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?
Let's go.
Right.
I won't kill you.
Just sleep for a while.
Zenigata!
You won't die. It's just anesthesia.
Sleep well.
Jigen! Daisuke Jigen!
Don't let them escape! After them!
One Chance for a Prison Break
It finally started raining.
What's wrong, Lupin?
Have you given up?
You have to be kidding! Look behind us.
There's somebody following us.
What?!
- Get rid of her! - Yes, sir!
Lupin, I will definitely save you.
Don't bother.
If he wants to escape, he can do so at any time.
Well, just sit back and see for yourself.
But he has the key to that box.
Hey, can you see anything?
No, sir. I don't see anything...
I can only see the rain, sir.
I don't care about the rain!
Don't strain yourself, Lupin.
There's no use in struggling this time.
Still, it was a sight to behold...
...seeing you so pitiful back there.
He's playing me for a fool.
Why didn't he just kill me?
By the way, what would you do if I told you I had an accomplice in this car?
For example, if the driver was my subordinate...
Look outside.
Don't you think this is the wrong way to take if you want to get to Kurohime prison?
Stop! Stop the car!
Stop it! Stop!
Don't scare me like that. Listen, Lupin...
...we didn't take the usual road here because...
...the usual road was shut down...
...due to the heavy rain, right?
Right.
And that time, the driver didn't stop the car because...
...since it was raining hard, he didn't want to risk getting caught in a landslide, right?
Right.
I'm done, sir.
He has nothing that could be used as a weapon.
Even you couldn't smuggle weapons past a throughout physical examination, could you?
I'll return the favor someday...
You just wait!
You'll need to wear this.
No.
He isn't just any petty thief.
Still, every prisoner...
...has to wear this in here.
No, we will treat him as a class A prisoner.
He requires special care.
You mean... This one, sir?
Damn it all...
Listen up! Don't take your eyes off him until the execution.
One minute is all he need to escape, so be careful!
Yes, sir!
In you go!
Make yourself at home!
Please wait! I'm not Lupin.
Lupin swapped places with me!
I'm a police officer from this prison, sir!
Damn you! Stop making bad jokes!
Pipe down, Lupin!
The real Lupin is that guy, the one on the right!
Eh?
Damn! You're going to give me a hard time till the end, aren't you?
I'm a real...
I'm not Lupin, sir!
Don't trust him!
Lupin is a master of disguise, sir!
Shut up! I'll check him right now, so you just wait there!
How cruel...
Check him!
Yes, sir!
Police inspector, he's a real policeman from this prison...
It's a lie!
Don't believe him!
Please wait!
What a terrible guy he is.
Yeah, but not for long.
After all, he's been sentenced... to death!
To death!
Death is the only suitable sentence for Lupin.
I've spent my whole life trying to arrest him.
As one whose whole life has been dedicated to arresting him, I deliver judgment!
His sentence is death!
Death! DEATH!
Lupin the Third, you've been sentenced to death!
I told you to stop it, didn't I?
He doesn't need your help.
He can escape by himself.
But...!
I want the key to that box from him as soon as possible.
Forget about the key.
It's just disturbing his sleep.
I'm not Lupin! I'm a fake!
I'm not guilty! Help me!
Just you wait, I'm sure...
...he'll try to escape sooner or later.
But when will it be?
I can't bring myself to believe...
...that he's actually been imprisoned.
Again!
What a persistent woman...
Someone come here, please! Lupin is trying to escape!
This guy! This guy is Lupin!
Get over here and arrest him!
Shut up, you idiot!
I'm not Lupin!
Why? Why does he just keep screaming like that?
It's been half a year already, and he hasn't once tried to escape.
He won't be able to escape.
And that's because we have here the most secure prison in the world.
You fool! I know everything about Lupin.
The more difficult the situation, the more he's drawn to it.
Just thinking about him makes me feel I could go up in flames!
Don't do it. It's unnecessary.
It's spring already.
Even the great Lupin has to give up eventually, huh?
You fool. You don't know what you're saying.
This is Lupin the Third we're talking about!
I... I've spent all my life on that guy.
That kind of sounds like you want him to escape, doesn't it?
What?!
Nonsense! All I'm saying is that we can't let our guards down.
Honestly! What's with you?
We'll never get to open that box!
I don't understand you!
His execution is to be carried out soon.
Lupin... What are you up to, Lupin?
It's unbelievable.
A year has gone by already, and he hasn't once tried to escape.
Jigen!
That's right! What has happened to Daisuke Jigen?
Jigen, are you going to let him die?
Anything will do! Somebody do something...
I can't be happy with a conclusion like this...
