Did we touch it?
Jigen We're in trouble. Let's hurry.
We can't just hurry through this. [Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.] 80 centimeters ahead.
Jigen OK. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] Lupin.
Huh?
Jigen So what about that matter?
Well, you know what? It looks like the me who got executed was the REAL me.
Jigen It sounds pretty fishy to me.
I agree. I started to feel like I'm not me. Well, I'll do something about it soon.
Give it up, Lupin! You'll never get through this passage! Block the exits! Here! Over there! Why are you lounging around? Lupin's coming this way! Turn on the lights!
Well, your sixth sense was right.
What are you trying to do here?
Do not fire until my order!
Enough!
I'm sick of this. It interferes...
If it's Lupin, it becomes...
It's Lupin!
Lupin! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
A-ha! Tricked you, Lupin. That passage only goes to the top.
You are stubbornly traditional. Take the hat off once in a while!
Jigen Don't be stupid! I can't change my old trademark that easy.
Yikes! She got me! I'm still dizzy.
Jigen Pretending to be a playboy? Serves you right! If we caught her right away, this trouble could've been avoided.
Lupin, work and women cannot co-exist peacefully.
You're too nit-picky. This is all part of my strategy. [puts on the headphones Jigen had given him as Jigen searches for the signal planted on the Philosopher's Stone]
Jigen You seem to have incredible brain power!
The secret of eternal life and immortality, that Pharaoh and The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty yearned for, are said to be locked inside the Philosopher's Stone. I see.
Jigen Huh. Is that the end of your resea...
You idiot! It's not like I enjoy doing this. I know very well that it is not just an ordinary stone. [passes the books to Goemon and Jigen] If you think I'm lying, read these yourselves.
You're being deceived.
Jigen I agree. [drinks from his wine glass] Lately Fujiko has been off her rocker.
As usual, it was just a waste of energy. [gets up]
Bathroom?
I've had it. I'm going home.
Goemon.
Jigen Do you think we can escape?
Maybe I'll go underground.
Compared to Goemon, we're not very cool!
Jigen They are no amateurs, you know.
Jigen Damn! We have a bold enemy now.
Well, our hideout is in ten kilometers or so. [Jigen looks at him incredulously. Lupin returns a defensive look]
Jigen Weapons. Food. Everything's gone.
Yeah, looks like it.
Jigen Damn! Lupin! Cut your ties with that woman. I can't put up with this any longer! Fujiko must have tipped them off about our hideout. If you don't cut her off, I will cut you off!
Your joke's not funny.
Joke? I was thinking the same thing! It was a mistake to take a job from her to begin with. And then you and your stupid ego overlooked the hostility she showed to your kindness.
But then, women are evil spirits, right?
What I cannot forgive is your indecent ulterior motive!
Jigen Don't. Nothing could change that!
And you. What kind of friend are you, Jigen? If you were his true friend, you would have corrected his bad habit a long time ago!
Jigen Don't yell so hysterically, you lunatic!
I've always wanted to chop up that hat of yours.
Jigen What did you say?
I always wondered if you were hiding a bald spot or something!
Jigen You wanna fight?
All right. All right! It was my fault. I'll change. I'll throw Fujiko out of my life! Let's change the mood and start over! You don't wanna starve to death here, do you?
Jigen Lupin, where do you think you're going?
If we climb the mountain and follow the border, we'll hit the Atlantic Ocean.
Jigen Idiot! Do you know how far that is?
It's only one hop with my fingers in the World Atlas.
Jigen Is your name Flichin, the dangling penis?
No, it's not. It's Gordon. You're Mr. Jigen, aren't you?
Jigen Don't say my name so casually. Why have you been sneaking around?
Jigen Goemon.
Jigen This is the respected U.S. Navy?
Unforgivable. This is way too unreal.
Jigen It might be us who are unreal.
Stand up! Here is Special Assistant to the President, Mr. Stuckey. [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]
What did he say?
Jigen He said... this is the guy who is manipulating the highest ranking top-dog in the world. Or so he says. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and the Secretary General]
Mr. President, are the organizations of your country under control? I was blackmailed.
Secretary General...
Our orders are to provide all scientific data in the area of biochemistry, cytology and biogenetics. If we refuse, they will attack us with nuclear missiles.
I was blackmailed the same way. We have proof that he's not bluffing. Some of our communication satellites have been destroyed.
That is of no concern, as long as it's not caught.
I know that.
