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]

Mystery of Mamo quotes
Page 4 of 12So, this is how Uncle Sam keeps the world safe for democracy.
All military might is an illusion.
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?
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]
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.
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!
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?
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...
Boy, if you're that on the ball, you'll solve this case in no time!
[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Jigen backwards]
Don't mess me around! [grabs Jigen by his shirt] Listen! We got ways of making you talk.
C’mon, riff, shouldn’t that be his line? If this is democracy, I've had it.
Huh? Not yet.
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]
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]
This is it, Wolf! We're dead!
We'll put ourselves six feet underground, then!
This is the respected U.S. Navy?
Unforgivable. This is way too unreal.
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?
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]
Keep going.
Stuckey
The rest is classified. In any case, we find that his threat is not a bluff.
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?
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?
It's a clue on Lupin. Handwritten by the woman who has been deceiving him. It says "water," right?
What is this about?
If we knew, we wouldn't be here now.
[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Stuckey and Jigen backwards]
Don't talk rubbish! [grabs Jigen by his shirt] There are many ways to torture you!
Is this what you call "democracy"? If that's the case, let me tell you something.
What's that?
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]
US Navy. They weren’t kiddin'.
Outrageous. They cannot do this to us.
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.
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]
Russian Premier
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...
Russian Premier
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...
Russian Premier
Mr. President, surely you're not accusing us?
Mr. Premier, I don't know what to think.
Russian Premier
What has your intelligence turned out?
Gentlemen, if I may interrupt...
Who's that?!
My name is Mamo. [Starky stops the tape]
Starky
Now...
Yeah?
Starky
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.
Russian Premier
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]
Is that it?
Starky
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.
"Mamo"? [lights a cigarette] You just heard him. So what have you got on him, anyway?
Starky
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!
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?!
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?
It means you're not completely clueless anymore.
[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Starky and Jigen backwards]
Mess with me... [grabs Jigen by his shirt] aaannd... you're messing with America!
Oh yeah? Is that so? And which America would that be, exactly?!
Huh? Which one?
Yeah. The beacon of freedom and democracy, or the bastion of... blind arrogance?!
You... Democrat...!
Starky
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]
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.
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.
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!
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.
Darling...
No! Someone help me...
[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!
Did I do what...I think I did?
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.
OK. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] So Lupin.
Hmm?
That guy they executed last spring.
Hm-hmm?
Who the hell do you think it was really?
It looked like me. Our fingerprints were identical. He even had my DNA, supposedly.
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.
Yeah, OK.
Did we touch it?
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.
OK. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] Lupin.
Huh?
So what about that matter?
Well, you know what? It looks like the me who got executed was the REAL me.
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.
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!
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.
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...!
Excuse me, officer... [freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face, then bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic] Heil, mein Führer! [relaxes after Hitler passes him by] First Napoleon, then Hitler? It's gotta be a dream, 'cause none of it's true.
Excuse me. May I ask you something? [freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face, then bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic] Heil, Hitler! [relaxes after Hitler passes him by] What could this possibly mean?
Goemon! Cool!
[Goemon slashes the helicopter's blades in midair; the action freezes for a moment as Goemon reflects on the unworthiness of Zantetsuken's latest victim]
Once again, I slashed an unworthy object...
Goemon! I knew you couldn't stay away!
[Goemon slashes the helicopter's blades in midair; the action freezes for a moment as Goemon reflects on the unworthiness of Zantetsuken's latest victim]
Once again... I defile my blade on an unworthy object.
