Lupin the Third: The Hemingway Papers (ルパン三世 ヘミングウェイ・ペーパーの謎)

I'm looking for a skillful mercenary, not an assassin.

Don't judge by one's appearance.

I've seen enough of those with just talks.

Do you want another round?

Okay, you're hired.

It seems you've been here for a while.

Are you seeking for a deep spiritual enlightenment?

I'm burdened with a worry and that's why I'm incapable of separating myself from my alter ego.

I've cut too many insignificant things.

I can't separate myself from my ego and that's causing my suffering.

Do you mind if I take a look at your sword?

It's Zantetsuken. (Iron Cutting Sword)

Yes.

The devilish sword that can cut through anything.

Just like one's life has it's end, there is no perfection in this world.

Are you saying that there is something Zantetsuken can't cut through?

Indeed. I think you need to challenge that something as your disciplinary training.

That something... what could it possibly be?

It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Marcess.

About what we talked about over the phone...

Continue. She is my secretary.

It's an aged Haveli.

Mmm, I'll have some.

The government's military is strengthening its offensive.

In order to maintain our side,

we need many 12 round rapid firing rocket launchers and about 10 more tanks.

I won't be able to supply all those weapons that fast even with my ability.

Please hear me out.

There is no one else other than you who could supply them, Mr. Marcess.

Well then, I guess I could try. But, it will cost you.

Understood.

I have to excuse myself now. I've got a lot of work to do.

Mash!

Go. You'll get your reward only if you succeed.

Are you sure it's not false information?

They say information is power but...

You're lucky if only 5/% of the information out there were even true.

Forget about it. I don't buy it.

The legend about Hemingway papers is popular in our world.

I'm especially sick of hearing that particular bit of false information.

I got a squid in my ear swimming and it's saying "Ahh." Man, it feels good.

Are you buying it or not?

It's about the possibility that Ernest Hemingway

could have been murdered instead of committing suicide, right?

I already knew that.

While Hemingway was in Paris, someone told him a story.

That evening, he started writing a novel based on that story but...

Someone attacked him and the original draft was stolen.

He was killed and the murderer made it look like it was an act of suicide.

As a matter of fact, that draft indicated the location for an incredible amount of treasures.

There you have it. It's a common tale during an economic slump.

That's fine if you don't want it.

I can sell it to someone else.

You leave me no choice. Give it to me.

The Hemingway papers had been floating around the black market

and they finally ended up in Colcaca Island of the Mediterranean Sea.

Colcaca?

However, those papers are stored securely in a box that even missiles cannot break open.

A box, huh?

Careful now...!

That man in the picture lives in Germany and has the key to the box.

And these are the pictures of the box and it's key.

Oops... oops...

Lupin the 3rd: The Hemingway Papers

Hey, you. Your altitude is too low.

You, bastard.

Please don't kill me...

I'll hand over the key so please don't kill me.

I beg you... ahhh!

Hmm? Oh...

I just saw someone in the castle.

Shit, they got ahead of me.

Go back! He could've seen us.

Hmm?

Come on... come back here already.

There should be no problem if I blow up the whole castle.

Come closer... closer...

Now!

Who the hell are you?

Ask the police when you get arrested.

How could they not know who I am?

The Golden Key Has Been Robbed

Get out of there. You're blocking off the sunlight.

We've paid you a big sum of money.

I expect you to work hard.

What you see before you now is Colcaca Island, the pearl of the Mediterranean Sea.

Because of political instability,

a war has been going on for years to this day within the island.

I'm getting off.

The island is roughly 40,000 square kilo meters in area and...

I'm getting off.

Sorry, this island is off limits.

Even a tour helicopter gets shot down just for getting near the island.

The rumor has it that there has been dozens of casualties everyday.

Fly further away from the island at once. What if we get shot down by a stray shot.

Our honeymoon would be ruined...

For the sake of the other passengers please get back to your seat.

But I'm still getting off.

What are you talking... what!?

How unfortunate...

he's probably depressed from being lonely at that age.

Hey, lady. Be careful after 3 months. Your husband will do the same thing as me.

Ouch...

Hello, Colcaca Island...

Hands up.

Why? I just got here.

Are you the assassin hired by Sir Consano?

I'm just a tourist.

Stop it. I'm not into male soldiers feeling me up.

Oh... I told you to stop.

Commander, I found a weapon.

Oh, how did it get in there? I want to know.

A tourist with a gun, eh?

You know, that's a camera shaped like a gun. It's true.

Ain't that right. Then I'm gonna take a picture of you as a souvenir.

Cheese.

Huh?

Isn't it neat?

Also, if you take out the film and put in an oil cartridge (a zippo lighter), it becomes a lighter.

It's a present for you.

Well, see ya.

Don't let him get away!

Fire away!

Hey, you. Get out of my way. You're slowing me down.

Pardon me. I'm being followed. Could you give me a lift by any chance?

Even if I say no, you'll still try to get on, right?

I'm sort of a patient type. Thanks.

I'm glad I came to this island.

Are you part of the Consano clan?

No, I'm not.

Then why are you chased by the president Carlos's troops?

I'm completely clueless.

Hey, Maria. Did you see a man with a stupid face?

Damn you...

I saw one.

Really?

I was talking about you.

I guess he's not with you.

Later Maria. We'll go drinking again sometime.

I guess no one lives in this town.

I live here... by myself.

By yourself, huh.

Maria's Bar...

Is there a hotel in this town?

Out of my way.

That's all the barrels.

Who asked you to help?

C... 8... B...

Who asked you?

It was an act of humility.

An act of humility is you getting out of here.

So they are the Consano clan.

And he's the boss, Consano... What?

Jigen...

Did you join a bike gang while we were apart?

I'm sorry Lupin. I'm busy right now. I'll tell you the whole story later.

See ya.

This is getting interesting.

Mr. President. President Carlos.

The Consano's army of about 750 men is marching towards us.

Lopez. Where is Lopez?

Did you summon me, your Excellency?

What's the main dish for tonight?

Yes, Queen style Ribs with bones. They are cooked in Indian curry sauce.

Don't forget about white miso soup with Caviar and corn beef.

Yes, certainly, your Excellency.

The Consano's troops are 70 meters away from the front gate of the president's official residence.

They have taken their positions to attack.

Hey, Carlos. Why don't you leave this island and hand over the regime.

Then I'll let you live.

Wake up, Consano.

We're in an upper hand in terms of weaponry and troops.

You're the ones who will have to leave this island.

What have you come here for?

If I really wanted to end this once and for all, I could go ahead and use my nuclear missiles.

Try if you can. We've also got dozens of our missiles ready to fire.

I don't mind.

You don't mind?

Don't be too serious. I came here to play some cards. It's been awhile.

To play some cards?

I guess I have acquired a special ace of spade.

Hey, Rivera. Bring him here.

Okay.

Time to work. Come on now.

I'm not an ace of spade.

Shut up and come.

Ha! How about that? Play your card if you think you can win.

The bet is $500,000.

$500,000? Just as I expected.

Alright, I'll play your game.

The contractor number JS2820...

An attack order has been made by the president.

What the hell?

No way.

Long time no see, Goemon.

Not since the seafood cake restaurant in Nenbukuzaka. (Buddhist Invocation Hill)

Why have you become a hired gun for Carlos?

Then why are you with Consano?

I have my reasons.

So do I.
