Page 9 of 12
[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Lupin]

Thanks a bunch.

Well! Man, I tell you, pal, they're all alike!

[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over. They get up and exchange glances]

Whaddaya say?

Mm-hmm. Let's get out of here!

Wolf
[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Wolf]

How did she double-cross me?

[laughing]

Well, what else would you expect?

Wolf
[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over. They get up and exchange glances]

RUN FOR IT!

Mm-hmm. All together now!

[Inspector Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]

Inspector...

[stops eating, surprised]

Hm?

I know you're famished, but...

Well, people are staring!

Sorry, sir, it's just that I've been living on my own earwax for a week, and er...

Ah, spare me the details, Inspector. I understand. You suffered greatly, sacrificed greatly for this department, haven't you?

I have! [sobs]

There, there...

[chomps on a radish, crying]

You're so understanding! I don't... deserve a boss... like you... you're really the best! [breaks down in tears]

[hands him a handkerchief]

Here, thank you.

[blows his nose]

You've been patient, and generous, and kind, and I still haven't been able to capture Lupin! But I never, ever, give up!

Yes, well, um...

I'll never quit!

It's all over.

I've been sent all the way down here to Colombia just to order you off the case. Lupin's gotten himself mixed up with some major players this time. I'm afraid it's way over our heads, Inspector. It's a matter for the diplomats at this point. [Zenigata stares ahead, stunned] Inspector...

How can they... take me off this case?

Well, as I said, the whole matter's completely out of my hands. Oh! By the by... [hands a small document with Zenigata’s name on it] a little bonus pay for all your hard work.

Uhhh...

Token of our appreciation. What was your daughter's name again, Toshiko? All grown up now, hm? [chuckles] Good life waiting for you back at home!

But I'm the only one in the world who can catch Lupin!

[grunts apologetically]

I'm so sorry...

[shouting]

That's not gonna cut it!

Why, how dare you!

[Inspector Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus. He kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]

Well then, I resign! I'll chase the guy as a private citizen! [he storms out of the restaurant to the surprise of the customers, growling crazily] Outta my way!

Inspector! Get back here! Are you mad?

[Inspector Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets] [narrating]

Okay, Lupin... this is IT! You, me! Sun of Colombia, ¡mano a mano!

[Inspector Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]

Mr. Zenigata... [Zenigata stops eating, surprised] eat slowly. Here's some pickled radish and marinated fish roe.

I'm so sorry. I haven't eaten lately.

It must have been hard on you to be away from Japan for so long. You must have struggled so much with so little budget.

[upset]

Commissioner. [chomps on a radish, crying] Commissioner. I really am so lucky to have a chief like you!

[hands him a handkerchief]

Your nose is running...

[blows his nose]

You've taken such good care of me, but I haven't been able to arrest Lupin! I, Zenigata, will give my life to...

Well, about that...

I'll nail him! I promise!

You're off the case.

I've come all the way here to this God-forsaken town in Colombia to find you and order you off the Lupin case. It seems he is involved with a very important person. It's now a diplomatic affair on a global scale.

I don't quite understand what you mean...

At any rate, this whole thing is way beyond us. Oh, I almost forgot. [hands a small document with Zenigata's name on it] Here's a special bonus from the Prime Minister. Wasn't your daughter's name Toshiko? She must have grown up by now. [chuckles] So let's fly back to Japan together.

I'm the only one who can catch him!

Um... I know how you feel...

[shouting]

Chief! I insist!!

It's an order!

[angrily growls]

Damn! [tears up the bonus, and kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at] Then I resign, Chief! I'll go after him as a private citizen! [he storms out of the restaurant to the surprise of the customers]

Mr. Zenigata!

[Inspector Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets] [narrating]

He is definitely somewhere in South America. Lupin!

[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo] [firmly]

You're not going, Lupin.

He stole something that belongs to me. Now I want it back.

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]

[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo] [raising his voice to a desperate yell]

Don't go, Lupin!

I had my dream stolen. I have to go get it back.

Your dream is that woman?

[Lupin turns to Jigen and smiles]

You are so traditional. You really are.
[Jigen's lips part in surprise. He stands in shock and watches Lupin go]

[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo]

Don't be a friggin' idiot!

That's just it... I'd be an idiot if I didn't go!

The world is full of women, Lupin.

It's lousy with women... but not with love.