Don't tell me you are really going to accept death...
- Open it. - Yes, sir!
It's finally the final day...
It's been a hard year for you...
...but looks like you pulled it through just fine, Lupin.
Be careful! This policeman, Zenigata...
...is the real Lupin!
Lupin, have you lost your mind...?
Bouzu, the execution will be carried out in 30 minutes. (note: Bouzu=Buddhist priest)
It's his final day, so if you'd please.
Right. Excuse me.
Again? You've shown up every day for the past year.
I'm tired of seeing you, baldie!
Well then, have you come to know the heart of Buddha?
Jigen!
Lupin, what are you up to?
Jigen, huh? We've known each other for such a long time, but now it's time to say goodbye...
Here!
Hey! Just what are you planning?
I'm not planning anything.
I'm enjoying this great game. Execution or escape.
It's a risky game in which there is no room for mistakes.
What's wrong with you? Are you insane?
I'm serious.
It's impossible, Lupin!
You can't do it with your bare hands alone!
Jigen, let me find out for myself whether I can do it or not.
Alright. I understand.
You're extravagant by nature, huh?
Do whatever you want.
Thank you.
How long do I have left?
Just 20 minute remaining.
If you die, Zenigata will be sad...
...because he will lose his purpose in life.
It's time, sir.
Well, pray to god for mental peace.
Die with your mind at ease.
I'm finished, police inspector.
Anything wrong with him?
He has come to understand the heart of Buddha.
Hey! Bouzu!
Did you call me?
Bouzu, could you give me a cigarette?
Police inspector. Can I give it to him?
Finally, it's time for my execution...
There's one thing they didn't notice...
...in the physical examination.
This nail is in fact a razor blade, sharp enough to shave with.
If I wanted to escape, I could have done so at any time.
But, I waited.
I'm betting on the final chance.
The thin line between life and death.
It's all or nothing, right?
Hey, Lupin. Come over here for a moment.
Hurry up!
What are you doing?
Oh, nothing in particular.
By the way, police inspector...
Please have someone shave me.
If I go to hell looking like this, I might scare the devil.
That's a good attitude to have.
Sorry, inspector.
He's saying that now, but for the past year we couldn't get him to shave no matter what.
Just do it.
That's the spirit of the law.
Yes, sir!
Be quiet!
If you don't listen to me...
...you won't make another sound ever again.
Listen to what I say.
It's time to say goodbye to him.
Huh?
Ah, um, we'll finally have some peace and quiet.
Thank goodness, right?
Lupin's escaped!
He did it!
He finally did it!
Eh?
What happened?
He started screaming like he did before.
Inspector, you're being deceived by him!
Don't be deceived by him! This is all part of his plan!
Enough is enough!
No, he's a fake!
He's back to saying that again.
Bah! How low you have sunk!
I'm disappointed in you!
It's time, sir!
Wait! Don't do this! It's a mistake!
Please check again! Please check one more time!
Police inspector, finally, your dream will come true...
...and poison gas will claim his life.
What?!
Don't you know, Lupin?
They use an electric chair here, not poison gas!
Eh?
If you were really working here, you would have known such a thing.
Too bad, Lupin.
You almost managed to escape.
By the way, I wonder who is it that's sitting in the electric chair right now...
What?!
Hold that execution!
- Hiya, Jigen. - Hi. Glad you could make it.
That last cigarette touched my heart.
Fujiko's gone off somewhere.
Probably couldn't stand waiting for you anymore.
I feel sorry for Lupin.
He's dead by now.
I gave him a hard time, but...
...truth be told, I didn't care about the treasure box.
In truth, it was you who was most precious to me.
I mean it...
A year has passed.
I could have escaped anytime I wanted.
But I received such...
...humiliating treatment from him.
My pride was deeply hurt!
Had he used a real gun, I would've been dead.
I wanted Zenigata to feel...
...the same humiliation I did.
Oh yeah, where did you hide that treasure?
It's over that way.
The hillside over there.
- What the...?! - What's wrong?
There was a forest here a year ago!
Hurry!
Please vacate the area!
We are just about to detonate!
Please vacate the area!
We are just about to detonate!
That's benevolence of Heavens for you.
Freedom is great. I'll never want to enter a prison again
Next time, Goemon Ishikawa the thirteen
He is a skilled swordsman
He can cut through anything
There's an uncle beside him I hated
In order to destroy us
He wanted us to fight
Ishikawa Goemon, the thirteen
Don't miss it
Twine itself around my feet
Kick the red waves
Machine scream
It's like a crazy morning light
Walter P-38
In my hand
When I hold it
Everything will disappear
It's a rule
