Lupin The 3rd (1977) s01e17 Episode Script
Episode 17
Welcome, all of you.
"Ooh, thanks for the invitation" is what I would like to say.
However, I have to wonder just what's your intention, inviting us to such a fancy place, Fujiko-chan.
It's no fun to always be pulling cons on each other, is it? I thought we could all go out and have fun together for a change.
Have fun, eh? All right, we're game! That's our beauty! Stop worrying so much, Jigen.
Don't frown like that, now.
I was born looking like this! Welcome! Thank you for coming.
Let me introduce you.
This is the hostess of this club I am Rinko Hoshikage.
Pleased to meet you.
Uh, yeah, muh-me, too.
Y-yeah, luh-likewise.
P-pleased to meet you.
This is worthless.
I accompanied you out of curiosity, but if the whole of your intention is to drool over women, I will take my leave! Hey! Goemon! Wait a minute! - It's okay to cut loose once in a while - Give it a rest, Jigen.
This just isn't Goemon's thing.
"Devoted swordsman is above the common vulgarities" is his catch phrase.
Putting that aside, let's have us some fun today, all right? Well then, let's get to it, my beauties! This is great! Lupin Caught In A Trap Ah, this is such delicious sake.
Why you! Look, just what are you up to? I trust they accommodate your tastes? There are armed time bombs inside those watches.
Huh?! I have always held interest for your outstanding stealing techniques.
However, no matter how good you are, you will not be able to remove those watches.
And that is because If you damage that watch or attempt to take it apart or simply put a little too much pressure on it, then Rest assured.
Your watches won't detonate for another 24 hours.
24 hours? That's right.
Not until 5 AM tomorrow.
Just what are you after? What is the purpose of this? Should you wish to regain your freedom you will have to pay your own ransom.
The ransom is a mere billion yen per person.
That adds up to 3 billion yen for the three of you.
Shouldn't be a problem, now should it? At least not with your state of the art technique, that it.
In any case, the time limit is 24 hours.
I'll have those watches removed in exchange for the 3 billion yen.
Lupin, it's already 12 o'clock.
17 more hours 'til the explosion.
Lupin, what are you going to do? This is what you get for fooling around with women.
Say, Goemon You wouldn't happen to know a place where lots of gold coins are buried or something like that? I would not.
Damn it! This stupid watch! It can't be helped.
I shall help you.
All will be well again as soon as you are rid of those watches.
To accomplish that, I simply need to cut off your arms! No way! Worry not.
Done in the correct manner, there won't even be much blood.
Well, then, who shall go first? No thank you! Take your favors elsewhere, Goemon! I apologize.
Well, then, I shall take my leave.
We've got no choice.
Jigen, let's go for that.
What? Nah, that's no good.
We're still in the planning stages.
Still, there's no other way for us to get our hands on 3 billion yen in cash.
Tell me, Lupin, what's "that"? A beauty of a robbery plan fashioned by the Lupin family.
My! This is That's right, the Treasury Department Mint.
In other words, the place where loads of cash is made.
And the plan? What're you gonna do? Isn't it obvious? We'll simply print the 3 billion for ourselves, of course.
If it all goes well, that is.
Anyway, I don't like the idea that the Lupin family is going to try and carry out a plan that's not even complete.
Well, we won't know whether it'll work or not until we try! "Won't know until we try"? Those don't sound like the words of a professional.
All right, already.
Let's do it.
It's 8:20 PM.
Good grief It's Saturday, too.
Why do all the Japanese people like to work overtime? Can't be helped.
Let's make another round shall we? Say, Lupin Just how much planning have you guys done? About this much.
What's that? A rope ladder? Right.
We bought it at the convenience store the day before yesterday.
Uh-huh? Any way you slice it, we just don't have enough time, so let's just give it a try! I'm counting on you, Lupin.
Leave it to me.
H-hey! Lupin, are you all right? Damn it! It's electrified! Aw, crap! Hey! It's came from around here! Get them! Shoot to kill! - Ah! I see him! - Really? There! See? Isn't that just a mouse? Just a rat's trick, huh? Really, making people worry Honestly Just what was that supposed to be? Didn't you even know that there was electricity running through the wire? That's why I told you our plan's still unfinished.
Your plan's not "unfinished" it's non-existent! Only another 7 hours Oh, pale moon 7 hours left of my life An ad balloon! I've got it! Lupin the Third, you haven't been abandoned by the gods just yet.
All right! Fujiko-chan, take us up! OK! Good luck! Hear that, Lupin? Sure do.
The sound of a healthy economy.
Huh? Nothing less from Lupin.
Six more hours, huh? Lupin, we've got one billion.
OK, 2 more to go.
Easy peasy.
Let's see, a billion an hour That means we'll be done around 2 AM.
Huh? I wonder what's going on.
What's wrong? Aren't you getting through? Ah, front gate here.
Why did you take so long answering? Tired from working overtime, eh? Uh, yes, I'm terribly sorry.
