My name is Lupin the Third.
Grandson of the infamous phantom thief, Arsene Lupin.
The international police are always after me...
...but, well, I have never been caught.
If I want to steal something, I always succeed.
I am the great thief...
...that goes by the name...
...Lupin the Third.
Daisuke Jigen, my partner.
Ever the hard-boiled professional, he's a cool-headed gunman.
A man with a strong sense of duty, I can always depend on him.
Goemon Ishikawa the Thirteenth.
Of the famous Ishikawa family of thieves.
A master swordsman, he can cut through anything with his katana.
He can be a really scary guy if you anger him.
Police inspector Zenigata the Third.
Descendant of the Zenigata family, he comes from a long line of policemen.
He lives to catch me.
He is difficult for me to deal with...
The mystery woman, Ms. Fujiko Mine.
She could be a spy or a thief, there's just no telling with this woman.
She's always giving me a hard time...
...but I couldn't hate her.
Well, then. Surrounded by all these interesting people...
...I wonder what's going to happen to me this time?
Anything to report?
No, not even a kitten has passed through.
All right, I'm off to the next bridge.
Keep your guard up.
When The Seventh Bridge Falls
The challenge of Lupin the Third remains to be met.
In the past few weeks, four bridges had been blown up by Lupin.
And last night, the fifth exploded.
The number of wounded has already reached double digits.
We now go to an interview with Detective Zenigata, the man in charge of capturing Lupin.
Lupin has announced that he will destroy the sixth bridge in the next few days.
Lupin! I'll get you for sure this time!
Stop joking, how could we be behind this stupidity
when we only just arrived to this town last night?
Who the hell is using our names and blowing up those bridges?
If it were you...
...which bridge would you blow up next?
What idiocy are you spouting now?
Jigen, they were talking about an armored car just now, weren't they?
That I'm interested in, too.
Every month around this time...
...an armored truck transports cash for the local bank.
Lupin, are we gonna do it?
Jigen, do you know the intended route of that armored car?
Yeah, of course.
Show it to me.
Well, the armored car leaves the central bank from here and goes...
You can't go through there. That bridge was blown up yesterday.
- Oh, yeah... - Where would you go through instead?
Well, around here and...
Huh?
That bridge fell, too. Three days ago.
Damn it...
It's like a puzzle, or a maze.
Exactly.
Despite the first impression, he's not blowing them up randomly at all.
He's making sure there's only one route for the armored car to take.
The bridge that has been announced to be the sixth one to go...
...is this.
Let's go, Jigen.
It's dangerous to have your boat so close to the bridge!
Thanks for the warning. You be careful, too.
Lupin, it was just like you said.
Looks like It was set up quite a while ago.
It's a time bomb that can also be detonated by remote control.
Feeling cold?
Damn right I am, let's hurry up. I wanna get back home and take a nice hot bath.
Well then, you better hurry up and return this.
What? That's horrible...
I'm counting on you.
Well, well... after all the ado, nothing at all blew up.
I'm hungry.
I wonder if he's really gonna come.
I'm sure the culprit will come to check on the bomb.
See? There he is.
That's your culprit, then?
Well anyway, let's eat now that we have the change, Lupin.
Look!
At what?
The float supposedly stuck is drifting down the stream.
Doesn't that seem strange?
Well, looks like an ordinary float to me.
Take a better look.
What the...? That's weird. It's rolling around, that float.
The string around it is unraveling.
And if you assume there's a strong magnet on the hook...
I get it. Damn it...!
- Let's see who'll pick up the float. - I'm on it.
Over there!
Hurry up! We're gonna lose him.
Doesn't this thing go any faster?
He disappeared to the right.
- Hurry, hurry! - Oh, shut up.
Well, can you see him?
There he is... Huh? He's slowing down.
Lupin the Third.
Damn! Lupin the Third's mistake of a lifetime!
I've been waiting for you, Lupin the Third.
Well done finding your way here.
So this was your plan from the start?
Hey, what do you think you are doing?
- Jigen? - You too?
And so, the two of you are reunited.
Stop it, Jigen. It's bullet-proof glass.
Seems like we've been caught in a trap.
That's right.
It is I who have been blowing up those bridges in your name.
And upon finding that out, you came running, and fell straight into my trap.
All as according to my plan to make a certain armored truck vanish.
A plan culminating in us being framed as the culprits and handed over to Zenigata, right?
No, that depends on whether we can come to terms.
Huh? What's this about coming to terms?
This is a plan I have been working on for many years.
And you're going to execute it for me.
My ultimate plan. All right?
And now you're ordering me around?
Me? Lupin the Third?
Don't underestimate me.
I could escape from this cage really easily.
However, Lupin-kun, what if I showed you this?
Don't you think she's pretty?
Well, yeah...
But what does she have to do with this?
I'm saying that this girl's life depends on your answer.
