What the hell's this... ?
What the... ! Ouch!
Wow, everyone's so good looking! Wonderful!
C...Cut it out!
Knock it off!
C...Calm down, Ching.
O...OK, Willy, I know.
Gentlemen, what are your favourite monsters?
I hate monsters...
But it's customary to wear monster masks at this club.
How about these? I think they'd suit you, myself.
What the hell are you talking about, you moron?
We're already wearing masks!
O rly? What are those monsters called?
Jigen and Goemon... a monster with a 0.3 second fast-draw.
Where's Lupin? Tell us!
Gee, I dunno.
Don't blow it, you hear me?
I'll kill Lupin.
Oh, if it isn't the boss!
Do you remember me?
Hey, if it ain't Old Lady Rosetta! I remember you, I really do!
Still clinging to life, I see.
I'll worry about your funeral arrangements, so drink up!
Oh, I'm so happy! Thank you, boss.
This is great!
Well, this Interpol bastard, Zenigata chases me all over the place...
But you see, he's a bumbling, blockheaded nincompoop...
...and such a big bungler that even his intestinal bacteria are twisted!
Excuse us! Mr. Lupin, we have a special delivery from Tokyo!
Ah! Over here, over here!
I...It's Lupin!
Maybe it's a love present from Fujiko...
Hehe! So sorry, Lupin!
It is unexpectedly, Zenigata, the man of the twisted intestinal bacteria!
Bungling, blockheaded nincompoop Zenigata!
Well? Aren't you impressed?
Oh, did you hear that? Sorry!
Yeah, hate to break it to you, but I just had my ears cleaned...
...at the barbershop yesterday, you see.
I didn't know! I didn't know!
Please! Please!
More! More! More!
Dammit!
Hey, what're you doing? Knock it off!
Knock it off, or you're under arrest!
Old Man, those cymbals really suit you.
Enough to make me want to give you a kiss.
Oh! Then why don't you kiss me?
I swear, I just can't keep going with you. Well, bye-bye!
Hold it! Running away is for cowards!
Huh?!
Wait, Lupin!
Damn!
We're doomed! Run! Run!
Hmm? Once again, you've cut worthless things...
Peek-a-boo!
Now, on whom will the Godess of Victory smile?
The master thief Lupin, or Inspector Zenigata of Interpol?
It's the start of the Broadway Grand Prix race!
Betting odds are 100:1. Make that 1000:1!
You bastard!
Pardon me!
Thank you. Thank you, oh, thank you!
Why is that long-armed ape still alive?
Shouldn't he be long dead by now, Kowaiski?
There was probably a hitch. Don't worry, Junior.
I'll se to it that he's taken care of before tomorrow morning.
How?
Would you prefer that I float, or sink him in the Hudson River?
Float him... I think I'll drink a toast with my girlfriend, as we look over the river.
Ok, I'll float him right at noon then.
" I BET ON LUPIN. IF HE LOSES WE'RE THROUGH! "
There's never been a longshot like this!
Naturally! Lupin's got it in the bag!
Nobody's gonna bet on Zenigata!
That's right!
Lupin, hang in there... please!
Yo, Fujiko! I'll be right there!
Oh, I know!
Stare...!
Hey! Lupin, wait up! Wait up!
Damn you, Lupin! I'll get you!
Next time we meet, next time for sure...!
Oh, it was nothing, it was nothing!
I hear you. Half of the take goes to Marciano, right?
Sam, let this thing handle the money-counting.
Wow! I got that much...
huh?!
"So, sora, sora, sora, a dance of bills...
"tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-la..."
Why you...!
You let him take it from you?!
You see this, Mike?
Eek!
This is no ordinary flyswatter. Listen up, Willy.
Uh, yes, sir!
This goes for any man who is a member of the New York mafia:
The first time he sees this, he'll turn bashful red...
...the second time he sees this, he'll turn terrified white...
...and the third time he sees this, he'll turn purple...
...and that'll be the end. It's that kind of punishment.
That's right, it's a flyswatter of death!
If you understand, then turn around!
OK! Close youre eyes! Grit your teeth!
Why you... Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
Ro... Ro... Ro...!
Ro...Ro...Rosetta's... huh?!
IT...IT'S A GHOST!
No, my legs're right where they should be. Look. I can't be a ghost...
Huh?
I've been helping myself.
OK. Rosetta, you can have that Bourboun. Now beat it, beat it, beat it!
No can do. I believe strongly in paying back today's debts today.
Huh? Hey, Old Lady, what're you thinking?