Then that guy?
That's right. It is I, Mamo... [Stuckey stops the tape]
Stuckey No explanation is needed regarding the two men conversing. What we want to know is who the mysterious blackmailer is who broke into the secure-line conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]
It is I, Mamo, the highest intelligence on Earth. A prophet... Or you can call me God.
God? Are you insane?
Someone claiming to be God making such a strange request?
Request? This is an order. You would both understand if you knew how the world was made. [Gordon stops the tape]
Jigen Keep going.
Stuckey The rest is classified. In any case, we find that his threat is not a bluff.
Jigen Is that so? [lights a cigarette] Well, this does not concern us.
Stuckey That's not true. What Mamo is requesting was stolen by Lupin. Let me get to the point. Where is Mamo's home base?
Jigen I have no idea.
Keeping secrets won't do you any good. You were always with Lupin. [Jigen hands him Fujiko's clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] What's this?
Jigen It's a clue on Lupin. Handwritten by the woman who has been deceiving him. It says "water," right?
What is this about?
Jigen If we knew, we wouldn't be here now.
Don't talk rubbish! [grabs Jigen by his shirt] There are many ways to torture you!
Jigen Is this what you call "democracy"? If that's the case, let me tell you something.
What's that?
Jigen I used to be a fan of Monroe and Humphrey Bogart, but not anymore!
You bastard!
Stuckey Gordon. Looks like they really don't know anything. [whispers to Gordon, who opens a door] We will approach this from a different angle. You will be released immediately.
You'd better appreciate this democracy! [closes the door]
Jigen Hmph. I don't need to change my mind now.
Not necessarily. I'm certain that he was doing some research on immortality.
Jigen Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible.
Cloning.
Jigen Huh? What?
It's a recently honed human-manufacturing technology. By taking a cell from someone's hair or any part of one's body, and giving it a little twist, you can create an exact look-alike. If you repeat this process, the same individual could live for an infinite length of time.
Jigen If that is true, then the guy who was you and got executed was...
From a single hair, you can make a copy...
Jigen Don't go, Lupin!
I had my dream stolen. I have to go get it back.
Jigen Your dream is that woman?
You are so traditional. You really are.
[Jigen's lips part in surprise. He stands in shock and watches Lupin go]
Jigen Wherever he goes, he'll be chased.
Compared to him, we're stumblebums!
Jigen Yeah... he's real different!
Uh, did we touch it?
Jigen Afraid so. We better hurry.
You know you can't just hurry through a setup like this. [Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.] Give me 80 centimeters.
Jigen Right. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] Lupin.
What now?
Jigen So who was that guy they hanged in Transylvania anyway?
Well, it was me. That's what all the evidence says. He had my DNA, my fingerprints, everything.
Jigen I hate hearing weird stuff like that.
You and me both. It's enough to shake a guy's confidence. At the rate we're going, I'm starting to wonder if maybe he was the real Lupin.
Jigen Now you tell me...
Give it up, Lupin! We've got the whole pyramid surrounded! Go that way! Seal the exits! Hop to it! Hit those lights!
Well, seems you were right after all.
Hey, what's with all the guns?
Listen, I want that little rat taken alive! No shooting, is that understood?
Is that so?
I do not take orders...!
Who do you think you are?
He's coming!
What are you waiting for, you sons of goats? FIRE!
Not so fast, we got him just where we want him! There's no way down from up there!
Too bad. I thought we'd finally seen the last of that mangy fedora of yours.
Jigen What are you talking about? The hat's my trademark, kinda like you and your bad haircut!
You know, deep down I think that woman is crazy about me.
Jigen Yeah, I'm sure that's why she double-crossed you. Good thing we double-crossed her first...
Lupin, the road to Hell is paved with pretty women.
What's the matter with you, Goemon? Did your mom drop you when you were a baby or something? [puts on the headphones Jigen had given him as Jigen searches for the signal planted on the Philosopher's Stone]
Jigen Shut up. I'm trying to pick up the transmitter's signal.
According to ancient Egyptian texts, the Pharaohs believed that the secret of eternal youth was contained in the legendary... Philosopher's Stone, a jewel for which men have searched since time immemorial.
Jigen Heh. If you buy that, I've got some Siberian beachfront property on sale.
I know it's nuts, but someone believes it! That's why Fujiko wanted it so bad. [passes the books to Goemon and Jigen] Here, take a look. It's all in there.
The woman is pulling your leg, Lupin.