[Jigen tries to prevent Wolf from confronting Mamo]

Hold it right there!

Wolf

Y'know, Jigen... a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Mamo stole my dream.

Even the Samurai couldn't put it better. But I'm not going with you.

Wolf

I'll be better off alone. I think it's a one-man job.

[Lupin and his gang have returned to their hideout to find it destroyed]

The weapons and food are all gone.

Thanks a lot; I can see that.

[kicking debris, grunting angrily]

Lupin! Forget that woman. This is it. I've had enough; I've reached my limit! And it must have been Margo who told them about this place of ours! If you don’t drop her, I'm getting out of this deal right now!

Oh, stop joking.

Joking? I thought you were the one who was joking! It was a mistake to take this job from a female. And then, out of sheer vanity, you decided to accept evil in return for good!

You mean all females have a wicked nature?

The thing I can't stand is that secret, indecent intention of yours!

Forget it. That's one thing you can never cure.

And just what are you to Lupin? If you were a true friend, you should have cured his immoral habit years ago!

Don't get hysterical, you crazy man!

[a standoff between Don Samurai and Dunn ensues]

I've been wanting to cut that hat of yours.

Hmm? What's that mean?

I want to see if you're hiding a bald head!

Well, now! Wanna fight?

Oh, all right, all right! I realized I was wrong! I'll reform, I'll reform! I promise I'll drop Margo like a hot potato! Now, let's change the mood and leave! You don't want to stay here and starve, do you?

Lupin, where are you going?

If we go over that mountain along the border, we'll get to the Atlantic Ocean.

Idiot! That's more than 100 kilometers!

It's just the width of a finger on one of those world maps!

[Lupin and his gang have returned to their hideout to find it destroyed]

Food, weapons... whoever the hell these guys are, they're real thorough.

Yeah, this wasn't any accident.

[kicking debris]

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...

Goemon

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?

Goemon

...that you are a weak man of no conviction and no honor!

[scowling]

Hm!

Come on. You're being a little too harsh, aren't you, Goemon?

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.

What? Why, you pious jerk!

Goemon

What?

[a standoff between Goemon and Jigen ensues]

Hm!

Goemon

I've always wanted to slash that ridiculous hat of yours!

Huh? What was that?

Guys, come on!

Goemon

It's probably hiding a bald spot as big as your ass!

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?

One little question: where are we going?

Goemon

Like water, Lupin always gravitates towards the ocean.

Damn it, Lupin! Do you have any idea how far that is?

Hey, it's only a little inch on the atlas! Sheesh...

[Lupin and his gang have returned to their hideout to find it destroyed]

No weapons, no food, no nothing. They must have got here first.

No kidding. So you don't think it was termites?

[kicking debris]

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?!

Goemon

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.

[sighing]

You're jealous. Both of you.

Goemon

I warn you – abandon these indecent cravings for the sake of your soul.

Save it. You'll never change him by preaching at him, Goemon.

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.

Hey, I don't have to listen to this!

Goemon
[a standoff between Goemon and Jigen ensues]

Be careful I don't sink my blade into that hat of yours.

Yeah? You just try it.

Goemon

On second thought, I'd probably hit solid rock.

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!

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?

[Lupin and his gang have returned to their hideout to find it destroyed]

Weapons. Food. Everything's gone.

Yeah, looks like it.

[kicking debris]

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.

Goemon

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?

Goemon

What I cannot forgive is your indecent ulterior motive!

Don't. Nothing could change that!

Goemon

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!

Don't yell so hysterically, you lunatic!

Goemon
[a standoff between Goemon and Jigen ensues]

I've always wanted to chop up that hat of yours.

What did you say?

Goemon

I always wondered if you were hiding a bald spot or something!

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?

Lupin, where do you think you're going?

If we climb the mountain and follow the border, we'll hit the Atlantic Ocean.

Idiot! Do you know how far that is?

It's only one hop with my fingers in the World Atlas.

[Lupin and the gang exit the manhole after the helicopter Don Samurai had slashed blows up]

Compared to him, we're stumblebums!

Yeah... he's real different!

[Lupin and the gang exit the manhole after the helicopter Goemon had slashed blows up]

At least we're alive...

NO THANKS TO YOU!

[Lupin and the gang exit the manhole after the helicopter Goemon had slashed blows up]

Compared to Goemon, we're not very cool!

They are no amateurs, you know.