What do you think of my dance, Lupin?
I may not look like it, but long ago I danced all over the world!
That's enough! Stop it, Rosetta!
You've paid me back plenty.
What a barbarian you are.
It's not with my dancing that I though to pay you back.
What?
Now, Lupin, take me!
You're so cute, Lupin!
Wh...Who asked you?!
I'll tell you somehing wonderful.
Th...Th...That's all right!
Once upon a time, in the fifth century B.C. ...
...Babylon, the capital of the up-to-then thriving Mesopotamian civilization...
...is said to have been destroyed by the advancing Great Army of Persia.
However, it is also said that just before Babylon was destroyed...
...a God appeared, gathered up all the gold in Babylon, and hid it away.
Oh? So? And?
The God called the treasure "The Wealth of Babylon", and in this candelabra...
Huh? He's still there!
So you came around huh, you New York Mafia cockroaches!
Rosetta! Put me down! Put me down! No! No! No! No! No!
I'll do him, Chin.
No. I'll kill Lupin.
All right, move it, Old Lady!
Lupin, we'll die together!
No way! N...NO WAY!
Lead bullets don't get through to me.
I take gold balls... that is, golden bullets, or diamond bullets, though.
Now stick 'em up.
Finished?
No, not yet. Can't just let 'em go now can I? Right, Old Lady?
That Old Lady moves fast when she has to. OK, form a single line!
"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"
"Here we go! Here we go!"
"We cannot stand defeat!"
What the hell's that?
A souvernir left behind by Old Lady Rosetta.
Hm? This could be one hellacious item.
That old woman seems to know that I'm trying to get close to Marciano...
...and sniff out the secret of Babylon. Who the hell is she?
Hmmm...
An Occidental Beggar!
What're you painting, Marciano?
I was thinking of painting a long-armed ape, but I've gone to something else.
I had an incredible dream last night, you see.
Oh, now it's a statue of a golden lion?
The other day it was a golden coffin, right?
You do a lot of dreaming, don't you.
But I wonder if the Wealth of Babylon is really there.
It is. Do you not believe what I say?
It's always just talk. Sooner or later I'd like you to show me some action.
How's that for an engagement ring, Fujiko?
Don't misunderstand me, Marciano.
I thought I said I'd give you my love after you found the Gold of Babylon.
I'll find the Gold of Babylon any time now.
My organization is making an all-out search effort, after all.
I'm not just doing this on a whim.
It's an enterprise dating back to my father's time.
I'm tired of hearing that. I think I'll go back to Tokyo soon.
Fujiko...
Come on out. I'll show you some action.
OK. But hang on a sec.
Open Sesame.
My father gave control of this territory to Lucky Luciano...
...but not because he got fed up with family business.
It was because the search for the Gold of Babylon entranched him.
It all started when clay tablets were found at a subway construction site...
...under Madison Square Garden.
What were clay tablets inscribed with Babyloninan cuneiforms doing...
...buried deep underground in New York?
To this day, it ramains an unsolvable mystery, but from that moment...
...my father completley washed his hands of the business of organized crime...
...and threw himself into excavating the ruins of Babylon.
Unfortunately, at exactly the same time...
...Hitler sent a large-scale archaeological investigation unit to Iraq.
Hitler was searching for the same thing as my father.
Gold! A golden object, said to have been created by order of...
...King Nebuchadneezzar, out of the gold gathered from all over Babylonia.
An object?!
I don't know what form it takes. But there's no doubt that it is gold.
The clay tablets that my father found were thus inscribed.
And so I decided to carry on my fathers enterprise...
...leaving the organization in the hands of Kowalski, a young boss.
Oh, it's wonderful!
Close Sesame.
Well done, Fujiko. You didn't even spare a glance for the rest of the trash.
So these are the famous Manhattan inscriptions?
Yeah, that's right.
It's said that in all, 50 clay tablets have been found in Manhattan...
Of those, 40 are here.
What?!
Hey, this is odd. aren't cuneiformes supposed to be gouged inward?
These are projecting outward.
I wonder if they could be inverse characters?
Can you read them?
Not hardly.
I'm impressed, Fujiko. As you say, the Manhattan Babylonian inscriptions...
...are all inverse characters.
I knew it... Just as Lupin said it was.
What?
Lupin has gathered several tablets similar to these.
Not as many as this, though.
It can't be. So you're saying that he's after the same thing?
Oh, didn't you know?
He's thoroughly investigated the Gold of Babylon, and your father...
