Lupin The 3rd (1977) s01e23 Episode Script
Episode 23
The Great Golden Showdown! Wh-wh-what are you doing? Stop it, you idiot! Just kidding.
Jigen here.
Hiya, Jigen.
Watch the TV news? Nope.
I see Come on over.
All right, got it.
The gold coins discovered last night at the subway construction site have been verified to be worth approximately 10 billion yen.
Archeologists, in collaboration with the police, are currently completing the final excavation.
What? Fujiko-chan? The gold coins they found? That's right.
Come quickly.
Don't be in such a rush, now.
Welcome.
Excavated gold coins, eh? Hadn't heard of it.
They're worth ten billion! It's that car from before again.
So it is.
Well, then H-hey, can you really handle this? Relax.
Damn it Just who were they? We lost them, in any case.
Come on, Jigen.
Let's go.
Who does this enormous amount of gold belong to? The talks between the owner of the land and the workers who made the discovery have yet to reach a conclusion.
As it may take some time before an agreement is found the gold coins will be stored in the Bank of Japan for safekeeping.
"Who does the gold belong to?" You silly thing, need you even ask? To the three of us, naturally.
"Bank of Japan" That's right, Inspector Zenigata hasn't shown up yet.
What?! This is an emergency! I thought that maybe he was having tea with you, Chief Imbecile! What kind of an idiot do you think would leave the site and come here to have tea with me instead?! The tea's done, Chief.
Anyway, you just worry about guarding the gold! Chief, would you like some tea? Zenigata, what on earth are you doing here? Ten billion yen in gold coins, don't you realize that Lupin will surely attempt to steal them?! I guess so.
However, even if I'm at the Bank of Japan guarding them Lupin will steal them all the same.
What was that?! I won't tolerate that kind of an attitude from my men! Are these the words of a great detective?! Ignoring Lupin won't change the fact that he still he roams free in Tokyo! Your failures are police department's failures! Take responsibility for your actions! Now, hurry up and get to the bank! I'm not going! It's a waste of my time! What an irresponsible attitude! All right, that's it! Enough already! You're off the Lupin case! There's plenty of other work for you to do! Fine! There's something I want to say, too! Twice I have, with great effort, caught Lupin and sent him to jail! And twice he has been allowed to escape! What's up with that? Your failures, the police department's failures, why must I bear responsibility for them?! Silence! What happened in the past doesn't matter! Are you going to obey my orders or not?! What?! You're just shrugging off your responsibility! What an attitude! You sad sack! What?! You old fool! Why you! It's traffic duty for you! "Letter of Resignation" A le-letter of resignation? Ze-Zenigata-kun, let's not be rash I didn't mean anything Chief, this is my final battle with Lupin! If I lose, I will resign as an inspector! Please hold on to that.
This is why I'm not at the bank.
This is the plan.
What? Operation: Hideout Annihilation? Anyway, that's one hefty load of gold coins, innit? Lupin, why didn't you call Goemon? Goemon we'll safe for later.
Hey, some tea over here! Never mind the tea for now.
Lupin, there's something strange going on outside.
The traffic's usually never this quiet Chief, the reason why we've always failed in the past is that we've tried to catch him at the scene of crime.
This time, we'll target his hideouts.
If we destroy all of their hideouts they'll have no place to run to.
Inspector Zenigata, we've found Lupin's hideout! All right! Lupin, you're hiding in such an ordinary place? Inspector Zenigata, we have them completely surrounded! All right, move in! Lupin, Lupin, Lupin! I'm not going to let you escape this time! Lupin, time to give up! There's absolutely no escape! Did you hear me, Lupin?! The street, the manholes, the sky we've got absolutely everything covered.
He has to be in there! All right Break it down! Where is he?! Where is Lupin?! Inspector! There's nobody here! That can't be! Search! Search for them! Lupin is definitely in this room! Damn it! Inspector, look at this.
Definitely something of Lupin's.
Take it down to forensics.
Yes, sir! What about Lupin? We haven't found him yet, but we did find something of his.
Taking it down to the forensics lab.
OK, good work.
Oh, our pleasure.
Zenigata-kun, haven't you been able to find Lupin yet? Uh, no, not quite yet.
Hi there, Pops Zenigata.
Found this place, huh? Nothing less from you! This isn't the only hideout I have, though.
By the way, about that gold treasure Since they can't seem to decide who it belongs to I'll just have to decide for them! Well, then, see you at the Bank of Japan.
Damn it, I'm gonna kill that Lupin! Damn it! Zenigata-kun, is this all the results of your plan amount to? Damn! Lupin, you! He sure caught us unawares, following the two of you.
Luckily the follow-up isn't his strong point.
Nevertheless, Zenigata is acting different from usual this time.
Oh? Different? How so? It's the same as always.
He's the same as ever.
However, Lupin we cannot be sure this place is safe, either.
There's no way he's going to find this place.
On that note, I wonder how long it's been since we were last here? It's rusted shut It won't turn Ouch Damn, we sure haven't used this place in a long time.
