What do they expect to accomplish by convening the G7 group today?
Who knows, guess they have too much free time on their hands.
Seeing as we're here as well, I guess we do also...
It annoys me that the United States have all this power.
Except for France and Great Britain they treat the other countries
- Germany, Canada and Italy - as subordinates.
Japan is beeing treated even worse, don't you think?
They probably want to discuss economic matters,
so I guess Japan will be backed into a corner.
That'll make for some easy stories about Japan-bashing.
Hey, wait a moment...
I guess we can relax now...
Oh... Hum...
Well, gentlemen, let's get started.
Now that the Gulf War is ended,
our economy is a total disaster - what shall we do?
One moment, aren't you making tons of money from the boom in ammunitions sales?
After all, your country has exclusive rights over the Middle East.
Don't be ridiculous, we have an unemployment rate of 6%,
and those sales aren't enough to make up for it.
Calm down gentlemen, please, isn't it true that Japan can help us as always?
They want our aid.
We must consult the Government, and that demands time.
We cannot allow us the luxury of being egoists - we must give each other
a hand if we want to reorganize our economies.
We'll have to come up with some way to make money and share the profits,
to restore the economy. Any Ideas?
Get out!
How come the NYPD only sent me four men?
Not to mention, a bunch of rejects as well!
It's not our choice but the commissoner's, and the G7 meet is in session,
so many policemen have gone to the Plaza Hotel.
Screw the G7 meeting! Lupin has sent me a letter
in which he announces another theft.
"I'll break into the Museum of Modern Art 3.00 PM today,"
"So look out for some fun, See you there, ol' pal. - Lupin III"
Do you understand what this means?
What's our priority - Lupin or the G7 meet?
Why, the G7 of course.
Only 20 minutes left.
Go ahead, lock all the doors and windows of the museum! Hurry! Hurry!
A complete analysis of the long term world economy indicates that...
since the economy of the exchange is always based on the parity of the purchasing power
and considering that the official rate in 41.3% of the cases is inversely
proportionate to the square root of the medium value...
Enough, it is incomprehensible. I have no idea what you're talking about.
We need something more practical.
The next economist, please.
I'm convinced that the only solution in order to restore the world economy
is that someone finds the treasure of the Lupin Empire.
Whoops!
Ten more minutes.
The Lupin Empire prospered in France during the middle ages,
and was well-known for it's vast fortune.
But prosperity didn't last forever. The Lupin Empire collapsed,
and the treasure was hidden away somewhere after it's fall.
Today, that treasure is worth at least 200 billion dollars!
There is only one person in the world that knows where the treasure is hidden.
Lupin III, the last descendant of the Lupin family!
All the doors and the windows are sealed, Inspector.
Only five minutes left!
Show some enthusiasm, will ya?
This duty sucks, man. We don't get to shoot nothin'.
Lupin! Lupin III! There is no alternative!
The only way to save the world economy is to uncover the treasure of the Lupin Empire!
Well well well, we need some time to think.
I need some air, why don't we take a pause?
Sure, the Americans are very strange and have a particular taste,
but how can they call that thing art?
I knew it was you Lupin. Guards!
What is it Inspector? Where's the assassin?
He is not an assassin, it's Lupin wearing an dungheap.
The dung, The dung!
Get me the director of the CIA,
he must find me this Lupin immediately!
We are speaking about billions of dollars at stake,
hurry, hurry.
The Lupin Empire was French, therefore it must be ours!
Find him before anyone else does!
Try to think what we could do with all that money...
the problem of unemployment in the former East Germany...
could be resolved, for example.
Now, if we succeed to get that treasure,
the British Empire will be a world power again!
It could cover the billions of dollars that we poured
to the allied forces in the Gulf. You must find Lupin at all costs!
What? Lupin is in the Museum of Modern Art?
What the hell are you doing you idiots!?
Why didn't you send more men over there?
Incompetent! Don't worry about guarding this hotel!
Send every man in the NYPD to the museum, you ass!
I found you, Lupin!
Long time no see, Pops! So you're here too?