...and knows all about them. And about you too, of course.
I'll kill him! I'll kill him! That long-armed ape! That stinking thief!
"stinking thief?" That's no way to talk.
I wonder what Lupin would say if he heard that.
A concealed camera, huh?!
Have you been secretly taking photos?!
EEK! Pervert! How nasty! What are you going to do to me?!
L...Lupin. You can't get out of here.
Don't worry. Just go to sleep.
I've got your voice recorded right here.
"Open Sesame"
I'll take the treasure of Babylon. Nighty-night.
This new job?
I'll give it my all!
What do you think of modern female university students?
They're just sooo CUTE!
Which food doesn't you like?
Octopus... Oh, yeah. I'm thinking of going to Paris for escagot.
How about a word for Inspector Zenigata?
Comissioner, please assign me to a team for the sole purpose of arresting Lupin!
Which food doesn't you like?
Octopus... Oh, yeah. I'm thinking of going to Paris for escagot.
How about a word for Inspector Zenigata?
Peek-a-boo!
Why you, Lupin!
Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!
How dare you make fun of me! Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!
Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!
Why you! Why you!
Zenigata!
Yes sir?
As of today, I'm removing you from the Lupin detail.
NO! Comissioner, you can't do that!
Y...Your new orders...
Non, non, non!
Commissioner! I, Zenigata, work only, only on the Lupin case, nothing else!
"Non, non, non!" If you complain about it, you'll be discharged!
Ladies and gentlemen passing by, please pardon this disturbance.
This is an ICPO publicity balloon.
From Alaska in the north to New Guinea in the south...
...fifty policewomen, representing the police forces...
...of all the countries of the world...
...will compete in the Miss ICPO international policewoman...
...beauty contest. Don't miss it!
Entry No. 9: from the U.S. Miss Caramel!
Entry No. 11: from China, Miss Jinjao!
Entry No. 35: from the U.S.S.R. Miss Zakskaya!
Entry No. 41: from Kenya, Miss Saranda!
And now, the winner.
Entry No. 26: from Italy, Miss Lasagna!
How did that ugly pig get chosen?!
The judging process is extremely fishy!
Suspicions remain!
Hold the contest again!
Well? Come on, answer us!
Man! What a situation!
Can ICPO, premier in the world, really get away with wasting time like this?!
Ha! Dammit!
Zenigata!
Commissioner, what's wrong?
I...I...I'm reassigning you to the Lupin case!
What? I...Is that true, Sir?
Commissioner, I...I live to arrest Lupin...!
Zenigata, in addition, I want you to take some things.
As of today, I assign these subordinates to you. And Lasagna too.
Just you wait, Lupin! This time I'll throw you in the slammer!
And now the moment you've been waiting for.
The translation of the Manhattan Inscriptions is...
"God... ordered, gather all the gold of the country..."
"...built a... Its location is to the south of Babylon... Cupid."
A place with all the country's gold has me piqued.
It'll probably mass tens of thousands of tons, huh?
Sorry, Lupin.
I make a point not to believe stories which have Gods in them.
I don't believe that stuff either.
This "God" stuff is undoubtedly just something the King made up...
...as a mask for his own activities.
Even if you believe in the treasure of Babylon...
...I don't accept the location where the ancient writings were discovered.
Why are they in America now?
What business do the have being in the earth of New York?
That's the one discordant note of this whole story...
...the hidden treasure chest, wouldn't you say?
Count me out.
Hey, wait Goemon! I'll open this box for sure, you'll see!
Hey Jigen!
This is a colossal treasure, which Alexander the Great...
...is said to have searched for in antiquity!
More recently, Napoleon, and Hitler!
Men who've plotten world conquest have been obsessed with this treasure.
And you want me to just give it to these lowlife gangsters?!
Chill out, Lupin.
You're chickening out, aren't you, Jigen?!
Nobody said I'm not in. We're out of cognac.
Cognac? You can EAT cognac, for all I care.
The circumstances under which the clay tablets were found...
What the...?
Lupin, I love you.
E...Excuse me, but what do you mean by "Love"?
Is it kissing? If so, then spare me!
Oh, Alex kissed me 100 times in a single day.
Huh? Who's "Alex"?
Alexander! Leo was also in love with me. He was always getting fresh.
Which is why he didn't get enough sleep, and kept falling off his horse.
Huh? When was this, old lady?
At the battle of Waterloo, of course! That was when it happened.
WHAT?! Then, "Leo" is Napo... Napo... Napoleon?!
Yes, yes. Napoleon. He was a cute one.