This archive is composed entirely of crime reports.
The police department has only about one-tenth of these.
Dusty as hell.
Maybe we should just give these all to Zenigata.
The memorable canvas planes used by the Lupin family in their great crimes! Ooh, this one's still in flying condition! What do you think of this gorgeous? And that's end of the Lupin museum, eh? Yeah, but I didn't need any this stuff anyway.
Same goes for the rest of this stuff.
From the world's greatest soft top cars to the antique guns, it's all useless.
It's nothing but garbage now.
Well, Jigen, how's that piece of antiquity? Hey, Lupin Are we're really going to rob the Bank of Japan using this old stuff? Of course.
I already went and announced we're coming.
We'll do it tomorrow.
"Daruma Bentou - Catering and Shipment - Food Agency Incorporated" It's almost 12 o'clock.
Here, sorry for the wait! Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Here are your lunch boxes.
Let's check the inside of the vault now, why don't we? Lupin! This has been a long time coming Bye-bye.
Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Wake on up! Wake up! Zenigata-kun What is this? Chief, one third of the gold coins Lupin took were fake.
Those fake coins are going to tell us exactly where Lupin is going.
They're still on the move.
Zenigata-kun Chief, please observe carefully! Before the day is through, I will have captured Lupin! Lupin, you no matter where you go, Zenigata-sama can see you crystal clear! Heavy, ain't they? What's wrong, Lupin? The job was a success, so why the long face? I don't like this.
Somehow it feels like we've been had Jigen, let me see that coin.
A tracking device.
What? So Zenigata could following us right now? All right, Fujiko.
Take that highway intersection.
OK.
Ready to give up, Lupin? Inspector! Ah, they stopped.
They must've arrived at their hideout.
Come on, hurry up! They split in two, eh? Lupin had a second car ready for the transportation, huh? They split in three! They must've prepared two extra cars! Huh? Huh?! Inspector! Does Lupin have this many accomplishes? Idiot! Of course not! Hey, hurry up! Hurry? Where to? Idiot! They've spread all over Tokyo! What in the world is going on? "Metropolitan Sanitary - Depot" Lupin, this is the last one.
Righto! Have a nice day! This will have Zenigata looking for us all over Tokyo.
They've bitten off more than they can handle, though.
I feel a bit sorry for them.
Right now, Zenigata is Hoplah! Ah, Zenigata-kun! This is Zenigata! All patrol cars head out! Destinations follow! Car 302 here.
We've reached the location, but there's no sign of Lupin's car.
Hey! Number 302, how is it? Inspector, number 302 has moved 2 km north! Car 302, go 2 km North! Car 84 here, we haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
Hey, number 84? Number 84 going south towards a residential area! Car 84, go south! - Car 103 here.
We see nothing suspicious.
- Hey, number 103?! Number 103 has already entered East Street.
Idiot, that's number 24! Huh, then where's 103? Be clear about it, you idiots! You moron, that's number 31! You idiots! Cheers! They're really going at it! Hang in there, Pops Zenigata! Don't give up! Truly a scheme to grievously impair them.
Well, then, let's head home, Lupin.
All right, let's toast one more time to Zenigata's efforts.
Cheers! Hey, Zenigata-kun What're we gonna do? My my position! What will become of it? Huh? Zenigata-kun! Zenigata! Shut up! Damn that Lupin, what has he done? Why in the world aren't the transmitters working? Inspector! Please look at this! The lights are! The lights are all heading for the same place! The lights are? Why? Still, I bet Pops Zenigata couldn't even in his wildest dreams imagine that our hideout could be underneath this landfill.
It's a dream come true, this land of treasure! Lupin Garbage trucks! Garbage trucks? Lupin, looks like you made a little blunder, eh? Your hideouts have all been uncovered! You have nowhere to escape to! Lupin! What's the matter? Aren't we going to escape? Hey, Lupin! We have rigged the underground lair with heavy explosives.
How about we trigger them, Inspector Zenigata? You expect me to take such a sorry threat seriously? You can see for yourself whether it's a threat or not.
What? But you'd die in the explosion, too! I'm perfectly fine with that.
After making such a stupid mistake, I don't deserve to live anymore.
It's better for the gold to be back where no one can find it.
It's going to the bottom of the ocean, the ocean soil will conceal it.
Tokyo will be cleaner that way, too.
See ya.
It's been a pleasure.
Wa Wa-wait, Lupin! - It's dangerous, Inspector! - Wait! Don't do it, you idiot! Don't be so rash! If you die, it's the end! Lupin! Lupin Lupin, you what am I going to do now? Lupin Hey, is everyone okay? Yeah.
A-OK.
Huge success! What are we going to do now, captain? We'll have to find ourselves a new hideout.
Well, since money isn't an issue, there's nothing to worry about! Lupin, look over there! Hold it! Lupin, you! C'mon, wait! Lupin! Moron! That's the way to America! Should we maybe go to China, instead? 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