Remember the game we play? You've sent me the usual letter -
You're under arrest!
Open the door, you open the door right now Lupin!
Is the assassin in there?
I have told you he's not an assassin!
C-c-cease fire! Stop shooting!
Lupin!
Don't shoot the bastard, I want to take him alive!
Pops will never change, he's always his usual self.
Don't shoot! I said don't shoot!
You are quite hopelessly stupid! Don't shoot!
Lupin!
Stop, you come here!
What are you gonna do with that thing?
I'll explain another time, I don't have time now.
Adios, Pops!
Here's the Packard 1908 that you asked me for.
I always stick to my promises, sweetie.
Will you keep your promise and drive to heaven with me?
So sorry dear, but I changed my mind.
Bye!
I guess I prefer modern cars after all.
You know, I will drive you to heaven, baby.
What the hell should I do now with this car?
That ticks me off!
Lupin!
I can't go any further; I suppose SOME red lights really mean "stop"...
There's no use making jokes - you're under arrest!
It's always a pleasure to see you Pops, but to me it seems
you've exaggerated this deployment of forces.
Shut up. I know I've finally nailed you.
This time you won't be able to escape me.
Lupin!
Lupin, give it up!
See you later, Pops. You're too predictable.
Women are scary, though.
Lupin, Sooner or later I will get you!
Just you wait, Lupin!
LUPIN III -
LUPIN III Napoleon's dictionary
Lupin! You're under arrest!
You stole a car for a woman, from a museum.
You were in fact chased by every policeman in New York and all for a woman...
who ended up dumping you as well, pathetic.
Frankly, Lupin, you must be crazy!
Men exists to be fooled by women.
Well, YOU do.
My point is, every time a woman pulls a trick like that on me,
it stimulates me to work.
This car, for example - with some adjustments,
I can use it for the next job.
What are you going after next?
Madrid - Paris Classic Motorcar Race
You're going to enter in that race?
With all that hard work? Nope, I just want the first prize.
Napoleon's dictionary.
Napoleon said; "In my dictionary the word "Impossible" does not exist."
I want to discover if it is true.
It would amuse me to take a look at this dictionary
to see if that word really is there or not.
You can go - I'm not going there!
Wait, where are you going?
We've been pals for a long time!
Hey, lay off!
We'll go to Paris, you'll see that it's worth it.
This may be the only time I'll fly 1st class.
Who will know?
Inspector Zenigata, right?
I'm Chieko Kido from the National Security Agency.
I've come to pick you up.
Thanks Miss, at your service!
Here you are, Mr. Zenigata.
What do you mean? This is the official residence of the Prime Minister!
Prime Minister Umibe wants to talk with you in person.
Huh?
Welcome.
I'm honoured.
The pleasure is mine.
I've been told that you were transferred to ICPO, and have been
chasing the infamous Lupin for a long time. Is that true?
Yes sir!
Well, after having spoken with my secretary,
I can assure you that me and my cabinet will make every effort in order to help you.
Could you please tell me what your net salary is?
Er, 180285 Yen a month.
I've spoken with my secretary about being able to increase your wages
to 1 million Yen a month, excluding taxes.
1 million Yen!?
Are you serious? That's 12 million Yen a year!
I don't care myself, and I don't care about the expenses.
I only want you to guarantee me that you'll arrest Lupin and that
you'll bring him to Japan; this is your highest priority.
Thank you so much, sir!
I'm Robert Hawk, captain of the Special Task Force of the CIA, sir.
Please, this is an informal encounter, Captain.
Sit down, something to drink?
No, thanks, I'm fine.
You know what to do?
Yes Sir, I must capture Lupin.
Very good. The president has given the authorization for this operation.
You are to capture Lupin at all costs.
How far can I go, sir?
I cannot answer that question because I'm a politician.
The president has over 90% support in the polls.
He could probably be re-elected
even if he had an affair with madonna.
The budget for the CIA has been reduced,
but if you succeed in capturing Lupin, it will be doubled next year,
and you will be promoted as well.
You're already on his tracks?
Our agents have located him in Scotland,
and one of our best agents have him under surveilance.