Jigen He'd rather she pull something else. [drinks from his wine glass]
This is pointless. We watch sparrows while eagles pass overhead. [gets up]
Come again?
This business is unworthy of me.
Hey, come on!
Jigen Ever thought of driving something less conspicuous?
Don't blame the car, they're following that hat of yours!
Jigen At least we're alive...
NO THANKS TO YOU!
Jigen These guys are sure persistent.
We'll just have to reach our hideout. It's only about twenty kilometers from here. [Jigen looks at him incredulously. Lupin returns a defensive look]
Jigen No weapons, no food, no nothing. They must have got here first.
No kidding. So you don't think it was termites?
Jigen Look. It's obvious what happened. We know who must have told them about this place – a certain redhead with a motorcycle and a skin-tight black leather jumpsuit on! She’s nothing but bad luck; either you dump her or you can count me out.
Will you give it a rest?!
It is you who should give it a rest, Lupin. This infantile need to prove your virility is humiliating to behold... and dangerous. Your lust for this creature has blinded you to her true nature.
I warn you – abandon these indecent cravings for the sake of your soul.
Jigen Save it. You'll never change him by preaching at him, Goemon.
And you. What kind of friend are you, Jigen? You just encourage him. You treat it as some kind of joke. You're worse than he is.
Jigen Hey, I don't have to listen to this!
Be careful I don't sink my blade into that hat of yours.
Jigen Yeah? You just try it.
On second thought, I'd probably hit solid rock.
Jigen That does it!
Hey, now! Hold on! Calm down! You're right, you're right! Fujiko is history, okay? I'll drop her, I swear. And that's a fact! No more women, okay? So let's head for the coast. Unless you'd rather stay here and starve to death!
Jigen No, but how are we going to get there? Huh? [Lupin ignores him] Lupin, the coast is 100 kilometers from here!
It's a couple of inches on the map, that's all. How long can that take us?
Jigen Sorry. I don't mean to be rude, but I got this thing about being followed.
I'm Special Agent Gordon, and I'm warning you, Jigen, take it easy; you're in way over your head.
Jigen Really? You don't say? Aww.
Jigen On the other hand...
Jigen All this just to bag the two of us. Boy, with the Cold War over, things must be pretty slow.
We can thank Lupin for getting us into this.
Jigen Life'd sure be dull without him, wouldn't it?
Stand up! You're in the presence of a very important government official! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]
I stand for no one.
Jigen Me neither, not even for Heinrich Gissinger, Special Adviser to--and the brains behind--the President of the United States. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin]
Mr. President, my country's being blackmailed. I hope your government is not at fault.
Now calm down, Boris. That's ridiculous.
Whoever it is demands that we hand over all of our secret scientific data on cryogenics and gene splicing. If we do not, he threatens to attack us with nuclear warheads!
Well, he's not one of ours. We've been threatened the same way. In fact, he's already knocked out two of our communication satellites!
You do not think that we...
No, no. The Cold War's over, after all. Isn't it, Boris?
Oh... why, yes it is. Of course! But who is this madman?
If I may, gentlemen... I am Mamo. [Gissinger stops the tape]
The first two voices will remain unidentified. They are of no concern. What we want is the identity of the man who broke in on their top-secret conversation... this blackmailer who calls himself "Mamo". [he fast-forwards part of the tape, and continues playing]
That's right – Mamo. Some have called me a prophet; others, a God.
That is lunacy!
That's an understatement. You can't believe that we'll go along with this.
You have no choice! I know every move you make before you know it yourselves. Why, I even know about that little floozy you keep in the steno pool, Mr. President. How would you like the world to find out about her?
Oh... how dare you!
Floozy? What is this floozy? [Gordon stops the tape]
Jigen Aw... just when it was gettin' good.
The rest of it is immaterial. All that matters is reason to believe that this Mamo character is quite serious in his intentions.
Jigen No kiddin'. [lights a cigarette] You haven’t said... what any of this has to do with us.
Don’t be silly. We know your friend Lupin stole some objects at this fellow's request, and that you were with him when he did. Now, then... tell me everything you know about this Mamo person!
Jigen Hey, you guys know more about him than I do.
Okay, stop playing games, ya lousy beatnik! We know you're in this with Lupin up to your necks, so start coming clean! [Jigen hands him Fujiko's clue to Lupin's whereabouts] Hm? What the hell's this?