Oh please, you're just bluffing.
You really think so?
Take a look at this.
This... this isn't good.
Well then, Lupin-kun.
For real, this time.
Stop! Stop right now!
Will you do what I asked?
All right, just stop.
Lupin-kun, please keep this in mind:
Betray me, and this girl will die.
Don't let this fact escape you.
Now then...
Now then, the two of you take a look through that window.
That bridge...!
That's right. It's the sixth bridge.
I had another bomb set up.
Here is my mansion.
It's where you guys are right now.
This is "Ghost Town".
No one lives there because it's slated for imminent demolition.
The streets are winded, the visibility is poor...
...and it's only barely wide enough for the armored car to pass through.
And this is where we attack?
Exactly. It's a perfect plan.
Well then, I will explain the plan.
Here is the central bank.
The armored car will leave through the front gate at 6 AM.
It will reach Point A at 6:11 AM.
Point B at 6:27 AM.
Point C at 6:32 AM.
Point D at 6:39 AM.
Ghost Town at 6:45 AM.
And lo, the seventh bridge falls.
The city will be in confusion, many are likely to die.
And here's where you come in, Lupin-kun.
You are to blow up the car.
I don't like this.
It's way too much hassle for one armored car.
I'll do it with just one pistol.
That's a way fit for a Lupin.
Let's make it memorable, all right? Look lively.
All right.
However, should your way fail, I'm holding you responsible.
Sure. And if all goes well, you'll have to release the girl.
Do you want some coffee?
Lupin!
The coffee I don't mind, but be sure not to touch the machine.
The whole mansion will blow up if you do.
Here, drink up.
Thank you.
I know it's tough, but just bear with it a little longer.
By this time tomorrow...
...you'll be fast asleep in your own bed. All right, Miss?
I haven't asked your name yet.
Lisa.
Lisa, huh? That's a nice name.
Hard to believe we'll be working for someone else's benefit, right?
I'm not doing it for the old man.
You're doing it for the girl? You've got to be kidding.
That geezer won't give up the girl even if we get him the money.
He'll keep the money, kill the girl, the witness...
...and put all the blame on us, huh?
This plan of his is really something.
Well, we'll just have to see what tomorrow brings.
Let's go to sleep, Jigen.
Point A: Passed!
Everything is going as planned. Are you ready, Lupin-kun?
Bah, no use in rushing.
Point B: Passed!
He's getting all excited by himself.
Point C: Also passed!
Point D! They're almost in Ghost Town!
Shall we get started?
Here it comes.
Let's go!
I really don't like this place.
That's odd... Did we take a wrong turn?
Well, the route is pretty complicated.
We should've taken the left, don't you think?
An attack!
There's the bridge!
It's a trap!
We're done.
Naive, much too naive, Lupin.
You're underestimating that guy.
You're saying he's not gonna let us go, since we know everything, right?
C'mon, Lupin, let's just take the money and hightail it.
C'mon, let's do that. Huh? Huh? Lupin...?
Stupid. Just do as I say.
I have another task I need you for.
Yes. We haven't located the car yet. Yes...
Zenigata here. Lupin?!
Yes. Please send help right away.
They're by the piers in the park.
Move out!
Stop right there.
Where's Lisa?
Right here, safe and sound.
I brought the money. Will you hand over Lisa?
I'll keep my promise.
Take the suitcases and come this way, alone.
Stop!
Leave the suitcases right there!
And Lisa?
I will release her. Leave the suitcases there!
Don't look back! Keep walking!
What did you do to her?!
She's right here! Keep walking!
Lupin-kun, the girl is all yours!
Lisa!
Damn it...!
Stop! I'll shoot!
Give it up!
He's the one! The man who blew up those bridges! The criminal, Lupin!
Please arrest him! I have pictures to prove he did it!
That bastard... You've got to be kidding me!
Thank you for your cooperation!
That's not true! It wasn't Lupin-san!
- The real culprit is this man! - Damn it!
What's going on here?
Blub-blupin...!
Damn it...!
Lupin-san!
Ah, Lisa-chan...Woah!
- Lupin-san! - Sto-stop the boat! Brake!
- Lupin-san! - Lupin! Lupin!
Bye-bye, Lisa-chan.
It wouldn't have worked out between you two.
She was such a nice girl...
Hmph, you can run back to her by yourself, then.
Hi everyone. Happy New Year.
Well for the second episode of the year.
I have confidence in bringing you next week's Lupin the 3.
The man to man battle
over a pair of golden statues among a remote village in the snow.
Girls will faint, and even James Bond will be surprised.
Next week's Who's the Last One to Laugh?
Don't switch the channels.
Twine around my feet
Kick the red waves.
Machine scream
It's like a crazy morning light
Walter P-38
In my hand
Whoever has it
Everything will disappear
It's a rule
Lupin the Third