I'm counting on you, Hawk.
I must be finished before the contest begins,
why don't you give me a hand instead of just sitting there?
The race isn't your main concern, is it?
Now that we know where Napoleon's dictionary is...
- with the Martinbeck foundation.
But when they give it to the winner of the race,
things will become complicated.
Then why don't you stop fooling around with that car,
and go straight to Paris instead?
Even if I did I'm sure I would find myself in trouble.
This way, I'm prepared for it ahead of time.
Is there something you're not telling me?
You'll see soon enough.
Has the American police followed you all the way here?
Maybe.
Are you saying that it could be someone else?
Perhaps.
It's more or less all the same to you...
Everyone is in position, sir.
Move out.
I need a bit more time. Could you keep them occupied for a while?
All right, but it doesn't look easy to hadle by myself.
Can I take your piece?
But take good care of it, I'm kinda attached to it you know?
I'll go easy on her.
Don't teach it any of your bad habits.
Try to hurry it up.
Don't worry.
Just a bit more, Jigen...
Come on, Lupin, hurry it up!
Lupin!
It's a shame there's no beautiful girls
who'd call my name with that enthusiasm.
Who the hell are you?
My name is unimportant.
Is that so?
It's time.
You'll get hurt if you chase 'em too hard!
I've learned that from women, Jigen, don't you believe me?
Oh, shut it!
Hop in - we're in a hurry.
And who the hell are they?
Do movie stars know the names of the fans that chase them?
Find Lupin.
Yes Sir.
We both know that we'll end up in either a red kimono or a white kimono,
so therefore allow me to accompany you.
You must be doing well, if you can grant yourself
the luxury of a Yakuza film in the middle of the day,
while everyone else is earning a living working their asses off.
Wait.
Where is Lupin now?
I do not know.
All the intelligence agencies in the world are trying to find him.
I couldn't live with myself if someone else catch him before I do.
I need to catch up with him first.
This time Lupin is really in danger.
He'll not be able to save himself this time. Please, you must help him, Goemon.
Please, tell me where he is.
I do not know.
You worthless...
Hey, watch out!
Inspector, a quarter ago there was a shootout in Scotland.
Involving Lupin?
A chartered plane is on standby at the airport. Inspector, let's hurry.
Sure Miss, let's go at once.
Now showing: "Loyalty Above All"
Help!
Hi, all rich people!
Oooh! Definitely rich.
In the name of the Martinbec foundation, I thank all of you for participating in
our classic car race that we have organized.
The rules are as follows; The starting point is here in Madrid,
pass the checkpoint in Bordeaux and
thereafter reach finish line in Paris.
The first to arrive there will have won.
As long as you pass the checkpoint in Bordeaux,
you're able to choose freely
whichever road that you want to take.
The winner will as a prize get the legendary Napoleon's dictionary.
Ready, start!
What?
Know what, Jigen? Looks like the race has started.
Have our friendship come to this?
Tell me the truth.
You don't really want to study the dictionary. You're not the academic type.
Hey baby! If you're bored, let's get married!
Can't you at least be serious once a year?
Sorry, sorry!
Actually, Napoleon's dictionary was my ancestors' treasure.
It was the great Napoleon I, who said;
"In my dictionary the word "Impossible" doesn't exist."
His dictionary was passed from generation to generation
in his family, and became part of the Napoleon family treasure.
However, during the reign of Napoleon III,
the dictionary went missing.
Thats when all the traces of the dictionary dissappeared from the history books.
Actually, it was stolen by one of the maids.
As it turns out, the maid who stole the dictionary married my grandfather, Lupin I.
So that's how the famous dictionary came in the possession
of the Lupin family.
My grandfather did quite well in his career, but he was also a real womanizer.
He stole treasures from all over the world, got rich, and established
the Lupin Empire...
But after that, all he did was chasing pretty girls and partying.
This way of living caused him to waste all of his money.
My grandmother was displeased with his behavior and decided
to hide the treasure in a secret place, but noted where she had put it
in Napoleon's dictionary.
