A scene from Mystery of Mamo 1978
Jigen

This is the respected U.S. Navy?

Goemon

Unforgivable. This is way too unreal.

Jigen

It might be us who are unreal.

Gordon

Stand up! Here is Special Assistant to the President, Mr. Stuckey. [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]

Goemon

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]

Secretary General

Mr. President, are the organizations of your country under control? I was blackmailed.

US President

Secretary General...

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.

US President

I was blackmailed the same way. We have proof that he's not bluffing. Some of our communication satellites have been destroyed.

Secretary General

That is of no concern, as long as it's not caught.

US President

I know that.

Secretary General

Then that guy?

Mamo

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]

Mamo

It is I, Mamo, the highest intelligence on Earth. A prophet... Or you can call me God.

Secretary General

God? Are you insane?

US President

Someone claiming to be God making such a strange request?

Mamo

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.

Gordon

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?

Gordon

What is this about?

Jigen

If we knew, we wouldn't be here now.

Gordon

[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!

Jigen

Is this what you call "democracy"? If that's the case, let me tell you something.

Gordon

What's that?

Jigen

I used to be a fan of Monroe and Humphrey Bogart, but not anymore!

Gordon

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.

Gordon

You'd better appreciate this democracy! [closes the door]

Jigen

[straightening his jacket]

Hmph. I don't need to change my mind now.
