the opposite! How could Catherine-sama ignore someone like you? Aw, shucks See? She is looking at us.
N-now that you mention it May I please have this dance? Really, what a bother this is.
Damn it, where did she hide it? I can't find it anywhere.
What is going on in this room? You sure gave me a fright, Inspector.
I was just tidying up the room.
I see.
Still, it's quite a mess in here.
It's as if the room has been visited by a burglar.
Catherine-sama doesn't seem to mind the mess.
Oops, not good! Count! What on earth are you doing here? Oh, I promised to come play some poker with Catherine-sama Still, you can't just barge into Catherine-sama's room when she's not here! I guess a regulation-driven police inspector wouldn't understand the nuances of the more elegant society! Now, then, please excuse me.
"The more elegant society"? Damn it! Go and see if you can get Catherine to reveal the location of the jewel.
I'll see what I can do.
Leave it to me.
Fujiko! Just in case take this transmitter.
Count Nipple? There's nobody by that name aboard this ship.
What? No such person? No doubt about it, he's Lupin! What? A forgery? It was a forgery? Oh my, I must go inform the Inspector of this! No need.
Eh? It was just a bit of party entertainment.
It's none my concern if some fools and the police want to waste their time looking for a fake jewel.
Right, Belle? I guess so That bitch, what an indifferent way to justify her conduct! What do you think you're doing, barging in without knocking? How rude! I'm here on police business, so please excuse my rudeness.
The thing is, I have some suspicions about that Count Nipple fellow.
My, how dare you?! Count Nipple is regarded as the most honourable man in the French nobility! That is correct.
Count Nipple is an old friend of mine.
Isn't that right, Margaret? Y-yes, of course.
That aside, have you found out the whereabouts of the Eye of the Nile, Inspector? Er, yes, about that I will definitely locate it, in order to retain the good name of the Japanese police.
Well, then Strange.
Even though the Count isn't listed among the guests she says they're friends.
Damn it, I will unravel this mystery without a fail! Catherine-sama, if the jewel that was stolen was a forgery where have you hidden the real one? The real one? The real one is The real one is? The real Eye of the Nile is The real one is? On top of the mast.
is not where it is.
The real Eye of the Nile is In the pool is not where it is, either.
The real Eye of the Nile is The real one is? In my hair! What on earth are you doing, Count? Honestly, I'm at my wits' end, here.
Ah! Lupin! What's wrong? That cat! Cat? It's sleeping with one eye open! How creepy! All right, already.
I'll take a look of this cat of yours.
I see, that cat! What is it, Lupin? Want to take part in my plan, Fujiko? Plan? That's the one.
Have you found what you are looking for? Er, excuse me? So you haven't found it yet, have you? Count Nipple? Or rather, Lupin the Third? You didn't think I'd realize, did you? I was onto you right from the start.
You and my maid, "Margaret".
You knew and were enjoying the show, eh? That's right.
Thank you for making a boring party very amusing.
This little game is almost over.
Time to top it off with a special appearance.
Zenigata! 10987 6543 21! The Eye of the Nile is mine now! Belle? Belle? Where are you? Belle?! Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights! Belle? Where are you? Belle! Come here.
What's wrong? It's Lupin! He has stolen my Eye of the Nile! Right That's why I am here, to search for it That's not it! Lupin stole it just now! What did you say?! Damn it! Lupin! My my Eye of the Nile! Give me back! See ya, Catherine-chan! The fancy dress party was a real hoot! Bye~! Now, the next episode: I heard that Inspector Zenigata is going to attend the World Police Conference in Europe.
I won't go unless I catch Lupin first! Sure you will! Maybe I could just let him catch me, after all I have given him such a hard time for so long.
Bye-bye! Look at that happy face! Next week's title "Arrest Lupin and go to Europe!" Stay tuned! Plough through the red waves that wind around my feet The machine screams It's like a crazy morning light Walther P-38 in this hand The things that I hold in my hand they all disappear It's fate Lupin the Third