As expected, the Lupin Empire fell,
and my family lost everything - except the famous dictionary.
It was passed to Lupin II, but he was just like his father.
One day, not being able to pay the bills,
he was forced to leave the dictionary in pledge.
The dictionary has been missing ever since.
And now it reappears unexpectedly, as the prize for this race.
Exactly.
So you're after the treasure described in the dictionary.
It's a treasure of my Grandfather's, therefore it belongs to me.
Hello Hello Hello Hello
Speaking of womanizers, I guess you Lupins are all alike...
So, you're planning to get to Paris before anyone else,
and steal the dictionary. Is that what you have in mind?
Bingo.
Do the people who are chasing us know the secret of the dictionary?
If they did, they'd probably head straight for Paris.
That's true.
But they know that you know the secret, and they want to catch you to make you sing.
And that's why I've made some small modifications...
...to the Packard.
This is Hammer, what's happening?
Lupin has passed through here, driving an old Packard automobile.
Which way did he go?
He's headed for Madrid.
Good, received.
Yes! I've got it!
Lupin wants to participate in the race, and for this he has stolen the Packard.
He stands out like the sun.
He would steal a car for one run?
You don't know anything about him Miss, Lupin loves to risk his life
for foolish little things like this.
Pilot, break off towards Spain.
The prize is Napoleon's dictionary.
Put away the artillery, Jigen - you're making me nervous.
The "artillery", as you say,
is a friend of mine who has saved our asses many times.
Don't you worry. We have the Packard,
and I have modified it for all eventualities,
so please relax and enjoy the trip.
How much further?
Approximately ten kilometers.
Floor it, hurry!
Are you alone?
What's it look like, Miss?
Me too.
We'll catch up soon.
We're not in this race,
let's go straigt for Paris.
Hold on a sec... Isn't that Fujiko?
She's found another guy to rip of, you know how it goes...
As always. Fujiko will never change.
Fire!
Lupin. - Eh?
Listen. Don't you hear it?
Hear what?
What's that?
It's a Tomahawk.
It's as stubborn as a woman in love...
...when it chases you it keeps up like it's glued to your back.
See?
We are in trouble.
Inspector, I don't think Lupin
would participate in a contest like this.
Listen, Miss. I've chased Lupin for more than 20 years;
I know everything about him, from his elementary school grades,
to the number of women who have dumped him.
If I tell you that he will be in the race you can be sure of it.
It's Lupin!
Hello, Fujiko-chan!
Ah, if it isn't Lupin. Long time no see.
How nice, I see that you've caught yourself another rich guy?
When will you learn to stop being so rude?
How much money do you have?
Her love is proportional to your bank balance.
Lupin!
We don't have time to screw around!
Oh. See ya, Fujiko!
I hope that you're not listening to him. He used to be a house servant of my family.
He only said that because he's jealous.
Wouldn't this be the time to pull out one or two of the modifications you spoke about?
Sure, you just have to say it!
It's all ready - look, Jigen.
I don't see it anymore. If it's gone, we can get out.
I have an invitation for you from Washington, Lupin.
I'll have to decline. I've been there many times!
You won't take offense if I stay home?
Throw away your weapons.
Lupin's getting away!
Can you handle a gun, Miss?
I was the top student one on the shooting range.
On the range?
This isn't the shooting range.
Lupin.
Let's follow the tracks.
You stay here, it's too dangerous for a woman.
Doesn't that seem very old-fashioned, Inspector?
Well, if you want to know, you'd only be in my way.
Leave it to me, I guarantee that I'll return with Lupin.
What?
What's going on?
Oh, nothing. I have a toothache.
Tell me something, are you from the CIA?
What if we are?
Then you're lapdogs of the US government.
A tame dog is better than a stray dog like you.
I'm not so sure...
If you tell me where the treasure of the Lupin Empire is...
I'll save you the trouble of coming with me to Washington.
The treasure of the Lupin Empire? I don't know what you're talking about.
Try to know if you don't want to suffer.
Captain, look! Something's coming up ahead.
Armed forces from Israel, and the French Foreign Legion.
I thought you were all friends? In the Gulf they fought as your allies.
