Pops, you didn't sleep last night, did you? You'd better take a nap!
[The tired Inspector watches Jigen drive Lupin away]
Wait, Lupin...
[His all-night vigil takes its toll and he falls asleep on the ground]
So, Pops, can you do me one last favor?
W-what? Why are you being so polite?
Well, you know, you're going to have us executed, so... I was wondering... Could you marry Fujiko and I first?
Lupin...
Please, I beg you, Pops.
[Zenigata thinks about it]
I'd like to ask that of you as well, Inspector Zenigata. [to Lupin] To tell you the truth, I've loved you all the time.
Fujiko... [to Zenigata] See? Please, Pops. I beg you.
Fine, I got it. I'll see what I can do.
This is my secretary.
[disguised as a secretary] I was just bringing you drinks.
[with an upturned glass on his head] So I see.
Open, sesame.
Please go away.
[pounding the door] Open up! Open up! ... Open, carrot.
Please go away.
Open, tomato. Open, green pepper! Open, potato! Open, burdock!
Please go away.
Radish! Cabbage! Celery! Sweet potato!
[Zenigata has arrested Lupin for stealing a hamburger. Lupin lies on his prison bed while Zenigata drunkenly sits before his cell]
I've been chasing you for ten years. And all that time I've never had a day of rest. Turning my back on my home, leaving my country, forsaking women... all to chase you!
[turning away] You don't get to pin the lack of girlfriends on me.
B-b-By the way... [He falls onto his side] By the way... Why... Of all the shameful things you've done, Lupin... Why'd it have to be over a hamburger? This is beyond pathetic.
[He passes out. Lupin looks over at Zenigata with a smile]
You really are a big softy, Pops.
Damn that Lupin! If I ever arrest him, I'll give him my cold!
[to himself, in the other room] That must be Pops!
Lupin, are you after the boy, too?
As if! Like I'd get mixed up in something like this!
Freeze!
No way!
[At the New York ICPO headquarters, a poorly Zenigata sneezes loudly]
[sneezing loudly] I will definitely catch Lupin... even if I have to sacrifice my life. [He sneezes again]
I don't care about Lupin, Zenigata. It seems you don't understand how important this invention is. Anyway, bring back that boy Mikhail. [Zenigata blows his nose] He wants to use this invention to help starving people Africa and Asia. [Zenigata doesn't listen. He stows away his tissue, then takes out a piece of folded paper] That was the late Professor Kazanov's dying wish. If it winds up in corporate hands or those of a single government... [He realizes Zenigata is distracted] Are you listening, Zenigata? [Zenigata sneezes white powder into the chief's face]
Help us, Pops!
[The mafia follow him and Jigen out of the manhole and chase them down the street]
I'll help you when I've arrested you.
[Zenigata sits before two wooden crosses he made for Lupin and Jigen]
Why did you die and leave me on my own, Lupin? I... I loved chasing you. [He buries his face in his fist and cries]
Hey, Pops! What's up? Did someone die?
Lupin! You're alive? [He dodges as Fujiko drives past him]
Lupin! Wait for me!
[overjoyed] Freeze, Lupin! You're under arrest!
The culprit wasn't Lupin this time. He...
I don't want to hear excuses! Zenigata, hurry up and find that gold, no matter who took it!
[saluting] Understood, sir.
This is a "survival knife". It's used by special forces.
Special forces...
[pointing to an engraving on the knife] Look at this.
Hmm, it's got an engraving.
Yes. It's the serial number of the soldier who owned it.
I see. [He dashes to the door] Thanks a bunch. You've been very helpful.
[As he leaves, Jigen emerges from the locker]
I see. The gold robbers were special forces.
Yeah. No doubt.
[taking the knife] Still, he's not very bright to drop it.
Now, shall we go?
Right.
[Lupin pulls off his mask just as Zenigata comes back in. He hastily pulls it back down]
W... What do you want?
Huh? I thought I heard voices in here. Is everything OK?
[He searches Lupin and stares suspiciously at him]
N... No, I'm just mumbling to myself. What do you want?
Oh, right, right. Could you give me back the knife?
The knife? [He fumbles around for it] Knife, knife, where is that thing...? [Jigen's arm emerges from behind Lupin's coat with the knife] Oh, here.
Ah, thanks. [He stands, wondering why the forensic scientist just grew a third arm. Lupin hastily shoves him out the door]
You got what you wanted, so get out and let me work! [He shuts the door] Phew. That was a close call.
[crying] I didn't know that thieves with children even existed! On the contrary, I...
Don't cry on me, Pops!
Having spent my life chasing this fool, I never even found a wife! I don't even have any darling children! My fate won't allow it!
What snapped in Pops?
Apparently he wants a family.
Poor soul.
This is our chance to run.
[They back away from the poor, lonely Inspector and make a break for it]
I want a wife! I want kids!
