Lupin the Third: The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure

Hold it!

Ready, set...

Hi!

Yo. Been waiting?

Been waiting.

How'd it go?

Perfect!

It's getting a bit warm, though.

Why do we need that thing in order to find Harimao's treasure?

This little bronze teddy-bear statue holds the key to it!

Harimao, see, was this great thief during World War II,

who committed robberies all over the Malaysian peninsula.

The treasure in gold and silver he stole from both the Japanese and British forces

that we know of comes to 800 billion dollars!

The hints to finding where he hid the treasure were left to three statues--

a bear, a falcon, and a monkey.

But those three statues were scattered around the world once the war ended.

Yeah. They became highly valued as antique works of art in their own right

Bear, falcon, and cops!

That's monkey, I told you!

Heh? It's Goemon!

Yeah, I hired him as a part-timer.

Part-timer?

There are some prerequisites

to undergoing the training required to attain enlightenment.

And besides, we were just wanting another hand anyhow, right?

Well, he's far better than some goofy schoolboy, I'll grant you...

So tell me, what's your hourly wage?

Y980.

Ah, is that so?

Hey, Lupin!

Well then, part-timer-kun, shall we have you get started right away?

I feel nothing.

Pursue Harimao's Treasure!!

You mean to say you have preferences?

Most impure...

Executive Director: Osamu Desaki

What can I possibly say?

I know this!

Walther PPK- the pistol you favored while in the service.

Yes, yes! I remember!

This car is the one that was specially converted

during that gold smuggling case!

Indeed! It's just like a museum for 007 films!

Not at all. I was the model for his character,

so it's only natural that some things would be similar.

It is a history of my life

when I was in the British Intelligence Agency, in that sense.

I see! Well then, this must hold memories of a beautiful KGB spy, right?

The two of you, together in this compartment on the Orient Express,

loving each other passionately...

She was an extraordinary beauty, but she cannot compare to your attractiveness.

I'm flattered, even if you are kidding!

Is something the matter, Lord Archer?

My little girl, she has come home.

She is a reader at one of the universities in London. My granddaughter!

Welcome home, Diana!

Grandfather!

They can call it ''restructuring'' all they want,

but it's us guys at the bottom who are the ones put out by it!

And of all things, for them to cut off my travelling expenses...!

Sir, we cannot have this. You mustn't ignite any fires inside the carriage.

I am by no means someone suspicious!

I am Inspector Zenigata, said to be one of the great stars of the I.C.P.O.!

I don't care if you're an inspector or a president!

What is not allowed is not allowed!

If you'd just wait three minutes for this! Three minutes!

If you can wait three minutes, then please wait three hours!

Thanks to the Eurotunnel being completed here under the Straits of Dover,

it only takes three hours now to get between Paris and London!

You've already arrived?

Yeah! And I've already put one job away!

So, how about the falcon and the monkey? Have you found out where they are?

He's likely to seduce me before I can find that out from him.

How come? He's in his seventies, you know.

He's the man who James Bond's character was modeled after.

He's more charming than you are!

How can you say that? ''I cannot do the job unless it's together with you!''

Who was it that told me so through her tears?

Why, who indeed?

Something I can do for you?

You must be the secretary Grandfather has chosen.

--Such an enchanting woman, after all. --Thank you.

You'd better be careful, though.

Grandfather has fast hands.

Diana-san, I understand you teach archaeology at the university in London.

I'm just like a manual laborer.

I'm visiting ruins all over the world more often than I'm at the university.

Go on...

And so...?

What!?

How could we let that happen!?

Is something wrong, Grandfather?

There was an explosion in the Eurotunnel, and it caved in!

87 people dead, and 693 missing...!

That can't be! Grandfather...!

It's the truth.

The cabinet has called an emergency meeting to discuss measures.

I'm going to London.

I'll have to consult with Lloyd's main office as to how to deal with this.

Grandfather!

Being surrounded in pinches such as these is one of my occupational hazards.

This is quite the fantastic turn of events.

How come?

That old man is the sole underwriter on the insurance for the Eurotunnel.

For now, we head to London.

London!

Lloyd's Insurance. It's the largest insurance organization in the world,

with 300 years of history behind it.

Insurance companies all over the world,

fearing for the worst where they have to make large cash pay-outs,

take out contracts with Lloyd's.

In other words, you see, they provide insurance for insurance companies.

I guess you could say they're a parent insurance company.

The one underwriting the insurance is a committee of one,

a wealthy famous Englishman.

So long as nothing happens, he profits, but once there's an accident...

Once that happens, then what?

That committee of one then has to pay everything.

And if he can't pay?

Then even if he is stripped down past his shorts and made to stand naked,

he still won't be forgiven!

It's starting!

Lord Archer, you are the sole person responsible

for insurance obligations pertaining to the Eurotunnel, yes?

Are you telling him to go bankrupt?

To pay for everything, even if you were to dispose of all your property,

it would still not completely cover the cost.

Huh? My, my, my!

What?

That beautiful girl there! Do you know who she is?

You know, she's the one that flew her plane past us!

I'll take over this job.

If you take it, will you take it? Can you take it?

Allow me to quote you the numbers.

Assuming you dispose of all your property at a high price,

you are still short by $7 billion.

As far as $7 billion goes, I once won that much in a poker game.

What was the most you've ever lost?

Up until now, I have never lost.

Well, this would be your first loss, then?

You're one of Lloyd's corporate lawyers, aren't you!?

Can't you think of anything!?

Unfortunately, no.

Aren't you the brilliant lawyer?

Thank you.

It's not as if I have no other means.

If my opponent is to face me with four Kings,

I just need to put forward four Aces.

I didn't want to have to do this,

but under the circumstances, it cannot be helped.

I cannot see how you have any means to cover $7 billion.

The treasure. The one that Harimao has hidden.

Harimao?

Harimao, you say?

The boss of thieves that ran riot over Malay during World War II?

Harimao left the whereabouts of the treasure within three statues.

If I may, briefly...

If I gather those three statues together, I will know where the treasure is.

Now that you mention it, I have heard about the treasure of Harimao.

I had thought the story had no basis in fact, however.

I received that photo from Harimao.

Harimao and I have something of a shared destiny, you see.

It's a mere $7 billion. Once I find the treasure,

a debt such as that will be easily repaid!

However, one of the statues was stolen from an Alaskan museum the other day.

How about it, Russell-kun? Are you interested?

I'm interested, Lord Archer.

If you are able to carry out your responsibilities in this matter to the end,

Lloyd Insurance will come to place a perfect trust in you as well.

I will go after the three statues.

I would ask of you to take measures to extend the deadline for my payment.

Please, leave that to me.

I'll play on your team, Grandfather!

This is a lot different from the excavations you do in archaeology, Diana!

Antique artifacts are also my specialty!

Okay, then, first we go after the falcon statue. Our destination is Amsterdam!

Understood!

Say, this sounds like it's going to be a fun job, doesn't it Jigen-chan?

When women are involved, you get like this right away!

Don't say that! I'll rub your beard for you!

Stop that!

I'm nobody suspicious, I tell you!

It's the ones that say they aren't suspicious that are most suspicious!