Jigen It's a clue, Sherlock. His double-crossing girlfriend wrote it and dropped it out of a plane. It says "water".
Jigen I'm impressed. You're clearly overqualified for your job. Next, they'll be hiring guys who can think...
Listen! We have ways of getting you to talk!
Jigen Is this the way the US Government treats folks?! Well, I got news for you, Charlie!
Yeah?! What's that?
Jigen I've always believed in my patriotic duty to buy US savings bonds, but I never will again!
You pencil-necked little pisshead!
Gordon! It is obvious that these two know nothing. [mutters with Gordon, who opens a door] It appears we shall have to approach this problem from a different angle. In the meantime, gentlemen, you are both free to go.
You two clowns better watch your step! [closes the door]
Jigen Yeah. Right back atcha, ya big ape.
So he's just another rich, dirty old man. It was all lies.
Not completely. Maybe the guy has found the secret of immortality...
Jigen Yeah, right. Don’t tell me you believe that rubbish.
He's a clone.
Jigen Say what?
C'mon, he has to be. It's the only possibility that makes sense! All you need is a single cell from a living thing in order to make a clone, or perfect copy, of it. And if you repeated the process, over and over, that thing, whatever it is, could conceivably go on living forever and ever!
Jigen If this is for real, did you ever think that maybe that guy they hanged in Transylvania…
Wasn't me after all, but a clone of me, yeah! That would certainly explain things!
Jigen You're not going, Lupin.
He stole something that belongs to me. Now I want it back.
Jigen All this because of some damn woman.
Buddy, I feel sorry for you. You're completely hopeless.
[Jigen's lips part in surprise. He stands in shock as he watches Lupin go]
Nice to see the two of them getting along.
Jigen Yeah, just as long as those handcuffs hold him.
Did I... break the beam?
Jigen Who knows? Let's just hurry.
If we hurry, we won't make it. That's for sure. [Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.] Max width: 80 centimeters.
Jigen OK. [Gives Wolf a 80 centimeter bar.] Hey, Wolf.
Eh?
Jigen Tell me about the hanging.
What's to tell about? The hanged man in Transylvania...was probably the real me. Probably.
Jigen Eh, that sounds kinda weird.
Yes, it does, doesn't it? Now I'm starting to get the distinct impression this me ain't real at all. And that's some identity crisis!
There's no way out, Wolf! It's all over! Seal off the exits! That way, you men! Don't let him get away! He's got to be down here! Turn the lights on!
Congratulations on your sixth sense! It does seem to work exceptionally well.
And what do these guns mean?
Huh! Unless they're issued with silver bullets, your men would waste their ammunition!
You're under arrest!
This will lead to an international incident!
Lead to what?
The days of Western interference are over!
Motorbike.
That's dangerous driving! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
That'll lead you up to Level 8! Can't get out that way, Wolfie!
At a time like this, your preoccupation with your hat strikes me as being a bit over the top!
Jigen It defines my persona to the world as a cool dude. I feel naked without it.
Cor, what a sucker! What a real knockout that perfume was.
Jigen Serves you right for playing the macho man; simpler to have just given Fujiko the Stone.
Wolf, business and women are a pink and purple colour scheme.
God knows what that means. I only want to say, I planned it all this way and it's working. [puts on the headphones Jigen had given him as Jigen searches for the signal planted on the Wiseman Stone]
Jigen Ah, the man's an undead megabrain.
The Pharaohs said the secret of eternal life, sought by the Emperor Xi, is concealed in what's known as the Wiseman Stone, handed down for generations from time immemorial.
Hm.
Jigen And you believe that? You'd believe the Moon's a balloon.
Very funny. Maybe there are lots of pebbles on the beach, but you ain't gonna pick up many like this one. [passes the books to Goemon and Jigen] Smartass. Read it yourself.
The flea uses the dog to feed on.
Jigen It could be that Fujiko's the flea. [drinks from his wine glass] Guess who's the dog?
Pah! If you'll excuse me not laughing, I've got to go. [gets up]
Need a leak?
All I wish to relieve myself of is your vulgar company.
Don't be that way!
Jigen This is it, Wolf! We're dead!
We'll put ourselves six feet underground, then!
We ain't in the same league as Fujiko's boss!
Jigen No contest.
Jigen It's time we started taking the opposition seriously.
Yeah. Maybe it's time to hole up for a while. [Jigen looks at him incredulously. Wolf returns a defensive look]
So much for my hideout...
