Lupin The 3rd (1977) s01e12 Episode Script

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? First come first served, as they say.
Sorry, Elder but I'm taking the golden twin statues for myself.
Don't be like that, old man.
Everything is proceeding as planned.
We should get going.
Elder, there's a certain person on his way here, he'll untie you.
One called Lupin the Third.
Wait, damn you! Sumito! Go! After her! Who Will Have The Last Laugh? You failed? Sumito, you mean to say you allowed that woman to escape? Yes, sir.
In this blizzard, she won't get far.
We have to settle this before it clears.
Damn, if that woman hadn't interfered we would have nailed Lupin for sure.
Contact headquarters immediately and inquire about further orders.
- Got that? - Yes! I should be back at the cave soon.
Always playing with nasty toys like that, huh? Come over here and warm up, why don't you.
Lupin! Such a stroke of luck meeting in a place like this, eh, Fujiko? A failure? Yes.
One of the statues got stolen due to our failure.
The culprit managed to escape.
On top of that, our troops have been all but obliterated.
Listen good, Hayate-kun.
This is a matter of life and death for our organization.
Failures are unforgivable in this situation! The success of this mission is critical! Yes.
We chose you because we consider you the number one talent in our organization.
So do not betray us! I understand perfectly.
However, we're in a real predicament.
We don't have enough people, please send reinforcements.
It can't be helped.
I'll send Team D right away.
Thank you very much.
Do you understand? Another failure is unforgivable! Got that? Yes, sir.
Those who fail pay for it with their lives.
That's the law of the organization.
Does my failure amuse you? I wouldn't necessarily call it amusing, but the way you're acting is pretty silly.
Killing each other for the sake of a statue or two.
Well then, what about you? Hearing it was us that wanted the statues, you doubled, then tripled your price.
The twin statues are the last of their kind left in the world.
Therefore, we have to sell them for as high a price as possible.
It'd be a waste to do otherwise, now wouldn't it? You just don't shut up, do you, old man? What should we do next? Listen good, Kumaso.
Having only one of the statues is as good as having none.
And that means Lupin and the woman will definitely come back for the other one.
We'll just wait for them right here.
It's as simple as that.
Right.
A few more hours, and the reinforcements will arrive.
In the meantime, you place traps around the village.
Be sure to keep an eye out for them.
Failure is unforgivable! - Understand? - Yes, sir! Elder, this play is only just starting.
Who'll have the last laugh? That might be me.
Ouch! Damn it, old man, if you don't stop with the wisecracks I will kill you! Regrettably, I've used up all the supplies you had in here, Fujiko.
By all means.
Come now, that dangerous looking thing is really bothering me.
Give it here, why don't ya? Why? "Why"? We can't talk very intimately with you like that.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, who knows what'd happen? A handsome man? Where? For shame, Fujiko, you have no eye for men, do you? Eat up! Bones! Here you go, have a drink! You're talking like this stuff wasn't all mine anyways! Comrades, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Half of you occupy the village, the rest guard the vicinity.
We're short on time, be quick about it.
With those guys arriving and all this job sure is becoming troublesome.
Especially since Hayate is nothing but an old fool.
There's no telling what he'll do.
Now then, back to work! Say, Lupin This is one of the twin statues.
Uh huh? Is that right? And so, I have a favor to ask you.
Let's hear it.
The other one is in the village, Hayate has it.
It'd be hard for a wee girl like me get it from him, you know And? I think this time - you'd better ally with me, right? - Right- Now what? Hot! Just because I give in a little, doesn't mean you can do that.
So that's what you get Uh oh, there come the rest of them.
Huh? Good grief.
Fujiko, you did this, didn't you? You've got to be kidding.
He passed out on his own.
I wouldn't hurt my precious partner.
"Partner"? Hey, Lupin! Wake up.
Hey, Lupin! Don't think badly of us.
Now, now, Fujiko! Behave, would you? Those guys will be here soon.
We can leave through the back door.
I see.
Still, the situation in the village is bad.
Why's that? Because of Hayate? Right.
That guy is serious about nailing us.
I'm here as a legitimate purchaser of goods.
He shouldn't have any say in that, right? Run! That's the way! Right! Smoke them out of that hole! Lupin is heading for the village, acknowledge.
Roger.
Sheesh, this isn't my cup of tea.
Leaving me alone like this How heartless of you, Lupin.
Wh-what do intend to do with me? Why, I just want you to help me out a little.
Wh-wh-what? If you refuse, this will happen, got it? Don't screw up.
Hey, the place is completely taken over.
What are we dilly-dallying for? We should've hurried up and acted when we had the change.
Jigen, there's no sport in simply taking stuff all the time for a great thief like Lupin.
This time, they want to sell me the item I'd normally steal.
So let's live up to their expectations and buy it.
You're trying too hard to make yourself look good, Lupin.
How about this? Still no go here, a bit more.
I can only give so much! Now you've taken everything I've got, so how about it, you bastard? Here, take these, too! How's that? Those, too.
