So, this is the genuine American navy?
It's stupid. This is too unrealistic.
You and me are the things that are unrealistic.
Stand up! Special Presidential Aide, Mr. Gissinger! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]
He said... this guy's the mastermind for the biggest man in the world! [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and the Secretary General]
Mr. President. Do you really have good control of your government? Do you realize I'm being blackmailed?
I am to supply all secret technical data on biochemistry, cytology, gene technology... and if I refuse, they’ll attack with an atomic missile.
I've been threatened the same way. And to prove that they really mean it, they've already destroyed several of our communication satellites!
I must remind you that it has nothing to do with us.
Then, do you think that man is...?
M Mamaux
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! [Gissinger stops the tape]
It is not necessary to explain to you who these people are. We are interested only in the blackmailer who broke in on the hotline… when they were having a secret conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]
M Mamaux
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! The greatest brain in the world. A prophet... or you may call me God!
God?! You must be insane!
For one who calls himself God, your requests are pretty weird...
M Mamaux
Requests? This is an order. If you really know what is going on in the world right now, you should know better than this. [Gordon stops the tape]
Hm? That's enough. The rest is much too sensitive. We are positive that this man really means what he says.
Is that right? [lights a cigarette] Well, anyway... it's got nothing to do with us.
Ah, but it does. Most of the things that Mamaux demands from us was stolen by that man Lupin. The bottom line: we want to know where Mamaux is!
Your hiding won't do you any good! You men have always been working together with that thief Lupin! [Dan hands him Margo’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] What is this?
A clue to find Lupin. It’s written by Lupin's double-crossing girlfriend, and it reads "water".
If I knew that, neither of us'd be here!
[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Dan Dunn backwards]
Stop kidding me! [grabs Dan by his shirt] There are many ways that we can torture you!
Is that the way you operate democracy?! Well, then, I've got news for you!
I was a fan of Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart... but not anymore!
Gordon! These two, they know nothing. [whispers to Gordon, who opens a door] We will approach this problem from a different angle. You will be released immediately.
Be grateful to democracy! [closes the door]
[straightening his jacket]
Hm... I didn't have to give up Humphrey Bogart!
M Mamaux
And are you looking for something?
You're the head doctor? I'd like to find the host of this party.
M Mamaux
[laughs]
This is not a mental hospital, and we are not having a costume ball, either. These are all the actual people, just as you see them here, Lupin. [turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified] I am Mamo. I now have the Wiseman Stone.
M Mamaux
The reason I didn't take the Stone personally was that I wanted to know you. I'm satisfied with the result. You are the greatest thief on the face of the Earth.
I already know that, but I'm not working for you, and I never will!
M Mamaux
I haven't forgotten your compensation. I intend to give you the greatest gift of eternal life.
Oh, come off it! There's nothing good about living so long, you degenerated kid!
M Mamaux
I do feel sorry for your foolish extra-un-ordinary conceptions.
Stop using those big words! Just give me back the stone! [charges at Mamaux and almost falls off the platform]
M Mamaux
[laughs]
Don't be so timid now.
Damn! [steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo] This trick with the hard glass is old stuff now! Just give me the... [falls screaming through an invisible hole and makes a hard landing on his rear end] Ouch, that smarts! [gets up as Mamo cackles at him] Where are you, Mamaux? This time, you got me really angry, you know! I'LL FIX YOU!
Ah, it's time for us to have a little fun!
No, wait, you! I've got something to tell you.
Come on, you don't mind, do you? The time is ripe.
[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamaux's throne room. Mamaux stares at them, outraged]
Oh, I don't think it's possible to behave now! [Margo tickles Lupin] Oh, that's ticklish! Oh, I've gotten to the point of no return, Margo! You've got to do something! [Margo knees him in the crotch] Do something, Margo, come on!
M Mamaux
[finally at the end of his rope]
NOW, BOTH OF YOU STOP IT!
M Mamaux
[Mamaux shows Lupin and Margo surveillance footage of Dan Dunn and Don Samurai] [chuckling]
I believe your friends have arrived.
M Mamaux
And one more person...
[Detective Scott, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning Laozi of his location]
Even the old shamus! [laughs] This is getting crazier and crazier!
M Mamaux
The man who's entertaining him right now is an ancient Chinese philosopher.
You mean he’s paranoiac and thinks he is...
M Mamaux
No, he's the real one!
M Mamaux
[Mamaux shows them images of the people he has cloned]
Listen carefully. It took me 10,000 years to collect them. Politics, religion, philosophy, art. I preserved the most brilliant men in history from every field, and right now they still exist here. Have you ever thought about the end of the world? Well, here's a prophecy: in but a few more days, the world will come to an end. Only those chosen by me will live... for eternity. Only... beautiful and superior things can obtain eternal life from me.
[apparently deep in thought]
Now I get it. So that's it... [chuckles, then laughs hysterically]
M Mamaux
What's so funny?!
[still chuckling]
Oh, very artistic and original drama! I give you credit! The gift of eternal life, followed by the destruction of the world! Oh, that's very good!
M Mamaux
Ah, how ignorant and stubborn he is! You see what I mean, Margo? This man does not have the type of brain that should live throughout eternity.
M Mamaux
[Margo is put off by Mamaux's statement]
Margo, it will only be you who will have eternal life.
Well, if I can't be with Lupin, then I don't want it.
Oh, I'd like to have eternal youth... but I don't want to stay around and see Lupin as a shrivelled-up old man.
M Mamaux
History was made by my continuous interference. Understand? A clone was the passage to God!
What a man! So my being born was also some of your doing?
M Mamaux
[chuckles]
You are nothing but an animal given birth by an absurdity! And to help make your work easier for you, I made an exact copy of you - and I wonder what happened to it? The man who was executed could have been the original Lupin.
Don't talk stupid! I am what I am: the genuine Lupin III!
M Mamaux
I would think about it if I were you!
[He disappears, laughing]
M Mamaux
So... even a clone has its limitations.
OM Older Mamaux Clone
The transfer of chromosome information has not been exactly 100% complete. As you repeat the copying process, the image begins to fade... the endless clone chain reaction has been disturbing the cell system. For 130 generations, I have preserved my original body in all its exact detail by floating it in a special Ringer's Solution. Since then, my bodies have all been copies of a copy.
You mean that... you're an inferior quality Mamaux?
OM Older Mamaux Clone
All this is for the sake of immortality... [dies]
M Mamaux
[seeing Lupin come towards him on the treadmill]
It seems you do not fear death. All right, then I will tell you. It was your copy who was executed. You are, indeed, the original Lupin. Now, die with peace of mind! [He sends a barrage of lasers at Lupin. Lupin holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]
[in thought]
Samurai, you saved my life.