Jigen No food, guns or ammo. No nothin'!
Thanks, Jigen. I really hadn't noticed.
Jigen Wolf. I'm just a little pissed off. And I'm telling you you've gotta forget Fujiko. She must've shown the strong arms boys and the mob this place, and they did the rest! It's time to make some painful choices; it's either Fujiko or me!
Don't tempt me...
Wolf-san, a samurai warrior cannot work for a female. You accepted the commission to steal the Stone for her only because you like the look of her ass. The wise man has said, "Nice asses turn men into asses".
True – that sure was a wise guy.
Your degenerate mockery is getting dangerously irritating!
Hmmm.
Jigen Goemon, you ain't gonna get anywhere, so give up like I have.
And do you dare to represent yourself as his friend? Willingness to amputate without ether is the test of friendship, and you have failed it!
Jigen God, you're such a boring schmuck!
Jigen Mm? Just try!
We shall see how little brain you have underneath it!
Jigen Okay! Try your luck!
All right, kiddies, calm down! Yes, you're right! I did get carried away, but no more! It's strictly business from now on! I'll never think about Fujiko again! NOW, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE, OR WE'LL STARVE!
Jigen Get out of here where, Wolf? Huh?
We're gonna head for the ocean!
Jigen But that means crossing Vallée Mort - Death Valley to you.
Don't worry! On my map, it's only an itsy bitsy desert.
Jigen You ain't called Flinch, by any chance?
You think that name would suit me, riff? Gordon's more my style, but I don't think Jigen's really yours.
Jigen Hey, watch your mouth! I'm kinda used to Jigen!
Jigen Hi there, guys.
Jigen So, this is how Uncle Sam keeps the world safe for democracy.
All military might is an illusion.
Jigen Well, those planes look pretty real to me.
Attention! This is Special Presidential Adviser, Mr. Gissinger. [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]
What's special about him?
Jigen Have you heard his accent? Apart from that, he masterminds the world's number-one big bang show. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between the US President and the Secretary General]
Mr. President. I want your assurance that the CIA is not responsible – I am being blackmailed.
Eh, how's that, Mr. Secretary?
I am to hand over all secret technical data on biochemistry, cytology and gene technology. If I refuse, my country will suffer a nuclear attack!
Hey, I've been threatened the same way. And to prove they're serious, they’ve already destroyed several of our communication satellites.
Well, it was not us, Mr. President.
I know that, Mr. Secretary. You couldn't hit one of our satellites if you tried.
Now, wait! Only...
Choke on your borscht. The important thing is – to find out who's behind this.
I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. [Gissinger stops the tape]
I cannot reveal who the first voices we heard belong to, but it's the third voice, which is obviously the blackmailer's, that I am interested in, who broke in on this secure hotline conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]
I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. The greatest intellect in the history of the world. Some call me a prophet; you may address me as God.
God?! You must be insane!
Eh, if you're God, I gotta tell you, your requests are pretty unoriginal, not to say, venial.
Request? I'm giving you and order! And if you care about mainstream, cherry pie and Dynasty as you always say, you'll jump to it! [Gordon stops the tape]
Jigen Go on.
No. You do not have security clearance A-14, without which the material is too sensitive to be communicated to you at this moment in time.
Jigen That's tough. [lights a cigarette] But I don’t see... where the two of us come in.
Mamo's established positive links with the criminal named "Wolf", an associate of yours. I need him. He will lead me to this imposter who pretends to be God!
Jigen Hey, I wish I could help you, only...
Grr... I’m not putting up with crap like that! We got information which says you and Wolf have been partners for years! [Jigen hands him Fujiko’s clue to Wolf’s whereabouts] So, what’s this?
Jigen That's for you guys to work out. It was written by Wolf's double-crossing girlfriend. Nothing else I can tell you.
Water's all it says...
Jigen Boy, if you're that on the ball, you'll solve this case in no time!
Don't mess me around! [grabs Jigen by his shirt] Listen! We got ways of making you talk.
Jigen C’mon, riff, shouldn’t that be his line? If this is democracy, I've had it.
Huh? Not yet.
Jigen I used to be a great Bogie fan, and Elvis, Dean and Marilyn... but now, I resign!
So, you really are anti-American...!
Gordon! Restrain your quite mental outrage. [whispers to Gordon] Let's use a more subtle psychological approach. [Gordon opens a door] We are convinced you are telling the truth and that you know nothing. We have therefore decided that we will let you go.