That's right.
Strip him of everything he's got.
Don't think too badly of me, all right? The twin statues are the only valuable thing this village's got left.
10 minutes riding this, and he'll be a goner.
Everything is ready.
All right.
Incredible.
This is the other twin statue.
And the other one? I know.
See? Ah, this is the woman who stole the other statue! Now, we've got them both.
You tricked me! Me! That's right.
Us meeting in the cave was all part of the plan, too.
Everything was a set up right from the start.
How maddening! Anyway, you can leave if you want to, but the storm is still going strong.
You're acting silly, Fujiko-kun.
You won't agree no matter what? It will get much colder when night comes.
And this is the only blanket.
It's all right.
I'll stay by the fire until morning.
Well, that we just can't have.
Darn! A horse, huh? Damn! The woman ran away! Tied me up like this, too.
Sorry old man, but I'm taking back the clothes.
Oh, don't worry about that.
Just take the snowmobile and go after her! A simple trick like that won't fool that man for long.
You have no say in this.
Everything is proceeding as planned.
Hey, tie the old man up.
Th-th-that wasn't part of the deal! I simply asked you to help, I never said anything about letting you go afterwards.
Too bad for you.
It's all going well! Lupin is following the tracks, headed straight for Heaven! Good.
Lupin will definitely die this time.
The twin statues will be rejoined in the ownership of the organization.
Along with the money Lupin brought.
And I will be the hero of the organization.
They sure like to do things the big way.
And there, the graceful Lupin the Third.
I'm all beat up.
The plan has succeeded.
Lupin is resting in pieces thanks to the bomb we planted.
Anything to say about that, Fujiko? Aren't you at all worried? Lupin wouldn't let himself be defeated that easily.
Are you criticizing the way I do things? That isn't really what she was saying.
Shut up! Elder, you talk too much.
All right, how about I just take both the money and the twin statues, then? N-no! That wasn't how the deal went! You said you'd give me a share, too, if I cooperated! That I won't do.
Being made fun of is the one thing I hate the most! Nothing good is gonna come out of picking on the elderly.
Hayate's men are running around in confusion.
I hope Fujiko and the elder are all right.
Don't worry, we're aiming away from them.
So Lupin, what are we going to do next? I'm going to pay them back for what they did to me earlier.
All right, let's go for a concentrated attack.
Lupin! It's him! He's bringing everything down around us! I've got a plan to get us out of this.
Feh, we followed you and this is what happened! What are you going to do now? Listen, Lupin can't have more than two or three men on his side.
We'll go for the snowmobiles and scatter in all directions.
Lupin won't be able to do a thing to stop us! Can we do it? Of course we can! Of course we can If not I'll take full responsibility.
It seems like Lupin is not attacking this house since you're here, Elder.
Thanks to you, I can live on a little longer.
Sorry, but would you mind untying my ropes, too, missie? Oh, I'm sorry.
Hayate has the statues you're after.
How are you gonna get them back? I don't really need those.
I've already gotten what I wanted.
You're a fast one.
Looks like they're gonna try to force their way through.
Yeah, look like it.
Well then, I guess we'll settle for chasing them out of the village.
I doubt they'll ever return, after the beating they took today.
Yeah, sounds good to me.
I didn't think they'd have landmines, too.
Hayate! The plan has failed! How do you intend to take responsibility for this? You're going to fight them by yourself? Lupin! Come out! This is our fight! I won't hand over the statues! You made fun of me right until the very end! Come out! I'm right here.
- Lupin! - Stop it, Hayate! No need to get so excited.
We're letting you go, Hayate.
Go wherever you want.
Damn it! What happens to those who fail? Well? Those who fail pay for it with their lives.
That is the law! Really, we're out of luck.
The golden statues got blown to pieces and the whereabouts of the hidden gold mine with them.
A complete waste of time again, huh? Ain't that the truth.
- Fujiko! - That's right, she was here, too! Good work, Lupin! You're the best partner for me, after all! Thanks to you, I got the map to the gold mine, which will make me a rich woman.
Bye! You bastard! She tricked me again.
Argh, I won't forgive you this time! I will never let go! Me neither! - I'll chase you to the ends of Earth! - That's telling her! How long do you intend to drag along? Stop! Hey, stop! Wait! St-stop! It's dangerous! Fujiko-chan! I get the last laugh, after all.
I switched the maps with fakes a long time ago and all the money goes to me, too.
Well, now I can enjoy my retirement in peace.
He used a time machine to travel from the future to look for me.
Kyousuke Mamou.
To take revenge from being killed by Lupin the 23rd.
I've no idea what he's going on about.
I'm only Lupin the III.
And the battle with this sci-fi guy is in next week's episode.
Beware of the Time Machine.
Stay tuned.
Twine around my feet Kick the red waves.
Machine scream It's like a crazy morning light Walter P-38 In my hand Whoever has it Everything will disappear It's a rule Lupin III
