Lupin the Third: Operation: Return the Treasure

Original Story Monkey Punch

Oh man, how wonderful is this?

It's been a while since your last heist.

Couldn't you have picked something easier?

I just wanted a drink of vodka with a side of caviare at the bar in the Metropolitan Hotel.

So, did you go there?

It was closed because they were remodelling.

Let's try this job as a warm-up.

Lupin, I see Zenigata.

Man, that's impressive for the Old Man.

I didn't even issue a warning this time.

Well, here's our dramatic encounter.

This is inspector Zenigata from the ICPO.

Seeing that you're saluting me, it must not be about how I'm running the casino.

Ian Krochvich, also known as Rats.

You're called that because you make tons of dirty cash.

I own a large graveyard just outside of Moscow.

I'll have a spot reserved for you too.

Stop it.

I'll arrest you on the spot if you pull out whatever you have in your hand.

What are these?

That's Lupin the 3rd.

These were taken by the security cameras at the library.

He was copying the blueprints of this palace.

He always researches before he attacks his target.

It's the harm of Glasnost.

Glasnost is one of Gorbachev's policies that lead to the greater freedom of expression among others.

Don't worry.

Our security system is perfect.

There are cameras covering all areas of the building.

There are no blind spots.

The building isn't guarded?

There's no need to.

If intruders are detected, then the security system locks down the block, pours gas in and puts them to sleep.

Gas? That's questionable.

Lupin might be right under our feet already.

Lupin, what's wrong?

It's nothing.

By the way, are you ready?

Ready, Lupin?

W-what?

It's a power outage.

It happens often in this country.

Don't worry.

The backup generator kicked in.

Anything unusual?

No, sir.

Jigen-chan, make me disappear.

It's all okay, Lupin.

You have been 'disappeared'.

Fingerprints matched.

Retinal scan matched.

Thank you very matched!

That's weird.

What's wrong?

Sir, the warning light says the safe's door is open,

but there's nothing on the monitor.

What?

Pan the camera.

Yes.

I hate how roubles take up so much space.

Are you not satisfied, inspector Zenigata?

Can you point the camera at this?

Yes.

Zoom in on that vent.

Oh?

What's wrong?

Looks like the screen froze.

It's Lupin.

He's here.

He's already in the safe.

W-what?

Your system was broken into a long time ago.

It's open!

He tricked us!

Stand back.

Lupin! You're under arrest!

Long time no see, Old Man!

Lupin!

Stop that!

You might hit the guests!

Lupin went through the casino, and is heading towards the pier.

Jigen Daisuke Robayashi Riyoshi

Is that Jigen?

You won't get away!

All right!

Ishikawa Goemon Inoue Makio

Lupin! This is unforgivable!

Old Man! You'll get hurt!

Wait! You're under arrest!

Mine Fujiko Masuyama Eiko

Man, he stood up.

What a tough guy.

Music Ono Yuji

Nothing is impossible for a Japanese man!

Hey Jigen, here comes another party.

Recording Director Rato Satoshi

Music Director Suzuki Riyoshi

And with some hot pipes too.

Lupin, switch with me.

W- what the heck?

Good job, Jigen-chan of the quick draw.

This is not the time for jokes.

We'll go down if they shoot successively.

Old Man! Take care!

Old Man! Take care!

Operation Return The Treasure!!

Have you found the answer?

When an answer is attained, it leads to another question.

I believe that is the cycle of life.

I'm leaving here for a while.

The Russian Mafia is in town, causing trouble to the townsfolk

I'm going to go talk with them.

I shall come too.

No, don't worry we'll deal with them.

Bye.

Stop it, Keln!

Keln!

This is the best!

I can't believe it!

You spent half of the stolen roubles on this piece of junk!

You need to live by your hobbies.

Can't you at least pilot it seriously?

I want to too, but it won't let me...

What's wrong?

It broke.

There is no man who loved this village and cared for this village as much as he did.

Our dear Mark Williams,

even after you are with our Father we will always be with you.

We will succeed after you in your noble ambition.

Now half of the stolen money is gone.

Money is there to be spent!

Can't you be more serious for at least five minutes a day?

I will try.

Urn, are you okay?

We're fine!

We just wanted to practice a unique landing.

Um!

Let's have some tea together some other day, cute baby!

Bye!

Mark keeps a pretty large number of treasures.

What are we gonna take?

The Trick Diamond.

The Trick Diamond?

I quit.

That's why I didn't want to tell you!

The Trick Diamond is worth less than trash.

The Trick Diamond was mounted on top of the tower at the Sagrada Familia, which Gaudi built, or is still building.

It's called a diamond but isn't it just a piece of a meteorite?

Who cares?

Nobody would touch that.

Mark did.

Then you want to be the second one?

I refuse.

Let's just go!

I quit.

We've come this far, so why?

L-Lupin!

Right on.

Man, Mark stole all kinds of crap.

The Yankee Stadium bench seat where the fan who caught Babe Ruth's 60th home run sat?

They're all trash.

The act of stealing itself is the fun part.

Find the diamond, already.

This is it!

Huh? it's gone.

Old Man!

Don't take me lightly, Jigen.

I'm different from before.