God bless America and democracy! [closes the door]
Jigen This means I needn't give up Bogie!
I can't stand it. Everything he said was a lie!
Not everything. He could have found a way to live on forever...
Jigen Knock it off, Wolf. How's that possible?
By cloning himself.
Jigen What?
A biological copy. Scientists can make replicas of any human. All they need is a single hair; one single cell to mess around with. They can make a perfect look-alike. And if they go on doing it... e presto! Immortality!
Jigen I wonder if might have been a clone that was strung up by the Transylvanians.
That's a question I've been puzzling over, though I don't remember losing any of my hair...
Jigen Hold it right there!
Y'know, Jigen... a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Mamo stole my dream.
Jigen Even the Samurai couldn't put it better. But I'm not going with you.
I'll be better off alone. I think it's a one-man job.
They seem to have become really close friends!
Jigen He's never happier than when he can outsmart some cop.
Did I do what...I think I did?
Jigen Oh, yeah. We're screwed now.
It's just at the end of this passage. [Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.] 80 centimeters.
Jigen OK. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] So Lupin.
Hmm?
Jigen That guy they executed last spring.
Hm-hmm?
Jigen Who the hell do you think it was really?
It looked like me. Our fingerprints were identical. He even had my DNA, supposedly.
Jigen Yeah I know all that...
Look, I don't know. This whole thing is weird and extremely creepy. Maybe we should just drop it for now.
Jigen Yeah, OK.
Give it up, Lupin! Don't even think about it! Hey! Get back here! Dammit! What are you all waiting for? Move! Out of my way! Turn them on now!
Well, it appears I owe you an apology.
Hey, what's with the guns, Chief?
Look, this Lupin has to be taken alive! I thought I explained that?
How dare you!?
Hey! You little...!
Here he comes!
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot him! FIRE!
There's no escape, Lupin! That passage goes right to the top!
Jigen Whoops! Dammit!
Ah, let your hat go, Jigen! It's time you started to look a little hipper anyway!
Jigen Yeah, like I'm gonna take fashion tips from a guy who dresses like a circus ringmaster!
Hm... ah, now that feels a lot better!
Jigen So if we'd done things my way to start with...
Hm?
Jigen Oh, what the hell, never mind!
Right. Don't forget that Lupin is a masochist, Jigen.
Come on. That's not true. I do not enjoy being made a fool of.
Jigen Well, you sure do fake it pretty good.
Eternal life! Immortality! That's got to be it--mankind's most fervent desire! The Pharaohs, Emperors of China, they were all obsessed with finding the Philosopher's Stone! Look, that was supposed to be the key!
Jigen So Professor, is all this stuff gonna be on the test?
Fine! Be that way! I just thought you might wanna know why people are gonna be trying to kill ya! [passes the books to Goemon and Jigen] Look--here!
It is just a colorful myth.
Jigen Absolutely. [drinks from his wine glass] Of course, Fujiko wants to believe in it.
A major waste of effort for all of us again! [gets up]
Hitting the can?
No. I'm out of this. I'm going home.
Goemon...!
Jigen I got a sinking feeling about this...
You just gave me a great idea, buddy!
I'm now officially NOT HAPPY!
Jigen Guys are no amateurs.
Jigen Apparently, somebody didn't get the joke.
Yeah. Luckily, we're only about ten miles from the safe house we just bought.
Jigen Yeah?
[Lupin returns a defensive look]
Jigen Food, weapons... whoever the hell these guys are, they're real thorough.
Yeah, this wasn't any accident.
Jigen Son of a bitch! Look, I'm just gonna spit it out. There's no other possible explanation. Somebody had to have tipped them off, and there's only one person that that can be. This is it, man; you're just gonna have to choose between us and her!
Aw, c'mon, Jigen...
No, he’s right. Bad enough that your infantile addiction to this woman has consistently rendered you an unreliable business partner. But even now, as she conspires with others to have us killed, you continue to defend her! It shows that...
Please. Go on. Shows what?
...that you are a weak man of no conviction and no honor!
Jigen Come on. You're being a little too harsh, aren't you, Goemon?
It is only natural for you to defend the actions of Lupin, especially since you are responsible for some of his sins as well.
Jigen What? Why, you pious jerk!
What?
Jigen Hm!
I've always wanted to slash that ridiculous hat of yours!
Jigen Huh? What was that?
Guys, come on!
It's probably hiding a bald spot as big as your ass!