In international politics, the words and actions differ.
How nice to not work for a crooked government.
Prepare yourselves for battle.
Crap. I completely forgot to bring more wood along.
I wish I had chosen a gasoline car instead of wanting to be original.
Hey! How 'bout a ride?
Give me a ride to the first gas pump!
I'll teach you to mess with me.
Be nice and stay here until this is finished.
I'm in no hurry, take your time.
Israel and France want the treasure of the Lupin Empire too.
Yeah, everyone likes treasures.
What happened to you, do you really have a toothache?
Of course not. I'm calling the Packard.
By using this dental microremote, the little thing returns to daddy!
At least American products are tough.
But that's about all you can say about 'em.
Jigen!
Once again Goemon has arrived right on time!
We're destined to end up in either a red kimono or a white kimono.
I'm taking care of it this time, on my path towards self-purification.
Self-purification?
Dunno know what you're talking about, but thanks anyways, Goemon!
That's far enough!
Wait, hold on!
If you kill us you'll never find the treasure.
Daddy's little baby, I've waited for you!
Oh, poor thing. I bet that hurt.
And who might you be?
Oh, I was in the race, but my car broke down...
And this car, er... I found it standing still.
O RLY? Why don't we go together then?
We were just saying how boring it was with just us guys.
What a wonderful idea! May I trouble you just to Paris?
Only to Paris? Why not ride with me for the rest of your life, sweetie?
To our fated encounter...
I thought you were a spoilt girl who didn't know anything about life.
But I must say that I was mistaken.
Perhaps I know little about life, but I know the kitchen well.
And men - do you know them?
When I go out I must take the car, and the driver is also my
bodyguard, so to speak.
I haven't seen any bodyguard in your car...
Even a peacock in the zoo wants to
get out of the cage every once in a while.
How lucky for me you're not a lion, Fujiko.
A woman can be many things. A lion, a peacock -
That depends on the man she's with.
Unfortunately, my eternal rival in love is business.
I'm sure I can overcome that rival. I adore busy boys.
I love rich men! They warm my heart.
Money isn't all he's got...
Damn, you are indeed a rascal,
you're gonna grab the treasure by using
your position in the CIA.
With the poor wage that they pay me,
they can't expect me to be faithful.
That's your business.
Are you sure that Lupin doesn't know where to find the treasure?
This much my informer has told me -
it seems that the precise location where it's hidden
is written in Napoleon's dictionary.
but if the other intelligence agencies discover it, my efforts will be useless.
Therefore I must keep them occupied with chasing Lupin
for a while longer...
Is that why you still haven't killed Lupin?
Yes, but I will kill him in Bordeaux or somewhere around there.
I see.
I brought you into my plan because you used to race.
We don't have time for you to chase women, so ditch that girl.
Your task is to win the race and get the dictionary, without any fuss.
But that chick could be useful, she's a friend of Lupin.
What?
I understand, it's Fujiko Mine. How fortunate.
I see, please do so.
Is my rival through with you?
I think she'll make me a few million dollars.
How nice. If you need help spending it, I'm very good at that.
Can I put my things in your car?
But that Duesneberg is quite an expensive car.
You're just going to leave it?, Fujiko.
I'm exchanging it. - For you.
Dinner time?
Doesn't look good, does it?
In that confusion, perhaps the
CIA might have captured Lupin.
Just you wait, I'm coming. I'll be the one to arrest you, Lupin.
Your behavior does not appeal to us, traitor.
You have tried get the treasure for yourself, behind our backs.
Look who's talking.
France has engaged the Foreign Legion
and has sent out secret agents
in order to capture Lupin.
Surely we couldn't remain watching without doing anything.
As I said at the conference, the 6% unemployment rate
is killing our economy.
We all got unemployment, it's killing our economy as well!
I get it! Quiet! I guess we can put our efforts
together again, as we did for the Gulf crisis.
But don't forget that we must divide the treasure of Lupin.
What a bunch of crooks...
And what about Japan?
We'll have them pick up the expenses, as usual.
What do you say? Eh He He!