This is hopeless. I can't make heads or tails of what she's saying.
South of Babylon...
Enough, enough! Stop it, please!
Oh, there it is! I was wondering where it had got to.
What a shock! A whoops-the-baby!
Every 75 years... Stand atop the Tower of Babel.
Hey, old lady.
What's the connection between the comet on that candelabra...
...and the treasure of Babylon?
God rides in a comet... to come see the gold of Babylon.
So what about you? Are you supposed to be God's guide along the way?
Lupin, you're going to Babylon, right?
You should remember, dark holes await you... Dark holes.
Lupin...
I love you!
S...S...Stop it, already!
I mean it. I love you, Lupin.
All right, all right, platonically, right?
Oh!
Stop being mean to me!
That old woman's lived for 2500 years? Her?! That's ridiculous!
Jigen, drop your gun! If you show me to Lupin's hideout, I'll let you live.
That you, Kowaiski? How do you plan to get to Babylon?
The way the song says.
Heh! You mean by candlelight?!
Precisely!
After him!
Hey you! Cockroaches!
Can you get there by candlelight? Yes, and back again.
All right, Kowaiski! Light your candle!
Jigen I'll leave nothing but bones!
What do you say we get going, Jigen?
Goemon! Are you coming, or aren't you?
Secret technique: The lightning cut!
You two are really impressive.
Ok, get in, Goemon. There's work to do.
Terine de foie gras and veal steak. Extravagant, isn't it?
For the wine, a '59 Bordeaux, ne'cast pas?
Very good, sir.
Terine de foie gras, huh?
That'll be plenty, what's with the vegetable sauté!
Me kill Lupin.
Always prepared, huh, Chin?
Me kill Lupin!
People's thoughts aren't all that different, huh?
Somebody slap the cuffs on these two.
Are you telling us to put them in handcuffs, inspector?
Right.
THESE HANDCUFFS ARE FOR LUPIN!
Four or five in the front cars.
Same in the passenger cars. One of them is...
Here's our wine list.
"Independent actions are prohibited.
"Attract them. Fashinate them first!"
I'll have this.
Me too.
Very good, ladies.
My my my!
Oh, oh, a pair of my kind of big-busted ladies! May I join you?
Yes, come on.
"Come on!" Don't mind if I do!
A special sleeping drug...
Looks like they're here.
Lupin, let's switch seats... Huh?!
Sleep, Lupin. Deeply. Like a sea cucumber.
What the?!
What the hell?!
This dress is ruined!
Njet, harasho!
Hands up, Lupin!
I'm policewoman Saranda of ICPO. You're under arrest!
What's going on?
You bastard! How dare you, a thief, lay hands on a policewoman!
Huh? Oh, uh, wrong wrong wrong!
Shut up! Surrender quietly!
Rather than that, shouldn't you evacuate the passengers?
What?
Later
Hold it, Lupin!
Imprudence.
Um...
...I'm Jinjao
My name is Goemon. Excuse me!
OK, hold it Lupin!
Hey, old man!
Now you won't get away!
Lupin!
Whoopsie!
Come back here!
Why you!
Hold it Lupin!
I swear, they don't know when to quit!
Huh?! Who the hell are you?!
Lupin, you're under arrest!
You certainly do hang in there, don't you.
Damn you...until I catch you I'll...
Coochie coochie coo!
So long, old man!
Damn! Lupin, don't think you've escaped me!
What's wrong, Goemon?
I won't forget. You're like a lbeautiful flower.
You're in love, aren't ya, Goemon?
Now I get it in the gut!
There's an Italian archaelogical team digging straight to the south of...
...the ruins of Babylon, right?
The leader is Dr. Tartini. Am I right?
Yes you are.
He worked for the Marciano Foundation until Iraq's Sultanate was overthrown.
Or, in simpler language, he's a graverobber.
So? Has this Tartini expedition dug unything up?
Yeah, just ten days ago. The Tower of Babel.
What! The tower of Babel?
Oh come on. The Tower of Babel was dug up a long time ago.
In the remains of the temple of Babylon, clay tablets...
...were found that contained inscriptions identical to those in the Old Testament...
...and it came to be accepted that that was the Tower of Babel, right?
However, it seems that that one was the second Tower...
...and that this one is older and much more ancient, or so Tartini says.
Hmm... Could Marciano have already dug up the treasure?
Didn't you say it would be tens of thousands of tons?
How would one move something that heavy?
Knowing him, he'll take it even if he has to mobilize the army.