Jigen Now that's it!
Hey, wait! Come on! Look! You're right, okay? I'll turn over a brand new leaf. The woman is... history! Word of honor! Now shake hands, and let's move on, okay? I said let's go, alright, guys?
Jigen One little question: where are we going?
Like water, Lupin always gravitates towards the ocean.
Jigen Damn it, Lupin! Do you have any idea how far that is?
Hey, it's only a little inch on the atlas! Sheesh...
Jigen You're not my type, so just take off.
Listen! Just hear me out! My name's Gordon, yours is Jigen, isn't that right?
Jigen Yeah? So what, huh? Hm?
Jigen What the...? Goemon?!
Jigen US Navy. They weren’t kiddin'.
Outrageous. They cannot do this to us.
Jigen You don't read the newspapers very much, do ya?
Stand up... now! This man is the Special Assistant to the President! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds] I said, stand!
Yes, we heard you.
Jigen Look. You guys went to a lot of trouble to get us here. Now why don't we just cut the crap, and get to the point? [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President George W. Bush and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin]
Mr. President, I must protest, in the strongest possible terms, the blackmailing of my administration by yours.
Mr. Premier, I'm afraid I don't...
Please, don't insult us further. We've been threatened with nuclear attack if we don’t hand over all classified research in biochemistry, cytology and biogenetics.
Mr. Premier, we just lost two communications satellites after receiving similar demands, and frankly, the capability for such a strike...
Mr. President, surely you're not accusing us?
Mr. Premier, I don't know what to think.
What has your intelligence turned out?
Gentlemen, if I may interrupt...
Who's that?!
My name is Mamo. [Starky stops the tape]
Now...
Jigen Yeah?
The identification of that third voice is a matter of the utmost importance. Not only to this administration, but to the entire world. Please, listen carefully now. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]
My name is Mamo. I am the living embodiment of intelligence. A prophet... a God to you.
You’re a madman!
He’s a terrorist! Whoever he is, what kind of a God threatens humanity with universal apocalypse if he doesn’t get his way?!
I heard you weren’t much of a student in your school days, Mr. President... but apparently, even the Bible you thump so shamelessly is the Reader’s Digest edition. [Gordon stops the tape]
Jigen Is that it?
The rest is classified. But, as you heard the President himself confirm, this terrorist, whoever he is, clearly has the capacity to carry out his deadly threats.
Jigen "Mamo"? [lights a cigarette] You just heard him. So what have you got on him, anyway?
Very little, apart from the fact that your friend, Mr. Lupin, appears to have been running some errands for him lately... which is where you come in. Tell us the location of Mamo's operation!
Jigen Hey, how in the hell should we know?
Well... I'd suggest you think very hard! We're able to lock people up without a trial these days, you know! [Jigen hands him Fujiko’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] Hm? What the hell is this?!
Jigen Here's all I've got for ya. Broad who's been playing him dropped it from a plane. It's her handwriting.
And what does this mean?
Jigen It means you're not completely clueless anymore.
Mess with me... [grabs Jigen by his shirt] aaannd... you're messing with America!
Jigen Oh yeah? Is that so? And which America would that be, exactly?!
Huh? Which one?
Jigen Yeah. The beacon of freedom and democracy, or the bastion of... blind arrogance?!
You... Democrat...!
Gordon. I believe him. [whispers to Gordon] I suggest we check our other leads. [Gordon opens a door] Your country thanks you for your cooperation, Mr. Jigen. We will be in touch if we require anything further.
You keep your nose clean in the meantime! [closes the door]
Jigen Hm! Call me a Democrat, will ya?
Maybe it wasn't. I think he was researching immortality...
Jigen He's just another wacky old rich guy.
Or a clone.
Jigen Say what?!
You said it yourself. The guy had the bucks to pull anything off! Technologically, it's not a big deal anymore. Just a little dab of DNA'll do ya, and theoretically, if you repeat the process over and over again, you – or, successive copies of you – could live forever.
Jigen Well, it certainly would explain the mystery of your dear departed doppelganger...
And a single strand of my hair is really all anybody would have needed to do it.
Jigen Anybody with a few billion dollars to play with...
Jigen Don't be a friggin' idiot!
That's just it... I'd be an idiot if I didn't go!
Jigen The world is full of women, Lupin.
It's lousy with women... but not with love.
You'd never know they were sworn enemies.
Jigen Like you and him, minus the masochism.