Don't worry about it.
It happens to all of us.
Oh, is the supervisor there? Uh, yes, just a minute.
Hey, Mr.
Supervisor, it's for you.
Good evening.
Huh? What's up? Your voice sounds different from usual.
What? Caught a cold, you say? You've got to be more careful! Well, let's go out for a drink sometime.
Oh, the armoured car is here.
Is tonight's batch ready? What? Is that so? The machinery's acting up, you say? That's right.
The batch will be an hour or two late.
I guess it can't be helped.
All right, then.
I'll head up there in about an hour, then.
Idiot! Don't just suddenly hand me the phone! Oh, sorry 'bout that.
That aside, aren't the guys downstairs going to come up here in an hour? Hmm, you're right.
No rest for the wicked.
Busy, busy! Check! So that's your move, huh? Hey, isn't it time for you to head up already? Time's up, eh? Too bad I guess I'll get going, then.
Looks like they pulled it off.
Huh? Patrol cars? Damn, we've been found out! Hurry up, Jigen! Huh? What's wrong? We stopped moving.
The bills are too heavy.
We're counting on you, Fujiko! So heavy! Lupin, I'm not letting you escape! Aw, crap.
It's Zenigata.
Squad, take position! Aim for the ad balloon! Fire! Hey, there's gas coming out All right, here goes nothing! Damn it! They're getting away! Fire! Fire! See ya, Zenigata-san! Follow that balloon! They won't get far with that! They seem to be heading towards the city.
Close off all escape routes Lupin might use immediately! This ain't good, we're sinking lower and lower.
Aagh, we're gonna hit it! Make way, make way! Damn it We really are sinking lower and lower.
Damn it, patrol cars as far as the eye can see! Who's there?! Not again! Damn it, what kind of an idiot would built an apartment building here? Pervert! No! Yoo-hoo? Lupin? Hiya.
How's it going? You idiot! We'll be touching ground soon! It's do or die, Lupin! All right! We almost have them! Don't let them escape! Well, that should fool them for a while.
They'll be back soon, though.
We won't get away carrying these heavy bags.
Zing! Let's hide them in there! According to the police officer in charge the two men suspected of breaking into the Treasury Department Mint have escaped using a hot air balloon and have not been arrested yet.
This just in: The balloon used in the escape has just been found.
Damn! They got off somewhere! Listen up! They're carrying a heavy batch of bills! They're not getting anywhere fast! Comb every single square inch between here and the Mint! Only 45 minutes left Inspector, it's no good.
There's not even a kitten in sight.
Search through every blade of grass if you have to.
But you can tell from just looking that he's not here! Idiot! I know that! I can't believe that Lupin could just disappear into thin air with such a heavy load of bills.
Lupin! Only 30 minutes left! Goemon, your friends' lives are in danger! Aren't you at all worried? Calm yourself.
They have returned.
- I'm home - Lupin! What, you're empty-handed? Yeah, well we'll fill you in on that later.
For now, let's just head over to Rinko Hoshikage's place.
and that's the situation.
Madam, I can assure you that we've got the money, we just can't get it to you before the deadline.
I heard it on the news.
The police are panicking because they can't find the money.
So when will I get the money? It'll take at least three days.
What with the cops running around and all that Very well.
At 2 AM three days from now, then.
Er, um, th-th-there's only th-th-three minutes left Take those watches off them.
Yes, ma'am.
We're saved Help me! Although it is a poor substitute for the watches, I will take Fujiko's life under my care until the promised date.
Fujiko-chan It's all right, Lupin.
I believe in you.
Fujiko You trust me that much? My, isn't it vacuous here.
Where are the 3 billion yen? Seems like even Zenigata couldn't figure out how that heavy batch of bills could be hidden in this empty warehouse.
But you see, if you line 'em up side by side, the bills actually don't take up much space at all.
Looks like our transaction has been successfully concluded.
Sure, right after you return Fujiko to us.
Right, that was the deal, wasn't it? Well, Fujiko-san? Are you going with Lupin? Uh, me? I really can't, I'm much too busy.
I have hurry home to count my share, after all.
Let's do this again sometime, Lupin! I had a great time! Bye~! Lupin Don't be looking so depressed, now.
I understand how you feel.
What time is it now, Jigen? 30 seconds to 5 o'clock.
Is that right? Poor Fujiko.
Eh? I attached a little something to that car last night.
At 5 o'clock sharp, BOOM! How peculiar! It's raining money! Any way you look at this, it's such a waste.
We couldn't have used those, anyway.
Say what? Truth be told, I made a few modifications when we were printing them.
Take a look.
See? Morgan, Smith, Richard and Henry Oh, they're just the names of some men we'll deal with next week.
They appear to be judges for the Miss Global Contest, but they're actually dealing in stolen masterpieces.
Hey hey hey, a beauty contest? I want to be in it too! Can I? Really! You wanna? Next week, "Mark the Beauty Contest!" You've got the channel set! 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
